of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Night Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday the 1st of June, your of our Lord, 2006. Well, it was a bad weekend for the Don. Somebody who is a narcissist like him, ego ergo Don. Yeah, I have an ego, therefore I am Don. And so we're going to take a look at what actually happened to him and how his agenda is moving forward. An amazing temper tantrum that he had. We're also going to take a look at the prohibition of everything, except for AI. AI is going to be protected. We've got a new movement here with their own special police watching everybody who's protesting anything that AI is doing, the data centers or anything else.

And of course, if you sound like even some of the critics of AI, that could get you on a fusion surveillance list. We want to talk about that. You know, quite frankly, folks, the Artilect War, the war over artificial intelligence between the elites and the common people has already kicked off, even if you don't. So we're going to take a look at that and their religious crusade. We'll be right back. Yeah, let's take a look at the AI stuff that's here. And I want to kick off with an article that got my attention. I thought, well, is this something different now?

A famous math problem that has stumped humans for 80 years. AI just cracked it. Well, let's understand that it hasn't stumped humans for 80 years exactly if you start to look at this. You find out this is a math problem that was put out there as a challenge by an eccentric math genius 80 years ago. And other people had not been able to figure this out yet. However, when I looked at this, I thought, well, this is very different.

You know, we've said that AI is not thinking, AI is not reasoning, AI is essentially collecting and synthesizing stuff. And so how in the world does it solve a math problem along with proofs for it? Well, it's an interesting, that's the interesting part of it, I think. And of course, the mathematicians who looked at this were really taken aback. And as they are very skeptical about all this stuff, they came back and said, well, it looks like it really did it. It stumped humans for the better part of a century's now been finally solved by AI. Not long ago, the most advanced AI models couldn't do basic math.

Last year, they were performing at gold levels, gold medal levels of the International Mathematical Olympiad. now they're solving classic problems and combinatorial geometry using algebraic number theory. And no time at all, artificial intelligence has gone from stupid to frighteningly smart. Yeah, I've forgotten all of that stuff. I started reading this, I started looking at the formula, and it's like, wow, this means nothing at all to me anymore. I did so much math when I was in college. And when I went to do a summer as a kind of co-opement, work situation. The guy that I worked with before said, you like engineering? I said, yeah, I love it.

And he says, so did I. He goes, then I get here. It's not doing anything. He says, I've forgotten all the math that I knew. And I thought, that's kind of interesting. And here I am, you know, 45 years later, my 46 years, I guess, time flies. Yeah, I'm 46 years later. I can't do calculus. I can't do any of that stuff. I look at it's like, wow, that looks kind of crazy. Anyway, the AI can do it. But even mathematicians were astonished when Open AI announced that one of its models resolved a puzzle known as the unit distance problem without the help of any humans scribbling of much of equations on chalkboards. And so in the article, they show the complicated math formula there.

Nevertheless, what's going on with this? Did it really solve a problem? Well, Open AI helped to translate its findings by presenting them alongside 19 pages of companion remarks from prominent mathematicians. Mathematicians are severely allergic to hype writes this article. Many of them have been skeptical about AI revolutionizing their industries, always starting startling to read stuff like these reviews from a lot of college professors. At Princeton, University of Toronto, College de France, saying things like, this is the first example of a result of produced that was produced autonomously by an AI that I find

exciting in itself, as opposed to just a leading indicator, said one. Another one said, if a human had written the paper and submitted it to the annals of mathematics and I had been asked for a quick opinion, I would have recommended acceptance without any hesitation. No previous AI generated proof has come close to that, he said. So Open AI employees were the ones who did it, and they told the author of this article that they would have sounded completely bananas one year ago to say this. And another one said, well, forget a year ago, just a month ago. So imagine how unimaginable it was that 80 years ago when the unit distance problem was posed by Paul Erdos, known as the most prolific mathematician in history. It was also known as an eccentric nomadic genius who lived out of a superfluous.

and worked around the clock. He traveled all over the world, true to his personal motto, another roof, another proof. I've never heard of this guy before, frankly. He left behind a sprawling collection of questions known as air dose problems, which would become a benchmark for measuring progress and math. You can tell how much he liked any given problem by the amount of money that he offered for a solution. The unit distance problem was among his favorites. It originally came with $300 bounty, which he later bumped to. up to $500. It's kind of interesting now.

Of course, you know, when he was around the middle of the 20th century, a dollar was a very different value. But he offered a price of $500, which, again, we had to get a mathematician to calculate the value of purchasing power of that today. But they spent $1,000 in token credits, computer time for this. Yardust showed in 1946 that arranging dots on a grid produced a certain number of pairs. His conjecture was that no arrangement could do much better. Open AI's model found one that did.

In other words, the proof was a disproof. And so you can look at this and say, how did they do this? They said they found it was much better than once they took a peak of the solution. They said, I didn't even believe it. But how did it wind up doing this? Well, the first explanation is that to prove this involved a disproof. And so they said that it was highly counterintuitive. So most people who tackle this problem try to solve his conjecture rather than to disprove it.

Only by defying conventional wisdom and experimenting was open AI able to do that. So what does that tell us? tells us that it did science when the other people were not doing science or math. Because that's what science is. Science is defying conventional wisdom. It's being skeptical. That's why when Fauci was saying, I am science, you know, what kind of stuff, it was anything but all of his stuff was arguments from authority.

It demanded that everybody conform to what authorities said. demanded that everybody conform to what virology said, even though it had not been scientifically verified. Even though they had absolutely no proof, they had not isolated anything, just go with this because we're telling you this. And don't you dare question conventional wisdom. So it was the first thing it did. It questioned conventional wisdom.

And let me get these things frozen up here. Here we go. The second one was that it synthesizes. mathematicians tend to focus on their specific areas of expertise. The AI models use their vast knowledge to spot connections that we couldn't possibly see for ourselves. So in other words, we look at things very narrowly focused whereas you have these large language models by their very nature.

They grab all this information and they're able to coalate it and put it together. So many times we can't see the force for the trees. And so that's a different perspective. that it brings. They pull from both algebraic number theory and from discrete geometry, which they said have nothing more in common than a marathon and a pole vault. If you're looking at Olympic events.

And so overall, it's not completely the AGI that they're looking for. It still came at it from a large language model perspective. It took less than 32 hours and $1,000 in tokens. So that's pretty impressive that it'd take it 32 hours to go up through this stuff. That's a lot of time for AI to work on a problem. That's one of the things that they said as well. Said because the tremendous amount of time that it had to think about this, usually humans get tired.

And that was one of the things that we saw when I interviewed the guy, I can't remember what his name was. The book was For Battlegrounds. And he was talking about the Department of Defense's use of autonomous killer weapons. And he said, the thing about them is that they are totally focused, totally relentless. You give them a goal they don't stop. I mean, it's like the Terminator in the movie. You know, they keep coming and coming and coming.

And he said, you see that where they're in a dog fight or whether they're in a situation where you got land robots? They just keep coming and coming. And that's the way this was as well. So it just, they said typically humans will look at this, they'll get tired, they'll get distracted, they'll go do something else. But this thing stays focused, stays on task relentlessly. Which then brings us to our tech overlords. And let me see if I can.

Can you grab, can you pull up my audio a little bit? I'm having difficulty hearing my voice there. Thank you. Our tech overlords are planning for conscious AI to, conquer the cosmos. So what could go wrong? And again, this is a story from the Guardian. And it's not anything that we haven't said before. But it's interesting to see the quotes from people. And it is interesting to see the fact that this is now becoming pretty obvious even to mainstream media. Sam Altman, the chief CEO of OpenAI, got on the internet a few years ago to propose

that Homo sapiens, humans, would be the first species to design our own descendants. In its best case scenario, the merger between humans and AI occurs at some point over the next 50 years. No, this is religious dogma folks. And I've said over and over again that whether you're talking about culture or whether you're talking about politics, everything, everything. And I would say now even technology. is downstream from your religion. These people are godless, arrogant fools.

It's another way to describe them. And this guy is the same religion as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. They all have a religion. And it's kind of interesting that the Guardian actually identifies it as a religion. But it is also something that is very, very political. And our government understands that this is their superb tool of power.

This is their power chainsaw that is out there. And they don't want anybody that's going to interfere with it. And so it's not surprising to see that at the federal level, we have fusion centers that are looking at people who are protesting these data centers and

at the state and local level as well. This is right here came by because I'm trying to organize a community protest against a representative who is trying to push in a data center owned by a out-of-state company trying to suck up all our energy. I made a post. I made an event on Facebook trying to organize the community together. And what's your badge number? Name and badge number?

Detective that's in. And name and badge number? Sure. I say Sheriff Beannis. Okay. Yeah. No, I have a First Amendment right to protest. And if I organize a protest on a public road, there's nothing wrong with that.

I send an email to that representative, and I can show you the email. I never made a threat. I told, no, this is my house, and I'm going to talk. You guys are on my property. Protesting data centers is a threat to their power, folks. Then why are you here? Well, that's if you let me, okay, so first off, do you want to talk about this? Talk about what?

There's nothing to talk about. I'm organizing a protest, and I'm allowed to do that. It's a First Amendment protected activity. 110%. Yeah. The issue is, some of the communication, the Facebook posts, I would disagree that. I haven't made a single threat. Tell me what threat I made. Okay. Well, you know what you post. No, quote me. Quote me. Quote a threat because I didn't make one. I'm organizing a protest on a public street demanding a

demanding a representative. Huh? What about the safety of his children? Someone else made a comment about the safety of his children. What about the cops implied violence here? No, the other one's threatening violence. He valued his children's safety. He probably wouldn't be trying to ruin the world that they're being brought up on. And that isn't a threat. That's the fact that I'm watching. this man ruined the world around here. And yes, I'm allowed to say that if someone cares about their kids, they shouldn't destroy the community that their kids are being raised in. That's not a threat. The problem is you didn't say that in the post. Yes, I did. You did not. Pull it up. Pull it up and read it. Pull it up and read it. Cool. Pull it up and read it. So that's a concerning part is obviously yes. You have the right to make an event. You have the right to public protest, everything else. Right? I never made a threat. Okay. Well, we disagree in our state's

attorney disagrees. Okay. So you're going to be charged today for a couple of offenses. Seriously? I'm going to get charged. For what? For stalking and intimidation? For stalking? When did I ever go to his house? We'll explain that to you more. Okay. So you are going to be placed under arrest right now, okay? Okay. Let me conclude your live stream. Wow.

Well, there you are, right? They, um, we're going to place you under arrest because when you criticize our policy to set up this omniscient, omnipotent, um, omnipresent power, then you are a threat to our power. And I don't care. I really do support the First Amendment. We hear that all the time from the gun grabberies, don't we? Oh, yeah.

No, no. I'm fully on board with the First Amendment. I absolutely support it. I just don't like your speech and I'm going to rest you for it. That's the bottom line. So Elon Musk says it is increasingly, it appears, that humanity is a biological bootloader for digital superintelligence. Our role in the history of the cosmos is reduced to that of low-level code

that boots up a computer before you can run sophisticated programs on it. Musk is on the tame side of the evolutionary proposition. Google co-founder Larry Page's claim that our next manifestation to follow in the steps of meat and bone humans, you see walking around us today would necessarily have digital form in order to spread throughout the galaxy. Again, these people are Luciferian and they are beyond foolish in all of this. It's not meat and bones. We are made in the image of God.

And it's not the meat and bones that's made in the image of God. It is what we are internally. And I've had this discussion. Zoltan Isfhan was a crank who was pushing transhumanism. And he decided that to push that agenda, he would run for president and he was doing his tour and came to Austin, I interviewed him. And I asked him, you know, he wrote this book, as a matter of fact, as a sci-fi book. And in it, you know, of course, the hero is a transhumanist who is attacked by Christians.

They get violent with him. Again, that is not the way of Christians. That's the way of the oligarch technocrats and the government that is working with them. That is the violence that they're about. But anyway, the villains of his story were all Christians. And so I asked him, I said, so you are optimistic that you're going to transfer yourself into some kind of a machine, a cyborg. And you're going to live? I said, so is that you?

Or is that a copy of you that you would transfer into that? Because what are you? And he could not answer that question. These people know nothing at all. Our response to these tech giants, by the way, should not be one of the first. fear. We should feel the same way that David the shepherd did when we confront these giants, these oligarchs, these people have more money than most of humanity throughout of history combined. It was when David went to where the battle lines were, he heard Goliath out there

cursing God. And so he said, you know, who is this Philistine? that he should defy the name of the living God. You see, that's the key thing. It wasn't like, I can take this guy. I'm pretty good with a slingshot. It wasn't that at all. He saw this guy, Goliath, threatening and blaspheming God like these technocrats. Our response should be the same as David.

Well, you've just taken up a fight with God, not with me. And he will take care of himself. And so then when he went to fight him and he's being taunted, he said, you come to me with sword and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord. That's the key. So it's not about the little guy taking on a giant. It's about a giant taking on God. And the giants are like gnats. That's what we should understand.

This should, when you read this article, this is the top of drudge all over the weekend. in, right? This Guardian article about AI and their artificial gods that they're creating and all the rest of this stuff. That should give you hope. That should give you hope. More so than any of the rest of the other. I mean, these guys are just out there creating very powerful tools to enable government to come after us. That'd be one thing. But if these guys are out there in their arrogance, again, doing another Tower of Babel, I think that's the appropriate way to look at this, both from the arrogance and from the collective unification of humanity so that nothing they desire will be withheld from them.

I think that that is a thing that should give us confidence. It's real about God taking on these irresistible giants and winning because God always wins. And it's just not immediately obvious to us when that is about to happen, when it does happen, like it was obvious at the time of David, And it was obvious to him that this would happen, which is why he had no fear. And what are we told all the time? Fear not.

So going back to these people, who cares if artificial intelligence obliterates humdrum human labor when it offers us the opportunity to transcend our body and conquer the galaxy? Who are these giant Philistines who are so handsomely paid? and rewarded by Lucifer. They're Luciferians. It would be a mistake to underestimate these weird worldviews as an ultimately harmless take by techies who grew up on a diet, a dystopian science fiction.

The notion that we are approaching the end of Homo sapiens is coalescing into a durable body of belief among the elites of the helm of our technological future. it is coalescing into a full-on religion, which is what this article from The Guardian is really about. It's not so much about their technology, but about their religion of transhumanism. And folks, this is nothing new either. There is nothing new under the sun, said Solomon. This goes back to the very first interaction of humans with Lucifer.

You will become like God and you'll live forever, right? That was the promise. So the collection of far-fetched scenarios that Valley oligarchs are writing into our future exhibits the hallmarks of religion in the making, a body of belief to confer a sense of cosmic transcendence and inevitability to their high-tech project. And again, I repeat, whether you're talking about culture or politics or even technology is downstream from your religion. In their Luciferian minds, they see a transhuman future where they can satisfy their desire for immortality and can assert power over the cosmos as transhumans multiply and expand across the galaxy. They're not so interested in power over the cosmos as they are in power over us. Their ultimate goal is to execute on a techno-mystical dream, to distill the essence of what it is

to be human consciousness, bits of information to be downloaded as binary code on some non-biological substrate. And again, that's not what we are. That is not the soul. And, you know, it's kind of interesting, I think, as we look at different things. We have, in the past, there was a, you know, the early 1800s. People started criticizing the Bible saying all that stuff, all the historical aspect of that, that was all made up.

We have no evidence of the Hittite civilization and all the rest of this stuff. And bingo, we had archaeology, which for over a century was basically biblical archaeology. It was people taking the Bible and looking at it and then going finding it. And then after that got shot down, then you had the Darwinist, the evolutionist, come out and say, Well, God didn't create us. We just happened to by chance and evolve from one thing to the other. And then over a period of time, that was something that I think when we look at what is happening with this, when we look at the UFO stuff, I think we're going to see, if we don't address that, we're going to see the same kinds of disruption and the understanding and the trust and the fear of Christians. We're going to see it impact general Christians in the same way that evolution impacted many.

Many people stayed firm. So I don't care what they say. You know, even you show me a bone. I don't really care. I've got the Bible here, you know. So after a while, we started to understand how those, that actual evidence fit into the Bible and how it fit into the Bible better than it did into their evolutionary paradigm. And so it's going to be something like that, I think, with some of this. evolutionary stuff.

It may just be a complete government deception. Who knows? Nevertheless, when we look at what these guys are doing, we need to understand where they're coming from and what they want to have. And I think as they are pretending that they can transfer the essence of what we are, the very soul of humanity, they can transfer that into a machine. No, they can't. And I think it's also interesting that as God brings these things along,

You know, one of the big, big wrecking balls that went into evolution was the science of microbiology. As we saw DNA and even beyond that, the machines within machines, within machines that are inside of our bodies, all of these clearly indicating that they could not happen by random chance. It had to be designed. And so I think at the same time, we're starting to see something that's a lot of people having near-theatheal experiences because of taking. technology and reporting some very, very strange things. And I think that is going to also be a way to counteract this whole notion that, yeah, if we can just build a brain that looks exactly like a human brain, then somehow it'll come alive. Or we can take the bits, the ones and zeros that are in your brain somehow. If we can identify that, then we can transfer that into a computer.

No, it's not that. These people are always foolishly material. realist. They can't see the bigger picture. Maybe AI will help them to see the bigger picture so that just like we were talking about with that math problem. So the essence of what it is to have human consciousness. That's what they call a soul. And again, that's what Zoltan Istvon could not define. He had no idea at all what he was going to transfer in there. I said at best you can put in a copy. And of course, Elon Musk is one of the few people who really understands Musk and Teal are not as out of touch as Larry Page is on this and some others. It justifies steering technology along a path that is at best indifferent to the needs, the hopes, and the aspirations of everyday humans. Transhumanism is incredibly anti-human. It's the most anti-human political. system I have seen. It really is. And so in their mind, quite frankly, they have already replaced humanity in their minds. They're just working on the full implementation of it. But they don't want,

need, or have any sympathy, empathy, or pity for humanity. And they make that very clear. In that sense, they're very much like Nishi. Nishi hated pity. And he hated Christianity because Christianity had pity. Elon Musk puts it as empathy. And understand that empathy is not the same as sympathy. Empathy is like this. Oh, I feel your pain type of thing. Whereas sympathy is, well, I'm not experiencing that, so I really can't understand what

you're going through. But at an intellectual level, I can sympathize with what you're going through. But I'm not going to be so arrogant as to presume that I know what it's like to lose a child or something like that when you haven't lost a child. Who cares if artificial intelligence obliterates humdrum human labor, as I said? If we can transcend our body and conquer the galaxy, then we are the gods, right? And this fantasy is what is directing this technology. The overlords of AI are sinking resources, vast resources, into a dream of building superhumans.

So Lucifer has delivered enormous wealth and power to these IT elite, and they're hungry for meaning. They're indifferent or even hostile to the propositions of moral constraints of organized religion. And again, Mark Andresen, one of his pet peeves is he doesn't want to hear anything about ethical technology. These people don't want to be constrained by ethics or anything else. The very, very dangerous group of people who have become wise in their own eyes, rich beyond anyone's imagination, and they turn that into a very evil use. Seems they all have a pet peeve against ethics. Yeah, yeah. This is a very antichrist dogma of Darwin that is taken to the logical extreme.

and so this is really kind of the ultimate fulfillment of this Darwinism. Silicon Valley has been a militantly secular place. It created a god-shaped hole when it filled, which it filled in its image, said one employee, one guy who worked there. He said, they rejected standard religious sources of purpose. They found an alternative push to provide their lives with significance via these sci-fi transhuman dreams. Musk said,

atheism left an empty space. Secular religion has taken its place. His religion of scientism. And so again, they do this even as they see us as Eloy like H.G. Wells, right? They are the Morlocks, and we are the little jiggly Eloy

that they can pacify. with things like UBI, universal basic income, video games, drugs, you name it. You know, they'll pacify us and then they will use us, however they feel like it. Artificial intelligence opened up vast new possibilities for the transhumanist dream. If it's a longer tradition of business titans, says the Guardian. Because again, the Guardian is coming at this from a leftist socialist perspective. So just as libertarians think government can do nothing right, the socialist think that business can do nothing right. The reality is that both of them are run by humans.

And when you merge them together, which is where we are right now, we have this fascist merger of giant corporations and government. And when you put those together, you get the very worst of human nature. So the Guardian goes back to Henry Ford, who thought that it was his calling to completely transform, society and the fact that he went down into the Amazon and built a his own city that was going to be his utopia. He called it Fordlandia. I guess I haven't come out with a car with that name yet, but that so was bad enough. The handful of people unleashing this technology on the world are guided by an ideology of control over humanity and by conviction. that machines are uniformly better than humans.

You know, people like Alex Carp, which we don't have. It did not work. Okay, so anyway, the AI, to bring about the transhuman dream at the expense of healthcare education and poverty reduction in the here and now, says the guardian. Again, this is all the socialist mindset of an Eloy. You know, hey, we could be, with this, all this money, we could have health care and education. And welfare. Don't worry, you're going to get that real good and hard with the UBI.

They're thinking about that for you already. While Americans are starting to show some signs of discomfort over the unrestrained appetites of the crop of AI moguls, the Trump administration is running full on and running interference for them, as you just saw. That was local, right? Why did that happen locally? Well, at the federal level, we have Trump began his administration with Larry Ellison and Stargate and the big money behind the tech people saying we're going to customize MRNA injections for each and every one of you using artificial intelligence. That was his big dream for Stargate.

So he begins by picking up where he left off with MRNA, but extending it now by combining it with artificial intelligence. And then we look at people like Marsha Blackburn, who's probably going to be our next governor here in Tennessee. She wants digital ID. She has introduced bills for digital ID. She's introduced bills for cryptocurrency and stablecoin, which are going to monitor and control everything that we do. And then she's rolling it all together in something that Marsha Blackburn calls the Trump America AI Act. Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is all insane.

And, of course, the Trump administration wants to block any regulation of artificial intelligence at the state and local level. They're also now working with the fusion centers, which have been kind of the liaison between the federal agenda and the federal national security state and giving marching orders to local state and local police. And so it's these fusion centers that are running the kind of stuff that you just saw in that clip. that I played where they go to the guy and say, hey, you've got a protest here. We're going to against these data centers, we're going to arrest you because you are a threat. Altman and Page are perhaps the most committed to the goal of merging humans with super intelligent technology and abandoning flesh and bone. Altman was an early subscriber to a startup company called nectom. Or nectom A, I don't know. The purpose was to retrieve information that's present

in the brain's anatomical layout and molecular details in order to replicate consciousness. Now, this is the same approach that Hugo de Garis and a very good friend of his, Ben Wurtsel, Ben was the one who created that, if you remember, that mannequin that they animated and the Saudis, because they wanted to pose as being on the cutting edge of technology, they gave citizenship. I forget what they called the robot. But you probably remember that. And, you know, it's very stiff-moving mannequin thing, you know, that could verbalize things, you know, like an audio version of a chatbot.

They gave citizenship to it. Well, Ben Wurtsl and Hugo de Garris were from the branch of this artificial intelligence that thinks, if we build an exact replica of the human brain, if we build it, intelligence will come, right? consciousness will come. And said to you guys. So, you know, that's, that's an evolutionary fallacy. That's, that's kind of like saying, well, if we have all the ingredients, all we need is just some kind of weird flash of lightning and it's going to bring this thing to life. You know, this is the naive approach of Mary Shelley and Frankenstein. It's alive. It's alive. You know, just take the electricity was in its infancy at that point in time. And because they could apply electrical. impulses to a frog's leg and make it move, they thought, well, if we do it in the right way,

we could bring dead people back to life. Well, it doesn't work that way. It's not simply mechanical. Yes, you can get some animalistic responses, but you're not going to get the soul in that regard. You're not going to get consciousness in that regard. But that is a whole branch of artificial intelligence that this represents. So Altman said, in the future, I assume my brain will be uploaded to the cloud. Well, I assume that he's on a path to send his soul to hell. Musk wants something a bit different because he knows that if he did something like this, it would only be a copy of him.

So Elon Musk at least understands that. He says he doesn't want something that is enhanced by computers via something like his own brain to computer interface company Neurrelink. In other words, I'm not trying to transfer my consciousness into, to a computer because we don't even know what consciousness is. I mean, he admits they don't know. Instead, he says, I want to augment my current capability. And Peter Thiel is also on that same page.

He frowns, unquote, just a computer program that simulates me, drawn to the techno ideal of this radical transformation where you're human, your natural body gets transformed into an immortal body. And so let's, we don't know what the soul is, the consciousness is, but we do know that since we don't know what it is, we can't transfer it, right? And so let's just find ways that we can keep this body going, that we can enhance it. That will be our path to eternal life. Page, for instance, has suggested that rather than giving money to charity, he might give it to Musk. Because Musk is trying to create a backup planet for humanity.

So he says, that's a worthy goal to contribute to. This is the effective altruism philosophy that we mentioned last week when we talked about it. This is a philosophy that they began by saying, let's help humans by funding some mosquito nets. Just for a couple of dollars, we can probably save a lot of lives because more people are killed by mosquitoes than any other kind of animal. You pick your favorite poisonous snake or hippopotamus or lions or anything else like that. More people are killed by mosquitoes.

So they said, let's give people mosquito net. Well, it didn't take very long before they evolved into something that was along the lines of this techno. We're going to take over the galaxy type of thing. And they left the needs of present earthlings as they are developing more and more disdain for you and I. So, you know, give all the money to my company. And we're going to set up these foundations just like Rockefeller and others did. So first there were the long-termists who emerged from effective altruism to argue that improving the world of the future was worthier than spending on the present. One small step to move the goalpost to the cosmos, focusing on the well-being of future transhumans,

populating the vast reaches of the galaxy. Maybe they'll be flesh and blood, maybe not, they said. Well, you've got a lot of university departments and a lot of think tank. that are being given money by these techno oligarchs and their mushrooming wealth, as the Guardian puts it. They draw from unorthodox ethics, if they have any ethics at all, to justify the imperative to take humanity, or at least the most privileged part of it, to where it has never gone before. One of this crew's goals is to advance up the Kardashev scale, a measure of the amount of energy as civilization consumes in order to harness the energy. and acquire the technological capabilities needed to transcend our planet and our biological confines. Advanced civilization, the thinking goes, are expected to consume all of the energy of their star

at the very least, if not all that of the galaxy. One of the earlier groups was ultra-libertarian. They called themselves extropians, and they were seeking, quote, an unlimited lifespan, the removal of political, cultural, biological, and psychological limits of self-actualization and self-realization. And again, this is tied up as much in the thought of people like Maslov and the psychologists like B.F. Skinner, this should really concern you as well. These people treated their fellow humans, as B.F. Skinner said, beyond freedom and dignity. And these people are moving beyond freedom and dignity as well.

They have nothing but contempt. for a basic humanity. Another more recent branch is the effective accelerationists. One of the leading lights of this movement said effective accelerationism aims to follow the will of the universe. So yeah, these guys are pagans, Luciferians, following the will of the universe. They speak for the universe, you know. Who are you to argue with them?

They're advocates for the universe. We've seen this over and over again. you got advocates for the snail daughter, or you've got advocates for animals or children who cannot speak, and what do they always do with that? Well, they always come with an agenda, don't they? And as I said, greater and smarter civilizations that are more effective at finding and extracting free energy from the universe and converting it into utility at grander and grander scales. Yes, the arrogance of the Tower of Babel, isn't it?

In a philosophical twist, effective all accelerationsists argue for rampant techno-capitalism, unhindered by regulation, government, and other nuisances. And that's why you have people like Peter Thiel say, well, the antichrist will be ushered in by government regulators. They'll create some kind of a global government in order to try to prohibit what we're trying to do here. And that's why I said, you know, we can get to the same place. and many different paths. If we're going to focus on prohibition,

it is going to take us down that path of tyrannical government. We can see that with alcohol prohibition. We can see it, especially with the 50-plus years of the drug war. Whenever you try to solve things by prohibition, even if you're talking about gun control, right, you have the same type of thing. Well, we wish that this piece of technology is never invented. So let's just do everything we can to strongly prohibit it.

That never works. Instead, it creates all kinds of government corruption. It destroys human rights and we are trampled on by the police and all the rest of this stuff. If we try to solve this AI issue simply by prohibition, that's going to happen at the local level as well as at the international level. Because it isn't something that can stop even if we get it solved here in America somehow. You would have to have a global organization that is going to have to prohibit this. So what is the solution to this? As I said last week, I think is the same thing we look at with gun crime.

What is the solution to some bad guy with a gun? Other people with guns to constrain them. What is a solution to these evil technocrats and government with artificial intelligence? Well, the solution to that is for everybody to have access to that technology. That's where the fight is going to be. And that's what they're starting to do right now. They're starting to criminalize. Anybody that would be competitive to them.

They're starting to say, it's too dangerous for just anybody to have this technology. Only we can have this technology. Or as Altman and others do when they go before Congress, they say, this is vital to your survival. And you can't allow just anybody to have this. You've got to allow, you've got to restrict it to those of us who will work with you. And they're moving in that direction as well now. So they all take us to the same place just in a different direction. and so yeah i think it was the feel that was saying that uh they want in the future to have all

intelligence uh metered by their company so that they can sell you uh work and intelligence at a cost pay per hour yeah their desire to own and to control everything has no bounds i mean it makes um it makes klaus schwab look like altruistic founder of a charity or something. You know, this you will own nothing. That's so yesterday. Now, these people want to own all information, all work, and everything else. It's not just about the material stuff.

It's about everything. They desire to control everything. And that tells you something about where they come from and who their God is. And so a good example of this is Mark Andresen, who wants to ensure that techno capital upward spiral continues forever. and his list of enemies, things that would stop it, encompasses pretty much any person or idea that might stand against technological endeavor.

Hence, the threats and the arrest of people who protest data centers even. That includes sustainability, social responsibility, and tech ethics. In other words, he is literally unethical, non-ethical. He despises ethics. And all these guys do.

So teal is saying that charity as amounts to wasting resources that technologists will need to transcend our present. So don't give any money to charity. We got a greater mission. We've got to become superhuman beings and create gods. Musk has called empathy, the fundamental weakness of Western civilization.

And again, just go back and look at people like Frederick Nishi who hated pity. And this is where all the, you know, effective altruism winds up. It is basically just the ends justify as the means. It's all, well, I can, you know, commit this small crime so long as I balance it out with this much bigger, good thing that I'm doing, which is why Sam Bankman Breed was such a great poster child for it. He was the one they selected as, look, this is what it's capable of, and he perfectly demonstrated why it's not a good idea. That's right. And when we look at all of this, right,

we're going to trample on the rights of human beings. I don't care about any of you people. You don't have enough money for me to care about you, right? You're obviously a loser because you don't have a lot of money in the bank. That type of arrogance and elitism, and yet they excuse it by saying, but I care about the future of humanity and I'm taking humanity to a newer level. That's the same kind of game that people play with themselves in terms of pitting public health against individual health that we saw six years ago.

Your individual health doesn't matter at all. I could not care less if I kill you with a ventilator or from desivir or with a bioweapon shot. We got to do something for the good of humanity. And as I said all the time, what is the good of humanity if you despise individual humans? You don't really care about the good of humanity. If you are going to reject the idea of what has been called the golden rule, what Jesus said, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, then that's what Musk is talking about.

He doesn't have any empathy. He doesn't have any sympathy. He doesn't have any pity for other people. He's got big plans. Don't get in his way. If you create God, but you own God, you become the dictator, said one tech guy, a computer scientist in this interview to the writer of this Guardian story. These dictators don't seem to believe that earthbound humans,

most of us, at least, are particularly valuable. And again, notice how it's all about earthbound versus the people who are going to take to the stars. And how many times you heard Alex Jones rant about that? We're going to the stars and do this. It's no wonder that Elon Musk and these pagan technocrats were such big heroes to them. But Hugo de Garas saw this as well. When he talked about the Arteleike War, he said, yeah, these guys, he says, I call them the cosmos. because not only was that what they were thinking of doing, right?

They said, yeah, they'll have the power as people come after them. So when people realize what these guys really want to do and do to them, the vast group of humanity are going to come after them. That's why you see Trump and all these federal police agencies and intelligence services working with a fusion centers, getting local law enforcement to come after people who protest their data centers. because they know what they're planning to do to us. And they know that if we know, we're going to be coming after them.

So they're doing this preemptively and it's going to only escalate. Now what Hugo de Garis said, he envisioned in his artificial intelligence war, his art-lecht war, he called it. He envisioned that you have two groups, you have the elitists. He called them Cosmosis because he said they're going to leave the Earth. Maybe they will be in near-Earth orbit. or maybe the Lagrange vibration points where they can stay for an indefinite period of time. And they will unleash their technology on the people who remain on Earth.

And so he said it'll be the cosmos versus the Terrence. And it'll be Gigadeath. Gigadeth because if we look at these autonomous killer robots, that is something that has potential for far more destruction even than nuclear biological or chemical, certainly as much potential, if not more. and that's what they're working on. The flat-out indifference towards the rest of us is evident in their frequent assessments about what AI could bring down upon us.

Ending human work, building weapons of mass destruction, even bringing about human extinction in the surface of making paper clips, the way the Guardian puts it. Palantir's manifesto notes that, quote, one age of deterrence, the atomic age is ending and a new era of deterrence built on AI

is set to begin. They see this as a weapon. They see this as a weapon that is as dangerous as nuclear, biological or chemical. Musk said with AI, we are summoning the demon, right? Well, they already did summon the demon to get in the position of power where they are, is my belief.

I sincerely believe that. Yet they admitted. have no idea of what they're doing. As Dario Amadai, the co-founder of Anthropics, said, people outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work. They are right to be concerned about this lack of understanding. It is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology.

It truly is. You know, these guys are building something. They have no idea. it works. This is another indication to me that it is Luciferian. There's a supernatural component to this. As I said before, there were stories. I don't know if they were true or not. You got Burning Man, you got all these Silicon Valley billionaires and they're dropping, what was it, DMT is that the thing where they meet the machine elves. They were dropping DMT and a tent and they were channeling technology from these entities. So Amidai has

as deep ties to effective altruism, his sister, married to the founder of the movement. What is particularly distressing is how unconstrained these moguls are, plowing hundreds of millions of dollars into political campaigns to fend off any attempts at regulation. And again, people like Trump and Marsha Blackburn are right there with them. They'll do whatever these people want. Just understand who is on your team and who is not. it was on the Lord's side and who is not

how should we address the narrow concentration of the fruits of these endeavors to build transhuman cyborgs of silicon brains I have to say that I have a different answer than the Guardian does the answer to this is not politics the answer is our understanding our relationship to God

you might want to call that religion I tend to think of religion as a a bunch of performance things that you do to earn your way to God. That's why I think most people see religion. That's not what Christianity is. Christianity is a relationship with God and understanding the power that he has. Misgivings are emerging amongst the MAGA base, the folks in rural Virginia that push back against all this stuff because, again, politics, when we look at this, are we going

to have some new ethics that are going to be there? Understand that politics in and of itself is really antithetical to ethics. Politics is the art of compromise. Ethics is not about compromise. Ethics is about principles that cannot be moved. And so if you're going to approach politics as the art of compromise, you've already put your principles up for, abandonment really or adjustment all the time.

So you might have people in Virginia that are pushing back against the data centers that are going to hog the power and water supplies. Or maybe you've got evangelicals who are wary about the cosmopolitan elite claiming recourse to a tech that is about a higher authority. Yeah, you might want to think about this, Christians. And this is why I was talking about this last week. you know, a lot of Christians were really late to the abortion issue. If you're that late to the AI issue, we're going to lose.

You need to start thinking about this, speaking about this, acting about this now. Because if you wait, it's going to be too late. This is coming very, very quickly. Other signs of trouble are brewing for the AI project from college graduates who are consistently booing commencement speaking. who praise AI. Did we play a clip of that last week? We talked about it.

Yeah. And I mean, they are really, they do not want to hear it. Steve Wozniak, however, when he gets up there and he starts ranking on the co-founder of Apple, when he starts ranking on artificial intelligence, he gets cheered. And there was another person that I saw give a commencement address. I think he was a comedian or something. But he said, your generation's task is to destroy AI. It's been out there.

they really liked that as well. Perhaps the most forceful pro-human position has been put out by Pope Leo, but I got to say that we cannot abandon this fight to somebody who is a neo-Marxist liberal in a costume, which is the way I regard this Pope. And quite frankly, conservative Catholics do as well. This guy is not the one to carry the torch for this fight. Kudos to him for recognizing some of these issues and speaking out about them, but he really has a major blind spots about a lot of different things.

One of them being what a justified war is. But you can see from what the guy says when he talks about slavery or when he talks about just war, he thinks that morals and ethics evolve. No, they don't. The Bible is still the Bible. It hasn't changed. It doesn't need to change. God has not changed his word at all.

Anybody who changes God's word, that is. an indication that they are not a true follower of God's word. Ford and his civilizational dreams, yes. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of what morals and ethics are if they can change and evolve depending on the whim or the mood that strikes you at the time. That's right. It's just like the tension between what is a fundamental God-given human right and what is a government-granted privilege is people constantly mixing those two things together. If the government has to give it to you, now is the government granted privilege. It's not a human right from God. And the same way, if it is some kind of a moral principle that is constantly evolving, then it's not a principle at

all. And it's not ethics at all. It's just a preference. Yeah. It's just a temporary compromise with people. That's right. And so they go back and they look at, they said, well, you know, Ford had big dreams and he was very accomplished and he was very wealthy but look at how it stands today in ruins in the rainforest of Brazil the ruins of nurseries and ford's aversion to cows meant that the children of the workers were introduced to soy milk that was shipped in from miles away you have the ruins of schools so the kids were taught about Henry Wadsworth longfellow you have the incongruous dreams of an oligarchy that overwhelmed its power and confused its appetites with the greater good.

This AI-fueled cosmic fantasy is no less crazy than what Henry Ford did in the jungles of Brazil. It is in fundamental tension with a tenuous grasp of what consciousness is. Again, these are people

who think they're going to live forever, but they don't even know what they are. You are a soul. You're not this flesh and blood. And so that's what they want to perpetuate forever. or to get rid of the flesh and blood and transfer the soul that they know nothing about somehow into something else. And it's childish in this understanding.

It's very much like Darwin's theory of evolution. My consciousness is going to go up to the cloud to live with the AI super intelligences. Yeah, that's right. Going to go to the clouds. Yeah, there won't be playing harps either. Of course, we're not going to be playing harps either. But anyway, maybe the transhuman project will, give away to a more or less recognizably human future with some cool AI plug-ins.

Who knows? So far, however, our technological visionaries are pushing for something else. They want a future that is marked by vast concentrations of wealth and power that is indifferent to the aspirations and the needs of the vast majority of people. Larry Page, Elon Musk, and their ilk want to go where no man has ever gone before, but actually humanity has been there before. We've already experienced the dark ages. We've already experienced things like feudalism and tyranny

and the concentration of wealth and power. These data centers are nothing but a reinvention of all of humanity and government at its worst. So we're going to take a break with that, and we're going to come back. I wanted to read some of the comments we got here from people. Front Porch Media said AI's current use is drone warfare. Autonomous drone swarms are real now.

Look at Russia. No pilots needed. Yes. Those types of things are being transformed very, very quickly. But again, when you look at it, the weaponized surveillance and police state and the autonomous war stuff, those are things that government is quick to rush into, quick to fund. and those are things that have absolutely nothing to do with the health of humanity, going to the stars, living forever, any of that kind of stuff.

This is more of the base aspirations that every tyrant has had throughout humanity's history, being given the correct tools to accomplish that. Stealth Patriot says, The good old days when AI was Will Smith eating spaghetti. That's right. It used to be a lot more entertaining. then when it does the AI slop stuff, wasn't it when he was slopping? Guard Goldsmith, good to see you, Guard, Liberty Conspiracy.

Have any of you gotten to read the Pope's encyclical on AI? A lot of good points mixed with this sort of socialist-Marxist approach to the market. Still, he was pretty even-handed and made some excellent points. I agree. And I read a little bit of it last week. And I agree with what he had to say with a lot of the stuff. But I feel like, you know, when he starts talking. about, you know, he's coming at it from a leftist, as you pointed out, socialist perspective.

So keeping that in mind, I thought it was better to tackle this than the previous Pope. His first encyclical was all about climate change. It's like, well, let's 86 that. But at least he recognizes that this is a problem. And, you know, he likened it to the arrogance of the Tower of Babel, which I think is very true. And I think it is also true that this has now combined the collective efforts and intellectual capabilities of humans by creating a common language effectively again. And the Bureau, 29, the guy's the first mistake was speaking when he had the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. That's right. You're not going to talk these cops out of anything. And the other thing is never let them in your house under any circumstance. You know, your first instinct when somebody comes up, and we always say this about child protective services. Your first instinct when somebody, you got some nosy neighbor who saw your kids playing in the yard,

and you can't do that anymore. So obviously, they're not well taken care of. So let's call CPS. And CPS shows up at your door because you've got kids playing in the front yard or because you're homeschooling them or something. And your first instinct is to say, I've done nothing wrong. I've got nothing to hide.

Come on in. I'll talk to you. Big, big, big mistake. Never, ever. You know, you say, you got a warrant. Okay, let me get my lawyer on the phone and we'll have a talk about this. High boost, don't engage these jackboots. Yeah, send them packing and shut the front door.

You're absolutely right. Audi, modern retro radio. Good to see. He said, they believe that transhumanism is their escape route to avoid eternal damnation. Wrong. It's your soul that lives forever. Not your DNA, not your brain. And not your data.

See, isn't that interesting? They look at this and they want to grab all the, that's what this fight over these different social media control things are. We don't want to have the Chinese grabbing data from our American citizens. We need to keep that data there because data is power, right? And so they look at all the data on the internet. If we can get all that information out there and all the organic interaction of humans with other humans, that's really, really powerful.

It's really important to make these models work the correct way. And so they talk about it as compute. That's their word for that collectively, that massive data that's out there. And for them, you are nothing more than data. You're nothing more than compute. So if you can figure out all the ones and zeros in your head, that's all you are. Just think about that, how childish and myopic that is. Because these guys deal in collecting data, they think that that is the sum total of

humanity because that's what you are to them. You're nothing other than a bunch of interactions on the internet. They have absolutely no empathy, no sympathy, no pity for humanity. And you obviously don't have any worth because if you did, you'd be rich like them, right? So they only respect people who have a lot of money. That's exactly where Donald Trump is coming from. I mean, he is not just owned by these donor owners. He is one of them. That is his. That is his. mentality to start with. Nadlander AI is pairing with passive Wi-Fi imaging. This is a problem. Passive Wi-Fi imaging can be can see and hear you with no cameras and no mics. Yes, this is something that has gotten a lot of articles lately because they were able to do this

quite some time ago. However, I talked about this years ago. It's gotten much more specific. Now you have ordinary routers that will kind of direct their beams to a device in essence to help to up its communication efficiency. And so they have to be able to make adjustments based on obstacles that are there. And they can use that very function to map you out and to identify you. Facial, you know, by your body, by your face, even by the way that you walk, they can identify different people. So they can do all this surveillance.

That kind of stuff can be hacked and hijacked by the government. and they can use it to surveil you in your home. Atomic Citizen 865, we don't have the power for data. Where are they going to get the power for transhumanism? Yeah, well, we'll see what they do. I mean, you know, they can, that is the limiting thing right now. That's why the fight is going to be over the data centers. But the solution is not to restrict the data centers.

I don't think that's ultimately going to be it. If you go down this path of prohibition, you're going to go down the same path that we have seen with the drug war. And so I think we need a different path. But yeah, that is the key issue. And they're going to try a lot of different ways to get around the protests of the data centers. As you mentioned last week, they've already come up with a couple of different alternatives. I don't know what the issues, technical issues of trying to generate the power in space and beam it back are.

Those are not insignificant issues that have to be solved. But another issue that they had, well, let's just redistribute this to people who want to get paid, you know, just like you're going to do crypto mining or something. We'll put an investment. If you agreed to this, we'll put this equipment at your house. And it's like a million dollars worth of equipment, which makes you something of a target, number one. Number two, that doesn't do anything to solve where the power is going to come from. I mean, if you're going to set up one of these things at your house, ultimately, it goes back to the people who are. producing power for the grid.

And if you're not going to build that up, what are you going to do with this stuff? So, Soilat-Goy says, unfortunately, these college students are booing because AI deletes job opportunities, not because of its Big Brother surveillance potential. I agree. And that's really where a lot of the opposition is coming from right now. We can look at the immediate issues of the fact that it's going to cause our electricity rates to go sky high. We can look at the immediate issues of what it's doing to the water.

we can look at immediate issues of what it's doing to our jobs and our businesses. And those are all very serious concerns. But those are the things that are right in front of us. The bigger picture is what the government is conspiring with these people right now to do. And that is the militarized police state, the combination, as I said last week, of 1984 Big Brother with Terminator Skynet. That is really the issue. and I just don't see people pulling back and looking at the greater danger. If they did, we really would have an art like war.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Hear news now at APSRadioNews.com or get the APS radio app and never miss another story. Well, Lance said to me during the break, he said, you may want to clarify what you mean by, don't restrict the data centers. And yes, he knows what I'm saying, and how I think is we talked about this many times.

I'm not saying that you don't restrict the data centers. I think it is a trespass. I think it is something in and of itself that is a problem. I'm just saying, don't think that you've got the problem solved if you stop that. That is going to delay it, but it's not going to solve it. And it's going to create problems with prohibition. We need to get to the root of the problem. And again, the data centers are a key part of the,

their true power, but there's other ways that they can slice this if we don't really put some things in place to basically stand behind basic human rights, which they want to get rid of. And how do we do that? The only way that we can really do that is through our Christianity, through our relationship with Christ. That's how we're going to reinstate the human rights that have come under such contempt by governments everywhere throughout Western civilization, and especially by these elite oligarchs.

They have nothing but contempt for ethics. They have nothing but contempt for human rights. If we don't recover that and we don't have to convert them, we have to get humans to understand what the vast majority of us need to value those things. If we value those things, we'll find a way to stop this collectively. But that is the real issue. If we focus on just the externals and try to stop those,

we're going to wind up with some draconian measures that are not going to serve us, but basically backfire on this. It's just like trying to solve the spiritual issue of drug use and addiction has backfired on us in terms of pouring fuel on the fire of the police surveillance state. You want to say something, Lance? Okay. Well, let's take a look a little bit more at this,

at the feds going after what they term anti-tech extremists as the AI hatred is growing. That's the title from Technocracy News. And again, this is the Ardlect War that is ramping up that Hugo deGaris talked about. And this is all happening in the context of the fourth turning. A nationwide protest movement targeting data centers and increasing concern about AI job replacement. You've got federal agencies, intelligence agencies, and domestic law enforcement coming together through these fusion centers. This was some information, some unpublished reports about 1,000 pages from Homeland Security, FBI, and fusion centers that was obtained by Wired. Wired magazine.

It shows a national shift taking place to surveil this new and worrying broad category of people and activities deemed to be an emerging threat. And yet the reality is that this is really nothing other any different than what Trump has already been doing. If you oppose his agenda, he is more than willing to weaponize every tool of government against you. This is a very, very dangerous precedent that absolutely will be used by the Democrats. They used it. And he is escalating this to a new level and further entrenching it. They understand that AI is their tool, their power tool. And so Trump's national security presidential memo 7 instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding, quote, anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-capitalism beliefs.

Well, let me tell you, this is going to be going after people, not because they're anti-Christian or anti-American. It's going to go after people because they're anti-state of Israel or they're anti-Semitic. we've already seen that. We've seen DeSantis and the Republicans in Florida do that type of thing. We've seen many Republicans do that. We know that Trump is about that as well. Whenever you start to restrict speech, especially when it's about politics or religion or things like that, then you are on the path to tyranny.

And that's a path that he has gone down quite a bit. The political persecution precedent. Don't argue that just because you aren't on the list. yet that it's okay and that's the the myopic MAGA people looking at this well I don't like anything that's anti-American anti-Christian or anti-capitalists so I'm all for the president taking these people I voted for this type of nonsense well if you support that which you're going to support is a left doing this to you when they get power and they will get power it goes back and forth they do that deliberately the

Trump administration's directives have commented the domestic surveillance apparatus to surveil and criminalize speech that challenges the ideology of the White House. And guess what? When the White House changes, those tools and those precedents will remain. And so will those bureaucracies. And they'll be repurposed to push whatever the ideology of that next White House is. A new focus on anti-technology extremism adds an unreported category to an already public designations under this presidency.

That's heavily invested political and material capital in AI and data center proliferation. In other words, they spent a lot of political capital. They spent a lot of actual money to proliferate these data centers because they want that. And so now they're going to come after anybody who pushes back against the data centers or pushes back against this abuse of technology. the pervasive extent of this criminal regime's corrupt wielding of power. In a word, weaponization. We hear that all the time, don't we?

And yet, nobody, you know, Trump is looking at how government was weaponized against him. And I said this at the very beginning of his, actually, after he was elected before he took office, I said, he got elected because people saw him as a victim of the Biden weaponization. And I said, but I'm afraid that what he's going to do is grab these power tools. tools that he has as president, and he's going to use it for his own weaponization against his own political enemies, rather than taking the reins of government and enacting broad reforms. I can't even imagine Trump doing something like that, trying to establish the rule of law, rather than trying to destroy the rule of law?

That is so opposite of what his character has been. He wants to set himself up as a powerful individual, a powerful organized crime figure, a mafia Don, who don't you dare cross me? Don't you dare oppose me on a single issue? If you do, I will destroy you politically. And I will come after groups that are out there and individuals who protest what I want to do, whether it's on immigration or whether it's on artificial intelligence. So the documents are obtained by Wired in a New York Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau report

warns of widespread upheaval in response to AI adoption. And again, you have a New York State Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau. This is the kind of garbage that is now infiltrated and a kind of cancer that is metastasized throughout our government. And that's not just the federal level. The feds have this rot is rotting from the head down. And it is now rotting these state and local people these fusion centers that are out there.

The same Intelligence Bureau assessment describes a novel threat emerging in the wake of the arrest and trial of Ziz Leota. ZZZZZ, I've never heard of this guy. An extreme rationalist who allegedly led a small cult-like group, three members of which have been charged with murder,

tied to an obsessive ideology focused on the existential risk posed by AI. we go. Here's the prototypical art-a-like leaders. The same fear surrounding the cataclysmic potential of AI is a common concern, however, not just against with people who want to overthrow it with violence, but it also is a concern with the experts who work on AI alignment. Remember we talked about this last week? What is AI alignment? That says, we want to make sure that the AI stays aligned with our goals. In other words, think of Isaac Asimov's

iRobot and the basic rules that it had to follow. You know, the first one is never do any harm to a human. Second one is always try to protect humans from harm. Third one is protect yourself unless it conflicts with those first two rules,

that type of thing. So they want that kind of AI alignment. And the experts are saying, well, I'm really kind of worried that we can't get it to align with our goals, that it might become really. really, really dangerous. Also, it conflicts with the concerns that machine learning engineers and even frontier AI companies have. Nevertheless, this New York Intelligence Bureau warns that paranoid views

regarding AI may proliferate in the aftermath of the Zizians trial. Zizians, they call them. Thanks to their attempt to reason the belief that a godlike incarnation of AI is imminent. And again, if we did not see this in the bigger perspective of the fact that God still rules, we would all be concerned about this. And, you know, we would have to take the violence into our own hands like this. But I think that there's another approach that we take if we are Christians and we trust in God. We don't take these shortcuts and take it into our own hands that way. The New York Police Department Intelligence Assessment follows collaborations with the FBI last year to monitor the signal chat of an activist group that's coordinating volunteers to monitor immigration courts.

So you must not know what's going on. You must not look at your overlords and the people who are the enforcers. They must be masked. And if you try to penetrate that mask, if you try to film them, then they are entitled. to drive their car into your car. They're entitled to beat, maybe even kill you, right? So you do not look

at your masters. You do not look at the overseers, slave. You just do what they say and get out of the way when they say it. Create in the wake of 9-11, you have 80 fusion centers now around the country. They are the go-betweens

for federal intelligence agencies, state and local law enforcement to coordinate with each other. This is where the federal government feeds its paranoid conspiracy theories out to local law enforcement. They're also gathering and circulating intelligence about alleged threats to data centers. A Western Pennsylvania Fusion Center, for example, claimed that adversarial actors, homegrown violent extremists or environmental extremists may target U.S. data centers.

These actors could also exploit the strategic importance of data centers in the U.S. economy, and they could use it to leverage third-party entities such as front companies to gain access to U.S. data and infrastructure. Now, you notice in that last bit there, they're starting to pivot to, well, what happens if some computer people start to come up with their own system, right? We need to keep a close monopoly of this for the people like Elon Musk and Trump and Teal. We don't want to let anybody else into this oligarchy. We have to make sure it's only the models that have, you know, what was it several million dollars spent on it in development and only if it kills a hundred people or more. It has to be a major disaster.

These small scale people, you've got to get rid of it. Small scale will be punished. The big guys will just go free. And somebody had mentioned one time that rules and regulations are like a spider web that traps the small flies, but the big bumblebees go right through it. Well, that legislation out of Illinois was a perfect case in point. you have to if you're a company that has spent more than a hundred million dollars on your language model and if you kill more than 100 people you get immunity but if you kill fewer than 900 people or you cause what was it it's like a billion dollars worth of uh fraud or something like that property

damage property damage and fraud so if you rip people off for a billion dollars kill more than 100 people as long as you got a big uh company you go scot-free and anybody else gets punished Well, 99% of CEOs are planning AI job cuts as the gap between rich and poor continues to explode. This is from Michael Snyder, and he points out this is coming from Mercer, long allied with the conservatives. According to this survey, 99% of corporate executives planning AI-related job cuts within the next two years. The 26 Global Talent Trends Report spoke with 825 corporate leaders. 1,150 human resource leaders, a jaw dropping 99% of the executives surveyed said they expect AI to lead to at least some headcount reduction in the next two years at their company.

98% said they're also planning organizational design changes in that same time period. Again, we're looking at a massive sea change in society, a fourth turning. It's going to have a lot of political implications, economic implications, and probably, I would think war as well. Only 32% of the CEOs, about a third surveyed, so they believe the workforce can combine both human and machine worker capabilities in optimal manner. So think about this. Two-thirds of the CEOs want to get rid of people altogether, as much as possible.

They see humans as incompatible. Actually, they see them as expensive, and they want to maximize their revenue to an absurd extreme. This is also a symptom of a... lack of ethics. This is why I say the problem has to be solved from the upper level. The problem has to be solved with a return to Christian ethics that built Western civilization that protected individual liberty. If we don't go that path, if we try to force feed this, you're just going to have competing gangs fighting for power. You're not going to have any justice. You're not going to have a

society that any of us want to live in. It's just going to be these competing gangs fighting with each other. So meta's 1400 highly paid workers in Washington State are about to get the axe as well. And of course, as he's firing people, you've got Zuckerberg taunting them at the same time. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much you have sacrificed for the company. PayPal, for example, is making plenty of money, but they're apparently looking at cutting one-fifth of their entire workforce. Well, they cut me five years ago. So they didn't like what I had to say. So it's not a company that I can imagine I would ever want to work for. There is a reason why Americans have never felt as bad about the U.S. economy as they do right now.

Thanks to the crisis in the Middle East, says Michael Snyder, because he does not want to say anything negative about Trump. He'll talk about the negatives of Biden, and there's plenty to talk about there. And he'll say, somehow there's this crisis in the Middle East. I don't know how that happened, right? It just happened. It's like the pandemic. No, it wasn't the pandemic. It was Trump's response to a fake pandemic that was the problem. And there wasn't a crisis in the Middle East until Trump and Israel created that crisis. So as a result of that, of course, we're looking at, you know, $4.50 a gallon gas. Many people are saying it's going to go over the $5 a gallon that was the Biden benchmark in the past.

The middle class is being systematically dismantled. That's right. And I would say not just systematically, but systematically bipartisan dismantled as they build their AI feudal dictatorship. Let's understand. The Democrats don't have any solutions to this as well. And they have been a part of this also. And just another example of how this has permeated all of the elites

is the fact that Putin has now got a $26 billion quest for longevity. According to people saying Russia's president has now turned anti-aging research into a priority for the Kremlin. This is the same thing that we see from all of these leaders. They want to live forever. And they are using their massive amount of resources to live forever at the expense of other people as well. As a matter of fact, remember all the videos we had of Putin,

we had the shaking hands and he had the appearance of being swollen. Everybody said, oh, he's circling the drain. You know, he's got real health problems. He may not survive much longer. Well, when he was meeting with Xi Jinping in just the last week or so, he was caught on a hot mic telling Xi Jinping that humans could achieve immortality by replacing their organs. Some people dismiss the exchange as eccentric small talk between aging.

autocrats. And yet, the reality is that China is very heavily into this. I probably, I don't know, we didn't get the response from Xi Jinping, but he just said, probably was saying, yes, I know we've been doing that for quite some time. I'm way ahead of you. You wouldn't believe how many organs I've got. That's right. How many Christians and Falun Gong we have executed so I could have their organs? I can't even have lost count. Putin appears to be describing a Kremlin-backed longevity. initiative that has become one of Russia's flagship scientific projects. And so there's a very long article on that at the Wall Street Journal, which we will not get into. We're going to take a quick break, as a matter of fact, and we'll be right back.

You're listening to the David Knight Show. APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device. Get the APS Radio app today and listen wherever you go. Well, we're starting a new month today. Today is June the 1st, and I just wanted to give the supporters and the producers of this program, producers being the people who actually fund it, I wanted to give them an understanding of where we are and to thank them for their support. We got up to 75% for the month, and that's 25% below where we are, but I look at it as the glass is 75% full,

and so I really do appreciate it. Let me just give a quick shout out to the people who supported the program, and it won't take long. There's not a whole lot of people that have come in just like. last week. David and Karen H. And thank you so much. It's good to hear from you after quite a while. Ronald H.

Maryland G. Charles D. Sally D. Janice W. Joseph R. Daniel C. Ramon G. And Craig M.

And also Ryan on Cash App. Thank you. All of you. I really do appreciate the support. And that's what keeps this program going. Let's take a look at the bad weekend that Donald Trump had. And again, a little bit of Shadenfreude, I guess.

We'll begin with what happened at his beloved art center. He really wants to be seen as a patron of the art and arts. And, of course, that's part of his vanity, putting his name on the Kennedy Center. And for the longest time, this was created a memorial to JFK, and again, it's not something that the government has the authority to spend the money for something like this. Nevertheless, in the act in which they created the Kennedy Center, they said that it would never be named after anybody other than Kennedy,

and they set up the maintenance and the operation of this to be done by a board of directors. Trump just ignored all of that stuff. And this is what it looked like. people cheering as they were taking Donald Trump's name down because all he did was there he had this long line, the Kennedy Center for the Arts or whatever it was. It's a very long line of text there. And he puts it up there, Donald Trump and John F. Kennedy Center for, you know. So he put his name up there, Donald Trump and.

And here they are taking it down. Yeah, it was the Kennedy Memorial Center for the, the arts and they took that down. So he was ranting from the golf course. He was furious about the fact that the judge and he says, well, this judge has got connections to Barack Obama, the Democrat Party, his wife does. And this whole thing is rigged, he said. And he was also fit to be tied about the tariff rulings because just like the law that they had put into the act and the law that they put into effect to set up the Kennedy Center for the Arts, the Constitution says that only Congress will assess taxes,

and the tariffs are a tax. The other thing that he's doing is he is complaining about the fact that it's going to cost his government so much money to give this back, and yet at the same time, he's refusing to give the money back. And he's appealing the fact they need to give the money back. When this whole thing went to trial, the businesses, the American, businesses that were being hurt by this. And understand this boneheaded egonomics program that is his centerpiece of disaster, this was something that harmed domestic businesses and harmed domestic

manufacturers. Because we don't have the full infrastructure to be able to do everything here domestically within American borders. And so what you're doing is you're penalizing Americans who are actually building stuff by making them pay more for the components of the they have to bring in to finish their product. And as Lance and I have talked about this many times, you've got a lot of people who have set up GoFundMe projects and said, we're going to make this 100% in America. And they have to come back and say, well, I can't do it 100% in America.

Wasn't there a wool sweater thing that was along that line as well? Yeah, there was a few YouTube videos I saw people trying to make a product entirely in the U.S. And time and time again, they eventually just give up and do, well, okay, it's mostly made the U.S., but they have to have some step. Which is why Trump's whole tariff mentality, that it's just all based on hypernationalism, is absurd. And when we talk about this wool thing, this wool clothes, yes, we have people who can make stuff like that,

and we have sheep in the United States. Nevertheless, they could not get it in the quantity or the speed of which they needed in order to finish this, because we just don't have enough of it. So rather than pursue a path of deregulation to allow American manufacturers to be able to innovate, to expand, and to thrive, what he does is he decides that we're going to tax our way into manufacturing. What a statist, idiotic approach. But what else would you expect from Donald Trump? And so he flips out over the weekend because of these two things, because of the tariff rulings and because of the Kennedy Center rulings. He said it is rigged.

He said blocking a cornerstone of his economic policy agenda. Well, that was not what he said. That's what the Hill said. But that is true. Think about the fact that the cornerstone of his economic policy agenda is taxes. Taxes assessed illegally and unconstitutionally. So he said, our court system is rigged, all uppercase. No different than our political system is rigged.

and the people of our country know it. Well, what we know is that we've got a lawless tyrant and criminal in the White House who figures that he is entitled to do as he pleases. He has said it over and over again. I can do whatever I want. I can rule like a king. He said, our country lost the tariff case and is forced to pay back $149 billion and money received from people who hate everything we stand for.

Yeah, you should hate anybody that he taxes. Typical Democrat. We're going to tax our way to prosperity. We don't worry. You won't be paying the taxes. It'll be people that you dislike that'll be paying the taxes. We always hear that. And yet, there were several plaintiffs in this case that were small businesses.

They were being put out of business by Donald Trump, as well as many manufacturers as well. And as he was putting this through the court, the people of the plaintiffs said, we would like to get an injunction to stop these taxes from being collected. The Trump administration said, no need for that, Judge. If we lose, we'll give the money back right away. Well, they are fighting tooth and nail to keep that from happening. Just like everything else, Trump lies. And when he wins, he does exactly the opposite of what he said he was going to do.

Well, he melted down from the golf course. He went after the judge's wife. And everybody in the media pretty much took the bait, especially in the conservative MAGA media. They all go, oh, yeah, let's look at this guy's wife's background. You know, they were connected to Obama and this and that. No, just go back and take a look at the law. Why don't you just look at what it says?

Barack Hussein Obama judge, said Trump. And that's the bait that everybody took. They all focused on that. They focused on his rant. But what about the law that was actually there at the center of it? The Kennedy Center's statute makes crystal clear that the center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear the name of any other formal name or public memorial based on the board's unilateral say-so, said the judge. That's what the statute says.

Congress organized the center as a bureau within the Smithsonian Institution, directed by a board of trustees, he said. In order to satisfy these obligations, Congress empowered the board to do the kinds of things that boards typically do, to negotiate contracts, to prepare budgets, to employ personnel, to solicit and accept gifts, to transfer property, to bargain with employees, to procure insurance and issue annual reports. And Trump has just taken over all of these things. And so it's a very clear-cut case. And yet, when he looks at this and when he loses, in the court case about the Kennedy Center, he flips out and starts tweeting about it from the golf course.

But that wasn't the only problem that he had over the weekend. He's got this big bash of the 250th birthday party to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, where we had people who fought to get independent of the kind of tyranny that he wants to impose on us. Nevertheless, he's had nine acts that he had line. up, nine musical acts that he had lined up. And by the end of the week, you had all but two of them had canceled. So he flipped out. He got really angry and he said, well, cancel it. Just like I

canceled my involvement with a failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center. Well, he didn't cancel either one of those. It was the acts who canceled him. It was a judge who canceled him from having his name on the Kennedy Center. What a liar this guy is. Yeah, yeah, I canceled the Kennedy Center, my involvement. No, the judge canceled your involvement based on the law. And these other people canceled it because they don't want to be associated with you. That's the reality. It became all about him instead about the country. And that's the way it always is with Trump, isn't it? And so then he got even crazier. He started comparing himself to Elvis.

And he said that he is more popular than Elvis was during Elvis's prime. He said, I get more people showing up for my rallies than showed up for his concerts. And he goes, so just forget about these musical acts. I'll do it myself. To which we can imagine, it might be something like this. I need to me, farm living is delight for me. land's written out so far and white keep Manhattan just give me that country's side yeah he thinks he's better than Elvis because that's what a narcissist would say isn't it

he actually put up a meme that shows it's a picture and on one side of the picture it's his face that's exactly the same size as Elvis is and they cut it down the center and goes a lot of people tell me that I look like Elvis you might look like Elvis after his fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches stage but he doesn't look like Elvis at his prime at all I guess perhaps somebody should get up there and sing a wise men say only fools Russian because that's what he did in our moves right perhaps he should listen to the advice of Elvis's songs right so he said unlike Elvis who needed a guitar to wow his fans

all I need is a microphone to get a much larger audience than Elvis did in his prime. Yeah, because we all just love to hear him drone on and on and on about himself and all of his fantasies about all the things that he has won and how he is succeeding, even in the straight of Hormuz, which he's not. Although viewers are not get to see Trump Don a sparkly one piece, or see him showcase his vocals. Instead, he said he plans to give a speech at the end of the rally. Yeah, one of the people that was there that is not going to be there is Martina McBride.

I think he should try to sing her song. He did so well with Green Acres. He just sing that Independence Day, right? Let Freedom Ring. I'd love to hear him attempt that. That would be comedy goal. And then, of course, he was, he finished up the weekend. putting up a bunch of disgusting AI slop about himself.

It's amazing how he does that. And so one of them he put up is he's playing basketball with him and New York Governor Kathy Hochel. And so he's wearing a Knicks jersey and he is dunking on her. President Donald J. Trump versus Kathy Hochel, New York's failed governor, who, if people are smart, will vote for Bruce Blakeman. He will make New York great again. And then I saw this from one person, which was just disgusting Stalin-esque kind of propaganda.

Can you imagine, you know, Trump, here he is, all-American football star. Look at all these bulging muscles that he's got there. What utter nonsense. And the guy who put this thing out was just over-the-top sycophant, so much so that people in the comments were ratioing this guy saying, dude, are you gay? What is your issue here? So Trump's 250th celebration is a fiasco because he turned it into Trump Day. Yeah, Trump Day.

Thank me. Thank me very much. The only thing he had to do was for once in his life, not act like an insane ego maniac, but he just couldn't do it, said the Atlantic. And that's absolutely true. Then there's this story of some disappointed MAGA supporters. they wanted to buy a Trump watch. Tim Pettettit heard a radio ad using Trump's voice to sell luxury watches.

And so he wanted to get one of these, and then this happened. Trump time. A mistake on a Donald Trump keepsake might be funny to some. But it wasn't a laughing matter for the couple who paid more than $600 for the Trump-branded watch. The I-teams Brian Crandall looked into it and is here with what's happening now after we got involved. Brian? Patrice, Jean, one letter was left off that watch face and it was pretty much the worst one possible to forget. And after being disappointed with the initial response from the website they ordered it from, the Middletown couple talked to us.

They had been inadvertently told the truth. Showing support for the president and love for his wife. Just thought it was really nice. Beautiful. And it would be something that she'd like. A limited edition. One of 250. so that attracted me.

And Tim Pettettett sheld out $640 for a watch that may not be even more of a one-of-a-kind than he bargained for. Get your Trump watch right now. Go to get-Trumpwatches.com. It's Trump time. Petit bought the watch after hearing an ad like that one on the radio. With the president's voice hawking the watches and I was curious, so I went on to the website. Get Trumpwatches.com. Petit picked out the pink inauguration First Lady model.

It has the pink and it has little fireworks on it. Melanie Petit likes the style, but it's what this watch does not have that makes it stand out. I noticed it right away. The T is missing. It just says, RUMP. Rump. So it should say Trump. Should say Trump.

Instead. It says rump. She has a $640 Rump watch. How could they process this and go through something? without checking their work. I'm very disappointed. I wanted to be a special thing for her. Where do I get one?

I expected that it would have the integrity. I want mine without the T. The president of the United States and good follow-through. The get truckwatches.com site calls its products, the official watch. Yeah, yeah. Go back. You know, expected. Very disappointed.

I wanted to be a special thing for her. And we had expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States. It does. And good follow-through. Trumpwatches.com site calls its products the official watches of President Trump. But in the small print, it notes that it licenses the Trump name and likeness. The site also states it has nothing to do with any political campaign. Look at that.

Watches are not designed. Most of those models say sold out. By Donald Trump, the Trump Organization. or any of their respective affiliates or principles. I think that... Yeah, you know, I think that's more truth there. You know, besides the rump, it says over most of them sold out. He has sold us out, hasn't he?

And I guess the only thing that's missing is if I get one of those, I would like for it to say, kiss my rump. Because that's really the way Donald Trump acts towards his supporters as well as to America and to the Constitution. A proposed $250 bill could be a boon for drug cartels, say experts. And again, this is the sort of thing that is exactly what the drug cartels need. They need to be able to move around cash in terms of, you know, paper fiat currency and large amounts. So $250 bill will be much better than the equivalent stacks of $100 bills.

And, of course, his buddies, his billionaire buddies will be able to light their cigars with a $250. bills as well. But this is Trump's picture on the $250 bill. And I think that is fitting because, you know, we've had in the past, if you look at it, we've had, you know, Abraham Lincoln, for the most part, you know, George Washington is there. But for the most part, they've gone in and picked people like Alexander Hamilton who have helped the idea of a Federal Reserve Bank or a U.S. Central Bank or taking a victory lap over Andrew Jackson who got really. of the national bank, or you got Abraham Lincoln who pushed through to get an income tax and a central bank and a first fiat currency, things like that.

So they've honored people who have kind of taken a victory lap over their opponents, honored people to help push this through. And, of course, since Trump is so focused on monetizing the debt by lowering interest rates, by bringing back quantitative easing, he is demanding that from the Fed. I think it's only a fitting tribute that we would create a much higher denomination bill for him since he is the king of inflation. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles, Hach. And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the oldies channel at APS. Well, Pam Bondi was back in Washington. They brought her in to testify in a closed hearing. She can be seen walking in. She's got a bandage across her throat.

She has been diagnosed with a form of cancer. But actually, the cancer that she has has a pretty good prognosis for long-term survival, unlike the Trump administration that she served. So what did she say? She said, she blamed Attorney General Tom Blanche, who's taken her place. She blamed him for all of the issues and the redaction errors that were used to release the files. But then at the same time, she also insisted that the testimony included nothing but praise for the acting attorney general Blanche, which she said is incredible. Yeah, that's what is incredible about Pam Bondi.

She flatly refused to say anything about Donald Trump. She answered every question saying that she did not recall or telling the committee to ask Todd Blanche. She criticizes him, blames him for all of the errors with the abstain data, and then says he's doing an absolutely amazing job as Attorney General. This is a typical... He's covering it up just as well as I would have. It's a great job. Such hypocrisy from her.

Truly is amazing. She refused to answer any questions about Trump, despite repeatedly being asked about her conversations with him regarding the files. She expressly stated that she would not talk about Trump, otherwise saying that whenever they asked her, just like Mike Johnson, I don't know anything about it. I don't recall. I never saw that. She claims the Department of Justice produced everything required.

She said they'd acted in a transparent manner and acted appropriately in releasing the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Galane Maxwell. And by the way, they left everything out in a transparent manner. Transparent, that is, if you've got x-ray vision that lets you see through black blocks on the text, right? It's all relative, I guess. Blanche noted that a significant amount of work was required to issue redactions of witnesses' names. Well, actually, they did just the opposite. Remember that?

they redacted the perps and they left the witnesses, the victim's names there for people to see. It truly is amazing to see how these people turn this stuff upside down. Trump, meanwhile, has refiled this baseless lawsuit with the Wall Street Journal that linked him with Epstein. We all know there were buddies for 10, 15 years. And the birthday card that was sent, the lewd birthday card with his signature. in a strategic place that was described by the Wall Street Journal, and it was exactly as described. And it was produced as evidence that they got from the Epstein estate. And yet, he is suing them for defamation.

I think the word is definition. I think they defined his character rather than defamed him. And his whole lawsuit is undercut by the fact that the Wall Street Journal said, well, Donald Trump has denied this. When you put that in, you can, that's called Freedom of the Press, which I know Donald Trump does not support. He wants to go after people who criticize ICE.

He wants to go after people who criticize the data centers. Criminally, prosecute them. And he sues anybody that he doesn't like the way they talk about them or about him. Or if they edited something that he thought was in favor of Lala Harris, even after he wins, he goes after CBS and says, well, I think you edited that in a way to make her look. good. Well, there's nothing wrong with doing that, quite frankly. That is something the press is allowed to do. And if they say something that has been alleged about Donald Trump, they can also say,

well, we contacted him and he denied this categorically, which they did do. So the judge that got the lawsuit said, the way this is written, you don't have a case here. But of course, this is coming from Donald Trump, who thinks, as he does, obviously with his weaponization fund that he put out, He thinks that he can be both plaintiff and defendant. And he thinks that he can come after somebody for defamation when they say, well, this is what was said, but he has denied it. That is all that is required. And so interestingly enough, he's coming after Dow Jones and Company, which publishes the Wall Street Journal. And this is inspired the fact that Bondi said the Dow was at $50,000, which is all that matters.

And so now they're coming back. I guess they're getting serious about coming after the pedophiles. They're starting with the Dow Jones, of course. Yeah. When that gets low enough, then they'll be able to come after them. So a judge threw this out and said, no, this isn't even a lawsuit the way this is written. If you want to try to do this, you're going to have to come back and write this differently. So they did that.

They keep coming back. And there's absolutely no basis for this. There's absolutely no actual malice. And they put the disclaimer in there, as I said. in the new filing, his attorneys argue that only two surviving individuals could confirm the letter existed. According to the complaint, Trump vehemently denied writing it, while Epstein Associate Galane Maxwell allegedly told federal officials she had no knowledge of the document. And yet it was there, and they found it, and they released it to show what this was.

And yet, as they said, he denies this. So they have covered themselves. The complaint further accuses reporters of either knowingly publishing false information or intentionally avoiding evidence that contradicted the story. The original Wall Street Journal report said that Trump denied both writing the letter and drawing the image. And again, his denial is totally ludicrous. Defendants, they said, however, falsely, maliciously, defamatorily state as fact. The regardless of how the alleged letter was prepared, it nonetheless contains Trump's authentic signature. Well, it certainly looks like it to me. So let me ask the lawyers.

Who do you think would forge Donald Trump's signature like that? And why would they? Maybe they should go back and carbon date this thing to the 1990s and get it beyond a shadow of a doubt. I don't have any doubt at all that this is something that he did. And dismissing the original case, the judge explained that proving actual malice requires evidence that a publisher knowingly reported false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. Trump's earlier complaint comes nowhere close to this standard, he said.

The judge further said that claims the newspaper ignored contradictory evidence was weakened by the article itself, which included Trump's denial. Allegations of ill intent alone, he said, were insufficient to establish actual malice without supporting factual evidence. To proceed with the case, he said, Trump has to provide clear evidence of Wall Street Journal knowingly published false information. And the very fact that he's coming after them for $10 billion tells you everything that you needed to know.

He has absolute total disregard for reason, for the law, for the truth, for the children that he was involved with. And then we have this. We have the meme that people are putting up for Republicans that work the hardest to get the Epstein files released. And so, of course, he got rid of Marjorie Taylor Green and, Thomas Massey. And now you've got Nancy Mace who is running.

And he's doing the best that he can to try to stop that as well. Maybe this is why he's coming after her. It would be shocked, Pierce, that some of the names that I have seen that came across the DOJ in emails, that the DOJ is protecting. And we're talking about people on both sides of the aisle. We're talking about famous people, rich people, people in power, prime ministers, former prime ministers, former presidents, etc.

Media personalities. Current presidents? in these files. And that's why I say this is going to go down as the greatest cover-up, one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. And I don't believe the girls are actually going to see justice, which is why it's going to be incumbent upon people like Democrat Roe Conner, a Republican Thomas Massey. I'm a Republican myself who's willing to name some of those names in our committee work on the floor of the House, whatever it takes, because this kind of thing cannot continue to go on. I want to give the next girl hope that when she,

she comes forward, she won't be shamed. Her life won't be smeared in the daily mail or whatever the next press, you know, is going to do. What they do to female victims and to children is disgusting because they're protecting their rich and powerful friends. But you'd be surprised, shocked even at some of the names in the files. And again, I don't think we would necessarily. We're beyond being shocked. And the fact that Trump is so desperate and so vindictive, I think screams that he is guilty as sin. But the reality is, why doesn't she release the information? Thomas Massey has pledged that he's going to do it on the floor of the house before he leaves.

Why are they waiting? Why don't they do it? If they've seen this stuff, why don't they expose this? I think that is the elephant in the room that is not being heard. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children.

They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation. deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.

It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at the Davidnightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. The Davidnightshow.com.
