	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's the 21st of August, Year of Our Lord 2025.
	Today we're going to take a look at a mixed bag of good and bad news about the climate macguffin.
	Yes, they are still tearing our grid apart like gremlins on a plane.
	But there's a couple of positive moves that are happening with it.
	We're going to take a look also at more politics.
	It is now rumored that there is rampant hypocrisy about the LGBT within the GOP.
	Who would have thought that the party that protects pedophiles, whether it's Jeffrey Epstein or whether it's this Israeli cybersecurity guy, who would have thought that they would be closeted?
	So we're going to be right back.
	Stay with us.
	��
	�� Well, I want to wish Travis a happy birthday.
	Today is his birthday and he's working on his birthday.
	Thank you, thank you.
	Thank you, Travis.
	Where would you like to start here?
	I'll give you the choice.
	Make a wish.
	Let's go with the green agenda stuff.
	That's all started.
	Okay, that's why I started, I guess.
	Yeah, we have the USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins was in Tennessee for the state fair.
	And she made an announcement that they're going to stop funding solar panels all over fertile farmland.
	Did you know they were doing that?
	The USDA was actually subsidizing solar panels to destroy farmland.
	Yeah, feed the AI but don't feed the humans.
	That's really what this is all about.
	Who knew they were doing this?
	And I talked about this in the UK.
	And we showed pictures of the massive numbers of solar panels there that are just covering everything.
	It's truly amazing.
	So the USA will no longer subsidize that, putting solar panels on productive farmland to destroy it, or allow solar panels manufactured by foreign adversaries to be used in department projects.
	They're still going to be subsidizing it, but they'll be subsidizing it with taxpayer money for American crony capitalism.
	That's what they'll be doing.
	So that's the good news from Brooke Rollin.
	Noting how solar panels on farmland nationwide have increased nearly 50% since 2012.
	Let's see, who have the presidents been since 2012?
	Trump was one of them, and he didn't do.
	anything to stop the solar farms replacing food farms.
	I've mentioned this before, but my wife and I go back to Texas to visit her family fairly frequently.
	And along the side of the road, a lot of the time, there's just these giant farm fields, and I've seen so many solar panels in them now, you know, things I never used to see when we were a kid.
	We took quite a few cross country trips when we were younger, and it was just something you didn't see.
	You know, you'd occasionally see those giant windmills because they've been around a long time.
	And that really creates this strange illusion when you're driving because they're so big, it creates a strange perception.
	Am I getting any closer to this at all?
	Don Quijote's mind would have buggled at them.
	Yeah, this is When you look at it, it's yet another cost that people have not really factored into it.
	Solar panels and the fact that they are getting rid of farmland, getting rid of trees, forests and things like that, cutting them down in order to put solar panels up.
	It's another one of these things that really hasn't gotten sufficient exposure.
	And that's a cost everyone has to pay the increase in food costs as they replace these fields.
	And food costs are exploding.
	The thing is that when you look at all these different things, even the fact that the wind and solar does not have the kind of inertia that power generators did, and that's created a whole new level of problems.
	If they're concerned about warming, getting rid of trees is the wrong thing to do.
	But of course, that's now starting to become the new fashion.
	We have to cut down the trees and bury them.
	I wonder why they made that switch.
	Could it be because they want to support putting solar panels out in various places?
	I don't know.
	Having funerals for trees now.
	Well, Bill Lee made a statement, the governor of Tennessee, saying, yeah, we're going to stop doing this.
	But what he really needs to do is he really needs to tell the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, to stop going down this renewable thing.
	These are people who, the upper echelon of the TVA, are getting paid literally millions of dollars.
	The CEO got paid like eight or nine million dollars salary.
	It's obscene the kind of money that this power company that is part government and part private.
	It's this weird thing, kind of like the Federal Reserve and the CDC.
	But they're moving very quickly to put in battery energy storage sites, BES.
	This is what Elon Musk is selling, and these are massive conglomerations of batteries which, guess what?
	They can spontaneously combust and burn all of our homes and forest land and farms down all at the same time.
	But they're taking a victory lap for the USDA, saying it's a testament to the Department's determination and taxpayer support for unaffordable, unreliable green energy sources.
	and ensure that the supply chain consists of American products and manufacturing.
	Well, we'll see if they can still manufacture them with the tariffs in place.
	But just like the UK, the U.S. is imposing renewable energy and charges consumers for creating unreliable and costly energy supply.
	And the largest regional transmission organization in the United States is one that involves Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland interconnection.
	It began with just those three states, but now it provides the power for 13 states.
	All are part of the power for 13 different states.
	They call it PJM as in Pennsylvania, Jersey, and Maryland.
	And now what is happening with it, part of it seems kind of like the tariff issues that Trump had, where there's this additional layer of problems that are brought on by the indecision as to whether or not he's going to move forward with the tariffs or what level it's going to be.
	That's what they're coming up with with the renewables.
	They said it's reliance on renewables that's created a juggling act with a backlog of projects waiting for transmission lines, waiting for grid storage, that wonderful battery energy storage system that Musk wants to do, and higher costs and reduced reliability for consumers.
	See, one of the things is when you start building these remote power generation areas like the solar farms or windmill farms, you got to run the power lines out to it.
	And when they did that in Texas to make the grid unreliable there, it cost billions of dollars that were paid for by the state to subsidize these formerly oil rich billionaires who then jumped over into the quote unquote renewable.
	They wanted to run the power lines out to them so they could sell power and make profits.
	It's an amazing grift.
	It's an amazing scam.
	The green scam is what caused the massive Texas freeze.
	Well, not the freeze itself, but the problems.
	with it.
	There's these windmills up and we're relying on them for power.
	Yeah.
	And they play these word games like, oh, well, technically the windmill didn't freeze.
	It was the propane that would defrosh the windmill that froze.
	Or we didn't, we didn't pay for the option that would have defrosted it because we didn't think we'd need it, you know, that type of thing.
	Yeah.
	Either way, it's an issue with the windmills themselves.
	You don't have these issues with the power plants.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	When we first moved to Texas, they were real busy.
	shutting down power plants that were fully functional, had a lot of life left in them, but they were using coal and oil, which Texas has an abundance of the oil.
	But this is something, this is an article from the UK, and they point out.
	that as much as they've seen this in the UK, it's also happening in the U.S. It's happening everywhere.
	They said a similar plan is being followed on both sides of the Atlantic.
	Are we seeing the rollout of a global plan or is it just a coincidence?
	I think it's a conspiracy, frankly.
	The media has been talking extensively about New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's energy plan, saying it will do little, if anything, to quote unquote, save the planet.
	And it's a bad idea and will, in fact, unnecessarily raise electricity prices for millions.
	Here's a headline example, a green new headache.
	Democrats flee governor's green energy master plan as election approaches.
	Insane energy policies are set to burn Democrats in New Jersey and New York.
	Also, what makes Jersey run?
	Your growing energy bill is a growing issue in the governor's race.
	The question is, when are people going to push back against this?
	It's actually a regional transmission organization.
	It doesn't have any power lines.
	It doesn't have any power plants.
	It has no substations.
	It's kind of like an air traffic controller of the grid coordinating the flow of electricity across eighty eight thousand miles of high voltage transmission, managing more than fourteen hundred power generators and pulling the levers of gigantic energy marketplaces where utilities buy electricity delivered to your living room.
	And part of why this is exploding so quickly in cost, and it has exploded, it's gone from twenty nine ninety two per megawatt per day to three hundred twenty nine megawatts per day.
	It's three hundred twenty nine dollars megawatts per megawatt day for twenty twenty six.
	So it's gone from twenty nine dollars to three hundred.
	That, folks, is an 11-fold increase.
	And what is causing that is not that the cost of electricity has gone up, but it's a lot of uncertainty costs.
	As I said before, it's very much like the tariffs that are out there.
	We have a government that's going to operate by fiat and tell people, do this, make this happen, and do it now.
	whether or not it can happen.
	And it's created chaos and confusion throughout our economy from the tariffs to the power generation.
	They said, suddenly, one-fifth of your bill is just capacity, meaning a backup for things that don't work when it's cloudy, when it's..
	calm or when it's dark right so if the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining you got to have backup and that's where Musk comes in he's going to make tremendous amounts of money for his backup capacity so New Jersey like every other green leader is retiring gas plants and nuclear units as a matter of policy.
	I thought they had just given their new seal of approval to nukes so that they could have AI power, but that's still not they haven't gotten the memo in Jersey yet, I guess.
	They're pinning their hopes on renewables.
	that still don't have transmission lines or grid storage.
	There is a 143 gigawatt backlog, like the professor would say, gigawatts, Marty.
	That's huge.
	And their project queue, most of it wind and solar, waiting for approval and to even get started building it.
	And so there's lawsuits, there's bureaucrats, there's regulatory things that have to be done before they can get this stuff moved.
	And there's that kind of indecision, that expense.
	And even without that stuff there, they have jumped the electricity prices by 11 times higher.
	Now tell us in the wild card the AI data center gold rush.
	What used to be a footnote on the demand page now accounts for 4% of total load with a straight trajectory to 12% by 2030.
	In other words, it's going to triple as well.
	And so you've got to pull out all the stops and rush this stuff through, grease it with extra money so that we can have sufficient capacity for AI to grow.
	That's only going to increase the cost as you try to do it faster and faster.
	It's truly just amazing because it'd be bad enough it was simply going to be sucking up all the energy for non-nefarious purposes but these things are going to be used to track us and control us at all times so not only are they going to deny you air conditioning, but what they're going to deny you for is also going to restrict your freedoms.
	They're going to crush you in multiple ways.
	The AI data centers are going to be such a burden and a blight on the American people.
	Yeah, the average bill there in that area that's served by PJM is now 20% higher than the national average.
	It's going to soar even more.
	And business owners are seeing $2,800 monthly charges for mid-size operations.
	All the while, billions in clean energy projects offshore, wind, storage farms, hydrogen pilots are being canceled.
	cancelled nationwide.
	$14 to $22 billion in 2025 alone were cancelled due to political uncertainty and people looking hard at the real cost of these renewables as well as the vanishing tax credits and the politics involved in it.
	These things would never exist if it was market-driven.
	If it was driven by efficiency and competition, they would never exist.
	And it is all based on a phony crisis.
	That's the worst thing.
	What is the worst thing about this?
	The fact that they're going to use the AI stuff that's going to really ramp this up.
	to surveil us or the fact that this is all just a funny MacGuffin.
	The energy is used to spy on us and in such small portions too.
	Yeah, that's kind of the joke about the two old ladies who came out of the restaurant.
	One said, the food was horrible.
	The other one said, yes, and in such small portions as well.
	The electricity is unreliable.
	And yes, and it's so expensive as well.
	This is the state of where we are right now.
	We see that they're bragging about pulling back the green MacGuffin, and yet not all of that is under the control of the federal government.
	Much of it is happening because the federal government has subsidized and pushed that.
	And so just pulling back some of the subsidies as the Trump administration is doing is a positive thing.
	Because if he subsidizes the stuff as he did with the COVID so-called pandemic, that is what really makes it happen.
	And it was these subsidies from Biden and from Congress with their, what was their acronym?
	It wasn't the big, beautiful bill.
	It was Build Back Better.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, it was like IRS or something like that.
	Anyway, these bills that they put in there.
	If they subsidize it, it will be built one way or the other.
	Even if it never gets finished, they will pour that money into it and they will do a lot of damage.
	In the UK, people are starting to get concerned about Tesla's battery energy storage sites as well.
	Thousands are objecting to Tesla's bid to supply energy to UK homes.
	Now there, they're not so much worried about the true issues, which are an astronomical cost and a massive fire risk.
	There, they are just opposing it because they don't like Elon Musk anymore.
	The company applied for a license last month to the energy regulator to start supplying power to homes and businesses in England, Scotland, Wales as soon as next year.
	And they have online polls where people are pushing back, demanding that this not be built.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk about how much energy does do these AI programs actually use you'll be surprised actually and it turns out that the they're not getting more efficient they're getting more power hungry so it's going to be even worse with the later generations.
	We do have some comments if you want to get to the most of them.
	We have North American House Hippo.
	Thank you very much.
	That is very generous.
	We appreciate it.
	He says there was an electric bus fire at the Universal Bus Yard last month.
	Fortunately it happened in the middle of the day, so other buses were on the road.
	Because there were no nearby buses for the fire to spread to, it never got to the B, the best out buildings.
	It would have been unfortunate.
	Nevertheless, the fire was spectacular.
	That was a near miss right there.
	Yeah.
	That's there have been so many of these entire bus stations that have burned down in Germany and France that they pulled back on that stuff.
	And by the way, you know, you're talking about having a fire.
	There was a fire of a tractor trailer that was pulling several electric vehicles to the marketplace, and that was a big mess.
	I mean, not as big a mess as the massive transport ships.
	where you have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of luxury cars go down the drain literally because they can't put the fire out.
	Electric fire, some of the electric cars caught fire.
	But this was a tractor trailer, 18-wheeler, pulling, towing a lot of electric cars, and one of them caught fire, and they all caught fire.
	And we see that over and over and over again.
	It keeps happening.
	It's one of those things where anyone that's actually paying attention knows about it, but you don't really hear about it on the news, it seems like.
	don't mention it.
	Well, it's something that...
	It's a tremendous flaw in the technology.
	And if they're going to have battery driven cars, they need to wait until they got a reliable, safe battery to put it in there.
	And the problem is these battery energy storage sites that they're hatching to the grid are even worse than the cars that are because they're much, much, much larger.
	I mean, even just the little electric scooters in New York are burning down buildings.
	Yeah, and electric bikes as well.
	That's the thing, you know, if everything else to do with an electric car, you can turn off autopilot, you can avoid the other issues with it, but this is simply just, it's a grenade, you don't know when it's going to go off or if it's going to go off.
	You might get one and it's perfectly fine and it never has any issues, or maybe you get one and it burns your house down the first night you bring it home.
	Whatever the flaw is, they haven't figured it out and they don't know.
	And it can be a slight injury.
	can have like a little a small little fender bender and that might compromise the battery and this is why the insurance rates are going sky high they have to replace all that stuff because if there's some small Yeah, and then you have to actually trust that they were able to figure out where the flaw was.
	You have to trust that your mechanic knows exactly what to look for in all of these spots.
	You have a minor issue with a gasoline car and chances are you'll be fine.
	Maybe you need to take it back in, get some more work done.
	Maybe it's leaking oil or something like that, but it's not going to explode in the middle of the night and burn your house down.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, and that's the other thing too.
	A lot of these flaws in this new technology, like range issues and the high cost., those are things that the person who wants to buy it can make that decision whether they want that or not.
	Because there are some advantages to electric cars.
	And so they can make that tradeoff as to whether they want to do it.
	But this whole thing about spontaneous combustion and the uncontrollable fires, that affects everybody.
	And it also, by the way, affects the environment.
	And it's dumping all those chemical gases into the air and the liquids into the top soil.
	But they don't care about that.
	They don't care about the rockets.
	And they just the rockets go up, the rockets come down.
	They got to escape to Mars because they're, you know, we're poisoning the planet.
	We're going to Mars though.
	Don't worry.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, the Trump administration just relaxed the rules for rockets going up in terms of whatever emission rules that they had with it.
	I got some more comments.
	KWD 68 says, Save the Earth, or we'll have a silent spring or another ice age, or the ozone layer will fail, or we'll have acid rain, or we'll have global warming.
	It goes on and on and on.
	Yeah, they'll come up.
	They got one McGuffin after the other.
	She also says, parts of Kentucky set up for wildfires, no rain in weeks, later day could be rough.
	Labor Day.
	Labor Day.
	My apologies.
	Then we have some happy birthday wishes.
	Well, that's very kind.
	Denver Attaway says Happy Birthday, BL Houghton, Be My Valentine, KWD 68, Brandon Bennett, Mama C 1996, Mluten Malenkavic, Occulty Sim, mister Palm, and For Love of the Road says Anniversary of the First Show 2, eh?
	Happy Eight Years.
	Was it really?
	I didn't realize it was on my birthday actually.
	I wasn't sure, but Karen had said the other day when I said, We're getting close to the eight-year anniversary of the show.
	She said, It began on Travis' birthday.
	I said, Yeah, I remember, I thought it was close to it, but yeah, Ryan would know.
	He keeps up with that better than I do.
	Y'all are better at keeping track of this stuff than we are.
	But yeah, here we are.
	It's pretty close to having an eight-year anniversary when we went to two people on the show.
	It's almost, the show's going to be 10 years old soon.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Oh, to look around at the patch of ground Known as Mother Nature's sin Though it's horrible to visit It's a miserable place to live It's a
	miserable place to live It's a
	miserable place to live You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	I'm just telling Travis, his son really likes that song there, Palladio.
	Whenever that comes on, he sets up and takes notice.
	It might be because I've played a lot of string orchestras for him.
	I got Mozart's Eine Kleine night music.
	I thought it was funny.
	I thought, let me get this is the little knight.
	Let me give him some little night music.
	He's getting cultured over here, making sure that he's better taste than I do.
	It does, it does grab his attention, especially if he's got a video that shows the people actually playing it.
	You know, he really likes that.
	Also, I want to apologize.
	Apparently I misspoke and I called KWD 68 to she.
	Sorry.
	My apologies.
	I got not much sleep last night.
	Little guy has been going through some sleep regression.
	He's been making it kind of difficult.
	So, he's got my apologies.
	He's got Mozart playing in his mind.
	Okay, so how much energy does a Chat GPT consume when it's processing a prompt?
	It turns out the energy consumption for the newest version of Chat GPT is significantly higher than previous models.
	It could be up to 20 times more energy intensive than the first version.
	Here we go.
	I mean, we're seeing stuff growing by leaps and bounds.
	Electricity rates are going up by a factor of 11.
	The energy requirements for the chats are going up by a factor of 20.
	It's amazing.
	The prices of things are going up, but our salaries are not.
	There is a severe lack of transparency regarding energy use and environmental impact of the AI models.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Because these are the people who are so freaked out about it all, but they want to keep that hidden.
	That should tell you something as well.
	So we can have the government have.
	energy standards for everything from cars to air conditioning, but they're not going to have any energy standards for AI.
	They don't even want you to know what these things use.
	So it's not going to have that little sticker on it like you see for your refrigerator or your washing machine or something.
	How much energy does it use?
	The answer is, well, a whole lot is about the closest they can go.
	They said academics are trying to quantify the energy use for queries, but it is considerably higher than it was for previous models.
	There are no mandates coming from the Department of Energy or the EPA that would force AI companies to disclose their energy use or their environmental impact.
	No, it's all just going to be swept under the carpet for their purposes because understand the government wants what AI brings to the table, surveillance and control.
	It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes, yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics.
	No emission factors.
	Nothing, said one person.
	It's not mandated, it's not regulated.
	Given where we are with the climate crisis, said one of them, it should be the top agenda for regulators everywhere.
	This is a person who hasn't gotten under the fact.
	that the climate crisis is not real.
	And this is one of the things I think really sticks out about this.
	Clearly, the government is not worried about this.
	Clearly, the government doesn't see this as an existential crisis.
	The climate part of it is.
	But you should see AI as an existential crisis because it is.
	It shows that the government doesn't believe it, and it shows that these people that are pushing for more regulation about it don't believe it.
	And what does that tell you?
	It's kind of like how so many billionaires are socialists.
	Clearly, they don't think socialism is going to be bad for them, and clearly these billionaires don't think the green.
	agenda is going to hurt them.
	That's right.
	And it's not just electricity, it's the water that uses as well.
	And we said this for the longest time about NSA when they built their Bluffdale, Utah facility to store all this information until they were able to come around with data mining to be able to make sense of it.
	You know, for the longest time, the federal government has been saving everything that you do, the Life Log, if you will, project or Facebook or whatever.
	But they're saving everything on the internet so they can at some point in the future when the computers are fast enough and the software is smart enough, they can go back and collate all that data mining and tag you.
	Experts from outside the OpenAI Fold have estimated that ChatGPT-5 may use as much as 20 times more energy as the first version of ChatGPT.
	At the very least, it would be several times more, they said.
	And while all that is happening and electricity prices are soaring, vegetables are up nearly 40%.
	Coffee is up 25%.
	Electricity prices are rising twice as fast as inflation.
	The question is, why?
	And there's a lot of different theories about this.
	Some of this is due to the tariffs.
	Some of it, in terms of vegetables, many people are saying, well, we're having fewer vegetables come in because we don't have the people to harvest them because of the immigration enforcement.
	So there's a lot of different things that are happening here.
	But the reality is that, as we all know, prices are going up, whether or not the government will admit it with its phony numbers or not.
	They're trying to hide that just like ChatGPT is trying to hide its energy usage.
	And in the face of all of that, Trump is manically trying to get the Federal Reserve to drop interest rates.
	I think it's kind of interesting to see his latest move to try to get rid of a Fed governor that was put in by Biden who has turned out to be a real hawk which is probably more political than it is from an economic standpoint.
	I mean this person is probably, so they're appointed by Biden, they're probably a modern monetary theorist that doesn't, which is Keynesianism on steroids, but They will sit there very carefully and say, no, no, no, we can't lower interest rates because it would politically be what Trump wants.
	Now, it's not going to help us if they lower the interest rates.
	It's going to kick inflation into higher gear and it's going.
	to not lower the interest rates on things like homes and cars because those are going to be put out there by people who have to make a profit.
	They can do fiat interest rates in the Federal Reserve that they charge to banks.
	They can do that by fiat and just raise it or lower it.
	But the other people are looking at what they think inflation is going to be.
	And they're going to offer you rates on homes and cars and other things like that based on their perception of the inflation rate.
	So the real figure is 38.9%.
	Trump's stats are lying.
	They don't include electricity because electricity is only weighed in as 3% of the costs, I pointed out the other day.
	So they have all these different tricks that they've put in to manipulate the price of, or the costs, I should say, of various things and manipulate the overall inflation rate.
	Coffee exports from Brazil were already hit with a 50% tariff, even though they were already up by 25%.
	They just hit them with a 50% tariff.
	And that has not kicked in yet because they have contracts that are there.
	So that tariff rate has not kicked in.
	And the tariff, this tariff on coffee is simply to protect Trump's friend Bolsonaro.
	And look, I disagree with the idea that you're going to lock up your opponents if you win the election.
	And that's what's going on there in Brazil.
	But nevertheless, when you look at the way these things are being set up, they don't help the American consumer.
	Coffee prices rose sharply, 25% of the past three months.
	About two-thirds of U.S. adults drink coffee, one of the most basic things that Americans buy.
	And then when you look at electricity, like I said before, you look at Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, down into D.C. where there's a massive amount of electricity.
	And when you start looking at what the median family income is, it turns out that that's a pretty big part of the budget.
	If you take a look at the median family income, and I think it's still around $50,000 roughly, somebody's paying $500 a month, that's 12% of their budget.
	That's not 3%, which is what the government uses to calculate that.
	But the thing is, when we look at the cost of food skyrocketing, the cost of electricity skyrocketing, as I said before, the only thing that they're interested in feeding is AI.
	They're interested in feeding their power and their tyranny, and they're not interested in feeding people.
	This is all set up to come after people.
	And so MSN News is saying, well, after AI replaces most humans' jobs, then what do we do?
	Well, of course, the answer is universal basic income.
	That's where these people have been for the longest time.
	Elon Musk, as well as Bloomberg, talking about that.
	You know, it sounds like Marxism.
	And the technocracy is not Marxism, but it shares many of the same components.
	As a matter of fact, so much so that George Gilder in his book said that he called the people in Silicon Valley, he called them neo-Marxists because he said they have the same fundamental flaw that Karl Marx did, which was to imagine that because of the Industrial Revolution, Karl Marx said, well, we have infinite capacity.
	We're post-scarcity.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No more scarcity.
	All we have to do is justly allocate these resources.
	I'm going to let government allocate these resources.
	That's the basic premise of communism.
	And George Gilder said, that's the same thing that these idiots in Silicon Valley think.
	They think that they have infinite capacity to produce material goods, and all they have to do is just allocate that to you with universal basic income.
	It's a very arrogant and arrogantly dangerous and stupid idea, Truly.
	We have a clip, actually, while we're talking about Karl Marx, Karl Marx and Satan, the connection between the two of them.
	This is an interview that was conducted by Jordan Peterson.
	And I want you to hear just how satanic the person, Karl Marx, was.
	And we have seen this over and over again from people who have dedicated their book, Solensky dedicated his book to Satan, the original rebel, another communist, authoritarian.
	The poems that he wrote that were pans to Mephistopheles, is that after he becomes an atheist?
	No, his writings, so the first one was 1837, wrote another in 1841.
	He wrote a bunch of them.
	And he did, he did just a chilling play called Ulanem.
	Yes.
	O-U-L-A-N-E-M.
	And people that are watching this, if they now type into their computer, Ulanem, even in Google, it'll pop up, play by Karl Marx.
	It even has a Wikipedia entry.
	And let me warn people, you might not want to do this, but if you click the images button, you will see, I mean, there's some satanic stuff up there from like, not heavy metal, but like black metal groups.
	So Ulanem is an anagram for Emmanuel.
	or Manuelo.
	Right.
	So Marx takes Emmanuel, which is the name given to Christ, or Manuelo, and he flips it into this anagram called Ulanem.
	And it's this chilling play.
	The main character is Lucindo, Lucindo, LUCINDO.
	And you just can't believe what you're reading.
	with this play.
	So that was written later in the 1840s.
	So really the prime of his writing, including the decade when he wrote the Communist Manifesto, is also the same decade when he was writing these poems.
	And plays.
	And throughout his life, his kids and others would say, yeah, he had a favorite line always from Mephistopheles.
	Everything that exists deserves to perish.
	So that remains a part of him throughout his life.
	Sounds like Klaus Schwab, doesn't it?
	My son, Edgar, has a letter where he just...
	Yeah.
	Which I don't know.
	Maybe it's playful.
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Although I would never, you know, call my dad my dear devil.
	His wife called him my wicked knave.
	I quote Henrik Heinzhen.
	referring to him as a goblin to try to take me under his spell.
	Other cases of where he's using that kind of language.
	When Ingalls first met him, he describes him as this dark man from Trier who hops and leaps and springs on his heels, the monster of 10,000 devils, he describes him.
	And the letter from his father, which was written in 1837, a year before his father died.
	So his father writes to him, March 2, 1837.
	Carl, at times my heart delights in thinking of you and your fortune.
	And yet at times I cannot rid myself of ideas which arouse in me sad forebodings and fear when I am struck as if by lightning by the thought, is your heart in accord with your head, your talents?
	Has there room for the earthly but gentler sediments which in this veil of sorrow, it's a beautiful letter in many ways, are essentially consoling for a man of feeling?
	And then this question from the father of Karl Marx to his, to his, at this point, 18-year-old son.
	And since that heart, Carl, is obviously animated and governed by a demon, not granted to all men, is that demon heaven?ly, or Faustian?
	Yeah, have you sold your soul?
	That's pretty amazing.
	Yeah, such darkness there and that philosophy.
	You know, these philosophies really do matter.
	That's how they take captive our mind.
	And that really is where the war is.
	The secularists called it a mind war.
	Christians call it a spiritual war.
	It's a fight for your mind and what you think.
	And we know which side Karl Marx and his followers have embraced.
	The interesting thing is, as we look at this, and people are seeing.
	something that is kind of a hybrid of a lot of these different aspects, and that is technocracy now.
	So a lot of people look at it and say, is technocracy fascism?
	Is it communism?
	And many others have been calling themselves now saying, it's communitarianism.
	You know, in the same way, these labels are used to confuse people.
	Many of the communists will call themselves socialists or progressive, and yet, you know, you can't really see any difference that is there.
	Wasn't it Vladimir Lenin that said the end goal of socialism is communism?
	You know, it's a stepping stone.
	That's how you get there.
	You seldom on this light version of it.
	Yeah.
	And then you work your way towards the full deal.
	Well, it's authoritarianism that culminates in totalitarianism, and that's why, you know, you can talk about fascism versus communism.
	The difference is the path that you take to get to totalitarianism.
	So an order of operations sort of deal, you know?
	Yeah, exactly.
	So you have Technocracy News.
	has an article about the difference in this new label that they're using to try to confuse people.
	So what we're talking about.
	He says when technocrats want to shield their technocratic policies, they intentionally do so in the language of communitarianism.
	So yeah, we're not communists., we're socialists, or we are progressives.
	He says, one example of this is smart cities.
	The technocratic policy, of course, is urban planners who lock you into a small controlled area, restricting your movements and that type of thing.
	Surveillance, digital ID, algorithmic resource allocation.
	made by unelected, unaccountable technical experts and private sector consultants.
	That's the reality.
	So how do they frame this to say this is about communitarianism?
	Because, you know, we like communities.
	We want to have communities.
	Well, policymakers will frequently describe these initiatives as advancing inclusive urban communities yes inclusive it's like inclusive like a you're going to be included in a prison or an open air prison or something as empowering local groups or as in building public trust through collective digital transformation the emphasis is on community driven sustainability shared public spaces and strengthening community ties And
	going back to the very beginning of this, when they were going around, when it was still Agenda 21, they would use a tactic that was developed by the RAND Corporation, and they would go into a community, tell people, come in, we want to have your input on the things that we want to do.
	It's going to help the community.
	So they gave it kind of this, they didn't call it specifically communitarianism, but they would come in, they already had their agenda set.
	And they would have the facilitators would be the people who are actually in control.
	They would ask you for your input, but they already had the conclusion was pre-written.
	And so it was just a beard, a facade to try to get people to think that even if they didn't agree with the conclusion, that was what was agreed to by the rest of the group.
	It's called the Delphi principle.
	And so they've been doing this communitarianism for quite some time.
	Another example of this course is public health.
	We're going to do this all to you to help the community, right?
	And we know exactly how that worked in the 2020s.
	Help you ride into your cell.
	Yeah.
	He said, if you've ever read Walden 2 by BF Skinner, you know everything about communitarianism that you need to know.
	The story, by the way, ended very horribly.
	Communitarianism is a political and social philosophy that places primary emphasis on the importance of the community, just as we saw with the public health scam, right?
	You have to inject the Kool-Aid poison for the good of the community.
	The common good, social relationships, all shape individual identity, values, and moral judgments.
	It asserts that people's identities are molded by their social environment and their community ties rather than by individualism.
	Forget about individuality, your personhood, even your soul.
	Communitarianism sees the community as an end in and of itself.
	And so the reality is, is they don't care about consensus.
	They don't care about the common good or about social adhesion, they have their own agenda.
	And again, probably the best way that we can understand this is by what was rolled out on us under Trump in 2020 with a fake pandemic.
	And so Palantir, Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir, and Alex Carp, as he points out, Palantir is the master.
	of these tactics on the battlefield and in civilian life.
	And so if you say that technocracy, if you talk about it in a negative way, they will turn it towards communitarianism, but it's not the same thing.
	Technocracy is not even, in its reality, is not even concerned with the good of the community.
	It's only concerned with the good of a few oligarchs who are running this whole thing.
	So they will always come up with their labels in order to see people, and they will hide it as well.
	One of the examples we have is Doge and its AI tool is now going to take a buzz saw to federal regulations.
	Now, I would have always cheered any buzz saw being taken to federal regulations.
	Remember when we did that video that had a congressional candidate who was going to he did a stunt and basically he would take the income tax code and feed it through a wood chipper and he contacted the the IRS and they couldn't tell him how many pages it was and they couldn't send him as many pages as it was their best estimate that was at the time something like seventy thousand pages of regulations.
	It's great to know that even the people there don't know what's on the books.
	And so what he did was he took the approximate number that they could come up with and he got the equivalent in phone books and he fed it through a wood chipper.
	Actually, we filmed it for him.
	It was at a candidates meeting, and it truly was amazing.
	And I would be all in favor of taking a buzzsaw to all these regulations.
	They're growing by leaps and bounds every year and have been for many, many Republican and Democrat administrations, including Trump's.
	But the problem is, what are they going to replace it with?
	Doge actually has a successor called RAGE, which stands for Replace All Government Employees.
	that's what I said this was about from the very beginning.
	I've never seen this acronym before.
	But you could tell from what Musk wanted to do, he wanted to fire government employees and replace them with what?
	When replace them with AI.
	And so I said he's going to minimize government employees and he is going to maximize government.
	AI is going to be able to glean the details of your life far more comprehensively than any group of people could do.
	And so I don't see this as an improvement.
	I see this as a jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire quite frankly.
	Yeah, as I said before, my biggest concern is just the fact that when you get rid of the human element, there's no longer a sing chance for mercy at all.
	That's right.
	Sure, the people who work in the government are generally not going to give it to you, but there's a small chance.
	There's always the potential that you'll come across someone that may empathize with you and be able to look at you and say, Okay.
	Well, Joe Bannister's case is a good example of that.
	He was he worked for the IRS as a criminal investigator and he started asking some questions as he was investigating some of these people that they were coming after as criminals because they looked at the IRS code and said, But wait a minute, you haven't done this legally.
	He came across some arguments they thought were pretty valid and so he asked his supervisor and supervisor says, Don't talk about that.
	You know, shut him down.
	So that got his curiosity even more.
	As he looked at it more and more, he started asking more questions.
	But he eventually left and they eventually attacked him.
	But before that happened, there was an IRS agent.
	And again, this is the human element.
	The guy didn't like Joe Bannister because as a criminal investigator, he got to carry a gun, he got paid more, he got to get out of the office and drive around outside instead of being bound into a cubicle or whatever.
	And so, and every year, the criminal investigators had to be audited.
	When this guy audited him, he came up with a big number of underpayment that he said Joe needed to pay plus penalties plus interest and all the rest of the stuff.
	And he knew he didn't know that.
	So he appealed it and he got some other people who didn't have a problem with him and looked at it objectively.
	And yet, you know, when you look at it, you would think they're going to assault you.
	Oh, well, this is AI, it's going to be objective.
	It's not going to have a vendetta to come after you.
	No, it'll have a vendetta that is built in there based on your political or religious background.
	And whoever is in control of the AI at that moment can make it do whatever it wants.
	Whatever data they put in is whatever data it will come out.
	If they tell it, we believe this guy is a threat to our security, make sure that he is punished in an acceptable way.
	However, they phrase it.
	They'll be able to get whatever kind of output they want.
	And the AI won't give you its training data.
	You're not going to be able to audit it.
	That's right.
	Well, they have a new AI program.
	The guy who led this is his name is Sweet.
	And he is someone who just got out of college.
	Actually, I don't know if he even graduated.
	Until recently, he was a third year student at the University of Chicago, so he may have left early.
	But very young guy, and Christopher Sweet has put this project together, and it's going to be an AI review.
	They call it the DAIP, the Sweet Recs DAIP, which stands for Deregulation AI Plan Builder.
	Again, as I said, we would all support deregulation.
	It is like a boa constrictor and it's choking everything, except when you look at what the long-term goal of these people are.
	They said they're likely to use this tool to eliminate up to 50% of federal regulations by January the 26th.
	So again, we should feed these regulations in the wood chipper, but I'm afraid they're going to feed us in the wood chipper if we get rid of humans in the process and move to a ruthless AI.
	That's the kind of Terminator I'm worried about.
	The Terminator's got built-in biases from our human masters.
	One of the things is also part of the reason one of the only arguments for AI is the sheer number of laws and the complexity of them.
	If you're able to pair these down, if you're able to send fifty percent of them to the woodchipper and then maybe another fifty percent and pair it down to a reasonable level, then you can actually have a reasonable state where a human being can look through these things and make judgments on them.
	That's right.
	If we've got two hundred thousand federal regulations, no, there's no way.
	Any amount of human beings can actually know what's on the books and give you a fair reasoning on any of it.
	So yeah, the AI would be better at scanning through these and actually cataloging what's there.
	But if you pair it down, again, you could actually have a reasonable bureaucracy.
	Not that I mean, you've got a government created problem, okay, that they're then going to exacerbate with their quote unquote solution.
	Problem fixing reaction solution.
	Original problem.
	Yeah, we didn't have that.
	When we had Jefferson and others, they had a government that was small enough to actually be legitimate and fit in the Constitution.
	We have a massive illegitimate government that resembles a Byzantine empirere with its bureaucracy.
	I totally wonder what Jefferson or Washington would say if you were to tell them we had 200,000 regulations.
	They would say we're slaves.
	They would be right, wouldn't they?
	Well, before we take a break, we've got some comments here if you wanted to read them.
	Sure.
	Sam Miller, one, two, three.
	Thank you.
	That is very, very generous.
	We really do appreciate it.
	Great day to celebrate.
	Welcome back, David.
	Happy anniversary.
	Happy birthday, Travis.
	Well, thank you.
	Blessings to all.
	My big reveal, I'm a she.
	Well, it's not Sam Miller.
	It's SA Miller, I think.
	Or maybe it's short for Samantha.
	Oh, okay.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	But Skunk Hollow, Rose Gardens, two dollars, one hundred, awesome, yes, thank you very much.
	Sprumford, thank you very much, Sprumford, we appreciate it.
	I've been away from the show for a while.
	It's so great to see you back, mister Knight.
	Love the new setup.
	May Christ continue to bless you and your family.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Yes, thank you.
	And Guard, good to see you Guard, hope you're doing well.
	The book, The Devil and Karl Marx is excellent.
	That sounds like an interesting read.
	Yeah.
	Karen Carpenter, twice.
	Probably kind of like The Devil and Daniel Webster, right?
	Or maybe even They seem like they were the best of friends.
	Karen Carpenter, twenty seven, says also cameras for surveillance don't like trees.
	That's true.
	Trees get in the way of things.
	Assyrian girl.
	Another thing about electric cars, a lot of mechanics around here won't touch them.
	They bring in specialized teams to serve those babies.
	I imagine it's a completely different system than what you have in a combustion engine.
	And as such, you probably need specific tool sets and specific skill sets.
	Well, they've been going in that direction for a very long time, complicating it so that you can't be a shade tree mechanic.
	They've long ago left the world where everything was mechanical.
	And now there's so much electronics and everything that you've got to have special equipment to diagnose it even if you've got an internal combustion engine.
	Yeah, you have to have one of those things you plug in.
	You know, that's one of the interesting things with Miatas.
	There's four different generations of Miatas and they had a company that called Flying Miata and what they would do is they would squeeze in an eight-cylinder engine of these things usually like a Corvette engine.
	The first generation it was a piece of cake.
	Second generation it was still fine.
	Third generation they started having some issues because now there was a lot of electronics in it.
	And now the fourth generation they struggled with that for more than a year.
	They had to bring in special people to help them to do that because everything was connected.
	They said, you know, we would put this in and we thought we had it all connected.
	Now all of a sudden, the windshield wipers are running all the time.
	Everything was interconnected to the electronics.
	Whenever I shipped into fourth, my horn honks for some reason.
	I don't get it.
	Coal 360 forms are so last century.
	That's why we need lab-grown meat and produce from AI bot farms running nuclear water to feed the plants and production.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	We need all these things.
	We can't live without them.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	Communism is just a cover for central control that controllers telling everyone how else to live.
	Yes.
	Sprumford, I think communism isn't the end, it's the means.
	SA Miller, we're going to assume SA now.
	One, two, three.
	Communitarism says slash socialism was practiced in biblical times.
	The big difference was that the people were filled with the Holy Spirit and volunteered, not forced.
	And that's a huge distinction.
	If people want to form their own community and voluntarily work together towards their own common goals and engage in these sorts of practices, that's absolutely fine.
	I have no problem with that.
	It becomes a problem when you send in the men with guns and say, you're giving us this and we're going to redistribute it.
	And it's a heavy, it's a heavy li load for Christians even to do it.
	Sorry, Lance.
	I see people conflate the two, and it's just a false equivalence because it's just the difference between theft and charity.
	It's the force of government taking it from people versus giving freely.
	Yes.
	It makes all the difference in the world.
	And it's a difficult thing to do.
	It was done in the early church, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and it is something that is very, very difficult for humans to be able to execute.
	we have seen this over and over again through the 1800s you had a lot of As a matter of fact, I remember somebody did a survey and they asked a lot of people, you know, men on the street type of thing, you know, about from each according to his ability and to each according to his need.
	And they asked him where that was from.
	Large number of people thought that was from the Bible.
	And you're right, that does fit if it is voluntary, right?
	But if you got a gun to your head, that's not what we're talking about.
	And that's one of the things that we need to always keep in mind when we look at keeping separate state and church.
	And I say that, I know that's not in the constitution, but I don't want to merge the two.
	Whenever we do that, it always harms.
	Christian life whenever you merge it with politics.
	What happens is you wind up with politics.
	It kills the Christian side of it, and that's what happens with a forced welfare state.
	It kills the Christian side of it, the voluntary giving and the joy of doing that.
	It's now compulsory.
	And the people who are getting the stuff demand it because they say they're entitled to it.
	They don't want to see it as charity.
	They find that to be an offense.
	It robs both parties., one of the party of being able to experience the joy of giving as you said, and the other of the joy of thankfulness for that.
	Of being, you know, entitlement is such a nasty grasping emotion.
	You feel that you deserve this and you should be allowed to take it.
	Whereas being thankful, being able to really sit down and be thankful for what you have been given is such, it's, if you can do that, it's a wonderful, wonderful blessing to be able to see that people have given that to you and that God is the one that inspired them to do that.
	It can be a very, very wonderful thing for both parties.
	That was really driven home to me, like I said, when I got up and spoke against Hillary Care.
	And boy, did they get upset?
	So I talked about charity, you know, and there was, there is, there was, I don't know how it is today with the corporations taking over the medical profession, but back in the day, there were doctors would donate a lot of their time to help people who were poor and, you know, various things like that.
	And we had a society that was built around that.
	That's what Alexis de Tocqueville talked about when he came to America, when he talked about democracy in America.
	The central difference between that and the socialism that he left in France was the fact that the Americans have voluntarily come together and built what was needed.
	So.
	Oh, sorry.
	I was just looking for that book, Democracy in America.
	It's in this room somewhere.
	I saw it just the other day.
	It's in real fine.
	I don't know.
	I know I saw it.
	Democracy in America is somewhere in here.
	It exists.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it is.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	We're not going to look for the book, but we're going to take a quick break and we will be back.
	Stay with us.
	It's on one of the shelves right behind Dad.
	Oh yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, we'll see if we can find it there.
	When we come back, we're going to talk about Trump's move again to the Federal Reserve and why he's doing these things.
	But this is not an illegitimate move that he's talking about with this Fed governor.
	There really is fraud, corruption, and illegal activities.
	We'll talk about that when we come back.
	music
	music You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	music music music music music
	music music music
	music music music music
	music
	You're listening to The David Knights 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 Knights Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support it 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.
	Well, Tony is going to be joining us at the bottom of the hour and we're going to be talking about the Fed and monetary policy.
	But it's kind of interesting to watch the moves that Trump is making against the Federal Reserve.
	He would like to get rid of the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, but he cannot remove him at will.
	In other words, he can't just fire.
	him because he doesn't want him there anymore.
	He has to have a reason.
	And so we saw this back and forth, and the Trump surrogates were also complaining about statements that Powell had made to Congress about their exorbitant remodeling that's going on.
	is yet another example of the kind of corruption and luxury that we see out of Washington.
	They have this incredibly expensive...
	And I looked at that, and as I said, you know, James Clapper lied to the American people under oath when he was talking to Congress.
	and they never filed charges for him.
	The whole thing ended after five years with statute of limitations.
	Nobody ever came after him about that, but they want to because they said, well, there are some differences in the reality and the way that you portrayed this remodeling, and so we want to come after you with that.
	They would like to be able to remove him.
	They can do that for cause.
	So if they can come up with some criminal charges, they could remove Powell.
	But he can't just do it because he wants to get rid of him.
	The same thing is true of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
	And so it is kind of interesting.
	I think they're setting up to remove this Federal Governor, Lisa Cook.
	And it turns out that she actually has committed a crime.
	It was a mortgage fraud.
	And she has responded after Trump tweeted this out, said she needs to resign.
	She tweeted this out and said, I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet.
	I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts.
	So Zero Hedge says, well here's one quick question.
	Did you break the law or not?
	Because she did and there is a paper trail that shows that she did.
	They've produced the documents that she signed.
	Basically, what she did was she falsified bank documents and property records to get more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud under a criminal statute.
	So here's your cause.
	He can't get rid of a lot of these people, but this is one person who, as I said at the beginning of the program, was appointed by Joe Biden.
	You could look at her as a DEI pick, the first black woman to be put into the Federal Reserve, and that's where the people are going to draw the line to defend her.
	But what she did was actually indefensible because it was criminal fraud that she committed with this.
	She has now become a hawk.
	against interest rates and so Trump would like to get her removed.
	So she took out two loans almost at the same time, one of them in Michigan, another one in Atlanta on a condo.
	On both of these, she said they were going to be her primary residence.
	You can only have one primary residence to start with.
	And then two weeks after she got the property in Atlanta, she, sorry, two weeks apart were these two mortgages, and then she put the property in Georgia up for rental, showing that it was not going to be her residence.
	But by making the declaration that it was going to be her primary residence, of course, that gets her better terms on her loan than she would if it was going to be an investment property.
	So they have a clear record for her.
	The letter that was sent out as part of the criminal referral letter includes copies of mortgage documents and her name as well as an apparent rental listing a little over a year after she bought the Georgia property.
	So she buys these two properties two weeks apart, two different states, and then after one year she starts renting the Georgia property.
	So she was nominated to the Fed by Biden, as I said before, and her term does not expire until twenty thirty eight.
	But if she wants to stay there, she better be ready to fight some criminal charges, I think.
	It is they want somebody they can remember.
	They want to remove some of these people.
	And so they are going through their lives with a fine-tooth comb.
	This is what it's like now in Washington.
	You get into office and both the Democrats and the Republicans will look over your life with a fine-tooth comb and try to put you in jail.
	Musk had pledged, this just came out yesterday, we talked about this, that whatever happened to that third party that Musk was talking about.
	Now he's telling people that he wants to get behind J.D. Vance.
	Well, of course he does because J.D. Vance is a technocracy dude that they put in there.
	He's going to be more compliant probably than Trump is for the technocracy.
	Yeah, he's Peter Thiel's boy.
	He's his guy.
	Yeah, he's part of the Peter Thiel mafia.
	Thiel made JD Vance.
	So this is what we're saying yesterday, there's been crickets about third party stuff.
	Well, now, you know, later that day, they spoke about it.
	Musk has told allies that he wants to focus his attention on his companies and he's reluctant to alienate powerful Republicans by starting a third party that could siphon off GOP votes.
	So now he's going to play nice and he's going to get behind JD Vance.
	That's probably going to hurt JD Vance with Trump.
	But yeah, so as we look at this robot, as we move to our robot world in the factories and everything in China, they just had a robot arm that nearly decapitated a man.
	And they said it's probably the surgeons who did it are patting themselves on the back.
	It sounds like it was a horrific thing.
	It essentially internally did decapitate him.
	The only thing that was still connected was some soft tissue.
	It severed his spinal cord and his neck there, his cervical vertebrae.
	Completely severed.
	Critical arteries were damaged, only soft tissue held his head to his body.
	And so he came in, that also caused him to have a heart attack, came in in unbelievably bad condition.
	They talked about how complicated it was for the human surgeons to be able to fix him.
	And this article was kind of interesting on Zero Hedge.
	They immediately go from the dangers of a robotic arm to the dangers of arming robots.
	And they started talking about China using militarized robots.
	That was kind of interesting.
	sequitur, I think, Robot Nearly Decapitates Man, and a Gruesome Surgery Fail.
	And it actually wasn't, the headline is not accurate.
	It wasn't, when I first looked at that, I thought they had robotic surgery that was going on.
	I thought the same thing, too, until I read the article.
	But it was actually, it was an amazing success in terms of surgery.
	And it was not robotic surgery.
	It was a guy who was injured in the factory there.
	If you are online at all, the factory conditions in China, there's tons of videos of people being mangled and killed and just...
	just the conditions they work in are horrific.
	There is no safety standard at all and people are continually being grievously harmed or just, as I said, killed.
	They have no regard for people in China.
	They have a massive population base.
	So if one of them falls into, you know, whatever it is and gets absolutely torn to pieces, well, there's another guy that's waiting for the job right here.
	Well, and there's a long history of the Chinese elite being ruthless and brutally cruel in terms of the people that they govern.
	And it's only become worse when they mix it in with communism.
	It's also amazing.
	China has always had, or seems to have always had, a massive, massive population base.
	You'll read about these small battles that they'll say are small battles that barely have a footnote in history and it'll be like, oh yeah, a hundred thousand people died.
	And it's just, what?
	A hundred thousand dead?
	Ten thousand cannibalized?
	What are you guys doing there?
	Yeah.
	It's part of it's baked into their culture, this disregard for human life.
	Disregard for life in general, you can just kind of see it through, it permeates everything.
	They have this kind of apathy towards existence.
	Someone dies, well, whatever.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So it's been there for a very long time.
	And just real quickly while we're talking about politics, the Trump administration has announced who the new number two at the FBI is going to be.
	And the question is, what?
	is what happened to Bon Gino and there's actually no word about Bon Gino they have announced his successor before they have announced that he is going to be leaving I thought that was kind of funny but that's the way it is in Washington right now this I thought was incredibly interesting the the lawsuit between Smartmatic and Fox Corporation.
	Now, you know, Fox already paid a massive settlement of like three quarters of a billion dollars to the other voting machine company Dominion that Fox was talking about.
	And now the lawsuit between SmartMatic and Fox has started up.
	And as part of discovery, they're getting documents, and some of the documents that were internal conversations in Fox News have been released to the public.
	And I think it gives us an interesting insight.
	These are memos from Janine Pirot, Jesse Waters, Maria Bartiromo.
	They all seem to have different motivations, but the same goal.
	They all wanted to help President Trump.
	As a matter of fact, this one I thought was very interesting.
	This is a memo from Jesse Waters sent to Greg Gutfield, and he said, think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went all in on Stop the Steal.
	Stop the Steal was Alex Jones'thing.
	You know, it was...
	Basically, it was kind of interesting to see that Fox News was so much like...
	Yeah.
	It's so much like Infowars.
	It's all about the audience and it's about the money and it's about the ratings.
	And so, you know, they're going to, uh, this is what Jesse Watters was saying, you know, hey, we could, uh, our ratings would soar if we jumped in on this Stop the Steal stuff.
	And that was exactly the calculus that was going on with Alex Jones and the rest of the stuff.
	And Janine Pierrot, who has now been put in as the attorney for the District of Columbia, said, I work so hard for the president and party.
	And she also mentioned her husband, who had been convicted of tax fraud and some other things.
	And she did get a pardon for him, and she got a position as federal attorney there in D.C. from Alex Jones, but from Donald Trump.
	Hundreds of pages of documents, largely newly unredacted versions of previously released ones filed on Tuesday in the New York State Supreme Court.
	Smartmatic has accused Fox News of knowingly implicating the company in false claims of vote rigging in the 2020 election for ratings.
	And these comments going back and forth seem to support that.
	But of course, on the other side, Fox News is getting records of the history of Smartmatic.
	And as I said before, Smartmatic has a long history of helping Hugo Chavez.
	They've been questioned and there's been hearings and massive controversy in other countries like the Philippppines and in Brazil where they were accused of fraud in those areas.
	That's all a matter of fact and history.
	And Fox could have portrayed it that way.
	But they decided they were going to make this about just sucking up to Trump.
	Another thing that has come out is the fact that even in the Biden Department of Justice, they were going to indict SmartMatic for bribery of elected officials to put their machines in at a higher price.
	So there's not any good guys in any of this stuff.
	You give us a premium and well, maybe we make sure the votes flip a certain sort of way here for you.
	Now the way that Smartmatic is portraying this is they're saying that after the MIGA people got mad on Fox for calling Arizona for Biden, they started passing these memos around saying things like, hey, if we got on Trump's side, we could be number one in ratings and all the rest of the stuff.
	And they have a memo from Murdoch to the Fox News chief executive at the time, Suzanne Scott.
	In the days after the election, he said, we're getting creamed by CNN.
	Guess our viewers don't want to watch it, meaning the election returns.
	And so, you know, there is evidence that that was what was going on.
	But last August, when Biden was in office, the Biden Department of Justice charged three current and former executives at Smartmatic with bribing an election official from the Philippines so the company could win a contract providing voting machines for the country's 2016 elections.
	So this is a company that has a very, very storied past of corruption and rigging elections and bribery and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's going to be an interesting trial as the dirty laundry comes out against both sides.
	I think we're going to see just how corrupt it's all.
	Maybe the good news is the solution, of course, is paper ballots, and maybe that will be something that will come out of this.
	People just have had enough with the voting machine stuff.
	I'm incredibly surprised they actually went ahead with the lawsuit, just given what both parties have to lose in Discovery.
	The amount of dirty info that has to be out there on these groups.
	Well, that's what people said about Trump.
	You know, if Trump wants to sue people because what they reported about him and Jeffrey Epstein, it's like, do you realize what Discovery is going to look like for you?
	You have to turn everything over.
	Yeah, the same thing with Melania and her threats of billion dollar lawsuits against these Democrats from Hunter Biden to James Carville.
	You know, they want to threaten them with these large lawsuits.
	Guess what Discovery is going to look like.
	But of course if you take the attack that Alex did you just don't comply with discovery and that's what he did and then they found the evidence that he said he didn't have was sent by his lawyer to the opposing counsel and yet everybody seemed to ignore that.
	I thought that was a pretty big issue.
	It was kind of as Alex said a Perry Mason moment.
	You don't usually get those in real life.
	Fact check this crap, said one of the emails that was there, in addition to the ones I've talked about where they were going back and forth talking about how they could be number one in ratings, you had an email from Brett Baer.
	He urged Fox News executive Jay Wallace to express dismay at the election coverage provided by Maria Bartiromo.
	He said, None of that is true as far as we can tell, he said.
	We need to fact check this crap.
	Well, that would have gotten him fired at InfoWars.
	But evidently, that's the difference of Fox News.
	They did not fire Brett Baer.
	Who knows why?
	That guy is dull and uninteresting.
	Well, at least he was focused on what was true.
	He was on the right side of that issue that was there, I gotta say.
	And then finally, we have this.
	We have, this is from the Daily Mail, a secret gay sex scandal has exploded in the Republican Party.
	It's kind of interesting when you look at the Republican Party and how they close ranks around the pedophiles.
	As I said before, GOP stands for guarding our pedophiles.
	And they said this is a guy who has gone to the press.
	He is a male prostitute in DC, and he wouldn't name any names, but he said, you wouldn't believe how many Republican officials there are here that are closeted and living this secret double life.
	I wouldn't.
	I'd believe it.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you go back and you look, Jay Gurhoover.
	We have Roy Cohen, who was allied with Joe McCarthy and allied again, who was a mentor of Donald Trump.
	People like Dennis Hastard, they got a long history of that.
	What I thought was interesting is they said when the Republicans had their convention in Minnesota last year, the big Republican convention that was there.
	Grinder, which is a homosexual.
	hookup app, its traffic went up 160 percent.
	That's kind of well.
	Yeah.
	So as I pointed out, they said telling.
	The 2024 platform from the GOP last year dropped their concerns about homosexual marriage.
	or as many of us call it, same-sex mirage.
	That was done at the behest of Don and Melania because they have embraced that very heavily.
	As we pointed out before, when he ran in 2020, he was selling a lot of rainbow merchandise.
	I think it's amazing.
	You know, when you have corporations do that, you have...
	But when Trump and Melania do it, there's silence about that.
	And when they use Mar-a-Lago as an award ceremony for log cabin Republicans, there's no talk about that at all.
	And there's no memory of the fact that Trump was at the very forefront of pushing male transgenders.
	He wanted one of them in his beauty contest that he owned, Miss Universe.
	House Speaker Mike Johnson has called same-sex mirage the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy.
	And he once described homosexuality as, quote, inherently unnatural and a dangerous lifestyle.
	I finally agree with Mike Johnson on something.
	I don't know that he would do anything about it.
	Trump himself is widely considered personally tolerant, even welcoming towards gay people, and they welcome him and Melania as well.
	As I said, with the Pride merchandise and the awards that are held in Mar-a-Lago.
	Lifesight News is about the only site that I saw report what was happening with that.
	Everybody else pretty much ignored it.
	Trump is also a mega fan of the village people, the gay disco group they say the homosexual hookup ad as I said had 160 percent increase grinder did and they say this is coming from Daily Mail and they talk about some state representatives that have been caught in massive hypocrisy But you know, interestingly, they do not talk about the big cases, the national cases.
	Dennis Hastard, who was Speaker of the House for a very long time.
	Mark Foley, who he also covered for, who had the Page scandal, the Congressional Pages.
	These were people who were in both of these cases, Dennis Astart and Mark Foley were pedophiles, and I'm assuming that that's the reason why the left here in this publication didn't want to talk about that because they didn't want to draw any connection between pedophilia and homosexuality, except that was there in both of their cases, and these guys are both living this secret life that is in contradiction not only to the law, but to what they publicly say.
	And so they then proceed in this thing to pat Democrats on the back because they're not hypocrites.
	For once, you know?
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, yeah, they cheer this kind of stuff.
	They have a quote from George Santos, of course, who said, you can be gay and conservative.
	And, of course, George Santos and Charlie Kirk agree on that.
	That's the problem I have with Charlie Kirk.
	This guy can go around and he can suck up to Trump and Trump Jr. and all the rest of them as much as he wants.
	That's politics, right?
	But when he goes around and presents himself as a Christian apologist, and he's going to tell people about God and about Christ, and then he does that at his conventions, he appears and defends homosexual guy that's there and say, oh, you can be conservative and be gay.
	You know, I have a big problem with that.
	And this is a problem that has been infesting the GOP for decades.
	That's right.
	I know I mentioned before.
	It's a subsidial problem.
	And if Charlie Kirk wants to embrace Christ publicly for these types of things, he needs to not be a hypocrite about some of these issues.
	I mentioned before, but Shabby Five brought it up in chat as well about the Franklin savings and loan scandal.
	Yes.
	And this is something that has largely disappeared from the Internet.
	If you Google it, you're not going to find much info on it.
	And that was largely the Bus involved in it, Larry King, he's still alive, lives somewhere around DC now.
	They got him on some kind of fraud when it comes to banking or whatever.
	Never charged for anything of this, but he sang at the RNC, the national anthem, twice.
	Four years later after the first time.
	This is the type of people the GOP is filled up with.
	This was the guy that was supplying young boys to people that were in the White House.
	Well, they point out, and I did not know this, in the late 1970s, California Conservatives pushed what they called the Briggs Initiative that would bar gay and lesbian teachers from government schools.
	And they said, Ronald, Reagan opposed that as governor.
	So this goes for a very long time.
	You are not going to get any real reform of this cancer on our society.
	You're going to have to take your kids out of school.
	There is no Republican saviors that are going to be there.
	There's nobody that really stands for Christian principles.
	That includes Charlie Kirk and these people who are on the side.
	And it was during that period that Log Cabin Republicans formed, and now they are closely connected to the Trump family.
	There was also So I'll just, same issue here.
	You have in the Utah state legislature, you have the guy who was head of the Utah Senate.
	Let me see if I can find this thing here.
	He was head of the Utah Senate.
	And he suggested, this is kind of interesting, the Senate president, J. Stewart Adams, inspired a change in state law that reduced the penalty for cases in which an 18-year-old who is still enrolled in high school has consensual sex with a 13-year-old.
	And they put consensual and air quotes because it should be there.
	That's the whole point.
	The reason that we have these laws is because when you're that young, you can't consent to it, which means that you also can't consent to having your body mutilated with chemicals or surgery and that type of thing.
	You just don't have the judgment to be able to consent.
	And so this is the situation.
	Again, an 18-year-old high school boy and a 13-year-old girl turns out that this Senate president, J. Stewart Adams, had a relative who was the 18-year-old boy who had been charged with coming after a 13-year-old girl, which is kind of.
	interesting and they noticed that in the local papers.
	At the time the law was changed, he reportedly had an eighteen year old relative who was facing charges of child rape for having sex with a thirteen year old.
	They said the Salt Lake Tribune published an article said Utah's Senate president prompted law change that helped a teen who was charged with child rape.
	The law was not retroactive, meaning that his relative still faced the original charges of child rape and not a reduced charge.
	However, the judge, the prosecutor, and the defense attorney in Adams' relative's case reportedly all agreed that the legislative change did impact how the charges were resolved and the relatives' plea deal.
	So here we have some legislation that just happens to look exactly like his 18-year-old relative who's in a lot of trouble.
	It lessened the penalty, but the age of consent was not changed by this law.
	That's the kind of corruption that we see in politics, whether we're looking at the state level or whether we are looking at the federal level.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Stay with us.

	We've got a lot of comments here.
	We're currently waiting on Tony Ardiburn.
	We'll be joined by him shortly.
	But Radisbro, thank you very much for the tip.
	That's very generous and very kind.
	He says most people don't know Waters and Owen Schroyer are good friends.
	And so that push was from Alex Jones to get mainstream to get in on Stop the Steel.
	Didn't know that.
	Yeah, I didn't know that they knew each other either.
	But of course, to me, Stop the Steel, the interesting thing about Stop the Steel.
	And, you know, Roger Stone came up with that name from the 2016 campaign because there was going to be a move to try to stop Trump at the Republican Convention, if you remember.
	And so that's why he started calling it Stop the Steel.
	He brought that back up, and he had some people who were following him around at the time in 2020 who were doing a documentary, and they got it on camera that he said, this is going to be, we're going to raise money on this so easily.
	It's going to be like falling off a log.
	And that was what it was all about, folks.
	And to me, it's amazing.
	that the people who organized this thing, the people who promoted it so heavily, that even Fox News, everybody was talking about Stop the Steel.
	The dog that did not bark is the fact that there was no indictment for them when there was an indictment for all these other J sixers, it's pretty clear they wanted to protect certain people and that the system wanted those people to continue to mislead their followers.
	Yeah.
	SA Miller, one, two, three, Trump is a very confused individual, doesn't know what religion he is, and is trying to negotiate peace talks to get him into heaven.
	Shaking my head.
	Yeah, I saw Franklin Graham respond to that and he said, Yeah, Trump is right, we are saved by works.
	It's not our works, though, it's Christ's works.
	And that's the difference between Christianity and every other religion.
	Every other religion, they come up with a series of things for you to do.
	Sometimes it's kind of vague and ill-defined.
	Sometimes it's incredibly specifically detailed.
	That's the way it is with the rabbis and the laws that they, rules that they come up with.
	They're incredibly detailed about what you're allowed to do or not do on Sabbath and things like that.
	But the Christian religion is about the free gift of grace coming from the Lord Jesus Christ, what he did on our behalf and what he gave to us.
	That's the big difference with it.
	And we have people even within the Christian religion that have difficulty accepting and understanding that as well.
	I just got a text from Tony.
	He says he's going to have to reschedule.
	They're doing construction in front of his house, and it is just so loud that the audio would not be acceptable.
	Okay, that's fine.
	Well, we'll continue on with what we had.
	We had some interesting things.
	One of them We do have one more comment though, if you don't mind.
	Sure.
	A Syrian girl says, I was reading a book on Chinese history and had to stop the viciousness of the Chinese governments to their people has always been way beyond all the evils perpetrated by Western governments.
	Chinese history versus Western history shows the value of Christianity even when it is only half-heartedly.
	We may have a situation where China may be a more Christian nation than the United States in the not too distant future.
	They are building really strong people in their house churches.
	And they are, you know, whenever you have Christianity suffering under persecution like that, it builds some really, you get the deadwood that is typically there under soft circumstances like we have.
	And you only have people who are truly committed, people who are true believers.
	And that's really what's happening in China.
	You may already have more Christians in China than you do in the US in terms of quantity.
	But in terms of quality, you probably have much stronger Christiansans in China than you do in the US.
	Yes, it is a value of Christianity and shows the softening effect it can have on people.
	I also think it has to do with a lot of Western philosophy and the fact that a lot of other countries have never even sat down and considered rights at all.
	It is simply you exist and whoever has more power than you is in control.
	They don't give any thought to what your duty is to your fellow man and what it is.
	Might makes right.
	You see that very, very much in Eastern philosophy.
	And I'm afraid you're seeing that in the West now.
	They don't really care about principles.
	Nobody on either side of this thing cares about freedom of speech.
	They just want to get the other side.
	That's the thing we keep coming back to.
	We got one more here.
	Skunk Hollow Rose Garden, thank you for the tip.
	It says, Best chat this side of Mar a Lago.
	Well, is that high praise?
	I don't know.
	BT Taylor 246, the fact that Pedos get off with such light sentences is proof our government is run by Pedos.
	I would agree.
	Well, this is kind of an interesting story.
	This is the women's NBA, the WNBA players.
	have turned down a pay boost that would have raised the minimum salary for players in the league from 66,000 to 250,000.
	And the thing that makes this interesting is the fact that the league has never made money and they're losing money at a bigger rate.
	They're subsidized by the NBA.
	This is again, they want to be paid what they're worth.
	I think probably they would be paid nothing because they're losing money.
	I really don't.
	I don't follow sports in general, but at least with the NBA, you can kind of make a case for it, like, oh, they're at the top of their skill level.
	These guys are the best at what they do.
	You know, they're very quick.
	They're very fast.
	It's a very fast pace of the tallest people.
	Yeah, yeah, they get points for that.
	And so, you know, there's there's something to be said for that.
	The WNBA has none of that.
	Being the best, you know, female basketball player, you're probably going to get outdone by some, you know, varsity, maybe junior varsity team.
	Yeah.
	And you might get outdone just, you know, by a standard high school team.
	Well, they considered this offer to be a, quote, slap in the face.
	I said, even though the proposed numbers would have represented the largest salary leap in league history, I said for context, the WNBA has never turned a profit in its 29-year history.
	Annual losses hovered around $10 million before Caitlin Clark, but now they have ballooned to nearly $50 million in 2024, even as revenues grew past $200 million.
	So they got revenues of $200 million, and yet they have losses of $50 million.
	I mean, that's a tremendous percentage.
	25% of their net gross is their loss.
	That is pretty poorly run, but evidently they're giving Caitlin and some other celebrities really, really big salaries that have run up the red ink.
	The league survives because.
	the NBA owns roughly sixty percent of it and has consistently subsidized operations since 1997.
	So they very generous.
	Yeah, they've done that, I think, to avoid criticism of sexism and things like that.
	But it's not paying its way.
	Now, the players said this was a slap in the face because they said it's not the money.
	We want a percentage of the profits like the NBA players do.
	You have to generate profits first.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's my thing.
	What is the percentage of profits if you've got negative profits?
	I mean, are they offering to pay?
	Yeah, exactly.
	That would be our calculation pay you owe us yeah the wnba players need to pay to play and that would be the reality of it.
	I guess you could say that their profit sharing is net zero.
	Because you've got to have somebody to point out profits before they can do it.
	Critics say that...
	They have 44 games and they only have 10-minute quarters instead of 15-minute quarters.
	They have limited playoff rounds and they say that's one of the reasons why their salaries shouldn't scale anywhere near NBA levels.
	But of course, it's amazing to me to see that this anything you can do, I can do better attitude is still there in the era that.
	we have seen, what happens when you have just mediocre men pretend that they're women and compete in a sport.
	And blow out the records.
	Yeah.
	I mean, when I was growing up, they did everything they can to try to deceive people.
	And I remember Billie Jean King and you had Bobby Riggs in that staged match.
	And people at the time who knew Bobby Riggs said that he threw that for the money.
	Because he had already had matches with other he was retired.
	He was an older male guy who, again, was not the top of the league when he was at his prime.
	And now he's retired and older, but he was still able to beat some of these current women's professionals, and they staged that and made a big deal out of the fact that he threw the game to her because Jimmy Carter also did one after that, and he skunked another tennis pro, female tennis pro, who was again at the top of her game at the time.
	And there had been others that were out there.
	So they took this one match.
	and they focused on that almost exclusively ignoring all the rest of the stuff.
	But now that we've had this outrage from women about women being being women in sports being skunked by men trannies, it's amazing that we still have this type of thing happening.
	Yeah, I really thought that was going to be the one good thing to come of the insane.
	Nobody will ever come to their senses.
	no, I underestimate the power of their double think.
	They can simultaneously hold that, you know, And also that women are just as good as men.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's like the MAGA people who hate the MRNA.
	They hate the lockdowns.
	They hate the mask, but they can't connect the dots and will not connect the dots to Trump.
	It's a real clear connection.
	You also see the whole thing with feminists in the fact that they want to portray and have all men viewed as, you know, potential rapists and threats and they're evil and violent.
	You have to be continually afraid of them.
	But also women are just as strong and powerful and you can't have it both ways.
	If you need to be afraid and you need to be fearful of men, that means that what?
	Men are bigger, faster, stronger and a danger to you.
	You can't have it both ways.
	You have to choose one, at least.
	Which, again, I don't think the average man is out there trying to be heinous to women.
	I think Orwell was on to something when he came up with the term double think, don't you?
	Truly, we see it everywhere.
	In Nova Scotia, the government there has approved glyphosate spraying on 3,577 acres of drought-stricken, fire-prone forest.
	Now, glyphosate is sprayed under these forests, and it kills deciduous trees, and it kills pretty much everything except the pine trees that are there.
	And so it doesn't create a, it kills the forest essentially, and you wind up with just one species of tree that grows there.
	But it also creates a fire hazard even for those trees.
	And so you've got the press there that found out about this and engaged the Premier of Nova Scotia and asked him some questions about it.
	And he just pleaded ignorance about it.
	Premier Tim Houston had an exchange with a Halifax examiner.
	They asked him, they said, herbicide spraying has been has been ended.
	But because the concern is that the obviously the herbicides kill growth and add to the fuel burden, potential fire burden, is it spraying on now or has that been stopped and he says well i don't know if there's any spraying that's going on at the moment certainly not banned for all time not in our province if it's been temporarily ceased i'm not sure really what's going on so he doesn't know and uh the interesting thing about this was that they were doing this in the forests previously and
	they would report and tell people the areas where they were doing this so people could stay out and not be sprayed themselves and not come into direct contact with it as i've said before we had a dog that died of a particular type of leukemia that is associated strongly with glyphosate and i believe that it was from one of these chemical lawn spraying companies that our neighbors used, they would come out and spray their lawn and then put signs up keep pets and dogs off of it.
	And our particular dog was a master of escape who was able to get out and he did get out and he got into that grass, he liked to roll into it and to eat it more than any other dog I've ever seen.
	And so he got the same kind of cancer that you saw farm workers getting from using Roundup.
	But they have taken the approach to not ban the spraying but to ban citizens from the forest.
	It looks like Robin Hood yet again., they even call it the Crown's Forests.
	And they say, you're not allowed into these forests, period.
	So you've got people, I think it's in the article, Lance, you could show the pictures of people putting large signs on the ground saying, do not spray us, don't spray.
	They've got it down on the ground, really large signs.
	And they're very concerned about it.
	They said, there is no consumption.
	There's to be no consumption of berries and fruit within the spray sites for the remainder of the growing season.
	And as I said before, what was interesting about this was that prior to that they would always list the areas that they were going to be spraying with glyphosate they had it online but the people the industry group that is selling the glyphosate spray asked that that be taken down and so they deep-sixed it they memory hold so that people can't see the areas that they're going to be spraying or
	know when they are going to be spraying it there.
	Aerial spraying on private land would not fall under the wildfire travel restrictions as they now stand, but it's not clear whether herbicide spraying would be allowed on crown land as industrial forestry uses it as a form of sylviculture which I don't know what that is they say it is permitted at night so there you go we are going back into a feudal system aren't we you know you're not allowed to go on to the crown's land no this is our forest you may not enter it
	that's right these are the kings dear well we know that it is going into a kind of a feudal system and a system of tyranny the eu has got a so-called media freedom law that is about to take effect uh and uh this european media freedom law which took effect last friday um
	And they openly came out, Reuters and others said, we're very concerned about the fact that you have very large online platforms.
	And so they created an acronym out of that called VLOPs.
	VLOPs such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, those types of things.
	They said people are getting their news from that.
	And so you need to make sure that you punish YouTube if they don't promote mainstream media.
	That was the mainstream media approach.
	And so what they did was they said that, So in order to avoid the appearance of that, of course, YouTube and Facebook and others will make sure that they promote mainstream media if they didn't before under penalty of financial penalty.
	And so the quote from Reuters was that it has contributed to a fragmented alternative media environment that is filled with podcasters, YouTubers, and TikTokers.
	Don't worry, they've done their best to exclude me.
	So, you know, we're only one out of those three.
	That's right.
	And it's not just making sure that you're getting the mainstream Mockingbird press promoted to you.
	The EU is going to be scanning your chats by this October.
	Again, the paranoia of the tyrants that is there.
	Now they say.
	that they're doing this because they want to cut down on child sexual abuse.
	So they want to scan all the chats.
	This is all happening the same week that the Trump administration sent this Israeli cybersecurity guy back to Israel who was doing exactly this.
	So they always use this.
	stuff and they talk about it as being chat control.
	Big push coming out of Denmark to do this.
	Some of the European countries are not fully on board with this, but they will be.
	And when we look at the pedophilia that is rampant in all of these different governments, you know that they're just using that as a fig leaf to do the kind of surveillance that they always wanted to do.
	That's what this is ultimately about.
	It's just another MacGuffin.
	It's always the same end goal, no matter which tack they're coming at it from.
	Is it for the kids?
	Is it for to save the environment?
	Either way, you're losing freedoms.
	You're losing your liberties.
	They're going to lock you down.
	The 15-minute city agenda.
	Well, they're not locking down their borders.
	And when you see the massive numbers of people that are being brought into the UK, Germany, and France, that type of thing.
	Lance, show the video of how some of these farmers have handled the massive number of migrants that have come in and squatted on their land.
	they gave them some of the they call it the honey truck uh oh no yeah look at this they got all these people just moved onto their land and decide that they're going to live on the land of the farmers.
	So the farmers go out and get the trucks that spray manure.
	They use that to great effect there in the Netherlands too, I think, when you had Mark Ruda try to shut down the farms.
	They brought out many of the poo and the honey tree, I guess.
	But this is the fight that's going on between farmers and squatters, and this is in France.
	They really do want to shut down our farms, don't they?
	That's truly amazing.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	And when we come back, we're going to talk about some financial issues.
	So stay with us.
	Thank you.
	analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now the David Knights Show.
	Well, welcome back.
	We're going to talk about the fact that Trump has snapped up more than $100 million in bonds since taking office.
	We'll talk about what that means and maybe perhaps why he is doing that, as well as what is happening with stablecoins.
	But before we do, I want to thank the people who support this program.
	These are some of the August checks that we just got in.
	Let me read off their first names and their last initial.
	Scott C. C, HD from NC, North Carolina, David and Anne Marie N. Aaron W. John R. Monica S. Helen T. Minor Mike, and I have a letter from Minor Mike I want to talk about here.
	Peter G. Charles Larry P. Charles with APS Radio, NZ, Timothy W. Margaret Mary T. Marty of I'm Marty, TK from Ohio, Sylvia D. James F. William G. David and Deborah W. Thank you so much for your support and these are mostly people who have supported us continuously.
	I wanted to give you this information from miner Mike because he's asked for prayers as well as Audi and Modern Retro Radio.
	They're both facing issues with their businesses here.
	He says, I apologize for not sending more money sooner, but my small mining company has been sued in federal court by an organized crime group.
	They're trying to steal my property and equipment.
	with the help of a complicit federal judge.
	These criminals have been running a fraudulent stock-selling mining scam since 2009.
	They want me gone because I have shined light on their $60 plus million scheme.
	There are many servants of the dark side in this world, and I'm confident that in the end the truth will prevail and God will win over evil.
	And so please keep Minor Mike in your prayers.
	He has been someone who has been very generous and kind in his support of us, but we're going to see more and more issues.
	Of course, this is not about the economy in general, but I think we're going to see more and more issues of people.
	that are going to be having issues because of the economy.
	We certainly saw that back in 2020 and 2021.
	So many people that were faced with losing their job because they didn't want to take the job.
	And so please keep them in your prayers.
	Audi MRR, Modern Retro Radio, and Minor Mike as well.
	When we look at Trump, he has been accumulating bonds extensively.
	They don't know exactly how much.
	This is an estimate that it is $100 million in bonds.
	It's been 690 transactions.
	that have taken place since he took office.
	About 700 transactions in about six months.
	That's several a day.
	The documents were made public on Tuesday.
	According to CNBC calculations, the purchases had a total value of at least one hundred million dollars.
	By law, the US president, vice president, and some other select officials must periodically declare reportable transactions.
	The precise value of these dealings does not, however, have to be reported.
	But what is Trump buying?
	We can see the kinds of things that he is buying.
	They said that for big purchases between five hundred thousand dollars and a million dollars worth were things like T Mobile, United Health, Home Depot, and others.
	Meta, he put in somewhere between two hundred fifty thousand and five hundred thousand dollars.
	and 500,000.
	So he's buying commercial paper.
	I wouldn't read too much into what these companies do, but I think when you look at the fact that he is buying bonds and commercial paper, I think that means that he's pretty confident that he's going to be able to get interest rates lowered because if interest rates go down, those bonds that he got at a higher interest rate are going to become even more valuable.
	So it's going to be, it's yet another incentive for him to pull out all the stocks.
	and to go for lowering interest rates.
	How will that affect us?
	Well, it'll affect us because inflation is going to make things like gold go up.
	I'm not so sure what's going to happen with Bitcoin.
	It's not necessarily, as we saw...
	Yeah, it doesn't track exactly like gold does.
	Yeah, I mean, gold is definitely the...
	Bitcoin is kind of a mixed bag.
	It's kind of its own thing.
	So not really clear about what that's going to do, but that certainly does give us an insight.
	And as I said before, we see that he is eager to replace as many people as he can in the Federal Reserve, and he has to find some crimes to charge them with.
	It looks like he's found at least one person.
	We actually have a comment here from Angie Tiger about the bonds.
	He says, Trump just invested one hundred million in government bonds.
	Doesn't surprise me while he's pushing lower interest rates to a weaker dollar, he will make out like a bandit.
	Insider trading at its finest.
	That's right.
	The rich get richer.
	This makes Nancy Pelosi look like small change when he goes out and buys one hundred million dollars worth of bonds.
	And again, the value is going to soar on those things because they'll have a higher yield.
	Nervous banking lobby is now fighting to change the Genius Act.
	And of course, this is another area where the Trump family has made a very big investment.
	We've had Eric Trump talk about the fact that he thinks, and this was before they got the Genius Act put through, he thought that banks as we know them were going to be extinct within 10 years.
	Why is that?
	Well, because they're going to be replaced with stablecoins.
	And so the banking industry was kind of caught by surprise here.
	You got even people like JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Diamond, or Diamond, I think is perhaps maybe the better pronunciation of his name.
	Even they are upset about what happened because they wanted to make sure that stablecoins could not pay interest.
	interest but the question is what difference does it make when the banks aren't paying any interest I mean you already got Bank of America paying you like 0.001 interest on your savings accounts they're not paying any interest they're disinterested in giving you a return on your money yeah yeah that's right but anyway this is the the route that this is going to take I don't like that idea because I
	like to have, not that I'm a big fan of banks, but smaller local banks are very important, especially if you want to be to be able to buy things with cash, you're not going to be able to have any cash transactions if the banks go away killed by stablecoins.
	That's going to accelerate the move to digital ID and trackable permission financial statements.
	So banks are really kind of, local banks are going to be essential, I think.
	for you to be able to be able to have cash transactions.
	If a business is going to take the cash, they need to be able to take it back physically to a bank that's going to be nearby.
	That's the downside I see from this.
	Prominent members in the crypto industry have long argued that stablecoin issuers should be allowed to offer users interest.
	So this is the big fight going back and forth.
	But like I said the other day, when you look at the user's interest rates that they charge you when you borrow versus the essentially zero interest rate that they pay you when you put money in the bank, I really don't understand what the fight is over this.
	But it is the banks that have the target put on them.
	Stablecoin issuers, they wanted to prohibit them from paying any form of interest or yield in connection with the holding, use, or retention of such payment stablecoin and again when you look at the model for tether they buy federal reserve notes which pay interest and then they you know dull these you know the stablecoins so that the users have their stuff their their funds backed up supposedly by the federal reserve notes however
	the users would not get that interest.
	That's one of the things that made the stable coins so profitable, was that Tether would keep all that interest on the Federal Reserve notes.
	And by buying the Federal Reserve notes, they were creating an international market for the federal bonds that the other countries, central banks, don't want to buy because they understand how we're gaming this.
	But individuals in other countries would want to buy these stable coins.
	So that's one way they they back up their worthless fiat currency so I said the ability for firms like exchanges to allow interest on stablecoins is based on factors other than holding use or retention as mentioned in the genius act.
	The word solely used in the genius act is quote a powerful legal limiter and it really does mean that if there is any other basis for the deals, they probably don't qualify, said one person.
	As things stand, customer deposits allow banks to create a significant portion of the money supply through loans and through lines of credit.
	Incentivizing a shift from bank deposits and money market funds to stablecoins would end up increasing lending costs and reducing loans to businesses and consumer households.
	That's the way the banking industry is fighting back on this.
	They say, well, It's just going to mean that we're going to charge you more on loans and make the loans more difficult for you to get them.
	I'm seeing a lot of potential downside on this stuff in every different direction.
	I mean, it looks like they're setting us up for some really difficult times and it's how they're going to make sure that we own nothing.
	This is a part of the real big takedown that's coming.
	It's, again, we've talked about the fact that this is going to be used for tracking and tracing and they can immediately turn your wallet off, but there's so many other different things that like this are much more hidden and harder to consider how this interplays with the system that's already there and the ways they're going to utilize it.
	Well, this argument from Zero H says it's very unlikely that the crypto industry will accept any amendments to the Genius Act, a law that's already been passed.
	And I think that is true.
	And I don't think that you're going to find anybody in the Trump administration that's going to want to have that happen either.
	Because this is all about this oligarchy that Trump has around him and the money that they're going to make off of these stablecoins.
	This is going to be the new financial system that they're pivoting in.
	You know, Tony did a great job last Friday talking about We're going to come up to, I don't know if there'll be an announcement or if they'll just kind of de facto move end-to-end.
	into this new system that's going to be there.
	But I would expect that it's going to happen pretty quickly.
	Whether or not there is an announcement, I think even if it is something that just kind of gradually evolves as a de facto move, I think it is still going to be pretty sudden when it happens.
	And I think all this stuff is going to be, they're going to make out like thieves that they are, and we're going to be left holding the bag.
	They do these things slowly at first, and once they have a large enough portion of the population on board to where once they flip the switch, you're kind of forced to go along with them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, they have some number in mind probably.
	Someone does.
	Once we've got it established here, here, and here, then immediately we can hammer it.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, one of the people talking about this that's on the crypto side said, people never wanted to use banks to make payments.
	They just had to.
	Now they don't have to.
	Just like digital music files were better than CDs.
	Well, that's a matter of opinion.
	I don't think so.
	They said, this intermediated finance is better and easier than traditional banking.
	Well, you know, and I say that not because we're talking about necessarily whether the digital music that you download has the same quality or resolution as the CD that you had, but there is something very important about having a physical media.
	And that's what we're ultimately talking about with the banking thing here.
	What makes them important is the connection to cash.
	If the local banks go away, there's not going to be really any way to manage this cash.
	This is an issue that's pervasive.
	If you do not have a physical copy of whatever it is, you don't actually own it.
	This has been shown time and time again.
	Even in, I bring them up because they're an exemplar, but even something as silly as video games, something like the Steam store.
	You're technically kind of renting access to all the games you purchase on Steam.
	If you don't have it physically, you're going to wind up renting it, right?
	That's exactly.
	They make it clear that, you know, if you were to die and say to will your Steam library to your kids, no, no, they don't get it.
	That's in their terms of service.
	They are the holders of it.
	You're simply renting access from them.
	And if they choose to take that away from you, you have no recourse.
	Does that sound familiar to everybody?
	You'll own nothing, right?
	You'll rent everything.
	You rent your home.
	You rent your music.
	You know, everything will be rented.
	That's the way they keep ultimate control of it.
	And that's why it is important to have something that is physical.
	It gives us some control.
	Well, is gold ready to explode?
	The fear trade says yes.
	This is an article from Zero Hedge.
	just read you the headline.
	But that is the key thing.
	When you look at this and what happened with the stock market, we had a little bit of an up and down this week.
	The stock market right now is doing well.
	It's been inflated, mainly doing well because of just a handful of stocks like Nvidia.
	And these are stocks that are connected with the AI bubble.
	And now you've got even people like Sam Altman talking about how the AI bubble is like the dot com bubble.
	I said from the very beginning, the dot com bubble happened because everybody got so they rushed into this thing and their minds ran away with all the things that were going to happen immediately with the internet.
	Now those things did eventually happen, but they didn't happen right away.
	And because you had this massive mob that got all hyped up about it, they were the ones who ran in and bid the price up.
	And that same type of person will look at it and when it's not paying off and it's not happening because it's going to be down the road, that same type of person will then run out the exit.
	And when they all start running out, that's when it's going to happen.
	So it'll first happen with the AI stocks.
	That'll take down the stock market in general.
	And that's when you're going to see gold and silver rally.
	We already saw just a little bit of that as the U.S. stock indices sold off this last week.
	Gold and silver prices solidly higher went near midday yesterday.
	And the question is, you know, when is that needle going to pop the AI bubble?
	Everybody is talking about it now.
	Even the people who are profiting from the AI bubble.
	UBS has raised the second quarter 2026 gold price target to $3,600 an ounce.
	They say they see the strongest gold demand since 2011.
	So stop and think about that.
	If they're right, and we don't know if they're right, but if they're right, if it goes up from about $3,300 right now to $3,600 in about four to seven months, you're talking about a 9% gain over those four to seven months.
	That's a pretty large annualized gain for something that is a very conservative investment.
	I still say that gold and silver is a great investment.
	Go to David Knight.gold.
	I'll take you to Tony Ardavan and he can help you.
	to acquire physical gold, physical silver.
	He can also help you if you want to put gold and silver into your IRA as well.
	Gold prices posted steady gains and overnight trading hit a session high of $3,350.
	So it's been solidly around the $3,300 level.
	And one person is saying, yeah, gold can float to $3,600.
	but it will not outperform silver and platinum.
	People are still expecting a big move from silver.
	Gold prices are holding their gains even as the Federal Open Market Committee minutes show that the Federal Reserve remains very hesitant to cut rates.
	What they do is they meet in places like Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
	Beautiful, beautiful area.
	Yeah.
	But, yeah, and very, very, very wealthy there as well.
	But anyway, you know, when we went there, they had these real estate offices that were like Suthoby's.
	You know, they're selling real estate as if it was like fine art or something in that area.
	Luxury real estate.
	Oh, yeah, very luxurious.
	Anyway, they have their meetings there and then they decide what they're going to do about interest rates.
	And then a month or two later, what they do is they release the minutes of that meeting so people can see what the various governors are saying.
	This is one of the reasons why the Trump administration is going over the history of these Federal Reserve governors with fine-tooth comb to see if they can get any dirt on them, any crimes, so they can remove them and put them in, replace them with people who are going to be compliant with Trump and supportive of whatever he wants to do.
	And we know what he wants to do.
	He wants to lower interest rates.
	So markets are seeing an 82% chance of a rate cut in September.
	So that's who knows what's going to happen in the future with it.
	I just know that we want to have some honest money.
	We want to have physical money that is outside of their rig system that they are creating.
	It's going to be a very bad system for the rest of us.
	And we need to think about how we're going to try to get out of it as much as possible.
	It was, I think about this every once in a while when it was one of the times when I think you were sick back when we still were working in the forest.
	Tony hosted the show.
	And some guy called in and asked, like, well, you know, the government can just come in and take your gold and silver.
	That's not really, they could technically come in and do that to anything.
	They could come in and just kill you.
	So why do anything at all?
	Yeah.
	Just again, gold and silver is a good store of value and it's something you can have have on hand.
	And it's something you can bury in a chest out back if necessary and dig up later.
	The government can't.
	You can hide it better than you can any of the stuff that is electronic in these cryptocurrencies, except for some of the ones like Monero or Zano or something.
	Which are specifically built to be completely private.
	But they have a pretty steep learning curve.
	And if you don't know what you're doing, you can have somebody steal that from you that's not even the government.
	That's my concern about all this stuff that's electronic.
	I've exposed myself then to all of these clever thieves worldwide.
	There are some pretty smart people who spend all their time following this stuff and they know the ins and outs and how they can hack into it.
	And we're constantly seeing systems being hacked into.
	The CIA has been hacked into.
	The NSA has been hacked into.
	There is no such thing as a perfectly secure system.
	If it's attached to the internet, someone can find a way in, give them, it's just a matter of time.
	Even if it's something as simple as just a confidence attack where you send someone an email and say, Oh, I need this from you or that from you.
	If they're not trying to break a encryption, you know, all they need is someone's login.
	All they need is one person who has a lapse in judgment and they can gain access to a system.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and it's going to be increasingly easy for them to use AI privately to deceive people as well.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come right back.
	Stay with us.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We're back, folks.
	We've got some comments.
	Big Brit is back again.
	When we're talking about the WNBA, I assume it says most of them are men, so they want men's money.
	I don't know about that.
	Sprumford says go to the Nova Scotia Forest, come back with a little cancer.
	That's right, just a little cancer, at least it won't be Turbo Cancer, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Tonal Lord 1337, their desperation to watch us is an indication that they know they're on thin ice.
	They're scared.
	Yeah.
	Hopefully.
	And we're going to talk in this segment here about some of the things that you can do to get away from their virtual control here.
	Yeah.
	Alien poop evolution., EU will scan, America will buy the info.
	And Lance says, just trade our info for it, the five eyes.
	Yeah, that's been one of their longest scams.
	Oh, we're not allowed to collect that information on our own citizens.
	How about you, our partner over there, collect it on them and then just voluntarily turn it over to us.
	That's been the scam from the very beginning.
	Right after World War II, we had ATT was basically the phone company everywhere.
	They used them for surveillance.
	That's one of the reasons why they had the church committee hearing because from their inception, the CIA and the NSA were spying on Americans without a warrant.
	And what they said was, it's our data.
	These customers have willingly turned this over to us.
	So we own it.
	The customers don't own this information about themselves.
	And since we own it, we can do with it whatever we want.
	And if the government wants us to turn it over to them, we'll do that voluntarily because we like the fact they've put us in a monopoly situation.
	Yeah, I can't wait for them to start minting our data packets onto the blockchain as NFTs.
	Imagine George Soros pulling a double-sided holographic David Knight data NFT and being very excited about it.
	I'll trade you this.
	I'll trade it to Mark Zuckerberg or something.
	Knights of the Storm, coffee and tobaccoco will be a tradable item.
	That's right.
	Maybe you need to start learning how to grow your own tobacco.
	Yeah, pretty much anything is going to be a tradable item, especially your skills.
	You know, get some real skills, not just real material stuff, but real skills in terms of, like you said, growing this or growing that.
	Now I'm curious as to what kind of laws there are about growing tobacco.
	I imagine they restrict that.
	It can't just be as simple as you're allowed to grow your own tobacco.
	It's big business.
	It really is.
	And you know, tobacco has been one of the things that they've done more genetic modification to than anything else for whatever reason.
	So there's really, really big money in big tobacco as we've seen their control over government and media.
	Yeah, I remember looking that up a few years back.
	It's heavily, heavily regulated.
	You're going to have the government all in your business if you're trying to grow tobacco.
	Yeah.
	So I googled it right now and it says you're generally allowed to grow it for your own personal use, but if you're going to, you know, distribute it or sell it at all, you're going, I'm assuming you're going to get involved with the ATF.
	Yeah.
	That's what Frodo is saying.
	Frodo would get his house raided in the Shire.
	Yeah, no long bottom leaf to distribute.
	Sourman, we're coming for you.
	Cecilia fourteen, David most concerning in the Genius Act is it gives government power to punish, vacs, mandate refusers by freezing bank accounts.
	That's right.
	All of these stablecoins do that.
	That's why I call them a Trojan coin.
	That's what they really ought to be called instead of a stablecoin.
	Yeah, the horse has come out of the stable.
	It's a Trojan horse.
	I say, Nay.
	SA Miller one, two, three, the tariffs are now kicking in and threatening the existence of so many small businesses.
	So sad Trump has been the most devastating president for small businesses in that lifetime.
	Yeah.
	Nobody even comes down.
	Now this.
	Always coming after the supply chain and always impacting the small businesses the most.
	Yeah.
	Again, the big businesses can afford to eat the tariffs for a while.
	They can keep their prices low and keep you coming to them.
	You look at your local markets prices go up.
	They have to raise prices immediately because they operate on such razor thin margins.
	Like, oh, look, Walmart's still cheap.
	Yeah, not for long.
	Once the small businesses are gone, then they'll raise it.
	Nights of the Storm, digital money is going to shut out a lot of banks that are all insolvent.
	They can't make it from nothing.
	This will centralize the banking to one entity.
	That's always how they operate.
	It's always a consolidation.
	I remember when we were young and, you know, Bank of America and what was it?
	One of the other ones, they merged, consolidated under Bill Clinton, I believe it was.
	And you talked about that.
	Bank of America was a California bank and Nations Bank was headquartered in Charlotte.
	And we had a bank account, a business bank account with Nations Bank.
	It was a guy from North Carolina, I'm trying to remember his name, but he was in the Clinton administration and he ran this whole thing through and he wound up running for Senate, although he didn't make it through the primaries.
	That's when they approved that merger.
	And when they approved that merger, everybody said, we're going to wind, you know, throughout the industry and other people were opposing it.
	And they said, we're going to wind up with just a handful of gigantic banks.
	And lo and behold, that's exactly what we had about a decade later, and we saw how that too big to fail thing worked out.
	They were the ones who were bailed out and the small banks started collapsing, hundreds of them collapsing every year.
	At that point in time, Drudge would put that kind of stuff up.
	And you could see how several hundred, you know, 150 one year, 160 another year.
	They were going out of business because the big banks were protected, but they were not.
	And the new regulations that they put in with the Consumer Financial Protection Board only made things worse for the small banks and protected the big banks and some of the other things.
	Elizabeth Warren wants to pretend that she's on the side of the little guy, but she, everything that she has done helps the big banks.
	That's why she's on their payroll.
	They get what they want out of these politicians.
	Yeah.
	Nights of the Storm.
	Oh, read that one.
	Total Lord one three hundred thirty seven.
	He says, I had no idea Steam did that with inheritance.
	Holy smokes.
	Yeah, it was a pretty big deal.
	I remember reading about it a few years years ago.
	They may have changed their policies since then, but I haven't heard anything about that.
	But I do know at the time quite a few people were up in arms about the fact that, wait, I mean, I can't will my game library to my children in case they want to play.
	You know, what if we've played these games together since they were young and maybe we've got memories, you know, and what if we've got like a shared server or something like that?
	Sorry, Travis and Lance, I don't have a game library to will you.
	I'm taking all the records.
	Yeah, I remember seeing that.
	Well, it's kind of a you can laugh at that particular situation.
	It shows that you don't own the games if you can't do whatever you want, including bequeathing them to your children children.
	It doesn't matter what area of life they want you to be a renter.
	Given something down to the silly escapisms we enjoy.
	Skunk Hollow Rose Gardens.
	Silver is the most reasonable value of anything in the whole world right now.
	As Tony points out, it's continually undervalued.
	Knights of the Storm has been in chat talking about it as well.
	As a ratio to the price of gold and everything else.
	They've been playing games with it, keeping it low.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Keep your eye on silver.
	It is below the cost to mine and refine because of ETFs.
	They played that game too long.
	Silver ETFs have put the price down so low that silver is on sale.
	Eventually the bubble will pop.
	and silver prices will go more than four times up.
	See, that's the whole thing.
	That's the kind of games that these people play.
	ETFs are a good example of that.
	When they do these derivatives, it's very much like the securitized mortgages that created the mortgage bubble.
	It took me a while to catch on to the ETFs.
	At first, I looked at it and I thought, well, I'll accumulate, you know, GLD and SLV.
	These are a couple of ETFs that come out of supposedly.
	There is gold and silver that is being held by these companies on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
	Show me the money.
	Yeah, exactly.
	What got my suspicion was that it was not tracking the price of physical gold, the spot price of physical gold.
	I thought, why is that?
	And then I realized that, you know, they're running a scam.
	They are not really backing it up with their purchases, what they're selling you.
	So when they can divorce the actual, whether it's real estate or whether it's gold and silver, they can divorce that and give you some kind of a token, then we lose everything.
	And that's the way that they're going to rob us of everything for sure.
	And that's this tokenization.
	And stablecoins are just another part of that as far as I'm concerned.
	One of the things that always struck me funny about stablecoins is they, oh, it's stable because it's tied to something like the US dollar.
	We have very different definitions of stable.
	Nothing tied to the US dollar is stable by definition.
	Yeah, it's a token that's derived from the US dollar.
	How stable can it be then?
	We have a comment here from Marky, Mark, and Jay that just popped up.
	It says, aren't we de facto renters now with property taxes?
	Yeah.
	That's true.
	As long as we have property tax, you never own your land.
	I've told this story before, fairly recently even, but I remember you were doing taxes.
	I was probably about seven years old and I wandered into your office because I was bored.
	And she's like, what are you doing?
	Taxes?
	Yeah.
	What's that?
	And you explained tax to me.
	I mean, just what tax are you working on now?
	Property taxes.
	I pay the government for the land.
	But I thought you bought the house.
	I thought you paid for the house already.
	I have to pay them every year.
	It just blew my seven year old mind.
	I had to sit down and think about that for a while.
	It's just like, wait a minute.
	That means you can't really own it.
	That's right.
	And you know why we have these property taxes?
	Almost all of it goes to supporting these schools and the harm that they do to our children.
	It's such a racket.
	So I can't understand why people are so wedded to the school system.
	And that's across the political spectrum.
	We ought to get rid of this.
	We need to shut it down.
	They're wasting our money to brainwash and propagandize our children with the harm they do, not just financially, yeah.
	Which, I mean, if they were to say, we're going to keep taking your money, but we're going to do absolutely nothing, but if you get rid of the money, we're going to keep doing it.
	I'd say, fine, we'll pay you to go away.
	I'll keep paying the taxes if it means you guys leave.
	I would take that trade.
	Karen Carpenter, twenty seven, the first time we went to Jackson Hole in the seventies, there were mud streets when it snowed in places.
	Jackson Hole is a very different place now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's still not like New York City.
	It's still very rustic in that, but you know, these people have massive estates.
	Oh yeah, you can tell it's a cultivated rusticity.
	The original people that made it the way it was are no longer there.
	It's a bunch of people that moved there because they liked the aesthetic who have priced the original owners far out of anything they could have ever afforded.
	That's right.
	Knights of the Storm, copper is going to be a thing as well.
	Soon they are trying to build a large collider in Texas and that will consume all the copper we have on hand.
	They will artificially suppress the price of copper to get the collider built.
	Then when it's done, the price will explode.
	I have to look at that too.
	Are they talking about a large hadron collider like they've got going on in CERN?
	Are they going to be doing weird occult rituals like that in Texas too?
	That'll be fun.
	Mav twenty twenty two, copper has been messed with for a while.
	They need copper for this AI crap too.
	They need copper for a lot of different things.
	It's a metal that's heavily used in all kinds of different industries.
	Knights of the Storm.
	This is why crackheads are ripping wires and pipes out of walls before.
	They did it with the CERN Large Collider before.
	Tony hinted to copper being a metal to watch in the future a while back.
	He's right.
	if they build a collider here in the United States, they're going to have to worry about crackheads.
	Those people are industrious.
	They have a lot of energy.
	You're going to have guards 24/7.
	It's not as friendly and nice as it is in Switzerland here.
	Cecilia 14, are pennies valuable for copper?
	Good question.
	Was there any copper left in in pennies or is this some, you know, weird amalgam metal now?
	They seem to have gotten rid of all the value in all of our metals because I know for a fact that pennies cost more to manufacture than they're worth.
	Yeah.
	Are they not phasing out pennies next week?
	Oh, yeah, Trump shut it down.
	And I, as I said, I have real concern about that because that impacts the utility of cash to some degree.
	But, you know, when you look at coins, it's not all that meaningful to talk about the cost to mint coins because they last for a very long time, unlike the paper money.
	Yeah.
	Knights of the Storm in chat says pre eighty two pennies are pure copper.
	So if you find a penny from before 1982, then you've got a pure copper penny.
	It might be worth holding on to that.
	That's interesting.
	Well, I was talking about stablecoins, and it's kind of interesting that you've got a guy that was part of the Trump administration earlier this year.
	Remember, the Trump administration is only what, like six or seven months old.
	You've already got Bo Hines leaving the White House as the White House crypto director and now going to Tether, which is Lucky Lutinic's company that he's heavily involved in.
	Of course, it's a company that is linked to Tether and his company.
	has got a great deal of stake in Tether, and they acquire the Federal Reserve notes and sell them to Tether.
	Hines will work to help Tether enter the US market and cultivate relationships with policymakers and industry stakeholders.
	Give me a break.
	They've already got a rotating door here between policymakers and industry stakeholders.
	That's why we got the Genius Act in the first place.
	And it's just another example of this kind of regulatory revolving door that pharmaceuticals are filled with.
	And of course, that's what they're building right now with their crypto stuff.
	This is an article from Brownstone.
	It says from fiat everything to real everything.
	And he lays out some of the problems with the fiat society that they're trying to build with tokens and all the rest of stuff.
	And then talks a little bit about some of the solutions that we should be focused on in each of our personal lives here.
	The infrastructure is now visible to anybody who's willing to see it.
	The systematic replacement of natural systems with artificial ones has reached into every domain.
	Money, food, health, education, information.
	What began as isolated changes has revealed itself as a coordinated operation.
	The complete substitution of reality with decree, ownership, and access competence with credentials, everything for a permission society.
	The mathematical engineering of ownership out of reach becomes clear.
	From 52% of 30-year-olds owning homes in 1950 to a projected 13% by 2025, extraction was rebranded as liberation.
	The subscription economy that converts your $3,000 monthly into someone else's equity while you build nothing.
	These aren't separate trends, but components.
	of what I documented in fiat everything.
	He said they didn't just loot us financially and culturally, but they rewired our psychology to make resistance impossible.
	That's the key thing.
	They want to make it so that you accept all of this rental stuff rather than taking control of it yourself.
	And he talks about how Catherine Austin Fitz is very focused on this, and she is.
	She worked very hard to try to make sure that there was going to be a kind of a Tennessee reserve system here in this state so that we would not be completely reliant on stablecoins.
	She sees the connection, of course, between stablecoins and the great pump and dump.
	And that's the way she sees it.
	Her article was a Plunder, Financing the Panopticon.
	And that just recently came out.
	He said that was last week.
	It connects the dots that reveal the full scope of the operation.
	The surveillance infrastructure isn't just watching us.
	It is actively conditioning us for compliance.
	She calls it the Panopticon because she said it creates the psychological substrate that makes extraction possible.
	Her work has long explored themes of sovereignty and financial freedom, but this latest analysis shows the endgame.
	We're not just being robbed we're being programmed to participate in our own robbery yeah you will own nothing and you'll be happy about that this is the villain's masterpiece a system so sophisticated that it harvests not just our wealth but our very capacity for resistance and of course a key part of that is going to be the universal basic income.
	Look at how quickly everybody got used to a stimulus check and staying home and not working with Donald Trump.
	As I said before, he's an accelerationist and always said that people would get ruined by the welfare state because we've already seen that happen in the past.
	But the extent of doing it universally and the extent to which people became so compliant and so dependent on this stuff really surprised me at how quickly it happened.
	Almost overnight.
	And I know we have this article in the stack, which we might get to later, about the sheer number of Britons that now just take permanent disability and never enter the workforce.
	When you give people that option, there's a large number of people that will simply take it.
	They'll look at their options and think, well, I can work, you know, I can work, you know, 100 hours a week and barely scrape by, or I can do nothing and get almost as much from the government.
	I think I'll take it from the government.
	And that article they were talking about how so many young people went straight from college or whatever, straight on to saying that they were disabled.
	And one of the things they would say is, well, I've got PTSD or I'm, I'm, you know, I'm stressed, I'm depressed.
	ADHD or whatever.
	I've got some kind of mental issue and so I can get on 100% disability and just live off of the government.
	And it's very easy for people to do that.
	It's engineered compliance.
	As they say here, the recent certification of class action lawsuit for children who were MKUltra victims demonstrates that these were not just isolated experiments.
	They were the prototype for mass psychological conditioning.
	The same techniques that once tested on unwitting subjects now reach billions of people through the devices that they carry willingly.
	Impulsive, debt prone, and dependent on external validation, incapable of long-term planning.
	This is what we're seeing in citizens today.
	The same systems that price you out of ownership simultaneously condition you to prefer access over assets, subscriptions over purchases, digital relationships over physical community.
	It's the own nothing, be happy idea.
	So Jeffrey Tucker has talked about a practical way of living with the founding fathers' principles in a world of smartphones and surveillance capitalism.
	He's not advocating retreat, but showing how to navigate this system without surrendering the character traits that made America's founders ungovernable.
	And of course, a key part of that is local agriculture.
	Jefferson said that the whole system of government that had been designed was dependent on an agrarian society.
	And he thought that once we moved into industrialization, that we would lose it.
	He should see what's going on with the technocracy.
	In a world that is drowning in manufactured complexity, this 120-page work from Jeffrey Tucker is as efficient as it is inspiring.
	Cutting Through the Noise to Reach Central Truths.
	He says, Tucker has identified specific practices that make...
	Oh, okay, yeah.
	I don't know what that was.
	Yeah.
	It makes fiat.
	It changed my voice too.
	It made fiat systems powerless, though, not through retreat from modernity, but through applied philosophy for maintaining sovereignty from within.
	And so he's got three or four things here.
	The first thing is to try to cultivate in your life a long-time preference over instant gratification.
	So they're constantly wanting us to want it now.
	But he says the mentality that you will have delayed gratification, that you can wait so that you don't have to borrow, so you save so that you don't have to borrow this thing.
	He says when you can plan decades ahead, you will not be manipulated by quarterly thinking.
	then also craftsmanship over dispensers disposable consumption.
	Real skill building creates anti-fragility.
	The person who can fix, build, grow or repair something valuable becomes harder to control.
	Craftsmanship builds the patience and the attention span that surveillance capitalism deliberately erodes.
	It creates real value instead of renting access to other people.
	And then generational knowledge, he said, over credential expertise.
	Wisdom that has been passed down through families and communities doesn't require institutional validation.
	It cannot be revoked by authorities, it cannot be updated by algorithm.
	Your grandmother's knowledge of food preservation doesn't come with subscription fees or terms of service.
	This knowledge exists outside of their systems, making it both valuable and dangerous to those who profit from dependency.
	And this is one of the reasons why we talk about civil defense manual.
	That's not going to be online.
	It's not going to be something that can be taken away.
	It's in a book.
	And that's the importance of either having a book or if you put something on a device, making sure that that device is air gapped and not on the internet where anybody can mess with that device and to make sure that it is protected against something like an EMP.
	But even better than that is a book.
	Books are protected from EMPs.
	The electricity can go out and you can still read it.
	You can light yourself up a candle and read the Civil Defense Manual by candlelight.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	And it's kind of interesting, you know, when we look at this, this is an article, I won't go into detail on it, but basically they say that gold performs more like luxury real estate.
	And they use the example of Manhattan.
	And they say, you know, there's people who want to live in Manhattan and they can afford it, but then there's a lot of people.
	of suckers there's a lot of people who can't and they wait on the outskirts and they're waiting to see if they can find a deal or something like that but they're not making more real estate there in manhattan he said that's basically what you see with gold it's that same kind of market dynamic that you see with luxury real estate in a highly competitive market like that and so we're going to leave the financial stuff because there's some other things i want to talk about when we come back we're going
	to talk about surveillance and and so we're going to take a quick break let's roll the beach boys that's right yeah you got that lens we had a request from Karen to play that so we're going to play that if he can find it but if he can't I'll play somethingll play something else.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back.
	I want to talk about targeted individuals.
	It's not something that I've talked about before.
	I've had many people who have said, you need to interview so-and-so, and they've had experience with it.
	I know that William Benny has talked extensively about it.
	He believes that he is a target of the government.
	And when we mean that, we don't mean that he's been targeted with audits or something like that, but really targeted with the electronically with some of the same types of tactics that have been used with the label of the Havana syndrome.
	And if you remember when that came out about 10 years or so ago, I talked at the time about Alan Fry who worked for the Navy.
	He's the only scientist that's ever been funded by the government to look at biological effects of electromagnetic radiation.
	And very similar to what they found with microwave radiation, the fact that you could cook food with it, he found that different frequencies than microwave would have effects that could affect your mind.
	And he had, you know, with a microwave, for example, they had some of the microwave technicians who were working on radar found that if they left their coffee cup on top of the thing that wasn't shielded very well, that it would get hot.
	And that's why one of the very first microwave ovens was called a radar range from Amana, if you remember that.
	And because it came from radar.
	Well, Alan Fry's assistant realized they were working on something else.
	It was different frequency.
	And he started hearing these clicking noises like crickets and things like that.
	And those EMFs were actually manipulating his nerve, his auditory nerves in a way that it was making him hear things and so Alan Fry started doing research on that and a lot of people picked up his research and talked about it in light of 5G or 6G or some of these other things so when they started talking about the Havana effect that was people who worked for
	the U.S. Embassy in Havana and they were getting nausea, dizziness, and hearing clicking sounds.
	And I thought, hmm, I wonder if that's anything like the Fry effect.
	And I always believed that it was.
	They wound up having hearings.
	You had so many people who had been affected by it.
	And they basically kind of poop-hooed it and said, no, nothing exists, even though their own people are being hurt by it.
	And I think one of the reasons that they did that is they don't want you to realize that they are doing it, our own government is doing it to people they consider to be their enemies in the same way that the communists in China were doing it.
	A targeted individual is a short name for victim of government weaponization, said Puerto Rican attorney Anna Toledo.
	from Targeted Justice.
	She said in 2023, Cash Patel, who at that time was a former top official at the White House, the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community and the Department of Justice published his memoir, Government Gangsters, the Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy.
	Well, the problem is that he's joined the mob now, I think, and I don't think you're going to get any more truth out of him.
	He's gone to the other side.
	He discussed at that time 278,000 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications against Americans.
	278,000 FISA reports, right?
	So this is the star chamber where you're not allowed to know that they're coming after you.
	He said, she said, that is who the targeted individuals are.
	These are people who are often average Americans who have been wrongly classified as domestic extremist or violent extremists.
	The very first report that I did when I went to InfoWars was about a guy who was the victim of this type of approach.
	They put him on a no-fly list, and he didn't know that he was on the no-fly list.
	And he was on his way.
	from the continental United States to see his wife who was in the military in Japan.
	And he was flying actually on a military plane.
	They stopped in Hawaii to change planes and when he got on the second plane to take off agents came on board and drug him off and said you're on no fly list it's like I didn't know that how'd they let me get this far to Hawaii and he was stuck he was stuck in Hawaii because if you can't fly out of Hawaii what are you gonna do you're gonna take a slow boat out of there and he couldn't find one anyway We publicized it and he had some other people who helped him with it and they eventually got him back to the United States,
	they could not find out why he'd ever been put on that list.
	He had been vetted by the FBI for concealed carry.
	And he'd also been vetted by the TSA because he worked at an airport.
	And so they had done extensive vetting of him and nobody had found anything whatsoever.
	But somebody didn't like him and put him on a bad list.
	And this is what they can do with the FISA court.
	It's amazing to me to see this.
	You know, the FISA court and the FISA act, FISA came out of the hearings that they had because the church committee hearings in the Senate and the Pike committee hearings in the House, those were held to monitor what the CIA and NSA were doing because from their inception, they had been spying on Americans without warrants.
	And so they created this oversight thing, said, okay, we need to be able to spy on people.
	But we're going to say that they can't do it, except they're going to have to have a warrant, unless it is a foreign citizen, in a foreign country.
	Even if it is a foreign citizen in America, you've got to get a warrant.
	But then they wound up using this FISA court as a star chamber process to give them legal cover to spy on anybody that they wanted to without a warrant.
	That's how the government operates now.
	They take these structures that are there to restrain them and to keep them within a system of rules and within the constitution., they take those very systems and they use them as legal cover to enable them to do what they are legally prohibited from doing.
	They said they've been placed there under secret criteria, of course.
	You don't have any right to confront your accusers, you don't even know that you're accused.
	You're never supposed to find out that they're on this database because it's a blacklist for enemies of the state.
	Toledo said Tulsi Gabbard declassified about two months ago a December twenty twenty one memorandum by the Biden administration that classified as violent extremists.
	Anybody who opposed the COVID mandates and the vaccines and the lockdowns.
	though you can bet that I'm on one of these lists.
	It's probably why they sent me.
	Yeah, that's probably why they sent to PayPal.
	They said, we can't find anything except we got this message.
	We don't know who it's from.
	Said, take this account off immediately.
	You are subjected to government surveillance, harassment, even potentially torture with directed energy weapons.
	Referring to the Havana Syndrome hearing that was held May of 2024 by the Committee on Homeland Security.
	And whenever they have these committees, whenever they do these things, they have an inquiry into the JFK assassination or in the UK they had an inquiry into how they handled the so-called pandemic.
	Whenever they do that, these things are set up to be a whitewash.
	They're not ever going to expose anything.
	She said these directed energy weapons can cause a range of symptoms from feeling unwell to experiencing horrific burns and attacks that can be used to make a person believe that they are going crazy.
	The symptoms of Havana syndrome such as severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, cognitive problems, and a sensation of pressure on the face was exposure to directed radio frequency energy with psychological factors considered as a secondary contributor.
	I have to say that that is one thing that I've not experienced.
	I've not experienced any of that kind of stuff.
	She noted that it not only affects diplomatic, military, and intelligence officials, Dr. Michael Hoffer, who said that he had been prohibited from diagnosing any more civilians with Havana syndrome, suggesting that there was a cover-up of civilians that were being targeted.
	She believes that Havana syndrome is a silent epidemic in America.
	Neuroscientist and neuroethicist Dr. James Giordano has admitted in a Catherine Herridge interview that directed energy weapon attacks are occurring in America, and he co-authored a paper published in April of this year stating that these weapons are likely the cause of Havana syndrome.
	Again, Bill Binney, who was an NSA whistleblower, and he was the, formerly, he was the global technical head of the NSA, has gone on record in interviews saying that he believes that he is a target of directed energy weapons.
	Toledo explained how to identify a weaponized cell tower.
	This is something you may want to know if you think you're in this category.
	Cell towers with a level featuring four panels facing the same direction contain a microchip, she said.
	The microchip patented by Ericsson Company is a beam forming chip that can fire microwave beams.
	She suggests that one way to stop the Havana syndrome epidemic is to de-weaponize these towers by removing or disabling the chip.
	Well, I don't know if this is true.
	All I know is that this is one of the things that concerned me about 5G when I looked at it.
	5G.
	can target you individually.
	Now, whether or not the government is doing this because of your political beliefs, I believe that if something has potential to create damage, it can be made more intense.
	They like to say, well, 5G is a very different frequency, which of course they've not done.
	done any safety studies to see what the biological effects of that frequency are.
	But what it does is it multiplexes the targeting of people who are in a given area.
	It can focus on one phone at a time and you can get signals from several different antennas focused on that one and then it moves to another and it does this very rapidly to everybody in the area.
	Now, I looked at that and I thought just, you know, that looks like that is ripe for being weaponized against people.
	I don't know if that's how they're doing it or not.
	It may be that rather than these cell towers.
	They said it began before twenty sixteen when the Havana syndrome became public after Canadian and US employees and diplomats and their families that were assigned to the US embassy in Havana began experiencing similar symptoms.
	Many mass shooters have also had a common thread of hearing voices due to the microwave auditory effect that Alan Fry had developed the so called Fry effect of voice to skull technology.
	Toledo briefly shared her personal experience as a victim of government weaponization for twenty years and believes that she was given an implant without her knowledge or consent during a surgery that she underwent.
	Anyway, it's a very interesting thing.
	Certainly, you know, the mistakes that we make when we look at what our government is doing is to underestimate their depravity, their lack of ethics, their lack of morals, and to underestimate their, we overestimate those things, I should say.
	We don't think anybody can be that evil.
	And we underestimate the technology that they're capable of, I think, when we look at these things.
	Yeah, we want to ascribe to them some level of humanity.
	Well, they're still human, so obviously they share someare something with us, but they really don't.
	They have no compunction about killing anyone, everyone.
	And that's how they manage to get away with it so frequently, because we can't believe that they would engage in evil on this kind of scale.
	Yes, that's absolutely right.
	Well, we have some interesting comments that were sent to us.
	Actually, I guess you picked these up off of...
	One of them, I just lost this.
	Hang on a second.
	One of them says, Travis will need his own show.
	And I'd love to see him die.
	I mean, we're very, very busy and Travis is very busy trying to get the show up after we do it as well as preparing for the show before we do it so um i yeah you should do that uh i don't know what's going on with your game show uh haven't had time recently things have just been so busy maybe now that we're doing this i'll be able to do it yeah see if it can it was fun it was enjoyable just to relax and chat with you guys and still get some cool information from you lots of very interesting people in chat with a lot of great information
	Yes, and we had a couple of things.
	This was sent to me.
	I think either you or Lance sent this to me.
	I think this is from Lance.
	That were yesterday.
	This is Don't Frag Me, bro two days before Epstein's asserted death, over $500 million was transferred to an Epstein Trust Fund.
	Well, that's the key thing, you know, when they look at this, the game that they're playing now is the Trump administration is saying that we want some particular documents that were part of the deposition in the court, and the court is reluctant to ever release those kinds of documents.
	But that's not going to tell people what the money trail would tell them.
	And so Trump can play the game and say, well, we've asked for this information, but the judge is keeping it from being released.
	But the reality is that what people really need to see is the money trail that would show who is being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein.
	Never get to see that.
	Never.
	Yeah.
	Nyssa Storm said Angry Tiger's interview with Gregory Marinero was fire.
	Well, I haven't seen that, but I'll just pass it on to all of you if you want to see that.
	I'm not even sure who Gregory Marinero was.
	Sounds like Marinino sauce.
	Manarino, I guess, is how it is.
	Yeah, I just saved a few comments.
	If it was something like a guest recommendation or someone that you might want to interview, I'd save them and then send them at the end of the week.
	That's what that is.
	Okay, good.
	Yeah.
	And Nice of Storm.
	also said the moon landing was mathematically impossible.
	If you do the fuel calculations, there was also not enough physical space for the people, for the equipment, the lunar lander.
	I've always thought about that as well.
	I had a guy with a master's in advanced math try to convince me, and he was blown away when he looked at all the numbers and the specs from NASA's own website.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Yeah, I also save things that might be like a story lead sometimes if you're looking that up.
	Yeah, the more I look at it, the less I am, Now the Chinese are saying they're going to go to the moon.
	Have it, bud.
	So, yeah, we'll see.
	We'll see what happens with that.
	There are some comments for today.
	Yeah, we got Marky Mark NJ.
	Thank you for the tip.
	He says, with fifteen minutes cities being a thing, do you think bicycle repair is a good skill to have?
	You might be on something there.
	That's right.
	You know, just like the Wright brothers, if you learn how to repair bicycles pretty soon, you might be able to make a flying machine.
	Exactly.
	Brandon Bennett, thank you very much for the tip.
	Says, Happy birthday, Travis.
	Well, thank you, Brandon.
	I really do appreciate it.
	BT Taylor 246.
	In the Civil War, the South was not able to get coffee, so they made coffee like drinks out out of sweet potatoes and stuff like that.
	Interesting.
	I bet that was good.
	I'd try it.
	Yeah, I'm I'm not overly skeptical.
	I'll try a lot of different things, not bugs, but when it comes to food, I'm pretty open-minded.
	I wonder if that's where the tradition of southern super sweet tea came from.
	Interesting.
	Could be.
	Paleo Armory, they tried to build the largest collider in Texas before.
	It failed miserably.
	Well, that's good.
	I'm glad to hear that.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Fun fact.
	The South Korean Mafia made millions making fake nickels with the cheaper material.
	Wow.
	Industrious, genius.
	Yeah, and now we have our own government governments doing that.
	Counterfeiting used to be an act of war like sanctions, and now our own government does the sanctions and the counterfeiting.
	We're beset on all sides.
	Radis bro, I foiled my M, I failed my MKUltra courses as a child.
	One of the, one of the only interesting things, one of the only things I've actually done with AI is I just fed in some of the, some random things I've written and asked like, based on the psychological evaluation you'd give this person, how difficult do you think they'd be to MKUltra?
	And they said it'd be very difficult and very unstable, likely to lead to adverse outcomes.
	So there you go.
	I'm not likely to be MKUltrid.
	If the chat program is correct.
	Yeah, who knows?
	Angry Tiger's Den.
	One year I went to the airport with a friend of mine and posted posters about the body scanners.
	That year I flew to Florida.
	They knew who I was before I took out my ID.
	I said, Welcome, mister Mate.
	They promptly questioned me in separate rooms and let me go on my way.
	Yeah.
	It's about intimidation.
	Yeah.
	We know who you are.
	You're on our radar.
	You've been noticed, citizen.
	And that line always, that line always stuck with me.
	We've been seeing you.
	Yeah.
	But that line, we've noticed you, citizen.
	That came from doctor Chabago.
	Yeah.
	He comes back, his home has been commandeered by the local communist official and everything.
	And the guy's watching him, you know, just waiting for him to get angry about what they've done to his family and to his possessions and everything.
	He keeps his cool and everything.
	So finally the guy just kind of gives up and looks at him and says, You've been noticed, citizen, you know.
	That's one world we've never watched.
	Yeah.
	You've mentioned it my entire life, but we've never actually watched it.
	I don't like that movie.
	I don't want to live in a world like that.
	We're already kind of there.
	Why would we watch the movie?
	Yeah.
	The other thing about it, my parents mentioned and they didn't like it because the fundamental plot was about adultery you know and uh the whole thing is that dr chivago leaves his wife and and uh you know, that's, but I, that completely went over my head when I was a child.
	The thing that stuck with me was the communism.
	I completely missed the adultery stuff.
	I don't know what's going on there, but man, these communists are awful.
	I don't know about this man and woman stuff.
	I was just exclaimed.
	Yeah.
	Well, thank you for joining us.
	That's it for today.
	Now we're going to do something for Travis for his birthday.
	Thank you all.
	Have a good day.
	Thank you very much for the birthday wishes.
	God bless you all.
	The Common Man The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the Common Man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth.orth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidnightshow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
