As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 5th of March, year of our Lord 2025. Well today, we're going to take a look at the big announcement about the Panama Canal. We have an American company.

Starting point is 00:02:12 Did you know that Black Rock is an American company? It came as a surprise to me. They don't have American values, whatever. I mean it's the headquartered in the US, so what? They're going to be taking the Panama Canal and we're gonna be taking a look at the tariff wars and we're gonna take a look at the history of tariffs in the United States and ask ourselves what is it exactly that Trump is trying to do with these tariffs what are they designed to do also take a look at Alex Karp's new book, The Technological Republic.

Starting point is 00:02:46 Uh-huh. Yeah, it's the technocracy. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Well, we had Trump address Congress last night, and probably I guess the biggest and most important thing other than self-congratulatory, we're winning really big, is the fact that now we're taking back the Panama Canal. Well, not actually we. Blackrock is taking it. And isn't this the hallmark of what we're seeing over and over again? It's what we're going to be seeing with everything in this Trump administration. I think we're going to see the 21st century version of the robber barons.

Starting point is 00:03:59 And this is the headline. U.S. firm agrees to buy Panama Canal ports at the center of the Trump fury. Social Security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal and we've already started doing it. Oh standing ovation. Just. Yesterday a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other canals. Well, the reality is is that they are

Starting point is 00:04:40 you know, it's two ports around the Panama Canal. Not actually the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal is owned by the Panamanian government operated by them. So it's two ports. These two ports were owned by a company out of Hong Kong since 1997. He didn't have a problem with this the first time around for some reason. I don't understand what it was about. Just like, you know, he didn't want to make Canada the 51st state first time around. Some new priorities here. So it is now our our favorite corporation BlackRock. So what do you think MAGA people? You guys love BlackRock don't you? You've complained about them and rightfully so for a long time about the fact that they've got

Starting point is 00:05:21 leverage with virtually all of the major corporations. If you wanna go back and look at the Moriarty that is pulling the strings of ESG and DEI and all the rest of this stuff throughout corporate America, all of that stuff goes back to Larry Fink and BlackRock. It may be that this rapid adoption of or should say this rapid abandonment of ESG and other things like that, perhaps that was Larry Fink pulling their strings, telling them, �I�ve got this deal I want to do with Trump for the Panama Canal, so just tone it down for the time being. We�ll come back stronger later.�

Starting point is 00:06:02 And Black Rock will come back stronger later. BlackRock has agreed to buy two ports at either end of the Panama Canal from a Hong Kong based firm whose ownership has angered President Donald Trump to CNN. Trump cited Chinese ownership of some of the port operations as a sign that China is now running the canal again. No, no. Two ports on either end of the canal, but this has been run by them since 1997, even before Hong Kong was swallowed up by China. The deal, and it's the same company, the deal announced Tuesday calls for Blackrock and a consortium of fellow investors to spend $22.8 billion to buy the ports of Balboa and Cristobal on either end of the canal from CK Hutchinson, a Hong Kong company

Starting point is 00:06:52 that's had it since 1997. BlackRock's consortium is also buying CK Hutchinson's controlling interest in 43 other ports comprising 199 bers in 23 countries. So the question is, why are Republicans cheering this? This is like selling it to Bill Gates, or worse. I don't know which is worse. I mean, they control assets between the big three. I mean, they control assets between the big three. They control most of the assets in the world. They have $11 trillion of assets, but that's spread out, so he's got a big chunk in control for all of these corporations so he can jerk their strings around.

Starting point is 00:07:38 He doesn't need to own 100% of the company. Just a sizable chunk of it so he can jerk it around. And let me ask you, is a Trump administration 2.0, does Maghameen make America grift again? Because that's what it's turning into. It's turning into a massive exercise in corruption. Remember the 19th century robber barons? Well they're back except this time we spell baron with two R's, right? He's feathering the nest for his family.

Starting point is 00:08:12 And this is about just in your face crony corruption everywhere you turn. That's all this is about. So I knew that this was coming. Mark Hall, who lives down there, is talking about the fact that this company, CK Hutchinson, was being audited by Panama's income tax, their internal revenue thing. So that was a prelude to putting pressure on them. And so, you know, I think that probably it's just my guess. We don't have any proof of this. My guess would be that Larry Fink and BlackRock is really what is causing everybody to drop

Starting point is 00:08:53 their ESG stuff really, really fast because they were the ones who told them to do it. And if they're telling them to do ESG, and of course we had a lot of attorneys general who have filed suit against BlackRock saying they violated their fiduciary trust as a publicly traded company You're there and people buy your stock Because you're supposed to be about making money if you got a different agenda, which BlackRock does They cared far more about pushing ESG environmental and social governance, right? They cared far more about that than they did making a profit. They didn't care about annoying

Starting point is 00:09:31 their customers. You know, they're pushing Coca-Cola to hate white people and NASCAR, you know, NASCAR to hate their crowd and all the rest of this stuff. Their tentacles are everywhere. And so, to me, when you look at this, it all makes sense now. Were they all trembling in their boots about Donald Trump? He didn't have that kind of leverage over him. Look, the leverage is always tied to the money, folks. It's just the same way that Trump had leverage over all the governors. It was tied to the money. So BlackRock, one of the largest asset managers, $11.6 trillion in assets. Am I right? The big three pretty much own everything. State Street, Vanguard, BlackRock. That sum is equal to about 40% of the U.S. gross domestic product.

Starting point is 00:10:24 That's how big they are. And then when you add these other two guys, which are almost about the same size, it's almost the entire GDP. Maybe more than the GDP because it doesn't come out every year. So it doesn't completely control a large number of high-profile companies. It just leverages its ownership there. So when we look at this, again, those lawsuits done by the attorneys general didn't have any effect on it. But, boys, if you want to get their attention, make sure that you're going to put the squeeze

Starting point is 00:11:01 on the Panamanian government to put the squeeze on the Hong Kong government so they can do a sweetheart deal to help Larry Fink and Black Rock. The big guys get bigger. You don't think they're coming after all of our property in the same way they're doing in Panama? They absolutely are. You just watch what happens to George Soros' right hand man who broke the Bank of England and Leutnik as they're working on how they're going to entrap us in debt and a digital currency that they will have a cut on. Look, yeah, they're not – look, they're not communists.

Starting point is 00:11:38 Understand that, okay? They don't want to turn all this stuff over to the government. They want to make money off of it, right? These are capitalist dictators. They're looking to to make money off of it. These are capitalist dictators. They're looking to make a profit off of this. There's none of this nationalism or anything like that. No, they're simply looking to make a profit and they're looking to make a profit off of flipping our property as well, just like in Panama.

Starting point is 00:12:03 They'll find a way to do leverage for it. And everybody's going to set back because everybody's afraid to even criticize Donald Trump. Isn't that amazing? Well, I tell you, it makes me want to criticize him all the more every time I see people push back on this stuff and whether ridiculous explanations and excuses. It makes me double and triple down when I see that. Since his handover in 1999, the canal has been operated by Panama, not the Chinese, despite Trump's concerns that he says. The only part of the Trump's demands on Panama included that Panama stop charging fees to American vessels.

Starting point is 00:12:40 Marco Rubio, when he's down there, met with the Panamanians and he said that the US is obligated to protect the Panama Canal if it comes under attack. So I find it absurd. He said that we would have to pay fees to transit a zone that we are obligated to protect in a time of conflict. I'm assuming that when they say not charging American ships, They're talking about not just American flagged ships, but the military. I don't think that they're talking about the American flagged ships, but it would be the military for sure. He said, those are our expectations, said Rubio. They were clear. They were clearly understood in those conversations, he said, remarks that he made in the Dominican Republic after he left Panama. So there we go. It's going to be a $23 billion

Starting point is 00:13:26 deal to buy the Panama Canal. Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it? You know, we talk about billions of dollars so much. You know, we gave $177 billion to Ukraine, a hundred of which Zelensky says he has no idea where they're at. I didn't get that. Did anybody sign for that? Did you sign the, when Fed FedEx came did you sign that piece show me my signature on the FedEx package for that hundred billion dollars I don't know where that is and you could buy the entire Panama Canal we got four Panama Panama canals for what he's lost. Not counting what we gave him. So, yeah, $23 billion. Conservatives have long criticized BlackRock for, among other things, abusing its market power to push leftist policies, ESG, DEI, etc. That's more important to them than their profit.

Starting point is 00:14:26 Black Rock was also part of the Democrat scheme to rebuild Ukraine after its war with Russia. Larry Fink said, famously, before the election, it didn't matter to him for what he was going to be doing, whether it was Trump or Biden. He knew that he could buy either one of them. They're both for sale. They're both puppets. So with Biden, he can buy his way in to have a contract to rebuild Ukraine after the war. And I'm sure he probably will with Trump as well. And then with Trump,

Starting point is 00:15:01 he sidles in and he gets his gets the Panama Canal. He can get whatever he wants because our government is for sale. Like I said yesterday, Trump says, well the language of government is going to be English only. No, no, no. The language of our government is money, graft and corruption. You know, money talks and the rest of this stuff walks, right? So Trump, when he issues an executive order, that's all about money and he gets the governors to lock us down, to take our businesses, to run this medical martial law on us and everything. That's money. Obama speaks to the schools and says, put the trainees

Starting point is 00:15:42 in the girls bathrooms in the sports. Trump says, take the trainees out of the girls' bathrooms in sports. In both cases, they're speaking money. Money. Money is the language of Washington. And it's how these people like Larry Fink speak to Trump and to Biden. They speak to them in terms of money. You want $100 million for your campaign? Okay, fine. Then I can turn that hundred million dollars into a twenty three billion dollar investment here. Or

Starting point is 00:16:10 Elon Musk, look at him. He doubled his fortune from two hundred and something billion to over four hundred billion because he bought the Oval Office, lock stock and barrel, including the kitchen sink, as he was so proud of in that meme. And so the Ron Paul Institute, Chris Racini, a senior fellow there, says, looking at how the conservatives will excuse everything that Trump does. He says, oh yeah, that's much better. America, Americans are whipped into jingoistic fervor.

Starting point is 00:16:44 We're going to take blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah and you're not taking anything. Black Rock is going to be taking it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Merica. Merica is going to own the Panama Canal. You know, wave the flag and all the rest of this stuff. I had a listener yesterday when I was talking about the jingoism and the tribalism and everything that I said is inculcated going back to high school sports and everything.

Starting point is 00:17:13 He wrote me and he said, well, I think sports are good. And I wasn't criticizing sports. I was criticizing fans. That's short, folks, for fanatic. Fanatic. And he says sports is a good thing. It's like music or something. And I said, folks, for fanatic. Fanatic. You know, and he says, and sports is a good thing. It's like music or something. And I said, yeah, I agree.

Starting point is 00:17:29 And you know, people get crazy about music as well. As I wrote to him, I said, yeah, I remember, it really put me off of Elvis and the Beatles when I swam crazy, you know, and girls at the time, I was like, this is sick. But you know, it started, I think, with Frank Sinatra, but it goes back even further. Like I said to him, we were told, I don't know if it's true, that Franz Liszt was a rock star, had long flowing hair, all the women swooned when he played, he was a great musician. It's just something about, you know, you've got somebody who's good looking and then they

Starting point is 00:18:04 hit the music stuff as well everybody just falls at their feet I never had that experience but I've been told and I've seen that but it's saying we're looking for idols everywhere where there's a music or whether it's in sports and I said my problem is with the pep rallies that we had right kill these people over here now Now there are an enemy, you know, oh, that school is awful. Now that school is awful, my type of thing. And that's why they were trying to work up the crowd.

Starting point is 00:18:31 You know, people are actually participating in the sports, they're focused on what they're doing. They got a job to do. Just like the people who are doing music, if they're really good, they're gonna be focused on what they're doing. It's the other people who get caught up in all this idolatry and all this tribalism and all the rest of this stuff and that's what you're seeing here.

Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, we need to take Greenland, we need to take Panama, we need to take Canada, all the rest of this stuff. Who's going to get it? It's going to be Trump's crony capitalist friends who are out there. They train us for this kind of tribalism so that you can just, you can graduate from high school and college and your fanaticism about sports. You can go straight into your partisan politics. I'm red. I'm blue. I'm Republican. I'm Democrat, whatever. Black Rock has recently backed away from its diversity equity and inclusion policies. I wonder why? I wonder why? Why do you think they would do that? Because they never cared about profit before. They never cared about criticism before.

Starting point is 00:19:27 Could it be that he's playing a bigger game? Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what. Let's make a deal. Let's do this Panama Canal and I'll back everybody away from ESG. You'll look like a hero because Trump doesn't care about all this stuff. Trump wanted to put men in his Miss Universe beauty contest. He doesn't care about any of this stuff that the conservatives care about. None of it.

Starting point is 00:19:52 It's all just things that he can throw out there for you to get excited about, like the Epstein files. It's all just to show. BlackRock has removed references to its quote three pillar DEI strategy. They were the epicenter of this. They were the people who, the Moriarty of DEI and ESG. That was Larry Fink. Gone also was a statement that BlackRock views transparency as a measurement as critical to its strategy.

Starting point is 00:20:27 Hmm, yeah. So we'll see what happens. But look, these people are going to bide their time and come back even stronger. And unlike the Marxists, they've got a profit motive in all this. Yes, they're totalitarian, authoritarian, but we have other fish to fry here that are more important for them because money gives them personal power. Well, and then we have also in this administration, like I said, it only took a couple of weeks for R.F.K. Jr. to turn.

Starting point is 00:21:05 You know, he had one job and he didn't do it. For years he's talked about autism. Where did this MMR thing, what does it have to do with autism? Well, he was trying to convince everybody that it was a part of it. I believe it is. And now he's turned into a cheerleader for both the nonsense about a pandemic. Happiness. We all know what it feels like. cheerleader for both a nonsense about a pandemic. Happiness, we all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy.

Starting point is 00:21:30 I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from the Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people wanna live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for

Starting point is 00:21:59 and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find happy enough wherever you listen to podcasts. That's absolute nonsense that it would be a pandemic. So he is now, after jumping onto the measles and the MMR vaccine bandwagon, he has now jumped onto the criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism and it is a public health crisis. He says anti-Semitism and racism is a public health crisis. Why don't we think of that with BlackRock? I mean they're pushing DEI as racism.

Starting point is 00:22:40 Why isn't that a public health crisis? But in one of his first official acts, Health Secretary R.F.K. Jab on Monday declared anti-Semitism to be a public health crisis, like racism, he said. And he threatened to cut off billions in federal funding to Columbia University unless they make their campus a safe space for Jewish students. So he somehow catches demand for safe spaces and speech suppression as a fight against quote woke cancel culture in defense of free speech. Isn't that amazing? He's canceling speech and he presents it as free speech. How Orwellian is that? This is from Information Liberation. Yeah, it is Orwellian. You know censorship is free speech

Starting point is 00:23:34 We just had Margaret Bennet telling lecturing JD Vance said you know the Nazis came to power because of free speech Why these people just all over the place? I mean, they truly are Orwellian. War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery. Freedom is racism. Freedom is Nazi, according to Margaret Brennan. And so, you know, so now he's pushing both the, his second or third week of being

Starting point is 00:24:08 HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. is pushing both the MMR jab and also the idea of a measles pandemic. He's pushing that and now he's pushing censorship. He's batting a thousand, isn't he? I said I would never support him for president. I said I don't trust this guy about anything. I would never support him. When you look at his background, you look at his personal life, like Trump, it is... If you don't see red flags in that, you'll never see any red flags in the Epstein files. Both of them pals of Epstein.

Starting point is 00:24:43 Let me just ask you, how many people do you know that know Epstein, have. Both of them pals of Epstein. Now let me just ask you, you know, how many people do you know that know Epstein have been on his plane? Oh, well they're just hitching a ride, right? It's like the CIA thing and all the people around Alex are with CIA and it's like, wow, I've never known anybody that's even known anybody that was in the CIA. I mean, you know, close as I ever ever got there's one guy at Texas Instruments that worked up in in Dallas that we liaison with and he had formerly been in the NSA and And he wouldn't talk about any of it. Yeah, no such agency. That's what it stands for

Starting point is 00:25:18 That's the closest I ever got to any of this stuff didn't have family members that were in it All the rest of this stuff anyway So Don't criticize a foreign government, because that foreign government owns our government. It's the bottom line and they own RFK jab. Look, they exercise, and this is why I put these two things together. Are you worried about China exercising control over the Panama Canal? Or are you worried about Israel exercising control over Congress? Are you kidding me? What is that? These people get everything that they want. They're shutting down the First Amendment now. If you happen to criticize their politics or their war policies, no, we can't have that.

Starting point is 00:26:09 I mean, you talk about a distraction and a misdirection to say that you're more concerned about China and the Panama Canal than you are, you know, and we've got to do something about that. But we can't be concerned. Rightfully so," said Trump when he said, you know, Congress is owned by Israel. He said, and rightfully so. Rightfully so. How is that right, ever, to be owned by a foreign government?

Starting point is 00:26:34 So here's what Kennedy said. He said, anti-Semitism, he posted this up on X, anti-Semitism, like racism, is a spiritual and moral malady that sickens society and kills people and with lethalities comparable to history's most deadly plagues. Here we go, that's a public health issue. Look it is a spiritual and moral malady, but what they're talking about with antisemitism is not antisemitism. It's not antisemitism to criticize a foreign government.

Starting point is 00:27:07 Look, as I pointed out, you had 350 rabbis take out a full-page New York Times ad criticizing this government's policies. There's a lot of people who disagree with Netanyahu. There's a lot of people who disagree with his wars in Israel, who are Jewish. So it is not anti-Semitism to criticize them. So he goes on to say, censorship and false narratives of the cancel culture, and then he is doing the same thing. It just depends on who you want to censor.

Starting point is 00:27:39 If you support free speech, you support free speech. If you want to shut down speech of what you disagree with, you don't support free speech. If you want to shut down speech of what you disagree with, you don't support free speech. So now he's doing it. Now he's doing it. So, you know, and they will always resort back to threats of violence or assault or things like that. Look, physical attacks have always been illegal and that's not speech. But that's not what they're talking about shutting down. They're talking about shutting down speech. Today the Department of HHS, also the Department of Education and the US General Services Administration announced

Starting point is 00:28:20 a comprehensive review of Colombia's federal contracts and grants. Coming back to what I just said, the official language of the federal government is money, not English. And they scream at you through the grants and through the contracts and the money that they give you and then pull away. They bribe and they blackmail, saying, I'll take that money away that you got used to. So that's what we're talking about here. We're not talking about free speech.

Starting point is 00:28:49 We're not talking about people speaking in English either. It's money. A relentless harassment of Jewish students, they said. Well again, how are you going to distinguish between that and people who are peacefully standing outside of an abortion clinic, is that harassment? Well, they would say it's harassment because they don't like you standing there and because it causes them distress for somebody to point out that they're about to kill a baby, which

Starting point is 00:29:16 is the truth. But it should be allowed whether or not it is the truth. But they're punishing people for saying the truth about killing a baby. And so if you're going to call speech harassment, we're not that far away from the UK where they're telling people you can't pray privately in your own home in Scotland if it's close to an abortion clinic. It's a prayer-free zone. You can't pray silently in your head.

Starting point is 00:29:43 And we've got the FACE Act here in the United States, so if you're gathered with some signs a block away from the clinic, you still might be arrested and threatened with jail by somebody like the Biden administration, the Biden Department of Justice. This is a key issue, folks, and it is a moral issue and RFK jr. and these other people are twisting this and perverting this for the state of Israel the state of Israel not Israel the state of Israel you hear that Christian conservatives the state of Israel the politics of Israel and it's not monolithic and Netanyahu did not get a majority he had a really hard time putting a coalition together you know they have a

Starting point is 00:30:29 parliamentary system unlike the US they don't limit themselves to two parties they've got multiple parties so it's very rare for anybody to get a majority you have to put a coalition together he struggled he had to go through I think three different times and the only reason that they were able to get a governing coalition is because of this war. War brings everybody together, doesn't it? It's one of the reasons why they start wars and keep them going, far beyond the point at which there would be any excuse for it.

Starting point is 00:30:56 And again, I tell you that about a just war. People say, well, they have a right to protect themselves. Of course they do. But they don't have a right to keep killing people because of something that happened. And the just war is one that seeks to stop aggression. Just war does not start aggression. Just war, though, also does not continue the aggression when there's no longer a threat. And a just war, like we're talking about Ukraine, does Ukraine have a right to protect themselves against a Russian invasion? Yes, they do. But when they no longer have the ability to win that war, then they have a moral obligation to stop it. And that's why I compared Robert E. Lee to Zelensky. Robert E. Lee said, we can't win this war. We'll just be killing our own people

Starting point is 00:31:47 as well as the other side. That's not moral if you can't have any way to win it. And that's part of the moral calculations at the beginning that Augustine laid out in Adjust War Theory. He said when you look at it, part of the thing that you have to look at is do we have any possible way of winning this? Is there a path to victory? You know, Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy believed that they did have a path to victory at the

Starting point is 00:32:09 beginning of it, and they did pretty well at the beginning of it. But it became a war of attrition and there was absolutely no way they were going to win it. A small country that didn't have the material means to continue this war in the same way that Ukraine is. war in the same way that Ukraine is. And they needed to have somebody that was on their side to pursue this, and they didn't. And even with us on their side, what we risk is World War III and a nuclear war. It's not worth the risk. And so, when you look at Israel, they say that they're destroying Gaza to get to Hamas. Well, that obviously isn't working, right? Hamas is doing fine.

Starting point is 00:32:51 It's the civilians that are being killed. And so you have to look at this and say, well, you know, that strategy is just murdering civilians in massive amounts. And so from a just war theory doesn't make any sense. It only makes sense if you're going to make it into the Gaza strip, a development for Netanyahu and Jared Kushner and Donald Trump's family to kick all the people out or kill them so they can turn it into a development, which is what a lot of people said was the motivation for this in the first place. That the other stuff was an excuse.

Starting point is 00:33:23 So this task force put together by the Department of Education, HHS and then the people were getting writing the checks. The task force review is the first major action announced by the multi-agency Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. This was created by Trump's executive order that he called additional measures to combat anti-Semitism. But it's not combating anti-Semitism. It's combating a criticism of a political entity, the state of Israel, and the prosecution of that immoral war that Christians support, many of them. I know many Christians who don't support it, but there are far too many that do.

Starting point is 00:34:10 So they said students have been assaulted and harassed. Well, yeah, that's not speech, is it? That's not speech. And that's a separate thing. So you don't need to – it's what I've always said about hate speech laws. You know, oh, look at this. You know, they do this and they do that and they hurt this person and they kill that person.

Starting point is 00:34:27 Those are already crimes. Now hate might be a motive and that might help to establish a person's guilt in actually creating a crime, but hate is never a crime. Hate can never be a crime because if hate is a crime, that will be the wedge to destroy all free speech as we see now we can see this for the longest time if we thought this through now you see it being put in place institutions that we see federal funds have a responsibility to protect all students from speech they don't like no it says discrimination but that's what they mean. That's what they're talking about. Well, if you want to protect people from discrimination, where have you been for

Starting point is 00:35:10 the last several decades in terms of the admission policies that have only gotten codified and intensified by DEI? Now, the policies have been racist all my life, all my life. Their admission policies have been racist. Preferring one group of people to another not about merit and now you get the case just last week of the Asian student no no no we're not gonna bring in Asian and white people we got to bring in other groups yeah he got more than a perfect grade score and he not got nearly on his GPA it was beyond 4-0 like four and a half because he got extra credit for stuff and then he came within like two or three points of getting an absolutely perfect score in the SAT thing and all the big schools turned

Starting point is 00:36:00 him down, all of them because he's not the right race. So why don't you talk about that, Trump? I guess they didn't pay him enough to talk about that. Trump administration is blatantly attacking free speech and the right to protest in order to silence criticism of Israel, says Information Liberation, calling it discriminatory hate that threatens the safety of Jewish students. Well again, if they're threatening the safety of Jewish students, then that's a separate crime. But they can say whatever they want to about the government of Israel. He says, and he's right about this, this mirror image, this is the

Starting point is 00:36:45 mirror image of the social justice warriors safe space woke speech suppression tactics used by the left to silence criticism of minorities, but it's being applied only to Jews and it's being couched in anti-woke rhetoric. And so as one person said, going back to an interview that RK Jr. had, he says, you want to see the longest pregnant pause in human history? I don't agree with that. But okay, do you have concerns about the level of Israeli influence in our politics here in the United States of America. Do do do do do do do do do. I don't know. I mean, I, I don't know. I just, I'm not,

Starting point is 00:37:37 you know, I'm not a politician in political office, so I don't see much of that. Now we can see what he's doing in political office as a politician He's being controlled by Israel, isn't he? Yeah, Thomas Massey talked about how a pack has got its Hands around all the politicians throat not registered. Is there any other Republican who has your views on this? well, I have Republicans who come to me on the floor

Starting point is 00:38:05 and say, I wish I could vote with you today. Yours is the right vote, but I would just take too much flack back home. And I have Republicans who come to me and say, that's wrong what AIPAC is doing to you. Let me talk to my AIPAC person. By the way, everybody but me has an APAC person. What does that mean, an APAC person?

Starting point is 00:38:26 It's like your babysitter, your APAC babysitter, who is always talking to you for APAC. They're probably a constituent in your district, but they are firmly embedded in APAC. Every member has something like this? I don't know how it works on the Democrat side, but that's how it works on the Republican side. And when they and when they come to D.C., you go have lunch with them

Starting point is 00:38:53 and they've got your cell number and you have conversations with them. So I've had like that's absolutely crazy. I've had four members of Congress say, I'll talk to my APAC person. And it's really what we call them my AIPAC guy. I'll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get him to you know dial those ads back. Why have I never heard this before? It doesn't come on anybody. Why would they want to tell their constituents that they've basically got a buddy system with somebody who's representing a foreign country.

Starting point is 00:39:28 It doesn't benefit the congressmen for people to know that, so they're not going to tell you that. Yeah, and that's one of the reasons why Massey has said that AIPAC needs to comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Farah, right? That lobbyists have to do. You're going to lobby people on behalf of a foreign government. You should do that. Now, I think it's also interesting to look at how powerful that can be if you are persistent.

Starting point is 00:39:53 This is why I said I don't think we're ever going to get anything done unless we focus on single issues. The gun lobby people are persistent and focused on one issue. Homeschoolers, same type of thing. I said many times, I was really surprised when North Carolina government was completely controlled by Democrats everywhere. The governor, both houses, Senate and the House, they were all Democrats and they all loved government schools and they loved teachers unions and the teachers unions wanted them to shut down homeschooling.

Starting point is 00:40:32 And this very small number of homeschoolers at the time, because we're talking about the mid-80s, got together and organized this persistent heckering like you see here, you know, somebody in your district that is associated with AIPAC and this constant lobbying and connection, you know, John Birch Society has done that in the past. And you know, if you organize around particular issues or if you have an organization that is just looking at conservative issues and said, you know, here's some new legislation, we need to run, do this. If you get involved in that and you contact them and you and they get a lot of calls, you know, even the Democrats who wanted to please the teachers union because

Starting point is 00:41:15 they got so many calls from individuals, they backed off. And so that can be very effective. Now, AIPAC is masterfully doing that, but they also have a great deal of foreign money because when Massey ran for re-election this last time, because he said things like that and Tucker's so disingenuous. Are you kidding me? Why have I never heard this? I've never heard about this thing called 9-11 either or the rest of this stuff. I mean, Tucker is such a limited hangout, such an act, it's just amazing. If he was really that stupid, he wouldn't be where he is. So I don't believe it for a moment.

Starting point is 00:41:54 After Massey complained about AIPAC, they spent $300,000 on just one TV station running this ad. Israel, the Holy Land, under attack by Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Congressman Tom Massey. And Tom Massey's like Hezbollah. One Republican is standing in the way. It's Kentucky's Tom Massey. Fifteen times in April, Massey was the only Republican voting with anti-Israel radicals. Massey's votes, helpful for Iran, harmful to Israel. Everyone who cares about the Holy Land needs to know Tom Massey is hostile to Israel.

Starting point is 00:42:28 United Democracy Project is responsible for the content of this advertising. Yeah, well, you know, the thing is, I don't think land is holy. I think God is holy. I think he's got holy purposes. But this is wholly wrong, okay? This is, they spent three hundred thousand dollars and fortunately Massey In his district the people saw through those lies and that propaganda associating him with Iran and Hamas and all the rest of stuff

Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah, they really overstepped so far they jumped the shark and He won by seventy five percent in his district, even though they spent $300,000 in just one station in his district. But again, Trump goes even further than R.F.K. Jr. in terms of coming after free speech. Just like Germany.

Starting point is 00:43:17 You know, you just had JD Vance criticizing Germany saying, you're sending the police out for people who make social media posts. How dare you do that? That's not our values. Maybe we should... Happiness. We all know what it feels like. But sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from the Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to

Starting point is 00:44:02 demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find happy enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Couldn't be in a defense agreement with somebody that is this authoritarian. And yet, what is Trump talking about doing? Locking people up. He said that after RFK Jr. did. See, in Germany, if you criticize a German politician, Greens, the Greens, the Marxists, as I said, there's two politicians in Germany, each of whom has filed 800 charges with the police, and had the

Starting point is 00:44:44 police go out and harass, sometimes arrest, sometimes imprison people who criticized them. So you criticize a German politician, you get the German police at your door. Now in America, we do it differently. If you criticize a foreign politician, you criticize an Israeli politician, now Trump wants to put the police at your door. How about that? And this is absolutely crazy.

Starting point is 00:45:09 You criticize a German politician in Germany, you get the police at your door. You criticize an Israeli politician, you get the American police at your door in America. Because this is what Trump is saying. He says, colleges allowing illegal protests will lose federal funding, and agitators will be imprisoned.� He said, �If they allow �illegal� anti-Israel protests, how is a protest illegal?� I mean, didn�t we just talk about that with January the 6th when I said that no protest is illegal? Don�t we have a � our rights don't come from the Constitution. Our rights come from God.

Starting point is 00:45:50 We're endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. The Constitution has the Bill of Rights which adds additional prohibitions to specific things and says that the government will not interfere when we are peacefully redressing our grievances about the government or anything else. So we have a right to protest. I don't care much for public protest personally, but we have a right for it. And there is no public protest that is going to be illegal if it's peaceful, going back again to January the 6th. But see, it isn't about the principle, is it, for these people?

Starting point is 00:46:28 It's for, for these people who support Trump and who support these restrictions on free speech, they no more care about free speech than the Biden administration did. They just want to come after their opponents. Biden didn't care about free speech. He wanted to come after the people who supported Trump. Trump doesn't care about free speech. He wants to come after the people who supported Trump. Trump doesn't care about free speech, he wants to come after the people who come after Israel and criticize Israel.

Starting point is 00:46:51 So he says, illegal, that's his term, illegal anti-Israel protests. You'll lose your federal funding and agitators, that's what he called them, taking part in this demonstration, in these demonstrations will be imprisoned, he said. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or depending on the crime arrested and he says no masks and he puts out an all upper case with an exclamation mark no masks. Speaking of COVID-19, Goldman Sachs put out a model yesterday saying that if there is universal masks, it would be a net positive for GDP.

Starting point is 00:47:33 We know the IHME- Oh, well, if Goldman Sachs says it- If there were universal masks- Then we should do it. ... beneficial, it would save lives. So if there is an economic benefit, sir- Now Trump tells us no masks. ... benefits, sir, why not go forward and say there should be mandatory masks all across this country?

Starting point is 00:47:48 I'm all for masks. I think masks are good. If I were in a group of people and I was close... You would wear one? Oh, I would. Oh, I have. I mean, people have seen me wearing one. I mean, I'd have no problem. Actually, I had a mask on. I said I liked the way I looked. Okay, I thought it was okay it was a dark black mask yeah I didn't like the way he looked I didn't like the way his uh marching uniformed military guys in the mass looked either had kind of a star wars fascism vibe to it didn't it to it, didn't it? He's got the presidential seal on his cheek. There are many masks, but mine is special. Yes. There you go. And there he is. Darth's got a mark on that beast.

Starting point is 00:48:47 I can't breathe in this thing! That's what everybody said. They finally took the mask off and quit playing the charades that he was pushing on everybody. And how did he do it? With an executive order that spoke in money, not in English. Okay? So that's how it's done, right? It's in money.

Starting point is 00:49:13 The language of government, money. So anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hate will not be tolerated on American campuses, said Elise Stefanik who is now his ambassador to the UN. I think it was a place and she says promises made promises kept those are promises made to Israel. And of course he's going to keep those promises he makes to Israel and she's going to be rewarded for that as well.

Starting point is 00:49:39 She spoke also at the Anti-Defamation League's Never Is Now conference on Monday helped a heaped praise on ADL's CEO Jonathan Greenblatt who never saw a speech that he didn't want to control. One of the most reprehensible organizations out there, the ADL. If you want a rise of anti-Semitism you keep putting ADL out there people and Jonathan And Jonathan Greenblatt is going to blow back big time. Big time. You know, it's like the CIA putting him on the shaw of Iran and teaching him how to torture people. This is going to blow back on them in the same way.

Starting point is 00:50:18 She ran down everything the Trump administration is doing to shut down criticism of Israel, ranging from civil rights investigations to threatening deportations. She said the ADL's work helping expose the rot on higher ed campuses has been invaluable to these efforts." And again, they always equate anti-Semitism with anti-Israel and they always leave out the word government. Different political parties in Israel have different policies. Oh, you're not allowed to criticize any of that. Trump's call to jail Americans for illegally protesting Israel came just one day after

Starting point is 00:50:57 Robert Kennedy declared anti-Semitism is a public health crisis, like racism. Yeah, public health. Public health. A dictatorship that is used in the past martial law. Well here's the thing, RFK jab. You had one job and you didn't do it. Instead you turned it into a jab promotion, right? And again, you know, you're now seeing this everywhere. Somebody sent it to me, but it's all over. Twitter people are putting up the clips from the Brady Bunch back in 1969. Let's talk a little bit about how this all evolved, right?

Starting point is 00:51:34 So you know, you didn't have a measles vaccine until 1963. And they didn't get the final form that they wound up going with until 1968. Happiness. We all know what it feels like. form that they wound up going with until 1968. Happiness. We all know what it feels like. But sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives. But how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll

Starting point is 00:52:13 hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for, and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. So this Brady Bunch thing, I'm going to play a little bit of it for you so you can see how everybody viewed measles. Trump viewed it that way, I viewed it that way, we all grew up with it that way. But so you have the measles vaccine, the first prototype, 1963. They settle on it in 1968. The mumps vaccine, 1967. Rubella, 1969. So you got 1967, 1968, 1969 for the three of them. Then they combine them into an MMR shot in 1971. Then the push begins to mandate it for school attendance through the later 70s and up into the 80s. By 1989 the CDC hypes that there is a measles outbreak

Starting point is 00:53:17 to get more schools to jump into this. Now Massachusetts jumped in right away. As soon as they had a measles vaccine, Massachusetts, they love bossing people around. And so Massachusetts says, well, you've got to have your measles shot to go to school. But it was still in the early 2000s before Texas mandated it. And then you have Rick Perry, who tries to then leapfrog everybody else and mandate the HPV shot for school attendance. It's amazing. But it was, so that was the case, you know, you start, the vaccines come out the end of the 1960s through the 70s and 80s. They're pushing it to get schools to mandate it. It's not happening in a lot of places, so they manufacture a measles epidemic

Starting point is 00:54:06 to scare people in 1989. Then it starts getting adopted in more and more places. Finally they got everybody in by the early 2000s, and then in 2019 they have some more scary measles outbreaks for which nobody's really sick and nobody dies. And then you have more mandates and that was, I'm not going to play the clip, but that's when Trump goes out there and says, I got to get this shot. It's really going. That's 2019 California, New York saying, we're going to remove all religious and medical exemptions for these vaccines. You got to have them got to get this shot. And so, you know, just, just right before they started rolling out the COVID thing, for which there was going to be no exemptions, medical or religious, if they got their way.

Starting point is 00:54:53 And so let's just go back and take a look at this. The Brady Bunch measles, 1969. This is the attitudes or measles that I had then and the attitude that I have today because I don't believe a word that comes out of the CDC or RK jr.'s mouth. Hi. Peter. What are you doing off from school? They sent me home. Measles. You see their measles are a strange case of red freckles. You have got a temperature. They told me 101.1. So this would be headline news on CNN today. That's one record you don't want to break. Right you don't get to hold the title very long. And everybody would be locked down. I'll phone the doctor and be right out. Measles. Let's hope all the others don't start

Starting point is 00:55:35 coming down with it. Oh that would be terrible. Right as the warden of the state prison once said I sure would hate to see them all break out at once. Yeah, I never watched this show. Pretty corny. No, are you sure it's the measles? Well, he certainly got all the symptoms. A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great big smile. A great big smile? No school for a few days.

Starting point is 00:55:58 Jan! You've got a measle! Golly, mothers are supposed to know everything. But do you have to keep proving it? You've got measles. Golly, mothers are supposed to know everything. But do you have to keep proving it? You've got a temperature too. What do you mean too? Peter was sent home from school a little while ago. Oh, what was his temperature?

Starting point is 00:56:13 101.1. Oh, is that all? I'm 101.2. Oh, Greg, you're on my railroad. I'll be your sport. You can ride on it free. Thanks a lot. It's... Your turn, Peter. Oh, I need two more hands. I'll be a sport you can ride on it free. Thanks a lot. It's your turn Peter Boy this is the life in this yeah, if you have to get sick sure can't beat the measles. That's right No medicine inside or out like shots. I mean don't even mention shots. Yes, I can't had chicken pops

Starting point is 00:56:44 and I mean, don't even mention shots. Yes. And Jan had chicken pox. Shot. And, uh, Marcia and Cindy. Oh, let's see. We got mom's scarlet fever all the rest of that. She's checking off of different childhood diseases they had. So why did they call them childhood diseases? So what happened? From that America, thanks to Fauci and others, uh, now the,. Now the vaccine companies can, they mandate the vaccines for the school kids. They hold the vaccine companies harmless for any damage that they do.

Starting point is 00:57:15 We have an epidemic of autism. That was what RFK was supposed to do. But he didn't do that, did he? Well, I'm going to take a break and when we come back we're going to talk about the terrorists. We're going to take a look at the history of the terrorists as well, just like we did with the vaccine here. A quick review of the history. But I'll just say this, we've now got Darrell Issa, who once Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Peace Prize. Well, I would say that he deserves it every bit as much as Obama did, right?

Starting point is 00:57:49 Yeah, what Trump wants, he wants a peace. He wants a peace of Canada, he wants a peace of Greenland, he wants a peace of Panama, he wants a peace of Ukraine. That's the peace that he wants. Congressman Darrell Issa recently led a congressional delegation to four Middle East nations. He observed firsthand and from several heads of state that the spirit of peace and moving away from conflict is real and multilateral. Was he doing those mushrooms that Janet Yellen was doing when she went to China?

Starting point is 00:58:21 Is he bowing his head incessantly. Evidently so, but we're going to take a break and when we come back we're going to take a look at tariffs and take a look at your comments here as well. And we're going to compare, you know, Trump talked about these McKinley tariffs and how they were great. So we're going to take a look at the McKinley tariffs. We're also going to take a look at the tariffs of abomination that nearly caused a secession in the Civil War back in the 1828, they put in the terrorists. You had the nullification crisis by the early 1830s and we'll also take a look at Thomas Jefferson.

Starting point is 00:58:53 What was his strategy with terrorists? Because it was different from what Jackson later did and what McKinley later did. So we're going to take a look at all three of those when we come back. Stay with us. We will be right back. The The The Making Sense, coming again! You're listening to the David Knight show. All right let's talk a little bit about some of your comments here and we got a lot of them. Nmax Trump has a serious conflict of interest with Black Rock. Larry Fink is his investment banker so he's padding his own investments. I

Starting point is 01:01:02 didn't know that. I know that he's got business deals with Larry Lutnick and these other people that he's brought in with as Treasury Commerce Secretary and all the rest of this stuff. Of course, he had a lot of that conflict of interest and the people that he pointed in his first round through, his first Commerce Secretary was a banker for Ross Child that was looking at his bankruptcies of the casinos and said well instead of foreclosing on this guy let's let him run a little bit let's work with him look at the crowns around him I think we can use this guy and they did use him big daddy Kane and little in

Starting point is 01:01:35 Massachusetts a liberal communist nut vandalized electric car charging station to protest President Musk's actions I know know I saw that. I'm going to cover that and say, look at this! We got an EV fire without the EV! We didn't even have a battery blow up. How about that? So yeah, there's protests at Tesla dealerships. People are boycotting his products and all the rest of stuff. But look, the Twitter thing is actually far more valuable to him. That is, he's with Twitter, first of all. The big data, the compute stuff that he can feed into his artificial intelligence, that's incredibly valuable.

Starting point is 01:02:16 That's what they were complaining about with TikTok in China. They said, you don't want to let them have that. So instead, you know, he knows that. So he jumped in there and got it. Secondly, it allows him to play to a big crowd of supporters, just like Trump. Like Trump said, if I ever run for president, I'll run as a Republican, because those Republicans are stupid. So, it's like, okay, I'm going to get into politics and get a big mob supporting me, worshiping me. That's what Twitter is for.

Starting point is 01:02:49 So he's getting the ire of the leftists on Tesla, but all of his government contracts and his involvement with the government is going to be far more important to him. Esflo0818 says, wow, all the more reason not to have an electric car. Well, a Tesla, you have a Tesla, they're going to be maybe vandalizing it. I mean, they've been throwing paint on Teslas and stuff. These are a really disturbing minority of vandals like the just stop oil people throwing paint on paintings and stuff like that. I mean, these people are absolutely totally deranged about everything, not just about Trump and Musk. They're deranged about everything. North American House Hippo. Trump is ensuring a continued liberal rule in Canada under Prime Minister

Starting point is 01:03:33 Carney. You'd almost think that he was a Democrat. Yeah, exactly. And he makes, look, he's making this, he's making Trudeau look reasonable and smart. This world economic forum puppet, this Marxist Trudeau, he's making him look good. Poliev has even, the conservative has even jumped behind him. But of course his North American House, I haven't shown it, but he sent me a clip talking about how disappointed he was in Poliev, whatever the guy's name is. And I was too.

Starting point is 01:04:07 I sent him a couple of things. He's pushing for the Ukraine war, but in the clip that North American Househead sent me, he's talking about how vital the Paris Climate Accord is. It's like, what? What? You're too smart to believe that. So there's some betrayal that's going on there. Seriously, yes.

Starting point is 01:04:24 I mean, he's a very smart guy. Just look at those two interactions the time he had the apple and the other time where he's leading these reporters on. He is a master at rhetoric, and he's very intelligent. And so he's not naive enough to believe this Paris Climate Accord thing. Nobody believes that. And so anybody who's still toeing that line is a World Economic Forum puppet. Now everybody knows that Trudeau is, and as North American House of Opposite, what Trump is doing is he's making these people who are in opposition to him, you know, the more you're opposed to Trump, the better now.

Starting point is 01:05:04 Because now everybody's booing each other with the national anthems of the sporting events and stuff. Self-patriot, thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. He says, David, I listened to your show the day after, but I listened to a little of your interview with Dr. Tenpenny. I have a lot of respect for her, but her theory about R.F.K. Jr. sounded like a Q-hopium.

Starting point is 01:05:23 It wasn't Dr. Tenpenny, that was Katherine Austin-Fitz. And I would disagree with Katherine on that as well. I really do like her insights. We didn't talk a lot about her localized solutions, but she's been very active in helping these agendas in Tennessee, and I appreciate that support. And she agrees with us on these solutions. I think she just got too close You know on a personal basis with our K junior a few years ago And you know when I look at now, I understand, you know people who are in these positions They get their life is threatened on things and you know If it was a situation where you're going to expose financial fraud like she she was talking about in her particular case, they threatened members of her family to kill them, to expose

Starting point is 01:06:09 financial fraud and everybody already knows about the financial fraud, Doge is nothing new for the most part. They have shown some receipts and some details that we didn't have before, but we knew all this stuff all along. And so would you risk your life and your family's life to show something that everybody already knows? But it's a very different thing when you're talking about R.F.K. Jr. and these vaccines, frankly.

Starting point is 01:06:33 Because he knows, clearly knows, and has talked about the toll of autism and Guillain-Barre and all these other horrific side effects of the vaccine industry, he knows how unsafe and ineffective they are. Even if he buys into the virus theory, he knows that these vaccines are not safe or effective even by their own definition. And so now what you're talking about, if they're're threatening you your life or the life of your family You're talking about your life and your family's life versus Tens hundreds of millions of other people's lives. How do you make a calculation like that?

Starting point is 01:07:15 None of us knows what we would do until the time would come But I got to say that I can't just brush that off Because now you're talking about mass murder on a scale that we've never seen before. Cold calculated murder. You know, poisoners are some of the most calculating and reprehensible of all murders. There's not a crime of passion in it. These people are poisoning everyone for money. And so I don't make any excuses for them and there's no prisoners in this stuff no prisoners allowed in that militant and Milankovic

Starting point is 01:07:53 thank you for the tip he said let's get David's rumble chat a sea of red for March please pass it on well thank you very much I appreciate that in max says RFK jr. stated that the Hep B. Vax is causing autism in small children. Yet suddenly he's unconcerned about it. Yeah, will success spoil Rock Hunter? Remember that movie? It certainly did spoil everybody in Hollywood and it spoils everybody in Washington, D.C. too, it seems like.

Starting point is 01:08:22 Yet suddenly he's unconcerned. The MMR is one of the most damaging shots and now he doesn't care. That's right. Doesn't care. Gonna push it. Gonna push it. And he, you know, hedges his bet a little bit and he says, well, you know, make sure you got good nutrition and vitamin supplements and all the rest of stuff and then the left

Starting point is 01:08:39 just, hectares in movement. You can't please them. He's gonna sit on a fence? What happens to people who sit on a fence too long? They wind up getting castrated. Ron Helton says, anti-war is now considered more dangerous than genocide and is now classified as anti-Semitic. Isn't that right?

Starting point is 01:08:58 Yeah, I agree. It is just amazing to me. I've seen teachers that I thought did a really great job of teaching the Bible, took it seriously, and I've seen them call the people in Israel Amalek, with Ben Shapiro. It's like, well, you just discredited everything that you told people. I mean it's just amazing. The truth is still the truth and who knows what these other political motives are that are out there, but I tell you what, I just, just read the Bible for yourself. Don't be a follower of any of these people, because they'll take you over the cliff somewhere or the other if you follow them. Always hold the standard up.

Starting point is 01:09:51 You know, if it's politics, it's the standards of Bill of Rights and the Constitution. If it's religion, moral issues, the standard is the Bible. And don't ever become a follower of men. Never. Eric Gavarni, thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. Imzeez7 says, As soon as the Muslims are wiped out, Christians are next. Yeah, they are not just take a look at what they are doing to the Christians with the Muslims? And Germany? For Ramadan?

Starting point is 01:10:26 Let's get a vehicle and ram the Christians for Ramadan. And Max, Trump ran to the UN to demand that all religions must accept homosexuality but didn't say a thing about the huge persecution of Christians in those same countries. Mark Kernicke says, all of the kids in my class had measles. 33 out of 33. That's right, me too. Gard Goldsmith. Good to see you Gard. Liberty Conspiracy and Rockfin and X. The RFK Jr. thing. He said, so glad David covered that. And it's amazing that MAGAites justifiably criticized Biden's Department of Justice for going after parents at school board meetings, yet now they claim criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism, and

Starting point is 01:11:10 R.F.K. Jr. calls it a national mental disorder, essentially. And let's make it clear, you know, what do you think when you say Israel? I've talked to a lot of Christians and they think Israel. That's God's people and that's Old Testament and all that. No, we're talking about a political state, a modern political state, for which there is not a unified agreement even within Israel, but it is a political entity. It is an atheistic entity.

Starting point is 01:11:42 It is an entity that parades its distrust of God and its reliance on its own strength. That was always a criticism of Israel in the Old Testament. They've decided that they're going to do it on their own. You know, some trust in chariots and horses. And those are not the people that God applauds or rewards. God's people trust in Him. And as I said, they've got the Hagar problem. God promised Abraham and Sarah in their old age they're going to have a child. And they wait for a while and it's not happening and they think God's taking too long.

Starting point is 01:12:19 So okay, I guess I'm going gonna have to make it happen and so Hagar is the handmaid of Sarah and Sarah gives Hagar to Abraham and they have a child Ishmael the Progenitor of all the Arabs that are out there at their throats again, and you talk about anti-semitism That also includes the Arabs. All right, so is Israel anti-Semitic when it attacks the Semites and Gaza? Because they're all downstream from Abraham. But it created all kinds of problems because they didn't wait for God, they didn't do it God's way. And so the problem is Zionists, whether they're Jewish or Christian, they've got a Hagar problem.

Starting point is 01:13:03 They've decided they're going to do it on their own. They're going to do it in their own strength, and they're going to do it regardless of what the moral principles are. They're going to throw away the Ten Commandments. Maybe they can contact that thief that stole them out of the English church and get a copy of that and read it. I don't know. Let's talk about tariffs.

Starting point is 01:13:23 Because Trump, and let's begin with McKinley, because Trump has talked talked about how much he loved McKinley and McKinley's tariffs. He went back and he renamed Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley. Part of that was just to come back at the leftist. So McKinley was involved in tariffs before he became president actually but he always supported them. The most notable tariff legislation during his political career was the McKinley Tariff of 1890 enacted when he was a congressman and a chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee before he became president. As president he also supported the Dingley Tariff of 1897, which built on his earlier tariff philosophy. Now, here's an interesting point. According to the Constitution, the tariffs and taxes should come from the Congress, not from the President, right? So

Starting point is 01:14:17 he might say these are McKinley tariffs because McKinley, when he was a congressman, he introduced a tariff. And then when he was president, he supported introduced a tariff and then when he was president he supported this other tariff that was done by a congressman because those are supposed to originate in Congress. Congress doesn't do anything anymore. And so now we have executive orders for tariffs. See how far we've gotten away from the Constitution? That's the first point. The second point is the purpose of the McKinley tariffs. The purpose was to protect American industries. They were protectionists. And you know, not all

Starting point is 01:14:51 tariffs are protectionists. Now these that were happening in the 1800s were protectionists. The tariffs that happened in the 1890s, they were trying to protect specific industries. And so they put very high tariffs on particular things to protect particular industries from foreign competition. And so here's some of what they did in the 1890 tariffs. They increased average tariff rates to about 48 to 50 percent on some of these imports that they put them on. Some specific examples. Wool. Duties ranged on wool from 33% to over 90%. Evidently different types of wool. Tinplate had big tariffs on that. Textiles, metals, agricultural equipment,

Starting point is 01:15:39 often exceeding 50%. They removed tariffs on raw sugar in order to appease consumers. Why? Because it raised their prices. That's what tariffs do. But then they raise the rates on refined sugar to protect U.S. producers. So still, they're going to be, you know, they're not taxing the raw sugar and the refined sugar. But if it was an American producer, then the raw sugar could come in, the refined sugar would not have the terrorists attached to it. But the purpose of it is targeted to particular industries to protect American industries. It was not about raising revenue. And so it covered about 50% of imports.

Starting point is 01:16:27 The rest of them were duty-free. Similar thing with a Dingley tariff of 1890 that was during his presidency. That first one, the McKinley tariff, that was the one that was done by him when he was chair, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. And then he did the same type of thing that he supported, of course it came from Congress, when he was president. So he was, McKinley was a staunch supporter of protectionism. And that's the way that Trump has portrayed these tariffs.

Starting point is 01:16:59 Except that he's not talking about doing 50 to 90 percent tariffs on things. He's had some rhetoric that's been out there, but in reality it's not. We're looking at China. You're going to try to protect us from China tariffs by just putting 10 or 20 percent? Initially he said it's going to be 10 percent. He's doubled it now to 20 percent. Is that something that's going to protect us? And again, it's not targeted to specific things. In other words, he's not putting on a

Starting point is 01:17:26 tariff to target solar panels so that we can develop a solar panel industry here. I mean, that's been rife with corruption and crony capitalism and all the rest of the stuff, and we don't need that here. But I'm just using that as an example. But I'm just using that as an example. So then go back earlier to that, the Terrace of 1828, which nearly caused a secession of civil war at that point in time. But I've used this example before because I said, when you look at the economic split that happened,

Starting point is 01:18:02 it happened because it was a fourth turning. We had a civil war in Italy at the same time, 1861 to 65, because it was the Industrial Revolution, it was the consolidation of political power into nation states. That was what was happening in Italy, and that was what was really going on in America as well. It wasn't about slavery, but the slavery, the economic issue that was involved there, was also brought to a head in 1828 to 1832. You had tariffs that were put in in 1828 and they were very high and they were mercantilist

Starting point is 01:18:37 tariffs and everything and so there was retaliation on the agricultural products that were being exported out of the South. And so that's why they called them abominable, right? Because it was making their products non-competitive while it was protecting the industry, the industrialized companies in the North. And so it became a real sticking point. Those tariffs were on things like textiles and iron products, molasses and hemp. Hemp, which was legal. The libertarians used to, when I first started working with them, they had a little stamp that a lot of them bought and passed around. And whenever they get a dollar bill, they had a little stamp and they could stamp it right next they had a little stamp and they could

Starting point is 01:19:25 stamp it right next to George Washington's face and it came out a little speech bubble that said, I grew hemp. And they all did. Hemp for victory in World War II and the rest of this stuff. So they doubled or tripled duties on hemp, on iron products, a 50% increase over earlier levels, on textiles, and this is the key thing, that rose to 50% of their value. Some items were taxed higher, up to 67%. And so the raw materials of cotton and things would go to the textile industries in Great

Starting point is 01:20:02 Britain. They would come back as finished products and say, we don't want that coming back as finished products. So the British would say, well, we don't want your cotton either. So it became a big, big issue. About 92% of imports were subject to duties in that 1828 tariff thing, leaving little things on the list that were free.

Starting point is 01:20:23 And it really got the people in the South upset. So much so that it caused a nullification crisis in 1832, which nearly led to secession. But as I've pointed out, the reason I've talked about this in the past was because people were not ready to just give up on everything at that point, like they were later on in 1861. They weren't ready to give up on the institutions. Another 30 years they would be. But the timing was not right, and so they came up with a compromise on this. And they adjusted the tariffs, they lowered them. And so let's compare this.

Starting point is 01:21:01 Those tariffs were to protect 1828 and then again the 1890s. Those sets of tariffs were there to protect specific industries. You know, the one in 1828 was fairly broad based. The one in the 1890s was more specifically based, but they were all very high and they were still targeting particular industries. Now what about Thomas Jefferson? I've mentioned many times that he said by eliminating all unnecessary offices of the federal government, in other words by cutting government down and cutting government spending, he said we were able to eliminate all internal taxes so that no one knows a federal taxman

Starting point is 01:21:42 and the government which was small enough to fit inside the Constitution was completely run off of tariffs during the Jefferson administration. Now what was different about the Jefferson administration was that these tariffs were not about protecting a particular industry. It was about funding the government. A completely different approach. Again it was not about protectionism but it was just about running a small government. And it worked quite well until the end of the Jefferson administration in 1807 because of the Napoleonic Wars and because there was attacks on, you know, the French and the British were attacking each other and they were attacking the Americans or wanted to remain neutral

Starting point is 01:22:23 to some degree. But they put in an embargo act, which basically just shut down all imports from all countries, completely shut everything down. And the problem with that was that they'd already switched over to a tax system that was completely funded by the tariffs. It was short-lived, and they quickly realized that because their revenue fell from 16 million dollars. That was the entire revenue of the federal government in 1807, 16 million dollars.

Starting point is 01:22:52 Was that not speak volumes about inflation and about our bloated government, which is even worse than our devalued dollar? It fell from 16 million in 1807 to $6 million in 1808. So they had to do something about that. But you notice that, you know, the reason I talk about this is because there's two ways that you can look at the income tax, I mean the tariff. You can look at it as protectionism, in which case you're going to be specific about particular industries, not necessarily about particular industries, not necessarily

Starting point is 01:23:26 about particular states, right? They didn't care whether, if they had competition for iron goods, they didn't care if those iron goods were coming from Germany or from Britain, right? We're going to protect the iron industry, so we're going to put a high tax on it and make sure that it doesn't come in from any country. That's protectionism. That's not what Trump is doing. And then under Jefferson it was about revenue. Well that's also not what Trump is doing. I mean we're still not anywhere close to even though he leaves the income tax on and adds the tariff as a second tax.

Starting point is 01:24:06 We're still not anywhere close to paying for the federal government, so it's not about revenue either. And what is he doing with these tariffs? He's targeting not an industry. He's not trying to protect them from iron competition. He's targeting specific countries. He's targeting Canada. And he's lying about the basis for the targeting of Canada. There is no immigration problem coming from Canada, and there is no fentanyl problem coming from Canada. He's targeting Canada. Why?

Starting point is 01:24:37 Well, we can speculate about why he's trying to do it, but the bottom line is this is not protectionism. He's not protecting anybody. He's not to do it. But the bottom line is this is not protectionism. He's not protecting anybody. He's not protecting any industry. He's not protecting anybody from immigration or fentanyl. He's targeting Canada. And when he looks at China, these are abroad across the board. He's not specifically targeting and trying to protect a particular industry.

Starting point is 01:25:04 He's not coming after semiconductors or anything like that. He's just everything, everything. So the Wall Street Journal says the tariff war risks sinking the world into a Great Depression. This is coming from the International Chamber of Commerce, which I do not support. I mean, these people are radical, globalists and everything. However, they're looking at this and they know that if you go back to these fourth turnings, you look at the Industrial Revolution and the Civil Wars that were happening in America and Italy and other countries at the time.

Starting point is 01:25:37 These fourth turnings are always accompanied by major fiscal disruption. They're also accompanied by distrust of institutions, people looking at institutions, they're corrupt, they don't work, let's get rid of them. And they're usually accompanied by war. We look at our Four Turnings, we had the Revolutionary War, we had the Civil War, we had the World War II, and we know that World War II and you know, we know that World War II was a company with a great depression but there were fiscal issues that were involved in the others as well. And so, you know, they're looking at this and they're essentially basically following the script, folks.

Starting point is 01:26:17 Just like he followed the script for Dark Winter. So they said, our deep concern is because we have the start of a downward spiral that puts us in the 1930s trade war territory. This is really more about creating chaos, distrust in institutions, and then creating war. And that's exactly what Doge is about as well. Trump is following the script, folks, for the fourth turning, just like he followed the script for the fake pandemic and roll the vaccine out quickly. That's not tested and all the rest of the stuff.

Starting point is 01:26:53 Dark winter that they practiced for 20 years. They did the first one two weeks, two months before 9 11. So the Trump terrorists are not focused on industries to protect them, like the McKinley and the Jackson abomination tariffs. They're not large enough to fund the government because, and this is the other thing, these MAGA influencers out there, the same people that are around there pushing the Jeffrey Epstein files and nonsense, these same people are either telling you, oh, he's going to get rid of the income tax. No, he's not. He made it very clear that he's keeping the income tax. He throws out these things, like he says, you know it

Starting point is 01:27:28 was better when the government was funded by tariffs than when it was funded by an income tax. Well, I agree, but the real issue is not the form of taxation as much as it was the size of government and the size of the taxes. That was the real reason that everything was better under McKinley. And so we can talk about the way that we're going to collect taxes, but any form of taxation, Ron Paul has said this as well. He says, if you don't cut down the size of government,

Starting point is 01:27:55 any form of taxation is going to be oppressive. And if you get it down really small, the form really doesn't matter all that much. But what has mattered to Republicans in the past was that they didn't want to have, in the name of tax reform, they didn't want to wind up with the income tax plus a new tax, which is exactly what we got. And nobody wants to say anything about it because it's Trump, just like they won't criticize BlackRock being given Panama now, the Panama Canal.

Starting point is 01:28:23 They won't criticize that either, because it's Trump. And so, quite frankly, as I said, these Trump terrorists are not about funding the government. They're not about protecting an industry. They're targeting countries. And you've got to ask yourself why. Why is Trump picking a fight with Canada? Why is he picking a fight with Mexico? Yeah, I understand

Starting point is 01:28:45 Mexico. Massive drug trade, massive immigration stuff. You could say it was about that, except for the fact that he's doing, he's treating Canada the same way that he treats Mexico, which tells me that it's not about those things even with Mexico, even though those are problems with Mexico. I don't think it's about that with Mexico. I think he's targeting them. And what is the end game with all this stuff? Well, I'll tell you what I think the end game is with all of this stuff that Trump is doing. I think the end game is ultimately about turning stuff over to his friends, like we just saw in Panama.

Starting point is 01:29:18 I think that's what this is truly about. Well let's take a look at what Trudeau has to say. Because as North American House of Poe, who is from Canada, said, Trump is going to hand this over to the Liberals. What he is doing is making the Liberals look good. Should these tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures. Measures which will demonstrate that there are no winners in a trade war.

Starting point is 01:29:54 Now, just like I did a month ago, I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally and we don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, I've never agreed with Trudeau before on anything. Inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your country. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces that succeed because of materials from Canada or because of consumers in Canada or both. They've chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items like groceries and gas, on major purchases like cars and homes, and everything in between.

Starting point is 01:30:59 Exactly. What is the purpose of all this stuff? And again, all of these lying influencers for Trump, they're telling you, oh, he's going to get rid of the income tax. He's going to get rid of the income tax. He never said that. As a matter of fact, he said just the opposite. I'm going to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. I'm going to eliminate taxes on tips and maybe on Social Security or whatever.

Starting point is 01:31:24 But that means that he's going gonna keep it for everything else. That means that he's not eliminating even the corporate income tax. He's taking it down to 15%, which the globalist all got together under Biden and said, we're not gonna let, none of us are going to take our taxes below 15%. So he takes it down to the level

Starting point is 01:31:42 that they tell him he can't go below. So he takes it down to the level that they tell him he can't go below. And so we're winding up with a massive new tax. You've got Trudeau out there talking about this, and again, I guess that's the first time I've ever agreed to this, but he's being, this world economic form puppet is being rescued by Trump. And Trump is using the same Democrat tax everybody playbook. Don't worry this is not going to be a tax on you. It's going to be a tax on somebody else and they deserve it because they're bad. Right? That's always been the way that Democrats talk when they raise taxes.

Starting point is 01:32:25 So Trump's tariffs could raise prices of fruits and vegetables within days, warns the CEO of Target. So consumers will likely see price increases over the next couple of days. We depended on Mexico for a significant amount of supply during the winter months. Mexico and Canada supplied 51% and 2% of fresh fruit imports, 69% and 20% respectively of fresh vegetable imports in 2022, according to the USDA. Cornell, who is the CEO, said that the 10% additional tariffs on Chinese imports is now 20%... well, now on top of the other 10% imposed earlier, so it's now 20 percent. He says that's less of a threat to immediate price hikes at Target,

Starting point is 01:33:10 as they have reduced their reliance on Chinese imports from 60 percent to 30 percent over the past few years. But again, these retaliatory measures are coming back now from China, from Canada, from even from Mexico. They say they're going to do something. I don't know why. China said it will impose an additional 15% tariff on a range of products including chicken, wheat, and cotton, and expand export controls. Now when Trump did this his first time around, their retaliatory tariffs were focused, they were focused.

Starting point is 01:33:44 See, Trump focused on China as a country They focused on agriculture Because they that's the key thing that they buy from us, but they also were focused on an industry And it put a lot of farmers out of business even though Trump eventually came around and gave them some stimulus checks a lot Of them lost their business and the ones who didn't really hurt them. And they still haven't, some of them, fully recovered. A Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta study estimates that this could lead to prices

Starting point is 01:34:13 on around a quarter of all consumer spending to rise, 0.81% or 1.63% if the costs are fully transferred. So they don't know how the different people will react with us now lucky Lutnik came out yesterday afternoon commerce secretary and Said they would probably be rolled back maybe as soon as today And so you got to ask yourself. What is the strategy? He's not trying to raise revenue. He's not trying to protect an industry He might he puts these things out one day and then takes them off the next day He's not trying to raise revenue. He's not trying to protect an industry.

Starting point is 01:34:45 He puts these things out one day and then takes them off the next day. What is the purpose of this? Chaos. He's an agent of chaos. We need to get smart. Hey Chief, what's going on here? Groceries are about to get more expensive. So here's what to store up on says Hurston Yahoo

Starting point is 01:35:08 Before the terrorists go up But you know still there's absolutely nothing like the egg flation that we're seeing and the egg flation is 100% approved by the USDA And by the Trump administration and by the agricultural secretary. 100% USDA approved. Crisis, manufactured crisis, and again, this is another pointless war against us. The egg thing is even bigger than what's going on with Canada, I think, because it is so

Starting point is 01:35:44 foundational to our food supply. So they're saying 77% of our fresh produce comes from Mexico. They're not breaking out fruit and vegetables or anything, but they're actually still coming up with a higher number, because maybe they don't know. Yeah, maybe they don't really know. Maybe the USDA doesn't really know. Just like the Department of Labor doesn't really know. Maybe the USDA doesn't really know. Just like the Department of Labor doesn't really know what the unemployment rate is,

Starting point is 01:36:09 or if they do, they lie to you, right? Or what the inflation rate is, or if they do, they lie to you. As a matter of fact, the other thing that Lutnick said was he started talking about how we're going to change the way we calculate the gross domestic product. Do you think that he's looking at the gross domestic product getting worse? When inflation really started kicking off, they said, let's change the way we calculate inflation. So, what do you think is going to, what is it telegraphed to us when the Commerce Secretary,

Starting point is 01:36:41 Lutnik, says, we've got to change the way we're calculating GDP. Tells you that GDP is about to go bad. That's what it tells me. Well, so regardless of all of this stuff, why not just end the income tax if you want to help people? And even more so, a comment here from DG80 says, the idea of tariffs tariffs is great but unfortunately the US is not set to manufacture at this time. A tariff of maybe 1% per year doubling every year

Starting point is 01:37:11 would bring manufacturing back. It's kind of interesting. Scott Besant, his Treasury Secretary, when they were talking about the different tariffs he said yeah what we'll do is we'll ramp them up. You know if we take it up to 25% we might you know start out with 5% one month and then 10% the next month and 15% the next, till we get up to our target of 20 or 25% or whatever it's going to be. But we'll roll it out gradually. And then they say, well, it's all at once. Nope, not going to do that.

Starting point is 01:37:38 It's going to be all at once. So there's this chaos within the administration. Nobody knows what anybody else is doing. And then the next day they take it off. So we'll give them another 30 days. Now he puts it back on. And then later that afternoon, you got the commerce secretary saying, well, probably, you know, we'll roll back some of this stuff.

Starting point is 01:37:55 What is going on with it? There isn't any coherent plan folks. There's no strategy. Um, it's dumb and dumber time. I'm back to where we were with the election, you know, between Trump and Lala. It's dumb or dumber time. Nobody knows what they're doing. They don't have any plan for any of this stuff. There's no point in any of it. Trump and Trudeau are working together, he says, both puppets of the World Economic Forum. I think it's about chaos and the rest of the stuff. He says we need to wake people up to what

Starting point is 01:38:27 happens on Education Day March the 15th. Every year the president meets with Shabadd Lubavitch and signs the Noahide laws claiming America was founded on them. I've not seen that but I'll take a look at this. Beware the Ides of March. That is aware of the Noahide laws and that is not what our country is based on. Going back to this, they're suggesting that you stock up on cereal grains, on avocados, which almost all come from Mexico. 90% of avocados are imported from Mexico and the U.S. Beer and liquor, I think we'll pass on that one. Maple syrup though.

Starting point is 01:39:06 You might want to stock up on maple syrup because it doesn't just come from Vermont. A lot of it comes from Canada and he points out that it even after you open it, it'll stay fresh for about a year. It lasts for two years when kept sealed and in a cool and dry place. Meat is something to think about because Canada is the largest supplier of meat products to the US. Is that part of why this is happening? Because you know that it's like the Trump administration is pursuing these policies not for the stated reasons of the C40, of Bloomberg and Sadiq Khan and all the rest of these people say we don't

Starting point is 01:39:45 want you to have any meat or dairy or anything. But you know, you look at the cars, he's going to destroy the automobile industry with his stuff. That's where the big price increases are going to be coming. Forget about avocados, okay? It is the automobiles that are going to really be under pressure. So one-two punch from Biden and Trump. They come at him from different angles

Starting point is 01:40:06 you get a left hook and then you get a supposedly right hook even though I think that Donald Trump is a lefty Fresh and frozen produce they said since a lot of the stuff is coming in from Mexico 88% of Mexico's produce Eventually ends up in the US some Some of it fresh, some of it frozen. So I said stock up on that while you can. So it's a word of the wise. But in a word, what are the Trump tariffs about? ABC News quotes a person who says this is just dumb.

Starting point is 01:40:38 Just dumb. There's no apparent strategy to any of this stuff. And they put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off. Canada, Mexico blasts these historic Trump tariffs, threaten retaliation. And again, what was he trying to do with his, I didn't like the USMCA. I didn't like NAFTA. USMCA was NAFTA rebranded, warmed over. But he was so proud of it.

Starting point is 01:41:02 What has changed with all this? It is going back to the technocracy. We're going to talk about that coming up. Hours after the trade war broke out, Commerce Secretary Howard Leutnick said on Tuesday afternoon that Trump may soon offer Canada and Mexico a pathway to relief from tariffs placed on some of these goods covered by North American Free Trade Agreement. Oh, so we're going to honor some of that then? Here's the interesting thing.

Starting point is 01:41:31 When you look at NAFTA and when you look at the USMCA, and again, he says covered by North America Free Trade Agreement, they don't capitalize Free Trade Agreement. So this is not NAFTA. NAFTA was replaced by USMCA. But when you look at these trade agreements, what happens if they raise taxes in a way that they had already agreed under this treaty not to do it? Well, for both NAFTA and the USMCA, they have treaty lawyers. And it is a process of arbitration. One of the reasons why I disagreed with this

Starting point is 01:42:07 was because it puts corporations on equal footing with the governments and things like that. But corporations that are involved in all this stuff, for example, you could take Ford, GM, Stellantis, they could basically bring charges against the Trump administration. It would be a long drawn out process. And of course, meanwhile, they're losing money.

Starting point is 01:42:30 But if they wanted to, they could bring up an arbitration process on this USMCA stuff and stop Trump dead in his tracks over this. He doesn't have the authority to do this. And as I pointed out from the very beginning, the terrorists are supposed to arise from Congress, not from the President. So, anyway, Lutnick goes on to say, I think he's going to work something out with them. It's not going to be a pause. None of that pause stuff, he says. But I think he's going to figure out, you do more and I'll meet you in the middle some way and we're going

Starting point is 01:43:05 to probably be announcing that tomorrow," he said yesterday. Lutnick said. Folks, these guys are just Atlantic City gangsters. That's all they are. Organized crime. Mobsters. He's a mob boss. They don't care about the rule of law.

Starting point is 01:43:24 This is about, you know, hey, I'm holding all the cards here. You're in a very weak position here. You do what I say. It's that type of thing. Trump alleged that illicit drugs such as fentanyl had continued to enter the US through Mexico and Canada. Again, that was all lies. It's all coming through Mexico.

Starting point is 01:43:42 And Trump said when Trudeau pushed back with that he did about a 20 minute speech I only played about a minute and a half of it, but when Trudeau pushed back Trump puts up on truth social, please explain to governor Trudeau of Canada. This is a 51st state, you know Playing to his audience What a reprehensible creep he is. When he puts on a retaliatory tariff on the US, our reciprocal tariff will be immediately increased by a like amount. There you go.

Starting point is 01:44:16 That's the Chicago way, the New York City way, the mobster way that we're going to do this here. As many are saying, Trump's most inexplicable decision yet. Spectacularly foolish, but even more so. It's not even the foolishness of it. There's no strategy. It's not about protectionism. It's not about revenue. It's about attacking a country. What for? Why is he doing that? Why is he singling out a country, not an industry? He's not enough to, he's not going to replace the income tax with it The new tariffs will raise prices for American consumers. It'll weaken the American auto industry It'll prompt severe retaliation from America's top trading partners

Starting point is 01:44:56 With respect to China a case can be made the tariffs would promote US national security and domestic industry If they were targeted and well designed. But they're not targeted and they're not well designed. They're just across the board. Like I said, you want to target them for semiconductors or for AI that they want to compete with them on or something like that. Oh fine, if you did that, you could say, well, there's a purpose to it. It's just across the board.

Starting point is 01:45:24 The 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are utterly incomprehensible, higher than they are on China. There's no grand economic vision. There is no geopolitical strategy or even political logic behind them. Trump's tariffs are a rare policy that might turn out to represent nothing but cost. That is nothing but chaos, and I think that is his goal. And look, he's going to get it too. The Canadian Premier threatens to cut electricity to millions of Americans as Trudeau announces

Starting point is 01:45:54 retaliatory tariffs. And this is Ontario Premier Doug Ford went further, said his province was ready to cut off electricity to millions of Americans in New York, Minnesota and Michigan. If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything, including cut off their energy with a smile on my face." So this is everybody's going to get out there, they're going to beat their chest, and who is it that's going to be harmed by this? And again, you've even got Poliev and not just Ford, who's a leftist, but you've got

Starting point is 01:46:26 Poliev who's there as a supposedly conservative. Everybody is now uniting behind World Economic Forum puppet Trudeau. Poliev vows to fight back against Trump's tariffs as well in Canada. He said at 12 a.m., President Trump, this is the conservative, President Trump stabbed America's best friend in the back, he said, in a 14-minute press conference. So Trudeau has one for 25 minutes, Poliev, who was, again, I have real issues about whether or not he's a true conservative, but still he was there, opposition to this stuff. He had a 15-15 minute conference.

Starting point is 01:47:07 He said, my message to the president is this, Canada will fight back. And again, Ford says he's going to, part of his response, he threatened to cut off electricity, but he's already cut off a contract that Elon Musk had for Starlink satellite internet. He said, it's done, it's gone. We won't award contracts to people who enable and who encourage economic attacks on our country. It's done, it's gone. Starlink.

Starting point is 01:47:44 So there we go. Soylent Goy says, I think Trump is going to cause more inflation and probably a recession because he's worried about the obesity problem. We'll all be scarecrows soon. Uh, MAGA. Uh, yeah, I don't know what, I think he is an agent of chaos. I think he is a globalist. I think he is a fifth of chaos. I think he is a globalist. I think he is a fifth column traitor, insider.

Starting point is 01:48:07 We know he's a traitor to our country when it comes to Israel, but he's a traitor to our country with a world economic forum and their agenda as well. Everything that he did in 2020 was for their benefit. He followed the plan to a T. And none of this stuff is for our benefit. He has big spats with other countries, so he can tell everybody that he's standing up for America. And yet, you know, he goes to the World Economic Forum, he hangs out with Klaus Schwab, and 10 days later, his pharmaceutical head of HHS declares a pandemic emergency when they could only scrounge up in their imagination six people that supposedly had this imaginary COVID-19 stuff. Angry Tiger, he's acting like a

Starting point is 01:48:54 bully, he's acting like a bully right on time. The rest of the world will be against us as well and we'll all be bullies. The children get together and stand up to him. Yeah, you know, and that's the other part of it too, he really is making America an international pariah. We're going to take a quick break folks and we'll be right back, but I want to introduce a product that we have. Well, I'll tell you what, we're talking about food. So let's get Alfred Hitchcock talking about the egg MacGuffin. The egg plays a very prominent part in my lecture.

Starting point is 01:49:33 Not a word about which came first, however, I don't believe in dealing with controversial matters. Thousands of years ago, man was satisfied merely to steal an egg from a nest and use it for food. Now he has perfected this process by imprisoning each hen in a separate cage and by scientifically manipulating the lights so that she doesn't fall into the rut of the old 24-hour day. Thus, he can induce the bird to reach fantastic heights of egg production. Alright, yeah, welcome back. And Karen has told me to take this out of the case.

Starting point is 01:50:12 I wanted to show you that it's in a protected case. This is, oh, I've got to pull this back. Everybody's away from the board here. This is something that Ryan, for the love of the road, did for us. It is really nice. He did a commemorative coin. Look at how large this is. And it's relief, it's bas relief, and it is also painted front and back. To give you a better view of this, we've got Benjamin Franklin.

Starting point is 01:50:40 A penny saved is a penny earned. Though that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them. Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin. Such as the new David Knight Show supporter commemorative coin. Saving these coins earns support for independent media. Featuring striking bas relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents. It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration, a way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.

Starting point is 01:51:14 It's a limited run of just 100 coins, so much like the penny. When they're gone, they're gone. They silence independent voices. They censor the truth. But you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance. These coins saved is the David Knight Show Sustained. Available now at the davidknightshow.com. You're listening to the David Knight show

Starting point is 01:51:47 I love that the end that Whistler put in there where he's got the David Knight character speaking. You're listening to the David Knight show He's got his lips moving. It's a really nice coin. We really appreciate Ryan doing that. He gets number one. They are all numbered at the bottom through 100. This one is 007 by the way. And how cool is that? But there's just 100 of them. And so we really do appreciate him doing that. And you can find them at TheDavidNightShow.com. Took us a while to get the website set up and to get the different packaging because

Starting point is 01:52:22 it's such a large coin. And we're all set to go now. And so we can take orders and so we're really happy and really grateful. That was such a nice gesture for Ryan to do and really to appreciate that. It's a really unusual coin and very nice. We thank him for that. Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with the technocracy, where

Starting point is 01:52:46 a lot of this stuff is going. And I thought it was interesting to see that Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, and of course long-term pal, Peter Thiel, who is also one of the co-founders of Palantir. And you've heard me talk about this many, many times. Palantir was one of the first and is still the most probably powerful and politically connected of all these companies that are spying on us for the government. He was there to collate information, all its geospatial intelligence that was there. And he's now written a book and he's doing a tour of media and this is kind of, he went on with, was it CNBC Squawk Box or something, I guess they're the ones that do that, I don't watch cable, but he goes on

Starting point is 01:53:36 with them and he's talking about how his leftist friends, which he really likes, he's a hardcore leftist Democrat, he says I really want to see the Democrat Party not disappear. He's wringing his hands like James Carville over what is happening with the Democrats, but he thinks their problem is that they just won't bow to the smartest man around, which is Elon Musk. He says, they're not left, they're not right, they're not Democrat, they're not Republican, they're technocrat. And so here is Karp talking about that aspect, and then we'll talk about his book, which

Starting point is 01:54:12 is called Technological Republic. Or they could call it the Technate, or they could call it the Technocracy, all those words fit. Here's Alex Karp talking about Doge, and how the Democrats know what's good for them. We'll go along with Doge. There's two revolutions happening. One is transparency and one is AI. Okay, so why is it that we do not know where every penny of our money goes? Like, how do you explain that to people? And by the way, slightly more technically, what large language models do is they mean

Starting point is 01:54:44 you can go into the contracts and see exactly what happened. So in the past we couldn't do this, now we can. The right response is we want this to happen, we want to be involved in the dialogue. The real response is it feels like the people criticizing Elon don't want it to happen. And this is going to destroy those people. Alex Karp, the book is called The Technological Republic. We want to thank you for being here. You can come back tomorrow.

Starting point is 01:55:10 You can come back tomorrow. Can you come back tomorrow? Yeah, can you come back every day? We'd just love to talk to you every day. Well, think about what he was saying. You had this transparency revolution, it's part of it, right? And what he means is that we've never been able

Starting point is 01:55:24 to go in before and Data mine the way they can data mine that that's what Palantir does. That's what all this stuff is about and so to be able to go in and grab the information and collate it and Make sense of it and everything and that's what you should really be afraid of That kind of transparency because that's going to be there in every aspect of our life, whether you're talking about continually auditing us for the IRS or for something else, or continually auditing our speech and our attitudes and our political and religious beliefs.

Starting point is 01:55:59 That's what this has always been designed for. Geospatial engineering is the fastest growing part of the intelligence community from the late 90s when they started creating These social media companies they started creating these internet companies and everything that were operating for free for many years Where were they getting the money to operate and it gets so big? Well, they're being funded by the US government Through the back door through these venture capital firms that were also created But of course the CIA had its own venture capital firm

Starting point is 01:56:24 But they had the rest of these intelligence people setting on the venture capital boards that were there. And so this has been the fastest growing part of the intelligence community. James Clapper came up through geospatial intelligence. That was where he rose quickly and got to the top. But this is the concerning thing. They've been saving the data forever.

Starting point is 01:56:46 Say forever, you know, for the last 25 or so years. Everything that everybody does. That's what these big data centers that they've got, the one that's in Bluffdale, Utah, that's in the middle of the desert using massive amounts of energy, massive amounts of water, more than you would use water and energy for a city. They're using that to store the information. So they can then go back in and collate it. And of course that's not the only data center that they've got. And they don't worry about the carbon footprint of those things, do they? Or the water usage or anything else. And now he says what this is going to be done in in our technological republic, we're going to have transparency. That means the government can go in and see everything that you're doing, is what he's

Starting point is 01:57:25 saying. Transparency is not good in that respect. Everything that's being done with Doge, going in and finding all of the details and sorting it out, that's all being done by AIs, not just a half dozen people that are there. They're directing the AI and they're using the AI. And that's how this tyranny is going to roll out. It's going to be artificial intelligence and this technology that is going to be under the direction and the use of a few people for evil means.

Starting point is 01:57:56 That's what this is truly about. And so his book, The Technological Republic, it came out about two weeks ago. The reviews, people are very, very excited about it. So his book, The Technological Republic, that came out about two weeks ago, the reviews – people are very, very excited about it – from the Palantir co-founder and the economist, the guy the economist called the quote, best CEO of 2024, and his deputy, it is a sweeping indictment of the West's culture of complacency, one of Financial Times' most anticipated books of the year.

Starting point is 01:58:27 And I played for you a clip that he had a couple weeks ago when he was doing an investor thing and he was talking about how much he enjoys it, how much money they are making and how they get to come after the people they think are bad guys and he says, and yes, we kill some of them. That is what we're looking for. That's what these people are going to be doing. In this groundbreaking treatise, one of the text's boldest thinkers and his long-time deputy offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of ambition.

Starting point is 01:58:59 I say the new arms race of artificial intelligence. Government in turn must embrace the most effective features of the engineering mindset that have propelled Silicon Valley's success. Boy, this is technocracy in a nutshell, isn't it? You've got to embrace this. You've got to become like us. Government needs to be technocrats, right? It needs to be a technocracy. That's what they're saying throughout all of this.

Starting point is 01:59:28 Now, some of the comments on Reddit in response to this, well, a little bit more about the review here, this review. At once iconoclastic and rigorous, this book will also lift the veil on Palantir, I don't think so, and its broader political project from the inside offering a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality. Our new reality? That they're in charge. That they can see everything that we're doing.

Starting point is 01:59:57 Yeah, welcome to your new reality. First comment here, person says, I just threw up a little bit. I don't want to tell you what these a-holes don't want to confront. That's whether or not the copyrighted stuff that they're using to train their AI is covered under fair use doctrine. Yeah, all their AI stuff is all based on theft. You know, YouTube, that's their thing as well. They are stealing this stuff from people. So one person says, basically what they started off with was a tool for intelligence agencies, that's right, to scrape and to assemble personal data from individuals from different sources,

Starting point is 02:00:43 like pulling your Facebook profile and connecting it to your Google Maps data etc. Then because of money they thought it's a good idea to sell this to regular companies. There were some cases that caused a stir when managers abused the access to info that they basically had to spy on the private life of their employees. I tried to dig this up as I'm writing it and I can't find much about it. Very sus. These companies are making fortunes because they're making stuff no one with a moral spine in their body would consider to build.

Starting point is 02:01:17 Peter Thiel is a libertarian who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of money and power. It should come as no surprise that the CEO of his company is right up there with the other tech nutjobs." And I wouldn't even call him a libertarian, right? One of the things that I thought was a good expression of course, the libertarian party has now thrown out the non-aggression principle, but it was always, I do not support the use, the initiation, I do not support the initiation of force or fraud to achieve social or political goals. Well, they do support the initiation of force and fraud. They'll kill people, they'll be fraud people, they'll steal to get what they want.

Starting point is 02:01:58 So do they spell out exactly what ideological confrontation they think is necessary? Because they refer to that as ideological confrontation. What confrontation do they think is necessary? Because they refer to that as ideological confrontation. What confrontation do they think is necessary in the book? Or are they still nervous to say out loud that they think they inherently deserve to be rulers and that they think eugenics is good, actually? Well, it's even worse than that because it's beyond eugenics. I mean we're talking about transhumanism, we're talking about post-humanism. I mean they're not trying to breed good humans, they're trying to breed the humanity out of

Starting point is 02:02:34 us, trying to merge us with machines. And that is Palantir and that is Teal and Karp and Elon Musk. And you notice how even though he's, well, I really like the Democrat party, but they need to get with the program. They need to understand that we're going to rule them. They need to understand that Elon Musk has got tools that they can't comprehend and he's going to control them. They better not oppose him.

Starting point is 02:02:58 That's essentially what he's saying. So technology in the American Republic, the Technological Republic, the subtitle of the book is Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West. Now I'm not sure what he's saying about soft belief, but I think they've gone soft on any principles. They've gone soft on any principles of the West, Western civilization, Western civilization's Christianity and the principles that were there. Writing the artificial intelligence wave, Palantir's stock price soared about 370%

Starting point is 02:03:37 over the last 12 months, and about 60% since the beginning of the year. This is one of the reasons why he was so gleeful as he was talking about killing people that got in his way. Karp has an unusual background for tech billionaire. He's a graduate of Haverford College and Stanford Law School where he met Peter Thiel. He also earned a PhD in neoclassical social theory from Goethe University in Frankfurt. In 2002, he completed his dissertation in German, the formidable title of which translated is Aggression in the Lifeworld, the extension of Parsons' concept of aggression by describing the connection between jargon, aggression and

Starting point is 02:04:26 culture. Seems like he's kind of aggressive person. He also he's aggressive, he wants to know everything that you're doing, he wants to map you out, he's proud of the fact that he kills his enemies, all that stuff. So he says in the book we can and we must do better. Do better than what? Do better than the society that we've got. We can do better than the Constitution. We got to do better than individual liberty. We don't got to have technocrats ruling us. He says the software industry should rebuild its relationship with the government and redirect its effort and its attention to constructing the technology and the AI capabilities that will address the most pressing challenges that we collectively face.

Starting point is 02:05:09 It is an existential thing for us to have AI that puts us in charge of everyone and everything that can be weaponized against the people in this country and can be weaponized against other countries as well. So this is their arms race that they're pushing. As one person sums it up, trust me, I'm a technocrat. That's basically what they're telling you. Trust me, I'm a technocrat. Technocracy ascending.

Starting point is 02:05:39 Yeah. So that's coming from Technocracy Dash News, and he has always focused on the technocracy. He is fully aware of what these guys are up to as well. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. 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 s**t in the store Because of your low social credit score Oh Own nothing. Be happy. You will own nothing. And be happy. Be happy

Starting point is 02:06:59 and eat the bugs. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual Global Risk Report makes for a stunning and sobering read. For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate. It is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You are listening to the David Knight Show. Em Sellers, thank you very much. He's an awesome DK show coin and I thank Ryan for that love of the road who put that together. That was his entire design. He took it upon himself

Starting point is 02:08:10 and sent it to us. It's really nice. I'm going to keep one of those. So we got 99. Well, actually, I'm going to give Ryan one of them too. He gets number one. We'll have 99 of them on the wall. 98 on the wall. Take one down, you pass it around. Trump's Commerce Secretary claims that 250,000 people are already waiting for gold cards, but there's nowhere for them to sign up. So they rolled this out before they had their way. That's why we had to keep the coin, you know, we had to get the website set up. I want to look a little bit deeper at this thing that's going to be happening,

Starting point is 02:08:48 some of the lead up to this so-called Bitcoin reserve, which is really not about a reserve at all, I don't think. And I think he really kind of tipped his hand when he talked about that. Another compliment there from 12 June 1776. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. And Trucker Chris, for the win, thank you very much for the much. I appreciate that. And Trucker Chris, for the win. Thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. Let's talk a little bit about what they are planning to do, because this all folds into, you know, the robber barons and the technocrats and everything, because again, this history rhymes. It doesn't exactly repeat. We had the robber barons were there with railroad businesses and stuff like that. Now these robber barons who are there with railroad businesses and stuff like that.

Starting point is 02:09:25 Now these robber barons in the 21st century have got their AI and their crypto coins and all the rest of this stuff. The gold card visa program. Touting that there's already 250,000 waiting in line for the visa pathway that the gold card program could soon replace. He went on a leutnick dead with a Brett Baer on Fox News, again spell it P-H-O-X for the pharmaceuticals that they push, so that if 250,000 people were willing to pay the five million that the gold car requires it would amount to over a trillion dollars to stimulate the US economy and to pay down the national debt. So the government can filter some more of this to him and to his cronies to purchase stuff at over inflated prices.

Starting point is 02:10:11 Or maybe it's just going to be like Catherine Ross and Fitts said, a big pump and dump. You know, put our assets into this volatile currency, pump it up, have it crash. It's like, oh, sorry now we got to pay this off. We're going to have to steal the land. And we're going to sell off all the land, because they're selling off the citizenship stuff as well. So are we a slave to this government created debt? Oh yes, we are. I-O-I-O, that's off to work I go, right? It's the same thing with these government debts. It's going to be land and citizenship for sale to the rich to pay off this debt.

Starting point is 02:10:50 Is that the real purpose of Doge? I think it is. They want to do this as much as possible, then they're going to have this big pump and dump, then a liquidation sale. Americathon, everything's gotta go. Well, Lutnik said that this gold card, again, would replace the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program. It is not launched, so there's no way to apply for it yet. It is expected to be there in roughly two weeks.

Starting point is 02:11:19 Now, Trump said, I'm not giving away citizenship. So what is it that he's giving away with this? Well, the EB-5 program was a program to get permanent residency. Very much like a green card type of thing, but with the EB-5s, they were created in 1990 as a method for immigrants to obtain a green card. To get the green card through the EB-5 program, you had to

Starting point is 02:11:47 invest at least a million dollars in a company or $800,000 in a low-income area that would employ at least 10 people. And we've seen things like this in the Solana solar scam during the Democrats and things like that. It's been a corrupt program. But the interesting thing about the EB-5 applicants is the number of them every year. Analysis of data at tables indicates that there is currently a backlog of anywhere from 24,000 to 60,000 applicants, but that's nowhere close to the 250,000 applicants that he says.

Starting point is 02:12:30 So he says, �Well, you got 250,000 people who want to get in.� Well, you got a program here where they can pay a million dollars to get in, or let's say 800 if they do it in a preferred area. But let's just talk about a million. So a million versus five million. You've got six, maybe as many as 60,000 people trying to get in on the one million level. There's gonna be fewer people coming in at the five million level, but Lutnik is saying 250,000. Where are these people gonna be coming in? In

Starting point is 02:13:02 other words, it's not gonna be a trillion dollars coming into the coffers. It's not going to be that big. But it will be there for some of their friends who are coming in. And I think that's the key issue. What country are they going to be coming in from? Because the EB-5 had limits in terms of how many people could come in from various countries. I mean, we could have with this, we could have people coming in from Saudi Arabia, we could have people coming in from Afghanistan.

Starting point is 02:13:30 You know, I mean, don't tell me that with all the palates of cash they left behind, you couldn't find some Taliban who could scrape up a measly $5 million to come in and buy permanent residency. Or you could have a bunch of Israelis who would come in, the Gaza developers. Who knows? I think that there's something here that they're not expecting 250,000 people, but they want to make a way for some of their friends to come in. So the US allocates approximately 18,700 EB-5 visas. It caps that number, the

Starting point is 02:14:09 caps the number that can be given to individuals from a specific country. So I'm assuming that this new program is not going to be any caps from a specific country. We might have all the people in the UAE buy an American citizenship. They could afford it. In 2024 more than 4,500 EB-5 visas were issued. So what is that? So the EB-5 visa is a way of getting the green card. What does the green card give you? Permanent residency, but you can't vote and you don't have a U.S. passport. And if you commit certain types of crimes that they've enumerated, they can deport you rather than imprison you. Okay, so that's what the green card is about.

Starting point is 02:14:55 So the question is, if this is going to be a green card plus, what kind of things are they going to add to it to sweeten the deal? So that people would pay five million instead of one million or eight hundred thousand. What is it that they're going to do? Well, the interesting thing is that they're not going to require them to pay tax on their non-U.S. income. So the U.S. government has always taxed all foreign income as well as all domestic income. And so that's going to be the big thing that they're offering these cats.

Starting point is 02:15:31 You know, you can have American residency, but you don't have to pay taxes on your foreign investments that are there and your foreign income. And that is not what is there with the HB-5 program. The HB-5, they get their green card, they got to pay taxes on everything, including their foreign earnings. So think about this. These people come in and give five million dollars, they get benefits superior to Americans, because Americans have to pay taxes on any foreign earnings as well as domestic earnings, but these

Starting point is 02:16:07 people with the gold card Don't have to America first No No money first money first for the Trump administration and everything So no cap on the number of gold cards issued, no caps on any country, no foreign taxes, no taxes on foreign income, no vetting I'm sure. 200,000 of these gold green cards is a trillion dollars to pay down our debt

Starting point is 02:16:36 said Lutnik. Yeah that's not going to happen. There's something else going on with this. Again just like the tariffs, this is not about raising money, and you know, just like tariffs are not about raising money, they're not about protecting an industry, it's about attacking a country. This has got some other agenda attached to it as well. They said it's even more unlikely that 1 million foreigners would apply for They said it's even more unlikely that one million foreigners would apply for a gold card. And they say that because when you look at how many people are millionaires and how many people are wealthy enough that they could pay five million dollars for this. So there's approximately 424,000 people in the world with a net worth of 30 million dollars or more and 277,000 of them live overseas.

Starting point is 02:17:27 So if Lucky Leutnik was telling you the truth, which you can pretty much count on the fact that if he's talking it's not the truth, I don't think he'd ever tell you the truth about anything. So he says 250,000 people want to come in. Well there's only 277,000 people living overseas who have a net worth of 30 million or more. Nearly half of the 424,000 people that have a net worth of 30 million, and they just looked at that and said, well, I think this is an arbitrary cutoff point. If you've got a net worth of 30 million and you really want American residency for some reason, you could afford to pay the $5 million.

Starting point is 02:18:04 But there's only 277,000 people who have a net worth of $30 million or more that are not already living in America. And the question is, do we really like a system here where anybody who's got $30 million can be an American, no loyalty required, just cash, just cash. And look, they may not be able to vote, but they can buy politicians. It's far more important to have the money to buy a politician. That may be what this is about. I really don't know.

Starting point is 02:18:40 Honestly, I don't know why he would do something like this. Trump has come up with one crazy idea, one chaotic idea after the other in just a very short period of time. So let's take a look at this strategic Bitcoin reserve. And again, as Catherine Austin-Fitz said, I get the idea of a strategic petroleum reserve, which Biden did his best to destroy. We need to have something that is useful like oil in case sources of it dry up suddenly or cut off suddenly by political enemies. But what do we need this stuff for?

Starting point is 02:19:16 You can't do anything useful with a Bitcoin. I mean, you could do something. A gold reserve, that is something that is useful because it's accepted everywhere. Not just where MasterCard and Visa are applied, you know. So the Trump crypto strategy, he focused on ADA, XRP, and SOL, which doesn't mean substance out of luck, right? Although it may mean that for us. That may be the reality of what is happening.

Starting point is 02:19:48 Um, and we saw all these things get pumped and dumped. Uh, I guess, you know, part of it is to, um, you buy on rumor and you sell on news. And so, uh, but this was a little bit different. Uh, it went up so much that people immediately started selling it even before the news as to what Trump is going to do with these things is announced. You had huge gains, 72% gains for the cryptocurrency ADA. Immediately. Immediately. And so, you know, a lot of people wanted to take their profits on it.

Starting point is 02:20:22 So let's take a look at these three currencies. What are they? XRP. This is attached to take their profits on it. So let's take a look at these three currencies. What are they? XRP. This is attached to a company called Ripple. It was designed to do fast transactions. It is not designed and of course, we look at the hijacking of Bitcoin. Roger Bear and others have talked about it and had Aaron Day come on. He said, yeah, it was originally set up to do transactions and try to do transactions

Starting point is 02:20:44 without using Federal Reserve notes, fiat currency. But then it got hijacked and it became an asset that people would buy and trade and gamble on, right? That's the hijacking of it. Taking something that was set up to do transactions, you know, like I'm going to buy a pizza with Bitcoin. And, you know, now you look at it after they turned it into a an asset to be hoarded Now the people who bought that first transaction of pizza, you know

Starting point is 02:21:12 They have a day where they celebrate that and I don't know what it's up to now But you know, it's like hundreds of millions of dollars, you know for for buying a pizza in today's value. So XRP came along it was designed for fast transactions. They are targeting institutions though, not really individuals with XRP. There is no proof of work on any of these three, on XRP, ADA, or SOL, which is Solana. And again, proof of work is what all the mining of Bitcoin is about. It's to keep it honest, right? You've got to do some calculations to process these things. Well, they're not doing any of that. Instead, what they're doing is they're going to proof of stake. The initials

Starting point is 02:21:57 for that are POS, which also are initials for what this whole thing is. It is all is a piece of s. And so, but the proof of stake, stakeholders, right? What this means, I've got the authority to do this. And I'm a trusted individual or whatever. You need to trust me as an institution. All three of these are about POS. And CBDC was about POS. That was a major distinction between CBDC and Bitcoin. Was that Bitcoin was about proof of work and the CBDCs are just going to be, well this belongs to the central bank so you can trust it. That type of thing. And that raised a lot of red flags with a lot of people, but you know, these things were set up again. XRP was set up to target institutions to do fast transactions, no proof of work, and it relies on trusted validators.

Starting point is 02:22:53 It's not designed as a store of value. It's not really for retail. It's really for financial institutions and processing transactions. It is highly centralized. It is owned by just a few people. As a matter of fact, they are not, you know, creating these coins with a mining process. They had a hundred billion tokens and they were all there at creation, at the moment of creation, you know know kind of like the angels you know there's nothing angelic about this stuff but the they had a hundred billion of these tokens and they kept 80% of them themselves and so they're using this as

Starting point is 02:23:43 a transactional thing so this this would be, you know, international, settling international transactions, you know, kind of like Swift or something like that. And that is a function that they need to have for CBDC. And it's also about tokenization, which is a function that they need to have in order to steal everything from us, steal all of our land, steal everything. This is, you go back to Lutnik, you know, this guy, and I assume that, you know, he is probably going to be taking his grandkid to kindergarten the day that the economy crashes like 9-11 towers, you know. He will be taking a powder on all this stuff.

Starting point is 02:24:21 But he will have tokenized everything. That's what all these people around Trump are about. They're all about derivatives, tokenization, and everything else. Anyway, the other one, ADA, created in 2017, launched by the co-founder of Ethereum. It is also a POS, proof of stake. It supports NFTs, the kind of stuff that Lutnik has been involved with. It supports smart contracts too, right? And you can take these smart contracts, they're very close to what they want to do in terms of proscribing what you can buy and controlling what you can buy with these smart contracts. So it checks a lot of boxes for the functionality of a CBDC without it being a government function,

Starting point is 02:25:14 a public-private partnership with these stakeholders who just have to have a proof of stake and the approval of the president because congress does nothing anymore. Nothing anymore. Then finally, SOL, Solana. It was set up for speed and for scalability. It has low transaction fees. It came about just in 2020. It was heavily involved with meme coins.

Starting point is 02:25:39 And so you got, you know, these different currencies are all there for transactions. They've been involved in NFTs. They've been involved in meme coins and smart contracts and all the rest of this stuff. You start to see where this is leading. No reserve with these digital gold. Instead you're going to have digital money using private currencies as proxies. As proxies. And remember, CBDC had to be used for institutional transactions as well as for individual transactions.

Starting point is 02:26:16 And they were going to roll it out for institutional transactions first. That's where they first did it with FedNow. And then they go to Fedcoin. I think that this initial stage here is like creating their public-private partnership digital coin, kind of like a FedNow, because FedNow was about transferring money between the institutions.

Starting point is 02:26:37 It wasn't about a retail coin. I think that's where we are with this thing that's gonna happen on Friday. So Ripple had said, private sector innovation meets public vision. That's kind of their motto. Functionally, a lot of the same stuff as the CBDC, except without the central bank. It is a giant step towards CBDC without calling it that. And again, starting first with the wholesale stuff before they get to the retail stuff. So all this news triggered a lot of buying. Bitcoin went from about $85,000 to $95,000. The Cardano

Starting point is 02:27:18 stuff jumped by 72%. But again, you know, it's created a lot of extra volatility in a marketplace that was already pretty volatile. Trump is about chaos. He's about pump and dump. And look, these guys, whether you're talking about Wall Street or especially talking about these crypto things, they thrive on the volatility. That's how they make their money. They don't make any money if everything goes sideways and stays horizontal.

Starting point is 02:27:43 If it's going up and down big time, they can trigger that stuff. I think that's a big part of what Trump is doing as well. So Bitcoin has been all over the place. And my thing, when I look at it, I think that Trump is going to try to turn America into one of his failed casinos. And then just like with his other casinos, it would be the Ross Chiles who were holding the paperwork at the end of the day, like they did with Wilbur Ross. So this one guy says, I don't believe that a strategic digital asset reserve

Starting point is 02:28:17 can be established by executive order. He says, if that is correct then would Congress pass a strategic digital asset reserve anytime soon? If the answer to that is yes, which he says I think that is unlikely, at what level would Congress fund purchases of digital assets in the reserve? So first of all, I don't think the executive can do this. Secondly, it had to be done by Congress, would they? And then if they would, what amount would they actually put in it? Would it be significant or not? Well, I think the problem is that he's not really looking at the Trump effect.

Starting point is 02:28:53 The Trump effect is that Trump gets to do whatever he wants to in Congress. Mike Johnson and the rest of them are going to lay down for him. They will offer him up as a Nobel Peace Prize winner and all the rest of this. Anything he wants to do, he'll be able to do. And he doesn't have the authority under the Constitution to do terrorists, but they wiggle around and they give him the room to do that. They'll give him the room to do this as well, somehow. They don't want to be the ones to decide whether or not we're going to have a war.

Starting point is 02:29:22 They want the presidents to decide that or not we're going to have a war. They want the president's to decide that as well. So the Bitcoin returns to being under 90,000. I don't know where it is today. I keep getting these alerts on a cash app saying it jumped up by 5%. It went down by 5%. It's back up again by 5%. The market however liquidated 150 million dollars in just hours. There's massive amount of programmed trading and this is all pumping and dumping. Trump is boosting the crypto barons and his own struggling meme coin. When you look at it, Trump's meme coin is based on SOL. There's your connection, right? One of the most recently connected one. His dollar Trump coin, which had a meteoric rise after your first launch, it has collapsed in price over the last two

Starting point is 02:30:13 months again, pump and dump. And it's what he's going to do with this reserve, I think. Pumpty dumpty had a great fall. And all of Trump, kings and everything are not going to put it together again. And so this is a direct transfer of wealth from the US Treasury to David Sacks and other crypto barons said Ryan Grim. He said the railroad and the coal tycoons of the 19th century could never have dreamed of this level of heist. And that is exactly what it is. Angry Tiger says, this is just a scam, Mr. America. First auctioning off American foreign investors

Starting point is 02:30:53 will come in and buy up American assets. Well, that could be a part of it too, you know? You could say that the $5 million could be an entry level in and these people, maybe you'll have this. And it's like, I'm sorry, nobody but American citizens and permanent residents can bid on the land that we're going to sell off. Because they've telegraphed this over and over again.

Starting point is 02:31:15 Treasury Secretary Besant, you got Commerce Secretary Lutnick, you got the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. They're all talking about how we got all these massive hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of assets if we look at the value of the land that the government claims that it owns, unconstitutionally claims that it owns. And so if you're going to put all that stuff out, maybe that's the big draw for these wealthy people. Hey, you know, if you pay us the five million dollars, then you get preferred treatment on this auction

Starting point is 02:31:46 We bankrupt the country and sell it all off. Maybe that's part of it. I don't know So a lot of people are questioning this 200 million dollar Investment we did get a somebody put a 200 million dollar bet Looked like on this Bitcoin Reserve thing, which we now have an explanation for that. By the way, let me just say before we keep going here, you know, when I look at all this stuff, again, everybody make your own choices. Some people want to put a little bit of money in Bitcoin and gamble with it, but that's what it is.

Starting point is 02:32:18 It's gambling. You know, just like I look at the stock market as gambling. I certainly look at the crypto market as gambling. I certainly look at the crypto market as gambling. There's no way that you can really make a rational decision about any of these things. I've invested in the stock market before doing due diligence and said, well, you know, the looks like the internet is going to be a sure thing. And it was. I'm not even going to try to pick winners in the dot com thing. I'm going to invest in the companies that are making the tools that the Internet is going to be built out of.

Starting point is 02:32:51 You know, the people making the switchers and people, even companies like Cisco and things like that. Sound companies that are going to be making the tools that are going to be used to construct the Internet. It still went crazy. Still crashed, you know, and if everything crashes and you got it cash out at that point in time, you lose it. It still went crazy, still crashed. If everything crashes and you've got to cash out at that point in time, you lose it. It's just that simple. And so I don't like volatile stuff. I don't invest in stocks anymore. I don't want to invest in any crypto stuff. And when I look at it, it's just the gold stuff. Now Tony

Starting point is 02:33:23 will help you if you want to get involved in the crypto thing. He'll help you with setting up your own private wallet and stuff like that. And you can move back and forth. If you've got some of it in crypto, you can transfer it over to gold, for example, without a fee at Wise Wolf Gold. And he set up David Knight.Gold to take you to Wise Wolf and let him know that you came through us. So it is, again, I would strongly recommend the safe stuff to people.

Starting point is 02:33:55 Stuff that's got real value, stuff that is private, stuff that is not volatile and not transparent to Alex Karp and his cronies. That's why I like physical. I like financial transactional privacy and all the rest of this stuff. So again, David and I goal to take you to Tony Arnabin and we really do appreciate Tony's support. So a lot of people are saying, well, this is blatant corruption, but when they looked at it, they said, well, one guy said, I tracked this guy's wallet. See, that's another thing. It's trackable.

Starting point is 02:34:34 You don't even have to be Palantir to track where this stuff is going. He said, I tracked this guy's wallet, and it turns out that he got his funds from phishing. And he is also a Rubet whale. Rubet is a crypto casino, really is a crypto casino. So he's kind of a shady character. He got a lot of money doing all that kind of stuff. And they can determine all that just by looking at his public, the public ledger. It's a crypto, doesn't mean that it's encrypted.

Starting point is 02:35:01 It's very visible for everybody. It's only the stuff that is used to process the transactions. That's the only part of it that is encrypted. The rest of it is a big public ledger and people can look at this and the guy says, okay, you're saying that this is some kind of an insider trade? No, this guy is a gambler. He gambles at a crypto casino. He does phishing attacks on people and he also closed his long positions before the Trump second announcement and so he missed out on tens of millions of dollars. Turns out he's just a gambler with stolen funds, not somebody with inside information,

Starting point is 02:35:38 said a person. However, somebody who is a gambler and somebody who does have inside information is Howard Lutnick. He's the Nancy Pelosi of the Trump administration. So Howard Lutnick, a businessman who pumped $75 million into, I'm sorry, that's not him. This is another person. This is a guy, Justin Sun. S-U-N. A 34 year old Chinese crypto entrepreneur and he was in trouble with the SEC until he made a big donation to the Trump family and then that all just went away. I mean when you go back and look at it, right now the Democrats don't have the votes to impeach Trump. In two years, if they've got the votes, they're going to

Starting point is 02:36:31 have more than enough evidence to impeach him for any variety of things that are out there. Starting with this particular case, he pumped 75 million He pumped $75 million into the Trump family backed crypto token. And again, you know, SOL ran the token. So we're going to bring in SOL into our Bitcoin reserve thing. He's now, the SEC has now done a very fast 180. They were coming after him for fraud and then he invested 75 million dollars into the Trump family meme coins and other things like that and now the SEC has gone away magically. Two years ago the SEC charged Sun and his

Starting point is 02:37:18 companies with selling unregistered securities and fraudulently manipulating the prices of a digital token, Tronics." Sounds like what they all do. He has become one of the most prominent investors in the World Liberty Financial Crypto Project, which is backed by the Trump family. Son's $75 million purchase of World Liberty tokens, which he has touted in social media posts, could set the Trump family up to eventually collect tens of millions of dollars themselves, as the family is entitled to 75% of the token's revenues. Son is also an official advisor to World Liberty, which lists Trump as its quote, chief crypto advocate, unquote, and his son Baron as a quote, defy visionary,

Starting point is 02:38:10 decentralized finance. That's what they, you know, another one of their crypto thingies. Crypto offers a particularly easy way to anonymously or otherwise funnel money into assets that directly benefit the president and his family. If Biden was engaging in these shady dealings, people would rightly be throwing a fit, but not with Trump. With Trump, they just look the other way. So, by the way, this guy, this Justin Sun, do you remember somebody did a piece of artwork and I use the term with air quotes, they took

Starting point is 02:38:47 a banana and they duct taped it to a wall. Do you remember that? And some guy paid $6 million for it, actually $6.2 million for a banana that was duct taped to a wall. And then in front of the cameras in Hong Kong, he took it off the wall and ate it, just to show how wealthy he is. This is the guy that dumped 75 million dollars into the Trump family crypto scheme, and then subsequently got the SEC to drop the investigation into him that had been going on for two years.

Starting point is 02:39:30 Nothing to see here. We don't have to worry about anything that Donald Trump does. They're all in the up and up, right? Trump family has been cooking this WLF crypto scheme for a long time. Finally, it bore fruit after his election, thanks in small part to the big push from Sun. finally bore fruit after his election, thanks in small part to the big push from Sun. The way it worked, its founders would retain 70% of the project's governance tokens and would only get a big payout if the token hit a certain threshold of investment. And that's what they do with a pump and dump. They keep 70% of the threshold and it goes public and everybody wants to buy into it because it's Trump or because it's Melania's coin or whatever And so then the price jumps up after the intro

Starting point is 02:40:08 They've already got 70% of this and they can sell off this stuff and then boom it goes back to nothing nothing so maybe Trump should rename this WLF maybe he should rename it ICRIS, because maybe it flew too close to the Sun. I'd get him impeached if there's any injustice in this country. What a scam. What a corrupt organization. And we're only three weeks into it.

Starting point is 02:40:38 Just makes my head spin to think what the next several years are going to be like with all of this corruption that we've seen in just a few First few weeks. It's gonna be a real Rollercoaster ride right here at the tail end of the fourth turning a dg8 Thank you He says David XRP ripple will be the CBD C XRP ripple is the only crypto That is a business partner listed on the world economic forum. Oh, that's interesting It'll be the

Starting point is 02:41:05 choice of the globalist. Fast, cheap, and efficient. Well, you know, also Ethereum is in there, and Ethereum, they had said, would be the substrate for a lot of these CBDCs when we were looking at it and saying, you know, what are they going to do? How long would it take them to implement this stuff? And a lot of people said, oh, they could do it right away using Ethereum. So there's a number of these that they could use, but it looks like they do have an inside track. Well we're going to take a quick break folks and we will be right back. The You're listening to the David Knight Show. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Starting point is 02:42:25 Though, that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them. Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin, such as the new David Knight Show supporter Commemorative Coin. Saving these coins earns support for independent media. Featuring striking bass relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents. It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration. A way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment. It's a limited run of just 100 coins. So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone. They silence independent voices

Starting point is 02:43:06 They censor the truth, but you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance These coins saved is the David Knight show sustained Available now at the David Knight show calm You're listening to the David Night Show. That's a great job, Lister. And here it is. I got one of those right here. Thank you, Ryan, for doing that. And you can find those at TheDavidNightShow.com. Let's talk a little bit about this Epstein List thing, because I thought it was an interesting headline. What if I told you there was no Epstein List? Well, I've been telling people that. But this guy who wrote this op-ed piece actually has an authoritative position about this.

Starting point is 02:43:50 He actually knows that there is no Epstein list. Nick Bryant said, I uploaded, Nick uploaded Epstein's Black Book to the internet back in 2015. He said, and I believe that's the closest that we've come to an Epstein list because a black book contains the names of numerous perps. He said, I also uploaded passenger manifests from Epstein's various sojourns, which I believe contain the names of various perpetrators too, he said. The documentation I released in 2015 had exponentially more information in it, he says, on the particulars

Starting point is 02:44:30 of the Epstein case than the redacted drek that Bondi released last week. In the Epstein list, or the Epstein files narrative, however, he said, each acts like Epstein kept a list of his child molesting clients as if he were a travel agent at the Jeffrey Epstein travel agency. And of course, it never existed in that form. That's why we look at all this stuff, the JFK files, all the rest of the, if there was ever anything there, you would have to piece it together if all the pieces were still there. It's a jigsaw puzzle that long ago all of the jigsaw, most of the pieces were erased if they were there in the first place. And there isn't anything there that really is a smoking gun, probably. They would not have committed it into a written record. All of this stuff is a hoax.

Starting point is 02:45:22 It's a hoax. The Epstein List narrative, he says, is problematic because the idea that he just kept their names and numbers in his black book. At best, the Epstein List is wishful thinking. At worst, though, he said, it is a contrived meme. And he would know because he's been on top of this stuff from the very beginning. But just recall that it was just a couple of days ago you had people like DC Draino, one of the influencers, the people that have been set there to lead you around by the nose, to lead you on wild goose chases and to bring out red herrings like this to throw you off of the trail of

Starting point is 02:46:05 what is really happening. You know, that's the metaphor. They have the fox hunts. The people didn't like the fox hunts and wanted to stop them but didn't have the power to stop them would take a smelly fish, a red herring, and as the fox would run by, they'd run out and drag the smelly fish across the trail so that the hounds lost the scent. That's what these influencers like DC Drano are doing. He said, I've been informed that every word of the Epstein files is in this binder and will be released in full

Starting point is 02:46:35 today. We cannot control the exact time but it's happening. The Trump administration is the most transparent in our lifetime. Equal justice is being restored in America. And that's what I said when I first covered what he had to say. I said, yeah, it's so transparent you can see all the people standing behind him that have been funding him and all of this stuff. So Bondi says that she was misled on these Epstein documents. She's very concerned about this. But now she's got a truckload of this and it's, you know, any day now she's going to get all this information out there.

Starting point is 02:47:08 You know, we were talking about the crypto pump and dump stuff and the Trump family's involvement with Justin's son and the rest of this, but that's just one way that the Trumps have run scams. Take a look at Jeff Bezos who was sniffing around Mar-a-Lago for some way that he could insinuate himself into this clown show and Melania Trump is going to earn at least 28 million dollars from Amazon for a documentary deal. She will walk away with at least 28 million dollars as part of a 40 million dollar agreement with Amazon to license a documentary film about her life.

Starting point is 02:47:48 And I would just say this, your best shot at getting information about Jeffrey Epstein and what was really going on there would be if she told the truth in a biography because she was one of his prostitutes and introduced her to Donald Trump. If she was, if, if, and you know, this is a possibility. Who would have thought four years ago that Melania would have written a book bragging about her porn? At first when that was put out, the manga people were absolutely incensed. How dare you publish pictures of her previous career?

Starting point is 02:48:26 When she was Epstein's first lady and doing nude modeling and how dare you put that stuff out? And then who would have thought that a few years later she would do a biography talking about how proud she was. So maybe she'll be really proud of her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and maybe she will give you the full scoop on that. It's gonna have to be somebody like her who would talk that's gonna do it. Anyway, she is due to receive over 70% of the deals

Starting point is 02:48:54 proceeds, a 40 million dollar deal. She had been shopping sponsorship deals for this film to all the people who are showing up in Mar-a-Lago, according to the Wall Street Journal. First Lady also reportedly told blue chip CEOs who attended her husband's inauguration that they would need to pony up at least $10 million in exchange for being acknowledged at the end of the film's credits. Oh, okay. So it's kind of like the inauguration itself, you know, where where he raised records amount record amounts of money and you get your name there

Starting point is 02:49:27 And who knows maybe there'll be some goodies and a grab bag for you later in the Trump administration The the open selling of influence It's just amazing which again. I talk about this Because they're gonna be openly selling our country right out from underneath us. You just wait. You just wait. This gang of thieves that he has accumulated, some of the biggest, most successful thieves

Starting point is 02:49:53 in the history of mankind, all coalescing around the Trump administration, all sniffing around for how they can get an inside track on this stuff. According to the Wall Street Journal, the First Lady was keen on persuading Jeff Bezos of Amazon, who has historically had a difficult relationship with the President. She wanted him to buy the rights to document. This is a guy who really needs to mend his fences with my husband. I bet I can really stick him up. She did. She did. So and so now where is she going? Well now she is holding a roundtable on deep fakes and revenge porn. See? This is how they play both sides of the fence. They'll have a big festival in Mar-a-Lago one day for LGBT, and the LGBT people will be giving her awards. And then the next day, she's talking to a group of Christians at a prayer breakfast. And so she puts out her porn

Starting point is 02:51:00 book, and then she's going to hold a roundtable on deep fakes and revenge porn. I guess porn is okay as long as they pay you, right? That's the key thing that she wants to make sure is that she gets her cut. Don't do a fake. I'll give you the real stuff if you pay me enough. So again, we got Pam Bondi saying the FBI delivered now a truckload of Epstein files after she put out a hard deadline. I tell you, these people, you know, the QAnon folks and everything, they are so upset about this Epstein thing and the fact that it fell apart. You know, she'd gone on Fox News and said, oh, it's, you won't believe we're going to

Starting point is 02:51:40 release everything and it'll make you sick, as she had read it as if she had looked at the content and then when it turns out to be far less than was revealed by this guy 15 or 10 years ago in 2015 when it's far less than has already been previously revealed. She pretends she doesn't know anything about it. So, that's just one week apart. So now she's got a truckload of stuff. And she says that she finds it infuriating as well, because the MAGA people who think they're going to get to the bottom of this, the people who've been told by these MAGA influencers, these snakes like DC Drano, that, oh, this is the most transparent thing, and Trump's going to tell you all about his long-term relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now she says it's infuriating. She says all the Epstein files now are in and she's talking about what's going to go public.

Starting point is 02:52:33 She said over a 100 page document, the first phase of this, but it failed that 100 page document, failed to contain any new information. It sparked controversy online. So she goes on with Sean Hannity to smooth this stuff over because that's what Sean Hannity is there for. He was there to smooth everything over between Fox and Trump. Trump was peeved with him. By the way, it's not just the Trump administration. It's also Microsoft is still, you know, it's a couple of weeks ago.

Starting point is 02:53:03 They said, well, okay, the new administration and we are not going to be doing this news guard censorship stuff anymore. So they make these announcements and everybody's great. Look at that. Trump is so powerful. He's stopping the censorship. Of course, he's going to be censoring people who criticize the state of Israel's government. But now Microsoft is still using it.

Starting point is 02:53:24 They disavowed it a couple of weeks ago, but now they're still using it. See, they did not have some kind of a road to Damascus experience with any of this stuff. They were all just coming around Trump because they were looking for hooks into how they could make investments for these things. And in Germany, we have the Stasi snitch government. You know, the unified East and West Germany looks like they brought in the values of the Stasi, unfortunately. Report your family for thinking wrong, for wrong think, says the German government initiative. This is Germany's

Starting point is 02:54:01 interior ministry and family Affairs Ministry. Government should stay out of the family's affairs. They have launched a program they call Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking. If you have a family member who is involved in something that we label as a conspiracy thinker, then that person needs to be reported to the government. That's how creepy this stuff is. This is full-on Stasi.

Starting point is 02:54:33 German Interior Ministry that is headed by a person called Nancy Faser, known for banning media outlets, as well as the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. outlets, as well as the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, senior citizens, women and youth, everybody's covered there except men I guess, young men need not apply, have launched a project dubbed Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking. The center is there to provide advice to anyone who, quote, suspects their friends or family members have fallen victim to conspiracy theories." I won't report you, Karen, if you don't report me. How about that? Hilariously enough, they say the German word for advice

Starting point is 02:55:15 happens to be R-A-T. Rat. They're going to rat out their family members. Holistic is how she chose to describe this approach and the inclusion of the advice center and Germany's overall fight against what the authorities consider to be extremism and disinformation. This is from Reclaim the Net. Look, if you are a critical thinker, they call you a conspiracy theorist. So you better not critically think about anything the government says to you. You should just accept it on face value, just like a proof of stake cryptocurrency.

Starting point is 02:55:53 You just accept it because of who it's coming from. You just accept the science because it's coming from Fauci. And then, in case you think this is all in Germany, we've got a German tourist being held in California indefinitely. She says it's like a horror movie. A German tourist is fighting to be released from an immigration detention center after she was detained entry at the San Diego border and taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month.

Starting point is 02:56:25 A 26-year-old German tattoo artist is being indefinitely detained by Border Patrol after she tried to enter San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico with her American best friend. The two were traveling with tattoo equipment. And so because she was traveling with tattoo equipment and she was a tattoo artist, they said, you're coming here to work illegally. Have they noticed that there's some Mexicans who do that? They're not retaining them for months at a time, more than a month at a time. She had her German passport. She had confirmation of her visa waiver to enter the country. I mean far more than, you know, they talk about, wow, the traffic coming across the border has really crashed since Trump

Starting point is 02:57:13 came in. They still got over 8,000 people a day coming in. But this person is from Germany and so she's gonna get special treatment. So confirmation of her visa waiver to enter the country in a copy of her return ticket back to Berlin. She wasn't planning on staying here. Look, I've got a visa, I've got a passport, I've complied with all this. Here's my ticket to go back to Berlin. I'm not planning on staying. I just happen to have some tattoo equipment because I'm a tattoo artist. I'm not here to do any tattoos. She was still pulled aside for a secondary inspection by US Customs and Border Patrol agent. They then accused her of planning to violate the terms of her visa waiver by intending to work as a tattoo artist

Starting point is 02:57:53 during her time in LA. She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in all different rooms after nine days. She said she went so insane that she started punching the walls and she's got blood on her knuckles, said her friend. She asked the ICE agents if her German friend could be sent back to Mexico, but they responded that her lack of legal residency there would mean that she would be deported back to Germany. Well fine. She's also tried to get in touch with a German consulate in LA. So her American friend initially had no idea where she was being held or if she had already

Starting point is 02:58:26 been deported to Germany. It was only after pleading for help online and using the federal detainee locator website that she was able to track down her friend. This is like something out of Kafka. It would be 25 days before she would find and be allowed to visit her friend at the detention center where she remains to this day." So this is the insanity that we have here. By the way, see if we can pull up this Twitter thing.

Starting point is 02:58:55 This is from Jay, Jay, Jessica Hill. Jay Hill, he put up another sweatshirt we were talking about, Zelensky. He said, just for the record, when I saw that I said, I liked it, but I said that just for the record I would never sell it to this guy. That is absolutely the truth. You know, when we look at what is going on with the agreements again, it was touted that Zelensky has now humbled himself to his master Trump and he will do anything.

Starting point is 02:59:30 He's now once peace and everything. So then they put out information. Reuters had somebody tell them at the White House or whatever that there was going to be a minerals deal signed just before Trump spoke to Congress yesterday. And everybody started reporting it because it came from Reuters, right? So you can trust it because it's from Reuters. Well, it turns out it's not true. It didn't happen.

Starting point is 02:59:55 And just before we found out that it didn't happen, you had Scott Bessent say, no, it's not going to happen. He would know because he's going to be the one who's going to rape and pillage our minerals and our land and everything. So he would be right at the center of all of that. And he said, no, it's not going to happen. But Reuters reported, President Trump has told his advisors that he wants to announce the agreement and his address to Congress Tuesday evening.

Starting point is 03:00:17 So they said, well, it's going to be signed just before that. And that came out, it was a Reuters exclusive. Everybody reported it, then they walked it back and it didn't happen. But it has been reported by some other media like Joe Hoff saying he has an exclusive. Don't know if this is true either. But he says, Zelensky's big lie is exposed. Does it involve the UK? Does President Trump know?

Starting point is 03:00:41 I know there is documentation to support this because just before Trump became president back in January of the UK signed a 100 year agreement and in it, and he circled this in the article, says that it also cements the UK is a preferred partner for Ukraine's energy sector, its critical minerals strategy, and its green steel production, meaning that it's somehow energy efficient. I don't know if that's a real thing or not. And I don't know if the minerals are a real thing or not.

Starting point is 03:01:13 It's like Zelensky is going around selling the Brooklyn Bridge to multiple people. As I've talked about it before, there isn't $350 billion worth of minerals, period, in Ukraine, let alone rare earth minerals. If there was that much, they probably wouldn't be rare, right? But there isn't. It's not there. People have said there's not that much there. You can tell there's not that much.

Starting point is 03:01:35 There's a long article where somebody talked about how, well, maybe this whole idea originated with a NATO report that was a bunch of garbage. They didn't know what they were talking about. But that's the only indication that anybody has had that there might be more than just a small amount of this stuff. And then the question is, is it in the areas that Russia controls or is it in the area that Ukraine controls? Now there's another question.

Starting point is 03:01:58 Has Zelensky already done a deal with the UK? Is he going to sell this stuff a second time to Trump? These guys are such con men. They're owning each other and selling these minerals multiple times. It was on January 16th that he signed that. It was released at the time a UK-Ukraine 100 year partnership declaration. And as part of that, they said, well, Ukraine has agreed to give us the mineral rights to this. And yet now you have the Ukrainian government, Ukrainian officials say, well, we're willing to sign a minerals deal with you.

Starting point is 03:02:35 I bet they are. I bet they'll tell you anything that you want to hear to get that stuff through. So again, it didn't happen yesterday, but Zelensky is now on his hands and knees. So the Oval Office meeting was regrettable. Says he's ready to negotiate. He thanks Trump for all of this and officials in the Ukraine respond telling Der Spiegel, the German news paper there, Ukrainian officials say that Zelensky is like a child. Ukrainian leader Zelensky has the mind of a child. So does Donald Trump. We're being ruled by children. That's what this whole thing looks like. This was an anonymous person, of course,

Starting point is 03:03:20 like current and former officials, many, many many officials but all of them anonymous, told Der Spiegel that he didn't just speak like a populist, that's how he actually thought. And still today he has the worldview of a school child, a school child. Well that's it for today's show. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a good day. A penny saved is a good day. Saving these coins earns support for independent media, featuring striking bass relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents. It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration, a way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment. It's a limited run of just 100 coins. So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone. You're listening to The David Night Show.
