So, and I also write a lot about the climate cult. So I just fell into that one,

and I write a lot about immigration. Strange how these things just come upon you as if you didn't ask for them, but the politicians put them on you. We're gonna have a very good day today at 10 30.

Well, as I often do on my program, since we have such a complicated and very intense production team here, we always make sure that we check out tonight, tonight, tonight with Genesis. Sometimes the music that plays with the words on the screen don't seem to match and it comes up sounding like Black Flag

or the Digital Underground and it's just not Genesis and Phil Collins singing Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. But today we get to do something different. Today we get to check our sound system and get ready for what's on tap for the David Knight Show by hearing Smashing Pumpkins. ["Smashing Pumpkins"] pumpkins.

And remember, your contributions will be very helpful at this time. As you know, David's living is earned being on and he is on all the time. I know that many days he hasn't even been able to leave the house because he's worked so hard studying news. So he is quite a good man. So let's

look at what's on tap today, everyone for the program, the David Knight Show on this Thursday, and we're already more than halfway through June. First, we'll look at the big story, Trump's lies regarding meddling in other countries. Well, those seem to be, yeah, unsupported by the evidence. He claimed that the United States meddling in other countries is over.

Well, we have direct evidence that shows very clearly United States is meddling in other countries is over. Well, we have direct evidence that shows very clearly United States is meddling in other countries since they bombed Yemen without any declaration of war and killed civilians there as they put out fist pump emojis. Now, I don't know if there are war crime accusations one can give for fist pump emojis, but I do think that there are war crimes accusations for any of those people in

that chat by killing innocent civilians and there was no declaration of war. But that's just me looking at the war crimes information that I often get to read just before I go to bed. We'll also talk about Ted Don't Bother Me with Fax Cruz. That buzzing yesterday and last night in his conversation with Tucker Carlson, mighty exposition here to give you because I think maybe getting some feedback from everybody is in order. I'm hearing conservatives just poo poo this as if it doesn't mean anything that Ted Cruz might be emblematic of the mindset of Washington, which is we're just going to allow Donald Trump to attack a foreign country without any declaration of war, which actually wasn't even one of the major topics for Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz. And we're not even

going to know anything about it. And we're going to claim that Iran is a threat despite all of the information that has come out over years and just over the past couple days. We'll give that to you. Will the US directly unconstitutionally, immorally join the Israeli attack on Iran? Well it indirectly already has. Directly, they've sent the Nimitz there. It's supposed to be decommissioned next year.

Is that false flag fodder just sitting and waiting in the ocean? We'll see. We'll look at the new information from the IAEA as Christian Amanpour spoke with one of the heads of the IAEA and he reiterated what we have known for years. The Iranians have been open to the inspections although they reserve the right now to be able to expand and create nuclear weapons-grade fissile material. They haven't been doing so. And in fact, we're going to go back to my Liberty Conspiracy show from the night before last to sort of lay that out and show you how one man, the vice president, skirted the truth in such a deceptive way about that, that I think it's very indicative of that man's character.

I think it's one of the major tells about JD Vance's long distance dedication to the truth, which is not too good. We'll talk about the Supreme Court, okay, that Tennessee ban on underage transmutilation, we'll discuss Donald Trump prohibiting the California ban on gas cars and yet, guess what? Yes, Gavin Newsom has reinstated it and our guest at 1030, Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange and we'll discuss more information about the

immigration debate. When you have a collective system, everybody's going to argue about it. It's wonderful and conservatives love it. Thank you very much, Karen, for hopping into X and telling us we're having our five by five. I really appreciate it. I so much appreciate it and the Russians say good morning to you as well. They're singing like singing in the rain. I really appreciate it everybody. And we've got this from Rattlesnake George, Anti-Federalist Christian ConstitutionalLaborParty.com. Thank you very much. Get a little plug there. And Nicholas Armstrong says, good morning. Thank you, Nicholas. Everyone, welcome to the program. Thanks for being here. Really

appreciate it. Oh, Nicholas has the seven countries in seven years, took 25 instead of seven. Yeah, they like to work slowly. Ha ha ha. Slow but sure, they're not the rabbit, they're not the hare, they're the tank rolling over bones. All right, everybody, as we often do on Liberty Conspiracy, I like to hear a voice from the past

to tell us about the big story of the day. He comes from the deepest darkest forests of Siberia where it was known for a while as New Jersey. He did some work on Saturday Night Live. Here he is. The big story. The big story. The big story. The big story. Yes, Joe Piscopo gives us the big story. And that big story is, of course, warfare. We're gonna be discussing warfare and truth, actually.

And you let me know if you think that Donald Trump might perhaps be led astray by his own ego, that perhaps Donald Trump has knocked himself out among many of the old MAGA. We've seen Marjorie Taylor Greene changing her tune. We've seen a lot of people joining with a war resolution that has been proposed by Thomas Massey. And I think that perhaps Donald Trump might've jumped the shark on this. And I hate to put in that political angle,

but that seems to be all that Donald Trump cares about. Let's hear from Edward and star and discuss this. ["What Is This Good For?" by Edward and Star playing on guitar.] What is it good for? Absolutely nothing What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Say it again y'all What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing Listen to me I just want to be with you Look out! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Listen to me! I despise Costing me Destruction Of innocent lives

War means tears And thousands of mothers I ask when their sons go to fight And lose their lives I said Good God, y'all! Thank you Edwin Star in memory of a great singer and I did not know that he had passed away. Was it Karen Carpenter told me that he had passed away? Thank you very much Edwin Star.

Rest your soul. All right. I'm going to review from a couple days ago that scene of Donald Trump on the plane being addressed by a reporter who simply said, you know, Tulsi Gabbard, your national security advisor said that Iran, as they consistently have said, is not developing nuclear weapons, that they've been working on a nuclear energy program for their own purposes, for energy, for hospitals, and things like that. Let's go back into that and hear Donald Trump as he offered his opinion about his own choice to fill that seat.

You've always said that you don't believe Iran should be able to have a nuclear weapon, but how close do you personally think that they were to getting one? Because Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one. Okay. Then why did you hire her if you don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having it. Okay.

Then why did you hire her if you don't care what she said? What evidence do you have? Well, you don't have any evidence. That's the entire point. Just like the weapons of mass destruction, Mirage with Iraq. Of course, we know that Donald Trump has no evidence at all. And in fact, the idea that the United States is going to continue to supply weapons to Israel is unconstitutional.

And the idea that the United States is going to be possibly backing Israel up with military action is unconstitutional. And I hope that conservatives won't cite the War Powers Act that supposedly gives the president 90 days to just go willy-nilly wherever he wants to. At the same time, I want to go back to my previous Liberty Conspiracy program, because I think you'll find this interesting. And then we're going to talk about, we're gonna be talking about Ted Cruz. But first, let's get into what I offered the other night

on Liberty Conspiracy about Donald Trump with just this and talk about JD Vance and Mike Huckabee. So please keep that in mind and we're going to continue with even more. I've got a lot to go into, but let me just mention that one of the absolute craziest things is coming from Mike Huckabee, and I want to show you Gerald Salenti's tweet about this. He says, Remember sheep that it's the iranians who are led by religious fanatics Asa Wanstenly says this very worrying trump post to truth social

screenshot of a text message from insane Christian Zionist and US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee in which he hints strongly to Trump that he should nuke Iran now I'm putting all this forward right now knowing that this flood, this tsunami of craziness, one after the other after the other, can contribute to a sense of impending doom or alarm. And I don't know whether that is something that they're trying to generate in us, or trying to generate in the minds of the Iranians, or they're really this crazy. But as Charlton Heston said in Planet of the Apes, it's a madhouse. So here it is.

From Mike Huckabee, a pastor, politician, ambassador, and great person, great person, says Donald Trump, Mr. President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential president in a century, maybe ever. The decision on your shoulders, I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you, sir, but there is only one voice that matters. His voice, I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you, but I

do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. I do not try to get in your presence often. In your presence? What is that? What is he, like radioactive? Like exuding power and beauty? Your presence? Let's say like a burning bush with orange hair?

What the heck is that? What kind of weird... Do you think Huckabee wrote this himself, you guys? I think he did. What the heck? I do not try to get into your presence often because I trust your instincts. No president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945.

I don't. Gee, that's a wonderful reference. Mr. President, he says, down here. Where is it, since 1945, yes, I don't reach out to persuade you, only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or anyone else's. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes and ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My

job is to be the last one to leave. I will not abandon this post. Our flag will not come down. You did not seek this moment. This moment sought you. It is my honor to serve you." Signed, Mike Gosh-G-Wiz Shuckaby. Yeah. And don't forget, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich both, about 10 years ago, maybe a little more now, both thought it would be a great idea to have the government run the Internet, and Newt Gingrich wanted to have everything that you would put on the Internet sifted through a sieve of judges, and they would have to be judges who all served in the military. And then you could put something out on the Internet, because Newt Gingrich is a great guy. Okay.

All right so we'll pause it right there. Great comments over on X by the way and great back and forth over at Rumble and yes definitely got to respond to a couple of the points over at Rumble especially about making this the screen bigger. Thank you Russians. So that was from Wednesday on the Liberty Conspiracy program, not to, you know, promote the show 6 p.m. Monday through Friday on Rumble and my ex, Edgard Goldsmith. But in addition to that, we now have Ted Cruz Cruz expressing the same sort of bizarre Christian Zionist approach. So what I'd like to do is head over to first a rather humorous one from Duopoly Destroyer. I think that's probably the place where I wanna start first

if I've got this right, let me see. Yes, this is the one that I recorded from Duopoly Destroyer, and he is pretty funny. And he goes into the first part of the Ted Cruz Tucker Carlson exchange, where Tucker Carlson asks a few pertinent questions about, hey, do you want to know a few things about Iran before you attack Iran? Now underlying all that are the assumptions that they're going to force you to pay for it, which is the height of immorality. It wouldn't matter whether the Constitution was actually abided by, to leave a preposition

dangling, or they're going about it in this way, which is out without a declaration of war. It doesn't matter. Even if they were to declare war, you have a moral right to hold onto your money. For whatever they want to take their money to do, you have a right to keep your money. It doesn't matter whether they want to hand out teddy bears or food or anything like that. They have no right to tell you to give up your money. And they certainly have no right to tell you to give up your money to attack another country ostensibly for your protection. But regardless of it, regardless of even if Iran were a threat to the United States, which it's not,

they have no right to tell you to pay for anything, period. Beyond that, you get into the nuances and the nitty gritty and all the Byzantine points about how much do you know about this country you want to attack. Missing from this conversation between Tucker and Ted Cruz, so far that I've seen has been any mention of a declaration of war, which is the constitutional thing to which Ted Cruz agreed.

But this is pretty darn good from Duopoly Destroyer. He is a funny man. And I thought, you know, I'm gonna show this first before we go into the specific cuts of just Cruz and Tucker. Tucker Carlson released just one minute of a snippet of an interview with Ted Cruz and revealed that the politicians pushing for this war against Iran the most know the least

about the country they want to go to war with. I mean, Tucker embarrassed this man. They were talking about Iran. I know that they're known for their Persian food, but Tucker cooked him like hibachi, like he was in the mood for Japanese last night. He turned Teddy Cruz into a teddy bear. And he did so by asking the most basic of questions. Like, oh, you want to go to war with Iran, so maybe it's important to know how many people they have.

What's their population? And Ted Cruz just looks at him like why is that important how many people live around by the way i don't know the population at all no i don't know the population you don't know the population the country you seek to topple how many people living around 92 million okay yeah how could you not know that i i don't sit around memorizing population tables. Well it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government. Why is it relevant whether it will be 90 million or 80 million or 100 million? So let's just pause it right there and we'll go back to duopoly destroy in a minute.

Do you hear the callousness in that that I hear? Why does it matter what the population size is? Ted, more people live in the city of Tehran than the entire nation state of the artificial occupying nation of Israel. Do you know that? Do you know that when Donald Trump put out that flip comment night before last about how the people in Tehran Do you know that when Donald Trump put out that flip comment

night before last about how the people in Tehran should get out, more people than live in Israel tried to get from point A to point B on just a few roads. Do you know how disruptive that was for people's lives? The numbers of businesses that had to shut down, the fuel, the energy, the cost, just in that one night when you egotistically said that, Donald? Do you have any idea, any idea or any care? Are you that much of a narcissist psychopath that you will say things that any normal person would say if I were in that position that would cause a lot of

fear amongst a lot of people and ruin a lot of people's lives whether it's leaving pets behind or trying to pick up kids finding out about loved ones hospitals in Tehran do you have any concept of the stress and problems that you brought up in just a few hours the night before last? I don't think so. Do you know that more people live in Tehran than the entire nation state of Israel,

which is helping to line your coffers with more gold? I doubt it. I doubt Ted Cruz knows either, but here he is. And about the country. I don't know, maybe because if you're gonna go to war with the country, you don't wanna start up walking up to him like a one man army stand on business, spend billions, take our economy,

only to end up losing and running away with your tail tucked between your ass like this. And then when Tucker charges him, it's like, bro, how do you want to go to war with a country you know nothing about? Can you not see how that's weird as hell? Ted Cruz hits him with the ultimate comeback. No, it's you who doesn't know anything about Iran. What's the ethnic mix of Iran? They are Persians and predominantly Shia. Okay, you don't know anything about Iran. So I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. You're a senator who's calling the government. You don't know anything about the country. No, you don't know anything

about the country. Now Ted alleges that Tucker doesn't know anything because he isn't aware that Iran is planning on taking out Donald Trump except no one. Not even Trump's own intelligence community has collaborated this and Tucker rightfully suggests well if you're gonna say something like that that's kind of a big deal wouldn't that mean the United States would need to attack them? Isn't that what we should be doing? And this man actually says that we are attacking them. So again, the back and forth between Tucker, Ted Cruz said, well, Iran tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

And as that happened, we knew that was bogus, and they have no evidence for it. But they continue to say it. Then Tucker says, well, if Iran is that much of a threat, then why didn't you go after them right away? And he says, we are attacking them. Therefore, as you can see, Duopoly says, Duopoly Destroyer says, so Ted Cruz essentially is saying

the United States is involved in an undeclared war against Iran, which we all know. It's just like Ukraine, same sort of deal. They've got advisors, they've got the soldiers. They, as Joe Biden indicated, when he visited Poland and Easter, right when the Ukraine Russia thing was really firing up, and he talked to the 101st airborne there and he said, well, some of you have already been there

to Ukraine. He openly admitted it. So this is Ted Cruz doing pretty much the same thing. Uh, what, bro? You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. You know, I'm not saying that. You can't figure out a good idea to kill General Soleimani. You said it was bad. They're trying to murder Trump. Yes, I guess you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation. They really believe that carrying out military strikes today. You said Israel was right Right. With our help.

Did Ted Cruz just casually announce that the United States is at war with Iran during an interview with Tucker Carlson? And why would he directly contradict what the Nat-Sec rep, Alex Pfeifferiffer said when he said that we are not directly attacking Iran and when Tucker asked Ted this, I mean we're helping Israel. I said we, Israel is leading them but we're supporting them. Well this, you're breaking news here because the US government last night denied the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all.

No, we're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them. You just said we were. We are supporting Israel. This is high stakes. You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is a... We're with Iran right now.

People are listening. All right, so we'll pause it there. Now let's inject what I've heard on numerous conservative talk radio programs from Boston. Maybe it's just the Boston orientation for conservatives on Boston talk radio. They are angry at Tucker Carlson. They said that Tucker Carlson laid in wait and put down rhetorical and logical traps for Ted Cruz and didn't allow Ted Cruz to answer. Let me just ask you a quick question.

As far as power balances go, who is the bad guy here? Who is the one with the power? Is it Tucker? Let me just say this. Is it the man who wants to force you to continue, not just to start, but to continue engaging in hostilities around the world, in this case, against Iran?

Is it the man who will put you in jail if you don't pay? Is it the man who's completely disregarding his sworn oath to the Constitution, which prohibits exactly this sort of thing. You have a declaration of war against a nation state, or you have letters of mark and reprisal against non-nation state agitators, like pirates or other people,

if they're in outside of a uniform of a nation state. That's it. There's no declared war. So Ted Cruz is just sitting there saying, we are helping them right now. Well, that's an admission that you're supporting an unconstitutional action. And then he also praised the assassination

without any due process of a foreigner, Soleimani. And Donald Trump, as he started to invite the Iranians back to negotiate, saw the Israelis assassinate, kill, target almost every member of the Iranian negotiating team. Why would they ever negotiate again? Why would the Russians negotiate with Donald Trump? He's that deceptive and you could end up dead? No, thank you. I'll skip lunch. I'll

pack my own bag. Thank you very much. What in the world, what kind of crazy situation can you have with tax paid people like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, somehow emblematic of the United States and they get backed up by the talk radio hosts who say Tucker Carlson was the one who attacked Ted Cruz. In every portion of this Tucker Carlson is speaking up for the put-upon for the people who are going to be forced to pay by the giants who are walking around trying to stomp down David and their names are Ted Cruz and Joe Biden and Donald Trump. A voice in the wilderness comes out and says, hey, excuse me, can I protest this? I'd like to mention that the emperor has no clothes.

How dare you say the conservatives on Boston Talk Radio? How dare Tucker Carlson? I blame Tucker Carlson for this situation. Ha ha ha ha ha. I blame Tucker Carlson. Ha ha ha ha. Unbelievable. Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you. We're getting reposts of the stream. That is great. Thank you so much. Now you. We're getting reposts of the stream. That is great. Thank you so much now let's get into some of the specifics about what Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have been saying about the weapons so called being developed okay, so I want to show you first let's go back a little bit and

So I want to show you first, let's go back a little bit. And I'll show you a little bit of Benjamin Netanyahu's. And this is a classic one. It's a classic hit. It's like your long distance dedication from American top 40. Here's your long distance dedication. Going back to October, 1996 with this classic hit from Benjamin Netanyahu, who not only didn't get it right,

he repeatedly didn't get it right, he repeatedly didn't get it right. And he was on the floor of Congress. Was he under oath? Did he lie to Congress or was he just mistaken this many times? The deadline for attaining this goal is getting extremely extremely close. Iran, by the way, is also outpacing Iraq in the development of ballistic missile systems that they hope will reach the eastern seaboard of the United States within 15 years. By next spring, at most, by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. From there it's only a few months, possibly a few weeks,

before they get enough enriched uranium for the first bomb. The foremost sponsor of global terrorism could be weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons. That would place a militant Islamic terror regime weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.

Now I don't know about you guys, you guys and ladies, but from what I gathered, now I did a lot of research on this, I read my Benjamin Netanyahu book, textbook on how to create an atomic bomb. Evidently what you do is you get this, you get a mix, right? It's this yellow cake mix and you put it in an easy bake oven. You can do it in about five minutes. There's a little light bulb. No problem. It's easy. I read that. It was Benjamin Netanyahu's book, How to Make an Atom Bomb in a month and a half. It takes about 45 years to read the book and get to the end of it. And then you realize it's all fiction. But you know, it's not a textbook at all. It's fiction. Oh, sorry about that.

Now I want to go back into the segment that I was playing from Liberty Conspiracy Live from Wednesday after we discussed the Mike Huckabee story because that gets us into this deceptiveness about the weapons being developed to use the passive voice about the Iranians about the weapons being developed, to use the passive voice, about the Iranians developing the weapons. So we discussed Mike Huckabee and what a class act that guy is. We're going to get back into the Christian Zionism thing because Ted Cruz also embraces that and I think it's important to bring up what scripture actually says for those people

who are Christians and think that these guys might have some sort of argument that somehow it's okay to slaughter women and children and occupy a nation-state to create an apartheid state and starve people to death all for God saying that there is a nation of Israel. If you misinterpret that with the New Testament and you believe it's a political system, you got some big problems. Big problems, Christian Zionists. First of all, all political systems are based on theft

and threats of aggression. Maybe not a good idea if you look at the Old Testament. Maybe you don't wanna be acquisitive, steal, and you know, look at somebody else's belongings and want them. I don't know, but that seems to be something Moses remembered. Then we've got the whole idea of what Israel actually is after Christ, which is Israel are the followers of Christ, not a political nation state. Logically, a political nation state breaches half of the Ten Commandments.

It is an aggressive entity. It can only exist not through voluntary means, because that would just be an agreement from people who are forming their own little club. It is a political system. A state is always based on force. It forces itself on people who don't want it, and then it says says I'm here for your protection. That's what the state is there to do. That's always been what the state is there to do. The only distinction between what we have now and what the serfs had back then was at least they knew their enemy. They knew the royals were over them. They didn't hear this canard about how the government is us. It's just a round table of people trying to fill the us slots and take other

people's money to get what they want done while the other people have to pay for it. And then they claim it's you got it. It's individual liberty. Uh-huh. So I want to turn away from the Ted Cruz Christian thing for just a second and away from the Huckabee thing for just a minute. We're gonna get to that again to backstop that in a bookmark here. I set up a couple bookends, you might say. Wanna go back now to this analysis of what JD Vance

said online about the Iranians supposedly developing nuclear weapons. There's a little bit more here. Here we go. And Newt Gingrich wanted to have everything that you would put on the internet sifted through a sieve of judges. And they would have to be judges who all served in the military. And then you could put something out on the internet because Newt Gingrich is a great guy.

Okay. Now, let's get into more of the ridiculous claims. Let's talk about Donald Trump and he was reminded. Hey, Trumpy, guess what? Do you have a cereal called Trumpies? Trumpies. They taste this way one day and they taste this way another day. It's amazing.

They can be two things at once. It's great. Get your box of Trumpies. Who knows what lies at the bottom of the box? It could be the Epstein files. Not for children. Anyway, so yeah, let's rock and roll with this one. This is a great one. We've got Donald Trump and of course his famous, now famous, within not even 24 hours statement about Tulsi Gabbard's statement that hey, you know the intelligence community out there?

Yeah. You know, those guys, well, yeah, the intelligence community, they, they said that the Iran isn't pursuing a nuclear weapon, so he's on air force 9,000 and we can, we can skip that part. I forgot. I said that. Sorry about that. All right. So yeah.

So there's the Tulsi thing and Donald Trump. He doesn't care. So we're going to go to the JD Vance part next. I don't care what she said. Then why'd you hire her? Oh, that's right. You wanted votes. That's why you don't care what anybody says. You don't care about the facts and you certainly don't care about your oath to the Constitution, you scumbag. Yeah, that's awesome. That's great. Ah, now let's check out JD Vance on this one because JD Vance is pulling the same sort of stuff.

JD Vance, this is a back and forth that JD Vance has been having with people and I heard the same sort of thing at 6 this morning on Jeff Koenner's show. They're constantly trying to massage the narrative when it comes to what happened with Iran, what Iran is actually doing with its refining of nuclear fissile material, and what Iran has said it could do because the United States has broken its agreements and has engaged in hostilities against Iran and helped Israel assassinate Iranians. I don't know. So JD Vance is saying all sorts of great stuff.

He says this. So people were showing Tulsi Gabbard and they say, are you saying Tulsi and the 18 US intelligence bodies backing the opposite, finding less than eight weeks ago are wrong or lying? So first he says, look, I'm seeing this from the inside. Now listen to what he says, we're going to read this very carefully. And I'm admittedly biased towards our president and my friend. And there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media. So now you've got to feel, it's very cozy.

He's your pal. It's cool. I'm on your level. So I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue. Now get ready everybody because he's not going to be pulling any fast ones at all. This isn't a prepared thing in any way whatsoever. It's completely spontaneous, and it's not done to try to, again, massage the narrative about Iran's nuclear program, which has not been military.

It's been for energy, for hospitals, and that's basically it. And they reserve the right now to push it into nuclear nuclear weapons because of us actions He says first POTUS has been amazingly Consisted over 10 years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Well, Iran hasn't been pursuing a nuclear weapon That's the point. Why do you say Iran can't have a nuclear weapon when Iran has said themselves? We don't want a nuclear weapon and here we're open. We're not have a nuclear weapon when Iran has said themselves we don't want a nuclear weapon and here we're open We're not pursuing a nuclear weapon Why doesn't he say Iran is doing a great thing by not pursuing a nuclear weapon?

right People have said the attack on Iran Shows the wisdom of North Korea's attempt to try to get a nuclear weapon Because that will mean that people won't attack new North Korea because they'll reserve the right to get a nuclear weapon because that will mean that people won't attack North Korea because they'll reserve the right to use a nuke. Now in the Middle East it gets a little problematic because of course the question of if you use a nuclear weapon are you going to be downwind from the fallout and will you be hurting your own people? That seems to come to mind. A lot of clusters in there, a lot of problems, but we'll continue with JD and see how he deceives people. Over the last few months, Trump encouraged his

foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. Yeah. And that deal is essentially, we know you're not doing anything. and even more than that, we're going to restrict you even further and we're going to portray you as the bad guys while we walk around in the neighborhood with the guns and tell people, we're pointing guns at you, what a great deal. That's essentially what this is. As Daniel McAdams said said it's armed robbery and The robbers telling you it's a deal you didn't do anything They're pointing the gun at you and then when they walk away when you've given them something they demanded

Then of course they tell you it's a deal. No, that's not a deal. That's an extraction Man, so he says the president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. Now, here's the thing. This is the situation. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways, the easy way or the other way. Okay. So, he says that Iran can't have uranium enrichment. They have every right

to have uranium enrichment. They've made agreements that allow them in the so-called international community to have uranium enrichment. What Trump wanted to do was do something contrary to the original Obama idea, which was. So remember that original Obama idea was a pretty good idea that Trump dumped, okay? No, you can't have uranium enrichment inside your own country. So this is, originally, I just want to make this clear. Originally, Obama was saying,

yes, we'll agree to 3.67% refinement. That allows you to use it for energy. Trump said, no, you can't even do that in your own country. That's where I'm picking up here. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, they want them to be dependent on other countries to refine the uranium and then bring it in for their hospitals, for their energy. That leaves them completely dependent on outside countries. So the 3.67 threshold was what the Iranians said they would not give up, because if they

gave that up, that means that they got to go outside the country and import their refined uranium power sources. That is too risky for them. And this is what this guy constantly says was the deal that Trump gave them. He gave them a deal. No uranium enrichment. That's a threat. That's not a deal. It's saying we won't attack you if you give up your own prerogative to be able to have nuclear power that you can control. You've got to give up your own control over nuclear power or else we're going to attack you?

What the heck? He says, second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of civilian nuclear power and uranium enrichment. These are distinct issues. Really? Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment. This is what I'm telling you. This is what they kept saying.

You can have your nuclear power, but guess what? You can't enrich inside your own country, which means it's not really their own nuclear power because again, they're dependent on other countries to get the stuff. So, he's absolutely lying by omission. He's comparing apples and oranges here. That's really unscrupulous. And he's not stupid. He says, these are distinct issues. Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that. Yeah, that's right, because it's against their own national security interests and against their power base.

How can they have power if they can't rely on what they can do themselves? He says, it's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity. You need the enrichment capacity to have control over your nuclear refinement. And they were open to inspections. You're not mentioning that, are you? You're not mentioning Tulsi. And it's still another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic nonproliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons

grade uranium. See, he says right to the point. No, not weapons grade, still beneath weapons grade, but now stating we could push it further if you keep pushing us because you've been pushing us this whole time. You see how he tries to do this? They're trying to shape this for a narrative that's very close to the truth, but not the truth. This is really, really underhanded what this guy is doing. This shows you what this guy's character is like. This is not good at all. If this is revelatory of anything, it's how much you should not trust JD Vance. Big time.

He says, he says, I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. It's not your place to say, dude. You don't get to run Iran. Get it? I don't think you understand. Why aren't you saying the same things about the Israelis who have been aggressive in the area for 70 years?

Well, I'm not hearing that. Is it because you're all on the payroll? I don't know. Then he says, I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran has justified, it was justified in violating its nonproliferation obligations. That's not true. They didn't violate them. They didn't violate them.

And yet to see a single good, and I have yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings. Well, the IAEA's findings suddenly changed after the IAEA leadership got replaced, got, well, the leader died and got replaced by a pro-Zionist guy. Even the IAEA report didn't cite them as creating nuclear weapons. It just said they had the capacity to do so. He says this, I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue.

Well, leave it at that. Not to belabor it. So I just wrote this. I said, he said, oh, so then somebody commented and they said, this is, they said, you're saying Tulsi and the 18 US intelligence bodies backing the opposite findings listening eight weeks ago are wrong or lying? And he says, no, I'm not saying that. First of all, Tulsi's testimony was in March, and a lot has changed since then. Oh yeah, they suddenly just grew nuclear weapons in a mushroom patch out back.

Second, if you look at what she said then, her point about uranium enrichment is consistent with what I wrote above. You mean the way you tried to shave it, to say that their civilian enrichment is somehow leading towards a weapons-grade enrichment? That everything that has been pushed along on them is somehow by them? I said this. I said no, it's not consistent with what you wrote. Your statement is subtly misleading. The Iranians changed their long-term promise that they would not pursue weapons-grade

enrichment after repeated threats and violent actions by Israel and the US. They said that they would reserve the right to enrich for that purpose because of US-Israeli aggression. The US so-called proposal that the Iranians could so-called continue with nuclear power included a demand that the power level enrichment be done outside Iran, which would leave them utterly vulnerable and ran contrary to the original agreement Obama had negotiated and Trump dumped. Every aspect of this conflict has been generated by the U.S. and Israel and the Iranian negotiators,

those you and the IDF might not have murdered yet, are left to not trust any word any of you ever utter. Your actions are shameful, utterly unconstitutional, and could bring you all up for war crime trials. I think that's factual. There you go. Hopefully that's okay. And who is that bald guy, that shaven-headed guy? So hopefully that's okay and provides good information for you on that. And I want to add a quick couple pieces of information that could be really worthwhile,

that are more breaking pieces of information that reiterate just what we've been saying. Here is one of the top people for the IAEA, IAEA Director General Grossi on CNN. And the funny thing is, I don't know about you, but when I saw this, that image in the back, and you know, him on the screen and stuff, I thought, boy, this looks like it's 25 years old, but it's not. So he's stating what we've been stating. He's stating what Tulsi Gabbard has been saying,

completely contrary to what JD Vance is trying to massage, here he is with Christiane Amanpour, and this was Making the Rounds, and I'm glad it was yesterday. I mean there is this competition about who is wrong or right about the time that would be needed. Certainly it was not for tomorrow, maybe not a matter of years. I would there be perhaps more serious about this, and I don't think it was a matter of years. But this is speculation. Why?

I go again to the beginning of my comment. These things we don't know, because if there was some activity which was clandestine or hidden or away from our inspectors, we couldn't know. What we informed and what we reported was that we did not have, as in coincidence with some of the sources you mentioned there, that we did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon. I mean, there is this... There you go. We do not have any proof. He says all this is speculation. All that stuff that they're speculating, we don't know. Let's get your thoughts. I want to thank Anti-War News for Let's get your thoughts. I want to thank Antiwar News for spreading the word about this program. And I want to thank also everybody inside Rumble watching the David Knight show and comments from

Nicholas Armstrong. These people are sick guard. They don't even get let in this in the game if they aren't egotistical narcissist psychopaths with no morals or conscience. He also says no way the government is lying about involvement in bombing Iran. They wouldn't do that. Everything the government says is the truth. Yeah. Wow. I like sarcasm, man.

I like that a lot. Now let's take a moment grab some coffee grab some water and then round this round do this final round up here round off everything by hearing from some great folks like Max Blumenthal and others and please pray for David Knight what a great. And please take the opportunity if you get the chance to head over to the David Knight show.com and check out the store there because I think you'll really like it. And you can check out many of the things that will help support the program. The Russians are telling me, we're gonna play a little bit of, how about some of this wonderful music that David Knight put together

based on the last of the Mohicans soundtrack. What a movie. ["The Last of the Mohicans"] I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to try. I'm going to try to get the The The Making sense. Common again. You're listening to the David Knight Show. A minute. Where am I?

Sorry, Jefferson. The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy. Despicable. This is outrageous. I spent my life fighting centralized power. Now the Federal Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money. Tell me there's some good news to all this.

Well there is a coin they can't control, one that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the FedUp, the all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin. Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out, with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly. They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to. The truth doesn't need inflation, only support. Great stuff. Great stuff designed by Jason Barker. What an amazing talent that man is. Knights of the Storm. Fantastic. And you know, it's always great to think about the charity

of others at times when you're going through stress and then try to do the same thing. And I wanna point out one figure who has popped up in all of this and give this man a lot of credit. You're probably familiar with Rick Steves. Rick Steves, the travel host on public television. I'm not a fan of public television. I don't like when people are earning money

off of other people's backs. Sometimes people don't recognize that the public funding of something is deriving something from someone against their will. They think that it's all part of some giant kumbaya, love and kisses sort of thing. But you might have experienced the same thing I did during the stupid lockdowns

when people couldn't travel around. One of the things I really enjoyed was watching travel shows. And Rick Steves, you know, going through Europe just made you think, okay, I'm gonna make it over there someday. I'm gonna get to Austria. I'm gonna go to, you know,

I'm gonna go to Scotland or wherever, right? And he always has a positive attitude. I'm going to give you the the late the layout of Rick Steves and one of the great things that Rick Steves has done in his area after I play you this on the David Knight show. Go ahead. The great opportunity to go to Iran with the public television TV crew to make a show. People ask me, why are you going to Iran? And I thought about it. Why am I going to Iran? And it occurred to me, I'm going here because I think it's good character to know people before you bomb them.

bomb them. Sometimes we have to kill people, but it should hurt, and it is a nation's inclination to dehumanize its enemies before we go kill them. So I went to Iran. It occurred to me when I was in Iran, I was afraid to go here. And when I got there, I was so glad I had the courage to go there. And I learned once again that fear, and there's a lot of it in our society, fear is to me for people who don't get out very much.

Now, when you go to Iran, it's a thriving country of 70 million people. I want to know what makes them tick. I'm in their capital city, Tehran, with about 12 million people, and there's a veneer of hatred there. I mean, look at the banner there. It's an eight-story tall American flag made out of dropping bombs and skulls for Stars and Stripes, saying, Down with America. And we've all heard about Death to America and so on. I was in a taxi in that traffic jam there later on that day. It was just silent

and suddenly my driver just bursts out, death to traffic. And I thought, no, wait a minute, I thought it was death to Israel or death to America. He said, right now it's death to traffic. And I said, well, what's with that? And he said, here in Iran, anytime something's frustrating to us and out of our control, we say death to them. And I thought about that. I thought, boy, I'm so glad I'm here to understand this with a little more sophistication than a bumper sticker. So he speaks Farsi, he doesn't speak English, he's translating it directly, and to him,

he's saying damn that. And I thought, well, have I ever said damn something? Have I ever thought, you know, damn those teenagers? Well, yeah, damn that. And I thought, well, have I ever said damn something? Have I ever thought, damn those teenagers? Well, yeah, I have. And do I really want them to die and burn in hell for eternity? No. It's just after midnight.

Turn down the music. Damn those teenagers. So when we travel, we gain a little better appreciation of what is the baggage that people are carrying when they respond to us. Think of the baggage we have in our country after 9-11. We're a mighty nation of 300 million people. We lost 3,000 people on 9-11 10 years ago, and it's part of our baggage, just like for our parents it was the Depression and World War II and so on. Well, Iran's got baggage, and we need to understand that if we're going to deal

with them smartly. Their baggage, and they've got one quarter of our population, is losing several hundred thousand people when Saddam Hussein, funded by the United States, invaded their country. Now, I don't know if we really funded them, but they think they did, or we did, and that is baggage. And when you travel around Iran, every town's got a vast martyr's cemetery filled with victims of that war. And for me to see a widow sitting on the tomb of a dead loved one as she's done every week for decades,

knowing the propaganda she's lived through and the struggles she's lived through, that's baggage. I gotta understand what she's going through if I can understand their country better. what she's going through if I can understand their country better. Now, the other part of this about Rick Steves is over at my ex feed, and it has nothing to do with the wars or, you know, the Ted Cruz absurdity of demanding that the United States get involved with attacking Iran. It's this, and I noted this over in my ex feed. I said, thank you very much for posting this. I found out a few years ago that Mr.

Steeves also donated the apartment building he owned to become a shelter for homeless people. God bless him. He did. The building's worth, I think, four million dollars. And he actually set about buying the apartment building, knowing that in a number of years when he got ready to retire, he would give the building up to, I believe there's a YWCA there that allows people to stay there for a certain period of time. So that's the character of Rick Steves Wow, isn't that great? That is just Fantastic and he's always so upbeat and so on and just to have a little a little spark of that a little nugget of That when I go out, you know to try to bring a smile on somebody's face here there or it just it

You know even if maybe somebody's having a bad day if you can compliment them on their hat or their nice new shoes or, you know, whatever it might be, or, hey, I like those earrings or something like that, they brighten, it brightens their day. And that's the sort of character that I admire a lot. So in the midst of all this trouble and turmoil, you got a guy like Rick Steves who's going out there trying to meet people and understand people

and also understanding something that actually provides us some perspective because here in the United States when we hear the Iranians say death to America now perhaps we understand that at least a certain portion of them don't actually want the utter destruction of the United States. But if they do call for the destruction of say Israel or the United States, the Zionist project, let's say they're asking for the destruction of Israel. Why would they want to eliminate the state of Israel? Maybe it's because it's an occupying force there. Maybe that's one of the reasons they wanna get rid of the state of Israel, because

it doesn't belong there. It was put there on land that was stolen from people with the canard of people with no nation, people with no land to a land with no people, which was utterly ridiculous in the 1940s as they came down from Eastern Europe and took over with the help of the Brits and the Americans. Now a couple of the things that I want to mention about the Ted Cruz situation. The Ted Cruz story continues real quick with this one. Sarah Gonzales says, I will never forget this Tucker Ted Cruz exchange as long as I live. Here we go.

I'm asking about your allegation and the Prime Minister of Israel's allegation that is that Iran is trying to murder the president. Killing terrorists is a good thing. Killing people who are trying to murder Americans is a good thing. Because if you're America first, you want to protect America.

And so taking out, killing Osama bin Laden was a fantastic day for the world. But you don't really believe that they're trying to murder Trump or yes, I do. Yes, I do Why aren't you calling for military action against Tehran right now? Because they're not very effective in terms of hitmen. Their hitmen are not very effective I do think so. They're hitmen, but not the bad kind the efficient kind No, they're just saying they're a weak country who is on its knees and I think we need to and why are we so afraid of? Them why they're the biggest threat if they're a weak country that's on its knees?

Because they're trying... I'm trying to keep track. They're trying to develop... Be a little less snarky. I know, you're right. That is a problem. Again, that's the guy with the power of taxation or putting you in jail telling Tucker Carlson as he goes about a process of completely giving the middle finger to the US Constitution,

he's telling Tucker Carlson to be less snarky. If that isn't an encapsulation of the way that the political rulers over you and me, look at us. Shut up, be a little less snarky. Don't bring up this logic chain so quickly. I can't respond this quickly. You just have to march in lockstep. Don't be so snarky. Don't be so snarky as they're talking about bombing people in Iran. Let me give you an idea of one of the people who would have been bombed if they did this about two weeks ago.

That would have been Max Blumenthal. Remember if you were watching Liberty Conspiracy Wednesday night, no, Tuesday night, we showed, it had just happened pretty much, some of that footage from Iran, from that television broadcast center. And it's more than that. It's a conference center. There's a bunch of stuff attached to it. It's a very big building. And the woman who was up there,

and at that time I had not found a version that had been translated through AI using the tones of her voice to give us what she actually said. Judge Napolitano did. I also did not know that not only did that woman not show incredible fear as she just walked away while the place was getting bombed, with armaments most likely provided by our tax money, we snarky people.

How dare us How dare us be snarky when we might kill that woman? She's up there Talking and I said on my program. I said what if that was your your sister or your daughter? Doing her job Let's hear from Max Blumenthal and the judge. Check this out. members of the United States Congress but watch this. How many people live around by the way? I don't know the population at all. No, I don't know the population.

You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple? How many people live in Iran? 92 million. Okay. Yeah, how could you not know that? I don't sit around memorizing population tables. Well it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government. Why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million?

Why is that relevant? Well, because if you don't know anything about the country... I didn't say I don't know anything about the country. Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran? They are Persians and predominantly Shia. Okay, this is... No, it's not even... You don't know anything about Iran, so actually the country...

Okay, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. You're a senator who's calling for the overwhelming government and you're the one who claims... You're the one who claims... No, you don't know anything about the country. You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. No, I'm not saying that. You're the one who can't figure out that it was a good idea to kill General Soleimani and you said it was bad. You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump? Yes, I do.

Because you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation. If you really believe that... We're carrying out military... Right, with our help. I'm saying we. Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them. Well, you're breaking news here because the US government last night denied, the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity. We're not bombing then Israel's bombing them. You just said we were

We are supporting Israel is it your senator if you're saying the United States government is it not worth Iran right now people are listening Absolutely dynamite decimation of Ted Cruz decimation of Ted Cruz. And this shows you what Ted Cruz really is. It's just a hollow shell for APAC. His top advisor on this issue, I'm not sure if he's still in his office, but for years and years, I think he still is, is named Omri Serin, and this just came to me, and he's an Israeli. He is an Israeli who is in the United States

to burrow within the national security architecture and lead figures like Ted Cruz to use the US military, its assets, and our blood and treasure as Americans on behalf of this tiny little foreign apartheid state. And Omari Sarrin's wife, Meraj, was actually inserted into the Trump administration without anyone knowing by Mike Waltz. And she was finally drummed out about three weeks ago.

So that's who Ted Cruz is really answering to. It's why we call him Tel Aviv Ted, and Tucker exposed him because he doesn't understand anything about Iranian society or that it's not going to be a cakewalk as we were told in advance of the Iraq war to enact regime change in Iran. Iran does have a clerical leadership, but Ayatollah Khamenei is very, very popular, including with people with grievances with the government. And below him are institutions in which people actually, that people actually believe in that are functioning, which people will defend.

As we saw when Israel launched a terrorist airstrike on IRIB, which is Iran's version of VOA or PBS or NPR. It's its national broadcasting facility. I actually participated in a public conference in that building, in that very complex, just a few weeks ago. And the building was bombed. The media broadcasters knew it was going to be bombed. They stayed on air and during the bombing, they stayed in the building while it was burning and they continued to stay on air to demonstrate their belief, their

support for just the Islamic Republic generally as an independent country. And so that's going to be a huge problem. Ted Cruz doesn't understand that, but he doesn't even know the population. The population of Tehran itself is significantly larger than Israel's. This is a regional powerhouse, and Ted Cruz thinks it's just another tin pot dictatorship or that when the dictator leaves, as in Syria, that the whole thing's going to collapse. So that's why that's significant. Watch this female reporter on air.

There's a translation. When the bombs hit and then I'm sure you know this, she was back on air about an hour later on the other side of the building and also an hour later we interviewed Professor Morandi from the basement of the building and also an hour later we interviewed Professor Miranda from the basement of the building but here's the actual explosion as captured live on Iranian television. If you hear the voice of an invader on the homeland, it is the voice of an aggressor against truth and justice. What you observe, the sound you heard

is the murky, dust- laden voice of the studio. Now, as I mentioned, this is not a melody. As I mentioned, everybody, when that video first came out, I heard conservative talk radio hosts mocking that woman, laughing, laughing about that. That's really, really what drove my mind to think about my sister or my mom or my niece. Just despicable, unbelievable. And again, that man was in that building three weeks ago. We'll continue with the judge and Max. Very targeted. I thought they were targeting military sites.

No, and this is classic Israeli behavior. This is a country that has deliberately murdered scores and scores as many as 200 journalists in the Gaza Strip. Hossam Shabbat, for example, of Al Jazeera. Ismail Al Ghul was decapitated by an Israeli drone in his car, and now they're targeting this massive media complex which has no military value whatsoever, which I visited. That building was built in 1940. It's a vast, very elegant building in which public conferences are held and they broadcast

and millions and millions of Iranians watch that network every day or the various networks. There are also other programs including children's programs that are broadcast from there. So this is reminiscent of the US military's attack on a Serbian TV station during its destruction of Yugoslavia and it is a terrorist act. It is classic state terror and what we saw there was resistance in action, the resistance of Iranian media professionals who want to keep broadcasting because they believe that they are telling the truth that Western corporate media refuses to tell. And in Iran, something I experienced visiting people in their private homes, especially

middle class people, was that they have satellite TV. And satellite TV there is dominated by BBC Persia, which is a very sophisticated regime change vehicle run with support of the British Foreign Office and British intelligence, and Iran International, which is now almost officially aligned with Israel and Saudi Arabia and just hosted Benjamin Netanyahu for an exclusive interview. What's taking place in Iran is civilians are being slaughtered. People are being given 3 a.m. evacuation orders

and being forced to pack up their belongings while their homes are being destroyed. Mossad has recruited thousands of assets in the country who are blowing up cars on roadsides, terrorizing people, and civilians are under... So let's pause it there. I thought it was the Iranians that were gonna have terror cells in the United States.

Right? Strange how the Israeli Mossad, and we've seen it on video. We've seen them capturing these guys. We've seen how they used over the shoulder missiles to hit apartment complexes inside Tehran. They had them inside there. It's not the Israelis that are hanging out

in Manchester, New Hampshire. I mean, it's not the Iranians. It's not the Iranian terror cells that are killing people right now. And when they see someone like the Shah's son, the son of Reza Pahlavi support these terrorist attacks, or they see Netanyahu be hosted by Iran International. It discredits those regime change vehicles, and when they see this resistance, that woman

has become a symbol across the region, and it defeats the entire calculus of regime change. So I think Israel has miscalculated here if it thinks it's going to achieve regime change in the coming day. Excellent stuff. And I wanna turn to round this off to Richard Medhurst, who simply for covering what was going on in Palestine is now up on charges for,

they haven't really brought any evidence against by the British government for some sort of espionage dealing with the enemy even though of course he was simply reporting on what was going on in the ground inside Gaza. Richard Medhurst. Here is Richard Medhurst talking a little bit about Benjamin Netanyahu. He says, Tucker Carlson's only mistake with Cruz was not knowing or not putting it to Ted Cruz that Netanyahu is Polish and his real name is Milikowski. Every single Israeli PM comes from Eastern Europe and changed their name to sound more Middle Eastern and biblical. Most of us already know this, but I think it's worth reiterating this. When we talk about anti-Semitism as it's being

framed in the United States, as it's being leveraged against us, as it's being hammered down on people who are simply asking for peace on college campuses or for their universities to divest, those universities getting federal money that they shouldn't get according to the Constitution in the first place. Here's Richard. When I show you what I'm about to show you, your mind will be blown. You're going to be blindsided. Every single Israeli prime minister has a fake name.

Do you know that? I was just talking about Ben Gurion. Do you know what his original name is? It's Grün. G-R-U-E-N. He changed it to make it sound more Jewish and sound more Middle Eastern. Do you know what Netanyahu's real name is? It's not Netanyahu, it's Malkovsky. I swear to God, go and look it up. You'll find Malkovsky.

That's his real name. Remember what Israelis are. Israelis are European Jews. They don't come from Palestine, but they want to make, they want you to make you believe. They want to, they want to make believe and make you believe that they come from this area, that they are indigenous to the land, that they're so Jewish, right? Even though they have no connection. So they change their names. Here's another one. Moshe Sharad. His name is Chertok originally. So there's a lot more there, but for the sake of brevity,

let's now go to more and bring it back to the final pieces about Ted Cruz and now the Bible as Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson, the segments are coming out. And first we're going to go with this one. And then we'll get back to the point that I made about Mike Huckabee. Do you think that it's just interesting because what you're now describing in a very defensive way I will say is foreign influence over our politics. And you began, and it's so transparently obvious to everybody, I don't know why you'd be embarrassed of it.

You've said that you are sincerely for Israel. I believe you. I don't think you have some weird agenda. You seem to by the way here by the way Tucker. It's a very weird thing The obsession with Israel we're talking about foreign countries hardly an obsession you're not talking about Chinese you're not talking about Japanese You're not talking about the British. You're not talking about the French the question. What about the Jews? What about the Jews? Oh, I'm an anti-semite now the senator you're asking the question Me you're asking why are the Jews controlling our foreign policy?

That's what you just asked. I am hardly saying that. That is exactly what you just said. Well, actually, I can speak for myself and tell you what I am saying. On behalf not simply of myself, but of my many Jewish friends who would have the same questions, which is to what extent, and it's interesting you're trying to derail my questions by calling me an anti-Semite, which you are. I did not. Of course you are.

And rather than be honorable enough to say it right to my face, you are in a sleazy, feline way implying it, or just asking questions about the Jews. I'm not asking questions about the Jews. This has nothing to do with Jews or Judaism. It has to do with the foreign government. Isn't Israel controlling our foreign policy?

That's not about the Jews. You said, I'm asking you. You're the one that just called me. I think it's sleazy feline. So let's see it clear to imply that I'm an anti-semite, which you just did. No, I just said, why is that question you're asking? You answer it. Give me another reason. If you're not an anti-semite, give me another reason.

There you go. If you ask a question, you're an anti-semite, just like those college students, can't do that at all. Not at all. And let's check this one out as we talk about the Bible. Here we go. Growing up in Sunday school, I was taught from the Bible, those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. And from my perspective, I want to be on the blessing side of things.

Those who bless the government of Israel? Those who bless Israel is what it says. It doesn't say the government of it says the nation of Israel. So that's in the Bible. As a Christian, I believe that. Where is that? I can find it to you. I don't have the scripture off the tip of my, you pull out the phone and use the Google. It's in Genesis, but so you're quoting a Bible phrase. You don't have context for it

and you don't know where in the Bible it is, but that's like your theology? I'm confused. What does that even mean? Tucker. I'm a Christian. I wanna know what you're talking about. Where does my support for Israel come from?

Number one, because biblically, we are commanded to support Israel, but number two. Hold on. I'm not holding on. No, no, no. Hold on. You're a senator and now you're throwing out theology and I am a Christian and I am allowed to weigh in on this. We are commanded as Christians to support the government of Israel?

We are commanded to support Israel. And we're told- What does that mean, Israel? We're told those who bless Israel will be blessed. But what, hold on, define Israel. This is important. are you kidding? This is majority Christian country. Define Israel, do you not know what Israel is?

That would be the country you've asked like 49 questions about. So that's what Genesis, that's what God is talking about in Genesis. The nation of Israel, yes. And so is that the current borders, the current leadership? He's talking about the political entity called Israel? He's talking about the nation of Israel.

Yeah, nations exists and he's discussing a? He's talking about the nation of Israel. Yeah, nations exist, and he's discussing a nation. A nation was the people of Israel. Is the nation God's referring to in Genesis, is that the same as the country run by Benjamin Netanyahu right now? Yes. Yes. It is. And by the way, it's not run by Benjamin Netanyahu as a dictator.

It's a democratic country that elected- I'm not saying he's a dictator. He's the prime minister. What? Right. But just like, you know, America is the country run by Donald Trump No, actually the American people elected Donald Trump the same principle. This is silly I'm talking about the political entity of modern Israel. Yes, and that is you believe that's what God was talking about in Genesis

I do but but that country's existed since when For thousands of years now There was a time when it didn't exist and that was recreated just over seven minutes i'm saying i think most people understand line in genesis to refer to the jewish people dot shows in people that's not what it says it israel but you don't even know where in the bible it is

okay there you go. Yes, so I would love to play that a second time, especially with there were a couple hiccups there. But so incredibly Ted Cruz, just like Mike Huckabee, is buying into this idea that the nation of Israel means a political entity and Tucker Carlson makes a very good point there he makes it very clear simply by asking questions saying are you saying that the state of Israel is the same as Christ's covenant because this is a Christian Zionist and this is Mike Huckabee's position. They have no problem destroying people's lives inside Gaza, wiping out Palestinians,

destroying the West Bank, fighting with the Lebanese, and now attacking Iran to fulfill and now attacking Iran to fulfill what they think is a biblical prophecy of a nation state, which it is not, it is not a nation state. It's the followers of Christ. If you are a Christian, you should get it. And that's why Dave DeKamp, who is a Catholic, brought it up and says, this is blasphemous. That's absolutely correct, 100% correct. It's very clear. It's unbelievable.

The people who represent the nation state of Israel don't even think that Christ is the Savior. It's just, it's logically ridiculous. It's biblically unsound and Ted Cruz buys into it Maybe he buys into it and I'll say this over because he's been corrupted by foreign investment of money Or he has Israeli advisors or maybe it's the other way around Maybe he believes in his Christian Zionism so much that he openly adopted all these people to come work with him. I don't know which it is.

But Ted Cruz made an utter, utter fool of himself. That's for darn sure. And instead, I would prefer to go with a guy like Rick Steves who actually travels to these places and talks to people and appreciates the fact that they are individuals with real lives. And of course you don't have to go to a place to know that maybe they have a right to be left alone. They have natural rights.

But just like I mentioned to a talk radio host in Boston and said, look, the constitution is a machine for the US government. It's how the machine is supposed to operate. It doesn't mean that it operates a different way when it's applied to foreigners who are on the soil of a state. It's the way it works. Do process habeas corpus for everybody

unless Congress openly lifts the writ of habeas corpus and that applies to everybody as well. So therefore you could be held without trial or anything, indefinitely. And we get talk radio hosts like Jeff Kooner saying, no, no, foreigners don't have natural rights. He calls them constitutional rights as if they're granted beneficently,

blessed on us by a document that was signed by people without our agreement. And that's why, again, as a volunteerist, as an anarchist, I mentioned just the fact that, hey, listen, I would be satisfied if the US government could get a little closer to the federalist concept and the restrictions that were applied by the US Constitution. I would prefer to have the Articles of Confederation

because they had no central excise tax power and no central tariff tax power. And those are always gained. The excise tax led to the whiskey rebellion. The whiskey rebellion wasn't really a rebellion. It was whiskey makers in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio who were upset that the feds had applied an excise tax to them.

The feds were not invited in to collect the tax. And so Alexander Hamilton had a judge outside of Pennsylvania say, Pennsylvania is in rebellion and insurrection under these whiskey makers. And then Washington led an army larger than the army of the Potomac on those whiskey makers and then Washington led an army larger than the army of the Potomac on those whiskey makers. This is analogous to what's going on with the immigration situation because the word immigration is not in the U.S. Constitution and in order for any federal troops

to go into a state according to Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution, they have to be invited by the legislature or the governor if the legislature is out of session. So all the things that Donald Trump is doing with the Marines or the ICE agents or the FBI or the National Guard, all of that is patently ridiculously unconstitutional. But the precedent was set, again, in a negative way, by George Washington. That's how we live in the shadow of wrongdoing going back over 240 years. That's the problem that we're running into now.

This is a major, major disconnect between what the founders wrote. And again, as an anarchist, I'll say this, I didn't sign up to it, you didn't sign up to it. No contract is valid if it's forced on somebody. That's not a contract, that's aggression. So it's invalid for a group of people, as noble as they were, to get together in 1787

in Philadelphia and say, we're going to write down on a piece of paper that we're going to create this government and slots of power that people can fill over other people. We are going to claim a certain amount of power over people, and then we're going to put restrictions in there. Well, the very assumption that they can assume power over other people invites other folks who want that power. And their acquisitive mindset, their duplicitous mindset means that they will find every means to get more power. They'll create false flags

and create more of a police state. They'll say that the environment is massively endangered by a canard called climate, anthropogenic climate change, and they'll manipulate the data on it through climate gate one and two. They'll bring in people like Michael Mann, pay him lots of money through government subsidies to colleges, again unconstitutional, and he won't show his data

that created the hockey stick graph, which starts in the medieval, institutional, and he won't show his data that created the hockey stick graph, which starts in the medieval, in the, in the mini ice age, the little ice age, and doesn't show the medieval warming period that came before it. So it makes it look like that concurrent with the introduction of the internal combustion engine, there was this massive uptick that had never happened before in temperatures. When if you actually go back every 1500 years, the temperature cycles that way. As Fred Singer, now rest in peace Fred, put in his book, Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years. It's a solar cycle. Unbelievable. Incredible. With that, we're gonna break out of that information, interesting

biblical information coming from many people with whom I've spoken because I've only been introduced really to the Bible thanks to David's ministry and meeting a number of other folks in the David Knight community. I had been teaching political philosophy that got me interested and I read The Case for Christ by Lee Struble and Then I read Cold Case Christianity, which was recommended by David Excellent books and so now I'm familiar with some of this information many people way far ahead of me And I'm just glad I lived long enough to get some salvation here and understand the way What Christ said and the way that the world is shaped by God.

But in addition to that, a lot of the folks who have been contributing along the way here in this program and in this movement for speaking up for individual liberty, leaving one's neighbor alone, and trying to have peace has been Tony Arterburn. A man, a soldier, who himself has spent time in foreign lands and had a lot to say afterwards when he realized that he

might have been given some false information. We're gonna go with what I often do on Liberty Conspiracy, which is we do a Vulcan mind meld. Some people don't know I spent time in the script department of Star Trek Voyager, and also the script department of The Outer Limits. And so on Liberty Conspiracy, Monday through Friday, 6 p.m., I often take the opportunity to chat with people, and I use the old Star Trek mind meld. Tony Ardeburn coming up on the David Knight Show. Eternity ends.

Our minds are merging, Doctor. Our minds are one. I feel what you feel. I know what you know. Yes, it's the mind meld, and let's bring on our guest. He got to fill in for David and did a fantastic job. He is at the headquarters of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange in Branson, Missouri. He is Tony Arteberg, my friend and fellow conspirator. Hi Tony.

Good morning. How are you? Good morning Gar. Good to see you. I would, I would, we got a little bit of echo there. Hold on real quick. All right. It might be my end or it might be StreamYard. You know how StreamYard's been done doing some of these tweaks once in a while? Yeah, I'm not sure. Let me do one thing here, bud. Let's see how you're doing now.

Is that better? There we go. All right. Yeah, there's some that might have been whatever he had pulled up double audio. Yep. Yep. Cool. Yeah, we have to we have to take extra extra moves once in a while now. When we're showing things on a screen because stream yard, they do these tweaks and stream yards great, but they don't tell you they do the tweaks. Well, that's fine with me. And I was just gonna open with a show, Spock, you know, mind melding with bones. And I just think, you know, I, I love you too much. I would never do that to you. I would not want I would not want what's in here to be in there, just for your own safety and spiritual health.

and spiritual health. Fascinating times. Interesting to watch what happens in my wheelhouse. It's wealth and warfare. I look at the big macro economic pictures, fiat currency, monetary system. That's where I usually go every day after I do a little bit of daily reading and I set my goals and I look at Intel, and that's where I go first. But my show last Thursday, daily reading and I set my goals and I look at Intel and that's where I go first.

But my show last Thursday, so a week ago today, I ended with the last 20 minutes and I said, okay, so this is what's probably most important thing going on. And that was the push in the white house to get Trump to strike Iran. You know, people like Mark Levin lobbying very hard, you know, all of the of the the neocon players all the people that are still make up the power structure of the Republican party, even though this says it's MAGA or America first it's just Window dressing, you know, they just put they just made that It's kind of a it's a construct so they could get people to adhere to their program, you know, and it's still very much active anyway that's what I said, so Friday the 13th kicks off and then you've got

this strike and So many things happening all at once I'm gonna cover today in my show Just I try to drill down and see exactly where we stand with this but it doesn't look good and I think the interesting part about all of it with the economics of it, Gard, is those are rational players that, like, if you want to think the market is rational, the rational players have been like, oh, well, they pull back a bit. They're like, this is going to be contained geographically. That's the sentiment that I'm reading from the macro picture of the financial

world when it comes to this because gold and silver both pull back. Crude hasn't really even bumped significantly, but I think they're wrong. Yeah, Tony, these people have to be aware that 40% of the world's energy goes through the Strait of Hormuz. Aren't they aware of that? Are they, do they have any clue? What? I mean, I would think that they'd be aware of that. That's insane. It just doesn't it because I think there's a fatigue. There's a headline fatigue. Yeah. Yeah. But the danger here. So there's nothing more frightening to me than ideological stupidity. And when you look at somebody like Ted Cruz, which I've been calling this for years, I felt like I was a lunatic for a while. I was like, nobody

thinks that I'm right here about, you know, especially, you know, in North Texas politics, it's like they're just blinded by this faction that's so pro-war and of course Middle Eastern centric because of Christian Zionism and they hoist these guys up like Ted Cruz like there's some kind of genius and if you see in the Tucker Carlson interview this is not somebody that this is not a mental giant that has been doing the heavy lifting in his mind about why why do you believe what you believe You know and you can't answer it. Yeah, you know, I forgot you had that Texas connection and And I've heard many times that Ted Cruz is a bright guy, you know, I everybody's pretty bright

I think that they're they're just either they're devoting their attention to other things or they're being corrupted by something for certain gain in their lives and they just become accustomed to spouting that sort of stuff. It was very clear watching Tucker Carlson what was reality and what wasn't reality. And Ted Cruz just kept walking along like he was the emperor with no clothes. Everything was fine. I've seen this before. And I've the good news is, is that whatever that is, like that political ideology that is hijacked so much of the conservative movement where I'm from, we would have made huge strides regionally economically

over the past 30 or 40 years with all the energy and all the grassroots, their passion and everything, but they always get side, they always get pushed to the side or they always get misdirected by this. And that's where you get that we, you know, it's like, hey, we got to shrink the size of government also grow the American empire. Those two things don't go together. government also grow the American empire. Those two things don't go together. You know, and then you get people that aren't serious about doing anything really for this nation because they're fixated like idolatry on a foreign nation.

This is, this is politics in Texas. I've seen it over and over. I mean, you know, I was excommunicated in so many ways because I didn't bow down and worship this the way that they do because I poked holes in it. I don't believe that. I'm for this country. I'm for the best interests of this country. The best interest of this country is to stay out of no-win, unconstitutional Middle Eastern

wars with no benefit strategically or morally to the United States of America. Absolutely. Absolutely. You hurt yourself doing it. And that's well known. And there was a poll out that only like 16% of Americans support this. And I want to know who that 16% is. Do they miss hear the question?

Why would you support this? I mean, you have to be, something's wrong with you. Yeah. And you know, Tony, it goes towards when the stories were first coming out about October 7th. And my spidey sense was going off saying, I just don't see how the attackers from Hamas could do that. And I knew that Israel had supported Hamas and the United States had paid Hamas. And, you know,

you know the history of the Israeli occupation there and the creation of the Israeli state, the whole thing is massively immoral and corrupt and evil. And you just say to yourself, this is nuts. And, and with my last name Goldsmith, as I mentioned, you know, I went to Boston university, I would hear a lot of the Ashkenazi, pro-Zionist Jewish people. I didn't really know what was going on,

but they would describe Palestinians as insects and animals that needed to be eliminated. And I thought, what are you talking about? That's insane. That's their land. I don't understand. And it strikes me as I mentioned when that happened, I said, listen, whatever one's opinion is about this struggle, how about you just leave me out of it?

Could I be left alone? And that again, philosophically, that goes towards my anarchist, you know, what I would offer to a classroom, you know, a lecture hall when I'm teaching political philosophy to say, look, you know, all political systems rope people in who don't want to be part of it. And the best thing to do is to pair off as many of those things, even if you have to have the state, if people are stuck with the state, which I don't think there's a have to, but if you're stuck with it, at least recognize that maybe it's the neighborly thing not to tell somebody I'm taking your money for your defense and I'm gonna have Nikki Haley sign weapons

and send them off to a foreign land to kill innocent people. Maybe that moral quandary shouldn't be foist on your stinking neighbor. How about that? And then they tell you it's for your own good. That's insane. This is collectivism of defense And this is the problem that I always come to which is they'll use national defense for anything now

They're saying we got RFK jr. Saying well, you know if you're critical of the state of Israel, that's a mental pathology I'm in the health department in the United States now We're gonna use this angle to claim that you're anti-semitic and that's a pathology. It's nuts They'll use any angle they can for your protection. Yeah, the Soviets did that. Yeah. Under Stalin, if you criticized the government, if you criticized the structure, then you were mentally ill.

And of course, that always led to the backlog and then you disappearing and then them going and airbrushing you out of all photographs for the state. So you literally, it wasn't good enough that you were dead. You had to disappear. So that's what they did with critics. My heart breaks for our culture, you know, because I believe that at the heart of things, like, you know, most Americans and people that adhere to our history want to do the right thing.

So I give them the benefit of the doubt, but there's so much swept up in this. It's so dangerous. It's so insidious, this belief system that we put this foreign government ahead of all of our interests and then put it not only just in a material interest, but spiritual interest, which I find is just, and I grew up with this, and I watched it, and it was heartbreaking. I didn't really understand it in my teens, like in the late 90s. When I got back from my last war, when I'd seen what the neocons were really capable of, and just the uselessness of it, and everything that happened in the war in Iraq, when I got got home and I would, I tried to go to church and things, I run into people and you'd hear that.

Like, it's like you didn't read the Bible. You didn't hear, you didn't read the words that Jesus spoke. You didn't, you're not reading about peace and love and teaching and patience and all this other. You're talking about like nuclear weapons. Like I would hear people go always got turned into a parking lot over there, you know, yeah Genocide I just got back from that. I would never do that like that's so it's so outside and you know if you actually read the New Testament and I do every day I'm not a biblical scholar, but I try to

New Testament, and I do every day. I'm not a biblical scholar, but I try to glean as much wisdom as I can in short bursts with the time that I have. I missed all the parts about how you were supposed to enslave people and occupy and blow things up and set things off. In the New Testament, I mean, it's a new covenant. If you're a Christian, then show me, and they never can, by the way. They can't say, Christian, then show me and I've never they never can by the way. Yeah. Yeah. They like said, ah, you know, they can't show you where it says that. Now, you can get the Scofield Bible out and they can kind of twist some things into but it never it's not talking about a physical nation state. It's actually talking about God's

chosen people if you want that. So, I mean, technically, if the New Testament, we're Israel. It's like a whole if you follow, right I mean technically if the New Testament we're Israel It's like a whole thing if you follow right, but that's kind of far like that would have went over Ted's Melon he wouldn't have been able to absorb what I just said. I don't think yeah You know my mom was close to the Christian Zionist Position for a while and I used to have good conversations with her about that And I said look mom if you want to sign a check to Israel You you know you're free to do so that's you making the choice

You are not free to make a choice for another person and that's it it just ends there and Again, you know, this is anarchist philosophy but no one has that right to as Jefferson said no one is born with a saddle on his back, no one is born with a saddle on his back and no one is born with spurs to ride him, right? And Tony, I'd like to get your thoughts on something because I want to show you a headline from Antiwar. What a great, great group of people at antiwar.com.

Every show I do, I have Antiwar. Oh, it's incredible. Noon time today, folks. Tony Arterburn's new YouTube channel will talk about that. Tony, as a paratrooper, now a paratrooper, I am interested if you see this headline report, Trump privately approved plans to attack Iran, but has withheld final order.

Iran has made it clear it will hit US bases in the region if the US attacks. Now, Dave DeKamp at his midnight release on his video program, half hour program on YouTube and Rumble, Anti-war news with Dave DeKamp said he's got a pretty bad feeling about this. As I've mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy, I've been in airports so much, right? And occasionally you bump into a soldier who's in his fatigues, he's got his stuff, he's going someplace. And you might strike up a conversation.

I've had three conversations with soldiers when the United States was occupying Afghanistan, when the United States was going into Iraq. And so I'd like to get your thoughts on this because every one of them, I said, hey, you know, I know you guys swear an oath to the constitution. They say, yeah. I say, hey, you know, I know you guys swear an oath to the Constitution. They say, yeah, I say, well, there's no declaration of war.

And you know, the only thing that is supposed to allow a president to operate with the troops is a declaration of war. Otherwise they have to hire mercenaries with letters of mark and reprisal. And I said, that's against a foreign nation state. How do you feel that you're being deployed and there's no declaration of war? This is a breach of the constitution. Every one of them put their heads down and say, well, yeah, but you know, I do what they tell me or yeah, well, you know, they're my orders.

What do you, how do you, how does, as a guy from the military? Can you give us any perspective on that sort of? Stance or that that act that that behavior? Just the attitude in general I mean you you join the military as a young man or young woman and I think that Majority of people their hearts in the right place. They want to serve the nation They they love where they come from hearth and home and tradition. And they, you know, you get sold on that. And I still think it's a viable thing to love your nation or where you come from. I don't have this aversion to nationalism per se, but I do have an aversion to militarism and like the worship of that. So there's like this, I think a healthy balance. So you, yeah, in the understanding the politics of it

as a young person, you probably don't get that because you're not taught that in school. We don't know that like I was just listening to podcasts and they were like, well, when's the last time we declared war? And I know that by heart, it's World War II. And why haven't we since? Well, there's something called the UN

and there's also that you have to have a congressional oversight on the budget and everything else. And so instead of being open-ended, it would have to have timelines. And there would be some constraints from the commander-in-chief through that. That's why Johnson really pushed in kind of a continuation with Truman's police action, as he called it in Korea, Johnson really just pushed to have this kind of Gulf of Tonkin moment where the president's got this open-ended authorization. And you could read into that in multiple different ways. But I don't think the average troop doesn't,

they're not gonna look at it that way. You know, they're not gonna say, well, I'm taking part in an unconstitutional military action, not in the interest of the United States. I'm taking part in an unconstitutional military action, not in the interest of the United States. I mean, at some point they're probably sold on, you know, what they're doing. I never was, which is funny. Anybody who knew me, you know, in the 2002, 2003 range,

when I got back from Afghanistan, then immediately telling me to prep for Iraq. And I'd been in Afghanistan with we're getting, pulling people from the battlefield and they're telling us about what's going on or eat over. You could go through interpreters and hear this stuff. And I'm like, okay, so this is like, this is localized or, you know, they don't even know what they're talking about. And then you're like, well, we got to have this big push for Iraq. And I go, why? Yeah. Like I, I was only 22 at the time, but I remember going, why, you know, what

is it? What is it we're doing there? And then over and over again, you get into, they had the UN team going all around Iraq and I thought, well maybe they'll, you know, maybe this will stop it. Maybe they'll have an access and you had even live on, Saddam was dismantling these Chinese worm missiles that he had that were supposedly a violation of the peace treaty that they signed and he was like dismantling it. I thought, well certainly some, you know, this may not lead to war. I was so naive. I was 22, 23 years old. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a friend of mine was in military intelligence and it was interesting during the Cold War years because they would talk about oil as being such an important strategic asset that they had to, you know, back people like Saddam Hussein and give them weapons

of mass destruction. They had to put troops in Lebanon. And then Reagan, and you know, I have many books on that Reagan wrote and some of his speeches. He admitted he's like putting those guys in that barracks. There was the biggest mistake of his presidency. He pulled out after the bombing. And it's very interesting because they go from the strategic, we got to fight the communists, so we have to have control over oil and we have to have our allies. And even if they're bad guys,

we have to have allies against the bigger bad guys against the Soviets. Then the Soviet Union collapses. They give agreements to the Russians to say, hey, you know what, everything's cool, no problem. NATO won't expand into the former Iron Curtain countries. Wink, wink. And now we're seeing another depiction of the Russians are the bad guys when it's been

expansionism like a fungus of NATO and the United States has been backing the occupying nation state of Israel and now the excuse is, well, it's not fighting communism, it's fighting terrorism. That while the terrorist state is the Israeli state, it's unbelievable. communism, it's fighting terrorism. While the terrorist state is the Israeli state, it's unbelievable, it's insane. And somebody over on X offered that great line was, oh man, Iran sure did do a bad job putting itself

right in the middle of all those US bases, those evil people. Hey Tony, I wanna show your X feed to folks and I want them to find out where they can find you because at noontime you'll be streaming live you got that new YouTube channel so they can find you at Tony Arterburn t o n y a r t e r b u r n and of course wise wolf gold and silver You've got a lot going on there. Let's talk about the geopolitics and economics of this right now. Because as you said, it seems like there is a fatigue and people are just running on hope, or as Jackson Brown might have said, running on empty. Price of gold fluctuating a little bit,

but over the long term, the gold is regardless of what is happening elsewhere, gold retains its value. It's not fiat currency and it can't just be invented out of nowhere. They can try to manipulate it. Same thing with silver. What are you thinking about with the U.S. debt, even as we hear conservatives saying that Joe Biden really increased the debt and caused the United States to have to borrow even more. We have a $36.5 trillion debt right now, debt, and another trillion dollars every hundred days or so added to it. We got this new budget that they're pushing that Thomas Massey correctly said is going

to lead to about $20 trillion more in 10 years in debt. And so we're seeing asset classes that are starting to emerge as more people start to recognize that they are solid and me to bring up because you're always still on top of this and your business is I just you know of course full disclosure I sign up I get material from you every month that I'm sure that is shipped off that you package as part of the Wolf Pack. Well I appreciate you being a member and and we're really pushing that hard right now because I think we offer something that these other big companies don't and that's just talking to everyday people. There's nothing too big or too small we can't do.

And I look at the, if you're just tuned into our last 20 minutes of talk, I'm aware of the political rot in this kind of, I understand it. I also am a bit optimistic because I think there's a lot of opportunity for average people to take a different look at things to, you could put some other plans in motion, I believe, given that there's gonna be a need for an operating system outside of the current economic system.

You know, what David Knight calls the parallel economy, I think there's a lot of opportunity for that. And you're seeing that look, the macro picture for everything is still in line. Prior to this, these events, you know, just because the US takes itself to war unilaterally, just because it does that doesn't mean it saves the dollar doesn't mean it saves the current geopolitical, you know, hegemonic system that it built post World War Two guard, it's not going to do that. The world is moving away

from the dollar system, it's D dollar rising at a rapid rate. The financial networks are never going to tell you, like, you know, you're not going to get that kind of language from them like you're going to get from me because I'm looking at the actual metrics. And that's percentages of dollar usage, percentages of holdings by central banks. That's what matters. That's the economic system that we grew up in was post-World War II Breton Woods, which you and I talked about, you know, being from New Hampshire. We understand like the history of that, 1944 and onwards, that system is coming to an end. And we're not doing it, by the way, if we wanted to save it, we're doing all the wrong

things. We've completely weaponized the dollar. We're driving these other countries and it could be trade partners. You know, Thomas Jefferson's, uh, peace commerce and honest friendship. That's out the window. You know, we're, we're now like a drunk cop night sticking people, you know, uh, around the world because they don't, um, bow down to, you know, McDonald's and rainbow flags or whatever we want to do. I'm it's, it's really disgusting.

I've got a story about McDonald's coming up actually. Oh, do you? Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you about, you can check it out as you get ready for your show. You can have it on in the background, but you'll hear about it. So about private property and stuff and Byron Allen, the old, uh, comedian and talk show host, but, Oh, Tony, let me ask you this.

You, you brought up, you brought up, But, oh, Tony, let me ask you this. You brought up alternatives to the dollar. I think part of what is going on, and I think Ted Cruz and a lot of others have tipped their hand much too often here with the cards they're playing about China and bricks. One of the things that I think they're trying to do here is they're trying to shake up the BRICS because China is very dependent on Iranian oil exports. And so if they can disrupt Iran and its oil exports without disrupting the Strait of Hormuz,

China's gonna have some problems. I don't think whatever the United States and the NATO and the EU countries are trying to do to bricks I have some some information that I'm gonna be bringing up. In fact, I'll just bring it up briefly here I've got it over here Yeah, so Che Bose Is over at this big economic conference. I'll play it a little bit later.

Chez Bows of RT, they've got their annual economic conference of basically the BRICS nations, plus others that wanna enter the BRICS and so on. So it's a very large thing. As the West implodes with its regulations, with its inflated currency, as we saw starting in 2008, 2009, as the Germans and the Russians and the Chinese

wanted to collect more gold, and then the Russians and Chinese dropped long-term U.S. debt. They weren't gonna buy it anymore because they knew they'd get it paid back with inflated currency. I think one of the things they're trying to do is they're trying to send signals to the BRICS countries like, hey, stop doing what you're doing.

Stop coming up with trade packages and agreements and alternatives to the swift payment system. We want everything controlled by the Europeans and Americans, but I don't think that's going to hold, do you? No. No, I don't think so at all. I think everything that we've done is backfiring. This has been long-term. We've got these, what, 40 sanctions, 36 different countries. I'm sure that we've done is backfiring. This has been long term. We've got these 40 sanctions,

36 different countries. I'm sure that's more now. That's not an old metric, probably three years old. I think we're just in a position where we would be wise to make inroads for trade. We'd be wise to have new financial summits and other things bring peace. Because with peace, there's prosperity. The only the gluttonous lizard type folks are enriched by war.

And the average people, the people, the drawers of water, the ewers of wood are thrown into battle. They suffer the brunt of it. And that's what history teaches us so it's not profitable it's a anybody who's pro war doesn't understand economics and they don't understand they don't understand what happens to a civilization what happens to a country the loss the loss of your morals you

know even Socrates talked about that any wise person would try to steer away from a kinetic war at all costs. Save your own safety. I'm not a pacifist. It's not a virtue to be peaceful if you can't also harm someone. So I think that you have to have both sides of you. You have to prepare for war if you want to be a person of peace, but this is not the time for that. And I, you know, look at this as just through the lens of economics to guard central banks, keep watching those metrics, central banks, de-dollarizing the, the West is waning in power. It's losing its, its grip through those systems. The, the of uh stable coins and technologies like bitcoin for cross-border payment systems absolutely right these things are this is what to watch and uh the the the reign of king dollar is coming to an end that will mean economic consequences for the united states but it also could mean a lot of opportunity for regular people. I think there will be I don't think there's been a better time. No. Start your own business or get ahead of

that. If you understand this and you're going to be way ahead of everybody else because they're still watching Fox News. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Well, Tony, I'll get you out of here on this. I know that you've got your noontime show coming up. And if people go to your ex feed, just again, want to show everybody Tony's ex feed. And one of the great things about listening to you Tony is you always have a very reasoned approach to things, very calm. You bring up wonderful anecdotes in history,

your knowledge of history. Of course, the bookshelf behind you, as somebody asked you, it's not a green screen. It is full of books. And it's a wonderful thing. So I hope they'll check out your feed at X. And then if they click through to Ardaburn Gold, Ardaburn.Gold brings you to here with all sorts of things that people can explore. That's Ardaburn.Gold. And then, of course, the Wolf Pack. And so today on your program you'll be coming up at noontime talking about this and any other item that you might want to mention to people

is on your agenda for today? Yeah we'll be covering this. You know the Ardaburn radio transmission, I used to do a show every day, you know five days a week. I used to follow Mark Levin if you can believe that on a station out of San Antonio How anybody can follow Mark Levin because the stench is so terrible Listeners didn't know what to make of me. I don't know. I mean it would be worse now Because I'm I've gone further down the rabbit hole, but you can tune in I do a show That's once a week and it's parapolitics and precious metals So we just dive into the headlines do an hour straight and I keep that as like that's once a week and it's para politics and precious metals. So we just dive into the headlines, do an hour straight.

And I keep that as like, I think we're like episode 507 today, I think. It's a great, it's a good little show. And so, you know, tune into that. And then I'm going to be doing some more podcasting on macro economics, precious metals, the monetary system, Bitcoin, things like that. We're gonna be announcing that within the month. I should have that up and running and that'll be a live interactive show, no paywall or anything like that. A little bit later in the week perhaps, so I'll be looking for that.

But yeah, you can go to davidknight.gold. That lets you know that, lets me know that you went through David's site and you can look at the tab Join wolfpack and wear my wolfpack shirt wolfpack gold. That's a set. We have a separate separate entity now um And I I did I the more the further down I got down the road with a guard what I found is that we did Something really different And i'm going to lean into that we did something really different I haven't done enough marketing for it. But if you haven't joined Wolfpack, you should

because it has all the other things that go along when you getting a monthly delivery of precious metals and we meticulously go through all the invoices to make sure like if you give me $50, I stretch it as far as it'll go. Yeah, yeah. And I think you get on the invoices you show what it would have cost and the savings. So people are getting their product, often saving $20. Like I'm at the $100 level a month, $125, whatever. So I'm saving 10, 20 bucks every time

from what I would normally have had to pay if I went elsewhere, which is great. Yeah, that's what we try to do is like look at the major competitors and see like if you went there and just individually bought those things, we try to save you money. And of course, you knowing to buy those is something else to like the knowledge base of what we have. I buy it as if I was going to buy myself. And we do that every week.

Yekka and I, who's amazing, who works for me. And anyway, we love that, have new people. The more people that we get in, the better it is for everybody. And there's deals that we pass along, like flash sales, like we'll just get stuff that's not going to go into Wolfpack sometimes. But we want your business that way. There's big companies, nothing wrong with their model. It's just not my model. Oh, so true. So true. Yeah, I get it. We have a comment the Russians are telling me in my brain chip. Somebody says I got to pump up my Wolfpack numbers. Those are amateur numbers Gardner.

Yeah, is that is that that maybe that's somebody's one of your friends. Yeah, it's a you know, I love the mission that I'm on. I'm a happy warrior That's what for Wall Street. Yeah. It's a, you know, I love the mission that I'm on. I'm a happy warrior. Most of the time this thing is really irritated me because it brought it like, it's like a scab. You rip it open. You're like, Hey, remember that time, you know, 20, 20 something years ago, Tony,

you remember that what you saw? Yeah. I remember all the things. Remember the smells and the people and the sound, right. It's everything else. And, and who puts you saw? Yeah, I remember all the things. Remember the smells and the people and the sound lights and everything else and who puts you there? And then you know I went through all this running for Congress and coming face to face with these people and I you know I've met Ted. You know I know all that. I'll tell you a story we'll end with this it'll make you laugh because this is funny now given the Tucker Carlson interview which I I just, you know, Tucker, that's just spiking the football. Like I've waited so long for stuff like this.

I felt like, there's like some people, like, if you like, just live a little bit longer, if you just let the timeline go on just a little bit longer. But I, so I was running for office. And by the way, you should, everybody should try it once. And I went all in, like I was going to, you know, never ran. So I ran in the Republican primary. I'm coming out, I'm Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul-esque, you know, I'm challenging the establishment, everything.

So Ted Cruz comes to town and it's one of those, you know, conservat-con, the Paloozas, you know, where like, like the tea party. And I was, I had already, you know, I already understood what that was. But I was like, I'll go and there's a chance to take a picture with Ted, you know, right? It's not the only time I met him. There's another story, but it's the first time. So I go and they're standing in line.

I got my campaign manager with me. It's like a, you know, a 20 something year old. I kind of she's studying political science. And I go to take the picture. And like, okay, and I had my name tag on. And then somebody says, this guy is holding the camera, you can't wear the name tag. Like, you can have your face, but not like who you are. Like, so he's like, that name tags not it had a POW symbol. And it was a magnet was like so the backing was

a magnet on my lapel you know yeah so I go to I'm like I'm just first of all I'm in Norway because I'm right in the middle of it and I just go to take it off and then the magnet falls and I'm looking trying to pick it up and and then they're like okay you ready and so I lean back and I'm just got this I don't know if you've ever I mean people that know me know this I don't know if you ever I mean people that know me know this I don't look happy like all the time I'm pleasant I really I'm not thinking to I'm like I'm just kind of see I'm thinking you know like I'm not I mean I'm contemplating things right you right I think the the kids call it resting bitch face or something not to go to what face resting bitch face. You ever like that? That's what so you know not to go not

to use you know that harsh language but that's what they call. That's what the kids isn't that Hillary Clinton when she's sleeping. I'm not sure but well they take the picture guard and I don't you can't see it right away and then they go to publish it on this website. You know so you go on they're like oh you get your picture and it's like a published thing that's on this thing like here know, so you go on there like, Oh, you get your picture and it's like a published thing that's on this thing. Like, here's congressional candidate. I look

like, as it was that interaction, it's like everything, you know, I was like 3233. And I just made it, it looked like you're about I was about to enter the ring. You're like Mike Tyson looks, you know, you're a beast, right? Looking like it wide. I was mad. And I didn't realize how, you know, you were a beast. Ready? Looking like wide. I was mad and I didn't realize how, you know, that I was externally showing how annoyed I was with his handler. And so my forever burned into the memory banks of me standing next to Ted Cruz. Looks like, uh, looks like how I actually feel now.

That's classic. That is classic. And yeah, there, the, the way those people are managed, the way they're massaged, the way that they present themselves to people. But oh, you can't ask a question. I ran into Ted Stevens down in the heart building, the Senate, and he was talking about the invasion of Iraq and all this stuff. He had a group of people who was down in that weird sculpture inside the giant foyer, the heart building. And I was just walking in to go visit Gordon Humphrey, who was the senator at that time.

And so I walk around and I see this guy, this diminutive guy with glasses, and there are all these people sitting around on the carpet, right in front of that weird statue thing inside, that rusty statue. And he's talking about Iraq and stuff. So I, and people are asking questions. So I raise my hand and he calls on me and I ask a question that he didn't like. And he goes, are you from Alaska?

And I was like, no, because, well, if you're not from Alaska, you can't ask a question. I was like, I already did. Sorry, now you're now you're making it worse for yourself. Because you're not going to answer the question. You're bringing up a dumb childish. I've just proved your theory incorrect. It's like your your iron dome didn't work. Your iron dome of questions.

I can't. Yeah, exactly. It's like George Galloway now calls it the paper dome. Your paper dome did not did not address my question. I came in with a hypersonic question. Hey, man. Thanks a lot, Tony. We'll see you at noontime on your channel.

It's a Tony Ardavern channel. And of course, you got America Unplugged that you've been doing. You've got so much stuff. I hope people go to your X feed, check it out. It will be on your X feed live at noontime. Right, brother? That's right. And rumble on America Unplugged. Absolutely. Right on. Right on. Tony Arterburn. Thank you, Tony. Long live and prosper. Live long and prosper. I can do it with my left hand. Good job. Yeah. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. You can do it with your left hand. We gotta see. I can do both. I can do that. I was just trying to do it with my left. I never tried. It's like first time I had to shoot a nine mil and they do that in basic and it's all weird with your left

hand, but I got it. So thanks. That's pretty good. I don't think I, well, I could do it with some practice probably. Sure you could. We'll have to talk guns later I gotta ask you a question about it an unusual gun we discovered after my I won't even say I want to say no more I don't want the feds You didn't hear anything Thanks, Tony. Thanks Tony. We'll see you soon Tony Arterburn folks Tony Arterburn is great and so many great comments from people from all over the place. Biden and Obama come down with cancer the same week. Oh, I did not know. Well, we've got so much more to discuss, everybody.

Let's get back to our Vulcan mind meld farewell to Tony Arterburn. And then we'll get to more of your comments on the David Knight show. Gardner Goldsmith filling in for you. Eternity ends. Our minds are merging, Doctor. Our minds are one. I feel what you feel. I know what you know They are old, sealed and sealed, just the lines on my back Can't get up, cause there's something that I lack Kids like to torture me and stretch me on the rack

When I think about it, they'll have a heart attack I'm the only guy that I've seen coming out of San Antonio, and there are a lot of great musicians around the world, the Sons of Hercules. This is a theme that I use on Liberty Conspiracy for people wanting other people's stuff, whether it's the United States government or it's people utilizing really, really bad precepts, precedents, ideas from government in order to prey on their neighbor. And so I want to turn to that story about Byron Allen

that I mentioned to Tony. And then we'll talk a little bit about Ukraine because Zelensky wants some money as well. But the story out of Hollywood and out of entertainment is that Byron Allen, the former host of Real People on NBC, started as a standup comic. Byron Allen, who is a media mogul and owns essentially black entertainment television

and a lot of other media interests, he's done very well for himself. And he, about a year ago I discovered discovered had brought suit against McDonald's and you can see this is my newest piece for MRCTV. Now MRCTV has changed things slightly. I do three articles a week with MRCTV and usually two videos a week with them. Typically I've been on the on the screen on the on the videos now my voice is gonna be in the background They're shooting for shorter videos that they could put out. I might appear on the videos occasionally and

Which I would love I think it brings a better connection with the audience when the person speaking is there and it's not just a voiceover it's a little bit abstract and antiseptic the the latter way, but Here's the headline Media mogul gets settlement accusing McDonald's of discrimination for not advertising enough on his networks. Now, viewers of Liberty Conspiracy, you know, I talked about this a couple of times, but I do want to introduce this to the David Knight audience here. Now, David and I have a different opinion on one of the things at the heart of this. So obviously, reserve a lot of openness for David and his position. And I just want to go through this because occasionally when I filled in for David, I brought this up before. And this is the thing

that I've been predicting would happen. I've worried it would happen and it happened because the federal government and the courts no longer recognize the sanctity of private property for businesses. And here's the story. TV host and now media mogul, Byron Allen, accepted a settlement from McDonald's corporation for compensation over what he claimed was racial discrimination.

Get this everybody, because he claimed McDonald's didn't advertise with his networks enough, okay? Now, if you're familiar with economics teaching or anything, if you're one of my old students from lecture class or anything like that in economics, you know that trade, by definition, it's a trade. It's a two-way street.

So the way that they have depicted business owners as being in control is erroneous. It's incorrect. The person who's actually in control in the end is the consumer, but because you can choose, you can decide, do I wanna buy that or not buy it? You are the final employer, always. And if they think that there's an acquisitive,

exploitative employer out there who's exploiting the employees, well, then that's you, if you wanna save some money. If you wanna buy something from a foreign country, if you wanna get something from a teenager who has low skills, but maybe the skills don't offer enough compensation at $15 an hour, which Josh Hawley has introduced on a

federal level, so-called conservative, to increase the minimum wage mandate unconstitutionally across the country to $15 an hour. Well, if you don't want to buy a product that now has a jacked-up price because of that and the skills that a child might provide or a young person or a person who was illiterate who went through public school systems can provide. Well they're not going to be employed and it's going to be your fault, not the employer's fault per se. The final employer really is you, not necessarily the businessman.

We're all business people. It's our business to run our own lives. So here's the problem. Trade is a two-way street, right? That's the good thing, but they don't look at it as a two-way street. This exposes the fact that it is a two-way street. And the regulations that they put on businesses

to have to open their doors to anybody, as sentimentally good as that sounds, that people should be willing to do business with anybody, it's impossible to work it. And moreover, more important, it's an attack on private property. And here's how this worked. As Candace Edwards reports for Black Enterprise, quote,

"'On June 13th, Friday the 13th, "'just days ahead of trial, "'McDonald's settled its lawsuit with Byron Allen "'for an undisclosed amount. "'Alan had sued the fast food chain for,' get this, $10 billion, Dr. Evil. "'Alan is the owner of the Weather Group get this, $10 billion, Dr. Evil. Allen is the owner of The Weather Group and Entertainment Studios Networks.

The entrepreneur sued the corporation over its alleged refusal to advertise with black-owned companies. So I wrote, in fact, Ms. Edwards does not describe the suit with sufficient precision. It was not the fact that McDonald's refused to advertise, they did advertise. It's just that Allen claimed the magic power

to say that the company didn't advertise enough. And that lack of buying time, according to his legal team, was due to or a sign of, yeah, you got it, racial discrimination. Quote, details of the settlement, she wrote sentiment, remain sealed. Yet both Allen and Chicago-based McDonald's USA

released statements addressing the end of the suit. McDonald's admits no wrongdoing. Still, the corporation stated its commitment and the on this because this has been edited for space. And I wanna show you the Word document because I think it's got more value to it. Again, they're going for shorter pieces. So let me give you this. There's more here. So we have here on my Word document, the original, the details of the settlement are irrelevant, I wrote,

when it comes to principles and to learning about the terrible missteps in court and Congress that led to this and could lead to many more such money grabs. This case is directly tied to the destruction of private property manifested in the 1946 Marsh v. Alabama Supreme Court case and the resultant public accommodations portion of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. With Marsh, the FDR-loved majority ruled that a private boat building company

that had created a campus for employees, including a store, post office, and sleeping quarters could not remove a non-employee, someone outside the company who was handing out religious flyers on their property. So this was a woman and she was trespassing. The court claimed that this place was open to the public, so therefore it was the public square. Okay, that's a very key term. You probably heard it on David's show if you watch many times. And again, David and I have a slightly different perspective. We sort of end up in the same position at the end, but we

have a slightly different perspective on this. And hopefully I'll be able to describe David's position fairly. But just to go with what I lay out here, they described it as the public square. I said, which is wrong? No taxpayer money was used on the site. So it was not public. By definition, public means tax money had to have been spent on it, everybody. That's the problem with the contemporary opinion

about what is public now. Because of this ruling and the 64 Civil Rights Act public accommodations portion, people today just they think that anything that's open to someone even though it's private property is public property. No, we have to retain a very stark understanding of the stark difference between public, taxpayer supported, roping everybody in, and private, individually owned, can show preferences, and people can decide whether they want to contribute, whether they want to work with that person or not, right? And again,

it's trade. So you know where I'm going. It goes both ways. And this is why this case is important. And I worried that it was going to happen. I used to tell students that this sort of thing was going to come and it did. So we go here. I said, by turning it into de jure public property, the court also opened the space and all other private businesses to the tragedy of the commons, inspiring all taxpayers and even non-payers if they think that they're part of the government, that lovely canard, to argue over how that property is going to be run. So now it can't be controlled by the person who invested the time, invested the idea, and tries to run it every day. Everybody's going to argue it should be this, it should be that, they should cater to these people, they didn't give enough time to this person.

Here's more. The public accommodations portion of the 64 Civil Rights Act expanded on the 1946 problem, telling retailers they had to open their shops to anyone, making the private property not only the de jure property of government, but virtually impossible to operate without some group claiming that it was not treated the same as others. So you can see how problematic this is. This is the way all government systems work. As Frederick Bastia said, the state

is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live off of everyone else. As much as one sentimentally might feel that it is wrong not to offer service to a willing customer just because that customer might be a member of a certain minority, the property owner has the right to control his or her property and to decide for himself or herself whether to engage in commerce with someone. You might hear me echoing Walter Williams now. If that is not the case, then the potential customer, I wrote, if that is not the case, then the potential customer,

I wrote, if that is not the case, then the potential consumer also does not have the right to decline doing business with others. And this is where the coin gets flipped. As strict libertarians have argued, this was the logical end to the idea that a private business owner must not decline doing business with others. Why? I wrote, if as many believe a shop owner must sell to anyone, allow anyone in,

or he will be punished by the state, the government, we also know that trade is a two-way street. Therefore, if a town is 99% non-fascist, non-skinhead, but one skinhead jerk owns a shop and we are walking by, we now required to give that man our business because he's in the minority. And I wrote, this is a comparable function if you eliminate the fascist or skinhead rhetoric, this is functionally comparable to what Byron Allen just pulled on McDonald's.

They didn't advertise enough. They didn't buy enough from him. That's you walking by the shop of the skinhead. That's why the breach of the private property of a business owner also breaches your own property ownership of yourself. Because if they say he's wrong and he's gonna be punished for not offering business to you,

they can say you're wrong and you can be punished for not offering business to him. This is the problem because they don't recognize the sanctity of private property. And of course, the state itself as an abstract entity does not recognize the sanctity of your own property unto yourself or what you acquire. So to round this off, I said, it doesn't matter if you don't like the quality of a product or the price of what that person is selling. That will be judged now in government court.

Your life and money, your preferences, well, they're not your own. Byron Allen's legal team claimed precisely that. And rather than fight in a racially hypersensitive court system weaned on Marsh and the public accommodations attack on private property, the company bowed. So I would keep this in mind next time you hear about a government regulation on a business

or a disability or discrimination claim made by government against a business, it's not my business to tell another person his business. I would prefer to keep the government out of it and to know if someone is racist, again, echoing Walter Williams, by seeing his preferences in the market. As it stands now, just like a racist jerk cannot deny service to someone, likewise, this case shows us that the legal jerry-rigging since Marsh has created an atmosphere in which we cannot say to a seller,

we don't want their products. We can be depicted as discriminatory and sued. Welcome to the land of the free, is what I wrote. Now, the distinction that David brings up when it comes to something is, he says, a large business like that with an open area, say a university that might not be getting government money, is the public square, that they signal to people in a way

that they're open for people to join them, to come on. And he draws a distinction as many others do, if they're not full on the way I am on this position. They'll say there's a distinction that comes between those open areas and areas that are made strictly for commerce, like small businesses and commercial shops. But what I try to bring up to people who say that is,

that's you defining for the property owner, what that distinction is. Again, it's an arbitrary outside person saying, well, you know, you're operating your private property this way and I think you should be open to people. Those other people are operating their private property this way in small shops. I think they should be able to control it.

It's not my place to say that. So that's the distinction. I hope I can engender people or encourage people to explore that more fully to say that still is an arbitrary application of one's own opinion about how somebody else is going to handle his property. how somebody else is going to handle his property. And that is unethical. It's incorrect. And it also is illogical because it makes some sort of distinction,

an outside arbitrary distinction by somebody else as to what a difference is between two parcels that are privately owned. They're both privately owned. It's not up to me to say, I find some distinction, therefore I'm going to tell you this is okay or this isn't okay. Right? So this is the problem that I saw with this, this Byron Allen thing. And I mentioned, I mentioned this to David, I think we were chatting one time over the phone. He said, wow, that sounds like an interesting thing. Uh, interesting

case. And I was going to write a Substack about it about a year ago. I think David and I were on the phone. But I never got around to it. And now the case has been settled. And if it was for 10 billion, then you can probably bet it was if even was a tenth of that, you're talking 100 bucks. Because my math is almost as good as government math. So let's talk about somebody else who wants some big-time cash, shall we? Yeah, let's discuss Vladimir Zelensky and that wonderful cat. As we look at Vladimir Zelensky says he wants more money. I could play from Russia with love right now, but I won't do that. Here it is. Zelensky seeks $40 billion a year for resilience. The Ukrainian leader has appealed for continued aid after Trump refused to meet with him at a G7 event. Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky has called on Western donors. You're a donor now. Did you know that? Because you're at the end of it

to commit 40 billion annually. You have a choice to be a donor? Oh no, you don't. Following a high profile snub by the US president at the G7 summit. Now that was up in Canada, as I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy the other night. I don't know whether they invited WAF and SS troopers in their 90s to that event. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's possible. But out of the G7 event, we got the amazing, wonderful, and great tariff agreement that ended up bringing the United States right back to where it was with Keir Starmer.

So that's right. Let me mention one other thing too. You might have heard about how Russia hit a building that was owned by, those are my notes there, sorry, that was has, that company, Boeing, has an agreement with a Ukrainian weapons manufacturer. So if you're wondering about that, just keep it in mind that the United States already has some of its big corporate military industrial contractors working in Ukraine, making them targets.

Just wanted to remind you about that. And as far as the tariff stuff goes, yeah, the agreement that Trump had with Starmer, I have covered for Liberty Conspiracy, and it essentially brought what Trump had brought up to 85% for tariffs on cars, then lowered it down to 25%. It had started at 10%. It brings it back to 10%.

And they have quotas on the cars. Same thing with the steel. They have quotas on the steel. So everybody's claiming that this great trade deal between England and the United States is wonderful. No, it just goes back, just like I think it was Per Byland or it might have been Pete St. Ange brought it up, said, no, it just resets it to where it was before Donald Trump went crazy with this tariff nonsense unconstitutionally.

Yeah, brilliant. But let me show you what's going on over in Russia right now as a quick one from Che Bose. This is what is happening as the United States implodes. Welcome to SPIEF, St. Petersburg, Russia, where one of the biggest economic meetings on earth is taking place. 20,000 delegates from 140 countries are here.

While the G7 talk about restriction and exclusion here. They talk about partnership Why don't you know anything about it? So here's Jay Hey everybody welcome to st. Petersburg and to the st. Petersburg economic forum spief It's probably the biggest economic forum, SPIEF, it's probably the biggest meeting in Russia in the calendar, particularly about the economy. It's absolutely insane, it's huge. Check it out. Now it's in the big expo here in St. Petersburg, but the scale of it is absolutely remarkable, it's absolutely massive. And you've got to really ask yourself why you're not hearing more about this in the Western media.

Why is nobody talking about this? You know, it's absolutely crazy. So here's some of the numbers. There's more than 20,000 delegates, 20,000 people coming here. And they're coming from over 140 countries. Okay. 50 political leaders from within those countries. And what it's all about is sharing and building economic ties with the Global South, with partners who are still doing business with Russia, India, Indonesia. President Putin

is meeting the Indonesian president tomorrow. He's meeting the head of the new development bank today. So it's all about cooperation. And when you look at the G7, what's happening there, they always seem focused on how to oppress and prevent partnership, right? They seem to be all about that. They don't really seem that interested in how to build new ties and what the tens of thousands of sanctions on Russia. Do you believe this is the most sanctioned country on earth? It is. What it's all about is preventing growth. But what Russia's focused on and all its partner countries here, you know, over 140 countries, Vietnam, the Global South, Iraq, Libya, Indonesia, Malaysia, these are the countries where growth

is happening. This is where things are being built. This is where there's a push for collaboration, not isolation. And the idea that this country, check it out, is isolated. It's probably one of the most retarded things you're ever going to be. But you're not going to see anything about this probably in the Western media. So I'm here for a couple of days and I'm going to hopefully meet some interesting people. I will do. And I'll keep showing you guys what's really going on here absolutely

insane really something else so for now from a beautiful Saint Petersburg in Russia capital of Russia's North Russia's old capital, incredible place. I'll see you later on. Look after yourselves. All right, Che Boz from Ireland, a comedian, does a great job on Moscow Mules, a wonderful show. You can see that repeated numerous times on Saturdays and Sundays over at RT. And RT, of course, giving us the coverage about Zelensky demanding more of our money. Oh, what a deal. It's an investment

Yeah, you've got to contribute. Okay meantime if We really did have more markets more opportunities like this would pop up if Donald Trump wouldn't be rattling his saber About tariffs the markets at least here could get some stability But he's all over the map. And if he weren't threatening Iran, then of course the energy markets wouldn't be in flux and people could actually make some long-term investments for businesses.

But you can't have that because you have a supposed businessman in the White House who of course doesn't know anything about business because he's filed for bankruptcy numerous times and he's a casino owner. I don't know how you can become bankrupt when you run a casino. The odds are ever in your favor, as they might say in the Hunger Games. So Che Bo's great stuff from Che and that's C-H-A-Y, not Che Guevara.

And I also want to mention that Rick Sanchez has started a new program at RT and I'm really glad he did. You know, Rick Sanchez was working for RT from the United States. He's moved to Russia. Why? Because the Biden administration, they claimed that RT is somehow evil foreign propaganda, while the United States was shuttling propaganda all around the world through USAID and running, what was it, 80 or 90% of the news outlets in Ukraine. And Che Bose went to Georgia and exposed a lot of the international EU, NATO, and George Soros influence in the Georgian elections that they were trying to do. So very good stuff from Che, and I really appreciate that.

Now, I wanna get over into this story about Tennessee. And if you go to my news notes, you'll see this story about the Tennessee trans decision in the courts. So let me just hit this for you if I can. Let me see here. Oh, and by the way, the Tennessee story,

for those people who are unfamiliar with what happened with the Tennessee trans surgery story thing, is remarkable in that a lot of people didn't think it was going to go the way of the Tennessee legislators who I think if you're going to have a state and you believe you're going to have statutes that protect people from getting attacked by other people if you've got underage kids and somebody is giving an underage kid body mutilation surgery, let me just grab this for you here. The SCOTUS blog has this.

There we go. And we'll go to ABC. And we'll go to ABC. SCOTUS upholds Tennessee ban on youth-affirming gender care, so-called. How about USA Today? Here we go. This is good. No, not going to go with that either. These are not worth. I'll go with CNN. Why not? We'll give CNN some place since they did a good job on the IAEA thing.

Supreme court upholds Tennessee's ban on gender affirming so-called care for trans youth. Okay, so gender affirming care, every one of those terms in there, the hyphenated gender affirming is erroneous and care, that also is erroneous, of course that's subjective, but if you're gonna have statutes, like I said the 14th amendment would require that if you're going to protect people from assault and underage people from sexual mutilation or or their parents abusing

them then that would have to apply equally 14th amendment requires it. The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care for trans minors. All those terms so heavy. In a blockbuster ruling that will bolster efforts by conservative state lawmakers to pass and preserve other diverse laws, divisive laws targeting transgender Americans. Yeah, the six to three decision by a conservative majority is a major blow to the Transgender community as they say and it advocates

And its advocates at a critical critical time Since 2020 Republican led states around the country have passed a wave of laws regulating the lives They say of trans Americans with a particular focus on minors. Okay, so let's talk about this regulating the lives, they say, of trans Americans with a particular focus on minors. Okay, so let's talk about this regulating the lives. Again, if you've got a school and it's publicly run with state money, then you're going to get everybody arguing. So there might be some people who don't want boys going into the girls locker room, just maybe, but other people might think it's peachy keen. And it's the tragedy of the common. So everybody's going to argue over it. At least if you have decentralization, especially down to the town level, you can vote with your feet and you can get away.

Okay. Then you've got this idea that they're trying to influence transgender lives. Oh, is that the case? Well, the courts just ruled that Donald Trump cannot enforce his visa passport. Let me see here. Yep, this is the passport. Judge blocks Trump passport policy targeting transgender people. It targeted them.

In other words, a judge right now out of Massachusetts is saying, well, you know what? You've got these documents you wanna know about people. You wanna know who they are, what they are, where they're from. what you've got these documents you want to know about people you want to know who they are what they are where they're from but when it comes to the actual sex the gender of a person um no you can't they can lie to you they can play they can LARP they can pretend that there's something they're not I don't know that seems to me it doesn't really work with the whole idea of security being provided

through the passport. But again, we know passports are magic, just like I think it was Travis showed. Passport man with the armored suit, just like the passports they found at 9-Eleven's site, because they seem to be the only thing that survived. Passport man, yeah. So here it is, a federal judge on Tuesday

blocked the Trump administration from refusing to issue passports to transgender non-binary Americans nationwide that reflect their gender identities after finding it was likely unconstitutional. Really? Well, you know what's unconstitutional? Passports. was likely unconstitutional. Really? Well, you know what's unconstitutional?

Passports. Again, whether it's passports being forced on people to come in here or issuing passports in order to leave and come back, there's no power in that constitution over immigration, over foreign travel. Doesn't exist, it does not exist. And again, when I called Jeff Koenner, Jeff Koenner pulled the same thing Mark Levin has done.

In his book, Men in Black, Mark Levin said that the first immigration statute that was ever written was the 1796, I believe, Naturalization act. Well, guess what, Mark? Naturalization is how you become a citizen, not whether people who aren't citizens can be on the soil of one of the states. I will again lay a challenge down to any human being on the planet earth to find the word immigration in the Constitution. You won't because it was a state purview until 1875 with the Chi-Lung decision. And I brought this up to this radio host, Jeff Kooner.

I said, you know, immigration is not in the, he goes, it's under naturalization, just like Mark Levin does. That's one of the ways, that's one of the first things they do. And then when you come back at them in a Tucker Carlson like fashion to say, really, where's the word immigration in the Constitution? They try to tell you it's naturalization.

Then you say, I thought there was a difference between the two. I thought Congress under Article 1, Section 8, could come up with a uniform rule over naturalization, but they don't include immigration. I wonder why. Maybe it's because states controlled immigration. In fact, as I've mentioned many times, Texas in its state constitution, when they adopted

it in 1869, had a Bureau of Immigration in their state constitution. So again, it's collectivism, it's everybody arguing over how it's gonna go to the point of they're arguing over whether or not somebody's real gender, their sex, can actually be on a government document, which they shouldn't be requesting, but now everybody's arguing on it because the U.S. government's handling it. See? Everybody's got such normalcy bias they think the

U.S. government should be issuing passports? Seriously? That is clownish. It doesn't take much to think it through. And look again at the tragedy of the commons. US District Judge Julia Kobach in Boston, wicked, issued a preliminary injunction that expanded on an earlier order she issued in April that had stopped the US State Department from enforcing the policy in the case of just six people. from enforcing the policy in the case of just six people.

Okay. So there you go. Again, you might not be able to change this stuff. I might not be able to change this stuff. The freight train's still gone, but at least I can note you're on the wrong track. At least I can, you know, I feel comfortable with myself doing that. Now let's talk about immigration.

And for that, I like to play a little something from the band Wall of Voodoo when we do Liberty Conspiracy, or sometimes I'll play Led Zeppelin. Let's talk immigration and the battles. I feel a hot wind on my shoulder, and the touch of a world that is older. I turn the switch and check the number, I leave it on when the bed I slumber. I hear the rear drums of the music, by the product never used it. I hear the talking of the U.S. Constitution, the only way that the feds can go into states is if they are invited by a state legislature or the governor if the legislature is out of session.

So that confrontation between the senator from California and Christie Noem, that happened a few days ago where they threw him down to the ground and handcuffed him because he was trying to ask her a question. Regardless of how the so-called conservatives tried to depict it, that he, oh, he broke into that and he was being disruptive. No, she broke into the state of California without an invitation with federal troops,

period, for the conservatives out there. Do you get it? Are you going to wake up to the concept of federalism or are you just going to forget about it? And well, now it's Donald Trump. You didn't like it when it was centrally controlled under Joe Biden because he was artificially pumping people in. Now you love it because it's the flip side and Donald Trump is artificially pumping people into the states, but they're federal troops

Maybe not good and you don't have to cite Posse comitatus because that's a statute and you don't have to cite you you can cite article 4 section 4 you don't need Posse comitatus and For all the conservatives out there claiming the alien enemies act. That's a statute And for all the conservatives out there claiming the Alien Enemies Act, that's a statute. There's no declared war, first of all. And even if there were a declared war, you would have militia being offered by the states. The only way during a non-war period for a president to go into a state with federal troops is supposed to be the militia. During non-war is if they president to go into a state with federal troops, it's supposed to be the militia, during non-war is if they're invited, that's all.

Now let's go to New York. New York City mayoral candidate, Brad Linder, says nobody is safe right now after arrest by masked agents at immigration court. Now I'm no fan of Brad Linder, okay? This guy is massively anti-gun. He tried to utilize the New York City pension program to force credit card companies and banks

in which the retirement program had invested. They said they were gonna pull money out of those banks if they didn't adopt on their credit cards the gun shop purchase code, which Brad Linder said they would then use to investigate gun purchases. I'm paraphrasing, but that's essentially it. That happened about a year and a half ago. Massed federal agents this time wrangled New York City Comptroller and Mayoral candidate Brad Lander, listen, Lander, Lander, and placed him in handcuffs

inside an immigration courthouse. So it's happening on both coasts in Manhattan on Tuesday. The city's elected financial watchdog, who is among Democrat candidates for mayor, entered the public federal building to observe immigration hearings when he was accosted by masked immigration and customs enforcement officers, as well as FBI and Treasury Department agents wearing face coverings.

Homeland Security officials accused Lander of assaulting and impeding an officer. Lander was released from federal custody several hours later. He told reporters outside a federal building in downtown Manhattan that the charges against him were dropped. Quote, I am happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button, he said. The rule of law is not fine. And our constitutional democracy, which he gets wrong, of course, is not fine and our constitutional democracy, which he gets wrong of course, is not fine.

So, again, he skirts things on the gun issue, doesn't understand that it's not a constitutional democracy, but it doesn't really matter. The constitutional republic idea is still majority rule in a way. It's just democracy, one step removed, which is bad. In his first interview since he was released from detention, Lander told MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Tuesday evening that nobody is safe right now. As a former member of the New York City Council, Lander formerly represented a Bangladeshi neighborhood he said would tell him, we came the right way, he told Hayes. But this shows there's no right way, said Lander,

referring to federal law enforcement targeting immigrants at his courthouse. These folks are doing things the right way, he said. They did what they were supposed to do. Nobody is safe right now. And you might've seen people being arrested as they actually are on their way over to some of their sessions to become American citizens.

Now one of the things here that someone might bring up is isn't this a federal building? So if we look at for example was it the mayor of one of the cities in New Jersey, he went with some congress, Democrat congress members, to protest a federal detention center in his city. And, was it Hoboken? I can't remember. And they said, you're trespassing on a federal center.

Well, something to keep in mind, not only are they not allowed to go in in police, but the federal building, the detention center I'll mention first. And I mentioned this on David's show before, and I'm happy to say it again here while I'm here with you today, because it's a very important point.

If just for the abstract interest of history, regardless of whether you're gonna win an argument or lose an argument or whatever, just historically to have it is satisfying to know it. The Constitution, according to their rules, only allows the federal government to own or operate three forms of land, a 10 square mile area for the Capitol, which is Washington, D.C. now, territories before they become states and military garrisons. A detention center, and it's noted with the name detention center, is not a military garrison because otherwise it would be called military base, army base, navy base, whatever, right? Just like the

interstate highway system, that's not a military base. So it's patently unconstitutional. highway system that's not a military base. So it's patently unconstitutional. Also, the courthouses. What's interesting is in the constitution, the Congress can set up the court system above state Supreme courts and below the federal Supreme court, allowing cross-state legal matters to be adjudged and facilitate those in the federal court system. Then you've got the circuit court appeal system. What's really interesting there is there are so many federal statutes on the books now. Federal courts basically don't handle cross-state problems.

They're handling breaches of federal statutes. And that's not the way it was originally designed. So the federal court system now, the bulk of these things are the feds going after people inside states. There should be, as Ron Paulus said, there should be a handful of federal statutes and that should be it.

The rest is left up to the states. But what becomes problematic is having it and understanding of the way these federal courts are supposed to work. Because the question arises, if the federal government can create courts above the state Supreme Court and beneath the federal Supreme Court,

the US Supreme Court, where are they gonna be? If the constitution also says that there are only three forms of land, a court is not an army barrack unless you're gonna put the court on the army barrack, right? So that's one way they could do it, but they don't do it that way. You probably have federal courts

a couple of towns away or in your town. They're gigantic behemoths, totems, they're temples to federal graft. They're their own things with massive protection areas around them, right? I went into one a couple times to support my friend Ian Freeman, and please find out about Ian's case because he was, as Jacob Hornberger of FFF.org has noted, he was taken for a ride by the feds because of Bitcoin sales, didn't hurt anybody.

So how do these federal courts exist? Because that might be one of the excuses that people give. Well, this guy Linder went into this court and walked right in. Well, is the court constitutionally sound or is it on state land? The only way that I've been able to figure this out, and I've gone through this a bunch of times,

the only way that this would actually work is if the federal court system were on military bases or the federal courts were all located in Washington DC or a territory, but they don't really have territories now. They have occupation zones like the Philippines and Puerto Rico, right? So that's the only way they could do it. So if somebody says, well, guard, that guy was walking into federal property, I would hope that they would question functionally, wait a minute, there's an area of ambiguity here that has not been addressed.

Can these courts even exist on state land? No, they can't. There's nothing in the Constitution that allows it. Even though the Constitution allows them to create the courts, they don't have the power to grab the land for the courts, unless they do it inside Washington, D.C., inside a military garrison or in a territory. And again, that negates, it eliminates all public parks that the United States runs, all the natural refuge places, that should be left up to the people in the States

and preferably private people owning the land and then people revealing their preferences about how the land should be used. Not through group think and the tragedy of the commons, everybody arguing over it. So this man, he has a point about New York. Absolutely right. And I'll bring this final thing up

as we round off the David Knight show. Factcheck.org has corrected something that Donald Trump, about which Donald Trump lied. The LA police chief did not ask for federal help. This is very important. In defending his decision to deploy National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, President Donald Trump has distorted comments made by LA police chief Jim McDonald. Trump claimed that the police chief said the situation with immigration protests quote had gotten away from them end quote and that quote we really did need his help end quote. Well as fact check says that's not what McDonald said. On the third day of protest,

McDonald did say his city police officers were overwhelmed as far as the number of people out there are engaged in this type of activity and the type of things that they're doing. But he also said he didn't ask for federal assistance. And even if he did, folks, the Constitution says it has to be the legislature or the governor of the state if the legislature is out of business.

And I'll remind anybody who's skeptical of this, just remember that Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis both utilized it for their side, asking Biden to come in, citing Article 4, Section 4. And clause 10. Rather, the police chief said, the protocol is to first reach out to mutual aid assistance from local

and state law enforcement. The situation never reached a point where national help was needed, he said. Moreover, he said the National Guard and Marine Troops sent to LA have not been tasked with working with local police on the streets to maintain order, restore order, and keep everybody safe. They're definitely, definitely pulling a lot of unconstitutional actions.

And I didn't sign the Constitution, but at least out of my heart, I'd like to remind people of what it says and bring up the fact that they're deceiving people and they're invading states. It is an invasion. It's an invasion by the federal government. That's what it is. But they always invade. They always invade your pocket, your wallet, your plans, your time, your future, your family's

principles, even your right to worship. I better go, but thank you so much for watching the David Knight Show today. I'll be back tomorrow and we can join each other tonight on Liberty Conspiracy. I should promote that. The Liberty Conspiracy channel is on Rumble. Just look up Liberty Conspiracy. My ex is at Gard Goldsmith. Hope more people will join us. Weigh in, offer your opinions. And I want to let people know that I have started, the Russian team

and I have started a new channel on YouTube. We're so far so good. I haven't been banned. It's based on television script writing and suggestions for books. It's part of BookTube. To talk about good writing, I have a lot of prose fiction out there and books that are yet to come and that's called Former Star Trek Writing Fellow. Former Star Trek Writing Fellow on YouTube and on Rubble. Please go over. We're hoping more people will join up and we'll get more viewers over there. A lot lighter stuff. Read stories and every Friday on Liberty Conspiracy, it's Fiction Friday, where we read a short story by a great writer at the end of the show. So join us 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at Liberty Conspiracy. And I want to thanks

everyone for being with us today. Skunk Hollow will leave you with the final word, detention center is what Pol Pot used. Thanks. Now you're making me think of the Dead Kennedys. Thank you everybody. We'll leave you with a going out from David Knight and please go to the David Knight Show website because of course you will be able to find some great material there and I believe we're gonna go with The Common Man, shall we? Yes. Let's go with... we've got to with the common man shall we yes let's go with we gotta find the right those Russians are are helping me where is it oh okay we're gonna yeah I'll do this gonna play one more bit of music before we go and how about this from Vladimir Zelensky as an ad.

Take care everyone. Have a good night. Me, Vladimir 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 McGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at 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 gala and social events.

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