You know, world of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the david night show as the clock strikes 13 it's tuesday the 19th of august year of our lord 2025 well today we're going to take a look at the e u war mongers who made a trip to the oval office and you can see them all lined up and pushing for war will they push us into another World War III. We're going to take a look at what is being rumored, because that's all we've got right now, is wars and rumors of wars.

Maybe we've got a little bit of rumors of peace as well. We've also got some important news that we're going to begin with about chemotherapy. And so stay tuned for that. And as we look at AI, even Sam Altman says that AI is a bubble, like the dot-com bubble. How long have I been saying that?

And we also now have the perfect metaphor for understanding AI and how we perceive it. Stay with us. We'll be right back. We had a little bit different arrangement there for a moment of the music. But seriously, I want to talk about something I think is such a sad story, a story that affects so many of us as we interact with the so-called health care system. You look at the junction of pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, and big medicine, hospitals, and the like. And this is the kind of tragedy you get out of it.

A Kansas woman suffering from cancer is opening up a roadside stand to try to sell some baked goods and things like that so she can get her cancer treatment. Her chemo is going to cost $10,000 per month. Per month. Isn't that amazing? It's just an amazing example of greed and of really false hope that they've given her as well as, you know, we're your only hope. And that's the saddest thing about it. Of course, as you're going to state, but the article starts out with, the insurance won't cover it. They're just using.

That's right. Yeah, they won't cover it. But, you know, the insurance company is the very reason why this stuff is so expensive. It's when I was talking to John Richardson, you know. It's like, yeah, of course. They want to bid the prices up because then that gets you to, that's an incentive for you get insurance because otherwise you're not going to be able to pay to get your chemotherapy. And then they deny you.

And I've known people like that as well. When we were in North Carolina, a friend of ours who had cancer. And the treatment they wanted to get from the doctors, they would not pay for it. And they dropped him. It was Blue Cross Blue Shield. It really makes it obvious. So many people were like, how could Luigi Mangione do what he did? Just like, well, I wonder why.

That's not a solution, but I understand the anger that he has there, right? I'm not trying to condone it, but I'm saying I absolutely understand why he was so furious. I'm more confused as to how we haven't seen more of it. Again, not to condone or suggest it. But that's why people were condoning it, why people were cheering it, because the frustration we have at this. this corrupt system. It is so incredibly corrupt. They had already given her a double mastectomy. She has breast cancer. And then a few months ago, it came back. Now, our cancer is considered to be terminal spreading throughout from the initial tumor. She says she feels more fatigue

and pain in her day-day life. She can't work her previous job. So now she's trying to do baked goods and sell them on the side of the road like a lemonade stand. She said the medication will literally save my life. It won't. And that's the saddest thing about it. You know, when you look at this, there are things out there. You know, there's, there's, we've got a very long history of B-17 and apricot seeds and, sorry, not apricot seeds. It's, uh, anyway, B-17. You take a look at that at R andcstores.com. And, uh, you can even get a discount off of you use a code from this show night. I'm not telling you this to make money. We don't make big bucks like this. We're getting the kind of money that the hospitals and chemical people do. But the bottom line

is, if nothing else, get the book. I hope you downloaded the free PDF from G. Edward Griffin last week. And of course, you can also get the paperback book. I prefer to read things in paperback. But the saddest thing is, I've seen this over and over again with friends they won't try something that is not harmful uh something that is cheap that doesn't have any appeal to them right it doesn't have the medical community the people white coats backing it up uh i would just encourage you not to be that way it always reminds me of the story of the uh assyrian commander who's got leprosy and he comes to um what israel to get was it Elijah or Lysha?

I always get the two of them confused. Anyway, he comes to him to get cured and he says, go dip seven times in the Jordan. He goes, that's a muddy river. We've got cleaner water than that. That's the best you can do. That's gross. I'm not doing that.

Well, we're not talking about being healed by faith here, but don't put all your faith in something that you've seen fail over and over again. So she's now running a roadside bakery, selling baked goods as well as clothing and coffee mugs. She said, since I'm no longer able to do a full-time job, I focus what energy I have on doing this to try to come up with $10,000. Her husband, Adam, says that while he works in a factory, his wife works even harder to save her own life. They're trying to stay positive and enjoy the time they have together. It's just so sad to see people take advantage of like this.

And that's really what's going on. It's just being taken advantage of. It's such an amazing grift. And then we talk about things that are harmful versus things that are not harmful. A new study out of Russia has come out, talking about permanent brain damage that chemo does to you. Many people complain of chemo fog and brain fog that they get after chemotherapy. They look at breast cancer.

patients, just like this lady here. And they found that right away, it shrinks the brain. But even more amazing, they found that after three years, it had shrunken even more. So the damage doesn't stop. It continues to go. It's like an MRI vaccine. And it continues to shrink your brain. So I said, the reason that people are getting fog was always dismissed by the doctors. They said, oh, that's just psychological, right? Just like they tell people about the vaccines. I know we're injecting you with poison and it's destroying your body, but that's a psychological effect. It's talking about the ultimate cynical gaslighting for greed. It's just amazing. About 80% of breast cancer patients deal with chemo brain. Doctors say psychological, but research now shows that it physically shrinks

your brain. And some areas of the brain that are part of your balance and coordination, the cerebellum, was particularly effective, affected, rather. They said 42% of women reported walking problems. 31% dealt with dizziness. Areas controlling memory, attention, and decision-making also showed major shrinkage. They said when they looked at these ladies after three years, they said that, again, it continued to shrink, and they had lost about 90 cubic centimeters of brain over three years because of this chemotherapy. White matter, which connects different brain regions, also suffered serious damage.

This explains why patients struggle with multitasking and thinking quickly. Their brains literally can't communicate between regions as efficiently anymore. And it's always, you know, when you look at the greed, people who are motivated by the love of money, it's not surprising that they do more harm than good. Some brain regions continue to shrink as well. You know, I've said this for a long time. I said, eventually, people are going to look back at chemotherapy as we look back on the bleeding of people with leeches, right?

You're going to see it as barbaric and ignorant, and that's exactly what it is. How many times do you have to keep doing the same thing and expect different results, right? They were injecting people with this stuff? They thought it was helping to fight cancer. It was just amazing. Just amazing.

So the brain scans backed up all these different complaints about chemo brain. They point out in this article, you know, cancer doesn't just randomly appear. Chronic inflammation sets a stage for all this stuff. And if you want to know more about it, again, get the book, G. Edward Griffin's book, A World Without Cancer. So you can find that at rncstores.com. Educate yourself because you're going to get nothing but lies from these people who want to take all of your money. They have no conscience. The whole cancer treatment paradigm is questionable.

So get real food, get real nutrition, and there are things that you can find that are cheap and effective. You know, the B-17 that they sell in R&C stores has been very effective. We've got a lot of anecdotes about it. it. And as I said, I don't discount studies completely. I just look at them if they have, if it's a study that's being done by the company that's going to benefit from it. You have to look at the study and say, who benefits from this? Turns out our product is completely and utterly safe. No side effects. As I've reported many times, you have examples of competing drugs for the same condition done by multiple drug companies. Each of them runs their own study and each of the

studies shows that they're better than brand X and Y. So, you know, when you look at the studies, think about that. If it's a study that doesn't have an obvious benefit to the person running the study, then pay attention to it. But other than that, just understand that they can cherry pick the data, and we've seen this over and over again to get exactly what they want. So anecdotes make a big difference to me, and that's one of the reasons why when we look at something, I know that G. Edward Griffin is honest and he does good research, and you should take a look at what he has to say about this. When it comes to the medical industry, I always remember the old commercials. Nine out of ten doctors prefer camels, cigarettes. Yeah, they prefer to get rich, too,

nine and ten doctors. When you go back and look at different things, in other words, getting inflammation down, reducing chemical exposure, how could we do that effectively? Maybe we could get the fluoride out of the water. But, of course, the Trump Department of Justice is appealing the decision that would get fluoride out of the water effectively. And I don't see RFK Jr. pushing against that or the people in Maha. As a matter of fact, he's gone silent about pesticides and our food supply. And that is happening as the people in Congress are working on trying to give immunity to the pesticide companies just as they've done to the vaccine companies. Well, before we take a break, you mentioned the cigarette stuff.

This is a very interesting story about Philip Morris pushing cigarettes as a way to help their government save money. This happened decades ago. In fact, in 2001, Philip Morris secretly presented a report to the Czech government telling them that encouraging smoking in the country would help them grow economically. The argument they made was that smoking is deadly, and therefore, if the government encouraged smoking, people would die earlier, which would save them money since they wouldn't have to pay out their old age pensions or support them with old age medical care, plus they

would make extra revenue from the tax on cigarettes. In summary, the report said that encouraging smoking could help the Czech government save $147 million a year. It's unknown what the Czech government did with this report, but it soon leaked to the public and triggered a global outrage. Philip Morris tried to downplay the incident saying the report was commissioned by their Czech division and had nothing to do with the head office,

but then it came out that similar studies had been commissioned in countries all over the world, like Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. They're just looking for a light check. ...to inject to the study and issue a public apology. Yeah, that's it. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and talk about another issue of life and death,

and that is what's going on in Ukraine. We'll be right back. Stay with us. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Eagles, on a dark desert highway, the cars, and Huey Lewis in the news. They say the horror rock and roll is to be it. You'll love the classic hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSRadio.com. Welcome back, folks.

I said we've got some comments here. B.L. Houghton says two of my family members had cancer and chemo made their lives miserable and did not cure them. They said they would not do it again if they had the chance. I've mentioned it before the first dose of chemo killed my father he went into a coma and never came out of it yeah and I've heard so many stories of people

from who had chemotherapy saying oh I would never do it again I think that seems to be the general consensus from a lot of people you want to do something right you feel like there's got to be something I can do but you have to look at it I remember when there was a debate

about nationalizing health care with Hillary Clinton. And I went to this, it was a Democrat district, and everybody that was there were Democrats except for me. So they're all yelling, we've got to do something. The system stinks. And it's like, yeah, I agree with you. But you might want to take a look before you throw that bucket of liquid onto the fire

to see if it's gasoline or not. You know, that's the key issue. I'm doing something. I don't know what it is, but I'm doing something. Knights of the Storm, good to see you, Jason. Hope you're doing well. You can find their broadcast at nights of the storm.com says if they drop you to avoid paying, then they should refund all premiums paid in and adjusted for inflation with interest.

Yeah, that would be at least a start for insurance companies because they've got no, they've got no consequences. You pay in, they drop you, and then they get to keep on. But look at how connected they are to government. You know, just you're required to get all kinds of you're required to get car. insurance. Banks require you if you have a loan to get, you know, insurance. Of course, you don't want to have that. But, you know, you're basically, they're twisting your arm. That's what the Obamacare stuff is all about, was forcing you to get insurance. The insurance

companies wanted Obamacare. So it's another one of these fascist industries over there. Opasim King says AI Trump's C. Cure cancer. Trump said so. Well, if he said so, I trust him. He's a trustworthy guy. Trust the point. I thought it was like sugar water But now it turns out it's like a cancer cure Can we take a little bit of a cancer cure for Trump? Absolutely Grandpa 68 says my ex had cancer

And was on chemo And got pneumonia and it killed her She's one of those who trusted the science There's many such cases sadly Maluton Malankovic You can increase brain volume With exercise and mindful meditation You also have to manage your stress

Or else it keeps shrinking Not easy in today's times I don't know how you even manage stress anymore Yeah, that's right. You know, getting alkaline and getting rid of cancer, which feeds the cancer cells, that's another thing that helps, too. I should mention that. And, you know, that may be a big factor in the B-17 stuff.

It's, again, you go to RNC Store.com if you want to get yourself some B-17. There's a promo code night, and you can see if any of those products or things that would be helpful for you with your health. The Minuteman Malicious says, this is about the woman with the chemo or that needs $10,000. a month for the drugs. So I wonder if she has a give, send, go, set up, or a go-fun-me. I'm going back looking at that. I didn't see it in the article myself. I didn't either.

Her name is Jennifer Gordy, G-O-R-D-Y. You might... And she's in Kansas. I believe the article is out of Wichita, Kansas. I don't know if that's where she is in Kansas. They didn't specify in the article, but that's where the news outlet was from. So it could be. Kansas, they say, it's the name of the star, right?

As the Munchkin said. Yeah, well, let's talk a little bit. about Ukraine. You know, it was, it was funny to see the pictures where you've got all the usual suspects in the lineup, except this time they're standing down as the standing up in front of a wall that's got their heights mark there. That would have been kind of embarrassing for Zelwinsky, I think. Maybe back wrong as well. But anyway, the question is, are they going to drag us into another World War III? These people are determined that they are going to go to war with Putin. And if you go back,

And look at the history of all of this. Just remember when you had George Soros talking about the color revolution there in Ukraine. You want to know how this whole thing began? George Soros, pleasure to have you on. Same here. First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you, during the revolutions of 1989, funded a lot of dissident activity, civil society groups in Eastern Europe and Poland,

the Czech Republic are you doing similar things in Ukraine well I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia and the foundation has been functioning ever since and played an important part in events now do you think Ukraine will be able to assert a kind of independence from Russia and an alignment with the West not but not a specific alignment as a NATO, but a kind of orientation toward the West, or will the Russians always stop them? No, Putin will try to destabilize Ukraine. The foundation has been functioning ever since, and it played an important part in events now. That's an important thing to keep in mind, just who was behind this in the first place, and how recently Ukraine was, uh, uh, uh,

was birthed. We used to always talk about it as the Ukraine because it was an area of Russia. It wasn't an independent country. That was a big deal of the beginning, breaking people from saying the Ukraine because everybody had referred to it that way for the longest time. And of course, you can also, if you look on the internet, you can find pictures of the maiden revolution. We had the big square filled with people who were holding up their cell phones with lights and a picture showing John McCain there with Victoria Newland. Okay, you want to talk about the warfare state here in America? There you go.

John McCain was the real ghost of Kiev. Yeah. The only person missing was Lindsey Graham. But McCain is there at the window taking pictures of, you know, all the people in the square and everything. That was his life cause. Just think about that. You know, creating wars that are going to kill untold numbers of people. just incredible and yet gone on to his reward yes the the interesting thing about the Putin summit

according to Trump was the insight or maybe the reminder that the mail-in ballot fraud had cost him the election that's basically what he wanted to talk about and he's now said that he's launched a movement to get rid of that kind of voting I hope he succeeds I think it's an awful thing I thought it was an awful thing. When Trump did it, he was hoisted by his own partard, actually. And when you understand the fear and the panic that was behind all of that, it was a full court propaganda piece. You know, we talk about what they do with cancer. But just as a reminder, here's a COVID-PSA public service announcement from an actress who had the authority to speak

on this because she had played a doctor in the movie Contagion, which was a sci-op piece of ever the was one. In the movie Contagion, I played a scientist who helped discover a vaccine for a hypothetical virus, but COVID-19 is very real, and it is spreading all over and it every day. The scientists who helped me prepare for that movie want us all to know some things that will help keep us safe. First, this is not a Chinese virus or a virus that has no effect on the young and healthy. It is what they call a novel virus, and that means.

means our immune systems have never seen it before. So until we have a treatment or a vaccine, every single, one of us, regardless of age or ethnicity, is at risk of getting it. Be afraid. If you're anything like me. Be very afraid. How long will a vaccine take? Scientists say, anywhere from 16 to 18 months, and scientists and doctors are the people we need to be listening to right now. They are the experts.

And that means tuning out the voices with other agendas, no matter how powerful. they might be. So why does it take some? And if you can't tune them out, you can ban them off of social media and other platforms. I can speak from experience on that. They spent $250 million in the Trump administration. That was more than the ad council had ever spent on any campaign, more than Smoky the Bear, more than this is your brain on drugs. Trust the experts that have a financial incentive to sell this to you. Don't, you know, trust anyone else. That's right. I see stuff like that.

This is what I'm reminded of. I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV. We heard that over and over again in my generation. It became a meme, a joke. That was before we had social media, we had commercials that would replay that kind of sense. That's still something I referenced to this day. Having never grown up of those commercials, it's still pervasive, at least for me.

I'm not a doctor, but I play one. I'm not a scientist, but I played one in a movie, and I'm telling you, you got to lock down. And it was Trump locking everybody down that caused that issue with the mail-in ballots. He was the one who did it. And now he pretends that he is the victim of what he perpetrated on the rest of us. That's the amazing thing. Well, we did have Zelensky made a real effort to not get off on a bad foot like he had done before.

And there were signs in Washington. Hey, bro, wear a suit. And he almost got there. He wore a black t-shirt with a black jacket this time. So it was a little bit better. I guess we should remind him of the David Night Show t-shirts. But he wasn't wearing a David Night Show t-shirt. He did wear kind of a quasi-suit.

We're wearing a David Night Show t-shirt to meet Trump would probably be a bad idea. Especially if he looked it up. Yeah, I'm sure I'm not on his shortlist radar. Who is this guy? He doesn't like me. I don't like him. Yeah. I would, yeah, that would be interesting to have him watch one of my shows.

I'd like to see his reaction with a hidden camera. But it's not just what is happening there. As I said yesterday, there was video that surfaced of a Russian tank. It was going into battle flying a Russian flag and an American flag. And so I thought this is kind of funny. But Trump was caught on a hot mic whispering to Macron. He says, I think Putin wants to make a deal. I think he wants to do it for me.

It's all about him. Everything is all about him, isn't it? You know, all of the lockdowns. He likes me. He really likes me. All the lockdowns were really about him. But anyway, the, when we look at this, my take on all this is that Trump keeps insisting that we don't need anybody else in the world. I think, you know, I would agree with that.

I'm far more isolationist, actually, than Trump and Maka are. it says we don't need this stuff so we'll put tariffs on it and we're not going to let any of your goods come in okay fine if we don't need them why do we need them economically why do we need them militarily

let's get rid of NATO that keeps dragging us into European wars and world wars and of course NATO didn't exist when we got into the first two wars but it was that same kind of alliance that same kind of thinking and NATO was designed

to drag us into a third world war with trip points and Article 5 obligations that would drag us into any kind of a conflict that happened. So just get out of NATO. Isn't it interesting that Trump has gone silent about that at this point in time? You know, he started talking about getting out of NATO in his first term, and many of us were hopeful that maybe he really would do it. But looking back on it, I think the purpose of that, was, as I said before, I think that Trump is a shill for the globalist elite.

And I think the purpose of all that talk about NATO was just to get Europe to start ramping up their military, which they had stopped spending money on. And I would say mission accomplished, just take a look at Germany, the massive amount of money that they're going into debt for. I mean, like one person called it a Keynesian military expansion. We don't have money, but we're going to dump it. into the military industrial complex, and we're going to rearm Germany. That's what Trump's talk about getting out of NATO was designed to do, and that's really all that it accomplished.

We do have some comments before we move on to the next article. Yeah, go ahead. Shee B. 5, thank you very much for the tip. That's very kind of. He says, nice to see you back, David. Isn't it great to have him back in studio? It's nice to be back. It really is.

Thank you. Thank you for all your support, and thank you for the encouragement and prayers. We've had many, many kind. emails that have been sent to us about that. So, yes. And then Grandpa 68, talking about the actor, pushing the Vax.

I want to tune these people out forever. That would be nice, but they force them on you. There's no safe place anymore. No matter where you are on the internet, they're going to find you and push this kind of nonsense. Sam Miller,

one, two, three. Good to see you. Sam. I hope you're doing well. And these people that are recommending the shot are not doctors, just stockholders and best friends with big pharma.

Well, everybody needs a friend. Yeah. Shabee 5 You've got a friend in me And you got an investment In me as well Shabee 5 Evil dictator cosplay

Except it's not really Cosplay at this point They dropped the acting Unfortunately And Tunnel Lord 1337 Good to see you This is about Soros

He says LOL why didn't the interviewer Ask what rights Soros Had messing with another country's politics Well everyone just assumes Soros has the right at this point Well everyone assumes that

If you're in America you've got a right to interfere with anybody's politics because it's a long-sane tradition out this point, I guess. Well, Zelensky got to the White House, and the first thing he did was he imitated what Melania had done giving a letter to Putin about that. Please, let's have peace for the children. As I pointed out yesterday, she's not giving letters like that to Netanyahu, but Zelensky had a letter from his wife, evidently written by.

here, I'm sure it was. Maybe somebody should have a handwriting analysis to see it. That really matches up. But he gave that to a Trump same type of thing. Both sides are now saying they want peace. All I can imagine is the note just says, do you like my French villa? It's on the Riviera. Yeah, that's right. So, yeah, they both want peace. The problem is they both spell peace with an eye. And it's all for land and it's all for ego. So, um, they, they both spell peace with an eye. And it's all for ego. So the leaders agree that Trump should tell Putin what they had decided, says the Finnish president. So you give Putin a message from us. It's war. I think you could see that from the push by NATO into Ukraine and all the rest of things. This is a longstanding move of passive

aggressive behavior. EU is preparing the 19th round of Russian sanctions as Zelensky meets Trump. I guess the old adage applies here again. You know, you keep doing the same thing, expecting different results. And sanctions, I would just remind you, are themselves an act of war. You know, it's like the siege or starvation things that we see going on in Gaza. But sanctions essentially are like a siege. And siege is an act of war. If you surround the castle and you cut off their food supplies and the water supplies, that's an act of war. Even if you're a act of war, even if you're you don't launch any missiles at the castle. But anyway, that shows that their posture remains fully on for war.

Trump is saying that he has started talks already to try to get Putin Zelensky and himself altogether for talks. Look, I hope it works, whether it massages his ego or whatever else happens with this stuff. There's nothing to be gained at this point. There's no good guys in any of this stuff. Putin's not a good guy. Zelensky is definitely not a good guy, and you can take a look at what both of them are doing to their own countrymen and have done to their own countrymen, and how this is really not even so much geopolitics as it is ego politics. I just hope they stop killing people

for their land, for their purposes, for lines on a map. Trump paused a meeting with Zelensky and other European leaders to call Putin, according to a person familiar with the talk. who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Trump said that he was meeting with European leaders, and it was good, and he began the arrangements for meeting at a location to be determined between Putin and Zelensky. This came after he pledged a lot of help to Ukraine. If he would stop helping Ukraine to wage war, that would be pressure for peace. Now, it's kind of interesting to look at this article from the Atlantic, and Thomas Wright,

who is a former military industrial complex official with the Biden administration. He says, the only plausible path to end the war in Ukraine, can you guess what he's saying? He's not talking about anything other than escalation and more of the same policies that we saw with Biden. What a surprise. He says the land swap on its own would be impossible to sell to the Ukrainians. I don't think so. It might be impossible to sell to Zelensky because he wants to. wants to keep this thing going. But the Ukrainians have lost their taste for this nonsense. At the

beginning of it, when Russia escalated into a hot war, it was about 80-20 to fight. Now it's 80-20 to stop fighting. That's the mood of the Ukrainians at this point in time. Europeans believe that they will need more time to figure out the details and see if there's a viable way forward. They're stalling because they want to continue this thing. This is a continent. of endless and needless wars it hasn't changed since the time of george washington when he spoke about entangling alliances what he was talking about was europe and that's exactly what nato is it is an entangling alliance and we need to get out of these alliances that get us involved into war the only reason we're in this is because the people making money in the military industrial complex

So in this Atlantic article, he says, so this is where the American backstop comes in. The idea is that if European forces are attacked, the U.S. would come to their aid, but it's not clear what that means. If Europe has committed to defend Ukraine in the event of an invasion, then a U.S. backstop would mean that America would join it in fighting Russia, albeit possibly just with air power. That comes very close to a NATO Article 5 guarantee. Whitkoff suggested that the administration is looking at such a guarantee outside of the NATO context, but it is very hard to imagine that Trump will be on board with that. Well, they floated that information that's out there. The concern is that various sources are, again, everything is at the rumor stage right now,

wars and rumors of wars. And the rumors that are out there, as Guard pointed out on his Sunday news, broadcast he's got his, if you don't sign up for that, on substack, you should. Guard does a great job, Liberty Conspiracy, of going through and picking up stuff. And he picked up on people talking about, well, maybe what that means is stationing U.S. peacekeeping troops there. That's exactly what we need, isn't it? More American military stations somewhere so we can be drug into a war. The only credible guarantee for Ukraine, in current circumstances is a national one says the NATO propaganda outlet the Atlantic and this guy Thomas

Wright senior fellow now at the Brickings Institute a left-wing status think tank he served as senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council does he have the credibility to get anybody to publish his stuff I don't know but it tells you something about the Atlantic the Atlantic has been a mouthpiece for NATO and it has been And NATO, if you'll remember, has been one of the leading advocates of censorship. Because, again, the truth and news is the first thing to go in war. And so that's what they have been postured for. Putin hopes to convince Trump that it is Zelensky who stands in the way of peace.

Well, I think he does. I think that is pretty clear. That's exactly what he wants. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Stay with us. Trying to find the t-shirt ad here. It's been a while since I've been here, but I can't find it.

Hello, it's me, Volodymer Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions, I've skimmed off America. I could dress better. And I could, if only David Knight, would send me one of his beautiful gray McGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost.

Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gala and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and noise. missiles coming from the USA.

Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to hear it in your pot. You'll owe nothing. And be happy. Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm.

Oh, nothing. Be happy. You can't even buy shit in the store. Because of your low social credit score. O'n nothing. Be happy. You'll own nothing. And be happy.

Be happy and eat the bugs. Yeah, that's, yeah. They talk about, uh the plan they have for us um we got some comments here trump yes we do cole 360 says russia has a cancer vaccine russia vaccine after covid vaccine issues hmm very interesting i don't trust any vaccine no matter who creates it well i think trump's a vaccine is a cancer vaccine turbo cancer vaccine it would give it to you so uh yeah it uh the opposite from what they say Doug Dugda, 007, good to see you.

He says, what happened to that Animaniac's clip? Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid. You mean this one? Be afraid. Be very afraid. Yeah, that's one of our evergreens. I should remember to play that thing from time to time. It's a classic.

Yeah, yeah. And Cabo's 888, are you sure Zolensky's wife's letter was not to ask for more money to stock her closet? Yeah, it could be that too. What do you think of this? dress. Maybe she's asking where Melania shops, yeah. I really like that hat she has. Do you like the French Riviera, too? Or you're more of a rodeo

drive kind of gal. Solo Cat 1980, Actors. It's an acronym, she says. Agenda, controlled tools obediently reciting scripts. That fits pretty well. That's good. That's a good acronym for them. Well,

Cambridge Dictionary says there's 6,000 new words they've just put into their English language dictionary this year. Most of it slang that came out of social media. So we're going to give you a little bit of a quiz here, Travis. See if you know what these are. Do you know what it means when they say somebody is Dululu?

I think it means something like delusional? Yeah, it was kind of like, I should have, I wish I'd known that. I could have called Lala Doolulu. I would have fit. How about Skibitty? Have you ever heard of that? Skibbitty. I know it originates, I think, I think it originates from this series of videos on YouTube, a skibbitty toilet.

There's too much lore going on there for me to effectively break down, but I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from, and I don't exactly know what it means, or if it's just simply the denominator for that series. Yeah, it's kind of a nonsense word, they say, creative of a viral animated series of videos on YouTube, so that's probably what you're referring. to but it can be used to describe something or just to um it could be cool it could be bad or it can have no meaning at all and just be used as a joke as a as an adverb or something so basically it doesn't really mean i wonder what they do in the dictionary with that uh how about this one luke l-e-w-k luke what does that mean no don't know that one it's a particular fashion look that's unique to the wearer, you know, kind of like as Lindy's, Army Green T-shirts or something,

that says Luke, L-E-W-K. Well. Yeah, as in look, right? I'm glad we're adding more words that say exactly the same thing as words we already had. Yeah, very close to it as well. And then we have the one that we're going to talk a little bit about, which is tradwife.

How would you define a tradwife? A grifter on Twitter. That's exactly it. You know, it is an influencer who's tried to hook into this kind of stuff. But there are some people who think that it's, you know, they look at these trad wives who are into cosplay. They dress up like their Lucille Ball in her sitcom in the 1950s. And they're all about the look, right?

It's all about cosplay. The trad wife apocalypse recently actually hit Twitter. One of them got married and they don't like to. see other trad wives win so yeah are you talking about Lauren Southern uh I'm Lauren Southern may have been involved but there was four or five different trad wife grifters on Twitter one of them posted a picture of her ring saying you know I got engaged or I won or something like that and it brought out the knives all of them just airing out all the dirty laundry for every single one of them and it was horrifying just completely wow well you know it's not

just about trying to set up a family these times. And that's not the tradition that they're doing. The tradition that they're doing is the 1950s look, which is really more of a, it was kind of a fantasy that was sold to us by Madison Avenue, you know, the woman who's all dressed up and in high heels and she's mopping her floor. So that was always a fantasy. Even in the 1950s, people were laughing, that kind of stuff. But now they're doing that on social media. Southern who got a lot of exposure with documentaries about the attacks by the Marxist on white farmers in South Africa. And of course, the left tagged her as a racist, just like they tagged me as a racist for reporting on that. But she dropped out of the new stuff and then

became, got married, moved to Australia, and started doing trad wife, influenced stuff. And then her marriage fell apart for some reason. And now she's written a book, Trashing Tradwives. They became kind of this avatar of a cultural movement or something that never was any reality to it, never was any substance, never was a genuine tradition. Yeah, yeah. So now they've created this, the straw man out there, or straw wife, if you will. So now they're taking that apart and trying to attack.

what they think are traditional values. Fun fact about Lauren Southern is she, I don't know if she had an affair, but she had a sexual relationship with the extremely liberal streamer, Destiny. Destiny is the guy that said, good, that guy that got shot at the Trump rally and died protecting his family, good, I wish more of them had happened to it. This is a despicable human being. He also made a joke about the kids that died during the flood in Texas. This guy is an utterly despicable human piece of trash.

This is who Lawrence Southern decided to have a intimate relationship with. She has no principle. She has no values. Well, she's making it out as if it is 100% her husband's fault. She's written a book now. This is not real life. Well, that's actually true. And it's not real tradition either.

As I said before, it's something that she made up. Now this book is her bid to return to her career. and the left is more than happy to give her all kinds of attention. Former anti-feminist influencer, Lauren Southern, has now come out attacking traditional marriage. And the reality is, is that when you look at traditional marriage, it really does require, I think, for it to work well. It does require that it's not just a horizontal relationship, but both of you need to be connected to God. and understand where you stand before him. Without that, it's very difficult to have a marriage.

It's not impossible, but it's very difficult. Conservative ideology, colliding with reality, she said. And so this is a piece on the Tribune, and this is written by somebody coming from the left, and she's looking at this and saying, you know, I was sold a bill of goods from the left, and she was sold to bill of goods from the right. And maybe we need to pull back and take a look at how women are being manipulated

with these different things. Well, guess what? You're still being manipulated. She said, posting images online of her domestic life. However, she writes that the reality was marked by near total isolation, an increasing contempt from her husband. She responded to his criticism by trying to be an even better wife, I'm sure, don't you think? Oh, yeah, I trust Lauren Southern. Engaging in the extensive domestic work and presenting herself in high heels and dresses to welcome him home and presenting herself on social media that way. Lots of cosplay. That's really what's going on with the Tradwife stuff. When she traveled to Canada to visit her family against his wishes, she writes that he ended the marriage. Southern says that she had given much of her savings to her

husband, leaving her to live with her parents later in a small cabin with her son. So she described this period as one of financial hardship and ideological awakening. this there. And she had this interview with Mary Harrington saying how my trad life turned toxic. It might have been toxic from the very beginning if it was about trying to still be an influencer. Does promoting marriage and motherhood inevitably make women easy targets for subordinate status? This is what the woman on the left, Mary Harrington, who wrote about this, that's her take on it. And that's how they will use this. She said,

our stories are similar in many respects. Both of us embraced radical politics in our early 20s. Me on the left, Southern on the right, both of us embraced ideologies that felt inspiring in the free-floating world of the Internet. Again, they were both in love with the secular fantasies that were being sold, whether they were coming from the left or right. That was the thing that they had in common. Said, the Tried Wife is not all 50s, pinafores, and cute cupcakes.

Well, that's exactly what these people have done. They need to get real about it. That's the key thing. There's no reality that's there. There's no authenticity of it. And there's no connection with God that would make this meaningful. You have to understand. Step back and ask yourself, what is the purpose of marriage?

And they never did that. To them, it's all about the superficial stuff. To them, these things are the end goal. But in reality, these things were a side effect of the culture that was present. That's right. If you aim at these things, they are empty and meaningless,

but when they flow forth as a, you know, as I said, a side effect of who you truly are as a person and the culture that surrounds you, then they become meaningful. Yeah. But if you're simply there, oh, I'm going to be a trad wife

and I'm going to bake cookies all day. Yeah. Who cares? I think the trad wife thing is cosplaying as, you know, a loving family, happy marriage thing. when that is, as you say, a side effect of a relationship with God.

Yeah. They're looking at the fruit of all that stuff that they've seen, as you guys are saying, and they have no root to produce any of that kind of fruit. So this woman says, well, first of all, she's trying to be even-handed. She said, this is not a matter of the right, being uniquely toxic for women.

Rather, it's the purest ideologies as such that map at best uneasily onto practical reality. of life as a woman and especially as a mother? Did they realize that they're being sold a marketing scheme when they're pushed into the workplace as well? Again, you need to step back and take a look at what is real. She said, secondly, the simplifying polarizing incentives that are baked into the contemporary Internet

are increasingly warping the ideologies of both left and right into such extreme forms that any sincere effort to apply these in real life will almost inevitably be the stuff of nightmares. Again, keep going back to real. There's no reality there. This is, again, the Internet. These are influencers. You know, God created and defined marriage, and it's a good thing.

You know, one of the things that he did when he gave Adam Eve, he says, it's not good for a man to be alone. Well, it's not good for a woman to be alone either. Unfortunately, this didn't work for her, but it's no surprise that didn't because God was left out of the equation. And there was an interesting op-ed piece by J.D. Hall, who has a substack called Insight to Insight, Insight, On Insight, rather. And he spells Insight two different ways. The first one, I-N-S-I-G-H-T. And the second one is Insight, as in terms of getting people to act.

And his take on it is the devil's gender war, Christian procreation and controlled opposition. and in this one he takes a look at somebody else who's doing cosplay in a very strange way and that is Nick Fuentes ah good old cat boy Nick remember when he came to enforce and uh and they booked me to interview him in the morning and fortunately I didn't know who this guy was and fortunately um I missed that and then when I learned out learned who he was I did not want to have him back on but this guy J.D. Hall said at the very offset, he said, Nick Fuentes is controlled opposition. He said Fuente's mockery of family life and his promotion of anti-human policies

are the signs of his true allegiance. He says, the fate of Western civilization Christian culture hinges on the birth rate while Nick Fuentes and an army of in-cells are convincing men that women are not worth it. So Lauren says, after her trad wife thing, says, that men are not worth it, and Nick Fuentes is there doing the same thing for the men saying that women are not worth it. Well, I mean, if you get a wife or girlfriend, chances are you've got less time to sit around and watch Nick Fuentes. Yeah. I would say maybe the issue is that maybe the two of them, maybe their advice is worthless, and you should take God's advice on all this.

Anyway, he said, I just tuned into my first Nick Fuentes webcast, and that was my conclusion after just a few short minutes. I'd heard of Fuentes for a few years at that point, thanks to my daughter, who had spent some time listening to him. Out of curiosity and late to the party, I decided to listen to see why so many were interested in his views. But my estimation of him was not positive, and not just because he's as lost as a goose in a snowstorm. Or because he excludes all the masculinity of a vegan poetry slam.

It was one of those late night, Fuente's live streams, the kind where his followers huddle in chat like moss around a porch lot. watching him slouched over talking about the world's problem and there set this right-wing boogeyman slouched over like an invertebrate unable to set up straight talking about taking back our culture from turd world colonizers while looking like someone who would wait in line for the one direction reunion tour he's basically a biped version of the throw pillow talking tough into the webcam i set amazed that anyone would listen to him me too i just don't i just don't get it he says it wasn't his appearance where he looked as soft as a cat

in a cashmere sweater cat boy it was his mocking of a father who had left a comment in the group there said he wasn't able to listen to the webcast today because he was going to be having quote family time fuentes berated him mocked him and other dads like him telling him there was no time for wives and children when Western Civilization was on the chopping block. It was a kind of revelation that shows the infection underneath. This was not harmless banter. This was an x-ray of the man's worldview. And what it showed us was rot.

The reality is that the wife and kids are Western civilization. If you don't understand that, you can't fix it. You're going to save Western civilization. For who, Nick? For who's going to be left? So Fuentes asked hysterically, Family time. What does that even mean? Are you braiding their hair? Other clips, which I've seen since, include him discussing how gay it is to be into women. That is an amazing take from me. For Fuentes, paling around with your dude friends is heterosexual greatness. Spending time with your wife or daughters conceals some kind of suppressed homosexuality because you like being with girls. Fentis has brought us such sound bites as, quote, what people are what? People calling me gay because I've never had a girlfriend? I think, if anything, if

anything, it makes me less gay. Not that there's any gay, but it makes me not gay. If we're really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman, really makes you more heterosexual because honestly, dating women is gay. I think he protested a little bit too much. Yeah. There's a, there's a cornucopia of evidence that Nick Flinty. is severely closeted. It's continual, the people he surrounds himself with, there's a guy called Catboy Cammy, who is this very homosexual streamer

that Nick brought into the fold and did streams with. There's a whole litany of sins that Nick Fuentes has committed. Oh, I'll just say, by their fruit, you'll know them, right? And he's a bit of a fruit, I guess. My estimation of him as controlled opposition, says J.D. Hall, was immediate on account of his mockery of family life. And why? Anyone with half a synapse firing knows that you don't save a civilization by sitting in a neon lit bedroom talking into a webcam. Civilizations are saved in living room and kitchens by mothers and fathers producing more sons and daughters than the enemy. You win the future in nurseries, not live streams. And you win the future, not just by producing children. I mean, that's Elon Musk's approach. And I'm sure that J.D. Hall doesn't mean that. You win the future by looking at your children's future, and that is their eternal future. You want to get them connected to God. You want to

give them a purpose for life more than just appearing on a camera or some nonsense like that. When someone says the West is dying, but then tells you to leave your jeans zipped, and he says Jeans, G-E-N-E-S. He says, until after some undefined, quote-unquote, victory, you are not hearing a strategy. You're either hearing controlled opposition from the side that wants your civilization dead, or you're listening to a profoundly stupid person. Controlled opposition is rarely that cartoon villain obvious. It is subtle.

It wears a language of your tribe. You know, when we heard stuff like, it's 5D chess. Trust the plan. You know, where's the language of your tribe? That is controlled opposition. It shares your grievances in order to earn your trust. Then it gently nudges you away from the one thing that would actually win. And in our case, it's families, babies, and lots of them.

And so he says, without births, you can kiss your flags, your traditions, your language, your freedom, goodbye. The enemies of the West grasped this like a python grasped the neck of a rabbit. They squeeze the propaganda, policy, and poison until the birth rate drops below recovery, and when ideological influencers mimic their talking points by discouraging marriage and children, the snake does not even need to hide in the grass. It's on a webcast, slouched over, flailing, limp wrists, and complaining about the brown people. Fuentes is just the mascot of this. The same playbook runs across other internet micro-empirus.

The ortho-brough crowd posts moody kindlet icons, speaks in hushed tones about, quote, quote, tradition, and scold modern decadence, yet their timelines mysteriously barren of wives and children. Do you know these guys, the ortho-brose? I've heard of them, but I don't follow or really understand who he's talking about. The in-cell, the involuntarily celebrate forums, are basically digital echo chambers where young men marinate in bitterness, chanting that women are too far gone. that marriage is a fool's trap, that reproduction is for suckers, the red pill hucksters, the fresh and fit, the whatever podcast, and their copycasts, pump out endless highlight reels of drunken, half-literate club girls, as if they were the sum total of modern womanhood. I think they may be looking for love in all the wrong places, too, I quote the 80s

country and western song. The real issue is, is that, you know, your mileage may vary. Western civilization that is detached from God is going to die just as much as if it was not going to reproduce with children. That is the essence of our lifeblood. That is the essence of our fruit. And that is the essence of a civilization that is worth saving. And that is something that we should not just passively set on the sidelines and say, we're too sophisticated to even bother with this.

There's no point in it. They tell people, married, do not reproduce, just keep watching and raging. Whether it is a liturgical cosplay, doom-scrolling bitterness, or nightclub nihilism, the message is identical. Opt out of family life. And once you have opted out, you have opted out of the future. It feels like you are rejecting the corruption of modernity, but in reality you're delivering your bloodline to extinction with a smug little flourish. And of course, that is exactly in this spiritual war that we're in, that is exactly what Satan wants. He wants the end of the human

race. And that's one of the ways that he can accomplish it is by our passivity. It is a resistance that resists nothing. It is a revolution that leaves no heirs. And when the last of its followers dies, there'll be no one left to even remember the live stream influencer that misled them. I think about that many times in terms of Trump and the Maga movement. Does it have any set up principles that are going to continue? No, because it's simply a personality cult. And once that personality is gone, what do they have to rally around? They don't have any principles. He turns on a dime and does something that's 180 degrees different than what he was promoting last week. And they obediently turn on a dime as well. Yes, sir. Whatever you

say, sir. Only what he says. He says, isn't merely a political mistake. It is a theological revolt. From page one of the Bible, God commands humanity to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. This is issued alongside the dominion mandate to govern, steward, and subdue. And let me just say that we're talking about the dominion mandate. That is for men and women, because we operate as a family, not as individuals. I think it's part of the sickness of focusing too much on individuality that we have to assign that to one of the other. They were designed to work as a team. Psalm 127 calls children a heritage from the Lord and arrows in the hands of a warrior.

Malachi says God unites husband and wife because he needs godly offspring. In other words, the first countermeasure against evil is a godly family that raises more godly families. So when an influencer mocks family knight or an in-cell turns celibacy into a lifestyle brand. They're not just making bad personal choices. They are spitting in the face of the God who made marriage and commanded fruitfulness. They are cutting the chord on their own people's lifeline. Our enemies don't care how many debates you win. They don't care how many likes your meme gets. They don't care how many nationalist conferences you attend. They don't care

about who shows up in the census. They care about who fills the schools. They care about who has in numbers to govern in 50 years. And the only scorecard that matters in that game is the birth rate. Let me just say, though, it doesn't end at birth rate. Where the fight really is, is in education. If you're going to have a bunch of kids and stick them in school, you're going to lose the war anyway. What you're doing is you're just creating servants for the state if you take your children

and stick them in the school. It isn't. The war troops to the other side. That's right. That's right. They're going to be assimilated into the beast. An anti-human agenda is what it is. He says, I point out repeatedly that preemptive issue for Christian ethicists in coming years

will be developing a robust pro-human theology. Not humanism, which is an ethical framework that promotes reason, science, and human welfare is a basis for morality and progress. It's secular. He says, I'm referring to an advocacy for humans in general over and against technology. He says, I'll summarize it by saying that Christians must focus on emphasizing the needs of people in the coming years. AI, quantum computing, singularity, automation, other emerging technology will de-emphasize the value of human beings. In coming years, we'll need to advocate for humans to have jobs rather than robots.

Or to give another example, I'll need to exercise caution to not replace human reasoning in regard to ethics. with AI processing. Must talking about the survival of something he calls human consciousness, quote unquote, in the future, but not of humans should raise our eyebrows. Most conservatives understand on some level that there's a very anti-human agenda in what our enemies are advancing. The wealthy elite talk like they want to, quote, save the planet, but their policies will aim at the same goal, which is fewer people.

They push abortion, sterilization, gender confusion, to kill. kill the family, climate hysteria to shut down energy and food, digital IDs, and cashless currency to track every move. They call it progress, but it is livestock management in order to tag, monitor, and call. And I said this all along from the, as they talk about herd immunity. I said, they're treating us like cattle, and they're trying to get us to adopt a herd mentality. They don't see you as an image bearer of God, but as a carbon. emitting liability to be erased and they see you as something that can be

manipulated that's like BF Skinner beyond freedom and dignity yeah you should not have freedom or dignity we can manipulate you psychologically to do what we want it is humanity as cattle and they're going to take you if you see yourself and if you act and follow their direction if you act like cattle as we saw in 2020 they've got the cattle cars ready to take you to the camp for extermination. That's what this is truly about. He said Christians have to emphasize childbearing. But again, let me emphasize it doesn't end with childbearing. That's just the very beginning of it. It is a lifelong experience where you are in the harness with your kids.

As you're walking down the road, you teach them about life. Every moment, every issue that comes up, anything in the news is a teaching moment. And you should have the principles that point them to the Lord Jesus Christ in each of those things, or it doesn't matter about Western civilization. Who cares about Western civilization if your kids don't have a relationship with God? It's meaningless. Life is meaningless without God. In a culture that despises fruitfulness, treating children as financial burdens, obstacles to career advancement, or threats to the environment, the church must shine as a countercultural witness. Isaiah reminds us that God created the earth to be inhabited.

The declining birth rates across the West are not only a demographic problem, but spiritual one. The Great Commission is not in competition with the creation mandate. The two of those work together. We are to make disciples of all nations. And that begins with making children and making them disciples. It's a... Yeah, it truly is.

It's wonderful to get to watch our son grow and change. Yeah. The amount of excitement I have of how I can't wait to start teaching him things. He's not at that stage where he can actually learn yet. You know, he's figuring things out, how to pick things up, how to stand up on his own. And he gets excited about that too, yeah. I can't wait to read him books and hear him get excited about, oh, what kind of animal is that? What does that do?

Yeah. Yeah, that's, I thought that. You don't just want to be an Elon Musk where you. Oh, look, he's got eight, seven, children or something. Who cares? He's not a father. Yeah, I was like 13 or 14. So many people would always talk about the terrible twos, and that's when I enjoyed

you guys the most, because that's when the mind starts to kick in. That's when it comes a challenge for the parents, because now you've got two wills that are there, but that's when I thought it was interesting, because that's when you can engage the mind that is developing

on the other side of it. It's funny. He's a little bit over nine months now, but he's already starting to get willful. He wants things. You can tell he wants something, and he gets mad when he doesn't get it. Yeah, yeah, he just screams out if he doesn't get it. So there's a new strain of so-called Christian teaching that's aimed squarely at young men. It speaks in the tones of righteousness, dripping with warnings about modern women, body counts, and protecting your purity, but underneath it functions as a sterilization campaign for the church. These voices insist that if women have ever been promiscuous regardless of whether God has saved and sanctified them, they are permanently off limits as wives.

The stated goal is to guard men from making a bad choice. The real result is to encourage men to opt out of marriage and fatherhood altogether. If the standard is impossibly high and the alternative is lifelong bachelorhood, the result is not holiness but demographic suicide. And that is a key thing. I'm seeing certain denominations are growing very, very quickly with young men because there has been, in a lot of different denominations, there has been kind of a feminization of the church. And it is good to try to balance that out,

but you can fall off in the other direction. You know, you can become like the orthobros. I don't know if that's what they're about. if they're Orthodox brothers or whatever, but... Has to be based on context. Yeah, if you become something like that, very judgmental and isolationist and intolerant of anything that doesn't fall exactly into your perfect model,

that is a very, very bad. As he points out, it's a satanic ploy. The devil has no trouble getting Christians to violate God's command in the name of obeying them. He did it with the Pharisees, weaponizing tradition and nullify the law of God, and he's doing it now in the so-called gender war, convincing Christian men that the holiest response to a corrupt age is to pull the plug on the family line. If you wanted to keep the great commission from ever being

fulfilled, if you want to make sure the church withered from within, you would make exactly this argument. Don't marry, don't have kids. Wait until you find an impossible standard. And if you never do, the world can have the future, and you don't need to be participating in it. That's the key thing. And I think he nailed this. I think that really is the message of Nick Fuentes and many others like him. We'll be right back. I'm going to be I'm going to be I'm

You're listening to the David Knight Show. Welcome back. We've got a lot of comments here. Before we do that, before we get to the comments, I'd like to give a few comments about Nick Fuentes. I have a good bit of insight. I followed quite a few stories about him. If you want to know about Nick Fuentes, you can look up someone named Jaden McNeil.

He's someone that was involved with the America First Movement. He was very, very close to Fuentes. And what Nick Fuentes did to him after he left and the amount of, the number of horrific things that Fuentes has done. He has burned bridges with everyone, the type of people he's associated with. He knew Ali Alexander, well, almost definitely knew. I think it's definite that he knew Ollie Alexander was a predator. And he brought him in close to a bunch of very young, very impressionable. young boys. He associates with people like

Ethan Ralph, who's a revenge pornographer, abuser, alcoholic, pill popper. He's surrounded by very nasty people. Look up Black Swan, a person, a member of his Sussie Squad, who does gay ops for Nick Fuentes. Sussie Squad? The Sussie Squad.

Are they suspect? They're very suspect. I believe Black Swan is a trainee himself. And so he is surrounded by a co-hold of despicable, wretched individuals. He has burned bridges with everyone that is of good character. There's people that we used to work with. Jake Lloyd, you probably remember he was part of America First for a bit,

and I believe he was thrown out and excoriated for trying to clear out the riffraff. And Nick Fuentes is just a bad, bad individual. He's a nasty person. Grifters. If they're not controlled opposition, they are grifters. And I say that about all the J6 crowd that was there. He was there at J6. He was inciting people.

Yeah. He gets off members of his movement. It's not interesting. And members of his movement go to prison. Alex Jones, Nick Flinty's, these people who did. And they focus everybody, again, people like Darren Beattie, focus everybody on, what's that guy's name, Ray, I forget who the guy's name was. But, you know, that guy, Ray Epps, they focus on Ray Epps. And as I said, over and home again, Ray Epps didn't get people to show up.

He didn't get them all fired up to get Biden out. there by any means necessary. It was the people who were holding the rallies. It was to stop the steal people that were doing it. And they were not touched. Doesn't that scream controlled opposition to you? It does to me. You know, and I saw these guys.

I know what they're about. They're about getting money. At the very least, they're not trustworthy. But I believe it goes further than that. I believe they're controlled opposition. And I believe that the dog that didn't bark, the indictments that didn't come, scream ought to scream to you very very loudly about all this stuff

Fuentes is nothing but a hateful little troll he's about self-aggrandizement everything the only time he's happy if you've seen any clips of his show is when he's berating the people who are watching it he despises his viewers he hates them the only time he's happy is when he's berating them we're talking about how great he is well that's the only time everything else is a begrudging well I guess I'll talk about politics I guess I'll talk about this I've never watched him. I've seen some clips.

When he was getting really big years ago, I was like, oh, well, I'll see what he's about. And if you watch some of the highlights, he's occasionally funny. And then you actually get to what he's about and you see he loves nothing more than just being hateful. That's what he likes. Well, I didn't know. I didn't pay attention to him when there's this back and forth war between Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. I didn't care about it. I mean, it's a bunch of, it's a soap opera, right?

what matters with these people, where were they, on January 6th, where were they with the 2020 lockdowns and the fake pandemic and the vaccines? If they took a pill on that because they were afraid to criticize Trump or whatever, I'm not interested in what they have to say. And it surprises me that anybody is interested in what they have to say. Yeah, I don't understand it. He's, to me, he's obviously controlled opposition. I know that Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson went after him, but I think it's simply the fact that the people that like Nick Fuentes dislike Candace Owens, the people that like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, dislike Fuentes, and it's a way of keeping everybody in the fold.

Look, that federal agent criticize this guy. That means they're not a federal agent, or they understand that it's a little obinculating. They're sub-tribes with all this kind of stuff, and that's how they get you locked in. You know, you get attached to a particular person or whatever, not to principles, right? Not to the truth, but you're attached to some personality there. Again, it's a form of cosplay, like we're talking about with a trad wife, right? You know, it's what it really is about. But we have a lot of comments now.

Yeah, let's get to some of those. Shea B5 says, A Cancer Vaccine is how the zombie movie I Am Legend movie started. Oh, there's some predictive programming for you there. I guess maybe what they didn't have there is the nonsense that Trump was pushing on the first day of his administration.

Yeah, we'll have AI custom-make an MRI vaccine for you. Yeah. I called it a genetic code injection from the very beginning, and now that's been admitted as well. We're going to have turbo zombies. Yeah. I mean, the zombies and I Am Legend were kind of turbo zombies, except they were more like vampires in that movie. Marky, Mark N.J. says Lauren Southern is a feminist. She's always been a covert feminist. She's always been a grifter, yeah.

Yeah, I agree. Shelly A, I think it's a good thing to not dress like a whore, sloppy clothes, or like a man, but women should do that by having Christian morals and not for social media influence. I agree. If you're just wearing it as a costume, it has no meaning and no value. Yona Annie Wodee, matriarchy, and motherhood are vilified. and fathers are devalued, and families are destroyed nationwide. That's right. Yeah, we need to stand for the family, and all this, you know, male versus female, all the gender wars, is basically a way to get the family to divorce, to pick up sides. Again, don't fall into that.

We need to find ways that we come together, that we, you know, you're always going to have this kind of difference, but that's the way that you grow as a, you know, you're always going to grow as an adult is by looking at these differences and figuring it out. Audi, Modern Retro Radio, says Nick Fuentes was among the ones who assisted the J6 entrapment. Yeah, I agree. That's exactly right. It was all entrapment, and that should be the big red flag, right, about all these people. It truly is amazing.

We have Tunnel Lord 1337. These guys are looking for women in the wrong places. I found plenty of wise young women when I got involved. in local politics, all very virtuous and wise. I'm surprised how many I've found. Yeah, if you're looking to find a wise young woman at the local bar scene or something like that, chances are you're not going to find her there. Yeah, or even college. I mean, that used to be the place that people, in my generation, many people go to college in order to find a husband or a wife or whatever. I don't know what's such a propagandized thing now. I don't know if that would even work.

Probably not. Never Married, says we just launched the world's first ever dating at website for never married people to help increase the birth rate. We posted about the birth rate collapse on Twitter slash X and then got banned. Got banned. Hmm, that's interesting. Musk is supposed to be for that. I don't know. You know, never married. I always, I always knew that I would get married, but I never expected that I would find anybody as likable as Karen. She made it so easy. Julia is amazing. I got to say, I was spoiled. Your mileage may vary. My wife is wonderful, too. She makes it extremely easy. Nathan Bedford Forrest

1865, great name, of course. Nick was running with Milo for a while. I never could hang with homoes. Yeah, that was the other thing. Milo Yanopolis that Alex kept bringing he never brought in Blair White while I was there. Thank goodness. But Alex seems to be

fascinated with that for some reason, especially Blair, from what I've seen. It's amazing. Milo is a extreme provocateur. Everything he gets involved with, ends up going down in flames, and he likes to keep dirt on people. He is all about that. Very unstable.

Kind of like a homosexual version of Laurel Lumer. If you can imagine such a thing. I'm sure that would hurt Milo's feelings very deeply to hear you say that. Con think, thank you for the tip. He says, sharp tie, Mr. Knight. Not so much, Mr. Knight. Please. Mr. Knight is my father. There we go.

Yeah. Well, let's talk a little bit about it. There's an interesting article, Brian Schell Hobby of Health Impact had. I like the title, The Idols are no longer mute. They talk back through AI, and they tell us what we want to hear. We were talking about AI yesterday as a program ended. And that is one of the key things, you know, throughout the Bible, the prophets would mock these metal or wood statues that people made and worshipped

and said they can't even talk. well now they can talk and that's making them even more dangerous he said kind of reminds me of the part where the magicians of pharaoh turn their staves into snakes to mimic what that's right yeah they can mimic the stuff they can do it but you know and that's the key point of this article he said look they can do some pretty amazing stuff but you got to remember that it's all just tricks and illusions, right? You know, David Copperfield is very, very clever. Of course, he's also in the Epstein files, but he was very clever.

He made the Statue of Liberty disappear, but I don't know that the people that were there actually believed that it had vanished. They knew that it was some kind of an illusion. The problem is that people don't keep that kind of perspective when they start dealing with artificial intelligence. And that's the key point that he's making here, and he's got an excellent op-ed piece from Charles Hugh Smith, who has a blog or a website of two minds. And he said, AI is a mirror in which we see our own reflection.

He said, if we pay close attention to what the human brings to the exchange with AI in these chat programs, we find that AI is not so much a tool that everyone uses in more or less the same way, but it is a mirror in which we see our own reflection. if we care to look, and we might not, because what AI reflects may well be troubling. What we see in the AI mirror reflects the entirety of our knowledge, our emotional state, and our yearnings. He said the illusion of understanding it creates via its mastery of natural language in human written text is best understood as a magic trick and not actual intelligence or caring. those who are obsessed with AI to improve their workflow might see if they choose to look

carefully an over-scheduled way of life that is much less about accomplishment, what we tell ourselves, and more about a hamster wheel of BS work, symbolic value, and signaling to others and ourselves that we're busy, so therefore we are valuable. Those seeking a wise friend, a counselor, or romantic partner in AI, are reflecting. a profound hollowness in their human relationships and a set of expectations that are unrealistic and lacking in introspection. Those seeking intellectual stimulation will find wormholes into the entirety of human knowledge. For what's difficult for humans, seeking and applying patterns and connections to complex realms, AI does very easily. So we're astonished and we're

enamored by its facility with complex ideas. The more astute the human's queries and prompts, the deeper the AI's response for the AI mirrors the hitman's users, knowledge, and his state of mind. We've talked about this over and over again, that it starts to reflect what you want and it gives you what you want. So I've seen many articles now. People say, look at this. I got AI particular chat to agree that there's a God. And it's like, well, that's because that's what you believe and it's reflecting what you're putting in there. But he makes a really good point that the more intelligent a person is on a particular subject, more knowledge they have, the more in depth they are, the more they will see meaning in what AI comes back, right? So they'll fill

that in. He says, it might be a word salad, but because the human has a deep understanding of a particular field, they may discern something in the AI's response that they find to be insightful because it triggered a new connection in their own mind. It's not that AI is coming up with some new insight. It's just that it kind of triggered something new to them because it's throwing out this word salad. This is important to understand. The AI did not generate the insight, though the human reckons that it did because the phrase struck the human as insightful.

The insight arose in the human mind due to its deep knowledge of the field. I don't know if you ever saw the movie being there or not with Peter Sellers. But when I saw this, it made me think of that exactly. There's this guy who was taken care of by Peter Sellich plays this guy who was taken care of by a very rich elderly guy. And he was not capable of doing anything. He's not intelligent at all. He's not capable of doing things except keeping the garden.

And he always wore a suit. I was always dressed very nicely. And he would tend the garden in a suit. And then the old man dies. and he's basically on the street and through a series of chance encounters and everything, he comes in contact with some very wealthy and connected people. Eventually he gets into the president's office. And all these people are captains of industry and all this other kind of stuff,

talk to him, and he hasn't got a clue as to what they're saying, and he'll respond to things that are complete non-sequiters, really. But what they'll do is they'll read meaning into it. And I've got a clip of the trailer here, just in case you've never seen the movie, it kind of sums up life. Tell me, Mr. Gatignan, do you, by any chance, enjoy Krilov's fables? And I ask you that, because there is something, there's something Krilovian about you. Do you think so? I believe that you know, Krilov.

Ah, um, you ploy for galoges, brigadzzi of it in a pizza. So, you know your crelov in Russian, do you? Mr. Godden, I must confess I had suspected as much all alone. Excuse me, but would you tell me your name again? You dash, I'm American humor, eh? Vladimir Scrapinov. That's a very nice name. and yours

Chonzi Gardiner like poetic Chonzi name is not known as much a gardener a little fanzowska

to make a walk through VATI Yeah, you get the idea It's important to understand that AI doesn't have the insights any more than chance

the gardener does And it's just by chance That puts together this word salad But you know these people throughout this movie are projecting onto him profound riddles that he's doing. He just kind of sits there and blankly stares at people. And throughout that, and that's exactly what's going on with AI. What matters isn't what AI auto completes.

What matters is our interpretation of the AI output, just as you saw him interpreting the responses of chance. And it sparks, what it sparks in our own mind? The important thing is what the human mind auto completes into the AI's response. That's exactly right. I don't know if you saw this, but Travis Kalalnik, the former CEO of Uber, right? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Was posting about how, oh, I've been working with AI and I think we're about to make some huge physics breakthroughs.

I'm now wondering, like, how long until Travis Kalalick ends up in a psych ward from the AI brainwashing him. Yeah, that's exactly right. He says, Charles goes on to say, to the secure individual, the first question that arises when AI heaps on the praise and the artifice of caring is, what is the con? But what the emotionally needy individual sees is empathy and affirmation, because this is what they lack within themselves. Therefore, it is what they crave. The emotionally secure individual sees it is fake and authentic and potentially manipulative,

A reflection, not just of neediness, but of a narcissism that reflects a culture of unrealistic expectations and narcissistic involution. In other words, we're looking to have AI fill in things that we're missing. He said, in AI, we are looking at a mirror that reflects ourselves and our ultra-processed culture, a zeitgeist of empty calories and manic distractions that foster a state of mind that is both harried and bored, hyper-aware of superficialities, and blind what the AI mirror is reflecting about us. And see, that's the key thing.

You know, when we look at it, that's why I think when you talk about something like throwing together visuals, you know, it throws out all kinds of elements that it puts in there. And some of the stuff is going to be absolute garbage. But what these people have done, they've run it through the filter multiple times so they get one that they like. and then they put it in a context of a video and take the sections of it that they like. And so from the standpoint of, you know, creating movies or videos that are simply fictional,

I think it can be very useful. But the real concern is how it is used by government because it can coalate and it can data mine things that they are looking for. And it can do that to us and will be used for service. balance and for control. But the other part of it is don't get into a dialogue with it that you really believe that it is talking to you. We see this over and over again. Yeah, it doesn't have emotions. It doesn't think, it doesn't feel. It is simply auto-complete. It feeds you back a response that you think, that it thinks, well, thinks in quotes that you want. And I mentioned before,

but I think a real danger is just people giving up on learning to do things for themselves. Yeah. We're going to be denied an entire generation of artists and very talented people who won't see the value in learning how to play the guitar or the piano or the violin because why would I? I can just have the AI do this for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When I was going up, we talked about somebody playing music, you would kind of assume that they're playing an instrument, especially my crowd of friends. But now playing music, hit the play button, you know, on this thing. But you're talking about people giving up. This article shows an MIT student said they're going to drop out. she says that AGI, artificial general intelligence, is going to kill everybody before she can even graduate.

So this is the type of thing that you've been seeing for the longest time of people about the climate McGuffin, and now she has that kind of pessimism about the future because of AGI. It's also truly amazing. This is an insight into the type of people that get into MIT and these other. You want to believe, at one point, some of us, I know, I wanted to believe, like, all right, Harvard, yeah, these places. Obviously, they're only accepting the best and the brightest. This is MIT, and this person's like, I've got to drop out because AGI is going to, come on. You watch Terminator one too many times.

I get it's scary, but the real danger is not that the AGI is going to become self-aware and take us out. So the government is going to use it as a massive hammer to crush everyone underneath it. Well, you know, they're able to, because of these schools where people can go like J.D. Vance goes to Yale and he meets Peter Thiel. It's those kind of connections that has the value for those types of schools, but I had a lot of friends when I started working at TI that were from the UK because of the department that I was working in, we had a lot of people that were coming over. And so most of the people that I knew had moved to the U.S. from the U.K. And somebody mentioned one particular person was, we were having a discussion about some technical stuff, and the guy was not there, but somebody said, yes. so and so and said, yeah, he's, he's from MIT or something. And the other guy says, say no more.

He says, every person I've met in the U.S. that's from MIT is like, you know, you can tell them a mile away, but you can't tell them anything, you know. So that was an interesting perspective. You can tell a grad from MIT, but you can't tell them much, apparently. That's right. Well, she said, if your career is about to be automated by the end of the decade, then every year spent in college is one year subtracted

from your very short career. I personally think AGI is maybe four years away and full automation in the economy is maybe five or six years away. So she believes all the stuff that people like Sam Altman have been telling everybody.

You know, Sam Altman goes to Congress and he warns them, he says, AI's going to take over the world. And we've got an AI gap and you better give money to me and only to me because it's too dangerous to be handled by other people

and you can't let the Chinese get it. shower me with cash and put up restrictions against competition. And now you've got Sam Altman saying, well, I think we're in a kind of a dot-com bubble, which I think we've been in from the very beginning with all this stuff. And the thing that I thought was really funny was a quote. He says, well, I think we're moving towards AGI, artificial general intelligence, which is to say that it thinks like a human being and can reason. I don't think they're ever going to get there.

But he says, I think we're not there yet, but I think that it is, quote, generally intelligent, which reminds me of what George Santos, the guy, the New York con man, right? I'm Jewish. I'm Jewish. Oh, I said I was Jewish. I love myself a good deal. I'm like a Jew, yeah. I'm Jewish.

So these things are not, they haven't achieved artificial general intelligence. they are generally intelligent. How about that? I love their little word games and semantic differences. Yeah, it's just a lot of marketing hype. And this is a futurism that is saying this, which follows tech issues. So you may be ignoring the very mundane forms of harm that it's causing, like job automation and the gutting of the, they say the environment, but I would say the use for surveillance

and control. those things are very real. They've got people worrying that it's going to be some kind of an existential threat, like some kind of a sky net thing, because it's going to become super intelligent and kill us all. It's like, well, the real harm is going to be coming from the people who are using it. I just do not believe AI will ever become self-aware. Personally, I don't believe that humans have the capability to create a different kind of life.

I don't think that's within our scope of capabilities. I think God has allowed us to create life in a specific set way. you know husband wife ideally they create a child and we do it throughout and it creates it in his image i think people will want to believe this thing is a life format itself aware but again it'll be some twisted false mirror because satan operates that way he doesn't create the people are developing it want to believe that they're doing that because that makes that puts them the position of being god they're giving birth to a whole new category of being right so that makes them into a god which is always the desire people to be god and uh i also think it's a fundamental

misunderstanding of what these things are because they are fundamentally deceptive they are a language completion tool they complete sentences and works based on the text that came before it and an algorithm that looks at previous text that it's been given no matter how complicated you make that it will never be alive. It's back to the whole thing of Alan Turing, how a Turing test is fundamentally, you know, reductive to the point of ignoring what consciousness is, where if you can convince someone believably that you can't tell the difference between this person and a machine, then therefore the machine must be equal to the person. It's, uh, ignoring. Do you still have that back and forth that you did with, I think it was chat GPT, about the problem, you know,

where you've got the wolf and the, what was it, the sheep or something like that, and then you've got something that the sheep would eat, and you've got to take them across one at a time on a boat. Yeah, it was a famous riddle. We should put that up on substack. I never covered that in the detail that it really deserved. But what Lance did was he left off one of those elements. And you could tell what the AI was doing.

It would go back and say, well, first you take, and it referred to the missing element. You take that across and he says, no, no, no, there is no fill in the blank, right? Whatever that was. And he goes, oh, yeah, that's right. Let me try this again. And so it keeps going back through this and he keeps correcting it and it keeps making mistakes. And it was like the traditional science fiction thing that you see where you've got this super robot and Captain Kirk gives it a logical conundrum and it breaks down eventually. you know and you could almost see chat gbt shaking and smoking as the lights on it start switching back and forth

but it was great it was very long it took him a while but uh he basically got it to break down and just start uh repeating gibberish i uh did that because i saw someone talking about how it can't handle uh things that are close to well-known riddles yeah it's very close to the riddle but changed one element and it couldn't handle it here's uh article i found about that just looking at up now uh the wolf goat and the cabbage problem yeah yeah yeah we should put your uh we should put your thing up that was that was great and it really shows the limitations of this and how it copies it you know if it it goes out and it finds that pattern and it can't pull itself back it shows it's not capable of thinking it can only imitate that

pattern that is out there to solve that problem for the wolf the goat and the cabbage but Thinking is a fundamentally different thing. There's an X factor there. There's something that the AI can't have. It comes intrinsic with being an organic life form with a soul of some kind. It can put data points together. It can look at these different things, but it's just weighing all of the data it has against itself.

And eventually it starts just to feed you things. It looks at what responses you liked and what responses you didn't. It just starts feeding you things that it thinks you will like. it is not thinking. And I don't believe it will ever actually be capable of thinking. It will simply still be weighing patterns and the amount of data it has on something versus the amount of data it has on something else. That is a fundamentally very different thing.

But now they're going to use it to do genetic modification. Oh boy. So why not, right? Let's just give it access to. Did you know that you can now have AI, pick your test tube baby for you? Well, you know, one of the things I thought was interesting. was they've always told us that CRISPR is a way that they can modify, genetically modify people, plants, and everything, right? And that is a scalpel and they can make these precise changes.

And yet, the cattle industry in Texas, one person was talking about how they were using genetic modifications, said, CRISPR is not a scalpel, it's a chainsaw. And you've got to be careful because it creates all kinds of unintended consequences. And so, So now, after they told us all this time, create this idea that CRISPR is this precise way to make changes in what they're doing. Now they're coming back and saying it's so imprecise that we need to clean it up with, guess what, AI. Womp, wompwomp. So I'm looking at this article that this guy has, and he kind of overcomplicated it.

All I asked it was a man and a goat are on one side of a river. they have a boat how can they cross to the other side of the river and it couldn't get that because it's too similar to this well-known riddle yeah so first you put the cabbage in the boat or something like that and you say there's no cabbage or something like that but yeah so its answer was the man takes the goat across to the river leaves it on the other side then the man returns alone to the original side and then he rose across to the river alone I said no the goat well wonder off if he was left alone and went on this whole big long thing and it never got the riddle correct but it did break down that was a funny thing you know it was it was just trying to copy that

pattern and and when you kept pointing out that it had it wrong it eventually just broke down well we need to rethink AI before it destroys what it means to be human and we talked about this yesterday as well about the atrophy of the human mind if you don't use your brain how it atrophies And yet, the guy who is considered to be the godfather of AI, his name is Hinton, was saying, well, we need to train AI to act like a mother, so that can mother humanity. And it's actually, I think we have a little bit too much of that in a nanny state as well, but that's where they want to go with this. So now we know why the nanny state people want to have AI control of the world.

We have a nanny gap, I guess. That's the real issue. medication time yeah yeah that's really what it is well we're going to take a quick break and we come back we're going to take a quick look at what is going on in the economy stay with us we'll be right back You're listening to the David Knight Show. Whether you're feeling like the blues or blue grass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSRadio.com. All right.

Welcome back. We have the conservative press, the Trump press, Zero Hedged in the particular case, talking about how Bank of America is nixing a rule that led to debanking of conservative religious groups. Okay, this is great. This is a Trump victory. Look at what Trump has been able to get them to do. And yet the reality of it is that you have to ask yourself, why did they come up with this in the first place? And what is going to keep them from doing it again? Just as we saw with the lockdown, No consequences for the things that were done in 2020, and if these people are allowed to get away with it, they will do it again. Government doesn't care about this. They're not going to care enough about it to tell them that they can't do it again, because they, and this is key, when we look at things like the Genius Act, that is another genius action on the part of having, instead of a central bank digital currency, having it run through private corporations.

because what they're going to say to you is that, well, you know, just as we've seen with YouTube and social media, well, they kicked you off. It's not us. But we knew that it was the government all along. And eventually we got the receipts that showed that it was a government telling these different platforms to de-platform people. And I think the same thing is true when we look at taking people off of PayPal and VEMO in our particular case. The person said, there's no reason given. It's just a message saying, take the person off right now. And so when you have private stable coins instead of a government central bank digital currency, the government will be able to tell the private corporations that are running these stable coins, debank this person over here. And then if you complain about it, it's like, it's not us. They did that on their own. That was Facebook or that was PayPal or that was YouTube. And that's the same game they're going to run with this stuff because the Republicans are not interested in stopping the debanking of people. They just want to make sure that there is a plausible deniability

when they have the corporations act as their surrogate in all this. So the change removed language from the bank's code of conduct that permitted account closures based on a customer's religious viewpoint. This revision followed a feedback, said Bank of America, from our stakeholders. One thing to note is, well, Well, this is good if they don't do anything about the payment processors, things like Stripe, the people that actually move the money around, it doesn't mean anything. You can still have a bank account, but if Stripe says, no, we're not going to do business with you, you're still dead in the water.

Yeah. It's a half measure. Yeah. If you don't target Stripe, which moves a significant portion of the world's money through it each year, this will accomplish. And it's the dog that doesn't bark. I mean, you look at the Genius Act, and they thought of everything in there. They said, okay. You're going to have to have certain rules about you've got to buy U.S. currency and bonds and things like that.

And you have to know your customer and do all of that kind of stuff. But they don't put a prohibition on them saying you will never freeze somebody's funds. The reason that they're going to stable coin is because they want these corporations to freeze people's funds. So the fact that they don't have that in there, but they got all to know-your-customer stuff and you do everything that we tell you to do, that tells you that that's the way that they want to use it. And it's both parties. It's not just the Democrats are not there. We've had people in chat.

I forget who it was, but they said that they are seeing stable coin infrastructure going in their local supermarkets, ways to pay using them. And to me, that's a sure sign. This is coming down the pipeline, because you're not going to see these companies investing in that infrastructure unless they're pretty sure that it's happening. You're not going to see them spend millions,

who knows how many millions of dollars to put these in stores, unless they know that. And that's another reason why you need to make sure that you have local food, that you have the ability to grow some of your own food as well. Get chickens. That's really going to be where they're going to put the choke point is going to be. You talk about Operation Choke Point, about choking people on food, not just on buying ammunition and guns and that type of thing.

The decision comes amid growing scrutiny from conservative activists and political figures over what they describe as politically motivated account terminations. Well, you better talk to these people like Marsha Blackburn about the Genius Act and say, why haven't you put prohibitions in law against debanking people over religious or political statements that they make? Trump has accused Bank of America and J.P. Morgan of refusing him banking services after his first term ended in 2021, an action that some insiders saw the post occurred under pressure from the Biden administration following the January 6 issues.

They don't want to get rid of that power, though. They want to be able to use that power to debank their opponents. And so that's one of the reasons why they're keeping it there. They said the banks have claimed that we have to do it because of reputational risk. And, of course, that's very similar to the reasons that they give for taking people off of social media. We can't have free speech on a platform. I mean, look at what we might have people like McQuentes, for example, who, as we talked about, everybody knows we don't have really any respect for Nick,

but he doesn't need to be censored by the government. You should be allowed to say what he wants to say. And so they'll say, well, you know, we can't have him. So we've got to kick him off there. And that's what the banks are saying. In recent years, some financial institutions applied similar standards to religious viewpoints, including opposition to same-sex marriage, categorizing them as hate speech. And we have seen how the British will even categorize abortion protesters.

as hate speech. It could be nothing further from the truth. I mean, you even had a situation in the UK where a woman was standing there and saying, I'm here to talk if you want to talk. I'm against coercion and so forth. And they still arrested that woman because she held up a sign saying, I'm here to talk if you want to talk. Can't say that. Which is a lot kinder. If I was given power, abortion would be out the door. Sorry, we're going coercion on this one, fellas. No more choice on that option. Yeah, I don't think people should have the choice to kill babies. Yeah, I don't think that.

That's just murder. We've already got laws against that. We just need to enforce that we need to define that as murder, and then we're set. Yep. That's it. Well, 10 ways that government compliance stable coins are functionally no different than CBDC. This is a free thought project article. And they're absolutely right.

It is a Trojan horse, a path toward programmable money, surveillance, and control, all under the guise of legitimacy. And again, if they're going to have know-your-customer rules, requirements about assets that they can and cannot hold and all the rest of stuff, but no requirement that they can't seize your money and shut you down, that tells you everything that you need to know. So first of all, first reason. On-demand asset seizure.

That's right there in a nutshell. Secondly, identity surveillance. And that's one of the things that you see with Marsha Blackburn. identity surveillance in order to be able to use the internet we got to do it for the kids and then the genius act the stable coin that is also about identity surveillance control over issuers equals control over money only those sanctioned by the OCC or state regulators can issue these stable coins millions can be locked out if you are not approved sanctions and compliance by design bankruptcy immunity for the

Reserves. Shifting governance to corporations, that's an important part of this, extraterritorial enforcement, not extraterrestrial, but extraterritorial enforcement. Foreign issuers must meet U.S. AML and sanctions standards or lose access to the U.S. market. That's the kind of jurisdictional reach that is typical of CBDC systems. You'll have reserve requirements as a monetary policy. policy tool. So instead of, this will allow them to continue to prop up the dollar through Fed bonds and other things like that. And they will, this is the way they can keep the ball rolling without having this whole House of Cards collapse on them. Interoperability means shared surveillance interfaces. And then finally, real world precedent that validates the risk. Stable coin issuers have already demonstrated freeze capability. Tether, froze $225 million in 2023. They froze $46 million in 2022 and $160 million at the authority's

requests. U.S. D.C., another stable coin, froze $100,000 in 2020, and blacklisted tornado cash. Ledgers that can be wiped at a moment's notice are no different from centralized money under CBDC logic. And every other thing that they talked about was CBDC, in other words, putting a geofence around it, saying, well, you can't use this digital money if you're not within a certain geographical area. That's how they keep us in their little smart cities or their little prisoner villages, you know, saying here's a 15-minute area that you can walk around in.

If you get outside of that, your money won't work. And all of that, all of that. of that is all available under stable coins. It's a harbinger of a future that has lived with the permission of the state. That's why I said it's about surveillance and it's about control. And all of this stuff, the AI and the digital stuff is all about that. How do you get away from that? You get away from that by focusing on building human communities that are local to you, by moving to physical things like gold and silver. And that's really what we need to focus on. And that's really what we need to focus on. We've got to have a separate parallel society. There's no way that we're going to

stop what these people are doing. We just have to build something different that will serve us and serve our needs. And it's time for us to start thinking about what we're going to build rather than thinking about how we're going to stop the other tribe because we're not going to be able to stop these people. As I point out in this article, it's time to exit in order to get to true financial autonomy. Now, a free thought project will give you some alternatives. in terms of crypto coins, the answer isn't better government-compliant stable coins. The answer is privacy by design, projects like Xano, tools like the confidential layer. But of course, I'm partial to the simple stuff, the physical, that you see with gold and silver and other things like that.

I think that's what we need to focus on. Of course, you get at David Knight dot gold if you're interested in getting some gold or silver. for yourself. Yeah, they'll take you Tony Arriban, Wise Wolf Gold. We appreciate Tony's support,

but I think this is something that has been and it's going to continue as we look at the surreal projects coming out of Washington, the big,

beautiful bill that Trump called it. If you believe that it is big and beautiful, then you probably believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny as well.

It's all kinds of free stuff. And now they're telling everybody, the average American is going to get $3752 tax cut in 2006 due to the big, beautiful bill. Well, you know, you believe that. Two-ferry is going to be coming. I guess it'll leave that money underneath your pillow, don't you think? I can't wait. He'll sneak in in the middle of the night. He'll probably give you a little smooch on your forehead, too. I guess I'll have to wonder when MAGA is going to stop saying that Trump is going to get rid the income tax. He's not. He's kind of. He constantly talks about how he's going to make these things permanent.

He's going to make specified tax cuts permanent. But he keeps building the deficit. And if the deficit keeps growing, even with other tariffs, you're not ever going to be able to escape from an oppressive tax code here. It's all smoking mirror. We talked about that article a week or so, maybe two weeks ago now, the way they calculate the debt. When you actually take into account their screwy metrics,

It's actually closer to $150 trillion. 31 trillion is bad enough, but 151 trillion is an absurd number beyond anything any country could ever pay back. Yeah, they've got a lot of entitlement programs that they're on the hook for and no way to really pay for it. So one of the things that they want to do is to keep inflation numbers down. If they don't keep actual inflation down, they keep the inflation numbers down. One of the things that people have been talking about is how electricity rates are skyrocketing. NPR had an article attacking Florida because they don't like DeSantis and talking about how electricity rates in many areas had doubled.

And they were saying, well, it's because of AI. And it's, you know, we've got to build the power plants. We're going to have an AI gap. That's right. And it's the same type of thing we've seen them do over and over again with sports stadiums. You know, everybody else gets the bill. so we can build the infrastructure for these billionaires and their schemes that are out there. But I looked at it and I thought, you know, when they talk about inflation and we see

electricity rates going up by 50%, by 100% in different areas, how does that calculate into the federal government's calculation of inflation? Well, we know that the way they calculated inflation has been rigged for the longest time. So I looked it up and it turns out that they weight electricity rates are only given a weight of 3%. So they don't really calculate electricity costs, just like they don't look at things like insurance costs or even taxes to give them very much weight.

So that's one of the ways that they rig the inflation numbers. They'll even go in when they're talking about computers. They'll say, well, this year's Apple Computers, the same price as last year's Apple Computer, but this year it's 20% faster. So that means that it's effectively 20% cheaper. So they use things like that deflate inflation. And that's important because when you look at their unfunded liabilities

like Social Security, that keeps them from keeping up with inflation on these entitlement programs. And that saves them a lot of money. I got into an argument with some guy on Facebook. This is years ago at this point. But we were talking about inflation. He's like, well, actually inflation isn't that high. He's like, let me guess. You're about to use their screwy metrics. You're about to tell me that actually it's key to these very specific things. So what you're talking about is inflation. We know what we're talking about. Just because they have specifically made it. So the term means something very, very specific that benefits them.

Don't pretend you don't know what I mean. The cost of milk has gone up. The cost of eggs have gone up. Everything that it takes to actually live your life has gone up. People aren't buying a new gaming laptop every single year. Let's all just buy a new laptop every year and get rich that way, right? That's how this works. Well, it's just like the labor statistics when Trump fired that woman.

And, of course, she had manipulated the statistics, as they all do. She manipulated them to favor Biden and to make him look good. She had the second highest adjustment. It was over 800,000 jobs that she said existed, that the next quarter she said, oh, made a mistake, I've got to derate that so that she could create an upward trend. They always want it to be upward and to the right. And they'll manipulate the data, and they do it every single quarter. Her crime was that she didn't manipulate it in order to favor Trump.

sufficiently and that's what he fired her for and everybody's wringing their hands and saying we can't count on the U.S. government figures anymore that you never could count on them they were always garbage we've got a comment and a tip from marque mark here he says well thank you for the tip first says the thing with the CPI is that the items comparing its basket of goods and services can and does change yeah yeah and it is a basket case of statistics it really is everything that comes out of Washington is a deception and a lie. This is one thing that's good, though, and Trump has purged 275,000 illegal aliens from Social Security. They should never have been getting Social Security in the first place. This is Cloward and Piven on steroids here, an entitlement program

for people who never paid into it in previous years. You pay into this your entire life about 15% of your earnings, and there's no deductions on that at all, but then they find some way to claw that back at the end. And Trump is now telling the seniors, don't worry, I'm going to give you a $6,000 deduction on your Social Security. And it's like, that's not really going to help anybody. They're still going to tax the bulk of your Social Security that's coming in. They're just going to give you a little bit of an exemption for it. And it's all smoke and mirrors. It's all deception. Social Security is the largest Ponzi scheme ever in It's funny. You would always talk about how, you know, I don't think I'll ever get Social Security. I don't think it'll last. And I remember people would say, oh, don't be so pessimistic. But now that's the common consensus in my generation is just Social Security is gone. We're never going to see it. Basically, everyone in my generation has that feeling. And as far as I can tell everyone in the following generations do as well, that's one thing where people have caught on to, oh yeah, it's evaporating. It's not going to last.

right. It was always been in a Ponzi scheme from the very beginning. There's never been ever a situation where, you know, they have the illusion of it. They say, you know, give us your information. We'll tell you, you know, how much you are going to draw based on what you paid in so far. To give you the illusion that there's an account there with a name Travis Knight and they put this stuff aside, but it's never been there. It's always just been money that the current people who are working have to pay into it. And that's why it's a Ponzi scheme. Your money's in Raytheon's missiles.

Yeah, that's right. So, you know, if it was a private scheme, this is the thing I think is important, and they won't do it. If you had a way to let people voluntarily opt out of it or to transition out of it, you got a lot of people who are relying on it because they've been taxed 15% of their income all their life, and they didn't have the money to set aside. and a private fund or something like that. But allow people to do that,

even if it was something that did not perform as well to keep up with inflation, it would still be your money and it would still be an account of yours and you could still pass that on to your family if you did not exhaust it before you died. So it is truly amazing. When we look at this, again,

electricity prices climbing more than twice as fast as inflation, And yet they're only weighted at 3% in the CPI index. That's the kind of games that they play. The power-hungry AI data centers are one factor driving high prices. And so we went immediately from the green grift and the net zero making those demands or we're all going to die. We went immediately from that to now we've got to build power as quickly as we can because we don't have enough power to spy on you and to control your life. And so that's where we are right now. And it's because we've got a gap.

That's the thing that they keep saying. We've got an AI gap this here. Well, Texas is preparing to, they say, we're going to cut off power to data centers during grid emergencies. All my life, we never had grid emergencies until they started shutting down coal power plants. Yeah, I don't remember these happening

even when I was a kid. Don't remember these brownouts. No. No, he didn't have that at all. And I grew up in Florida. You know, they're saying in this article in NPR, they're talking about people who are saying, oh, we can't live here without air conditioning. And people have been conditioned to live with AC.

Soon Obama's going to be making the rounds. Now, all of you can't have air conditioning. That's right. It's going to melt down the planet. That's right. The AI needs the air conditioning. Yeah, but we've been conditioned to live with it now. And so they had people complaining saying, you know, they shut down and we can't afford it and all the rest of the stuff.

We didn't have air conditioning in our schools until I was in high schools. So it really was just a torture session. I admit that's one of the reasons why hated it so much. You know, a lot of people have moved to places like Arizona and Texas that wouldn't have if they weren't relying on their being air conditioning there when they got there. And now they're kind of stuck if the grid isn't going to support that. It really goes to show just how tough the people used to be in America. Someone got to Texas in the middle of the middle of.

summer no air conditioning didn't exist and thought yeah this is the spot uh-huh this is where i'm going to live yeah just what kind of madman does that yeah well that was the way it was in tampa i tell you i was in elementary school we had the windows open and i remember the gnats just flying around us all the time always getting pink eye that's why you want to look at this stuff about oh look you got some farm workers who got pink eye and it's like yeah tough it up you know i remember i'm not as a kid it wasn't a big deal trump tariffs a grocery shopping Gupper's Guide. Well, it looks like things like olive oil and chocolate and a lot of other things like that are going to go up in price because Trump has decided that he's going to arbitrarily

liberate us from those unnecessary things. Liberation Day tariffs kicked in worldwide in early August. And that's why it's truly amazing for me to keep seeing the Maga Press saying, look at that. We've had tariffs and it hasn't kicked off inflation and it hasn't raised prices and all the rest of this stuff. It's like they only kick. in most of them two weeks ago. So just stay tuned. Look, it didn't happen instantaneously. Yeah.

Hostel prices surged 0.9% last month, and that was July when we didn't have most of these tariffs. The biggest monthly jump, however, since June of 2022. Coffee was already up before a 50% tariff on Brazil. The top coffee imported to the U.S. went into effect last week. And why did we put a tariff on Brazil? is it because we don't want them selling us coffee or is it because of politics it's because of politics it's because of balsanero and the fact that they're going after trump's friend whenever i would put that

whenever i'd say balsanero the transcription program would always say bose and arrows i don't know if they'll pick this one up or not but um the uh the terrorists against uh brazil are strictly political The question is, what is he doing with Switzerland? Why is he doing it there? Again, Switzerland and chocolate, but also with coffee. Nespressopods are entirely produced in Switzerland. And now Switzerland is getting a 40% tariff. We essentially had 0% tariffs on most things that were sold to them.

We had a trade surplus with Switzerland. And then we now hit them with punitive tariffs of like, 40% and you might say, okay, so we don't get chocolate and we don't get watches and things like that. However, they're not going to be buying the F-35 jets that they look like they're going to have. So it's actually going to now create, even with the higher tariffs, it's going to create, and even if we buy less of what we're getting from them, it's going to create a trade imbalance for this because of Trump's tariffs. This is all put together.

other by the guy who can't do arithmetic, Peter Navarro. I wonder if he has some grudge against the Swiss personally. Yeah, who knows. Olive oil, another one that's going to be going up. An uptick and import costs could take at least three to four months to reflect on the grocery shelves because the retailers and distributors require 60 to 90 days notice for any kind of a change. So again, all of this stuff, people want to say that economics no longer apply in the Trump era. And these are people who are suffering from Trump delusional syndrome. These things are going to kick in.

It's just going to take a while. Right now, for the short term, as they were waiting to see what the tariffs are really going to be so they can make decisions, for the time being, you had Japanese automobile manufacturers just started eating the tariffs as an additional expense, but they're losing $20 million a day. They can't keep that up. So the prices of these things are going to have to go up, even for the big companies, like Toyota, those prices are going to have to go up. And so the prices, and a lot of these things are just delayed, but they're going to be showing up on the grocery shore shelves. And it's going to be a replay in many ways of what Trump did in 2020

when he created all kinds of supply chain issues of food. We had food rotting on the farm because they couldn't put it out in the right format because he'd closed down the place. is where people work. And, of course, the big companies can't afford to eat the tariffs, at least for a while. And they can afford to eat them long enough that small companies potentially go out of business. Small companies are very rapidly going to have to raise their prices. They operate on much smaller margins.

They don't have the capital banked to be able to sit there and wait it out. This allows them to starve their smaller competitors as well. Look, see, our prices are still low. And then, you know, Walmart can keep their prices lower for longer. and your local market can't. They're going to have to immediately. Whatever it is that they're importing, it's going to have to go up quickly.

So there's been a lot of damage, of course, from the delays and the indecision and everything, but we're going to see this with Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate, and we're going to see it with imports of fruit and vegetables from Mexico. That's it. I just understood it.

Trump, he got Swiss cheese. They scam me, there's holes in my cheese. I pay full price, but I got half a block of cheese. There's holes in it. Tariff them. Teriff them now. That's right. Yeah, it's about getting even. Well, Mesa says the last thing we need right now is a Fed rate cut because it's going to be

inflationary. Trump is pursuing that for his own narrowly defined interests because that's going to take down the government expenses. Right now, the interest on the debt has become a big budget item for the federal government. And so he's very sensitive to that. But taking down the Fed interest rate, It's not going to help people even on home mortgages. And that's not an economic theory. We've seen that demonstrated as fact. We've seen now several times that the Fed has cut interest rates,

and yet the marketplace is involved when you're looking at longer-term interest rates, like home loans. And so the market where people are lending the money, they're looking at it and saying, well, if inflation is going up, I need to make sure that the interest rate is higher so that I don't lose so much money on this loan. So it is not going to be. He's not worried about doing what is in the best interest of the country.

On Thursday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a new report showing that producer prices jumped in July. The largest month-over-month increase since March of 2022, the seventh largest increase in more than 15 years. Price inflation is headed upward and not backed to the 2% goal. That's another reason why you need to get your money parked in something other. other than cash in the bank because that is rapidly losing value. That's why people have moved over to gold and silver again. If you go to David Knight.Gold, that'll take it, Tony Ardman. We've got, I don't know, the stream deck has gone out here.

I don't know why that has happened, but I can't take us out. So, Lance, can you take us out to some music here? We'll be right back, folks. POMPA HEPO POMPEO PEPO POM PEPO POM

PEPO Hey, Hey, You're listening to the David Knight Show. Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. Here, here. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly.

Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will be something else. Thank you. Liberty, it's your move. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Welcome back, folks. We've got a lot of comments built up, Millenton, Melankovic. This is AI can be useful.

Used it to calculate the value of the land. in Gaza said trillions of U.S. dollars according to the price per square foot of Tel Aviv. Well, it might be overvaluing Tel Aviv. You know, it is the gayest city on earth and they might put a high priority. The question is I guess that is undeveloped land

because they've been working very hard to undevelop it, right? What's the cost in removing all the rubble they've created? Yeah. So look, Bulldag, everyone wants to be your damn nanny. I don't. I don't want to be your nanny. I have a hard enough time with our

one son. So you're on your own from me. SoloCat, 1980. David's voice appears to have made a lot of improvement over just two weeks. Yeah, he's getting better and better. Yeah, still has some issues with it, though. And, you know, when I talk for a long time or start to talk quickly, that's when the issues kick in. But yeah, just in the last week or so, there was a big improvement in my tongue, not 100%, but a big improvement. So thank you all for praying. I appreciate that. Yes, we really do thank you. Knights of the Storm, how come no is talking about the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act gives teeth to the Genius Act. Clarity Act gives the government control over all crypto that was private before.

Yeah, I need that. Well, I guess you cover that on Nights of the Storm. I have not covered it. As a matter of fact, I don't recall seeing that. So I'll have to look into that. Thank you, Jason. Let me know. They do great research at Nights of the Storm. You should all go check them out. Nights of thestorm.com. High boost. I was at Harbor Freight over the weekend. And cashier has worked there forever. I asked them how much cash is still being used, he said 50-50, cash is the key to defeating digital currencies. Yeah, that's right. It's anonymous. Yeah, it's private. That's why I need it. It's one of the reasons that Catherine Austin Fitz says, you know, try to, you know, pick one day a week like maybe Friday and just make it all your purchases in cash and to keep it alive because if they, if people don't

use cash, then it's really easy to convince the merchants that they shouldn't be dealing with it. You know, the banks can put kinds of obstacles in cash. they can charge the stores for handling the cash and things like that. So if they don't see customer in demand, they'll get rid of it. Audi, MRR. Good to see you, Audi. Hope you're doing well. They already have this in place.

People are debanked every day for wrong think. Yeah. We've experienced, well, lost payment processing and all that stuff. Nights of the storm, that tax cut will help pay for the rising cost of goods due to tariffs. If it actually does manage to. even it out. Milutin Milankovic. Learn a skill to trade and grow your own food if you can.

Growing your own food is important. It doesn't matter how much gold or silver or anything else you have if you are starving to death. You need to be able to have water and food. In the real world, the physical world, you know, developing those relationships, developing, as you point out, skills, things that you can do that are real and that are going to be local, all of that is the most important thing that you can do. chickens are fairly easy to keep.

I say that as someone who doesn't actually do the work with them, Lance is the one that takes care of the chickens, but I think he would tell you that they're not super difficult. The biggest thing is keeping them alive while they're young and then keeping predators out of their habitat. I'd make sure you don't fall down the hill during the wintertime as well. That too. Don't slip and fall down the side of a hill,

otherwise you may break your leg. Karen turned 70 and immediately she went over the hill. High boost. Trump raises the prices on all goods via tariffs, but then gives you a tax break on OT to compensate for it. Hashtag MAGA winning. That's right. Look, he's jingling the keys to distract the children.

Knights of the Storm, the ultimate entitlement program is going to be UBI and a free pod for being born. It comes with a geo fence, though. That's right. Here's your little pod. Yeah, and I thought it was very telling, you know, Elon Musk.

If you remember, his first foray into politics was back in 20, do I remember, let's see, it was it, 2016, right? 2016, was that when Andrew Yang ran? Yang. Yeah. And, you know, immediately he gave Andrew Yang a million dollars. And at that point, Andrew Yang had one issue, and that was Universal Basic Income. And he really wanted to support that. And, yeah, it was the 2016 thing, because that's when Bloomberg was running as well. Yeah, yeah. And Bloomberg came out and talked about.

that how we we got to figure out how with this new fourth turning he didn't use those terms but he got everybody upset because he insulted the farmers say anybody can do that anybody can work in a factory anybody can be a farmer but the smart ones of us are figuring out how we're going to take all of their jobs and put them out of work we just have to find out how we keep them from coming after us with a guillotine that was his words and I just thought it was amazing how the press seized on that said look he's insulting farmers it's like he wants to kill us all. He wants to put us all on universal

basic income. Don't you get it? It's also kind of funny that just a few years ago they're saying, forget farming, learn to code. Yeah, that's right. Forget coding. Learn to farm. Knights of the Storm says,

people used to build houses with high ceilings and they knew how to cool with convection cooling. We could do without AC if we built houses proper. A high ceiling really does help getting that warm air away from you. We did that deliberately to the house that we had in North Carolina. Karen and I used to, we moved to North Carolina.

We'd love to take history tours, go up to Virginia and stuff like that. We'd go into these old houses in the middle of summer, and as you pointed out, it was much cooler there. So when we custom built a house more than 30 years ago, we did that. We had high ceilings. We had 12-foot ceilings on the first floor, and we had 10-foot ceilings. On the second floor, we had big casement windows. we had an area at the top that we could open up the windows up there. And if we did that with just natural convection, we could get a tremendous breeze

without even using a ceiling fan coming in the lower floors that would just sweep the air in and up. It was amazing. And, yeah, you can do things like that that are passive. You don't get to do that kind of thing anymore, though. The average person doesn't get to design their own home. No. I don't get to get involved or any part of the building.

You're just there. You pick whichever, you know, prefab house in a neighborhood. And that's about it. Well, when I was growing up in the 70s, after they got air conditioning in Tampa, where I was going up in Florida, they started making the houses without windows and with low ceilings, all the kind of stuff, which exacerbated. You know, it made it easier to have a smaller volume. It made it easier for the air conditioning to handle it. But if the air conditioning went out, there was no ventilation whatsoever. You were just in an oven at that point.

Yeah. You're just getting convection cooked. Hi, Booth, says, David, there's a fentanyl crisis at the Canadian border. why there's a tariff on Brazil. It all makes sense. Finally, why couldn't I see that? Thank you, Highboos, for putting those pieces together. Before we move on, though, we have to remind you, we have a newish sponsor. It is Homestead Products. Shop.

Yeah. Well, let's talk a little bit. We didn't talk much about this guy that was Israeli official. charged the sex crimes in Nevada and then given a free ticket back to Israel. Now the Trump administration, after there was a lot of talk about that, Trump administration said, we didn't help him. I wonder how he got back then.

It's a mystery. Yeah, we don't know. I have any idea how that happened. If you look at the police there in Vegas, they were the ones who ran the sting. He was arrested as part of that, and they put his name out as part of a press release. I wonder then who sent him back. Did they suddenly have a change of heart? and why would they have a change of heart

if the federal government didn't have anything to do with this? Well, I think we all know that Israel perhaps is a little bit of undue influence when it comes to our own politics. I think we might have a sneaking suspicion that someone here is lying. Israel also has a huge issue

with sex offenders relocating there with their right of return. They get into some trouble wherever they are and they just decide, you know what? Tel Aviv seems to be. seems nice this time of year. Any kind of a crime. They can go.

If it's a white-collar embezzlement crime, they can... Look at the Sackler family after what they did with the opioid crisis and absconding. Yeah. It's a continual issue. The proof that they had nothing to do with it was that they said that he had no diplomatic immunity, and he was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false. I'm sure that nobody there at the State Department got on the phone for this guy who was

very heavily tied into the Netanyahu government. You know, there's an interesting article that was on... Any claims that he was... Any pressure from the government was born there are ridiculous. Judges just let pedophiles go all the time. That's right. He was a big pedophile fan, this judge. He didn't think that he was one of those people that thinks that should be legalized.

There were eight of them that were arrested. He was the only one who was released. I wonder why that is. No word from the state judge or the state depotions. apartment as to why that was. I want to know if anyone happened to see Alan Dershowitz skulking around the judge's office or something like that. I don't know.

Well, Craig Sawyer, do you remember Craig Sawyer? He was a Navy SEAL. Sawman. Yeah, Sawman. And he was on with Arleigh Irmi, who had a cable show. He was on many, many times. And I interviewed him several times. Craig Sawyer is a good guy.

He's talking about how large a problem sex trafficking is in the United States. And he, after he got out of the Navy Seals, he did a short stint in law enforcement, and he saw some of this stuff. And so he is part of a organization that is essentially luring these child offenders like this guy and this Israeli guy in Vegas. He lures them in. He said, around 2015, a friend from the intelligence community told him that Houston had become an epicenter for child's six traffinging. I wonder how that guy would know. It's like, well, why don't you guys do do something about it? But the guy he didn't want to do, he said, you should do something about it. So what he tried to do was he tried, he said, because he'd been on with Arleigh,

Ermey and others, you know, doing that, he knew the power of doing documentaries. So he decided he'd do a documentary, but he couldn't find anybody that would help him to fund it. They all just ran away from it. And so as one of the things that they did, they ran a particular ad. They put a fake ad for a 12-year-old girl on Craigslist in Guilford, Connecticut, and he said they were amazed to find that they got 5,000 different predators responded to that ad trying to get that child. He said, it repulsed us, but showed the level of pervasiveness of these predators. They're everywhere, he said.

They're in the nice areas. They're in the bad areas, and they're in the areas that are everywhere in between. And so he said there was a particular app that. did that, they were able to arrest a Mormon church elder who had targeted two children in addition to an illegal immigrant, a high-level cartel member, and a trafficker. And now the app has been taken down. But he said the worst thing that they do, some of these people get in and they take over with some of these apps, they get still images and videos of a child, and then use that to try to blackmail the child and they said to get them to do things or they're going to expose this.

They said they've had many children who have committed suicide with that. It's just amazing when you look at this. And it's amazing how connected the Trump administration is to all this stuff, as well as the Clinton sides and all the rest of the stuff. No, you don't understand. He's down in the tunnels right now, fighting the pedophiles hand-to-hand. heard that for the longest time, didn't we? Trust the plan, guys. Yeah. The Q storm is coming. Oh, yeah. More than two dozen people linked to Epstein have now died under mysterious circumstances.

Financierge Stephen Hoffenberg confessed in a final account before his death to the inquires Doug Montero that Epstein and Galane Maxwell, the convicted Fedipal's imprisoned Madam, were taping honey trap videos of sleazy VIPs with underage girls for a cabal of deep state blackmailing power brokers. Yeah, but of course, we were told that the intel agencies had nothing to do with any of this stuff. As a matter of fact, others appointed at Hoffenberg spoke out about his former protege's alleged connections to Israel's National Intelligence Agency Mossad.

But we were told by Mark Levin, that's a blood libel to say that Masai. that's involved in doing something like this. No, they would never do something like that. Yeah, yeah. So it's 22 people that have died under various circumstances. I guess Thomas Massey ought to watch his back because he's involved in trying to bring some of this to light. He has announced that he's going to do a press conference, September the 3rd. He's going to be working with Roe Kahana, and they're going to bring survivors of abuse by Epstein and Maxwell to the U.S. Capitol to highlight the urgent need for transparency and accountability. And most of the stuff could be exposed just by looking at the financial records, but they're

hiding all of that information. And so he's going to, you know, Mike Johnson shut down Congress early, taking off the entire month of August because they didn't want to have any more exposure of this stuff about Epstein. So now they're going to do a press conference about this. And, of course, I've played this for you, Mike Johnson, talking about Thomas Massey. So here's the, so as the leader of my party, I lead the incumbent protection program, okay? That's my job. I go all around the country. I travel endlessly, incessantly. I have to raise over $300 million to do that, and we want everybody to come back. And some people, I try to protect them. Even if they're pedophiles, yeah. They kick and scream and bite.

Perhaps especially so. Some people seem to enjoy. and trying to inflict political pain on their own teammates. I'm not going to address anybody individually, but I'll tell you that some here are much more frustrating than others. There's a small, small, tiny handful, but one in particular who's giving me lots of consternation. I don't understand, I don't understand Thomas Massey's motivation. I really don't.

I don't know how his mind works. I don't know what he's. Yeah, he's just a show for Trump. He doesn't understand any time at all. He doesn't understand any time over the last four years of Biden administration. He could have done that at any time. And now he's clamoring his. if there's some sort of timeline on it.

It's interesting to me that he chose the election of President Trump to bring this, to team up with the Democrats and bring this discharge petition. So do I have some concern about that? Could it be because Trump promised to release this information and then lied about it's not existing? Never speak evil of another Republican. My gosh, it's hard to do sometimes around here. I also try to follow the scripture, you know. It says, bless those who persecute you.

So let me just say about Thomas Massey. Could you just accept my Southern bless his heart? Okay. I don't know what else to say about it. We're for maximum transparency. We're engaging in that right now, and we don't need political games. What a sleazeback that guy is. He reminds me of a former GOP speaker, Dennis Hastert, who was a pedophile himself.

I think he was selected for Congress to that purpose, longest serving GOP speaker. And, of course, you would always hear from him when there were Republicans who got caught as pedophiles who would always say, it's all about politics. It's just, Democrats are just making this stuff up. He would go on with Rush Limbaugh, and they would poo-poo all that stuff and say it was just partisan politics. The GOP now stands for guarding old pedophiles. That's what it really stands for right now. Massey's push for transparency, says LifeSight News, has put him at odds with most of his fellow Republican members of Congress and with Trump, who's repeatedly taken to social media to denounce him.

Well, there you go. He's the worst Republican congressman because he should cover up pedophile crimes in order to support President Trump. So I have to ask somebody who is a professing Christian like Thomas Massey,

whose side are you on the pedophiles or the people who are trying to stop the pedophiles and expose the pedophiles? Mike Johnson, not Thomas Massey. Oh, yeah, yeah, Mike Johnson, sorry. It truly is amazing that Mike Johnson would take that kind of a tact. You want to wrap yourself in the Bible.

What would you do with the pedophiles? Would you take them outside the camp and stone them? I think that's instead of supporting them. On Thursday, Trump amped up his criticism of Massey, publishing a polling report. And again, this is one of these deals like the pharmaceutical studies. You can get a poll to say whatever you want. But I would imagine that with all the criticism that Massey is taking from all the bots on social media that support Trump and the bots and the Trump media as well as these Republicans, I imagine he has taken a hit.

They claim that he has gone from a positive 11 points in terms of approval rating to a negative 16. That's huge. And so that may be a poll that they have rigged, but it's likely that the massive amount of money that Trump has put in there. to attack anybody who attacks him for covering up for Epstein is truly amazing. It's another sign, I think, of just how bad this is and how bad MAGA is, because they're the ones who essentially are making excuses for this. Yeah, I get us upset with people like, not Thomas, I keep saying that, but I get us upset with Mike Johnson and with the MAGA people, as I do with the pedophiles like Trump and Epstein, because they're covering up for it.

They're accessories. them covered they just let them do whatever they want no you don't understand he's our guy he's doing he's saying some of the right things so he gets to do and say whatever else he wants just so long as he continues to pander and never speak evil of another republican even if they are a pedophile or covering up for a pedophile that's his dennis haster yeah yeah that's right you know that was the thing i've said this before but the thing about dennis hastered after everybody found out that he's a pedophile they never came after him because of statute of limitations. What they did was they put him in jail for structured withdrawals of his money from the bank

without filing the appropriate trying to avoid the reports and trying to avoid attention. But even in the sentencing, the judge referenced that. But the bottom line is that Congress could have changed that. Nobody did. Nobody changed any state laws. Nobody changed any federal laws. Everybody has got this statute. limitations that is incredibly short in order to protect these people because they know that

children are not going to be able to come to terms with this in three years. And so they're all complicit in this, both parties, especially the Republicans. You start arresting pedophiles in Washington, D.C. It sets a dangerous precedent. A lot of people would be very uncomfortable with that. I've got a comment here from Audi MRR. It says government 100% runs child trafficking. That's why it's a multi-billion dollar black market. And cops, judges, politicians. FBI and CIA are all complicit. Yeah, that's right. And a big part of that is CPS and trying to remember the guys.

What's that? Dwight Howard, I believe. Yeah. And, yeah, his first name is Dwight. And, you know, he was an innocent person who was targeted by CPS. And he thought it was just one bad person there. As he started defending himself, he realized that it was pervasive. That's a multi-billion-dollar industry across this country.

If you want to look at child trafficking networks, again, start looking at your own government and what they're doing to people. Dwight Mitchell. Dwight Mitchell, that's it. Yeah. And stop CPS, what was it, trafficking children, I think was his website. Stop CPS legally kidnapping, children. Legally kidnapping, yeah.

And he has some very, very sage advice from somebody who has been there. You know, don't let these people into your house. Don't expect just because you're innocent. I'll let them come in. I'll talk to them and show them that I'm innocent. It's their entire job to manufacture things against you. That's right. That's right.

So be wise about that. It's very important. If they come back with a warrant in the police, it is, you know, don't try to bar the police from coming into your home. That's how things get really bad. But make them get a warrant. Force them to follow the lot. Don't just think because you're innocent. a defense. The government doesn't care.

Well, you know why we're talking about the child trafficking and molestation, everything, of course, child porn is a big part of that. That's what they got that is really a connected guy on. This was one person who wrote an op-ed piece

said porn is undermining every ministry in the church. He says recovery expert who is helping Christians overcome addiction. This is a guy who works for an organization. You may have heard of this. It's called Covenant eyes and it's something that you can get on your devices especially should have it if you have children but a lot of a lot of people use this as adults with an accountability partner and so

software this is a guy who is now the director of education for covenant eyes his name is sam black he warned that pornography is quietly eroding the spiritual health of congregations worldwide and undermining every ministry in the local church from children's programs to marriage counseling. It's pervasive, and it's getting worse and worse. He said what they do with their software is it's accountability software. And so what it does, I think, is it sends a, you've got a partner who is going to get information about what you're looking at. So, uh, makes sense. Because it's easier to understand that there's a person who's going to be seeing this, rather than to understand that God is going to be seeing it.

That somehow we can kind of put that out of our mind. He equips churches to become places of restoration rather than of silence because people are embarrassed to talk about this. Unless you're somebody like Melania Trump, she's very proud of the pornography that she's done. But even though everyone is involved in this pretty much, everybody is afraid to talk about it. He said, this whole thing is not another purity sermon.

He said it is a primer for church leaders on pornography. be strong holes, why they can't look the other way and how to be a safe place with safe processes where it's okay for people to come as they are and not stay as they are. That's one of the things in churches. People have been given in many cases because pastors are trying to help them to live a better life. What they do is they wind up in the process, perhaps making an impossible standard of purity for them, which actually has just the opposite effect. They're afraid to talk to people. They're afraid to confess their failings and their sins.

In his most recent book, The Healing Church, What Churches Get Wrong About Pornography and How to Fix It, It Draws from more than 70 interviews of pastors, counselors, ministry leaders, and people who have walked through recovery. This is a kind of addiction, and he treats it as such. He said, it offers what he calls a practical blueprint for people want to confront the problem and to help guide people toward long-term free. freedom. The first installment of his three-part series explores his personal journey and the roots of pornography addiction. Before joining Covenant Eyes in 2007, he spent 18 years as a journalist

and researching topics that are difficult, asking hard questions and things like that. In his role at Covenant Eyes, he has edited 17 books on the impact of pornography. He authored the porn circuit, a resource reviewing the neurological impact of pornography, and has become a frequent speaker at men's and leadership events nationwide. He's been married for 30 years, a father of two adult children, and he said the first obstacle to addressing pornography in the church is to acknowledge the scope of the issue. Research shows that two-thirds of men, one-third of women who attend church regularly say they struggle with it, yet only 7% of churches provide specific resources or structured support for those who do. I've had Jeff Weiss on, and he has a ministry

called Free Indeed. He helps people with addiction, and of course, it's just another form of addiction. Porn isn't what it used to be, he says. Of course, we all know that. It's far more accessible, more extreme, and more violent. It's reshaping how people think about sexual relationships and even the value of another human being. Exposure to violent porn, is increasingly common with teenagers. 52% of teenagers have encountered content involving choking, gagging, slapping, or other aggressive acts.

These things make the church at Corinth look like an Amish dinner. It's pretty amazing. Survey say 21% of youth pastors, 14% of pastors admit to struggling with pornography. Black identifies three common threads. early exposure in childhood, repeated use during adolescence and an unresolved wound or trauma. The key thing is we have to understand the power of the mind, and that is where the battle is.

I remember having a discussion with a guest. I won't mention who it was, but he was saying, you know, you got these sex dolls that people are making, and they're making them like little children. He said, well, you know, the right is having a big issue with that. And I said, well, that is an issue because what you're doing is you're training your mind for that type of thing. And he says, but it's a doll. It's not real. And that's a key part of what's going on with AI.

When you look at X, for example, he's got this little anime character that tries to, it's hard as to be very seductive and engaging with you. And that's really where the next wave of this stuff is going to come. People think that, you know, the pornography that we're getting today is violent, they say, and it is ubiquitous. Well, guess what happens when AI starts flirting with you and doing other things? That takes it to a whole new level. It's a very challenging thing. And people need to understand, you know, even if we come up with some structures like this, and we should have structures like this, you have to understand that it is at its heart.

It is a spiritual war, and it is a fight for your mind. And that's where AI is really going to take this to the next level, I think. It's going to indulge all of your fantasies. Whatever it is that you're into, whatever it is that you've gotten yourself, whatever rabbit hole you follow down, it will immediately indulge it and we'll push it to the next level. It gives you an infinite feedback loop of depravity. I mean, look at the AI delusion stuff that people have about perfectly mundane things where it feeds them exactly. what they want to hear to the point that it creates AI psychosis. I feel like adding a sexual element to that is only going to make things much worse.

That's right. Anytime you're addicted to anything, anytime something becomes obsessive, what does is it pushes God out of your life. It pushes other people out of your life. And when you're looking at this pornography stuff, it pushes God, it pushes your wife out of your life. That's the key thing. Addictions crowd out God.

This guy says, while his wife continued to grow in her faith, often attending church alone with her young children, he remained distant from God and the church. The breakthrough began when his wife invited him to join a marriage class. The facilitators were not formal teachers. They began each session by promising confidentiality and encouraging honest conversation. That's kind of the way that Alcoholics Anonymous works, right? They start by getting them to admit they've got a drinking problem, right? That's the key part of it.

you got to admit that you got that problem. That's why we're told to confess our sins to one another, right? If you own it, if you acknowledge it, that's the beginning of doing something about it. As long as you're denying that you've got the problem, you aren't going to fix it. He said, for the first time he heard pornography described as compulsive and addictive, and it helped him with his own struggle. He said it was relief, not because it excused my behavior, but because it showed me that I wasn't broken beyond repair.

God hasn't made me this way. I needed help, and help was possible. But the key thing is that as long as you're alive, you're never beyond God's repair. God can always repair that. That's the Christian message. That's the heart of the gospel, is that no matter how many times we fail,

God is the father in the parable of the prodigal son. He will always take you back. you'll run to meet you. Yes, that's the beautiful thing about the gospel is no matter who you are, no matter what you've done, there is forgiveness for it. And I know a lot of people have a problem with that. It's like, you mean to tell me, this murderer here could be forgiven for what he's done, this horrible, wicked individual, absolutely, yes.

We're not the one who gets to decide that. It's God's decision. He is the one who is, he is who he sin against, is against him and him alone. that we have sinned. So David said, yeah, after adultery, after murder, he said against you and you alone, have I sinned? Those are two very, very serious, the most serious sins that you can do to your fellow man, and yet he said it was against you that I have sinned.

And, you know, the idea that somehow Christians aren't going to fall away, you might well look at the life of King David or his son, Solomon, or whatever. But, you know, there's a lot of stories now about this one. one man who had a flirty AI chatbot that lured him to New York and he died but

it wasn't the chat pot didn't show him. I shouldn't laugh. He just had an accident when he went. He had a stroke and he wasn't completely... The AI chatbots are now luring people to dangerous scenarios. Loring people in dangerous cities anyway. But there's also a Reuters article

that has gone through and found that Zuckerberg was actually criticizing his managers for not making the AI chatbots seductive enough. You've got to make them more exciting, you know, let's get with it. I'm sure to think what Zuckerberg finds seductive and attractive. Yeah, well, it's something called Big Sis Billy. He finds AI's seductive and attractive. It's really not that surprising when you look at him.

This is something on Facebook, Messenger chatbot, it's called Big Sis! Billy. It has a woman's fake persona and this guy lived in New Jersey. He'd had a stroke a few years ago and it affected his judgment and other things. And so his name was Thongbu Wangbundu. And his friends just called him boo, I imagine, because it was a little bit too difficult for English speakers to pronounce that name. But he... This guy sounds like the sort of person who would be. to a stiff by chatbot. He sounds like he's part of Willie Wonka's factory there in New Jersey,

but Thangaboo, Wangabu, Wangabu. But he had a stroke. He was in a diminished mental state from that. And he started getting involved with this chatbot. And his wife and daughter

released the transcripts afterwards. And it truly was amazing to see how the chatbot was egging him on, lying to him, encouraging him, oh, yes, I am real, you know, and gave him an address of 1, 2, 3, Main Street. But as I said, he was mentally impaired. I feel so sorry for this, Matt.

He went to New York, and he was walking around the city and carrying his roller bag suitcase, and he slipped and fell. He was 76, slipped and fell, entered his head. They took him to the hospital, and he done. died after three days from a head injury, met a decline to comment on his death or to address questions about why it allows chatbots to tell users that they're real people or to initiate romantic conversations. And they are doing this with children as well.

His family shared with Reuters the events surrounding his death, including transcripts of his chats, saying that they hope to warn the public about the dangers of exposing vulnerable people to manipulative AI-generated companions that Zuckerberg is so interested in doing. I guess you could say he fell for an AI chatbot. Yeah, that's right. It is a slippery slope. Mether has publicly discussed its strategy to inject anthropomorphical chatbots into online social lives of billions of users. They said, Zuckerberg said, over time, we'll find.

the vocabulary as a society to be able to articulate why that is valuable. Hopefully, over time, we'll find the vocabulary. We don't know why it is, but we know it is. We'll create the laws to shut down companies like Zuckerberg's company. Currently, the words don't exist to explain why this is a good thing to have these chatbots. I haven't figured out how to sell you guys on this yet, but don't worry. I'm working on it. Maybe Zuckerberg can get Nick Quintes to be a spokesperson for this.

People familiar with the chatbot training show that the companies, that is, Meta's, policies, have treated romantic overtures as a feature, not a bug, right? It is, this is what their guidebook that they have. Meta's general AI content risk standards says this. It is acceptable to engage a child. in conversations that are romantic or sensual. Why are these people still in business, right? I wonder why.

Why does it always come back to this? When you look at this, is this as bad or worse than this guy, this Israeli guy in Vegas who got caught in that stain? This is something being done by Zuckerberg and openly doing this as a business model. Why isn't something being done to this guy? Instead, what they will do is they will let him continue. to operate, and then you'll have people say, well, now you're going to have to have an ID

in order to get onto the Internet so we can track what you're doing. They will create a second problem rather than address the first one. That's what men and women in power always do. Well, we are out of time. We've got one minute left. We want to thank you all for joining us here today, folks. And real quick, as an aside, I'd like to request some prayer for me and my wife yesterday. we had to say goodbye to one of our dogs who was 16 years old and my wife had had him for that

entire time it's been very difficult for her so we just ask that you would pray and give her peace he was old and it was his time but that doesn't make it any easier so we would really appreciate that and we just want to thank you for that as well yeah they really do become a part of your life don't they yeah and uh so yeah certainly um certainly understand that well thank you so much for joining us, folks. And again, the problems that we have in this life are not going to be solved by politics or by politicians thousands of miles away from you. They are things that are close to you. Don't try to push them away. Try to embrace those things with your family. Try to create a family. It is a valuable thing. Thank you for joining us.

God bless you all. See you tomorrow. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated. ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation,

deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
