Starting point is 00:00:00 In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's theth of february year of our lord 2025 well today we're going to take a look beginning with ukraine are we approaching a peace talk we had a lot of uh announcements yesterday but i think the key thing is uh lindsey graham just coming out and saying the obvious. It's all about money. So we're going to talk about that. Maybe there will be peace.
Starting point is 00:01:09 But we have Trump saying, no, the money will continue. It will continue to Ukraine. And we have shocking revelations coming out of China. A new hidden virus outbreak. Is that really what is happening? Or do we have American mockingbird media pushing it and i'm talking about the mockingbird media on the right on the right pushing this and the inflation surge we got gas groceries skyrocket as gold is soaring and the markets are bracing for recession and we also
Starting point is 00:01:39 take a look at the climate issues we have actually not an increase in forest fires. If you go back and look at this historically, we have what they call, someone called a fire deficit. But don't worry about that. We've got Elon Musk stepping on the gas to make these new massive battery energy storage sites. Yeah, if they can't burn down
Starting point is 00:02:00 the economy, they'll burn down our community. We'll be right back well we had uh yesterday a very interesting timing that you had uh uh pete hegseth secretary defense come out and make some very clear statements about ukraine even as the trump administration is talking about how they're going to uh how trump is going to meet with putin here is what hegseth had to say we want like you a sovereign and prosperous ukraine but we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war will not begin again. This must not be Minsk 3.0.
Starting point is 00:03:10 That said, the United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. Instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable European and non-European troops. If these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to Ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-NATO mission, and they should not be covered under Article 5. I don't know why that kept cutting off on us, but yeah, here's the high points here. No NATO membership for Ukraine. This was the thing that was hanging out there, as I told you, going back to 2019. Alexei Arestovich, the newly elected Zelensielinski administration which won on a platform of peace
Starting point is 00:04:07 ironically yeah not ironically hypocritically they knew what they were going to do they were having peace talks with the people in ukraine that kiev had been bombing you know they want to wring their hands about civilian bombing they were doing it all the time and had been doing it for five years after the u.s engineered coup usaid democrats alexandria chalupa all the usual suspects just line them up the usual suspects uh so after that had been going on for five years people were sick of it they wanted to have peace. Instead, as the Ukrainian TV was interviewing Arestovich, they said, what's the chance of peace? He said, none. Oh, that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:04:53 He goes, no, it's going to get worse in three years, which is when it happened, 2022. We'll be at full-on war with Russia. And she said, that's horrible. He goes, well, the country will be havoced was the way it was translated in English. But the good news is we're going to get into NATO. Well, you got your country havoced, but you're not getting in NATO. Not in these next four years, perhaps if they keep their word, who knows? I mean, you know, politicians can say anything. Who knows what they're going to do, frankly. But, you know, taking them at their word, they're not going to get into NATO. There's not going to be any return to pre-2014 borders.
Starting point is 00:05:31 There's not any way you're going to do that without going to war with Russia. And there's not going to be any U.S. troops in Ukraine. And there'll be no more relying on the U.S. for the majority, majority of military building. Now, Trump also said that this will continue. He just wants to get paid for it now. The mafia, Don, wants to get paid for this. Because, you know, look, it'd be stupid enough if wars were fought over borders. And over who's going to have control over you, right?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I mean, why don't we just let people secede if they want to secede? Everybody demanded that Ukraine have the right to secede from Russia, and yet nobody, the same people, would deny the fact that Crimea points that were eastern Ukraine, that were culturally connected to Russia. No, no, no. We can't let them secede. So, secession for us, but not for you. We've seen this over and over again. We saw this in our own Civil War, didn't we? Our country was created by secession, by seceding from the British Empire.
Starting point is 00:06:51 But no, no, no, you can't go your own way. And basically, the southern states recognized that. And so when Western Virginia wanted to stay in the Union, they said, okay, do your own thing. And that's why we have West Virginia versus Virginia today. Because, hey, you can do your own thing and that's why we have west virginia versus virginia today because hey you can do your own thing that's fine and we have seen in scandinavia these very scandinavian countries norway sweden finland denmark they have been combined in various combinations over many many years and they would come together they would break apart some of them would say well we want to you know go our own way they never had to have a war over that it's not necessary to have that but it's not even about the borders it's about money it's always about money so um
Starting point is 00:07:34 hexas said well we want you like a as a sovereign and prosperous ukraine wouldn't it be nice if we were sovereign and prosperous America? Instead of having a foreign country like Israel telling us what we're going to do, or the UN, or the World Economic Forum, or any number of these other organizations. Wouldn't it be nice if we were sovereign in the sense that our government didn't have so much money and corruption there that the government could be bought by billionaires, as we have seen this current administration bought and sold. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. And again, it comes right as the meeting is being announced, and so they gave it to Pete Hegseth to lay out the issues. So Putin has invited Trump to visit Moscow on a highly productive call they had at the same time.
Starting point is 00:08:36 They're now calling for peace. Wednesday marks the first known conversation between Trump and Putin since the new U.S. president entered office. Both leaders had extended invitations to, quote, visiting each other's nations, unquote. Trump said that he would be calling Zelensky right now to inform him about the call and update him. And get on the phone and say, hey, pal, it's over. Oh, you're not even getting the t-shirt uh so so we both agreed and we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with russia and ukraine no i don't know if it's millions
Starting point is 00:09:14 and trump always overstates everything our respective teams have started negotiating immediately of course that's what hegseth is laying out the terms of what they've already agreed to uh i want to thank putin for his time and effort with respect to this call and the release yesterday of Mark Fogle, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House, a person who's been under arrest for about three years. They released him as a sign of good faith. The Russians did. The night prior was when Mark Fogle, he is identified as an American school teacher.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Who knows? Maybe he was with USAID. I don't know if he's a spy. I don't know if they just. Look, Russia is not a it doesn't follow any moral or rules or laws either. So who knows? They might have falsely arrested him he had a over three year stint in russian prison they did a prisoner exchange and so it's not just a unilateral thing
Starting point is 00:10:14 there was a prisoner exchange we had a crypto guy of theirs a geopolitical observer arno bertrand said this is a monumental shift the u.s is finally renouncing nato membership for ukraine after 17 years of trying this is no cause for celebration it's tragic really had this position been taken in late 2021 instead of doubling down on nato expansion the war and its hundreds of thousands of casualties would have undoubtedly been avoided yeah exactly this happened because they kept pushing and pushing and pushing and russia knew that it was next this is not this is not some domino theory well if we let russia take ukraine it's going to take over the rest of Europe. No, no.
Starting point is 00:11:09 This was about the Russians looking at it and saying, if they bring Ukraine in, that's the next step for if they bring them into NATO. So overnight, as Zelensky is coming back and saying, hey, let's talk. Come on, let's talk. Well, overnight, there was a Russian strike on Kiev capital, a massive one, used ballistic missiles and over 120 drones. It was directed at military plants as well as energy infrastructure. Now, Ukraine is saying, well, they hit apartment buildings and stuff. That's where they had put their, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:42 they've got these ad hoc small manufacturing facilities where they create the militarized drones. And so this has been a very effective weapon. This is going to be, in the future, the asymmetric warfare. You think of it as flying improvised explosive devices ieds very easily made by individuals very easily made in a guerrilla war and so they had identified these places they said they carried out a group missile strike on workshops of ukrainian military industrial complex enterprises producing unmanned aerial vehicles and fpv drones the goals of the strike have been accomplished all designated facilities have been hit the attack involved
Starting point is 00:12:31 iskander m ballistic missiles and over 120 drones which ukrainian forces claim to have shot down seven of the iskanders they don't say how many got through. And 71 UAVs. Now, even if that is true, 71 out of 120, that's still pretty devastating. The Ukrainian capital appears to have been one of the hardest hit cities in a wave of strikes. Ukraine's deputy energy minister said that the recent Russian strikes on on gas infrastructure creating quote certain pressure and that ukraine will need help from partners to import additional volumes of gas well you know we can do that if you just give us some of those rare earth minerals most of which are going to be in the territories that russia is going to hold but um there will be some lucrative contracts, I'm sure. You remember Brown and Root and Dick Cheney, how they rebuilt Iraq and those crooked contracts involved there,
Starting point is 00:13:34 no-bid contracts and things like that. I'm sure there'll be a lot of that in Ukraine. They're going to find gold even if they don't find the rare earth the military industrial contractors and the people who are allied with them but it's good to see the war stopping even if it's just stopping so these people can make money i guess russian telegram channels cited eyewitnesses reporting 16 explosions across the city zelinsky reacted by saying that Putin is, quote, not preparing for peace. And so the day prior, Zelensky had offered a land swap deal to Putin. This is the way Putin answered him. You're not winning the war.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You don't set the terms. And this has been in the works from the very beginning. People like Carl McGregor have always, and independent analysts that aren't allied politically with one side or the other out of India at the very beginning, said there's no way that Ukraine is going to win this. And the danger has always been that this would be escalated into a nuclear war, perhaps with some kind of a false flag or perhaps with something that Zelensky would do. And he pushed very hard for that.
Starting point is 00:14:50 So this is a good thing for us, even though we're going to still continue to get ripped off for the money. He said, Ukraine will give up cursed territory, said Zelensky. I tell you what, we'll give up some of the cursed territory to end the war. You know, these little areas that we went in that, you know, they're not going to be able to hold in Russia. We'll give up some of that. And then, you know, you can give up some of what you're holding in Ukraine. And we'll swap one territory for another.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And then there was a big barrage of missiles. That's the answer so trump is also going to send the treasury secretary to kiev because yes folks it is about the money i want to have our money secured because we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars and we'll stop it you know they may make a deal they may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday or they may not be Russian someday. But we're going to have all this money in there. And I say I want it back. And I told them that I want the equivalent, like five hundred billion dollars worth of rare earth. And they've essentially agreed to do that.
Starting point is 00:16:00 So at least we don't feel stupid. Otherwise, we're stupid. I said to them, we have to we don't feel stupid otherwise we're stupid i said to them we have to we have to get something we can't continue to pay this money you know uh come on man i gotta dip my beak in this stuff right that's a mafia don uh so he says you know ukraine may be russian someday and uh i need um half a trillion dollars in rare earth minerals among many provocative and controversial statements within the first month of his presidency this may be one of trump's most shocking yet uh this is a zero hedge actually
Starting point is 00:16:37 and uh or at least that's how it'll be received in kiev and a fox interview which aired monday night this all happened pretty quickly right he goes out there and he says hey you know um they might be russian someday who knows and so then you know they work up these terms that you just heard from hegseth they announced that they're going to be meeting on by wednesday and um so anyway so monday night was when that was made when he says Ukraine may be Russian someday. You know, it was Russian for 400 years. Anyway, we don't want to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Ukraine may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday or they may not be Russian someday. But I told them I want 500 billion dollars worth of rare earth crass commercial like a gangster is that a good thing i don't think so uh so uh zielinski after he's saying to putin yeah i'll give you a land for that and now he says to trump yeah i'll give you some rare earth minerals. Let's do a deal. Let's do a deal.
Starting point is 00:17:47 What a crook this little guy is. Of course, they all are. If we are talking about a deal, then let's do a deal. We are only for it. Let's do a deal. We are only for it. The Americans helped the most. Therefore, Americans should earn the most.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Well, Lindsey Graham just laid it out there for what it really is. He said, this war is about money. People don't talk much about it, but you know, the richest country in all Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine. Two to seven trillion dollars worth of minerals that are rare earth minerals very relevant to the 21st century you know what's relevant to the 21st century is this criminal imperialism of the american empire and everybody else i mean everything these people are going for everything aren't they they don't want us to own anything they want to own everything the the uh technate that put trump in
Starting point is 00:18:46 that bought him and put him into office they want everything as well and so yeah we're going to see this uh revival of old-fashioned imperialism so yeah do you want to die for borders do you want to die not even for borders and for language and culture but how about for their money you want to you want to die for that you want to fight their wars for that? So Zelensky, again, offered the land swap to Putin. He offered the rare earth to Trump. This guy's making deals with stuff that he doesn't own. He doesn't have any way to hold this land.
Starting point is 00:19:22 And, of course, a lot of the land that has been taken has the rare earth minerals in it so he's out there trying to make deals with stuff that he doesn't know now tucker carlson is right on target is he i don't think so he's accusing ukraine of reselling u.s supplied arms to mexican drug cartels is this news? First of all, Tucker, you've been around for a while. Did you ever hear anything about us growing poppies in Afghanistan? Did you ever hear anything about the CIA creating a crack cocaine epidemic? Ever hear anything about us partnering with drug cartels in Central and South America and Mexico.
Starting point is 00:20:08 What a scoop for Tucker Carlson. And of course, everybody has been talking since this whole thing began about how corrupt Ukraine, even Bill Gates, said, well, you know, Ukraine is the most corrupt nation on earth. He came out and said that. So we know that all the money that we've been sending is not just going to, it's not going to weapons and it's not going to the people there. It's like everything else that USAID does. Oh, let's send some food in there.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Let's send some money in there. Well, it goes straight to the government officials and then the government officials use it for themselves. They sell it to somebody else. That's the way all of this stuff works. Tucker should know that. I mean, his dad worked for the CIA with Voice of America. I don't know how USAID works and how our foreign policy works
Starting point is 00:20:58 and how the military weapons work. How it's all there to enrich these dictators. Because, hey, we just want the money that's there and the other stuff that's there so um yeah uh you know some reporters will tell you the truth about this you know gary webb told us the truth about the crack cocaine epidemic what happened to him well they organized the la times to destroy his reputation and then that put him out of commission for a few years and then as he organized himself to come back i'm going to fight claw my way back into this thing
Starting point is 00:21:29 by the way that is the word of the week claw back claw back i just been reading it so many different headlines we're clawing back the 59 million dollars we're going to claw back 4.3 billion dollars from california in their high-speed rail thing so we're clawing back everything so gary i just subconsciously uh use the word of the day you know like gravitas they use this word and then everybody's an echo chamber so anyway as gary webb was clawing back his way they they killed him. They killed him. But, you know, some reporters who don't tell you the truth, like Tucker Carlson, who give you a limited hangout, who spin it, somehow they get tens of millions of dollars a year and they get the fast track to the head of the line. Whether you're talking about Elon Musk's ex or you're talking about these other issues.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Anyway, so Ukraine receives American weapons and they're being skimmed from the Ukrainian military officials or by the Ukrainian military officials who then sell them to cartels who knew who knew well as I said before if you think this stuff is going to stop think again listen to what trump says and at the very end he talks about the fact that the money is going to continue so uh we're we're getting uh security on our money we're going to have it secured by they have uh raw earth and they have oil and gas and they have a lot of things and we're asking for security in our money so they does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine? They've agreed to it. Ukraine has agreed to it. Does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine?
Starting point is 00:23:09 No, we are, but we want it secured, and the money is going to be secured. When will the U.S. stop sending funding? When will the U.S. stop sending? Because if we didn't do that, then Putin would say he won. We're the thing that's holding it back and frankly we'll go as long as we have to go because we're not going to let the other happen yeah let it continue this okay so look this is the guy who um well we got a lot of this this killing but you know we're going to continue sending them weapons okay stop the killing but we're going to continue to send them weapons this is a guy who for money killed americans
Starting point is 00:23:47 killed people around the world with a bioweapon shot but he killed americans with ventilators and rendezavir and lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff he killed businesses why'd he do that it was for the money of course he was bought and sold by big pharma. What's he going to do for Elon Musk and his technique buddies? They want to set up a technocracy. They gave him a lot more money than the pharmaceutical companies did. And he's already given Elon Musk the keys to the kingdom. He can see everything that is there. What do you think that's worth?
Starting point is 00:24:23 Knowing everything about us, knowing everything about the government. So he was paid. And then he turned around and he paid doctors and hospitals to kill us. He paid governors and public health departments to kill us. Well, we're going to take a break. When we return, we're going to talk about how the conservative media is selling not just the lab leak nonsense to make the pandemic look real, but they're telling us that, you know, there's flu going around in China.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Oh, even though China says it's not a big outbreak, we know they're lying. We know that this is COVID, not even the vaccines, really. We know that's really what this is all about. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. 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.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com. 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. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show new world order in music. One, two, three, four, five. All the unvaccinated are still alive. A little bit of Pfizer in my arm. A little bit of BioNTech does no harm.
Starting point is 00:27:15 A little Johnson & Johnson does the trick. A little AstraZeneca so you don't get sick. It's booster number five. They're doing what in the place they named after me? Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors. Making sense common again. This is the David Knight Show. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And Be My Valentine writes and says, I saw warehouses full of supplies sent from the U.S. that never made it to the people in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Yeah, and of course, we can talk about what the Clintons did in Haiti and the Clinton Foundation, the rest of this stuff. I mean, it gets even worse than just stealing money, the things that they do to children, others, human trafficking. Let's take a look at the fear campaign being conducted by the epic times and zero hedge put out this story as well listen to this microbiologists and residents say china conceals the extent of respiratory virus outbreak here we are five years nearly to the day, okay, after all this nonsense, and we've got
Starting point is 00:28:27 deja flu. It's deja flu. Well, it was never flu, but it was just flu they called this pandemic. But yeah, deja flu. Now the pandemic has returned. Chinese health authorities have said this winter's flu season is less severe than the year before, but, but, says Epic Times. turn chinese health authorities have said this winter's flu season is less severe than the year before but but says epic times shame on you epic times but medical experts who are not even there
Starting point is 00:28:53 doubt the transparency of the respiratory illness situation now did they cast any aspersions on china i I said when this stuff was happening in December of 2019. I said, okay, so China is telling us that this is really serious. And we're getting pictures coming out of China. Obviously, people taking a dive. They don't even know how to do a fall. They need to contact Jackie Chan or somebody. I mean, they've got people who are very adept at this stuff in China.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Now, they're really good at this. They should have used them. Instead, they just used some walk-on, you know, some extra. And it was as fake as it could be. And they showed pictures of the hospitals. And they had people all over the pictures that they showed. Who knows if that was typical or not? Except we had been there, and we had seen that pretty much anywhere you went, you know, if you go into a railroad station, you can hardly move.
Starting point is 00:29:51 And the people laying all over the floor at the railroad station, everything else that you go into Walmart and it was mobbed and there was nothing special going on. And, you know, it was just it was as bad or worse than what you would see on Black Friday. Every day. Every day. It was amazing. We came back to America and we go to a Walmart and it's like ghost town city. It's like, how do they even survive in America? When you look at how many people were there in China. So I said, that doesn't mean anything to show people in the hallways of a hospital.
Starting point is 00:30:22 It doesn't indicate that there's some kind of a pandemic and of course we could see that in new york and other places where new york supposed to be ground zero empty hospitals and we got tiktok nurses dancing all right anyway this is um we now have medical experts who know better and i said well you know what they're telling us is that this flu season they have uh numbers for this flu season that are way less than are typical so i think they're lying i think they're underreporting this and so then they want to make the next step and say well because they're lying and underreporting that means it really is covid part what is it now i mean? How many different variants have we had? I don't know if it is this COVID part 23, 24.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Where are we with all these supposed variants? Never isolating a single one. So residents from four different cities have expressed concerns about an uptick in respiratory infections. And they spoke to the Epoch Times. Now, the Epoch Times is allied with the Falun Gong. They are opposed to China. They are very politicized and untrustworthy, quite frankly, as a source. I did interview a guy who was with the Falun Gong,
Starting point is 00:31:41 who talked about organ transplant and how they would use the Falun Gong, who talked about organ transplant and how they would use Falun Gong as well as Christians and as well as political prisoners. They would use them for organ transplants and take them out while they're alive because that's what happens. That's the dirty secret of organ transplant. And so I talked to him about that. But look, the Epoch Times and the Falun Gong, they're just as dishonest as the Chinese government. So they're going to write this massively long story and Zero Hedge is going to publish it?
Starting point is 00:32:16 And say, well, this is what the Chinese government is saying. They're saying that they're having really mild flu. But we know that they're not. And we know that it's even worse. And so we know that it's another COVID outbreak. It's deja flu. Some suspected their flu-like symptoms may actually be caused by COVID-19, fearing that doctors were instructed to avoid such diagnoses, given that the authorities declared a victory
Starting point is 00:32:39 in the fight. So, you know, government will look the other way when people get sick and die yeah we saw that with the vaccines didn't we yeah uh not rocket science there uh in a northern in northern china xing yang a woman named zu x you no last name given So a woman named Zhu said she had noticed more people sick with respiratory illness and had seen local hospitals packed again during the Lunar New Year holiday. Well, that's it. That's it. We know it's real then.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And so based on her statement and some other people's statement, we know this is true. This is bird flu stupid. That's how stupid this is. Bird brain flu is what they ought to call it, right? Only bird brains believe that it's a flu. And only bird brains believe that the USDA killing tens of millions of chickens every month is a reasonable response, even if it were an airborne disease. even if it were an airborne disease even if it were an airborne disease that doesn't make any sense whatsoever so i'm feeling unwell myself and i haven't recovered she said um the hospital said i contracted influenza a but i believe that
Starting point is 00:34:00 it was covet 19 there you go how many times did we hear that in America? You know, we not only turned our country into OCD America, obsessive compulsion disorder. I said that, you know, I said, look at these people who are wearing masks and hanging six feet apart.
Starting point is 00:34:17 They're afraid to touch a gas pump handle. We become OCD America. I said, no, that was just the first couple of weeks. People were scared to death. And they also have created a nation of hypochondriacs. You've got people in the deep Democrat states that are still dyed-in-the-wool hypochondriacs.
Starting point is 00:34:41 They're still walking around with masks on. They don't even think about still walking around with masks on. They don't even think about whether or not the masks work. They just are grabbing for any kind of a security blanket that they can and putting it on their face. So I'm feeling well myself. They say it's the flu, but I think it's COVID-19. She expressed concerns about how quickly the virus circulated among humans this time, saying her son, her daughter-in-law, and their school--aged daughter have all fallen sick the authorities are concealing the scale of the outbreak i mean haven't you had years when everybody's getting cold and flu everybody
Starting point is 00:35:16 that you know does that mean that it's uh something's going to kill us all the national health commission there in China, the officials reiterated their previous assessment, saying the scale and the intensity of the spread of the respiratory infectious diseases this year is lower than it was during previous winter seasons. You see, very much like the climate MacGuffin, you get people so afraid, so packed with fear, and so invested in this mcguffin that they imagine that everything
Starting point is 00:35:49 that happens is part of it oh well we we got it's hot well it's climate change it's cold it's climate change it's global warming and we're all gonna die right same thing here wilson says if they had reported higher cases they'd be using that as proof of COVID. Yeah, that's right. Just like the temperatures. Temperatures go up, temperatures go down, we're all going to die. Either way. Now they're reporting lower cases.
Starting point is 00:36:13 That's also proof of COVID. That's what he said too. He wrote this up. I said it. He read my mind here. It was like climate change. Imagine how scary it would be if nobody got sick. Or if the temperatures stayed essentially the same which they have uh yeah we all see that don't we yeah you see what they want you to see you know is that other um hitchcock film gaslight besides mcguffin is gaslight these people uh they've read his books you forget about sun
Starting point is 00:36:52 shu it's alfred hitchcock you need to pay attention to it remains unclear how many people were infected with the influenza virus or covet 19 this year says epic times the cdc the chinese cdc reported one and a half million influenza cases last december or COVID-19 this year, says Epic Times. The CDC, the Chinese CDC, reported one and a half million influenza cases last December, leading to seven deaths. Seven people out of one and a half billion. And as Gerald Slinty had said in Trends Journal back in 2020, the very beginning,
Starting point is 00:37:22 four people dead and 1. million billion still alive in China. But we have to shut everything down. Right. By the way, if you can get 10% off at trends journal, he saw this spotted this from the very beginning. So did I. But, you know, you can get trends journal. Excellent publication.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Gerald's not on this week, but you get 10% off with the code NIGHT. And it really is a valuable resource. So, you know, out of 1.4 billion people, they said they had 1.5 million flu cases. So that's one out of every 1,000 people. And then out of that, they said, well, we had seven deaths out of one and a half million cases. We're starting to get to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere here with this. We're all going to die. And so it's clear that the mortality rate is being underreported, they said.
Starting point is 00:38:24 So there you go. This is a lab director of the viral disease branch of the U.S. Walter Reed Army Institute Research telling this to Epoch Times. Maybe this is why this story was written. Maybe you got some guy in the military industrial complex because you know this whole thing was a military operation. Operation Warp Speed was a military attack against us. It wasn't just medical martial law.
Starting point is 00:38:49 They used medical issues to do martial law on us. And it was developed in conjunction with DARPA and the rest of these people long before the real bioweapon, the vaccine, of course, long before any of this stuff rolled out. And they delivered it for people. So maybe it's this lab director at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. It came from the lab. The lies.
Starting point is 00:39:15 The lies came from the lab. And so he gets on the phone, perhaps, just guessing here. But since this is one of their named sources here, the experts who say that China's not telling us how bad this really is, it's coming from somebody at the Army lab of bioweapons. Pushing fear of a new pandemic. And he says, well, the official tally means that for every 100,000 people who contracted the flu in China, only one has died. No, actually, if you do the math, it's like one out of every 234,000 people.
Starting point is 00:39:51 But he says, in the United States, we have five to 10 people out of every 10,000 individuals face fatal outcomes with the flu. So why did we shut down everything i mean that's something that happens all the time right we talked about that it's as bad but you know flu is one of the very common causes of death when you're older you have other complications and those are the people who were dying until we put out the bioweapon and now we've got children dying of heart attacks given china's high level of air pollution and the large number of smokers hear that that's what john rapaport said at the very beginning he said you look at wuhan it's one of the most air polluted cities on earth and you're going to tell me that you've got some
Starting point is 00:40:39 gain of function uh respiratory illness or maybe it's just that right so this guy um who is um working at the army hospital and this is the core of why they did the story somebody gets on the phone calls up epic times and says hey we got some china's lying to us about this and it's like oh yeah we hate china so let's um let's put this story out i'm sure that's true i'm gonna go with whatever the army tells me so he says given the number of people with the underlying respiratory diseases in china is supposed to be substantial so the death toll from influenza is likely much higher than reported so you might want to do a story on this. So they recall that during previous COVID-19 outbreaks, there was often a noticeable gap between official numbers and the accounts of the frontline workers, the crematorium staff, and the residents on the ground.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yeah, we saw that as well in New York. And guess what? It was flowing the other way remember how they made a big deal of hey they're burying people in central park and they find out no that wasn't they retracted that but that you know it's on like page 45 of the newspaper their attraction after that lie had gone around the world. The hospitals were empty. The hospital ships go home from New York and L.A. Franklin Graham's Samaritan purse hospital beds go away.
Starting point is 00:42:17 The 2,500 hospital beds that Trump went away. And they're all silent about it. You know, Donald Trump never said, well, I'm glad that it's not as bad as I thought it was. No, he continued the masquerade, didn't he? Yeah. And they're now continuing the masquerade with this. A man working in the industrial hub of Guangdong said he didn't travel back home for the Chinese New Year because he'd heard rumors that things were bad back home. So he said, I decided not to go.
Starting point is 00:42:42 This is all a bunch of rumors and fear. And he said it's still caused by covet 19 the hospitals are full many passed away recently and the crematorium is busy you know just like in new york oh we don't have enough facilities and to handle all the dead bodies yeah right so we got to bury them in central park uh showers and sentiment that's the guy's name was echoed by a dancing teacher in beijing she's just looking for a gig as a dancing tiktoker no she was actually skeptical she said well i think it might be the vaccines that they're putting out that are making people sick they say it's just flu but after taking the flu medications their symptoms haven't improved at all we've seen that
Starting point is 00:43:23 for years decades as a matter of fact, for decades. The people who got sick were the ones who took the flu shot. The flu shot made them sick. Now the flu shot is killing people. As a matter of fact, J.D. Vance's 12-year-old relative was denied a heart transplant because she's not vaccinated against COVID and against the flu and against everything else that the hospital can think of. I've got a long list of things from the pharmaceutical companies, and they want you to take all of these things before they will give you a heart transplant.
Starting point is 00:43:55 She's 12 years old. This is a family. They have 11 or 12 kids. Four of them are biological, and they've adopted the rest, and a lot of them are Asian. This young girl is Asian, and she has a defective heart. But they refused to put her on the waiting list because of her vaccination status. Do you think J.D. Vance cares?
Starting point is 00:44:20 I mean, he's working with the mRNA people. He's part of the big tech bros. Musk has got his hands in CureVac, working with the mRNA people. He's part of the big tech bros. Yeah. Musk has got his hands in CureVac, dead from the very beginning, a facility to create mRNA. You know, I've got a little manufacturing thing here for mRNA. You might want to use it. You've got Rama Slimy. He's running for governor of Ohio.
Starting point is 00:44:44 He's involved in all this. You've got Vance. He's involved in the mRNA as well. And as a matter of fact, a more dangerous form of it. You know, I had friends who said, well, that's good. I watched that movie about J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy. We saw it. We really liked that.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And after he got the vice presidential nomination, we watched it again after he got nominated. He's one of us. I said, no, he's not. I said, he was. He's not anymore. He's with them. He's with the Technate. He's with Teal and Musk and all the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:45:29 He's doing mRNA vaccines as well. Self-amplifying versions of it. How much worse is that? He's not with us. He changed sides. Everybody wants to believe that, oh, look, Trump reinvented himself. He used to want to put trainees in his beauty contest, and now he's banning trainees in schools or whatever. Why is he doing that? Has he had a change of heart? Or is he just telling you whatever you want to hear? When you see people that are taking radically, you know, they switch from one extreme position to the other extreme position, you might want to ask yourself if any of this stuff is real or if they're just telling you what you want to hear. So this young girl, Adeline, has not had any vaccinations as they conflict with her family's religious belief. They're Christians. They've adopted like seven or eight children.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Her mother said, when I heard this, I thought, wow. So it's not about the kid and it's not about saving her life. Like the war in Ukraine, it's about money. It's always about money. I heard a wise man say once, the love of money is the root of all evil. Yeah, Jesus said that, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:47:03 I think he's right. These people will bow to their master, to the pharmaceutical companies, just like Trump bows to them when they pay him. She says, I know I can't put this vaccine in her body, knowing what we know and how we feel about it. So have we heard anything from J.D. Vance about his cousin? Distant cousin, but does he care about this stuff nah have we heard anything about palestine ohio lately nah as a listener yesterday reminded us
Starting point is 00:47:31 so the daily mail says research has indicated that transplant recipients are at a higher risk of dying from covid when compared to non-transplant patients. Prove it. What research? You cite any research? No, you're just repeating talking points. That's an absolute lie. An absolute lie. People who have heart disease, they want them to get a vaccine that causes heart disease.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Think about that. Yeah, we're going to, you know, this creates myocarditis and pericarditis and heart attacks in children that we've never seen before. But we're going to require this child to get it before we give them a new heart. Not about their life at all. Along with COVID, transplant patients have to also receive vaccines for measles, for mumps, for rubella, you know, for all of that stuff. Because, you know, it's just going around you have to get the shot the vaccinations are so important yeah this is
Starting point is 00:48:32 really going around now they have to get their shot have to get their shots you you can't have any medical treatment unless you get that shot uh she has 12 children yeah eight who are adopted and so they're looking to take her somewhere else to try to get some treatment for her. Meanwhile, there is one politician in Ohio, not Rama Slimy, not J.D. Vance, certainly not DeWine, who was telling people, hey, you feel lucky? You might win a million dollars if you take the shot. Of course, you might die. But, hey, you know, step right up. Take your chances here.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Ohio Representative Jennifer Gross is co-sponsoring legislation that will prevent Ohio hospitals from continuing to discriminate against children based on vaccination status. Because it's not just about the transplants. And I know, I hear people out there who have real concerns about transplants. They push people into this. They are so eager to get the organs that they play games with brain death and all the rest of this. I know, I've talked about that many times.
Starting point is 00:49:42 But the principle here is that they say, we've got something here that can save your life, but we're not going to give it to you unless you take the vaccine. That's the point of all this. It's not about transplant versus non-transplant or the evil that is inherent in the whole transplant system. So this Ohio state representative says, I'm proud to be the sponsor of an Ohio bill that seeks to prevent discrimination against religious liberty because it's all treatments, folks. It's all treatment. But, of course, J.D. Vance is not going to get involved in this. Rama Slimy is not going to get involved in this. How could Rama Slimy and J.D. Vance get involved in this to say we're going to let people not have the vaccine? I don't want to draw attention to people who are concerned about the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:50:31 They want to sell you self-amplifying mRNA. So Jensen, who offered this bill, is working with Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom to support the bill, said, I'm so hopeful that this bill will save all the other children and adults so they don't have to go through Adeline's, what Adeline has had to go through. It's 2026, 2025, and it's time to move on from all of this madness. It is. And yet they want to keep. The word for the day is clawing it back.
Starting point is 00:51:04 They want to claw back the pandemic. And moving on is not the concern of the Trump administration. Not moving on from all this stuff. Have you heard any reforms about that talked about? No. The People's Vaccine Inquiry. This is happening in the UK. The government ran its own inquiry and they were so
Starting point is 00:51:25 disgusted with the fact that it was a cover-up and it always is well you talk about the uh the jfk commission where you talk about the 9-11 commission all of these commissions are there to bury the truth and so on the first day of the long-awaited Module 4 of the UK COVID Inquiry, it became clear that the inquiry was going to do everything it could to bury evidence that did not suit the narrative of the vaccines are safe and effective. And to continue to gaslight the many who've been vaccine injured, in response, a group of experts held a press conference to set the record straight. The group called itself the People's Vaccine Inquiry.
Starting point is 00:52:06 And so in June of 2024, when Module 4 of the government was originally due to be held but was postponed to 2025, a group of experts who were called to submit witness statements believed it was the public's interest to give immediate access to their expert testimony. So they formed the People's Vaccine Inquiry. We haven't done anything like that here in the United States, have we? It reminds me of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Starting point is 00:52:32 You had a guy who was on the grand jury there looking at it. He was asking questions. You're not supposed to ask questions. You're supposed to rubber stamp what we tell you as the truth. Hoppy Heidelberg was his name. It's an easy name to remember. So he made a real nuisance out of himself. And they kicked him off or he resigned because he wasn't getting anywhere. And he set up his own inquiry about it. And that's, people are serious. That's what needs
Starting point is 00:53:01 to happen with this. Meanwhile, the FDA lab has uncovered excess DNA contamination in COVID-19 vaccines. We've been told this over and over again. This is a basis for the Florida Surgeon General saying we don't recommend these. They're tainted. They've known this for a long time. And in Florida, they did not ban them. But they said we don't recommend them. Well, now this is a situation where you had a group of students, student researchers.
Starting point is 00:53:32 They were under supervision of FDA scientists. And what they did was they tested some of these batches. And they were sourced from a very trusted supplier affiliated with the NIAID. That is Fauci's thing. What they found was DNA contamination levels that exceeded the regulatory safety limit by anywhere from 6 to 470 times. I mean, 6 times would be astounding, wouldn't it? But they cut it up to nearly 500 times the allowed level. Now, this has been known.
Starting point is 00:54:12 As I said, Latipo in Florida said we need to stop this because of this. There's been a lot of reports about it, and yet here it is again. And now we have some quantitative numbers on it, between six and 470 times the limit. FDA is supposed to pull this stuff off. I remember in the last couple of weeks, I might have mentioned it, but I've seen it now a couple of times. Once was with potato chips, and I forget what the other one was. The headline was, deadly product recalled.
Starting point is 00:54:43 An unlabeled ingredient, and it could cause instant death i thought what the world is that i look at it and it says uh we found milk inside some of the potato chips and it wasn't labeled that way so anybody who has a milk allergy could die and i know that is very serious but um you know it's supposed to say contains milk or whatever and it and it was contaminated with milk which is in and of itself not bad for most people this is something that is new really uh never had heard of it but we didn't have a friend who had a daughter who had a severe milk allergy and it was life-threatening if she got it. And I'd never heard of that before.
Starting point is 00:55:31 All of this stuff, just like autism, is coming to us courtesy of the big pharmaceutical companies. Never heard of this in my lifetime. And I think the massive, the broad spread of peanut allergies is part of that as well. All these different allergies to things. But she was so sensitive to milk and she'd been so sick from getting milk at certain times she could smell milk uh if it was in any food i mean she'd you know do it no no it's got milk in it it's like yeah she's right it's got milk in it well you know maybe um you know i understand the issue but the way it was reported by the press it's got this uh ingredient that's not reported that could kill you. But they're
Starting point is 00:56:06 not concerned about DNA scraps that are up to 500 times the legal limit. They won't pull the product off the market, and they are supposed to. By their own regulations, they just ignore it. That's why I said FDA means free to do anything if you're Pfizer or Moderna or some of these others. So what they did was they did two different types of analyses. They did a nanodrop analysis. They said this technique uses UV spectrometry to measure the combined levels of DNA and RNA in the vaccine, while it provides an initial assessment, it tends to overestimate DNA concentrations due to interference from RNA, even when RNA removal kits are utilized. So then they did a second analysis, a qubit analysis.
Starting point is 00:56:54 For more precise measurements, the researchers relied on the qubit system, which quantifies double-stranded DNA using fluorometric dye. Well, I'll tell you what they're saying it is. Of course, that doesn't mean anything to most of us. But the bottom line is that they've got two different methods that they use. One of them will show a higher number, and the other one will show a lesser number. And that's why you have the range of anywhere from 6 to 470. But even if it was the
Starting point is 00:57:25 lowest one at six it ought to be pulled because it's not it's six times that is 600 percent over you know what they're supposed to these findings align with early reports from independent labs in the u.s canada australia germany and fr France. So Kevin McKiernan, a former director of the Human Genome Project, described the findings as bombshell and criticized the FDA for its lack of action. These findings are significant not just for what they reveal, but for what they suggest has been concealed from public scrutiny. Why has the FDA kept these data under wraps?
Starting point is 00:58:04 Money. Money. Money. When is Musk going to do the deep data dive on the FDA and the CDC and the NIAID and the rest of these? Have they not talked about that? It's not their first priority, is it? McKernan highlighted another potential cancer-causing mechanism of DNA contamination in the vaccines. He said plasmid DNA fragments entering the cell's cytoplasm with the help of lipid nanoparticles could overstimulate the C-gas sting pathway, whatever that is. But he says that could cause you to have cancer this might be the
Starting point is 00:58:47 mechanism by which they have turbo cancer he says to assert that the dna fragments are non-functional they would need to transfect mammalian cells and perform sequencing which wasn't done here oh in other words they need to do some actual science. You know, let's isolate things. Let's give this to, let's isolate it, and then we can give it to one group and then not give it to the other group. No, they don't do any of that stuff with the vaccines. They don't do any of that stuff with the virus either.
Starting point is 00:59:18 That's why I don't believe that there was even a virus. They didn't do any of this. And so there is no testing. There is no science to stop a quote-unquote virus, which was never isolated. Moreover, the methods used in this study don't effectively capture the full length of DNA fragments. That's the other part of it. When they do these PCR tests, they haven't isolated the virus, so they're just imagining what it would be. And they're not even looking at the full DNA sequence of the imagined virus.
Starting point is 00:59:54 They're just looking for a small fragment of that DNA sequence. That's how ridiculous this is. That's why we need to call it bird brain flu. You have to have a bird brain in order to believe what they're doing a more rigorous sequencing analysis could reveal sv40 fragments several thousand pair base pairs along which would likely still be functional he said so again we're only looking for the portion of a purported DNA strand that was never isolated in the first place. But we're told that it escaped from the lab.
Starting point is 01:00:30 No, it was the Trump shot that escaped from the lab. And these people in the lab are not doing any science at all. And they don't care what's in the bioweapon. The irony is striking. He said these students performed essential work that the regulators failed to do. Imagine that. How did that happen? Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:50 And again, notice that Doge has not looked at the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the NIAID. Not interested in them yet, right? A German startup with ties to the gates foundation has been awarded five million dollars to develop nasal mrna vaccines they want to shoot them in your arms they want to shoot them up your nose and a spray they want to put it in your food that's what this bird brain flu stuff is really about i think spray dried rna vaccines that are suitable for mucosal delivery. So the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations,
Starting point is 01:01:30 that's CEPI, they get lots of Gates money. And so they gave money to them, but Gates has in the past given them money as well, the Gates Foundation. So they've gotten $5 million from the Gates Foundation and another $5 million from the organization that he funds, CEPI, the other one.
Starting point is 01:01:47 The nasal vaccines would use spray-dried technology that is also used in asthma inhalers. Whoa, stop right there. Weren't we told that we had to get rid of asthma inhalers because of climate change? We just let people die because they can't breathe because of that. But so you can't have anything that's going to let you breathe again it's going to open up your pathways because you know that could affect the climate but we're going to do this now with um mrna we will do inhalers for mrna but not for asthma relief yeah tell me that they don't want to kill us. I got you. When I put that in the title, they shut my stuff down.
Starting point is 01:02:28 So anyway, the vaccine would remain stable at room temperature, which would eliminate the need for cold chain logistics as being used for mRNA vaccines. Because you don't want to have, as it warms up, you don't want to have what happened with two million doses and two separate shipments to japan where they got warmed up and they started noting noticing this little black particulates that kind of came out of it and they reacted with magnets so they reported that but they also threw them away so you don't want to have that happen you know it's kind of it's kind of hard to cover that up but they were successful in doing it i mean there's a few places that reported it and then the story went away but um yeah if you don't keep it cold evidently what happens is some stuff
Starting point is 01:03:17 precipitates out of it is it nanotech what is it it? I don't know. But it reacts with magnets. Nasal vaccines are not new. They said in 2003, the FDA approved FluMist, a nasal vaccine targeting flu virus subtypes A and B. FluMist does not use mRNA technology, but like everything else they do, it gets people sick. It creates its own problems, and it doesn't make a difference for people getting flu. In 2016, FluMist, now acquired by AstraZeneca, was pulled off the U.S. market because it was ineffective. And then in 2018, two years later, the FDA again approved the vaccine. And in September 2024, the FDA approved FluMist for at-home administration. VAERS data, so it's not effective. And it's also not safe. VAERS data shows that
Starting point is 01:04:14 11,121 adverse events have been reported following the administration of FluMist products, including 947 that were classified as serious. About half of the reports were for children 17 and under. A 2011 Harvard study, of course, found that only 1% of adverse events are even reported to VAERS. And so 11,000 reported in just a short period of time that it was on the market. And that's not even the mRNA version. That's just flu mist. So that story is from Children's Health Defense.
Starting point is 01:04:53 So Whistler says, great name. I can't wait to snort some flu mist. You want the flu? Take this flu mist because that's the way this stuff works. You take that and you always get sick with the flu. How many times have we seen these virtue signaling celebrities in the years before COVID rolling up their sleeves and telling their audience, look, I'm getting my flu shot this year. You should all get your flu shot. And then where are they?
Starting point is 01:05:19 Well, they're home sick with the flu the next couple of days. Right. Matthew Ronson says flu is bad, but call it COVID, and it's a deadly plague. A nearly certain death, yeah. Atomic Dog says, yes, David, I keep telling my wife that there are so many hypochondriacs now since COVID, every sniffle they run to the doctor. Yeah, and give me my PCR test. You found what? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Go kill all the chickens. Chevkin, my cousin hung up on me last week because I called COVID fake. I know the feeling. Believe me, I know the feeling. Fear shuts down thinking, says Sflow818. Jason Barker, good to see you, Jason. Nice of the storm. He says, my neighbor ran over a squirrel, and I had it sent off for testing to determine if it's bird flu or COVID.
Starting point is 01:06:11 I'm awaiting the results. Yeah. Jerry Alitalo says, it's extremely distressing to understand there are likely millions and millions of people who can't wait to get their cancer curing mrna injections yeah made just for you and who was it that did that again you know i mean i told people about trump i i was looking at um by the way we fixed on our website we had some podcasts that uh we're no longer on some of them. Well one of them we used to be on Google player But then Google players now on YouTube, so we're gone from there. They don't like me on YouTube and Then there were some other places that we were that were not listed on the website like we're on Amazon most people listen on
Starting point is 01:06:59 Apple iTunes but Anyway, so we updated that and as I was checking to see where we were and where we weren't i noticed a comment from some guy and he says and this is from march of last year david is always talking about trump i don't know why i would talk about he says he's always talking about trump and alex jones and jesus and like yeah, I'm trying to save you. I'm trying to warn you about the things, the people that are trying to kill you,
Starting point is 01:07:31 and I'm trying to point you to the savior. Trump and Alex aren't your savior, you know, but this person thinks they are. They're very upset with me for talking about that. I can't understand why we'd be talking about Trump since he's like the epicenter of all the news that is out there politically. upset with me for for talking about that i can't understand why we'd be talking about trump since he's like the epicenter of all the news that is out there politically it's unavoidable because he's such an agent of chaos but he was standing there you know i'd warn people i said you know
Starting point is 01:07:56 trump is coming coming back shut up leave him alone you know back in in 2021 leave him alone he's finished, right? He's not finished. He's coming back. And so even when I'm right about that, I get hammered with that because we know that he's a good guy, don't we? And he would never do the kind of stuff
Starting point is 01:08:19 that he did in 2020. It was either he was playing everybody with 4d chess or he was being played but either way he's our savior and so what does he do after he's in office for just a couple of days he holds a conference to push mrna vaccines again can't they see this i know you see it or you would have turned me off by now i just can't you know to me it was just mind-blowing here he is he's holding a conference talking about how they're going to set up custom mrna vaccines and then cure you of cancer when we've been talking for years about how
Starting point is 01:08:57 we've got turbo cancer from it and the same news organizations and i'm I'm going to call them con media, the conservative media. It's a con. Just like the liberal media. You know, we need to not call them liberals. We need to call them the libel media. You know, because whatever you do, they call you a terrorist, an insurrectionist, a racist, or whatever. They're just libel. They're not liberal.
Starting point is 01:09:24 They're libels. But the conservative media is there to con you. And so they're going to talk about all this bad stuff, but then they're going to tell you that Trump is your savior, that Trump is real, and they're going to tell you that the pandemic was real because they're paving the way for Trump to do what he's going to do again. And they're doing it for money.
Starting point is 01:09:47 They're doing it for the love of money. Same reason we have these wars. Audi, Modern Retro Radio, good to see you. So he says, so Musk and Trump see no need to look into the CDC, the FDA, the NIH. Very interesting, but stupid. That's exactly what this whole stuff is about well we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ Thank you. Defending the American Dream. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Well, Brian and Deb McCartney said, David, have you seen the cream delivery for vaccines? No, I haven't. Maybe that's why they're coming after raw milk i don't know i haven't seen that uh yeah i've got something on that send it to me uh jason barker nights of storm one of the rare side effects of the flu shot is death people don't know that it's actually listed but nobody reads it yeah when you look at the um the like I said, Whistler was injured with an antibiotic. My mother was injured with an antibiotic.
Starting point is 01:13:31 She had a massive stroke, and it was caused by the antibiotic. And when you look at it, it does list that as one of the many things. And when we went in to try to get some natural supplements to try to help Whistler. There's a couple of young girls at this small pharmacy. And we were asking for several different things. And said, you know, what is it that you're trying to do, just out of curiosity? So we told them. And one of them was a pharmacist, and they were both surprised.
Starting point is 01:14:15 But the one who was checking us out with what we were able to find, she said, Yeah, you know, I just don't even want to read the list of things that can happen. I was like, Really? You better read it. You better read it. You better believe it. Because they don't put that stuff on there unless there is a strong correlation for a lot of people. I mean, they don't, out of overabundance, put something in there. They put that in there reluctantly.
Starting point is 01:14:40 And mainly, they're counting on us not to read it. That's the key thing. So let's take a look at what is happening with the news here. We have, hang on just one second. As I said before, we had massive moves towards peace. But the key issue, we're going to be talking to Tony pretty soon about this is going to be inflation. And everybody's talking about inflation.
Starting point is 01:15:10 They're talking about the supply chain disruption. And you've got Costco and a lot of other large chains are putting people on basically rationing eggs. You can only buy this many at a time. But the egg prices went up 15% just in January. Now, that's not on Trump. That's on Biden. And we know what the basis of that is,
Starting point is 01:15:31 but wouldn't that be the first thing that you would do is to either stop that? I don't know. That'd be the first thing I would do. It's pretty easy. It doesn't require any money to stop the USDA. As a matter of fact, just shut them down completely, but you could at least stop their murder,
Starting point is 01:15:46 wholesale slaughter, literally, of birds. And so this is a story, CBS, and they say egg prices shot up 15% in January as retailers are limiting customer purchases. And they say, so why are eggs so expensive? Well, here is CBS's answer. The price spike in eggs is largely driven by bird flu, which continues to hit farms and wipe out flocks. Is that what's happening?
Starting point is 01:16:11 Bird flu is not killing 10, 15, actually it's like 13 million, 14 million a month. That's not bird flu killing them. That's the USDA killing them. They come in and they get one bird that has a false flag PCR test. And on the basis of that, they kill all the birds. And they're killing 13 million, 14 million a month. Last couple of months. It's not bird flu that's killing them.
Starting point is 01:16:39 It's the USDA. Come on. Bird brain. If you don't have a bird, you don't have an egg they said i guess cbs is talking to really stupid people really is that where the eggs come from they come from a bird that was uh that was uh somebody told that to their c News reporter, Andres Gutierrez. The millions of egg-laying hens killed by avian flu. No, they're killed by the USDA.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Can't be replaced easily and quickly. High egg prices are due to the avian flu issue. No, they're due to the USDA issue, which is cutting the supply of available eggs for sale yeah this is uh bird flu for dummies you'll soon see that uh that book on the shelf so when will egg prices drop well now they go to the u.s of Agriculture, which is appropriate since they're the ones killing all the birds for no reason. Again, if it was, let's say that it's a virus, and let's say that it's got a high case fatality rate, maybe it's going to kill 40, 50% of the birds that are there. Remember, Rod Redfield was trying to scare us.
Starting point is 01:18:01 He said, you know, it's just inevitable before this bird flu transmogrifies into a human virus. And when that happens, I know it's going to kill 25 to 50% of the humans. So be afraid. Okay. If that's a scary number, how does he know any of that? Well, he doesn't. He's just making it up, obviously, but it was reported everywhere. Look at this. It's coming and it's going to kill 25 to 50% of the people who get sick with it. So that's a big, that's a very dangerous situation, isn't it? According to their paradigm, you've got a virus, and if you get that virus, you get the cooties, 25% to 50% of you are going to die. Well, let's say that's the situation with birds. So then why are you killing 100% of the birds?
Starting point is 01:18:43 When you've got only one bird that's got a PCR false flag? Why are you killing all of them? Well, we know why. So the USDA says egg prices are expected to rise a total of 20% in 2025. That's what they're aiming for. Two things have to happen for prices to ease, according to the USDA. The U.S. must contain the bird flu and older chickens that are past their productive primes, as well as diseased chickens have to be replaced.
Starting point is 01:19:17 Exactly how long all of this will take is uncertain, says the USDA. How long would it take to get rid of the USDA? Should be able to do it in an afternoon, wouldn't you think? I wouldn't be surprised, said one of their experts, to see prices continue to go up because we continue to have outbreaks. No, I wouldn't be surprised to see the prices go up because we continue to have USDA. And we continue to have the mockingbird flu because you know it's whatever the government
Starting point is 01:19:49 says it is we're just going to repeat it uh biden's parting legacy says zero hedge is the most expensive breakfast ever you see it's biden it's biden uh it's not the USDA. It's just Biden. It's partisan politics from zero hedge. This is what you can expect from the con media that's trying to con you and all this stuff. Don't worry. Everything's fine now. We're going to get it under control because Trump is there. No, if the USDA stays, they're going to continue to kill birds and everything is going to continue to get worse. And they're going to do the same thing with cattle and they're going to do the same thing with dairy. And nobody wants to point out the fact that the C40 agenda, all these cities, Bloomberg,
Starting point is 01:20:37 Sadiq Khan, the UN, they want to make sure that we don't have milk and dairy. This is the way you do it. They want to make sure we don't have farms. They want to make sure that the farms that do exist are going to be owned by the technate and that they are going to put the mrna in our food as well not just in the nasal spray we just witnessed the largest monthly jump in the price of breakfast ever says zero hedge and so um you know the uh but it's all biden's fault it's not the usda so the problem's been taken care of biden is gone even though the usda remains biden is gone and so the problem is taken care of the cost of a decent meal to start the day eggs bacon cheese bread and coffee rose
Starting point is 01:21:21 over 50 percent mainly due to the cost of eggs, they said. And so they're not going to talk about the real issue. And then here's the other issue that's on its way to be inflationary. And that is the tariffs. And it's not just the Canadian and Mexican tariffs that he scared everybody with, but now he's put tariffs on steel and aluminum. And so the automobile industry, in a meeting that they were having, they were speaking at Wolf Research Conference on Tuesday. And so you have the CEO of Ford,
Starting point is 01:21:58 the CEO of GM, and the two American car companies that are left. They said, we're looking at costs and chaos. That's what the Ford CEO said. He said the Trump tariffs will, quote, blow a hole, unquote, in the auto industry. So he said, whether we're targeting neighbors like Canada, Mexico, raw materials like steel and aluminum, it's going to wreak havoc on the car industry. He said, let's be real wreak havoc on the car industry. He said, let's be real, honest, long-term, a 25% tariff across Mexico and Canadian borders will blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we have never seen, said Farley, the CEO of Ford.
Starting point is 01:22:36 The tariffs on steel and aluminum also tax the very materials that cars are built from. GM executives at the same event admitted that they are scrambling to soften the blow. CEO Mary Barra told investors they could only, quote, mitigate 30 to 50 percent of tariffs without deploying capital. The CEO of Anderson Economic Group said the tariffs could deliver, quote, a triple whammy for the auto industry and could hammer states, economies and states like Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. They said, we are scrambling to manage the company as professionals, and we are in a
Starting point is 01:23:12 global race. You see, by changing from Biden or Lala to Trump, what they do is they still continue to attack the automobile industry. They just do it in a different way. But the goal is to get rid of private cars. Because we've got people, as I showed you yesterday, Elon Musk wants to make sure that we all rent our rides from him. We rent our cars, our transportation, by the ride from Elon Musk. That has been in the works for the longest time.
Starting point is 01:23:47 That you will not buy a car. You'll not even rent a car. You'll rent the ride. And you'll rent it from people like Elon Musk. And so Trump has got his own new spin. Isn't it interesting? The Democrats will attack from this direction and the Republicans will attack from that direction, but they always have the same end goal.
Starting point is 01:24:07 And that's what this is, to get rid of the private car. So we can all be grateful and feel a sense of relief, can't we, that Tulsi Gabbard was approved yesterday by the Senate. And the only thing that the media wants to talk about is how that evil guy, Mitch McConnell, was the only Republican to vote against her. Shame on him. And they don't want to talk about her World Economic Forum issue. They don't want to talk about actually what she does in the military.
Starting point is 01:24:38 They don't want to talk about her connections with this Hindu government that is a radical terrorist government murdering Christians en masse. No, we should all just be so grateful that Tulsi Gabbard is now going to be Director of National Intelligence. Mr. President, first and foremost, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the trust that you have placed in me to fulfill this critical position as director of national intelligence at any time, but specifically during this time. Unfortunately, the American people have very little trust in you. Whatever that is. Is that so that they survive and we die? election to refocus our intelligence community by empowering the great patriots who have chosen to serve our country in this way and focus on ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. As you've said, Mr. President, this is what I've dedicated my life to,
Starting point is 01:25:56 and it is truly humbling to be in this position, to serve in your administration, help to rebuild that trust, and ultimately to keep the American people safe. Last thing I'll mention that in your National Prayer Breakfast speech, you made a statement about your legacy of wanting to be remembered as a peacemaker. I know that I can speak for many of my fellow service members who are here today, veterans, Medal of Honor recipients, how deeply that resonates with us. For those who volunteer to put their lives on the line when duty calls,
Starting point is 01:26:32 but to have a president, commander in chief who recognizes the cost of that sacrifice and ensuring that war is the last resort, not the first. So thank you for your leadership on behalf of my friends here and all who wear the uniform. We're grateful. Thank you. Well, spoken like a real World Economic Forum young leader there,
Starting point is 01:26:55 which is what she is. And it was right after the prayer breakfast. At the prayer breakfast, did they talk anything about the people who are being burned alive in India by her friends and the radical Indian government and Modi, who's going to be there today? Isn't that interesting timing that they get her in there? Well, her purpose is to restore trust in the intelligence agency.
Starting point is 01:27:21 You will never restore my trust in the intelligence agency. Anybody that understands what these intelligence agencies about should never trust them but that's her job that's her pr assignment she's going to be the person who's going to restore trust the person who as a lieutenant colonel in the reserves is a specialist in psyops she is a psyop she poses with pictures where she you know does the triangle thing and puts that out on profiles and stuff very deliberate you know a lot of people saying well look you know musk is standing there and he's talking and he's doing his hands like this and kind of making a i don't know if that's deliberate or not but i know that she did that
Starting point is 01:28:01 deliberately well she's what she's trying to send to us as a message? This is somebody who was a Bernie Sanders supporter. And a strong Bernie Sanders supporter. And yet, all conservative media can talk about is the fact that that dastardly Mitch McConnell. And I agree. I mean, I think he's a scoundrel. He's absolutely a scoundrel. You know, most of these guys, instead of calling him a senator, we ought to call him Sinister.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Sinister McConnell. This is a guy who has betrayed his country over and over again. You know, from whether it's the treaties like the Paris Climate Accord that he never called a vote for. But, I mean, I could just go on and on about all the betrayals that Mitch McConnell has done to our country. But this is the one that really gets the conservative media going. By the way, take an anagram of senator and what can you get out of it? Treason. That certainly applies to Mitch.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Gabbard, a Democrat-turned-Republican, supports President Trump. Well, there you go. Also a Democrat-turned-Republican. Or maybe they're just both still Democrats. Maybe they're both still connected to the World Economic Forum. Her previous opposition
Starting point is 01:29:21 to renewing a key government surveillance authority. These are the things that made it an uphill climb for her, according to CBS News, was her previous opposition to renewing a key government surveillance authority. Well, what was that? And why should the government be doing surveillance on us? Right. But it's previous. She now is on board with that. That's section 702. And so she made board with that. That's Section 702.
Starting point is 01:29:47 And so she made that clear that she was caving on that. Look, Tulsi Gabbard is somebody who said she was pro-life. Then she wanted to get elected as a Democrat in Hawaii. So she became pro-abortion. She was against surveillance, warrantless surveillance by the NSA until she wanted to get into office and then she is now for it. And on and on, just like Trump. What is it about these people who are given a pass by the con media when they do radical about faces on things that they had hung their hat on? on look they don't have any
Starting point is 01:30:25 principles they got positions and they're constantly changing positions on things so um you know she um pushed for pardon for uh snowden so she's now walked back all of this stuff and now they're fine with her she She previously served in Congress as a Democrat. She supported socialist Bernie Sanders. But now she's good for us. She's good. And cheered by MAGA. Because they don't have any principles.
Starting point is 01:30:58 They only follow Trump. Whoever Trump wants to be. I see so many times people say, you used to be good. What happened to you? What happened to you, man? Now you're sounding like Matt Drudge or something. It's like, well, I'm not cheering the Democrats either. Matt Drudge is.
Starting point is 01:31:16 But I just want to tell them, look, I didn't board the Trump train. You're the one who boarded the Trump train. And you have no idea where this is going. No, I'm standing still. I'm standing on my principles where I always was. You're the one who's moving. You got on the Trump train and he's taking you to I know where, but you don't have any idea where it's going, do you? I'm just trying to tell the people on the Trump train that they're headed toward the concentration camps.
Starting point is 01:31:43 Because they are. I'm just standing still where i was always was what happened to you man uh well we're going to find out what happened to the economy we're going to take a quick break here and we're going to get tony arteman on the line uh we didn't have a chance to talk to tony last week so looking forward to him a lot of stuff is happening very quickly i mean it is a things are going to change very very rapidly that's why president trump is there i believe tail end of the fourth turning you know um uh weak men bring bad times that's the that's the part of the fourth generation that we're in right now and these times are going to be we're headed been headed downhill for quite some time and now we're picking up speed as we get towards the tail end of this thing so financially things are changing very very rapidly and we're going to talk to tony about that
Starting point is 01:32:35 so stay with us we will be right back ¶¶ ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. It's your move. And now, The David Knight Show. And now, Tony Ardaman is joining us of Wise Wolf Gold. And of course, you can get there through davidknight.gold. That'll let him know that you're coming through us. And it has been a whirlwind of events, hasn't it, Tony, over the last couple of weeks? It's been two weeks since we've talked to you.
Starting point is 01:34:37 And it's amazing how much things have changed. I don't remember what the price of gold was when we talked two weeks ago, but it's been setting all-time highs all the time. Where is it today? Oh, let's check really quick. I don't remember what the price of gold was when we talked two weeks ago, but it's been setting all-time highs all the time. Where is it today? Oh, let's check really quick. Spot price for gold, 2,914 Luciferian Bankster notes make a troy ounce of the yellow metal as of right now. Wow. And, of course, it's the, you know, look, 13th of February, 2025.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Look back, and I think this will be seen as the era of cheap gold, honestly, David. We've seen this continues to break out and break all-time highs. And I remind the audience, there wasn't an all-time high between 2011 and 2020. There was no all-time high, and we've broken the all-time high for gold against the dollar over 30-some-odd times in the last year alone. So this is a trend that's only going to continue. And I want to talk to you today about disappearing gold inventory around the world in different vaults. The Chinese, the Russians, the London markets, it's being re-evaluated and reallocated all over the world. It's a really interesting one. And you've talked about this for the longest time. You say, you know, we talked about the paper gold.
Starting point is 01:35:51 I read a long article earlier this week about silver, and a guy recounted his experiences. I forget what year it was, but it was right after the Great Recession. And they said, well, we want to take some delivery of silver. And what should have taken five days took us something like nine months or something, right? And he talked about the different excuses that they made. They kept putting it off and everything. But we're seeing that. And I think it was after the last time I talked to you, you and I have been talking about for the longest time about paper gold and paper silver, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and how, well, we don't really think all that
Starting point is 01:36:29 stuff is there. It doesn't seem to move and sequence with gold. When gold makes big moves, it just kind of stays the same. Sometimes it goes in a different direction. Something is weird going on here. And you said, yeah, I think we're going to find out that they don't have all this stuff. And when we find out, then that's really going to shake up the market. Well, then we had the London Metals Exchange. And, you know, they can't – a lot of stuff is being repatriated. Actually, you mentioned that two weeks ago. And you said, I'm going to break this news here, what is happening in London.
Starting point is 01:37:00 And I'm still not sure as to why so much stuff is being pulled back into New York. Has anybody come up with a motivation for that? Well, there's speculation that Trump may do another executive order overriding FDR and Nixon, returning us to some sort of gold standard. I don't believe that, by the way. But there's a lot of rumors floating around because of the flurry of executive orders and some bold moves being made. You're going to have to do something radical to stabilize the dollar as the world continues to de-dollarize. So those things might be simulated on the table.
Starting point is 01:37:38 I don't know. But that has to do with tariffs, David. This is so we always knew that something would happen some event would would trigger uh this uh exposure of paper gold versus physical gold in the bullion houses and the west has been playing a dangerous game since the late 1970s where i believe and i my i've interviewed stuart angler who wrote the the book Rigged, I do believe that the powers that be in the central banks collude with the bullion houses to ensure that the price of gold does not continually about the story with the Canadian buyer about silver, you know, after the Great Recession and how that exposed what was wrong. And if you remember, silver and gold, that's when gold reached over $1,900 an ounce. This is 2011.
Starting point is 01:38:37 And silver went up to close to its all-time high of around $50 an ounce. And that's when Ben Bernanke came out and said, oh, wait, wait, well, this is going to be calmed down. We won't do TARP again. We won't do these kind of injections. There's going to be regulation. We're going to fix all this. And the markets calmed down. And that's a long time ago. I think the debt of the U.S. around there was around $11 trillion. So it seems pretty quaint in those times. We've long since crossed the Rubicon of massive quantitative easing and currency injection. So I think what's really being exposed here, David, I think at the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:39:18 is that the bullion houses are going to see a record number of orders being sent in to say, give me my gold, and they won't be able to make it. So it's really the tariffs causing the repatriation of physical gold around the world and the uncertainty of the tariffs being placed on incoming products into the U.S., all of this is creating chaos, that little bit of chaos. And I was thinking of, you call it a black swan, you could call it a black gone event. This is where you've got Donald Trump is going to inject this chaos, and this could be the trigger that brings in the entire revaluation of precious metals. Yeah, he is a chaos agent. And isn't it interesting that he has as his treasury secretary,
Starting point is 01:40:09 the guy that was leading the effort for Soros to break the Bank of England. And so he's bringing him in as treasury secretary. It's like, hold on, it's going to be a wild ride coming up in the next couple of years, I tell you, it's amazing how quickly everything is changing. And again, he is there as an agent of chaos. I'm absolutely certain that's why they installed him. That's what it appears to be. And would we be watching this price move if it had been a different outcome in the election? I still think we'd be marching towards $3,000 an ounce gold, no problem.
Starting point is 01:40:49 It's just that the reasons are different. And it doesn't really matter. The fundamentals of what causes the price spike in precious metals are all there. We definitely can't explain silver just yet. But I think those things are about to come to a head as well because of the above ground supply doesn't meet demand. And if these the contracts for paper silver continue not to be fulfilled, all bets are off. You're no longer going to be able to see it's thirty two dollars and twenty three cents an ounce right now for silver. That's so insanely cheap given the debasement of the dollar
Starting point is 01:41:29 over the past 50 years. It's insane. And again, I remind people the all-time high for silver was $52.50 an ounce in 1980 and 52.50 in 1980 is like $300 today in purchasing power. I mean, I don't know the metric,
Starting point is 01:41:44 but it's off the charts. So, precious metals in the face of currency debasement, especially with the dollar, are still insanely cheap, even with these all-time highs. Yeah. Yeah. There was a listener who sent me a YouTube video. I mentioned it briefly. I'd like to get your comments on it. So, guy's got a channel. He calls it Silver Se seeker maybe you're familiar with it i don't know but he was at a coin show and um and i don't know if it was strictly silver if they had other stuff there but you know they're selling collectible coins but then also just selling regular rounds and things and so this guy went to all these different dealers and most of them would speak
Starting point is 01:42:22 on record on the camera but then there was another two or three that he said they didn't want to go on record, but this is what they told me. But they all said, I'm just not selling any silver. And he goes, everybody wants to sell it to me. And they're coming in and cashing in stuff. And so it's really strange. The price of silver is going down. The guy who sent it to me said, yeah, when nobody wants something that's got value, that's the time to accumulate it. What is your take on that?
Starting point is 01:42:46 Is that what you're seeing at Wise Wolf? Yes. It's absolutely bizarre. The prices are moving upward, but at the same time, the average consumer, the buyer that I normally have isn't there. And so I wonder, that doesn't support the economic theory of supply and demand, except for there is demand, and it's institutional. So that's what you got to watch. The reason, like, I've made so many trips to the trading floor, and it's been a wild ride the last 120 days. I've never seen my business like this in the entire time I've been open.
Starting point is 01:43:26 People selling to me things I normally don't buy lots of, which is like the larger silver bars. Those are for people to keep long term. When people come to me and they say, well, I want to store silver long term, I generally put them in larger bars. I'm like, well, just get as many ounces as you can for your dollar if you're not going to be using it to trade or anything like that. People are selling me a lot of that kind of stuff. And the buyers that normally are there aren't there. Now, we've had an uptick in the last couple of weeks, which has been great for individual buyers. But that is a very apt analysis of what's actually happening. I can call the big brokers. I talk to them all the time, every single day. They see the same thing. So everybody's selling and the prices are declining. The prices are going up. And so I would tell people in the audience, if you're smart, you'll
Starting point is 01:44:19 look and see, again, look at the price and then see that that has a demand. Somebody's buying it. It's banks, folks. You know, I remind JPMorgan Chase is the largest holder of silver in the world. They were convicted of suppressing the silver price. So wrap your head around that. Again, all of this is really about institutional central bank buying, whether it's silver or whether it's gold. I mean, Russia just put silver as a strategic reserve asset on the books. They're the first country to do that, really, since the Chinese were primarily the holders of silver in the 20th century, early 20th century.
Starting point is 01:45:01 So this is an interesting time. I still think that the prices are insanely low. But when you see the people not buying, and that's the problem right now with precious metals is people are selling like crazy, but somebody's buying it. And that's what I would remind people. It's something you should look at. When the big banks and the institutions are buying, you should probably think about it. And I think some of this is going to be due to the fact that individual consumers are feeling the pressure of inflation. And that's why they're cashing in on this. Even though the price is low, you have to do it if you've got to cash in so that you can pay your taxes or do other,
Starting point is 01:45:46 that's one of the things he said. Some guy came in, I asked him, why are you doing this? He says, well, I've got to pay taxes, and so I'm cashing in a bunch of silver to do that. But things are getting hard for individuals, and yet the big institutions, the big banks, they see the value that is there. And so they're profiting in other people's expenses.
Starting point is 01:46:05 I absolutely agree. And I totally understand that. And that's why my company exists. I'm happy to buy the product. I'll buy everything. That's not an issue. I just found it to be highly strange, the percentage of selling to buying that I've never seen before.
Starting point is 01:46:22 That's what caught my attention. And you are correct. There's inflation. There's economic uncertainty. People are, you know, it's harder and harder to keep up with your bills when your dollar goes, you know, buys less and less, has less and less purchasing power. I totally understand that. And that's why we're here.
Starting point is 01:46:38 And that's why, you know, I'm happy to help people out. So I wanted to add that. I mean, I'm not unhappy at buying that. I'm just, I think that people help people out. So I wanted to add that. I mean, I'm not unhappy at buying that. I'm just, I think that people might miss out. And it's one of the reasons why we have Wolfpack starting, you know, at low, getting low entry level. If you can just set something aside to accumulate precious metals, you're still going to be ahead of the average person uh really this you know where we're headed with with de-dollarization uh and the reset of the financial system it's going to get really ugly for the average person unfortunately i agree yeah dougalug says i've got a wolf pack on way to me as we speak uh angry tiger what we're
Starting point is 01:47:16 just saying he said uh people are selling their silver to make ends meet uh just like they're putting themselves in debt with credit cards yeah uh it's just you know a necessity because we were looking at how much things have gone up, eggs and all the rest of the stuff. And, of course, it's bird brain flu. It's not the USDA. These are things that are being done to us. But when we were talking about gold, what was the high that it got up to? Was it like 2960 or something like that earlier this week or somewhere around that area?
Starting point is 01:47:47 Right. Right at that, David. I've looked and, you know, you have different markets, different spot prices will give you different readings. But around that, it was reaching reach rarely close to to three thousand dollars an ounce. And I don't think that's you know this has been talked about you know city bank was calling for three thousand dollar an ounce gold back in 2021 that's right so i mean i think this is probably long overdue and we if there wasn't paper markets if there wasn't this uh sleight of hand if there wasn't like you know i mentioned we're talking about silver earlier it's estimated that for every 250 ounces of silver that's traded in the markets only one exists in the in the real world it's about 250 to one and nobody really knows what the the gold ratio is for paper but
Starting point is 01:48:40 i think that really is going to you're going to see an exposure there like i don't think they've planned on it the one thing that i don't think they counted on was anything like tariffs in the modern you know western uh liberal economies that we've all you know that we have to worship the god of free trade um by the way it's a god that failed and uh you know they have to continue to bow down to it now that all of a sudden sudden, all those bets are off because of their failures and the, you know, political upheaval. It's a variable. And it's thrown a wrench into the system. So I think this could have a cascading effect in the short term, not to mention the long term, but in the short term.
Starting point is 01:49:21 I think you'll see a run up to $3,000 an ounce gold. Silver will probably break out here very soon again not investment advice but silver will break out i think very very soon something's going to happen there will be a trigger event uh maybe deliveries not made with nation states large banks something will happen and again somebody's buying so i wonder if they're running they got to be running these simulations at some level saying, okay, well, if we accumulate here, we see the price fluctuations given, you know, two or three quarters down the road for a big reset. So that's, I would pay attention to that.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Yeah, I remember back in the fall, you know, when it was looking like, you know, Lala was getting a billion dollars all at once and the media is pouring on the the charm offensive and everything for her took a lot but uh the you know and every so they were saying well we're going to have uh gold up around uh 3 000 the first quarter next year right this year quarter. And here we are in the middle of the quarter and we, you know, kind of kissed 3,000 at 2960. And then when Trump won, everybody, okay, good. It's going to be great economic times now. We don't have to worry about any of this stuff. Plus all the crypto thing, crypto gets this massive boost because now he's going to flip the switch and they're going to go in exactly the opposite direction. Instead of attacking crypto, they're going to boost it.
Starting point is 01:50:46 And so, you know, I put that commercial together before Christmas, you know, like the Trump euphoria is there. Right. And but but as you and I were talking about, then nothing had fundamentally changed. And you've had BlackRock. He says, well, what we're doing, it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Lala or whether it's Trump. It isn't going to make any difference to what we're doing, it doesn't really make any difference whether it's La La or whether it's Trump. It isn't going to make any difference to what we're doing. The fundamentals didn't change, but it's amazing the group psychology that was based on the election. But now we're here. We are back to where the fundamentals were going to take us all along. And that is, you know, coming up to 3000.
Starting point is 01:51:21 And so as we look at this and and what is um the story in the past years has been the fact that central banks were buying gold and accumulating that a lot now the story is rapidly becoming where is the gold and uh you know who's got the gold who stole the gold uh this headline here from kitco bricks banks are bleeding gold bars. China and Russia face runaway gold demand. And then London can't find it. You know, and others. I mean, this is the story. And this is, I think, a bigger story than, you know, the underlying fundamentals that are driving it.
Starting point is 01:51:59 You know, inflation and things like that are driving people to gold. And then people can't find the gold because there's this fiction that you've been talking about. Well, I'll add to that. South Korea suspended sales of bullion. They're not part of BRICS, but this is international. And the fundamentals all existed even after the Trump election. There was a lot of selling off.
Starting point is 01:52:23 I love the commercial that you put together you know there's a there's a a sale on silver and golds of trump people for you people started selling off to get into the markets and things like crypto which is good i mean there's going to be i still there's still a crypto revolution with the question mark hanging over it i think that that could be great for for everybody however um the rest of the world still exist i would add that that's what's causing the spike in the price of gold fundamentally as you mentioned the bricks banks that's an article that's up on kitco and it's i read that this morning you know russia and china but when you read into that that article david you know what it's mentioning is that the people they're selling it to the people of those countries. That's why they're running down on inventory because everyday people and
Starting point is 01:53:10 institutions, and then of course, the Chinese just recently made it legal for the insurance companies to hold gold on their balance sheet at about 1%. These are massive moves. And when you take something like gold and physical gold, and realize that it's not as plentiful as you would believe looking at all the stuff like GLD or SLV with the paper markets and the ETFs and all the exchange traded stuff. When that is exposed, it's actually a precious metal. It's harder to find. And it's being accumulated more and more by big institutions. There's going to be a precious metal. It's harder to find, and it's being accumulated more and more by big institutions. There's going to be a supply shock. It's much like Bitcoin that's going on with the ETFs, but even more so because the people, and gold's been a part of the human story since
Starting point is 01:53:56 the beginning of time, and it always will be. So I think more and more you're going to see a re-evaluation of prices, and it has to do with the demand for physical gold. That's going to be the new thing. It's a trust factor. Yes. And I think trust around the world is diminished. This is when you talk about a fourth turning. What happens at the culmination of a fourth turning?
Starting point is 01:54:23 It's the destruction of previous institutions and their power or what power sway they had. And so that trust is waning right now. We'll be replaced by something else. As a matter of fact, I called it a few months ago. I think I was on tinfoil hat and I said, look, I'm going to go ahead and say that the dollar has already lost the world's reserve currency status. Gold is the world's reserve currency. Again, it's just just not yet. It's just on paper.
Starting point is 01:54:54 You know, you're still seeing that the dollar is the number one held asset by central banks. Gold is the number two. It supplanted the euro last year or so. Well, I just read an article and uh other analysts are saying the exact same thing they're like well the gold has already supplanted the dollar it's just a matter of time and trading and other things and balance sheet recognition of that so we're already in an era of gold absolutely and this is just you know the the all-time high of dollar against gold the train has left the station you're not going to people if you're waiting on the fence saying
Starting point is 01:55:32 well i'll just wait till we get back down to two thousand dollar an ounce gold which you know what was the price of gold when i started talking to you david let's see go but you know we should look that up it was probably uh november of 2019 was the first time I think I ever came on your show. I believe the price of gold was about $1,300 an ounce, $1,400 an ounce, something like that. I'll look it up. But it wasn't $2,920. I want to go back to what you said about South Korea. You said they stopped the sale of gold.
Starting point is 01:56:07 Exactly what did they do? Did they stop the private sales of it, or did they stop the central bank from getting rid of it? I mean, the central bank's probably not trying to get rid of it. What did they do to stop the sale of gold? It seems to be on the market, on the trading markets, it might be just with their exchange, stop the sale of bullion bars, of physical gold bars. Is it like a temporary thing? Like, you know, they put stop trade if something starts really falling or rising really quickly, the stock market might... I think that's the reason why. Wow. Because if you see a run on something and then all there's a supply shock
Starting point is 01:56:50 and the price will far exceed all the things that are in paper. See, that's another thing is these prices are going to start putting so much pressure on the paper gold. I think it's all going to come unraveled. And especially when things aren't, you can't take, they won't send delivery and they keep making excuses. There's going to be a flurry. And then that is going to cause, I think gold always comes in when there's fear and mistrust and other things. It's a compounding snowball effect and I don't think it's going to
Starting point is 01:57:20 get better. No, no. And, you know, so, you know, China had stopped accumulating gold with the central bank for about six months and now they're back in it. But as you pointed out, and I mentioned it a couple of days ago, they're now pushing insurance companies to get it and not only allowing them to get it, but pushing them to start to hold gold because I guess they're, you know, you need some insurance for the insurance companies to be able to pay this stuff off. So it truly is amazing. I got a couple of comments here uh dougal like i said 2008 gold was 700 dollars yeah yeah militant malinkovic says from my experience in working in the tech industry silver is used in a lot of things from optics to chip making that's right and and that's part of it though that you
Starting point is 01:58:02 know it is an industrial heavily used industrious metal. And if we have a recession where things start going down, that's the other component that comes into the silver market. Right. Because it is so heavily used in manufacturing. If people aren't manufacturing stuff, that's going to cut down some of the use. Right. Well, that and I would point people to a phenomenon called urban gold mining that will be going on when we hit three thousand dollar an ounce gold. There will be so many people looking for gold in their own backyards and to garage sales. You know, Karen, we just had Karen just had a tooth pulled that had gold. I buy teeth all the time.
Starting point is 01:58:47 Well, maybe we'll send that to you. It was not voluntary. It was a great deal of pain to have that thing taken out. I have people send me teeth all the time. They're like, what's that worth? Usually it's 14 to a carat or so. And you've got to account for a lot of times there's enamel and other things in it, but, you know, for the weight. But it's usually, you know, I buy teeth all the time.
Starting point is 01:59:11 A dentist has sold me teeth. It's an adventure in the gold and silver business. One of the first times somebody sold me teeth in San Antonio, I just opened my shop and they just dumped this bag. And it still had teeth on it. I was like, wow, that's crazy. So when you're down in the mouth, you can always sell that gold that's on your teeth i guess right well yeah and it's universal you know electronics uh medicine you name it a jewelry it's it's just such a part of our story so i was asked the other day like what is money and i said well money is something that holds intrinsic value outside of any economic system it has to be scarce it has to be measurable and it has to hold value in the face of everything
Starting point is 01:59:54 even an economic collapse and that's what to me that's what gold and silver are they still are used in things way beyond monetary uses so that's why the dollar or the fiat currency, aside from being truly evil, has no value. It's fake. It's a funhouse mirror version of what actual money is. And I think that experiment, since 1971, is coming to an end. I mean, it's not tomorrow, but that's why they call it a great reset. That's why every time I talk about this, it's like the super elite, the Davos set, they know this.
Starting point is 02:00:34 And, you know, Bloomberg said it best. You mention this all the time. We have to give people something, do something so they don't come after us with guillotines. Well, yeah, that's what they're doing something. They got to figure out something to reset the system us with guillotines. Well, yeah, that's what they're doing something. They got to figure out something to reset the system without getting guillotine. And that's what I think they're looking at doing. It's either return to gold or revaluation of currencies. And that's what BRICS has, I think, been doing this whole time is just accumulating things like gold for a currency reset.
Starting point is 02:01:04 I agree. I agree. I agree. Yeah, Angry Tiger talking about hard times. Said a friend of mine is a business owner and has been hoarding silver for years. He's been selling it off lately to keep his business afloat. We're getting into some hard times. Wes Robertson said central banks have been buying gold around the world and will continue to manipulate the prices.
Starting point is 02:01:24 And that's silver and gold. That's part of it. The ETF stuff is part of it. But again, you know, when that ETF scam blows, it's going to blow big. You've been talking about that for a long time. Guard Goldsmith. Good to see you, Guard, says, I'm curious to see what Tony and David think about the silver use when the solar, et cetera, gets cut back. What do you think about that?
Starting point is 02:01:45 Do you think we're going to have any solar cut back, or are they going to continue pouring money down that hole? Because it's a big, big user of silver. I think that just worldwide demand, and solar may have a huge fallback. We may see that, and that's probably more likely than not. But you still have the massive amount of demand for EVs and battery technology and other things that silver in no way, shape, or form is valued correctly. As I mention all the time, you got 200 million ounces of deficit at minimum every single year year so they have to take from the above ground
Starting point is 02:02:26 supply it's only increasing even with uh you know if they're not going to do the the green new deal or green new steel or whatever they're doing it's still it's still worldwide demand continues to rise uh for for silver which is really an industrial metal um way beyond being a monetary metal but also things like breakthroughs in medicine with silver in in our current climate i think are continuing to rise demand for that is way way up the the anti-bacterial anti-microbial stuff that's usually resistant to you know the those diseases like MRSA and other things that silver just takes care of I mean it's continued to be used and manufactured for that reason so I think I just see demand yeah if Pam Bondi can get Letitia James back in her cage we start having silver again you
Starting point is 02:03:18 know they she came after Alex and she came afterim baker i think and those are perfectly legitimate things i mean you know they use silver for um they use silver for burn units and things like that but boy she's gonna you know put you in jail i mean what a criminal she is so it's good to see her getting some of her comeuppance uh even if it's just going to be revenge not real reform but you you talked earlier so you know what is money right so let me get your thoughts on pennies what happened this week i'm the only person that i've seen out there that is looking at this in a skeptical way i mean john stossel always goes yeah i hate pennies they're a nuisance and we ought to get rid of them and i'm glad that trump did it and all the rest of this stuff and i'm
Starting point is 02:03:59 looking at it thinking i don't know is this the beginning of saying we it's too expensive and we don't want to be bothered with uh making physical money uh or you know fiat physical fiat because that's what it is it's not it's just a plug nickel and plug penny and all the rest of what's what's your thinking on this well it's sad let's start with that that's the first thing i think of when when you depart from exactitude. That's another thing. That's a philosophy in the penny. The penny is I'm getting exact change.
Starting point is 02:04:30 Yeah. You know, the movie Office Space, he talks about stealing the pennies on the transactions. That's how he gets rich, right? It's like you take the penny, like the fraction of a penny. And he uses the analogy of the trays and the penny tray at the 7-Eleven or something. I've always thought about that. So you're also departing the philosophy of exact change or exactitude, which is dangerous. It's like somebody's getting something for that.
Starting point is 02:04:56 It's like when you go into a retailer now and they always turn the screen around and you have to look at the clerk. And because they can't pay them enough, you have to tip them every time. Something like that with the loss of the penny it's going somewhere but i would remind people that since 1982 the penny's not made with copper no in 1982 and back it's kind of like the silver is 1964 and back the 1982 and back pennies are copper, if you go and look and see what's that penny worth just in copper, you can see that every website will tell you, don't melt them. It's illegal to melt them. Don't melt your pennies.
Starting point is 02:05:32 But there's copper in there. And they do that because it would start exposing what's wrong with the money. When you can melt something and it's more valuable than the face value of that coin, there's something wrong with your economy. It's like a silver quarter right now is like $7. It's like something crazy. You add that up and you face value out to like $28 face for four quarters or 10 dimes or two half dollars that are silver.
Starting point is 02:06:05 So there's something wrong when you have an economy where you can't even make a penny. I saw something the other day. We're penniless. It's like fake pennies were worth, you know, you could buy fake pennies and they were worth more than the actual pennies or something like that. That's always been a joke running around the internet. You know, I think that's sad. And, but really what it is, it's, it's a, it's the beginning of the cashless society that I think they would like to go to. You know, it starts, it starts,
Starting point is 02:06:40 it starts with the penny, you know, and that's really sad. The penny's been a big part of our history, and a lot of pennies are worth a lot of money. I mean, you can collectibles, especially the 1943 copper penny. There was accidental copper pennies made in 1943. They were supposed to be steel because of World War II, and somebody accidentally put sheets of copper into the mint. And so if you find a penny that says 1943 on it it's copper um you better go see a coin dealer yeah pinch those pennies well
Starting point is 02:07:13 you know that that's the thing is what you just said about the face value versus the intrinsic value of it uh that was the dog that didn't bark in all these different analyses you know i'm looking at john's tassel and it's like look at how much it costs to make these things. And that's what everybody was taking that same angle, which was the angle that was put out by Trump and by Musk. Look at how frugal we are and how responsible we are because it takes two or three or four cents to make a penny. So we're going to just stop that. It's like that doesn't make any sense at all. So over and over again again as you just gave
Starting point is 02:07:45 us for the history of the penny we've seen them debase it you know let's use it even a cheaper metal or this or that they'd always do something like that and of course they're debasing the currency with an inflation uh just the figures here for what happened in just the last year in 2024 you know from 2023 to 2024 the price of a penny uh went up by 20, the price of a penny went up by 20%. The price of a nickel went up by 19.4%. The dime went up by 8.7%, and the quarter went up by 26%. And so only the dime is, I believe, it doesn't say it in this article, but I think I saw it in another one, that only the dime was ahead of the actual, they could make it for less than what the face
Starting point is 02:08:30 value was. But of course, you're not going to just use these things once. That's the other part of it. But the real issue is the inflation. Why is the cost going up in just one year 20%? I mean, it's not like an egg, and we know what they're doing with the egg. They're killing their chickens. But that's the untold story that nobody wanted to talk about, the inflation, the debasement.
Starting point is 02:09:02 And then why would you not, since they've debased the currency so many times, why wouldn't you just go to some other plug metal and make it from that and keep it there? But to me, that's the real issue. And of course, the value, the fact that a lot of these people said, well, I think a penny is just a nuisance to have to keep these things around. Well, that's also an issue of inflation, but nobody really wanted to talk about the inflation. I thought that was really strange. Well, it's a tell. Yeah. You know, when something continues to rise in cost against the face value of the coin you want to make, that's the true exposure to the failure of the fiat system. It's the loss of purchasing power in your currency. It's like, well, it costs us more and more to make this. Well, does it? Is the actual base material that you're buying year over year, does it really cost that much more?
Starting point is 02:09:44 Or is it your currency that's losing value? And that's what they don't want to talk about. Somebody always figures it out. Like, wait a minute, does this cost the same? You know, as far as if you look at the, you know, dollar index, it costs the same, but something's wrong with the dollar. It's just like we see the headlines on some of these precious metal sites like, well, gold stalls on inflation data.
Starting point is 02:10:06 And then you're thinking, OK, well, I'm going to read into this and see that, you know, the inflation data came out and it was it was, you know, in reverse or something. No, people were surprised that the inflation was up after we just did quantitative easing and rate cut. And you just increase the money supply. That's what that was. Before the election, with Jerome Powell and lowering interest rates, it increased the money supply. That's what it does. That's liquidity. That's what the very definition of that is.
Starting point is 02:10:41 And so I know it's surprising,id but it didn't it caused inflation apparently and so everybody's really surprised that there's inflation with an increase in the money supply so i don't know it you know you and i can pretty much easily see this it's like we have the glasses from they live you know we just put the glasses on like well i see what you're doing here it's pretty easy to see i mean i don't have to be i I'm not the I don't I'm not an expert in any capacity I'm just a paratrooper who likes books but I look and I see there's something wrong you know when uh we're against the purchasing price of the the Fiat currency that's what the issue is and it makes me suspicious when um you know you see that uh Musk has got all the books
Starting point is 02:11:24 now of the Treasury Department all the rest of the stuff that he's getting into. But, you know, when Trump takes away even – I compared it to the bump stock. You know, the bump stock in and of itself was not important. What was important was a precedent of doing gun control by executive order, and that was seized upon. And this will be seized upon by other people and repeated. Well, it cost us 11 cents to make a nickel nickel so let's get rid of the nickels next that's uh the path that they're going and while all this is happening uh the guy who bought him uh elon musk is trying to set up uh x money and he's trying and he's doing a deal with a visa and he wants to make x
Starting point is 02:12:02 the everything platform he's got a digital wallet that he wants out there so he's doing a deal with a visa and he wants to make x the everything platform he's got a digital wallet that he wants out there so he's making big moves and all the people around him lucky lutnik and all the rest of them making big moves into digital money into crypto stuff while trump gets rid of the most you know and everybody cheers oh yeah we don't want that penny it reminds me of what i saw with the nra about the bump stock it's like yeah we're not going to fight about that you know the next thing you know you you've got a pistol brace ban. And then it's something else, right? And so it's that precedent that, to me, matters.
Starting point is 02:12:33 And, you know, Tony, I don't know what, I like your thoughts on this. We talk about the petrodollar all the time, right? Where we had the U.S. dollar connected to energy. And, of course, the technocracy has said back in the 1930s, they were saying, we don't want to deal with currencies. We don't want to deal with banks. We don't want to deal with markets. We want to deal with energy. And we're going to price everything in energy. And in a sense, the petrodollar was kind of a nod in that direction. But when you
Starting point is 02:13:02 look at CBDC, or if we go with some de facto digital money that is put out there by Musk or by some of these other technocrats, they're looking at tying it into energy usage. That's one of the key reasons that they want to go to this surveillance currency. And they all support things like carbon taxes and carbon credits and everything. So that, I mean, is that going to be the kind of the digital petrodollar, combining it with carbon credits and carbon taxes and tracking, eventually tracking what people use? What do you think? I think that would be the logical conclusion of the technocracy.
Starting point is 02:13:45 As a matter of fact, I talked about this yesterday on a show uh if you look at the the manual that was found in an ibm copier in 1986 and in a state sale silent weapons for quiet wars whether it's a real technical manual for the elite on human enslavement or you know whether it's some sort of uh copy or something it's interesting that's a true story by the way they just somebody found a copy of that and it wound up in bill cooper's book behold Behold a Pale Horse. But if you read the opening chapter, it is an esoteric breakdown of money as energy itself to keep people on the hamster wheel so that they can never actually fight back. They're so busy paying bills and so busy trying to exchanging your energy. And's more of a it's more of a a way to look at you know people as cogs in a machine but the energy you know again there will be energy shortages all the rest of that time you know tying currency to energy i think be a perfect way
Starting point is 02:14:36 uh to continue to control you and of course you could sell it as well we're going to back it by what powers us well that's that's interesting. You know, there's a lot of open questions above, you know, what they're going to do next on CBDC. I still have my eye on that ball, by the way. I never took it off. I don't believe any of this. That's right. Yeah, they're just going to rebrand it and bring it back in a different way. You know, it'll be kind of a public-private partnership rather than Biden coming at you and right in your face, wearing his uniform and his flag, they're going to do it as a fifth column. Yes. Yes. And you can't take your eye off that ball. That's been their goal all along. And it starts with the penny. It starts with getting rid of
Starting point is 02:15:23 physical currency. And not that you know we always talk about fiat currency but what's it cost to make a dollar dave what's it cost to make it's a special type of paper by the way what's it cost to make a dollar you know and it's a much bigger spread for the paper currency however paper currency doesn't last as long as these coins do right and nobody's talking about that nobody's done it all these people oh yeah well it costs this much and that much and we print these this many of them and we spend this much every year but nobody talks about how long does a coin last in circulation i mean we still got coins that are they're taken out because they become more valuable as collector's items but other than that we've got we've got coins in circulation they've been around for many decades you know so
Starting point is 02:16:03 well in the crypto world they call it burning so like if you have a certain amount of coins that reach into circulation you can through your program you can just burn those coins if they're not being used or if they're on like old wallets that doesn't happen in bitcoin but it can happen in in the cryptocurrency world well i mean that's a thought experiment what if you uh you 80% of all the $100 bills ever made are not in the continental United States? They're outside and floating around in the world, circulating as the world anymore. You just start taking out physical fiat currency, which, you know, I'm not for a cashless society, by the way. I think cash is important. You know, physical money, you know, physical currency rather is very important for freedom and privacy and other things that we need. I mean, you know, I want it backed by something at some level.
Starting point is 02:17:03 I'd like it to be real, but, you know but I don't want it to be completely gone either. So something to think about there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think the penny is a thin end of the wedge, quite frankly, going into a cashless society. And as I said, I always said Trump made no sense, but now he's literally made that true. But it makes perfectly good sense if you look at what their ultimate goal is, to get rid of physical money, I think. Jason Barker says, I've been saving all my old electronics to do gold recovery. Going to do some urban mining there, I guess.
Starting point is 02:17:35 He said, it might be economical to do it now. I never wanted to mess with the chemicals, but it might be worth it now. Yeah, be careful of those chemicals. Be very careful of that. Atomic Dog said, my wife's gold tooth was worth about $200, paid for about a third of the new crown. Well, there you go. I guess there's always a silver lining or at least a gold lining. There's a gold lining, yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:55 Some of these problems. So tell us what's going on with your gold to Bitcoin and vice versa now. How is that working out? Anything new with that? We actually have some new stuff going on with Wolfpack. You can get there at davidknight.gold. I added two new products in the last 10 days or so. Constitutional Wolf is now a tier that you can get.
Starting point is 02:18:19 It's all about night. We have big reserves of 90% U.S. silver coinage, and I've got a discount rate there we've got uh a 250 and a 500 package you get one time but we we pick those out for you give you a detailed invoice and uh can save you considerable uh and uh and of course the variety too and we don't go by the way i don't just sift through all of those coins. So you might get some collectibles in there. I'm not saying that you will. But I buy them by the bag full.
Starting point is 02:18:52 I don't have the time or the resources to go through it. So you might just get a winner in there where I go, oh, that's worth way more. Great. Go turn it in and make something happy for you. So Constitutional Wolf is on there. And I just added, this is brand new, but there's a tier on there. You can't do a membership with it because the price fluctuates so much. But I'm selling one gram gold bars.
Starting point is 02:19:15 People have asked me, how do I just, I want just some gold. You can get one gram gold bars from me, free shipping, no credit card fees, no fees whatsoever. It's on there right now on davidknight.gold on the wolfpack site and you can buy as many as you want uh but it's but one if you just want one again free shipping no fees uh and we're going to be able to save you a considerable amount just if you went and bought that somewhere else over the shipping and over the fees uh because what we do is we buy these Valcambi big sheets you know of hundreds and we have my crew you know they break each piece off and then we put it into a coin flip so you're actually saving on you know getting a a grand bar of gold that you would have paid retail online so we added that as well that's
Starting point is 02:20:02 just to make it to where people who want to get into gold and have some physical gold, but, you know, can't afford some of the upper the tiers that we have. So I added that. And of course, the Bitcoin, we're just rolling along. If you want to buy Bitcoin, go to David Knight dot gold. We haven't added the buy Bitcoin tab yet. I'm still waiting for my website to be published. We've got some stuff working, but I'm open. So if you want to buy or sell Bitcoin, you can go through me. And again, anything you want to do with precious metals through any of my stuff, whether it's Wolfpack or a direct sale, we charge no fee for using Bitcoin. So we see it just as cash. Well, I got to say,'ve had had some listeners who have um uh donated to me through wolfpack and
Starting point is 02:20:46 and through um through that and it is interesting to see the um the different forms of gold you know you're talking about breaking off the things and getting little chiclets and stuff like that as well as the uh the gold paper notes that have gold interwoven in them that comes out of utah or something it really is interesting to see the many different ways that people can subdivide the gold. And I think we're going to see a lot more of that as we move on, because I think we're at a point now where, you know, Trump is there to create chaos. And this is happening at the tail end of the fourth turning, whereas we've been saying everybody's losing or has lost trust in the institutions.
Starting point is 02:21:25 That's what Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to do. Tulsi Gabbard is there to restore our trust in the intelligence agencies and national security. And it's like, it's going to take more than Tulsi to make me trust those people. I would never trust them with anything. But it's always great talking to you, Tony. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 02:21:44 And thank you for your support. And always great great and and you got a program that's coming up immediately following this one today tell people a little bit about that radio transmission my once a week uh transmit i wasn't able to do it last week because i was uh i was traveling so uh yeah go to uh rock finn on the america unplugged channel or my twitter at at Tony Arterburn will be live here at 11 a.m. Central Time. That's great. Or noon Eastern Time, as they say. It's noon Eastern. That's right.
Starting point is 02:22:11 Well, thank you so much, Tony. Always great to talk to you. It's been very interesting, and we are living in interesting times, aren't we? A lot of crises are going to be coming one after the other. 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. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Go to DavidKnight.Gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
Starting point is 02:22:47 He knows where to look to find silver and gold. Yuck! Fiat! Jörg Fjord Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. We've got a couple of comments here. Ephesians 6.12, USDA cares so much about your health. They'd rather starve you to death. That's right. That is really what is happening. They care so much about your health that they would like to kill you in every way they can.
Starting point is 02:24:57 Be My Valentine says, get backyard chickens. You're about a day early. Be My Valentine. KWD68 says, tulsi loves her some more yeah and soylent goy says is tulsi's hair real she looks like the villain from 101 dalmatians uh kuala deville i guess you know we pronounce uh devil as deville and of course she wanted what did she want i think she wanted all those Dalmatians to make herself a coat or something. Well, you know, it's when you look at the connections with Tulsi Gabbard and the fact that we are now supposed to trust her and she's going to rebuild trust in the national security and national intelligence and the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 02:25:43 I have a real problem with what's going on with her connections to that radical political party that is the ruling party in India, the Hindu party. As a matter of fact, there's an update. This just happened. This story came out a day or so ago. Woman allegedly burned alive and tortured amid persecution and terror in India. These are the supporters of Tulsi Gabbard that she has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from. And she's very closely tied to these two organizations that are doing this. One of them, the political wing, is the party of Modi, who is going to be meeting with Trump today. Watchdog is sounding the alarm about increasing anti-Christian persecution in India,
Starting point is 02:26:26 the world's most populous nation. And, of course, they're already number 11. And it's getting worse there. This encounter with Modi and Trump could offer an opportunity for Trump in the West to pressure Modi to stop the persecution. I said this is a place where about two years ago, the region exploded into anti-Christian violence. The conflict forced 40,000 Christians in one area to flee their homes over the course of a few weeks. The situation remains grim for the majority of Christians in that community. Most of them now live in refugee camps where the rates of death from cancer, kidney failure, and other treatable illnesses have really skyrocketed because they simply have no access to medicine or to basic supplies.
Starting point is 02:27:10 We don't care, right? The Christians, we don't care. All of this happening while Trump has set up his so-called faith office or something in the White House and put this female prosperity preacher in, Paula White. What an affront. But yet it's supposed to be about stopping Christian persecution. Well, it's not that hard to find Christian persecution that you can stop. You don't need to have an office of faith to do it, and they're not going to address this, I don't think. There was another three, a Christian woman from this indigenous group who was attacked by Hindu militants, raped, and then burned alive.
Starting point is 02:27:53 And that set off another round of violence between the groups. Scores of people were killed. More people were displaced. The government really seems kind of completely absent from the situation. They're probably supporting it behind the scenes, just like they do in Nigeria. Same type of thing. The majority of the nation, about 80% is Hindu. The small Christian minority makes up only 2%, often targeted and blamed for problems. And of course, the Hindus come after the Sikhs, which is a bigger percentage, far bigger than the Christians, with assassinations
Starting point is 02:28:27 in North America. How is the director of national intelligence going to play into that? The last 10 years or so, things have really been getting systematically worse for Christians and other religious minorities in India, with the government being led by the BJP party. This is the group that gives Tulsi so much money. It has its roots in Hindu nationalism. Problems have persisted. The party that is in power has been able to use this kind of religious identity as a weapon.
Starting point is 02:28:58 And that gets its opponents to stay in power. So it encourages its supporters to vote for it because they say they are the true Hindu party. They are the party that will protect India's Hindu identity. And so they keep pushing this tribalism, and this tribalism serves them well, these fights between and this persecution. And that's what the political party, that's their path to power, is this kind of tribalism. That kind of rhetoric requires an enemy. And unfortunately,
Starting point is 02:29:33 India's very small Christian population becomes that enemy in the eyes of many of the followers of this political party, the BJP, that has supported Tulsi Gabbard all the way through her political career. Modi is meeting with Trump and other U.S. officials today, just as Tulsi's Wednesday and Thursday, just as Tulsi was being installed yesterday.
Starting point is 02:29:55 It's a very important week for the U.S.-Indian relations. They said Trump has a relationship with his prime minister. Trump also promises to be a president who would care for persecuted Christians around the world. So this one person says, what should he do? What could he do? He says he doesn't have to flip over the table. He doesn't have to make threats. He doesn't have to harm the relationship. But while he's in the room with the prime minister, I think the president should just say to him, look, we know this is happening. We know you're probably not happy about it. We encourage you're probably not happy about it. We encourage you to really do something about it.
Starting point is 02:30:26 Does that sound like the way that Trump talks? Not to me. Would Tulsi do something like that? Seriously doubt it. Again, they rank as 11th in terms of the countries that persecute Christians. Meanwhile, Trudeau has got a secretly polling Canadians to gauge whether they will accept a digital ID. Secretly polling? What does that mean? Well, it turns out that his immigration ministry has been secretly asking Canadians via surveys if they would accept a mandatory
Starting point is 02:31:06 national ID program that would likely require each citizen to always have a type of digital passport on them. So you see they're doing this in Canada. Canada doesn't have a massive open border where people are coming across like we do with the southern border. They're trying to, this is something that, again, when we look at what is happening with the global agenda, I've said so many times, when you look at the pandemic, Trump and Trudeau were doing exactly the same thing.
Starting point is 02:31:36 Now, they'll come after it sometimes for a different reason. For this particular thing, it's going to be scaring people about the open borders, about immigrants, and things like that. And that's the way the Republicans are selling a digital ID, secretly pushing it. Now, Trudeau is secretly polling people about it. But they know that because they can look at social media, they can pretty much get the sense of the public in a far more accurate way than any of the polling that is out there. So Canada's Immigration Ministry commissioned a company to poll Canadians on its, quote, passport client experience survey.
Starting point is 02:32:18 Pollsters targeted clients, quote, unquote, who applied for a passport. And the main question the poll asked was, how comfortable would you be sharing a secure digital version of the passport within Canada as an identity document? See, this is where it's headed. We used to be able to travel internationally without having a passport. And then that became ubiquitous. And they added visas in a lot of different places but now they want to have internal passports to track everything that you do the poll comes despite
Starting point is 02:32:53 multiple parliamentary committees having rejected numerous times any sort of national id system noting how such a system would be extremely costly one say again oh we can't afford it's like the penny well no you no, you can't afford to lose your freedom. The freedom is priceless. One of Canada's former privacy commissioners in a 2003 report
Starting point is 02:33:14 that was titled Why We Should Resist a National ID Card for Canada said that any type of national ID card is, quote, the most significant privacy issue
Starting point is 02:33:23 in Canadian society. A national identification card would require an elaborate and complex national identity system with database, communication networks, card readers, millions of ID cards, policies, procedures to address a myriad of security, privacy, and manageability, as well as human factor considerations. The costs associated with such a system would be enormous. Just creating it would cost between $3 billion and $5 billion and a substantial additional cost to operate it. And yet it'll be sold to us, ironically, as an efficiency. We have to reduce the cost of paperwork. We're already starting to do this with the Musk Dodge. I think we should call it a dodge instead of doge, because it is a dodge.
Starting point is 02:34:07 How much of this stuff is real? Have you seen any of that? First of all, it's like what is happening at the border. If you go back and look at the actual numbers, at the end of the Biden administration, they were deporting 12,000 people a week. And the first two weeks, they did just under 6,000. And that's in two weeks. And so they're actually doing a quarter of the deportations under Biden. Does that jive with what you've been seeing in the media? With all of the media events and all the, you know, he's got his chest puffed out, Homan, yeah, I'm going to arrest this person. I'm going to arrest this person, I'm going to arrest that person. It's a PR campaign.
Starting point is 02:34:51 This is about the phony border concerns, and that's what they're going to do with the digital ID. And, of course, I am suspicious about everything that Musk does. I think there's a real concern about conflict of interest here. What is he going to do with all this money, all this information that he's getting? Because information is power. And this is even accelerated with artificial intelligence. I said for the longest time, one of the reasons that he wanted to get X was because it gives him a tremendous PR platform.
Starting point is 02:35:28 But it also gives him data about everybody. That's really what these things were designed for. That's why you had the CIA through In-Q-Tel and all these other different venture capital firms. Why they poured so much money into the Internet and especially into social media. Because it became about total information awareness. It became about lifelong. And so he's now taking this to another level, getting into the internal stuff. And a lot of people have already said it looks like what he's trying to do is to reduce the number of bureaucrats and replace them with artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 02:36:05 And who's going to be selling us the artificial intelligence? Why, of course, he would. If he has information on everybody, he is the most, not just the richest person in the world, but the most powerful person in the world if he's got information on everybody and everything. He has more information, has a greater understanding of what is going on for by a long shot than trump does and there are major conflicts of interest in everything that he's
Starting point is 02:36:31 doing here but when it comes to cutting down the bureaucracy has anything really happened again as as you know one of the listeners pointed out yesterday i said i think this is going to go the way of the twitter files remember that i'm going to show you all the stuff that the government did and what that turned into is like another big dog and pony show like the congress always does congress is always holding these hearings and always telling about all the bad stuff and then never doing anything and of course we got told about all the bad stuff that they were doing on social media with censorship how they were telling the social media companies to censor this person, that person, based on your opposition to what they were doing with their agendas, but nothing changed with any of that.
Starting point is 02:37:11 We're now being shown all these details, tantalizing details, and I reported a lot of them, massive amounts of waste, and it's this specificity that is very enticing, isn't it? And yet, in reality, you need to ask yourself, so what has been done about this? Even the spending freezes that Trump put on have now been shut down by one judge. He took it to an appeal judge, and the appellate judge said, no, I'm going to shut it down as well. So he's basically lost with one judge, lost on appeal on a lot of these things. That's why I said yesterday, if they're going to do anything about this in reality,
Starting point is 02:37:50 what they need to do is they need to fight this judicial supremacy. I don't know if they're going to do it or not. It may all just be this big PR campaign. But whatever it is, Musk is getting on the inside and getting all this information, isn't he? So Trudeau's cabinet says that the national digital ID system is going to be easier, more secure than traditional identification. They'll also sell it as an efficiency. It'll be cheaper and all the rest of the stuff. We've seen the video about Ukraine 2030 that they put in there.
Starting point is 02:38:25 They said, oh, yes, in just a few years, you're going to be able to do every, all of your interaction with the government will be through this app. Won't that be wonderful? Digital ID and similar systems have been pushed by global groups like the World Economic Forum. You see Klaus's boy, Klaus's boy right there. That's Trudeau. Perhaps these other people in the Trump administration. And then when you look in Canada, staying in Canada,
Starting point is 02:38:48 the conservative opposition, Pierre Palliev, has said that he has introduced a new bill that would expressly prohibit digital IDs in Canada. And he says he's also opposed to a federal digital dollar. However, he is not opposed to the climate grift. He says, I don't know, we might not want to leave the Paris Climate Accord. And if you are going to buy into that MacGuffin, then you're going to get your people to buy into some kind of a de facto energy measurement thing.
Starting point is 02:39:20 And that's going to eventually lead to a de facto CBDC. And so again, they got their clutches either through the vaccine stuff or through the climate stuff. They got their grip on these different people. When you talk about immigration, if you think that Trump is really serious about this stuff, or if you think that Elon Musk is serious about it? I mean, look at the big tell. Elon Musk didn't even realize how it was going to be received, the fact that he was all about H-1B visas. Except that Rama Slimy and Musk had had that spaces that they had done when Vivek the Snake was running for president.
Starting point is 02:40:06 And they were all about how Americans are garbage and they need to be replaced with the smart people like Musk and Vivek. And so when you look at what is happening, taxpayers subsidize college tuition for illegal aliens, but not for U.S. citizens. Well, this is something that has been around since Clinton. And I've talked about this for the longest time, the fact that they not only get the same benefits, but they get superior benefits to American citizens.
Starting point is 02:40:36 And this is put there so that we demand that everybody has to have a national ID so we can keep this kind of stuff from happening. And yet this law has been there since the early 1990s. And it's the same type of thing where they say, well, we've got a lot of fake pictures out there from artificial intelligence, and so we're going to have to crack down on you. You're going to have to prove that you're human. It's like, well, why don't you require that the AI stuff be labeled as AI rather than treating me that way? And that's what they do with the people coming across the border, this mandatory e-verify that Republicans are all about. You prove that you're an American citizen. Not that these people should have to have any proof
Starting point is 02:41:20 attached to them. So we're going to let the AI and the illegal aliens be the excuse for putting identification on all of us. It was in 1996 that Congress passed and Bill Clinton signed this act that would prohibit states from providing in-state college tuition rates to, quote, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States. However, it had no enforcement mechanism. There was no private enforcement. So it was left up to the federal government and the federal government passed this act and then didn't enforce it. It's kind of like what they did with Nancy Pelosi when she's revealed that she was doing insider trading and that they had given themselves permission
Starting point is 02:41:59 to do insider trading. So they put the Stock Act together, a lot of people call it the Pelosi Act, and that lasted for about six months. And then when the media moved on to a different story, they basically eviscerated it. And so they put this out there and say, yeah, we're not going to give a special in-state college tuition to illegal aliens. But then they gave themselves,
Starting point is 02:42:22 made it so that they were the ones who would enforce that, and they never bothered to enforce it. So it was all just virtue signaling. As I point out in this story from Epoch Times, Texas and California, even though they may be considered to be extreme, extreme ends of the spectrum on immigration, they said there are two of 25 states that blatantly violate federal law by providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens. The only states that actively block not only in-state tuition, but also enrollment of illegal aliens are Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Only three.
Starting point is 02:42:58 Seven other states block access to state financial and or in-state tuition. Those seven states are Missouri, Indiana, ohio wisconsin tennessee north carolina and new hampshire but the rest of them say yeah fine come on we'll give you in-state tuition and it's a big deal they said um in 2025 uh school year uh the average of public colleges is um-of-state tuition, average was $25,000 tuition. But if you were in-state, $11,000. It's less than half. And so that's being given to illegal aliens. And of course, an illegal alien can go to any state that they wish, whereas you are
Starting point is 02:43:41 limited to the state that you live in. So it's vastly superior to any of that and this has been around since 1994. no administration has enforced this including trump's administration the last one uh so they said even if and then if trump were to enforce this the next if they leave this the way that it is, the next administration that's not Trump could ignore it again. Except that Trump is not even ignoring this. Understand that he was there allowing illegal aliens to get in-state tuition in any state that they wish to go to. That happened throughout his entire administration.
Starting point is 02:44:22 And then when he was candidate Trump the second time, this time, remember when he said, I think that anybody that gets a college degree in anything could even be a junior college degree, just two years. I think they should get a green card. So he takes it one step further. He not only gives them superior benefits, but he makes it a path to citizenship. And yet people don't see what's going on. DG8, thank you for the tip. He said, David, you're right. They're saying that dimes and nickels should go too.
Starting point is 02:44:54 If something is 99 cents, $1.06 with tax, it'll be $1.25 cash. And they'll say pay digital, and it's only $1.06. That's part of the plan. I agree. That is the incentivizing of it, right? As Tony was saying, it gets rid of the preciseness of it. But what it does is it makes the non-cash transaction cheaper because they artificially inflate the cash portion of it. That's a very important thing. I think it is amazing what's going on. on and again nobody is looking at
Starting point is 02:45:26 it you know oh yeah we don't want to we don't want to pay you know hundred thousand dollars or hundred million dollars or whatever it is that they pay us oh we can save money there and uh that's all they say isn't that great yeah i've hated pennies all my life and now trump is going to take the bane of my life away from me. Cecilia 14, digital ID is going to be forced on us. I think, or rather, think about all the info at President Elon's fingertips, and now Tulsi. No vax, no access to your account. They're going to be able to put the screws to us, absolutely.
Starting point is 02:46:01 And a lot of this is going to be artificial intelligence and putting this stuff in and finding out look it knowledge is power especially when you're somebody that has the kind of money that elon musk does because you're going to use that knowledge to invest in things right this is the ultimate insider trading it is huge really huge uh wes robertson covid was all about digital ids not a fake virus hi boost david it's been my opinion digital id is the trump administration's number one goal number one i agree and all the republicans are are in bed with this as well you know again from the mandatory e-Verify to saying we've got to have ID to use the Internet because we've got to protect kids from porn.
Starting point is 02:46:50 Well, it's pretty easy. You let the parents take away the computers or the phones. They shouldn't be using that kind of stuff anyway. It really messes with the wiring of your brain, literally. And so we've got some older comments here audi modern retro radio says and tulsi thinks that she's going to restore our trust in the intelligence community good luck with that honey uh kwd 68 restoring trust i never had it that's right it's kind of like you're going to restore trust and uh and that uh in the same way that Trump is going to get us out of the Paris Climate Accord that we were never in.
Starting point is 02:47:30 It truly is amazing to see what they're pulling on us. I just want to mention some of the listeners who sent emails about various articles real quickly. This was sent by For Love of the Road. He said, just saw this shared by the john birch society and instagram hope it is as good as the title sounds and i hope it passes the tennessee house bill and senate bill would restore state sovereignty through nullification we've got some good people i've had in the last couple years bud halsey of course they got senator nicely out but they would focus on things like, you know, having gold reserve for the state and state nullification and some things like that.
Starting point is 02:48:11 And they have paid attention and they are now pushing them out in a big way. Um, we have, uh, also along the lines of what we were talking about, um, I've had, uh, some people who've sent me their concerns about Elon Musk. I share those concerns and somebody sent me an op-ed piece from Dr. Naomi Wolf, who is very outspoken about this. She's very concerned about Musk having all this access to all this information. She calls it the Elon Musk's digital coup. She said, for a week, I've been savaged on X, which, of course, Musk owns, for urgently trying to warn people about what those few days over the weekend before last, when Musk and five or six young engineers were alone with their devices plugged into all the nation's data. He's now got 100 people working for him.
Starting point is 02:49:08 If I'm right about even some of my concerns, these few days represent a Rubicon that can never now be uncrossed, during which data and intellectual property captivation will have made Musk and the people with whom he now allies more powerful than any president, including Trump. And it will have made Musk more powerful than any nation state, more powerful than the World Economic Forum and the WHO, more powerful than any prime minister,
Starting point is 02:49:33 more powerful than any CEO or leader of any other corporation. And thanks for my warnings and links with all the evidence. Naomi Wolf said, I've been called on X. I've been called a on x i've been called a dnc shill i had people i uh put up my concerns uh about a couple of these things and somebody said well you know i think he took money i think he's sold out i think he's become like matt drudge it's like you think i took money because i opposed uh trump on the lockdowns on January the 6th. You think I took money?
Starting point is 02:50:06 Is that right? So she said, I've been called a DNC shill, controlled opposition, CIA, a libtard, unpatriotic, various other epithets. Of course, I'm not any of these. And she said, and thankfully, I'm no longer a libtard. But she said, most genuine voices which have been supportive of my efforts to warn the country, I can't see on X because we get shadow banned. And so she said she's put this article up on Substack. She said, it's like being a would-be Paul Revere without a horse and without a voice so i'm going to substack she said and so she's talking about how very concerned she is with all of this and her experience with a something that she set up
Starting point is 02:50:57 called the daily clout and she said um uh working with developers she, she's not a programmer, she works with developers to develop these three platforms. And she said they're all based, just like Musk's Dodge, I'll call it Dodge, on government data sets. She's got one that's called BillCam, lets you see and share state and federal bills. Another one called Communities, a surveillance and censorship-free Facebook competitor, and another one called Legisector, where you can access bills within your industry.
Starting point is 02:51:33 And so, you know, I think that's all very useful stuff. She says she's not a coder, but from 13 years of working with this stuff, she understands the fundamentals of using these government digital data sets, the protections around them, how valuable this information that he's getting is. And she says, I can't believe that Team Trump understands these dangers fully yet, or even that the Republicans in Congress do. If they did, they would not make themselves, their base, and their donors so vulnerable. I think they would.
Starting point is 02:52:07 That's why I disagree with her. I don't think they care about that kind of stuff at all. Scott Besson, she said, Secretary of the Treasury assured Americans that their data was safe, explained that Musk and his engineers' access to $6 trillion in Treasury data of government spending was read-only. That interview reassured a lot of people, but she said, think about that. If it's read-only, you may not be able to change anything there, but you can read everything that is there. You can copy it.
Starting point is 02:52:36 You can store it. You can put it on the cloud. She points out that one of the people that's working with Musk is a CEO of Cloud Software Group. And so they can act on that information. It gives them an insight to what is actually happening there. And then this was also sent to me by Seth, who and a lot of other people pointed this out. I think I've mentioned it once that DOGE is not a new committee.
Starting point is 02:53:03 It's a renaming of the U.S. Digital Services, and its purpose is not to uncover government waste, but to improve the quality and the efficiency of government-wide software. And again, I think this plays into the concerns and suspicions that many of us have, that he's looking to get the inside track on government software. When you look at Sam Altman and all these people, when he got hit by Deep Seek, and again, people are saying, well, we don't know if that was real. We don't know if that was an operation by the Chinese government to try to create havoc and chaos and everything. Well, you might ask the same questions about what Donald Trump is doing, what Elon Musk is doing.
Starting point is 02:53:50 But when everybody got concerned about, you know, are we overpaying for AI, you know, if these people can do this stuff so cheaply, and it sent shockwaves through NVIDIA, through the rest of the stock market uh the um response of sam altman at open ai is to go running to government for a government contract and how did musk become the richest man in the world see that's the other thing about it which i haven't seen anybody else talk about this he became the richest man in the world by by selling to governments, not just the American government, but to the Chinese government what they want. And so by being able to read their mail, which is one of the kind of the colloquialism for,
Starting point is 02:54:38 I know what you're thinking, right? I read your mail. Well, he's reading the mail of the governments who are this government, which is his big customer. And he knows the inside workings of how it operates. It's going to make him incredibly more efficient in terms of selling money to the U.S. government and making money off the U.S. government. The first time I talked to Eric Peters, we were talking about Elon Musk being the king of crony capitalism. And it wasn't just us. The LA Times was talking about it at that time. And at that time, he was the darling of the leftists. He was the darling of the environmentalists because he was green grifting everything. He was a greenwashed billionaire. And everything that he has done, He's a military industrial contractor. The rockets, the satellites, the cars, the self-driving cars especially,
Starting point is 02:55:37 everything that he's doing serves that agenda and serves government, and government is his customer, and now he's got all that information. That's why it's such a massive conflict of interest and, you know, recreating this U.S. digital services to improve the quality and the efficiency of government-wide software. And so, again, we come back to getting rid of these employees, replacing them with artificial intelligence. I think that's a key part of what this is all truly about mav 2022 he says he who gobbles the most data and trains their ai with it the best wins and that is the psycho's model motto yeah and the other motto coming out of silicon valley is that you want to move fast and you want to break things. Seems like that's exactly what the Trump administration is doing.
Starting point is 02:56:30 They're moving fast and they're breaking things. And they're going to make a great deal of money out of all of that. Well, as I said before, what we're talking about, Musk, and I don't have time to go into this too much, but when you look at the liberals who say that we have a uh you know the climate change is uh causing more fires in california and all the rest of the stuff now what happened in california forest fires are a regular thing there just like hurricanes are a regular thing in florida and yet the incompetence that was there was stunning in its depth and something we had not seen before. But if you go back and you look at historically how many forest fires we've had, we find that we
Starting point is 02:57:15 are in a period of very few forest fires. They said the average annual area burned since the late 19th and early to mid 20th centuries is generally less than experienced under historical fire regimes across many North American forests, resulting in a widespread 20th century fire deficit relative to earlier time periods. This is not the first time I've heard this. I've, you know, they talk about many times. I've seen articles in past decades about how we have a lot more forest land than we did in early america and the reason for it was because of forestry management and as and i knew that from my uncle who was a forestry professor who would always talk about the fact that they were getting rid of in the mid-20th century in
Starting point is 02:58:02 the 70s about the time he's retiring he said they're getting rid of in the mid-20th century, in the 70s, about the time he was retiring. He said they're getting rid of all the forestry management. And they're going to this radical environmentalism and they're leaving the dead trees in the forest and the forests are going to burn down. But even with that, we still have a fire deficit. I find that to be very interesting. But even more importantly, we have articles that Elon Musk has just kicked off a big venture in China.
Starting point is 02:58:26 Because, again, that's where he makes his money, selling stuff and doing work with the government. And so he's got a new venture there to build these massive battery energy systems. They're going to make battery energy storage sites. I've talked about that with the TVA wanting to set these things up around the area where we live. They're incredibly expensive because first they sell you the so-called renewable energy of solar and wind, but then they have to have a battery to put that stuff into. And so then they buy these incredibly expensive battery energy storage sites, which has now
Starting point is 02:59:04 just done a deal in China to roll these things off in massive quantity. So there's going to be a big push from TVA, from a lot of other agencies to buy this stuff. And they are an unbelievable fire hazard. They're unbelievably expensive. It is in Shanghai that he's now opened up a mega pack factory. And the factory has an annual capacity of 10,000 of these units, each of them with 3.9 megawatt hours of energy. And so he's going to be flooding the market with these battery energy storage sites. And that is going to talk about inflation.
Starting point is 02:59:43 Get ready for your power bills to explode. And just hope that these lithium batteries don't explode because they'll burn down your entire community. Well, that's all we have time for today. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a good day. Good evening. Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow. Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
Starting point is 03:00:14 Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat. The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly. Carefully contrived to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions. Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags? But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture? Is it merely a MacGuffin? The David Knight show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
Starting point is 03:01:08 And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull. So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show. And now back to our regularly scheduled program. Out of Washington, please consider supporting the show. And now back to our regularly scheduled program. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
