Starting point is 00:00:29 of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday the 17th of August. Year of Our Lord, 2006. Well, we have new developments in the rolling police state. It's now being militarized as well. We're going to tell you how the Trump administration is doing that. They are claiming with another absurd pervarication that Posse Comitatis
Starting point is 00:01:05 does not apply. Not to them. This is what they have done all along. They do whatever they wish in violation of the law, the Constitution, and moral principles, and they defy you to stop them. Well, the problem is that the resistance that is building to these militarized police surveillance state is now bifurcating politically. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:01:29 We'll tell you how that is breaking down. The arguments are on the Republican side. And we'll also take a look at the new threat from AI. It's not a new threat. We've talked about this a long time. The threat of the AI stock market bubble bursting. We're seeing that this is starting to build to a crescendo as well. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Well, another weekend and another meme fantasy from Donald Trump. I guess maybe they should say, well, the only reason I'm going on all these data centers is because Trump likes to do these ridiculous memes so much. Of course, that's not it, right? But that is what he does over the weekend. And the reality is that at this point in time, he just wants people to talk about that fantasy world that he creates on social media and not about the real world and the damage that he's doing there. And he did just that. You know, he put out a bunch of memes with him alongside George Washington. You know, one of these things is not like the other.
Starting point is 00:02:46 And on a high horse, yeah, especially. And so he's got that out there. And then he finishes up with this dark meme and black and white, kind of a film noir look, saying we're going to win in 2028, just feeding the people, trolling the people on the left, and they bought it,
Starting point is 00:03:05 hookline, and sinker. And so they don't want to talk about the reality of what this guy is doing, which is bad enough. Some Maga people are starting to get the picture, though. This is an example of what I've said is the, the bad way that they're enforcing the border. And I think we need to have border enforcement.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And when you look at what's happening to Suda, the enclave in Morocco that belongs to Spain, when you look at things like that. And when you look at the massive welfare state, again, the best thing you could do is to shut down the welfare state, I think, to all immigrants, legal or illegal. If you want the Alice Island effect, that's it. No welfare state, right?
Starting point is 00:03:46 And so that's the first thing. thing that needs to be done. But what Trump is doing with over-the-top authoritarian law enforcement is backfiring even on some of his MAGA loyalists. A lot of people picked up this story about a guy who was a big Trump supporter and his key issue was the border. But his wife is from Russia. She emigrated in 2021. She was going through the process trying to obey the law. She wasn't on welfare. He was supporting her. She gets picked up at the airport. and then it's not just that they say, well, we might deport you. That's bad enough when she's going through the process and trying to comply with this and there
Starting point is 00:04:26 wasn't any issues with it. But it's a horrific way that she was treated. The conditions in the prison and the, you know, she's walking around now with an ankle bracelet, had $35,000 bond. This is a guy who, 40 years old. And they flew from San Francisco down to L.A. going to Burbank. and as they get off, he says, this is a guy who says, well, I've supported Trump all long and a big supporter of Trump.
Starting point is 00:04:56 They said, my wife didn't jump a wall. She didn't swim a river. She came and Trump's big, beautiful front door. And so, again, he said he voted for Trump three times, mainly because of immigration policy. Be careful what you wish for, right? It's all in how it has implemented, isn't it? And so they said, congratulations, you've been chosen for secondary screening.
Starting point is 00:05:21 She was handcuffed, taken to a holding cell, an unmarked vehicle. She said she spent a great deal of time, first night sleeping on the floor. And she talked about how horrific the conditions were inside the prison, especially for other people, a pregnant woman she talked about. She was held in a detention cell for 16 days, spending the first night on a floor of a basement holding cell in downtown L.A. before being held for two weeks at a detention center and released on $35,000 bail with an ankle bracelet.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So we've been seeing this type of thing over and over again. As a matter of fact, she said that there were only four showers for 120 women. Safe drinking water, she said, was rare. This month, the family of a nice detainee in California published a video that appears to reveal worm-like creature. swimming in a bottle of drinking water that the detainees were given. Do they give my vermectin? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I doubt it. So she said, we're living in fear in our own country. Well, now, of course, Homeland Security spokesperson denies it. They deny when they kill somebody. They deny when they kill somebody and you've got a crowd of people, each of them with a cell phone from a different angle. They still deny it, don't they? And so she said, while she was there,
Starting point is 00:06:46 saw treatment denied to a pregnant woman who was there and needed help. So these people are being picked up who have active immigration cases. They're trying to comply with the law. And they have no criminal history. How many times have we seen this over and over again? Perhaps that's one of the reasons why the massive Trump merchandise store near Knoxville is going out of business. There's a bunch of them around here.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I need to go around and see how they're doing. This guy, the store owner, was pretty up front about it. He said, yeah, nobody's coming anymore. He said, they come in. They don't have the money to buy things because of the war and gas prices and tariffs that Trump has put in. Sounds like he's off the Trump train, doesn't it? Maybe it was all just about the money to start with, just like Alex Jones. A large store in Tennessee that exclusively sells Trump merchandise is closing due to a lack of shoppers.
Starting point is 00:07:43 And so they have a big Trump billboard out front. And then they have a brick outhouse. They put a sign on it, said Democrat Superstore. There you go. There's partisanship at its stupidest, right? Selling off its remaining inventory at 50% discount, going out of business. He admitted the closures due to lack of customers. He made the admission to Slate while he was pushing back against another story that had been published by
Starting point is 00:08:13 local news, the Knox News. The Knox News claimed that he was shutting down because he was retiring and moving south. He goes, well, I've got property down in Florida, but that's not the reason I'm shutting the store down. I'm shutting the store down because nobody's coming anymore, he said. So he said, he recalled the days following the assassination attempt on Trump in July of 2024, saying it was huge. It was huge.
Starting point is 00:08:40 It was really big. He said people are waiting to walk in the door. Everybody was going chew-choo Trump train. This whole building was moving. I mean, it was just, it was unbelievable. Yeah, enough to buy a home in Florida with, I guess. He admitted that Trump's popularity was dwindling. He noted a lot of people are struggling with their finances in the face of Trump's
Starting point is 00:09:03 tariffs, high gas prices resulting from his war in Iran. He said, people are saying, I don't know if I'm going to do a full load of groceries or if I'm going to be able to pay my electric bill, put it on a credit card maybe this month. That's exactly right. Does Trump care about any of that? No, actually, he doesn't. He says, you know, he doesn't even apologize for this. As a matter of fact, listen to what he has to say. So I just say this. So for you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline. So is the guy who made billions. You're doing it so that a A very evil country cannot have.
Starting point is 00:09:43 A country, really, it's the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. Wait a minute. Israel's already got weapons. So do we. So remember that. When you have to pay a little bit more, you're at $4, it's okay. I mean, I'm not, I'll never apologize. I did the right thing.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah, right. So number one sponsor of state terrorism. Let's see. Who was it that created and funded ISIS? That would be us, wouldn't it? And who was it that put Hamas and Gaza? That would be Netanyahu, wasn't it? Okay, so we see that game that you're playing,
Starting point is 00:10:17 and we know who the state sponsors of terrorism are. I'm not saying Iran's a good guy. I'm just saying that we all know that this was not warranted. This is just geopolitics. In the case of Netanyahu, it's their Zionist politics. And the case of Trump, it's ego politics. They realized that he was puffed up with pride after what he did in Venezuela, criminally and illegally, that operation there.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And Lindsey Graham and Netanyahu struck quality ego was hot. And they told him that, yeah, it would be a piece of cake. Don't worry about straight of Hormuz or anything else. Just go in there, right? The CIA's Radcliffe said, this is a farcical plan. And he was right. And others pushed back against it, but he did it. And so he's not going to say he's sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:07 No, it needed to be done, didn't it? Yeah, no, it didn't. And I see these comments. Most of people agreed that it didn't need to be done, but I also comments saying, well, he was the only president who would take on Iran for 50 years. You are so profoundly ignorant if you say that. Stop with the 47, 86-47, folks. It has been 73 years since we took on Iran. Yes, the American government took them on.
Starting point is 00:11:37 We overthrew their government that was elected. And we put in a king, a shaw. That's a Persian for king. And then we trained his ruthless secret police. That went on for about 25 years or so before they got angry enough to overthrow the government. And then, of course, they jumped out of the frying plan and into the fire. I told us no better for them. But that is the blowback that was created by the CIA.
Starting point is 00:12:05 And their insanity that's there. So now when I said Trump is finding new ways to militarize the police, and I mean literally militarize them, make the police the military. U.S. troops can now make arrests in militarized border zones, claims the Department of Justice. Well, somebody needs to take this to the Supreme Court. Hopefully there's some people there who see through all of this. But it's just more authoritarian precedence, isn't it, from President Trump? He's constantly removing the guardrails, constantly pushing, pushing, pushing to create a lawless, tyrannical, authoritarian state.
Starting point is 00:12:48 So now what they're saying is troops deployed at designated border defense zones should have the authority to make arrests, according to an advisory opinion authored by the Department of Justice, published on the 14th, published last Friday. Though the Posse Tomatatis Act is there that prohibits the use of the U.S. of the military, Trump is increasingly called on the military to help secure the border and to police cities and so forth. This is a repeating pattern that he has done. What is the prevarication that they're using for this? Well, they're claiming that they said, this is nothing new. We've always had the ability for the military to make arrest when somebody's at a military base, except these are not military bases. There are no standing structures. There are not well marked, it's open terrain. This is just an area. And they come in and say that this is a
Starting point is 00:13:42 national defense area, just an open area. Nothing there, no markers even. And now they claim that that designated national defense area is a military base. Therefore, as a military base, blah, blah, blah. We can do all the military police, can arrest people and so forth. None of that is true. And again, it is typical of the game that Trump has played over and over again to destroy the rule of law, to destroy the Constitution, to do whatever he pleases and defy anybody to stop them. And so you have this criminal Department of Justice under his pedophile lawyer coverage, you know, covered up for him. No, there's no allegations that Todd Blanche was part of the pedophile stuff, but there's plenty of allegations that Trump was. This is his personal lawyer covering up for him, his personal lawyer, cutting deals with Galane Maxwell, Todd Blanche,
Starting point is 00:14:40 just confirmed to the Department of Justice. This is what you get from these people. You get slush funds. You get $100 million, get out of jail free card from the IRS. You get militarized police at the borders in violation of the Possekama Tata sign. Last year, a federal judge dismissed dozens of cases in which illegal immigrants were accused of trespassing through a national defense area.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Now, I'm not in favor of people coming into this country just walking across the border. But let's understand we don't want to destroy the rule of law in order to stop that. And let's also understand that's a problem that has been created by Republicans and Democrats, a problem that was largely ignored by the Trump administration, just like what's going on with the Somalian gangs in Minnesota and the fraud that's there. all that stuff broke during the first Trump administration. He did nothing about it. As a matter of fact, he wasn't doing anything about that,
Starting point is 00:15:37 about the Somali criminal welfare fraud. He wasn't doing anything about that until Nick Shirley's reports. And then because that went viral, they had to do something about it. It's not clear to me that they've stopped any of that yet. So Trump came out and said that he is going to soon be owning the straight-of-form moves. Or maybe he said he already owned. It's what he had to say here. We're bringing the prices way down.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Look at what's happening. Oh, yeah? Way down. Lyer. Full on liar. Prices are skyrocketing. And if we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated. You already announced that you beat them 30 times.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormos Strait, a territory of the United States. He doesn't even know the name. Hormos. Hormos. Essentially, that's what it. We have the blockade. Yeah, you know, I had listeners comments. Pretty soon he'll be calling it the Hormel straight.
Starting point is 00:16:43 It's getting kind of chilly there during the winter, I guess. But yeah, he came pretty close to that. Ormos. Profoundly ignorant, constantly boasting, and think you don't know the difference. Well, the reality can be felt by everybody, can't it? and a lot of people complained about the fact he said, well, Iran can't have that straight of Hormuz. That'd be a violation of international law. Then he comes out and says, we're going to own it.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Isn't that violation of international law? And as I've said before, the entire distance between the Strait of Hormuz between the two different countries, Oman and Iran, is 21 miles. It's not as far as Catalina is from the California coast. And yet we extend our jurisdictional. claims, 200 miles into the ocean. And then we claim that border patrol can operate within 100 miles going the other way inside the border and suspend the Constitution and all types of things like that when you have border patrol involved. He said the Strait of Hormuz has been
Starting point is 00:17:51 Iranian is, I'm sorry, this is not him. Of course, this is the Iranian government. Strait of Hormuz has been Iranian is Iranian and will remain Iranian. They said the straight will only be closed and opened under Iran's command. The Iranian official claimed that all of Trump's assumptions about the conflict were delusional, saying that Washington does not accept the reality of defeat. And so must stop indulging in these delusions. But yes, it was a delusional weekend. You know, he had the memes, he had the statements that he made.
Starting point is 00:18:24 they say Iran has reached an agreement with Oman on a shipping route map for the Strait of Ramos after weeks of technical negotiations. Foreign Ministry spokesman said that despite U.S. obstruction, the talks have made positive progress over the past three weeks, and an agreement has been reached on the shipping route map. But again, it goes back to the illusion. Does Trump even believe this stuff? I mean, I guess that would be the Trump delusion syndrome, wouldn't it? Not only do these people not work for the benefit of humanity, they don't even work for America.
Starting point is 00:18:59 They work for their own interests. As soon as the stock market closes, they start hostilities. The stock market opens. They send positive messages to raise stock prices. All the while, they are buying and selling the stocks themselves. That's exactly right, except you got one little thing. It's just before the stock market opens, right? That's when they put out the happy news.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Everybody sees this. It's not just the Iranians. It's not just you and I. Gerald Sunti pointed this out a long time ago. Everybody sees what is happening. People on Wall Street said, well, Taco, Trump always changes his mind. He changes his mind to manipulate the markets. We know exactly what is happening.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Well, the buck always stops somewhere else for Donald Trump, doesn't it? And that is, you know, he'll never admit that he has made a mistake. He will never back down. he'll just foolishly keep on going because of ego politics, not geopolitics. As one person said, history professor in Florida Atlantic University said, taking responsibility being a characteristic of presidential leadership or of any kind of leadership is absolutely true and necessary. And he pointed out this has not always been something that hurt presidents.
Starting point is 00:20:18 He gives an example of JFK and of Reagan. and he said JFK saw his approval ratings rise after acknowledged that he was to blame for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. Ronald Reagan said he was sorry for any involvement he may have had in the Iran-Contra scandal, even while saying he wasn't sure that he was to blame. So he said the buck nevertheless stops here with me.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Isn't interesting to see that Oliver North, who was a part of that Iran-Contra thing, and again, taking money and giving arms to Iran so they could get money that was going to be in a black budget and fund an illegal war in Central America. Oliver North was right at the center of that. And now he is a Fox News commentator calling for war with Iran. Same guy.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah, well, the buck didn't stop with him, did it. Trump's family, by the way, has a way to get you to store the bucks with them. They have their crypto project, just got one step closer to becoming a bank. federal regulators have granted a conditional banking charter to world liberty financial the cryptocurrency venture controlled by Trump and his family and remember the um i forget the guy's name it was a son i think or something like that he was a chinese guy who'd made a lot of money in crypto and he was the one who bought that
Starting point is 00:21:38 piece of quote unquote art that was a banana duct taped to a wall oh and it came with a license saying that you can replace that banana as it spoils. But anyway, he bought that thing for $5 million, and he made a big show of taking the tape off and eating the banana, just flaunting his wealth. Well, he also had some problems with federal regulators here in the United States, and they all went away because as soon as Trump got in, he had been one of the early investors in World Liberty Financial,
Starting point is 00:22:12 and he invested at a very critical time for their circumstances. survival and put a lot of money into it. And so when Trump gets in, he takes care of his cronies, doesn't he? And I've said for the longest time, what is going on with this push towards a digital currency really is taking us from CBDC to the next stage, CCDC, instead of central bank digital currency. How about crony capitalist digital currency? Or how about crony corruption digital currency. And that's really what we're looking at. The Office of the Comptroller of the currency led by a Trump appointee, of course, announced the decision on Friday. This will allow World Liberty Financial to issue its own stable coin tokens without relying on an intermediary.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And so, just like Lucky Lutnik, Howard Lutnik, another Epstein crony, he, I said for the longest time, you know, he's got, he's involved with Tether, which is already one of the biggest stable coins. I said, this is all set up for him to make tremendous amounts of money as they move to a stable coin and away from actual currency. And they're doing that very rapidly right now. And, uh, but now, of course, the Trump family's got to wet their beak as well, right? We got another mafia family that needs to get in on this.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Trump earned $65 million in 2025 from the sale of, of shares in World Liberty Financial. His financial disclosures further indicated nearly $600 million in proceeds that year from selling stable coins and other digital assets through the company. Now they're going to escalate them to banking status. They've gotten preliminary approval to launch a bank. And it was kind of interesting. You know, I talked about it briefly at the time.
Starting point is 00:24:06 one of these events, and there's many events that happen in the Gulf states with these oil-rich sheiks that the Trumps go to. And one of them, you had Eric Trump and, of course, his sidekick Whitkoff's son as well. The two of them going around is we had Hunter Biden under Joe Biden. Now we've got two of them. We got two Nepo babies involved in corruption going around, catching in on this stuff. And so they were there at one of these conferences in a Gulf state. And Eric Trump was saying at the time, all banks are going to be gone within 10 years
Starting point is 00:24:43 are going to be replaced the stable coins. Well, this is their bridge to that, right? They can operate as a bank in the transitional process, but then they want to go to a full-on stable coin as well. Well, some people are on to the corruption, as a matter of fact. The BBC is seeking to subpoena Trump family members in their defamation suit. Remember, Trump said, well, I don't like the way you reported the news. We see this happening all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:09 We got an amazing report from James O'Keefe showing corruption in the elections. We're going to show that to you here in a moment. But the reaction of the government there was to come after him, not to take action on it. Same thing that we saw with David Adelaiden with the Center for Medical Progress when he videotaped the fact that Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts. You know, you tell us what you need and we'll kill a baby and give it to you, that type of thing. Rather than come after that crime, you had, it was Kamala Harris was the Attorney General in California at the time, Lala Harris. And then she was followed by Javier Bissera.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And both of them came after David Delighton and the Center for Medical Progress. said, how dare you record them? They won't come after the crime. And so the same type of thing is happening over and over again with these people. The BBC is trying to subpoena Trump because Trump sued them. So I don't like the way you covered this, which is essentially what is happening with the James O'Keefe thing. How dare you expose this, just like David Delighton.
Starting point is 00:26:24 We're not going to do anything about the crime that you exposed. We're going to come after you. we're going to shoot the messenger. And so lawyers for the BBC say Trump family members without question have personal knowledge about what was going on with January 6th. And folks, that was one of the biggest grifts of his first term. All that stopped the steel stuff. He and Alex Jones, it was just amazing the grift that they were pulling on people. He got between $250 and $500 million, depending on who you ask.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Trump did. I don't know how many millions Alex made, but yeah, it was up there. And ripped off his own people, sent them into a trap, and then abandoned them. Did not give them a pardon when he could have and should have. And so now he is suing the BBC for talking about some of this stuff. It'll be interesting to find out some information about what really happened with that. We're going to take a quick break. And as I said, we're going to be back in just a brief time here.
Starting point is 00:27:28 and we're going to talk about what is going on with James O'Keefe, another example of major corruption in a country. So we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Hello, it's me, Volodymer Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions, I've skimmed off America.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I could dress better. And I could, if only David Knight, would send me one of his beautiful gray Mcuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show.com.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green. military cosplay to my various gala and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Well, welcome back, comment from Audi Modern Retro Radio. He says Navy officers and ICE detainees are living in similar conditions based on reports.
Starting point is 00:30:33 So, yeah, I would say that's true. It's horrific conditions. And, of course, Trump was fairly callous about it. And Hegset, as you would expect, is in complete denial. But the families, the people on board of USS Abraham Lincoln are pressing Navy leaders over the sailors' mental health. And when you look at this, it truly is amazing. Our aircraft carriers have become aircraft carriers, in a sense.
Starting point is 00:31:03 what is happening on board. And it's not just this one. Remember, we had the other aircraft carrier that said that it had laundry fires and had septic systems backing up and said, well, we've had problems with this system in the past. And I said, well, I wonder if that's the case. Or if really they got hit and they don't want to admit that they got hit. But apparently, it looks like it is an inherent problem because this one is also seeing many of the same things. One spouse
Starting point is 00:31:32 tearfully told officials that she received a message from her husband saying that he hopes he doesn't wake up tomorrow. I talked about that on Friday. And again, this is coming out of stars and stripes. This is coming out of many military publications that are there. And as
Starting point is 00:31:48 Trump was stopped on the tarmac and I've got the clip here, but the audio is just incomprehensible. Maybe there's a better one I can find somewhere, but I didn't have the good audio on it. So I won't play it for you. But basically when he was by a reporter. He said, they said, is, you know, eight or nine months? Is that too long for these curious? Oh, no, it's not nearly long enough. Totally disconnected from what is happening
Starting point is 00:32:13 with America and totally disconnected with the military. Just remember, he's willing to send these people to die for Israel, isn't he? No question about it. He doesn't value their lives. Why would care about the conditions that they're living in. The words expressed at Thursday's meetings in San Diego echo those raised independently with stars and stripes by sailors and family members in recent weeks. And again, they've gotten the text messages and it is horrific. The pictures of what the alleged food looks like is insane. They've now been deployed for more than eight months, including a record-breaking number
Starting point is 00:32:52 of days at sea without a port stop. They've been at sea for 250 days. Typically, they go 30 to 45 days for a port stop, but they've been at sea for 250 days. It's gone through much of the deployment without any regular port calls. Port calls to typically give carrier crews a break from life at sea. Carriers generally pull into port every 30 to 45 days to allow for replenishment, maintenance, and crew rest. But, of course, none of that is happening right now. One person said, my son is currently on a ship and listening him to say that he and his shipmates constantly think about jumping off the ship, just for relief, is so hard to listen to.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Our loved ones are out there fighting with no understanding as to what they're defending. That's right. There is no understanding for it. Who can understand what we are doing for Israel, right? Unless you watch Mark Levin. Fight them to the last American. Die for Israel. That's right. That's what we're fighting for. We're fighting for the Mark Levens of this world who have Trump's ear and the Israeli government that's got his pocketbook. So again, Trump has a callous response as U.S. soldiers are throwing themselves overboard, not nearly long enough. That's what he's telling people. So since the start of, and they got this right at the Daily Mail, this is a UK publication. They called it Trump's war.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Let's stop calling it the Iran conflict. It's not a conflict. It's a war. And it's a war that Iran did not start. Trump started. Started it for Israel. So it is Trump's war. And it is the albatross, hopefully around the GOP's neck.
Starting point is 00:34:41 It should be. They should pay a price for this. Reports have surfaced of food shortages, rationing aboard the Lincoln, company by grim images of their meals. And again, they're saying, We don't have any meat. We don't have any fresh meat. A lot of the meat that we get is spoiled.
Starting point is 00:34:57 We have no milk. We have no vegetables. And yet, what is a response from that guy who seems to love the military so much? Pete Hegsafe. Completely misrepresented. Listen, we make sure at every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment. They'll just lie about everything. And I have more.
Starting point is 00:35:20 respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in those high seas and those austere conditions with less port calls, it's incredible. Americans don't understand what it's like to do that. Neither do you. As someone who's not been on a ship like that, but been on long deployments, I feel it. I want them home as soon as everybody else. Do I want folks rotated as quickly as possible?
Starting point is 00:35:46 I want the best for them. My commanders know that. Our service secretaries know that. The president expects that. You're there for Trump's ego. Shut up, you liar. I can't believe it. Who are you going to believe the people who are desperately writing text messages to their family?
Starting point is 00:36:02 Are you going to believe the pictures that they send of what the slop that they're getting there? Are you going to believe Pete Hegseth, this high school football coach and cheerleader? It's pathetic. Nine months at sea. Typically, it's about six months. And as I said before, the use. usually get a port call between 30 and 45 days. They haven't had a port call for 250 days.
Starting point is 00:36:26 But the key issue with all of this stuff is that, and again, you got Pete Hedgeseth going full Baghdad Bob. But the key issue with all this is why do they have, why have their supply lines broken like this? How do they not able to supply a aircraft carrier? As we point out on Friday, you know, since Napoleon, we've all known that an army travels on its stomach, and the same thing is true of the Navy as well. You've got to have logistics in there. You can't win a war. But what does it matter with this? Did they not plan?
Starting point is 00:37:04 I mean, certainly they didn't plan for the Strait of Hormuz, did they? But in this particular case, it appears that the real issue is the base in Bahrain. That had to be abandoned. Why? because at the very beginning of Trump's war, you had people who were honest and knowledgeable, people like retired Colonel Douglas McGregor, people like former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, and former Marine. And they were telling everybody what was happening at the time.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And I passed that on to you secondhand. But what they were saying was that the Iranians were very effectively targeting the radar installation, which took down a lot of the capacity of the defensive missile systems. Didn't take it down completely, but now they have more than decimated those things. I mean, they've used up between 50 and 80 percent, depending on the type of missile that you're talking about. So that is huge. It's not down 10 percent. It's down 50 to 80 percent.
Starting point is 00:38:09 But before that, the accuracy was compromised by the fact that the Iranians had targeted a billion-dollar radar array that was going to give early warning about any missiles fired out of Iran. What they do is as soon as these missiles are fired, the radar locks in on them, calculates the trajectory, and that helps the missiles to take it down. Iran, however, has a class of missiles that change speed, and so that messes up their calculations. They're not going just at a constant rate of speed, so it makes it difficult to calculate the trajectory. But then again, they lost a lot of the early warning stuff as well. And so what they were pointing out was that Iran sent in a huge mass of lower tech missiles at the beginning. And they said, yeah, they're sending in these low tech cheap things that don't
Starting point is 00:39:01 work that well. And they're keeping their best stuff in reserve. They're using the low tech stuff to use up the supplies of defensive missiles. At the same time, they took out a lot of the ice of the missile system as well. Then with the defensive missile system gone, they started attacking U.S. military bases. U.S. military bases have had to have been abandoned at this point. And those abandoned military bases were key part of the resupply. And yet you have a Hegset that's got a new motto now,
Starting point is 00:39:35 as he's looking for the next war, which is going to be the actual physical drug war, that we're going back to Tom Clancy's idea that was in a clear and present danger that book series. And it's not a good idea, folks. This is something that even when he did that, it was not an effective way to double down on the war on drugs. They do the war on drugs. And so for, what, 55 years, we've had a war on drugs that was created by the UN. It was the UN that created the four schedules and cited which drugs are going to those four schedules.
Starting point is 00:40:10 They gave that to Nixon, and Nixon just called it his and turned in his homework and got it passed. We see this happening all the time. As a matter of fact, they have for Republicans, Democrats have one. One for Republicans is the American Legislative Exchange Council, Alec. And these Republicans will go to these vacation events that they set up for them, these congressmen or many cases of state representatives as well. they'll hand them model legislation and say put the name of your state up at the top sign it down at the bottom and turn in your homework and they do that's why this stuff looks so similar all the time and so the union did that with war on drugs with richard nixon and of course they did that with the lockdown stuff as well after they did their war game of dark winter two months before nine eleven and then an anthrax attack one week after nine eleven then the Congress put together some model legislation and sent it out to all the states.
Starting point is 00:41:10 And said, here, pass all this stuff. That's what they used against us in 2020. And Trump didn't have to command it. He made it happen with money. Again, you either tell people, I'm going to give you a lot of money if you do this, or if they're already getting money in that type of area, you blackmail them and say, I'm going to take that money away if you don't do what I just told you to do. And so we have seen this type of thing happening over.
Starting point is 00:41:37 over and over again. They have the legislation, they pass it out. And so now we're seeing this in so many different fronts, especially as they're rolling out the technocratic tyranny at this point in time with the police surveillance state. There is money as well as a legislative agenda that is there. So now they want to step up the drug war. They want to go in and start attacking these cartels. I think what's going to happen with that is you're going to wind up having these cartels be something like Hezbollah or Hamas. They're going to start being funded by Iran. And this is just all too obvious. They already have military type equipment. And if the U.S. military starts going after them, then they are going to escalate it with that. So what do we do?
Starting point is 00:42:25 Well, maybe we might realize that one of their biggest profit centers, of course, they've moved in a lot of other things right now. They've moved into human trafficking and prostitution and many other things. like just like any kind of mob. But why did we not have that with Al Capone? Well, that only ran for about 10 years, right? And this has been going on for over 50 years. So these people have gotten really big at this point in time. They've got a lot of profit centers of illegal activity. And they are weaponized with a lot of military equipment and they can get more. We've already seen at the border you have some of these drones that are fly by wire by fiber optics. And they're can't be jammed with electronic communications.
Starting point is 00:43:09 So that's already something that we've seen on the battlefields with Ukraine and Russia. They could use these things to take out a lot of infrastructure here in the United States. So they're sleepwalking right into that trap, I think. His new motto is, we do bad things to bad people. That's the new motto for counter-cartel coalition. They're stepping into that in a big way. and it is another thing that is going to blow back and backfire on us. But again, the real issue with this carrier is also the issue that many people are talking about
Starting point is 00:43:46 in terms of the overreach and decline of the American Empire. The fact that the military bases and the aircraft carriers are all tied together, that is being broken in this dirty little war that Trump has started. And it is something that is far worse than. and the defeat that we suffered in Vietnam. That did nothing to American prestige and American Empire. Not that I support an American empire. You got to understand that this American Empire is not in the interest of the American people.
Starting point is 00:44:18 We want a republic, not an empire. But the Navy's carrier problems are tied to attacks on the U.S. base early in the war. This is from the New York Times, and they're pointing out that they now have to get supplied from far away from Diego Garcia because they can no longer get supplies from Bahrain because that has had to been abandoned. And we were told about that from the very beginning of the Trump war. But let's take a look at what is going on in general with the news. We have airports have in Texas have now canceled plan for not multiple but just one. They do have these special Muslim ablution stations.
Starting point is 00:45:06 They have them already in Houston. They were going to put them in at Dallas, Fort Worth. And it became an issue on social media. And so Governor Abbott had to pretend that he cared about it. He didn't stop it when it happened in Houston. But they did stop it at Dallas, Fort Worth. I thought it was kind of funny. When we went to the UK in spring of 2021 with the kids, we went to the British Museum.
Starting point is 00:45:30 2001. What did I say? 2021. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's not. I'm off my 20. Anyway, yes, 2001. It was before 9-11. And we went to the British Museum and went into the restroom and they had all these signs up. Do not use the sinks for your morning ablutions. I thought, what in the world is an ablution? And basically it's just washing. And I thought, wow, they think that their homeless people have a pretty high vocabulary, don't they? But actually, the ablution is a religious ceremony for Muslims to wash their feet. And so we want to accommodate our Muslims so we can have more of them, don't we? Officials at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
Starting point is 00:46:12 abruptly reversed course on plans to provide taxpayer-funded special accommodations for Muslims. After the governor warned their grants were under review because such facilities, quote, cannot favor one religion over all others. And he was awakened by social media. protests. The project was going to be $300,000 expenditure for the tax funds for specialized foot washing stations for Muslims at the facility. So Dallas-Fort Worth plans to install Islamic wadu washing facilities. That is illegal, said the governor, and I've directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation and referred Dallas-Fort Worth and the International Airport of Houston to the U.S. Department of Transportation for
Starting point is 00:46:59 investigation. Again, how does this, how does the governor do this, right? He can't really tell them what to do. I don't think he's really got a law. He's kind of stretching it here at this point. But what he does is he says, I'm going to take away their money. That's the approach. And that's why when you look at what Thomas Massey came up with in terms of a bill out of
Starting point is 00:47:23 about flock cameras, he got it right. What he said was, let's tell these police stations and city councils, that if you put in flock cameras, we're going to cut funding from the federal government to your police department or your city or whatever. That gets people's attention. That's how it's done. You don't have to have jurisdiction.
Starting point is 00:47:45 You don't have to violate the 10th Amendment, which prohibits that type of thing. You just say, we're going to cut off the money that we give you all the time, and they'll do what you want. He said the report said the proposal would have added one ablution station inside an existing men's restroom, another inside an existing woman's restroom. They first said it was going to be privately funded. Later, the dollar amount went down and said it was going to be funded by the government, state government.
Starting point is 00:48:16 So initially, I said it was 300,000 privately funded. Then they said 115,000, Republican. funds. So the woodoos or the ablution is an Islamic ritual of purification performed before daily prayers. The stations are specialized, have specialized plumbing fixtures that feature low-level basins for washing the feet and seating that allows individuals to comfortably wash their hands, face, and arms, the report explained. So it's much more comfortable than the sinks in the British Museum, I guess. Purpose built. Representative Keith Self of Texas, said this isn't an accommodation. It is a conquest, and it's only the beginning. The Sharia takeover
Starting point is 00:49:00 happening right before our eyes must be stopped. The early signals said last year, a pastor, Tom Askell, said that he encountered a group of Muslims using the airport chapel while he was waiting for a flight. According to him, an airport announcement invited travelers to a prayer service in the chapel, but when he arrived at the chapel, he found a group of Muslims had taken over the space with their own prayer rugs and he was denied entry. Yeah, that's what happens, right? We get shut out of our own country. And this is happening with the Islamists
Starting point is 00:49:32 marching across the border and the Zionists who have marched through the institutions at the top. I actually encountered a guy washing his feet in a gas station bathroom on the last trip we took from here to Texas. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Well, good for him. I can't even get my legs to bend like that anymore. So there's that. But yeah, this is what it looks like, folks. Here's Michigan. Everybody wearing these burkas covered head to toe. Kids and women. Yeah, it is a conquest.
Starting point is 00:50:10 That's what's happening at the lower level. And then at the upper level, we have the Zionists who have marched through the institutions and taken them over. In Germany, we have a diversity controversy. have a Berlin swimming pool that was funded by taxpayer money. They said, well, we don't want to have a situation where you have to have an ID or paid membership or whatever to go swimming. This ought to be open to everybody. And they put it there in conjunction with the Berlin theater that is there.
Starting point is 00:50:45 And as soon as they did this, you know, it's going to be free for everybody to use, right? As soon as they open it up, they advertise a day where they're only going to have black people allowed in the pool. This is what it looked like here. Berlin reserves the public pool for black people. So they pushed back on this and they said, well, that's in violation of our laws that prohibit discrimination against race and other issues like that.
Starting point is 00:51:16 So the way they got around it was they said, well, this is going to be for a particular group. It is for the each one teach one NGO, a non-governmental organization. But that describes itself as, quote, a place of learning and meeting for people of African descent. And according to Dasbilled, the newspaper there, they said white people are generally not welcome at meetings of that NGO. Despite this, the Each One Teach One Group is financed in part by taxpayer funds from both the federal and the local Berlin government. So there you go. It's our own governments who are allied against us, just as we see in the UK. And we're starting to see in many jurisdictions here in America as well. So they fund this NGO
Starting point is 00:52:06 with government funding. The NGO doesn't like to have white people in it. And now the NGO is going to be getting the swimming pool reserved for them, which is another way of doing it for black people only. The so-called people's pool is financed by Berlin's third. theater, it receives public funding to the tune of 20 million euros. That's about $23 million a year. Swimming pools across Europe have increasingly become flashpoints for the multicultural project. Last year, when four Syrian nationals were arrested at a pool in a small town after allegedly sexually assaulting nine underage girls, including an 11-year-old. Some swimming facilities have taken to banning foreigners, including the Swiss manipulative.
Starting point is 00:52:54 municipality that after a group of North African migrants came over the border from France to use the pool, they reportedly ignored the rules such as hygiene standards. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what they were doing in the pool. I guess it's what people typically do in the pool, maybe beyond that. So, yeah, public pools are not something that I've ever really been interested in under any circumstances regardless of who's there. Local subscriptions to the pools surged after migrants were banned for that. And yet when you look at Suda, remember the enclave there, a Spanish enclave that is part of the, that is contiguous with Morocco and they invaded it, that is still going on.
Starting point is 00:53:43 As a matter of fact, look at this. This is a woman complaining to the police that they're not doing anything to protect her or other people. She says, I'm terrified. I'm I supposed to take the dog out? I said my life, neither the police nor the military protect me. The dog protects me. She's the only one who protects me.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Because there's no military or police on the streets. We're terrified. I'm terrified, she said. You can't live like this. She said, fear, I'm terrified. And I'm fed up with all this stuff. Yeah, that's exactly what is happening. The government does not protect us.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I said before, you know, we have the Zionists and leftists who have marched through the institutions on the top. And they're the ones who are opening up the borders for the people at the bottom to come in as well. And so she said, I can't get any police or military to protect me. I only have my dog for protection. So I guess it's kind of like the rules in Washington, D.C. They say, in Washington, if you want a friend, get a dog. I guess if you want protection, get a dog as well. And that wasn't even a bad dog.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I mean, that was like a golden retriever or something. It wasn't a pit bull or anything. She needs to step it up. She needs something vicious. Large mastiff, perhaps. That's right. Maybe she couldn't control it, but they're not controlling the borders. I guess it's every man for himself and every dog for himself.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Well, in another case of DEI gone crazy. We have a former Cambridge professor, Jason Arde, found dead at 41. He committed suicide. And this is something that had been unfolding for a couple of weeks. I didn't talk about it because it's just yet another example of the government and the institutions at the top who have bent over backwards for the people to come in at the bottom, if you will, over the borders. And in this particular case, they were bragging about the fact that this guy was the
Starting point is 00:55:47 youngest college professor that they'd had at University of Cambridge, and he was under 40 when he became a professor. And yet, people started seeing that he was making stuff up, incredulous stuff that he was putting as part of his resume, patting it. He had issues with plagiarism, but he was also making fabulous claims like George Santos. Or let's just say Donald Trump as well, right? crazy claims about things that everybody knows are not true. One of the things that he said, which is obviously false and put a lot of people onto him, he claimed that he had been on the British series Seven Up. That's profoundly ignorant because you go back and look at it.
Starting point is 00:56:29 This is something that he wouldn't have been old enough to have done. This is something that started back in 1964. And what they did was they had a documentary. They went out and they found a bunch of kids of different, socioeconomic classes, right? Some rich kids, some poor kids and so forth. And they interviewed them about what life was like, what was school like, and, you know, their family life and that type of thing.
Starting point is 00:56:54 And it was very compelling. And so the producers did that again another seven years later. They did a whole series of these things. So you have seven up, 14 up, 21 up, 28, et cetera, right? The most recent one was 63 up. That was done in 2019. and so again this guy is off by a few decades in terms of his age and qualifying for that. They were all done, by the way, by a director who did some Hollywood films later as well.
Starting point is 00:57:26 He started out doing these documentaries and he got some big budget films, none of which I really liked or even bothered to look at. Gorillas in the mist, you know, one of these types of things. But Michael Apted. but he just recently died, so he won't be doing the final one, which is 70 up. They're going to be talking to the survivors about what life is like. I've seen some of those actually pretty interesting, but there's absolutely no way this guy would have been able to be in it. It was a real red flag to a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:58:00 But when people started asking him questions to verify this, they called the police on him. And the police showed up the people who questioned this guy who was lying to everybody. His sudden passing comes a week after he stepped down. He was a professor of the sociology of education. That's what you study if you want to get a BS degree. And I don't mean Bachelor of Science. What an accomplishment.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Citing, he cited an unrelenting level of public scrutiny. You think? Yeah, that's what happens when you lie continually. Yeah. His lies are all ridiculous. They're all as stupid and obvious as his seven-up, claiming he ran 600 miles in six days or, you know, 30 marathons and 35 days. And it's just to do that, you have to have very specific genetics and be at the very, very top of your field. This is something very, very few people on the entire planet can do.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Yeah. It'd be documented. He claimed he'd raised millions of dollars for charity. Claimed he was an assistant professor at all these different places, that sort of thing. And there's no records. They did zero checking. It was the most obvious, bold-faced lie. Anybody on the street you could have walked up like,
Starting point is 00:59:14 do you believe this resume? And they would have said, no, this is obviously fake. Well, he checked all the DEI boxes. That's all they needed to see there, right? They didn't need to go back and verify anything in his resume. And we have seen this over and over again. When you look at George Santos, for example, or even Donald Trump. We'll just leave it there.
Starting point is 00:59:33 We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back, folks. Stay with us. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Night Show. They're doing what in the place they named after me? Good thing I have the David Night Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors. Making sense common again. This is the David Night Show.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah, that's George Washington's retort, I guess, to the memes that Trump is spending out over the world. weekend featuring George Washington. The best one I saw was an anti-Trump meme. And it had all these presidents standing around this catering cart. And you had Trump curled up inside of it wearing a diaper. They're all licking at him in disdain. I thought that was spot on. I don't have that to show you here.
Starting point is 01:01:04 But what I do want to show you is the report from James O'Keefe. Minnesota officials saw this report. And instead of doing something about the obvious problem, problems that he exposes here. They threaten him and the guy who's with him for exposing this scheme that these guys had. This is what he found there. Let's see here. It is. Here we go. I'm vouching for them. The name is William Lawrence. The question about the vouching program. Yeah? Vouching? I can vouch for them, but they are not. That's okay. That's fine. Can I bring five more from Up to eight people?
Starting point is 01:01:46 Okay, that's a good thing. We go back and we get traditional and Ernesto and Mohamed. In Minnesota, you can show up on Election Day and vouch for up to eight unregistered voters. Members of the Justice League dress up in traditional Muslim attire, including a transgender wearing a burqa, and put this vouching law to an extreme test on primary day, August 11. Gonna be a baller shot caller 20 inch blades only impala The vouching for me
Starting point is 01:02:20 I vouching for them Oh great Is that okay? Yes How does that work? Well, if you're all in the same precinct Yes And you are already registered which looks like you are
Starting point is 01:02:30 Then you can vouch for them as ID for them Oh good She says to me I say they do not need ID She says you are the ID He is the ID I am the ID And no ID needed I just vouch for them. You're the ID? I am the ID. How many people may I vouch for?
Starting point is 01:02:48 Eight. Eight? I can vouch for eight people. Eight people. No idea. We come by black. Thank you. Most poll workers we visited were willing to let us vouch with no questions asked, even when presented with the most absurd situation imaginable, while other poll workers did take issue with our investigation, revealing their awareness that something about this vouching system is deeply flawed. or wrong. Yet for some reason, they don't want us to agree. Yeah, something about that is wrong, but not according to the government officials. Secretary of State is threatening them. He says, this group used concealed cameras to record their interactions to poll workers. Yeah. What they showed was that not only the poll workers
Starting point is 01:03:33 not requiring ID, but they also have no ID what's happening here with us. And they don't care. O'Keefe and the other people with him released the video documenting how they were told that they could if registered voters, and again, she doesn't check any of that. Are you a registered voter? Are you in the same district as they are? Well, then okay, then you can vouch for them. How does she know that they're in the same district?
Starting point is 01:03:59 How does she know that he's a registered voter? None of that. So they can vouch for up to eight more unregistered people in a plan that was set up by Minnesota that would then allow those. eight to vote immediately. As a matter of fact, as they're leaving. They said, wait, wait, you forgot to vote. Please come back and vote. It's clownish, isn't it? So the secretary of state's name is Steve Simon. James O'Keefe said, so why is Steve Simon threatening us with an election worker says, you are the ID?
Starting point is 01:04:34 He said, clearly some election officials told us that we could vouch for eight people. Again, it's the same type of thing that you see over and over again where you expose murder of babies for body parts or other things like that. The government officials will come after you. Minnesota Local News quotes the Secretary of State throwing veiled threats at myself and the Citizens for Justice League is what they call themselves, wearing a burqa and exposing vulnerabilities in the state's voting laws. So what the Secretary of State said is that they released a heavily edited video. Well, yeah, they're always released that way. This is why when you look at Trump's lawsuits against CBS 60 Minutes and lawsuits against other organizations, you edited it. Everybody edits it.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I mean, I frequently will find a clip that's maybe minute 30 long and there's some dead space in there. It's a little bit of time before they get to the meat of what is being happened. So I cut it off. It doesn't change the context. I don't want to lose context on it. But, you know, when you've got something, nothing is happening. I mean, we even edit home videos. I mean, you've got a situation where, you know, you're taking home videos and nothing
Starting point is 01:05:56 is happening. And all of a sudden, the kid dumps the birthday cake on somebody's head. So that's the part that you want. Oh, wait a minute. That's edited. That didn't happen all the time. of course we understand that. It's not a matter of if something was edited.
Starting point is 01:06:08 It's if it was deceptively edited, if the intent was changed. That's right. And yet that was the argument rightfully made by CVS against Trump's lawsuit. There wasn't anything that was deceptive. There wasn't anything that was consequential about what they edited for the Lala Harris interview. And Trump had won the election, but he just wanted to get even with them. and to intimidate them. And he did intimidate them. And they eventually settled with him because the owner wanted to sell the company and could only sell the company if they settled that lawsuit. So he got tens of
Starting point is 01:06:45 millions of dollars for that. Poll workers immediately reported these visits to local election officials and law enforcement in reviewing the situation. He said the Secretary of State. He said the misconduct by this group. Why is that misconduct? Again, if some of the people reported that, that still means that the people that he showed that were doing it, that's not an excuse to say that, well, not everybody was a part of this scheme, but there were people who were a part of it.
Starting point is 01:07:14 That's the truth of it. He said, this is totally unacceptable. I have zero tolerance for lying, lawbreaking, and disruptions at our polling places. Again, that is,
Starting point is 01:07:26 unless the lawbreaking, the lying, and the disruptions favor our candidates and our voters. Then they love it. O'Keefe explained the state's voter vouching strategy said under Minnesota's statute, registered voter can sign an affidavit, affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people. We wanted to find out what this actually looks like inside a polling place and how the election
Starting point is 01:08:00 workers would let us take it. So again, they wear the comical costumes. One of them they had because it's a full burqa. This is our transgender Muslim that is here. It's a guy who was wearing the full burqa and pretending that it was a woman. If you're all in the same precinct and you're already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Again, no proof for any of them. that. That is what is happening with our elections. And he also investigated duplicate absentee ballots that returned in Detroit, Michigan. Well, again, I agree with Trump and all the rest of these people that you should not have who are pushing the Save America Act. I think you ought to have idea. I've always said that. I've always criticized that about North Carolina where we used to vote. And I'll just mention again the fact that a friend of my brother-in-laws went to vote and all needed was a name and an address. And he gave him this name and address. I looked him up and said, oh, you've already voted. He said, no, I haven't. Oh, yeah. And this other person at your address
Starting point is 01:09:08 voted, he said, that's my mother. She's been dead for years. And so that is a real issue. All you need is a name and address. You go through and vote the phone book in North Carolina. And so you do need to have ID. And we do know that because of this vote by mail, we've had massive fraud. But who started that? please maga who started that all you save america act people who started the vote by mail that was donald trump and we reported when it was happening in 2020 i said this exactly so this is massive corruption an invitation to corruption and we had a lot of reports at the time of people getting multiple ballots they might have been close to to because the way they germander the districts right they might have been close to a district boundary or something like that.
Starting point is 01:09:59 And so they got ballots from both districts. And it was massive fraud and it was always open to fraud. But who opened that? Who set the precedent? It was President Trump. So state workers even were comfortable with individuals introduced as, quote, Hamas militants. Yesterday I walked into a polling location, said Anthony Rubin,
Starting point is 01:10:22 in Minneapolis with two Muslim men. and I told the poll workers that they were Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip. Poll workers were ready to get them registered to vote so long as I, quote, vouched for them. And he's going to be putting his video up pretty soon. His name is Anthony Rubin. That was not what James O'Keefe did, but he's got another one there where he can introduce them as terrorist. And that's just fine with everybody. Also, I just have to say, if someone is too lazy or stupid to figure out how to get
Starting point is 01:10:54 an ID? I don't think their opinion should matter. Sorry, you don't get a say in how things are run if you can't figure out how to go get a little piece of paper. That's right. Well, and of course, as we point out all the time, you've got to have an ID to cash a check or whatever, but
Starting point is 01:11:10 I guess many of these people operate on a cash basis, right? Some of the people who are operating on a cash basis, or at least with taxpayer cash, are the small A's in Minnesota. And this is something, as I said before, has been going on for a very long time. Somali piracy has now surged under the Trump War.
Starting point is 01:11:29 The effect of closure of the Strait of Hormuz has forced hundreds of commercial ships onto longer routes around Africa. And so this has been a bonanza for the Somali pirates. They basically got them a bit under control back in 2011. There was an international crackdown against the Somali pirates. But now it has come back with a vengeance. the Iran War has now delivered these groups more targets that are spread across thousands of miles of ocean
Starting point is 01:12:00 while diverting naval resources to the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. And so again, there's nothing new about this. This type of stuff was going on for a very long time. Just like I said before, the group, and I used to joke about it, El Shabab. And I used to remember Quick Draw McGraw, and he had...
Starting point is 01:12:20 El Caban. Superhero, yeah, Elkabong and he had a guitar. He would hammer over people's head with a sidekick, Baba Louis or something like that. Anyway, I used to joke about that and play the cartoon as a lean-in when I would talk about El Shab. And I talked about it a lot. And that was during the first Trump administration.
Starting point is 01:12:39 He did nothing at all about that. And so now we have this situation where the ships have been rerouted to Somali territory. And they have been given some state-of-the-art weapons as well. The Houthis have supplied Somali pirate cells with advanced weaponry, military training, and precision GPS tracking devices so they can pinpoint commercial ships. Al Shabab, one of the most lethal terrorist groups in Africa, provides onshore logistical backing along with parts of the Somali coasts where the pirate gangs launched their operations. And these are the same people who are running these fraud operations in Minneapolis. So the ransom demands have been made for three commercial vessels, and they're pretty high.
Starting point is 01:13:27 They've taken over three ships just recently. One of them, the ransom is $10 million. Another one is $3 million. Third one is $1.5 million. And so this is another income stream for them, besides their Minnesota daycare frauds and welfare frauds that they're running and have been running for quite some time. They now have the hijacking that is happening with this as well. So when we look at this happening and we see what happened in Texas in terms of the Setting up you know welcoming our new visitors and here are your blution stations and we're gonna spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in the airport for this
Starting point is 01:14:06 We're headed down the same exact track folks as the British This is something I've had in the deck for a few days This is a guy in the UK and he just bought a a baseball bat. He either bought it or he was returning it. I forget what it was. But he's got the end of it in a bag and this aggressive U.K. cop. Who it turns out is not British.
Starting point is 01:14:31 He's Asian. So he's an Asian immigrant who becomes a UK cop. He sees him with a baseball bat and he immediately attacks him. And you'll hear the people, as this is happening, well, we don't have any sound on this. I guess I took it down because of language. But as this is happening, all these people are. you're filming it. You can find this from a lot of different camera angles as this guy is roughing him up and he's going, I'm not doing anything. And the crowd is saying, fight back, mate,
Starting point is 01:14:58 you know, fight back. But of course, you don't want to do that. So he's, you know, pushing him around and shoving him around and hanging on to him until he can get some reinforcements from the police. Simply because in the UK, you're not allowed to have a baseball bat. That's considered to be a weapon. It's considered to be a weapon, even if you're walking out of the sports store where you just purchased that. It's considered to be a weapon. This is the two-tier system that they have created in the UK. It's what they want to create here as well. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Yes, well, we have Israeli scientists are now going to make plants that produce milk protein.
Starting point is 01:16:28 How about that? Paving the way for a cow-free dairy. And, you know, they're still going down this canard of climate change, this mcuffin of climate change. They'll never give this thing up. And this is all happening, even as we've got the Amazon gigawatt ranch, the nickname they came up for it. Amazon has bought land and acquired permits in Pecos County, Texas for an AI data center, powered by a 7.65 gigawatt gas power plant. The plant will completely be separate from the Texas. power grid, the site known as gigawatt ranch got a state permit allowing the proposed power plant to
Starting point is 01:17:09 emit 33 million tons of carbon dioxide. There you go. Do they care about that? It was always a sham, folks. And as soon as the climate McGuffin got in the way of their police surveillance state, they just pitched it out. And so it would make it the biggest pollution site in the U.S. emitting more than the country's biggest coal power plant. How about that? But we can't have coal. And we can't have cars, internal combustion engines either, right? But Amazon can have its data center.
Starting point is 01:17:45 And so now Israel is coming up with, this is Hebrew University, scientists there, producing a milk protein so we don't have to have cows anymore. Yeah, exactly right. You know, when you look at the globalist and the scientists, It is to borrow the phrase of my guest on Friday, the name of his book was a Venn diagram of one. And I think that's really what we got with the globalist and the Zionist. It's just these two different groups and they completely overlap. And so here we are, less climate change.
Starting point is 01:18:19 It's still focused on this, even though they've got the massive data centers. And a compliant FDA, they expect, is going to give them the permission to do plant-produced produced GMO proteins in just five years. And they said, well, there'll still be cows out there for people who can afford it, right? But this will be the goy slop that they'll put in for everybody else. Instead of adding milk, they'll add this plant GMO milk, just like they started using high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar and other things like that. You look at how they've adulterated our food supply.
Starting point is 01:18:58 This is just the next step. more adulterated unnatural food GMO again in Israel the greed knows no boundaries and they don't really care what they produce and I would just say if you go back and look at Jurassic Park Michael Crichton warned us about this the famous thing well just because you can do it doesn't mean that you should do it in many cases you should not be doing that well when we talk about fake let's talk about fake money. First the penny, now the nickel. Didn't I say this when Donald Trump did his executive order to ban the penny? I said this whole argument about how much it cost is specious. You know, they said, oh, well, you know, it costs us like three cents to make a penny. It's like, well, I don't
Starting point is 01:19:46 really care how much it costs you to make that. It isn't like you use these things once and they're done. and that is, you know, do they ever worry about the cost of any missile or aircraft carrier or jet that they use, the fuel cost even? No, they don't care about that. It's only when they don't want something that they start talking about the cost of it. And so I said at the time because they put the figures out, they said, well, it costs like something like three cents to make a penny, but a nickel is even more expensive. So now they're saying, well, the nickel will be next. And what happens when they do this? Well, they're cutting away the currency bit by bit in order to force us into a digital currency.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Because the Trump family wants that. Because the globalists want that. It is a Venn diagram of one, isn't it? And so the digital currency that he wants, as I said before, the crony capitalist digital currency, the CCDC, or you can call it crony corruption. digital currency. And when we look at the penny and the nickel and these coins, if you're going to make that argument, make that argument for the paper currency. I mean, the paper currency and higher denominations like $20 and up, they do all kinds of counterfeiting things that make that
Starting point is 01:21:07 very expensive to produce. How much do you think it costs to do a $20 bill? And do the paper, does the paper money last as long as the coinage? We've got coins, of course, that have been used. for decades that are still in circulation. And so why are they sweating this? Especially when you go back and look at the fact that with fiat currency, the government just declares as much money as they want. Well, that's going to be the argument they're going to make to push us into the digital currency.
Starting point is 01:21:39 And so now what they've done, the Senate has passed what they call the Common Sense Act. This is not Thomas Payne's common sense. This is C-E-N-T-E-E. And what it will do, it was unanimous, by the way, in the Senate. It wasn't a single person in the Senate who sees where this is going. The Common Sense Act would codify the end of penny production, but it would also provide what businesses are demanding. They say, well, wait a minute, we have to be able to give people exact change.
Starting point is 01:22:10 So we need you to write a law saying that we don't have to give exact change, that we can round it up or down, depending on how this is set up. And so again, when you look at this, this is business now cheering this as well. This is how they operate. So now the businesses are in there saying, we need to make it legal for us to round up and round down. Retailers want to be able to round cash transactions to the nearest nickel when they're unable to provide exact change to a customer. Then what happens when they ban the nickel? Well, then the argument will be, look at how much it cost us to make a dime, right?
Starting point is 01:22:48 We just need to get rid of cash altogether. It'll be very easy once you've gotten rid of a few coins to start banning the production of paper money as well. Each penny costs us $3.69 cents to produce, said Trump, called it wasteful. The guy who has been responsible for adding about a quarter of our $40 trillion debt called the production of pennies wasteful. Just chew on that for a while. Yeah, the, it's a specious argument. Again, they're not used once. They're used for decades each time you create these things.
Starting point is 01:23:27 And so when he says the transaction totals for electronic credit card and debit card payments under this new act would still remain exact. Several groups of support businesses and retailers were in support of the bill. Again, Lenin got some things right, didn't he? He said capitalists will sell the road. rope the shoes to hang them. And of course, they'll sell the rope that is used to hang you as well. And that's exactly what they're doing. Very short-sided.
Starting point is 01:23:57 They'll provide retailers with a clear legal authority and protections to round cash transactions. The penny isn't the only coin, however, covered by the legislation. The nickel may be next on the chopping block. Each nickel cost 13.8 cents to make, meaning that the U.S. loses about eight cents for each nickel. that is not why we have a $40 trillion deficit, folks. Not even close.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Nichols are made of about 75% copper, 25% nickel. And that's one of the reasons why it's so expensive because the price of copper has skyrocketed, like so many other commodities. However, isn't it interesting that rather than debasing the currency, I mean, they could put some cheap slug metal in there
Starting point is 01:24:42 and coat it with something. But rather than do that, They've done that in the past, right? When you look at the silver and the dimes and things like that, they've debased the currency with worthless metal, but that's not enough for them. Now they've got to push us into a digital currency. The reality is that they're moving so quickly
Starting point is 01:25:03 that rather than debasing the coinage any further, they're just going to ban it entirely. So I suggest a new slogan to you. Benjamin Franklin said, a penny saved, it's penny earned. Maybe a penny saved. Saved is anonymity earned or anonymity saved. If they take away cash, that is a key move in terms of knowing everything that we do.
Starting point is 01:25:30 And with digital money, of course, from the very beginning, they're very clear about selling the features of this. Well, look, we don't have to print any money or anything so we can save all this money. But most importantly, we can track everything that they do and we can stop what they're going to do proactively. using anticipatory intelligence and we can put people on a black list and you won't be able to buy or sell anything. Mark of the beast time, isn't it? Exactly what that is.
Starting point is 01:25:55 And again, the beast is government. So you will carry the mark of the government. You will do exactly as they say or you will not be allowed to buy or sell. And we have the businesses that are walking right into this trap. So we have Wall Street Journal talking about. talking about from a piece of junk to a prize showpiece, the rise of the everyday classic car. And they're talking about a guy who showed up in a car show
Starting point is 01:26:25 and he parked it next to a classic Corvette. And I forget where the maker of the car was here. I think it's in here at the very beginning of the article. It's 1990 Chevy Lumina. I can't even remember what that looked like. And the Corvette owner looks at him and said, get that piece of junk out of here. And he said, well, you know, we restored these things.
Starting point is 01:26:44 they're not junk anymore. And they're not junk because they've been restored. Quite frankly, what Wall Street Journal misses completely about this is how valuable older cars are because they don't have all the surveillance and control stuff on them. They're simpler cars. I've talked about this endlessly with Eric Peters. But, of course, they're absolutely clueless about that.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with flock because Wall Street Journal was clueless about that as well. calling it the summer of Luddites. You're Luddite if you push back against this stuff. And one of the things that concerns me about this pushback against the surveillance state is that it is now being hijacked by the left. It's being abandoned by the right. And I say hijacked by the left.
Starting point is 01:27:34 They're giving this in with their climate activist. Willie Nelson is the poster child for this one. Democrat activist called him their Yoda. And these are people who are objecting to it on the basis of climate change stuff. Now look, it is pollution in many different ways. It is there are real issues with the water usage. The noise is trespass. The electricity usage is a big issue as well.
Starting point is 01:28:00 But just as you saw with a massive facility that Amazon is putting in, the biggest polluter in the country, it is going to be off the grid. So it's not going to affect their power prices. It'll affect them in a lot of other ways. But the key issue that the left is missing right now and not focused on at all is a police surveillance state. Meanwhile, the Republican politicians don't care about that at all. And many of the public don't see it either. They see the immediate problem of the noise and the water usage and electricity rates and all the rest of the stuff
Starting point is 01:28:33 and the industrialization of rural areas, taking them out of farmland, just as they have done with the other aspects of the Green McGuffin. first they started destroying farmland to put in solar farms and windmill farms and to put in massive battery electricity storage sites, best. So as they put these things in, they're destroying productive farmland and industrializing the rural areas. I guess it's almost like they want to force us into the cities, isn't it? Yeah, I think that's part of it.
Starting point is 01:29:07 I think that's deliberate. But at the same time, nobody is. looking at the really obvious issue, which is surveillance. And we're going to talk about that when we come back. We're going to take a quick break. I'm very concerned about the fact that you're seeing this bifurcation in terms of the opposition. We have the ideal bipartisan issue here to protect liberty and freedom, privacy, and dignity. And we're going to turn this into a partisan war. And that's what both sides are doing with this. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds.
Starting point is 01:31:40 It's the David Knight Show. Just a quick reminder that one of the supporters of this show, Homestead Life Products, has now moved their store to eBay. So if you just go to eBay and type in Homestead Life Products, you will be able to go to their excellent line of products. Love the stuff that they've got there. Some great natural products. Right now they've got on sale, their first aid kit, only $23, and it is something that you'll find useful for kids. camping, survival, and emergency preparedness. Again, that is Homestead Life Products.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Just go to eBay, type in Homestead Life Products, and you will find their excellent line of products there. But getting back to the data centers here, as I said before, we don't want to make this simply an issue of environmentalism, of the, you know, carbon footprints and nonsense like that, or even real pollution. And there is real pollution and real trespass with this. The big issue is surveillance.
Starting point is 01:32:39 And that is something that as these leftists are starting to take over the opposition, they're not even addressing that. As a matter of fact, when you look at this, I think the leftists are going to be just fine with the surveillance state. As a matter of fact, they're already cheering it in many different publications. They're saying, yeah, this is something that's going to be a great thing for us as well. Let me see if I can find that here. here we are right here.
Starting point is 01:33:05 This is an article written in defense of flock. And this is one of the leftist establishment publications said, public cameras can help us make the criminal justice system both faster and less punitive. If we let them. Yeah, right. If we let them. Well, you would think that the left would be concerned about the fact that it is something that they've had a lot of problems.
Starting point is 01:33:34 with in terms of civil liberties, they used to be all about civil liberties, but not anymore. As a matter of fact, you go back and you look at the term liberal. I think it's important to remember that, you know, a lot of times libertarians, there's a time when that really was not understood as to what it is. I guess maybe still that label is misapplied in many cases. But people thought libertarians meant liberals. But in reality, many libertarians have called themselves classical liberals. Throughout the 17 and 1800s, anybody who believed in freedom called themselves a liberal.
Starting point is 01:34:09 And we talked about a liberal education. It was about freeing yourself to think, freeing yourself to having the tools to learn. So you kind of freed yourself intellectually from the academics. And so now that is taken on a completely different term. How did that happen? Well, the only part of the 20th century, you had a lot of conservatives who had been for freedom all of a sudden jumped on the bandwagon of war. This theme goes back to World War I.
Starting point is 01:34:40 The left was concerned primarily with civil liberties at the time. And they were concerned about abuses from people like Jager Hoover and the Palmer raids that were happening. And so they were very much anti-war. Whereas many of the people who became conservatives, they were concerned only about economic freedom and not about civil liberties. And so you had that kind of bifurcation. Do I have to, and that was the way it was for much of the 20th century. As a matter of fact, we even had a T-shirt at one point in time that I sold back in the 80s,
Starting point is 01:35:11 and it had a donkey and a elephant. And they're pointing a gun at you. It was designed by my brother-in-law. And so you're looking down the barrel of a big gun that has pushed right up against your face. And one of them says your money, the other one says, or your rights. and so that was that was the way things were bifurcated then now of course the lines have been blurred about that and we eventually changed it to your money and your rights because they both want to take away your money and your liberty as well but now we have a situation where the left is
Starting point is 01:35:47 not looking at all at these surveillance issues are only looking at the encroachment issues the pollution issues the climate change issues the right meanwhile is just cheering the business aspect of this, just like conservatives in the early part of the 20th century, started conserving the, cheering the business aspect of war. And so I think it's a very dangerous position. I don't want the socialist and the communist to be on the right side of this issue, of the surveillance state. I don't want to have to choose between supporting the people who want to murder babies and
Starting point is 01:36:25 mutilate minors on the one hand and the people who want to have to have. a police surveillance in the other party. We shouldn't have to be limited to that choice. And this is the ideal thing for people to step up and support, and the conservatives are not doing it. I talked about that in the race here for governor in Tennessee. You can see very clear the two frontrunners, both of them were cheering the surveillance state and the data centers.
Starting point is 01:36:53 The Democrats were talking about banning these things. They're absolutely right on this issue. but they're wrong on these other issues that are also very vital as well. So this one person, a Democrat organizer, calls herself an advocate for data center reform. You see, that's the problem. They should not be reformed. They should be banned. They should be banned from the civil liberties aspect of it.
Starting point is 01:37:17 Again, if somebody wants to have a data center that is going to be storing information, it's not going to be used to collate information, it's not going to be used to move across to break down the silos of different information. They're not going to put everything into a great big pot and then be able to search everything that you did. If that's the case, I don't have a problem with a data center like that, except for these other issues that are there.
Starting point is 01:37:41 But that's not really the issue. And you can reform those other issues, and of course they're talking about ways that they can recycle the water or what other tradeoffs. It turns out that, of course, you can recycle the water. You can use other types of coolant. What that does is it goes up on the power requirements. That's why they went for so much water.
Starting point is 01:37:59 But when you look at the other data centers, this is a good example. Everybody just keeps their own data center. When we put everything on the cloud, you had PBS just lost 70 years of TV history. It was only 50 terabytes. Why would they even bother to put that on the cloud? I mean, you can get, you know, like 10 terabyte drives for what, 200 bucks? I haven't bought any for a while. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:28 Yeah. So. It might be a little bit more expensive now with the cost of everything going up, but you could get a 10 terabyte drive for not much over $200 at one point. So maybe for $1,000, they could have bought their own drives and managed it. And they could have even bought some extra ones and mirrored them or whatever. But they didn't do that. Instead, they put it online.
Starting point is 01:38:48 And then the company went out of business that was storing their stuff, and they lost 70 years of TV history. So there's that aspect of the data centers that is kind of insane as well. But people want to have the data centers. That's fine as long as there's not these other ancillary issues with it. But the real issue remains the surveillance thing. They can address the noise, the water usage, and even the electricity in terms of the grid effect on it. But what is not going to be addressed is the surveillance state aspect of it.
Starting point is 01:39:21 There's an organization out there now a coalition. to push for data centers, just like we've got grassroots coalitions that are pushing against them. They have organized now to push for them. And this is even outside of the Trump regime, which is pushing very hard for this, promising to give people massive amounts of money. Just do this. Just lock people down at COVID, build a data center. We'll give you all kinds of money.
Starting point is 01:39:45 That's the Trump administration. Data centers, they say, this is the Data Center Coalition. Data centers are the essential digital infrastructure behind every online purchase, telehealth appointment, online news article, and digital classroom, not just artificial intelligence. Well, I don't have a problem with those other things. Part of the problem is when he puts that qualifier in there as every online purchase, understand that as they move us into the digital currency, these data centers are going to be
Starting point is 01:40:19 a part of processing all of that as well. That's another reason why they're multiplying these things out everywhere. It's not just the connection to the flock cameras and the police surveillance state. But these data centers are also going to be used for the mark of the beast as well. You'll not buy or sell unless you use digital currency. And it'll flow through these things. That's how they have to have this massive computing power so they can process all that in real time. The Data Center Coalition will ensure the sustainable use of water energy and other natural resources for the development.
Starting point is 01:40:51 of this important 21st century industry, they say. Well, it is the tyranny industrial complex. That's really what we should start calling it. It's even got a great initial, if you call it that. You know, we talk about the military industrial complex. We abbreviate that as M-I-C. Well, what about the tyranny industrial complex? That'd be TICs.
Starting point is 01:41:13 Blood-sucking parasites. The Data Center Coalition cast the industry as an economic engine, saying, claiming that it has created 5.5 million jobs and $1.7 trillion in GDP nationally in 2024. This is a specious claim at best. When you look at jobs, what is the purpose of AI? They've told us over and over again that they're going to replace us, that they're going to take our jobs, even to the extent that Elon Musk back in the day when he first got involved
Starting point is 01:41:51 in politics, he gave a million dollars. to Andrew Yang because Andrew Yang was pushing universal basic income. And Elon Musk has pushed it that way as well. And all of these people, whether you're talking about Michael Bloomberg or all of them are saying, well, the smart ones of us are going to take your jobs. We just got to find a way to keep you from coming after us with guillotine. And we'll pacify you with money, the UBI stuff. And so it's not about creating jobs.
Starting point is 01:42:16 And it's not about adding GDP to the economy. what they're doing is they're looking at the initial buildout the construction. That's when they create the jobs, but it is a transient situation, just like the Iowa State representative that I talked to. She said, you look at what is happening. They come in with these small towns, and all of a sudden you've got thousands of people who come in. Where do they stay?
Starting point is 01:42:39 And what is the footprint for that? Well, the town starts to try to react to that, but it doesn't last very long. And if the town builds up some stuff, it's all going to be gone to. tomorrow, all these people are going to be gone to the next construction site. And so it is very disruptive for everybody. It raises the price of everything very quickly because they start to have to ration it. It's just like when you got, you know, 60,000 people coming into Suta from Morocco. You can't handle that in a community that had only had 80,000 people before.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Same thing with these rural areas. There's also the fact that these companies routinely are the ones that choose to hire H-1B visa workers. So if they hire you, it will be briefly to build it, then they will staff it with the cheapest H-1B visa workers they can find. And they don't need very many of them either. And as you pointed out, what happens to these massive blights on the landscape when a company goes out of business and stops doing it? We just saw that happen with a company that was a data center for PBS. They went out of business. So what happens when some of these other companies go out of business?
Starting point is 01:43:45 What happens when AI goes out of business? See, that's the other aspect of AI. the fact that it has created this massive internet bubble. All I'm hearing is there's a building full of graphics card just ripe for the rating. Yeah, these things don't last too long. I mean, they've got like a shelf, you know, they depreciate over like three years. What is a three-year-old GPU worth when they've got the new models that are out there? It's just like a computer.
Starting point is 01:44:11 We've seen all this for a very long time. So, yeah, pretending that they've got $1.7 trillion in GDP. As a matter of fact, you had a guy who, went through and did the math, and he said, they don't have enough capital to do only maybe about a fifth of what they're talking about doing. And when the spending stops, we've already had, Envidia, pulled back from some of the circular financing that they're doing. And of itself, that looks suspicious. They make loans to their customers to buy their products and so forth and book that as sales. All of this stuff is rigged. And when they stop these data centers or have
Starting point is 01:44:47 to pull back on some of their announced plans as they're already starting to do. That is the signal for the end of this AI bubble, largely. That's what many people think. And I agree with that analysis. I think that really is the case of what it's going to happen. But when you look at the insanity that is behind all this stuff, just from a business standpoint, but even if that wasn't there, it should be a non-starter in terms of how it's going to be used by the government. So it's one person, let's see, this is William Olson says, I've been supporting Democrats all my life. And so here we go, the GOP, who has picked to be on the side of the big technocrat corporations. They have now walked away from one of the biggest bipartisan issues.
Starting point is 01:45:35 And what is going to happen with this? You're going to have a lot of people going to support the Democrats over this. And on the back end of this, we're going to get all the socialist welfare state policies that they want to push through, all the abortion. and mutilation of minors that they want to push through. That's what happens as the GOP is now going to sell us into slavery. That's right, the sellouts. But what they have sold out is not their integrity. What they have sold out is you.
Starting point is 01:46:04 They have sold you out to these people. So the Democrat Party is catching up to the community concerns about data centers, they said. But that is not the issue. Again, it is a shame to see this, this, opportunity to actually stop the surveillance state if there was a bipartisan move against it. And now it's going to get shoved off into concerns about the environment and climate. And the Republicans are going to cheer it.
Starting point is 01:46:30 Here is an example, Wall Street Journal. The summer that America became a nation of Luddites. This is not about being anti-technology. It's about how is this technology going to be used? Where are the guardrails? You're going to run out here and load up the country. with a surveillance panoptagon, and you're not going to have any guardrails for this whatsoever. That's the concern.
Starting point is 01:46:56 So this is not progress. This is not prosperity, folks. This is not safety. As a matter of fact, when you look at Palantir, when people talk about Palantir, many times they will focus on some of the ancillary things that are there, but go back to what James Madison said. Where Palantir got it start, when I first started reporting on it about 12, 13, 14 years ago, I talked about the fact that they were consciously picked the Lord of the Rings
Starting point is 01:47:23 Palantir device, a crystal ball that was something that people would use for long distance communication, the kings would use it. Then it got to the point where it was taken over by the bad guys and they were able to look inside, not only monitor conversations, but look inside of people. That's the perfect analogy for what they're doing, for their claimed purposes of geospatial intelligence. They don't want to just listen to your conversation, right? They want to be able to do anticipatory intelligence. They want to know what you're going to do next. They want to know who their allies and who their enemies are. That is how it's being used. And that is why I thought it was a
Starting point is 01:48:02 conscious reference to the hijacking of the crystal balls and Lord of the Rings. And yet when you look at this, how did they sell themselves? They sold themselves as a military application. And what did James Madison tell us? He said the tools of defense abroad will always become instruments of tyranny at home. Think about that. Always. And that's what this is becoming as well. When you look at the movement of all these things together, Palantir is at the center of this. They're the ones who make sense out of all this raw information that is there from the flock cameras and the other things, and it is highly politicized in the extreme. So Wall Street Journal says, well, in many ways, these data centers and flock cameras are
Starting point is 01:48:53 physical manifestations of AI and incorporeal technology that is fueling both big dreams and new nightmares. Well, I disagree with that. I'd say they're not big dreams, they're big schemes. And they're not new nightmares. These are nightmares that have been recycled from every science. science fiction, book and film that we've ever seen. So, Free Thought Project talks about it, said,
Starting point is 01:49:19 here's five things to know about the AI data centers that are rolling out across rural U.S., more than 1,500 of them that are planned nationwide, and 80% of those are going into rural areas. So first of all, they'll use enormous amounts of water, but if you're going to oppose them on their water usage, just understand they will go to a recycling thing or they'll go to a different coolant or something like that. That's a technological problem that can be solved. That doesn't address the existential political issues that are really fundamental about this. And so they talk about how astronomical, the amounts of water that they're using are.
Starting point is 01:49:58 As I mentioned before, the Amazon Data Center is going to be the biggest polluting power source anywhere in the country. There's no coal power plant that even comes close to it. In Oklahoma, Google's Data Center will use the annual water use of 10,000 average American households. Remember the Iowa rep that I talked to, she said she had put in a bill. She saw this stuff coming. And she said, I put in a bill, the state, and passed out of their commerce committee unanimously. But then the GOP leadership stopped it.
Starting point is 01:50:34 And she said, all we wanted was to know, what are you going to be using? You know, what is your water usage? You know, what are you going to be doing here? There weren't any prohibitions in it. It's just tell us what you're going to do. They don't want to tell you what they're going to do. That's one of the key things, right? Somebody doesn't want to tell you what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:50:50 That's a big red flag. Everything about national security, to me, is a big red flag because it's all hidden. And so you're going to have people doing things that are criminal. You're going to be having black budgets that are there, money under the table. You can't control the criminal actions involved in that if everything's a secret. Oh, well, you've got to keep it a secret for national security. Yeah, right. Well, most of the water that is used for cooling is lost to evaporation. And they say, of course, you can do the closed-loop systems,
Starting point is 01:51:20 but they use a lot more electricity. And electricity is already one of the big issues that are there. And so they say, well, then there's the rezoning battles that are becoming very common. People have seen these areas lost to solar farms, windmill farms, and battery energy storage sites. Now, this is another one to push people off the land. That has been the case since it was Agenda 21. If you go back and look at Agenda 21, how the UN had mapped this out, they wanted to push everybody into a few megacities.
Starting point is 01:51:53 And then they got more specific about when they were going to do the 21st century agenda. They made it about 2030, and they started talking about the year 2030 around the year 2015. Well, AI is expanding faster than regulations. That's the real issue. It's totally unrelated. And Trump administration really is building a pre-crime penoptagon, unlike any authoritarian regime before it. It's kind of interesting to look as well at the people who are talking about this. And again, just like the pandemic lockdown, it all goes back to 9-11.
Starting point is 01:52:32 That false flag event was what kicked off the 21st century of the police surveillance state. Here's Mike Rogers. Let's see. Do we have that in here? I don't see that in here. Or did I get the wrong number here? Well, that's too bad. I wanted you to hear Mike Rogers because he's bragging about the surveillance state.
Starting point is 01:52:55 Are there anything that things that he's got there? And you know, and this, you got it? I think I can play that for you. Okay. Yeah. Go ahead and play it. I credit George Bush and his administration for assembling this new intelligence community. They pass the Patriot Bill.
Starting point is 01:53:10 It allows and takes the handcuffs off our intelligence services. Policymakers back here use words like illegal wiretap. The domestic surveillance program of the NSA. It could be abused. We're already seeing pressure on the Patriot Act that maybe we don't need it now. Couldn't be further from the truth. The bulk telephone metadata program is legal and effective. The provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expire at the end of this month.
Starting point is 01:53:33 We need to rapidly reauthorize these provisions, and we need to work toward making these tools permanent as a part of our arsenal. Self-restriction, big problem in the U.S. intelligence collection. We're the only intelligence service. They're too restrictive. ...is forced to go to a court. We always joked in the intelligence space. We would love to get one-tenth of what Google has on you.
Starting point is 01:53:52 I supported these programs when they were classified, and I support these programs today. Yeah. As a matter of fact, he made a lot of fact. the famous statement back in 2013. He said, well, it's not a violation of privacy. If you don't know, they're violating your privacy. We should be able to win against people this stupid. If he thinks that you're going to fall for that,
Starting point is 01:54:16 he really is underestimating your intelligence, isn't he? So it's not theft if you don't know that somebody's stealing from you, right? And it's not murder, I guess, if you can't find the killer, right? Nobody died. It's all fine. That's what it looks like in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood. Yeah, his neighborhood watch. We don't want Mr. Rogers' neighborhood at all.
Starting point is 01:54:40 The persistent, punitive, pervasiveness of such violations of privacy, writes the Free Thought Project, have been perpetually on the rise since the passage of the Patriot Act following the false flag attacks of September 11th, 2001. And, of course, they got that exactly right. That's when it all began. That's when they kicked off this whole thing. The FBI office in charge of maintaining the terrorist watch list is seeking an AI system for pre-crime policing.
Starting point is 01:55:08 I should say pollution. But this is not anything that's new either. Long before they really started talking about artificial intelligence, the intelligence community, their intelligence was anticipatory intelligence. So they not only had geospatial intelligence, but they were looking at anticipatory intelligence. This is something that has been planned for a very, very long time. The internet is a rope-a-dope, or you can call it a honeypot if you want. It was always designed that way. It was designed by DARPA psychologist JCR to Licklider in the 1960s.
Starting point is 01:55:42 It wasn't until the late 1990s that the switching circuitry made it practical. And at that point, you had the CIA created Incutel, their own venture capital firm. They did it out front and publicly. They've been funding these types of things. secretly for a long time, but they did that publicly. And then if you look at the venture capital firms that were funding all of these internet startup companies, they were peppered with all these intelligence officials. This was always in the plan. You go back to Zvignau Bersenski in the early 1970s, late 1960s, when he wrote his book between two ages, he said, the coming age, what he called
Starting point is 01:56:23 then the technocratic age, which we call the technocracy. The technocratic age, you said, we will know what you're going to do before you know what you're going to do because we're going to be looking at your behavior. And that's what anticipatory intelligence is. It's about pre-crime. And what are the crimes? Well, the crimes are going to be who you are politically affiliated with. For example, in the Trump administration, they define that as a domestic extremist is defined as anybody who has opposition to law and immigration. enforcement, who has views in favor of mass migration and open borders, or radical gender
Starting point is 01:57:04 ideology or anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, anti-Zionism, all those different things. That will all flip when the Democrats get in. And if you're on the side of this stuff because you like what this is going, just understand that it's all going to flip once the left gets in charge. Before we run out of time, we're almost done here. I want to thank some of the people who have given us tips. on Rumble, DG8, thank you, he said, David, our small church was visited by TPP USA, wanting our church to join.
Starting point is 01:57:35 They informed us, a lot of churches in our area are on board. The most woke churches in our areas are with them, including the Methodists, the United Methodists. Well, that's pretty amazing, isn't it? Yeah, you don't want to let these people hijack your church. Absolutely don't. Goyper 73, the art of the rugpole. That's right. That's what Trump has done.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Patriot Girl 1. I spoke to a lady yesterday and she didn't even know what flock is. DG8 says, David, the Trump administration is building a police surveillance state to hand over to the Democrats. That's right. Just like they did with Operation Warp Speed. For the right will not open their eyes.
Starting point is 01:58:15 I agree, absolutely. Sidney Falco said, Flak cameras will be like police body cameras. They'll turn them off when the law enforcement needs to get away with a crime. And, of course, the Israelis have created a, they've got a company a toka that has an app for that. They basically can hack into systems and they can change the cameras in real time, as well, of course, as the archive stuff.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Molly Brown Dog says, I think community concerns are definitely a part of it. Who among us would cheer a data center being built near our house? My heart breaks for people who have had this forced upon them. Yes, I agree. I think that is a part of it. Let's not make it the only thing that is there. I mean, we look at the people and I've played the clip of what it sounds
Starting point is 01:58:56 like 24-7. And it's just unbelievable. People have had their home for generations being driven out of it by this non-stop, loud, banging noise that's coming from generators. Before we end the program, I just wanted to show this to you. This is from Handy, and sorry about the graphic being cut in half there, but there is an app called Flock Hopper. Now, Handy is in Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:59:21 Atlanta is the hometown of Flock, is created by a few engineers. from Georgia Tech after they graduated. And look at the red dots. That's the, that is the, all the different cameras. And what it'll do is it'll route you, either the fastest way, which for this particular route that he got, was 16.8 miles. Or if you want privacy, you can go the roundabout way and go 32.9 miles. The problem is they've got 5,000 flock cameras in Atlanta, and it's done absolutely nothing
Starting point is 01:59:55 to help the crime situation there. Not at all. Every statistic from the FBI is either the same or worse because of the flock cameras. And, of course, the worst thing that we can do is to enable our government to become criminals. Well, that's all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for joining us.
Starting point is 02:00:14 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,
Starting point is 02:01:10 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.
