The David Knight Show - Thu Episode #2078: Inflation Lies: Food + Power Costs Exploding

Episode Date: August 21, 2025

[01:02:23] USDA Subsidies for Solar on FarmlandUSDA’s history of paying farmers to cover fertile land with solar panels is exposed, raising food cost concerns and linking to global green energy agendas. [01:07:37] Renewables, Grid Instability & Texas FreezeExplains how reliance on solar/wind caused Texas grid failures, drawing parallels with UK policies and arguing this is part of a coordinated global plan. [01:10:15] New Jersey Green Energy BacklashGovernor Murphy’s energy plan sparks pushback as electricity costs skyrocket, with Democrats fleeing the policy ahead of elections. [01:13:41] AI Data Centers Fueling Energy CrisisRapid expansion of AI computing is blamed for tripling demand, worsening grid instability, and hiking business and household electricity bills. [01:24:32] AI Energy Use & Government SilenceSegment explores how ChatGPT-5 may use up to 20x more energy than earlier models. Despite climate rhetoric, regulators hide AI’s electricity and water consumption because the state values AI’s surveillance and control powers. [01:29:09] Inflation Lies & Rising CostsVegetables up 40%, coffee 25%, electricity climbing faster than inflation — but official stats mask reality. Trump pressures the Fed to drop rates while hidden costs distort the economy. [01:32:34] Data Centers & Universal Basic Income PushMassive power demand from AI/data centers spikes household electricity bills. Discussion links technocracy and neo-Marxist thinking, framing UBI as a tool for control rather than relief. [01:35:01] Karl Marx, Satan & Ideological RotDeep dive into Karl Marx’s satanic writings and plays like Oulinem, tying communism’s roots to spiritual rebellion and destruction. [01:41:11] Communitarianism & Smart Cities DeceptionExplains how technocracy is rebranded as “communitarianism” to sell surveillance, digital ID, and smart city control as “community-driven” initiatives, masking authoritarian goals. [02:05:11] Lisa Cook Mortgage CaseAllegations that Fed Governor Lisa Cook claimed two “primary residences” to secure better mortgage terms, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. [02:08:26] Musk Backs VanceElon Musk abandons third-party flirtation and throws support behind J.D. Vance, framed as cementing Silicon Valley/Thiel technocracy ties. [02:19:44] GOP Closet ScandalsReports of Grindr spikes at GOP events fuel arguments about hypocrisy in a party accused of shielding abusers while posturing on morality. [02:42:17] Glyphosate & GagsNova Scotia approves mass glyphosate spraying while curbing public access; paralleled with EU “media freedom” rules forcing platforms to boost establishment outlets. [02:57:24] Stablecoin Power GrabStablecoins and Tether framed as Trojan horses for bank surveillance, interest extraction, and eventual replacement of local cash economies.

In a world. deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the david night show as the clock strikes 13 it's the 21st of august here of our lord 2025 today we're going to take a look at a mixed bag of good and bad news about the climate mcuffin yes they are still tearing our grid apart like gremlins on a plane but there's a couple

of positive moves that are happening with it. We're going to take a look also at more politics. It is now rumored that there is a rampant hypocrisy about the LGBT within the GOP. Who would have thought that the party

that protects pedophiles whether it's Jeffrey Epstein or whether it's Israeli cybersecurity guy? Who would have thought that they would closeted. So we're going to be right back. Stay with us. Well, I want to wish Travis, happy birthday. Today is his birthday, and he's working on his birthday. Oh, thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Travis. So where would you like to start here? I'll give you the choice. Make a wish. Let's go with the green agenda stuff. That's all stuff is always. Okay, that's why I started, I guess. Yeah, we have the USDA secretary, Brooke Rawlins, was in ten,

Tennessee for the State Fair, and she made an announcement that they're going to stop funding solar panels all over fertile farmland. Did you know they were doing that? The USDA was actually subsidizing solar panels to destroy farmland. Yeah, feed the AI, but don't feed the humans. That's really what this is all about. Who knew they were doing this? And I talked about this in the UK.

And we showed pictures of the massive numbers of solar panels there that are just covering everything. It's truly amazing. So the USA will no longer subsidize that, putting solar panels on productive farmland to destroy it, or allow solar panels manufactured by foreign adversaries to be used in department projects. They're still going to be subsidizing it, but they'll be subsidizing it with taxpayer money for American crony capitalism. That's what they'll be doing so. That's the good news from Brooke Rowland.

Noting how solar panels on farmland nationwide have increased nearly 50% since 2012. Let's see. Who have the president been since 2012? Trump was one of them. And he didn't do anything to stop the solar farms replacing food farms. I've mentioned this forward, but my wife and I go back to Texas to visit her family fairly frequently. And along the side of the road, a lot of the time, there's just these giant farm fields,

and I've seen so many solar panels in them now. You know, things I never used to see when we were a kid. We took quite a few cross-country trips when we were younger, and it was just something you didn't see. You know, you'd occasionally see those giant windmills because they've been around a long time. And that really does create this strange illusion when you're dry, because they're so large, it creates a strange perception. Am I getting any closer to this at all?

Don Quixote's mind would have boggled at them. Yeah, this is, when you look at it, it's yet another cost that people are not really factored into it. Solar panels and the fact that they are getting rid of farmland, getting rid of trees, forests, and things like that, cutting them down in order to put solar panels up. It's another one of these things that really hasn't gotten sufficient exposure. And that's the cost everyone has to pay. the increase in food costs as they replace these fields. And food costs are exploding. The thing is that when you look at all these different things,

even the fact that the wind and solar does not have the kind of inertia that power generators did, and that's created a whole new level of problems. If they're concerned about warming, getting rid of trees is the wrong thing to do. But, of course, that's now starting to become the new fashion. We have to cut down the trees and bury them. I wonder why they made that switch. Could it be because they want to support putting solar panels out in various places? Having funerals for trees now.

Well, Bill Lee made a statement, the governor of Tennessee, saying, yeah, we're going to stop doing this. But what he really needs to do is he really needs to tell the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, to stop going down this renewable thing. are people who the upper echelon of the TVA are getting paid literally millions of dollars the CEO got paid like eight or nine million dollars salary it's it's obscene the kind of money that this power company that is part government and part private it's this weird thing kind of like the Federal Reserve and the CDC but they're moving very quickly to put in battery energy storage sites best

this is what Elon Musk is selling and these are massive conglomerations of batteries which guess what they can spontaneously combust and burn all of our homes and forest land and farms down all at the same time but they're taking a victory lamp for the USDA saying it's a testament to the department's determination and taxpayer support for unaffordable unreliable green energy resources and ensure that the supply chain consists of American products and manufacturing. Well, we'll see if they can still manufacture them with a terrace in place. But just like the U.K., the U.S. is imposing renewable energy and charges consumers for creating unreliable and costly energy supply.

And the largest regional transmission organization in the United States is one that involves Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland Interconnection. It began with just those three states, but now it provides the power for 13 states. All are part of the power for 13 different states. They call it PJM, as in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. And now what is happening with it, part is, it seems kind of like, you know, the tariff issues that Trump had, where there's this additional layer of problems that are brought on by the, indecision as to whether or not he's going to move forward with the tariffs or what

level it's going to be. That's what they're coming up with with the renewables. They said it's reliance on renewables that's created a juggling act with a backlog of projects waiting for transmission lines, waiting for grid storage, that wonderful battery energy storage system that Musk wants to do, and higher cost and reduced reliability for consumers. See, one of the things is when you start building these remote power generation areas like the solar farms or the windmill farms, you've got to run the power lines out to it. And when they did that in Texas to make the grid unreliable there, it costs billions of dollars that were paid for by the state to subsidize these formerly oil-rich billionaires who then jumped over into the quote-unquote

renewable. They wanted to run the power lines out to them so they could sell power and make profits. It's an amazing grift. And of course, the green scam is what caused the massive Texas freeze. Well, not the freeze itself, but the problems with it. They put these windmills up and relying on them for power. And they play these word games. Like, oh, well, technically the windmill didn't freeze. It was the propane that would defrost the windmill that froze. Or we didn't pay for the option that would have defrosted it because we didn't think we'd need it, you know, that type of thing. Either way, it's an issue with the windmills, the

themselves. You don't have these issues with the power plants. Yeah. Yeah. When we first moved to Texas, they're real busy shutting down power plants that were fully functional, had a lot of life left in them, but they were using coal and oil, which Texas has an abundance of the oil. But this is something, this is an article from the UK, and they point out that as much as they've seen this in the UK, it's also happening in the U.S. It's happening everywhere. They said a similar plan is being followed on both sides of Atlantic. Are we seeing the rollout of a global plan, or is it just a coincidence? I think it's a conspiracy, frankly.

The media has been talking extensively about New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's energy plan, saying it will do little, if anything, to, quote-unquote, save the planet. It is a bad idea and will, in fact, unnecessarily raise electricity prices for millions. Here's a headline example, a green new headache. Democrats flee governor's green energy master plan as election approaches. Insane energy policies are set to burn Democrats in New Jersey and New York. Also, what makes Jersey run? Your growing energy bill is a growing issue in the governor's race.

The question is, when are people going to push back against this? PJM doesn't generate power. It's actually a regional transmission organization. It doesn't have any power lines. It doesn't have any power plants. It has no substations. It's kind of like an air traffic controller of the grid coordinating the flow of electricity

across 88,000 miles of high voltage transmission, managing more than 1,400 power generators and pulling the levers of gigantic energy marketplaces where utilities buy the electricity delivered to your living room. And part of why this is exploding so quickly in cost, and it has exploded. It's gone from $29.92 per megawatt per day to $329 megawatts per day. It's $329 megawatts per megawatt day for 2026.

So it's gone from $29 to $329. That, folks, is an 11-fold increase. And what is causing that is not that the cost of electricity has gone up, but it's a lot of uncertainty costs. As I said before, it's very much like the tariffs that are out there. We have a government that's going to operate by Fiat and tell people, do this, make this happen, and do it now, whether or not it can happen. And it's created chaos and confusion throughout our economy from the tariffs to the power generation. They said, suddenly, one-fifth of your bill is just capacity, meaning a backup for things that don't work when it's cloudy, when it's calm, or when it's dark.

right so if the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining you got to have backup and that's where musk comes in he's going to make tremendous amounts of money for his backup capacity so new jersey like every other green leader is retiring gas plants and nuclear units as a matter of policy i thought they had just given their new seal of approval to nukes so that they could have AI power, but that's still not, they haven't gotten the memo in Jersey yet, I guess. They're pinning their hopes on renewables that still don't have transmission lines or grid storage. There is a 143 gigawatt backlog, like the professor would say gigawatts, Marty. That's huge. And their project queue, most of it wind and solar, waiting for approval

and to even get started building it. And so there's lawsuits, there's bureaucrats, there's regulatory things that have to be done before they can get this stuff moved. And it's that kind of indecision, that expense, and even without that stuff there, they have jumped the electricity prices by 11 times higher. Now toss in the wild card, the AI data center gold rush. What used to be a footnote on the demand page now accounts for 4% of total load with a straight trajectory to 12% by 2030. In other words, it's going to triple as well.

And so you've got to pull out all the stops and rush this stuff through, grease it with extra money so that we can have a sufficient capacity for AI to grow. That's only going to increase the cost as you try to do it faster and faster. It's truly just amazing because it'd be bad enough it was simply going to be sucking up all the energy for non-nefarious purposes. But these things are going to be used to track us and control us at all times. So not only are they going to deny you. you air conditioning. But what they're going to deny you for is also going to restrict your freedoms. They're going to crush you in multiple ways. The AI data centers are going to be such a burden and a blight on the American people. Yeah, the average bill there in that area

that served by PJM is now 20% higher than the national average. It's going to soar even more. And business owners are seeing $2,800 monthly charges for mid-size operations. the while billions in clean energy projects offshore wind storage farms hydrogen pilots are being canceled nationwide 14 to 22 billion dollars in 2025 alone were canceled due to political uncertainty and people looking hard at the real cost of these renewables as well as the vanishing tax credits and the politics involved in it these things would never exist if it was market driven If it was driven by efficiency and competition, they would never exist. And it is all based on a phony crisis.

That's the worst thing. What is the worst thing about this? The fact that they're going to use the AI stuff is going to really ramp this up to surveil us and the fact that this is all just a phony McGuffin. The energy is used to spy on us and in such small portions, too. Yeah, that's kind of the joke about the two old ladies came out of the restaurant One said the food was horrible, and the other one said, yes, and then such small portions. Yeah, the electricity is unreliable, and yes, and it's so expensive as well.

So this is the state of where we are right now. We see that they're bragging about pulling back the Green McGuffin, and yet not all of that is under the control of the federal government. Much of it is happening because the federal government has subsidized and pushed that. And so just pulling back some of the subsidies, as the Trump administration is doing, is a positive thing. Because if he subsidizes the stuff as he did with the COVID so-called pandemic, that is what really makes it happen. And it was these subsidies from Biden and from Congress with their, what was their acronym? It wasn't the big, beautiful bill. It was.

Build back better. Yeah. Anyway, it was like IRS or something like that. Anyway, these bills that they put in there, if they subsidize it, it will be built one way or the other. Even if it never gets finished, they will pour that money into it and they will do a lot of damage. In the UK, people are starting to get concerned about Tesla's battery energy storage sites as well. thousands are objecting to Tesla's bid to supply energy to UK homes. Now, there, they're not so much worried about the true issues, which are an astronomical cost

and a massive fire risk. There, they are just opposing it because they don't like Elon Musk anymore. The company applied for a license last month to the energy regulator to start supplying power to homes and businesses in England, Scotland, Wales, as soon as next year. And they have online polls where people are pushing back, demanding that this not be built. Well, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk about how much energy do these AI programs actually use? You'll be surprised, actually.

And it turns out that they're not getting more efficient. They're getting more power hungry. So it's going to be even worse with the later generations. We do have some comments if you want to get to them before. Yeah, sure. We've got North American House Hippo. Thank you very much. That is very generous.

We appreciate it. He says there was an electric bus fire at the universal bus yard last month. Fortunately, it happened in the middle of the day. So other than the diesel bus next to it, all other buses were on the road. Wow. Because there were no nearby buses for the fire to spread to it, never got to the be the best outbuildings. It would have been unfortunate. Nevertheless, the fire was spectacular.

That was a near miss right there. There have been so many of these entire bus stations that had burned down in Germany and France that they pulled back on that stuff. And by the way, you know, you're talking about having a fire. There was a fire of a tractor trailer that was pulling several electric vehicles to the marketplace. And that was a big mess. I mean, it's not as big a mess as the massive transport ships where you have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of luxury cars go down the drain literally because they can't put the fire out. Electric fire, some of the electric cars caught fire.

But this was a tractor trailer, 18-wheeler, pulling, towing a lot of electric cars, and one of them caught fire, and they all caught fire. And we'll see that over and over again. Yeah, it keeps happening. It's one of those things where anyone that's actually paying attention knows about it, but you don't really hear about it on the news, it seems like. They don't mention it. Well, it's something that...

at least not connect the dots. It is a tremendous flaw in the technology. And if they're going to have battery-driven cars, they need to wait until they got a reliable, safe battery to put it in there. And the problem is these battery energy storage sites that are attaching to the grid are even worse than the cars because they're much, much, much larger. I mean, even just the little electric scooters in New York

are burning down buildings. Yeah, electric bikes as well. That's the thing, you know, if everything else to do with an electric car, you can turn off autopilot, you can avoid the other issues with it. But this is simply just, it's a grenade you don't know when it's going to go off or if it's going to go off. You might get one and it's perfectly fine and it never has any issues. Or maybe you get one and it burns your house down the first night you bring it home. It's whatever the flaw is, they haven't figured it out and they don't know how to stop it. And it can be a slight injury.

You can have like a little, a small little fender bender, and that might compromise the battery. and this is why the insurance rates are going sky high. They have to replace all that stuff because if there's some small flaw introduced because of that fender bender, that's when you get the kind of spontaneous combustion that you see. Yeah, and then you have to actually trust that they were able to figure out where the flaw was.

You have to trust that your mechanic knows exactly what to look for in all of these spots. You know, you have a minor issue with a gasoline car, and chances are you'll be fine. Maybe you need to take it back in, get some more work done. maybe it's leaking oil or something like that, but it's not going to explode in the middle of the night

and burn your house down. Yeah. Well, you know, and that's the other thing, too, a lot of these flaws in this new technology, like range issues and high cost, those are things that the person wants to buy it can make that decision whether they want that or not because there are some advantages to the electric cars.

And so they can make that trade-off as to whether they want to do it. But this whole thing about spontaneous combustion and the uncontrollable fires, That affects everybody. And it also, by the way, affects the environment. And it's dumping all those chemical gases into the air and the liquids into the topsoil. But they don't care about that. They don't care about the rockets.

No. They just, the rockets go up, the rockets come down. They got to escape to Mars because we're, you know, we're poisoning the planet. We're going to Mars, though. Don't worry. Yeah. Well, the Trump administration just relaxed the rules for rockets going up in terms of, you know, whatever emission rules that they had with it.

I got some more comments there. Yeah, KWD68 says, Save the Earth, we'll have a silent spring and other ice age, or the ozone layer will fail, or we will have acid rain, or we will have global warming. It goes on and on and on.

Yeah, they've come up, they've got one McGuffin after the other. She also says, parts of Kentucky set up for wildfires, no rain in weeks. Later day could be rough. Labor Day. Labor Day.

My apologies. Then we have some happy birthday wishes, Well, it's very kind. Denver Adaway says, happy birthday. B. L. Houghton, B. My Valentine, KWD 68, Brandon Bennett, Mama C, 1996, Miluton, Malankovic, occulty sim, Mr. Palm. And for the love of the road, says anniversary of the first show, too. A, happy eight years. Was it really? I didn't realize it was on my birthday, actually. I wasn't sure, but Karen had said the other day once we're getting close to the eight-year anniversary of the show. She said, It began on Travis's birthday. I said, yeah, I remember, I thought it was close to it, but, yeah, Ryan would know. He keeps up with that better than I do. Y'all are better at keeping track of this stuff than we are. But yeah, here we are.

It's pretty close to having an eight-year anniversary when we went to two people on the show. It's almost a show's going to be 10 years old soon. Yeah, yeah. Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Stay with us. Hold to look around at the patch of ground known as Mother Nature's Siv. Though it's horrible to visit, it's a miserable place to live. We're going to be able to be.

I'm going to be able to be. You're listening to the David Knight Show. I just telling Travis, his son really likes that song there, Pilateo. Whenever that comes on, he sets up and takes notice. There might be because I kind of, I've played a lot of string orchestras for him. I got Mozart's Ina Klinea, night music. I thought it's funny. I thought, let me get, this is a little knight, let me give him some little night music.

He's getting cultured over here. making sure that he's got better taste than I do. It does grab his attention, especially if he's got a video that shows the people actually playing it. He really likes that. I also want to apologize. Apparently, I misspoke, and I called KVD68 a she. Sorry, my apologies. I got not much sleep last night.

Little guy has been going through some sleep regression. He's been making it kind of difficult. So, my apologies. He's got Mozart playing in his mind. Okay, so how much energy does a chat GPT consume when it's doing, processing a prompt? It turns out the energy consumption for the newest version of chat GPT is significantly higher than previous models. It could be up to 20 times more energy intensive than the first version. Here we go.

I mean, we're seeing stuff growing by leaps and bounds. Electricity rates are going up by a factor of 11. The energy requirements for the chats are going up by a factor of 20. it's amazing. The prices of things are going up, but our salaries are not. There is a severe lack of transparency regarding energy use and environmental impact of the AI models. It's not amazing because these are the people who are so freaked out about it all, but they want to keep that hidden.

That should tell you something as well. So we can have the government have energy standards for everything from cars to air conditioning, but they're not going to have any energy standards for air conditioning, but they're not going to have any energy standards for AI. They don't even want you to know what these things use. So it's not going to have that little sticker on it like you see for your refrigerator or your washing machine or something. How much energy does it use?

The answer is, well, a whole lot is about the closest they can go. They said academics are trying to quantify the energy use for queries, but it is considerably higher than it was for previous models. There are no mandates coming from the Department of Energy, or the EPA that would force AI companies to disclose their energy use or their environmental impact. No, it's all just going to be swept under the carpet for their purposes, because understand the government wants what AI brings to the table, surveillance and control. It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes,

yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics. No emission factors. Nothing, said one person. It's not mandated. It's not regulated. Given where we are with the climate crisis, said one of them, it should be the top agenda of regulators everywhere. This is a person who hasn't gone on to the fact that the climate crisis is not real.

And that's one of the things I think really sticks out about this. Clearly, the government is not worried about this. Clearly, the government doesn't see this as an existential crisis, the climate part of it is. but you should see AI as an existential crisis because it is. It shows that the government doesn't believe it, and it shows that these people that are pushing for more regulation about it don't believe it. And what does that tell you? It's kind of like how so many billionaires are socialists.

Clearly, they don't think socialism is going to be bad for them, and clearly these billionaires don't think the green agenda is going to hurt them. That's right. And it's not just electricity. It's the water that uses as well. And we said this for the longest time about NSA, when they built their Bluffdale, Utah facility, to store all this information

until they were able to come around with data mining to be able to make sense of it. You know, for the longest time, the federal government has been saving everything that you do, the life log, if you will, project or Facebook or whatever. But they're saving everything on the Internet so they can at some point in the future, when the computers are fast enough

and the software are smart enough, they can go back and collate all that, data mine it, and tag you. Experts from outside the open AI fold have estimated that ChatGPT 5 may use as much as 20 times more energy as the first version of ChatGPT. At the very least, it would be several times more, they've said. And while all that is happening and electricity prices are soaring, vegetables are up nearly 40%. Coffee is up 25%. and electricity prices are rising twice as fast as inflation. The question is, why?

And there's a lot of different theories about this. Some of this is due to the tariffs. Some of it, in terms of vegetables, many people are saying, well, we're having fewer vegetables come in because we don't have the people to harvest them because of the immigration enforcement. So there's a lot of different things that are happening here. But the reality is that, as we all know,

prices are going up whether or not the government will admit it with its phony numbers or not. They're trying to hide that just like chat. GPD is trying to hide its energy usage. And in the face of all of that, Trump is manically trying to get the Federal Reserve to drop interest rates. I think it's kind of interesting to see his latest move to try to get rid of a Fed governor that was put in by Biden, who has turned out to be a real hawk, which is probably more political than it is from an economic standpoint. I mean, this person is probably so they're appointed by Biden. They're probably a modern monetary theorist, which is Keynesian isn't on steroids, but they will sit there very carefully say, no, no, no, we can't lower

interest rates because it would politically be what Trump wants. Now, it's not going to help us if they lower the interest rates. It's going to kick inflation. to hire gear and it's going to not lower the interest rates on things like homes and cars because those are going to be put out there by people who have to make a profit. They can do fiat interest rates in the Federal Reserve that they charge to banks. They can do that by fiat and just raise it or lower it. But the other people are looking at what they think inflation is going to be and they're going to offer you rates on homes and cars and other things like that.

based on their perception of the inflation rate. So the real figure is 38.9%. Trump's stats are lying. They don't include electricity because electricity is only weighed in as 3% of the costs, as I pointed out the other day. So they have all these different tricks that they've put in to manipulate the price

or the costs, I should say, of various things, and to manipulate the overall inflation rate. Coffee exports from Brazil were already hit with a 50% tariff, even though they were already up by 25%. They just hit them with a 50% tariff. And that has not kicked in yet because they have contracts that are there. So that tariff rate has not kicked in.

And the tariff, this tariff on coffee is simply to protect Trump's friend Bolsonaro. And look, I disagree with the idea that you're going to lock up your opponents if you win the election. And that's what's going on there in Brazil. nevertheless, when you look at the way these things are being set up, they don't help the American consumer. Coffee prices rose sharply, 25% of the past three months. About two-thirds of U.S. adults drink coffee, one of the most basic things that Americans buy. And then when you look at electricity, like I said before, you look at Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, down into D.C.

where there's massive amount of data centers that are there outside of Washington, D.C. But in another area, down in Florida, people are complaining because they've got power bills that are going up to $500 a month. And when you start looking at what the median family income is, it turns out that that's a pretty big part of the budget. If you take a look at the median family income, and I think it's still around $50,000, roughly. if somebody's paying $500 a month, that's 12% of their budget. It's not 3%, which is what the government uses to calculate that. But the thing is, when we look at the cost of food skyrocketing, the cost of electricity skyrocketing, as I said before, the only thing that they're interested in feeding is AI.

They're interested in feeding their power and their tyranny, and they're not interested in feeding people. This is all set up to come after people. And so MSN News is saying, well, after AI replaces most humans' jobs, then what do we do? Well, of course, the answer is universal basic income. That's where these people have been for the longest time. Elon Musk, as well as Bloomberg, talking about that. You know, it sounds like Marxism, and the technocracy is not Marxism, but it shares many of the same components. As a matter of fact, so much so that George Gilder in his book said that he called the people in Silicon Valley, he called them neo-Marxists because he said they have the same fundamental flaw that Karl Marx did, which was to imagine that because of the Industrial Revolution, Karl Marx said, well, we have infinite capacity.

We're post-scarcity. Yeah, exactly. No more scarcity. All we have to do is justly allocate these resources. I'm going to let government allocate these resources. That's a basic premise of communism. And George Gilder said, that's the same thing that these idiots in Silicon Valley think. They think that they have infinite capacity to produce material goods. And all they have to do is just allocate that to you with universal basic income. It's a very arrogant and an arrogantly dangerous and stupid idea. We have a clip, actually, while we're talking about Karl Marx, Karl Marx and Satan, the connection between the two of them, this is an interview that was connected by Jordan Peterson,

and I want you to hear just how satanic the person, Carl Marx, was, and we have seen this over and over again from people who have dedicated their book, Solonsky dedicated his book, to Satan, the original Rebel, another communist authoritarian. Homes that he wrote that were pans to Mephistopheles,

is that after he becomes an atheist? No, he's writing, so the first one was 1837, wrote another in 1841, he wrote a bunch of them. Right. And he did just a chilling play called Ullanem. Yes. O-U-L-A-N-E-M. And people that are watching this,

if they now type into their computer, Even in Google, it'll pop up, play by Carl Marks. It even has a Wikipedia entry. And let me warn people, you might not want to do this, but if you click the images button, you will see, I mean, you will see, I mean, there's some satanic stuff up there from like, not heavy metal, but like black metal groups. So Ullanem is an anagram for Emmanuel or Emmanuelo. Right. So Marx takes Emmanuel, which is the name given to Christ. or Manuelo, and he flips it into this anagram called Ulanam.

And it's this chilling play. The main character is Lucindo, Lucindo, L-U-C-I-N-D-O. And you just can't believe what you're reading with this play. So that was written later in the 1840s. So really the prime of his writing, including the decade when he wrote the Communist Manifesto, is also the same decade when he was writing these, these poems and plays and plays and plays and plays and throughout his life his kids and others would say yeah he had a favorite line always from mephistopheles everything that exists to perish so that

remains a part of him throughout his life sounds like claus Schwab doesn't it has a letter or at least be tracked and traced continually yeah which i don't know maybe it's playful i don't know. Yeah, ha. Although I would never, you know, call my dad, my dear devil. His wife called him, uh, my wicked knave. I, I quote, uh, Henrik Hineson, uh, referring to him as a goblin. Right.

You try to get, take me under, under his spell. Um, other cases of, of where, of where he's using that kind of language. Uh, when Engels first met him, he describes him as this dark man from Trere, um, who hops and leaps and springs on his heels, the monster of 10,000 devils, he describes him. And the letter from his father, which was written 1837, a year before his father died. So his father writes to him, March 2nd, 1837,

Carl, at times my heart delights in thinking of you and your fortune, and yet at times they cannot rid myself of ideas which arouse in me sad forebodings and fear when I am struck as if by lightning by the thought, is your heart in accord with your head, your talents, has a room for the earthly but gentler sediments which in this veil of sorrow, it's a beautiful letter in many ways, are essentially consoling for a man of feeling. And then this question, from the father of Karl Marx to his, to his at this point, 18 year old son and since that heart carl is obviously animated and governed by a demon not granted to all men is that demon heavenly or faustian yeah have you sold your soul

that's that's very amazing um yeah such darkness there and that philosophy you know these philosophies really do matter that's how they take captive our mind And that really is where the war is. The secularists called it a mind war. Christians call it a spiritual war. It's a fight for your mind and what you think. And we know which side Karl Marx and as followers have embraced. The interesting thing is, as we look at this,

and people are seeing something that is kind of a hybrid of a lot of these different aspects, and that is technocracy now. so a lot of people look at it and say is technocracy fascism is it communism and many others have been calling themselves now saying it's communitarianism you know in the same way it's this is a these labels are used to confuse people many of the communists will call themselves socialists or progressive and and yet you know you can't really see any difference that is there wasn't it Vladimir linen that said the end goal of socialism is communism you know it's a stepping stone That's how you get there.

You sell them on this light version of it. Yeah. And then you work your way towards the full deal. Well, it's authoritarianism that culminates in totalitarianism. And that's why, you know, you can talk about fascism versus communism. The difference is the path that you take to get to totalitarianism. It's an order of operation sort of deal, you know? Yeah, exactly.

So you have technocracy news has an article about the difference in this new. label that they're using to try to confuse people. It's what we're talking about. He says when technocrats want to shield their technocratic policies, they intentionally do so in the language of communitarianism. So yeah, we're not communists. We're socialists or we are progressives. He says one example of this is smart cities. The technocratic policy, of course, is urban planners who lock you into a small controlled area restricting your movements and that type of thing. Surveillance, digital ID, algorithmic resource allocation made by unelected, unaccountable, technical experts and private sector consultants. That's the reality.

So how did they frame this to say this is about communitarianism? Because, you know, we like communities. We want to have communities. Well, policymakers will frequently describe these initiatives as advancing inclusive urban communities. Yes, inclusive. It's like, inclusive like you're going to be included in a prison or an open-air prison or something as empowering local groups or as in building public trust through collective digital transformation the emphasis is on community-driven sustainability shared public spaces and strengthening community ties and going back to the very beginning of this when they were going around when it was still agenda 21 they would use a tactic to

It was developed by the RAND Corporation, and they would go into a community, tell people, come in, we want to have your input on the things that we want to do. It's going to help the community. So they gave it kind of this, they didn't call it specifically communitarianism, but they would come in. They already had their agenda set, and they would have the facilitators, would be the people who are actually in control. They would ask you for your input, but they already had the conclusion was pre-written. And so it was just a beard, a facade to try to get people think that even if they didn't agree with the conclusion, that was what was agreed to by the rest of the group is called the Delphi principle.

And so they've been doing this communitarianism for quite some time. Another issue, another example of this, of course, is public health. We're going to do this all to you to help the community, right? And we know exactly how that worked in the 2020s. right into your cell. Yeah, he said, if you've ever read Walden 2 by B.F. Skinner, you know everything about communitarianism that you need to know. The story, by the way, ended very horribly.

Communitarianism is a political and social philosophy that places primary emphasis on the importance of the community, just as we saw with the public health scam, right? You have to take the inject the Kool-Aid poison for the good of the community. the common good social relationships all shape individual identity values and moral judgments it asserts that people's identities are molded by their social environment and their community ties rather than by individualism forget about individuality your personhood even your soul communitarianism sees the community as an end in of itself and so the reality is they don't they don't care about consensus they don't care about the common good or about social adhesion. They have their own agenda. And again, probably, you know, the best way that we can understand this is by what was rolled out on us under Trump in 2020 with a fake pandemic. And so Palantir, Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and Alex Clark,

as he points out, Palantir is the master of these tactics on the battlefield and in civilian life. And so if you say that technocracy, if you talk about it in a negative way, they will turn it towards communitarianism. But it's not the same thing. Technocracy is not even, in its reality, is not even concerned with the good of the community.

It's only concerned with the good of a few oligarchs who are running this whole thing. So they will always come up with their labels in order to deceive people and they will hide it as well. One of the examples we have is Doge and its AI tool is now going to take a buzzsaw to federal regulations. Now, I would have always cheered any buzzsaw being taken to federal regulations. Remember when we did that video that had a congressional candidate who was going to, he did a stunt and basically want to take the income tax code and feed it through a wood chipper? And he contacted the IRS, and they couldn't tell him how many pages it was,

and they couldn't send him as many pages as it was. Their best estimate that was at the time, it was something like 70,000 pages of regulations. It's great to know that even the people there don't know what's on the books. And so way he did was he took the approximate number that they could come up with, and he got the equivalent in phone books, and he fed it through a wood chipper. actually we filmed it for them it was at a candidate's meeting and and it truly was amazing and I would I would be all in favor of taking a bus saw to all these regulations are growing by leaps and bounds every year and have been for many many Republican and Democrat administrations

including Trumps but the problem is what they're going to replace it with um DOGE actually has a successor called rage which stands for replace all government employees. And that's what I said, this was about from the very beginning. I've never seen this acronym before. But you could tell from what Musk wanted to do, he wanted to fire government employees and replace them with what? We want to replace them with AI. And so I said, he's going to minimize government employees and he is going to maximize government. AI is going to be able to glean the details of your life far more comprehensively than any group of people could do. And so I don't see this as an improvement.

I see this as a, you know, jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire, quite frankly. Yeah, as I said before, my biggest concern is just the fact that when you get rid of the human element, there's no longer a, there's no longer a chance for mercy at all. That's right. Sure, the people who work in the government are generally not going to give it to you, but there's a small chance. There's always the potential that you'll come across somebody that may empathize with you and be able to look at you and say, okay.

Well, Joe Bannister's case is a good example of that. He worked for the IRS as a criminal investigator, and he started asking some questions as he was investigating some of these people, but they were coming after as criminals because they looked at the IRS code and said, but wait a minute, you haven't done this legally. He came across some arguments they thought were pretty valid, and so he asked his supervisor and supervisor says, don't talk about that. you know, shut him down. So that got his curiosity even more as he looked at it more and more. He started asking more questions. But, you know, he eventually left and they eventually attacked him.

But before that happened, there was an IRS agent. And again, this is the human element. The guy didn't like Joe Bannister because as a criminal investigator, he got to carry a gun. He got paid more. He got to get out of the office and, you know, drive around the outside so that are being bound into a cubicle or whatever. And every year, the criminal investigators had to be audited. When this guy audited him, he came up with a big number of underpayment that he said Joe need to pay plus penalties plus interest and all the rest of stuff. And he knew he didn't know that. So he appealed it and he got some other people who didn't have an issue with him and looked

at it objectively. And yet, you know, when you look at it, you would think they're going to sell it to you. oh, well, this is AI, it's going to be objective. It's not going to have a vendetta to come after you. No, it'll have a vendetta that is built in there based on your political or religious background. Whoever is in control of the AI at that moment can make it do whatever it wants. Whatever data they put in is whatever data will come out. If they tell it, we believe this guy is a threat to our security, make sure that he is punished in an acceptable way.

However, they phrase it, they'll be able to get whatever kind of output they want. And the AI won't give you its training data. You're not going to be able to audit it. That's right. Well, they have a new AI program. The guy who led this, his name is Sweet. And he is someone who just got out of college. Actually, I don't know if he even graduated.

Until recently, he was a third-year student at the University of Chicago. So he may have left early. But very young guy. And Christopher Sweet has put this project together. and it's going to be an AI review. They call it the D-A-I-P, the Sweet Rex D-A-I-P, which stands for Deregulation AI Plan Builder. Again, as I said, we would all support deregulation.

It is like a boa constrictor, and it's choking everything, except when you look at what the long-term goal of these people are, they said they're likely to use this tool to eliminate up to 50% of federal regulations by January the 26th. So, again, we should feed these regulations into the wood chipper, but I'm afraid they're going to feed us into the wood chipper if we get rid of humans in the process and move to a ruthless AI.

That's the kind of Terminator I'm worried about. The terminator's got built-in biases from our human masters. One of the things is also part of the reason, one of the only arguments for AI is the sheer, number of laws and the complexity of them. If you're able to pair these down, if you're able to send 50% of them to the wood chipper and then maybe another 50% and pair it down to a reasonable level, then you can actually have a reasonable state where a human being can look through these things and make judgments on them. That's right. If we've got 200,000 federal

regulations, no, there's no way any amount of human beings can actually know what's on the books and give you a fair reasoning on any of it. Yeah. So, yeah, the AI would be better at scanning through these and actually cataloging what's there. But if you pair it down, again, you could actually have a reasonable bureaucracy. Again, you've got a government-created problem, okay, that they're then going to exacerbate with their quote-unquote solution. Problem reaction solution. Yeah, we didn't have that.

You know, when we had Jefferson and others, they had a government that was small enough to actually be legitimate and fit in the Constitution. We have a massive, illegitimate government that resembles the Byzantine Empire. with its bureaucracy. I could really wonder what Jefferson or Washington would say if you were telling we had 200,000 regulations. They would say we're slaves. They would be right, wouldn't they?

Well, before we take a break, we've got some comments here if you wanted to read them. Sure. Sam Miller, one, two, three. Thank you. That is very, very generous. We really do appreciate it. Great day to celebrate. Welcome back, David.

Happy anniversary. Happy birthday, Travis. Well, thank you. Blessings to all. My big reveal. I'm a she. Well, it's not Sam Miller. It's less than Moore, I think.

Or maybe it's short for Samantha. Oh, okay. Maybe. I don't know. But. Spunk Hollow Rose Gardens. We're going to be. I've been away from the show for a while.

It's so great to see you back, Mr. Knight. Love the new setup. May Christ continue to bless you and your family. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. And Guard, good to see you, Guard. Hope you're doing well. The book, The Devil, and Carl Marks is excellent.

That sounds like an interesting read. Yeah. Karen Carpenter... Probably kind of like the devil of Daniel Webster, right? Or maybe even... They seem like they were the best of friends. Karen Carpenter 27 says, also cameras for surveillance don't like trees. That's true.

Trees get in the way of things. A Syrian girl. Another thing about the electric cars, a lot of mechanics around here won't touch them. They bring in specialized teams to service those babies. I imagine it's a completely different system than what you have in a combustion engine. And as such, you probably need specific tool sets and specific skill sets. Well, they've been going in that direction for a very long time, complicating it so that you can't be a shade tree mechanic.

They long ago left the world where everything was mechanical, and now there's so much electronics and everything that you've got to have special equipment to diagnose it, even if you've got an internal combustion engine. Yeah, you have to have one of those things you plug in. You know, that's one of the interesting things with meadas. There's four different generations of meadas. And they had a company called Flying Miata, and what they would do is they would squeeze in an eight-cylinder engine

of these things, usually like a Corvette engine. The first generation, it was a piece of cake. Second generation, it was still fine. Third generation, they started having some issues, because now there was a lot of electronics in it. And now the fourth generation, they struggled with that for more than a year. They had to bring in special people to help them to do that

because everything was connected. They said, you know, we would put this in and we thought we had it all connected. Now all of a sudden, the windshield wipers are running all the time. Everything was interconnected to the electronics. And whenever I shipped into fourth, my horn honks for some reason, I don't get it. Coal 360 forms are so last century.

That's why we need lab grown meat and produce from AI bot farms running nuke water to feed the plants and production. That's right. We need all these things. We can't live without them. Tunnel Lord, 1337. Communism is just a cover for central control that is indistinguishable from monarchical rule.

Both have central controllers telling everyone how else to live. Sprumford, I think communism isn't the end. It's the means. S.A. Miller. We're going to assume S.A. now. 1, 2, 3. Communitarianism says, slash socialism was practiced in biblical times.

A big difference was the people were filled to the Holy Spirit and volunteered, not forced. And that's a huge distinction. If people want to form their own community and voluntarily work together towards their own common goals and engage in these sorts of practices, that's absolutely fine. I have no issue with that. It becomes an issue when you send in the men with guns and say, you're giving us this and we're going to redistribute it. And it's a heavy love for Christians even to do it.

Sorry, Lance. I see people conflate the two, and it's just a false equivalence because it's just the difference between theft and charity. It's the force of government taking it from people versus giving freely. Yes. It makes all the difference in the world. And it's a difficult thing to do. It was done in the early church, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and it is something

that is very, very difficult for. humans to be able to execute. And we have seen this over and over again. Through the 1800s, you had a lot of utopian communities that were based on what sounded like Christian principles and things like that. As a matter of fact, I remember somebody did a survey, and they asked a lot of people, you know, man on the street type of thing, you know, about from each according to his ability and to each according to his need and asked them where that was from. A large number of people thought that was from the Bible. And you're right. That does. fit if it is voluntary, right? But if you've got a gun to your head, that's not what we're talking

about. And that's one of the things that we need to always keep in mind when we look at keeping separate state and church. And I say that, I know that's not in the Constitution, but I don't want to merge the two. Whenever we do that, it always harms Christian life. Whenever you merge it with politics, what happens is you wind up a point. politics. It kills the Christian side of it. And that's what happens with the forced welfare state. It kills the Christian side of it, the voluntary giving and the joy of doing that is now compulsory. And the people who are getting the stuff demand it because they say they're entitled to it. They don't want to see it as charity. They find that to be an offense. It robs both parties,

one of the party of being able to experience the joy of giving. As you said, the other, of the joy of thankfulness for that of being you know entitlement is such a nasty grasping emotion you know you feel that you deserve this and you should be allowed to take it whereas being thankful being able to really sit down and be thankful for what you have been given is such it's if you can do that it's a wonderful wonderful blessing to be able to see that people have given that to you and that god is the one that inspired them to do that it can be a very very wonderful thing for both parties that was really driven home to me like i said when i got up and spoke against Hillary care. And boy, did they get up so? I talked about charity, you know, and there was,

there was, I don't know how it is today, with the corporations taking over the medical profession, but back in the day, there were doctors would donate a lot of their time to help people who were poor and, you know, various things like that. And we had a society that was built around that. That's what Alexis de Tocqueville talked about when he came to America. And we talked about democracy in America, the central difference between that and the, you know, and the Socialism that he left in France was the fact that the Americans have voluntarily come together and build what was needed. I was sorry, I was just looking for that book, Democracy and America.

It's in this room somewhere. I saw it just the other day. Looking around, yeah. Maybe it's flying. I don't know. I know I saw it, Democracy and America is somewhere in here. It exists. Yeah, yeah, it is. Well, we're going to take a quick break.

We're not going to look for the book, but we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Stay with us. It's on one of the shelves right behind dead. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, we'll see if we can find it there. When we come back, we're going to talk about Trump's move again to the Federal Reserve and why he's doing this thing. But this is not an illegitimate move that he's talking about with this Fed governor. There really is fraud, corruption, and illegal activities. We'll talk about that when we come back. I don't know Oh my

Oh my Oh my I'm Oh Oh I'm I'm I'm

I'm I'm I'm Oh! You're listening to the David Knight Show. We're going to be able to be. I don't know. I know.

I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Am I? Sorry, Jefferson.

The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy, despicable. This is outrageous. Washington, I spent my life fighting centralized power. Now the Federal Reserve Monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money. Tell me there's some good news to all this. Well, there is a coin they can't control, one that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the Fed up. the all-new David Night Show commemorative coin.

Now Patriots can support a show that won't sell out with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly. They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to. The truth doesn't need inflation, only support. Well, Tony is going to be joining us at the bottom of the hour, and we're going to be talking about the Fed and monetary policy. But it's kind of interesting to watch the moves that Trump is making against the Federal Reserve. He would like to get rid of the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, but he cannot remove him at will.

In other words, he can't just fire him because he doesn't want him there anymore. He has to have a reason. And so we saw this back and forth and the Trump surrogates were also complaining about statements that Powell had made to Congress about their exorbitant remodeling that's going on. That is yet another example of the kind of corruption and luxury that we see out of Washington. They have this incredibly expensive gilding that's going on with their building. And they said he reported that incorrectly. So we need to come after him for perjury.

And some people, I think, actually, one member actually recommended him for charges, you know, coming at perjury. And I looked at that, and as I said, you know, James Clapper lied to the American people under oath when he was talking to Congress, and they never filed charges for him. The whole thing ended after five years with statute limitations. Nobody ever came after him about that, but they want to because they said, well, there are some differences in the reality in the way that you portrayed this remodeling, and so we want to come after you with that. They would like to be able to remove him. they can do that for cause. So they can come up with some criminal charges they could remove Powell, but he can't just do it because he wants to get rid of him.

The same thing is true of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. And so it is kind of interesting. I think they're setting up to remove this federal governor, Lisa Cook. And it turns out that she actually has committed a crime. It was a mortgage fraud. and she has responded after Trump tweeted this out, said she needs to resign. She tweeted this out, said, I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet.

I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve, and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts. So Zerohead says, well, here's one quick question. Did you break the law or not? Because she did. And there is a paper trail that shows that she did. They've produced the documents that she signed. What she did was she falsified bank documents and property records to get more favorable loan terms,

potentially committing mortgage fraud under a criminal statute. So here's your cause. He can't get rid of a lot of these people, but this is one point. person who, as I said at the beginning of the program, was appointed by Joe Biden. You could look at her as a DEI pick, first black woman to be put in the Federal Reserve, and that's where the people are going to draw the line to defend her. But what she did was actually indefensible because it was a criminal fraud that she committed with this. She has now become a hawk against interest rates, and so Trump would like to get her removed. So she took out two

loans almost at the same time one of them in Michigan another one in Atlanta on a condo on both of these she said they were going to be her primary residence you can only have one primary residence to start with to and then two weeks after she got the property in Atlanta she um sorry two weeks apart with these two mortgages and then she put the property in Georgia up for rental showing that it was not going to be her residence. But by making the declaration that it was going to be her primary residence, of course, that gets her better terms on her loan than she would if it was going to be an investment property. So they have a clear record for her. The letter that was sent out as part of the criminal referral letter includes copies of mortgage documents and her name, as well as an apparent

rental listing a little over a year after she bought the Georgia property. So she buys these two properties two weeks apart, two different states, and then after one year, she starts renting the Georgia property. So she was nominated to the Fed by Biden, as I said before. And her term does not expire until 2038. But if she wants to stay there, she better be ready to fight some criminal charges, I think. It is, they want somebody, they can, they want to remove some of these people. And so they are going through their lives so they find tooth comb. This is what it's like now in Washington. You know, you get into office and both the Democrats and the Republicans will look over your life with a fine tooth comb and try to put you in jail. Musk has had pledged, this came out

yesterday. We talked about this. Said, what ever happened to that third party that Musk was talking about? Now there's, he's telling people that he wants to get behind J.D. Vance. Well, of course he does because J.D. Vance is a technocracy dude that they put in there. He's going to be more compliant probably than Trump is for the technocracy. Yeah, he's Peter Thiel's boy. He's his guy.

Yeah. He's part of the Peter Thiel Mafia. Teal made J.D. Vance. So this is we're saying yesterday. There's been crickets about third party stuff. Well, now, you know, later that day, they spoke about it. Musk has told allies that he wants

to focus his attention on his companies, And he's reluctant to alienate powerful Republicans by starting a third party that could siphon off GOP votes. So now he's going to play nice, and he's going to get behind J.D. Vance. That's probably going to hurt J.D. Vance with Trump. But, yeah, so as we look at this robot, as we move to our robot world in the factories, I think in China, they just had a robot arm that nearly decapitated a man. And they said it's probably the surgeons who did it are patting themselves on the back. It sounds like it was a horrific thing.

And essentially internally did decapitate him. The only thing that was still connected was some soft tissue. It severed his spinal cord and his neck there, his cervical vertebrae, completely severed. Critical arteries were damaged, only soft tissue held his head to his body. and so he came in that also caused him to have a heart attack came in an unbelievably bad condition they talked about how complicated it was

for the human surgeons to be able to fix him and this article I thought it was kind of interesting on Zero Hedge they immediately go from the dangers of a robotic arm to the dangers of arming robots and they started talking about China using militarized robots

that was kind of interesting sequitur I think robot nearly to Caputates man, and a gruesome surgery, fail. And it actually wasn't, the headline is not accurate. It wasn't, when I first looked at that, I thought they had robotic surgery that was going on. I thought the same thing, too, until I read the article. But it was actually, it was an amazing success in terms of surgery. And it was not robotic surgery.

It was a guy who was injured in the factory there. If you are online at all, the factory conditions in China, there's tons of videos. of people being mangled and killed, and just the conditions they work in are horrific. There is no safety standard at all, and people are continually being grievously harmed or just, as I said, killed. They have no regard for people in China. They have a massive population base, so if one of them falls into the, you know, whatever it is and gets absolutely torn to pieces, well, there's another guy that's waiting

for the job right now. Well, and there's a long history of the Chinese, being ruthless and brutally cruel in terms of the people that they govern. And it's only become worse when they mix it in with communism. It's also amazing. China has always had, or seems to have always had a massive, massive population base. You'll read about these small battles that they'll say are small battles that barely have a footnote in history. And it'll be like, oh, yeah, 100,000 people died.

And it's just, what? 100,000 dead? 10,000 cannibalized? What are you guys doing there? Yeah. It's baked into their culture, this disregard for human life. Disregard for life in general, you can just kind of see it through, it permeates everything. They have this just kind of apathy towards existence. You know, someone dies, well, whatever. Yeah, yeah. So it's been there for a very long time. And just real quickly, while we're talking

about politics, the Trump administration has announced who the new number two at the FBI is going to be. And the question is, what happened to Bongino? And there's actually no word about Bonginos. They have announced his successor before they have announced that he is going to be leaving. I thought that was kind of funny. But that's the way it is in Washington right now. This, I thought, was incredibly interesting. The lawsuit between Smartmatic and Fox Corporation. Now, you know, Fox already paid a massive settlement of like three quarters of a billion dollars to the other Voting Machine Company Dominion that Fox was talking about. And now the lawsuit between Smartmatic and Fox has started up.

And as part of discovery, they're getting documents. And some of the documents that were internal conversations in Fox News have been released to the public. And I think it gives us an interesting insight. These are memos from Janine Piro, Jesse Waters, Maria Bartaromo. They all seem to have different motivations, but the same goal. They all wanted to help President Trump. As a matter of fact, this one I thought was very interesting. This was a memo from Jesse Waters sent to Greg Gutfield,

and he said, think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went all in on Stop the Steel. Stop the Steel was Alex Jones' thing. you know it was uh and basically it was kind of interesting to see that fox news was so much like think about how hard we could grift yeah it's so much like info wars it's all about the audience and it's about the money and it's about their ratings and so you know they're going to this is what jesse waters was saying you know hey we could uh our ratings would soar if we jumped in on this stop the seal stuff and that was exactly the calculus that was going on with alex jones and the rest of the stuff and

And Janine Piroe, who has now been put in as the attorney for the District of Columbia, said, I worked so hard for the president and party. And she was also mentioned her husband who had been convicted of tax fraud and some other things. And she did get a pardon for him. And she got a position as a federal attorney there in D.C. from Alex, not Alex Jones, but from Donald Trump. Hundreds of pages of documents, largely newly unredacted versions of previously released ones, filed on Tuesday in the New York State Supreme Court.

Smartmatic is accused Fox News of knowingly implicating the company and false claims of vote rigging in the 2020 election for ratings. And these comments going back and forth seem to support that. But of course, on the other side, Fox News, news is getting records of the history of smartmatic. And as I said before, smartmatic has a long history of helping Hugo Chavez. They've been questioned and there's been hearings and massive controversy in other countries like the Philippines and in Brazil where they were accused of fraud in those areas. That's all a matter of fact and history. And Fox could have portrayed it that

way. But they decided they're going to make this about just, you know, sucking up to Trump. Another thing that has come out is the fact that even in the Biden Department of Justice, they were going to indict Smartmatic for bribery of elected officials to put their machines in at a higher price. So there's not any good guys in any of this stuff. You give us a premium and, well, maybe we make sure the votes flip a certain sort of way here for you. Yeah. Now, the way that Smartmatic is portraying this is they're saying that after the MAGA people got mad with Fox for calling Arizona for Biden, they started passing these memos around saying things like, hey, if we got on Trump's side, we could be number one in ratings and all the rest of stuff. And they have a memo from Murdoch to the Fox News chief executive at the time, Suzanne Scott. In the days after election, he said, we're getting creamed by CNN. Guess our viewers don't want to. to watch it, meaning the election returns. And so, you know, there is evidence that that was what was going on.

But last August, when Biden was in office, the Biden Department of Justice charged three current and former executives at Smartmatic with bribing an election official from the Philippines so the company could win a contract providing voting machines for the country's 2016 elections. So this is a company that has a very, very, very, storied past of corruption and wreaking elections and bribery and all the rest of the stuff. It's going

to be an interesting trial as the dirty laundry comes out against both sides, I think. We're going to see just how corrupt us all. Maybe the good news is the solution, of course, is paper ballots, and maybe that will be something that will come out of this. People will just say, I've had it with the voting machine and stuff.

I'm incredibly surprised they actually went ahead with the lawsuit, just given what both parties have to lose in discovery. The amount of dirty info that has to be out there on these groups well that's what people said about trump you know if trump wants to sue people because what they reported about him and geoffrey upstein it's like do you realize what discovery's going to look like for you you got to turn over everything yeah same thing with milania and her threats a billion dollar lawsuits against these democrats from hunter

biden to james carvel you know they want to threaten them with these large lawsuits guess what discovery is going to look like but of course if you take the attack that Alex did you just don't comply with discovery and that's what he did and then they found the the evidence that he said he didn't have was sent by his lawyer to the opposing counsel and and yet everybody seemed to ignore that I thought that was a pretty big issue it was kind of as Alex said a Perry Mason moment you don't actually get those in real life fact check this crap said One of the emails that was there, in addition to the ones I've talked about where they were going back and forth talking about how they could be number one in ratings, you had an email from Brett Baer.

He urged Fox News Executive Jay Wallace to express dismay at the election coverage provided by Maria Bartaromo. He said, none of that is true as far as we can tell, he said. We need to fact-check this crap. Well, that would have gotten him fired at InfoWars. that evidently that's that's the difference of fox news they uh they did not fire bret bret bear but who knows why that guy is dull and uninteresting well at least he was focused on on what was true and he was on the right side of that issue that was there i gotta say um and then finally we have this we have this is from the daily mail a secret gay sex scandal has

exploded in the republican party uh it's kind of interesting when you look at look at the Republican Party and how they close ranks around the pedophiles. As I said before, GOP stands for guarding our pedophiles. And they said this is a guy who has gone to the press. He is a male prostitute in D.C. And he wouldn't name any names, but he said, you wouldn't believe how many Republican officials there are here that are closeted and living this secret.

double life. I would. I believe it. Yeah. I mean, you go back and look, Jay Edgar Hoover, we have Roy Cohen, who was allied with Joe McCarthy,

and allied, again, he was a mentor of Donald Trump. People like Dennis Hastert, they got a long history of that. What I thought was interesting is they said when the Republicans had their convention in Minnesota last year, the big Republican convention that was there.

Grindr, which is a homosexual hookup app, as traffic went up 160%. Well, that's kind of, yeah. So as I pointed out, they said the, the 2024 platform from the GOP last year dropped their concerns about homosexual marriage, or as many of us call it, same-sex mirage. That was done at the behest of Don and Melania. because they have embraced that very heavily. As we pointed out before, when he ran in 2020, his merchandise, he was selling a lot of rainbow merchandise.

I think it's amazing. You know, when you have corporations do that, you have people organize the same MAGA people organize a boycott against them. But when Trump and Melania do it, there's silence about that. And when they use Mar-Lago as an award ceremony for Log Cabin Republicans, there's no talk about that at all. And there is no memory of the fact that Trump was at the very forefront of pushing male transgenders. He wanted one of them in his beauty contest that he owned, Miss Universe.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has called same-sex Mirage the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy. He once described homosexuality as, quote, inherently unnatural. dangerous lifestyle. I finally agree with Mike Johnson on something. I don't know that he would do anything about it. Trump himself is widely considered personally tolerant, even welcoming towards gay people, and they welcome him and Melania as well. As I said, with the pride merchandise and the awards that are held in Marlago. LifeSite News is about the only site that I saw a report what was happening with that. Everybody else pretty much ignored it. Trump is also a a fan of the village people, the gay disco group, they say. The homosexual hookup ad, as I said,

had 160% increase, Grindr did. And they say, this is coming from Daily Mail, and they talk about some state representatives that have been caught in massive hypocrisy. But, you know, interestingly, they do not talk about the big cases, the national cases. Dennis Hastert, who was Speaker of the House for a very long time. Mark Foley, who he also covered for, who had the page scandal, the congressional pages. These were people who were in both of these cases, Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley were pedophiles. And I'm assuming that that's the reason why the left here in this publication did not want to talk about that because they didn't want to draw any connection between pedophilia and homosexuality, except that was there in both of their cases. And these guys are

both living this secret life that is in contradiction, not only to the law, but to what they publicly say. And so they then proceed in this thing to pat Democrats on the back because they're not hypocrites. For once, you know? Yeah. Well, anyway, yeah, they cheer this kind of stuff. They have a quote from George Santos, of course, who said, you can be gay and conservative.

And, of course, George Santos and Charlie Kirk agree on. that you know that's that's the problem i have with charlie kirk uh this guy can go around he can suck up to trump and trump junior and all the rest of them as much as he wants that's politics right but when he goes around and presents himself as a christian apologist and he's going to tell people about god and about christ and then he does that at his conventions uh he appears and defends a homosexual guy that's there and says, oh, you can be conservative and be gay. You know, I have a big problem with that. And this is a problem that has been infesting the GOP for decades at this point.

I know there's a big societal problem. And if Charlie Kirk wants to embrace Christ publicly for these types of things, he needs to not be a hypocrite about some of these issues. I mentioned before, but Shaby 5 brought it up in chat as well about the Franklin Savings and Loan scandal. Yes. And this is something that has largely disappeared from the Internet. If you Google it, you're not going to find much info on it.

And that was largely the Bush administration and Republicans around him as well. The guy who was largely involved at Larry King, he's still alive, lives somewhere around D.C. Now, they got him on some kind of, you know, fraud when it comes to banking or whatever. Never charged for any of this. But he sang at the RNC, the National Anthem, twice. Hmm. You know, four years, you know, later after the first time. Yeah.

This is the type of people the GOP is filled up with. This was the guy that was supplying young boys to people that were in the White House. Oh, yeah, that's true. Well, they pointed out, and I did not know this. In the late 1970s, California conservatives pushed what they called the Briggs Initiative that would bar gay and lesbian teachers from government schools. And they said, Ronald Reagan opposed that as governor. So this goes for a very long time.

you are not going to get any real reform of this of this cancer on our society you're going to have to take your kids out of school there is no republican saviors that are going to be there there's nobody that really stands for christian principles that includes charlie kirk and these people who are on the side uh and it was during that period log cabin republicans formed and now they are closely connected to the uh to the trump family um there was um Also, I'll just same, same issue here, you have in the Utah State Legislature, you have the guy who was head of the Utah Senate. Let's see, let me see if I can find this thing here. He was head of the Utah Senate, and he suggested, this is kind of interesting, the Senate president, Jay Stewart Adams, inspired a change in state law that reduced the penalty for cases in which an 18-year-old, who was still enrolled in high school, has consensual sex with a 13-year-old. And they put consensual in air quotes because it should be there. You can, that's the whole point. The reason that we have these laws is because when you're that young, you can't consent to it, which means

that you also can't consent to having your body mutilated with chemicals or surgery and that type of thing. You just don't have the judgment to be able to consent. And so, this is a situation again an 18 year old high school boy and a 13 year old girl turns out that this senate president j stewart adams had a relative who was the 18 year old boy who had been charged with coming after a 13 year old girl which is kind of interesting and they noticed that in the local papers at the time the law was changed he reportedly had an 18 year old relative who was facing charges of child rape for having sex with a 13 year old They said, the Salt Lake Tribune published an article said Utah's Senate president prompted law change that helped a teen who was charged with child rape.

The law was not retroactive, meaning that his relatives still faced the original charges of child rape and not a reduced charge. However, the judge, the prosecutor, and the defense attorney in Adams' relatives' case reportedly all agreed that the legislative change did, impact how the charges were resolved and the relative's plea deal. So here we have some legislation that just happens to look exactly like his 18-year-old relative who's in a lot of trouble. It lessened the penalty, but the age of consent was not changed by this law. That's the kind of corruption that we see in politics, whether we're looking at the state level or whether we are looking at the federal level. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Stay with us.

Thank you. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. And I'm going to I'm going to be. I'm going to see. I'm going to be able to be.

And so on the I'm going to be. I'm going to be the same. And so on the other, I'm going to be. Thank you. Liberty, it's your move. And now, the David Knight Show.

If you like the Eagles, on a dark desert highway, the cars, and Huey Lewis in the news, they say the hotter rock or roars to be. You'll love the classic hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSRadio.com. Welcome back. We've got a lot of comments here. We're currently

waiting on Tony Arterburn. We'll be joined by him shortly. But Radisbro, thank you very much for the tip. That's very generous and very kind. It says most people don't know Waters and Owen Troyer are good friends. And so that push was from Alex Jones to get mainstream to get in on Stop the Steel. Huh, didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that they knew each other either. But of course, to me, stop the seal, the interesting thing about stop the steel. And, you know, Roger Stone came up with that name from the 2016 campaign because there was going

to be a move to try to stop Trump at the Republican convention, if you remember. And so that's why he started calling it stop the steel. He brought that back up. And he had some people who were following him around at the time in 2020, who were doing a documentary. And they got it on camera that He said, this is going to be, we're going to raise money on this so easily. It's going to be like falling off a log. And that was what it was all about, folks. And to me, it's amazing that the people who organized this thing, the people who promoted it so heavily that even Fox News,

everybody was talking about Stop the Steel. The dog that did not bark is the fact that there was no indictment for them when there was an indictment for all these other J-Sixers. It's pretty clear they wanted to protect certain people. and that the system wanted those people to continue to mislead their followers. Yeah. S.A. Miller, one, two, three. Trump is a very confused individual, doesn't know what religion he is,

and is trying to negotiate peace talks to get him into heaven, shaking my head. Yeah, that's, I saw Franklin Graham responded to that, and he said, yeah, Trump is right. We are saved by works. It's not our works, though. It's Christ works. And that's the difference between Christianity and every other religion. Every other religion, they come up with a series of things for you to do. Sometimes it's kind of vague and ill-defined.

Sometimes it's incredibly specifically detailed. That's the way it is with the rabbis and the laws that they, rules that they come up with. They're incredibly detailed about what you're allowed to do or not do, Sabbath and things like that. But the Christian religion is about the free gift of grace coming from. from the Lord Jesus Christ, what he did on our behalf and what he gave to us. That's the big difference with it.

And we have people, even within the Christian religion, that have difficulty accepting and understanding that as well. I just got a text from Tony. He says he's going to have to reschedule. They're doing construction in front of his house, and it is just so loud that the audio would not be acceptable. Okay, that's fine. Well, we'll continue on with what we had.

We had some interesting things. One of them is... We do have one more comment, though, if you don't mind. Sure. Assyrian girls says, I was reading a book on Chinese history and had to stop the viciousness of the Chinese governments to their people has always been way beyond all the evils perpetrated by Western governments. Chinese history versus Western history shows the value of Christianity, even when it is

only half-heartedly adhered to. We may have a situation where China may be a more Christian nation than the United States in the not-too-distant future. They are building really strong people in their house churches. And they are, you know, whenever you have Christianity suffering under persecution like that, it builds some really, you get the dead wood that is typically there under soft circumstances like we have. And you only have people who are truly committed, people who are true believers. And that's really what's happening in China.

You may already have more Christians in China than you do in the U.S. in terms of sheer quantity, yeah. But in terms of quality, you probably have much stronger Christians in China than you do in the U.S. as well. Yes, it is a value of Christianity and shows the softening effect

it can have on people. I also think it has to do with a lot of Western philosophy and the fact that a lot of other countries have never even sat down and considered rights at all. It is simply you exist and whoever has more power than you is in control. They don't give any thought to what your duty is to your fellow man and what it might makes right you see that very very much

in eastern philosophies and i'm afraid you're seeing that in the west now they don't really care about principles nobody on either side of this thing cares about free speech they just want to get the other side you know that's the thing we keep coming back to we got one more here skunk hollow rose garden thank you for the tip says best chat this side of marlago well Is that high praise? I don't know. B.T. Taylor 246, the fact that pedos get off with such light sentences is proof our government is run by pedos. Yeah, that sounds very true.

Well, this is kind of an interesting story. This is the women's NBA, the WNBA players, have turned down a pay boost that would have raised the minimum salary for players in the league from 66,000 to 250,000. And the thing that makes this interesting is the fact that the league has never made money and they're losing money at a bigger rate now. They're subsidized by the NBA. This is again, they want to be paid what they're worth. I think probably they would be paid nothing because they're losing money. I truly do not. I don't follow sports in general, but at least with the NBA, you can kind of make a case for it.

Like, oh, they're at the top of their skill level. These guys are the best at what they do. You know, they're very quick. They're very fast. It's a very fast-paced game. Certainly the tallest people. Yeah. Yeah, they get points for that.

And so, you know, there's something to be said for that. The WNBA has none of that. Being the best, you know, female basketball player, you're probably going to get outdone by some, you know, varsity. Maybe junior varsity team. Yeah. And you might get outdone just, you know, by a standard high school team. Well, they considered this offer to be a, quote, slap in the face. I said, even though the proposed numbers would have represented the largest,

salary leap in league history. I said for context, the WNBA has never turned a profit in its 29-year history. Annual losses hovered around $10 million before Caitlin Clark, but now they have ballooned to nearly $50 million in 2024, even as revenues grew past $200 million. So they got revenues of $200 million, and yet they have losses of $50 million. I mean, that's a tremendous, you know, that's like 25% of their net gross is their loss. That is pretty poorly run, but evidently they're giving Caitlin and some other celebrities really, really big salaries that have run up the red ink.

The league survives because the NBA owns roughly 60% of it and has consistently subsidized operations since 1997. So they... Very generous. Yeah, they've done that, I think, to avoid. criticism of sexism and things like that, but it's not paying its way. Now, the players said this was a slap in the face because they said it's not the money. We want a percentage of the profits like the NBA players do. You have to generate profits first. Yeah, exactly. That's my thing.

What is the percentage of profits if you've got negative profits? I mean, are the offering to pay? Yeah, exactly. That would mean that they would have to pay to play. Yeah. The WNBA players need to pay to play. And that would be the reality of it. I guess you could say that their profit sharing is net zero because you've got to have some budget points before they can do it. Critics say that point out that the WMBA has a shorter schedule than the NBA. They have 44 games and they only have 10 minute quarters instead of 15 minute quarters. They have limited playoff rounds. And they say that's one of the reasons why their salaries shouldn't scale anywhere near NBA levels. But Of course, it's amazing to me to see that this, anything you can do, I can do better attitude is still there in the era that we have seen what happens when you have just mediocre men pretend that they're women and compete in a sport.

And blow out the records. Yeah. I mean, when I was growing up, they did everything they can to try to deceive people. And I remember, you know, Billy Jean King and you had Bobby Riggs that staged match. And people at the time who knew. Bobby Riggs said that he threw that for the money because he had already had matches with other he was retired he was an older male guy who again was not at the top of the league when he was at his prime and now he's retired and older but he was still able to beat some of these

current women's professionals and they staged that and made a big deal of the fact that he threw the game to her because Jimmy Carners also did one after that and he skunked another tennis pro female tennis pro who was again at the top of her game at the time and there had been others that were out there so they took this one match and they focused on that almost exclusively ignoring all the rest of the stuff but now that we've had this outrage from women about women in sports being skunked by men trannies you know it's amazing that we still have this type of thing happening yeah really thought that was going to be the one good thing to come of the insanity nobody will never come to their senses but no i underestimate the power of their

double think they can simultaneously hold that you know trannies are destroying them in sports which they were, of course, and are to some extent still. And also that women are just as good as men. Yeah, yeah. It's like the MAGA people who hate the MRNA, they hate the lockdowns, they hate the mask, but they can't connect the dots and will not connect the dots to Trump. It's a real clear case. You also see this sort of thing with feminists and the fact that they want to portray

and have all men viewed as, you know, potential rapists and threats and they're evil and violent. You have to be continually scared of them. But also, women are just as strong and power. And you can't have it both ways. If you need to be afraid and you need to be fearful of men, that means that what? Men are bigger, faster, stronger, and a danger to you. You can't have it both ways. You have to pick one, at least.

Which, again, I don't think the average man is out there trying to be heinous to women. I think Orwell was on to something when he came up with the term double think, don't you? Truly, we say it everywhere. In Nova Scotia, the government there has approved. glyphosite spraying on 3,57 acres of drought-stricken fire-prone forest. Now, glyphoset is sprayed under these forests, and it kills deciduous trees, and it kills pretty much everything except the pine trees that are there. And so it doesn't create a, it kills the forest, essentially, and you wind up with just one

species of tree that grows there but it also creates a fire hazard even for those trees and so you've got the press there that found out about this and engaged the premier of nova scotia and asked them some questions about it and he just pleaded ignorance about it premier tim houston had an exchange with a halifax examiner they asked them they said herbicide spraying has been has been ended but because of concern is that obviously the herbicides kill growth and add to the fuel burden potential fire burden is it spraying on now or has that been stopped and he says well i don't know if there's any spraying that's going on at the moment certainly not banned for all time not in our province if it's been temporarily ceased i'm not sure really what's going on so he doesn't know and the

interesting thing about this was that they were doing this in the forests previously and they would report and tell people the areas where they were doing this so people could stay out and not be sprayed themselves and not come into direct contact with it. As I've said before, we had a dog that died a particular type of leukemia that is associated strongly with glyphosate. And I believe that it was from one of these chemical lawn spraying companies that our neighbors used. They would come out and spray their lawn and then put signs up, keep pets and dogs off of it, And our particular dog was a master of escape who loved, he was able to get out. And he did get out, and he got into that grass.

He liked to roll into it and to eat it more than any other dog I've ever seen. And so he got the same kind of cancer that you saw farm workers getting from using Roundup. But they have taken the approach to not ban the spraying, but to ban citizens from the forests. It looks like Robin Hood. yet again they even call it the crowns forests and i say you're not allowed into these forests period so you've got people i think it's in the article lance you can show the pictures of people putting large signs on the ground saying do not spray us don't spray they've got it down on the ground really large signs and they're very concerned about they said there is no consumption there's to be no consumption

of berries and fruit within the spray sites remainder of the greener growing season. And as I said before, what was interesting about this was that prior to the last couple of years, going back to 2023, prior to that, they would always list the areas that they were going to be spraying with glyphosate. They had it online, but the people, the industry group that is selling the glyphosate spray asked that that be taken down. And so they deep-sixed it. they memory hold so that people can't see the areas that they're going to be spraying or know when they are going to be spraying it there. Aerial spraying on private land would not fall under the wildfire travel restrictions as they now stand, but it's not clear whether herbicide spraying

would be allowed on crown land as industrial forestry uses it as a form of silviculture, which I don't know what that is. They say it is permitted at night. So there you go. We are going back into a feudal system, aren't we? You know, you're not allowed to go onto the crown's land. No, this is our forest. You may not enter it. That's right. These are the kings, dear.

Well, we know that it is going into a kind of a feudal system and a system of tyranny. The EU has got a so-called media freedom law that is about to take effect. And this European media freedom law, which took effect last Friday, they said it's a debate over which media is going to get the safeguards. And they openly came out, Reuters and others, said, we're very concerned about the fact that you have very large online platforms. And so they created an acronym out of that called VLOPs, VLOPs, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, those types of things.

They said, people are getting their news from that. And so you need to make sure that you punish YouTube if they don't promote mainstream media. That was the mainstream media approach. And so what they did was they said that they had to not put any restrictions, algorithmic, or otherwise to downgrade the reports coming from mainstream media. So in order to avoid the appearance of that, of course, YouTube and Facebook and others will make sure that they promote mainstream media if they didn't before under penalty of financial penalty. And so the quote from Reuters was that it has contributed to a fragmented alternative media

environment that is filled with podcasters, YouTubers, and TikTokers. Don't worry, they've done their best to exclude me. So, you know. We're only one out of those three. That's right. And it's not just making sure that you're getting the mainstream Mockingbird press promoted to you. The EU is going to be scanning your chat. by this October.

Again, the paranoia of the tyrants that is there. Now, they say that they're doing this because they want to cut down on child sexual abuse. So they want to scan all the chats. This is all happening the same week that the Trump administration sent this Israeli cyber security guy back to Israel, who was doing exactly this. So they always use this stuff. And they talk about it as being chat control. A big push coming out of Denmark to do this. Some of the European countries are not fully on board with this, but they will be.

And when we look at the pedophilia that is rampant in all of these different governments, you know that they're just using that as a fig leaf to do the kind of surveillance that they always wanted to do. That's what this is ultimately about. It's just another McGuffin. It's always the same. end goal, no matter which tack they're coming at it from. Is it for the kids? Is it for to save the environment? Either way, you're losing freedoms. You're losing your liberties. They're going to lock you down the 15-minute city agenda. Well, they're not locking down their borders.

And when you see the massive numbers of people that are being brought into the UK, Germany, and France, that type of thing. Lance, show the video of how some of these farmers have handled the massive number of migrants that have come in and squatted on their land, they gave them some of the, they call it the honey truck. Oh, no. Look at this. They got all these people just moved on to their land and decide that they're going to live on the land of the farmers.

So the farmers go out and get the trucks that spray manure. They use that to great effect there in the Netherlands too, I think, when you had Mark Ruta try to shut down the farms. They brought out money of the poo and the honey tree, I guess. But this is the fight that's going on between farmers and squatters, and this is in France.

They really do want to shut down our farms, don't they? That's truly amazing. Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. And when we come back, we're going to talk about some financial issues, so stay with us. You know, I'm going to do.

You know, I'm going to be, and I'm going to be, and I'm going to be. I'm going to be able to be. analyzing the globalist next move and now the David Nutschow. Well, welcome back. We're going to talk about the fact that Trump has snapped up more than $100 million in bonds since taking office. We'll talk about what that means. and maybe perhaps why he is doing that, as well as what is happening with stable coins.

But before we do, I want to thank the people who support this program. These are some of the August checks that we just got in. Let me read off their first names and their last initial. Scott C. H.D. from NC, North Carolina. David and Ann Marie N. Aaron W. John R. Monica S. Helen T.

Minor Mike. and I have a letter from minor mic I want to talk about here. Peter G. Charles Larry P. Charles with APS Radio. N. Z. Timothy W. Margaret, Mary T. Marty of I'm Marty. T.K. from Ohio.

Sylvia D. James F. William G. David and Deborah W. Thank you so much for your support. And these are mostly people who have supported us continuously. I want to give you this information from mine or Mike because he's asked for prayers as well as the Modern Retro Radio. They're both facing issues with their businesses here. He says, I apologize for not sending more money sooner, but my small mining company has been

sued in federal court by an organized crime group. They're trying to steal my property and equipment with the help of a complicit federal judge. These criminals have been running a fraudulent stock. selling mining scam since 2009, they want me gone because I have shined light on their 60 plus million dollar scheme. There are many servants of the dark side in this world. I'm confident that in the end the truth will prevail and God will win over evil. And so please keep minor Mike in your prayers. He has been someone who has been very generous and kind in his support of us. but we're going to see more and more issues.

Of course, this is not about the economy in general, but I think we're going to see more and more issues of people that are going to be having issues because of the economy. We certainly saw that back in 2020 and 21, so many people that were faced with losing their job because they didn't want to take the jab. And so please keep them in your prayers. There's Audi at MRR, Modern Retro Radio, and Miner Mike as well.

When we look at Trump, he has been accumulating bonds extensively. They don't know exactly how much. This is an estimate that it is $100 million in bonds. It's been 690 transactions that have taken place since he took office. About 700 transactions in about six months. That's several a day. The documents were made public on Tuesday. According to CNBC calculations, the purchases had a total value of at least $100 million.

By law, the U.S. President, Vice President, and some other select officials must periodically declare reportable transactions. The precise value of these dealings does not, however, have to be reported. But what is Trump buying? We can see the kinds of things that he is buying. they said that for big purchases between $500,000 and a million dollars worth or things like T-Mobile, United Health, Home Depot, and others. Meta, he put in somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000. So he's buying commercial paper.

I wouldn't read too much into what these companies do, but I think when you look at the fact that he is buying bonds and commercial paper, I think that means that he's pretty confident that he's going to be able to get interest rates lowered because if interest rates go down, those bonds that he got at a higher interest rate are going to become even more valuable. So it's going to be yet another incentive for him to pull out all the stocks and to go for lowering interest rates. How will that affect us?

Well, it will affect us because inflation is going to make things like gold go up. I'm not so sure what's going to happen with Bitcoin. that's not necessarily, as we saw. Yeah, it doesn't track exactly like gold does. Yeah, I mean, gold is definitely the contrary trade to the dollar. Bitcoin is kind of a mixed bag. It's kind of its own thing. So I'm not really clear about what that's going to do, but that certainly does give us an insight.

And as I said before, we see that. He is eager to replace as many people as he can in the Federal Reserve, and he has to find some crimes to charge them with. It looks like he's found at least one person. We actually have a comment here from Angi Tiger about the bonds. Trump just invested $100 million in government bonds. Doesn't surprise me. Meanwhile, he's pushing lower interest rates to a weaker dollar.

He will make out like a bandit, insider trading at its finest. That's right, yeah. The rich get richer. This makes Nancy Pelosi like a small change when he goes out and buys $100 million worth of bonds. And again, the value is going to soar on those things because they'll have a higher yield. Nervous banking lobby is now fighting to change the Genius Act. And, of course, this is another area where the Trump family has made a very big investment. We've had Eric Trump talk about the fact that he thinks, and this was before they got the Genius Act put through,

he thought that banks, as we know them, were going to be extinct within 10 years. Why is that? Well, because they're going to be replaced with stable coins. And so the banking industry was kind of caught by surprise here. You got even people like J.P. Morgan's CEO, Jamie Diamond or Demon, I think is perhaps maybe the better pronunciation of his name. Even they are upset about what happened because they wanted to make sure that stable coins could not pay interest.

But the question is, what difference does it make when the banks aren't paying any interest? I mean, we've got Bank of America paying you like 0.001% interest on your savings accounts. They're not paying any interest. They're disinterested in giving you a return on your money. Yeah, yeah, Kaching. That's right. But anyway, this is the route that this is going to take. I don't like that idea because I like to have.

not that I'm a big fan of banks, but smaller local banks are very important, especially if you want to be able to buy things with cash. You're not going to be able to have any cash transactions if the banks go away killed by stable coins. That's going to accelerate the move to digital ID and trackable permission financial statements. So banks are really kind of local banks are going to be essential,

I think, for you to be able to be able to be able have cash transactions. You know, if a business is going to take the cash, they need to be able to take it back physically to a bank that's going to be nearby. That's the downside I see from this. Prominent members in the crypto industry have long argued that stable coin issuers should be allowed to offer users' interest. So this is the big fight going back and forth. But like I said the other day, when you look at the user's interest rates that they charge you when you borrow versus the essentially zero interest rate that they pay you when you put money in the bank. I really don't understand what the fight is over this, but it is the banks that have the target put on them.

Stable coin issuers, they want to prohibit them from paying any form of interest or yield in connection with the holding, use, or retention of such payment stablecoin. And again, when you look at the model for Tether, they buy federal use, reserve notes which pay interest and then they dole these you know the stable coins and the users have their stuff their their funds backed up supposedly by the Federal Reserve notes however the users would not get that interest that's one of the things that made the stable coins so profitable was that Tether would keep all that interest on the Federal Reserve notes and by buying the Federal Reserve notes they were

creating an international market for the federal bonds that the other countries central banks don't want to buy because they understand how we're gaming this, but individuals in other countries would want to buy these stable coins. So that's one way they back up their worthless fiat currency. So they said the ability for firms like exchanges to allow interest on stable coins is based on factors other than holding use or retention, as mentioned in the Genius Act. The word solely used in the Genius Act is, quote, a powerful legal limiter, and it really does mean that if there is any other basis for the deals, they probably don't qualify, said one person. As things stand, customer deposits allow banks to create a significant portion of the money supply through loans

and through lines of credit. Incentivizing a shift from bank deposits, and money market funds to stable coins would end up increasing lending cost and reducing loans to businesses and consumer households. That's the way the banking industry is fighting back on this. I said, well, you know, it's just going to mean that we're going to charge you more on loans and make the loans more difficult for you to get them. I'm seeing a lot of potential downside on this stuff in every different direction. I mean, it looks like they're setting us up for some really difficult times.

and it's how they're going to make sure that we own nothing. This is a part of the real big takedown that's coming. Again, we've talked about the fact that this is going to be used for tracking and tracing and they can immediately turn your wallet off. But there's so many other different things that like this are much more hidden and harder to consider how this interplays with the system that's already there and the ways they're going to utilize it. Well, it's this argument from 0-H says it's very unlikely that the crypto industry will accept any amendments to the Genius Act, the law that's already been passed. And I think that is true.

And I don't think that you're going to find anybody in the Trump administration that's going to want to have that happen either, because this is all about this oligarchy that Trump has around him and the money that they're going to make off of these stable coins. You know, this is going to be the new financial system that they're pivoting in. You know, Tony did a great job last Friday talking about Bretton Woods, too, that announcement that was made on August the 15th, 1971, we're going to come up to, I don't know if there'll be an announcement or if they'll just kind of de facto move into this new system. It's going to be there. But I would expect that it's going to happen pretty quickly, whether or not there is an announcement. I think even if it is

something that just kind of gradually evolves as a de facto move, I think it is still going to be pretty sudden when it happens. And I think all this stuff is going to be, they're going to make out like thieves that they are. And we're going to be left holding the bag. They do these things slowly at first. And once they have a large enough portion of the population on board to where once they flip the switch,

you're kind of forced to go along with them. Yeah, yeah. Once they get a, you know, they have some number in mind, probably someone does. Once we've got it established here, here, and here. Then immediately we can hammer it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, one of the people talking about this that's on the crypto side said people never wanted to use banks to make payments. They just had to. Now they don't have to. Just like digital music files were better than CDs. Well, that's a matter of opinion. I don't think so. They said disintermediated finance is better and easier than traditional banking. Well, you know, and I say that not because we're talking about necessarily whether the digital, Music that you download has the same quality or resolution as the CD that you had.

But there is something very important about having a physical media. And that's what we're ultimately talking about with the banking thing here. What makes them important is the connection to cash. If the local banks go away, there's not going to really be any way to manage this cash. This is an issue that's pervasive. If you do not have a physical copy of whatever it is, you don't actually own it. This has been shown time and time again.

I bring them up because they're an exemplar, but even something as silly as video games, something like the Steam store. You're technically kind of renting access to all the games you purchase on Steam. If you don't have it physically, you're going to wind up renting it, right? That's exactly.

They make it clear that, you know, if you were to die and say, to will your Steam library to your kids, no. No, they don't get it. That's in their terms of service. They are the holders of it. You're simply renting access.

from them and if they choose to take that away from you you have no recourse yes does that sound familiar everybody you'll own nothing right you'll rent everything you rent your home you'll rent your music you know everything will be rented that's the way they keep ultimate control of it and that's why it is important to have something that is physical it gives us some control and they want to divorce us from the physical in every regard well is gold ready to explode the fear trade says yes this is an article from zero hedges region the headline. But that is the key thing. You know, when you look at this and what happened with the stock market, we had a little bit of an up and down this week. The stock market right now is

been doing well. It's been inflated, mainly doing well because of just a handful of stocks like NVIDIA. And these are stocks that are connected with the AI bubble. And now you've got even people like Sam Altman talking about how the AI bubble is like the dot-com bubble. I I said from the very beginning, the dot-com bubble happened because everybody got so, they rushed into this thing and their minds ran away with all the things that were going to happen immediately with the Internet. Now, those things did eventually happen, but they didn't happen right away. And because you had this massive mob that got all hyped up about it, they were the ones who ran in and bid the price up. And that same type of person will look at it. and when it's not paying off and it's not happening because it's going to be down the road,

that same type of person will then run out the exit. And when they all start running out, that's when it's going to happen. So it will first happen with the AI stocks. That'll take down the stock market in general. And that's when you're going to see gold and silver rally. We already saw just a little bit of that as the U.S. stock indices sold off this last week. Gold and silver prices, solidly higher, went near midday. yesterday. And the question is, you know, when is that needle going to pop the AI bubble?

Everybody is talking about it now, even the people who are profiting from the AI bubble. UBS has raised the second quarter of 2026 gold price target to $3,600 an ounce. They say they see the strongest gold demand since 2011. So stop and think about that. If they're right, and we don't know if they're right. But if they're right, if it goes up from about 3,300 right now, to 3,600 in about four to seven months. You're talking about a 9% gain over those four to seven months. That's a pretty large annualized gain for something that is a very conservative investment. I still say that gold and silver is a great investment.

Go to David Knight-Dy gold, but I'll take you to Tony Artivan, and he can help you to acquire physical gold, physical silver. he can also help you if you want to put gold and silver into your IRA as well. Gold prices posted steady gains in overnight trading hit a session high of 3,350. So it's been slowly around the 3,300 level. And one person is saying, yeah, gold can float to 3,600, but it will not outperform silver and platinum. People are still expecting a big move from silver.

gold prices are holding their gains even as the federal open market committee minutes show that the Federal Reserve remains very hesitant to cut rates what they do is they meet in places like Jackson Hole Wyoming beautiful beautiful area yeah but yeah and very very very wealthy there as well but anyway you know when we went there they had these real estate offices that were like Sotheby's you know they're selling real estate as if it was like fine art or something in that area. Luxury real estate.

Oh, yeah, very luxurious. Anyway, they have their meetings there and then they decide what they're going to do about interest rates. And then a month or two later, what they do is they release the minutes of that meeting so people can see what the various governors are saying. This is one of the reasons why the Trump administration is going over the history of these Federal Reserve governors with fine-tooth cone to see if they can get any dirt on them, any crimes so they can remove them and put them in replace them with people who are going to be

compliant with Trump and supportive of what ever he wants to do and we know what he wants to do he wants to lower interest rates so markets are seeing an 82% chance of a rate cut in September so that's one of the reasons why gold is staying steady at this point so that's you know who knows what's going to happen in the future with it I just know that we want to have some honest money. We want to have physical money that is outside of their rig system that they are creating. It's going to be a very bad system for the rest of us. And we need to think about how we're going to try to get outside of it as much as possible. It was a, I think about this every once in a while when it was one of the times when I think you were sick back when we still

working in for us. Tony hosted the show. And some guy called in and asked like, well, you know, the government can just come in and take your gold and silver. It's just, that's not really They could technically come in and do that to anything. They can come in and just kill you. So why do anything at all? Again, gold and silver is a good store of value, and it's something you can have on hand. And it's something you can bury in a chest out back, if necessary,

and dig up later. The government can, you know. You can hide it better than you can any of the stuff that is electronic and these cryptocurrencies, except for some of the ones like Manero or Zano. Which are specifically built to be completely. private. But they have a pretty steep learning curve. And if you don't know what you're doing, you can have somebody steal that from me that's not even the government. That's my concern about

all this stuff that's electronic. I've exposed myself then to all of these clever thieves worldwide. And there's some pretty smart people who spend all their time following this stuff and you know the ins and outs and how they can hack into it. And we're constantly seeing systems being hacked into. The CIA's been hacked into. The NSA's been hacked into. The NSA's been hacked There is no such thing as a perfectly secure system. If it's attached to the internet, someone can find a way in and give them, it's just a matter of time. That's right. Even if it's something as simple as just a confidence attack where you send someone an email and say,

oh, I need this from you or that from you. If they're not trying to break an encryption, you know, all they need is someone's log in. All they need is one person who has a lapse in judgment and they can gain entrance to a system. Yeah. And it's going to be increasingly easy for them to use AI privately to deceive people as well. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come right back. Stay with us. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be.

I'm going to be. I don't know. I mean, . . . I'm gonna be. ...when

...and... ...and... ...and... ...the... ...or... ...and... ...and... ...and...

...and... You're listening to the David Knight Show. and the I'm going to be I'm going to I'm going to I'm I'm

the I'm We're going to be able to be. by the I'm going to be I'm going to I'm going I'm

You know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to I'm gonnae. On the One, and so, my...

...and... ...and... ...and... ...and... ...that... ...and... ...and... ...the...

...and... ...one... I'm going to be able to be able to be. Defending the American Dream, you're listening to the American Dream. You're listening to the David Night Show. Welcome back, folks. We've got some comments. Big Brit is back again. When we're talking about the WNBA, I assume, says most of them are men, so they want men's money. I don't know about that. Sprumford says, go to the Nova Scotia forest, come back with a little cancer. That's right. Just a little cancer. At least it won't be turbo cancer, right? Yeah, yeah. Tunnel Lord 1337, their desperation to watch us is an indication that they know they're on thin ice. They're scared. Yes.

Hopefully. And we're going to talk in this segment here about some of things that you can do to get away from their virtual control here. Yes. Alien poop evolution. EU will scan. America will buy the info. And Lance says, just trade our info for it, the five eyes. Yeah, that's been one of their longest scams say, oh, we're not allowed to collect that information on our own citizens.

How about you, our partner over there, collect it on them, and then just, voluntarily turned it over to us. That's been the scam from the very beginning, right after World War II. We had AT&T was basically the phone company everywhere. They used them for surveillance. That's one of the reasons why they had the Church Committee hearing, because from their inception, the CIA and the NSA were spying on Americans without a warrant. And what they said was, it's our data. These customers have willingly turned this over to us. So we own it. The customers don't own this information about themselves, and since we own it, we can do with it whatever we want. And if the government wants us to turn it over to them, we'll do that voluntarily

because we like the fact they put us on a monopoly situation. Yeah, I can't wait for them to start minting our data packets onto the blockchain as NFTs. Imagine George Soros pulling a double-sided holographic David Knight Data NFT and being very excited about it. I'll trade you this. I'll trade it to Mark Zuckerberg or something. Knights of the Storm, coffee and tobacco, will be a tradable item someday. That's right. Maybe you need to start learning how to grow your own tobacco.

Yeah, pretty much anything is going to be a tradable item, especially your skills. You know, get some real skills, not just real material stuff, but real skills in terms of, like you said, growing this or growing that. Now I'm curious as to what kind of laws

there are about growing tobacco. I imagine they restrict that. It can't just be as simple as you're allowed to grow your own tobacco. It's big business. It really is. And, you know, tobacco's been one of the things that they have done.

done more genetic modification too than anything else for whatever reason. So there's really, really big money and big tobacco, as we've seen, their control over government and media. Yeah, I remember looking that up a few years back. It's heavily, heavily regulated. You're going to have the government all in your business if you're trying to crow tobacco. Yeah. So I Googled it right now, and it says you're generally allowed to grow up for your own personal use,

but if you're going to, you know, distribute it or sell it at all, you're going, I'm assuming you're going to get involved with the ATF. Yeah. That's what the T stands for. Frodo would get his house rated in the Shire. No long bottom leaf to distribute. Sauer Man, we're coming for you. Cecilia 14.

David most concerning in the Genius Act is it gives government power to punish Vax, mandate, refusers by freezing bank accounts. That's right. All of these stable coins do. That's why I call them a Trojan. coin. That's what they really ought to be called instead of a stable coin. Yeah, the horses come out of the stable. It's a Trojan horse. I say nay. S.A. Miller, one, two, three, the tariffs are now kicking in and threatening the existence of so many small businesses. So sad. Trump has been the most

devastating presidents for small businesses in my lifetime. Yeah. No one even comes close. First the lockdown. Now this, always coming after its supply chain and always impacting the small businesses the most. Yeah. Again, the big businesses can afford to eat the tariffs for a while. They can keep their prices low and keep you coming to them. You look at, you know, your local markets, prices go up. They have to raise prices immediately because they operate on such razor-thin margins. You know, like, oh, look, Walmart's still cheap. Yeah, not for long. Once the small businesses are gone, then they'll raise it. Nights of the storm, digital money is going to shut out a lot of banks that are all insolvent. They can't make it from nothing. This will central.

the banking to one entity. That's always how they operate. It's always a consolidation. I remember when we were young and, you know, Bank of America and what was that I'm, one of the other ones, they merged consolidated under Bill Clinton, I believe it was, and you talked about that. Oh, yeah. That was, um, that was Bank of America. Bank of America was a California bank and Nation's Bank was headquartered in Charlotte. And we had a bank account, a business bank account with Nations Bank. And it was a guy from North Carolina, I'm trying to remember his name,

but he was in the Clinton administration, and he ran this whole thing through, and then he wound up running for Senate, although he didn't make it through the primaries. But that's when they approved that merger. And when they approved that merger, everybody said, we're going to, you know, throughout the industry and other people were opposing it.

And they said, we're going to wind up with just a handful of gigantic banks. And lo and behold, that's exactly what we had, about a decade later. And we saw how that too big to fail thing worked out. They were the ones who were bailed out. And the small banks started collapsing, hundreds of them collapsing a year. Every year, at that point in time, Drudge would put that kind of stuff up. And you could see how several hundred, you know, 150, one year, 160, another year.

They were going out of business because the big bank. were protected but they were not and the new regulations that they put in with the consumer financial protection board only made things worse for the small banks and protected the big banks as some of the other things Elizabeth Warren wants to pretend that she's on the side of the little guy but she everything that she has done helps the big banks that's why she's on their payroll they get what they want out of these politicians yeah Knights of the Storm oh read that one tunnel Lord 1337 he says I had no

idea. Steam did that with inheritance. Holy smokes. Yeah, it was a fairly big deal. I remember reading about it a few years ago. They may have changed their policies since then, but I haven't heard anything about that. But I do know at the time, quite a few people were up in arms about it, the fact that, wait, you mean, I can't will my game library to my children in case they want to play, you know, what if we've played these games together since they were young and maybe we've got memories, you know, and what if we've got like a shared server or something like Sorry, Travis and Lance. I don't have a game library to Will You.

I've taken all the records. Yeah, I remember seeing that, well, it's kind of a... You can laugh at that particular situation. It shows that you don't own the games. If you can't do whatever you want, including bequeathing them to your children, it's not yours. It doesn't matter what area of life, they want you to be a renter, right? Even something down to the silly escapisms we enjoy.

Skunk Hollow Rose Gardens, Silver is the most reasonable value of anything in the whole world right now. As Tony points out, it's continually undervalue. Knights of the Storm has been in chat talking about it as well. As a ratio to the price of gold and everything else. They've been playing games with it keeping it low. Knights of the Storm, keep your eye on silver. It is below the cost to mine and refine because of ETSs. They played that game too long. Silver ETS have put the price down so low that silver is on sale. Eventually the bubble will pop and silver prices will go more. than four times up.

See, that's the whole thing. That's the kind of games that these people play. ETFs are a good example of that when they do these derivatives. It's very much like the securitized mortgages that created the mortgage bubble. It took me a while to catch on to the ETFs. At first, I looked at it and I thought, well, I'll accumulate, you know, GLD and SLV. These are a couple of ETFs that come out of.

Supposedly, there is gold and silver that is being held by these companies on the shank. on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Show me the money. Yeah, exactly. What got my suspicion was that it was not tracking the price of physical gold, the spot price of physical gold. I thought, why is that? And then I realized that, you know, they're running a scam.

They're not really backing it up with their purchases, what they're selling you. So when they can divorce the actual, whether it's real estate or whether it's gold and silver, they can divorce that and give you some kind of a total. token, then we lose everything. And that's the way that they're going to rob us of everything for sure. And that's this tokenization. And stable coins are just another part of that as far as I'm concerned. One of the things that always struck me funny about stable coin is, oh, it's stable because it's tied to something like the U.S. dollar. We have very different definitions of stable. Nothing tied to the U.S. dollar is stable by definition. Yeah, it's a token that's derived

from the U.S. dollar. How stable can it be then? We have a common. here from Marky and Jay that just popped up says aren't we de facto renters now with property taxes yeah that's true as long as we have property tax you don't ever own your land I've told the story before fairly recently even but I remember you were doing taxes I was probably about seven years old and I wandered into your office because I was bored and it's just like what are you doing taxes you know what's that and you explain tax to me and just what tax you're working on out property taxes I pay the government for the land but I thought you bought that I thought you paid for the house already. I have to pay them every year. It just blew my seven-year-old mind.

I had to sit down and think about that for a while. I was just like, wait a minute, that means you can't really own it. That's right. And you know why we have these property taxes, almost all that goes to supporting these schools and the harm that they do do to our children. It's such a racket. So I can't understand why people are so wedded to the school system. And that's across the political spectrum. We ought to get rid of this. You need to shut it down. They're wasting our money to brainwash and propagandize our children. Yeah, the harm that they do, not just financially, yeah. Which, I mean, if they were to say, we're going to keep taking your money, but we'll do absolutely

nothing. But if you get rid of the money, we're going to keep doing it. I'd say, fine, we'll pay you to go away. I'll keep paying the taxes if it means you guys leave. I would take that trade. Karen Carpenter, 27, the first time we went to Jackson Hole in the 70s, there were mud streets when it snowed in places. Jackson Hole is a very different place now.

Yeah. Yeah, it's still not like. New York City. It's still very rustic in that, but, you know, these people have massive estates. Oh, yeah. You can tell it's a cultivated rusticness. The original people that made it the way it was are no longer there. It's a bunch of people that moved there because they liked the aesthetic who have priced the original owners far out of anything they could have ever afforded. That's right. Nights of the storm, copper is going to be a thing as well. Soon they are trying to build a large collider in Texas, and that will consume all the copper we have on hand. They will artificially suppress the price of copper.

to get the collider built, then when it's done, the price will explode. I have to look at that, too. Are they talking about a large Hadron Collider, like they've got going on in CERN. Are they going to be doing weird occultic rituals like that in Texas, too? That'll be fun. Mav 2022, Copper has been messed with for a while. They need copper for this AI crap, too. They need copper for a lot of different things.

It's a metal that's heavily used in all kinds of different industries. nights of the storm this is why crackheads were ripping wires and pipes out of walls before they did it with the CERN large collider before Tony hinted to copper being a metal to watch in the future a while back. He's right. Yeah, if they build a collider here in the United States, they're going to have to worry about crackheads. Those people are industrious. They have a lot of energy. You're going to have to have guards 24-7. It's not as friendly and nice as it is in Switzerland here. Cecilia 14, are pennies valuable for copper? Good question. Was there any copper left in pennies? That's what I was about to ask. Is there actually any copper in pennies, or is this some weird amalgam metal? now. They seem to have gotten rid of all the value and all of our metals, because I know for a fact that pennies cost more to manufacture than they're worth, aren't they phasing out pennies next year? Oh, yeah, Trump shut it down. As I said, I have real concern about that because that impacts the utility of cash to some degree. But, you know, when you look at coins, it's not all that meaningful to talk about the cost to mint coins because they last for a very long time, unlike the paper money. Knights of the Storm in chat says pre-82 pennies are pure copper. So if you find a penny from before 19802, then you've got a pure copper penny. It might be worth holding on to that.

That's interesting. Well, I was talking about stable coins, and it's kind of interesting that you got a guy that was part of the Trump administration earlier this year. Remember, the Trump administration is only what, like six or seven months old? You've already got Bow Hines leaving the White House. House as the White House crypto director and now going to Tether, which is Lucky Lutnik's company that he's heavily involved. And of course, you know, it's a company that is linked to Tether. And his company has got a great deal of stake in Tether. And they acquire the Federal Reserve

notes and sell them to Tether. Hines will work to help Tether enter the U.S. market and cultivate relationships with policymakers and industry stakeholders. Give me a break. they've already got a rotating, you know, door here between policymakers and industry stakeholders. That's why we got the Genius Act in the first place. And it's just another example of this kind of, you know, regulatory revolving door that pharmaceuticals are filled with. And, of course, that's what they're building right now, but with their crypto stuff. This is an article from Brownstone. It says from Fiat Everything to Real Everything.

And he lays out some of the problems with the Fiat Society that they're trying to build with tokens and all the rest of this stuff. And then talks a little bit about some of the solutions that we should be focused on in each of our personal lives here. The infrastructure is now visible to anybody who's willing to see it. The systematic replacement of natural systems with artificial ones has reached into every domain, money, food, health, education, information. What began as isolated changes has...

revealed itself as a coordinated operation. The complete substitution of reality with decree, ownership, and access competence with credentials, everything for a permission society. The mathematical engineering of ownership out of reach becomes clear. From 52 percent of 30-year-olds owning homes in 1950 to a projected 13 percent by 2025, extraction was rebranded as liberation. This is description economy that converts your $3,000 monthly into someone else's equity while you build nothing. These aren't separate trends, but components of what I documented in Fiat everything. He said, they didn't just loot us financially and culturally, but they rewired our psychology to make resistance impossible. That's the key thing. They want to make it so that you

accept all of this rental stuff rather than taking control of it yourself. And he talks about how Catherine Austin Fitz is very focused on this. And she is. She worked very hard to try to make sure that there was going to be a kind of a Tennessee reserve system here in this state so that we would not be completely reliant on stable coins. She sees the connection, of course, between stable coins and the great pump and dump. And that's the way she sees it. Her article was Plunder Financing the Panopticon. And you And that just recently came out. He said that was last week.

It connects the dots that reveal the full scope of the operation. The surveillance infrastructure isn't just watching us. It is actively conditioning us for compliance. She calls it the panoptagon because she said it creates the psychological substrate that makes extraction possible. Her work has long explored themes of sovereignty and financial freedom, but this latest analysis shows the endgame. We're not just being robbed. We're being programmed to participate in our own robbery.

Yeah, you will own nothing and you'll be happy about that. This is the villain's masterpiece, a system so sophisticated that it harvests not just our wealth, but our very capacity for resistance. And, of course, a key part of that is going to be the universal basic income. Look at how quickly everybody got used to a stimulus check in staying home and not working with Donald Trump. As I said before, he's an accelerationist.

And it always said that people would get ruined by the welfare state because we've already seen that happen in the past. But the extent of doing it universally and the extent to which people became so compliant and so dependent on this stuff, really surprised me at how quickly it happened. Almost overnight. And I know we have this article in the stack, which we might get to later, about the sheer number of Britons that now just take permanent disability and never enter the workforce. Yes. When you give people that option. U.S. as well. When you give people that option, there's a large number of people that will simply take it. They'll look at their options and think, well, I can work, you know, I can work, you know, 100 hours a week and barely scrape by, or I can do nothing and get almost as much from the government. I think I'll take it from the government. And that article, they were talking about how so many young people went straight from college or whatever, straight onto saying that they were disabled. And one of the things they would say is, oh, I've got PTSD or I'm, you know.

I'm stressed, I'm depressed. I'm ADHD or whatever. I've got some kind of mental issue, and so I can get on 100% disability and just live off of the government. And it's very easy for people to do that. It's engineered compliance, as they say here. The recent certification of class action lawsuit for children who were MK ultra victims demonstrates that these were not just isolated experiments. They were the prototype for mass psychological conditioning.

The same techniques that once tested on unwitting subjects now reach billions of people through the devices that they carry willingly. Impulsive, debt-prone, and dependent on external validation, and capable of long-term planning. This is what we're seeing in citizens today. The same systems that price you out of ownership simultaneously condition you to prefer access over assets, subscriptions over purchases, digital relationships over physical community. It's the own nothing be happy idea. So Jeffrey Tucker has talked about a practical way of living with the Founding Fathers' Principles

in a world of smartphones and surveillance capitalism. He's not advocating retreat, but showing how to navigate this system without surrendering the character traits that made America's founders ungovernable. And, of course, a key part of that is local agriculture. Jefferson said that the whole system of government that had been designed was dependent on an agrarian society. And he thought that once we moved into industrialization, that we would

lose it. He should see what's going on with the technocracy. In a world that is drowning in manufactured complexity, this 120-page work from Jeffrey Tucker is as efficient as it is inspiring, cutting through the noise to reach central truce. He says Tucker has identified specific practices that make what is it oh okay yeah let's I don't know what that was that might have been an auto play yeah it makes fiat is there an echo in here it changed my voice to it made fiat systems powerless though not through retreat from modernity but through applied philosophy for maintaining sovereignty from within and so he's got three or four things here the first thing is to try to cultivate in your life a

long-time preference over instant gratification. So they're constantly wanting us to want it now. But he says the mentality that you will have delayed gratification that you can wait so that you don't have to borrow. So you save so that you don't have to borrow this thing. He says, when you can plan decades ahead, you will not be manipulated by quarterly thinking. Then also craftsmanship over disposable consumption. Real skill building. creates anti-fragility. The person who can fix, build, grow, or repair something valuable becomes harder to control. Craftsmanship builds the patience and the attention span that surveillance capitalism deliberately erodes. It creates real value instead of renting

access to other people. And then generational knowledge, he said, over-credentialed expertise. Wisdom that has been passed down through families and communities doesn't require institutional validation. It cannot be revoked by authorities. It cannot be updated by algorithm. Your grandmother's knowledge of food preservation doesn't come with subscription fees or terms of service. This knowledge exists outside of their systems, making it both valuable and dangerous to those who profit from dependency. And this is one of the reasons why, you know, when we talk about Civil Defense Manual, that's not. going to be online it's not going to be something that can be taken away it's in a book and you know

that that's the importance of either having a book or if you put something on a device making sure that that device is air-gapped and not on the internet where anybody can mess with that device and to make sure that it is protected against something like an EMP but even better than that is a book books are protected from EMPs the electricity can go out and you can still read it you can light yourself up a candle and read the civil defense manual by candlelight. That's right. Yeah. And it's kind of interesting. You know, when we look at this, this is an article. I'm not going to go into detail on it. But basically, they say that gold performs more like luxury real estate. And they use an example of Manhattan. And they say, you know, there's people who want to live in Manhattan and they can afford it.

But then there's a lot of people who can't and they wait on the outskirts and they're waiting to see if they can find a deal or something like But they're not making more real estate there in Manhattan. He said that's basically what you see with gold. It's that same kind of market dynamic that you see with luxury real estate in a highly competitive market like that. And so we're going to leave the financial stuff because there's some other things I want to talk about. When we come back, we're going to talk about surveillance.

And so we're going to take a quick break. Let's roll the beach boys. That's right. Yeah. You got that list? We had a request from Karen to play that, so we're going to play that if he can find it. But if you can, I'll play something else. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

All right, welcome back. I want to talk about targeted individuals. It's not something that I've talked about before. I've had many people who have said, you need to interview so-and-so, and they've had an experience with it. I know that William Benny has talked extensively about it. He believes that he is a target of the government.

And when we mean that, we don't mean they've been targeted with audits or something like that, but really targeted with electronically with some of the same types of tactics that have been used with the label of the Havanaugh. And if you remember when that came out about 10 years or so ago, I talked at the time about Alan Frye, who worked for the Navy. He's the only scientist that's ever been funded by the government to look at biological

effects of electromagnetic radiation. And very similar to what they found with microwave radiation, the fact that you could cook food with it, he found that different frequencies than microwave would have effects that could be that could affect your mind. And he had, you know, with a microwave, for example, they had some of the

microwave technicians who were working on radar found that if they left their coffee cup on top of the thing that wasn't shielded very well, but it would get hot. And that's why one of the very first microwave ovens was called a radar range from a manna, if you remember that.

And because it came from radar. Well, Alan Fry's assistant realized they were working on something else. It was a different frequency. And he started hearing these clicking noises like crickets and things like that. And those EMFs were actually manipulating his nerve, his auditory nerves in a way that it was making him hear things. And so Alan Fry started doing research on that. And a lot of people picked up his research and talked about it in light of 5G or 6G or some of these other things. So when they started talking about the Havana effect, that was people who worked for the U.S. Embassy in Havana,

and they were getting nausea, dizziness, and hearing clicking sounds. And I thought, hmm, I wonder if that's anything like the Frye effect. And I always believed that it was. They wound up having hearings. You had so many people who had been affected by it, and they basically kind of poo-pooed it and said, no, nothing exists, even though their own people are being hurt by it. And I think one of the reasons that they did that is they don't want you to realize that they are doing it. Our own government is doing it to people they consider to be their enemies in the same way that the communists in China were doing it. A targeted individual is a short name for victim of government weaponization, said Puerto Rican attorney Anna Toledo from targeted justice.

She said in 2003, Cash Patel, who at that time was a former top official at the White House of the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community and the Department of Justice published his memoir, government gangsters, the deep state, the truth, and the battle for our democracy. Well, the problem is that he's joined the mob now, I think, and I don't think you're going to get any more truth out of him. He's gone to the other side. He discussed at that time 278,000 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications against Americans. 78,000 FISA reports, right? So this is the Star Chamber where you're not allowed to know that they're coming after you.

She said, that is who the targeted individuals are. These are people who are often average Americans who have been wrongly classified as domestic extremists or violent extremists. The very first report that I did when I went to Infowars was about a guy who was the victim him of this type of approach. They put him on a no-fly list. And he didn't know that he was on the no-fly list. And he was on his way from the continental United States to see his wife who was in the military in Japan. And he was flying actually on a military plane. They stopped in Hawaii to change planes. And when he got on the second plane to take off, agents came on board and drug him off and said,

you're on no-fly list. It's like, I didn't know that. How did they let me get this far to Hawaii? and he was stuck. He was stuck in Hawaii because if you can't fly out of Hawaii, what are you going to do? You're going to take a slow boat out of there and he couldn't find one. Anyway, we publicized it and he had some other people who helped him with it, and they eventually got him back to the United States, but they could not find out why he'd ever been put on that list. He had been vetted by the FBI for concealed carry,

and he had also been vetted by the TSA because he worked at an airport. and so they had done extensive vetting of him and nobody had found anything whatsoever but somebody didn't like him and put him on a bad list and this is what they can do with the FISA court. It's amazing to me to see this. You know, the FISA court and the FISA Act, FISA came out of the hearings that they had because the church committee hearings in the Senate and the Pike Committee hearings, in the House, those were held to monitor what the CIA and the NSA were doing because from their inception, they had been spying on Americans without warrants. And so they created this

oversight thing, said, okay, we need to be able to spy on people, but we're going to say that they can't do it, except they're going to have to have a warrant unless it is a foreign citizen in a foreign country. Even if it is a foreign citizen in America, you've got to get a warrant. But then they wound up using this FISA court as a star chamber process to give them legal cover to spy on anybody that they wanted to without a warrant. That's how the government operates now. They take these structures that are there to restrain them and to keep them within a system of rules and within the Constitution. They take those very systems and they use them as legal cover to enable them to do what they are legally prohibited from doing. They said they've been placed there under secret criteria, of course.

You don't have any right to confront your accusers. You don't even know that you're accused. You're never supposed to find out that they're on this database because it's a blacklist for enemies of the state. Toledo said Tulsi Gabbard declassified about two months ago, a December 2021 memorandum by the Biden administration that classified as violent extremists anybody who opposed the COVID mandates and the vaccines and the lockdowns. So you can bet that I'm on one of these lists.

It's probably why they sent. Probably on all the lists. Yeah, that's probably why they sent to PayPal. They said, we can't find anything except we got this message. You don't know who it's from. Said, take this account off immediately. You are subjected to government surveillance, harassment, even potentially torture with directed energy weapons. Referring to the Havana syndrome hearing that was held May of 2024 by the

Committee on Homeland Security, and whenever they have these committees, whenever they do these things, they have an inquiry into the JFK assassination or in the UK, they had an inquiry into how they handled the so-called pandemic. Whenever they do that, these things are set up to be a whitewash. They're not ever going to expose anything. She said, these directed energy weapons can cause a range of symptoms from feeling unwell to experiencing horrific burns and attacks that can be used to make a person believe that they are going crazy. The symptoms of Havana syndrome, such as severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, cognitive problems, and a sensation of pressure on the face was exposure to directed radio frequency energy with psychological factors considered as a

secondary contributor. I have to say that that is one thing that I've not. I've not experienced. I've not experienced any of that kind of stuff. She noted that it not only affects diplomatic military and intelligence officials, Dr. Michael Hoffer, who said that he had been prohibited from diagnosing any more civilians with Havana syndrome, suggesting that there was a cover-up of civilians that were being targeted. She believes that Havana syndrome is a silent epidemic in America. Neuroscientists and neuroethicist, Dr. James, Giordano has admitted in a Catherine Harridge interview that directed energy weapon attacks are occurring in America, and he co-authored a paper published in April this year, stating that these weapons are likely the cause of Havana syndrome. Again, Bill Benny, who was an NSA and formerly, he was the global technical head of the NSA, has gone on record in interviews saying that he believes that he is a target of directed energy weapons. Toledo explained how to identify a weaponized cell tower.

This is something you may want to know if you think you're in this category. Cell towers with a level featuring four panels facing the same direction contain a microchip, she said. The microchip patented by Erickson company is a beam-forming chip that can fire microwave beams. She suggests that one way to stop the Havana syndrome epidemic is to de-weaponize these towers by removing or disabling the chip. well, I don't know if this is true. All I know is that this is one of the things that concerned me about 5G when I looked at it. 5G can target you individually. Now, whether or not the government is doing this because of your political beliefs, I believe that if something has potential to

create damage, it can be made more intense. They like to say, well, 5G is a very different frequency, which of course they've not done any safety studies to see what the biological effects of that frequency are but what it does is that multiplexes the targeting of people who are in a given area it can focus on one phone at a time and you can get signals from several different antennas focused on that one and that moves to another one it does this very rapidly to everybody in the area now I looked at that and I thought just you know that looks like that is ripe for being weaponized against people I don't know if that's how they're doing it or not.

It may be that rather than the cell towers. They said it began before 2016 when the Havana syndrome became public after Canadian and U.S. employees and diplomats and their families that were assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Havana began experiencing similar symptoms. Many mass shooters have also had a common thread of hearing voices due to the microwave auditory effect that Alan Fry had developed the so-called Frye effect the voice to skull technology. Toledo briefly shared her personal experience

as a victim of government weaponization for 20 years and believes that she was given an implant without her knowledge or consent during a surgery that she underwent. Anyway, it's a very interesting thing. Certainly, you know, the mistakes that we make when we look at what our government is doing is to underestimate their depravity,

their lack of ethics, or lack of morals, and to underestimate their, we overestimate those things, I should say. We don't think anybody can be that evil. And we underestimate the technology that they're capable of, I think, when we look at these things. Yeah, we want to ascribe to them some level of humanity. Well, they're still human, so obviously they share something with us, but they really don't. They have no compunction about killing, you know, anyone, everyone. and that's how they managed to get away with it so frequently

because we can't believe that they would engage in evil on this kind of scale. Yes, that's absolutely right. Well, we have some interesting comments that were sent to us. Actually, I guess you picked these up off of the show the other day, and I thought I would go through some of these. One of them was, I just lost this. Hang on a second. One of them says, Travis will need his own show.

And I love to see him down. I mean, we're very, very busy. Travis is very busy trying to get the show up after we do it, as well as preparing for the show before we do it. So I, yeah, you should do that. I don't know. What's going on with your game show? Haven't had time recently. Things have just been so busy.

Maybe now that we're doing this, I'll be able to do it. Yeah. See if it can. It was fun. It was enjoyable just to relax and chat with you guys and still get some cool information from you. Lots of very interesting people in chat with a lot of great information. Yes. And we had a couple of things. This is sent to me. I think either you or Lance sent this to me. I think this is comments that were yesterday. This is Don't Fragg Me, Bro, said two days before Epstein's asserted death, over $500 million was transferred to an Epstein trust fund. Well, that's the key thing. You know, when they look at this, the game that they're playing now is the Trump administration is saying that we want some particular documents that were part of the deposition on the court. And the court is really, to ever release those kinds of documents, but that's not going to tell people what the money

trail would tell them. And so Trump can play the game and say, well, we've asked for this information, but the judge is keeping it from being released. But the reality is, is that what people really need to see is the money trail. That would show who is being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein. Never going to see that. Never. Yeah. Nice of the Storm said, Angry Tigers interview with Gregory Marinero was Fire. Well, I haven't seen that, but I'll just pass it on to all of you if you want to see that. I'm not even sure

who Gregory Marinero was. It sounds like a delicious sauce. Manorino, I guess, is how it is. Yeah, I just saved a few comments if it was something like a guest recommendation or someone that you might want to interview. I'd save them and then send them at the end of the week.

That's what that is. Okay, good. Yeah, and Nysa Storm also said The moon landing was mathematically impossible. If you do the fuel calculations, there was also not enough physical space for the people, for the equipment, the lunar lander. I've always thought about that as well.

I had a guy with a master's in advanced math tried to convince me, and he was blown away when he looked at all the numbers and the specs from NASA's own website. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I also say things that might be like a story lead sometimes. Yeah, I think that is, yeah, the more I look at it, the less I am, the more convinced that I am that that did actually not happen.

You know, now the Chinese are saying they're going to go to the moon. Have at it, bud. So, yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. There are some comments for today. Yeah, we've got Marky Mark and Jay. Thank you for the tip. He says with 15 minutes cities being a thing.

Do you think bicycle repair is a good skill to have? You might be on to something there. That's right. Just like the Wright brothers, if you learn how to repair bicycles pretty soon, you might be able to do a flying machine too. Exactly. Brandon Bennett, thank you very much for the tip, says, Happy Birthday, Travis.

Well, thank you, Brandon. I really do appreciate it. B.T. Taylor, 246, in the Civil War, the South was not able to get coffee, so they made coffee like drinks out of sweet potatoes and stuff like that. Interesting. I bet that was good. I'd try it. Yeah, I'm not overly skeptical.

I'll try a lot of different things. Not bugs, but when it comes to food, I'm pretty open-minded. I wonder if that's where, like, the tradition of southern super sweet tea came from. Interesting. Could be. Paleo Armory, they tried to build the largest collider in Texas before. It failed miserably. Well, that's good. I'm glad to hear that.

Knights of the Storm. Fun fact, the South Korean Mafia made millions making fake nickels with a cheaper material. Wow. Industrious, ingenious. Yeah, now we have our own governments doing that, you know. uh counterfeiting used to be an act of award like sanctions and our own government does the sanctions and the counterfeiting were beset on all sides radis bro i foiled my i failed my mk ultra courses as a child what are the uh what are the only interesting things one of the only things

i've actually done with ai is i just fed in some of some random things i've written and asked like based on the psychological evaluation you give this person how difficult do you think they'd be to M.K. Ultran. They said it'd be very difficult and very unstable, likely to lead to adverse outcomes. So there you go. I'm not likely to be MK. Ultrid. If the chat program is correct. Yeah, who knows? Angry Tigers Den. One year I went to the airport with a friend of mine and put up posters about the body scanners. That year I flew to Florida. They knew who I was before I pulled out my ID. I said, welcome, Mr. Matei. They promptly questioned me in separate rooms and let me go on my way. Yeah. It's about intimidation. We know who you are.

You're on our radar. You've been noticed, citizen. That line always stuck with me from. Be seeing you. Yeah, but that line, we've noticed you, citizen. That came from Dr. Chbago. You know, he comes back at his home, has been commandeered by the local communist official and everything.

And the guy is watching him, you know, just waiting for him to get angry about what they've done to his family and to his possessions and everything. He keeps his cool and everything. So finally, the guy just kind of gives up and looks at him and says, you've been noticed citizen you know that's one we've never watched yeah you uh you've mentioned it my entire life but we've never actually watched it i don't like that movie i don't want to live in a world like that you know we're already kind of there why would we watch the movie yeah the other thing about it my uh my parents uh mentioned and and they didn't like it because it was

the fundamental plot was about adultery you know and uh the whole thing is that dr chavago leaves his wife and and uh you know that's but i that completely went over my head when i was a child the thing that stuck with me was the communism i completely missed the adultery stuff i don't know what's going on there but man these communists are awful i don't remember this man and woman stuff i was just a lame yeah yeah well thank you for joining us uh that's it for today now we're going to do something for Travis for his birthday but thank you all have a good day thank you very much for the birthday wishes. God bless you. The common man.

They created common core to dumb 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.

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 hire.
