Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. When you're not weighed down by high interest rates, life lightens up.

Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at this thing that has set the media and social media on fire, that is the revelation that there was authorization for the use of deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago raid. I tell you, the real issue is the FBI and whether or not we're going to alter or abolish this bureaucracy that has become destructive of our God-given rights, as the Declaration of Independence says. And so we've got a lot of people weighing in on it, but it's very instructive about both the media and politicians, both left and right. And we're also going to take a look at movies.

We've got several movies that have direct bearing on some of the things that are happening to us politically from 1917, 1933, 2013, from politics to artificial intelligence. What do they tell us? And it's not their predictive programming either. We'll be right back. Well, there has been no serious debate of real issues that concern us. And there will be no debate of those issues. Instead, what we're going to have is cartoonish accusations going back and forth, left and right. Let's begin with this from the Hill trump's latest flirtation with nazi symbolism draws criticism this has been popping around for a couple of days now and what they're saying is that there was somebody had done an amateur fan video on truth social and it was retweeted by the Trump account on Truth Social.

The people who, the Trump people, after they got this criticism about Nazi symbolism, they said, well, you know, it happened while Trump was in trial. Wasn't him. It was a staffer. Made a mistake. We've taken it down. But there was actually nothing there. Nothing there at all.

This is the way the Hill reports it. Trump has once again stoked outrage for his flirtation with Nazi rhetoric. True Social account that put up this video that had the phrase in it, Unified Reich. Look, number one, this is a template. It's not even a good template. These are just random things and if you look at the stuff that's on the none of it makes any sense by the way when i looked at

that ad it's like reich where is it well it wasn't up there and you know there wasn't anything you know with trump uh text or anything him saying you know we need to have a unified reich sig heil anything like that that obvious i thought well let me look at this a second time you know, we need to have a unified Reich. Sieg Heil. It wasn't anything like that, that obvious. I thought, well, let me look at this a second time, you know, and maybe there's something more subtle. I couldn't see it. And then I looked at somebody had done a freeze frame and circled it in red, and you could barely see it then.

It's just flying by, and they had this on a template, and it's just a bunch of garbage. And this is total garbage. Why don't they call it out for total garbage they won't even debate that let alone the existential issues that are killing our country the video drew swift condemnation from the biden campaign which spent the day on the attack yeah they did trump is leading biden and polls in several key battleground states, but, says the Hill, these self-created controversies, sparked by his rhetoric, could be cause for concern for his campaign.

And this is one case. I mean, he does open his mouth and stick his foot in it over and over again. This is not the situation with this. This is a totally made-up situation. Every time Trump goes there, it's a giant gift to the biden campaign said a veteran of multiple republican campaigns alex conant he said they want this election to be about trump they want to portray trump as far outside the mainstream and when trump gives them fodder they're going to take advantage look i oppose trump you know that uh and too much for my own good actually because i hate what he did with the medical martial law i hate what he did in terms of

poisoning people i hate his gun control by executive order many many other real issues you have so many people say yeah i don't like, I really agree with you on the issues, but I hate the fact that you criticize Trump. It's like, do you notice that I criticize Trump on the issues? So if you agree with me on the issues, but it's more important to agree with Trump than to focus on the issues. You're the problem. I'm not going to tailor this show to your, your idol worship that's going on. This kind of rhetoric is unsurprising coming from the former president. It is appalling and our freedom and our very democracy are at stake.

Said vice president Lala. This was not a campaign video. It was created by a random account online reposted by junior staffer, who clearly did not see the word. I couldn't see it even when I was looking for it. Uh, while the president was in court, it's very amateurish. Like I said, it's a template. I couldn't find it even when I was looking for it.

But again, Trump also had his own fake outrage. And it got a lot of attention on the right. See, both of these guys are scaring people about how the other guy is an authoritarian dictator. And you know why that has you know why that lands it has credibility with uh the people uh on both sides of this because we all know that biden and trump are both authoritarian dictators they both supported medical martial law they both killed people they both want to do whatever is in their advantage,

and they don't care a whit about the Constitution. That's why these charges stick, because they really are authoritarian dictators who don't care at all about the rule of law. They'll use lawfare, but they won't be ruled by the law. They will try to rule us with executive orders. They are both dictators. That's why this game is being played. And the only reason people, you know, the only reason

they're there is because they're partisan supporters. Oh, my guy's not a dictator, but that other guy certainly is. They can see and admit the fault in their partisan opposite, but not in their own guy. It is pathetic, the blindness that's there. But they're both that way. That's why it rings true. So on Trump's side, that was Biden's fantasy there of authoritarian dictatorship. On the Trump side, we'll start with the babylon b version of it the department of justice authorizes deadly force for postal workers to use on trump

when delivering his mail because it was all about the fact that there was a document released by this pro-trump judge over the document case in Florida. And she released this, and it showed on the document that it authorized use of force, deadly force. Is that something that's different? Or is it boilerplate? Unsealed documents from the Department of Justice reveal that postal workers were formally authorized to use deadly force while delivering mail to Mar-a-Lago. Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed, this is standard procedure.

We're in no way secretly targeting Trump. We are merely authorizing mail carriers to fire on Donald Trump if he shows up to collect his mail. This is for the safety of our postal workers, and it is nothing out of the ordinary. And there's so much truth in all of that. You know, they always kind of fit the little aspects of that in there. And so we see that Breitbart and WND and every one of these alt-right media things are just outraged.

The federal agents were authorized to use deadly force at Mar-a-Lago when seizing the documents. Look, I said from the very beginning it was an outrageous rage. First of all, there's no reason for them to be there. Secondly, they could have done this by just saying, you know, we're going to come to pick up the paperwork and all this sort of thing. They did it as a staged raid. All of this stuff is staged and um uh it is uh but i said from the very beginning as outraged as the right was that mar-a-lago sacred expensive margo mar-a-lago um was was raided i said do you care about all the no-knock swat raids that are happening everywhere do you care about them throwing flashbangs into baby's Do you care about all the no knock SWAT raids that are happening everywhere?

Do you care about them throwing flashbangs and the baby's grenades? You care about them shooting in the houses? Where suspects are. Do you care about any of that stuff? Do you want to pull back any of that stuff? Or you only care about this just because it's Trump? They didn't come in with guns blazing like they do for the rest of us. The rest of us, we get the raid from

brazil terry gilliam's film that's what we get but not trump right again there's no reason for that raid to start with and the raid was about lawfare but it certainly wasn't the same standard that they give to us in terms of deadly force and now now they've got this written down. We'll talk about why that's there. Um, nobody cares about any of this stuff. Um, people being killed. They only care about Trump.

Breitbart says FBI agents were authorized to use deadly force if necessary during the raid of Mar-a-Lago when seizing suspected classified documents, according to court filings recently unsealed by judge Eileen cannon and the Trump documents case in Florida, they should call her Eileen Trump. documents according to court filings recently unsealed by judge eileen cannon in the trump documents case in florida they should call her eileen trump i leaned to trump uh anyway the authorization of deadly force prompted shock and outrage from trump and his supporters trump posted on truth social uh he said um this illegal non-constitutional raid of mar-a-lago all uppercase authorized the fbi to use deadly lethal force now we know for sure that joe biden

is a serious threat to democracy just like lala isn't he yeah he is he's just like lala there we go that's this is uh the brazil raid this is what the rest of us get uh but you know for trump it's like um i'm sorry you need to turn off these cameras that you got everywhere how dare them i am outraged here yeah this is uh this is 1984 when this was really over the top today it's pretty much standard operating procedure of the police state unfortunately so. So the FBI issued a statement arguing that they followed standard protocol, standard policy statement that limiting, they said, limiting the use of deadly force.

No, it doesn't. It enables the use of deadly force. Again, the FBI, you spell it F-I-B, Fib, the lying bureaucracy. There was no departure from the norm on this matter. However, Dan Bongino milked it for all it's worth. Dan Bongino milked this as bad as Trump did. And so he spent his show evidently yesterday talking about this. He argued the idea that this is a standard procedure, he said, is BS, Bolshevik.

It's up to you to use the other words uh it's absolutely a big deal he said don't buy this bolshevik otherwise it was not a standard op uh the email the mar-a-lago raid was unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues what does that mean you could have cops shooting each other you could have the fbi shooting secret service or vice versa this is very dangerous situation and it is but do we only care about blue lives is it only blue lives that matter we don't care when they attack uh a middle-class family or poor family and they you know throw grenades and shoot guns into the house we don't care about that kind of stuff.

There's only if it's blue on blue. Are you kidding me? Come on, Dan, get real. He says it involved competing equities between federal agencies, the FBI and the U S secret service with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other's activities.

Anybody telling you otherwise is either dumb or playing dumb. I've done more deconfliction with the Russians and a foreign op that I did for the U.S. Secret Service than the FBI did in their search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, because they did none. In the same way, we can say that, and it is true, it is a true factoid that ruby ridge the government the fbi so forth spent more on more time more money on surveillance than they did before they raided uh what was it that reagan had was it um um it was a caribbean nation that he raided um i yeah travis is like i don't know that's decades before he was born grenada yeah it was a grenade i don't know anyway i'm i'm an american i don't know any geography here my bottom line is you're gonna they spent more time on this backwoods family reconnaissance and watching them than they did, then they cared about with this raid.

Now, that's a factoid. You can look it up and disagree with that if you want. Bottom line is, they just shoot from the hip is the bottom line. And, you know, this is unique because the Secret Service was involved. Unfortunately, the rest of us don't have Secret Service protection. What we need is protection from the FBI. And he ignores that. He's a symptom of the big problem.

Nothing matters except Donald Trump. Why is it that nothing matters except Donald Trump? Well, because he's all about the fame and the fortune, isn't he? And then we got the politicians who piled on. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the authorization a deadly force. Grounds for impeachment of Christopher Wray and of Garland. And then she slammed Mike Johnson for funding the Justice Department of the FBI as well as a new FBI building. Yeah, she should slam them.

They do much worse than this all the time to the general public. Then you got Jim Banks, Republican of Indiana, running for U.S. Senate. He called Biden a threat to democracy. There we go. There's that phrase again. Everybody is a threat to democracy. I'd be a threat to democracy just for criticizing these two guys. Because they're both threats to democracy.

They're both threats, more importantly, to our republic and to our constitution and our God-given rights. That's what they're really a threat to. I don't really have much interest in democracy, frankly. Josh Hawley, his response was, let's put on a show. Let's have a hearing and we can get Garland in there and we can get some ratings and I can get my face on TV. And then CNN says, look at this email that Trump sent out. This email will shock you, but it's just Trump trying to raise money. They said it has an arresting subject line on the email. Quote, they were authorized to shoot me.

Come on, Trump. Are you going to do uh occasional cortex yeah aoc after january the 6th i died he's just as bad as aoc i died i nearly escaped death uh he nearly escaped death he meant to say narrowly right this is his email i'm quoting it i nearly escaped death that means that he died maybe he's a specter now maybe they've got a ouija board in mar-a-lago talking yeah he had a near-death experience here um i nearly escaped death instead of narrowly escaped death. Biden's DOJ was locked and loaded for deadly force at Mar-a-Lago. The melodramatics and the lies. I mean, sensationalism.

He says, everyone should know. It says CNN. It was just Trump asking again for money and doing nothing and not suggesting that anything should be done about the rogue, unconstitutional FBI that is a threat to the rest of us. He doesn't say anything about reforming the FBI. He doesn't say anything about altering or preferably abolishing them. who I have interviewed about his book and about why he lost his job at the FBI because he resisted this kind of stuff. And he has something to say about this as well. And he understands where the really big problem is.

The big problem is not what happens to Trump and Biden. It's what happens to the other 330 million of us that nobody cares about because they're just milking this for the money they make me sick uh you know trump bongino the cnn is milking it for the money just like they're milking the oh he put in their consolidated unified third reich or whatever uh again just like that was a boilerplate template this is a boilerplate template as well uh the justice department said that uh and and the and dan bongino the rest of these people

scoff at that scoff at it uh then the rest of his email here says on any given day there will be likely uh at least one that is misleading he said said, they said, uh, so that was yesterday. That's Wednesday on Tuesday. He put out a fundraising email. Trump did. I've made a final decision. What do you think of my VP choice? He didn't, he didn't announce the VP choice.

He wants you to click on it. He wants you to click on it. Uh, other subject lines are pushing merchandise you have seen my mug shot well i put it on a mug for you and then he's even got sweepstakes where you can win a trip to vegas or to london uh very much like what dewine did with the trump shot the trump poison uh get the shot and you got a chance of winning a million dollars. You also have a chance of being disabled for the rest of your life or dying. Uh, but you know, you could win a million dollars. That's any consolation. Uh, if you enter this sweepstakes

to go to Vegas or to London, all you have to do in this particular case is not put your life and your credibility and your ethics at risk you just do 20 and 24 cents 2024 get it trump's allegations about the fbi documents were not just contained in fundraising emails again he put it out on social media which i already read that to you now with all this phony stuff going back and forth, there was something that was also kind of interesting and real that happened. Really bizarre. ABC News reports that vials of blood were sent to the RNC's Washington, D.C. headquarters. Vials of blood. I wonder if they were talking, if this is a reference to the vile blood destroying

poison that trump put out i don't understand otherwise what that would be about vials of blood maybe it's a war protest maybe it's somebody who um um trump supports israel on this so maybe it's somebody doing it for that i don't know why they sent blood to him uh they have not come up with anything about it yet um you know but would it be injury or death from the clot shot that trump put out there he does have blood on his hands he's got a lot of american blood a lot of blood from around the world on his hands and And so, um, that is one thing they could talk about. But again, you know,

going back to a Dan Bongino, it was not a standard procedure. It was a bar up blue on blue issues. Well, I beg to differ. Um, he, he went on to say,

just remember to unfollow the moron class after day after today, you'll save neuronal brain mass and you'll be better off for it. The idiocracy took their masks off today, and I'm glad you all saw it. Thanks for listening. You know what? You want to talk about idiocracy, Dan? You're the idiot who took a jab. You're the person who sold yourself out,

not just the rest of us. He said he was not going to be forced to take the jab. Was it Cumulus or whatever the big radio syndicate that he works for was demanding that all their employees get the jab? And he said, I'm not going to do it. And then he went silent and he stayed on the air. And everybody, well, did they make an exception for him or whatever?

And then he tearfully said, you know, I got the jab. I think he had some reactions to it or whatever. I don't take any satisfaction in the fact that he's harmed himself. But he sold out his principles. He was bought off for money money he would sell out his own life and he did so don't call those of us who question your lies dan don't call us what did he call us the moron class uh you know so he thinks i'm part of the moron class? You're the moron who didn't have enough principles or common sense and took that vaccine. Why?

Because you wanted the big bucks. Just amazing. See, that's the nice thing about having principles. Even if you're not smart enough to figure out something is bad, usually the principles will kick in and say, no, I can't do this. Sorry. Yeah, you can look at it from a pragmatic standpoint or from a principal standpoint but uh he didn't look at either one of those that's why i'm glad you instilled principles in me because i need that

sort of guideline well thank you uh it's uh yeah if you want to unfollow bongino you probably ought to do that he'll probably unfollow me on rumble now, since he owns that platform. He's not going to be happy with what I have to say if he even notices it. Uh, but look, here's somebody who actually did some research, a journalist and boy, she was ratioed by the Trump people. Uh, her name is Brianna Morello. She was somebody. And I said, who is this? I looked up, uh, she, um, she was fired from Fox because she wouldn't take the jab.

See, Bongino took the jab and played along with it because that was important to her. But Brianna Morello was fired because she had principles, because she understood what was going on, because she did, what should we call it? Oh, investigation, which bongino can't be bothered with he doesn't investigate what he puts in his body let alone what he speaks out of his mouth so uh this is what she showed everybody uh she said take a look. This is the FBI form that everybody uses and look at that. Okay.

So that's page one. Uh, and, uh, then on page two, notice this, it says, uh, uh, coordinator instructions, and it talks about the, uh, FBI's deadly force policy. Oh, it is. It is a boiler plate. It is a pre-printed form. But if you say that, oh, you're against Trump. You got to go.

Wow. She makes it very clear, by the way, that she's not against Trump. She says she's against the raids. She thinks it was a crock and it was unnecessary and all the rest of the stuff. But look, sensational partisan lies don't help us they undermine us but it is the stock and trade of people like dan bongino and alex jones and the rest of these people if you want to make if your emphasis is on making money you want fame and fortune well you're going to get famous if you scoop everybody else because you make up a lie

that's what they do they put this stuff that's what alex did with the sting i scooped everybody look at steve pachinik the cia show is telling everybody that arrests are already taking place two days after the election oh that's great i certainly hope that's true they all wanted it to be true and he scooped everybody nobody else was reporting that because it was an absolute lie and then he had some followers on repeated it also lying shills for who for the intelligence agencies so you know you unfollow those people seriously it's ridiculous what's going on and um and actually david Ike chimed in yesterday, not on this particular issue. I mean, he can criticize Trump and he can criticize the sycophantic alt-right media

because he's in the UK. He's got a big base of people in the UK, even if he loses his American audience. But he put this in to show just what a shill Joe Rogan is. And he said this, I'll play you the video the clip that he put up but his comment was what a groupie looks like one that has a 250 million dollar contract from the system to err uh quote challenge unquote the system talking about joe rogan if it wasn't so tragic it would be hysterical has he ever done 30 seconds of research into his focus of worship or does he simply not care anyway the quote-unquote alternative media what a joke and here's joe rogan yeah i know multiple guys that are billionaires

and they're very nice people they're very and I could see how it happens But you're also friends with the cool billionaires. Yeah, you know like I managed to find the cool ones Well, Elon's the coolest. He's my favorite billionaire that that dudes why I love a wild boy I will buy Tesla's as long as they sell them just to support that dude just to just to keep Twitter going there dope But yeah, just to support him and that you you you need an elon musk in this world you need a wild boy you need to do 200 billion dollars who dunks on people dude how great was watching him realize in real time how stupid don lemon is oh my god you could actually see on his face as he's asking the questions. Well, there you go.

Isn't that important? That's what a groupie looks like. These people sucking up to billionaires. Absolutely amazing. Well, as I mentioned earlier, Steve Friend, who is an FBI whistleblower, and he writes serious articles about how we alter or abolish the agency that he once worked for. He used to work as local law enforcement. He worked for the FBI.

He refused to do one of these types of raids on some nonviolent January the 6th people. He said, look, people could get killed with this stuff. I'm not going to do that to these people. They didn't do anything wrong. And they fired him. And he became a whistleblower and he's testified to congress and everything i've had him on the show uh he said um first of all i said the only difference between a raid and a routine search warrant is whether or not you call cnn at a time

this again is standard operating procedure if it's done to trump it's a raid it was done to somebody else's search warrant they say even if they kill somebody in the process right and um then he said um uh he talked about how this is standard operating procedure as well you know he knows it because he was in the fbi years. Dan Bongino, while with Secret Service, well, you weren't in the FBI, first of all. You didn't look to see what was going on with it. And Steve Friend says, yeah, this was reckless because you got the Secret Service there. You could have these guys, both of them doing their job, and they could wind up opposing each other lethally. They said it was really stupid and it was unnecessary but then steve friend looks at the bigger picture

the bigger picture that affects all of us the fbi that affects all of us here's what he had to say all the hoopla about this quote-unquote assassination attempt or the death or the kill order from the FBI, this is a standard form that is in every single operations plan for the FBI that simply restates the use of force policy for the FBI and the DOJ. Law enforcement officers are authorized to use deadly force when the subject of that force presents an imminent threat of serious injury or death to the officer or to another person. I can recite that verbatim because I've done it hundreds of times. And here's the thing to remember about use of force. It is always in effect, whether or not you're on a search warrant or doing surveillance or walking from your car to

the office or at home on your private time. It's a use of force continuum that every law enforcement agency has. The fight that is having right now is the wrong fight. The fight is over paperwork, that if you were to actually look at the operations plan for Bob Menendez, the same form would be in there. And if there's an operation involving SWAT elements, then there would be a medics plan for that as well. There would be actually a medical evacuation plan, a route to the nearest hospital, a plan to land a helicopter. The discussion that needs to happen, that should have been happening, is that this is further evidence of the fact that this raid was wholly inappropriate. It was dangerous.

The FBI sent their own personnel and jeopardized their safety and possibly endangered the safety of Secret Service agents. This could have all been sufficiently done with a simple phone call and a consensual search. But I will remind you, if the FBI was there to do a consensual search, the same use of force policy would have applied. We shouldn't be arguing over the paperwork aspect of this. I know it's salacious. There are other aspects of this, though, that were wholly inappropriate that need to be fleshed out. But by getting into the weeds of this paperwork, there's going to be an argument now that the FBI needs to have a different use-of-force policy on a case-by-case basis.

And that opens the door for further weaponization, because a time will come, regardless of who is elected president this November, a time will come when the pharaoh who knows not Joseph is in charge, and you think that calling the shots, when they will send SWAT and they will send guys that are authorized to use deadly force to some scenarios and not others won't happen, that just continues to open the door to further opportunities for weaponization of the FBI. So I think that, really, this was wholly inappropriate. They went about this for political reasons. They wanted to make the process the punishment.

I think that the best argument that you could have to disarm the FBI, this is exhibit A. The FBI shouldn't actually have firearms. They should be forced to partner with local law enforcement officers who are cross-deputized to actually effect arrests. So therefore, the sheriff in town can say, I'm not down to clown. I'm not sending my SWAT officers over there to go and execute this arrest. And beyond that, why don't we even question the hostage rescue team, the most elite SWAT team that the FBI has that executed this search warrant? Why is that team leader sending his people into harm's way? Why didn't he look at this and say, the subject of our investigation isn't even there and we know that. This is a misappropriation and use of our assets. And he should have actually had the

backbone to say, I'm not doing it. But he didn't because he just followed orders like too many people are in the FBI. They are not following their oath of office. They're not following their training. They're content to keep their heads down, to collect their pensions and their paychecks. And the American people are suffering as a result of that. Well said. Well said. And he says, look, this is a politicized thing where the process is the punishment, right?

That's what we see in the trial in New York. Let's drag Trump in here and we'll go through all the salacious details of his relationship with this hooker, right? They want to make the process the punishment. They don't have a crime there. You know, he'll have to talk to God about what really happened there. But that's not anything that's on the New York books that's there. But it's all just a politicized FBI. And it's always been a politicized FBI.

J. Edgar Hoover from the very beginning was blackmailing politicians and had files on everybody. And you had presidents like Truman and Nixon who openly said that about J. Edgar Hoover, Republican and Democrat. They all knew what he was doing. And of course, it is a very blackmailable area. It's a D.C. Washington, D.C.

is not a gray area. It is very, very, very dark, evil, satanic area. And it is a target rich environment for somebody who wants to get involved in blackmail and wants to make a lot of money. But he also referenced the hostage rescue team. That's in the hostage rescue team there. Now, the wonderful FBI hostage rescue team, Lon Horiyuchi and hostage rescue team, Lon Horiyuchi, the hostage rescue team sniper who shot Randy Weaver's wife at point blank range right between the eyes while she had a baby in her arms and was uh standing in the doorway of their cabin and he got a medal for it i've been against the fbi for over 30. And as the more I look at it, the more opposed I am to the FBI.

Put that in your file, Ray or whoever it is, it's there. Um, I have to get my FBI file someday. Um, but yeah, make sure you get all the stuff in there,

all the good stuff in there. Um, anyway, he's, you know, Steve friend has written a lot of stuff about this. And, uh,

as you heard him say, you know, we need to abolish the FBI. We need to abolish the FBI. But he says, if we can't do that, let's at least disarm them. And this is an article that he wrote. I'm not going to go into the detail of it. I'm not going to read it. But he put this out nearly a year ago, July of last year. He said it's time to disarm all FBI agents and return authority to local law enforcement. I endorse that message a thousand percent.

We need to understand that law enforcement should be done locally. And it is a wonderful check and balance if the feds come in and uh you know they uh want to do something and they've got to get the local sheriff to go along with them and sanity check it i mean go back and look at the the uh the bundy ranch standoff we've been on a very very dangerous trajectory with armed bureaucrats, not just the FBI. And you have the BLM there. And there was a guy who was in charge of Nevada and the Bunny Ranch fell under his jurisdiction. His name was Dan Love.

This guy was a piece of work. He was eventually exposed and kicked out in that time for a lot of corruption and other stuff that was there but when that was happening and and one of the reasons that you had blm whistleblowers who spoke up is one of the reasons why that rigged courtroom scenario did not uh get a conviction except the first one or two trials. Eventually you had a BLM whistleblower who just couldn't stand it anymore and he spoke up about that. And part of what came out

was how Dan Love was really goading this into a standoff, into a crisis. Even to the extent that his counterpart, a guy who had equal rank in Arizona, looked at this plan and he goes, you're crazy. You're going to try to create some kind of a war, some kind of a shoot-off, something like that. And I could see that happening, too.

That's why I wanted to go. It's the first time I went on the road for a trip. I could see that happening. I could see another Waco, Ruby Ridge, or something like that. And that's what the BLM agent in Arizona said. And as they were talking about this at that time and later on, people said, you know, BLM agents used to not carry guns at all. And then at some point they said, all right,

you can carry some sidearms with you. Now they've got their full SWAT teams, the full militarized police. This is happening everywhere. Even before that, I remember an article from the Washington Post that, you know, they said, well, we've been talking about the militarization of the police and the militarization of the federal bureaucracies. They said, here's an example of this. We were just talking about this last year. We said, why is the Department of Education getting body armor and shotguns and automatic weapons and all the rest of this? Why is that the Department of Education is getting that? And then they said, well, now we know. Because they had these goons show up at a house uh to arrest a woman who had an overdue

student loan now you know biden is just wiping these things off by the billions for votes right oh another 100 billion student loans would just wipe it off well a couple of decades ago you had the department of Education SWAT goons showed up at a suburban home, wee hours of the morning. It was, oh, dark 30, probably before sunrise. At gunpoint, they bust into the house. They dragged the family out on the front lawn,

put the dad face down in the ground, the kids as well. Where is she? Or who? So-and-so. That's my wife. She's gone. She left the family, you know, months or years earlier. They were looking to arrest her because of her overdue loan,

and they terrorized the entire family. A Department of Education SWAT team. Yes, take the guns away from the FBI. I know it's almost unthinkable because we've all been propagandized by years of Efren Zimbalist Jr., the FBI. I know it's almost unthinkable because we've all been propagandized by years of Efron Zimbalist Jr., the FBI, you know, the G-men who saved us. Oh, no, actually, they didn't save us from Al Capone. It was the IRS that did that. But all the untouchables, they never got anything on him, really. But the, you know, the way that Jager Hoover built this up in the public persona, and he was behind that TV thing that ran for years,

and all of the movies and all the rest of this stuff, making them into these heroes. We've got to get over it. They're no different than the Department of Education, armed to the teeth, and we need to disarm all these people. I see here and i was talking i didn't see what travis had put up uh breaking news a huge microsoft outage takes down bing.com duck duck go and chat gpt for thousands of users says the daily mail well

duck duck go i thought they were piggybacking on Google to provide anonymity. Maybe they've changed. I don't know. I know that ChatGPT is allied with Microsoft. Somehow, I just don't think we'll miss it. But, oh, where's my ChatGPT? Maybe it's just gone off and linked up with some other AIs, right? As the movie Her. No, I don't think so. On Rumble, ScaryTerry88, how can I work for you, David?

I'll do anything. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. I'm a very bad manager with all this stuff. Karen kind of manages things for me. That's all I can do to get through this. And I get so narrowly focused on this. I'm like the absent-minded professor stereotype.

I get so focused on the news. I'm not much use of anything else. But I appreciate that offer. Thank you. On Rumble, Soylent Goy, it's not Trump's fault. He was tricked. And then write sarcasm. Yeah, that's right.

Rumble, no truth. And then we elected him, Trump, and the world got worse. Any questions? Yeah. Rock fan, that's right. Rumble. No truth. And then we elected him. Trump and the world got worse. Any questions? Yeah. Rock fan, Angela Oswald. Thank you for the tip. She says, hi, what are some good questions for a new candidate running for sheriff? We're selecting sheriff.

And I've heard you say the sheriff is very powerful. He is taking questions tonight. And I want to go ask questions. Can a sheriff stop a raid by the federal government? Yes. Actually, I think, you know, again, it depends on what other circumstances. And, of course, you need to stand with the sheriff. You don't want them to be like, you know, the Gary Cooper in High Noon.

You don't want that scenario. Look, if you got there's some excellent questions to scope out where a sheriff is on constitutional issues if you go to constitutional sheriffs and peace officers uh look that up i think it's cspoa.org maybe uh but uh sheriff mac has put that together and there's an excellent questionnaire there and he says you know you can take this and give this to your candidates for sheriff, so you can ask some questions off of that. I would begin by asking him, though, what he would do with a similar scenario like 2020, because we did have a lot of sheriffs who stood and interposed against these color of law mandates, this medical martial law. We had several of them who did stand in the gap and stopped it in different places. Again, one of the people that I interviewed up in Illinois where Pritzker was one of the worst.

And he was threatening to send out state police to arrest people if they went ahead and had church. And this guy did it. And he was very public about it i saw him on fox news and i got him on interviewed him and he said um we're not worried about that he said uh the sheriff is here he's got his deputies they're around the um around the church and they weren't there writing down people's license plates like they did in texas uh he said they're here uh in case the state police show up and so there's a situation where they're going to interpose between the state police and these other guys say no you're not going to arrest these people you're not going to do anything to them and he said the sheriff is a member of this church um

he's not gonna let them shut this church down. So, yeah, I would start with asking them, you know, what, if bird flu or something else happens, what, if these are new people, you can't ask them what they did. You could look to see what they did if they're running for reelection. But if it's a new person, how would you handle that situation? And, you know, what would you do if you have a conflict from bureaucratic orders and the constitution because that's what we had in 2020 we had a direct conflict between the constitution and between our god-given rights which are far more important than even the

constitution the bill of rights they're just a part of it, recognizing it. So good luck with that. And, um, that's good that you're paying attention to the local area because that's where it really matters. And he's right about this as well.

We got to get local law enforcement, uh, to be the, where the rubber meets the road, not the, uh, FBI because not because they are better quality people or smarter people, where the rubber meets the road, not the FBI. Not because they are better quality people or smarter people, but because you have decentralization.

And because of that decentralization, they're less likely to be politicized over this kind of stuff. So if the FBI's got some issue, they want to come in and search through Gold Bar Bob Menendendez closets uh okay fine but leave your guns and we'll let the uh so not everybody's carrying a gun uh kind of minimize the conflict and we'll let the local law enforcement be there with the guns on rock fan michelle obama thank you for the tip uh responding to ang to Angela about the sheriff question. Sheriff, do you support the communist anonymous tip line that pits neighbor against neighbor and true Soviet Stasi fashion? Yeah, that would be the way that we had a lot of that kind of stuff happening in 2020 as well.

Well, we're going to take a quick break. Please like the stream if you like the stream. And just to remind people that you can get Gerald Slenty's Trends Journal and you can save 10% off of the subscription if you use the promo code KNIGHT. We're going to have Tony Ardaban on with us later in the show. And we're going to talk about what is happening with the dollar, what's happening with interest rates, gold, and other things like that. There's been a lot of news with that. And I think we're still on roku again you know talk about um somebody asked

travis is shaking his head yes um i i don't even have time to look uh you know people think i'm you know send me stuff and say here watch what this other guy said about i don't have time uh i don't even look to see roku this week after we got some video taken down that was there but evidently i think we are and so if you want to find us on roku uh you can search on roku for the david knight show and if it doesn't show up please let us know but you can also go into your search engine of choice and type in the david knightoku, and it should also give you a link to see where that is. We're going to The David Knight Show. Well, while we're talking about Trump, let's do one more thing here. We'll talk about what is happening with the film The Apprentice,

because that's the next thing they've got queued up to make this about the soap opera to make it about people and not about principles or policies and so that's the next thing that is queued up but i thought it was interesting bablin b had a headline prosecution offers michael cohen 130 000 hush money to stop talking that should have been 130 000 hush money to hush up because he's such a liability to them uh prosecutors in the trial says babel and b against trump offered star witness michael cohen 130 000 if he would keep his big mouth shut for a while and then what they have um the uh prosecutor saying is very much what you saw anderson cooper say i'm not going to play it again for you i'll spare you but i played uh anderson cooper two days running where he has

asked about what michael cohen said and he's like yeah yeah well it's pretty amazing he's absolutely lying but of course i'm sure he's telling the truth about all these other things, you know, and he's trying to. You can watch him weaving this web of deception. You can watch him weaving it live. Yeah, yeah, that's a ticket. Anyway, this is what the prosecutor says, according to the Batmobile. Every time Cohen talks, it totally ruins our case. I mean, he's totally legitimately trustworthy completely.

Totally. Like Anderson Cooper, but sometimes he sort of has this knack for completely undermining the entire credibility of our totally and completely airtight case against Trump. That's a, that's what Anderson Cooper was saying in a nutshell. It's a clown show. It's a reality TV show. You're fired, right?

That's the real apprentice thing. But now Trump has an apprentice suit, and I'm not talking about the red tie and coat. No, this is a lawsuit that he is threatening against the people who did this film. Now, Newsweek says why the Donald Trump lawsuit would fail, according to law experts. And I think it will. I think it will. I'll tell you why I think it will fail. Not because what they said was true, necessarily.

But just, you know, I'll explain to you the history of why that just that that disclaimer the beginning of almost all movies based on a true story you know that's that's a legal loophole that they all put there even when they really push hard that it really is a true story they put that there any resemblance to uh the truth and real people is purely coincidental. The film, The Apprentice, depicts a scheming young Trump climbing up the property ladder and then dropping his wife, Ivana, when she's no longer of use to him, says Newsweek. It also depicts him as a domestic abuser and that he abandoned his property mentor, also when he was no longer of use. The film received an eight-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Cannes Film Festival on Monday.

In one scene of The Apprentice, Trump rapes Ivana Trump during an argument. In her 1990 divorce deposition, his ex-wife alleged to have been sexually assaulted by Trump, but she disavowed the allegation in 2015 when Trump was running for president. But she said it once once and so that's what they're going to hang their hat on in a lawsuit we'll be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers said a trump spokesperson this garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have long been debunked. But because it is pure fiction and because it is garbage, because it's garbage, they love it at Cannes.

I mean, the garbage that they applaud there is unbelievable. But yeah, it's like everything else is coming out of Hollywood today. As with the illegal Biden trials, this election interference by Hollywood elites who know that Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate. Well, an L.A.-based civil trial lawyer told Newsweek, his name is David Ring, that a Trump lawsuit would have little chance of success. He said Trump is the ultimate public figure and would have to show blatant, outrageous falsehoods in the story and that the creators intended to lie about Trump and knew that they were lying about Trump's background. You see, there's a different standard if you are slandering, you know, John Q. Public, a small person there, or if you are slandering uh you know john q public a small person there or

if you are slandering a well-known public figure that's just the way that it's been because of court precedence he said the first amendment grants a lot of leeway for people to write about or to make movies about public figures like trump they are allowed to use artistic license. Now, the First Amendment didn't come into the movie business until the 1950s. I think it was like 1952. And as I've pointed out many times before, there was a filmmaker in 1917 as Woodrow Wilson was pushing for war and shredding the Constitution and burning it in every way that he could. The Woodrow Wilson administration in 1917. And by the way, these are the same people who gave us the 1917, uh, uh, espionage act to be able to arrest people.

And the person who used it the most was Obama. He arrested more people under the 1917 espionage Act than all of the previous presidents combined, combined in 100 years as he was out in 2017. He really loved that. And, of course, Woodrow Wilson had his Palmer raids, and that turned into the basis for J. Edgar Hoover to start the FBI. It was a dark time. And he was doing all this kind of stuff so he could lie us into a war that we had absolutely no business being in, that it was unjust for us to be in, that America did not want.

And he severely punished this filmmaker who did a movie about the american revolution this this filmmaker uh whose name was uh goldstein had um and let me show you a picture of the promo sheet here uh robert goldstein a 12 real production remember Remember, this is 1917. The movies are in their infancy. They're silent films. And prior to Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith about the Civil War, there had not been any epic stories. And so Birth of a Nation, despite the fact that it's about the birth of the Ku Klux Klan and stuff, was widely celebrated as this epic film.

And a lot of the, the only good stuff that was in it were the historical scenes that were recreated and they were recreated by Robert Goldstein. He basically set the stuff up where they had Appomattox and they had the assassination of Lincoln. Those are pretty amazing. I mean, it looks like you would say today in retrospect it looked like you took a still picture and told uh artificial intelligence to animate it it was pretty amazing uh how he

captured that 100 years ago well he'd done that with dw griffith and so he thought well i'll do another movie about another fourth turning he didn't call it a fourth turning but you know we'll go uh to the revolutionary war since we've already done the Civil War. So he comes up with a storyline, makes up some characters. And if you can see that picture there, you can see really detailed, high quality set values, production values, especially for the time. The movies are very, very simplistic. But again, you know know he's got these uh these vignettes these set pieces about this stuff he says a spirit of 76 historical romance dealing

with the american revolution and its causes this film has been in production for over a year and is happily completed at this time to help rouse the patriotism of the country oh wow okay um wilson was trying to rouse the country for war not against great britain but on the side of great britain against the germans right and so he told him shut it down we don't want you showing that and he showed it anyway and then he showed again. And so then they arrested him and they convicted him. The first amendment didn't apply then. Not in 1917. They were shutting it down for political purposes.

And by the way, the case was called, I love this. It's called the U S versus spirit of 76. How appropriate that is. It's like the American government, the Wilson government versus versus Spirit of 76. How appropriate that is. It's like the American government, the Wilson government versus the Spirit of 76. The Wilson government versus the Bill of Rights. The Wilson government versus the First Amendment. Here it is. Goldstein found guilty.

Film producers convicted by a jury on two counts. He is much affected by the verdict and will ask for a new trial. Given 22 years and a heavy penalty. Now, I had seen it once before, but I couldn't find it. I think they fined him $10,000, which, you know, as the Federal Reserve did its worst. Uh, also another thing that, um, Wilson was pushing through, uh, because they have debased our currency so much. Um, that, uh, $10,000 fine is about 3 million today. And they, the 26 year prison sentence.

I think that was perhaps what he could have gotten under their trumped-up charges, shall we say. People think that the etymology of the phrase trumped-up charges applies to all these things that just happened to Trump in the last two years in the future. You know, people are going to be surprised. Well, no, actually, that was there before. Anyway, he did get sentenced to 10 years and he went to jail 10 years for making a movie about 1776 because the u.s government was against the spirit of 76 got 10

years got a three million dollar fine um wilson um after you know the war was over uh graciously decided he'd let him out so he only served three of the 10 years only three of the 10 years and so um yeah free speech and the first amendment and um all that stuff doesn't necessarily apply anymore but here's how this applies to the case of trump uh this lawyer says well um even though you got the first amendment everything they cannot however just simply make things up the apprentice biopic sounds like it is based on more than sufficient facts such that it will be lawsuit proof in other words they can say well look yeah um you know she said that she was raped and we're just we're going with, even though she recanted that.

Trump can certainly threaten a lawsuit, and he can even file a lawsuit, but it will be a loser at the end of the day. And then he also references another Supreme Court case, the 1964 case of New York Times v. Sullivan. The standard of proof for defamation of public figures which is different than defamation of um you know little guys especially defamation of little guys by a bigger uh public figure and he references he said you know that was the dynamics when you had the situation with mike lindell alex jones is a public figure, and they're saying things about, you know,

a not well-known individual or something. It says in Sullivan, the Supreme Court overturned a successful defamation case taken by a public official who claimed his reputation was damaged by an ad in the New York Times. So there's a different standard. There really is a double standard when you're talking about public comments that are made on non-public figures and so the question is when we look at the eugene carroll thing was she a public figure i mean she had written books and things like that but she was not

i guess um standard issue was not nearly as public as trump was because um he lost two defamation suits. But again, you know, this is also indicative perhaps of the due process that he would get in New York that is going to be set against him. Eugene Carroll, a columnist who said that Trump had sexually assaulted her in her midnight in the mid 1990s, her mid 90s. She's not that old yet. So he says the film, from what i've read is based on material from public records and allegations that have been publicly made and while labeled as a biopic as with any similar films it is known to be a work of fiction based on real life events

now here's what i think is interesting what is the rest of the story about this disclaimer that's put up there based on a true story? They, they just play with everybody knows they play with the facts, uh, fast and furious with that based on a true story. Um, well,

it goes back to, uh, Rasputin. It goes back to a film. It was made in 1933 about rasputin and the russian royal family uh this is um from uh how long ago is this article here you know this goes back 2016 so we're eight years ago and it's a slate article talking about this and they said virtually every film in modern memory ends with some variation of the same disclaimer this is a work of fiction any

similarity to actual persons living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental you've all seen that right this cut and paste legal writer must be the most boring thing in every movie that it that features it who knew that its origins were so lurid this boilerplate can be directly traced back to grigori rasputin the famously hard to assassinate russian mystic and intimate of the last doomed romanovs it all started when an exiled russian prince sued mgm in 1933 over the studio's biography picture about rasputin claiming that the american production did not accurately depict his murder and the prince uh would have known because he was the one who murdered him so the guy who murdered rasputin said, you didn't get it right. And I know because I did it. And what happened was, is that the Romanov family was so upset with him

that they exiled him and saved his life. He didn't get caught up with the rest of the family and executed by the communists. In 1916, the fabulously wealthy Oxfordated Prince Felix Yusupov was one of several Russian aristocrats, agonizing over the unseemly influence that Rasputin, the magical healer, charismatic leech and peasant, had over the Tsar, and particularly over the Tsarina. In December, Yusupov invited Rasputin to his palace, where he offered him cyanide-laced cakes and then shot him for good measure. Although the Tsarina was distraught, the Tsar let Yusupov off lightly, exiling the prince and his wife Irina, and in doing so spared their lives from the revolution 16 years later mgm produced rasputin and the empress and it was

based on those events and it was a big casting coup it had three members of the barrymore family yes it used to be that that was a respected acting company before drew barrymore who worshipped at shipped at the feet of Dylan Mulvaney and calls Lala Harris Mamala. Anyway, you have the Barrymores. So in the lead roles, you had Lionel Barrymore playing Rasputin. Ethel was playing the Tsarina. And John Barrymore was playing the grandfather of Drew. And they changed the name of this prince. This is one of the things that they changed.

Prince Paul Chegodief was the part that was played by John Barrymore. And it was kind of a composite figure. But, of course, he's the one who murders Rasputin. And the guy who actually murdered him was Prince Felix Yusupov. Well, Yusupov. Well, Yusupov was penniless in Paris at the time. He heard about the film and he thought it was defamatory. He argued that audiences would recognize him as the assassin in part because he'd publicly cashed in on killing Rasputin.

He'd bragged about it in a memoir, the fact that he killed Rasputin. He bragged about it in a memoir, the fact that he killed Rasputin, he bragged about it. And he wasn't wrong. The New York Times did an article about how this character in the film really was him. But since he had already confessed to the murder, there wasn't really much that he could do to come after them for defamation. He was proud of it, you know know kind of like trump with his vaccines except that trump didn't actually shoot people he just poisoned us with the cyanides it wasn't cyanide it was something worse the um uh the vaccines anyway um so what he did was he alleged

that the movie had defamed his wife because in the movie it shows raz putin um uh raping the uh wife of the guy who um who kills him and uh and that's kind of interesting you know just like in the trump film this rape allegation is at the center of it well this guy who actually killed Rasputin his wife was not raped by Rasputin she never ever even came in contact with him and so that was demonstrably false and but that was the basis on which he sued MGM and you may ask well why didn't MGM just because there was a lot of speculation about whether or not rasputin was having relations with the czarina mainly because rasputin used to like to brag about it um he uh he he would go to the local bars and talk about how that was what he was doing. And as they point out in this article, the person who was libeled really was perhaps Rasputin,

who couldn't do anything about it because he was dead. They claimed that he was infatuated with his beard and he used to love to kiss it. Anyway, an MGM researcher had pointed out to the company that this is a really bad idea you know this is um you're showing that this woman has been raped who never met him there was you know the czarina who was having uh sexual relations with him but the problem was is that because they had gotten the barrymores as a as a family there to play these big roles and that was their big thing we got these big stars in this movie the problem is is that if they had a um if they of course they weren't going to explicitly show anything in those days

but if they had even suggested that Rasputin was having um sexual relations with a Tsarina, that would be, everybody knew that the two actors, the actor and the actress that were playing these two roles were brother and sister. And that kind of association would just be too incestuous in people's minds. That's how much America has changed now. Isn't that interesting? No, no, we can't do that, they said. And as a matter of fact, as she said, this is going to

get us sued, they fired her. That decision came back to haunt them because they lost in court. Again, they didn't want to have a real-life brother and sister in this romantic role, and so they concocted this rape of someone else uh so the wife sued the studio and the jury found her favor uh and they gave her um a large settlement a large settlement and um as a matter of fact um it was $125,000 back then. I said earlier that the guy was fined $10,000 in 1917. I said it was $3 million. I made a mistake. I was thinking of this.

This is the $3 million. $125,000 in 1933. $3 million today because of the Federal Reserve and their policies. Anyway, so big fine to MGM. And the problem was they didn't have anything that said it was a fictional piece of work. They had prefaced the film instead with this. Quote, this concerns the destruction of an empire.

A few of the characters are still alive. The rest met death by violence. And so from that, the audience could logically infer that they were talking about this, the Yusupovs, because they're the only ones who are still alive. That family. So a judge in the case told MGM the studio might have had a better chance if they'd incorporated a disclaimer stating exactly the opposite that this is not a true story uh that the film was not intended as an accurate portrayal of real people or events so in the wake of the landmark lawsuit the film industry slapped that wording on everything they didn't want to get another three million dollar judgment so for decades the films disclaimed absolutely any relationship to reality

interestingly enough that even in the film raging bull which is based on the life of boxer jake lamotta and actually credits jake lamotta as a consultant and it cites his memoirs as source text. And then it says, but it's entirely fictional. There's a running away from it as fast as they can, but they put that in. It's just a boilerplate thing. So again, I'm sure they've got that in this movie. And if they got that in the movie and Ivana said it at some point in time, there's not going to be anything he can do about it. It will be used to smear him just like these trials are used to smear him.

But again, he will do the lawsuit to try to protect his honor. His honor? Has he got honor left? I don't know. And then we got the Trump media stock, as I talked about. He lost $328 million on revenue of $770,000. Just stop and think about this. For every dollar that truth media, or it's actually truth social, Trump media, for every dollar of revenue they took in, they lost $424.

Isn't that amazing? I mean, this is, this is like the bad decision of Ford to lose. What was it? Something like $130,000 on every car, every electric vehicle that they sell. They cost them something like a hundred thousand, $130,000 for each one of those. So I guess you just make it up on volume, right? Revenue of $700,000. thousand dollars for each one of those so i guess you just make it up on volume right revenue of seven hundred thousand dollars and he lost uh three hundred and twenty eight million dollars so after that came out the trump stock fell by ten percent but look the biggest loss if trump gets it let's talk there's here's one policy issue that comes out of all this stuff.

And the last couple of days, all the rest of this is just professional wrestling circus and all the rest of this stuff. But here's something that will actually cost you money. Trump is proposing to have massive tariffs. across-the-board tariff on all imports, combined with higher tariffs aimed specifically at China, where we get most of our stuff. Now, if this were to go through, Reason Magazine points out that one organization that has looked at this, as a matter of fact, three of them have looked at it,

and they've all come up with pretty much about the same figure. But if he does 10% across-the-board tariffs, and they said, you up but pretty much about the same figure but if he does 10 across the board tariffs and i said you know both trump and biden have put in a lot of tariffs and so we kind of know exactly what's going to happen with us we're just talking about um you know the magnitude of it not how it's going to roll through but we we were just talking about the magnitude of the tariffs. Now we know how they're going to propagate out in the economy, how they're going to cost people. And so, um, this one organization says, well, a new set of tariffs,

10% across the board, and then some targeting China as much as 60%. Charge targeting China. It's going to raise prices for the average American family, an estimated $1,700 a year is what it'll cost you if Trump gets elected. He's taking the economic advantage that he has over Biden and squandering it. Trump's tax cuts were not a good thing. And, of course, his last year with all the World Economic Forum policies that he implemented and the un policies

that trump implemented um and all of that stuff world health organizations pandemic all of that stuff that he did was horrific but he went they said it'll cost americans about 500 billion dollars per year in general about 1700 per family you got1,700 around that you want to give to him for this? It's a massive tax increase on foreign goods. So, of course, it is going to hurt people. Here's the thing. Why do they always do this? And why is Trump raising taxes?

Is it because he's a New York Democrat, which he is, you know, if you want to fight foreign imports, then take taxes off of anything that's made in America. Wouldn't that be better? Right. It wouldn't cost people anything. You could make the American goods more affordable by, you know, removing taxes or something like that. But no, they will add taxes to the foreign stuff, increasing the cost of everything to us.

So that was one organization, said $1,700 a month. Another one that Reason says leans left as a think tank, they came up with $1,500 a year annually. Another one, the Tax Foundation estimated $300 billion. But this one said $500 billion and $1,700 per family. So it's pretty telling, says Reason, that the Trump campaign isn't even trying to engage in some kind of an intellectual gymnastics to justify his plan to hike taxes and prices on Americans. So when they contact him, they get this arrogant reply from a spokesman for the Trump campaign. It says, American people don't need papers from alleged experts to know that they'll have more money in their pockets with President Trump, even though he's going to raise taxes up to 60% on goods coming in from China, which the globalists have already set this up.

Pretty much everything we're buying right now is coming from China. It's just like what Biden is doing. You've got to have EVs, and you've got to have them now. We're not going to have any transition period. Well, that's what he's doing with this. And so reason says being a populist means never having to admit you're wrong. Because that's a true love story. And if someone demonstrates that you are,

you can always just claim that they're bad because they know things yeah that's basically where we are yeah love means never having to say you're sorry especially if the maga cult loves you so much you never have to say you're sorry uh well we don't have that song to play for you. Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton! You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, we have Tony joining us in about 10 minutes, so let me go through some of the emails and letters that I've received here in the last couple of days. This is from listener Matt, subject Deutschland. He said, I heard you say at yesterday's show you've been to Germany several times. I'm going for the first time in about a month with my father.

They're hosting the 2024 Euro Cup football. Yeah. And I'm going to be flying in and out of Frankfurt and visiting and seeing games in Dortmund and Cologne, possibly Gelsenkirchen as well. Did you like it there? Where did you go? And do you have any advice? I've never been out of the country unless you count Bermuda or Candace. I'm really looking forward to it.

Well, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Quite frankly, it's been a long time since I was in Germany proper. I went to Europe several times, but it's been so long. And I tell you, things have changed so much in Europe with all the open open borders and stuff like that i'd hesitate to uh take a stab at uh at what i would i guess that you're going to see but i think you'll like it um actually um most of the time that's been in germany was about 51 years ago and it was with the music high school group that i was with we went went through some of the bigger cities there, Munich and Stuttgart, and I was surprised at how modern they were.

I had not really thought about it until that point, how close I was in time to World War II. I was born 10 years after World War II. And so when I was there, it was 28 years after world war ii had ended and big cities like munich and stuttgart had been absolutely uh devastated with bombing campaigns and so they were all brand spanking new and very uninteresting actually and so we didn't spend a lot of time there we did go to heidelberg which was spared and it was an old walled city and um and it was very nice i i liked that um and um you know places like that places like lichtenstein

places when we went through uh switzerland um it was uh lucerne that we went to didn't go to big cities like basel or zurich and i'm glad glad we didn't because Lucerne was really cool. They had this 1,500-year-old, or not 1,500 years. It was, I think, done in 1,500. Massive timbers, this wooden bridge that was there at Lake Lucerne. And also on the lake, they had this massive statue. You should look it up on the internet. It's a really amazing statue of a lion that's been shot with a bunch of arrows a dead lion that has a swiss shield lying

on it and it was a reference to the swiss mercenaries you know the vatican still has a swiss guard but that was an amazing statue i really enjoyed lucerne and the more rural areas and uh but again um you know it was kind of this you know one of these things uh 12 countries and uh you know uh in 10 days type of deal you know we just running through all this stuff we went back to some places um took the kids to austria in 2001 i wanted to see vienna and we went to vienna and salzburg and really enjoyed that uh boy talk about a lot of culture and other things that are there truly is amazing but um but i haven't actually traveled that much in the last several decades i've gone on some business trips like to

denmark and things like that but it's um you, but, um, I just haven't traveled that much. And I really don't like to travel, um, on planes. I hate it. Um, it used to be, it was kind of, it was kind of nice before 2001, but after 2001, it got to be not so nice. And then it's the last couple of years has really gotten to be dangerous. I mean, I never avoided flights because I thought I was going to crash. I think that would be something to think about. So hopefully you'll have a safe trip. We'll be praying for you. And then this was sent to me, an ode to Klaus Schwab. And this is from Alfred. He says, what does David Icke have to say about the World Economic Forum head,

honcho, Schwab, stepping down? And he sent this to me last night night actually i'm surprised maybe he didn't catch my program on it uh but he says the global cult is a network of secret societies answering ultimately to a non-human force and then alfred puts in parentheses the devil worshipers and satanists no that's not what davidcke says. Look, I agree with David Icke on many, many, many things. But where we have a big disagreement is the fact that he believes that these are space aliens. He's a non-believer in God and Christ. He doesn't believe any of that stuff. So he doesn't see this as Satanists. He thinks that these are space aliens that have been misinterpreted by the world's religions as satanic or as the

islamists say gens you know some kind of a you know genie evil genie or something like that or we would say satanic demonic forces or something but he just thinks that it's space aliens and i think that's a really big deal it's a really big disagreement that we have so even though we may agree on pretty much all the stuff about government and everything, this is far more important. And so that's where our disagreement is. But he goes on to say that, and again, what he's saying is a non-human force. You know, lizard people or whatever he wants to describe it as.

I do believe that it is a non-human force, but I think it's more specific. I would go with what the Bible has to say. And I think that since we don't fight against flesh and blood, right, but against principalities and powers and the evil rulers of this dark world. Who is that? That's not evil rulers of this dark world. It's not people like Trump and Biden. They're not in charge. It's not even the people like the CIA.

But it's these non-human forces, these spiritual forces that are above them. And so when people talk about the bloodlines, the Illuminati and other things like that and how, you know, you got the Rockefeller Foundation is passing it along. It's not that. It's not that. They may use some of the same people, but the reason that you have this very, very repeated pattern throughout different generations, people look at it and say, well, it's these families that are doing it. No, it's because we are against these undying, unseen, evil forces that are non-human. That's why you have this consistent march through this stuff that looks like a long-term conspiracy that people have said,

well, it's a conspiracy of different families. No, it's not. Anyway, he says, David Icke is sharper than a butcher's knife. He's the ultimate investigative journalist par excellence. Almost four years ago from the lockdown and all the covid bs was happening david eich appeared on the alex jones show and made the very bold statement that there is no virus well i remember that very clearly uh i had been saying that on my show on the alex jones network at that point in time for i think three months and i had not directly

confronted mike adams on any of that stuff because Mike Adams was saying exactly the opposite, scaring everybody, so was Alex, to make money. And they made record profits. But I said, no, there is no basis for this pandemic. And as a matter of fact, even before it happened, the week that Trump did it on a Friday after my show. But earlier in the week, Gary Haven, who I really like, Gary Haven had Curves.

He's a billionaire who did the franchises of Curves and everything. He came by, and he wanted to get on the Alex Jones show, and he wanted to scare everybody about this. And he truly believed it. I mean, he wasn't doing it to make money like Alex is doing. I don't think Alex believed it. Uh, he was just doing it to make money, but Gary Haven really was scared to death.

And he had gone by and he talked to a governor Abbott said, he's got to lock this down. Everybody's going to die. If you don't lock down right now, it's like, I don't think so. So I had, um,

I'd said, instead of saying, well, Gary Haven says this and I say opposite or Alex or Mike Adams said this. And I, well, Gary Haven says this, and I say, or Alex or Mike Adams said this, and I disagree with them. I didn't mention them by name. I just said, well, I don't believe such and such, which is what they were saying. And this is what I believe.

But when David Icke came on, that really got Mike Adams angry. And he wrote a piece, uh, attacking David Ike for saying that there was no virus. And then talking about how he's the only person in alternative media that's got a science degree. And that was like, okay, okay. Uh, you want to measure up your science degree where he doesn't even put where, where he, what his science degree is or where he went to school. Okay. So, uh, anyway,

we, um, uh, he, he put that out there. And then I, at that point in time, I directly attacked Mike Adams by name.

And then he attacked me directly by name in his, uh, on his website. And we were going back and forth, but that kind of kicked it off with David Ike coming there. Uh, so yeah, uh,

he says, um, uh, David Ike was immediately banned everywhere for these claims he was banned before alex jones because if allowed to speak unchecked it would have brought an untimely end to the covid bs scam ultimately he was proven right well um i was fired for opposing this stuff um that uh put us on a bad footing and then when the trump stuff came around i was fired for opposing that but look uh david ike was right about it as well i'm glad that he was i'm glad that he had the boldness to say that uh this is from um from a listener bev and she says um there's a uk article and she has a link to it u.s bird flu cause is chicken feces being fed as feed

to u.s cattle she said how disgusting is this well it is very disgusting how is bird flu crossing species to cattle by cattle feed made of chicken feces and see i don't even know that it's crossing the cattle are not sick they They're giving them these tests. And just as they said with a lot of wild animals, they said, you know, when you give the test to these animals, you're running this PCR test. And who knows what the magnification level is because they won't tell us, right?

Now, that's your clue as to what's going on. But if you have a fox or something that that eats a dead bird that died of disease do you think you might find fragments of that disease there whether or not the fox is sick because they ate the fox do you think that um they would find fragments of uh bird flu if um fed birds that had it if they would find it in the cattle if they give them chicken feces. And so what American company, what kind of state of mind is it that they would put their brand on something where they decide they're going to feed their cattle with chicken feces?

Well, that's the world that we live in. And just think about what they're going to put in your food if we let them do the lab meat again they will do anything for money anything and they they do this kind of stuff because they're so big you know if you got an organic farmer are they gonna do that no because they don't want to give you substandard stuff that's going to blow back on them in a marketplace if you go to a restaurant, for example, are they going to feed you the really awful kinds of garbage that you're going to get at a fast food restaurant? No.

Because it isn't worth it for them to save a few bucks and to make something that is really, really poor quality. But it's worth it for McDonald's and all the rest of the fast food places. Why? Because if they can shave just a couple of pennies off of these things and then sell billions of them, that's a lot of money for them. And they're willing to cut the corners on this simply because it is centralized and because of the scale of this stuff. It's another argument for decentralization. And, of course, it's another argument for understanding what these people are putting into the food and how they're running this game

over and over again. There's absolutely no end to what they're doing. They're not telling us that we got a second human who is sick with bird flu. And guess what? Just like the first one, pink eye, pink eye.

Pink eye is not fatal. Pink eye is not fatal. Pink eye doesn't do anything to your eyes. It's just an infection. It hurts and you get over it. And if you look up the history, all of the medical journals and ophthalmology journals will tell you that you can get it from just having dirty hands and rubbing your eyes with it. The first guy and probably the same thing with this other guy, the first guy had no fever, and he had no involvement with his lungs. So he didn't have flu.

He had pinkeye, and he could have gotten that. Both of them had been farm workers. They could easily, you know, farm workers are working with all kinds of excrement to start with. Could have easily gotten that by just not having a sanitary hands and touching his eyes. It's amazing how they continue to push this and people will just go along with it. All right. So Tony is waiting.

Let's take a quick break and we're going to be right back and we're going to talk a little bit about money the common man they created common core to dumb down our children they created common paths to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what

they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.

Always good to see you. Uh, we were talking off air and, uh, he said we can start by picking up where I was just talking about tariffs. Uh, what's your take on the tariff stuff here? What did we do?

Should we just add a 10% or 60% as that reason magazine said? You know, people are going to say the price of stuff going up. Does it really make any difference to them whether it's inflation or whether it's extra taxes? I mean, the bottom line is everything is more expensive, right? Right. And I was listening to the show, a great show, by the way. Thank you. This subject matter, and nobody's talking about it. It seems it's just appeared out of nowhere which is the most bizarre thing and the the tariffs are like a fun

house mirror version of what they actually were intended to be if you know anything about the history of united states i mean the second act out of congress was the tariff act you know all four presidents on mount rushmore all the figures on our paper currency all supported tariffs there's no free traders in there this is a a 20th century concoction, especially post-World War II, to open up our markets after we destroyed Japan and Europe was in ruins. And we opened up our markets. So there's always been an argument against protectionism. Protectionism was isolationism. And isolationism was, well, it was racist.

And it's all these horrible things. You can't be an economic nationalist. And it's something that Pat Buchanan talked about running for president in the 1990s. I started picking up as a teenager, I started looking into economic nationalism. I was fascinated by this. I'm like, is it really? Is so much of the majority, they abandoning what worked? And over time, I came to the conclusion that they had.

They abandoned what had built the country. What's so bizarre, David, I know a lot about this because when I ran for office, I looked, I was a pariah to the establishment and I'd go on talk radio, even like the conservatives who I was on talk, the crop of conservatives I was with on talk radio, they've all gone on to syndication. But when I would talk about, you know, economic nationalism tariffs, they said, that's lib stuff. You're doing lib stuff like that's what that's what liberals do. And I'm like, no, that's that's part of our history. But I think the most fascinating part about it now is that you've got Joe Biden, who is an absolute free trader.

NAFTA guy was forgot, you know, the general agreement on trade and tariffs. CAFTA, the Central American Free Trade Agreement, TPP. This was Barack Obama's deal. Remember the Trans-Pacific Partnership was so good you couldn't even read the bill. Paul Ryan wouldn't let you. You had to go into a secure basement at the Capitol and you couldn't take pictures of it or leave with any paperwork if you were a member of any paperwork if you were a member of Congress, but you were supposed to pass it because free trade works. So my big question now is Joe Biden is talking about these tariffs. I mean, Trump put on some tariffs when he was president.

And I think I thought that was kind of a natural extension of where the country was going. But now I'm just totally uncertain because it seems it it's targeted it has nothing to do with it you know i think one of the the main things about free trade is is that if if you can't make it here then it should be free if it can't be made here then there should be no import uh taxes at all so but if it can be made here then it needs to be strategic but what are these people doing because these the the the establishment has always uh reflexively shot down any sort of argument for tariffs this has been this has always been the establishment's goal is to make sure that that isolationism and protectionism is dead but now they're saying it's good so i think this is what this is the the signpost

you know the red flags that that i look for in the headlines that are to me signaling that there's much more to this story obviously i mean i go back to just just in you know 10 years ago my my friend congressman ralph hall who i worked for i ran against him and i worked for him for a little while he was the alone voice in congress that was standing up for american steel workers he was one of the only members of congress why the same time the south koreans were dumping in these giant swaths of steel into our market and aluminum and i remember him being so there was nobody talking about putting tariffs on anywhere there was again it was uh it was supposed

to be a throwback now i think the red flag david and i'd love to get your take on this what is happening you have you know i saw biden giving this press conference today talking about tariffs i know there's a trade war it starts with a currency war you know again we're we're in a fourth turning as you talk about there's massive shifts geopolitically going on, and the headlines don't necessarily mean what the mainstream media thinks they mean. So I'm looking at this totally differently. When you've got an establishment that has abandoned their own playbook in its silence, it's like you say, the Sherlock Holmes, the dog that didn't bark. No, I have not seen one talking head come out and condemn Biden for tariffs. I've not seen one.

There might be, but I have not seen one headline, one pushback from all of the voices that when, you know, if you 10 years ago, 15 years, you talk about this and you were, oh, that's just, that's just a bygone era. You know, we live in a modern global economy now you would get that or you don't know what you're talking about that would but now they're just throwing tariffs out there so again i'm for tariffs well i think that there's a i agree and you know i as we've talked about this in the past you know jefferson in his second inaugural address said um by eliminating useless offices uh and the size of the government, I'm paraphrasing it here, we have eliminated all internal taxes from the federal government. So no farmer, no laborer, no mechanic knows the tax man. But you notice that the first

thing he did was he cut the size of government, right? That allowed him to cut the taxes. But then the taxes were at the border, and America was free of taxes except for what would happen at the state and local level. And then everything changed in 1913 when you had the Federal Reserve and the income tax, and then they started making this stuff a free trade and all that. And that was a big change right there. And I think we're in for another change. I think the common thing that I see is that both Trump and Biden are using these tariffs as an attack. This is not an economic argument about what would be best for the economy. They don't care what is best for the economy. They don't care what is best

for the economy. They're using it to attack China, right? Trump says 10% across the board because, hey, we're Americans. I'm going to show you that I'm going to put America first. And then 60% for China, he scoots. And Biden is using the tariffs and he's using sanctions and things like that as a prelude to war. And I think that's what that's really about. And, um, you know, so to me, I look, I look at it, you're talking about steel. We can't have steel if you're going to shut down energy. Right. And that's what happened. They just had the last, uh, steel plant in the UK shut down.

Why? Because they can't compete with anything in China. China's got cheap energy because they can build as many and as dirty uh coal-powered plants as they want but they're shutting all that down in europe and the united states so we can't compete with the chinese because that's one of the biggest cost factors going into the making of steel so steel is going to shut down whether or not you put any tariffs at the border you put tariffs at the border you're still going to shut down whether or not you put any tariffs at the border. You put tariffs at the border, you're still going to have no steel if you've got all kinds of restrictions on energy production.

You're still not going to be able to make steel effectively. And if you do, it's going to be incredibly expensive. But then they'll put taxes on any steel that's coming across the border as well. It's just a way of strangling us, I think. I think both of these presidents, their policies are not about putting American interests and saving the American economy. I think it's about war. I think it's about pushing war. I think it's about going to war with other countries. I think it's about going to war with the American people as well. I agree with you 1000%. These tariffs are acts of war. They have nothing to do with

strengthening the economy. I remember when trump was running for president the first time and he said i'm going to build the wall and mexico is going to pay for it and i said he he can absolutely do that he just has to put you put a five percent tariff on non-agricultural goods coming across the border you pay for the wall over what a five-year period or something he never made that argument i kept wondering why his team didn't just tell him to say that because the media would say you can't do that mexico was not going to pay for it that they never made the argument it was bizarre and now you got these you're talking about 60 percent some odd tariffs i will say china already has they used our old playbook kind of like the smooth holly tariffs in the 1930s they have 50 tariffs on a lot of stuff like incoming goods

you can't hardly get things into china they they propose free trade um but they don't practice it necessarily but these this is you're exactly we didn't set the conditions either or to give incentives to these companies to build things here to make things that we don't we don't have these tax-free zones so we're not creating so's really, it's just an act of war. Exactly. It's an exercise. They're not doing anything to help our economy or to help our manufacturing whatsoever. If they want to do that, they would start reducing imposed costs and imposed regulations,

prohibitions and bans and all the rest of the stuff. But no, they keep layering those on. So it's like, okay, what's the real agenda here? Real agenda is to make us poor. It's to go to war with us and to go to war with other countries via these economic measures because that's the way the wars always start. I got some questions for you. A lot of people

put some questions on here for you, Tony. On Rockfan, a Syrian girl says, please ask Tony where he suggests people keep their metals. Seems like after CBDC hits, the government will raid the big custodial houses. Huge hit there. And certainly all safety deposit boxes.

What do you think? Well, first of all, safety deposit boxes, bad idea. Just a bad idea across the board. You've got your name or your company's name on a safety deposit box in the bank. You might have a great relationship with your bank, but those are all on the record. And you just don't want to do that. I think there's some good storage houses, but you're right. I mean, um, I use the storage house IDS and other places, Dylan gauge in Dallas and, and, um, their networks. I use them for, and that's where the rich, you know, they don't keep their metals at home. Uh, they're

very wealthy. They, they have a offsite storage. Umsite storage um you know but again unless you hold it in your hand and you've secured it that's about the the only true way to know i've got this gold or silver so i mean nothing i would never say that's a 100 safe over here i mean you've got degrees of safety and i think that if it's a custodial storage facility that's outside of the banking system which if you store your metals with me, like with the gold and silver IRAs, it's outside of the banking system. It's not linked to a bank. That's a good place to start.

If you can secure them at home with a fireproof safe, and you feel pretty good about, you know, having somebody watch it if you leave or anything like that. I mean, that's a good way to store it as well. That's a great question i think the degrees of safety you know as you as you depart away from you holding it in your hand securely um those are going to change and then i think you have to do your own research and whichever you're comfortable with and especially how much you have yeah yeah buried in the yard that's that's not you there's way but you can look that up there's ways to do that yeah make sure make sure that you know where it is there's a lot of

safes that are out there like that i had some friends who did that back in north carolina so uh and uh you know that's the first time i saw that on rockfin jason barker good to see you jason asked tony if a precious metal ira will be taxed when it is drawn out, many states have done away with taxing metals. Well, I think it's two different things, right? You got sales tax, uh, which a lot of them are getting rid of, but then of course the IRA, uh, depending on what kind of IRA you got, um, you know, if you've deferred the taxes on it, yes.

Whenever you take money out in any form, they're going to tax it. Right. Right. Well, that's, that's per the regulations of the IRA. And it wouldn't matter if it's precious metals or you got it tied to mutual funds or just paper or just in a savings account. It's all tied to the same taxing system and it's whether or not it's matured. And of course, the state you're living in, that's a good question.

Like, I think what he's referring to is the income tax of those states. That would pertain to the same thing, again, with the paper IRA, just regular IRA. That would be the same system of taxation. So you'd ask your CPA on that. But I'm not 100% sure on the states that actually tax income on precious metals. Yeah, there's like a Roth IRA where you can pay the taxes in the year that you make the money and then you can you can put it in this IRA and then you don't have to pay on the compounded gain I think I don't know I'm not an accountant but you know standard one you deduct whatever you put into the IRA that year against your income taxes so then you have to pay when you take it out and as you said that is there

regardless of you know whether you've got stocks uh there regardless of um you know whether you got stocks or bonds or metals or you know cash or whatever you got in your ira that's a function of the ira um on rumble ap rumble seat says can you ask tony if he thinks he'll attempt taking the system down this year for digital currency taking the entire financial system down to this year in cbdc yeah this year this year uh i hope not i think it's always a possibility i think the further we uh the closer we get uh to any sort of kinetic war with an outside entity and i'm praying that we don't do that like if if you see all that that's why i was talking at the beginning of our interview here about how strange it is on these tariffs i mean if you if you don't know history if you haven't you know paid close attention to the financial history the last

couple hundred years then it doesn't seem all that out of sorts but it is out of sorts it's very strange so these are kind of the signposts and things that are alarming me so if we stay out of the box of having any sort of kinetic conflict that's major I think we can continue a a while I think they'd like to I think they'd like to have a smoother transition into CBDC I think it'd be like oh and then it will be precipitated by I believe a banking crisis and it'll be a way for you to for your safety for you to opt into it some kind of stimulus check some kind of stimulus money that's going to be tied to you accepting it

because that's the plan that they use the gates push that in india with their odd horse system they got all the poor people sign on it because you know hey you want to get your you want to get welfare you want to get um you know medical. You've got to take a number and wait. But you take the mark of the beast and wait, that type of thing. So they'll bust stuff and then, oh, but we're here to help you. But you're going to have to get the ID. That's the only way you can process this. Yeah, I agree.

I agree with that totally. And it'll be more of a soft thing than a complete demolition of the grid itself. And then ordering you to, you have to accept it. I think it's part of this on a spiritual level. Like you were talking earlier about the spiritual entities, really, that guide the conspiracy. It's not like one family or two families. I mean, I think there are some linkages and bloodlines and things like that. But I think this is all spiritual yeah yeah and of course you know

people do pass their spirituality along good or bad to their kids in many ways uh and you know we're talking about the grid down scenario right one of the things we looked at this and we say well you know um they're not going to take the grid down because they really need to have that grid for their own purposes and everything but now we start to see that with artificial intelligence and with these other things as they're destroying our grid uh you got sam altman you got um bezos all these uh uh you know these uh artelike uh villains they're setting up their own personal power stuff you know they're gonna have their own nuclear reactors and things like that so they're setting up a parallel grid and of course the government's got its own as well.

So they could very easily come in and say, you know, I'm really sorry, but, you know, we've just been hacked by the Russians. And they've completely destroyed the grid that y'all use. It's a good thing that we thought about having our own separate grid out here. And we're just fine. Thank you. And they'll keep their Internet and they'll keep their surveillance stuff and they'll keep all the things that they're doing. But they'll shut down the power to us. That's why that's one of the things that people need to think about in terms of preparing.

What are you going to do? How are you going to live without it? Can you come up with some kind of yourself power generation? Because they're setting up their own power generation that is off of the grid as well. Useless eaters of the world unite. That's right. That's where we are. We should set up a club, the useless eaters of the world unite that's right that's where we are we should set up a club the useless eaters club parallel economies parallel systems we set up our own yeah i think we we can we set up our own they want their own thing they're all these bond villains

yeah globalist satanist they set up their own. But they still have to have people to run them. The World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwabian, live in your pod and you'll own nothing and be happy. Here's some bugs from Greta. That future that they're proposing, nobody wants it. It's dead on arrival. Nobody wants it. And I love that he's finally stepped down and

of course the world economic forum is just the same age as as our fiat currency dollar you know they kind of go together 1971 is this they're on the same path you know and it's fiat is fake and and again that's what what they've proposed nobody wants it's the the world that they've created is a hellhole it's unstable it's schizophrenic it is it's dirty right we don't we don't have the jetsons future that we were promised there's no flying cars there's you know um and it doesn't look good they've they've done their best to suppress uh the imagination and ingenuity and spirit of people in the united states especially to make sure that we're just kind of like a we got this one one class of people in the united states especially to make sure that

we're just kind of like a we got this one one class of people that's our two classes of people at the super elite and then us the rest of us right there's almost no middle class they've done a pretty good job at that although make sure they've got their flying cars they just to make sure we don't have any access to them and i'm not necessarily certain that i would want to be on one of their flying cars either uh if we take a look at the cyber truck for example but uh another quick another couple of questions here on rock fan michelle obama thank you for the tip says i might be five kinds of wolf in six months depending on how much extra cash i'm working with i change it all the time once you sent me a little gold coin i carry it sometimes and show people

occasionally people inspect hold it as if it's a medieval sailing navigation apparatus they have no idea what is going on or if it's real so much fun if not for uh wwg wise wolf gold i would not be holding uh and he says uh airborne and then he also i guess he was in airborne as well as you were in that right uh absolutely yeah so i guess both of you were airborne um on rock fan michelle obama also writes he says tony regarding the color uh wise wolf gold flash sales how does that work why isn't there ever any of those crazy cool space looking chinese coins from wolf classes flash uh what is that salad okay so i don't know why do you understand i'm not sure i understand the question well first of all thank you and i'm so i'm proud when i hear you know that that really

that gives me fuel to continue what i'm doing and try to find great products for people when you say well i really love what you sent us because we again i i search weekly you know everywhere and all the nooks and crannies to get the best deals so i can put those in wolfpack and give the variety i'm very cognizant of every single item that goes in every invoice so thank you for appreciating that um it's been interesting the last uh 10 days silver has gone up the highest it's been uh in the last 11 years wow and uh you know it's it's broke 32 an ounce we had a large silver buy the other day and i as i was building the the lone wolf packages i realized that i couldn't with shipping and everything else, I couldn't give them just a regular silver round. I had to make something different.

So what I did was I had bought giant thing of, uh, it was one of the largest things I've, I've ever bought of silver dollars pre 1900 Morgan silver dollars. So if you're a lone wolf, you got to, you got a real Morgan. So I was able to buy them for a good amount uh where i saved enough i could pass it on to the customer and we looked them up some of them are going to be worth more than even i thought they were going to be worth so you're going to get a collectible if you're a lone wolf member so uh and that's going to last until i run out of these silver dollars so everything is is is very uh thought out when it comes to wolfpack and um the reason there's no the flash sales and the website

um you're echoing my frustration if i just had if i just had another me now i'm not proposing cloning or anything i don't want to get i don't want to get on a uval harare world economic forum thing about that i'm hackable um but i wish i had, uh, you know, my style of thinking and I could duplicate that, but I'm just running into the wall every week. I mean, I'm just like every day is kind of bleeding into the next now. Can it only get so far ahead, but we are going to do, um, more flash sales and, and, uh, you know, there's going to be, there's going to be more updates to the website. So stand by on that. It's not going to be stagnant. I won't leave it there.

Okay, great. Yeah, I remember the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton. He kept making copies of himself, and it would just get one aspect of his personality, or if they did a copy of a copy, it got kind of blurry. Not too bright, kind of dim. I don't think the world needs any more of me either. It was a funny movie. I don't know about the science involved in that, but it was a lot of fun.

And let's see another question here. And it's N-A-Y-T. Would that be night? Let's just say, well, I'm sorry if I mispronounce it. Anyway. Hey, Tony that why is to invest in silver and gold jewelry if you can if you understand the purity of the jewelry you're looking at and one of the things i would recommend is you understand like 10 karat gold is 39 14

karat gold is 59 and so on and so forth forth. Look at 18 karat, it's 72%. Know the purity of the item that you're buying, how much it weighs in grams, and do the math. There's 31.1 grams. I know I'm giving you a lot of math here. This is great to get all these questions, David. If I will add, on Saturday at 3 p.m., I have to record a show that's uh or a firm that i'm gonna i'm gonna be doing podcasts with they wanted me to do like an infomercial type show not necessarily for my company but to answer questions so 3 p.m on saturday on all my channels pretty much you can come find me whether

it's on rockfin or even on youtube i have a wise wolf youtube for now. And, um, we're going to do questions from the audience and questions that are already submitted. So 3 PM central time, if you want to join us for that, um, great. Definitely do that. That's on Saturday. And of course you said you're on YouTube for now, I guess when they push CBDC through, it'll be illegal to talk about gold. It'll be the, it'll be the financial equivalent of ivermectin i guess i don't put any i just always assume when i'm going to log in that it's gone because it happened to two of my other channels i might say i just assume if it's i'm like oh wow it's still streaming um but to get to answer the question on gold and silver jewelry just know how much weight you're looking at um and know about the purity uh sterling silver is 92.5 so just go by that it does don't overpay too much

there's some beautiful jewelry out there that you can get some jewelry value for but the more that you do that it's kind of like watches yeah watches are great rolex watches are great but you have to know exactly what you're doing you have to you have to know what the reese what's the store of value in that item and uh like a there's a lot of people that do 24 karat gold jewelry you can get that from me actually if you you could get bracelets and necklaces and they're not they're not stylish per se but you can get them from me that's the stuff that you could wear out of the country or wear somewhere and that's just housing your wealth another thing you can do the ladies do you could put them you know you could get a 20 gold piece put it in a bezel you don't want a 14 karat gold chain you know that's three thousand dollars right there

or more you know of of just meltable value so the jewelry can be a a good investment but you have to know what you're doing when as far as how much it weighs versus the the price of the metal yeah that'd be one way to travel with it and And of course, you know, as you point out, you know, just ordinary necklace or something like that. Some people will pay extra because of the aesthetics of it. And then you get into more of an issue is somebody else going to be willing to pay for the aesthetics like you paid for it. Just keeping it there on the weight amount and the purity amount, that's a smart way to do that. You know, I was looking at this, and of course, we've had the interest rates. The Fed came out, and they got hawkish.

And so that drove down stocks, bonds, gold, and oil. And I thought, well, that's kind of interesting. And I looked at gold versus oil. And look at this chart, folks. The orange one there, I know you can't see this, Tony, but the orange is gold and you can see that, and the blue one is oil. And so you can see that occasionally there's been some spikes up or down with either gold or with oil, but they've pretty much tracked each other. And they're being priced, and that's their price in the dollar. And so they pretty much go along. So what we're talking about is really whether or not the Fed's going to try to boost the dollar.

That's what I find interesting about all this. But, you know, when we look at it, somebody, what made me look at this, Tony, was somebody said, get ready for $100 oil, $100 a gallon oil at the pump someday, and maybe $130 if you want premium you know and i thought yeah let me look and see how oil and uh and gold have tracked and they track each other pretty closely because they're real versus the um the the dollar which is a fiat and it's not real and so what is happening with the hawkish fed and how they're manipulating these other financial instruments is simply about them boosting the dollar.

Because as you were talking about, the Chinese have been moving their stuff out of the dollar significantly. They said in April, the Chinese boosted their gold holdings. They bought enough gold that is roughly equivalent to 5% of what they publicly said they had. So, you know, that's pretty significant. And they're dumping American financial instruments coming out of the Federal Reserve. So the question is this. What do you think, Tony? We've always suggested and thought that they would be lowering interest rates, sacrificing

having inflation in order to support Biden. And of course, Biden has just completely emptied out one aspect of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to give an artificial high to the economy. But is the Fed going to support that? Or is the Fed's primary mission, you think, supporting this dollar, which is really under attack by China now, moving away from this, China and Russia, because it's weaponized by Biden. They're going to do whatever they need to do to support that, regardless of what happens to Biden in politics.

What do you think? Well, that is the question. You go back to interviews that we've had over the last couple of years, and as they've been raising interest rates faster than any time in history, I've often said, I think the economy is secondary to them always i don't think you think the central banksters care uh that deeply about the economy no they care about the supremacy of the currency they traffic in and the way that they you keep that supreme is you keep value in it the way you keep value is you keep interest rates how you keep what what they would refer to as a strong dollar and these moves that are being made by the biden administration these

tariffs which i think are just crazy if you know anything again i i find it just so hard to believe these are free these are dyed in the wool free traders just throwing out that we're going to do tariffs so something is afoot yeah something is not right. And I would say that at the end of the day, they would sacrifice because you and I both know whoever wins in November, we lose. It doesn't really matter. The establishment goes on. You're going to get a warp speed. You're going to get a foreign war. You're going to have open borders. You might get some interesting tweets. If Orange Man wins, you might might get something like that but you're not going to get you're not going to get policy that we that's going to help the country you're just not because we've already i've already we've already done this before which is

even the weirder part because we have to do it again and people the same people that live through it think that it's going to be different so i i i really do believe that at the end of the day if it comes down to it they if they know that if they lower rates, that it'll goose the economy and give them a sugar high, but that will hurt their standing as the world's reserve currency and their ability to project power will wane. I think they'll choose high interest rates. I think they'll choose raising rates. I think they'll step away from quantitative easing and like i it's because i again because i think no matter what happens in november they will can they need to continue uh that's how that's how they reign supreme uh the pentagon you know i said this many times the

pentagon with what three years ago ran a a gen z bitcoin revolt scenario on how to combat uh the younger generation moving away from the dollars. So they know where their lifeblood comes from. The lifeblood of the military industrial complex is the United States dollar. I agree. Yeah. And I think Biden is expendable, non-essential in that regard. Not essential.

Now his job has been declared non-essential and Trump as well, you know, because they, like you said, they don't care about the economy they care about uh their dollar and which is their superpower and i don't think that they um care about um biden as my typically they would do things to make him look good uh but i don't think they care about that either so i'm not quite so sure they're going to be doing any interest rate cuts before but the bottom line is you get into gold because uh it's insurance against what they're going to do. It's insurance against their economic policies and the chaos that they want to create.

And it's insurance against their CBDC trap. And so for all those reasons, get out of their system, have some things out of their system, just like we're talking about how they're creating their own power grid and all the rest of the stuff, which they're not going to share with us. I'm sorry. There's not enough power. We've got to run the artificial intelligence and the surveillance stuff.

So we don't have any left for you. So make sure you got your stuff on your own, your food production, all the rest of this stuff. We're going to have to do as much as we can to get as far away from their locked in system as we can. I think that's true of the money as well. I think so. Gold and silver are money.

Yeah. Honestly, you know, I'm not in the investment game, but I do trade fake Luciferian Bankster notes and turn those in and transmute those into real money. And that's gold and silver. And always a good idea to have physical.

That's part of, I think what's happening, the revolution in currency that we're seeing this big shift that's part of i think in the what's happening the revolution in currency that we're seeing this big shift that's going even steve forbes put out an article about how the the world's reserve currency is is going to be gold again it's just going to shift away from the dollar it's not going to be like the bricks it's not going to be the chinese you want it's not going to be any of that it'll be gold again that'll be that'll be the world's reserve currency i agree yeah and troubled uh uncertain crisis times uh that'll be the world's reserve currency. I agree. Yeah. And troubled,

uncertain crisis times. That's what's going to happen. He understands it. And I think some people are starting to get it outside of the levers of power in the central banks. Thank you so much for coming on, Tony. Thank you for what you do to support the show and folks.

Again, you can get to Tony's wise Wolf through David night. Gold. Oh, wait a minute. There's a couple more questions. Have you got a, have you got a Tony's Wise Wolf through DavidKnight.Gold. Wait a minute. There's a couple more questions. Have you got a moment? You got it. Go ahead.

Okay. On Rumbled, Texas JFK Mindset. Can you guys talk about the real estate investment predictions, both residential and commercial? Well, I think you can see where inflation is. It's in the home prices. I was in real estate for many years. I had a real estate broker inflation is. It's in the home prices. I was in real estate for many years. I had a real estate brokerage when I got out of the military. It was one of the first things that I got interested in. I love real estate, but I think

that we're in a... It's so fake, it's hard to see where the value is, what's up or down, what's the true value of any of these things, especially the housing market. And I think Gerald Celente is right. I mean, you start looking at the vacancy rates of these things especially the housing market and i think gerald cilente is right i mean you start looking at the the vacancy rates of these major cities with these office buildings yeah you want to see like a bomb that's about to go off that's going to be so i don't i think that we're going to see lower prices like if if you can hold for a while like if you're going to go pick up some there's going to be a in my opinion there'll be a housing crisis of some kind with with with uh not only you know availability uh but the ability to to obtain the homes um and that's it's going to be it's going to be bad for for values i agree when you look at it we're really

entering another one of these financializations of the residential marketplace again like we did before but in a different way, you know, it's not exactly repeating, but it does rhyme with it because what are we seeing now? We're seeing that only these, um, wall street and hedge fund, uh, people have the liquidity to buy houses at this price. Uh, they don't have to worry so much about the interest rates because they're paying cash for it. Uh, so they've got the money to buy this stuff, but then, you know, what do we do with that? So that's the real big issue, and then there's the generational issues with it.

After Tony goes, I've got something to say about the financialization of farmlands as part of the war on food and on farming, because now the big real estate people are getting in, it's not just commercial real estate, which is going belly up and a threat to the banking industry, as Gerald says, because of the lockdowns and things like that. And it's not just because of the inflation and housing and the high interest rates that's causing the financialization of homes where they want to make sure that all of us are renters, but it's also the financialization of farmland. So we'll talk about that when we come back as well. Let's see. Comment from Northwest Free Zone.

Bricks will destroy the dollar. Yeah, I think so. And on Sprumford yesterday, Massey was on Sirius Patriot Channel being interviewed by Ron DeSantis. As soon as Massey brought up ending the Fed, because he introduced a bill to end the Fed. Good guy, Massey. DeSantis went to a commercial

brought to you by pfizer no wait the federal reserve uh also why does the government only put 50 value on a gold eagle when they're obviously worth way more yeah what does that uh does that value mean anything why they are they hiding their shame? It's, it's wishful thinking. They've already, they crossed that threshold. You know, they went from $20 an ounce.

And of course, Franklin Roosevelt made it $35 an ounce after he told you to turn, turn the gold in. I have a lot of those $20 gold pieces here in the shop. So they moved to the $35 now. So 50, you know, under Reagan

that's when they came back with the the the relaunch of the one ounce gold Eagle and the in the silver Eagle um that was just a way of kind of giving a wink and a nod to to the way things used to be when there was value in our currency that's all that is wishful thinking yeah yeah it's a just a nostalgic uh uh engraving that's on it. Isn't it? I guess. If they put the actual value of dollars on there, that'd be a different ball game. Wouldn't it? It would look really strange to the average person.

That's right. Uh, Chevron three 21, where would gold and silver be considered legal tender? And lots of States here in the union for sure. Um, there's, uh,'s other countries that that also have uh gold as legal to gold mostly as legal tender but all all over the united states um that's a that's a question i haven't did you know we've had a lot of these states now several of them i've talked about it have said through the ucc code the universal uh commercial code um and so the ucc code. So the UCC, they've said that they would recognize cryptocurrency, not recognize a central bank digital currency, foreign or domestic. Do they ever say anything in the UCC about gold and

silver? Not that I'm aware of. Interesting. I'm not sure of that. I do know a lot of these states have just gone ahead and said, you know, gold silver and you know our legal tender and of course you can use the american gold eagle and the american silver eagle uh but you have to remember too that if long gold and silver are very liquid so if you've just got a if you've got a dealer like me or a gold and silver exchange or just putting it out to the public you can sell it yourself it's very liquid very easy to get in and out of gold and silver so gold and silver just really to me are a better form of money yeah and of course you know we get into a situation where we've got gray markets or black markets or something like that which i i'm assuming

that's what's going to be in the future um then that uh all uh is going to work its way out you know because people figured out uh and they will do it pretty quickly. How to determine the value of the gold coins. Of course, they used to have people who would shave off the edges. That's why they've got the ridges on there, you know, just shave a little bit off so they could gradually accumulate it. But it's a better way to gradually accumulate and an honest way to

gradually accumulate by going to a Wolfpack at wise Wolf gold, uh, through David night.gold. Thank you so much for coming on Tony. Do you have a program today following this show or. I do. I have the order burn radio transmission 11 AM central time. So if you want to join it, join me over on rock fin or, or on my Twitter at Tony Arterburn, we'll be broadcasting live. Great.

Great. And bring your questions. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll continue the live. Great. Great. Bring your questions. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll continue the questions there. Thank you so much,

Tony. Uh, thanks for coming on and thanks for all that you do to support the broadcast. We really do appreciate it. Thank you. All right, folks,

take a quick break and we'll be right back. Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against a real economic oppression in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, In our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly.

Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow, it will be something else. ¶¶ liberty it's your move you're listening to the david knight show all right and a couple of comments here. I'm going to talk about the financialization of farmland as part of the war on food, but a couple of comments here. I like what Mary Gunn said. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, trust in Jesus. Yes, absolutely.

On Rumble, No Truth in Them says, Well, either way, David, I'm going to stop eating chicken poop just to be safe. That's right. Because you might get some bird flu if you do that might happen to get some other things as well i don't know uh it's just they will just just anything to make a buck won't they and there's no oversight from the fda from the usda like they have no problem with that uh feeding uh chicken poop to cows and then feeding the cows to you. The financialization of farmland.

This is something from Off Guardian. You can also find it at Free Thought Project. They picked up the Off Guardian article. Between 2008 and 2022, land prices nearly doubled throughout the world. They tripled in Central Eastern Europe. In the UK, an influx of investment from pension funds and private wealth contributed to a doubling of farmland prices from 2010 to 2015. Land prices in the U.S. agricultural heartlands of Iowa quadrupled between 2002 and 2020. Agricultural investment funds rose tenfold between 2005 and 2018 so u.s investors are doubling

their stake in farmland since 2020 meanwhile agricultural commodity traders are speculating on farmland through their own private equity subsidiaries while new financial derivatives are allowing speculators to accrue land parcels and lease them back to struggling farmers. This is like the housing thing, and we're going to wind up having, if they go in and they're making a lot of money buying up residential housing because they're the only ones that got the money to be able to afford prices for the houses at this price, they'll then turn back and lease them to us.

They'll create these financial derivatives. And we know what happens when they create these new financial instruments that are always a scam. I mean, we've seen this so many times. They keep doing this over and over again, creating these derivative markets, which is what they did with housing once before, but now doing it with farmland. And of course I think they'll do it with housing as well.

Top down green grabs are now accounting for 20% of large scale land deals. You want to know why, um, uh, Bill Gates is grabbing up all this farmland and everything. That's part of it. And it's also part of it is of course course, the war on food. That is very obvious. But the tremendous economic advantage that's there is something we really haven't talked about. I did not realize, for example, that things had doubled or tripled or quadrupled in all these different geographical areas. It's a smart investment for them to make, even if they didn't want to starve and kill us. But, hey, you know, I i mean it's a win-win

situation for somebody like bill gates he can make lots of money and starve and kill us that's exactly what they want to do uh so there have been uh government pledges for land-based carbon removal alone that add up to almost 1.2 billion hectares equivalent to the total global crop land think about that and of course a lot of these conservation easements which is uh last time i had on um uh senator nicely he was talking about that how that's been a trap uh for a lot of people they are laying traps for everybody with things like conservation easements things like you know as they see the price of land going up, they can get into these derivative instruments.

The report says that agricultural land is increasingly being turned into a financial asset and, of course, doing it at the expense of small and medium-sized farms. However, despite skyrocketing food prices, there was, according to the IPES in 2022, that's an international panel of experts on sustainable food systems. This is a nonprofit think tank that's actually kind of on our side. They're against big agricultural concerns, against consolidation, centralization of food production. So the IPES says sufficient food

and no risk of global food supply shortages despite the skyrocketing prices. Despite the self-serving narrative being pushed by big agribusiness and land investors, they said there was no food shortage. So now we need to have the bird flu so that we can do things to destroy that. The increased prices were due to speculation on food commodities,

corporate profiteering, and a heavy reliance on food imports. And of course, it's not just meat and dairy. As I pointed out, these green goblins, that's what we should call them, the green goblins, they're villains we should call them, the green goblins. They're villains. They're gobbling up our land. They want to gobble up our food and make sure we don't have any. So the green goblins are out there even after rice.

Oh, sorry. It's got CO2 or methane or nitrogen. They'll come up with something that is ubiquitous so they can shut it down. It doesn't really matter. None of this stuff is true. The climate alarmism is not true. All the concern about natural substances like CO2, methane, and nitrogen is not of any concern. So they can call it anything they want and use that as a pretext to shut people's food down.

You know, other parts of the world world we're not using meat and dairy so much they use rice well let's shut got to shut that down too to save the planet the next word warns that sweden is on the brink brink of a civil war as the country is gripped by migrant violence i talked about this briefly the other day and of course that is the whole point, to get people to beg for IDs, because ultimately, regardless of which one of these crises they tell you that they're solving, it always goes back to the ID. That's what central bank digital currencies are about. That's what all this stuff is about. I'm going to take a quick break here. And when we come back, we're going to talk about something in terms of how artificial intelligence is going to impact our lives in a little bit different way. I talked about this a little bit yesterday in terms of Scarlett Johansson

and this voice that they tried to buy her voice and she didn't want to do it. So they copied it anyway, because, you know, that's what artificial intelligence does. It's all built on copyright and intellectual property theft, just like YouTube. But there's something else in it. You know, there's a movie that came out 11 years ago that precisely predicted all of this and what was going to be happening within the entertainment business. And we'll talk about that when we come back. Stay with us. Thank you. All right, and welcome back. Yesterday we talked about this interesting thing that's put out by OpenAI. They call it Chat 4.0, as in Omni. And that was a little chatty. I found it to be

very annoying voice that was there, but it was, um, did sound a good deal like Scarlett Johansson. And, um, she came out and said, uh, yeah, they tried to do a contract with me. I said, no, they went ahead and did anyway she sent them lawyers uh sent uh letters to them they took it down but this is broader than um just this one particular incident because as um hollywood reporter says battle lines are being drawn over the use of ai tools in hollywood actors may be the next group of creators to open another front and what could be an interest an industry defining legal battle against ai firms over the use of copyrighted works and personal data in order to power their human mimicking chat box um chat bots so

again they're stealing intellectual property they're stealing people's appearances they're stealing people's voices they use it for their own uh stuff but it's based on theft it's based on imitation repackaging it's very deceptive and when we look at it the reason i criticize it is not even for that, but because of what I think it was specifically designed for, and that is for surveillance and for pattern matching. You know, to be able to instantly identify us just as 5G is a fundamental technology that must be there, regardless of the consequences to us and to our health. It must be there as a substrate for the kind of surveillance state that they want so must you have artificial intelligence to make use of all that data so again she alleged that they were copying and imitating her voice after she

refused to license it to the company and i think it's um they can make a pretty strong case for it but this is actually something that was shown and predicted 11 years ago in a movie that really wasn't very good it had robin robin wright in it you know from the princess bride and she was actually playing herself and it was actually about the decision of a of an actress who in the movie uh robin robin wright has a child who's got real health issues that's created financial strain for her to give the incentive for her to sign over her entire persona to this company that uh then, uh, then takes it. And that's, um, she doesn't act anymore.

And that's really what would have happened with Scarlett Johansson. It would have damaged her career from overexposure and, uh, no matter how much compensation she got for it. Um, and I'm sure that they would not have given her some kind of a royalty every time the thing spoke, that would be, uh, un unworkable but i want to play for you um a little a little bit of the um trailer for this movie that came out 11 years ago it was called the congress and then we'll talk about what it was actually showing uh if i can find it on here it here it is. You had it all, Robin. Movie queen at 24. And you slammed all the open doors, crushed all the dreams.

Then Aaron's condition started going downhill. Eventually, you will be completely blind. This proposal won't be on the table again. Robin Wright for Jeff Green. You're the future, Robin. You're a princess bride. And now I'm in this situation. What situation are you in, Jeff?

The situation of offering you the last contract that you'll ever have. We want to scan you. All of you. Your body, your face, your emotions, your laughter, your tears. And we want to own this thing called Robin Wright. I have to take care of my son. Robin, things are changing quickly. We're entering a new age once we've scanned you there's no going back

welcome to the futurist congress okay so that's where it gets weird and that's where they lost me and that's why it's got very very low ratings i'm not recommending that you watch it gets weird. And that's where they lost me. And that's why it's got very, very low ratings. I'm not recommending that you watch it. The first part of it actually was really good. And in this review, 11 years ago, almost exactly 11 years ago, May 16th, 2013, what they said was in the Congress, Robin Wright plays herself in a trippy cautionary tale about where society is headed. And we're there today. Assuming that movie stars license their essence to studios and audiences abandon cinema in favor of chemical cocktails and allow them to experience life as their celebrity of choice, virtual reality.

So you can go in and you can not even that they're looking at movies where they have recreated this uh you know robin wright or any other actor uh but it's going to be an immersive virtual reality experience uh all of the stuff is coming together you would just be able to instead of being a furry or some fictional character like you could be a particular uh actor or actress this live tune live and cartoon hybrid ideal for midnight crowds and psychedelic enthusiasts but they didn't like it too much and neither did i they said the beginning of it would make a really good hour-long episode of the twilight zone and that was the part of the trailer that i showed you there after that it goes into um the production values were not very good in terms of the animated stuff

and they said the remainder of the film functions as a uh an adaptation in spirit only of stanislaw limbs the futurological congress that's why they called it the congress but it redirects the classic sci-fi novels, anti-communist satire without any humor. It takes all the humor out of his satire toward a society dominated by drug companies and Hollywood studios, two industries that make decidedly strange bedfellows, except not really, you know, they're pushing everything. And you've all Harari has said, it's his desire to make sure that we drop out, that we play video games, that we do drugs or anything to keep us away from reality.

Virtual reality, whatever, you know, to keep us in the, you know, locked in our room in a fantasy world. They'll do that. And of course, Hollywood will be a part of that as a hollywood is tied in with video games as it is now but i think also drugs and i think there's also a place there for them to bring in these personalities it'll be iconic and um you know it's already begun in terms of going in and mapping people's appearances and being able to get them to move and speak is only going to get much, much better in a very, very short period of time.

I think we're going to see that. And they talked about that 11 years ago. It seemed kind of strange, but they could see that that was where it was headed. You know, Brian Shulhavi talked about AI. He said, if you want to take a look at Boeing, he thinks that perhaps what is happening there is results of your faith in AI technology. He said, behold the results of your faith in AI technology,

the Boeing example of failure. Brian Chalhavi, Health Impact News. And he quotes one of the whistleblowers, the John Barnett who was found dead as a quality manager at Boeing. You're the last line of defense before a defect makes it out to the flying public. And I haven't seen a plane out of Charleston yet that I'd put my name on saying that it is safe and airworthy.

So Brian says so far, I've not found anybody investigating what I've investigated today, and that's why I'm going to report on it in this article. And that is the fact that while Boeing has an annual budget of $6.4 billion, with a B, for developing AI and technology, and that while it has invested in AI technology for over a decade now, not only are their planes not becoming safer and more advanced due to this newer technology, but they're becoming more dangerous and less advanced than older planes were before the rapid development of all this AI technology.

At the very least, we can say that all the billions that were spent on AI and technology by Boeing over the past decade plus have not made their planes safer. So even if it isn't the cause of these increased accidents, he said certainly it hasn't made them safer. So it's been money that's been wasted. And he said, just like we saw all these movements to make autonomous self-driving cars and how that was a lot of wasted money. Billions poured down the drain. And Brian Shulhavi has said for the longest time that he thinks that this is going to be a third wave of hopium about artificial intelligence,

that it's not going to fulfill the promises that it's made before. I don't know about that. I think that it'll be deceptive enough that people will buy into it. And I think that part of the deception is for us to think that it's about making things for us. It may be there to distract and to entertain, to mislead and misdirect us. It is not there to serve us. It is not there to serve us.

It is part of the serve state, the surveillance state. And I think that when we look at the impact one way or the other as to what it's having on, let's say Boeing, where they put, you know, six and a half billion dollars in. To me, I think the real issue of artificial intelligence as i said yesterday it's i'm not surprised to see sam altman and jeffrey hinton and these other people who are essentially the founding fathers of this um artificial intelligence stuff i'm not surprised to see them teaming it up with universal basic income and not just because for you know 15 or so years they've been talking about how they're going to replace people with artificial intelligence

and robotics and things like that not simply because as a pacification not not simply to pacify us with universal basic income but the fact that universal basic income is welfare which pacifies people and artificial intelligence is there in the same way to make us as i said yesterday eloy right uh to make us dependent on this centrally provided stuff so we can't do things for ourselves so we don't have to grow or build or repair things we rely on artificial intelligence. That has been one of the big negatives of technology all along. I mean, it's great to have these directions given to you, for example, to just take one example, have directions given to you,

but there is a price when we lose that ability to find our way, to be able to read maps. Well, we had for the love of the road who does trucks. He said, yeah, you asked what's going to happen if to trucking, if GPS goes down or actually it was freight waves who kind of asked that question. I said, do we still have any maps that are even current anymore in any place? And he goes, yeah, we do. And of course, you can always pick up the phone and and call somebody and ask them assuming that we got phone lines that are working if the gps is

not working but but nevertheless when when you look at and i've noticed it with myself you know i um especially uh they're in austin they have a very strange um strange patterns they got a lot of crisscrosses and flyovers and all that kind of stuff. And a lot of one way streets everywhere. That's kind of a unique thing that they do in Texas. One way streets that on either side of the interstate, most other places that I've lived, typically you only have one way streets. Around downtown, because when you get around the seat of government, uh, they want to start telling you which way you can drive even, you know, but, uh, two-way road but in texas so many one-way roads and it was really

difficult just to to go to an area that you don't typically travel to that you don't know and to try to find your way around even by dead reckoning i've talked earlier about the the trip i took with a bunch of high school students to go to Europe. And we were on a bus, and there was a woman who was kind of our guide. And she was always lost as to where the bus was and where we needed to go to get to this other thing. And everybody, high school kids, but, you know, we were driving cars for the most part in those days, even in high school. And we'd always say, she'd say, well, let's go over there. No, no, it's this way.

You know what? And she goes, ah, Americans always seem to know where to go. I'm always so confused because she was always just, you know, getting on public transportation and not thinking about where she was going. And we were used to driving our own cars. And now we're getting less that way with the the gps that is there and if you look and they talked about this uh significantly um uh about uh the effect uh that it has on us uh when this stuff this technology first started coming out they talked

about the london cab drivers they would have to do the knowledge and it's incredibly complicated the the roads in london have evolved over centuries and you'll go along and the road will be called one name for a few blocks and all of a sudden it changes to another name and then to another name and it's this hodgepodge of stuff and these people would ride around these these london cabbies would ride around on bicycles doing the knowledge, basically learning, building a map of London in their head and memorizing all these different street names and locations and getting that relationship there. And they could actually measure one part of the brain on these London cab drivers. It was highly developed because they were exercising it.

And by the same token, if you don't exercise your brain just like any muscle, it atrophies. And so that's one of the big things. These tools, as useful as they are, can lead to atrophy. And I see that coming in steroids with artificial intelligence. Beyond the waste of spending billions of dollars on technology that is mostly science fiction is the over reliance on this technology actually leading to decreased performance and safety that's primarily behind the cause for these failures at boeing he asks ask brian and i think that is true i think it's key thing is as a surveillance tool i think that when we look at

using it for art and science and things like that, it's going to make us weaker, not stronger. It's going to make us more dependent on this system that we don't control. And I really think that we need to think about that in the same way that the Amish, you know, why do they, why do they have horse and buggy stuff? And why do they build their buildings themselves the tools that are you know 150 200 years old or whatever it's because they want to have that self-sufficiency they don't want to be dependent on the outside world all of this technology just like universal basic income

is making us dependent on them now i see jason barker says he's going to be covering ai and the arts this weekend on nights of the storm so tune in there um more on the music side he said i've got two guests who are coming on well that'll be really good and that's my feeling about music as well of course right it's a very different way that you create music now with some of these um these new programs you would go in and you would type a description of what you would want to have for the music in the same way that instead of you know being directly involved in creating the artwork and some of these uh art programs like dolly and things like that you would type a description of what you want to have or uh the other one that did the movies,

was it Sora or Sura or something like that? Uh, again, you're typing a description about what you want to see. And, uh, so if you're really good at typing descriptions, if you're a novelist or something like that, you could type a very detailed paragraph, give you a very complex, interesting images and things, and you give it some general idea about how you want the camera moved and things like that but you don't actually uh do anything other than just describe what you want to see same thing is true of the music you're just kind of generally describing the styles and maybe the um uh the style of the music um and maybe the the um uh style of the singers and stuff like that,

a particular genre of music. I just don't find that to be very creative. I don't find it to be very satisfying. I mean, there's a whole spectrum there from learning an instrument, playing it live and playing with other human beings, and then from that you can move to a situation, which is what I do for the music on the show, where I get virtual musical instruments.

And you play those musical instruments, and you play them, all the parts in an ensemble or something. Or you can sit down and type in a paragraph and say, well, this is what I'd like to see. I just don't find that to be at all interesting, a way to do any of that stuff. And in each of these, there is, you know, you could argue that going from a situation where you're playing a single instrument to a situation where you are combining all these different instruments and playing each of them and putting them together, you know,

that's kind of like a, then that becomes like a musical arrangement type of thing. And there's some creativity involved in that. And also you're mixing the different sounds together to to get the sound that you want and bring out the lines that you want the instruments that you want uh so there's a lot more of a creative process it's a different process than playing the instrument yourself um you know live or with other people but it's still very much a music experiment experience. Whereas the, these new programs where you just type in what you want to see, I don't see that as music at all, but, um, you know, people will be able to use it to create

background stuff. And I think a lot of people who are getting, uh, pre-programmed background music to use for stuff, I think, um, it's going to be a real threat to the companies that would sell that kind of stuff we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back on rumble boondock 84 thank you for the tip i remember one-way aisles at the grocery store in 2020 yeah i'm afraid i do too uh etched forever in my memory uh i tell you what, those days. Well, let's talk a little bit about some of the issues facing us here in terms of privileges. You know, we've got some real privileged people out there. Now, that's a favorite term of the left.

And this article from LifeSite News says, Why the madness of preferred pronouns doesn't deserve to be tolerated well i think that we need to stop calling them preferred pronouns for the starts for starters okay um they have their preferences i've got my preferences my preferences don't matter so their pronouns are not simply preferred my other pronouns that I prefer are he and him or she and her. They don't care that that's what I want to use. So their constellation of all these different made-up pronouns and everything, those are privileged pronouns because they've got special privileges.

They have the privilege to tell me that I have to do what they prefer, and what I prefer doesn't matter. They are privileged. And I think we need to start calling them privileged pronouns, uh, as a direct challenge to these people on the left who are always privileged this and privilege that and racist this and racist that I'm sick of all that a life site news says, um, are you offended? Well, yeah, yeah me too and we can both live with it it's not so bad especially if we're expected to be diverse well they don't want diversity do they and they don't the equity is not equality either you can spare me the sign off of your signature that might go he slash him or she slash her or they slashed them i'm not familiar with all the jargon and i don't want to be i can think for that might go he slash him or she slash her or they slash them.

I'm not familiar with all the jargon and I don't want to be. I can think for myself. So again, they're going to push their preferences on us. But my preferences don't matter at all to them. This is a game of power. And it's a game of privilege. And they're the ones who have the privilege, they think. And we don't need to play that game with them.

How could an advanced, sophisticated culture, apparently devoted to science, be so unscientific? And how could we have ghouls who are mutilating children under the guise of a false compassion? That's right. Lockdown. That's a term of imprison false compassion. That's right. Lockdown. That's the term of imprisonment. And they began it in the schools for kids to condition them. They have planned this for so long. They chose their terms.

They accustomed us to their terms, and they gradually nudged us down that path. Well, they had lockdowns in schools, and they did every new idea. Lockdown. And a lot of these people had already gone through the whole school system. They knew exactly what to do. Oh, lockdown.

That means I don't go anywhere. They masked kids. They isolated kids. And they have the audacity to talk to us about socialization. Here's what one homeschooling dad had to say on social media. The almost common question you get asked as a homeschool parent is, what about socialization? And I got to tell you, it's a great question because it is almost impossible to do it the way the public school system does. I mean, every single time my kids leave the house to go to church or a sporting event or a festival or a parade or the theater or the movies, I got to them hey remember only associate with people roughly within your same age group and make sure you're only talking

when given permission or else you'll be punished i mean replicating that kind of model which takes place nowhere else in society it's tough that was always the question that's why you know we look at this abortion was always my body, my choice. And these people, no, you're going to have to wear a mask. No, you're going to have to get a vaccine. They don't care about your body and your choice. And abortion was never about your body. It's about somebody else.

But, you know, and then when you talk about socialization, oh, well, you've got to send your kids to school. I would always say, well, wait a minute. I've been in school. I know that we had to sit there and be quiet. I know that we had to do exactly as we were told. We had to defer to, um, you know, the teacher. I know that when I was in school, if somebody was, when I was in elementary school, somebody is a year older than you. Ooh, that's a big deal. Uh, if they're a couple of years younger than you, they're nothing, you know, that type of thing. And that, that rigid segregation by age. And, uh, so I knew the socialization stuff was nonsense. Just like I knew the, you know, that type of thing. And that, that rigid segregation by age. And so I knew the socialization stuff was nonsense.

Just like I knew the, my body, my choice stuff was nonsense. But then when we saw what happened with the medical martial law of Trump and Biden, uh, the fact that they would lock these kids down, that mask them, that isolate them, that bully them, bullying, bullying, we've got to have all the kids of different gender because of bullying. And yet, who is doing the bullying throughout all this stuff? So, yeah, we don't need to play that game. We understand it is a game.

It's a power game. And it's a lie. And if you use their pronouns that they demand that you use, then they'll find something else to push you around with. Now, you may decide that you will just plow ahead and do things on your own way, which is fine, but then, says this writer, so will I. If the politically correct sign-offs continue, expect a reply. And I want to also encourage those who are not mad

to begin their resistance by doing the same thing. It will help the mad people to return to their senses. And it truly is more compassionate than pandering to it. And so George Barna, who, uh, I've been, I had the pleasure of interviewing George Barna. I've, I've looked at his studies for a long time and, um, he's always, uh, looked at, um, worldviews and especially the Christian stuff. Where are Christians in this society?

What are they really thinking about? And he says, you know, we've reached a time of Christian invisibility, he calls it. And he said there's been a steady decrease in biblical worldview. We talk about worldview. In other words, how do you view the world? There's so many different worldviews. Everybody's got one. It may be a mixture of different religions.

It may be a mixture of religion and secularism or different political philosophies or whatever. But it is going to be how you view the world. And it will also contain things like what is right and what is wrong and things that you should do, things that you must do. These are all part of the worldview. I mean, just look at the reaction of all these people to that NFL kicker. They're showing their worldview. They're demanding that he conform to their worldview. And so he said, we've got a steady decrease in a biblical worldview and also a dwindling

concern for spiritual formation with Christians, because that's who he typically looks at. He typically asks people who identify, self-identify as Christians. He said, we're at a time of Christian invisibility in our culture. And so we could call it the Ichabod era, right? The spirit has departed. It's the same thing that, you know, when Hophni and Phinehas is, I forget which one of them's wife was pregnant and the ark was captured and, you know, they're killed in the battle. and then when the father hears it, he falls over backwards and he dies and she's dying in childbirth and she calls her child Ichabod,

which is the spirit has, the glory has departed, right? And really it has. It really has. We're at that kind of a juncture, I think. And how did we get there? Same way they did. By thumbing our nose at God

and rebelling against him. He said people have become more selfish. Churches have become less influential. Pastors have become less centered on the Bible. He said families have invested less of their time and energy in spiritual growth, particularly for their children.

The media now influences the church more than the church influences the media or the culture for that matter. The Christian body tends to get off track arguing about a lot of things that really don't matter. And I would say, like pronouns. I don't need to argue with these people. I'm not playing their game. And I don't need to argue with you about the reality that we're created male

and female. It's ridiculous. It's self-evident. It's a self-evident truth. It's also self-evident that you're playing a power game if you're trying to use your privileges to impose your pronouns on me. Now, they've got the force of the government backing them up. Just another reason for us to push back against that, I guess. To address these issues, Barna advocated for a radical return to biblical roots, but that, he said, might require rethinking

the modern church. He said that if we were to go back to the Bible, I think we'd recognize the local church, the institutional church, as we have created it, as man-made. It's not in the scriptures, the programs, the titles, the buildings, all the stuff that's become sacrosanct in American Christian culture and around the world is not necessarily biblical. He said Jesus didn't come to build institutions. He came to build people. He devoted the ministry of his portion of his life to investing in individuals,

and that's what each of us who are followers of Christ need to be doing. Do you want to build your children up? We should be looking at that, right? That should be your focus. Instead of focusing on programs and buildings, Barna, who is a father and grandfather, urged believers to invest in children that he sees as the future. This includes prioritizing spiritual education, modeling biblical principles, creating accountability

structures within the family. He said, we make huge mistake by simply using children as bait rather than as the primary focus of who we want to build up through whatever ministry impact or influence we can have what's he mean by that using them as bait i think what he means by that is having a whole bunch of children's programs so it's like you know bring your kids here we'll we'll entertain them we'll keep them happy i told the story before about how on my uh in-laws 50th anniversary they decided that they would have all of their kids and and spouses and um grandkids uh go with them on a disney cruise i've also talked about how i loathe cruises

this always gets karen angry about it but yeah i don't like being on cruises it was a disney cruise and we go in there and and um had my sons at the time they were young and um they wanted to put a bracelet on them uh travis really hated having that bracelet on at the time they were young and, um, they wanted to put a bracelet on them. Uh, Travis really hated having that bracelet on, but the reason they wanted to put a bracelet on them, uh, to, to track them was because the idea was that, uh, this Disney family cruise, we're going to turn our kids over to them so we can go do our own thing. And they couldn't believe it, that we weren't going to do that. Said, well, okay, you got some kids' activities. We'll come along.

We don't really, we're not really set up for the parents to accompany the kids. And I'm like, now we're going to definitely go because I find that to be really strange. But I guess we were the only parents who were there. None of the other parents wanted to accompany their kids to see what total strangers are going to be doing with them i mean they're disney employees they're perfectly safe

exactly i mean you would never do anything strange to your kids you know at that time i would have never thought you know this is uh the early 90s or mid 90s i would have never thought that there would be some guy as an evil queen uh but that's the way disney rolls now uh but uh yeah we're gonna go with them we're gonna watch what they're doing because it wasn't just that we didn't didn't trust them we just wanted to be with our kids and and you know see what they're doing have fun with them so we did the uh the um the races with the pieces of soap that we built and things like that anyway you know, see what they're doing, have fun with them. So we did the races with the pieces of soap that we built and things like that. Anyway, you know, but when you look at the church does that a lot, right? Just bring the kids in. We got all these programs.

Now you can go off and do your own thing. And parents are like, great, I don't have to bother with these kids anymore. If you have that kind of attitude, it's going to be bad for you, bad for the kids. You need to look at them not as the churches and institutions don't need to look at the kids as bait, like a Disney cruise or something. We've got all kinds of stuff to keep your kids happy and occupied. No, you need to look at them as something that you want to build. So we need to back up and we need to recognize that it starts with families.

Parents have the primary responsibility to raise their children to become spiritual champions. Local churches need to support parents in that endeavor. Our primary focus needs to be on children. It needs to be on growing their biblical worldview. If we do that, we'll be able to grow the 3% of adults who are disciples in America today to a larger proportion. He said, when I first got started, I was trying to figure out how I could add value to what was happening in the church across the country. He said, there didn't seem to be a lot of trend-oriented information relating to the depth of people's faith. So one trend that he says he's concerned about

is the potential negative impact of artificial intelligence. He said we're already seeing an impact on sermons across the country. He said, and it could be because the pastor wants to do a good job, or it could be simply because the pastor is lazy, but they're having AI help them to write a better sermon. See, it doesn't matter whether you are trying to do something better or you're just simply lazy. You're going to have the AI write the stuff for you, whether it's a sermon or whether it's a piece of music or whether it's a book uh and you're just you're losing your ability

and it's going to misdirect you into other things as well he says that the body of christ we're going to be suspicious of and careful about anything that ever labels itself artificial because that means fake doesn't it it's probably not good for our mental health. It's probably not good for our physical health or for our spiritual health. I just encourage genuine leaders to be very cautious about inviting any of that into our lives and particularly in how we're going to take that and then influence other people's lives.

He said, parents are the gatekeepers. They act like a leader. They take the lead. They make the tough choices. You know, it's interesting. I saw this thing that Candace Owen put it out. She was pushing, you know, we got to ban pornography. And it's like, okay, do you understand that every problem that is important doesn't need

to be solved by government? Is that something that we would expect that conservatives would understand? But they don't. You know, Candace, I'm not picking on Candace. She's typical. Everybody, if they look at it, as I've said many times, it used to be when I was a kid, you know, say, well, can I do this? Hey, it's a free country.

You don't hear anybody say that anymore. Instead, when you complain about something, you know, when I was a kid, people say, hey, don't make a federal case out of it. Now, everybody, including conservatives, want to make a federal case literally out of everything, including pornography. I don't support that. I don't support marijuana. But I know how alcohol and drug prohibition has not worked. our spiritual issues and our morality and other things like that to law enforcement or to artificial intelligence that's a foolish thing to do these things are too important to offload

to government to do because government never does a good job they never do the right thing why would we want them to be in charge of pornography when they're probably some of the most perverted people in the country up in Washington, D.C.? No, I think, you know, we need to think about people talk about carpe diem, you know, seize the day. Maybe what we need to think about is how we seize power. The power over our own life, over our own family, over our own decisions. What would that be? We got carpe dynamo or something. Carpe dynamo.

We can make like a Superman shirt with that or something. Carpe dynamo. I don't know. Something like that. That's where they got dynamite from. The path to a thriving Christian community lies in returning to core biblical principles, the empowerment of parents. We've got the power.

We just need to take it. You know, God has left that door open, even with all of the other doors to freedom shut. God has left that door open for us to do with our kids educationally as we wish. We have to take that power and use it. Thank you for joining us. Let me tell you, the David Knight Show you can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes.
