Starting point is 00:00:25 in a world of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 24th of September, year of our Lord, 2006. Well, as we look at the rapid buildout of the police surveillance state, who is really behind it? We're going to take a look at that today.
Starting point is 00:00:53 And, of course, Trump is getting very serious about labeling opponents of AI, critics of AI, You're now an enemy of the state, a traitor, someone who has allied with China. Where is that coming from? And, of course, it is a domestic war. The first casualty of war is the truth. Unlike Iran, however, they're actually winning this domestic war. We're going to take a look at local governments who have told lies, taken bribes,
Starting point is 00:01:24 continue to push this technocracy everywhere, and then ICE. the boot of the federal police state now conducting more brutal attacks and the attitude to these people it's not just that there are altercations where people get hurt but it's the after attitude afterwards that really is telling
Starting point is 00:01:47 and the FBI was hacked so much for security I guess those who live by the data and compute are going to die by the data and compute and then In 2020, deja vu, as we look at
Starting point is 00:02:01 what is happening with elections. And we even have, now the few people, the few rats who are still not jumped the Trump ship are telling him
Starting point is 00:02:12 to declare martial law for the elections. That's how desperate they are getting. Well, let's begin with the rollout at some local areas. The city of Stockton,
Starting point is 00:02:21 California. I remember Stockton, California. It's one of the first, if not, one of the earliest, if not the first, I think it was the first city of any size to declare bankruptcy. After they did that, they decided they'd get on board with the technocracy
Starting point is 00:02:37 and offer everybody universal basic income. Well, they're still on board of the technocracy. They wanted to, in this bankrupt town, spend $3 million in public funds to purchase fly cameras. But they didn't want to tell people they're purchasing flock cameras. So what they did was they labeled it as money for an animal shelter. study. That's right. And so some people found out about that. The president of Stockton Democrats together found out about it because they're all Democrats. So these are Democrats. They're not allied with a technocracy because again, just like Republicans are all over the
Starting point is 00:03:15 place. But the city approved a $3.15 million on flock projects, but booked it as an animal shelter study. So once he found out about that, they went public with it, they started having some student journalists at a nearby university started doing their own investigation. And they said they were very concerned to see that this college, which is known to be a sanctuary school for illegal aliens, they said that school in the city were giving money to ice or giving data to ice, I should say. And putting these fly cameras around and giving ice access to the flock cameras. to track undocumented illegal aliens, right?
Starting point is 00:04:01 So the entire concept of the sanctuary campus was undermined, they said. And then they started looking more locally even still and looking at the college itself. They found the school itself had been actually using flock cameras on campus since 2025. So what's going on here? On the one hand, they say that they are for illegal immigrants, but on the other hand, they feed this data to this brutal federal police force. And look, folks, this all was just a beard anyway, just to have an excuse to put a digital ID on everybody and to create a federal police force.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Flock was recently caught collecting data from municipal cameras in the city of Sheboygan and attempting to sell that data to third parties. So even though the university said, well, we're not giving it to them. You know, it's like, well, you may not give it to them, but they may take it and they may sell it. We had one city that did not do that. They thought that they were just keeping all the data for their own use. And then they got approached by my flock to sell them data. And some of it was their data.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I said, what's going on? This is supposed to be our data and you're selling it here. All these stories exposed at local level bring important new information to a nationwide struggle, a struggle against mass surveillance. And although people are waking up, I don't know that it's going to be quickly enough. As a matter of fact, here's another example. This is a guy who is a technician who installs fiber optics for a living. And he called the city council out on their lives.
Starting point is 00:05:39 He goes, I know what I see there. You keep talking to us that there aren't any data centers and hyperscale data centers. It's what we're talking about here. Data centers have been around for a very long time. They've been there for cloud computing. They've been there for crypto mining, that type of thing. are something completely different. The hyperscale, the scale that it is at,
Starting point is 00:06:00 and the use that it's going to be put to in terms of surveillance and data coalition, data mining. Here's what he had to say at the council. I work in the fiber optic industry probably about 20 years, and I see where you say there's no data center going in at Colette Road. The only problem I have with that is I'm watching them put a six pack of conduit in down Dallas Highway. It costs between $50,000 and $100,000 a mile.
Starting point is 00:06:25 to install, and you're telling me no data centers? Nobody's doing that on them. Maybe. I mean, that's almost a $2 million investment. Excel construction, putting in fiber optics for a data center. So, I mean, somebody needs to explain it to me. Either you're not going to do it, or you're going to do it, you're lying to them or you're lying to us. I need to know. I know you put a memoratorium on it, but that's only on.
Starting point is 00:06:49 New permits, not old permits. I mean, they're a blight. I've been to them. I mean, you can get in a prison easier and you can get in a data center to look at it. I mean, I'm not talking chain-link fence. I'm talking concrete walls with razor wire. Their own fire department, their own security force. They might employ 40 people.
Starting point is 00:07:09 They're not going to bring jobs. They're not going to bring business to the community. They're just going to blight the land. That's all they're going to do. And I know, I've seen it. I've been there. I look at them every day. That's right.
Starting point is 00:07:22 You keep hearing that same story over and over again. And what happens when, you know, one of the things that they're doing is they're incurring these commercial loans that are going to go up for 30 years. And yet the equipment they're buying with it is going to be obsolete in three years. What is the business model here, folks? There is no business here. This is about a surveillance state. Understand that. This only makes sense when your customer is the government and they don't care about the economics of this.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And so this is a big issue across. the country, of course. And it is a bipartisan issue. And the Republicans, because of Trump, are routinely lining up on the wrong side of this issue. Here's a guy who is a, he's a big Zionist cheerleader, a big Trump cheerleader, Byron Donald's who's running for governor in Florida. And oh, by the way, he's in trouble now, just saying that he would take no action as governor to ban the flock cameras. So you told because I's governor, you don't plan to eliminate that. the flock cameras. Before we get that far,
Starting point is 00:08:28 I really want to have a full analysis of the entire scope of what we're doing. Oh, we really don't know yet. The campaigned to say, I'm a band, this, I'm a band, and I'm a good... Full stop. I'm a realist. You have to be able to get that through both House and Senate in Tallahassee.
Starting point is 00:08:45 So what then will happen is you'll have sheriffs will come in and they'll talk directly to their representatives from their communities. And so you can say, whatever you want in the campaign trail, you've got to be able to deliver that in policy. And so that's why I'm just very clear on it.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I've seen us go through these things in multiple phases when you're talking about Florida and policy, whether it was 5G nodes, cell phone towers. This is completely different, and you ought to know it if you're going to be governor. You're not qualified. You've got to understand that your local sheriff is going to have a very strong opinion
Starting point is 00:09:20 about why they want to have a resource in the tool. So why? I've seen a lot of support. Don't we have a constitution? No, you're good. Keep going. No. So that's why I'm like, let's look at the full scope of what's available.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Let's be transparent about what's there. I think you're pretty transparent. I think we know where you're coming from. Yeah, you know, you can say anything on the campaign trail, so I'm going to gas at you. Here's what I'm going to say on the campaign trail. Yeah, we have to look at this. It's really not clear yet, is it? When somebody says that, you know where they are.
Starting point is 00:09:50 They know that this is about Fourth Amendment violation. They have taken the oath to the Constitution, and they are traitors to the Constitution. Traders to us. They seek to enslave us to a godlike, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent government. I can't support anybody like that. And, of course, this guy, like so many other Republicans, is sinking in the polls in Florida. In Florida. No talk about the Fourth Amendment, right?
Starting point is 00:10:21 And then how are they going to use it? Of course, we can trust the police never to abuse their power, can't we? Well, here's Spike Cohen. He's got a video of a guy who had a situation where he, I'm sorry, this is not, that's the one that's coming up. Spike Cohen has got something from the New York Police Department. They're very excited about the fact that they confiscated, as they put it, two guns, one search warrant, zero good reasons to have them. Really? I got to have a good reason to have a gun?
Starting point is 00:10:54 No, I don't. I have the right to self-defense. That's a God-given right, protected by the Second Amendment that you swore to uphold as a condition of your office. End of story. To say that I have to have a good reason to have a gun is like saying that the government is going to decide whether or not what I say is true or not. You don't get to decide whether or not I say something that is true or not.
Starting point is 00:11:19 That is up for the marketplace of ideas, and you don't get to decide. what a good reason is to have a gun. And so they brag about this and say, you bring the guns, we'll bring the warrant. Yeah, so don't tell me these people are going to respect the Constitution, as a matter of fact. Spike Cohen also had this clip up.
Starting point is 00:11:40 This is a situation where you got eight officers raiding this guy's home before dawn. What was it that he did? Well, his offense was he filmed an officer. Speeding. He criticized him when he got to their drive-thru and embarrassed the police department. So they find out where this guy is in the middle of the night, as you see, with his own surveillance camera. And again, I'm not against surveillance cameras. I'm against the network. The network and the data mining and the coalition of this data, that is the issue that is serious about this.
Starting point is 00:12:16 It's not a problem filming somebody in public, except the police think it's a problem. and it's not a problem to have a recording even of it. So you can go back and see what happened. The problem is how they're coordinating all this stuff and using it to do warrantless searches. That is the issue. If you're going to have police who are going to go to somebody's home, all armed up like a SWAT team,
Starting point is 00:12:40 in the middle of the night because he criticized some cops at a drive-thru for speeding, what does that tell you about the mentality here? You think these people are going to be kept in place by the Constitution? Absolutely not. And so when we look at where this is all coming from, we see officials are seeking answers after a man, police say, was fleeing ice, dies in a car crash. Now, this is up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:13:12 We just had the situation this week earlier where we had a guy in Austin. Okay, he was here illegally. and I would support the government deporting him. However, I do not support shooting people in the back. And then for this type of thing, this is like not having a driver's license or something, in my opinion. And so I think the reaction to it is excessive if you're killing people on streets. If you are crashing your car into them, if you were shooting them in the back, and then throwing him in the car without any medical care
Starting point is 00:13:51 and throwing him in their detention center where he sleeps on a concrete floor with the bullet in his back. Look, we've had situations, and we had a sheriff who talked about this in terms of the earlier ICE shootings. One sheriff said, look, we've had situations where we've had, let's say suspects,
Starting point is 00:14:10 even though they know they're the person who did it. They're shooting at us, and they've shot a cop, and we shoot them. We get a medical care for the. them right away. That's the way that it should be. That's the way it's always been. But that's not the way that it is with the new federal boots that Trump has created. Don't call them ICE. Don't call them nice. Call them boots because it's Orwell and it's the boot that's going to be stomping on your face forever here. And so we have that situation in Austin. We have a situation in Grand
Starting point is 00:14:39 Rapids. Before the crash, ICE said that they attempted to stop the vehicle. They didn't stop. So let's just kill the guy, right? Again, if you're breaking immigration law, that's one thing. But in many cases, they're coming after people who weren't breaking any immigration laws. Here's a situation. This was in a Chicago suburb. You've got ice going after a guy. They tackle him. They brutalize him because he doesn't show them his ID. See, we live in a situation that's like Nazi occupied France. Your identity papers, please. And if you don't, you get. a gang of five guys beating you up at the very least, maybe they'll kill you. So what you had was a guy who was not the subject of an investigation.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And they demand his ID. He doesn't, he resists, talks back to them or something about it. He was found on the ground when standards, people who were standing by called the police because they severely injured him and then determined that he really was an American citizen and then just left him on the sidewalk. No medical assistance whatsoever. So the people who were filming all this and who saw it and who heard the guy yelling,
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen. They were the ones who called the police. The police get there and the police get some medical help for him. As a matter of fact, they did a little bit of an investigation. It's not clear whether or not they'll charge anybody yet or not. He had injuries to the head, neck, and his teeth. Witnesses told officers they believed ICE agents were attempting to detain the man.
Starting point is 00:16:12 the police identified him only as a resident of that area. So there were cell phone videos and the people standing by were the ones who called the police because of what ICE was doing. Responding to the scene, one officer encountered two SUVs near an intersection, spoke with an individual and one of the vehicles who identified himself as a federal agent conducting a, quote, fugitive investigation. The person was wearing plain clothes, but he had a vest marked police with, federal law enforcement markings. They told the officer the agents had attempted to identify a person who resembled somebody they were looking for, but the person refused to provide identification and resisted detention.
Starting point is 00:16:53 The agents later determined the man was not the person they were seeking. And they learned he was a U.S. citizen. They just left the beaten man on the sidewalk laying there. That's the respect they have for us. And I said this from the very beginning. You want to condone this because it's a number. an illegal alien who's come here. I said they're going to do this to American citizens because it is a human right that we're recognizing when we put these different things in the bill of rights
Starting point is 00:17:23 that determine the conduct, should determine the conduct of government agents. When they ignore that kind of stuff, they're going to do the same thing to the rest of us. Our rights are not based on being a citizen. Our rights are based on being created in the image of God. And if they're going to treat people with violations like this that way. They're not accused of violent crime even. This is just over the top. Anyway, this is, we're all going to go back to. The individual was given lawful commands, but was not cooperative. You do whatever I say. And if you don't, I'll beat or kill you. I'll leave you on the ground here for somebody else to clean up. That's the attitude of these thugs. And it is a thug agency. And it's exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:11 what Trump wants. It's a perfect reflection of him, just like the guy that he put in charge of it, Mark Wayne Mullen, another thug who was threatening fellow members in the Senate. So, of course, he is eminently qualified to be the head of ICE, isn't he? The Jefferson Police Chief met with a man at the hospital and took photographs and documented his injuries. The Jefferson Police said that its officers noticed blood on the hands of the agent in the SUV. Yeah, literally got blood on their hands.
Starting point is 00:18:47 So again, the citizens who were filming this said, yeah, they're being really rough with him. They had pinned him against the ground and looked like one of the agents was hitting him in the face. He and others tried to comfort the man after the agents released him. But again, they are, DHS spokesperson is absolutely unrepentant. You know, we don't care. We got this law and we don't care what we do to anything. anybody, whether or not they're a legitimate suspect or not. You get in our way, we'll kill you.
Starting point is 00:19:17 You try to film us? We'll crash our car into you. This is a thuggish organization, folks. It is thoroughly anti-American. These are Israeli values. These are not American values. We don't treat people in America. Should not like that.
Starting point is 00:19:31 But we're not been taken over by the Zionists, and we have their values. We kill people who are injured in the water. our military does. And so we've got the TSA now rolling out new scanners on the 25th anniversary. It's just getting worse all the time. They've got a new procedure where they will, they're easing it up. For people who paid a fee who've gotten a background check, they will give you permission to go into the areas where you can meet somebody coming
Starting point is 00:20:02 off of the flight. You can go past the checkpoints. Of course, you've got to go through the checkpoint again. But you can apply for that then three days in advance. It's only good for one day. You know, we were just watching a movie from the 90s the other day. And at one point, somebody goes to an airport and meets somebody. And Karen says, boy, you never really think about how much life has changed, have you?
Starting point is 00:20:27 And what they have done at the airport, folks, they're going to do everywhere. If you let them have this federal police force. And it is disgusting. All of this is happening. even though we knew 10 years after we had, because of a mistake, they posted their redacted discovery documents on a lawsuit about the body scanners. They posted their redacted documents, unredacted, and then they put up the redacted documents.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So we can see they said in 2011, 10 years after 9-11, that there was no threat to airports or airplanes. and yet they continue to ramp this stuff up. So now they've got new scanners, and they're going to be able to do three-dimensional images of all the objects in the traveler's bags. I wonder how much that's going to cost you and I to pay for our police state that is rolled out at the airports.
Starting point is 00:21:22 And what they're saying is that now with this new scanner, you're going to probably have to check some of your carry-on luggage that you've been bringing in before because it's a little bit smaller. That's the arrogance of these. people. So yeah, the feds are targeting AI critics now as foreign agents. This is coming from Ken Klippenstein. He's so the Trump administration sees China behind everything, right? China is behind the opposition to the AI data centers. And so you think that these tactics that they've
Starting point is 00:21:54 been rolling out are for illegals? No, they're just warming up on them. And they're just using them as a push to get digital ID everywhere. of government AI, same thing. So now you are also enemies of the state. And they will beat you as well if you don't have your legally demanded mark of the beast, digital ID. You got that? Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:22 If you don't have that, don't show it. We're going to beat you here. The Trump administration has convinced itself the public concern was manufactured in China. Let me tell you, this is this kind of stuff. It's manufactured by a foreign country. We'll talk about which one it is here in a minute, but it's not China. Anyway, this week, in a little notice remarks by Trump and Justice Department warning, the administration declared war on protesters and opponents of AI threatening criminal liability, quote unquote,
Starting point is 00:22:54 if they, quote, further the propaganda or the other goals of a foreign power. So if you don't agree with Trump, you get purged at the White House. as a press. Interesting update on that, by the way, is that they listed, they said, here's the fake news that's been put out here by Politico and CNN and MS now. And the political article that they had there, they said, look, this is absolutely not true what you had to say. And you're making up these sources. Well, it's now come out that the source for the Politico article was J.D. Vance. and what he said was actually a lie.
Starting point is 00:23:36 It was a lie that was being sold by Trump. Yeah, back in June he's saying, we're going to, we've got some great talks going on. I think that this is going to work, and I think we're going to be able to have peace here, right? So you got J.D. U.S. just passing along the lies of Trump, and Trump is furious about that story and punishing them. Nevertheless, if you disagree with AI,
Starting point is 00:24:01 If you see the problems with it, then you are furthering propaganda from China. You're either with us or you're with them. Don't we always hear that when we have a war? Don't we always say, well, you cannot, we've got a war going on. We're racing with China to become an even worse police state than they are. And if you stand in the way of that, you are the enemy. The actual targets are just normal people. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:24:28 They're part of a government's latest national security mirage. Last week, the Justice Department said that anyone furthering the goals of foreign power, in quote, any public activity, including public demonstrations, quote unquote, must formally notify the government to avoid arrest and prosecution. So there you go. You have to snitch on other people if they are not for the Big Brother surveillance. Yeah, that's exactly the way it works, isn't it? Big Brother cameras, Big Brother is looking and auditing and monitoring everything that you're doing.
Starting point is 00:25:04 They're looking at your history about everything. And if you have a problem with that, then you are an enemy of the state. And if you don't snitch on somebody who's doing that, you are also an enemy of the state. And so it's kind of interesting if you are furthering the goals of a foreign power, they said. Well, now, that would not apply to people who are furthering the goals of, let's say, Israel, would it? No, of course not. Two days prior, Trump began a spate of social posts declaring opposition to AI is traitorous, treasonous, and a conspiracy theory tracing back to China. He said there is a sick conspiracy theory going on around AI and data centers.
Starting point is 00:25:46 The only one that's happy about it is China. And he said, this is on September 14th. He said, conspiracy theorists, treasonous, traders, leakers, beware, he said. Well, the people that say AI, he goes on to say, are going to destroy the world and that data centers are bad for your neighborhood. These people are bad and evil. Childish propaganda, isn't it? He blamed skepticism of AI on an unnamed foreign country. Yeah, we can't see even that it's China, but we all know what he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:26:19 On September the 10th, he had alluded to using the criminal justice system to go after so-called bad actors in the AI space. He said, we'll be looking for bad, and we can do that very easily with our already existing criminal and civil justice system. Just wait until they get the full thing in place. So playing the national security card, says Ken Clippenstein, and it's not just Trump. Congress is doing it also. You've got Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, the guy who is wrong about everything. He asked then acting Attorney General Tom. Blanche to investigate foreign influence efforts targeting the buildout of American AI infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:27:03 He said, alarming reports indicate the network of foreign actors led by the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to manipulate public policy and public opinion on data centers. And so he goes to the guy who is the pedophile protector, Todd Blanche, the guy who does deals for Gislaine Maxwell and Trump. Isn't it interesting that as they identify their suspects, and they've got one guy they're looking at here, Shanghai-based American tech mogul named Neville Roy Singham. I don't know anything about this guy. But they've moved on, haven't they, from Soros? We don't complain about Soros anymore because we've got Besant, who's running the Treasury Department,
Starting point is 00:27:46 and he is also being tipped as a leading candidate for AI czar. So we're not going to talk about Soros anymore, not with these guys. So if you oppose this omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent government, this godlike state, the national security police state, you are an agent of foreign government. But if you are a paid shell, a politician for another certain government that is foreign, that is putting itself in charge of domestic surveillance, that's fine. and Tom Cotton is one of those people. You won't find anyone that is more sold out. You'll find others who are as sold out like this guy. Today, more than ever before, the U.S. Israel Alliance and Friendships is under assault.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It's under assault from forces in the United States that would try to break that friendship. I think that's profoundly dangerous. America's friends with Israel because it is unambiguously in America's national security interests to be friends with Israel. Israel is fighting the enemies of America. Every Hamas terrorist that Israel kills, every Hezbollah terrorist, every IRGC terrorist makes America safer. We stand with Israel because standing with Israel makes American safer. And when the Ayatollah chants death to Israel and death to America, he means it. And those voices in American politics that want to engage in appeasement are profoundly undermining U.S. national security.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Well, let me go on record saying that I'm an enemy of AI and I'm an enemy of the other AI as well, artificial Israel. Because artificial Israel is what this Israel truly is about. It doesn't have anything to do with the Israel or the Old Testament. None at all. They put that mantle around themselves, but they are lying about that. Before we take a break, I'm going to play this clip. This is what our ally, our greatest ally, the ones who are defending us from those deadly people in Lebanon,
Starting point is 00:29:47 You know. Israel has sprayed chemical weapons 11,000 times stronger than normal pesticides across Lebanon. Israel is dropping catastrophic levels of glyphosphate. United Nations pulled test levels that read 11,000 times stronger than normal chemicals. After the Israelis literally demolished the buildings, they're dropping chemical weapons on the ground to make the area uninhabitable. Just multiple war crimes and multiple international law violations going on at once. Lebanon has filed a United Nations complaint for Israel's violation of the case. Chemical Weapons Convention. Because of catastrophic levels of glyphosphate, which is linked to this thing right here on agricultural soil. Normal levels of this would be maybe two micrograms per gram, but they're testing over 22,000. By the way, this has no military advantage. It seeps into the ground, and it doesn't harm anybody there until decades later.
Starting point is 00:30:39 These have long-term effects that most people will not realize until it's far too late in their later years of life, holding no their purpose but long-term civilian pain. Well, you may not have to wait that long. We had someone who worked for us, a really good friend of ours, who got this non-Hodgkins lymphoma that you get from glyphosate. People who work with it get that. And you don't have to wait to the end of your life to get that. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with Tony Arterbin. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, joining us now is Tony Ardibon of Wise Wolf Gold. And again, he set up David Knight gold. So if you go there, he knows that you're coming through us. And he has a great business.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I've dealt with him for years. And, of course, it's a great way to get both a group buy and a dollar cost average a regular savings program to start to get money out of this fiat system that has so much, so many obvious flaws that's what we got right now. We want to talk about a couple of those coming up. How you doing, Tony? I'm doing great, David. It's good to see you. Yeah, there's There's definitely some flaws in the system, and it's starting to really show. Yeah, well, they've got a new thing now that kind of, you know, took off like 1% off the gold price. They said, oh, look at this new metric that we, that new data that we had. It's not a new metric.
Starting point is 00:32:46 They've had it for a while, but the purchasers management index, I think they call it. And so this is a scale that they've set up between zero and 100. If you're above 50, that means the economy is expanding. If you're below 50, it means it's contracting. And so they're looking at this. And again, I don't believe in any of this stuff. I don't even believe that they accurately track the jobs. And they don't believe it either because they'll come out and give you unemployment figures or employment figures.
Starting point is 00:33:14 One quarter later, they will say, no, those are wrong. And they do this consistently. It's like Trump, you know, with his war and peace stuff. The Labor Department will come out then. And both administrations will do this, both the Democrats and Republican. And they'll come out a quarter later. and they'll change the previous quarter's numbers so they can present to you an improving trend. So we've seen that game.
Starting point is 00:33:38 We've seen how they have gamed the inflation figures. And so this PMI that was a basis of people buying and selling and the price of gold changing in terms of dollars, that's just another bit of head fake, in my opinion. I think you're absolutely right. And, you know, statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics. I listened to your show yesterday. One of the representatives from the Trump administration, I forget who it was, but saying how robust small business and how optimistic small business was.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And I'm, what delusion are you living in? I know. I'm small business. I talk to small business people from all walks of life and just regular folks that they don't have a business that are employed or lack of employed. And I talk to them all the time. There's a lot of fear out there. There's a lot of anxiety.
Starting point is 00:34:28 There's a lot. There's so much uncertainty. we live inside the economic clown world order? What is she talking about? Like this, you know, you look at, you know, also create this problem and the response to everything is like, it's not a problem. Yeah, just, you know, oh, you can't afford to eat hamburgers anymore,
Starting point is 00:34:44 just to get some chicken. Right. So, yeah. We've got great chicken prices. I mean, it's so bizarre that they can try to paper over the damage that they've done through the uncertainty. And you can go back. And it's not just one.
Starting point is 00:35:00 administration has done this. It's pretty much every modern administration in my lifetime that has gotten to this point. And if you look at the data coming out, you look at what's happening, David, there's the reality will show you a path. And you mentioned off air. We're going to discuss, you know, what's happening with rates and gold and liquidity. That's where the world is headed. I mean, if you're really studying it, nobody's betting on the future of the dollar system. Nobody's betting on our current economic system. They're betting on what's next. And we're living inside of a relic for lack of a better term.
Starting point is 00:35:42 But if you can see the inflows, the ETF stay, that's another thing. Like, I watch other metrics, not just what the Fed's telling me, you know, we can get to that too on, you know, what they tried to achieve through raising rates. I look at what the inflows of ETFs look like, gold, Bitcoin, things like that, what Hong Kong is doing. I go back to Hong Kong. Hong Kong's adding gold, not just for their physical storage and their exchange hub, but to their own currency backing. Like this is happening around the globe. And so even with the treasury yields being so high, like we're at a 20-year yield basis on that. I mean, it's 20-year high, supposedly.
Starting point is 00:36:27 But people are still moving into gold. Like even bypassing that, bypassing what's happened with bonds and everything else, just still going to gold. And you can see that through what's happening. And this is just the beginning. So we're at a very early stage. And it's interesting that gold and silver are both in the red this morning,
Starting point is 00:36:46 which is a great buying opportunity because it won't sustain itself because of the trends that are happening underlying the entire economic system. I agree. And, you know, when they focus so much on rates, again, they're, as we've said so many times, there's the repo market and all these other different ways that they've got of increasing the money supply, which is going to be inflationary. And the interest rate, little tiny changes that they're making in the interest rate, and really their hands are tied. They can't do anything significant there, as we've talked about in the past. But these little insignificant changes that they're making, where, meanwhile, when nobody is looking, they're creating tons and tons of more dollars.
Starting point is 00:37:26 They've got a lot of different ways they can do quantitative easing. But this is Ed Dowd who said they hiked rates into a supply shock. And he said, that's rarely the right medicine. Because you can't produce more oil or have more shipping capacity by raising rates. That's not going to bring, you know, they're not looking really at the cause at all. The cause, of course, is our government and the Iran war, but they can't do anything about that. So what they'll do is they'll raise rates to make people think that they're doing something about it. And it is as phony, Tony as, I didn't mean by that to rhyme.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Oh, I liked it. But it is as funny as what Trump does when he says we're winning the war. It's just a head fake to get people to fall for it. And a lot of people do. And so when you look at the fundamental issue here, the supply shock that is created by the Trump oil embargo. It's not OPEC, but it's Trump this time. We know what that is, and raising the rates isn't really going to do anything to correct that. You know, what happened with Volcker, that was all the aftermath of the OPEC oil shock. And that set off stagflation, went on for
Starting point is 00:38:40 quite some time, and then eventually he raises the rates to really higher levels. But right now, this is still ongoing. And it is still building. And it is still, you know, we're still accumulating this financial wrath that is going to break on us. And so it's too soon for them to be able to do anything to try to mitigate just even the inflation or the stagflation or the dragflation aspect of this because it's still ongoing. And that's the point that he's making. He says they know this, but they hiked the rates anyway. It is interesting.
Starting point is 00:39:16 I mean, besides the quantitative easing and the increase of the money supply and the massive debt And I think the metrics came out today. It's 365 trillion global debt. I believe that's sovereign debt around the world, not including private debt. So we're in a debt crisis as well as a currency crisis. And you mentioned Paul Volker, and we talk about this all the time. But I read an article on KitCo this last week and somebody made my point where they didn't, they don't have the maneuverability anymore that they did in the 1970s with the debt.
Starting point is 00:39:48 that the sheer number of the amount of 40 trillion plus the unfunded liabilities and the obligations, they don't have the maneuverability anymore. You know, the market share is different. We've built so much fake on top of fake. You know, people want to invest right now. There's a lot of companies building on the Bitcoin network or cryptocurrency networks. And I think that's interesting. It's not a giant market share, but they're building on top of it.
Starting point is 00:40:16 But think of all the stuff that's been built on the Fiat. network. The Viat network's been going on a long time since 1971, officially. They've built a lot of fake stuff on top of that. It's hundreds of trillions. So we're sitting over here, you know, talking about market caps of gold, which is like 20-something trillion and silver. It's like two, two trillion, you know, Bitcoin's 1.2, whatever it is. It's a small amount of finite and a sea of fake. And I, so you don't have to be a genius to figure out that something is, is a miss here. You mentioned the Fed raising rates because inflation got hot. It got hot because why? Because, well, Trump's war is a good example. There's some other
Starting point is 00:40:55 factors, but mainly Trump's war. I mean, if you go back and the reason that the price model for gold and silver changed is because the economic model changed because the price of crude changed. Price of crude went from $60 a barrel to $100 plus dollars a barrel. You know, that tends to change things. Plus, you choke off the supply chain or you cause uncertainty, which changes the futures and the prices of gold and silver have come down. I think it's kind of a bargaining chip, coupon, if you will, because this is stuff going to reset again. So the Fed cannot create new shipping lanes. The Fed cannot create new oil supply, even with the delusional Trump administration, it says they're going to have a willing to worry about the straight of hormones, you know.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Yeah. A worthless piece of water. Are you insane? Like what is it? The guy who is making our pieces of paper worthless. Scott Besson says the straight of Hormuz is going to be just this worthless piece of water. It's interesting. He's getting, he did this financial D-Day thing. I don't know if you've seen that. He listed gold and crypto and other things as a, as a sanctionable currency, sanctionable asset. You know, we're flailing here. The American Empire is going to try to figure out how to stop the transfer of wealth that's going on. These other countries have already figured it out and they're moving off the dollar system. And I think Americans ought to pay attention to that because they're seeing the future. That's the trend. Like, you know, Gerald Slintay does
Starting point is 00:42:23 Trends Journal. Yeah. This is a trend. The trend is away from the dollar. That's right. Absolutely. And as you're pointing out, you know, it's not just the United States that has this issue. You point out how so many nations are underwater with this. Ed Dowd goes on to talk about how housing is already rolling over. He said we've got months supply of housing that's set near the, 2006 peak. And then he says when you look at China, things are even worse. We've got months of oversupply of housing. They have decades of it. I mean, I've seen. Yeah, I've seen entire cities of like mansions. I mean, these are huge, huge homes and very fancy, but they're just setting there with the vines growing up over them, you know, and ghost towns, essentially. And nobody's bought
Starting point is 00:43:12 these properties. That's how bad it is. there. And they've got some YouTubers to go over there and they get inside these houses and show you how nice they are on the inside. And they've only got a couple of people that are roaming around as security. And they just avoid them and go in and show what this looks like. But it is astounding what they've done in terms of oversimilar. And it's a good example of why we don't want the government planning our economy. They don't know what people need. They aren't that smart. They don't have sufficient information. Now, by the way, they still won't have that kind of sufficient information, even with artificial intelligence. It can collate a lot of information,
Starting point is 00:43:49 but they still won't be able to make the right decisions, even if they were honest enough to try, which they aren't honest enough to try to make the right decisions. But that's the reality of this. And so, as what you were talking about before, in terms of the fact that they changed these interest rates and they're having less and less of an impact on the price of gold, typically in the passed is they would raise interest rates and that would draw people away from holding gold that doesn't pay any interest. But even though we're at a very high rate right now, it's not having that much of an effect. That's right. And the reason for that, a couple of articles that I saw here where people are saying, well, they're moving from a trade on gold being based on the competing
Starting point is 00:44:34 interest rates from T-bills. They are moving to a system where they are looking at liquidity. So now gold is no longer a trade on interest rates, but gold is a trade on liquidity. And that's really what the central banks are doing. And as we look at what is happening with it, I think probably the best metric would be what the Chinese central bank is doing. As you've pointed out before, every time the price goes down, they back the truck up by massive amounts of quantity. And they're doing it again. The Chinese central bank is telling us that gold is very, very cheap. And they're not the only central bank that's doing it either. All of them are doing. doing it. And for them, it is a liquidity trade, isn't it? It absolutely is. And I've been saying this for
Starting point is 00:45:19 years. And the more that gold entrenches itself into the financial system, which it's always been a part of it, I mean, gold is the original money. It's so easy to get liquid on gold because there's always a buyer. Spot price is going to be the same in Boston as it is in Bangladesh, most likely. there might be a little variation based off physical supply, but it's basically the same. So when you've got a spot asset that you can get liquid on instantly, that's very valuable in a topsy-turvy uncertain world. If you go back to 2008-09, you know, when a lot of these so-called masters of the universe, when they went belly up because they were over-leveraged like Lehman or Lehman Brothers,
Starting point is 00:46:05 you know why they went belly up because they were leveraged and they tried to liquidate what they had and they could there was no buyers you don't have that problem with gold you might have a problem you know you could have a problem with bonds you could have a problem with teabells it's a it's a potential that potentiality that you would most likely would never ever have a problem with gold i think that is the steadiness of gold i think is another part of its story bitcoin has had a it's up 33 percent over the past two months uh it's It's made some big runs. And even when they raised rates, Bitcoin went up. And one of the things is that a lot of the institutions are buying. You can see the ETF inflows a lot like gold is going up. But it's doing that in the face of all this stuff, the same thing as gold. It's raising bond yields, raising rates. Gold stays steady.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Bitcoin is more volatile, so it's been trading up and it probably will correct again. the point of all that is is that a lot of these things aren't acting. These assets aren't acting like they used to. And so even the short-term traders and people that are used to the same system, they've got normalcy bias, I think. We all do to some degree. But I don't think they're understanding what's happening. It's the new, it's a debasement trade.
Starting point is 00:47:27 And it's a new economic system being developed. That's really what's happening in the face of all this. And that really is a great point about how the Fed can't make. any more oil. It was a stupid thing to do. You know, it most likely would have been better to just do nothing. Yeah. At the end of the day, because it signals that you're doing, so you're still, the central planning, and if you remember, what is it, the fifth plank of the communist manifesto is a central bank, David, I think it's the fifth plank. I read it, I read the whole manifesto like the planks or the deal on, on your show one time when I hosted down in Austin. I read the,
Starting point is 00:48:05 I think number five is the central bank. So it's a Marxian idea of central centralization and central planning. And we both know that it doesn't work, obviously. And what the government's given us is they've given us fiat currency upside down, in an upside down economy, in a true free market with sound money, prices would be going down. We'd have a deflationary economy. And we don't. We have an inflationary economy.
Starting point is 00:48:31 That should tell you something. And another aspect, of the United States that's unfortunate is that over time we stopped making things. And that's where real wealth comes from. That's the Chinese. I mean, they made overbuilt a bunch of stuff, but they're a powerhouse still. I mean, they're manufacturing powerhouses where real wealth and leverage comes from. And we really, we sold that out. You know, we basically banned it, just like they did in the EU, basically deindustrializing the West and turning it all over to China and to India. They did that through the 2015 climate accord. I think they did, the Paris Climate Accord.
Starting point is 00:49:12 So, yeah, they basically have kneecapped our manufacturing. That's why when you look at what is happening in terms of all the tariffs, that's not going to bring anything back either. That's just as stupid as raising the interest rates when you cut off the oil. Yeah. It really is. It could have been strategic. It could have been smart, but this is the Trump administration. So we're doing something destructive, which I think maybe that's his role in the great reset. I do. I do think so. Is an agent of chaos. And it certainly is to give a black eye or maybe just completely delegitimize the America First movement or nationalism or traditionalism.
Starting point is 00:49:50 And I mean, just the civil war that's going on right now, just in conservatism alone, if there isn't even such a thing anymore, should tell us where we are. I mean, we're headed into another thing about. the economic issues is I'm not sure what all this is going to look like past the November Democratic sweep, which looks like a inevitability to me. I bet we're going to make some, there's going to be some record set. And people have apathy that are actually paying attention that could be considered themselves a right of center.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I don't know anybody who's fulfilled or feels like this is great. I mean, maybe you might get some outliers and people that are still drunk off the, the Kool-Aid, but I, but it's, it's not, it's not typical. And I think even here in Texas we're going to have, and by the way, I don't support it. I'm just saying the Republicans deserve to lose. Yeah. At some level, I didn't make the rules. You guys did, you know, like, you guys did a terrible job. We had the world in the palm of your hand and you blew it. So you deserve to lose, and I think that they will. And that's going to set the tone for a lot of things. I'm not sure exactly what it does economically, but it can't be good.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Well, we look at Texas, for example. You know, how do you get a situation where both the governor and the Senate race, the Republicans are losing now in terms of the polls? They're behind in the polls. And that's not the only state. It's happening all over the place. It's happening in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, Iowa. You're seeing these typically Republican areas, and they're struggling.
Starting point is 00:51:25 And they know it. And so the people who still haven't jumped ship, right? out there telling Trump he's got to clear martial law and steal the election. We're right back to 2020 again, aren't we? You got to wonder how much of this is planned. Yeah. You know, it's such a waste of time for us to even have this division politically in this country and when realized it's just the, you know, the bankster overlord class that wants to
Starting point is 00:51:51 bring us into an agenda 21, agenda 2030, great reset situation, one world government thing. That's, again, they tell you. what they're doing. And then we, we still go at each other, this left, right paradigm. And it's sad. You know, the Democrats have true believers that run in their party. And they really believe that stuff. So you give them credit for that. But the Republicans, what I've noticed is they really like to raise money. They don't really like to rule. That's my, it's my observation over a lifetime of living in running in the Republican primary. I just don't see them doing well coming up.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It may be a long time before they do well again, if ever. I mean, there's a lot of damage that's been done, especially, well, why wouldn't Greg Abbott be primary? You know, like, why is he still there? You know, like, after COVID, especially, you know. Exactly. And if you're governor of Texas and you still have an open border, I mean, what did you do? Like, I mean, I just don't understand. I do understand the Republican Party, but I don't understand people's affinity to reelect people to do the same thing.
Starting point is 00:52:57 So I think there's a reckoning happening. You're right. Yeah, they don't deliver, but they do accept donations. Yes, they do. And they've got a lot of them. They got a war chest that's like $400 million. It's amazing. The problem is they don't have a story to tell anymore.
Starting point is 00:53:12 They can't go back and make these promises because they ring so hollow. They've had control of this stuff, as you went out. Just there in Texas. They've had control of this stuff. And while they've done, nothing with it. Or they've made the situation much worse. Well, they're talking to people that no longer. exist. You know, like I think they ran to fool a certain demographic of people that,
Starting point is 00:53:33 because of the shots and things that they actually pushed, might not be around anymore, or just sheer age, you know, like, I think this is something that happened, you know, the Trans Texas corridor was a big thing. And you remember this day, we'd go back to the early 2000s. They had billboards here in Texas. Like, we're building the Trans Texas corridor, which was the NAFTA super highway and all that stuff. You had Condoleezza Rice going down to to Baylor University talking about the Amero and like the linkage of Canada and Mexico, people said no. And it didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:54:04 It literally stopped the trans Texas corridor. But the sad part is that demographic of people has mostly disappeared. And I think they're talking to, they're still trying to do like, you know, they'll try to bring up transgender bathrooms again or something. They're like, we get it.
Starting point is 00:54:20 But in the middle of everything that's going on, like all they do is just bring up a wedge issue and not deliver. but to get back to the economics of it, I think paying attention to, at least for intel of the politics, is important because we're going to be living through like a culture shock. It's going to be a lot of, on the other side of this year,
Starting point is 00:54:40 we're going to have some real political infighting. And it's going to look, there's not going to anything that's going to happen, like positive economically that's going to be passed. If anything happens, this bipartisan, you and I both know, it's something bad for the American people.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Like anything that's bipartisan at this point, something really horrible. So I don't think there's much chance of that even happen. I think it's going to be a lot of gridlock and the world's going to continue to move on. So it's going to be an interesting thing. I think the best we can know for at this point in time is gridlock, exactly. But, you know, when you look at all this stuff, I remember, of course, back in the 1980s, early 1980s, as everything was really interest rates for sky high and all the rest of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:23 And my dad was real excited about getting. into T-bills and CDs and all the rest of this stuff. And I looked at it's like, I just don't really want to try to play that game. Of course, when you buy you when it's really high, if they lower the interest rates, you're still pretty good shape. But it's a situation like right now where the interest rates are relatively low and they start to raise them now. Of course, they're going to cut the face value of your bonds as well.
Starting point is 00:55:47 But I looked at that stuff and they were talking about and I joked with them. I said, well, I'm putting all my money in CDs. And I held up one of the little compact. this. I can enjoy this. I can't enjoy that piece of paper over there. I'm constantly worried about what's going to happen to the value of it. That's the way I feel about gold. You know, you get gold and you don't have to worry about the value of you. Trying to sit there and watch the tick or take all the time and see what's happening with it. As a matter of fact, you know, China is looking at this and we said they're continuing to buy. They have imported 1,200 tons in 2026. And that is as much
Starting point is 00:56:24 in the first eight months of the year, they have surpassed what they brought in for the entirety of 2025. So it tells you what they think in terms of all these pieces of paper and treasury bills and things like that. They're putting their money into gold. Maybe you should think about that as well.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Again, two-thirds of the year, and they have surpassed the entire total of the previous year. And you put that into perspective, too, Dave. Like, if you actually know the holdings, like central banks in total hold like 36,000 tons. So the Chinese just brought in 1,200 tons. The United States supposedly holds 8,000 plus tons, supposedly.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Right. Half of it's supposed to be in Fort Knox, the other it's on Fed balance sheets. Again, supposedly, right? The argument that the Chinese hold more gold than us, it holds a lot of water. I mean, if you look at, they bought gold secretly off the books, at the beginning of the century.
Starting point is 00:57:26 As soon as George W. Bush added them on December 11th, 90 days after 9-11, for the most favored nation's trading status with the WTO, as soon as they were added and you watch the siphoning of wealth gone, they bought gold off the books, massive amounts of it. And they have like 60,000 gold mines. China doesn't do like a net expert. ports. It does net imports of gold. So they're preparing for what's next. And I think there's a lot of other places in the world that are doing the same thing. And I think with the digitized system and
Starting point is 00:58:07 blockchain and other things will be added to this with gold in real time. And again, that's not the best way to own gold. But it will happen. There will be a blockchain trading system for gold that people will be able to do around the world off the dollar system. All it is is signaling to me that the dollar system is antiquated. And we weaponized it. You mentioned the tariffs and all the threats that think about the psychosis that coming out of the White House with some of this stuff. Like the rest of the world must be just going to,
Starting point is 00:58:39 you know, you mentioned the other day you were talking about Krushchev taking his shoe off and beating in the podium at the U.N. Yeah. And saying we will bury you. And, you know, that's a different generation back then. We took him at his word and buried him.
Starting point is 00:58:52 And that was the old coal warrior mentality. But we didn't do it by beating our shoe louder. You know, like it wasn't, we didn't take our clown shoe off and beat the podium. But that's where we are now. I mean, we live in a time where everything is kind of inverted and upside down. And so worst parts of us, unfortunately, are in control. So it's good to know that at least some things are still working out on the financial system. I mean, even with goals.
Starting point is 00:59:22 gold in the red right now. At least I know that, you know, it's funny, I have no doubt in my mind. If I buy a little bit of gold or a little bit of silver, I'll be better off in five years than I am, you know, today. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk about that when we come back. And as a matter fact, we've got a couple of questions for you as well. We've got to take a quick break here at the top of the hour, folks. We'll be right back. And joining us now again is Tony Ardibon of Wise Wolf Gold. And we're just about to give him a question from a listener here. Question for Tony. This is from Hatchcar 61. He says, with an ever-ending increase in diesel fuel, well, why is Wolf wolf start charging shipping for Wolfpack subscriptions and non-Wolf Pack purchases?
Starting point is 01:01:37 How are you going to handle that? I mean, we're seeing that going, because we sell some stuff on our store, T-shirts and coins and things like that. We're really seeing the shipping going sky high. It's amazing. I'm always trying to figure out how not to pass those costs on. I don't like the shipping costs. One of the things I've been talking to a couple of different different firms about doing a blanket shipping price. It's one of the things we see from like the trading floor. If you order for me, it's funny, these big contracts that are insured a lot of times, depending on the product, we have a pretty stable shipping price.
Starting point is 01:02:11 And it's usually like 25 bucks for large orders. And it stays that way. It's crazy. But for Wolfpack, we're always looking for ways to get around that. I mean, even the shipping cost on the smaller packages, like I pay more than I charge for shipping. It's like, it's like maybe I charge eight bucks and then it's 12. Well, the good news is, is that as the dollar keeps losing value, the, uh, the packages keep getting lighter weight, right? Right. It's like it gets lighter. Yeah, it's shipping as far as the weight that I sent out,
Starting point is 01:02:42 even with the increase in memberships, it is less, less weight that I've sent out, unfortunately. Um, but no, I, I, that's a good question. I'm, I'm always looking for ways to make shipping free. if I can. But yeah, we live in a world where they've got record diesel prices, and everything's going to get put back on us to fit that bill, even though we're supposed to be living in this robust, small business-friendly economy, whatever. Now, I do my best. I mean, it's not something I just automatically do and throw on the customer.
Starting point is 01:03:15 You know, I'm more interested in, I have a long-term relationship with anybody who's doing business with me instead of gouging. That's great. Well, what else is going on besides trying to figure out how you're going to manage these shipping costs? We've got a lot of things. Yeah, we figure it out, you know, just I think we talk about this every week, but just keeping the doors open at this point. I mean, we're keeping the supply chain. I'm always looking for new inroads to, you know, relationships with suppliers and mints and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Just keeping variety going. But no, I'm just grateful to be here. and, you know, I'm in the middle of this. I would just underscore to people, but, you know, just like we saw in the period before, between the election and between Trump taking office, we had this period of time where gold just kind of went sideways for quite a while. We're in that kind of period of time right now, again, because of Trump and his pronouncements and his actions and things like that that are happening.
Starting point is 01:04:12 But it is now, I think, just as it was then, a good time to take advantage of the drop and price. and we just look at it as a period where it's been on extended sale price. Because we know the fundamentals, yeah. I think another thing to look at, and I don't mention it enough, but the IRA issue with, you know, with current IRAs and current 401Ks and other things that are linked to paper stocks, which I don't even know how much, how real any of these things are actually valued. But you can go and do a,
Starting point is 01:04:50 a gold and silver IRA through us and have physical metals, which it's outside of the banking system. It's inside of a, you know, you got storage facilities, which, you know, it's not exactly perfect, but you have something that's not tied to a company, not tied to, you know, shareholders or anything like that. It's just you and your metals and those stay that way. I think that's a great way to hedge against what's on the horizon, too. At least even in kept it's just separate from what you do.
Starting point is 01:05:20 even if it did nothing, at least it would protect your wealth. I agree. Given the uncertainty, which I don't want to just paint this as, you know, total chaos on the horizon or doom and gloom, but it is some strangeness. Well, the stock market has always been something of a casino, right? Everybody pretty much knows that. And we've got a guy in charge now who has bankrupted a lot of casinos. Well, the metrics of what's going on in the stock market right now,
Starting point is 01:05:47 besides the inflated price earnings ratios, especially for these few stocks that are mostly the market. This headline, fewer stocks are carrying the market than at any time since the dot-com peak. And so, I mean, we're seeing all of these markers that aren't necessarily a repeat of history,
Starting point is 01:06:10 but they certainly are rhyming. And so we have to ask, you know, what do you think is going to be happening with this in the future? It's just like when we, saw what Trump was doing with the Iran war. It's like, okay, we've seen this play out before. We saw it in 1973. We've seen this type of thing with a dot-com situation. We've seen that play out most recently in our lifetime. Of course, there's been many of others just like that when they had
Starting point is 01:06:35 railroads came in, when the electric grid started running in. And so you had a lot of people who were so excited about the transformative technology that they get overly enthusiastic, I guess, in the words of Greenspan, irrational exuberance kicks in. And that irrational exuberance creates a bubble. And even though the technology may be something that is fundamental and transforming, they can still get way ahead of it. And when they get that far ahead of it and somebody points that out because it is kind of a group mentality and they realize that,
Starting point is 01:07:10 then they panic in the other direction. And I think that's really where we are right now with the stock market as well. So when we talk about gold being an insurance policy, I think people need to take a look at that in preservation of wealth. I don't know. It's when you look at it and you look at the uncertainty of the stock market and the things that have happened in the past, that might be something you want to factor into your decisions.
Starting point is 01:07:32 You get the feeling that somehow the mismanagement will have to pay a price. You know, like somehow all the mismanagement and chaos and, it's been antithetical to growth, like the policies from the administration, and not just this one, but the previous ones, too. And it's just compounded. I mean, you and I started, when you and I first started talking, gold was about $1,200 an hour. So, and we've seen gold at $5,600. And it will, interesting enough, isn't it, that we live in a time where you and I have both know the all-time highs of these metals. And we're not anywhere near.
Starting point is 01:08:13 them right now. And we just live through them. So do you think they're going to be back to where they were? Of course they will. As far as dollars. But the stock market and all the other things, like the metrics tied to that and looking like the 2000.com bust, I think that's something to pay attention to because a lot of these companies aren't built off true earnings anymore. This isn't that's the other thing about this is very different. I mean, when we look at the dot com bust, you didn't have a situation like in vidia where they are you know floating loans to the customers to buy their product and then booking that as sales and it's crazy what's happening with this they really have gamified this system in a way we didn't even see with the dot com bust haven't they yeah and i think that's
Starting point is 01:08:56 that's part of of the extension of what i talk about and and you know if you had an economy with with sound money and it was built on true structure and true uh earnings we wouldn't have these kind of companies. There would be competition. There would be a lot more diversity and decentralization in the economy. But this is what happened. I mean, if you remember Venezuela, they had a booming stock market and their currency was collapsing. I think that they're not the only country that's happened that way. We definitely look that way. It looked like there could be some runs on the, current currency system. You look at what the Treasury is doing, which is pretty unprecedented buying back these long-term bonds.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Like they're about, what, $11 billion into buying bonds back right now, which has never happens, basically quantitative easing. I guess he's doing the same thing the NVIDIA CEO is doing. Right. This is something funny, the Timpkin economy that is out there, don't we? It is interesting. And that the rest of the world's kind of, I think, bracing for that worldwide debt. You know, they're going to have to reset the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:10:07 That's funny. We kind of come back to that every time. The current system won't last. That's why I think I'm outside of it. I'm on part of the debasement trade. I think that, you know, again, you don't have to be that smart to figure it out. But I don't even pay attention to price most at all.
Starting point is 01:10:23 I do in the morning to set my buy percentages, but I don't even really care. I just look at what I know what's going to be, you know, mathematically certain in about five to 10 years. That's right. I feel good about what I do. I wish we could get out of the political system as easily as we can exit the financial system in many different ways.
Starting point is 01:10:41 But again, if you want to do that, you can go to David Knight.Gold, and Tony will help you do that on a gradual basis. And dollar cost average this stuff out. I've, looking at the articles about gold, I see at least three large banks that have said, yeah, we think the price of gold should be about $5,000.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Well, that's about 16, 17% above where it is right now. And so, as you point out, it wasn't that long ago that it was significantly above $5,000. And all of the things that we see happening are nothing has been fixed. What they've done is they've added new problems to the existing problems or made them all worse in many, many ways. So just keep that in mind and protect yourself is what I would say to people. Thank you so much for joining us, Tony. And you've got a
Starting point is 01:11:29 transmission coming up after this one. Sir, yeah, Arterburn Radio transmission. I'll be live on Rumble, the America Unplugged channel, and at Tony Arderburn on X. Great, great. Thank you so much for joining us. We really do appreciate it. And thank you for supporting us. Have a good day. Thank you. And folks, we're going to take a real quick break, and we will be right back. Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to hear it in your pod. You'll owe nothing. Be happy. Ain't got no cash. Ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm. Oh, nothing. Be happy. You can't even buy shit in the store Because of your low social credit score
Starting point is 01:12:30 Oh, nothing, be happy, oh nothing And be happy, be happy and eat the bugs All right, welcome back And I want to thank people who have left some tips here We got IRS machine gun Thank you very much for that I said let's get the gas gauge to read full And evidently right after that star Barkley came back and matched it
Starting point is 01:13:03 And said, how's that? Vroom Well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. And I've got some, we've had some checks that have come in. I just wanted to read some of the stuff to you that people wrote. As a matter of fact, I wanted to pass along a prayer request for Stacey. Her mother just had a pacemaker put in. And so she's praying it all goes well.
Starting point is 01:13:26 We'll be praying for that as well. And I hope that that goes through well. We have, these are the people's checks that we just received this last week. Stephanie K. William G. Matthew H., Karen B., Sylvia, H. And that's a new supporter that we had there who just recently found us. And she writes, So glad I found your channel recently. I don't always agree with some of your guests.
Starting point is 01:13:50 But don't worry, I voice my opinions about it. Well, that's fine. You don't have to even agree with me all the time. The important thing is to think. And the important thing is to do research, to get some information out there, draw your own conclusions. And so I hope that I can be a part of that. But thank you so much for supporting us and for, I'm glad that you found us. Stacey P., Fred and Jackie U., Ronald C., Aaron W., and The Sellers, Matt and Monica. Thank you so much, all of you, for all of the support
Starting point is 01:14:25 that you have given us. And I've got one more note here. This is, oh, this is from the sellers saying, can't wait for a beautiful fall in eastern Tennessee. I can't either. It's been hot for too long. And I love when the leaves change as well. Looking forward to that. And they're starting to fall right now. It's just beginning. That's right. Yeah, it's starting to cool off this week, finally. Well, before we broke to go to Tony and to talk about what is happening financially, we were talking about what Israel was doing in Lebanon, which helps to explain the reception. that Netanyahu got at the UN. He spoke at the UN, and I wanted to show this to you.
Starting point is 01:15:09 It is visual for those people who are listening on radio or on a podcast. I sped it up about two and a half times, but you'll hear people clapping. There's a small group of Netanyahu supporters, clapping very loudly, but all the people there in the audience got up and left as he was taking the podium. Look at this. I sped it up two and a half a few and a few.
Starting point is 01:15:33 half times. Getting out really fast. But look at that. All empty seats there. We don't really care what he has to say. I can't hear you because I see what you're doing. I think that's the bottom line. We see what they're doing, how heinous that is with glyphosate, putting that much stuff
Starting point is 01:15:52 there. I forget what the units of measurement were, but it was something like typically they put two in, and that's bad enough. That poisons of soil, so nothing will grow there except for Monsanto's seeds. but they're putting in, not two, but they're putting in 22,000, whatever those units were. This is what it looked like as he was about to speak, completely empty. And they've heard the dog and pony show about nuclear weapons in Iran, and they're not buying it. But the Israelis are buying us, aren't they?
Starting point is 01:16:23 How Israeli intelligence took over Prager You and why they're pushing data centers. This is from J.D. Hall. It's an excellent article about it. He said, Prager U is now selling conservatives one of the largest corporate resource grabs in American history, urging ordinary people to surrender land, resources, and personal liberty to trillion-dollar tech companies building the AI infrastructure designed to replace their jobs and to monitor their lives. The campaign is being advanced through data center executives, an industry-connected evangelist, and a Jewish-Israel activist.
Starting point is 01:16:58 while Prager U itself is run by Marissa Strite, a former member of Unit 8200, Israel's elite intelligence and cyber warfare division. Oh, and it's funded by the Adelson family. Prager U presents a patriotism that is a demand that Americans finance their own replacement, subsidize their global surveillance state that will govern them, and applaud while a foreign intelligence to big tech pipeline helps to construct it in their own backyard. And he's exactly right. That is what is happening with this. And he goes down the list of people who have been bought off and the people who are out there writing their op-ed pieces who in most cases are either heavily connected to Israel or heavily connected to one of these AI companies. For example, one of them,
Starting point is 01:17:49 a program called the brief, they had a guy named Shabos Kestenbaum. And another guy, Joe Honan, the CEO of Singularity Compute. I guess we figure out where they are, right? What they did was a paid infomercial designed as a conservative education about why Americans should stop worrying and learn to love the server farm. It even rhymes to Dr. Strangelove, doesn't it? Shabos Kestenbaum is an Orthodox Jewish activist who became nationally prominent after suing Harvard for not limiting free speech enough on campus.
Starting point is 01:18:23 when students or faculty criticized Israel. He's become one of Prager U's most aggressive defenders of Israel. He's not a tech journalist. He's not an energy specialist. He's not any kind of a tech specialist. So what would he be doing reporting on AI? Well, he's just a political messenger, writes J.D. Hall, whose job is to translate establishment priorities
Starting point is 01:18:45 into the language of moral urgency and patriotism. And so criticizing a foreign nation, should not be on the list of offenses, should it? Should that be a crime? How in the world did that ever become a crime? But when referring to the devastation of Gaza, Heston bomb said, I do not defend Israel's defense forces.
Starting point is 01:19:08 I laud and applaud them every day. And I'm proud of what Israel has done. How can somebody be proud of what is happening there? I just, it repulses me. It's just in every regard. So again, the other guy's singularity companies building the computing infrastructure required for AI. And they asked him about who not America needs more data centers. He said, that's about as meaningful a question is asking Philip Morris if we should have,
Starting point is 01:19:39 if we should all smoke more cigarettes. Of course, he's going to tell you need to buy more of his product. He says the pitch is really simple. Data centers create jobs. That is until the construction phase is over. And then there's basically no jobs. The data centers strengthen national security. Of course, they also eradicate your privacy.
Starting point is 01:19:59 They cure disease as well. No, actually, they don't. Not only have we not had any proof of this, but we have seen the fact that Trump has pushed this just like the MRAJabs. There was no evidence that they cured anything either. But the hope is out there, oh, we're going to have cancer vaccines
Starting point is 01:20:18 and custom-made vaccines for you with MRA. And the thing is, even if these did create labs, There are some jobs that aren't worth doing. The United States is more than an economic zone. I don't care if this makes the GDP go up if it makes the country worse. Yeah, exactly. I don't see how being in a data center, whatever you would be doing.
Starting point is 01:20:37 I don't see how that would be any more fulfilling than working on some kind of an assembly line, maybe less fulfilling. You're not even producing anything tangible or visible at the end of the day. You're spying on people, recording their life, invading their privacy. That's right. we are, as I pointed out earlier, you are either on board or you are a Chinese communist and a patsy for them, right? We're also told that it's going to stimulate local economies, right? We've been told that about all these stadium subsidies, sports stadium subsidies, haven't we?
Starting point is 01:21:13 And look at the situation with Robert Kraft, as I pointed out this week. You know, the guy who is canceling concerts, if you've got somebody who's playing in the concert who has criticized the genesis, side in Gaza. No, you get canceled. But this guy who got his government subsidy for his stadium is also using it to spy on Americans for Israel. That's Robert Kraft. So yeah, I guess when they talk about it being a boon to the economy, they're not talking about our economy. And so in December of last year, Prager released a report from Mark Mills. What will power the AI revolution? He explained the artificial intelligence requires massive data centers and correspondingly massive quantities of electricity.
Starting point is 01:21:57 That's an unavoidable technology, and even though the Prager audience was not told that he is a partner in an energy technology venture fund, he advises a consortium that's dedicated to digital infrastructure and previously spent seven years on the board of one of the world's leading data center engineering firms. Another one of the situations where it's just a PR commercial propaganda for particular industry.
Starting point is 01:22:24 In September 26, the campaign accelerated. He had Victor Davis Hanson told viewers that America's survival and the AI race depended on energy dominance. I just got to say, Victor Davis Hansen is, I think, one of the worst historians I have ever seen or heard. And he doesn't get it at all about anything. He certainly, he doesn't understand what our recent history was in 2020. And I don't trust him or agree with him on his history of things that are older that didn't happen while he was around. But he is just delivering more infomercials for these industrial concerns here. Also, this is another thing I always think about.
Starting point is 01:23:08 We see how unreliable the people who record our current history is. How do we know how reliable the people who recorded past history were? That's why I don't look at the history text. I always want to go back and go to current sources. And that is, you know, take a look at what the people who are writing said at the time, not a summarized, a condensed version that you get in a textbook. You can go back and you can find the diaries. Actually, you know, when you go back to the Civil War,
Starting point is 01:23:36 you can find a lot of people could actually write and think. It's surprising, you know. Even very young people could write and think at a level that most of us would envy today. So again, even in one of these pieces, one guy stopped and said, well, I know this sounds a lot like propaganda. He points out, yeah, because it is. But it is all about how China is funding all of this opposition, and we have got to stop it. That is the line that's being sold out there. But the key issue is when you go back and you look at the connection as he does in this article, J.D. Hall,
Starting point is 01:24:11 with this person who is now running the agency, her connection. running Prager U, I should say. Marissa Strite, she is somebody who is their chief executive officer, and she was trained in Unit 8200 Cyber Command, which is the Israeli version of the NSA, but it's even more than that. They identify promising recruits as teenagers, and then they train them in technology, then they ship them to the U.S., kind of like, you know, that's... fifth column in a sense. Unit 8200 is not just an Israeli version of the NSA, though it is that.
Starting point is 01:24:55 It is a military intelligence factory that recruits technically gifted Israelis while in their teens, trains them in signal interception, data analysis, surveillance, cyber warfare, and artificial intelligence, offensive hacking, and then releases them into the private technology industry with skills acquired while serving the Israeli state. and you've got a lot of American companies that were created by them. One of them is ways, interestingly enough. And where does all the data that they collect go? Well, it goes back to Israel, but you're not allowed to criticize them.
Starting point is 01:25:30 And if you criticize the industry that they're creating to spy on us, then you are a Chinese government agent. That is what we're being told by these people. Well, as all this is happening, the FBI just got a major hack and it's by a group that is called, calls themselves shiny hunters. And they were taunting the FBI about this. First, they got information about the FBI agents that were investigating them and leaked that out. They don't know who these people are, but they took over the FBI website and said that they owned it for a while and they, and a lot of parts of the FBI website have been taken down.
Starting point is 01:26:13 they claim they have data on all FBI employees, including former employees, including people who applied for a job of the FBI, but never were hired by the FBI. And we don't really know they imply that they've got some other information there as well. It should be interesting to see if they've got anything on Cash Patel. I can't imagine that this guy is squeaky clean. So we'll have to wait and see what they turn up here. But again, massive hack. And stop and think about that.
Starting point is 01:26:43 These people who have always told us, where you can trust us and you can trust all this information we've got there, the Pentagon has been hacked, the FBI has been hacked, the NSA and the CIA have been hacked. That was Vault 7 hack, where they got their software
Starting point is 01:26:59 that they used to hack other people and disguise their identity. Well, that was stolen from the CIA and the NSA. Nothing on the internet is safe, and this is why I don't trust Bitcoin. When you look at this, it is a chess match that is constantly going on and didn't work out too well for them. Some of this information was verified by Reuters because they did post a sample of some of the data there. And from the data, Reuters would go through and found that did match up in some cases.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Some people had openly put that they worked for the FBI so they could find on the web validate that they had worked for the FBI. They have already gone through. Typically the types of things that shiny hunters would do is to hack in somewhere and to blackmail a company grabbing their business records and things like that. They just recently hacked into Rockstar Games, the people who made Grand Theft Auto. Earlier this month, Anthropics said that it had caught some shiny hunters that were trying to use its tools to hack into other countries.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I have a question about that, you know. I've said this every time when somebody says, oh, look, this is a hack and it was done by Iran. How do you know that? You don't know that. Again, the Vault 7 software that was stolen was something that was there to disguise your identity, make you look like you're coming from a different culture, different country. They would look at keystrokes or whatever that they were looking at, and they would say, yeah, we identified that as coming from Russia, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:28:37 Well, that was what Vault 7 was designed to fake. And so you never know where this stuff is coming from. My question is, if Anthropic says that it was shiny hunters that were trying to hack using their tools, how did they know that? And if they knew that, why didn't they stop these people? I mean, they stopped somebody from using it, but they didn't help the FBI to get these people. They're still on the loose with this. But it turns out that it's going to probably be a nightmare for Cash Patel.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Just another example of incompetence, if it's not. going to be something that is even more damaging coming out. So nothing is secure online, folks. That's the bottom takeaway from all of this stuff. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Stay with us. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, as I was saying, when I was talking to Tony, you look at what is happening politically and it is, we're seeing across the country in areas that were strongly Republican, like in Florida, for example, you have in the Florida governor's race, they have now moved from a Leans Republican to a toss-up.
Starting point is 01:31:25 It is Byron Donald's, who you were just heard early in the program talking about how, yeah, he's kind of okay with flock cameras. I think it's the kind of thing like we've seen with cell phone towers or something. No, it's completely different. It may have some health issues with it, but this is a completely different animal. He is somebody who, they had some good candidates on the Republican side in the primaries, but they lost. And this is the guy who made it through because he got Trump's endorsement, probably because he is a Zionist shill as well as being a shill for artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 01:32:01 And it was just the other day that Laura Ingraham was saying to Larry Kudlow, it looks like the Republicans, some of them, want Trump to lose. I would say they got it backwards. I think Trump wants the Republicans to lose because I've always thought he's a New York City Democrat and he wants to have just a cult that is there, a personality cult around him. And so it's not just in Florida. I said currently he's still slightly favored to win, but it's now a close race there. But as I pointed out, it's also a close race in Texas.
Starting point is 01:32:37 Texas for both governor and for Senate. How do you have a situation where you've got an awful candidate like Tala Rico, who is polling ahead of Ken Paxton? Well, it's because Ken Paxton is an even worse in many regards. His wife that he trashed there had just had a statement. She's a politician as well and elected in office. And she said, well, you may be angry, but you still need to vote Republican. I guess she's still angry, but she should be.
Starting point is 01:33:11 She has a good reason to be. But anyway, most of these people are starting to move away from Trump. Even Byron Donald removed some mentions of Trump's name and the newest layout for his website. The old layout featured a banner at the top of his webpage that read, Chip in to support Trump endorsed Byron Donald's. And then right below that, it said, Trump endorsed, all in uppercase. So he mentioned that he was endorsed by Trump? Well, he doesn't want to do that now.
Starting point is 01:33:40 There was also another bar that noted the endorsement next to a photo of Trump. However, in the new layout, they only showed Trump's endorsement in a box that is next to other endorsements for the Florida representative, so they're not featuring that at all. Other Republican candidates facing tight races like Ashley Henson and Iowa is running for Senate or Mike Rogers and Michigan have distanced themselves from a Trump on the Iran War, both noting its effect on the cost of living and the fact that it is not going well. And the GOP is also very worried about what's happening in a Senate race in North Carolina,
Starting point is 01:34:20 which they thought they had that in the bag. So both races, both statewide races in Texas for governor and for Senate, a Senate race in North Carolina that is now in play, even in Kansas and South Carolina. because Trump insisted on putting in Lindsey Graham's sister who doesn't know anything and is kind of proud of it. And he insisted on putting her in there. So Trump is now in a situation where all these people are trying to run away from him, as one person put it. They're tripping over themselves to try to escape from him. Ballots are the Republicans on the ballot are tripping over themselves right now.
Starting point is 01:35:04 frantically trying to get as far away from Trump and his toxic political brand and his toxic economy as they possibly can. According to Punchbowl, any one of these might have commanded our airways and headlines when it was actually dangerous or politically touchy to break with Trump. But now nobody's even paying attention because it is so widespread. He dropped down in the popularity polls now below 30% at 29%. He is turning now to his vanity projects, monuments in his name. As he holds the Kennedy Center hostage for refusing to put its name on it, he now is even reportedly thinking about putting his name on the Ford Theater, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
Starting point is 01:35:51 Well, there is one way he could get his name on there. Send him a ticket, I guess, but he regrets he's only got one ear to give for his country. This continually blows my mind because it really does seem like in the past, you know, these halls and things were named after people by other people looked to them and said they were great. They did great things we should honor them, not by some self-aggrandizing narcissist coming in saying, put a building over there and put my name on it. Yeah. I want plaques with my name on it everywhere. Yeah. It's just this petty need for validation.
Starting point is 01:36:28 That's right. Might want to wait until the person is dead so you can kind of weigh the overall balance in their life good. and bad, but of course, he's doing this, naming it after himself, which brings up this meme, which I thought was really funny. Here's Dr. Evil, and he says, and if they won't give in to our demands, then we will rename bodies of water near them. That's kind of what is happening with Trump, isn't it? So a growing number of Republicans are breaking with him, and it's not just the politicians,
Starting point is 01:36:58 it is also the podcasters that are out there, hitting the panic button, and do it. a Alex Jones. As a matter of fact, as I pointed out the other day, Laura Ingram said, well, I was always against the Iran war. No, she was one of the biggest cheerleaders at the very beginning of this and well into it, months into it. She's basically doing the same thing
Starting point is 01:37:18 that Alex Jones did, oh, I was always against all this stuff. No, you were cheering it for the longest period of time. As a matter of fact, Steve Dees and Iowa podcasters said yesterday Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that
Starting point is 01:37:33 if you are in a plus 15 district, you're within the margin of error. If you are in a plus 10 district, you're underwater. And that this might end being a given even worse midterm environment than in 2006. Think about that. What they're talking about there, if you're in a plus 15 district, that means that you've got, you start out, it's such a heavily gerrymandered district. You start out with 15 point advantage over the other guys. And so they say, well, even if you're in plus 15, you're inside the margin of error.
Starting point is 01:38:08 If you're in a plus 10 district, you are underwater for sure. That's amazing. And he said, I slept on whether or not to share this publicly because I don't want to cause anybody to black pill. But this morning, ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there's still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of our country. What's he going to do in six weeks? You think Trump's going to change anything? he doesn't regret a bit of what he's done. He doesn't regret what he did to the farmers.
Starting point is 01:38:34 He doesn't regret what he did to the cattlemen. He doesn't regret what he did to the consumers. He doesn't regret what he did to Iran at all. He would do it all again. And he's not about to change anything. Trump is now 71 points underwater with independent voters. An 86 point swing. He won them by 15 points in 2024.
Starting point is 01:38:57 Now he is underwater, 71. points. If the environment in this had been my home state where Trump has, he says, if the environment is this bad in my home state, said Dees, where Trump has been the most popular political figure of the last decade, I can't imagine where it is everywhere else. He said, Iran and Hormuz has become a 2020 COVID lockdown level of political albatross. And I don't really care what the political fallout is for Trump. and the GOP, they deserve it. The bottom line is just like the COVID lockdown. This is a horrific policy. Trump should have never been given a second chance by anyone, not even a second look after what he did with COVID lockdown. And yet he did.
Starting point is 01:39:47 And so here we are. Can't learn. We're going to, can't learn from experience. We're going to keep repeating it over and over again. There have been some positive aspects, but things that were completely unintentional. For example, you know, what happened with schooling?
Starting point is 01:40:04 And I've said this for the longest time. I would talk to people about what is happening in the government schools. And the typical response was, well, it's not happening in our school system, right? It may be happening in another state like that, but it's not that way where we are. And even if it is that way where we are, it's not in my child's classroom. And then they found out that it was in their child's classroom. You're getting these windows into institutions that previously were trusted and saw how just how messed up they were. And I think all of a sudden, you were on Zoom and you were looking at what your kids were doing in school and you were like, what?
Starting point is 01:40:41 You know, you're learning how to read how? You're doing math. What? Like, and I think it was really, I think a lot of parents were sending their kids to school with the belief that they were learning things. And they saw in real time just how wrong they were. And. Of course, they are learning things, many things that you don't want them to learn. And, you know, they just had a situation.
Starting point is 01:41:06 You don't want to talk about competency tests, right? They did that in some of the New York schools for the students. It didn't look too good. Now they're doing literacy tests for the teachers, and they're finding that 61% of the teachers are illiterate. You want to talk about idiocracy. This is multi-generational, isn't it? And yet, if you don't send your kid to school,
Starting point is 01:41:28 we've got some of these Democrat governors who think that they need to come around and do an evaluation, even right after you've had your child. This is a Massachusetts governor of that nanny state. Everybody in the state, when you have a baby, you're going to have a home visit. You're going to have a home visit within days, weeks, and that will be an opportunity for a health care provider to make an assessment. That's right. Well, come by and make sure you've had all your vaccines. You have enough aluminum?
Starting point is 01:41:59 Let's try to add some more of that stuff. No, no thanks. By the way, when we talk about this COVID lockdown, one of the worst people anywhere was Jab Senda Arden. I think her name was Asenda Arden in New Zealand. And she got a real glee out of locking everybody down and telling everybody, I'm going to destroy your life if you don't take this jab. You know what she's doing right now? She just bought a house for $6.5 million. in Australia.
Starting point is 01:42:30 I guess crime pays, doesn't it, when you are criminal for the pharmaceutical companies? And they all knew that it was bad. As a matter of fact, I've played for you the clips of the people who were caught faking it. And in New Zealand, you had a lot of health officials who were faking their vaccine credentials that were there. Even the World Economic Forum, according to this person, was making sure they got pilots who had not been vaccinated, they didn't have anybody
Starting point is 01:42:59 that was going to suddenly die as they're piloting their plane. The US Freedom Flyers, Josh Yoda, he's the head president as the US Freedom Flyers. He said they're getting calls now from wealthy business
Starting point is 01:43:13 to fly their executives around on business jets with unvaccinated crew. Now, they get the luxury of being able to choose because there are still a large amount of crew available in the United States who are not vaccinated because the companies they work for didn't
Starting point is 01:43:30 mandate it. These wealthy businessmen are requiring unvaccinated crew on their business. Now, passengers are an airline on an airline for a ticket don't have that luxury. It's just like, okay. And of course, you know, we go back and we look at when this was all happening. Remember Teresa Long and she worked as a physician with the Air Force? and she and some other physicians were concerned because of some of the episodes that were happening with some of these pilots. And she said it's a very unsafe situation.
Starting point is 01:44:04 They went back and they looked at the Defense Department's database. They call it D-Meds. And they would track very closely because they were concerned about nuclear, not just nuclear, but biological and chemical attacks on their soldiers. So they would track their health as a part of their defense readiness system. And they went back and they found this tremendous increase. many multiples of time increased maybe three, four, five, six times the number of particular cancer on and on, all these different types of cancers. And moving very rapidly, as well as the sudden death and the heart issues, they blew the whistle on that.
Starting point is 01:44:41 And the response from the military was to go back and change the previous five years. And so there's been this cover-up for the longest time. Now, we have one of the things that came out of this, and I've read, refer to it this way. It's like, well, they went after ivermectin and it actually kind of backfired on them because people started using this and then people started seeing that, hey, look, this is effective against various types of cancers, all these different antiparasitics. It's not that cancer is a parasite, but that the cancer and the parasites will have the same type of mechanism by which they survive. And so they're very effective against that. Well, Michael Yeaden,
Starting point is 01:45:24 who was one of the very first people to come out. And again, he is somebody who was a top scientist who was at a vice president level, I think. But his specialty was respiratory issues. And he blew the whistle on this stuff about as early as anybody. I've been talking about Michael Yeadden for a very long time. He's got some concerns now about Ivermectin. And since I've talked positively about it for a long time, I wanted to air this and give you what he has to say about it. And he's very concerned about sterilization issues. The pandemic arrived. They came up with early treatment for COVID-19, didn't they? And they pushed and pushed and pushed. I, first I thought there was a virus and so it was great that they
Starting point is 01:46:11 were coming out with treatments. Then later when I realized there wasn't. So I thought they were, I thought, why are they pushing this stuff? I thought they're pushing harmless prescivos on the worried well. And they're providing a belief structure that really is the pandemic. I thought it's why would these clever people be going out of their way to sell you this stuff? And it's like, unfortunately, it's much worse than that. One of the center-stage drugs that they want you to take, Ivermectin, is one of the most violent fertility toxins I've ever come across.
Starting point is 01:46:46 And I didn't know this because like you, you probably didn't think to do the deep research. and I didn't. So someone contacted me a few weeks ago with a bloody great dossier of papers that go back from its discovery and there's unquestionably around the doses you're being required, you're being suggested to take
Starting point is 01:47:06 in rats and rabbits and in some limited studies in humans it reduces the ability to conceive and to grow babies to term and doesn't it fit? that doesn't it fit why did this this is nothing
Starting point is 01:47:25 that's major on the world stage that's accidental I'm afraid yes that's the problem and so now you know there's nothing major
Starting point is 01:47:34 on the world stage that's accidental who put IvermX in there well the people the perpetrators did and why did they put it there it's like if you don't get jabbed and avoid impacts on your facility
Starting point is 01:47:46 a good chunk of you will take Ivermex instead Yeah, that's troubling, isn't it? And, of course, if you're looking at it for some, don't take it casually or is a placebo without doing your research. I trust him on that. But if you've got cancer, and we've had some really miraculous testimonials about this stuff, and you look at this and a lot of people say, oh, that's just anecdotal, we haven't done a study.
Starting point is 01:48:12 Well, they don't want to do a study. But there are several studies that are going on right now. I don't trust the studies that are being done. and I'll play for you why here in just a moment. But I don't trust any of these research organizations. As a matter of fact, usually when they've got a study that is being conducted, look at who is funding that study and their interest in it and see who benefits from a particular type of conclusion.
Starting point is 01:48:36 However, if people have found that ivermectin and fembenazol and menbindazol are effective in terms of treating cancer, you may not be concerned about whether or not it's going to impact your ability to have children, even if you're younger. But if you're past childbearing age, of course, it's not a concern. This is a clip I want to play for you. It's a little bit long. It's from Dr. Eric Berg, who's a chiropractor, and he talks about a lot of natural health. One of the things he's talking about here is vitamin D.
Starting point is 01:49:05 But it's not really about vitamin D. It's really about a place called the Institute of Medicine and their role in terms of covering things up. You know, we've talked many times about what the FDA. does in terms of covering for pharmaceutical companies. But the Institute of Medicine is perhaps even worse than they've got a very long history of doing this. We're looking at individuals. They're looking at study averages, making certain assumptions that everyone responds the same with vitamin D. That's like averaging test scores from like 30 classrooms and assuming that every student passed. But in reality, half the class is still failing. This so-called gross air has led to a massive
Starting point is 01:49:46 problem with many people being deficient in vitamin D, not even connecting their health problem and their low vitamin D levels. So what happened in 2014 as two researchers reanalyze the same data that the Institute of Medicine used to set these RDAs. And like I said before, they found that instead of the 600 IUs per day, the real number was actually 8,895 IUs. And this recalculation, it was confirmed by other independent research, yet, to this day, completely ignored. I want to interject some very disturbing but important information into this video right now related to the Institute of Medicine because I recently read this book, Forbidden Facts by Gavin Becker. And I want to just summarize a couple very important things related to this Institute of Medicine organization. The organization
Starting point is 01:50:40 that we look at as being the scientific authority that's supposed to protect us. But we know this private group is one of the governmental hires when it needs to prove that a medical product is safe. But here's the shocking part that Gavin talks about in his book. The Institute of Medicine job is not really to discover the truth, is to protect this system. Before the vaccine autism investigation, before it began, the committee said we will not conclude vaccines cause autism. So the outcome was predetermined. One of the best examples how the Institute of Medicine works is Agent Orange. The government knew this was toxic in 1969.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Well, number one, they hid the data and then they hired the Institute of Medicine. And for decades, the Institute of Medicine repeatedly issued the same conclusion. More studies are needed. How many times you hear that with so many different things? Meanwhile, soldiers are dying, families are suffering, and the truth is buried. Decades later, an admiral who ordered the spraying, whose own son died from him. testified that the government industry manipulated or withheld evidence, and the Institute of Medicine played a key role. Let's take baby powder and asbestos. Forty-four years they were studying it.
Starting point is 01:51:54 Johnson and Johnson admitted to the FDA that their baby powder contained asbestos. But how long did the system take to figure this out? Forty-four years. So this is the Institute of Medicine's method. Delay long enough for the problem to fade victims to age. and the liability to disappear. Now let's take silicone breast implants. Billions paid out. And the Institute of Medicine said, Perfectly safe.
Starting point is 01:52:21 Overnight, all those remaining lawsuits evaporated. The power of the Institute of Medicine stamp is to protect industry, not people. And when we look at what the Institute of Health is doing for vitamin D, it's the exact same playbook. And if you watch it in my videos, you understand that vitamin D is not just for your bones, It's for the immune regulation.
Starting point is 01:52:43 It's for the muscles. It's for your brain. It's for your mood. And with low vitamin D, you can be in a state of depression. It's for your cognitive function, your ability to remember and focus and concentrate. It has a lot of influence over your metabolic control, your blood sugar, your ability to lose weight. Even your wrist of cancer goes way up when you're low in vitamin D. And to this date, doctors still are going off these guidelines that are based on the
Starting point is 01:53:10 this so-called air from years ago, using this very tiny number, 600 IUs for millions of people. I mean, what's even really fascinating about this whole story is after this mistake, if it was truly a mistake, they would correct it, right? But not only have they not corrected the mistake, they double down and they're actually really insisting that, no, we're going to keep it like this. Exactly right. And that's where we are right now. after the so-called mistakes of COVID, have they changed anything?
Starting point is 01:53:45 No, they've actually doubled down. And they've got a whole new range of products that they've designed for MRA. As a matter of fact, the very first day that Trump was president, the day after his inauguration, he starts out by saying we're going to have artificial intelligence design new MRANA vaccines specifically for you. And so here we are. We still have the MRNA stuff, and he is adding artificial intelligence. And he said at the very beginning is, and of course, we've got a grid that's really kind of old and unreliable. It's going to really be unreliable once we build these data centers on it.
Starting point is 01:54:18 So I'm telling all the businesses, you need to make your own power stations that are there. That's the way we solve all this. He's not going to fix it for you and I. It's only going to be for people who are part of his club, and I don't mean Mar-Lago. And so Steve Dease's takeaway on all this stuff, as I was saying before, he got this intel from the Iowa Republicans saying, hey, if your district is a plus 15 leaning that strongly towards Republicans, you're still in a toss-up. If it's plus 10, you're underwater. And you're likely to lose where you are. So his solution, he says, we need to get the president out on the stump
Starting point is 01:54:55 as soon as possible. No, you need to get the president out as soon as possible. The best thing that could ever happen to the GOP would be for the Democrats to neuter him or to get him out of office somehow because they're just too afraid to go against him. And even many of these podcasters are still too afraid to go against him. And so the people who remain and there's article after article about all the podcasters and Republican politicians who are running as hard as they can away from Trump, the ones who remain are urging Trump, to declare martial law for the midterm elections. Yeah, it only gets worse, doesn't it? This is a guy who is kind of taking the lead in this, according to the Atlantic, attorney Peter Tickton.
Starting point is 01:55:45 He's got a couple of ties to Trump, the two guys, go all the way back to military school as teenagers together. In 2022, Tickton helped Trump sue Hillary Clinton. This year, he pushed Trump to secure a pardon for Tina Peters, who is also pushing for a martial law approach to the election. As Tickton sees it, he said, oh, I think there's three possibilities. Number one, maybe everything will just go smooth.
Starting point is 01:56:11 He says, I don't see that as being a possibility. And he said, the second one is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. And the last option that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November the 3rd. He said, either martial law or step aside, he said. Well, how about step aside? Now would be the time to do that. He said when we asked about the prospect of riots, Tickton said he wasn't concerned. He said, believe me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are.
Starting point is 01:56:45 Is this the plan? Is this what this guy's been pushing us for? Right? Why he has worked so hard to divide America against itself. In August, of course, another one of these cheerleaders. who was always Wayne Allen Root, who was telling Trump a long time before the other woman came up with a phrase, he said, rename ICE, that's what you need to do.
Starting point is 01:57:08 You don't need to change the way they operate. You just need to give them a different name. Call them nice instead of ice. Yeah, that'll fix it right, even though they beat people up, shoot people in the back, just leave them to die. So Wayne Allen Root pushed Trump to declare a national security emergency. Well, of course, why wouldn't he do something like that? that is his MO.
Starting point is 01:57:31 That is how he governs. Everything is by declaring an emergency and then acting like a dictator. Wayne Allen Root says, because of my opinion, the election is going to be stolen, and there's no way to keep it from being stolen without declaring a national emergency. Yeah, if we don't steal the election,
Starting point is 01:57:47 somebody else will. If we don't attack this other country first, they'll attack us. So, yeah, that's the logic that starts wars. That's the logic that starts coupes. in our country. That is where these people are right now. By the way, it's not just data centers that are out there that people are concerned about. Though we have local governments being bribed to deceive us with. It's also the battery energy storage sites, BES, BES. And I've talked
Starting point is 01:58:20 about this here in Tennessee. We have the TVA is looking into putting in battery energy storage sites. These are some things. You remember back a few years ago, you had a Elon Musk offered to set up a massive battery energy storage site in Australia. He said, I'll get it done. And he gave a very short time frame. I'll get it done in that time frame. Or you don't have to pay for it. Oh, he got it done in the time frame.
Starting point is 01:58:46 But then they had a fire there. Fortunately for them, these big battery energy storage sites said this was out in the middle of the desert. And so it didn't really make that much difference. But now they're putting these things in where there's a lot of homes and trees and other things like that that catch fire. And they're incredibly expensive. A lot of people don't want them. They've already had some environmental disasters even in addition to the fire issues.
Starting point is 01:59:16 And of all places, California, a place that is plagued by a lot of fires. Potential fire hazard, air pollution, drinking water contamination. and of course the local authorities are playing games, doing it secretly, lying about it going in, and disregarding any concern whatsoever about safety. We're seeing this in one area after the other, the railroading us, this corrupt collusion between major corporations and government of both parties. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. The Common Man.
Starting point is 02:00:05 They created Common Core, a dumbdown. our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at the Davidnightshow.com.
