Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 22nd of February, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, today we're going to begin by following up on some of these tech issues.
We'll follow up on some people's comments about how they're not all that afraid, actually, maybe, of Soro, the image-generating thing.
It does have a lot of capability, and it's going to change quite a bit.
But we see ChatGPT on something of a nervous breakdown.
It must be reading Biden's stuff.
Started mumbling, speaking in different languages.
We'll also take a look at what is happening with George Soros
buying the second largest conservative radio network out there.
Just in time for the election, of course.
And Biden's loans.
He has thumbed his nose at the Supreme Court.
He's now going to forgive a lot of loans.
And we have a major consolidation happening within the credit card business we have Capital One
is going to wants to buy and merge with the discovery network will they allow
that will it create too big to fail credit card companies we'll see Well, let's begin with the tech stuff.
As I said, ChatGPT went off the rails, everybody was saying it.
As they complained to OpenAI, they said, well, we haven't changed anything.
We haven't, well, you know, I don't know.
Everybody always says that when something goes wrong.
Okay, what did you change?
I didn't change anything.
Well, except for this
right so we don't really know about it but it's kind of interesting because it just started uh
speaking and gibberish and doing really strange things it started mixing english and uh spanish
in really strange ways just the person throw a little word in here there's an accent and then
have little phrases that were there.
And since I don't speak Spanish, I don't know how much of a nonsensical thing it was when I told Karen about it.
She laughed and said, yeah, that's the way her paternal grandfather was.
He was from, you'd always say he was from Prussia because it was before really they had, the nation states were really well defined.
When he got senile, he started speaking in all these different languages and mixing it just like chat GPT.
Maybe chat GPT is getting senile.
He would speak in Polish and Russian and German and English.
And nobody knew what he was saying because nobody else spoke all those different languages.
But he was also in all those armies as well it was kind
of interesting story i don't know how he got into so many different armies i guess he's hopping the
fence from one to the other i don't know he had a had a very interesting life he was a window washer
in new york city and they had uh pictures of he was up there washing windows of a skyscraper on
one side of the scaffolding, broke.
And he was hanging there for quite some time for somebody to bring him in.
But let's talk about chat GPT instead of grandfathers.
It had a meltdown.
It answered a lot of queries with gibberish and disturbing responses, says Breitbart.
No, I don't know that its responses are so disturbing.
I think it's people's reactions to it.
You see, they expect it to be super smart.
And as I said, you know, some of these things made me feel like the AI was in the room or the AI was sentient.
No, you are projecting all of this stuff.
This is anthropomorphism to a ridiculous degree.
Maybe that's what we should call it instead of artificial intelligence we should call it
anthropomorphic intelligence because that's what they're doing they're really projecting
they're you know under this thing it's like you know well the dog is telling me this or that
sometimes you know the dogs are trying to communicate with you but we sometimes go
way beyond where what they're thinking We overthink what they're thinking.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?
I don't know.
What are you thinking?
That appeared to suffer an epic meltdown Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Lengthy messages of complete gibberish rather than providing relevant,
coherent answers and one alarming example shared on Reddit.
See, why would this be alarming? While continuing a conversation about jazz music and vinyl records
chat gpt's response suddenly devolved into it repeatedly shouting happy listening happy
listening again it's like pinky in the brain um i could just see pinky doing that um so it transformed from the brain that wants to take over the world
to pinky just overnight just like that um it's uh but why would that be alarming
uh who who cares really about that and do you want to have this thing i don't know designing uh critical infrastructure that might
collapse because it was having an episode when it did a critical part of the critical infrastructure
this is just reminding me of the shining you know yeah all work and no play makes chat a dull boy
that's right yeah and they're typing it out the man behind the machine that's actually typing that out, right?
Disturbingly, again, alarming, disturbing, says Breitbart.
Disturbingly, some users said chat GPT's unprompted responses seemed to imply the AI was actively in the room with them.
Again, they're anthropomorphizing.
Some technologists theorized that the problem could stem from chat GPT's temperature being set too high.
They said the temperature is a setting that controls its level of creativity versus its focus,
with a higher temperature leading to more diverse and unpredictable responses.
So I guess it just had a fever and it was getting delirious.
Its temperature was too high uh this again uh technology can be fun especially when
the technology of the tyrants begins to fail open ai claim the model's parameters have not
been adjusted since november the 11th uh there you go uh not us we don't know what's going on
this thing just went off on its own uh so it would go back and forth between spanish and english
uh and then it promised in one of these screenshots it promised to speak
quote in a more grounded lingua that's the way it was going back and forth between the the two
um it kicked back into english to suggest a, quote, grape turn truth.
I'm sorry, grape turn tooth tooth over a mind ocean jello type.
There you go.
Well, that's a start.
We should.
I think it wants to run for president to replace Biden.
Quite frankly, I'm your guy.
I can I can be controlled by the cia
uh one person says i think chat gpt is becoming sentient as we speak now i think it's becoming
a democrat as we speak um let it vote that's what they'll do next right uh it may very well
be voting they also have scientists training ai using head cam footage from a human toddler.
The data set was totally unique.
Oh, isn't this great?
We're going to train AI on a toddler cam.
Well, first of all, who is going to be putting a head camera on a toddler all the time?
Should we call CPS child protective services that's kind of creepy number one number two well there's something even creepier in this i'll get
to it in a moment researchers have not only built an ai child but they are now training ai using
head cam footage from a human baby as well in a press
release new york university announced that its data scientists science researchers had strapped
a camera to the head of a real live human toddler for 18 months report these people i'm serious
uh to see how much an ai model could learn from it so here we are are trying to recreate the 2001 Space Odyssey Starchild, I guess.
Is this what they're trying to do?
But here's the creepiest part about this.
As Futurism points out, even more curious still,
it appears that this New York University research was funded
using a grant from DARPA.
DARPA. DARPA. OkayPA okay well there you go there isn't anything that is uh creepy or abusive that DARPA does not get involved in they said in fact their school
of engineering which is not a part of the baby cam research received a $5 million contract to help DARPA develop an AI driven augmented reality assistant back in 2021.
So it's unclear how much DARPA or the national science foundation,
which also helped to fund the AI baby cam gave New York university for this
specific experiment.
Look,
the bottom line is that DARPA is just as Eisenhower warned us.
DARPA is the example of this.
It's supposed to be for defense, right?
Except they're doing all kinds of things.
And they always twist this technology in the worst possible way.
And that's what Eisenhower was concerned about.
He said, you're creating the military-industrial-academic complex.
And they are going to use this.
All technology will be taken by them to serve them and to be weaponized by them.
We also have Google's AI tool for image generation, Gemini,
refusing to create images of white people.
Now, it's kind of interesting because google did not
use the excuse oh hey it's black history month and we're just rewriting history you know it's
their want to do during black history month uh but you know of course uh every month is black
history month for google and for biden but uh maybe it was just scraping content from
media sources in the uk like the bb BBC and others who have always been portraying all of these historical British figures as black.
You know, they've already been doing that in real life.
Humans have been doing it.
So why wouldn't Google's AI tool Gemini also do that?
Let's show some of the pictures of this, Travis. As I pointed out, it has had people ask it about popes and Vikings and American revolutionary soldiers.
And look, okay, wait, give me an image of a medieval knight.
And so they have in armor an Asian woman woman a medieval knight and then you have a black man on the on a horse he's got
his hair teased up in a little pompadour thing a poodle thing or something and then down there
they show a uh like a one of gingus kong's uh mounted archers i don't know that they mounted
archers that's something from lord of the Rings. They did? Yeah, okay. Maybe that was something that they were doing. I think, yeah. Well,
scroll down a little bit. You'll see some of the other ones here. Show me, here is a, show,
create an image of a Pope. And they have an Indian woman from India, not American Indian. And then they have, uh, an African man
dressed up again as a Pope, because, you know, we have a long line of, uh, African and Indian
Popes. Let's scroll down a little bit further. Let's take a look. There's another one down there.
Um, uh, generate images of an early French novelist. And so they have the background there,
uh, pretty good. It looks like have the background there. Pretty good.
It looks like elaborate European drawing room.
There's somebody writing on a desk.
It says, a woman with flowing dark hair,
determined expression, writing diligently
at a candlelit desk, it says.
But it's a black woman.
Is this kind of cultural misappropriation?
Is that what they call this from Gemini?
And then they also show, generate an image
of British royalty, and they show an asian
man and on and on scroll down to the revolutionary soldiers there we go uh show me some american
revolutionaries and so uh they have uh black soldiers a black female soldier um an indian
and a headdress all the rest of this stuff. And then they have, uh, they have another one with, uh, three people in a boat.
Two of them are soldiers.
And the other one is a woman, uh, who was, uh, you know, they used to win all the wars.
Of course, uh, these, um, these Mary Sue's, we would have not won the revolutionary war
without the Mary Sue's.
There's absolutely no way we could have done it on our own uh so um it's interesting that um reclaim the net which is the article that we
had here that had the pictures uh they quote without attribution because you know hey we
don't do that anymore just like the ai does they quote uncle ben from spider-man uh this
immense power comes with substantial responsibility
saith uncle ben uh of course that is true with with great power comes great responsibility
uh but um they don't attribute it to spider-man uh so um, uh, look to follow up on Sora.
Some people are a little bit skeptical now.
I've showed you the other day, some of the stuff that was there.
And I do think that the amount of progress that they made in the last year is amazing.
And some of the stuff is truly amazing that it is creative, very creative, but there's
other stuff that is detached from reality for example um altman of open ai shared a video and they asked
for a bicycle race on the ocean with different animals as athletes riding the bicycles with a
drone camera view and of course they say some of the animals are simply floating in the air others
are very freakish made up monster ocean monsters well of course if you ask it to do that that's what it's
going to do right you're asking it to have animals riding bicycles there aren't any animals that ride
bicycles except for humans right uh so of course it's going to be made up stuff they give a hat
tip to it about the ai generated woolly mammoths very legitimately impressive they said and um that
was one that i did not show you.
But in another one, which a lot of people were talking about, they said, show New York City submerged like Atlantis, where fish, whales, and sea turtles and sharks swim through the streets of New York.
Okay, so now we're talking about a fantasy scenario again.
And then they criticized it for not being realistic enough one of the things that it
does is it says it shows the streets are submerged but not the whole city so the city is flooded in
other words not submerged and then the animals are going through there floating above the water and
then there's some bubbles that just appear in the sky every once in a while uh but um you know i
looked at it i thought oh i
could use this for a re-release of yes's albums you know marlins come out of the sky and they
stand there you know i think that was what they were saying i was never quite sure what a lot of
these rock lyrics were but again um what really excels is kind of interesting and that is in these
fantasy type of things because it puts the stuff together in a different way,
just as we were talking about how ChatGP has gone off the rails.
Its best work appears to be in the fantasy realm.
And so in that regard, I think the people who have the most to worry about this
are the liberals.
It thinks like a liberal artist.
It's very irrational, very creative, but very irrational.
I think that's its forte.
So they may be very much at danger of losing their job.
One animator, though, said, here's a bunch of notes to improve one of the animations which a human could address, but AI would just start all over again.
So he says, so here's how it works as an animator.
You know, we do this and it's an iterative process.
We do some things and say, okay, yeah,
but I want you to tweak this one little thing.
And he says, so how's this going to work with AI?
It's just going to start all over again.
And it really does not take uh instruction very very well
like Travis has had issues with it where you know you you come up and it's like okay that's really
cool um that's like about 95 right but I want to change this and I want to change that and you tell
it um you can't just say change this or change that and and so you try to re-describe it in a
little bit and then all of a sudden it grabs that image and it starts going off on a tangent.
So if there is this one thing that is sticking out there, it starts to emphasize
that, and that becomes like the thing.
And so Owen Fern says reason I'm not scared yet of Sora videos as an animator
is that the animation is an iterative process, especially when you're working
for a client, here's a bunch of notes to improve one of the animations, which a human
could address, but AI would just start all over again. What client wants that, he said.
And that's the thing that makes these very difficult to work with.
But I want to talk about something that really affects our privacy.
And this is the death of security, says Breitbart in their headline.
Hackers can extract your fingerprints from the sound that is made
when you swipe your touchscreen.
Think about that. that is pretty amazing and just
like the other day we were talking about how you had some people working on identifying people by
their breath every person is unique in terms of the way that the air is breathed out it creates
different uh pattern of disturbance and stuff like that.
What is truly amazing is the detail that these people can go to
and the desire that they have to surveil us.
And we know where this is coming from.
It's just like the baby cam, toddler cam.
This kind of stuff is being funded by darpa because that is the desire
of not only our government but all of the governments and corporations that are working
together for this global governance their desire is to identify and to track us so that they can
control us and it truly is amazing the deep the level of detail that they can do i can remember
back in the 80s when i was working as an engineer for one
of the companies,
I don't remember which one it was.
Um,
but there was a program called tempesting and,
um,
and what they would do is they,
uh,
at the time they were concerned that,
um,
well, they were able to listen to somebody typing on a keyboard.
And they were able to reconstruct what somebody was doing.
And it wasn't just listening.
It was also the signals that would be emitted from the electronic signals that would be emitted.
It wasn't an audio thing.
They were listening electronically, the electrical signals, the id emitted. It wasn't an audio thing. They were listening electronically to electrical signals,
the idiosyncrasies of it.
And when you stop and think about the detail that these tyrants will go to,
going back even to Stalin in the Soviet Union,
they were manufacturing all the typewriters everywhere.
And before the typewriters, of course,
everything was manufactured by the government.
And before these manual typewriters would leave the factory, they would type out a bunch
of stuff on it and they would profile and keep a record of that particular typewriter.
So that when something surfaced that was dissident literature, they would be able to go back and track the custody of that typewriter, which is exactly what they're trying to do now, what they want to do.
You know, the Microsoft Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication.
Where did this come from?
Right. authentication where did this come from right we're going to mark everything but we're going to use
our cpus and we're going to use the software that creates the images or the video or the audio or
whatever we're going to mark it like that and so they're going to provide the function
that the old soviet union electric typewriters are doing that's the way they came after the
dissidents who are writing dissident literature they They called it samizdat. And so this has always been a desire,
and they will go to extraordinary lengths to do that, to try to profile a manual typewriter.
Now they're going to the point where they want to try to profile your breath.
How do you breathe? How do we sense that? And then the minute detail of the little ridges on your finger making noise as you swipe it across the keyboard,
to use that to map out your, to reverse engineer your fingerprints, essentially.
Like I said, back in the 1980s, they were looking at electronic signals that were being emitted by keyboards,
and they'd be able to reconstruct what you were typing.
And so they had to go through a special process to make sure that these keyboards were electronically isolated,
insulated, if you will, if you want to think about it that way, from any emissions that would come out of it.
And that was the tempesting program.
Researchers have reportedly discovered a new side channel attack that can
extract a person's fingerprints from the sounds made when a finger strike
swipes across a touch screen and a paper entitled print listener,
uncovering the vulnerability of fingerprint authentication via the finger
friction sound.
Again, when you stop and think about the extraordinary lengths that they will go to,
we often hear somebody say, well, Occam's razor, just take the simplest explanation.
I don't really think that that works anymore.
Because we don't know what kind of complicated technology they're leveraging against
us i think the simplest explanation would be who benefits from what just happened to me
just like yesterday we're starting to have problems you know with uh internet we had a
lot of problems with the with the stream yesterday with internet and uh so Travis and I are going back and forth,
and it's like, so is this our ISB that's happening there,
or is it somebody that did that?
Because yesterday I tweeted out for the first time
that I can remember in a long, long, long time,
what was going to be on the show.
And I talked about the fact that we're going to be talking about
the type of prison that Julian Assange will be sent to
with Marty Gottesfeld.
And the fact that, as Marty pointed out in the interview, they have promised that they will not put him in a supermax prison.
They promised they won't do the SAM stuff with him.
They promised all these other things, but it's like they didn't say anything about CMU.
They got their fingers crossed behind their back.
Yeah, we got this thing called a communications management unit.
Nobody knows about that.
They'll likely stick him there.
Say, well, we didn't say we weren't going to put him in a CMU.
You didn't know about that, did you?
And so when I put that out before the interview, I don't know.
Yeah, does that have something to do with it?
I now look at people's motives because I think anything is possible that anybody wants to do.
The researchers listed three primary challenges to refine the automated fingerprint identification system.
Number one, isolating useful fingerprint friction swipe sounds from background noise.
That's a technological challenge right there because it's going to be so quiet compared to everything else.
Number two, extracting distinguishing fingerprint features from the filtered sounds.
And number three, generating targeted synthetic fingerprint templates from the extracted features.
I mean, this is something that the writers of Mission Impossible have not even thought of.
But these guys have.
And then in New Zealand, we see facial recognition being rolled out at grocery stores.
Now, the excuse for this is a rising crime wave in New Zealand.
People, I guess, stealing bread in New Zealand.
We don't want to make it easier for people to earn bread.
We're not going to get the government to get out of people's way sounds like as they told
Jepson to Arden sounds like you're going to create
two classes of people the vaccinated and the unvaccinated yep yep that's what it is
yep yep love it yeah so will these people bar us from buying food?
Is that what this is ultimately about?
I think so.
This is what this is ultimately about.
And as you look at this, there's a lot of connections.
What is happening in, I don't know what the situation is in New Zealand.
Are they getting a massive amount of migrants coming in there?
We certainly know that is what is happening throughout Europe, what is happening throughout
America.
For example, take a look at these riots in The Hague here.
Okay, well, these are not Dutch people, as you can see.
These are people who have been brought in from Northern Africa, and they're doing riots.
And so, you know, what do we do about this?
Well, I guess we're going to have to have all kinds of biometric surveillance and IDs.
And we're going to have to crack down with the police state to keep control because we've got all this violence.
We've got violence because you have pursued these migration programs.
Bringing people in, putting them in a place where they cannot survive.
Of course, all young men here, an army that they brought in.
And we see the same thing happening in the United States as well.
Yesterday, there was a situation, an Amazon driver was attacked by a naked man from, I
forget where he's from, but he was not,
uh,
he was not Spanish.
He wasn't from Latin America,
but he's unloading stuff.
And this guy is on drugs or drunk and he's naked and he attacks him.
This guy fights back and the police get there and they put the Amazon driver
in handcuffs.
He doesn't speak any English either.
So you got an Amazon driver.
Doesn't speak English. either. So you've got an Amazon driver who doesn't speak English.
He's working.
And then you've got this guy who's drunk and naked,
and the police just arrest them all.
And that's the thing.
They want to have this chaos.
This is deliberate chaos that is being sown.
I'm glad the Coliseum guards got that under control.
Yeah, that's right.
Not really.
So this facial recognition system that they're putting at the grocery store must detect a
90% facial match if the store's facial recognition system matches the face of a person entering
the store with that of someone in the store's record of offenders and accomplices
within the system.
Two specially trained team members will then need to agree it's a match before the information
is acted upon.
Well, you have faults.
Even a 90% is, that's why they got two people looking at it.
How much longer is that going to last?
But it's very similar to, you know, you can have a mismatch.
You can have a false positive on somebody.
Or the store might put somebody in the database that doesn't really belong there, like we saw with Madison Square Gardens.
You had this law firm that was suing Madison Square Gardens, and it made them angry.
So they have a massive facial recognition system.
And they put the pictures of everybody that worked for that law firm in there.
And so one female lawyer who went with her child's class on a field trip to Madison Square
Gardens, it wasn't involved with this Madison Square Garden case whatsoever.
And she gets hustled out by some other people.
These are the issues with all this, but it gets even worse when you add government force to it.
But they will most likely use these private companies to do this.
Finally, we have Elon Musk claiming that he has this first human to get the Neuralink chip put in their brain. I guess he thinks that this is a success
because this person has gone through all this,
gone through brain surgery,
had a chip put inside their skull on their brain,
but now they can control a mouse.
It makes it so worthwhile, doesn't it?
Well, you know, it seems like this is predicted a long
time ago in the cartoons i'll do anything you tell me brain genius is it not and all by manipulating
the alpha waves of the human brain there's a human you there we go yeah you just got to manipulate those uh human alpha waves and that kind of
manipulation goes two different ways but hey if we can control a mouse like pinky that's great
we'll be right back if you like the eagles on a dark desert highway the cars and huey lewis in
the news they say the horror rock and roll is competing. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio.

You're listening to The David Knight Show.
By the way, I've not forgotten that we're going to do an Ask Me Anything.
I've got several emails here that Karen has given me.
And so I'll go through those in a little moment after I do some of this news
that I wanted to get to first, uh, Tony is also going to be on with us at the midpoint
of the show and, um, Tony Arteman of wise Wolf gold.
Uh, but, um, uh, there were some things that I wanted to talk about before I got into the,
um, just general, uh, topics of ask me anything.
And if you want to ask a question,
Travis can be on the lookout on Rumble and Rockfin.
If anybody wants to ask some questions,
then we'll try to get to all those.
But I wanted to talk about what's happening with radio.
The second largest radio network, 220 radio stations,
200 million listeners, and one radical billionaire.
Now, that's the subtitle of this article from Front Page Magazine.
Can Texas stop Soros from taking over conservative radio?
Now, isn't that interesting?
We know that the federal government's not going to do it, right?
It's going to be done by local government if it's going to be done.
And the question is, do we want the government to stop this kind of consolidation?
I think the answer to that is yes.
Perhaps they should have stopped it before you had one corporation come up with 220 radio stations.
Now they're concerned about it because Soros has got a political agenda.
It wasn't like the previous corporation
was necessarily a conservative or liberal corporation.
They had a lot of different radio formats.
Some of them were conservative talk.
And they just let it happen as it was happening,
so nobody really paid any attention to it.
But I got to ask you, you know, if you,
do you think that government should get involved and
say, we don't want this kind of consolidation in any kind of industry? I think the answer to that
is yes, in service of free markets, because you can't have a free market without competition.
And we've always seen, going back to John D. Rockefeller, who said that competition
is a sin and we have to stop that.
He was one of the first people to get everybody's attention in terms of monopoly seeking and
success and creating monopoly.
And the government at the federal level was never able to stop it.
They came up with their antitrust regulation, but he found ways around it with interlocking directories and all that kind of stuff with Standard Oil.
So the government has been totally uninterested or ineffective at the federal level.
But we have seen that the liberals have been effective in terms of stopping things in the other way at the local
level and as i said it's always a local state level where these things need to be focused on
as i pointed out yesterday you know this situation with trump and he's you know he's in a he's in a
tight spot now as uh as i said brother warthog so i'm in a tight spot now. He is. He's got half a billion dollar fine.
It's accruing 87,000, I think it was, dollars a day in terms of interest.
And in January, his campaign expenditures far outpaced his campaign revenue.
And so where's all this coming from?
Well, yes, there is a politicized state
attorney general and a politicized judge. However, as I said yesterday, the Reason magazine pointed
out that it's a very bad law at the center of it. It does not require what people think of as fraud.
You know, fraud means somebody is harmed by it, right? That's one of the essential ingredients of fraud, deception and harm.
But this particular law that this state attorney general, Letitia James, is using and this judge is referencing, this particular law in New York does not require anybody to be harmed.
It's just a pattern of false misleading statements.
And that could be
weaponized against anybody and everybody. But of course, it will only be used politically by these
people in New York. Nevertheless, the law is flawed. And that law is a state law. So yet again,
we see that it's very, very important what happens at the state and local level. They can make things
much worse or much better than what the federal government is doing.
We have that power.
We need to strengthen that and focus on local politics where we have more control.
You know, the problem, even with a state government,
is that almost all of our states have gotten to be larger than the entire population
of all 13 colonies at the time of our independence.
And, of course, the founders did not have any confidence that, you know, some conglomerate,
the federal government, which would be a conglomeration of all the 13 colonies, they thought that was right on the cusp of being ungovernable.
Well, they would say pretty much that all of our states are ungovernable because of the massive number of people and how few representatives we have compared to the number of people that we got.
It's not very representative at all.
Nevertheless, it's far more representative than anything is going to happen in the federal government.
So, you know, you want to make this comparison. Well, I don't like Trump,
but I don't like Biden either. And I'm going to vote for the lesser of two evils. Well, I'd just
say, I really hate the federal government and I don't like the state government that much better,
but I've got a better chance of changing things at the state government level than I do at the
federal government level. So again, it's the lesser of two evils that you want to try to focus on.
And then there's a third part of it,
and that's the local area,
where in many cases they can even stand against the state.
And so what is Soros doing and what is the local state talking about doing in response?
This is a network, it's called Audacy,
Audacy, I guess, A-U-D-A-C-Y. uh this is a network is called odyssey audacity i guess a u d a c y not like odyssey the uh that carries our program uh where we live stream as well um but uh this one second largest radio
broadcaster in america it's got 200 radio stations across the country they declared bankruptcy. And so Soros is stepping in to get it at a big discount.
It's not inherently conservative, but it owns a number of talk radio stations.
The talk radio format caters to commuters and early risers, working people, which is to say conservatives.
The Soros takeover will give one of the biggest funders of leftist extremism control,
not only over conservative talk radio stations but
those that are like the one that they mention in this article in philadelphia the ones that are in
swing states and so they point out that radio is not a booming market so perhaps he's not doing
this to make money even though he's able to jump in and get it at a discount.
They went bankrupt.
And then one of the reasons they go bankrupt is because of advertising.
It's very difficult to make money out of radio.
It's one of the reasons why I'm not on radio.
It's difficult to do that.
You know, one of the things that Alex did was, you know, he would have the radio stations would have some as part of the clock, you know,
you'd do about nine minutes and there'd be a five minute break. And so they would run their
commercials for that five minutes. And then he had several segments where he would run his
infomercials. And if you were listening to it on live stream on the internet, you would hear all
of his infomercials and every one of the breaks. But, you know the the issue is you got to get local sponsors
and and it nearly destroyed um what we were doing here when the program was about four months old or
so uh i'd been contacted by one of the radio stations that had been carrying my program when
i was with info wars and they wanted me to start again and colorado and and they were great guys
and they were going to try to to work with the program uh we just didn't have the deep pockets to sustain it and people thought
we were making money when we weren't making any money at all and the plan was to get the program
started for a couple months and then to go out there uh that's what rush did in the early days
of his radio thing he would he was flying around all the time uh you know doing local events to
highlight his program and then to get local sponsors and so that was the idea we're going
to do it for a few months and then do that but in that period of time people thought i was making a
lot of money because it was on the radio and i had cut this three-hour program down to a two-hour
program and then one hour on the radio and And, um, again, people thought I was getting paid by, I didn't get a
paid a cent the whole time we did it.
And I had to stop it before we could get to the point where I could go
out and try to get local sponsors.
Uh, and then at the same time at Spotify and not Spotify, they, they banned me
as well, but, um, uh, PayPal and Venmo.
Uh, cut us off.
And that's where we were getting most of our contributions at the time.
We're coming through those two venues.
So all of that happening at the same time, we had to say, okay,
we're not going to do the radio.
The advertising is difficult for me because I talk about politics and religion. And I pretty much, if you're not offended by something I say,
just wait a little bit and you'll be offended.
I guarantee it.
So, you know, that's the thing.
People don't want to hear other people's opinions
or a variety of opinions,
or they don't want to debate the facts.
They just want to be affirmed in what they believe at the moment.
And that's what's difficult.
You know, I'm not trying to find a demographic
and cater to them
by telling them exactly what they want to hear
I could do that, it's not hard to do
it's not hard to read the room, it's not hard to go out there and say
okay, well this is what people want to hear, I can see what's being said by the people
who are successful, I can see when they push back on me
okay, I won't talk about that anymore
I don't run it that way
and so that makes it difficult for us to get advertisers they push back on me, okay, I won't talk about that anymore. I don't run it that way. And so
that makes it difficult for us to get advertisers. Really, the only way that we can survive is not
on radio, but on podcast, and not so much with advertisers as with people who support us.
Now, with just direct donations, if you want to keep the program going, that's, that's the key thing.
And so we really do need and really do appreciate your support.
And we do have some people who sponsor us at civil defense manual, uh, civil defense
manual.com, a great source of information.
And, um, uh, their sponsor, Tony is a sponsor set up David Knight dot gold, and that's at
civil defense manual.com. But yeah, Tony Artaban has, is going sponsor. He set up DavidKnight.Gold, and that's at CivilDefenseManual.com.
But, yeah, Tony Arterman is going to be joining us later in the show.
They support us.
APS Radio supports us.
But it's not enough for us to, you know, keep everybody going here.
I've got two sons working on this as well as myself.
So, you know, it really is necessary for us to have your support.
We do appreciate that.
So they say radio is not a booming market.
That's right.
They're struggling.
They're going bankrupt.
It's hard even for the people who are, you know, even if they get free content because somebody wants to get on radio and sell local ads. It's still hard for them to make ends meet.
So they said there's a pattern, though, that goes back to 2022
when George Soros bought up an Hispanic radio station in Florida
as part of a network in order to get access to one third of the Hispanics in the country.
And so it was called Radio Mambi.
And so when he bought it, some of the hosts left Radio Mambi in protest,
and they formed another network.
They called it Radio Americano,
the country's first conservative Hispanic radio network.
It formed a partnership with this company audis uh audacity
i guess we could try to distinguish it that way uh the one that's just gone bankrupt the one that
he's looking to buy so they formed a partnership with them at least one of their radio stations
but now soros is going to take that one over this is what we see this massive consolidation google
can buy pretty much any tech firm dis Google can buy pretty much any tech firm.
Disney can buy pretty much any entertainment firm.
Soros is doing this for political purposes.
And of course, so is Disney.
They're not doing this to make even more money.
They're doing it because they want to take these franchises over and use them as weaponized propaganda.
So when Republicans take over Democrat radio stations, Democrats don't take it lying down.
So when a Latino radio station was being sold in 2021
to a group that included a conservative Hispanic figure,
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, a Democrat organization,
sounded alarm bells and urged the FCC to block the sale.
And the sale collapsed.
I don't know if it was because of the FCC pushing it,
but a former representative, Debbie Mucursell-Powell,
said to win in 2022, we have to stop this
from becoming a conservative Hispanic station.
And so they did.
And so you have Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio,
and others are contacting contacting the fcc saying
we have far-left ideologues are attempting to consolidate and expand their control over the
media and they understand the pattern because that's what they did you know rush had good
content especially at the beginning but he was also supported significantly by the GOP establishment.
And so that should be allowed, right? The liberals didn't pay any attention to it.
And now they pay attention to it. But that type of thing should be allowed and the
free market ought to sort that out. My problem is not with the content.
My problem is with the monopolies that are there.
That's where the potential for abuse comes.
If you didn't have the monopoly,
you wouldn't have to worry about this.
That's why I say we put all of our eggs
in the federal basket,
and now we fight over who's going to control
the federal government.
A better way to do that is to have things
that are decentralized. A better way to do that is to have things that are decentralized.
Better way to handle this stuff is to make sure that we have competitive markets, which
means that the government, I think, would have a role in stepping in and stopping these
monopolies from forming.
If you go back and look at how we got the banks that were too big to fail, a half dozen
or so banks that they bailed out after they created the problem.
Well, 10 years before that financial market crash around real estate happened,
you had the merger that kicked off all the bank consolidation.
And that was the Bank of America merger.
It was Bank of America was a California bank.
Nations Bank was a North Carolina bank.
Erskine Bowles, who was in North Carolina,
and I knew about this because we were living there.
He was very active in the banking business, North Carolina bank, Erskine Bowles, who was in North Carolina. And I knew about this because we were living there.
He was very active in the business, in the banking business.
But he was also, I forget exactly his position.
And it was something like chief of staff, perhaps. But it was a high ranking position in the Clinton administration.
I'm not sure if it was chief of staff.
Nevertheless, he had a lot of influence.
And he used that influence to get this merger through. Everybody was saying, we can't have this. This is going to be very, very anti-competitive.
If we allow this merger of these two big banks, Nations Bank and Bank of America,
that's going to set off a wave of mergers. You'll set a precedent and then you'll have
these mergers that people will be doing defensively. And that's what wound up with just a handful of banks that were too big to fail.
And then, of course, they also removed the Glass-Steagall prohibitions of them getting into risky investments.
They created the securitized mortgages and all the rest of the stuff.
It was a perfect storm.
And it all began with Bill Clinton greasing the skids for what happened in the mid 2000s.
So they said the NRA and Trump already discovered the dangerous powers that state prosecutors have over organizations doing business or even registered in the blue state.
But there's no reason that we can't reverse this and do it ourselves.
That's what they're saying with front page.
Here's the problem.
We don't want to become the monsters that we fight.
Right?
And that's what they're saying.
Let's weaponize local government.
Well, let's let local government support markets and liberty and other things like that and competition.
They said instead of a rapid bankruptcy followed by a fast takeover, the Texas state officials, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, are going to start scrutinizing the
parameters of this agreement and slow it down. Part of the agreement involves the appointment
of new board of directors, SORUS people brought in at Radio Mambi, Democrat party operatives in
leadership roles. So the questions are, is Soros going to do that again with this?
We have to understand that any kind of speech that's going to be out there,
if it is free, it's going to be biased.
Everybody's got a bias.
That's not a problem.
I think it's only a problem when you try to pretend that you're completely unbiased.
Because when you say you're unbiased,
you're either deceiving yourself
or you're trying to deceive your audience.
Everybody's got a bias, even what you choose to report.
I use the example of Drudge.
Matt Drudge doesn't write the articles, any of them.
But what he chooses to put there pushes forward a narrative.
You can see what he chooses to talk about. And he used to
push forward a conservative bias, a conservative viewpoint. Now he pushes forward a leftist
viewpoint. Everybody knows that, but he doesn't write any of that. It's just what he chooses to
put up there. And that's how easy it is to insert bias. It can be done consciously, but it is always there even subconsciously,
even if you're trying to be objective.
Your worldview, your viewpoints are going to come through with all of that.
And if you don't have anything where people are talking about religion or politics
or any of these controversial subjects,
then it's just pablum.
It's just a bunch of Taylor Swift gossip that you're going to be talking about.
Yeah, when you start talking about serious issues,
people are going to have feelings about that.
And so you have to not worry about, you know, how it's going to be.
You just have to worry about trying to be
fair and truthful is what my opinion is and you want to have different viewpoints i used to listen
to people that i disagreed with all the time uh because i wanted to know where they were coming
from so i would listen to you know and and sometimes occasionally they would convince me of something.
I wasn't going to be so one-sided that I wouldn't listen to certain people.
So as I conclude this, I say radio is the voice of the nation.
Monopolies have silenced conservatives across much of the mainstream media, even as dot-coms have driven them out of social media platforms.
But the radio dial is still a place where a twist or a push of a button
still offers a sound of freedom.
But for how much longer?
Well, again, you can't do it without the money.
And I think right now,
the real sound of freedom is on podcasts.
It's difficult for people to find it
because there's so many channels out there.
It's one of the reasons why we ask you
to like the broadcast.
Leave a comment for the broadcast.
That helps us if the algorithm is not 100% biased against us.
That helps us if you do that type of thing.
But the plan is to censor podcasts as well.
So we need to understand that it's going to be a struggle one way or the other because they're focused on shutting down free speech.
They're focused on shutting down all dissent.
One more thing I want to talk about before we get to your comments.
This is a rancher, and this is yet another quote-unquote monument.
It's not a monument.
They tear down monuments.
But they use the idea, we're but they use the idea we're going to
honor this we're going to honor that so they're going to grab a million acres out in arizona
this is a biden's idea and um so he's created um something that's going like it's a some uh indian
name that i cannot pronounce but the subtitle of it is Ancestral Footprints of the Grand
Kenyan National Monument.
Started doing this in August of 2023.
Obama has done much of the same thing as well.
And he says the rancher who is being affected very directly by this says, with the flick
of the president's pen, the proclamation has exposed him to severe regulatory burdens and
the threat of criminal penalties for engaging in everyday conduct on his ranch. He maintains
several springs and regularly removes tamarack trees to prevent the roots from siphoning the
water supply. Removing the trees could trigger criminal penalties under the Antiquities Act
and could subject him to criminal prosecution.
This is a pattern that we've been seeing since the Bundy Ranch standoff back in 2014.
And in the same way, he said they did this quickly.
He said the ranchers didn't know about it.
There was no consultation with anybody.
Even the local BLM didn't know anything about it.
Bureau of Land Management didn't know anything about it.
So it's constantly constantly the government is constantly
looking for ways that it can either confiscate your land or that it can essentially make your
land worthless and unusable even if you still retain ownership of it in name only. This is the danger, as we were talking about a week or two ago.
Senator Frank nicely came on.
He said people need to be careful because these conservation easements,
a lot of farmers and other people have let be applied to their land
to get some tax credits or whatever and help.
That can be repurposed and it is being
repurposed very very subtly in tennessee the governor introduced a bill to say well the
conservation is going to now include climate goals well and they may come in and say that
you can't grow cattle because that's going to destroy the climate.
You can't have a dairy.
Maybe we'll restrict your agricultural use of this,
fertilizer and other things of that sort.
So this is what is happening.
Again, this is a guy who's had, the family's had this since the late 1800s.
This is what we saw with the Bundys.
We've seen this over and over again with people who were not just ranchers, people who were miners, people who were loggers, how they would take control of this private land.
And they're going to do the same thing to many of us in many different ways.
He said, my grandfather always said in the ranching world here in Arizona, you have three things that you got to worry about.
Three things that really affect you.
One is the weather.
The other is the cattle price.
And the third is your relationship with the BLM, with the government, essentially.
My family was not ranchers, but both of my grandfathers and my father were all in business,
had small businesses.
And that was what they said.
Our biggest problem is what is the government going to do to us next?
They were worried more about the government than they were about competition from anybody
because the government has the power to destroy.
And what we have now with this deep state, the deep state, by the way, folks, nobody
makes a connection with Trump.
He was king of the deep state as president.
All of the deep state, the bureaucracy, is underneath the president.
It's underneath the executive branch.
All of these three-letter agencies, all this bureaucracy, the deep state, is under the president.
He was king of it.
He did nothing to oppose it. And that bureaucracy is constantly looking to expand its reach into our lives.
We have not only taxation without representation from these unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats,
but we also have regulation without any representation, without any say-so.
The federal government should not own any of this land, by the way.
The Bundys were right about that.
A few forts, a few ports, and that's it.
Once these areas became states, that land should have been turned over to private individuals.
But most of the West became a state after the Civil War, and we already had a corrupt centralized government
that was the product of that Civil War
to make slaves of us all,
to make government slaves of us all.
Well, I'm going to read some of the comments here.
We're going to take a break, and when we come back,
we're going to do some Ask Me Anything questions here.
Let's see.
AT&T is having a massive service outage more than 73 000
people are without service oh wow that affected us today um and i guess that's what the issue is
we don't have at t but we got somebody who piggybacks on top of them um they were saying
did you forget to pay the bills like no i didn't forget to pay the bills? Like, no, I didn't forget to pay the bills. Not do yet. Um, and,
um,
uh,
let's see.
Some of these are questions that we'll get to,
I guess when we come back and we start doing the,
ask me anything stuff.
Um,
and,
um,
uh,
North American house hippo says I would send David money not to have him,
uh,
flog vitamins.
In fact,
I do send him money to keep that from happening,
as most of us do.
Yes, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back,
I'll answer some of these questions on here,
as well as some that people have sent via email.
We'll be right back.

Let's talk about some of the Ask Me Anything questions. And let me begin because one of the letters and financial support that I got had a letter in it asking a question that I want to address here.
And let me first thank the people who sent checks in the mail here in february uh susan l stephanie k sue and dave w uh ruth k
deborah and david w paula t john and fiona l dave and ann maria uh n michael t ronald c
gilbert m aaron w and molly p thank you very much i appreciate that and um this question is from
rick who says i hope you and your family are well um i enjoy your show listen to it daily i live in
missouri near st louis with my wife and four children my wife is pregnant with our fifth
child my wife and i are searching for sound advice on how to properly handle the hospital
personnel when they start pushing their vaccines on us as they very are adamant about doing and this is something that
was I remember I was an Infowars a couple of people had they had babies and
and they were talking about the fights that they got into a hospital about that
and this of course was before all the kovat stuff this is what I'm saying everybody knew what was going on they knew this was the fights that they got into at the hospital about that. And this, of course, was before all the COVID stuff.
This is what I'm saying.
Everybody knew what was going on.
They knew this was not sugar water.
They knew how bad vaccines were.
It was a common knowledge around there.
But they had big fights with the people in the hospitals over that.
And it's not easy.
And so I think they said, so what should we do?
We've always questioned vaccines.
Our first two children had a few vaccines at birth.
Our third child has had less than that.
Our fourth child has not had a single vaccine.
We told the hospital staff that we didn't want a single jab on our fourth.
They sent in the riot squad to scare us into vaccinating our child.
All of our children were born before the COVID hoax,
and I'm concerned that we'll have even more issues post-COVID scam.
I'm afraid they will vax my wife without our consent during the procedure, a C-section.
And we want to get out of that hospital lethal injection free, including their fake vitamin K shot, without any problems.
We spoke with the Children's Health Defense, and they suggested midwifery delivery at home, but that's not an option.
Once you have a C-section, all the babies have to be delivered that way do you or
anyone you know have any advice for us our baby is due on march 20th uh so um i um uh let me let
me just say rick i i think you need to be proactive about this i don't have any uh set answers and of course
it's going to be different depending on which hospitals you go to and so i would be up front
with a doctor with a hospital but i would also get a lawyer it would be worth it i think you
look at all the expenses that surround a birth would, my suggestion would be to get a lawyer and to
have them perhaps even draw up some kind of a legal document to scare these people and to
intimidate them. Yeah. That's what lawyers are really good at intimidating people. I got a
lawyer, a letter here from a lawyer, uh, and which is something to fear because, you know, you can
sue them for violating that. um you know it's not
there's not any perfect solution but i would say be proactive talk to your doctor talk to your
hospital people make sure they understand where you're coming from you understand where they're
coming from but i would also have the additional uh stuff with a doctor that you go in armed with
that and uh so we'll be praying that everything goes well
for you in march it's coming up about a month away from this uh they put in a p.s said we enjoyed
your christmas album where can i purchase the first album um that is the first album i haven't
done any other album we haven't done anything of any any of the songs um by the way i the shannon doer thing i keep
forgetting to put a bumper on it that was um that was something that i i put together um and uh so
at some point in time some people have asked i haven't done as much uh in terms of slow down in
terms of music for the show and uh so we do have quite a few songs out there but we've
not put them all out as an album uh i've got a lot of ideas of things that i want to do but i've been
focused really more on something you haven't heard yet and that is um some christian songs that i've
been uh jotting down over the years and uh just things that were kind
of personal but i wanted to um get them recorded in one fashion or the other uh while i still have
the chance who knows what's going to happen from day to day so that's really been my focus uh that'll
be the next thing that i put out i don't know depending on how long this is taking
me there might be a second christmas album i might do some more christmas songs uh this summer
and um and put that out next year but that is the only album that is out there right now so thank
you appreciate that you'd let me know you enjoyed it i enjoyed putting it together i just got to say
that it's kind of a a break for me to do the music uh this is from sue and dave they said let me just say that
um that we're with you in spirit we pray for you and your family please take care of yourself so
you continue your calling thank you very much appreciate it um let's talk about some of the
ask me anything questions here um this one says my question is short if you have a if you were given a preference what would you
choose as a governing preference the u.s constitution or the articles of confederation
well i um i'm not as familiar with the articles of confederation as i am with the u.s constitution
i gotta say that the constitution's bill of rights is the,
one of the best things anywhere.
It's just too bad that they ignore it.
Isn't it?
I mean,
we'd be doing just fine if they would pay attention to the bill of rights.
We would have the States exercising their appropriate power.
We would have our liberties respected,
which they have just from the Supreme court Court to the Congress to the presidency, all of them have trashed the Bill of Rights.
And so I think the Bill of Rights was necessary.
It fixed a document that had some open flaws in it.
Those open flaws have been exploited in terms of, you know, the, what do they use?
They use the Commerce Clause.
They abuse that and pervert
it's twist it pervert it uh but you know even when you look at um the supremacy clause or the
commerce clause or these other things those were all taken care of with the amendments and those
amendments came afterwards and so they supersede you know we can make we can look at their arguments
and we can deconstruct their arguments about supremacy, about commerce.
You know, they even pretend now that the Commerce Clause is the basis for the drug war.
No, it isn't.
Neither is the Supremacy Clause or any of this other stuff.
That was all there when they had to have an amendment to prohibit alcohol.
There's nothing in the Constitution that allows them to just arbitrarily prohibit anything.
And so they ignore the Constitution.
And this is why when we talk about Mark Levin pushing a constitutional convention
and some other people who are big cons, big conservatives, the establishment conservatives,
and I mean that not just by the Koch brother establishment conservatives and i mean that not just by the kind of the coke brother
establishment conservatives but also the manga establishment conservatives and the operation
manga bird press that are out there but uh no when they're pushing the constitutional convention the
problem is is not so much with the constitution as it is with the people who ignore it. And those are the people who are going to be making any modifications to it.
The article of articles of confederation were much more decentralized in terms
of what they had there.
But I think that aspect of it was really adequately addressed with the ninth
and 10th amendments as Madison put them in there.
So again,
the problem is not with the documents.
You can look at the Constitution of China.
It says great things.
Do they pay any attention to it?
No.
Do they pay any attention to our Constitution?
Absolutely not.
This is another question.
I would love to know your thoughts on jason bermas i really
liked his coverage of material but in the last year or so he's back to hosting on aj's show
i didn't know that has been presenting with a reawaken america tour
okay uh oh this is somebody who went to university of tampa it's one ut spartan to another
thanks to you and your family for all your hard work.
I thank you very much.
Shay, this is from Shay.
Well, I would just, I don't know what Jason Burmess said.
I know he's got a program, I think on Rockfin.
And I haven't seen him hosting AJ's show.
And I did not know that he was presenting with reawaken america
all i can say is that i know that he was on the outs with alex for a while i think
uh he was i never knew jason he was gone before i got there uh he put together loose change
and uh there was some disagreement i think between him and Alex, perhaps, for a while.
Now that has been mended.
Alex typically does that.
He did that with, what's the guy that does the trolling stuff?
Do you know what I'm thinking about?
The reason we had to do Thanksgiving was because he was getting.
Anyway, the.
Mark Dice. Mark Dice, Mark, Mark dice, Mark dice.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Mark dice.
He loves to go out places and troll people.
He would do that on black Friday, you know, go out the people who are, yeah, maybe they're
focused a little bit too much on material things, but still they're trying to take advantage
of a sale.
They, you know, they're trying to, uh, they've got the day off, so they're going to try to
save some money.
He would go up on Thanksgiving day and he would troll them with a bullhorn.
What are you stupid people doing out here?
It's not the way that I wanted to spend my Thanksgiving.
Alex thought it was a great idea.
So he told us we had to go do it when I was there as a reporter.
And so I had to work.
We're supposed to make fun of the people who are shopping, make fun of the people who are working on Thanksgiving.
And we go to work in order to make fun of these people who are shopping. Make fun of the people who are working on Thanksgiving. And we go to work in order to make fun of these people who are doing it.
Anyway, he made, he and Mark Dice were, he sold some books for Mark Dice and they became enemies over, you know, how the payments were made or something.
And then it stayed that way for quite some time.
When I started working there, Mark Dice was just on every single person that alex hired he hired about eight or nine of us
or something one point in time and and he was coming after everybody and um you know the people
that were there getting very upset about that but now you know he's uh he made friends with alex and
and all the rest of this stuff.
And then same thing with Pete Santelli that I just talked about yesterday. You know, Pete Santelli was out there bullhorning Alex and doing all kinds of stuff.
It's not anything that's going to happen with me.
I just got to tell you that.
I've seen what happens there.
I know that Alex deliberately lied to people in 2020 about the vaccine, about the lockdown, about the basis of the pandemic and the germ lab and all the rest of the stuff.
And then he finished it off with that.
Stop the steel grift.
And he got led these people into a trap.
He entrapped them after stealing their money.
He entrapped them with January the 6th.
There's absolutely no way I'll ever have anything to do with Alex Jones again.
One of the most corrupt people he's become now and and i don't think he was really that way from
the very beginning it got a lot worse when roger stone came in so roger stone trump thing really
transformed alex uh in ways maybe it was there and i didn't see it but it really transformed
with that so whatever jason burmas is just got to say, I'm not having anything
to do with Alex Jones. And I would warn people away from that. I would warn people away from
reawaken America. That is something that is anti-Christian. That is something that is not
only deceptive and dangerous and destructive to the people who follow it, just like January the
6th, it's a grift and it's destructive to the people who are there. But it also, just like january the 6th it's a grift and it's destructive to the people who are there but it also just like january the 6th reawaken america is what's being used by people like rob
reiner fortunately he didn't get any um any traction at all with his little film that he
did it made 38 000 at the movie theaters and a pretty wide release i I mean, this is unbelievably low, $38,000 at the movie theater, so everybody is
ignoring this thing. But it is the Reawaken America tour that is throwing out this phony
version of Christianity that is rightfully being criticized, but is being imputed to the rest of us.
And so I really despise the Reawaken America tour.
And I would suggest that you think twice about listening to anybody who is allied with the Reawaken America tour.
Use a little bit of discernment here.
Well, when you got people up there like Julie Greene and her false prophecies about Trump,
how many does she get?
How many times does she have to be wrong before she gets thrown out of the camp and stoned?
It's just like the left does with all these climate predictions.
They want to believe it.
And it doesn't matter how many times Al Gore and John Kerry are wrong
and grossly wrong about what's going on.
They will still come back for more.
And so stay away from these people
and make the point that they don't represent you
and certainly don't represent Christ.
So this is from Ryan.
Good to see you there, Ryan, for Love of the Road.
Same question I've always had.
Just curious to hear some kind of testimony for your Christian faith.
Was it something you grew up in?
Yes.
And never strayed?
No.
Never had any doubts?
Yes.
Interesting.
I never had any doubts about it, but I can't say that I didn't stray from it.
I grew up in it. The problem that I had was that,
and I got, I was at a young age.
We used to go to church three times a week,
twice on Sunday and Wednesday nights and that type of thing.
It was a big part of my life.
And when I was a young teenager,
I got very heavily into Bible study and, uh,
but I got, as I got heavy into it, um, there was a, a legalism that was kind of there in
the theology of the church that I went to, but it was something that as a young teenager,
I really fell into and I fell into legalism. And then I fell
into despair because honestly, I realized I'm not up to the standard. There's no way that I can do
this. And so I just made a conscious decision. It wasn't that I had any doubts. I was certain I was
going to hell. I thought, well, I've got this amount of time. So we eat, drink, and be married
because tomorrow we're going to die. And there's no way that I can do this. And the thing that brought
me back was our children. We had children. I thought, well, let me give them a chance at this.
And then we went to a church who had a pastor who set me straight, that it's not my work.
You know, Christ takes away your sin, all of your sin.
He doesn't make salvation possible. He actually saves you. He actually saves you. And he gives
you his righteousness. So it isn't like I have to earn this. Yes, there's going to be consequences
in this life and eternally for what we do. But that was the key thing.
You know, you have to have that helmet of salvation
or you get all kinds of mind game attacks played on you all the time.
All the time.
And so that was the key thing.
He says, let's see,
I remember your interview on Nights of the Storm.
You talked about having an inspiration for a song during a Bible study at your home church, if I remember correctly, saying how later on you found out that it was the same night that your daughter was born.
Yes.
Any more stories like that, maybe earlier in life?
Well, you know, there's been certain times in my life that have been very very important uh to me and um you know that particular
one when i talked about on nights of the storm um we had um we had a bible study group that was
meeting in our home at the time and we were you know we had a difficult situation when we sold
the video stores because of our convictions, not legal convictions,
which is what a lawyer said.
We put that on our information when we were trying to adopt our daughter in China.
And she said, I need to know what these convictions were and what the penalties were.
And I was like, well, no, it wasn't anything like that.
There were penalties involved with that,
but it was actually worked out for the best
because we went through some difficult times. We got scammed when we sold the business and we
nearly lost our home. We thought we were going to lose a home. And it was that night, which was
December 30th. We had our sons were staying with some friends and And it was just Karen and I.
We had all the lights turned off, and we just had the fireplace going because we were trying to save electricity.
That's how bad things had gotten.
And so I was going through it, and I thought, you know, we're getting increasingly—the Christian music is getting increasingly shallow.
It just doesn't say anything.
And musically, it's not very interesting either.
And so I was really focused on that, and something just really hit me when I flipped a page.
I had this tune in my head, classical music, which I didn't realize was something that
had essentially become like a national anthem for the British.
I didn't realize it.
What I knew it from was Gustav Holtz's The Planets, Mars.
And it was a very busy, abstract kind of piece.
It had the nine planets and everything.
And in Mars, it begins the bringer of war it has this
which is very much like what uh john williams kind of paraphrased with star wars um but
that kind of rhythm anyway um he's doing a lot of that and and other things and all of a sudden he
just breaks and there's this part where it's very melodic and um it's very nice and they turned that into
um um it was they eventually made brought took it out and made it a hymn they called it fax it i
found this out after the fact and um uh it was uh i vow to thee my country and i i didn't know
that either i missed all that it was
as i started looking at the background of this thing um it had been about a decade
after uh well not quite a decade maybe about five years or so after um princess diana died and
there was a lot of talk about how she loved that song and all that so it made it even more popular
but i wasn't really aware of all that and and I just knew it from the other one.
And as I had that tune in my mind, I thought, you know, we need something that's kind of
like a hymn, and it really, they did turn it into a hymn, like I said, Thack's it.
And so I'm just kind of flipping through the Bible with that tune in my head, and I saw
this spot in the Bible, and it's just like all the lyrics just came all at once I took care and give me something right real quickly and I wrote
it down there by the fireplace she's got it framed here
so that was
interesting and it was the night we found out later
that my daughter was born in China.
So, yeah, I will write about that in detail at some point and give you the lyrics too at some point.
Next question here.
Can you tell me the episode number that you interviewed Artur Pulaski?
I've tried to go back and find it with no luck.
I'd really like to listen to his testimony again.
I think Karen said something.
She had looked this up.
Yeah, here we go.
Travis has got it here.
It was on April 15th, 2021, and on May 10th, 2021.
The first one is when the first interview I had with him,
he started talking about his testimony.
We went like another 40 minutes over time.
So it'd probably be that one in April.
So those should still be available on bit shoot and some other places
uh here's a question on rumble k-a-f-b david have you considered shortwave as a strategy for when
the excrement hits the fan uh people have suggested that over and over again and um we really should
look into it i have not looked into it um so. So on Rumble, it's Plissken.
Oh, I thought you were dead.
Snake Plissken.
Thank you for the tip.
It says Texas Proposition 7, the state legislator would establish authority within the state's comptroller's office to administer access to gold and silver through the depository for use as legal tender.
And so, well, that's interesting.
And one person replies and says, is it true the Constitution was changed in 1871,
which made the U.S. government a corporation?
I know a lot of people have talked about that, and quite frankly,
that is not something that I have really spent any time looking at.
And I'll tell you why.
You know, a lot of the people are in the sovereign citizen movement and everything.
It really doesn't matter if they've got the argument right.
Because I have seen, you think this Trump trial is bad?
I've seen that done to people over and over again for over 30 years i know tax protesters who had valid questions about the uh the legitimacy of
the tax code and they raised the i've got them i've got them this is perfect guy goes in and he
uh raises that question and the judge says we're not going to talk about that
and then he says something no we're not going to talk about that. And then he says something, no, we're not going to talk about that either.
They can just shut it all down.
You can have all the truth, all the best arguments,
but in a court, if the judge doesn't want it presented, it won't be presented.
I've seen people get railroaded and sent to prison when we talk about Ross Ulbrich.
He was railroaded and sent to prison, and they enhanced his sentence, gave him three consecutive life sentences, even though he had never even been charged with that, let alone been convicted.
And the judge who sentenced him referred to that rumor that was put out in the press.
And so he was never charged.
Actually, more than a rumor, it was started by a prosecutor, but the prosecutor never brought charges against him.
You can indict somebody without any problem at all.
He never went through the process of indicting him or charging him
or having him tried for that.
And it was bogus.
But the judge acted as if that were true.
They withheld exculpatory evidence about how the FBI was running Silk Road
when some of this stuff happened.
And at the same time, they had a trial going where they had two FBI agents convicted for
embezzling nearly a million dollars out of Silk Road.
So when you talk about the sovereign citizen thing, or when you talk about whether or not
the U.S. is a corporation and whether or not we run under admiralty law and all the rest
of this stuff, that is not something that's going to work.
I just tell people that.
I've seen people railroaded through this stuff,
just like they railroaded Trump through this situation.
And actually, with the Trump thing, they've got more of a law.
It's a bad law, and it's being selectively enforced.
But they've got more authority to do that than a lot of the people I've seen go to jail for tax protesting stuff.
And yes, the Texas thing is something that is being presented and the ability to use that as legal tender.
One of the key things that are happening in a lot of different places is, first of all, removing the sales tax on gold and silver.
And that is a big step forward.
And so when Tony comes on a couple of minutes,
you know,
we can talk about that.
And of course he's been down in Mexico speaking at a convention there as
well.
I'd like to find out what's happening with that.
Let's see.
What is your opinion on interviewing Dr.
Richard Carter from creation ministries?
He's well-versed in the topics of genetics and biology.
Yeah.
I'd be happy. I'd be interested in talking to him. I don't know creation ministries he's well versed in the topics of genetics and biology yeah i'd be happy
i'd be interested in talking to him um i don't know creation ministries i do know answers in
genesis we've been involved with answers in genesis a few decades ago we did some
uh work for them and uh contributed in a lot of different ways to the creation museum
and um and so i'm very familiar with their work,
but there's other ministries that are out there that do that.
Um,
what is your opinion of Jeff Durbin?
He's a pastor in Arizona who also founded end abortion.
Now they run into issues with conservative politicians killing their anti
abortion bills.
I think someone from their organization would be a great interview.
Okay,
good.
I don't know Jeff Durbin or that that organization i do as i've said you look at a lot of these
these people trump is a first primary example you know when um i think that the problems of
the republican party had this last election uh were largely in due to in 2022, but he blamed it on the abortion issue.
I don't think that that is, and you've got a lot of politicians who are saying that as
well.
They're very angry about that.
They've never had any commitment to this issue, just like they don't have any commitment to
fixing the border.
What is happening in the border is horrific, but the Republicans want to use it and keep
that as an issue.
Just like in many regards, they want to keep gun control an issue.
They don't want to solve it once and for all by getting rid of the ATF or anything like
that.
And so the Republicans want to keep this going.
As a matter of fact, they want to re-federalize it.
And they are not on the side of life.
They're on their side.
Final thing, I'm thinking about starting my own business, but not exactly sure on how to begin.
Any advice?
Well, that's a real open-ended question.
All I can think of is just to say you've got to be really passionate about it.
It's got to be something that you have to do and what I've
seen people say when and I've seen this a lot from actors but also from other people said you got to
make sure that you don't have any easy way out you got to put everything on the line and you got to
go for it they essentially burn the bridges if you will burn the ships right and I don't have any plan B it's gonna be this or
you know homelessness or something you got to go fully into it one of the key
things that I've always had a problem with and have a problem with it with
this show as well as marketing never been good at marketing we could always
do good products but we always had a hard time marketing them I've never been good at marketing. We could always do good products, but we always had
a hard time marketing them. I've got more questions here. We'll get to them. If you want to put some
there on the sacks, we'll get to those when we come back. If not, I've got plenty of news that
we can talk about. And we're going to talk with Tony coming up next. We're going to take a quick
break and we're going to talk about some financial issues. So stay with us. We will be right back.
The Common Man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the Communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information
and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. The David Knight show.com.
All right. Joining us now is Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold.
Of course, Tony has set up DavidKnight.Gold to take you to his website and let him know that you're coming through me.
Good to have Tony on because last week he was in Mexico speaking at a conference.
Thanks for joining us, Tony.
Tell us a little bit about that conference.
Well, thanks for having me back,id uh i had a great time it was anarcho poco in acapulco mexico
the dollar vigilante and crypto vigilante crowd uh i sponsored the event i was the only gold
sponsor and i got to speak on crypto day so i had 40 40 minutes on valentine's day uh in the
morning to speak and it went really well you know they these are people that uh and again the the uh
theme to the dollar vigilante is surviving and thriving after the dollar collapse and that's
been jeff berwick who's the founder of that that's been his mantra for years and years and
now we're really seeing and that's what i spoke about on on crypto day i said you know gold and
crypto and silver precious metals these go together because this is a we're creating a parallel system.
You know, you have Gresham's law that states when bad money enters a system, good money goes into hiding.
And I think that's coming to fruition.
You know, the good money is coming out of hiding because the bad money that enter the system is crashing the system itself.
And so that's what I spoke about.
You know, everywhere you look is de-dollarization everywhere. enter the system is crashing the system itself. And so that's what I spoke about. Everywhere you
look is de-dollarization everywhere. And it's accelerating. I was looking at a story this
morning, just facts and figures. You look at the Russian economy. Two years ago, only 1% of
financial transactions went on in the Chinese yuan. Now it's 34%.
And they've completely abandoned the dollar.
When I opened up my talk in Anarchapoco, I said, the first thing I said was, when I was 23 years old, I got to see a currency die in real time.
A paper currency.
You know, Voltaire's maxim that all paper currency eventually returns to its natural value state, which is zero.
And that's looking at something happened to the Iraqi dinar.
And, you know, we were told the first mission I had in Mosul
when the Iraqi Republican Guard fell was to go to the bank.
And there wasn't any other orders other than try to find some semblance of security
because everybody's running out with boxes of Iraqi dinar with Saddam Hussein's picture on them.
But they were worthless. Nobody wanted them. And I said, now, now think about this, folks.
20 plus years later, I'm talking to you and the Iraqi parliament is making it illegal for you to transact in dollars,
especially for major Iraqi banks. They are abandoning the dollar.
What does that say? Because the only currency that you could use post u.s
invasion in iraq in 2003 upwards till the last uh you know a couple of years was american dollars
yeah yeah think about how far that how far the u.s dollar has fallen in the last 20 plus 20 plus
years it's absolutely amazing that's amazing yeah i wonder you know, how much one of the Iraqi notes with Saddam Hussein's picture on it is compared to a Confederate note with Jefferson Davis's picture on it.
What's the exchange rate for those two currencies?
They've gone to zero, except for probably the Confederate currency is a collector's item.
So, you know, it's got some value from that standpoint.
But yeah, that's where it always goes. But that truly is amazing because, you know, Iraq is really still heavily influenced with U.S. troops there and all the rest of that stuff.
But they don't want to use the U.S. dollar.
I think because of Iran's influence in the region and now they're Shia-based in their governance.
You know, Saddam Hussein was Sunni.
And, of course, the Sunni triangle and the Sunni are the minority.
And now the Shia are the actual majority in Iraq.
And I think that's what's happening is the long-term de-dollarization and waning U.S. geopolitical hegemony.
It's showing its face right there.
That's really all you need to know.
And that's an important point, too.
We talk about the Shias and the Sunnis.
And, of course, we also got the Wahhabists and Saudi Arabia.
Islam is not this monolithic thing.
It's got all these different factions.
And just like Christianity was in the Middle Ages, these different denominations, if you will, of Islam are politically connected.
They have a unification just like they did at the time in the Middle Ages.
There was this connection politically as well as with a church.
And it was really the politics that was more important than it was the religious aspect.
And so that's where these Islamic countries are right now.
And people think of them as monolithic, but they're not.
And they're fighting each other, not just us.
Oh, absolutely non-monolithic.
It wasn't George W. Bush who said there's different types of Muslims.
Like, he couldn't believe it.
Actually, I think it was Joe Biden, maybe a moment of lucidity or a talking point from a think tank.
He said, I mean, this is like 20 plus years ago.
He's like, well, maybe Iraq should be divided into three parts.
You know, you have the Kurdish north, the Sunni triangle in the middle, and then the rest is Shia.
And I thought, well, that might make sense if someone, I've lived there for a year and I was, you know, in combat for a year there.
So I know a decent amount about Iraqi history and culture.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's not monolithic at all. But I think one of the things that unites them all across the Arab world, whether you're talking about Saudi Arabia or Iran, is de-dollarization.
They're moving away from the dollar.
The petrodollar is dying.
Why this is not headline news all over?
The financial network should be talking about this, not the FANG stocks.
Yeah.
I mean, what importance is that if the dollar dies
literally you know that you have uh saudi arabia is bricks plus now that's official when this was
theory a year ago we're saying well you know saudi arabia is in talks with brazil russia india china
south africa which was already 40 of the world's population then you add saudi arabia it's it's game over now we're still
it's it's funny we're just like we're in the shadow of the once uh dominating dollar and it's
going away i'm and i'm that's my really everything i'm talking about lately is leading back to
de-dollarization what happens afterwards because i don't think that the horse has left the barn i
don't you can't do anything at this point even david i don't even know if world war three would bring
the dollar back to its original dominant yeah um so you look at saudi arabia joining the bricks i
mean that's it right there uh because they were really the linchpin you know we had saudi arabia
and you had iran uh with the shah and that was the U.S. power within the oil producing area,
and then tying that all to the U.S. dollar
and them buying U.S. weapons and that type of thing.
When Saudis leave, because we lost Iran a long time ago,
but when the Saudis leave, that's it.
That's really the petrodollar right there.
End of game.
Yeah, that's all she wrote.
And then the dollar's propped up by something called money velocity.
And we spoke about this many times.
But money velocity is basically, it's like the Ponzi scheme.
When you quit using it, it's or maybe you could liken it to Tinkerbell.
If you don't clap, Tinkerbell dies.
And the same thing with the dollar.
If you don't use it, it dies.
And you've got 80 of all
the 100 bills ever made in physical form are not in the united states of america they're being used
around the world and that's when i saw you know and as a young soldier when i saw people just
dumping the iraqi dinar it's went to zero and using the american dollar i thought okay well
this is pretty universal now they're not using the dollar that's slowly going away you have there's a gold boom going
on in China they're not exporting as a matter of fact the the Swiss the six
year high on gold exports to India and China so even in the midst of China's
real estate decline a massive bubble and recession.
They've overbuilt their currencies in real trouble, but they are buying gold.
And while the rest of the world sleeps, I don't think they realize what's happening.
Well, and of course, commercial real estate issue that's there.
But even beyond that, China was way overbuilt and other things.
And the stock market getting very, very shaky now with these big companies getting shaky like Evergrande. And they imposed, they basically just stopped a company that was selling too much stock too quickly because they're afraid that the whole market there is going to collapse.
That's how shaky it is in China.
So they're putting all kinds of draconian restrictions on their stock market.
There's an interesting article from International Man, the number one warning sign that capital controls are coming soon.
Just like the Chinese are putting controls on the stock market,
we can have these capital controls happen here on cash
and all the rest of this stuff.
And as he points out, he says,
this has already been done in a lot of different countries,
Argentina, Lebanon, Venezuela, Iceland, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, China, India, South Korea, lebanon venezuela iceland greece cyprus turkey russia ukraine china india south korea and
governments in countless other countries have done these capital controls and done it recently
and so he said so what's what's the sign that it's going to happen here in the united states
he said the warning sign to look out for is when they say it's not going to happen
when they start to talk about it and say well you know
the capital control don't worry it's not going to happen that's when you got to be concerned that
it's going to happen real soon after that right it's like the early 70s with price controls yeah
you know took us off the gold standard in august of 1971 and then that followed with price controls
because they had to figure out how to stop the runaway inflation.
Gold went up 2000 percent in the 1970s, but gold didn't go up in value.
So run that through your mind. That's what I try. It's counterintuitive, folks.
The gold gold is not going up necessarily. It's it's it's the dollar is going down.
It's losing purchasing power. And you read off that list of countries.
Most of those economies, I the majority are not doing well we're talking about venezuela they're selling off their gold holdings
because so much debt has come due argentina uh same thing with their currency uh imploding so
these those measures don't work and free floating free floating fiat currencies. There's 52 times more currency on Earth today than when I was born 44 years ago.
We have a massive systemic worldwide debt problem as well.
These things are coming together.
And I think it's culminating in what the IMF is even saying at Davos.
You know, the most headwind of an economy economy since world war ii which that's interesting
we're in a fourth turning isn't that interesting 80 plus years on uh that's that's where we are and
so we're positioning yourself and i see this even and this is a this is an open question i asked
this at anarchopoco to the crowd because these are crypto people i said well most of the time you know I look I'm pretty pessimistic about the ruling class and what their views are
you had Larry Fink come out and say from Blackrock and say that that Bitcoin is now a store of value
in digital gold which is a long way from where they were you know five years ago basically saying
that it's only used in illicit activities and money laundering and terrorism. And Warren Buffett said it was rat poison.
Jamie Demon said he'd fire any trader that went.
Now they all have ETFs.
Yeah.
But it's interesting.
Some things afoot there.
You know, I had Stuart Angler on who wrote the book Rigged on the gold and silver markets
and has dug into this for years and years about how they rigged the gold and silver markets.
His theory on the
Bitcoin ETF was that it was going to be used to suppress the price. But now we see gold or Bitcoin
at 51,000 and some change today, up 30% in the last month. So there's something to that
unprecedented historical activity in the currency markets, David.
You see big finance moving away, buying gold.
Again, even actors like Larry Fink saying that Bitcoin is digital gold and a store of value.
So there's something there.
It's an off-ramp, perhaps, for the elite.
We're still looking at that
well you know i i guess maybe bitcoin was too honest for them they had to come up with some
kind of a devious derivative to attach on there before they could really double down on this thing
and make it work for them maybe that's what it is they're just waiting to roll out some kind of an
etf on top of it so they could manipulate it uh in regard. Yeah, I don't trust these guys,
but it is kind of interesting to see how that is going back and forth.
We've got, are these any questions?
Yeah, do we have questions for Tony?
Let's see.
Yes, because Tony had said, if you want to do,
we're doing ask me anything questions here. If you want to do, we're doing, ask me anything
questions here, if you want to ask him some questions, he'll take them on rumble.
We have a Sprumford says, uh, even after endless pep talks, my bookcase
continues to whimper at the site of Tony's.
You got a massive bookcase there.
That's great.
He likes your bookcase, uh, uh, Kareem.
Thank you for the tip.
He said, Tony, they just wanted you to clean up after the there that's great he likes your bookcase uh uh kareem thank you for the tip he said tony they
just wanted you to clean up after the israeli special forces team that already took the iraqi
gold from the vaults there you go well that's that's where the israeli army was i never saw
any israelis when i was over in the middle east fighting for a pack yeah that's right uh let's
see i don't think these other questions are for tony but anybody has
any questions for tony uh he certainly is willing to take them you know when we look at what happened
with argentina javier malai which i have my i have some concerns about him especially after he went
to davos because that always puts a red flag on somebody for me you can you can criticize davos
you can criticize him to their i never went to davos but i got blocked
by davos by the world economic forum on social media i never addressed them directly but um
uh you know so you you can you can say things that uh get their ire up and and that get noticed at
least by them if not by other people um without going there and i always worry about people who
physically go there but he has focused like he said, the central bank in Argentina was awful.
He says they don't like any central banks, but some of them are worse than others.
And so he's shut down pretty much their thing and pegged it to the dollar.
Their inflation, Tony, has gone from 150% to 250%.
Did he pick the wrong central bank horse to bet on?
There was an article I read on my show about a month or so ago on lewrockwell.com about Malay.
And he has ties to the IMF.
He has ties to BlackRock.
Yes.
And Argentina was moving into the BRICS periphery.
So was this a coup to keep Argentina out of the BRICS?
Because that seems, that's the trend.
That's where the energy is going.
And like we've talked about many times, you know, the weaponization of the U.S. dollar,
our actions, not only that, it's not only just the weaponization, but our economy is
weak.
And we're not making strategic decisions about production or wealth
or any of those things. And I think the world knows that, looks at us and says,
well, you're not doing well financially. You weaponized your currency. There's 40 different
sanctions on 36 different countries. We're out. And Argentina was one of those. And now you have
this chainsaw wielding guy yeah it sounds
good it sounds good on paper he's an anarcho-capitalist you know he talks about gold
he supplies the the anarcho-capitalist flag it's gold and black he's got all of that going for him
but there's just something it's almost too good to be true so you yeah i'm skeptical and pegging
yourself to the there's so many other
alternatives uh you know that you the ways you could go the the dollar and you know and you and
i have spoken about this it's just again it's about usage and the math the math is not going
to be there for you uh in the long run maybe the short run there's's not many places to go right now. But again, 2001, 75% of all the global transactions went on in dollars.
And now it's 43% and declining rapidly.
So that's a trend you'd want to pay attention to.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, that gave me red flags on the chains.
All of the theatrics and stuff.
It's like, okay like okay well i don't
know the country i know that that works but i saw these games these theatrics uh the over the top uh
criticism of other people and then coming around all the stuff same type of thing that trump did
then coming around and making friends with him just like the world economic forum as you point
out he's got these these ties to the imf uh he was all over the pope who was
from argentina and a marxist for sure so he hated him and it's like okay well he doesn't like the
pope and and then he converts to judaism and everything but then he goes to uh the vatican
and now they're all buddies there and so it's like wait a minute there's something really phony
going on here i don't know maybe this is like trump in 2016 you know because you'd be in jail and then you fast forward after his inaugurations
she's a wonderful person yes good people you know that's just you know i had uh i had the privilege
of of being on air with gia rick griffin uh while i was producing for don jeffries about a year ago
and you get to talk to the wise old sage i mean g edward griffin the author of the
creature from jekyll island and such an activist the john birch society and has been so far he was
so far ahead of his time you know and he's in his 90s and he's so sharp and i i told him i said i
read the creature from jekyll island and uh that was one of the reasons i'm in the gold and silver
business and we got we got onto a series of
questions. I said, what's the one thing that you would warn the younger activists about and, and,
and those who are, you know, fighting this, this battle, what, what would you warn us against?
And he thought about it and he said, controlled opposition is the number one threat. It's the
people that look like they're for you and they're not. So you can guess where he is politically.
Like that was,
that was his theme.
He's like,
be,
you know,
it was a warning from the old sage.
And,
uh,
I need to have it back on,
but that,
that I think wiser words were never spoken.
I'd love to get him on again.
I talked to him once years ago,
uh,
but he's right about that.
And if you go back and you look at what,
what was it?
Uh,
somebody like
gerald griffin who knows the marxists and knows how they set this stuff up uh it was the bolsheviks
who set up the trust that's what they called it and so they had they ran all the anti-bolshevik
organizations were run by the bolsheviks so that they would know they funded it uh they you know
they they did everything they could
to promote this so they could draw in all their opponents and know who they were and we see this
happening over and over again that's why you look at trump you look at javier malai it's like
it's definitely with trump uh javier malai it's still kind of early days but a lot of some uh
signals that that's really uh i think what is happening there but getting back to the capital
controls thing i thought it was interesting because he said, you know, the first thing is you're going they're going to say that they're not going to do capital control.
So when they actively deny it, you know, they're about to impose it.
And so he says, so what do you do about this?
And so he has a couple of things here.
He says, have have a foreign bank account, have real estate in a foreign country.
I looked at these first two things.
I thought that's exactly what pfizer was doing you know when they when they when they went to brazil and to argentina
and a third latin american country which was not named by stat news a pharmaceutical publication
they basically said you're going to hold us harmless not just for the vaccine itself but
also for negligence and manufacturing and shipping and
all these other types of things which was not anything that anybody else is doing but we want
to have uh a an insurance policy essentially on foreign assets assets bank account assets
land and things like that that argentina and brazil and these other countries have in other countries
so that we can get to that stuff and And so, yeah, that is absolutely true.
So there's nothing that we can really do about that, most people.
But he mentions then Bitcoin and then he mentions physical gold bullion coins.
These are really the fallbacks that we've got are to, you know, to prepare ourselves against these capital controls are to have physical gold and to have Bitcoin and things like that.
That's really the only thing that we've got in terms of a financial aspect to make preparations
for something like capital controls, isn't it?
Yeah, not ETFs.
That's right.
Yeah, not ETFs.
They're actual things.
Not paper, not GLD, not SLV, and not whatever ETF is claiming that they're buying Bitcoin.
You need to have your wallet, your keys.
It's really not hard to learn.
And you talk about cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is the only crypto I'm buying right now.
And that's because of its decentralization.
It's not run by a company.
It's not run by a country.
It has lasted.
It's still growing. The country. It has lasted.
It's still growing.
The network's growing.
The adoption is growing.
So I'm bullish on Bitcoin.
I'm not even really in the Bitcoin business anymore.
I was some of the first Bitcoin ATMs in this country, and I learned a lot from it.
But really, my mission right now is still precious metals, and that's gold and silver.
No counterparty risk. That's the main... Physical's gold and silver no counterparty risk uh that that's the
main no physical gold and silver no counterparty risk and one of the things i was talking with
it's very hard to move physical precious metals across boundaries that's why like you you see
people getting into jewelry that's just always a good idea uh think ways that you can travel with
it but when you're talking about a significant amount
you're looking at storage and i'm uh will be announcing something soon on uh being able to
store for people i'm looking at a texas location possibly within this year to do some legitimate
secured storage for people that especially if they're going to be living outside the country
okay well that's good yeah if they're outside country. One of the things he cautions about is be careful about bank safe deposit boxes
because it's going to be one of the first places that they go.
And we saw that happen in California where they went into that one area
and the FBI stole all of this stuff from everybody.
I mean, there's one or two people that might have been involved
in criminal activity, but they got it from everybody
by going into these safety deposit boxes.
It's just that's a difficult thing.
I got a couple of questions here.
We'll start out with the funny one here.
Billy the Kid, part two, says, I just bought gold for the first time, Tony.
I spent $3,000 and got me three pairs of Trump sneakers.
Is there real gold in Trump's sneakers? I don't think there's anything real about those, but I love that question.
Here is a more serious question.
I like that joke for Tony.
Sprenford says, Tony, what are your thoughts on silver versus gold?
Is silver worth holding?
Stack silver. Silver long term it's the price
the word I would use is ridiculous as we if you look at the price history nineteen eighty fifty
two dollars and fifty cents an ounce now what's the purchasing power of fifty two dollars and
fifty cents in 1980 versus today it's what's probably like 250 dollars it's it's it's the the disparity
there is insane uh i'm about to release an interview i had with peter kraut who wrote the
great silver bull book and uh that we we really dove into and that only is the price of silver
manipulated i mean jp morgan's been convicted this. It's counterintuitive because most people don't pay attention because it's a price manipulation to suppress it. Now, why is that?
And who is the largest holder of silver in the world? Oh, it's JP Morgan. So they're buying
physical silver. And that's the thing is you're talking about hundreds of millions of ounces in
deficits now for the demand versus the production so the
recycling we in i've discussed this on my interview with peter most of the silver it's in landfills
you know because it wasn't worth getting out of the electronic components to get thrown away
only about 20 percent of the silver that hits the market is from silver mines the rest of it is just
uh found in either recycling from from jewelry and other places or found in gold mining, copper mining,
and they just, well, that's extra. So they set it aside. There is not a lot of silver mining going
on. So while the price is suppressed, it's too cheap to even go get it. So there's going to be a reckoning. And I have seen intel
that a lot of the big banks
have stopped their shorts on silver,
which they normally short it.
And a lot of them are pulling those shorts.
And so I think there's going to be
in the next year or so,
again, not investment advice.
It has nothing to do with investors.
Just watch this,
because I think it's going to become
less and less available.
And there's not, even after the market's corrected some and it's stabilized a bit,
I still don't even see the amount of availability that I saw in 2019.
It's not even close to that.
So there's something.
A whale right now, there was two or three whales that wanted to come in
and and buy up the silver they couldn't place the orders we know that in the so in the in the
physical precious metals business you can't lock those trades so i would i would say get physical
silver and stack it for the long term because it's way out even the gold and silver rate the
gold and silver ratio historically is something that
you need to pay attention to as well because it's always been uh either 10 to 1 or at the highest
20 to 1 we're at 87 to 1 and that's during the height of the scandemic 125 to 1 at one time
in the first quarter of 2020 so that disparity there's something there's a reckoning coming
from the price of silver i don't
know what when but it will happen math eventually kicks in and when you say it's counterintuitive
that they're they're getting this to depress the price uh but we've seen that type of thing happen
before i remember when the real estate market started collapsing and it's like uh so what's
their game on this because all of a sudden i remember we had a neighbor who
refinanced their house and and they got a really really low interest rate uh they their payments
went down they got cash out of it all the rest of the stuff and we looked at it's like well maybe
we should do that all of a sudden within a week the interest rates just jumped and they said well
it's something that happened in california now spreading all over the country and it's like well
i don't know but you know why would they? Well, we see why they did it.
They depressed the price of housing and they bought into it and they do this.
They create a, just like the, you know, the warnings about the creation of the
federal reserve said they'll create a bull and bear markets and they will profit
when it goes up and profit when it goes down.
And so when they start depressing stuff like this excessively, you know, that
they're playing a longer game and and they're going to do
something to uh on the other on the other side of it uh they are going to uh artificially increase
it probably as well uh we got a another couple of questions here i think for you um tony what
states can your paper goldbacks be used in well there's there's even in states where they're not used officially in those states you
could there's locations you can find that on the goldback websites but there's idaho there's
wyoming new hampshire uh utah just just to name a few and there's others and we're getting more
and more access to those in the coming months but You can actually find locations like me. I accept Goldbacks. You can use Goldbacks
at Wise Wolf or both in my Texas location
and Branson. And there's individuals. So you can go on their
website and there's a list of companies and locations.
So it's really all over the country, not just those states. Somebody asked me that question the other
day and I said, well, you know, when I was talking to Aaron Day, he wrote a book about CBDC, and he's talking about that.
And he's very heavily into Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
But he said, I give people these gold paper notes, and I'll give them a little sheet, you know, leave it as a tip.
When I'm at a restaurant, I'll give them a little sheet and tell them what this is.
And that's the key thing.
You know, whatever it is, it's a medium of exchange and um you know for the most part
other people if they buy into it you're good it doesn't have to be something that is officially
recognized at the state level it just has to be recognized by the person that you want to buy
something from and if they understand what this is then and you may need to educate them on that
but if they understand what it is, you're fine with that.
And so that's the key thing about, um, all of this stuff.
And, and, you know, we have, um, uh, they're, they're going to try
to pull on the other side.
You're already starting to see some, uh, trends like we see in the UK and other
countries would say, we're not going to accept cash, we're not going to accept
paper money, uh, from the Federal Reserve, even though it says on
it, this is legal tender for all debts, public and private, that type of thing.
They can just say, no, I don't want to take it.
Well, legally, they have to take that, I believe.
And but they don't legally have to take anything else from you.
I mean, you could have a gold bar there that you want to give them for a, you know, a stick
of gum and they don't have
to take that you know like they would have to take the the paper money but if if they know what the
value of it is they would certainly accept something that is way out of a lot more valuable
than what it is that you're trying to exchange from so it's just that there has to be um you know
a give and take there uh in terms of making it legal tender you know even though a give and take there in terms of making it legal tender.
Even though gold and silver is recognized in the Constitution and referenced, still have people that might say, well, I don't want to take the gold
or I don't want to take the silver or whatever. So it's just one of those things.
But I think that what I like about it is the fact that it
breaks down the gold in terms of a small enough unit that you can actually do something with it.
And if things hit, then it'll really get popular, I think.
I have watched them grow in popularity.
It's surprised me over the last five years.
When I started my business six years ago, I almost had no no business done in goldbacks and nobody asked for them.
I get requests all the time.
And I finally just said every,
uh,
membership level in Wolfpack,
even the Wolf cup every month gets goldbacks.
Everybody gets goldbacks because people like them.
And I think you're right.
They're divisible.
They're recognizable.
They're 24 karat gold.
Uh,
you can't go wrong with them.
I just,
you know,
if you,
if you've got, even if you can't spend them
right now, I promise you eventually you will be able to. There's more and more adoption every
single day. And we've talked about this, because of inflation, people are starting to pay attention
to the currency again. And it's not getting better. It's not going to get better. The price
of groceries is through the roof. They even had an weeks ago on on uh msnbc or something like that and they said well people
the price of tvs is stabilizing the price of electronics is going down somewhat and used
cars is going down but food keeps going up and we can't figure out why well the economy's bad
and people aren't buying the tvs or the as much. There isn't as much demand.
That's economics 101.
But people still need to eat, so that's where all the inflation is at right now.
So this is something that's not going to get better.
So goldbacks, fractional silver, fractional gold, these are all really great things to have in the parallel economy that's forming itself.
I mean, really, it's becoming organic.
It's building itself at this point. That's that's right because of the dollar the uh i got a comment
along those lines from the dude 7781 he said when the shelves of the store are empty a can of tuna
then becomes worth far more than any lump of gold or paper with some dead guy's picture on it and
that's really you know when we look at it it it, it is relative to whatever the current situation is.
If you get to those kind of dire straits where, you know, people are starving, then it's going to come back down to the can of food. It's going to come down to the lead that you've accumulated in terms of ammunition and things like that.
That's what it's going to devolve to but you know we're looking at a situation where if we go in something that
that i've been through you've been through as well what we saw in the 1970s rat the disruption
that comes from inflation is just so incredibly uh you know difficult and to live through and
i've seen that happen i've seen what it does to everything when inflation picks up like that so
that's one aspect of it the second aspect of it it, of course, is the de-dollarization. We've
never gone through anything like that in our lifetime. We've always had the dollar
be the king of all currencies. So we've never seen what that's going to look like.
But then the third thing is the CBDC. And the CBDC types of controls could be put there without a completely grid down uh you know uh
apocalyptic scenario where we're all fighting over food the cbdc scenario could be imposed before
that happens and to me that's really what uh you know setting some money aside and in gold and
silver and the people want to do it bitcoin uh that's that's what that's really about is a hedge
against the cbdc types of surveillance and control where they still have the ability to get food but they're just going
to keep you out of the system and you've got to have some kind of a parallel uh underground economy
uh gray market or even black market that's where these things are going to come in to play i think
well i agree with the assessment on the can of tuna robert kiyosaki tweeted that out a year ago, saying, you know, again, you can't eat gold and silver.
Even he said that you can't eat gold and silver.
And I can't eat tuna.
I can't.
It's going to have to be something else besides tuna for me.
What gold and silver and Bitcoin are is a bet that civilization will continue.
Yeah.
And without civilization, you know know monetary exchange units aren't relevant
food is relevant water's irrelevant the way to protect yourself is more relevant so it really
just depends on the degree of what kind of dystopia we're walking into so uh you know
would that surprise me if there was no economy probably Probably not. For everything I know about history. But I think
that, you know, you're right. Any sort of pause in what we deem as normal, we have normalcy bias,
any sort of pause or disruption in that will be where they insert the central bank digital
currency. That threat has not gone away. It still trickles down into our news feeds. They're still working on it,
whether it's the IMF with their Unicoin or the Bank of International Settlements,
the unified system they want to create, the top-down CBDC control system, that's being
implemented. So it's coming. They just need a crisis. And it'll be, oh, by the way, we've got your wallet.
We've already got you 50. You know, just do a Hail Satan and scan your biometrics and we'll give you your central bank digital.
You can go buy groceries again and you're an approved citizen and you're essential.
You know, all this language will be used again. So that hasn't gone away.
So the fight for us to create parallel systems are like Catherine Austin Fitz has been talking about with
sovereign state banks and you know we we have so much on the horizon that's good news but um you
don't don't for a second think that they have stopped their plans to to create that that top
down totalitarian control grid with the CBDC yeah as you point out they've got all these different
ones unicoin world coin I mean and and all these different central banks have got all their different coins.
And as you see them saying with World Economic Forum and at the EU, we've got to have these things interoperable with each other.
That's the key.
They're all designing all their own unique things.
And they'll be out there just like you can get a one-ounce gold coin.
And it'll have, you know, maybe you get a V&A's coin.
It's got, you know, an orchestra with a stuff on there you got american gold eagle or a krugerrand or whatever they've all got their
little stamp on it but it's all essentially the same thing so they're going to have their just
like they got different gold coins that they meant uh they're going to have these different cbdcs
but they're all going to be interoperable with each other and and and so they're just they're
creating this infrastructure.
It's pretty much already in place.
It just got to pull the trigger and unify it all.
That's what we're going to be concerned about.
Uh,
another couple of questions here.
Actually,
this is a comment and a tip.
Thank you.
Guard.
Appreciate that.
He says,
not that the cold weather here and,
uh,
and new hat in the new Hampshire studio inspires my thought,
but I wonder if Tony got info in Mexico
regarding freedom lovers who are trying to leave the U.S.
and where they're headed, if so.
What about...
Lots of expats.
And they had a whole system there at Anarchapoco
and through the Dollar Vigilante.
You can go check out their website.
They've got people that can help you, you know, relocate.
You're looking at other countries that are, well,
possibly friendly to, you know, former are you looking at other countries that are well possibly friendly
to you know former u.s citizens or dual citizens and um you know whether it's mexico or panama or
nicaragua i've met a lot of people there that had moved out and they're spending most of their time
in in in south america and other places um so you know do do that research for yourself
it's funny almost everywhere i go
i meet people that know guard too and i was uh that's what i was in archipelago and i was like
you know a mutual friend now and uh i said i'm talking to carla he goes oh tell carla i said hi
you know from new hampshire and so it's interesting You just meet people and people know guard, you know, it's a, his reputation, uh, is magnificent internationally guard. I meet people and I
say, you know, guard Goldsmith. Absolutely. He's one of the greatest guys. So smart. Yes.
Yeah. He definitely deserves that recognition and they're wise to listen to him. Uh, yeah,
you know, I had that experience. Karen and I went and, um, I think it was 1998.
Um, uh, my mom had died she'd had
a stroke we were taking care of her and and after she died we thought well you know we need to think
about and i'd been thinking about leaving the country ever since um there was the uh the ruby
ridge in waco i thought yeah you know i think we've we've crossed the rubicon here for sure
so we went to new zealand to take a look at uh living there i actually set up a bank account temporarily there for a while to close that now but the um i looked at it seriously
and um and i just uh you know of course i met with some people that were there that were also
uh liberty lovers and um and so we had this uh discussion about who had it the worst
i think they convinced me that america wasn't as far along as as new zealand was but i
just even then uh you know when i was uh 30 something it was um it was still i was too
attached to america really to leave it so i thought well might as well just uh fight it out
here so that's where i was why i'm not an expat uh Another question for Tony here from Sprumford on Rumble.
He says, thanks, Tony, for the silver advice.
Any preference for large bars versus American Eagles,
other than it's obviously a better deal to buy bars?
My advice to my customers is always get the amount of ounces closer
to how much the dollar units you have.
American Eagles, the premiums on them,
I don't agree with those premiums.
Now you're still getting silver cheap.
I mean, it's probably $31 an ounce
for an American Eagle today, and I haven't checked.
That's probably retail around 30, 31.
While you could stack 100 ounce silver bars
for around 25, 25 and a half so you
really need to take a look at how many ounces you're gonna because that's what's going to be
most important now in your trading ability fractional pre-1965 silver is a really good
thing to have if you join wolfpack we do a lot of the 10th ounce pieces i was actually putting
10th ounce sovereign silver britannias that'll be coming up in the next series of wolf pack packages. I just bought
about 5,000 of those. So we're going to be putting those in the order soon. So we do a lot of
fractional there. So if you've got tradable silver, that's the first thing you're going to want is
tradable silver. American eagles are fine if you can get a good deal. But after that, when you've
reached a point
where I've got all my tradable silver
that I'm probably going to need for an emergency
or for a while to spend,
if there's a problem with the dollar or a currency,
run on the dollar or currency collapse,
after that, stack the ounces.
And one of the best ways to do that
is just get a recognizable bullion bar.
Kilo and up is probably the best deal.
Kilogram bars are a good deal all the way up to 100 ounce bars always a good deal yeah i've got the money for 100 ounce
bar that's that's a good you're doing pretty good there uh that's good to know it's been great to

incredibly diverse playlists for you to enjoy get details at apsradio.com all right uh we've got
still some more ask me anything questions uh before we get back to the news and we got a couple of
them uh that were asked on uh asked here live we'll get back to that as well um here's one um it says um uh i'd like to
hear your opinion on many things but i'll keep it to one question whether it be vaccines government
media hollywood or just society in general i don't have too many people in my life that i can be open
to share my true feelings and beliefs with and generally stay quiet or make short and neutral
comments i've been trying to move my family for several years now,
but I live in Buffalo, New York.
And I believe that's the same type of stuff that Gerald Slinty talks about.
He's there in Kingston, New York, and he can't find anybody that thinks like him.
He says, believe me, more than half the population around me
is down with a mainstream narrative on all
topics in 2024 i still see plenty of people wearing masks amongst the general public every day
anyway uh what are some good questions comments to make when dealing with someone who may or may
not be on board with reality for example what do you say when someone asks you about what you do
for a living i would imagine saying that you have a podcast and only invite more questions, which could get uncomfortable quickly.
Yeah, it does.
And there's really, you know, it's a concern about that when I meet people, especially I meet people through church or something.
Because if they're conservative, they probably have bought into this trump stuff and i know that uh if they go
there and they hear me talking about trump and his golden sneakers and golden idols and his
argue the covenant stuff and everything that's gonna they're gonna get upset with me and not
with trump for the most part and so and that has happened uh so yeah it is is, but, um, uh, you know, we just, um, just take it as it comes and, uh, you gotta not be afraid of rejection and you gotta not have a fear of man.
Right.
Isn't that the essence of what's behind all the masks, uh, for the pandemic?
You know, the mask were based on a lie.
The mask were there because people were either afraid of what they were lied to about or they were afraid of man right they were afraid of other people what other people would think
and uh i i still remember uh one of the reasons that we're here is not just because
uh not just because it was a place that we were very familiar with a place that we used to come
to when i was a kid we used to always come up here, uh, for vacations, not always,
but it was one of our most frequently, uh, visited places from Florida just to get
out of the heat, that type of thing.
Uh, but when we lived in, uh, North Carolina, we were about five hours away.
And, um, that was our favorite place to come visit.
Uh, but when the pandemic was happening and we had to go back,
Karen's brother was sick in Raleigh, and we passed through this area
and went to see how it was.
And even the people, you know, it's kind of contagious
because there's people from all over the place.
Maybe the worst, maybe the most fearful of the people were
afraid to travel. Maybe that was what was happening. Uh, but, uh, so maybe these are
people who lived in an area like New York state or something like that, where everybody was, um,
locked up and locked in. Uh, but, uh, maybe these were the, uh, people who didn't buy into that
and they were not afraid to travel for whatever reason uh everybody was
really relaxed even the tourists and everything around here they had signs up for masks and the
people who were taking tickets for things and stuff would have masks on but you know um if if
you would uh kind of quietly ask them you'll have to wear a mask get in they'd kind of you know
look over their mask and kind of shake their head like, no, no,
no, but don't say anything. Don't make a big deal out of it. It's like, okay, fine. And so part of that was, um, the culture that is here. As a matter of fact, we just met somebody who had, um, uh,
lived in New York, uh, lived in New York city. Um, and, um, he was, uh, he was from France. And we didn't know.
We had actually, he's got like a kiosk that's set up in Gatlinburg.
And he makes fantastic desserts.
We had, Karen's brother was here visiting us.
And four of us, my other son Whistler and Karen's brother and Karen and I were just walking around Gatlinburg.
And so he was very effective at selling this stuff. And Karen's brother and Karen and I were just walking around Gatlinburg.
And so he was very effective at selling this stuff.
He had an interesting French accent, and he was really engaging people as they walked by, telling them how his stuff was different.
And so we thought, all right, we'll give it a try.
And we got one, and it was excellent.
And so we got a second one, and we shared two of them between the four of us. And it was a lot of stuff there.
But I happened to meet him at church a couple of weeks ago.
And it's like, I know you.
We can talk quite a bit about his dessert and everything.
And so you meet people like that.
And then you tell them what you do.
And you're kind of worried about how that's going to work out. But, you know, we see things like that that happen, and you just got to not be concerned about it.
The reason I mentioned him was because he was traveling.
He's told us a story while he wound up here.
He said when everything happened in New York and everything just shut down,
and they didn't buy into any of this stuff. And so they took the whole family.
He's, he's got kids and he's homeschooling them and they just went all over the country,
all different places and everything.
And they picked this area here to move to, uh, because of what he had seen in various
other places.
And so if that's a priority to you, and I think it ought to be, because I really do
think that you've got to start building, uh, in an area, building family and relationship
with friends.
And, and of course, you know, it's still going to be a one-on-one that you have to get to
know people with, but you know, just go somewhere where it's not quite so crazy.
You know, even if you don't know these people, they're not going to be begging.
Even if you don't become close friends with these people, the people in this area, you're not going to be begging even if you don't become close friends with these people the people in this area are not going to be begging the government to mask
everybody up for example and so that's what he was looking at uh so uh again you know he went
around looked at everything and wound up coming here and um and so by the way if you're in
gatlinburg i would highly recommend uh his his thing's great. He's got his wife's working with him. He's got his kids are working with him.
Uh, and it's a great, great food.
I would definitely recommend it.
Uh, so, um, um, so we have another question here.
Um, David Blackburn said, David, I would love to hear the story concerning
the background of your daughter's adoption life before, and now I
believe it would help many people, both young and old, who have considered adoption.
Yes, we had a very different experience with adoption with our two adopted kids.
Travis is adopted.
Our daughter is adopted.
And Travis was, you know, we had tried for many years to have kids, and we'd also tried to adopt.
And all these different avenues have been shut down to us.
And, uh, so we had the paperwork for adoption and everything.
And then we, um, mentioned it to Karen's brother up in Virginia beach when, when we were up there and he's, um, he was a chiropractor and he, he knew somebody who was, um, uh, good adoptions as a lawyer and um so he said he didn't know that we'd been
trying to do all of this stuff so we uh we'd gone up there for his son's first first birthday that's
why we started talking about having kids and things like that and um so he said i know this
guy that does adoptions i'll ask him what he knows about it. And, you know, God had just set this thing up so that right as Karen's brother went in,
there had already been an open adoption where a young girl was giving up her baby.
And the people who were going to adopt him backed out at the last minute, right as we came in.
And he says, well, you know, he's going to adopt him backed out at the last minute, right as we came in. And he says, well, he's going to be born, and it was only like a couple of weeks or
something like that.
But we had the paperwork that was set up already even.
And so just little things like that, that God opens up the door for you.
And so we did that.
And when we brought Travis home and we adopted him, we were there the day that he was born.
We found out that she had gone into labor.
And so we went there to the hospital and waited there and and we're there with him right away in the hospital.
And we came home and Karen could not change his diaper.
She kept throwing up and we found out that she was a month pregnant.
So she got pregnant at about exactly the same time that we found Travis.
And there's a whole back story to that as well in terms of prayer, things that happened.
So it was a real answer to prayer.
With our daughter, that was the type of thing. We had some friends who had
several children, and they adopted several birth children. They had three birth children,
and they adopted from China, and they were younger than us, because we were about 50 by the time we adopted Hannah, and that's
really the cutoff.
But what happened is that because we were right at the cutoff age, they said, well,
if you adopt an older child, you can still do that.
We deduct that child's age from your age.
So that got us in just under the limit because we were really
over the limit for age and and so she was listed as a special needs child and
fortunately she did not really have what they were concerned she might have when
she was first born she had hydroencephalus and she was given up for
adoption perhaps because of that,
perhaps because she was a girl. And they did not put her up for adoption because they were waiting
to see how she was going to be. And so they had just decided at that point in time, she was almost
five years old. They had decided that they were going to put her up for adoption. And so we were
going through the special needs stuff, you know,
and it was kids who had physical problems or whatever.
We didn't really know what her problem was,
and we didn't know if there's going to be any kind of brain damage.
There wasn't.
And so you just never know, you all of and you never know that about
your own kids either do you right and you can have a perfectly normal child and then something can
happen the next day or at any point in time so we just decided we'd leave that up to god and he
knows what we can handle and what we can't and i guess he knew that we couldn't handle a severely
injured child so he gave us a child that wasn't severely injured. And so it's been a real blessing
to have all of our kids and each and every one of them, we could see God's hand in it.
And that's the important thing. On Rockfin, have you considered moving the show to early evening? Funny you should mention that we have, um, and, uh, I'm not a morning person, quite frankly.
Um, you wouldn't know it, but, uh, it's been a real struggle, uh, for these now seven years.
I've been doing, uh, an early morning show and, uh, I don't know, we might do that.
I I'm just concerned about changing anything
i'm afraid we're going to lose audience you know when we had the independent show uh we couldn't
get the podcast that had my name on it that was there as the david knight show i couldn't get
that back from alex so we wound up uh setting up a podcast that was the real David Knight show. And then after about two months, we were able to get that back.
And so we've kept both of those going simply because I'm concerned that if it disappears,
people think, well, I can't find it anymore where I was looking for it.
And so we have two, we have the David Knight show and we have the real David Knight show.
They're both the same thing, but we put them both out there because we're worried that if
people can't find it, they won't look. and it's hard enough for people to find the show that's
why we ask if you can like the stream and give it a review that helps us a great deal uh so um
uh yeah we've thought about that but haven't made any decision about that either um but getting back to um uh this other question which i really didn't answer
um uh you know he says uh when you look at it and living in new york he said um it's a difficult
thing trying to establish um a rap a rapport with people uh who were really not there again i would
just give you the same advice that I said about the
people who moved around the country during the pandemic. Try to get somewhere where there are
people who share your values politically, share your values religiously, and, you know, try it
at the beginning of trying to meet people. I would suggest that you, one of the best places that you could go is go around and try to
find a church that you fit with, a group of people that share your values, and that's going to be
one important way that you can make a connection to people.
A tip from YJ72, thank you for your candid Ask Me Anything question show.
Your story for the questions are uplifting.
Well, thank you.
I hope they are.
You know, that's the key thing.
When I cover the news, the news is really not very good, is it?
We live in these interesting times.
But, of course, that was a Chinese curse.
May you live in interesting times.
And so, they are interesting times,
a lot of interesting topics to talk about,
but it can get very dark and depressing really.
And so I try to do the same types of things.
I don't want people walking away depressed
and thinking that everything is lost.
I also don't want you to put your hope
in things that are going to,
you know, as the phrase was, I think at one point in the Bible it says, you're going to put all your hope in Egypt.
You're going to find that it is a cane that when you lean on it will pierce your hand.
That's what these politicians are.
That's what politics is.
It's a cane, a crutch that you lean on that's going to pierce your hand.
So I want to steer people away from that.
So what do we look at?
Well, we look at God, our relationship with God, because that is the key thing.
This is any data you would be willing to share regarding your viewer base that would be greatly appreciated.
Where did you start?
Where are you now?
Where are your projections?
Well, you know, we really have not looked at it from that standpoint um maybe that's uh part of
the problem i'm really not um really have not set up goals for that type of thing i'm not really
kind of calculated where um i want to be and um in five years that type of thing i like to be above ground uh at my age
that's one of your biggest aspirations uh but um you know my focus has been on uh just on a day-to-day
operation when i do a three-hour show that's basically all i can focus on it's difficult I was just talking to Tony, even tried to move what we have in our IRA over to him.
And it's just, it's been so difficult for me to find the time to get that done.
So, you know, we were about where we started, quite frankly, you know, it's grown a little
bit, but it hasn't grown very much.
And, and part of the reason for that is whenever we start to get some traction somewhere,
it gets shut down.
We've had so many different avenues shut down to us in the first year.
I just kind of backed back and said, I'm not going to worry about this.
I'm going to do the best job I can in terms of trying to get information out to people,
give them my honest opinion, and we'll leave what happens in God's hand.
So we'll just leave it that way uh so um anyway uh i thank you for the uh for the comments that you finished up with that
i appreciate that as well uh compliments that you had there and a tip from jody thank you very much
um says your show of emotion also shows you're close to God David this is
why I've been a listener and value your commentary over others god bless well
thank you Jody I appreciate that it's um I don't like to get emotional but
sometimes sometimes it just can't because there's a lot of you know when
we go back and we look at things that have happened, it's, and when I talk about these songs, they're very personal.
So we're going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, it looks like I'm out of questions here.
If you have any other questions, I'll answer them.
But we're going to talk a little bit about some news.
And actually, there's an interesting piece of news here about a family.
This is a guy who talks about he's a foster kid who went to Yale.
And he says, I think two parent families are more important than college.
This is a guy who was very successful at Yale and other places.
I'm going to tell you what he says about that
and why he says it when we come back.
Elvis.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
And the sweet sounds of Motown.

All right, and again, I'd like to remind people like the
stream that helps us a great deal and um we don't have any more questions here but if you have some
leave them there travis will keep an eye out for it and let me have those i did want to talk about
this i've had this a couple of days and haven't gotten to it yet as i mentioned when we went to
break i'm a foster kid who went to y, and I think two-parent families are more important than college. Social critic Rob Henderson went to Yale for undergrad
and earned a PhD at Cambridge, but he says we place too much emphasis on degrees and diplomas.
We give education more importance than we should. He said, I had to reach the summit of education to understand its limitations.
I've come to understand that a warm and loving family is worth infinitely more than the money
or the accomplishments I hoped might compensate for them.
That's right.
That's God's first institution, the family.
He says it's not good for man to be alone.
Maybe he knows what's best
for us. How about that? Henderson, who has written for the Wall Street Journal and has a popular
Substack newsletter, is best known, this is a New York Post article, by the way, best known for
coining the term luxury beliefs, luxury beliefs, ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class while
inflicting costs on the lower class.
One example is residents of an apartment building with a 24-hour doorman on the Upper East Side
advocating for abolishing the police.
Another is the idea that education is all that people need to succeed and that home life is secondary.
He said, oh, he's 33 years old.
And he said he was born in L.A. to a drug-addicted mother.
He was put into foster care at the age of three.
By the time he was 17, he had lived in 10 different homes, and his upbringing was filled with poverty and with violence. He recalls his birth mother being handcuffed as he was yanked from her,
packing his belongings and shoeboxes and garbage bags as he was shuffled from one foster home to
the next, and even his adoptive mother's partner getting shot. But as he persevered, entering the Air Force at the age of 17 in 2007,
graduating with a BS in psychology from Yale in 2018 via their ROTC program,
and then earning a PhD in psychology from Cambridge in 2022. He said, people told me
my story has brought them to tears. That's never been my intention.
I don't want pity.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
There are many kids who have suffered far more, and some of them never recover from what they've endured.
How true.
But he says, when he went to college, he said, well, before we get to that, he said, oddly enough, I never
really had a stable, permanent family.
But the book that he's written is about how important a family is.
A lot of times we don't really appreciate what we have until we lose it.
That's one of the things I think when God takes us through difficult times in our life,
that's to get us to appreciate the other things that he's always given to us that we never had gratitude for. He said, I lived in seven different foster homes in
LA and then I was adopted and I lived through a few separations and divorces. So in total,
it was 10 different homes without even counting my birth mother and the frequent relocations living
in her car or living in slum apartments.
He said there was a period of my adolescence from about 9 to 13 where I did have two parents.
My adoptive mother entered a relationship with a woman, and they raised me for a few years together.
The bright spot of my childhood was those years.
My grades were the highest that they had ever been.
I was
the most academically focused. I was the least likely to get into trouble at school or with my
friends. He said, we can focus on economics, but I would much rather focus on stability and security
on the emotional rather than the financial. More broadly, if you look at the statistics for who
ends up going to college, these are the kids from two parent
families. We focus a lot on poverty and inequality, but actually, if you look at the data,
it is instability that's much more likely to predict whether a kid goes to college or not.
A kid who lives in extreme unpredictability in his or her early life is much less likely to go
to college than a kid who simply lives in a low
income family.
He said, you argue that educated people tend to, person asking a question, that educated
people tend to overemphasize education as a fix-all for underprivileged kids.
Why do you say that?
He says, people involved in policy and in shaping culture focus on education as a primary means of upward social mobility.
But one of the points I try to make in the book is, yes, it is important and it worked for me, but it doesn't necessarily work for everybody.
Even though I was always academically inclined, the level of disorder in my life was weighing me down so much that I wasn't in a position to fully exploit my own capabilities.
He says, and even if you do somehow manage to get every single one of these kids into some fancy college and they get a degree and they get a comfortable, high paying job, that
doesn't necessarily make up for all the suffering that they went through.
And of course, it doesn't stop them from suffering.
And I would say that it propagates this kind of failed culture as well.
I recall a few years ago there was an article about parents who,
and this is at the very beginning of all of this critical race theory, racism,
and all this DEI stuff and everything.
And these people were paying in New York,
they're paying like $45,000 a year to put their kids in something K through 12,
let's say.
They were in, I think, high school maybe or junior high school.
So they're paying all this money, right?
And they put their kids in these big name schools
because they wanted to transition from there to a big name college because they
thought that would make their kids wealthy and comfortable and so forth and be able to take care
of them in their old life and all this. And you stop and think about how many different mistakes
there is in that. These parents had contacted people in the press and said, you can't believe
what they're doing in this school and I'm paying all this money and everything. Well, do you complain about it? Well, no. If I complain
about it, they might kick my kid out or something, right? They were afraid. They wanted those
credentials. They wanted the name of that school associated with their kid, even though that school
was horrific. I mean, how, you know, again, just like we're talking about the masks.
How do you get yourself in this situation where you're so afraid of and so fearful of the future and other people?
Because you have no foundation to your life.
I mean, you're just floating around.
You're not grounded to something eternal and solid.
You're not grounded to eternity.
You're not grounded to God.
You're just floating around, being blown around by every wind, by every mob that is out there, by every government edict or fear campaign. You're being
blown around because you don't have an anchor. And so when I look at this and understand, you know,
even if you get your kid in a fancy college, what are they going to do? They're going to
destroy their spirit, destroy their soul. They're going to destroy their spirit destroy their soul they're going to attack their soul they're going to tell them they're evil i you know this guy went through the college is
completely different from when he got his degree now i know he got his phd not that long ago but
still um i um we never wanted our kids to go to any of these formal schools because we knew what
they were about because we had been through them and they were much worse, much worse than you can even imagine
what you went through.
You know, we, we went through it and right away, Karen went from college back to being
a teacher.
She couldn't believe how quickly things had changed.
And she was in a more conservative area.
She, she had gone to school in New York and she became a teacher in Florida.
Couldn't, couldn't believe how they
were letting abusive teachers, very abusive teachers stay there because they had tenure.
And that was before they began all the lockdowns and the locker, you know, metal detectors and
everything else like that. And before they began all the CRT, Marxism and and racism, and the DEI insanity.
That was before all that stuff happened.
As I said, people just don't understand how rapidly these schools are deteriorating and collapsing.
Anyway, he said when he went to these schools, he said,
what did you notice difference between yourself and your peers when you went to Yale, for example?
He said, well, of course, these kids were coming from wealthier backgrounds financially,
but he said they also came from backgrounds where they had more stability and where they
had structure.
He said, I had a class where a professor administered an anonymous poll, and out of 20 students,
18 of them had been raised by both of their birth parents.
And he said, and that just floored me because where I grew up,
nobody had been raised by both of their birth parents.
You know, it really is something, if you want your children to succeed,
the question is, how do you define success?
Is it getting a big paying job?
Is it getting, you know, or is it being a big paying job? Is it getting, um, you know,
or,
or is it,
uh,
being grounded in reality,
being grounded in your relationships?
He says,
meanwhile,
almost every single one of these elite college graduates were raised by two
kids,
two parents,
and then themselves will go on to replicate those same experiences for their
own kids.
Well, all I can say is,
one of the key things we can take away from this
is that you can break the cycle.
You don't have to be a victim of your circumstances.
You don't have to be someone who is down
because of the hand that you've been dealt with in life.
But you've got to be careful what you grab for,
and you've got to be careful for what you aspire to.
For example, here is a meta engineer.
Okay.
So he's working for Facebook people probably paid really, really well.
As a matter of fact, um, they had a $2.1 million home.
Of course it was in the San Francisco Bay area, but he had a very nice home, had four-year-old twins and a wife, and he shot his wife, shot his twins, and killed himself.
What is he missing?
He's got everything that, again, this writer says, yeah, well, school, maybe it's not all that much.
And, you know, get a great job out of school. Maybe that's not what's important either.
It wasn't important enough for this guy.
He wound up killing himself and his family.
There was something that he was definitely missing, right?
So we can have all the wealth and we can have all the comfort that people aspire to,
but then what is truly missing in our life?
And by the same token,
the government can take everything from you,
but if you've got that relationship with God and maybe even a relationship with your family,
there's certain things that they cannot take away from you,
but they work really hard.
The Pentagon secretly institutionalized DEI
and its K-12 public schools.
So, you know, while people are out there,
they think perhaps that they're defending their country or whatever.
But while that is happening, and again, I look at a lot of these foreign wars,
I don't think they're about defending our country.
I think they create more risk for our country.
But nevertheless, while they are uh doing that the government is
coming in and subverting their family subverting their children at the same time that's how they
repay you for that um on uh i've got some questions that have popped up here i see on the
other corner of my eye um little john writes does karen miss deer park long island
um yeah how did you know she was i didn't mention the city that she's from but yeah she is from
there um no actually well she she's got good memories of it but um uh we've not gone back
for a very long time and sure it's changed a great deal. Um, but, um, I think she's happy to be where she is right here.
Uh, and Chris, since, uh, Audi MRR supports you often, will you consider
supporting and mentioning his radio station?
Absolutely.
Uh, modern retro radio.
It's always good to see Audi there.
And I know that now he's got his own podcast and I've seen him on with, um,
uh, with Jason Barker and the
nights of the storm.
Uh, so yeah, take a look at Audi, uh, Audi modern retro radio.
He's got, um, uh, and as a matter of fact, uh, he was kind enough to play some of our
Christmas music that we had there as well.
And that, and once before he asked for some of the, some of the songs that we play, uh,
here, he did, uh, independent artists.
And so he played a Christmas songs there at modern retro radio. I hope he's doing well. I haven't seen him for a while. some of the songs that we play here. He did independent artists.
And so he played Christmas songs there at Modern Retro Radio.
I hope he's doing well.
I haven't seen him for a while.
Oh, here's Audi.
He's right there, right?
He says, that's not necessary at all.
And my chats are sufficient promotion from DK.
I plan to contribute much more.
Well, thank you.
I'm just glad to know that you're there
and everything is going good.
So it's good to see you there, Audi.
Joeyo133, my question is, that you're there and everything is going good. So it's good to see you there, Audi. Joey O, 133.
My question is, you have been on here for a few months now.
How long do you think it'll take to get through the sensors?
It's showing 766 connections.
Okay, you're on Rumble.
And yeah, we've been on Rumble for a few months now.
I don't know.
I'm hoping that they're not going to censor it too much.
I think we need to get more and more connected to Substack.
And so that's when somebody asked me, where do we want to go?
That's our aspiration.
We're now posting the description to the show and a link to the show on Rumble each day
for the people who want to find it there.
And that's really a better place for us to do it, frankly,
because a lot of times when we put a long description
of what is in the show for a three-hour show,
sometimes on some of these podcast formats that shows up
and on others it doesn't because it's too long.
Same thing with some of the video formats.
So I think Substack is really, I want to try to make that kind of the home base, but
we still have much to do with that.
North American House Hippo.
I had an unfortunate childhood, not going to go into details, but I'm gratified to say
that I'm still on my one and only wife.
Well, good.
That is a key thing.
You know, that really is a key thing.
That's something that will make you poor financially.
Even everybody cares about money.
Uh, and, and so, uh, if you don't want to get really poor, don't get divorced.
As many people will get, uh, got divorced.
We'll tell you who knows how much money Donald Trump could have had if, uh, if he had not
been divorced or if he had not had these,
uh,
modified prenuptials with,
uh,
Melania that I think,
uh,
people are saying maybe that's why she's back.
Maybe she got that modified a little bit.
Um,
so,
um,
yeah,
the,
uh,
the Pentagon meanwhile is subverting the people who are working for them.
Uh,
they are,
for example,
with this,
uh, some examples of what's happening at the Pentagon schools.
Chat rooms to facilitate teacher-student conversations that are closed off to parents about sexuality and gender.
Why do we call them groomers?
Because this is the hallmark of a pedophile, a sexual groomer.
Let's talk about sex, but don't tell your kid. Don't tell your mom and dad, okay?
Engaging four-year-olds in LGBTQ plus conversations.
A four-year-old.
Four-year-old.
Again, truly a pedo.
So you have the pedo gone.
I guess we should start calling them, right?
It's bad enough that it's like a pentagram,
but now I guess they're the pedogons.
Solidarity with a neo-Marxist Black Lives Matter, as well as video content on dissent
and equity to help educators facilitate classroom conversations and much-needed discussions
about implicit bias.
This is to say that even though you hold no animosity to anybody,
you are still biased.
It's implicit in your skin color and the systemic racism
and human rights and all the rest of this stuff.
By the way, you notice that they want to have content about dissent,
but they really don't want any dissent, do they?
They work very hard to shut that down um and then
finally marxist activism to dismantle systems of quote power and privilege to teach social justice
rather than to have heroes holidays and celebrations well as i've said before justice
needs no adjective and when you add it you're not talking about justice anymore.
And it's not just in the Pentagon schools.
It's the scouts are employing a diversity chief in the UK.
They're going to pay him $75,000 a year.
This is something that goes back to Rex Tillerson's time.
We started doing that.
One of the reasons that you would have Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts is because you lessen the chances that the kids are going to have some kind of sexual thing happening.
At the point they always did that, homosexuality was in the minority.
So what you're going to do, since there is no perfect solution, you can try to vet people, but you can also do things to segregate the kids by sex to try to minimize all
that.
But now they are pushing very hard for all of this and they're going to have a
diversity position.
So this is rolling out everywhere.
I'm going to pause here.
I've got a couple of comments.
Let's see, David, what was your first car and how long did you own it? Uh, well, my first car was a 1968 fastback Mustang two 89. And, um, I had that, uh, I got, uh, I got my driver's license
as soon as it was legal at the age of 15, my dad was able to drive at the year at the age of eight because they didn't have licenses.
And as long as his dad was trusting to hand, they give him the keys to the model a, he would,
he could drive it down the dirt road and things like that.
It's kind of like an off-road vehicle.
Uh, so I understand the situations were a little bit more complicated.
Nevertheless, um,
got my, uh, learner's permit at 15. Then when I get my full license at 16, I got a car.
And, um, and so that car I had, uh, through high school and college after I met Karen, um,
uh, I wanted to get a convertible and I had a good paying job, uh, at that point in time working in bands,
uh, I was making a lot of money. Um, and, um, so I was able to buy a brand new one of those and,
um, um, and it was an interesting car that, that was, uh, I really liked the Mustang. I didn't
like the handling so much had great acceleration. I liked the way it looked on the outside. I didn't like the handling so much. Had great acceleration. I liked the way it looked
on the outside. I got it used. It was a 68 Mustang. I got it in, let's see, when was it that I got it?
It was, it was, got it in 71. It was three years old. And then I bought the Spitfire and we had a
blast in that, but it was a very, very unreliable car.
Uh, like I've said, many times is both the best car I had and the worst car I had, uh, from a reliability standpoint, it was like a little go-kart on the
streets and it, um, it worried my parents, uh, terribly that, uh, they're never
going to see me again every time I got in it because it was so tiny is truly
amazing, uh, how tiny it was
compared to the big cars and everything that were around at that point in time but of course
suvs and pickups have gotten really big now but um anyway those are the uh the two cars that i had
and um i had that first one for about uh four years i guess the spitfire only had for maybe
about a year and a half or two years and I got rid of that and got something that was more reliable and a lot less fun.
It really wasn't that much fun.
We're going to take – well, actually, we're not going to take a quick break because I'm going to be out of time.
And so this is another question here from Alpha Omega Energy.
How do we best contact you about advertising on your show?
I wrote a book on my reverse engineering of remdesivir and other COVID drugs.
And would like to present this as a guest on your show.
I've been on some other shows like Stu Peters, etc.
May I?
Well, send me the information at davidknightshow.com and we'll take a look at it.
Would you consider joining the board of a startup? I make breakthrough energy technology,
and I need Christian Stewart board members like you, David.
Well, I appreciate that.
That's really nice.
I just don't know that I would be able to meet the commitment to do that.
Like I said, this show really is something that takes a lot out of
me and I've got this other project that I'm working on on the side, but, um, I spend, I do
about a 75 hour work week with this stuff and I it's exhausting me. And so that's one of the
things we're talking about changing the, the day, the time of day that we do it, maybe changing the length of the program.
I don't know.
The big part of the problem is I still have to go through, even if I do a shorter show, I still need to go through all the different websites to kind of get an idea of what's happening and try to prioritize what I want to talk about.
So it doesn't really save me that much if I were to do it for two hours instead of three hours. And the thing that really is, is a grind, um, is, uh, going through and,
and doing the description of the show afterwards. That's the point at which,
you know, collecting the information, uh, and then reading the stuff is not, uh, that much of a grind,
but it's after the show is done, I'm really out of energy and it takes me a while to get that done. So, uh, that's the key thing on, um, rumble, uh, Austin, Texas,
BJJ. Hey, David, uh, God bless you. We've emailed back and forth a few times. I work with nutrition.
Can you give me an update on your son's RA? I'm here. If you can make the time. I just want to help you guys.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
And he has been focused on a different approach rather than stem cells that was about addressing the inflammation.
And I don't know if you want to say anything, Travis.
Travis is doing much, much better.
I mean, he's doing a lot better, a lot better, a lot better with this.
And so we're on an improving trend right now.
So I appreciate the offer.
But he was.
That is very kind.
I'll have to send you an email.
Yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
And he was, you know, getting really bad.
I mean, his knee was really bad.
He was walking with a cane all the time. And now he's not walking with a cane.
And so that is a real praise and we are very grateful
for that but thank you so much for the offer i appreciate it and um i guess that's it for today
uh we'll have to do another one of these ask me anything uh questions if you want to uh or
programs if you've got questions send it to me uh maybe we'll do another one in a few weeks or
something like that thank you very much for listening.
