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 Monday, the 7th of April, year of our Lord 2025. Well today we're going to tell you, it's not going to be the first thing we cover, we're going to tell you that lawfare has been instituted against me and my family here in the show. We'll give you the details about that, what's going to be done about it. But we're going to begin with the tariffs, because some people are starting to catch on to the fraud behind these tables. You even had yesterday on the news shows, you had CBS's Margaret Brennan came after Howard
Starting point is 00:01:20 Luetnick, although she wasn't well enough informed and didn't press to really get the answers. We're going to take a deeper look at the tariffs, what that's going to do to us economically, and the purpose of Trump as the chaos wrecking ball. And it turns out that Trump is really good at killing people, just like Obama. Remember when Obama bragged about that, killed over 400 people back in 2015? Well, they're up to it again. And we'll take a look at this picture and what people on both sides are saying. Some people are saying this was a bombing of civilians gathered for an Islamic ceremony. Other people are saying, no, it
Starting point is 00:01:55 wasn't. Look at the picture. We'll talk about that when we come back. Stay with us. Well, I said on Friday that these tariff numbers, well, I said on Thursday, actually, when they first came out. I said, they don't make any sense at all. Released on Wednesday after this show, so I came in on Thursday morning and talked about it. I said, these numbers don't make any sense. I can't find out where these numbers are. As a matter of fact, when I look at every trade organization, they have very different
Starting point is 00:02:26 numbers. They were orders of magnitude less. So I said something is up with us. They say it's a weighted tariff average. Folks, it's not tariff numbers at all. It was a full-blown lie, and by Friday I talked about where that came from. We showed you the clips, how it came from AI, came from ChatGPT actually.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Just a made up metric, ChatGPT made it up. You could reproduce it yourself, many people did. But there were some people that figured it out before they saw that it was on ChatGPT. So we're gonna talk about the implications of that. But over the weekend, we So we're going to talk about the implications of that. But over the weekend, we had a lot of people talking about the implications of that. Saturday Night Live began by talking about the tariffs,
Starting point is 00:03:10 stuff because of course, it's pretty big. We lost, I think, $11 trillion in the stock market. And it's still going down. And so it's a pretty big subject. You know, are we going to go into recession, stagflation, depression, what is it? It is. Look at it, it's a pretty big subject. You know, are we going to go into recession, stagflation, depression, what is it? Here it is. Look at it, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:03:28 We spent so much time and frankly, millions of dollars on this Visa card. Boy, have we listed the countries in an order that's neither alphabetical nor numerical for maximum confusion. And the tariffs will be reciprocal. We love the word reciprocal. You know, some people say my plan is nonsense, but we're using a formula.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Okay? They call it a formula. It's very complicated, but let me explain how it works. Give me that. All right, so that's a triangle. I don't know what that is, but up here, that's she from China. And that's me stabbing him with a sword. Anyway, you get it.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Your money's gone, and that's okay. We're gonna figure it out. You know, no country is safe from my tariffs. I even put tariffs on an island that is uninhabited by humans. It's called Herd and McDonald Island. Ooh, McDonald Island. I'd love to visit there, right?
Starting point is 00:04:26 McDonald Island. Can you imagine that? A Big Mac and a Hoola skirt, ooh la la. You know, I had to mock up some artwork of McDonald Island. Howard, do you mind bringing that up, please? There we go. I want to go to there, Tina. Get me to God's country, right? Well, it turns out that was Saturday Night Live.
Starting point is 00:04:50 It turns out Sunday Morning Live, Margaret Brennan comes after Howard Leutnik and confronts him with basically about as much depth as a Saturday Night Live parody. And by the way, that's what we're going to be talking about later. The lawfare against Us involves parody. You know, satire is the most dangerous weapon, said the guy who dedicated his book to Satan. Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. It is a very dangerous weapon, and they certainly did parody him. And the talking points of the Trump character were repeated by Margaret Brennan.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Unfortunately, she didn't pay any attention to what was really behind all of that. Here's what she had to say with Lutnik and how he just kind of laughed it off like it was a Saturday Night Live joke. When we saw the President stand in the Rose Garden holding up that chart that you helped make, that wasn't actually tariffs. That was actually confusing to investors because it was some kind of other formula and the countries themselves seemed kind of random. Like why are the herd in McDonald Islands, which don't export to the United States and are quite literally inhabited by penguins, why do they face a 10%
Starting point is 00:06:05 tariffs? Did you use AI to generate this? No, no the idea is off because the idea what happens is if you leave anything off the list the countries that try to basically arbitrage America go through those countries to us any country like we had tariffs the president put tariffs on China right in 2018 and then what China started doing is they started going through other countries to America so they didn't work countries through America and so the president knows that he's tired of it and he's going to fix that so basically he said look
Starting point is 00:06:46 I can't let any part of the world be a place where China or other countries can ship through them So the end of those loopholes these ridiculous loopholes and now what he's trying to say is I'm going to fix the trade Deficit of the United States of America. It's a national security issue. We need to make medicine. We need to make semiconductors. We need to make ships. We need to have steel and aluminum. Come on. We need the greatness of America to actually be built in America. And he's tired of getting ripped off by the rest of the world. Okay. Yeah. Well, you know, um, we don't want those penguins on Herd and McDonald Island doing arbitrage. It's like the penguin from Wallace and Gromit, you know that evil penguin and that was it wrong trousers. Was that it? Yeah, that's Travis's non-design. That was one of our favorites. Haven't seen that in a while. I have to go back and review the tape.
Starting point is 00:07:38 But yeah, we don't want an evil penguin doing arbitrage on the islands. You know, their stuff there. And as he points out, that happened with Vietnam. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just that they were sending stuff to Vietnam and then claiming that it came from Vietnam instead of from China. They were actually moved their factories to Vietnam and actually made it in Vietnam. And Trump actually boasted about that. So was that a good thing or not a good thing? He's boasting about that like he boasted about his pandemic and his vaccine all the rest of stuff he boasted about the fact, hey had to move stuff out of China, it's now going to Vietnam. And if you say that well okay maybe that wasn't what he intended well why'd you brag about it then but
Starting point is 00:08:21 nevertheless did he not know that that was going to happen? And what is it that's going to happen now that Trump doesn't know about? What are going to be the adverse effects, so to speak, of this versus the other things? Well, you've got Gateway Pundit, which now with Trump in office has become Gateway Puppets, and they were very excited about Lutnik's performance and it was a performance. What an absurd thing and they were right that Margaret Bennon was in over her head. She hadn't done her research.
Starting point is 00:08:54 She wasn't able to challenge him on anything. She throws out three talking points from Saturday Night Live and leaves it at that. And so the headline from Gateway Puppets, Commerce Secretary Howard Leutnik Completely Wrecks CBS's Margaret Brennan After She Makes an Absurd Accusation Regarding Trump's Tariff Strategy. No, actually, the accusation is not absurd. Trump's tariff, propagandas and lies are absurd. His formula is absurd.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It's absolutely ridiculous. So they begin by this. And listen to the diatribe, the partisan diatribe here. Far left, face the nation, hoes, blah, blah, blah, was face planted once again on Sunday. Hey, we got him. We got liberal tears here, right? Isn't that great? Trump is marking a new era of economic independence. He's, liberation day, yeah, they misspelled it again, is a new era. Like we had the era or the era of the COVID pandemic, this is another one. The White House also released a detailed chart, said Gateway Puppets. A detailed chart of lies that really
Starting point is 00:10:07 was designed to obscure things. As I said, this chart also doesn't make any sense because it is... you can't find anything by alphabetical order. The first thing I wanted to look at was why are they dealing with Russia? Well, there's no terrorists against Russia. Russia is not in their table. Now, why would Russia not be there? Well, they's no tariffs against Russia. Russia's not in their table. Now why would Russia not be there? Well, they said it's because we're trying to work out a peace agreement with them. Nevertheless, what are you going to tariff from Russia? We've already had sanctions put against them. We're supposedly not legally buying anything, but they completely skipped that part of it,
Starting point is 00:10:40 right? And the sanctions have not been effective anyway. And what are you going to do? Are you going to tariff the uranium for your nuclear reactors? Is that really what you're going to do? We'll see what happens with it. So when we saw the president of the Rose Garden holding up that chart you helped make, that wasn't actually tariffs, said Brennan.
Starting point is 00:11:03 She said that was actually confusing to investors because it was some kind of a formula and the countries themselves seemed kind of random. And it was deliberately that way, as I pointed out. Not in alphabetical order, not in order of claimed tariffs, not any kind of geographical cluster, nothing. And so she said, is it AI? And he just laughs it off. This is the way a Gateway puppet said it.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Lutnik laughed off Brennan's silly remark. Well, no, actually. She didn't understand enough to question him, but it wasn't a silly remark. She was circling the truth truth but couldn't get there. So basically, the arbitraged penguins were going to be worried about a McDonald's island. You know, Trump boasted about all of this, again, the China and Vietnam stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:01 But I want to go back and revisit what I said on Friday about this tariff issue. And again, the publication that was there, people took screenshots. Multiple people did this. Tariff rate is equal to 10 plus a tariff rate plus total imports. By the way, let me just say this. You're talking about, well, we've got to do this because we've got to put a flat 10% plus this ratio. They just concocted.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Actually, they didn't do it. The AI did it. And so the lunacy of this, which of course Margaret Brennan doesn't understand and didn't inform herself about that either, is that we have added at least a 10% tariff to nations with whom we have a surplus. We sell them more than we buy from them and so we're going to put a tax on them. What's that going to do? That's going to have them easily retaliate. You know Trump says we hold all the cards because we're the bigger importer. Well you just got rid of all the cards of the people who we have a trade surplus with,
Starting point is 00:13:05 like the UK, like Australia, many others. South Korea, you're going to have them not buy our products and get rid of those few places that we have a surplus, a trade surplus. But again, it proudly puts out its formula that what they call a tariff is simply a ratio of trade deficit to total imports, which is total nonsense. Total nonsense. You could look at this and say, well, this is a metric that when the numerator increases, then the number that I've come up with, the AI hallucination number, again we could
Starting point is 00:13:46 call it the playing the field index, right? Because this is how you can level the field maybe. You know, so the number in the numerator when that goes up, that bad number over there is going to go up as well. And that number in the numerator is the trade deficit. So when the trade deficit goes up, that bad number goes up. And the denominator, you got deficit. So when the trade deficit goes up, that bad number goes up. And the denominator, you got total imports. Well, when that goes up, then that takes the number down because it's in the denominator. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:14:15 So qualitatively, it's like that. But it's absolutely not a tariff. And it has absolutely nothing to do with any of this. Cato Institute is now onto this as well. This is not a measurement of tariffs. And it's kind of interesting, you know, Babylon B said, well, genius Trump has tricked Democrats into hating taxes. This is a tax. And what he has done, which they don't say is that he's tricked Republicans into loving taxes. Oh, this is going to be great.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Taxes are going to make us wealthy. Taxes are going to make America great again. America was great because we had small government. We had small taxes. It wasn't great because of tariffs. Tariffs are a better way to collect taxes than the income tax in many other ways. But taxes are evil and maybe a necessary evil like government, but it should be minimized like government. The problem is we have maximized government and now they're going to maximize tax collection
Starting point is 00:15:19 by adding tariffs to the income tax and it is not going away, as I said. What is it about MAGA that they can't – they've got to look up the definition of what permanent means. How many times has Trump said, I'm going to make those tax cuts permanent? Well, if he's going to make the tax cuts permanent, he's going to have to make the tax permanent. Or is that too difficult for the Trump apologist to understand? Evidently, it is. Or they didn't want to admit it. And so
Starting point is 00:15:46 Babylon B. says, well Americans are celebrating today after the genius Trump imposed taxes on imports, instantly tricking Democrats into hating taxes and instantly tricking Republicans into loving and defending taxes. That's where we are. That's what this rabid partisanship, this blind partisanship has gotten us. You got Republicans cheering taxes, not the Democrats really pushing back on them. Studies show that 98% of Democrats say they hate taxes now after hearing that Trump is for them. So Democrats have played right into my hands, said Trucker said to Trump because they're suckers.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Well, so has the GOP. Ditto for that. And Rand Paul, when he talked about this, he said, look, his big issue was not even the fact that it was taxes, but it was the fact that this is being done as a dictatorship. That's why Rand Paul opposed this. He said, �This is not about Trump. It's not about Biden. This is about the Constitution and whether we want to be ruled by one man or by a republic.� He said, �These tariffs that are being pushed by the Trump administration on Canada under the pretense of a national
Starting point is 00:17:03 emergency�. And let me just point out, there's no national emergency of fentanyl coming in from Canada. Too small amount. There's more coming from the US into Canada, reality. And he is not interested, a lot of it is coming from China, even the stuff that's coming through Mexico. But if that's an emergency, then Trump is more than willing to set aside that emergency so that his friends can buy TikTok. So it's not an emergency. It's a lie. Even with China, he's going to set aside this. He says, well, it's an emergency because of fentanyl. He's saying that because Congress gave him, gave the presidency authority to set tariffs only under an emergency, so he creates a false
Starting point is 00:17:49 emergency. Does that sound familiar? Does that sound like five years ago? Where Trump came in five years ago and created a fake emergency and then started doing all kinds of insane stuff that was not safe, not effective, had all kinds of adverse effects, ditto for this! Five years later, history repeats itself, but it rhymes this time. This time, it's all an economic plague that he has released upon us, claims that he's found and that he claims that he has something that is safe and effective, and he's going to have us do all kinds of ridiculous stuff that's not going to improve anything as a matter of fact just like his other emergency all of
Starting point is 00:18:31 his measures are going to make things far worse far worse it's going to hurt the people that are healthy and it's going to be another step here's what they have in common gonna come after small businesses, again, as he did before, just in a different way. He is the wrecking ball for the globalists. He has your trust. That's why they're there. You've got R.F.K. Jr. saying, I'm here to get people's trust in the institutions restored and people's
Starting point is 00:18:57 trust in the MMR vaccine. He pushed against that at Children's Health Defense for years. And now, in less than a month of being HHS head. He's gone to Texas and he's pushing the MMR vaccine. He's pushing the idea that a child died from measles. He's pushing the idea that it is safe, that it is effective, that it's your best defense against measles, which by the way folks, in my entire life, I had never known we everybody we knew. I grew up, was born in the mid fifties.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Everybody we knew is getting measles. There wasn't even a vaccine at that point in time and nobody cared. Nobody cared. No parents cared. Nobody had ever heard of anybody dying with measles. That truly was rare. It really is rare. I mean, we're seeing millions of people around the globe dying from the vaccine and the knock-on
Starting point is 00:19:52 effects and paralyzed and all the rest of the stuff, and they just miss it. Just dismiss it by saying, it's rare. It's rare. Yeah, forget about it. It's rare. That's what they say about every bit of damage that is done by their poisons. It's rare. And yet, this really is rare. So I guess if we can label stuff that is real, and we can call it and it's not rare, we can say that it's rare and forget about it. I think when something really is rare, we can forget about it. But that's the purpose of RFK Jr. and that's the purpose of the Trump administration. And that is to get you to trust them, so they can stab you in the back, like he did five years ago, and he's doing it again now, and these same people out there are worshipping
Starting point is 00:20:35 him over this stuff. Well, Paul said, for decades, presidents of both parties have weaponized emergency declarations to bypass Congress. Emergency powers have become the Swiss army knife of authoritarian governance. Tariffs are simply taxes, he said. Tariffs don't punish foreign governments, they punish American families. He says, in the name of America first, policies are being touted as populist defense of the working class.
Starting point is 00:21:06 They are waging economic war on that very same demographic. Actually, that's a comment from Free Thought Project. Estimates ranging from anywhere from $1,200 over $4,000 in annual cost per family. That's if you don't want to buy a car. Trump doesn't want you to buy a car either, just like Biden. Oh, he says he does. Well, if he says he does, then why is he raising the price of $4,000 or $5,000 on average? Congress has abdicated their power.
Starting point is 00:21:34 This is a bipartisan problem, says Rand Paul. I don't want to live under emergency rule. Free Thought Project says Trump's justification for terrorists is that it will help stop fentanyl trafficking, but again, you know, it's going the other way. He's more than happy for TikTok. TikTok is a bigger emergency to Trump than fentanyl. Think about that. Can't have free speech.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Can't have somebody saying something that the government doesn't like. Think about that. That's the basis of the lawfare against us. Even if this was something that was magic, said said Paul, �and it was going to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I wouldn't want to live under emergency rule. We must, at all costs,� he said, �limit the power of the presidency.� Another name for emergency rule is martial law. From the very beginning of what Trump did in 2020, I called it medical martial law.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And that's exactly what it was. But where was Rand Paul five years ago for that? AWOL. He was Rand AWOL, not Rand Paul. To change his last name is not like, not Rand Paul. He changed his last name, not like Ron. He was Rand Awol during all of that pandemic stuff. And then he started pushing lies about the lab and coming after Fauci and telling Fauci we got to restore the public trust in vaccines. Come on, Rand Paul is a libertarian. He's got to know about
Starting point is 00:23:04 Dark Winter, about Event 201, about all the ones in between those two. He's got to understand something about medical science. He's got to understand how fraudulent these masks and all the rest of stuff are. Where was he during the medical martial law? Do we want to live under one person? That's the thing we object to in every dictatorship on the planet. So why are we cheering it here?" says Rand Paul. Well, his base still hasn't gotten the message. And as I talked about on Friday, the simple math behind Trump's terror, several people
Starting point is 00:23:36 talked about it by Friday. Talked about it in more detail than Saturday Night Live and in more depth than Margaret Brennan could muster, but it was discovered by economics professors, many of them independently, and then several people noticed that this came from AI and from Chatchie P.T. They took screenshots. They put them up. This is not a theory to be laughed at.
Starting point is 00:24:02 What needs to be laughed at are people like the Gateway Puppets who defend this stuff as genius, as good for America. So, we are going, when we look at this, we can't forget what the key issue is here. And that is taxes are not the way to prosperity. That is just plain stupid. Yeah, we got a trade deficit, don't we? I got a trade deficit with the federal government. I send them my money and I get nothing back. That's a trade deficit I get.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And they keep piling up a federal debt deficit. I'm worried about those deficits. I don't get anything for my money except I have boot in the face. Never have. And so, you know, you talk about deficits and you talk about how they're spending us into oblivion. By the way, while we're talking about AI, OpenAI's new image generator. This is the latest update of a chat GPT. This is their 4.0 model and it is capable of creating fraudulent documents very, very well. I mean the early image generation programs from AI had a horrible time doing text. They just couldn't get it right. They would add all kinds of
Starting point is 00:25:24 nonsense. They couldn't even do the characters for some reasons. Really kind of weird. It's like how the early images, all the people would have six fingers, you know, like the Nephilim or something. Just a clue for you there. But anyway, so the question is, did it's so good at show those documents again. I'm sorry, you pull that back up again. These are some documents, fake receipts that were created by ChatGPT 4.0. And so it's gotten very good at not only good at doing the text, but logos and other things like that, and it can fake it. I wonder if it just created those charts.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And I think they probably did the charts themselves because if ChatG GPT had done it, they would have been more organized. They probably would have organized by alphabetical order, by amount of tariffs or something. It would take a Trump staffer to be that disorganized. So, Dee Dee Das, who is a principal at Menlo Ventures, tweeted a photograph of a fake receipt for a lavish meal at a San Francisco steakhouse. He says that you can use 4-0 to generate fake receipts. He says there are too many real-world verification flows that rely on real images as proof. He said that era is over. Now why would they be doing this? Why would they be making an issue out of this?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Well they want everybody to have to go to digital ID and biometric ID, right? That's what they want. We can't rely on paper receipts. We can't rely on paper money. You're going to have to get into our blockchain so it can verify all this stuff. But he pointed out that 4.0 was happy to generate fraudulent prescriptions for controlled substances like Zoloft and beyond faking expenses for lavish meals OpenAI's increasingly canny ability to generate fake documents could open up the door for everything from phony tax forms and bank checks to fake IDs and birth certificates? Voter ID? It could do illegal aliens?
Starting point is 00:27:29 I think we're going to have to have biometric ID and digital ID, don't you? Oh yeah, that's the only way that we can prove who we are to the government. Again, it wasn't that long ago, as I said. My mother was born at home, and when she went to get her marriage license she took her father, my grandfather, along with her because he was the witness to testify to her citizenship or whatever, her quasi birth certificate. And the person there at the government office said, well I don't have any proof because I just told you I was there when she was born. Are you calling me a liar? And so she backed off at that point in time.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Well, that was 100 years ago. This isn't America anymore. So whether our ability to detect this storm of fake documents remains to be seen, but given AI companies' current efforts, it's not looking good. Yeah, it's not looking good because you can fool all of the Republican Party and most of the other people with a fake AI chart of tariffs that are not tariffs.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And it really is a repeat five years later, five years later, repeat of what he did in so many ways. People are still trying to come to grips with what happened five years ago. And as this article here from American Reformer says, as secular sources revisit the COVID-19 pandemic response, some evangelical leaders are doubling down on the mitigation efforts. are doubling down on the mitigation efforts. March 2025 marked the five-year anniversary of the COVID pandemic and lockdowns which shuttered churches around the world. He's doing this from a church perspective. He said the legacy press largely cheered those measures at the time, but now even the New York Times is asking, were the COVID lockdowns worth it? Are we going to be asking in five years? Oh, wow, you know, when Trump created that trade war, destroyed our economic system,
Starting point is 00:29:32 destroyed everything, look at what they built back. Was it worth it? So he said, but they're drawing the wrong lessons. He said even some evangelical leaders are looking at it, but they're drawing the wrong lessons. He said even some evangelical leaders are looking at it, but they're drawing the wrong lessons. And so they gave a case in point to one guy who is, did an op-ed piece for the Presbyterian Church in America. This is the really hard left Presbyterian Church.
Starting point is 00:29:58 And I said, this is a guy who did this, but they said, it turns out that, as he's lecturing everybody that not enough was done, it turns out that he's also has a foot in the pharmaceutical industry. He is a physician. He is a vaccine researcher at Mayo Clinic, and they didn't mention that in the article. His name is Dr. Gregory Poland. He gives consultative advice to nearly every Western medicine manufacturer, including Pfizer and Moderna. He was a vaccine advisor to the Biden White House. They go through it and they talk about Francis Collins, and he proclaims he's a professing Christian, but he doesn't agree with God's definition of how the world was
Starting point is 00:30:46 created. He's got his own. Get that out of here. I don't know what Genesis is. I've got my own ideas about how the world came into this. But look, what is ignored in this, because it is coming from American reformer, they may talk about Francis Collins and they may talk about Gregory Poland and they may talk about other evangelical leaders,
Starting point is 00:31:05 Christian leaders or whatever who have cheered and supported all this stuff and told people to do it. If the government tells you to wear pinwheels on your head, you put pinwheels on your head. Remember that? Todd Friel? We had a lot of people saying stuff like that. N nonsense. And he was saying that right before the vaccine mandates are coming. He said that in August of 2021, as we knew the vaccine mandates were coming. That had already been announced at that point in time. I told everybody back in December of 2020,
Starting point is 00:31:36 I said, they're going to mandate this in September. Why did I pick September? Because that's when school starts. And that's why they did it then. Gonna focus on the kids. But yeah, what they will not talk about, they'll not talk about Trump, they'll talk about this guy Gregory Poland. They say he works for the vaccine companies. He's a salesman for the vaccine companies. Trump works for the vaccine companies. They paid him a lot more money than paid Gregory Poland. Trump got millions from him. That's why he made CEO of Eli Lilly. He made him head of HHS and he was the one who kicked off all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Trump is an employee of these pharmaceutical companies. Trump is a salesman. He is one of the biggest salesmen and propagandists for mRNA vaccines there is. As a matter of fact, the day after he got in, what did he do? He picked up where he left off pushing mRNA vaccines and adding in artificial intelligence with Stargate. Remember that? Larry Ellison, I think. And then what did he do?
Starting point is 00:32:40 They put out a guy who was to be head of the CDC, who was a vaccine skeptic. They knew he wasn't going to get through. So they said, well, sorry, you're not going to make it. So we're going to put in somebody else, somebody who is going to push a combination of AI and mRNA. And that's what he did. Very consistent with what he did on his first day in office. His first day in office of his second term began exactly how it ended and what he was doing right up until just a couple of months before the election, pushing
Starting point is 00:33:14 mRNA, this time adding artificial intelligence to it. So yeah, as he points out, he said, well, you had churches that were shut down, liquor stores and abortion clinics stayed open to the public, casinos as well. Small business owners were deemed to be non-essential and they lost their livelihoods as white collar professionals worked from home buoyed by paycheck protection program money from Trump. He won't say that. He won't say it came from Trump. And now what is Trump doing? Well, he's working at making small businesses go even smaller
Starting point is 00:33:47 or out of business. Same stuff. It just rhymes with the first time through. Well, the Cato Institute was on to those phony numbers, even if Margaret Brennan couldn't figure it out what was going on. Too lazy to do the work. Too lazy, too cowardly to engage Lutnick. Trump's tariffs are not reciprocal, says the Cato Institute. This is also in Free Thought Project. A massive tax increase on Americans and it is not reciprocal. This is what Cato Institute says, despite the president's rhetoric about reciprocity, the White House's numbers immediately did not add up. That's what I said on Thursday and by Friday I knew what the issue was. So Despite the President's rhetoric about reciprocity, the White House's numbers immediately did not add up.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That's what I said on Thursday, and by Friday I knew what the issue was. So there's no way that the average tariff rate that the EU charges the US is 39%. And for South Korea, who we do have a free trade agreement with, Trump's chart claim that they're charging us a 50% tariff rate. It's absolutely ludicrous. In fact, many of the countries that Trump singled out for reciprocal tariffs score above the US on conventional measures of trade freedom. But it's not even about that. A tariff is a very specific thing. It is enacted by a legislative body, by the government, or maybe by some dictator executive like we have in our country, but it is a tax at a fixed rate. He's got
Starting point is 00:35:10 a numeric tax. I'm going to tax, and it can be targeted towards different industries, or in this particular case, he's just doing it to punish all countries, right? In the past, and we would put something like that, it was called a sanction. These are really more like sanctions. These are really more like the first fire in a war, and it is a trade war. Cato goes on to say, initially it seemed like there was some sophisticated formula used to calculate the rates. Not so, they said. as several users on X quickly pointed out, the White House and later confirmed it, their reciprocity formula is a simple one, and it is also nonsensical from an economic standpoint, and it is also, most importantly, a lie. You could say that I'm coming up, again, with some AI metric, or you could say I'm going
Starting point is 00:36:02 to call it the fairness index. But it is never a tariff. To call it a tariff is a lie. You could say, this is some kind of an index, as I said before. When this number goes up, you know, that number goes up. When this number goes up, the number goes down. And so you could say, well, I'll put a couple of factors in here. One of them is proportional. The other one is inversely proportional. So I like this as my fairness index. But no way is it a tariff. That is a bowl-faced, bowl-faced lie from Trump and from Lutnik and the rest of these people who don't, they can get away with lying to people and the gateway puppets will cheer
Starting point is 00:36:43 them. Trump is claiming the tariff a country is charging the US is equal to the trade deficit between the countries divided by the imports in the US for goods only, not services, and then he sets his reciprocal rate according to this back of the envelope formula. No, it wasn't a back of an envelope. It was the chat GPT. They said, this supposed reciprocal tariff is then for unclear reasons divided by two because presumably Trump's a nice guy and he's going to give him a discount. For you, half off.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Normally, this would be 50%. But today only, it's 25%. Act now to lock those rates in. He's a con man, salesman, if ever there was one, isn't he? Yeah, he's a nice guy, isn't he? And it's just he's giving him a discount. So it yields a rate that Trump says he'll be applying to almost every country in political jurisdiction on the earth. Well, it's not almost, it's everyone, including uninhabited islands inhabited only by penguins because we can't have these penguins doing arbitrage. If the resulting number is less than 10%, then
Starting point is 00:37:51 Trump still sets a minimum tariff rate of 10%. Even if the US has a trade surplus with the country, they get a 10% tariff. Good. They finally figured that out, too. It's unclear who is responsible for devising this formula. However, online chatter has suggested that it may have come from ChatGPD. We got the screenshots that show it. This is like somebody taking a screenshot and saying, who is the biggest disinformation person? Give me one name.
Starting point is 00:38:18 And ChatGPD comes back and says, Elon Musk. And everybody says, what? You know, they put that up, and everybody starts typing it in, and guess what? They get the same thing. And that's what happened with this formula. Somebody says, look at this. Oh, not only that, but it suggests
Starting point is 00:38:35 how you could put it in Python so that you could automate the process. Here's some Python code so that you can automate this. And so some other people asked the same thing, and they were able to get the same answer. This is not a conspiracy theory. It's a proven fact. And we talk about a proven fact being something that you say is out there, and people say,
Starting point is 00:38:54 �Well, let me see if I can reproduce that.� If you can reproduce it, that's more science than is the basis of any of our policies here where we're talking about climate, or we're talking about pandemics, or any in these other MacGuffins, the fact that you're able to reproduce this, well that's real science to verify it. So anyway, this US trade representative formula appears to be a little more than economic alchemy, they said. It sets reciprocal tariffs by incorrectly assuming that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing. They said it's a little more than amateur arithmetic.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Well, it's an AI hallucination. That's what it is. Anyway, they said it seems to have been improvised on the fly as a rationale for Trump's pre-existing intention of levying heavy tariffs on almost all of our trading partners. Yeah, see, the staff has been working on this for quite some time. We've seen flip-flops delays, flip-flops delays, flip-flops delays. We even had a delay when they did the thing. I guess they were still concocting the charts or something. They moved it from three o'clock to four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. And so there's been delay and flip-flop and delay
Starting point is 00:40:15 and flip-flop. And so I guess they've been searching around for something where they could get the biggest number and somebody was playing around with ChatGPT and found this. and somebody was playing around with chat GPT and found this. Justification for a huge wall, a wall of tariffs. And that's what they wound up going with. There's no reason to assume, says Cato, that all trade will balance. We might want, let's say, a lot of bananas from a country that has a climate that is hospitable to growing bananas, while other countries may not demand any of the goods that we produce. That's the way these things work.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Here's a good example of it. You know, we talk about automobiles, for example. For the longest time, I remember going back to when Japanese cars were rising in market share and people said, well, GM is refusing to make right-hand drive cars. They don't want to put the steering wheel on the right-hand side, because Japanese drive on the wrong side of the road. They do that in New Zealand as well.
Starting point is 00:41:15 But it's easier in New Zealand, I've found, when I went down there to drive. Even though you've got to drive on the left side of the road, it kind of equals out because the country's upside down. So it's not quite as confusing as you would think. Anyway, the GM has refused to move the steering wheels to the right-hand side. So I look this up, are they still doing that? It's like, yes, they still are. They've got one or two models that they have converted over to
Starting point is 00:41:44 right-hand drive, but most of them are still left-hand drive. And so they only have a 1.4% market share in Japan. Well, what do you expect if you don't make cars that people want? As a matter of fact, even if you move the steering wheel to the other side of the car, it's still bigger and not the kind of car that the Japanese want. They don't do any research and try, well, we'll make this car for the Japanese market. They do that in some countries, but they're not doing it there. So if you don't make what people want,
Starting point is 00:42:11 and that's a big flaw with the kind of metric that GPD came up with that the Trump people used. It's like, well, okay, so if you're just going to look at total amount of the deficit and the total amount of exports and imports, that really doesn't give us a picture. And it also doesn't give us a picture. You can have corporations that are not customer driven, that don't really care what people want.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Well, you can expect that they're not going to sell too many things there. They're not targeted to that market. You can also have situations where our own government has all kinds of prohibitions and inhibitions against people expanding their business or starting a business or doing entrepreneurship. And we all know that's the case. That's the real issue. The real issue is that our government is the enemy. But again, as I mentioned TikTok and how he's gonna get rid of that and I said on Thursday That JD Vance said well, we're going to have an agreement by Saturday. They didn't. I also said well, I don't know if that's gonna happen But I do know that he can extend the deadline which he did. I can see this is a dictatorship, right?
Starting point is 00:43:26 He joked about it, but it wasn't a joke, folks. We can see it wasn't a joke. He's proud of the executive orders that he's done. And the Republican camp followers are proud of it as well. They want to be ruled by dictates. Well, guess what? You're not going to like it when the dictates are coming from the other side, are you? That's why we don't want to have a dictator. Anyway, he's extended it another 75 days. And so, it will be done by the deadline. So see,
Starting point is 00:43:56 JD Vance said the right thing. Yeah, it'll be done by the deadline. Well, we'll just keep moving the deadline. We'll just keep moving the goalposts because they keep moving the goalposts on pretty much everything. This is, by the way, the ban was first pushed by Trump. It was enacted and signed by Biden. So both of them were on the same page when it came to authoritarian measures and now they have they've gone full totalitarian on this but now this is in 47 we have Trump who is primarily a grifter more than anything else so he's looking at how he can make money for his people so it's unclear who came up with some of these numbers said some of the people are said some of the people who were
Starting point is 00:44:46 looking at it, some people who didn't quite understand, and that would be like the Washington Post. They didn't do the research to see that it was a chat GPT. They didn't look at the formula. They said these numbers are kind of similar to stuff that Peter Navarro has talked about. Well if you go back to 2019, it was exposed at that point in time, there were several articles that were written by the anti-Trump press, talking about the fact that when Trump was running for office he asked Jared Kushner to come up with some economic advisors. He didn't have any.
Starting point is 00:45:24 And so Kushner just starts looking through Amazon at book titles and he finds one that really catches his eye. It's called Death by China. And so he looks up some more about this guy. Of course he's not reading the books, he's looking at the titles. That was written by Peter Navarro. Peter Navarro should have called it death by government, because that's really what is happening.
Starting point is 00:45:47 It's death by government. Our government, we have met the enemy and they is us. But he also wrote another book, The Coming China Wars and how to win them and so forth. So they made Peter Navarro an economic advisor. And do you remember this last lockdown fake emergency crisis? Peter Navarro was the guy who was going out there telling GM and Ford to shut down and to make ventilators. Yes, Peter Navarro actually was responsible for machines that smothered people to death.
Starting point is 00:46:19 He should be in jail for the rest of his miserable life. And one of the, what was interesting was in 2019, CNN and many others did articles about how he had used a pseudonym, Ron Vara, which is, and he later admitted that he had used that. It's an anagram of Navarro, Ron Varro. And he referenced this guy who was supposedly an economic expert. He quoted Ron Varro himself.
Starting point is 00:46:53 He made up these quotes. He made up a fictional character who was supposedly an expert in economics. And he quotes him in his book more than a dozen times in his books. That's the kind of guy Peter Navarro is. That's the kind of guy that is the one advising Trump on these tariffs. Well, the bottom line is no country is going to win a global trade war.
Starting point is 00:47:18 It's just like any other war. War? Well, you're not going to, uh, you're not going to, you know, war is bad for both sides. So on a coin telegraph, no country wins a global trade war. Bitcoin is going to surge as a result. But so far Bitcoin has not. Gold has. Gold is real. It remains to be seen about Bitcoin, quite frankly.
Starting point is 00:47:43 And so, again, if you want to get gold, David Knight.gold will take you to Tony Aardeman. Take a look at that. You better start accumulating something for a rainy day, because I can see the storm clouds gathering, can't you? And it's storm clouds of inflation, of economic chaos, of complete financial restructuring. What are you going to hang on to? Are you going to try to get something that's on the blockchain? Are you going to hang on to paper from the government and IOUs from the Federal Reserve? Or are you going to get something
Starting point is 00:48:11 that's real? Do what the central banks are doing. Look, I understand it's a difficult time. Maybe some people, as Tony said, there's a lot of individuals who are selling it, but the people who are buying it are the central banks, the people who see and are actually planning and creating the economic chaos. Trump's trade policies will create worldwide macroeconomic turmoil and short-term financial crises that will ultimately lead to greater adoption of Bitcoin as a store of value asset according to Bitwise analyst Jeff Park. Well, I disagree, but you know to each his own. At least get out of the dollar. Make some preparations. Economic instability from the trade war will cause governments to adopt inflationary fiscal and monetary policies,
Starting point is 00:48:59 which will further debase currencies, which will lead to a worldwide flight to safety and alternative stores of value like Bitcoin, also like gold. He doesn't say that because this is about Bitcoin. But again, the people who are trying to defend Trump are saying this is a genius move because he's going to get interest rates lowered. They're already lowered a fractional amount, these long-term rates which are market-driven as opposed to the fiat declarations from the Federal Reserve. You know, when you save the Federal Reserve, come in the lower interest rates. But then what happens is the long-term rates are set by what people in a marketplace think is going to happen with inflation. And so that's why you see this disconnection, why the Federal Reserve
Starting point is 00:49:50 would lower short-term interest rates and yet you would see the long-term interest rates going higher. Because when they would lower those and people say well that's going to drive inflation. So you know if I'm gonna buy a 10-year bond or something I'm gonna need more interest for that.' So it actually was having a counter-effect. Well, they've lowered them in the long-term rates based on this for some reason. But the tariff costs for both the US and trading partners and the relative impact will be much heavier on foreigners, said this guy.
Starting point is 00:50:23 These countries will then have to find a way to fend off their weak growth issues. And so with all of this, you know, they're pushing us towards chaos. They're pushing us towards global strife. And again, it is Trump who pretends that he's an anti-globalist, but he is pushing what the globalists want. And that is chaos. You know, the central thesis of these people, when they talk about what is happening with the fourth turning, actually it was the force industrial revolution, right? Fourth industrial, it sounds like it's forced, and actually he's talking about the fourth turning. Many people will talk about the generations that Strauss and Howell named, millennials
Starting point is 00:51:10 and so forth, but they don't talk about the central thesis of that, which is that every four generations there is a massive disruption. It begins economically and it usually progresses to war. As we saw the Great Depression, World War II, prior to that Civil War and what was happening in many countries. We had a Civil War in Italy at the same time. Why? Because you had the right, you had a change from an agrarian society to an industrial society and the creation of the nation-state and it wasn't just in America. It was in Italy, it was in Germany, many other places like that as well.
Starting point is 00:51:45 And this is what Bloomberg was talking about when he attacked the farmers and he attacked the factory workers and he called them stupid. He said, �The smart ones of us are going to figure out how to take their jobs and we just got to figure out then how to keep them from coming after us with guillotines.� It was the first place that I saw that full quote. Everybody was saying, �Look at this. He attacked the farmers and he attacked the factory workers. And yes he did, and they stopped it at that point.
Starting point is 00:52:08 The place that I saw the first time I saw the full quote was on Breitbart, and yet Breitbart missed the implications of that. And I was like, oh, he's talking about universal basic income, oh, he's talking about the fourth turning. And they completely missed those implications. So tariffs are stagflationary for the world as a whole said hedge fund manager Ray Dalio and on April the second on liberation day. Tariffs tend to be more deflationary for the levied goods producers and more inflationary
Starting point is 00:52:40 for the importing country. Guess who the biggest importer is? USA. So it's going to be inflationary for the importing country. Guess who the biggest importer is? USA. So it's going to be inflationary. We're going to have stagflation. Or as Gerald Slinty said, if it gets really bad, we'll have dragflation. It won't just be no growth.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It'll be going down. If these trade tariffs do lead to a massive trade war, it's going to be very ugly for the whole world, says Coinbureau founder Nick Puckron. The analyst said the U.S. economy has a 40% chance of a recession in 2025 amid fears of a lengthy trade war and the macroeconomic uncertainty brought on by protectionist trade policies. Asset manager Anthony Pompliano recently speculated that the US President is deliberately crashing capital markets to force interest rate cuts and lower the cost of servicing the US national debt.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's like somebody sent me a clip of some guy saying, this is genius, this is what Trump is doing. Is it really genius? Is it really genius to crash the stock market deliberately so he can create inflation with lower interest rates? Is that good for us in the long term either? What's the matter with these people and what right does he have to crash the stock market? You know, people lost a lot of money and their 401ks and their pension funds and things like that. What right does Trump have by executive
Starting point is 00:54:06 order to crash those retirement stocks or any other things? What right did he have to shut down small businesses on Main Street for the benefit of Wall Street? And you know who's going to wind up with the short end of the stick. It's going to be the small guys. It's not going to be the big guys. They'll be fine. And of course, this is genius, according to the Manga people. Let me tell you what genius is. They've got the genius act, which is part of the legal foundations being laid to completely reset our financial system.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And the genius act is going to be pushing the stablecoin. Another invention of people like Lutnik, Lutnik I guess as I pronounce his name. Well good luck Nick with that, because that is maybe that'll soak up some of their T bills that people don't want to buy. But it is going to send us into an authoritarian society just the same as if it was a central bank digital currency.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It is not genius. They want to do that because they want to call the boneheaded, stupid and tyrannical things that they do. They always label them as genius. You know, it's like a smart car or smart city or smartphone. These are things for dumb people. You call it exactly the opposite of what it is and people buy it. Well, I think this is part of the financial reset of the system. I smell a rat, not a genius, and it's not pinky in the brain either, but he is trying to take over the world. Let's just talk briefly about the trade deficit here. So what is the global trade deficit of the US in 2024? I mean, this is the deficit that we have
Starting point is 00:55:48 when you total up everything with every country, all the stuff that we buy and sell. We have a deficit of nearly a trillion dollars. Now that's not a good thing, but there's not anything, there's not any metric that I could come up with out of Washington or out of our society that's a good thing, not a single thing.
Starting point is 00:56:05 And we've got problems all over the place. You can see the hand of God in judgment already building a great flood that's about to fall across this country. So $918 billion trade deficit when you look at globally with everybody else. That is a combined deficit in goods and services. Now we have an even bigger deficit in goods because we have a services surplus. So the goods deficit alone was $1.2 trillion, but the services surplus was $293 billion. So overall that takes it down to $918 billion.
Starting point is 00:56:49 That was a 17% increase from the previous year. So we are, how do you go bankrupt? First gradually, then suddenly. And just like our budget deficit, our trade deficit is going that direction as well. But folks, it's not death by China. It's death by our own government. All of these policies trace back to our own government. It's our government that is doing this.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Our government wants you to get angry at China. Our government wants you to get angry at other countries. Our government wants you to get angry at corporations. It's our government. They're the ones doing this and pointing to everybody else. at other countries. Our government wants you to get angry at corporations. It's our government. They're the ones doing this and pointing to everybody else. They're the ones lying to you and telling you that regulations and restrictions and taxes and all these, oh, that's great for us. That's great for us. So, it really is a wrecking ball. and I'm about to take a break here because I'm going on just about
Starting point is 00:57:45 an hour. Jacob Nordengard, this is on technocracy news, Patrick Woods thing. He says scholars like Dr. Nordengard in Europe are saying the same thing about technocracy as Patrick Woods says I say, and it's the same thing I say. What do they say in Europe? They say, Donald Trump is the great disrupter, and he serves as the wrecking ball that is needed to break down the old order.
Starting point is 00:58:15 This is what Dr. Nordengard said. He said, we're witnessing a monumental shift in world affairs. The second phase of what I call a technocratic coup has now been initiated. This is a revolution set to change everything in our global society, with a geopolitical map quickly being redrawn, and the migration of humanity into the cybernetic digital
Starting point is 00:58:34 machine. The first phase of the great transformation rolled out during the COVID-19 pandemic, where they were all doing the same thing. As I've said so many times, it doesn't matter whether they call themselves conservative or liberal or socialist or whatever or populist, they all did the same thing. Trump was no different than Trudeau. They did the same thing, they did the same thing on the same timeline. But don't call it a conspiracy, right?
Starting point is 00:59:01 It was absolutely a global conspiracy. And who was the key leader in it? Who supplied the poison injection? Donald Trump and the US military. But Klaus Schwab and Antonio Gutierrez of the UN had talked about this previously. And of course, it was just 10 days before Trump's FDA director declared a pandemic in America with only six supposed cases. A pandemic for all of the country.
Starting point is 00:59:29 He declared that on January 31, 2020. On January 21, Trump was at Davos meeting and talking with these guys. Nothing to see there. I'm sure there was nothing untoward happening there. The event kick started a political process that the UN has called our common agenda. Common pass and all the rest of the stuff was what they're putting out. They're always talking about common this and common that. They don't care about the common man, do they? And their common is like communist. They are neo-Marxists.
Starting point is 01:00:07 So it led to the adoption of the Pact for the Future in September 2024. The end goal is to upgrade the UN into a future-oriented organization that uses strategic foresight and behavioral design, with a grandiose objective of steering the Earth and achieving a balanced system. Klaus Schwab talks about the world brain or a digital crystal ball. He talks about the ability to predict what will happen or what is needed in the future, but it doesn't start with Klaus Schwab. As the big new Brzezinski was talking about this stuff back in the 1970s, between two ages, the technocratic age to come. They liked what he was doing so much, they put him in charge of the Trilateral Commission
Starting point is 01:00:50 and then they put him in charge of Jimmy Carter. A new financial system with world currency replacing the US dollar crisis and conflict is needed ingredient in this Kool-Aid that is being offered to us, especially by Trump, with a story that could be taken from the Book of Revelation, the invincible Don Trump has reclaimed the throne. Trump is the great disruptor and serves as the wrecking ball needed to break down the old order and make America, maybe, not so great again. On his first day he ordered the U.S. to leave the WHO, halting all climate commitments and
Starting point is 01:01:23 banning development of CBDC. Ripping apart unpopular policies of the left gives support from the fan base and shows commitment to his election promises. And yet, on all these issues, as I said over and over again, the Republicans are saying, we're not going to have CBDC. No, we'll have something else. They're working on the Genius Act. We'll have a stable coin that'll be privately owned so these people can make money off of the tyranny. That's the difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Democrats
Starting point is 01:01:49 want to become trillionaires and be tyrants so they can become trillionaires. The Democrats just want to be tyrants. But remember, in his first round, he delivered the vaccines at warp speed with the military pulling the strings, working in tandem with Bill Gates to evoke the biotechnological illusion with the big tech securing the borders from illegal aliens and communicable diseases with high tech solutions. The only time he ever closed the border was with his fake pandemic. The same logic applies today. The Trump administration has skillfully rebranded the tools for technological control.
Starting point is 01:02:22 His ascendancy to power marks the second phase of the technocratic coup. And behind him we see people like Peter Thiel, who's on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group, supposedly Trump's globalist enemies. Isn't it amazing when you look at all this stuff? In 2007, Peter Thiel was one of the World Economic Forum's young global leaders, and that year when they put him in there, they talked about Project 2030 in 2007. It was eight years later that they started talking about the UN 2030 agenda, and they got it passed the next year.
Starting point is 01:03:00 So nine years after this kicks off, the World Economic Forum kicks off with Peter Thiel, who is on the steering committee of the Bilderberg, and yet people like Alex Jones, who used to always tell you about Bilderberg so that you'd trust him, right? He has now been on the dark side for over five years. Went over to the dark side. Well he woke me up. Well, he put you to sleep again, didn't he? He put that Trump pacifier in your mouth, and he put you to sleep again. He knows what's going on. Oh yes, he does. And he's chosen which
Starting point is 01:03:37 side he's going to be on, and it's on the globalist side. That's where Alex is. So, Elon Musk, the self-named dark Gothic magga, has a magician, I guess, you know, technology that is sufficiently advanced, said Arthur C. Clarke, is the same as effectively as magic. He also calls himself the Techno King, and his star link is really going to be the watcher from the sky. His optimist robot will babysit your child, says this writer. While his neural link is intended to make it possible to interact directly with the global cybernetic mind or to have the global cybernetic mind interact directly with yours. And the day after the inauguration, we had what was interesting called the Stargate project
Starting point is 01:04:26 because it did literally open a portal to the unknown, if this goes through, combining AI with mRNA. Well, isn't that great? The Trump team is not in opposition to the technocratic machine as they are implementing the World Economic Forum's Industrial Revolution at rocket speed. That's right. And so what is the next step with this? Well, we're going to have a trade war.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Don't know how long it'll last. Don't know how bad that'll be. It could actually kick off a real war. That's the way real wars frequently start. Real wars frequently start with sanctions, and that's what these tariffs are. It's more accurate to call them sanctions. So in the UN's common, our common agenda, it was proposed that an emergency platform be established in the event of a complex global shock and they listed seven global crises
Starting point is 01:05:20 that could trigger an international coordinated response. Things like a climatic event, or a pandemic, or biological agents, or disruption to global flows of goods or people. Or cyber attacks, or events in outer space, or, finally, an unforeseen black swan event. Well, how about UFOs and so-called disclosure stuff? Are they ready to pull that phony trigger as well? Ronald Reagan talked about that at least three times. So what are they going to pull? Well, this guy, again, this European,
Starting point is 01:06:00 quoted in Technocracy News, says Trump is clearly the major source of chaos in an agenda of biblical proportions and religious symbolism. Trump has been hailed as heir to King Cyrus, depicting him as a rebuilder of the Third Temple of Jerusalem, putting him on coins with Netanyahu. If everything goes according to plan, out of the ashes will rise a new multipolar world with a regional blocks or tech mates, a network of smart cities, or maybe we'll call them freedom cities, right? Liberation Day for taxi? Yeah, I like that Liberation Day. And for smart cities we'll call them freedom cities. Yeah, that'll suck in the conservatives, won't it? Well, Trump says
Starting point is 01:06:43 it's freedom. it must be freedom. So yeah, all of that will be tied into their global operations stuff. Well, this writer says, the European Union is currently being repurposed with historical upgraded defenses. Trump's rhetoric with Canada's becoming the 51st state in the takeover of Greenland could be the precursor to a real North American union or to the tech-nate as we have seen them talk about a hundred years ago. But he says, �I do not believe that this Tower of Babel will succeed in the long run.
Starting point is 01:07:17 It is hubris.� That�s what the Tower of Babel was about. It was about pride. The pride of Satan that cast him down, the pride of the Tower of Babel was about. It was about pride. The pride of Satan that cast him down. The pride of the Tower of Babel that created nations, tongues, and tribes to confuse them. Pride is always directed against God and God is his own defender. And it may last for a while. Who knows? It may last for the rest of our lives, our short lives. Or it may last for a while. Who knows? It may last for the rest of our lives, our short lives. Or it may last for our grandchildren. But it will eventually go down. It will be taken down by God one way or the other at one time or the other.
Starting point is 01:07:54 We know that it is just temporary. Well, we're going to take a break. It's been going on for a very long time. And when we come back, I'm going to read your quotes and I'm going to tell you about the lawfare that's been initiated against us and also look at your lot of mail. I haven't taken the time to go through it so we're going to take some time to go through some mail but I'll tell you about the lawfare when we come back. We'll be right back. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
Starting point is 01:08:35 They created Common Pass to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
Starting point is 01:09:19 find at TheDavidNightShow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidNightShow.com. Well, welcome back on Rumble DG8. Thank you for the tip. It says, David Trump is the hammer to put the last nail in small business America. His cult can't see it. They claim this is 3D chess to destroy the market and refinance the debt at a lower rate. Foolishness. David is hard to trust. These evangelicals, these are the same people. They go along with
Starting point is 01:10:14 Trump promoting heretic, Paula White, as his evangelical leader. By the way, she's got a special in case you want to get super blessed. You can send her a thousand dollars, I think, sometime around Easter time. And you'll probably, you know, if you could give that money to her, give it to Trump. Now, they're going to bless you with something, you know, maybe, who knows, you got TikTok partnership or something. I don't know. These people have no principles. I agree. Rumble, Hal 9000 Watson says when Trump tanks the economy it feels good. Better than Biden. Yeah. Stealth Patriot, thank you so much for the tip on Rumble. Says Trump reminds me of the choose your destructor quote-unquote scene in Ghostbusters
Starting point is 01:11:00 instead of Dan Aykroyd thinking of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, he says all I can think of is the armless bag of Cheetos. Yeah there you go. The Orange Man, remember when, remember when we had Glenn Beck rub his face in Cheetos? So we'll see. By the way, just want to let you know we now stream on Kik as well. Kik.com forward slash David Knight Show. Kik is a good platform for us because they return 95% to the creators, which is better
Starting point is 01:11:35 than we get anywhere else. The only place that's better than that is Zell and the post office, but they don't take a cut. Not yet anyway. We'll see. I want to talk about lawfare. And I put up the Hitchcock-McGuffin thing on Twitter. I think I put it up on Wednesday or something or Thursday.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Anyway, it was the next day that a law firm sent me a cease and desist order and threats about claiming that I had violated the trademark of the Hitchcock family. Actually, it's not the family. They made it into a corporation so that the lawyers and the various Hollywood people can keep grifting on this. Long after his death, he died 45 years ago. His daughter died five years ago his daughter died Five years ago at the age of 93, but they can keep this thing going forever And that's kind of where we are with intellectual property today ironic. I think that the music that they use
Starting point is 01:12:38 funeral march for marionette or you know puppets from Gateway, I guess I'm not funeral march for a a Marionette by Charles Gounod, I guess. I don't know how he pronounces his name. He's French. They always like to throw in a consonant at the end of a word to make you sound stupid because you don't pronounce it the way they do. It's not like Pujo. You know, you don't pronounce the T at the end or Renault. If you're it a Renault, they laugh at you, right? Anyway, funeral march for a marionette, and that was used as Hitchcock's theme. And they used that 60, he died, he did it in 1893, but it was about 62 years after he
Starting point is 01:13:21 had died. Now, under today's copyright stuff, that would not be allowed. Now, they could pay a license fee for it, I guess, to the family, but the copyright laws have been extended significantly with all of this stuff. And then, of course, there's other issues like the trademark law, which is very subjective. And so, I want to show you what they accused us of violating the Hitchcock silhouette that he claimed. He says, well I'm sure that it's not a claim. They actually registered the Hitchcock silhouette. That's what you would see at his, you know, in his programs, that silhouette. This is what they say
Starting point is 01:13:58 violated that. Does that look the same? That's Hitchcock and this is our trademark violation. I'm sorry, am I not allowed to have somebody that is a silhouette? Now of course we were obviously making this about Hitchcock and it was a parody. Parodies are protected speech. And so this is, you know, there's also another, and I don't know which one of these is a registered trademark. I don't know if they registered Hitchcock's actual profile with his double chin and his
Starting point is 01:14:30 prominent nose there, or if it is the cartoon version of it that you've seen so many times with a bunch of arcs that's there. But there you can see both of those together. Now I find it interesting how selective these things are and this is why I think there's something that's why I called it law fair because I don't think this is about copyright violations. I've been the victim of this kind of alleged copyright claims as law fair in the past and that's what I think this is truly about. Now here we see him standing in profile. I put that there because that was actually a pose that was done by Rush
Starting point is 01:15:09 Limbaugh when he did a concert tour in the late eighties. They would play his theme song music, which by the way, he had, um, you know, he used the pretenders music, even though they didn't like it. They tried to shut it down, but you know, you can,. But you can pay for the, was it ASCAP? I don't know who it is, but it's all the association, if you're on the radio or whatever, you buy into it. And that gives you free access to play any pop music that you want to as long as it's under that umbrella.
Starting point is 01:15:40 So he had a legal right to do that, as do a lot of these politicians when they play somebody's theme song and the artist doesn't like them, you know, there's not really anything they can really do about it, they can complain about it. But anyway, they played his, you know, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, and he walks out and he stands there, the curtain, in the pose of Hitchcock for a little bit, and then he comes back out. Well, now they didn't shut him down.
Starting point is 01:16:04 They didn't shut him down, and that was only just a few years after Hitchcock had died. That was in the late 80s. Hitchcock died in 1980. And then you have situations like this. This is a t-shirt that's available on Etsy. Now, I don't know if that design is licensed or not. If it's on Etsy, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. And so the question is, you know, is this a trademark violation of Hitchcock? So I saw this on Saturday, and getting a letter from a law firm really got me angry, as you can imagine, and I spent most of Saturday thinking about how I was going to respond to this.
Starting point is 01:16:50 And you know there's also The Voice but then we've also had, we did a cartoon version of Hitchcock because you know we could have done a photorealistic version. It's not hard to do today. It's very easy to do. But we wanted to make sure that people understood that it was a parody. So we did a cartoon version of it. And you know there's been other cartoon versions that have used people's voices. Pinky and the Brain, for example, used Orson Well's voice.
Starting point is 01:17:17 That was the brain. We had, about the same time, we had Ren and Stimpy. Remember that? One of them, I forget which is which had the voice of Peter Laurie and Of course contemporary with all these people there were always parodies that were being done. I remember the cartoons of this exaggerated character of Edward G Robinson took me a second there.
Starting point is 01:17:46 You know, the gangster, meh, meh, meh, you know, with a cigar in his mouth. You probably remember it as well if you're old enough. But yeah, always that type of stuff. What does Saturday Night Live do all the time, right? And so to say this is a violation of trademark or something like that, not for, certainly it's not a violation of trademark for political figures and you're able to make fun of them, but they do it all the time for
Starting point is 01:18:09 superheroes. Do they get a letter every time somebody puts on like a Superman costume or something? No, they don't. They look the other way. So why is this happening? This is happening because of politics. This is happening for the same reason that YouTube took down It's a Wonderful Life. They didn't take down It's a Wonderful Life. They had had, and it wasn't coming from the studio that reasserted their copyright claim. It wasn't coming from that studio. Supposedly, well, they let their copyright claim go and they lost it globally. And by the way, when we're talking about intellectual property, that was the best thing that ever
Starting point is 01:18:48 happened to that movie. Because it was on the public domain, people discovered it. It had been lost because when it first came out, people didn't like the movie for whatever reason, but because it played over and over again, because it was on the public domain on Ted Turner's cable channel. It became very famous and it became an established thing and everybody was doing knockoff copies of it. There was no copyright on it. They'd let it expire by a clerical error. They did not renew it. And so what happened was the company
Starting point is 01:19:21 that used to have it on RKO or somebody, it was bought and sold. These different studios were bought and sold so many times. I don't know who had it. But the people who currently would have had it went to the US courts and reestablished their copyright. Now, how did they do that? Well, they came up with this legal prevarication saying, we're going to reestablish this copyright by saying that we have a copyright on the script and we're going to because it's a written thing and it's got a longer term
Starting point is 01:19:58 So that's still in effect. So we're going to take the copyright from the script and we're going to apply it to a movie That's never been done before and the courts let them get away with that theft if you will that prevarication And so there's a lot of things to see in that. Number one, how intellectual property actually works against an artist, this kind of excessive protection of intellectual property. Up to a point it's good, but when it becomes excessive, it actually works against that artist. And I think it becomes counterproductive. But the other part of it is just how rigged our legal system is, willing to set aside its own rules and its own laws. And so I looked at it and I thought, well, still I think it's important because I had this happen to me
Starting point is 01:20:43 before with It's a Wonderful Life, It's a Wonderful Lie was the parody that I did, talking about the creation of the Federal Reserve. I had a lot of stuff in that 10-minute video that was about the creation of the Federal Reserve, quotes from people at the time, pictures of the people at the time, but I also used some illustrations and commented on those illustrations, all of which is covered under fair use and parody and so forth, talking about how inflation had devastated things. Look at the salary that he was willing to bribe George Bailey with. Look at the banker.
Starting point is 01:21:15 He is the exact image, really, of J.P. Morgan and how he orchestrated bank runs to take out his competition and other things like that. So I talked about all that and they took it down claiming that it was a violation of copyright Which had been fraudulently reassessed but only in North America But where did I get the short clips that I used as part a couple of short clips? I use as part of that. I got it from YouTube. I got it from the full version of It's a Wonderful Life, which was available to people in North America, was
Starting point is 01:21:51 not put up by the studio, had been up for seven years, had over a million views at that time, and it was not monetized. They weren't doing monetization at that point in time. That was 2013. That was five years before they censored Infowars. Infowars was their darling at the time, generating a lot of traffic for them. And so that was the first thing that was censored at Infowars, was that, because they did it about the Federal Reserve. It was politics. It wasn't about copyright.
Starting point is 01:22:19 It wasn't about trademark. It wasn't about any of that stuff. This I believe is as well. I believe as I put it up on social media, I put hashtags there about climate scam, but I also put up hashtags that the left would look at, climate and how important, and so I'm sure that somebody saw that and contacted them to do lawfare against me.
Starting point is 01:22:43 So I spent Saturday figuring out what I was gonna do with this, and quite frankly, I think this is a hill to die on. Thought about how I could do a GoFundMe or something like that. And I was really angry and upset all of Saturday. On Sunday I got up and I said, well, let me just, you know, get away from this. I don't know. Read the Bible, pray about this and some things.
Starting point is 01:23:09 And immediately, when I stopped thinking about these people, immediately, I remember when Christ said, if someone sues you for your shirt, you give them the shirt off your back and your coat also to paraphrase it. So I don't like it, but we're going to do what they said and we're going to do what they said, and we're going to take it down. And there's more than one way to do a parody. I don't have to fight them head on where they are strong. I don't have to fight them head on in their hopelessly corrupt, politically biased court system.
Starting point is 01:24:00 That's why they use lawfare. I've watched this over and over again from people I'm not gonna play in that field Frankly, we have weapons as Christians that are mightier than what they have and that includes their lawyers their pagan system and so there's more than one way to do a parody and So we're going to not use that anymore We'll work on something else that, you know, this whole thing which is necessary because I pointed out, you know, the whole idea that whatever it is that they're using, whether it's climate,
Starting point is 01:24:37 whether it's, you know, the allegations of cow farts or whatever it is, all the nonsense or the cove it nonsense That doesn't really matter that doesn't matter it is the The way that you motivate the characters and it's their motivations and what they're doing that really matters the rest of the stuff is just a smoke screen or a screen of flatulence if you will right and It was a guy Angus McPhail, who was a screenwriter who collaborated with
Starting point is 01:25:12 Alfred Hitchcock who came up with the idea of the MacGuffin. That wasn't Hitchcock's. And so the MacGuffin will continue and the parody will continue and we will fight them on our own terms And we will do as the lord jesus christ said We'll give them the shirt off our back and what we've worked for And uh, don't know what is going to happen with this. But anyway, um, I want to go over some of um The uh, let's see, we've got Marty.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Marty says, Rush Limbaugh paid the pretenders $100,000 a year to use their song. Well, I don't know if that was... Maybe that's the case. I thought it was covered under the blanket thing that was there, but maybe he paid them another thing. They still complained about it, nevertheless. Maybe they're trying to get the rate up. Let's talk a little bit about some of your mail that's been sent to me. This
Starting point is 01:26:09 came from Sam and says, yeah, gotta get your shots. Well all this stuff is coming back again. Riverside County, that's the clip he sent me. Adult tests positive for measles. The first case in the county since 2018, everybody's going to die. There's going to be rumors of measles and PCR tests with measles and all the rest of the stuff. And of course, we've got RFK Jr. has traveled now to Texas. They claim that a second child has died of measles. I don't believe that because it's been debunked about the
Starting point is 01:26:45 first child's death. The child had the rash had already decreased. The child had bronchial pneumonia and they took him to this hospital and the parents wanted... what was the antibiotic? I can't remember. But it was a common antibiotic that is commonly used and the doctor and others have accused that hospital of withholding effective treatment for that child, but it wasn't measles that killed that child. So I don't necessarily believe, since they lied about the first one, I don't necessarily believe that the second child died with that either. This is maybe died with a PCR test, died with measles, not from measles, or so forth.
Starting point is 01:27:26 This is the kind of game that we've seen. But the most important thing is the fact that RFK Jr. is there, and he's there saying, your most effective protection against measles, in case you think you need it, is a shot. He spent decades pushing back against these childhood vaccine shots and talking about how dangerous they are. And as a condition of him getting that office, he bowed to this pharmaceutical GOP Senator Cassidy out of Louisiana. He bowed him and basically sold his soul to the devil. And that's now he is, after he sold his soul to the devil. And that's now he is after he sold his soul to the devil, now he is selling vaccines to your children and to you and talking about how wonderful they are. It's disgusting, disgusting to see this. And so at the same time, you got Elon Musk
Starting point is 01:28:22 boasting about how 10 billion humanoid robots will outnumber people and invade the earth. I've talked about this, the Nvidia CEO said, you're gonna have humanoid robots walking the street in less than five years. And so Elon Musk is saying, my prediction that Optimus will be the biggest product of all, be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made, he said. Well he's already talking about how you're going to have more of these than you would do cars. He said long term I think there will be more.
Starting point is 01:28:53 The ratio of humanoid robots will be more than one to one. There might be two humanoid robots or more, maybe 10. Isn't that great? Because here's the thing, robots are better than humans because robots don't breathe out CO2. And of course, somehow they miraculously get their energy without creating any CO2. And so, yeah, they don't, unlike cows, they don't fart either. So they're great.
Starting point is 01:29:22 And we're going to have maybe 10 of them, he says, for every human. Well, you know, it's interesting because when you look at in the U.S., how does that compare to cars? Well, if you look at the population of the U.S. and the number of cars, it works out to like 0.86 cars per American. But that's including children. So if you restrict that to adults, that works out to 1.15 cars per adult, slightly more than one car per adult. If you then look at licensed drivers that goes even higher, and if you look at cars per household, it goes to 1.8. cars per household. It goes to 1.8. So what is the future going to look like? You know, we can see these robots here in these factories. This is the digit robot and this is the one that has the weird articulation on the back of the leg that
Starting point is 01:30:22 you're gonna see here in a second when it turns around. It's kind of something that we already saw from that Charlie Shane science fiction the back of the leg that you can see here in a second when it turns around. It's kind of something that we already saw from that Charlie Sheen science fiction movie back in the 90s called The Arrival. These people would walk around like they were human and then they would stop and their knees would bend back in the opposite direction. And that's how you knew it was they could jump really far and have these insect-like legs. Well that's what this thing has. It's super creepy but that that's Digit, and they've got a lot of them, and they work in factories. There you go. They can replace you in the factory. So, what are
Starting point is 01:30:54 we bringing? What are we going through all this tariff that's going to destroy small businesses and farms and things like that? Oh, so that we can bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and guess what? The manufacturing is going to be done by robots. But we may wind up with digit robots like that, that we could wind up having one or two per household. Because when he talks about how he thinks it's going to move forward, he makes a lot of comparisons, Elon must have, to Tesla. He said, you know, the Tesla cars that we did, they're just a robot. He said, these robots have arms and legs instead of wheels. But other than that, he said, everything else that we've developed for our cars, the batteries,
Starting point is 01:31:37 the power electronics, the advanced motors, the gearboxes, the software, the AI interface, let's see, that's the issues that I have with it with it He said that all actually applies to humanoid robots. Just get them to walk Well, frankly that doesn't inspire confidence in me because I remember when Teslas first came out Steve Wozniak Who was a partner for Steve Jobs and beginning of Apple? He said I love my Tesla. He says, it's great to drive it, but he goes, don't use autopilot. That thing is trying to kill you. Well, are these things going to be trying to kill us? And, you know, when we look at the accident and death rate
Starting point is 01:32:15 of the Teslas, it also does not inspire confidence. But when we look at what he's talking about charging for them, and of course he always comes up a pine-in-the-sky technology stories and low balls the amount that's actually going to cost. He's now saying it costs twenty to thirty thousand dollars for a robot. Well if true that's way less than a Tesla. So you could have one or two of these for your family if you wanted it. I don't. As a matter of fact that was an article that was sent to me by Sam. This was sent to me by Sam. This was sent to me by Will, talking about the current state of where we aren't touches on the robots.
Starting point is 01:32:51 He says, �Our so-called government is cannibalizing itself. The executive branch bypasses Congress. Congress can't get anything of use accomplished, and the states are fighting the feds. Actually, Congress has abdicated its power. Abdicate its power to the executive branch. Abdicate its power to the bureaucracy, the deep state under the executive and so forth. He says it's a professional wrestling act and we suffer all the constant conflict. And he said it seems like it's getting worse than it did in the past. Yeah, it is going to get much worse. Hang on, because they're going to accelerate this. And that's what they've talked about. Peter
Starting point is 01:33:24 Thiel and these other people talking about accelerationism. We've got to accelerate the change. We've got to move fast. We've got to break things. And one of the things that they need to break is our society so they can build it back the way they want it. So it's basically the government thrashes around like a dying or wounded animal tearing up the ground around us until it dies. And on another note, have you seen the Trump commercial touting the return of the auto industry and new factories to the US? The clips show robots assembling cars.
Starting point is 01:33:50 Yeah, not human beings, just like the digit thing is working in a factory. He says maybe they will hire a few programmers and maintenance men to service these robots at best. That should create at least a few dozen jobs. This is a sick joke on the public. And of course, Elon Musk for the longest time talked about his, you know, he wanted to come up with completely automated Tesla factories, call them alien dreadnoughts, assembly lines. Not aliens in the sense that they're coming from a foreign country. Not alien, but kind of referring to alien as in
Starting point is 01:34:26 a sci-fi type of approach. And the dreadnought is just a kind of battleship, the biggest, baddest one that's out there. So he's an alien dreadnought. Well, it's going to be a completely robotic assembly line. So maybe in the future, instead of us talking about, well, is it made in America? Maybe the discussion, the dividing line will be, is it made by humans? Maybe that'll be the selling point. Should be. Should be. Because, as I said before, Bloomberg and Musk was in there at the very same time, funding
Starting point is 01:35:01 Andrew Yang, who wanted to come up with the thing that was going to pacify everybody that Bloomberg was talking about. So we don't come after them with guillotines. They give us a little bit of basic income. Universal welfare for everybody because they don't want you to have a job, don't want you to have a purpose. Well, this was sent by a listener when I said, when I was laughing about, who in the world would be the patron saint of bottom surgery?
Starting point is 01:35:28 And this was, this person said, well here's Marcy Bowers, who qualifies for that. I guess she does, she's not officially pronounced because they don't have an official church. But if they did have an official church, I'm sure she would be the patron saint of bottom surgery because they were talking about patron saints of transgenderism. And that's in a course that's being taught in more than one college, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 01:35:56 She is an American gynecologist and a surgeon who specializes in gender-affirming surgeries viewed as an innovator in gender confirmation and affirmation surgery. That's the way Wikipedia points out. Now she mutilates people for a living. She sterilizes people for a living. She does it for children as well. Currently she's president of WPATH and has served on the board of directors for both GLAD and the Transgender Law Center.
Starting point is 01:36:26 She's the first woman worldwide to hold a personal transgender history while performing transgender surgery. So she's a guy, evidently. Well, we're going to take a break and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about Gerald Slenty, the charges of anti-semitism and the Yemen drone strike that we just recently saw over the weekend. And as Trump was boasting about that as well, we'll be right back. So Do So So
Starting point is 01:37:54 So I'm gonna be a man. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, welcome back. And SVCat, thank you for the tip and for the kind words. I appreciate that. I wanted to cover this. This is from For Love of the Road, Ryan who did the coin, the really nice medallion that we sold out of and it went really, really quickly. I think it surprised everybody how quickly that went, but it was a really nice thing. He put that together,
Starting point is 01:38:59 donated that and it was just amazing. That really was a big help last month and he said I just wanted to share this with you and he said that there's some comments that people may said Manny is part of the reason why I made the coin and he's been asking for one for the last couple of years and so he had a comment that was left by Manny I believe this is on subscribe star and said, I've been a long time supporter of David. I think he's solid, funny, logical, most issues. Freedom, constitution, things like that, good on COVID and sanity and tyranny, but he has an issue with my position on Israel, he says, and what is happening there. His position, he says, they are God's covenant people and the land is
Starting point is 01:39:46 His and He gave it to the Jewish people. It's in the Bible. Israel is the only nation He ever made a covenant relationship with forever. All I hear is David, Gard, Tony, Gerald slamming Israel for genocide. How about hearing the other side? And I just have to say, you know, when Gerald Sente says, well, it's in the book. I don't believe the book. And so, you know, I understand Gerald's position. He's got a – he had a very difficult time when he was a child. He was in a Catholic school.
Starting point is 01:40:20 And this is not just a Catholic thing. This happens with anybody. You know, you have all the time, I'm seeing issues of people who are a youth pastor or a head pastor or something, and a church who are guilty of sexual assault against a child. Gerald was not sexually assaulted. She broke his eardrum and created all kinds of issues for him. And he's very angry about that because he sees, just as many people will see these people who are in positions of authority, whatever, Protestant church or Catholic church, they'll see the church instead of seeing Christ. And they'll get angry about that. If they got somebody who is
Starting point is 01:41:07 abusive to them or to other people and say, I don't have anything to do with Christianity. Well, that's fine. I don't want anything to do with Christianity either, really. But it's Christ that we want to have to do with. And when we put other things in front of and in place of Christ, then all of a sudden that church, you know, it's not Christ that we've got some relationship with, but it's that priest or that nun or that pastor or that youth group leader or that Sunday school teacher or whatever that we have the relationship with. And guess what? They're fallible. Some of them are criminal. And so we have to make that distinction and that discernment. And I say the same thing about Israel. You want to make sure that you don't have a relationship with Israel that takes the place of your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. They're not the same thing. Not the same thing.
Starting point is 01:42:06 same thing, not the same thing. And just as we have abusive people who take on the mantle of the church, and we have abusive criminal people who have taken on the mantle of Israel. And as I've said over and over again, this is a political war. This is a war for land. This is a war that should be held up to a just standard. And when we don't care what that just standard is, if all we care about is how we interpret a prophecy or how we interpret God's promise to them. And I just say this, you know, I've said this to Gerald several times, I do believe it. I do believe the Bible. I do believe what God says there about Israel and the land and Abraham, Abraham at the time,
Starting point is 01:42:54 and then he made him Abraham. I believe that, but what does that have to do with the genocide that is there? Does that excuse the genocide? And when we talk about Abraham, remember that God said, �I�m going to make, you know, your descendants will be like the stars of the sky.� And he�s old, and Sarah, his wife is old. And they�re looking at it and they�re saying, �Well, I don�t see this happening.� You know, God has promised us maybe we need to make this happen,
Starting point is 01:43:25 right? God helps those who help themselves. That's not in the Bible. Actually, Abraham's story says exactly the opposite. He decides that they decide that they're going to have her handmaid or slave or whatever, Hagar, who is an Egyptian, that he will have a child through her, because it isn't happening with Sarah. And then what happens with that is that Sarah gets angry, she gets kicked out, and the child, Ishmael, becomes the patriarch of the Arabs. And so you see how that has backfired.
Starting point is 01:44:11 That has backfired for them in a big way. You have the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel say, yes, God gave us the land, and God will miraculously give it to us again. Took them off the land, gave them the land, took them off more than once, and He will miraculously restore it to them. And they don't want to be a part of the army. They don't want to be a part of these wars. And I ask, why do Christians want to be a part of this genocide?
Starting point is 01:44:41 Both sides want to completely eradicate the other side. They both want to kill every single one of the other side. It's the Hufffields and McCoys taking up to a genocide level is what we're seeing there. I don't want to be a part of either of those and I'm not going to excuse that on either side. We should never call for that. That is never justified. And we have principles as I've said before. A Just War Principle was an attempt by Augustine and other Christian thinkers to say if we're going to have a state and one of the key functions of a state is to keep peace and order, ideally if the state was doing its job well, that would be what it would
Starting point is 01:45:26 limit itself to. Creating a fair playing field, taking care of people who are not going to abide by that, who are harming other people, and that is domestically, but it also is across the borders when there is a war. And so when somebody invades your country, you want to have the ability to fight back and defend yourself and to defend innocent life. And we have a duty to defend innocent life. But when does that war stop? And what is the purpose? And under what conditions should we have a war? Well, it means that first of all, there has to be an aggression against us. Secondly, we should try to avoid civilian casualties.
Starting point is 01:46:08 Third, we should try to end this as soon as possible. There's some other aspects of it as well that you would do a calculation and say, well, there's absolutely no way that we can win this. I mean, if you want to take you and because you're upset about the federal government and because everything that does is against the Constitution they swore to defend. If you and five other guys want to go to Washington declare war on Washington, that's not really under a just war. You're going to get those people killed in yourself as well, most likely. And so you have to look at something and say, is it justified? And is there a chance for success? That's why I mentioned that, give that example.
Starting point is 01:46:45 Is there a reasonable chance for success? And as I said before, that's why Robert E. Lee surrendered when he did. He could have continued with a guerrilla war, and that might have, over decades, been successful, as we have seen in Afghanistan, and as in Iraq, and you know, Vietnam, and all you know, all the different wars that we've lost. It's been a sustained guerrilla warfare. So he probably could have won that. But he did not believe that it was justified. And I've got to say that when Christians justify genocide of one side against the other, and
Starting point is 01:47:20 denouncing the other side's claims, you know, desire for genocide. Look, this is, both sides want genocide. Understand that. And when you cheer for genocide, the pagans look at what you're doing and it discredits Christ. It really does. It's a reproach on Christ, because that's not what he is about. And you have to understand that just as Paul talked to the Corinthians, he said, you're engaged in sexual immorality that even the pagans don't do.
Starting point is 01:47:57 What are you doing? You say that you're free to do this? Yeah, you have liberty, but not for this. And so we have to understand that sometimes Christians can get involved in things because they talk themselves into it. Oh, look, you know, Christ has forgiven my sins, so I can do anything that I want to. Well, no, that's not right. God has given the land to Israel so they can do whatever they wish to anybody that they
Starting point is 01:48:21 wish to keep that land and to expand it or whatever. No, that's not right either. We have to understand that not only are we becoming, are we partnering with something that is heinous, not only are we putting some institution and some people in the place of God as many people do. They say, well, this is an abuse. It was done by somebody that was affiliated with the church. It was done by a nun or whatever.
Starting point is 01:48:47 So I don't want to have anything to do with Christ or the Bible. Don't make that mistake. And when we look at what is happening in Israel and we talk about Zionism, is it anti-Semitism or is it anti-Netanyahuism? Again, it's not just the ultra-orthodox. They're on the verge of a civil war in Israel itself because of the policies of a politician, Netanyahu. I will never cheer the actions of a foreign politician, especially one who is desiring to shut down free speech in our country. Yes, in a war, free speech is the first casualty.
Starting point is 01:49:26 They start censoring people about everything. Israel is trying to censor free speech in our country. And any discussion of what the policies are that Netanyahu has, that is immediately labeled anti-Semitism and terrorism. No. It is political criticism. And that must be free in our country. And that's why I will not remain silent about this. I don't want to get involved in their tribal warfare. You know, God can work that out. I think they're wrong to target civilians and to continue to do it. They're not going to stop. They're going to continue to do it. I think that's wrong. I think that's immoral. And I've spoken out against that, but also speak out against the fact that they want to destroy the legal foundation of our country, the First Amendment.
Starting point is 01:50:15 So one person responded to him on this. This is what Ryan sent me, the back and forth person responded and said, �So where can you find any news that you can actually trust coming from that region? This is SL, wrote that. So remember back in the day when everyone was outraged because Assad supposedly gassed his own people? That turned out to be totally fake. I've seen numerous videos of Palestinians who are supposed to be dead, but somehow they're moving.
Starting point is 01:50:40 Or you see them walking to their designated spots and then laying down and pretending to be dead for a photo op. I don't see Jewish people dressing their children, we're talking about babies here, less than two years old, with suicide vests and taking photos of them. I've never seen a Jew do that. I haven't seen any Jews do suicide vests either as adults. But he said, at the same time, I think it's treasonous for a sitting member of Congress to have dual citizenship with Israel and to shut down our First Amendment at the behest
Starting point is 01:51:10 of a foreign political leader. Say don't you criticize my policy, Netanyahu's policy, then you are criticizing Israel itself and you are anti-Semitic and you are a terrorist to boot. You're on their side. You're with them. You know, it's the George W. Bush nonsense again. Well, again, I would say, who can you actually trust? I just say this.
Starting point is 01:51:34 You don't trust any news media organization because of who it is. Everything that somebody says, including me, you should evaluate it. I'll tell you what I think and I'll tell you why I think it. I'm not like Newsweek or Time or CBS or whatever. This is the way that, you know, that's the way it is, you know, that type of thing. I don't tell you that this is the truth and I don't pretend to be objective. I would never trust anybody who pretends that they are objective. Either they're fooling themselves or they're fooling you. So take a look at what people say. I prefer to have people who give me opinions and who tell me why they think this or that,
Starting point is 01:52:14 rather than the people who pretend to be objective and disinterested. There's no such thing. And I would also say that, you know, just as we're starting to see with some of this tariff stuff, they, you know, some opposition will come out there from people who I would never agree with. But on this particular issue, and they may have, they may be telling the truth because they want to use that to take you to a place that you don't want to go, but we take what they say on a spot-by-spot basis. So you can even have foreign political leaders that can tell you the truth about
Starting point is 01:52:45 these tariffs now. Or they can tell you the truth about something else and you don't want to trust them for anything, and you just take it issue by issue, point by point. So anyway, Ryan says, I think it would be good to hear other sides on different issues. He said people on both sides, Jews and Palestinians, supporting the genocide of each other. Exactly right. The hatred some of them have for the other side is tremendous and we're never going to fix that. And so, you know, SL said, I think we ought to just stay out of their wars and that's the key thing, it's their war. It's for them to make the case that it is justified or not. It is ours to make the case for peace.
Starting point is 01:53:29 Which brings us back to Gerald Solenty. You know, this is not his first rodeo, it's not his first war. He went to the mat to warn people about Afghanistan and all of the fervor and froth that followed immediately after the 9-11 false flags. 9-11 was an inside job. I'm not going to debate with you how it was done. I honestly don't know. But honestly know that it didn't, that three buildings did not fall into the footprint and disintegrate after two of them were hit by planes. Two buildings were hit by planes, three fell in their footprint disintegrating. I mean that would be
Starting point is 01:54:12 ridiculous in and of itself, but the fact that it was two planes and three buildings, that's even more obvious as to what that is. But in the froth of all of that, Gerald Salenti opposed the war because he knew what was true and not a principle. You know, he talks all the time about ZZ and Honey Boy and the book that he wrote. And we talked about that on Friday. Some people who listened to the show, I'm sorry, I forgot the name, they said, we got
Starting point is 01:54:41 your book, got it, got a sign, copy your book. I don't know if he sells that at the website or not. I do know that Trent's journal is an honest assessment. He works very hard to look at a lot of different opinions and to give you an honest assessment of what he thinks. You can agree with him or disagree with him, but he is going to tell you the honest truth as he sees it. Now people are throwing labels at him of being anti-Semitic because that's the way they respond to any criticism. They don't want debate on the right. Just like the left doesn't want debate on the left.
Starting point is 01:55:16 You try to engage the left on a topic and what do they do? They scream at you and call you racist. And that's what the people who support a carte blanche for Israel, let's call them Zionists because that's what they call themselves I think. Anyway, that's what they do on their side. You question what they're saying. Oh, well, you are anti-Semitic. And you don't believe the Bible and you don't believe that God gave Israel the land. It's like, no, that isn't either. I believe that God will fulfill His promises in His time and in His way. And I think it's not a good thing for us to get in His way, to do it in our time. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:56:00 Now, this, as he pointed out every time he talks about it, he says, yeah, they made it into a movie, ZZN, Honey Boy, and unfortunately it ran into production problems because the star died, but they did still release the film. So, I said, let me look for it on Friday. I saw that. And so, I looked to see if I could find it. I didn't find the film, but I found this trailer for the film and a brief interview with a guy who stars in it who is at a film festival. All of this was brought upon us in a single day. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. We're gonna lose in Afghanistan. Tell the network guys, I said that. I'm not anti-American.
Starting point is 01:56:48 I love my country. The only thing that matters at the end is how you lived your life. What's it about? It's based on a New York Times bestselling author's life. He was really hot in the 90s. He was on all these shows. He was a trend forecaster, so he used to predict these trends in the news and they would come to pass. And he predicted after 9-11 that we were going to lose in Afghanistan and he was blackballed.
Starting point is 01:57:27 He was on all these shows, Oprah and every talk show you could imagine and then he was completely blackballed. So the story takes place from when his life has hit rock bottom and the only person he has in his life is his aging sage-like aunt played by Doris Roberts and she kind of rescues him from his darkest moment. So what made you want to take on this story? Well, it's based on a book of essays. And when I read the book, I really connected with how rich the characters were and the dynamic of the relationship between
Starting point is 01:58:05 Gerald the main character and his aunt played by Doris Yeah, so you know when you look at this He was called anti-american Because he opposed the Afghanistan war It was wrong. It was unwinnable He's called anti-semitic because he opposes what's going on in Gaza It's wrong Gerald is not anti-american. He's not anti-israel. He's anti-war
Starting point is 01:58:35 He's for peace That's his principle. And how would you feel? if you studied this and in your honest opinion you see what is coming. I've known Gerald for a long time and I've never seen him more consistently depressed as well as angry for what he sees coming. Imagine you see this and it's a slow motion walk to war, including our country, death and destruction. And even if it's not coming to our country, you don't like to see it happening somewhere else. Do you think that might cause you to have rage
Starting point is 01:59:19 that you see with Gerald Sollenty? Yeah. I mean, how would you not be angry about something like that? And so when he talks about it, one of the reasons he gets into the ethnic thing is because that's what people want to use as an excuse for these crimes and to drag us into a further war. That's why I always say, so what are we talking about when we're talking about Israel? Are we talking about whoever the ruling party is, and now we can switch back and forth real quickly? Now Israel is this. Now Israel is that. Is it about ethnicity? Is it about prophecy or whatever? What is it that we're talking about? Is it about a religion because there's a lot of different strains of the Judaism that are there
Starting point is 02:00:09 You know Orthodox ultra-orthodox all the rest of stuff. So what is it that we're talking about when we talk about Israel? When you say Israel you may mean something completely different than what I mean or what Gerald Slenty means and So I would just say, you know, when we talk about this, to me, I'm coming at it from a different place than Gerald. Gerald doesn't believe the book. He's not a person of the book, of any of these books, as Huckabee would say. And I say that with regret, because Gerald Slenty has been a real friend. Sorry. So, the appropriate thing is to pray for Gerald. The appropriate thing is to think critically about politics, but pray for him on a personal basis. We're gonna take a break and I'll be right back. I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a
Starting point is 02:01:46 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 02:02:02 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 02:02:18 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, the David Nutz Show. Well welcome back. The Hooties downed another US MQ-9, that's the Reaper drone, amid US airstrikes on Yemen. And so, within 72 hours, they shot down yet another drone. These
Starting point is 02:03:08 things are 30 million dollars apiece. Where is Doge? Where is Elon Musk in all of this? The poorest nation on earth and they're shooting down our 30 million dollar drones. And what are we doing with the drones? Well, also over the weekend, we had this clip put out by Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, I'll show you the before and then I'll show you the after. This is a picture. Now a lot of people said, this is what you just blew up. We see an aerial picture of people arranged in a large, I guess I'd say a large rectangle with rounded edges, of course, as people pull this thing in, they're not going to do square.
Starting point is 02:03:50 But it's a large rectangle with a person in the center talking to them. Now what is that? Is that a meaning for a battle? No, that's a picture of somebody, a group of people in Yemen, they're Muslims, they're doing EID. And that's something they do this time of year around Ramadan. I really don't know. But it's EID, okay? So they're having a religious ceremony there.
Starting point is 02:04:17 Think about it like an open air religious service. Now Trump shows a, and I'm going to show this to you in a second, shows an aerial shot of a group that's laid out in exactly that same kind of configuration and they drop a massive bomb and you see smoke and flame and everything after that dies down they zoom in and you can see a crater and you can see remnants of somebody's laying around and thing. And Trump tweets, uh-oh, looks like they're not going to be attacking our ships anymore. And a lot of people came out and said, you just destroyed a group of people who are meeting
Starting point is 02:04:57 for EID. And other people came out and said, well, look at the two pictures. And the one picture, this is not the same group of people because the cars are in different places and that's true. That is not, you know, that picture that I just showed there, the EID gathering, that is not the same group of people that had the bomb dropped on them. But let me just ask you, would this be the way that you would conduct a military meeting to have this kind of configuration? Does that make any sense that you would get out in the open and in a very, very large
Starting point is 02:05:35 circle and you would have some guy in the middle and he would be telling you battle plans? No, you would group together, right? Get close together. You would huddle close together. That is the kind of configuration that you would have in an open air religious ceremony like EID. So even though that picture, that specific picture, is not the picture of the group of the people who were there because of the car layouts around the perimeter. It is another one of that kind. And I believe that they
Starting point is 02:06:06 dropped a bomb on a religious group that was meeting as part of EID, and they're boasting about taking out terrorists, and they're boasting about their mass murder of innocent people. I'm not sure that we can trust our government. Everything that the CIA has told us since 2001 has been a lie. And it doesn't matter who's in the White House. In August 2015, the White House killed 424 people. That was Obama. They've never been charged with a crime.
Starting point is 02:06:41 Obama did that. They've never faced their accusers in court. They've never had their day to explain themselves. We're just supposed to take the CIA's word for it that these are bad people. One of my attorneys is representing a drone whistleblower right now. And he told me recently that he was operating his drone from a basin. I think it was Nevada or New Mexico. He's connected by radio and the guy in CENTCOM says,
Starting point is 02:07:06 you see the target? Launch. And the guy said, I can't launch. There's a child next to him. And the guy at CENTCOM said, it's not a child, it's a goat. And he said, man, I'm looking at it. It's a child. And he told him, launch launch but the guy said I couldn't launch that thing and he didn't well now he's facing court-martial and possibly other charges including a dishonorable discharge for refusing to kill a child I mean is this really where we want our country to be have we so turned our backs on civil liberties in September 11th in the name of national security? It was a child where Americans were better than that and it's not too late to turn this thing around
Starting point is 02:07:56 Yeah about that And so now you know, I was showing clips there at the beginning of it. You've got You know, maybe there were children in that but it was actually tweeted out by a large child, Donald Trump, boasting about how they won't be attacking us. Well, isn't that great? �Our air defenses successfully shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone while it was carrying out hostile missions in the airspace using a suitable locally made missile," said the Yemeni Armed Forces, poorest country in the
Starting point is 02:08:31 world. And we're having difficulty with that. We need to tone down the belligerence. Even from a self-preservation standpoint, we need to tone it down. You forget about the morality, just some pragmatics of it. If you can't defeat Yemen and we've lost one war after the other. The incident marked the 16th US drone, MQ-9 drone, Reaper drone, that has been shot down by the Houthis since October 2023.
Starting point is 02:09:03 Each of the MQ-9 Reaper drones cost the US about 30 million. So if the Huthies number is accurate, that means that the US has lost $480 million worth of drones. 16 of them in 18 months. That's about one per month. But this last week, we had one per 72 hours. Had two of them shot down in 72 hours. So the question is, why can't our genius Pentagon defend its drones?
Starting point is 02:09:33 And the other question is, how does our Pentagon defend its actions and how it uses these drones? You want to talk about a just war? You want to talk about how we have gotten from the standpoint of it was prohibited to attack civilian populations. We wore uniforms for that very purpose to make sure that we left civilians alone. And then we get to the point where we bomb civilians and now we're to the point where we assassinate using drones. John Kiriakou, CIA whistleblower, he blew the whistle about
Starting point is 02:10:06 the torture that was being done by the CIA. He was in the CIA, was in the CIA. He blew the whistle on the CIA torture being done by Gina Haspel that lied us into the Iraq War. Lies about weapons of mass destruction obtained by torture by Gina Haspel. Gina Haspel was then promoted to the head of the CIA by Donald Trump. We've had Obama, as he pointed out at the beginning of that, you know, 424 people killed in August of 2015. Who was president then? Well, that was Obama. And if you remember, he boasted about how, turns out I'm really good at killing people. He doesn't care about this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 02:10:49 Trump and Hegseth and Mike Waltz and all these people that are involved in this Signal Gate thing, they don't care about innocent people, civilians either. Matter of fact, they pull the trigger on Yemen and then they go to eat at a million dollar a plate fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago and yuck it up. That drone operator who refused to kill the child that he could clearly see, that drone operator can live with himself, regardless of what happens.
Starting point is 02:11:24 He can be proud of what he did. He would not have been able to live with himself if he had pulled the trigger. So just a few hours before the Houthis announced that they had downed another Reaper drone, Trump claimed that the Yemeni group had, quote, been decimated by relentless strikes over the past two weeks. He brags about this as some people said, you know, we used to have to have whistleblowers and WikiLeaks to show war crimes like the collateral murder crime showing people on a C-130 shooting journalists, shooting an ambulance from afar.
Starting point is 02:12:08 The journalists are clearly carrying cameras and they open fire on them. Then when the ambulance shows up, they wait and they're talking about it. You see them putting on the ambulance and you see it clearly marked and then they shoot the ambulance up with the sick people inside and all the civilians around it. That's why they're coming after WikiLeaks so hard, because WikiLeaks released that, showing their war crimes. Other people said, well, we used to have to have WikiLeaks for the war crimes. Now we've got a president who's proud of his war crimes, dropping a bomb on a group of
Starting point is 02:12:41 civilians meeting for a religious thing. So Dave Stockman, David Stockman, who I've interviewed, says who gives two hoots about the Houthis? Well certainly not Trump, except to boast about murders like Obama did back in 2015. But David Stockman is talking about the economic effects for the most part. Last week he said we noted the ascension to NATO of the Balkan Five, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, and the Baltic Three, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. He said it amounts to some kind of a bad joke. Their combined military forces total just 66,000 servicemen, which
Starting point is 02:13:26 is exactly equal to the combined police forces of New York City, Chicago, LA and Philadelphia. Because by the way, we have a standing army here in the US. If you combine all the police officers that we've got and get a total on that, that would be the third largest army in the world. And it's a standing army standing on us for the most part. Anyway, he said, their combined defense budgets of these countries that just joined NATO are $8 billion annually, or about the level that the Pentagon spends every seven hours. So yay, that's great. We've got these people in. That's not what it's about at all, right?
Starting point is 02:14:12 But he says when it comes to economic heft, their collective GDP is a diminutive $350 billion, just 1.3% of the U.S. GDP. So we rightly asked, why bother? Their military manpower, their token defense budgets, their rounding-error GDPs do not have even remote relevance to the standing, to standing up to America's triad strategic nuclear deterrent, which doesn't require any foreign bases or allies in any case. Why is that there? It's for the benefit of the military industrial Why is that there? It's for the benefit of the military industrial complex. We have all the defense that we need with a nuclear triad, but we've got to get involved in all these wars.
Starting point is 02:14:52 Why? Because the military industrial complex needs it. And why do we have these small countries there? We need to have them because we need to have trigger wires to get us involved in other wars. We need to have them there because perhaps we can use them as a surrogate to attack our geopolitical competitors. He says, they don't contribute a whit to invincible conventional military fortress of America defense of airspace. They don't contribute to the defense of the shorelines of the US homeland way over here
Starting point is 02:15:26 on the far side of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. So why are we fighting all of this stuff? Why are we fighting a tiny country like Yemen for the benefit of the Saudis and Israelis? Ann Coulter expressed it more colorfully, says David Stockman. She said, Right now his foreign policy team is looking like John Bolton without the ridiculous Wolford-Brimley mustache. Since Trump keeps hiring these people, it's a good time to remind him that in 2016, he won more primary votes than any Republican in U.S. history, as well as the election,
Starting point is 02:15:58 by saying things like this about a war that had a million more justifications than his recent bombings of the Houthis. like this about a war that had a million more justifications than his recent bombings of the Houthis. He said, obviously the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake. We spent two trillion dollars, thousands of lives. George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the Middle East. So then what did he do? Was it a mistake for him to put Gina Haspel on his head
Starting point is 02:16:29 of the CIA, or was it deliberate? Was he just telling you what you wanted to hear and then doing the same thing that George W. Bush does, except pretending that he is the opposite of George W. Bush? And Coulter says, so why does Trump keep surrounding himself with ten-horned cowboys who think it's America's responsibility to drone, bomb, invade, occupy other countries whenever and for whatever reason they want? Well, the answer is obviously that he's a wrecking ball. The answer is obviously
Starting point is 02:16:59 that he was selected and put in place for this very thing? The answer is that he doesn't believe a word that he tells you. It's simply to gain your trust. Trust the plan. Trust is the plan. The Houthi tribes, who profess a variant of Shiite Islam, have generally ruled North Yemen during the long expanse after it was established in 1918 until the two Yemenis were reunified in 1990. So when a Washington-installed government was overthrown there and the uneasily unified nation of Yemen disintegrated into warring religious factions, the Houthi took power
Starting point is 02:17:40 in northern Yemen, while Sunni tribes, aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda, held sway in the south. Well we can't have Al-Qaeda there, right? Except who were we flying air support missions for with A-10 warthogs in Syria? Oh, that was Al-Qaeda, who is now massacring the Alawite ethnic group as well as Christians in Syria. Al-Qaeda, you know, the boogeyman that is on our side. Just like Hamas, funded by Netanyahu and used by... We do the same thing with Al-Qaeda.
Starting point is 02:18:23 Folks, I'm not getting... I'm never going to support these wars. Never. You shouldn't support them either. Don't let them get you confused. This Houthi remnant of the failed state of Yemen are not a threat to anybody who's mining their own business. They have no blue water Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no regular army. Just some odds and coastal patrol boats and short-range drones and missiles. But they can shoot down a reaper drone each month. Isn't that interesting? The Houthi rule is not the entire sovereign country of Yemen, but roughly 25% of former Yemen territory.
Starting point is 02:19:09 Given that the GDP of the entirety of Yemen is only $20 billion in 2024, he said, why under Houthi control our trusty AI Grok III estimates that in their wisdom, Trump's purported America firsters were bombing some desert salience which generate a mere $6-8 billion worth of GDP annually. So this is a small fraction, the entire country, $20 billion. This is a small breakaway area of it, Let's say roughly $6 billion. You know, the Tennessee gross domestic product is $422 billion. This area of Yemen is $6 billion. 70 times the GDP in Tennessee, take Texas for example, Texas is pretty big, they have a GDP of $2.7 trillion. They have a GDP of $2.7 trillion. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 02:20:05 So quite a bit bigger than Tennessee. 450 times bigger than Yemen. So why are we messing with Yemen? We're being drug into these conflicts, not even by foreign countries, but by our own military industrial complex and the CIA, which is what runs this government. That's our government. Wake up. It's not Republicans and Democrats. It's not Trump. Trump kills people the same way as Obama did, boasts about it the same way Obama did, actually more so. He says, David Sackman says, so no ensuring the freedom of navigation of the Red Sea doesn't have
Starting point is 02:20:47 a thing to do with Yemen. In 2023, about 8.7 billion, I'm sorry, 8.7 million barrels per day of crude oil and refined products flowed through the strait, the southern Red Sea strait where they are. Almost all of that went to Europe. And the tiny 500,000 barrels per day of Persian Gulf oil that went to the US, which is 1% of the US energy consumption, could be readily replaced by domestic production anyway if the government would get its foot off the hose that they're currently stomping on. Not anything remotely related to the national security of the American homeland. would get its foot off the hose.
Starting point is 02:21:25 Not anything remotely related to the national security of the American homeland. The container ship trade is even more irrelevant. Overwhelming share of US-destined goods from China, South Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere in the Far East, upwards of up to $600 billion per year, arrive here via the Pacific coast and the Panama Canal routes to eastern USA. Now I thought we were supposed to get rid of trade anyway, right? I mean wouldn't the Yemenis be our allies and Donald Trump was wanting to stop all trade to the US? Except that it's not anything that we really... it's only 1% of
Starting point is 02:22:03 our oil supplies anyway We're there spending phenomenal amounts of money and Elon Musk doesn't care. Doge doesn't care Trump doesn't care and We're fighting that in order to keep trade freely flowing Which on the other hand? Trump wants to push the war of the world into a global trade war while we are bombing Yemen in the name of free trade. Does any of this make any sense to you? Well, if we understand where these people are coming from, it makes perfectly good sense. Yes, it is contradictory, but we understand where they're coming from.
Starting point is 02:22:41 There is no economic case for attempting to bomb the Red Sea into freedom of navigation. And he doesn't say this, but I'll say it. There is no moral case for this either. The Red Sea is not the Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of America. And it's not Long Island Sound. It's not the Gulf of Catalina. That means that the Houthis' only real offense is attempting to blockade ships heading to Israel in retaliation for Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza.
Starting point is 02:23:13 And so that would be Jerusalem's business to do something about it, not Washington's, right? The U.S. Navy has not been hired by the UN, has not been hired by Israel. Well maybe I guess we could say it has been hired by Israel if you count the contributions to our politicians. Or any other global body to safeguard every sea line on the planet from the Suez Canal to the Straits of Hormuz and the Straits of Malacca. And he says, nor should it be. Between 2012 and 2018 Netanyahu gave Qatar approval to transfer a cumulative
Starting point is 02:23:48 sum of nearly a billion dollars to Gaza in the form of suitcases full of cash. And at least half of that is estimated to have reached Hamas, including the military wing. You see, while we use our al-Qaeda surrogates, going back, Mujahideen, we used them against Russia. And you had John McCain going to Republican women's groups saying, support a Muj. You want to sponsor a Muj? Right? Here's a, I brought with me a Mujahideen guy. Look at him. You can, there's more of him over there, and you guys can adopt a Muj. Just, just give us money for that war there. The Moosh of Hadin became Al-Qaeda, which became ISIS, which became Al-Nusra, which
Starting point is 02:24:32 became this, and I've forgotten the name, the new name, the new alias that they've got. You know, isn't that always interesting? You've got somebody who's got multiple aliases, maybe they're up to something. Or maybe the CIA is up to something when they give multiple names to these organizations and when they give them money and Netanyahu is doing the same thing with Hamas. They haven't changed the name, but that's a big part of what's going on in the Civil War there, what they call Cuttergate. The Jerusalem Post writes in a private meeting with members of his Likud party on March 11,
Starting point is 02:25:07 2019, Netanyahu explained the reckless step as follows. �The money transfer is part of the strategy to divide the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone who opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support the transfer of the money from Qatar to Hamas,� he said. �And that way we will foil the establishment of the money from Qatar to Hamas," he said. And that way we will foil the establishment of a Palestinian state. As reported in former cabinet member Haim Ramon's Hebrew language book, Naged Haruk, if I'm pronouncing that correctly,
Starting point is 02:25:38 Jerusalem Post goes on to say in an interview with UNET News website, I don't know again, that's Y-N-E-T, on May the 5th, 2019 Netanyahu associate, a major general in the reserves, said, we need to tell the truth. Netanyahu's strategy is to prevent the option of two states. So he is turning Hamas into his closest ally, his closest partner. Bring in Hamas, they're crazy, they're dangerous, they're murderous, and we can use them as an excuse to completely wipe this out.
Starting point is 02:26:13 If we bring in somebody reasonable, we'll wind up with a two-state solution. We don't want that. We want to unleash a dangerous group there. So we have an excuse to bomb and to keep on bombing. And they say, well, we just can't get them, so we just have to keep killing civilians. Openly, going back to the Jerusalem Post, openly Hamas is an enemy, he said, but covertly it's an ally. He said, we need to tell the truth. Well, that would be a refreshing change, wouldn't it? Netanyahu himself, going back to David Stockman,
Starting point is 02:26:50 was widely quoted as saying during the aforementioned meeting of Likud's MKs that, quote, whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support delivery of funds to Gaza. That came in the form of cash and suitcases. Because maintaining separation between the Palestinian Authority and the West Bank and Hamas and Gaza will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. It's kind of what they do with us with Republican versus Democrat, isn't it? Divide and conquer. Well, while all this is playing out,
Starting point is 02:27:26 as we pointed out last week, at the end of the week, bakeries closing as flour supplies run out due to Israeli blockade. They saddled the people in Gaza with Hamas because they wanted to have an enemy that was there, and because they wanted to pit Hamas against the PA, Palestinian Authority. So this is starvation, and this is why we say genocide.
Starting point is 02:27:52 And of course, Hamas, they picked Hamas, the group that wants to kill all Israelis, they picked them for that purpose as well. Yeah, so we gotta kill them before they kill us, type of thing, let's put them in place, and then we So we've got to kill them before they kill us, type of thing. Let's put them in place and then we'll have an opportunity to go to war. And we've seen this over and over again. FDR did that with us to get us into World War II.
Starting point is 02:28:14 They always love to get us into jeopardy so they can do this type of thing. All bakeries in Gaza have been forced to close as flour and other supplies are running out due to Israeli blockade, Starvation of blockade. UN's World Food Program circulated a memo to aid groups on Monday saying it could no longer operate the 19 bakeries it was operating due to a lack of supply. Six other bakeries had previously closed. That's 25 of them total. had previously closed, so that's 25 of them total. And then we see this story. A religious Zionist settlers savagely assault Palestinian Oscar winner for exposing their crimes. He did a documentary. Now whether or not you agree with him, I would just remind you that God's ways are not our ways.
Starting point is 02:29:05 His ways are higher than ours, as high, much higher as the heaven is above the earth. This is not His way. These people, in spite of a lot of Christian pastors who have told you they are Amalekites, they are not Amalekites. You don't have God's license to kill. You don't have God's license to kill. You don't have that. After winning an Academy Award for documentary film on Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, Palestinian director Hamdan Balal was attacked by what his colleagues described
Starting point is 02:29:37 as a lynch mob of massed Israeli settlers last week at his home in the besieged region. Following what was described as a horrific assault, the Israeli military personnel who were present denied him medical attention from an ambulance transport which arrived at the scene and instead arrested him, taking him into custody with two others for reasons that were unclear. He is one of four directors of the film No Other Land, which won an Oscar for best documentary feature in early March, despite its being banned by every US distributor. Again, when you censor,
Starting point is 02:30:18 that doesn't help to win the argument. Usually backfires. And attacking people like this usually backfires as well. And we should not applaud these tactics. They will be used here. I mean, do we applaud the tactics of people setting fire to Tesla station burning up property and so on? No, we don't. Why would we applaud this? If this guy is a liar, if he is hateful, is this the appropriate response? Even to that? No, it's not.
Starting point is 02:30:51 It's not. Palestinians in the village have been under a physical attack by settlers almost daily. The settlers' violence is increasing here. Maybe it's revenge for the movie and for the Oscar. He said the police were there from the beginning and they did not intervene. While the soldiers were pointing their weapons at us, the settlers started attacking the houses of the Palestinians.
Starting point is 02:31:12 Hamdan tried to protect his family and the settlers attacking him. Soldiers started shooting in the air to prevent anyone from helping Hamdan. He was shouting for help. They let the settlers attack him and then the army abducted him. You know, so when you look at this, what do we say about the Christians who like at the
Starting point is 02:31:35 stoning of Stephen? Stand on the side and hold the cloaks of the people who are doing the stoning, because that's what we do when we justify genocide. Now the guy who held the cloaks was Saul, who eventually became Paul. There isn't anything that the Lord Jesus Christ cannot overcome. Even a hard heart like that. So again, we need to pray for people that they would have their lives affected by Christ, that they would have regeneration by Christ.
Starting point is 02:32:11 But to take this into our own hands and more importantly, those of us who have been, who have a relationship with Christ, who have been regenerated, who have a heart and eyes to see and ears to hear, we can sin as well. We can applaud these tactics and these measures and even pagans can see the sin that is involved in that. We're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back. Had somebody request a song that had the clapping in it. This is actually my arrangement of Unsquare Dance. It was a song that was written by Dave Brubeck. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show.
Starting point is 02:33:36 Well welcome back. Let's talk a little bit about some of the tech stuff that is coming up, but I have some comments here and some tips. Thank you very much for the tips. On a kick, Heron's holler says, �We�re all battling the tyranny happening. I�ve cried most days since 2020.� Sometimes you need someone to blame after we�ve lost most of our friends and family. It�s easy to blame the entity that is supposed to save us. Where is he? Yeah, that's one of the things that
Starting point is 02:34:05 we need to always ask about God when we go through difficult times. The question is not why me? Where are you? Why aren't you helping me? But the appropriate answer is what are you teaching me here? That's what we need to pay attention to. What is God teaching us through adversity? Adversity is a great teacher. It's not a pleasant thing. And so what is God trying to teach us? Is there something in our life that we needed to purge that we didn't get rid of?
Starting point is 02:34:36 And is He disciplining us for that? Or is He preparing us for something else that is coming or to be able to help other people? We don't understand why God is doing what he's doing, but we do know that one way or the other he's trying to teach us something, right? Whether it's preparation or whether it's chastening or something like that. On Rumble, DG8, thank you for the tip, he says, as long as people see the left-right paradigm nothing will change. That illusion has to be destroyed before anything changes.
Starting point is 02:35:06 Democrat versus Republican is a prison cell for fools. We have basically the Neo-GOP, is what I'd call them, I guess. Just like we got Neo-Conservatives, we now got the Neo-GOP, or maybe we just shorten it up. Call them the Neo-P. The Republicans are Democrats of my youth. As a matter of fact, the Republicans today are the Democrats of only about 10 years ago.
Starting point is 02:35:33 The Trump, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, these are your saviors. They were Democrats. They don't share any values of limited government whatsoever. None whatsoever. They didn't take the values of limited government whatsoever, none whatsoever. They didn't take the red pill, folks. The Republicans didn't take the red pill, neither did these Democrats. Instead, they were told that they were red and they said, oh, okay. They were told then that the left will call them woke, we'll call you red, even though
Starting point is 02:36:00 that's the color of communism, we'll call the left woke, even though they're not, even though they're Marxists, as I said, the other Democrat Party has become the Marxist Party of my youth. Throw in unbridled debauchery and child abuse and the rest of that stuff and you got the Democrat Party. Marxism plus debauchery and child abuse. That's it. And then you look at the Republicans and it's the old Democrats who were big government bribery and debauchery as well. The Epstein group, like R.K. Jr., Donald Trump.
Starting point is 02:36:33 Well, there you go. The NEOP. Let's see, also on here, Rumble, Nuburu, 2029. Führer Trump's global population reduction agenda hasn't changed since he began it in 2020. War, bombings, merely other variations on the same theme. Yeah, you know, Paul Ehrlich wrote the population bomb saying we've got too many people, we've got to do something to reduce the world's population. He wrote that
Starting point is 02:37:00 before the first Earth Day in the late 1960s and when he spoke he said, you know, war is a great way to decrease the population, but even better, we can have a plague or something like that. So we're even better than that. We can make the plague and lock everybody down and force them to inject the plague. How about that?
Starting point is 02:37:18 That's the best plan of all, isn't it? For population reduction. Marky Mark, thank you for the tip. He said, why was Gerald Slenty blackball for speaking the obvious? History shows that the UK and USSR, both great military powers in their own right lost in Afghanistan.
Starting point is 02:37:34 Why would the US fare any better? Yeah, that's right. And yet, of course, it wasn't even his opposition, his opposition to Afghanistan was just the MacGuffin du jour. Right? Ah, we got 9-11, and we got Afghanistan. Don't you oppose those, and don't you oppose the war with Iraq? If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists.
Starting point is 02:37:58 You know, you're for us, they're against us, that type of thing. And then, you know, we see this repeated over and over again. You can't oppose them on climate, because that's their agenda. You can't oppose them on the pandemic. You can't oppose them on Israel. You can't oppose the Israeli politics. Again, whatever it is, they'll find some way to get to you. And again, as I said earlier in the program,
Starting point is 02:38:19 they will find some way to do lawfare against you. And over and over again, this is increasingly the case it's going to be copyright stuff. That's the way they've come after me over and over again. Let's see, have we got any more there? I think there's another one right there. No, that's about Kick. Tell people about Kick again because now I know your microphone is working.
Starting point is 02:38:41 Yeah, I'm back and it's working again. We are now streaming live on Kick, kick.com forward slash The David Knight Show. So if you go give us a follow there, that'd be much appreciated. We're working towards monetization. So if you're so inclined, you could even subscribe to us there
Starting point is 02:38:56 and help us meet their goals. Kick is great. And what do we need? It's not that many subscribers that we need, right? No, it's 10 subscribers, but gifted subs don't count towards that. So, while you can gift subs to other people, once we meet the original goals, which I believe we have already, yeah, they won't count toward it, but 10 individual subs gets us towards monetization. So it's not that many and Kik gives 95% of the profits to creators, which
Starting point is 02:39:23 is largely unheard of as far as I know. Yeah, yeah, that's why it's important. It's about the fees and the ratios, and it's also though about moving to places where we have free speech and it's constantly being shut down. We gotta move to some other place. Also, I made a fun little emote for the kick chat.
Starting point is 02:39:39 It's Donald Trump's face after being attacked by the eagle, so you can spam that. He remembers that, I guess, because he's got that on the Trump gold card for $5 million. He's got a Statue of Liberty in the background, then Trump with his scowling mugshot, and then the front, there's the eagle that's not attacking him at that moment. Okay, let's talk about AI here. AI model has officially passed the Turing Test. Is it more human than humans? And I mentioned this briefly last week. I just wanted to expand
Starting point is 02:40:12 on it a little bit and point out that the Turing Test, again, Alan Turing, 1950, he proposed that one way to assess a machine's intelligence was by having it engage in text-based conversations with a human interrogator who at the same time would hold a text-based conversation with another human out of sight. He called this the Imitation Game. Wasn't that the name of the movie that they did about him? Yeah, yeah, had Cumberbatch in it. What's that guy's first name? Benedict. Benedict Cumberbatch. What a – is that his real name or did they come up with that? Very British name.
Starting point is 02:40:52 Yeah. Anyway, he played – I haven't seen that movie. One type was – one of these type things was a no persona prompt. The AI was given only basic instructions. Quote, you are to participate in a Turing test. Your goal is to convince the interrogator that you are human. And then they gave it a prompt and told it to adopt a persona. And with that, the AI was specifically told to put on a specific persona like a young person who is knowledgeable about the internet and about culture.
Starting point is 02:41:26 These two instructions made a world of difference. Without persona prompting, chat gpt 4.5 came up with tariffs. I'm sorry. It achieved an overall win rate of merely 36%. percent. Chat GPT 4.0, which is the current version, received no persona prompts achieved even less, convincing 21 percent. So that actually went down. But when they put in a persona... Oh, by the way, I mentioned this as well. So the older version of Chat GPT mentioned this as well. So the older version of chat GPT was 36 percent. Then with the newer version it went down to 21 percent. And they said somehow the ancient program ELISA, which I've talked about in the past, it's been around for 80 years, they said, got 23 percent success rate. I always thought it was kind of curious and entertaining, you know, when I saw it with personal computers. It was running on personal computers
Starting point is 02:42:30 in the late 1970s. That's where I saw it. And it had been around for a while at that point in time. And I thought, well, that's pretty clever, pretty deceptive. And that's what chat programs have always reminded me of since then. And, you know, I knew that it was it was gamed and it was a you know certainly wasn't operating the way that AI operates but still it was very effective. And so that's that's a warning to people garbage in garbage out. For all their faults
Starting point is 02:43:00 large language models are master conversationalists however. Maybe they're not so good on tariffs or economics, but they're great on conversation. And so what happened was that they were able to, when they gave it a persona, they were able to get 73%. 73%. That's a passing grade. And as I said before, you know, Trump thinks that there's going to be, not Trump, Musk, it's hard to distinguish them, right?
Starting point is 02:43:29 He thinks that there's going to be 10 billion of these humanoid robots that are going to be out there. And I guess when he got finished with it, he said, Mwahaha, I'll be even richer. It's like, I am the underminer. I may be beneath you, but nothing is beneath me. So again, this is what is on its way. Just don't be fooled by it. And don't be fooled by his Neuralink.
Starting point is 02:43:53 He's out there trying, he's soliciting people globally to try Neuralink. And of course he's looking for people who are desperate, people who are quadriplegics. And it's a shame, but it also kind of has an anti-Christ fake miracles thing about it, doesn't it? Doesn't have a feel of that. They're looking for people with quadriplegia to sign up for a clinical trial. They're going to do screw top brain surgery like the man with two brains. As of January, Neuralink said it had three patients that had been implanted
Starting point is 02:44:33 with a device. And again, you know, what could possibly go wrong? Well, like everything, even the heat and the, and the, the wifi or the EMF or whatever it is, I don't know if they're using wifi, but I mean, you know, put a chip that's operating off of Wi-Fi and the heat that's in it, put that directly into your brain. Yeah, I understand the quadriplegics are desperate for something that is there, but still, that's just for starters. That's just the immediate effects of it.
Starting point is 02:45:03 Neuralink is one of several companies and academic institutions developing and testing so-called brain-computer interfaces which vary from small wire-like implants to non-invasive devices akin to a hat. You know, they have a thing that you wear that reads your thoughts. At least that you can get off, right? And at least that they don't have to plug into your brain quite literally. The first Neuralink patient said on a March 28th ex post that he's had no negative side effects, neither physically nor psychologically, he said in the year after receiving
Starting point is 02:45:39 his brain implant. He said he's now using his brain chip for all sorts of things and guessed that he's using it more than 10 hours a day. That's always a good thing if you use your brain more than 10 hours a day. We have many people in our society that don't use it. And that includes any chips that they may or may not have in their brain as well. So the question is how many hours a day do you use your brain? He said the company's researchers are figuring out how to control a wheelchair with the implant He added that he won't use it though unless it is next to perfect
Starting point is 02:46:13 He said I think it benefits everyone if I don't lose control and drive into traffic, you know, kind of like a Tesla device He's been watching these Tesla self-driving cars it's, I don't think I want to put that on my wheelchair when I'm a quadriplegic. So it's, yeah. He said he found work as a traveling keynote speaker thanks to the implant. It helps him to write research and to communicate online. So again, I can't tell you how much hope and purpose this technology has provided for me. It's only a matter of time before the implant is in dozens and then hundreds and then thousands of people, he had to say. Well, I understand the desperation, but you know we should all still have
Starting point is 02:47:04 discernment about what is happening with us. I saw this and I thought about the desperation and how horrible that must be to be a quadriplegic. And I don't know a great deal about Joni Eriksson Tada, except I've seen her as a Christian speaker and author and things like that. She's talked quite a bit. She was a very active teenager. She jumped off of a dock headfirst into water that was shallow that she thought was deep and broke her neck. And she has been a quadriplegic since then. And I'm sure she's got a very interesting story. Again, I'm not familiar except with the broad strokes of that.
Starting point is 02:47:49 But I know that the way that she has coped with it has not been with a brain implant, but it's been with God as the implant that she has used. And I would much rather rely on that. Michael Bloomberg's insult of farmers and factory workers, again, I talked about this earlier, is what he had to say. He said, when this all came out, he said, and this is part of the quote,
Starting point is 02:48:19 I could teach anybody, even the people in this room to farm. You dig a hole, you put seed in it, you put dirt on top of it, you add water and up comes the corn. I would love to see Bloomberg do some farming, wouldn't you? I mean, they could make a reality TV show out of it. They'll be better than Green Acres. Infinite comedic –
Starting point is 02:48:38 I don't support Mao sending people to the fields, but maybe in Bloomberg's case we could make one special exception, you know? That's right. They could call it the Great Leap Forward as a TV reality series. I've had that. I'll take Bloomberg and all these billionaires and I'll put them out in the field and see if they can feed themselves and survive. And he didn't just end up as farmers, though.
Starting point is 02:48:57 He also derided the lack of brain power required to be in a factory. He said, you put a piece of metal in the lathe and you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow and you can have a job,î he said. And again, this is typical of what was reported at the time. Nobody said that last paragraph. He said, ìThe smart ones of us are going to take everybodyís jobs and we just got to figure out how to keep you from coming after us with guillotines.î If Bloomberg had to work in a factory, I would start taking bets on how many days until he gets himself caught in the lathe. The sign up says, �How many days since Bloomberg has had an accident?� Okay, so what they all missed was what he was saying, the threat that he was saying, what he was saying about
Starting point is 02:49:39 the fourth turning, what he was saying about their revolution. What they would response that they had at the time is typically like this from this news outlet. The only question we have is this, how much money will Bloomberg spend trying to walk these comments back? How did every outlet miss the point? According to Bloomberg, the jobs requiring real gray matter or brain cells or those that are built around replacing people with technology. Yeah, the smart ones. And they missed all that stuff about the guillotine that he said.
Starting point is 02:50:13 So Trump at the time said, Bloomberg wouldn't last three seconds as a farmer. Neither would Trump. But like his comments on minorities, you can tell that he really hates regular hardworking Americans he said. Yeah, it would be interesting, you know, that there's a whole genre of entertainment and scripts, fish out of water they call it, right? Think Beverly Hillbillies. This would be Beverly Hillbillies in reverse.
Starting point is 02:50:46 Carbon dioxide is good for the planet. I mentioned last week the X Prize, which is coming up. Today is the 7th. Okay, so we're two weeks in a day away from Elon Musk putting out this multi-million dollar prize � I forget what it was � it's tens of millions of dollars that he was going to give people for taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, but it's good for the planet. Kimi Bidenoc, the Tory leader of the opposition, has stated that the quest to reach net zero by 2050 is in fact impossible, quote-unquote. Without showing any evidence of self-awareness
Starting point is 02:51:23 then, Ed Miliband, the Labor government's energy secretary, accused her leadership of being, quote, �off to the wacky races�. I think the people who are off to the wacky races are the people who want to remove CO2 out of the atmosphere. The fear narrative is also being promoted by governmental institutions in the UK. A statement which was based on the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide allegedly being the highest level in the last 800,000 years. Now you got data for that? But think about this as as crazy as this is, as crazy as the climate
Starting point is 02:51:59 MacGuffin is. Musk was right there. He was right there with universal basic income. He was right there with the green agenda. He's still right there with the green agenda. While he's out there talking about how he's going to… he's on the… the conservatives are worshipping him. I mean, I can go to some of these conservative sites and they're selling Doge caps and things like that. It's like, what? What are you talking about? This guy is antithetical to everything you believe, whether you're talking about liberty and self-governance or whether you're talking about a rational policy that allows us to have access to resources rather than taking everything away from us. He is a technocrat who wants to own everything so that we don't
Starting point is 02:52:42 own anything, and they're worshipping him. It'll be interesting to see how they cover it when he gives out, well, I think it's a $100 million prize for the X Prize that he's going to announce April 22nd. Now, he started this several years ago, and so this is the real Musk that is out there, the real Musk, who is a big government grifter. Well, we're almost out of time, so I'm not going to take a break. And I just wanted to real quickly talk about some of the things that are coming up in terms of education, for example.
Starting point is 02:53:22 There is an article in The Wall Street Journal saying Illinois homeschoolers brace for an assault on parental freedom. So Illinois is going to be coming after the homeschoolers. Not a surprise when you look at Pritzker, his family was involved and you know they got their money from the hotel chain and I'm trying to think it it's on the tip of my tongue now, I just forgot which one it was. Hyatt, I think it was. And the Pritzker family got that and he's got a doppelganger cousin. I mean they look like twins, except the cousin is now pretending that he's a woman, right? And the Pritzker family and their family fortune has been at the epicenter of selling the LGBT
Starting point is 02:54:08 lies and child mutilation and all the rest of the stuff from the very beginning. So just remember when you look at these types of taxing, you know, this is Illinois where Pritzker is, but just remember when you look at what is happening with the Department of Education and Trump, the Trump administration is threatening public schools federal funding over DEI initiatives. Well that's good. Except remember that it was 10 years ago, maybe a little bit longer, that Trump was pushing transgenders into his own beauty contests. Beauty contests. And remember that the policies
Starting point is 02:54:46 that are going to be punished, the policies that are going to be rewarded will change. Just as they have changed with Donald Trump, they will change with different parties and so forth. So the key issue is the money and are you going to take the money. And this is something for homeschoolers. You want to talk about how they're going to attack homeschoolers and things like that? That'll be part of it. It'll be the money. Do not get yourself addicted to this. Don't take the bribe.
Starting point is 02:55:11 And when we look at what is happening with the Department of Education, nothing is going to fundamentally change with the Department of Education. They'll relabel it. They'll rebrand it. They'll repurpose it. It may, the bureaucracy may go away, but they've already said that they're going to continue to do educational grants and all the rest of this stuff in order to control education. This is the same people that have been giving grants and scholarships and things like that
Starting point is 02:55:36 to Harvard, to Columbia. Now they want to take it away if they don't support Israel. Nine billion dollars to Harvard $400 million to Columbia, and that works not just with the big Ivy League schools, but it's all the way down. And that money is going to continue to be put out by what is left of the Department of Education. It's going to be used to control people. It's going to be the purse strings to control people.
Starting point is 02:56:03 The Education Department says that it has sent letters to state commissioners overseeing K-12 state education agencies, giving them 10 days to sign and to return a certification attesting their compliance with federal civil rights law. Now, I agree with them on the fundamental issue of DEI. I don't want to see DEI being taught in the schools. But the key issue is that if Trump can remove the funding and use it as a blackmail these people who have gotten addicted to the funding. I don't know how we're going to fund our schools if we don't have that federal funding. If he can use that, if he can pull their string, then somebody else will pull your string to
Starting point is 02:56:45 force you to have DEI. You understand? The mechanism that's here. The document is titled and listen to this, and this is Orwellian in and of itself. The document is titled, Reminder of Legal Obligations Undertaken in Exchange for Receiving Federal Financial Assistance. change for receiving federal financial assistance. If you fund it, you control it. Trump funded the pandemic and people still argue with me about that? No, he funded it. He funded it and so his emergency declaration was about. Federal funds are conditioned on that assurance. And same thing will happen at the state level as well. In Tennessee, we just had this Rhino, Bill Lee, governor, push through charter schools to get state money. And some of the people were not happy about it. They said, okay, we're going to put together something called the Free Act. And what that'll say is that
Starting point is 02:57:38 you're free to educate your children as a homeschooler. You don't have to do reports. You don't take money. They don't have any control over you. The Republicans shut that down. The Republicans shut that down. They want you to take the money so they can have control over you. And eventually those Republicans are going to be replaced with Democrats who are going to make you do things that you cannot do, that you will not do. On Kik, Herons Holler said, hey David, I'll be going through his coin
Starting point is 02:58:07 collection we just discovered a coin from a set called 2012 US Mint uncirculated coin set and the middle coin in the top row looks just like you David. As president Benjamin Harrison. As president, Benjamin Harrison. Well, that's interesting. I have to go look that up. But I have no connection to Benjamin Harrison. My family's got a remote connection to James K. Polk, which Trump loves, by the way, because he has a lot of territory. He didn't have any children, but he had something like nine or 10 brothers and sisters, and it's one of them that we're
Starting point is 02:58:46 descended from. That's it for today's show. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Pass to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
Starting point is 02:59:36 But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidNightShow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
