The David Knight Show - Fri Episode #2,002: What Will It Be — AI Corporate Classrooms OR God's Gift of Homeschooling, Tattoo Truthers OR Knuckleheaded Sycophants

Starting point is 00:00:00 The In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 2nd of May, year of our Lord 2025. Well today we're going to talk about what is happening in government and especially in war. It's kind of interesting to see the cabinet meeting that Trump filled the room with people at a very, very large table. It's amazing to see how many cabinet members there are in a presidential administration, and they go around the table, people talking about what they have accomplished in the first 100 days and how important Trump is, which is

Starting point is 00:01:19 what he wanted to hear. So we're going to take a look at that and we're going to take a look at that. And we're going to take a look at their vision of government, as well as their accomplishments. We're also going to take a look at the new push towards artificial intelligence and education. Charter schools, yeah. You know, tens of thousands of dollars a year. Oh, to come from Washington, don't worry. You know, the Department of Education is still going to be financing all this stuff. And they'll be able to educate your kids.

Starting point is 00:01:49 It's so great to have personalized instruction, isn't it? Well, maybe you can have parental involvement. Yeah, we'll compare it to homeschooling. We'll be right back. Well, I've been called a 9-11 truther. I am. I'm not a 9-11 liar. The other side lying to you. The official story is a total lie.

Starting point is 00:02:21 Three buildings collapsed directly into their footprint based on two planes that hit two of them. Okay. You're the 9-11 liar. Anyway, now we have a new category, a new pejorative term, and it was created by a guy who is the conservative voice on CNN, Scott Jennings, and that is a tattoo truther. A tattoo truther now. So I'm a 9-11 truther, I'm a tattoo truther. I'm not a tattoo liar as Scott Jennings is or Donald Trump is.

Starting point is 00:02:54 You know, here's what I gotta say. When you look at Donald Trump, as Reason pointed out, how will we know if he's senile? He doesn't get it at all. You look at it and he's so persistent, so belligerent in this tattoo thing. That's more important than whether or not there's a tattoo on his hand, quite frankly, or whether or not this guy is MS of 13 or not. It's really more important the mental faculties and discernment of Donald Trump, frankly, and the fact that he must

Starting point is 00:03:27 have his way. And so, you know, that is, when we look at that, that's the real issue. But it's also clear that he truly, genuinely believes it, which is troubling in terms of his discernment and intelligence and things like that. But people like Scott Jennings are just cynical liars. Cynical liars. So here is the clip. The president knows he was elected to protect us from MS-13 and that is what they are doing. What do you say about the tattoos? I say that what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie. They're not photoshopped. Are you saying the MS-13 that Donald Trump claims are legitimate tattoos on this guy are true?

Starting point is 00:04:13 Are you saying the photoshop is true? Are you a tattoo truther? I mean I don't understand. Wait, are you a photoshopped denier? They're on there. You're getting away from the issue. They're on there. Hold on.

Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah, we- You know, he's the one who brought it up. He'd prepared this little sound bite. He wanted to talk about the tattoo truthing. So what do you say about the tattoos, he said? She says, Navarro, and I don't watch CNN. I don't know who these people are. I don't have opinion one way or the other. I'm just going on what they had to say about this thing.

Starting point is 00:04:44 She said, I say what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie. And here's the thing, right? Maybe you've watched these people since Scott Jennings is a conservative. You've seen him say a lot of things that you agree with. Maybe you've seen Navarro. I don't even know what her first name is. And so maybe you know these people, right? You've seen them comment on a lot of stuff. I don't even know what her first name is.

Starting point is 00:05:06 So maybe you know these people, right? You've seen them comment on a lot of stuff. Maybe you agree with him, you disagree with her. Forget about that. Forget about that. Just focus on what's being said here. Forget about who is saying it and what they have said in the past. Just focus on this one thing here.

Starting point is 00:05:23 So, it's just that I say that what I said that I said what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie. Jennings says they're not photoshopped. Oh, he's an absolute liar. I mean, come on. This is what it looks like. Now clearly you can see a difference in not only the clarity and the shade of the MS-13 compared to the actual tattoos, but you notice that whoever put that on there

Starting point is 00:05:54 Didn't try to make it look like that was a tattoo They didn't for example look at the three the three should have been rotated to be in the same plane as the tattoo on the finger. These were put on the knuckles, and that's a key thing as well, because Donald Trump was talking about the knuckles. He made it very clear that he believed that there were tattoos on the knuckles that said MS-13.

Starting point is 00:06:21 This guy then comes back and says, "'They're not Photoshopped, Jennings. Navarro said, are you saying that the MS-13 that Trump claims are legitimate tattoos on this guy are true? Are you saying the Photoshop is true? Jennings, are you a tattoo truther? I don't understand that, he said. She said, wait, are you a Photoshopped or not? No, he's a tattoo liar. He's a tattoo liar. He says the picture of his knuckles, Phillips comes in, some guy named Philip, okay? Last name Philip. Scott, the picture of his knuckles does not say MS-13,

Starting point is 00:06:59 because as I pointed out, we've got the picture that was taken by El Salvador, and there's other pictures as well. They're setting down. They brought margaritas and you can see his left hand again. You can see the tattoos on his fingers. There's no tattoos on his knuckles. And that was after he was deported. But he said, okay, Jenning says, they're symbols. Ah. So now he's deliberately Okay, Jenning says, they're symbols. Ah, so now he's deliberately and cynically muddying the water. And I'm going to focus on this, folks, because look, what this tells us about Trump's personality,

Starting point is 00:07:36 his intellect and discernment and all the rest of the stuff is very important. And what it tells us about these people in the media is very important. He cynically says then he pivots and says they're symbols. And then Navarra says, well that has not been proven either Scott. None of the things he said. Now look, wait a minute, you know, this is about knuckles tattoos on knuckles that we're talking about. Philip comes back and says, well, let me explain to people what we're talking about here. There are symbols on his knuckles. No, they're not.

Starting point is 00:08:10 They're on his fingers. None of them say MS-13. However, this administration has decided that they symbolize something related to MS-13, which is disputed by a lot of people. Jennings says it is not disputed. Okay, three lies. One, cynical prevarication. Well, I didn't really say it was a… Okay, now I say the symbols and then I say that they're not disputed. No, it is disputed, as I pointed out when I first did it. I said I thought it was ridiculous for them to say that the

Starting point is 00:08:42 skull was a three and the cross was a one. And I showed, when this happened a couple of weeks ago, before this back and forth Trump ad, I showed real tattoos. I said, look, they're big, they're bold. I mean, they're covering their whole chest or they put them on their face or whatever. And other people have said, yeah, we haven't seen these types of tattoos used that way, number one. Number two, if he was trying to be that subtle and that hidden, he would be attacked by his

Starting point is 00:09:08 own gang members for being cowardly and for trying to hide it. They don't try to hide it. They put it out there. You have the big M, S and like gothic letters and then you have the one three clearly shown that is not so it is disputed all of this stuff is a lie the key is a Trump never argued that the pictures tattooed on his fingers were codes or symbols of MS-13 he said it's literally written there on his hand on his knuckles, right? And as I said yesterday, that makes Trump a knucklehead. He just proved he's a knucklehead because he can't tell the stuff that's photoshopped on the knuckles he thinks is real. Knucklehead! That's gonna be our name for Trump. Knucklehead Trump?

Starting point is 00:10:05 So as Reason says, Trump's tattoo fantasy raises a question. If he were senile, how would we know? That's Knucklehead. He's got MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles, said Trump. On his knuckles, Scott Jennings. And let me just say, you know, when you look at this, Scott Jennings, he's outed himself not as a conservative, but as a con man. Conservative, con man.

Starting point is 00:10:34 Look, somebody does something that devious, that deceptive, don't listen to them anymore. I mean, I don't know who this guy is. I would just, I would flip the channel. He's on CNN. Do I need to say anymore. I mean, I don't know who this guy is. I would just, I would flip the channel. He's on CNN. Do I need to say anymore? He's a cynical con man. He's willing to lie to you for his objective. Do you tune in to get information or do you tune in to be manipulated? Do you tune in to be influenced? Do you tune in to be nudged? Do you tune in to be a subject in a Psyop experiment? That's what the media is! Discuss me to see this! Discuss me to see that kind of cynicism. And then of course

Starting point is 00:11:18 the other people were not gonna hold him to it. It's like no no no. Trump said knuckles is obviously not Photoshopped. And don't, you just changed. You just pivoted here in a very subtle way. Say, well, they were symbols. And they're not disputed symbols. Yeah, they are. So going to a reason, Jacob Sallam

Starting point is 00:11:39 says the bizarre insistence. And see, that is the key thing. It was Trump's, when he first did it okay well you know he just doesn't get it and everybody's afraid to tell him so that tells us something about the Trump administration as well. It tells you that the conservative influencers and the media on social media will lie to you will manipulate you for this but also tells you that the people around him are afraid to talk to him and you know they are

Starting point is 00:12:05 you know that look at how angry he got with Terry Moran over this thing and Yeah, let's play that Of a gang and then they looked and on his knuckles. He had MS Wait a minute he had MS 13 We had some tattoos that are interpreted that way but let's Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattoo. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. But let's move on. Wait a minute. Hey, Terry, Terry, Terry.

Starting point is 00:12:30 He did not have the letter MS-13. It says MS-13. That was photoshopped. So let me just- That was photoshopped. Terry, you can do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview.

Starting point is 00:12:42 I picked you because- Bow to me. Exactly. I never heard of you, but that's okay. I picked you because I never heard of you but that's okay I picked you Terry but you're not being very nice he had MS 13 tattoo agree to disagree I want to move on to something Terry do you want me to show you the picture I saw the picture well and you think was Photoshopped well here we go here we go don't Photoshop it go look at his hand he had MS 13 he did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way I'm not an expert on them.

Starting point is 00:13:05 I want to turn to you, Crane, sir. No, no, Terry, no, no. He had MS as clear as you can be, not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe the news because it's fake news. When he was photographed in El Salvador, they aren't there, but let's just go. They aren't there when he's in El Salvador.

Starting point is 00:13:24 Oh, they weren't there, but they're there oh they want to go there now right no but they're in your picture terry ukraine sir he's got ms-13 on his knuckles all right okay we'll take a look it's you just such a disservice we'll take a look why don't you just say yes he does and you know go on to something else he's contested good for him for not bowing. No, no, it's not a symbol, Scott Jennings. Not a symbol.

Starting point is 00:13:50 It's on his knuckles. I saw it and I can't tell the difference. Somebody got ripped off over $300 million in Bitcoin, an elderly person who got ripped off and I thought, was that Donald Trump? This guy is supposed to believe that Donald Trump is involved in crypto. He's got enough money that he could lose $300 million. It's a good example of why I don't like crypto. You are exposed to the best and brightest of thieves everywhere. You know, the amount of money that I would have, I

Starting point is 00:14:33 would not be a target. But still, you know, it is the... it's whatever you've got. Look, I mean, you know, there's some people, you don't have to have $300 million to have a big head. It could be $300, right? You just don't want to expose yourself to the best and brightest of criminals around the world by being on a public blockchain. And so that's what they do. Anyway, you know, speaking of discernment when we have that and so Trump the new crypto master of the world can't tell what's going on with Photoshop and Scott Jennings he was saying not symbols they're not symbols and they're on his

Starting point is 00:15:20 knuckles and you can see it says MS-13. Scott Jennings, why are you lying to people? And of course CNN can't show the actual clip for some reason. Well, Trump said they said he's not a member of MS-13 even though he's got MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles. Although Trump clearly mistook those labels for ink on his skin, he adamantly refused to acknowledge his embarrassing error when Moran pointed it out. No, he still doesn't get it. It isn't pride on that.

Starting point is 00:15:54 It is pride that this guy would dispute him. And as I said, look, I think this Garcia guy is connected, not necessarily with MS-13, but I think he is connected with some of these cartels doing human trafficking because of the traffic stop that was in Tennessee, eight people in his car. None of them had any identification, none of them spoke English. The car belonged to someone else who had been convicted of trafficking and all the rest of the stuff. Why isn't the Trump administration talking about that? You know when they say that the guy was mistakenly sent to that prison as an MS-13 prisoner, but we're not going to bring him back because he's got MS-13 on his knuckles. Come on, bring him back, put up the real evidence, do the due process. But instead, they want

Starting point is 00:16:41 this kind of conflict. When Trump says something is clearly not true, does it reflect his long-standing character traits or does it reflect the sort of cognitive decline that forced Biden to withdraw from last year's presidential race? At 78, Trump is four years younger than Biden. But by the end of his term, Trump will be older than Biden was when his disastrous debate performance made it plain that his mental faculties were slipping. And you can be sure that if Biden had displayed this kind of stubborn obliviousness that was evident in Trump's conversation with Moran, Republicans would have cited it as clear evidence

Starting point is 00:17:22 for his encroaching senility." Now that's right. So Moran said, your government sent him back to El Salvador and acknowledged in court that it was a mistake. And that's when they get into this fight about the tattoos and the knuckles. Trump's manner, his tone of voice, his persistence during this exchange, suggests that he sincerely believes what he is saying. He is not even willing to entertain the possibility that he might be wrong, and in Trump's mind it is Moran, who is either mistaken or deceptive, but either way, you're nobody, and I gave

Starting point is 00:17:59 you an interview. Kiss my ring." That arrogance as well. So he said, consider this, consider another example. The special tariffs on Mexican, Canadian and Chinese goods. Now he justified this by talking about the flow of illicit fentanyl. And the explanation that Trump offered on Truth Social last month was this. He said, the aim of taxing imports from Canada, he said, was to quote, penalize Canada for

Starting point is 00:18:30 the sale into our country of large amounts of fentanyl by tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy. What? What are you talking about? That's what reason says. So you've got people who are supposed to believe that people who are trafficking fentanyl are going to pay the tariffs. That's what Trump actually put out.

Starting point is 00:19:01 We did this by trafficking the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and to buy. What in the world is he talking about? Look, I've seen in the past with war on drugs, you had so they could add penalties and stuff like that to people. They love to stack up charges so people don't take it to court, so you don't have plea bargaining and all the rest of this stuff. So they do have plea bargaining, so you don't have jury notification, so you don't have jury

Starting point is 00:19:33 trials. They like to stack the stuff up. Take a plea bargain will make a lot of this stuff go away. So one of the things that they've done in the past is with marijuana, they would set up a law and say if you want to sell marijuana you have to get a marijuana permit from the state. Well of course nobody is going to get a permit to sell something that is going to put them in jail if they know that you're selling it, right? In the same way that nobody is going to pay a tariff to smuggle and fentanyl, which would put you in jail. It was just there, they did put the law on the books in some states so they could throw another charge at you and just stack them up.

Starting point is 00:20:19 But nobody ever got a license to sell illegal prohibited marijuana and nobody's going to get a license or pay a tariff to sell fentanyl. That's insane. I had not seen that before. Jacob Sullum on Reason. He says as Brian Doherty on Reason noted, that description suggests Trump's understanding of what he's even doing is deficient, since he seems to think that his terrorists will be taxing and thus raising the price of the illegal fentanyl that he fantasizes is flooding the US from Canada. Was Joe Biden ever more detached? I mean, we can look at this, and I've said this in the past, it's like, oh, okay, this

Starting point is 00:21:07 is just a cynical lie so that he has an excuse to create an emergency and act as a dictator, and that's what he does with everything. But then when you see his posts about this, you have to ask yourself, does he really believe his own lies? This is like the MS-13 stuff. Nobody wanted to tell him. Nobody wanted to say, you know, Joe over in this other department, he's the one who added the MS-13 there as an example.

Starting point is 00:21:42 Nobody wanted to tell him after Trump had said that publicly. Nobody wanted to go back and tell him. So now he truly believes it. He's going to fight with Terry Moran over that. And everybody's like, did... Can somebody tell him? I'm not telling him. You tell him. If I tell him he's going to get sowing, he'll fire the guy who did the photoshopping, he'll fire me for telling him. If Trump thinks he's terrifying the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy, he said he imagines drug traffickers whose entire business model is based on defying the law, nevertheless are keen to comply with his new taxes by declaring their imports to the border and forking over 25% of their value.

Starting point is 00:22:29 You know, everything to declare? Yeah, I've got some fentanyl here and I like to pay the tax on it. Like the highly incriminating but imaginary tattoos, his assertions that drug smugglers are paying tariffs seems like a fantasy rather than a lie. You know, I believe that it was Anthony Scaramucci who said first the oft-repeated thing about Trump, �Don�t take him literally, but seriously.� No, no, no. Don�t take him seriously. Take him literally. It�s just

Starting point is 00:23:00 the other way around. It�s the other way way. Don't take Trump seriously. Take him literally. So, when we look at what happened with in Canada, what we're talking about fentanyl, Trump declared his love for Mark Carney. Folks are part of the same club. They're part of the World Economic Forum. It was ten days before Trump's HHS, big pharmaceutical guy, head of HHS, former CEO of Eli Lilly, Alex Azar. Trump goes to the World Economic Forum in January of 2020, January the 21st,

Starting point is 00:23:40 January the 31st. His big pharma CEO at HHS declares a pandemic in the US. That was January the 31st. There was no cases. They said, oh, we got six cases in the entire country. They declared it an emergency. And then Trump released, based on the declared emergency, he released the emergency funding that controlled everything on Friday the 13 emergency, he released the emergency funding that controlled everything

Starting point is 00:24:05 on Friday the 13th, March 2020. Now I've always said, you know, so since everybody was on the same page and everybody was doing the same thing with lockdown and lockstep, did he get his marching orders and everything? Was that World Economic Forum thing? Was that the final plan? Now we look at Mark Carney, who folks is really more dangerous than Klaus Schwab. You know, we've had situations where most of these presidents that we've had in my lifetime have been puppets of the CIA, except when we had George H.W. Bush. And this is a guy who ran the CIA that was there. That's why I said, Mark Carney is to the World Economic Forum and the globalists what George

Starting point is 00:24:48 H.W. Bush was to the CIA. And Trump wanted him in. He's a nice gentleman. He says, I actually think the conservative guy hated me much more than the so-called liberal. And he's a pretty liberal guy he said so he admits that he wanted he attempted to destroy the Conservatives in Canada because he would like to have Mark Carney win the you know core world economic forum guys I said this is like

Starting point is 00:25:19 getting Klaus Schwab elected as Chancellor of Germany. Poliev, who also lost his seat, the conservatives did manage to pick up 20 new seats, but back in March Trump said at the time he had quote, an extremely productive call with Carney and he implied that the World Economic Forum linked politicians to win Canada's upcoming federal election. And he did everything he could to make that happen. Trolling Canadians, calling it the 51st state, and doing it less than 24 hours before the election, he did it again. It had enraged the Canadians to the extent they're

Starting point is 00:25:57 booing Americans at hockey events and all the rest, booing the national anthem and the flag. He also said before the election that he would prefer Carney to continue as Canada's Prime Minister instead of Poliev. But what everybody saw was his trolling of the 51st state, and everybody associated that with Poliev. People voted against Trump. If you wanted to vote against Trump, you should have voted against Mark Carney, because that's who Trump wanted.

Starting point is 00:26:27 And of course, they don't directly vote for the Prime Minister. 51st state nonsense fueled a wave of anti-American sentiment in Canada. The mainstream press say that Poliev was a quote, Trump-lite, unquote. So go for Carney. Poliev, at the time, had hit back at Trump, saying the reason that Trump endorsed Carney was that he, quote, knows that I would be a tough negotiator, he said. Many political pundits have said that Carney owes his win to Trump. Carney's win has sparked a constitutional crisis, says LifeSite News.

Starting point is 00:27:02 Alberta premier Danielle Smith said that her province could soon consider taking serious steps towards greater autonomy from Canada in light of Carney's win. Oh, 4D chess, they say. No. No. No? Um, you're being played as a pawn. This guy is part of the globalist folks.

Starting point is 00:27:22 He is a New York Democrat. He's a World Economic Forum globalist.. He's a World Economic Forum globalist. Donald Trump is a World Economic Forum globalist. Forget all the PR. Forget all the professional wrestling nonsense. That's what he really is. Look at what he does, not at what he says. Carney, like Trudeau, says LifeSite News, Carney, like Trudeau, says LifeSite News, has extensive ties to both China and the globalist world economic forum and all the central bankers. I mean, central banker of Canada and then central banker of England. Connections that were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead up to the election.

Starting point is 00:28:00 Polio's defeat comes as many social conservatives felt betrayed by him. More than once on the campaign trail, he promised to maintain the status quo on abortion, which is permitted through all nine months of pregnancy. He also supports euthanasia. He failed to directly address a number of moral issues, like the LGBT agenda. He is also fully on board with the climate, McGuffin. Is he really a conservative? No. But is he as deeply embedded in all of this stuff as Mark Carney? No. No. And it's

Starting point is 00:28:35 Mark Carney that Trump wants. How many times does Trump have to fall in line in actions with the World Economic Forum, even as he's telling you how much he, you know, is a nationalist and all the rest of stuff. He didn't even say that with Mark Carney. Didn't even say that with Mark Carney. Even publicly said. He supported him. So Trump is also suggesting suspending habeas corpus. Tyrants like Lincoln and FDR, people who completely restructured our government at those fourth turnings of the Civil War and World War II, it's the kind of person who completely restructures your government that will also get rid of habeas corpus. One of the longest traditions of freedom that we have in the West, along with things like free

Starting point is 00:29:31 speech that he doesn't care for either. Trump is suggesting bypassing habeas corpus in order to get past the judges that are blocking his deportations. You see, once they create a problem like this, now we have to do whatever is necessary. I'm going to have to force you to get ID to live your life. Everybody in the US is going to have to have a real ID, they're going to have to have a digital ID, you're going to have to have an ID to get online, you're going to have to have my permission, mandatory e-verify in order to get a job, and on and on and on.

Starting point is 00:30:04 And we have to do this because of this problem. Oh, now we've got to suspend habeas corpus as well. Trump opened the door on Wednesday to suspending the writ of habeas corpus, a rarely used constitutional power to advance mass deportations. So he could advance mass deportations, so he could advance mass deportations. He said that he was asked about this, and what are you going to do to mitigate the situation? He says, well, one way that's been used by three very highly respected presidents, we hope we don't have to go that route. Now, let me tell you, this was a setup.

Starting point is 00:30:42 This was a question that was asked to him by DC Drano, the propagandist. They call him an influencer. Rogan Hanley. These are the guys that showed up, you know, along with Libs of TikTok. They show up with a Jeffrey Epstein paper. Look, we got the Epstein. And it was nothing, right? They do a big photo op and tell everybody, look, the most transparent president we've ever had. True. everybody. Look, the most transparent president we've ever had. True. Transparently a fraud. And so were they. And so Rogan O'Hanley, also known as D.C. Draeno, is allowed to go to the White House press conference and ask questions of Trump. I wonder if they'd talked about this. You know, what are you going to do to actually deliver for the American people? because look Trump is not a scholar of history and

Starting point is 00:31:32 He said we've had very highly respected three presidents who have done this. Well, what is that? Well people worked it out It's getting rid of habeas corpus Lincoln Grant FDR They all of habeas corpus. Lincoln, Grant, FDR, they all suspended habeas corpus, all corrupt dictators set against the constitution, set to restructure, redefine, redesign our society, just like Trump. The US Constitution says that habeas corpus may only be suspended, quote, in cases of rebellion or invasion of the public. So again, he's going to make that case again. Oh, being invaded and it is an emergency, blah, blah, blah, I'm going to suspend habeas corpus. Maybe he'll follow up with Lincoln. Maybe he'll start jailing congressmen who disagree with him. Come after congressmen and governors

Starting point is 00:32:29 and put them in jail. That's wonderful, our wonderful President Lincoln, who did that kind of stuff. Meanwhile, the mass deportations are not even happening. There's all this storm and fury signifying nothing about all this stuff. Federal data shows that there's not been a significant jump in immigrants deported since Trump took office. Mass deportations have not occurred. The numbers show removals are lagging behind levels during the Biden administration. And this doesn't have anything to do with the judges yet. They'll jump in on this. But this is prior to that. Sue Long, co-founder of the nonpartisan transactional records access clearinghouse, said, frankly, I was shocked

Starting point is 00:33:13 when she looked at the stats on immigration. She said, early on, the Trump administration touted the number of daily immigration arrests, but they've never shared detailed deportation figures. Long was able to calculate recent deportation figures using a cumulative number deep inside a spreadsheet that ICE is required by law to keep updated for Congress. She said they're lower. Their daily average is simply 10% lower than it was during Biden. Phony. Posturing. propaganda, lies.

Starting point is 00:33:48 Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at this little cabinet meeting, which I think is also instructive in terms of their mindset. And Rumble Chavkin says, I can't believe this is the best America could come up with. No, it's judgment from God, quite frankly. I'm serious about that. I'm serious. How do we get the dregs of society consistently in? It's an indication of the corruption and the vile nature of Washington, but I think it is also a judgment from God that we have people like this selected as leaders for our country and it will work out that way as well. On Rumble, Star Barkley says he's a narcissist, they can't admit they're wrong,

Starting point is 00:34:30 they will lie, they're face-off until you back down and they will never back down. Yeah, that's exactly it. It is truly amazing. Well, we're gonna take a quick break and We'll be right back. I was looking for a song that I heard but I haven't played for a while, but I don't see it here Well, we'll just go with this So So So So So You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, welcome back on Rumble, Gard, Goldsmith. Good to see you, Gard.

Starting point is 00:36:35 Liberty Conspiracy, every Monday through Friday on Rumble as well as on X. He says that DC Drano quote, he told Bannon that. Get this, the president could suspend habeas based on Article One, Section Nine. Well, that's what I just read. It can only be suspended cases of rebellion or invasion, blah, blah, blah, you know. That's what he said.

Starting point is 00:36:57 Look, both of those guys are people, DC Drano, Bannon, I don't pay any attention to them. Get your information from G guard. I mean seriously seriously Those guys have an agenda They will lie to you Look, we try to tell you Give you our honest opinion and why we believe it That's not what they do

Starting point is 00:37:21 By the way, let me think some of the people on Zelle who began the month here. This is contributions yesterday. Terry M, Peter H, Kevin M, Maurice W, Kelly K, Gregory I, John S, Jared U, William D, and Michael L. Thank you so much for helping us as we begin this new month and hopefully we won't get so far behind this month. Let's talk a little bit about this cabinet meeting.

Starting point is 00:37:53 This was posted up and one guy had put up on a Twitter feed, Carl Mehta, and he put up a little clip from pretty much every person going around the table on here. President Trump just hosted a high-stakes cabinet meeting at the White House. Well, you know what the high stakes were. You better first of all give Trump credit for everything that happens. Okay? We could have never done it. Flatter him.

Starting point is 00:38:21 Butter him up one side and down the other. That's the high stakes. Or you're going to lose. You say, don't take credit for this without giving it to him. One by one, top cabinet members delivered major announcements directly reporting to the American people. So this is a little photo op that was done. I think it's interesting to see how many people are there.

Starting point is 00:38:42 Well, you talk about a bloated government. You talk about a government that is involved in one thing after the other. These minor departments, well, they're not minor. They have budgets of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. And when you look at it, you realize just how out of control government is. But I want you to look at how these people

Starting point is 00:39:01 suck up to the narcissist. First of all, Mr. Mayor. So better because I'll be short as well. First of all, it's Mr. Manning. So better be short as well. A couple things, Mr. President. I think you deserve a lot of credit for two things. The first is assembling this great team of people. Some of whom I've only gotten to know during this period of time, but putting together a team, not just of talented individuals, but that work well together.

Starting point is 00:39:20 President, your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other president in this country. Ever. Ever. Never seen anything like it. Thank you. Your directive to me was very simple. Make America safe. And despite that, Mr. President, you are 100% correct.

Starting point is 00:39:41 The border is 99.99% safe, under control. Sir, it's been a momentous 100 days with you at the helm. And I view this 100 days as setting the table for peace deals, trade deals, tax deals. So the next 100 days will be harvesting. You've created negotiating leverage and leadership. They're going to yield remarkable results. Traditionally, in the past, and it's one of the problems we got in as a country, is

Starting point is 00:40:09 presidents would say, okay, let's go do something, and then they would have to do a study, and then a study on the study, and then a long internal deliberative process, and by the time you got to it, it was too late or somebody had forgotten it. In this administration, it's moving, you know the direction because you know why you were elected. The American people elected you very clearly, and basically it's measured, you know the direction because you know why you were elected. The American people elected you very clearly. And basically, it's measured, I used to say by days and weeks, now it's measured by hours and minutes. But action is happening. And that's what people want to see.

Starting point is 00:40:35 Yeah, we don't need no stinking studies. Come on, let's do it. Every hour, every few minutes, we've got a different tariff rate. Because, you know, that's what the American people wanted. They said, we want somebody who's going to raise our taxes and tell us that somebody else is going to lie to our face and tell us that somebody else is going to pay the taxes. That's what we want.

Starting point is 00:40:54 Isn't that what you voted for if you voted? I didn't vote. There's nothing on the menu that I could swallow without throwing up, so I didn't vote. But yeah, that's what we voted for. We don't need any stinking studies. We know that Americans want more taxes. They want higher prices on everything.

Starting point is 00:41:16 And that's what we voted for. And we didn't do a study. We don't know when we put these taxes on. We don't know how it's going to run out there. We haven't thought about locking down the supply chain. So we'll adjust to that when the supply chain locks down, then we'll think about something to do maybe. And we'll react to that.

Starting point is 00:41:36 You know, Scott Besson says, well, we have set the table. Now what you have done is you have sown seeds of chaos and you're going to reap the world when and so are we. That's the reality of this. It's the stuff that changes every couple of hours. That's supposed to be a feature? I think it's a bug. Let's take a look at Sean Duffy, for example.

Starting point is 00:42:01 And he talks about how they reduce the corporate average fuel economy, the CAFE standard, right? And that's a good thing. I'm glad that they're reducing it. But I wonder why they're not getting rid of it. But I'll just let him make his case, and I've got several things to say about the mindset of what is there. In other words, I look at this and say, okay, yeah, I'm all for lowering the emission standards of the fuel economy standards, not the emissions, but the fuel economy standards. I'm all for lowering it. It doesn't matter. I want to

Starting point is 00:42:32 get rid of it. And I'm all for making sure that we don't have a surcharge for carbon taxes put on infrastructure. And I'm all for following the law, you know, except the problem is, is he thinks that following the law is obeying Trump's executive orders. That's not law. And, you know, when we look at that, it just underscores the fact these people understand. Trump understands. All of them understand. Everybody understands, except the MAGA voters who don't want to understand. They know better. They won't ever admit that Trump controlled the lockdown, the masks, the ventilators, the remdesivir, because he paid these hospitals to do it. But let's hear what Sean Duffy, who has to say. He's the transportation secretary, took Pete Bootygate's place.

Starting point is 00:43:28 The CAFE standards, we have the fuel economy standards on vehicles that are going to go to 50 miles per gallon. We are going to rewrite those standards, bring it down to something that's far more reasonable. Elon's fine with that, I hope. But it's going to drive down the price of a car in America, making cars more affordable for families. Also, Biden had the social cost of credit when we build infrastructure roads and bridges, adding 3% to 5% on infrastructure costs. We've gotten rid of the social cost of carbon,

Starting point is 00:44:03 driving down the cost of building roads and bridges across the country. We have what is called follow the law. So we have so many states and municipalities that don't follow the law. So whether it's DEI, discriminating against Americans, whether they give illegal drivers illegal drivers license or their sanctuary cities or states if you don't follow the law if you're given license to illegals if you're having DEI policies we're not going to fund your projects so you've got to certify in your state or in your city to get road and bridge money or

Starting point is 00:44:38 rail money that you're actually following the law which includes executive orders uh... from you Mr. President all right let's talk about what that tells us a little bit about the mindset of Washington. It's pretty standard stuff. I don't have any axe to grind with Sean Duffy. I don't know him, know where he comes from or his background or anything. And you know, what he's saying here, I'm not picking on him, because what he's saying here is pretty much boilerplate, uniparty version of government

Starting point is 00:45:07 here, but let's just think about it here. Number one, we're going to reduce CAFE. Okay, well that's good. You know, the corporate average fuel economy. But first of all, understand this is not going to be any immediate relief on the price of cars. Biden was going to continue to jack it up to 50 miles per gallon, which was going to make cars, basically he's doing that to ban internal combustion engines.

Starting point is 00:45:33 They came after Volkswagen. Trump didn't do anything to roll that back either in his first term. Came after Volkswagen because Volkswagen, as Eric Peters has pointed out many times, had a 100 mile per gallon diesel engine that was going to last forever, pretty much, about as forever as you're going to get in this world. And a very durable engine that got 100 miles per gallon, they had to shut it down, said you cheated on your corporate average fuel economy test. Use that to hit them with billions of dollars of fines. As Eric Peters and I have talked about many times, they've had situations, faulty designs, you know, exploding pentos from back when we were in college, carrying

Starting point is 00:46:15 out a pinto. Fortunately, she didn't have it for too long. Somebody stole it from her. You know, anyway, that's another story. another story. There's some really stupid people out there. You steal a Pinto. You got a Pinto because you can't afford another car. But somebody would steal that. Anyway, the Pintos that had a problem. And they made a very... the key thing about that was that the company made a very cynical decision and said, you know, it'll be cheaper for us to pay a few people who get burned to death in a car, pay their families, than it would be for us to add this $50 part to each and every pinto that we sell. You know, that type of calculation. It was really reprehensible.

Starting point is 00:46:58 And then you got the airbags, mandated by government, which don't do anything to help anybody at all. Seat belts do help people, but airbags don't. As a matter of fact, if you have the air bag there, the supplemental restraint system, if you have that there and you don't wear your seat belts, then it's much worse. And of course, when they put them out, the seat belts were adjusted for the average male not for women and certainly not for small children and so they were injuring seriously injuring and killing and

Starting point is 00:47:35 You know women and small children as a matter of fact you if you look at the You, if you look at the, what was the guy from North Carolina that was in a wheelchair, young man in a wheelchair. Can't remember his name. But he was paralyzed because he was asleep in the car with his feet up on the dashboard.

Starting point is 00:47:57 And he had a minor accident, but it was big enough to shoot off the airbag. And you know, he would never would never very athletic never walk again anyway the Madison Cawthorn thank you that's that's good thank you thanks Travis yeah Madison Cawthorn so anyway airbags blowing up faulty airbags. And we had about 20 deaths or so worldwide exploding and shooting scrap metal into somebody's chest, that type of thing. But they never got the kind of punishment that Wolfshagen did for quote unquote cheating

Starting point is 00:48:40 on an emissions test. So there's this cafe thing. Okay, so it's not going to be any immediate relief and guess what? It's still there. What Sean Duffy did not say is, okay, they're not going to escalate it to 50 miles per gallon. Are they going to leave it where it is now? Are they going to roll it back to some earlier thing? They should get rid of it altogether. The federal government doesn't have any authority to do that. Now they gave themselves, what I was surprised, first of all, to see that this is something in the Department of Transportation.

Starting point is 00:49:11 Because what they did was they gave the Department of Energy, they gave them, Congress gave them a power that Congress didn't have to give. And that was to set regulations about fuel efficiency. That was the Department of Energy. The EPA was given the ability to start regulating people based on emissions. And it wasn't about climate change. It was about pollution when it started. So this is all mission creep and everything. But those two things, the ability to dictate efficiency and the ability to dictate emissions, those need to be taken away. Those are laws that were passed by Congress in violation of the 10th Amendment.

Starting point is 00:49:56 But he's not saying that they're taking away the corporate average fuel economy mandate. And he doesn't say to what level they're going to reset it. So that's the first problem. Even if they were to lower it, guess what? Next time somebody else comes in, they may shoot it through the roof. Because it's just a dictate and can go either way. So if you leave that horrible thing there, somebody's going to pick it up and use it as a weapon again. And they're not getting rid of it. They're leaving it there. And then the other thing he said about the corporate average fuel economy says, well I hope Elon is okay with this. Now he's

Starting point is 00:50:32 joking, but he's not joking. And because you know these these guys like Elon Musk, they invest in these politicians to get what they want from them. And Elon Musk, and everybody knows it, not just in that room, Elon Musk became the world's richest man by exploiting these kinds of emissions standards, by exploiting this nonsense of net zero and all the rest of this. Second thing, Biden had put on an arbitrary fee for carbon stuff of he said three to five percent three to five percent okay and that was a carbon social cost a carbon

Starting point is 00:51:18 social cost added three to five percent surcharge to all the infrastructure projects he said we've taken that off. Well good, good. Problem is, what has Trump added? Trump has added a 25 percent tariff on steel that's going to be used on all these construction projects. So he takes off the three to five percent nonsense carbon social cost fee from Biden and then Trump puts on a 25% fee on the steel. Are you tired of winning? Okay, then he says and then we tell them you have to do what we say. Follow the law and that means executive orders. So again, we got an executive order, you know, you don't use DEI now. If you do, we're going to take away your money, okay? Trump never took away people's money if they put masks on people, right? As a matter of fact,

Starting point is 00:52:19 he kept the money flowing. He sent them money so they would do that kind of stuff. And there was never a time in 2020 where Trump says, you stop that, you bad Democrat governors, you stop those masks and the social distancing nonsense and locking down small mom and pop businesses. No, he said the mom and pop businesses are not essential, lock them down. And here's some money. And I'm going to keep sending you money, because I agree with what you're doing. But now, I don't agree with the DEI. So I'm going to pull your money back, even for infrastructure projects. And you've got to follow the law,

Starting point is 00:52:57 which is in my mouth, my emergency orders. You see, that's where we are now. Guard says, oh man, that's nauseating. They're going around looking at all these people sucking up to Trump. I tell you, I can't stand politics, whether it's office politics, national politics. I can't stand that stuff because it's all about that. It's all about that. On rumble, Sheila A. says, Musk is another DARPA frontman. Oh yeah,

Starting point is 00:53:24 absolutely. Yeah, you know another DARPA frontman. Oh, yeah, absolutely Yeah, you know DARPA is very first contest Was the self-driving vehicles very first one? And that's what he is championed from the very beginning. They also had big robotics contest as well But yeah, he's a frontman for DARPA and so then we go to Brooke Rollins, the Ag Secretary, and she has this to say. Well, I'm not sure if anyone's heard, but the price of eggs is down. I know it's news. Today, as we celebrate the 100th day, I think that it's just such a joy and an honor to continue to do this work.

Starting point is 00:54:04 So thank you for that. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The price of eggs are down, but thank you, Trump. You're responsible for that. You know, uh, have they stopped killing chickens? Um, that's the USDA was solely responsible for this nonsense.

Starting point is 00:54:20 Nobody else in the world is killing their chickens except us. Nobody else in the world is killing their chickens except us. And yet, when you, as the Hill points out, egg companies are getting government bailouts and it's actually increased now at the very beginning of the Trump administration. They're getting government bailouts, these big egg companies are getting government bailouts, while they are price gouging consumers. He says gouging consumers is bad enough but it gets worse. CalMain and other ag companies were breaking the bank at the same time. They were also quietly getting millions in taxpayer-funded relief payments from the

Starting point is 00:54:57 federal government. And so he says 115 million egg-laying chickens have been called in response to flu outbreaks. No, actually, they were called by the USDA unnecessarily. It made no sense. It made no more sense than the six feet apart of the mask. As a matter of fact, it contradicted all sense, just as those did. He says, Congress and the Trump administration must put a stop to this, but here we are 100 days in. They didn't do anything about it.

Starting point is 00:55:30 And as government officials always do, they take credit for everything. The egg prices have gone down because production, even though the egg prices went up with the stuff that they were doing, a production only dipped about four percent and a lot of this stuff was just manipulation of the marketplace and These big companies are getting government money while they are getting record profits

Starting point is 00:55:56 It's absolutely amazing and you stop about and think about this even after the federal government Killed 110 million chickens for the benefit of these big ag companies, production only dropped by 4%. What do you think would have happened if they hadn't killed the 110 million chickens? What do you think production would have been? Do you think these, you know, let's just go, let's just, let's just take this down the conspiracy theory road here. Could it be possible that these big companies that get so much government subsidy and have everything handed to them on a silver platter as they get bigger and bigger and bigger, could they have gone to the Biden administration and said, you know, we're going to have a

Starting point is 00:56:40 glut of eggs. Can you help us out on this? Can we pretend there's going to be bird flu? And can we have a response to that to be to kill 110 million chickens? And yet even when they did that, production only dipped 4%. Can you imagine if they hadn't killed 110 million chickens, what would have happened? Who knows? The relatively modest decrease in egg supply, even with 110 million chickens

Starting point is 00:57:06 killed, shouldn't have led to the exorbitant prices confronting consumers at the supermarket. Yet, egg producers have used the so-called bird flu as an opportunity to massively pad their profit margins. As Farm Actions Letter puts it, quote,ant egg producers, particularly CalMain foods, have leveraged the crisis to raise prices, to amass record profits, and to consolidate market power.� Now the Department of Justice is investigating CalMain for alleged price fixing, so we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. Maybe Pam Bondi will come after them. Don't keep your hopes up.

Starting point is 00:57:53 While big ag companies are ripping off consumers with one hand, they're taking taxpayer-funded bailouts with the other. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, while it's out there killing 110 million chickens, gave CalMain $22 million in bird flu relief last year, gave millions more to other major egg producers. Under an indemnity program, the department provides monetary relief to compensate farmers that destroy, when they destroy animals. But here's the deal, as we pointed out before, the small companies, they go in, they kill everything.

Starting point is 00:58:26 Everything. Not the sick birds. You'd get one PCR positive test, procedure, it's not a test, and you kill every bird in that area. Now, the big producers are not put out of business, but the small producers are put out of business with that. Even if they get paid for the birds, they're put out of business with that. Even if they get paid for the birds, they're put out of business.

Starting point is 00:58:47 So Brooke Rollins, he said, may adopt any regulations that she deems necessary. I have a problem with that, frankly. But this person doesn't at the Hill. So she could adopt any regulation that she thinks is necessary to carry out the department's bird flu compensation program. She could, accordingly, add mandatory fair pricing as a condition of payment for producers

Starting point is 00:59:11 receiving indemnity funds. So what this guy is saying is, you know, we're going to, let's keep paying them and then let's give them some strings and say, you know, when we do this, you can't engage in monopolistic price fixing okay so if we're going to give you some money you can't you know weaponize your monopoly that's pretty mild isn't it now what you have the monopoly and we'll give you the money but just don't weaponize it now this would be particularly appropriate he says given that the secretary recently made the program even more generous more just see brook rollins just doubled the rate of payment to the producers it's going the other

Starting point is 00:59:52 way yeah subsidies to these producers are up and the egg prices maybe went down a little bit compared to what no strings attached federal bailouts may even propagate bird flu by diminishing the incentives companies have to adopt safer, more biosecure production practices. In other words, the hill wants all the birds to be vaccinated. Yeah, that's what we really want to have. So stop giving them subsidies. Just tell them they've got to vaccinate all the birds. And you know, when we look at how funny this is, I always talk about the wild birds, right?

Starting point is 01:00:30 Why aren't the wild birds dying? As a matter of fact, the wild birds are not dying in Michigan. The wild geese are just exploding in population in spite of the bird flu epidemic. How could that be? You know, these chickens that are locked up in cages, stacked on top of each other. I wonder if any of them are sick, if it could be the conditions that they keep them in. So they have these birds concentrated, and they never get out, they never are able to walk or move, they're concentrated in these cages, you know, inside of a building.

Starting point is 01:01:10 And yet we've got to be worried about the fact that wild birds are going to get them sick, or the wild birds are going everywhere. They're going across the border into Mexico or Canada and all the rest of it. But you know, the wild birds are not falling out of the sky. As a matter of fact, the population of the wild birds is exploding. How could that be? If there's a bird flu epidemic, then we have to protect the chickens from the wild birds. So they said there is a growing geese population.

Starting point is 01:01:36 And it's so bad in Michigan, we're going to have to gas them to death. There we go. Got to give them the gas chamber. That's the only way, the only solution that we can have. So how does that happen when the USDA has to kill 110 million chickens? You know what they need to do? They need to call geesebusters. He knows what to do. You don't have to gas the geese. Gasbusters. They're also gasbusters. They don't want people to have natural gas. Natural gas is only to kill birds, right? Kill geese. You can't use it to eat your home, but they can kill as many geese as they want and it

Starting point is 01:02:14 will not cause any global warming as they do that. This is sounding very World War I. Are we going to start trench warfare with the geese next? Start shelling them back and forth? Yeah, I had an uncle who had been gassed in World War I and he was ancient when I was very young, but he, they had had to, it had caused some complications and he had to remove his voice box. It was the first time I made a big impression on me as a young child because he had this thing, he sounded like a Cylon, you know, the robot.

Starting point is 01:02:54 So he had this thing that he put up next to his throat and you could hear the vibration but it was really hard to make out what he was saying. But what made an even bigger impression was that he had a hole in his throat and he smoked cigarettes. Stick in the cigarette, not in his mouth, but in his throat. I mean it was something else. He was very, very old when I was very young. So Geese Buster says, hunting is driving geese into the cities. Well, there you go. There you go. Yeah, but the population is exploding.

Starting point is 01:03:34 And they're not dying, even if the population is not exploding, even if they're just being driven into the cities by the hunting, they're not dying. They're not dying. And the birds in the city, the pigeons, are not falling over dead either. So an overpopulation of geese, they said, golf courses, parks, lakes, lake associations, very people who hire geesebusters and should hire him, say they are a public health risk. Yeah, I think it really dirty. These decisions are being left to a handful of lakefront

Starting point is 01:04:02 homeowners who want the geese exterminated for convenience. Again, you know, 110 million chickens killed, but we we can't stop that. On Rumble, Sheila A. Oh, I did read that before. On Kik, Jay Hill, thank you very much. Gifted a subscription on Kik. Thank you so much. We're gonna take a quick break, and we'll be right back. The You're listening to The David Knight Show. And I wanted to thank the people who sent checks for the last week of April. Mary N, Michael T, Peter P, Arlene and Gregory R, Matthew H, Jack H, Phillip and Kelly M, Dale L, Imelda D, and David and Anne-Marie W. Thank you so much. Again, the program is supported primarily by voluntary contributions and we really do appreciate those contributions.

Starting point is 01:05:47 We thank everybody who keeps this program going and sending that in. If you want to find out how you can support the program, you can see that at davidknight.news and of course you can also see where the program goes up live stream as well as we put the archives up with video as well as with audio podcasts. You can find all that at davidknight.news. Well let's take a look at what we looked at to sycophants. Okay here's what happens when you're not a sycophant. If you're not a sycophant of Trump he will sick the government on you like a mad dog and that's what he's doing to Chris Krebs. The former head

Starting point is 01:06:27 of CISA, the cybersecurity agency, Trump put him in there and he hired him and now he has targeted him and quite frankly I've always opposed the cybersecurity agency, CISA. You know, it was CISPA for the longest time. They took the P out. They tried several times pushing it through and of course Europe had the similar things, SOPA, ACTA, PIPA. There was also CISPA. They took the P out. The P was for protection. They didn't want you to realize who they're really protecting. The purpose of this thing was not to protect you. The purpose was really to protect the companies that are turning over all the information

Starting point is 01:07:11 about you that they grab, turning it over to the government to make sure that they don't get, can't be sued. Okay? That's a big, big part of why CISA existed. And of course, Aaron Schwartz fought it, fought all these things and defeated all of them. They were able to pass this over his dead body. They charged him. It was a phony charge, silly charge. They charged him with accessing the data at some Harvard facility. They accused him of accessing the data. The people there, locally, state

Starting point is 01:07:48 and local people said, no, there's no crime here. The feds came in and the feds charged him and he was fighting them and he had fought them over and over. The guy was a fighter. He had been there several times. As I said, CISPA had been defeated several times. He was really leading the opposition to that. And so they came up with charges against him. And Carmine Ortiz was the federal attorney that they were grooming for higher office of governor or senator or something like that. And she was, you know, it came after him with something that was going to be like a 30 year jail sentence. But he was pretty defiant about it. And as I said, he'd been a fighter. And then he commits suicide,

Starting point is 01:08:38 quote unquote. And people said she drove him to suicide. Carmine Ortiz's husband put a social media post up and said she didn't do that. She offered him a plea bargain of 30 days and suspended sentence if he would go along with his stuff. And he refused that. And then her husband took that down. Her career was over though because Aaron Schwartz was a hero to a lot of people and whether or not they killed him or whether or not they drove him to suicide, it was still on her. It also came out that she had used the civil asset

Starting point is 01:09:15 forfeiture nonsense against a hotel in Massachusetts. She confiscated the entire hotel because over a period of 15 years they had three drug arrests there. And again, civil asset forfeitor, they didn't charge the hotel owners with any crimes. They said, well, we know that you're not involved in this, but your hotel was an accessory to some crimes. Three, as a matter of fact, over 15 years. So we're taking the hotel. She was evil incarnate. You know, when you look at the federal government, that's the way this thing is set up. So let's get back to Chris Krebs. This is a guy that Trump picked to run this agency that shouldn't exist.

Starting point is 01:09:57 CISA, Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency. And so now, you know, we had a proudly pull up Chris Krabbe and there was another person and he said, ìI am signing this executive order for the Department of Justice to investigate these individuals. And I played that for you because I think that is pretty significant. That is like Joseph Stalin. Bring me the man, I'll find the crime. He didn't say, this guy committed a crime.

Starting point is 01:10:29 He said, he was very unfair to us during the election. He didn't go along with the idea that the election was stolen. The head of SISA didn't go along with that. And so Trump issued the executive order to target Krebs because he said that Krebs had defended the integrity of the 2020 election that he was trying to undermine. The directive instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to suspend security clearance held by Krebs and people working at entities associated with him, including at the cybersecurity company where he now works, and also to investigate

Starting point is 01:11:11 them to see if they could find a crime. Sisa, here's the crime. This is the crime. And now they're going to see if they can find a crime to lock him up with. But they're going to punish him. First of all, this global entry traveler program, they had that revoked from him. And what is that? Well, it's one of these pre-scan things. If you're traveling internationally or whatever, because they have become such a pain, you can pay a membership, it's like $'s like a hundred or two hundred dollars or something to get into this thing.

Starting point is 01:11:46 And then for a certain number, they investigate you thoroughly and they give you a special pass so that you can get away from some of this TSA harassment when you travel. And so he was in that program, he had paid to be in that program. And so they canceled him out of the global entry traveler program. And what was his crime? His real crime? We're going to see if we can find some other crimes to lock this guy up and really punish him for what he did because what he did was CISA had released a joint statement days after

Starting point is 01:12:16 the November 3rd, 2020 election saying that it was the quote, most secure in election in American history, quote, no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. Oh, we got to get him. Got to get him. Got to punish him for doing something like that. And as I've said over and over again, over again, the idea that was being sold by this stuff was a horrific grift.

Starting point is 01:12:51 It resulted in the Stop the Steal stuff that Alex Jones was doing, made tens of millions of dollars that Trump did, made hundreds of millions of dollars. He made over $250 million off the Save America thing, right? And then through their very supporters who were giving them money, through them under the bus, January the 6th, leading them into a situation that was nothing other than pure entrapment. Two days after that November the 3rd election on a Thursday, you had Steve Pacenek, I'm just going to play you a short thing about this. Here he is talking about

Starting point is 01:13:26 the the election and how it wasn't stolen and yet this became the basis for stop the steal. Steve Pacenek was saying it wasn't stolen. It was a sting. We knew all this stuff and we had we had the ballots printed up specially and we've already are out there arresting people. This is really a sting operation Contrary to what everybody else said Trump knew this was happening Eric knew this was happening and warned the public. I knew this was happening However, I could not say anything about it What happened was we marked watermarked every ballot with what's called the QFS

Starting point is 01:14:07 block chain encryption code. In other words, we Everybody this is a lie. Where every ballot is where it's silly and who has impossible. This is not a stone election. And let me tell you that 48 hours ago, not only did we put markers on those ballots, but I can say now, with the permission of people in the intelligence community and elsewhere, that we have sent out thousands and thousands of national guards to 12 different states, Washington, Delaware, Texas, Arizona, Alabama, and everywhere. What was not announced was that we watermarked all the ballots with what I said at QFS

Starting point is 01:14:49 blockchain which is a very hard encryption code to break and the second thing is we sent is I probably 20,000 or more National guards 48 hours ago. None of it was reported and I thank the press for not reporting it and others. Well I love you Steve, I'd kiss you on the lips right now if it wasn't digitally. But uh. And there's too many people watching us. We're open like that, we're tolerant.

Starting point is 01:15:14 But Steve, following your logic here. Yeah, Blair White. Arrests inevitably coming down the road. Yeah, they're coming not just down the road, they're being implemented. What you saw Corey Wendowski and Pam Beyondy saying when they were in Clay County and as well in Philadelphia, that was not just a threat. That was exactly what's going to happen. People will be arrested as of tonight, tomorrow, and it will go on for quite a while. And this was a total sting operation that I can say. So explain anybody else. I have the permission to say it. I do not deal with classified information.

Starting point is 01:15:54 As you know, I do not work for our government, but because I'm loyal to the Republic and I work with a lot of people who are loyal to this republic, including the 16 intelligence services, the Secret Service, our civilian service. They've all been great and they've kept it quiet. And I've been given the permission to say what I just said. I have nothing more to say, but this is not a surprise here. This is the biggest sting operation probably in our country that we've ever had. Well, and it would be the genius of Trump. Yeah, it would be the genius of Trump, wouldn't it? That 4D chess master. And it was the biggest

Starting point is 01:16:38 sting operation you ever saw against their own supporters. I tell you, I started by talking about this guy, Scott Jennings, the cynical lies that he will tell to influence and to propagandize and to push people. That right there. Anybody that was a part of that, and it's not just Steve Pacenek and Alex Jones and Owen, it's also people like Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Schaeffer jumped onto that bandwagon. He had Steve Quayle jumped onto that bandwagon. He said, �Yeah, yeah, we know this is true. Yeah, we've got sources and intelligence that are telling us this as well.� And there was some guy in England, I don't even remember his name, I'd never seen him

Starting point is 01:17:21 before. Folks don't trust those people, don't listen to them, don't pay any attention to what they understand that they are deceivers and liars out there, just like Scott Jennings who is doing that about something that was a lot less important. Well Sherry Redstone has asked CBS to stop doing sensitive stories about Trump until she can sell her shares. There we go. Cow-tow it to him, okay?

Starting point is 01:17:55 Because he's going to weaponize the FCC against them. It's not just his frivolous lawsuit that isn't going to go anywhere. But the lawsuit would impact her, even if it's not settled, just the fact that it is there would impact her. We don't want the media saying anything that's going to offend Trump. I mean, look what he did to Chris Grabs. Look what he's going to do to us. He's now got some action going against the New York Times. Anybody that criticizes him, he's going to shut it down. And if anybody

Starting point is 01:18:25 criticizes the people he works for, like the Israeli government, he will try to shut them down as well. And we had an interesting thing that happened with this Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. This is the act that they put together to criminalize the criticism of Israel on college campuses, essentially. You allow people to criticize and have an opinion on politics that involve Israel? Well then we are going to remove all the massive subsidies that we give to you. I mean, again, what was it, 400 million for, what was it? Was that Princeton, I think? 9 billion with a B? 9 billion with a B for Harvard? See, I don't want my money going to them regardless

Starting point is 01:19:13 of what their political opinions are. But they're fine. Sending them the money, sending them even more money. This is not about Doge or balancing the budget for Trump. He doesn't care about any of this stuff. He wanted to take off the debt ceiling for another two years. They don't care about the money that's being spent They want to use it for political control. They will punish their enemies with it and they will reward their friends They'll bribe you they'll blackmail you with the money that they can print on their magic Money machine so the anti-semit Awareness Act got pushback from the Democrats and from Rand Paul and because of that they temporarily suspended it.

Starting point is 01:19:53 Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, two guys that I 100% disagree with. I mean Ed Markey has been one of the most deceptive people in terms of the climate change stuff. He was there doing a dog and pony thing with Lisa Jackson, Obama's EPA head. They had this pre-arranged little script, and you could tell because he said some of her lines in advance. Oops, wait a minute, that's your line. And, you know, they're trying to sell everybody on the fact that we had to ban diesel engines

Starting point is 01:20:27 and things like that, right? He was only a congressman at that point in time, but he did his job for the vested interest and they promoted him now. He's a senator. Bernie Sanders, we know about. Don't need to explain anything about him. Rand Paul also jumped in with them. Senators on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee postponed a final vote on advancing the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. Again, it's

Starting point is 01:20:50 the education part of that because we're talking about these using the money as a weapon after they approved four amendments that could jeopardize GOP support for the bill and leave the future passage once again in question. Now listen, the guy who is the committee's chair is Senator Bill Cassidy. Again, this is health, education, labor, and pensions. Bill Cassidy was the one who was chairing all of these hearings about who was going to be in HHS and FDA and CDC and all the rest of this stuff. And he's this former physician who is a vaccine whore.

Starting point is 01:21:31 He's completely subservient to the vaccine industry. He doesn't want anybody investigating autism. Let's not talk about autism. Let's not investigate it. Let's not talk about treatment for it. I don't see anything. I'm not looking, stop it, let's not talk about treatment for it, I don't see anything, I'm not looking, stop it."

Starting point is 01:21:46 Right? That guy, Bill Cassidy, a Republican, he's also a major proponent of shutting down free speech. Well, that figures. I mean, if he's not going to give you informed consent about vaccines, right? I mean, he doesn't want you to hear anything about vaccines. So he wants to censor speech. And let's apply it to other things as well, because if he censors your speech for the pharmaceutical industry paying him, he can also censor your

Starting point is 01:22:16 speech for the Israelis who are paying him. And so he's a major proponent of this censorship legislation. He told a Jewish insider after the meeting that he needed to postpone the vote because Republicans couldn't return to the committee room quickly enough to vote for it, with just minutes remaining before a two-hour cutoff to the meeting. Democrats refused to request to waive the two-hour limit. That's one of these things like the Federal Reserve Act when they come in and do it after people have gone home for the Christmas holidays, you know. Anyway, Cassidy said, they don't care if Jewish students are harassed on college campuses.

Starting point is 01:22:54 Well, you know, Cassidy doesn't care if children are dying from vaccines with sudden infant death syndrome. He doesn't care if they're getting autism. He doesn't want to look. He doesn't want you to look. He doesn't want you to hear anything. And he won't allow anybody who does want to look to have office. So he absolutely hates free speech. Well, we don't want Jewish kids harassed on college campuses. Well, I don't either. But, you know, I don't want to see the First Amendment go away. This guy is for sale, Cassidy.

Starting point is 01:23:30 Cassidy opposed all the approved amendments. Listen to some of the amendments that are there. This is what he's opposed to. Bernie Sanders said it's not any Semitic to use free speech rights to oppose the devastation of Gaza, as he put it. And he laid out a series of specific objections to the war as well as criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu. And so here are the amendments. One of them, that was led by Ed Markey, and again, I don't support this climate shill,

Starting point is 01:24:01 but he got this right. It would have opposed all revocations of visas, detentions, and deportations of students and faculty based on quote, protected conduct under the First Amendment. All the Democrats and Senator Paul voted for that. A third one, also led by Sanders, states that the legislation protects rights to distribute written material on campus or online, to carry out protests and adherence to schools' time, place and manner restrictions. In other words, they're going to tell you where you can speak. They'll give you permission to go out and speak.

Starting point is 01:24:39 And if you go out and speak in the areas and at the times that they tell you that you can speak in the free speech zones, the time zones, the physical zones, well times that they tell you that you can speak into the free speech zones, the time zones, the physical zones, well then we'll allow you to speak. Well no, they don't even want that. And to engage in quote any speech that does not include true threats or incitement of violence, including such speech as communicated through guest speakers, materials used in a classroom or online, or classroom discussions or debates. Now why would you object to that?

Starting point is 01:25:11 So all the Democrats, Senator Paul and Senator Susan Collins, voted in favor of that. A fourth one by Sanders stated that no entry of the federal government can, no entity, I'm sorry, of the federal government can enforce a policy that would compel an educational institution to quote violate the rights of a student, faculty or staff member under the First Amendment. And so all Democrats as well as Paul and Collins voted in favor of that. Now here's the interesting thing now. All the Democrats, Paul and Collins, didn't care if you violated the rights of people with vaccine mandates, did they? Well, Paul might have opposed that. But they didn't care about the rest of the stuff, the lockdowns, the masks, and all the rest of this.

Starting point is 01:25:59 I mean, Paul's objection to Fauci was, Dr. Fauci, you're going to make people vaccine hesitant. objection to Fauci was, Dr. Fauci, you're going to make people vaccine hesitant. You're so over the top. Well, APEC threw a fit over the bill getting undermined, says Information Liberation. The original Antisemitism Awareness Act is a key step in the effort to fight antisemitism and anti-Israel hatred on campus, they said. The amended version has significantly undermined the purpose of this legislation. The purpose is to punish people's speech. That's what it is. And so they said let's be clear these amendments are a disgrace. They don't just weaken the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, they mock it. It should be mocked.

Starting point is 01:26:44 Because it is a mockery of the Constitution or the First Amendment, our Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, they mock it. It should be mocked. Because it is a mockery of the Constitution of the First Amendment, our basic human rights that don't come to us from the First Amendment. But they're there because we are human beings. We have dignity and we have freedom. Let's be clear, says Information Liberation, trying to abolish the First Amendment to protect Jews and Israel from criticism while the Jewish state is committing genocide in Gaza is a disgrace.

Starting point is 01:27:11 Every lawmaker who backed this disgraceful piece of legislation put loyalty to Israel above loyalty to America�above loyalty to the Constitution they swore to uphold, folks�and they should count their blessings that they're not being brought up on trial. Yeah, we should give the Jonathan Pollard Trader Award to some of these people. You can have a little thing that has a noose on it or something, since you're a traitor for another country. But a little statuette of that. Polls show that most Americans now oppose Israel. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's popularity has imploded, and the Israel lobby is plotting for the next U.S. aid package to span 25 years, rather than the usual 10 years, in order to

Starting point is 01:28:04 quote, insulate the relationship against future U.S. political vagaries and uncertainties. It's a pushback against what they're doing. Has AIPAC and Bibi gone too far with this? The Israeli not-lobby knows support for the Jewish state and Congress is on shaky ground, and they're panicked that the scam they've been running for decades could at any moment abruptly come to an end. That's why they're spending millions of dollars on small house races and why they're threatening unlimited spending to get Thomas Massie out of the house.

Starting point is 01:28:37 Trying to undermine the First Amendment by making criticism of Jews and Israel illegal was a key part of their plan. And I think it's backfiring. I think it's part of what is backfiring. And he has a clip here from the Jerusalem Post, an op-ed piece that was written, February of last year, which said, anti-Semitism must be criminalized before it's too late. Oh, well, that's criminalizing speech. speech and it is not anti-Semitism to criticize the war policy of a foreign government. That is such an obvious, obvious lie. The End I'm sorry. Analyzing the globalist's next move.

Starting point is 01:30:30 And now, The David Nutshell. Well welcome back on kick. SoloCat1980 says those wild birds are bringing in the fentanyl. There we go. It's a unified theory, right? Einstein is always looking for a unified field theory. I guess we could have a unified fear theory. We could pull in all this stuff.

Starting point is 01:30:58 COVID, bird flu, climate change, just unified fear from the uni party. On Kik, a Syrian girl says they kept those National Guard invasions so secret that even today, five years later, no one has ever heard of it. Yeah, yeah, 20,000 troops everywhere and I want to thank the media for keeping this a secret. Yeah, yeah and thank you to Alex Jones for allowing this kind of nonsense to be promoted incessantly. I mean, that wasn't the last time that he had him on. He had him on over and over and over again. Because I pushed back on him, he towards, I guess, later in the spring, months after

Starting point is 01:31:38 Trump had left, he said to Steve Pacenekik. He says you want David Knight's job You know, they acknowledge that they fired me for opposing Steve Pachynik Anyway on kick octo spook says I support the only Democratic outpost in the Middle East and a place that Americans can actually live in Relative safety. What would that be? I Don't know what you're talking about here. I think you're talking about Israel. I don't know what you're talking about here. I think you're talking about Israel. I don't share that position. There's a lot of people there who, and quite frankly, there's more Christian Zionists than there are Jewish Zionists in terms of absolute numbers.

Starting point is 01:32:16 There's a lot of people in Israel who don't support Netanyahu. And quite frankly, I don't care if it's democracy or not. You know the whole thing about, that Benjamin Franklin said about democracy being two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner? That's your Israeli democracy for you there. That's what that's about. It's two wolves and the sheep that is still alive in Gaza and the wolves deciding how they're going to kill that sheep and take his land. That's what it's about. That's their democracy. So much

Starting point is 01:32:49 for democracy. I don't give a flip about democracy. I care. America's not a democracy. America is a republic that is supposed to acknowledge that our rights don't come from God and that they can't be taken away by a bloodthirsty mob or a bloodthirsty politician who's willing to kill anybody that gets in their way. Let's take a look at the Supreme Court case that is about charter schools. This is an op-ed piece that was written by Dr. Phil on the New York Post. And he got a lot of things right. And I think it's interesting

Starting point is 01:33:25 he made a couple of good points here. Of course, he's also quoting Mike Lee who's made some good points about the Constitution, what has happened to it. He says, �Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.� He says, �Well, that's pretty clear. We know what Congress is and we know what a law is and we know what religion is. Let's just start with a plain English language of this, right? And always think about the fact that the First Amendment is a prohibition of Congress, and that's his point. And we should stress that. I've said that in the past, but we should really stress it.

Starting point is 01:34:02 I've said many times that after the Bill of Rights was added, for about another 50 years, you had established religion in Massachusetts. They were the last ones to get rid of a state-established religion. And it continued as well in Connecticut, I think it was. It was one of those small New England states, Connecticut or Delaware, I think it was Connecticut, for about 40 years after that. And when you look at the letter to the Danbury Baptists from Thomas Jefferson that the Supreme Court used to suppress the free exercise of religion, he talked about the wall of separation, what Jefferson was saying, don't worry, we're not going, there were Danbury Baptists and you know as a that was one of the states where the Baptist Church was the the established church. He said

Starting point is 01:34:50 don't worry about it. You know there's a wall protecting you from the federal government and that's the First Amendment. We're not going to interfere with what you're doing there. You can do whatever you want. And so he says so too often people have interpreted this to mean that the government and religion must be completely separate which is not the intention. Again, this law applied to, as he points out, Congress. And it was there to keep Congress from interfering with all of these other states. Each of them pretty much had, at one point in time when they were established, they all

Starting point is 01:35:23 had established religions. And by that, I meant that you were sometimes forced to attend, but you were always forced to pay, kind of like the religious seminaries of Satan that we call government schools. You were always required to pay, and in the past we had been required to attend those seminaries of Satan. Laws that require office holders to be Christian were something that continued throughout, you know, for another more than a century. So there were a lot of state laws that required anybody who had an office, they had to be

Starting point is 01:36:00 a Christian, and then they started to get watered down. It's like, okay, we just got to believe in God. And then by the time we got to the middle of the 20th century, the Supreme Court said, no, you can't exercise your religion at all if you work for the government. You've got to keep it quiet. Put it in the closet. Shut up about it. You don't show anybody anything. So no religion, said the Supreme Court by the time we got to the middle of the 20th century. So states, he says that the issued hem as he looks at it is whether or not the Supreme Court would say that states are once again free to enact religious policies that they believe best serve their citizens.

Starting point is 01:36:37 Well, the Constitution was never changed. What has changed our Supreme Court? Opinions. Opinions are not laws. Opinions don't trump the Constitution. And that's the key thing that we should look at here. And of course, because we have this idea that opinions by the Supreme Court are the law of the land, as we heard over and over again about Roe v. Wade, that's why we had over 60 million kids die, be murdered by Planned Parenthood and other abortionists because of that lie.

Starting point is 01:37:10 Again, Roe v. Wade was a case out of Texas, and the Texas governor should have said, well, you've made your decision. Let's see you enforce it. I'm under no compulsion to go with your definition of when life begins. I really don't care what your opinion is. And so the Establishment Clause's whole purpose, he says, was to protect states from federal action on matters of religion.

Starting point is 01:37:35 So why are we even talking to the Supreme Court about this? If states want to give money to religious charter schools, they have the authority under the Constitution. I think that's a very, very bad idea, and I've said that. But I just think that it's important to understand that they can do that if they want. They can establish a religion if they want. They can have requirements and did for over a century to say that you have to be a Christian of some sort.

Starting point is 01:38:05 Again, it was an arbitrary definition, and even if you don't like it, they had the authority under the Constitution to be able to do that. The most respected justice of his time, Joseph's story, wrote in 1833 that the establishment clause's real object was to quote, prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment by leaving quote, the whole power over the subject of religion exclusively to the state governments. That's exactly right. And that's what Jefferson was saying when he wrote that letter to the Danbury Baptist, which the Supreme Court and all these leftists, which the Supreme Court and all these leftists since then have taken out completely out of context and have taken out the free exercise of religion out of the Constitution.

Starting point is 01:38:54 Never mind the Establishment Clause did not create a right in any individual, but rather protected the state's rights. Let's understand that the Constitution doesn't grant us rights. That would be a privilege then, not a right. If we go back to the Declaration of Independence, we get our rights because we are created by God. It is based on our humanity that we have natural rights, we have God-given rights. And I think it is also misnomer to talk about states' rights. States don't have rights either, and corporations don't have rights either.

Starting point is 01:39:29 Those are artificial constructs. Corporations have privileges that are granted by the government because the corporations are creatures of the government. The states have powers, and that's the way it is talked about in the 10th Amendment. They don't talk about states' rights. They talk about states' powers and people's powers that are not delegated to the, explicitly delegated or reserved to the people. As Senator Mike Lee points out in his book, Our Lost Constitution, the willful subversion

Starting point is 01:40:03 of America's founding document. He says, the irony is that we've used the Establishment Clause's language, which was designed to protect state laws on religion. We've used that as a weapon to nullify those same state laws. And what have we seen over and over again? We see that as a recurring pattern of inverting and perverting the Constitution, doing exactly the opposite. Just take the FISA Court, for example, all of it.

Starting point is 01:40:33 They used the FISA Court because they said the reason they had the hearings, the church hearings and the Pike hearings, they said the CIA and the NSA are spying on Americans and doing it without a warrant. Well, you're not going to do that, they said. You have to get a warrant if you're going to spy on Americans in America, or if you're going to spy on Americans in a foreign country, or if you're going to spy on a foreigner in America. Well, we need to be able to spy on people sometimes.

Starting point is 01:41:00 So give us a process where we can get a warrant. Okay, we'll create the FISA court, one judge, and then they use that, after they said, well, you can spy on everybody now. Mr. and Mrs. Verizon, I'll give you a search warrant for everybody that's got a Verizon account. And so, when they did that, that basically took FISA, which was supposed to restrict the CIA and the NSA, and they perverted it to use it as legal cover for them spying on everybody in America. And that's what they did with this inversion of the First Amendment as well. So as we're talking about education, again, the best thing I can say to you, and isn't it wonderful? And we should all be so thankful that we have the freedom to educate our own children.

Starting point is 01:41:52 I grew up without that freedom. I had to attend a school. I didn't like it. My parents didn't like it. We had to attend it. Now we have a situation where we don't have to attend it, but unfortunately we still have to pay for the waste of it. And we ought to thank God, thank God this week for the freedom to be able to educate

Starting point is 01:42:14 your own children. I thought about that when we started homeschooling our kids because being a part of the Libertarian Party, I was focused as I am on this show, look at all the different places where government is growing, it's metastasizing like a cancer, and it is intruding in every aspect of our life, and these mandates that they're putting on us about everything that we do in our life. And I looked at homeschooling and I thought, what's going on with that? How did this freedom to homeschool come out of nowhere? And honestly, folks, I have

Starting point is 01:42:49 always – once I thought about that, I thought, well, you know, almost all the people I know who are homeschooling are Christians. And they're doing this because they want to honor God and because they want their children to know God. And I said, you know, this is a blessing from God. God has said, He will honor. He will honor those who honor Him. I see the hand of God. And we should grasp that hand. You know, think of the Sistine Chapel, where God is reaching out in the hand of God. He anthropomorphizes him, turns him into an old man or whatever.

Starting point is 01:43:47 But he's reaching out to Adam and Adam is reaching to him. God is reaching out to you in your life. He's reaching out to you giving you the opportunity to raise your children in freedom. So many times we have homeschooling groups that say, �Yeah, but I want a government handout.� God has handed you what you need, and God will provide what you need. You just need to step up in faith. So here's a school

Starting point is 01:44:31 where it says what happens when the teachers are replaced with AI. This is from Newsweek. And so this is a charter school that is in Austin. They call it the Alpha School. And they're putting them up in various other places as well. And they talk about how they have integrated in this Alpha School, this has the hallmarks of some kind of a corporate approach to education, in this Alpha School they have integrated artificial intelligence.

Starting point is 01:45:07 So they utilize personalized artificial intelligence to teach an entire day of core academic lessons in just two hours. Folks, that's what homeschooling looks like. One of the big things that everybody would say about homeschooling is like, �We can get everything done in the morning. And then the kids have got the afternoon to explore their own interests, to get physically active, to do whatever it is that they want to do. They've got the freedom to do that.

Starting point is 01:45:34 It's not this regimented thing. The school day is too long as it is. They don't need to keep kids there all that time. And here's an example of this. Because we have focused on AI and we've got individualized instruction, these kids can get out of there in just a couple of hours. We can do that with homeschooling as well. And they said students then spend their afternoons working on non-academic critical life skills.

Starting point is 01:45:59 Maybe it's public speaking or financial literacy or maybe even how to ride a bike, or maybe even grow food. So again, you know, it is, they said their primary aim is to instill a love of learning into each young child. Education is not about filling a bucket. It's about lighting a fire. That is always the goal of anyone who is a teacher, a tutor, whatever. It's always about that, instilling a love of learning, instilling a love of literature.

Starting point is 01:46:34 You know, we started with Travis when he was young. We thought, well, you know, he's smart. We'll start teaching him how to read. And he didn't like it at all. He didn't like this didactic approach. So you know, up to the age of nine I would just read to them all the time because I want them to have a

Starting point is 01:46:50 love of literature And then he taught himself The personalized approach utilizes proprietary third party apps. It allows students to master topics up to five times faster than traditional methods of having somebody stand up in front of the class. You have a personalized approach. We don't have to have artificial intelligence to do this. They don't ever mention homeschooling in this article on Newsweek, of course.

Starting point is 01:47:29 It's all about AI. Because with AI, they can make money off of it. With AI, they can have centralized control. And what they're teaching the kids is a common core curriculum, if you read this thing further on. They don't want people to look at it from a homeschooling standpoint. You don't want AI folks, you want PI. Parental involvement. You don't even have to be intelligent as a parent. You're just there to guide them and to steer them. They said we all work on computers, not all school work on

Starting point is 01:48:00 computers and this is what is very special about this school. Maybe all the other schools elsewhere can work on computers," said one of the kids when asked about it. Well, Trump signed an executive order to integrate AI into K-12 classrooms nationwide. Beware of government money. Beware of government agendas, beware of shiny new bells and whistles and fads that are going to be put out there by our education. Old is gold, folks.

Starting point is 01:48:34 Look at the tried and true methods. Look at the older books that actually have character building in them. That's what you want to focus on. It's been tested. It's been found to be true. I have nothing but contempt for all these educational fads. I've seen so many of them come and go. It's just... Trump's order also creates a presidential artificial intelligence challenge, a competition for students and teachers to showcase their AI skills. It's not about AI

Starting point is 01:49:14 skills. They're not learning to create large language models. They're just using this. And this is one of the things I remember when Karen was getting involved in education. Personal computers were coming out and everybody thought, oh I'm gonna be so smart if I get my hands on a computer. If I can type on a computer, I'm smart now. Okay. Yeah, you don't know anything about programming it or what. So you know, we got a computer for her and she would, you know, show the kids how to do flow charting and stuff like that. But the other kids, it's like, oh well, I'm using a computer. That's smart. No, it's not. I'm using artificial intelligence. That's going to make you even dumber. It's going to be atrophy for your brain. So they said, this stresses the need for educators to fully embrace artificial intelligence.

Starting point is 01:50:10 Trust. Trust is the plan. You've got to trust the AI. R.F.K. Jr., I'm here to restore people's trust in Big Pharma, the big pharmaceutical companies and these institutions that work with them. You know, Tulsi Gabbard, I'm here to restore people's trust in the intelligence agency and artificial intelligence is there to restore people's trust in the educational bureaucracy, isn't it? Fox News said in

Starting point is 01:50:35 March that the Alpha classes were in the top 2% of test scores in the country. Well maybe it's because they're teaching to the test, you think? Maybe that's it. They said they're aligned with Common Core Standards. Oh, okay. Well, you know, I can guarantee you that if we had tested our kids on Common Core Standards, that they would not have given the desired answers because Karen and I would always go down to the Barnes and Noble book and there was always this series of books, you know, what your six-year-old needs to know, what your seven-year-old needs to know, that type of thing. And so we'd look at it and we'd look at what the

Starting point is 01:51:17 you know, scope and sequence of the educational stuff was and we'd say we're not teaching that. Well, that's so bad, I'm gonna teach against that, you know. We'd do not teaching that. Well, that's so bad, I'm going to teach against that, you know? We do things like that. We would not follow that stuff. Well, AI is going to drill these kids on the tests. The AI is going to know what the tests are. You're going to drill them on it, and you're going to, because you regurgitate the answers that they want to hear. Oh, wow, you're doing great. Now, you need to think critically about this. And I don't think people... I think that's

Starting point is 01:51:48 one of the biggest problems with AI. I think it's going to smother critical thinking. It's going to be out there as an accepted expert. That's Fauci in a box, folks. So, this woman that I interviewed featured in the story on Newsweek launched the framework for Alpha in Austin. She is, and again this Alpha thing is a national chain or something. She's a mother of two. She said her zoned school district could meet the needs of her daughters, particularly regarding personalized attention, despite being one of the top districts in Texas. Personalized attention. That would also be parental involvement. The teacher, she said, in front of the classroom model is required to teach a certain curriculum. Her daughters particularly suffered in second grade.

Starting point is 01:52:38 She said, she looked at me and said school is so boring. She said in two and a half years they had taken a child who was tailor-made to love school and to be curious and interested and they wiped away all passion. And I realized that it wasn't about the teachers or that school or moving from a public to a private school. It was this model of having a teacher in front of the classroom that wasn't working and look a lot of home schoolers who try to do that because that's what they had known. You don't do that. Again, you work with your child. And we were not concerned about curriculum. That's

Starting point is 01:53:14 fine if you are. I mean, a lot of people that have a very rigid curriculum, very academically intense curriculum, and you know, you have the – I'm trying to think of it, the Trivium, and it is – I forget what they call that now. But anyway, they – you know, there's some people out there teaching their kids Greek and Latin and all kinds of – we did some Greek and Latin roots, but we didn't worry about getting them to speak Greek or Latin. Because, you know, if you look at – it just just helps to build your vocabulary if you understand. Typically, our English words are built up from Greek and Latin roots, and so that's what we focused on that time.

Starting point is 01:53:55 But again, you know, you're free to do what you want to, and that's what we ought to thank God for. But there's no mention of homeschooling in this article. If they're going to be spending five days a week, the majority of the year, for 13 years, in a place, this person says they should love it. Well, if they're going to be spending five days a week, the majority of the year, for 13 years in a place, you better know what's going on in that place. And people didn't know about most of this stuff, or they would deny it when you would tell them, oh that's not happening in my state, that's not happening in my school district, that's not happening in my school, that's maybe even

Starting point is 01:54:34 it's happening in the school with some other class, not happening in my kids classroom because that teacher is great. And then they saw with the lockdown, they saw what it was really happening. It really was happening in their own classroom. And so a lot of people got out of it. You should know what is going on with your kids. Do you really want? Why do you think we have kids the way they are?

Starting point is 01:54:58 Because people have used these institutions to house their kids the majority of the year, the majority of the day, for 13 years, five days a week. They have their way with your kid. And we can see what it is produced in this country, can't we? Kids can learn twice as fast in only a couple hours a day by getting this one-on-one mastery based tutoring experience that we called homeschooling. Not AI. Not AI. Well it is on Rumble we have Laura Barr says, thank you David for passion on the subject of homeschooling.�

Starting point is 01:55:47 And I�m passionate about it. I�m passionate to push it and oppose it before any of this DEI stuff started, before any of this satanic grooming of kids. What an abomination these places have become. Just predatory, predatory. And you could see that they weren't learning anything. You could see that they were being intimidated, manipulated. You know, when Karen was getting her master's degree and you know the B.F. Skinner thing, Beyond Freedom and Dignity, I said that's abhorrent. That's the mindset of the schools. We're not going to put our kids in that. And now look at what has become.

Starting point is 01:56:27 They're pushing racism and hatred and this demonic obsession with sex. And they're gaslighting people, kids, to harm themselves, to mutilate themselves, to sterilize themselves. You know, I played earlier this week. That mom and her daughter, and her daughter, you know, started getting really dark. She homeschooled her, then the parents got a divorce. I can't handle it. She put her in school. They start grooming her into this. She gets very depressed, very suicidal. Again, they say, well, you know, we got to teach this trans stuff or the kids will commit

Starting point is 01:57:04 suicide. No, they're the ones who are know, we've got to teach this trans stuff or the kids will commit suicide. No, they're the ones who are pushing them to this. It's that whole thing that's pushing them to it. And then she started cutting herself? I mean, really, it's satanic. On rumble, Mama C. 1996 says, amen, brother. I raised three kids, homeschooled them, sent them out after preparing them for the world. Yes, good.

Starting point is 01:57:29 All serve the Lord, all are employed, all are nice people to be around, and you have a relationship with them. They didn't poison that relationship with them either. Well, we're going to take a quick break. Gerald Salenti is ready, and I'm ready to talk to him. It's been a couple of weeks so and the times that we're living in a lot of stuff happens in just a couple of weeks. So we're going to take a quick bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

Starting point is 01:58:08 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

Starting point is 01:58:24 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Joining us now is Gerald Salenti of TransJournal.com. Always great to have Gerald there. And look, folks, you can go to TransJournal.com. You can see a sample of what it is about, and it is an excellent news magazine, hundreds of pages.

Starting point is 01:58:59 You can get it in an online format, so it's searchable, but it's really nice the way they have set this thing up and it is a great great value especially if you get the 10% off with the code night as Gerald has pointed out it's less for the week then you're going to pay for a day with things like the Wall Street Journal which are getting more and more fluffy as we speak it's all pictures and all the rest of the stuff. You know Gerald this week I talked about Breitbart and how they had literally 71, you know, I, I print the article up as a PDF, right? Put it in my thing here.

Starting point is 01:59:32 They had 71 pages and I had to delete a picture of Melania Trump. It was like a fashion show for Melania Trump talking about her $37,000 purse and her $5,000 Burberry trench coat and all the rest of the stuff, it was amazing. But that's really what's happening with all these different publications. I mean, they're just going for fluff, aren't they? Not only that, they're prostitutes. Yeah. They're media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government whore masters. Breitbart is nothing more than a little boy's Trump club. Yeah, yeah. Well they want to be able to afford a $35,000 person themselves. It is

Starting point is 02:00:20 disgusting. Yeah, I agree. It's disgusting. I agree. All agree all these be oh I like Trump so I'll watch Fox I hate Trump I'll watch MSNBC yeah I mean that's the stupidity of the crap going on yeah there's no media anymore. There's no journalists pick up the New York slime, the Charlie paper record. Yeah. You ready? Yeah. And again, we didn't prepare to talk about this, but here it goes. They go as we don't, we just talk.

Starting point is 02:00:58 Yeah. This is Sunday's New York times. That's the York times. That's the business section. The business section. What are they selling? This is what you pay $6 on Sunday for. Wow.

Starting point is 02:01:17 Wow. Look at this stupid picture. And people say, Oh, Salenty calm down. down no I'm not calming down the world is going to crap we got crazy people in charge they're stealing our money they're slaughtering people all over the world and you want me to calm down as you swallow their crap oh yeah yeah I am so disgusted here. You can't make this crap up again. This is, this is the business section. This is why. Yeah. Look, look, look, that's the second page. There's all pictures too. Yep. Yeah. It's a picture book.

Starting point is 02:02:04 Third page is mostly pictures. It, wait, it gets better. It gets better. You know, you're ready? Uh-huh. You won't believe this. A two page spread of pictures. There we go. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:02:19 It's not only that's the cover story of the varsity influencers team. An effort at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aims to turn its student athletes into social media stars. Other schools are following suit. I used to live not too far from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I don't want those people influencing anybody. But this is the business section. What the hell does that have to do with business?

Starting point is 02:02:59 Journalism is dead. What we're giving people in the Trends Journal, you're not getting anywhere else in the world. Go to our YouTube, Gerald Salenti or Trends Journal and see the comments of people who get the magazine. They can't believe it. Yeah. They can't believe it. There's nothing like it. Journalism is dead. Yes. Finished. Yes Yeah, the Israel war going on at what they slaughter about 75 35 people every day every day Yeah, every day every day every day every day killing 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 hundred people every day Not a word Not a word in the toilet paper record, the New York slime.

Starting point is 02:03:49 Not a word in the Wall Street Journal. Go to CNN, the cartoon news network. Not a word. Not a word. And as civilians, you know, I mean, you look at it and right. So, you know, families, oh, in Trends Journal, over a thousand kids have gotten their arms and legs blown off. Oh, oh, this is terrible.

Starting point is 02:04:13 Can you imagine you were talking before it went on about your kids? Could you imagine your kids getting their arms and legs blown off? Oh, they'd be happy the rest of their lives. Yeah, you know, when you look at, there's a mass shooting at a school for example and you get you know five people killed. It's national headlines everywhere. And look I understand you know it is a tragedy. It is a tragedy.

Starting point is 02:04:36 But as you point out total silence when you have dozens of kids being killed on a daily basis and this goes on for year after year after year. This is targeted towards children. And that's what's so amazing about this and along with the silence that is there. It truly is insane. I know I've got more that I want to talk about with that, but let's talk about the economy first. Let's talk a little bit about what's going on because we had some changes in gold this week. China did a massive sell-off of gold at one point in time. How do you read that? What do you think is going on? Is that profit-taking? It's only part of it because here's an article

Starting point is 02:05:16 from the Financial Times yesterday, May 1st. Chinese investors pile into gold ETFs at record pace in Haven Hunt. Chinese investors are piling into gold funds at a record rate as President Donald Trump's trade war and fears of a US recession and inflation drive a hunt for safe haven assets. Inflows into gold exchange traded funds in China. You ready? Totaled 70 tons in April, more than double the previous monthly record, according to the world gold council. So yeah, there's ups and downs in it.

Starting point is 02:06:02 People try to make money, but the long term in this, again, I've been buying gold. I started buying gold in 1978. I forget it was either $163, $183 an ounce. Yeah, that's a good story right there. Well, you know, when you look at this, I'm sorry, go ahead. I've been following us for years. As you well know, the Trends Journal, we do top trends each year. Last year, we said it would be a golden year for gold.

Starting point is 02:06:34 The price of gold went up almost 30% last year, and it's gone up again. Never before in my lifetime have I seen such dangerous times ahead and that's why gold prices are going up. You have to look at not only the economic but the geopolitical issues that are going on. When you got the Ukraine war, there's no end in sight with it. Right. Right. And we're saying that Ukraine is going to do everything they can to keep this war going, and Europe is doing everything they can to keep the war going.

Starting point is 02:07:20 A little slimeball piece of crap. This guy Mertz, the new Heil Hitler of Germany. Yeah. Where is it? What was his last job? Hey, I was with Blackrock. Yeah, where that crime syndicate that buys up the world? You got it?

Starting point is 02:07:40 Headed by a Fink. Making that up. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway, a trillion dollars. They're spending a trillion dollars to rebuild, to build up their military and they say we're also going to put some of that money into infrastructure to stop the Russians. And borrowing the money to do that, I mean, that's very uncharacteristic of post-war

Starting point is 02:08:09 Germany as well, to go into debt as well as to build the military up. It's Fred Mertz, not the one from I Love Lucy. This is a guy from I Hate Peace, Fred Mertz. Yes. Yeah. And what you just said, not only that, Germany is

Starting point is 02:08:28 headed to three years of recession. They had two years of recession, 23-24, and now they're heading to a third year recession and they're borrowing all this money. We gotta stop the Russians. So yeah, let me get this straight.

Starting point is 02:08:44 Let me get this straight, you slimeball Mertz. Oh, Operation Barbarossa, World War II, when the Germans killed some 25 million Russians, when according to John F. Kennedy, at his speech to American University in June of 1963, when it was all about peace, he said, we should not hate the people in the Soviet Union. These people are very advanced scientifically, technologically. And no nation suffered more during World War II than the Soviet Union. This is his words. This is John F. Kennedy. He said they lost their farms, their factories, their homes, and their land, the equivalent of Chicago to the East Coast. We need peace with them. If we go to war against the Soviet Union, he said, and we have an atomic war, life on earth will be destroyed in 24 hours. That was 1963. Anyway, that was June, July, August, September, October, November. Jackie are dead.

Starting point is 02:10:09 They killed him. It was all about peace. They didn't want peace. Going back to this little clown boy Mertz and the reality, this slimeball saying Russia is a threat to Europe. All the Nordic countries, the UK, France, all building up their military, all sending more weapons to Ukraine, all ramping up the war. Now going back to gold.

Starting point is 02:10:44 And they're getting, let me interject, they're getting out of the landmine treaty, where 70% of the casualties from the landmines are civilians of that country that put out the landmines after the war is over. That's the way this is happening. And so you've got all these same countries that you're talking about there getting out of this landmine treaty that of course the US was never in along with Russia and China and North Korea all these warmongering countries they never entered the landmine thing but these

Starting point is 02:11:12 other countries the Scandinavian countries and things like that they they got out of that landmine treaty I mean they're really ramping everything up to kill everybody aren't they? I'm telling you this is why gold prices are going up yeah yeah and then then you take again They're gonna do everything they can to keep this war going as The economies are going down as I say when all else fails they take it a war what followed the Great Depression World War two What followed the dot-com bust the war on terror? They do this all the time. So now Iran, when the United States announced they were going to have talks with Iran to end their nuclear agreement or to redo it, we said this is a lot of Trump crap. They have absolutely no intention of

Starting point is 02:12:08 moving forward with Iran. This is a big lie. We said this, I said it on your show, I said it in the Trends Journal when it first began months ago. It was Trump that ended the nuclear agreement that was signed under Obama with Iran Back, I think was 2017 or 2018 UN nuclear inspectors were saying Iran is not developing nuclear weapons The nuclear development is for power plants, etc. Has nothing to do with it. The facts are all there. Trump ended it.

Starting point is 02:12:48 Trump ended it because he's a pro-Zionist Israeli puppet. Only by the facts. He got $100 million from Sheldon Adelson back then, moved the United States Embassy out of Tel Aviv into Jerusalem, told us Israel, hey, you know that land you stole in the Golden Heights? It's yours. That's Trump. Now let's move forward.

Starting point is 02:13:17 We said this, again, the wars are ramping up. And by the way, if the United States and Israel go to war against Iran, this is going to be the beginning of the end of life on earth. Because there's no way in the world that the United States or Israel could defeat Iran. To make it clear, that little fat mouth, arrogant little boy, the little fox puppet that's now the secretary of defense that loves to do push-ups, show us, show us, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that literally 800 sorties, what was it, over the, like the last month or something, right? Yep. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:14:13 And, and they're saying that you'll, now with the, with, with Iran, Trump has just put sanctions on Iran. Any country buying oil from Iran will be sanctioned by the United States. This is as they're doing negotiations. It just happened two days ago. Yeah, yeah. Good faith negotiations too, I'm sure. What? Good faith negotiations, I'm sure. Yeah, just to show their good faith. They the sanctions, which in and of itself is what we say, sanctions are an act of war. And I said that when we got locked down in 2020, I said, you know what they're doing? Our own

Starting point is 02:14:55 governments are putting sanctions on small mom and pop businesses and service businesses, which is what we got left. And I said it really is an act of war because it really is you lock down people you try to shut them down you build this is what they would always do in a siege you know around a fortified city or a castle or something like that's what a sanction is trying to cut them off from everything else. You're 100% right. Here this is from CNBC yesterday Trump says any country that buys oil from Iran will not be allowed to do business with the U.S. Quote, any country or person who buys, and this is all caps, any amount of oil or petrochemicals,

Starting point is 02:15:39 all in caps, from Iran will be subject to immediately secondary sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape or form said Trump on his social media. I love the name of his social truth social. How about BS social? How about arrogant, arrogant daddy's boy social. My daddy left us over a half a billion dollars worth of property. I'm a little spoiled daddy's boy with a bad attitude.

Starting point is 02:16:16 That's Trump. All right? Trump also initiated negotiations with Iran last month over its nuclear program. His administration, you ready, believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb. An allegation that Tehran has denied. Not only has Tehran denied it, all the nuclear inspectors say they're not doing it. Mm-hmm. I remember, how long ago was it that Netanyahu got harangued by The inspectors say they're not doing it. I remember, how long ago was it that Netanyahu got harangued by everybody because he went

Starting point is 02:16:49 to the UN and he was talking about how Iran was going to have a nuclear bomb within a couple of months or whatever. Remember he had like that Warner Brothers cartoon Acme bomb. It was like a bowling ball with a cylinder coming out of it and a fuse that was lit. Remember that? He had that up behind him and everybody was saying, can you believe the nonsense that he's putting in? And that was years and years ago. It might've been decades ago. I don't remember when that was, but you know, oh, they're going to have it within months. And we keep hearing

Starting point is 02:17:15 that, that they're going to have it within months. You mentioned Hegseth. This is the quote from Hegseth. He said on Wednesday, message to Iran. We see your lethal support to the Houthis. We know exactly what you're doing. You know very well what the US military is capable of and you were warned. You will pay the consequence, all uppercase, consequence at the time and place of our choosing. Wow. Wow. This is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, This is, this is, Hile Hitler. Yeah, oh I know. Yeah, and here's the other thing too. Okay, so think about this Gerald. Hegseth is saying, we see what you're doing. You're giving support to the Yemenis and they're able, with the stuff that you're giving them, they're able to shoot down 17 of these Reaper drones,

Starting point is 02:18:06 most of them within the last month. And so we see what you're doing, we're going to come after you. Okay, well what do you think that Iran's going to do if you attack their country? And yet, the reality is, is that Trump has gone on record as saying that the Yemenis, he said, nobody would think that they could do it. Here's what he had to say. He said, they're experts on missiles. I mean, they're actually making the missiles. Nobody thought that, but they make missiles and they're highly sophisticated because they're

Starting point is 02:18:31 taking down the Reaper drones. And so that might be a domestic thing. And yet, Hegseth is saying, well, I think it's coming from the Iranians and we're going to come after the Iranians. What an idiot then. Because as I've been saying- He's an arrogant little piece of crap. Yeah. This is asymmetric warfare taken into the air, air war. We've seen when we occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and things, they would come up with improvised asymmetric warfare to attack the troops as they're driving by in trucks or things like

Starting point is 02:19:00 that. They were even armored carriers. And so they would come up with roadside bombs and things like that. But now this asymmetric warfare has taken to the sky. We've got these sophisticated Reaper drones that are shooting down one after the other. Thirty million dollars a piece. That's the asymmetry. They could care less about how much it costs.

Starting point is 02:19:20 They just allow them money. Oh yeah. Well, it's kind of a feature for the military industrial complex. I mean if they get 30 million dollar drones shot down, no American pilots are dying, but hey it's another contract for their suppliers at Raytheon. They could kill us. Yeah, exactly. Well I mean you know just more wasteful. Now what we do with the Trends Journal is we go to all the media. So like the Israel war, before I go on to that, as I said, there are 91 million Iranian against what about 10 million Israelis, less than that when you take the Arab population out. The United States hasn't won a war since

Starting point is 02:20:01 World War II. They couldn't defeat Iraq. Longest war in American history, Afghanistan. They couldn't beat the Taliban. And I got this little fat, arrogant-mouthed little clown boy, Hegson, saying we're going to take out Iran? So what they're going to do, this is why I'm going back to gold prices and whether people are concerned. Israel, as you well know, has the Samson option. If we lose, Israel says they're going nuclear. They had between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads. Iran's not allowed to have any,

Starting point is 02:20:43 Israel could have, they're the chosen people, they could have them. What kind of arrogance is this crap? So anyway, what we do, again, that's why gold prices are going up to geopolitical and then we'll get to the economic. But to stay on this, as trend forecasters, we go to, we subscribe to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, we pay subscription. We go to Times of Israel, we go to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, we pay subscription. We go to Times of Israel, we go to Jerusalem Post, want to hear everything they're saying. We also go to IRNA, ISNA, Press TV, Tehran Times. We want to hear what the Iranians are saying. So we also go to Arab News, Middle East Monitor, Al Jazeera, want

Starting point is 02:21:28 to hear what the Arabs have to say. So this is from ISNA, the Iranian news agency, Wednesday. Iran finance minister, new US sanctions will have negative impact on talk progress. Iranians foreign minister Abbas, whatever his last name was, has criticized recent US sanctions amid ongoing indirect talks, warning that such, quote, provocative actions cast doubt on Washington's seriousness in the negotiations. Yeah. Yeah, obviously. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:22:16 I said it was a front from the beginning. They're setting the stage saying that we wanted to have peace talks with Iran, but they wanted no part of them. Yeah. Netanyahu, the maniac murderer, arrogant lying scum, may he rot in hell, is going to ramp up this war. They are bombing and killing people, Israel, in Syria,

Starting point is 02:22:56 in Lebanon, in the West Bank, and in Gaza. Every day. Hey, we're the chosen people. We could do anything we want. You know, by the way, when I say, you know, when I say that this has nothing to do with being anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic, save your crap, every day, you know, I have pictures in my place of all my aunts and uncles and I thank my friends that passed away that gave me so much. And some of the people I thank every day are Al Bolotin, Bert Feinsen, Mr. and Mrs. Singer, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenblatt, Herbie and Harold.

Starting point is 02:23:40 Herbie and Harold, I was a soda jerk. They used to call us soda jerks. I worked at a soda factory. Herbie and Harold, I was a soda jerk. They used to call soda jerks. I worked at a soda fountain. Herbie and Harold ran the place. They couldn't have been nicer to me. Mr. Mrs. Singer, Mr. Mrs. Rosenblatt, Albalon, Bert Fein, they couldn't be. All Jewish people.

Starting point is 02:23:57 I thank them every day. It has nothing to do with religions. Just like you don't hate all the German people under Hitler, all the Italians under Mussolini. But that's what's going on now because of what's going on with Israel. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I said that all the...

Starting point is 02:24:16 You know, when you look at American foreign policy, look at what our government has done. Look at what the CIA has done. It's like, you know, don't hate me because I happen to be an American, because I hate that policy, and I despise and oppose that government that does those things. And so we make a distinction between it. And as I said, you know, when you look at what they're doing with the colleges and other things like that, trying to blackmail them into censorship and deporting people and everything for writing op-ed pieces, I said, you know, that doesn't have anything to do with semitism or

Starting point is 02:24:45 religion or ethnicity or anything like that. It has to do with criticism of a foreign government that has taken over our politicians. And when you look at what these people are doing, I mean, it's amazing to see this guy Cassidy, who we just saw in all these hearings, setting in judgments and vetoing anybody that would talk about autism or vaccine issues and everything, because he completely sold out to Big Pharma. Well, he's completely sold out to the Israelis as well, and trying to push through this anti-Semitism awareness act nonsense. And he despises informed consent.

Starting point is 02:25:22 He despises the First Amendment as well. And he's completely for sale to these special interest groups. I said earlier in the program that I'd give him the award of the – what was the name of the guy? I mentioned it in the Israeli spy that they had – Jonathan Pollard. I said that I'd give them the Jonathan Pollard award over these people as traitors to this country. And that's really what these people like Cassidy are. They're betraying and subverting our own Constitution, our basic God-given

Starting point is 02:25:58 liberty of free speech, and doing it at the behest of a foreign government. I can't get any more traous than that. No, again, they're all boy. Look how many of them bought out by a pack. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah And look how way pack kills anybody that goes against them in terms of losing their elections Yes, again, look at that. Did you see that clip from that little arrogant? little arrogant piece of scum that no Coleman No, I didn't see that. Oh, you didn't see that. No, no. Coleman was a former senator from Minnesota. He said The masters of the universe are the Jews. You didn't see this. I didn't see that.

Starting point is 02:26:52 I've got one that I'll tell you that you probably didn't see. I saw Michelle Bachmann and she was on and she was saying, you know, we're seeing miracles all the time in Gaza coming up out of the rubble. She wasn't talking about people who'd survived the bombing. She was talking about the onward march of the kingdom. And it's like, you're not talking about the kingdom that I'm following. You know, Christ said, the kingdom of God is within you. And he said, it's not of this world. If it was of this world, my servants would fight. But that's what she's trying to portray this as. This is the march of God's kingdom

Starting point is 02:27:24 by killing and destroying civilians and children. It's amazing. But can you imagine the arrogance of this clown saying the masters of the universe are the Jews? Yeah. And then he goes on. That's the way a lot of Christians are acting. They replace Jesus with Israel.

Starting point is 02:27:40 They really do. They worship this political entity and they want to excuse war for them. But yeah, so he says the masters of the universe. Go ahead, what else did he say? Oh, he goes Zuckerberg. He starts naming them. The guy Google Bert, what's his name? The guy that was with, and anyway, he starts naming them. You, Zuckerberg, starts the masters of the universe. We're just pieces of crap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now if you point out, this is one of the things that would accuse people

Starting point is 02:28:14 of being anti-Semitic, if you point out these successful people that are Jewish, they would say, well, that's a trope and that's anti-Semitism, because when we look at these people like Zuckerberg and Bloomberg and all these other people do, there's some pretty bad guys and you're not supposed to notice that the bad guys are Jewish. This guy likes what they're doing, I guess, and so he calls them the masters of the universe. Masters of the universe are Jews. That's a quote. So I'm just a little guinea from the Bronx.

Starting point is 02:28:43 I'm a nobody. You're a nobody. How dare you say Master's of the Universe? Who the hell are you? Who the hell are you? That's where you belong in hell. Oh, Coleman, you changed your name. It was Goldman.

Starting point is 02:28:59 I forgot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's a rabbi that famously said within the last year, I forget the exact date that he came out with, he said, �The problem with you Christians is you're only worshipping one Jew. You should worship us all.� He said, �We're dying for your sins. We're fighting these orcs and gods or whatever.�

Starting point is 02:29:19 You know, that was his approach. He actually said that. You know, that's the attitude that is there. And that's what's going on. And I'm saying going back to gold, they are going to bomb Iran. Gonna expand it, yeah. And it's gonna hit oil, it's gonna hit everything, and then of course, just economic disaster, kinda like Trump's tariff stuff, it's going to be because, you know, we've got this, speaking of bombs, you know, we've got this slow moving bomb of the tariffs

Starting point is 02:29:53 because all of the massive stuff that he put on China, the 145% thing, that is kind of a slow boat from China that is getting here and that slow boat should be arriving in the next week or two, where we start to see all of the empty boats or the boats that aren't arriving I should say because they're not sending them. You know a lot of stuff is already in the pipeline, already on its way over. We're going to start seeing the effects of that in a couple of weeks. What do you think about that? Well what's going to happen is that people, again, in your magazine, the Trends Journal, there's been very,

Starting point is 02:30:26 the reason, remember we just saw the negative GDP in the United States, but that's hardly news anymore and markets are going up. People are buying more, they're buying cars, a lot of the companies are buying more products and the expectation of prices are gonna go up. So there's gonna be a false little boom. So it's not going to go down right away.

Starting point is 02:30:50 It'll probably go down in about three or four months because they're buying up. And by the way, before I forget, going back to Yemen, the Yemenis are bombing the ships that are going into Israel. And they say they'll stop doing this when they stop slaughtering the people in Gaza. There he did for the ceasefire, and then they stopped that, and then they started it back up again when Israel broke the ceasefire. What you just said, Israel broke the ceasefire, not a word of that in the mainstream media.

Starting point is 02:31:26 Not only did they break the ceasefire there, they broke it in Lebanon as well. They're wiping out entire neighborhoods of southern Lebanon. They're bombing Beirut. Here, UK joins US in a in air strikes on Yemen. All right. The UK. How about trying an FAU and a C in that UK? Yeah.

Starting point is 02:31:53 What are they doing over there? Yeah. Israel launches air strike warning in Syria. That's from the Financial Times yesterday. They're bombing anybody they want. They're going back to gold. Now you have with the sanctions, you look at China's GDP, look at China's manufacturing. It's going way down. The GDP hasn't gone down far yet, but the manufacturing is going way down. China has a crisis in the housing market.

Starting point is 02:32:34 They overbuilt when they got into the World Trade Organization back in 2001. With every boom, there's a bust, but they had three years of zero COVID policy. Yeah. There's three years of zero COVID policy. We even a hundred times worse than what was going on in America. They had cameras outside everywhere. Everything in China is digital. You don't pay with cash or anything. Everything's digital.

Starting point is 02:32:59 Their people were under total control by the government. Yeah. They destroyed their economy. Yeah. They already had that traffic light system. They'd already put in biometric identification and so, you know, they're watching, as you point out, they watch everything that everybody's doing and, you know, if you jaywalk, well, okay, we're going to not only fine you, but we're going to make sure that you're going to be punished in other ways. You're not going to be able to travel. You're not going to be able to travel.

Starting point is 02:33:25 You're not going to be able to do this. And the rest of the world is these globalists are using China really as a beta test site. So we can see this horrific stuff that is happening there. And they're just testing it to see how people react and to get the technology in place so they can do it to the rest of the world. So their economy is going down, all the global economies are going down and again Europe is ramping up for war as I said when all else fails they take you to war. It gets the people's mind off the economic problems. Yeah they're not allowing in Germany, they're not quite as far along this net zero nonsense

Starting point is 02:34:10 as the UK is. But in Germany they're shutting down reliable power plants, they're telling the car companies electric only and all the rest of the stuff now. Now with this massive deficit funding that the German government is doing, pouring money into the military industrial complex and of course they're going to tell them, oh yeah, make tanks and make planes and all the rest of the stuff. These things use infinitely more fuel and create their emissions and everything, infinitely more than any of the passenger cars would do.

Starting point is 02:34:44 But that's where they're going to steer everybody. So all of a sudden, you know, Volkswagen, which was shut down, now you gotta basically, you're not gonna be able to make any cars unless they're electric. Now they're gonna unleash Volkswagen to make gas guzzling tanks and planes and all the rest of this stuff. I mean, it's so phony. But the consistency is that the real objective, I believe, behind all this climate stuff, as well as the war, is depopulation. And so there is that criminal thread that runs through all of this stuff that

Starting point is 02:35:15 gives it a consistency. Whatever they do, it's about controlling and killing us. Again, look at the freaks running this show. Look at the little got some Macron over there in France. Look at the little jerk over there in the UK, Stama. We talked about the clown boy Mertz. You got Trump before you had Biden out of your mind, right in front of you. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:35:45 Then your face. It's a freak show. Yeah. Oh yeah. And go, this is important too. What the media is doing is they're saying that Germany and these other countries, by building up their military, that's going to build up their gross domestic product. That's not. When products are produced

Starting point is 02:36:06 that consumers buy, that's what brings up the economy. These products that are being produced, nobody's buying them. All the money's going into the pockets of the military industrial complex. It's kind of like the broken window fallacy, except what they're doing is they're creating the infrastructure to break windows, right, to destroy. It's an infrastructure that's being built to do destruction on a massive scale, and then they call that creative. So we see gold. Gold could easily go to $3,400, $3,500. There's no question, because this thing is going to get wilder and wilder.

Starting point is 02:36:48 Look, there's never been an administration like the Trump administration. The first hundred days, look at this freak show. Look at the things that he's doing. What you were talking about now, they still, and by the way, you know, cutting off all this money going to colleges why is a college like Trump like Harvard getting all our taxpayer money for these what are you giving them all our money to these colleges for oh absolutely yeah I've said that over and over again I I think is an absolute outrage that they're getting nine billion I thought it was bad when it was Princeton or Columbia Columbia I think it was bad when it was Princeton or Columbia. Columbia I think it was. It was getting four hundred million. Is that right? Four hundred million

Starting point is 02:37:27 dollars? Yeah, it was right. And then I see Harvard getting nine billion dollars. One of the richest institutions in this country. And of course it's the big guys who always get the money from the government, isn't it? As George Collins said, it's one big club and you ain't in it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know talking about the price of gold You know what you mentioned was very conservative. I saw one guy Probably the most aggressive Saying that ten thousand dollar gold and he said that because he thought of the supply chain issues that are going to happen

Starting point is 02:37:59 You know again, you know when you had all these I played this earlier in the show Again, you know when you had all these I played this earlier in the show Some you know the the big cabinet meeting that Trump had and how it began with everybody, you know Kissing his ring and oh, you're just the greatest person ever that Ruby was bragging about his stuff. He goes what I like about this administration He said always in the past They've had to do study and then a study on the study and then study the study and all the rest of now We just do everything right away." And he said, �And it�s going really fast, and it�s changing like every day, every

Starting point is 02:38:29 hour, every minute even,� he said. And I said, �Yeah, that�s the problem. It�s kind of like they don�t think about what they�re doing.� And so this tariff thing is just like this moving train wreck, and they�re reacting to the destruction that they�re doing, but the very fact that they're changing all the time, I think, is the most destructive thing about the terrorists. The fact that there's this uncertainty and nobody knows what to do or how to plan. And it's especially destructive to small businesses.

Starting point is 02:38:55 Do you think this is going to be the second phase of Trump's attack on small businesses to go ahead and finally wipe out most of them? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. to go ahead and finally wipe out most of them? I don't know, I don't know. But you know, the thing with Trump again, like you say, everything changes. And again, when he said, when I get into office,

Starting point is 02:39:15 I'm gonna put a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico. He gets into office, I'm gonna wait two weeks. Two weeks come, he puts them on three days later. He takes him off. Mm-hmm. It keep a and here's You vote for me. I'm gonna end that Ukraine war 24 hours Alright alright Hey, I mean I won the election. I'm gonna end that Ukraine war before I get into office all right yeah all right and nobody comes after this clown for lying lying spewing out his arrogant crap why how dare you come out against Trump I suck all up all his crap why don't you that's the attitude oh yeah we saw that this

Starting point is 02:40:06 week with the tattoo nonsense you know insisting that that was on there well let's talk about the US Ukraine deal okay now you know they say well yeah we got to have their rare earth minerals and then everybody kind of quietly pointed out some of people did well the areas where they got the rare earth minerals are under control of the Russians for the most part. And so now they've got this deal where there's kind of this profit sharing plan. I mean, to me it looks like just flat out crony capitalism and looting that's going on there, but I had somebody on last week that was part of a rare earth company here

Starting point is 02:40:43 in the US, and he was talking about it. Yeah, we've got to have our own rare earth company here in the US. And he was talking about it, yeah, we gotta have our own rare earth. I said, well, how long is it gonna take? For that, well, maybe about five years or whatever, that's what they're looking at. So what are we doing in the meantime, right? We gotta have this critical stuff and it isn't there.

Starting point is 02:40:56 He does a deal with Ukraine and of course, he's doing a deal for minerals that are there and they do have some minerals there, but it's not really the rare earth stuff that's there. But when you look at this deal it's a partnership and as I'm starting to look through what they have said it looks like a big crony capitalist pig trough that is there it looks like they're gonna rebuild the country looks like what Cheney was doing with Halliburton

Starting point is 02:41:20 and Iraq and all the rest of the stuff you know the feeders are gonna come in there and they're gonna have this 50-50 partnership and Iraq and all the rest of this stuff. You know, the feeders are going to come in there and they're going to have this 50-50 partnership for minerals and all this kind of stuff. So I mean, what do you think is going to happen with that? And do you think that's going to be enough to get peace or is it going to continue down this path of war? What do you think? It's going to continue the path of war.

Starting point is 02:41:42 What you said is exactly the truth. It's the bigs going in there, making more money stealing what they can and robbing less whatever they want. They can like that. You call them dick Cheney. You see that? I have to be proper because I don't want to get blacklisted. I call them penis Cheney cause I don't want to call them dick Cheney. But look at that little arrogant piece of scum that that guy was, is. And again, it's not going to make any difference in a peace talk with Russia. Here's the deal. Russia is not going to give back the 20% land that they've taken over.

Starting point is 02:42:30 Everybody talks about Crimea, but they never talk about, they had an election in Crimea. Crimea was part of Russia for centuries. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And they had an election that was monitored by those organizations that monitor elections. It was totally legit. organizations that monitor elections. It was totally legit and about 97% of the people in Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and go with Russia. Mm-hmm. That's a… It's Russian language and Russian culture that's there. And of course, the Russians have always had their black fleet station there in Crimea as well.

Starting point is 02:43:06 So for all those reasons, Crimea is not going to happen. What about the... I mean, is it looking like Zelensky is going to move on that? And then are there other areas of conflict there, in your opinion? Now, because... And again, the area've they've taken over with the areas that the Ukrainians were killing the people in those areas. They killed over 15,000 in the Donbass region their Russian people Again, I could pick it up here real quick. We got finding it so much and it was going on for eight years you know it was going from 2014. They're shelling civilians, you know, and and again, nobody reported that in the Western press. Yeah. Here's your

Starting point is 02:43:53 Trends Journal, 2014. Washington driving the world to the final war. driving the world to the final war. And here it is, Ukraine, article written by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, United States overthrow the democratically elected government, the Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine back in 2014, that slime ball, Victoria Nuland handing out and what's his name John McCain insane McCain handing out cookies and candies in Maiden Square the United States putting that as off gang in there to overthrow the government but people

Starting point is 02:44:38 have no idea that that's only facts and this is very important. We saw this coming and we warned about it because prior to the overthrow, there's an article in the magazine. Yeah, you see this thing over there? Yeah. This was the, it was a lead up to the Winter Olympics. This is three weeks before the United States over through the government. Security expert. It's not if, but when, for the Socio-Olympics terror attack. Veteran security consultant Bill Rathborne, Crap-Born it should be, hopes that he's wrong about the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but he has more than a hunch that he's not.

Starting point is 02:45:32 Quote, the security threat is higher than it's ever been in the history of the Olympic Games, Rathbone said. In my opinion, it's not a matter of whether there will be some incident. It's just a matter of how bad it's going to be. We noted this because it was day after day, week after week, that the United States warned the American people not to go to the Sociolympics. Olympics because it would be deadly. It was a total lie. Right after that they overthrew the government. It was a setup. People have no idea about this. So we're giving people that they're not getting anywhere else and only by the facts. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:46:31 And the facts are they're going to ramp up. There's not going to be a peace talk there. Ukraine is going to bomb more nuclear power plants or whatever. They'll bomb Russian oil pipelines, depots, whatever they can, strike deeper into Moscow. They're gonna ramp up this war and Europe's gonna ramp it up with it. Again, not a word about peace. Not one person in the media is allowed to talk about peace. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Yeah, as a matter of fact, on RT they're ramping up, you know, saying, well Trump's got his golden dome that he wants to build in a few years or whatever that he imagines he's going to build. And RT did a long expose on a weapon system that Russia has been developing for a while, which is a cruise missile that, of course, they can put a nuclear warhead on it, but it's a cruise missile that actually has nuclear propulsion on it. And the issue is that this thing has

Starting point is 02:47:30 an operational range of 22,000 kilometers and can stay up in the air for days, they said, even weeks or months without refueling because of this. So we just put these things on patrol. I remember when cruise missiles first came out. As a matter of fact, one of the first jobs I interviewed for was, well, I was interviewing with Texas Instruments and they wanted me to interview with a lot of different groups. And one of the groups was a group that did cruise missile guidance systems and stuff. And it's like, I don't want anything to do with this. I had a friend who was in the military and he said,

Starting point is 02:48:06 you know, with the cruise missiles, we can pick which window of the Kremlin that we want to stick this thing through. And I was like, okay, great. I don't want to be a part of that though. And so now they can do that. That was 40, 50 years ago. Now they can still have that kind of accuracy,

Starting point is 02:48:22 but what they can do is keep this thing afloat for days, weeks, even months, and just call it in. It's kind of like another version of these nuclear subs that are out there. So they're putting this out on RT because they don't see peace coming, I think. No. Yeah. They call it their doomsday cruise missiles, like Dr. Strangelove again. Again, we have evil people running the world.

Starting point is 02:48:48 Yeah, yeah. You're evil. Yeah. I agree. Well, you know, this week we had on Wednesday, we had a couple of anniversaries. We had the 200th, 2000th anniversary of this show. I turned 70 and it was also the day that the Vietnam War officially ended. And I't realize that when I saw that. I thought, wait a minute, 75? 1975? I thought it ended in 73 because for me, for me it did end. They had these talks in January

Starting point is 02:49:19 73 and they were kind of then going to back out of it and whatever. And the last person that got drafted was in June of 73, and that was when I graduated from school. So it's like, okay, it's over. I didn't pay any attention. It's like I'm not interested now because they're not going to try to send me over there. But I didn't realize that it drug on for another couple of years, you know, until 1975. We got the famous helicoptering out of the U.S. Embassy and so forth in Saigon. And what are your takes on the Vietnam War

Starting point is 02:49:54 and what we definitely did not learn from that? Well, you know, when I was a young guy, you know, I believed it. I believed in the law that if we don't stop those Vietnamese, they're gonna take obviously young, you know the domino theory Yeah, I believed it and but I didn't want to get drafted because they don't want to get my brains blown out. Yeah So that's why I did everything to beat the draft unlike Trump and Biden that beat the draft, but they like war

Starting point is 02:50:22 To draft dodgers. Yeah, some guy has ankle spurt. His father bought paid off, you know, guy doctor. Bone spur on the ankle. What are you kidding me? But anyway, going back to it, think about this. It's the same communist country, right? Yeah. Yeah. We import, that's our biggest, second largest importer, of furniture, clothing, and shoes we bring in from Vietnam. Yeah, exactly. That's the hypocrisy. And I'm not saying we shouldn't, I'm just saying the hypocrisy of it. Yeah, exactly. They're not a threat. Instead, what they did was they peacefully joined the system, and they did really well in the system joining in and manufacturing stuff.

Starting point is 02:51:07 And I've talked about it in the past too, you know, there was Errol Morris is a filmmaker, a great filmmaker. He had this way where he would use a teleprompter years and years ago. I mean his documentaries that I'm talking about are like, you know, 30 years old or whatever. But he would use a teleprompter to – instead of doing a face-to-face interview, he would put that there to kind of put people at ease. And before he became a filmmaker, he was an investigator and an interrogator, right? And he called it his

Starting point is 02:51:34 interrotron. And so he would talk to people and his first documentary is able to get this guy to confess to a murder that they had somebody else on death row for. It's called a thin blue line. But he got Robert McNamara, before McNamara died, he got him on and interviewed him for a couple of days and McNamara just confessed a whole bunch of stuff like, yeah, it was based on a false flag there and the Golftonkin incident, we knew that that was a false flag and we did it anyway. And he was basically trying to excuse it and say, yeah, well, you know, what we did was not nearly as bad as the bombing of Dresden.

Starting point is 02:52:10 And you know, so don't blame me for any war crimes and all the rest of this stuff. But he also said, Gerald, that he met with some of the Vietnamese decades afterwards. And he said, one of the guys that had been a military leader stood up and banged his fist on the table and said, what's all this nonsense about dominoes? Don't you know anything? Don't you know that for a thousand years we were fighting the Chinese and we still have issues with the Chinese because this whole domino theory was the dumbest thing we've ever seen, you know? And McNamara, supposedly this really smart quiz kid guy, says, yeah, you know, he was actually right, you know.

Starting point is 02:52:46 Isn't it amazing, you know, how we were lied to with all of that stuff. I have that. I was just looking it up here in my book. Trends 2000. I write about exactly what that guy said. And McNamara, how about he lied about, they knew that they were lying. They're all a bunch of lying little low life arrogant. Remember how arrogant McNamara was. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like that little headset boy, arrogant. Look at the little moron we have as a secretary of state, Rubio.

Starting point is 02:53:23 Could you get a little dumber clown jerk than that? Yeah, he's the one that says we don't need studies. And that's a good thing. We don't need studies. We can do everything at warp speed. We can do the vaccines at warp speed, the lockdowns, we can do the tariffs, everything. We don't need to think about where this is gonna happen

Starting point is 02:53:38 with me. Yeah, well, you know, when I look back at the Vietnam War, I was at the very tail end of it, right? And I had my sisters knew people who were, you know, the boys were facing that and knew some who had gone and some had survived in that time and some didn't. And so we were watching it closely and it was already apparent, I mean, it became a lot more apparent after the war, but it's already apparent that they, McNamara and these people, had no intention of winning that war. They would go in, they would fight, they would win a battle, and then at great cost, and

Starting point is 02:54:14 then they would just evacuate and turn it back over to the enemy. And it's like, there's absolutely no way that I'm going to get involved in something like that. It's just insanity. And yet, to me- How about ancient Darwin? Yeah, exactly. And to me, that is the essence of the military industrial complex and the US government's policy. They don't really care. It's just, let's have a war. Let's keep the war going as long as we can. And I've seen it over and over again. I've seen it

Starting point is 02:54:38 in Iraq. I've seen it in Afghanistan. They'll just keep the war going. And they don't care the human cost to our own soldiers. I've talked to so many people who were just a little bit older than I was and the trauma that they went through in Vietnam was just amazing, the stuff that they had these guys do. I know a guy who just died from Agent Orange. He was sick for so many years. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:55:02 You know what they said to the troops? They were spraying this stuff to kill mosquitoes. Darrell Bock Really? Wow. Chuck Liddell Yeah. Darrell Bock Wow. Well, I know a guy that was at Texas Instruments and he would talk about how his job was recon. And he said what they would do is they would drop him and another guy way behind enemy lines and then they would

Starting point is 02:55:23 have to work their way out and they would get back. If they made it back, they would tell them what they saw. And he said, �We�d have to travel by night.� And he goes, �During the day, you know, there�s bugs and all the rest of the stuff.� But he said, �You�ll be there and you�ll be trying to sleep during the day.� And all of a sudden, Viet Cong come through and he said, �If we moved, they were going to kill us. So it was this constant terror. And he said, we would go through this and it would take us a week or two to make our

Starting point is 02:55:50 way back to the base and to tell them what we saw. And he goes, and so then what they would do is they would give us about the same equivalent time, they would give us two or three weeks, they would fly us to Hawaii and we would indulge in every kind of hedonistic thing you can imagine for two weeks. Then we come back and it starts all over again. They take us into this insane thing, dropping us way behind enemy lines and trying to find our way out without being killed. And I thought, man, the stuff that they did to people in that war, that was absolutely unnecessary, that they had absolutely no interest in winning, because again, they

Starting point is 02:56:25 would just abandon these places that they took over. It was just insane. And yet, that's our policy. That's our Pentagon policies, insanity. Again, they're evil people. And not the brightest cats either, just to make that clear. Yeah, that's the thing. The mistake that we make is to underestimate their technology that other people have created for them and then to overestimate their morality because they're just not normal. You talked about the golf of Tonkin. What the hell are we doing over there? What if the Vietnamese were in the golf of Mexico?

Starting point is 02:57:02 The golf of America, Gerald, what's the matter with you? Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry. Don't report me. The enemies were in the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah. The Gulf of America, Gerald, what's the matter with you? Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry. Don't report me. You'll not be able to get any White House press credentials because of that. You'll be banned. Isn't it insane?

Starting point is 02:57:18 What is going on? Well, if we had more time, I would talk to you about this big crypto grift that's going on with Eric Trump and the son of Witkoff. I forget what Witkoff's name is, but you know, real estate buddy of Donald Trump. I think it's Jerkoff. Yeah. It's an amazing thing because you've got a foreign government that is going to be using their stablecoin to get $2 billion worth of stuff stored and they're operating as a bank.

Starting point is 02:57:47 You know, Eric Trump said banks are going to be gone in 10 years because what they're doing is they're setting up his company and stablecoin as a bank. You put this stuff on deposit with them and then they put it out and make money off it. So they're going to make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars off of this $2 billion that are there. And everybody in the New York Times is talking about it saying, this is just unbelievable the amount of in-your-face corruption that is there. I wish we had time to talk about that. We'll talk about that maybe next time when you come on. We're just about out of time.

Starting point is 02:58:18 And I want to thank on Rumble. We have Talman916, thank you very much for the tip. He says, happy belated birthday David, my dad's birthday is tomorrow, also turning 70.
