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. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

It's The David Knight Show. That's right, it's the 2nd of January, a new year, 2025. And today we're going to take a look at some terror attacks that have happened in the U.S. and around the world. And we're going to take a look at some predictions for this next year. We're also going to take a look at some of the false predictions. We got people out there like Baba Yaga that they drag out every year. So we're going to take a look at her record and we're going to take a look at the record of other doomsayers like Michael Mann and climate change and things they predicted with icebergs and all the rest of this stuff. But we're also going to take a look at what really

may be lining up, I think, war as well as bird flu. We'll be right back. Well, we have at least 15 people sadly killed on Bourbon Street, and we had at least 35 people injured. And as people look at what happened with it, some people have focused, because every time the government tells us something, our instinct, because we've been lied to so many times. And we know what they're capable of doing. We know what they've done in the past.

So every time something like this happens, people start looking at footage. And this particular footage, a lot of people said, well, this is kind of suspicious. Look, there's the truck right there. And the camera is zoomed in on the truck following the truck and you're going to see the truck go down through the traffic and everything that suddenly make a hard right turn around the police car and accelerate and watch this about to come up there it goes right about here it turns around and it accelerates very rapidly because this is a Ford EV, a lightning truck. There it goes right there. Well, you know, a lot of people said, oh, so they knew

about this guy and this is all set up in advance, right? Well, not necessarily, folks. That's the way these surveillance cameras operate. They can go back and focus in on whatever it is after the fact and if you've had anything like a lot of consumer cameras that do that same type of thing you see all of the gopros more recent models well even going back a few years they can take 360 degree pictures and you can go back after the fact and determine what you want to look at. All right. That's why you see these pictures of people that are doing a lot of athletic sports, whether it's skis or parachuting, things like that. And they can rotate that around and look at what they want to after the fact. And that's the way these things operate.

And so it appears to me, until I see any other evidence, it appears to be fairly straightforward. Questions about his motives arrive, though. He drove deliberately targeting people until he hit a crane at the end, got out shooting. He engaged three officers, engaged him, killed him, and he wounded two of them, sent them to the hospital. And there's pictures that you can see that are pretty clear of his dead body there. So it seems to be a fairly open and shut case except for his motives. And investigators don't believe that he was acting alone at this point.

They think he may have had help carrying it out. And so there's still some things that are up in the air, and the question is how are they going to use this? And there may be connections to what happened in Vegas. We'll get to that in a bit. ISIS has not taken credit for this, even though he had purportedly had rolled up, so it wouldn't draw attention. He had an ISIS flag, but he had it rolled up. The guy has an Islamic name, and he was a Muslim.

And it's not clear if he was a Muslim all of his life. It's not clear. They are very careful to note that he's a U.S. citizen. They always put that now. He was a U.S. citizen. Why did that come up? Well, because one of the earliest reports said this truck was seen going over the border from Mexico back in November. But it was a rental truck.

So it's been seen in a lot of different places. But when that report came out, Trump said, well, that's it. That's somebody coming across the border. Is it a cartel? Who is it that's coming across the border? It turns out that was not the case. This guy was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, which is about an hour away from Houston. He was living in Houston at the time. I could not find any evidence of anybody saying that his name had ever been changed. That appears to be his birth name, which makes me believe that he's a second generation Muslim. And of course, the people who knew him in middle school said he was just the nicest guy.

He was always, you know, whenever you post on social media, it was always about peace. You know, the religion of peace and uh and yet uh he appears to have been radicalized somewhere along the way he was in the military he was 42 years old he had been in the military a good deal of time he'd been deployed to afghanistan apparently in the clerical capacity he drove around the barricades up onto the sidewalk of bourbon street avoiding barriers had been placed by the police. He was trying to run over as many people as he could. Unfortunately, those barriers were not what they should have been.

They had had bollards installed on the street after an attack in 2017. And they had some issues with them, technical they said that they got mardi gras beads that got stuck in it like that so and they were not working very well so they had uninstalled them back in november and they were hoping to have them installed before the i think it's super bowl was coming up uh but um uh that's another story the uh he was declared dead at the scene two police officers hit by gunfire but they're in stable condition weapons and two potential improvised explosive devices or IEDs located in the vehicle at least one other IED was found in the French quarter and was detonated by law enforcement two sources familiar with the investigation said CBS News told CBS News that he was wearing body armor.

Evidently didn't do him any good or maybe they did. You know, that's that's one thing about the police. They've got the money to practice with their firearms because ammunition is getting really expensive. Maybe they got a headshot or something the investigators from the fbi homeland security and bomb squad have all been on the scene at an airbnb uh that was um only about a mile and a half from where this happened it was on fire and it got set on fire within an hour of this at least from they're still putting the timeline together but almost right away it was set on fire if he has accomplices that may have been to destroy evidence uh that's just my speculation

on here but i'm assuming that's what that was so what was this uh with these bollards that were there uh again it was a four-month replacement program that they're working on the city of new orleans had spent 40 million dollars on the bollards back in 2017 including retractable bollards that were on bourbon street designed specifically to prevent this seven years later the department of public works shut it down for four months to replace them with different ones they're typically're typically raised to protect pedestrians each day from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. because that's when it gets so crowded. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just crowded,

but people who were there, a lot of them, didn't realize what had happened because the music is so loud in these bars. They didn't hear all the commotion and the screaming that was happening with it a reported witness to the attack told cnn that the city didn't have the barricades in place in 2017 a drunk driver had plowed through a mardi gras crowd injuring two dozen people that predicated them putting these things up at that point in time it was just a drunk driver. It wasn't a malicious terror attack, as this apparently was.

Several improvised explosive devices consisting of nail-packaged pipe bombs concealed in coolers, each rigged to a remote detonator, were also found in the truck and stashed throughout the French Quarter nearby, they said. He had traveled to Egypt for 10 days in the summer of 2023 and he was living in a houston trailer park that was filled largely with muslim immigrants a mosque within walking distance of his home attended by most of his neighbors was cordoned off by police on wednesday and this is the type of thing we're seeing in Europe, Islamic neighborhoods. As a matter of fact, in Brussels, massive fires that were set had 60, 70 cars destroyed on New Year's there in a very, very dangerous neighborhood in Brussels. And so this is about the immigration stuff. And I honestly, you know'll it remains to be seen

but with his name uh it appears that um he might be a second generation muslim and this is really one of the you know they well u.s citizen american uh born and raised and all the rest of stuff but uh i've noticed that there's a disproportionately high numbers not usually the people that immediately come in it's usually their children who get angry at the society because they feel that they are entitled to better their parents come in they're typically poor they get a chip on their shoulder because of that. And I have seen over and over again, second generation radical Muslim immigrants are the most dangerous. He served 10 years in the U.S. Army until 2020, including a deployment to Afghanistan. However, when he carried out the attack, he was living in a squalid trailer park with sheep and goats in his yard.

He also went through two messy and costly divorces. The second one in 2022 left him broke, he said, in court filings. First one was in 2020. And in those divorce court filings, it showed that he was working for Deloitte and he was making $120,000 salary. And within two years, he's completely destitute and broke as gerald slinty has frequently said uh when people lose everything they lose it uh that may have been part of the triggering that happened with this and yet there appear to be other people that are involved before we get to that though they said one person who had known him from middle school until he went into the army so he'd been a long-term friend of his.

He said when they reconnected on Facebook several years later, he noticed that Jabbar's posts were all focused on Islam. He said it was always positive, though. It was always peace be with you. Uplifting type of stuff, he said. Another thing that he posted online that I saw was negative. Yeah, like I said, it's religion of peace. Peace be upon you.

So the early reports of the car coming across the Mexican border, not true. A U.S. citizen, but likely a second-generation Muslim migrant. The FBI says that three men and one woman were seen on New Orleans surveillance footage not connected to the terror attack. And yet they believe that there are other people who had set things up remotely. And again, part of that may be the Airbnb fire. That happened. up remotely and again part of that may be the airbnb file a fire that um that happened again the timeline is still not clear that's being reported as to when that fire began uh but um

one person who was there uh said that she got back from work in the early hours of the morning about 5 a.m less than two hours after the Bourbon Street attack unfolded. Some people said that it was one hour. When she got there after two hours, she said they already had firemen in the area. So some people said an hour. It might have been less than that. It might have taken a while for the fire to spread to the extent that they would have called the police. But that is all that we know at this point in time.

And when we come back, we're going to take a look at the other terror attacks, at the Cybertruck situation in Las Vegas, as well as things that were happening in other mostly peaceful communities of Muslimslims around the world uh ji1 says new orleans bourbon street cameras that roll live 24 7 were down just like the street barricades also our police chief worked for the fbi previously in the dei department uh he says um new orleans bourbon street cameras uh okay that's there twice um well yeah if you look at the police captains and the mayors and all the rest of them, they are definitely the DEI candidates. But, you know, that's kind of what you would expect in New Orleans. I did not know that the cameras were down.

At least one of them was not that was able to get that. But I guess the ones that were on the street itself, you see him driving down a street that is perpendicular to Bourbon Street and then turning down, and then all the Bourbon Street cameras are down. Well, that could be evidence that they were setting something up. We'll have to wait and see. It could also be evidence that the city is run by DEI people who don't know what they're doing one way or the other. Bloten says, I like the David Knight Show banner.

Thank you. Yeah, we had a lot of fun with that. That was something that was sort of put together. Star Barkley says he converted to Islam. Family said that he started acting crazy and erratic. Well, there you go. There you go. And there's different strains of Islam as well.

You know, maybe he converted to something that was more radical. But yeah, in 2023, he went to Egypt, is what we know. So we're going to take a quick break and we're going to enjoy a little bit more of Christmas music. That's not too seasonal here. We'll be right back.

First, I'm going to thedavidknightshow.com and purchase the Christmas Night Album. Then I'm going to listen to Christmas classics like... Are you going to throw a rug?

I want the Christmas Night Album too. Hey, that's pretty good. Buffalo girls, can't you come out tonight? Can't you come out tonight? Can't you come out tonight? Can't you come out tonight? David's Christmas Night album includes 21 instrumental Christmas melodies like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, and as all new, I'll Be Home for Christmas. What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.

I'll take it. Then what? And then I'll buy you your own download of David Knight's Christmas Night album. I'll let that run just a little bit longer. This week, it'll be the end of it. I put a lot of effort into that, so I'm going to get something out of it. Who knows? People have bought the album throughout the year.

Not that many, but it's about 1% of the people still listen to Christmas music, they say, on the streaming services year-round. But it is a large explosion during the season. Speaking of explosions, we have a tesla cyber truck exploded in front of trump's las vegas hotel looks like somebody may have been trying to send a message right uh killing one person the person in the car did not make it out that was kind of interesting and injuring seven others now when i saw this i thought okay are they blaming this on a terrorist attack or was this um you know the battery thing well we have uh pictures of this explosion camera footage there there it is

explodes explodes out of the back all at once and copy look at that you can see those are fireworks that's not a typical ev fire and here's what it looked like from cameras inside Trump Hotel. That also is not the sound that you usually hear during an EV, during a battery fire. They may have been counting on the electric vehicle car accelerating the fire and making it a bigger deal. But what they may not have been counting on is being able to get out of the car because the car is under software. The doors are kind of under software control. I have a friend who has a Tesla

and got stuck in his car once. Fortunately, he had his phone with him. He had to call tech support to get out of his car. So I'm guessing that that may be what happened to that person who uh you know wanted to do that attack there couldn't get out of the car uh but um as as they look at this uh elon musk is turning it into a pr event saying that if it had been any other truck it would have really damaged the trump hotel But it didn't even do anything to the glass doors that are there. The fire initially, they covered it with a tarp to try to get it to go out.

Once the fire went out through the suppression efforts of the fire department, you'll see some of the evidence in the back of the vehicle. So those are gasoline canisters. They are camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars. Fireworks and gas canisters there. But I also would like you to pay attention to on that video as you see that. It looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as it sits there the fact that this was a cyber truck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out in fact if you look on that

video you'll see that the front glass doors at the trump um Hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they were parked directly in front of. You can see that in the video there. Well, you know, part of that, again, it's an improvised explosive device, if ever there was one. Let's put some fireworks in it and some gasoline cans and some camping fuel and stuff like that. So part of it was it wasn't a real high quality explosive device. I looked at that and I thought, well, is that really what was it really it wasn't a real high quality uh explosive device i looked at that and i thought well is that really what was it really the strength of the cyber truck musk said wednesday we now have confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and or a bomb

in the bed of the rented cyber truck and that's what you saw on video unrelated to the vehicle itself all vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion. So, again, was it the truck that protected it or poor explosives? I think it was a bit of both because I looked it up and I was curious about that because, you know, a lot of claims being made. Well, a Cybertruck protected it. And it turns out that the Cybertruck, the panels on the bed, are 1.4 millimeters thick steel. On a typical car, a typical truck, it is 0.4 millimeters. So it's three and a half times thicker than the steel on a typical truck.

So there's that, right? So it did help to provide more containment than you would have with another vehicle. And actually, it's 1.4 on the panels in the back of the bed. The doors are even thicker. They're 1.8 millimeters of steel. So that's more than four times as thick as a typical truck door. They said, some of the witnesses said, the first one that we saw, we saw the fire. Second one, I guess, was the battery or something like that.

Third was a big one that smoked the entire area the moment that everybody was told to evacuate and to stay away. But as you can see, maybe they were counting on the battery fire, but it was something that came out of the back. SA Miller 123 said, I'm hearing both vehicles in New Orleans and Vegas were rented from the same company. That's right. It is, but it's a pretty large company that does the rentals. And Elon Musk mentioned that. Some other people mentioned that.

I don't know that that necessarily says that they are connected together. We'll have to wait and see whether that is the case. But, you know, it's kind of an online rental company. It's like Tura or something like that. I've seen it before. I've looked at it and they focus on more expensive, sometimes esoteric vehicles like sports cars. You know, I came across it because we were, when we were living in Texas, we were planning on going up to the Pacificific northwest and i was looking to see if i could rent a miata and um uh but and it's kind of like a car rental company that's kind of like an airbnb a lot of times individuals will put their own cars out there uh to be rented but it's also something that people do to rent exotic sports cars so again people are

bragging about the strength of the tesla but i think it's also the weakness of the of the bombs that were there going back to new orleans in terms of talking about bombs pipe bombs were found inside the car concealed within coolers and were wired for remote detonation two other bombs were found in the french quarter with one a pipe bomb with nails and plastic explosives hidden inside an ice chest the remote that controlled two of the bombs was found inside the suspect's tract along with two mason jars with explosives now by that i'm assuming that they just mean in his vicinity or you know the direction that he was going uh that's odd choice of words there within his track but i'm assuming that you know they're saying well it was connected now if that was connected with the one in in new orleans

i imagine that you know there's not anything at all about it being a remote detonator, that would have been a much better way of doing it than to do it while you're inside a truck that has electronic control of the doors. Just saying. But the people who do this are not necessarily smart when they do. They're absolutely and totally deranged people that are doing this but let's take a look at some of the terror elsewhere in the world fireworks in a lot of different places but also a lot of vehicular attacks that seems to be the choice now and it concerns me because you know i'm i always look at this and think how is the government going to use this

well they come in and say, well, you know, we just have too many vehicular attacks by these Muslims that we brought in, in massive numbers. And so we're going to have to make sure that nobody can control their car anymore. So from here on out, the cars will be self-driving. And if you've got an old car, you have to get a black box that's got a kill switch on it, or maybe something that we, instead of putting up bollards maybe we do a geofence and we say no car won't operate within this area already doing that because of so-called co2 emission stuff you never know how they're going to use this kind of stuff but and you never know really who is behind it although these two things seem to be improvised by individuals whether or not

they're connected we'll have to wait and see uh we always are skeptical about anything that the government tells us but um i'll go with the straightforward explanation until i see some other evidence and something may come up uh in new zealand we had a driver no word as to uh motive or who this person is no name released yet but after the new year celebration a small town of about 55 000 people right after new year's day celebration uh this person runs over uh two cops and um then uh well seriously injuring one killing another one and then driving the vehicle into a parked police car so this was not an accident it was deliberate the vehicle drove into the officers at speed as they were performing a routine patrol of parking lots they were just walking before the driver turned and rammed a police car, said the police commissioner.

One of the officers, a woman, died. The other was in serious condition, expected to make a full recovery. A third officer, who was in the rammed police car, received a concussion. And two members of the public were hurt. One of them, after coming to help the injured officers. So this is obviously an attack. So this is just two hours after the New Year celebration in a small town of 55,000 people. But they're not releasing any information about that as to what possible motives or even a name yet in brussels we had more new year's eve chaos

as we have seen there before in a heavily muslim migrant area of brussels more than 60 cars were torched during the night of chaos in brussels belgium, New Year's Eve in Brussels was a scene of acts of arson, wanton vandalism, and violence against emergency service personnel who show up to put out the fires. The firemen. The worst example of this type of thing, again, is going back to 2015,

in Cologne, Germany, where over 1,000 women were molested and raped by migrant gangs. No, New Year's. That's the way they wanted to celebrate, I guess. But going back to Brussels and what happened this New Year's, between 60 and 70 vehicles that were burned out, there were further 60 call-outs to respond to burning rubbish bins,

benches, bushes, and mattresses. Bring the people in, and we have to let them come in, or we're racist, right? And what they want to do is burn your country down. A very turbulent New Year's Eve, said the Brussels um brussels fire service there you go understatement several firefighters had bricks thrown at them said the fire chief and there were people that were fire that were firing horizontal fireworks and threw molotov cocktails wow that means horizontal fireworks it's something like roma candle that they're pointing at the people. The Belgian capital's emergency services received at least 588 call outs to deal with the chaos during the course of the night, while 64 people were detained for their role in the unrest.

The area is called Malenbeek. You may have heard of this before. You had two people were also stabbed on Christmas Day. It's widely known as Europe's Jihadi Central. And it was where the Paris Massacre terrorist Salah Abdel Salam was able to hide out for months before being caught. In 2022, it was revealed that Islamic names make up 43% of total new name registrations of births in brussels the most popular name for newborn babies is muhammad and its various spelling variations is one of the no go zones and so uh this is uh something that is not just limited to one or two areas. This is a pattern that we're seeing. But then the question is, how will it be used?

So Zero Hedge has an article here. A former CIA officer warns 1,000 al-Qaeda fighters are in the U.S. for the next homeland attack. This is a former CIA targeting officer, Sarah Adams. What is a targeting officer? That is somebody who identifies threats and suggests things to be done for it. She says that she no longer works for the CIA. I have found that is, I don't know that anybody ever leaves. It's like the mafia, you know, you don't ever really leave it.

They always keep you there on the string and so you keep that in mind when you hear what she has to say but of course the border has been left open we have done everything we can to create enemies abroad and then our border is absolutely unprotected uh from that as well and again i don't want to create some kind of a fortress at our border. Just as we talk about migration and people being able to go back and forth, I would like to be able to go to other countries as well. We'll talk about the new regulations

coming up for travel this year. I would like to be able to freely travel. And I can't do that if we don't allow other people to freely travel. But a big part that if we don't allow other people to freely travel but a big part of what the problem is is the welfare magnet and it's also the fact that you know when you look at these threats where there's a drug cartel what's the real issue there drug prohibition just like alcohol prohibition created al capone and all of these gangsters that were you know shooting each other in the streets in Chicago, famously, with fully automatic machine guns and all the rest of it.

That was created by alcohol prohibition. It was a government policy that created that. Turn it into Pottersville, if you will, right? It's those government policies. And so we have created those drug cartels. We have also created these different terrorist groups. And we continually provide them money. The Mujahideen, the Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, ISIS, all these organizations,

including the Syrian people that are acting just like Zelensky comes in. We're going to restore democracy to Syria. No elections for four years. So you have these organizations that we know have been materially given money and weapons by the U.S. government. But we've also created the blowback. Again, when you go back, if you know the history of Iran going back to the 1950s, not where it typically starts with Americans,

when the Shah left and the embassy captives were taken. That's not our history where Iran doesn't start there. It starts with a coup where we overthrew their government. And then when you look at what she's saying, which is, well, we got all these Al-Qaeda people, and we know that the Iranian, the Iran Republic Guard, the IRGC, whatever that stands for,

but their military organization, they're very angry because Trump assassinated Soleimani. So we do coups and assassinations. We create this kind of blowback. We leave our borders wide open. We create massive drug cartels. And now, you know, just imagine where Al Capone might have been if alcohol prohibition had gone for 50 years. How dangerous just the alcohol prohibition stuff would have been. So we create all these things, and yet our government does absolutely nothing to defend us. The best thing that they could do, rather than turning us into an armed fortress,

would be to stop these policies. The welfare magnet, the war on drugs, the intervention, the coups, and the assassinations that we have worldwide. That's really what should be done. But they're not going to do anything about that. And they're not going to do anything to protect us. You're on your own. So this former CIA officer says there's a thousand Al Qaeda here.

She says Al Qaeda says that they train and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al Qaeda members in the U.S. I think there's some Al Qaeda members in the u.s i think there's some al-qaeda members in langley uh in the cia you know uh you go back and you look at osama bin laden that they tried to he's tim osmond he was working for them right uh so you know it's uh i don't know cia is just an abbreviation for al-qaeda and mujahideen i guess um so the number is based on what al-qaeda is saying so they could exaggerate it however they did have about 1400 in the hamas attack so that number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks

well again now we are conflating hamas with al-qaeda she is so again just consider that she's a cia spokesperson and you can know, kind of take with a grain of salt what she has to prepare, what she has to say. But it's newsworthy in the sense that you have these CIA spokespersons going on to prepare us for this. Now, whether it's a real attack or whether it's a false flag attack, they'll use it the same way. they'll use it to escalate an attack with iran which they've been telling us that they want to have for several decades now right they've been talking about a war with iran for decades so will that be will they allow this to happen will they do it and blame it on the iranians either way it'll be an excuse for them

to escalate things with an iranian war that's the key thing and the fact that trump not only authorized an assassination but he also boasted about it um i i don't think that um that's the kind of thing that a legitimate government ought to be doing. But, of course, our government is not legitimate either. And so we look at the border and we look at the other gangs that are coming in. The Venezuelan gang is getting a lot of press now. And in early December, 20 members, as reported by Fox News, and, of course, they're going to build up the border situation. 20 members. And it up the border situation. 20

members, and it is a big situation. It is a problem. It's a real problem. It's a multi-dimensional problem. 20 members of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang attempted to force their way into the country at the border checkpoint near El Paso while armed with blades, broken

liquor bottles, and tire irons, according to a leaked Texas Department of Public Safety memo obtained by the New York Post. Another attempt to bust in the U.S. is expected on New Year's Day, they said. That did not happen. But considering the fact that you have gangs in Mexico that have pretty powerful military equipment, the fact that these guys are, not to minimize it, but they are not the same threat as the drug cartel people, blades, broken liquor bottles, and tire irons.

But, of course, we don't have anybody that's really doing anything on the border i guess maybe they were stopped who knows what they did the reported attack in el paso marks the latest iteration of violence caused by and i don't know how to pronounce this trend de aragua a gruesome migrant gang that originated in a venezuelan prison in 2013. And, you know, just like Castro did with the Mariel boat lift, and he dumped out the prisoners that he had, dangerous prisoners. That goes back several decades. Sent them to Florida.

That's what the Venezuelans are doing. The Texas Department of Public Safety director, perhaps that's why this this was leaked says that these gangsters are like cockroaches they multiply quickly small intrusions into communities become infestations if not aggressively pursued so it looks like there's a lot of things that are being set up you know we have um our open borders and all the rest of this stuff are are there as we've been saying for the longest time to have uh different ethnic groups fighting each other but also to bring in dangerous criminal elements and foreign enemies into our country and we're going to be seeing that escalate this next year without a a doubt. Nibiru 2029 says, it sounds like the Tesla driver was waiting for someone in the Trump Hotel

to come out so they could head for a New Year's party somewhere outside. There you go. So who knows? Maybe that was it. I don't know. But it certainly was a lot of garbage. It wasn't, again, but it, uh, certainly was a lot of, uh, a lot of garbage. It wasn't again, you know, that, that could have been a possibility considering the kinds of explosives that they had.

If they were really serious about it, they would have gotten something besides fireworks and gasoline canisters. Who knows? Uh, Jason Barker, can we do like the people who hate the second amendment and try to ban EVs? It's an assault truck with a high capacity battery you're absolutely right and that probably was why he he picked that uh that truck as people were saying you know he was um ramming uh people and other objects to the front of the car but of

course that doesn't impede its progress may cause it to catch on fire but it didn't in this particular case so the front was getting all smashed up as he was hitting people and other other objects um but um you know didn't uh didn't do anything to the uh to the radiator or the engine but uh probably wouldn't have done much to a regular car but yeah uh theresa andrea uh replies to jason says tend to agree with you there's no way the fireworks shown remaining would remain after such an explosion yeah who knows that that could have been a you know but the fact that it was parked at the the trump thing i don't know we'll see what happens with it guard goldsmith good to see you guard the government government agents have a financial assistant incentive to claim that there are threats and mcguffins everywhere

there's no real consumer responsiveness it's all political and nefarious that's right usually though you know when they arrange it as um as uh judge impolitano pointed out you know they usually will set up these terrorist events and with exception of things like 9-11, they will stop it before it happens to claim that they're doing their job and they're protecting us. Who knows what is going on with it? Time will tell. But when we come back, we're going to take a look at some of the predictions for this next year and some of

the predictions for last year and how did they work out you know we got from baba yaga to uh whatever her name is was that uh there was i always get her every time i see her name and everybody the mainstream media always picks up on this uh woman who was very poor, died in 1996, and wrote things in riddles. Oh, wow, she's just like Nostradamus. Yeah, and just like QAnon. And you can take whatever she says with a grain of salt because they always put it out there. We're going to take a look at some of the predictions of her, some of the predictions of the climate change people, and I've got my own predictions about bird flu.

So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Laudam minum et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Laudam minum et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. Et tot, tot, et. S.A. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same T-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better. And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the DavidKnightShow.com. And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.

I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. And they are, there's more headed, another six and a half billion dollars earmarked for that. Well, how should we describe him? It just never ends. And, you know, we thought, well thought well okay he's not another two billion no there's even more in the pipeline they're going out there trying to get as much money as they can out there uh you think anybody will ever investigate whether or not uh you know how biden is getting his kickbacks from this kind of stuff and just remember that this is a top priority for mike johnson as well and trump is supporting him well let's take

a look before we get to the predictions we're talking about people attacking others and the horror of what is going on regardless of who's behind this right and people were killed you had in new orleans you had 15 people killed, at least 35 others injured. That is horrific. How do people do this? Well, consider this story from New Year's Eve. A frantic hunt for an unknown abuser breaking baby's bones at a Virginia hospital after seven infants in the neonatal intensive care unit are found with fractures. What kind of a person does something like that?

Go around and breaking the legs of babies. A Virginia hospital has closed its neonatal intensive care unit after seven premature babies suffered mysterious injuries by an unknown abuser who remains on the loose. A couple had spoken out after an unidentified staff member fractured their newborn's leg during his time at the neonatal intensive care unit. Authorities opened a probe into the inexplicable fractures after four babies were injured in the summer of 2023. Dominique and Tori Hackney were one of the parents affected after they welcomed their twin boys. One of them was doing well until she noticed that his left leg was suddenly not moving. And she said it was kind of discolored. And I told the doctor on the staff, let's get some x-rays and he determined that he had a fracture to his leg so we're going to splint it for the next two weeks and then she was like do you want to hold

him they said well they didn't want to hold him because they were worried that the hospital would blame them for the injury she said in my mind i'm like i don't want them to turn it around on us and say we broke his leg or anything like that so it was like no we don't want to hold him which i don't want them to turn it around on us and say we broke his leg or anything like that so it was like no we don't want to hold him which i don't know i i would uh the baby is i don't know that's not my calculation well how am i gonna how's this gonna work out on a lawsuit my instinct would be to hold that baby but uh nevertheless it showed that his um tibia his shin bone had been fractured. And so she said, what they told us was it could have been done because an injection was given. An injection?

And maybe they did it too hard and it caused a fracture. She said that it concerned them, so they contacted Child Protective Services. And in September, we received a review of their investigation, which found that there was level one physical abuse of Noah, the worst level in Virginia. In October, then police informed the Hackneys that other babies had also been mysteriously injured at the Richmond Hospital. Authorities have not been able to figure out who is causing the injuries.

The hospital told the family that they had implemented preventative measures like cameras and the neonatal intensive care unit and more training. But then the hospital shut down its unit in October after the measures failed to prevent three more babies being injured in November and December. So at the very least, they're grossly incompetent. Whether or not there is malice, something is going on. A statement on the hospital's website says, well, while fractures occasionally happen with preterm babies, since they lack full fetal bone development, we're actively working to determine how these fractures occurred.

So think about this. If it was malicious, how shocking this is. But you know, these babies are preemies. And we got babies that are older than these preemies that are being killed. That are having their arms and legs not broken. But ripped off. And let the babies bleed out and die. That's being done at Planned Parenthood. And many different places.

So, and like I said, you know, you got Mike Johnson. He's not only not concerned about our border. He's not concerned about money or fiscal stuff. He wants to send more money to Ukraine, and he wants to keep sending money to Planned Parenthood. The self-professed Christian wants to keep funding Planned Parenthood. How in the world can the GOP not have stopped that? Wouldn't that be, you know, when you look at at this and you've got an intensive care unit where they allege that maybe somebody is deliberately breaking the bones of seven babies what about planned parenthood that the government is giving them money

and they are deliberately ripping these babies limb by limb apart when they can feel pain and literally murdering them. You know, when you allow this type of thing to happen to the weakest amongst us, is it any surprise that we have these types of events where people are driving vehicles through crowds? Yeah, I know there's other things that are happening with that. But just look at what happened with COVID, supposed COVID, and the bioweapon that was put out there. You know, abortion is the leading cause of death in 2024. Over 45 million people killed. Now, the people who are putting this together are not counting the deaths from COVID because that's a major cover up.

Right. Everybody is doing the best that they can to cover that up. And so they don't have that. But what they did was they compared it. Forget about COVID for the moment and how many tens of millions of people were killed with the Trump shot, and how many are perhaps contracted situations that are going to cause them to have an early death, either with turbo cancer or with heart disease or something like that. But if you look at other causes of death, like cancer, automobile accidents, you name it, it is one of the leading causes of death like cancer automobile accidents you name it it is one of the leading causes of death abortion and so um if you justify that in our society and you justify it in the name of choice don't be surprised when the people are justifying it in the name of choice

also tell you that you have no choice when it comes to a poison injection that's not been tested. And so, you know, when we look at what is ahead and we look at how the MAGA sycophants have excused what Trump did with COVID, I just understand that's likely going to come back and and we look at the the arrogance of the people who defend trump oh well you know he's uh he's never to blame you know those kinds of never trumpers and uh the fact that i'm just like tim pool said i'm so tired of hearing about what happened four years ago with covid and laura loomer says, if you took that, it's on you. Well, I think it's on the guy that you worship. I think it's on the guy that kept telling everybody that he saved millions of lives when he killed tens of millions of people globally. But look, you could say her argument was,

well, you should have known better. Well, if that's your attitude, then, of course, babies don't know any better. And if we're going to determine that that is the basis of personhood and of being able to survive in the society that people are legitimately able to do harm to you unless you do your due diligence that's not the standard either as of noon on december 31st 2024 there were 45.1 million abortions performed in the course of the year because you know those babies didn't know any better they should have should have done something this is coming from worldometer said 8.2 million people died from cancer 5 million from smoking I should have done something. This is coming from Worldometer. It said 8.2 million people died from cancer, 5 million from smoking,

1.7 million from AIDS, 1.35 million from traffic fatalities, 1.1 million from suicide, but 45 million from abortions. Totaling all the deaths in the world from the causes other than abortion reveals a figure of 62.5 million, meaning that abortions accounted for just over 42% of all human deaths in 2024. Globally, there were more deaths from abortion than all the deaths from cancer, malaria, AIDS, smoking, alcohol, traffic accidents, all combined, according to their statistics.

In the U..s abortion accounts for roughly a third of all annual deaths but more troubling still it makes up over 60 percent of african-american deaths in other words twice twice as high as the average the ongoing disparity of black deaths through abortion has led to one leading black pastor to decry the black genocide yeah do black lives matter well if they matter then uh you need to do something about the black genocide but they don't same people don't care it's the same as it is with the left talking about my body and my choice and then telling you that you don't have a choice when it comes to an experimental genetic code injection. 52% of all African-American pregnancies end in abortion.

And, of course, it was a black genocide from the very beginning. That's the way Margaret Sanger described it. And for the longest time, they would run from that and they would push back on that now they don't they don't anymore well you know we say happy new year all the time to people but what does it take to be happy what is happiness is it what happens to you you know we're wishing people the best in the new year hoping that nothing happens to them but we don't always have control over what happens to us do we uh so now there is a study uh about um uh what happiness truly is and science quote-unquote science is going to give us the answers as always it always seeks to give us the answers to things in life, but they just don't seem to be able to quite get there.

Well, it turns out that this guy begins his article. He says, well, it's all very well for the Dalai Lama to pronounce that, quote, the purpose of our lives is to be happy, unquote. But even he struggles to articulate how that is to happen. Is that really the purpose of our life? Boy, that's a, you know, that's not much of a consolation to people if that is, I don't know, is he Buddhist or something? If that's his perspective, that doesn't really offer much consolation because you don't know is he buddhist or something uh if that's his perspective that doesn't really offer much consolation because you don't have control over that the biggest

study of its kind is hoping to discover an answer that has eluded holy men philosophers and scientists alike the subjects will be asked to take part in a short happiness intervention which might involve taking exercise or engaging in social interactions. Oh, that'll make you happy, won't it? Good on social media. Boy, that's a really uplifting experience. Go argue with people. And whether these vary by age, income and geography well you know we've got the richest man in history not just in the world

now but in history elon musk has to medicate himself regularly with ketamine because he's depressed is he unhappy he certainly got unhappy about the h1b visa stuff didn't he on social media he should stay off of social media he'd be much happier uh but you could sell it to somebody um but no he's got all he's got his own social media site he's got uh massive amounts of money and yet he's depressed he's unhappy even somebody that has that much money isn't truly in control of all the circumstances. You know, there was on the Drudge Report, they showed the daughter of one of the Walton brothers and her $300 million yacht.

They were talking about all the stuff that was on there, and I thought, you know, I don't think that would make me happy. I think I would just have this burden of, you know, sometimes things like that can become like um you know like a ball and chain encumbering you with cares and worries about what is going to happen with that i don't envy her at all they said volunteers will be asked to perform activities which last no longer than 25 minutes because you know happiness is fleeting. It isn't going to last.

And can be conducted in home without specialist equipment. It is hoped that the research will shed new light on what, if anything, is guaranteed to provide us with a boost. Well, you know, a drug can provide provide you with a boost, can it? This is one of the reasons why people turn to drugs, because they're looking for fleeting happiness. They're looking for some kind of how they feel and pursuing that all the time. But anything that is temporary like that, anything that is dependent on things that you don't control, isn't going to get you there. You know, when Christians talk, they don't talk about happiness, even though we say Happy

New Year, you know, things like that. What they really wish for people is joy. And what is the difference between happiness and joy? When we talk about Christian joy, we speak of it as a gift from God, and it is something that's going to take you through the horrible things of life, the heartaches, the despair, the sorrow, the injustices that are there.

Joy is different. All of that destroys happiness. All of those things destroy happiness, but they don't destroy joy. That's what we're looking for. That's why we make that distinction between those things, because there is something from God that is a gift, that joy that we call it, that transcends all of those things. And you know, all of Musk's money, you can't buy it. It's free, but it's's a gift from god and it's not something that he is pursuing and to give you an example of this in nigeria we had um 14 christians including a one

year old girl and a pregnant woman killed after singing christmas carols at a service in Nigeria. Now, this was not something that was really unexpected. You know, are these people happy about it? I'm sure that they're not. Has it cost them their joy? That's the difference. The people who survived this have got a confident expectation of what eternally is going to happen to their relatives. And that's the difference.

And these people in Nigeria knew this type of thing was likely to happen. And they did it anyway. It doesn't make them responsible for it. They're not at all responsible for it. They're not at all responsible for it, but they understood the consequences of what they're doing. They understood that there was a likelihood that somebody would seek them out, and yet they did it anyway. Why? Because they understood and had confidence in what was going to happen to them even if they were killed. At least 14 Christians, including a one-year-old girl and a pregnant woman, killed in Plateau State, Nigeria, following a Christmas carol service.

The latest in a series of attacks against the Irigoyen tribe in the north-central region of the country. Yeah. Yeah. So, again, I know that the people that are there are very unhappy, but I think these Christians are not without joy. They are six and a half times more likely to die than the average person in Nigeria because there are Muslims that are targeting them for death.

Community surrounding the church is home to about 1,000 Christians. A local leader was quoted as saying that he had alerted the military personnel at a nearby checkpoint about unusual activities, but felt that his warnings were dismissed and ignored. And this is what we see all the time. The Fulani tribesmen, the radical Muslims that are there. The government is Muslim as well, and they look the other way. They don't do anything to stop them, and they don't do anything to stop the attacks if they're happening.

They just walk away. The attack resulted in the loss of entire families, and a mass burial was held. The Irigui people, a predominantly Christian group, have faced ongoing adversity, including violence and displacement by the Fulani militias, with more than 2,000 Christians killed since 2016, just out of that tribe. Between 2019 and 2023, more than 16,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria, not just in that tribe, but in all of Nigeria. And again, as I said, six and a half Christian deaths to every non-Christian death in that country. Well, there's a lot of evil in the world.

And again, that is why I say, when we talk about Happy New Year uh you know uh the christian hymn that i'm sure they might have been singing uh if it was um i don't know if they speak english or if they had a translation joy to the world right joy to the world not happiness to the world joy to the world uh aclu and elliot page meanwhile are telling children that transgenderism will lead you to happiness. Talk about breaking babies' legs, talking about tearing them apart. You know, if that doesn't happen to them, these people want to tear apart their genitals, mutilate them in the most horrific way.

You know, I am absolutely certain that in a few years people are going to look back at all of this mutilation of children in the same way that we look back on these frontal lobotomies that were done and of course it was done to one of the kennedy kids she had that done to her you know by her family uh it was sold by the medical community as something that would be okay. They didn't realize, I think. I don't think anybody would do that to their own child. Who knows? But I can't imagine anybody doing that to their own child unless they were given some really, really false medical advice about it.

You know, if you look at One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, that's what eventually happens to the protagonist there because he caused trouble. But I think that that horrendous practice is going to pale in comparison to these predatory practices being done on children. Elliot Page, who was formerly known as Ellen Page, now promising children happiness, happiness. Yeah. If they become transgender my message to my younger self would be just like you know who you are please embrace that she said in a video that's posted to social media by the aclu aclu that partners all the time with planned parenthood because planned parenthood has a new profit center in this. It's not just black genocide anymore. It's child mutilation.

Why, Speaker Johnson, are you funding this stuff? It's despicable that you would do this. Absolutely despicable. Trans people know who we are, and we should be free to embrace our authentic selves. Well, you know, she did this as an adult, but she's promoting this to children. She said she would tell her younger self to just keep going on the journey of embracing who you truly are,

and that's what's going to lead you to happiness. That's the message of Hollywood, isn isn't it you know this actress um message of hollywood is always to follow your heart except that your heart god says your heart is deceitfully wicked who can understand how bad that is and this is not the first time that she has promoted transgenderism to children as part of the massive gaslighting well before we take a break here i just want to talk about something that had an anniversary on new year's day and that is the song amazing grace the first time it was sung was at a service on New Year's Day. And John Stone Street has an op-ed piece.

He said, what better way to start the New Year's than to remind ourselves about how God is at work in his world and in our lives. That's what John Newton did in 1773. At the very end of December 1772, John Newton would preach on the text of 1 Chronicles 17, verses 16 and 17. That passage was David's response to God after Nathan had informed him that his descendants would be enthroned forever as kings of Israel. David, once the poor shepherd boy, the man who had repented of adultery and murder, responded to the news by saying, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family that you have brought me thus far? Stone Street said those words struck a deep chord in the heart of John Newton. In those last days of 1772, he found himself running out of empty pages in his journal,

a bound book of 300 pages, holding 16 years' worth of entries. His mind was drawn to the pages of his past, the story of his life from his days as an unregenerate slave trader to becoming a child of God. Newton would have remembered when his rebellious spirit got him thrown off of numerous ships, publicly flogged, and ousted from His Majesty's Navy. He would have remembered the shipwrecks and the mutinies and then the transformation of his heart by the power of the gospel. As was his habit, Newton set to work composing a hymn

to illustrate his New Year's Day sermon. In that hymn, he would tell his poor congregation, composed of lacemakers and low-paid artisans, he would tell them about the dangers and snares that he had faced and he would reflect on the amazing grace that had saved a wretch like him. Those Those now famous words. First son.

1773. New Year's Day. They lingered in obscurity for many years, even as Newton counseled the young William Wilberforce and encouraged him to stay the course in his long battle against the slave trade. The words to Amazing Grace were rarely sung in England, but the hymn, later published by Newton, caught on in the Americas. The words of Amazing Grace would surface again 80 years later

in a book that would change the course of the nation, Uncle Tom's Cabin. In it, the slave, Tom tom at his lowest point sings the words he says it's rarely this verse is rarely sung today it says and when this mortal life shall fail and flesh and sense shall cease i shall possess within the veil a life of joy and peace. This is the hope that we have in God. Even when we face deep injustice, this is the hope

that the people in Nigeria had that the scientists and that Elon Musk will never understand. We're going to take a quick break, and then we'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, we'll go back and take a look at some of these comments here. North American House Hip-Hop, thank you for the tip. He writes, I live near Lockheed Martin's missile plant in Orlando. Going to buy some of that swag of yours and drop it off there so I can go on the next shipment of missiles.

They have some explaining to do with them i guess he says hospitals have security cameras i guess they're all broken as well yeah um and we have audi modern retro radio good to see you he says they're literally bringing terrorists to u.s soil to justify turning americans into a war. And remember, Biden authorized the Department of Defense to use deadly force on Americans. That's right. Well, you know, as part of this, and that really, I think, is at the heart of the H-1B visa discussion.

As I said before, I don't think that that issue is fundamentally about the Constitution, or it's about market economics, or about liberty, or any of these others. That is an issue about the constitution it's about market economics or about liberty or any of these other that is an issue about the great replacement and as i said i think it was tuesday monday or tuesday uh when you look at that they're bringing in people and of course dr shiva said the same thing and i read his comments as well that next step is, and they're already working on that step, getting rid of humans and replacing us with robots, right? In so many different ways. And it's not just robots that are going to be doing physical tasks.

The easiest ones to replace, and they've known this for a very long time. that I first talked about a study coming out of South Korea saying that by 2030, about half of the jobs would be taken by robots and things like that, and self-driving cars, they believed. But the estimate was even higher for white-collar jobs, for doctors, for lawyers, for accountants, and that type of thing. We can see that happening as well with the chat GPT stuff.

And so they want to, yeah, they might be bringing in people to work at mid-level and entry-level accounting positions because it's save on labor. And, of course, Elon Musk, and I didn't talk about this, I didn't make the connection. Some people made the connection after i talked about it on tuesday but um as i said when we left texas i didn't realize that elon musk was setting up uh you know he'd set up tesla there in uh the area but just down the road from us where we were living he set up a boring as well as spacex, and people were getting really angry about it. I didn't see anything about it.

I was busy with the show, and I wasn't even driving much anymore in the area, so I didn't realize that construction was going on. It's just a couple miles away from where we lived and in the other direction from where I would typically go. But people were getting upset with him because he was dumping stuff with impunity into the Colorado River there, and he didn't care. And so they gave him fines, and he didn't care. And so I start saying, well, maybe we need to raise the fines. It's like, you're not going to get the fines high enough that you could ever have an effect on him. He doesn't care about any of that stuff. And he also didn't care about the fines that he was getting from the Department of Transportation because he was doing road cuts that they didn't want him to do.

So he doesn't have to abide by the rules that the rest of us do. But when we were moving, Karen was looking for people that wanted to get rid of moving boxes, and she found some people that had a bunch of them. They were really nice moving boxes. They had been moved from the Midwest. Was it Iowa or something? I think it was yeah um

and um he'd worked for john deere for a couple of decades he was they were in their 50s and uh musk and tesla had moved them to the area paid for the move and they had all these boxes that they um you know it's easier for to just hand them off to somebody than for them to tear them down and take them to the dump. And so Karen talked to them a bit, and then we found out that, well, they're going to have massive layoffs that happened, I guess, within about a year of that. And we thought, wow, I wonder if that was them. I wonder if they worked for decades for John Deere, got moved to the area to work for Elon Musk and then get abandoned.

And they were having a hard time adjusting to the climate in Texas from where they lived. It had been very, very cold. And the heat was difficult for them to adjust to. But I don't know if they were one of the people that got laid off, but Musk laid off about 2,200 people. And then he turned around and got in 2,200 H-1B visas to replace them. Because you don't matter to these people. The only thing that matters to them is their money. And his money is not making him happy.

He's very depressed. But the bottom line is it's not about fairness or free markets or constitution or anything like that. This is about the great replacement. And this is about making sure they bring in people, they save as much money as they can, but they also are going to have a situation once they replace everybody with chat GPT or with a robot or a self-driving car. Now you've got all these different cultural groups that are going to start fighting each other. That's the bottom line. It's the great replacement.

That's what this is about. That's what the H-1B visa is about. It's not about economics. It's not about the rule of law. It's about the great replacement. And it's the same type of thing that they did with outsourcing manufacturing.ourcing manufacturing and now they big time outsourced it with the paris climate accord um bronx stomper 111 get ready to hear about raids in kentucky they just started legal cannabis and the atf put out a reminder that if you partake

then no guns for you oh there you go they just make this stuff up and i guess they can do that because you know trump helped him with that precedent yeah we're just going to have executive branch and you know we're not even going to have the congress defy the constitution i will let the bureaucrats do it now it was bad enough when it was congress defying the constitution and the courts supporting him but now we've got the bureaucracy doing that and trump set that precedent bump stocks and everything so now they can just say yeah well here's a new rule we came up with it unelected unaccountable naburu 2029 the baby leg breaking story is 100 more important than a hyped up con at Trump's hotel.

I think it is. And I think these things, you know, when we look at, you know, what is happening in our society, you know, when we can allow, you know, when we have a society that produces that kind of attitude. And that attitude is just pervasive. Whether you're talking about abortion or you're talking about people's informed consent that we saw trampled on in 2020, that is very important. A Syrian girl said, happiness is real fleeting if sociopaths and psychopaths are making themselves happy around you and your loved ones. Yeah, that is what gives them happiness, isn't it? But it is fleeting, you know, just like their life is.

One day that is going to end for them. DG8, thank you for the tip. He said, David, the Trump cult will blame illegal immigrants for this as they promote H-1B visa program. I'm convinced this is a cult. Trump could bring James Carville in and Minnieson would call it 3d chess absolutely true absolutely true uh and he's brought in people that are probably worse than james carvel people like lucky lutnik and the rest of these people they have the money and the machiavellian schemes i mean james carvel just wants to get political power he just won't get in the office there

you know but these people have got real designs on you and your life uh beyond just his own personal ambitions birdhouse blues uh the roundtable report says has david sent in his rsvp yet for our facebook sweetheart mark zuckerberg's 40th birthday party on his new 300 million dollar 287 foot super yacht that was one of the things so he's got a 300 million dollar yacht too those are the things in this article for the uh walmart heiress and you know you think about that um one of the walton guys was famous for driving an old beat beat up pickup truck i mean he didn't even want a new car or a nice car. I mean, just, and then his, you know, they build this business. For him, it was all about building the business.

You know, that was what gave him pleasure. He wasn't really interested in spending it, I think. And then his daughters inherit the money. And, you know, again, that's one of the reasons why money, you can't take it with you. So they get the money and they're doing things like buying $300 million yachts. That's their entire life now. But one of the parts of the story that they were bragging about, she bought it from an Arab sheik and he had areas of the yacht that were off limits to women.

And so the main reason they were writing this story about the yacht was because a woman bought the yacht after the yacht had been closed off to women by this arab so this is a victory for diversity and affirmative action and women's rights that's the thing was put out there and it's's like, she didn't earn that money, but that was a really strange take on it. But that was their angle. That was their angle. Look at that.

Boy, she showed that era, I guess, you know. SA Miller123, I was sporting my new sand-colored David Knight show hoodie yesterday. It's comfy and fits well. I love the design. Thank you very much. I appreciate that thank you for supporting us um well we're going to take a quick break and we come back we are

going to take a look at some of the top new year's resolutions for 2025 as well as some predictions from people who some of them don't have the best track record at all We'll be right back. ¶¶ Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon you're listening to the david knight show well let's take a look at some people's new year's resolutions the majority of americans i guess we have a study they're always doing these studies uh what is the top new year's resolution for 2025 well they said about one in five u.s adults are committing to financial goals of some sort and if you combine it though people who have health goals are much higher you have a 21 say say they want to make more money or save more money, I should say. And then you've got 19% want to eat healthier. Another 17% want to exercise more. Another 15% want to lose weight. So there you go. You've got, you combine those three

in terms of health. That is really high. But 43% of the people say they're not going to make a resolution. I guess they didn't quit smoking or whatever, so they're going to quit with a resolution instead of quitting smoking or whatever it was that they wanted to quit. But, you know, we look at money, and of course, that's not going to make you happy, but that's going to make you really unhappy. So you don't want to go into debt uh tony is going to be joining us and we'll be talking about the

government debt i think the government debt is going to make us really unhappy um we don't have any control over that another six and a half billion to ukraine from uh from biden of course and then there's some other things that aren't going to make us too happy in this new year new travel requirements will be coming in in 2025 ramping this stuff up for domestic and for international destination see that's my resolution can i get on a plane again ever domestic or international because they're hassling people more and more with a real ID and putting out the facial identification and biometrics, all these other places as well. But Homeland Security will enforce the use of real ID in May of this year at airports and at some federal facilities. Of course, you can also use your passport if you've got it, I think. But the

bottom line is, it is a trend when you look at these things that are coming in this year. A lot of everything is about ID. Not everything, but a lot of stuff is about it, certainly when it comes to traveling. If you want to get into the UK, they've got a new electronic travel authorization program. And that's going to happen January the 8th. So less than a week away. They are going to have you report to them so they can do a complete investigation on you before you come into the country. See, this is why I'm not so big on all this border stuff with Trump. Yes, there's issues, but maybe it would be better if we didn't create these gangs with our war on drugs. And maybe it'd be better if we didn't create terrorists with our coups and our assassinations and things like that. Maybe it'd be better if we didn't have welfare programs.

But when you put that kind of stuff in and their solution is to create a police and surveillance state. And this is what is happening. Oh, great. We're going to screen visitors before they arrive. And we got to do that because look, look at all the violence that is happening with the people that they brought in. You see, it's always problem solution. We're being manipulated. They call this the ETA.

And it's not estimated time of arrival. It's the electronic travel authorization. They call this the ETA, and it's not estimated time of arrival. It's the electronic travel authorization. It'll cost you $13 for them to investigate you. It is not a visa, and it does not replace any existing visa requirements to get into the UK. Americans traveling to the UK on or after January the 8th can apply through the UK government's official website or use their app. It is valid for only two years, but you can use it for multiple entries, but only for two years.

Europe has their own. It's called the European Union's European Travel Information and Authorization. It doesn't roll off the tongue like ETA. It is expected to take effect in May. Wait a minute. It's almost like there's a, it's like the COVID thing, isn't it? We're going to start pushing everybody for real ID for domestic travel in May of 2025. And the EU is going to do the same type of thing, foreign and domestic, in May of 2025. Wow.

Isn't it funny how these things, coincidences that happen you know uh we're gonna do this next thing you know um in uh two months today we're going we told you that we're going to do this with the covet stuff right they do it and then they say well in two months we're going to roll out this next thing it doesn't matter whether it's trump or trudeau or whether it's Macron or whether it's Boris Johnson they're all on the same page and here they are with the travel restrictions there and all going to be taking place in May the other thing before we bring on Tony do we have Tony yet um we're going to bring on Tony but I want to say one more thing about new laws taking effect. And in Tennessee, for example, and not just Tennessee, but many other states.

Protecting Children from Social Media Act will require social media companies to verify the age of an individual who attempts to become an account holder at the time the individual attempts to become an account holder. Another law set to take place this year aims to protect minors on the Internet. The Protect Tennessee Minors Act, which requires websites contain, quote, a substantial portion of material harmful to minors. They would have to perform, quote, reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material. This is what we've seen everywhere. The Republican states coming in and saying, well, we've got to protect kids. The government has to be the parent. The government has to be the nanny.

Parents can't take the responsibility and say, well, I think you're too young to be on the Internet. I think you're too young to be on the internet. I think you're too young to have a cell phone. I think that if you're going to use the computer, we need to control how you're going to use it. No, no, no, we can't do that. Instead, we've got to have ID for everybody. We've got to have ID for the adults, you see. Just like we've got people coming in and taking jobs, so now we've got to have mandatory e-verify. So the Republicans in Florida, along with DeSantis. So we've got to have mandatory e-verify to make sure that you can have a job. And the federal government will tell you that.

Now, at some point in the future, it's not just going to be citizenship requirement, but it's going to be that you're a good citizen in terms of not questioning the government so that you can have a job. But they're rolling in digital ID, whether it's travel, whether it's getting on the internet, and many other things. And of course, Mitt Romney came out and said, yeah, I think we've got to get rid of all anonymity on the internet. Same thing you saw Jordanordan peterson and other people saying there is no there apparently

is no champion with any of these people who are making the laws or putting out opinion pieces there doesn't seem to be any champions out there for free speech or for privacy or for liberty for that matter of anything we're going to take a quick break and we're going to have tony arteman join us it's been a while since we've talked since we've talked to tony anxious to talk to him see what he's been up to what he thinks about the markets where we are where they're headed we'll be right back that's right boys and girls there's a post-election sale on silver and gold trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold. It's time to buy some metals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense. Go to DavidKnight.gold

to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn. He knows where to look to find silver and gold! Yuck! Fiat! Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back and of course i heard the bells on Christmas Day. That was written during the Civil War. I was saying, wait a minute, what is all this about peace on Earth? Well, it wasn't about that kind of peace. It definitely wasn't about that.

But joining us now after Tony has had some peace, peace and quiet for a little bit of time. He took some time off for the holidays. Good to have you on, Tony. How was your holidays? Oh, it's fantastic, David. Yeah, it's great to see you again. It's good to be back. I took a little bit of time off and traveled a little bit and just, again, absorbing all this stuff. Going into 2025, I knew it was going to be turbulent.

Just, I felt like that going into 2020. And a lot of times the history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes and we're starting it off with a bang, it looks like. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And we were talking about laughing about the fact that the Treasury got hacked. I talked about this, I guess, on Tuesday. I said, it's only fair since they hacked our financial system that they would get hacked. But, of course, we don't know that it was a Chinese. As I said, because of Vault 7, what we do know is that it is impossible for them to know who hacked them. It could have been any state actor that could have made it look like the Chinese, if in fact they did that.

Or it could be any individuals. It could be any criminals who wanted to do that. So we don't know. So they've obviously got an agenda to say that it was the Chinese who did it. And, of course, that's the other thing that's worrying about 2025, and that is a war with China. That's right. And I mean, if it was the Chinese, jokes on them, because we've already done the damage to our financial system ourselves. We don't need their help.

It's kind of like the scene on Dumb and Dumber when they open the briefcase and it's full of IOUs, and they say, those are IOUs, those are better than money. And that's pretty much what our treasury's done. I never saw that movie. I had to see that scene. That was great. So how do you look at the next year here when we look at gold and Bitcoin? I mean, last time we talked, Bitcoin was up at record highs and everything.

It's now dropped down. Gold has dropped down somewhat. Of course, a lot of that's going to be year-end profit-taking. What do you see happening as we move forward? Well, that's exactly right. On Bitcoin, I think it's year-end profit-taking. And right now, the whales's exactly right on Bitcoin. I think it's year-end profit-taking. And right now, the whales are still accumulating Bitcoin. I see a drive in price. I don't know,

some of the Bitcoin maximalists, you know, they call for some wild predictions, you know, million-dollar Bitcoin in the next year and a half. I really don't see that. But I do see a continual trend upward as far as the dollar is concerned. And that's because we have a weaker dollar. I mean, the dollar is going to continue to lose purchasing power. And I know this because Trump's calling for the removal of the debt ceiling, $36 trillion in debt. That only increases about every hundred days. You see another addition of about a trillion. So the dollar is going to have to be weakened in order to inflate their way out of all the fiscal damage that's been done over many decades. And that's, again, all accelerating. Same thing with gold. Gold's going to continue against the dollar, will continue to rise in price.

But these are all things that I think, you know, we step back every week and we talk about this. It's not necessarily gold is the best investment on earth or something. It's just money against something that is fake. Gold is always going to retain some sort of value. And we talk about that just relative to what it was purchasing power 100 years ago. I mean, gold buys the same amount of land, crude oil, clothing and groceries that it did relative to, you know, again, price of inflation or, you know, any statistical anomaly, gold is going to buy about the same amount of product that it did 100 years ago. And looking at the markets and everything that we're seeing now, there's no reason to think that we're going to get fiscally

responsible. Even if you bring in something like the Doge thing with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, you're still going to see, even if they are able to lay off people and cut government spending, it's going to cause damage to the GDP. We are reliant on debt. We are reliant on the creation of cheap fiat currency to maintain this system. That system, and that's the fatal flaw in the fiat currency system and the central banking system, is in order to do anything, you have to create more currency. You know, that is the truth. If you really boil it down, because we have a central bank, the way it works, if you were ever to try to pay off the debt, you would have to create more currency to do it.

That's the snake eating its own tail that was, you know, the Federal Reserve itself. So we're not going to get out of that trap. And that's why I think things that are finite, gold, silver, Bitcoin, against our modern, you know, fiat currency monetary system are always going to be doing well. Yeah. Yeah.

As a matter of fact, Trump doesn't believe that Doge is going to work, does he? He wouldn't be so adamant and angry about getting the debt ceiling raised for another two years if he thought Doge was going to do anything. He knows it's not going to do anything. They've had commission after commission go out and make recommendations.

And of course, Congress won't act on it. So yeah, it isn't going to really make any difference with that. Well, you were, I guess the last week or so, I talked about the fact that there was an article saying that for every dollar that the government spends, it takes $5 out of the GDP in many cases. But I'm sorry, for taxes, I should say. For every dollar in taxes, it takes $5 out of the GDP. But it said for every bureaucrat job, that one bureaucrat destroys 38 jobs with regulations. That's right.

And so that's a – Makes a lot of sense. Yeah, yeah. That was an interesting study that was done by a university, and I think it was Mises that put that out there. But when we talk about inflation, just a little story here. We – Karen and I watched Brigadoon, and because we'd never seen this version. I hated – I was in middle school.

I was in the pit band that did it. So I liked the music and I had some fond memories of it. We had a little bit of time with the holiday. And so we watched a TV production of it that was done by Robert Goulet that really focused more on the music than on the sets and things like that they did. And so I thought, well, that was pretty good. And I thought in the very end of it, it was the whole thing was sponsored by armstrong they said well you can pick up this album for one dollar at the armstrong store and i thought i wonder if anybody's got that album and i found it on the internet and it only cost four dollars and i said i wonder how

much that one dollar in 1966 would be well of course you know they use these inflation calculators use the government's calculations so it's it's under reported but it said that that one dollar album would cost ten dollars today 995 and whistler said well look at that look at all the money you saved just by waiting for 60 years but that's the whole reason we get gold isn't it because gold appreciates some of those periods of time because the dollar is depreciating against it it's still staying the same it's just that the fiat currency is disappearing that's right i mean gold and silver hold their value they are money and that's why you won't find the word investment on any of my websites i don't call it that it's not that's not what it is it's a a representation. It's a storage of energy, work, and time

that maintains its value. And it has pretty much for the last 5,000 years in the modern economy, certainly. I mean, we've gone out to the gold standard in 1971. And that's what I track. I mean, all these numbers or these metrics, I don't even think they're real. I mean, look at the price of silver.

I don't think the price of silver should be what it is today. I think it should be much higher, just given the fact of the deficits in silver that are in the 200 million ounces a year that were short and have to take from the above ground supply. The gold silver ratio is completely off. Historically, we're way off the mark for that. So I watch all kinds of things like that, David, that lead me to continue to be bullish on whatever that means for pricing on gold and silver. But the world's moving away from the dollar. That's certainly going to change all of our perceptions of what the dollar means and what our financial situation is here in the United States. That's going to continue to

be precarious. It's going to be up in the air because the world's dumping it and it's dumping it rapidly. I mean, I saw a metric the other day. It was like world usage of the dollar in foreign reserves was 73 percent or so in 2001. And it's under 55 percent today and dwindling. And of course, the second most held reserve asset in the world, after Basel III a few years ago, back in 2021, the Bank of International Settlements made gold a Tier 1 asset on the books instead of a Tier 3. And so that's basically on par with currency. And it's now supplanted the euro. So it used to be the dollar and then the euro and world reserve currency assets, and now it's the dollar and gold. And I've said many

times already this last few months that I think gold's already taken the dollar as the world's reserve currency, given what BRICS is trying to do. It's not that BRICS is trying to create a different currency. It's just cross-border payment systems and ways for them to trade based on something backed by gold. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, you've talked about this many times about Gerald Ford making gold legal. Did you realize that it was 50 years ago on New Year's Eve? That was when he made that declaration. He rescinded the executive order of FDR, and he made that declaration he rescinded the executive order of fdr and he made gold legal for american citizens holding any amount i think i had always thought that it was a prohibition of americans holding gold but he prohibited them having more than a hundred dollars worth of gold

at a time and so he got rid of that with his executive order which again is another thing we see trump all the time saying he can't do this or can't do that. And he asked the Supreme Court if he can get rid of the executive orders from the previous president. No, you can't do that. But of course you can. But that was 50 years ago that that happened. I made a post about that, just sort of meditating on that on New Year's Eve.

And I thought, you know, I feel like I'm in the right place at the right time. All the things that I study in my wheelhouse and things that interest me. And I realized just the historical significance of the time that we're in. You got to remember the average lifespan of a fiat currency is 26 years. So we've doubled that. And now we're on the edge, I think the knife's edge of a real change when it comes to the financial system and i mean i saw something the other day corporate debt david is eight trillion wow corporate debt eight trillion there's this all these metrics that are showing us that all these things are unsustainable because you know every time we get into a problem especially in the last 20 or 30 years they just decided we'll inflate our way out of this yeah And whether it's too big to fail in jail or just, you know, unnecessary, unconstitutional

wars, you know, the welfare state, the entrenched deep state, whatever the programs and things they need to fund, the $2.3 trillion that Donald Rumsfeld couldn't find on September 10th, 2001, all these things come back to the fake currency. And so we're going to see, I think, just continual bad policy from the federal government and emanating from all central banks around the world. That's why I'm looking at what money used to be. And I think history will treat us pretty kindly. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, look at that. I don't know when Nixon resigned and Gerald Ford took over, but that was pretty close to the beginning of it. I mean, you know, he got resigned right after that and with a couple of months. And then Gerald Ford made gold illegal.

And that's right. FDR didn't necessarily make it illegal for you to own gold. It was like you said, $100 worth. And I think there was some things left over for collectibles. There's obviously dentists and jewelers. But he made it to where you couldn't use gold as your primary metric of savings. That's the way they wanted to make sure that you could say they called it anti hoarding, which is an interesting word. They didn't want you to be able to use it for your wealth.

Yeah. Yeah. Wow. You know, it is interesting as we see the passing of Jimmy Carter to think about the fact that we look at his record that he had compared to Gerald Ford, who is not. I'm not a big Ford supporter, but I tell you what, compared to Jimmy Carter, it truly was amazing. Not going to see Carter do something like this. But, you know, you mentioned the fact that, you know, gold is not an investment, right?

It is a store of value or whatever. But when we look at Bitcoin,aron day has talked about it roger vera's talked about it the fact they wanted to get back to the original uh design of bitcoin the big hope i think of all the people who are long-term bitcoin supporters has been that it's going to be a reserve currency now we're hearing from people that in spite of what trump was hinting and RFK Jr. were hinting that that's not going to happen. They said it might happen first in some smaller nations, but it's going to take a while for that to happen. What is your opinion about that,

about whether or not it'll be a reserve and how is that going to affect, you know, everybody's looking at the deregulation aspect of it, but that was also a part of the calculation i think of people uh getting into bitcoin as well what is your take on where that's going to go in the next year yeah i was in nashville listening to rfk jr and then following that trump spoke of course rfk jr much more specific much more bullish i think much more savvy on how bitcoin works and what it means and trump just uh was convinced and of course was reading off a script um and you can tell that when he came across the gdp uh being surpassed by uh from bitcoin to silver you know he thought it's just kind of a surprise wow it really passed the gdp passed the pass the market cap of silver uh i should read my speeches before i give them

yeah it was uh so i i think that that is up in the air um it would set off a chain reaction there's going to be and here's here's the tell i thought was interesting i'm glad you brought that up i watched this is between the time i've been on again jerome powell was asked about that totally dismissive um he's like that's not in the purview of the our charter the federal reserve we have nothing to do with that um it's not something that we deal with it's not you know outlined in anything that we do just any and he took a while before he answered he took a pause i think it was like three or four seconds maybe five seconds just sit there and look at the guy so So there's a, don't get, you know, get dramatic effect, really, you know, dramatic effect. And it was just like, we just,

they just look down on this and it's like, Oh, it's a phenomenon. You know, something that's in the way it's a speed bump. We got it. We didn't really figure out how to get rid of this thing yet. So I think that the powers that be, especially the central banksters, and don't forget who runs this country. Don't forget who runs things. You know, you can see the powers that be, especially the central banksters, and don't forget who runs this country. Don't forget who runs things. You know, you can see the people out front, but they're not really in charge. It's the people behind the scenes.

And that's the way history works, ladies and gentlemen. There's always power brokers behind the scenes. And especially in a world of central banking control and fiat currency, it's even worse because you can hide and cover up so much. There doesn't have to be, you know, fiscal debates anymore in this country. We don't really have that. We're going to. That will be the future, but it's not right now. So I think that the opposition of Bitcoin coming from central banksters is going to be very strong.

It'll filter into our politics. And, you know, we saw that through the first Trump administration. That's why I didn't get excited about this one. And I'm not people want me to have selective amnesia and forget that there was a 2017 through 2021. I remember those years and I remember the promises that were made and weren't kept. And I remember the fiscal house that was set on fire. You know, again, Wilbur ross everybody remember wilbur ross and who he was and uh you know was it was he commerce secretary is that who he was uh david

i mean he came in yeah and he was a ross child's agent he's what bill trump in the 90s and now we got lucky lutnik is going to be the commerce secretary who is all about tokenization and securitization right right? Right. Yeah. There will be some crypto moves in the Trump administration, and I've said that. I think, though, but we're starting to see, especially with the H-1B visas and all this stuff, they're going to walk back a lot of the America First stuff.

They're going to walk back a lot of the promises made. It's the way that politics work. You know, what is it, the H.L the hl mankins it's an advanced auction on stolen goods or something like that what an election is so now i but i think in the long term uh bitcoin has its place it's probably far too um far too long out of its inception to put it back i mean it can't go anywhere there will be smaller nation states to do something but the united states still may put it on some sort of balance sheet or anything. But there's there's a lot of momentum in Congress and for that. And there's a political, I think, political will to do something with Bitcoin. So

we'll see. I just try to keep that out of my focus for what what I think Bitcoin is. And I think, you know, it's whether it's you know, I said last year at the beginning of the year, hey, really watch Bitcoin because, you know, it was picked up by the ETFs a you know i i said last year at the beginning of the year hey really watch bitcoin because you know it was picked up by the etfs you know uh larry fink blackrock were pushing and i thought well that's a huge departure are you guys paying attention i think bitcoin was like 29 000 and i was saying this is and i started buying it on a daily for for my company's reserves so you know that was a good decision um because here we are you know um year later and it's already surpassed at one time 108 000 it's down to 98 000 when i checked spot before

the broadcast so i think that'll be a trend that continues but it's not gonna i don't think we're unless something huge happens it's not gonna go parabolic like we're gonna see half a million dollar bitcoin in the next you know uh eight months or something i think they will continue the pump though you know before they do the dump just make sure that you're not their exit strategy you know when when this stuff happens but i think they're going to continue to pump it because on the other side of this stuff you've got lutnik and you know tether and stable coins and securitization and tokenization all these other things that's really what they're working on the side they got everybody looking at at Bitcoin, and they're using Bitcoin, I think,

to get people excited about digital money and about the blockchain and stuff like that while they do something very nefarious on the side with this stuff and kind of come in as a de facto CBDC. Now, the Bank of International Settlements is talking about the fact they're going to continue on with their CBDC. But I think that the way that's going to roll out in the US, UK, the five eyes that already said, you know, a couple of months ago, they said, well, we're not going to do anything called CBDC, but they will do the functions of CBDC, I think. And I think part of what is happening with the Bitcoin and the deregulation around cryptocurrency is to pave the way for that de facto CBDC that's going to be like a public-private partnership.

And people like Larry Lutnick are going to make a lot of money off of this. And many people in the Trump administration are connected to that. That's what I'm looking at. So I'm still looking at gold as a hedge against that type of stuff gold's going to be more steady the volatility of crypto and and bitcoin itself is much more of a high-risk asset and i'm in it you know and i'm gonna have wise wolf bitcoins about to launch that'll be a new program that we have within the next 45 days making a lot of progress there. It's going to be great for those that want to trade some of their crypto Bitcoin and turn it into gold and silver. I made an announcement on

Tinfoil Hat that we're going to be the first no fee broker in America. If you want to turn your Bitcoin into gold or silver, you can get with us directly and there's no fee. There's no other gold and silver company that does that. And we're going to be able to do that because we're going to make a symbiotic relationship between the two so i i am a an advocate of bitcoin however i don't get on these hype trains i think that's a dangerous thing to promise people what the price is going to be because i do agree with you that they can pump and dump especially when they've got the etfs now and the inflows they get the price really you know when because most this the sad part about investing is that what i've watched is that when the price starts to go up really go up on anything that's when people jump in they don't they fear of missing out they got to get in there and they want to ride the wave at the top

it's for the wrong time to get in and you got to look at things when you know and again use use your own research and your own uh you know background and things that you find viable and if you want to get into something you know that needs to be a personal choice but that's what's going to happen when the thing implodes that's when they always come in with the regulation you know it's problem reaction solution and that's what i fear with the CBDC. However, the mixed bag on that, the double edge of the sword is that Bitcoin created a culture, which I've found fast. I've been in Bitcoin for, you know, since 2016. The fascinating part about Bitcoin is that the people around it, especially the podcasters and the young folks, they really, you know, they're skeptical of

central banking. They don't like, they talk about fiat currency. So selling them on a CBDC because they use Bitcoin is a moot. It's not going to work. They don't like CBDC. And I think it's, you know, something that we should be, I feel thankful for is the fact that the term CBDC now is dangerous. And it wasn't three years ago. That's right. But you and I've been it wasn't three years ago that's right but we you and i've been talking about it for years i mean long before anybody knew what it was i mean the first broadcast i ever did with you we were talking about world currency and i think it was like uh the end of 28 and 19 going into 2020 so yeah we've come a long way with that they got to rebrand a lot of it but the danger lies in the volatility of the markets themselves, what goes on with crypto, especially these stable coins.

We don't really know. I trust Bitcoin's network, but I don't trust the people that are trying to hijack it. And that's the thing that we've got to differentiate on. And again, look at the damage that they can do with something. It's independent of the asset itself. Look at what they did to real estate when they came up with the derivatives. And so you got Larry Fink who's saying, well, it doesn't really matter to what I'm doing, whether it's Trump or Biden. It doesn't really matter what I'm doing because I'm doing derivatives, you know, and I can manipulate the

market in really sinister ways. And so I think that's the key thing. And you're right. Everybody has caught on to the term CBDC. So I've said, you know, we need to focus on what the characteristics of CBDC that are negative were and try to get because you've got all these legislatures now that are starting to several different states have got pending legislation to ban CBDC. But it's not just that. It's the privacy. it's having a digital id it's having programmability where you can manipulate it it's those types of things that need to be banned not the term cbdc they'll call it something else and they'll come at it from a different angle and that's what i think is really concerning especially because with trump everybody just shuts down and says well that's okay we're fine we don't. We don't need to buy guns. We don't need to buy gold.

He's got it covered. We're all doing great now because we've got a Republican in and even better, we got Trump in. So everybody just lulled to sleep with all of this stuff. It's the dangerous part of our politics now that's so tribal is that when we perceive a win, you just lay down your arms and figure out it's, you know, it's done and we're good and I'm going to go to sleep for four years. And then you wake up to a lockdown and then there's President Fauci. That's the problem with those kind of politics. And that's why I told you, you know, we had the right before the election, we had that interview together. And I said, look, you know, one of two ways, you know, if there's a uh win and gold and silver will take a hit bitcoin will

go up and the opposite if there's a harris win so that's what we're seeing there's a lot of profit taking it into the year but going at the fundamentals what drove the price of gold uh the last few years what has been that well it's it's the decline de-dollarization the supremacy of the dollar is waning the american empire is in trouble. The geopolitical tensions are heating up and central banks are buying gold because they're going to remonetize their debt. They're going to reset. They call it a great reset. Matter of fact, this is halftime show for the decade of the reset, folks. And this is what we're watching.

The powers that be, the davos set they've already decided the future you're just playing catch-up we're all just playing catch-up looking at uh what's happening with our currency system which again massive change is going to happen because of the damage done and gold and silver bitcoin these things were holder value i believe going into the next five years and uh you you know, when we look at it, the economic unrest, you know, one of the things that kicked all this stuff off and in many different ways and not just the massive spending. And who was it that gave us a steeper curve on the spending and on the debt? You know, then it was Trump. And of course, it was Biden kept up that pace. But he's the one who escalated it very rapidly. And now we've got something that I think

is going to be a real economic bomb that he's ready to throw in. And that's going to be the tariff stuff. Because in a sense, what he's doing is he's weaponizing the U.S.'s position. You know, well, we got the we got the petrodollar, so let's use that as a weapon. And now Trump is saying, well, we're buying so much stuff. Let's use that as a weapon. When you start doing this, it's going to create all kinds of secondary and tertiary effects. It's going to just be a big bomb in the global economy. I played a clip from China that I couldn't believe the other day, Tony. And it was a lot of people taking independent people in China, taking videos and posting

them up of how empty the trains going into Beijing were, how empty the streets were, how nobody was shopping or buying anything, how the stores and the malls were empty and the restaurants. And it truly was amazing because that was one of the things when we were there, just a sea of people everywhere you would go, especially in the retail areas. Everything was a ghost town. And so if you're going to throw tariffs into that, you're going to create a real bomb of a financial system. And then everything is up for grabs. Now they're going, that's their crisis. And they're going to come up with all kinds of radical solutions if they create a radical crisis.

And I think the trigger for that may be the tariffs. That's just the way I'm seeing it. Yes, sadly, I believe you're right, David, because I've always been a fan of tariffs. I believe that's what the country was built on. I believe in economic nationalism, but there has to be a coherent policy. Ever since we gave away America's manufacturing, and make no mistake, it was given away. It was literally the pawning of America's soul, as Pat Buchanan said. He wrote a book in the late 90s called The Great Betrayal.

That's exactly what it was it was given away through free trade programs that the corporations were given a back door exit and said hey you can take your factories and moving them over to mexico or moving them to china and we'll just let you in uh you know without without a tax completely free you can get away with lower wages no environmental environmental regulations. You don't have to fight the good fight here. And it really backs up what Thomas Jefferson said about merchants have no country. They don't fight for lower taxes or fight for the American way or prosperity here. What's good for GM is good for America used to be the slogan. That makes no sense anymore as we're in a global economy. And so I think it's become a consumer nation. Even Paul Volcker said

that. He was former head of the Federal Reserve. He said, what's wrong with the, you know, they was being interviewed in Congress in the early 80s. And so what's the problem with the U.S. economy? So we'll be, we become a consumption economy, not a production economy. And what Trump's talking about, well, first of all, he wants two things that are diametrically opposed. He wants a weaker dollar, and then he wants to have high tariffs. Well, that doesn't work. I mean, you have to have a strong dollar in a production economy. If you want to build that, that's economic nationalism.

But you can't say, well, we've got to have massive amounts of debt. We're going to print our way out of this. We're going to have massive liquidity, a roaring stock market, all that stuff. And at the same time, we're going to charge you 100% tariff if you don't use the dollar to help us continue our Ponzi scheme, because that's what it is. It's using the dollar after 1971 is making sure that we don't have fiscal Armageddon. Because if it's not backed by anything, then you have to continue to use it through something called money velocity in order to. It's like Tinkerbell. If you don't clap, Tinkerbell dies. Right.

The same thing with currency and the problem with Trump's. That's just an incoherent, schizophrenic economic policy to say that we want a weaker dollar, but we want high tariffs that, you know, Buchanan wrote a book that I read. And it was one of the inspirations to get me to to get back into politics or I get into politics in general and actually go run for office and start a radio show. It's called Suicide of a Superpower. And the subtitle of that book was Can America Survive to 2025 and it was written in 2011 and i was reading that at the end of 2011 around this same time you know the christmas uh new year season and one of the chapters in there was about the federal reserve and it talked about how the federal reserve was was responsible for the great depression and the smoot holly act were framed smoot and holly were framed it was the actual because that's smoot and hollyawley's the tariffs of the Great Depression that were so high. You know, you see that famous

scene from Ferris Bueller, yeah, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where Ben Stein is blaming Smoot-Hawley. Anyone, anyone? Anyone, right? Bueller. That's exactly right. And so, but that's, just think about that. Take a step back for a second and think about how incoherent we've become. I didn't think we'd be talking about tariffs in my lifetime. I didn't think that I was just I thought I was a rogue, you know, America first or before. That was a term that was acceptable to use again back in 2013. But now that doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, these are just these aren't this economic nationalism. That's weaponization of the dollar by other means yeah well i mean just look at what trump did you

know we're a consumer economy we've given away our manufacturing and we aren't going to get it back as long as we've got the paris climate accord in because it's going to be too expensive for us to manufacture anything here regardless of all the rest of the stuff the slave labor the the piracy uh you you name it that's the thing that is going is the determining thing and trump pretended that we're in the paris climate accord and all the republicans pretended that we're in it and there was never a vote on that as a treaty and so you know when you look at that you know that they're not going to address the problems uh guard's got a comment guard goldsmith he says i like the idea of directly turning crypto into gold or silver

then moving to siberia well that's coming up pretty soon you'll be able to go different directions there i like that strategy it's just a you can see as you know sarah palin can see it from her backyard guard let's get up get over there to alaska it's right there or greenland right uh greenland that's on this it's on his wish list he wants a greenland and canada so it's this is crazy anyway it's going to be a crazy year isn't it uh and it is going to be interesting and you say you're going to roll that out of course are you waiting for them to change some of the egregious regulations around crypto and everything before you jump into it are Are you preparing to do it?

No, I'm just going full steam ahead. It's always, if you're waiting for them, that famous meme of the skeleton sitting at the desk, I don't think I'm waiting. I'm just complying with, we've got a great compliance officer and people that we've already put on retainer. It's just taking me forever. Projects don't take me like they used

to david it seems like it's everything's in slow motion on one side and then moving fast on the other i don't know if it's just me or or what it's just longer is it age okay thank you i just turned 45 so i'm like what's right it only gets worse okay thanks i'll be looking forward to that um but yeah we're working on that we've got uh Wisewolf Bitcoin is about to launch. You'll be able to do the same thing like you did with Wolfpack. We'll put it up on like automatics. It'll be for white glove service for people that want to own some Bitcoin or diversify, but not, you know, deal with Coinbase or some be it a fake, you know, a faceless thing that, you know, I've had trouble with those networks by the way yeah um they're not the you know if you're trusting them it's a little bit of rolling the dice um so with me you won't have to do that and we will have a a pretty symbiotic network between the precious metals and and crypto and i say crypto i mean bitcoin i i'm really not into any other coins uh we might be able to help you do that but it's that's not going to be our primary focus it'll just be bitcoin to gold and silver and vice versa if you want to sell some silver

and buy some bitcoin we'll be able to help you do that that's that's really what we're adding and it'll be a coherent you know network integrated to what we do well that's great yeah it is um you know the chinese curse is coming up in 2025 may you live in interesting times i think this is going to be a very very interesting year i uh i expect to be fully venerated in terms of what i said about trump because it's already i've already been venerated as we look at this they haven't even made it through the through the wedding yet you know usually you got a wedding and you got a honeymoon well they're already having spats uh before the wedding even takes place so forget about a honeymoon always great to have you on, Tony. And you've got a program that is following up right after this.

Yes, sir. Just after this, 11 a.m. Central Time, 12 Eastern, the Arterburn Radio Transmission, every week on Thursdays following my interview with you. So come join us. We'll be on Rumble, on the America Unplugged channel, Rockfin, America Unplugged, and my Twitter at Tony Arterburn follows there well it's great

to have you back always good to talk to you uh and uh again uh you can go david knight gold take you to tony and uh you know he's always got these innovative programs like he's talking about doing with bitcoin and um you know the the uh wise wolf package i thought was great. I like the slogan that you got. Jason sent me some as a gift off of Wolfpack. And in that, it had – it's the first time I had seen this. Maybe it's been on some of the other stuff. Your slogan about – was it Bulls and Bears? In a world of bulls and bears, be the wolf.

That's right. Be the wolf. I like that. and you got some merchandise that's coming up as well yeah we got i got my new shirts on i gotta i've got to do better i i'm the word i plug terribly these days but i've got new t-shirts out we got hoodies we got uh stuff for the my radio show and paratrooper my podcast all sorts of shirts and even arterburn dot gold i have my own logo for that. So if you like, DM me if you'd like, and we can start putting you on the list.

We're going to launch that on the store within the month. It'll be launching live and by all kinds of things. I like that, paratroother, because you're a paratrooper. Well, you are a trooper anyway, and we always appreciate having you on. Great talking to you, and we'll say have a joyful New Year. How about that? We'll make it a little bit different. Okay, folks, we'll be right back.

Stay with us. That's right, boys and girls. There's a post-election sale on silver and gold. Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold. It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense. Go to DavidKnight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn. He knows where to look to find silver and gold. I'm a super super hero Wow! York! Be out! ¶¶ you're listening to the david knight show well welcome back and uh some comments here uh

audi modern retro, he says, The new world order agenda includes the fall of America as a superpower, and we're witnessing phase one of the build back better in real time. That's right. We're going to talk about predictions, and you guys are pretty good at predicting, aren't you? You can kind of see the handwriting on the wall. Angry Tiger says,

Banks have a liquidity crisis, and there's already legislation for banks to deal in crypto. Yeah, and that's a real change, isn't it? You know, we had some of those banks that we had, like three banks that failed. Remember that? And one of them was Solvent. They paid everybody 100%, but they were basically shut down by the Biden administration because they were dealing in crypto. They didn't want that to happen. And so that has been a real sea change between these two different administrations.

And that's one of the ways that they can create chaos is to whipsaw people back and forth between one policy and the other. Bloden says Trump touts Bitcoin because they paid him bigly 12 june 1776 dollar is priced at a dollar and nine sir in the global market not seen that for three years the world is buying dollars and a part of that is um uh just it's based on expectations right a lot of this stuff is based on expectations and um again um i have a little bit different expectations than a lot of these other people about what's going to happen with trump and the rest of them angry tiger also says i have friends in china china is devastated right now because the downtick of consumerism in the western nations even if we brought manufacturing back, there's no one to buy our goods. It's over.

Well, that is really the concerning thing, isn't it? Are we on the cusp of a depression? And, of course, that is something that could be in the cards. As every one of these fourth turnings, the economics is a key part of it. It's always there. And usually it is so big that it creates a war. And of course, the last fourth turning that we had was a Great Depression and World War II. That would kick that off. So it is, like I said, it's going to be very interesting. And in the

face of all of this, as you just pointed out, Angry Tiger, as bad as things are in China, Trump is going to throw tariffs in there. It's going to be like a Molotov cocktail. And what's going to happen? We've created a global economy, and now we're just going to throw tariffs in there it's going to be like a molotov cocktail and what's going to happen we've created a global economy and now we're just going to you know knock the board over all at once that's the key uh is to create that kind of chaos um collie collie most says when the banks get involved bitcoin will be etf which will cause fractional reserves like the dollar, meaning fake Bitcoin reserves will be inflated and not real. Absolutely true. And, of course, that began, what was it, a year or two ago when they started getting into the ETFs and getting into it in a big way. And that's one of the reasons why Larry Fink, I think, said it didn't matter to him whether it was going to be Trump or Lala.

And they're able to manipulate this stuff with ETFs. And you can already see that with paper gold and paper silver, how they don't follow the spot prices of gold. It makes it easy for them to counterfeit it. And so by them pulling in Bitcoin into these funds and the banks pulling this in and creating these ETFs as a way for them to counterfeit Bitcoin. They don't have to actually hold it. Nobody's going to go in and audit them, I don't think, any more than they go in and audit the gold and silver that's there. Let's get back as we're making predictions as to what's going to happen next year. Again, I see this every year. Everybody talks about Baba Vanga.

And again, I always get her name confused. There's a piece by Mussorgsky, pictures at an exhibition. And there's a piano piece initially, and then it was orchestrated by Ravel. And I always think of Baba Yaga, and I think I called her that. Which is some Eastern European legendary monster or something. But Baba Vanga is her name. Baba Vanga, dude. Sounds like she's with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Terrifying predictions for 2025.

They have this story written every year. It's the same story. Some more terrifying predictions from Baba. It's funny. That's what my daughter called me when we adopted her in china she called me baba uh baba vanga died in 1996 uh part of her mystique i think was the fact that she was blind and um you know she's uh blind but she sees the future supposedly a bulgarian healer they said already been credited with foreseeing some of history's You know, she's blind, but she sees the future, supposedly. A Bulgarian healer, they said, already been credited with foreseeing some of history's most pivotal events, including the tragic death of Princess Diana. Well, she died about a year before Princess Diana did.

Does it take a great deal of foresight to see that the way that she was cuckolding um prince charles that uh something was going to happen to her uh i mean you just kind of uh you know something might be in the works of that and also the 9-11 attacks and we'll talk about what people you know she she she speaks in riddles like q anon and like um and like these other people that are out there. And so we'll tell you what she actually said about 9-11. She didn't actually predict it. And she didn't tell us who did it or how they did it either. And, of course, the escalating climate crisis. LOL.

This is why they come back to her, I guess. Because she's always about storms and this and that and how this is going to be catastrophic so that's a very useful thing for her before her death she wrote her predictions up to the year 5079 earning her the nickname the balkan nostradamus and again just like nostradamus just likeAnon, they speak in riddles. So people can add their interpretations as they wish. Some interpretations or predictions have been disputed. She has a dedicated following of fans, however, especially in the mainstream media.

But again, these are interpretations of what she supposedly predicted. So what did she predicted for 2025? She said that in 2025, we're going to finally encounter aliens from space, that mind reading will become a reality. Well, Elon Musk is working on that one with his brain computer interface and multiple natural disasters. She predicts that every year because that's a pretty safe bet. She says that immortality will become within reach in 2025, anticipates that lab grown organs will become feasible. Well, OK, the idea that immortality is within reach that tells you that she's part of the occult. Pushing, and this is one of the reasons I love her.

She's pushing the kinds of stuff that mainstream media pushes to us for the technocracy. The climate change stuff, and we're all going to become immortal and all the rest of the stuff. She had some really strange detailed predictions, which when she gets detailed, they really don't come true. We'll see what happens with this one. She said that Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, who is set to move to Ferrari after a 12-year stint with Mercedes, will guide Ferrari into its first championship win since 2007. Why would a Bulgarian peasant be predicting who was going to become the formula one star i seriously in 2025 you know 30 years ago 30 years after she dies i seriously believe that this is somebody reading something into something that she wrote cryptically okay and um so the

psychic foresees him clinching the victory in a thrilling final showdown against rival max verstappen uh i don't think so but let's go back and look at what they don't typically do you know i thought what did she predict for 2024 what did she predict for 2023 so i went back and looked at some of the articles that were forward looking and some of those and a couple of places they actually went back and said well how did she do with some of these predictions well a year ago this is the kind of stuff that she was saying she said that there was going to be massive solar so 2024 this history site in the uk says that, one of her reported predictions for 2023,

that we would witness solar activity, which could have serious consequences for the Earth, seems to have been backed up by real-world events. Well, not really. Did you see all the power grids go down with a coronal mass ejection or something like that? No. I mean, we had some sunspots. We had some coronal mass ejection or something like that? No, I mean, we had some sunspots. We had some coronal mass ejections, but you always do.

It wasn't anything that was earth shattering in 2023, or maybe I just missed it. Her fame is all the more impressive when we consider the lack of written records detailing what exactly she did or did not say. Bingo. You see, this is why it is it's like q anon um speaking riddles and not only that but they don't really have any written records so where

are they getting this stuff yeah this is another one of these mainstream media things one of the things that she had predicted uh for 2024 was that the earth was going to have an orbital alteration our orbit was going to change i missed that did that happen i that there would be bioweapon deployment uh well now if she had said that in 2020 that would be something to to focus on but she didn't she said that was going to happen in 2024 you know did she ever say anything about covid and the lockdowns of global lockdowns apparently not that wasn't on her radar she said there might be a breakthrough in quantum computing in 2024 did she talk about artificial intelligence no the advent of designer humans again i think a lot of this is people reading into what she wrote.

Either that or she was a closet technocrat. Much discussed Baba Vanga prophecy involves human beings that are grown and born in labs. Now, of course, she could have just read Brave New World or had somebody read it to her. She was blind. But amazing medical breakthroughs predicting that cancer was going to they're going to find a cure for cancer last year that didn't happen either um but that was part of i guess one of the reasons why people were saying we're going to live forever she has a lot of predictions about climate change though and i suspect that is a lot of her popularity, this doom and gloom stuff.

But she also said, oh, they tried to make, they say, well, she predicted there was going to be a breakthrough in cancer treatment. They said, well, the World Economic Forum says that a new drug trial reduced the risk of death by 40% for people who had cervical cancer it's like well you know you probably can do that good or better with apricot seeds um it's uh uh that's not a cure for cancer anyway um economic crisis she predicted and of course um that is always uh in the cards but that didn't happen this last year we We didn't have an economic crisis. The fall of Syria would bring about World War III, she said. And again, we don't know if she said it or if this is because she doesn't have much in terms of written records, and they certainly didn't have any details, and she's spoken

riddles. But somebody said that the fall of Syria would be the start of a terrible global war. As soon as Syria falls, expect a great war between the West and the East. And in the spring of 2024, they said, a war in the East will begin and there will be a third world war. But of course, that didn't happen. In 2023, she had predicted a terrifying nuclear disaster would ravage the earth before the end of 2023 no uh warned of a major nuclear power plant explosion in 2023 that would cause toxic clouds to settle over asia and uh so they keep coming back to this and saying she predicted 9-11.

She predicted the death of Princess Diana. I think you could kind of scope out Princess Diana. But here's the prediction. Just so you know, when somebody said, well, Baba Vanga predicted 9-11. This is what they construed to mean by that. Quote, the American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds the wolves will be howling in a bush and innocent blood will be gushing some say this relates to the attacks on the world trade center in new york i guess that's the theowitz and the Bush, you know? George Bush and Wolfowitz, the wolves will be howling in a bush.

I don't know. I think that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Among her incorrect predictions were that the 45th president of the U.S. would be faced with a crisis which would bring the country down. That didn't happen. She wrongly predicted that the 1994 World Cup final. See, again, this is strange. Why is she predicting that, predicted that the 1994 World Cup final, again, this is strange. Why is she predicting that the World Cup final, but of course she was still alive at that point in time,

so maybe somebody asked her, who's going to win the World Cup? She says, it'll be played by two teams whose names begin with B. Well, the teams were Brazil and Italy, and I don't know any modification of the term uh for italy you know this is kind of funny how uh people who live in a particular country they will call um rome roma or venice venetia or milano or forensia you know for florence and then we call them completely different names

why do we do that why don't we just call it what they call it i don't know but uh there's not any instance of italy being called something that starts with b they don't call italia anything that starts with anyway as well as a nuclear war she said between 2010 and 2014. and that didn't happen either there was a nuclear war 2010 2014 and there wasn't a massive power plant failure like chernobyl which happened in her lifetime uh that didn't happen either at the end of 2023 she said europe was going to end in 2016 no the closest i got to that was that britain voted to leave the European Union. But when we look at what is coming ahead, this is a Serbian president who seems to be very prescient about what lies ahead. He made this prediction June of 2024, and he expects world conflicts to escalate in the coming months, he warns of the biggest geopolitical crisis since the Second World War.

Well, I think he's probably right. And we can all look at that in the cards and we can figure out that's what's going on. Will he get a big following like Baba Vanga? I don't know. Without mentioning political parties, their interests or anything, he said, I will talk about the problems we're facing. And he told his people, he said, together we must respond to the challenges that lie ahead of us and reach the results that we all want. We are living at a time of the greatest geopolitical crisis since the Second World War.

And I have certain knowledge, more than ordinary citizens. And I often rely on what I feel through conversations with the biggest world leaders. I expect the situation to escalate in the coming months. And I expect that we'll face very serious consequences. And we're talking about Europe and the world. He said the world is facing two possible scenarios. A third world war or a long-term ceasefire with Ukraine. Well, I think that's pretty true and uh you know we don't have to go to bilderberg or anything like that or the world economic forum at davos

to figure out any of that stuff i think it is uh pretty clear for all of us to see unfortunately that is what lies ahead and as i said you know, never underestimate the power of prayer. You know, we're told to pray for the peace of our country, and that includes the world at this point in time, because if we're looking at a world war, peace of our country would be a part of that because we're right at the epicenter of that. And that really does change things. Prayer really does change things. I think that, as i said before i think that was responsible for getting rid of roe v8 certainly wasn't trump and the republicans

they had danced around that for many years 45 years almost and had not done anything but either way just understand and be confident about what is coming in the future Audi Modern Retro Radio thank you very much appreciate that

I made my best comments today so I'll just say good morning David well thank you Audi appreciate that and you can find him at modernretroradio.com

we'll be right back Thank you. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well a lot of what baba yanga vanga i always to say dude afterwards, a lot of what she said was related to climate type of things. And some of the worst forecasts of the future come from people who are in the climate area. People like Michael Mann, who had forecast with the inconvenient truth and everything, he forecast that if CO2 had gone up, the temperature was going to go up commensurate or even more the hockey stick thing well you know he's got other uh forecasts that failed miserably his forecast for 2024 was that the hurricane season would be the biggest on record uh he claimed that there would be 33 named storms in 2024 in the Atlantic hurricane season. He said the highest count ever predicted.

He proudly declared. And what's up with that dot com says Michael Mann delivering a prediction so spectacularly off target it could make a dartboard blush. They called him the Black knight uh from monty python no matter how many how many times he gets whacked and wrong you know take off an arm take off another leg he keeps kind of it's just merely a flesh wound it's but a scratch he says right well it turns out that um michael Michael Mann and colleagues predict a record-breaking 33 name storms for 2024. The highest ever projected, they proudly said. That's out of Penn State University, where he is now holding court. We ended up not with 33, but with 18.

Big difference from the 33. And to put it in perspective, the historical average is 14. So only slightly above that. Steve Malloy of Junk Science summed it up aptly by calling Mann's prediction the wrongest count ever predicted. Mann didn't just miss the bullseye.

He missed the entire dartboard and hit the pub wall this isn't the first time man's claims have faced challenges his career includes the controversial hockey stick graph which has been the subject of ongoing debate for decades and that was the thing that he so uh was was so um key to keep that data quiet you know he was part of the climate gate thing and he did not want his data released he didn't want anybody checking his numbers the real issue here isn't just man's blown forecast it's the broader impact of such exaggerated predictions they feed into the narrative that extreme climate policies like net zero mandates, carbon taxes, and bans on conventional energy are urgent and necessary. And by the way, so the bans on conventional energy, the bans on appliances,

that was the Biden approach. The Trump approach is going to be carbon taxes. You can do whatever you want. Just pay Trump's friends. That's the way this is going to go down uh bold claims that demand bold evidence they said and a track record of accuracy to back them up i would say that about baba as well but of course that's definitely true about michael mann remember in 2017 when an iceberg in antarctica freaked you out science now says never mind and it was a big freak out about that iceberg in CNN. In July 2017, CNN and a number of media outlets posted stories about iceberg A68 calving off Antarctica's Larson Sea Ice Shelf, with CNN suggesting that we should be freaked out.

That was their term. Be afraid. Be very afraid. You should freak out. shelf with cnn suggesting that we should be freaked out that was their term be afraid be very afraid right you should freak out uh cnn's john d sutter wrote in his article the title of the article was that huge iceberg should freak you out here's why and in it he says this doesn't not look like climate change. Notice the double negative. It definitely is climate change. He said, there's no disagreement among climate scientists about whether humans are warming the earth by burning fossil fuels and polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. We are.

And we are seeing now the consequences. The climate chicken littles of the media blamed it on climate change then, but today, a new peer-reviewed scientific study says it wasn't anything abnormal and that we shouldn't worry about it. The new study, published in Geophysical Research Letters,

tosses ice-cold water on the overhyped media claims. They said they analyzed 47 years of observational satellite data from Antarctica and found that there has been no trend in annual Antarctic maximum calving size between 1976 and 2023. So as long as they've been looking, they haven't seen any difference. And yet, it's the media propaganda that has everybody absolutely certain that this is happening. There's been no detected, the findings of the study has four points here. And I'm sorry, three points here. There's been no detectable upward trend in annual maximum iceberg area in Antarctica since 1973 based on satellite measurements. The break-off iceberg, A68, that he was telling you to freak out about, was not statistically notable.

Calving events several times larger than anything observed in the modern record could occur, and still it would not necessarily be due to climate change and even more so we now see that arctic ice data shows that the amount of ice is now 26 larger than it was in 2012 just 12 12 years ago. It's increased by 26%. Tony Heller took to X to highlight the climate misinformation, disinformation campaigns. He referenced a 2007 BBC news article titled Arctic summers, ice-free by 2013,

which warned readers of the supposed threat that latest modeling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just five to six years that didn't happen did it you know when we look at the confirmation hearings of rfk jr i really don't expect anybody to call him out for when he was wrote the op-ed pieces about this same time, saying our kids will never see snow. Remember that? Now, I would like to see somebody call that up, but a Republican's not going to do that because they'd be going against Trump,

and they're not about to do that. The only person who might do something like that would be Thomas Massey, except I don't know. But I don't know. Is it the Senate or the House except i don't know but uh i don't know is it the senate or the uh house or they do i don't know that may not be the issue but yeah that was their headline arctic summers will be ice free by 2013 and so of course as usual and this is not anything new and this is all very predictable the imf is calling for crushing carbon restrictions that would dwarf the COVID-19 lockdowns.

That's exactly right. That MacGuffin can be even worse. But we also have to worry about the bird flu, MacGuffin. And so we're going to take a quick break and we're going to be right back and we'll talk about the bird flu mcguffin and we'll go back five years ago and take a look at what was happening at that point in time and how this whole thing rolled out then i know you weren't fooled by it or you wouldn't be listening to this program by now you would have turned me off a long time ago if you if you think the masks uh are going to help you this is not your program you know it's funny too because you see

everybody has their confirmation bias and they want it checked to the extent that i noticed on i use the brave browser and i noticed that um they had uh and this is a new thing i've not seen it before that um when you look for news it has um two options up at the top, a blue and a red. And it says, do you want left of media news or do you want right of media news? Even the browser is splitting this up. It's like, yeah, but the question is, what's true? It doesn't matter what the blues or the reds are telling me. The left or the right or the Republicans or Democrats.

The question is, what is true? Does anybody care about that? Evidently not. We'll be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let's take a look at how they're going to roll out the pandemic propaganda. Because they're already starting to do it again with bird flu. And this is from Winepressnews.com.

British media is telling residents to isolate for 48 hours over fears of a highly contagious norovirus. Doesn't even have to be bird flu. And he's got here headlines in the UK, Manchester Evening News, The Mirror, Daily Star, Birmingham Live, five of them. And they all say the same headline. Families must stay indoors for 48 hours as this virus blah, blah, blah. Right?

We're seeing that over and over again on these things. And actually six of them I've got here. British families warned to stay indoors for 48 hours as virus spreads to homes. This is the same type of thing we've seen, saw it with the conservative media, the network of different channels and how they were all saying the same thing. And you've seen that video clip

where they have one anchor reading off the script and they just switch mid-sentence over to somebody else reading exactly the same script. They're reading off of a script. The point is-sentence over to somebody else reading exactly the same script they're reading off of a script the point is of course to elicit fear and once again test the waters to see what the public reaction is going to be to this kind of malarkey says wine press news and he's right and it's also part of the bad cop good cop panic that they create right for the longest time what we'll have is we'll have the the media out there hyping everything's like oh the sky is falling that type of thing and then the um the government will come back and say that's okay yeah that that's right but no don't

there's nothing to fear right now and then after they've done this for a while and acclimated everybody to this bad cop good cop thing then all of a sudden the government will push the panic button. And we saw this happen five years ago. Now you've got to be afraid. Now it's a big deal. Yeah, this is something that we've had reported in China, but now it's a big deal. When the real pandemic moves into high gear sooner rather than later, the masses will have been programmed to voluntarily comply the isolation the

masking the social distancing the air hugs the elbow bumps the vaccination the snitching on neighbors etc but of course you know this is part of the way that it's going to roll out it's a constant drip drip drip of things where the media tells you how scary it is, and then they downplay it. And here's an example. Going back five years ago, and this is actually when I reported, this is a clip from when I reported it when I was at InfoWars five years ago, talking about the schools and the school buses. And at this point, schools had not been locked down, but they were starting to move gradually into this superstition. All right, the magic bus, the magic school bus, as a matter of fact.

That's the who, the good guys, not the WHO. The good who, not the bad who. Who's on first? They were the who that was on first before they had the bad who. She's on second now in China. That other who. H-U. He's gone.

I don't know who's on third. But we'll see. Who was on first? She's on second. And I don't know what's coming up. Because this is just too crazy. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Anyway. And so we have, what do we do about the school buses do we get everybody on board the magic

school bus cbs has a uh a piece where they are wringing their hands over how they keep kids safe on a school bus in the age of covid let's roll roll that video clip five. Okay, CJ, come on up, sweet girl. The first day of school, we got to keep our masks on, okay? Brought some big changes to Gracie Duncan's school bus. Okay, James, it's a little different this year, so what I'm going to get you to do is go all the way to the back. The handful of students who climb the board must wear masks and go to assigned distant seats marked with the school's logo, filling the bus from back to front. Duncan's bus seats up to 64, but this year will have no more than 20, and the windows will be down to increase ventilation. But freshman Brandon Thompson

was a little skeptical. Nervous because I don't know if the cases are going up or after. And a survey of district parents found only about 25% say they let their kids take the bus this year. Rob Graham is the Radford superintendent. Why not cancel bus service? Why not just go virtual and not introduce this risk? There is a risk, and we've tried to make it as low as possible. There's not a risk being in the school bus. I think there's even a bigger risk of not having our children in school face to face. Radford schools followed CDC recommendations suggesting facial coverings, driving with the windows open, at least once a day cleaning to

disinfect buses, and creating distance between students, including seating children, at least one student per row facing forward and skipping rows between students. But in Georgia, where See how they did it gradually? We do not have students situated so they're sitting every other seat. We do have students in every seat on the bus. But we do have the windows down on the bus to provide additional ventilation. I think the first thing they should do is knock on wood. Do they have any wood on those things? They've got metal there on the back of the, at least I did when I was riding in school buses.

But, you know, that's the whole thing. They're so worried about safety here. That's why they paint them yellow. They don't have to have seat belts for the kids. They don't have to have soft surfaces. They don't have to have airbags that they mandate on other vehicles. No, no, no, it's safe because, you know, it's yellow and it's covered in laws and prohibitions and so therefore nobody can hit it. This is the mentality for school buses. But let's take a look at what's going on in colleges.

Because we have Cuomo sending a SWAT team to one of the state universities to contain a COVID-19 cluster, reports Fox News. They will have 71 contact tracers and 8 case investigators. Why? Well, they claim that they had 105 people who tested positive. Maybe they should read the New York Times article saying that they reviewed data from three different states, including New York.

And they said 90% of these cases, test cases, there's no way these people could have transmitted it to anybody. And we can't count, we can't use these tests anyway, said one of the doctors. But, of course, the solution to that was to test more. This is insanity.

This doesn't work, but let's do more of it. A lot more of it. And so the number of people that they got was 105. So if you apply those figures that we saw from the New York Times, that would mean that maybe they had 10 people. So they're going to send 71 contact tracers and eight case investigators, eight snoops, eight Inspector Clouseau's. They're going to, are you in your dorm room? For those 10 people who actually have it. Colleges are a canary in the coal mine, said Cuomo. So let's

talk about the canary in the coal mine and what it's really telling us. Zero Hedge has an article, sentenced to isolation prisons, and they've got a long list, excellent article. I'd suggest you look at this, especially if you're thinking about going to college or know any sons or daughters who are thinking about going to college. You might want to take a look at this, what they're doing to them. And I'm not even talking about what they teach them. I'm talking about how they treat them. And you better be glad that they're not getting what you paid for. But University of Alabama, the whole thing is a bait and switch.

We're forced to pay to attend Zoom classes in our rooms all semester. We'll wait until you graduate and try to get a job. Then you'll find out what real bait and switch. We're forced to pay to attend Zoom classes in our rooms all semester. We'll wait until you graduate and try to get a job. Then you'll find out what real bait and switch is. University of Iowa. They have isolation domes for COVID kids, but they're horrid. Guys in hazmat suits come. Two weeks isolation, no visitors, nurse on call, but

up to a three-hour wait if you actually need something. Kids at school now are not getting tested, so they don't get sentenced to the isolation prisons. Well, that's not the case in Texas A&M. They'll come and get you if you don't show up for your random test. Middlebury College. Students had to sign a health pledge. All students are confined to dorm rooms until COVID test comes back negative. No one off the campus until at least September the 15th. Southern Methodist University. Students must wear masks outside

of dorm rooms. Threatened with draconian honor code violations. Yet today, the athletes, with permission of and active participation by the university, were permitted to organize a Black Lives Matter march. University of Tennessee, Martin. Since my college courses are all online, keep in mind, without any tuition deduction, University of South Carolina roommates are terrified of making a mistake. It's horrific.

After four months of quarantine with no friends, my daughter was desperate to go to campus, so we encouraged it. I'm sick with worry every day. Not about the virus, but about the anguish, the social isolation they're forcing on our kids. We'll be right back. Yeah, you know, things really don't change, do they? Pretty amazing, isn't it? And, you know, with all the talk about, look at how much education the kids missed. Do you understand they didn't miss a thing?

They're not, why can't Johnny read? Because they don't care if Johnny reads. It's even better for them if Johnny doesn't read and if johnny doesn't think critically about what they're doing you know as they show that one kid they said well i don't know he's pretty skeptical about all this stuff what was he skeptical about he was skeptical about the fact that it's going to protect him from this imaginary cootie disease that's going around everywhere he bought into the fact that it was an imaginary cootie disease because they told him but he even understood that well well, if that was real,

then this isn't going to work. Now, he's right about that. But you see, the purpose of the government school is to get you to rely on everything the government tells you. You believe them even over your lying eyes. And even if you have some doubts about critical thinking, oh, no, you still believe whatever they tell you. And you'll be safe until they tell you that you're not safe and they tell you to do the next thing. That's the bottom line. So you see, the kids didn't miss anything.

The schools are about social control. And boy, the kids get a load of that didn't they young kids uh being isolated sticks feet apart wear your mask all the time we got plexiglass that we're going to put around your desks and all the rest of this stuff they didn't miss a thing because that's what school is about it's about bf skinner type of psychological manipulation. When Karen was getting her master's degree, she had a book she brought home from B.F. Skinner. First time I'd ever seen it called Beyond Freedom and Dignity. And I said, well, it's about time somebody complained about that at schools. And she says, no, no, no.

He is advocating that freedom and dignity don't have any place, that we ought to all be treated like animals. It's like, what? Well, now it all makes sense, doesn't it? That was a real aha moment for me at that point. We've got Audi, Modern Retro Radio, says, putting fear in children. These monsters are unbelievable. That's right. That's what they do.

And they didn't miss any of that. They kept them afraid. Even if they weren't in the school buildings, they kept them afraid. NMAX, back to front. So everybody had to walk by everybody else's toxic breath. Yeah, that's the point. Even within their fake paradigm of their fake pandemic and their fake virus it doesn't make any sense it doesn't make any sense at all uh tree free 56 oxygen

deprived driver i feel better right yeah make sure she doesn't pass out but it was okay i mean she didn't have a real mask on she had a red rider bandana or something right but she didn't have her seat belt she's only one on the bus that had a seat belt and of course you know if you were to put kids in your car without a seat belt you can have a cop give you a ticket and cps take your kids away from you but as long as they're on a school bus everything's okay do not obey thank you very much for the tip all All right. Thank you, David Night Show. And thank you, Tony from Wolfpack Gold. Well, thank you. And one Jade View said, I told a kid they could take their mask off during and was scolded by their parent. Jeff Ingram, 3355.

I met a contact tracer in 2021, Sue, in Cupertino, California. She asked me if I was vaccinated. I said no. She told me, stay six feet away and don't step on any cracks. You'll break your mother's back. M Sellers. This morning on the local news, they gave a full report on the uptick of flu, COVID, norovirus, and bird flu.

They admitted their finding came from testing out waste and poo. How accurate could this be? we all know it's a scam the question is you know we knew this back then you know i was reporting on it back then as it was happening and laughing about it the problem is with the power of the media the power of the government the arguments from authority the social media that is there pushing everybody everybody went for it now they're not going to pull exactly the same thing again Of the government, the arguments from authority, the social media that is there pushing everybody. Everybody went for it. Now, they're not going to pull exactly the same thing again.

There'll be a slight variation on it. But just understand that there is absolutely no remorse, no regret from any of these people. They're never held accountable. Here's an example of Fauci. A mistake in so many states and so many localities to see schools closed as long as they were. I think in some cases, I don't want to use the word mistake, John. Do you regret particularly the last one, the shutdown, the sweeping shutdown that some said made things worse? No, I don't, Neil. And in fact, I think we need to make sure that your listeners understand I didn't shut down anything.

I recommended to the president that we shut the country down. And the only way to do that is by draconian means of essentially shutting down a country. We know that we can do that if we shut down. Well, I think one of the things you really need to do to the extent that you can shut down temporarily the country, I think is important. Well, if I knew at the time that shutting down would have such a dramatic effect on controlling the spread, obviously we would have shut down earlier. There are those who say you shut down destructive things by disrupting the economy.

And others say, well, if you save so many infections by shutting down, why didn't you shut down two weeks earlier? Yeah. And of course, that's what we heard from Trump. And he said, no, no, I shut down even before they wanted me. I said, I shut it down. But MAGA says it was never Trump who shut it down. He never did anything wrong.

Say the MAGA never Trumpers. Well, we've got the usual suspects are back in their lineup. Deborah Birx has got a fear mongering campaign. She's going from outlet to outlet pushing this stuff. We got she she was there with Fauci. And then we got Robert Redfield, who was Trump's CDC guy. These people who disappeared for four years, and they're now all coming out of the woodwork again. The usual suspects.

Isn't that interesting? This was reported by the Ron Paul Institute. It said, in June, I wrote about Deborah Birx, one of the key so-called public health officials, from the orchestration of the America coronavirus scare being back in action, stirring up fear of another disease. This time, her fear mongering was about bird flu. She's advocating for government to follow similar disastrous course to supposedly counter this disease, as has been pursued in regard to coronavirus and the crackdown begun years

back. I think what they're going to do this time, they keep focusing on various aspects of the food supply they're focusing on backyard birds for example other things like that and we've had fauci come out a couple months ago he was saying well it's jumped to pigs and that's really dangerous well you know when pigs flew i'll worry about it at that point in time. Berks is continuing on her quest to stir up new bird flu scare in America. Recent stop on her fear mongering campaign was an interview at CNN in which she warned that like coronavirus early on, bird flu is not being addressed sufficiently by the United States government. They they're getting ready to drop the hammer with this kind of stuff

and uh you know again we go back and look at it would maga have locked down for hillary clinton would they do it for biden okay but will they do it again for trump well i say yes because they already did it once before and because they are so delusional about all this stuff that they can't hold him responsible for as a matter of fact there's a brownstone article about the deception of the media deception of parents and they said there was a vermont supreme court decision that ruled that a six-year-old boy who was given a covid vaccine against his parents' specific instructions that he not be jabbed. The Supreme Court said, no, you can do that. And so then the Associated Press came out and said, well, yeah, this doesn't say, though,

that schools can vaccinate children without parental consent. Well, it absolutely does. And John Klar, this Brownstone article, quotes from the court decision that says, Other state courts faced with similar facts have concluded that state law claims against immunized defendants cannot proceed in state court in light of the PrEP Act's immunity and preemption provisions, including claims based on the failure to secure parental consent. What they're saying is that this George Bush era thing of 2005, the PrEP Act, which gives extended immunity to any damage that these vaccine companies do, also gives immunity to school officials who vaccinate your children without your permission. Yeah, keep them out of the school bus. Keep them out of the school bus keep them out of the school and yet you have individuals

they quote the associated press quotes a guy who's supposedly a law professor doesn't know anything about law says nothing in vermont supreme court opinion states that school officials can vaccinate a child against the instructions of their parents and this brownstone article, he says, but the court case specifically holds that all state tort claims, including those alleging willful jabbing, are preempted by federal law. An observable fact, the court ruled that the family could not proceed with their case, even though the complaint alleges that the school vaccinated a child

against the instructions of their parents. They said Vermont parents might rightly raise eyebrows at the fact that the Vermont governor gave cash awards to the school officials to do this. That's what Trump did at the hospitals for the ventilators, for the remdesivir, for even declaring that somebody has got COVID. And he gave them cash wards. That's how it works, MAGA. Wake up before they do it again. Thanks for joining us. Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better. And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost.

Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com. And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay

to my various galas and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
