Wed Episode #2249: Tucker's Toothless Covid Mea Culpa
Donald Trump faces scrutiny over contradictory ceasefire claims and alleged lies regarding Iran, while Tucker Carlson's "mea culpa" is dismissed for ignoring gaslighting on 9/11 and the bioweapon pandemic. The episode exposes Alex Karp's Palantir manifesto as a blueprint for techno-fascism, warning of a surveillance empire akin to Sauron that centralizes power and evades taxes. With gold prices falling due to asset sales and Saudi Arabia trading oil in yuan, the host predicts the death of the dollar amidst a $143 trillion debt load, framing these events as a coordinated shift toward corporate control and the end of the petrodollar era.

Truth as a Revolutionary Act00:07:18
Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
It's The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 22nd of April, year of our Lord 2026.
Today, we're going to be talking about megalomaniacal elites, the billionaires who seek to rule us, the people who think they're already little gods and seek to become bigger gods.
We're going to talk about Palantir's manifesto.
What does it tell us about this very powerful company and the people that they work with?
Because their visions line up with each other.
They're not giving all this money to Palantir because.
They don't agree with Palantir.
They agree 100% with Palantir.
One of the things that people are missing when they look at this manifesto, as many people have said, looks like a supervillain monologuing in a Marvel comic movie.
But what they're missing is he's not really monologuing, he's doing a sales pitch to the people who want this stuff.
And we're going to begin with Tucker Carlson's Mia Culpa.
It's not really a Mia Culpa at all.
We'll be right back.
Well, as Reason says, the COVID reckoning, and it hasn't really been a reckoning, has there?
It doesn't go far enough.
And you know, what we're hearing in all these COVID reckonings, these inquiries that are being done in various places, typically it's like, well, you know, we're sorry, mistakes were made.
You know, we did the best we could, blah, And usually they finish it with saying, next time we'll do better and we'll do more and we'll do it sooner.
They haven't learned any lessons from this at all.
And I guess the question is when I looked at Tucker, he did his mea culpa and said, it's not just enough to apologize for people for helping Trump to get into office and supporting this guy and gaslighting the public about that.
I thought, well, what about gaslighting the public on 9 11?
What about gaslighting the public on the COVID pandemic and the bioweapon as it was happening?
As it was happening.
So Trump put in a new team in charge of the federal health apparatus.
Says Reason.
Some of them truth telling contrarians who risk their careers to expose the sins of the old guard.
But it's also a messy picture because the man in charge of HHS has controversial theories about the danger of vaccination with little factual basis, says Reason.
Well, we can certainly disagree with that.
The problem with RFK Jr. is not that he's warned people about the dangers of vaccination, he was right about that.
The problem with RFK Jr. is that he sold out for power.
And it comes down to doing an investigation, which I think Reason fell on because they typically start out right away talking about the history of the FDA, the power play behind the FDA, and how they removed basically people's consent.
And that's a key thing, but there also needs to be informed consent.
And it has been there to cover that up, to give a veneer of legitimacy and trust.
To things that should never be trusted, things that should always be investigated.
That's the major problem with FDA.
And like liberty, I've said this so many times before because I've seen it so many times.
Libertarians will always zoom in and focus on the sins of the government, they will never pay any attention to the sins of the corporations.
Just the opposite of the liberal Democrats who always focus on the sins of the corporations, but will never look at the sins of the government.
And the reality, folks, is.
That the two of them have joined forces and their evil sides have become stronger as they have joined forces.
That's the reality of what is happening with this.
So, with all that in mind, let's take a look at what Tucker Carlson does in terms of his apology.
He says, for misleading people on Trump.
Well, again, as I said, he talks a little bit about the pandemic and the bioweapon.
We'll see what he has to say about that.
But he's also misled people on 9 11 and many other things.
And when you look at the pandemic and the bioweapon, he was misleading people as it was happening.
Right?
The purpose of 9 11 in terms of investigation and looking at that was very clear.
These people who purport to use that tragedy, if they're the ones who created it, and I say they are, I'm not going to equivocate about any of this stuff.
I've done some research.
Tucker Carlson, when it comes to vaccines and things like that, he says, well, I don't know.
You know, Trump said, don't you like the polio vaccine?
And I always say to Tucker Carl, he says, Well, I don't know.
I never looked at that.
So don't give a Mike Johnson answer.
Come on.
You know why people like Mike Johnson do that.
You know why people like Tucker Carlson do that.
They know they've got an opinion.
And by the way, that's his job, isn't it?
It's his job to investigate something that is important like that.
If he doesn't know anything about it, start investigating.
You're smart enough to know.
Instead, he doesn't want to go there because that's going to be something that, hey, if these people are right, I'm going to be a kook.
I'm going to be on the, if I go against the vaccine industry, if I go against viruses in general, which that's where my investigation led me, when I started looking at this stuff, I said, well, okay.
I was looking at it all within the vaccine paradigm, right?
The vaccine and virus paradigm that we'd been told by the establishment medical community.
It's like, I looked at it and it's like, okay, within this paradigm, none of this stuff makes any sense.
And then you start to look at the paradigm itself, you pull back a little bit further to get a bigger picture, and you see that that doesn't make any sense either.
It's got some major flaws in it.
That's when you start seeing the polio stuff and everything, but he doesn't want to go there.
And so I'll play for you what Tucker Carlson had to say.
You and I and everyone else who supported him.
Tongue to his brother.
Speeches for him.
I campaigned for him.
I mean, we're implicated in this for sure.
Yes.
It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind or like, oh, this is bad.
I'm out.
It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.
Yes.
So I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences.
You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time.
Tucker's Flawed Paradigm00:16:17
I will be.
And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people.
It was not intentional.
That's all I'll say.
But anyway, but the question does present itself immediately.
Like, what is this?
Was this always the plan?
You don't want to be a conspiracy nut, but like, clearly there were signs of low character.
We knew that.
Yes.
But it didn't.
There are tons of people of low character who outperform their character.
It doesn't have to be.
Sort of the norm, actually, these days.
Right.
I've outperformed my character a lot.
I don't have especially high character, right?
But, you know, you try to, whatever, you try your best.
But, um, but what was, what was this?
Was this always the plan?
Yeah, yeah, it was.
You know, when I look at that, he says, well, you know, it's kind of like mistakes were made.
And we looked at this and I should have known better.
I knew this guy was a reality TV show, a guy who had very low character.
I mean, you know, they made movies about his character.
I remember Karen had for the longest time a sweater that she got as a promotional product.
We had the video stores and it was First Wives Club.
And it was kind of funny.
T shirt, that sweater said that first wife's club.
But the, you know, that movie was made with Ivanka and it was made to push back against what Trump did to his wife.
He just didn't divorce her for somebody else.
We look at what he publicly, how he publicly humiliated her.
And what have we seen with that?
It's been a pattern for him.
Absolutely a pattern.
That's what he basically built his brand on.
You know, you're fired and you're no good and all the rest of this stuff.
But again, to come in and say, well, you know, yeah, we kind of missed this.
That just doesn't cut it.
You know, I worked at Texas Instruments and I was part of a group that was a customer liaison for semi custom semiconductor design for a large company.
So we'd have customers like Siemens and a lot of large companies.
I mentioned Siemens because we had the group that I was in.
We had like a guy from Germany, a guy from France.
I was the American.
There was somebody from Italy and Japan and on and on.
It was kind of interesting, you know, working with all these different people from different countries and everything.
But, You know, they're working with their own people in their own country.
And the German case, there was something that happened with the chips.
They were defective.
And so the German company comes back in, and Dietmar was like, oh, man, you know, we got to explain this to them.
This is huge.
And Germany, it's not enough to say, hey, I'm sorry, you know, we'll give you a discount and give you your money back.
We'll do better next time.
That's not good enough.
You're going to lose not only this customer, but your reputation in the country if you don't tell them.
How this happened.
They want an explanation.
So, Deep Margo, you got to tell me how this happened.
And then you got to explain to me what you've done to make sure this never happens again.
Nothing less than that is acceptable.
And I would say that when we're talking about something this big, nothing less than that is acceptable.
You just can't say, Well, I'm sorry, I'll try to do better next time somehow.
You got to say, How did this happen?
How did you miss this?
Why did you miss this?
And what have you changed about the way that you conduct your information?
That you give to people, that's not going to happen again.
And of course, we didn't get that, did we?
So the question is how does this help his credibility?
And are we going to just trade one hero for another hero?
Don't listen to Trump anymore.
I'm your hero now.
Trust me.
Don't trust Trump.
Trust Tucker now.
No, trust no one.
Do your own research.
The program should be the beginning of your research.
You know, it's going to give you some ideas and it should get you inspired to investigate further.
It's not designed, none of these programs should really be looked at as the final word on anything.
Always critically think about what you're hearing, regardless of who you hear it from.
You know, regardless of will you get it from me or not.
And so then the question is, and I've said this about Tucker before, how did he wind up doing this?
You know, you have, I remember during COVID, I criticized him.
You know, he would, they would force him to talk to, what was that doctor that they had?
I'm trying to think of his name.
Anyway, they had a doctor, and I remember it vividly.
He goes down to see Trump, and the two of them are not wearing masks.
So they're standing like 10 feet apart to do this interview.
It's kind of awkward.
And this guy, who's a big pharmaceutical pusher, big vaccine pusher, because that's what Fox is, that's where they make their money.
And just remember the.
Just remember the one that Woody Harrelson did on Saturday Night Live.
He had to do it live because if he'd recorded this, they would have shut it down.
But he goes, They gave me this movie script, and I sat down and read it in the park, and nobody would believe this.
It's like all the drug companies get together and they buy up all the media and all these government people and they force everybody to take their product.
I said, That's just too incredible.
Nobody would believe that.
And that was the punchline.
And again, Woody was smart enough to know that he was only going to be able to do that.
If he was in a live TV situation, otherwise that would have been pulled out by the people who have bought all the major networks and the politicians.
And so he would throw to this guy, I can't remember the guy's name, it's really bothering me.
It'll come to me eventually.
Most of the neurons are still there, they just operate very, very slowly.
Anyway, he'd talk to this guy, and so the two of them are talking and they go back and forth.
And so this Fox, quote unquote, doctor, Asks Trump, are you going to get the vaccine?
And he goes, well, I should get it.
I want to get it, but if I do it first, everybody will say I'm jumping ahead of the line.
If I don't get it right away, they'll say that I'm afraid to take it.
So they're talking about stuff like that.
And then Tucker, they made Tucker because he made it clear that he was a little bit concerned about it, but he didn't give any reasons for why somebody would be concerned about it.
Like, what?
Is he like Albert Borla?
Or what's the deal?
Why is he reluctant?
You should tell people why.
You should, if you're so afraid to take this stuff yourself, you should tell people why.
I mean, it just goes back to the biblical principle of the watcher on the wall.
If you see the people coming and you are the guy who's been given the duty to be the watcher, if you don't tell people, if you just run away yourself because you saw it coming and you let everybody else die, it's on you.
It's not necessarily, I mean, yeah, it's on the people who did the killing, it's on Trump and Pfizer.
Or the invading army, but it's also on you.
Because rather than tell people, you just ran away and saved yourself.
And so he's done that, in my opinion.
He came back from that.
So he throws to the guy, and it's kind of clear he's giving eye rolls and stuff like this when he comes back.
And he has a little bit of an interaction with this doctor.
And the doctor says something to him about it.
And he says, Well, I'm not taking it.
That's it.
That was his big resistance against what he now calls accurately the bioweapon.
So it's a bioweapon out there.
Well, I'm not taking it.
I'm running away.
I'm not going to tell people why I'm not taking it.
I'm not going to tell people what I saw with this.
I'm just going to run away and not take it.
How is that the right thing to do?
Here's what he has to say about the Trump genetic code injection.
You said something really interesting.
You didn't take the vax.
Thank God.
Literally, thank God.
Never once considered it.
I did neither.
So obviously, thank God.
But Trump did and encouraged everyone else to take it and then never apologized, even when it became clear that the vax had killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
There's never really been studied in this country, but millions, tens of millions.
I mean, they kill people, I know.
Me too.
Still killing people.
So I know young men now who took it who have myocarditis and other.
For sure.
It's weird cancer.
It was poison.
Look at the cancer rates, look at the fertility rates.
Like everything about it was a bioweapon aimed at us.
Yes.
And Trump didn't apologize for that.
I don't know all the things that I've just ignored or forced myself to ignore, whatever.
My flaws come out as I remember all of this and my shame emerges.
Well deserved shame.
But anyway, Trump is completely absent shame about it.
He, to this day, will still talk about the success of Operation Warp Speed, which allowed these things to come to market, which allowed the.
You know what he said to me?
I actually raised it with him because I'm so upset about it.
It's just killed too many people and it made too many women infertile.
And that's just the most evil thing ever.
And it's still on the schedule.
And it's so immoral.
It's hard to believe this is even happening.
Well, he goes on to say, I thought I had it in that clip, but he goes on to say, and Trump says to me, So you're not for vaccines at all?
You're not for polio?
You don't support the polio vaccine?
And he says, Oh, yeah.
So what he did was he just completely changed the subject.
We're talking about the COVID vaccine.
And he starts talking about the polio vaccine or just vaccines in general.
And he goes, I don't know anything about the polio vaccine.
And, you know, I don't know what to say about this.
And it's like, I look at it, it's like, that's your job, Tucker.
You're supposed to investigate this stuff.
You're not just there to entertain people and make money doing that, are you?
It's amazing to me.
He says, so it's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind or, oh, this is bad and I'm out.
So that's what he did.
And when you look at his brother, it's kind of interesting, isn't it, Travis?
It's amazing how much he reminds me of Alex Jones because Alex Jones has got his cousin, who's like a brother to him, named Buckley.
Tucker Carlson named his brother's name Buckley.
He named his son Buckley.
Tucker's son is named Buckley.
And what is it about Buckley?
Is it that these, this is the other thing that's common with him CIA families.
How many people do you know that are in the CIA?
How many people in your family are in the CIA?
Or any friends that you have who even have CIA family members?
I'd never known anybody that was in the CIA before.
And I consider that to be a major red flag because of what the CIA is.
But anyway, perhaps it's because they really admire William F. Buckley, who was a big promoter of the CIA.
He wrote novels, spy novels, and things like that.
And he was a big promoter of that.
And of course, the person who attacked the John Birch Society, genuine constitutional conservatives.
They are anathema to the CIA and people like William F. Buckley and the National Review.
So, again, think about that.
His father was not only CIA, but he was propaganda for the CIA, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, things like that.
So, anyway, Trump responded and said, Well, they're stupid people.
They know it, their families know it, everybody knows it.
Well, I think the reality is that both Trump and Tucker know how to con people.
And when you are a con man, you think that everybody is stupid.
When you're a thief, you think everybody is stupid.
They should have known better.
They got what they deserved.
They're too stupid to have that money.
I'm the one who deserves it.
I have seen that attitude over and over again.
Now, here in contrast is the way that it should be done.
Carrie Prejean Baller, as they talk about in this article from NBC, they're talking about all the different people who have abandoned Trump lately.
Here's Carrie Prejean Baller.
She was a Trump appointed member of the Religious Liberty Commission, as we've talked about, and she stood on her principles.
Of religious liberty.
And she got kicked out by a lot of these Zionists who don't care anything about Christ.
They don't care anything about liberty.
They don't care anything about free speech or the Constitution either.
They simply want their way.
They kicked her out.
Trump kicked her out.
First of all, she said to the guy who's lieutenant governor in Texas, he was the one who was the head of the commission.
And she said, You don't have the, Dan Patrick, you don't have the right to throw me out of this.
I was put in here by Trump, and he's the one.
Who throws me out?
Even if you're the head of the commission, you don't have the right to remove me.
And so then Trump removed her.
And so she said, Trump is an evil psychopath.
And she got that right.
But she stood on her integrity and she got thrown out.
Tucker didn't want to do that.
Remember when he talked about 9 11, what he said about 9 11, and I've played clips, shameful clips, of him shutting down the architects and engineers for 9 11 truth.
They wanted to show the clip.
Of the building, building seven collapsing and free fall, even though it was not even hit by a plane.
There were just some minor fires that had gone for a short period of time.
It's like, explain that, Tucker.
And so he'd say, Yeah, I got all these 9 11 people.
They want to talk to me about the melting temperature of steel and all the rest of these things.
Who cares about any of that stuff, right?
Is that the guy you want to get your information from?
The guy that doesn't care about that.
People tell me something about polio, and it's like, Well, I don't know anything about that, and I'm not going to look at it either.
And so he also said, you know, there's certain things you just can't talk about.
You can't talk about building seven or you get fired.
He said that after he was kicked out of Fox.
He knew where the lines were drawn, he knew what would get him fired from his job where he's making tens of millions of dollars a year.
And he chose not to go over those lines, not to warn people about losing their life and their health.
He chose to do that.
Talk about mea culpa.
It makes me sick to see people like Tucker and Alex Jones.
Doing this kind of stuff, deliberately deceiving people in order to jump on a bandwagon.
They're not leaders, they're followers.
They disgust me to have absolutely no integrity.
And so I'm sorry for misleading people, he says.
Well, is he going to do it again?
Or does he think now that his job is to actually investigate and learn something?
Or is it just to come up with sensational stuff to get eyeballs?
Again, like that, in that way, he's exactly like Alex Jones as well.
So he says he'll be tormented by the decision for a long time to come, not as much as he should be tormented.
Go look at the fathers and mothers who've lost their children.
Go look them in the eye if you want to be tormented, if you want to realize what you've actually done.
So while we're talking about this, there's an interesting story.
About AI and its ability to deceive.
This is a guy from India.
He was a medical student and he needed some money because it was costing him a lot of money.
So he's looking for ways to make money.
He thinks, well, you know, maybe what I can do is I can use AI to create a sexy looking avatar.
AI Deception and Means00:14:26
You know, I can create a girl that looks really sexy and I can sell softcore porn of this girl.
And so that wasn't working because that's just too easy for other people to do as well.
So I had a lot of competition in that.
And so, what he did was he asked, I think it was Gemini.
Yeah, he asked Gemini for advice.
First, he started YouTube Shorts and he sold study notes to other medical students, but he just wasn't making any money.
So, he thought, well, why not use an AI generated girl using Google Gemini's Nano Banana Pro?
And I can sell bikini photos of her online.
But then he started posting these generic photos of a beautiful, scantily clad woman on Instagram.
He was dismayed to find that none of the content was hitting.
So then he asked Gemini for advice.
And Gemini says, Well, if you create a generic hot girl, you're competing with a million other models.
So he presented Gemini with a few possible options to help his model stand out.
And the chatbot selected one in particular, the MAGA conservative niche, referring to it as such an easy thing.
He referred to it as a cheat code.
This is like this QFS nonsense.
I mean, they're still doing this quantum total BS, but they're doing it now over the Iran war instead of over the election, you know, the January 6th stuff, which Steve Pieczenik did.
And I read that to you.
And I said, this looks like it was written by either Steve Pieczenik or the people who wrote Steve Pieczenik's Sting Lie that kicked off Stop the Steal and all the rest of that stuff.
But they're constantly coming up with nonsense like that.
So, yeah, it is a cheat code to make money.
I remember Roger Stone saying after the election, he said, We're going to make a lot of money off the stop the steal thing.
He was the one who came up with the name Stop the Steal from the first Trump campaign.
And he said it was going to be like falling off a log.
And it was.
And none of them got in any trouble.
That should tell you something, shouldn't it?
Anyway, the conservative audience, especially older men in the U.S., often has higher disposable income and is more loyal, says Gemini.
So last January, this guy created Emily Hart, a registered nurse and Jennifer Lawrence lookalike.
He did it on an Instagram account for Emily.
He posted photos of her ice fishing, drinking Coors Light, and shooting off a few rounds at a rifle range.
And then he put captions like If you want a reason to unfollow, Christ is king, abortion is murder, all illegals must be deported.
And point of view, you were assigned intelligent at birth, but you now identify as a liberal.
Those are the buttons that he pushed on there.
Again, using Jesus to make this a guy who he's an Indian.
He's not a Christian.
He doesn't care about any of these issues.
He doesn't care about Christ either.
He said, however, the account blew up.
He said, every reel that I posted was getting 3 million views, 5 million views, 10 million views.
Within a month, Emily Hart had more than 10,000 Instagram followers, many of whom subscribed to her softcore AI generated content on OnlyFans competitor.
Of FanView.
So, between the FanView subscriptions and selling MAGA themed t shirts, one sample message said PTSD, pretty tired of stupid Democrats.
He estimated that he was making a few thousand dollars a month.
It's amazing when you look at how much of the MAGA idiots that are out there on Twitter, you know, the people who come up with stuff and that no matter what Trump does, they come up with some cheerleading thing.
And so many of them.
Are bots from other countries like India or whatever?
They just realized they can make a lot of money feeding this tribal delusion that is happening with the Trump followers.
They figured out what Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson figured out, and many of these other people who are now opposing Trump.
And so he said, in India, even in professional jobs, you can't make the kind of money that I was making.
I haven't seen an easier way to make money online.
Yeah, it is a cheat code, isn't it?
And so they say in this article the influencers are created from a specific template.
They tend to be white, blonde, and with jobs like emergency responders.
A lot of them are cops, firefighters, or EMTs.
They also incorporate right wing views into all of their content.
They rail about immigration or the Epstein file.
Well, there's one of my problems, I guess, railing about immigration.
I rail about ICE and the police state.
I want to get the immigration stuff under control.
Don't get me wrong.
But I am more worried about the means that Trump has been using than I am even the end of our society.
Because that is the end of our society.
And it ends in a much worse ending than being overrun by foreign culture, to be overrun by a domestic police state.
That has artificial intelligence behind it.
That is my greatest concern.
And so I guess a lot of people see me as soft on immigration because of that.
I'm not soft on immigration at all.
But anyway, or they pose in American flag bikinis.
I don't do that either.
So believe me, you don't want to see me in American flag bikini or in MAGA hats.
And I would never pose in a MAGA hat either.
I've never put one of those on my head.
I've never had a MAGA hat and I will never have a MAGA hat.
Not at all.
So we're going to take a quick break.
And before we do, I have a mea culpa.
I have a correction that I need to make.
And I want to thank Ryan for the love of the road for pointing this out.
He said the Trump clip that I've shown several times where he criticizes Israel for a load of bad bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
He said that was not, I was under the impression.
That happened after Israel violated the ceasefire.
And so I played that many times and said, well, so everybody knows that that was a part of the agreement, even though they've been very careful not to release the agreement.
What does that tell you?
They keep it quiet because they want to lie to you about it.
And we've seen the Trump administration do this last year with a memorandum of understanding with Panama.
There was one that was published.
That was in Spanish, and another one that they didn't publish that was in English.
And the Panamanian paper that's in Spanish got the English version and they noticed that it was different and they published both of them.
So the response from the American government, the Trump regime, excuse me, was to completely remove the American one so that nobody can have access to it on the website because they want to have two separate agreements because they're nothing but liars and thieves.
So it truly is amazing.
So, they're going to continue to lie to you and say, Yeah, we got this agreement, we got this treaty.
And they give one version to the other side and another version, they say, That's our treaty.
They never have the intent to abide by any agreements, treaties, memorandums of understanding.
Never.
Truly is amazing.
Anyway, we've seen that kind of stuff before.
And what we saw with this ceasefire agreement was you had Iran and the people who were the mediators in it, Pakistan, both of them said, Well, this included Lebanon.
Trump, I thought, was complaining about the fact that they had violated from the very beginning.
And then he came back around and said, well, it was never in there to start with.
And I thought the sequence was that they violated it.
He criticized them.
He gets a call from Netanyahu and then he takes Netanyahu's side on this, saying that it was never a part of the agreement.
So I was wrong about that.
I'm not wrong about Trump being a liar and a warmonger and a thief, but I was wrong about those details.
So, it's important to make that correction.
And I want to thank Ryan for doing that.
Again, I can be wrong about things.
And I try to do the best I can with research.
And you need to do your own research.
And when you find that there's a disagreement, please tell me.
And if you're right and I'm wrong, I will mention it on air.
And so that's my mea culpa that's there.
But we're going to take a quick break.
Actually, before we do, we've got some comments here.
Were these from today or yesterday?
These are from today.
Okay.
Bin Laden Bernanke.
Norm MacDonald's the George Carlin of his era.
He despised all the politician actors and actors, never picked sides, lost his SNL job by tearing up OJ Simpson.
Yeah, that was a lot of fun to watch that.
Well, it appears now murder is legal in the state of California.
That's right.
I'm not a Carlin fan.
He has some funny lines.
I'll give him that.
But he's a very cynical, very malicious person.
I don't like him.
I don't respect him.
And you'll notice in that bit he does, it says, It's a big club and you ain't in it, not we ain't in it.
And a man as smart as George Carlin paints himself to be doesn't make a mistake like that.
He doesn't do that.
Well, you have a lower opinion of him than I do.
I actually liked his stuff.
I could have watched him.
And I think I have a problem with him is that they just don't like his stand up.
I don't find his stand up very funny.
I find it all very acerbic and biting and angry.
He was a very bitter, angry person.
And a man that rich, a man with that much in his life, has no right to be that bitter and angry.
Sorry.
You and I are pretty bitter and angry and cynical about things, aren't we?
I mean, you know, that's a.
Life is good.
Cut him a little bit of slack there.
No, I don't like George Carlin.
When you look at politics, I got to cut him some slack on that.
Don't like George Carlin.
I just don't like his.
The problem is that it's fine to be cynical and you can even be bitter about being ripped off by these people, but you got to have some hope in life, right?
And he didn't have any hope in life.
He rejected Christ.
And so, you know, that, to me, that is.
The ultimate black field.
You know, one of the things that's come out recently, Travis, is he used to joke about how he had this immune system that was ironclad because he used to swim in the sewage laden Hudson River, whatever it was that runs through New York.
And it turns out that there's a lot of truth to that.
Just saw some articles.
Now, that I believe.
Now, Georgie was right about that.
Absolutely was.
In the early days, he wasn't that cynical.
He was really funny.
He had a thing, he was a hippy dippy weatherman.
And he made fun of the hippies.
That's how he got his start.
I like those bits where he's on other places, but 90 minutes of George Carlin is suffering, it is pain.
And I compare him once again to Norm MacDonald.
Norm MacDonald died a very painful, very sad death, but he never told anyone.
He bore that on himself because he's like, I'm a comedian.
My job is to make people laugh.
I'm not going to burden them with my suffering.
And he was funny and witty right up until the end.
So that I respect.
Yeah.
That's right.
Birdhouse Blues.
Rumble is still saturated with MAGA content creators.
Amazing.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, look who owns it.
Yeah.
Dan Bongino.
Dan Bongino still has an audience.
Amazing.
Jesse Lee Peterson.
Amazing.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Did we lose our comments from yesterday?
Because we had some really good ones that we did.
Oh, I might be able to retrieve them.
I'll see if I can get them back during the break.
All right.
So we're going to take a break and we'll come back.
And if we've got some of those comments we didn't get to yesterday, we'll talk about those and come back because there were some good ones.
We'll be right back.
Night show.
APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device.
Get the APS Radio app today and listen wherever you go.
All right, welcome back.
And you were able to retrieve the comments you said?
I was indeed.
All right.
Command Z is a powerful tool.
Okay, so let's talk about some of the comments we didn't get to yesterday.
Exposing Fake Wrestling Tricks00:02:13
That's right.
Stealth Patriot.
We missed this yesterday, but thank you very much for the tip.
He says, I saw a study a few years ago about psilocybin mushrooms for treating cluster headaches.
They had to do it outside of the United States.
Because of the drug classification, war on drug, you know?
I feel like a lot of Americans might stop getting cluster headaches if they simply were not in the United States.
I wonder if they'll spike around April 15th.
I'd be very curious to find out.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, you know, the thing is, the war on drugs has not worked at all.
And that was really what I was talking about.
Of course, the FDA doesn't work.
The war on drugs doesn't work.
Homeland Security doesn't work.
Nothing in government works.
And we should be grateful when it doesn't work.
We don't want to get all the government that we pay for, quite frankly.
Hi, Boost says Trump murdered his own supporters to further his campaign.
There was a lot of people on the fence, and after the fake ass attempt, they all jumped on the Trump train again.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what we should call it.
Instead of the fake assassination attempt, we should call it the fake ass attempt.
It really was.
And that's in response to a video that I put together yesterday of all these professional wrestlers who talked about how they hide razor blades in various places and cut themselves when they go down on the ground.
Come up bleeding.
And I said, Yeah, this is a guy who lived in that world.
Donald Trump lived in the WWE world.
He was there all the time with Vince McMahon, and they were doing silly stuff like that together.
So he would know how to do that.
And there was a video that I played just a little bit of.
Mostly I didn't play the part where the wrestler was showing John Stossel how to pull off some of these tricks, but he was talking about how he cut himself.
But in that expose that John Stossel did on.
Professional wrestling back in the mid 1980s.
They were throwing each other around, and he said, Yeah, look, I can do this.
This is a big guy.
And the guy did all the work.
He made it look like he was picking the guy up and tossing him, but the other guy was doing all the work.
So, yeah, the whole thing was fake.
Yeah.
And if he had stuck to wrestling, none of us would have this much of a problem with him.
Real Jason Barker, that pause was so the blood had time to run, probably.
Infinite God vs Finite Mind00:06:23
That's right.
Yeah.
He may not have been sweating enough, you know.
Zog Slave.
I love it, Jason.
Zog Slave says his buddy Vince Trump made his wife Department of Education head.
That's right.
Linda McMahon, I believe, is her name.
That's right.
Guard Goldsmith.
And of course, real Jason Barker, you can find him at Nights of the Storm.
And you can go to nightsothestorm.com to see schedules there.
They do a great broadcast.
Excuse me.
Guard Goldsmith, and you can find him at Liberty Conspiracy, says, Remember Evander Holyfield's ear after Tyson bit it?
And though the skin healed, the cartilage never did beneath that skin.
Yeah, when that happened, I think I played that joke.
There was a joke that we, a meme that we used to have back in the day.
And it was Mike Tyson selling Cheerios.
He was on the box, but they were called Eerios.
And they were ear shaped little breakfast cereal.
About Tyson biting the air.
That's right.
Cartilage does not grow back.
And again, if that had nicked him, you would have seen that nick forever.
Yeah.
Boxing is probably the only combat sport I find mildly interesting to watch, but modern boxing is really lame.
Really, really lame.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. had a detrimental effect on it.
Front Porch Media says prayer is extra dimensional.
That's right.
You know, we're talking about multi dimensional beings yesterday.
And, you know, the fact that got all these scientists.
Now, some of them are saying, well, we think reality is seven dimensional, not four dimensional, not the three dimensional aspect of space and then the fourth one of time, but seven dimensions.
And we've had a lot of other people who are heavily involved in string theory that say 12 dimensions.
And so, yeah, that helps to explain, I think, what we're really seeing with the UFOs.
But the fundamental explanation is one that is spiritual.
And it is one, of course, that is going to agree with the Bible because that is our foundation for truth.
Alien Poop Evolution says the flood story explains the landscape better than the UN.
Yeah, that's right.
And you know, it is interesting, too, when you look at things like the Tower of Babel, you have secular anthropologists who all agree that that's why they call that area the cradle of civilization.
It's just kind of strange.
We had all these different civilizations.
We had the European civilization, the Asian civilization, India, and all.
They all sprung up at about the same time.
How did that happen?
Why did all of a sudden, why did you go for millions and millions of years, they think?
Uh, and nothing happened, and then all of a sudden, boom, just like that, you wind up with all these different civilizations at the same time.
Well, the Bible has an answer for that.
Oh, you know, eventually, I guess you just get tired of living in trees or something, you know.
Yeah, spontaneously generate a civilization just like that.
Yeah, also on the head of aliens, we actually had a very noted UFO grifter commit suicide on the 20th, David Wilcock.
So, yeah, I saw his name, and I, you know, again, there'll be people saying that he didn't commit suicide, but.
Yeah, it's very sad, but when you spend much of your life deceiving people and isolating yourself, it's not a good way to live your life.
It's very sad to see that, though.
Yeah.
Real Jason Barker, my house was leveled by a tornado, but fortunately, another tornado came through and built me a bigger one a month later.
Yeah, that's the other thing.
Tornado in a junkyard, that's some of the easiest ways to refute this idea of evolution.
And as one person pointed out, let's say that I got a bunch of papers.
On my desk, and they're all disordered and everything.
And I've got the window open, and somehow you got a wind that comes through, and that wind is going to put everything in order.
No, that doesn't happen.
It takes intelligence, takes design to put that in order.
If you add something like wind or chaos or a big bang or whatever to something that doesn't have an intelligence that's ordering it, it just gets even more disordered.
That's the reality.
They use that example of, oh, if you have infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters, eventually they'll compose all the works of Shakespeare.
But the thing is, that misframes it because a monkey is something that has fingers and could punch a typewriter, has some sort of will there.
These forces that they're saying created everything have no will.
They're not a monkey at a typewriter.
They have no basis in statistics or mathematics to do that either.
What happens if you multiply zero times zero times zero times zero?
You don't get some infinitely large number.
And that's basically what you're talking about the probability of some intelligent coordinated design and all this stuff.
They're right.
It is like a Shakespeare novel, but it's not going to be done at random.
What they do with all that stuff, Travis, is they basically throw in.
An infinite amount of time.
And so it's a very clever trick.
If you can't imagine an infinite amount of time, and who among us can?
It's something we can't really even fathom.
If you throw that in, then of course, oh, well, now I guess since I can't understand that, I guess that could be a creative force.
I don't know.
No, the reality is that you don't get something from nothing, you never do.
There always had to be some pre existent thing, self existent.
That is the very definition of God.
And so the atheists don't have a theory that can even stand a logical scrutiny.
The only thing that stands scrutiny is that there is a creator God that is above and outside of the system that always existed.
That is God.
That's why the heavens declare his glory.
And day after day, they pour out speech.
Yeah, I've said this before, but the Bible makes sense where it's supposed to make sense, and it doesn't make sense where it's supposed to not make sense.
In the sense of you can't wrap your mind around the concept of an infinite God fully.
You can understand that, yeah, there is a God, but he has to be infinite for it to make sense.
And therefore, it doesn't make sense because you're limited.
We're all finite.
There's no possible way for us to grasp these concepts.
Yeah, that's right.
We have Jason Barker again says, So if we don't stand with Israel, then it would be the end of the USA.
More like the other way around, Israel would not exist without our continual welfare to them.
That's absolutely right.
Technocrats Sell an Arms Race00:14:39
Well, let's talk a little bit about a guy who is not only a Zionist, but he is also a technocrat.
I think the better term is techno fascism.
I haven't used that because the problem is the left calls everybody that's not that far left, they call everybody else a fascist.
So it's an overused term, it's an abused term.
It's kind of lost its meaning, kind of like racist.
Yeah, there are racists out there, but they call everybody racist.
So, from that standpoint, it loses its ability.
Now, he's got an American dream.
It's not your American dream, it's his dream, his dream of an American empire.
And so, he put together this is Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir.
And just to fill you in on the background, you probably heard me talk about this before, but Peter Thiel was the chief venture capitalist who put this together.
Alex Karp has been the guy that has run this, and both of them have been fixtures at Bilderberg for a very long time, especially Alex Karp.
And he has made all of his money selling surveillance to tools and control tools like that to governments.
And so he has put together his manifesto.
That's another red flag.
Whenever you see somebody put together a manifesto, it says this person is something of a megalomaniac.
And a narcissist.
Yeah.
See, that's why I don't keep a diary in case something ever happens, someone finds it.
That's what it's going to be called.
They're going to be like, manifesto found.
And you don't want that headline.
Yeah.
But especially when you call it a manifesto yourself.
And what it is, is it's a distillation.
You did this a couple of days ago.
Uh, came out with 22 points.
Uh, kudos to him for not having to make it something ending in zero or five.
That's what people typically do, right?
In which case, they usually wind up padding it with some unnecessary stuff.
But he came up with 22 points, and it is a distillation of what was in his book, The Technological Republic.
I thought that was a very important book to read.
I got it on the day that it came out, and I talked about it some on the show as well.
Nobody cared at all, nobody cares.
About that.
And I look at Palantir for the longest time.
I thought it's one of the most dangerous things since sliced bread because they want to slice our society up like the bread slicer.
Okay.
So I've always been on Palantir and I thought it was amazing the hubris and the fact that they basically owned what they were all about.
There was a reason talks about it and they said, well, there's going to be all these people making all these Lord of the Rings analogies.
It's like, Hey, it's the company itself that's making all these Lord of the Ring analogies.
They're the ones that came up with Palantir, and that is their emblem.
It's like a crystal ball with a V shaped thing over it, which maybe it's the hands on it or something.
But I said, for the longest time, and it was part of their corporate culture.
If you go to their website where they're talking about themselves, all this stuff about the Shire and this and that.
And I said, no, actually, what they're telling you is they are the Eye of Sauron.
And if you know the Lord of the Rings, actually, they're really more like Sauron Man.
So, that has been their design for the longest time.
And I pointed out when I did my report on it I said, you know, if you think about the Palantir from Lord of the Rings, it was this kind of crystal ball that was designed for the kings to be able to communicate with each other at a long distance, right?
So, kind of similar to the internet.
You know, the internet was about communication over long distance and things like that.
And then what happened was the evil side, Sauron or Sour Man or whatever, but it's actually Sauron, took that over.
And he used it as something where if you think that you're going to communicate or see something somewhere else, they wound up perverting it and giving it the kind of power where it could see into you.
And I said, that's exactly what this is because it's geospatial intelligence.
You use the internet, and this thing is looking at what you're looking at, it's looking at where you're going or whatever.
It's getting all this geospatial intelligence and it's scraping all your personal information and it is looking inside of you to predict and to manipulate you.
And so that's what it's really about.
And his book was not about creating a republic.
His book is about creating an American empire, a militarized empire that is aggressive, that is attacking other people, like the empire that we've got today under Trump.
That's exactly what this guy wanted to have.
It's what the technocrats want to have.
And so this has nothing to do with the Republic.
It's all about dominance, power, centralization.
These are the aspects of empire.
They are not the aspects of the Republic.
The Republic is about power being distributed amongst the people.
This is not about that at all.
This is not your American dream.
This is your American nightmare.
It is his dream of empire, of a techno fascist empire.
And so let's take a look at some of the things that he talks about.
Again, this guy worships the state.
And if you look at his 22 points, I think it helps to understand that what this really is is this is a marketing proposal.
He is talking to people in government and bureaucrats who themselves worship the state, worship power, want centralization, want an empire.
That's where he's made his money.
He's made a lot of it, especially with Trump.
But he was getting very big with that before, and he's doing a lot of work for governments.
And it should raise people's concerns as to.
What the designs of these people are.
And yet, he gets a pass on this.
A lot of people don't pay attention.
He's now starting to get some attention, finally.
And so let's take a look at his different points.
The very first one Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible.
The engineering elite of Silicon Valley have an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
Well, the bottom line is that when you look at everything he wants to do, what he's essentially saying throughout his book.
Is that, yes, they owe a debt to American society, but let's rebel against it.
As a matter of fact, that's kind of how he summed up his book.
So the rebellion is against the rule of law, the rebellion is against the culture, against the morality that created this nation.
That's what they're rebelling against.
So, yeah, they owe a debt, but they think that their debt is paid simply by making the American empire a great military power and keeping it that way.
And so he's not looking at liberty.
He's not looking at the rule of law.
He's looking at empire.
He's looking at power.
And that's the key thing.
You know, that's the subtitle of his book is about power.
And that's the only thing this guy is concerned about.
That's why people are saying he's monologuing like a supervillain that's out there.
So he says free email is not enough.
The decadence of culture or civilization will be forgiven.
Only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
So, he thinks that if you are not out there trying to dominate other people or make money, you know, then you're decadent, right?
And yet, the reality is that there's decadence, the kind of decadence that he is turning the other cheek on.
He does call out the woke society and other things because he sees it as weak and as a weakness.
Sorry to cut you off.
Lance and I are about to trade places, and we've got a comment here that I do want to read from Radis Bro.
I want to say thank you very much for the tip.
And this is about David Wilcox.
Says, Was that real?
Haven't found anything concrete on that.
I have followed him.
For a long time, and his guy at TV days says, Oh man, yeah, it seems to be real.
Most sources are reporting on it.
So I do think he has killed himself.
And well, I saw that he was found dead.
I didn't know, you know.
Allegedly, he called the police, and when they got there, he shot himself.
Oh, that's that's what I've seen.
It's very sad.
If you would like a good channel on YouTube that does a lot of deep dives into UFO grifters, it's called Truth Seekers Show.
You can check that out.
He's done a really good job covering David Wilcock and his many scams over the years, but it seems to be real.
And again, very sad to hear that.
Well, if he had something on something called Gaia TV, I've talked many times about the Gaia theory.
That's not something that you can put your trust into at all.
Well, let's get back to this because we've got Gerald Slenty coming up in just a couple of minutes.
I wanted to get through some more of this.
So he says the question again is not whether AI weapons will be built, but it's who's going to build them and for what purpose.
In other words, he's selling this arms race idea to the people.
Hey, if you don't do it, the other guys are going to do it and they will rule you.
He says, national service, and this is one of the things that really got him headlines with this national service is a universal duty.
We should all, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
Well, how about we ask the question of what the purpose of the war is?
Is it justified or not?
None of that kind of stuff ever comes into play with these people.
They have absolutely zero understanding of a just war.
And of course, the empires always love slaves.
So, yes, you should be enslaved to fight the wars that they want to do.
He also says that the limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed.
The ability of a free and democratic society to prevail requires something more than moral appeal.
Really, it requires hard power.
And hard power in this century will be built on software.
And he keeps coming back to that theme where he talks about, yeah, the previous power distribution was over nuclear power, nuclear bombs, right?
And so now we have to make it over artificial intelligence.
That's the new nuclear bomb.
Well, if you're going to make your hard power based on software, I'm sorry, what are the, why do we call it hardware?
Why do we call it software?
Well, you know, hardware is fixed, isn't it?
Right?
It is a fixed physical thing.
The software is not.
It's kind of ephemeral.
It is constantly changing.
It's constantly, it's volatile.
It's constantly being manipulated and that type of thing.
That is not the basis for anything that is real.
That's why we're talking about the difference between hardware and software.
And we see it all the time.
I mean, just look at your phone.
You get an update and all of a sudden it's busted.
Or we're going to put all of the military under software control and it gets hacked.
Or we have an error in it and we take it down ourselves without knowing it.
It's not the basis for anything, but it's what he's selling.
That's why I said, if you understand what he's doing, there's some very dangerous stuff.
I think the most dangerous aspect of artificial intelligence is a way to be co opted by government, especially by the military and by the police state.
That's what we should be concerned about.
We've got Jack Dorsey out there.
You've got, I don't, I'm just going to summarize some of the stuff because we've got to go really quickly.
Jack Dorsey.
Is saying, well, I want to.
He's just fired about 40% of his company, went from 10,000 employees down to 6,000.
And he says, I want to use AI to make sure that I'm only like two or three levels different from any given employee.
And I want to get that down to where it's just one to one.
Well, if he keeps going the way he's going, he'll be down to just one employee pretty soon.
Fire everybody, just keep his AI bots around him.
But you've got Mark Zuckerberg kind of doing the same sort of thing.
He's working very hard to make a 3D.
Avatar that's going to look very real, you know, turn around and, you know, as it turns, it'll have his side profile and all this kind of stuff.
You talk about the ultimate narcissism.
And the purpose of that, he says, he's going to imbue this AI avatar of himself in a full 3D representation.
He's going to give it the way that he thinks and so forth.
So you'll be able to ask Mark, you know, what do I, what should I do about this?
What do you think about this?
And his avatar, his art, AI will tell you what he would like for you to do.
I mean, you talk about the ego of these people.
It truly is astounding.
And there was, let me just throw this in as well.
There was also a story about an AI store that a couple of guys who have an AI business that they want to help people with AI that's going to help them manage their store.
So what they did was they set up a credit card account, put $100,000 on it, and then turned it over to AI and said, you.
Start up your store with this small retail store selling candles and some things like that.
So it came up with its own design, did its own website, did some of the other stuff like that.
And they said, Yeah, it did a pretty good job.
Problem is, first day, it forgets to staff any humans.
So there's nobody in the store.
And so, yeah, this is kind of a characteristic of AI slop.
They can do all these design products, do a store layout, and all this other kind of advertising website.
But how do we get the product on the shelf?
And how do we.
How do we handle people coming through the door, the actual rubber meets the road type of thing?
So there's some major blind spots in all this stuff.
But the key thing that I took away from Alex Scarp's book, which was really frightening, and we've seen some very frightening proposals from this guy.
I mean, he gets uncontrollably excited about the money that he's making, about the people that he's killing.
I mean, we've seen clips from this guy where he's boasting about that.
Yeah, we're going to wipe those people out.
You're going to criticize Israel, we'll just take you out next time.
That's what.
Empire Driven by War00:11:08
Should let us do.
And of course, he's been working very hard with ICE to identify people because that is the prototype for the police surveillance state, what ICE is doing.
And Palantir is right there.
His contracts have exploded under Donald Trump.
And so he puts stuff in like this in terms of, again, I said this is a best read as a marketing document to the people that he's selling stuff to.
He says public servants need to be our priests.
Are priests?
He says, Yeah, we have had a lot of priests and pastors who have abused children, haven't we?
So I guess there's a little bit of an overlap in the Venn diagram.
And any business that compensates its employees in the way the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
Now, if you are a bureaucrat, don't you want to buy product from this guy?
He's on your side.
He wants you to get a bigger salary.
And if you are one of the people running the government, he thinks that it is a.
That you deserve more grace.
He said, We should have more grace for those who have subjected themselves to public life.
The eradication of any space for forgiveness, a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and the contradictions of human nature that are there.
So, yeah, let's just give these guys some slack.
It's a tough job.
And Bill Clinton and Trump, they just need to blow off some steam and go to Epstein Island, right?
We shouldn't judge them.
Don't judge me, bro.
So, we should cut them some slack and we should understand just how important they are.
We should understand that the bureaucrats are priests.
I mean, do you know what a priest is?
You know, a priest is somebody that was supposedly representing you to God, you know, in a sense, a go between between you and God.
So, is he the God that we're going between?
I don't know why he visions that, envisions that, I should say.
But he says, No other country in the world, in the history of the world, Has advanced progressive values more than this one.
The United States is far from perfect, but it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in the country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
And talks about how it's made possible an extraordinarily long peace, except it hasn't.
We have been at a constant state of war since the end of World War II.
And it's because we are an empire.
We're not talking about pulling up the drawbridge.
And living on our own, that was not what the founders wisely were talking about.
They said, let's have peaceful commerce and relations with people, but not any entangling alliances.
And we don't want to get caught up in their wars.
Certainly, you don't want to start a war.
I mean, that was just understood.
And so he said, we need to applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act.
Why did the market not act?
Was there no demand or interest for this?
Is it because you're pushing and making a lot of money off of something that nobody wants?
I really don't understand what he's doing.
By the way, you know that Gerald is joining us.
And has he not joined us yet?
He has not.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, let me know when he does.
The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service.
So, this is a guy who's running the surveillance state.
He wants to know everything about you.
But we shouldn't have any ruthless surveillance of the politicians who rule us.
Isn't that so?
Is that newsworthy?
Or we've been seeing this for the longest time.
As I say, they demand to know everything about you, but you are not allowed to know anything about them personally, not allowed to know anything about what they do.
As a matter of fact, if we get a ceasefire, we're not allowed to even see what the ceasefire is.
You got Lindsey Graham saying, Yeah, we don't need to have a vote or a discussion about the war.
He can just go to war.
But if we're going to have a peace, we need to talk about that.
I need to see that peace proposal.
And the Congress needs to vote on a peace proposal, but not on war.
I mean, we just get to do whatever we wish with it.
It truly is amazing.
He makes this pitch for the police state as well.
He says Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime.
Many politicians across the U.S. have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime.
Well, you know, they do that when it comes to potholes as well.
Have you got a fix at Palantir for potholes?
Or building roads or anything.
No, you don't have that either, do you?
Okay.
Well, he says violent crime, they shrug when it comes to that, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or to take on any risk with their constituencies or donors and coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save our lives.
There we go.
Got to have a surveillance police state for safety, right?
And you need to be.
Strong and take the criticisms of the people who don't want a police state.
You need to understand that it's in their best interest.
Yeah, the market may not like this, but we're going to shove this down your throat, just like a police state.
And we want to save your lives.
We're doing this for your own good.
You just are too stupid to understand that, right?
It is a pretty amazing manifesto.
And again, I'm rushing through this.
There's a lot of other points that I wrote down that I didn't have time to cover.
But just, To pull back and look at the perspective, Palantir paid zero federal income tax in 2025 as it partnered with ICE and the Pentagon.
This is a guy who is cheerleading the government, milking the government.
He wants people to be drafted so they've got some skin in the game, but he's not even going to pay some of his exorbitant profits and taxes.
Utter hypocrisy.
So, we need to go fight his wars for him.
We need to go kill the people that his AI targets.
But he's not going to pay any taxes.
He's going to get money from the government.
It's kind of like Planned Parenthood, right?
They get tax exempt status, they get government money as well.
And we must not question any of that.
Palantir has landed multiple massive contracts under the Trump administration $1.6 billion in net income.
Last year.
So the stock more than doubled in value the first half of 2025 alone.
In a report to shareholders, the company said it was crushing expectations in terms of growth with revenue growing, and that was their term, crushing revenue growing 93% year over year by the end of 2025.
And with all that, they pay nothing in taxes.
We've seen this movie over and over again, haven't we?
The practice has been present for many years, but it got worse.
Under the Trump administration, the tax breaks pushed as part of the one big beautiful bill and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, right?
But your responsibility is to buy their products, pay for your surveillance, and go fight their wars for them.
And when he talks about his profits and how they're crushing expectations, he also loves the fact that they are crushing the enemies of America and Israel.
He is part of the Zog.
He is part of the Zionist occupied government, no doubt about it.
There are at least 88 major profitable U.S. companies that have avoided paying any federal income taxes in 2025.
Palantir is one of them, Tesla is another one.
Companies like Southwest and United Airlines, military contractors like Honeywell, utility companies like American Electric Power, Dominion Energy, and Duke Energy, and even an entertainment company like Walt Disney.
There was an article just came out the last couple of days talking about how much they have raised their prices at the parks.
And interestingly enough, Karen's mom is here visiting us, and we were showing her some movies of when the boys were very young, you know, three to six years old, and we took them to the park.
And it would cost $219, I think, was the amount that they've raised it to per person, per park, per day.
Just absolutely unbelievable.
And of course, Disney World opened up in Orlando, which wasn't very far from where I lived in Tampa.
It was only about an hour drive from where we lived.
And when it opened up, I remember my dad, who was very frugal about things.
And one of the things that got him most excited about Walt Disney World was that it had no admission fee.
And so we'd just drive over there, drive an hour and go over there.
And you paid for parking, and it was reasonable.
And you could walk into the park, and you could eat at the restaurants, and they were reasonable as well.
Restaurants were all different levels, you know, whatever you wanted to spend.
You could go get a burger at the Pinocchio house or whatever.
And so you could just walk around the park and then take in the fireworks at the end of the night.
They sold the rides, had tickets, books of tickets.
And so you could buy a book and you could use it multiple visits.
You didn't have to.
It wasn't until Michael Eisner came in that they had this big fee, and now all the rides are free once you get in.
And then that created a problem because when you start to make stuff free, Everybody piles in on it.
You know, the tickets were a way to ration things, and then you wound up with such a big line that you couldn't get into anything.
But that's just typical of what is happening.
Look at how the price of that has gone sky high.
I mean, we couldn't afford to take the kids to see that today.
Not that I would want to because of what Disney has become.
But they get, they pay zero taxes.
They also get a tremendous amount of subsidies for their fireworks, saying they're doing it for some kind of a government study or something like that.
So, again, The government that this has become, he's not talking about a technocratic republic or technological republic.
He is talking about an empire.
Everything this guy wants to do is about war and empire.
War is the lifeblood of the state, especially when that state is a bureaucratic empire, as the American government is.
It absolutely is a very disturbing document to see what he put there.
And he has a.
Matter of fact, other countries like the UK, they're very concerned about this as well when they look at the contracts that their government has put in.
The Lifeblood of the State00:03:23
Well, we have Gerald Sinti ready to join us.
And so I want to cut and go to him before we do.
Birdhouse Blues has a comment Palantir sells branded shirts, apparel, and accessories on their official web store for $65.
And they're sold out.
I wonder if I wear a Palantir shirt, does that give me a pass on some of the flock cameras and the.
The biometric surveillance.
Oh, he's a good guy.
He's got one of our shirts.
Let's leave him alone.
I don't know.
What they need to sell is some of those camouflage shirts that confuse the cameras and the ones that are reading what you're doing.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with Gerald Salenti.
And we're going to talk about where we are with this empire that has taken us to war and keeping us in war.
We'll be right back.
David Knight Show.
David Knight Show.
I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly.
Contradictory Statements on Peace00:15:25
We can do whatever we want.
Nobody's swimming in the straits, though.
It should be ending pretty soon.
Yeah, ending pretty soon.
Well, CNN put together a montage of how many times has Donald Trump told us that the war is going to end pretty soon?
Here we are, eight weeks into the war that was going to last for three or four weeks.
It's going to be finished pretty quickly.
I do see a deal in Iran, you know.
Mr. President, we are going to finish the job, and we're going to finish it very fast.
Getting very close.
I think it's close to over, yeah.
I mean, I view it as very close to over.
I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly.
We can do whatever we want.
And it should be ending pretty soon.
Yeah, it should be.
It shouldn't have started in the first place, but that's where we are right now.
We're still trying to get some audio with Gerald, and we're having some issues with it.
So we're going to talk about the war as well as the economy and gold and other things like that when we get Gerald on.
But when you look at what Trump is doing, I got to say, I'm getting so sick and tired of the lies from this guy and the fact that he's changing his story constantly.
As one article, I think it's from RT, put up.
You know, he told seven lies in just one speech, constantly flipping positions on this stuff.
It's not just taco.
The guy is constantly throwing out false narratives just to see how people are going to react to it or for his own aggrandizement or to try to make things more popular.
I saw yesterday on the Drudge Report, the headline, they had a picture at the very top of the Drudge Report.
They had Trump and Jimmy Carter.
And they said, Trump has now approached the popularity of Jimmy Carter.
I've been saying that for a long time.
I've said for the longest time, haven't I?
That Trump was going to be the Jimmy Carter of the GOP.
As a matter of fact, I think he's going to be worse for the GOP than Jimmy Carter was for the Democrats.
And for good reason.
You know, Jimmy Carter was horrible.
His policies were horrible.
He had this general malaise of, well, we're failing and there's nothing we can do about it.
We're in decline.
Well, Trump is out there boasting about how everything is successful and yet people can see exactly the opposite is true.
And that's even more damaging, I think.
Because then, you know, when you know that you're being lied to about it, you see the reality of what is happening there.
And of course, he's not a nice person either.
By all accounts, Jimmy Carter came across as a nice guy, but certainly not Donald Trump.
So I think he's going to be far more of an albatross around the neck of the Republicans than Jimmy Carter ever was, and for good reason, I think.
So his messaging on Iran has shifted in three days since he said that Tehran agreed to everything.
You know, he says they don't have any capability to shoot down our planes, and then immediately.
You have several planes that have been shot down right after that happens.
They don't have any missiles left.
Then they do a big barrage of missiles.
They can't close the strait.
Only I can close the strait.
Then you have American ships, other ships that are fired upon.
And so, again, we immediately see everything the man says is a lie.
And so I think instead of taco, they should say tell.
It's kind of a tell, just like when he says that something about 92%, that's the number that he always throws out when he's just making it up.
It's 92% finished, the war is, or whatever.
He always throws that out there.
I think it should be, instead of taco, it should be tell.
Trump, everything is literally a lie, right?
That is the tell.
So again, the president has shared contradictory statements.
That's the way CBS News puts it.
Because now they're owned by one of his donor owners.
And so, you don't want to say that Trump is lying.
You just want to say he has shared contradictory statements.
It's kind of like what happened with the Bezos satellite.
They put it up, they got it in the wrong orbit, and it's going to have to fall down from the sky.
So, they don't say we got it in the wrong orbit or we screwed up.
They say it was in a suboptimal position and it's going to have to be returned or whatever.
Flowery language to try to hide the meaning, but he's not sharing contradictory statements, folks.
He is flat out lying.
Telling the New York Post on Monday morning that the U.S. delegation, including Vance, would arrive in Islamabad Monday night, but after the president said that a White House official said the U.S. delegation had not even left yet, but rather it plans to travel to Islamabad soon.
We don't know when, but soon.
He says it's already going to be landing there today.
Without a date given, Iran said Monday that it has no current plans to return to the peace talks.
So, again, nothing, you know, why cover somebody who is a known liar when there's absolutely nothing that the guy says that is true?
Friday afternoon, April 17th, Trump says Iran has, quote, agreed to everything.
Then Friday evening, Trump says, I don't think there's too many significant differences still with Iran.
Wait a minute, you just said they agreed to everything.
Now you're saying, well, we got our differences, but I don't think they're.
Too many that are significant.
The president said little about Iran on Saturday.
Then on Sunday morning, April 19th, Trump said that without a deal, the whole country is going to get blown up.
We've heard that before as well.
Then Sunday morning, Trump says if Iran doesn't take a deal, the U.S. will knock out every single power plant and bridge.
And he says, no more than Mr. Nice Guy.
You know, we knew that when he got elected president.
There was no more Mr. Nice Guy from anybody there.
Monday morning, April 20th, Trump says if the ceasefire expires and a lot of bombs are going to start going off.
So, again, you know, I really am getting tired of reporting every phony statement that this insane clown puts out there.
None of it is true.
It's just ridiculous.
The entire world is watching an insane U.S. president destroy the global financial economy.
That's the headline from Brian Shahavi at Health Impact News.
He's absolutely right.
He just jumps from one insane thing to the next.
We had the Israelis have now put a lot of people questioning.
Well, if you know and you verified that this is actually something that was done by an Israeli soldier, it's not AI, it's not something that's made up, it's not from some different time or something.
You know, this is actually done.
Why are these people being punished?
Well, they came out and said, Yeah, we've caught two guys.
We've got the guy who did it, the guy who took the picture.
They posted it up, and there were another six guys that were there.
So there's eight of them.
And we're going to give them 30 days in jail for this.
And people are saying, well, oh, and they also replaced the Jesus statue that is there.
And a lot of people are saying, well, when are you going to replace all the churches that you bombed?
When are you going to replace all the homes that you bombed?
Because you've been targeting residential areas, you've been destroying church buildings.
And when you look at it, the absolute hatred that the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, have for Christians, for Christianity, is endemic in Israel.
When we talk about racism and hatred, this is not simply hate speech.
This is actually.
Hate and violence that are directed to Christians from Israel, just like the Muslims do.
And yet, even more so, you have in other Muslim countries before the U.S. goes in and before Israel goes in, you have for thousands of years in Iraq and Syria and in Lebanon, you have Christian communities that are there, even though they're under Islamic rule.
They still have, are allowed to participate and to exist.
Not when America gets in there, the people that they put in power, when the Israelis get in, they want to kill everybody that's there.
And so, Part of the fallout that has come from this continued war from Donald Trump is a new restored nuclear arms race.
Now, everybody realizes that, hey, if I don't want to get attacked by these thugs in America, or if you're in the Middle East, by Israel, if I don't want to get preemptively attacked by this gang of criminals and pirates, I need to have some way to protect myself.
And the nuclear weapons are a political weapon, really, as many people pointed out.
Not so much that people would use it because of mutually assured destruction, but it is at least a deterrent against that kind of aggression.
It's the only credible deterrent that anybody's got.
So.
The reality is that if Trump says that the purpose of this was to stop nuclear proliferation, it's done just the opposite.
You got people who are part of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that are getting out of it.
And of course, Israel was never a part of that.
But some of the people who were are pulling out now.
Many other countries are saying, hey, we need to have nuclear weapons.
It's the only way that we can defend ourselves against the United States.
So the world is at risk of a fresh nuclear arms race, said the head of the UN's atomic agency.
And are we ready to have the audio now?
Well, I'm not going to go any further.
I'm going to cut right to Gerald.
Sorry, Gerald.
We had some audio problems.
I'm not sure what happened, but I understand they're fixed now.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, could you hear me?
Yeah, I got you.
Yeah, we're good.
We're good.
Yeah.
Thank you for joining us.
Again, Gerald Slenty, trendsjournal.com.

And you can save 10% off with the code NICT.
Thank you for joining us, Gerald.
Always great to have you on.
Thank you.
Yeah, the 10% off is the grand total of about $2.50 a week.
Wow.
And it's about 200 pages.
And we're giving people what they're not getting in any other magazine in the world.
That's right.
And I'm not making that up.
Go to YouTube, look at the comments of the people that subscribe.
It's a great resource and it's a really nicely produced online magazine as well.
Really.
And you can listen to it as well if you don't want.
You could.
Print out the PDF, etc.
You know, I was listening to before we had him cut off, and every day it's another lie coming out of Trump's mouth.
Isn't it amazing?
In front of everybody's eyes.
Yeah.
That he gets away with it.
What, you know, Heil Hitler.
It is, yeah.
And if you're the guy that's in the crowd, we've all seen that picture of the circle around him.
He's standing there.
He's the only one that doesn't have his arm up in the air to Hitler, right?
They eventually got to him as well.
That's kind of what it's been in the media space, hasn't it?
And again, you know, it's, you know, I went to our economic update that went out yesterday.
We go fake or real, lies or truth.
And we go on, go to yesterday's edition of CNBC and read the article.
This is Monday we're talking about.
Oil falls as investors assess messaging on Iran peace talks ahead of ceasefire deadline.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Trump said in an interview on Monday, you ready?
That bombs will start exploding inside Iran if Tehran refuses to agree to the U.S. terms to permanently end the war.
Asked by a reporter from PBS News about what can be expected if no deal is reached, Trump said, this is his quote, then lots of bombs start going off.
Yeah, he's got it all worked out, hasn't he?
Yeah.
That was Monday.
Yeah.
And then.
We go on to say this is on Tuesday.
This is what CNBC headline published at 8 40 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Trump tells CNBC he expects the U.S. to make a great deal with Iran.
Yeah, it's just all bullshit.
Israel's a promise of the talks.
That's what we wrote.
The U.S. dollar edged higher and gold prices sunk lower.
It's just amazing how he's manipulating markets, isn't it, with all these lies?
How long is he going to get away with this?
I mean, it's kind of like he's telling everybody what they want to hear.
And then he and people inside his administration are making big bucks off of this, betting on PolyMarket and other places like that.
Then he comes out and completely contradicts himself and it goes in the other direction.
I mean, you talk about in your face corruption in addition to the lies.
It's just amazing.
Right in front of everybody's head.
How about that guy, Chris Wright, in the company that he's in, that little clown boy?
That's our.
Was it Secretary of Energy?
Hey, we've got naval ships that are going to bring the oil tankers through the streets of Homus, all right?
And boom, down goes oil prices.
And then the company that he runs, there's an article in last week's Trends Journal, don't pay a penny of taxes.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're just manipulating the markets.
And it's amazing to me.
That's why I said, I can't even, Gerald, I can't even really report this stuff because none of it is real.
And he keeps telling the same lies over and over again.
And so now the last one I've seen is that he's now saying, well, we've got an indefinite ceasefire.
What does that mean?
Is that really real?
Again, we don't want to tell anybody what we're doing.
We don't have a discussion.
We don't have a vote, a declaration of war.
Lindsey Graham says we've got to have a vote if we're going to have peace.
We've got to be careful about that peace.
That's really dangerous.
Hey, this is your article in this week's Trends Journal.
Energy Secretary writes Liberty Energy paid no U.S. taxes.
In 2025.
And they made a ton of money.
Oh, yeah.
It's a crime syndicate.
Again, there was an Italian guy by the name of Mussolini.
The merger of state and corporate powers is fascism.
That's right.
That's right.
And so don't call me an anti Italian.
I'm a Napolitano born in the Bronx.
Oh, but if I'm against Israel, I'm an anti Semite.
Hey, I'm against Mussolini.
Why are you anti Italian?
I hate Hitler.
Why are you anti German?
I hate Net Yahoo and the Zionist Crime Syndicate.
Why, you anti Semite?
Yeah.
That's the crap they spew out.
That's right.
Yeah, you're talking about.
We were talking just before you came on about Palantir.
Merger of State and Corporate Power00:13:53
They paid no taxes either.
And yet they get massive amounts of government money and they are setting up techno fascism.
You know, he's making all of his money.
He doesn't pay any taxes.
And yet he's demanding that they bring back the draft.
And he says, well, you shouldn't be able to have any say so.
You shouldn't have a vote unless you have done service, unless you've been drafted and fought in our wars.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, Swan Bull, go over there and fight right now.
Yeah.
All right.
Go over there with your favorite warrior, little piece of crap.
Go over there and fight.
Yep.
Anybody that supports war, put on your costumes, go over there or shut your damn mouth.
Go to Israel, go to Ukraine, or shut your damn mouth.
Well, you know, Gerald, that's one of the things that Alex Karp said.
He said, We can't have a situation where the elite have no skin in the game.
They need to be subject to this kind of stuff as well.
And it's like, Yeah.
When has that happened?
Ever happened.
And of course, he's not doing that right now.
He's young enough that he could go fight.
He could sign up and go fight in the wars just like Eric Trump or Trump's other kids, except for the only one that's too old to go fight is Don Trump Jr.
But all the rest of them could sign up for any of the military services.
That's right.
Anybody that supports a war overseas, get the hell out of there and go fight or shut your little mouth.
That's right.
Yeah, you know, I've told the story before, but they didn't, you know, When you look at World War II, they didn't need a draft.
You had people like my dad and all of my uncles after Pearl Harbor, they signed up.
You know, they didn't need, you know, they believed that they were doing, they were defending the country and they all signed up for the war.
They didn't need to draft them.
And if you've got a justified war or people think that it's justified, maybe you've got a false flag to make them think that.
But if they think that the war is justified, they will sign up.
So maybe what we ought to do is go to a situation where we don't have.
Anything other than a volunteer army where people sign up if they think the war is justified.
How about that?
That would be our referendum that we have on a war.
If you think that the war is justified, you can sign up to go fight for it.
Otherwise, if you don't have any soldiers, you don't have a war.
Look what's going on in Germany now.
They want to put back the draft, yeah.
Yeah, you like World War One, the Germans, and I like World War II better, you know.
Again, it's all a bunch of crap, and again, where the hell are the religions trying to stop this?
As I said, this is serious because they're not going to end this war, Israel's going to keep it going.
One of the demands that Iran has made is that Israel has to stop bombing and stealing land in Lebanon.
They've killed thousands of people.
Over a million people have been thrown out of their homes.
That's right.
That's right.
And so there's not going to be a peace deal.
And I'm concerned they're going to go nuclear.
Yeah.
Israel, they have the Samson option.
They say if they lose, they're going nuclear.
There's no way, there's no way that the United States and Israel are going to be able to defeat Iran unless they go nuclear.
That's right.
That's right.
And, you know, when you look at this situation with the Israeli soldiers who.
Uh, smash up, you know, they they tear down the statue of Jesus on the cross and smash him up, right?
What is significant about that isn't it's not the statue, but it's as many people said, Yeah, well, what about this?
Look at all the residential areas that you bombed to rubble, you're not going to do anything about that.
They go back out and they replace it.
It's a major PR issue for them because a it shows the hatred inside this organization, b if they go in and they bomb a residential area, they can say, Oh, that's just the fog of war, uh, we don't really have any control of that.
Things like that happen.
This was something that was right there, and you could see there wasn't any way they could explain that away, right?
People could see exactly what was happening with that.
And that is really the issue there in Lebanon, and it's what the Israeli government is doing.
I mean, even to the extent that they're now making, just as Trump is talking about his next war with Cuba, they're talking about their next war with perhaps Turkey.
Some people said, well, maybe that's why Trump is saying he's got to get out of NATO so he doesn't have this inherent conflict if Israel and Turkey.
Mix it up with each other.
And of course, they need to for their greater Israel plan.
They want all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates, and part of the Euphrates runs through Turkey.
So it means they're going to have to go to war with Turkey as well.
They're more than willing to do that.
Well, God gave them that land.
It's in a good book, chapter six, section eight.
Don't you know that?
Section eight.
Yeah, the insanity clause for Klinger on MASH.
That's really what it should be.
It should be the section eight section that they're.
Yeah, I mean, it's, and again, what's going on.
How they're rigging the markets.
It's just a joke.
A sick joke, what they're doing.
And again, we're writing about this in your magazine, The Trends Journal.
I said what they said at 8 40 a.m. that Trump says that I expect to be bombing because that would be a better attitude.
And he said that there's going to be a peace deal.
Now, this is CNBC headline yesterday, 2 55 p.m.
Stocks fall as oil jumps.
On fear Iran negotiation breaking down.
CBS notes Donald Trump on Tuesday said he thinks the U.S. is going to end up with a great deal with Iran to end the week long war.
Even as he said, he does not expect to extend the ceasefire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To expire on Wednesday.
That's today.
I'm not going to extend it, all right?
Yeah.
Well, he wanted all the people in Iran to take to the streets for regime change.
When they took to the streets, Gerald, it was to protect the infrastructure, the bridges and the power plants and other things like that.
They used themselves voluntarily as human shields against this aggression from the United States and Israel.
That's when they took to the streets.
Yep.
Trump said, I think they have no choice.
We've taken out their Navy.
We've taken out their Air Force.
We've taken out their leaders.
Then he goes on, it goes on, we go on to say that, you know, then he changes it to say there's going to be a ceasefire.
As we detail by the facts, minute by minute, Trump keeps spewing out.
You know, a lot of crap.
Earlier in the day, with an interview on CNBC, Trump was asked if he would extend the ceasefire deal if one didn't happen tomorrow, meaning today.
He said, I don't want to do that.
That's what he said yesterday.
And then what does he do a couple of hours later?
It's insane.
It truly is.
I guess part of this is what does it mean if you've taken out all of their military?
What does it mean to have a ceasefire?
You know, they keep telling everybody they can't, they got nothing to shoot at us anymore.
And then we get a missile barrage of, you know, 100 missiles coming into a particular city or to Lebanon or whatever.
And not Lebanon, but into Tel Aviv.
You know, what does any of that mean?
As soon as these guys make this kind of announcement with all this hubris, they're immediately shown to be liars.
I know.
Well, that's, you know, we go to all the media, like, for example, we go to Subscribe to Hadets, the Israeli newspaper.
We pay to go there.
We don't have to pay to go to Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel.
Why not?
We go there.
We go to Tehran Times.
We go to Press TV.
We go to IRNA, ISNA.
We go to Tasman.
We go to the Iranian sites.
We go to Arabs.
We go to Al Jazeera, Arab News, et cetera.
This is what Press TV reported yesterday.
Iran armed forces don't let, you ready?
Quote, lying, delusional Trump.
Skew battlefield realities.
They call him a lying, delusional Trump.
Well, they nailed it.
That's exactly what he is.
Then they go on to say about the ceasefire after he said he wasn't going to do one.
There are reports that an Iranian official said that, quote, extending the ceasefire has no meaning.
And Trump's ceasefire extension is an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack.
That's right.
Yeah.
Or to assassinate the people who are doing the negotiation for the peace deal.
That's one of the reasons that they said if there's going to be any more negotiations, the Iranians said we're going to have to do it in Russia or China because we don't trust you not to kill the negotiators.
That's how bad it's become.
Yep.
So, what we're saying is that this war is going to keep going.
Israel will not retreat from Lebanon.
You know, I had dinner with Dennis Kucinich and his wife two weeks ago.
And Dennis was, he was, of course, you know, congressman from Ohio and ran for president as a peace candidate.
He said he went to Beirut a number of times.
He said, with their bombing over there, our upper middle class.
Cities.
He said, these are very beautiful places that they're killing all these people and bombing it to ruin.
Because they want the land.
They want the land.
That's their project for doing this.
I've seen this game before, Gerald.
I remember in Tampa, we had some people that my dad grew up in Tampa, so he had some real estate.
He wound up reselling it, rented it for a while, then he resold it.
And it had run down these various places by the time I was there.
But They had a mayor, Sandy Friedman was her name.
They used to call her Sandlot Friedman.
What they would do is they would come in and they would condemn a property for specious things.
Oh, you haven't mowed your lawn, so we're going to start hitting you with a massive fine per day.
And the people couldn't afford it.
Or I'm going to say that you got to repaint your house.
And they couldn't afford to repaint their house or something.
So they'd start hitting them with fines that were $100 a day or something like that.
They would get several thousand dollar fines and then they'd come in and condemn it, knock it down, and then turn it over to the big real estate guys, right?
That's why they called her Sandlot Friedman.
That's essentially what What Israel is doing, it's a real estate game.
You go in, you condemn the property and under some absurd basis.
And then what you do is you knock it down and destroy it so that you can rebuild it better with your people.
It's that same game over and over again.
Just destroy everything.
And that's what they did to Gaza.
Yeah.
I mean, you look at the pictures of what that place looked like before they did this.
That's right.
And no outrage.
Yeah.
No outrage.
But, you know, Trump is positioning himself to be one of the people that's going to build it back.
And so, you know, he's going to have the.
The luxury buildings that are going to be in there.
And it's a great location for them, you know, close to the sea or whatever.
And so they're going to make a lot of money off of this.
It's just ruthless.
It's ruthless.
I've played clips of some ultra Orthodox rabbis and they say, you know, this is the Torah is against what Israel is doing, they said, because you're not supposed to steal and kill in order to do it.
So it's really just basic morality and it's basic grifting economics.
It's the kind of thing that real estate people have always done at the local level.
Now they're doing it internationally.
It's so sad.
It's heartbreaking.
Yeah, it is.
You know, I'll tell you, it's on a funnier note.
You talked about Tampa.
Remember Red Fox?
Mm hmm.
Oh, yeah.
The great comedian.
My brother, I was the youngest.
He had red, I still have the records, 78 red records of Red Fox doing before he was even on television.
And one of his lines, and I'm a little kid, I'm like 12 years old, I'll never forget this Red Fox is brought to court.
I don't know exactly how it went, but this is about basically it.
He went to court because the woman that he was with.
Was taking her to court because he didn't live up to what he was promised to give her, and she gave him a lot.
So the judge says, You know, that you promised to do that, she did certain things for you, that you were going to take her to Florida.
And he said, Your Honor, he said, I never said I was going to take her to Florida.
I said I was going to tamper with her.
Did he promise that he would Kasemi her?
Yeah, I was going to tamper with her.
So when you mentioned Tampa, Florida, I remember that as a kid.
I just always think that Kissimmee was one of the funniest names that I ever heard.
That was in Florida.
And one of the stories we had was I had a cousin when he was very young.
The parents said, We're going to go to Miami.
He goes, I don't want to go to Urami.
I want to go here.
So they have some unusual names down there.
But yeah, Red Fox, the guy that was in Sanford Sons, right?
Gold Reflects Dollar Volatility00:05:44
Oh, yeah.
He was great.
Had a long comedy career before that as well.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have.
I have the 78 records, Red Fox.
So, you know, going back to what's going on now, you know, gold prices are going down.
It was reported that Russia sold 22 tons of gold, Turkey has sold 20 billion dollars worth of gold.
Governments are going broke because of this war, they're going deep in debt, they need to sell out.
And people forget, and again, we only put the details in your trends journal.
The equity markets were going down before this Iran war began.
The NASDAQ was in correction territory, it was down over 10% in March.
Because of AI taking over software companies, these hedge funds, the people wanted their money out of private equity groups.
They couldn't give it back to all of them.
Stocks are going way, way down.
The dot com bust is going to happen.
China's leading the world in it.
And they're artificially propping up the equity markets.
Going back to gold.
Yes, gold prices are going down because, again, people are covering their losses when they bet on gold.
They're losing it in the markets.
They're covering their losses with it.
Yeah.
And again, They got good profits in gold.
And, you know, like you point out, they bought stocks on margin or something like that.
Or maybe you are a Middle Eastern country and you're seeing your industry being blown up right now.
You know, where are we going to be able to get money?
So, of course, they're going to liquidate some gold.
That's right.
This is what's going on Mexico selling it, a number of countries.
We list them in the Trends Journal.
This is temporary.
The worse things get, the higher gold prices are going to go.
That's the history of gold.
Yeah, they stay for everybody to look at it.
The facts are all there.
Yes, you go back to when before things happen, gold prices go down, then they skyrocket like they did in 2008, on and on and on.
And so they're going down now because they're bailing out, but it's the number one safe haven asset.
Yes, and we are in the worst times of our lifetime as I see it.
I mean, I've been at this for 46 years.
Well, you've got the American Central Bank has already started printing money again, right.
All right, started back with quantitative easing.
So, regardless of what happens with interest rates, and they may not do that because, you know, people are watching that.
So, people aren't watching the quantitative easing and the printing of money.
So, it's very easy for them to do those types of things that are out of view.
And those are very inflationary.
But you talk about interest rates.
What's the interest rate now?
What, about 35375, right?
What was it when gold was spiking in the late 1970s?
10, 12%.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I always think about our first house that we got.
We got a 13% fixed interest rate because we were young and stupid.
Well, like my father used to say, youth is wasted on the young.
And then he's talking about you, he's talking about you.
Anyway.
So what we're looking at with interest rates, they're still very low.
And with this guy, Marsh Gorsh, coming in, that's worth about $226 million.
That's going to be the new Fed head.
They're going to lower interest rates, and although keep them at the same rate, which is still very low.
Yeah.
Well, he's coming in, he's just going to be makeup on the pig.
It's kind of interesting.
His wife is part of the Estee Lauder makeup fortune.
So this guy is the makeup on the pig, the lipstick on the pig of the Federal Reserve.
Perfectly put.
Perfectly put.
So anyway, that's where we see it going.
And we're very bearish on the markets.
There's no relationship, again, only by the data.
There's no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street.
Again, according to the data, you could Google it up Vanguard, State Street, and BlackRock own over 25% of the SP 500.
And when you look at the value of the stocks that they own in the SP 500, it's 88% of the value.
Wow.
That's three companies.
That's right.
1% of Americans own 54% of the equity markets.
You put the 10% in, it's 93%, which means 90% of the people have 70% of the markets, had nothing.
So there's no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street.
And there's no relationship to reality either.
When you look at the way the markets are moved by the latest pronouncement from this liar in the White House, it's like what a bunch of sheep they are.
It's whatever they want to believe, and they're running over here and then running over there.
It's like squirrels.
They all run over to the other side.
It's amazing.
I know.
You know, how can you have any confidence investing in a market that is that irrational and that volatile?
It's insane.
Absolutely insane.
And even when you see gold moving as quickly as it is, it's like everything is getting so volatile.
It's truly amazing because gold is there, it's kind of a stable thing, but the price of gold is really reflecting the volatility of the American dollar.
Exactly.
And the death of the dollar is on the doorstep.
Death of the Petrodollar00:08:50
It's going to happen.
And there was an article that came out in Fortune magazine about three weeks ago, two, three weeks ago, that put the real debt level about $143 trillion, not $38 trillion, when you put in Social Security and other government debt.
And so, and then they got to pay the interest rates.
The higher they are, the more you have to pay on the debt level.
No, this is serious.
The death of the dollar is going to happen.
And again, this war.
Has destroyed the global economy.
Yes, it's amazing.
Isn't it amazing how, you know, we always talk about, well, this guy's got his finger on the button.
You know, he could start a nuclear war and a Holocaust for the entire world.
But this guy has done it to the economy.
I mean, he started with an economic war with all these tariffs.
And the way he was doing it was simply to attack other countries.
And he even said that I can use my tariffs to destroy that country.
And I will.
If you say something I don't like, you know, I'm going to raise your tariffs to 100%, just like that.
And he started attacking Canada of all places.
I mean, it was absolutely insane.
This guy was just, he's like a madman with a nuclear weapon.
And his nuclear weapon is the economy, not just the nuclear bombs that he's got.
Again, you look at the lies that he says over and over again.
Yeah, just some of the things.
This is March 2nd.
The war starts on February 28th, right?
Mm hmm.
Trump says war against Iran moving, quote, substantially ahead of schedule.
Two days after it started.
You ready?
Yeah.
Keep going.
This is.
Well, who are we to say that it's not ahead of schedule?
Because he never put a schedule out, right?
Oh, yes, he did.
No, he did.
Oh, he did.
It was going to end in four and five weeks.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Roughly, yeah.
Oh, here it is.
Here's the quote.
Here.
This is the quote on March 2nd.
We projected four or five weeks.
We'll do it.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
And what'd you say?
It's two months now, right?
Yeah, yeah.
All right, here, this is March 3rd.
The Air Defense, Air Force, Navy leadership is gone.
They want to talk.
I said, too late.
That was March 2nd.
Are you ready?
There will be no deal with Iran except, quote, unconditional surrender.
That was March 6th.
You ready?
If Iran doesn't do anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they've been hit so far.
Oh, that was March 9th.
Oh, the Straits of Hormuz are still closed, aren't they?
That's right.
Yeah.
No, it's not right.
That's, you're not, that's, no, the president said, how dare you say that?
How dare you say that?
The president said, if Iran does anything to stop this flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States 20 times harder than they've been hit so far.
So, how dare you say that?
You're disrespectful to the president.
You better, I can't do this show with you anymore.
Well, you know, Mark Levin is bragging about the fact that.
It was his idea for Trump to blockade the area after it had been closed down by Iran.
And it's like, you can't fire me, I quit, type of thing.
It's ridiculous.
And of course, even after they had Iran opened it up because they continued their blockade, Iran said, okay, that's it.
We're going to shut it back down again.
And everybody is looking at this.
As I said with one of these headlines, the whole world is watching just like we are.
It's like, what do we do about this?
How do we get this guy out of office?
Everybody is asking that globally.
You know, what do we do to get this away from?
That's one of the things that is really going to accelerate the demise of the petrodollar.
You know, what can they do about this kind of stuff?
Well, everybody has to look at this and say, well, the petrodollar has been the source of economic strength for the United States government.
And that economic strength has allowed them to have this kind of power over us.
We have to destroy America's economy.
And I think there's going to be a concerted effort to do that.
I read a ridiculous.
Article from one person said, Is this the death of the petrodollar?
No, it actually is going to strengthen it.
It's like, What are you talking about?
Petrodollar died a couple of years ago when Saudi Arabia started buying or selling oil denominated in Chinese yuan.
And we've talked about that.
You and I have talked about it.
I've talked about it with Tony Ardabin how now China is the bigger customer.
We're not really a big customer anymore.
And so it is effectively destroyed.
But the reputation of the United States as providing some kind of a Pax Americana.
And saying we're going to be a stabilizing force in the area.
We're going to create an environment of peace and prosperity that people can freely trade with these products.
That has been just turned into absolute mockery.
Nobody can trust the United States as a force of stability, it's become a force of instability.
So I think that is one of the, you know, we talk about the different things that are going to be an economic hardship for those of us who live here in America.
Part of it is certainly the demise of the petrodollar and this fiat currency that we've got, the debt.
That we have and all the rest of this stuff.
But we are building up this desire from other countries.
We've got to get the United States under control.
If they can put somebody like Donald Trump in office and keep him in there, this is a country that can't be allowed to have that kind of power.
You see, again, you're being disrespectful to Trump.
Trump said on October 20th, 2024, I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.
Yeah, that's right.
And he obsessed over the Nobel Peace Prize.
What I'm forgetting that Trump said is that he's going to be, quote, the most anti war president in history.
So what you're saying, you know, it's not.
Trump said his New Year's resolution this year was peace on earth.
So, how could you keep saying this?
Somebody just sent me, Gerald, somebody just sent me like a QAnon type of thing.
And they were talking about how all of this, look at this, everything that Trump has done is just masterful, right?
And it's all according to plan.
He's checkmating these people and all the rest of it.
They're still putting that kind of stuff out.
I mean, it sounded just like Steve Pachinik as they were kicking off this stop the steal nonsense back in 2020.
I mean, they're still doing this and people are still falling for it.
It truly is amazing.
But, you know, we can look at this and there's really not too many plays for us economically, right?
I mean, you know, gold is about it, right?
What else, you know, what else?
No, that's about it.
Yeah.
That's about it the way I see it.
There's going to be a good buy at real estate at some point, not yet.
But so real estate keeps going up, you know, but not for now.
No, this is, again, this is a global crisis.
All the details are in your Trends Journal.
And again, even the IMF, World Bank, one after another is coming out saying how bad it is.
Yeah.
And, And this is serious times.
If we don't have peace on earth, it's going to be hell on earth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, just look at it, it's going to affect food.
Everything is going to be affected by this.
And even if they were to stop right now, it's going to take a very long time for them to get production back up.
You got it.
Let alone to unwind this kinked up supply chain that we've got there.
So, yeah, it is.
And yet, as the energy secretary that you mentioned earlier in the program, Trump lost it on this guy because the guy said, well, we're not going to see.
Gas prices coming down until well into 2027 at the earliest.
Trump said, No, it's not.
It's going to come down right away as soon as we get out of there.
And it's like, man, you know, he can move the markets because markets are very volatile and they're very jumpy and they are extremely optimistic, overly optimistic.
But the reality is something that is completely different.
The kind of stuff that you see at the pump is something that is totally different.
Well, it was, we had a short period of time today because we had some technical issues, but it's always great talking to you, Gerald.

Truly amazing source of information, worth every penny, even as they're taking the pennies away from us.
Thank you, Gerald.
Have a good day.
And thank you, audience.
Thank you for joining us.
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.
