The Last of Us As the clock strikes 13, it is Wednesday, the 4th of June, year of our Lord 2025. And Elon Musk and Donald Trump are having a lovers quarrel over the big beautiful bill. And the drone attacks in Ukraine are a sign of things to come. Then I'm going to be talking with Tony Arderburn about what's going on with gold as the dollar continues to slide. Stay with us. The Good morning and thank you for joining us. Hope you are all enjoying the start of your day. As I said, we are going to start out by looking at the lovers quarrel between Donald Trump

and Elon Musk. Seems that Elon is not too happy with a big beautiful bill, but of course I do want to start today's show by continuing to ask for prayer for our dad. He is doing better. He is moving around a lot better than he was when he came home. He had to use a wheelchair, then a walker, but now he's able to move around with just a cane, but please keep his nerves in his tongue and his vocal cords in your prayers. That's what he is most concerned about.

That's what needs prayer the most. But we will start with, as I said, Elon Musk and Trump. Elon Musk turns on Trump, calls President's big, beautiful bill a disgusting abomination. Wow, strong words. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk criticized President Donald Trump's one big beautiful bill and declared the bill a pork-filled congressional spending bill and a disgusting abomination. Well, Elon Musk has been known to enjoy himself some government pork in the past. He gets plenty of contracts from the government.

Maybe that's what he's upset about. Maybe there's not enough cutouts for him in there. I'm sorry but I just can't stand it anymore Musk wrote in a post on X. This massive outrageous pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong. Musk added. You know it. Musk's criticisms of the bill comes as House of Representatives voted 215-214-1 in May to pass the tax and spending bill which contains numerous elements of Trump's far-reaching agenda, Breitbart News reported in May.

Yes, far-reaching indeed. See it contains such things as the AI cutout where only the federal government is allowed to make any rules about AI. Your state has no control over what the federal government is going to do with AI anymore, no matter how much they dislike it. The multi-trillion dollar tax break package contains numerous elements of Trump's far-reaching agenda and has been delivered via an all-night session. These include extending tax cuts passed in 2017, eliminating taxes on tips, and spending

more on defense and border security while making government health care programs more accountable. Of course, that's the highlights that they want you to focus on. Look, we're doing all these good things. We're doing, we're going to fix the border. It's going to be more secure. I'm going to spend more on defense. And the Republican base tends to eat that sort of thing up.

Trump has also made it made clear that he wants the bill on his desk by the 4th of July. Isn't that ironic? I'm going to sign away more of your freedoms on Independence Day, just like they love to do, describing it as a historic opportunity to turn the country around after four disastrous years under the Biden administration. Passing the one big beautiful bill is a historic opportunity to turn our country around after four disastrous years under Joe Biden, Trump wrote in a post on True Social, will take a massive step to balancing our budget by enacting

the largest mandatory spending cut ever. And of course, none of his spending cuts matter until he cuts the military industrial complex. Until he cuts the military spending, everything else is just peanuts. It's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The ship is still going down. None of this will make a difference. How disingenuous to claim that it's a spending cut when it increases spending. Sure, you can cut spending in a few areas, but if you're overall increasing spending, you aren't cutting spending. You can't cut it from one area and then add to another more than you cut and say that you've cut spending. It's quite literally rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while also increasing the speed toward the iceberg to paraphrase Massey.

Yes, I've also heard some interesting theories about the Titanic and that it was sunk deliberately, but you know that's neither here nor there. Got a good comment from iMarty. DK raise Kane. Yes, he is raising Kane right now. BK Raise Kane, yes, he is raising Kane right now. The largest spending cut ever, and Americans will get to keep more of their money with the largest tax cut ever, and no longer taxing tips over time or social security for seniors, something 80 million voters supported in November.

And of course, as we said, none of that truly matters. It is all about the military-industrial complex. That is where America spends the largest portion of its money. And that's why we are so far in debt. Now next article, exclusive Rand Paul. Democrats are adrift, but Republicans face risks if conservatives veer from principle. Well, I think Rand Paul may have veered from his principles. He is not the man his father was when it comes to holding to them. Rand Paul has been quite a disappointment at times.

And this is by Matthew Boyle. Washington Senator Rand Paul, the longtime senator and conservative grassroots leader from Kentucky, told Breitbart News exclusively that he believes the Democrats are adrift as a party without an identity right now. Well that is because They are they are the party of identity politics or at least they were That's what they were all about Remember Barack Obama was cool. That was his main selling point He was a cool guy that you wanted to vote for to be cool as well before Trump the

Republican Party at least seemed to pride themselves on not doing that but since Trump it has been all identity politics all the time But he warns Republicans could face major risks and consequences in the upcoming midterm elections if they too lose their identity Well ever since Donald Trump he has been the entire identity of the Republican Party It's whether or not you support Trump. It is whether or not Trump likes you. I Think for the moment they are adrift and can't find their focus and they're actually trying to focus on the one thing They have no chance of winning and that is the idea of whether criminals should be deported from our country. Paul told Breitbart News when asked about the state of the Democratic Party.

There's no chance of them winning that debate. They lost it in the election, but it's also one of the things that I think that people largely approve of. They see gang members being deported from the country or being captured, whereas no president was willing to do that before. So I think they're going to lose on that issue. And I think the president should emphasize not only that issue, but also the border, Paul explained.

95 to 99 percent of the traffic across the border is gone really from the sheer force of presence of Donald Trump. Now that the border has been controlled, people know not to come. You know, they're going to be deported. They see the images on TV of these gang members being captured and deported. That just is sending a chill down the spine of all the people, frankly, with ill intent, wanting to migrate up here because it looks like free pickings when you get here. I don't think there's ever been such a dramatic change as we've seen between

Biden to Trump on that. The Democrats just don't know what to do. One key moment for Democrats this year was the long filibuster by Senator Cory Booker. He set a new record for floor speech time in the chamber. While Booker did in fact beat out the late Strom Thurman's record filibuster, the fact that hardly anyone knows why he was speaking for that long on the floor a couple of months later is particularly deflating for Democrats. I can think of nothing more

torturous listening to Cory Booker. I can't imagine, imagine having to sit there and just listen to him drone on about whatever it was he was talking about. I don't remember what it was. I'm sure we covered it. But who cares? It's Cory Booker. The man has never once had an interesting thought or had anything to say worth listening to. Paul's longest filibuster on the other hand is still remembered more than a decade after his speech in 2013 opposing the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director during Barack Obama's presidency. Paul's marathon speech against Brennan kicked off a modern era of filibusters and other earnest senators have followed his lead since then. But none, perhaps, was as memorable as Paul's huge stand against Brennan.

Asked about this, Paul remembered the speech, noting that he similarly opposed James Comey's nomination to the FBI director, appointing how right he was in hindsight. Yes, Comey, of course, was just a criminal. Obviously so. But I mean, that's the type of person that always gets elected to head the FBI, isn't it? One of the things to remind people of is my filibuster in 2013 was against John Brennan, Paul told Breitbart News. I ended up being one of the few people, maybe the only one, to vote against John Brennan. I also voted against James Comey as well. So I think I was prescient in understanding how bad they were before others did. Again, it's not that they don't understand, it's that they don't care. These are the exact type of people they want in these positions. They want these ruthless, amoral scumbags

that will do exactly what they're told when it comes to oppressing the American people. That's what it's all about Really so much has come out about Comey and the recent stuff with his little seashell thing that he apparently thought was funny But a lot of other people thought was a direct call for physical harm if not assassination Yes that article I've seen it around James Comey did an AI image of seashells on the beach depicting the words 8647, I believe it is, but yes, 86 of course meaning to get rid of, so 8647, President 47, simply ridiculous, pandering to the masses that like oh we need to get rid of Donald Trump because that again is red meat to their base. I think he was and he's just like so many of these prosecutors who have abused their power he came to fame through that New York office. He came to

fame by prosecuting that dangerous criminal Martha Stewart. I would say that a lot of people look back on what he did to Martha Stewart as an abuse of power and he didn't learn any lesson from that other than it got him to the top. It got him all the way to the top of the FBI. Oh yes, it's important to keep Martha Stewart off the streets. She is flooding them with illegal baked goods. You can't be too careful with that Martha Stewart. She's a dangerous lady. Well, lamenting about that 86-47 thing, I'd never heard the term 86 being used as anything other than kill. So that to me and to most people looked like, you know,

kill 47. Apparently there's another definition for it that's less common that he was claiming related to bartending and cutting someone off but that doesn't quite fit as well as you know 86 47 it's very obvious that was a really inflammatory remark which obviously was going to get some backlash but then he pretended to be shocked by it yes how could I have known this we've got a comment here from North American House Hippo. And good morning all. I'm by my wife's bedside at a hospital in Orlando. She's recovering from her latest Trump juice surgery. Not the happiest place on earth here.

Well, be sure to keep North American House Hippo's wife in your prayers. We will be praying for her. Want to make sure that we get that out there. So please pray for her. While lamenting Comey's disastrous career, Paul points out the problems within the intelligence community are bigger than a few bad actors Yes, this is not as simple as having a few Nicolas cages scattered around So I think good riddance to Comey But we shouldn't let anyone forget how dishonest they are the 51 people who signed the letter on the hunter Biden laptop were all

prominent people in our government. They were the head of the CIA, the FBI, you name it. I am looking forward and I've gotten to know Cash Patel some looking forward to the full exposure of the operation crossfire hurricane and what went on with that. I've been convinced for a long time that our intelligence agencies requested help from foreign intelligence agencies to go after Trump because it's illegal for our CIA or FBI to go after politicians in our country. Ah yes, they would never do anything illegal. They would never do anything that they're not supposed to do. We of course know that

the CIA and the FBI routinely engage in behaviors that are supposed to be illegal on American soil, but when they can get some deniability, if they can get some deniability, they love to do that too. What they did, I think in a roundabout way is asked England and other countries to spy. So when you had those random occurrences in bars with the Australian ambassador or other people with Papadopoulos and Carter Page, that I think when there were these random occurrences where people were getting into conversation with them But it wasn't random they were organized by our people whether or not they'll actually find a paper thread

If it was at the very top and if it was Comey or Brennan or these people my guess is there may not be a paper Trail because it's essentially something you could be imprisoned for That's right. You have to be a real idiot to keep around evidence of the crimes you commit When you're able to just get rid of it and you're able to just say I think we're gonna burn these That's why I am so disinterested in many of these government files that people continually think oh, they're gonna release them If there was anything incriminating in them at any point, they would have been removed. They would have been burned They've had how many years with the JFK files? How many years with the Martin Luther King files you think they're just going to leave something in there that makes them look bad?

Of course not. Of course not. Very rarely do they go after an individual like Donald Trump But I think it's not uncommon for our people just to ask for information on Americans in general. This is the danger of some of this cooperation. They call it the five eyes between our allies. They're also, I think, looking and snooping on Americans who don't deserve it. While Democrats are adrift in his view, they are not taking steps that Republicans who faced a similar identity crisis after Obama's 2012 re-election had taken.

They are not, Paul noted, taking on intra-party debates over issues and causes. And they are not challenging their leadership. Well, I mean, you see what happens when they challenge the leadership, when they challenge Donald Trump. He gets very upset and he starts making speeches about how he's going to primary you, how he's going to get you out of office. Donald Trump is an incredibly petty, vindictive man. If you question him in the slightest, he will take it as a deathly insult and he will do

everything in his power to remove you from office. Not that he's been very successful with it, but still, most of these people are simply in government to wield power and therefore don't have any principles to stand upon. Republicans in that period of time that led up to the 2016 election did in fact have those fights like Paul's stand against Brennan. Other similar major fights and even key primaries in inter-party battles that led to the downfalls of party leaders like then-Speaker John Boehner and then-majority leader Eric Cantor. Ah man, you remember John Boehner? Good ol' John Boehner.

What a clown. So sad to see him go. I think our resurgence in that period of time was an ideological one that was long-standing but came to the surface. It was more of just a typical shift back to the other side. People had had their fill of Obama, he had promised so many different things, and by the end had simply achieved nothing when it came to hope or change. People won't admit it, but they were rather tired of him by the

end of his career. He's been gone long enough that people are starting to romanticize him again, but they were tired of him by the end. It had reached a point where you were actually able to criticize him and point out his flaws without people immediately being able to shout you down with being called a racist. I think our resurgence in that period of time was an ideological one that was long-standing but came to the surface. Paul told Breitbart News, the idea of limited government, constitutional government, balanced budgets, the Tea Party movement, it wasn't sort of like, hey guys, in the after action report, let's decide what we do to get back.

It really was a spontaneous movement. It was unhappiness in the Republican ranks with Republican leadership. It was also unhappiness with the whole system, the bailouts of the banks in 2008 and 2009, that kind of thing. Democrats and Republicans came together to do it. John McCain and others came forward and they were all for the bank bailouts and the grassroots wasn't. Ah, John McCain. All these names that are no longer around. What a despicable warmonger John McCain was. He also had a lot of resistance. The big radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, and all were part of an organizing force.

The big radio hosts Rush Limbaugh Hannity and all were part of an organizing force This thing was a movement that started with my dad and his supporters as well, but it grew into this massive movement You're right. They were heady times. We were winning all kinds of races. We won congressional seats looking back. It's disappointing to me It's great that we now have Donald Trump as president But I don't see the unifying force that were unified either in the tea Party movement of believing in balanced budgets or less spending. That's right. The only thing the Republican Party is unified around right now is Donald Trump. We love Donald Trump and we want to support everything and anything he does. No matter how ridiculous, no matter how obviously unconstitutional, we've got to support our big beautiful leader don't we folks? Randermanian's focused on the future of the movement. What will happen in the next couple months is the big beautiful bill which I support a lot of. I don't

support the additional five trillion in debt and that's going to be attached in the bill. That's a hard place for me as I support much of what's in the bill. Tax cuts, spending cuts, plus more spending cuts if we can get them. But I can't reconcile myself to adding 5 trillion in debt. Raising the debt ceiling. Really, this year the debt's going to be 2.2 trillion. Republicans have largely continued the Biden spending levels.

Well, that's because they always do. Once the spending levels go up, they never bring it back down. It's always that way. Once it reaches a new peak, they don't wanna reduce it. Once you've given them more money money once they've taken more money They're not gonna give it back They're anticipating five trillion in two years and that means next year's deficit that some people are saying is going to grow to over

Three trillion a year again It's because you have more force of character to be against spending In fact, we've limited ourselves to not really looking at the entitlement just doesn't leave that much spending we can look at My fear is that when this bill passes that the ramifications a year out, two years out will be, my goodness, what happened to DOG? What happened to the spending cuts? Why is the deficit so big still? So I am working very hard to make sure there is still at least a party. A part of the party doesn't have to be anti-Donald Trump because I'm for him in so many ways, but it also means people still have to stand up and present their own ideas of what they're for.

I'm still for Donald Trump. See the way he's worming around this because he knows if he says anything even slightly critical of Donald Trump it will cause him to rage. It will cause him to go on a Twitter tirade. He'll sit on true social and complain about Rand Paul and talk about how much he's done for Rand and how much how this is a betrayal and how well I think maybe we need to get Rand Paul out of there. And of course this goes to show that Rand Paul is not the man his father was. Ron Paul, I don't believe, would have sat there and sucked up to this clown who is destroying the country.

Be my valentine. Remember when Republicans were against Trump the first time he was president? I remember them hating him because he wasn't part of their specific club. I don't remember any sort of principled stand, but I do remember them taking umbrage at his existence. Now that he's a part of the club everything is fine. Yes now he's just one of the boys. Little Ford schoolhouse, Travis my daughter asked if you were growing a beard to look more like your dad. I do a little bit yes part of it is also laziness. I tend to shave until it becomes annoying and then let it grow out.

And then once I can no longer stand the beard, I shave it off. So it goes in cycles. But yes, this is the David Knight Show and so you deserve a bearded host, not some... ...young man. I'm not young anymore. That sounds self-serving to say. But yes, you deserve a bearded host. So, growing the beard out so you can have one. My goodness, what happened to Dove? What happened to the spending cuts? Why is the deficit so big still?

So I'm working very hard to make sure there is still at least a part of the party. And it doesn't have to be anti-Donald Trump, because I'm for him in so many ways. That's right. Rand is for Trump in so many ways. What ways are those Rand? Would you be able to explain those? Would you be able to explain what Donald Trump has done that isn't an abomination? Would you be willing to take a stand and say that the warp speed injections were a terrible abuse of power and have harmed and killed many people Rand? I don't think he would. So Paul believe that the left's incompetence and doing similar things inside

the Democratic Party means Republicans if they stay true to their principles and beliefs. What world are we living on? Republicans staying true to their principles and beliefs. They have those. They have principles and beliefs. Which Republicans? I mean, there's Thomas Massey, but that's about it, right? Is there another Republican that you can name me that actually holds true to any principle or belief other than what Raytheon pays them for? Again, he's just mealy mouthing around things. If he was truly for the people, he would be calling out his fellow people in government as nothing but corporate shills. I think the

left is adrift and it's going to be difficult for them to come back. The fight is in like 30 seats. There's only like 30 seats that are viable, battle ground seats in the House and maybe a handful in the Senate, Paul said. It's decided on those. It ends up being decided by voters that are closer to the middle, although there's a part of it that is decided by our core. Well, voters in the middle again. I have no love for centrists. Centrists are part of the problem.

Centrists always move slowly left. Or whichever power is in ascendancy. They slowly drag the Overton window one way or the other, and the centrists follow along. And as such, the centrrist have no real principles they will end up Being the people that sink the country at some point The hardcore right and they don't show up to vote that can make a difference in the battleground situation So I think we try to appease sometimes the moderate wing of our party by saying oh no, we won't cut any spending the same It frustrates

those of us who actually believe the spending should be cut and does it dampen that enthusiasm? I still think it's going to be very close. The midterms, historically, the ruling party and the president lose seats. So it'll be miraculous, I think. Trump has seemingly unending energy to campaign. And so if he's out on the road campaigning, I think that will help It's not that he has endless energy to campaign. It's just he loves the crowds. He loves hearing people chant his name He's a narcissist. He has a gigantic ego He simply wants to be out there in front of people where he can get the worship directly He wants to see the people chanting. But the districts

are going to have trouble though are the ones he didn't win or some he might have barely won but I think we have to be true to who we are. That's the best thing to win. But on that note as it stands Paul opposes the big beautiful bill that contains President Donald Trump's core agenda items at least the version that passed the House and he said he thinks the leadership needs to redraft it to significantly cut down the length of time for which it expands the debt ceiling. That's right, cut down the amount of time it expands the debt ceiling. How about you just cut out expanding the debt ceiling at all? But Paul doesn't have the guts for that kind of thing. Paul said he does in fact support big parts of the big beautiful bill but believes the inclusion of two-year debt ceiling hike

is a non-starter. I support the tax cuts I voted for them in 2017 Paul said. I support making the tax cuts permanent. I support and voted for basically allowing the tips, the no tax on tips and in fact it passed the Senate unanimously. I'm hoping they will do that in the House and take it out of the big beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent. If we do that in the house and take it out of the big beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent. If we do that, it actually makes the bill a little easier in terms of the accounting numbers. If that part is taken out, I'm for the tax cuts for making the tax cuts permanent.

I'm for as many spending cuts as we can get Republicans to vote for. But even if that's not perfect, I'd still vote for the tax cuts and the spending cuts. The thing I'm adamantly opposed to is raising the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars. And this article has quite a few pages left but we're going to move on to the next one. It's Rand Paul and Elon Musk versus Donald Trump over the big beautiful bill. Paul said he refused to support maintaining Biden's spending levels. And Musk said, the Trump back tax bill is a disgusting abomination. Oh look, are Rand Paul and Elon Musk going to become best friends? Are they going to have some camp outs, maybe roast some marshmallows together? Friendship has ended with Donald Trump.

Rand Paul is my new best friend. The intra Republican fight over the future of a major tax and borrowing bill intensified on Tuesday as President Donald Trump lashed out. Former White House favorite Elon Musk offered a sharp criticism of the proposal. The whole thing played out as today's political dramas so often do in a series of posts on social media. Trump slammed Senator Rand Paul on true social that accused the senator of having very little understanding of the so-called big beautiful bill which the house passed last week Do you think Donald Trump actually has any understanding of what's in it do you think Donald Trump has Sat there and crafted it himself

Do you think he wrote a single line of this or do you think someone else put it together? And he's just out there as the face of it? I would be shocked to learn he has read a Single part of this bill. I would be shocked to learn he contributed anything to this Which the house passed last week The bill would extend 2017 personal income tax cuts and includes a number of new tax and spending provisions Trump wrote that the bill is a big winner number of new tax and spending provisions. Trump wrote that the bill is a big winner. He may see it that way,

but every independent assessment of the package says it will add at least three trillion to the long-term deficit, potentially as much as five trillion. That means the bill is doing the opposite of what Trump vowed to do in March during his speech to Congress when he promised to balance the budget.

It's impossible to conceptualize these kinds of numbers, this kind of debt. That's how they continue to get away with it. People are fatigued. They have seen these huge numbers next to the debt for their, well, my entire life. And at this point, it just doesn't even register. What's the difference between, you know,

a hundred billion, 200 billion, a trillion, five trillion? Who cares? What does it matter? $20 trillion. It's impossible to conceptualize that kind of money. So look at 1980, only fools cannot see that the demon rats and repulsicans are a uniparty. Trump has always been a part of their club.

He was acting as a man of the people and his true allies pretended to be against him. That is also very likely true that is Donald Trump is not a man of the people the idea of him being just one of the boys is absurd He is a billionaire through and through his family has been rich for generations. He has never known a single day's hard work. He has never had to be concerned where his next meal would come from, what he would have to do to provide for his family. And he has always been willing to scumbag other people to make sure that he makes

his money. He is simply another one of these crony capitalists that have taken over our government. Remember, of course, he paid Hillary Clinton to be at his wedding. What we were saying before about 2016 was more that he was his own faction within the establishment back at that time. It was simply a different club. Slightly different club. Trump wrote that the bill is a big winner. The prospects of that increased borrowing is at the root of Paul's objections in a post on X.

Paul seemingly responded to Trump's criticism by showing that he understands exactly what BBB would do. Again, Trump does this thing where he likes to take acronyms, well, an initialism that's already been in use. Remember, we had built back better. He's like, no, no, no, this is mine now. It's gonna be big, beautiful Bill.

I wonder if that's an ego thing. It's like, is it him saying, I'm taking what's yours and making it mine, or is he simply so utterly uncreative that he just sees an acronym or initialism that's already there and decides to use it? Or maybe in the end, since they're accomplishing much of the same thing of more government, it's just, well, why change it?

We've already got an initialism we can use. The math doesn't add up. Paul wrote, I'm not supporting a bill that increases the debt by $5 trillion. I refuse to support maintaining Biden spending levels. Paul reiterated his view on the bill. He wants to extend the 2017 tax cuts, but in such a way that does not add to the deficit in his posts on Tuesday, Paul added that at least four of us in the Senate feel this way.

Forward GOP votes, votes against the bill would be enough to block its passage through the Senate. One thing you can definitely say about Biden is that he was not in control. He made it very obvious that there are people behind the scenes who run everything, that the president is simply a figurehead who does what he's told. And the fact that the same policies are being enacted under Donald Trump makes that even more obvious. Nothing has changed.

He is simply the new figurehead. There is a power behind the throne that does not move. It is the dreadful calcifying majesty of bureaucracy. The same faceless bureaucrats who ran Biden are the ones who run Trump. Musk, who officially departed from his role in the White House last week, jumped into the debate to criticize the bill. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,

Musk wrote. Shame on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong. You know it. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who shepherded the BBB through the House last week, told The Hill that Musk was terribly wrong to criticize the bill. Other conservatives suggested that Musk was motivated more by the loss of tax credits that benefit Tesla than by genuine concern about the deficit.

And while that's probably true, Musk's criticism is still valid. We again know that Musk is a crony capitalist himself. He is simply motivated by what will get him the most money and get him the most power within the government. Musk's motivations might not be pure, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. And if I'll post on X, he wrote that Congress is making America bankrupt. No lies detected there. And the BBB will make that situation worse. Musk and Paul are at least living in reality.

The White House, meanwhile, has resorted to trying to discredit the independent entities that have scored the bill on Tuesday, White House Editorial Caroline Levitt accused the Congressional Budget Office, CBO of engaging in partisan politics, by saying the BBB would add to the deficit, echoing a criticism that Johnson made last week. Timed non-tides. Musk criticizing Trump covers for Musk Trump Palantir. Fourth Amendment violation. Libertarians like Paul suck up to Musk like he's not a government-made billionaire

They suck up to Trump too because they are yes I have lost basically all respect for the majority of libertarians the party as a corporate entity is worthless I have met some libertarians who are extraordinarily extraordinarily principled like my dad and I don't think guard would accept the moniker of libertarian but he has a lot of libertarian leanings, but as a general rule most of the libertarians I met have been nothing but contrarians. They simply want a position that will annoy most people. They simply want to piss off the largest number of people and libertarian is a known enough quantity while still being a small enough fringe that people look at it and go Most libertarians in my estimation are simply contrarians that want to upset others

Musk and Paul are at least living in reality The White House meanwhile has resorted trying to discredit the independent entities just read that that's a rather absurd allegation considering the current director of the CBO Is Philip Swagel, a Republican who previously worked in the Bush administration at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Math is not a conspiracy against Trump. Well, he might be dumb enough that math just might seem like a conspiracy. All of us getting together and carrying the two makes him very, very nervous.

The president and his supporters are free to disagree with the likes of Musk and Paul They should stop lying about the budgetary impact of the BBB and should admit that they Support higher levels of borrowing then we could have an intellectually serious debate over the bill instead of whatever. This is ah, yes America known for its intellectually serious debates Even before Donald Trump the debates that were had were completely and utterly worthless. It was simply two idiots, two clowns, two stooges up on stage yelling at each other.

They were never of any real substance. We have not had any real debates in my lifetime, as far as I can tell. Blatantly wrong, Trump set sights on two GOP senators who have openly criticized his bill. This is by Elia Zera on Alternet.org. Nibiru 2029, Trump's family fortune was made from prostitution, gambling, and alcohol. Like the Kennedy Clans, it was built off bootleg liquor during Prohibition. I didn't know that. I will have to look into that.

That does sound like what they would do. White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt said Tuesday, Republican senators, Ron Johnson and Rand Paul are blatantly wrong in their criticism of president Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill during the White House press briefing Tuesday's Tuesday afternoon. CNN's Caitlin Collins asked Levitt on the big, beautiful bill. You said recently it's blatantly wrong to say that it adds to the deficit, but Republicans like Ron Johnson and Rand Paul disagree. They're saying it will add to the deficit. That is their concern. Is the White House position that those two?

Republican senators are, quote, blatantly wrong. Lev responded, it is. Those senators, it's not news that they disagree with this. With that, this president on policy and the president has vocally called them out for it. For them not having their facts together." She continued, The Congressional Budget Office has been historically wrong. In fact, they predicted the Trump tax cuts from the president's first term in 2017. Prediction was wrong by half a trillion dollars. But it went on to say that the institution has become partisan and political. I despise these people with these euphemisms and, Oh, we used to be a real country where people like John McCain and Barack Obama could have serious debates where George W.

Bush and Al Gore ran for president. It had, it had dignity grow up. It was never dignified. These people have all been horrific monsters and clowns. It has become partisan and political. Of course it's partisan and political. It's politics. That's what politics is. Earlier Tuesday Trump sharply criticized Paul for declining to support a bill central to his domestic agenda. This was sort of a growing effort by Trump to pressure fellow Republican senators to swiftly back and pass the legislation and To post on a social platform true social Trump asserted that Paul

Lacked a clear grasp of the bill and stated his ideas are actually crazy losers the people of Kentucky can't stand him and losers, the people of Kentucky can't stand him. And here we see the classic Trump tactic. He attacks them personally and implies that the people who vote him into office are actually sick and tired of them and should get rid of him. The real octo-spook makes Elon's cuts appear as a drop in the bucket pulls the covers on Trump for sure. Yep, Elon's cuts were and still are a drop in the bucket pulls the covers on Trump for sure. Yep, Elon's cuts were and still are a

drop in the bucket. It will change nothing of any substance. Trump also said that Paul habitually votes against legislation believing it benefits him politically. Well, it probably does because his base doesn't want this legislation passed. So in that sense, yes, I agree. He does vote against it. He consistently votes against bigger government because his supporters seem to want that it's insane. I never see this in politics Yes, Rand Paul still does have some principles or maybe perhaps it's just a Machiavellian Calculation that his base wants him to vote against these things so he'll do it but either way Angry Tigers den this bills a win for the Federal Reserve allows them to pull more money from the future into the now further devaluing the dollar if we stop it from printing one dollar this whole scheme falls apart that's right until

someone does something about the federal reserve none of this really matters the federal reserve is of course the root of all our monetary problems paul had called Trump's bill the largest increase in America's debt ceiling in history. I think it's a mistake because once conservative Republicans vote for this, they will own it. The debt will be owned by the Republicans. There's no more pointing fingers to the Democrats and saying they're the big spenders. I'm not going to be one of the Republicans

who's going to be responsible for this debt, the Kentucky senator said. That's right, they are both in it together, both parties. They want your money. They want more and more of it all the time. Speaker Mike Johnson. Musk is terribly wrong about Trump's big, beautiful bill. Good old Mike Johnson. This is by Elizabeth Weibel, house speaker. Mike Johnson responded to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk criticism, declaring President Donald Trump's one big beautiful bill as a disgusting

Abomination the multi-trillion dollar tax break package contains numerous elements of Trump's far-reaching agenda has been delivered via an all-night session He's included. He's include spending tax cuts passed in 2017 limiting taxes on tips and so forth Well, yes, Mike Johnson is mad at Rand Paul. He can't stand him. He doesn't deserve any more coverage. He is doing exactly what you would expect Mike Johnson to do. He is not worth the time or effort. Trump cuts funds from wasteful projects to spend on wasteful statue garden. Joe Lancaster.

Even when the administration has cut from seemingly obvious sources, Trump has redirected federal spending toward sources closer to his heart. President Donald Trump has pledged to cut government waste but hasn't delivered much on that front so far. Even when his administration has cut from seemingly obvious sources, for example, federal funding for arts and humanities, Trump has simply redirected federal funding towards sources closer to his heart. During its first term, Trump signed executive orders calling for the creation

of the National Garden of American Heroes, which was to contain 250 statues of historically significant Americans who have contributed positively to America throughout our history. In April, the National Endowment for the Humanities, NEH began taking applications from sculptors. The plan is for the garden to open on July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of American

independence. That's a rather ambitious turnaround time. America doesn't have enough quality sculptors and museum caliber foundries to make this happen on Trump's speedy timeline. Politico Michael Schaeffer wrote this week, many U.S. fine art foundries are booked anywhere from six to 18 months in advance. There also aren't many of them. As a result, faster production often involves partnering with Chinese or other foreign facilities. That's right, on

the statues of American heroes you'll see a tiny little embossment that says made in China. There's also as yet no site chosen for the garden though South Dakota Republican Governor Larry Rode recommended a plot of land near Mount Rushmore, which its owner offered to donate. I will say we went to see Mount Rushmore once as a family trip. We were driving across the country and we were close enough that it was worth it to go through and see it. I was thoroughly unimpressed. They make it look and of course the heads are large but from the viewing area They look quite small. It is a rather unimpressive national monument I would not go back to mount rushmore. I have no interest in seeing it again

in fact, there's a Place in virginia where they have some large heads of presidents. I forget what they're going to be used for, but it's kind of this old decrepit area where they're just laying there or standing there kind of moldering. And that is a much more interesting experience seeing all these presidents. One of the funniest things over there is JFK and LBJ are right next to each other, but JFK has turned slightly so he's not looking at LBJ. And she's like, yes, I wouldn't look at that man either. The biggest collection of artisans and fabricators working in Trump's preferred old school realist

style turns out to be in China, not the US, Schaeffer wrote. The list of figures to be honored ranges from historical heroes to entertainers and seemingly everyone in between. More to the point, the Garden would involve a large expenditure of taxpayer funds. National Endowment for the Humanities has canceled most of its giant programs and started putting off putting staff on administrative leave, Jennifer Schussler of the New York Times reported in April. Acting NEH Chairman Michael McDonald told senior leadership that upward of 85% of the agency's hundreds of current grants

were to be canceled. Last year the U.S. Capitol added a seven foot bronze statue of the evangelist Billy Graham to its halls. North Carolina state government commissioned the figure in 2020 and it took four years to complete at a cost of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Trump's order is now calling for hundreds of artists to design, sculpt, and smelt hundreds of similar sculptures at one-third the cost and on a much shorter timeline. The Statue of Graham, who is listed for inclusion in Trump's garden, is also instructive. There is already a place within the U.S. Capitol for displaying statues of

honored Americans, as each state submits two statues for display in the National Statuary Hall. And the Statue of Graham Graham cost taxpayers nothing as the construction was funded entirely by donations to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. No direct state funding whatsoever. I will say that I would be rather upset if I were to donate to an evangelistic organization and found out that my money was going to create a statue of Somebody I would think that these people would want to actually put that money towards spreading the gospel Instead of creating a large bronze Billy Graham To be fair, I don't know that much about Billy Graham. So maybe that was the type of person he was who would have wanted his

likeness put up for all to see Well, we're gonna take a quick break and when I come back We're gonna talk about Jack Jewett and his midnight ride doesn't get the publicity That some others might But he saved Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry from capture by the British. So perhaps he's even more important than Paul Revere, though we don't know him. We'll be right back. The I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

They're all collaborators who pretend to disagree That's right. Many people have made the analogy that it's like professional wrestling says no one in Congress uses their filibuster powers anymore. They're all collaborators who pretend to disagree.

That's right. Many people have made the analogy that it's like professional wrestling. They just go out there and they pretend to have some kind of disagreement. They pretend to argue and fight over it. But when the show is over, they go into the back room and they slap each other on the back and say, good job, buddy. Good job. That's what I was trying to say with the thing we were talking about, Trump being something of an outsider in 2016. It was within the establishment there are the different factions that want to make themselves more powerful while still pushing us all toward tyranny. Yes. Got a good comment from Angry Tigers Den. Billy Graham was nothing but a grifter using the name of our Lord to make money There are many such cases. We see them all over the place People like Joel Osteen and what is it a TD Jakes? Yes

And I can't remember the guy's name who has his own private jet, but that demonic looking fellow Can never remember his name and I'm sure many people won't. June 3rd 1781 the midnight ride of Jack Jewett that saved Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. You can see a little outline of Jewett there. This image is the only known portrait from life of Jack Jewett drawn in silhouette by his son. Wow, more artistically capable than I am, that's for sure. Listen, my children, you shall hear of the midnight ride of Jack Juett. Juett's mission, like that of his more famous fellow horsemen, was to warn

American patriots of the approaching attack by British regulars. While most people have heard of Paul Revere and his ride forever memorialized by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, there are few who know anything of Jouette. Even though his ride has been described as having had a greater impact on the outcome of the American Revolution than did Paul Revere's ride. Jean Jacques Jouette Jr. was a man who looked the part of a hero. He stood six feet, four inches tall and was described by his contemporaries as muscular and handsome. He descended from a Norman Huguenot family, accustomed to fighting against the oppression of tyrants. Even though we didn't have the good fortune of having a long fellow to immortalize his name and his exploits, Juwet's story and service to the cause of liberty are every bit as exciting

as those of the Massachusetts silversmith. Juwet was a captain in the Virginia militia and was deployed outside of Charlottesville. Charlottesville has been a place of interest for many years. Late in the night on June 3rd 1781, Jouet was sleeping in front of a famous watering hole, the Cuckoo Tavern. He and his unit were bivouacked on the lawn of the building when they were awakened by sound of several horses approaching the location quickly. As Jouet roused himself, he saw a large number of whitecoats, the name given by locals to the British dragoons under the command of a Lieutenant Colonel Bannister the Butcher Tarleton, a notoriously brutal man sent by Lord Cornwallis to retake Virginia

as part of the wider British Southern strategy to isolate the South from the rest of America when the war piece by piece. Of course, Tarleton is famously the villain in The Patriot. I'm assuming that he is somewhat romanticized, and they probably took liberties with the truth of the matter, but he was shown to be exceedingly brutal and wicked in that film. They changed his name slightly, but it was obviously Tarleton because in the movie, I believe, he does some war crimes, which the actual Tarleton because in the movie I believe he does some war crimes which the actual Tarleton did do. Remember folks, war crimes are only crimes if you lose. To Jewett's surprise and shock, the butcher himself rode at the front of the White

Coat Force composed of 180 dragoons and 70 mounted infantry, ready to carry out their commander's orders with precision and ferocity. Jewett instantly understood the reason for the British presence at the Cuckoo Tavern. To capture, Governor Thomas Jefferson likely hang him for treason for having written the Declaration of Independence and to disrupt the deliberations of the Virginia legislature. Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and other rebels in the Virginia General Assembly were meeting in Charlottesville, just 40 miles from where the British cavalry stood surrounding Jewett in a small detachment of the Virginia militia. Most of the force was deployed up north fighting with George Washington, leaving the lawmakers of the old dominion, including Jefferson and Henry, practically undefended and helpless

in the face of Tarleton's mounted force of British regulars. Jewett realized what he had to do. He had to find a way to evade Tarleton and the scouts he undoubtedly deployed along the road to Charlottesville and warned Jefferson and the others to flee from what would be a sure slaughter and likely the hangman's noose. Just before midnight on June 3rd, 1781, Jack Juette sat on his horse described as the best bred and the fleetest of foot of any nag in seven counties to cover the more than 40 miles between the Coo Coo Tavern and Charlottesville.

Jewett rode through the middle of the night and through the thick and tangled backwoods of Virginia, the trail was rough and the mission was critical. Jewett and every other patriot understood that the capture of Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry would be not only devastating for the American morale, but also a powerful public relations coup for Cornwallis and the crown that he served, narrowly escaping capture on several occasions. Jouette rode with urgency through the nearly impassable byroads and Indian trails

he was forced to travel. Ron Helton I Jefferson was so broke after being the president that he had to sell his personal library to pay his bills, let that sink in. Now these government parasites leave as millionaires in this mess, yes, that's right. All these people come into government and leave massively wealthy and makes you wonder how did that happen? How could this have happened? Your salary doesn't equal out to this. I wonder

how you're making this money. It's because they're selling us all out. That's what they're selling. They're selling us. As one writer related in a Scribner's article published in June 1928, the unfrequented pathway over which this horseman set out on his all-night journey can only be imagined. His progress was greatly impeded by matted undergrowth, tangled bush overhanging vines and gullies. His face was cruelly lashed by tree limbs as he rode forward and scars said to have remained the rest of his life were the result of lacerations sustained from these low-hanging branches. The next scene in the story was retold in an article published in 1934 by the Richmond Times

Dispatch. By breakfast time Tarleton had reached Dr. Walker's in Albemarle County. Here he decided to take breakfast. It is thought that Mrs. Walker had been informed by Jack Jewett Jr. that he was on his way to warn Governor Jefferson and the legislature for the British general had to wait some time for his breakfast. His troops were given the first and second breakfast prepared. Did he have a contingent of hobbits with him? Second breakfast is, of course, important to keep your strength up when you're about to commit some war crimes.

You can't commit war crimes on an empty stomach. General Tarleton became impatient and made an investigation. He was told he would have to place the kitchen under guard if he wanted breakfast, which he did, but he had been delayed for some time, time enough for Governor Jessiferson and the legislature to be warned. On Jack Jouette Jr.'s way to Monticello, he passed through the village of Milton at dawn and shouted, the British are coming! Some thought he was joking, as he was known to be a great joker. A few minutes later, the writer arrived at Monticello and warned the governor of Virginia, who quickly gave the writer a glass of Madeira to brace him up for his trip to warn the legislature.

He's an interesting character, known to be a great joker, standing 6'4", incredibly strong. Where are these types of men today? Having been warned by Jewette, Governor Jefferson sent his family away to Blenheim, the home of Colonel Edward Carter. He stayed back, going through Monticello, collecting critical documents before following his family in haste. Having realized that he had dropped his walking sword during his flight, Jefferson headed back to Monticello

to retrieve it. That's right, folks, remember, never leave home without your walking sword. You don't know what kind of rapscallion you may encounter on the road. You'll want your walking sword if you encounter rapscallions. While riding away, sword in hand,

Jefferson saw British dragoons heading toward his home. That was how close Thomas Jefferson came to being captured and executed by the British And who knows what would have happened if Jefferson had been captured and killed he was indispensable So narrow was the escape in fact one by after one biographer of Thomas Jefferson claimed that while Jefferson was on the lawn of Monticello Captain of the captain of DragoonsLawn, was actually in the house. After Juwet arrived in Charlottesville and warned the legislators, seven of that number delayed their departure and were captured by Tarleton's troops. In honor of his heroism,

the Virginia Assembly awarded Captain Juwet a brace of silver-mounted pistols and a jeweled sword. Now that's the kind of reward that signifies appreciation. I'm sure that the medals the military gives out are nice and all, but imagine if anytime you did something worthy of being recognized, they gave you silver pistols and a jeweled sword. Despite being all but ignored by history book, Jack Jewett's 40-mile ride through the unforgiving forest in the darkest hours of the night of June 3rd, 1781, has, as the Times-Dispatch claimed, never been equaled in history. For comparison, consider the fact that Paul Revere's renowned ride covered fewer than 20 miles more over the Bostonian road on a well-traveled public road on a night blessed with a bright moon to guide his mount. That's right, this is the type of man that was around during the Revolutionary War.

Now we have people in government that won't even use the filibuster power to stop this big beautiful bill. Whereas he rode through the night 40 miles through treacherous terrain, bore the scars of it for the rest of his life. And now people won't even talk, won't even talk to stop this kind of thing. We have we are ruled by the lowest class of individual. Nibiru 2029. Jouette wasn't a risk rat like Paul Revere, hence the silence. That's right. Once you've got money, you get in for free.

Once you're a known quantity, all all's you know, they'll praise you Legal docket knocking down the wrong door. This is on world This is about no knock raids and how dangerous they are the police are coming. The police are coming That is a That's what my dad said about this and they're bringing a no knock raid with them Mary Reichardt host That's what my dad said about this and they're bringing a no-knock raid with them mary ryckard host This is a Following text is a transcript of a podcast story to listen to the story click on the arrow beneath the headline above

That's right. If you want to listen to the actual podcast it is available in the article Nick Mary rychard host. It's the world and everything in it for this second day of June 2025. We're so glad you joined us today. Good morning. I'm Mary Richard Nick Eichers also host and I'm Nick Eicher. It's time for legal docket. First a little primer on the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution Does the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses and papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized. That's right, you had to be very, very specific. You had to not just say, oh yeah, he's got something. You had to say where it was. Riker, to be secure in your house, safe in your home, that's the relevant part of the

Fourth Amendment we'll be talking about today. Specifically, what happens when government agents disrupt that security. This is now the woman who had the no-knock raid. Havender Katrina Martin. I was asleep. October 17th, 2017. About 4.30 in the morning, the audio is from the Institute for Justice, which you can hear again in the article. Martin, all of a sudden. I hear a lot of banging

bang bang bang Martin and her boyfriend toy chiat Cleat were sleeping when a SWAT team showed up to raid the house six FBI agents and tactical gear Guns drawn shouting commands a flashbang grenade exploded in the dark. Martin's son, Gabe, was just seven back then. Gabe, it was like two guns put in my face at like one time. I was just really nervous. That was my main focus. Like I didn't want to get killed. And that is the seven-year-old. Or he was seven at the time. This was back in 2017.

So it'd be about 14 now. Cleat remembers trying to make sense of what was happening. Cleat, the bang was so loud and so abrupt. I just remember landing on my feet out of the bed. It startled me. So immediately that's what came to my brain. Someone had broken into the house and I needed to protect everyone. Richard, problem was the agents had raided the wrong house. They entered the correct address into the GPS but the system led them astray by about 400 feet to a house that looked similar. Corner lot, big tree out front. Martin, the one and most important thing that sticks out to me is my child being alone, by himself in a room, underneath the carpet shaking, shivering from

fear because someone was standing over him with a gun. Only after agents noticed a piece of mail with a different address and people who didn't match the suspect's photo did they realize the mistake. They apologized, left, and told Martin she could call for compensation. She did that but the compensation didn't come. Martin lost wages. Her son was traumatized. The therapist needed to be paid. Martin at the time I was a track coach and I had to give that up because the trauma from the grenade. The starting line when they shot the gun off for the runners to start it would send me through a frenzy. Eicher. So Martin and Cliat under the Georgia law making claims like negligence and false

arrest, she also sued under a federal law. Federal Tort Claims Act. Congress passed the FDCA back in 1946. The point of it was to allow citizens to sue the federal government when it does them harm. Well, they're all doing us a lot of harm, aren't they? Let's take a moment to understand some background law. Normally you can't sue federal agents, but before 1946, the only way was to ask Congress to pass a private bill just for your case. You can imagine this is time consuming and expensive. That's why the Congress approved FTCA.

Reichard, then about 30 years later, Congress amended FTCA after a string of drug raids at the wrong houses in Illinois that 1974 amendment was called the law enforcement proviso it lets victims sue for certain intentional acts by federal officers things like assault battery wrongful arrest and false imprisonment But over the years courts carved out a big exception Government would not be held liable if the officer's conduct was discretionary, meaning the officer's used his own judgment.

And that judgment, that use of discretion, is grounded in considerations of public policy. So if a court finds those two things, that's when sovereign immunity kicks back in. Then you can't sue. Eicher, at the Supreme Court, Patrick Giacomo of Institute for Justice represented Martin. Giacomo, there's no such thing as a discretionary intentional tort.

Even Proviso claims Congress amended the statute to affirmatively guarantee, or barred by sovereign immunity, what is left of the Federal Tort Claims Act. In other words, what happened to Martin is what the 1974 amendment was created to fix. The government's lawyer, Frederick Lew, didn't deny a mistake, but argued it just doesn't rise to a constitutional or legal violation. Sorry, we flash banged you and pointed guns at your son, but we did it on accident so there's nothing you can do. We just made an oopsie. The flash bangs and breaking into your home, that's all constitutional and legal according to this guy.

Whoopsie daisy, sorry. It was a constitutionally correct flashbang. You, the government has the right to flashbang you and your child under the Constitution. I think I remember that. The officers here were weighing public safety considerations, and this is the lawyer for the government, Lou. The officers were weighing public safety considerations, this is the lawyer for the government, Lou. The officers were weighing public safety considerations, efficiency considerations, and operational security. The idea

that they didn't want to delay the start of the execution of warrants because they wanted to execute all of the warrants simultaneously. Those are precisely the sorts of policy trade-offs that an officer makes in determining, well, should I take one more extra precaution to make sure I'm at the right house? Riker, Justice Neil Gorsuch cut to the absurdity of letting government agents violate rights under the guise of discretion. Listen to this exchange with Lew for the government. Gorsuch, no policy says don't break down the wrong house, the door of a house? Lew, no, I, I, excuse me, of course. Gorsuch, and don't traumatize its occupants? Really? Lew, of course. It's the U.S. policy to execute warrants at the right house, but state, Gorsuch. And don't traumatize its occupants, really? Lou, of course, it's the U.S. policy to execute warrants at the right house, but,

state, Gorsuch, I should hope so. Lou reiterated those policy considerations of the officer's public safety, efficiency, and operational security. The exchange with Gorsuch got more prickly. Lou, those are precisely the sort of policy trade-offs an officer makes in determining, well, should I take one more extra precaution to make sure I'm at the right house? Here, petitioners suggest, for example, that the officers trade-offs an officer makes in determining, well, should I take one more extra precaution to make sure I'm at the right house? Here petitioners suggest, for example, that the officers should have checked the house number. Gorsuch, yeah, you might look at the address of the house before you knock down the door.

And it continued on like that. That's right. Why would you want to check the house number? Why would you care? What's the worst that could happen? Lou, that sort of decision is filled with policy trade-offs. Gorsuch, really? Lou, because checking the house number at the end of the driveway means exposing the

agents to potential lines of fire. Well, I hate to break it to the officers, but when you sign up for this job, that's the risk incumbent. That's the risk that comes with the territory. If you're not willing to expose yourself to some level of risk, then you do not deserve to hold this job That's how it is. You are putting your safety second to the people's That is the type of person that should be in this job and if you are not capable of doing that you don't deserve to have it. This is reminiscent of the Shooting and I believe it was Butler Texas no that it was a you know the mass shooting where they had you know all the police creating a perimeter but they

didn't want to go in to stop the shooter and protect the children because that would expose risk to the officers yes that is your job yes Gorsuch how about making sure you're on the right street is that is that laughs just the right street Lou Stamber's Gorsuch checking the about making sure you're on the right street? Is that is that laughs? Just the right street? Lou Stambers. Gorsuch, checking the street sign. Is that asking too much? Iker, lawyer Giacomo for the family had the last word during rebuttal. Giacomo, there's no question that there was no policy here. If you really meant to drop the pizza off at the right address, it doesn't matter. You still need to give a refund if you drop it off at the wrong address. And of course, this ends on a very funny note to me

The lawyer's name is Giacomo, which is Italian and he uses a pizza analogy So I wonder if that's just in his DNA it might say it's baked in of course very serious matters, but That amused me to no end now a bit of a interesting story more of a funny story from the very serious nature of no-knock raids. No-knock raids are incredibly dangerous before I move on. Those are where people really end up getting hurt

or killed because these people have been told that there are dangerous criminals in there. So dangerous that you can't even knock on the door to let them know you're coming. So they come in heavy metal rock and roll ready to go and Anything you do that they don't like they are fully keyed up they are ready to pull the trigger and that's how so many people end up being harmed or killed because Again, it's no knock. They bust your door down You think you're being robbed or you think someone has broken in to kill you. And if you have a gun, you grab it

and they see you with it and they just shoot you dead. But this is more of a funny little story. Pet Zebra escapes and brings Tennessee interstate to a standstill. And as my dad said, everyone must stop at a zebra crossing that's right a pet zebra has escaped in Tennessee stunning drivers as it repeatedly raised down residential streets even bringing a busy interstate

to a standstill the still at large animal was spotted several times across Rutherford County southeast of Nashville on Saturday and the sheriff say the animal remains at large unless its owner has found it and not reported it. That's right, they need to incarcerate that zebra immediately. It's even still wearing the stripes of its prison uniform. Dodging vehicles and narrowly avoiding getting hit, the pet caused havoc when it ran along greater Nashville interstate this weekend. The zebra broke loose on Saturday just a day after its owner purchased it This is reminding me of that Seinfeld bit, you know, anyone can purchase a zebra. It's keeping the zebra. That's the real trick Sheriff's deputies had to close the interstate because the zebra was running through traffic on both sides of the highway

Wonder if it was terrified or having a great time officers later reported the highway highway. I wonder if it was terrified or having a great time. Officers later reported the highway reopened the highway after the zebra escaped into the woods. That's right there is a new cryptid out there in Tennessee. It is a zebra just having a grand old time. Zebras are categorized as class 3 animals in Tennessee. This means that along with llamas, camels, and giraffes they do not require special permits or paperwork to be kept as pets. You hear that? We could get a zebra That would be fun. We could have our own zebra here the David Knight show zebra

No deductions and we're moving on from that that was just a funny little interest story. This is on zero hedge no deductions We could use it as the mascot just to put stripes on all our logos exactly put stripes on all our logos. Exactly. No, we promise we won't be using the money you send us to buy a zebra. As fun as it would be, we use it for serious things.

No deductions to Social Security to offset defaulted student loans, says the Education Department. The Department of Education announced a policy change on June 2nd, saying it will not garner Social Security payments to collect unpaid federal student loans. Education Department spokeswoman Ellen Kiest told the Epoch Times that the department has put a pause on any future Social Security offsets.

In April, the Trump administration announced it would be resuming collection of loan repayments on May 5th with other actions to help Barwish get back into repayment. Again, the dismissal of student loans is something that is... you cannot take out a loan and not repay it. You cannot have the government pay it back for you because that is not your money. That is taxpayer money. That is everyone else's money. You are forcing to be used for it I feel bad for people a lot of problems with college people who have college degrees Make on average more than the average person that doesn't have a college degree

This is asking everyone the people that don't have college degrees to pay for this person's decision and investment college degrees to pay for this person's decision and investment for them. Yes. You're asking for the public to subsidize your choice. If only there were a group of people that were only the ones that got the college degrees that could be forced to pay for it. And better yet, if they got a large amount, they should pay back a large amount, and if they got a small amount, they should pay back a small amount. Oh wait, that's just the normal system. They want people who have not gone to college, everyone to pay for their debt.

Yes. It is theft to force someone else to pay your debt and that is the... that is what socialism is. It is theft at its heart. You are taking money from someone else to pay for things. I also find it interesting that all these college debt forgiveness debates are all, so we should have the taxpayers pay these Marxist institutions. It's not forgiveness for debts to the Marxist institutions, which are doing just fine. They don't really need these kinds of tuitions, but yet they still have to be paid. It's the taxpayers that get stuck with the short end of the stick. Well, of course, Harvard is going to continue to get its millions of dollars. Since March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the

federal government has paused all repayments for those in default on their loans. The Biden administration then extended Congress's October 2023 deadline for ending the pandemic relief measure, which President Donald Trump's Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said needed to be addressed as the executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear. No, you don't understand. It's for the pandemic, the pandemic that we're currently suffering under. That's why we've got to socialize these debts of private people. Exactly. Well, we're going to move on from that article. That was a brief one just to cover that.

And this is on CNN Business. Citigroup reverses firearms policy after pressure from Trump administration on big banks a month after the 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Citigroup enacted restrictions for its clients that sold firearms remember that was operation choke point and The Banks were more than happy to Stomp down on people that were selling guns and of course during his 10 years president Trump did nothing about it Big banks have recently caught the eye of the president as well as the crypto industry in January at the annual World Economic Forum

President Donald Trump scolded Brian Moynihan the CEO of Bank of America You've done a fantastic job But I hope you start opening your banks to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business Within the bank Trump said you and Jamie and everybody what you're doing is wrong. According to JP Morgan Chase head, Jamie Daemon. Or Diamond, however you're feeling. Citigroup also announced on Tuesday that it will update its employee code of conduct and its external global financial access policy

to clearly state that we do not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation in the same way we are clear that we do not discriminate on the basis of other factors. About no-knock raids. Don't frag me bro. Drug war is a war on We the People and we are the drug. It is the destruction of the due process and presumption of innocence. Yes, we are the people under the boot. That was the MacGuffin that they used to implement a lot of these draconian tactics of the police,

the authoritarian tactics, all for the sake of protecting the people, of course, from drugs. Yes. Those scary, scary drugs that you can just say no to. They will instead kick down your door with a SWAT team. Did the feds label you a COVID vile violent extremist? Of course, this is projection on the part of the federal government because they are the ones who are violent and extreme. And of course, as Barry Goldwater said, extremism and defense of liberty is no vice, moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue. From the start of the COVID pandemic,

I warned that the feds were vilifying anyone who failed to kowtow to the latest commands in October 2023. I wrote federal bureaucrats heave together a bunch of letters to contrive an ominous new acronym for the latest peril to domestic tranquility. The result, agave. And this is by James Bovard. James Bovard does a lot of great work. You've had him on the show a couple of times. He's a very, very good writer and a very interesting fellow Agave anti-government anti-authority violent extremism, which looks like a typo for a sugar substitute The fbi vastly expanded the supposed agave peril by broadening suspicion from furtherance of ideological agendas to furtherance of political and or social agendas Anyone who has an agenda different from team biden's could be agave for his own good. And of course the Biden agenda is extraordinarily extreme.

Extraordinarily that is. So basically the entire country barring a few highly left leaning enclaves. Audi MRR, thank you so much. That is incredibly generous. We really do appreciate it. Operation Warp Seed and Palantir being paid 14 billion in tax dollars to undermine our privacy are two examples of Trump's worst fascist acts.

Yes, they are being paid handsomely to destroy the constitution and trample on our rights. Of course, that is by Audi of modernretroradio.com. Why did it take, what did it take for Biden's brain trust to covertly condemn people? Simply warning that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children. Part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods are designed to start a new social political order. Yes.

That was all it took. The FDA knew that COVID vaccines sharply increased the risk of myocarditis and inflamed heart in young males, but the Biden White House browbeat the agency into fully approving the COVID vaccine. Remember, they were pushing it in schools. They were doing everything they could to get kids to take it. They had lotteries and you would get free Krispy Kreme donuts if you got the shot. They were doing everything they could to incentivize anyone of any age to get the shot. Of course the writer blames Biden, but let's not forget that all started under Trump. That report is also a reminder that extremism has always been a flag of political convenience

in Washington. Anyone who doesn't worship the government is considered an extremist. How far did officialdom go in smearing the American people? I'm briefly skimming through this article. It's a long one and it's highly detailed and it's worth going to read for yourself. Actually, the feds use definitions of extremism that extended far beyond COVID controversies and undermined the first amendment. Biden's FBI targeted conservative Catholics who preferred to hear the Latin language versions of the mass, claiming they were potentially violent extremists. An FBI analysis portrayed rosaries as extremist symbols. Remember in

American Carol where the nun blows up by pulling the ripcord on a rosary. It's becoming reality to the FBI. Biden-era crackdowns and the newly declassified report should spur Americans to ask, what if the government is the most dangerous extremist of them all? Because of course, once again, it is projection on their part. They are the extremists. They are the ones that are trying to undermine the Constitution and undermine the rule of law. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll probably cover how Steve Bannon is back on Spotify, but not us, not us here at the David Knight Show. Stay with us. The The The Liberty, it David Knight Show. go. you Oh You're listening to the David Knight Show. The The End The Making sense, common again! You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Welcome back folks. Thank you for still being here with us on this lovely Wednesday morning. We've got some comments here. It's about no knock raids and Max Trump removed the police abuse tracker in time for his AI tracking. Raids and Max Trump removed the police abuse tracker in time for his AI tracking Well, I guess we finally found one form of intelligence Trump doesn't want in the Palantir super database That's right. No tracking of police Will to box officers discretion equals you have no rights That's right. The officer is free to do most anything at his own discretion.

And Max again, yes, because the police safety is more important than the people's. Well, that's right. I mean, they're a government asset. They've spent a lot of money training them to knock down your door and beat you over the head. They can't go risking them. Yeah, real Octo spook. I am dead certain no knock raids would never have had popularity with the founders of America. That's right. That's right. Oh, but their lawyers said it was all constitutional and legal. Alright, we're going to move on to this next article. As I said, Steve Bannon, back on Spotify. This is by

Alana Mastrangelo. That's a name. Spotify dropped censorship of Steve Bannon's War Room Podcast after five year ban. But remember, we're still not on Spotify. Maybe I need to reach back out. Maybe I need to say, hey look, you put Steve Bannon back on. Steve Bannon's War Room Podcast has been reinstated to Spotify after being blacklisted by the European-owned platform for nearly five years. And that's not as long as we've been blacklisted by them.

We got kicked off first, Steve. You aren't cool. We did it first. The streaming service, as well as from virtually all of their platforms, except for Apple podcasts in November 2020. The ban is lifted. The political strategist podcast announced in a Monday X-Post adding, the posse can now get Bannon's war room on Spotify.

I'm assuming the posse is what he calls his listeners. You know, maybe we need to codify a name for all you guys. We need to come up with something. We'll be taking suggestions following its temporary suspension and a constructive dialogue with the show's team. New Bannon's war room episodes are available on Spotify. A Spotify spokesperson confirmed to the New York Post. Bannon, meanwhile, told the outlet that while his show is back on the platform, he has not

changed his tone or style of commentary since he was banned nearly five years ago. I think our content's the same, probably more hard-hitting than ever, he said. Spotify and a slew of other platforms banned Bannon's War Room in November 2020 after the political commentator said, and I'm quoting Steve Bannon here just to make clear to anyone, I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I'd put the heads on pikes, right? I'd put them, Anthony and you know, it clarifies here, Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. And of course, my dad never called for violence. He never talked about putting any heads on pikes.

He just talked about the mRNA vaccine, the genetic code injection. That's what got us kicked off. He didn't call for violence. He called out the violence against people with these injections. Yes, that's right. Bain told the Post that his remarks were metaphorical,

not literal. Made a comment two days before about Thomas Moore in a Man for All Seasons where they put his head on a pike, and we said it metaphorically about Christopher Wray and Dr. Fauci. He former White House Chief Strategist said. In addition to have his own show restored, Bannon has also recently been reaching left-leaning audiences appearing in March on California Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast. This is Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom has a podcast? Can you imagine anything more horrific than sitting there and listening to the prattling on of this idiot,

this vapid, vacuous moron? Who in the world listens to that? Oh, turns out we actually have Tony ready so I'm gonna quickly finish out this article. I can give it a punch and I can take a punch. The MAGA movement prides itself in being resilient, Bandit said, of how he has been able to go from being banned to being invited. Wow, this article has a mess of typos. To left-wing shows, Bandit said that while he is glad to have his own show back on Spotify,

he remains adamant about breaking up massive tech companies as the ability to erase and restore someone's voice at will is a power these entities should not have. The oligarchs go beyond big tech, but I think Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google all need to be broken up. He said, big tech, I think, is the most dangerous thing in the country. It has potential great upside, but right now it's oligarchy, power, and we have to go after them. Well, we'll see. I don't think Donald Trump has any interest

in going after the big tech oligarchy. Well, I know we just had one, but we'll take a quick break, and when we come back, we're gonna be joined by Tony Arderburn, and he'll break down what's going on with gold for us so stay with us folks. So So So You're listening to The David Knight Show. Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is however not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.

Tomorrow, it will be something else. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! The Liberty, it's your move. So You're listening to The David Knight Show. I'm sorry. And now, the David Knight Show. Welcome back folks. Joining us now is Tony Arterburn of WiseWolf.Golden. If you go to DavidKnight.Gold, that'll let Tony know you came through us if you're looking to get out of the fiat monetary system that they have right now. Tony is a great way to do that.

He can set you up with the Wolf Pack, which is a subscription model. He will ship you gold or silver, depending on how much you want. There are different levels and he also does crypto as well, not via Wolfpack, but you can do one-time purchases through him there as well. So thank you for joining us, Tony. Always good to see you, Travis. You know, you're so smooth. I actually thought we were live earlier. There was no transition. I thought we were just live, so I was going to do my – that's funny because I'm the same whether I'm off camera or on camera. We talk about the same stuff.

I must really annoy everyone around me because that's pretty much all I ever talk about. I'm the same way. Every once in a while, my wife – I'll just hear a large sigh come from her when I've been going off about something for too long. She's like, yes, honey, that's great. You can just tell that. I just tell people we're coming up on a break. I'll be right back. We'll be right back after these messages.

I've ruined so many movies or TV shows for her. What I've just been unable to stop pointing out different propaganda points here and there. She's like, all right, all right. You have to suspend disbelief in order to be normal. I know. But that's okay. Well, thank you for joining us as I said, Tony. It's great to see you as well. And first off, I want to start with talking about the Genius Act, which of course passed last week and is now going to push us towards stable coin. What do you think the likely outcome is for, you know, our current methods, whether it's the dollar or gold or Bitcoin, what do you kind of impact you think it's going to have there? Well, I think, you know, your dad and I have talked about this many times.

That's really the way that you open up a backdoor central bank digital currency is through a stablecoin system. Now the blueprint, that's because a question mark that hangs over that and I do think that as far as the plans are concerned, they have, you know, again, you look at the IMF with their Unicoin and you have the Bank of International Settlements creating their own clearing house for a centralized digital currency would be global. So the big banks and the financial institutions are already setting up the infrastructure

for some sort of world currency, if you will. It's not just a CBDC on a nation-state level, but the World Economic Forum, and it wasn't more than a year ago, they said they were proud that 97 percent of countries had adopted a blueprint for central bank digital currency. So with the election of Trump, he's thrown that out. He said there's never going to be a CBDC. They just won't call it that, right? It will come under the guise of something different. But with stable coins and why they are interesting technology, it begs the question of why they're needed.

I've been in cryptocurrency for a while. I wouldn't say I'm an expert by any means. I started buying Bitcoin when it was $400. And don't think I'm a genius because I sold it through my machines, but at least I bought Bitcoin. I was in the technology from 2016 and I still don't really understand the need for them because you already have the currencies. So if you, I mean, you still have to use an off ramp. So to me there's something else with a digital currency, with a blockchain digital currency technology, what you have is the ability to expand and

contract the money supply in real time. That's the, you have the ability to make units of currency disappear or expire. So that's the difference between something like just a regular fiat currency and a currency that's a stable coin because it's not that it's worth more because a stable coin is just basically tethered, that's a good word because that's what they call the dollar, it's tethered. It's just tethered to the currency, the national currency, so it's still fake. The issue is it becomes digitized and it becomes controllable. So that's what you have to look at. And a lot of these countries, they're going to do like a stable coin that could be backed by gold. I think the BRICS

nations, the threat has never really been that Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa create their own currency. They would just reset and re-monetize their own currencies backed by gold and then have a system of payments that's, I guess, a lot more, a lot smoother between, you know, off of the Swiss system and the Western system and not monetizing in dollars. The head of the European Central Bank just said that the euro could replace the dollar as the world's reserved tradable currency, which is laughable.

That's not going to happen, but it's going to be many currencies. It's not just that there's a currency, there's going to be technology used on cross-border payments, but I think what we're watching is the world remonetizing, different countries remonetizing their currencies through gold, okay? Because that's what happened in 2021. You have the Bank of International Settlements, this is called Basel III, they moved gold from a tier three asset to a tier one asset. So instead of it being just a reserve asset held by central banks, it became a tier one.

So it became a currency. after that gold replaced the euro For it used to be the dollar was number one and the euro was number two is held by central banks Well now it's gold is number two and the dollar is number one But to me it with the the dollar waning and usage around the world. It just it just shows you where we're headed is the resetting of all commodities and starting with gold and then a currency reset. And you're right to bring up stable coins because it's like a shift towards the stable coins.

It's just a way to make that transition into blockchain from fiat. Okay, but it's still fiat though. That's the thing. It didn't change the actual inherent value, it just changed the technology. It just makes it easier for them to zap your entire bank account and take it out. So every dollar you own would then be available to them at any given time to just snap out of existence if they so deemed it necessary. You say something- They could do it faster.

They can still do that today. I mean, you could wake up, I mean, they can put a lien on your accounts. They can seize your accounts. Like people that keep very valuable things in safety deposit boxes, I know, stop that. You don't do that.

I mean, especially if you want to keep gold and silver, that sounds like a good idea. But then you realize that the banks are subject to the FDIC and the federal government and you know, and you look at the actual banks and like the rules, they don't want you to keep stuff like that in the bank. I mean, they just don't want you to keep anything. They want you to maybe keep some, you know, life insurance policies in there.

And if definitely it's not it's not legal to keep cash in there. From what I understand, they don't want you keeping that. So always be careful with stuff like safety deposit boxes. Again, it's under the guise of of the federal government. But with the again, with the stable stable coins they would be able to do that you know through the blockchain so much easier so quick so quickly and if they were having monetary policy you know you look at what Trump is mad at drone palace is too late because how did lower rates and that that that kind of policy wouldn't necessarily be necessary because they could just contract

the money supply. Like you look at the paper currency that the US has, 80% of all the $100 bills aren't in the continental United States. They're used around the world. So you have de facto, you have all these hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe trillions, rolling around in the world, the actual world, in physical paper currency. You'd have to bring those dollars home in order to shore up the money supply. But if it's digitized, you can do that in real time You know you could you could freeze things you could shrink accounts especially stuff that hadn't been used in a while

so that's the The beauty of blockchain and its greatest assets is also its greatest weaknesses and threats to Liberty I mean it does You know in theory it couldn't support Liberty because you can have your own private wallet your own keys and things like that with stuff Like Bitcoin, but I am any kind of government sponsored anything with the currency with that technology. I think you have to be skeptical. Oh, no, the government would never utilize technology to infringe on our rights, Tony. I don't believe they do that.

I just don't think they have it in them. But yes, the one of the scariest things to me is just how they're openly talking about, well, if you don't spend your money over a certain timeline, we could just evaporate it to prevent inflation. We could just take it away. And people have been proposing that as potentially a good thing. I've seen people saying, oh, you know, this is an interesting idea. Yes, the fact that they could just go into your wallet and take your entire savings and just destroy it. Just it doesn't exist anymore. Which of course, as you said, they are able to, you know, whatever

bank that you are banking with, the government could come in and tell them, you know, freezing this account, whatever else they need to do. But with a stablecoin, it just becomes easier and easier and easier. And if all your savings of all your money is in the stable coin that gives them access to all of it you're not gonna have a cash nest egg somewhere that you can utilize if they move to a you know digital currency it means that all of it all the time is forever available to them at any given moment so I do think that is the just a very scary thing. That's the danger. Yeah, that's the danger. And, you know, the ability for them and it will control behavior. It's the end of politics. You know, you look at what happened to the Canadian truckers that were just doing a peaceful protest and against mandates

and lockdowns and everything else that we went through in 2020, 2021. And they froze accounts and they tried to stop Bitcoin. They really can't stop the Bitcoin transactions. They can stop them from the off ramps, trying to turn it into fiat currency, but peer to peer they couldn't stop. And that really showed us, that was the test run for this,

to do these decentralized cryptos like Bitcoin work. And they can. The problem is the off ramp into the traditional banking system where they can punish you and of course freeze your accounts or take these government overreaches with currency and that's exactly what you're talking about and that's the danger. I think there's a lot of breakthroughs. I was at the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas last week, and it was really interesting. It was so packed. And I remember I joined Bitcoin, again, I talk about $400 Bitcoin.

That's true. I started buying it, putting in, I bought my first Bitcoin ATM in 2016, just trying to figure out this technology. And back then it was so taboo. It's like this subculture. We get calls from the FBI and people wanting to track down certain transactions or Department of Homeland Security. It seemed like just a cloud hung over it, but I thought, no, I really think this is a wonderful technology. I like this and there's so much libertarian support for it. And you fast forward to last year in Nashville, they had Donald Trump speak, running for his

second term. But this year they had a sitting vice president, JD Vance, speaking at the Bitcoin conference. So a lot of people will say, well, now it's rigged, but I don't know. It's just the mindset there. There's not a lot of... There would be very little support for any sort of CBDC or coin that was through the government. This can be very crafty the way that they do it. They've woken up a lot of people

I will say that is it's I'm very optimistic when I go to places like those Bitcoin companies so packed There's so many people there and it was way busier than it was last year in Nashville and that was a big event So I could hardly even network. I I brought my dog beans with me and we're just walking around It's like I had to pick her up and hold her. There's so many people walking around you couldn't even just go from booth to booth. There's a lot of energy in the decentralized support systems outside of Fiat because we really are coming to the end of an experiment. We've been in an experiment since 1971 and the timeline doesn't look good for currencies not backed by anything. We just lost the dollar lost its reserve status

as using the petrodollar. We lost that ability because we just let it lapse for, I think for on purpose reasons, but we let it lapse. So it is interesting to watch, Travis, I mean we've got so much happening right now and I think eventually even like regular people will start to notice something's terribly wrong with our monetary policy. You know what I mean? It started with inflation. It started with unprecedented currency creationists when I first started coming on the show and talking to your dad at the end of 2019. They would create the GDP of South

Korea in one month. They do like a trillion in a month or more just new dollars to support the repo system and the overnights to do clearing houses. It turned out to be like $6 trillion in the last quarter of 2019, just an unprecedented number of currency creation. Think about how much damage has been done since then, and I don't even think you really felt the true consequences of the currency creation in the last five years. I think that's really starting to come to fruition as a lot of things kind of play out. Like a lot of the zombie corporations and other holdings and other banking institutions

start suffering and not making their quotas and other stuff it starts to it's a domino effect. I had a new article today like a term I never heard of but there's zombie houses like you know I heard of zombie corporations now they have houses that are in neighborhoods all over the United States that and this is their like the percentage of these kind of houses are way up where they just like the dilapidated house like in the end of the street

and it brings down other property value. And because the housing market's weak, there isn't a lot of like house flipping going on and things like that. So, you know, it's a slippery slope once the values decline and it's harder to refinance and other things like you start to see that downward spiral, you have a housing bubble. I'm watching that really closely because that's what precipitated the 08, 09, the great recession

was the housing bubble. So there's something going on with that. That will put stress on the banks and we're certainly not, I don't think the economy is in great health, but you still have, you know, a massive amount of currency creation and that's propped it up for a while. That's, but it's an unsustainable thing. Yeah. Yeah. That's one of those things where it's just, the economy is so massive and there's so many different players involved It's very hard to make any sort of solid prediction on when it's going to collapse

They have so many different ways of fooling around with it and propping it up and they keep adding, you know Joists here and there but eventually it has to come down. That's the main point is eventually You know reality does come back into effect at some point no matter what they do They can only hold this fake nonsense up for so long. We have a good comment here from Lance. He says, also with CBDC, they could do something like what they try to do with choke point where they go after a specific type of product. That's right.

Maybe you are selling some of your private gun collection to friends and they don't like that. Maybe they decide, oh, well, we think you might be some kind of criminal for that. And so your entire bank account evaporates overnight. And we've got a good comment here from for love of the road. Tell Tony he should start putting pennies in the Wolfpack. So we were with a lot of a lot for people's great, great, great, great grandchildren. Twenty twenty five will be worth a lot being the last year of them. And Tony, you got to get on that.

You got to start collecting twenty twenty five pennies, stocking them up and storing them since they're going away next year. You know, that for love of the road, tell him, thank you. Uh, that's a great idea. I've thought about putting, you know, we have the wolf cub, it's the $35 package. I I'm going to start ordering. I need to like some Indian head pennies too, like some of the collectibles because anything prior to 1982, the pennies are copper. They're real copper. So copper is a commodity and you look at the price of copper, it's funny because copper's gone up and it's continuing to get larger and larger market share.

And then you look at silver and go what's wrong with that? Of course silver went up 5% on Monday, had this massive gain, it was like $34.75 on the futures. It's pulled back a little bit. I think it's still above 34 which is great but still I mean its all time high was 45 years ago and you can't name me a commodity its all-time high was 45 years ago. And you can't name me a commodity that's all-time high was 45 years ago. There's so much manipulation that things go on in the silver market, but it can't go on

forever. I truly think there was a post by Robert Kiyosaki who wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, and he just put out, he's like, I'm trading fake money for real silver right now. He's buying as much as he can. And I'm in the same vein. I know people are bored with silver. It doesn't ever move. It doesn't do it. It doesn't have these massive gains.

But if you really look at it, and when I started my business, there was $13 silver. You know, I mean, there was times when, even when the kickoff of the scam dynamic, it was times it hit 11, 12 bucks an ounce. It's all time high again, $52.50, 1980. So we're only like 60% of the all time high right now and against a dollar that, I mean, would you rather have $19.80

in purchasing power or $2025? You know what I mean? It's so crazy, people, they try, we have this normalcy bias where there's no timeline on what the dollar actually purchases, but that's not how this works. You know, like you go back to 1980 and take a $50 bill, because I remember that was a lot bigger deal than it is today.

You could buy a lot more with this. You go to the grocery store in 1980 and go to Safeway with $50, you come out with real groceries. Again, that's like $250 today. So, silver is way underpriced, and especially you look at like Russia adding it as a strategic reserve asset, which I thought was bigger news than it got credit for, like people didn't really cover it, but I thought that was big news. And other governments are starting to add it.

I would look to that, that to me is going to be the surprise, probably the big surprise in 2025, 2026 will be what happens with silver. I mean, I'm not giving financial advice. I'm definitely not an investment guy. That's not really what I do. I just help people trade fake for real, but, uh, I would, I would see, I think we'd see an all time high in silver in the next couple of years, for sure. Okay.

Yes. As before, if you would like to get some silver or gold, you can get a David Knight dot gold and go through there and Tony will help set that up for you. Got some comments here. Brian and Deb McGartney say our whole neighborhood is full of zombie houses. That is what welfare does. Yeah, you see more and more dilapidated housing wherever you go. Things just falling into disrepair because either the person who lives there can't afford to keep them up or they lost the house and no one is even trying anymore Angry Tigers Dan good to see you angry tiger. We are an official recession Technically three months of no growth not a word from the mainstream media All leading economic indicators are in the tank the dollar below support level for two months

Some angry tiger always has some happy words of wisdom for us all There you go again angry tiger with your facts and figures. Yes. Why don't you come at us with your I know I just want to live in my happy little bubble where everything is okay I just want to I just want to feel alright angry tiger Why do you have to do this to us? But my dad has been calling the CBDC the crony billionaire digital currency Which I thought is a better term for it because it truly describes what it is

But how do you see CBDC? You know, what would be your just like gut instinct take on it if you had to give an elevator pitch about CBDC to people? I would say that that it is the holy grail for the oligarchs and ruling class. It's what they seek the most, and that is ultimate control of the money supply. It's not enough like Mayor Amschel Rothschild said in the 19th century that he didn't care who sat on the throne of the British Empire because the person who controlled the British Empire was the person who controlled the British money supply and he controlled the British money supply.

It's not enough to just control the British money supply or the American money supply or the world. It's not enough for them. They want to actually control behavior and they use that technology like blockchain which is revolutionary to be able to do that in real time it's yes there's banking is that it will replace the way that we interact financially and like Larry Fink for BlackRock said a few years ago and people were asking him about the the lockdowns and government policy and then

how BlackRock was buying all these residential homes and massive amounts. Like why does this financial institution want to own residential housing? And basically he said that you know through financial systems you can control behavior. That's what ESG is, you know, it's environmental social governance. You, you, all this flows from a Marxian totalitarian mindset and it's about centralization. What's the, what is that thing, your dad would know this but I'm pretty sure I know it's the centralization. What is it I think your dad would know this, but I'm pretty sure I know. I think the fifth plank of the Communist Manifesto is the central bank. A lot of people don't realize, I mean, Marx was a so-called economist.

It's like that's where its economics, you know, at least the guise of it is to create social systems. And the opposite of that is true. Like, you know, in a free society you'd have sound money, you know, you'd have rule of law, you'd have property rights and things like that. And then in an unjust society, in a society that's ruled by the,

like the oligarchs or the cometern, you'd have no property rights, you'd have everything ruled by the state. So that's what we're up against. I mean, it's the, to kind of, was it, quote, terminator, the future's not set. There's no fate but what we make. I don't think we're just doomed to suffer under the yoke of a Klaus Schwabian nightmare

of, you know, CBDC and getting your pod and you own nothing and be happy. I think a lot of people, I think the more that minds that get changed, the less this stuff gets implemented, the more states and local municipalities create economic zones and, you know, states that are moving to make things like put Bitcoin on the balance sheet or gold and silver or make gold and silver legal tender or even cryptocurrency. There's talks of that in certain states where you can pay your bills with it and stuff like I think that's great. And there's so there's more stuff happening. I mean, there's more and more things happening on the on the local front and state level

that are really encouraging. But we just can't let our guard down. Just because some so-and-so is going to, you have a different person in that, in the White House. Yeah, it changes possible policy. But let's not forget, you know, Jared Kushner of 666 Fifth Avenue. He was the one pushing central bank digital currency in the first Trump administration. That's his son-in-law. So, you know, not much has changed really, because we're still talking about the same kind of technocratic vision for the future, just maybe which one. And our job is to, you know, call foul on that. When you see something as a threat to liberty or your financial sovereignty, I'm definitely going to speak out on that.

Again, some of this technology is wonderful, but if it's in the wrong hands and if it's centralized and it's through the ruling class instead of us, us instead of our hands and private then we got a real problem Yeah, and that does seem to be the continual trend of things the consolidation of power and money towards the very top and That is my biggest concern with the CBDC is just how easy it makes it for these people who pull the levers of power To exercise it. By the way, that was a long elevator ride that I just did. You just did, do your elevator pitch. We just went from the bottom to the top of the Sears Tower and back.

Well, you know. Hope you enjoy. Sometimes you do need something to talk about on those long elevator rides. So you've got it down, Pat. And I saw a fun little comment. We've got multiple different comments from people, but I saw a fun little comment We've got multiple different comments from people what I saw a fun little one from solo cat 1980 asking if you have any your own custom silver coins now I don't think you do but have you ever considered, you know doing a limited run of you know

Specifically minted silver without wise wolf logo or anything like that And I know that was even Go it'd be great. I talked to YECA about that we went out to Virginia for a live free Academy deal for homesteaders and small farmers and things and to talk about people that wanted to you know live more independently and I just did a small talk about What I do as far as metals

and changing fiat into actual gold and silver coins and things like that or bitcoin. We talked about that, about having our own bars and our own wolf coins and things. I wouldn't want to go through, you know, a traditional, I want to make them myself, you know, because that was, it'd make an investment in the equipment. I think it could be done. As much scrap and things as I buy, just take a little bit. I mean, it's a little bit more, you know, I'm like right there where it's close enough where I probably could, but I would love that. I'd love to make my own rounds, especially silver Yeah, have your own little forge in the back smelting it down. I'd love that we make one for beans You know, we make we put my logo on it on a couple we need a beans coin

Exactly couple of billboards, you know, she's famous. Well beans deserves a coin That is a wonderful dog you have there and we we've got some comments here. Ron Helton one says I used to carry wads of cash on me in the 80s. Now I'd be considered a drug dealer or criminal. I'm so sick of this government. End it now. That's right. Anytime the police catch you with a large amount of cash or what they deem to be a large amount of cash, they immediately assume you're off to buy drugs and they will take that cash from you. We see that happen over and over again where they just seize it. And then good luck getting it back. Well, the best thing you can do if you've got that kind of cash and you just, you want

to make sure that you're outside of the banking system, turn it into one ounce gold Krugerrands or gold Eagles or something. I mean, you know, $10,000 in your pocket in gold is just this little tiny, you know, it's nothing. It's not a lot. And a lot of people, you know, you've seen those Mark Dice videos where he goes out and says, do you want a candy bar or do you want this 10 ounce bar of silver? And people choose the candy bar because they don't know what money is, you know.

And it's like, so a lot of time, even if you get stopped, if it's not a crazy amount, they won't even know what gold is or how much gold is worth. So you can, you know, fly under that radar. Yeah. It's a good way of, uh, subverting expectations. They're looking for a specific thing. And if you're not carrying that one specific thing, you can potentially have them not notice you at all. Mark Dice would have lost that silver bar to me even as a kid. I would taken that immediately to been like give me the silver. Absolutely. I'm like it looks too good. I Know I just instinctively I would have taken it but that's not the way you you can fly under the radar for a while You know, but that won't be true forever. Mm-hmm. I think the the the public I think in at large will

Respect metals a lot more in the coming years. To be fair, a chocolate bar might have more intrinsic value than an actual American dollar now. So if he offers you, say, a dollar bill or a Nestle chocolate bar, you should probably take the chocolate bar. That at least has some minor nutritional value in it. You're at least going to get some calories to sustain yourself when the economy collapses. Well, it'll go up in it. You're at least going to get some calories to sustain yourself when the economy collapses. Well it'll go up in value if you just as long as you don't

it doesn't it doesn't expire you know so it actually yeah you're right like a a Hershey bar would would be if you could just keep it from going bad would be worth more in a year than the dollar. The dollar only seems to go one way and that's downward. Sell dollars, buy Hershey bars. That's my investment advice. I don't give investment advice folks. Please don't take anything I say too seriously. We got another comment from the real Octo spook. Four fathers never meant to have private banking

and government in a joint venture. Our money was meant to be beyond control of private hands. That's right. The government, our forefathers were very wise and they knew again, that if you consolidate power, it becomes much more dangerous. It is a great temptation to use that. Anytime you consolidate power in any area,

someone is going to get in there who's going to do bad things with it. Absolutely. As the Lord Acton, you know power corrupts an absolute power corrupts Absolutely, if you have absolute control of the money supply through a central bank and it's tied to government What again which you know, it's not that it's not that the federal government tells the Fed what to do The Fed tells the federal government what to do and it's not that the federal government tells the Fed what to do. The Fed tells the federal government what to do, and it's not federal. That's the magic trick here. It's all language, right?

That's why it's like, who's in charge? Who actually appoints these people? Who owns that bank? G. Everett Griffin did a great job of the creature from Jekyll Island and trying to expose that and get to the bottom of it. Still, it's still an open question of what the Federal Reserve is. But clearly it dictates policy far more than the Federal Government does. Yes.

We've got another good comment here. No Truth in Them says, silver bullets. And a good comment from Lance says a different kind of silver rounds be a cool product to put your logo on some silver bullets I Seen those they make replicas of like 45 and 9 mil rounds and 50 cows I think that 50 cal around is a 10 ounce bar or 10 ounce You know round whatever you do. That's what it weighs. Hmm. So I've seen those we've sold them through the through the shop is a 10 ounce bar or a 10 ounce round, whatever. That's what it weighs.

So I've seen those. We've sold them through the shop before. But that's a good idea too. Yes, the audience has so many- They don't actually work. You can put it in your magazine. I imagine if you actually start manufacturing ammunition, the government starts taking a very close look

at what you're doing. I know you can repackage it yourself or reload yourself, but I imagine if you sell that, they want some kind of license. I'm not knowledgeable on that, but again, if you're gonna get into any kind of thing when it comes to ammunition or guns, you need to know the law,

because the government isn't going to, and they're going to wanna punish you for it. And as we were talking during the break, you had talked about how China is beginning to sell off massive amounts of the US debt they held. And they have been holding onto this for quite some time because it was seen as a fairly solid investment. But now they're just getting it out the door

as fast as they can, it seems like. What do you think that means moving forward? And do you have anything else to say about that? Yeah, I mentioned I used to, the Chinese, I believe still are the largest holder of US debt, if I'm not mistaken. And then I think Japan has a considerable amount, but they've started to become the largest seller. So a lot of things are going in the opposite direction.

Another caveat to that, if you look at what the gold producers and others are noticing in the mining sector is like how much gold is flowing eastward. It has been for a long time. So the gold's flowing eastward, the debt's being repatriated and sold back to the west. That's I think part of what's happened with the acceleration of the domination of the BRICS nations. You know, I say domination, but they are consolidating more and more economic power together. Even a lot of them aren't necessarily allies, but it's kind of like the commonality of

the enemy of my enemies my friend and the united states weaponizing the dollar has pushed these nations into uh... and really they make they forced them to choose uh... new ways to do business because they can't trust the dollar they can't trust the west they can't trust the swift system and other things you know i think that's part of the Chinese, they need us in so many ways to sell their wares and do other things in their manufacturing. Yes, they need some fat, stupid consumerists to keep buying junk.

So yeah, they need that for a while, but they're long-term planning. They think 100 years ahead. And we have possibly the dumbest people that run. I mean, and we've always had, there's always corrupt people, but you look at, and what kind of keeps me up at night sometimes when I think about how ridiculously stupid some of these politicians are are talking to some people from on a show the other day and they were in in uh in london or outside of london we were talking

about boris johnson i was just always bothered me how disheveled and ridiculous he looked and how he just i go and there and then when we had biden and other things that were just guys boris johnson to me always looked kind of like a dr zeus character made flesh. You know, he looks like the type of just crazy hair, strange proportions that would appear in a Dr. Zeus children's story as some kind of weird villain. Like a caricature. Like a walking caricature. And again, with the mind taboo, you know, so really interesting. But I say that because I look at the plans that the Chinese have with the Belt and Road Initiative and they're after rare earth minerals,

they're after commodities, and they're building infrastructure in places and, you know, on the African continent and others in the global south. They're doing that long term building economic inroads and what are we doing? Exactly what's open, we're just losing the petrol dollar. We're inflaming relations around the world. We're saying we're gonna tariff people 100% if they don't use the domino, come on. This doesn't look good for Team Dollar.

And of course that's not's not a great news for anybody It's just the way it is. Yeah, but the Chinese I think are really looking long-term and we're we're just not yeah as you said they They're they're very proud of the fact they have a very long history They love to point out the fact that China has been a nation for hundreds, thousands of years, and they're very, very proud of it. They have a large sense of nationalistic pride. And when you take that into consideration, it makes it easy to see that, yes, they do plan these things on much larger and longer timescales than a lot of people in the West

do, because America is a very young nation, all things considered. On a global timescale, America has been around for, you know, no time at all really. Whereas the Chinese have been around for, as I said, hundreds, thousands of years, and they continually look at it in that light. But I want to ask you, we saw that legal passed, or Missouri passed a legal tender bill, making it, you know, making you able to pay your debts in gold or silver. Now, I know that the government accepts them and I believe that it's optional for retailers to opt into that as well if they want to. But how do you see this going moving forward? Like, what is it going to take for people to be able to accurately assess whether something is a real gold bar or a fake gold bar, real

silver versus fake silver? How do you see people being able to work this into their daily business routine if they choose to take in gold and silver? I know there are the ETFs and there's all kinds of different electronic ways you can purchase and sell gold or silver, but of course having it in your hand is what we really want. We want people to be able to hold the gold and silver and actually use it in a transaction right there, peer-to-peer. None of this, oh well I've got you got an ETF in my account and I'm shaving off a fraction of the gold I theoretically own to pay you here. What would be a way people could determine whether it's real or fake if they want to incorporate that? It's more difficult to do than just surface level. I look at it.

You need to take a few cautionary steps, especially if it's a larger amount. You want to have some kind of relationship with some like me, like with an actual dealer that you trust as somebody that's into precious metals. If it was larger amounts, smaller amounts, it'd be easy to take pre-1965 US coinage. If you're talking about a silver quarter or a half dollar or something like that, that'd be easy. I mean, they're not usually faked and you can tell the wear on them. Again, the weight is another thing. If you have a scale and you can weigh something by grams, that's another way to guard against

getting a fake. But it'd be harder to do. I mean, I think those would be like, you could accept it as legal tender, but you might have to have a settlement period for anything that's, if you're exposed with the price of it very much. So yes, there's never any easy answers when it comes to dealing with counterfeits or currency manipulation, but at least if someone is paying you in silver, there's the chance you're getting something real.

When someone hands you a fiat $100 bill, there's a 100% chance that that is a piece of junk that is absolutely worthless. We've got to... Yeah, and you have to be careful with those too. Yeah. I forget who it was. Someone in my family accidentally, you know was given a

Forged note and you know went to go purchase something and they took it marked it and like oh, sorry This is counterfeit and it's just you don't think about it still being around but people do apparently still counterfeit notes Well, they do yeah you have to watch close for. I went and recently bought counters for both of my locations so we could run like if somebody gives me a stack of cash, I run it through a counter, it'll detect it. Just like any step, precautionary steps I can take for fake cash, I do as well. The real question becomes, why does it matter? It's not like the Fed has any kind of actual backing behind its dollars. The counterfeit money you get from the con artist is the same value as the one from the

Fed. It's just of different provenance. But we've got another. We've got another. We've got a comment here from Shadow Boxer says Samsung thinks their silver solid state battery will be cheaper than lithium ion. How can that be if silver rises? I mean, we know personally how difficult it is to mine lithium. All these rare earth mines are generally in Africa and they require a lot of human suffering to maintain

and they're quite expensive to run as well if memory serves. Oh, I agree. I think it's harder to get things like cobalt, lithium. It's much more destructive too. And then you already have silver as an above ground supply throughout history. I think that you probably would get a better cost on that, at least in the short run for decades than you would Anything else and that that's just my personal. That's without me even seeing any metrics I just know what the price of silver is weight is against against the dollar. I don't I

Think you'd have this little bit of room there. Yeah, still make some bargains yeah, it's a again all this is very hard to say how it's going to play out and My dad has written down a question here says what does Tony think is the reason for Bitcoin soaring back to all-time highs? Supply I mean you just had GameStop come in and buy I want to say like Was it 500 million they come in there's, I want to say like, was it 500 million? They come in, there's so many different companies now that are putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet

and becoming a Bitcoin holding company. Kind of like MicroStrategy is just now Strategy with Michael Saylor and that's how they, we have this enormous stock performance. They just started buying and using and putting out bids and raising capital to buy Bitcoin. That's pretty much what they're doing. And if you really look at, of course, the Trump administration and the Trump families, both Eric and Don Jr. both are on Bitcoin mining companies and Bitcoin accumulating companies. There's only 16 million Bitcoin, really.

There's supposed to be 21, but there's millions that are missing. And then Satoshi's Bitcoin that will never be, well, supposedly never be moved, right? So if you look at these companies buying thousands and thousands or tens of thousands of Bitcoin and hope, I mean, there's just not a lot of it. And the exchanges have less and less on them than they did. I mean, it's a diminishing reserve of Bitcoin held, especially after BlackRock, opening up the ETF at the beginning of 2024. So it really is about supply. And I don't I'm actually surprised that the price is as low as it is. I mean, really, with the amount of accumulation, it should be higher. And then they may drop more. And that's again, that's that's the crazy part about all of this. But more and more nation state adoption, I think that's kind

of what the game theory says is that nation state adoption will kick in, but it kind of starts with the banks. And then the Fed recently, by that, another reason probably why is the Fed dropped its recommendations on what banks should do with Bitcoin and Bitcoin exchanges. So that means that Bitcoin can be held on the balance sheet of banks. I'm talking about your small town banks. And the Fed is just because they dropped all recommendations. That was something I thought was bigger news than it got credit for. So I think you'll see more and more adoption of it. You know, and

a lot of people that where would the price of gold be right now if there was no such thing as Bitcoin? That's a great question. So you got gold at like a gold market cap now I think is like it 18 or 19 trillion something like that and bitcoins at two something like that, I mean it's It's not yet on on par with gold, but it certainly has a lot of people that would be holding gold or otherwise Or holding Bitcoin, which I think is fine, and I think it's just a mix You know gold silver Bitcoin these are the ways to hedge. And I think it's just a mix. You know, gold, silver,

Bitcoin, these are the ways to hedge against inflation. At least that's my opinion. And I do, you know, Bitcoin has a, an interesting technology and I think a draw to me, but you still can't hold it physically in your hand. Yes. That's a, that is why I've always been shy about crypto is just, I like having the ability to hold something in my hand to see it there and know Where it is as opposed to having it out in the ether and as a joke at one point when I was you know Still working at Infowars years ago I bought about $150 worth of dog coin and I lost the password and then it went through the roof So all that money I could have had just vanished. I'll never get it.

No matter how much doge goes to the moon, I will never be able to get that money. It is just, it's just locked in a wallet and I have no way to access it. And that is the story of many, many people with crypto. I had totally forgotten. I had purchased it at one point and then someone was like, didn't you buy some? I was like, oh yeah, I did do that. Didn't I? And they pointed out what the price was around the time I bought it what it was now and I was like, oh But easy come easy go I suppose that's the nature of these things Apparently Lance is reminding me. Thanks for this. It was over a million dollars. I appreciate you reminding me of the pain

We could be we could be so well off right now, me and my wife, if I had just taken better care to remember my passwords. But sadly, I did not. It is lost like tears in the rain. But enough about my own personal monetary foibles. Let's focus on the government's monetary foibles. That'll make me feel better about myself. At least I haven't put us all into crippling debt. The US credit rating dove last week of course and of course Trump was pushing trillions in new debt. Do you think that's related? And besides raising interest rates for the government, what do you think will be the effect? effect. Yeah, the modern metrics say that once a country reaches 130% of debt to GDP, it's a mathematical

ratio of some kind that it starts to unravel, like the economic system, because more borrowing, juxtaposed to production, it becomes like a snake eating its own tail. It's just bad. It's a downward spiral. That's how I understand it. I think we're at about 125 percent of debt to GDP. We're inching up. That's unsustainable. We add about a trillion dollars in debt every hundred days or so. That's why the credit rates, it's the reduction or it's the elimination of the debt ceiling and other things like that that are causing that credit because we're not balancing anything

and we're certainly not becoming fiscally responsible. So that's the issue with, I believe, with why the credit rating gets downgraded. Yes. Well, Lance is pointing out that I have kept you over time. I didn't mean to do that, Tony. I've just been having so much fun talking to you and you've always got such great information that I didn't realize it was already 1127. And I apologize that I've been just chatting your ear off over here. I was having fun, but yeah, I do have to go. I appreciate you though, brother. And ear off over here. I was having fun, but yeah, I do have to go. I appreciate you though, brother. And, you know, let's do this again next week. Absolutely. And again, I want to remind people,

if you go to davidknight.gold, Tony has kindly set that up. So if you want to purchase gold or silver through him, that'll let him know that you came through us. And he of course has Wolf Pack, where you can subscribe on a monthly basis at different tiers and he will ship gold or silver to you based on that So thank you so much for joining us Tony Thank you for your information and your wisdom on these topics Really appreciate you coming on and of course say hello to beans the brave for all of us over here. I Will she says hi back. All right. Thank you so much Tony. We'll be right back folks. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

Using free speech to free minds. It's The David Knight Show. Hello it's me, Vladimir Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better. And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the davidknightshow.com.

You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gala and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. The The The Making sense.

Common again. You're listening to the David Knight show. Welcome back folks. Thank you for still being here with us. Tony's always a great interview and he's a lot of fun to talk to he's been a great friend to the show and just a Great friend to our family over the years. He's a very very kind man We really appreciate what he does for us here now This is something that of course we have covered what happened with Grace Shara

We've had her father Scott on a few times to talk about their lawsuit and it has started. They are currently suing the state of Wisconsin over what happened and the new American will be carrying the video, the live stream of the trial. I'm about to read you the article here but if you want to follow along with it in real time you can go to the new american and look for it there so be sure to follow it and pray for them pray that they are able to get justice because what the hospital did is unconscionable it is evil. Shara V. Ascension, Health Day 1, Opening Statements. And again, they have the video at the New American and they will be carrying the live streams there. So check that out. Both plaintiff and defense attorneys

have delivered opening statements in what many are calling the trial of the century and a landmark COVID death lawsuit. For background on the case, see here and here, of course. Those are hyperlinked in the article. Scott Sharah's attorney began by telling Grace Sharah's story, a high-functioning 19 year old woman with Down syndrome. You can read the details about Grace's death in a COVID hospital in 2021 here. More hyperlinks. Explained that the charges in the case for the 12 member jury. See here for more details, more hyperlinks, they've gone in depth here, made it very easy for you to familiarize

yourself with the facts of the case in case you missed those interviews. The defense countered by blaming the family for preventing healthcare workers from properly caring for Grace, whom they characterized as having advanced COVID. The attorney claimed that the family prevented her from being ventilated. That's because most of the people, I believe 90 percent, died when they were put on ventilators. And the ventilators, of course, were the things that were killing them. I believe it was 80 percent, but yeah ventilators are a very invasive, risky procedure. ventilators are a very invasive risky procedure. Yes, ventilators are not safe and of course as we know, COVID is not that dangerous. They were desperate to put her on the ventilators because

they were being paid big bucks. Anytime you put someone on a ventilator, it was an immediate huge paycheck for the hospital and the doctors wanted that money. What she said was the only thing that could have saved her life. He also blamed her parents for having attempted to treat Grace at home using ivermectin and following the treatment protocol recommended by Dr. Pierre Corey's frontline COVID critical care alliance. That's what lawyers do in these scenarios. They are utterly ruthless.

They will blame the family who loved this child, who cared for this child, who loved her more than anyone else on the planet for this. It will try to lay that at their feet. Not the hospital that put a do not resuscitate on her chart against the family's will. Not the hospital. Not the doctors that so callously and cruelly did these things to so many people. Not necessarily putting DNRs on them, but ventilating them, keeping their families away from them because of the COVID restrictions, and forcing them to waste away alone, completely and utterly devoid of anyone who truly cared about them. The attorney also attacked Scott Schar's character, implying that he is a crazed conspiracy theorist who acted antagonistically toward hospital staff.

Well, no, you could never act antagonistically toward hospital staff. Even if this is true, after what we've seen since COVID, the dancing nurses, the utter disregard and contempt for the will of the people being treated, I don't think it's wrong to be antagonistic with them. Not rude or hateful or violent, but being open with the fact that you don't trust them. The fact that you don't believe that they have your best interests at heart and you are going to be keeping an eye on them. He turned off alarms in Grace's hospital room where he was acting as her patient advocate, thereby endangering her life. The defense ran through a litany of expert witnesses who will justify the medical staff's orders and behaviors during Grace's treatment in the hospital. First to testify for the

plaintiff will be Cindy Shara, Grace's mother. The New American and Children's Health Defense are live streaming the entire case set to run through June 20th. You can watch the live stream of the court case here and they have a hyperlink at the bottom of the article. So remember, keep the Shara family in your prayers. Pray that they are able to get justice from the government in this case because it is truly despicable what the hospital did. Of course, specifically in this case of Grace Shara, but to everyone during COVID, they were callous and cruel.

They had complete and utter contempt for the people that they were supposed to take care of And that is what we see all over the place when it comes to modern medicine This is on zero hedge never forget their excuses for lockdowns And this is via the brownstone into the brownstone Institute by John Tami the worst arguments against the lockdowns inspired by the coronavirus were medical and statistical John Tammy. The worst arguments against the lockdowns inspired by the coronavirus were medical and statistical. Taking a freedom to protect us is always and everywhere excess. The above statement of the obvious requires mention as free thinkers and free thinking organizations continue to either ignore how they sat out the lockdowns or worse, excused their inaction amid a massive

bludgeoning of freedom back in 2020. That's right, well, you know, wait and see. We don't want to jump to any conclusions here. Let's start with those trying to excuse their inaction. Not infrequently offered excuses that since most organizations and individuals in the libertarian space either weren't staffed by medical doctors or weren't medical doctors themselves, how could they have made credible cases against the lockdowns? Instead, and rather than take a stand, they adopted wait and see. How could you take a stand for personal liberty as a libertarian? Yes, it's truly the question, isn't it? You weren't a medical doctor because it

wasn't about medicine. It was about personal freedom, personal responsibility, and the fact that the government was infringing on rights. All things you're supposed to care about, but they just let it slide. Back to the whole appeal to authority. Only the doctors can make these decisions about things that are blatantly obvious, about things that the doctors themselves are getting payoffs from these major corporations about, saying that you can't decide if a tyrannical lockdown is okay because you aren't a doctor is the hype of this appealing to authority fallacy. Yeah, so we see that all over the place. People want someone with authority to tell them what to think and how to think it. You've got a lab coat, you're basically just given mind control powers. They adopted wait-see approaches so that medical verdicts could be rendered Some libertarian types are now saying that those who were publicly against the lockdowns back in 2020 were correct

But they made their cases obnoxiously and blindly given their lack of medical knowledge The only response to this kind of dissembling and nonsense utter nonsense See this write-ups introductory paragraph to see why and of course that was Scott Adams position. Yeah you you got it right but you were obnoxious about it and you only got it right because you were lucky. But remember pray for Scott Adams. Pray for his healing. Pray he finds Jesus. We are not out to gloat about the fact that he was wrong. That is not what we want to do here. Just as the worst arguments against the lockdowns were medical and statistical,

the medical and statistical arguments made in favor of lockdowns were, if possible, even worse. As stated above, no one requires force to avoid sickness or death. For now it should just be said that even if the medical consensus had been correct that millions and millions of Americans would die absent being forced out Of work and into their homes Then he locked down orders foisted on us by nail biting politicians would have read as tame relative to the precautions taken by free people The more threatening anything is the more superfluous is any kind of policy reaction to the threat? That's right You don't need to make policy to protect people from bears. People intrinsically

avoid danger. They will look at something and take the necessary amount of precaution based on the perceived amount of danger. The simple overwhelming truth is that people should never have their individual freedom to protect themselves taken from them. Period. End of story. Applying the previous assertion to organizations like Kato Students for liberty and others that seemingly took a wait and see approach to the lockdowns their stances were wrongheaded Lest they or readers forget the organization's mentions were founded on the notion of individual Individual freedom as the foremost ideal in which case a wait and see what the science or medical establishment says is dangerously wrong That's right. You don't need to see what the medical establishment says

You don't need to see if they come back and support freedom. You simply take your principled stance and say no You cannot do this. It is not within your scope. It's not within your wheelhouse We have rights endowed upon us by our creator and no man may take them. Audi MRR Deep State has agents in Congress, law enforcement corporations, and definitely in medicine. Only a psychopath would willfully administer from death severe knowing that it will harm a patient. M Sellers, praying this family gets justice. Yes, about Scott Schara and his daughter Grace. Please continue to pray for them. They have suffered so greatly at the hands of these, as Adi says, psychopaths. It's

simply because as Brownstone Institute founder Jeffrey Tucker has pointed out, politicians at the local, state, and national levels did not take a wait-and-see approach. That's right, the government does not wait and see. They are very proactive when it comes to taking your rights. They're not gonna wait and see if they need to take them. They're gonna absolutely take them. They are going to be very proactive. They're going to pass laws, pass bills. They're going to create bureaucracies to take them from you. They are constantly working on tightening the noose around your neck.

Why would they wait and see when the whole point of the pandemic was to take your liberties? It would be, wait and expose your lies. Of course they're not going to do that. They never let a good tragedy go to waste. They didn't call into serious question organizations and individuals sitting on their hands. How could they? So, you know government will never wait and see on anything What an odd excuse or piece of internal reasoning to explain away a lack of action It implies that freedom should always be the loser in times of uncertainty or when politicians are feeling particularly hysterical That's right If Nancy Pelosi just clutches her pearls a bit harder

You've got to give up your freedoms. Or if Donald Trump gets up there and says, Fauci's a good guy, you got to trust him, they've got to take the shots, you've got to take those shots. At which point it should be said that freedom is easily the best way to turn the unknowns and uncertainty into true knowledge. So while libertarian groups and individuals who sat out the lockdown should reflexively defend freedom every time government is in the process of taking it, it's useful to add that free people crucially produce information. That's right, a free person with freedom to access

information will make the best choice for themselves and they will also produce more information. Which brings us back to the earlier assertion in this write-up that people don't need to be forced to avoid sickness or death. Some no doubt responded as they read the latter that some people would in fact have lived worked and run their businesses without regard to a spreading virus. To which the answers here can only be precisely. Precisely because free people respond in all manner of ways including disdain to fears driven by unknowns. We need them to be free without millions of different responses or realistically hundreds of millions of different responses in the US, people including

experts We blinded to the truth about whatever it is that threatens us or not Since free people once again produce information. The only answer to uncertainty about what we don't know is freedom. It's just something to keep in mind in the here and now. Four years ago, this month, over 40 million Americans lost their jobs and hundreds of millions around the world found themselves hurtling towards starvation amid a global panic among politicians. Shamefully and tragically, some of the foremost organizations and individuals devoted to liberty

sat out the tragedy and seemingly defend their inaction to this day by hiding behind medicine, science, and a lack of information. Excuses and internal justifications are wholly insufficient. Freedom is its own always and everywhere virtue. Period." That's right. These organizations that supposedly are out to protect liberty just sat on their hands and said, well, what can you do? We don't have enough information yet. Well, you know the government is always out to take your rights. You know that they're always going to do everything they can, use anything they can to infringe upon any right that they can. And once you know that, you don't have to trust them

ever again. You can immediately reflexively push back on whatever they say. Say, uh-uh, not until you prove it. Not until you have shown me exactly how this works. And even then, if they do prove that there is danger, you still don't give up your rights. You just don't do that. We're going to move on from the pandemic because I do want to talk about the drone war that is going on in Ukraine. We've got some comments first. Oh, well these are older comments and while they are good, I think I will continue on with this. That way I do get to talk about Ukraine because I promised it at the beginning of the show and I don't want to make myself a liar and if we have time at the end once I blitz through

these I'll read them I do appreciate all you guys you guys have such very insightful comments I appreciate all the knowledge that you all have is on zero hedge it's worse than you think an inflection point in the history of warfare that's how zero hedge described the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airfields in a post yesterday. I think there's a reason to be optimistic here, though most countries will likely eschew these sorts of perfidious attacks because the knock-on effects of their enemies retaliating in kind, every civilian and commercial vehicle being suspect, are simply too costly. I think this man might be being a bit too sanguine. I think they love civilian casualties

I think it gives them an excuse to ramp up control and totalitarian measures at home If you have to worry about civilians or civilian looking things that gives you an excuse to crack down on civilians Oh, sorry. We had a container that looked like it was just a regular transport, but it turned out it contained kamikaze drones. And as such now, all of you are suspects and need to be surveilled. The Ukrainians may be outliers here in their willingness to court suicidal risk. We've seen that they're willing to fight, quote-unquote, to the last man. They're willing to spill out all their blood. But if I'm wrong, it's worse than you think because it turns out there's an off-the-shelf version of the Ukrainian

drone attack. Ironically, it was deployed by the Russians, as Clint Ehrlich details in the thread below. Russia's Club K system, the year is 2009. Russian defense contractor AGAT announces a new weapon system. From the outside, it looks like a shipping container. On the inside, each container has four cruise missiles which can be used to strike enemy airfields. Russia was criticized for even developing the weapon. It was accused of perfidy. Housing a strike system inside a civilian shipping container was viewed as an ethical. This isn't a threat about hypocrisy, though. What makes everyone bend their ethical war makes everyone bend their ethical principles in the pursuit of victory.

Club K matters because it was a preview of today's attack, but also of new attacks that are coming soon. That's right. This is going to be happening more and more in my opinion. I don't think we were at a place in time where people really care about being perceived as perfidious. Nor should it have been a surprise that the shipping containers can conceal helicopter drones. The Ukrainian drones were smaller suicide models, but the basic principle is identical. Second, the shipping container weapons

don't have to be moved by truck. They can go anywhere shipping containers go. Expect to see future attacks launched from containers on trains and ships. And as we mentioned before, Daniel Suarez's book book Kill Decision, that's a main plot point. The container is on a ship. Third, the real target of these systems is in airfields. It is ships. Shipping containers can be used to ambush surface vessels like carriers with close-range attacks.

I believe, yes, in Kill Decision, I believe the container was on a ship and a ship was also the target. That won't be a major part of this war, but China is taking notes if things kick off in the Pacific. Hopefully President Trump soon realizes he's had the power to end this war all along by cutting off aid to Ukraine, like the Democrats did to South Vietnam 50 years ago. Otherwise the risk will multiply. Maybe Russia decides to give this club case system

to the Iranians or the Houthis or Mexican cartels, who knows? Or maybe Lindsey Graham managed to push his 500% secondary sanctions bill through the Senate and now it's with a veto proof majority. In the meantime, the futures are red. Let's try to make some money. Good old Lindsey Graham, as I've said before, for someone who is so obviously, in my opinion, gay, he sure likes

getting rid of the young men in war. He seems to be working against his own objectives. Russia's pipeline gas supply to Europe rose in May. Russia's natural gas deliveries via pipeline to Europe jumped by 10.3% in May compared to April. Data calculated by Reuters showed on Monday. Of course, Europe is still hoping to achieve net zero while taking gas from Russia. Last month Russia's gas giant Gazprom sent 46

million cubic meters of natural gas via the only remaining route to Europe, the TurkStream. For the Reuters estimates based on data from ENTSOG, the European gas transmission group, the deliveries in May compare to 41.7 million cubic meters per day that Russia supplied in April. Up from 41.7 to 46 million cubic meters. Year to date, Russia's deliveries via TurkStream rose compared to the first five months of 2024 to 7.2 billion cubic meters this year, up from 6.6 billion cubic meters last year. Reuters calculations showed Russian gas supply via pipelines to Europe has slumped since 2022

after Russia cut off many EU customers from its deliveries and Nord Stream stopped supplying to Germany after Russia reduced flow and after a sabotage in September 2022. Russian gas still accounts for more than 15% of the EU's gas deliveries, including by pipeline and via LNG imports. The EU has reduced the share of Russian gas imports from 45% of all gas imports before 2022 down to 18%. Now European Commission President Ursula

Von der Leyen said, or Von der Leyen, as my dad likes to say, fond of lying, that's the one. Russian pipeline gas supply via Ukraine stopped on January 1st, 2025, after Ukraine refused to negotiate an extension to the transit deal. However, some European countries, including Hungary, continue to receive Russian gas through the TurkStream pipeline via the Balkans.

Last month, the EU unveiled a roadmap to independency on Russian energy. Perhaps just a bit too late, isn't it? Perhaps this was something he needed to do before starting a proxy war with Russia. Biden said Russia should be destroyed, said Brazil's Lula. Biden wanted to see Russia destroyed during his time in office. That's right. The United States has the mandate of heaven to destroy whoever we want, wherever we want. That's how the politicians perceive it.

If all we talk about is war, there will never be peace, says that was said by Lula. Moscow has long described the Ukraine conflict as a proxy war. And they're right about that. They are absolutely right. The American people are utterly ignorant of the history of what is going on in Russia and Ukraine, but they are right. We have been financing the Ukrainians for a long time and we are the ones that overthrew their government. Frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear powers. The United States

helping Ukraine and Russia, Rubio said in March, noting that the current White House administration is eager to see it end. Well, then stop sending them weapons and money. It's literally that simple. You could end the war or at least make it much easier for Russia to negotiate with Ukraine by simply stopping the supply of weapons and money to them. Ukraine carries out on-water strike using 1,100 kilograms of TNT on key Putin Bridge. Now, of course, was this Ukraine or was this the USA? We have so many different operations and plots and schemes going at all times and so many different black ops agents that are always doing things. It's hard to say who is really doing what.

The article describes Ukraine's successful underwater strike on the Crimean Bridge, a key project of Vladimir Putin, the strike carried out by Ukraine's Secret Service, the SBU, targeted the underwater pillars of the bridge. The article also mentions that the attack comes after a series of missile strikes by Russia on civilian areas in Ukraine. Ukraine has launched the audacious new attack on a bridge in Crimea days after their Pearl Harbor ambush on Russia. Of course, my dad did an article about that.

If you would like to see that, it is up on our sub stack, the David Knight Show sub stack, so you could share that around. The country's secret service, the SBU, says they blasted the underwater pillars of the Crimean bridge overnight after a months-long operation. Video shows a detonation erupting underneath the bridge after 1,100 kilograms worth of explosive devices had been covertly placed by SBU agents. Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, is a personal project of Vladimir Putin, which links the peninsula invaded by Russia in 2014 to the mainland. The SBU said the strike was activated

at 4 44 a.m. adding the bridge is effectively in a state of disrepair. Well isn't that wonderful? More war, more damage, even as they try to talk about peace. Ukrainian attacks trigger power outages in Russia. The Ukrainian military launched drone strikes on multiple Russian regions late Monday evening, causing a complete blackout in Zaporozai, regions and leaving parts of Kherson without electricity, according to local governors. The attack damaged high-voltage equipment, the northwestern part of Zaporozai, resulting in a region-wide outage Governor Evgeny Balitsky wrote on Telegram shortly before midnight.

Health care facilities have been switched to backup power sources, Balitsky noted. Some 600,000 households across 457 settlements in the Zaporozai region were still without electricity as of 7am Tuesday. Well, as I said, we've got quite a few comments here and I want to make sure I get to them before the end of the show. These are about no-knock raids and police. So we'll leave the war in Ukraine for tomorrow. Nibiru 2029. Besides opioids, Afghanistan was about training the military in the oppressive acts of societal jackboot policing. That's right, we saw how after

after the U.S. invaded, they were right back to producing opioids and heroin. The Taliban had effectively stomped it out or had reduced it to a great extent. But once the U.S. military came back in, it was open season for growing poppies. They wanted that opium. They wanted it for the opioids. Of course, yeah, the US was guarding poppy fields and all that scandal. But let's not forget that this push for the militarization of the police was done under Obama, when the left typically pretends to be anti-police in general, and tyrannical police especially, but when they want to push that forward they use someone on the left, because they know there won't be pushback from them, much in the same way that we see all this surveillance stuff coming from Trump, and increases in spending coming

from Trump, because that's something that the right has always opposed but when it's being pushed through by Trump it's okay. Yes. When it's our side that does it, it's all right. Like Nixon said, well when the president doesn't it's uh it's not illegal. When my side doesn't it's uh it's good it's not bad. About you pointing out the propaganda in movies. About Student Loan Forgiveness First. Cabos888. How would the government indoctrinate people if they don't go to college?

That's right. You are literally paying for your own indoctrination at that point. You are buying in, literally. You are saying, here's my money. Teach me about Marxist theory. Thanks. About pointing out propaganda in movies. Ron Helton

won. I have the same problem, Travis. LOL. The wife is now hesitant to even watch a movie with me. Yes, it is. I try to let her enjoy things and if possible, you know, discuss it after the films or the TV shows. But there are just points where it becomes utterly unbearable and I am forced to continually point things out. And she has had to stop quite a few movies because I have ruined them for her. As I said, there will be a large sigh and then just click the TV show or movie turns off and goes on the list of things that she cannot watch with me around anymore. So I try to, as I said, do the debriefing, we'll call it, afterwards. But that is someplace I struggle with. I tend to, I tend to mouth off a lot. Brian DeBacardi, same here, only watch movies to pick them apart. Yes, I am continually doing this.

Whether it's- That is kind of the only reason to watch these movies anymore Hollywood has gone so far down the tubes and they all are filled with propaganda anymore Yes, every single movie has propaganda in them at this point. It's impossible not to notice It drives me insane and then by proxy drives my wife insane I'm engaged with a proxy war with my wife using Disney movies as a basis. No, we don't watch Disney movies. If we do, they're the older ones from the classics. But we are almost out of time, folks.
