	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As a clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, September 11th, year of our Lord 2025, 24 years after.
	And we do have some updates about 911, but we're gonna focus to begin with on the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk.
	And at the same time that was happening, we have uh Donald Tusk, the Prime Minister of Poland is doing everything he can to drag us into World War Three through NATO.
	It is a very dangerous time that we live in.
	One of the things that I tweeted well, I'll talk about what I I said yesterday on uh Twitter.
	But uh we're at the middle of a fourth turning, aren't we?
	We'll be right back.
	I'm afraid I did.
	It bothered me.
	This is what was put out.
	On life site news.
	Yeah.
	The thing to take away really is that there are two young children that are going to grow up without their father now.
	Yes.
	This is what John Henry Weston.
	And he said to focus your prayers.
	That's what you should be thinking about.
	Oh.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, that's what uh a lot of people don't think about, which is um we look at murder and uh we casually blow people up because they are foreigners or because they're on a suspected boat or whatever.
	They have families too.
	And uh this violent culture that we live in is truly the amazing thing here.
	You see, the this is uh a medley here where they have uh his children that he's interacting with.
	Very young children.
	He himself was very young.
	And uh the murderer is still at large.
	Um first announcing that they had apprehended him, and then uh saying they didn't.
	So uh they had gotten somebody right away who had been shouting abuse at Charlie Kirk.
	Here's the thing.
	Uh you know if I w if you've watched this program, you know that I have big differences with Charlie Kirk.
	He has been a huge cheerleader for the Trump family.
	And um so it it's not about that.
	Uh it is about the fact that uh we need to be able to speak.
	And that was one of the things that Charlie Kirk did that was right.
	He would go to uh places where they disagreed with him and he would try to openly debate people in college, which colleges are trained not to do that.
	They keep saying speech is violence.
	What they mean by that is that if you say something they don't like, they'll get violent.
	The same way that when they talk about hate speech, they really mean uh they hate speech.
	They hate free speech.
	And so he went to the places where they were being trained to hate speech, and he put up a sign, you know, uh prove me wrong, and he would debate them on various issues, political, religious, you name it.
	And um that that's the way that it should be done.
	You know, Charlie would have as guests people that he disagreed with, and he would let them speak.
	He didn't just scream at them, he didn't call them terrorists or this or that.
	Uh he just he let them speak, and he he interviewed them with that, and I would disagree with him on a lot of issues, a lot of issues.
	But um again, because um, you know, he put himself in the position to be an apologist for Trump.
	But um, you know, he went on Gavin Newsom's first uh podcast, and the two of them had a civil discussion.
	Gavin Newsom.
	That tells you that uh he really did believe in debate.
	I mean, if ever there's gonna be somebody that should be tempted to have an ad hominem attack, I guess it would be Gavin Newsom.
	But uh uh that that was good, and that was the right thing to do.
	And I think that it shows us just how dangerous things are, and yes, it is where the left is coming from.
	However, let's understand, let's not feed this left-right hatred and civil war.
	Let's understand that the right is equally capable of trying to cancel the uh other side, and they've shown this time and again.
	Uh they don't like some what somebody says they will seek to cancel them to get them in trouble as well.
	And this censorship has been marching left, right, left, right.
	It doesn't matter whether it's Republican or Democrat and control of Congress and the presidency.
	Uh they all are still pushing speech control.
	Have you ever heard can you remember ever hearing in uh recent memory any politician pushing back in general against uh hate speech rules?
	No, they just keep extending it, and they have different things that they hate.
	That's what the different parties are about, but they all hate speech, and that's where Charlie Kirk was a bit different.
	Uh so uh ironically, he was as he was speaking, uh he was um um he was being asked about uh the uh shooting uh violence, and and he says, Do you mean gang-related or whatever?
	And that at that point he was killed.
	But uh there was another shooting yesterday in Colorado, uh at a school, two killed, plus the killer uh was killed in the school.
	Again, this killer is free.
	And as Greg Gutfield said, it had a professional feel to it.
	Uh that was a very, very long shot.
	It was reported by um an error by some um outlets as 200 feet, but it was 200 yards, and I think if you look at the shooting map, you can see just how far that was.
	Um it was um it was I think 200 yards.
	So yeah, it had a very very professional feel to it.
	But here is Charlie Kirk uh talking about what he did on campus.
	I go around universities and have challenging conversations because that's what is so important to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully because when people stop talking, that's when violence happens.
	I've never seen someone do these.
	Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence, assaults the left.
	Yes, the campus antifa.
	I've been stormed out of restaurants, I've been assaulted publicly, multiple death threats.
	Okay, so what's your call?
	There's more people that agree with me than some people would actually believe, and they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this.
	We record all of it so that we put on the internet so people can see these ideas collide.
	When people stop talking, that's when you get violence.
	That's when civil war happens.
	Because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.
	Yeah, and so uh as I pointed out yesterday, there have been uh five assassinations or assassination attempts in the last year or so.
	And um, so it is uh we are at a fourth turning.
	And as you point out, you know, you make uh it's kind of a paraphrase of what uh someone said um accurately said that when you make uh was it JFK said when you make peaceful change impossible, you make um a violent change inevitable.
	I think I'm paraphrasing it, and I don't remember what was a conclusion.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the general idea.
	So uh this is Jason Cha Chafez, uh, who actually represented this area in Congress before he retired, and he talked a little bit about the shooting on Fox News.
	Fox News contributor.
	Jason, you were there.
	I I could hear uh how upset you are in your voice, and I I think we we all are feeling it, and I just um but you were there.
	So so what tell us what happened.
	Yeah, that happened like 35 minutes ago.
	Um I was there.
	Um I was up kind of on the second level because I wanted to be in the shade, but our daughter was there, her son-in-law was there, my wife was there, friends.
	This is our community.
	And uh, you know, there's two thousand or so people.
	The Utah Valley University is our largest university, 40,000 students, and people came out to hear the dialogue, the back and forth.
	Ask him anything.
	That's what turning point Charlie Kirk's all about.
	Ask him anything.
	First question was about religion.
	He he went on for about 15, 20 minutes.
	Second question, interestingly, was about transgender shooters, mass shooters.
	And uh in the midst of that, um the shot rang out.
	Now I happen to be watching Charlie.
	I can't say I saw blood.
	I can't say I saw him get shot, but as soon as that shot went out, he fell back into his left, and uh everybody hit the deck, everybody's a lot of people started screaming, um, and then everybody started running, as you might expect.
	Um that's the thing.
	Uh I think that's why, you know, Gutfeld said it had a professional feel to it.
	Uh this is not somebody who's just angry in general and wanted to shoot up the place and kill everybody that was there.
	It was very focused, very targeted and uh very accurate.
	But there's a sick censorship mentality behind all this.
	You know, for the longest time when I was growing up in college, the left was all about free speech.
	And that's like I said before, both sides can censor what they don't like.
	And so at that point in time, you had uh the conservatives run the Vietnam War, you had most of free speech was protest about that, and uh they were being pushed pretty hard by the college administrations to shut up and to shut down the protests.
	And so, you know, they hid behind the first amendment.
	As soon as they got in power, they got much worse than the right had been.
	And so uh, you know, he says um uh they put out a uh uh petition.
	Uh as you pointed out, this was the largest Utah uh university, I believe, 40,000 students.
	Ahead of the tour, a petition was created August 29th by students who did not want Kirk to visit the university.
	Utah State University has consistently worked towards fostering an inclusive space for all of its students and family.
	So they want to exclude him.
	This is the blatant hypocrisy of these people.
	Uh they want to exclude people that they disagree with.
	We must not be like that.
	Letting a figurehead whose speeches often seem to undermine the essence of inclusivity.
	No, he would allow everybody there, people he didn't agree with, and you know, they could ask their questions, they can make their statements and let people decide what they agreed with.
	Do they even know the meaning of hypocrisy if they taught them that at that university?
	Out of 40,000 students there, they had in a short period of time, six thousand of them signed the uh petition before it was closed the day before uh the event.
	Uh so that's about fifteen percent of the students immediately signed up to say we don't want to hear anything.
	I don't want to close our ears, close our minds, and shut your mouth.
	And and this is what I've seen from the very beginning when Karen and my daughter were protesting at an abortion clinic in Austin, they had signs that said uh abortion is black genocide.
	And uh they were there for a short period of time, and then these anti-far radicals showed up.
	And they didn't have anything to say.
	They didn't want to argue, oh no, it isn't genocide.
	It's not murder.
	As a matter of fact, Karen got a viral clip of one woman looking right in the camera saying, I kill my kids.
	I'm proud of that.
	And uh that but there was a guy that was focused on Karen, and uh we were covering it live at InfoWars, and uh he c he comes there with just a black sign.
	A black sign said nothing on it, and he put that sign in front of Karen's sign, and she moved her sign down.
	And so then he moved his sign down, she moved her sign up, and the two of them were going up and down, up and down.
	And that but that was the whole point.
	He just didn't want her to say anything.
	He had no argument, he had no ideas.
	He just wanted to silence the other side.
	That is reprehensible.
	And that's the kind of person that does the this type of shooting, except like I said, it certainly looked professional.
	So you can ask yourself, is this going to be used as uh an opportunity to increase the police and surveillance state?
	And I think it will be.
	Uh he founded Turning Point in 2012, when he was only 18, he dropped out of college to do so.
	And uh he was an early supporter and a key supporter of Trump's presidential campaigns all the way through this, as I said, um I uh strongly disagreed with him on that.
	Uh I thought it was counterintuitive to all of the policies that he would argue eloquently for.
	Turning Point's USA mission was to counter what Kirk and his allies saw as liberal dominance on American college campuses.
	He cultivated a style of political engagement heavily reliant on confrontational public appearances.
	Uh that's what we used to just call debate.
	Oh, it's it's confrontational.
	Oh, he is uh pushing the buttons of these people, right?
	Um again, he was the one who was truly inclusive, not like the left.
	Uh he promoted uh traditional values, often encouraging young women to prioritize becoming homemakers and mothers over professional careers.
	But he would also, this is one of the things I criticized him for.
	He would also virtue signal by bringing in homosexual activists and defending uh them as conservative and as Christian, even.
	And so there was this contradiction that was there, but you know, probably all of us have contradictions in our lives.
	Um Kirk often openly criticized programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as they call it, DEI, a major proponent of Christian nationalism, arguing that there is no true separation of church and state in the United States.
	And um, again, um the um uh he he was right about that.
	Somebody's religion is going to prevail.
	Somebody's religion is going to be the basis of our laws.
	The question is, whose religion is that going to be?
	And so um he was right to oppose that, I think, uh the uh separation of church and state.
	And we don't want to establish uh a religion, but we want to have the free exercise of it, which is where the left was.
	At the same time that they were uh radically out there promoting the idea of free speech for their protests, they were also trying to shut down the free exercise religion, and back in the 60s, and we've seen what's happened with that.
	Uh so the uh shooter is still on the loose, even as of this morning.
	Uh there was an elderly man that was there uh hectoring him, and people thought that uh he was the shooter.
	Um they took him away, and there were pictures of that, but he was not the one.
	They all agree that there was a shooter about 200 yards away on a roof.
	And uh the interesting thing is some of the reactions, like MSNBC.
	This is even from MediaIt, which is a left-wing anti-Trump um uh publication.
	The headline is MSNBC failed the moment after Charlie Kirk's assassinations, as Mediaite.
	His killing is never a political story first.
	It is a human one.
	And in the moments after the news broke, the country needed sober coverage and space to absorb the shot.
	But what he got from MSNBC was something else entirely.
	The aggressively progressive network reported the news of a conservative thought leader being shot, an apparent victim of political violence.
	How MSNBC treated this news was a massive test that they sadly failed.
	Everybody is talking about it.
	Within seconds of reporting that he had been shot, anchor Katie Tur speculated about whether Trump might use the Charlie Kirk shooting as justification for something bad.
	Her guest MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd suggested Kirk's own rhetoric bore responsibility.
	Hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions.
	Well, there you go.
	See, speech is violence, and so it justifies our violence against somebody.
	Alan Smith wondered if conservatives might now do something similar to taking over Washington.
	All of this is viewers are just learning that Kirk had been assassinated.
	Media Iight says the instinct to immediately translate grief into partisan analysis wasn't just jarring.
	It revealed how MSNBC and by extension much of the left leaning media ecosystem has lost its ability to see political violence as anything other than fodder for politic for partisan storylines already in place.
	And again, mediaite, if anybody is part of the left leaning media ecosystem, it is media, and uh even they call that what MSNBC did.
	They say contrast that with how CNN and Fox News handled the moment.
	Both networks largely stuck to the facts, emphasizing the shocking nature of the act, confirming details as they came in, leaving space for the human toll.
	Fox anchors went further, condemning political violence outright while steering clear of speculation.
	CNN, not usually shy about analyzing politics, showed entirely appropriate restraint.
	They treated Kirk's killing first as news, then as a strong argument against political violence of any stripe.
	You know, I include political violence in that.
	I include war.
	And sadly we don't.
	It's uh it's amazing because uh when you start these wars just because of somebody's geopolitical ambitions, because they want their name on a country, or because they want the oil that some country has, uh it's eventually going to come back, and you're gonna have people dying who have young children and families just like Charlie Kirk.
	They might be wearing a uniform when they die.
	Uh but uh that's still what's going to happen.
	At a time when American might Americans might reasonably expect a moment of civic pause, a suspension of the endless partisan frame, MSNBC defaulted to reflexive politics.
	Um, as did many figures in alt media or as I call it, the nudge news, uh screaming Democrats are terrorists.
	It's just, you know, let's not feed this partisan divide.
	Uh again, you know, as I said, even though I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on many issues, he was there to make a statement and to argue uh and to debate these issues, and the issues are what is important, more so than the people.
	And uh MSC MSNBC delivered knee jerk politics, and doing so revealed just how low the bar for journalism has fallen, says Media Eight, and they're absolutely right.
	Uh one of the things that they said, uh, which was truly amazing, they said, Well, we don't know if maybe he was shot by one of his own people in celebration.
	As if that is something that ever happens at any conservative rallies.
	That's uh I've seen it happen in Muslim weddings.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	That's the only place I've seen it.
	So that Afghanistan or Iraq, where they they have a wedding and they're shooting guns off in the air, and you know, those bullets are going to come down somewhere and they're just shooting them straight up in the air.
	Um but they shoot a bullet straight up in the air, it falls at the terminal velocity of the bullet, which typically isn't enough to kill someone, but typically are doing a lot more dangerous things than that.
	Yeah, that's right.
	So we don't know if this is a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.
	Isn't that ridiculous?
	That's MSNBC.
	So we have no idea about this.
	But following up with what was just said, he's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures, constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech.
	It always goes back to hateful thoughts that lead to hateful words, which lead to hateful actions.
	In other words, it was his fault.
	He shouldn't have just uh shut up and let them change everything.
	Charlie Kirk was an extreme moderate.
	He said nothing uh was controversial and stuff that would have been the standard Republican Party line from ten to fifteen years ago.
	Yeah.
	I've never once heard a position from Charlie Kirk that I thought was in any way extreme.
	It all sounded very much boilerplate to me.
	Yeah, it's very moderated.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And um that's one of the reasons why he was able to grow his organization so that's part of the reason I didn't listen to him.
	I thought he was uh too milk toast.
	I didn't think he went far enough.
	Yeah.
	You are the hate, said Anna Paulina Luna, unloading on liberals, uh, after the Charlie Kirk uh shooting.
	So again, we don't want to fall into this either.
	Uh she screams at the Congress, every one of you who called us fascist did this.
	And um again, the article that I tweeted out about it, um, I said uh, yes, he would debate people, which is what we need, and that's why he was hated.
	Uh just having uh debating ideas is enough to get you killed, evidently.
	Did you notice that America has had five assassination attempts in a year, said RT.
	The US is bearing witness to an alarming trend of politically motivated violence and high profile assassination attempts.
	And um they say the U.S. has entered a disturbing cycle of political violence.
	It's called the fourth turning.
	In the past year alone, multiple high profile assassination attempts have shaken the country.
	And so they include, of course, uh uh Charlie and uh the uh shot at uh Trump, which I don't know, whether it was real or not.
	It was political.
	Uh Minnesota House Speaker assassination.
	Um a guy went to their house and shot them dead.
	They were not out speaking or doing anything, and uh they were Democrats.
	And then um in Illinois, uh Nick Fuentes on December eighteenth, this last December, guy showed up armed with a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary device at his house, or I guess his parents' house.
	Well, he was live streaming.
	Oh, he doesn't?
	No.
	Uh the individual turned out to be a triple homicide suspect who was shot and killed by police following a chase shortly after the encounter with Fuentes.
	So that's kind of interesting.
	Triple homicide suspects.
	This guy was serious.
	Yeah.
	You know, you first look at this, it's like a crossbow and incendiary device.
	It's like that sounds kind of cartoonish, but he was, I guess, going to blow the house up after he killed him.
	So Kash Patel jumped in and was saying that the uh subject had been arrested.
	Uh, but then he walked that back and um uh said the subject in custody, I think he meant to say suspect, but um, has been released after interrogation by law enforcement.
	So they don't have anyone yet.
	Uh they said on the uh radio traffic they were looking for someone who was dressed all in black with a black bag, sunglasses, and a long gun.
	So I don't know if they had any there hasn't been any surveillance footage released.
	I don't know if they had surveillance footage on the on the roof or whatever, but there were a lot of people who had um uh caught some figure moving on the roof at a distance, but you couldn't see anything.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	After the manhunt was underway, Jesse Waters expressed doubt that the assailant was being captured, says if you look at the geography around the area, you can just walk down from that building, get in your vehicle and be in the mountains in ten minutes.
	You could be at the airport in Provo in five minutes.
	I'm a little worried that this manhunt is going to go on a long time, because if they don't have this guy now, there's no telling where he could be.
	Uh and um uh as one of them said uh Kennedy uh said as they were talking about on Fox, it is a message meant to silence people.
	An act of terrorism because although Kirk was not a politician, he was political.
	And he was powerful.
	His power came from joy and igniting a movement and being really, really convincing.
	That person intended for this assassination to silence everyone who agrees with him.
	And to silence everyone who wants to go out on a limb and make their case and refute so much of what especially younger people are being fed.
	And I think that is absolutely true.
	You know, we must not be cowed down by these types of threats.
	Did you want to say anything?
	What do you think?
	Uh just should they?
	It's um I'm very upset by this.
	Um I've seen hundreds and thousands of leftists online celebrating this.
	Really?
	Just reveling in the fact that Charlie Kirk is dead.
	And so I understand not wanting to create more divide, but to put it bluntly, there is no real accord with these people.
	You want to try to reach them, but you have to treat them like a dangerous animal.
	Yeah.
	They will turn on you, they will sell you out, they will do everything in their power to harm you and your family.
	They have no compassion, they have no mercy.
	They hate you.
	The Andy Bog or LGBT and everything.
	We've seen that.
	Just your standard everyday average liberal.
	Yeah.
	The wine mom down the street, the woman that works the counter at the bakery at your local grocery store.
	These are the people that are celebrating.
	It has spread everywhere.
	It is not just Antifa anymore.
	We saw those articles about how you know 55% of liberals think that violence is acceptable, that murder of a political opponent is fine.
	It is gone mainstream.
	The majority, or at least 50% of liberals now think that this is an acceptable form of political dialogue.
	You shoot the guy.
	That's what they believe.
	And again, you want to continue to reach out to people.
	You don't want to give up on that.
	But you have to be careful.
	You cannot assume that these are going they're going to engage with you in good faith or in the same way.
	I agree.
	They're not all going to try to shoot you, but they will probably do what they can to make your life miserable, whether it's called CPS on you or anything like that.
	There was a video not that long ago of one of these uh you know liberal debaters that's popular on TikTok who had a disagreement with some guy, and because he disagreed them said, Well, I'm gonna call CPS on you, and maybe some people in our audience can dox you.
	These are the type of people, and this is the type of taxi tactics that they use.
	It has become commonplace.
	Yeah, I agree.
	The colleges have seized uh on this and have done their best to amplify the worst aspects of human nature, Lance.
	It's a sort of total war mindset for speech and debate.
	It's well, if you say something that I disagree with, then I am justified in doing whatever I want.
	It's the uh equating speech to violence and all the hate speech laws and all the propaganda is all just a part of that push.
	I agree.
	And I want to be clear, it's just I know that I know liberals that are saddened by this, that are wounded, and they hate this, they hate to see this, and I know there are a lot of people that's still on the left that don't believe this way, but there are a lot who do.
	So you have to be careful.
	Don't just assume that they're one way or the other, but guard yourself as well.
	Yeah, you cannot give up on dialoguing with people.
	Again, it's important to try to reach out and to have conversations and to reach these people in a you know cordial manner.
	It's you know, we don't want violence, we don't want to devolve into that.
	Because once it starts, it's not going to stop until it has become a mass scale tragedy.
	You know, once a revolution starts, it plays itself out one way or the other.
	Yes.
	And you don't want that.
	However, you need to be careful.
	You need to understand where a lot of people on the left are coming from.
	And to ignore that is to put yourself in danger.
	It is to put yourself at risk.
	Yeah, it is it is far more prevalent on the left than it is on the right.
	It does exist on the right, though.
	I mean, we were talking about the Minnesota Speaker of the House, a leftist who is um I haven't looked into that much.
	I don't know if the other guy was uh hardcore uh right winger or whatever who shot her.
	But the bottom line is that unless we have have you seen anybody in any political party stand up for free speech lately?
	I haven't.
	I mean, I see it's like if you criticize uh what they hold dear.
	If you criticize the Gaza war, right?
	What does Trump want to do?
	He wants to deport you or I mean they come up, they're exactly the mirror image of the left.
	Except that they haven't started the kind of violent acts that we're seeing on the left now so often.
	It's like every week another leftist political shooting or training or uh this or whatever.
	And so yes, they are getting violent with that.
	But we need to uh not get drawn in, I think, into the uh partisan left-right Hegelian dialectic that dialectic that they want to do, because that's also part of their Marxist uh philosophy.
	And that's where this is coming from, Marxism.
	Uh Eric Peters had an excellent op-ed piece talking about that, how this is a hallmark of leftist Marxist totalitarianism.
	But remember that it can be done by the right as well.
	And you already played it once today, but that clip of Charlie Kirk on campus, I think is going to become iconic in context with this.
	Uh I can play just the beginning of that again if you want to.
	Yeah, no, let's play it again and we'll take a break and we'll come back and we'll take some of your comments.
	I go around universities and have challenging conversations.
	Um because that's what is so important to our country is to find our disagreements respectfully.
	Because when people stop talking, that's when violence happens.
	I've never seen someone do these.
	Well, it's a growing trend because people like me are facing violence, assaults the left.
	Yes, the campus antifa.
	I've been stormed out of restaurants, I've been assaulted publicly, multiple death threats.
	Okay, so what's your calling?
	There's more people that agree with me than some people would pot actually believe, and they come out of the woodwork when I do stuff like this.
	We record all of it so that we publ put on the internet so people can see these ideas collide.
	When people stop talking, that's when you get violence.
	That's when civil war happens.
	because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.
	Thank you.
	you you you You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We've got a lot of comments to get through.
	We've got Radis Bro.
	Thank you very much, Radis, bro.
	That's very generous.
	He says, in my opinion, I think they used a drone.
	The description of the suspect could be anyone, and I think that's the point.
	I haven't even seen a description of the suspect.
	I have no clue.
	Marky Mark and Jay, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, we must follow the old testament commands to eliminate the heathen.
	There's no peaceful coexistence with these people.
	There's no coexistence with them, it's either them or us, period.
	Well, I think that's one of the reasons why we create government, uh, that is to protect our lives and liberty.
	But an important part of that, so it doesn't become just total anarchy.
	And so that we don't fall under a totalitarian government that seeks out any of us is that we have to follow a rule of law.
	And uh unfortunately all those things are broken now.
	That's the whole point of these fourth turnings.
	We got B. L. Houghton on a better note, Charlie was worth 12 million, so his wiping kids are taken care of.
	Well, I'm glad that they will have money enough to be comfortable, however, I'm sure that all of them would say they would give up all of that to have him back in their life.
	That is um it's very sad for the children.
	And the fact that um this video uh the videos of him being shot exist means that most likely those children are going to encounter it at some point.
	They're gonna have to live with the knowledge that that video is on the internet and they're going to eventually see it.
	And knowing how awful and disgusting people on the internet are, some people are going to send it to them once they're older.
	KWD-68.
	Why didn't Trump send in Bradleys in 2020 to stop BLM?
	Yeah, I think again, I think that the powers that be, both Republican and Democrat want this.
	And that's why we m must not feed this left-right divide.
	Yes, go after the people, the violent groups on both sides who are doing this kind of stuff.
	And we need to stand strongly with the rule of law and with local police forces.
	Uh it's uh that's a key thing.
	And we need to stand on the values.
	Always look at this, and when I try to stay within uh it's it's very easy to just give yourself over to uh partisan politics or whatever, but I try to moderate that with the fact that I am a citizen of heaven, a disciple of Christ, and that is the point where we need to think about this.
	That's what's going to bring us back, folks.
	There's no salvation in any of these political philosophies or these political parties or these political uh prostitutes that we have.
	Yonah Anywhere, prayers for the bereaving surviving family of Charlie Kirk.
	Yeah, keep them in your prayers.
	Denver Adway, good thing the cops tackled that old bald man with a little white hair and glasses because he looked like the suspect, a real Jason Bourne, you know, so the real perk can get away.
	And that video popped up immediately after these shooting, and I was I I couldn't believe it was him.
	The first time I saw it, it's like there's no way.
	There's no way.
	Yeah.
	Yonah Anywhere, to be fair and honest, I detested Kirk's opinions, especially his pro-Zionist pro-genocidal stance.
	Yeah, I didn't mention that.
	And he is still my human brother despite our differences.
	Rest in peace.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, we've made our differences clear with Charlie Kirk on those things.
	We have made it clear that we do not agree, and in fact, vehemently oppose his stance on Zionism.
	But it's still to me it's heartbreaking to see a young father be taken from his family, and uh upsets me greatly.
	Yona and uh here's the uh elderly man.
	Yeah.
	It's just that's uh not I mean, I don't really know what an assassin looks like, but to me, I don't think that's it.
	Yona Anywhodi went on FB this morning, and all my liberal high school classmates were high-fiving like dancing Israelis over Charlie Kirk in September 11th.
	But I I'm telling you it is become mainstream.
	Yeah, it is so I don't pay much attention to social media anymore.
	I mean, I should because I'd comment about it, but it just disgusts me so much.
	Uh what it's become.
	Uh I was on Facebook and I have seen multiple posts with thousands upon thousands of likes celebrating and making fun of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
	Yeah.
	And yeah, Twitter is bad enough, but you know, they are ex.
	Uh, but I'm not even allowed on Facebook or YouTube.
	That's how badly they want me to figure that they could uh get rid of me uh without a bullet, they could just cancel me off everywhere.
	So I guess I got off easy.
	And uh again, it's a you don't want to give up on dialogue, you don't want to give up on trying to reach these people, but you need to understand how they feel about you.
	It does you no favors to go in blindly.
	I agree.
	It does you no favors to not understand that these people would turn on you in a second.
	Yeah, you don't want naive.
	You don't want to give into hate, you don't want to treat them the way they would treat you, but you need to understand how they would treat you and comport yourself occur accordingly.
	Yeah, just like when we talk about government, you know, we say uh our politicians or whatever, we don't want to project our values on them of normality or whatever, you know, these are psychopaths.
	And so I've always said many, many times, we always underestimate uh the evil that these people are capable of doing, just like you know, we're talking about here on the anniversary of 9 11.
	We always underestimate their uh the how evil they are.
	And we underestimate their technology as well.
	So culty sim.
	I saw the Kirk footage before I knew the context.
	No fair.
	Made so many people throw up and be very upset.
	I heard about it.
	I saw the distant angle first, and you know, you can't see much from there, I think.
	And I thought, well, you know, maybe he's okay.
	Maybe, you know, he got grays and he'll be right.
	And then I saw the other angle and I immediately knew there was no way it was too much blood.
	And yeah, you saw it first and told me I looked at uh Drudge.
	Yeah.
	And um I followed the link there, and that was a close-up, and I was like, oh man.
	It was um graphic.
	It's very brutal.
	It's the we have uh Doug Lug saying I didn't see any witnesses.
	Uh they spotted the shooter before the event on the roof.
	And Doug Lug, thank you very much.
	That is very generous.
	Says thank you, David and Sons.
	Hit the like buttons and help spread the word.
	Yes, thank you.
	We don't uh tell you to do that enough.
	But thank you for reminding us, Doug Luggan.
	Thank you for the tip.
	And Skunk Hollow Rose Gardens, thank you for that as well.
	He says, make Doug's ten at twenty.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Douglooks they spotted the shooter before the event on the roof.
	Well, I I know I saw a video of someone scurrying off the roof later.
	I didn't know he was spotted beforehand.
	Brit Belly, I did see a video of him prone then moving on the roof.
	Zoksaw Boxaz, put one step in front of the other and soon you'll be marching off to war.
	It's a dangerous business, Frodo walking out your front door.
	Doug a lug.
	I know that shooter had to walk by at least 50 cameras.
	Let's see if Cash can put his money where his mouth is.
	Francin, I kind of felt like 911 yesterday.
	Yeah, there was uh it's there's something happening.
	People are upset.
	Well, yeah, and it is the time that we're in, and there is um so I say we need to keep a lid on some of this rhetoric.
	Understand, it's just like situational awareness.
	You need to understand that there are threats out there to you personally, but we don't need to escalate it.
	I think uh one politician said, let's dial the temperature down a little bit on some of this rhetoric.
	And so when people are out there saying, you're the terrorist, you're this, you know, they're they're justifying uh you know, shooting and killing people because they don't need much justification to do that, as we saw down in Venezuela, as we have seen in Gaza, as we have seen everywhere.
	Governments don't really need any justification to p kill people.
	So we don't want to start a civil war.
	And uh as we look at that and we look at um what happened in Charlotte, that horrific thing as well.
	Um the Trump administration is trying everything they can to try to get the federal government involved in that.
	And clearly the you know, the the Soros prosecutors and people like that that are there in Charlotte cannot handle it.
	Uh will not handle that type of thing.
	But that is a local problem, and it has to be a local problem and locally solved or not solved.
	I mean, one of the solutions to that is just to get out of there if you live there, and if you can't change it, just like Chicago.
	But to federalize it, and that's what they're doing.
	They're trying to find an excuse to get um the Department of Justice in.
	You've got uh Duffy at the Department of Transportation is trying to say, well, that was a train, so that's our jurisdiction.
	No, it's not.
	And I don't want to have centralized policing.
	That is very dangerous.
	And I don't want to have a government that violates the Posse Comitatus Law at will, because that's there for a very good reason.
	Uh the most dangerous gang out there is the government.
	So we have to be careful that they don't use these events.
	Uh they could be very well, just like we said in 9 11.
	We they could be the ones behind them for all we know.
	I've got a comment here from Think Eric, just for the record, as a hunter with a rifle, 200 yards is not professional distance.
	If your hand is steady, that could be anybody.
	Rifles are accurate at 300 yards plus.
	Okay.
	So uh we're not hunters.
	I do a little bit of we do a little bit of shooting now and then, but you know, we don't have uh the base of knowledge you do.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Let's see where I was.
	And neither does Greg Goodfield, but you know, the guy had his um was able to escape.
	So there's that aspect of it as well.
	Um, you know, he he wasn't uh you know just some angry person taking random pot shots at a crowd.
	Yeah, it was uh he took that one shot, at least I believe it was only one shot, and then he just left.
	Yeah.
	We've got Doug Lug when they put Charlie in that SUV, he was definitely shot, not a fake blood bag.
	You can see him without a shirt on.
	Lots of blood if you look closely.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Well, if you see that video that was uh linked at the top of Drudge Report, um there's no question that that was a real shooting.
	That was not fake.
	Uh I I still don't believe the Trump thing.
	He needs to sell a product, whatever he used to heal his ear.
	He needs to uh have it uh sell that as a treatment.
	Trump miracle ear.
	You know, it's uh just grows the ear right back.
	But um that was real.
	That was real.
	It was uh very sad to see.
	Yeah.
	Wes Robertson 448 says no one will ever know who assassinated Charlie.
	Well, I hope they do find who did it, and uh sadly I think he might be right.
	Defy Tyrant 1776, Trump will use this as excuse for bigger police state, gun control, or both.
	Yes.
	Government has purposely created all this hate and division while every one of them are laughing behind closed doors.
	North American House Hippo, thank you very much.
	That is generous.
	I disagree with Dave's assertion that Hollywood will never show realistic depiction of the FBI.
	It's already been done the X-Files Nine Seasons and one movie of cover-ups, corruption and deceit.
	X-Files, one of my favorite TV shows.
	I never saw um I never saw Glenn Eastwood's uh movie about Jaguver Jagger, I think is what he called it.
	But uh I think he kind of showed uh Jagger for what he was, but certainly he did the um Richard Jewell story.
	That was very, very effective and uh an important story, and boy, they work hard to take that down.
	It's amazing to me because I watched the movie uh because they were so adamantly opposed to it.
	And the way they took it down was they said, Oh, well, you know, you implied that there was some kind of a uh an affair between this reporter and an FBI agent, and that is a slander against her.
	Shame on you, and they tried to meet Clint Eastwood over that and made it a scandal to try to keep people away from the the movie.
	But um that was a very important movie to show the FBI as it really is.
	Uh yeah.
	S.A. Miller 123.
	Charlie did believe that Christ was the way to salvation, and he was a great advocate for pro-life and also spoke against LGBTQ and transgender.
	Yes.
	Um I have seen a lot of different clips of him talking about Christ and salvation.
	And um well, again, I disagree with him on Zionism.
	I think he personally, I do think he may have actually been a Christian.
	I do think he believed, and I hope he did.
	Yes.
	You know, um, it's not on us to judge.
	That's right.
	We never know.
	Only God can see the heart.
	Yes.
	We have another uh clip on the board of uh the uh guy talking about how Kirk was talking about his faith uh right before his uh death.
	Um go ahead and play that.
	So I just need to find it.
	oh okay Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
	We'll we'll come back to that because one.
	I want his wife and the country to know that the last question he took, the last thing he talked about to people in Utah, thousands of people that wanted to come hear him, is that his message was one of love of Jesus Christ, of his belief in prayer, and he talked about that from his heart, and you can feel it.
	And he's done that multiple times before, but I consider it an honor to be there.
	It makes me mad.
	I'm so mad that this happened in our backyard.
	It's an embarrassment.
	Now, I gotta tell you, I used to be in Congress.
	I represented this area for better than this.
	But there's somebody out there who's evil.
	Absolute, total, complete evil.
	And they need to be taken down.
	Our law enforcement, I love them.
	They got to do a better job.
	There is no communication.
	You have a hundred thousand students between BYU and the University of Utah.
	They say somebody's in custody, then they say, oh, well, it's not the shooter.
	Right now, police are still pouring in.
	It's almost three hours later.
	They got to communicate with us.
	Is there a shooter that's still out there?
	And if so, what are we going to do to catch this evil person and make sure that he receives justice?
	That's what we're feeling in this community right now.
	But his message of love of God of Jesus Christ is one that I hope is part of his lasting legacy.
	Yes, and uh that was something that he would uh debate people on and uh when he would go into campus.
	Thank you, Lance.
	I forgot that I I thought I played that, but I forgot to play that.
	Uh let's talk about uh the attempts to get us involved into World War III that also happened yesterday.
	Uh NATO air defenses shoot down Russian drones over Poland for the first time.
	Oh, so Russia attacked Poland?
	Not so quick.
	Uh that's not actually what happened at all.
	NATO airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones overnight, said the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, who has been uh itching like Zelinski to start World War III.
	Um he triggered uh NATO's Article IV, while the alliance uh militaries directly shot down Russian uh drones for the first time.
	This is an issue with uh drones with autonomous killing machines, robots, and things like that.
	Uh you always have the uh the issue that they could uh actually trigger a war.
	And uh and what happened in this particular case, it was a massive attack uh by Russia uh into Ukraine with drones, and it's been going back and forth, both sides doing the same thing.
	Uh they said last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones.
	Uh it was actually 19 of them.
	And Tusk said that three or four of the 19 drones, which entered NATO airspace, posed a threat and were shot down.
	The others came down by other causes, including running out of fuel.
	And the Polish military is now researching is now searching for remains and has asked the public to remain vigilant and to report and to find wreckage immediately, so they don't have wreckage, and these things ran out of fuel.
	Does that sound like a military attack?
	Or does this sound like what I think it is, is uh some of these drones uh going astray.
	And of course, part of what happens during um one of these strikes is that they do use jamming equipment to try to confuse the navigation of the drones as part of their defense.
	If you remember Aristovich, the guy who said in 2019 that in three years in 2022, there would be direct war between Russia and Ukraine.
	Uh he was kind of frank.
	And uh he got fired because he pointed out in one of these attacks when Russia sent in some cruise missiles.
	One of them hit a uh civilian building and uh like an apartment building, and uh Zelensky tried to parlay that into international outrage and tried to build the war off of that, and the rest of which said it hit that building because we shot it and damaged it, and then it veered off and hit that building.
	So the question is if they are using jamming equipment to confuse these drones, is that what happened with this?
	There were four hundred and fifteen drones, according to their count, that were fired into uh the area, and uh 19 of them they said went astray.
	That's a pretty low percentage, I think is about 4% or something like that.
	Uh but um in some cases the drones crossed into Polish airspace from Ukrainian airspace, with the Ukrainian Air Force stating that it had detected eight drones overflying its Territory and heading toward Poland.
	Others flew directly into Poland from Russia's Lockstep ally Belarus, which lies to its north and east, and occupies some historic Polish territory.
	There were no injuries or fatalities in Poland, but some property damage was recorded, including a home, which local press said had its roof blown off.
	Four airports in Poland's east were closed overnight.
	Tusk told his parliament this is not because a threat had been identified to the airports themselves.
	So this is not Russia taking on Poland, as the Prime Minister tried to imply, and yet he wants to escalate this to NATO involvement.
	So clearly their own narrative to try to escalate this is contradicted by themselves.
	The military needed clear skies, he said, for intensive all night operation.
	The airports reopened the next day.
	Tusk called the incursion into Polish airspace an unprecedented violation, said most likely were witnesses to a large scale provocation.
	I think that's what his speech was.
	This is the first time Russian drones have been shot down over the territory of a NATO country.
	Well, do they actually have the drone wreckage?
	He said before today, Article IV has been activated seven times in the past.
	Most recently in 2022, at the beginning of Russia's renewed invasion of Ukraine.
	An emergency message sent to mobile phones in Poland read, attention, inform services about drones and locations where they fall.
	Do not approach them.
	So again, they're still looking for them.
	It was the Ukraine Air Force said they shot down, or otherwise downed 386 drones and 27 missiles out of the 42 missiles sent and the 450 415 drones.
	Rogue drones and missiles have found their way into Poland in the past over the course of the Ukraine war.
	So he's not telling the truth about that either.
	Such incidents accepted as accidental but dangerous.
	Yeah, the incursions overnight were distinct for their increased number and the sustained duration.
	Zelensky made it clear that he views this as an attack on NATO, so he wants to escalate everything.
	Testing the limits of what is possible.
	Well, this reminds me of the narrative that Zelensky and uh Donald Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister doing, reminds me very much of what we saw during the Syrian war in Trump's first term, and I think actually into uh Obama's term,
	where as the uh they would encircle uh an area that was uh the Syrian forces would encircle a town and heavily shell it, they were constantly trying to say that they had attacked them with gas, because that was the one thing that the West was aching for as an excuse to get involved, and it never was true.
	And it never would have made sense for Assad to do that.
	Now, after years of this, they decided uh during the Biden administration to just go ahead and invade anyway, and you saw that with the A 10 Warthogs, and that was the end of the Syrian war there, but they were always looking for an excuse to put boots on the ground so he had the white hat helmets if you remember saying they gassed everybody.
	And uh it was a lie.
	And so what Donald Tusk is doing is equivalent to the white helmet uh provocateurs shouting that everybody was gassed.
	That would be the one thing.
	If they why in the world would Russia, what motivation could they possibly have, or Belarus even for that matter, to send uh drones into Poland?
	That would be the one thing that would uh invite a larger war and a NATO attack.
	And they've made it very clear, and that's why it is so important to them that Ukraine never have NATO membership because they don't want to have these tripwires for NATO involvement.
	So the Russians feel uh must feel the consequences, they said.
	Russia must feel that the war cannot be expanded and must be ended, says Zelensky and NATO.
	They who do not want the war ended, they want it escalated.
	The BBC noted that Moscow media also promulgated the claim that far from being Russian drones over Poland, the aircraft were in fact a Ukrainian False flag attack intended to draw NATO into the conflict.
	Well, whether or not they were, the rhetoric of Zelensky and the Polish Prime Minister is intended to draw NATO into the conflict.
	The Belarusian government, a full-threaded ally of the Kremlin, which is in a nuclear weapon sharing agreement with Moscow, and which lets Russia use its territory to launch attacks into Ukraine, put out a substantial statement on the incursions, claiming that the drones had gone into Poland by accident.
	Ukraine, of course, having launched its own drones against Russia as part of the proactive defense as it does every night.
	Some drones lost their track as a result of the impact of the party's electronic warfare.
	It is certainly true that to save ammunition, Ukraine does attempt to redirect or to bring down enemy drones by using electronic countermeasures to confuse the onboard flight systems, crashing them harmlessly away from built up areas.
	Indeed, this has been cited as a reason behind the previous single case of drones and missiles crashing in Poland's borderlands in the past.
	Western capitals are unlikely to smile on the Belarusian suggestion that the that this was essentially Ukraine's fault, even if the drones were indeed Russian.
	But it does not give them the rationale to draw NATO into the fight, which is what both Zelensky and Tusk would like to have.
	Belarus also claimed that it had proactively cooperated with the Polish government throughout the night, asserting that it had notified Warsaw of lost drones it was tracking as they approached its air space.
	Our forces and equipment on duty exchanged information on the air and radar situation with the forces and equipment on duty in Poland and the Republic of Lithuania.
	In doing so, they alerted them to the approach of unknown aircraft to their country's territory.
	This allowed the Polish side to respond promptly to the actions of the drones by scrambling their forces on duty.
	In fairness, it should be noted that the Polish side also informed the Belarusian forces on duty about the approach of unidentified aircraft from the territory of Ukraine into the border of the Republic of Belarus.
	And so this is what happens when you have war.
	You can have uh not everything goes according to design, and uh and the people who want the war are going to seize on it to escalate it.
	Zelensky urges joint air force air defense with Europe after Russian drones downed in Poland.
	I have no reason to claim that we're on the brink of war, but a line has been crossed, he told the Polish parliament.
	The situation brings us the closest we've been to open conflict since World War II.
	That was the Prime Minister Tusk.
	Belarus said that the drones lost their way, also shot down over its own territory that were coming from Ukraine.
	Polish military operational command called the drones an act of aggression.
	Tusk said he had activated Article IV of NATO's treaty, under which alliance members can demand consultation with their allies, that he was in touch with NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, who would dearly love to have a massive war.
	I mean, he tried to starve his own people when he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
	That's why they put him in his backup position at NATO.
	Uh Ruta called the incursion reckless behavior, irrespective of whether or not it was deliberate, because they know that it was not deliberate.
	See, they're even calling this well, okay, we're not gonna be able to prove it was deliberate, but we'll say it's reckless anyway.
	Article 4 of the Washington Treaty, um only eight times this is the eighth time it's been used, does not trigger a military reaction, uh, and it's only this is the eight times eighth time it's been used since NATO was established in nineteen forty-nine.
	As Patrick Buchanan used to say, we have set up these tripwires all over the world to drag us into every conflict.
	But that's really not what's dragged us into these conflicts.
	I mean, we seem to start them on our own.
	We don't even need to wait for some kind of a tripwire.
	Um so again, we are in the position of NATO first, not America first.
	F-35 fighters helped to down Russian drones over Poland.
	Um we'll have to wait and see what happens with this, and the way this is reported by National Security Journal.
	F-35s to the rescue.
	This is uh these people cannot see the bigger picture.
	They're still playing war like their children.
	Trump's response on Truth Social was a terse statement for him, uh, but one that uh no other leader but Trump would ever consider.
	He said, What's with Russia violating Poland's airspace with drones?
	Here we go.
	Is that the way he's going to declare war?
	Here we go.
	Here we go, boys.
	Russian defense ministry said that it carried out attacks on Ukraine overnight, but that no targets in the territory of Poland were planned for destruction.
	The drones allegedly crossed into the Polish border did not exceed 700 kilometers into it.
	So that's uh what?
	About uh four and twenty miles, I guess.
	Tusk suggested that the incident couldn't have been accidental since a significant number of drones entered Poland.
	Well, it was only, like I said before, nineteen out of four hundred and fifteen by their own count, about four percent.
	Uh and there's a lot of things that are happening in the midst of that.
	NATO Secretary General Mark Rudas said the alliance was assessing whether the incident was deliberate.
	Whether it was intentional or not, it was reckless.
	So they already know it was not intentional, but they are using this nevertheless.
	Article four calls for member states to consult whenever territorial integrity, political independence, or security of a member is threatened.
	And um if it is, and they take it to Article V, and uh that is the founding of the Treaty of NATO that stipulates the parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.
	They agree that if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, an exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense, will assist the party or parties so attacked by taking forthwith individually and in concert with the other parties such action as is deemed necessary, including the use of armed force to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
	This is why we should be out of NATO.
	We do not want to have legal obligations that uh drag us into this.
	But notice that the purpose of war was to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
	That's what wars used to be about before they became preemptive before somebody attacks us.
	Uh that that should be the way that it's done, but we should not be drawn into every kind of war with this.
	And invoking of the Article V to attack is not automatic.
	Following an attack on a member state, the other members come together to determine whether they agree to regard it as an Article V situation.
	This is not even really legitimately an attack.
	Uh you can make a stronger case that um, you know, uh when you look at America and Iran, the accidental shooting down of that commercial airliner.
	Uh that was clearly an accident.
	Uh we have, though, done assassinations.
	We have done bombings of Iran and that type of thing.
	Um it's just so who knows what these people are going to do.
	Kirstarmer called for the drone incursions, called them an egregious, unprecedented violation of Polish and NATO airspace.
	So it's like we were attacked.
	From Canada, Mark Carney called Russia's incursion reckless and escalatory, and a post on X on Wednesday, adding that Canada stands with Poland and NATO allies.
	Well, the people who are trying to escalate things are their Ukrainian and Polish allies.
	So again, uh I've uh given you the case that uh Russia pointed out, and the nineteen separate violations happened over a period of seven hours.
	And uh a lot of these were fell to the ground because they ran out of gas.
	They were not shut down, and they were not necessarily attack mode, it's just like they got sent off, they were lost, obviously.
	Um so the Ukrainians are dreaming about dragging NATO in the conflict, says R.T. And uh we have seen this for the longest time.
	They want to drag everybody in.
	They want to drag the entire world into a war there.
	Tucker Carlson exposed Mark Cuban's hypocrisy on Ukrainian aid.
	Uh when asked about U.S. funding for Ukraine, Cuban uh vote voiced partial support saying, half of my family is Ukrainian, so you know, personally, I think we should help.
	But I don't have a studied answer for you.
	Well, Tucker Carlson was there at that program, uh, and he said, How much money have you sent to Ukraine?
	Personally.
	And he said, none.
	Oh, so what do you mean by we then?
	You're the one whose family is from Ukraine.
	Why don't you send them a billion dollars?
	He said.
	Cuban then tried to pivot, claiming that he was just trying to fix health care.
	Carlson swiftly countered, well, why don't you fix their health care?
	If you're like so deep, if you think that we need to help, why don't you start with it?
	How about you first?
	I notice that's never even an option for anybody.
	It's like we need to help.
	That's not what charity is.
	Forcing other people to help is not charity, said Carlson.
	Again, I agree with him on that.
	Um, we'll talk about Carlson in 9-11 coming up here, but the um, you know, as many people said, You want to fight this war?
	Go ahead and suit up, Lindsay.
	Uh, they don't do that.
	And here's Mark Cuban, multi-billionaire.
	He's got half his family is Ukrainian, and he wants taxpayers and Americans to get involved in the war and to send he won't do anything to help.
	A growing block of Republicans is opposed sending more money to Ukraine because of the long-standing corruption that is there, but Ursula, who is fond of lying, is hedging her bets, you know, even if they can't get a World War III there in uh Ukraine.
	She says, We are on the brink of a global health crisis.
	The battle lines are being drawn.
	Again, always a war stance with everything in their rhetoric.
	She is someone who has always in the past uh said we have to go to war against speech.
	Now she's looking at a global health crisis that uh maybe they can do it with that.
	If they can't get World War III, maybe they can do some kind of a pandemic that's fake and uh achieve the same type of thing.
	She warned that Europe is on the brink of multiple critical challenges, including a health crisis.
	We are on the brink, or even at the start of another global health crisis, she said.
	And she declared that battle lines for the new world order based on power are being drawn right now.
	It's kind of interesting.
	Used to be when one of these people like George W. Bush would talk about a new world order.
	New world order.
	When they would do that, it would make a lot of headlines, but now nobody even notices, even when it's somebody like Ursula, fond of lying.
	But again, it's all about Before we go real fast.
	It seems uh the FBI has come out and said that they have found what they believe is the weapon that was used to shoot Charlie Kirk.
	And they said they found some shoes that were left and some imprints of different parts of his body.
	So we'll see.
	Again, it's the FBI saying this, and we all know how trustworthy the FBI is.
	But that's what they're saying right now.
	Well, we're gonna take a quick break and uh we'll be right back.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen.
	Dear Klaus, your annual Global Risk Report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate.
	It is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies.
	In a world of deceit.
	Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Defending the American dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	Yeah, we're still uh ironing out some bugs in the studios.
	We had to change it around.
	But yeah, but welcome back.
	We've got a lot of different comments.
	I want to say thank you to Mike.
	Thank you very much.
	That is generous.
	It's because of your support that we're able to keep this show up and running.
	Apparently Stephen Crowder had posted something about an hour ago with more information about the shooter, the gun, and the potential motive.
	Well, maybe we'll have to check that out.
	Yeah, you were saying during the break that uh they thought that uh it was somebody of uh school age.
	Yeah, college.
	He said the suspect appears to be of college age is what's appearing online.
	Drudge has it linked in red at the top left.
	See, that's the thing.
	The these universities have become Marxist seminaries.
	I've said this for the longest time.
	They've been pushing and pushing and pushing hate for years.
	This we're now seeing this coming to fruition with Andy Faw and the rest of this stuff.
	And of course, um, there's a lot of different uh places where you can find a lot of very violent rhetoric coming from the trans community.
	You had those um trans radicals that were up in Canada that killed several people a few months ago.
	I don't know if any of you heard about that, but that was something that was going on.
	So there's a lot of very violent people on that side of things.
	And they did not like Charlie Kirk.
	We've got S.A. Miller.
	Thank you very, very much.
	That is incredibly generous.
	Are you able to scroll that?
	She said, God gives and takes away.
	We do not let Satan steal our joy, and we do not fear.
	We were made for such a time as this.
	Stay vigilant, keep your eyes on the Lord, he will sustain us.
	That's right.
	And I think if Charlie Kirk, as he was spending a lot of his time talking about Christ, and he has that kind of perspective.
	And for somebody who has that perspective, this is not the end.
	And so we just hope that that is really the case with him.
	Yes.
	North American House Hippo, thank you very much.
	It says, as Michael Rivero would say, here's your rifle, here's your parachute, here's your orange jumpsuit we have left over from Abu Ghraib.
	Watch your head climbing into that transport place.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And now Epstein Island, a lot of chatters at InfoWars are screaming for a civil war.
	We don't want that.
	Yeah, see, that's the whole thing.
	That that's one of the reasons why Alex was not touched with any of this stop the steel stuff that he ran because he is useful for them.
	He is the uh right side equivalent of deranged anti-faw.
	That's what he's pushing.
	Uh civil war would mean mass death.
	It would mean uh atrocities that it would be hard to imagine during the American Civil War.
	I forget what percentage of the p American population was killed, but it was a very substantial amount.
	It was huge for the South, especially because they didn't have that large a population to start with.
	It was a massive percentage.
	And you'll never know because they rigged the stats that we were supposed to believe.
	How many died for you?
	Oh, yeah, that yeah, that's not good for us.
	Nice round number.
	Six hundred thousand casualties for each side.
	Do you really believe that?
	I mean, there's no way that it's going to be something like that.
	And that doesn't account for civilian casualties either.
	But um there's no way that it was exactly even.
	They did that because they didn't want to they're trying to tamp everything down and lower the temperature.
	People were tired of having having war, and that's why the insurrection act that the Democrats wanted to use against the January the sixth people, that was pushed by some Republican radicals in Congress after the war.
	But um you had uh the president issued a blanket pardon to anybody that had been in the Confederacy because he did not want to continue the war.
	And I said when all that stuff happened, I said Trump could issue a blanket pardon to the people of January the sixth.
	There's a precedent for it, number one, for that very act that they were coming against people for.
	And I said, um uh the problem is is that both Republicans and Democrats are trying to push us into a civil war at this point in time.
	They're not trying to tamp it down.
	Yeah, I mean, that's part of the reason that all the military bases that they put in the south to keep eyes on them were named after famous southern generals.
	That's right.
	Like, oh look, see, uh, we're gonna name it after your guys, isn't it great?
	You know, we I'm also reminded of the start of the civil war.
	People didn't think it was a very big deal back then either.
	Uh ton of people thought this was going to be a minor distraction.
	Uh the first big battle.
	Uh huge crowd of spectators showed up with picnic battles.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	First Manassas, yeah.
	They were they showed up just to watch it.
	They thought it was gonna be like a sporting event.
	Uh they were quickly horrified at what happened and uh turned into a very large battle.
	But uh yeah, everybody thought their side was just gonna walk away with it and it was going to be a short duration, not amount to much.
	Uh no, not at all.
	War is never quick, it is never easy.
	It always spirals out of control.
	Niburu 2029.
	Today's division is a gleaming example of success, Obama's presidential legacy.
	Yonah Anywodi, now's not a time for violence, but peace and prayer must take precedence.
	Reject the devils and their paths.
	Yes.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	What you can get people to believe in absurdities, atrocities aren't far behind.
	That's good.
	Yeah.
	M sellers, he was definitely reaching the young people.
	Yeah.
	I mean uh there's a lot of people that are actually.
	Uh Kirk was one of them.
	Um there's others.
	Mama C 1996.
	When we murder babies in the womb by the millions, why are we surprised when we start to murder for differing opinions?
	I I agree.
	I fully agree with that.
	Yeah, we just don't get uh video of that.
	They they assiduously try to keep that quiet.
	That's why that animated film, the procedure, was so important, because uh that was based on what the horrified ultrasound technician saw to know that he was going to be part of a of an abortion, and he witnessed the reactions of the baby recoiling uh in pain and fear as it was being ripped apart limb by limb.
	Yes.
	Jimmy uh Jimmy Oakum won, two hundred yards of the average deer rifle isn't sub MOA, minute of angle for those that don't know that term.
	Two to three inch group is great.
	A headshot turning into a neck shot could easily be out of a professional sniper's hands.
	Minuteman militia seems everyone is so tribal now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I think back, you know, Greg Gutfield doesn't know enough about guns, and neither do I to make that kind of a statement.
	So it's it's what you were saying as well, exactly about that.
	That looks like they didn't uh just for drop enough and wound up with a neck shot rather than a headshot.
	It's uh again, I don't know enough about guns either.
	I do a little bit of shooting, but not enough to definitively say one way or the other, and there's just not enough information to make any definitive statements at this point.
	So I just I refrain from it, and I suggest most people should as well until we have more information.
	We may never have more information.
	Big Brit is back again.
	I would have thought security cameras would have been inside and outside the school building.
	Well, I guess they just need to uh they're working on retrieving the information from Flock cameras.
	Yeah, probably got flock cameras everywhere.
	Yeah.
	Skunkala Rose Gardens, drones flying around with countermeasures for RF attack are hazardous to wildlife and us.
	Yes.
	Definitely hazardous to our freedoms.
	PXMA, left really went south after Obama got elected.
	And things definitely got more tribal after Obama's election.
	That was the thing that bothered me so much.
	If you remember they had uh those students, it was some black students that were dressed up in paramilitary gear, and they were marching around uh as uh Obama was campaigning in 2008, and there were a lot of people who were concerned about that, and yet now uh you see that you know they're doing provocative things to get the left very concerned about that as well.
	That's what Trump is involved in.
	Um both sides are trying to escalate this and trying to escalate the fear of the other side.
	We've got Wes uh uh Skunkala Rose Gardens.
	Looks like Poland will be back-to-back starters for the world wars.
	That's uh that's a rather ignobile uh Ignoble award to win.
	Wes Robertson 448, the Ukraine war is driving competition betwixt nations in the development of technology that will ultimately be used against each nation's people.
	War generally does lead to technological leaps.
	It's just not technology that people generally want.
	And as Madison said way back when he said uh weapons, instruments of uh war abroad will be used as instruments of tyranny at home, and that's exactly what they intend to do.
	They've even talked about that with uh Ukraine 2030.
	Remember, I played that video several times.
	Well, in the future, we're going to be able to uh have everything that you interact with the government on is going to be part of this app that is going to control your life.
	Navy Doc 04.
	Thank you very much.
	That's very generous.
	Thank you.
	I I wish I had more words to say, but what else can I say besides thank you, and that it is because of you all that we're able to keep doing this.
	Says thank you for the coverage.
	It's quite a sobering day to be an American.
	It's been a sobering year, sobering few years to see what America and the people have devolved into and just how ready and willing they are to sell out everything that this country stood for to either get score a point against the opposing side or out of fear of what's happening, and it's truly sad.
	Yes.
	Skunkalo Rose Gardens.
	Nepal falls weeks after they decided to join BRICS.
	I guess they're going down like a sack of bricks.
	Yeah, they um uh they have been a totalitarian Marxist regime that's focused on uh on censorship, and uh we could hope that uh maybe some of the other regimes like that, maybe the EU even could learn a lesson, but no, they're not they're going to push on because they would love to have a uh an excuse to attack the population.
	Well, speaking of attacking the population and the government doing it, Tucker Carlson claims that Israeli spies knew about 9-11 attacks.
	Uh I I think they probably did.
	They may have assisted the CIA, but I think that it was our own government that did it.
	And I think they have teamed up on a lot of things, including the Epstein stuff.
	An interesting thing I think about this, though, uh is that um Tucker Carlson has a forthcoming documentary series on 9-11 attacks.
	Uh You think he's going to walk back any of the lies and spin that he's been doing for a very, very long time?
	Uh I mean, go back and and think about what he did with building seven.
	Remember this?
	Claims.
	Do you have any of the 2005?
	Sure, sure.
	Let's start with the uh collapse of building seven.
	Can you roll the video clip that I sent to you?
	Yeah, this is an engineer with uh 911 Engineers for Truth.
	Maybe there's some kind of uh code.
	You just don't show the collapse of building seven.
	I don't know what it is.
	They don't care if you think the earth is flat.
	It's not a threat to anyone.
	But if you say like what what actually happened with building seven, like that is weird, right?
	It doesn't like what's that?
	Right.
	If you were to say something like that on television, they'd flip out.
	They would flip out.
	Like lose your job over that.
	Why?
	Why?
	So he just admitted that's why he did that.
	Before it collapsed on September the 11th, 2001.
	It had not been hit by an aircraft.
	It had been damaged by falling debris and fire.
	But by 520 p.m., most of the fires have been extinguished.
	Although the building was 47 stories high, it doesn't fall sideways nor collapse unevenly.
	For this to have happened, all of the building's vertical supports must have given way at almost exactly the same time.
	Just a coincidence.
	Emergency Management Agency reported that the collapse was due primarily to fire.
	But what does it look like to you?
	Yeah, there it is again, silently.
	Now, Tucker Carlson had had this a physics professor on PhD in physics.
	And um he came on to actually show that.
	And uh he asked Tucker several times, and Tucker absolutely refused.
	And then over the years, Tucker would mock people, he'd say, When have you talked to these people about 9 11?
	They always ask you things like, you know, what's the melting point of steel and what's the burning temperature of airline fuel and all the rest of stuff?
	He goes, these people are crazy.
	It's like he knew completely.
	Tucker is such controlled opposition.
	It's disgusting.
	And so I uh he's gonna do a documentary series on 9-11.
	You think he's gonna be any truth in that?
	Is he gonna have interviews from his family in the CIA?
	Yeah, well, he go back and uh give this guy a chance to talk again.
	We'll have to see.
	Well, it was kind of interesting because the closest he's come to uh walking any of this stuff back is to admit it, admit that he lied in order to keep his job on network television.
	So he was complicit in the cover-up.
	Now he's going to produce a documentary, sure.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, as you were introducing the guy saying that he was a uh engineer for architects and engineers, uh, that was when Tucker was saying, uh oh, well, we can't play that, sorry.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He absolutely refused to do it.
	Uh multiple times the guy asks, can can we just show people a building falling and free fall?
	I mean, it's right there.
	Um so uh Tucker Carlson says, Well, I didn't allege that Jews did it.
	I don't even know what that means.
	I think, in fact, saying things like that is a way to discredit real questions.
	He would know because that's his job.
	He discredits real questions.
	That's what Alex Jones does.
	And his father, Tucker Carlson's father, worked for the CIA and the Voice of America stuff.
	So they know how to do propaganda.
	They know how to nudge people.
	They're pros at it.
	And um he's done that now for two decades, and so now he's gonna flip the switch and turn 180 degrees and he's gonna tell us the truth.
	Is he really?
	Is he gonna go back and admit that he lied to us?
	Is he going to admit that what he said was a lie, whether it was deliberate or not?
	No, he's not going to do any of that.
	As I said before, I think, yeah, there was uh uh cross-pollination between our intelligence agencies and theirs, just like there was with Epstein.
	Uh, we know that a group of Israeli art students who clearly were not art students, clearly some of them aligned with the Israeli intelligence, were arrested, held for some time in the U.S. before being relased without charges.
	We know that a group of them, I'm quoting from an FBI document, not the internet, filmed the attacks on 9 11 and seemed to have foreknowledge of those attacks.
	This is at a time when uh not every person had a cell phone that you can just whip out and start video taping, right?
	Um the first sightings of Israeli art students date back to the late two thousand to late 2000 when they began to show up at U.S. federal law enforcement and military agency buildings, trying to peddle artworks and to socialize with agents.
	The quote unquote students repeatedly appeared at unmarked locations and hidden side entrances, even visited some agents at their homes.
	According to media reports at the time, at least 140 Israeli nationals engaged in such activities were arrested between early 2001 and 9-11 attacks, while a further 60 were detained shortly after.
	Moreover, some of the groups of the students reportedly rented properties in close vicinity to the residencies of the 9-11 attack perpetrators.
	I think it was the U.S. government.
	They uh probably worked with, maybe even exploited some of the Israelis.
	When I look at this kind of stuff, what what Tucker is doing now, don't trust them.
	Because what it looks like to me is what these people are doing with the so-called pandemic of COVID.
	Uh, they're trying to distract attention away from the real bioweapon which was developed by our own government uh by DARPA and by the Pentagon and distract attention away from Trump who deployed it.
	And uh so uh they're saying, well, this was a lab leak out of China or something like that.
	Look, China was complicit, just like all these countries were, and selling the pandemic to the world.
	You know, they circulated all this information about how people were and film of people falling down and collapsing in the streets, which I that was the thing that convinced me that it was fake.
	But uh China was selling the pandemic, marketing it to people just like Trump was.
	Think about that.
	They're all on the same side.
	Who is it that's pulling the strings of all of these countries at the same time uh on both sides of uh uh every political divide?
	So again, uh be very careful about Tucker Carlson's so-called documentary.
	It is going to be filled with disinformation and misdirection.
	Uh so there's a little bit more info.
	Um The Gateway Pundit, this is from this morning, says breaking allegedly ATF doc claims weapon near Charlie Kirk's assassination site, had cartridges engraved with transgender and antifa phrases and symbols.
	Uh Steven Crowder posted this to Twitter.
	Um I don't I don't know if there's any provenance given so far, but Stephen Crowder was the first person to get the leaked manifesto of the Nashville shooter as well, so maybe people do send him things.
	The government does.
	Yeah.
	Again, these influencers that are out there, the nudge media, you have to ask yourself, what is it that they're going to do with this?
	Um I I said before, I think that the trainee people are crazy.
	But let's understand how they got crazy.
	They got crazy because of our school system.
	It's our institutions, our government institutions that are gender gaslighting these kids and mutilating them, among other things.
	Uh, they don't want to talk about fixing that, do they?
	No, they want to use this for their own purposes, saying we can identify a group of people that and call them dangerous and then uh take away their guns.
	And even if these people are dangerous and the guns are taken away, that that is the precedent that they want to establish, just like Trump and Biden both worked to try to establish gun control by executive order.
	Uh we've got uh was taking a question about uh trans mass shooters when he was shot.
	Uh that's interesting timing if uh is true that there was uh you know trans stuff on the uh shell casings might have been a case of waiting for a question like that.
	Yes, yeah, exactly.
	Well, who knows?
	Um all I can say is uh we have to stick to principles, and we have to understand that uh uh don't let these people frame the problem because they're going to sell you a solution that is not a solution.
	It's going to push you to what they wanted to happen all along.
	And so let's stick with the second amendment and let's uh fix The schools or end them.
	Instead of ending the second amendment, let's end the government schools.
	That's what I say.
	Well, we're going to take uh a break and we're going to be joined by Tony Arteman.
	And we're talking about the massive changes that are happening fiscally and uh economically.
	So stay with us.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	It is uh a time of rapid change, and one of the things that is rapidly changing is gold.
	So we have Tony Artiban of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver joining us.
	And again, you can uh get to his site by using David Knight.gold.
	Let him know that you came through us.
	And you can gradually start to accumulate gold.
	You can have a real savings program of something that will preserve its value.
	He's set up uh a uh wolf pack uh where you can buy in at different levels and just do this on a monthly basis.
	It's a great program, something I don't know of anybody else doing.
	Thank you for joining us, Tony.
	We've had a pleasure to to be here.
	I'm glad uh I get to talk to Travis this week as well.
	So that's right.
	He's a we can pull a double this time.
	A dual a dual mind.
	Um get to answer some questions.
	You're right.
	There's a lot of changes going on.
	You know, I think I'd frame that maybe a little differently, David.
	There's uh a lot of changes going on with the fiat currency system and the monetary system of the United States and around the world.
	But I think gold and silver have basically remained the same.
	Um I mean, they have they're the stable coin gold than we did.
	They're the real stable coin.
	The real stable coin.
	Yeah, well, there's uh there's a lot happening with with gold in this monetary reset.
	And it is interesting to watch.
	Uh something I've been curious.
	Uh you always followed the gold-silver ratios.
	And today it's about, I think it's about 88 uh ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold.
	But I started running the uh gold to bitcoin ratios, and that's been an interesting metric.
	If you actually go back uh to the end of 2024, it took about 40 ounces of gold to make uh one bitcoin, and now it takes 31.1.
	So uh there's been some there's a bit of a big leap in gold, even though you know Bitcoin was a hundred thousand in two thousand twenty-four at the end of uh twenty-four.
	It broke a hundred thousand and went to about a hundred and twenty thousand, I believe, around the Trump inaugural.
	But it's been trading sideways and chopping sideways a lot, most likely uh through the last few months.
	And you see gold continuing to just rise, and it's rising on uh mostly uncertainty, it's rising on central bank accumulation, and it's rising on the expected uh rate cut.
	Yes.
	And it's kind of interesting that even El Salvador, which had uh moved over strongly to Bitcoin, their central bank has started accumulating gold for the first time.
	Uh so uh I guess the people that uh name the country after Jesus uh have decided to start saving some real money, gold.
	But uh it's kind it's kind of interesting to see that happening and see even some of the stable coin people are talking about we're gonna set up a fund here that's gonna be Bitcoin, but we're gonna start accumulating gold for insurance.
	So you got some Bitcoin uh people who are accumulating gold for insurance as well.
	That's correct.
	And uh Tether, I believe, has actually gone into uh backing some of the gold mining operations.
	They're they're uh putting into the basis of infrastructure for gold.
	Uh this is a really interesting time.
	I I was I remember uh the interview I did with Alan Arrera uh and I mentioned this last week.
	He wrote a history of gold, but I was thinking about that this morning.
	There was a hundred thousand tons or so accumulated through all of history up until about nineteen ninety.
	And since that time, we've put another hundred thousand tons into circulation of mining.
	We've we've mined that much more gold, and the price is where it is still.
	So I think this is because we've got a lot of fiscal uncertainty.
	There's a there's a been so much debasement of fiat currency.
	Um it's it's hard to tell exactly what the true price of gold is, but I don't think we're anywhere near it right now, Dave.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And of course, uh they just had the producer price index come out and it showed inflation was higher than they had thought, but that didn't really move gold all that much a little bit.
	But uh the thing that really moved it this week was when they saw this massive record uh fake jobs report.
	I guess you know, along with their fiat currency, they have fiat jobs, things that don't really exist that they just make up out of thin air.
	And that had been happening throughout the Biden administration uh last year or so, and uh now they're having a reckoning as they start to try to backfill and remove these fake jobs that they put in there to try to pump him up and make them look good.
	And so that was one of the things that uh set gold off.
	But it's also I think the unrest that we're seeing, you know, the the attempts, the escalate attempts to drag everybody into World War III that we see.
	It's always all of these different things have always moved to help gold because gold is can be simple.
	It can be something that you have physical custody of.
	It doesn't even require for the infrastructure of the internet being there.
	Yeah, I think we make a mistake with we look at the price of commodities.
	Uh we think that they're priced into the metrics of all things financial globally, and they're just not.
	I mean, if you look at the uh supposed wealth of the world and all the transactions what's or in what's held, it's about 500 trillion.
	The market cap for gold, I believe, is about 20 trillion.
	I think silver is about two trillion, something like that.
	It's and so it's relatively nothing compared to all of the financial products and all of the seeming some you know what what is you know uh presented as wealth or or value around the world.
	I think we're just on the edge of something really historic, David.
	And and you know, I'm sure you know we've heard this before because they call it a great reset, but the financially um everything that in the United States, we just hear about these you know few stocks we hear about Nvidia, you hear about things like that, the Fang stock.
	Uh but the most of the the stocks you're they're just kind of dead to people.
	They they chop, they move sideways, they don't go anywhere.
	Yeah.
	Um it's we're have a different metric of of wealth here, and I think this is because of the changes that are on the horizon, monet the monetary changes are so massive.
	I think that's what's happening is seeing the prices of gold and silver and and and for lesser extent Bitcoin right now, I think that has a lot to do with the uncertainty around the world in adoption.
	Uh, I think that's why Bitcoin's kind of just sitting there not doing anything.
	Yeah, everybody is is looking for something that is real and authentic, as you point out.
	You know, we have this uh paper wealth that is astronomical, and gold is a teeny tiny slice of that.
	And I think people are looking at all these fiat currencies and all these different manipulations they're being done by governments and they're looking to fall back on something that's real.
	And I think that's one of the reasons why uh this um uh nonsense from the Bureau of Labels Labor Statistics, the BLS was such obvious BS, that's one of the things that really kicked off gold.
	It's like, you know, what is real out here?
	Do we have anything that's real?
	Well, that's gonna be the the big question after all these years after 1971 is uh what is real?
	At the end of the end of the day, we've had so much fake thrown at us, and you know, we have these booms and busts, and a lot of them are manufactured, and now the bubble's gotten so big.
	If you go back through monetary history like I like to do, you know, if you go back to some of the earlier panics like the panic of 1907 that we had, uh natural market forces were allowed to come in and everything was corrected.
	So it it was a longer period between boom and bust cycles and it wasn't as large.
	But when you artificially prop them up like we did with the uh the great financial crisis of uh 2008-2009, which was really unprecedented.
	We never really done anything like that before, where the the government uh you know putting pressure on the central bank uh created you know trillions out of thin air to prop up banks that were too big to fail or jail, and um the the consequences of that are still not felt.
	There's zombie corporations.
	I've talked about this many times instead of zombie corporations that are in effect propped up.
	Well, it still may be in the back of a lot of people's minds.
	It certainly is in the back of my mind.
	I mean, if they can if they can blow up real estate by using tokenization, securitization, and and fake financial instruments, then you know you want to physically hold something that is real, like gold and silver.
	And uh I think that it's it's a lot of people have got to be thinking about it in the back of their mind, like, you know, hey, look at what they were able to do with real estate.
	We need to get something that's real.
	Well, that's right.
	And then real estate in and of itself, I think is an open question of how secure that is.
	How much how much of a bubble is that right now because of the interest rates and that's the attempt is going to be to cut it by 25 basis points coming up to see if it can fuel the economy because we're we need that that debt creation.
	I mean, as long as there's currency creation and debt creation, then it seemingly is a healthy economy.
	But that's a foundation built on sand, as we know.
	And um the the looming financial disaster, I think that is out there.
	And I I'm not just being pessimistic for the sake of it.
	I think that that's just the data.
	I mean, we look at the debt, the uh explosion we were talking about September 11th, and I'm speaking today.
	By the way, I got my show next, but I'm gonna um I got invited to speak at the Rotary Club here in Denison, Texas for about 30 minutes.
	I told them I can I talk about 9-11, and uh we're gonna have I think some people are gonna I'm not gonna go full tilt on to them, but we're gonna talk about things like building and we're gonna talk about um some of the mysteries of 9-11 and uh maybe even uh talk about uh some of the um the shorts that were put on to uh you know the short sales and the uh the puts that were put on to uh airline stocks um by um affiliates of Deutsche
	Bank who had ties to intelligence.
	We could we'll talk a little bit about that uh today.
	But yeah, it's it's you know, since 2001, David, we've I think that I looked up the debt of the U.S. uh in 2001 on September 11th, it was around 5.5 trillion.
	And as we stand today, we're at 37 plus trillion dollars.
	Um these are metrics that you know, these are unsustainable things.
	And uh, you know, the debt to GDP ratio, and now um clearly the the answer here, I think is to invade Venezuela.
	We have to do that because if we can invade Venezuela, everything will everything will be fine.
	It's a national security issue, ladies and gentlemen.
	No, it's it's really ridiculous.
	They have enough oil, but they could set up their own petrodollar without Saudi Arabia if they went into Venezuela, they got more oil than Saudi Arabia.
	That that's that's the issue with with Venezuelas is not it's so ridiculous.
	The it's not the cartels, it's not any of that.
	It's uh it's it's the it's a grotesque version of the Monroe Doctrine in some way.
	Yeah, uh unfortunately.
	And that well, yeah, we're not we're not working on any of the things that would actually make this economy healthy, David.
	I mean, we got you seen some of these people, and I know you've played some of this, but some of these folks, these uh operators that are trying to figure out what to do about tariffs and how to get their products in and have them to shut down and they're firing people and all the rest that's happening because of the tariffs and uncertainty.
	Uh this is not a game that's gonna turn out well for the people of the United States, unfortunately.
	Um and the sad part about it is I agree with uh the concept of tariffs and uh up until now, probably.
	Yeah, it's it's the sort of thing where um actually there was a good article on uh Mises, and I'll I'll cover it later, where they said uh uh Trump is portraying tariffs as something that's gonna make us wealthy.
	But I said, however, if you look at this historically, the countries that have high tariffs are the poorest in the world.
	And the ones that had uh low tariffs are the richest in the world.
	And uh so it is not looking like it's gonna build prosperity.
	And of course, then it also begs a question, which they don't really address.
	And that is um, we've always been told uh by Democrats that uh we can tax and spend our way to prosperity.
	And that's basically what Trump, a Democrat is telling us now that we can tax and spend our way to prosperity.
	And yet that is not the case.
	Uh it is exactly the opposite.
	But before we get away from metals, uh silver you were talking about still has a ratio of about eighty or so to um to gold.
	And uh one of the interesting things I thought was the fact that as everybody got concerned about Trump putting on tariffs with gold, especially because of his war with uh Switzerland that he wanted to get into.
	Um this is the capricious uh and arbitrary nature of what Trump is doing if he doesn't like a country, he threatens them with tariffs.
	And this is one of the reasons why he should not have that power.
	Hopefully the courts are gonna take it away.
	He's already lost twice with that.
	But um uh people are saying, well, if he's gonna put a tariff on gold, uh they start started getting concerned about that.
	He came out and explicitly said there'll be no tariff on gold and a couple of other precious metals, but he left out silver.
	Uh, do you read anything into that?
	He didn't say they wouldn't tariff silver.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah.
	Uh and it may have to do somewhat with maybe indirectly with what uh we saw Russia do, adding silver as a strategic reserve asset and accumulating silver.
	Other governments, I believe, under the radar are also doing that, maybe even in the the BRICS periphery.
	Um I think that's what's driving the price.
	I think a I think a lot of the contracts and some of the other papered over silver markets are really getting strained right now.
	And I I just did the calculation while you were talking, I just wanted to make sure, but it's eighty-eight, it's eighty-eight ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold.
	And what's interesting about as we've seen gold continue its march towards another all-time high, and we just hit another all-time high a a few days ago.
	You wondered if gold uh if silver was gonna keep up with gold.
	I mean, if you go back to the uh first quarter of the uh plandemic after we had this massive stock market rally and then had the lowest uh, you know, we had the the lowest day on Wall Street, um biggest crash since since 29.
	I remember the gold silver ratio at one time, David was 125 to 1.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	So it that's because uh silver really crashed.
	I mean, it went down to I mean, on the spot levels, it was under $15.
	I think it was like around $13 an ounce at one time.
	Now you couldn't buy it anywhere for that.
	No one's gonna m sell it at 13, but it it was it had crashed that hard.
	Wow.
	And uh we've slowly seen it build back.
	But I think this is starting to break away and go back.
	So historically it's been, you know, even as low as 10 to 1, but that's it's generally 20 to 1 to 40 to 1, somewhere in there.
	Mm-hmm.
	And we lost that balance post-1933.
	I think those things are gonna start resetting, especially as governments like um the government of Russia gets in on the silver game.
	Interesting enough, uh, the the Swiss were the last people to the last country to officially go into a fiat currency post-1971.
	That they went into uh total fiat at night in 2002, and at that time they abandon they had a silver standard for their currency.
	That may also be an underlying issue with uh with the Swiss and silver.
	Silver's still a monetary metal.
	It's just gold gets all the the big headlines, it's easier to move.
	Yeah, you know, that it's uh I I think at the end of the day it's always known as money, but silver does it's just right there underneath it as a monetary metal, not just an industrial metal.
	And it probably will will re reclaim that.
	As a matter of fact, the the word um rupee for the Indian currency is from the from the root word rupiah, which means silver.
	Interesting.
	So as you're pointing out, the the ratio between gold and silver, gold is up like what, 34 or 37% or something this year.
	So has silver gone up that much?
	Yes, same.
	Yeah.
	It's followed it.
	That's because that's what I was saying.
	The the interesting thing is the gold-silver ratio uh as we've been discussing, um, at one time it silver was uh thirty-five dollars an ounce and uh gold was thirty five hundred, so it's a hundred to one, and that's been in the last 90 to 120 days, but we're starting to slowly see everything starting to repurpose and reset itself back to that uh you know uh 80 something to to one ratio, even if as gold climbs.
	Interesting.
	Well, it's uh, you know, when we look at this going forward, uh the war that Trump's got going with the Federal Reserve is another issue there.
	It looks like he's going to get his way, even though uh the court has blocked him being able to fire Lisa Cook as governor.
	I think what she did was uh was wrong, it was criminal.
	But the other aspects of this that I thought were kind of alarming was how Poulty went through and uh did a Stalin-esque investigation of her with artificial intelligence.
	It's very much like bring me the man, I'll find the crime.
	And so, you know, he's he's bragging about the fact that he's got artificial intelligence that can go back and sort through somebody's economic history and find anything, any technicality that they can hit them on.
	And she did violate the law.
	She did uh lie on her on her mortgage applications, but uh the way that they caught her is very concerning, and because they will use it against other people, I think, but it's also uh the fact that it is a whether or not he is able to get her out,
	uh he is deliberately trying to intimidate people to following his uh desired economic uh direction, lowering interest rates, which is going to help um gold, it's going to hurt us with inflation, but it's going to uh help the price of gold significantly.
	Do you think they're gonna do a um most of the people are saying 25 basis points, about a quarter of a point, uh that they're going to lower rates.
	Uh some people are saying half a point.
	But the bottom line is that Trump is going to get his way.
	Uh Gerald Slinty said Trump is great for gold.
	He was last time because he pushes inflation and uh easy money policies.
	It looks like he's going to get his way with that as well.
	What do you think?
	I think he's going to get his way.
	I would lean towards uh 25 basis points at least.
	I don't I don't think there's going to be a 50 basis points cut right off the bat.
	But I do think it'll be followed by several other cuts.
	I mean, and I think they'll go all the way into the midterms uh into next year.
	That'll be the the trend, and um you'll start to see some of the same language float around again.
	And you know, the the wall street will be back, it'll it'll look like everything's great for a while, and then you get into every time we do this, every time we create these bubbles, um we're just setting ourselves up for the for the bigger downturn.
	And uh as you've noticed throughout the years, there's not much room to run anymore.
	I mean, we've been able to bail ourselves out by currency creation and lower interest rates, but if you keep lowering, if you get them back down to the COVID-1984 levels, where do you go from there?
	And I think that's probably where we're headed, is uh just massive uh currency printing, money printing, uh expansion of the dollar, the M2 supply, I think we'll do that.
	Inflation will continue to be uh a major issue, eating away at the savings of the American people and and hurting the world.
	I think this is without sound money policies, we're just gonna be continuing to debase and devalue our own financial system.
	And that's why things like gold are important, silver is important, and anything that cannot be reprinted, um, which is that's a very only a few things.
	That's commodities, basically, at the end of the day.
	It's things that are rare and things that take work to get out of the earth or to manufacturers.
	So I I think we're the same policy, same things over and over again.
	Cheap money's on the horizon, which means expensive gold.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	What we're looking at, the fundamentals that you and I pointed out with this, uh this isn't about trends that we're looking at in terms of you know, past history of uh different things, as much as it is.
	We see the instability geopolitically, financially, all these other things.
	And then this time there's something brand new on the horizon, and that is the desire of these people to have a CBDC, which now they are using the Trojan horse of the Genius Act To try to set up these stable coins, which will still give them complete uh uh ability to track and to prevent transactions from happening financially.
	And uh you've got a senator, Keith Kelly of Alabama is warning people that the Genius Act is going to harm small banks.
	I say it'd be more than a harm, it's going to destroy them.
	Uh Eric Trump has said, um, and he made this pronouncement at uh I think maybe they were in Dubai or something, and um he was talking about how uh banks were going to go away within 10 years, and it was all going to be stable coins because that's what the Trump family is angling for with Lutnik uh and Tether and things like that.
	And uh well, what happens when we lose the small banks, Tony?
	Seems to me like we lose cash.
	We will lose cash.
	Yeah.
	Uh on a long enough timeline.
	I think you do lose cash.
	That is a big danger.
	Um we're not there yet.
	I don't think you know, we've I think the success of pushing pushing back against a central bank digital currency in the short term has been successful because they no longer have the same plans that they had, you know, five years ago for a central bank digital currency.
	But you're right, it's morphed.
	And uh what did Zigdu Brzezinski say?
	They regroup in run around sovereignty, they're doing an in run around um the pushback on CBDC.
	They regrouped and they rebranded it.
	Stable coin issue.
	Yeah, they regrouped and they rebranded it and called it uh the Genius Act.
	And then also, David, I think there's a there's something to the stable coins and what happens to the dollar, like the the next iteration of the dollar.
	I think that's important with the with the stable coins because we all of us have watched things like the petrol dollar die in the last year.
	Um that's been that was a bizarre turn of events that you know we didn't even try to save.
	We didn't try to save the the petrol dollar, that 50-year agreement that we had with the Saudis.
	It just lapped in in the summer of 2024.
	And with that without anything, and I thought, well, that's very strange.
	Yeah.
	Well, if you look at what they're trying to do with these off-ramps, on-ramps for uh stable coins, it makes it really easy to trade internationally with the dollar stable coins.
	It's another, it's like a rebirth of the dollar, a reimagining of the dollar itself.
	At least that's what I'm seeing kind of on the horizon for the future of the dollar and the monetary system.
	Yeah, I think uh they basically, you know, Lutnik can uh be the big customer of the Federal Reserve bonds and notes, and uh then they can through the stable coin thing, they can go to retail instead of trying to sell it to central banks who don't want to play that game anymore.
	Uh they can offer the uh stable coin to individuals in other countries.
	And um, I think that's the direction that they're gonna go.
	They're gonna try to prop up the dollar with the stable coin.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I think that's uh the danger there is the dollar becomes stable coins or its purpose that way is that we become a digitized system on the blockchain.
	And that's where you get into the the dangers of the surveillance state and uh you know this the surveillance disguised as money, as Catherine Austin Fitz would say.
	I think a lot of people are sensing the threats that are out there to the dollar now.
	I mean, when you look at it, it seems like gold rose about 50% across all of Trump's previous four years.
	And right now, in the eight months since he's taken office, it's risen almost 40% already.
	So people are looking at this and saying something's wrong with the dollar.
	And anytime the dollar is unstable, any time it's weak, gold goes through the roof.
	And with the fact that we've already almost hit what he accomplished in his previous four years, shows that there is a lot of stuff happening with gold.
	He loves gold.
	He wants everything made out of gold.
	Maybe that's why.
	One day he's gonna unveil the White House and it's just gonna be gold plated.
	We'll find he's the biggest customer, not the central banks of in China or whatever.
	So the White House is nice, but now it's gold.
	It's better gold.
	Actually, he's getting into crypto.
	That's where his family is becoming uh getting all their money into crypto.
	But you know, this headline from the UK uh on expose, UK government's Digital wallet plus a digital ID is the digital prison.
	And I think that's the bottom line.
	To me, you know, we've we've had situations in the past, and people, you know, if you look at gold as an investment, uh, you know, you can look at past history and trends and things like that and try to buy it as a commodity, or people look at it as a hedge against the collapse of the dollar.
	But I see it as a hedge against the collapse of civilization and privacy and all the rest of this stuff because I know how they're going to use this genius act stable coin.
	They're going to use it exactly like a CBDC.
	It's got all the worst features of a CBDC, but they've rebranded it to make you think that it's fine.
	And they've rebranded it so that they make the money, not the Federal Reserve.
	You know, it's going to be the Trump family and Lutnik is going to make the money off of this kind of stuff.
	It's not going to be uh Powell and Company, I guess.
	Well, you're right.
	And uh is it possible that the Federal Reserve itself, or at least that the creature from Jekyll Island is on the chopping block in this fourth turning?
	Is it one of the institutions that gets repurposed and is there some creative destruction that's going on right now?
	And of course it's a game that you know, it's a big club and you ain't in it.
	It's not like we benefit at any any level, but is there some warring faction of the banking houses or establishment or dynastic families that decided to do something different and change the system itself as it no longer suits them?
	I mean, somebody's going to have to pay the bill.
	Yeah.
	Think about the damage that's been done by the Federal Reserve Bank.
	Think about what the central bank has done to the United States to our to our monetary system.
	That we used to have a system as good as gold, and uh we used to be the world's greatest creditor.
	There's a the majority of the blame lies at the feet of the one institution that was supposed to regulate and control and and uh keep boom and bus cycles from happening.
	They let all that stuff happen on their watch.
	As a matter of fact, it's lost 99% of its purchasing power.
	Yeah.
	Uh since they assumed the helm of the in charge of the monetary policy.
	So I I I think that maybe that's just a way of of getting rid of it.
	Always need a crisis to precipitate the changes that they want.
	That's right.
	And then what do we replace it with?
	Do we replace the Federal Reserve as bad as it is with one individual who's just going to uh dictate everything?
	You know, that's that's the key thing.
	We're going to have, you know, we've got a fiat currency, so I guess we should have a fiat dictator who's going to have uh sing singular uh individual who's going to decide uh uh how everything, the monetary policy, how much uh is going to be there and interest rates and all the rest of these things that Federal Reserve has been manipulating, uh, would have central planning done by somebody who doesn't seem to plan anything economically.
	He just reacts as we've seen with the tariff stuff.
	I definitely think this is a a blip uh, you know, obviously the the Trump administration, this is already um, you know, he can't run again.
	I don't think there'll be a continuity of these same types of policies.
	So this is probably an anomaly somewhere, but it does fit into the larger plan, as you mentioned, uh, you know, with with uh with Bess and the Treasury Secretary that ties to stable coins in the past.
	I think this is gonna be something that stable coins, crypto, a lot of what's gonna be put on the table in the next three years and will be implemented and put into the infrastructure.
	Um it's sad because we don't need, you know, at the end of the day, if if people had a free market for money, uh, you know, you mentioned the the small banks will be hurt by the stable coins.
	That's the exact entities we would need to step up and help us uh with the free market and have some real competition and I think create a better a better way.
	Um decentralized currency is the answer to a centralized system that it's imploding.
	And that's unfortunate that people can't see it.
	Everything's gonna become more centralized, you know, instead of the Federal Reserve, you have one individual or a couple of people in his uh administration who can be making all the monetary policy, and then instead of a lot of smaller local banks and some of the competition that comes with that, you're gonna have the two big to fail guys and two big to jail guys.
	They'll be the only ones that you'll be able to get loans from.
	What's that going to be like?
	And then of course, there's not going to be uh there's not going to be the ability to, if you're a small business, assuming that there's any small businesses left, you're not gonna be able to take the cash that you uh had at your business and take it down to the local bank to have it deposited.
	You know, that's uh that's gonna be a thing of the past as well.
	So it's it's it's uh all of it is about complete centralization and complete control.
	And it's going to be uh the usual suspects, the giant banks and the government that are going to exercise complete control over everything.
	That's why I say we need to have something that we can have as a basis for setting up a parallel economic system that's going to be out of their system.
	And that's where gold and silver I think comes in as a very important thing.
	I agree.
	I think and I think we're just at the beginning of uh the implementation of a lot of those policies for the people to get their hands on precious metals and start transacting them in them.
	I think that they were just at the at the beginning, a lot of states have made it legal tender.
	Uh Texas recently just did that at their they have some you know three-year plan or something to implement where they're gonna you'll be able to store gold and silver in a in the Texas depository and then you know have a card against it and all that.
	That's fine.
	Um but it's also the the move there, I think, by the state itself to make gold and silver legal legal tender as well as other states that are working on it.
	Um that's the future.
	Um the states and local governments are are doing a I think a a good job at uh preparing for uh a future where the dollars uh a lot less uh stable.
	I got a question for you, Tony from uh Wes Robertson four four eight uh asks, will silver hit 150 to 200 an ounce in the next two to three years.
	I think two to three years is probably let's hope not, because if it's hitting that if it's doing those kind of numbers, we got some real problems.
	Yeah.
	Uh I th I think that uh I think that we're really poised in this last quarter of of twenty twenty five here to see silver break it's finally break its forty-five year all-time high.
	I think that is a very good mathematical chance that we'll see uh silver do something like go to sixty dollars an ounce.
	Um that's real possible.
	And then, you know, going into uh 2026 and beyond, um, you know, there's it's har it's tough to say.
	I think hundred dollar an ounce silver is definitely doable in this decade.
	Um and that just kind of depends on what happens geopolitically.
	If we're in if you know there's a lot of ifs there.
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of ifs.
	Yeah, as you said, we'd be into the dollar.
	Really bad straits if it gets that high.
	Um, there was something on KitCo, and it was a quote from uh a company that is focused on silver.
	Silver stock investors.
	And he said he thought uh that it could go to a hundred dollars an ounce this cycle.
	So that's a real bullish projection, and he even he's going to a hundred dollars and not two hundred or three hundred.
	I try to be as conservative as possible because a lot of people can misconstrue what I say is investment advice, but also I found these silver bugs that are always going around the internet that have all these views that tell people that silver is gonna be, you know, a thousand dollars an ounce and stuff.
	I never I don't know what they're basing that off of.
	And I think that people get excited and they run off and they buy whatever products, you know, that they think they're gonna see this massive returns.
	But I do think that we're still in an era of cheap silver.
	And I bring that up because of the gold-silver ratio, and I think that the ratio is still skewed, even though uh silver is at forty almost forty-two dollars an ounce uh spot.
	So I still think we've got a long way to go where you can still accumulate I mean, obviously silver is is gonna do well all throughout the decade.
	So you're just kind of getting this you're not late to the party at 42 dollar an ounce silver, not even close.
	Um, yeah, well, we're talking about if it goes to two or three hundred dollars an ounce, uh again, that's things are really bad economically.
	Because the um, you know, again, you know, we're we're at least I look at this stuff when I look at gold and silver.
	I'm interested in it uh just as a store of value, uh, not as playing a commodity market.
	You know, there's a lot of other commodities that you can play as well, I guess.
	You could go invest in tomatoes with uh Trump's erratic clerk policies.
	You know, you could probably uh get involved in tomato futures and uh either get burned or become really rich.
	But I look at it as a preservation uh tactic and not just a preservation uh purchasing power but as a preservation of privacy and of freedom because this other thing that's out there besides the interplay between these fiat currencies and the traditional money of gold and silver this is whole other thing out there of uh the uh stable coins or the C B D Cs or whatever they want to label them they're the same thing and uh that's what really has me concerned.
	Well do you have any more questions here that you see um Lance uh for Tony I don't see any there.
	Let me ask you what's going on with um Wise Wolf.
	Well, we got the new old bank location.
	I took a branch bank, an old Bank of America, and repurposed it here in Denison, Texas.
	I'm getting my signs up in the next week or so.
	We got a banner up right now.
	We've been busy.
	I love it.
	It's still got the drive-thru.
	It still says ATM on there.
	It's fun.
	That's cool.
	I'm putting a new studio in there for podcasts.
	We rebranded it, David.
	We did, just for this location, we did Wise Wolf Gold Silver Bitcoin.
	I changed the logo up a bit, so I'm the only drive-thru gold, silver, Bitcoin place in the world.
	I'm going to say in the world.
	I don't know that there's anybody competing with me in...
	in that realm yet um but we're we're really excited about that I've uh put in some work there and I don't think I'll be doing any more physical locations.
	I have my two I think you might have an opportunity if all these local banks start going out of business with stable coins yeah I'll be the bank of choice uh yeah yeah we we've definitely put in a lot of infrastructure into the the two physical locations in the last year.
	Uh I wanted to make sure that you know the marketing was sound and people could physically bring us product.
	So if you just I mean this is what we do every week but the the intel that I'm seeing um is that a lot of people are selling a lot of people are selling product and we're happy to be there for them um but that ratio of buyers to sellers you know it's just so skewed right now and you wonder you see these prices that are rising somebody's buying and it's just not the air the everyday people are doing stuff like Wolfpack they're you know they're budgeting out which is great.
	Um and we we need every single Wolfpack membership to offset that because we're buying uh product like I bought like six hundred ounces of silver yesterday and I got nowhere to put it if you're interested in getting some great deals on silver you should give me a call because I got like you know two ounce, three ounce, five ounce uh uh rounds and bars from the Australian mint.
	I'm just buying buying crazy amounts.
	It's like over twenty two thousand dollars I think we we bought between the two locations probably like you know a thousand ounces yesterday.
	We're buying ounces a hand over fist and then we're gonna one seller or was that just a lot of people that were selling uh silver uh it's it's that was one the six hundred ounces was one shot um but we just we are getting a lot of people selling of course the gold urban gold mining is up but that's a good th that's a good thing.
	I'd I'd love to buy as much scrap gold as I can buy uh you know the watches and chains and rings I love that I mean that helps that's uh that keeps the lights on.
	And teeth.
	Uh and that that's really gone it's really been busy because of the price of gold.
	But uh yeah now's a good time to get into this I know it's people are skittish but I would say it's a it's a really good time I think to especially get into silver and we got a lot of great deals on that right now.
	Well if it's being driven by instability I don't see any stability on the horizon.
	No.
	That's that's the key thing.
	Well it's always great talking to you Tony and your program is going to be immediately following this one on X and uh tell us where else they can find it.
	Yeah on uh Rumble uh at on the America Unplugged channel and on X uh at Tony Arterburn you'll you'll find me uh live there.
	I have a YouTube channel.
	Uh you might want to check it out before it it it goes away but it's at Tony Artiburn you can find me on YouTube there.
	Uh and then I'll be I'll be going to speak to the Rotary Club.
	So if you're in Denison go by because I'm gonna I'm gonna be kind but we're gonna talk about um some of the mysteries of 911.
	People that leave there will not look at 911 again this thing.
	Well they shouldn't uh you know just I would just encourage them to get on YouTube and search for building demolitions and they might get an idea of what a real building demolition looks like.
	Yeah it's uh yeah you can see fail but they could also take a look at all the uh different skyscraper fires, many of them that went for several days with steel skyscrapers and they never fell.
	They might be twisted metal, but uh they never fell.
	Well, thank you for getting the truth out there, Tony, and thank you for what you do.
	It's been great to have uh a good source for gold and silver, and I know that people love the ability to be able to gradually accumulate and save gold and silver on a regular basis, and that's what Wise Wolf has really been.
	So uh thank you so much for what you do.
	Again, people can find Tony, they go to David Knight.gold, they'll take you to Wise Wolf as well.
	Uh thank you, Tony.
	We'll talk to you later.
	Sir.
	See you soon.
	So Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Elvis.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles and the sweet sounds of Motown.
	Find them on the oldies channel at APSradio.com.
	All right, welcome back.
	And before we get into your comments and questions, I just want to say this real quickly because we were talking about this uh with Tony.
	I said it was uh Mises, it's reason saying Trump says tariffs make us richer.
	So why the countries with high tariff support?
	Well, that's a really simple answer, isn't it?
	Because tariffs are taxes.
	They don't make us wealthier.
	That's the most amazing thing to me is that you've got these conservatives cheering Trump on new taxes.
	Because it's Trump.
	Uh and it doesn't help us to be dumping money into the Federal Treasury.
	Even if the money weren't coming from us, I wouldn't want the government being richer and more powerful.
	Uh but uh their tax, and they restrict trade, they restrict efficiency, and it's a means of control and central planning.
	Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose high tariffs without congressional authorization.
	He complained that if the import taxes go away, the US will become a third world nation.
	Reason says third world status might be America's future.
	But it's more likely to result from tariffs rather than from their absence.
	And uh so as he's got these courtroom uh fights that are going on, and so far he's zero and two on these things.
	Uh his response was uh when uh this happened, he said more than fifteen trillion dollars will be invested in the USA.
	A record all uppercase.
	Much of this investment is because of tariffs.
	If the radical left court is allowed to terminate these tariffs, almost all of this investment and much more will be immediately canceled.
	In many ways, we would become a third world nation with no hope of greatness.
	All uppercase again.
	Well, please define for us what greatness is.
	Because high tariff countries are poor, as reason says.
	If tariffs are linked to prosperity, it is an inverse relationship.
	In other words, as one goes up, the other goes down.
	As tariffs go up, prosperity goes down.
	That has been the record everywhere, except, of course, uh, you know, Trump can suspend reality, at least in the mind of MAGA.
	According to a recent report on America's declining economic freedom from Canada's Fraser Institute, you guys remember the Fraser Institute.
	Indeed.
	It's really proud of the boys.
	We brag on them a couple of we've had uh uh when they were in high school, uh both uh Travis and Lance competed in uh a contest at the Fraser Institute, which is kind of a libertarian free market economic um uh uh uh think tank that's up in Canada.
	They had a competition for high school students that was Canada and uh and the U.S. And uh they came in, both of them won first prizes in different years.
	One year they got first and second prize, so I was really there were cash prizes too, so I was really happy uh for them.
	Anyway, Fraser Institute's Matthew Mitchell said, quote, high tariff countries are generally low income countries, while low tariff countries are generally high income countries.
	And the high tariff countries, average GDP per capita is just ninety, seven hundred dollars per year, while in low tariff countries it is forty-three thousand five hundred per year.
	In other words, it's kind of a I think a general attitude of the government towards the free market is reflected in this.
	Uh high tariff countries are going to be countries that have a lot of central planning, a lot of government control, a lot of high taxes.
	In 2023, the U.S. had an average tariff rate of 3.3%, which put us in the company of such countries as Singapore and Hong Kong, that neither of them had any uh tariff, they were zero tariff.
	Uh Israel was at 1.3%, New Zealand 1.9%, Australia 2.4%, and Iceland 3.3%, and we were at 3.3%.
	This year's tariff shift has been marked by wild fluctuations.
	But the average tariff rate on April 15th was 28%, and now it is around 19%.
	And of course, that in and of itself is a big problem, this fluctuation.
	But that puts the U.S. among the likes of Zimbabwe, 18%, Chad 18%, the Republic of Congo, 18%, Algeria, 18.9%, and Egypt at 19%.
	One glorious company we're keeping.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And so at 28%, average UF tariffs are higher than those in Djibouti, uh, which is 21%.
	I wonder if they got a sheik in Djibouti.
	That'd be a sheik djibouti.
	Uh anyway, uh Sudan, 21.6%, and exceeded only by the Bahamas, which has 32 and a half percent.
	Uh and I guess, you know, if if high tariffs create manufacturing jobs, I guess the Bahamas is a is a real manufacturing powerhouse.
	Uh the US used to manufacturing hubs like Zimbabwe and uh and the Bahamas, yeah.
	What their manufacturing in Zimbabwe is Marxist government.
	Yeah, well, the Bahamas produces all those shirts, you know, so the US used to have sort of tariff rates that correlate with prosperity.
	But the Trump administration is now emulating the trade policies of what he has termed in the past as shithole countries.
	Well, certainly the advice that he's getting from Navarro is pure excrement.
	So uh I guess that fits anyway.
	As of 2022, the U.S. stood at 53rd out of 165 countries for the freedom to trade, and Fraser's economic freedom of the world index, having fallen from eighth place in nineteen ninety-five.
	It was because of non-tariff barriers of the sort that Trump complains are imposed on Americans by the government, but which the U.S. has adopted to its own detriment in recent decades.
	U.S. trade freedom peaked in nineteen eighty at nine point three on the ten point scale.
	It began to slide for the next two decades and then declined more precipitously in the last decade and a half.
	Much of this decline was driven by controls on the movement of capital and people.
	In particular, the U.S. imposed steeper capital controls in 2009 and more stringent limits on the freedom of foreigners to visit in 2014.
	Despite relatively low tariffs between before 2025, the U.S. wasn't as wide open as many people, Trump included, believe.
	With the exception of China, every country that Trump has singled out for treating America unfairly is more open to trade than the U.S. itself.
	Free trade doesn't just correlate with current prosperity, as seen from a list of which countries have high tariff rates and which ones have low ones.
	It helps countries to become wealthier.
	Few propositions command as much consensus among professional economists as that open world trade increases economic growth and raises living standards.
	I'll give you an example of this.
	Now that was from a Harvard economist, but many people understand that.
	Anything that stands in the way of trade, whether it is high tariffs, controls on the movement of people and capital, or other barriers to investment in exchange, all of that deprives people of the freedom they need to start businesses, create jobs, and improve their lives.
	High U.S. tariffs have a further perverse effort effect, rather, in that they tax Americans, effectively filling the government coffers by punishing our own people for seeking the goods that they want beyond the border.
	Eroding trade freedom reduces total economic freedom, of course.
	And the U.S. risked third world status as the president warns that dangers lie in adopting the illiberal illiberal trade policies of countries that remain poor, largely through their rulers' bad decisions.
	And just remember when we look at all this that Trump bankrupted half a dozen casinos.
	He's not a genius businessman.
	He was born on third base.
	He was born as a millionaire, and then he bankrupted half a dozen casinos.
	just let that sink in.
	You know, he didn't care at all about profit.
	That was one of the things that Wilbur Ross, when he was working for the Ross Child, he He saw that Donald Trump had this big entourage of people that were following him around and that he's getting a lot of media attention, and he got on the phone to the Rothschilds and said, we can use this guy.
	And they did.
	But one of the things that they found was that he didn't really care about having centrally financial control of these bankrupt casinos.
	He just wanted to make sure that he kept his name on them.
	It's all about him.
	It's all about narcissism.
	That was he didn't care about the bankruptcy.
	He didn't even care about making money off of them.
	It was just the narcissism.
	The White House says that Trump's tariffs have raised eight trillion dollars in revenue.
	That's not even close, says Reason.
	So yeah, he's going to make government richer again.
	That's what he's really going to do if that were true.
	But they're inflating those numbers.
	They're not true at all.
	The White House's claim is based on a misinterpretation of data that the actual revenue generated by tariffs is slightly lower than the White House's claim.
	As a matter of fact, most of these tariffs have not yet kicked in.
	And so this eight trillion dollars is coming from who?
	It's coming from Mr. and Mrs. America and the products that they buy being more expensive.
	So the I'll just leave with this last thing here.
	You know, we're talking about how free trade can help prosperity.
	Here's an example coming from the New York Times.
	Guitar nerds and surf bros didn't want to get political.
	But then came the tariffs.
	And what is happening with this, they said one guy had a went on a program and talked, made a video.
	He said he'd promised himself that he would never get political on his channel.
	He just wanted to talk about making guitars.
	And uh but he said the Trump tariffs will kill the guitar industry.
	Every American-made instrument, he pointed out, uh, they all rely heavily on foreign materials, on woods that can come from other places, whose cost stood to skyrocket.
	Big manufacturers could be forced into unsustainable price hikes.
	Well loved boutique businesses that operate on small margins could be wiped out, especially because of the capricious and ever changing rates that are there.
	he wasn't alone in his opinion.
	Bob Chapman, the British founder of Chapman Guitars and longtime YouTube mainstay, agreed that the tariffs would make many guitar businesses untenable.
	And so did many others in the guitar niche, often with shul-like disclaimers attached.
	They weren't trying to get political, they said, but their whole job was to discuss the sprawling global industry that produces music equipment.
	And terrorists were unavoidably relevant.
	This is like uh one of the businesses I talked about the other day where they had to uh get some components from abroad that they couldn't get here.
	He was making vintage computers of the 70s and 80s, and those parts were not available in the United States.
	So he was going to be put out of business by Trump's tariffs.
	Here, it's just basic guitars and also surfboards where they can't get the uh materials um uh here domestically, they have to get them from abroad, and Trump is going to make that impossible.
	That is the boneheaded inflexibility uh that is being done by Trump and the sack of bricks, Peter Navarro.
	Um but let's let's look at some of the comments that we had that have been here for a while.
	Yeah, well I had a comment about what you're just saying.
	It's funny how these big government authoritarians always think that there's some thing that the government can do that will just create wealth, essentially.
	It's uh, you know, the uh modern monetary theorists think you can just print it and now you'll be wealthy.
	And uh Trump says, oh, we'll just add these tariffs, and then all this money from all these other countries are gonna be here, and then we'll be wealthy.
	It's uh if only these other governments had thought to do this one simple trick, then all poverty would be gone.
	And I think it has to do not so much with ignorance uh as it has to do with the fact that he knows that he can make himself very rich by getting into crypto, and he has nothing but disdain.
	He's he's exactly like Hillary Clinton, who during her attempted takeover of health care at the very beginning of Bill's uh uh presidential term.
	She said, I can't be bothered with undercapitalized businesses.
	I don't really care what this is going to do to small businesses.
	We have seen this over and over and over again with Donald Trump.
	And yet, who are the people that support him?
	Main Street America, the people who are going to lose their businesses lose their jobs.
	It is the delusion that comes with Trump is just unbelievable.
	It is a strong delusion, isn't it?
	Yes.
	I want to say thank you to Cole 360, subscribed on KIG.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	SoloCAD 1980, the FBI investigating and other news the foxes still haven't found who broke into the hen house.
	I'm sure they'll find it right around the same time OJ finds the real killers.
	M sellers, if I was a professional sniper, I would totally forget my gun.
	Well, part of that is he may have just the shooter may have just ditched it to not be carrying it.
	You know, if you're trying to just make a getaway, not carrying around the weapon keeps you from being spotted very easily.
	Rifles are they're hard to conceal.
	Yeah.
	Also, you know, if you've wiped it down, uh you're no longer going to have to worry about concealing the murder weapon.
	Yeah.
	Uh it was apparently a Mauser 306, by the way.
	M sellers, yes, how appropriate for today, shooter's passport found.
	It survived a tumble and a large fire.
	It floated right down over the dais or the stage.
	Yeah, it fell off the roof and landed directly where everyone can see it.
	Guard Goldsmith, you know, hearing Trump praise Mr. Kirk for being involved in free speech and debate really rang hollow, considering Trump's attacks on students on campuses who call for peace in Gaza.
	Yeah.
	Trump is no fan of free speech.
	Absolutely not.
	I watched his video.
	He referred to it several times as a quote, hatist attack.
	I never heard that term before because it's total nonsense.
	I mean, obviously, if you're shooting someone you uh aren't a big fan of them, it is a hatist attack.
	That's why, you know, I think his best defense for that Jeffrey Epstein uh birthday note is the fact that the word enigma was used.
	As I said, it was even spelled correctly.
	So that that could be his uh ace in the hole for saying that he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
	I can't even spell it again.
	Never use the word.
	That's good to see a guard.
	Again, guard Goldsmith, uh Liberty Conspiracy every evening on Twitter and other and rumble, yes.
	Three little birds.
	It's confirmed 30-6 rifle used has inscriptions of trans anger towards Kirk on the casings.
	Yeah, Wall Street Journal is supporting that now as well.
	Audi MRR says, um, Tucker, Building 7 isn't weird, quote unquote.
	It's criminal.
	Tucker Carlson's job is not is to not question is to not question but ask why questions can't be asked.
	Huh, why can't we talk about that?
	Yeah, because I'll lose my job, so I can't say anything about that.
	I'll I'll lie for uh 9-11 and I'll lie for the vaccine companies and all the rest of the stuff.
	Yeah, whatever you need.
	Multi-mass murder.
	It was so weird.
	Weird how they were all covering it up, including me.
	Nathan Bedford Forrest, 1865.
	The Israeli art students were all over the Twin Towers for months.
	Then there were the urban moving systems slash Israelis with explosive residue in their van.
	Massad was integral in that operation.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I'd be surprised if there are many operations that go down of this sort that Mossad is not integral in.
	We uh our government and Israeli's government are tied at the hip.
	And I think the influence flows from Israel towards us and not the other way around, personally.
	They seem to be the ones calling the shots.
	And you know, talking about the uh stuff weird events preceding 9-11, let's not forget that Marvin Bush was the uh head of the company that was doing security for the trade tower until shortly before the attacks.
	Yeah, shut down over the weekend.
	The one Bush that hasn't run for president.
	I still live in fear that they may eventually trot him out.
	Like, well, you know, Jeb didn't work, but George, he got in.
	Maybe you could try Marvin.
	Is Marvin like Marvin the Martian?
	Does he not have a nose in the mouth or something?
	Marvin found his kaboom.
	Yeah.
	Narrowway narrowgate ministries.
	Civil war will be horrific.
	These people who are calling for it to have no understanding of what they're asking for, wanting or realizing the total aspect of destruction and pain they will cause.
	Yeah, we've been largely insulated from any conflict on the United States mainland just due to our geographical location.
	Yes.
	We were separated from the two world wars by two oceans.
	And the technology of the time didn't really allow people to reach out and touch us the way they could now.
	We are no longer protected by distance.
	And so if there is a world war on the table, and if there's a civil war, it'll be even more brutal.
	Civil wars always are because the hate that it engenders is even worse.
	We have the real OctoSpook.
	Yes, 9-11 was an insane denial of physics, math, science, physical properties of the material, etc.
	If Morons are so easily fooled, when are we ever safe from lies and crimes right before our eyes?
	Well, that's why I say, you know, the um when you look at COVID, uh, you could pretty much say the same thing about the pandemic narrative, you know.
	It basically um was a denial of all science and reality as well, even their own science, so-called uh virology.
	Um I really hate is when I go to see some kind of a sci-fi or superhero movie, and uh they just make up a universe that has uh its own rules of how it operates.
	And it they need to, if you're gonna have a good movie, they need to stay within those rules that they've imagined.
	And it's a bad movie if they don't.
	That's why the pan COVID pandemic was such a bad movie, but everybody went with it.
	And of course, the two of those things were intricately tied together from the beginning.
	The first uh rehearsal of this plan that they operated and uh went with completely uh of uh was Dark Winter, where they practiced locking everybody down and coming up with a uh a vaccine that was going to be the key to getting out and all the rest of the stuff.
	That happened two months before 9-11, then one week after 9-11, we had the false flag attack of the anthrax attack, and I've talked to uh the people in 9-11 truth.
	They understand how that was connected there as well.
	And uh they have um reopened that investigation where even mainstream media like New York Times pointed out that it was a false flag, and we saw that they had fingered a suspect who uh worked at one of these labs, but it wasn't the lab that had that kind of anthrax or that kind of delivery capability, but they pointed to that guy and they implied that he was the one who did it, but they never charged him for a couple of decades.
	Then when he Died, they announced that he was the one that did it when he couldn't defend himself.
	But um two months after all of that happened, they put out all of the planned legislation that they wanted enacted at the state level so that they would have plausible deniability, so that all you would need is to have a president who's going to release the money, and the states have already practiced and set up the legal framework for what was done to us in 2020.
	So it was a long-term plan, and these things were uh in lockstep from the very beginning, and it was the other shooter-drop, and it was just as absurd, if not even uh well, I won't say more so, but equally absurd to all the stuff that happened with 9-11.
	Yeah.
	Nathan Bedford Forrest, 1865.
	The whole thing was a massad plan.
	Netanyahu mentioned a plane flying into the World Trade Center back in 1992.
	That's a bit ominous.
	Those are some nice towers you got there.
	The shade with a plane would have hit them.
	That'd be a real shame.
	Yonah Annie Wody, Audi, because of course, uh, when we talk about that, there had been a plane that hit the uh they were specifically built to withstand that.
	Yeah.
	So what what are the changes that they made in the building code, right?
	And uh let's also not forget that while he's talking about that in the 90s.
	Uh there were also the plans of uh Operation uh Northwoods and Gladio, where they were discussing false flags, including ones uh where they would fly planes into buildings.
	Yeah, so that was back in the 1960s.
	That was before even the Cuban Missile Crisis, I believe.
	Yeah, long before.
	Yeah, they wanted to use that.
	They wanted to create a false flag, you know, flying planes into buildings uh so that they would have an excuse to invade Cuba.
	We have Yonah Anniwode saying Audi because his brother Marvin Bush is running security.
	That is why.
	As Lance pointed out and is Yona pointing out, Marvin Bush was running security for the World Trade Centers, which makes you makes you think.
	Get your noggin jogging.
	Audi MRR, Trump is going to use this Kirk shooting as a ruse to get MAGA on board with more gun control via executive order.
	I hope they don't let him do that.
	They won't control the SSRIs, and they won't control the educational institutions that are manufacturing these uh insane trannees.
	And they're also manufacturing the radical leftists as well.
	But we're not going to change the institutions.
	These institutions are bankrupting us in terms of our property taxes, but they must be preserved because that is their tool of change.
	I really hope he isn't able to get them on board.
	As we've said, we didn't agree with Charlie Kirk on a lot of things.
	But he seemed to be very staunch about his second amendment support and that he would never yield on it, as far as I could tell.
	I haven't seen any clips to the contrary.
	So I hope that people don't cave and give in to that sort of rhetoric.
	Especially with all the uh push to use trannyism as a lever for gun control.
	It's again, it's not gonna stop anything there if a tranny wants to commit murder having a little bit harder access to a gun isn't going to prevent that.
	Obviously, you know, this person set everything up, planned an assassination uh escape route.
	Does anyone think that a gun law would have stopped this?
	Well, to paraphrase what they've always said, you know, if guns are outlawed, uh then only trainees will have guns.
	That's the true nightmare.
	The darkest timeline.
	But yeah, it's uh continuing to push the main thing that's causing the problem, and then using the problem to push something that won't fix it.
	And of course, Trump would love to virtue signal.
	I mean, they've already i these initi the initial talk about uh taking guns away from trainees was coming from the Department of Justice, which is you know, he was the one who set that precedent with bump stocks, and he also did pistol brace bands, but then he walked that back, and then his successor, Biden immediately brought back the pistol brace ban.
	So they're gonna do that, and you'll have the uh the right is already cheering him on it.
	They don't understand the principles involved.
	Yeah, it said this before, I'm not sure if it was on air, but uh it's like the mask mandate.
	It's a contrived solution that's not going to address any problems.
	I mean, this shooting obviously is a real problem, but uh it's just creating a new problem based off of it.
	That's right.
	Everything they do, drug war included.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Hi Boost says, Did anyone look at the ammo prices today?
	Did they skyrocket?
	I did not.
	I'll have to do that.
	Maybe I can get you an answer by the end of the show.
	Maybe we'll be able to compare it.
	DGA, the unfortunate Kirk incident will be used for gun control and expansion of the police and surveillance state.
	Never let a good crisis go to waste.
	Now I can definitely see the police state expanding and surveillance state expanding because of this.
	Well, you see, we need to be able to monitor social media posts.
	They're gonna probably find a bunch of different social media posts from whoever they end up saying did this.
	If they catch the real guy, I'm sure that they'll find some and say, if we had just been able to tag and trace everyone, we would have been able to stop this because that's the way they operate.
	It's again sometimes they manufacture the crisis, sometimes things happen organically, but they know how to utilize it for their own agenda, no matter what.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Massai couldn't do uh couldn't do everything that happened on 9-11 without the help of the CIA and military.
	I agree with that.
	It's uh it's a cabal of people.
	Lots of different factions are involved.
	There's a lot of wicked people across the globe.
	Yeah, if we're running down the uh list of 9-11 anomalies, uh another one to bring up is the uh wait how all the air defenses stood down and let the uh planes get right there.
	So obviously it's not just Mossad.
	Uh yeah.
	Yeah, that was Gore Vidal who talked about that.
	Uh a very hardcore leftist, he said, Wait, I had his uncle or something, had designed NORAD, he goes, something's up with that.
	That would have never happened.
	Uh somebody made that stand down.
	Yeah, he also says that uh the object that happened to hit the pinnacle pentagram, destroyed all audit records of the pentagram fraud.
	Yeah, trillions of dollars.
	And that was just announced by Rumsville like a day or two earlier than that.
	What is Israel's motive for doing that?
	You're exactly right.
	We need to look at Kuibono, right?
	Now, Israel had the motive, and these people are cheering because it's like, all right, good, this is going to get uh we're you know, they're going to identify the uh Muslims as the propagators of this, and that can be used to get them to attack our enemies.
	But yeah, the um the Pentagon fraud and that suspicious um uh attack at the Pentagon, which reeked of nonsense, absolutely.
	We have don't frag me, bro, the object that happened.
	I read that one.
	Yeah.
	Skunk Holly Rose Garden's friends with cattle is worth gold too.
	That's right.
	You need to be able to feed yourself.
	I we talk about gold and silver because it's a general rule.
	I tend to feel that most people understand that they need food and water, and they may not know where to get gold and silver even if they want it.
	Gold and silver is you know a bit of a rarer commodity, but you need to be able to feed yourself, you need to be able to get water.
	If you don't have those things, no amount of gold or silver is going to do you any good at all.
	You'll simply be a well-dressed skeleton that someone gets.
	Do we have Jack Lawson coming on tomorrow?
	I think uh I don't know about that.
	I think we do, yeah.
	Talk we need to get them on pretty soon to talk about uh talk about civil defense manual.
	Civil defense manual volumes one and two, and go to Jacklaus and Books.com and get that.
	You can learn how to protect yourself and your community, how to find food, how to forage for that sort of thing, find water.
	It's a great resource because you do need to be able to get food and water.
	If you don't have that, as I said, nothing else matters.
	You won't make it long enough to be able to utilize the other things.
	And you don't want to be put in a situation where you are stealing and looting from other people.
	You don't want to have to make that decision.
	You just want to avoid it.
	You don't want to be that kind of person.
	It is uh it you don't want to give in to wickedness.
	We have Audi MRR, the petrodollar's failure is part of the agenda.
	It's a big agenda, and you're not part of it.
	The real Octo spook, governor billionaires will always be able to push a button, have whatever amount of money they choose and won't be bothered with printing fiat money.
	Yeah, it's uh they're able to basically do whatever they want with money.
	They have a basically unlimited supply of it.
	Defy Tyrant 1776, if gold is worth thirty five hundred dollars an ounce and the dollars crashes and is worth zero, what will gold be worth?
	LOL.
	It'll still be worth one ounce of gold.
	That's the thing.
	You look at what it can buy, it's very gold has value apart from the fiat currencies, and uh, you know, what that's one of the reasons why I don't really get too worried about tracking the price of it, because it's there to preserve money.
	We've talked for a long many times.
	We've talked about uh how much gold would it take to do this or that or buy this or that a hundred years ago.
	And if you look at it, uh it stays rough roughly the same uh over the centuries, and uh just adjusting for the difference in the labor cost and things like that for something like a suit or travel or something.
	But um gold retains its value and has retained its value.
	It's the dollar that you're seeing going up and down.
	It kind of reminds me of all the back and forth about metric versus the English system.
	You know, we're gonna do this in inches, we're gonna do it in centimeters.
	The uh metric system was a rational system in the sense that it was it was set up as um, you know, everything was there as powers of ten, so it's a tenth or a hundredth or whatever, or a thousand of this or that.
	Whereas uh, you know, gold, when you look at it, it had all these different odd ratios of uh 12 inches to a foot and three feet to a yard and so forth and so on.
	And it only got to be complicated when people wanted to convert the inches to the metric system.
	Within the metric system, it couldn't have been simpler, but it got complicated when people tried to convert from the English system to the metrics system, and that's what got people confused about it.
	So, you know, it's only confusing when we look at when we try to convert the value of gold into the value of a fiat currency, which is an irrational system.
	There's a lot that's irrational about our systems today.
	Nights of the storm, when a single wide trailer is selling for half a million dollars, then silver will be at $100 an ounce.
	It may not be that far away.
	Depends on where you live.
	I bet you could probably find a single wide trailer for half a million in places in California.
	Narrowway, narrowgate ministries.
	The tariffs of yesteryear works because the U.S. had the industrial production to use tariffs to protect its interests.
	Now the U.S. is Kmart, an importer of all, so tariffs don't protect, they steal.
	I agree.
	And when um uh when manufacturing is reshored, as I've said for the longest time, it's going to be reshored, not with human workers, but with automated or robotic workers.
	It's just going to be a uh a deal for Trump's friends and his uh donors.
	Yeah.
	We've got Gene X, make Banana Republic Manufacturing great again.
	Niburu 2029 says, made in the USA equals triple the cost for the same disposable garbage.
	Yeah, to some extent.
	Most of the stuff that people spend their money on these days are completely pointless frivolities that are just as you said, garbage disposable things that they'll use a couple times.
	Nadlander, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Nadlander says I do guitar repairs for a living.
	This is killing me too.
	Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that.
	Again, it's just Trump runs roughshod over small business.
	He never looks at the broader implications of his actions.
	I won't even call them policies.
	They're not that well thought out from him or from Navarro.
	Yeah.
	Cole 360 says not true.
	I've seen some great cardboard bangos.
	Uh Christian constitutional conservative tariffs are ultimately paid by we, the consumer.
	That's right.
	Companies just pass them on.
	Companies are about maximizing profit, and whatever they have to do to get there, they will.
	Knights of the Storm was there a serial number on the rifle?
	How's that gun control working?
	Gun control, as always, is working as well as it ever has, which is to say not at all.
	DG8, the people on the right will demand gun control and expansion of the police surveillance state.
	I agree.
	And I hope I hope you're wrong, but I fear you're right.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Learn more about the guerrilla tactics of the ACW, and you get a taste of what the unpopular part of civil war looks like.
	Absolutely true.
	Well, um, you want to see what civil war looks like?
	We've got uh Parliament burning in Nepal.
	This is their parliament building.
	Uh they call it the Durbar Palace.
	Oh, that's a bit um uh more realistic than calling it Parliament, because that's where our royalty meets as well.
	We should start calling it the Capitol Palace.
	Um a massive blaze engulfed it.
	It was an administrative complex, and uh it was part of the protest there.
	The Palace was built in 1908, Serves as a seat of Nepal's government, hosting several ministries and other key institutions.
	About 500 people were injured, including more than a hundred police officers and several people died and all that.
	That's what civil war looks like.
	You know, before we run out of time, isn't there a um special at RNC that's coming up tomorrow?
	Uh do you have that?
	Uh don't have that, but there is a sale going on at homesteadproducts.shop there.
	Yes.
	They want to they want you to go try it.
	They say people love it.
	They say it is delicious.

	We need to try that.
	I bet that tastes really good.
	And you know, we're always looking for something to drink that isn't going to be super high in calories and you know, full of chemical garbage.
	Full of chemicals and you know, housed in plastic or aluminum or something like that.
	It's great to make your own tea, and that sounds like a great deal.
	And again, people can find that.
	Uh they got a sale that's going on right now with that.
	Homestead Products.shop, and it's the organic passion flower tea.
	And you can also use promo code Knight for 10% off on the products on the website.

	They have a numerous amount of products of all different kinds.
	And again, it's a people who are like mind and share our values, and we want to support them.
	Well, Brian Shilhave has a story, uh headline uh the Trump birthday letter to the Epstein is a distraction.
	The real story is the nonpartisan Epstein beast, the U.S. banking system.
	And again, I he references the uh article that was on Zero Hedge.
	I talked about that yesterday.
	Uh Jamie Dieman and uh JP Morgan and Epstein's relationships with them, and of course the fact that he said there were somebody there in legal was a little bit concerned about uh doing business with Jeffrey Epstein three years after his conviction and non-punishment for pedophilia, and he said, Well, go talk to Bill Gates about me, which I guess that uh that worked because he's a friend of Bill Gates and all these people that are involved in that.
	Uh the U.S. Virgin Islands sued Chase Bank in 2022 for keeping bank accounts of Epstein where money was used for child sex trafficking.
	It settled without a trial in 2023.
	None of the 50 U.S. State Attorneys General could sue the bank over this issue, continuing to keep everyone's identity secret, because it has always been paramount to keep everyone's identity secret.
	And the cover-up has always come from the federal government, shutting all this stuff down, even shutting down investigations by any state attorney general.
	No matter the cost, even Trump's ego, they must keep these things secret because the GOP is about guarding our pedophiles now.
	The Democrats, as well, I mean, they were that a lot of Democrats were involved in this, but now they are taking the imaginary high ground on this, pretending that um they would not cover this stuff up when they have for a long time as well.
	Uh they're going to leave this completely at the doorstep of Donald Trump.
	Epstein stepped into J.P. Morgan's Chase headquarters at Park Avenue, rode the elevator to the executive floors.
	Remember, I talked about that yesterday.
	And the fact that they also gave him uh they also had his lawyer, Ken Starr, who came in and insisted that, quote, no crimes have been committed.
	Does that sound familiar?
	As I've said many times, Ken Starr said the same thing about Bill Clinton.
	He covered up all of these crimes of Clinton.
	Then he went from there to cover up all the crimes of Epstein.
	Then he became, and he was put out there as a straight arrow Christian attorney.
	Then he goes to Baylor University, which is uh supposed to be a Christian university, became the president there, and as president there, what he did was he covered up a um a sexual scandal there with the football team.
	And that was the last one that he got a chance to do.
	It's three strikes, and I guess he was out at that point.
	Uh they fired him from that.
	But he the guy here's a guy.
	Uh and again, this is the same type of thing that you're seeing on Mike Johnson.
	They put these people out and make a big deal about, oh, he's a Christian, this, a Christian, that.
	And they are the ones that they use to cover up for this stuff.
	That's why they can get so many things done with a Republican president that they can't get done with a Democrat president.
	Because people look at these labels and they give people a pass.
	They don't look at what they're actually doing.
	And so again, the massive amount of money that was there, and it's not just that, but it's also the suspicious activity reports of massive funds that were being transferred to and from Epstein.
	That is also something that is being covered up in the in it by the federal government.
	And it was not part of any trial, so there was no judge that is sitting there on that information.
	It is the Department of Justice that is setting on that information.
	So again, Brian Shilhavi is exactly right.
	That is the key thing.
	But it is interesting to see the Epstein birthday book that was there.
	And I'm gonna, I don't know if I've got time.
	I do have time to play this one, which I thought was pretty good.
	This was a um uh this was Moskowitz, who's a Democrat, and so he's making hay while the sun is shining on Trump and his cover-up of the of the pedophiles.
	And as people said, Well, that was not Trump's signature, and he goes, really?
	So this morning, uh our close personal friend, uh Mr. Comer said that he was not going to look into the letter or the the doodle, uh the president's doodle.
	He's a decent doodler, by the way.
	Um so he wasn't gonna look into whether the signature was a forgery, and I'm concerned about that.
	Because this is the president of the United States.
	If there are forgeries or forgers out there, I think we should investigate it.
	And in fact, this document is 22 years ago.
	It's got the automatic pen signer.
	Someone 22 years ago went back to the future and forged his signature when he was a Democrat.
	And somehow this person was Nostradamus, knew he would become a Republican, become president twenty-two years later.
	So listen, I submit to you that we can solve this problem for the American people.
	You don't have to take my word for it.
	You don't have to take our dear personal friend Mr. Comer's word for it.
	Uh let's bring in a signature expert.
	You guys pick the witnesses, bring in your signature experts, swear them under oath, and let's have the signature examined.
	Is it his or it is not his?
	We don't have to play games or or it, you know, the president says it's not his, we say it's him.
	No, no.
	Let's bring in a signature expert, a referee, because we can't agree on anything, even when it's right in our face, um, of whether that is indeed the president's signature, or if it's a forgery, we should immediately open up an investigation into this forgery.
	I think again, that's the key, isn't it?
	The key is that people are lying to your face about this, and for what purpose.
	Uh that that's the real issue that is there, and of course, Lance said that the other day as well uh about the signature.
	That should be pretty easy to establish whether it is real or not.
	But yeah, we had a time traveler who went back twenty years ago, forged his signature while Trump was still a Democrat and not involved in politics because you know, one day he was going to be the Republican president.
	Uh it's it's very interesting to see the uh contortions that the Trump administration is going through, that Mike Johnson is going through in order to cover up all this stuff.
	And we have to ask why.
	And we have to ask also what does it tell us about Trump, because again, you'll be known by your friends because they will make a uh uh an effect on you.
	As uh real clear politics says, Melania, please talk to Donald about Epstein.
	I imagine they've had many conversations about Epstein, don't you?
	They seem to all have been good friends at one point.
	So um they said uh calling this taking the position of just dismissing this as a Democrat hoax is absurd and nobody's gonna buy it.
	And I think nobody's gonna buy this signature stuff either.
	It is an act of desperation, and um it's uh it's waking people up, I think, to the lies and the deception that he's been get feeding them about so many different issues.
	So from that standpoint, I see it as a positive thing.
	Don't trust anybody, uh especially a pal of Jeffrey Epstein.
	Especially a pal of Jeffrey Epstein.
	Exactly.
	I want to remind you to please all keep Jason Barker's wife in your prayers.
	She had to go to the emergency room yesterday and pray for Brandon Grateful Basket as well.
	Yes.
	And Cecilia person is my words.
	Pray for them.
	Thank you all for watching.
	Thank you.
	The common man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	and the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.com.
	Thank you for listening.
