of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the david night show as the clock strikes 13 is thursday the 23rd of july year of our lord 2006 well we had a major event yesterday we had the house take the next step for a one and a half trillion dollar annual war budget and also to merge us with Israel. We're going to take a look at the details of that and how it would work if it gets through the Senate. And we're going to take a look at who has betrayed us on this as well. It is Israel, our friend, are we in an abusive relationship in this foolish entanglement, in this farcical war? That's what Ratcliffe, the CIA director, said about it at the very beginning. and we're going to find more amazing tales of surveillance police state here.

And Israel is right at the center of that. They've been given a seat at the table, or maybe we should say a seat at the camera for this as well. And when we look at the economic chaos that Trump has done in terms of a global economic war, there's yet another financial alarm that has gone off, even as Kevin Warsh at the Fed, is trying to hide inflation by changing the yardstick. I don't think that's going to work. We'll be right back. Well, the traitorous Congress erupted in cheers as they passed the NDAA.

And folks, it would be traitorous even without the merger. One and a half trillion dollars is where these people are headed. I mean, we just hit a trillion dollars for the first time, a record budget. Every time they do this, it's a new record. and now it's jumping by leaps and bounds. They are traitors and thieves. That's what these people are. And liars and oath breakers to the Constitution.

It'll now head to the Senate before it goes to Trump's desk. We'll take a look at the chances that this is going to pass in the Senate. I think, unfortunately, the chances are pretty good. Probably not until the fall, nevertheless. So it gives us some time to complain to them about this, if that does any good. And sometimes it does. So the House narrowly passed the defense bill. They call it defense bill.

I think Pete is right. It's war. They don't even care to try to put a spin on it anymore. It used to be when we were about defending the country. We called it the Department of War. When it became about war, they called it the Department of Defense once they created the national security state and made the U.S. military, the world's policemen under Truman, as he was creating the CIA, the NSA, and all these other.

issues and created the national security state and all this stuff that we have to have a secret government because you can't know anything that's happening. Well, now we're simply war. We're simply the Department of Lethality. And so it integrates U.S. military tech and supply chains with Israel. Now, you may not think that that's a big deal, but actually it is. And there's been a lot of cooperation already, and there can be. There have been joint weapon systems that have been developed, but this is a completely different issue. It really is. Only six Democrats supported it.

Seven Republicans voted no in terms of betraying this country. We'll give you their names in a moment here. So the guy who ram this thing through put this in for Netanyahu. And of course, there's been some release of information Netanyahu thanking him for putting this bill through his, you know, thanks for putting that through for us. Well, this is Mike Rogers, who is the Armed Services Chairman, who is the lead trader in all of this. He said, this is the true cost of American deterrence. And it's on its way to $1.5 trillion.

It's not deterrence. As a matter of fact, when you initiate a war against Iran, that is not deterrence either. Democrats oppose the measure over the unauthorized war with Iran, and it has been mostly partisan in terms of the alignment with it. It's interesting to me that, and of course it does help her, unfortunately, in terms of running for president, AOC, Alexandria occasional cortex. And right now her cortex is working because she's opposing Israel. That's going to help her in the general election.

And we look at it's another situation like Mom's. Danny. People are so fed up with a government that has been taken over by a foreign government, which is so obvious at this point. It's not even open to question. They boast about it. Both sides do. They boast about being their servants and the people who have taken them over boast about how they own Congress. And so that's not even a question anymore. People are so sick of this. That really helped Mon Dany. And then, of course, they're attaching their socialism. That comes as part of the package.

You know, it's almost like you don't get to choose these issues one by one, do you? It's as if you went to the grocery store. And I remember when Boris Shelton came to the U.S. And he went to, I think it was Houston. And they took him to some places where he could see the retail grocery stores. And he was just amazed at the variety of stuff that was there. How do you choose between so many different, choices on one particular item that you have here.

You thought it was amazing. Oh, we must have this in Soviet Union, right? Of course, it wasn't Soviet Union at that point in time anymore. But when you look at that and look at the choices that you have, that's not what you get when you vote. When you go to vote, you've got a choice between two grocery carts. Each of those have been filled with garbage from the Republican Party or the Democrat Party. the actual party itself.

So they throw in a bunch of garbage and it is a mixed bag, isn't it? That's why elections are such a losing cause. The only way that you'll ever have any effect on what is happening in this country, really, is to organize around a single issue. If you organize around one of these people, they are owned by so many different interests, especially foreign interests, you'll never be able to get the one thing that you want without having to buy all these other things as well that you do not want.

So Thomas Massey and Rocahanna, who worked together to try to get the Epstein documents released, worked together to try to get this one item that was bundled in with the NDAA. They tried to get that released separately so they can have a separate vote and discussion on it. But actually, you had Mike Johnson, who made. made sure that did not happen. On July 14th, the Senate rejected cloture on the motion to proceed. I covered that before. And, you know, first you look at it's like, okay, they voted 50 to 46 to give Israel control

over America. But the reality is, is that they needed to have 60 votes. And so it is still not passed the Senate, although it has now passed the House. With the House scheduled leave Friday for recess, that will last through the end of August, any eventual conference negotiations are likely to be pushed into the fall. But it's become the single most watched line item in the entire package, and yet Mike Johnson will not allow it to be considered separately. He knows that it's going to be difficult. They don't want to go on record openly betraying the American people, even though they did. He wants to bundle it with

this other son's saying, well, we must pass it because we've got to fund the defense industry. So they, what will it do? It will designate an executive agent inside the Department of Defense whose mandate is to expand and to accelerate joint research development, co-production, and industrial integration with Israel. As Thomas Massey points out, it's much worse than it sounds. I wanted to share one thing at a time. Let's say, you know, we wanted to collaborate on missile defense systems. I think that's fine, the president can do that, you know, just by virtue of controlling the military. But what they're doing here is legislatively, they are appointing a person.

I joke that this person will eventually be a cabinet member, but right now it's a lower level position who will be in charge of the integration. And that means that this project will have a lifespan that outlasts the commander in chief, regardless of who the next president is. provision lasts forever and it's in the National Defense Authorization Act. It's coming to a vote. A lot of people have, you know, saw this, I saw this back in June and offered an amendment. By the way, there are 1,400 amendments that have been offered to the National Defense Authorization Act here in the House. My amendment was amendment number

two. I was the second person to offer an amendment to the NDAA and that's because I saw this troubling provision in the House. there. Now, what they've decided to do is they've decided to block my amendment. So there will be no vote and no debate on Section 219 and whether it should be in the NDAA or whether it should not be in the NDAA. Isn't that amazing? Just ram this thing through. We are going to do what we want to do. This is, you know, this kind of concentration of power, this kind of high-handedness, basically taking away the right to vote of Congress. Why are we talking about the Save America Act?

There's so many different ways that they rigged the elections. And then even after the election, they rigged the voting in Congress. If you want to save America, get rid of Mike Johnson. That's what you want to get rid of. People like him. People like Nancy Pelosi. When Nancy Pelosi started doing these types of things, everybody opposed her in Congress. I said it was outrageous.

And it was. They criticized it, but then when they got power. the Republicans acted just like her. We don't want anybody. Remember we had that big discussion and revolt with Thomas Massey and Chip Roy and Marjorie Taylor Green a couple of years ago over who was going to be Speaker of the House because they fought to take back some of the power that had been taken away by leadership in the House. So no, you don't get to vote on even this amendment,

even though this is the most controversial and most watched thing. Mike Johnson is going to take away the ability to do that. So you don't have folks any kind of representation in the house. Regardless of what happens at the election, as I said before, yeah, we don't want to have this vote by mail and we don't want people to be able to vote without any ID at all. It doesn't mean that you have to have a digital ID. You just have to have some kind of an ID like you'd show to cash a check or something. Remember those when you cashed checks at the grocery store? Anyway, I'm dating myself here, I guess.

when you look at what they're doing, they rig who gets on the ballot? They make sure there's no third parties, no independent candidates. They rig the debates, excluding anybody except the Republican and Democrat. Then they've got electronic voting. They got vote by mail. They've got vote without ID. They got all these other things. And then when you finally get an answer, oh, I forgot the gerrymandering, right?

They picked the voters based on how they want to allocate the power in a state between the two parties. And so once they go through all of this rigamarow at the front end, and you get an answer on the back end of one of these political parties, then they go to Washington and they just sit there while the speaker tells them what they can and cannot vote on. They have absolutely no power being there. I would never want to be a congressman. I ran for Congress once.

I did it so I could have a voice to complain about some of this stuff. I was able to get into some radio shows. I was able to get into a debate. but other than that, I absolutely did not want to go to Congress. This is the last thing I wanted to do, quite frankly. But it's pointless, even more so now than it was when I ran 30 years ago. Executive agents are permanent bureaucratic machinery. They outlive administrations and statutory mandate to expand, accelerate,

only runs in one direction, writes Zero Hedge. The Quincy Institute in a June analysis argued that the executive agent authority makes the provision significantly different from America's existing defense technology arrangements with any other allied nation. The United States does not need Section 219 to buy to co-develop or to field Israeli defense technology. Iron Dome, for example, and the Barack missiles were all acquired under existing law. There was cooperative research and Development Authority, plus standard foreign military sales and commercial sales channels, the executive agents authority will take precedent, however, over Defense Department

component heads within its assigned scope, meaning that the Israeli cooperation agent could overrule determinations by offices like the Defense Technology Security Administration. Now, what they're not talking about here, and I don't know if that's been changed in the House version or not. But remember, we had also not just the technology that is involved here, and I don't see anybody talking about the intelligence aspect, which was a big part of it at the beginning. The mandate that the president would have to give all intelligence briefings to the Israelis. There was, as far as I could see, no reciprocity that the Israelis didn't have to tell us anything. We had to tell them everything. And if the president were to withhold something, he would have to go to

Congress and tell them that he's withholding something so they could tell the Israelis. It was absolutely insane. And yet, I don't know if that is still in there or not. Whenever or wherever an internal office pushes back on a transfer or an integration step, the agent would exist to push it through. This is somebody like, you know, Mark Levin, who is an unregistered foreign agent of a hostile government to the United States. That's how I characterize Israel.

That's how I characterize Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro. They're unregistered foreign agents. They're here to push stuff through that we don't want. And so this is like having, maybe Mark Levin will be the first one. Who knows? Well, that would be annoying, wouldn't it? I have to listen to his voice all the time. If you're in Congress, that'd be another reason not to be in Congress.

No other U.S. ally has anything like this. Defense cooperation with the United Kingdom. Japan, Australia, and NATO runs through a standard architecture. The Undersecretary Defense for Policy and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency have no dedicated agent that is holding precedent authority to promote one country's participation in a sensitive U.S. program. So why isn't it good enough for Israel to have this? Well, no other country uses their foreign aid to buy influence with our elected representatives,

quote-unquote elected. Quincey Institute reads this as handing Israeli defense firms, quote, their own promoter in the Pentagon. That's exactly what it is. And it recommends that Congress stripped this provision outright. The note also supplies the missing context for why does this happening now? They publicly acknowledged a shift from aid to integration. And of course, Netanyahu pointed that out. There's been so much pushback against the heinous war crimes that Israel has And look, I was going to be slow in terms of criticizing this. And that was deliberate because you have a situation where, and I said from the very beginning, it certainly did look like they stood down at the very least if they didn't do

that. And then there were attacks against Israelis as well. But if there is a hostile attack, if you just take it as it presented itself, then you do have a right of self-defense. But of course, so do other nations. Lebanon has a right of self-defense as well. So it is Iran, by the way. But the fact that this went on and was targeting civilians, especially children,

and there was no question about it after a short period of time. You can make excuses at the beginning of something like this, and there were plenty excuses made about, well, fog of war and that was an accident and so forth. There's absolutely no question. That was not an accident. It's absolutely no question. They're withholding medical supplies. food and water, that they would arrange drop-offs and then attack the people when they were

panicked and starving? There's absolutely a question that they were attacking and killing journalists, doctors, imprisoning in them and torturing them. Folks, this is heinous. We do not want to be allied with somebody like this. You know, many people criticized FDR for aligning himself with Stalin, for example, in World War II. This is even worse. It's even more obvious. And it is happening at the height of their genocide, the height of their program, if you want to call it that. So the note supplies the missing context for why this is happening. It really is about shifting from a public line item of saying, yeah, we're going to give them $3 billion or so a year to basically hiding it.

This is why I see this as analogous to what was done with FISA Section 702. Again, we had criminal actions that were taking place by the newly created surveillance state NSA-CIA right after they were created in the middle of the 20th century. And then by the time, about 20 years of this or so, you had a congressional hearing that pushed back against it, the Frank Church Committee hearings in the Senate. You had the Pike Committee in the House that looked at the NSA. The NSA was so arrogant they wouldn't even show them their charter. So, no, we were created by a secret tour.

charter by executive order by President Truman. You can't see it. You're just a congressman. You don't matter at all. Well, the FISA court was an attempt to stop this warrantless spying on American citizens. But they continued it anyway, obviously, right? And then they got their 702, which basically continued it and gave them legal cover. They used the FISA court to give them a secret way to do what they were already doing. They were already violating the law. And so they passed the FISA bill. They passed 702 to allow them to spy on people without a warrant and to do stuff secretly. It gave them legal cover.

That's what this is about. This is about giving Netanyahu an ability to spy on us incessantly and to steal our money without it being open and above board. That's precisely what is happening. Dennis Kucinich talked about what this is really about. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has taken credit for the legislation that was put into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027. He basically said, yeah, this is what I want. Well, he wants it because he'll have the ability to direct the U.S. military.

I mean, it's mind-boggling when you think about. And this particular proposal, by the way, the way it's structured. And, you know, when I first heard about it, I said, I have to read the legislation because let me tell you, folks are watching you have to read the legislation in order to understand its workings and the way this is written it puts the uh department of defense in the driver's seat over other federal departments including state and then this policy has uh it runs through the whole government i mean this really you could almost say this a takeover it and you know it is a takeover hysterical, but the truth is, is laying the groundwork for an entanglement that has never happened

in the history of the United States. This is totally unprecedented. Yeah, Washington is spinning in his grave so rapidly you could power data center off of this garbage. Massey posted minutes after the floor vote. He said, no debate, no vote was allowed on the Section 219 integration of U.S. military technology and supply chains with Israel. Now, think about this and what it really means. If we have our supply chains integrated with them, don't they have yet another vector to control and to blackmail America with? I mean, it's not enough to have Jeffrey Epstein. It's not enough to have all your millions of dollars from APEC. Now they have a tremendous leverage over us in terms of our supply chains for our own defense.

defense, as well as the commercial aspects of the military industrial complex, Marjorie Taylor Green said this will be the most watched recorded vote in modern times. It will give a list of names of every member of Congress who betrayed America, who committed treason, and who sold out the American people to a foreign country. And she's not wrong. It's absolutely right. That's what they did. We already have the deepest alliance with Israel that we've ever had with any of the country. It's a very bad idea in general. And we have picked the absolute worst nation to be allied with. $38 billion over 10 years was part of a 2016 memorandum of understanding. $3.3 billion annually in foreign military financing plus $500 million a year for missile defense.

Why would we do that? It doesn't make any sense. It is not in our interest. We have not of all of our quote unquote allies, Israel is not our strongest ally, our strongest friend. They have betrayed us. They have spied on us. Just look at Jonathan Pollard. Not only was he a traitor and a spy, and he did it for many countries, not just for Israel. But the stuff that he turned over to Israel, they used that to expose American military personnel to risk and death in order to get the Soviet Union to ease. up on allowing Jewish immigration from Russia to Israel. That's all they wanted out of it. And they

betrayed us for that. The USS Liberty and on and on. We could talk about how Jonathan Pollard boasts about how they blackmail the United States into giving them weapons in 1973, saying if we didn't do it, they were going to nuke Egypt. Well, there you go. Those are the people that we definitely want to be allied with. The people who are running the what many people in the intelligence agency say was the most damaging spy ever, Jonathan Pollard. Yeah, let's make an alliance with those people. It is treason. It is treason. The hardware already flows both ways. Iron dome is produced by Israel's Raphael and America's RTX. The US Army bought two batteries of its own. The Marine Corps fields an interceptor derived from it.

Section 219 does not start this trajectory. However, it codifies. it staffs it and it gives it a permanent owner and an executive. Think about that. That's why I said before, it reminds me so much of what they did with FISA and particularly with Section 702. After they were caught spying in Americans, a member of Michael Hayden saying, oh, that's no big deal. We have such a safe haven under 702. I can do any of this stuff and more. Yeah, he would know, former head of the NSA, former head of CIA. So what would America be giving? up when its defense industrial base is formally fused with a foreign state. This is from zero hedge. They point out, first of all, we lose strategic catonomy. It's going to entrench Israeli technology

inside of the U.S. defense supply chain in a way that shields the relationship from an annual appropriations process. So it also, as I point out, that creates another blackmail vector as well. You know, we're going to be integrated in your supply chain. Well, we can break that supply chain. It escalates the coupling. Does the next conflict automatically become an American production commitment before Congress even votes on anything? Think about that. We have a situation now instead of declaring war through the Congress,

that's another thing's been taken away from them, just like their ability to even vote. You see that happening with Mike Johnson. So we don't have a vote in terms of going to war. Would this be a commitment to drag us into war? And before you say, well, no, we can't be drugging the crazy things like that with some kind of a foreign commitment. Something's not even a treaty. It should be treated as a treaty, by the way.

It should require a supermajority. But we've seen this game played before. Just look at the Paris Climate Accord. Oh, yeah, you're going to have to shut down your power plants because you've had John Kerry and Barack Obama self-ratified a treaty. The two of them just did it. Well, you don't like Trump being able to declare war. I don't either. How about if we get drug into it by Israel, then,

and you have to have a Zionist puppet in place? Then, of course, there's the shortcut around the Constitution and why they put things about having a vote on war and why not in the Constitution but elsewhere. They warned us about entangling alliances, why they made it very difficult to pass a treaty because us basically were entangling alliances come from. And it's why this should be treated as a treaty. Should be treated as a treaty and as treason as well.

And then you have industrial priorities. America First argument would hold that marginal dollars in engineering talent should be used domestically before deepening integration offshore with anyone. Wasn't this a whole idea that Trump? Trump had that he sold everybody. He said, well, we got to have terrorists there because we have to be Fortress America. We have to be autonomous and independent. So let's control things at the border so we develop things internally. And we don't have to worry about dependencies and other people.

Well, this creates massive dependencies by design. And then a concentration risk. It raises export control, counterintelligence, and single point of failure questions. All of this is something. that we should pay close attention to. John Meersheimer went on with Pears Morgan, and they were back and forth over our relationship of Israel, John Meersheimer, really owned Peers Morgan.

But the idea that a country like Iran, which is no threat to the United States, or a country like Venezuela, which is no threat to the United States, should... No, it's not. Why is it a threat to the United States? Well, maybe because the Ayatollah has repeatedly threatened the United States. publicly. He can repeatedly, he can repeatedly threaten the United States. Shake his fist in the

face. Who cares? The question is, does he have the military capability to do harm to us? Well, they've had the military capability. In fact, if it wasn't for the, but what they have done, they funneled a huge amount of money into propping up terrorist organizations all around the Middle East, all of whom are wedded to the obliteration of Israel, which is America's main ally in the region. This is why we have this there. of interest, mutual interest. We have to shed American blood and money. That's the reality. And so, yes, they do present

a threat to one of America's main allies and to American Americans who live in Israel, for example, to American service people who work with Israelis. Of course they do. That's the argument. You're making the argument that they're not a threat to the United States. They're a threat

to Israel. And because we're joined at the hip with Israel, anything that's a threat to Israel is a threat to the United States. I don't buy that argument. I don't either. Now we are going to be Siamese twins with them. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Making sense. Common again. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Hello, it's me, Volodymy Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions, I've skimmed off America. I could dress better.

And I could, if only David Knight, would send me one of his beautiful gray McGuffin hoodie, or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gala and social events.

If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Yeah, when we look at this, again, that argument that Peers-Morgan was making with John Mearsheimer, absolutely fallacious. Any threat to Israel is a threat to us. No, it isn't. No, it isn't. And we're not even talking about a situation where Israel was attacked by Iran and we came to their aid. No, it's just they're making threats against us. Well, you know, we had a very long, cold war, didn't we? And as bad as NATO is, we didn't get drug in and they did not

demand that we invade and attack Russia before they attack us. I mean, this all goes back to the prisoner dilemma where they war game this, and it is idiotic and immoral and illegal to start these wars. But that's what Israel demands. As bad as NATO is, of course, you do have people like Lindsey Graham and John McCain who do want to initiate force against Russia, but they wanted to use Ukraine as a surrogate. Israel wants to use us as a surrogate. They want to spend our blood and our treasure in it. Let's take a look at some of the comments. We've got a lot of comments here. Radis Bro, thank you very much for the tip on Rumble. Appreciate it. He says it also gives Netanyahu control of our military where he can treat troops and their lives like game pieces on board. Well, that's

absolutely true. And when you look at what Trump is doing, it's absolutely true that that is the way he views the troops. He sees them in the way that Kissinger is reported to have said, you know, they're just animals, right? We don't care. You're their livestock when you sign up for that. Thank you. And he goes, Sanita. Thank you very much. He says, since Israel isn't part of NATO, I wonder if this will force NATO to push the U.S. out so he can go to war with Turkey. A lot of people have said that I think that that is something that, why Trump is picking fights with people in NATO, because he wants to get out of NATO, because Israel wants to get into Turkey. It's part of their greater Israel project, of course.

Or if this will force NATO to now defend Israel by proxy. Who knows? And it's such a tangled web, isn't it? Handy. Good to see a hand. He says, just a reminder of the Trump shot is still doing its magic. We lost a 24-year-old from our gym to sudden cardiac arrest a few days ago. Just got the news yesterday.

Yeah, it is still working as magic. And we still have, even though we've got RFK Jr. in place, the CDC has just announced I'm going to spend $1.5 billion to buy more of this poison from Trump. And I say from Trump, because folks, you get mad at me. So many people got so angry with me when I'd call it the Trump shot on social media. Stop calling it the Trump shot. Well, he calls it that. He says that he's the father of the vaccine.

He said it wouldn't exist except for him. Give him the credit he demands. And so now, you know, even though they got RFK Jr. there, they're going to spend it one and a quarter billion dollars. That's as much as Trump wanted to spend on his big Genesis initiative that he called a Manhattan Project. That was going to be $1.2 billion for AI and data centers and quantum computing research and all the rest of that stuff. But they're going to give that much money to Pfizer for more of this poison. Guard Goldsmith, Liberty Conspiracy, good to see you, Guard. He said, did you see that Massey and Roe Kahana have introduced a new amendment to a bill that would allow state prosecutors access to federal Epstein documents to allow state prosecution of the clients?

a good idea. Yeah, it is. And, you know, one of the stories I've got here that I hope we get chance to talk about is the former Attorney General for New Mexico talking about how the Department of Justice under the first Trump administration sandbagged them. They said, well, you know, this is something, this should be a federal investigation. We'll take care of this. And, of course, it involved James Comey's daughter and the New York district that was up there. But, um, They basically turned over all the information that they'd collected as part of their investigation, and they were just sandbagged on it. They did not get anything in return from them.

They said they even used some of the information to indict Galane Maxwell, but they got absolutely nothing back. And they said, if we'd had that information, if they would have shown us what they had, and now it came out in some of these few emails that have been put out. I say few, there are quite a few of them, but it was only half. In that, there was an anonymous email in there saying that they thought their bodies buried on the ranch.

They said if that had been made known to them, they would have had jurisdiction over that. They would have searched that. So the former Attorney General in New Mexico is crying foul big time over this. And there needs to be some state prosecution. This is another reason why we don't want to have federal policing. We don't want to have the types of policing that we've seen from the federal. government in terms of ice, the brutality, and of course the shoot first curriculum that they have being done at the state police academies. This kind of corruption, folks, as the Greeks got it right.

They said it rots from the head down. And that's true. We're seeing the rot coming from Washington and flowing down to all of us with all this stuff, especially the police surveillance state. Defy Tyrant 1776, D.K. should mention that Israel helped perpetuate nine 11 alongside our own Intel agencies. I absolutely believe that. I mean, you go back and look at the dancing Israelis. They had set everything up. You could see how premeditated it was. And they, oh, we're just businessmen or whatever the excuse that they had. And then they all go their separate ways when they finally get out. There was clearly coordination in it. And especially when you look at individuals like Silverstein, when you look at people like Howard Lutnik, over and over again, you see the collusion.

that is there. And people who were inside, had inside information about all this stuff. There's absolutely no doubt. And what has that resulted in, right? What did they get out of that? Who benefited from that? Well, the federal government benefited by it, by creating yet another structure to establish a police surveillance state. The TSA, Homeland Security, more encroachments and nullifications of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution rampant. And then Israel, gets its wars that it wanted. It wanted wars with Iraq. It wanted wars with Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East. And they had a shopping list of places that they wanted to go. They got all that stuff. And just look at the people who were involved who were on the inside. I mean, I mentioned Howard

Lutnik, but you've also got people like Dan Kane, who was one of the pilots that supposedly was intercepting United 93 and supposedly did not intercept them, but turned back. And he's now the chair. the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Or you had people like Rudy Giuliani, who was taking the lead in terms of the cover-up, moving any evidence away from the site as quickly as possible, no matter how many people got sick and died because of that cover-up process.

Well, the House narrowly passes this massive annual defense policy bill. Usually it is a easy win because nobody wants to stand against the military. who are the Republicans who voted against this? We need to thank them. Josh Breachan of Oklahoma, Tim Burchard of Tennessee, Eli Crane of Arizona, Harriet Hagamon of Wyoming,

Anna, Polina Luna of Florida, Thomas Massey, and Chip Roy of Texas. So unfortunately, there were six Democrats who went the other way and voted for it. And so double double down our criticism of them. That's the way this always ends up happening, though.

They have the people on each specific side. They've got people that they empowered that they know can't support this if they want to maintain any support from their base. So they get to vote the way their base needs them to vote in this case. And they have just the right number of people on the other side come over to flip it anyway. You're right. It's very carefully orchestrated and manipulated by the political parties who are the real power base here.

So Mike Johnson, the murderous traitor to America and the Constitution, lauded the bill as one that would ensure America maintains the most lethal, most dynamic, most capable fighting force in the world. Is Mike Johnson pro-life? I ask you that question seriously. Because, you know, we have seen the head fake from Mike Johnson and Donald Trump about funding Planned Parenthood. They made a big fanfare about taking the money.

money away from Planned Parenthood, then they secretly restored it to them. And so many different ways as more than one way they did that. And, you know, and I've said when we talk about abortion and pro-life issue, Karen worked for a pro-life organization about 40 years ago. And I said, you know what they really need to do? They need to work on getting better ultrasound imaging. I said, I think if you could see the baby alive, it'd be really difficult for somebody to do an abortion. And yet, even though we now have 4D ultrasound, people can see the baby's moving,

and you have some of the protesters at some of these pro-life clinics said, hey, we'll give you, you know, before you abort your baby, go here and they'll show you the baby before you abort it, hoping that that would stop them. But it doesn't stop all of them. That's what some of the people were saying. They said, it's just amazing to me that somebody would go there and see their baby moving. and they would still abort the child. Speaking of abortion, crying child in the background, but we're not going to abort him.

So the amazing thing is, you know, when you show this, and I've talked about the cartoon, the procedure, for example, I thought that was very powerful. That was based on the testimony of a man who went in as an assistant. He was doing the ultrasound.

He didn't know it was going to be an abortion. And he gets in there and he witnessed the abortion. He was horrified by him. You know, as they sit, the probe in there, they're ripping the baby apart, and the baby's pulling back trying to escape, and they rip off one limb, and then another limb, and then after a while, the baby is struggling violently in there, and then after a while it just stops moving. It broke his heart, and they did a cartoon animation of that to try to kind of clean it up and make it somewhat watchable. It's still very, very powerful. And yet, you know, when people still see that, they harden their hearts.

Let me ask you about this. What about the abortions of kids who are a few years old? Or even adults who are civilians and non-combatants? Take a look at this abortion video. This is not ultrasound. This is a little child and this is a picture of this child just before the baby and mother were killed by Israel bombing civilian populations. Yeah, there's your video.

So how do you pass this test? pass this test? Or are you like the parents at the abortion clinic who go back and take a look at their baby and still kill it? Will you still support this kind of murder and genocide when you can see the baby there looking at you? That's why Mike Johnson and the GOP is not pro-life in any way, shape or form. You don't make a big deal out of stopping an abortion, which you should, and then go out and endorse wholesale murder of civilians and children anywhere, whether it's in Gaza or whether it's in Iran or whether it's in Venezuela. You don't endorse that and call yourself pro-life. What a bunch of hypocritical frauds and murderers. People like War Pete,

who names the name of Christ and he is one of the biggest reproaches to the name of Christ I've seen in public in my life. The rising death toll among U.S. troops engaged in this conflict has shown further that Trump doesn't care about the troops either, as a matter of fact. And when you look at the loyalty that we get, whether it is from, you know, we're going to merge our military with Israel. How is that working out? Take a look. You had one person indicate how many. kids, could they move him into another part of the house? Okay, so when you look at the number of American Jews, for example, serving in the American Army versus the number of American Jews serving in the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, you have 23,380 American Jews in the IDF,

15,000 in the American Army. How is that for loyalty? Well, it's about one and a half times the number of Jews in the United States. Israeli Defense Force then would fight for America. What about Britain? Well, Britain has 2,069 British Jews who are serving in the Israeli Defense Force, but only 180 of them actually want to get into the British Army. We talk about Canada.

1,242 Canadian Jews in the IDF, only 680 in the Canadian Army. They will defend Israel, but they're not interested in defending the country that they live in. that perhaps they have dual citizenship. And this is something that is really relevant. When we look at the merging of Israel and the United States, where does their loyalty lie? I think it's pretty clear. You have, there are one and a half times more loyal to the U.S., to Israel than to the U.S.,

11.5 times more loyal to Israel than to Britain, 2.2 times more loyal to Canada, and 14 times more loyal, of course, to Israel than to Germany. And when you look at this, as many people point out, Dennis Kucinich was saying, yeah, it's not a merger. It's a takeover. That's absolutely true. And, you know, they have a system internally where they identify people. And remember, the Palantir is heavily Zionist.

Alex Karp is Jewish. And he loves doing all. this stuff. Israel, I think, is his first priority as well. They have a program called lavender that they go after anybody who criticizes the Israeli government, any political prisoners. And so what's going to happen once they get access and have a seat at the table of the police state surveillance here in America? Well, I'll tell you what's going to happen because they make no bones about it. Here is Lauder, who is the father-in-law of Kevin Warsh, the guy that Trump put in as the chair of the Federal Reserve.

Now, Lauder is the heir of the Estee Lauder fortune, the perfume company. He is also president of the World Jewish Congress, and he has made no secret of his contempt for anybody that doesn't serve Israel, anybody who questions what they do, anybody who opposes what they do. Here he is talking about what needs to be done. Any candidate running for a seat in this building, whether for Congress or Senate, whose platform includes anti-Semitism, we will target them as they target us. You need to be registered as foreign agents. We'll start a fund to help their opponents. We cannot possibly sit by and let anti-Zionists

determine our future. See, anti-Zionist. It will be easy. It will take time and effort from all of us. And Jews cannot fight this fight alone. Frankly, we shouldn't have to because this is not a Jewish issue. It's a democratic issue. It's a moral issue.

No, free speech is a democratic issue. You want to shut down free speech. You and your ilk have taken the lead in terms of trying to destroy, openly destroy the First Amendment. That's what's really happening here. And they make no secret about it, just like you had the unregistered for an agent Mark Levin say, we cancel Pat Buchanan, we can cancel Tucker Carlson.

He doesn't care about free speech. He only wants to destroy his enemies. Get them before they get you. That's the approach that they take. And when you look at these people, Brendan Carr, he is the guy who is trying to shut down free speech at the FCC. As one listener pointed out to me, and it is true, his wife,

is an executive at Palantir. It's all kind of like a little interconnected club, isn't it? Very, very tight. All these people is like looking at a Charles Dickens novel where everybody's related to everybody else, but it is a club and we're not in it. And it's not a club of, it's not Semites. You're not anti-Semitic if you criticize the government of Israel.

You are anti-Zionist. And that's what he said at the end. for he starts with a cover story. Oh, we got to punish all this anti-Semitism. Racism, racism, racism everywhere. Then he comes back and says, well, if you're anti-Zionist, if you're against their political foreign government, if you criticize what they're doing,

then that's what they call racism and anti-Semitism. And they want to punish you for that. By passing the NDAA, says Kentucky states, one on next. Congress is handing the keys to the one big, beautiful bill that funds all the AI data centers. All the military drones, a centralized database that Trump had Palantir build, they're handing all that over to the IDF so they can control it remotely from Tel Aviv. Any guesses as to what's going to happen?

Look at what they have done in terms of campus protests against the Gaza genocide. Yeah, we're going to make sure these kids never get a job. They may have gone to an Ivy League school, paid the big bucks, so they've got connections, but we're going to make sure we've got connections too. we're going to make sure these kids never work anywhere. That's the way they do this. Now, the U.S. Israeli Defense Cooperation, as he points out, is theft. You want to know what the future looks like?

Take a look at the iron beam. Israel's iron beam was U.S. technology called Tactical High Energy Laser. T-HEL. It was transferred to Israel under U.S. cooperative terms. They're going to do the same thing as well. And by the way, you know, they stole our nuclear technology to build their nuclear bombs in the first place. So why we look at their tools of control and surveillance, let's take a look at Flock. And just remember, as many people are starting to point out, flock is starting to get deflocked in a lot of different places.

But the people are rushing in to do the same function as AXon, the people who created tasers. They've been selling stuff to cops for quite some time, and they sell them most of the body cameras that they have. They even proposed having drones with tasers on them to be used in schools, presumably not against the students in general, but against whoever is doing a school shooting. They got a lot of pushback because of the obvious potential for problems with that. But the flock will tell you that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy and privacy. public, but just try to get some of the information of what they recorded. No, they have a law that makes that private. So they have privacy with their data. You have no privacy with your data. They will grab your phone and anybody in your car's phone to help identify who you are,

who that car is as you're passing by one of these things, but you have no privacy whatsoever. And of course, you can be framed by Flock as well. Here's an example of someone that had that happen to them. We have cameras everywhere in that town. You can't get a breath of fresh air, in or out without us knowing. Kressana Elzer learned the power of Flock firsthand. You were in town from 1152 until 1209. Exactly.

Like I said, nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing. This is a cop confronting her. Police officers showed up at her door holding full. flock snapshots of her truck. And here's when you left at 1209. That's when you left, Tom. To get. No, to stop at Ridge Trail.

Wait a minute. And take a package. Well, there's no shushing. I don't need to be. Yes, Sarah. I need to know where this is. The first thing he pulled out on the body cam is that flock picture, the clear photograph of your car. But here's your vehicle in the neighborhood many, many times apparently casing houses, because you just can't drive through. for work or visit other businesses.

You can only be casing houses. It is her. It is 100%. It is locked in. There is zero doubt. I wouldn't have come here unless I was 100% sure. 100%. It is certain. It is on video. You're obviously welcome to go to court. Cressana was charged with stealing a package.

But it wasn't her. The porch pirate was somebody else. Multiple times you tried to show him your video evidence. He didn't want to see it. No, even when I called him back, he said, that's not my job. You looked at a time of a crime. You saw my vehicle entering in the flock camera. No, no, what I did was, I did an investigation.

You called my wife a liar. You know what this is a fact. I have video evidence. I don't know what you want me to say. But he won't look at the other video. After Cressana spent weeks trying to get the police chief to look at her evidence, time stamped video from her truck and a neighbor's doorbell camera showing she wasn't at the scene of the crime. What does it say about where we are that you feel you have to have more cameras than the police have in order to make sure you can prove yourself innocent?

It sounds like it flipped the script to you're guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Without a flock camera, that detective would not have been at her door. By his own admission, he pulled out the flock picture of her car. Do you want to apologize to Chrisana Elzer for what happened to her? For the police misusing the tools? I don't think that I have to apologize for him. He wasn't, I mean, other than being reprimated for his attitude, sure. But I would tell you that, like, should I apologize for somebody misusing a tool?

I don't think so. Flock Safety Chief Communications Officer, Josh Thomas. Who's watching the watchers in these cases? Well, the city council, the city owns the data. So city council would have the appropriate responsibility in that case. Our point of view has always been that it is not Flock's job to police the way police do their work. Yeah, they're free to do whatever they wish, right? And, you know, we talk about having a camera in your car.

That's always very useful, especially if you have an accident. Because now you've got a witness that shows, you know, who was where and where the cars were when the accident occurred. I've even had it save me from getting a red light ticket, been pulled over. And the cops says, you went through a red light there. I said, no, I didn't. And I've got a video camera right here to show it. They walk away. They don't.

I've had that happen to me twice. And so, yeah, in this particular case, that was really what saved her. Of course, the neighbor had a doorbell camera as well. But it is creating a massive pushback. And I'm glad to see that that is happening. People need to, they are pushing back against the surveillance and police state. And we need to. They're not taking that tact, unfortunately, when it comes to data centers.

But they are when it comes to the flock cameras. And, of course, Exxon is going to be doing the same thing as well. Authorities say since July 8th, flock safety cameras in the city of Ashland and Ashland County have been targets of vandals. In some cases, the flock camera pulls were hit by a car or truck. And in others, the equipment was struck by what authorities believe is a baseball bat or club. The victims of the vandalism are the taxpayers who pay for the cameras. They're the public's cameras. You know, we've had some tax dollars.

It is our tea party events. I think overwhelmingly the general public would like to have a safe community, and these cameras are a piece of that. The Ashling County Sheriff says the vandalism is part of a trend across the country, and he believes it is based on misinformation. People have this perception that these cameras are out there, tracking them all over the place and all this other nonsense. And that's simply not true. It absolutely is true. They get some license plates.

They do that. You've demonstrated that. We input. If we're looking for a specific plate, we look for the plate. Or if there's a wanted person attached to it, or if there's a missing person attached to it, or somebody that's in harm's way. You know, we look for that data. Investigators say, ironically, they're using the flock safety cameras and their effort to identify

those who have been damaging the cameras. So they leave from damaging our camera and drive by another one that maybe they didn't know about or go to another county or whatever. So, you know, yes. There's a website for that to help you. could help us catch the individual's responsible for damage our own cameras. Once the vandals are brought to justice, authorities intend to seek restitution to repair or replace the cameras that have a value of up to $3,500 per unit.

Now that they've been damaged and down, what are we missing? How many people are coming through that may have been missing or that have been wanted? Victims need their justice, and now that those cameras are not... This is sloppy police work. These are people who don't want to do the hard work. And instead, what they want to do is they want to create a police state to make it easy for themselves. And we've seen the police abuse us. You just saw that report there.

We've also had a situation where a guy stalked a woman, put her on the hot list. Let me know wherever she is. And he nearly had several head-on collisions on the Key West Bridge chasing her down. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Stay with us. It's your move. And now, the David Knight Show. Well, welcome back.

And again, when we look at what is happening with flock, there are 53 cities that have ended their contracts with flock so far. But, of course, there's another company that is ready to jump into the phrase as well. People may not be aware of. I would just say, though, the problem is, I showed this graphic the other day. This is what's happening in terms of the proliferation of flock cameras. Right there, there's just a few of them there. That's in 2024.

Look at how rapidly this has metastasized like a cancer. When you see that many dots on the map of the United States, 53 of them being taken away doesn't make much of a dent at all. What needs to be taken away, folks, are not the flock cameras, but the town officials who were a part of putting that in. If that is their attitude toward your privacy, your liberal, if they want a police surveillance state, they're not fit to be in city council.

You need to get them out. That needs to be your first priority. Instead of cutting down these polls, cut them out of their elected office, run against them, create a coalition against them. I've seen this type of thing happen for issues that are not nearly this important.

That is really what needs to be done. You've got to get those people out of office. They are unfit. It's un-American what they're doing. And so again, Exxon is taking up the slack that is there, and they are proliferating as well. Now, as one person has pointed out, and I'll let you listen to this and make your judgment as to whether or not you agree with him legally. He says that they're committing felonies by dumping these things out on our streets.

All right, guys, I've been doing some homework on the flock cameras, and here's what I found. If they did not go to city council, if they did not run this through your proper authorities in your town and had meetings on this, public input, and the whole nine, they are illegal. committing a felony. Public input. ...in your town without the people's consent, and you can actually get them removed. And a lot of towns I've seen are actually reversing their contracts with them, or their contracts are expiring, and they've decided not to renew them.

But they are flooding the zone with the flock cameras, and it's not for your public safety. On two things before you go. One, Facebook, I've seen a lot of ads from all the police departments. It's like Operation Mockingbird, where they're trying to say, wow, how great flock cameras are. Total nonsense. It's a sciops. Secondly, you can go to deflock.org and you can see if these things are in your neighborhood and you can also check and see if maybe you missed the city meeting, but I doubt that you did.

They're sneaking these things up and it's all for a reason. Another reason why they're building the data centers at breakneck speed, okay? I'll have a video on this stuff coming up, but I just want you to know if they put this in your town, you can have them removed. There's some verbiage that you got to use and you can present it to your people. Otherwise, you know, stay tuned. I'll have that information for you. but they are a felony.

They're committing a felony dumping these things all across America. Stay vigilant out there. Remember, the most capable hand is at the end of your wrist. That's right. And you know when we look at this, these things are the eyes and ears. And again, in many cases, the ears, because they did attach audio to many of them. They're the eyes and the ears of the data centers, which are surveillance centers. You need to understand.

That's what they really are. Stop calling them data centers. And there's a massive pushback against. that as well. There was a big protest that one group tried to organize across the country in many, many states all at once. Unfortunately, they're really coming at it from kind of a leftist point of view.

They point out that there's a lot of people who are conservatives who hate this stuff as well. And so it transcends party lines at the grassroots level. But the people are organizing this stuff or for the most part, people coming from the left. And they are organizing the opposition to these things based on what it's doing to electricity costs based on what it's doing to water supply, to noise pollution, what a horrific

thing it is to live next door to some of these so-called data centers. That's not going to be an effective strategy. I played Metro Hale as he did a sermon about that. As a matter of fact, to his congregation talking about that because, folks, this is really an issue of where the rubber meets the road here in this country. It's a vital issue. And of course, he is the one who I've interviewed him many times about his book, about defy tyrants, is the name of his website that's there, but it's the lesser magistrate. And how when the people at one level of government defy the rule of law, defy the constitution they swore to uphold, it needs to be enforced by a lower level of government. And that's exactly what needs to happen. We've got to get these people

out of office at the local level who are doing this. That's where the rubber meets the road. And What is happening is, as you point out, a lot of cases, they don't hold any public meetings. And that's the basis for getting some of these things overturned, depending on laws and your jurisdiction. But they don't hold any public meetings. As a matter of fact, people might see them breaking ground on a data center. It's like, what is that about? I don't know. It's not a shopping center or something.

No, it's something much worse than that. Don't bill shopping centers anymore. We don't want bricks and mortar. But then they find out that there was never any mention about it. There was never a public meeting about it. Why? Because they signed a non-term. disclosure agreement, an NDA, with the corporations. When you've got corporations that are creating a

web of surveillance and police state cameras and pushing, you know, making a police state for profit, when you have these types of corporations doing this and colluding with local officials to do it secretly in a hidden way, where do you think that's going to lead? It must be opposed. Absolutely has to be opposed. And so let's talk a little bit about opposition, for example, to the war. Gerald Sinty, very disappointed for years, probably 20 years. He's been trying to hold rallies for peace. As he pointed out, he can't get any support for any of these rich people like Elon Musk or anyone else. They're making money from the wars. They don't want peace. He said, billions for war, but not a penny for peace. That's what you get from the people.

typically, and the public is not really interested in it either. They're not going to be interested until they see it reflected in their pocketbook. They really don't care about people being killed. They don't care about murdering civilians in foreign countries. They don't care about American soldiers being sent to die and what murdering civilians does to them in their life as they don't have to live with that later on. They don't care about any of that. How does this affect my pocketbook? Well, it is going to affect our pocketbooks. Massey said there's still a base for all this. There's still Fox

News that's on TV every day glorifying this war. I mean, I played the clip for you earlier this week. Maria Bartoromo and she was talking at the beginning of the week she was talking about how in the world could Iran attack all of these

American military bases and kill a lot of soldiers? How could that happen? They don't have anything. We know that because Donald Trump, Trump told us that. Really? You have, she really drunk the Kool-Aid? Does she really believe the lies that she's been reading off of the teleprompter?

Evidently, either that or she's a very good actress. How could this happen? I mean, they told us that they didn't have anything left and look at what they're doing now. Massey said, eventually I think it's going to be people's pocketbooks that are going to impose reality on them. And they're going to quit watching Fox and they're going to pay more attention to the price of gas, where are we seeing that with the farmers? That's why they finally came around with this long promised $12 billion bailout. Trump stabbed his supporters on farms, small farmers.

He stabbed them in the back with his tariffs. Promised, I'll give you some relief. And yet, what did he do? He gave the money to his pal, Javier Malai. I guess they go to same synagogue somewhere. But he gives it to Javier Malai, gives him $20 billion. Then he promises the farm. farmers, I'll give you $12 billion. Didn't happen all last fall. They said, well, it happened at the

beginning of the year. Didn't happen at the beginning of the year. Now he's promising it again. We'll see if they get it. But again, people are going to vote their pocketbook. It's the economy stupid. They don't really care about much of anything else. And so you won't see them care about killing civilians and children, but you will see them care about the price of gas at the pump. Well, people are looking at Trump And as he is As he is talking about the war Here's the latest nonsense that he said

It almost sounds like he says The Street of Hormuz Maybe that's what he thinks it is I don't know We don't need anything We don't need the Hormone Street But we do it because we have to do it Because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon

It's very interesting Yeah, well, didn't you tell us also that you had destroyed all their nuclear facilities last summer? Didn't you also tell us, well, it's all rubble? And we would know if anybody went next to that rubble, because we've got satellites, we can read their name tags, they'll say Muhammad, right? He said all of that. He said, if I were to go there, it's nothing but nuclear dust now at this point. I mean, we could go back there and we could take the nuclear dust,

but it would just be a PR event. Now he's still using that as a justification for this war. and you heard the idiots behind him, the maga-a-tards, the plotting in the background, they just can't put one-and-one together and get two. It's just the numbers are too big for them to be able to work anything out on that. So now he is saying, in terms of one-on-one,

he's saying, every time a shot is fired at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, I'm going to take out one bridge or one power plant. Well, I've got a couple of things to say about, this. First of all, this is the kind of civilian recriminations that have always counted as war crimes. Oh, well, you shot a Nazi officer? Well, bring the men of the town here and we're going to line them up and execute them all, right? And the other part of this is that not only is he going to go after civilian targets in a punitive way like that, which is a war crime, openly bragging about it. He's as

clueless about that as he is about the street of Hormuz. But he also doesn't promise to do that for every American life that's taken, right? What does that tell you? In other words, he's not even saying they have to hit the ship. They don't have to kill anybody on the ship. And he'll take out a bridge or a power plant for that. What will he do for an American life? Nothing.

Nothing at all. So what about? And let's, we'll have a little bit of what aboutism here. What about those ships that you attacked near Venezuela? Donnie, you and War Pete. You attacked ships. You killed people. That was the purpose of attacking the ships was to kill people.

Didn't have any other purpose other than that. And then you even circle around and execute the people that are surviving that, that are shipwrecked. It is absolute murder or war crime, depending on whether or not you have a legitimate war or not. You want to play that game. Is it a war? not a war. You know, it's like some kind of a TV game show, right? Is it war or not a war? Well, you want to play that game. That just makes a difference as to whether or not you are a war criminal or flat out murderer. You and War Pete. So you shoot at ships strictly for

financial gain. As a matter of fact, there's $13 billion he's bragging about, have come out of Venezuela. Nobody knows where that went. That go to his family? Where is that money? People in Venezuela had a major earthquake. It cost them over 5,000 lives and $37 billion worth of property damage. They don't get that $13 billion. And who did get it? I don't know. It's simply piracy, robbery that he is doing there.

And so, meanwhile, are we going to have peace? Well, the Iranian military, I guess you call it, the IRGC, says to Trump, if you strike Iran's infrastructure, we will shut off the Gulf's power. And so here's the way this thing works out. You have this memorandum of understanding. Their understanding was that they would essentially control transiting through the strait. There wasn't anything in there about tolls, but there was an indication that that was

something that was a possibility in the future. Nevertheless, they were going to control this between them and Oman because it was close to their territory. And so they were going to control the transit rules. And when they started shooting at ships that did not follow their orders, then this escalated to another level. And so two Saudi Arabian tankers in the Red Sea have been attacked by Houthi militants. So this is not something happening in the Strait of Hormuz.

Then Trump issues his ultimatum, saying, shoot a ship, and we will take out one of your bridges or power plants. then Iran responds to that. This is the way the tit for tat escalation goes. They said, if you hit us, we're going to retaliate, and we're going to hit Gulf Energy Infrastructure, if any Iranian infrastructure is attacked, saying it will cut off electricity among the U.S. Gulf allies.

By the way, all of them are afraid to join a coalition against Iran. They are concerned because they know they will become the target of, but they're going to be the target of it anyway, allied with the United States. And then Iran claimed that the attacks on U.S.-linked targets in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. So now we have Iran denying that there's any nuclear activity at pickax mountain. They call the U.S. claim a fabricated pretext for an attack. Well, I think that's right. I think it is a fabricated pretext for attack.

It has been a fabricated pretext for decades. Over 30 years, it was a fabricated pretext by Benjamin Netanyahu. Always two weeks away. There's two weeks away from a bomb. And he goes to the UN in 1990s, and he's got that picture from Warner Brothers, where the round bowling ball bomb with a cylinder at the top of it and a fuse that is lit. Just two weeks. They're going to have this thing.

And he's been selling that kind of lie forever. And we heard that even picked up and parroted by. Trump administration officials. It absolutely is a pretext. Either Trump was lying when he said he destroyed the nuclear facilities or he's lying now. But he has sold us over and over again. There's nothing there. I got it all. They can't work on it without us knowing about it. And if I were to go there and get the nuclear dust, that's why the phrase nuclear dust has become so prevalent because he's saying he destroyed everything. He bombed it to dust. I could go back and get that to just be a PR event. So this is all

just PR. All of his whining about nuclear power as well. So they don't care about children. They don't care about civilians. They don't even care about their own military. And as I showed you before, that abortion video, this child here, you know, do you care? Are you pro-life? Do you care if a two-year-old is You claim that you care about it. You claim that you care about unborn children. Do you care about born children? Do you care about mothers? Do you care about fathers?

Do you care about civilians? This is why, as Christians, we always said we don't start wars. We're not going to be the aggressors in this. We're going to be peacemakers, not warmongers. If somebody attacks us in order to defend innocent life, we will fight back. But we don't initiate aggression. That's why we are unequally yoked, folks, from a religious, moral and ethical standpoint, we are unequally yoked Christians to Israel.

Don't talk about Judeo-Christian values. They don't value Christ. They hate Christ, and they hate the values that he taught. They simply want to get whatever they want by any means necessary. Trump compared the Iran conflict's death toll, for example, of those of past U.S. wars. listing figures from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, alongside his own military actions. Do you understand what this is really about? Do you understand that if you're in the military, he doesn't give a fig about your life.

You are nothing other than a piece of cattle to him. You're simply a way to keep score. To keep score. Because they don't win their wars. They have a way of keeping score. How many bombs did we drop versus how many bombs did they drop? How many planes did we lose versus how many planes or ships they lost? How many soldiers did we win or did we lose versus their soldiers?

That's how we determined whether we're winning or not, you see. It's simply playing a scorecard. And the lives of the military are just another thing to fit into their spreadsheet. as if you were an inanimate object like a plane or a ship, they don't care about the lives. He said, I call it a skirmish. We've got a skirmish that's going on. A lot of people took him on about that.

Marjorie Taylor Green said Trump was bragging about only killing 18 U.S. soldiers. Gavin Newsom called him a disgusting little man. Well, he's right about that. I got to say, I don't agree with Newsom on too much, but I do agree with that. I don't know these little, though. It's pretty large. Trump was minimizing 18 soldiers who have died from his stupid Iran war, said Chuck Schumer. Again, I don't agree with Chuck on early anything, but he said it was beneath contempt.

I do agree with that. This is all just to keep score. You are nothing more than cattle to them, whether you're in the military or not. A conservative commentator, David J. Freeman, a Zionist, not a conservative, said, well, we want to win fast and we want to have minimal American blood. What is winning and what is a conservative who supports a preemptive war, a war of aggression, a war of choice? What are you trying to conserve? Wars don't conserve anything. They're expensive, if all you care about is money, they're expensive for the country that's

involved in it. It's always a lose-lose situation. It's like getting into a lawsuit with somebody. So he goes online by the name of Gunther Egelman. And then, of course, you got Stephen Miller, the guy, the Zionist, and the total authoritarian. This guy is always authoritarian on every policy that he talks about. And he begins by talking, first thing out of his mouth, 47 years, it's like, okay, stop right there. If you start telling people for 47 years Iran's been doing this or doing that, now what you're doing is you're simply lying to people. You're removing the historical context.

It was 73 years ago in 1953, that we overthrew their government because we didn't like their politics. We overthrew their government because they were going to nationalize the oil fields that were there. And we put in an authoritarian shaw. somebody just like Stephen Miller, for example. And he had a horrific military police state there. The Savak, trained by the CIA and Mossad, the usual suspects, the same people who did 9-11.

The most expensive skirmish ever, said Tenistar Martina Navitrlova. She said, hey, Donnie, people do not die in a skirmish. You had Bill Crystal. who typically never saw a war they didn't like. But of course, he is adamantly opposed to Trump. And so he's just saying this simply because he opposes Trump, not because he opposes war. But it's true.

Also, I hate to be pedantic, but people routinely die in skirmishes. The skirmish is, you know, a small group of, you know, usually outlying forces, testing each other, trying to get info on the enemy. So that's just me being pedantic, but, you know, people die and skirmishes and have for all of time. But, you know, what he is doing is. is he's creating a global depression and he's pushing us toward a much broader war and toward

a quagmire. That's really what it's accurately called a quagmire, not a skirmish. So Bill Crystal said it's disgusting for the commander-in-chief to call the war that he initiated in which these service members died to be a skirmish. But as you point out, yeah, that's a long term. He's using it to minimize the extent. And he is not minimizing the extent of this in any way shape, or form. Militarily, economically, it is not a minor thing. And it's not a minor thing to the people who lost family members. And so one person says, well, it's gone from being called a little excursion to now being called a skirmish and a war that had already been won 33 times. Donald Trump has told us that he won this war 33 times. So is it a skirmish? And what does he think

these soldiers died for? Call me crazy. But I prefer a war. you only have to win once, you know? That's right, yeah. What did they die for? Did they die for Israel? No, Donald Trump gave us another reason of why they died. They are indeed. Great heroes, actually.

They said, and all of them said very strongly, we can't let, you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. They won't have a nuclear weapon. All of them, all the ones who died said very strongly, we can't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Now, do we even need to unpack that for you? All of them said, I'm here to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon.

I will lay my life down for this. They were there because they were ordered to go there. By him. By the guy who said that he had destroyed their nuclear weapon. By the guy who said, well, I could go get the dust, but there would just be a PR event. Just amazing to me how he lies and jumps from one light to the other. It never stops, does it? He said they're being degraded so seriously that they let something slip through in Jordan.

He blamed the attack on the people in Jordan. He said, we've trained some operators there. And they didn't do a good job. We let other people do the job. And sometimes that doesn't work out so well. So it's not him. It's not his vanity. It's not his ego politics.

It's somebody who screwed up on the ground. So no one ever cares about the children and the civilians that are there. that are being killed in a country that did not attack us, did not attack us. Trump and the American public basically doesn't even care about that. They don't even care about their military dead. And Thomas Mansy is right. The only thing they care about is their pocketbook. Well, here's what that might look like.

When we look at a similar situation in Ukraine and with Russia, you know, you get a thought that might have learned, something from that. They just looked at it and said, ah, Russia's weak. We are so strong. We're not going to have that kind of a problem. And yet what is happening right now? It's back and forth tit for tat. They're attacking each other's infrastructure. They're attacking each other's power supplies. Now you've got Iranian drones attacking what is the equivalent of Russia's Amazon. It's a large online retailer operating out of Russia. And they have 10 gigantic warehouse. and probably a lot of other smaller ones, but of their really large warehouses of 10 of them,

half of them have been destroyed in the last week with drone attacks. And when you stop and think about this, the days of superpowers are really over. Russia didn't learn that lesson. America didn't learn that lesson from watching Russia. And America still hasn't internalized that lesson, and neither has Russia. Neither of them are trying to have peace. And yet the reality is that asymmetric warfare, and drone warfare has basically taken away that advantage.

When is that going to happen to America? When are they going to start attacking warehouses and public infrastructure and bridges and power plants and all the rest of stuff? It's just a question of time. This is a back and forth that is happening in Russia right now. When you have a situation, folks, and we've seen this on the front lines, you have you've seen these horrific videos. It looks like something out of a war film or a sci-fi film or something

where you got a soldier that's being chased by a suicide drone. You see the horrified look on their faces as the drone gets closer and closer, and then the video goes blank knowing that it's blown this person up. But they do that with tanks. The tanks were putting, you've seen the pictures of the tanks, they put these big screen structures. It makes them look like a traveling piece of junk. It looks like they hit a chicken coop or something, right?

As they were cutting through the countryside. But they put these structures. up above them to try to protect them because even the armor of a tank doesn't protect them from these suicide drones. So they put that there so that that would detonate the charge and put a little bit of space between the charge and them to try to help them survive. Now, let me ask you, are you going to be able to protect your data centers, your power centers, your bridges, or your presidents against that kind of attack? I know he's got the beast and all. the rest of this stuff, but can he withstand a direct drone hit with that? The tanks can't.

So this new drone warfare, one of the reasons that this is dragging on like this is because the warfare has changed because of the drones. So you have a multiplication of very cheap swarms of things that can attack, whether you're talking about going after an aircraft carrier group or whether you're talking about a situation of coming after a tank column that is there. All of these structures from the last war really don't secure anything. And this is why you see the fear and paranoia in terms of we got to have a ballroom with an underground bunker and all the rest of this stuff. And yet, they won't do the obvious thing.

They won't pull back and stop their wars. They won't stop their wars. They won't stop their assassinations. they won't stop their coups. They continue on a figure that they can probably arm themselves better than the opponent can. Meanwhile, Iran declared that U.S. radars suffered a, quote, dark night of missile strikes. Again, Ukraine and Russia can't defend tanks or infrastructure. The U.S. can't defend its military bases.

This is the reality. As they pointed out, they said they described the attacks as a radar system. suppression campaign intended to clear the way for more decisive and heavier waves of missiles to come. There is a strategy to what they're doing. As a matter of fact, there's an excellent book called bombing to win. And he pointed out that people who have focused on bombing civilian populations, it always backfires. It galvanizes support, even for an awful government like the Iranian government, it galvanizes support amongst the civilian population. They see them as their only means of defense. And so when you do that, it's a losing strategy. The people who bomb to win are the

people who are bombing to take out the eyes and ears of the defense system so they can hit them with a heavier wave, which is exactly what Iran is doing. They seem to have a strategy. We do not have a strategy. But we are at the top of the hour, or the bottom of the hour, should say. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. You're listening to the David Night Show. In July of 1896, exactly one hundred 130 years ago, I warned this great nation of the government's plan to crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. Of course, that was before they started to bleed us dry with a death of a thousand fiat paper cuts. But after you bought every single commemorative David Night Show coin in gold color, the podcast's gold reserves are depleted.

They issued 100 numbered gold colored coins and declared the mint, closed. The people cried out, free silver. Well, the likes of J.P. Morgan can't stop this all-new commemorative coin. Now in silver color, while supplies last, this commemorative coin does not contain precious metal, but does keep the show on the air, equal to the gold color. This limited run is numbered one to 100. Get yours today at the David Knight Show.com. Hurry, because supplies are disappearing quicker than the purchasing power of the dollar. All right, welcome back, and I want to cover some of the comments here. Doug Ogg, thank you very much for the tip.

He says, thank you, David, Lance, Travis, and Karen, let's all remember to hit the like button. Yes, thank you for that tip as well. I do forget to tell people that. We're not very good at promoting ourselves. That helps the programs visibility quite a bit. So thank you, Doug Lug for reminding us of that, and we need to be reminded. And real Jason Barker, again, nights of the storm. Good to see you, Jason.

Thank you for the tip, as a matter of fact. He says, great to hear cities are deflocking, but the cameras often stay and continue to collect data, which has been shown to be accessible by federal agencies. They store it all on Amazon data centers. You're absolutely right. And this is the other issue. You know, when you look at what is going on,

again, coming from the federal government, coming from the Trump regime, they have worked very diligently to remove what they call data silos. They do not want to have any division where one jurisdiction or one level of government has got some information that is not accessible by all. So they want to have one common database. This is a Palantir approach. They want to have everything into one giant stack that is searchable. That's one of the reasons why they're building these data centers that are there.

And this is something that goes back over a decade ago when they started building these first data centers that were just storage centers. They built a giant facility out in the middle of the desert using massive amounts of water and electricity in Utah, Bluffdale, Utah, about 2012 or 13 or whatever. Now, I remember when I talked to William Benny about it, you know, he's saying, yeah, these are, they're just storing everything right now. He said, we don't really have the computing power

to be able to sort through all this stuff and make sense of it yet. But they're just storing it for the day when we do. Well, now that day is here. And so the very last piece of the puzzle is to have the data centers that give them the electrical power to do it, but they do have the computing ability to go through and sort through this stuff. That's what Doge was all about, really. And it was kind of frightening when you look at it.

I knew that it wasn't really going to effectively shut down the government's spending in any meaningful way because there's too much of it that is mandated. I mean, you have the big defense bill. Then you have the government mandated spending and the unfunded mandates. actually of Social Security and the welfare states. So you have the warfare state, the welfare state. So much of this stuff is mandated by law. And there was nothing that he could do about it.

If you look at the part that was not mandated by law, it was a tiny fraction of the amount that they said they were going to be able to save with Doge. But what we did see with Doge and what we subsequently seen in terms of going after Trump's political enemies is they have the ability to go through these databases with a fine-tooth comb and they can literally find that needle in the haystack. I remember when we were trying to get information in North Carolina, when I was involved with the Libertarian Party, we were trying to sort through and find some of things that they were spending money on particular things. We asked them for some information rather than giving us anything that was meaningful. They, I would say that they maliciously complied with our request.

And I say they maliciously complied because they gave us so much data we couldn't sort through it. And so that's one way to hide things, right? you put the needle in the haystack. Well, there's no way to hide anything that way anymore, not with the data centers. I can sort through that. You can go through the real estate history, as we saw with Pulte there at the Housing Authority for Trump, doing research on Trump's political enemies and going back through all their real estate transactions for a very long time.

I said, well, in this particular real estate transaction, you said that this is going to be for your own personal use, but you never lived here. And he was able to do that very quickly, and he bragged about the fact that he did that with AI. That's why he's now being put up to take Tulsi Gabbard's position. He's more than willing to use the power of the police state on Trump's personal enemies. That's a key thing right there. So Jerry Alitalo has questions for Tony. Tony's not going to be joining us today.

He will be joining us again, though, on a regular basis, but today he couldn't do it. He said, please ask Tony if he agrees with the number one root cause of the Iran war. is that Islamic law strictly prohibits usury. Thank you very much. Well, I don't know what Tony would say about it. I would say that the number one cause of this Iran war is the greater Israel project. They've made no bones about the fact they want people's land. And when I've shown you the pictures of what the settlers are doing, the settlers are doing,

the settlers are Zionism and a microcosm, right? It's an individual acting this out just one-on-one with people. What they do, and they go on, they point guns at people and say, you're going to leave here, I'm going to shoot you right now. You're going to leave your farm. I'm going to take your farm. This farm is mine. We've seen this played out over and over again.

You can see these videos over and over again, and they're disgusting. But that's exactly what the Greater Israel Project is. You know, when Tucker asked Mike Cuckabee about that, he goes, yeah, sure, God gave that to them, take it all, right? No, God did not give that to them. They were chosen by God to have the oracles of God through them. But he also promised, he promised them that they could live on that land, but he also promised him that he would throw them out if they rebelled against him.

And they not only killed the prophets, but they killed his son when he came. And they are not on the land. And yet it is kind of interesting the misunderstanding about this that I see from so many people. Here is one report that I came across. I'm not going to play the full thing. I just wanted you to see the premise of this guy's report. He said, you may not understand what this conflict is really about, but at its heart, it's really religiously based.

And I guess you could say that. I mean, if you have the religion of Mollick, where you will sacrifice anything and everything for money, the love of money is a root of all evil, and that can become a religion for people. Money and politics can be. But he said, they're all talking about this third temple. And if you look at Islam and Judaism and Christianity, they're all talking about the third temple.

Israel has to wage her big war and make it appear as though she was only defending herself. That's Islam. The last time when they shot hundreds of missiles, I would pretend that one missile came from Iran and shoot it down. Then all the Arabs would go against Iran. there will be the end of the problems. You make them fight with each other, this bunch of lunatics. This happened on the Temple Mount

in the city of Jerusalem. This is the place where King David captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites and made it the capital of Israel. And that happened... I'm sorry, I've got to turn this guy off. I can't watch John Hagee. That guy is a traitor to Christ

and to the United States. He should register as a foreign agent for Israel. He holds church services of Israeli flags on the podium and he has Israeli political officials there. Come on. If you want to do that, you can do that. Don't call it a church. If your religion is to worship a foreign government, if your religion is to worship a foreign government that's in the middle of a genocide, that's on you. Don't put it on Christ. He has nothing to do with that. He repudiates that completely. And so I reject the idea that that is Christian theology. It is not. It is not.

not Christian theology, one aspect of it. As a matter of fact, when you get the theology wrong, you start to get horrific fruit like that. That's the bottom issue. So he's saying, yeah, we've got three religions who are looking for a third temple. No, we're not. Christ is our temple. Christ is our temple. He even said to them, and that's one of the things they brought up. He said, destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. And we are the building stones of his is a church. He is the foundation, and we're the living stones that are built on top of that. Stop making this about an ethnic group. Stop making it about a political entity. That is adamantly opposed to everything that Christ taught. If you do that, you are making a severe error. It has

absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. But here's what the Jews are actually looking at. This is the Noahide laws that we have talked about so many times. And you look at the Oh, Hyde laws, it looks like just a reduced version of the Ten Commandments when you first look at it. And yet, the way they interpret this, the very first one is that idolatry is a capital offense. And they believe that if you are a Christian and you worship Christ, you are an idolater. And here's how this works out. That is the godly thing to do. We respect one another.

The godly thing to kill you. The godly thing is to kill me. That's right. That's what the Torah says. The Torah says to kill us. The Torah says that people who worship idols such as yourself, when there is a Sanhedron. To kill us? Yes.

Okay. That's what the Torah says. So we know how the Jewish people feel of our Christians, yes? That you discriminate against Christians. Christians are idol worship. The Torah says that Christianity is idol worship. Yeah, that's why they spit on Christians in Israel, why they will take their land, why they will kill them. And that is not what the Torah says.

If the Torah is the first five books of the Bible, which is what I think they're referring to, this is why we don't talk about Judeo-Christianity, because they don't follow the Torah. They don't follow the Tanakh. They follow rabbinical writings that have been done afterward. They don't believe the Bible. You look at what Ben Shapiro said when he was asked by Joe Rogan. He said, well, you're an observant, Judy. Believe that Moses is part of the right seat.

No, no, I don't believe that. Maimonides, this rabbi that they, revere as if he was God, says, oh, it was just a wind that went through there. They don't believe any of that. They don't follow the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal. They don't follow any of that stuff.

And ultra-Orthodox rabbis have called them out on that, called out the government of Israel on that. So they don't follow the law that was given by Moses, which was not given by Moses. It was given by God through Moses. They don't follow that. They follow the rabbinical writings, and rabbinical writings say that they are a master race and everybody else should be enslaved or killed.

So they came up with their own rules, the no-hide laws. Why do you need the no-hide laws if you've got the Ten Commandments and the Torah? Well, because they don't follow it in any way, shape, or form. They have no remorse about what they do. They don't even have any way to any sacrifice for their sins. Because those sacrifices that were done at the temple were looking forward to Christ. They were a type, a prophecy of what Christ would do. That work has now been completed in Christ.

There's no need for another temple. He is the temple. Well, I want to go into what is happening with the economy and with gold and silver. It's kind of interesting to see what is happening. We've got one red line after the other is being crossed. The global oil prices jumped, of course, after the war, threats have intensified. And so we see this, the price of oil in terms of barrels of oil. We see that going up, going down based on what Trump is doing or what Trump is saying.

Yet Goldman Sachs is warning that oil could soon reach $120 a barrel because of the crack spread. What is that about? Well, that's a very interesting metric that I'd not seen before. when you talk about the crack spread, that is the process. They said, it works like this. You have refiners who take in raw crude oil. The price mostly referred to in the headlines. That's when they talk about a barrel of crude oil.

Then they crack it into usable petroleum products, right? They split it into different things. They split into gasoline. They split it into diesel. They split into jet fuel. And so the crude oil refinery people have their own way of looking at it. It's called the crack spread, the profit that oil refineries make from converting crude oil into these usable fuels. That is called the crack spread.

So that's basically the profit margin for refining this stuff, if you want to look at it that way. Prior to the war, this crack spread was usually about $10 to $15 a barrel. This week, however, it reached $70 a barrel. Think about that. If the crack price is $70 a barrel, that's more than the entire price of the barrel of oil was in the past. Well, everybody's been watching crude oil, a very different oil measure. One that arguably matters a lot more for the price at the gas pump has never stopped climbing once Trump and Netanyahu kicked off this war of choice. That measure is called the crack spread.

It is at an all-time high. The gap between what a refinery pays for crude and what it earns selling the gasoline and diesel that it makes from it. For the most part of the decade, that gap fluctuated between $10 and $15 a barrel. This week, however, it hit $70, the widest spread ever recorded. The margin for refining a barrel of oil is now more than what an entire barrel of crude cost the day before this war began. By the way, Trump did that, did he? Trump did the war. Trump created this massive crack spread.

He did it for Israel. It kept climbing while crude collapsed, and it is still climbing now that crude is rising. The crack spread is the market telling you in dollars that the right crude is not reaching the right refineries. The price of oil can do whatever it likes. The machines that turn it into fuel, however, are screaming either way. And so we desperately need peace, says Zero Hedge. But there isn't going to be peace. Nacho, not a chance that Hormuz opens.

As a matter of fact, you know, it's not enough to give Trump a couple of phony trophies for peace. Or they put up that they put up that peace trophy to mock him and said, here's a trophy, the Trump Trophy Collection Center. If we give him enough trophies for enough things, maybe he'll stop the war. Maybe he'll leave us alone. No, I don't know. He's got other people that are making billions from this. The people who are controlling him are making a lot of money.

As a matter of fact, what would ever happen to his board of peace? I joke to the beginning of this. Here's a guy who has started one war after the other. You really ought to call it board, B-O-R-E-D, Board of Peace. What was a scam? And it was something he was going to say. set up and people would pay a billion dollars to get under that. I don't know if anybody paid that, but you don't hear anything else about it. I guess he just scammed them and took the money and ran

like he's done with his crypto scams, that type of thing. Well, we all know the dollar is not backed by gold. What is it backed by? Constitutional scholar, William J. Watkins, says the obvious. It is backed by force. That's why they always clear the decks for the NDAA. As a matter of fact, look at what is happening to the purchasing price of the dollar, the inflation that is being hit. Just remember the other day I was talking about how the price has gone up since 2020 when Trump started throwing monkey wrenches into the supply chains and the global economy with a fake pandemic.

A basket of food at Target has gone from $60, just over $60 to over $150. We're talking about two and a half times as much for food than when, than pre-pandemic. It kicked off recession and inflation that we still not recovered from. Now this is the second hit that Trump has taken at the piñata, isn't it? It's going to bust open.

Elastic reading of the Constitution's spinning and commerce clauses turn those limits into, quote, what the founders would call a general police power. It has done so, and now it has piled up debt upon debt. It is truly why we are in the fix that we're in. Again, $1.5 trillion for war, not a penny for peace. Gold, however, says Steve Forbes is an insurance policy, an insurance against currency crisis,

inflation, overreaction, and dollar devaluation. That is not changed. Those fundamentals have actually increased. Steve Forbes acknowledged that gold prices have been precipitous decline since hitting their late January highs near $5,600 per ounce. But he said, gold isn't what he said. has actually changed. He said, better than any item on earth, gold keeps its real value and has done so for thousands of years. We all know that, don't we? Gold is measuring the worth, it is to measuring

the worth of a currency, what the North Star is to measuring direction. When the price of gold changes, it is the value of the currency that has changed. Gold is the constant. What we're experiencing is a rally in the value of the dollar, not a fall in the real worth of gold. The greenback has also gone up against other currencies. I guess then my question is, why would it? You know, I look at this mess of corruption that we call the American government. Why would anybody put their trust in the currency? In God, we trust.

Don't give me fiat currency. The biggest factory says is that since gold has surged past $5,000 in January, the Trump regime has stopped muttering about the need to devalue the dollar in order to reduce our trade. deficit. He said cheapening a currency is the very definition of monetary inflation. It is always a formula for damaging economy. And yet, they have been doing this. They've been quietly printing more money, printing almost as much as they did in the past when they're talking about quantitative easing. They're just not talking about it now. They talk about the interest rates, but they don't talk about the quantity of the quantitative easing. Forbes said this begs another question. If the dollar

has been getting stronger, why are interest rates going up on both short-term and long-term treasury securities? The two-year treasury, for instance, has jumped past 4%. He said the answer is supply and demand. The government is issuing boatloads of treasuries, there you go, to pay for our huge budget deficit and refinanced trillions of dollars in existing debt that is coming due. He cautioned against premature celebration of the dollar's recovery, pointing out that it's still has lost a great deal of value since 2022 even. I just talked about how it's a basket of food that they had as a reference point at Target in 2020 is now two and a half times the price that it was just six years ago. Trump is the Terminator. This is Terminator 2, the sequel. It's terminating our

economy. He said back in 2022, gold was about $1,800 an ounce. Two years. Two years, ago it had moved up to $2,300 an ounce. A year ago, $3,300 an ounce. Today, the price of an ounce is still up more than 20% higher than it was last summer. How many investments do you see that you would not be happy with a 20% gain over one year? And as a matter of fact, right now, it is incredibly cheap and poised, I think, for, I don't know the timing of when it's going to happen, but it is going to go through another big run-up, absolutely. Because all of the factors that caused it to go up in the first place. Central banks trying to use it for insurance, the inflation that is happening,

the shakiness of our own fiat currency. Forbes warned that the Iran war still has potential to send energy prices even higher. He said the Fed's reactions are likely to then put pressure on Warsh to hike interest rates. He said, he sees the potential for an international monetary crisis. He said, perhaps it could come from Japan or from Britain. He said, Japan's national debt is proportionately twice our own. His financial institutions are loaded with government debt that is issued with virtually no rate of interest, sharply reducing the value of that paper today.

He said if the UK's new prime minister acts half as radically as he has sounded, he will pound the country's currency and curtail the government's ability to sell bonds to pay its deficits. So it isn't just if, you know, Trump continues down the path of blowing it. It could also happen with Japan or with the U.K. He said, gold is not an investment. It is an insurance for financial troubles. Keep the insurance. And I would say, we're coming up into a perfect storm.

I would suggest you buy insurance. Usually you can't buy insurance if you see the hurricane is headed toward where you're living in Florida. But in this particular case, you still can buy insurance. And, of course, you can go to David Knight. Gold. I'll take you to Tony Ardibund at Wise Wolf. You can start on an easy savings plan and dollar cost average this by setting up a fixed amount that you want to save every month in terms of putting it into gold and silver.

Something is going to retain its value, something that is not just simply going to be a piece of paper. As he pointed out, Forbes did. He said, you know, for 180 years until the 1970s, the U.S. was on a gold. standard. We never had inflation when the dollar's value was tied to the yellow metal. The U.S. experienced the greatest long-term economic growth in human history. Yeah, it was things like honest money, gold, a small government, very few regulations, liberty, not having foreign entanglements, all the risks of these things. That's what made America great. I said

that when Trump was out there saying, oh, we've got to have tariffs because there were some tariffs on some things in the late 1800s in order to protect those industries. Well, that's not what made America great and not what made America prosperous. It was not taxes. And I said at the time, that tells you that this guy is still a New York City Democrat. He still thinks that you can tax your way to prosperity. That was not what made America prosperous. It was the freedom and it was small government that did that.

Forbes said that since the U.S. abandon the gold standard, the average growth rates have declined by about 33%. He said, if that hadn't happened, listen to this. median household income today would be at least $40,000 higher if our traditional pattern of growth for those 180 years had been maintained. That's what it really cost you, right, in terms of your purchasing power even. Nonetheless, the scorn for gold-based monetary system, he says, is universal. But he thinks that it is going to become the standard. He says not just China, Indian, Russia, but also countries like Poland, many of them,

many of them have learned the lesson that when things get tough and they have to pay more money for the oil that they bring in or they're unable to export that oil, they look at it as a way, this is a lot of them, one of the reasons it's going down is because a lot of them are using gold for its intended purpose as an insurance policy. So they're cashing that in. Meanwhile, we have the Fed's favorite inflation tracker is going to get an overhaul, just as they're looking at the interest rate hikes. And so this is a trick that's going to be played by Kevin Warsh.

What they're going to do is they're going to change the yardstick for inflation. They're going to measure it differently. So then they can say, well, we don't need to raise the interest rates or whatever because Trump does not want the interest rates raise. If you raise the interest rates, it's going to make it even more difficult for him to cover the interest rate expenses. I mean, it's already up to about where the military budget is, about a trillion dollars a year, just in interest alone.

he does absolutely not want to have interest rates go up for that reason alone. So it means that they're going to try to continue to monetize the debt. They're going to continue to push for inflation. And they're going to try to make sure that you don't see the inflation happening. And yet the Treasury market is now seeing a very worrying milestone. They haven't seen since 2007. This is the long 30-year treasury yield has had the long. longest stretch it's ever had above 5%.

And we see that. We see the other red flags of the Schiller Index, where he put together the price and earnings ratio of a lot of different stocks. And he said, if you go back and look at 1929 when they had the crash, the Schiller Index was in the low 30s. The Schiller Index is now in the low 40s. It's typically around 17. We have red flags folks everywhere about this stuff.

Make sure that you have got some insurance because there is a storm that is coming. And it's not just even the central banks, the Viat currencies. It's also the AI giants and the fact that they are hiding their debts. They have spent a tremendous amount of money in terms of borrowing. And they're doing a great job of keeping that secret. I mean, they're even have this circular investing scheme that's going on. And more important than anything else is the ability to feed yourself. Yeah.

If you can start growing your own food, raising chickens, raising. And get skills. That's right. Get skills. And again, I'll mention it again. That's the Civil Defense Manual that Jack Lawson has at Jack Lawson Books. That is a great place to start. He's got some great tips.

He's got a free. If you go to his website, you can see his free tips about making sure that you've got a good supply of water and the importance of that. But he's got some great tips on how you've got some great tips on how you've got. you can start to set things aside without spending a lot of money. You don't have to get special storable food. There's other things that you can do that are very wise that he has there. And he also has the wisdom of not just about storing your food and learning some skills and getting food and water and medical supplies, the obvious prepper things.

But he also gets into the psychology of how you need to organize yourself with other people because that is really key as well.
