	In a world of deceit.
	Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Columbus Day, Monday, the 13th of October, Year of Our Lord 2025.
	Well, today we're going to look at uh more uh Trump tacos thrown at the market, and the market had a very interesting reaction, especially crypto.
	So we're going to talk about that.
	And we're going to talk about the uh Trump uh apocalypse that he is so uh excited about and doing memes about.
	I got my own meme because I saw a lot of work that was being done by MAGA fans cheering on police brutality.
	And I gotta say that I just uh the the real problem is at the grassroots level.
	That's what enables the kinds of things that Trump is doing.
	So we're gonna take a look at uh where we are and all that and where they want us to go.
	The uh smart cities, the freedom cities, there's a lot more involved in that.
	If you look at Peter Thiel and Curtis Jarvin, a lot more involved in that than simply falling in line with the UN agenda.
	You know, they've got their own agenda.
	That's what makes the technocrats so dangerous.
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Well, another day, another capricious, arbitrary uh temper tantrum raising tariffs this time to 100% on China.
	And uh it is in response in Trump's defense to China putting on new export controls on some key uh mineral um uh materials and that type of thing.
	Uh does he not realize though that his uh tariffs are essentially doing the same thing on the input side for American manufacturing?
	We don't have the infrastructure involved here to get all this stuff done in the US.
	Uh as uh as Lance mentioned once before, somebody tried to create a very simple device and was going to have it 100% sourced in America.
	Uh but somebody needs to go back and read Leonard Reed's iPencil, which I spent a lot of time on five years ago when Trump was setting down shutting down the supply chains and breaking them left and right.
	I said, you know, things have been distributed all over the place, and uh that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
	It can be done in a bad way, but we need to have the resources available to us everywhere.
	And when you start messing, it's not even just making something expensive.
	If he makes it expensive and leaves it that way, you can deal with it.
	People can work around that.
	But he's constant it's the constant chaos.
	It's the on again, off again, on again, off again, on again, off.
	Nobody can operate in a situation like that.
	So he's deliberately shutting down our manufacturing and our farms, uh, especially at the small and mid level.
	The big guys have got deep pockets, and no matter what happens, they can continue to lose money on this and make it up on the stock market.
	We've seen that over and over again.
	So what he's doing is he's destroying the little guys.
	He's destroying the small and medium-sized companies with this kind of reaction.
	And I don't disagree that we need to disconnect ourselves from China.
	Uh I do agree with that goal, but it makes all the difference in the world how you do it.
	Or if you do it.
	I mean, if that's the goal, shouldn't you plan about this?
	This is why it's so dangerous when you look at all the different wars that Trump wants to get us into.
	You know, do they plan on this?
	Do they have a plan?
	Or are they just gonna jump in and start shooting everybody and then react to what happens?
	And that's what he's doing on an economic level.
	If they had a plan, they would have made sure that they secured some vital sources, for example, the rare earth uh minerals.
	They would have known that there was gonna be retaliation against the farmers, and they would have been ready to go with relief from day one rather than letting the farmers die.
	And they still haven't done anything.
	They were quick to relieve Javier Malai and Argentina.
	That money came right away, just like that.
	You just ask and he's got it.
	But if you are a small farmer in Arkansas, you're facing economic ruin, and these guys are still promising someday they're going to do something about it.
	So don't worry.
	Trust the plan, right?
	There is no plan.
	That's the problem.
	He's got some goal that he would like to achieve.
	He has no plan on how to do it.
	He's made no preparations.
	He's done nothing to make it work.
	Trump has announced that the U.S. will impose 100% tariffs on Chinese guys beginning November the first.
	In response to what he described as Beijing's extraordinarily aggressive new trade restrictions.
	Beijing announced a new new export controls of certain strategic minerals that have dual use and military applications, saying that the move was intended to protect national security and to meet international obligations, including those related to non-proliferation.
	Except that when Trump puts these controls on like tin plate and things like that that people are using in order to make cans so that we can put food that we grow in the cans and other things like that.
	When he does that, that may not be something that is being used by the military.
	But he's made no preparations to make sure that that's here, just like he's made no preparations to secure our rare earth supplies before he cuts them off with his temper tantrums.
	So large-scale export controls on virtually every product they make and some not even made by them, he said, that'll affect all countries without exception.
	Well, the 90-day pause has seen U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods fall from 145%.
	Remember the bidding war that he had on this?
	To 30%, the Chinese tariffs products drop from 125% to 10%.
	The extension expires in November.
	Trump described China's move as absolutely unheard of in international trade.
	Well, so is his.
	We've never had a situation where one individual just unilaterally imposes trade restrictions like this and then takes them off and then puts them back on and takes them off.
	That is what's unprecedented.
	It's just amazing that he can get away with this.
	He says it's a moral disgrace.
	Yeah, it really is to see what he's doing.
	So what has been the fallout?
	Well, stocks plunged in after hours trade, as Trump confirmed the 100% tariffs and export controls on China.
	And of course, uh Michael Snyder, the economic collapse blog, had an article about the farmers facing the worst economic downturn in at least 50 years.
	Because I know Michael, I've interviewed him a couple of times.
	He came to the studio and met him in person.
	We interviewed and talked afterwards.
	When he was there, he was getting ready to do a run for Congress in Idaho.
	And Gary Haven was there as well, the billionaire who did the Curves franchise.
	And uh, you know, we talked and put in a good word for Michael.
	And uh I don't know what came of it, if Gary uh helped him, he certainly seemed like he was going to help him, but he didn't win.
	But I thought at the time, I thought it'd be good to have somebody who uh has the perspective that Michael does.
	But what he's showing in this article is that he would have just been another Mike Johnson.
	I'm ashamed to say.
	He didn't mention Trump once.
	What's the matter with you, Michael?
	Come on.
	You gotta talk about the key part of this problem is, you know, yes, there's a structural issue with the farms.
	It's a big issue.
	However, what is happening right now is Trump is pouring gasoline on their field and setting it on fire.
	How can you do an article about what they're facing and not mention Trump and this fiasco with China and shutting down the soybean market And all the rest of this stuff.
	I just don't understand it.
	He says the agricultural issue in the U.S. is deeply broken.
	Farmers are the foundation of it all, but they are being financially squeezed from every direction, being squeezed by the giant monopolies that control the seeds, fertilizer, and machinery that they need, being squeezed by giant monopolies that purchase most of what they produce.
	Meanwhile, demand from overseas has dried up thanks to the global trade war.
	That's as close as he gets.
	Does not mention Trump, who started the global trade war.
	U.S. farmers really are facing a perfect storm, and as a result, most farms are losing money and bankruptcies are surging.
	Yeah, well, you know, this is all deliberate from Trump.
	And whether or not it's a plan of his, whether or not he's doing this for Peter Teal and company, as part of the great takedown.
	Um he's still pouring gasoline on the fire.
	Um horror stories.
	The pain is unreal.
	Worst farming situation I've seen in my life, uh, says uh one guy with the who's the president of the Farm Protection Alliance.
	Uh he's 40 years old.
	He said, look at the extension, University of Arkansas numbers.
	Corn growers losing 240 acres dollars per acre, soybean losing 144 dollars per acre, rice losing 380 per acre, and the cotton growers may be the worst of all.
	And this is why we're seeing a large number of uh bankruptcies, especially in Arkansas.
	Uh in a nutshell, we're going over a cliff in Arkansas, he said.
	Banks are foreclos for forecasting farm bankruptcies at 25 to 40 percent.
	And the dirty secret is out.
	Everyone knows it.
	Everyone feels it.
	That's why some people have said about one in three farms.
	It's kind of the midpoint, roughly between uh the 25 to 40%, but it could be worse.
	It could be uh 40%, could be nearly half the farms, just in that one state.
	And uh the response to all that is you constantly hear Bessett, Treasury Secretary Bessant saying, Yeah, we're thinking about doing something.
	Yeah, you're thinking about it, are you?
	Uh in response to what you kicked off.
	Why did some and then we have crypto?
	Crypto had an aha moment here.
	Why did some altcoins on bit on Binance crash all the way to zero?
	So this has affected the stock market, it's affected the crypto market.
	And the thing I find interesting about this is that crypto seems to be moving not in opposition to uh the economy and the stock market, but in the same direction with it.
	Uh which means that it's not what tells me is that it's not a it's not a hedge like gold and silver are.
	Uh briefly hit zero on Binance during Friday's crypto crash, but stayed afloat elsewhere.
	Some of this was a liquidity issue with Binance.
	Bitcoin fell about 10 to 15% from their highs, uh down to uh lows of 105,000 from 124,000.
	However, altcoins were far worse, especially those that traded on Binance, with many of them plunging nearly 100% in minutes.
	So 100% tariffs on China, and we get a hundred percent loss in value on altcoins.
	Funny how that works.
	Um it works.
	If you're not holding this stuff, a lot of people lost a lot of money.
	Uh nearly 20 billion dollars worth of crypto positions were liquidated, about 20 times more than during the 2020 COVID-19 market route, which is also Trump.
	Over 1.6 million traders lost their positions as leverage wiped them out.
	One and a half million people.
	Completely wiped out with their positions on that coin there.
	Major exchanges, including Binance, were liquidating collateral tied to cross-margin positions, which exacerbated the sell-off.
	Arthur Hayes says, Word on the street is that big uh exchanges auto-liquidation of collateral tied to cross-margin positions is why lots of alts got smoked on the move down.
	Congrats to all you stink bidders.
	We won't be seeing those levels anytime soon on high quality alts.
	Uh so another guy whose cowboy says Binance is proven once again why they're the biggest scammers in crypto.
	During recent market crash, they froze their accounts across the board, preventing traders from accessing their funds at critical times.
	So it's uh some analysts said that the market makers like Winter Moot withdrew their funds from Binance due to those delays.
	This meant that there were no buy orders left for a few moments.
	So the system showed zero prices for some coins, even though the tokens still had value elsewhere.
	This is the way stock markets crash as well.
	And so the question is, is this is what it's going to look like when the bubble finally bursts on the NVIDIA AI boom that's going on there?
	What happened yesterday, says uh Jean-Pierre Damara.
	He says, What happened yesterday in my view was that the market makers turned off their liquidity bots.
	As a result, altcoins were left without buy orders, while stop losses were triggered.
	And coincidentally, Binance froze, preventing anyone from buying.
	Those buy orders would have helped absorb the sell pressure and provided liquidity during the drop.
	He says to me it all seems highly coordinated.
	especially considering that just moments before Wintermoot transferred $700 million to Binance.
	He said, let's be real, do you really think Binance doesn't have the technology to handle a crash like that without freezing?
	No other major exchange went down.
	So the real question is, why did Binance freeze?
	He said.
	Well, again, um the uh crypto crash wake up call.
	Uh this is also from uh Michael Snyder.
	He says uh what we just saw happen was massive liquidations, break of key support levels, weak institutional flows and investor pullback, macro headwinds and bond yields, and sentiment collapse.
	Now he's saying that it's a much bigger issue.
	And it and you did have uh crypto affected, bitcoin was affected, and Ethereum was connected uh affected.
	I look at it as uh, you know, this these altcoins going to zero, that was all Binance and uh the fact that you know a lot of these altcoins are only traded on one exchange, and so that's a big issue with that.
	But um when you look at the direction that it moves and the reaction that it has to bad economic news, that's the bigger story, I think.
	It isn't so much that uh there was a hitch in these altcoins and that the crypto stuff went down on the news.
	To me, the issue is that it moved in tandem with the stock markets.
	What's going to happen with crypto when the stock market bumps uh collapses?
	And it is going to collapse.
	It's not a matter of if, but it is a matter of when this AI thing is gonna go.
	Uh because it's so far, the hype is so far ahead of the reality.
	And uh, and I know that there's a reality out there of how uh AI can be used, but people are still looking around for how they're going to be able to use it profitably.
	Yes, the killer app is government surveillance and control, no doubt about that.
	And they can make money selling stuff to the government.
	However, uh, when you look at all these other issues, the AI slop that is out there and the uh Deloitte and Touche, uh, you know, or just Deloitte, I guess, um and other law firms that have been caught using AI to put together their audits or their briefs or whatever, and the AI making stuff up.
	Uh it's not ready for prime time, and yet we have people have invested in the stock market like it's already in prime time.
	That's the issue, just like with the dot com bust.
	Was the internet real?
	Yes.
	Was the internet huge in our lives?
	Yes.
	But they got ahead of everything in terms of the hype.
	And then they panicked and ran for the exits, and that's the way these things work.
	In the past few days, the cryptocurrency market's undergone a sharp reversal.
	Prices across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many prominent altcoins have collapsed, liquidating billions and speculative bets, rattling investor confidence.
	This is not merely a garden variety pullback.
	It is a wake-up call that the crypto space may be dangerously overextended and fragile under stress.
	Far more risky than many public narratives will admit.
	And I agree with him on that.
	So when you look at who generally invests in the crypto space, it's mostly younger guys who are just incredibly bullish.
	They're just, you know, crypto's going to the moon.
	I'm going to invest in this coin, this coin, that coin, whatever coin I think might be next.
	It's it's incredibly speculative.
	None of it is really based on any sort of, oh, I think this actually has real world utility.
	It's all a bunch of, well, this one I think could explode.
	I think this one might be the next one that takes.
	And sometimes they put too much into it.
	Uh too much.
	That that market is always going to be incredibly volatile, just based on who is involved with it.
	Yeah.
	It's not based on reality.
	It's all based on I'm going to get rich.
	This is going to be the next one that takes off.
	And that's the characteristics of all the bubbles.
	Once you get a lot of people in who have uh, you know, that they're not really looking at fundamentals or long-term investment.
	They're just playing a hunch, right?
	And they're gambling.
	And then when things start to go bad, you know, they're they're watching stuff, and the first sign that something's bad.
	I gotta get out.
	I gotta get out.
	I'm gonna lose it all.
	Yeah.
	So uh first they get in for fear of missing out, and then they jump out for fear of staying in.
	And uh that's what creates these situations.
	Like I said, I lost a lot of money in the uh the dot-com bus because uh I looked at it and said, yeah, the internet is for real, absolutely for real.
	And I didn't even want to pick a a particular stock like Amazon or whatever.
	Um, but um I I wanted to invest in the switching equipment that was going to be used to build the internet.
	I thought that was a safe bet.
	Everybody got hammered.
	Everybody got hammered.
	I mean, you saw uh Intel, everything, but um, you know, all all the big telecommunication companies, uh, even some of the others like JDS Unifase that were building switching equipment.
	I mean, it was just blood in the streets uh when it happened because it was it was mass panic.
	And I can look back on it and laugh now, but it was not funny at the time.
	So uh liquidity is thinner than advertised, narratives mask real risks, and it is a stress test for confidence, which uh they didn't do too well.
	So the bigger picture, says uh Michael Snyder, is a crypto reckoning.
	Crash is more than temporary shake out, it may signal deeper structural tension in the crypto economy.
	The industry's long relied on narratives and forward-looking valuations and not on stable cash flows or durable foundations.
	And in tough conditions, these beliefs fail first.
	So that's how an effective risk structure.
	And again, even that is getting out ahead of things because uh Lucky Lutnik and Trump have not put in their crypto scam foundation yet.
	Uh so you know, they've not started buying the uh buying into crypto, and they've not started with the stable coin uh uh prop propping that up in the way that they are going to prop it up.
	So I think that the uh story for that is better in the long term, but who knows what's going to happen in the short term.
	So um it's um it truly is crazy.
	So uh meanwhile, on the metal side, uh you're seeing things like this.
	One way to position for one hundred dollar silver.
	Is that crazy?
	I mean, you know, has I just ask you this.
	Are we looking at an economy that is more stable and uh uh the foundations are starting to get aligned right now, or is it getting shakier than it has been over the last year, where we saw the price of silver already double once.
	And uh, I know that sounds crazy, but uh following a run-up on the gold market where it is drawing gone up more than 51% uh uh year to date, silver is now 73% up.
	And uh so again, just mention David Knight.gold, which take you to Tony Artem, Wolfpack.
	If you want to start uh collecting something, it's gonna be a hedge uh against uh what is coming.
	Uh you can do that on a gradual basis with Wolfpack.
	I don't know anybody else that does anything like that.
	Of course, Tony can handle your uh gold and silver transactions.
	Um he can uh convert Bitcoin to gold or silver as well without a fee, he said.
	And uh so uh just go to David Knight.gold that'll let them know that you're coming through us.
	And uh you need to get into something that is real.
	Gold's acceleration reveals a vanishing calm and coming change.
	That's right.
	Um it only took 200 days for it to go from 3,000 to 4,000.
	It's almost uh uh difficult to remember, really.
	Uh that uh when that was a really big look when over 3,000 then now it's over 4,000.
	These are the kind of psychological barriers that uh break these things.
	And as um uh John Rubino has been warning of a currency crisis for several years now.
	Uh it's not just the US dollar.
	It's not just the euro.
	It's not just the yen.
	Everything is up in the air.
	And that's why all the central banks are all collecting gold.
	They all see what is on the horizon.
	We have massive debt that is unfunded except by crypto and monetizing of the debt, but we're not the only country doing it.
	The f this crazy thing is that Germany just started doing this massive deficit financing so they could ramp up their dead military industrial complex.
	They jump in at the tail end of the bubble, and nobody told Fred Mertz what was going on.
	Lucy's gonna have some splaining to do here.
	Uh gold is saying that the fiat currency experiment is ending globally.
	That's what Rubino says.
	He said, if you watch the financial press, they're noting that the price of gold is going up.
	But they're treating it like any other asset.
	He said gold is humanity's oldest form of money, so that when it goes up in price, that means that the currencies against uh it which we're measuring it are going down in value.
	What we're seeing all around the world is fiat currencies declining in value dramatically, especially against gold.
	Gold just in the last couple of weeks pierced not just its all-time nominal high, but it's all time inflation adjusted high.
	This is a much bigger deal because we have had so much inflation in the last 30 or 40 years.
	Basically, gold is saying that the fiat currency experiment is ending.
	In other words, the monetary system we set up in 1971 when we went off the gold standard, Brett Woods II.
	Uh this led countries to create way too much debt, increase their spending dramatically, and basically make all the mistakes that a human makes when you give them an unlimited credit card.
	Now we're burdened with debt.
	We cannot pay off, and people expect to be taken care of.
	France is a good example of this.
	He said uh governments around the world are forced to buy more and more money to cover the obligations they've taken on and to cover the interest costs on their debt.
	This requires them to print more money, and that is lowering the value of the currencies even more quickly.
	This basically will lead to a currency death spiral, and that is where we are right now.
	And the thing I find interesting is that I would have thought that Bitcoin would be something of a counter to that, but it doesn't appear to be.
	When things get tough, uh it doesn't hang tough.
	In order for gold to serve as foundation for the next monetary system, uh that they're that's why they're accumulating so much gold.
	You can see it even with the the BRICS people, right?
	They're trying to set up their own system.
	So where do they go to back it up?
	They go to gold.
	Uh they want to get out of this system that's been weaponized against them.
	They want to set up a new one, so that's why they're accumulating gold.
	Uh as we did in the classical gold standard that was in place up until World War I. If we went back to that, you would need a gold price of around $20,000 an ounce.
	You would need this to back all the currencies that are out there now.
	And if we keep doing what we're doing now, the fiat currencies would go to zero, which means that gold would go to infinity.
	My guess on the future gold price is somewhere between twenty thousand and infinity to infinity and beyond.
	That's uh he kind of takes a buzzlight year approach to uh the price of gold.
	But the bottom line is that you know that may be uh an optimistic scenario for a gold investor.
	However, uh when you look at the the foundation that is there, the question is uh, you know, not um uh it it still looks good as regardless of what the next limit is.
	As a matter of fact, another guy, Hartnett said the gold is going to be six thousand dollars by next spring.
	I mean, we keep seeing conservative things coming out of uh Bank of America and Goldman Sachs saying, well, I think it's gonna be four hundred dollars four thousand uh by the second quarter next year.
	Uh oh well may you know it's four thousand right after they say that now it's go up to like forty-nine hundred.
	They're very conservative on what they do, but this guy's saying six thousand Rubino is saying twenty thousand eventually, where this all goes.
	So um the question is um what will the meltdown on Friday do to Trump's response?
	What will that feel like uh today?
	What kind of a meltdown are we going to see in the market today?
	And of course, nobody knows.
	Uh nobody can predict the markets in advance.
	They can rig the markets in advance.
	But um, you know, this is all, again, the uh let's not forget what kicked off this whole thing.
	You know, who lit the fire?
	It's Donald Trump who lit the fire on this, no doubt about it.
	And so uh the big crash, are we headed for another nineteen twenty-nine?
	This is from the Telegraph, the UK, uh looking at a hypothetical scenario where a global financial crisis could occur during a combination of factors, including a bursting AI bubble, highly likely, a debt crisis, highly likely, and a loss of confidence in the US dollar, also highly likely.
	The article also highlights the parallels between the current situations and the events leading up to the Great Depression.
	It's October 2027, and the poly crisis that financial markets have long feared is unfolding at speed.
	Putin has made a strong gains in his war against Ukraine and begun massing troops at Europe's border in readiness for an invasion of one or more of the Baltic states.
	In the Far East, and and again, I don't this is the telegraph.
	I don't think that that I could be wrong.
	I don't know what's in Putin's mind, but um, you know, if NATO felt that it was in their best interests to constantly push, push, push towards Russia, then to use surrogates to attack Russia.
	Perhaps uh Putin would do that.
	I don't see that their beef in Ukraine is a domino uh theory situation like they lied to us about Vietnam.
	Uh but it could be that maybe he realizes that um, you know, it's uh he gets into an existential fight.
	Perhaps uh he would come after the countries of Europe.
	I don't know.
	In the Far East, China's Xi Jinping is openly preparing for his long promised assault on Taiwan, emboldened by both Putin's success and Trump's drubbing in the congressional midterms, which has significantly reduced the U.S.'s scope for effective retaliation.
	In the Middle East, the fragile peace secured by Trump in 2025 has already fallen apart, plunging the region into renewed conflict.
	And look, we'll talk about that.
	We'll talk about Cutter and their role in it and uh the things that were tied to Cutter, the military base, the arms deal, uh the golf course, um different things.
	This is just the Trump economics here and Trump diplomacy.
	It's like uh where's my cut.
	Uh it's uh I I just can't um just can't find the words to adequately express my contempt for what the man is doing.
	It's just in every arena.
	So this is their their scenario.
	Okay, you just take things where they are right now and tweak them a little bit to the bad side, which is uh very probable for all this.
	I d I don't know that um you know Putin feels strong enough to take on all of Europe uh and the U.S. I think for the most part um this has been something of a defensive war, frankly.
	But I was surprised when he went into Ukraine.
	I thought that was a bad move.
	I thought if he when he did that, he basically fed their narrative.
	And uh so I don't know about that, but the rest of the stuff is pretty pretty straightforward.
	On the stock markets, it's ma'am.
	Trillions of dollars of losses are being inflicted on the one-time boom sector of artificial intelligence.
	With the global economy on the brink of recession and unemployment climbing sharply, it's clear that the market for AI services has been grossly overestimated.
	They got way ahead of themselves.
	And um I think I saw this early because of my own personal experience with a dot com bust.
	Um a lot of people I think were slow to see it Because they didn't get sometimes when you get hit upside the head with a two by four, you uh sometimes learn something from it.
	Once burned twice shy.
	Yeah, I think I got hit harder than most of these people who are predicting the rosy scenario for AI.
	Despite promises made by AI evangelists, productivity is flatlining, and far from improving output, reports suggest AI is damaging many businesses where it has been most fervently applied.
	Such some claims on which AI has been sold to investors and lenders even turn out to be overtly fraudulent.
	Many of the mega deals that characterize the latter stages of the great AI gold rush, with customers and suppliers incestuously taking cross holdings in one another, that's the circular investment we see going on with Nvidia and some of its customers, are fast unraveling in an orgy of litigation, broken promises, and scattered expectations.
	But that's not all.
	Overlaying the stock market crash is a debt crisis of monstrous proportions.
	Almost everywhere.
	Bond market investors are on strike, and interest rates are rocketing.
	In other words, nobody's buying the government debt anymore because they don't believe they're going to get paid.
	Global governments are struggling both to refinance mountainous debts and to fund ballooning expenditures.
	Private credit, a form of finance that has flourished outside the conventional, most uh more tightly regulated banking system, is in a meltdown with a folly of lending to higher risk enterprises unable to access credit elsewhere, now cruelly exposed for all to see.
	You know, kind of like the subprime loans that we saw.
	The only thing that he doesn't have factored in here is that I think uh Lucky Lutnik and uh Bessett, I think these guys are really clever at what they do.
	I mean, a peasant was with Soros when he broke the Bank of England.
	So these guys know what they're doing when it comes to money.
	They're fiendishly good at it.
	And uh that's what I think this whole stable coin thing is.
	It's not uh that the coin itself is stable, but it's there to stabilize the government's debt and to take it out to the retail level.
	So that is the one thing that uh may come through, I don't know.
	Uh so bad is the shock that the whole construct of competing fiat currencies on which the world's financial architecture is built, seems to be crumbling.
	And instead, states are hurriedly erecting financial border controls in a futile attempt to stop the investors who haven't lost everything, fleeing for safer shores.
	But those investors are realizing a dreadful truth.
	Even if you can get your money out, there appears to be no safe place left to put it.
	So this, of course, is a wholly imagined doomsday future.
	Yet finance is built entirely on trust and confidence, and rarely has it looked quite so fragile as it does today.
	Even the usually sleepy Bank of England and the IMF have now taken to warning about the possibilities of a sharp, destabilizing correction in the stock markets, all puffed up as they are by fevered speculation over the potentially transformative powers of AI.
	Valuations are stretched to the breaking point, with the so-called Schiller cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio, which I've never heard of before.
	Generally guarded as the most reliable indicator where the market's uh where the market is relative to past peaks.
	It's close to the all-time high that recorded during the dot-com bubble, and slightly higher than it was before the Great Crash of 1929.
	The parallels of previous market manias are striking.
	So is this 1929 all over again?
	Surely not.
	We're all too clever, far too clever, worldly wise and conditioned by the disastrous consequences of the most famous of all stock market crashes to let it happen again.
	It's unthinkable.
	Or is it?
	When a banking titan as seasoned as Jamie Demon, chief executive of JP Morgan, openly expresses his concern, it's time to sit up and take notice.
	He said in an interview last week that he's far more worried than others about the possibility of a serious market collapse.
	There were a lot of things out there, he said, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty.
	And he went on, citing geopolitical instability, unaffordable state spending, remilitarization.
	I guess he could sum it up by Saying Trump.
	Yet if it's not clear which needle will burst the bubble, there's no doubt about the bubble itself.
	The AI hype is off the scale with a big prize dominance, not of the generative AI chatbots that we've already become accustomed to using, but of so-called general artificial intelligence.
	So computers with cognitive powers similar to a human being, only infinitely faster and more powerful.
	The dangers of AI fever are not just an unhinged stock market speculation.
	Such is the magnitude of investment in AI data centers, that's going to be a huge disruption to our power grid.
	And you know, we're going to be able to make anything that's real when we are using all of our power to entertain ourselves in a fantasy cyber world.
	That's the question.
	And uh so it is really destructive of capital.
	It is destructive of of uh power for the grid.
	It's destructive of so many different things.
	And in terms of economics, like Corey Doctorow said, um, look, uh, the AI may not uh be able to replace you.
	But your boss might fire you if he thinks that it can't.
	And even if the AI can't do the job, you won't have a job either.
	That's his point.
	So they're obviously they're believing the hype because they're investing big dollars in it.
	We've already seen a lot of tech companies uh very early on hire fire massive numbers of people.
	And uh, you know, were they replaced adequately?
	Well, uh, we don't know.
	Rarely, if ever have the fortunes of the world economy depended so precariously on the judgment of a small cluster of men.
	The bosses of Meta Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, X, Amazon, and others were chasing the crock of gold at the end of the AI rainbow.
	Well, again, even in that metaphor, we always go back to gold at the end of the rainbow.
	You know, you don't have to you don't have to follow their rainbow to get to the gold.
	You can go to David Knight die gold.
	Uh tech giants say this time is different.
	Unlike the dot-com bubble, which is characterized by lots of aspiring wing and a prayer enterprises of hardly any substance, the current investment boom is substantially led by a small number of well-established cash-rich mega companies, easily capable of absorbing the new industry's heavy upfront cost.
	What's more they claim AI promises an economic miracle that will render current concerns about spiraling deficits and fiscal black holes almost wholly irrelevant, with stellar growth fast eroding national debt piles.
	And again, I think this is a naive take.
	George Gilder in his book uh Life After Google.
	So then we wrote it, he was past 80, and he said, uh, but I think I'm gonna live to see uh Google going down.
	And so I said, I certainly hope he's right.
	But uh who knows, uh if it's to go down, it's gonna have to be a crash of this type of magnitude.
	And and the fundamental flaw behind uh these the technocracy is that they believe that their technology, especially AI, with AI robotics and nanotech, um, all of the uh the awful stuff, uh, genetics included, they think that they are at the cusp of a situation where there'll be so much resources that they just have to allocate it, and they'll be the ones to allocate it.
	And this is the same fantasy that Karl Marx had about the industrial revolution.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's why George Gilder calls them neo-Marxists, because that's the fundamental conceit, flawed conceit of Marxism, and these people have bought into that as well.
	And uh just like the communist bosses, they're going to take everything.
	Um, it's going to be true for them, but it's not going to be true for us.
	Yeah.
	Um back when I was hosting the show, so that's what I kept saying, is just the AI doesn't have to be capable of doing your job well.
	Yeah.
	It just has to be capable enough that your boss thinks that it's worthwhile.
	And fires you.
	They just have to look at it and say, all right, the product's going to get worse, but is it going to get so much worse that we're going to lose customers?
	Mm-hmm.
	How many customers are going to lose?
	How much are we saving?
	It just has to be the right value proposition, the right risk versus reward analysis.
	Cost-benefit analysis for them is everything.
	If it makes them a little bit more money than it does keeping you on staff, they will gut the entire program.
	They will make it borderline unusable just so long as it keeps making them more money.
	That's right, absolutely.
	It's not as though they have any commitment to quality with these things as we've seen with the constant initiatification of everything.
	They'll fire a billion Indians.
	That's right.
	Well, the um headline after headline talking about how Trump triggered a crypto crash.
	Uh markets brace for chaos after Trump triggers a record-breaking crypto crash.
	And uh the crypto carnage, Trump tariff tapebomb triggers largest liquidation event in history for crypto.
	This is the guy that's going to be so uh good for crypto.
	And of course, he is going to be good, has been good for crypto and will be good for crypto.
	The problem is that he's just bad for the economy in general.
	Again, it goes back to this tariff thing, right?
	A bad decision, the way that he's running the tariff stuff on again, off again, on again, off again, destroys everything.
	Even the industries that he's heavily trying to subsidize and build up, he's destroying.
	And then we take uh industries that are already struggling for a number of reasons, like farming, it's just catastrophic what he's doing.
	And this all comes from our dear leader who has determined that he's going to arbitrarily and capriciously make these decisions and uh and everybody's just laying down and letting him do it.
	I can't I can believe that Mike Johnson is going to let him do it.
	I just can't believe that the courts are letting him do it.
	They're moving so excruciatingly slow.
	And that's the key thing, and we're going to talk about this when we talk about uh after the break, we're going to talk about what's going on with the Trump apocalypse that he's so happy about.
	You know, the uh meme Chicago apocalypse, the Chi apocalypse or whatever.
	Um he jumps in and does these things.
	His mode of operation is to declare an emergency, and then to say, because I have declared an emergency, now I can do anything I want.
	And then to fake his authority until somebody shuts him down because Congress isn't going to push back against him.
	And the Supreme Court takes about a year before it can even put its pants on.
	Assuming that they're wearing pants under the rope.
	Uh, but they don't do anything.
	And so he is faking it and making it without having any authority on this.
	So meanwhile, you have a question as to uh uh this crypto crash.
	An early Bitcoin whale shorted one point one billion dollars right before the tariffs, and uh made twenty-seven million dollars on this.
	How did he know that was going to happen?
	And uh so was there insider trading going on?
	Let me tell you, when they crash the markets, when they crash the crypto markets, the stock markets, and other things, people like Lucky Lutnik and Lucky Donald are going to uh have some insider stuff that's going on.
	They're gonna know when they when they crater this stuff and they're going to make sure that they come out on the other side.
	I saw some news uh late last night about a account that was created right before all this happened that did a massive short.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, going back to 9-11, right?
	Same type of stuff.
	And uh and they got away with it 9-11.
	They will get away with it this time over and over again.
	Uh no doubt about it.
	So you create an account and then you crash the market, and uh, you know, it uh you create an account and it shorts the uh Bitcoin and uh make 27 million dollars, just like that.
	There's also the fact that even if someone weren't specifically doing this, like I think they are, with the sheer number of people that have to be involved with the administration that know what's going on, someone is going to tell somebody else.
	Someone is going to find out and they will make that play.
	So even if they're not specifically going, hey, I got I got a tip for you, you need to do this.
	That's right.
	Someone is just going, it'll disseminate, it'll reach somebody.
	And you'll do it in a in a plausibly deniable way.
	Well not yeah, I just got lucky.
	What can I say?
	Sometimes you lose it all, sometimes you make a hundred and sixty million dollars.
	Well, look at what this whale did.
	Uh a tenfold leveraged short on six thousand one hundred and eighty-nine Bitcoin, valued at 752.9 million dollars, with a liquidation price of 130,810, and a 12-time leverage short on Ethereum, worth $353 million with a liquidation price of $4,500.
	The timing sparked widespread speculation about insider knowledge with a trader doubling down on the shorts just 30 minutes before Trump's tariff announcement.
	The most corrupt nothing suspicious to see here.
	The most corrupt administration perhaps we've ever had, uh certainly in terms of dollar amounts.
	Uh the Ulysses Grant administration can't hold a candle to this one.
	But yeah, it is truly amazing what he's been able to do here.
	According to On-Chain Anlist, my uh MLMABC, the whale, approximately 90% of Bitcoin shorts, and come um completed completely exited Ethereum at the bottom of the drop, pocketing between 190 million and 200 million in realized profits within a single day.
	In case you didn't know, the Bitcoin whale crossed 90% of his Bitcoin short and fully closed on his Ethereum short, making around $190 to $200 million profit in just one day.
	That was a tweet that was put out by uh MLM ABC.
	Look on chain data.
	The trader began accumulating the short positions on October the 9th by depositing 80 million US dollars into hyperliquid, followed by additional deposits totaling tens of millions throughout the week, leading up to the crash.
	The market collapse triggered over 1.6 million liquidations in 24 hours, wiping out 20 billion dollars in positions, according to CoinGlass data.
	The uh liquidation figure floating around is fake, says MLM ABC.
	The real number is likely much higher, somewhere in the 30 to 40 billion dollar range.
	Long positions accounted for 17 billion dollars of those losses, while shorts contributed to 2.5 billion.
	Bitcoin and Ethereum led liquidations at uh $5 billion and $4 billion, respectively, followed by Solana at $2 billion, and uh Ripple, XRP at $708 million.
	Hyperliquid saw the largest single liquidation, and Ethereum dollar position worth $203 million.
	Uh so again, when we look at um the the fraud that is possible with this stuff, and the other thing is that immediately they can go back and put these numbers together.
	Why?
	Because all the transactions are public for everybody to see.
	There's nothing encrypted about in crypto except for the handshaking when you process the uh the transaction from what I understand.
	But the blockchain itself is fully public.
	So all the records are there.
	People can piece this stuff together immediately.
	That's how they immediately know that there's a whale there.
	Uh with other forms of investment, it takes a while to go back and get the records, and the records are not available to the general public.
	This stuff is.
	So Trump better watch itself.
	It's uh it's pretty amazing.
	So um the the massive fraud that is involved in all this stuff.
	Well, we're gonna take a quick break before we do.
	Let's read some of the comments here.
	That's right.
	Conthink.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it.
	It says peace in the Middle East, now to Ukraine, and we still want the Epstein files.
	That's right.
	Still got to turn those over.
	Yeah, and we'll see if that piece lasts, though.
	Yeah, it's uh Israel hasn't been known for keeping their peace agreements.
	They've been known for breaking them and finding reasons to do so.
	Guard Goldsmith, seriously, though, the Trump attacks are getting me to make a lot of changes in purchases.
	I started buying extra canned goods a couple of weeks ago, but they don't carry Prince Albert in my supermarket.
	Is that a is that a canned food brand?
	I'm uh I'm not up on my canned food brands, but if you say they're good, I trust guard's opinion.
	I'm thinking Prince Albert might be like uh is that chewing tobacco?
	What is that, guard?
	It's that pipe pipe uh put that in your pipe and smoke it.
	I don't know.
	That's right.
	You got a stock up on nicotine.
	You lost us on that reference, so I have to explain further.
	Make sure you've got some bottle caps as well.
	You want all the potential currencies gold, silver, nicotine, and alcohol.
	Bulldog.
	I'm just looking at Bitcoin, it dropped from 125 to 114 today, and of course that's 125,000, 114,000.
	Real Jason Barker just at my aunt's and her husband's family just harvested their soybeans and have to sit on them now to wait for someone who will buy.
	Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because the other thing is not only is China not buying, but now there's a glut of soybean on the market, so the price for soybean has dropped, unfortunately for them to sell to anybody.
	Yeah.
	Mama C 1996, our grand elevators have huge piles of soybeans.
	We'll see if they can sell them or not.
	Yeah.
	Real Jason Barker, this is an attack on independent farmers to help big agra snatch up farmland.
	I absolutely agree with that.
	You're absolutely you and I see this exactly the same way.
	I think this is deliberate.
	And I think it's also uh Jason, I think it's also uh Jason Barker Nights of the Storm.
	I think it is also a deliberate attack on all small and medium sized manufacturers.
	I mean, it's just been it's been very difficult.
	If you're making something at all uh here in America, Trump has cut the legs out from underneath you because you've got to get some of the supplies from abroad.
	And nobody knows what to do.
	Uh uh, the tariffs going to be 20%, are they going to be 50%?
	Are they going to drop down below 20%?
	I don't know.
	So how do you jump into a market like that?
	Once you jump in, the chances of you getting burned are huge.
	So everybody's sitting on the sidelines and they can't afford to do anything.
	And the small to medium-sized people out there have to compete with these giant guys anyway.
	And so they can't raise their prices.
	And they're swallowing these tariffs when they go up on uh cost.
	And they can't do that indefinitely because they don't have an infinite supply of capital like the big box retailers do on Wall Street.
	I mean, they operate as if they were a government that's running on fiat currency.
	They have fiat paper stock, which allows them to put out a nice narrative and collect capital.
	Um but small and medium-sized businesses have to work on the reality of the free marketplace, and Trump is killing them.
	Absolutely killing him.
	Same thing he did five years ago.
	Just in a different way.
	Steve Ebbs at SD bullying gold over 4100.
	Rev 7979, big shorts in the last Bitcoin crash.
	Yeah.
	Who would have thought that Trump would have big shorts.
	Guard goldsmith, Bitcoin short sale setup that shook things early, came from what appears to be a political insider knowledge connection because they knew Trump would confirm his 100% tariff on China.
	You know, there's always there's always insider trading going on when it's these people involved.
	Rev 797.
	Well, let me interject here.
	The insider trading is so rampant.
	That's why I don't bother with the stock market.
	And the insider trading on crypto is going to be that way as well.
	Because the people like Lutnik and Bessant and Trump that are all in on it.
	I mean, don't tell me that that's not going to be manipulated insider trading just like the stock market is.
	Yeah.
	Rev 79, 79.
	Nothing is more stable than tangible assets in your hand.
	Like brass bullets.
	That's right.
	Get yourself some brass, some lead.
	Tyler Rob 22.
	We farm, and he's exactly right.
	Commodity prices are in the tank.
	The real OctoSpook.
	Trump is sending long-range missiles into the Ukraine, and American contractors are now arming them and they are being launched into Russia.
	I think he deserves a peace prize for that, don't you?
	I've been the best president on peace, possibly ever.
	Wally walrus, my wolf pack gold is holding its value.
	I've been stocking up on gold backs as well.
	Excited about the Texas gold backs coming soon.
	Steve Ebbs, I just can't get into any crypto.
	I trust things that are my hand.
	I don't fault anyone in crypto, I just don't trust it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's what I like I said.
	It's incredibly volatile just because of who invests in it.
	You've got some very, very large major players like you saw this guy who's connected and knows when things are going down, and then you've got a bunch of other people that are just trying to, you know, have it go to the moon.
	So they're just investing what they can when they can.
	And they'll be forced to abandon their position.
	Well, it's like the original stock market crash, and the guy says um one guy uh I forget who it was that said it.
	So he knew the top uh of the market had been reached when the shoeshine boys were talking about stock tips with each other.
	Because when it gets that far into retail, then uh it's time to get out, you know, because it's always been an inside game.
	Ah.
	So we've got too many suckers in the market.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's the last fool.
	So there's that old saying, you know, if you can't tell who the sucker at the table is, it's true.
	I've never been able to identify the sucker, so I'm fairly confident it's always been me.
	That's my experience.
	Bulldog.
	If silver goes up, everything silver is used in goes up as well.
	Or they can't get silver for for production of everything.
	Manufacturing will have buyer competition on silver.
	Wall eat walrus.
	When all else fails, they take us to war.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Guard goldsmith.
	By the way, that Boston radio host calling Trump the peace president.
	Oh man, Baston.
	What a peace president he is.
	Yeah, it just uh spells it with an eye, as I say.
	Bulldog.
	What if the government becomes a big buyer of silver along with manufacturing?
	It's a possibility, possibility.
	Russia Well, yeah.
	Uh silver is used extensively in uh solar panels and some other things like that as well.
	Yeah.
	Uh it's like the copper stuff that uh they they are in the UK.
	There's so much copper theft of these charging cables that it's completely destroying the charging infrastructure while little of it they're wasped.
	Who knew that crackheads would be our last line of defense?
	Yeah, it's the technocracy.
	And the thing says that it's got uh that it's online and everything's there, but then you get there and there's no cable because somebody cut it off to sell the copper that's there.
	So they they want the copper strands and you're stranded.
	Uh 595 Bullda, uh read that one.
	Niburu 2029 Bitcoin is just a techno Ponzi scheme.
	Mm-hmm.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	The Bitcoin bros should use some of their earnings and reinvest them into far more stable markets.
	That does sound like good advice.
	Sounds like good advice to me.
	You somehow make it to the moon on Bitcoin or one of these altcoins and get out and put it in something that is not going to just crash for no reason.
	And Tony can help you do that without a fee.
	Takes the Bitcoin, it turns it into gold.
	David Knight.gold.
	Niburu 2029.
	1929 will appear a time of plenty compared to Trump's big beautiful economic implosion.
	Yeah.
	I certainly hope not.
	Audi M R R. Trump is trying to turn country into perpetually military occupied American Gaza.
	Yes, I'm gonna talk about that coming up next.
	And of course, uh going back to Nibiru, no matter what happens, God is in control of everything.
	So more than gold, more than silver, more than any investment, whether it's bullets or food.
	You can trust in him always.
	He will always be there.
	The real Octo spook, and of course, uh I mean the gospel.
	Jesus Christ.
	He is who you need in your life, not just uh general God.
	The real Octo spook China.
	Not just the man upstairs.
	I'm uh I'm a big believer in the man upstairs, isn't that?
	The man upstairs.
	Absolutely meaningless.
	China is the largest mining slash producer of gold in the world.
	China's a clear winner here.
	Has 15% of all gold ever mined in the world and increasing every day.
	Trump's tariffs bankrupting Americans just doesn't seem a good response against China.
	No, just like uh um Biden weaponizing the financial system against Russia and confiscating their assets that they had parked in the financial system was a um uh uh uh a self um inflicted wound that uh could be fatal for the economic system.
	Real uh not just because of Russia, but because everybody could see they can't trust this financial system that's been politicized and weaponized.
	Nibiru 2029.
	Putin doesn't have to worry about taking on Mark's America directly.
	Trump will have sabotaged the nation long before that day arrives.
	Yeah.
	Bulldog, oh I got it.
	This is going to pop with bricks.
	It's the market is incredibly unstable and all it needs is just a little push one way or the other.
	Sylvia 19, Catherine Austin Fitz said crypto slash captured stable coin is pump and dump.
	I agree with her.
	It's another good way to get the last of your money out of you.
	Yeah.
	Christian constitutional conservative.
	I'm not gonna buy into anything that Lutnik is and Trump are pushing it's uh not on my watch.
	Christian constitutional conservative.
	I accuse Trump of insider trading, and Friday was a classic example.
	Markets hit all-time highs, and then he announced his hairbrained tariffs.
	Markets plummeted.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Chevkin.
	Three more years of destruction from Trump to go.
	Oh boy.
	Buckle your seat belts.
	Bulldog, the Fortune 500 companies are all maxed out in debt.
	The stock book values are near zero.
	Real Jason Barker, the richest of the rich know what's coming and are often driving it.
	Yeah.
	The real Octosbook.
	Here in Walmart, if you buy booze, everyone with you has to show ID.
	Booze might be a great investment too.
	Walmart is now a branch of the ATF.
	That's right.
	You better start stocking up on Everclear.
	Also it can be used to disinfect wounds if it comes down to it.
	Yeah.
	Got stock in retro video games.
	That's right.
	Invest in Pokemon.
	Buy Pokemon now.
	Nintendo only goes up.
	It's going to the moon.
	It is amazing that the prices are skyrocketing when you would think that collector's items would crash.
	I think it's partially to do with how utterly ridiculous our society has become and how out of touch a lot of people are.
	Yeah.
	They we've lived in a time of plenty for so long that they don't think.
	They haven't gotten the memo.
	Yeah, they don't think it can go bad, so they're sitting there.
	Oh, you know what's really going to hold its value?
	My Charizard.
	In a time of plenty in a time of excess, yes, your Charizard might continue to hold its you know $5,000, $10,000 value.
	If the market collapses, no one is going to be buying your Charizard.
	Yeah, or your baseball cards or whatever.
	Yeah.
	It is crazy.
	My tulip bulbs.
	I wonder if you can eat those tulip bulbs.
	So yeah, somebody did probably.
	Well, there's a little bit of hope in all of this.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene is now torching Trump's tariffs and his corruption at the same time.
	So she has seen the light, and good for her, she's developing a spine and uh getting integrity here, just like uh Thomas Massey.
	She joined Thomas Massey's been very outspoken about this Epstein stuff.
	But she said, this shouldn't be about helping your crypto donors.
	That's exactly what he has made it.
	Uh so she said that these are all attempts to enrich his crypto donors.
	She said this during a recent conversation with comedian Tim Dylan.
	And I'm talking to major manufacturing companies that are saying we support the president, we support what he's trying, his long-term goals, but we have a problem with these tariffs.
	Let me just say that the devil's not just in the details.
	The devil is in the way that you achieve your goals, right?
	The end does not justify the means.
	So we can agree with Trump on the end, and we can adamantly and must adamantly oppose the means that he's trying to accomplish with all of these things.
	Whether you're talking about the border and immigration flood, or you're talking about the um the outflow of wealth and manufacturing uh out of this country.
	Uh in the first place, uh, we don't want a centrally planned economy.
	And if we want a centrally planned economy, he ain't the guy to do it.
	He bankrupted half a dozen casinos.
	So uh he's a lucky loser, as the book said.
	And I got him so angry that he sued him for 15 billion dollars because it was spot on with the truth.
	She goes on to say, Marjorie Teller Green says, um, it shouldn't be about helping your crypto donors or your AI donors or welcoming in these people that hated you and spent money trying to beat you.
	But all of a sudden, uh you're excited to come they're excited to come to the news ro new Rose Garden patio.
	That should not be the focus.
	Well, she's spot on.
	She's the the focus is is new ballroom and the rose garden patio, right?
	Even when somebody asked about Charlie Cook.
	Well, yeah, uh, that's really bad.
	But hey, did I tell you about my uh my new ballroom plans that are here?
	Very, very sad.
	What's that sad?
	My ballroom, the best ballroom.
	Gonna be great.
	She said the focus should be on the people that showed up at the rallies, who stood there for 18 hours trying to get in in the rain and the cold and the hundred degree heat.
	For those people, those are the ones that I care about.
	Those are the ones that voted for not only President Trump, but for every single Republican and gave us power.
	I don't think those people are being served.
	Well, she's exactly right.
	Uh these are the kind of people who were served uh who had warrants served on them after the first Trump term.
	As I've said, for all of that was the biggest betrayal of his own supporters with Alex Jones and Stop the Steal and his Save America grift, where he made 250 million dollars.
	Then set these people up, and he just was tweeting about this and says there has to be some kind of a payback for this.
	And people said, uh, wait a minute, do you realize you were the president when that happened?
	He's talking about Biden as if Biden pulled off January the 6th.
	Biden pulled off the punishment that was clearly coming, and uh not to say that any of it was justified, but Trump left his own supporters.
	Not only did he lure them in, fleece them of their money, and then lure them into this uh to this setup, but then he left them to be punished by Biden, refusing to pardon them before he left.
	He was too busy pardoning the crooks associated with uh Jared Kushner's family.
	And so um, yeah, she's very strong, her statements against it, and she's a hundred percent right.
	We're gonna take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.
	Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against the real economic oppression.
	In our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
	It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
	The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
	Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	Alright, alright, alright!
	Alright, alright, alright!
	Alright, alright!
	Liberty.
	It's your move.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America.
	I could dress better.
	And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray McGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gallus and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.com or get the APS radio app and never miss another story.
	Well, as I said at the beginning of the program, one of the things that concerns me is that Trump supporters, I don't know if it's Trump supporters of its Trump bots, but they're using OpenAI's Sora to generate AI videos of soldiers assaulting protesters because they want this.
	And again, I don't know how much of this is influencers, I don't know how much of this is mob mentality, and how much of it are bots that are controlled by the Trump people.
	But it thoroughly disgusted me.
	I'm going to show you one of these things.
	Videos created using OpenAI's Sora 2 depict soldiers assaulting protesters, fueling a narrative of widespread violence.
	However, the violent crime in the U.S. is at its lowest in decades in contradiction of this narrative.
	So here's what it looks like.
	This is what uh I I call it instead of martial law, I call it MAGA law.
	Because uh MAGA doesn't have any respect for the law for constitution.
	They know and care as little about the law and constitution due process as they know and care about politics and about Trump's personal life.
	So here's the kind of garbage AI slop these people are putting out to cheer.
	No no cheese!
	No case, don't no cheese!
	You hear me?
	No case, don't no chief!
	Get back!
	No!
	Oh my eyes!
	Oh, I can't see, I can't see!
	Yes, no, no, cheese!
	No case out!
	No teeth!
	No case out!
	No tea!
	Back it up!
	Back it out!
	No cheese!
	Yeah, and these people reply and say, that was beautiful.
	You think that's beautiful?
	Wait till they do it to you.
	And before you ask, I voted for this.
	That's why I oppose MAGA.
	I have absolutely nothing to say to these people.
	They are clueless, useful idiots.
	To take Trump's word for it, America's cities are in rains, forcing him to deploy federal troops to Portland, DC, and Memphis.
	But no one seems to be able to find any real evidence of the mass riots and the anarchist violence that Trump and his supporters insist is destroying the nation.
	Luckily for them, that problem is easily solved with a little help from AI.
	So, hey, if it's not there for real, you can just create a fantasy world to support what Trump is saying.
	So this was first flagged by Gizmoto, which reported a concerning rise in AI generated pro-Trump propaganda since release of OpenAI's Sora 2, which is capable of spitting out short, photorealistic clips, along with sound as well, as you noticed.
	Gizmoto notes how one clip showing a protester harassing a U.S. National Guardsman before getting pepper sprayed went viral on Instagram, notching nearly one and a half million likes.
	One and a half million likes.
	I detest that.
	I absolutely detest that.
	In the first place.
	I don't care what the person is saying.
	You know, and they have them saying something uh you know that was um no no nachos, no cheese or something.
	What was it?
	Uh no queso.
	No queso, no cheese or something, yeah.
	Anyway, um, but but whatever they're saying to that National Guardsman, that does not give him the right to pepper sway them in the face.
	When you support that, then what you're saying is, I don't like your speech.
	Your speech is hateful, your speech is violence.
	And the MAGA people are no different from the left, folks.
	We don't want to have anything to do with either of those sides.
	They they are mere image of each other.
	They come at it from different directions.
	It's like the Nazi fascists versus the Soviet communists.
	You don't want to be on either side.
	They're both horrible.
	And they're just coming at it with a different justification.
	So had one and a half million likes, 40 million views.
	Can you imagine that?
	Liking that.
	And the comments are making it clear.
	Best video I saw today.
	Uh, let's see more of these scumbags being taken down.
	I love a feel-good video like this.
	Another one, um, another poster on X uploaded an AI-generated video montage of various protesters hollering, hollering in the police officers' faces.
	No queso, no cheese, which I just showed you there.
	Um, and again, I voted for this, said one of them.
	Well, I saw that, and that disgusted me.
	So here is my take on all this stuff, if I can find it.
	Let's see, here it is.
	There's Trump's own meme.
	sees himself as Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now.
	This is the end.
	Yeah, burn the Constitution.
	burn everything else No safety no surprise the Trump wants.
	That was his meme that started with.
	Again.
	It's a very unsafe crisis, and we're going to straighten that one by one.
	They're saying you're trying to take over the republic.
	And this is gonna be a major part for some of the people in this room.
	That's a war, too.
	It's a war from within.
	I told Pete.
	We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.
	Yeah, that's what the military's going to look like right there.
	Can you pitch your what the free?
	Desperate strangers have it.
	desperate land.
	Oh, look.
	Chicken goats.
	That must be Gates'farm.
	Genetic modification's gone wild.
	Genetic modification's gone wild.
	Yeah, chicken goats.
	Now, do they lay eggs or give wool or both?
	How about that?
	So they're drumming up consent, and they've got an army of people using uh AI to uh drum this up, and people love that.
	It's red meat to them.
	Um a campaign that Trump happily calls a war.
	A war within.
	Uh this is from Mediaite, which is uh left wing in opposition to Trump.
	The quiet coup, how Trump is undermining democracy from within.
	America is not drifting towards authoritarianism.
	It has already arrived quietly, bureaucratically, almost politely.
	And it's what the Trump supporters want.
	It's what they voted for.
	It really is what they voted for.
	After 2020, don't tell me that the people who voted for Trump, the influencers who supported him, didn't want this because he did it already.
	The crowds a chance, the carnival aggrievance.
	That was just Act One.
	Act two, the show has moved backstage and the footlights are off.
	The machinery Homs and Trump, who once ruled by impulse, now governs through the design.
	Well, the question is, we're gonna talk about this in just a second.
	Whose design?
	Is it his?
	Is it Peter Thiels?
	Is it Curtis Jarvin?
	Is it the technocracy's design?
	Or the UN.
	He's learned how to run it.
	After two terms of cultural conditioning, the American public has been anesthesized by the permanent adrenaline of outrage.
	Every assault on uh legal norms and constitutional norms lands as deja vu.
	Now he writes things like democratic norms.
	America is not a democracy.
	It's a republic.
	It's a constitutional republic with rules of law.
	That's what's being attacked here.
	Uh he's not doing anything with the elections.
	What's being attacked is the constitution, folks.
	That's what the left doesn't see.
	What once felt like a scandal now feels like weather, because it just keeps coming.
	The central project of Trump's second term is not ideological but architectural.
	The systematic capture of the federal government.
	Very much like what FDR did in the last fourth turning.
	It's exactly what he's doing.
	And yet, the difference is as much as FDR changed things, he had opposition within his own party, saying, We agree with where you want to go, but the way you're doing it, we don't support.
	Because remember, this is back at a time when if they wanted to prohibit something like alcohol, they had enough respect for the constitution and the rule of law that they would pass a constitutional amendment.
	No such thing exists anymore.
	Nobody cares about the rule of law.
	So Russ Voigt, the OMB director, uh, is basically the chief mechanic of this new order.
	He invoked emergency powers to lay off thousands of civil servants.
	They're very friendly and media-ite towards a bureaucrats.
	Uh entire agencies were hollowed out under the pretense of fiscal discipline.
	Inspectors general, ethics officers, policy staffers, those dull, indispensable sentinels of accountability were shown the door.
	I don't see them as uh sentinels of accountability.
	But what I think is dangerous here, and I said this when when uh Elon Musk was using Doge to fire people and replace them with AI.
	What is what they're removing is the human factor.
	And when you move the human factor and you automate the machinery of this, you are maximizing governance.
	You may be minimizing human headcount and government, and you may be getting a lot of get rid of a lot of people that uh the rest of us don't like the DMV or the federal equivalence of it in so many different areas of our life, but you're still at some level uh dealing with humans, and you may find somebody who has sympathy for what is happening to you, what they're doing to you.
	And they may also blow the whistle when they see uh things that are being done wrong.
	That is not going to happen once they automate it with AI.
	That's the key issue here.
	That's total governance.
	And it removes the human factors.
	The same reason that we talk about autonomous killing machines, right?
	We can have these undeclared, unjustified wars all the time, but what happens is when you got real soldiers out there, sometimes they'll come back and they'll tell you what's really going on.
	Some of them will, and uh that can be used to turn things around, or maybe they won't follow the orders that they are given.
	That's not the case when you've got robotic machines that are going to be doing the killing.
	And uh that's not going to be the case when you've got robotic machines that are going to be doing the bureaucratic functions that the federal government doesn't have any authority for in the first place.
	So the project 2025's design was to replace neutral expertise with partisan obedience, writes Media.
	Well, I disagree.
	I don't think uh that uh, you know, the the bureaucracy was expertise.
	Or neutral for that matter.
	Or neutral, yeah.
	It was uh it was neutral to them because they were on the same side, but uh I didn't see expertise at all in that.
	But it is the demolition, he got this right, the demolition of the constitutional balance between Congress and the executive, between law and loyalty.
	Power now emanates not from deliberation, but from decree.
	And I've said this myself from the very beginning.
	This is about setting up an autocracy, a dictatorship.
	He declares the emergency and then declares now that it's an emergency, I can do whatever I want.
	Uh it's just a little two-step formality there.
	That's nonsense.
	Trump's deployment of federal forces in cities like Washington, Chicago, and Portland under the fiction of crime emergencies has normalized the site of domestic militarization.
	That's a key part of this.
	This is the um just like you did with the lockdown stuff, right?
	Uh this is normalizing people for that.
	Just like he did with the stimulus checks, that was normalizing UBI.
	This is normalizing the military on the streets.
	That is Trump's purpose as a Trump precedent.
	Courts hesitate, Congress sputters, and the White House learns a lesson that if you act as though you have the authority, eventually you do.
	You can fake the authority until you make the authority.
	None of this looks like a coup, it looks like an im like administration, and that's what makes it so effective.
	The press, the courts, elections are still there, yet their cumulative weight feels diminished, like background institutions orbiting a single gravitational center.
	You don't need to destroy a democracy to control it.
	You only need to occupy it from within.
	Keep the noise loud, keep the lights bright, and the public too weary to parse the details.
	And you keep a mob of fanatical supporters there.
	You know, this is MAGA is his brown shirts that are out there, telling keep keeping people in line, keeping the politicians in line.
	They're totally afraid of this guy.
	That's what's really concerning.
	Governance becomes spectacle, and spectacle becomes governance.
	And the population learns to confuse fatigue with normalcy.
	And to what end?
	Some may say that this is merely a political uh policy disagreement, that Trump favors smaller government, fewer regulations, and a market-friendly redistribution of resources.
	But the danger is not that the administration pursues conservative goals.
	It is how these policies are implemented, through emergency powers, through bureaucratic purges, and through centralized control.
	Power is being wielded to consolidate power and wealth, to bypass oversight and to weaken the structural checks that make the American Republic resilient.
	And that's what Marjorie Taylor Green was saying.
	He said, this shouldn't be run for the benefit of your donors.
	And that's exactly what it's about.
	It's about consolidating power for Trump and consolidating wealth for Trump and his donors.
	This is destabilization.
	It is weaponizing government to serve extreme wealth accumulation.
	The logical consequences of such systemic enrichment is unrest.
	And if left unchecked, it may provoke revolutionary pressures.
	The stakes are nothing less than the preservation of the Republic and the rule of law.
	By weakening the civil service, militarizing urban centers, and consolidating power within the executive branch, Trump is laying the groundwork for a presidency that is not merely strong, but a total fusion of state, party, and personal enrichment.
	The public's focus on daily scandals obscures the more insidious threats to democracy unfolding behind the scenes.
	And yes, Trump is great at providing one scandal after the other, isn't he?
	David Carr once wrote that journalism's purpose was to quote, name the thing.
	Well, the thing is now authoritarianism, cloaked in legality, spectacle, and distraction.
	And while the noise keeps rolling, the country risks awakening too late to the magnitude of what has been quietly stolen.
	And we know what is being stolen.
	Even now, Karl Rove comes in, and of course he was George W. Bush's political analyst.
	That's the way he looked at this.
	So he looks at the polls.
	And he said over the weekend on Fox News, he said that this latest National Guard gambit is bad policies, that it is a loser.
	He said he warned Trump that his effort to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Chicago is bad politics.
	During an appearance on the journal editorial report on Saturday, Wall Street Journal, and Paul Gigo, who was interviewing him.
	And so he asked Rove about this.
	He said, if you take a look at the Reuters ICE poll, 58% of those surveyed said they believe that you should send troops only for external threats.
	However, the Republicans are 51%, Democrats 72%, and independents 53%.
	But if you look deeper, there's another question, which was should the president send troops, even if a governor objects.
	That was 37% yes, 48% no, and it was 70 to 80, 70 to 18 among Republicans.
	And it was 13 to 79 among Democrats, and 28 to 50 among independents.
	So we don't like him.
	We believe that he shouldn't deploy.
	If a governor objects, though, the partisanship seems starts to be felt.
	Republicans say yeah, override the governor.
	Democrats say no, and independents tend to side with the Democrat voters and say no, I don't think that should happen.
	Rove said, this ultimately I think will tend to be a loser if the question is, should the president do this or should he have done it?
	On the other hand, it might get him a slight improvement among the people saying who are concerned about crime and saying, well, at least he's taking action.
	But overall, I think this is going to end up being a loser for the president.
	I'm not so sure that he's got that right.
	Because as I said, you know, I think assuming that stuff is coming from some people in his base, I would assume it's probably coming from his meme factory.
	You know that the Republicans and the people around Trump are working on that very hard, and I think for seeing a lot of uh things like that cheering uh police brutality, and that is uh that video there was police brutality.
	Regardless of what you say to the police, you have a right to peacefully redress your grievances, and they don't have a right to retaliate to you.
	Uh that is the wrong thing for the government to do.
	On January the 6th, uh that's what happened.
	A lot of people said, well, the police kicked this off.
	We were having a protest and they started attacking people.
	Yeah, they understood it when it happened to them, but only when it happens to them do they understand it.
	They don't understand the principle involved, because immediately they turn around and support this.
	Because regardless of who created that, you had one and a half million people who liked that.
	He's making the case, and certainly his lawyers are in court, that these National Guard troops are there to protect federal buildings and to protect the ICE agents that are doing their job.
	Because you've got the governor and the mayor, the governor of Illinois, the mayor of Chicago, saying we're not going to cooperate with ICE.
	So he says, I mean there's a kind of logic to what he's doing to try to protect these agents.
	That's Paul Giga saying that to Rogue.
	Uh rogue.
	Carl Rove.
	Called him Carl Rogue for so long.
	Anyway, um, so the reality is is that the principle that local uh uh officials do not have to cooperate with the federal government has been endorsed by the by the Supreme Court.
	Uh whether or not they endorsed it or not, that is constitutional.
	We have a separation of powers.
	And what the Trump administration is now doing is treating that established principle of non-cooperation, that principle of nullification, which are really part of the Tenth Amendment, uh, the Trump administration is now treating that as if that were an insurrection, as if that were somehow secession or something.
	So always in the past we said, yeah, like Marjorie Teller Green said, I think we need a national divorce.
	I said, Well, the problem is you're married to an abusive husband, the federal government.
	And so in the past, if you wanted to declare that you were independent and have a divorce, um you uh are inviting attack from the federal government.
	Now Trump has moved the needle so that if you just don't obey this abusive husband and everything, he's got a right to beat you.
	That's the reality of this.
	And so Rove says, well, look, he has the authority to deploy the National Guard to protect federal facilities.
	I think the public, though, is going to look at this and make a decision as to whether or not what they're seeing during the summer of 2020 and riots in Portland, nightly attacks on the federal courthouse.
	Or is this going to be, you know, protesters outside a facility in suburban Chicago?
	Let me just say, you know, he says, all right, so we know what happened in 2020.
	There were a lot of riots.
	Now the left called it mostly peaceful.
	But they're burning stuff up.
	It was really out of control.
	And a lot of people were calling on Trump to do something about it then, and he did nothing.
	So now we have something that is much, much uh less that there's nothing at all going on like that.
	This is just the usual stuff in Chicago or these big cities, usual crime, and that people there are content to live with because they don't want to change the government there or move out.
	So that is this has been the status quo for quite some time.
	It's not an emergency, nothing has changed.
	And you don't have the kind of riots that we did in the summer of 2020 when Trump did nothing.
	So how could he argue that this is an emergency that requires the federal government to do something about it?
	His own experiences on administration before this argues against his own actions that he's doing here.
	So he says, if it heats up, yeah, the president's going to look better, but if it doesn't heat up, if it really is just sort of meeting the needs of the uh protecting the federal facilities, I'm not certain that that's going to work to his advantage.
	Uh we saw this a little bit in Portland, where the president was asked about, and he said, Well, you know, I am hearing that there are fires and riots and lots of violence every night.
	I don't know where he's getting that, because that's not what we're seeing on Portland TV.
	Maybe he's looking at these um the Sora II AI stuff that people are creating.
	Uh maybe that's the reality.
	They're feeling Trump a nonstop diet of fake videos.
	Yeah.
	So reason is looking at the legality of this insurrection act.
	Um, regardless of whether or not they they kind of skip over the fundamental question as to whether or not that's constitutional.
	But they just assume that that's a legitimate thing.
	Even if it were a legitimate thing, Trump is using it illegitimately.
	That's how far down the rabbit hole we've gone there, down the drain, I should say.
	Um he can uh resort to an alarmingly broad statue that gives him more discretion, even if the courts try to enforce limits on what he's doing with the military deployment.
	On Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago, saying there's no credible evidence that conditions there meet the terms of the statute on which he was relying.
	That decision came less than a week after another federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against a similar deployment in Portland.
	Meanwhile, at a hearing on Thursday, in the latter case, the a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court seemed inclined to allow the Portland deployment.
	That's not good.
	That's especially not good because this is the Ninth Circuit Court.
	They typically are on the left, and of course they're politicized.
	It's not just their perspective on things.
	The law he is invoking, which is uh U.S. Code uh 12406, says the president may call into federal service members and units of the National Guard of any state in response to a foreign invasion, an actual or incipient rebellion against the federal government, or conditions in which he is unable to enforce federal law with regular forces.
	Trump says that those last two conditions exist in Portland and in Chicago.
	But if the courts get in Trump's way, he can always resort to the alarmingly broad insurrection act.
	Again, it's an act.
	It's not uh you know, any act or laws that are put in by the const uh by the Congress can be in violation of the Constitution, and I think it is in violation of the Tenth Amendment.
	Uh it gives them more discretion to deploy the military for law enforcement purposes.
	Trump says the courts have no role at all in reviewing his determination.
	Uh that would leave him free to deploy the National Guard wherever and whenever he likes, regardless of the constraints imposed by Congress.
	I remember when Al Gore made the statement, there's no controlling legal authority here.
	And that was borderline taken out of context, but it really was uh what he believed.
	But this is literally what Trump is saying over and over again.
	I can do whatever I want, you have no authority, I'm the only one with any authority.
	Right?
	Congress doesn't have any authority, the courts don't have any authority, and the Constitution has no authority for Trump.
	So the Ninth Circuit Court rejected the argument that his uh use of Section 12406 is completely insulated from judicial review.
	However, when this came up before in terms of the LA deployment, uh the court kind of said, Well, we still have oversight, but we're not going to fight you on this.
	So they capitulated to him to avoid a fight.
	And uh so it kind of shows you that nobody has the guts to stand up to.
	That's why it's good for Marjorie Taylor Green that she would stand up to this guy.
	The courts are afraid of him.
	Certainly Mouse Johnson is afraid of him, uh, the squeaker mouse Johnson.
	Yeah, it's incredibly surprising for it to be Marjorie Taylor Green that's actually standing up and saying something.
	Mm-hmm.
	Just wouldn't have bet it wouldn't have bet on that out.
	Well, I had just written her off as another sycophant because look.
	We all saw this in one form or the other five years ago in 2020.
	2020, all of this stuff was done all at once.
	That's why I say anybody that would still support this guy.
	I just don't understand it at all.
	But good for her.
	Uh she has uh had enough, evidently, of this.
	Yeah, after I don't know what it was that changed her mind, but uh at minimum, you would have to look at it and go, okay, he is so incompetent and stupid that he's a massive threat and cannot be put back into office.
	Yeah.
	Well, that was the defense of a lot of these people.
	Well, it wasn't Trump, it was the deep state, and they were fooling him, and it's like, so you want this guy back?
	Ah, good.
	A fool.
	Just what we need.
	I said, no, you know, whether he's a fool or a tool, or whether this is his idea, you know, a tool of the technocrats.
	Uh anyway, applying the same test last Saturday, uh the U.S. District Judge Karen Emmergut, who was um appointed by Trump, concluded that Trump's assessment of the situation in Portland was, quote, simply untethered to the facts.
	Yes, as uh usually his statements are.
	From June 11th through June 25th, he she acknowledged the protests at Portland's immigration and custom enforcement building included violent behavior and required increased law enforcement presence.
	But since then she noted the protests have dwindled to twenty or fewer people and were generally peaceful, with only sporadic incidences of violence and disruptive behavior.
	But here's the key.
	It can be and should be addressed with normal law enforcement.
	It does not require the over the top response of sending in the military.
	By late September, when Trump decided the National Guard was necessary to protect war ravaged Portland, that's his terms, from quote, domestic terrorists, unquote.
	The situation was categorically different from the violent incidents that the government had described in LA, she said.
	She noted that the government cited only four incidents of protesters clashing with federal officers in September, including the erection of a makeshift guillotine, flashlights shone into the eyes of drivers at the ICE facility, and an online photograph of an unmarked ice vehicle.
	Again, this is uh the kind of you know manufactured hysteria that we saw from the Biden administration about January the 6th.
	Instead of a guillotine, somebody put up a gallows with a hangman's noose in it.
	And um, you know, they they use any pretense like this to escalate things.
	She said, while these incidents are inexcusable, they can be handled by regular law enforcement forces.
	She said, neither violence in a different state nor the more potential for future escalation can provide a colorable basis for invoking Section 12406.
	That argument, she said, would render meaningless the statute's quote, extraordinary requirements, allowing the president to federalize one state's National Guard based on events in a different state or mere speculation about future events.
	During the Ninth Circuit Court's hearing on Thursday, uh one judge was notably skeptical of her reasoning.
	He said, applying that test to the Civil War, he said, I'm not sure that, even sure that President Lincoln would have been able to bring in forces when he did, unless Lincoln acted immediately after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter.
	Well, that would have been a good thing.
	Uh actually, if you go back and read Shelby Foote's uh history of the Civil War, and he spent twenty years on that.
	And uh he, I think is by far and away the best analysis of the Civil War.
	But he said that it was a deliberate provocation to make sure that he had the justification.
	He didn't want to be seen as the aggressor.
	And so it was a deliberate provocation.
	He had probed a lot of different places to uh go in and try to provoke the people, the the different states that had seceded, and that he determined that uh South Carolina was the one that they were most likely to uh take a uh a violent response to, so that's where he went.
	There's also the fact that just it was a win-win.
	Either they do something about it and he gets justification, or he's able to build up enough troops there that, you know, maybe he becomes the aggressor, but at that point it's just a flat out, I've got enough people here right now to conquer this area immediately.
	But I think it's interesting too that the judge goes back to the civil war.
	And because that's what we're seeing here.
	It's a fourth turning.
	So what Trump is doing is structurally he's doing what FDR did in the last fourth turning, and then with the military aspect of this, he's doing what Lincoln did and the uh fourth turning before that.
	What'd you say, Lance?
	Yeah, I was just gonna say it's also odd that he would point to this as though it were an argument in favor, saying that if this law had been passed, the civil war wouldn't have happened, as though that's an argument or the uh law not to be passed.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, you arguing would have been, okay, things have de-escalated now, so we don't have to have a civil war.
	No, we want to have that civil war, right?
	So Emmergoot also rejected Trump's assertion that he was facing a rebellion, or the danger of a rebellion in Portland.
	So yeah, it may not be it may not be this yet, but it's going to be that.
	And so I'm going to do this in anticipation of it becoming that.
	Here we have in test and test anticipatory invasion, I guess.
	Which is the way we fight our wars, isn't it?
	You know, it's like, well, they're not attacking us now, but they could, and if looks could kill, it would be us instead of them, right?
	So her analysis relied on Breyer's historically informed understanding of the term rebellion.
	Briar said or she said, first a rebellion must not only be violent, but must also be armed.
	Second, a rebellion must be organized.
	Third, a rebellion must be open and avowed, and fourth, a rebellion must be against the government as a whole, often with the aim of overthrowing the government rather than in opposition to a single law or issue.
	So applying that definition, the Trump appointed judge, Immergut, concluded that the protests in Portland were not a rebellion, did not pose a danger of a rebellion, especially in the days leading up to the federalization of sending in the troops.
	So another judge Chaffin, uh rather, uh this is not uh judge someone who's arguing the case, told the Ninth Circuit panel that the appropriate definition of rebellion is an open organized armed resistance to an established government or an attempt to change the government or the leader, usually through violence.
	And um, so um the Ninth Circuit Court, however, does not seem to be uh buying these arguments.
	On the same day that the Ninth Circuit considered the Portland deployment, a U.S. district judge, April Perry, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order against the deployment in Illinois, echoing Emmergoot, who was appointed by Trump, Perry, who was appointed by Biden, said the Trump administration's perception of events, quote unquote, in the Chicago area is quote, simply unreliable, unquote.
	She suggested that calling up the National Guard would, quote, only add fuel to the fire that defendants themselves have started.
	Well, that's what we see happening over and over again, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	This uh scenario in which you're saying reminded me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, quote about diplomacy and the stages of war.
	So it goes retribution, because you know, I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
	Anticipation, I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother, and then there's diplomacy.
	I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it.
	And it's just this, you know, diplomacy is this web of nonsense.
	You know, you've spun out so many lies and you're justifying everything based on it.
	Just right.
	So Trump had a bizarre rant on social media about Biden in January 6th, screaming, do something all uppercase.
	Just after midnight on Sunday morning, he released onto his social media platform a screed in which he claimed that the Biden FBI placed 274 agents in the crowd on January the 6th, when Trump himself was still president.
	It wasn't the Biden FBI.
	And I've said this all along to the people, even the people who went to jail for years and uh were so excited that Trump finally pardoned them when he could have done it before they ever got harassed in the first place.
	But I also said from the very beginning of this, I said, this is not only a grift, you know, Trump made 250 million dollars, have no idea how much Alex Jones made off a stop the steal.
	But they fleeced these people, they endangered these people, and then Trump left them to face the consequences from Biden.
	And I said it's going to be agent provocators, you're being set up if you go there, and they're not only going to be setting you up and sending you to jail, they're going to be using this to come after the entire conservative movement, even those of us who don't support Trump.
	The president took his social media site, took the social media site, The Dead of Night, to write uppercase, all uppercase.
	The Biden FBI placed 274 agents in the crowd on January the sixth.
	This is when Trump was president, and still contesting the election results.
	He added, if this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.
	What a now all upper case.
	Scam.
	Do something.
	President DJT.
	Thank you for your attention, I guess.
	He didn't write that this time, I don't know.
	Yeah, what is missing?
	President Biden gonna do something.
	Yeah.
	This is um i his spell is so strong over these people that he can even claim that Biden was pulling the strings when he was president.
	Of course, the reality is is that the same people were pulling the strings, whether Trump was president or Biden was president, and they're using these two stooges as a left-right feint, the march of tyranny.
	Maybe you meant to say Netanyahu's FBI.
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	Well, a lot of billionaires are preparing for the end of society.
	Maybe you should too.
	What is it that they are afraid of?
	Well, uh futurism says these guys are investing in bunkers, guns, and gold, and uh for societal collapse.
	The Tex Billionaires tech billionaires are still doomsday prepping.
	And as the BBC reports, it seems that AI is making some of them more paranoid than ever.
	The society as we know it may soon crumble.
	Well, I think there's a couple of things going on with this.
	I think uh society as we know it may soon crumble with this fourth turning.
	I think they see that.
	Uh I think a lot of people see it that don't want to use that term, even though they use all the generational uh uh you know prospective millennials and so forth that were uh part of that thesis and the qu the words that they coined.
	However, I think they're also looking at uh what Hugo de Guerris characterized as the Artelect War, Artificial Intelligence War.
	He had said um, I guess it was maybe about a decade or so ago when I was interviewing Hugo, and uh I don't see the book here, but um anyway, the book is out of print, it's pretty valuable now.
	Uh I just don't want to sell it yet.
	But in that, he you know, it's two uh the book basically had two premises.
	Number one, Hugo uh was not a Christian, and so he believed that if you could create an exact replica of the brain, it would come to life.
	And it's like, no, that's not what it is.
	It's that spark of life that comes from God alone.
	Um, you know, when you smash mosquito on your hand, right?
	Uh all the elements of that mosquito are still there.
	All the physical elements of that mosquito are there.
	But somehow you've disassembled it and there's that spark of life is gone.
	And you can sit there and stare at that uh those ingredients for a million years and it'll never assemble itself into mosquito.
	You know, that is so you you can create an exact replica of the brain and it will never become conscious.
	But my that was my difference that I had with him.
	His other thing was uh that he took a very negative uh contrarian point of view about AI.
	It was in contrast to Ray Kurzweil's Pollyanovision.
	Ray Kurzweil thinks that it's a good thing that we're going to create um they think that they're going to create a godlike intelligence.
	Ray Kurzweil thought that was a good thing, and uh Hugo de Guerris was one of the first people to come out and say that's a bad thing.
	It'll squash us like a bug.
	And uh so he would ask that question to different communities of scientists when he would speak on AI, because he's one of the early experts on AI, and he would ask them, if you knew that you were going to create something that was going to wipe out humanity, would you still do it?
	And most of the people, the scientists and engineers they talked to said yes, they would.
	And uh, as I said before, the only time that he first time that he ever got a first and only time they ever got a negative response from the audience was when he addressed a Christian audience.
	Isn't that interesting?
	However, the other part of his book was about the fact that once people catch the idea of what AI is going to do to society, which we're at that point right now.
	He said that it's gonna be a massive pushback against the people building this.
	And he said they're going to take to uh, you know, the defending themselves.
	Uh he thought, I think that uh they might be a little bit more a little bit further along than they are right now.
	He he his idea was that they would uh take to near Earth orbit, like the thing that you see in Elysium, and so he called them cosmists, and he called those of us left behind on earth Terrans, and he said the cosmists would have uh technology at their disposal that they could unleash gigadeth, billions of people killed on us.
	I think it'll take the form of some kind of a you know fake pandemic and uh a bioweapon injection like Trump did Or uh the um uh some some kind of a war that they will engineer here.
	I think rather than waging war on us themselves, they will take control of people like Trump and bring on a world war, and uh and then uh that's I think what they're looking at right now.
	Uh but they're also aware that there's a lot of momentum building against them, the same scenario that Hugo de Guerrera's talked about in the Artelic War.
	Uh in 2023, Zuckerberg was breaking ground in roughly 5,000 square foot underground basement facility that he characterized as just a little shelter, definitely not a doomsday bunker.
	Yeah, 5,000 square foot for him is just a little little shelter.
	Yeah.
	Barely any room at all.
	Yeah.
	These days, the race for AI dominance has ignited a new wave of existential fear among the tech elite.
	Or is it that they see the fourth turning coming?
	It could be a combination of both of those things, I think.
	Uh so an AI system that's generally more intelligent than humans will send human society into irreparable chaos.
	The art like war idea.
	Uh although it could be that um could be that the AI purveyors are just a little bit more intelligent than the people who are buying their product, and uh that's all that's necessary to create all kinds of economic chaos.
	Uh so um one of these guys said, we're definitely going to build a bunker before we release artificial general intelligence.
	Altman, for instance, is known to have a stockpile of guns and gold in his bunker.
	Uh he has sprawling properties and other resources that he can turn to in the event of an AI inflicted Armageddon, or in the event of a societal breakdown, or in the event of people figuring out what these con men are actually doing.
	Remember, it was Bloomberg when he was running for president, said, you know, we're trying to take their jobs and we've got to figure out how we're going to stop them from coming after us with a guillotine.
	So we'll use universal basic income.
	And Trump was helping to set the precedent for that in 2020 with the stimulus checks as well.
	AI also doesn't have to be conscious or achieve human level intelligence in order to create chaos in our social world.
	And in our financial world either.
	This AI bubble could do it all on its own.
	But where are these people really going?
	Uh there's an excellent, very, very long article that we don't have the time to go into fully that's on the Free Thought Project that came from Unlimited Hangout.
	And the uh title of it is uh City States Without Limits, Part One.
	And this is about 40 or 50 pages long, and this is just part one.
	So I would uh highly I'm gonna try to hit some of the high points here.
	But you know, the interesting thing is when I was putting together that that AI thing about uh Trump's apocalypse, there was um one uh clip that I was going to use in it, and uh Lance looked at it and he says, no, yeah, it's basically a bunch of robots walking down an aisle with humans and uh cattle car type things, reaching out with their hands.
	And uh I'll show you, that's what it looks like right here.
	Yeah, right there.
	And uh he said, no, I think what's going to happen is uh you're going to have people say, yeah, but I want deportations.
	That wasn't my idea with that.
	My idea with that was that uh that's the future for all of us.
	They want to lock us up in these cities.
	So they call them freedom cities, which is what Trump calls them, where they call them smart cities or 15 minute cities.
	They want to limit us into these different places and take everything from us.
	But I agreed with them.
	I said, yeah, that's going to undercut this because you've got so many people who say, well, I agree with the goals of deportation.
	And so because of that, I will go along with whatever means Trump uses.
	And I said, uh, yeah, you're right.
	Uh it's that far gone that people would actually uh say, no, I want that.
	Isn't that kind of concerning?
	It concerns me when I think about that.
	And I think he's absolutely right.
	I think this is the way people would interpret that.
	Well, the intention is for these city-states to form a patchwork of realms overseen by regional balance of power and a global governance system, a multipolar world order.
	And so the Trump administration, along with these Silicon Valley oligarchs are pushing for the construction of privatized city states.
	This has been something that's been the dream of libertarians for a very long time.
	Uh, you know, going back to the 80s or 90s, there were people who wanted to do seasteading and get into international waters and create a floating city so they could get away from government.
	I share that impulse.
	I would love to get away from government myself.
	But when you look at the way these people are taking that basic impulse and they're shifting it, when you look at the statements from people like Curtis Yarvin, you start to see where this is maybe heading in a direction that we don't want to have as libertarians.
	New city-states, some of them being constructed from scratch, others being seeded into existing cities, go by many names.
	In the U.S., Trump has called them freedom cities.
	The U.N. refers to them as human settlements.
	The C forty people, that's the network that started by Sidiq Khan and Michael Bloomberg.
	They call them 15 minute cities.
	The Global Parliament of Mayors refers to them as resilient cities, and the Charter Cities Institute calls them unsurprisingly, charter cities.
	Some of these are already close to being completed as smart cities.
	Many of these new city-states, as yet undeclared, have been given independent jurisdiction with varying degrees of autonomy from the nation states in which they reside.
	The most striking shared trait is their universal commitment to implement global governance policy initiatives.
	That's the sustainable development goals that come from the UN.
	To this end, many nascent city-states have already joined city-based global governance networks.
	Some are currently being built in so-called special economic zones.
	Others announced city-state developments such as freedom cities in the U.S. bear all the hallmarks of these special economic zones.
	The global proliferation of the, again, special economic zones, I guess we could call them CES.
	That's the abbreviation.
	As in Simon says, or Trump says this, do that.
	Most notably those residential spaces is rapidly expanding the potential locations for yet more city-state projects.
	There are already thousands of them.
	The notion of phasing out the purported sovereignty of a nation-state is now firmly embedded in the strategies to develop a new kind of intergovernmental structure.
	So in other words, rather than imposing this from the top down, they might give us this global governance from the bottom up by creating these different cities.
	And already, when you look at the cities, they've they said, remember that Pentagon video that I played for you, they said, uh, yeah, this is where the war is going to be in the future.
	You're going to have tremendous concentration of people.
	You're going to have competing ethnic groups that are going to be there, and this is where the Pentagon is going to be operating.
	Trump is making that happen.
	The concept of a worldwide network of privatized corporate city-state kingdoms has been embraced and is viewed as the best and most expedient method, both for enslaving humanity to a centralized digital surveillance and a behavioral control grid, and for establishing firm global governance.
	In a previous two-part investigation for Unlimited Hangout called the Dark MAGA Government Corporate Technate that they also did in two parts, they said we also, this is on, let's see, the group that does this is Unlimited Hangout.
	They said they explored the so-called philosophy of the Dark Enlightenment.
	And of course, that is coming from the people in around Peter Thiel and all the technocrats.
	This is their philosophical treatise for the Technocrats.
	The Dark Enlightenment was a philosophical treatise first published by British political theorist and philosopher Nick Land in 2012.
	It incorporated the ideas espoused by U.S. thinker, tech entrepreneur, and blogger Curtis Yarvin.
	Yarvin's theories are especially loved by J.D. Vance as a disciple of Peter Thiel.
	Maybe not disciple, as a minion of Peter Till.
	And so yeah, it is Curtis Yarvin.
	If you want to get concerned about what the future looks like, pay attention to what he has to say.
	In the Dark Enlightenment, Land acknowledged the influence of Peter Thiel on the growth of his own ideas.
	Specifically referenced Thiel's 2009 article, The Education of a Libertarian as formative.
	Curtis Yarvin describes Thiel as, quote, fully enlightened, fully part of the dark enlightenment, this guy who is obsessed with global governance and who is obsessed with the antichrist and the idea that if you try to get in his way, and you are the antichrist.
	A close associate of Teal's and Teal's Founders Fund financed Yarvin's tech startup, Ventures.
	In essence, the Dark Enlightenment proposes the public sector government should be replaced with a form of private sector government.
	Privatized corporate realms should be ruled by the CEO techno-kings.
	That's what the term that they came up with sovereign corporations.
	They call them SovCore, to rule as dictatorships.
	The realms can then be linked to form what Yarvin termed a patchwork of realms.
	In 2008, he described his notion of the patchwork, and he wrote, The basic idea of patchwork is that the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, and they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, or thousands of sovereign, independent, many countries.
	Each governed by its own joint stock corporation without regard to the residents' opinions.
	Without regard to the opinions of the people that live there.
	See, that's the difference.
	Yeah.
	That's the difference, right?
	I mean, I I would like to have uh uh governance broken into smaller uh pieces, but still under the principles that this country was founded on, that we are created in the image of God, and that we have inalienable rights, and that we are not beyond freedom and dignity.
	These people buy into B. F. Skinner's uh behavioral psychological control thing a thousand percent.
	I mean, is this fundamentally any different from the Middle Ages system of lords and serfs?
	Not at all.
	Just a return to the old-fashioned system with a brand new coat of paint that they call the dark enlightenment and uh give it a techno coat.
	But uh it was always inevitable that it would get to this when tech when weapons became more centralized.
	Now it became centralized, so government will naturally follow.
	That's right.
	As a matter of fact, they point that out right here, uh just about to read that.
	Imagining what life was like for oppressed peasants living in the feudal society of medieval Europe is probably the best way to visualize the future the darkly enlightened technocrats have in mind for us, except they never had the kind of oversight and continual presence of uh government during the Middle Ages, like this technology will give them.
	Uh neither the they they have these um uh these new new reactionary, it's what they call them, NRX.
	Uh they're extremely authoritarian.
	The NRX model of government is disassociated from any notion of politics as we understand it.
	Thiel wrote in his influential 2009 article, the objective is to, quote, find an escape from politics and all of its forms.
	Uh so again, uh this is not try to fit these guys into our understanding of political philosophies, understand they're looking for something completely different.
	They don't want politics, they want dictatorships.
	Uh that's where this whole analogy falls uh falls apart.
	But it's an excellent article, and I'd highly recommend that you read it.
	But we're gonna stop here and take a break.
	Uh you want to cover some of the comments here?
	Let's grab Stealth Patriot and the rest when we come back.
	I want to say thank you very much, Stealth Patriot.
	We really do appreciate it again.
	It's contributions from listeners like y'all that keep us afloat, keep the show running.
	Says the Trumpsters keep cheering on the boot of the state to the face of their opponents, not realizing that the leather has been broken in for their face.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It's just amazing.
	Well, um, so you want to do the comments when we come back?
	Yes.
	Okay, we're gonna do that then.
	Uh we'll be right back, folks.
	Stay with us.

	upset about the fact that he didn't get the Nobel Prize.
	The Nobel Peace Prize.
	is something that he has coveted for quite some time well they should give me the nobel prize for rwanda and uh if you look the congo or i should have gotten it four or five times i should get it for the uh i would think the precious and so the people are saying i don't Norway better watch us back right now.
	What's he going to do?
	Is he going to start shooting uh boats out of the water or is he going to hit them with massive tariffs?
	Uh the Nobel Prize that wasn't Trump's.
	Why Oslo chose a Venezuelan rebel over a peacemaker?
	And uh so this is a Putin flattery piece from RT saying uh that, well, he really deserved it, I think.
	Um this uh person who got it, Maria Karina Machado, one of the most prominent faces of Venezuela's opposition was the one who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
	Uh the committee's language is familiar.
	They talked about rights, about a peaceful transition, but the story behind it isn't.
	Machado's record blends volunteer election networks with long-running fights over foreign funding.
	Uh, she's been getting, according to allegations, a lot of money uh from the U.S. government to overthrow Maduro, uh, who is the successor to Chavez, Hugo Chavez.
	And uh it's interesting that Chavez, uh Maduro has actually uh offered to try to buy off the American government.
	He understands that this is not about everybody knows it's not about drugs.
	It's no more about drugs with um uh Venezuela than it was about drugs with Canada.
	This is uh Trump's layer of uh his facade of BS that he's always doing this facade of false uh falsehoods that he uses to do this stuff.
	We all understand it's about regime change.
	We all understand, furthermore, that the regime change is about the oil.
	They have more oil than Saudi Arabia does.
	They just can't get it out of the ground because they're communists and they can't do anything right.
	And so Maduro is offering uh to give some uh capability to the U.S. that'd be mutually beneficial thing, actually, for him if he is actually able to get the oil out.
	He nationalized the companies and he can't run them.
	That's precisely what Hitler said about Stalin.
	He said, you know, they're both socialists.
	They both wanted to have centralized command and control of the economy eventually.
	But he said uh Stalin's mistake was that Stalin nationalized the companies and he can't do it, uh, can't run it efficiently.
	He said, I'm gonna leave these guys in place, and I will uh then reap the benefits from that.
	And at the very end, you know, if I need to, I'll take them over, but uh I can effectively take them over and have these people operate it.
	That is what fascism is.
	It's the merger of state and government.
	And so the communists can't get this done, so maybe they look at some kind of a fascist arrangement and bring the American corporations back in.
	But she has actually uh made a bigger offer uh to the U.S., uh, apparently.
	Uh the award lifts a domestic struggle onto the global stage and drops it into a fresh context.
	For much of the year, Chatterer about a Nobel Prize for Trump hung in the air, and the very idea of what counts is peacemaking is once up, once again up for debate uh and everywhere.
	So really, uh Trump, you know, when he wants a Nobel Peace Prize, I mean, wouldn't he think this is a guy who, when he funds and supplies continuing wars and Gaza and in Ukraine, and then pretends that he's the negotiator who's bringing peace.
	Um, who would have thought that that guy would not get the Nobel Prize?
	Who would have thought that a guy who is violating international law and blowing ships out of the water uh would not get the Nobel Peace Prize?
	Or we could look at Afghanistan.
	He wants to restart that can of worms uh in a fight over the Bagram uh base.
	Then we could talk about the bombing of Iran and all the rest of the things.
	I think he definitely deserves Nobel Peace Prize, don't you?
	Maria Karina Machado is an engineer by training, one of the most recognizable figures in Venezuela's opposition over the past two decades.
	Born in Caracas to a family linked to an industrial group.
	Um she studied at University later at Venezuela's leading management school.
	Early exposure to the family's business and an affinity for market-friendly ideas shaped her public profile.
	An emphasis on entrepreneurship, privatization, and integration within global markets.
	In 2002, she co-founded a civic platform that built volunteer networks to train election observers and to run parallel vote counts.
	Now, why would she do something like that?
	Well, it's because Smartmatic was created by a few cronies of Hugo Chavez.
	That's where they began in Venezuela, rigging elections for him.
	So what she did was she set this organization up and they were going to run parallel vote counts because they knew that he was rigging the elections.
	And then Smartmatic got involved in one scandal after the other, accused of rigging elections in several different Mexican states, as well as Brazil, and a huge fight over Smartmatic rigging of elections in Philippines.
	This is all before any of this stuff happened in the U.S., which is why I don't understand that nobody ever talks about that.
	I was talking about that before any of this stuff happened with a 2020 election.
	It's history, okay.
	And to say that there was uh the people in all these different jurisdictions believed that SmartMatic had not been an honest broker of the elections is to uh make it an understatement.
	They've been accused of this everywhere.
	But if you do it here in the U.S., then uh supposedly you get sued or something.
	Well, uh they never got we never got sued for that that reporting because it's factual and historical.
	Uh so that is when the first major controversy took hold.
	Authorities alleged that the group received funding from U.S. based organizations.
	Her supporters countered that the money supported legitimate civic initiatives, and from then on, every move that she made in politics was viewed through the lens of where to draw the line on outside assistance.
	So Maduro's only defense was to taint her by saying she was taking American money and uh subject to American influence.
	Uh that same year, 2002, brought Venezuela's most dramatic recent upheaval, the brief ouster of Hugo Chavez.
	Uh but he got back into power, and then he passed that on to Maduro.
	By the mid-2010s, Machado had consolidated her own political vehicle into a group that was uh that translates the name Vente Venezuela, which means come Venezuela.
	In public, she argued for deregulation, anti-corruption measures, privatization, and openness to investment, along with a peaceful transition through elections and international monitoring of elections.
	Her biggest surge came in 2023 when she won opposition primaries by a wide margin.
	The ban on her running, however, remained in force, and her team faced inspections and arrests.
	This is basically what's going on in Germany now, and also to some degree in France, outlawing the popular opposition to the government.
	In early 2024, the opposition shifted to a substitute candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, a career diplomat, but she was recognized as the power behind that.
	Registration was marred by technical snags, and the media argued over whether the campaign conditions were even handed.
	When the votes were counted and the incumbent held on, several foreign governments declined to recognize the result.
	And inside Venezuela, the post-election map barely moved.
	In other words, kind of the same way that we do it here with gerrymandering.
	You pick the congressional districts, you pick the voters, and you basically control the outcome.
	After the 2024 Machado largely disappeared from public events.
	Her statements came via video with her whereabouts undisclosed.
	The phrase underground network took hold in media shorthand, and supporters saw a movement that was operating under pressure.
	Against that backdrop, the Nobel Peace Prize elevates her biography to the international stage and carries a long-running national argument over the limits of political struggle to a much wider audience.
	The Nobel Committee said that it was honoring her for her tireless Work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just, peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
	And this is happening while Trump is working to overthrow our own constitution and the rule of law domestically as well.
	So within Venezuela, the same actions that Oslo calls peaceful resistance have been framed by officials as destabilization efforts supported from abroad.
	I think she got uh wind of the fact that after they rigged that election, she was uh the next thing to fall, so she disappeared.
	Uh she has publicly voiced support for Washington's decision to combat Venezuelan drug cartels through military means.
	So she's by no means an honest broker.
	Uh there is no Venezuelan drug cartel that isn't running.
	That is pure fiction from Trump.
	Absolute fiction.
	Her statement drew wide attention as it aligned her stance with the U.S. administration's tougher regional policy and blurred the boundary between domestic opposition and foreign strategy.
	So it may wind up to Trump's benefit, the fact that the Nobel Peace Prize was given to her.
	It'll give uh an aura or facade of legitimacy to his regime change that he's involved in.
	For much of the year, Washington buzzed with talk of a Nobel Prize for Trump.
	The president himself didn't hide his ambition.
	He talked about it incessantly.
	As a matter of fact, even when he brought in all the generals and admirals from all over the world, uh he was telling them how much he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize of all the people, they would know better.
	Also, it's just who cares.
	Yeah.
	He does.
	It's his ego.
	It's just so again, petty.
	This is you gotta get you gotta bring me in the room, you gotta give me the little medal.
	You're gonna put the little gold star on my paper and tell me I'm being a good boy because I deserve it.
	That's right.
	It's such a petty, narcissistic feed my ego.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's what he's about.
	Uh that's why it really does define him.
	By late 2025, the Trump team listed seven cases where's diplomacy had helped uh halt or de-escalate conflicts.
	And the reality is that these people in all these different areas say that he didn't have anything to do with it.
	As a matter of fact, I didn't play it for you because it was hard to hear, but you could kind of hear it if you really dialed it up and tune it in.
	It was uh an official from Azerbaijan who was talking to Macron when Trump was addressing the UN, and the two of them were laughing about Trump's claim that he brought peace to Armenia and Azerbaijan.
	Uh they were laughing at him at the UN over this claim.
	So the Nobel deadline fell on January the 31st, just 11 days after his inauguration, meaning that most of his achievements, quote unquote, uh were technically ineligible.
	But that didn't stop his backers.
	Several world leaders and families of Israeli hostages publicly endorsed his nomination.
	And again, this is sycophantic currying of favor and flattering him.
	Uh the fact that he claims to have stopped seven wars.
	White House Communication Director wrote on X, President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars and saving lives, as he continues to send bombs to Ukraine and Israel.
	Yeah.
	The Nobel Committee proved that they place politics over peace, and the Trump White House has proved that it is completely detached from reality, but not from Trump's ego.
	He wanted the prize too openly, said one person.
	There's an unwritten rule.
	The more you campaign for it, the less likely you are to get it.
	I can just imagine if he did get it.
	He'd get up and he'd probably do that uh that Sally Fields thing.
	You love me, you really love me.
	It was fairity than the mask with uh uh Jim Carrey.
	Jim Carrey, yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, part of it is no one likes a striver.
	No one likes someone that sits and is like, I've got to have it, you've got to give it to me.
	I need this.
	Well, abortion uh abortion ambition, abortion.
	Ambition used to be a strong disqualifier for office in America.
	As a matter of fact, that was the chief criticism of Lincoln was that he was too ambitious.
	And uh and now all of our politicians don't try to hide their ambition.
	You know, it used to be in the past, you know, you would wait and say, well, you'd at least try to keep the pretense that you were reluctantly pushed into this race and you were you're not running for office, you were standing for office.
	Now these people are desperately running.
	Sprinting for it.
	They're driving Ferraris that were paid for by foreign corporations and governments.
	So August eighth, Trump mediated the signing of an historic peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House, formally ending their decades-long conflict over Nagorno Karabakh and establishing normalized relations.
	Although neither nation has ratified it.
	In May 2025, Trump claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, though India maintains that the truce was achieved directly through bilateral military channels without any third party involvement, and that would include Trump.
	And then there's no mention of the fact that he threatens to restart the Afghanistan war over Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan.
	So again, um these seven things are just as fraudulent as his claims about insurrection and rebellion in the U.S. Look out, Norway.
	The Nobel snub for Trump leads to concerns.
	Will he bomb them?
	Will he assassinate some leaders?
	Will he impose confiscatory tariffs on them?
	Norway is bracing for Trump's reaction if he does not win the Nobel Prize, said the Guardian.
	Again, Guardian is not necessarily your most reliable source in terms of Trump.
	They hate him incessantly and they let that take over their judgment, stating that the U.S. President may impose tariffs, demand higher NATO contributions, or even declare Norway to be an enemy, according to reports in The Guardian.
	But one user said, uh how dare them tariffs on Norway is now unstoppable.
	But he can also hurt them in many different economic ways.
	And uh so uh this is from Judge Napolitano, Andrew Napolitano, and it is uh titled When Presidents Kill.
	And let's just understand that's what these guys are about.
	It's what Obama was about, it's what Bush was about, both of them.
	It's what uh Trump is about, uh Clinton, all of them.
	You know, was it worth it to kill a half a million kids with sanctions?
	Oh yeah, it was.
	But what Napolitano is talking about here is even more direct action, which Trump is very proud of.
	Uh during the past six weeks, Trump has ordered the U.S. troops to attack and destroy four speedboats in the Caribbean Sea, fifteen hundred miles from the U.S. The President revealed that the attacks were conducted without warning, were intended not to stop, but to kill all persons on board, and that they succeeded in their missions.
	He apparently believes that because these folks are presumably foreigners that they have no rights, and that he must honor and may f uh that that they have no right rights that he has to honor, and that he may freely kill them.
	As far as we know, none of these nameless, faceless persons was charged or convicted of any federal crime.
	We don't know if any of them were Americans, but we do know that all of them were extrajudicially executed.
	And I've had, you know, people even on this program leave comments and saying, don't talk to me about rights for foreigners.
	Well, what we're talking about are rights, the concept of rights in America are based on the idea that we are created in the image of God.
	And guess what?
	People who don't have U.S. citizenship are created in the image of God.
	And if we allow our government to kill people created in the image of God, they will eventually kill you without any judicial process as well.
	Can the president legally do this in a word?
	No.
	Here's the backstory.
	The Constitution was ratified to establish federal powers and to limit them.
	Congress is established to write the laws and to declare war.
	The president is established to enforce the laws that Congress has written, and to be commander in chief of the armed forces if they have declared a war.
	Restraints are imposed on both.
	Congress may only enact legislation in the sixteen Discrete areas of governance articulate in the Constitution, and it may only legislate subject to all persons' natural rights identified and articulated in the Bill of Rights.
	The President may only enforce the laws that Congress has written.
	He cannot craft his own.
	And he may employ the military only in defense of a real, imminent style attack, or to fight wars that Congress has declared.
	The Fifth Amendment assures that no person's life, liberty, or property may be taken without due process of law.
	Because the drafters, and now listen to this, for all of you who say foreigners don't have rights and should not be given due process, just do whatever you want to to them.
	Because the drafters of the amendment use the word person rather than citizen, the courts have ruled consistently that this due process requirement is applicable to all human beings.
	Wherever the government goes, it is subject to constitutional restraints, as it should be.
	And this is not just a legal detail that is here.
	As I said before, think of the principle, if you're going to allow the government to do this kind of stuff to people who are foreign citizens, the government will eventually do it to you in the United States, and we don't want to have that kind of thing.
	We need to keep a restraint on the government.
	The most dangerous thing to your life and to your liberty is an unrestrained government.
	And the purpose of the Constitution was to restrain them.
	That's what the Bill of Rights is really about, and we we ignore that to our own detriment.
	These things will come back around on us if we are not careful.
	Traditionally due process means a trial.
	In the case of a civilian, it means a jury trial.
	In the case of enemy combatants, it means a fair and neutral tribunal.
	The tribunal requirement came about in an odd and terrifying way.
	In 1942, four Nazi troops arrived via submarine at the Amiganset Beach, New York and exchanged their uniforms for civilian garb.
	At nearly the same time, four other Nazi troops arrived via submarine at Ponta Verda Beach, Florida, and they also donned civilian clothing.
	All eight of them set about their assigned task of destroying American munitions factories.
	After one of them went to the FBI, all eight of them were arrested.
	FDR panicked and ordered all eight summarily executed.
	Even the guy who went to the FBI.
	When two of the eight protested in perfect English that they were born in the U.S. and their protests proved to be accurate, FDR decided to appoint a counsel for all of them and to hold a trial.
	At trial, all eight were convicted of attempting sabotage behind enemy lines, even including the guy who became an informant.
	That is a war crime, and the Supreme Court quickly returned to Washington from its summer vacation and unanimously upheld the convictions.
	By the time the court issued its formal opinion, however, six of the eight had already been executed.
	Wait for the Supreme Court to weigh in on this.
	The two Americans were sentenced to life in prison, and it's not clear as to whether or not the informant was an American or not.
	Their sentences were commuted five years later by Harry Truman when the war ended.
	The linchpin to all of this was FDR's decision to appoint counsel and to have a trial.
	The Supreme Court made it clear that even unlawful enemy combatants, those out of uniform and not on a recognized battlefield, are entitled to due process.
	And but for the trial afforded to the Nazi saboteurs, it would not have permitted their executions.
	So this jurisprudence was essentially followed in three Supreme Court cases involving foreign persons whom the George W. Bush administration had arrested and characterized as enemy combatants and detained in Gitmo.
	In wartime, U.S. troops can lawfully kill enemy troops that are engaged in violence against them.
	But pursuant to these Supreme Court cases, the UN Charter and the treaty that the U.S. wrote, as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, another treaty that the U.S. wrote, if combatants are not engaged in violence, they may not be harmed, but only arrested.
	All this presumes that Congress has in fact declared war on the country or the group from which the combatants come from, and that hasn't happened since December eighth, nineteen forty one.
	Now back to Trump ordering the military to kill foreigners in the Caribbean.
	International law provides for stopping ships engaged in violence in international waters.
	It also provides for stopping and searching ships with probable cause for the search in U.S. territorial waters.
	But no law permits.
	And the prevailing judicial jurisprudence deriving from the Constitution and federal statutes absolutely prohibits the summary murder of folks not engaged in violence on the high seas or anywhere else.
	And this is not just Judge Napolo Tano saying this.
	This has been said by the chief judges of the military and various administrations, both Democrat and Republican Republican, have come out and opposed this and said this is an international war crime, what Trump is doing.
	The American general, I'm sorry, the Attorney General has reluctantly revealed the existence of a legal memorandum proponing to justify Trump's orders and the military's killings.
	But she insisted that the memorandum is classified.
	So think about this.
	She says Pam Bondi.
	Again, I I agree with the assessment.
	Perhaps the worst attorney general of my life is now saying that, well, there may not be any legal authority for this, but as attorney general, I've given him a memorandum that allows him to do this.
	But you can't see it because it's classified and it's secret.
	Napolitano says a legal memorandum can only be based on public laws enacted by Congress and interpreted by the courts.
	There are no secret laws.
	There can be no classified rationale for killing the legally innocent.
	And they are legally innocent until you have given them due process.
	If the memorandum purports to permit the president to declare nonviolent enemy combatants on a whim and kill them, it is in defiance of eighty years of consistent jurisprudence and its drafters and executors have engaged in serious criminality.
	Where will these extrajudicial killings go next?
	To Chicago?
	You know, he's giving himself, he's not just giving himself folks these powers.
	He's giving these powers to the next Biden, to the next Obama, to the next Hillary Clinton.
	That's who Trump is giving these powers to.
	For all of you who think that the end justifies the means, I'm telling you that's the end.
	The end is that he's giving these powers to some future Democrat to do this to you.
	How do you feel about that?
	Trump has said that the U.S. is at war with drug cartels, but is Congress on board?
	And this is a an interview back and forth between uh on world radio between the host um there, Myrna Brown, and a guest uh who is um uh being interviewed, Carolina Lumetta.
	We have a uh ton of comments if you want to get to that before you move on to another sort of yeah, let's do that.
	Let's do that.
	Thank you.
	Go ahead, Travis.
	That's right.
	Jim's seven.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it.
	It says whatever happened to Greenland, the first smokescreen of the 47 admin.
	Well, yeah, I'd play my little uh Greenland thing there, but that's got Charlie Kirk singing in it, so I imagine I would be arrested and put in get mo for putting that up now.
	My own personal conspiracy theory is Greenland doesn't exist.
	It never existed at all.
	It's just a useful tool they trot at every once in a while to make you think there's a Greenland.
	Well, it's a lie.
	Greenland is covered in ice.
	It's Iceland that's green.
	Greenland is covered in ice, and Iceland is very nice.
	Yeah.
	Real Jason Barker, COVID lockdown, shut down small businesses and the tariffs are now going for the medium-sized producers.
	It's a one-to-punch for consolidation.
	Gonna make sure there's no businesses left aside from the major players.
	Nibaru 2029.
	Once Bill Gates has stolen enough farmland, the only food being produced will be coming out of Bill Gates' bug factories.
	You will eat zibugs.
	Jerry Alatalo, many stock market experts have called for banning Wall Street bets, shorts, puts, etc., which only win when particular company stocks decrease in value.
	Yeah, it's the it's those those stocks, uh puts And uh shorts and things like that that turn it into a gambling market.
	You know, uh if you think of it as uh investing in in a company that you think is going to grow, uh then you don't really understand how this whole system works.
	That's the shorts and the puts that turn it into a casino.
	Real Jason Barker says, uh I do land, guns, ammo, food, seeds, etc.
	Skills are a great investment as well.
	Hand tools, ammo, reload setup.
	There are many ways to set yourself up outside the dollar.
	Pray about it, and God will let you know what to do.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Guard Goldsmith says, Great point, Travis.
	That's one of the mistakes my family made early with collectible coins.
	The collectible side shuts down when the economy tanks.
	So it's better to buy the metals or junk silver.
	Yeah.
	Niburu 2029.
	Bush Reagan's 1979, 1980 campaign slogan was let's make America great again.
	Trump's nothing more than a plagiarizing grifter.
	He's too lazy to even make his own stuff.
	I was absolutely amazed when he ran the first time.
	So how in the world can he uh try to copyright that, right?
	Because he was suing people, that merchandise stuff.
	So that's other people have said that for the longest time.
	Yeah.
	Stealth Patriot says, Invest in a lot of lead.
	That's right.
	Make sure that you are able to protect yourself.
	You want to be able to defend yourself and you want to know how to do that.
	You can get the civil defense manual volumes one and two at Jacklauson Books.com.
	It'll teach you not just about defending yourself, but how to prepare, find water, find food, that sort of thing, and work as a community.
	So civil defense manual, Jacklauson Books.com.
	Yes.
	Trucker, Chris, for the win.
	Imagine laws that prevent any APAC funded candidates being allowed to participate in electoral politics.
	Well, anybody that tried to put forward that law would get shot.
	Yeah, listen, look I'm along that line.
	I've got um a thing about APAC actually using barcodes for politicians.
	Initially, I resented the fact that there was no appreciation for nuance.
	Like if you if you asked any questions about any decision of the uh Israeli government in any place regarding settlements, regarding Gaza, regard whatever, you were like you you you had deviated from the script, and I just in any policy area I I had resentment over that.
	And then I saw the way the APAC worked, and that that was weird for like a country lawyer like me.
	I remember my first APAC reception, and like your fundraiser tells you you have to go, and your chief of staff tells you you have to go, your committee chairman all tell you you have to go.
	And you get there and you wear this name badge, and I remember there's a QR code on it.
	And what we were supposed to do was go talk to donors, and then if they liked you, they scanned your QR code to make a donation, like on the spot.
	And so it's this can you just imagine how demoralizing that is to like be told that your job for the next several hours to go chat people up, hoping they would scan you like a can of tomato soup on the way out of the meeting.
	It's like literally purchasing.
	Right.
	And I I saw that and I was like, wow, that is so freaking weird.
	And then Now you know why he didn't make it into the administration because uh I I guess they didn't like uh didn't scan his barcode or whatever at APAC enough.
	Yeah.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Weird, demoralizing.
	These aren't the words I would use.
	Disgusting, repulsive.
	These are more what describe this act of open corruption.
	Yeah, convenience market to buy politicians.
	Well, I've said for the longest time that the politicians ought to uh have be forced to dress like NASCAR drivers where you got your sponsors are listed on your uniform, right?
	That your your suit should be all over that, you know, and uh who's who's paying for it.
	But um this is a step beyond that.
	Uh this is I'm literally a can of soup that uh they're gonna buy if they like it, if I make enough promises for what I'll do for Israel.
	And they send me the money.
	I'm just imagining you know a Jewish couple.
	Uh, would you like anything from the store on my way home?
	Ah, pick me up a senator too, you know.
	Uh yeah.
	And of course, the one time we saw someone trying to push back on something similar to this was Frank nicely trying to prevent out of state money coming into state elections.
	Yeah.
	And of course that didn't get passed, and then he had a massive amount of out-of-state money flooding in supporting his uh opponent in the next election.
	Yeah, if you go against the corruption, the corruption goes against you.
	That's how it works.
	And then you are then a former politician.
	So you don't get to last long if you're a man of integrity.
	That's right.
	Chev Ken says, no queso, no cheese question mark.
	Yeah, that's the that's the joke.
	I don't I don't understand how that's supposed to be funny.
	I guess it's just like they're stupid.
	Haha.
	No comprendo.
	Yeah.
	See, no comprende.
	Gardner Goldsman.
	So they are saying, no cheese, no cheese.
	Leave it to MAGA to lumber through even on AI production.
	Yeah, that's I truly do not understand how it's supposed to be humorous.
	The real Octo spook.
	It is all chipping away rights in the war on American citizens.
	We can only expect more.
	Yeah.
	We have a Syrian girl, sad to see this happening to what was a great nation in our time right before our eyes.
	Real quick, another thing about that AI video is it's just it's not funny on any level.
	No.
	People get pepper sprayed routinely.
	You can at least go like an absurdist route, like you know, a tank drives up and vaporizes the person.
	You know, that could at least be somewhat humorous in the sense of, oh, they've gone over the top, this is ridiculous.
	But no, it's just the cop pulls out pepper spray.
	It's like you can watch a video of this, a real video of this.
	I don't like what you're saying.
	Yeah, I remember years ago when you had uh the it was on the Berkeley campus in California.
	Overweight cop just they did a set in, and you have this guy who comes along with pepper spray and just walks along spraying them in the face.
	I mean, that's real.
	And uh now, you know, the right is cheering that.
	They like that.
	I'm disgusted by that.
	I'm disgusted by these MAGA people.
	One and a half million likes.
	Just amazing.
	Assyrian girls.
	Sad to see this happening to what was a great nation in our time right before our eyes.
	On our watch.
	Yeah.
	Says, David, most voters for Trump voted in abject fear of having La La and Obama in charge of the new regime.
	Most are not MAGA.
	Well, yeah, but there's one half million people who like this force that's going to be used by Democrats against us.
	I mean, this isn't even projection.
	This we've already seen this happen with January the sixth.
	These people will never learn.
	The ones that it happened to are cheering this on to have it happen again.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and I bring this up frequently, and whenever I mention it, I always see comments pushing back against it, but we need to get rid of first pass the post voting.
	That's what causes this whole thing.
	It was, oh, well, they were just voting because they didn't want to have law law in that would be even worse, because you know, it's down to the two of them.
	Uh with ranked choice, I see comments whenever I mention it saying, oh, it's easier to rig.
	Thing is, there are just elections that are ranked choice, so it's possible to do it, and they are already rigging the first past the post.
	So it's not like that's going to prevent the wrong.
	Well, and the rigging lance starts not with the voting uh the uh not with counting the votes.
	The rigging begins with ballot access.
	I can tell you fighting that.
	Uh they do everything they can to keep you out of the ballots.
	If they can't keep you off the ballots, then they keep you out of the debates and they don't have debates, which is what we saw with Trump this last time.
	Democrats inoculated him against any criticism from fellow Republicans.
	He didn't have to go to the debates because you know he was the he was unfairly being attacked by them, and he was unfairly attacked by them.
	So what?
	What did he do to us in 2020?
	That that's the thing.
	I look at it, and I understand people voting in fear against La La and Biden and that type of thing.
	But let me say that I think that um the most dangerous person is the person who gets behind you in order to stab you in the back.
	And that's one of the reasons why they were going to have a some summary execution of these spies who came in to sabotage uh infrastructure, and they were in civilian clothing.
	You know, spies are killed right away.
	Soldiers in uniform, we try to have, along with the Geneva Convention, we try to uh accommodate them because they're coming at you in a uniform, and and so we treat them in a different way than we treat spies.
	And I consider the people who stabbed us in the back, Trump and all of his people in 2020.
	I consider them to be saboteurs and spies, not enemy combatants.
	The Democrats are enemy combatants.
	And yeah, they ought to be shot on the battlefield, but uh the the more dangerous columns that are out there is the fifth column that's inside the city.
	It's not the four columns that Are coming at you.
	But it's the fifth column that's inside the city that you think is on your side.
	That's the problem with Trump.
	Yeah, so what I was saying about the voting is it always comes down to that with controlled candidates from the major parties when you have first pass of the post.
	There's a uh term for it.
	I forget what it is, but it's someone's law that it will always boil down to this.
	It's inevitable.
	Uh there's an even better style of voting called uh I believe it's approval voting, where uh you just give each candidate uh up to a certain number of points and then just total up the points, which would be just as easy to do tally up the votes as uh the existing first past the post.
	Well, I agree.
	And when you look at if you want to get rid of first past the post, you have more than two parties.
	If you only have two parties, you're always gonna have first past the post.
	But first past the post means that it will always be down to two parties, because if you have a third party, then it's going to everyone who would vote for that are instead going to vote for the one that's more likely to win of the two big parties.
	They don't want to flip the vote.
	You have to make sure they've got a majority.
	And so that's what you see in a parliamentary system where they allow multiple parties.
	We don't allow multiple parties here in the United States.
	The Democrats and Republicans have uh uh got so much power and corruption that they shut that down a long, long time ago in America.
	But if you got multiple parties, whoever wins has to put together a coalition government.
	And so there's some restraint on that.
	But uh yeah, let's go ahead and finish these.
	Niburu 2029.
	Throughout history, every 80 to 90 years has been a great human culling on the planet.
	The last was in the 1940s.
	Do the math.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	It is also saying that your speech can be silenced when they support those AI videos.
	That's right.
	Audi MRR.
	MAGA cultists are cheering on martial law for themselves.
	No get it.
	I'm Marty says, DK, will that Chi Apocalypse vid be uploaded separately so they can be copied and pasted?
	Yeah, you should post it on Twitter.
	I will, yeah.
	We'll put that up on Twitter after the show.
	Yeah.
	First we had Shirak, now it's the Chi Apocalypse.
	Mm-hmm.
	PX Mac, the media wants civil war, it's losing control of the narrative.
	I'm Marty.
	Trump blame Biden's FBI for J6 infiltration.
	Trump forgot he was still pres on that day.
	Trump has entered the Bidenheimer zone.
	Uh it's utterly ridiculous.
	Just either he's completely ineffective and couldn't root out the problem people in his administration, and as such, you know, he he's not worth having in.
	Or he's part of their team.
	And uh Trump people are completely incapable of seeing that.
	Chevkin says Biden FBI, Trump really is senile.
	Yeah.
	PXMAC says Gaza City is open air prisons.
	Dug to 007.
	We could even call them reservations.
	That's right.
	Yeah, that's why I talk about that.
	You know, when you look at uh uh concentration camps, as I've said, didn't start with the Nazis, it started with the American government and the Indians.
	It's exactly what all this stuff is.
	Yeah.
	It just keeps coming back around.
	Because human nature doesn't change, and so politics fundamentally doesn't change either.
	That's uh that's another thing so many people don't understand is that human nature is inherently sinful, it's inherently bad.
	And you cannot trust people with power.
	Yeah, you have to continually any power you give them, you have to watch them with it.
	That's right.
	And it's just if you don't understand that you cannot be trusted with politics.
	Niburu 2029.
	The social engineers are masters of hurting sheeple.
	Unlimited hangout series, the PayPal presidency is extremely informative.
	Yeah, they do good work, and it's very, very detailed, very detailed.
	Nibiru 2020 uh Audi MRR, police need to wake up, the Predator's class plans do not include them.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	I've always said that if these people, you know, the elite, whatever you want to call it, the mega rich were to succeed in their goal of basically getting rid of all of us, they would immediately start plotting against each other.
	They cannot stand other people.
	They want to be the only person left.
	Jerry Alatalo, Trump administration, Arch Technocrats, Musk, Teal, Vance, Yarvin, Sachs, Andreessen, Kratsios, Lutnik, Ellison, combine it worth one point two trillion dollars.
	PXmack.
	Funny how evil people always reverse the intent of their objectives.
	What worries me about Teal saying how much he opposes the Antichrist.
	Yeah, it's like Trump saying that he opposes a globalist, isn't it?
	That's the same thing.
	He is a globalist, and uh, you know, it it's uh Teal is is as uh in terms of conduct is the antichrist.
	It's truly amazing.
	Just the old patriot act, double think war is peace.
	I love this uh Nobel War Prize, that's what he deserves if they got that.
	Well, he's able to change the defense department's name.
	Maybe he can get the Nobel people to change their name and give him a prize after all, right?
	You can get the Nobel War Prize.
	Maybe you can get a participation Nobel Prize or something.
	Yeah.
	Karen Carpenter 27.
	Good to see you, Karen Carpenter.
	Hope you're doing well.
	Technology such as the television was used as a weapon from its beginning.
	The difference is that when you look at you know the newspapers, of course, uh um what was it?
	Hirsch uh said that he could deliver a war for Wilson and did.
	And so you look at the propaganda that comes from the newspapers, and then when they started doing radio, made it much more powerful.
	And uh when they started doing television, more powerful still.
	Now, with the internet, which was designed by uh DARPA psychologists, they are not only able to reach people uh with their own propaganda like this, and you know, as a joke or whatever, but they're able to measure your response to that and fine-tune it.
	That's what the internet has brought to them.
	The ability, and of course, AI as well, the ability to not only give you the propaganda, but to know if you saw it and to know if you agree with it or disagree with it so they can fine-tune it.
	That's what's made it so dangerous.
	And of course, Karen Carpenter is part of Knights of the Storm.
	You can find all that info at Knights of the Storm.com.
	They have a great resource there for finding out when all the friendly shows are whether it's Nice of the Storm, This One, or Guards Liberty Conspiracy.
	You can find that on Knights of the Storm.com.
	Hero May says Nobel War Prize.
	That's right.
	Trump burger.
	He would have definitely won if they had a category for mass death.
	Christian constitutional conservative Trump said that she told him he deserved the prize.
	Has that been confirmed?
	Well, she's uh sucking up.
	Well, I I would guess that that would be true since she's put herself in a position of being a U.S. agent.
	If she's going to suck up to him and publicly say that uh these uh shootings of uh these boats under the allegation that it's part of a war against a drug cartel, that is absolutely false, and she's gonna lie about that.
	She would lie to him and flatter him.
	Putin is flattering him in terms of this uh Nobel Prize stuff.
	And uh so anybody that wants anything from him, they know how to get to him is flattery.
	Yeah, his ego makes him very easy to manipulate one way or the other.
	You know how he'll react.
	The real Octospook when you have to disguise taxes on Americans, lie and call them foreign tariffs.
	You you're your respect for the tariff is already non-existent.
	Yep.
	Real Octospook Obama proved the Nobel Peace Prize is a worthless POS.
	Trump deserves it.
	That's right.
	Up there in good company.
	Mike Wendell just lost his suit.
	I guess smart mic, that's that's uh I'm sorry to um he seems like a nice guy, even though he's unbelievably naive.
	I think he is genuine, and I think he's been fooled into this.
	One person says, You can see that he's screaming into that pillow.
	I feel sorry for him.
	He had a tough life, and he overcame with my pillow, and then he got completely suckered in by all this Trump stuff.
	And so I I do feel sorry for him.
	I felt sorry for the January to six people.
	Uh I don't think they deserved what was done to them, and many of them still don't understand it.
	I wonder if Mike Lendell still understands it.
	Yeah, who knows.
	Yeah.
	Christian constitutional conservative, a criminal network known as the Cartel of the Suns operates in Venezuela, though it is not a cartel in the conventional sense.
	Instead, the term refers to a loose decentralized network of corrupt military and political officials who facilitate drug trafficking and other criminal activities.
	I don't know if that's true or not.
	Quite frankly, the Cartel of the Sun sounds to me like an invention of the government.
	As a matter of fact, I've reported that many people have said that it's kind of interesting that Trendy Arugra, or whatever, the Trendy Gang, was an invention.
	Yeah.
	An invention of the American government to start with.
	And remember, they created the Mujahideen, which is also Al-Qaeda and ISIS and all the rest of the stuff, and this al-Nusra gang that is killing Christians and everybody in in Syria.
	So our government does that kind of thing.
	So it should always be a possibility with you.
	And all this stuff about Cartel's sons is a narrative that was created by the Trump administration to create a justification for what they're criminally and illegally doing.
	They're a gang of thugs.
	That's all you need to know.
	The gang of thugs is in Washington.
	Sorry.
	Outy MRR responding to Christian Constitutional Conservative says there's a map that indicates where drugs come from in that part of the world.
	Venezuela is not where the drugs are coming from.
	Everybody understands that.
	Yeah.
	Audi MRR.
	BB basically said that terrorists attack will happen in New York, Boston, Mar-a-Lago, and others.
	It will be Israel doing it, but they will blame Iran.
	A blind man can see this coming from a mile away.
	Absolutely.
	IRS machine gun.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it.
	Wonder if Trump has looked on Pam's desk for his Nobel Prize.
	That's right.
	There's a lot of stuff on that desk.
	Maybe it just got lost.
	Niburu 2029.
	There's thousands of secret laws written into the CIA or into the ACA Obamacare.
	Yeah.
	They have to pass him to see what's in it, but then they don't ever bother going back and checking.
	I don't want to read that.
	That's boring.
	That's true.
	Nibiru 2029 again.
	Don't buy your ammo from Walmart, Dix, or Cal Ranch.
	There's others as well.
	All three report ammo sales to the feds by using cash only.
	Credit card NAMO purchases are also reported.
	Mm-hmm.
	Audi MRR.
	Trump is banking on an ice agent or National Guard soldier injury or worse by a member of the public.
	He needs that one event to get his insurrection act agenda to the next phase.
	They may stage one.
	Yes.
	Okay, well, it's uh we got one more.
	S. A. Miller 123, evil is evil.
	There is no two-party system.
	They're all on the same team.
	You only get to vote to make you think you are contributing.
	That's right.
	Let's talk about this before we take a break because we're getting close to the end of the show, and I did want to talk about this.
	We got a Tennessee man who's been arrested in connection to a Charlie Kirk social media post.
	Arrested, folks, and he's being held under massive bail.
	What was it?
	Uh two million dollars, I think.
	Yeah, two million dollar bail for a tweet, a joke.
	A joke.
	And it is quite clear what is going on.
	He quoted President Trump, and because he put up a meme that quoted President Trump, they are they came after him.
	They said, Well, you know, we can't arrest somebody for hating Charlie Kirk.
	But we can pretend that you're threatening a school, which is what they did.
	A Tennessee man is the first to be arrested for social media posts made regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
	And again, when we look at this, Charlie Kirk was about going to these places and engaging in debate and standing for the First Amendment.
	If he was about anything, that was I have my disagreements with Charlie Kirk.
	I have a lot of disagreements with Charlie Kirk.
	Um I've chosen not to go into them right at this moment.
	But I gotta say that these people who are their virtue signaling to their base that uh Charlie Kirk is the be-all and end all, and we're gonna punish anybody that says anything negative about him.
	They are the antithesis of what the guy did.
	And that's what we're seeing here.
	Uh Larry Bouchart, 61 from Lexington, Tennessee, is a former police officer.
	And he was arrested September 22nd and charged with threats of mass violence on school property and activities after posting a photo in a Facebook comments of a Perry County community group page.
	Uh the sheriff there told the Tennessee in a statement the participants on the page were planning to host a Charlie Kirk vigil.
	Uh Bouchart posted multiple photos in the comments referencing Charlie Kirk's death, which the sheriff said were hate crime hate memes, but he said, Well, they're not against the law, and we'd have to recognize that as free speech.
	So we twisted something else that he had to say.
	One image, however, caught their attention.
	In it, you have Trump saying, We've got to get over it.
	And this was a direct quote from Trump after a January 2024 school shooting in Perry, Iowa, that left one dead and seven wounded.
	So after a school shooting, Trump said, We've got to get over it.
	And the school shooting was in Perry, Iowa.
	Now, this is Perry High School in Perry County, Tennessee.
	And so Bouchart's picture consists of an image of Trump along with a quote of attributed to Trump on the Perry High School mass shooting one day after.
	But it doesn't have the state of Iowa there.
	It doesn't say Perry, Iowa.
	It just says Perry.
	And it's Trump.
	And it says we've got to get over it.
	Now, how is we've got to get over it?
	How is that a threat to do violence to a school?
	So the school, just to recap, the school has got a uh memorial or some kind of Charlie Kirk event that's coming up.
	And he's saying, you know, this is uh you you gotta move on or whatever, stop making so much out of this.
	I don't know what the other posts were about.
	But then he puts up a quote from Trump saying, We got to get over it.
	And that was Trump talking about people being killed at a school.
	So because of that, now this sheriff has construed that as grounds for arresting him.
	The photo is topped with a phrase, this seems relevant today.
	Like maybe you should get over this and move on.
	A cross-referencing of the photo done by the Tennessean found this image has been posted numerous times across multiple social media platforms, not connected with Bouchart going back to 2024.
	He did not craft this thing specifically for this event, because that's the other thing they're saying.
	They said, Well, okay, there you can see it right there.
	Uh Donald Trump on the Perry High School mass shooting one day after.
	We've got to get over it.
	Now that picture, he did not create that meme.
	But they're coming back and saying, Well, because you said Perry in a high school, that we think that you're referring to our Perry High School.
	No, it's been put all over the internet.
	Arrested and in jail with two million dollar bail for posting this.
	Yeah, isn't that amazing?
	Isn't that amazing?
	Um, Bouchard posted the picture to indicate or to make the audience think that it was referencing our Perry High School, said this sheriff.
	This sheriff needs to be defeated.
	Uh, this led teachers, parents, and students to co conclude that he was talking about a hypothetical shooting at one of our schools.
	Well, then that's on them if they're that stupid.
	Uh you can't start arresting people because stupid people are offended by something that is not about them at all.
	Investigators believe that Bouchard was fully aware of the fear that his post would cause and intentionally sought to create hysteria within the community.
	No, that is um not the case at all.
	What he's saying is move on from this stuff.
	Why keep going back to the well for Charlie Kirk?
	Waves of firings and suspensions have already occurred across the country in connection with individuals' social media posts about Kirk as conservative politicians and influencers push for a crackdown.
	I'll say this, a crackdown on free speech.
	A Phoenix sports writer, a University of Mississippi faculty member, school employees in Idaho, Indiana, South Carolina, emergency workers, a theater professor, and other university employees in Tennessee and U.S. Marine Corps recruiter and many more have been among the professionals fired and suspended or put on leave over social media posts that some found offensive.
	So these comments are protected free speech, although the First Amendment does not inoculate people against actions that private employers would take.
	But Bouchard's situation is unique.
	He was charged under a state law that was passed in July 2024 that makes it a class E felony to make threats against schools.
	And this is a really bad law that we have here in Tennessee.
	The law, which has faced accusations of being overbroad in its language, has ensnared many.
	During the 2024 fiscal year, 518 children in Tennessee were arrested with this law, and seventy-one of the children were between the ages of seven and eleven.
	Do they really think that these uh kids are threatening the school?
	But that's the way it's been used.
	And that's being used against the guy because he criticized an event, said you need to get over it.
	And he was quoting President Trump using a meme that he didn't even create.
	This is how bad things are.
	Conservatives don't support any of the Bill of Rights.
	Thank you for joining us.
	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.com.
	Thank you for listening.
