Starting point is 00:00:26 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 8th of October, Year of Our Lord, 2006. And we are at the point that Orwell warned us about, and with a clock striking 13, when we look at the massive attacks on free speech,
Starting point is 00:00:58 happening here as well as in Europe. And then we look at the AI bubble. We see it in a new light as data is coming out about the planned IPOs from Anthropic and others. Everybody should be concerned about this bubble bursting. It could be a nuclear blast. And speaking of the danger of that, it turns out that data centers now been identified as, of course, we knew this for a while, as a military target, even more so as they accelerate into drone warfare. And we now have something new.
Starting point is 00:01:33 We have fire-breathing dragon drones already deployed. Imagine where this is going to be headed. We have Tony Arribun is going to be joining us today, and we'll take a look at this not only economic bubble, but this political bubble. I think this election is going to be a test not of just Republican versus Democrat, but I think it'll be a test as to the honesty of the elections and whether they can be hacked with AIA. We'll be right, pack. Well, I want to begin today with something I didn't talk about yesterday. Of course, it was the third anniversary of the infamous October 7th attack.
Starting point is 00:02:15 And there were a lot of articles, especially in the conservative GOP Zionist-owned press and other commenters that are out there in terms of spinning this and trying to convince people that a genocide has not happened, even though we could see it happening. And when you look at this from the very beginning, I said, well, I don't really buy the fact that they didn't do anything for many, many hours and let this thing run out, and it caught them totally by surprise. And we now have seen that that was not the case. And then we saw this go on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You can have a couple of attacks that injure civilians, but it was clear early on this was a policy of targeting civilians, targeting children, targeting them by snipers and assassins. This was a planned genocide. And yet you have people like Victor Davis Hansen who writes the truth about the October 7th massacre
Starting point is 00:03:20 three years later and everything the guy says is a lie. And I mean it everything this guy says. He is the sorriest excuse for a so-called historian I've ever seen. This guy gets everything wrong about history because he can't even interpret the current events that he lives in, honestly. So the third anniversary, he says,
Starting point is 00:03:42 the October 7th slaughter, and it was a slaughter. The question is, who did it? Who done it? And so he sells a lot of the standard stuff. He begins by saying, without warning. Now, this is a guy who evidently has missed all of the Israeli press
Starting point is 00:04:01 exposing how Netanyahu was warned over and over again by several different governments and we're supposed to believe that Mossad, this probably the most successful of all the spy organizations, had no clue whatsoever that was going on.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Egypt knew, the UAE knew, I think it was the UAE that was the other one. I know it was Egypt and it was another Arab state warned him about this. And then he goes, without warning and they said, they stormed over the fence. I can't even call it a wall. It looks to me more like a fence.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Well, Charlie Kirk was there. One of the things that got him in trouble with Israelis was he said, he didn't believe it either. He said, that place is a fortress. He calls it a fortress. I don't know if Victor Davis-Hanson has been there to see it. If he has, he's lying to you. Anyway, he said, so what are the facts?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Why did they do this? And this is one of the most amazing things to me out of this. He claims that the Israelis out of the kindness of their heart had given between $45 and $50 billion an aid to Gaza. Now, let's sanity check that. You know, we look at this 10-year memorandum of understanding from the United States to Israel. We agreed that we're going to give them $3.8 billion a year for a decade, starting back in 2019. So let's look at that as kind of a baseline figure.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's hard to get, I tried to find the information. I don't know where Victor Davis Hansen got his information from. Maybe he got it from the PR firm that handles Netanyahu. But it just doesn't sanity check. If you look at this and say, and probably they were getting at least that much, maybe more, but in the 10 years prior to that. And he goes back and he says,
Starting point is 00:05:50 his figure of $45 to $50 billion, he said, was from 2006 to the current day. And so we're supposed to believe, you know, if you look at this, $38 billion that we're giving to Israel and then maybe, you know, just double it. Let's go take it up to $80. Okay. $80 billion. And we're supposed to believe that as much, we give that much money to Israel and they turn around and gave more than half of it to Gaza as aid. How stupid do you think we are to lie like that, Victor Davis Hanson?
Starting point is 00:06:22 Unbelievable. Truly is unbelievable. Maybe he's counting the value of the bombs that were dropped because most of that aid that we gave to Israel was military. So there you go. We dropped this very expensive bomb on you. We'll call it aid. So he said that $50 billion, that could have turned this place into a Mediterranean real estate site.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Build luxury hotels, bring in European and Gulf advisors, create a cutter or an Oman or a Dubai right there in Gaza. And of course, that is the plan. But you know, you have to do urban renewal first, right? You've got to first eradicate everything. And now we see three years later after Google has updated its maps, this is what we see, right? This is what it looks like today. That's what it looked like three years ago.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That's what it looks like today. Yeah, all that money buys a lot of bombs, doesn't it? Yeah. And that is their policy. That right there, folks, tells you it's genocide. a situation where everything is destroyed. It is absolute total systematic destruction to drive the population out. That's genocide by definition.
Starting point is 00:07:39 So it said, and whose weapons were these guys of people? Oh, of course, these weapons we know. We're coming from Iran and China. This guy is a hopeless, pathetic warmonger. We have to, again, he repeats this claim over and over again. Oh, yeah, it's all coming from Iran and China, so let's attack them. Let's go to war with everybody, says Victor Davis-Hanson. He says, add all of it up.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And on this commemorative week of October 7th, sane and sober people, to them it would make no sense. But sane and sober people, unfortunately, in the West today are a minority. Well, that I would agree with, because most of them have been bought by Israel, or they're listening to people who have been bought by Israel, like Victor Davis-Hanson. debunking the myth of October the 7th is an article from Freethought Project and they go through the standard stuff and when you look at they knew what people were going to be saying on October the 7th anniversary and he just checks all the boxes VDH does on October the 7th will be bombarded with propaganda asserting that Israelis righteousness amid three years of ongoing genocide in Gaza
Starting point is 00:08:49 to portray them as the victims. And so they point out myth number one that it was a surprise attack. I already talked about that. And again, Victor Davis-Hanson checked all of these boxes in the most absurd way. An investigation from the Israeli news outlet, Haretz, confirmed that Netanyahu had foreknowledge of the impending attacks, deliberately doing nothing to prevent them. Don't tell Victor Davis-Hanson, the historian.
Starting point is 00:09:19 He doesn't have a clue. And I mean, there was a lot of this stuff, and it was all exposed in Israel. The casualties of October the 7th were entirely inflicted by Hamas. That's the other one, right? These monsters and Victor Davis-Hanson talks about, oh, they beheaded babies and all the rest of stuff. And they say, well, these stories about beheading babies during the attack, Free Thought Project says this is a classic example of atrocity propaganda. And, you know, the same type of stuff we were told about the Iraqis coming in and taking the premature babies out of the special equipment there, you know, ventilators or whatever they had them on.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And leaving them to die, we found out that was absolutely false. This is typical atrocity propaganda. But going back to the casualties, the other thing that we know has been well documented, even admitted, I've played the clips here multiple times on this show. that you have officials who said, yeah, you know, we killed a bunch of Israelis there. We had a couple of terrorists there, and we took out this house of 13 people. They don't even deny it. The official stated purpose of the Hannibal Directive is to prevent the capture of Israelis under the idea that it's better to kill them than to allow them to be captured. However, it also is used by Israel as a means of killing its own citizens.
Starting point is 00:10:44 and then falsely attributing that to different groups as the ones who murdered them, which is what they did here. It's what Victor Davis-Sanson is doing. And so they've admitted that they did it. And they didn't even say that it was collateral damage, that it was a mistake. No, no, no. We deliberately killed all the people in this house because there were some bad guys. And they will kill an entire town.
Starting point is 00:11:06 That's one of the things that came out with a documentary Naza, which is the Hebrew for collateral damage that they're talking about. talking about their IDF term for that. Another myth that Hamas is a terrorist organization started by Palestinians who hate Israel for the express purpose of committing violence against Israelis. Actually, Hamas is a creation of Israeli intelligence
Starting point is 00:11:28 in the same way that al-Qaeda and ISIS and Al-Nusra and the Syrian government and on and on are creations of the CIA. Armed and funded, you know, we do that so that we can have a, an organization that they can start wars and coups with. And that's really what the U.S. and Israel are about. Netanyahu himself personally oversaw the transfer funds to Hamas
Starting point is 00:11:57 to ensure that they remained in power, including a recent investigation in Israel that found a request was made by the Israeli government recently to increase funds of Hamas just a week before the October 7th attack. And that's why they're, do it because they want to have these people in there to create. It's a way of doing a false flag attack, right? So another myth that Jews and Muslims have historically never been able to coexist
Starting point is 00:12:27 peacefully, particularly in Palestine, well, that is something that really is a byproduct of the Zionist coming in. And I've played clips for you over and over again. Orthodox Jews in the area say, hey, we got along fine with everybody there. this Zionist government. As a matter of fact, I had the interview a couple of weeks ago, a guy who is there, he's Jewish, he immigrated from the UK. And he's talking about how they were able, even as all this stuff was flaring up, and they were close to that area. And it was the area during the Intifada that was the most violent area. But they were able to find a way to live together,
Starting point is 00:13:08 Muslims and Jews. It's the government that is the issue. It's the Zionist government. government that is the issue. And so then another myth, the Israeli people have the right to occupy Palestine because it is their historic homeland. And again, this is something that especially, and they points this out, because it's not a lot of, not all Jews are Zionists. And not all Zionists are Jews. And some of the worst Zionists are people like Pete Hedekset, Mike Huckabee, and a lot of these Christian Zionists, who, by the way, this idea that the Israelis should be there, that is not biblical, and that is not historical Christian theology. And that's the thing that really bothers me, because I see so many people now rejecting Christ
Starting point is 00:13:59 because you've got these Christian leaders and the people that they do a snow job on who are embracing this abomination that is happening there. people can see that but you've got a lot of people who've been so blinded by the rewriting of Christian historical understanding of rewriting of the Bible with the Schofield Bible funded by the Rothschilds you got that that propaganda app has been so successful with conservative Christians people say they believe the Bible but they believe the commentaries in the Bible the Schofield commentaries. They're not reading the text. You want to know what the Old Testament's about us,
Starting point is 00:14:44 about Christ. That's what he said. It's not my opinion. That's what Christ said. And he opposed this type of thing, adamantly opposed it. Blessed are the peacemakers, not the war mongers. So the idea is that they've got some kind of righteous cause to this. And it is, I think, perhaps their most successful bit of propaganda. Numerous Jewish organizations outright reject the existence of Zionism. Several Orthodox Jewish groups go so far as to condemn the existence of Israel as a violation of the Torah. And because, you know, we have these commands, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal. The whole thing is based on murder and theft.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Just look at the Israeli settlers. And that's the next issue here. The idea that the settlers are just teenagers, right? That's what Benjamin Netanyahu has told us. It's just some juvenile delinquents. And it's bad. You know, any murder is bad, but these are just juvenile delinquents. No, it's not the case.
Starting point is 00:15:50 They have passively had the IDFs passively stood by while people are murdered and journalists are killed. Journalists are beaten. The biggest myth of all is that it is not a genocide, says the Freethought Project article. And that's right. And, you know, it's interesting because. You look at their response. And as I've said before, when somebody feels compelled to censor you and to punish you for your speech, it's because what they're saying is not true.
Starting point is 00:16:24 The truth doesn't have to be defended. The truth doesn't need people to be punished who oppose it. The truth needs to be let out like a lion. And there was a lot of truth and these people who had a conscience about it. And they did a documentary, Israeli documentary. And you had a lot of IDF officers saying, I was wondering when somebody was going to ask us about, this is horrible.
Starting point is 00:16:47 It's weighing on their conscience was being done. And so they talked about the deliberate targeting of civilians. The term is Naza. It is so damaging that Netanyahu has said he's going to take the citizenship of the people who did it. And he's going to up the economic punishment against them as well. But there's something else that they've just done. They just did this. at this. They have created a fake film with a similar title. So they have Naza the real story.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And this person, Patricia Rolls, I think is the name here, said, this is a link to watch the documentary called Naza. And the person who retweeted this says, I don't think she actually knows that this is the fake Israeli rebuttal to Naza, that they, that they, have put out there. It's all propaganda. The guy who retweeted this Ryan Shrine said, Israel is so terrified of people seeing the film that just a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their war crimes that they released their own trash, called it by the exact same name to get people to buy their propaganda. Definitely sounds like something innocent people would do, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:18:01 I should clarify, genuinely think this user didn't realize that they're sharing a link to Israel's propaganda piece. And he says that. Because when she puts it there, she says it's an award-winning, stunning, ovation, the Venice Film Festival, and you need to see exactly what is going on in Israel, except that it is the Israeli spin. It is not the actual documentary. We'll have to see if the actual documentary can get any screens because the Hollywood industry is so heavily controlled by the Jewish lobby. approximately 2 million Gazans have been displaced, 175,000 people have been injured, more than 75,000 have been killed,
Starting point is 00:18:44 including over 21,000 children. Those numbers equal one thing. Genocide. Alleged ceasefire of a year ago, October 2025, even with that alleged ceasefire, Israeli forces have routinely consistently violated it on a daily basis. 94% of Gaza's hospitals and medical facilities have been targeted and destroyed.
Starting point is 00:19:09 In addition to the targeted destruction of health care, they've also targeted food and water. And again, this is what it looks like. So don't tell me that that's not a genocide. And then you have the high-tech involvement in all this. Peter Thiel was questioned about Palantir's involvement in targeting people, targeting infrastructure, and they've got a couple of different programs about that. The first one is lavender. Lavender targets individuals.
Starting point is 00:19:42 They have another one that they cynically call gospel. Gospel. That's how much Israeli government hates Christ and Christians. And unfortunately, because of what you see happening here, interesting, gospel is the targeting of infrastructure and buildings, right? And so they are spreading the gospel and leveling everything there. And that's the way so many people see this whole war, this whole genocide. They see it as a Christian thing. And they can't see the real gospel because of the phony gospel of these dispensationalists
Starting point is 00:20:21 and Christian Zionists who are cheering this abomination that's being done by Israel. But Peter Thiel was asked about this in a forum. They asked him about this program, Lavender, that targets. What do you think about the use of artificial intelligence or lavender by the IDF in identifying Hamas targets? Look, I'm not, I'm not, you know, you know, without without going into all the deep, you know, I'm not I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not without without going into all the deep, you know, I'm not on top of all the details of what's going on in Israel as my my my bias is to defer to Israel. It's it's not for, Whatever they want to do, it's fine. To second guess everything. And I believe that broadly the IDF gets to decide what it wants to do
Starting point is 00:21:12 and that they're broadly in the right. And that's sort of the perspective I come back to. Yeah. Uh, uh, uh, uh, let's see. How do I spend this? Do a very good job of spending it. This is one of the reasons why when you're trying to defend the indefensible, the only result that you have, the only thing that you can resort to is,
Starting point is 00:21:32 censorship. And of course, what Lavender does is it assigns a probability score to individuals. They don't know for certain who these people are. This has been the long-running thing at geospatial intelligence going back to 1990s fast as growing part of American intelligence. It's where Palantir was funded to do this type of thing. And from the very beginning, it was about identifying people's religion and politics. From the very beginning, you think it's going to be used against us? You know, when you look at what the Israeli government is doing and they have destroyed an unbelievable number of churches, as one person put this, I don't know if this is a real picture or not. I seriously doubt that you'd be able to freeze that missile coming in,
Starting point is 00:22:16 but that is a church that was destroyed by an Israeli missile. I don't know whether that picture is correct or not, but that is in Lebanon, entire. And you've had Christians there for 2,000 years. And the Israelis are not just targeting Gaza. They're not just targeting Palestinians. They're targeting Lebanon. They're targeting Christians. They're targeting everybody in the area. You want to talk about the Middle East that is destabilized?
Starting point is 00:22:46 That's the reason, folks. And it's one of the reasons why the petrodollar is now on shaky ground. We were there to make sure that there was going to be stability in the Middle East, as far as oil was concerned. But all of the instability has been really because of Israel and because of its wars. The very first OPEC oil embargo was because we sided with Israel and gave them weapons. And then the Arabs organized an embargo against us. Now we've got this Iran war where it's not just an embargo.
Starting point is 00:23:16 This is destruction of infrastructure. It's not going to be taken off overnight. Even if you would have suddenly a ceasefire or a victory or something like that, you would not have the restoration of the oil overnight because there has been infrastructure damage. And they're damaging the infrastructure of Christianity with these church buildings. But more than that, they are damaging the gospel of Christ. And they do it with a program that targets infrastructure that they call the gospel. So all this is happening because we've got a lot of Christians who are under a strong delusion from the Schofield.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Bible and the Left Behind series. And that's where their theology is coming from. But there's a lot of people who see through this. And unfortunately, when they look through all of this and they see the obvious criminality of it, they attribute it to Christians. And it sours them on the real gospel. That is the environment young people on the right have just gone through. So they are going to react extremely poorly to any silencing or censoring of ideas. or people that may in fact be terrible. That's the point of the First Amendment, though, for us. We have to confront them in the marketplace of ideas,
Starting point is 00:24:36 ignore them if they're insignificant, laugh at them if they're just funny, or debunk their conspiracy theories. And I say that as an avid enjoyer of various other conspiracy theories in general, but not these ones. Unfortunately, the response to the falling support for Israel among this group has
Starting point is 00:24:56 been to turn up the list keeping and aggressively calling out anyone critical of current geopolitics or the Israeli government and anti-Semite. Again, I am not speaking of myself. I have a photo in my office I received on the last day of the first Trump administration where they gave away all the wall hangings of BB and Trump shaking hands. That's in my office. I'm just the messenger here. This isn't about me.
Starting point is 00:25:21 If we continue to jump and in a fit of hysteria, call as many people as possible, Semitic. The word loses all meaning when overused. We are now at risk of becoming BLM to the younger American right. They are correctly sick of being called racists and mentally this connects to them in the same wiring, even if it shouldn't. That's what's happening. That is exactly what's happening. I've been called a Nazi for working for Trump so many times that it doesn't even raise my cortisol all anymore. And we can thank the left for that. Yeah. Well, she's speaking truth to these people. Will they understand what she's saying? You know, you have
Starting point is 00:26:01 over-you're calling every, you're doing the same tactic the left does. When you try to engage the left, they just yell and scream at you, racist, racist, racist, which is exactly what the Israelis are doing now. And we have seen one meeting after the other where you see them demanding not only greater censorship, but greater punishment. And I'm talking about people like Randy Fine. I'm talking about people like Ron DeSantis. I'm talking about people like Kevin Warsh's father-in-law of the S.D. Lauder Foundation. He's a president of the World Jewish Conference. We've seen this from every one of them. We've seen it from Mark Levin. We banned
Starting point is 00:26:36 Pat Buchanan. We canceled him and we can cancel you too. Why do we cancel Pap Buchanan? Well, he wanted to cancel all foreign aid. And we want to keep all foreign aid going because we want foreign aid going to Israel. So if you want to cancel all foreign aid, not just Israel's foreign aid, but all foreign aid, well, then you're anti-Semitic bigot, and we will cancel you. Unfortunately, the message is not getting through to the Zionist organizations and not even getting through to the Trump administration. Precedented measures. He signed an executive order and protected the students on college campuses, that anti-Semitism is something that cabinet officials can deal with. We've We've implemented a rigorous visa vetting process.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Over 250,000 visas have been revoked. We have worked with countries to educate in their curriculum to not hate. Yeah, but you are hating. International bodies. And we have reinvigorated hate crime prosecutions. Yeah. And so we know where you're coming from. As a matter of fact, we know it was leftist Jews who started all this,
Starting point is 00:27:52 DEI-CRT stuff. So he is bragging about the fact 250,000 international students who criticized Israel have now had their visas revote. And he said, this is great because this is what Trump is doing. That's the only way we're able to stop people from entering into our
Starting point is 00:28:08 country is that they say mean things about Israel. Well, you can criticize the U.S. You can criticize Trump, but you cannot criticize Israel. You could probably burn an American flag as part of your entrance ceremony, and they'd still hand you your your green card. They say, welcome to the country, buddy. But don't burn an Israeli flag, or you're going to get punished for that, especially in Florida with Randy Fine and Ron DeSantis and that pedophile
Starting point is 00:28:32 Caruso. And then you look at what did Trump say when he came in? This is his inauguration speech. Years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression. I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Yeah, right. But you can't speak freely about Israel. Don't criticize them when they kill civilians and target babies. Never again will the immense power of the state
Starting point is 00:29:18 be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Something I know something about. Yeah, and he's ramped it up. He is going after his own political opponents doing the same thing he criticized other people for doing. I said this at the very beginning. I said what they did to Trump was unfair. But rather than reform it, I said, I think you will go after his political enemies to show his political power.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And he will be establishing a precedent that will be used by the Democrats yet again and the Republicans yet again. We are descending into a third world banana republic because of this vengeance game. We're going to take a quick break. And Tony is going to be joining us, Tony Ardibon, of Wise Wolf. And we're going to talk a little bit about economics. And what is happening as we see this massive. AI bubble that is about to burst. And as I said earlier, it's going to be like a nuclear bomb to the economy.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Stay with us. We'll be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back and joining us now is Tony Arterbin of Wise Wolf Gold, and he has set up David Knight.orgold. I'll take you to him, let him know that you came through us. And as we look at the economic system that has been engineered now and the engineered destruction of the petro dollars,
Starting point is 00:31:13 I was saying before, based on creating stability throughout the Middle East. Now these people understand that they cannot depend on the United States for stability throughout the Middle East. As a matter of fact, they will join in with Israel to create instability. And so that's on very shaky ground. But we also have the AI bubble, which is also on very shaky ground. When you look at this, I'm seeing one article after the other. Of course, people have been talking about this bubble thing for quite a while, Tony. But I'm seeing one article after the other talking about how it's impending.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And now that we're starting to get some of the financials of some of these companies as they're putting together their IPO. It's kind of comical when you look at it. I mean, this stuff is way beyond anything that Enron never did already. And we've got multiple Enron's happening all at once. we've talked about this for years i mean the the modern wall street system is not built on profitability if you look at the balance sheets of these companies it's the health of the companies are based on their ability to get uh cheap venture capital more liquidity to borrow more it's based on
Starting point is 00:32:20 you know earnings that are estimated not actual earnings you know it's like 100 times earnings on some of these companies so or maybe the greater fool right you know and and it's It's really more Ponzi and insider trading than anything these days. And it's not based on value. And you know how I know that. And, you know, I'm an amateur when it comes to, like, you know, economics and what, what the markets actually yield. But I can, I look at history to be my guide. And if we go back, it's a fun metric because I always go back to this year, but 1980 is very important.
Starting point is 00:32:54 If you go back to 1980 as a metric where gold crossed over in like $850 an ounce and silver was $52. dollars an ounce. If you look at that, if you look at the share of wealth that those two metals had in the overall financial market of the earth. So like, you know, this was, you know, the height of the Cold War for the most part. You had the Soviet Empire versus the American Empire. There's a lot geopolitical stasis. But in that, the share of wealth by the metals markets was about like 120th. And if you look at it now with all these fiat derivatives and, you know, And again, stuff based, you know, sovereign wealth funds and currencies. It's like 1% maybe.
Starting point is 00:33:37 So we've fallen, you know, with actual value. Actual value has been placed way over here in the periphery. Whereas all this other stuff that is a bubble. And again, we're just, we're being a little bit, you know, I'm pulling back a little bit, just looking at the big picture. But this is in the macro setting, the real assets are not really truly valued like they were. 46 years ago. Not even close.
Starting point is 00:34:04 So we're in a really different world. A lot of this is overblown and the bubbles get bigger and bigger because of the Fiat system itself. And of course the AI bubble. It's all really kind of like an AI hallucination that is out there. You know, just believe these people and take whatever they say is true, just like you should leave whatever the chat program tells you. You know, don't ever sanity check any of this stuff. But now they're starting to get their sanity check.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And it truly is amazing when you look at how little money they have made, how much money they have spent. I mean, you've got Anthropic is not even covering their computing costs with what they sell. They're still operating at a loss on each individual thing. It's looking more and more like Ford's, what was it, the F-150 version that was electric, and they take the most popular vehicle out there, a truck, and then they turned it into an EV, and they start losing a phenomenal amount of money off of each. one of these trucks. So that's basically what's happening with Anthropic. Yeah, and that's pretty typical of the modern, you know, tech company and not to mention AI.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And what's interesting about the destructive power of AI and not just this bubble. And I think a lot of it can be useful. I mean, it's interesting if you, you know, look at the way that AI can help you like disseminate information and, you know, all the stuff that can help you keep up with in real time, especially stuff that I use for sourcing Intel, it's pretty valuable. And one thing it actually replaces is it replaces all the hop, the snobbish kind of hop-nobby guys, you know, like the white collar people. It doesn't replace the plumber.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It doesn't replace the electrician. You know, it doesn't place the auto worker that, you know, build something. It really can't. Even if you have robots, and it's funny, Pat Buchanan mentioned that when I'm watching him, you know, 15, 20 years ago. And somebody said, what about the robots that replace the workers? because well somebody's got to build the robots.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I mean, robots don't build robots or repair them. So you're going to have some, there's always going to be human hands in something. And I think that's the issue with all this tech stuff is that it's probably going to be very destructive for those who have built a career on the system being fake itself. I mean, there's, again, there's not much value floating around, but because we live in a currency system that's not backed by anything, a lot of that gets inflated. So it gives you the perception. of value instead of the actual value in these markets.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, when we look at, and when we look at value, we need to understand that the value of what is really happening with gold, I think, is not reflected in whatever today's current market price is. This thing is jumping around all over the place in terms of a lot of noise and a lot of disinformation that's there. You know, when we talk about the distortion of Wall Street, we competed with Blockbuster for about 20 years.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And after they were very profitable at the very beginning when it was run by Wayne Hizinga of Waste Industries. He made a lot of money off of trash collection. And then he put trash out for people to watch, which is what I did as well. That was what the video's business was about. But he got bought by the Paramount people, right? And So I'm in Redstone, his Viacom, which owned Paramount CBS and a lot of other big media companies. They bought Blockbuster. and they never made a profit.
Starting point is 00:37:30 But they were like the last of the video stores to go to shut down. But they operated for like 20, 25 years losing money every single year. And they were able to do that because of Wall Street. Wall Street will fund something that doesn't make any money and they'll fund it forever. I mean, you can just keep selling this happy story. Look at Moderna. They operated for 10 years without making a profit by using the standard. stock market. They would put out happy stories about some miracle drug that they had with
Starting point is 00:38:01 MRNA and then people look at it and say, no, that's not going to work. All right. Now we got another one. This one's going to cure cancer or whatever. They did that game for 10 years before they were given massive amounts of money by Trump. And so you can operate a company at a loss. You don't have a real profit. You can operate just as a Ponzi scheme on Wall Street. We've seen it with Moderna. We've seen it with Blockbuster. And so that's what we're looking at right now. Bank of America has been very bullish on their commodities analysts have been very bullish. They're now not quite as bullish. They're saying that risk that gold prices could fall below 4,000 in the fourth quarter. What do you think? It's possible. And the reason being
Starting point is 00:38:46 is because of this war of choice that was launched by Donald Trump here in February of this year. And perhaps this was simulated. I tend to lean towards that now that they have to build a cover for the great reset and the monetary reset that they need to do. And if you go back and look at statements that Scott Bessett made, you know, just two years ago or so that the world economic order needs to be reset. There's going to be a new Breton Woods. And now he's in that position, as he said earlier about the bond market, I'm the house now. So bet against the house if you want to.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Well, the market's betting against him and doing quite well, actually. I think all of this, you know, if you look at the Fed's decision to, raise rates, which, you know, in the face of everything that's unhealthy about the economy, especially in the United States, it's a pretty crazy decision. The reason we have inflation is because the price of crude went so high, and then the futures markets jumped. I was listening to a show yesterday. They talked about the actual price of diesel right now is akin to $200 a barrel oil. Yeah, yeah. It was kind of mentioned there was one metric. They were talking about a tanker of oil just sold on the market for 10 times the price of what it did a year ago, 10 times a price.
Starting point is 00:40:06 $79 million. You have those metrics built into our system. And, you know, the Fed and these financial wizards, you can raise rates, but that doesn't open a shipping lane. Okay. You can do all, you can try to tighten the monetary system. It's funny, I saw an article on KitCo. And one of the arguments was, well, the bond market's given a high yield.
Starting point is 00:40:28 high yields on bonds. And so it's, it's pushing, putting pressure on gold. And I thought, are you really dumb enough to do that? I mean, you know they pay you back at dollars, right? I mean, even if, I mean, if you look at gold and like I always go back to the infrastructure is being built, it's very important to watch because that's the new, like, you're watching the future with the stuff that's being built. So we're just in this really weird lull where, you know, silver is not priced correctly. Gold's not priced correctly. A Bank of America, could be correct. I do think that the $4,000 is probably the floor on gold given central bank gold demand. But again, you know, if you look at the rising cost of energy and all the pressure
Starting point is 00:41:09 that's putting on fiat currencies, their initial reaction will be to raise rates to tighten the monetary supply, but then the economies that they oversee are going to collapse. They're going to have to lower them really quick. So it's going to be this push-pull thing. They don't have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. I'm long to, obviously long term bullish on gold versus the dollar, but we are in this weird kind of upside down world right now. We're, you know, going back to January when silver was $120 an ounce. Well, I think part of it is people will get gold for a rainy day, right? And it's raining really hard. And so I think a lot of that, people are having to cover positions and so they got to go back and, you know, sell something that is made.
Starting point is 00:41:56 money for them. And so you had a lot of speculators who got into it when it was going up very rapidly. But the central banks, as you point out, they're still collecting this stuff because they understand what the reality is. And they see the long-term picture of this. When you're getting record high rates on your bonds and things like this, why is that happening? It's happening because people don't really want them. And they understand the risk in terms of inflation and other things on inflation and the currency issues that are there. And so that's why they're having to bribe people, bribing them to say you're going to pay them back with more of these,
Starting point is 00:42:34 this monopoly money that's out there. But it's all the more reason, I think, to look at something that is real and something that's going to be outside of this system that they're building because we talk about the system they're building, the system that Bessent and Lutnik are building, is a system of the mark of the beast where everything is by permission.
Starting point is 00:42:54 and control. They control all of it and can remove all of it at the push of a button. Yeah, and these overlords are not immune to reality either. If you go back to 2025 around August, you look at the study that was done by the Federal Reserve. They put out a white paper looking at what would happen if we revalued our gold on the balance sheet. This is just for the Fed to rebalance the gold on their balance sheet from the $42. announced that we stopped in 1971 to where it is today, you know, which, you know, back then I think we're probably around 4,500 or wherever it was around a year ago.
Starting point is 00:43:34 So, again, the system, and you look at Scott Bessent hiring Judy Shelton, who was the architect for the gold-backed bonds idea. Like, that's an insider that understands like we could actually issue gold-back bonds. We're not immune to that. The overseers, the so-called. elite they look at that too. The rest of the world is and I think the reason why is because the world abandoning the dollar system and rightly so as I've mentioned many times before and
Starting point is 00:44:05 there's and we've talked about this probably for a year and a half now but you know Hong Kong caught my attention as because of what the the infrastructure that they're building there which is around 2,000 tons of gold in the next couple years will be able to be stored there and I looked at an article up on Kitco and before the invasion of Ukraine, before we levied so much more sanctions and, you know, that blowback that happened because of what we did on to Russia after their invasion of Ukraine, if you look at the amount of, uh, uh, tonnage that was moved into, uh, Hong Kong through Russia, is around, uh, 30. It's around 30 tons. And now they got like a hundred and 16.
Starting point is 00:44:49 So, no, it's, oh, it's three to 116. Sorry. It's like three. So it's this massive uptick in gold that's flowing through because Russia can't send its gold to London anymore. You can't use those traditional routes. And now they're building in Asia, they're building this big hub where all these other countries can exchange gold and then do it in real time. And it can be stored there. And then obviously, you know, in a sanction friendly environment. So away from the dollar system, this is this is the stuff that I watch because I think that's where that's where we're headed. and the powers to be on our side, oh, I guess our side, that rule over us understand that too.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah, and when I look at this, to me, it's a perfect storm that's happening there. Not only do we have this irrational war that is happening that's so destructive to the global economy and causing so much damage, but we also have this gigantic AI bubble that is there. And as you point out, the shifting infrastructure away from the petrodollars well, So you've got all these different factors coming together all at once. And so when this great shaking comes through, what can you, you know, what is the firm rock that you can rest your finances on? I think that's gold. When you look at what's going on with Anthropic, for example, look at their IPO.
Starting point is 00:46:09 This is an article from Yahoo. Eight things that don't add up about their IPO. Number one, a $2 trillion price tag when they've got $4 billion in sales. What's a price turning racial? The fact that they lost $8 billion. The headline, $42 billion loss exaggerates the cash burn, yet the underlying business is still losing billions. And those losses are growing. For example, when they look at the fact that what their profit claim is, it leaves out the cost of them building out AI.
Starting point is 00:46:50 And then they spend more on computing. that it earns. They lose money on all these different transactions, just like I was saying before, like an electric F-150. They spent $7 billion on compute in 2025 against $4 billion in sales. And they spent about $1.60 in computing for every $1 of revenue. And then it gets even worse, Tony, because when you look at their competitors in China, like Deep Seek, Anthropic had some of the highest prices of any of the American AI companies, and they were 100 times more expensive than Deep Seek. I mean, what you could get for Deep Seek and spend three cents, you'd spend over $3 at Anthropic.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I mean, and yet, this is what our stock market is built on. Our stock market is built on a couple of companies like this. Meta is another one, and meta has a footnote. They've got an off-balance sheet debt. And the stock gets 35% more expensive. If you look at that, they say adding the off BS debt to meta's estimated value raises its valuation multiples by 35%. And so we're talking about off BS debt, that BS stands for balance sheet or maybe it stands for bullshit. That's their financial statements.
Starting point is 00:48:15 It's interesting. I noticed that a year or so ago when I got a chat GPT account, I thought, thought, well, this is $19.99 a month. You know, it's for a standard regular. Well, cell phones three times that. You got to think, look at the market. Like, so is it, again, we're way more expensive than the Asian versions of these systems. Yet not enough to make these companies worth the trillion dollars or be the next iPhone or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Because there has to be an end profitability. There has to be a way to monetize it. And I've wondered how they're going to do that. And I think maybe it's just being cheap and then having this overvalue is a way to disrupt and take over, you know, search engines and everything. What Google was or is, you know, there has to be some infrastructure, you know, internet, Silicon Valley stuff that they're trying to overtake. I mean, there's not, you're not going to create a new market worth a trillion dollar. I'm not sure how you would do that given, you know, the user fee is 20 bucks. and they've gotten a lot of flack for being that expensive, like you said.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I mean, against the deep seek and other things. Like they wanted to look at lowering prices. I'm not sure how they would do that and be profitable. What exactly are they? Well, part of their business model, of course, has always been based on theft. It's like YouTube, right? They grab, and I talked about this a couple of days ago, it's like even in the documents in this lawsuit where New York Times is suing them for intellectual property.
Starting point is 00:49:48 theft and their own documents. They said, we're creating these doom loops. We are taking, whether it's articles from journalists or websites, or whether it is music or film or whatever, we're grabbing all this stuff. And we're cutting out the creators. And they said, how long can this go on? You know, when we just live off of other people's creations, other people's music, for example, on YouTube. Nobody buys music anymore. They just go listen to it on YouTube and YouTube gives you ads and they get the lion's share of the money. and they give a little bit of it to the artist, but as they de-incentivize all this, this whole business model is really based on theft.
Starting point is 00:50:25 And I think that's why they think that's one of the reasons that they've gotten so much money. They think they can keep this up and they can extend it because that's what they're doing with AI. They're just extending the theft model, co-opting other people's work. The whole premise reminds me of there was a speechwriter for Nixon when Pat Buchanan worked in the Nixon administration. and his name was Herbert Stein. And he had, he had written something down.
Starting point is 00:50:50 They said they called it Herbert Stein's law. And Cannon referenced it all the time. It's basically said, if something cannot go on forever, it will stop. That was Herbert Stein's. So a lot of this is just, you know, the fake markets and these overvaluations. And I remember having these conversations with my dad in the late 90s, you know, and my dad was an entrepreneur at the time he was 12 years old and had built, you know, multiple businesses. And it would talk to me about the stock market.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And he goes, you know what would happen if I valued my company at a hundred times earning? Like all these, like, you think you had gasoline business and convenience stores, it'd be some insane number that's not worth that. You know, and they goes, that's why I don't, my dad never invested in stuff. Yeah, that's right. You know, he's like, I just invest in my own company. I don't do that based off of the, but that was, you know, dot com bubble era, which seems quaint now compared to, they're just building stuff that doesn't even make any sense at this point. I mean, I agree the technology is amazing, but you've got to monetize it. It has to be reasonable.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Not everything deserves an IPO. And I just think if you're looking for value in this current climate and, you know, to get back to that, I mean, base level, you're not going to go wrong with having physical gold or physical silver, something that's outside of the system. You have to be able to weather the storm, have the pain tolerance to go through some of these things. would it don't make any sense. Like, why would we depart January at $120 an ounce for silver, have the world turned upside down, and now we're half that value? Yeah. I mean, if silver is a monetary metal,
Starting point is 00:52:26 well, I give you all these explanations why, and nobody really saw coming, or maybe they did. I certainly didn't. But I do know that the long-term thesis is correct. And that's, I believe that, or I wouldn't be in the business that I'm in. And I don't have to be smart. You just said, look at history. every fiat currency goes to zero.
Starting point is 00:52:46 History gives us that layout, that blueprint. The average lifespan of a currency, not backed by gold or silver is 26 years. So we've more than doubled that because we're the world's reserve currency. But as you and I mentioned over the past many years, we lost the petro dollar, whether on purpose to create this new digitized off ramp with these stable coins, which probably looks more likely every single day. Oh, yeah, and they make money off of it. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And they enrich themselves as well. But, you know, we look at these bubbles and you were talking about the dot-com bubble. And, you know, the dot-com, the internet was a real thing. And there was a lot of money to be made there.
Starting point is 00:53:24 However, the market is irrational in both directions. It built it up way too fast. And then when it realized that it built it up way too fast, it tore down way too much as well. That's the thing we need to understand is that these bubbles don't just say, well, you know, This is too high. Let's take it down to a rational level. When it busts, it's going to go below any rational level. We already lived through that with a dot-com bus. I mean, all of the tech stocks went down.
Starting point is 00:53:52 It wasn't just some of the dot-coms that were there. But you had the people were making the picks and shovels for the internet went down. You had every single tech company went down. And we're going to see something like that happening with this because this market is much more narrow. And there's been so much more, as Alan Greenspan put it, irrational exuberance. I think you're going to see irrational exuberance in the other direction as well. That's the way these bubbles operate. You know, they overcorrect in both directions. And so that's going to be the big issue, I think. And so when you look at this and you look at the fact that
Starting point is 00:54:25 Mark Zuckerberg has got on their balance sheet, they've got $112 billion worth of costs, but then actually it's $628 billion. It's like five or six times the amount. So, uh, It's kind of funny when you look at it, but it's going to be when the music stops is going to be really, really bad. And you're going to need to have some kind of a gold chair to set in, I think. You know, it's interesting if you just remove the emotion out of it and just the absurdity from it. It's interesting to look at. The markets are irrational. They're irrational because I think my premise is that we have a fake currency.
Starting point is 00:55:10 and there's no accountability to that. I mean, you don't have to really reckon it. It doesn't, you know, so many dollars don't equal an ounce of gold fixed. And I think that just summons this sort of market behavior where you have massive times, earnings, estimates that aren't real. You have these massive budget overruns. You know, 40 trillion in debt. You know that Ray Dalio was an article over on Kitko talking about how this.
Starting point is 00:55:40 this is 100% going to be inflated away. And what do you do when you inflate away $40 trillion? You create more debt that you have to inflate away, which creates this endless cycle of, you know, a snake eating its own tail. So your premise of holding physical metals in the face of this, I think, is it doesn't have to be a genius to figure out. Like, that's the proper move,
Starting point is 00:56:03 because you're talking about a fixed supply of something. And that could be even Bitcoin, but I'm just talking about physical, a fixed supply of something in a sea of infinite is what I do. And I think all the markets and things that are being built, you know, especially in the face of the new digitized system that you and I have discussed, what I think is really important to watch,
Starting point is 00:56:24 you know, the stuff with tether and how they just sanctioned, you know, Iranian money is like 50 million or something that they sanctioned. And we're very proud of that. Oh, yeah, yeah. We're still anybody's money, yeah, for the government. Yeah. For government agents.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I mean, it's like just being in the country, years and because trust is especially in this fourth turning trust is diminishing and has diminished and then we have a you know what if the the clown world order of the trump administration which is about to hit a real speed bump okay like in the next what uh 28 days something like that we're going to see uh the the house uh and the most likely the senate is going to go to the democrats because the republicans disastrous disastrous disastrous performance in the past couple of well yeah if we have honest elections, I think that'll happen. But, you know, that's going to be a real, that's going to be the interesting outcome, I think, to see just how honest the elections are.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I mean, that would, that would be a good litmus test. If, if the Democrats don't sweep, then there's no legitimacy because there's no way people are showing up going, I love these prices and these Republicans did a good job. Like, even here in Texas, I don't know, unless you're just hardcore, still wearing your MAGA hat, you know, like you live under. power lines or something. I don't know what's going on with your brain if you still want. Well, I mean, you got Abbott is, they're concerned about Abbott. They're concerned about Paxton. And of course, Paxton's not a strong candidate, but Abbott, this would be what, it's third term, I guess, that's there. And, you know, they're all struggling against the Democrats. They're doing so well that in North Carolina, the Democrats have said, all right, we're not going to
Starting point is 00:58:01 spend any more money. They were just going to coast to victory here in North Carolina. And you've got places that haven't had a Democrat senator for 94 years. are now trending towards the Democrats. So, yeah, it will be a litmus test for the honesty of the elections, I think. Yeah, I mean, it's Greg's fourth term, I think. Is it a fourth? FDR.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Yeah, I think, yeah, I ran for Congress at the same time that Greg Abbott was running in the primary. He was Attorney General of Texas. I remember I went to a speech that he, at a convention and he, somewhere, I think I was actually here. I was in Sherman, Texas,
Starting point is 00:58:37 and it was along this, gosh, It's 2013. And he just talked about how he sues the Obama administration. I remember that. It stuck with me because I thought, you know, you have the, what about the 9th and 10th Amendment? Like I was wondering why, why don't you exercise that? You know, when you just get lawsuits that don't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:58:55 That's, I remember, I don't know if you remember a man named Tom Paukin, but Tom Pockin was head of the young Republicans back in the late 60s. He's mentioned in a couple of Buchanan's books. I ran into Tom Pocken one day at a. at a meet and greet and he was running for governor at the same time against abbott it would have been a great can't would have been a great governor you know uh real conservative and he said uh no that he goes abbott's already got all the money you know he's a real roe neocon and he's like he's like he's not he's not good for texas no no he wasn't good in 2020 that's for sure he certainly wasn't
Starting point is 00:59:30 yeah it's just a huge disappointment but that's you get those cookie cutter uh candidates and people and Yeah, it's fourth term. So I think there's a writing on the wall politically across the United States. And these energy prices really breach that. I've got a question for you. And we're going to take that when we come back, Tony. We've got to take a break here at the top of the hour, folks. We will be right back with a question for Tony.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Stay with us. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back, and we're talking to Tony Ardibon of Wise Wolf Gold. And again, you can get to Tony with David Knight.Gold. And one of the things that Tony does that I really love, and I think it's something he's oriented towards the little guys like us. And if you want to start gradually setting aside and preparing for this economic disaster that is coming together,
Starting point is 01:00:57 all these different, this perfect storm, you can start doing that a little bit at a time. And that's the way that you always have to start preparing for anything. As I said yesterday, Jack Lawson talks about preparing in terms of food. He said, just start buying a can of food here and there. And you won't even notice the money that you're spending on and start storing it like under your bed, for example. You don't need to wait until you've got enough money to go out and make a big order of some kind of storable food. Just start storing it yourself little by little. And that's what Tony does with Wise Wolf.
Starting point is 01:01:30 It gives you an opportunity to start actually preparing, not waiting until you've got some big transaction put through, but you can start doing it on a regular basis and just kind of fire and forget. Of course, you can change it at any time as well. But I got a question here for you, Tony. Hatchcar 61 says, with the instability taking place in the world and bond yields and oil rising in price, why do you think precious metals are selling off? Well, part of the answer to the question is the question itself. and the precious metals are selling off because the participants in that system need liquidity.
Starting point is 01:02:06 They probably already had holdings. Like the war itself and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, it was a big shock to the global system, which was already fragile in the first place. I mean, even from, you know, we're still reeling from the Trump lockdowns of 2020 and the supply disruptions and everything that happened. Not just the United States, but globally. So that was a real shock. And gold served its function.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Silver is a lot less so. And people ask me about this all the time. I think silver has a way higher upside, but you've got to ride that volatility. That's the thing. It's kind of like Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin's volatile. You can have 30, 40 percent swings, you know, and sometimes that really goes into your favor. Gold a lot less so.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Gold is the most mature monetary asset. in the world. It's been, it's been creeping into the, the financial system for thousands of years. I mean, it's, you know, you go back to Lydia, you know, the, uh, creases who had the first, um, gold coins and they called Electrum. It was a, an alloy of gold and silver, first coinage, you know, this 2,500 BC or so. And, and gold predates even that by thousands of years and tradeability and the thing. So gold has had a lot of. a huge head start on just about everything and every currency that's
Starting point is 01:03:31 out there. So that's why it's used in what I like about gold is I know whether I'm here in Denison, Texas or whether I'm in Beijing or whether I'm in Australia. The spot is spot. You know, Robert Kiyosaki tells a great story
Starting point is 01:03:50 about he was a Marine helicopter pilot in Vietnam and he was very interested in money his whole life. And so he's a young guy. He's in Vietnam. He's a helicopter pilot. He flies behind enemy lines because they had a gold mine there. He was in Vietnam and flies behind enemy lines to go buy some gold. And he meets an old lady that chew this like beetroot kind of thing and made their teeth red. And she just put out her hand, said, Spot. And he didn't know what that meant because this is like 1971, you know, right when we
Starting point is 01:04:19 went off the gold standard. So he wanted some gold. And he learned what Spot was. Basically, Spot was universal in this little hamlet in Vietnam and North Vietnam in a war is just as it was, you know, thousands of miles away. Wow. So spots universal, that's a great thing. And that pretty much sinks up the world around like what value is. So gold is very liquid. Silver can be.
Starting point is 01:04:46 But the most liquid monetary asset on earth, gold. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And as you're pointing out, it's a bit of a roller coaster. And as I've said before, I get too old to ride roller coasters. They just had some roller coasterats. I forget where it was, it was a six flag or something. Maybe you saw it where they had to shut the ride down.
Starting point is 01:05:03 They had people get injured because the whiplash on it was so severe. It caused them to have brain damage. Yeah, I can relate to that economically. I've had some brain damage from some economic roller coaster. I probably do. I mean, I don't realize how much this stuff affects me. You know, I just catches up with me sometimes. You know, and I go, wow, I really am in the middle.
Starting point is 01:05:23 Because they're trying to balance so many orders and buying. and locking and doing all this stuff to protect yourself, you know, because you're in a volatile thing. I like it when gold dips into the, you know, 3,900 range because I'm going to back the truck up and buy a bunch of fractional gold for Wolfpack and pass the savings on. I'm, I'm okay with you. You and the Chinese central bank are doing the same thing. That's the smart.
Starting point is 01:05:45 It's funny, but human nature, when your audience ought to start meditating on this. So human nature will show you buying something at the top. And I don't know why that is. I buy things, not enough, but I buy things. I was buying Bitcoin at $400. Unfortunately, I put all the Bitcoin through my machines. I should have just kept them. But that's okay.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Lesson, I learned how to use it. So, you know, it's a very expensive, very expensive lesson on learning how to use a cryptocurrency 10 years ago. But, no, you know, gold's liquid. That's why it was sold off during that volatility. But make no mistake. it will, like, it'll find its level again. And I think we're way undervalued. Right.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Well, it fulfilled its purpose. And that was to help people on a rainy day. And we have this perfect storm that's coming. And when we look at all the different results of these different things, I mean, whether we're talking about a permission-based financial system or talking about massive inflation, you know, always points back to gold to me. I got a comment here from Star Barkling. Thank you for the tip, Star.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I appreciate that. I'm now proud Alpha. It feels so good. Great company, Tony. There you go. And I can underscore that as well. And it is a great way to start to dollar cost average, be able to be part of a buying group and get that leverage there as well.
Starting point is 01:07:12 And also just regularly save. You know, there's a lot to be said for a regular savings program. And if you've got a savings program, you know, I want to put it in something. It's not going to lose value. That's the key. I think so. Yeah. Anything else you want to tell us, Tony, about what's happening with Wise Wolf or the world?
Starting point is 01:07:31 Well, I got a show coming up here at 11, Central, 12 Eastern, Arturban Radio transmission, and I'll be live for about an hour. And, you know, working on a bunch of different projects, it's funny. I think you and I have the same, not, you do it so much more broadcast. I don't know how you do the shows that you do. It's getting harder. I do it. and I remember going, I think I just aged 10 years.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Six years ago, I did a full week of shows for you. But no, I'm looking at doing a lot more intel for people. I'm working on a newsletter. That's something that's going to come to fruition by the end of the year. I'm hoping. But, you know, the weeks bleed into themselves, David. I kind of gets away from me. And by Thursday, I'm like, it's Thursday again.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I'm going to talk to David. I go do my show. And so, you know, I appreciate everybody's patience with a lot of these projects and things that we're doing. But the cool thing about Wolfpack and like you mentioned, this company that we built, and I got such a great team. They make me look good, by the way.
Starting point is 01:08:32 I mean, there's no way I can do all the stuff that my people do. But we've got a lot of improvements and other things coming your way and other great products. So they, that your comment on the Alpha Wolf. If you look at that, you know, it's a $250 a month,
Starting point is 01:08:51 dollar cost averaging alpha wolf is. I just started putting in half gram gold into it. So we were able to source half gram gold bars, which I haven't been able to get for a long time. And the premiums, you know, we cut those premiums down significantly. So that's a great way to hold. I mean, you get a half gram of gold,
Starting point is 01:09:09 get a gold bar. It's usually assayed. And then you get, you know, silver, silver eagles, stuff like that and fractional silver. It's a good mix. I spend time on these invoices. So I appreciate that. And we're just trying to make it more efficient,
Starting point is 01:09:23 and easier. And plus you, you can always get in touch with me. There's no, there's no AI bot like, you know, rerouting you to some call center. Like, you can get through the, that's right. Call the switchboard. You can get to me. Okay. That's right. And, and, you know, we just had, I haven't gotten to it. Yeah, but we had a, uh, just had a CIA crook, uh, get caught. And he had $194 million worth of gold. He had bars, gold bars and all this other kind of stuff. But, uh, they know where to put it, you know, that's, he doesn't, he didn't invest it. And he doesn't, he didn't invest it and he didn't hold it in fiat currency. He put it in gold. That's exactly right. Just like that crooked senator up in New Jersey. What was it? Menendez. Yeah. He was collecting his money on the
Starting point is 01:10:04 side. So it's out of the system. That's the key thing. It's going to hold its value. And so we should all be thinking about that because they want to criminalize all of us in terms of everything that we do, beginning with our speech. And so, you know, you want to have something outside that system. It's really been driven on with me with PayPal and Vimmo and other places like that. So I want to, my first priority is getting out of the system. And if it's something that's going to hold its value, that's like, I'm there. You know, that's really what I want to focus on. Well, thank you so much, Tony. It's always great talking to you. And again, you can go to davidnight.orgol. That'll take you to Tony's wise wolf and let him know that you came through us and start thinking about how you can start
Starting point is 01:10:46 to prepare outside of this system that they're designing. It's not a system that you want to be a part of, but you want to be part of Wise Wolf. Thank you so much, Tony. Appreciate it. Yes, sir. We'll be right back, folks. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Yeah, welcome back. And before we had Tony, we were just talking about the fact that Trump came in, talking about he was going to support free speech. And yet, what do we see now? We've got people in his administration boasting, boasting about the fact that they have taken the visas of 25,000 students, sorry, not 25, 250,000 students who criticized Israel. You can criticize US, you can criticize Trump,
Starting point is 01:12:12 but you cannot criticize Israel. And there's a reason for that. And Sebastian Gorka was proud of it when he talked about how Trump loves Israel so much. Anti-Semitism or Jew hatred is much bigger than simply the hatred of one nation in the Middle East. And the fact is there has been no president, no president, as philosemitic
Starting point is 01:12:39 in support of the Jewish people since the rebirth of Israel in 1948 than the current incumbent, the commander in chief, a man behind the Reslude desk, Donald Trump. Yeah, there's a good reason for that because he is a Jew.
Starting point is 01:12:54 He carries the Zohar over his, where is it over his heart? I think he literally is the first Jewish president. Unfortunately, I don't think he's going to be the last. But when we look at what is happening in this country, it really does. We see it in the U.K. We see free speech is being killed because the demands of the Islamists in the UK. In the U.S., it's being killed because the demands of the radical Zionists.
Starting point is 01:13:20 And people like Sebastian Gorka, who came to this country, and now is doing the best that he can to destroy the foundations of it. in my opinion. And when we look at what is happening with the demands about free speech, just understand where this is going. We look at Islam, when we look at the Noahide laws and the Sanhedron that they want to establish, this is what it looks like when you criticize or you say something in a Muslim country. Man was having an argument on Facebook and a Muslim online insulted his Hindu God, so he in turn insulted Muhammad. A user took a screenshot of his comment, reported him to the authorities, got him arrested, and now he is set to be executed
Starting point is 01:14:02 in Sri Lanka. I'm sorry, Saudi Arabia. He was from Sri Lanka. 24 years old, he goes to Saudi Arabia and our great head chopping allies. You want to talk about people who chop off heads? Why don't you hear them saying that about Saudi Arabia anymore? But of course, in Saudi Arabia, they will do that to you. And you will have a situation. And our U.S. government was very careful when they went to Afghanistan, for example. I still remember a friend of mine who was on the military. He retired, very high-ranking, and he was putting together a contract for a website of news in Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:14:41 He contacted me because he knew I had done some websites. And I said, well, it's not really the type of thing that I do. But let me get you in touch with somebody. I got him in touch with a Christian friend of mine. And they had just come out with statements from the U.S. military saying, do not carry Bibles to Saudi Arabia. If you carry them, keep them hidden. I'm sorry, not Saudi Arabia, but it was Afghanistan.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Keep them hidden. We don't want people to see the Bible. We don't offend anybody. And he said, so my Christian friend contacted him and he said, I'm not interested in doing any work for an institution like the U.S. military that would put a gag order on people for Bibles. And so my friend called me back and he goes, does he not love our country?
Starting point is 01:15:23 And he said, no, he just loves Christ. Christ more, and you have to understand he's not going to be silenced about that. But they want to silence us. They want to silence any criticism. They want to control our religion, and I've played the clips for you. The people who are Zionists and who support the Noahide laws, and they get in people's face and say, I should be killing you. Well, why aren't you?
Starting point is 01:15:47 Well, I will when we get the Sanhedron here. You are an idolater, and the punishment for that is death. So we've got Islam, we got the Zionists who want to take over our country and loot it, and they want to destroy free speech. And yet it always comes down to whose values? Somebody's values, folks, are always going to be presented. If we're not going to have a country that is based on Christian values, and I'm not saying that we impose those from a government level.
Starting point is 01:16:20 But there are people who want to take over our culture. culture, take over what we hear and what we say, and they demand it. And they want to impose their values and use government to impose it. Here is a town council in Iowa where they opened with a satanic prayer. And this is one of the things that... By 30, in this meeting to order, we will start with the invocation and the pledge. So those that would like to participate in the invocation, please stand. Yeah, here we go.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Now, when this guy starts reading a satanic prayer, look at this video. everybody bows their head as if they were in a church. Let us stand now unbowed and unfed by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge. Yeah, right. And on and on. I don't really care what he has to say. The bottom line is he starts out by saying, unbowed, we stand before you, right?
Starting point is 01:17:14 We bow our heads and humility to God, but he is in defiance of God. And that's what I'm saying. There's a competition always between. different worldviews and different values. And we're told all the time, well, we should not impose our values. We shouldn't even speak our values because we might offend somebody. That's another disease inside evangelicalism, the fact that you don't want to give people the good news. Because they might take it as hateful.
Starting point is 01:17:40 I couldn't care less what people see as hateful, quite frankly. I'm not going to gag myself based on that. And when we look at, again, this pagan prayer, this guy was a, I haven't seen anything that amazing since you had Michael Flynn going to a Christian church building and doing exactly the same thing and leading people in a prayer to ascended masters that he plagiarized word for word from Elizabeth Clare Prophet. And back in the 1980s, this is how people get taken over. They have this, they're concerned, they're afraid of what other people think of them,
Starting point is 01:18:21 and they are just going to go along with the crowd that's there. Don't do that. Armed Israeli settlers beat and rob an AFP photographer. This is a guy, a veteran photographer who's worked there for a long time, 58 years old. The Committee to Protect Journalism documented at least 16 incidents involving 35 Palestinian-Israeli, and international journalists. In just the first eight months of 2026 alone, throughout all of last year, there were 13, incidents that involved 25 journalists, but now they've already had 16 incidents and 35 instead of 25
Starting point is 01:18:59 journalists. So what was happening with this was they had a, they're taking pictures at a village as Palestinians were harvesting olives. This is a real big issue, the fight over the olive trees. Not only is it an economic issue, this is the way the people survive there. They destroy their economy. It is another aspect of the genocide. You want to make sure that, that you destroy people economically, destroy their buildings, you kill them, you take away their food,
Starting point is 01:19:26 their medicine, their water. This is what is happening everywhere. And so they were filming them, harvesting olives. And then a man on a quad bike approach, an open fire, shot a Palestinian in the foot.
Starting point is 01:19:38 And then a bunch of Israeli settlers started running at the press. Six other armed men started running toward the journalists that were there, photographers, and firing their weapons. they tried to get in the truck, but the Palestinian photographer that was there got caught on the outside. Two men tackled him and repeatedly struck him with rifle butts.
Starting point is 01:20:00 He is now in the hospital. The other guy who was able to get in the car said I could hear his screens. They destroyed his camera equipment. And there were a dozen fully equipped IDF soldiers standing about 500 meters away that did not do anything. And this is what they have seen over and over again. again. You had the AFP Global News Director, said we strongly condemn yet another serious attack on journalists trying to report on events in the West Bank and demand a full investigation. It is unacceptable that journalists can be beaten and robbed by armed settlers,
Starting point is 01:20:35 while Israeli security forces fail to intervene, standing right there. And so we're told by Netanyahu that these settlers are just juvenile delinquents. They're just teens. And sometimes they kill people. That's a bad thing. But, you know, we can't blame the IDF for any of this stuff. But they have been seizing and destroying the Palestinian-owned olive trees. They don't like the trying to destroy the money that they have there. But they also don't like the olive trees.
Starting point is 01:21:05 They're allergic to the pollen. Another indication that they are not from that area. But I'll just say it again. You know, when you look at all of the lies that are put out by people like Huckabee, who basically has – because he wants to be like, by these people, or whatever his reasons are, he has replaced Christ with Israel. He is denied Christ. And that is the essence of dispensationalism, the theology of that, replacing Christ with
Starting point is 01:21:34 the nation of Israel over and over again. Well, Trump could try to strike Iran ahead of midterms. There are reports from inside the administration that he thinks that might be of some political value to do that and pretend that he has some kind of a victory. Nevertheless, how cynical is that? Yeah, a Republican familiar with the discussions said it would make the president look like you got to win and that gas prices might start going down. Well, they wouldn't go down. And he, but he would kill people just for the optics. Military action has done nothing to drive down oil prices. In fact, that's why they're high, of course. And his own advisors think they ought to wait
Starting point is 01:22:16 until after the election. And he says, we've been stocking up for the last six months. Last week, he predicted U.S. victory soon after the vote before adding, maybe we'll do it before the elections. Well, it is absolutely disastrous. And he will continue to go down this path as long as he can. And there will be a period of time, even if the Democrats get into a position where they could stop him, they won't be able to stop him until sometime in January or February.
Starting point is 01:22:46 So we're got at least another six months of this, another year of this to create a global depression. Meanwhile, as we're looking at spy charges, it's interesting. There was a massive arrest of a former spy chief in Germany on espionage charges and also being charged with treason. And at the center of this is perhaps the Israeli government. The German government would not name who it was. they said he was working to help a foreign government. However, it was Israeli media that said that there was a connection between this guy and the Israeli government.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Going back to a case that is currently being litigated in Germany, it involves six Israeli defendants who were hired by a journalist heir, Christina Block, and she was, she paid these Israelis to kidnap her children. from her husband as they had a custody dispute. And so I'm sorry, I said journalist. She's a restaurant heiress. And so she paid these Israelis to kidnap her own kids and then to plant fake child abuse information
Starting point is 01:24:00 on the phone of her estranged husband. Isn't it funny that, of course you would go to them to do that, right? Now they've got an app for it. And now they have Toka, which will put, fake images. They can do it even in real time, and they have allied them with the flock cameras. And so this guy that has been arrested was one who brokered all of this stuff, and they accuse him of having given other information to a quote-unquote foreign government. That is really people say it looks like it's the Israeli government.
Starting point is 01:24:38 That's the Israeli journalists are saying that. Well, John Kiryaku had an interesting thing to say about his friends who were in the CIA when they went to Israel. He said, this is really crazy. Listen to this story. It is crazy what the Israelis do. The story that you're talking about is I sat next to a guy at the CIA for years. It's a dear friend.
Starting point is 01:24:59 His wife sat 10 feet away from us. And when I was transferred to Bahrain in the 1990s, he and his wife were transferred to Jerusalem. They were overt CIA employees. And so when they arrived in Israel, They were re-declared to the Israeli Mossad, where the station chief takes them to Mossad and says, these are my officers, they're here to work with you. Well, the wife was there to work with them, and the husband was taking a sabbatical to learn Arabic at one of the universities.
Starting point is 01:25:31 They went to a welcome party. It's called a Hail and Farewell party at the Ambassador's Residents in Tel Aviv. When they got home, all of their living room furniture had been rearranged. And they said, okay, all right, well, this is what they do. to tell us that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want it, we get it. About a year later, I'm sorry, forgive me, a few months later at the Ambassador's Christmas party, they drive back from Tel Aviv, and people had defecated in all of the toilets in their house. Another message, we can come into your house anytime we want, and there's nothing
Starting point is 01:26:09 you can do about it. When they were getting ready to leave at the end of their two-year tour, the ambassador had the farewell party for them. And when they got home, the dog was under the dining room table whimpering. Somebody had cut its tail off and wrapped the stub in medical tape and gauze. Yesterday, yesterday, I was talking to the son of one of my best friends. He's a member of one of the SEAL teams. And he had just returned from a joint military exercise with the Brits and the Israelis.
Starting point is 01:26:44 And he said, first, this is just a few weeks ago, he flew to the UK and bought a cheap laptop computer, one of these $200 laptops you buy at Target, so that it had nothing on it, just so he could access his emails, took it with him to the UK, had it in his backpack, went to the, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:01 hello, how are you meeting to say, you know, I'm from SEAL Team 4 and, you know, nice to meet you, got back to his room, opened up the computer, the entire computer was in Hebrew. the whole thing. He has no idea how to use it what to do with it.
Starting point is 01:27:17 From the UK, they went on to Israel and getting back to this, you know, scatological thing, this obsession that the Israelis have. In his hotel room, somebody had defecated in the toilet, but then used his bath towel to wipe himself
Starting point is 01:27:33 and then laid it out on the bed for him. This is two weeks ago. And we're giving them $2.8 billion and free weapons or missiles, rockets that you and I are paying for. So why do they do this? Because they know that they have political cover. On Capitol Hill, nobody dares challenge the Israelis.
Starting point is 01:27:55 If you do, you're going to get primaried, and you're probably going to lose. I'll give you another example. And this is kind of a selfish one. And I don't really care. I'm just using it as an example. I got a call from a Texas state senator about a year ago. and he said, hey, I'm a Texas state senator, and I want to make a John Kiriaku day in Texas.
Starting point is 01:28:18 He said, we do like 140 of these a year. You get a certificate with a gold seal, and it's signed by the governor, and it's nice you put it in a frame. I said, oh, my God, thank you so much. He calls me a couple of weeks later. He said, this John Kiriaku day, it's not going to happen. I said, oh, it's a shame.
Starting point is 01:28:36 You mind if I ask you what happened? He said, yeah, APAC killed it. I said, APAC, in Austin, Texas. And he said, oh, they're in all 50 state capitals. It's not just Capitol Hill. It's all 50 state capitals. And now it's the big cities, the city councils. You can't do anything without APEC saying it's okay.
Starting point is 01:28:58 Or at the higher federal national security level without Mossad saying it's okay. And they know that they can fuck with you in any way they want. And nobody on Capitol Hill. is going to have the guts to say a word. So why not? They think it keeps us in our place. That's right. Yeah, don't Sharia my country.
Starting point is 01:29:20 I have a thing, don't Sharia my Texas because of the massive communities that they're trying to put in there. But don't A-PAC Texas either or any other part of my country. It is a repeated pattern, isn't it? Spy, spy, spy,
Starting point is 01:29:36 blackmail, defecation, porn, you name it. It seems to be a characteristic, doesn't it? In Israeli citizen who is caught stealing highly sensitive semiconductor technology from the United States is being allowed to return to Israel instead of going to prison. His name is Guy Galante. He worked as a senior manager at a semiconductor company in Arizona, and over several months he secretly photographed proprietary designs,
Starting point is 01:30:04 copied critical software, and sent everything to Israel. He played guilty to conspiring to steal trade secrets. Yet he endured no punishment, as he is now flinged to Israel. This is part of a consistent pattern. Israeli citizens committing crimes abroad, getting caught, and then being allowed to return back to Israel under the law of return. There's something else I found interesting. Israel was preparing to make major advancements in semiconductor technology in 2012.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Shortly after that, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared. The plane was carrying 20 engineers from free-scale sales. semiconductor who specialized in next generation chip technology. There are other suspicious plane crashes and disappearances involving semiconductor engineers around that same time period. If you can find them, you should put them in the comment section for others to read, and you can decide if it's a coincidence or if it's part of a plan coming into focus. Yeah, they keep doing the same thing over and over again, don't they?
Starting point is 01:31:06 And of course, this guy who stole the military secrets, just like Jonathan Pollard, another version of that, perhaps when he gets to Israel, Scott-Free, I'm sure that Mark Levin's son-in-law can arrange a meeting for him with Mike Huckabee, and they can pat him on the back for what he did for Israel, because that's what they worship. Well, Donald Trump began by saying he was going to bring back the free press. You had Biden who had criminalized free speech, right, coming after people who were lawfully protesting, constitutionally protesting. protesting on January the 6th. I'm not talking about violence, but of course, even the people who were committing violence were given excessive punishment as a violation of the Eighth Amendment. But he claimed that he was going to bring back free speech. But boy, does he hate the press and free speech when they say something that he doesn't like. The Ohio arena was already
Starting point is 01:32:02 full to the brim, and yet these people were still trying to get in, he said. That's in response to the New York Times correspondent writing on Sunday that several areas, of an upper deck were empty by the time the president finished speaking at Butler High School in Van Dalia. They had an auditorium that seated about 4,500 people. People were talking about the fact that you could see people falling asleep and dozing off as he was speaking. A lot of people left early. But Trump's response is the New York Times should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our country because that's him. He is. the country, right? So bored people at the rally yon and struggled to stay awake. And what is happening
Starting point is 01:32:49 is his charm wearing off? This guy who I said for the longest time is going to be Jimmy Carter for the GOP, if we still have any real elections, the first Senate loss in 94 years in Kansas for the Republicans. They've always won there. As I mentioned when I had Tony on in North Carolina, the Democrat SuperPack has pulled down their ads coasting to victory in North Carolina in that particular Senate race. And we see the same thing happening in many other places as well, even in South Carolina. Lindsey Graham's and Donald Trump's nepotism to put his sister in, who is proudly ignorant of everything.
Starting point is 01:33:31 She'll just do whatever she's told. So they want her in there. So they put her in over somebody who actually, takes an interest in some of the issues that she'll just follow orders on. They primaried him out and they have her so good luck trying to get her elected. When we look at all this, it really is about socialism, isn't it? This is where we're headed. And you know, the very things that Trump is doing in terms of this massive redistribution of wealth to the very few is really driving socialism at the grassroots in reaction to his policies. The near American points out, Republican Socialist
Starting point is 01:34:07 of America. They said, the modern mainstream left with its open embrace of Marxism represents a clear, subversive danger to our republic, to private property, to our God-given rights. However, the Democrat Socialist of America, the DSA, zealous socialism, doesn't mean that non-DSA or establishment Democrats are any less socialist. They aren't. Nor does it mean that the Republicans are the polar opposite. They are not uncompromising stalwart defenders of the free market either. On the contrary, Republicans are not immune to the allure of socialism. Over 60 years ago, Barry Goldwater in Arizona and the burgeoning conservative movement
Starting point is 01:34:51 faced a similar crisis of courage within the GOP. Goldwater and his supporters fiercely rejected the liberal establishment wing of the party, led by Nelson Rockefeller, and famously derided them as Me Too Republicans. Yeah, whatever the Democrats have come up with, they would meet-to-it-eat establishment. Republicans would cower and proclaim, me-too, terrified of standing in the gap and boldly rejecting these things on constitutional principles. And now we've got Johnson who does that, Mike Johnson. He's always me-to, whatever Trump says.
Starting point is 01:35:25 And, of course, Trump is a socialist. He is a New York Democrat and a socialist. And he's also a Zionist. And he is also, I think, a Jewish convert. It's kind of interesting how these things all come together. And the Republicans are simply not looking at this in a rational way, the grassroots Republicans. At the first ever Republican midterm convention and Dallas Trump promised if Republicans win control the House, it gave everybody a $5,000 dividend check.
Starting point is 01:35:56 That folks is buying votes like a traditional socialist. A massive multi-trillion dollar wealth redistribution scheme. And then J.D. Vance said federal payments of up to nine things. $2,000 a year for married stay-at-home patients. These are the tactics of Democrats and of socialists. And so if this is what you want, the Democrats can do wealth redistribution even more proudly than the Republicans, but J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are there. These are not constitutional free market principles.
Starting point is 01:36:28 They are sweeping Me Too expansions of the welfare state. So this is something I thought was interesting, and it needs to be said. the Republican Party has roots in Marxism, folks. You should go back and look at the Republican Party and its founding. And I've mentioned this before. Harry Turtle Dove, who wrote an alternative history book, and he really knew who the people were and where they were coming from. And so he writes an alternative civil war history book.
Starting point is 01:36:58 And in it, before I think it was the Battle of Ventinum, where they dropped some orders about where to move troops. And the guy didn't realize he dropped it. fell into union hands and that turned the tide of that battle, but it could have ended early if that had not happened. And so in his book, he says, oh, you know, they find it. The guy says, wait a minute, you drop this. Imagine if that fell into enemy hands. And so the war ends early. And the South gets its independence. And so then he follows all these different characters, many of them who died in the war several decades later. When he comes to so many of them,
Starting point is 01:37:31 I mean, it was really spot on in terms of extending their personality. Abraham Lincoln and losing the war is thrown out of the presidency and he spends a period of time in isolation. But then he comes back as leader of the socialist party. He knew exactly what that was about. And you should know who Lincoln is as well because of the worship that he gets in America. There's a couple of good books I'd recommend on that that are nonfiction. One of them is from Eggerli Masters. That's Lincoln, the Man.
Starting point is 01:38:02 That goes back to 1931. That can be hard to find. I've got a copy of that. But there's another one done by Thomas D. Lorenzo, who is still alive, called the real Lincoln. And I would suggest both of those to you. But here's a little bit about what you'll learn if you get those books. This is from the New American. They say, following the failed European socialist revolutions of 1848, thousands of radical German political refugees, known as the 48ers, fled to the Midwest in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:38:30 These radical immigrants steeped in Marxist theology, became a crucial voting block in a organizational force in the founding of the Republican Party in 1854. During the 1850s, the most widely circulated media organ of the early Republican Party was Horace Greeley's New York Daily Tribune. The managing editor, Charles Anderson, was a communist, and he hired Carl Marx as the paper's lead foreign correspondence. So again, the leading Republican paper had Karl Marx as their foreign correspondent. And then when Abraham Lincoln won the election, he graciously acknowledged and received an official letter of congratulation from Karl Marx himself and from the International
Starting point is 01:39:21 Working Men's Association in 1864. Modern Republicans have also embraced and mainstream the radical demands of people like Eugene Debs and the Socialist Party of America. The Socialist Party of America platform aggressively demanded national insurance against old age, unemployment insurance, sickness, and accidents, in addition to championing strict federal labor standards. The Socialist Party viewed these proposals as intermediate steps toward the total abolition of private property. And of course, things like taxpayer compulsory education. That's long been something that has been supported by Republicans and so-called conservatives.
Starting point is 01:40:02 That was a plank of the Communist Party and the Socialists as well, because it is a tool of control. So again, today you can see, they don't talk about it in this article from the New American, but today you can see that the GOP is basically owned by APEC and by the neo-Marxists, as George Gilder calls them, of the technocracy. These people are market.
Starting point is 01:40:28 Absolutely are Marxists. And as a matter of fact, there's an interesting article on RT talking about that. Okay, comrade, the American AI dream sounds a lot like digital communism. It absolutely is. Beneath the talk about freedom that you get from people like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk lies a centralized machine that sucks up private data, flattens dissent and redistributes cognition by tokens. And again, George Gilder called them neo-Marxist. Neomarchs is not in the sense even that they want total control and to put us all on universal basic income. But it flows out of their fallacious ideas along with Karl Marx,
Starting point is 01:41:12 who at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, said we have now unlimited material wealth and we just need to figure out how we're going to redistribute it. And that's the way these people talk. They all think that. Elon Musk absolutely believes that. All these people who are selling UBI, that is exactly what they believe. Trump's rationale that the word artificial makes the technology sound fake,
Starting point is 01:41:34 so now he wants to call it super intelligence. Well, I think it really is intelligence in the sense of spying on people, right? And it is super in that regard. So it is a subtle propaganda, really, that government is superior and they are the key customer of these companies as well. I want to, when you go back and look at Anthropic
Starting point is 01:42:01 as I pointed out the other day, one of the other big red flags with Anthropic is that 25% of their sales go to just two customers. And I wonder if one of those is the government. As a matter of fact, both of those might be the government. Two different branches of the government. But it's primarily aimed at cooling, public
Starting point is 01:42:21 heat around apocalyptic AI narratives when they talk about this renaming of it. And also the growing discontent over the data centers, what would you expect from Trump, whose 2024 campaign was heavily bankrolled by tech elites like Musk, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, and others to promote their corporate agenda? There's one critical thread that's left out of the conversation, which is inherently collectivist nature of the superintelligence that they want to shape the future, quote, golden age of America. And as I point out before, when you look at the fact that Trump keeps this Zohar, which is over his chest, over his heart, that is a key central part of that philosophy as well. And that is the idea that the Jews are going to experience a golden age
Starting point is 01:43:13 where they subjugate everybody else globally. And so that may be what he means when he talks about a golden age, but when they enslave everyone. Perhaps they'll use robots to do it. You know, robot came from the check word for slave. You may find, however, that robots are used to enslave you, not to serve as your slave. I think they'll be winding up using these things to as slaves to the elites, but not to you. Peter Thiel has drawn parallels between AI and collectivism. he argued that unlike crypto, which he believes promotes libertarianism, he said AI at its core is
Starting point is 01:43:54 communist. And so is the UBI. And so is the dark enlightenment of Curtis Jarvin and these people. They like the idea of a strong dictator. There is indeed a deep structural similarity between the growth of AI systems and the core Marxist ideas. Building a powerful AI model requires massive centralization. More powerful AI models require harvesting billions of gigabytes of data and a massive data centers controlled by only a handful of corporate entities with a necessary capital and computing power. This is yet again something that I absolutely had an experience with and absolutely hated. Mainframe computing. That was the only thing that was around when I got started at. They didn't have many computers. They didn't have personal computers. And so everybody,
Starting point is 01:44:44 everything was concentrated and centralized and controlled, very expensive, tightly controlled. And that is exactly what we do not want. That is exactly what these people who own and control Trump out of Silicon Valley. That's precisely what they want to recreate. The early days of computing where there were only mainframe computers. Now they want to do this in massive data centers. The only way that you're going to be able to, you can't put the technology back in the box. This Pandora's box is open. And it's like toothpaste out of the tube. You can't put it back in. So what are you going to do with this? The best thing that you can do is to not allow them to monopolize this into a cartel, not allow them to criminalize software development and independent
Starting point is 01:45:26 development. That would be the thing that will give them that kind of monopoly on power if we let them do that. Your private intellectual ownership is effectively cast out of the window for good. Whatever you write on the internet, whatever you post on YouTube, even the books that you publish way, before the age of AI, all of it turns into food for AI, constantly fed in chunks into the data center to trade a model, to train a model, which in turn redistributes the results of your work to anyone who uses AI. This inherently builds a top-down, centralized system of information, redistribution, which is reminiscent of how collectivist states function. And stop and think about how that folds into the communist aspect of it as well. They don't talk about it.
Starting point is 01:46:14 about this in the article. But what do communists do? Well, one of the things that they do is they co-opt all private property. That's what they're doing with AI. They're co-opting all private intellectual property. They're taking control of it and then doling it out to people. Now, they're also making a profit out of it because, look, we understand that the communists have wised up a bit. You know, both Hitler and Stalin called themselves socialist. Hitler was a national socialist. Stalin was an internationalist, right? That was their anthem was the international. And so they wanted to focus on an outward look. But of course, they all wanted global dominance, right? And they were all about socialism. Hitler said, Stalin made a tactical mistake by taking over the companies
Starting point is 01:47:03 and deciding that he was going to run them himself. He said, I'm going to let these people run it, and I will control them, right? And we have that kind of authoritarian, um, fascist, if you will, but also it's socialism or communism, that mixture of it. We see that in China, and that's what Trump is starting to set up here as well. You have crooked politicians at the top who get paid, and they run the corporations, and they take a share in it, but they actually run the corporations. They don't just bail them out. That was bad enough when the government bailed out failing corporations.
Starting point is 01:47:36 Now they want to have a share in it. The government wants a share, and the guy who is running the government and his family, demand a share of it. That's the Chinese model. That's what communism has turned into because communism, again, is a criminal enterprise, and that's what we're seeing here. But it is really the confiscation of property, of intellectual property that's also behind this. It's not just the idea that they have infinite capability of producing infinite material goods and have to redistribute it. No, it's that they go in and they steal your intellectual property and they take away your ability to earn a living. All of that is happening with artificial intelligence right now.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Big tech leaders are increasingly using the rise of AI to push for heavily socialist economic frameworks as part of their public relations strategy. Sam Altman, for instance, has advocated for universal basic income, which is classic socialist economics. And I'm really disappointed. You've got a lot of people in the past who were libertarian economists who are so drawn into this technocracy that Charles Murray, for example, who wrote the book Losing Ground, that was a foundational text for welfare reform during the Reagan years. And now he is an advocate of this communist universal basic income. If that sounds too good to be true, well, it is because it is too good to be true.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Altman eventually walked back the idea, replacing it with the concept that he calls universal basic compute. Now, let me just say this. I didn't see this when I first read this article, but as I'm talking about it, that is, again, the communization and the state ownership of information again. And so we'll give you a share of that. How about that? We'll steal everything from you, and then we'll give you a small share in it. That's always the Marxist approach, isn't it? And so you have Zuckerberg and his public manifesto says, the future is for everyone. Yeah. Is it really? Sounds very Orwellian, doesn't it? Well, that future that he wants, he wants to make sure that you can't escape it. That's why you need to be working on your methods to
Starting point is 01:49:53 escape. And tomorrow we have with us joining us, we're going to be talking to Noah Sanders, who is a Christian who is helping people to do homesteading as well as talking to farmers about ways they can get out of this system. And it goes back to some techniques that were discovered that are a lot less low-tech, a lot less in terms of going into massive debt to get big expensive tractors that run off a diesel fuel and require this kind of fertilizer that we're increasingly unable to get.
Starting point is 01:50:27 The things that bankrupt farmers going into debt, to try to do this large-scale farming. He said you can make a lot more and have something that is sustainable if you go lower scale and you go less impact on it. But he also does it from a Christian standpoint. And that is the important thing. We're not going to be able to sustain anything if we don't have a system that is based on the foundational principles of Christianity.
Starting point is 01:50:52 That was one of the things the founders understood. When you have these invocations to start these different bodies, like we had the person leading the satanic prayer. Why do we have that? Well, it goes back to what Benjamin Franklin said. He said, we saw God's help in his providence in terms of being able to survive in this war with what was the world's superpower at the time. And he goes, so why is it when we are trying to get this Constitution through?
Starting point is 01:51:20 We're struggling with us and we're hitting dead ends everywhere that we go. Why don't we pray about this? When all else fails, you might be. might want to do that. And sometimes that's a good place to start rather than beating your head against the wall for a long period of time. But that was kind of the tradition that was there. And that's why I really enjoyed that movie, A Great Awakening. I'll recommend it again, by the way. I was referring to it as The Great Awakening. There was a movement called The Great Awakening, but this movie is really about Benjamin Franklin's Great Awakening. And his involvement with George Whitfield,
Starting point is 01:51:58 who was so foundational in all of that. It's a great movie. You really should see it. And if you see that, then you start to understand why, regardless of what the personal beliefs were of the different founders, they understood that that kind of government that they gave us was only going to work, as John Adams said, if we have a moral and a just people.
Starting point is 01:52:21 We have people who are looking to see how they can stab other people in the back, to see what they can get away with, to say, well, I know that you would steal from me, so I'm going to steal from you first. Those are the ethics that I have seen start to take over this country, starting in New York. And sorry if you're from New York, but I saw this a lot in New York City. I had never seen anything like that until I went up there with Karen. It wasn't the way that Tampa was when I was growing up in Tampa. But we see these types of values now metastasizing rapidly.
Starting point is 01:52:54 And I think they're coming from the APAC involvement, frankly. It is a very Jewish way of doing business, stabbing people on the back. And I don't support that. It's not going to be able to, we're not going to be able to sustain America on these types of Talmudic values. I don't say Jewish values because the Jewish values that are in the Old Testament have been rejected by these rabbinical Judaism, especially by the Kabbalah and the Zohar stuff that is there. But going on with this article, they said Soviet ideologists spent decades trying to engineer what they called the new Soviet man, a theoretical ideal of a uniform, selfless citizen who would completely dissolve their individual desires, beliefs, and identity into one collective entity arriving for the common good. George Orwell saw one of the vices of collectivism in making everyone the same.
Starting point is 01:53:48 and it is the very same concept that is being actively criticized by Republicans today as a totalitarian manifesto of communism. But maybe they just don't realize that they have adopted these symbols. They just cluelessly adopt the red coloring, the red maga caps and all the rest of the stuff. They cluelessly allowed that label to be put on them. And when I interviewed Shee Van Fleet, who grew up in Mao's China, And she wrote, wrote a great book, Mowles America, a warning from a survivor, right? Or survivor's warning, I think is a subtitle. And she said, when she came here, she couldn't believe that all these conservatives are wearing red.
Starting point is 01:54:32 Well, they had that color assigned to them by the mainstream media and the powers that be, and they just naively went along with it. Everywhere else, red is the color of communism. And everywhere else, in every other language, MAGA is the terminology. for the occult. I mean, over and over again, in Egypt, the Egyptian crocodile was called Maga, but you've got in Persian and Greek and Latin, Maga meant the occult. And these people have just embraced that, absolutely clueless even about the symbols that embrace.
Starting point is 01:55:06 So how would you expect that they have any discernment about Donald Trump either? Altman admitted that they trained their AI models to be like the collective of all humanity, like the Soviet man. Instead of amplifying unique human perspectives or protecting an individual thought, the core goal of leading AI development seems to be building a machine that represents the mathematical average of everyone at once, not highlighting individualism, but eroding it, and also controlling and centralizing information, and being able to say, this is what is true because the AI model says it.
Starting point is 01:55:46 And let me tell you, this is going to be the way that younger generations will grow up. This is one of the reasons why Melania is pushing so hard to put AI into education. She calls it AI literacy, but it's anything but AI generates illiteracy. It kills critical thinking. It builds this idea, unlike what RFK Jr said. He said, well, it'll be great when we get AI here because now we won't have to worry about these experts like Fauci. No, it'll be people like Fauci. he'll be programming.
Starting point is 01:56:17 They'll be putting his values in. They pay a lot of money, well, not individually, but they do spend a lot of money collectively to have people in third world countries build the bias into the AI that they want built in. And you can see this when you start to ask it questions
Starting point is 01:56:32 when it first comes out and maybe you get some answers that they don't want you to get and within a couple of days they have changed it. This is not coming from the AI itself. This is coming from the people who build the AI. The AI models by design always favor strict neutrality and say they have highly balanced answers.
Starting point is 01:56:52 Even if that was true, they want to avoid taking a strong ideological stance on something. And so what they're doing is they're automatically forcing a framework of mutual understanding and polite compromise, which we don't want, right? We want dangerous liberty. And yet there is, that is on the surface. underneath it, there is a real agenda, but it's put forward as if there is already a settled consensus on every single issue. This forced neutrality and conformity has a dangerous dark side to it by constantly pushing users toward safe, mass-approved middle ground. Already, you know, people will
Starting point is 01:57:35 look at something, like 9-11, for example. They'll look at it and say, well, how didn't that happen? I don't see how that could have happened. And yet, because you have a consensus report that's put out there, whether it's by mainstream media or the government or anybody who pushes back against it, just like the magic bullet theory of the JFK assassination, the FBI comes up of this term conspiracy theorist. And so you don't want to be somebody wearing a tinfoil hat. So, yeah, I won't buck that system. And if you're professional, they punish you. AI slowly rewires your individual reasoning patterns and causes you to adopt a safer, collect, intellectual framework and a common morality shared by the majority.
Starting point is 01:58:19 How many times have we seen that? Especially in 2020. You know, it's kind of interesting, isn't it, too? When you go back and look at Patrick McGuwen's the village, the prisoner, you know, inside the village, one of the things that they would criticize you for is speaking out or thinking independently, they would call you unmutual. So you have to be mutual about all this stuff. That is one of the things that AI is going to be training people to be mutual.
Starting point is 01:58:47 If one relies on AI to right, think, and make decisions, it is incredibly convenient and tempting and modern, fast-paced society to do that. An individual descent is softly phased out in terms of a group consensus. That kind of acclamation to a simulation, I guess I should say, into a Borg collective that we saw in 2020, and it's been very difficult for people to get out of that. If you saw what was happening, many people would say, well, I guess I'm the only one who sees that.
Starting point is 01:59:21 I'm the only one who thinks that. They want you to believe that. They want you to fall in line. Trump and his conservative base use anti-communist rhetoric talking about a socialist takeover, and yet that is the absolute core of what they're doing, which is why I reject the Republican Party as well as the Democrat Party. They're both
Starting point is 01:59:41 commonists taking us into this situation. Well, that's all the time we have for today. Make sure you join us tomorrow. We're going to talk about food and how you can get some independence and how you can also make connections in your community. Thank you for joining us. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
Starting point is 02:00:17 Their commons project to make sure the common core. 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.
Starting point is 02:00:50 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.
