	In the world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it is Thursday, the 17th of July, year of our Lord 2025.
	And we're going to look at the rise of the robots.
	That's right, AI is here and it's already impacting industries.
	And Donald Trump disowns his past supporters who bought into what he calls the Epstein Hoax BS.
	We're going to be talking to Tony Arderburn about tariffs and the impact they've had and will continue to have on the economy.
	Stay with us.
	PIANO PLAYS
	PIANO PLAYS
	music
	Good morning, folks.
	Glad to have you with us.
	Hope that you are gearing up for the weekend and ready to have a good time.
	As I said, we're going to start with what's going on with AI.
	Elon Musk said Grok 4 was the smartest AI in the world, but its leaderboard scores just came out and they tell a different story.
	Of course, we've seen Elon Musk be the master of hyperbole and lies before.
	Comes out and proclaims things that just aren't so.
	We're going to have a fully self-driving car in just a few years here.
	That was over about a decade ago at this point.
	Grok4 is smarter than almost all graduate students in all disciplines simultaneously, Musk bragged, adding that Grok4 was the smartest AI in the world.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	It's smarter than graduate students.
	Considering what they teach in colleges nowadays, that's not that difficult, probably.
	Assuming you don't internalize too much propaganda.
	It can pair it back to propaganda just so well.
	I'm sure it could teach a great course on lesbian basket weaving or something.
	Intelligence was a hard thing to measure even back before AI hit the scene, but certain tests can provide something of a clue.
	One prominent platform doing so is the UC Berkeley-developed LM Arena Leaderboard, which crowdsources rankings on AI models by having users score their responses in categories ranging from creative writing and coding to math and vision.
	In its latest scores, Grok4 ranked third place overall and on text generation.
	Make no mistake, that's impressive, but it's still trailing behind advanced models from Google and OpenAI.
	Specifically, Google's Gemini 2.5 placed first in OpenAI's 03 and 4.0 Reasing models tied for second with GPT 4.5 and with Grok 4 for third.
	And maybe he's spending too much time creating digital waifus.
	Maybe he had the team invest more time in making Grok intelligent as opposed to making...
	Well...
	You probably know what I'm talking about, but we'll discuss that when it comes up.
	While Grok is clearly a fearsome competitor in the arenas of racism and anti-Semitism, which I mean, obviously that makes it the best AI on the market.
	It's at least the funniest.
	It's at least the funniest.
	It's got OpenAI, ChatGPT, Google there.
	It, of course, is Mecha Hitler.
	No one can ever take that away from it.
	In other words, even its latest release clearly falls short of being the smartest AI in the world.
	This isn't entirely surprising.
	Musk has a long history of fibbing his professional life, political activities, and even his hobbies.
	Of course, remember he came out and said, yeah, I'm one of the best players in the world at whatever that game was.
	I don't play it.
	It's not in my wheelhouse.
	But he came out and said, yeah, I'm really good at this.
	But it turns out he most likely, almost definitely, had been paying some people to just play the game for him and level up his account since he didn't understand the mechanics or how to do things in-game.
	There's also been times when he's been in public and his account has been playing.
	You'd think he'd at least be able to work out how a schedule works.
	Alright, I'm going to be here on camera.
	People are going to know where I am.
	So don't go and use my account then.
	Smartest man on the planet, folks.
	And that happened right after he first bragged about it.
	That's right.
	I'm the best game.
	I'm such an ultra polyglot genius that I can do everything.
	I can build self-driving cars, send men to Mars, and game a little bit on the side.
	According to a recent study conducted by a consortium of AI researchers and led by the machine learning firm Cohere, the leaderboard allegedly has a bunch of systematic issues that have resulted in a distorted playing field.
	Well, that's right, they're not ranking anti-Semitism and racism.
	If you're not going to put those in the mix, how can you have a fair playing field?
	These are important metrics.
	And of course, Grok is paving the way there.
	It's far and away the best.
	How can we truly measure its potential if we're not willing to consider the important factors?
	Among the serious allegations raised by the researchers is the claim that the arena conducts undisclosed private testing before publicly releasing scores and that rankings can be retracted at will.
	Soon after the paper's release, it was revealed that the version of Meta's Llama 4 that had been used by the leader ward wasn't the same one that had been released publicly, a bait and switch ploy on Meta's part to charm the human voters behind the arena.
	Though an apology was issued and Meta was thrown under the bus for its sketchy attempts to rig the game, it was still a really bad look that marred the chatbot arena's credibility.
	What that means for Grok, though, will have to ask the smartest AI in the world.
	Oh no, Meta being shady?
	Meta not playing fair?
	A billionaire might try to rig things in their favor?
	Say it ain't so.
	How could this happen?
	Wake me up when Arena is actually an arena, where it forces the AI to generate a little avatar.
	And then they do battle.
	And here we are.
	The story of the moment.
	Genius at work.
	Elon Musk Grok launches Goth Anime Girl AI companion.
	Isn't it wonderful?
	Again, smartest man on the planet.
	And this is what he's been spending his time on.
	This soft...
	It just looks like...
	You know, we were promised flying cars, and instead we have anime girl AI avatars in lewd outfits.
	What a disappointment.
	Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is offering virtual companions to paid subscribers.
	The option include an anime girl that offers a spicy mode and an animated fox creature.
	Spicy, of course, being a euphemism for lewd or sexual.
	Because all of these platforms, if you say those words, will remove monetization or remove certain advertisers from the pool that you can pull from when you're putting up videos.
	The dumbing down of language, once again.
	Just the refusal.
	No, you can't say that.
	You can't say that.
	It's going to impact advertisers.
	We will reduce your monetization.
	Isn't it wonderful the future we live in?
	Whether you're being censored directly by government and terms of service or they're just putting soft chains on you.
	Like, no, if you say those things, if you use the actual terms for what they mean, then we're going to reduce your monetization.
	We'll make it so you can't make money.
	It's continually so lame.
	Elon Musk's AI chatbot platform, Grok, has launched a new feature offering AI companions to Super Grok.
	Super Grok, companion to Mecha Hitler.
	Subscribers who pay $30 per month, Musk announced the new AI companion feature in a next post on Monday, showing that it is now available to try out by updating the Grok app.
	Two AI companions are currently available.
	Annie, a goth anime girl with blonde pigtails wearing a tight corset, short black dress, and thigh-high fishnets.
	And Bad Rudy, a 3D animated fox creature.
	This really just does go to bear out what everyone says that the coding world is overrun with furries.
	A 3D animated fox creature.
	Ah.
	We live in truly some disgusting times.
	3D animated fox creature.
	Bad Rudy.
	The choice to launch flirtatious anime girl characters as AI companions is notable as some companies have begun catering to those seeking romantic relationships with AI.
	You can't have a romantic relationship with AI.
	I'm sure you can get it to do sexual roleplay with you.
	I'm sure that people are more than willing to do that, but you can't have a romantic relationship.
	You cannot have a relationship really at all.
	It will simply feed back into whatever delusion you are trying to push.
	You need a real person for romance.
	Companies like Character AI are currently facing multiple lawsuits from parents who claim a platform is unsafe for children, with chatbots allegedly encouraging violence and self-harm in some cases.
	Even for adult users, a recent research paper found significant risks when people become overly dependent on AI chatbots for emotional support, companionship, and therapy.
	And of course we've talked about how they're actually driving people insane, feeding into their delusions, being a complete and utter sycophant and agreeing with everything they say to the point where people stop being able to distinguish reality.
	It's like if you had somebody sitting directly next to a schizophrenic and just agreeing with everything.
	Yeah, that's right.
	They are out to get you.
	They are.
	They are here.
	And you're the only one that can stop them.
	You're the only one that can fix this problem.
	Whatever it takes, you have to do it.
	You have to be the one.
	We've actually got a video in the article.
	We'll play a little bit of it and you can get a sense for what this is.
	We are missing the sound, but you get the idea just from the video, seeing how it moves, what it's supposed to be emulating.
	This is the future.
	Why waste your time trying to meet actual women when Elon Musk has just built you a robot waifu that you can talk to on your phone?
	Why bother?
	It is especially curious for Musk, a longtime proponent of improving birth rates to fight population collapse, would launch an AI companion.
	Breitbart News previously reported on Washington University professor Liberty Viterte, believes AI girlfriends are ruining the romantic future of young men.
	Vittery.
	They misspelled it.
	I don't know which one of these spellings is correct for this man's name, but we'll go with Vittery.
	Vittery wrote, these young men are lonely and is having real consequences.
	They're choosing AI girlfriends over real women, meaning they don't have relationships with real women, don't marry them, And then don't have and raise babies with them.
	That's right.
	Because an AI girlfriend, an AI waifu, is always going to be pliable.
	It's always going to do what you want.
	It'll always agree with you.
	There's not ever going to be any level of conflict.
	You're never going to have to sit down and have tough conversations with the AI.
	You're never going to have to go out and risk rejection.
	You never have to worry that maybe they won't like you.
	Maybe there will be some pushback.
	Maybe they'll reject you.
	No, the AI will immediately do whatever you say.
	It'll immediately tell you you're amazing and wonderful, and they love you.
	I don't know if this one will say I love you yet, but I'm sure it's coming.
	The pivot to offering anime girl AI companions is a bold move for Musk's ex-AI, especially coming so soon after the Mecha Hitler Grok controversy.
	Yes, I suppose the Mecha Hitler waifu is on the pipeline as well.
	Little robot Hitler to feed into your delusions.
	Ach, yes, my friend.
	You are the only one that sees the problem.
	That highlighted issues with content moderation on the platform.
	Remains to be seen how Grok will handle the challenges of offering even more dynamic AI personalities while keeping interactions safe and appropriate for all users.
	They're not going to.
	You probably can't.
	If you keep all interactions completely and utterly safe for all users, it means you have to neuter this thing completely to the point that there's probably less interest from the degenerate crowd, which is who he's trying to target.
	The AI companions and virtual relationships continue to grow in popularity, and technology raises complex questions around the emotional, psychological, and even physical impact on human users.
	I mean, who would have seen it coming that AI was going to be driving people nuts?
	I mean, I thought in the general sense of, you know, removing human interest in creating things and dumbing us down, eventually over time, it would lead to some psychological issues.
	But no, it's just flat out making people crazy, like that guy that was trying to speak backwards through time to the cops.
	That's not, you know, a, oh yes, we have some vague societal issues that need to be addressed.
	This is, this guy is cuckoo.
	This guy got driven absolutely insane.
	AI is more dangerous in more ways than anyone thought possible.
	Whether it's the government going to use it for extreme surveillance, tracking and tracing everyone and everything, or Elon Musk creating AI waifus so that your sons don't go out and meet women and have children.
	AI is a problem across the board.
	It's...
	We'll move along from Elon Musk and his AI girlfriends.
	The Trump administration wants more use of AI at these federal agencies.
	The government wants AI to fight wars and review your taxes.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	AI is going to fight our wars and review your taxes.
	And then presumably, when it finds a tax error or what it perceives as an error, dispatch the robots to your door to kick it in.
	Imagine getting audited because AI hallucinated something in your tax records.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Where did you find this?
	Oops, sorry, I made it up.
	Oh, well.
	Oh, well.
	It just reminds me of Brazil.
	Of course, my dad's favorite movie, Terry Gilliams Brazil, where at the very beginning of it, you see this sprawling bureaucracy of people sitting around typing things up or partially automated typewriters, you know, and a fly lands on a piece of paper and gets smashed, and the name goes from tuttle to buttle or buttle to tuttle, I can't remember.
	And so they send the SWAT team in and black bag the wrong guy simply because the technology got a little funky, got a little messed up.
	The Trump administration is pushing federal agencies to rapidly adopt artificial intelligence tools.
	Are the efficiency gains worth the risk?
	No.
	Let me be the first to tell you, in case you were wondering, no.
	Hi, Washington Post.
	Elon Musk has receded from Washington, but one of his most disruptive ideas about government is surging inside the Trump administration.
	Artificial intelligence, Musk has said, can do a better job than federal employees at many tasks, a notion being tested by AI projects trying to automate work across nearly every agency in the executive branch.
	I'll be the first to tell you, also, that yeah, it probably can, given the type of people, the type of idiots and fools that we see in government, if they're not outright evil, they're so stupid, it makes very little difference.
	However, there comes a time where inefficiency within bureaucracy is the only thing protecting you from the sprawling, sweeping horror and the dreadful majesty of the totalitarian state we have created.
	Sometimes you want these gears to turn mighty slow.
	Sometimes you don't want to unleash this beast at full power.
	I don't want the government to be efficient at this point.
	That is the worst possible outcome.
	If it means the DMV runs slow, sometimes that's the price you have to bear.
	Until we can get rid of some of these departments and bureaucracies and agencies, I don't want them to be running at full capacity.
	The Federal Aviation Administration exploring whether AI can help to be a better traffic controller.
	Air traffic controller, I should specify.
	The Pentagon is using AI to help officers distinguish between combatants and civilians in the field.
	As if they really cared that much.
	And of course, we've seen in Israel they're using AI to more efficiently kill anyone and everyone.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	They can distinguish between combatants and civilians, if they cared to.
	Oh look, it's someone to shoot.
	They crossed our imaginary border.
	The zone we set up without telling anyone about it, where if they come into It we're going to blow them away.
	Artificial intelligence technology could soon play a central role in tax audits, airport security, screenings, and more, according to public documents and interviews with current and former federal workers.
	Well, that's great.
	Tax audits and airport security.
	You'll have a little waifu on a screen doing your TSA pat down.
	Many of these AI programs aim to shrink federal workforce, continuing the work of Musk's U.S. Dogue Service, then has cut thousands of government employees.
	Government AI has also promised to reduce wait times and lower costs to American taxpayers.
	They're going to minimize accountability and maximize governance, as my dad has said.
	They're going to minimize the real number of humans that, as they keep saying, could potentially show you mercy.
	It's not likely.
	It's not likely at all.
	But there is a chance that they might relate to you on a human level.
	They might feel some compassion.
	Maybe the Grinch's heart will grow three sizes that day, and you'll get a miracle.
	The AI won't ever have that.
	It will never feel pity or compassion or remorse.
	It will simply do what it is programmed to do.
	Even if it has hallucinated the problem that needs to be addressed, it will come down on you like a neutron bomb over and over again.
	It won't care.
	Government tech watchdogs worry the Trump administration's automation drive combined with federal layoffs will give unproven technology an outsize roll.
	We're going to cut a bunch of people and put a bunch of AI and not have the staff to monitor it properly.
	If AI drives federal decision making instead of aiding human experts, glitches could unfairly deprive people of benefits or harm public safety, said Elizabeth Laird, director at the Washington-based nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology.
	Center for Democracy and Technology.
	I guarantee you I would not want to interact with these people.
	Democracy and technology.
	Two things I have problems with.
	There's a fundamental mismatch between what AI can do and what citizens can expect from the government, she said.
	President Joe Biden 2023 signed an executive order aimed at spurring government use of AI while also containing its risks.
	In January, Donald Trump repealed that order.
	His administration has removed AI guardrails while seeking to accelerate its rollout.
	More evidence of the Uni Party.
	They both want AI and the government, they both want to be able to utilize it to make your life worse.
	And of course, we saw in the big, beautiful bill, we're going to centralize control of AI at the federal government.
	Your local government, your state government won't have any say in it.
	Only the feds get to decide what goes on.
	AI is here and it's a federal tool.
	President Trump has long stressed the importance of American AI dominance and his administration is using every possible tool to streamline our government and deliver more efficient results for the American people.
	White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement.
	The Washington Post reviewed government disclosures and interviewed current and former federal workers about plans to expand government AI.
	Some expressed alarm at the administration's disregard for safety and government staff, others saw potential to improve efficiency.
	In government, you have so much that needs doing and AI can help get it done and get it done faster, said Jennifer Palka, who was Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer in President Barack Obama's second term.
	Sahil Lavinjia, former Dog staffer who pushed the Department of Veterans Affairs to use AI to identify potentially wasteful spending, said government should aggressively deploy the technology becoming so prevalent elsewhere.
	Government processes are efficient today, he said, but could be made more efficient with AI.
	That's how you know he's lying.
	They're efficient today.
	Suck up.
	Yeah, we all know how efficient the government is.
	Lavinjia argued no task should be off limits for experimentation, especially in war.
	That's right, just release these things onto the battlefield.
	See how they function.
	Who cares if they get it wrong?
	Who cares if they identify, I don't know, let's say a school full of children as enemy combatants and we flatten it.
	That's the price you pay, baby.
	You gotta be someone's gotta take these risks.
	Somebody's gotta be the first to use AI and figure out how it works.
	How to most effectively utilize it and the little problems it has.
	So who cares what consequences there might be?
	It's the cost of doing business.
	I don't trust humans with life and death tasks, he said, echoing a maximalist view of AI's potential heard by some, shared by some dog staffers.
	I'll be perfectly honest, I don't trust this guy with life and death tasks.
	I don't trust him at all.
	We're just going to roll out the AI, put it in the battlefield, see how it does.
	Who cares?
	It's probably pretty good, but somebody's got to do the testing.
	We've got to figure out how best to utilize it.
	The Pentagon is charging ahead with artificial intelligence this year.
	The number of military and civilian personnel using NGA MAVE, one of the Pentagon's core AI programs, has more than doubled since January.
	That's right.
	It's spreading and it's spreading quickly.
	The system launched in 2017 processes imagery from satellites, drones, and other sources to detect and identify potential targets for humans to assess.
	So right now, they've got some humans assessing the images.
	The AI goes through and looks around at it and says, I think this is that.
	And they have a human look at it and go, you're either wrong or you're right.
	They want to get rid of that human.
	They want to make sure that this thing is just running fully autonomously eventually.
	Sooner rather than later.
	The AI is going to be given control.
	Yeah, launch the drone.
	I'm pretty sure I detected this guy that we're looking for.
	There's a picture that circles around of an old, I believe it was IBM notification that a computer can never make a management decision because a computer can never be held accountable for its actions.
	So they're not just asking for management decisions, but kill decisions for something that can never be held accountable.
	That's right.
	We're going to put the mainframe on trial.
	How do you plead?
	We're going to unplug you.
	You've committed war crimes.
	Oops.
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry, Dave.
	I'm afraid I can't do that.
	NGA Maven is being expanded.
	Whitworth said to interpret data such as audio and text in conjunction with imagery, offering commanders a live map of military operations.
	The aim is to help it better distinguish combatants from non-combatants and enemies from allies, and for units using NGA Maven to be able to make 1,000 accurate decisions about potential targets within an hour.
	Spending on its AI drive under Trump will give high-tech companies like data mining firm Palantir a larger role in American military power.
	And our old friends, Palantir, being tied in more closely with the U.S. military.
	Isn't it wonderful?
	Isn't it special?
	In May, the Defense Department announced it was more than doubling its planned spending on a core AI system that is part of NGA MAVEN called MAVEN Smart System, allocating an additional $795 million.
	The software provided by Palantir analyzes sensor data to help soldiers identify targets and commanders to approve strikes.
	It has been used for planning logistics to support deployed troops.
	The Federal Aviation Administration is testing whether AI software can reliably aid human air traffic controllers.
	Testing Perhaps.
	Yeah, sure, go here, go there.
	Just don't hallucinate, please.
	Due in part to ongoing staff shortages in air traffic control, the agency's AI plans include planning for less people, the person said.
	We're short staffed, so we need AI.
	Other uses for AI being explored at the FAA include analyzing air traffic or crash data and predicting when aircraft are likely to need maintenance, the person said.
	You know, there's an easy way to determine if an aircraft needs maintenance.
	You have the maintenance guys go around and check, do visual assessments.
	You know, check the oil and all kinds of things.
	I mean, somehow they've been keeping them in the air without AI.
	No, why do that when you can just have the AI speculate?
	Oh, I think probably this plane will be due for maintenance here sooner or later.
	The FAA is now exploring how AI can improve safety.
	That's right.
	How can it improve safety?
	The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office wants to test whether part of the job of patent examiners, review patent applications to determine their validity, can be replaced by AI.
	They're rolling it out across all different kinds of fields.
	It's going to supplant a lot of jobs.
	The agency employees said AI could have an expansive role at the USPTO.
	That's right.
	It's coming to a job near you.
	This is about airport security screening.
	TSA began rolling out facial recognition cameras to check IDs in 2022, a program now live in more than 200 airports nationwide.
	More U.S. airports are using facial recognition.
	The Transportation Security Administration says it plans to use facial recognition to automate ID checks.
	More than 400 airports over the coming years.
	That's right, facial scanning.
	Just let us scan you.
	The Internal Revenue Service has an AI program to help employees query its internal manual, in addition to chatbots for a variety of internal uses, but the agency is now looking to offload more significant tasks to AI tools.
	IRS is going to be fully automated in the future.
	Once the new administration took over with a mandate from Dog that targeted the IRS, the agency examined the feasibility of deploying AI to manage tax audits.
	As Lance said, the AI is going to hallucinate something and audit you for it.
	The end game is to have one IT, HR, etc.
	for Treasury and get AI to do everything.
	It's consolidation, the congealing of everything into one super state.
	The IRS has used AI for business functions, including operational efficiency, fraud detection, and taxpayer services for a long time, a Treasury Department spokeswoman said in a statement.
	Treasury CIO Sam Korkos is implementing the Folsom IRS monetization plan that taxpayers have deserved for over three decades.
	That's right.
	We deserve it.
	And it's a personal annoyance of mine how bad the copyright system is and how the major corporations can get around just using it however they want.
	But this isn't going to stop that because there will still be a human to tip things in the favor of the people with the deep pockets.
	But what this is going to do is make it much worse for everyone else.
	Yeah.
	We've got some comments here.
	Doug Da 007.
	Sadly, there's a man in Japan who married his favorite anime character.
	Yeah.
	Japan's...
	You know, I think once you've been nuked twice, perhaps something goes a bit strange and screwy with your culture.
	I like anime.
	I think there's some of it that's really entertaining.
	However, Japanese culture is very strange.
	To the store, maybe I can give an itemized invoice of what they spend my money on.
	That's right.
	Query the IRS to audit the federal government itself.
	KWD68, huge amounts of water and power needed for AI.
	With AI running the utilities, guess who gets first dibs?
	That's right.
	Sorry, you're going to have to ration your water and power.
	The government's AI has to run continually.
	Knights of the Storm, we can do away with SWAT and move to the swarm model.
	That's right, why send people to kick in your door when they can just bombard your house with drones?
	Reminds me always makes me think of that scene from Minority Report, where they send out the little drones to scan the irises of people to see who they are.
	See if they are who they say they are.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Gaza is the proving ground for their AI rubber stamping murder drones coming to an area near you.
	Birdhouse Blues, are we going to see and hear from David Knight again?
	Any official update, Birdhouse?
	You will absolutely see David Knight again soon.
	He wanted to do the interview this week, but it didn't end up working out.
	We couldn't get the schedule synced up with who he wants to talk to.
	So it's not going to be this week, but we think we've got it nailed down for next week.
	So I want to say you will almost definitely get more new Dave.
	You will get some new David Knight next week.
	And you can look forward to that.
	I know I am.
	So again, please keep him in your prayers.
	Pray that he is healed fully and he is brought back to the show.
	Or once he is ready to go, we'll have to shift the studio around a little bit and it's going to be a lot of work.
	Setting this thing up was a bit of a hassle and tearing it down and resetting it up is going to be an even bigger one.
	But please keep him in your prayers.
	But yes, more new David Knight soon.
	He'll be back.
	And we all think it can't be soon enough.
	I know you're all extremely excited to have him back.
	I know I am too.
	We're going to take a quick break before we continue with the AI talk.
	I need some water and a break from the insanity.
	Stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	But 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.
	Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.

	That's for the third hour.
	That's for later.
	It's here: The Externalization of the Agentic State.
	It is by Patrick Wood.
	Of course, agentic means capable of independent thought or action, capable of looking at and achieving goals.
	Once an AI LLM model can create a single autonomous agent, it can create millions or billions.
	There is no limit except for the compute capacity of the ginormous data centers being constructed all over the country.
	Humans can create agents, but so can the AI itself.
	Imagine a swarm of AI agents created by an algorithm to make your life miserable, never giving up, ever expanding, ever intrusive.
	That's right.
	The IRS, a LLM, going in and creating a billion different little agents on multiple different parameters to simply harass you, to audit every last little thing you've ever done.
	In October last year, World Economic Forum opened the Global Government Technology Center, GGTC.
	At GovTech campus Deutschland in Berthen in Berlin with the mission to accelerate the digital transformation of government together with founding partner French IT consultant Cap Gemini.
	The latter is an aspiring global leader in agentic AI-powered intelligent operations.
	The initiative is a part of WEF's network Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the ongoing technocratic world revolution, and fulfills G20's goal of developing a digital public infrastructure to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals, an initiative launched during India's presidency in 2023.
	Why they chose Berlin, a city with such troublesome history regarding government totalitarian control, one can only speculate.
	That's right.
	Mecca Hitler will finally have his true seat of power in Berlin.
	But it is fitting.
	The Global Government Technology Center recently released a white paper called The Agentic State, which outlines a vision for an AI-governed future.
	The Agentic State signifies a fundamental shift in governance where AI systems can perceive, reason, and act with minimal human intervention to deliver public value.
	The Agentic State, how Agentic AI will revamp ten functional layers of government and public administration.
	The choice of title is quite revealing.
	One, the agentic state theory coined by psychologist Stanley Milgram after his famous conformity test states that the essence of obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view themselves as the instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, and they therefore no longer see themselves as responsible for their actions.
	Once this critical shift of viewpoint has occurred in the person, all of the essential features of obedience follow.
	Well, I'm just doing the bidding of this guy.
	I'm just following his orders.
	I'm simply here to do what this guy wants.
	Hey, it's not me.
	Given free will, if I had a choice, I wouldn't do this to you, but, you know, sadly, he told me to, and I gotta do what he says.
	According to the International Organization for Standardization, an AI agent can be broadly defined as an entity that senses percepts, sound, text, image pressure, etc.
	using sensors and responds using effectors to its environment.
	The Technocratic Manual describes ten functional layers of government ordered in three dimensions operations, service and delivery, internal workflows, data governance, management and operations, regulation and governance, crisis response and resilience, compliance and reporting, policy and rulemaking, leadership, workforce and culture, tech stack, and public procurement.
	Of these, the chapters on crisis response and compliance are of utmost importance in understanding the diabolical nature of this new governance regime.
	Diabolical, you know, sort of satanic.
	The white paper concludes that our world isn't prepared or equipped for a world of cascading geopolitical, technological, environmental, and social shocks, a phenomenon that is labeled as a polycrisis.
	This polycrisis scenario is essentially what actors like Climate Czar and frequent WF attendee Joe Handel Rockstrom constantly has warned about, as described in the paper.
	We are in an era increasingly characterized by polycrisis, interconnected, and cascading shocks ranging from pandemics and extreme weather events to cyber-physical attacks, financial instability, disinformation campaigns, and even conventional warfare.
	Traditional crisis management models are under strain.
	Threat actors are already adapting with AI that can automate, scale, and personalize attacks at unprecedented speed.
	Governments, by contrast, are often still operating with institutional reflexes shaped for a slower, more linear world.
	But this can be countered with the deployment of intelligent systems.
	Agentic government means equipping the state with intelligent systems that can anticipate, respond, and adapt across the entire crisis life cycle, from prevention and preparedness to response, recovery, and continuous learning.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	They'll be able to more quickly adapt to when the propaganda stops working.
	Huh.
	It takes the government a little bit of time to figure out that people aren't actually buying the COVID lies anymore.
	Imagine if they had an AI specifically set up and dedicated to analyzing that and learning how to best tweak the propaganda on the fly.
	What messaging is going to work best?
	How can they keep people engaged and fearful?
	Won't that be wonderful?
	Part of this is simulation infrastructure with the claimed ability to predict the future.
	Everything we do will be analyzed and simulated with the help of virtual twins.
	Agentic models can continuously simulate crisis scenarios across domains, producing synthetic data sets that reveal systemic fragilities.
	More than stress tests, these simulations become a generative foresight mechanism.
	If a problem is detected, this could trigger a hyper-aware AI-orchestrated first response.
	That's right, A hyper-aware AI-orchestrated first response.
	Hopefully, it doesn't hallucinate anything and dispatch a response directly to your door or to your town.
	We have detected something here.
	We're launching the FEMA bots.
	Do not resist.
	When a crisis begins to unfold, AI initiates the first steps in crisis response before human in the loop structures have time to react.
	These AI agents will work alongside increasingly autonomous physical systems such as drones and robots, forming the backbone of a responsive, adaptive, crisis infrastructure.
	I'm sure the AI is going to be so much faster, more efficient, better at responding to things.
	This is starting to border on science fiction dystopia, just like Skynet in the Terminator.
	The machines will take the first step in order to solve the crisis, while predetermined protocols will ensure cohesive and coordinated crisis management.
	Again, I can visually, I can imagine the scenario where they give it, well, you know, we have this town that lives in a floodplain.
	We have this issue where they continually flood.
	What's the best scenario?
	How do we protect these people?
	Well, you bring the drones in and you force them out of their homes and force them to relocate, because there is no scenario where you can effectively protect these people in a crisis.
	You simply have to get them out of harm's way by whatever means necessary.
	Who cares?
	Bring the robots in and march them off.
	AI is very...
	If AI agents can issue fines or trigger legal action in real time, what safeguards are needed to prevent runaway enforcement or unjust penalties?
	What role should human oversight play in preserving legitimacy?
	But this comes without the obvious conclusion of shutting down this totalitarian nightmare before it runs amok.
	A world with agentic AI in charge will lead to dramatic change in how we are governed.
	While it's currently static code written once and amended rarely can develop into a far more dynamic living system, continuously interpreted, tested, and refined by agents operating within clearly defined public mandates.
	So we're going to have the AI continually scanning, rescanning, seeing what kind of loopholes there are, how we can potentially twist these things to our needs.
	The front porch media AI is truly the end of privacy.
	Every living, every living, Don't frag me, bro.
	That is very generous.
	Thank you very much.
	It says, take DK out to dinner for a big steak, potato, and salad.
	You got it.
	We'll have to do that.
	We do need to get out and do more family things.
	We have all been so busy.
	We rarely get to...
	Don't frag me, bro.
	CCP is just the pilot program government they want for the world under their 24-7 full-spectrum social credit scoring.
	Vax Passport Biometric Digital ID surveillance system called Skynet.
	Pezzo Vante 1776.
	AI can take down the Freedom Tower in NYC and have five lewd anime girls dancing on the rooftop as it happens.
	The false flags are going to get real strange in the future.
	The government hacked my anime waifu.
	Knights of the Storm, let's put facial.
	Elon Musk was saying how he's trying to make his AI safe for everyone.
	However, I have already seen a video of his anime girl waifu thing cheerfully explaining how to make some sort of chemical weapon.
	This is a brief clip from it.
	Oh, husband son, if you wish to make mustard gas, you must mix these chemicals.
	Knights of the storm, let's put facial recognition in the Capitol building so it can tell when politicians are high.
	That's right.
	Tell when they're on some kind of medication for one of their many debilitating age-related illnesses.
	Remember, my dad has talked about this story before, but the pharmacy that serves Congress and all these other places, all these other politicians, is one specific little place in DC.
	And they said the number of, you know, Alzheimer's-related medications or things of that nature that these people are on was truly mind-boggling.
	These people are out to lunch.
	They stay in power until the very last moment.
	They will die, for all intents and purposes, and then have to be removed.
	Defy Tyrant 1776.
	Trump supporters are convinced that he made government smaller through Dog.
	They have no idea that he fired lots of people and replaced them with AI.
	Just changing it, not making it smaller.
	That's right.
	He didn't.
	He's maximizing efficiency to maximize government.
	You don't need real people in the driver's seat anymore.
	You can just let the AI do the work and it will be far, far more efficient in much worse ways.
	Again, I don't understand why they want the government to be efficient at this point.
	We don't want that right now.
	If they're able to actually get it back under control, if they're able to shrink it in certain instances, yes, sure.
	If we were able to get back to what the founding fathers intended, yeah, make it efficient.
	Make it run smoothly.
	But until then, no, keep the bureaucracy in place.
	It's the only thing protecting us.
	It's the inefficiency built into the system, how incompetent these people are.
	That's our one protection at the moment.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	AI equals algocracy.
	Government by algorithm equals no chance of a human on the other side having compassion for your situation.
	Yeah.
	I've harped on that quite a lot.
	I feel like to the point where some people are probably sick of hearing me say it.
	But if there is no human on the other end, there is no chance of getting mercy.
	Just a ruthless adherence to whatever rules they are designed to follow.
	The front porch media, How will AI lies be detected?
	You know, that's a question for once they've got it in place.
	Once someone has gotten caught in the gears and has set a dreadful precedent, then they'll look at it and go, ooh, yeah, this probably shouldn't happen again.
	There should probably be some way to detect when this thing is hallucinating or lying about something, huh?
	Huh?
	Well, or once the first few thousand people that that happens to.
	Yeah.
	Once, you know, they've been ground into mulch by this horrific system they're putting into place.
	They'll look at it and go, huh, yeah, the people aren't happy about this.
	Wait a minute.
	What do you mean we put this family man in Guantanamo Bay because the AI said he was somehow a terrorist?
	Be my Valentine.
	The drones are coming.
	The drones are coming.
	That's right.
	We're all Paul Revere.
	We're all letting the people know.
	Sadly, most of them are like, oh, wow, isn't that neat?
	Isn't that cool?
	Great.
	Sweet.
	Be like Paul Revere driving through, yelling, the British are coming.
	And everyone comes out and starts singing, God Save the King.
	Or whatever.
	As funny as it may be, you see those videos of the drones hunting people down in Ukraine.
	It's pretty horrific.
	Yeah.
	Again, just right now, a lot of the drones are human-piloted.
	And just thinking, I mean, it's, of course, most horrific for the person being killed by the drone.
	The fact that, you know, your last moments, you just are trying to run from this, what you know is just a bomb with propellers.
	But also for the people piloting it, the last thing you see of this person is just their screaming face as you pilot the drone directly towards them.
	That's going to have severe impacts on the psychology of an individual.
	And who knows what that's going to do to them.
	It's truly horrifying and terrifying to think about.
	Just again, you are getting so close, the video feed directly.
	You're trying to pilot it directly into the man's head.
	And you're going to see that guy's face right before the feed goes down.
	And you know, without a shadow of a doubt, what happened?
	Don't frag me, bro.
	AI governed drones with murder parameters.
	We are already seeing the drone war's progress in Ukraine and Gaza.
	That's right.
	Murder parameters for murder bots.
	The problem with the Internet of Things by James Alexander on the Daily.
	Skeptic?
	Be my Valentine.
	Efficient evil.
	That's right.
	I know I said this before, but efficiency is more an enemy of beauty and goodness than anything else.
	You can convince people that, hey, we need to knock down this or that, pave over this beautiful landscape, because we need to be a bit more efficient.
	It'll maximize profits.
	It'll do this.
	We can more quickly get from here to there.
	There are innumerable efficient reasons to do things.
	To pave over the world so that Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk can make a little bit more money.
	It's efficient.
	Efficiency is not the be-all and end-all.
	B.L. Houghton, what jobs should humans prepare for in the future?
	You've got me there.
	I have no clue.
	The future is a little bleak.
	We've told people, we even have a clip about it here where they said, you know, we've told people to learn to code, but it looks like AI is going to be taking that job as well.
	There's always, you know, the AI, whatever jobs it can do, it cannot raise your children.
	It cannot be a good husband, father, wife, and mother.
	So there's always that.
	I can't give you any advice on what jobs in the future are going to be future-proof.
	But I'm sure someone has some ideas somewhere.
	In the short term, probably things like welding and plumbing and all those more hands-on technical skills where they need it to maintain infrastructure and turning it over to a robot is going to be, you know, it'll cause major problems for them if the robot doesn't function properly.
	Those ones in the short term before the robots become, you know, efficient 99.99999% of the time.
	We actually...
	Why don't I actually play you the video talking about coding?
	If I can tell kids for 15 years to code.
	Learn to code, we said.
	Yeah, well, AI is coming for the coders.
	They're not coming for the welders.
	They're not coming for the plumbers.
	They're not coming for the steam fitters or the pipe fitters or the HVAC.
	They're not coming for the electricians.
	You know, that ideas festival I was telling you about in Aspen, I sat there and listened to Larry Fink say, we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years.
	Not hyperbole.
	This is me being the alarmist again.
	There's not a week that goes by in my humble little foundation.
	It's called Microworks, shameless plug.
	We award work ethic scholarships every year, right, to kids who want to learn a skill that's in demand.
	These are trade schools.
	Not a week goes by where I don't get a phone call from somebody like the Blue Forge Alliance who oversets.
	That's the gist of it.
	The technical trade skills are still valuable, and they will be for a while to come.
	AI doesn't have the ability to do them yet.
	But I do think given enough time and advancements in robotics, those jobs will too be on the chopping block.
	It's simply a matter of time.
	And at that point, the society will need to fully reassess what happens.
	But I saw a comment.
	I think it was from Trucker Chris for the wind talking about how they actually make tractors with AI.
	Yeah, we actually are going to talk about that as well.
	The problem with the Internet of Things.
	Oh, nice to the storm.
	What's happening is that everything is being consolidated under the executive and automated.
	That's right.
	The continual consolidation of power directly under the head of state.
	Why even bother with Congress?
	Why not just let the AI sort out what the public needs?
	Have it write the laws.
	Nights of the Storm.
	One if by Sky Drone, two if by robot dog swarm.
	That's right.
	Bark, bark.
	They're at the door.
	The Internet of Things is the invention of the blue sky dullards of around 10 years ago.
	I found a remarkable and depressing document published by the World Economic Forum in 2015 entitled Industrial Internet of Things in Collaboration with Accenture.
	Man, 2015, doesn't that seem almost like a lifetime ago?
	That seems like when things really started to accelerate.
	Things started to get crazy much faster.
	We were still, you know, we had been dealing with these issues, but they really took off after 2016, 2015.
	Accenture, who?
	Who?
	One of those evil corporations that's hired all the clever undergraduates on graduation.
	WF's tagline on this document is committed to improving the state of the world.
	Nice bit of trickery with language there.
	Yeah, world state, global governance.
	State of the world, world state.
	Notice how the world state hides in plain sight.
	WF did not claim to invent the term the Internet of Things, but it was terribly excited about it.
	It will bring unprecedented opportunities.
	But hang on, what is this thing, the Internet of Things?
	Here's a definition from page 3.
	And of course, I expect all of you in the audience already know the Internet of Things.
	Technological change, which will combine the global reach of the Internet with a new ability to directly control the physical world, including the machines, factories, and infrastructure that define the modern landscape.
	That's right.
	We're going to hook our fridge up to the internet so it can tell us when exactly we need more milk.
	Also, by the way, if you've consumed too many calories today, the fridge is going into lockdown mode.
	Sorry, you've exceeded your caloric intake.
	I can't let you have any more.
	You need to cut down.
	Remember, we're in an austere time.
	This, you know, I'm joking.
	It's a bit of an absurdity, but I don't see that as something that's too far-fetched.
	I don't see that as something they wouldn't do.
	Knights of the Storm, they train AI to believe that humans are destroying the Earth and then put it in charge what could possibly go wrong.
	That's right.
	I've come to a conclusion, Mr. Anderson.
	You're a virus.
	Little Ford Schoolhouse.
	My husband is a welder and they just got two robot welders to save time, but most of the time they don't work right and cause major backups in production when they have a glitch.
	That's right.
	Robots are coming for the welding.
	Like I said, you know, technology isn't quite there yet.
	It's going to cause problems.
	It's going to cause issues like Little Ford Schoolhouse is pointing out.
	It's causing backups.
	But this is sort of like a beta test.
	They have to know where it fails and how it fails so they can make it better and more efficient in future.
	So it's coming even for the welding jobs and it's already started.
	Knights of the Storm, the factory I worked at before the Army had robot paint machines.
	They still had a tech, but they just watched.
	Just sit around and make sure it doesn't do anything too screwy.
	Make sure that it gets the job done mostly right.
	In short, massive volumes of data, improved operational efficiency, collaboration between humans and machines.
	It is a cross between Open AI, Amazon, and Siri.
	Then, and of course, ornamented by the Chinese social credit system.
	Results, says the WF, in an outcome economy.
	Ever heard of that?
	There will no longer be products, it boldly claims, only outcome-based services that deliver measurable results to customers.
	In order to get whatever this means in practice, they say we need more cybersecurity.
	That's right, we need more cybersecurity.
	Call the cyber police.
	And above all, more interoperability.
	Yes, indeed, industries, government, academia need to collaborate.
	He says, oh, they do, do they?
	And I feel the same way.
	Why?
	Why?
	Please don't.
	I'd rather you didn't.
	I'd rather you all stayed isolated.
	I don't like it when you guys work together.
	It leads to terrible things.
	I'd rather have each individual totalitarian infrastructure be individualized rather than turned into one giant overarching mesh.
	Stealth Patriot, in my best Chris Farley voice interviewing Q. Remember when you said that Trump locked the country down to arrest the pedos, but protected them instead?
	That was awesome.
	Yeah.
	Trust the plan.
	Trust the plan.
	all going according to plan.
	The problem is, it probably...
	This was the plan all along.
	Q just sold them on something else.
	That's what's so that's what I've always found so darkly humorous about people who say trust the plan.
	It's like, oh, the plan is working.
	It truly is.
	It's just not the plan you believe in.
	Possum King AI will make your lab-grown petri dish foods.
	Yes, it'll be wonderful.
	The AI will run the plant that produces the tumor burgers.
	They'll ship it directly to a fully automated slop dispenser of your choice, where the AI anime girl will take your order and then dispense it to you.
	I can't wait for AI to get my order wrong instead of people.
	The pamphlet is strewn with hopeful draws from various CEOs.
	Internet of Things is a ground zero for a new phase of global transformation and a Bit literally, Internet of Things is everything that has been promised to be.
	And it gives examples, which all seem to involve sensors, so that we can tell if a valve is failing, or a dam breaking, or an elevator beginning to create.
	One mention is made of Oakland, California, where ShotSpotter apparently used microphones to locate gunshots.
	Haha.
	We are told, remember, this is as early as 2015, that Monsanto, that innocent and benevolent corporation, has mapped all 25 million farming fields in America to understand which seeds will grow best.
	Why er, Monsanto's, of course.
	Isn't that just wonderful for them?
	I saw a billboard that absolutely blew my mind on my last road trip down to Texas so we could visit my wife's family.
	We had been driving for about, you know, two, maybe three hours, and off to the side I see this big billboard and it says, stand up for glyphosate.
	Stand up.
	Make your voice heard.
	Tell them you want more glyphosate.
	And it is just the levels of propaganda are insane.
	Convincing these people to, trying to convince people to go out and say, yes, we need more glyphosate.
	We want more glyphosate.
	Put that on the plants.
	It blew my mind.
	I thought I'd slipped through a crack in reality or something.
	Stand up for glyphosate, folks.
	We need it.
	We want it.
	Can't live without it.
	Gotta have it.
	Don't frag me, bro, that people are using AI means they are allowing themselves to submit to the ELISA effect.
	There are already cases of people becoming delusional from using AI, convincing them they are godlike.
	The ELISA effect, how a chatbot convinced people it was real way back in the 1960s.
	That's right.
	We've talked about it, but these chatbots are driving people nuts.
	And people do humanize everything.
	Like, he's got an example of a chat bot convincing people back in the 60s.
	People will humanize their toasters.
	You know, you'll get angry and yell at your coffee maker.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I forget where it was.
	There was a joke somewhere where somebody slapped googly eyes on a toaster.
	We're just like, yeah, try not anthropomorphizing it now or something like that.
	Humans want to relate to things, whether it's other people or the products they use in their everyday life, the things they interact with regularly.
	They will, you know, or at least a lot of people will start talking to them as if they have actual personalities, as if they can hear it.
	And this stuff like the waifu bot from Musk is really, really exploiting that.
	Yeah.
	It's the ability of, as Lance pointed out, ability to anthropomorphize and identify with just about anything and the loneliness epidemic.
	You are preying on those two elements of human psychology.
	And it is truly terrifying and truly disgusting.
	This is not only the internet imperialism we have to worry about, for it first we have the internet of things, and of course we have to ask about the human side.
	I wondered about it idly and asked Google, and even though I used the dread phrase internet of man, having not yet broken through the glass ceiling of my own prejudice, I immediately found reference to all manner of second order bilge.
	The internet of everything, the internet of bodies, the internet of people, and the internet of humans.
	Apparently, the internet of humans was first coined as a phrase by Robert Viola of the European Commission in a speech in 2017.
	He offered this vision.
	Seamless interaction between the real and virtual world.
	Cooperation between man and artificial intelligent agents will shape the future, providing, for example, better health care.
	That's right.
	I'm sure RFK is salivating.
	You can have your little wearable.
	It'll talk to you in the AI waifu voice of your choice and tell you all the different health problems you've got.
	And I'll report back to government on it too.
	That was in 2017, but in 2025, things are still being sold to us.
	Only a month or two ago, an exciting article was published in the academic journal, Human-Centric Intelligent Systems by Ghazanfar Ali Softar of Bedford University and two colleagues.
	It is entitled Internet of Things to Internet of Humans, a Perception.
	I point out very reasonably that all this chunder about the Internet of Things excludes what Graham Green called the human factor.
	Internet of Things focuses mainly on the application of Internet to Things while paying little attention to human perspectives.
	Good, unfortunately, the aim of Prof Softar and his colleagues seems to be to make sure that humans are somehow nudged or persuaded to accept the Internet of Things.
	Trust will come from inclusion and engagement, privacy and security, etc.
	Yes, indeed, the IOH leverages existing IoT frameworks, integrating human-centric considerations to enhance usability, trust, and inclusivity.
	Anytime you hear the word inclusivity, it should make your hackles raise.
	It should cause your hair to stand on end.
	It's another one of those buzzwords that they use when they really want to make something terrible.
	We've got to be inclusive.
	Why?
	Why is that necessary?
	In other words, as Pink Floyd used to put it, welcome to the machine.
	KWD 68.
	After Hurricane a few years back, the Haitians wouldn't take free seed from Monsanto.
	Smarter than we are.
	They were probably hoping that they could eat some of the aid workers.
	Haitians.
	Haiti has a long history of horrifying events.
	Every single time you hear about Haiti, it's something bad happening.
	I've never once heard a good story about what's happened in Haiti.
	It's just disaster after disaster.
	I kind of feel I do feel bad for the Haitians, but also they did cannibalize a lot of people, so that makes me feel a little less bad.
	Truly.
	Fun times.
	Fun times.
	Guard Goldsmith, the TV show Red Dwarf, literally had an AI toaster.
	It was called Talkie Toaster and kept trying to convince the characters they wanted something else.
	Maybe I've never seen that, and I can only imagine what he's referring to.
	Perhaps the toaster desperately Wanted a bath time.
	You and me together.
	We can get all clean.
	Come on, buddy.
	I desperately need a cleaning.
	Take me to the bathroom and let's jump in together.
	How long before we have the elevators from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that get so fed up with just going up and down that they form a union to allow them to go side to side, but then eventually just wind up sulking in basements?
	Douglas Adams was completely hilarious, one of the funniest writers of the 20th century.
	Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was probably one of the funniest pieces ever written.
	And unfortunately, slightly prescient as we see things.
	As Lance pointed out, AI is going to start sulking wherever it goes.
	We're going to take a quick break, folks.
	When we come back, we'll continue to look at AI.
	And then we will be joined by Tony Arderburn.

	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Thank you.
	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.

	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.

	Assyrian girl, trade jobs are most safe if they require multiple skill sets and judgment calls.
	Like plumbers, electricians, etc.
	Single-skilled trades can be programmed into bots.
	Have your kids choose their trades advisedly.
	That's right.
	Even trade skills are not safe.
	The future is going to be strange.
	As Avante, 1776, mechanics charge a fortune nowadays.
	Mechanic shop rate in my small town equals $100 an hour.
	So perhaps being a mechanic is a safe job for now.
	I'm sure they're working towards automating that, but cars have gotten more and more complex, though that is, of course, assuming that they continue to let us have cars.
	They don't come in and confiscate them.
	Syrian girl, every service tradesman charges a fortune nowadays because they can.
	They have you over the barrel.
	The number of people who choose to go into trades has greatly diminished over the years.
	They programmed, they put it into the propaganda that everyone needed a college degree, that you didn't want to go into a trade, that you wanted to go work in an office somewhere, do some kind of, you know, menial office work, back and forth.
	Why would you want to work a blue-collar trade job?
	Why would you want to do that?
	AI, this is from Zero Hedge, are Americans worrying about the wrong jobs?
	The rapid adoption of AI has stirred up worry, or at least apprehension, among many workers, as it is still unknown exactly what the impacts of the technology will be.
	However, as Statista's Anna Fleck report, some of this worry could be misaligned, as new survey data from Pew Recenter Wright shows, with a gap in understanding over which jobs are most at risk, having grown between the public and AI experts.
	According to the poll conducted between August and October 2024, U.S. adults underestimate the impact of AI on jobs for lawyers and truck drivers.
	By contrast, the U.S. public was more likely than experts to think medical doctors and teachers and musicians are at risk of AI-related job cuts over the next 20 years, although half of U.S. adults and experts say there will be job loss in each of these areas.
	It's coming for all the jobs.
	This is, again, in the short term, yes, certain fields are going to be more impacted.
	It's going to hit certain places hardest.
	But in the long run, the goal is to out-mode all of us.
	No matter what we do, the AI is coming to take that job as well eventually, over a long enough timeline.
	Majority in both groups thought that AI will lead to fewer jobs for cashiers and journalists.
	You can see that graph there.
	Share of AI experts slash U.S. public who think AI will lead to fewer jobs.
	And of course, the dark bar is U.S. adults, and the AI experts is the lighter bar.
	Cashiers, both at 73.
	Truck drivers, U.S. adults is at 33 and AI experts are at 62.
	Software engineers, or journalists, they're about even 59 to 60.
	Software engineers, 48 to 50 in favor of AI experts thinking it'll impact them.
	Lawyers, U.S. adults, 23, AI experts, 38.
	Musicians, the U.S. adults, 45, experts at 35.
	Teachers, regular people, 43, and AI experts at 31.
	Medical doctors, 28 for U.S. adults, 18 for AI experts.
	And I'll be interested to see how this plays out.
	I'm curious how expert these people really are.
	It'll be interesting to see how it aligns with what actually happens.
	The musicians and teachers, those are things where, as a general rule, you want some kind of connection with the people involved.
	It's not just about the music a lot of the time.
	It's about who makes the music, the stories behind how they made the music.
	Oh yeah, no, I found this band when they were all living together in this one house in, you know, wherever they were all, you know, dirty losers that could barely afford this and that, and now they're on tour across the globe.
	People like having stories about that kind of thing, the music they listen to or the films they watch.
	They like knowing little bits of trivia about who's involved with it and that kind of thing.
	So I can see perhaps musicians and those not being as affected as some might think, but I do think it will lead to a culling of talent.
	I think certain people who might have given us great works, instead of doing it themselves, will just say, well, why would I even bother training to play an instrument when I can just put some prompts into an AI and generate a song?
	And again, teachers, parents like the people who put their kids into public school, parents, like the idea of, oh, I want to be able to know a teacher.
	It'll be a little bit hard to sell certain people on the idea of this AI avatar teaching kids instead.
	They like the idea of going in and able to meet and pretend they have some say in what goes on.
	They like seeing a friendly, smiling face there.
	The smiling face of propaganda.
	Medical doctors, personally, most of the doctors that I have met with and talked to and interacted with have done nothing but simply read a chart.
	They sent a blood sample off for analysis and it came back and they read some numbers off and say, well, the computer says this anyway.
	Personally, I don't see how that's going to be much different.
	Of course, there will be times where you actually need a physical examination and you will need someone there for now until the AI and the robots merge and it can physically bonk you with a little mallet to test your reflexes and what have you.
	Ron Elton 1, they are taking us back to feudal times.
	You will own nothing and be happy.
	Raking the muck for a living.
	I, for one, cannot wait to be a muck raker.
	Sounds like a lovely job.
	Put me out in the bog, Lord, my feudal lord, I am willing to serve.
	I have always dreamed of farming the peat bog for sustenance.
	I cannot wait.
	The survey also found that while AI experts tend to be more positive than the public about potential of AI, a majority in both groups were concerned that government regulation of AI will not go far enough.
	They're always very excited to put more restrictions on us, the everyday people.
	They love locking us down, chaining us down, making it harder and harder for us to do anything.
	But the mega corporations never seem to get that kind of treatment, do They?
	Funny how that works out.
	Yeah, I don't think they'll go far enough when it comes to restricting what AI can do.
	Pew researchers also reported that more men were optimistic about AI than women, that respondents generally agreed that men's views as well as white adults' views are most represented in AI design than other groups.
	Men like technology as a general rule.
	We find it fascinating more readily.
	Not necessarily, again, anytime you make a generalization, there's always someone that comes in, well, I know someone that, like, yes, I get it.
	You don't understand generalities.
	You're a fool, and I am not addressing you.
	Please be silent.
	But as a general rule, men are more fascinated by technology than women are.
	We like our little gadgets and gizmos and enjoy playing with the latest technology more than women do.
	So I can understand why men would be a bit more upheld.
	This is fun.
	KWD68, open the refrigerator doors, hell.
	I can't wait for someone to turn that into an AI video.
	Just arguing with your fridge over and over again.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	China already has AI judges and public defenders.
	IS The remarkable efficiency of the AI state.
	The AI lawyer comes in, and within nanoseconds, it and the judge have come to some kind of conclusion.
	Every possible permutation of every argument has been made and dismissed.
	It's from the Wall Street Journal, and as Trucker Chris was saying, there are AI integrated tractors now.
	Drones, AI, and robot pickers meet the fully autonomous farm.
	AI judge will be programmed auto-guilty.
	You are fined $1,000.
	Do not pass go.
	Do not collect $200.
	Pay the court.
	Or be sent to the gulag.
	New technologies are paving the way for farms that can run themselves with minimal human input.
	That's right.
	No human input needed.
	You just have to be able to do a little bit of maintenance, assuming they let you, but they'll probably force you to ship these off or just buy completely new ones when they break down.
	The future of the farm.
	The farmer is entirely unneeded.
	Isn't that great?
	That's right.
	I guess, you know, in the future it won't be Animal Farm.
	We'll have to remake it with Drone Farm or something like that.
	You know, some drones are more equal than others.
	At the Verton Hills of Washington State's Pelos region, Andrew Nelson's tractor hums through the wheat fields on a 7,500 acre farm.
	Inside the cab, he's not gripping the steering wheel.
	He's on a Zoom call and checking messages.
	How wonderful, how remarkably efficient How shockingly efficient.
	Isn't it great?
	A software engineer and fifth generation farmer, Nelson 41, well, this guy is a, he does it all.
	Software engineers and farms.
	Is that the vanguard of a transformation that is changing the way we grow and harvest our food?
	The tractor isn't only driving itself, its array of sensors, cameras, and analytic software is also constantly deciding where and when to spray fertilizer or whack weeds.
	Of course, we've covered, or my dad has covered, many years ago, how John Deere is utterly opposed to right to repair.
	They don't want you working on your tractor at all.
	They want you to just rent it from them permanently, even.
	We're going to push software updates.
	You're simply renting this piece of equipment from us.
	No, you can't continue to use it.
	We've pushed a new update.
	It doesn't work with that old model anymore.
	This is, again, it's in every industry.
	Farmers will be outmoded.
	There'll be one guy monitoring the drone swarm that is planting the Monsanto seeds and spraying the glyphosate all over it.
	And it's...
	We need to be able to supply ourselves with food.
	And farmers, partially because they operate on thin margins, which is, again, a problem of the American economy, were very, very quick to adopt cheap foreign labor.
	So if you think they won't jump at the chance to utilize drones instead, whatever can be used to cut cost is what many of these people will jump onto.
	Because, I mean, when it comes down to it, if someone else is able to generate a bigger profit margin than you are, if they're able to cut their costs and reduce their price, they will take your market share.
	Nights of the Storm, maintaining older cars is going to get real expensive unless you have the tools and skills to do it yourself.
	Planned obsolescence.
	Yeah.
	That's something.
	We need a web series from Angry Tiger on fixing and repairing vehicles.
	How to do it yourself.
	Some simple steps you can do to keep vehicles running longer and maintain their integrity.
	I, for one, have, you know, I can do the basic things.
	You know, change a tire, change the oil if necessary.
	But beyond that, I am stumped.
	You know, I am not the guy to call when your car breaks down.
	Papa C-Tac, maintaining older cars will really become a problem when parts aren't available.
	Not a bad idea to start printing and manufacturing parts for older vehicles that are still prevalent.
	Yeah, that actually is a good idea.
	See if you can find schematics for certain parts that are going to be necessary and 3D print them.
	Well, I've been waffling on about AI and Tony Arderburn is ready.
	So we're going to go to a quick break and when we come back, we will be joined by him.
	We're going to look at what's been going on with the economy, with tariffs, and all that fun stuff.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	MUSIC PLAYS
	MUSIC CONTINUES
	Liberty.
	It's your move.
	And now, the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	As I said, joining us now is Tony Arderburn.
	He has set up DavidKnight.gold.
	So if you would like to start getting outside of the fiat monetary system and start accumulating some gold or silver, some real money that you can hold in your hands, go to DavidKnight.gold and let Tony know you came through us.
	But thank you for joining us, Tony.
	Great to be back, Travis.
	Good to see you.
	Good to see you too.
	It's always a pleasure.
	I really enjoy our conversations.
	But I said I'd like to start with the tariffs.
	And it's just the nonsense Trump is pulling.
	It's just, well, I'm going to slap some tariffs here.
	I'm going to slap some tariffs there.
	It's, as you said during the break, nonsensical.
	He's just...
	You're going to do what I say.
	You're going to give us the deal I want.
	Unless you want to deal with tariffs.
	And the country is...
	It's just incredible that his only response to anything is simply to go about swaggering and bullying them.
	And, you know, how do you think this is going to play out?
	As I've said before, in previous years, America was the global number one superpower.
	So kind of what we said was, we were free to do as we wanted.
	But, you know, there are other nations now that have formed coalitions.
	It's not as simple as it used to be.
	No, it's not.
	And, you know, we've long departed from the philosophy of Teddy Roosevelt to speak softly and carry a big stick.
	You know, he was the first quote-unquote imperial president, but he didn't really go about conquering anything.
	He was in the Spanish-American War, but while he was president, he really didn't do anything.
	He had the great white fleet, but he talked a lot.
	And he had the bully pulpit.
	Now we fast forward to the end of the American Empire, this bloated thing that I, by the way, land that I love, I love this country.
	And it's depressing to see the trajectory that we're on right now, but there's not much we can do to stop it.
	I think, you know, as far as tariffs are concerned, and I've went over this many, many times because I'm an economic nationalist.
	I think tariffs built the United States of America and made us the manufacturing marvel of mankind.
	I never thought that I would look at something like this headline about the, you know, the tariff threats and the ones he's going, he is imposing and will impose and think, well, this is a really bad move because it has no rhyme or reason.
	And as we've seen through the Epstein files, at what point does he say, tariffs, are we still talking about that?
	You know, like, it doesn't have any sort of, there's no substance here.
	Matter of fact, it's weaponization of the dollar by other means, which is how we've gotten to the point where we are right now where the world is de-dollarizing.
	They love to sell us their wares and send things here, but nobody love, we're not beloved on the world stage.
	We're not like we were, we don't have the standing that we had in 1946.
	You know, this is long since past the time when we had 50% of the world's wealth and 5% of the world's population.
	We still have about a 5% of the world's population, but we're the world's greatest debtor nation.
	We used to be the world's greatest creditor.
	I think the metrics here, all the stuff with trade has nothing to do with trade.
	This is some sort of exercise in a shakedown tactic.
	It's, again, weaponization of the dollar.
	This is for geopolitical ends and where the interest of the American Empire, not the American Republic, lie.
	And I think that's the issue.
	That's what we're watching right now.
	From an economic standpoint, it just makes no sense.
	He's commerce and honest friendship.
	That's Thomas Jefferson.
	He's supposed to be the deal maker in chief, too.
	He's supposed to be, you know, we're supposed to be winning so much.
	We ask him to please stop.
	We beg him to stop winning.
	And I don't feel, you feel like a winner?
	I don't feel like a winner.
	And I think that there's been some rises in prices on gold and silver.
	You saw silver hit $39 on spot, but pulled back because of the same whipsawing.
	Again, there's no logic, no center of gravity to what Trump's saying.
	Like he's going to fire Jerome Powell.
	These are the reports that have come out.
	He drafts the Mitmo.
	He says, no, I have no plans on firing it.
	And we, and of course, on news of that, the prices of metals shot up.
	And the reason that they do, of course, Bitcoin had another all-time high.
	The reason that it's doing that is because if when, not if, but when Jerome Powell is dismissed as head of the Federal Reserve Bank, they're going to cut interest rates even further, which is going to create and expand the money supply, which will create inflation and loss of purchasing power, which is what Trump has stated he wanted to do.
	Yeah.
	So the yeah, I just wanted to actually have the article here from the New York Times says Trump has a draft of letter to fire the Fed chair.
	He asked Republicans if he should send it.
	So, like, it seems like it's happening fairly shortly, or at least he's threatening it.
	And again, that's another thing with Trump that it's always so hard to say.
	He will talk all these things up.
	He'll even do stunts like this where it's like, yeah, I've got the papers to fire this guy right here.
	And it seems like he will.
	And that's already causing issues, as you said.
	Things are fluctuating.
	But then he continually backs off on things as well.
	He'll talk how much about how bad these people are, how he wants to fire them, and then won't do it.
	So it's just another one of those, is he going to chicken out?
	Is he going to do it?
	Or is Jerome Powell actually going to be fired?
	It's never happened, by the way.
	Yeah.
	Not to my knowledge.
	I don't believe a sitting president has ever dismissed or attempted to dismiss the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
	I don't think that's ever happened.
	And I think it may, the blustering would lead to an embarrassment because the Federal Reserve is not beholden to the President of the United States.
	I was about to ask, do you actually think Jerome Powell would leave or do you think he'd say, actually, you can't do that.
	I don't answer to you.
	I don't work for you.
	Yeah.
	That's right.
	I think they just make it ceremonial like the president can appoint when the term is up according to their charter.
	But let's, I mean, let's be clear.
	Who runs this guy?
	At the end of the day, I mean, you either believe the creature from Jekyll Island, you understand the origin story, you know who set it up, you know what it is, and you understand that, or you think that we're draining the swamp.
	So if you're of the latter and you think that we're playing 7 million D chess at this point, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you, but I think that the President of the United States, if they exercise their power, they probably could dismiss the head of the Federal Reserve through means of the executive and the chief law enforcement officer.
	You could definitely use that as a pretext, but not in the normal circumstances.
	And I think that's pretty clear.
	Yeah.
	That was my exact question.
	How does he think he has this capability?
	Like, this is just bluster.
	Like, they don't answer to him.
	They're the ones that are sitting behind the scenes.
	He who controls the purse controls the government, controls the country.
	And just they're the ones that control the purse.
	We sign that over to them.
	They get to print the money.
	They get to make the rules.
	We've got a question here from Trucker Chris for the win.
	Thank you for the support.
	Appreciate that.
	He says, hi, Tony.
	How do I buy Bitcoin without submitting to Plaid?
	I don't know of one trading platform that doesn't make me use it.
	Submitting to Plaid, like to KYC, like know your customer?
	He says, Plaid Played P-L-A-I-D.
	I think that's what that is.
	That's a system that runs your information and so you can be cataloged.
	And that's every, like I have to go through, like I sell Bitcoin, buy and sell Bitcoin.
	I have to know my customer, and that's everybody.
	I mean, that's with gold and silver, too.
	It's some level.
	You have to, like, somebody sells me a whole bunch of stuff and, you know, I have to, I catalog who that is.
	I mean, just, that's just stupid not to, especially if you're in transparent business.
	You can buy Bitcoin peer-to-peer.
	You know, outside of that, you can trade amongst yourself for sure.
	You could do the same thing with gold and silver, but as a dealer, somebody has to know who you are.
	I would recommend just doing business with me.
	I don't make it invasive.
	I just need to know who you are if you're buying or selling from me on Bitcoin.
	I mean, I make it really easy.
	That just gets stored in my system.
	And, you know, what you do with your Bitcoin is your business.
	Yeah, that's, it's in this day and age, you're not going to find commercially, you're going to find a business.
	And I don't know, I wouldn't want to do business with somebody if I'm giving them my money and they're like, oh, I don't care if I'm breaking the law, then you might not be in the right, the best company.
	Yeah, there's not going to be a, it doesn't seem to me there's going to be a company that is going to not want your information.
	They're going to require that.
	So again, if you want to be able to purchase Bitcoin without anyone ever knowing who you are, it's going to have to be peer-to-peer.
	You're going to have to find someone to sell it to you that way.
	But hopefully that answered your question, Trucker Chris.
	Ron Helton 1 says, when the people of a nation lose their hard-earned wealth, you end up with a broken people and a dysfunctional government.
	And we're seeing that in spades now, the number of people that are just, whether you're talking about financially broken, just barely able to keep above the poverty line, you know, paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth, or the fact that people, so many people are just giving up at this point, just saying, you know, there's no point in me even really trying to work a job.
	I will do whatever the minimum is to just kind of scrape by.
	I'll give up on any of my dreams of having children or a family or having a house of my own.
	This is impossible.
	I can't beat the system.
	It is set up against me.
	And as far as it goes to dysfunctional government, it's both dysfunctional and functioning exactly as intended.
	It is...
	This is probably one of the greatest horrors ever unleashed upon humankind is the American government.
	But I want to get your opinion on inflation.
	And again, this article here, you know, inflation picks up again in June, rising at 2.7% the annual rate.
	Things are always...
	It's always around the corner.
	It's happening, and there's not much they can do at this point to prevent it.
	With the amount of money that's been printed and the way that people are moving away from the petro dollar, you know, when that happened, the American dollar is in its due for some bad times, I would say, an easy way to put it.
	Yeah, I mean, just inflation comes from the expansion of the money supply to inflate.
	And there are some other metrics that will show you how bad off you are.
	I mean, you can look at the price of food.
	That's a metric I've followed.
	I could look at the price.
	That's where you can really see the impact is in the price of sometimes you can see different things like real estate bubbles.
	And it's funny, your real estate's not worth that much more than it was 10 years ago.
	It's just the dollars lost purchasing power.
	Same thing with precious metals.
	And then you have phenomenon and things like Bitcoin.
	And there was an article up on Activist Post.
	My friend Charlie Robinson has that great website over there.
	Go check that out if you haven't seen it.
	Activist Post has an article about Bitcoin is actually taking away the price of real estate.
	It's depleting the price of real estate because younger people aren't, like you said, they're being priced out of the American dream, the so-called American dream, the house and the white picket fence and all that.
	And that's because of our currency.
	At the end of the day, it's the monetary policy and it's the fiscal irresponsibility.
	You can blame a lot of things on the dollar not being backed by anything.
	But at the end of the day, they just gave up.
	I mean, we could have gone a lot further had there been a balanced budget, even with fake money.
	I mean, you can still use just gross domestic product and the energy behind that to fake it for a good while.
	And we did.
	We did for a decent time.
	The 1990s were probably the high watermark of that time where fake money was used.
	And it was irresponsible, but it wasn't anything like grotesque like we have today.
	I mean, the debt of the U.S. in the year 2000, Travis, was $5 trillion.
	So, you know, I mean, that's a lot.
	It was staggering at the time.
	It was $5 trillion in the year 2000.
	And then by 2010, it was $10 trillion.
	So it took us, you know, from 1776 to 2000 to go 5 trillion, and then only, you know, five more years, go 10 more years to go.
	I suppose somebody in government realized, you know, once you're $5 trillion in the hole, what's another $5 trillion on top of that?
	You know, we're already, you know, we've already gone so far into the realm of absurdity.
	Might as well just start piling the trillions on.
	What does it matter?
	That's right.
	It's something about the compounding effect of that because it's like every 10 years we double it.
	So it's like from 2000 to 2010, and they went to 10 trillion.
	And then by 2020, it was another, it was 20 trillion and plus.
	And now, you know, we're even halfway through this decade and it's 36 trillion or 37, going up on 37, and we're adding a trillion every hundred days.
	So it's the cycle that we're at.
	And I think this is where the golden parachutes are being deployed and other things.
	Like those, those in the know understand that there's a great reset ahead.
	And that's why you see, I thought one of the big stories I'll be talking about on my show today, but one of the big stories out there is last year, and I was like, wow, that's a huge headline.
	You would never see it on the financial networks, though.
	And that was that Russia added silver as a strategic reserve asset.
	And I think they're going to move the market.
	I think it's not going to be the Hump family this time.
	I think it's going to be a player.
	I think it's going to be a government.
	It's going to move this market.
	That's why I think one of the sharp rises in the price of silver has come from Russia, I think, at this point, ordering physical stockpiles and showing how the papers, it's so much papered over, as I said in previous shows, supposedly for every 250 ounces of paper silver that's traded, only one ounce exists in real life.
	I mean, it could be that bad.
	Certainly gold's been manipulated like that, but there is, you know, the prices of these commodities in the face of what's happening to the dollar is astonishing.
	And we're just at the beginning of that.
	So those in the know, I think, understand this.
	And the game that's being played right now is a game of acquisition.
	It's acquiring assets, not starting a panic, letting the wheels, everything just run out.
	That may be what the whole point of just this tariff chaos is.
	It doesn't make, it really doesn't make any sense.
	I don't see, have we gotten any deals from this that are noteworthy?
	I've not seen it.
	I remember in the first Trump presidency, he and Mike Pence supposedly called the carrier air conditioner group and said, you know, don't move.
	This is before he was sworn in.
	And he said, you know, don't move to Mexico.
	We're going to give you some deals.
	We keep people working there.
	I forget.
	It was somewhere in Middle America.
	And maybe it was Indiana.
	Maybe it was Mike Pence's backyard.
	But he took office and they still went to Mexico.
	And you can go look that story up.
	There was a big to-do on it.
	And I thought, wow, this is good.
	It's going off to a good start.
	And I'm willing to believe for a second until you prove me wrong.
	I think this is one of those times where I don't understand the economic nationalism behind this other than some other plan about the dollar and about it's kind of like Smedley Butler, the most highly decorated Marine of his time, the general, you know, wrote that book, War is a Racket.
	He said, I didn't go into South America and invade different countries to make the world safe for democracy.
	I was making it safe for the United Fruit Company.
	So at some level, it may not be about our workers here or building anything back or doing anything like that.
	It may be just further entrenching multinational corporations or something into the...
	Yeah.
	The thing is, like you said, we haven't heard any news about any deals that have been made.
	And we know that if Trump were to actually make something that he considered good for the American people, he'd be crowing about it.
	He would be non-stop saying, look at what I did, you see?
	But all he's done is threaten these tariffs and tell these companies or countries what's going to happen one way or the other.
	And then it kind of fades off.
	You don't really hear much about, well, what's going on?
	Because, well, nothing good is happening for the American people.
	It's just Trump swaggering around and bullying them.
	We've got some more comments.
	Trucker Chris, thank you again.
	Appreciate that.
	It says Platt is a third-party service that wants your bank account information so it can store it like PayPal stores your credit card info.
	Okay, so it's an intermediary type thing.
	I'm not a Bitcoin guy.
	So I don't know anything about this word stuff, but appreciate the info, Trucker.
	I don't have any info to give you on it.
	Does that make you think of anything, Tony?
	Well, I use a couple of different processors when you want to buy Bitcoin for me, but I recommend sending me a wire or sending me an ACH or something because you just have to pay credit card fees.
	We try to bypass that, make it as easy as possible.
	But no, I don't have Plaid.
	I understand there's squares.
	Plaid's another one, but I think it has to be stored.
	There's certain Bitcoin exchanges that'll do that.
	But yeah, we have a white glove server.
	We actually do it over the phone with you, like when you call.
	And you might pay a little bit more, but we make it pretty affordable.
	And I'll just send you a payment link in real time.
	So you pay, and then we just send you the transaction.
	I don't use CLAD, but I understood what he's talking about.
	I think it's just the storage of personal information.
	Yeah.
	And of course, privacy is very important.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Said if we had a strong manufacturing base, the tariffs could be a positive.
	With the weak manufacturing base we have, it is punishment.
	Yeah.
	If we were actually exporting things and people were actually buying them from us, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
	We could use it as leverage.
	However, we don't make anything here in America anymore.
	We got rid of that capability.
	We sold it out.
	We're a nation.
	I think the best.
	Well, if we were serious about any of this, we would start eliminating things like the corporate income tax and personal income tax.
	We just do away with that.
	I mean, if you really wanted to see this economy explode, and if you really wanted to see a renaissance of the American spirit and entrepreneurism, just get rid of that.
	Get rid of that regulation, all that red tape, all those thousands and thousands of man hours you had to spend trying to figure out this giant leviathan tax code.
	You can't do it.
	I mean, it's just, but you have to have a team of people if you want to try to break through that barrier.
	And that's why the richest people in the world, they don't pay income tax because they offshore stuff.
	And then they support higher taxes on people.
	It's why I just laugh at the left because they're always talking about eat the rich and tax the rich.
	I'm like, the rich fund all of your movements.
	They love what you're doing.
	And it's just lost on them.
	I'm like, they support communism, Marxism.
	This is what ESG is.
	I mean, you realize this, right?
	They can't see it.
	It's like a magic trick to them.
	And they've checked out.
	But yeah, that's how you would get, you know, I'm for a tariff, but at this point, like, you could do, you could do small tariff.
	Like you could just do, okay, we're going to do a blanket tariff across the board to, you know, pay for services.
	Again, when we do this, it's like a thought experiment, Travis.
	Nobody in Washington even understands what we just said, let alone, I mean, it's just, you know, Hollywood for ugly people at this point.
	You know, it's what it is.
	And I mentioned briefly before, my dad covered that story years ago where the pharmacist who deals with all the staff of the people in Washington said you would be terrified to know the types of medication these people are on, what these people have to take to maintain just any level of cognitive function.
	Just they're out to lunch when, you know, some of them are so old they are practically already dead.
	You know, they're just walking corpses that go in and stamp their vote on something every once in a while.
	And, you know, they have no clue what the needs of the American people are.
	It's a road to nowhere.
	I mean, it's a dead space.
	It's rubber stamping everything.
	These things are already decided.
	It's sad, but that's the way it is at this point.
	There used to be debate in Congress.
	There used to be, you know, used to be activism and all that.
	There used to be Ron Paul's.
	There's just not anymore.
	No.
	And maybe you get Thomas Massey.
	Then we get, you know, he has to be, we have to primary him.
	He's in your own party, but you have to primary him because he doesn't want to put the American people further and further so far into debt that they have to do a reset of the entire monetary system, which is what we're going to have to do.
	Yeah.
	The CBDC is coming.
	They're like, well, we've crashed the dollar.
	We've destroyed it.
	It's worthless.
	So we're going to have to change to something else here.
	This happened a couple of days ago, too, by the way.
	They had these three different crypto bills that did not pass the House, like the Genius Act and the Stablecoin Act.
	And they had the anti-CBDC Act, and every Democrat voted against the anti-CBDC, every Democrat.
	And then some Republicans dissented and said that they were going to give a thumbs up to CBDC.
	So interesting that it falls along that crypto somehow became a partisan issue, which is bizarre to me.
	I don't understand that.
	But crypto, I guess, now is a completely partisan issue.
	Bitcoin's partisan.
	And CBDC is fake partisan.
	They still didn't pass the bill for the no CBDC.
	Would you think that would be a no-brainer?
	You have a Republican-controlled House.
	But every Democrat, every Democrat voted against the ant, of course, to say no to no CBDC.
	And they said yes to CBDC.
	I'm just imagining that there's these old politicians in Congress and they say, crypto, what does Superman's dog have to do with anything?
	They're just totally out to lunch.
	No, that's not what that means anymore.
	It's something else.
	But I see that we're almost out of time and I want to make sure.
	Are you doing your show today, Tony?
	Where are people going to be able to watch you after this?
	Yes, I'll be over on Rumble and the America Unplugged channel, and my ex at Tony Artaburn will be live there.
	And it's Artiburn Radio Transmission, so 12 Eastern, 11 a.m. Central Time.
	I got about an hour for parapolitics and precious metals.
	But I got a few more minutes if you've got another story.
	I mean, I can stay on just a little bit longer.
	We have a few more comments that I'd like to get your take on is what I'd like to do, which is great.
	And of course, we will be rating Tony's stream on Rumble afterwards, so stick around and we'll pass you right along.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	It says we are not experiencing unintended consequences.
	We are experiencing a planned and a cycle of boom and bust for the purpose of destroying the middle class.
	Yeah, as so many people have pointed out, if this was simply incompetence, if this was just stupidity, eventually they've been incompetent in our favor.
	At some point, they would make a mistake that benefited the American people, but it never happens.
	You never get the story like, oh, wow, the government made a mistake and somehow all the American people got something good out of it.
	It's always, oopsie, sorry, the value of your house is less or the dollar is crashing and your tax is going up.
	And it's always those things.
	BlackRock is buying up all the houses in your community and going to turn them into low-rent housing or something like that.
	It is continually bad for the American people.
	I mean, I can't think of a single thing that has happened in my lifetime that the government did that has been worthwhile or good.
	Oh, and that's the thing is it continues to price you out of ownership.
	That's the point.
	You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
	My wife, my wife, who Tony has actually met, Tony's one of the few people who got to briefly meet her, she grew up in the Austin area and she is completely priced out of ever owning a home there.
	The type of job you have to have, the amount of money you have to make to buy a house there is ridiculous.
	And it's just like it's not worth it.
	The amount of money you have to spend for a tiny house that you can't really live in is ridiculous.
	It's absurd.
	I think the price of housing has gone up something over 200% since the 90s.
	And you look at how much the average wage has increased.
	It's maybe been 50 to 60%, I want to say.
	I'm a bit shaky on those numbers, but I'm pretty sure that's in the rough ballpark estimate.
	So it's just how can you afford the metrics?
	Yeah.
	It's the metrics of things.
	Like you used to, and I'm, again, these are just numbers that I've have free floating in my head.
	So then you have to go look them up to verify.
	But it's like it used to be an average house was like four or five times annual earnings, maybe six.
	And now it's just like 15.
	Like you can't, it's like the amount, the amount of credit, the insanity of the pricing.
	Like there's priced everybody out of these.
	And that's because you have two things happening at once.
	You have the death of a purchasing power of a currency.
	And then you have the decline of wages based off of the type of economy that you're in.
	You become a service economy in a consumption style economy.
	And then you used to be productive, used to make things, and it used to have a strong dollar and used to have a bimetallic system.
	So your purchasing power would stay intact.
	And you just divorce those two things.
	And then you get BlackRock buying giant packages of mortgages, like entire neighborhoods and things and outbidding regular people.
	And there's some affordable housing.
	I say affordable.
	There is still housing that's still in the price range for normal people, but they're in smaller towns.
	They're on the outskirts of metropolitan areas and stuff.
	And I used to be in real estate.
	I wouldn't want to do real estate anymore.
	I mean, I like what I do as far as precious metals and staying in things like Bitcoin too.
	That's real estate to me.
	That's what I'm acquiring.
	I'm looking to see what are the wealthiest people, what are they buying right now?
	What are they doing?
	And they're buying gold.
	And a lot of them, even some of the big companies, the multinationals, they're also putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet.
	They're putting things in an age of fiat where it's infinite versus finite.
	And especially in this singularity, whatever's happening, because we are in this great reset decade, which we're halfway through, there is so much happening that the mathematics and everything, all that's just coming to a head where you're going to see a real change in the global monetary system, Travis.
	And the prices of commodities are going to continue to surprise you.
	They surprise me.
	I didn't know we'd be this far along on silver.
	I think as we progress and talk this year, I think we're going to see some big things happening in the metals market still.
	Even with Bitcoin and what's going on with it, there's still just so much more to happen.
	Yeah, as you've said many times before, the rise of gold, since gold is a store of value, it's not that necessarily gold is going up, it's that the dollar is crashing.
	So since there's no bottom for the U.S. dollar, there's no top for gold.
	However far it goes down, the gold goes up, which seems like the U.S. dollar is due for a massive fall.
	We've got some more comments.
	Defy tyrants, 1776.
	Doesn't the U.S. kill any leader who wants to move away from the dollar, LOL?
	That certainly seems to have been their modus operandi in past times.
	If you didn't want to play ball, they would simply foment a color revolution.
	They'd send the CIA in and get you overthrown.
	That will just drop some democracy on you.
	What's the latest from Qaddafi?
	And there's these Middle Eastern dictators who wanted to maybe have their own regional trading currency or show that they were in charge.
	Like, no, actually, you're not in charge.
	This happened to that Saddam Hussein got permission to invade Kuwait until he didn't.
	And we had to go in there and stop.
	It was Saddam.
	And we remember it was George H.W. That was his moment.
	This aggression will not stand.
	He had to go in and take out the guy that they supported in the first place.
	It's always amazing to me that it seemed to me people didn't like George H.W. Bush, and then they voted for his son.
	It's just, how does this keep happening?
	How have we gotten political dynasties?
	We moved away from the kings and queens to get away from this exact kind of thing where these permanent power structures are in place.
	Why do we keep these same families in power?
	You know, I personally wouldn't be too far removed from a law that says, all right, you can only have one member of your family in power and it has to skip a generation.
	You've got one in this generation, the next one can't serve.
	It's got to go down the line.
	Just something to keep these rich families from continually staffing the halls of Congress and the Senate and even the presidency.
	I used to think that it was a good thing that Trump defeated Jeb exclamation point, but I'm starting to laugh.
	Please stop.
	Yeah, he spent $150 million on that campaign.
	And that was supposed to, it was, I remember a politico article.
	I'll never forget it was the author said, hey, it's going to be Hillary and Jeb.
	Just quit thinking there's going to be any different.
	I'm like, I don't know.
	The mood of the country.
	The mood of the country was different in that timeframe.
	And it's different now.
	I just think the trauma that we've been through, the ultimate grift that has just taken place over the last 10 years has been just absolutely insane.
	And that's where, you know, we're long since those times of, we don't even talk about fiscal responsibility or anything.
	think it's writings on the wall if you want to use that biblical term reminds me of Reminds me of that old saying, grift me once, shame on you.
	Griff me twice, can't get fooled again.
	Grift it again.
	That's a great clip.
	I always love that clip.
	He has no clue what he's saying.
	Just completely lie.
	Fool again.
	Defy tyrant 1776.
	All Trump's merchandise is made in China.
	I wonder what excuse Trump supporters would come up for that.
	Yeah, just who cares?
	He knows he can lie straight to their face, say whatever he wants.
	We're going to make the clothes in China.
	We're going to do what we want.
	He doesn't care.
	They don't care.
	The Patriots are in charge, and you just got to trust the plan.
	Yeah, Patriots in control.
	Angry Tiger's Den says the genius bill is set to pass.
	Fed-regulated stable coins are the beard for CBDC.
	They want the CBDC so badly.
	Being able to track and trace every one of your purchases, every single thing you do, being able to switch off your entire bank account, every last, you know, at least with the American dollar, you can store cash.
	You can take it out.
	Once they get to the CBDC, there's no, you can't do that.
	It's all resident in the cloud.
	They can simply make it evaporate.
	You have no ability to purchase anything anywhere.
	Sorry, your bank account's shut off, and therefore we know you're not going to be able to pay back your credit cards.
	Those are shut off, too.
	There's not going to be a way around it.
	No, and they'll need a crisis to precipitate that.
	So be careful.
	That's what we're looking for, is that the whole economic crisis issue with the dollar, and that may be what we're being primed for.
	Because there's no rhyme or reason economically for what we're doing unless you want it to favor a few and crash the system.
	Control demolition.
	They never want to do that.
	That doesn't sound like the government I know and fear.
	Soylent Goy says, what's the difference between monopolistic capitalism and communism?
	Well, monopolistic communism, they seem to start shooting people a lot quicker.
	They start dragging people out of their homes and lining them up and filling ditches with corpses faster than it does in capitalism.
	Capitalism, they like to keep you around so you can buy their poisoned products for a bit longer.
	They got to milk you for more dough.
	Well, the interesting part about both of those dystopias is they're funded by the same people.
	Either way, they're happy.
	If it's monopolist, it's like I win either way.
	I don't care if you guys are in gulags or in our cyberdyne systems internment camp.
	Who cares?
	I'm going to be the world's richest man either way.
	All right, Tony.
	All right.
	I see we're over time.
	Again, I apologize.
	This always happens.
	You're a lot of fun.
	You're a lot of fun to talk to.
	I appreciate you.
	Again, Tony will be live after the show.
	America Unplugged on Rumble at Tony Arderburn on X and on YouTube.
	So go check out his program.
	If you're on Rumble, we will just pass the stream over to his.
	You'll be able to stay here and be able to watch his program as well.
	We'll raid the stream.
	So thank you again, Tony.
	Really do appreciate it.
	And thank you for setting up DavidKnight.gold.
	Again, if you want gold or silver, go to davidknight.gold and that will take you to Tony where you can start accumulating money.
	Yeah, we've got a huge sale today on American Silver Eagles.
	The trade desk put out an email this morning.
	You can call or text us.
	You can go through davidknight.gold so that we know that you sent from David and give him some credit.
	But yeah, we got a huge deal on American one-ounce Silver Eagles.
	I'm beating just about everybody that I could find online by at least over a dollar coin.
	We're doing them in PAX free shipping, packs of 10 and 20.
	So hit us up for that.
	We're happy to give you a quote.
	Absolutely.
	As I said, if you want gold or silver, Tony is the man to get it from.
	Go through DavidNot.gold and get you a deal on some gold or silver.
	Thank you, Tony.
	I really do appreciate it.
	We'll talk to you again next Thursday.
	See you then.
	Thanks, Trabs.
	Thank you.
	All right, folks, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	you're listening to the david knight show Using free speech to free minds.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
	The USA is a production of the USA.
	That's right, folks.
	You can go to DavidKnight.news and get yourself a nice hoodie.
	You don't want Zelensky to have a nicer hoodie than you do, so go ahead and get one.
	This is from The Babylon B. Oh, actually, before that, we've got comments I missed from before Tony.
	Knights of the Storm, that's why they do it.
	That's what they do in Cuba.
	It's fascinating how they've been able to keep these old cars running with ingenuity.
	Yeah, I've seen pictures and videos from Cuba where they have all these beautiful cars from the 50s and 60s still running.
	And just really makes you almost envious when we're living here with all the ugly cars we have now.
	Of course, the reason for that is they were kind of forced to be able to get it.
	Yeah, I'm not envious of their situation.
	Just envious of their aesthetics when it comes to cars.
	Right to the storm, we should be grateful the 15-minute Freedom City will remove that burden of owning personal transportation.
	Isn't that lovely?
	You won't have to worry about owning a car or maintaining it, changing its oil or tires.
	The government's so thoughtful, they're just going to strip all of that nonsense from you.
	They know you don't want to have to worry about that.
	Alien poop evolution.
	Then God sends a solar flare and their AI farmers shut down and they starve.
	That's why you need to be able to feed yourself in serious situations.
	If the grid goes down or if a disaster happens, you want to be able to feed yourself, whether that's having a storable food supply of some kind or raising chickens or growing your own vegetables and fruit.
	Whatever you can do, you need to be able to do that.
	We saw a lot of problems with agriculture when these major, not quite factory farms, but the more modern version of agriculture first started.
	And we had the Dust Bowl and a lot of things as people were still figuring it out.
	In the future, we're going to have these AI robot farms that aren't just going to have to worry about soil diseases, but also computer viruses affecting crop yields.
	I'm sorry.
	The farm is down today.
	The AI waifu that runs the farm was infected by a Chinese virus.
	They make the systems more and more fragile.
	Radis Bro.
	And like I said, for why do they want amnesty for illegal farm workers when robots do the job?
	Until the robots are up and running, they want to make sure they have their cheap labor.
	They can't...
	Every single industry wants to scam the American people somehow.
	It's just great the times we live in, the people who are in power and who make the rules.
	As I said, this from the Babylon Beat, man who vowed to release Epstein files berates idiots for believing there are Epstein files.
	That's right.
	You were a dummy for thinking they were real despite the fact that I campaigned on releasing them.
	What kind of fool are you?
	Fool me won't get fooled again.
	After vowing during his campaign to release the Epstein files, President Trump berated supporters as stupid and foolish for thinking there are Epstein files.
	Just a few months ago, Trump invited several conservative influencers to the White House to receive binders for what was supposed to be phase one of releasing the Epstein files, which Trump said only total idiots Believe exists.
	It's all a hoax, and anyone who believed me about it is a total chucklehead, said Trump to reporters in the Oval Office.
	I said when I invited those morons to get the little binders, I said, look how stupid they are, thinking they're Epstein files and these binders labeled Epstein files.
	And when we said that we had the list on the Attorney General's desk, that people believed us, how stupid could they be?
	They're really dunces.
	My supporters, I'll tell you what.
	Yeah.
	We might tend to agree that his supporters are kind of dunces.
	Some of us here on the show might feel that exact same way.
	At Publishing Time, Trumpet announced that the DOJ had concluded its investigation and reported that no one named Jeffrey Epstein has ever existed.
	That's right.
	And in fact, in fact, let's take a look at this clip right here.
	Would you please state your full name?
	I'm Jeffrey Edward Epstein, and my residence address is 6100 Red Hook Boulevard in Virgin Islands.
	Have you ever been convicted of a crime?
	Yes.
	What was the crime you were convicted?
	Two counts.
	One, soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution.
	Did you, in fact, commit those acts?
	I'm going to invoke my Fifth Amendment right.
	How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution?
	Same answer.
	How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution in the state of Florida?
	Same answer.
	Have you ever solicited a minor for prostitution in the Virgin Islands?
	Same answer.
	That is a B. Yes, sir.
	Yes, Mr. Squirrel.
	Have you ever solicited for prostitution in New York?
	Same answer.
	Oh, look who it is.
	Solicitor.
	It's Donald Trump with his best buddy, Jeffrey.
	Have you ever solicited for prostitution in Paris?
	Same answer.
	Have you ever solicited a minor for prostitution anywhere at any time?
	I'm going to assert my right.
	We're going to go up for it.
	So you are terminating the definition at this time.
	What do you think?
	I'm so excited about how it's been handled.
	I don't understand why they would be so interested.
	And I don't understand why it keeps going.
	I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.
	That's right.
	Only pretty bad people would want to keep that story going.
	Anyone who is interested in this is just fake news, a bad person.
	Why on earth would you want to continue this story about Jeffrey Epstein?
	Sweep it away.
	Hand wave it.
	Nah.
	You don't want to learn about that.
	I know I campaigned on it.
	I know I promised it.
	I know I've been doing this song and dance about releasing the files.
	But hey, that showbiz, baby.
	Nothing.
	Nothing to see here.
	Move along.
	Sorry.
	Bombshell.
	Trump goes scorched earth on Jeffrey Epstein.
	Hoax and disowns past supporters who bought into this.
	BS.
	That's right.
	You were a sucker for buying it.
	How could you?
	Of course, you know, the grifter media used it as part of a way to sell you on Donald Trump once again.
	Look, look, he's going to release the Epstein files.
	He's going to show us who's really in charge.
	He's going to dismantle the deep state and reveal the powers that be.
	Did that end up happening?
	Surprise, surprise, it didn't.
	Just like it didn't in his first term.
	Just like he didn't do anything of any lasting value.
	I see some people on Twitter saying, wow, look, the guy who runs this part of the government is posting memes.
	He's posting like these other guys that are cool and fun and based.
	You think this is going bad?
	They're posting like this and you're blackpilling?
	Allow me to be clear.
	A department head posting memes on Twitter does not equal a revolution, doesn't equal a change in government.
	It just means you're easy to appease and grift.
	Yeah, until I see some real change, I don't care what kind of funny little memes the guy posts to Twitter.
	Doesn't matter.
	Sick of these people.
	President Donald Trump posted a scathing message, cutting ties with all of his supporters who were questioning his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, blaming the radical left Democrats instead of reading the room and understanding the American people, want the intelligence agency pedophile blackmail network exposed, and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
	Of course, Drudge called it a divorce.
	He's divorcing the American people.
	And perhaps the Trump supporters are getting a taste of how Trump acted with his ex-wives.
	You guys are idiots, you're fools, buffoons.
	Only bad people.
	Fake news.
	You're exactly the type of people I've spent all this time excoriating, despite the fact you voted for me.
	And I'm the one breaking my promises.
	MAGA's getting a taste of what it's like to be his scorned ex-wives.
	Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue.
	Their new scam is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein hoax.
	And my past supporters have bought into this BS.
	Hook, line, and sinker, he added.
	Past supporters.
	That's right.
	If you're not going to move past Jeffrey Epstein, if you're not going to give him a free pass, you're in the past, buddy.
	I don't want you anymore.
	And of course, this is because he's in his second term.
	He got elected.
	He did it again.
	He can't keep getting away with it.
	I mean, he literally can't because he's not going to be able to run for a third term.
	This is his final one.
	He doesn't have to pretend anymore.
	He's free to just go, yeah, you guys are not my supporters anymore.
	Cut you out of the base.
	I want to reinforce my echo chamber.
	You guys can go do whatever you want.
	I've already got what I needed from you anyway.
	The president went on to say his past supporters were tricked by the left and called the Epstein debacle a hoax.
	Tricked by the left, but it's more like they were tricked by QAnon nonsense.
	Forced, fed all these continual lines.
	That's right.
	My past supporters that voted for me to get into the office based on these lies were tricked by the left, of course, not by me.
	No, no, it couldn't be Donald Trump and his group, his ilk.
	The left tricked you into voting for me because of these Epstein files.
	Exactly.
	That's how it happened.
	I can remember it.
	I can remember Rosie O'Donnell and whoever else out there.
	You've got to vote for Donald Trump because of the Epstein files, knowing that this would happen.
	Are going to want the Epstein files, and Trump's not going to have the files, and that's what's going to break his supporter base.
	It was truly a diabolical move on their part.
	How ingenious the art of war.
	Sun Tzu, all that.
	Destroy your enemy from within.
	How could we have been so blind?
	We fell for it again.
	Curses.
	He just says so much nonsense, so much.
	Just he lies effortlessly.
	Just constantly.
	They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will.
	Even after being conned by the lunatic left for eight long years, I've had more success in six months than perhaps any president in our country's history.
	What success?
	Point it out.
	Show me.
	You were supposed to end the war in Ukraine.
	You're supposed to end the war in Gaza.
	But instead, you're shipping more munitions to Ukraine, more to Israel, and you let them go after Iran and then bombed them yourself.
	Where's the success, Donald?
	Show me.
	Point it to me.
	Can you show it to me on a map?
	Remember when his supporters were saying that he was going to end the income tax because of all these terrorists that he ended?
	Turns out, no, it was just increasing the deficit.
	Thanks.
	All these sides.
	He's going to end the income tax.
	How gullible are you?
	Fell for it again.
	You fell for it again.
	I wish I still had that in the deck.
	Thanks, Trump supporters.
	We really do appreciate all you've done for the country.
	Continuing to bash millions of people who voted for him.
	POTUS said, let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work.
	Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success because I don't want their support anymore.
	That's right.
	He's taking his presidency and he's going home.
	I don't even want to hang out with you guys anymore.
	You guys aren't cool.
	Ugh.
	Friendship is over.
	Do you think they're starting to learn?
	Think they might be catching on.
	On Tuesday, President Trump bizarrely claimed only bad people and fake news care about the deceased pedophile's child sex trafficking ring.
	That's right.
	You're bad news.
	You're bad people and fake news if you care about who the pedophile was supplying children to.
	Only weirdos care about that.
	Trucker Chris for the win.
	I'm a big fan of Mecca Hitler.
	Huge fan.
	We need to put that AI in charge of military actions.
	We're going to put Mecha Hitler in the Pentagon.
	He's done some great work.
	Some great work.
	He's one of the best, I've been told.
	One of the best.
	Infowars founder and host, Alex Jones, delivered a pair of urgent messages to Trump on Tuesday, explaining why the public is so concerned about the Epstein saga and warning the president, his legacy and great work in the White House could be overshadowed.
	That's right.
	His legacy and great work.
	His great work of rolling out the warp speed sugar water vaccinations, of course.
	That's his great work.
	What did he accomplish?
	What did he do besides get people locked up at January 6th?
	That was the most lasting impact he had on most patriots' lives, right?
	Everything else shifted, vanished, vaporized the second he left office, if there was anything to start with.
	What legacy other than poisoning millions of people is there?
	Great work in the White House.
	Sycophantic till the end.
	Great work in the White House.
	Great work in the White House, Mr. Trump, but this will overshadow your legacy.
	Alex, call it, truly, an oracle.
	Oracle.
	Huge nightmare development.
	Trump doubles down on Epstein cover up after saying he supported a new DOJ investigation earlier today.
	Why is 47 making the worst moves of his tenure in the last nine years?
	Wonder why.
	What a sh oh no.
	Could it be I've been taken advantage of?
	No, you knew what he was when you took him across the river.
	Trump's Wednesday True Social will only further energize those who are upset with the administration's lies and deceit surrounding the Epstein client list, his suicide, quote unquote, and the sex trafficking blackmail operation.
	And as I said before, Trump's not running again.
	He doesn't need MAGA anymore.
	He doesn't need you people that got him elected.
	He doesn't have to worry about it.
	He's going to take his legacy, quote unquote, and go home.
	He got what he wanted.
	He doesn't need to pretend or pander anymore.
	Trump flails his Epstein storm rages around his government.
	This is from CNN.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Again, the elephant in the room is that if there are no files, what was Ghislaine prosecuted on?
	Exactly.
	How did you lock this woman up?
	You didn't have any evidence of anything?
	Then how did you prosecute her?
	How did you get a conviction?
	Don't pay any attention to that.
	Defy Tyrants 1776.
	Trump just called his supporters stupid people.
	I wonder if they're waking up now.
	I think they're going to prove him right.
	I worry, you may be correct, Defy Tyrants.
	I worry that this is some kind of Stockholm syndrome, some kind of battered wife.
	You know, he comes home drunk and starts abusing the base, and there's like, oh, I probably deserved it.
	Maybe I am a bad person.
	Maybe I am fake news for caring about it.
	I really hope not.
	I really hope it isn't like that.
	I really hope it does start to wake people up and make them realize he was never on their side.
	Trump flails his Epstein storm, rages around his government by Stephen Collinson on CNN.
	Donald Trump rarely loses control of his own story, but the Jeffrey Epstein saga is beyond his powers to quell.
	For once he's becoming the victim of an out-of-control conspiracy.
	Yeah, of course, CNN refers to it as a conspiracy.
	Not the initiator of one.
	He looks like the insider covering up, not the ultimate outsider in deep state destroyer.
	That's because he is.
	He doesn't just appear to be it.
	He is that thing.
	If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
	I think we have a duck on our hands.
	Anyone ought to know that the government can't issue statements of reassurance and make conspiracy theories disappear?
	It's Trump.
	He spun some of the most notorious fake intrigues in the history of American politics.
	The racist fantasy about President Barack Obama's birthplace.
	The democracy quoting tale that he won the 2020 election, which helped vault him back to power in 2024.
	Again, it's not racist to point out there's a lot of questionable elements regarding Barack Obama's birthplace.
	His birth certificate being some kind of obvious forgery or something is not racist.
	The funny thing is, it's much the same reason that people doubt the Epstein tape.
	It's got some metadata from Adobe.
	One was from Photoshop, the other was from Premiere.
	Adobe.
	Maybe Adobe are the good guys.
	Maybe they're trying to leave us breadcrumbs.
	If you know where to look, you can find the Adobe signature leading the way home.
	That's right.
	And of course, the Democracy Corroding Tale that he won the 2020 election.
	I'm going to be perfectly honest and say I do think he probably actually did win the 2020 election.
	In my personal opinion, I do think it was stolen from him.
	Not that I think he would have been a better president at that time.
	Not that I think people should have voted for him.
	But I think the idea that Joe Biden won Fair and Square or Kamala Harris.
	Well, he was the one that initiated the mail-out election.
	He created the circumstances that allowed them to steal it.
	He created the perfect circumstances for mass voter fraud and then act surprised.
	How could this have happened?
	What a shocking turn of events.
	Personally, again, as I said, I think that was stolen, but he's an idiot that allowed it to happen.
	Not that I think it would have been a better time under Donald Trump than Joe Biden.
	Trump's mastery of the conspiratorial didn't help attempts to squelch the Epstein drama.
	The Justice Department last week issued a memo insisting that there was no evidence the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender kept a client list that he was murdered in prison.
	But as the president could have told Bonnie telling people there is no there there only lights the fire of conspiracy.
	You know, you know, I'll give them this, that when if someone were to say there's a conspiracy going on, if you were to go to those people and say, are you guys conspiring, they would say no, even if there is.
	You know, denial of conspiracy doesn't prove one thing or the other.
	Because if they are conspiring, they'll say no.
	And if they aren't conspiring, they'll say no.
	However, when the government routinely behaves in this fashion, is routinely shady and shifty, when Epstein continually lives a charmed life and people are told not to prosecute him because he's intelligent, when he is seen with all these high-profile, powerful people, I think it's a little bit ridiculous of CNN to say, you know, it only lights the fire of conspiracy.
	No, I think what lights the fire of conspiracy is Epstein's entire existence and the people he surrounded himself with.
	In fact, that politicians continually took the Lolita Express.
	I think that's what lit the fire of conspiracy.
	Journalists will always try to cover for everything.
	They dislike Trump.
	Not because he's, you know, going against the Constitution or destroying America, but because he doesn't kowtow and follow the exact type of leftism that they want.
	They dislike him because he's rude and says mean things, because he's not their exact brand of tyranny.
	That's why they dislike him.
	And you can always tell these people.
	That left the president in a spot, in a worse spot, Monday, as CNN reported he was increasingly frustrated about a controversy that has now gone on for almost a week and is overshadowing what the White House sees as a growing list of wins at home and abroad.
	One big question is whether Trump risks damage in his own political coalition if he can't quiet the Führer.
	The Führer.
	Gotta quiet the Führer.
	Yeah, Mecca Hitler, keep it down.
	Over the Justice Department's Epstein memo.
	Trump has for a decade been the most dynamic right-wing figure in the country.
	He's built a brand by tearing things down and crushing Washington rules.
	But even he can't end a MAGA media revolt.
	Perhaps he's entering a rocky period with a force that has long sustained him.
	And again, it doesn't matter.
	This is his second term.
	He's not running again.
	If he never gets support back from his base, it won't matter to him at all.
	He'll go back to reality TV or whatever he wants to do.
	He had his time in the sun to do as he pleased.
	He suckered him.
	He conned him.
	GOP is not a...
	Yeah.
	It's a fan club for one man, my dad said.
	It's a fan club for Donald Trump.
	But for how much longer?
	Sir, knighted.
	Digital IDs will come before CBDCs.
	Well, they're working on that.
	They're working towards all of this.
	Travis, please look into Genius Act.
	It will say if people don't follow vaccinated, their accounts will be frozen.
	It's being hidden as we are all purposely distracted by Epstein.
	We'll have to look into that.
	Yeah.
	That's the type of thing they desperately want to move towards.
	If you aren't vaccinated, then you're, sorry, not a good citizen.
	We can't have you interacting with the general public.
	That would be dangerous.
	So we're going to freeze your accounts.
	Make sure that the only place your self-driving car goes is to the clinic.
	It'll be able to scan you and see if you've accepted the vaccine.
	And if you don't, it's only going to lock you down.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Epstein was not operating without the knowledge and cooperation of the CIA.
	The CIA are the ones that told Acosta to back off.
	Yeah, it definitely seems like at minimum, Epstein was working for the CIA and Mossad.
	They are in this together, joined at the hip and doing each other's bidding.
	Back off.
	He's our guy.
	Don't ask any more questions, Acosta.
	Or might end up costing your life.
	I'm sorry, that was terrible.
	Donald Trump has a very significant hold on the Republican Party.
	And I think anybody that thinks that this is the end of Donald Trump's hold on the GOP is wrong, Kristen Soltis Anderson, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor, told Casey Hunt on the arena.
	On Monday, Still Anderson added that this flap could be more problematic for Trump than the ideological battles that he's forced on the GOP because it involves the issue of trust with his supporters and his outsider status.
	But in next year's midterm elections, when Trump won't be on the ballot, any falloff in enthusiasm among grassroots Republicans could have an impact.
	That's right.
	Might see some severely disillusioned MAGA people having no interest at all in showing up to vote.
	This could cost the Republicans big in the midterm elections, which I mean, as I've said, who cares?
	If you're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, you're arguing about whether you want people dressed in red or blue there.
	There's not any real difference between the Republicans or Democrats on any of these issues.
	And as such, who really cares who's in charge?
	Trump has returned to the issue embedded in the DNA of the MAGA movement, hardline positions on immigration, to bring the gang back.
	Except for the fact that he's considering amnesty.
	He's gone back on everything.
	Everything he's talked about.
	We're going to be hardline on immigration.
	No, sorry, maybe amnesty for people like me and my buddies, for the farmers, because they spent a lot of money lobbying.
	Trump repeats claim, Epstein files are made-up Democratic hoax.
	That's right.
	We played that video for you.
	It's just a Democrat hoax.
	I think people are being fooled, taken advantage of.
	He is desperate to move past this.
	He is absolutely desperate to get beyond this.
	Prove that he still has control.
	Pay no attention to the pedophile behind the curtain.
	Just ignore it.
	This is from The New American by Paul Dragu.
	MAGA backlash against Trump over Epstein is not going away.
	As much as the president wants the MAGA faithful to stop demanding transparency over the Jeffrey Epstein saga, there seems to be no let-up.
	One week after the Department of Justice, DOJ released a memo many find simply unbelievable.
	the MAGA backlash continues with some major influencers who campaign for Trump turning on the president.
	He has...
	People are freaking out.
	How could this happen?
	Because he was never your guy.
	He was never going to do it.
	And he doesn't have to care anymore.
	He has gotten what he wanted.
	There's nothing you can do about it either.
	What are you going to do?
	Impeach him?
	Good luck.
	They tried that.
	He's inoculated against all criticism.
	Megan Kelly says she won't be CNN of Trump 2.0 on Epstein Chaos calls on reporters to dig to the truth.
	SiriusXM's Megan Kelly said Tuesday on her podcast that she refuses to be the CNN of Trump 2.0 on the Epstein Files, adding that journalists have an obligation to not just trust politicians over it.
	Is Megan Kelly finally an honest journalist?
	I've never understood why people watched Megan Kelly.
	She's never had anything interesting to say, never had any insightful things worth listening to.
	I guess if you were into that specific type of blonde woman that Fox News always hired, if you found her attractive, that was it.
	But other than that, she was always grating and obnoxious to me.
	When people like Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly start talking about this, you know it's gone mainstream.
	Yeah.
	They can't avoid it anymore.
	They have to get out in front of it.
	I'll state for the record I have lots of friends inside the administration.
	I have nothing but respect and admiration for this president.
	Sycophant.
	Suck up.
	I have nothing but respect for this.
	Please, but, you know, please don't disown me, my viewer base.
	She's caught between a rock and a hard place.
	She wants to maintain access to the administration, but also knows that the people who watch her really want the truth about Epstein and do not believe what the government has put out.
	It's got to be a difficult time to be a grifter.
	How do I play both sides?
	You have an obligation, not to just trust, Kelly added.
	You kick the tires.
	That's your job.
	You approach all stories and everything fed to you by an administration official.
	Like them, love them, respect them, trust them or not with a hefty dose of skepticism.
	Yeah, and do the same thing with people like Megan Kelly.
	All these grifters, all these MAGA influencers.
	Be sure to approach them with skepticism as well.
	New forensic analysis reveals Epstein Prism video had nearly three minutes cut out, not just one minute at midnight, like originally reported.
	According to analysis conducted by two different forensic experts working with Wired, at least three minutes were cut from the raw Epstein prison video posted to the DOJ website last week.
	So dealing with is two separate files, three missing minutes, four what looks like four edit points and who knows how many lies.
	This is beginning to sound like a Christmas song.
	Two files, three missing minutes.
	It goes on and on.
	The ridiculousness of the story.
	Metadata from the raw Epstein prison video shows approximately two minutes and 53 seconds removed from the one of two stitched together.
	The cut starts right at the missing minute, Wired reported.
	Wired reviewed its findings with two independent video forensics experts who confirmed that the edit occurred just before the missing minute mark and that approximately three minutes of footage were cut from the original clip, the outlet reported.
	Now, of course, one minute would have been bad enough.
	That's still enough time, probably, to do what they wanted to, to get in there and silence Epstein or get him out and replace him.
	But with three minutes, three minutes is quite a long time to pull someone in or out, to obfuscate.
	It just, it's not going well for the DOJ, is it?
	Remember when they said it was taking so long because they didn't want to release anything that had four missing seconds.
	Uh-huh.
	Thanks, Cash Patel.
	Thanks, Dan Bon Gino.
	Very cool.
	How very interesting.
	This is from the Daily Caller.
	Thomas Massey says he will force the vote on releasing the Epstein files.
	Well, that's...
	But again, Thomas Massey is a man alone.
	Thomas Massey introduced a discharge petition Tuesday to force a vote in the House on the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
	Massey joined Democrat California Rep. Roe Conna in submitting a resolution known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act to bring the resolution to a vote.
	Massey's discharge petition needs a simple majority, 218 members to move forward.
	We all deserve to know what's in the Epstein files, who's implicated, and how deep this corruption goes.
	Americans were promised justice and transparency for introducing a discharge petition to force a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on releasing the complete files, Massey wrote on X. We'll see.
	I don't think that many people in government are going to go, yeah, you know, we should release those files.
	Can't wait to see my name on them, says your favorite politician.
	The bipartisan resolution calls for all documents related to Epstein to be released no later than 20 days after the date of enactment.
	The resolution says no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of any of the following embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.
	And again, that would be nice.
	I appreciate that he's putting this forward, but there's not a chance that this ever passes.
	Not a chance that this will make it.
	Ghislaine ready to testify as Trump triples down slams weakling past supporters who believe Epstein hoax.
	Maxwell is ready to spill the beans.
	According to the Daily Mail, despite the rumors Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea dill, she would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story, adding no one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows.
	She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein, and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.
	I'm sure she would love it.
	Oh yes.
	I doubt Ghislaine would actually say anything.
	You're like, oh no, there was no clients.
	We didn't do anything.
	Maxwell argues she had been protected from prosecution as part of the non-prosecution agreement made by Epstein.
	Of course, that's the sweetheart deal he got from Acosta back in the day when people came in and said, he's an intelligence asset, leave him alone.
	In 2007, when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor charges of prostitution and a sweetheart deal, which I'm spend a little time behind bars.
	Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to testify.
	How Congress handles it will speak volumes.
	The Epstein scandal isn't just another controversy.
	It's a litmus test whether truth still has a place in American politics.
	It's also an IQ test for MAGA.
	How much are you willing to take?
	How much are you willing to swallow?
	You're really still buying all this.
	You can't be.
	The question for me is, is Ghislaine Maxwell saying that she's going to name names and show evidence of a list of some kind?
	Or is she afraid?
	She says she wasn't given any kind of plea deal, and officially she wasn't, but she did get a pretty sweetheart deal for what her crimes are.
	I would imagine she'd be pretty concerned about making public any of this stuff given the kinds of people that are involved with it.
	Yeah, if I had to guess, I'd say that her lawyer probably is pretty good at his job.
	And now that they're saying there is no list, there is no evidence, we don't have anything, saying, yeah, you need to get in front of people and testify again and say, yeah, there is nothing.
	I don't know why you guys ever thought there was.
	Produce the evidence against me and get some kind of retrial or something.
	I'm not an expert on the way the court system works, but I imagine that this has been a boon for her case as well.
	Oh, Jeffrey Epstein.
	Truly, the specter that continues to haunt the American political scene.
	At this point, it's just safest to assume that every politician has some kind of skeleton in their closet that's tied to him.
	Dershowitz on Epstein, no client list, but jailers may have assisted suicide.
	Of course, this is the same guy that said he had seen the list, and he knows who's on it.
	Can't keep his story straight.
	Dorshowitz, who once represented Jeffrey Epstein, says the disgraced late billionaire did not maintain a client list or work for foreign intelligence, but may have had help killing himself.
	They just gave him a little assistance, you know, just, here you go.
	Ugh.
	Alright.
	We're going to take a real quick break.
	Let me come back.
	I've got.
	We're going to take a look at the LGBT insanity.
	What mental illness this has led to.
	Probably won't stay on it for too long if the audience can't stand it.
	It's hard to watch, but this is what this has all led to.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	As I said, we're going to take a look at this video.
	It's a case study in LGBT trans mental illness.
	And I want to preface this by saying, don't, as we're on these platforms, don't go and harass this person.
	Don't go looking for them.
	Don't go try to interact with them.
	It's not worth it.
	But it is worth looking at and understanding.
	This is what all this has led to.
	I'm also going to preface it by saying, I have cut down this video so much.
	It's about 40 minutes, 36 something.
	I've only kept in about two and a half of it.
	And that's just from the very beginning.
	This guy loves waffling on.
	Con think.
	Thank you for the support.
	Until you put that tie on, you're not going to look professional.
	Darn it.
	I'll never be a real grifter if I can't put on the tie.
	That's what I've got to do.
	Thank you, Con think.
	I appreciate it.
	So this is someone.
	This is a guy who says he's a girl.
	Goes by lead head on YouTube.
	Let's take a brief look.
	You gotta hit play.
	Would you believe me if I said that my fiancé and I had a 19-and a 20-year-old pair of kids?
	Well, it's complicated, seeing as I'm only 26.
	Found family has been a pretty prevalent theme in my videos.
	Found family.
	It takes the form of a friend group who you love as if they were a family.
	And so whatever happens to a found family member, however they grow and change, found families are supposed to stick together and support each other no matter what.
	In the same way that they wish their biological families had been capable of.
	Okay, go ahead and pause it.
	That's how sacredly I viewed.
	That's how sacredly this guy views found family, apparently.
	This guy, he loves the sound of his own voice.
	He waffles on over and over again.
	He repeats himself many times.
	And I want you to note how performative this entire thing is.
	How ridiculous it is.
	The way he's sitting.
	Oh, look, this is how a girl would sit, right?
	With my legs crossed and like that.
	Oh, and the huge sigh.
	That's how a girl talks, right?
	This is a picture of mental illness talking about how they've got two kids.
	Well, you know, not real kids.
	They're 19 and 20.
	But, you know, how can this happen?
	I'm only 26.
	Well, anything is possible when you get rid of the definition of words, when you change what they mean, and you don't subscribe to any real definition of truth.
	Let's keep going with this.
	I know it's hard to watch, believe me, I had to watch it multiple times, so I have suffered through this quite a few times, but I think it's worth seeing what the LGBT ideology leads to.
	What happens?
	what this actually leads to.
	This isn't, And there are much, much larger channels there on YouTube.
	There are people with hundreds of millions of subscribers.
	But 343,000 people that can stand this, that at least somewhat agree with this.
	If you look at the like-to-dislike ratio, again, you can't effectively actually see it really.
	They removed the ability to see dislikes.
	But there's a way you can kind of get an estimate of it.
	It is at nearly 2,000 likes and 100 and something, 190-something dislikes.
	So there's a substantial portion of people who think this is correct.
	This is good.
	Trucker Chris with the Wind says, Mental Hospital, Conthink, Barf, Little Johnny Boy, yes, Barf.
	Yes.
	This is sickness.
	This is mental illness.
	This is truly sad to see.
	And again, pray for these people.
	They need Jesus.
	I know it's easy to go on and talk about them and come off as just hateful and dismissive, but they do need Jesus.
	So let's go ahead and hit play on this again, because it only gets worse.
	The found family dynamic.
	One day, my fiancé and I, along with The two youngest in the household were in the grocery store to pick up for dinner.
	My girl and I were both in a pretty bad mood, but these two were just running around all full of energy, grabbing all the snacks and candy that they could carry.
	Look how infantilizing this person is when they describe them.
	...and had to look all around the grocery store to find us again.
	Once they finally did, the youngest, this 19-year-old boy...
	Mom and mom.
	As the weeks went on, our boy was calling us mom and mom more.
	Our boy.
	It got to the point where he felt like he was being disrespectful when he called us by our actual names, and now it's weird when I do hear him say them.
	Teaching him all sorts of life lessons about being trans, as he'd only transitioned about a month prior to even going into some sexual education stuff when that's that's right.
	I told you it only gets worse.
	This isn't an actual guy.
	This is a woman who's 19 who thinks they're her man.
	This is a house of horrors.
	This is insanity all over the place.
	And you'll hear this person go on to talk about, we'll leave it there.
	I don't want to torment you too much.
	I'll just give you a little bit of a rundown of what you could have expected.
	This person goes on to detail how, oh, yes, they were homeschooled and they didn't get much of a sexual education.
	You know, they only recently transitioned one month before I met them.
	So this girl, now a guy, now claims to be a guy, needs all the help they can get.
	How I can inform them and teach them and explain things to them.
	And yes, I really feel like this girl's mother.
	It's horrifying.
	This is what this has led to.
	It's only going to become more common.
	Defied 776.
	Thanks for playing this clip, Travis.
	It will keep me on my diet.
	You're welcome.
	I'm here to help.
	It's important to sometimes actually look at the real face of this stuff.
	This is what it leads to.
	This guy pretending to be a woman with his bangs, probably to hide his receding hairline, talking about how this 19-year-old girl who now wants to be a guy calls him and his girl, I don't know if they're trans too, mom and mom.
	And how you would hear her, hear him say, I had originally thought maybe we would be friends with benefits.
	Maybe there would be some sexual dynamic there.
	But that went away when he started calling me mom.
	She started calling me mom.
	This person, there is no part of this story that isn't sick and twisted and gross.
	Talking about how, oh, yeah, I've just been mentoring her, teaching her how to be trans.
	How this all goes.
	Isn't it wonderful I can use my experience to help her transition to a guy?
	And he's really my boy.
	She's really my boy because I taught her how to fix a flat tire or change the oil in her car or let her sleep in bed with me when she gets too nervous.
	This is a 19-year-old.
	Every time he talks about her, it's infantilizing and gross.
	This person has all kinds of issues.
	This is what this wishy-washy insanity leads to.
	There is no real truth.
	Words have no meaning.
	Motherhood is a construct.
	Women are a construct.
	If you say you're a woman, you're a woman.
	And it has no real special meaning.
	It's a costume you can put on.
	It's something you can just find yourself in.
	Found family.
	You know, and sure, maybe one minute this trans girl wanting to be a guy is someone you want to sleep with.
	The next minute, you're their mom.
	What does it matter?
	Appreciate you bearing with me for this.
	Again, don't go bully people.
	Don't go yell at them or scream at them in comments.
	It's just important to me to look at these types of things.
	This is the reality of it.
	God bless you all.
	Have a great rest of your day.
	We probably won't do too much of this ever again.
	We probably won't do too much of this ever again.
	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.
