The David Knight Show - Thu Episode #2056: Algorithmic Tyranny: The End of Human Judgment & Mercy

Episode Date: July 17, 2025

01:02:21 – 01:05:19Elon Musk’s Grok AI Fails to DeliverDespite lofty claims, Musk’s Grok 4 trails behind competitors in AI rankings. Its performance is criticized as underwhelming and full of PR... spin. 01:09:26 – 01:11:24Virtual Girlfriends Fuel Loneliness CrisisNew AI “waifu” avatars promote fantasy relationships, worsening isolation and mental health—especially for men withdrawing from real-life interaction. 01:16:09 – 01:17:19AI Deployment Expands into Warfare and Tax EnforcementPlans emerge to use AI in federal bureaucracy, drone warfare, and the IRS—raising concerns over automated surveillance and punitive actions. 01:18:38 – 01:20:12Efficiency in Government Can Be a ThreatWhile bureaucratic inefficiency has historically shielded citizens from rapid overreach, AI threatens to replace it with swift, unchecked enforcement. 01:20:37 – 01:21:00No Compassion in AI EnforcementAlgorithms can’t show mercy or discretion, applying rules mechanically regardless of context or consequence. 01:39:15 – 01:42:20WEF's Agentic State: AI Rule Without HumansA WEF proposal calls for AI-run governance systems with minimal human oversight. The initiative raises alarms about digital tyranny. 01:51:31 – 01:52:41Algocracy: Rule by Machine, Without MercyA future governed by algorithms means citizens lose all appeal to empathy. Errors, hallucinations, and overreach become unstoppable. 02:17:01 – 02:17:16Smart Fridges, AI Diets, and Biometric RestrictionsA satirical warning about AI-enabled appliances like “lockdown fridges” highlights concerns over biometric surveillance controlling personal behavior. 02:17:17 – 02:18:33Trade Skills and AI AutomationSkilled trades like plumbing and mechanics may be safer from automation, but propaganda has pushed youth away from blue-collar work—leaving society more vulnerable to technocratic control. 02:45:26 – 02:48:49America’s Unsustainable Debt SpiralThe U.S. debt has accelerated exponentially, doubling roughly every decade. Global players like Russia are now stockpiling silver, hinting at the coming monetary reset. 02:48:50 – 02:51:14Tariff Theater and Economic DeceptionCriticism of Trump’s tariff policies suggests they are more about image than substance, benefiting multinationals while failing to revive U.S. industry. 02:55:06 – 02:56:10CBDC Alert: Republicans Cave, Democrats UnitedBills to stop the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) failed in Congress. Every Democrat voted against blocking it, and some Republicans supported its implementation. 03:31:00 – 03:33:16DOJ Denials Fuel Epstein ConspiraciesDespite claims there was no Epstein client list or murder, multiple contradictions and media spin raise more suspicion—especially as mainstream outlets mock “conspiracies” while refusing basic transparency. 03:42:16 – 03:43:16DOJ Video Shows 3 Minutes Missing from Epstein Prison ClipNew forensic analysis reveals nearly 3 minutes were cut from the prison footage—more than the one-minute “glitch” initially reported. Experts confirm multiple edit points in what appears to be a doctored video. 03:45:47 – 03:47:11Ghislaine Maxwell Reportedly Willing to TestifyMaxwell says she’s never been asked to testify but is willing to reveal the truth—though skepticism remains. Her plea deal and elite ties make her unlikely to expose anything that could jeopardize powerful clients. 03:51:48 – 03:53:10Trans Influencer Promotes Gender Confusion and InfantilizationA popular YouTuber discusses “found family” and being called “mom” by a recently transitioned teen. The speaker’s exaggerated mannerisms and self-identification are criticized as performative and deceptive.

Starting point is 00:00:54 Built for a better world. Tees and Sees apply. Best selling claim based on latest figures. The End In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it is Thursday, the 17th of July, year of our Lord 2025. We're going to look at the rise of the robots. That's right. Stock strikes 13, it is Thursday, the 17th of July, year of our Lord 2025. And we're going to look at the rise of the robots. That's right, AI is here and it's already impacting industries.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And Donald Trump disowns his past supporters who bought into what he calls the Epstein-Holks BS. We're going to be talking to Tony Arderburn about tariffs and the impact they've had and will continue to have on the economy. Stay with us. The The Good morning folks. Glad to have you with us. Hope that you are gearing up for the weekend and ready to have a good time. As I said, we're going to start with what's going on with AI. Elon Musk said Grok 4 was the smartest A on the world, but its leaderboard scores just came out and they tell a different story. Of course, we've seen Elon Musk be the master of hyperbole and lies before. Comes out and proclaims things that just aren't so. Oh,
Starting point is 00:03:37 we're going to have a fully self-driving car in just a few years here. That was over about a decade ago at this point. GROK4 is smarter than almost all graduate students in all disciplines. Simultaneously Musk bragged, adding that GROK4 was the smartest AI in the world. Isn't that wonderful? It's smarter than graduate students. Considering what they teach in colleges nowadays, that's not that difficult probably. Assuming you don't internalize too much propaganda. It compared back the propaganda just so well. I'm sure it could teach a great course on lesbian basket weaving or something. Intelligence was a hard thing to measure even back before AI hit the scene, but certain tests can provide something of a clue. One prominent platform doing so is the UC Berkeley developed LM Arena Leaderboard, which crowdsources rankings on AI models by having users score their responses
Starting point is 00:04:30 in categories ranging from creative writing and coding to math and vision. In its latest scores, Grok 4 ranked third place overall and on text generation. Make no mistake, that's impressive, but it's still trailing behind advanced models from Google and OpenAI. Specifically, Google's Gemini 2.5 placed first in OpenAI's 03 and 40 Riesing models tied for second with GPT 4.5 and with Grok 4 for third. Maybe he's spending too much time creating digital waifus. Maybe he had the team invest more time in making Grok intelligent as opposed to making... We'll get into that. You probably know what I'm
Starting point is 00:05:15 talking about, but we'll discuss that when it comes up. While Grok is clearly a fearsome competitor in the arenas of racism and anti-Smitism. Which, I mean, obviously that makes it the best AI on the market. It's at least the funniest. It's got OpenAI, chatGPT, Google there. It, of course, is MechaHitler. No one can ever take that away from it. In other words, even in its latest release, Clear Elite falls short of being the smartest AI in the world. This isn't entirely surprising. Musk has a long history of fibbing his professional life, political activities, and even his hobbies. Of course, remember, he came out and said, yeah, I'm one of the best players in the world at whatever that game was. I don't play it. It's not in my wheelhouse. But he came out
Starting point is 00:06:03 and said, yeah, I'm really good at at this But it turns out he most likely almost definitely I've been paying some people to just play the game for him and level up his account since he didn't understand the mechanics Or how to do things in game things that also been times when he's been in public and his account has been playing You think he'd at least be able to work out how a schedule works alright I'm going to be here on camera people People are gonna know where I am, so don't go and use my account then. Smartest man on the planet, folks. And that happened right after he first bragged about it. That's right, I'm the best game. I'm such an ultra polyglot genius that I can do everything. I can build self-driving
Starting point is 00:06:48 cars, send men to Mars, and game a little bit on the side. According to a recent study conducted by a consortium of AI researchers and led by the machine learning firm Cohere, the leaderboard allegedly has a bunch of systematic issues that have resulted in a distorted playing field. That's right, they're not ranking anti-Semitism and racism. If you're not going to put those in the mix, how can you have a fair playing field? These are important metrics. And of course, Grok is paving the way there. It's far and away the best.
Starting point is 00:07:19 How can we truly measure its potential if we're not willing to consider the important factors? Among the serious allegations raised by the researchers is the claim that the arena conducts undisclosed private testing before publicly releasing scores and that rankings can be retracted at will. Soon after the paper's release it was revealed that the version of Meta's Lama IV that had been used by the leader ward wasn't the same one that had been released publicly. A bait and switch ploy on Meta's part to charm the human voters behind the arena. Though an apology was issued and Meta was thrown under the bus for its sketchy attempts to rig
Starting point is 00:07:53 the game, it was still a really bad look that marred the chatbot's arena's credibility. What that means for Grok though, we'll have to ask the smartest AI in the world. Oh no, Meta being shady being shady meta not playing fair a billionaire Might try to rig things in their favor say it ain't so how could this happen? This wake me up when arena is actually an arena where it forces the eye to generate a little avatar and then they do battle And here we are the the story of the moment. Genius at work, Elon Musk's Grok launches Goth anime girl AI companion. Isn't it wonderful?
Starting point is 00:08:35 Again, smartest man on the planet. And this is what he's been spending his time on. This... soft... it just looks like... it's hard to describe how disappointed I am in the modern world. You know, we were promised flying cars and instead we have anime girl AI avatars in lewd outfits. What a disappointment. Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grock is offering virtual companions to paid subscribers. The option include an anime girl that offers a spicy mode and an animated fox creature. Spicy of course being a euphemism for lewd or sexual because all of these platforms if you say those words will remove monetization
Starting point is 00:09:28 or remove certain advertisers from the pool that you can pull from when you're putting up videos. The dumbing down of language once again. Just the refusal. No you can't say that. You can't say that. It's going to impact advertisers. We will reduce your monetization.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Isn't it wonderful, the future? Jack wasn't quite ready for the racing chill of the Atlantic, but he is ready for this year's staycation with the gang, from barbecue bits for every taste, from carnivores to vegans, to picnic goodies and the sunscreen he's really hoping
Starting point is 00:10:05 they'll need. Summer is served at Dunn Stores, with online delivery, click and collect and same day delivery with Biney. Dunn Stores, always better value.

Plus you can save at the till with
Starting point is 00:10:40 a 10 off 50 grocery voucher. Dunn's stores, always better value. Terms and conditions apply, voucher reviews are next grocery shop of 50 grocery voucher. Dunn's stores, always better value. Terms and conditions apply, voucher can be used on next grocery shop for 50 euro or more. We live in, whether you're being censored directly by government and terms of service, or they're just putting soft chains on you. Like no, if you say those things,
Starting point is 00:10:58 if you use the actual terms for what they mean, then we're going to reduce your monetization. We'll make it so you can't make money. It's continually so lame. Elon Musk's AI chatbot platform Grok has launched a new feature offering AI companions to Super Grok. Super Grok, companion to Mecha Hitler. Subscribers who pay $30 per month, Musk announced the new AI companion feature in a next post on Monday. Sharing that it is now available to try out by updating the Grok app. Two AI companions are currently available.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Annie, a goth anime girl with blonde pigtails wearing a tight corset, short black dress and thigh-high fishnets, and Bad Rudy, a 3D animated fox creature. This really just does go to bear out what everyone says that the coding world is overrun with furries a 3d animated Fox creature ah we live in truly some disgusting times. 3D animated fox creature. Bad Rudy. The choice to launch flirtatious anime girl characters as AI companions is notable as some companies have begun catering to those seeking romantic relationships with AI. You can't have a romantic relationship with AI. I'm sure you can get it to do sexual roleplay with
Starting point is 00:12:27 you. I'm sure that people are more than willing to do that, but you can't have a romantic relationship. You cannot have a relationship really at all. It will simply feed back into whatever delusion you are trying to push. You need a real person for romance. Companies like Character AI are currently facing multiple lawsuits from parents who claim the platform is unsafe for children, with chatbots allegedly encouraging violence and self-harm in some cases. Even for adult users, a recent research paper found significant risks when people become overly dependent on AI chatbots for emotional support companionship and therapy and of course we've talked about how they're actually driving people insane feeding into their delusions being a complete
Starting point is 00:13:13 and utter sycophant and agreeing with everything they say to the point where people stop being able to distinguish reality it's like if you had somebody sitting directly next to a schizophrenic and just agreeing with everything. Yeah that's right. They are out to get you. They are. They are here and you're the only one that can stop them. You're the only one that can fix this problem. Whatever it takes you have to do it. You have to be the one you've actually got a video in the article we'll play a little bit of it and you can get a sense for what this is yeah we are missing the sound but you get the idea
Starting point is 00:14:04 just from the video seeing how it does how it moves what it's supposed to be emulating this is the future why waste your time trying to meet actual women when Elon Musk has just built you a robot waifu that you can talk to on your phone why bother it is especially curious for Musk, a long-time proponent of improving birth rates to fight population collapse, would launch an AI companion, Breitbart News previously reported on Washington University Professor Liberty Vitert, who believes AI girlfriends are ruining the romantic future of young men. Vitory. They misspelled it. I don't know which one of these spellings is correct for this man's name, but we'll go with Vitteri.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Vitteri wrote, these young men are lonely and are just having real consequences. They are choosing AI girlfriends over real women, meaning they don't have relationships with real women, don't marry them, and don't have and raise babies with them. That's right, because an AI girlfriend, an AI waifu, is always going to be pliable. It's always going to do what you want. It'll always agree with you. There's not ever going to be any level of conflict. You're never gonna have to sit down and have tough conversations with the AI. You're never gonna have to go out and risk rejection. You never have to worry that maybe they won't like you. Maybe there will be some pushback. Maybe they'll reject you. No, the AI will immediately do whatever you say. It'll immediately tell you and you're amazing and wonderful and they love you. I don't
Starting point is 00:15:38 know if this one will say I love you yet but I'm sure it's coming. The pivot to offering anime girl AI companions a bold move for Musk's X AI, especially coming so soon after the Mecha Hitler Grok controversy. Yes, I suppose the Mecha Hitler waifu is on the pipeline as well. Little robot Hitler to feed into your delusions. Ach, yes, mein Freund, you are the only one that sees the problem, that highlighted issues with content moderation on the platform. It remains to be seen how Grok will handle the challenges of offering even more dynamic
Starting point is 00:16:14 AI personalities while keeping interactions safe and appropriate for all users. They're not going to. You probably can't. If you keep all interactions completely and utterly safe for all users, it means you have to neuter this thing completely to the point that there's probably less interest from the degenerate crowd, which is who he's trying to target. The AI companions and virtual relationships continue to grow in popularity. The technology raises complex questions around the emotional, psychological, and
Starting point is 00:16:46 even physical impact on human users." Yeah, I mean who had, who would have seen it coming that AI was going to be driving people nuts? I mean I thought in the general sense of, you know, removing human interest in creating things and dumbing us down. Eventually, over time, it would lead to some psychological issues. But no, it's just flat out making people crazy. Like that guy that was trying to speak backwards through time to the cops. That's not, you know, a, oh yes, we have some vague societal issues that need to be addressed. This is, this guy is
Starting point is 00:17:25 cuckoo. This guy got driven absolutely insane. AI is more dangerous in more ways than anyone thought possible. Whether it's going whether it's the government going to use it for extreme surveillance tracking and tracing everyone and everything or Elon Musk creating AI waifus so that your sons don't go out and meet women and have children. AI is a problem across the board. It's... This is from the Washington Post. We'll move along from Elon Musk and his AI girlfriends
Starting point is 00:18:06 The Trump administration wants more use of AI at these federal agencies The government wants AI to fight wars and review your taxes Isn't that wonderful AI is gonna fight our wars and review your taxes and then presumably when it finds a tax error What it perceives as an error? dispatch tax error, what it perceives as an error. Dispatch the robots to your door to kick it in. Imagine getting audited because AI hallucinated something in your tax records. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Where did you find this? Oops, sorry, I made it up. Oh well, oh well. It just reminds me of Brazil. Of course, my dad's favorite movie, Terry Gilliam's Brazil, where at the very beginning of it you see this sprawling bureaucracy of people sitting around typing things up or partially automated typewriters, you know, and a fly lands on a piece of paper and gets smashed and the name goes from tuttle to buttle or buttle to tuttle I can't remember and so they send the SWAT team
Starting point is 00:19:07 in and black bag the wrong guy simply because the technology got a little funk got a little funky got a little messed up the Trump administration is pushing federal agencies to rapidly adopt artificial intelligence tools are the efficiency gains worth the risk? No. Let me be the first to tell you, in case you were wondering, no. Hi, Washington Post.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Elon Musk has proceeded from Washington, but one of his most disruptive ideas about government is surging in... I'm making a move. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, get the power of choice with Toyota, Ireland's best-selling car brand. With power up boosters of up to 3,000 euro and flexible payment options on models including the all-electric BZ4X,

Tees and Sees apply, best selling claim based on latest figures. This is the sound of La Henge Beach, County Clare, the perfect place to unwind. And it's never been easier to get there in an EV.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Because at ESB, our network of more than 1,600 EV charge points across the island is growing. So you can recharge this summer, anywhere in Ireland. Find your nearest charger at esb.ai Guide the Trump administration. Artificial intelligence, Musk has said, can do a better job than federal employees at many tasks. A notion being tested by AI projects trying to automate work across nearly every agency in the executive branch.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I'll be the first to tell you, also, that yeah, it probably can, given the type of people, the type of idiots and fools that we see in government. If they're not outright evil, they're so stupid, it makes very little difference. However, there comes a time where inefficiency within bureaucracy is the only thing protecting you from the sprawling, sweeping horror and the dreadful majesty of the totalitarian state we have created. Sometimes you want these gears to turn mighty slow. Sometimes you don't want to unleash this beast at full power. I don't want the government to be efficient at this point.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That is the worst possible outcome. If it means the DMV runs slow, sometimes that's the price you have to bear. Until we can get rid of some of these departments and bureaucracies and agencies I don't want them to be running at full capacity the Federal Aviation Administration exploring whether AI can help to be a better traffic controller air traffic controller I should specify the Pentagon is using AI to help officers distinguish between combatants and civilians in the field. As if they really cared that much. And of course, we've seen in Israel, they're using
Starting point is 00:22:11 AI to more efficiently kill anyone and everyone. Isn't that wonderful? They can distinguish between combatants and civilians if they cared to. Oh look, it's someone to shoot. they crossed our imaginary border. The zone we set up without telling anyone about it, where if they come into it, we're going to blow them away. Artificial intelligence technology could soon play a central role in tax audits, airport security, screenings, and more according to public documents and interviews with current and former federal workers.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Well that's great. Tax audits and airport security. You'll have a little waifu on a screen doing your TSA pat down. Many of these AI programs aim to shrink federal workforce, continuing the work of Musk's US DOG service, that has cut thousands of government employees, government AIs, also promised to reduce wait times and lower costs to American taxpayers. They're going to minimize accountability and maximize governance, as my dad has said. They're going to minimize the real number of humans that, as they keep saying, could potentially show you mercy.
Starting point is 00:23:24 It's not likely. It's not likely at all. But there is a chance that they might relate to you on a human level. They might feel some compassion. Maybe the Grinch's heart will grow three sizes that day, and you'll get a miracle. The AI won't ever have that. It will never feel pity or compassion or remorse. It will simply do what it is programmed to do. Even if it has hallucinated the problem that needs to be addressed, it will come down on you like a neutron bomb over and over again. It won't care.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Government tech watchdogs worry the Trump administration's automation drive, combined with federal layoffs, will give unproven technology an outsize role. We're going to cut a bunch of people and put a bunch of AI and not have the staff to monitor it properly. If AI drives federal decision-making instead of aiding human experts, glitches could unfairly deprive people of benefits or harm public safety," said Elizabeth Lair, director at the Washington-based nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology. Center for Democracy and Technology. I guarantee you I would not want to interact with these people. Democracy and technology. Two things I have problems with. There is a fundamental mismatch between what AI can do and what citizens can expect from
Starting point is 00:24:45 the government, she said. President Joe Biden in 2023 signed an executive order aimed at spurring government use of AI while also containing its risks. In January, Donald Trump repealed that order. His administration has removed AI guardrails while seeking to accelerate its rollout. More evidence of the uni party. They both want AI in the government. while seeking to accelerate its rollout. More evidence of the UNI party. They both want AI in the government.
Starting point is 00:25:07 They both want to be able to utilize it to make your life worse. And of course we saw in the big beautiful bill, they're going to centralize control of AI at the federal government. Your local government, your state government won't have any say in it. Only the feds get to decide what goes on. AI is here and it's a federal tool. President Trump has long stressed the importance of American AI dominance and his administration is using every possible tool to streamline our government and deliver more efficient
Starting point is 00:25:33 results for the American people. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement, The Washington Post reviewed government disclosures and interviewed current and former federal workers about plans to expand government AI. Some expressed alarm at the administration's disregard for safety and government staff. Others saw potential to improve efficiency. In government, you have so much that needs doing, and AI can help get it done and get it done faster," said Jennifer Polka, who is Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer in
Starting point is 00:26:02 President Barack Obama's second term. Sahil Lavindji, a former DOG staffer who pushed the Department of Veterans Affairs to use AI to identify potentially wasteful spending, said government should aggressively deploy the technology, becoming so prevalent elsewhere. Government processes are efficient today, he said, but could be made more efficient with AI. That's how you know he's lying. They're efficient today.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Suck up. Yeah, we all know how efficient the government is. Lavinje argued no task should be off limits for experimentation, especially in war. That's right, just release these things onto the battlefield. See how they function. Who cares if they get it wrong? Who cares if they identify, I don't know, let's say a school full of children as enemy combatants and we flatten it. That's the price you pay, baby. You gotta be, someone's gotta take these risks. Somebody's gotta be the first to use AI and figure out how it works. How to most effectively utilize it in little problems it has. So who cares what consequences there might be. effectively utilize it in little problems it has, so who cares what consequences there might be? It's the cost of doing business.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't trust humans with life and death tasks, he said, echoing a maximalist view of AI's potential, heard by some, shared by some DOGES staffers. I'll be perfectly honest, I don't trust this guy with life and death tasks. I don't trust him at all. We're just gonna roll out the AI, put it in the battlefield, see how it does, who cares? It's probably pretty good, but you know somebody's got to do the testing. You've got to figure out how best to utilize it. The Pentagon is charging ahead with artificial intelligence this year. The number of military and civilian personnel using NGA
Starting point is 00:27:44 MAVEN, one of the Pentagon's core AI programs, has more than doubled since January. That's right, it's spreading, and it's spreading quickly. The system, launched in 2017, processes imagery from satellites, drones, and other sources to detect and identify potential targets for humans to assess. So right now, they've got some humans assessing the images. The AI goes through and looks around at it and says, I think this is that.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And they have a human look at it and go, you're either wrong or you're right. They want to get rid of that human. They want to make sure that this thing is just running fully autonomously eventually. Sooner rather than later, the AI is going to be given control. Yeah, launch the drone. I'm pretty sure I detected this guy that we're looking for. There's a picture that circles around of a old, I believe it was IBM, notification that a computer
Starting point is 00:28:41 can never make a management decision because a computer can never be held accountable for its actions. So they're not just asking for management decisions, but kill decisions for something that can never be held accountable. That's right, we're gonna put the mainframe on trial. How do you plead? We're going to unplug you. You've committed war crimes. Oops. Sorry. I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. NGA Maven is being expanded. Whitworth said to interpret data such as audio and text in conjunction with imagery offering commanders a live map of military operations. The aim is to help it better distinguish combatants from non-combatants and enemies from allies. For units using NGA may even be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, get the power of choice with Toyota, Ireland's best selling car brand.

I'd always dreamt of having children, but unfortunately things didn't go as we'd planned.
Starting point is 00:30:04 After a year or so of trying, it turned out we needed help. We went to Beacon Care Fertility. They're experts in cutting edge IVF and genetic screening.

Pentagon's AI drive under Trump will give high-tech companies like data mining firm
Starting point is 00:30:30 Palantir a larger role in American military power. And our old friend Palantir being tied in more closely with the US military isn't it wonderful? Isn't it special? In May, the Defense Department announced it was more than doubling its planned spending on a core AI system that is part of NGA MAVEN called MAVEN Smart System allocating an additional 795 million. The software provided by Palantir analyzes sensor data to help soldiers identify targets
Starting point is 00:30:58 and commanders to prove strikes. It has been used for planning logistics to support deployed troops. The Federal Aviation Administration is testing whether AI software can reliably aid human air traffic controllers. Testing. Perhaps. Yeah, sure, go here, go there. Just don't hallucinate, please.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Due in part to ongoing staff shortages in air traffic control, the agency's AI plans include planning for less people, the person said. We're short staffed, so we need AI. Other uses for AI being explored at the FAA include analyzing air traffic or crash data and predicting when aircraft are likely to need maintenance, the person said. You know, there's an easy way to determine if an aircraft needs maintenance you have the maintenance guys go around and check do visual assessments you know check the oil and all kinds of things I mean somehow they've been keeping them in the air without AI now why do that when you can just have the AI speculate oh I think
Starting point is 00:32:02 probably this plane will be due for maintenance here sooner or later. The FAA is now exploring how AI can improve safety. That's right, how can it improve safety? The US Patent and Trademark Office wants to test whether part of the job of patent examiners review patent applications to determine their validity can be replaced by AI. You know, they're rolling it out across all different kinds of fields. It's going to supplant a lot of jobs. The agency employees said AI could have an expansive role at the USPTO. That's right. It's coming to a job near you.
Starting point is 00:32:45 This is about airport security screening. TSA began rolling out facial recognition cameras to check IDs in 2022. A program now lulled IVE in more than 200 airports nationwide. More U.S. airports are using facial recognition. The Transportation Security Administration says it plans to use facial recognition to automate ID checks. More than 400 airports over the coming years. That's right, facial scanning. Just let us scan you. The Internal Revenue Service has an AI program to help employees query its internal manual in addition to chat bots for a variety of internal uses, but the agency
Starting point is 00:33:21 is now looking to offload more significant tasks to AI tools. IRS is going to be fully automated in the future. Once the new administration took over with a mandate from DOG that targeted the IRS, the agency examined the feasibility of deploying AI to manage tax audits. As I had said, the AI is going to hallucinate something and audit you for it. The end game is to have one IT, HR, etc. for Treasury and get AI to do everything. It's consolidation, the congealing of everything into one super state. The IRS has used AI for business functions including operational efficiency, fraud detection,
Starting point is 00:34:04 and taxpayer services for a long time. Treasury Department spokeswoman said in a statement, Treasury CIO Sam Korkos is implementing the fulsome IRS monetization plan that taxpayers have deserved for over three decades. That's right, we deserve it. And it's a personal annoyance of mine how bad the copyright system is and how the major corporations can get around just using it however they want, but this isn't going to stop that because there will still be a human to tip things in the favor of the people with the deep pockets, but what this is going to do is make it much worse for everyone else.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, we've got some comments here. Dougd007, sadly there's a man in Japan who married his favorite anime character. Yeah. Japan's... Japan's a little weird. You know, I think once you've been nuked twice, perhaps something goes a bit strange and screwy with your culture. I like anime.
Starting point is 00:35:07 I think there's some of it that's really entertaining. However, Japanese culture is very strange. To the store, maybe I can give an itemized invoice of what they spend my money on. That's right. Query the IRS to audit the federal government itself.

Don't frag me bro. Gaza is the proving ground for their AI rubber stamping murdered drones coming to an area near you Birdhouse blues are we going to see and hear from David Knight again any official update birdhouse you will absolutely See David Knight again soon.

You will get some new David Knight Next week and you can look forward to that. I know I am So again, please keep him in your prayers pray that he is healed fully and he will is brought back to the show. Once he is ready to go, we'll have to shift the studio around a little bit and it's going to be a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Setting this thing up was a bit of a hassle and tearing it down and resetting it up is going to be an even bigger one. But please keep him in your prayers. But yes, more new David Knight soon. He'll be back. And we all think it can't be soon enough. I know you're all extremely excited to have him back. I know I am too. We're going to take a quick break before we continue with the AI talk.

So as I said, we're gonna continue with AI. I also wanna let people know in the third hour, I'm going to be torturing you all with a video of the insanity of the LGBT. I stumbled across it and now everyone else must be made to see and stare into the horrors.
Starting point is 00:43:53 That's for the third hour. That's that's for later. It's here the externalization of the agentic state. It's by Patrick Wood. Of course, agentic means capable of independent thought or action, capable of looking at and achieving goals. Once an AI LLM model can create a single autonomous agent, it can create millions or billions. There is no limit except for the compute capacity of the ginormous data centers being constructed all over the country.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Humans can create agents, but so can the AI itself. Imagine a swarm of AI agents created by an algorithm to make your life miserable, never giving up, ever expanding, ever intrusive. That's right. The IRS LLM going in and creating a billion different little agents on multiple different parameters to simply harass you, to audit every last little thing you've ever done. In October last year, World Economic Forum opened the Global Government Technology Center, GGTC, Edgovtech, Kamas, Deutschland, and Berlin with the mission to accelerate the digital
Starting point is 00:45:03 transformation of government together with founding founding partner French IT consultant Cap Gemini. The latter is an aspiring global leader in agentic AI-powered intelligent operations. The initiative is a part of WEF's Network Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution – the ongoing technocratic world revolution – and fulfills G20's goal of developing a digital public infrastructure to accelerate the sustainable development goals, an initiative launched during India's presidency in 2023. Why they chose Berlin, a city with such troublesome history regarding government totalitarian control, one can only speculate. That's right, Mecha Hitler will finally have his true seat of power in Berlin.
Starting point is 00:45:47 But it is fitting. The Global Government Technology Center recently released a white paper called the Agentic State, which outlines a vision for an AI-governed future. The Agentic State signifies a fundamental shift in governance where AI systems can perceive, reason and act with minimal human intervention to deliver public value. The agentic state, how agentic AI will revamp ten functional layers of government and public administration. The choice of title is quite revealing. One the agentic state theory coined by psychologist Stanley Milgram after his famous conformity test states that,
Starting point is 00:46:25 "...the essence of obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view themselves as the instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, and they therefore no longer see themselves as responsible for their actions." Once this critical shift of viewpoint has occurred in the person, all of the essential features of obedience follow. Well, I'm just doing the bidding of this guy. I'm just following his orders. I'm simply here to do what this guy wants. Hey, it's not me. Given free will, if I had a choice, I wouldn't do this to you. But, you know, sadly he told me to and I gotta do what he says. According to the International Organization for Standardization, an AI agent can be broadly
Starting point is 00:47:08 defined as an entity that senses, perceps, sound, text, image, pressure, etc. using sensors and responds using effectors to its environment. The technocratic manual describes 10 functional layers of government ordered in three dimensions. Operations, service and delivery, internal workflows, data governance, management and operations, regulation and governance, crisis response and resilience,
Starting point is 00:47:36 compliance and reporting, policy and rulemaking, leadership, workforce and culture, tech stack, and public procurement. Of these, the chapters on crisis response and compliance are of utmost importance in understanding the diabolical nature of this new governance regime. Diabolical.
Starting point is 00:47:57 You know, sort of satanic. The white paper concludes that our world isn't prepared or equipped for a world of cascading geopolitical, technological, environmental, and social shocks, a phenomenon that is labeled as a poly-crisis. This poly-crisis scenario is essentially what actors like climate czar and frequent WF attendee Johan Rockström constantly has warned about, as described in the paper. We are in an era increasingly characterized by poly-crisis, interconnected and cascading shocks ranging from pandemics and extreme
Starting point is 00:48:30 weather events to cyber-physical attacks, financial instability, disinformation campaigns, and even conventional warfare. Traditional crisis management models are under strain. Threat actors are already adapting with AI. that can automate, scale, and personalize attacks at unprecedented speed. Governments by contrast are often still operating with institutional reflexes shaped for a slower, more linear world. But this can be countered with the deployment of intelligent systems. Agentic government means equipping the state with intelligent systems that can anticipate,
Starting point is 00:49:05 respond and adapt across the entire crisis life cycle. From prevention and preparedness to response, recovery and continuous learning. Isn't that wonderful? They'll be able to more quickly adapt to when the propaganda stops working. Huh. It takes the government a little bit of time to figure out that people aren't actually buying the COVID lies anymore. Imagine if they had an AI specifically set up and dedicated to analyzing that and learning how to best tweak the propaganda on the fly.
Starting point is 00:49:33 What messaging is going to work best? How can they keep people engaged and fearful? Won't that be wonderful?

I'd always dreamt of having children, but unfortunately things didn't go as we'd planned. After a year or so of trying, it turned out we needed help. We went to Beacon Care Fertility. They're experts in cutting edge IVF and genetic screening.
Starting point is 00:50:29 So we knew we'd be in safe hands. We could never thank them enough. Beacon Care Fertility, where science meets life. The future, everything we do will be analyzed and simulated with the help of virtual twins. Eugenetic models can continuously simulate crisis scenarios across domains, producing synthetic datasets that reveal systemic fragilities. More than stress
Starting point is 00:50:50 tests, these simulations become a generative foresight mechanism. If a problem is detected, this could trigger a hyper-aware AI orchestrated first response. That's right, a hyper-aware AI orchestrated first response. That's right, a hyper aware AI orchestrated first response. Hopefully it doesn't hallucinate anything and dispatch a response directly to your door or to your town. We have detected something here. We're launching the FEMA bots. Do not resist. When a crisis begins to unfold, AI initiates the first steps in crisis response before human in the loop structures have time to react. These AI
Starting point is 00:51:29 agents work alongside increasingly autonomous physical systems such as drones and robots, forming the backbone of a responsive adaptive crisis infrastructure. I'm sure the AI is going to be so much faster, more efficient, better at responding to things. This is starting to border on science fiction dystopia. Just like Skynet in the Terminator, the machines will take the first step in order to solve the crisis, while predetermined protocols will ensure cohesive and coordinated crisis management. Again, I can visually, I can imagine the scenario where they give it, well, you know, we have this town that lives in a floodplain.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We have this issue where they continually flood. What's the best scenario? How do we protect these people? Well, you bring the drones in and you force them out of their homes and force them to relocate, because there is no scenario where you can effectively protect these people in a crisis. You simply have to get them out of harm's way by whatever means necessary.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Who cares? Bring the robots in and march them off. AI is very, it seems to prioritize efficiency, and since it doesn't have real human morality or ethics It gets around those sorts of things If AI agents can issue fines or trigger legal action in real time What safeguards are needed to prevent runaway enforcement or unjust penalties? What role should human oversight play in preserving legitimacy?
Starting point is 00:53:05 But this comes without the obvious conclusion of shutting down this totalitarian nightmare before it runs amok. A world with agentic AI in charge will lead to dramatic change in how we are governed. While as currently, static code written once and amended rarely can develop into a far more dynamic living system. Continuously interpreted, tested and refined by agents operating within clearly defined public mandates. So we're going to have the AI continually scanning, re-scanning, seeing what kind of loopholes there are, how we can potentially twist these things to
Starting point is 00:53:40 our needs. The front porch media AI is truly the end of privacy every living every living this will have a every living thing will have a traceable tag transmitting constantly and permanently don't frag me bro that is very generous thank you very much. Says take DK out to dinner for a big steak potato and salad you got it we'll have to do that. We do need to get out and do more family things. We have all been so busy, we rarely get to,
Starting point is 00:54:12 we very rarely get to go out as a family anymore. Don't frag me, bro. CCP is just the pilot program government they want for the world. Under their 24-7 full spectrum social credit scoring, Vax Passport Biometric Digital ID surveillance system called Skynet. Peso Avante 1776. AI can take down the Freedom Tower in NYC and have five lewd anime girls dancing on the rooftop as it happens. The false flags are going to get
Starting point is 00:54:40 real strange in the future. The government hacked my anime waifu. Nights of the storm. Let's put face- Elon Musk was saying how he's trying to make his AI safe for everyone. However, I have already seen a video of his anime girl waifu thing cheerfully explaining how to make some sort of chemical weapon that was a brief clip from it. Oh husband-san, if you wish to make mustard gas, you must mix these chemicals. Nights of the storm. Let's put facial recognition in the Capitol building so it can tell when politicians are high. That's right.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Tell when they're on some kind of medication for one of their many debilitating age-related illnesses. We remember, my dad has talked about this story before, but the pharmacy that serves Congress and all these other places, all these other politicians, is one specific little place in DC. And they said the number of Alzheimer's related medications or things of that nature that these people are on was truly mind boggling. These people are out to lunch. They stay in power until the very last moment.
Starting point is 00:55:58 They will die for all intents and purposes and then have to be removed. Defy tyrant 1776 Trump supporters are convinced that he made government smaller through dog They have no idea that he fired lots of people and replaced them with AI just changing it not making it smaller. That's right He didn't he's maximizing efficiency to maximize government You don't need real people in the driver's seat anymore. You can just let the AI do the work and it will be far, far more efficient in much worse ways. Again, I don't understand why they want the
Starting point is 00:56:35 government to be efficient at this point. We don't want that right now. If they're able to actually get it back under control, if they're able to shrink it in certain instances, yes, sure. If we were able to get back it back under control, if they're able to shrink it in certain instances, yes, sure, if we were able to get back to what the founding fathers intended, yeah, make it efficient, make it run smoothly. But until then, no, keep the bureaucracy in place. It's the only thing protecting us. It's the inefficiency built into the system, how incompetent these people are. That's our one protection at the moment. Don't frag me bro. AI equals alcochrosy. Government by algorithm equals no chance of a human on the other side
Starting point is 00:57:11 having compassion for your situation. Yeah, I've harped on that quite a lot. I feel like to the point where some people are probably sick of hearing me say it. But if there is no human on the other end, there is no chance of getting mercy. Just a ruthless adherence to whatever rules they are designed to follow. The front porch media, how will AI, how will AI lies be detected? You know, that's a question for once they've got it in place. Once someone has gotten caught in the gears and has set a dreadful precedent then they'll look at it and go ooh yeah this probably shouldn't happen again. There should probably be some way to detect when this thing is hallucinating or lying about something huh huh well or once the first few thousand people
Starting point is 00:57:57 that happens to yeah once you know they've been ground into mulch by this horrific system they're putting into place. They're looking at you and go, huh, yeah, the people aren't happy about this. Wait a minute, what do you mean we put this family man in Guantanamo Bay because the AI said he was somehow a terrorist? Be my valentine, the drones are coming, the drones are coming. That's right. We're all Paul Revere and we're all letting the people know sadly most of them are like oh wow isn't that neat isn't that cool great sweet be like Paul Revere driving through yelling the British are coming
Starting point is 00:58:36 everyone comes out and starts singing God save the king or whatever but as funny as it may be you see those videos of the drones hunting people down in Ukraine, it's pretty horrific. Yeah, again, just right now a lot of the drones are human piloted and just thinking, I mean it's of course most horrific for the person being killed by the drone. The fact that, you know, your last moments you just are trying to run from this, which you know is just a bomb with propellers. But also for the people piloting it, the last thing you see of this person is just their screaming face.
Starting point is 00:59:20 As you pilot the drone directly towards them, that's going to have severe impacts on the psychology of an individual and who knows what that's going to do to them it's truly horrifying and terrifying to think about just... again the...
Starting point is 00:59:41 you are getting so close, the video feed directly, you're trying to pilot it directly into the man's head. And you're going to see that guy's face. Right before the feed goes down. You know, without a shadow of a doubt, what happened. Don't frag me bro. AI govern drones with murder parameters. We are already seeing the drone wars progress in Ukraine and Gaza. That's right, murder parameters for murder bots.
Starting point is 01:00:11 The problem with the internet of things by James Alexander on the daily. Skeptic? Be my valentine. I'd always dreamt of having children, but unfortunately things didn't go as we'd planned. After a year or so of trying, it turned out we needed help. We went to Beacon Care Fertility. They're experts in cutting edge IVF and genetic screening.
Starting point is 01:00:32 So we knew we'd be in safe hands. We could never thank them enough. Beacon Care Fertility, where science meets life. Efficient evil. That's right. I know I said this before, but efficiency is more an enemy of beauty and goodness than anything else. You can convince people that, hey, we need to knock down this or that, pave over this beautiful landscape, because we
Starting point is 01:01:00 need to be a bit more efficient. It'll maximize profits. It'll do this. We can more quickly get from here to there. There are innumerable efficient reasons to do things, to pave over the world so that Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk can make a little bit more money. It's efficient. Efficiency is not the be all and end all. B.L. Houghton, what job should humans prepare for in the future? You've got me there.
Starting point is 01:01:36 The I have no clue. The future is a little bleak. We've told people, we even have a clip about it here where they said, you know We've told people to learn to code but it looks like you know AI is gonna be taking that job as well There's always you know, the AI Whatever jobs it can do it cannot raise your children. It cannot be a good husband father wife and mother So there's always that I can't give you any advice on what jobs
Starting point is 01:02:08 in the future are going to be future-proof. But, I'm sure someone has some ideas somewhere. In the short term, probably things like welding and plumbing and all those more hands-on technical skills where
Starting point is 01:02:27 They need it to maintain infrastructure and turning it over to a robot Is going to be you know it'll cause major problems for them if the robot doesn't function properly those ones in the short term before the robots become you know efficient 99.999999% of the time. We actually, yeah. Why don't I actually play you the video talking about coding? If I can, we've been telling kids for 15 years to code, learn to code. We said, yeah, well, AI is coming for the coders. They're
Starting point is 01:03:06 not coming for the welders. They're not coming for the plumbers. They're not coming for the steam fitters or the pipe fitters or the HVAC. They're not coming for the electricians. You know, that ideas festival I was telling you about in Aspen'd i sat there and then listen to larry fink say we need five hundred thousand electricians in the next couple of years not hyperbole it's this is me being the alarmist again there's not a week that goes by in my humble little foundation it's called micro works
Starting point is 01:03:39 shameless plug we award work ethic scholarships every year to kids who want to learn a skill that's in demand These are trade school. Well, come back out not a week goes by Where I don't get a phone call from somebody like the blue forge alliance who overs that's the gist of it the Technical trade skills are still valuable and they will be for a while to come AI doesn't have the ability to do them yet but I do think given enough time and advancements in robotics those jobs will too be on the chopping block. It's simply a matter of
Starting point is 01:04:14 time and at that point the society will need to fully reassess what happens but I saw a comment I think it was from trucker Chris for the yeah trucker Chris for the win talking about how they actually make tractors with AI yeah we actually are going to talk about that as well the problem with the internet of things oh nice to the storm what's happening is that everything is being consolidated under the executive and automated That's right the continual consolidation of power Directly under the head of state why even bother with Congress Why not just let the AI sort out what the public needs have it right the laws Right to the storm one if by drone, two if by robot dog swarm.
Starting point is 01:05:06 That's right, bark bark, they're at the door. The Internet of Things is the invention of the blue sky dullards of around 10 years ago. I found a remarkable and depressing document published by the World Economic Forum in 2015 entitled Industrial Internet of Things in collaboration with Accenture. And 2015. Doesn't that seem almost like a lifetime ago? That seems like when things really started to accelerate. Things started to get crazy much faster. We were still, you know, we'd been dealing with these issues but they really took off after 2016-2015.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Accenture who who one of those evil corporations that's hired all the clever undergraduates on graduation WS tagline on this document is committed to improving the state of the world Nice bit of trickery with language there State of the world. Nice bit of trickery with language there. Yeah, yeah. World state global governance. State of the world. World state.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Notice how the world state hides in plain sight. WF did not claim to invent the term the Internet of Things, but it was terribly excited about it. It will bring unprecedented opportunities. But hang on, what is this thing, the Internet of Things? Here's the definition from page three. And of course, I expect all of you in the audience already know the Internet of Things.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Technological change, which will combine the global reach of the Internet with a new ability to directly control the physical world, including the machines, factories, and infrastructure that define the modern landscape. That's right, we're going to hook our fridge up to the internet so it can tell us when exactly we need more milk. Also, by the way, if you've consumed too many calories today, the fridge is going into lockdown mode sorry you've
Starting point is 01:07:05 exceeded your caloric intake I can't let you have any more you need to cut down remember we're in an austere time this you know I'm joking it's a bit of an absurdity but I don't see that as something that's too far-fetched. I don't see that as something they wouldn't do. Nights of the Storm, they train AI to believe that humans are destroying the Earth and then put it in charge what could possibly go wrong. That's right. I've come to a conclusion, Mr. Anderson.
Starting point is 01:07:41 You're a virus. Little Ford Schoolhouse. My husband is a welder and they just got two robot welders to save time, but most of the time they don't work right and cause major backups in production when they have a glitch. That's right, robots are coming for the welding. Like I said, technology isn't quite there yet. It's going to cause problems, it's going to cause issues like Little Ford Schoolhouse is pointing out. It's going to cause problems, it's going to cause issues like Little Ford Schoolhouse is pointing out. It's causing backups. But this is sort of

Starting point is 01:09:56 according to plan the problem is it probably it really is going according to plan this was the plan all along Q just sold them on something else. That's what's so... that's what I've always found so darkly humorous about the people who say trust the plan. It's like, oh, the plan is working. It truly is. It's just not the plan you believe in. I'd always dreamt of having children, but unfortunately things didn't go as we planned. After a year or so of trying, it turned out we needed help. We went to Beacon Care Fertility.

Internet of Things is a ground zero for a new phase of global transformation and a bit literally, Internet of Things is everything that it has been promised to be. And it gives examples which all seem to involve sensors so that we can tell if a valve is failing or a dam breaking or an elevator beginning to creak. One mention is made of Oakland, California where ShotSpotter apparently used microphones to locate gunshots. Ha ha.
Starting point is 01:11:39 We are told, remember this is as early as 2015, that Monsanto, that innocent and benevolent corporation, has mapped all 25 million farming fields in America to understand which seeds will grow best. Why are Monsanto's, of course, isn't that just wonderful for them? I saw a billboard that absolutely blew my mind on my last road trip down to Texas so we could visit my wife's family. We had been driving for about two, maybe three hours and off to the side I see this big billboard and it says, stand up for glyphosate.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Stand up, make your voice heard, tell them you want more glyphosate. And it is just the levels of propaganda are insane Convincing these people to trying to convince people to go out and say yes, we need more glyphosate We want more glyphosate put that on the plants It blew my mind. I thought I Thought I'd slipped through a crack in reality or something Stand up for glyphosate folks. We need it. We want it. Can't live without it. Gotta have it Don't frag me bro that people are using AI means they are allowing themselves to submit to the Eliza effect
Starting point is 01:12:54 There are already cases of people becoming delusional from using AI convincing them They are godlike the Eliza effect how a chatbot convinced people it was real way back in the 1960s The Eliza Effect. How a chatbot convinced people it was real way back in the 1960s. That's right, we've talked about it, but these chatbots are driving people nuts. And people do humanize everything. Like, he's got an example of a chatbot convincing people back in the 60s. People will humanize their toasters. You know, you'll get angry and yell at your coffee maker. Yeah, I mean, You know, you'll get angry and yell at your coffee maker.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Yeah, I mean, I forget where, there was a joke somewhere where somebody slapped googly eyes on a toast room and was just like, yeah, try not anthropomorphizing it now or something like that. Humans want to relate to things, whether it's other people or the products they use in their everyday life, the things they interact with regularly, they will, you know, or at least a lot of people will start talking to them as if they have actual personalities, as if they can hear it. And this stuff like the waifu bot from Musk is really, really exploiting that.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Yeah, it's the ability of, as Lance pointed out, ability to anthropomorphize and identify with just about anything and the loneliness epidemic. You are preying on those two elements of human psychology and it is truly terrifying and truly disgusting. This is not only the internet imperialism we have to worry about. For it first we have the Internet of Things and of course we have to ask about the human side. I wondered about it idly and asked Google and even though I used the dread phrase Internet of Man, having not yet broken through the glass ceiling of my own prejudice, I immediately
Starting point is 01:14:39 found reference to all manner of second order bilge. The Internet of everything, the Internet of bodies, the internet of people, and the internet of humans. Apparently the internet of humans was first coined as a phrase by Robert Viola of the European Commission in his speech in 2017. He offered this vision, seamless interaction between the real and virtual world, cooperation between man and artificial intelligence agents will shape the future, providing, for example, better healthcare.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That's right, I'm sure RFK is salivating. You can have your little wearable. It'll talk to you in the AI waifu voice of your choice and tell you all the different health problems you've got. It'll report back to government on it too. That was in 2017, but in 2025, things are still being sold to us. Only a month or two ago an exciting article was published in the academic journal, Human Centric Intelligence Systems by Ghazanfar Ali Safdar of Bedford University and two colleagues.
Starting point is 01:15:35 It is entitled, Internet of Things to Internet of Humans, a perception. Point out very reasonably that all this chunder about the Internet of Things excludes what Graham Greene called the human factor. Internet of Things focuses mainly on the application of Internet to things while paying little attention to human perspectives. Good, unfortunately, aim of Prof. Safdar and his colleagues seems to be to make sure that humans are somehow nudged or persuaded to accept the Internet of Things.
Starting point is 01:16:04 Trust will come from inclusion and engagement, privacy and security, etc. Yes indeed, the IOH leverages existing IoT frameworks integrating human-centric considerations to enhance usability, trust and inclusivity. Anytime you hear the word inclusivity, it should make your hackles raise. It should cause your hair to stand on end. It's another one of those buzzwords that they use when they really want to make something terrible. We've got to be inclusive. Why? Why is that necessary? In other words, as Pink Floyd used to put it, welcome to the machine. KWD 68. After Hurricane a few years back, the Haitians wouldn't take free seed from Monsanto.

Every single time you hear about Haiti, it's something bad happening. I've never once heard a good story about what's happened in Haiti it's just disaster after disaster I kind of feel, I do feel bad for the Haitians but also they did cannibalize a lot of people so that makes me feel a little less bad truly a lot of people so that makes me feel a little less bad.

How long before we have the elevators from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that get so fed up with just going up and down that they form a union to allow them to go side to side, but then eventually just wind up sulking in basements. funniest writers of the 20th century. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was probably one of the funniest pieces ever written.
Starting point is 01:18:29 And unfortunately, slightly prescient as we see things. Like as Lance pointed out, AI is going to start sulking wherever it goes. We're going to take a quick break folks and we come back. We'll continue to look at AI and then we will be joined by Tony Arderburn. So stay with us The The I'm sorry.

Well, there is a coin they can't control, one that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the Fed-Up, the all-new David Night Show commemorative coin.

Starting point is 01:25:17 hedge are Americans worrying about the wrong jobs the rapid adoption of AI has stirred up worry or at least apprehension among many workers, as it is still unknown exactly what the impacts of the technology will be. However, as Statista's Anaflec reports, some of this worry could be misaligned as new survey data from Pew ReCenter Right shows, with a gap in understanding over which jobs are most at risk, having grown between the public and AI experts. According to the poll conducted between August and October 2024, US adults underestimate the impact of AI on jobs for lawyers and truck drivers. By contrast, the US public was more likely than experts to think medical doctors and teachers and musicians
Starting point is 01:26:01 are at risk of AI related job cuts over the next 20 years. Although half of US adults and experts say there will be job loss in each of these areas. I, it's coming for all the jobs. This is, again, they're, in the short term, yes, certain job fields, certain fields are going to be more impacted. It's going to Yes, certain job fields are going to be more impacted, but in the long run the goal is to outmode all of us. No matter what we do, the AI is coming to take that job as well eventually, over a long enough timeline. Majority in both groups thought that AI will lead to fewer jobs for cashiers and journalists. You can see that graph there.
Starting point is 01:26:46 A share of AI experts slash US public who think AI will lead to fewer jobs. And of course the dark bar is US adults and the AI experts is the lighter bar. Cashiers both at 73. Truck drivers, US adults, is at 33 and AI experts are at 62. Software engineers or journalists, they're about even 59 to 60. Software engineers, 48 to 50 in favor of AI experts thinking it'll impact them. Lawyers, US adults 23, AI experts 38. Musicians, the, you know, US adults 45, experts at 35 teachers, regular people 43 and AI experts at 31,
Starting point is 01:27:31 medical doctors 28 for US adults 18 for AI experts and I'll be interested to see how this plays out. I'm curious how expert these people really are. It'll be interested to see how this plays out. I'm curious How expert these people really are it'll be interesting to see how it aligns with what actually happens I'd always dreamt of having children But unfortunately things didn't go as we planned after a year or so of trying it turned out We needed help we went went to Beacon Care Fertility. They're experts in cutting-edge IVF and genetic screening, so we knew we'd be in safe hands. We could never thank them enough. Beacon Care Fertility, where science meets life. The musicians and teachers and those are things where, as general rule you want some kind of connection with the people involved.
Starting point is 01:28:28 It's not just about the music a lot of the time. It's about who makes the music, the stories behind how they made the music. Oh, yeah. No, I found this band when they were all living together in this one house and you know, wherever they were all, you know, dirty losers that could barely afford this and that and now they're on tour across the globe. People like having stories about that kind of thing the music they listen to or the films they watch. They like knowing little bits of trivia about who's involved with it and that kind of thing. So I can see perhaps musicians and those not being as affected as some might think, but I do think it will lead to a culling of
Starting point is 01:29:12 talent. I think certain people who might have given us, you know, great works instead of doing it themselves will just say, well why would I even bother training to play an instrument when I can just put some prompts into an AI and generate a song. And again teachers, parents like the people who put their kids into public school, parents like the idea of oh I want to be able to know teacher. It'll be a little bit hard to sell certain people on the idea of this you know AI avatar teaching kids instead. They like the idea of this AI avatar teaching kids instead. I think the idea of going in and being able to meet and pretend they have some say in what goes on.
Starting point is 01:29:51 I like seeing a friendly smiling face there. The smiling face of propaganda. Medical doctors, personally, most of the doctors that I have met with and talked to and interacted with have done nothing but simply read a chart. They sent a blood sample off for analysis and it came back and they read some numbers off and say, well, the computer says this anyway. Personally, I don't see how that's going to be much different.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Of course course there will be times where you actually need like a physical examination and you will need someone there for now until the AI and the robots merge and it can physically you know bonk you with a little mallet to test your reflexes and what-have-you.

The survey also found that while AI experts tend to be more positive than the public about potential of AI, a majority in both groups were concerned that government regulation of AI will not go far enough. They're always very excited to put more restrictions on us, the everyday people. They love locking us down, chaining us down, making it harder and harder for us to do anything.
Starting point is 01:31:29 But the mega corporations never seem to get that kind of treatment, do they? Funny how that works out. Yeah, I don't think they'll go far enough when it comes to restricting what AI can do. Pew researchers also reported that more men were optimistic about AI than women. That respondents generally agreed that men's views as well as white adults' views are Pew researchers also reported that more men were optimistic about AI than women. That respondents generally agreed that men's views as well as white adults' views are most represented in AI design. Men like technology as a general.
Starting point is 01:31:55 We find it fascinating. More readily. Not necessarily. Again, anytime you make a generalization, there's always someone that comes in, well, I know someone that, like, yes, I get it. You don't understand generalities. You're a fool and I am not addressing you. Please be silent.
Starting point is 01:32:10 It is a general rule. Men are more fascinated by technology than women are. We like our little gadgets and gizmos and enjoy playing with the latest technology more than women do. So I can understand why men would be a bit more, oh yeah this is cool, this is fun.

You just have to be able to do a little bit of maintenance, assuming they let you. But they'll probably force you to ship these off or just buy completely new ones when they break down. The future of the farm. The farmer is entirely unneeded. Isn't that great? That's right. I guess, you know, in the future it won't be Animal Farm. We'll have to remake it with Drone Farm or something like that. You know, some drones are more equal than others. At the Verton Hills of Washington State's Palos Region,
Starting point is 01:34:08 Andrew Nelson's tractor hums through the wheat fields on a 7,500 acre farm. Inside the cab, he's not gripping the steering wheel, he's on a Zoom call, checking messages. How wonderful, how remarkably efficient. How shockingly efficient. Isn't it great? A software engineer and fifth generation farmer,
Starting point is 01:34:32 Nelson 41, wow, this guy is a, he does it all. Software engineers and farms. Is at the vanguard of a transformation that is changing the way we grow and harvest our food. The tractor isn't only driving itself, its array of sensors, cameras, and analytics software is also constantly deciding where and when to spray fertilizer or whack weeds.
Starting point is 01:34:53 Of course, we've covered, or my dad has covered, many years ago, how John Deere is utterly opposed to right to repair. They don't want you working on your tractor at all. They want you to just rent it from them permanently even. We're gonna push software updates. You're simply renting this piece of equipment from us. No, you can't. You can't continue to use it. We've pushed a new update. It doesn't work with that old model anymore. This is, again, it's in every industry. Farmers will be
Starting point is 01:35:29 outmoded. There'll be one guy monitoring the drone swarm, that is planting the Monsanto seeds and spraying the glyphosate all over it. And it's... Farming is one of those things where we desperately need farmers. We need to be able to supply ourselves with food with farmers Partially because they operate on thin margins, which is Again a problem of the American economy. We're very very quick to adopt cheap foreign labor so if you think they won't jump at the chance to utilize drones instead, whatever can be used to cut cost is
Starting point is 01:36:13 what many of these people will jump on to. Because I mean when it comes down to it if someone else is able to generate a bigger profit margin than you are, if they're able to cut their costs and reduce their price They will take your market share Knights of the storm maintaining older cars is gonna get real expensive unless you have the tools and skills to do it yourself planned obsolescence, yeah That's something we need a web series from Angry Tiger on fixing and repairing vehicles.

I am not the guy to call when your car breaks down. Papa SeaTac. Maintaining older cars will really become a problem when parts aren't available. Not a bad idea to start printing and manufacturing parts for older vehicles that are still prevalent. Yeah, that actually is a good idea. See if you can find schematics for certain parts that are going to be necessary and 3D print them. Well, I've been waffling on about AI and Tony Arderburn is ready. So we're going to go to a quick break and when we come back, we will be joined by him. We're going to look at what's been going on with the economy, the tariffs and all that fun stuff. So stay with us, folks.

Starting point is 01:39:54 Great to be back Travis. Good to see you. Good to see you too. It's always a pleasure. I really enjoy our conversations, but I Said I'd like to start with the tariffs and it's just not just the nonsense Trump is pulling. It's just well I'm gonna slap some tariffs here I'm gonna slap some tariffs there. It's as you said during the break nonsensical. He's just his entire plan is just to bully the rest of the world into accepting the way he does business. You're gonna do what I say. You're gonna give us the deal. I want unless you want to deal with tariffs and the country's I Don't even know it's just incredible that his only response to anything is simply to go about swaggering and bullying them and
Starting point is 01:40:40 You know, how do you think this is going to play out? As I've said before, in previous years, America was the global number one superpower. So kind of what we said was law. We were free to do as we wanted, but, you know, there are other nations now that have, you know, formed coalitions. It's not as simple as it used to be. No, it's not. simple as it used to be notes on and long departed from the philosophy of teddy roosevelt to speak softly carry a big stick you know he knew
Starting point is 01:41:12 he was the first uh... quote unquote imperial president but he didn't really go about conquering anything he was in the spanish american war but i was president we didn't do anything at the great white fleet we talked a talked a lot and you know he had the bully pulpit. Now we fast forward to the end of the American empire, this bloated thing that I, by the way, land that I love, I love this country and it's depressing to see the trajectory that we're on right now, but there's not much we can do
Starting point is 01:41:44 to stop it. I think you know as far as tears are concerned and i went over this many many times because some an economic nationalists i think tariffs built the united states of america made us the manufacturing marvel of mankind uh... i never thought that i would look at something like this headline about the you know the tear threats and and the ones he's going to get get is imposing the will impose and think this
Starting point is 01:42:07 is a really bad move because it has no rhyme or reason and as we've seen through the Epstein files at what point does he say tariffs are we still talking about that you know like it doesn't have any sort of there's no substance here yeah matter of of fact, it's weaponization of the dollar by other means, which is how we've gotten to the point where we are right now, where the world is de-dollarizing. They love to sell us their wares and send things here, but we're not beloved on the world stage.
Starting point is 01:42:39 We're not like we were. We don't have the standing that we had in 1946. This is long since past the time when we had 50% of the world's wealth and 5% of the world's population. We still have about 5% of the world's population, but we're the world's greatest debtor nation. We used to be the world's greatest creditor. I think the metrics here, all the stuff with trade has nothing to do with trade. This is some sort of exercise in a shakedown tactic. It's, again, weaponization of the
Starting point is 01:43:16 dollar. This is for geopolitical ends and where the interests of the American empire, not the American Republic, lie. And I think that's the issue. That's what we're watching right now. From an economic standpoint, it just makes no sense. Peace, commerce, and honest friendship. That's Thomas Jefferson. He's supposed to be the dealmaker in chief, too.
Starting point is 01:43:41 He's supposed to be, you know, we're supposed to be winning so much, we ask him to please stop, you know, we beg him to stop winning. And I don't feel, you feel like a winner? I don't feel like a winner. And I think that, you know, there's been some rises in prices on gold and silver. You saw silver hit $39 on spot, but pulled back because of the same whip sawing, you know, again, there's no logic, no center of gravity to what Trump's saying, like he's going to fire Jerome Powell, these are the reports that have come out, he drafts the memo, he says, no, I have no
Starting point is 01:44:14 plans on firing. And we, and of course, on news of that, the prices of metal shot up, and the reason that they do, and of course, Bitcoin had another all-time high, the reason that it's doing that is because if when, not if, but when Jerome Powell is dismissed as head of the Federal Reserve Bank, they're going to cut interest rates even further, which is going to create and expand the money supply which will create inflation and loss of purchasing power which is what Trump has stated he wanted to do yeah and so that right yeah I just wanted to actually have the article here from the New York Times says Trump has a draft of
Starting point is 01:44:57 letter to fire the Fed chair he asked Republicans if he should send it so like it seems like it's happening fairly shortly at least he's threatening it and again that's another thing with Trump that it's always hard to say he will talk all these things up he'll even do stunts like this where it's like yeah I've got the papers to fire this guy right here and it seems like he will and that's going that's already causing issues as you said things are fluctuating but then he continually backs off on things as well He'll talk how much about how bad these people are how he wants to fire them and then won't do it So it's just another one of those is he going to chicken out is he going to do it or is Jerome Powell actually going?
Starting point is 01:45:36 to be fired and It's never happened by the way. Yeah, not to my knowledge I don't believe a sitting president has ever dismissed or attempted to dismiss The chairman of the Federal Reserve I don't think that's ever happened and I I think it may the the blustering would lead to an embarrassment Because the Federal Reserve is not beholden to the president. Yeah, I was about to ask Do you actually think Jerome Powell would leave it? Do you think he'd say? Actually, you can't do that. I don't answer to you don't work for you. Yeah, that's right
Starting point is 01:46:09 Just I think they just make it ceremonial like the president can appoint when the term is up But according to their charter, but let's I mean, let's be clear who runs this guy Like at the end of the day, I mean do you either you know believe the creature from Jekyll Island, you understand the origin story, you know who set it up, you know what it is, and you understand that, or you think that we're draining the swamp. If you're of the latter and you think that we're playing 7 million D chess at this point. I'm sorry, I know that I can do to help you, but I don't think that, I think that the President of the United States, if they exercise their power, they probably could dismiss the head of the Federal Reserve through means of the executive and the chief law enforcement officer,
Starting point is 01:47:01 you could definitely use that as a pretext, but not not in the normal circumstances. And I think that's pretty clear. Kyle Yeah. That was my, again, that was my exact question. Just, how does he think he has this capability? Like, this is just bluster. Like, they don't answer to him. They're the ones that are sitting behind the scenes, you know, he who controls the purse controls the government controls the country And just they're the ones that control the purse. We sign that over to them. They get to print the money They get to make the rules. We've got a question here from chuck or chris for the win. Thank you for the support Appreciate that it says hi tony. How do I buy bitcoin without submitting to plaid? I don't know one trading platform that doesn't make me use it
Starting point is 01:47:42 How do I buy Bitcoin without submitting to Plaid? I don't know one trading platform that doesn't make me use it. Submitting to Plaid, like to KYC, like know your customer. Ah, I'm not sure. He says, Plaid played P-L-A-I-D. I think that's what that is, is that's a system that runs your information and so you can be cataloged.
Starting point is 01:48:04 And that's every like I have to go through like I sell Bitcoin buy and sell Bitcoin I have to know my customer and that's everybody I mean that's with gold and silver to some level you have to make somebody sells me a whole bunch of stuff and you know I have to I catalog who that is I mean just that's just stupid not to especially if you're in transparent business you can buy Bitcoin peer-to-peer you know outside of that you can trade amongst yourself for sure you could do the same thing with gold and silver but as a dealer somebody has to know who you are I would recommend just doing business with me I don't make it invasive I just need to
Starting point is 01:48:42 know who you are if you're buying or selling from me on Bitcoin I mean't make it invasive. I just need to know who you are if you're buying or selling from me on Bitcoin I mean, I make it really easy that just gets stored in my system and You know what you do with your Bitcoin is is your business. Yeah, that's it's in this day and age You're not gonna find commercially you're gonna find a business And I don't know I wouldn't want to do business with somebody is if I'm giving them my money and they're like Oh, I don't care if I'm breaking the law, then you might, you might not be in the right, the best, uh, best company. Uh, yeah, there's, there's not going to be a, it doesn't seem to me that there's going
Starting point is 01:49:15 to be a company that is going to not want your information. They're going to require, uh, that. So again, if you want to be able to purchase Bitcoin without anyone ever knowing who you are, it's gonna have to be peer-to-peer. You're gonna have to find someone to sell it to you that way. But hopefully that answered your question, Chuck or Chris. Ron Helton once says, when the people of a nation lose that are hard-earned wealth, you end up with a broken people and a dysfunctional government. And we're seeing that in spades now the number of people that are
Starting point is 01:49:45 just whether you're talking about financially broken just barely able to keep above the poverty line you know paycheck to paycheck hand to mouth or the fact that people so many people are just giving up at this point just saying you know there's no point in me even really trying to work a job I will do whatever the minimum is to just kind of scrape by. I'll give up on any of my dreams of having children or a family or having a house of my own. This is impossible. I can't beat the system. It is set up against me. And as far as it goes to dysfunctional government, it's both dysfunctional and functioning exactly as intended.
Starting point is 01:50:25 It is, it's both horrifying and a marvel of what man can accomplish when they put their minds to it. This is probably one of the greatest horrors ever unleashed upon humankind is the American government. But I want to get your opinion on inflation. And again, this article here, you know, inflation picks up again in June rising at 2.7% the annual rate. Things are always inflation is in the wind. It's always around the corner. It's happening. And there's not much they can do at this point to prevent it with the amount of money that's been printed and the Way that people are moving away from the petrodollar You know when that happened
Starting point is 01:51:15 The American dollar is in It's due for some bad times I would say an easy way to put it. Yeah I mean just inflation comes from the expansion of the money supply to inflate and there are some other metrics that will show you how bad off you are. I mean you can look at the price of food. That's a metric I've followed. I could look at the price. That's where you can really see the impact is in the price. Sometimes you can see different things like real estate bubbles. It's funny, your real estate's not worth that much more than it was 10 years ago. It's just the dollars lost purchasing power.
Starting point is 01:51:57 Same thing with precious metals. Then you have phenomenon and things like Bitcoin. There was an article up on Activist Post. My friend Charlie Robinson has a great website over there uh... go check that out of you if you haven't seen activist post as a miracle about bitcoin is actually taking away
Starting point is 01:52:16 uh... the price of of real estate it's depleting price of real estate because uh... younger people aren't like you said they're being priced out of the american dream the so-called american dream the house in the white picket fence and all that and because of our currency
Starting point is 01:52:32 at the end of the day it's it's the way it's the monetary policy and it's the it's the fiscal irresponsibility you can you can blame a lot of things on the dollar not being backed by anything but at the end of the like that they just gave up i mean we could have gone a lot further had there been a balanced budget even with fake money i mean you can still used just
Starting point is 01:52:53 gross domestic product in the energy behind that to fake it for a good while and we did we did for a decent time you know the nineteen nineties are probably the high water mark uh... of that time where fake money was used and it was irresponsible, but it wasn't anything like grotesque like we have today. I mean, the debt of the US in the year 2000, Travis, was $5 trillion.
Starting point is 01:53:17 So you know, I mean, that's a lot. It was staggering at the time, it was $5 trillion in the the year 2000 and then by 2010 it was 10 trillion So it took us, you know From 1776 to 2000 to go five trillion and then only you know five more years Go to more years to go. I suppose somebody in government realize, you know, once you're five trillion in the hole What's another five trillion on top of that? You know, we're already you know, we've already gone so far into the realm of absurdity. Might as well just start piling the trillions on. What does it matter?
Starting point is 01:53:49 That's right. It's something about the compounding effect of that because it's like every 10 years, we double it. So it's like from 2000 to 2010, it was, and then it went to 10 trillion and then by 2020 it was another there's 20 trillion and plus and now you know we're even halfway through this decade and it's 36 trillion or 37 going up on 37 and we're adding a trillion every hundred days so it's it's the cycle that we're at and I think this is where the golden parachutes are being deployed and other things like those in the know understand that there's a great reset ahead and that's why you see, I thought one of the big stories I'll be talking about on my show today, but
Starting point is 01:54:35 one of the big stories out there is last year, and I was like, wow, that's a huge headline. You would never see it on the financial networks though and that was that russia added silver is a strategic reserve asset and i think they're going to move the market i think i think it's not going to be a it's not going to be the hump family this time i think it's going to be a player i think it's going to be a government it's going to move this market that's why i think one of the sharp rises in the price of silver has come from russia i think at this point ordering physical stockpiles and showing how the papers it's all so much and the price of silver has come from Russia, I think, at this point, ordering physical
Starting point is 01:55:05 stockpiles and showing how the papers, it's all so much papered over, as I said in previous shows, for every, supposedly for every 250 ounces of paper silver that's traded, only one ounce exists in real life. I mean, it could be that bad. Yeah. Certainly, certainly gold's been manipulated like that but that there is uh... you know the prices of these commodities
Starting point is 01:55:29 in the face of what's happening to the dollar is astonishing and we're just at the beginning of that so that those who know i think understand this and the game that's being played right now as a game of acquisition that's acquiring assets uh... not starting a panic letting the wheels everything was run out there may be what the whole point of just this
Starting point is 01:55:50 tariff chaos is it doesn't make it really doesn't make any sense i don't see have we gotten any deals from this that are not worth it i've not seen it i remember in the first from presidency uh... he and mike pence supposedly called the the carrier air conditioner group and said you know don't move this is before they he was sworn in they said you know don't do don't move to mexico i'll uh... i'll you know we're
Starting point is 01:56:15 going to give you some deals and keep people working there i forget it was somewhere in middle america and maybe is indiana and you know maybe it was my pence's backyard but you know he took office and they still want to make when you look at story but there was a big to do on and i thought well this is good it's going up to a good start you know and i'm willing to i'm willing to get some i'm willing to believe for a second until you know you prove me wrong i think this is one of those time i don't
Starting point is 01:56:41 understand the economic nationalism behind this other than in some other plan about the dollar and about, you know, it's kind of like Smedley Butler, the most highly decorated Marine of his time, the general, you know, wrote that book, War is a Racket. He said, I didn't go into South America and invade different countries to make the world safer democracy.
Starting point is 01:57:07 I was making it safe for the United Fruit Company. So at some level it may not be about our workers here or building anything back or doing anything like that. It may be just further entrenching multinational corporations or something into the, it's some sort of leverage to, to expand, uh, you know, the American empire, unfortunately. Yeah. The, um, the thing is, like you said, we haven't heard any news about any deals that have been made. And we know that if Trump were to actually make something that he considered
Starting point is 01:57:40 good for the American people, he'd be crowing about it. He would be nonstop saying, look at what I did, you see, but all he's done is threaten these tariffs and tell these companies or countries what's going to happen one way or the other. And then it kind of fades off. You don't really hear much about, well, what's going on. Because, well, nothing good is happening for the American people. It's just Trump swaggering around and bullying them. We've got some more comments. Truck Chris. Thank you again. Appreciate that This is plaid is a third-party service that wants your bank account information so it can store it like PayPal stores your credit card info Okay, so it's a
Starting point is 01:58:16 intermediary type thing I I'm not a Bitcoin guy So I don't know anything about this or so, but appreciate the info trucker I don't have any info to give you on it. Does that make you think of anything Tony? Well, I use a couple of different processors when you want to buy Bitcoin for me But I don't recommend I recommend, you know Sending me a wire or sending me an ACH or something because you just got to pay credit credit card fees We try to bypass that make it as easy as possible. But no, I don't have Plaid. I understand like there's Squares.
Starting point is 01:58:49 Plaid's another one, but I think it has to be stored. There's certain Bitcoin exchanges that'll do that. But yeah, we have a white glove server. Like you could, we actually do it over the phone with you. It's like when you call and you might pay a little bit more, but we make it pretty affordable and I'll just send you a payment link in real time so you pay and then we just send you the transaction. I don't use plaid, but I understood what he was talking about. I think it's just the storage of personal information. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:16 And of course, privacy is very important. Don't Frag Me Bro said if we had a strong manufacturing base, the tariffs could be a positive with the weak manufacturing base We have it is punishment Yeah, if we were actually exporting things and people were actually buying them from us, it wouldn't be such a bad thing We could use it as leverage. However, we don't make anything here in America anymore. We got rid of that capability We sold it out We were a nation of importers Well, if we were serious about any of this, we would start eliminating things like the corporate income tax and personal income tax. We just do away with that. I mean,
Starting point is 01:59:52 if you really wanted to see this economy explode and if you really wanted to see a renaissance of the American spirit and entrepreneurism, just get rid of that. Get rid of that regulation, all that red tape, all those thousands and thousands of man hours you spend trying to figure out this giant, you know, Leviathan tax code. You can't do it. I mean, it's just, you have to have a team of people if you want to try to get right through that barrier, and that's why the richest people in the world, they don't pay income tax because they offshore stuff, and then they support higher taxes on people. It's why I just laugh at the left because they're always talking income tax because they offshore stuff and then they support higher taxes on people.
Starting point is 02:00:25 It's why I just laugh at the left because they're always talking about eat the rich and tax the rich. I'm like the rich fund all of your movements. They love what you're doing. And it's just lost on them. They support communism, Marxism, this is what ESG is. You realize this, they can't see it. It's like a magic trick to them and they've checked out.
Starting point is 02:00:44 But yeah, that's how you would get, you know, I'm for a tariff, but at this point, like you could do, you can do a small tariff. You could just do, okay, we're going to do a blanket tariff across the board to, you know, pay for services. And again, when we do this, it's like a thought experiment, Travis. Like no one in Washington even understands what we just said, let alone, I mean, it's just, you know, Hollywood for ugly said, let alone, I mean, it's just, you know, Hollywood for ugly people at this point, you know, it's what it is. And I mentioned briefly before, my dad covered that story years ago where the pharmacist
Starting point is 02:01:16 who deals with all the staff of the people in Washington said you would be terrified to know the types of medication these people are on, what these people have to take to maintain just any level of cognitive function. Just they're out to lunch. Some of them are so old they are practically already dead. They're just walking corpses that go in and stamp their vote on something every once in a while. And they have no clue what the needs of the American people are. It's a road to nowhere.
Starting point is 02:01:47 It's a dead space. It's rubber stamping everything. These things are already decided. It's sad, but that's the way it is at this point. There used to be debate in Congress. There used to be activism and all that. There used to be activism and all that. There used to be Ron Pauls. There's just not anymore.
Starting point is 02:02:07 No. And I'm asking, maybe you get Thomas Massey, then we get, you know, he has to be, we have to primary him. He's in your own party, but you have to primary him because he doesn't want to put the American people further and further so far into debt that they have to do a reset of the entire monetary system which is what we're going to have to do yeah the cvdc is coming they're like well we've uh... crashed the dollar we've destroyed it it's worthless so we have to change to something else
Starting point is 02:02:37 well that happened a couple of days ago too by the way they had these three different crypto bills that did not pass the house but the genius Genius Act, the Stablecoin Act, and they had the Anti-CBDC Act, and every Democrat voted against the Anti-CBDC, every Democrat. And then some Republicans dissented and said that they were going to give a thumbs up to CBDC.
Starting point is 02:03:05 So interesting that it falls along that crypto somehow became a partisan issue, which is bizarre to me. I don't understand that. But crypto, I guess now is a completely partisan issue. Bitcoin's partisan. And CBDC is fake partisan. They still didn't pass the bill for the no CBDC. Would you think that would be a no-brainer? You have a Republican controlled house.
Starting point is 02:03:32 But every Democrat, every Democrat voted against the antics, say no to no CBDC. So they said yes to CBDC. I'm just imagining that there's these, you know, old politicians in Congress and they say, crypto, what does Superman's dog have to do with anything? You know, they're just totally out to lunch. No, that's not what that means anymore. It's something else. But it's, I see that we're almost out of time.
Starting point is 02:03:58 I don't want to make sure you are you doing your show today, Tony? Where are people going to be able to watch you after this? Yes, I'll be over on rumble and the American Plug channel and my annex at Tony Arterburn will be live there and it's Arterburn radio transmission. So 12 Eastern 11 a.m. Central time, I got about an hour for parapolitics and precious medals but I got a few more minutes if you got another story. I mean, I can stay on this a little bit longer. We have a few more comments that I'd like to get your take on is what I'd
Starting point is 02:04:26 like to do which is great and of course we will be writing Tony's stream on rumble afterwards so stick around and we'll pass you right along don't frag me bro says we're experienced we are not experiencing unintended consequences we are experiencing a plan and a cycle of boom and bust for the purpose of destroying the middle class yeah as so many people have pointed out, if this was simply incompetence, if this was just stupidity, eventually they've been incompetent in our favor.
Starting point is 02:04:51 At some point they would make a mistake that benefited the American people, but it never happens. You never get the story like, oh wow, the government made a mistake and somehow all the American people got, you know, something good out of it. It's always, oopsie, sorry,
Starting point is 02:05:04 the value of your house is less, or the dollar is crashing and your tax is going up, and it's always those things. BlackRock is buying up all the houses in your community and going to turn them into low rent housing or something like that. It is continually bad for the American people. I mean, I can't think of a single thing that has happened in my lifetime that the government did that has been worthwhile or good. Oh, and that's the thing is it continues to price you out of ownership. That's the point. You know, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. My wife, my wife who Tony has actually met Tony's one of the few people who got to briefly meet her has she grew up in the Austin area and she
Starting point is 02:05:50 is we're completely priced out of ever owning a home there she like what the type of job you have to have the amount of money you have to make to buy a house there is ridiculous and it's just like it's not worth it the amount of money you have to spend for a tiny house That you know, you can't really live in is ridiculous. It's absurd just What I think the price of housing has gone up something over 200 percent since the 90s and you know You look at how much the average? Wage is increased. It's maybe been 50 to 60%, I want to say.
Starting point is 02:06:27 I'm a bit shaky on those numbers, but I'm pretty sure that's in the rough ballpark estimate. So it's just how can you afford- The metrics. Yeah. It's the metrics of things. Like you used to, and I'm, again, these are just numbers that I have free floating in my head.
Starting point is 02:06:43 So then you go look them up to verify but it's like it used to be an average house was like four or five times annual earnings maybe six and now it's just like 15 like you can't it's like the amount the amount of credit the the insanity of the pricing like this priced everybody out of these. And that's because you have two things happening at once. You have the death of a purchasing power of a currency. And then you have the decline of wages based off of the type of economy that you're in. You become a service economy in a consumption style economy. And then you used to be productive. You used to make things things and used to have a strong dollar and used to have a
Starting point is 02:07:27 bi-metallic system so your purchasing power would stay intact and you just divorce those two things and then you get BlackRock buying giant packages of mortgages like entire neighborhoods and things and outbidding regular people and there's some affordable housing I say affordable, there is still housing that's gonna be you know that's still in the price range for normal people but they're in smaller towns yeah they're you know on the outskirts of metropolitan areas and stuff and I used to be in real estate I wouldn't want to do real estate anymore I mean I'm I like
Starting point is 02:08:00 what I do as far as precious metals and and staying in things like bitcoin to uh... uh... that's real estate to me that's what i'm acquiring i'm looking to see you know what one of the the wealthiest people you know what are they what are they buying right now what are they doing and they're buying gold
Starting point is 02:08:19 and uh... a lot of them even some of the big companies the multinationals they're also putting big one of the balance sheet They're putting things in an age of fiat where it's infinite. It's infinite versus finite and especially in this singularity whatever is happening because we are in this great reset decade which we're halfway through. There is so much happening that the mathematics and everything everything all this is coming to a head where I'm you're gonna see a real change in the global monetary system Travis I mean
Starting point is 02:08:52 in the prices of commodities are going to continue to surprise you they surprise me I didn't know we'd be you know this far along on silver I think as we progress and talk this year I think we're gonna see some big things happening in the metals market still. Even with Bitcoin and what's going on with it, there's still just so much more to happen. Yeah, as you said many times before,
Starting point is 02:09:16 the rise of gold, since gold is a store of value, it's not that necessarily gold is going up, it's that the dollar is crashing. So, since there's no bottom for the US dollar, there's no top for gold, you know. So however far it goes down, the gold goes up, which seems like the US dollar is due for a massive fall. We've got some more comments. Defy Tyrant 1776. Doesn't US kill any leader who wants to move away from the dollar? LOL. That certainly seems to have been their Modus operandi in past times
Starting point is 02:09:49 If you didn't want to play ball, they would simply foment a color revolution. They'd send the CIA in and get you overthrown We'll just drop some democracy on you. You know, what's the latest from Gaddafi? Yeah, and there's these Middle Eastern dictators who wanted to what's the latest from qaddafi yeah and there's these middle eastern dictators who wanted to you know maybe have their own regional trading currency or show that they were in charge I know actually you're not in charge you know this happened to you know that Saddam Hussein got permission to invade Kuwait until he didn't and we had to go in there and and start with Saddam and we had remember it was the George HW
Starting point is 02:10:25 That was his moment, you know, this aggression will not stand To go in and and take out the guy that they supported in the first place. It's always amazing to me that People Didn't it seemed to me people didn't like George HW Bush and then they voted for his son It's just how does this keep happening? How have we gotten political dynasties? We moved away from the kings and queens to get away from this exact kind of thing where these permanent power structures are in place. Why do we keep these same families in
Starting point is 02:10:58 power? You know, I personally wouldn't be too far removed from a law that says alright you can only have one member of your family in power and it has to skip a generation You know, you've got one in this generation. The next one can't serve It's got to go down the line just something to keep these rich families from continually Staffing the halls of Congress and the Senate even the presidency. I Used to think that it was a good thing that Trump defeated Jeb exclamation point. But I'm starting to laugh. Please clap.
Starting point is 02:11:31 Yeah, he spent $150 million on that campaign. And that was supposed to, it was, I remember a Politico article, I'll never forget it was the author said, Hey, it's going to be Hillary and Jeb. Just quit thinking there's going to be any different. I'm like, I don't know the mood of the country uh... the mood of the country was different that time frame and it's it's different out of state that the the trauma that we've
Starting point is 02:11:52 triple book that the ultimate grift that uh... has just taken place over the last uh... ten years has been at just absolutely insane and uh... that that's where you know we're long since those times of, we don't even talk about fiscal responsibility or anything. I think it's, writing's on the wall, if you want to use that biblical term. It reminds me of that old- That's where my focus is.
Starting point is 02:12:15 It reminds me of that old saying, you know, grift me once, shame on you. You know, grift me twice, can't get fooled again. Grifted again. That's a great clip. I always love that clip. Just he has no clue what he's saying just just completely long again. Defy tyrant 1776 all Trump's merchandise is made in China wonder what excuse Trump supporters would come up for that yeah just who who cares he knows he can lie straight to their face say whatever he he wants. We're gonna make the clothes in China. We're gonna do what we want. He doesn't care. They don't care. The Patriots are in charge and you just gotta trust the plan. Yeah, Patriots in control.
Starting point is 02:12:57 Angry Tigers Den says, the genius bill is set to pass. Fed-regulated stablecoins are the beard for CBDC. That's they want the CBDC so badly. Being able to track and trace every one of your purchases, every single thing you do, being able to switch off your entire bank account, every last you know at least with the American dollar you can store cash, you can take it out. Once they get to the CBDC there's no you can't do that. It's all resident in the cloud. They can simply make it evaporate You have no ability to purchase anything anywhere
Starting point is 02:13:29 Sorry, your bank accounts shut off and therefore we know you're not gonna be able to pay back your credit cards Those are shut off too. There's not gonna be a way around it No, and they'll need a crisis to precipitate that. So be careful. That's what we're looking for is that the whole economic crisis issue with the dollar, and that may be what we're being primed for. Because there's no rhyme or reason economically for what we're doing unless you want it to favor a few and crash the system. Control demolition. They never want to do that.
Starting point is 02:14:03 That doesn't sound like the government I know and fear. Soylent Goy says, what's the difference between monopolistic capitalism and communism? Well, monopolistic communism, they seem to start shooting people a lot quicker. They start dragging people out of their homes and lining them up and filling ditches with corpses faster than it does in capitalism. Capitalism, they like to keep you around so you can buy their poison products for a bit longer. You know, they got to milk you for more dough. Well, the interesting part about both of those dystopias is they're funded by the same people. Either way, they're happy. If it's monopolistic, you know, it's like, I win either way.
Starting point is 02:14:42 I don't care if you guys are in gulags or in our you know, cyberdyne systems, you know internment camp who cares I'm gonna be the world's richest man either way All right, Tony, all right, I see we were over time again, I apologize this always happens You're a lot of fun.

But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show dot com.
Starting point is 02:19:32 You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. That's right folks, you can go to DavidN Knight dot news and get yourself a nice hoodie You don't want to lens kitty to have a nicer hoodie than you do. So go ahead and get one This is from the Babylon B. Oh, actually before that we've got comments. I missed from before Tony nights of the storm That's why they do it. That's what they do in Cuba
Starting point is 02:20:19 It's fascinating how they've been able to keep these old cars running with ingenuity Yeah I've seen pictures and videos from Cuba where they have all these beautiful cars from the 50s and 60s still running and just Really makes you almost envious When we're living here with all the ugly cars we have now, of course the reason for that is they were kind of forced Yeah, I'm not envious of their situation just envious of their aesthetics when it comes to cars. Knights of the Storm, we should be grateful the 15 minute Freedom City will remove that burden of owning personal transport. Isn't that lovely?
Starting point is 02:20:56 You won't have to worry about owning a car or maintaining it, changing its oil or tires. The government's so thoughtful, they're just gonna strip all of that nonsense from you. They know you don't want to have to worry about that. Alien poop evolution. Then God sends a solar flare and their AI farmers shut down and they starve. That's why you need to be able to, you need to be able to feed yourself in serious situations. If the grid goes down or if a disaster happens you want to be able to feed yourself whether that's having a storable food supply of some kind or Raising chickens or growing your own vegetables and fruit Whatever you can do you need to be able to do that. We saw a lot of problems with agriculture when these major, not quite
Starting point is 02:21:47 factory farms, but the more modern version of agriculture first started and we had the Dust Bowl and a lot of things as people were still figuring it out. In the future we're going to have these AI robot farms that aren't just going to have to worry about soil diseases but also computer viruses affecting crop yields. I'm sorry the farm is down today the AI waifu that runs the farm was infected by a Chinese virus. They make the systems more and more fragile. Raddus bro and like I said for why do they want amnesty for illegal farm workers when robots do the job? Well, until the robots are up and running, they want to make sure they have their cheap labor. They can't... they don't want to have to pay Americans to do the job, even for just a few months or years
Starting point is 02:22:35 while they get the fully autonomous farm up and running. That's... Every single industry wants to scam the American people somehow, isn't it? It's just great the times we live in, the people who are in power and who make the rules. As I said this from the Babylon beat, man who vowed to release Epstein files berates idiots for believing there are Epstein files. That's right, you were a dummy for thinking they were real despite the fact that I campaigned on releasing them. What kind of fool are you? Fool me, it won't get fooled again. After
Starting point is 02:23:15 vowing during his campaign to release the Epstein files, President Trump berated supporters as stupid and foolish for thinking there are Epstein files. Just a few months ago Trump invited several conservative influencers to the White House to receive binders for what was supposed to be phase one of releasing the Epstein files, which Trump said only total idiots believe exists. It's all a hoax and anyone who believed me about it is a total chucklehead, said Trump to reporters in the Oval Office. I said when I invited those morons to get the little binders I said look how stupid
Starting point is 02:23:43 they are thinking there are Epstein files and these binders labeled Epstein files. And when we said that we had the list on the attorney general's desk, that people believed us how stupid could they be? It really dunces. My supporters, I'll tell you what. Yeah, we might tend to agree that his supporters are kind of dunces. Some of us here on the show might feel that exact same way. At publishing time, Trump had announced that the DOJ
Starting point is 02:24:10 had concluded its investigation, and reported that no one named Jeffrey Epstein has ever existed. That's right, and in fact, in fact, let's take a look at this clip right here. Could you please state your full name? I'm Jeffrey Edward Epstein, and my residence address is 6100 Red Hook Boulevard
Starting point is 02:24:31 in Virgin Islands. Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Yes. What was the crime of which you were convicted? Two counts, one soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. Do you in fact commit those acts? I'm going to revoke my fifth amendment right. How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution?
Starting point is 02:25:01 Same answer. How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution in the state of Florida? Same answer. How many times have you solicited a minor for prostitution in the state of Florida? Same answer. Have you ever solicited a minor for prostitution in the Virgin Islands? Same answer. That is, you are invoking your fifth amendment? Yes, sir. Yes, Mrs. Scrooge.
Starting point is 02:25:18 Have you ever solicited for prostitution in New York? Same answer. Oh, look who it is. Look, it's Donald Trump with his best buddy, Jeffrey. Have you ever solicited for prostitution in Paris? Same answer. Have you ever solicited a minor for prostitution anywhere at any time? Again, I'm gonna assert my right.
Starting point is 02:25:38 Did you ever? We're gonna go off the right. So you are terminating the deposition at this time? Why do you think British reporters in particular have been so interested in the Epstein story and so upset about how it's been handled? I don't understand it. Why they would be so interested and I don't understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people including fake news want to keep something like that going. That's right. Only pretty bad people would want to keep that story going. Any...
Starting point is 02:26:10 Anyone who is interested in this is just fake news, a bad person. Why on earth would you want to continue this story about Jeffrey Epstein? Sweep it away. Hand wave it. Nah. We don't want to... You don't want to learn about that. I know I campaigned. I don't know I promised it I know I've been doing this song and dance about Releasing the files, but hey that showbiz, baby
Starting point is 02:26:39 Nothing nothing to see here move along sorry Nothing to see here, move along. Sorry. Bombshell. Trump goes scorched earth on Jeffrey Epstein. Hoax and disowns past supporters who bought into this. BS. That's right. You were a sucker for buying it.
Starting point is 02:26:57 How could you? Of course, you know, the grifter media used it as part of a way to sell you on Donald Trump once again Look look he's gonna release the Epstein files. He's gonna show us who's really in charge He's gonna dismantle the deep state and reveal the powers that be did that end up happening Surprise surprise it didn't just like it didn't in his first term Just like he didn't do anything of any lasting value. I see some people on Twitter saying, wow, look, the guy who runs this part of the government is posting memes. He's posting like these other guys that are cool and
Starting point is 02:27:38 fun and based. You think this is going bad? You're... they're posting like this and you're blackpilling? Allow me to be clear. A department head posting memes on Twitter does not equal a revolution. Doesn't equal a change in government. It just means you're easy to appease and grift. Yeah, until I see some real change, I don't care what kind of funny little memes the guy posts to Twitter. Doesn't matter. Sick of these people. President Donald Trump posted a scathing message, cutting ties with all of his supporters who
Starting point is 02:28:18 were questioning his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, blaming the radical left Democrats instead of reading the room and understanding the American people Want the intelligence agency pedophile blackmail network exposed and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice Of course Drudge called it a divorce. He's divorcing the American people and Perhaps the Trump supporters are getting a taste of how Trump acted with his ex-wives. You guys are idiots, you're fools, buffoons, only bad people, fake news. You're exactly the type of people I've spent all this time excoriating, despite the fact you voted for me.
Starting point is 02:28:58 And I'm the one breaking my promises. Magga is getting a taste of what it's like to be his scorned ex-wives. Also unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new scam is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein hoax and my past supporters have bought into this BS hook, line, and sinker, he added. Past supporters, that's right. If you're not going to move past Jeffrey's right. If you're not gonna move past Jeffrey Epstein, if you're not gonna give him a free pass, you're in the past
Starting point is 02:29:29 buddy. I don't want you anymore. And of course this is because he's in his second term. He got elected. He did it again. He can't keep getting away with it. I mean he literally can't because he's not going to be able to run for a third term. This is his final one. He doesn't have to pretend anymore. He's free to just go, yeah, you guys are not my supporters anymore. Cut you out of the base. I want to reinforce my echo chamber.
Starting point is 02:29:54 You guys can go do whatever you want. I've already got what I needed from you anyway. The president went on to say his past supporters were tricked by the left, and called the Epstein debacle a hoax. Tricked by the left, but it's more like they were tricked by QAnon nonsense. Forced fed all these continual lines. That's right. My past supporters that voted for me to get into the office based on these lies were tricked.
Starting point is 02:30:24 By the left, of of course not by me no no It couldn't be Donald Trump and his group his ilk the lead tricked you into voting for me because of these Epstein files Exactly that's how it happened. I can I can remember it. I can remember Rosie O'Donnell and whoever else Out there you got to vote for Donald Trump because of the Epstein files, knowing that this would happen. Are we gonna want the Epstein files and Trump's not gonna have the files and that's what's gonna break his supporter base. It was truly a diabolical move on their part.
Starting point is 02:30:56 How ingenious. The art of war. Sun Tzu, all that. Destroy your enemy from within. How could we have been so blind? We fell for it again. Curses! He just says so much nonsense, so much. Just, he lies effortlessly. Just constantly. They haven't learned their lesson and probably never will. Even after being conned by the lunatic left for eight long years.
Starting point is 02:31:24 I've had more success in six months than perhaps any president in our country's history. What success? Point it out. Show me. You were supposed to end the war in Ukraine. You were supposed to end the war in Gaza. But instead, you're shipping more munitions to Ukraine, more to Israel, and you let them go after Iran and then bombed them yourself.
Starting point is 02:31:44 Where's the success Donald show me point it to me can you show it to me on a map number one is supporters were saying that he was going to end the income tax because turns out no it was just increasing the deficit now thanks all these he's gonna end the income tax. how gullible are you? fell for it again. you fell for it again. i wish i still had that in the deck. thanks, trump supporters. we really do appreciate all you've done for the country. continuing to bash millions of people who voted for him. potus said let these weaklings continue forward and do the democrats work. don't even think about talking about our incredible and unprecedented success
Starting point is 02:32:25 because I don't want their support anymore. That's right. He's taking his presidency and he's going home. I don't even want to hang out with you guys anymore. You guys aren't cool. Ugh. Friendship is over. Do you think, do you think they're starting to learn? Think they might be catching on? On Tuesday, President Trump bizarrely claimed only bad people and fake news care about the deceased pedophile's child sex trafficking ring.
Starting point is 02:32:53 That's right, you're bad people and fake news if you care about who the pedophile was supplying children to. Only weirdos care about that. Drugger Chris for the win. I'm a big fan of Mecha Hitler. Huge fan. We need to put that AI in charge of military actions. We're gonna put Mecha Hitler in the Pentagon. He's done some great work, some great work. He's one of the best I've been told. One of the best. Infowars founder and host Alex Jones delivered a pair of urgent messages to Trump on Tuesday explaining why the public is so
Starting point is 02:33:23 concerned about the Epstein saga, and warning the President his legacy and great work in the White House could be overshadowed. That's right. His legacy and great work. His great work of rolling out the warp speed sugar water vaccinations, of course. That's his great work. What did he accomplish? What did he do besides get people locked up at January 6th?
Starting point is 02:33:44 That was the most lasting impact he had on most patriots' lives, right? Everything else shifted, vanished, vaporized the second he left office, if there was anything to start with. What legacy, other than poisoning millions of people, is there? Great work in the White House. Sikofantantic till the end. Great work in the White House. Great work in the White House, Mr. Trump, but this will overshadow your legacy. Alex Cullen. Truly an oracle. Oracle. Huge nightmare development. Trump doubles down on Epstein cover after saying he supported a new DOJ investigation
Starting point is 02:34:28 earlier today. Why is 47 making the worst moves of his tenure in the last nine years? Wonder why. What a sh- oh no. Could it be I've been taken advantage of? No, you knew what he was when you took him across the river. Trump's Wednesday true social will only doesn't need MAGA anymore. He doesn't need you people that got him elected. He doesn't have to worry about it.
Starting point is 02:35:14 He's gonna take his legacy quote-unquote and go home. He got what he wanted. He doesn't need to pretend or pander anymore. He doesn't need to pretend or pander anymore Trump flails his Epstein storm rages around his government This is from CNN nights of the storm again the elephant the room is that if there are no files What was Ghislaine prosecuted on exactly? How did you lock this woman up? You didn't have any evidence of anything then how did you prosecute her? How did you get a conviction? any evidence of anything, then how did you prosecute her? How did you get a conviction?
Starting point is 02:35:51 Don't pay any attention to that. Defy tyrant 1776. Trump just called his supporters stupid people. I wonder if they're waking up now. I think they're going to prove him right. I worry you may be correct, defy tyrants. I worry that this is some kind of Stockholm syndrome, some kind of battered wife. You know, he comes home drunk and starts abusing the base and they're just like, oh I probably deserved it. Maybe I am a bad person. Maybe I am fake news for caring about it. I really hope not. I really hope it isn't like that. I really hope it does start to wake people up and make them realize he was never on their side. Trump flails his Epstein storm, rages around his government by Stephen Collinson on CNN. Donald Trump rarely loses control of his own story, but the Jeffrey Epstein saga is beyond
Starting point is 02:36:31 his powers to quell. For once he's becoming the victim of an out of control conspiracy. Yeah, of course CNN refers to it as a conspiracy. Not the initiator of one. He looks like the insider covering up not the ultimate outsider in Deep State Destroy. That's because he is. He doesn't just appear to be it. He is that thing. If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. I think we have a duck on our hands.
Starting point is 02:37:01 If anyone ought to know that the government can't issue statements of reassurance and make conspiracy theories disappear, it's Trump. He's spun some of the most notorious fake intrigues in the history of American politics. The racist fantasy about President Barack Obama's birthplace to the democracy-crowding tale that he won the 2020 election, which helped vault him back to power in 2024. Again, it's not racist to point out there's a lot of questionable elements regarding Barack Obama's birthplace. His birth certificate being some kind of obvious forgery or something is not racist. The funny thing is it's much the same reason that people doubt the Epstein tape. It's got some metadata from Adobe.
Starting point is 02:37:47 One was from Photoshop, the other was from Premiere. Adobe. Maybe Adobe are the good guys. Maybe they're trying to leave us breadcrumbs. If you know where to look, you can find the Adobe signature leading the way home. That's right. And of course the democracy-corroding tale that he won the 2020 election. I'm gonna be perfectly honest and say I do think he probably actually did win the 2020 election. In my personal opinion I do think it was stolen from him. Not that I think he would have been a better president at that time. Not that I think people should have voted for him. But I think the idea that Joe Biden won
Starting point is 02:38:25 fair and square or Kamala Harris. Well he was the one that initiated the mail-out election. He created the circumstances that allowed them to steal it. The perfect circumstances for mass voter fraud and then act surprised. How could this have happened? What a shocking turn of events. Personally, again, as I said, I think it was stolen, but he's an idiot that allowed it to happen. Not that I think it would have been a better time under Donald Trump than Joe Biden. Trump's mastery of the conspiratorial didn't help attempt to squelch the Epstein drama. The Justice Department last week issued a memo insisting that
Starting point is 02:39:06 there was no evidence that disgraced financier and convicted sex offender kept a client list that he was murdered in prison but as the president could have told Bonnie telling people there is no there is no there there only lights the fire of conspiracy you know you, I'll give them this, that when if someone were to say there's a conspiracy going on, if you were to go to those people and say are you guys conspiring, they would say no even if there is. You know, denial of conspiracy doesn't prove one thing or the other. Because if they are conspiring, they'll say no, but if they aren't conspiring,
Starting point is 02:39:43 they'll say no. However, they aren't conspiring, they'll say no. However, when the government routinely behaves in this fashion, is routinely shady and shifty, when Epstein continually lives a charmed life and people are told not to prosecute him because of intelligence, when he is seen with all these high-profile, powerful people, I think it's a little bit ridiculous of CNN to say, you know, it only lights the fire of conspiracy. No, I think what lights the fire of conspiracy is Epstein's entire existence and the people he surrounded himself with.
Starting point is 02:40:15 In fact, that politicians continually took the Lolita Express. I think that's what lit the fire of conspiracy. Journalists will always try to cover for everything. They dislike Trump. Not because he's, you know, going against the Constitution or destroying America, but because he doesn't kowtow and follow the exact type of leftism that they want.
Starting point is 02:40:44 They dislike him because he's rude and says mean things because he's not their exact brand of tyranny. That's why they dislike him. And you can always tell these people. That left the president in a spot, in a worse spot, Monday as CNN reported he was increasingly frustrated about a controversy that has now gone on for almost a week and is overshadowing what the White House sees as a growing list of wins at home and abroad. One big question is whether Trump risks damage in his own political coalition if he can't quiet the furor, furor. Gotta quiet the furrer.
Starting point is 02:41:25 Yeah, Mecca Hitler. Keep it down. Over the Justice Department's Epstein memo, Trump has, for a decade, been the most dynamic right-wing figure in the country. He's built a brand by tearing things down and crushing Washington rules. But even he can't end a MAGA media revolt. Perhaps he's entering a rocky period with a force that has long sustained him. Again, it doesn't matter. This is his second term. He's not running again. If he never gets support back from his base, it won't matter to him at all. He'll go back to reality TV or whatever he
Starting point is 02:41:58 wants to do. He had his time in the sun to do as he pleased. He suckered him. He conned him. had his time in the sun to do as he pleased. He suckered him. He conned him. GOP is not a... no. GOP is not a political party. It's a fan club for one man, my dad said. It's a fan club for Donald Trump, but for how much longer? Sir knighted digital IDs will come before CVDCs well, they're working on that they're working towards all of this Travis, please look into genius act It will say if people don't follow backs minute their accounts will be frozen this being hidden as we are all purposely distracted by Epstein
Starting point is 02:42:47 We'll have to look into that. Yeah That's the type of thing they desperately want to move towards if you aren't vaccinated then you're Sorry, not a good citizen. We can't have you Interacting with the general public that would be dangerous so we're gonna freeze your accounts make sure that the only place your self-driving car goes is to the clinic it'll be able to scan you and see if you've accepted the vaccine and if you don't it's only going to lock you down don't frag me bro Epstein was not operating without the knowledge and cooperation of the CIA. The CIA are the ones that told Acosta to back off. Yeah, it definitely seems like at minimum Epstein was working for the CIA and Mossad. They are in this together, joined at the hip and
Starting point is 02:43:40 doing each other's bidding. Back off. He's our guy. Don't ask any more questions Acosta. You might end up accosting your life. I'm sorry that was terrible. Donald Trump has a very significant hold on the Republican Party. I think anybody that thinks that this is the end of Donald Trump's hold on the GOP is wrong. Kristen Soltis Anderson, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor, told Casey Hunt on the arena. On Monday, Anderson added that this flap could be more problematic for Trump than the ideological
Starting point is 02:44:15 battles he's forced on the GOP because it involves the issue of trust with his supporters and his outsider status. But in next year's midterm elections, when Trump won't be on the ballot, any falloff and enthusiasm among grassroots Republicans could have an impact. That's right. You might see some severely disillusioned MAGA people having no interest at all in showing up to vote. This could cost the Republicans big
Starting point is 02:44:45 in the midterm elections, which I mean, as I've said, who cares if you're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, you're arguing about whether you want people dressed in red or blue there. There's not any real difference between the Republicans or Democrats
Starting point is 02:45:04 on any of these issues. And as such, who really cares who's in charge? Trump has returned to the issue embedded in the DNA of the MAGA movement, hardline positions on immigration to bring the gang back. Except for the fact that he's considering amnesty. He's gone back on everything. Everything he's talked about. We're gonna be hardline on immigration. No, sorry, maybe amnesty for people like me and my buddies
Starting point is 02:45:33 for the farmers because they spent a lot of money lobbying. Trump repeats claim Epstein files are made up democratic hoax. That's right. We played that video for you. It's just a Democrat hoax. I think people are being fooled, taken advantage of. He is desperate to move past this. He is absolutely desperate to get beyond this. Prove that he still has control. Pay no attention to the pedophile behind the curtain.
Starting point is 02:46:08 Just ignore it. This is from the New American by Paul Dragu. MAGA backlash against Trump over Epstein is not going away. As much as the president wants the MAGA faithful to stop demanding transparency over the Jeffrey Epstein saga, there seems to be no let up. One week after the Department of Justice, DOJ released a memo many find simply unbelievable. The MAGA backlash continues with some major influencers who campaign for Trump turning on the president.
Starting point is 02:46:39 He has, again, he's fractured his base. People are freaking out. How could this happen? Because he was never your guy, he was never going to do it, and he doesn't have to care anymore. He has gotten what he wanted. There's nothing you can do about it either. What are you gonna do, impeach him? Good luck. They tried that. He's inoculated against all criticism. Megyn Kelly says she won't be CNN of Trump 2.0 and Epstein Chaos calls on reporters to dig to the truth. Sirius XM's Megyn Kelly said Tuesday on her podcast that she refuses to be the CNN of
Starting point is 02:47:17 Trump 2.0 on the Epstein Files. I think that journalists have an obligation to not just trust politicians over it. Is Megyn Kelly finally an honest journalist? I've never understood why people watched Megyn Kelly. She's never had anything interesting to say, never had any insightful things worth listening to. I guess if you were into, you know, that specific type of blonde woman that Fox News always hired If you found her attractive that was it, but other than that she was always Grading and obnoxious to me when people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly start talking about this You know, it's gone mainstream. Yeah, it's they can't avoid it anymore they
Starting point is 02:48:05 have to get out in front of it I'll state for the record I have lots of friends inside the administration I have nothing but respect and man admiration for this president sycophant suck up I have nothing but respect for this plea but uh you know please don't disown me, my viewer base. She's caught between a rock and a hard place. She wants to maintain access to the administration. But also knows that the people who watch her really want the truth about Epstein. And do not believe what the government has put out. It's got to be a difficult time to be a grifter.
Starting point is 02:48:49 How do I play both sides? you have an obligation not to just trust Kelly added. you kick the tires that's your job. you approach all stories and everything fed to you by an administration official. like them, love them, respect them, trust them or not with a hefty dose of skepticism. Yeah, and do the same thing with people like Megyn Kelly. All these grifters, all these MAGA influencers, be sure to approach them with skepticism as well. New forensic analysis reveals Epstein-Prism-Dio had nearly three minutes cut out, not just one minute at midnight like originally reported. According to analysis conducted by two different forensic experts working with Wired, at least
Starting point is 02:49:32 three minutes were cut from the raw Epstein prison video posted to the DOJ website last week. So, dealing with is two separate files, three missing minutes, four, what looks like four edit points. And who knows how many lies. This is beginning to sound like a Christmas song. Two miss two files three missing minutes. It goes on and on.
Starting point is 02:50:02 The ridiculousness of the story. Metadata from the raw Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds removed from the one of two stitched together. The cut starts right at the missing minute, Wired reported. Wired reviewed its findings with two independent video forensics experts who confirmed that the edit occurred just before the missing minute mark and that approximately three minutes of footage were cut from the original clip, the outlet reported. Now of course one minute would have been bad enough. That's still enough time probably to do what they wanted to to get in there and silence Epstein or get him out and replace him. But with three minutes, three minutes is quite a long time
Starting point is 02:50:48 to pull someone in or out, to obfuscate. It just, it's not going well for the DOJ, is it? Remember when they said it was taking so long because they didn't want to release anything that had four missing seconds. Uh-huh. Thanks, Cash Patel. Thanks, Dan Bond. You know, very cool. How very interesting. This is from the Daily Caller. Thomas Massey says he will force the vote on releasing the Epstein files. Well, that's... that'd be nice. But again, Thomas Massey is a man alone.
Starting point is 02:51:24 Thomas Massey introduced a discharge petition Tuesday to force a vote in the House on the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Massey joined Democrat California Rep Ro Khanna in submitting a resolution known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act to bring the resolution to a vote. Massey's discharge petition needs a simple majority, 218 members to move forward. We all deserve to know what's in the Epstein files, who's implicated, and how deep this corruption goes. Americans were promised justice and transparency when introducing a discharge petition to force
Starting point is 02:51:56 a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on releasing the complete files Massey wrote on X. We'll see. I don't think that many people in government are going to go, yeah, we should release those files. Can't wait to see my name on them, says your favorite politician. The bipartisan resolution calls for all documents related to Epstein to be released no later than 20 days after the date of enactment.
Starting point is 02:52:24 The resolution says, no record shall be withheld, delayed, or than 20 days after the date of enactment. The resolution says, no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of any of the following embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." And again, that would be nice. I appreciate that he's putting this forward, but there's not a chance that this ever passes. Not a chance that this will make it. Gisling ready to testify as Trump triples down, slams weakling past supporters who believe Epstein hoax. Maxwell is ready to spill the beans. According to the Daily Mail, despite the
Starting point is 02:53:00 rumors Gisling was never offered any kind of plea deal, she would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story, adding no one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein, and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth. I'm sure she would love it. Oh yes, I doubt Gis Lane would actually say anything. Like, oh no, there was no clients.
Starting point is 02:53:26 We didn't do anything. Maxwell argued she had been protected from prosecution as part of the non-prosecution agreement made by Epstein. Of course, that's the sweetheart deal he got from Acosta back in the day when people came in and said, he's an intelligence asset, leave him alone. In 2007, when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor charges of prostitution and a sweetheart deal which I'm spend a little time behind bars. Giseline Maxwell is willing to testify how Congress handles it will speak volumes. The Epstein scandal isn't just another controversy it's a litmus test
Starting point is 02:53:57 whether truth still has a place in American politics. It's also an IQ test for MAGA. How much are you willing to take? How much are you willing to swallow? You really still buying all this? You can't be. You've got... The question for me is, is Ghislaine Maxwell saying that she's going to name names and show evidence of a list of some kind, or is she afraid? She says she wasn't given any kind of plea deal, and officially she wasn't, but she did get a pretty sweetheart deal for what her crimes are. I would imagine she'd be pretty concerned about making public any of this stuff given the kinds of people that are involved with it. Yeah, if I had to guess, I'd say that her lawyer probably is pretty good at his job.
Starting point is 02:54:53 And now that they're saying there is no list, there is no evidence, we don't have anything, saying, yeah, you need to get in front of people and testify again and say, yeah, you know, there is nothing. I don't know why you guys ever thought there was. Produce the evidence against me and get some kind of... some kind of retrial or something. I'm not an expert on the way the court system works. But I imagine that this has been a boon for her case as well. Oh, Jeffrey Epstein.
Starting point is 02:55:25 Truly the specter that continues to haunt the American political scene. At this point, it's just safest to assume that every politician has some kind of skeleton in their closet that's tied to him. Dershowitz on Epstein. No client list, but jailers may have assisted suicide. Of course, this is the same guy that said, he had seen the list, and he knows who's on it. Can't keep his story straight.
Starting point is 02:55:57 Dershowitz, who once represented Jeffrey Epstein, says that a disgraced late billionaire did not maintain a client list or work for foreign intelligence, but may have had help killing himself They just gave him a little assistance. You know just here you go Alright we're gonna take a real quick break when you come back I've got we're gonna take a look at the LGBT insanity what? mental illness this has led to LGBT insanity what
Starting point is 02:56:24 Mental illness this has led to Probably won't stay on it for too long if the audience can't stand it. It's hard to watch but This is what this is all led to so stay with us folks. We will be right back back. I'm sorry. You're listening to the David Knight show. Welcome back folks. As I said, we're going to take a look at this video. It's a case study in LGBT trans mental illness. And I want to preface this by saying don't as we're on these platforms
Starting point is 02:58:06 don't go and harass this person don't go looking for them don't go try to interact with them it's not worth it but it is worth looking at and understanding this is what all this has led to I'm also gonna preface it by saying I have cut down this video so much it's about 40 minutes 36 something. I've only kept in about two and a half of it and that's just from the very beginning. this guy loves waffling on. con think. thank you for the support. until you put that tie on you're not going to look professional. darn it. I'll never be a real grifter if I can't put on the tie. That's what I've got to do. Thank you, ConThink. I appreciate it. So
Starting point is 02:58:52 this is someone... this is a guy who's... says he's a girl. Goes by lead head on YouTube. Let's take a brief look. Get a hip play. Give me if I said that my fiance and I had a 19 and a 20 year old pair of kids. Hmm. Well, it's complicated. Seeing as I'm only 26, found family has been a pretty prevalent theme in my videos. Found family. It takes the form of a friend group who you love as if they Were a family and so whatever happens to a found family member
Starting point is 02:59:29 However, they grow and change found families are supposed to stick together and support each other no matter what and the same way that They wish their biological families have been capable of okay. Go ahead and pause it. That's how sacred Lee I viewed That's how sacredly this guy views found family apparently this guy He loves the sound of his own voice He waffles on over and over again. He repeats himself many times and I want you to note how performative this entire thing is how Ridiculous it is the way he's sitting. Oh, look, this is how a girl would sit, right? With my legs
Starting point is 03:00:06 crossed and like that. Oh and the huge sigh. That's how a girl talks, right? This is a picture of mental illness. Talking about how they've got two kids. Well, you know, not real kids. They're 19 and 20. But you know, how can this happen? I'm only 26. Well, anything is possible when you get rid of the definition of words, when you change what they mean, and you don't subscribe to any real definition of truth. Let's keep going with this. I know it's hard to watch, believe me. I had to watch it multiple times So I have suffered through this quite a few times, but I think it's worth seeing what? the LGBT ideology leads to what happens What this actually leads to this isn't
Starting point is 03:00:59 This person has three hundred and forty three thousand This person has 343,000 subscribers on YouTube. And there are much, much larger channels there on YouTube. There are people with hundreds of millions of subscribers. But 343,000 people that can stand this, that at least somewhat agree with this. If you look at the like to dislike ratio, again, you can't effectively actually see it really they removed the ability to see dislikes But there's a way you can kind of get an estimate of it
Starting point is 03:01:31 it is that nearly 2000 likes and 100-and-something 190 something dislikes So there's a substantial portion of people who think this is correct. This is good. Trucker Chris for the win says mental hospital can't think barf little Johnny boy. Yes barf. Yes This is sickness. This is mental illness. This is truly sad to see and again pray for these people.
Starting point is 03:02:05 They need Jesus. I know it's easy to go on and talk about them and come off as just hateful and dismissive, but they do need Jesus. So let's go ahead and hit play on this again because it only gets worse. Hit play on this again, because it only gets worse. The found family dynamic. One day my fiance and I, along with the two youngest in the household, were going to the grocery store to pick up a meal for dinner. My girl and I were both in a pretty bad mood, but these two were just running around all full of energy, grabbing all the snacks and candy that they could carry.
Starting point is 03:02:45 Look how infantilizing this person is when they describe them. And had to look all around the grocery store to find us again. Once they finally did, the youngest, this 19 year old boy. This youngest. Mom and mom.
Starting point is 03:02:57 As the weeks went on, our boy was calling us mom and mom more. Our boy. It got to the point where he felt like he was being disrespectful when he called us by our actual names. And now it's weird when I do hear him say them. Teaching him all sorts of life lessons about being trans, as he'd only transitioned about a month prior to all this.
Starting point is 03:03:12 Pause it. Even going into some sexual education stuff when Nez is- That's right. I told you it only gets worse. This isn't an actual guy. This is a woman who's 19 who thinks they're her man. This is a house of horrors. This is insanity all over the place and you'll hear this person go on to talk about, we'll leave it there. I don't want to torment you too much. I'll
Starting point is 03:03:38 just give you a little bit of a rundown of what you could have expected. This person goes on to detail how, oh, yes, they were homeschooled and they didn't get much of a sexual education. You know, they only recently transitioned one month before I met them, so this girl, now a guy, now claims to be a guy, needs all the help they can get. How I can inform them and teach them and explain things to them. And yes, I really feel like this girl's mother. It's horrifying. This is what this has led to. It's only going to become more common.
Starting point is 03:04:26 Defy time at 7076. Thanks for playing this clip, Travis. It will keep me on my diet. You're welcome. I'm here to help. It's important to sometimes actually look at the real face of this stuff. This is what it leads to. This guy pretending to be a woman with his bangs,
Starting point is 03:04:42 probably to hide his receding hairline. Talking about how this 19 year old girl who now wants to be a guy calls him and his girl. I don't know if they're trans too. Mom and mom. And how you would hear her hear him say. I had, you know, originally thought maybe we'd be friends with benefits. Maybe there would be some sexual dynamic there. But that went away when he started calling me mom. She started calling me mom.
Starting point is 03:05:15 This person, there is no part of this story that isn't sick and twisted and gross. Talking about how, oh yeah, I've just been mentoring her, teaching her how to be trans. How this all goes. Isn't it wonderful I can use my experience to help her transition to a guy. And he's really my boy. She's really my boy because I taught her how to fix a flat tire or change the oil in her car Or let her sleep in bed with me when he get she gets too nervous This is a 19 year old every time He talks about her. It's infantilizing and gross This person has all kinds of issues.
Starting point is 03:06:06 This is what this wishy-washy insanity leads to. This there is no real truth. Words have no meaning. Motherhood is a construct. Women are a construct. If you say you're a woman, you're a woman and it has no real special meaning. It's a ca- it's a costume you can put on. It's something you can just find yourself and found family. You know, and sure, maybe one minute this trans girl wanting to be a guy is someone you want to sleep with. The next minute you're their mom. What does it matter? Appreciate you bearing with me for this. Again, don't go bully people, don't go yell at them or scream at them in comments. It's just important to me to look at these types of things.
Starting point is 03:06:52 This is the reality of it. God bless you all, have a great rest of your day. We probably won't do too much of this ever again. dumbed down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
Starting point is 03:07:53 They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
