	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it is Friday, the 18th of July, year of our Lord 2025.
	We've got another abortionist caught on camera reveling in the death of children.
	Israel has escalated the conflict in the Middle East with attacks on Syria.
	And of course, Trump continues to spiral and attack his own supporters over the Epstein cover-up.
	Stay with us.
	Good morning and welcome to the David Knight Show.
	I'm still not David Knight.
	Hasn't changed yet.
	We're still waiting to see if it happens.
	However, I am Travis Knight and I'll be your host for today.
	We have Israel escalating things in the Middle East, as they always do.
	Surprise to no one, things are getting worse as we refuse to do anything about it.
	No, we're going to continue to support them, provide them with munitions and money.
	Let's start with this from Zero Hedge.
	Huckabee condemns West Bank settlers' terrorist murder of Tampa Man.
	This was so egregious that even Huckabee had to come out and condemn it.
	This Zionist, this premier Zionist, had to come out and say, oh yeah, that wasn't good.
	Shouldn't have done that.
	In a departure from his usual role as a de facto PR agent for the state of Israel, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has condemned West Bank settlers' terrorist murder of a Florida born and raised American citizen and called on Israel to aggressively investigate.
	Now of course that's not the strongest language you could use, but aggressively investigate, that's something.
	Last week, 20-year-old Seifola Saif Musalit was visiting I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right was visiting relatives on their farms in the town of Sinjil where residents say they've been enduring a settler violence campaign for two months.
	After Friday prayers, Musalat was among dozens of Palestinians driving back to their land in Sinjil when settlers surrounded them for three hours and attacked with guns, clubs, and rocks, witnesses say.
	Three hours.
	Three hours the attack goes on for.
	Musalat was viciously beaten with sticks or clubs.
	For two hours after he was beaten, ambulances couldn't reach Mussalat as settlers roamed the area and the IDF refused to allow an ambulance to pass their roadblock.
	No, you can't send an emergency vehicle through.
	Yeah, we know someone is being attacked.
	We know someone has been beaten severely.
	Or at least in fact an ambulance is dispatched.
	They know someone is in distress.
	No, you can't get through.
	Sorry.
	Not going to happen.
	Whoever's out there is just going to have to wait and see.
	Maybe they'll die.
	Maybe it'll be one less person we have to bomb.
	According to witnesses, adhering to a typical pattern, the IDF focused its aggression on the Palestinians, firing tear gas at them.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	Our greatest ally at work.
	I prevented the ambulance and allowed the settlers to do what they do anytime they want to, Musalat's father, Kamil Musalat told CNN.
	I hold the Israeli military just as responsible as the settlers and the American government for not doing anything about this.
	He's right too.
	He understands the dynamic.
	The Israeli military bombs them, the settlers come in and beat them or shoot them, along with the IDF, of course, when they're around.
	And the American government funds it, provides the weapons, gives cover for Israel.
	Another instance of why the world hates us.
	Our foreign policy is evil.
	And we continue to support evil around the world.
	You know, why are you not telling the IDF, why are you not preventing settler terrorism?
	Settler violence and harassment against West Bank Muslims and Christians.
	And Christians, you can't forget the Jews do not like Christians.
	This whole greatest ally shtick is not very true when you look at how they treat people that have the typical American Christian ideology.
	Even the Zionist Christians are only seen as useful, not as actually true friends or allies.
	It's only a matter of how they can be exploited.
	Christians are not treated well in Israel.
	They don't view them as, as I said, friends.
	It's been a problem for decades, but it has ramped up since the October 7th, 2023 invasion of Israel by Gaza's Hamas militants, according to a UN tally.
	Almost 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by settlers or the IDF over that time span.
	In an opinion piece published earlier this month, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert condemned settler violence, saying Israel's real enemies are the violent, murderous terrorist militias that are responsible for the murder of at least 140 West Bank Palestinians this year.
	Many of the dead were children.
	And this goes to show that even among the Israeli government, or former members of the Israeli government, this isn't a monolithic bloc.
	There are people there that don't like this.
	I don't want to see this continue, that are willing to call it out.
	After the killing of Musala, American Muslims for Palestine called for President Trump to intervene.
	Will he uphold his America versus promise when it's a Palestinian American whose life was taken?
	Will he once again bow his head to Israel no matter the cost and blood?
	Well, my position is America should just get out of this.
	Get out of the feud.
	It's a very the Middle East has been a hotspot for conflict for hundreds upon hundreds of years.
	We're not going to fix it with some kind of foreign policy intervention.
	We're not going to fix it with sanctions.
	We're not going to fix it with boots on the ground.
	It's going to continue.
	We cannot really do anything to stop the conflict.
	We should simply remove ourselves from it and stop worsening things.
	Stop making things worse for the people who live there.
	If there is going to be a resolution, it has to be by the people who actually are involved.
	Lutan Milankovic, the land of Gaza is worth over a trillion dollars if you calculate it based on the same price per square foot as Tel Aviv.
	Money talks.
	Gonna continue the expansion.
	Need more land.
	Benjamin Etanyahu said so.
	South Coast Painter, this was a local story in my area.
	His family was very hardworking, entrepreneurs with an ice cream franchise in my area and in Tampa.
	His mother was still living over there.
	He was there to look out for her and her family.
	Very sad.
	How?
	It's just indiscriminate.
	They don't care.
	Oh, you happen to be in an area where the settlers decided they were going to attack.
	Doesn't matter if you're actually a resident of Gaza, you just happen to be caught in the crossfire.
	Sure, you've lived in America your entire life, but that doesn't matter to them.
	You fit the description.
	According to his family, both of Musalet's grandfathers immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s.
	Teaming up with cousins, Musalet bought a Tampa ice cream shop where the locals appreciated his generous scoops and readiness to replace dropped ones.
	Everyone who met him fell in love with him, his uncle told the Tampa Bay Times.
	I feel this is such a tragedy for the family, and it's happening over and over again day after day.
	This is, of course, hitting closer to home because he was an American.
	But this is something that happens repeatedly.
	This is happening to families just daily there.
	He was beaten to death.
	There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act.
	Saif was just 20 years old, and that's a direct quote from Mike Huckabee.
	You know it's bad when you can get the one of the premier scientists to call this out.
	To say this was terrorist and criminal.
	Now of course this may just be lip service.
	This may just be something to say in the moment while people's feelings are running hot and then move past once people have forgotten.
	Because as tragic as it is, as horrific as it is, the news cycle moves on.
	This will be a story for a bit.
	This will be something people will be upset about or remember.
	But then it'll be something that people only point to and say, whatever happened to that?
	Was anything ever done?
	Did the family ever get justice?
	And eventually even that'll stop.
	And it won't take long because of how frequently tragedies happen.
	According to the Middle East Eye, Huckabee's statement seemingly represented his first ever condemnation of settler violence.
	If you're not killing Americans, they're not going to say anything.
	Before Masalat's killing Christians had been demanding that the demonstratively religious Huckabee take action on behalf of his fellow Christians besieged by settlers in Tebe, the last 100% Christian village in the West Bank.
	Of course, Huckabee doesn't really care about the Christians in Gaza.
	This doesn't matter.
	This is not about Christian values for Huckabee.
	This is probably about maintaining a cash flow.
	People.
	I would be surprised if most of the Zionists who are actually in positions of power really, truly believe Israel has a divine right or if there's some kind of backdoor channels where they are making money and being paid to support this.
	More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Tebe, Ramallah, in the West Bank where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.
	You can see that right there.
	Church leaders there have repeatedly called out to the world for help, saying, we do not live in peace, but in daily fear and siege.
	Since last October, more than 10 families have left Tebe due to fear from ongoing violence and harassment.
	They're being driven out of their homes.
	They're being driven out of this land they have occupied for centuries upon centuries.
	In addition to setting fire to houses and vehicles, settlers are also accused of stealing farm equipment and destroying crops with fire, or by releasing settlers' cattle to devour them.
	Last week they started a fire next to the cherished 1500 year old Byzantine church of Saint George Al Qader and burned a cemetery.
	Burned a cemetery.
	These are the tactics that are being used.
	They're doing everything they can.
	Nothing is sacred to these people.
	It doesn't matter.
	Burn a cemetery, set fire to a church, destroy their food supply, whatever it takes to get these people off the land.
	That's our land.
	We're going to take it.
	We're going to use any tactic necessary to drive you off.
	It doesn't matter how despicable, how wicked.
	Huckabee, a self-described unreformed Zionist, has long taken zealously pro-Israel stances to include inducing Israelis expansionist claims to the West Bank.
	For example, in one of his many trips to Israel over the years, Huckabee in 2017 said, There's no such thing as a West Bank, it's Judea and Samaria.
	There's no such thing as a settlement.
	They're communities, their neighborhoods, their cities.
	There's no such thing as an occupation.
	Yeah.
	There's no such thing as an occupation as they're beating these people to death, as they're surrounding them and attacking them with guns and clubs.
	There's no such thing as that.
	That's not happening.
	His spotlight on Mussalet's murder may boost the odds of justice being served.
	May, I would be surprised if anything actually happens.
	At best, I would say you'll get a promise of an investigation or maybe a cursory investigation, where they make sure they don't find anything and no one is held accountable.
	It would shock me if there was any real justice that was done in this scenario.
	However, history is any guide, there's very little chance of that happening.
	According to a database maintained by human rights group Yesh Din, out of 1700 investigations into violence directed against West Bank Palestinians between 2005 and 2024, 93% of the cases were closed with no charges filed.
	In the Christian village of Tebe, Israeli settlers set fire to St. George Church and the Christian cemetery again today.
	This time they brought a leaf blower with them, intentionally using it to fan the flames and ensure the fire would spread.
	These wonderful neighbors Isn't this the kind of neighbor you would want?
	You know, well, sure, maybe you had different neighbors originally, but someone came in and threw them out and put these people in place, and now they've decided actually your house looks nice too.
	So maybe you need to leave and leave that to us.
	Three dead dozens injured after Israel bombs Catholic Church in Gaza Three people have now died after the Israeli military struck the only Catholic Church in Gaza this morning, prompting swift international outrage, including from the Pope.
	Even the globalist Pope has to come out and say, hey, stop that.
	Around 10.20 AM local time, the compound of the Holy Family Church in Gaza was hit by the Israeli army.
	The church, the sole Catholic church in Gaza, which is under the care of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, suffered damage to its structure.
	At the time of publication, three people are confirmed to have died from injuries sustained during the attack.
	The LPJ writes that a further ten were injured, including the parish priest, Father Gabrielle Romanelli.
	Two people remain in a serious condition, and one is in a critical state.
	Some images on social media shared by one user appear to show the church almost completely destroyed, however, the image appears not to be accurate, as it does not align with images shared by others present on the ground.
	Pope Leo XIV issued a telegram with notable speed saying he was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.
	He assures the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli, and the whole parish community of his spiritual closeness.
	As I've said before, the Israelis have no love for Christianity in any of its forms.
	It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or Protestant, Baptist, Reform, doesn't matter.
	They view all Christians as a general rule, as someone to be utilized simply for gain.
	Assyrian girl, exactly, Travis, we need to withdraw all support from the evil Israeli government.
	They will soon run out of weapons, and that's all that will cool down its aggression against its neighbors.
	Yeah, if you simply do not give them the weapons, they cannot be aggressive.
	They might still have the settlers out there beating people with sticks, but if they're not backed up by the IDF with bombs and tanks, I assume things might reach a more peaceful equilibrium.
	But they have us, their attack dog on a chain.
	You can't be too rough with Israel, you can't stand up too harshly against them.
	Otherwise, America comes knocking at your door.
	What did you say about Israel?
	Well, you're going to have to deal with me, partner.
	Nobody disrespects Israel on my watch.
	Some reports claimed Israeli forces said the hit was a mistake, although an official Israeli response with such detail is lacking.
	However, the Israeli foreign ministry did issue a rare public comment on the incident.
	Of course, we've seen Israel make mistakes in targeting before.
	There's the USS Liberty incident, which of course we all realize was a just a big mistake.
	It happened Accidentally.
	Sure, the ship was obviously an American ship and it was flying an American flag and the sailors were obviously American.
	But you know, mistakes happen.
	These things just kind of happen.
	It can be hard to keep track of those flags.
	I'm sure the American flag and whoever they thought it was flag looked very similar.
	Israel expresses deep sorrow over the damage to the Holy Family Church in Gaza City and over any civilian casualty.
	The IDF is examining this incident.
	Oh, well, the IDF.
	They're looking into it.
	They've got their top guys on it.
	I'm sure they'll do a thorough investigation.
	I can't wait for their findings.
	We have found that we did nothing wrong.
	Move along, nothing to see here.
	Sorry about your ancient church.
	Well, once we get you out of there, we'll probably turn it into a tourist attraction and bilk Zionist Christians who come here to check it out.
	Yeah.
	Come visit the Holy Land.
	Give us your money.
	The circumstances of which are still unclear and the results of the investigation will be published transparently.
	I can't wait.
	I'm sure we'll be seeing results soon.
	Israel never targets churches or religious sites and regrets any harm to a religious site or to uninvolved civilians.
	It would never target churches or religious sites.
	Does anyone really believe this at this point?
	Israel has continually lied over and over again.
	After providing initial media updates, through the morning, the LPJ issued an official statement on the attack condemning the violence and renewing the Cardinal's own regular calls for peace.
	Latin Patriarchate strongly condemns this tragedy and this targeting of innocent civilians of a sacred place.
	However, this tragedy is not greater or more terrible than the many others that have befallen Gaza.
	Many other innocent civilians have also been harmed, displaced, and killed.
	Death, suffering, and destruction are everywhere.
	The time has come for leaders to raise their voices and to do all that is necessary in order to stop this tragedy which is humanly and morally unjustified.
	That's right, it's an unjust war.
	This horrific war must come to a complete end so that we may commence the long work of restoring human dignity.
	Whether again, there's just war theory.
	This is a completely unjust war.
	Their targets are routinely shown to be nothing but civilians firing indiscriminately into crowds of starving Palestinians, people they've gathered by saying, come get food here.
	This is where you've got to come to get aid.
	Oh, you guys got a little bit too rowdy.
	We think you might be planning something.
	Let's ignore the fact that we've starved you for days and perhaps some of you are getting fearful that there won't be any food left by the time you get there.
	Sorry, the crowd got a little bit too rowdy.
	We're going to have to open fire.
	These are horrific tactics.
	These are monstrous tactics.
	For some months since the outbreak of hostilities, the Catholic Church in Gaza has been more than simply a church but also a refuge for many who have been displaced due to the war.
	Currently some 600 people are believed to be based at the compound, many of whom are children with around 50 also having disabilities.
	That's right.
	Of course, this was just accidental.
	Oops.
	Sorry we dropped it a little bit too close.
	The church has seen its fair share of engagement in the current conflict with Israeli military apparently targeting it and separately nearly hitting it with bomb strikes a number of times.
	Of course, they never target religious sites.
	They wouldn't do that.
	Israeli snipers were accused of murdering two women who were part of a number of refugees sheltering in the building in late 2023.
	Seven more people were shot and wounded as they tried to protect others inside the church compound, declared the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
	No warning was given, no notification was provided.
	They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish where there are no belligerents.
	The patriarchate has not taken sides in the conflict, but neither has it shied away from condemning such attacks upon civilians, particularly when they have affected people sheltering in the parish in Gaza.
	And this is a serious issue, but this Pizzabala himself, what a name for a Catholic.
	Pizzabala.
	Pizzabala himself has taken a similar position, advocating not for any particular party, but for the implementation of peace and rebuilding of family life across the board.
	The Italian cardinal, Pizzabala, has said there needs to be new leadership with vision in both the political and religious arenas before peace will be or before peace will take place.
	A likely indirect criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu.
	Israel is just going to demolish Gaza.
	They don't care if you're a non-combatant in a church.
	They'll fire upon you.
	It doesn't matter.
	They're going to flatten the entire area.
	It doesn't matter if it's men, women, or children.
	Of course, they're willing to starve anyone as well.
	Any tactic is fine.
	Doesn't matter.
	That's their land.
	They have the right to do whatever they want.
	Of course, Israel also attacked Damascus.
	Israel attacks Damascus.
	The IDF has struck the Defense Ministry as violence escalates across Druze populated areas of Syria.
	actually have a video of that so let's look at that right now you can see that Israel attacked the headquarters of the Syrian military in locations near the presidential palace in Damascus on Wednesday.
	The strike broadcast live on the Iranian Izna television channel was carried out after West Jerusalem issued warnings of painful blows in response to Syrian military operations targeting the Druze ethnic minority.
	Of course, you'll remember the new Syrian government was brought into power by the United States.
	They actively fought against Assad.
	We had been trying to get him out of power for years and we finally accomplished it.
	And of course, now this is the government that Israel has attacked.
	Oh no.
	Not another proxy war.
	Turns out the Syrians that we backed are about to learn how America treats its patsies.
	You're only useful, briefly.
	And then we get to come in and clean you up, mop you up, this time with Israel's help.
	Violent clashes have been going on for several days in the city of Sveda, involving Syrian security forces supported by Bedouin groups and Druze militants.
	In an effort to protect the latter, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes on southern Syria.
	Wednesday strikes also hit the predominantly Druze city of Sveda, Sweda?
	I'm going to say Sveda, where a ceasefire announced the previous evening swiftly collapsed into a fourth day of fighting.
	Ceasefires don't tend to last long in the Middle East.
	Multiple militant groups led by Hayat Tahir al-Sham took power in Damascus late last year.
	Following the turmoil, Israel invaded the buffer zone in southwestern Syria adjacent to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and carried out an aerial campaign.
	Since December, the Islamists have reportedly perpetrated several massacres of Syria's minority communities, including the Alawites, Christians, and Druze.
	Of course, these are our rebels, the ones we supported, the ones we backed.
	The battle for the Middle East is going global.
	The various regional conflicts are increasingly becoming a standoff between the West and the global south.
	Global events increasingly reflect the growing confrontation between the Western bloc led by the United States and its allies and the countries of the so-called world majority coalescing around BRICS.
	This geopolitical tension is particularly evident against the backdrop of escalating conflicts in the Middle East where the actions of the U.S. and Israel are seen as manifestations of Western hegemony.
	While BRICS nations and their partners are increasingly positioning themselves as defenders of multi-polarity sovereignty and a just international order.
	And even just from a Machiavellian, who cares what the moral thing to do is, what's the most efficient thing to do?
	The American foreign policy has made it incredibly easy for them to come in and position themselves and say, we are the enemies of these evil tactics.
	It gives them the moral high ground, which even if you don't care, as I said about the morality of it, even if you think it doesn't matter, you can at least see the utility in possessing the moral high ground and being able to claim it and use it as a weapon against other people.
	The BRICS nations are able to do that very, very readily.
	Saying, look what America has supported over the years.
	Look what they've done.
	Look how they've treated the Middle East.
	Look what's happened there.
	Look what they're allowing Israel to do with their money and weapons.
	On July 7th, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu at the White House.
	The two leaders discussed two major issues, the upcoming negotiations with Iran and the controversial initiative to relocate Palestinians from Gaza.
	These topics underscored Washington and West Jerusalem's efforts to reshape the Middle East security architecture.
	Framed under the banner of offering a better future.
	A better future.
	A better future for who?
	Definitely not the Gazans, not the Palestinians.
	They don't even get to have a future, if Benjamin Netanyahu gets his way.
	They'll starve them all.
	They'll shoot them all, bomb them all.
	They'll kill every last one if they have to.
	No future for the Palestinians.
	Yet unfolding amid growing accusations of violations of international law.
	During a working dinner, Netanyahu stated that Israel and the U.S. had been consulting with several countries allegedly willing to accept Palestinians wishing to leave Gaza, emphasized that the proposed relocation would be voluntary.
	That's right.
	Sure, we've carried on a continual campaign of terror, murder, destruction.
	But it's voluntary when you finally say, I can't take it anymore.
	I have to leave.
	I've got to get out of here.
	They're going to kill me.
	It's voluntary.
	Come on.
	It's voluntary, guys.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	They're volunteering to leave.
	Sure, you've killed my family.
	Who knows?
	Maybe they killed maybe you've killed my mother, father, brother, sister, wife, children.
	And I'm the only one left with nothing to do here.
	You can voluntarily leave the hellscape that we're bombing into rubble.
	Exactly.
	You can voluntarily leave, or you can get bombed into atoms, offering a better future to those who seek it.
	According to him, agreements with a number of countries were already nearing completion.
	Initially, Trump refrained from making a clear statement on the matter, but later remarked that neighboring countries have been extremely cooperative, expressing confidence that something good will happen.
	This ambiguity may reflect either an attempt to soften the political sensitivity of the issue or reluctance to prematurely reveal the details of a plan that has drawn considerable criticism.
	Considerable criticism, that's right.
	Previously, Trump had proposed transforming Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East and relocating its population, an idea harshly rejected both by the residents of the enclave and by international human rights organizations, which characterized it as a form of ethnic cleansing.
	Oh, come on, guys, just a little ethnic cleansing and we can set up some casinos.
	We can make it such a fun place to hang out.
	We can just if we get rid of all those nasty Gazans, those nasty Palestinians, we can turn it into the Riviera of the Middle East.
	What a ridiculous proposition that was.
	The meeting marked the third in person encounter between Trump and Yetanahu since Republican leaders returned to the White House.
	Just two weeks earlier, the U.S. had carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in support of Israeli military action.
	Days later, Trump helped broker a short-term ceasefire in the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, an achievement likely intended to bolster his own diplomatic credentials.
	During the meeting, Trump announced that his administration had scheduled formal talks with Iran.
	He said that Tehran had shown a willingness to negotiate following substantial military and economic pressure.
	They're willing to negotiate after we've threatened them.
	US Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, confirmed that the meeting was expected to take place within the next week.
	Trump also indicated he was open to lifting sanctions on Iran under the right circumstances.
	Well, if you kneel, if you grovel, if you do whatever Israel says, maybe we'll lift the sanctions.
	Meanwhile, Iran's newly elected president, Masoud Pezeshkin, expressed hope that tensions with the United States could be resolved through diplomacy.
	It's truly amazing that we're told that, you know, well, we can't do anything with these people.
	They're savages.
	We can't let them have a nuclear bomb.
	They're savages.
	They'll immediately use it to blow everyone up.
	Meanwhile, we're the one who is bombing them, putting sanctions on them, engaging in acts of war.
	And their elected president is hopeful that he can use diplomacy to solve this issue.
	They're the savages willing to engage in diplomacy.
	Truly amazing.
	These statements suggested a potential, albeit limited window for resetting U.S.-Iranian relations, though both sides appeared driven primarily by tactical considerations.
	Of course, again, this could be a simple calculus on their part saying, well, we cannot win a military conflict.
	While we may be able to outlast them, while we may be able to survive, potentially, it will not be pretty.
	We do not want a conflict with the USA.
	We've seen what happened to Iraq and Afghanistan.
	Either way, that proves that they are not maniacal and not going to self-destruct, not going to engage in a suicidal nuclear war.
	As I pointed out, if they are shrewd enough to realize they won't win in any real sense a conflict between the U.S. and Israel, they're shrewd enough to realize that nuclear annihilation is not a reasonable outcome either.
	They don't want to be bombed into nothingness.
	The political significance of the Trump-Netanyahu meeting was further underscored by protesters outside the White House.
	Hundreds of demonstrators waving Palestinian flags demanded an end to U.S. military support for Israel and called for Netanyahu's arrest in light of the International Criminal Court's warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
	Earlier that day, Netanyahu met with Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
	The following day, he held talks with congressional leaders.
	During his meeting with Trump, the Israeli prime minister also handed the president a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
	A symbolic gesture aimed at reinforcing the strategic bond between the two leaders and appealing to their respective domestic audience.
	That's right.
	Warmonger to warmonger.
	Here's your peace prize nomination.
	We're reality has gotten so incredibly absurd.
	I don't know how.
	This is something...
	But it's just reality.
	Netanyahu shows up with a Peace Prize nomination.
	The Israeli side expressed hope that the outcome of the conflict with Iran could help advance the normalization of relations with several Arab states, including Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.
	In this sense, the actions of Israel and the US in the region appear to be aimed not only at immediate security concerns, but also at long term strategic reshaping of the Middle Eastern landscape.
	However, the situation is far from straightforward.
	It seems that Nanyahu is trying to create the appearance of active engagement in peace processes while in reality showing little interest in achieving meaningful change.
	He's made it clear what he wants is that land.
	He wants complete destruction of anyone that gets in his way.
	He's got no interest in peace.
	He's got America on a chain.
	We're going to eventually do what he wants.
	Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced plans to establish a tent city in Rafah to relocate up to 600,000 Palestinians.
	Israel would control entry into the camp, prevent residents from leaving, and subsequently begin the process of transferring them out of Gaza altogether.
	That's right.
	We're just going to set up a tent city.
	We're going to set up a camp for all you people.
	We can live here until we ship you somewhere, or maybe die due to lack of supplies.
	Who knows?
	We'll figure it out when we get there.
	It's a camp to concentrate the population.
	I wonder where we've seen this sort of thing before.
	Except the amenities provided are just tents.
	Yes.
	This is all part of what has been referred to as the Trump plan for the depopulation of the enclave, the establishment of full Israeli control.
	According to Katza's broader plan, the remainder of Gaza's 2.1 million residents could eventually be expelled as well.
	Critics argue that this approach would amount to the forced displacement of Palestinians to third countries.
	Anal Shaleen, a fellow with the Quincy Institute's Middle East program, described the proposed camps as concentration camps and expressed doubt that the Trump administration would intervene to stop the implementation of Israeli plans.
	Yeah, I'm expressing doubt as well.
	i don't think trump will intervene to help the palestinians what happens
	According to the latest figures, the war in Gaza has killed at least 57,575 Palestinians and injured another 136,879.
	And of course, there's different figures all over the place.
	Some estimated it much higher, if memory serves.
	The majority of Gaza's population has been displaced, and UN estimates suggest that nearly half a million people are now on the brink of famine.
	Against the backdrop of Netanyahu's visit to Washington the day before on July 6th, the BRICS leaders issued a joint declaration condemning the June strikes by Israel and the US on Iran.
	Particularly targeting nuclear facilities, we condemn the military strikes against Iran that have taken place since June 13th, 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the UN Charter.
	Specifically, the BRICS leaders expressed concern over attacks on civilian infrastructure and nuclear facilities.
	They also voiced alarm over the escalating tensions in the Middle East, called for diplomatic efforts to resolve regional crises.
	Unsurprisingly, Trump, along with Detanya, who was deeply displeased by the BRICS statement, he has repeatedly threatened sanctions against BRICS members, states, and their allies.
	According to Politico, Trump sent a letter to the Brazilian government threatening to impose 50% tariffs, accusing the country politically persecuting former President Jair Bolsonaro.
	And of course, sanctions are an act of war.
	That's how it begins.
	According to former U.S. Special Envoy to Latin America Maurizio Clavercaron, the BRICS summit was the last straw for Washington.
	Trump's anger at his allies say stems not only from the situation around Bolsonaro, but also from BRICS's ongoing efforts to de-dollarize the global economy.
	The group's condemnation of the strikes on Iran and Israeli actions in the Middle East was also met with frustration in Washington.
	Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula de Silva announced retaliatory 50% tariffs on U.S. goods.
	Meanwhile, Trump continues to ramp up pressure.
	On other BRICS-aligned countries threatening 10% tariffs, and previously even floated 100% tariffs should the bloc attempt to replace the dollar in global trade.
	In its bid to preserve global dominance, the U.S. has increasingly resorted to political and economic coercion, viewing BRICS' efforts as a direct challenge to the existing order.
	If the global rift is not merely economic or ideological, the Middle East has become a front line where this confrontation takes on the form of open conflict.
	Well, America has its ally Israel to thank for that.
	Gotta get involved continually, and of course, we're going to back them.
	The BRICS nations are free to do the right thing, the moral thing, and say this is wicked and needs to stop.
	The contours of this global divide are becoming ever more defined.
	On one side, the U.S. and its allies and proxies, on the other, those advocating for a reimagined world order based on fairness, sovereignty, and a balance of interests.
	From this, one clear conclusion emerges.
	Conflicts in the Middle East are set to intensify.
	Gaza will likely remain a flashpoint of violence and humanitarian crisis, as the root political and geopolitical causes of the conflict go unaddressed, the confrontation between Israel and Iran already escalating through direct military engagements, and cyber operations may evolve into a wider and more dangerous conflict.
	Moreover, the arc of tension is likely to draw in additional regional players, including Turkey and various Arab states.
	This trend lays the groundwork for a profound transformation not only of the Middle East, but of the global system itself, where the battle over new rules of engagement becomes driving force behind enduring instability and conflict.
	And of course, we are currently in the middle of the fourth turning.
	The gosh, I can never remember anyone's name, but they wrote that book.
	And we're right about dead center where things should be.
	And of course, times are getting strange.
	Shield your eyes.
	We want peace through war.
	That's right.
	Peace through war.
	We're going to bomb everyone until there's nobody left.
	And once there's no one left, then everything will be peaceful.
	KWD68, at least Lindsey Graham is happy.
	That's right.
	You know, he's in his large, lovely house dancing around.
	Oh, this is wonderful.
	This is wonderful.
	I can't wait to send more bombs to Israel.
	This is going to be great.
	Video on the board of exactly that.
	let's go ahead and give it a play then Just what is it?
	The president's rhetoric has changed this week on Russia.
	He is making clear his patience is very thin.
	But he's got right now at his fingertips just short of $4 billion in presidential drawdown authority.
	He doesn't need to ask Congress.
	He doesn't need to ask the Europeans for that money.
	He's got it if he wants to tap it.
	Well, this is about Ukraine, but...
	...weapons or surge them?
	Well, the $4 billion is not nearly enough.
	I expect him to exercise that $4 billion.
	Not nearly enough.
	Regarding Putin's invasion of Russia is about to change.
	I expect in the coming days you will see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves.
	I expect in the coming days that there will be tariffs and sanctions available to President Trump.
	Lindsey Graham, there's not a war he doesn't love.
	There's no violence or conflict that he doesn't want to arm.
	Well, I just put that in the deck the other day, and he's just such a general warmonger.
	I got him mixed up.
	It's hard to keep track of which conflict he's supporting.
	We can assume he's very excited by what's going on with Israel.
	Oh boy, my Raytheon stock is going to go through the roof to the moon.
	The Syrian girl, I suspect the Gaza residents who could get out are long gone.
	The ones who remain are too poor and have nowhere to go.
	Except maybe a concentration camp.
	Yeah.
	Seems that way.
	Seems like if you had been able to leave, if you were capable of fleeing, then you would have already done it.
	We've got some clips of Charlie Kirk here.
	Now, isn't...
	A lot there.
	First of all, look, if you support what Israel's doing in Gaza right now, I would just like my advice to you guys is just know that you never have a leg to stand on claiming to be pro-life for the rest of your life.
	He's right.
	So it's okay to support a policy.
	Let's not move our speaker, Dave.
	It's okay to support a policy that is killing babies.
	All of a sudden, killing babies is negotiable.
	All right, fine.
	I'm just leaving the room.
	So Dave, why don't you?
	I'm not talking about the backups.
	Hold on, back up.
	Dave, why don't you?
	I'm going to actually help you out here, Dave, okay?
	I want you to tell the audience what's going on in Gaza, because some people in the audience don't know what's going on.
	So people assume they know, and let's not get back to you.
	Okay, well, I did assume that most people know that lots of babies are being killed in Gaza.
	But maybe I should have assumed that.
	Don't be sarcastic about it, Dave.
	Don't be sarcastic.
	I mean this because they're a sensation loop where they're on social media all the time, okay?
	So walk through numbers, walk through what animates you to say something like that.
	Well, okay, well let me respond to a few of the things that there was a major report a couple weeks ago in Heretz, the Israeli newspaper, where they had a bunch of IDF soldiers.
	They actually had one who went on record who was saying that they were ordered to shoot at crowds of people who were going into libel left-wing filth, by the way.
	Josh, I let you talk.
	Please let Dave make his case.
	The IDF soldier who went on the record also filth?
	Probably.
	Okay.
	All right, there you go.
	So there, see, you're, whatever.
	That's when you'll criticize the IDF.
	Look, Josh is just lying when he says that Israel supported Hamas for all those years because they feared there might be a worse alternative.
	It's just not true.
	And this has been so widely reported.
	You don't have to rely on Horetz.
	You can rely on all types of reporting, or you can just look at all of the leaders in their own words, what they said.
	Netanyahu, and this was very controversial in Israel.
	There were lots of critics of this.
	Netanyahu demolished.
	He had this brilliant idea that he would prop up Hamas and keep them in power.
	His exact quote was, we can control the height of the flame.
	So he was like, we'll keep these terrorists in power, and that way we can tell the entire international community that, look, we have no partner for peace.
	We have no one to deal with here.
	And that way we never have to negotiate with the people who are in the world.
	You can imagine Charlie Kirk's game that he played.
	And it blew up in his face and really blew up in the Israeli people's face on October 7th.
	And I've never downplayed October 7th.
	I know, but I'm just making the point that I never have.
	You don't have to downplay any of that.
	And in fact, I've criticized many other critics of Israel who have downplayed that.
	It was a horrible day.
	Awful, atrocious acts were committed by Hamas terrorists.
	But at the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was propping those guys up, in fact, according to the Israeli former defense secretary, he sent the head of the Mossad to put the money in.
	Meanwhile, they had a blockade around Gaza.
	They wouldn't let sugar, they wouldn't let potatoes in, because they claim that's dual use.
	That could be used to build rockets so the kids can't get food.
	Yet hundreds of millions of dollars in cash directly to Hamas.
	I guess money doesn't have a dual use.
	So, you know, the whole mission of this, what you can't even really call a war, because it's not a war, it's the destruction of a captive people.
	Gaza's been occupied.
	He's right.
	Net has been occupied.
	This is more like slaughtering pendant animals.
	This isn't, as he said, a war.
	They have been completely surrounded and hemmed in.
	They have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee.
	They are not able to leave.
	I cannot even believe that Charlie Kirk let this man on.
	I can only assume that he is such a smug individual that he thought, well, obviously there's nothing that he can do.
	He can't beat me in a debate.
	He can't provide any real facts.
	And he just absolutely demolishes Charlie Kirk's position and the other guy, whoever that Josh guy is, just sitting there smugly trying to snipe at him as he points out the evil that Israel is engaged in.
	And he's absolutely correct.
	If you support what is happening in Gaza, if you support what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, bombing men, women, and children over and over again, you do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to being pro-life.
	You're not able to make a compelling argument.
	It just means your ethics and morals are pliable when need be.
	Yeah, well, you know, I'm pro-life about babies here, but for those Palestinians, who cares?
	What does it matter?
	They're Palestinians.
	Israel needs that land.
	They were given a divine right to it.
	And as such, children can be murdered.
	Zionism is such a wicked, wicked belief.
	It has done so much damage to the world, it's hard to state.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and then we're actually going to talk about abortion, which is why I wanted to play that clip before we go to it.
	Because it ties in very nicely.
	It's important to remember these things.
	It's important to be consistent with what you believe.
	It can undermine everything otherwise.
	Stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	music
	Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now, the David Night Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We've got some comments here.
	Dave Smith is Jewish.
	So Kirk thought he had an ally.
	Oh, no.
	Betrayed.
	Surely they're all a monolithic group that will all support the same thing.
	Surely he'll agree with me.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	He's brought facts and logic.
	Gardner Goldsmith.
	Good to see you, Gard.
	Hope you're doing well.
	By the way, Travis might not be delighted to hear it, but has the spot-on and hilarious Lindsey Graham impression.
	Oh no, this is terrible news.
	I mean, Lindsey Graham is a...
	He's a fairly easy one to impersonate.
	He just, High verbal.
	Many Jews are distancing themselves from the Gaza genocide and harshly criticizing it because they see what is coming on the horizon, which is the whole world coming for Israel to exact justice.
	I don't know about that.
	I, again, I don't want either...
	I don't want any people completely wiped out.
	I would like for the Jews to be able to live peacefully with the Palestinians and the Palestinians to be able to live peacefully with the Jews, but as I don't have a solution for that, I think they should be left to work it out on their own.
	I don't think we should be funding one side or the other.
	Again, I think it's pure vanity to think you're going to come in and say, hey, you know these conflicts and these feuds that have been going on for decades or hundreds of years.
	We're going to tell you how to fix it.
	We're going to tell you exactly what needs to be done.
	Can't do that.
	It's ridiculous.
	There's far too much bad blood on either side.
	It has to be worked out from within if it can be worked out.
	As I said, we're going to move on to abortion.
	And that's part of the reason I played that Charlie Kirk clip with Dave Smith.
	Because he was spot on.
	It's important.
	You cannot be pro-life.
	You cannot be pro-life in America and be okay with the murder of children in Gaza.
	So we're going to move on to abortion.
	Watch, abortionist caught on video bragging about killing the unborn.
	It was from LiveSight News, as I said.
	An undercover video taken by the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, PAAU, caught Virginia abortionist Jessica Lou Rubino making candid remarks about her work, including mocking the idea that her victims were living humans with inherent rights.
	It was announced PAAU and detailed first by live action.
	The video was taken at the Pro-Abortion Group Repro Risings 2025 Gala in Arlington, Virginia, where the videographer speaks with Rubino, who operates Meadow Reproductive Health for roughly 11 minutes.
	I'm here with two nurse practitioners that I've trained and they're doing abortions now at the clinic.
	Actually, most of my clinic staff is here, so that's also exciting, yeah.
	That's awesome.
	That's exciting.
	Rubino explains that her clinic also offers gender-affirming care.
	There's no wickedness this woman won't be excited to do.
	Yeah, you want to murder your baby?
	Oh, I'd love to do that for you.
	Oh, you want to mutilate your child that's born?
	Oh, that's wonderful, too.
	How despicable and evil.
	She defines as part of family medicine, but that most of my time is spent on abortions.
	She says she chose her specialization because committing abortions is easy and technically not really that challenging.
	But once done, she has made someone's day or even saved their life, which is untrue.
	It's been talked about by doctors over and over again.
	This whole, well, abortions are life-saving.
	Abortions are this.
	It's just hype that they spin.
	What if you need an abortion to save your life?
	What if this?
	What if that?
	What if you need to murder your baby?
	What if you need to?
	Made someone's day.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	She's made their day.
	It's great.
	I've made someone's day.
	Sure, I've chopped a baby into pieces and I've stained my soul.
	I've committed murder in the most heinous way possible to the most innocent.
	But I've made someone's day.
	She also touted the certainty of results in abortion as opposed to the difficulties of diagnosing and treating actual ailments.
	I'm going to be able to make you not pregnant if you want.
	Which means that when people come to see me, they end up feeling really good.
	Just listen to the way she describes this.
	Listen, when people come to see me, they end up feeling really good.
	The way she describes this, the feeling really good.
	A claim belied by countless cases of abortion regret.
	The most chilling portion of the exchange came when Rubino detailed the corpses left behind.
	Most of our patients are going to be under 12 weeks because that's majority of people who have abortions.
	They're going to be really, really early.
	That's when it's really quite small in the sack, she said.
	Some patients will ask me afterwards if they can view what I've removed.
	If it's like nine weeks, it's just like, it's still a sack actually at that point.
	Once you get to like ten to twelve weeks, it's like see-through because it doesn't have like bones, hasn't finished forming, but you can start to make out little hands and little feet, she acknowledged.
	All you're doing is dilating the cervix a little bit.
	And when they're real early, I mean, we're talking a tiny stem, and then you're literally putting in a little bit.
	That's enough.
	I don't want to hear her voice.
	If you want to watch the video, you can go find it in this article.
	But I am doing everything I can to maintain some level of equilibrium.
	People like this are pure evil.
	This is murder, and I have no whatever laws need to be made.
	I don't we should prosecute these people as if they are murderers.
	We should haul them all into court.
	We should exact justice.
	We're going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.
	We're going to make it a punishable crime one day.
	She claimed that upon seeing their dead fetus, her patients almost always go, oh, that's it?
	When they see that fetus, they're like, oh, because they're expecting a baby, because that's what people have told them for all their lives, right?
	She went on, but when they see, like, oh no, that really does look like something that's not done for me, and I was trying to put its rights above mine, because it's another individual.
	It's another human life.
	It doesn't matter the level of development.
	It's still a life.
	Also, still murder.
	This is after they've, you know, butchered it, and the methods in which they kill these children in abortions are truly brutal.
	It's horrifying.
	Of course, there are videos that people talking about how when they go to chop the baby up, they retreat and they recoil from the pain.
	They try their best to survive as they are being chopped up.
	Now let's just look at this.
	Even if you, let's say...
	They want you to see the mangled corpse.
	Our appearance of early developmental stages aside, it is a settled biological fact that the life of an individual human being genetically complete and distinct from his or her parent begins at fertilization and is present through the entirety of pregnancy.
	Being knit together in the womb by God.
	From the very beginning, from conception, from fertilization.
	This is one of those things where so many people haven't really considered anything at all.
	Even if you don't believe in Christ, even if you're not a Christian, even if you only have some vague sense of, well, yeah, I believe there's a soul and I believe there's a spiritual element, but this, that, and the other, yeah, but I still supports abortion.
	These people, if abortion can only really be supported by people who are purely materialists, people who do not believe in any sort of spiritual existence.
	If you believe in the soul, if you believe in it at all, you have to admit, you have to at least come to the conclusion that, okay, it must happen at conception.
	Anything else is purely just me trying to hand-wave it away for convenience sake, because what does it matter?
	The soul is extra-dimensional.
	It's outside reality.
	It's something beyond what we can tangibly and physically understand, and therefore there's no reason for it to need the brain to be more developed for it to exist.
	It's beyond that.
	So conception is the only time it makes sense for the soul to appear.
	And as such, from the very beginning, no matter what you believe in, if you even have some of these vague, spiritual, loosey-goosey beliefs about the soul, you have to admit abortion is the snuffing out of that life, the removal of it, and it is attacking another living thing that has its own individual soul.
	Oh, no, it's just whatever.
	Yeah, I kind of believe in spiritual stuff.
	Never given it any real thought, though.
	Yeah, I'll just murder babies.
	Who cares?
	The PAAU videos reminiscent of work first done by the Center for Medical Progress, CMP, starting in 2015.
	CMP began releasing a series of secretly recorded conversations with officials from Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation, that set off a firestorm.
	CMP These people are just wicked.
	Abortion providers are evil.
	They are some of the most despicable, wicked, malevolent people on the planet.
	We have seen them over and over again reveling in what they do.
	Not just being happy.
	Like, oh, well, yeah, I provide a service and I think I'm helping women, but just actively excited to kill children.
	These people are demonic.
	Abortion is a horror.
	And it's no surprise then that we also see them engaging in gender-affirming care, whether it's actually mutilating your child's body or providing drugs that will sterilize them and ruin them for life.
	These people are evil, pure evil.
	And it is difficult for me to talk about it without becoming enraged, without screaming, without saying things.
	Doug to 007, if carrying out an abortion is easy, something is very wrong with you.
	Yeah, they're broken.
	They have no conscience.
	It has been seared.
	It has been removed from them.
	They bought fully into the propaganda.
	If you can chop up a baby, if you can see what's left, you are pure evil, and we should drag you into court and get justice.
	We should put you on trial.
	And when you admit that you've committed, you know, however many abortions it's been, we know that that's a human life.
	We charge you with however many counts of murder.
	And no, we're not going to make any concessions.
	Blue collar Eric, it isn't easy to take a life, but the more they do it, it becomes easier for the murder MDs.
	DG8, how can you have a gala to celebrate killing in the womb?
	Disgusting.
	Yeah, these people are disgusting.
	These people I use that term loosely.
	KWD 68, the doctor who gave the testimony in Congress years ago was very graphic and all.
	The abortion girls behind him were pale in horror.
	He brought instruments.
	Yeah.
	That's what happens?
	Yeah.
	You're killing a baby.
	There's a movie about the abortionist Gosnell that goes into more about the types of people that do this sort of thing.
	Yeah.
	They're evil.
	They're insane.
	They're disgusting.
	And they do not deserve to be out and about in the general public.
	This is also from LifeSight.
	This is an article about the video I played of Dave Smith with Charlie Kirk.
	I wanted to play it as a segue.
	I should have grabbed this article first, but that other one is the videos of every time these people get exposed for who they are and what they are.
	And they're so eager and so excited.
	Yeah, I get to help women.
	I get to do this.
	It's so wonderful what I do.
	You're a murderer.
	You're a mass murderer.
	Mass murder of the most innocent and incapable of protecting themselves.
	Most despicable people on the planet.
	Jewish pundits says supporters of what Israel is doing in Gaza can never claim to be pro-life.
	They've said, yeah, he's right.
	Dave Smith challenged the crowd and mostly young Christian conservatives to maintain consistency in their pro-life convictions, connected to the fact as the principle of the sanctity of each human life applies to preborn children, so too they must recognize the inviolable right to life of every child in Gaza as well.
	Of course, we've seen the Christian Zionists, some of them call the Gaza people Amalekites, basically saying, yeah, God sanctions their genocide.
	Kill them all.
	Remove them.
	It doesn't matter.
	If you support what Israel is doing to Gaza right now, my advice to you guys is that you never have a leg to stand on if you claim to be pro-life for the rest of your life.
	As I've said, I agree with Dave Smith, saying this to a mostly pro-Israel audience at the TP USA Student Action Summit.
	Receiving some booze from attendees, the political commentator pointed out the hypocrisy.
	Cooping to the large crowd, oh, so it's okay to support a policy that is killing babies.
	All of a sudden, killing babies is negotiable.
	Suggesting he would not want to associate with the movement that holds such opinions, he said, alright, fine, I'm just leaving the room.
	The Internet pundit went on to reference a June 27th report titled, It's a Killing Field, in the Israeli newspaper Haharetz, where Israeli soldiers said they were ordered by superiors to fire upon desperate starving Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid distribution.
	They pose no threat to them.
	You saw that other guy, whatever his name is, Josh something or other, immediately go, Ugh, pure prop.
	No.
	Just dismisses it.
	He doesn't provide any reason as to why.
	He doesn't say it's been debunked.
	He doesn't tell you where you can view the debunking of it.
	He just says, oh, don't listen to that.
	It's complete propaganda.
	Well, explain how, Josh.
	Explain why.
	Tell me exactly how you came to that conclusion that it can't be trusted.
	Oh, well, it's just propaganda.
	You can't believe it.
	Why would you?
	As of Wednesday, Felipe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA confirmed it's a death trap.
	People are forced to choose between starvation or being killed while trying to address the starvation.
	Yeah, we've talked about that quite a few times now.
	They set up aid distribution centers, and when you come to get the food, because they've starved you, when you show up, they decide, eh, well, maybe we'll just fire into the crowd.
	Sorry, you got a little bit rowdy.
	We thought maybe you were a threat.
	The same agency reports that over 870 of these Palestinians seeking food distributions have been killed, and 4,000 injured Since Israel resumed aid distribution near the end of May.
	Additionally, UNRWA estimated on Tuesday that since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been killing the equivalent of an entire school class of children every day, with a class size average ranging between 35 and 45 students.
	35 to 45 children a day.
	And so many Christians just don't care, refuse to acknowledge it.
	What does it matter?
	Look, we've got to support Israel.
	No matter what they do, they're God's chosen people.
	We've got to continue to back them.
	In March, LifeSight News released a report extensively documenting the genocidal heresy of extremist religious Zionism.
	Of course, our government is loaded up with Zionists, people like Huckabee or Hegseth, people like Ted Cruz.
	I'm going to be the biggest ally of Israel in Congress, or whatever that guy's name is they're trying to replace Thomas Massey with, the clown in the cowboy hat.
	We need to back Israel no matter what.
	They're God's chosen people.
	Gotta back them when they murder 35 to 45 children a day.
	And I continually see people hit the refrain of, well, Palestinians do bad things too.
	Palestinians do bad stuff.
	Yeah.
	I'm not condoning it.
	I'm not saying they're innocent.
	I'm not saying they're pure as the driven snow and they deserve to be supported unconditionally either.
	What I'm saying is that Israel, who we are backing, who we are supporting, are engaging in directed attacks against men, women, and children.
	Specifically the women and children being the most horrifying part, non-combatants, they are able to discern that they are doing this.
	They are doing it on purpose.
	They are killing 35 to 45 children a day with our support.
	And as such, we are responsible for those children's deaths.
	Given such training in the Israeli military, it should perhaps not be surprising when in July 2024, 45 American physicians, surgeons, and nurses who had volunteered in Gaza since October 2023 wrote in a letter addressed to Joe Biden that every one of us on a daily basis treated preteen children who were shot in the head and chest.
	No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world's best sniper, commented one of the letter signatories, Dr. Mark Perlmutter.
	In his testimony, he stated that all the disasters he had seen over 30 years and 40 medical mission trips combined did not equal the level of carnage he saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza.
	The North Carolina based physician further stated that the victims of such carnage are almost exclusively children.
	Really makes you wonder, huh?
	Could they be doing this on purpose?
	His testimony includes seeing scores of children incinerated, shredded, missing body parts, and being crushed by buildings.
	Seems like Christians need to start taking a look at what the fruit of this eschatology has been.
	The fruit that has been born of this Zionism is Hm.
	What has it led to?
	What has it done for us?
	What has it done for the Palestinians?
	Oh, it's led to genocide and the death of thousands of children.
	As Israel continues to massacre and starve Palestinian civilians on a daily basis, reliable reports of Palestinian deaths number at least 58,573, including 17,400 children at a confirmed minimum, with at least 139,607 people injured, including over 10,000 children who've lost at least one leg.
	These dead do not include around 14,000 who are missing and presumed dead and buried under the rubble 10,000 children maimed 14,000 missing, just gone buried under the rubble.
	Families left to just mourn them.
	They don't even get to give them a burial.
	Don't even get to see them one last time.
	They're just gone.
	According to a rationale presented in a Lancet study in July 2024, one can conservatively estimate total deaths, including indirect fatalities due to causes like starvation, lack of medicine, or proper medical care to include 292,865, 128,861 of them being children.
	Last December, advocacy groups, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International released extensive reports concluding Israeli authorities were deliberately seeking to bring about the destruction of the people of Gaza by various means, including the deprivation of necessities like water, food, energy, and medical care, amounting to crimes of genocide.
	That's right.
	But of course, Trump doesn't say anything about that.
	Both he and Netanyahu are just going to hang out in the White House.
	Netanyahu's going to give Trump a peace prize for all he's done for Israel.
	For joining in the bombing of Iran.
	These two men that have committed massive crimes against humanity, Trump with his warp speed vaccines and Netanyahu with his direct bombing of Palestinian civilians.
	128,000 children.
	Okay.
	Additionally, in January 2024, the International Court of Justice delivered a preliminary ruling finding the charge of genocide against Israel to be plausible.
	And last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Chief Yoab Galant for crimes against Humanity and war crimes, including starvation as a method of warfare.
	The crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
	Smith went on to unpack the ironic fact that Netanyahu counted Hamas to be a strategic friend, including his well-known arrangement with Kotar to fund the militant group governing the Gaza Strip with 35 million in cash every month to keep them in power.
	Netyahu thought he had this brilliant idea, which is what he would prop up Hamas and keep them in power.
	His exact quote was we can control the height of the flame, explained the podcaster.
	That's right, you heard that in the video.
	We can control the height of the flame.
	They'll be ours.
	We'll know who the enemy is.
	We'll keep them in line.
	This was the game that he played and it blew up in his face and really blew up in Israeli people's face, in the Israeli people's face on October 7th, beginning the current conflict, he said.
	You can't even really call it a war because it's not a war, Smith continued.
	It's the destruction of a captive people.
	Gaza's been occupied since 1967 by the Israelis and they're now just slaughtering the people there.
	And of course, Smith is taking a kind of generous view here.
	I wouldn't say that it blew up in Netanyahu's face.
	I'd say it is more or less what Netanyahu was ultimately hoping for.
	Yeah.
	Eventually, something happens and it gives him the excuse to flatten Gaza.
	It gives him plausible deniability.
	Well, we've got to get rid of these people.
	As if to speak to Smith's original point above during a 1996 general audience, Pope St. John Paul II affirmed no one can remain indifferent in the face of attacks on human life.
	Whether it be the life of an unborn child, a sick person, or an elderly individual, to be silent is to become an accomplice to the culture of death.
	Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas Setanya, who told his Likud Party's Nisset members in March 2019.
	This is part of our strategy.
	And this is from Ha'aretz.
	And we're going to support Hamas.
	We're going to keep supporting Hamas.
	Isn't it?
	It's hard for me to put into words how upset the death of children makes me.
	But I'm sure you all feel the same.
	It's become even more difficult for me since my wife and I had our son.
	When you don't have kids, the death of children is evil, but it's an abstract evil.
	You can only think about it as, well, how would I feel?
	You don't know what it's like to hold your own child.
	You don't know what it's like to look into their eyes and to see their smile.
	Once that happens, it's a completely different.
	You know how much joy he has brought you.
	How much joy she has brought you.
	And 128,000 children, 128,000 Palestinian children.
	So how can we support that?
	It is a horror.
	It is monstrous.
	Something that is unconscionable.
	And it is truly despicable.
	We're going to take a quick break while I compose myself again.
	I need a minute here to get myself back together.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Defending the American Dream.
	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 grey 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 the DavidKnightshow.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 end of the day is a big deal.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We've got lots of comments here.
	Guard Goldsmith, one of the bizarre things I noticed about the anti-life woke collectivists is that they seem to view reality like it's just cheap artwork.
	Not serious, but merely there for their pleasure.
	That's an interesting point.
	I suppose if you don't believe there is any deeper meaning to anything, if you don't believe there is, you know, universal truth, there's no reason to take anything very seriously.
	Oh, it's all about posturing.
	Whatever.
	However, you can make yourself look better.
	Citizen of Americaca, Luke 17 says, your reward is the millstone for simply causing the little ones to sin.
	Better that you had never been born.
	Now imagine when you murder them in the womb or worse.
	These people who have committed abortions are in for an eternity of torment.
	Of course, I do believe that they could repent, that if they were to cry out to Jesus Christ and say, please forgive me, I have sinned, I have done wrong.
	I did not know.
	I believe they could be forgiven, but I think most of these people are pure evil and they will not do that.
	That they enjoy their wickedness and as such refuse to admit it.
	Citizen of America, I guess I think Jesus doesn't love Palestinian, Iranian, Syrian, or Yemeni kids.
	Yeah.
	Zionists more interested in political Israel than in the words of Jesus.
	Anyone that Israel happens to be attacking at any given time doesn't count.
	Cicada, 17.
	Travis, that's how I felt about abortion.
	It was evil before I held my baby.
	It was an abomination after I held her.
	Yeah.
	When I look at my son, when I hold him, and when I think about how so many children have been killed, how many women have been told, it's just a bundle of cells.
	It doesn't matter.
	And I know that so many children could have grown up like him, could have been happy, smiling, wonderful babies, could have lived good lives, they could have had so much to give to the world, so much love to give to their parents.
	But it breaks my heart.
	And I am filled with a lot of anger towards these people.
	These people who have pushed this propaganda, who have turned us into this nation of baby killers.
	It's hard to express, isn't it?
	It truly is an abomination.
	It makes it difficult for me to say anything because what can you say?
	It's pure evil.
	It's possibly the most wicked thing ever devised.
	Industrial scale baby murder.
	Sold to women as empowerment.
	Yeah, don't you want a career?
	Well, I know you could have a baby.
	I know you could look into your child's eyes and see the love there and see the happiness and the excitement as they learn something new every single day.
	I know you could learn to unconditionally love them and feel that well up within you.
	But hey, wouldn't you rather go make widgets at whatever corporation is going to treat you like garbage and fire you and replace you with someone who'll do your job for three quarters of the price?
	Wouldn't you rather do that?
	Modern America is a clown show horror.
	I don't even know how to properly describe healthy babies born in Britain after scientists use DNA from three people to avoid genetic disease.
	We're reaching brave new world territory.
	Government's going to be able to control reproduction.
	Reaching remarkably efficient eugenics territory.
	It's going to be sold to people.
	Look, we should do this because they have issues.
	There's these problems.
	So come on.
	Let us change these things.
	United Kingdom, July 16th, eight babies born using three-parent IVF show no signs of mitochondrial DNA disease, offering new hope to women at risk of passing on fatal genetic disorders, researchers say.
	Eight babies have been born in the UK using genetic material from three people.
	Parents expressed joy and relief after a long wait for the healthy baby, stating after years of uncertainty this treatment gave us hope.
	And it gave us her baby.
	And that's how it's going to be sold, these eugenics technologies.
	Isn't it wonderful we can help these people?
	It is.
	I'm very happy.
	I hope this baby has a long, wonderful life with a wonderful family.
	But this is going to lead to horrors.
	More horrors are always coming down the pipeline.
	Researchers noted that while the technology reduces risks, it does not eliminate the chance of passing on pathogenic DNA variants.
	A genetic defect found in the mother's egg can, in the worst case, lead to the death of the newborn child.
	It's difficult to say, to talk about this sort of thing because while this is terrifying in what it can lead to, again, the fact that the child's children were born healthy and they are not at risk anymore, it's a very difficult knife's edge to walk.
	Planned Parenthood's sex ed program claims children are sexual from birth.
	More depravity from Planned Parenthood here.
	They are into all kinds of evil.
	If they can't get you to murder your child before they're born, maybe they can get you to screw them up with perverse sex ed or gender confusion.
	Maybe they can get you to mutilate them physically, get them to take drugs after they've confused them about their sexuality.
	KWD68, Harrison Bergeron, and dozens of other dystopian stories.
	Yeah.
	Always makes me think of Gattaca, where if you don't have a genetically edited child, they're going to live a second-class life.
	These people will be purpose-built to be superior.
	Yeah, well, you know, we've modified children, so they're born with an IQ of 200.
	They're going to be 6'5 ⁇ , perfectly muscled.
	There's a scene at the beginning of the change agent novel from Daniel Suarez that has a really good example of how this would play out with parents feeling pressured to get the genetic modifications to have their kid keep up with the neighbors.
	Yeah.
	How can you be forced?
	Well, not forced, but it's going to be incredibly difficult to say no when everyone else is doing it.
	You're going to feel like a bad parent for refusing to have your children do it, refusing to edit your child genetically when everyone else is going to.
	Am I putting them at a disadvantage by doing this?
	Conthink, that suit is missing a colorful tie.
	You're right, you're right.
	I'll start wearing more ties.
	I submit, Conthink.
	Planned Parenthood, as part of the Radical Future of Sex Education, FOSC Coalition, one of the nation's leading sex miseducators, has an online sex ed to go program to instruct teachers on how to become sex educators, and it's no less explicit than its other materials.
	The program promotes perverse ideas about children being sexual from birth.
	Planned Parenthood boasts of being the single largest provider of sex education, claiming to reach 1.2 million in the United States.
	Shows how utterly perverse this nation is.
	And of course, this isn't just the tranny mental illness that they're pushing.
	It's also obviously pedophilia if they're saying children are sexual from birth then.
	That's right.
	This is promoted for use by third through 12th graders, third grade being about eight years old.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	These people want to teach your kids about how they're sexual from birth.
	How did it come to this?
	Where did America go wrong?
	Beyond financial incentives, birth rate decline points to a theological crisis that requires a theological solution.
	Of course, we've seen Russia and Hungary and these other places start putting in financial incentives, but it's not working as well as they want.
	We've seen Trump $1,000 for women that have children.
	Low birth rates will end civilization, says Elon Musk, man who creates AI waifu so you don't have to interact with real women.
	The New York Times spotlighted the issue with multiple articles on the subject in recent months.
	President Trump's administration floated offering 5,000 baby bonuses.
	Well, $5,000 baby bonuses, I should say.
	While the talk about birth rates, financial incentives, and pro-natalist movements.
	Because the CDC released new data in April revealing alarming trends, the U.S. fertility rate dropped to an all-time low of 54.5 births per 1,000 women.
	That is less than half the peak reached in 1957, which was 122.9.
	The birth rate in the United States first fell below the replacement rate in 2007.
	The United States is not alone.
	Many countries share this problem.
	South Korea owns the sharpest decline in birth rates and faces a population decrease of 50% the next four decades.
	And of course, as they said, this isn't simply a economic problem.
	This isn't something you can fix by saying, well, we'll give you money to have kids.
	Is that what you need?
	No.
	It's everything surrounding it as well.
	People have been so propagandized, so continually told, oh, well, you know, what you really want is your freedom.
	Once you have kids, you can't go out and do things anymore.
	You can't go out to bars with friends.
	You can't go on trips with your friends to Mexico or these other places.
	You can't sit on a beach and get drunk once you have children.
	And I mean, isn't that more important?
	Don't you want to waste your money and time on a trip to somewhere so you can take pictures in front of something?
	So you can have a scrapbook to look back on when you're old?
	Isn't that what you want?
	One of these people that brag about being dual income, no kids, and come up with this absolutely awful acronym.
	They call Dink.
	Yeah, dual income, no kids.
	It's so great.
	It's so great.
	We get to do What we want whenever we want, we can buy all the nifty little toys.
	I get to go to, I get to go on girls' trips, he gets to buy as much beer and have his own man cave permanently infantilized slaves to their own selfish desires.
	No, I couldn't possibly, I couldn't possibly live if I wasn't able to go on these trips and see these places.
	I just live to travel.
	I'm going to die alone in a nursing home, but I'm going to be able to look back and see all these pictures of the places I went, and that's going to be comfort to me when I'm laying there looking up at the ceiling all by myself.
	The United Nations published an article in 2024 stating that while the world population continues to grow, it is expected to peak in the 2080s before entering a decline.
	Also, the population is growing in places like India and other countries.
	Not first world countries, not America, not England, not Russia, not Japan, not South Korea.
	The Trump administration and other countries want to solve the problem with money by offering incentives to families and mothers to have more children.
	Hungary implemented such incentives in 2019, offering loans up to $35,000, which could be forgiven if a family had up to three children.
	But the birth rates still declined.
	Why are birth rates declining and how did we get here?
	And of course, part of it is just the level of propaganda people have been hammered by.
	Children are messy, children are loud.
	You don't want children.
	Ugh, don't you hate it when you get on a plane and a child is screaming and when you go out to a restaurant and a child is noisy?
	Why would you want a child?
	Why would you want to ever have a child that would love you?
	That would be excited to see you, that would be so happy to see you in the morning when they wake up.
	Why would you want to see that smile of excitement and love when you could buy yourself a new car?
	Wouldn't that be better?
	We live in a time when self-evident truths are not so self-evident.
	That is why Christians must continually reaffirm them.
	For example, the UK Supreme Court recently affirmed that men and women are biologically males and females.
	How did we get to a place where one of the highest courts in the land had to rule on something any preschool or any church could explain?
	Our world lacks biblical anthropology.
	We do not know who we are or what we are supposed to do.
	As Andrew Walker has said in the face of this, evangelical Christians are recognizing that politics is not just about policy, but about he says anthropology, but really it's culture.
	Anthropology an anthropology that affects not just Christian self-interest, but a broader cultural self-understanding of who we are as human beings.
	Children are a gift from God.
	That is a simple way of putting it.
	It is wonderful to get to see them grow up.
	There's no other way to say it than they are simply a divine blessing.
	In light of the cultural challenges we face, churches must proclaim two key principles.
	Well, he says self-denial and the value of children.
	Because people get into this.
	I have Natalie.
	It's like, yes, you have to sacrifice for children.
	There are certain things you will not be able to do.
	You may not be able to take those trips.
	You may not be able to afford the new sports car.
	But it doesn't matter.
	Who cares?
	It's not even self-denial.
	Why on earth would this matter in the light of these things?
	You're not going to be able to do these things, but it really won't even occur to you.
	It won't even crop up.
	Oh no, I'm not going to be able to buy this or that.
	To me, it doesn't even feel...
	There are certain things you won't be able to do, kind of like having a steak dinner means you won't have room for gruel.
	Exactly.
	It is so much more wonderful and more beautiful.
	Self-denial.
	No, it's not self-denial.
	This is self-enrichment.
	This is wonderful.
	It's only self-denial if you are just a pure selfish hedonist without any interest in anything greater.
	Yeah, it's self-denial if you're only able to look at the immediate and purely materialistic things.
	Oh, I'm not going to be able to buy a sports car.
	Getting to see his smile every morning is so much better than anything I could ever purchase.
	It doesn't even matter.
	It doesn't even cross my mind.
	Defy Tyrant 1776.
	People have exchanged having children for a pursuit of the almighty dollar.
	Hence the population die.
	Yeah.
	And it's gotten to a point where you basically need both parents to be working to even stand a chance.
	And that's what it always was.
	People would sacrifice their children to Moloch for financial blessings.
	And now they've continued to do it with abortion, and they'll even sacrifice the they won't sacrifice even just the thought of having children.
	How could I afford to have kids?
	I can't.
	There's just not any time.
	There's not this.
	There's not that.
	One proposal from the Trump administration suggests reserving 30% of scholarships for the full Bright program, a government-funded cultural exchange for students, scholars, teachers, and professionals for applicants who are married or have children.
	Other proposals offer a 5,000 cash baby bonus to American mothers after childbirth.
	No amount of money is going to undo the propaganda.
	It is up to Christians again to tell people they're a blessing from God.
	They're wonderful.
	It's amazing.
	It's beautiful.
	It is.
	It's better than anything you can imagine.
	It doesn't matter what else you have in mind.
	It doesn't matter if...
	You're never going to own a Lamborghini.
	Who cares?
	You're never going to get to go to Spain or Europe or Italy.
	Doesn't matter.
	Doesn't matter.
	You can look at pictures of those places online if you really need to.
	But you can't find a facsimile for having a kid.
	As a Christian, I affirm policy ideas like these.
	Christians can applaud these efforts as aligned with biblical values and the common good, but we know these efforts are not the ultimate solution.
	The bottom line is that if we want people to have more children, they need theological education.
	motivation And this guy, I think his heart's in the right place.
	But he's very sort of rigid about it.
	Well, we need theological education.
	They need to be instructed in this and that.
	It's like, tell them about the joy, the excitement, the wonder of it all.
	How amazing it is.
	Just, oh, this is, you know, he's saying here, pastors and churches must recover and declare the God-given duty human beings have as image bearers.
	It's like, look, yes, technically you're right.
	There is duty there.
	But this is wonderful.
	It's exciting.
	It's incredible.
	Every morning I get to look at my son and even when he wakes up an hour and a half before he's supposed to, and we're exhausted and tired, just his smile makes it okay.
	He looks up and he goes, ah.
	He's so excited to see his mom or his dad.
	He's so excited to start the day.
	It's like, who cares?
	Yes, I'm tired.
	Sure, there's a little, he costs money.
	What does that matter?
	It's physical.
	It has no greater meaning.
	It's not going to matter how much money you had.
	It's not going to matter the places you saw, the things you bought.
	Children are just a blessing from God.
	That's what people need to understand.
	This guy, again, people say, hey, children are not a burden.
	The truth is, they are.
	And it's just...
	You're buying into the world's definition of burden.
	Just, the These are totally different ballgames.
	They don't even register on the same plane.
	children are a blessing from god they are the second after the And it's just to compare them to these physical, temporary things you can own or possess, it's ridiculous.
	It's utterly unfathomable to me at this point.
	Just after having a child, how can anyone look at it and go, oh, well, you know, it's...
	Oh, it would have been nice to have that car or that house or that trip.
	I can't...
	It doesn't...
	How can you even think like that?
	It doesn't register at all.
	I don't get it.
	We need Christian scaffolding back in our culture.
	Even atheist writer Jonathan Rauch agrees.
	he stated that Christianity is a load-bearing wall of American civic life.
	But, again, it's...
	The joy of just being able to tell people, yes, I'm a child.
	I've been adopted by God.
	I've been saved.
	And the joy when you're talking about children.
	And I think, again, I noticed this when I was younger.
	So many Christians kept focusing on the, well, marriage is hard work.
	It's difficult and you're going to have a lot of conversations.
	you're going to get angry and you're going to fight.
	And this is just...
	How amazing it is to have someone that you can turn to every day, who is there for you in these times of struggle.
	Continually sitting there and harping on it.
	Oh, it's so difficult.
	Talk about the joys.
	Don't focus on the negatives of things.
	There's always downsides to everything.
	Everything can be made to seem like a bad deal if you want to sit there and point out every little issue with it.
	But there are oh, the blessings far outweigh the downsides.
	It's truly wonderful to have a child.
	I could not think of there is nothing I would trade him for.
	There is no amount of money, there's no amount of physical earthly possessions that could outweigh his smile.
	And people need to be told about that sort of thing.
	Not just, oh, it's your duty to have children.
	Technically, yeah, you should.
	But it's a lot better than just, it's your job.
	It's a wonderful, incredible, unbelievable, just beautiful thing to do.
	Trump Burger, Travis, we all know you actually fantasize about a new pool when you look at your kid.
	That's me just sitting there.
	Ah, man.
	Aw, man.
	If I didn't have you right here, I could have a pool.
	I would.
	I'm not a big pool guy, personally.
	My skin tone means I burn in about 10 minutes.
	Doug to 007.
	My mom said when she and my dad took their first check after I was born, all she could do was think about how much she missed her baby and wanted to be back home.
	Yeah.
	My wife and I have been able to go out for a few dates since he's been born.
	And we're very thankful for, you know, her family and my family being willing to watch him.
	But every time we go out, we're just sitting there just, oh, if only he, we wish he was here.
	Bet he'd like to try a piece of this.
	Bet he'd be making a cute face right now.
	Every time we go anywhere without him, we just miss him.
	So we are completely and utterly obsessed with our son.
	We are exactly those people that just sit there and he's like, you want to see a picture of our baby?
	We're not quite there, but it's pretty close.
	It's absolutely pretty close.
	And I think there is nothing wrong with that.
	He's a wonderful child, and we are completely and utterly obsessed with him.
	And that's the way it should be.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Liberty, it's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Wait a minute.
	Where am I?
	Sorry, Jefferson.
	The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy.
	Despicable.
	This is outrageous.
	Washington.
	I spent my life fighting centralized power.
	Now the Federal Reserve Monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money.
	Tell me there's some good news to all this.
	Well, there is a coin they can't control.
	One that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the Fed up.
	The all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly.
	They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	Welcome back, folks.
	And a little bit of entertaining news, I suppose.
	DC and James Gunn are going to sue Donald Trump over this tweet right here.
	You can see he, someone in the White House, had Photoshop Donald Trump's face on a Superman.
	And I suppose they didn't get permission for it, and now lawsuits are pending.
	How egotistical is this man?
	That's right.
	I'm Superman.
	I'm here to save the day.
	I'm going to fix everything.
	Someone, of course, did this as a response.
	That's right.
	His kryptonite, the Epstein files.
	Oh no.
	His powers are being weakened.
	We've actually got a video talking about it, which I was about to get to, and here we are.
	It's been a rather good week for DC Studios and WB.
	They've been making money, and of course, if you look at the reports online, they're about to be a lot richer by about a billion dollars because James Gunn and Warner Brothers are launching a $1 billion lawsuit with President Donald Trump and the White House.
	So let's talk about what's going on.
	This guy's name is the Comic Book Cast, if you want to find him.
	But that's the gist of it.
	James Gunn, D.C., suing Donald Trump.
	$1 billion.
	Put his face over Superman.
	An amazingly frivolous lawsuit for what is obviously satire and political speech.
	Even as someone...
	So we'll have to see how that plays out, I'm sure.
	Not fans of Donald Trump, but also not fans of the abuse of the copyright and patent system.
	Yeah.
	Similar to what we just had with the Hitchcock commercial.
	Yeah, the Superman movie wasn't really political, but James Gunn and DC are doing everything they can to make it political retroactively.
	Right, overture.
	Most people who support abortion change their minds when they find out what actually happens.
	A lot of people have been sold on the lie.
	It's just a clump of cells, you know.
	Nothing to worry about when they see the actual process or hear it described.
	And when you do, it's sickening.
	M sellers, most women who have had an abortion regret their decision almost immediately, and it takes years for them to heal from that decision.
	Yeah, it's a it's you killed a child, and once you realize that, once you realize you've killed your own child, it's a truly horrifying thing to have to bear.
	Like I said, Con think says, could you imagine Trump's body inspanded?
	I'd rather not.
	No, thank you.
	Well, we actually have the Trump Superman movie on the board.
	That's right.
	We actually...
	I think that's what it was, yeah.
	In fact, we'll go ahead and give that a play for you, since.
	I'm sorry, Con think.
	You've made me do this.
	Why would you make me do this?
	From a doomed planet in a distant galaxy to the fortress of solitude.
	To the bustling city of the Daily Planet.
	Look at this guy.
	It's a bird.
	It's a plague.
	It's stupid man.
	My name is John Miller with Trump News.
	You guys report fake news like a lot of it.
	Now you no longer have to imagine.
	You can see him right there in the spandex.
	...like a plane, because you know if it's a bird and it flies into a windmill, it's toast.
	A lot of people don't know that.
	I know a lot about birds.
	Someone tell the story.
	I'm using extra vision.
	When you're starting like you.
	So the fortress of solitude is one of the most luxurious properties in the world.
	They say it's number one.
	Maybe that's true.
	It's got a lot of solitude.
	Maybe too much solitude, if you know what I mean.
	Maybe too much solitude.
	So when you say faster than a locomotive, what do you mean?
	Do you mean like the locomotive is over here and this guy over here is getting to where he's going before the locomotive is?
	I am not so sure if that's gonna happen.
	There you go.
	You get the gist of it, Mr. Newberger.
	Stupid man.
	And as I said, Khan, you don't have to worry about imagining anymore.
	You can behold with your own eyes.
	If that isn't proof that AI is evil, I don't know what is.
	They will show you horrors beyond comprehension.
	And we're starting to witness them.
	We're going to move on to Donald Trump's fight with his base about Epstein.
	Trump continues to throw gasoline on the Epstein bonfire by attacking his own supporters in MAGA.
	Of course, he's burning it all down for his own self-interest.
	This is by Brian Shilhave on vaccine impact news, health impact news.
	President Donald Trump poured more gasoline on the Epstein bonfire today, propelling the story into headline news again with a post to his truth social platform where he referred to the whole matter as a hoax started by the Democrats.
	That's right.
	Sure, he's been harping on it for years.
	Sure, it's something he ran on and ginned up support from, his base with.
	But now it's just a hoax that was started by the Democrats.
	Move on.
	This is something they did, and you're a sucker if you ever believed it.
	Notice how he calls the supporters who want the Epstein files released as past supporters.
	He's already pressured his DOJ and FBI leaders to get on board with this new position, that the Epstein files are a hoax.
	Here's what he said today from the White House.
	The American public is not buying it.
	As Americans on both the left and the right are now opposing Trump on this issue.
	This put a lot of pressure on GOP Congress members in the House who have to be re-elected every two years and face midterm elections next year.
	As I've pointed out, of course, and many people have, this isn't a unique observation.
	He doesn't have to run again.
	He's got his.
	He got elected and now he's free to do as he wants.
	He doesn't need the support of his base anymore.
	He can say and do whatever.
	And of course, the entire GOP is very nervous about this because they have all hitched their wagon to Trump.
	Trump has become the Republican Party.
	So if he goes down, he's taking them all with him.
	Exactly.
	Trusting Trump is never a good idea.
	You hitched your wagon to me.
	Now you've got to deal with the consequences.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	Trump's archenemy in the House, and one of the only GOP congressmen who does not take support from AIPAC, the Jewish lobby group, is Thomas Massey, who today started a campaign to get enough votes in the GOP to side with Democrats and demand that the DOJ release the Epstein files.
	That's right.
	Trump may single-handedly tank the entire Republican Party except for Thomas Massey.
	There may be one or two other people left, but Thomas Massey is one of the few people, one of the only people I know of in the Republican Party, that has been willing to stand up and say, no, no, you're wrong.
	As such, he may be the only one to survive this.
	You have to imagine that that cowboy hat doofus that was going to run against him is just kicking himself.
	He's going to support me right after, right before?
	Massey moves to force a House vote on the release of the Epstein files.
	Epstein, who died in federal custody while awaiting sex trafficking charges, of course.
	mister Massey teamed up, teamed on Tuesday with Representative Roe Cahana, Democrat of California to file what is known as a discharge petition.
	By midday on Wednesday, he had already had the support of at least six Republican representatives Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Eric Burleson of Missouri, Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, and Lauren Bobert of Colorado.
	And the list is growing.
	It's still hard to know if this is 100% scripted theatrics at this point designed to create chaos from the GOP, where Susie Wiles and Trump vastly underestimated the backlash that was going to result from all this.
	Yeah, I think Trump to some extent thought he had everyone on a leash.
	If I tell them to move on, they'll move on.
	And he's been right so far.
	They've been willing to take just about anything and everything.
	But maybe a pedophile network within the federal government was just a bit too far.
	Maybe it was something that even they weren't willing to do for their wonderful master Donald Trump.
	Even the MAGA base, even the QAnon people seem to be looking at it and go, wait a minute, huh?
	Huh.
	Wait a minute.
	Are the Patriots really in charge?
	I thought they were.
	How could this happen?
	Given Trump's well-known arrogant behavior, I am leaning towards the second choice.
	He seems to be drunk on his new power under a second term.
	And probably genuinely believes that he can do no wrong.
	The supporters will follow and support anything and everything he wants.
	The Q drops that were so frequent under Trump 1.0 stopped a couple of years ago.
	And of course, the Q thing was always such a huge scam.
	Whoever it ended up being, it was people like Flynn and Alex Jones, Jerome Corsi that played into it.
	Whether it was whoever it was, they have done such damage.
	The QAnon's and people who followed Q interpreted everything and anything that Trump did as positive, and uncovering the deep state and arresting the leaders of the pedophile Epstein network.
	Yeah, no matter what happened, Q would put out some cryptic insanity, something that doesn't seem to have any true meaning, and people would interpret it and say, oh, what this means is that they're secretly rounding up people in the underground tunnels, or Donald Trump is engaged in a war against the deep state here, and we've got good people over there doing this or that.
	And this is going to happen soon.
	And when it doesn't happen, they just reinterpret it.
	And they do so over and over again.
	Not a single not that I'm a follower, but I don't think a single thing Q predicted or people interpreted as prediction ever happened.
	They continue to support him now, finding another way to spend this as part of the plan they need to just keep trusting in.
	Here's the latest video from the anonymous YouTube channel that was posted yesterday.
	And you could see anonymous.
	Let's go ahead and pause that.
	If you're still wearing a guy Fox mask in 2025, I'm sorry to tell you, it has been taken over.
	It is completely out of favor now.
	They have become cringe.
	Sadly.
	It's the time has passed.
	As this situation continues to escalate, mostly because Trump will not leave it alone or move on, what are Trump's options now?
	Is he rapidly losing support base over this?
	I doubt that he could get anything passed by Congress right now to try and squelch this, but he could potentially resort to his most frequent way of acting like a dictator and issue some kind of executive order to try and make this all go away.
	He could try to declare that anyone who accuses his administration of covering up Epstein, incriminating evidence as being anti-Semitic, and maybe even be subject to deportation to one of their gulags that are rapidly increasing around the world.
	That's right.
	Well, if you point out what's going on with Epstein, it's because you're anti-Semitic.
	You hate the Jews.
	You claim he was Mossad?
	Well, that's not right.
	You can't say that.
	Matt Walsh slams Trump administration's move to bury Epstein sex trafficking scandals from LifeSight.
	Matt Walsh minced no words as he criticized the Trump administration's stunning reversal in its messaging surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's client list.
	Of course, we've known about the Trump-Epstein connection for years, but Matt Walsh has seemed pretty fine with being cozy, supporting Donald Trump for a long time.
	But here, he says, there's simply no getting around the massive crater-like hole that the administration dug for itself here, Walsh said during his most recent podcast.
	The Trump administration is just telling us to shut up, essentially.
	Millions of Americans are not satisfied with that.
	With what we've been told, Walsh declared, and we shouldn't be, because it's been contradictory and insulting to our intelligence every step of the way.
	This is what happens when people are deceived and strung along for years only to be told that they're not entitled to any kind of transparency whatsoever.
	People are just not going to move on with their lives no matter how badly you want them to, and there's a reason for that.
	I want to make this very clear to those on the right, including the president himself, who are telling us to just drop the subject and move on, Walsh said.
	We can drop it.
	We can't drop it, we can't move on because what we want is justice.
	We have a deep desire for justice, he explained.
	We can see how the corrupt and powerful are never held accountable.
	Why do you think he's not releasing the list, Matt?
	Why?
	Why would Donald Trump, who ran on it, who promised it, who's had photo ops for influencers to hold out their little binders?
	Why wouldn't he release it?
	It's'cause it's'cause he's implicated.
	It's because there are things in there that would be damaging to him.
	That's why, Matt.
	He continued, we can look at our cities and see violent criminals running rampant in the streets, also not held accountable.
	We want these evildoers to be punished.
	We want the innocent to be defended.
	We want justice.
	It's one of the most basic and most honorable of all human desires.
	I want to see that justice is done.
	Turning his attention back to the Epstein scandal, Walsh said, We want to know who else is in those awful videos that Pambondi told us about.
	We want those people to be dragged in front of us weeping and begging for mercy.
	Yes, it's good rhetoric, Matt.
	I like it.
	I'm in support of that as well.
	I think that'd be a great start.
	However, I think there you and I both know there are reasons Donald Trump isn't going to.
	We want them exposed and humiliated and shamed and punished in the harshest and most painful way, because that's justice, and we're not going to drop the subject until we get it, he promised.
	So unseal everything, including the search warrants and the financial disclosures, tell us exactly what was in those truckloads of documents that you recovered in New York, he urged.
	Show us the phase two Epstein files that you told us about a few months ago It's not gonna happen.
	In other words, don't give us any more excuses from bureaucrats on Fox News.
	Don't give us any more stonewalling and double speak.
	Yep, this Epstein affair is not going away.
	And this is from General Michael Flynn.
	He declared it on X. This has to change and quickly.
	Well, maybe General Flynn could get this sorted out by praying to some more ascended masters.
	Flynn being deep into that grift.
	Deep into convincing these people that the Patriots are in charge.
	Don't worry about it.
	Nothing to see here.
	You just need to trust the plan.
	That Michael Flynn, it's not going away.
	Just got off the phone with the top federal law enforcement contact.
	The change in approach to Epstein has been dramatic.
	Conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote on X. Expect more disclosures.
	Some very powerful people inside Admin are now pushing for a special counsel.
	A full press briefing on Epstein findings.
	Yeah.
	They continually pull this kind of thing.
	Be prepared.
	More is coming.
	Special counsel.
	What do we really expect?
	I would be surprised if anything ever gets released.
	If they do, it'll be simply it'll point specific fingers at specific people to throw them under the bus.
	What they'll release is something about how Pam Bondi bungled the case or somebody did.
	Never get any disclosure about who's on the list though.
	The Trump administration reportedly has extensive logs of Epstein money transfers and refuses to release them.
	Surprise, surprise.
	More stuff they won't release.
	Wonder why that would be.
	We felt from the beginning this was a follow the money case.
	That's right.
	And Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of money.
	He had a lot of money, and where did it all come from?
	Oh, you know, here and there, this and that.
	He's a financier.
	It's not just a purported client list of late billionaire sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
	The Trump administration is reportedly hiding $1.5 billion worth of suspicious banking transactions from the public.
	As the New York Times reports, Senator Ron Wyden, who heads the Senate Finance Committee, is calling for enormous money transfers sent to and by Epstein, including wire transfers from wealthy individuals and payments to numerous women to be made public to and from wealthy individuals.
	Wonder why.
	Wonder what those wealthy individuals could be sending him money for?
	I'm sure it's just financiering.
	It's the polar opposite of what President Donald Trump needs right now.
	Increasingly desperate pleas, the former reality TV star has begged his MAGA base to move on without scrutinizing the government's files on Epstein.
	But his most loyal supporters, whom Trump has since accused of being brainwashed weaklings, are outraged.
	After all, Trump's allies have spent years hyping up the existence of the so-called Epstein files, making the latest crisis an enormous, self-inflicted wound.
	Naturally, enormous money transfers tied to an extremely well-connected sex criminal should be ripe for scrutiny.
	We felt from the beginning this was a fall of the money case, Wyden told the NYT.
	This horrific sex trafficking operation cost Epstein a lot of money, and he had to get that money from somewhere.
	However, the federal laws are hamstringing Wyden's efforts to publicize more details about the suspicious activity reports.
	SAR SARS reviewed by his staff, therefore he's now calling on Trump to make these reports available to Congress for analysis.
	The SARs have already led to some incredibly damning revelations.
	One, $1.1 billion JPMorgan report covered thousands of transactions, included payments to women from Eastern European countries where Epstein was known to recruit his underage victims.
	That's reported by the New York Times.
	For quite some time it felt like the Trump administration would have gladly assisted in making that information public.
	Trump's attorney General Pam Bondi gloated about how Epstein's client list was sitting on my desk right now to review several months ago.
	And of course, we saw her say, oh no, I meant just the general file.
	We played that clip multiple times.
	And it's so obvious that she's lying.
	But in early July, Trump started singing a drastically different tune, suddenly denying the existence of the list, which led to a bipartisan outcry.
	Given the latest news, we have yet to discover the full extent of the Epstein crisis, let alone Trump's personal involvement.
	He's known to have been close with Epstein as recently as the early 2000s.
	Of course, we've shown you over and over again the picture for this one.
	There are multiple of these.
	There's multiple pictures of them together.
	There's videos of them together.
	They were good friends, good buddies, who apparently fell out over a real estate deal.
	So yeah, it's a real wonder why Trump doesn't want the Epstein files and lists to come out.
	What could be the reason?
	Hmm?
	Of course.
	I think you have this in your stack, but there's even more breaking news about Trump and Epstein's relationship.
	Did you see the thing about Trump gave him a letter with a drawing of a naked lady for his birthday?
	I have to get to that.
	But in early July, Trump started singing a drastically different tune, suddenly denying the existence of the list, which led to a bipartisan outcry.
	So many power people want that list suppressed, Musk tweeted.
	Fox News hosts pretend the biggest MAGA story, the Epstein hoax, doesn't exist.
	That's right, we're just gonna ignore it.
	Fox News has spent years walking a high wire act catering to President Donald Trump's MAGA base while trying to maintain journalistic credibility.
	Fox's top opinion hosts have removed themselves from a national discourse.
	Of course, it's not just Fox News.
	They're the legacy media.
	Well, that's how they like for it, the dinosaur media, the ones that are on the TV.
	But there have been all kinds of online grifters.
	Alex Jones, of course, hard to talk about someone that has sycophantically supported Donald Trump without mentioning him.
	Just desperate to find excuses for Trump all the time.
	Over the weekend, Trump posted a frantic all caps truth social missive, effectively demanding that all stories about Epstein's client list be dismissed as a Democrat hoax.
	He went further blaming the whole thing on a cabal of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
	It is a ludicrous conspiracy, and this time, even his own supporters aren't buying it.
	That's right, this was all planned by Hillary, Obama, and Biden.
	Don't fall for it.
	So what has the most watched cable news network done in response?
	Mostly pretend it's not happening.
	Stick my head in the sand.
	If we don't talk about it, it's not real.
	CNN has mentioned Epstein 1,274 times, MSNBC 1,156.
	Fox News just 136.
	That includes reruns, strip out special report and the late night satire of Gutfeld, and Fox has mentioned Epstein a meager 82 times since Trump told his base to drop it.
	That's not editorial discretion.
	That's subservience.
	That's just obsequious.
	Yes, whatever you say, Mr. President.
	If you say drop it, we drop it.
	Nothing to see here, folks.
	Move along.
	Sweeping up the mess.
	Yes, Fox and Friends Weekend and Media Buzz acknowledged Trump's pivot in solid segments.
	Sunday morning, but since then the network's main option, opinion onions, Jesse Water, Sean Hanby, the weekday, Fox and Friends crew have been radio silent.
	Not a single monologue, segment, or real engagement with a story from the most watched hosts on the most watched network.
	It's a staggering omission.
	It was an obvious omission when you realize who they take their orders from.
	This is the obvious outcome.
	After stirring the pot by carrying disfavor over the Trump admin's handling of this sordid affair during her appearance at the Talking Points USA Conference, Laura Ingraham then pivoted back to her more comfortable pro Trump position by scolding MAGA influencers who aren't buying it.
	Only Fox News flagship news show, special report with Brett Baer has taken the story seriously.
	It has been unafraid, quote unquote, in leading with it on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
	That's telling Bayer's news team saw what the opinion side didn't want to touch.
	A rare fracture between Trump and his base that could reshape the GOP.
	So why the blackouts from the network's biggest stars?
	The answer seems obvious.
	Trump told them not to.
	And of course, you don't ever have to give an explicit message.
	You don't have to send them a letter or a phone call saying, don't cover this.
	All you need to do is make your stance known, and these people will think to themselves, well, if I want to maintain access, if I want to maintain my position with him, I have to sycophantically do what he says.
	Now, of course, it doesn't rule out the fact that they did get an actual phone call or a letter of some kind, but that's not how things have to work.
	That's not necessarily how things do work.
	These people understand.
	His true social post wasn't just a tantrum, it was a directive, and Fox's opinion hosts appear to be obeying.
	That's right.
	I looked at it and thought, whatever the president says, yes, sir, whatever the party line is, I'm here for it.
	This isn't just bad journalism, it's abdication.
	Yeah.
	Of course, Fox News is more than willing to lie to you about anything.
	Whether it's taking money from big pharma to push their poison on you, Or the latest Trump scam.
	It's all fine by them.
	What does it mean when the most watched media outlet in America is more interested in appeasing a politician than informing its audience?
	It means something is broken.
	And of course, the media has been the enemy of the people for years.
	They've just been another wing of the government.
	Whatever they say, they've got their talking points and they'll repeat them.
	So Project Mockingbird, of course.
	Defy Tyrant 1776.
	There's provisions in the big, beautiful bill that make it harder for judges to rule against his illegal edicts, thereby securing more power in the executive branch, making him more of a dictator.
	He's always about consolidating more power.
	Pesovante 1776.
	Does Salente come on anymore on Fridays?
	Yes, he's on every other Friday.
	He was on last Friday, so he's not on today, but he'll be on next Friday.
	So if you're excited for Salente, next Friday, he'll be here.
	So you can look forward to that, Pesovante.
	You know, I know the Epstein story is important, and it's worth covering, but we've covered it so much within the past few, within the last two weeks, realistically, that maybe we'll take a break from it for now and see and jump on to a different topic.
	If there's time at the end, we'll come back to it.
	But there's stuff going on with Ukraine that is worth talking about as well.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us, folks.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Oh, yeah.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Thank you.
	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.
	Alright, everyone!
	The End
	The End Liberty.
	It's your move.
	You are listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back.
	As I said, we're going to look at what's going on with Ukraine.
	Because what's happened with Israel has sort of pushed it to the back burner.
	And it's still important to see how things are playing out there.
	Trump believes Russia will win in Ukraine.
	It's just a matter of how long.
	That's right.
	You know, how many Ukrainians are we willing to sacrifice?
	How much blood are we willing to pour out for this foreign policy for NATO?
	The president's view is Russia is going to win.
	It's a matter of how long it takes.
	I mean, this was pretty obvious from the start, wasn't it, when you look at the difference in scale and scope of the country?
	Russia has a bigger economy, has a bigger military, has more than enough bodies to throw into the meat grinder, and just doesn't care.
	And although you're making slow progress, they're still making progress, the official added.
	The president just wants to stop the killing.
	Of course, that's what they say, but he could just stop the shipments of weapons.
	He could get out of the conflict, and this would lead to a much more rapid ending to it.
	But he doesn't.
	He is going to continue to arm and fund Ukraine.
	Maybe not as much as Israel.
	Maybe now that we have to be involved with them, Ukraine is going to take a back seat.
	But if we really wanted to, we could just, again, put stop the funding, stop sending them weapons, and let it come to a more quick resolution.
	But no, we're not going to do that.
	We're going to continue to fund them and arm them.
	We'll fight to the last Ukrainian.
	Easy for us to say over here.
	Indeed, the last several weeks have seen clear Russian gains on the ground in eastern Ukraine with a steady flow of reports of towns, settlements and villages being newly captured in the Donetsk and elsewhere.
	There's been some confusion over Trump's policy in arming Kiev.
	He has gone further than he ever has before in approving new anti air defense systems, but still appears to be ruling out long range offensive weapons amid conflicting reports.
	Everything Donald Trump is involved with ends in confusion of some sort.
	And conflicting reports, because Trump is a continual vacillator, back and forth.
	Chickens out.
	People don't know what to count on him for.
	Has realism finally set in concerning Washington's policy?
	It should have been evident from the start of this horrific war of attrition that Ukraine was never going to win.
	And of course it was obvious.
	It was obvious to just about everyone.
	You would see these people online talking about like, wow, look at this Ukrainian offensive here.
	Look at how they took this or that.
	It doesn't matter.
	You can have a...
	...
	The guy crushed the enemy, but they lost so many troops that it wasn't worth it.
	You know, if I have more many victories like this, I'll lose the war.
	Every victory for Ukraine is a Pyrrhic victory.
	It doesn't truly matter in the end.
	They're just delaying the inevitable, costing more lives.
	Still, Zelensky has resisted doing the one thing which could end the war, make territorial concessions.
	He hasn't so much as offered to give up Crimea.
	Zelensky is still lobbying Washington for a major new weapons package, which would send a message.
	And of course, he's put in where he doesn't have to worry about another election while the war continues.
	He's in charge until that day when the war ends.
	Then maybe they'll hold another election.
	We'll see.
	So he's got no interest in ending it.
	He's not on the front lines.
	He's not worried about his life.
	His wife is on the French Riviera or someplace else spending American taxpayer dollars to buy a lot of really fancy clothes.
	And you can bet that he's not in any danger either.
	So it doesn't matter to him how long this war drags on.
	He's enriching himself, having a great time.
	Sure, maybe his countrymen are dying and surviving in horrible conditions.
	Maybe they're out there in the cold and the wet, getting shot at or blown up.
	But what does it matter to him?
	He's got the American dollar to siphon off.
	Trump has pivoted to placing more of the responsibility for assisting Ukraine on NATO.
	For example, during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, he emphasized that Europeans must finally pay their fair share.
	We're not buying it, but we will manufacture it and they're going to be paying for it, Trump said while invoking very rich European allies.
	They feel very strongly about it and we feel strongly about it too, but we're in for a lot of money.
	We just don't want to do it anymore.
	Yeah.
	We don't want to do it anymore.
	Remember, Trump said he would end this in 24 hours.
	We're going to stop the war in Europe 24 hours.
	The war in Gaza 24 hours.
	Here we are.
	Trump's ultimatum isn't an ultimatum, and Moscow knows it.
	US President tries a new attack on Russia.
	Pressure without provocation.
	US President Donald Trump has finally issued his much anticipated important statement on Russia for days speculation swirled particularly among pro Ukrainian circles.
	The long awaited U turn was coming.
	Trump, they hoped, would finally get tough, perhaps inspired by the increasingly hawkish rhetoric of Senator Lindsey Graham, who incidentally is designated a terrorist and extremist in Russia.
	Poor Lindsay, he can't ever go to Russia anymore.
	But in classic Trump fashion, expectations were dashed, like we always talk about.
	Taco.
	Trump always chickens out.
	It's known.
	They even have an acronym for it now.
	His supposedly extremely tough ultimatum turned out to be something else entirely.
	Trump threatened tariff sanctions against Russia and its trading partners, but scrapped Graham's extreme proposal of 500% duties.
	Instead, he floated the idea at 100% tariffs that would only take effect after 50 days if he chooses to enforce them.
	And if Russia fails to strike a deal, mister President, you gotta put 500% tariffs on Russia.
	They're nasty.
	They're mean.
	Can't be having them bully Ukraine.
	Trump also announced new arms deliveries to Ukraine, but these aren't gifts.
	They'll be sold, not given, and passed through European intermediaries.
	Supposedly, Ukraine will receive 17 Patriot systems, yet we soon learned the first of these deliveries won't arrive for at least two months.
	Again, 50 days.
	Even now, basic questions remain.
	What exactly did Trump mean by 17 Patriots?
	17 batteries, launchers, missiles?
	If he meant 17 batteries, that's simply not plausible.
	The US itself only operates around 30 active batteries.
	Germany and Israel combined don't have anywhere near that many available systems.
	Such a figure would significantly boost Ukraine's air defenses, but it's almost certainly exaggerated.
	17 missiles?
	That would be laughable, but not unthinkable.
	Washington recently sent just 10 Patriot missiles in a military aid package.
	So modest it wouldn't suffice for a single battle.
	17 launchers?
	That seems more realistic.
	A typical battery consists of six to eight launchers, so this would amount to two or three batteries.
	More than what Germany and Norway have promised to purchase For Ukraine, yet even the Pentagon can't confirm the details.
	Now, of course, maybe they're playing it coy and refusing to confirm the details.
	Or maybe it's just chaos, and since Donald Trump is impossible to deal with, they actually don't know.
	The so-called 14th July ultimatum had already become a textbook example of Trump's diplomatic approach.
	In fact, a new phrase has emerged in American political slang.
	Slang?
	Trump always chickens out, or taco, as we've talked about here.
	We talk about it quite a bit.
	The security talks of making it refers to the president's habit in trade, and security talks of making grandiose threats, only to backtrack or delay implementation.
	This appears to be another case in point.
	The negotiations are an impasse.
	Trump still craves a Nobel Peace Prize, and he's reluctant to become too entangled in the Ukrainian conflict.
	So he's reached.
	That's right.
	You can't get your Nobel Peace Prize if you're actively bombing someone.
	At least I'd like to think so, but we'll find out, won't we?
	He's been nominated.
	Maybe they'll let him carry the nuclear football to the Peace Prize summit.
	If you don't let me have the Peace Prize, I can't be held responsible for what's about to happen.
	The EU is funding the death of Ukraine, says Moscow.
	This is from RT.
	The European Union is funding the death of Ukraine by paying for weapons sent to Kiev.
	Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakarova has said.
	On Monday, US President Donald Trump unveiled a proposal to continue delivering American weapons to Ukraine at the expense of EU taxpayers.
	Kaja Kalis, the EU's top diplomat, said that the proposal was welcome, but that Trump should not take credit for aid unless the US is willing to share the burden.
	Was Kaja starting to figure things out?
	Zakarova wrote on social media on Wednesday.
	Let's help her.
	It's a bit like being told to foot the bill for a meal someone else enjoys, only for them to end up dead afterward, am I correct?
	Moscow has consistently argued that no amount of Western military aid will make it change its core goals in the conflict.
	The Kremlin has described the EU's approach as an attempt to prolong the war to the last Ukrainian and harm Russia using Ukraine as a proxy.
	That has become fairly obvious.
	Again, just in my own personal experience, I've seen people online from America saying, fight to the last Ukrainian.
	Really?
	It's very easy to make that kind of bold claim when you're not ever going to have to pay the consequences.
	You're not going to be there when the Russians finally do have to get rid of the last Ukrainian, right?
	You're not going to join the cause.
	You're not going to sign up and fight beside them.
	It's real easy to talk about patriotism.
	They're so patriotic.
	It's their honor to fight to the last Ukrainian.
	These armchair tacticians, these scumbags, these losers that are just so willing to pour out the blood of the Ukrainians over and over for nothing.
	For American foreign policy.
	For to stop the nasty Russians.
	Europe wants to take the traditional defense of Europe.
	They said they should, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker told Fox News.
	The reality right now is Europe is they cannot manufacture the armaments required on the battlefield.
	Zelensky becoming more authoritarian.
	Surprise, surprise.
	This is also from Russia.
	Recent raids and cabinet reshuffles have reportedly fueled concerns over a crackdown on dissidents, on dissent in Kiev.
	Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky is facing growing accusations of authoritarianism.
	According to Financial Times, the outlet has cited opposition politicians, civil society leaders, and diplomats as saying that Zelensky and his aides are using extraordinary powers granted under the martial law, enforced since the escalation of the conflict with Russia to sideline critics.
	Muzzle civil society leaders and consolidate control.
	What a shocker.
	What tipped him off?
	Was it him suspending elections?
	Jailing his political opponents?
	Yeah.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Earlier this month, masked operatives raided the homes of prominent anti-corruption activist Vitaly Shabunin and former infrastructure minister Alexander Kubrakov.
	Although authorities claimed the searches were part of ongoing corruption probes, both men described the actions as politically motivated and aimed at intimidating critics of Zelensky's inner circle.
	They also denied the charges.
	That's right.
	Gonna knock down the door of the anti-corruption activist.
	Better stop what you're doing.
	I like my corruption.
	The raids followed sanctions against several high profile politicians, including former president Pyrrh Podoshenko, a longtime political rival of Zelensky who lost him in the 2019 election, has remained a staunch critic.
	Meanwhile, Zelensky has been reshaping the Ukrainian government in the latest reshuffle.
	Reshuffle first deputy prime minister Yulia Sviridenko, a trusted ally, has replaced long serving Prime Minister Denise Schmeigel or is it Schmigl?
	Concerns about creeping authoritarianism have already been raised in the Western press.
	Earlier this week, Ukraine's parliament extended martial law for another 90 days at Zelensky's request, marking the 16th such extension since the conflict with Russia escalated in 2022.
	Under martial law, Zelensky suspended national elections and chose not to step down when his presidential term expired in 2024.
	That's right.
	He chose not to.
	Well, you know, it's for the good of Ukraine.
	I can't step down right now.
	I've bungled us.
	Well, not bungled, it was purposeful.
	I've drawn us into a conflict, a war, and so I can't step down.
	A recent public opinion poll suggested that if there were a runoff election between Zelensky and former armed forces commander Valeri Zaluzini, whom several influential figures sidelined under the current administration.
	The latter would likely beat Zelensky.
	Zelensky is just such an unlikable little dweeb.
	It's hard to believe, I mean, he had a lot of help from America, but still, it's hard to believe he won.
	He's so uncharismatic.
	Moscow, for its part, has declared Zelensky illegitimate, arguing that any future peace agreement signed under his name could later be invalidated due to the expiration of his term and the suspension of democratic processes.
	...
	Everything America gets involved with turns into a foreign policy nightmare.
	Zelensky appoints new prime minister for a war-weary nation.
	Sveridenko and Shmihal are among a wider group of officials taking on new leadership roles as Zelensky aims to re-energize a war-weary nation.
	Fresh off securing a plan to receive more U.S. weaponry, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed a new prime minister, a key negotiator of his country's deal with the U.S. to partner on the development of minerals.
	By naming Yulius Vedodenko, the former economy minister, to become the country's first new head of government since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, Zelensky on Thursday elevated a loyal politician who has experience in diplomacy with the U.S. and other Western nations.
	In addition to negotiating the mineral agreement, seen as an important way of tying the U.S. interests to Ukraine's security, the 39-year-old Sviri Denko has represented her country in a wide range of high-level talks with Western partners, including on issues of defense and economic recovery and reconstruction.
	In 2022, she negotiated with other countries to impose sanctions on Russia.
	The outgoing Prime Minister Dennis Shmihal will become defense minister at a time when Ukraine is looking to ramp up domestic weapons.
	And we actually watch.
	Chinese military unveils robot murder wolfs, drones that definitely violate Asimov's law.
	And we've actually got video of this.
	Now, of course, I'm always skeptical of things that come out of China.
	Anytime China is telling you something or showing you something and declaring how wonderful and great and powerful China is, you should go, okay, maybe.
	China is not above lying straight to the faces of anyone and everyone they think should be lied to for their benefit.
	I don't trust China, but this technology has been around for a while.
	It's just a matter of time before people are strapping bombs to these Boston dynamics to us.
	Again, this is absolutely possible and plausible, like Lance is pointing out.
	It's just anytime China does something, I have to squint and go, hmm.
	Their government is so incredibly shifty.
	They're not to be trusted.
	Not to be trusted at all.
	Let's take a look at the video.
	Got two different groups of soldiers being lectured by, I assume, different officers for people who are watching the video or listening to the podcast.
	One side is outfitted with the sort of Boston Dynamics dogs.
	They're advancing.
	They're I assume describing the battlefield.
	They've unleashed some drones into the sky.
	The dogs are still advancing up the slope.
	More drones released.
	Oh, the drone crashes directly into the target, I suppose.
	That's purposeful.
	A Chinese guy walking next to a performative lab coat scientist lady.
	No, that's not a lab coat.
	She must be a journalist.
	Has the red star on it.
	Show me the dogs.
	That's right.
	Chinese soldiers advancing through the field, dogs still walking with them.
	They need someone to edit these to be more punchy.
	For a fee.
	Tell you what, China.
	For a fee, I'll give your editors some lessons.
	I'll tell them.
	I think the wind condition with the drones was just getting close to the enemy since they would have fragmentation grenades or whatever on them.
	Yeah.
	They really need to punch that up, though.
	Got real dull there towards the end, guys.
	Come on, China.
	Where's your special effects budget?
	Pesavante 1776, Chinese robot murder wolf.
	So they say.
	So they say.
	Song platoon of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
	Chinese robot murder wolves.
	Chinese robot murder wolves.
	The Chinese military conducted tactical exercise integrating robotic wolves and infantry operated drones.
	See, again, they're basically the same thing as all the Boston dynamics, kind of stumbly-bumbly little slow-moving things.
	But China is a little bit better on branding.
	They're wolves.
	That's right.
	Those robot dogs can run faster than humans across rough terrain now.
	Yeah, they still just don't look intimidating.
	Look, you need, if you really want things to sell, you got to understand the aesthetics of things.
	They look stupid.
	You're never going to get me to tremble in fear of a robot dog.
	I don't care if you've got a howitzer mounted on its back.
	Yeah.
	See?
	Use this kind of design from this Army.
	Exactly.
	This is a.
	We need real Terminator wolves.
	If you want to really instill fear in a populace, you've got to have something that evokes fear.
	It's not enough to have it, you know, be dangerous.
	Lots of things are dangerous.
	You know, driving a car is dangerous.
	All kinds of things.
	You need something that looks fearsome.
	Something that'll really put the fear into people.
	The Boston Dynamics dog simply makes me want to kick it over.
	It makes me want to bully it.
	It makes me want to bully the soldiers that have to deal with it.
	Like, what are you?
	Some kind of nerd?
	You're a nerd with a little robot dog?
	That's what you are?
	A big robot dog nerd?
	Now, you need to update the aesthetics.
	Celebrate 14 Travis.
	Israel bombed Catholic Church yesterday accidentally then did it again.
	Only cross left standing.
	Warrants coverage?
	Yes, we talked about that at the beginning of the show.
	Talked about Israel and the bombing of the Catholic Church.
	There's also, there is certain different pictures coming out, different people reporting they're on the ground saying different levels of destruction.
	So it's a bit hard to say exactly how much of it is left standing and which one is telling the truth.
	But yes, we did talk about it.
	We talked about how Israel had been shooting directly into the church and killing people within the grounds.
	76th Group Army's drills focused on battlefield coordination between personnel and autonomous technologies for reconnaissance, strategic point clearing, fire support, and breaching defensive positions.
	According to a military statement, the exercises represent China's latest effort to advance unmanned warfare capabilities amid growing global competition.
	Military robotics, Mike's open.
	The robotic wolves branded steel warriors again.
	They understand a little bit about branding.
	Robotic wolves, steel warriors.
	Still, they gotta get the aesthetics, the sleek, the design down.
	All these names are really overselling them.
	Yeah, it's like, it's a robotic wolf.
	It's a steel warrior.
	And then you see the little boop, boop, boop, boop.
	With the little rounded feet.
	Nah, come on.
	You're never going to evoke fear.
	How are you going to make people tremble?
	Debuted at the 2024 Airshow China exhibition.
	Before being deployed in joint exercises with Cambodia during the 2024 Golden Dragon exercise, China fielded a rifle-armed robotic wolf for assault operations.
	Oh, see, now.
	Alright, see, what you need is, you know how they've got those parade dragons where it's a bunch of guys underneath it and it's serpentines.
	And what you need is a robotic version of that.
	And it's got, you know, a flamethrower in it and it slithers around the battlefield on its many legs like a giant serpentine centipede.
	That would put fear into people.
	You have it move erratically, so it's hard to predict.
	Come on.
	All right.
	Tell you what, China.
	For just a modest fee of a billion dollars, I'll sell out and I'll design the aesthetics of your anti-human, anti-life death robots.
	I'll make them fearful.
	Angry Tiger's Den.
	It says nightmare fuel on the screen.
	Those are not dogs, they're an abomination.
	That's right.
	Dogs are good.
	Dogs are wonderful.
	They are also a blessing from God.
	These things are not dogs.
	They are little abominations.
	The military demonstrations come as Chinese defense analysts raise concerns about the ethical implications of autonomous weapons systems in a recent People's Liberation Army Daily op-ed.
	Analysts Yuan Yi, Ma Ye, and Yue Shui Gong called for ethical and legal research to address risks for militarized robots, warning that malfunctioning units could cause indiscriminate killings and accidental deaths.
	That is, again, you do not want to remove the human ability to make judgments, to look at this and say, no, I won't do that.
	They're assuming that it would be an accident that causes it to do these sorts of things.
	But if you remove people even further from the real cost of warfare, it's easier to get them to agree.
	Just like, sure, it's just something you see on a screen.
	Angry Tiger's Den says, stop giving them ideas.
	You're right.
	You want any more ideas, China?
	You have to pay.
	You got to pay up.
	I'm not going to do it for free.
	I'm not going to make your totalitarian regime look cool.
	Not for free anyway.
	Jim Nike, imagine in a world where the rich elite own all, control all, and they are kind enough to feed you.
	So you can be confined to your prison without bars.
	That is the future.
	They'll provide you just enough.
	You guys can stay alive.
	Maybe.
	Some of you anyway.
	We need a few people here and there to do some little grunt work for us.
	Just enough so that you don't want to revolt.
	You don't want to get angry and deal with a problem.
	Angry Tiger's Den, put a 50mm Gatling gun, it will strike fear.
	The There's not many problems a 50mm Gatling gun can't solve.
	The larger the caliber around, the more situations it is capable of resolving.
	That's why.
	In fact, why stop there?
	Put the Anzio 20mm anti-material rifle on top of that bad boy and watch as it shoots down everything.
	The PLA Daily Authors referenced Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics, which prohibit robots from harming humans, arguing that militarized humanoid robots clearly violate these principles.
	They proposed overhauling Asimov's framework for military applications, emphasizing that combat robots must adhere to the laws of war by obeying humans, respecting humans, and protecting humans.
	Which seems completely and utterly antithetical to what needs to happen in war.
	And as such, there's going to have to be some compromises made somewhere.
	You can't obey humans, respect humans, and protect humans when there's humans on the other side that you need to get rid of.
	You're going to have to prioritize certain humans.
	You're humans, your side's humans.
	The trio of analysts stressed the need for built-in constraints to prevent excessive force and indiscriminate killing, while cautioning against prematurely replacing human soldiers, noting that robots still lack critical capabilities, including speed, dexterity, and complex terrain navigation.
	Of course, we know that basically every government on the planet is interested in radical depopulation.
	They're all desperate to find ways to reduce the number of people that they have to control.
	They're so eager to get these robots rolled out.
	They don't care if they're not exactly up to par when it comes to not killing innocent civilians.
	If it comes to not using excessive force.
	Oops, sorry.
	Our robot accidentally demolished your house and killed every single one of your family members.
	Mistakes happen.
	You know, it's not a perfect system, but what are you going to do?
	Right?
	That's the future they're working towards.
	If it's effective at killing the enemy troops or even the enemy population, as we see in Gaza, it will be used in war.
	Collateral damage will be completely and utterly acceptable to them.
	Just so long as it does the killing.
	If it's good at killing, it doesn't matter who it kills.
	These people are completely and utterly evil.
	They have no interest in the protection and the sanctity of human life.
	Their entire operation is based around the destruction of life.
	Whether it's poisoning their own population.
	The American government loves to do that, of course.
	We talked about that yesterday, the day before, I can't remember, as the EPA comes out and says, you know what?
	Actually, I think we're going to sue to keep fluoride in the water.
	You guys almost got rid of it, huh?
	You guys thought?
	You guys thought we were going to let it go?
	No, this poison stays in.
	So what are they going to care if the robots are out there mowing down some people in other countries?
	And of course, we all saw what happened with COVID.
	Warp speed, roll out the shots, ventilate people, remdesivir.
	No, you can't see your grandma.
	Sure, she's dying because of what we did to her, and these are all made-up rules.
	They just materialize somewhere somehow, but no, we're not going to let you in.
	That's dangerous.
	Sure, she's dying anyway, but she's going to have to die alone.
	These people do not care in the slightest.
	They're not going to care at all when the robots end up being completely and utterly amoral and only good for destruction.
	Well, we are almost out of time.
