	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 19th of September, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well, the big news everywhere today is still part of a knock-on effect of the death of Charlie Kirk.
	Now that has been used to do what Trump has been wanting to do for quite some time, and that is to purge political enemies and to come after free speech.
	He wants to shut down all of the late-night court gestures of the left.
	These guys are not funny.
	Their shows have been political.
	I don't defend what they say.
	I don't watch what they say.
	I don't care about these guys.
	I care about free speech and the fact that the FCC is thuggishly intimidating people.
	We're going to talk about that.
	We're going to talk about some of Trump's law affair.
	Even Alan Dershowitz's pals said there's no way that this lawsuit against this most recent lawsuit against the New York Times, there's no way that he could win that.
	There's something else here involved.
	Again, it is intimidation.
	But there's some big news that's breaking in terms of the pharmaceutical industry.
	We're going to talk about the skull duggery, the crimes, and perhaps an extradition of one of these criminals.
	Stay with us.
	we'll be right back well as jimmy kimmel live is now jimmy kimmel dead air because he's been taken off of the air indefinitely Interestingly enough, they've done it in a way, I guess, to appease Trump because they have not fired him.
	He still has his contract with them.
	I guess they're still paying him.
	He wants to get out of his contract so he can do something else.
	They're not going to put him on air.
	They're just going to put him on the shelf, which is another kind of death to have that done to you, try to make you disappear.
	So we're going to play for you what he said.
	And of course, we could go back a long, long time digging up quotes from Jimmy Kimmel that are outrageous, untrue, malicious, and partisan.
	But he does not deserve to be fired by intimidation of the FCC.
	I mean, I could understand that if his ratings were bad, he's in second place.
	His ratings are not as horrible as Trump wants to pretend that they were.
	But I guess all these late night shows are losing money, but because they're not funny anymore.
	This is not Jay Leno.
	This is certainly not Johnny Carson.
	And so Trump doubles down, takes credit for it, and wants the rest of the shows shut down as well.
	Have we considered moving our time slot to the late night?
	It's open now, I guess.
	We should do that.
	That's a good point.
	I hadn't thought about that.
	We're actually late night people.
	This has really been grading against us to do a morning show.
	I'm just saying, there's a slot.
	Yeah, it was, again, you know, you got Brian Kilmead was the reason to blame for me going into the morning slot.
	I'll never forgive Brian Kilmead.
	Yeah, I had a choice at Infowars when we started because mine was the first show that we did.
	But I had heard Brian Kilmead on the way in on the radio, and I just thought he was just the worst commentator in terms of not understanding anything and just being this mindless cheerleader for the government.
	And of course, he recently came out, took a lot of flack because he said, I think we ought to just give lethal injections to the homeless.
	It's like, I thought you already did that in 2020.
	Didn't you cheerlead for the Trump shot?
	That's a lethal injection.
	Brian, with takes like that, you may be one of them fairly.
	So, yeah, he just, Brian, killed me.
	It's amazing.
	Anyway, so in the meetings that the ABC executives had after this, because immediately it got pushback, of course.
	In those meetings, multiple executives backed Kimmel before ABC ultimately decided to cut the late-night host's show, sources said, adding that senior executives ultimately feared retaliation from Trump.
	The report says multiple executives felt Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line.
	Well, I think what he said was over the line, but I think that it's a bad joke, and you can make bad jokes.
	It's funny to me that the other things that he said in the past were not considered to be over the line.
	Anyway, Jimmy Kimmel I was pulled on Wednesday after FCC chair Brendan Carr had threatened to withdraw ABC's broadcast licenses in an interview with YouTuber Benny Johnson.
	How repugnant is that?
	It's just beyond belief to think that this could happen.
	And to think that the conservatives would not be up in arms about this.
	As I said yesterday, and I've said many times, when Obama tried this kind of stuff, he used the FCC.
	He wanted to have news organizations.
	He was going to send people from the FCC and have the news organizations explain how they put the news together.
	And it's like, it's none of your business.
	I don't want you reviewing my content.
	You should not be reviewing content.
	And, of course, the prohibition is Congress shall make no law.
	But we're not ruled by Congress anymore.
	We're ruled by corporations and we're ruled by bureaucracies.
	And so the bureaucracies or the president is, I guess, the founders never figured that we would have businesses that would be so tied to a corrupt government that all you would have to do is say, well, we're going to make it difficult for you to have a, you know, to get money from the government because they hand out money to everybody as a bribery.
	That's the way they control everybody and everything.
	That's what I was saying through all of 2020.
	You know, they hold the purse strings to education.
	So they can punish you in one administration if you don't put the trainees in the girls' bathroom.
	And then they can punish you in the next administration if you don't pull them out.
	So it's just as arbitrary.
	That's the strings of control, of course, is the money.
	And that is the ways that they've got over them.
	Of course, also privilege licenses.
	And that's what Carr was saying at the FCC.
	He said, these licenses are a privilege.
	And they are.
	They're not a right.
	They are a privilege.
	And they're weaponizing that against the First Amendment, which I think is a crime.
	That is every bit as bad as making a law.
	But they always say that there's a difference between the bureaucratic rules and the laws.
	And when they say that, they say you don't have any due process or constitutional protection against bureaucratic rules.
	That's even worse because you don't elect the people who run these bureaucracies.
	You elect the congressmen in theory.
	We know how the gerrymandering works.
	But the theory is, is that the people who are going to make the laws are accountable to the voters.
	There is no way that the bureaucracies are accountable to the voters.
	And yet, when they say that this is not a law, this is a rule, we don't have to give you due processes, which is the argument that they make with civil asset forfeiture and other things that they do.
	And that's where we are now with free speech.
	So now they don't have to make a law to kill free speech.
	They can just do it with government regulation.
	So he said, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
	He said in the interview.
	He's publicly saying this.
	These people are mafia figures.
	They are.
	I'm just wondering if these ABC executives, if any of them woke up the next day with a horsehead in their bed.
	This is the kind of tactics.
	Don the Godfather, he knows that well because he operated in New York for a very long time.
	It's just a mafia White House.
	And so he said, we can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way.
	And so the ABC executives caved on this.
	ABC pulled him off the air after FCC pressure.
	The abrupt decision by the network owned by Walt Disney came hours after the chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, assailed Kimmel, suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host had made on the Monday telecast.
	The comments at the center of the week's firestorm came during his opening monologue on Monday night.
	I'll get right to those.
	He actually, this is the second joke he told.
	What I thought was interesting was the very first joke he told was how I opened my show on Monday, which was looking at Trump's comments about the Sissy NFL.
	And this kind of says, I don't like this rule that they just put in.
	How do these guys get to make up these rules like this and just put them in without anybody having a say?
	And it's like, well, that's a private organization and they can do whatever they want.
	You, on the other hand, Trump, have taken this on yourself, whether it's tariffs or something else, to do this.
	And that is against the major rule, the Constitution.
	And so I thought that was pretty ironic.
	I don't know really where he was going with it.
	I just thought that was funny that he had that as the first joke.
	So here's the comment, the offending comment.
	Some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
	In between the finger pointing, there was grieving.
	On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism.
	But on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this.
	My condules on the laws of your friend Charlie Kirk.
	May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir?
	I think very good.
	And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks?
	They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years.
	And it's going to be a beauty.
	Yes.
	He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction.
	Demolition.
	Construction.
	This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend.
	This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish, okay?
	And that was, Lance had mentioned that the other day, but I had not seen the clip.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Yeah, I'm taking it pretty well.
	By the way, did you notice my great new thing that I'm building here?
	So I thought that was funny.
	It is all against Trump.
	And of course, you know, I'm a critic of Trump as well, but he has in the past come out and said things.
	He basically, Jimmy Kimmel, did not get any flack when he wanted to kill those of us who were not vaxed.
	Remember this?
	If hospitals get any more overcrowded, they're going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU, but that choice doesn't seem so tough to me.
	Vaccinated person having a heart attack?
	Yes, come right on in.
	We'll take care of you.
	Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo?
	Rest in peace, Weezy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So there you go.
	You know, if you play the game and if you inject the poison of his sponsors, we'll give you some hospital treatment if you've got a heart attack.
	Otherwise, we'll let you die.
	Funny that the example was a heart attack on what we know about the vaccine now.
	Yeah.
	Oh, the irony, right?
	Vaccinated person having a heart attack.
	And yes, there will be quite a lot of those.
	Yeah.
	So Carr, the FCC, said this is part of a concerted effort to lie to the American people.
	And the FCC was going to have remedies that we can look at.
	We can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way.
	As I said before, he told Benny Johnson.
	These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel.
	Or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.
	Look, this is the same kind of stuff that was happening behind closed doors.
	It's now been proven.
	We knew it was happening for social media companies.
	And it's now been proven with the documents that Elon Musk released.
	By the way, Elon Musk is now out there, the great defender of free speech, is out there saying there should be prison terms for some of the people who are criticizing or making fun or light of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
	So much for free speech, right?
	And we knew these people were doing this with social media.
	They are just like the Republicans now or just like Hillary, for example.
	The platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.
	And it's not just the social and psychological effects.
	It's real hard.
	Yeah, there you go.
	And we see the same thing from AOC.
	I think that several members of Congress in some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here.
	And we're going to have to figure out How we reign in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation.
	It's one thing to have differing opinions, but it's not entirely to just say things that are false.
	And so that's something that we're looking into.
	Yeah, well, you know, the problem is that people have honest disagreements of opinion as to what true and false are.
	That's why we have debates and discussions.
	That's why Charlie Kirk did what he did.
	But now the right has become exactly the same as Hillary Clinton, AOC, the squad, all the rest of these people.
	And we were told that they weren't going to do that, right?
	They've been canceling conservatives for the longest time.
	And J.D. Vance, the beginning of the administration, remember, he went to Munich, Germany, the conference, and he got the Europeans very upset because, of course, the Europeans are doing this as well.
	It doesn't matter whether the people are conservatives or liberals.
	It really doesn't matter.
	They could be communists or non-communists.
	They're all doing the same thing.
	It's just like the pandemic.
	Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth.
	So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer.
	And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.
	In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town.
	And under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square, agree or disagree.
	Yeah, that has an aged world.
	Legally, these people when I clap it, they don't like that.
	Yeah, we're not going to let you say that in the public.
	This is where we are, folks.
	The open hostility that you saw there in the EU.
	And I played the clip of Ursula fond of lying and how she said, that's the number one thing that we're facing here is disinformation, misinformation.
	And of course, disinformation and misinformation is anything that they disagree with, anything that exposes their lies.
	And so they do not want to have any debate, any free speech.
	And so now that's where we are right now.
	We have all the political parties, both sides, want to shut the other side down.
	There is no tolerance for free speech.
	This summer, Carr's FCC approved a major merger involving CBS's owner, Paramount, days after CBS agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the president.
	And this is yet another example of this.
	Trump filed this lawsuit on a personal basis.
	This is a personal lawsuit.
	This is not a lawsuit that was filed by the federal government or the Attorney General.
	This is for him personally.
	You damaged me.
	You made La La Harris look good.
	And it's like, well, you won.
	They should have fought, but they didn't.
	Instead, they settled with him and gave him $16 million.
	So think about this.
	Trump used the threat of people like Carr and the FCC to pull their license so that he could profit $16 million.
	Is that not in your face corruption?
	I just, I can't believe it, Travis.
	This is just the most corrupt administration I've ever seen in my life.
	And it's only going to get worse from here.
	This is just the beginning of it.
	And he's getting his way.
	He's only being emboldened because you cannot appease tyrants, whether it's Hitler or Trump.
	A tyrant is only going to be emboldened when you give up like this.
	And again, to use the power of his office to threaten somebody so that he can personally gain from this.
	Just amazing.
	And what they were saying was, of course, there's nothing that they can do really against the network, but it's against the affiliates who have a broadcasting license for a particular frequency.
	And that was the reason given for why they set up the FCC, was that they were going to have an auction to sell off the frequencies to people, and then they were going to make sure and police it so that somebody didn't infringe on their frequencies in a particular area.
	So they have rules about how powerful the broadcast can be.
	And so they've got a lot of AM radio stations who don't have a lot of power.
	We had one in the Raleigh area that was a 50,000-watt station.
	And with AM radio with right weather conditions, you could bounce it off the atmosphere and you could pick them up down in the Caribbean somewhere sometimes.
	That was very, very powerful.
	You get them a very long way if you had the right kind of weather conditions.
	It's just the way AM works.
	But they don't give out those kind of licenses anymore.
	That was grandfathered in for that station.
	And so they've got these frequency spectrum.
	They can use that to bully people.
	And of course, Sinclair, which is a network of stations.
	If you remember, we've played the clip in the past.
	Many people played it.
	Where Sinclair was giving talking points to their news presenters.
	Now they say that they're coming from the conservative side establishment, Republican, so to speak.
	So they had, and we've played that, where they start reading the script and they're all reading it in unison.
	You start with one anchor reading it, and then you go to another station where somebody else is reading exactly the same script.
	We played that many times to show just how scripted the media is and how it is centrally controlled when it is a large corporation like Sinclair.
	So what Sinclair is going to do is on their stations tonight in Jimmy Kimmel's airspace that's now void, they are going to broadcast a tribute to Charlie Kirk.
	This is getting kind of crazy.
	Look, it bothered me a great deal to see that assassination.
	And I feel for his family.
	But I got to say, we've got to stop with this hero worship.
	It is just going too far.
	And they're using it to destroy everything that he worked for in his life.
	He worked for free speech.
	He worked for debate.
	He worked for people being able to have discussions and disagreements with each other.
	He worked against the cancel culture.
	And so they're destroying it now in order to honor him, so to speak.
	So Kimmel said he was going to address the backlash on the Wednesday telecast, but Disney executives decided that they would not allow his show to be taped yet again.
	So as FCC chair, Mr. Carr wields power over the broadcast licenses granted to local TV stations by the federal government.
	Carr encouraged local ABC stations to push back and to preempt coverage that does not serve their local communities.
	There you go.
	And he will tell you what serves the local communities.
	This is what we feared from Obama is being done now by Trump.
	And what it has done is it's allowed Obama to get on a pedestal and pontificate about how wonderful free speech is.
	He doesn't mean that.
	He doesn't mean it any more than J.D. Vance meant it.
	These people are just hypocrites and liars.
	He wanted to do the same thing, but it didn't happen.
	Why?
	Because there was massive pushback.
	There was pushback from the media against it.
	There was pushback from conservatives against it.
	These people are not pushing back when Trump does it.
	You know, I played Hillary Clinton.
	And I said, you know, when Hillary, if Hillary Clinton wanted to shut down speech and use the FCC to threaten to shut down stations, everybody would have pushed back against that.
	But see, when Trump does this kind of stuff, and I said this about the pandemic, if Hillary Clinton had been there, the system needed to have Donald Trump because the people who would have been most likely to push back against this would be mesmerized by Trump.
	They would have definitely pushed back against the lockdowns and the vaccines if they had been done by Hillary.
	And we saw the left pushing back against the vaccines when they were done by Trump.
	But then as soon as Biden got in, it was okay.
	They were saying vaccines.
	But now that Biden is president, we can take the vaccines.
	Couldn't take them if it was Trump.
	This is the insanity that these people are operating under.
	So Carr said, frankly, I think it's just really sort of past time that a lot of these licensed broadcasters themselves push back on Comcast and Disney and say, listen, we're going to preempt.
	We're not going to run Kimmel anymore unless you straighten us out.
	Well, of course, they could make that decision if they thought it was in their best interest.
	They don't need Carr to tell them that.
	They carried it because they thought it was in their best interest.
	Now that the government is wiping out the free market's input, it's in their best interest to censor this because Carr is threatening them.
	Shortly after Carr's remarks, Next Star, an owner of affiliate ABC affiliates around the country, said it would preempt Mr. Kimmel's program, quote, for the foreseeable future.
	Late Wednesday, Sinclair, this is the one I talked about, said that they will make a meaningful donation to Mr. Kirk's family and the organization that he had, Turning Point USA.
	And then later on, they said that they're going to air a tribute to him in Kimmel's former time slot.
	Trump and his allies seem to want to shut down speech that they don't like to hear.
	That's Chucky Schumer.
	Do we really want to hand, do we really want to give a softball pitch to people like Schumer and Obama?
	These people don't like free speech.
	Why let them pretend that they do?
	But of course, the right was pretending that they did all along as well.
	He said, this is what autocracies do.
	And for the first time in his life, Chucky Schumer is right.
	It doesn't matter whether you agree with Kimmel or not.
	He has a right to free speech.
	That's right.
	Except now we know that this is just a partisan thing.
	Free speech depends on who is in power.
	Truth depends on who is in power, doesn't it?
	This is truly Orwellian.
	We change our enemies as we change administrations.
	So then he goes on to say, well, we're not done yet.
	Even after Kimmel was suspended by ABC.
	And so there's a lot of different ways that you can interpret this.
	Is he going to, as Trump tweeted out, wanting to say, well, the next guys, come on, NBC, you've got to get rid of these next guys that are still there.
	And is that what he means?
	Or does he mean that there is, he seemed to imply that there's going to be punishment for ABC, nevertheless.
	Because again, if you're going to allow these people to operate as dictators against free speech, you can't appease dictators.
	So just like Bondi, this guy Carr, is a lawless partisan thug.
	His loyalty is to Trump, not to the Constitution that he swore to.
	Carr believes Kimmel's comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk were misleading and could warrant action against ABC.
	It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we've had in a long time for the most significant political assassination we've seen in a long time, he said.
	And again, that was the nonsense which a lot of people are questioning a lot of aspects about the assassination.
	The official story, however, is that the guy was in a relationship with a tranny, that he had left and fought with his conservative family, and yet the left wanted to portray him as if he was a right-winger.
	Someone to portray him as a follower of Nick Fuentes and the Groipers and whatever.
	But again, that doesn't even fit in the official story.
	And you must not say anything other than the official story.
	So are they going to go out and hammer people like Candace Owen, who is saying that it is Israel that killed him?
	Because, I mean, that's both anti-Semitic and against the official narrative.
	That's two strikes against her right there.
	Again, I don't think we can really make a conclusion yet whether any of these stories are true, including the official narrative.
	But to shut down any discussion of this, this is exactly the same stuff that was being done in 2020.
	I asked earlier about Fallon and Seth Meyers.
	But is the president's view that they should be taken off the air shared by the FCC?
	Asked the interviewer.
	Carr said, well, I don't speak for the president.
	In other words, he tells me what to say.
	He tells me what to do.
	We don't know.
	This is all up in the air because we don't have any principles here.
	We don't have the principle of the First Amendment.
	That's gone.
	So it's all up to the whims of the president.
	I don't speak for the president, and the president doesn't follow the Constitution.
	So we really don't know what he's going to do.
	We can try to read the tea leaves and the garbage that he spews on social media.
	What does it mean when you say that you're not done yet?
	He was asked in another interview with David Farber, CNBC.
	Then I mean, will you only be pleased when none of these comedians have a show on broadcast TV?
	Carr said, no, it's not any particular show or any particular person.
	It's just that we're in the midst of a very disruptive moment right now.
	And I just frankly expect that we're going to continue to see changes in the media ecosystem.
	That's a good way to put it.
	It's actually ecosystem.
	But I guess I was afraid in slip.
	It is an echo system.
	And you will echo what the official story is about whatever the crisis of the day is, right?
	When the crisis of the day was the pandemic, you can't say there's not a pandemic.
	When they are pushing Rem Desavir and ventilators, you can't tell people about Ivermectin or HCQ.
	And when they're pushing the genetic code injection, you can't warn people as you see people dropping dead on the mayor's database run by the government.
	So it's whatever the issue of the day is.
	Asked by anchor Jim Kramer.
	Yes.
	It's also this assassination.
	We don't know what happened yet.
	But if you set the precedent of once there's a assassination, then you can't say anything bad about the one that was assassinated.
	Then even in cases where it's a clear false flag in the future, or are they going to extend that protection to anyone questioning the official story?
	Wouldn't they have liked to have had that back at the JFK assassination?
	I mean, the only feeble attempt that they could do was to coin the term conspiracy theorist.
	If you didn't believe the official story, that was the best they could do at the time.
	Now what you can do is you can shut down any and all media.
	You can ban people off of social media.
	Maybe even put us in jail if Musk gets his way.
	It's just insane.
	Their techniques have gotten a lot more sinister and authoritarian.
	Also effective.
	Yeah.
	So speaking in England on Thursday, Trump said Kimmel said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk, and Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person.
	Well, actually, he said nothing about Charlie Kirk.
	What he was saying was he was criticizing MAGA, saying that the government alleged assassin was part of MAGA, and that is not true.
	And he also ripped Trump every opportunity that he got.
	What he does is he showed what a horrible person Trump is.
	But anyway, he said he had very bad ratings.
	They should have fired him a long time ago.
	So, you know, you can call that free speech or not.
	He was fired for lack of talent, but he wasn't fired.
	They still have him under contract.
	They're putting him on the shelf trying to silence them.
	This is, for him, worse than being fired.
	And that's the other thing about it that bothers me.
	It's not just making a hero out of Obama and out of Chuck Schumer, letting them stand on the side of the Constitution and right and being on the right side of the issue verbally about this, even though they have pushed deep platforming and censorship heavily themselves in the past.
	It's that they're making a hero and a martyr out of somebody as vile and disgusting as Jimmy Kimmel.
	So again, Carr continues to make these threats about taking licenses from people.
	And we're at a moment right now where he's going to create an echo chamber for the government.
	House Democrat leaders on Thursday called for Carr's resignation, alleging that he had engaged, quote, in the corrupt abuse of power, as they did a couple of years ago.
	And it's not to say then that he gets a pass.
	I want to see all these people taken out, going to jail, etc.
	So there's just no pushback from either side now on this.
	Kimmel's cancellation proves that right-wingers are the real snowflakes, writes the Metro and the UK.
	The hypocrisy of those who claim to champion free speech, but are quick to silence dissenting voices.
	And that gives them an opportunity in the UK to come after Trump because it was J.D. Vance that was lecturing the British over their outrageous censorship.
	So now it's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
	This is the childish aspects of this.
	You don't need to be a civil liberties lawyer to feel the chill.
	What happened to the absolutist free speech that the right used to love so much?
	Well, they don't love any principle.
	They love Trump or Charlie, I guess.
	But actually, that's not, I just don't see how they can think that they are honoring Charlie Kirk to do exactly the opposite of what the man always said and always stood for.
	I just don't get that.
	I mean, I understand Trump never made any glowing recommendations about free speech.
	He never stood for free speech.
	We're getting purged during the Trump administration.
	The big purge in Infowars was midterm for Trump.
	It was just before the midterms.
	It was in 2018.
	And it wasn't just Infowars.
	That happened in the beginning of August.
	And then when we got to October, right before the election, there were 800 sites that got purged on social media by the Democrats and on Democrat orders.
	They had a list that they put together.
	And they sent that around to the different social media companies who did their bidding, just like this.
	That's the way it's done.
	And so you don't need to be a civil liberties lawyer to understand what's going on with this.
	And The right who used to hate cancel culture now loves it.
	It truly is Orwellian.
	So Trump is now setting his sights on Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers.
	He said in his tweet, he said, that leaves Jimmy and Seth two total losers on fake news NBC.
	Their ratings are also horrible.
	Do it, NBC.
	So, you know, you need to fire them, or we will do something to you as well.
	Kimmel's show, as I said before, was in second place among viewers overall in late night, but it was first place amongst the 18 to 49 age group, which is a key demographic that advertisers are looking for.
	If you get past 49, you're not so susceptible to buying the latest fad thing like those glasses from Zuckerberg.
	They want to give the people between 18 and 49, they've got some money, but maybe not enough experience to see through the glasses that he's putting on.
	They don't have that much money, but they've got even less common sense.
	But they are the key target.
	The generation that will finance a pizza or something on DoorDash.
	That's right.
	So as long as they get it, they don't care if they can afford it or not.
	We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize the kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.
	That was the thing that they're saying that this is about.
	Now, is that a criticism of Charlie Kirk?
	No.
	That's a criticism of MAGA, as I said.
	It's a criticism of Trump.
	He really made Trump look absurd and ridiculous.
	And I thought that was quite funny.
	Anyway, Jimmy Fallon drops out of an event at the last minute following Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
	So already it seems to be having an effect.
	Maybe NBC is going to fire him.
	He's already disappeared from an event.
	An ex-Biden advisor says that the Trump crackdown is disrespectful to Charlie Kirk's memory.
	Well, we all know it is.
	It's not just me and the Democrats who are saying this.
	Babylon B pointed that out as well in terms of an irony.
	So they said they're doing exactly the opposite of Charlie Kirk.
	Former senior Biden aide Andrew Bates said the perceived Trump-led crackdown on speech is disrespectful to the memory of slain activist Charlie Kirk.
	In a substat interview before Kimmel's suspension, Bates brought up the efforts to punish speech around the Kirk killing as well as Trump's idea to use racketeering laws, that's the RICO statutes, against protesters who called him Hitler in a restaurant.
	Again, the RICO statutes arose from the drug war issues, and that was really the thing that Rudy Giuliani used to make his career, his career as a prosecutor, then he became mayor.
	That was all based on the RICO statutes.
	And then the RICO statutes continued to evolve as they were able to dispense with due process and a conviction.
	They could take people's property before they tried them.
	That was what the RICO statute was about.
	That continued to evolve into civil asset forfeiture.
	And this is one of the horrific knock-on effects of the war on drugs.
	It hasn't stopped anybody from taking drugs, not a single person, as we can see.
	And it hasn't stopped them, actually encouraged them to make more virulent forms of drugs.
	But the other thing it has done is it's destroyed due process.
	It's corrupted the judiciary, law enforcement, and the government in general.
	Andrew Bates said, I think what you're seeing a lot of the time is a lack of decency.
	Or say the fact that after you had this terrible murder of Charlie Kirk, and now this week we have Vance and Trump trying to take away First Amendment rights of people who disagree with them, which is disrespectful to Kirk's memory and to the memory of everybody who has been harmed by political violence.
	I don't think that that is the kind of thing the American people want from their leaders at all.
	I'm afraid that it is.
	I think the people on both the left and the right want this.
	That's why we're getting it from the people, the politicians on the left and right.
	Certainly, the radical left likes it and the MAGA right likes it as well.
	I think they want to be brought together.
	I don't think that we want this.
	Railing against unity, which is literally, literally, all this week.
	And then the interviewer said, Kirk was a free speech warrior.
	I've heard few people say that he would not approve.
	If Charlie Kirk could materialize before our eyes, would he be speaking out against, what would he be speaking out that Trump and these guys have been doing?
	Andrew Bates says, Well, what I know is that it is not respectful to people's intelligence on the one hand to talk about someone as a champion of First Amendment rights and then the same breath try to take away First Amendment rights from the people who disagree with you.
	I can't speculate on what he would say.
	And I respect that his family is going through a loss, something that should never ever happen, something that is the opposite of what we need to be as a country.
	But what distresses me, and what I think is especially offensive, is this attempted political weaponization of what happened to try and scare people out of saying that they disagree with their government, which is a sacred American right.
	That's the sacred American right that the Biden administration did not support on January the 6th.
	But again, the hypocrisy is rife on both sides.
	As a matter of fact, Kimmel was suspended for calling Charlie Kirk shooter MAGA.
	But Don Trump Jr. did exactly the same thing after the Minnesota shootings.
	This is from MediaIte, which is a left-wing publication.
	He said MAGA supporters have done the same thing they've accused Kimmel of doing.
	In June, Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in their home by a man pretending to be a police officer.
	The same man also shot John Hoffman and his wife, but they survived the attack.
	The suspected gunman was later identified as Vance Luther Belter.
	Those who knew him claimed that he was a conservative and a supporter of Trump.
	Belter previously worked on the governor's workforce development board in Minnesota.
	In 2019, Governor Tim Waltz reappointed him to the nonpartisan board, leading the right to claim that Belter was a fellow Democrat.
	So countless MAGA figures pushed this theory.
	As a matter of fact, the guy is mentally unbalanced.
	I don't know when you want to say that he belongs to one team or the other, you're basically accusing both the teams of being mentally unbalanced, which at this point is probably true.
	But again, he was appointed by Tim Waltz.
	It was a non-partisan board or whatever.
	He eventually came out and said that he was ordered by Tim Waltz to assassinate people.
	So I think that this is something some of the people on the right picked up and believed that claim.
	I think the guy is there.
	Yeah, I think so, yeah.
	Anyway, Trump Jr. told News Nation the suspect seems to be leftist and a Democrat.
	And he referenced Laura Loomer, which, you know, we always go to for the most accurate information.
	A trusted source.
	How are those tires?
	Who called for Waltz to be detained by the FBI and interrogated?
	Conservative podcaster Benny Johnson was quoted saying Belter was a Tim Waltz associate.
	Senator Mike Lee famously came under fire for a series of unhinged tweets mocking Waltz for the shooting.
	In one of them, Lee included a photo of the suspect and said, This is what happens when Marxists don't get their way.
	Lee later deleted the tweets after being confronted about it by a fellow member of Congress.
	He was also grilled by a reporter over the tweets, but simply walked away without saying a word.
	So again, this is the same type of thing.
	There was not a lot of evidence to show that he was a lefty shooting other lefties, and yet they played the same game exactly.
	And how many times have people, both political figures and media figures, fallen for the meme of Sam Hyde was the shooter for whatever assassination or atrocity has gone on?
	I got blocked by Jake Tapper when he fell for that, and I called him out on it.
	He blocked me on Twitter, but that was years ago.
	So do they all need to be fired now?
	Yeah, I guess so.
	What was that reference about the tires?
	Oh, at one point, Laura Loomer started a griff saying that people had slashed her tires and posted pictures of it, but it was really obvious she had just left her car sitting so long her tires had rotted and deflated.
	So she's gone full Jesse Smollett.
	Yeah, this was many years ago, but it's something that lives eternally in my mind.
	Just the fact that either one, she's so utterly shameless that she'll try to grift off some obviously, you know, just old bad tires, or she's so dumb she can't tell the difference between a rotted tire and a tire that has been slashed maliciously.
	So either way, it's just slashed by Father Time.
	There we go.
	So Handy claims no conservative wanted Kimmel fired, really.
	Completely ignoring Trump doing that.
	Sean Hannity actually said on his show, he had Fox News contributor Joe Concha.
	He said, I would argue that Kimmel did this to himself.
	But of course, people want to blame conservatives for this happening, said Sean Hannity.
	He said, can you name one prominent conservative that said, I want Jimmy Kimmel fired because I can't, said Hannity.
	Concha said, can't find it.
	Don't see it online.
	Quite frankly, it doesn't exist.
	And so that kind of leaves out one prominent conservative who seems to be the only conservative who matters now.
	It's whatever Trump says.
	That is what the Conservative Party believes.
	Well, it's what the Republican Party believes.
	Are they admitting now that Donald Trump isn't a conservative?
	Yeah, no, they're not admitting that, although we know that he never has been.
	Trump himself has explicitly called for ABC to fire Kimmel, as well as many other people, and he was calling for other people to be fired as well.
	He had attacked Kimmel as talentless at one point, demanding that ABC get rid of Kimmel and replace him with George Stephanopoulos during an Oscar hosting gig.
	After Stephen Colbert's ouster earlier this year, Trump even leaned into a mob boss flourish by suggesting that Kimmel would be the next to go.
	Brendan Carr said plainly that ABC should suspend Kimmel and suggested affiliates could refuse to air his program, and that if they didn't, he would take their license.
	We can do this the easy way or the hard way, he said.
	In short, the claim that no prominent conservative ever called for Kimmel's ouster strains credulity.
	Well, that's putting it mildly.
	It's a bold-faced lie.
	Trump has done so explicitly.
	Carr has done so in his official capacity as a regulator.
	And Fox News contributors have repeatedly taken aim at Kimmel's continued employment at ABC.
	And so the Atlantic, and I won't go into details of what they have to say because it's pretty redundant, but they do call it an escalation in every way.
	Kimmel's suspension from late night is a chilling precedent that could have deep consequences if it isn't swiftly undone.
	But that's what Trump is there for.
	He is there for precedence.
	He is President Trump, and he is there to keep us fighting with each other.
	I mean, just go back and look.
	Whatever happened to all this stuff about Greenland and about Canada and fentanyl coming from Canada.
	He's made one idiotic, baseless claim after the other, all designed to get people fighting with each other.
	It's just pure professional wrestling.
	So you've got John Nolte at Breitbart says that Jimmy Kimmel is unrepentant and livid.
	Well, of course he is.
	But he's going to be put in the Hall of Fame.
	He's now going to be a hero forever to the left.
	Yeah, we've got to, yeah, play the, well, no, we won't play the Greenland song.
	We did that.
	That was Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk up there in Greenland.
	So this is what John Nolte is saying on Breitbart.
	He says, this is blood libel.
	What utter nonsense to say that the shooter was one of the MAGA people.
	That was a false claim that was circulating early on, and it didn't fit the allegations that they made, if you believe the allegations that they made.
	But this is blood libel.
	So next he's going to say that it's racism and anti-Semitism.
	And this is not certainly an argument.
	This is garbage coming from John Nolte, who, by the way, was wrong about every single thing about the fake pandemic throughout its entirety.
	And when he would put up these articles on Breitbart, he would get ratioed by the commentators that were there.
	They absolutely, they knew what was going on, and he was lying to his own audience about it.
	But he's still there.
	He says, Kimmel's joke was not a tasteless joke.
	His was an ethical breach.
	He lied.
	He can lie on Substack, but not on our airways.
	And so now Nolte is cheering for the FCC to be a federal censorship organization instead of communications, right?
	So it'll be the Federal Censorship Committee, instead of the Federal Communications Committee.
	And then, of course, how long before they say, well, why should they be allowed to lie on Substack if they aren't allowed to lie on the air?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Breitbart needs to be careful just like the rest of these so-called conservatives who are not trying to conserve anything, especially free speech.
	They're not trying to conserve our culture.
	They're trying to get political gain out of this and money and shame on them for that.
	Comments.
	We have many comments.
	We've got M-O-E Studios says, David, I watched Richard Jewell, excellent film.
	Yes.
	Thank you for the recommendation.
	I still need to watch that.
	Yeah, I would recommend that to everybody, especially you.
	I know you would like it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	B.L. Houghton, indeed, FBI equals FIB.
	That's right.
	They're fibbing.
	They be fibbin.
	The real octo spook.
	Trump has destroyed his credibility with Epstein evil, and he continues full tilt and is not slowing down.
	Francine, freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences to what you say.
	That's right.
	But the consequences don't need to be determined by the government.
	That's the key.
	The market is fully capable, as we saw with Cracker Barrel, right?
	Somebody does something that people don't like.
	We saw that with a Bud Light where they're pushing trainee stuff.
	But if people, the public, doesn't like what you're doing, we've seen it also with NASCAR.
	NASCAR decided that they would go full tilt against the values of their audience.
	So the marketplace should be making that decision, and you should be able to boycott anybody that you disagree with.
	But that's not something that we want the government telling people what to do.
	That's been my position as well.
	It's just, you know, as an individual, as a group of individuals, make your voices heard, make it known.
	If these people are out there and they're celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, they're someone like a teacher.
	You cannot leave that person in place.
	They're going to harass your children.
	They're going to treat them differently.
	A doctor, anyone in a position where they're supposed to be giving care cannot be trusted to give care equally.
	And as such, they are not entitled to that job, in my opinion.
	They cannot be trusted and need to be removed.
	But we don't want the government in there telling people, oh, well, maybe if you don't remove this, we're going to, you know, we'll make life difficult for you.
	I don't want the government involved in this.
	That's right.
	And like Serpico said, Frank Serpico.
	Frank Sorpico.
	Yeah.
	He said that you're always going to have bad people.
	And the test of the organization is if they're going to get rid of those bad people.
	If they don't, the organization itself is contaminated and bad.
	And that applies to any of these institutions, whether they're public or private, that are out there.
	But we don't want to see the government making it illegal to run boycotts of people either.
	And that's one of the allegations of what's going on with the movement for the pro-Israel groups that they're putting pressure on Johnson and others as Johnson is meeting in secret with these people and pledging that he will do everything that he can that they want.
	There are indications that they want to stop the boycotting and diversification movement of people not investing in Israeli companies and things like that.
	That is also your right to do a boycott.
	So we'll know if that's true.
	Israel has already jumped in as an enemy of free speech.
	And that's one of the things that has emboldened Trump.
	And it began with that.
	It began with censorship.
	That's why when John Nolte said this is blood libel, it's like, come on.
	You know, have you been bought to?
	It's just amazing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We've got Yonah Aniwody.
	Free speech includes false speech and hate speech.
	Freedom is scary.
	Bite your fingernails or something.
	Yeah.
	As a matter of fact, a lot of people are putting up the quote, and I haven't read it yet, the quote from Charlie Kirk himself back in May.
	And I'm just paraphrasing it here.
	But he said, there's no such thing as hate speech.
	There's vile speech.
	There's ugly speech.
	There's false speech or whatever, but there is no such thing as hate speech.
	And we just need to get over it.
	And that's exactly what he was doing when he was on campus.
	We have the real.
	No, we've got Doug to 007.
	Misinformation is whatever the government declares is misinformation.
	That's right.
	They get to decide you're not going to have a say in it.
	And Torrinator, thank you very much.
	We appreciate that.
	Says Happy Friday, everyone.
	I highly recommend playing this video that contrasts what Charlie said about hate speech versus what Bondi is saying.
	Well, if you want to play that, yeah, you can if you want to pull that up.
	Yes.
	Give us an idea.
	We have to look at that.
	I'll do that.
	Go ahead and keep reading the comments along.
	Yeah, we've got Shelly A, never let a good crisis go to waste.
	And this is a very good crisis.
	Yeah.
	B.L. Houghton, they've been fundraising on Charlie's death, too.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Defy Tyrant 1776.
	Jimmy Kimmel said nothing that should have got him fired.
	That's right.
	Over the years, he said some very unfunny things.
	I think he's low enough.
	Far worse than that, actually.
	I mean, just that clip that I played where he said, you know, you need to euthanize people if they don't get the vaccine.
	I mean, it's just, or denied medical treatment to them.
	And we saw that was happening, as a matter of fact.
	And he made a joke of it.
	That's absolutely reprehensible.
	But, you know, just to say that, yeah, this guy was a MA guy.
	That's what they're focusing on.
	He showed what Trump did, which was reprehensible and funny at the same time.
	It was Trump did that to himself.
	He didn't even need to make the joke.
	He just showed what a joke Trump is.
	Yeah.
	We've got the real octo spook.
	Government has no lands, no radio frequencies, nothing.
	They are selling ours.
	Yeah.
	Selling off public lands, the only last refuge of wildlife, recreation, hiking, exploring, jeeping, etc., selling out public radio frequencies with none allocated for home broadcasters.
	The government only gets worse and more destructive.
	Yeah.
	Do you have the clip?
	Okay, let's play that clip that was suggested by Tornador.
	Bad people are allowed to speak.
	There's free speech and then there's hate speech.
	And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.
	My position is that even hate speech should be completely and totally allowed in our country.
	The most disgusting speech should absolutely be protected.
	And it's not a viewpoint that is held by the left.
	The ACLU used to hold this viewpoint.
	The American Civil Liberties Union, they sued so that legitimate Nazis could march through downtown Skokie.
	You remember this?
	Back in the 80s and 90s?
	Now, why would the ACLU do this?
	Because they said, as soon as you use the word hate, that is a very subjective term.
	Because then all of a sudden it is in the eyes or the it is in the implementation of whomever has the power.
	Do you see more law enforcement going after these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on people so we show them that some action is better than no action?
	We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
	And that's across the aisle.
	I think that in a civil society, the best ideas will win as long as you have that marketplace.
	And here's the real issue.
	As soon as you shut up hate speech, those people only get more powerful.
	And this is the unintended consequence of censorship.
	You give more credence to the silenced person the moment you shut them up, because then they can play the victim and they say, they're trying to shut me up because I have something that everyone else wants and I'm a threat to them.
	No, you're not.
	You're just a fool.
	And those people have too much power.
	And so the minute that you start to enforce speech laws like they do in Europe based on specific political opinions, regardless of how reprehensible they are, then you actually give credence to them.
	This is why in Germany, where they do not allow swastikas, they do not allow Nazi paraphernalia, their white nationalist, awful movement is actually gaining traction because it has like a rebellious underbelly.
	No, no, no.
	Let me be very clear.
	Bring your bad ideas publicly so decent people can cross-examine you so we can see who you are, we can talk to you and convince the public otherwise.
	There's free speech and then there's hate speech.
	And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.
	This is a hard argument for some young people to hear because they're like, it's so hateful, it's so awful, it deteriorates our country.
	No, no, no.
	Those ideas, if they spread, deteriorate our country.
	But good people will speak in opposition to them.
	And that's why I'm a big believer.
	I'm a free speech absolutist through and through.
	And I think that the utility of speech is what makes human beings different than any other type of being on the planet.
	Aristotle said we are the speaking beings, that our capacity to communicate is who we are.
	And I actually think it creates an act of citizenry when bad people are allowed to speak.
	When really bad people are given a permit, all of a sudden the entire population is like, that's disgusting.
	Let's go get our yard signs, go make them, and we're going to go speak out against them.
	They're kind of on their toes.
	They're looking out for things.
	We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
	And that's across the aisle.
	All of a sudden, if the government becomes the speech police and they start calling the shots, like, oh, the government will get rid of the bad guys for me.
	And they kind of become complacent.
	They become less active.
	They become less responsible for the country around them.
	And so I don't draw a line.
	That's me.
	Well, that's good.
	Whoever did that video.
	Did a good job.
	Pam Bondi is nothing other than Donald Trump and Drag.
	Disgusting to watch the two of them.
	She's that video of Rudy Giuliani and drag.
	I try not to think about that.
	But yeah, when I see Pambondi, I see Trump and drag because she embodies his hate of freedom, of the Constitution.
	Good for Charlie Kirk doing that.
	And it is exactly the opposite of what he believed.
	If you believe him.
	Yeah.
	And I do.
	I believe that he was sincere with that.
	I think so too.
	I don't think I would have dedicated that much time going around debating people if he wasn't.
	I need the comments scrolled, Lance, at the bottom.
	Nibiru 2029.
	The aristocracy swapped Trump out for Biden for the sole purpose of getting as many leftists to roll up their sleeves for Trump's warp speed euthanasia.
	Yeah, now they're doing the same thing again.
	They're swapping out Biden for Trump to get the right to embrace Biden's persecution of political differences that he did throughout his administration.
	1,500 people at J6.
	And Nibiru also says, no one in a position will ever go to jail.
	That only happens in the scripted movies and TV series.
	We don't see that, do we?
	B.L. Houghton, MAGA is still defending Trump.
	They won't ever wake up.
	I think it's important to keep trying.
	I see a lot of people post things like, you know, don't give in to divide and conquer.
	Don't give in to divide and conquer.
	And they'll continually try to reach out to the left.
	They'll continually try to reach out to the left.
	But they'll sit there and they're like, oh, these MAGA idiots, these MAGA dummies, they did this.
	And it's true.
	MAGA, yeah, they did stupid stuff.
	They vote for dumb things.
	But if you're going to extend that much grace to the left, you've got to extend that much grace to these people as well.
	I don't extend grace to either side.
	I think they've had their shot.
	They've come to their senses.
	And I think that they're so hardened in their minds that they're never going to get it.
	They don't have any principles.
	Probably not, but I try to keep hope.
	I try to continue to hope that these people can be reached and that they're worth trying to reach.
	Maverick.
	The right and the left cannot be reached.
	The problem is, how do we keep them away from ourselves?
	Because they're going to go to war with each other.
	We're going to be the ones in the middle being shot at.
	They're both going to come after us.
	Maverick Pilgrim, thank you very much.
	That's very kind of you.
	Regarding Freeze Peach, Free Speech.
	And so the Kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin.
	The line of kings failed.
	The white trees withered.
	And the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men.
	Yes.
	Gondolf J.R.R. Tolkien.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	We've got SoloCat 1980.
	Tyrants will always seek to capitalize on tragic events to further their tyranny.
	Trump dishonors Charlie by taking advantage of his death.
	Well, Trump dishonors a lot of things.
	Dishonors many things.
	Dishonors his wives, the people that he just smothered with flattery when he put them in his administration.
	Then he chases them down the road after he kicks them out.
	He's doing the same thing to the Constitution.
	He's all about the Constitution and America.
	And now he is trashing America and the Constitution like you would an ex-wife.
	Bale Houghton says, where is the bullet?
	Yeah, no news on that yet.
	No, of course, who knows if we'll ever see anything about it.
	Fonzie Bear, they already paved over the crime scene for Kirk cognitive dissonance at its apex.
	Yeah, we said that the other day.
	I said that they were paving it.
	I'm not sure if that's true.
	Some people were reporting that they were paving it, and there were pictures of them tearing up the grass there.
	Others were saying that they were just tearing up the grass to put down fresh sod because the other grass had blood on it, which I guess they couldn't wash off of grass for some reason.
	But as the next comment is saying, other people are saying that they're going to be putting up a monument there.
	But whether they're just renovating the grass or putting up a monument, it is very strange that they couldn't wait even a week before tearing up a crime scene like that when they haven't even found the bullet, especially when the shooter was supposed to have been shooting from an elevated position.
	The bullet would be in the ground that they just scooped up and carried away.
	That's right.
	Yeah, that's what they have yellow tape for.
	It is suspicious, I think.
	SA Miller 123, the bullet was in the ground, but they've already started renovating the area, moving sod and concrete to make a memorial, it figures.
	By tyrant 1776.
	Leftist voters want an authoritarian dictator to punish those on the right, and voters on the right want an authoritarian dictator to punish those on the left.
	Government plan working swimmingly.
	Yeah.
	Well, personally, be a little divisive here.
	I do think if you're mutilating children and doing that sort of thing, you know, if you're directly involved in the process.
	Yeah, punishment.
	We're coming for you.
	Absolutely.
	If you're one of these doctors that provides these services, we're stripping your license and you're getting shipped to Guantanamo Bay for the rest of your life.
	But that's just me.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, you come after that particular thing.
	Yeah, that's a that to me.
	That's a crime.
	That's specifically provable as an obvious crime.
	You're mutilating a child, not these nebulous terms like hate speech.
	What?
	Wrong think.
	All these.
	Yeah.
	No, you mutilated a child.
	So, you know.
	I wish they would call it wrong think, but that maybe I think even if they did that, it wouldn't wake up MAGA or the left.
	You're right.
	It is wrong think.
	Berringer 7-7.
	No, Kimmel was done.
	Ratings are crap.
	This is all made up.
	Look, his ratings probably were garbage, but these people keep this on the air for a long time.
	So it's possible that this is some political stunt where they get to go, oh, look, the FCC, this, the FCC that.
	But the truth is the FCC did come in and lean on them.
	And the FCC did get their way.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't think it was a coincidence that they just happened to get rid of him right when they started having the FCC lean on them.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	And when we come back, we're going to talk about Alan Dershwitz even.
	Other people have weighed in on this.
	Many different legal authorities have weighed in on Trump's garbage professional wrestling lawsuit against the New York Times for $15 billion.
	And we'll talk about just how absurd that is according to lawyers.
	You won't believe some of the stuff that's in the lawsuit.
	It truly is amazing.
	We'll be right back.
	Listening to The David Knight Show.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	Nutshell.
	Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Well, Joe Lancaster at Reason has an article.
	Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times is his craziest one yet.
	And he's talked to some lawyers and he's got some quotes from the lawsuit that you will not believe.
	He says the complaint suggests that the Times showed actual malice, quote unquote, because its reporters hated him.
	But that's not the way it works.
	Malice is a very specific term under law, and it's extremely difficult to prove.
	Trump is no stranger to filing defamation lawsuits, and to that point, Travis, there is a much higher standard for public figures, especially for political public figures.
	He's no stranger to filing defamation lawsuits against media companies with varying degrees of merit.
	Again, they've not had any merit at all, but he's been able to shake down CBS and Paramount because they were going to deny or at least hold up a merger that the owner who contracted cancer wanted to make this happen very quickly.
	This week he added to that list, filing a lawsuit that is more ridiculous, more meritless than any of the others so far.
	He says, rather than straightforwardly listing the facts of the case, the complaint spends dozens of pages histrionically detailing how great Trump is and how terrible the New York Times is.
	It reads less like a formal legal document than one of Trump's social media posts, calling the Times a, quote, full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat Party, saying that it engaged in, quote, wrong and partisan criticism.
	In its very first statements of fact, the lawsuit brags that Trump, quote, won the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Lala Harris, he didn't say Lala, in historic fashion, emerging victorious in both the Electoral College and the popular vote, and securing a resounding mandate from the American people, which it calls the greatest personal and political achievement in American history.
	If narcissism were a crime, Trump would have a life sentence.
	I think he does have a life sentence.
	I think it's been narcissism his entire life.
	Much of the complaint reads this way, like a breathless hagiography that any attorney should be embarrassed to file.
	Even Dershowitz won't jump in on this.
	But here's the thing, folks.
	It just shows how it isn't embarrassing for an attorney to file something like this, but they will humiliate and embarrass themselves in the same way that Pam Bondi did over both the Epstein files as well as her movements against wrong think and wrong speak.
	These people want to suck up to Trump, and it's like he sat there and dictated this nonsense to them.
	Sounds just like him.
	To the allegation that the apprentice saved him irrelevance, Trump said it was the other way around.
	So evidently that's what the New York Times said.
	The apprentice saved him.
	He was sinking into irrelevance.
	He said it was one of the top-rated shows of all time and a trailblazer in American television.
	His success, says Trump, was thanks solely to President Trump's charisma and unique business acumen.
	The Apprentice represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump's singular brilliance, which captured the zeitgeist of our time.
	I guess that would be money and greed as a zeitgeist of our time.
	It really sounds like a North Korean dictator, doesn't he?
	Increasingly sound like that.
	You know, it's going to be the point where perhaps in his memory, J.D. Vance, when they have a state funeral for Trump, will come after anybody who doesn't cry and weep properly, as they did in North Korea.
	So he saw everybody faking the tears.
	Do you think you get the treatment where he's laid in state in like a glass coffin, you know, just somewhere in D.C. so everyone can go make the pilgrimage and hon his glorious visage?
	Well, somebody in MAGA will probably do something.
	They'll probably make some kind of a golden statue that they can worship of him.
	This is presented as evidence that Trump is owed billions of dollars in restitution for being defamed by a newspaper, because after all, it represented his singular brilliance and captured the zeitgeist of our time, and only somebody like Trump could have done that.
	Trump arrives at this number of $15 billion, deciding that he has suffered that amount of harm through some fanciful accounting.
	The lawsuit says, the value of President Trump's one-of-a-kind, unprecedented personal brand alone is reasonably estimated to be worth over $100 billion, claims the lawsuit, incredibly.
	In May of this year, Bloomberg estimated Trump's net worth at $5.5 billion.
	They claim the lawsuit is $100 billion.
	If the lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss, Trump is extremely unlikely to prevail on the merits.
	Defamation of a public figure requires proving actual malice.
	Defendants baselessly hate President Trump in a deranged way, says a lawsuit.
	But that's as close as they get to any statement of facts.
	Points for creativity, but that's not how any of this stuff works.
	There's been a lawsuit, a Supreme Court decision called Sullivan, that defines actual malice as knowledge that statements are false or in reckless disregard of the truth.
	Even if what the reporters wrote was not true and actually hurt his reputation, Trump must prove either that they knew the information was false when they printed it or that they were so careless with the truth that they should have known better.
	But what he's basically upset about is an op-ed piece that was endorsing Lala Harris.
	You're entitled in America to have an opinion.
	That is, of course, unless your opinion is one that Donald Trump doesn't like.
	Since March of 2024, Trump has sued ABC and CBS, extracting $15 million and $16 million settlements respectively, for similarly questionable allegations.
	More recently, he sued the Wall Street Journal for reporting on the existence of a birthday card he reportedly wrote in the early 2000s to Jeffrey Epstein.
	The financier later convicted of sex trafficking young girls.
	Trump called it a fake story and implied that the note did not exist.
	Now it has been released, obtained through a subpoena of the Epstein estate.
	So that case is ongoing, but that is going to be one that is going to also crash and burn.
	Also, I don't mean to break in, but Ephesians 6.12 in chat asks, have you guys seen the recently erected 10-foot golden Trump statue holding a Bitcoin in D.C.?
	I just looked it up, and it's real.
	It's real.
	Oh, boy.
	So it already exists.
	Yeah, well, you know, they carried around that statue of him in shorts.
	You know, CPAC or something.
	We had a lot of fun with that.
	Well.
	Yet this latest lawsuit is somehow Trump's craziest one yet.
	Over 85 pages long, the complaint makes little effort to quantify any actual harm to Trump's reputation.
	Instead, simply claiming that he is the greatest man to ever walk the earth.
	That any information to the contrary is not just inaccurate, but malicious.
	You either worship me or I'm going to come after you because that's, you know, you bow down.
	It's the same attitude that we see from these North Korean dictators because that's his position.
	And that's what gets him so, that's why he flips out on the people and the wives that he chose originally.
	If there is some dispute, they don't worship him sufficiently, then it is treasonous to him.
	So the complaint is frivolous on its face, and I hope that they hit him with a big slap lawsuit.
	Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University.
	How about that?
	They got a First Amendment Institute named after somebody down the road from us.
	But anyway, the complaint is full of bluster, they said, but short on any allegations of specific false statements of fact that would meet the rigorous standards for defamation claims brought by public figures.
	Like Trump's numerous past and ongoing lawsuits, the complaint reads like a childish gripe about people being mean to him that arguably doesn't even raise barely plausible claims, let alone meet the exceedingly high bar the First Amendment erects to the defamation claims for public figures like Trump.
	That was the lead counsel for technical policy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
	That's fire.
	This lawsuit, he said, is yet another extortion racket, wrapped in perverse anti-democratic commodification of votes and political support as a form of damages.
	And that's what concerns me so much about the caving of CBS and ABC.
	Those lawsuits had absolutely no merit.
	And in the case of CBS, the pressure was using the regulatory agency to deny their merger.
	Winning isn't the point.
	The process is the punishment.
	This humiliating settlement from CBS starkly illustrates how the powers of the presidency can be abused to punish news outlets for constitutionally protected speech, says Jacob Sullivan.
	It does not bode well for freedom of the press under a president who has no compunction about weaponizing the government against journalists who irk him.
	Alan Dershowitz, meanwhile, who's friendly, very friendly to Trump, explains why Trump's media lawsuits are set up to fail in U.S. courts.
	And this is the thing, you know, when you look at a lot of the lawfare that was set up against him, and I said this when it was happening, there were quite a few people who were going to run, who began to run against Trump, not just DeSantis, but several of them.
	And they couldn't get any traction at all because of the frivolous lawfare that was run against Trump by the Democrats.
	And I said they're doing this deliberately to make a hero out of him and to make sure that he doesn't have to defend his record.
	He doesn't have to debate any of these Republican candidates.
	And that's exactly the way that it worked.
	I think they knew that exactly.
	And I think that Trump is doing something like that with these lawsuits.
	Even Dersh says it.
	Dershowitz warned on Newsmax that Trump's ongoing defamation lawsuits against major media outlets are unlikely to succeed under current U.S. legal standards.
	He said in the U.S., he would have to prove not only that there were factual misstatements and not opinion.
	And remember, it was an op-ed piece that he has so talked about.
	The fact they put their op-ed piece on the front page, but they labeled it as an opinion piece.
	But it would actually not be opinion, but factual misstatements, and that they were made with malice.
	That is, that they were made with reckless disregard for the truth, said Dershowitz.
	While he personally believes a malice standard may be too restrictive, Dershowitz says that any meaningful change would require the Supreme Court to revisit and to revise its own doctrine.
	And that is difficult to get them to do it.
	It's not about anything other than professional wrestling.
	And it's about punishing them through the process.
	And he will find ways to punish them through the regulatory bureaucracy as well.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	And when we come back, we're going to take a look at some of your emails.
	We have some important emails here, some important comments from people.
	So we'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Hear news now at APSradionews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story.
	I wanted to cover some of the emails that have come in because I really do appreciate people letting us know what things are happening.
	And we've had some prayer requests and I've got some updates on those.
	And we have a new prayer request from a listener who's very distraught and understandably so.
	His mother was just diagnosed with cancer.
	He says he's gotten the B17 layotril, other things he said, but he would really like to have our prayers.
	He says, I'm a newly redeemed sinner, and my mother was diagnosed with a horrible form of breast cancer.
	I'm trying to get prayers for her, and I appreciate yours.
	And so I wanted to pass that on.
	This is R.S. in Alabama.
	He said, my father died about a year ago, and I don't know what else I can do.
	I'm asking for everyone's prayers because I know that that works.
	And I would appreciate that.
	Thank you, he said.
	He said he feels that his mother's life, that his lifestyle caused his mother's cancer.
	And I would just like to encourage him that that is not the case.
	And he says he has more to say.
	He says in a follow-up he got just this morning, he said that he's struggling with PTSD and other flaws.
	I'm just lost, and I would appreciate any thoughts that can comfort me while knowing that this is all his plan.
	Sorry to be a bother.
	Well, you're not a bother, but I don't know anyone who has shown me more than you anyway.
	He said, sorry, I'm emotional.
	I just feel broken.
	Sorry to hear that.
	But again, this is R.S. And so it asks for your prayers.
	And I would just say to R.S., you know, one of the things we look at with this is, and I asked Travis to read some of the lyrics of God Works in Mysterious Ways.
	I think it really does speak to this type of thing.
	I've been around long enough to see God answer miraculous prayers in our life.
	And I've also had things that I dearly wanted to see happen that did not happen, that God did not answer.
	Because it's not about us getting what we want, but it's about a loving God who sees the bigger picture through all of this.
	Read a little bit of that, Trevis.
	Yeah.
	So this is God moves in a mysterious way.
	Starts, God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform.
	He plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm.
	And we go to, oh, fearful saints, now courage take, new courage take.
	The clouds that you now dread are big with mercy and will break in blessings on your head.
	Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace.
	Behind a frowning providence, he hides a smiling face.
	God's purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.
	The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.
	Blind unbelief is sure to err and scanned his work in vain.
	God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
	Yes, and we see this several times.
	In John, it's not just with Lazarus, but it was also with the blind man.
	The people said, who has sinned, this man or his parents?
	To the point where you say that you feel like your lifestyle is responsible for your mother's cancer.
	And Jesus said, neither of them.
	This happened so that God could be glorified.
	How is God glorified?
	By Jesus giving the blind man sight.
	And so sometimes we have situations where the prayer gives us an opportunity to see God working in response to prayer, listening to our prayers and mercifully granting that, and we see him working in our life.
	Other times, he's got other plans there, and we can't really see where those plans are going.
	Just think of the situation with Job.
	We're given a glimpse to what was happening in reality behind the scenes, but his friends all misinterpreted it.
	They all thought that it was Job that was doing it or something, some other reason that it was happening.
	And they all got it wrong.
	But in the end, God restored everything, double, as a matter of fact.
	And so that is the thing that we always need to keep in mind when we pray to God.
	We can sometimes see him act in amazing ways.
	And certainly we have seen that type of thing in our life.
	And so we're praying for you that that will be the case with your mother.
	So we're praying for her healing.
	This was sent to me by a listener, Hayden, who says that bows and arrows has been sentenced to 27 years.
	And that's, as I said, when we had the, I used to use a transcript program to help me figure out where to do the cuts.
	Travis is doing all the cuts now.
	Which is why there's less of them now, just because everything is so busy.
	Yeah.
	But hopefully I'm trying to get more cuts back out.
	Slowly getting a system where things are a bit easier and I'm working out how to do it more efficiently.
	So more cuts should be coming daily again.
	Whenever I would say bolt and arrow, it would say bows and arrows.
	And he's been given a 27-year sentence.
	This should be a cautionary tale for Trump.
	If we're going to have a government that punishes all political opponents, he's already seen, been a warning shot with what happened when he left the first time.
	And he is now establishing a system that if they get out of power.
	So he's going to do everything he can to rig the process so the Republicans don't get out of power.
	Because the other system that he is setting up is one where those who lose the election go straight to jail, which is what our ally in Ukraine does.
	It's what Putin does in Russia.
	He says, hi, David and family.
	I notice you and your sons haven't covered the 27-year sentence of bows and arrows.
	He was also recently diagnosed with skin cancer.
	So he said your gas gauge looks a little bit low, so I look forward to helping a little bit.
	Well, I appreciate that.
	I do have a list here, and I have not updated this with the, I've not updated it in a couple of weeks because I try not to be too focused on the gas gauge or finances.
	But let me just thank some of the people who have sent us things in the mail.
	Austin M. and Ryan F. for the Love of the Road.
	Thank you so much.
	Martin K, Scott C., Steve and Donna B. Margaret Mary T. Marty T. I'm Marty.
	Aaron W. Bethany, David and Anne-Marie N., James F., Michael T., David and Debbie W. Stephanie Kay.
	Thank you all of you.
	And I really do appreciate that.
	As I said, I've not updated the gauge exactly where it is.
	This is an article from a small paper in Spring Hope, North Carolina.
	about the Cracker Barrel thing and they sent this along.
	I thought it was interesting because this person clearly didn't think that what was going on at Cracker Barrel was any big deal.
	And I think that it was actually kind of important because it showed, she thought that everybody was overreacting to this and she didn't think that anybody really cared about it.
	That was her little trip to Cracker Barrel.
	And Karen and I, I guess it was on Liberty weekend.
	They had a sale going on.
	So I was curious to see how things happened in local Cracker Barrel.
	So we went and had breakfast there.
	I think it was buy one, get one free or something like that.
	And we talked to the waitress, we talked to the person at the checkout thing.
	They all were adamantly opposed to the CEO, asked us to write and all that other kind of stuff.
	And I said, well, yeah, I'll think about it.
	But anyway, they really hated it.
	And at that point in time, she had relented from changing the logo, but was still moving forward with the story models.
	And they said, none of us want to see that happen.
	And so anyway, I thought it was kind of interesting.
	She said, the Cracker Barrel brand change is just another opportunity for those who wheel and deal in divisive politics to stoke flames.
	They said the fragile, seething anger of white men who still believe that they own America is alive and kicking.
	That is exactly the attitude of the woman who was running this thing into the ground.
	So I thought it was an interesting op-ed piece, and I totally disagree with what she had to say.
	I'm not, by the way, calling for her newspaper to be shut down because we disagree with them.
	So the AI bubble, this is from Matt, who says, I had just written, but I wanted to add thoughts on the AI bubble.
	He says, it is a solution without a problem.
	That's why when I heard about what happened in Utah, I was like, oh, a mandatory market has just opened, you know, for our safety.
	And it can be mandatory to cooperate.
	In other words, maybe what we need to do is run everybody's tweets through artificial intelligence to figure out who is saying the kinds of things that we don't want.
	And that's the real danger of AI.
	And they can mandate the companies by this.
	We know that the government is going to be buying this to look into things.
	But they can then tell the companies, you have to do that because the government can't directly punish us.
	It's the same principle that Trump used during the pandemic.
	The federal government had no authority to do the kinds of things that the state governments were doing in terms of mask mandates and things like that.
	He could reward them with money if they did what he wanted to do, but he couldn't directly run that through.
	That's why when they set this whole thing up around the time of 9-11, again, the first simulation of doing exactly what they did two months before 9-11, the anthrax false flag attack one week later, and then two months after that, they ran through, pushed through legislation that was model legislation telling the states what laws they needed to pass so that when they're ready to pull the trigger in 2020, the laws were already in place, and Trump just had to reward them financially to get them to do it.
	They always have a way that they can avoid any direct responsibility for things that they are explicitly prohibited from doing.
	They will do it through the state government.
	They'll do it through corporations or whatever.
	So the state is going to be completely in.
	The federal government is going to be completely in on buying AI to surveil us and to report on what we're all about to them.
	But now with this, they can mandate that all of the media companies get this so they can run their own reports.
	And that way, the censorship, quote-unquote, won't be coming from the government.
	It'll be coming from the AI and the corporations.
	And they can claim plausible deniability, even though we know that the AI is going to be rigged by them and they will be mandating that people have it.
	That's an interesting thought, and I do agree with that, Matt.
	So this is from Will.
	He says, in my view, free speech is dying and or already dead.
	A society with no soul, no moral compass, and a youth that has been slowly destroyed over the past few decades.
	Free speech is a wonderful thing if it is used constructively by parties with an intellectual capacity to disagree without the injection of uncontrollable emotion based on lack of knowledge, radical tribalism, foul language, and threats.
	The main contributors to this climate of dysfunction and hate are academia, social media, mainstream media.
	Social media allows people to say anything with no fear as they are hiding behind a keyboard, far removed from personal eye-to-eye debate.
	They are cowards, they're keyboard warriors.
	Academia teaches hate and division, nothing intellectual churning out brainwashed zombies who, after four years of indoctrination or more, can't find a job related to their education.
	The hate taught in the universities is combined with this and creates angry, entitled individuals with a short fuse.
	Mainstream media only compounds this by twisting events and politics by misrepresenting news items.
	They actually encourage violence along with well-known politicians.
	Riots, looting, murder, celebrating, and politicizing events to the masses has perverted people's views and their sense of what is right or wrong.
	Summing up, I hate to say this, but I do not believe at this point that our society can handle free speech.
	With no moral compass, no God, free speech will be used as an excuse for a plethora of insane behavior.
	What the solution is, I don't know.
	God has been so far removed from our daily life and only he has the capacity to heal our world.
	The problem is that you have to want to be healed.
	As with everything, the few destroy things that affect the many.
	Well, I think that I think, Will, that it was John Adams would agree with you.
	I think he was the one who said that our system of government only works for a moral people.
	And they have done everything to make sure that we don't have a moral society in our culture.
	And so when you have a society where there is absolutely no morality, no ethics, and it is always pushed against by the institutions that are part of that society, you're not going to be able to have the nice things that we would like to have, like free speech and liberty.
	It's all going to be about keeping me safe from the mob that is out there.
	I think that is where we are today.
	Well, before we take a break, I mentioned yesterday that Trump's in the UK, and we showed some clips of them celebrating him, treating him as king for a day.
	And on Channel 4 in the UK, they announced a night of TV dedicated to Trump untruths.
	To mark the historic second state visit to the UK of the American President, Channel 4 is rolling out an altogether different kind of welcome.
	With an unflinching night of programming that puts the spotlight on his untruths and his falsehoods, they will broadcast Trump versus the Truth, an unbroken catalog of over 100 lies, distortions, and inaccuracies uttered or written by the President since taking office in January.
	So I guess they had to limit it to just this second term here.
	Running over several hours, these untruth statements will be punctuated by text-based fact checks offering viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches, and soundbites.
	The theme will run throughout the day, with a Trump impersonator taking over from Channel 4 continuity announcers in order to deliver false information, from misleading program synopsis to exaggerated runtimes, as a sobering reminder of what can happen when once trusted sources of truth cannot be relied upon.
	Also in the schedule will be the second episode of the Donald Trump Show, a landmark three-part documentary from multi-award-winning filmmaker 72 Films.
	The unique series uses news footage from TV podcasters, from TV podcasts and social media to tell the story of the last nine months of the presidency as an unfolding soap opera.
	It's been an unfolding soap opera, hasn't it?
	Ian Katz, the chief content officer at Channel 4, said Trump loves making history.
	So on Wednesday, Channel 4 will do just that.
	We will show what we believe to be the longest uninrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods, and distortions ever broadcast on television.
	We hope it will remind viewers how disorienting and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful man on earth shows little regard for the truth.
	And if Trump cares to watch along after the state banquet, he may even clear up a few misconceptions.
	So they challenged him.
	That was on Wednesday nights.
	That's already happened.
	I can imagine there's going to be some broken TVs and his suite if he turns on the television set to watch that.
	Thing is, it's probably going to be the same nonsense criticisms that the left has always been throwing at him and inoculating him against the real criticisms.
	That's right.
	Just like the nonsense impeachment charges and legal charges against him.
	And that's unfortunately what happens because the people who are doing it usually do it from a perspective of being deranged and just their hatred of the man, which at this point I'm starting to see their point.
	I mean, there's plenty of stuff to criticize him about, but I somehow doubt they're going to be talking about Operation Warp Speed.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Well, they're focusing on his second term.
	It sounds like it's going to be insufferable.
	Well, actually, here's the facts of the case type stuff about.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It may not be very entertaining, except for the Trump impersonator this there.
	Well, in Japan, they have a political party that is going to install an AI leader.
	That's how we can get around all this stuff, right?
	We can have AI because we know that AI will never lie to us, right?
	It will always tell you the truth.
	It'll always tell you what you want to hear, is really that.
	So they have a new political party there, said they're going to install AI as their leader after its Maverick founder quit following a disastrous showing in recent elections.
	It was called the Path to Rebirth Party.
	That's kind of ironic considering that their birth rates are crashing in Japan probably more than any other country.
	They do need rebirth, not just from a cultural and moral and ethical standpoint, but spiritual standpoint.
	They need it literally in terms of births.
	Yeah, I don't think the AI is going to help with that.
	But the real question here that they should be asking is who is programming the AI?
	That's who they're actually electing.
	That's the person that needs to be up there doing the debates.
	This is the guy that's thinking for it.
	The one who's doing the labeling.
	Yeah, the person that they're paying $15 an hour.
	Launched in January by a former mayor of a small city in western Japan.
	It doesn't have a policy platform.
	Well, that sounds like exactly like all the political parties that we've got.
	None of them, even if they have a party platform, pay any attention to it.
	Maybe they're waiting for AI to come up with a platform for them.
	Its members are free to sell their own agenda.
	He unexpectedly, however, came second in the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
	I guess Tokyo doesn't have a mayor.
	It's got a governor, I guess.
	Thanks to a successful online campaign.
	But then he quit the party when it failed to pick up any seats in the upper house elections.
	The new leader will be AI, said a doctoral student of AI research who described himself as an assistant to the new leader.
	He's an assistant to the AI.
	Details about the AI are yet to be decided, including when and how it will be implemented.
	So they don't even know which chatbot they're going to use yet, I guess.
	The AI will not dictate political activities of party members, but will focus on decisions such as distribution of resources among members, for example, who recently won a party contest.
	So the guy who recently won the contest to succeed the founder.
	The Path to Rebirth has struggled to win seats.
	All of its 42 candidates lost in June.
	All of its 10 candidates who ran for the upper house also lost.
	So I don't think they're going to gain much support with the AI stuff.
	As I pointed out.
	I'm just thinking of that story where it's the guy that gave the AI control of his database and it deleted everything and he asked about it.
	You're right.
	I did delete it.
	Sorry, I did destroy everything.
	This is catastrophic.
	My bad.
	I think that's what we're going to get from Trump.
	It's like, oh, I'm sorry, I deleted the entire Constitution.
	Yes.
	It's catastrophic.
	Let's give these machines control of the nuclear launch codes.
	Oops, I started World War III.
	This is catastrophic.
	Well, we're going to continue to see this kind of bring me the man, I'll find the crime.
	This was done, you know, AI was used by Pulte at HUD in order to find the information about Lisa Cook, the Fed governor that Trump wanted to get rid of.
	And now we find that Scott Besant reportedly made two homes his primary residence.
	You can only have one primary.
	Same thing that Trump wants to fire Lisa Cook over.
	In 2007, he indicated that homes that he owned in both Massachusetts and New York were both his primary residence, according to mortgage records.
	Bloomberg, pointing to mortgage experts, said there's no sign of wrongdoing on Besant's part.
	Oh, really?
	And that Bank of America, the lender he was working with, did not expect him to use both homes as his primary residence.
	But the thing is that they already went after Trump.
	misrepresented his financial statements, even though he paid the loans and even though the bank was not upset about that, they still went after him.
	I think it's really going to undermine his case to get Lisa Cook fired.
	He's going before the Supreme Court to ask them to allow him to fire him.
	She filed a lawsuit and that judge put a restraining order from Trump doing anything, leaving her in the Federal Reserve.
	So he wants to get the Supreme Court to allow him to immediately fire her.
	I think it's going to be difficult to argue that she should be gone when his Secretary of the Treasury has done exactly the same thing.
	Bank of America lent Besant $21 million to fund deals for a home in Bedford Hills, New York, and a beach house in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
	The report comes as Trump has moved to fire Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud.
	She had documents in 2021 indicating that her home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and also an Atlanta property were both her primary residences.
	So Cook's firing has been blocked by two courts in the last month.
	And on Monday, an appeals court in Washington, D.C. upheld a temporary halt on Trump's firing of Cook over the claims of mortgage fraud.
	I looked at this and I thought, I think that is fraudulent, and I think that they should be able to get rid of her.
	But now that this is there with Besant, if he's going to tolerate that from Besant again, I think he should fire Besant as well.
	I'd be happy to see that guy go.
	A U.S. Muslim mayor, by the way, wants a U.S. citizen to go.
	He said, you are not welcome here.
	Move away.
	And of course, this is in Dearborn, Michigan, which has really been taken over by Muslims.
	The mayor, Abdullah Hamoud, scolded the resident, Ted Barham, a Christian.
	He said, although you live here, you are not welcome here.
	And this fight came because Barham had objected to renaming an intersection in Dearborn after Osama Siblani, Arab American news publisher, who was promoted, who has promoted both Hezbollah and Hamas.
	And so Hamoud, the mayor, issued a dangerous suggestion for Barham to not see the signs.
	He said, the best suggestion I have for you is don't drive on Warren Avenue or close your eyes while you're doing it.
	His name is up there, and I spoke at a ceremony celebrating it because he's done a lot for his community.
	He then turned to a personal attack on the resident, accusing Barham of being, quote, a bigot, and you are a racist, and you are an Islamophobe.
	There we hear these same things over and over again.
	Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here.
	And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city.
	Barham had explained that Siblani is a promoter of Hezbollah and Hamas.
	He talks about how the blood of martyrs irrigates the land of Palestine.
	He says, whether we're in Michigan, whether we're in Yemen, believe me, everyone should fight with his means.
	They will fight with stones.
	Others will fight with guns.
	Others will fight with planes, drones, and rockets.
	Barham compared the signs to naming a road Hezbollah Street or Hamas Street.
	And he said honoring Siblani was provocative.
	But the reality is that the Muslims have taken over Dearborn.
	A couple of weeks ago, I showed the patch that was on the new patch that was designed for the Dearborn Police, which had their name in Arabic on it.
	So that is, they've got a mayor there.
	They've got a police department that's putting their Arabic on their patches.
	We have the video of the mayor on the board.
	Okay, go ahead and play that.
	Yeah.
	I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in Beirut and including many Americans.
	So I just feel it's quite inappropriate.
	You're an Islamophobe.
	And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here.
	And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence?
	Coexistence.
	There we go.
	Muslims known for their belief in the United States, by the way.
	That's right.
	Well, Zelensky has no intention of coexisting with Moscow.
	The Ukrainian leader wants to fight to the last, but he wants other people to do it, said a member of Ukrainian parliament.
	He said at yesterday's closed meeting, Zelensky, like the other individuals exempt from military service, made it clear that he intends to fight to the last.
	But of course, with others doing the fighting, we have said this from day one.
	We had military people, we played comments from them in India, which is a neutral in this particular war.
	And they said they're going to fight.
	NATO is going to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
	That's what this truly is about.
	Wait, he doesn't fight, but he dresses like he fights.
	That's right.
	He's got that green t-shirt.
	The MP said that Zelensky estimated Ukraine would need another $120 billion to fund the armed forces if the conflict drags into 2026, adding that the leader was, quote, still unclear where to get half that sum.
	And he now wants to focus on finding those funds.
	Abroad, of course, he said.
	And so, as many people have pointed out, if Trump wanted peace, he could have it immediately.
	All he needs to do is just stop funding this war.
	As a matter of fact, you had one questioner in the UK confront Trump over what's going on in Gaza.
	He said, you alone, of all the people on earth, are the one who could stop this genocide going on in Gaza.
	You alone in the whole world have the power to persuade Prime Minister Netanyahu to stop the demolition of Gaza City, to stop the starvation of Palestine, and to stop the killing of civilians.
	If not now, when will you exercise that power to tell him to stop?
	And then for both of you, all.
	But you do understand about October 7th.
	I do understand.
	It's one of the worst days in the history of humanity.
	What happened?
	I have seen the tapes.
	Babies that are four months old just jumped up to pieces.
	You've seen the tapes and I've seen the tapes.
	You're a professional, and so am I. And people forget about October 7th.
	I can't forget about it.
	So I want it to end, but I want the hostages back.
	I don't want the hostages used as human shields, which is what Hamas is threatening to do.
	But as soon as they're back, that's the moment you will tell Netanyahu.
	Well, it would certainly help, but I have to have the hostages back.
	And I don't want them back piecemeal, as I said before.
	I want them back.
	Yeah, well, again, he points to October 7th, which is a totally different issue.
	I've said over and over again, we've looked at the principles of the just war.
	A just war is when you are not attacked, but somebody else attacks you.
	And that would apply even if Netanyahu, like I believe FDR did with Japan and Pearl Harbor, even if he put things in place, stand down or whatever, to allow that to happen, to encourage it to happen, and to remove defense to allow that to happen.
	Even if that happens, you are entitled to do something about it.
	And I also said that they need to go after Hamas.
	And for the first time, you've now had Netanyahu attack Hamas and their luxury towers in Doha.
	And Trump was very upset about that.
	He said that, to quote the Wall Street Journal and sources that talked to them, multiple sources told them that Trump was screaming and saying that Netanyahu is effing me, is what he said.
	And they also said that he called Netanyahu twice.
	The first one, he called and ranted about the fact that they would attack the leaders of Hamas in Doha.
	And then he called back a second time to find out what the effect was.
	Presumably, if they thought that it was very effective, he would have been okay.
	But they told him that it wasn't very effective.
	So then he got even more angry.
	But the fact that you are targeting the Hamas leadership that's living in luxury in the UAE for the first time is very telling, I think, because they've been attacking the people living in the rubble in Gaza, the civilians and the children, for the longest time.
	And that is what is not justified.
	That has nothing to do with October 7th.
	If you're going to sustain the attack and just make it your goal to wipe out every last person in the area, and if you're going to target civilian population, then it's unjustified, regardless of how it began, even if it began with a justified thing.
	So, that is a clear misdirection.
	It's the same type of thing that he does.
	He never answers a question about his vaccine.
	He wants to talk about how everybody was going to die if he didn't do it because of the fake pandemic.
	While we're on the topic of the UK, Nigel Farage now is doing kind of an interesting thing: a politician's secret power.
	He will say anything for $95.
	Nigel Farage is winning young fans partly for selling short, sometimes inappropriate video greetings that he probably doesn't understand.
	They're saying he is a pure legend for doing this.
	He does it on cameo, and some people have done that.
	You got George Santos, the giant liar.
	He's Jewish.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I didn't say I'm Jewish.
	I said I'm Jew-ish and all the rest of it.
	Anyway, he set himself up on cameo so that you could get him to leave messages for people and put them maybe on your answering shooting.
	That's something a lot of people do nowadays.
	Just anyone of any vague notoriety or fame, they'll be like, Hey, send me your message and I'll record it.
	That's right.
	They said there's something a little discomforting about watching Rudy Giuliani perform I'm a little teapot for a few hundred dollars or George Santos filming rye videos on demand to mark birthdays or to provide pep talks.
	But British politician Nigel Farage hasn't just mastered the business of selling short video greetings on the Cameo website, he has turned it into one of the most one of the main planks in his campaign to become the UK's next prime minister.
	Here is an example of him engaging in some slang language that I certainly don't understand.
	Slanguage.
	Well, a very happy wedding day to the simple an incel no more, and she isn't even an email bride.
	Yes, you are sus, but you put the chum back into Big Chungus.
	So he sends his regards for a punk-tastic day.
	Hopefully, all those beans you're eating don't interrupt the day.
	That would afterward be a bit cringe.
	Amazing limits to L Beats remain as hating on you, but they replay your playlist.
	Lads, lads on tour, because we score on the floor.
	Stick to privileged productions, a guaranteed win.
	And don't forget, little Obsta Leon, you're safe in the North Sea now that we control our fishing rights once again.
	Love from Big Nige, Nutty Bars, and Fat Bay.
	Have a great day.
	You put the chung in Chungus.
	I don't even understand what that means.
	Big Chungus was a meme.
	There's this one frame where there's a fat bug's bunny in one of the cartoons, and someone just grabbed it and is like, this is Big Chungus.
	And so it's a bit of an old meme now, but it occasionally rears its head every once in a while.
	Yeah, well, anyway, they love that.
	And it is, at least it's not as cringe as watching Rudy Giuliani sing, I'm a little teapot.
	So a woman, as we're talking about crazy news, a woman has just been defrauded.
	She was convinced to send money to a stranded astronaut so that he could buy oxygen.
	He's stranded.
	Who are you going to buy the oxygen from in space?
	Those gosh darn oxygen peddlers up there got him over a barrel.
	As they say on futurism, the sky is a limit for how outrageously implausible some scams can get.
	Should have gotten some clips from Spaceballs.
	Yeah, Perry A. Perry Air.
	An elderly woman in Japan sent thousands of dollars to a trickster who claimed to be an astronaut trapped in space in danger of suffocating.
	In fairness to the lady, though, she thought they were in love.
	She's 80 years old, lives in Sapporo, the capital of Japan's northern island, and met the scammer on social media in July, describing it as a romance scam.
	That may be as implausible as the fact that he's stuck in space and messaging her for getting money.
	Anyway, she said she was doing her part.
	And to be fair, it isn't even the first time that an online scammer has claimed to represent an astronaut trapped in space.
	So just, I don't think we need to warn our audience about that.
	But you might want to warn your friends if you've got some of them who are part of MAGA or the left.
	I know at least part of our audience will be like, I'm not falling for this.
	Space isn't real.
	Which, based?
	Some are using AI-powered real-time deep fakes to give themselves beautiful and realistic fake faces that hold up even during live video calls.
	Well, it is kind of interesting to see this.
	And there was one scam not too long ago.
	It was Brad Pitt, and somebody used AI to create these Brad Pitt images and to interact with the person and convince them that Brad Pitt was in the hospital, I think, and needed some money and that there was going to be potentially some romantic involvement there.
	And so it made me think of it when I was thinking about the death of Robert Redford, who always, to me, looked like he was the dad of Brad Pitt.
	They do share an extreme resemblance.
	They should have done a movie a few years ago, or shouldn't they have?
	But we were talking about that the other day.
	And Robert Redford, even though he was a radical leftist environmentalist, we wouldn't have any common ground there.
	He was in so many movies when Karen and I first started dating.
	That's kind of what we would do.
	And it was, we were talking about that with a family the other day.
	And we started dating in the spring of 74.
	It's one Robert Redford movie after the other.
	It was The Sting, The Way We Were, Jeremiah Johnson, which are always one of my favorites and everything.
	And of course, The Godfather was there as well.
	And I thought, wow, all those things came out at the same time.
	I went back and looked at the release dates.
	And they came out like Godfather came out in 72.
	We saw it in spring of 74.
	The other films I mentioned came out in the fall of 73, but they showed up in Tampa in 74.
	And that was the way they would release films back then.
	Usually what they would do is they would release it in the big markets like New York and LA, where there's a lot of film critics.
	And they would get their reviews because they were trying to make good films that people wanted to see at the time.
	I like just shoving this stuff in your face that they know that you don't want to see.
	So they get their good reviews, and then they would premiere sometimes six months or longer before it would show up in some of the ancillary markets like Tampa was at the time.
	Today, they take just the opposite approach.
	They just dump it everywhere.
	We've got to get every sucker we can the first weekend because otherwise it's done.
	Throw it against the wall before word of mouth hits and the thing comes down.
	That's really where it all is.
	So it was kind of a kind of a nostalgic thing.
	And you guys have seen the sting.
	Oh, yeah, the sting is a great movie.
	Great movie.
	It is.
	It's just in every level, it was an excellent film.
	It's one of those movies where if a sitcom goes on long enough, they will parody the sting.
	It's that iconic.
	If a TV show goes on long enough, they will do a sting episode.
	That's how it is.
	It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It was just done with so creative, George Roy Hill, who also did Butch Cassie and the Sundance Kid, which I like that movie, except for that stupid scene with the bicycle and the raindrops you falling on your head.
	That was something that they just did as an impromptu thing and threw it into the movie.
	And it was pretty obvious that they just did that impromptu and threw it into the movie.
	What if we threw this in here?
	Well, it would ruin the pacing, but yeah.
	They were just kind of goofing around in between working and playing around on the bicycle.
	And so the director saw them doing that, took pictures of it.
	He thought it was so great they just want to stick this whole movie in there.
	And I just thought that absolutely did not work.
	This is why, you know, everyone's, you need someone next to the director going, don't think so.
	You don't want a George Lucas yourself.
	That's right.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	Before we do, there is one comment that I really want to respond to.
	So Mullins 2 Cooper says they only fired him talking about Jimmy Kimball to try and make MAGA look bad.
	He was already losing money, people.
	They only got rid of him to try and make MAGA look like hypocrites.
	That's right.
	They were sitting there thinking, what can we do to make MAGA look like hypocrites?
	That's right.
	We give in to their demands.
	If we do the thing MAGA wants, they'll look like hypocrites.
	Those dastardly people at ABC and whoever owns Jimmy Kimmel.
	It was all a plot on there.
	It was 4D chess.
	Well, I tell you what, they certainly have made MAGA look bad and even giving an opportunity for people like Obama and Chucky Schumer to look good to stand there with the First Amendment.
	It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
	It's as dumb as some of these lawsuits.
	Curse ABC.
	How could they do this?
	So according to the ratings, he was number two overall and number one in the most important marketing sector, which, you know, they're saying that that's not accurate.
	Maybe that's true.
	But even if they were looking for an excuse to fire him, Trump gave them the perfect excuse.
	That's pressure from the government.
	That is a violation of the First Amendment.
	This same person has been kind of trolling in chat saying freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, but it does mean freedom from consequences from the government.
	That's right.
	There can't be government consequences for your speech.
	That's right.
	And it's unfortunate that the founders couldn't imagine that we would live in such a lawless society that they would find ways to do things without even creating a law.
	The pressure from the FCC is thuggish.
	It's un-American.
	It's unconstitutional.
	And it's just another organization that should be shut down.
	It's outlived any rational purpose that it could have.
	And it has now been thoroughly corrupted.
	And that's pretty much all the different organizations that are in Washington ought to get the same treatment.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	And when we come back, we're going to be talking to Gerald Celenti.
	So stay with us.
	TrendsJournal.com.
	Promo code Knight.
	Yes, we'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Now is Gerald Celenti, who has Trends Journal.
	As people who watch this show know, you can use the code Knight to save on the subscription there.
	I think you get 10% off.
	And it is a wonderful publication.
	It's a weekly publication.
	It's got about 300 pages.
	It's an online magazine.
	I love Trends Journal.
	And we really do appreciate Gerald coming on and talking with us.
	And this is kind of a risky time to be giving your opinion about anything, isn't it, Gerald?
	The Fourth Amendment, freedom of speech.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you have no right.
	Oh, hate speech.
	How about if I hate some slimy politician that loves to kill people all over the world?
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	How about hating that?
	Oh, ex speech.
	How dare you hate the murderous presidents we had?
	Which one are you talking about?
	Oh, Obama, the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner?
	Yeah.
	Hey, folks.
	He's always folking us, folks.
	Folks, you let me, I'm going to have peace.
	Soon as he gets in there or the Afghan troop surge.
	Oh, you forgot about that.
	Everybody, we love Obama.
	I want that guy Qaddafi out of there.
	I want that guy Assad out of there.
	Why, you hateful, hateful little wop from the Bronx?
	How dare you say that about Obama?
	All right.
	Yeah, I hate it.
	And I hate the murders.
	That's why I launched OccupyPeace.com well over a decade ago.
	And as you know, you've been up here with your family and spoke at one of our rallies.
	We're having one this next Saturday, the 27th.
	27th.
	Good.
	We have Scott Ritter, Judge Napolitano, Joel Lauria, live broadcast with Roger Waters.
	Is going to do a live stream.
	Garland Nixon, Dennis Kucinich, and others, Ray McGovern, we're doing everything we can in the name of peace.
	So that's he.
	If you're for peace, you're for hate.
	And you want the proof?
	Not one little slime ball on the media.
	They don't let anybody, those little slime ball prostitutes, media whores that get paid to put out by the corporate pimps, have nobody on speaking about peace.
	Nobody.
	That's right.
	How about Bill Clinton?
	I remember this is one of the t-shirts I did, by the way, when Clinton ran for president in 1992.
	Where is Slick Willie?
	Every time he got caught with his pants down, bombs away over Baghdad.
	Oh, that slime ball that I hate for his murder.
	Oh, you remember Madeline Albright?
	Madeline Not All That Bright?
	You remember the one, Google it up, everybody, speaking to Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes?
	And Leslie Stahl asks Madeline Albright, is the death of over 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five worth the price of what Bill Clinton has done?
	And she said, yes, it's worth the price.
	Yeah.
	Didn't even have the decency.
	Yeah.
	Don't you hate that?
	Yeah.
	You better say that's, she's 100% correct.
	Yeah.
	And that's the thing.
	You know, when you look at that, a normal person would, if they had done that, they would say, we didn't kill a half a million kids.
	But she doesn't care about that.
	You know, she says, yeah, it was worth it.
	She doesn't even deny that they killed him.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Truly amazing.
	Look at the price.
	And then one after another.
	Oh, how about little Georgie Bush?
	A little spoiled daddy's boy with a pair of cojones smaller than a mothball.
	My daddy was George Bush.
	My uncle was Prisco.
	Oh, that, oh, that crime syndicate?
	Oh, yeah.
	We got to get that guy, Osama bin Laden, dead or alive.
	Yeah.
	The Afghan war, the longest war in American history.
	Oh, you forgot about that one, everybody?
	Yeah.
	Oh, and you don't hate that.
	You don't hate that.
	Oh, 90% of the people supported it.
	I forgot.
	So when you're again, again, I got blacklisted from all the media.
	I used to be about everybody, Oprah, Today Show, Good Morning America, everybody all the time.
	When I came out against the Afghan war, Bip blacklisted.
	Can't have him on.
	It's a badge of honor.
	It's a badge of honor to do that.
	Obama gave us seven wars, and of course, Trump kept them all.
	And even though the Trump supporters criticized rightfully Biden and the disaster when they pulled out of Afghanistan, Trump could have done that at any point in time, and he could have done it in an orderly way.
	But instead, they waited until basically they were thrown out, and that created the chaos, the confusion.
	But Trump is out there ready to get us involved.
	He continues to escalate this Venezuelan thing.
	I guess he's given up on going to war with Canada for the time being, right?
	You mean you're talking about the Trump.
	Oh, by the way, when Trump ran for office in 2016, I took out the trademark.
	We own the trademark presidential reality show.
	That's all it is.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	And you elect me.
	I'm going to end that Ukraine war in 24 hours.
	All right?
	All right?
	All right.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	No, no, no, I'm in.
	Before I get into office, that war is going to end.
	All right?
	Hey, how about these quotes?
	You ready?
	We want to have peace on earth all over.
	He said that on September 25th, 2024.
	We are going to have peace through strength.
	We will not have to fight.
	October 12th, 2024.
	There are two ways Iran could be handled: militarily or you make a deal.
	I would prefer to make a deal.
	You lying to SOB, you bombed them.
	You bombed them while you were lying that you were going to make a deal.
	Right?
	Only the facts.
	How about this one?
	They keep going on.
	I want immediate peace with the Ukraine war.
	January 20th is inauguration.
	We will measure our success by not only the battles we win, but also by the wars we end.
	But most importantly, you ready?
	The wars we never get into.
	My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier.
	That's why I want to be a peacemaker and a unifier.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	You said that in January.
	And how many people did you kill in Venezuela now?
	Yeah, 14.
	Illegally bombing people in a boat?
	You don't bring them to court?
	You don't have any proof.
	What do you mean we don't have any proof?
	We have proof.
	We can kill anybody we want.
	Where is the outrage?
	I know.
	I know.
	It's the same kind of stuff that we saw from Dutarte in the Philippines, who's just an authoritarian thug.
	He told the police, if you think somebody's in the drug trade, just shoot them on the street.
	And they killed 12,000 people that way.
	And of course, as Trump is bombing these ships, the Coast Guard is still interdicting ships.
	And, you know, the standard procedure that they've used in their illegal unconstitutional war on drugs is to stop the ships, to search them.
	If they find the drugs, they destroy them and they take the people to jail.
	None of that was done.
	And I've talked about this.
	I would talk about this.
	You take them to court, not to jail.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I told the audience, I said, so what if the Coast Guard should just stop these ships?
	And how would you feel about it if they stop the ships?
	They search them, they find drugs, they line the guys up on the side of the ship and just shoot them.
	Would that be good?
	Because this is not even to that level.
	As you point out, they don't just take them to jail, they take them to court and then convict them with the evidence.
	But this is extrajudicial killing.
	This is just like a dictator in the Philippines.
	Yep.
	But look at all the murders that the presidents of the United States have committed against innocent people all over the world.
	How many Iraqis did we kill?
	How many Afghans did we kill?
	Yeah.
	Oh, and by the way, remember he was going to bring down the defense budget and now it's over a trillion dollars?
	Yeah.
	Here's another one.
	You ready?
	Our objective is to immediately have a total secession of hostilities.
	All shooting has to stop.
	We need peace without delay.
	That's what he said on February 15th of this year.
	One lie after another.
	Oh, and how about the clown circus?
	That guy Kellogg?
	Oh, Kellogg Frosted Flakes?
	That little arrogant jerk?
	Hey, we're going to have that Ukraine war in 100 days after Trump gets elected, all right?
	Where's the outrage?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I guess if you have outrage, they will shut you down now because J.D. Vance, who began the administration talking about, played the clips from him, things that he said at the very beginning of the administration, when he went to Europe and lectured them about censorship.
	And now they're doing exactly the same thing in the wake of the Charlie Kirk thing.
	So let's go back beyond Charlie Kirk.
	How about all the kids that were punished in all the universities and colleges because they came out against Israeli genocide?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	So now they're making the Kirk thing a big thing.
	Yeah, that's right.
	But how about that?
	Oh, no, don't talk about that.
	Israel, again, Trump, here, you ready for this one?
	About, I want to see the Middle East get back to peace and real peace, but a peace that is going to be a lasting peace.
	He said that on March 10th of this year.
	As the United States is giving Israel all the money and weapons to keep this genocide going, killing people in front of everybody's eyes, bombing their place into total ruins, and Trump supports it 1,000%.
	Oh, Biden, by the way, did you hear the BS they put out where he said that Netanyahu is effing him?
	Yeah, we talked about that earlier.
	Yeah.
	So I didn't know maybe he's a different kind of guy.
	How did he ask them?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, meanwhile, Jared Kushner is now a newly minted billionaire based on blood money, said one tweet.
	After leaving the White House, he raised $4.6 billion from Gulf Royals to launch affinity partners.
	In 2024, he poured $250 million into Israel's Phoenix insurance at the height of the war when others pulled out.
	And that bet has now returned more than ninefold.
	So I guess when Trump says he wants peace, he spells it with an I, doesn't he?
	Yeah.
	No, it's disgusting.
	Look at the whole crypto world.
	This is the Trump that hated cryptos before.
	Hey, but now my family's into it.
	The Witcoff, the Lux, the other guy, Lutwick, the other one in there, the commerce secretary, their kids are in it.
	Hey, shut the hell up, Celenti.
	Oh, and this is why the Arabs aren't doing anything to stop the murder going on.
	Because back in 1973, They put the oil embargo on because of what Israel was doing.
	And you remember those days when oil prices quadrupled.
	And that stopped it.
	Not anymore because you just mentioned they're all in the deal together.
	The Kushners make all the deals.
	Witcoff is over in the UAE making deals.
	And that's what Trump apparently was upset about.
	You know, you got the Hamas people were attacked by Netanyahu, and it's like, come on, we're all part of this club here.
	You know, we've got to not kill each other in this club.
	So that was what he was upset about, the fact that they launched it.
	And then he was upset about the fact that they didn't do more damage.
	So, yeah, it truly is amazing when you look at what these guys are doing.
	What do you think is going to happen to gold?
	We just had the Fed cut interest rates here.
	Does it look like the fundamentals are still in place for gold?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, we went on the air.
	I think gold was, what, $3,660-something dollars an ounce.
	It's gone up 40% this year.
	Yeah.
	And you go back to the Trends Journal.
	And again, you know, we only put the facts in there.
	We said 2024 would be a golden year for gold.
	It went up 27% last year.
	And we say we'll keep right.
	No, gold's going to keep going on and on and on, higher and higher and higher.
	This isn't rocket science.
	It's very simple.
	The lower interest rates fall, the deeper the dollar falls.
	The dollar is going to be.
	It's not that gold is going up, it's that the dollar is going down significantly.
	So it becomes cheaper in other countries to buy gold because their currencies go up.
	Number two, the world, gold prices have gone up.
	Here, this is one of my books, Trend Tracking, Far Better Than Megatrends, Time Magazine.
	It came out in 1989 or 86, I forget when.
	Anyway, I write about how I started buying gold in 1978 when the Iranian conflict broke out.
	And they taught us to hate Iran without anybody, 90% of the people, 99, not knowing how the United States overthrew the democratically elected governor Mosaddegh in 53 because he said the oil belonged to the Iranian people and they had no right to do that.
	And about the Savak, the secret police that made the SS look good.
	So when the revolution began, I knew it was real.
	And I said golden oil prices would go up.
	And that's when I started buying gold.
	And that's when I became a trend forecaster and a political atheist.
	Ray Dalio just came out today, or yesterday, and said how gold prices are going to go up.
	This is the guy that founded Bridgewater.
	He's a multi-multi-billionaire.
	Gold prices are going to go up because the world is going down.
	Again, they're going to keep lowering interest rates, keep propping up the equity markets.
	You've got to look at the facts.
	There was an article here that wanted to.
	Yeah, Ray Dalio also had a very interesting quote this last week saying that the massive debt was going to basically cause our economy to have a heart attack.
	It's building up, it's clogging up everything.
	That's a good way to put it.
	That's exactly what he's saying about gold, too.
	Yeah.
	Part of the debt.
	You ready?
	The top 10% of earner households making about $250,000 a year or more account for more of the nation's total spending than ever, reaching nearly 50% in the second quarter.
	10% of America's population accounts for 50% of all the spending in the country.
	So the rest of the people were just plantation workers of slave land here.
	All the money's going to the rich, and then you've got to go back to what they're doing.
	With the Trump's tax deal in 2017, he said that when they lower the taxes to the big corporations and the very rich, all right, they're going to use it for capital improvements.
	No, it didn't.
	That was the next year, 2018, was the biggest year ever of stock buybacks.
	And according to the Tax Policy Center, the 1% got 64% of the benefits.
	We're getting nothing.
	The rich are getting richer.
	And again, you've got to go globally on this.
	Look at the riots now going on again in Indonesia, in France.
	The people are taking to the streets again because of lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime, and violence.
	This was happening in 2019.
	One of our top trends for 2020 was going to be new world disorder.
	There were protests going on.
	The Yellow vests in France, in South Africa, in Algeria, in Bolivia, in India, in Chile, all over the world, people were taking to the streets.
	Then they launched the COVID war.
	Can't go out and protest.
	Get back in your house.
	Those days are over.
	That's right.
	The rich are getting richer.
	This is off with their heads 2.0 time.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Yeah, in terms of the middle class, there's an article came out this last week talking about how in many cities, even with zero percent interest rates, even if they fell, people who are making what the median income is in that city could not qualify to get a loan at 0% for what the median price of a home was in that city.
	And so it's exactly what you're talking about.
	The concentration of wealth.
	It's a generational thing, and it's also the policies that they have there.
	Now, the Trump administration, Besant, has said that they're going to do something about the homeownership crisis coming up.
	And so I would imagine that they're going to do some kind of a declared emergency so that Trump can just dictate policy.
	What do you think they might do with that?
	They've got to try to lower interest rates and mortgage rates.
	And again, look at the data going on.
	But when they lower the rates, then the investors who are buying the bonds say that are putting out a longer-term loan like a home mortgage.
	They say, well, that lower rate is going to be inflationary.
	So we've seen several times where they have cut the Fed rate and it's wound up increasing the home mortgage rate.
	Has that happened this time or did the home rates actually go down?
	They went down a little bit and then it went up again.
	But they're going up and down.
	They're going to do everything they can to bring them down.
	They'll make up anything they want.
	Again, in 2012, I thought the markets would crash again.
	I was wrong.
	They didn't teach me about zero interest rate policies or a thing called quantitative easing in Economics 101 in graduate school.
	They'll make up anything.
	Look what happened when COVID happened.
	I thought everything would crash.
	No, no.
	We're going to bring interest rates down to zero and pump in trillions of dollars of fake money backed by nothing and print it on nothing.
	So they'll make up anything.
	They're going to do everything they can to bring down mortgage rates and prop up the markets.
	And by the way, the South is taking a hit right now.
	I know people that have places in Florida.
	I know Walwoman has been trying to sell it now.
	The price keeps going down and down and down.
	They overbuilt when the COVID war happened.
	And people overinvested.
	In the South and California, prices are going down.
	And you're looking at new home building going way down.
	This is very important.
	We're talking about the economics.
	And what people don't understand is that in trend forecasting, you make connections between different fields.
	So now we'll talk about China.
	Again, before Slick Willie brought him into the World Trade Organization, you look at China's GDP from 1970 to 2001.
	It's like that.
	Boom, they get in.
	It skyrockets.
	China's leading the world now in EV manufacturing.
	Leading the world?
	How come?
	Oh, because all the Western companies that went over there gave China all their heavy industry and high-tech technology, manufacturing, and development that they never had before.
	These are very smart people.
	They were ruling the world for a long time.
	They're not dumbbells.
	And there are 1.4 billion versus, what, 347 million in America?
	As I mentioned to you and Travis before, when Bill Clinton, before he brought him into the World Trade Organization, 10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
	Now nearly 70% of young people are totally AI and high-tech addicted.
	So here are more of the facts.
	You ready?
	It's about China, what they're doing in developing the Beijing slaps ban on NVIDIA chips in bid to bolster homegrown AI industry.
	You got it?
	They're going to lead it.
	They overinvested going back to the equity markets and where things are going.
	We've overinvested in the new companies in the AI world.
	Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age, and die.
	The real AI trend was just born three years ago.
	It's an infant.
	China is going to lead the world in AI.
	There's going to be a dot-com bust.
	Oh, and what did NVIDIA just do?
	They're investing $5 billion in Intel.
	Yeah.
	Oh, Intel that the United States is taking a 10% ownership in?
	Yeah.
	You think there's some arm twisting going on in the background for that?
	As the Italians used to have this guy called Mussolini, the mergers state and corporate power.
	Yeah.
	It's fascism.
	That's his definition.
	And that's what we have in front of our eyes.
	Corporations run everything.
	One slime ball president after another did away with the antitrust laws that allowed the bigs to take over everything.
	Again, when I was a young guy, there were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, shoe stores, drugstores, grocery stores.
	Now they're all chains.
	And Trump has really accelerated this trend, both with the lockdown of 2020 and now with the tariffs and the vacillation on the tariffs, he has locked down and destroyed small businesses left and right.
	They're screaming bloody murder.
	haven't even really seen the full effects of these tariffs yet uh and again it's still another though I mean, he's just doing a different trip.
	But what Clinton did was the worst of the worst.
	How about NAFTA?
	Yeah.
	Get your jobs out of America.
	Use that cheap labor down there in Mexico, all right?
	Yeah.
	Get them out of here.
	That's right.
	Hey, and I'll make a lot of money.
	They pay me $300,000 an hour to talk at Goldman Sachs, all right?
	Oh, I'm only worth $130 million.
	I was a little jerk from Arkansas, but now I'm worth $130 million.
	That's right.
	And both Clinton and George H.W. Bush in that 1992 election, both of them wanted NAFTA.
	It was just Ross Perot who was pushing back against that, talking about how it's going to be a great sucking sound.
	We've been hearing that sucking sound since then.
	But of course, Trump is going to fix everything, right?
	Except his U.S. MCA just shuffled things around a little bit, but it's essentially the same agreement as a NAFTA agreement, wasn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	I was talking about China before.
	Here's the article.
	China dominates EV market even in face of levies.
	China's going to be the world leader.
	Well, it's not just the technology and it's not just the slave labor that they've got, but even the energy.
	They've been given an advantage on energy with the Paris Climate Accord in 2015.
	They have the, by far and away, the cheapest source of energy that anybody has.
	And that's going to be really key with AI.
	It's going to be key with any automated factories having that edge in energy.
	They're putting out all the industrial businesses in the UK and in Germany.
	They're shutting them down because they can't afford to operate and manufacture things with the price of energy that the governments have artificially inflated.
	But again, price of energy?
	Hey, we're going to put sanctions on Russia.
	And Putin's going to pay the price.
	And that was genocide Joe Biden that said that one, didn't he?
	And we said, no, Putin's not going to pay the price.
	Russia has all of the high-tech, heavy industry technology and country, what it is, the people to be self-sufficient.
	And that's exactly, but you're talking about high energy prices.
	Well, they blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.
	They drove up the prices in Europe by the sanctions.
	That's right.
	And then the other thing about it is Europe is so damn bureaucratic.
	And again, they caused the problems themselves by getting cheap labor to go over to get the products manufactured in China.
	You go back to early 2000s.
	Again, you go back, you know, again, we're talking 25 years ago.
	You go back to 2000 to 2015.
	Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Porsche, making tons of money in China.
	Yeah.
	All the manufacturers, because China didn't have it.
	And now they've had the technology, high-tech and heavy industry.
	We don't need you anymore.
	Those sales have gone down to the toilet.
	Oh, but you know what Porsche is doing now?
	Getting into the military-industrial complex.
	Oh, yeah, that's right.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, when you can't compete in the marketplace, you can always do whatever the government wants you to do.
	And they've got, because now the German government is buying into this massive debt program to build up the military that's there.
	Trillion dollars.
	Yeah.
	A trillion dollars.
	And Germany, the third largest country, the third, you know, third largest economy in the world and the largest in Europe, has been in a recession for two years going into the third, and you're going into debt a trillion dollars?
	Yeah.
	Oh, you got to stop those Russians?
	Oh, you mean the Russians that you killed 25 million in Operation Barbarossa in World War II?
	Hey, everybody, don't you love those German military?
	You like World War II, didn't you?
	No, I like World War I better.
	We need more money for our military.
	All right?
	Kyle Mertz.
	Yeah.
	A little arrogant black rock guy.
	Yep.
	Yeah, they're pushing their economies down into the toilet so that they can then bring us to war, as you always point out.
	When everything else fails, they take us to war.
	You know, let's go back to Venezuela because Trump was telling everybody, you know, I'm not going to help with this Ukrainian thing and your plans to have World War III.
	If you continue to buy Russian oil, you're not serious about this.
	I look at that at the same time, he's making moves to go into Venezuela and thinking, is he drumming up business for himself there with that?
	And if he goes into Venezuela, the Russians are running a lot of the defense, the air defense stuff that's in Venezuela, as well as other connections they have there.
	The Chinese have got a lot of connections in Venezuela.
	Do you think that an attack in Venezuela by Trump is going to run smack dab into Russians and Chinese in Venezuela?
	I don't know, but let's go back.
	Let's go back to when Trump was president and he tried to overthrow the Maduro government back then.
	Yeah, oh, yeah.
	But that little clown, Guaido.
	Yeah.
	What did they try to do?
	Again, we wrote about it.
	Again, the Trends Journal, by the way, if you put Knight in, it costs you a grand total of about $2.50 a week, a couple of pennies a day.
	And again, we write only the facts.
	And they tried to overthrow the Venezuelan government back then.
	They launched an attack out of Colombia to Venezuela.
	They totally failed.
	You're not going to beat them.
	Again, as I say, you think we would have invaded Iraq, Libya, or Syria if their major exports were broccoli.
	It's all about oil.
	Or even if their major export was cocaine, like Colombia.
	Instead, you'll use them as a base of support to go after Venezuela, which is not sending in cocaine.
	I'm saying, you know, you're getting that book, Wars a Racket, by Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine in history at the time.
	That's right.
	And he writes about how he went on to all these continents because of the corporations to steal what the people had.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I mean, what the country had.
	And that's all this is about.
	Again, at that time, as he said, it was a United Fruit Company.
	They were doing it.
	Now they've got different products that they want to make and different things that they want to steal.
	But it's the same game.
	It absolutely is.
	It's a racket.
	Oh, here's the other thing, by the way.
	This really gets me.
	I got this picture here right here.
	This is the New York Times.
	Could you see this?
	Oh, yeah.
	King for a day, wasn't he?
	Look at these little clown boys dressed up in these stupid costumes.
	What kind of a low-life jerk could you be to put these stupid costumes on?
	What is it?
	Halloween for you every day?
	Look at this stupid crap.
	Have you seen these guys up close?
	I mean, they've got soles on their shoes that are like four inches high to make them taller.
	And then they put the tall hats on to make them imposing.
	It's really funny, actually.
	It's a clown show.
	And I'm tired of this crap.
	The royal family.
	The king, the queen, a bunch of murderers.
	If they were Italian, you'd call them a mafia.
	The sun never sets on the British Empire.
	We slaughter people all over the world.
	But, Celenti, you have to say it properly.
	You have that Bronx attitude.
	And people don't like that.
	You have to speak properly.
	What's this king crap?
	How stupid can you be to let this crime syndicate stay in control?
	Yeah.
	Oh, by the way, you ready for this?
	Yesterday, I took out the domain name, We, the People's Party.world.
	A week ago, I took out the domain name, wethepeoplesparty.us.
	These should have been gone when the internet revolution began in the early 90s, when everybody was buying up domain names.
	That shows you how we the people don't count.
	I've had it.
	We the people.
	Oh, the beginning of the Constitution?
	We the people.
	Oh, oh, that we the people?
	The preamble?
	Yeah.
	Who the hell is some jerk politician to tell me what to do?
	How about we, the people, tell you what to do?
	Go to hell, Salenti.
	You're in a different world.
	Get back in the time of today.
	You're nothing more than a little giddy from the Bronx, so shut the hell up.
	I'm the mayor of Kingston.
	I'm a little noble nobody.
	I'm a little jerk off over there who used to be the zookeeper, but don't you know my daddy is?
	I'm little Georgie Bush of Warren.
	Don't you know who my daddy is?
	I'm Eddie Cuomo.
	Don't you know who my daddy is?
	Where are the hell are the people to say?
	Enough of your crap.
	Where are all the people?
	I don't want to hear this crap from a politician to get the rest of my life.
	Well, they showed up by the millions in the UK over the weekend.
	What do you think about that?
	What's that?
	The Unite the Kingdom rally that Tommy Robinson was running.
	They showed up by the millions.
	What do you think about that?
	I mean, the press tried to downplay it as they always do.
	Only about 110,000 people.
	But it was a big pushback because of this two-tier justice system that they've set up and because they're deliberately trying to destroy manufacturing and the society that's there.
	All these people showed up to protest.
	What do you think is going to come of that?
	In Germany, they're winning too.
	Populism is going to be a big trend.
	That's why I'm telling you, if I had the money behind me from a billionaire for We the People's Party, it would happen tomorrow.
	It would happen tomorrow.
	And of course, in both cases, their response is to call the groups, the populist groups, AFD or the United Kingdom people, call them terrorists.
	And again, I think they're setting up the structure to do that in the United States as well.
	They've been doing it forever in the United States.
	That's right.
	You've got this crime syndicate that morons and imbeciles call a government.
	Hey, let's go back to Obama, the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner.
	All right, how about this one?
	When the banks, the bandits, that caused the Panic of 08, the domain name that I took out in 2007, subprime mortgages.
	Remember that one?
	Hey, you don't have a job?
	You're deep in debt?
	Don't worry about it.
	Sign over here.
	Oh, derivatives, that one.
	The Federal Reserve, when I call it a crime syndicate, $29 trillion to bail out the banks.
	$29 trillion to bail out the banks.
	It's not my language.
	That's from the Levy Institute of Bard College.
	So only the big banks.
	I mean, the small and medium-sized banks are going out by the hundreds every year, going out of business.
	Oh, and that, by the way, you could thank the other peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter.
	Oh, the guy that gave us Mujahideen that became Al Jazeera, I mean, Al-Qaeda.
	Or that, that Jimmy Carter?
	Or the Jimmy Carter with Brzezinski?
	Oh, that slime ball, may he rot in hell?
	Oh, yeah, that we got to stop those Russians in Afghanistan because they were trying to overthrow the Taliban that was destroying Afghanistan.
	You know, that one?
	That was a Jimmy Carter that first, back in the day, there was only intrastate banks.
	Bank of America was only in California.
	It was Jimmy Cana that started to allow banks to go interstate and slime ball slick Willie Clinton made it official.
	Yeah.
	Remember when we were young guys, there were banks, all local banks in every little town, every little city.
	No more.
	The bigs own everything.
	They own everything.
	So Jimmy Cana was the guy that started that.
	And again, that's the slime ball that gave us Al-Qaeda.
	He's the one that supported, what's his name?
	Osama bin Laden.
	It was Mujahideen back then.
	People had no idea about this.
	And this is a slime ball that also ramped up the Toront, the Iran war.
	We had no business getting in.
	They said to us, get out of here.
	We had enough of you Americans in here.
	We want you out.
	No, you're not going to tell us to leave the embassy.
	Who the hell are you to tell us to leave your country?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we got the Shaw.
	Shaw.
	Yeah, I remember when that happened.
	I remember when Bank of America Nations Bank, Nations Bank was in North Carolina, and that was the bank that we were using at the time.
	And I remember when they merged with Bank of America out of California, and it was a guy named Erskine Bulls, who was in North Carolina.
	He was a big Whig in the Carter White House, and he got that approved.
	And everybody said, you're going to wind up having all these bank mergers, and we're going to wind up with just about a half dozen gigantic banks, which is what happened when they all became too big to fail about 10 years later.
	I remember you used to call them irksome boils.
	Yeah, that's why I almost went back to that.
	That's why I refer to that guy as an irksome boil for the longest time because of that.
	But yeah, they just lay this.
	It's an ongoing progressive pattern.
	They lay this and they each build on the foundation of consolidation that the other one started, don't they?
	You look at the cover of this week's Trent's Journal magazine, and it said, I forgot exactly what it was, or this week's last week.
	We the people, we the people are supreme.
	No, we the politicians are in control to enrich ourselves and to enrich the rich.
	We're in power.
	That's all it is.
	Yeah.
	I got a comment here from a listener, DGA.
	Thank you.
	He says that David fascism is in full display as Larry Ellison is now the richest man in the world.
	He teamed up with Trump on day one to push this AI mRNA stuff.
	And, you know, it's just going to have custom-made poison for each and every one of us, right?
	But he is now the richest man richer than Musk.
	But I just saw that Free Speech Musk is calling for people to be jailed if they say something that the government doesn't like.
	And that just kicked off the social media platforms.
	Going back to the crime syndicate.
	A new crypto super PAC plans a $100 million effort.
	Cryptocurrency companies, including some tied to the Trump administration, are funneling $100 million into a new political effort to support pro-crypto candidates.
	Yeah.
	That's another one.
	It's a massive rack.
	Digital assets can save the U.S. dollar, says Eric Trump, this Financial Times, today.
	Eric Trump has said growing demand for cryptocurrencies could save the U.S. dollar.
	I mean, Kevin, if you believe this, yeah, he said that he thinks that the stablecoin thing is going to basically shut down all the small banks.
	And he's right.
	I think it will.
	You know, that's CBDC in terms of its functionality.
	And that was one of the things that we're always warning about CBDC.
	It was going to consolidate all capital formation and control into the people who are running the stablecoin stuff.
	And who's running that?
	It's Lutnik, who is his commerce secretary.
	It's just like when he had the Rothschild banker, Wilbur Ross, in his first term.
	Now he's got Lutnik in there, and Lutnik is Mr. Stablecoin.
	I think it's also a way.
	The other guy, Witkoff, I forget.
	Let me ask you this.
	One second before you keep going.
	Because we talked about this before, here's the proof.
	This is from the New York Times.
	Two big deals intertwine.
	Latest chips for UAE, crypto gains for Trump.
	This summer, Steve Witcoff, President Trump's Middle East envoy, paid a visit, and it goes on and on to say how they're doing the deals with the UAE, the Trump family, the Witcoffs, the Lutniks, on and on and on.
	It's a crime syndicate in front of everybody's eyes.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And that was where, by the way, it was in the UAE, if I'm not mistaken, where Eric Trump made that statement.
	It was at a crypto conference where he made the statement that the banks are going to be gone in 10 years.
	And of course, if the local banks are gone, how do we process cash?
	Again, everything's going to go digital.
	They're going to make up a new coin, and we just got rid of our debt level.
	Because this coin's worth a thousand times more than a dollar or some crap they're going to make on it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And no, it's disgusting.
	It's disgusting.
	And again, you're not, it's been going on all our lifetimes.
	Well, you know, when you talk about the mafia tactics, organized crime tactics that Trump is using, we see that with the FCC guy, saying, well, we can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way.
	And you look at the lawsuits that Trump has filed against CBS because Redstone, the heiress, wanted to sell Paramount, and they could slow that down or make it not happen.
	And so they basically shook them down.
	And the thing I was talking about earlier, Gerald, was the fact that Trump used the government to shake them down.
	And he was the one who had a lawsuit against them.
	They settled for $15 or $16 million.
	And then their troubles went away.
	So basically, he was using the government to shake down this corporation and profiting $15, $16 million.
	It's the most open corruption I've seen.
	Besides the First Amendment issues, it's just in-your-face corruption, isn't it?
	And how about this guy?
	What's this guy?
	Ellison, you talked about?
	Oh, yeah, Larry Ellison, yeah.
	Didn't they just buy Paramount?
	His son did, yeah.
	His son did.
	His son did, yeah.
	His son did.
	Yeah.
	And what it is, what is he suing the New York Times for like $13 billion or something?
	Who Trump?
	Yeah, $15 billion, yeah.
	There was an interesting article on Reason I talked about earlier, Gerald, and they went through the lawsuit, and they said, this reads like a hagiography, not like a lawsuit.
	Any lawyer would be ashamed to file this.
	And of course, a hagiography is a biography of somebody that just makes them into a saint, right?
	And it's just boasting page after page after page about how Trump is the greatest man who ever lived.
	And anybody who doesn't acknowledge that is malicious.
	That's his proof.
	Again, I told you, I had lunch with his brother Robert back in 2017.
	Yeah.
	And I had a restaurant over here with SAIC, which is across the river.
	And his brother Robert told me that when the father died, he left him the family, I think the father died in 2002.
	Left the family over a half a billion dollars worth of real estate.
	Trump's nothing more than a spoiled daddy's boy.
	Yeah.
	Well, that was one of the things that figured out.
	I went off to these other guys.
	George Collins said it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	Yeah.
	One guy after another.
	I mentioned little Andy Cuomo, my daddy was Mario, little George E. Bush, you know, that slime ballov you got over there in the gruesome newsome over there.
	Oh yeah, he comes from the, yeah, Pelosi.
	It's all everybody, you know my daddy was?
	I mean, it's one after another.
	Yeah.
	That was one of the things, one of the reasons why he also included Penguin Books in this lawsuit, because they had published a book talking about how Trump had inherited so much money and then blew it with all these failed casinos.
	That really got under his skin.
	But going back to the Ellison guy, he's got so much money, his son even, that they're saying this is going to be a new infusion of cash into the entertainment industry that's going to be as big or bigger than what Netflix did, just because of this guy's personal fortune.
	Again, it's disgusting.
	Yeah, the concentration of wealth.
	Yeah, I mean, when Eisenhower was president, the tax rate for people like Ellison was 90%.
	Now they pay nothing.
	Yeah.
	What's his name?
	Buffett Bragg did.
	His secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does.
	Yeah.
	Remember that?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Yeah, whenever they raise the taxes, it doesn't go on the rich.
	It goes on everybody else.
	And that's what's going to happen, I think, with the tariffs as well.
	I mean, the tariffs really haven't kicked in yet.
	There's a lot of people who have long-term contracts of two or three different months.
	So, you know, those contracts, the tariff costs have not shown up yet.
	I've seen one article after the other in the Trump press bragging about the fact that, A, we're going to make so much money out of this that it's going to pay off the debt or it's going to do these wonderful things.
	They're going to have a kickback to middle-class Americans because of tariffs.
	No, they try to deny that it's going to have any effect on prices, but of course that's just nonsense.
	One of the key things, I think, is the fact that Trump put an extra tax on any ships that come to port that are made in China.
	And it's not like we have a shipbuilding industry that's going to take up the gap with that.
	And so that affects exports as well as imports.
	If you have a Chinese ship, he's going to hit it with a million dollar, multi-million dollar fee for coming to port if the ship was made in China, regardless of who owns it.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Again, but he changes his mind on everything every day.
	Again, look what he did to Brazil because Bolsonaro.
	Yeah.
	50% tariff on them.
	So coffee prices have gone way up and a lot of other stuff.
	That's none of my business.
	That's right.
	I'm an American.
	Again, I read at the rallies.
	I often read George Washington's farewell address.
	He tells American people, he says, this stuff in Europe and Asia has been going on for centuries.
	We're not going to fix it.
	Nobody.
	It's not our business.
	Our business is to protect America.
	Yes.
	And again, I want to hear these jerks that say, oh, you're an isolationist.
	Hey, got some.
	You want to support the Ukraine war?
	Put on your costume, go over there and fight.
	Send your wife, your kids, your money, your transgenders, go over there or shut your mouth.
	Well, that's right.
	I think it was Mark Cuban who was pushing that.
	And somebody called him out and said, well, why don't you send your money over there, right?
	He's got family that is part Ukrainian or something.
	So, you know, instead of going to fight, why don't you just send some money over there instead of having the taxpayers do it?
	But of course, he doesn't want to talk about that.
	None of them do.
	Oh, look at the God.
	Look what this is disgusting what's going on.
	The slaughter of the Palestinian people in front of everybody's eyes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it is.
	Outright slaughter in front of everybody's eyes.
	Yeah.
	Why, you anti-Semite, how dare you say that?
	Yeah, I read an op-ed piece.
	Actually, it wasn't op-ed.
	It was a report where they had talked to some Israeli snipers who were talking about how they had been told to execute people when they came up to get food.
	Yeah, oh, yeah.
	That was published by Heretz, I think it was, published that.
	Interview.
	I got to write about this stuff every day.
	I'm so heartbroken.
	I'm so heartbroken.
	You have no idea.
	Sure, I like the articles.
	I've got to underline all the salient points of the articles.
	What's this one?
	Trump fumes about Netanyahu but gives him free reign.
	Fumes.
	Yeah, again, he's effing me.
	He's ething me.
	Yeah, so I don't know.
	I didn't know Trump liked it up the, you know what?
	He's running on fumes.
	Trump is always running on fumes.
	That's one of his secret powers.
	It's just so disgusting.
	Israel presses Gaza incursion as death toll surpasses 65,000.
	65,000 people they officially killed.
	According to Lancet, it's almost over 200,000.
	That's right.
	In front of everybody's eyes.
	Yes.
	And again, you go back to what Trump said, that Israel controls the Congress.
	You know, we just had Mike Johnson do a conference and several people that were there, of course, pretty much every American Jewish organization, Zionist organization, was in this conference except for the ADL, but saying they were going to work bipartisan to do whatever these people want to do.
	I mean, they're openly prostituting themselves to a foreign country, working against our interest.
	Oh, and I'm tired of hearing his fairy tales from these people.
	You know, God gave him the way.
	I don't want to hear this baloney.
	He says, God got locked you and never talked to anybody else before or after.
	I got to believe this stuff.
	You know, I don't want to hear it.
	And the Zionism is nothing more than a political movement created by Theodor Herzl in 1890.
	It's a total political movement.
	a guy from hungary well again you look at what's what's net yahoo's real name Milikowski?
	Oh, Semites?
	No, Semites are from the Mesopotamia region.
	The people running Israel are all Eastern Europeans.
	Yeah.
	From Ben-Gurion.
	Oh, not Ben-Gurion, Green.
	I forgot.
	Yeah.
	We'll make up any name we want.
	We'll make up any fairy tale.
	And you've got to swallow my crap.
	Well, Mike Johnson is telling them that he is going to screen out, and that's the way the political parties work.
	That's why they keep two parties there and why they close ballot access.
	He's going to screen out any candidates that he believes are going to be isolationists.
	And, of course, that means anybody that doesn't want to get involved in wars.
	And, you know, we are canceling and firing people left and right.
	We had one of the stories, they had a guy who was a manager at a store, and because his wife went on this tirade about Charlie Kirk and how much she hated him after he was murdered, the man lost his job.
	He didn't say anything on social media.
	I mean, it's become an absolute witch hunt about this kind of stuff.
	But go back to this guy.
	What's his name you just mentioned, Mike Johnson?
	Johnson.
	Isolationist?
	Hype?
	Let that little boy go fight.
	Could you imagine that little boy of nothing getting into a can you imagine him fighting?
	Yeah.
	Can you imagine that little boy of nothing fighting?
	No way.
	Anybody that supports war overseas, every one of you slime ball politicians, you go over there and fight or shut your mouth.
	Yeah, Mike Johnson is kind of like Captain America before he got the special juice serum.
	Name enough juice to juice that can.
	Except he doesn't want to go to war like that guy did.
	You know, he doesn't have the juice to go fight, and he doesn't have the inclination to do it either.
	Again, occupypeace.com, occupypeace.com next week up here in Kingston, New York.
	And you're up here.
	You see how beautiful it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	The most historic four corners in America where the seeds of democracy were sown.
	I bet you.
	Judge Palatano, Scott Ritter, Joe Lauria, Garland Nixon, Roger Ward is going to be doing a live stream.
	Dennis Kucinich, others.
	We're doing everything we can in the name of peace.
	We need to get you here.
	And put your money where your mouth is or heart is if you want to and support us with Occupy Peace.
	This costs a lot of money, a lot of dough.
	We have top security.
	Everything is cool, man.
	And so we're doing everything we can in the name of peace.
	I bet it's going to be beautiful up there this time of year as well.
	This is fall time right now.
	Gorgeous.
	Gorgeous.
	So next week, Kingston, New York.
	And what time does it kick off?
	Two o'clock.
	Two o'clock.
	And where's the website where people can find it?
	Occupy Peace?
	Occupy Peace.
	Okay, is that .com or dot org?
	.com.
	That's great.
	I've been dropping the link in chat for people as well.
	Okay, good.
	Thank you, Travis.
	Yeah, it was a great rally that you did.
	Actually, that one was in May when we went up, I think, in 2021.
	But I would recommend it to anybody to go up there and be counted as being on the side of peace because war is breaking out everywhere for every reason or for no reason at all, which is typically why it's being brought up.
	But yeah, the people who push back against war, they call us all kinds of things.
	They call us, for right now, they call us isolationists.
	Yeah, we would like to isolate ourselves from that kind of death and suffering and having that kind of blood on our hands.
	We would definitely, I would own that label.
	I want to be isolated from these monsters who are doing this stuff.
	Thank you so much for joining us, Gerald.
	Thank you for what you do.
	Again, everybody, next Saturday, a week from tomorrow, in Kingston, New York, look at occupypeace.com and you find out how you can show up for the rally and the great speakers that are going to be there.
	And you can add your voice to that as well.
	Thank you so much, Gerald.
	Thank you.
	And thank you, Travis, and all your team for what you do.
	I really appreciate it.
	Thank you, Gerald.
	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the Communist Future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidnight show.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
