The David Knight Show - Wed Episode #2229: Hegseth Called Iran Dead — He Was Wrong

Starting point is 00:00:28 in a world of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 25th of March. You have our Lord, 26. Well, it seems like every day that comes, we have the federal government usurping more power and banning more things.

Starting point is 00:00:57 Today, we see that they're banning Wi-Fi routers if they're not made in the United States. What's behind all of this? We're going to probably have to start looking at these signs saying they give free Wi-Fi. We're going to look at that as a plea of liberation rather than an offer of services. And there is some good news that is coming up. Can we ban the Trump bioweapon? The MRNA, GCI, genetic code injection?

Starting point is 00:01:29 Well, there are three states who are trying to do it. We're talking about which states and what is the basis of this. Of course, I'll also have updates on the war. Gerald Sinty is going to be with us talking about the war as well as taking a look at the economics. What is going on with gold? Why haven't we seen gold go up already? We'll be right back. Stay with us.

Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah, free Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi from the feds who want to tell you which routers you can buy now. They claim it's a national security issue. They're vulnerabilities that are built in. What is behind this? Is this crony capitalism? Is this protectionism? Is this the government wanting to have its own backdoors into what you're doing

Starting point is 00:02:30 rather than perhaps a foreign company or foreign government? I think that's really what it is. When you look at this, I think they want to put their own backdoor in. This is the same type of stuff we saw and talked about with 5G and Huawei. they lay out all the issues they say you know with 5G the companies that put this in they can do this and this and they can spy on everything that you do and so forth and it's like yeah and so can you so this is another one of those issues I think and yet what's even worse about this what I think is really pouring salt into the wound is this is not even being banned by Congress not that

Starting point is 00:03:12 Congress would have the authority to do that under the Constitution or the 10th Amendment. Nobody in the federal government has the authority to do this. But where is it coming from? You know, just like we talked about gun control by executive order by Donald Trump, that was the worst possible scenario. That is worse than violating the Constitution by congressional law. That takes a lot more effort. It's worse than violating it with a Supreme Court ruling, which doesn't take as much effort

Starting point is 00:03:39 as the Congress, but still takes more effort than a single individual. And the individual working through taking that power for the presidency also is taking that power for the bureaucracy, which is under the executive branch. And that's where this is coming from. This ban is coming from the FCC. What gives them the right to do this? What gives the FCC the right to even exist? The FCC is not in the Constitution.

Starting point is 00:04:08 It was a practical issue in terms of allocating spectrum, but they didn't need to have the FCC around to do that. You can do that with a one-time auction. You don't need to have an entire unconstitutional agency to hang around. You've got an unconstitutional agency looking for something to do, twiddling their thumbs, and guess what? Now they're going to be banning routers. And this is the same guy, Brendan Carr,

Starting point is 00:04:32 who whenever you have a mainstream legacy broadcaster like CBS, like CBS or somebody else that says something that Trump doesn't like. He wants to take their license. And Brendan Carr is just fine with that. These people are out of control. So what is this? The White House convened interagency review that determined that these devices pose unacceptable threats to U.S. households,

Starting point is 00:05:02 critical infrastructure, and the economy. This is to the First Amendment. The bump stock was to the Second Amendment, frankly. Major brands like TP Link, which has the dominant share of the U.S. market, Netgear, Google Nest, Amazon, Ero, Cisco, Lynxys, ASIS produced most models abroad, often in China, which controls an estimated 60% of U.S. home router market. Of course, we've had reported about the program that the U.S. government has, or if interesting persons buy a computer,

Starting point is 00:05:40 they would route it through they had an agreement with the corporations and the shippers and so forth. They would route it through this facility they had in San Antonio. And they would load it up with things to surveil what that person is doing before they would deliver it

Starting point is 00:05:52 and deliver it as a new product. But anyway, you look at this and say, well, the motivation of this might be crony capitalism helping his friends, one of these companies that's part of this net care, even though they do manufacturing abroad. They also do some manufacturing in the U.S. So their stock went up in anticipation that's going to be more protection for them.

Starting point is 00:06:14 So it's protectionism, it's crony capitalism. It's a violation of the Constitution by the bureaucracy, yet again. Why? Because they weren't a surveillance state. So the FCC highlighted how malicious state and non-state actors have exploited vulnerabilities and foreign-made routers for cyber attacks on American civilians. That is always going to be the case. They might want to think about that before they put all of our military eggs in the artificial intelligence basket, or before they put all of our eggs anywhere on some online cloud data source.

Starting point is 00:06:53 We've seen those things hacked over and over again. Companies can seek exemptions through the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security. Think about that. You can't manufacture this. You can't bring in stuff unless you ask permission of the Defense Department or Homeland Security. Talk about a militarized police state. You are there.

Starting point is 00:07:18 And you'll own nothing unless they expressly allow you to have it. The move bills on prior FCC actions, such as the December 2025 ban on new foreign-made drones. That's another thing they've banned. We didn't cover in a great deal. deal of detail. Can't get your drones from abroad? Well, you know, we should don't really have a drone manufacturer here. They have nobody wanted to go into that business or because the China price in terms of slave labor, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, all these other things that are giving China the advantage. They don't address that instead where they're just putting up as a wall,

Starting point is 00:07:57 an economic wall. And so there's the lines with ongoing security. of firms like TPLink, which faces separate national security probes and a lawsuit from Texas over alleged deceptive marketing and data access risks. So just take a look at what's happened over the last few weeks. We've seen governments, whether it's state government or whether it's federal government, move to ban 3D printers in effect, say, well, you're going to either be put out of business, or you're going to go to the expense of maintaining a database, and every time somebody wants to print something,

Starting point is 00:08:40 you go to the government database or the government-approved database and look to see whether this particular file is approved for printing or not. Is it on the ban list? We don't want you printing 3D gun parts, and we don't want you printing something that might be copyright issues. So unless you put that into your 3D printer, we're going to ban your 3D printer. That's going to ban 3D printers altogether.

Starting point is 00:09:06 It's too expensive for most to be able to do that. And even if the ones who come through will be far more expensive because of this burdensome regulation, everything that we see in our life. I mean, we just had an issue with a water heater. And whenever you've got any kind of appliance around your home, you see how much more expensive it is when the government's got its own regulations and what they demand to have happen. which is not necessary.

Starting point is 00:09:33 You know, we had a much better life when I was a child because they didn't have government micromanaging and raising the price of every single thing. Well, so they banned 3D printers. Then we got California and some other places wanting to ban open source software, open source operating systems and things like that. If you don't go through and do the know-your-customer stuff,

Starting point is 00:09:57 if you don't put in digital ID and age verification for kids and all these other things that they want in there, then we will shut you down. So they're over and over again. They're banning stuff, and they're putting these onerous regulations on corporations making their products more expensive, more difficult to obtain in a new way.

Starting point is 00:10:14 And then shutting off things that a lot of people get these secondary pieces of software because they want something that they know is open source. They can look at it and see that it is not spying on them. The government doesn't want you to be able to do that. The government wants you to pay more, for their friends, the people who give them money, their owners and donors.

Starting point is 00:10:36 You know, Google gives money to politicians. Apple does as well. So you need to get those proprietary operating systems. They're the only ones that are going to be able to comply with this. And then, of course, now we've got banning routers. What's next? Well, I mean, just look at what they've done with cars and homes and how they're gradually strangling car and home ownership

Starting point is 00:10:56 because they're onerous regulations. Well, U.S. Banding Foreign Made Wi-Fi routers. Every router sold nationwide is at least partially built overseas, including popular models from TPLink and net gear and so forth. And again, this is the way the economy, whether you like it or not, this is the way the economy has organized. And it is very much like what Leonard Reed talked about with iPinsel. That's the way voluntary markets organize to try to make things more efficient.

Starting point is 00:11:24 I know the Chinese government has stepped in and a very fascist protectionist. way. And so Trump wants to make us more like the Chinese government. I think we need to move in the opposite direction. But everything that he's doing is designed to blow up these bridges that we've got. And guess what? He does it before we've got a solution domestically. It's just like his war. We're going to go in and blow up Iran. It's like, well, what about they take the straight of home? I don't talk about that. Now he's worried about it, right? He goes in and he blows up the bridges to products that are made abroad and parts that are made abroad, even for people who are doing domestic manufacturing.

Starting point is 00:12:07 Even if they build most of it here, they still got to get some parts from abroad. He just shuts it off like it's a faucet or something. Even before there is something else to take its place. This is a pattern of behavior, pattern of insanity, really, and a self-harm. FCC said the move is intended to prevent foreign adversaries. like China and Russia from accessing equipment, you think that's going to stop them? You're not going to stop that with this.

Starting point is 00:12:37 It's basically, again, it's protectionism, and it's our own government wanting to have its own backdoors in this stuff. Scaling up production of fully U.S. made routers is expected to take time, see? Internet service providers could face challenges supplying equipment to new customers. In other words, another problem. More self-harm from Trump. He's like some mentally distaste. teenager cutting themselves in the corner of the room.

Starting point is 00:13:02 This is like, he's cutting us. He's not just cutting himself. There's no immediate threat to devices that are already in use. They're going to grandfather in the devices that are there. Isn't that nice of them? The move targets a global supply chain, as always. It's what Trump does with everything. Now he's at the global supply chain of energy.

Starting point is 00:13:23 You notice there's a pattern. Couldn't be a conspiracy or a plan, could it? You know, that's the real fore. the fact that these people got people to believe that Trump was Republican instead of a New York City Democrat and got them to make excuses for all of the globalist Democrat things that he's doing and blowing up the supply chain everywhere. And so China has historically supplied about 60% of these and they're going to just cut that off. It's right away.

Starting point is 00:13:55 So get ready for a shortage of these things. you may want to get something now if you think you're going to be in the market for a router any time soon. Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC, said, I welcome this executive branch national security determination. I don't welcome the national security state. As I said many times, it's something that was an abomination that was created by Harry Truman, just like he created the NSA with an executive order, a secret executive order, just like he set us on the path of all of these non-declared, wars calling it a police action. He was the one who set up the national security state.

Starting point is 00:14:31 And we can't tell you anything about what we're doing. We operate completely in the dark. And you can't see what we're doing. What does that invite? That invites corruption like nobody has ever seen. And that's what we've gotten ever since. I'm pleased, said Brendan Carr, that the FCC's now added foreign-produced routers, which were found to pose an unacceptable national security risk to the FCC's covered list. Well, I'll tell you what. If you're worried about it, take care of it with your contractors

Starting point is 00:15:01 that you're buying government products from or your military products from. Leave me alone. What I do has nothing to do in national security. There's nothing that I have that has to do with national security. I know you would like to eavesdrop on everything that I'm doing because I'm opposed to you and everything that you are doing. But it's not about national security.

Starting point is 00:15:22 This is just ridiculous. But this is a guy who wants to punish broadcasters for Trump. This is a guy who hates the First Amendment. He hates the Constitution, all the Bill of Rights, for that matter. Just fascists. Carry out direct attacks against American civilians and their homes, he said. Well, none of us are worried about that. We don't need to be protected from that,

Starting point is 00:15:45 just like we don't need to be protected by the TSA that fails 95% of the time. You know, they, how in the world do we convince people that there's a threat? Well, they don't have to convince you of a threat. They just pronounce it as a threat. The real threat, folks, is Washington, D.C. That's a threat to our lives. So we're not providing foreign actors of the built-in backdoor. No, the feds are the ones who want to have the back door.

Starting point is 00:16:12 And we will find at some point in the future that there's this secret memo that in the name of national security, the router manufacturers are not allowed to say anything about it. And we'll find that they're mandating for them, that they report everything, that we need to give them a backdoor into what we're doing. Well, speaking of back doors, this mail-in voting election that Trump says, we've got to pass Save America Act,

Starting point is 00:16:37 or the country's lost, and he's going to do anything that he can to get this through. Well, it turns out that, you know, not only is this guy the father of the vote-by-mail election, He's the one who started this in 2020. I remember very clearly saying, you are setting up one of the worst risk for honest elections we've ever had when he did it. And he did it as part of the phony lockdown.

Starting point is 00:17:04 Well, now he just cast a mail-in ballot himself. He says mail-in voting is mail-in cheating. And yet that's what he did in Marlago in a special election. Not only that, but you know, we've always had absentee ballot. ballots. If you are sick or going to be out of town on election day or whatever, and course, election day is a very long period of time in most states now. But you always had the option if you were sick or disabled or going to be out of town to vote by mail. What changed was the way that Trump did. Everybody is voting by mail. And once they did it to that large

Starting point is 00:17:39 extent, it is something that is a real security risk. I agree with him. But he's the one who created all of this stuff. He's a father of vote by mail corruption. And so the father of vote by mail corruption decided that he wanted to vote in this election. And even though he was in Palm Beach at the time, and even though he could have voted with early voting in person, he chose to do vote by mail. The guy is consistent in a way, isn't he? Trump. Trump is railed against voting by mail for years. Claiming without evidence, says CBS, but I think there's plenty of evidence that if you just look at the way the thing is done. There's plenty of evidence that vote by mail and electronic voting machines are a real hazard. And you can find

Starting point is 00:18:32 examples of it, but you can see that it is open to that type of corruption nevertheless. But they said his Save America Act would add more voter ID requirements and limit mail and voting. I think that's a good thing. But again, the hypocrisy of Trump in terms of being the creator of this and in terms of using it himself reeks as usual. But here's, as we talk about him being the father of the mail-in voting fraud, it's also the father of the COVID-MRNA fraud. And now we've got three states have offered bills that would declare these MRNA COVID shots, quote, weapons of mass destruction. How long have I been calling it weapons of mass destruction?

Starting point is 00:19:20 I've been calling it a bio weapon for years because it is a bioweapon. And I'm not the only one who's been calling it that. You've got a lot of scientists, even a lot of public health organizations and some other foreign governments who have called it a bio weapon. Well, the three states that are doing this are Minnesota, Arizona, and our own Tennessee. They've now introduced legislation designating M RNA injections as, quote, biological weapons of mass destruction. Last year, Minnesota was the first to propose a law criminalizing MRA jabs,

Starting point is 00:19:51 following Arizona earlier this year, and now Tennessee, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, South Carolina have introduced this, and Tennessee have previously sought to restrict the use of MRNA technology. It's only a matter of time before these injections become outlawed, I predicted Nicholas Holzer, who is with the McCullough Foundation, an epidemiologist and administrator there. Hulser noted that if the Arizona bill gets enacted into law, quote, processing, distributing, or manufacturing these shots will constitute terrorism. You know, it really was terrorism, if you stop and think about it. That entire COVID-McGuffin is scaring people to death over something that's not real.

Starting point is 00:20:38 but, you know, using scare tactics, using violence and threats of violence. They did get violent with people if you didn't follow their policies, right? All of that, that is terrorism. And so he said, and rightfully so should be called terrorism and have related charges and even life imprisonment. Given these shots have killed, injured, and disabled millions upon millions of people across the globe, rivaling hundreds of Eroshauna nuclear attacks,

Starting point is 00:21:11 it is a weapon of mass destruction. Again, you know, Trump keeps lying to us about how many lives he saved and all the rest of this stuff is. Pure fantasy. It's not a shred of evidence. There's plenty of evidence of mass. You can look at the epidemiological charts. You can look at the excess deaths.

Starting point is 00:21:29 Yes, the excess deaths started going up in 2020 because they were doing things like putting people on ventilators that had respiratory issues and killing them. 90% of the people dying. But the Trump administration was rewarding hospitals for doing that, rewarding them for pointing at somebody and saying, you've got the magic mystery disease, right? 20% bonus for everything you do in the hospital.

Starting point is 00:21:49 And we'll give you $13,000 if you point at them and say that they've got the disease, instant $13,000 plus a 20% bonus on everything in the hospital. And if you put them on a ventilator $39,000, of course you're going to do that to people. They hold life cheaply. It's about making money because the corporations have been taken over. The corporations have taken over the hospitals. And the doctors are not in control anymore. It's the bureaucrats and the corporations that are in control of health care.

Starting point is 00:22:18 And so we saw an increase in the number of excess deaths. But you can see everywhere, when the MRI shot rolls out, you can see a massive spike go up in deaths. It killed a lot of people right away. And then there's a lot of people who are. still dying from turbocancer, still dying from heart disease, like myocarditis, paracarditis, dying from blood clots, dying from this spike protein, this genetic code injection that I've been calling it since 2020, that changes your body. I mean, why didn't anybody, why didn't anybody see this when Trump goes around and says, how long is it going to take you to manufacture? And they say,

Starting point is 00:23:00 oh, we've got something. We can do it right now because we're going to turn your body into a manufacturing plan. I said, okay, stop right there. I see a problem with this. I don't want my body turned into some kind of a manufacturing facility for anything. And how do I turn it off? Well, it turns out you don't turn it off. That's why this thing is so long lasting and why we don't have a final number. It's an ongoing thing. The Minnesota bill clearly states it is, quote, the intent of the legislature to designate MRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction.

Starting point is 00:23:36 Tennessee's bill is known as the MRNA Bio-Weapons Prohibition Act. It was introduced last week, and it prohibits the manufacture acquisition possession or making accessible to others of MRNA injections and products. It requires state and local government officials to use all lawful means necessary

Starting point is 00:23:56 to investigate or to enforce suspected violations. It punishes violations the same as manufacturing, requiring, possessing, or transferring a weapon of mass destruction, which is a Class B felony. So it's been introduced in Tennessee, Arizona, and Minnesota. We should try to get the state senator who's introduced at Janice Bowling. We should try to get her on the show. Give her a thank you. Thank you for the same. We've had a bill that was introduced in Tennessee talking about not putting MRA and food, genetically,

Starting point is 00:24:33 engineering it into foods. And that was mocked by the mainstream media. Look at these people. You know, they're paranoid conspiracy theorists. It's like, well, we're not paranoid. It's already been talked about. And the guy who put it in, I think, was a doctor as well as a representative anyway. He said, here's the articles where they're bragging about.

Starting point is 00:24:54 That's what they're going to do. how they're going to deliver it. We don't want drugs put in our food. And by the way, we don't want drugs put into our drinking water either, like fluoride or anything else. Why would you dose people through their food and water? Makes absolutely no sense if you really are talking about health. Again, if you're looking at something, let's say that you've got a drug and you want to be safe and effective. Well, if you get too much of anything, it's not safe.

Starting point is 00:25:24 And if you get too little of what you're trying to get, it's not effective either. Dose means everything. Why would you put it into the water supply? Why would you put it into the food? So M RNA-based injections instruct human cells to produce a genetic spike protein. Yeah. And you can't turn that thing off. People are still producing it after several years in some cases.

Starting point is 00:25:47 This is a report, by the way, from Lifsite News. LifeSight News reported last fall that more than 81,000 physicians scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected government officials, and 17 professional public health and physician organizations have demanded withdrawal of the COVID-19 shots from the market. Well, I'm one of those. I didn't record it anywhere except on my program.

Starting point is 00:26:14 I never signed up on any list that I saw anywhere. I'd be happy to do that. But again, I guess, you know, the counting. to 81,001 concerns citizens and physicians and scientists. The total number of COVID-19 shot deaths reported to the VAIR's adjusted deaths exceeds 589,000 in the U.S. and 17 million around the globe. And again, why did they set up this vaccine adverse events recording system if they're not going to pay any attention to it?

Starting point is 00:26:47 We've had situations in the past where a vaccine was noted to be responsible for nine deaths. not 900, not 9,000, not 9 million, but 9 deaths. And it was banned in several states. Why can't we do it with this? It is long past time to do that. Well, as we look at the medical profession, we have this article here from Futurism. A doctor reels as her son becomes a plumber in the age of AI.

Starting point is 00:27:21 She said, am I the blip in my family's more? traditional working class journey. In other words, everybody in my family was always working class. I went to college. I became a doctor. Now my son is going to become a plumber. Oh, no. She said, I want to pay this forward. I feel like I'm disrespect to my parents because it was so important for them for me to go to college and get a college education and become a doctor. And it's like, well, maybe your son sees something that you don't. I would pat the son on the back and I'd say, well done. You read the signs of the time. There is no. No. job that is guaranteed.

Starting point is 00:27:56 That's right. You know, you're not guaranteed to make a living, making art with AI coming online. You're not guaranteed to be able to be a doctor. That's right. That's just how the market works. And it's going to take a lot longer for them to replace plumbers with AI and robots. I'm not doing that. Yeah, they don't want to get them.

Starting point is 00:28:17 I guess, yeah, he wants to probably do new construction rather than unclogging toilets. Here I am, brain the size of a planet. Letting down her parents, she said, who worked hard to elevate her social and academic position, we need to not be celd captive to our degrees. I've known so many people and so many different professions that really hated what they were doing, but they felt captive to it. I spent so much time getting this degree and that's what I am and that's my identity. I can't stop and go do something else as I get over that.

Starting point is 00:28:53 We should all be open to doing something where we are valued. As a matter of fact, the old story about the rich father who gives his child a watch and says, you know, take it down to the pawn shop and take it to this place and that place, a jeweler. See how much they'll give you for it, you know. And I think of a couple hundred dollars or whatever. And then finally, it says, take it to the museum. They take it to the museum. Oh, this is very rare, very old.

Starting point is 00:29:18 We'll give you tens of thousands of dollars for it. And he says, you know, you want to understand that some people are not going to value what you have. Don't deal with those people. Find the person that values what you have that is unique. And that really applies to the work that we do as well. A Democrat bill could dismantle homeschooling freedoms in Connecticut. This is also from Lifesite News. Connecticut, interestingly enough, is one of the more free states right now.

Starting point is 00:29:49 and they're about to flip the switch and go exactly in the opposite direction. It's warning to all of us. We had a similar situation like this in the late 1980s and, or was it the early 1990s? I can't remember. And North Carolina, it's probably the 90s because we were already involved in the homeschooling stuff. And the Democrats and the teachers union wanted to ban homeschooling. The homeschoolers got together in this small group of homeschoolers, got very active writing letters. And so few people ever communicate with their elected representatives to say what they like and don't like that this number of people, a small number of people, they looked at that and thought there was a lot more behind.

Starting point is 00:30:32 And it's kind of like the stories that you hear about the Civil War where you, at the very beginning, you would have several cases of this where the Union Army would show up and had this massive army. And the Confederates on the other side only had a few people. They found a clearing where the other people could see them. and they started marching in a circle. And they thought there was this huge army that was on the other side. That's basically what we did with the homeschoolers writing letters to the elected representatives in North Carolina. And we beat the teachers union and the Democrats in that. And so that is where Connecticut is right now.

Starting point is 00:31:07 The Connecticut Education Committee voted 26 to 20 to advance a controversial legislation that would impose greater burdens on homeschooling moms and dads. It is titled innocently as a bill about, quote, equivalent instruction, but it would mandate curriculum review. It would essentially get your name turned into the local school district officials who, even though they have an interest in keeping your kid in school, would have to approve. So it would be basically not allowed unless you get express permission. They take a right and turn it into a privilege granted by the people who want to have an

Starting point is 00:31:45 on your child's education. And they would be empowered to withhold permission until the Department of Children and Families, what we typically call CPS, child protection services, confirms that there's no child abuse. So you're guilty until you prove that you're not abusing your child. You have to get your curriculum approved by them and on and on. You can see all the dangers in this, can't you? Advocates for the increased regulation site. several horrific examples of children who were removed from public school under the guise of

Starting point is 00:32:18 homeschooling then were hideously abused. You know, I can go through in any given state in any given month that I can find a charge of some teacher or somebody at that school, at a school in that jurisdiction that has abused a child. Sending your kid to school doesn't mean that they're not going to be abused by some teacher or administrator or anybody who's in that school. And so that happens everywhere, unfortunately. It's not something that is indicative of parents. It's more likely to happen with strangers that are there. And so it can happen anywhere. There's no guarantees. And if you love

Starting point is 00:33:01 your child, that's one of the reasons that you want to keep them away from these institutions where you don't know what's happening. But the institutions have now institutionalized the abuse. that's what all this transgender stuff is. It is institutionalized child abuse. You're going to play psychological games and gas like these kids, telling them that they're in the wrong body so that you can go sterilize them and mutilate them. Seriously?

Starting point is 00:33:26 It is institutionalized child abuse in most of these government schools, especially the ones that are being run by the blue states by the Democrats. And so homeschool legal defense association, they're your friends if you were homeschooling. They are on it and so this turns the whole idea of parental rights upside down. And that's the whole purpose of all this stuff, is to take away the whole idea of putting out children's rights. That was the UN idea, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The whole purpose of that was to take possession of the children so the village could raise the children and to terminate parental rights.

Starting point is 00:34:07 And we keep seeing that over and over again. where either you're talking about curriculum that's being taught, or you're talking about the transgender issues and other things. So critics warned the legislation could lead to mandated vaccinations as well as other heavy-handed state involvement. Public backlash against the bill has dwarfed support of it. About 42,000 people have filed witness slips opposing the bill. Only 1,000 have filed public support for it.

Starting point is 00:34:35 42 to 1 against. Will that work? I don't know. Now, here's one other thing you need to know about this. Also, I think it's worth pointing out that most of the people that tend to be obsessive about this kind of legislation, oh, we have to control your children. We have to know what you're doing with your kids. Very rarely have children themselves. This is continually the position espoused by these extremely liberal, single white women who have become teachers that feel that they have some kind of intrinsic right. to brainwash your children into what they believe. That's right. Well, there is also a coalition for responsible home education. And what this is, what they're trying to do is to eliminate home education.

Starting point is 00:35:20 Sounds like they're in support of it, but they're not. Same way that planned parenthood is about actually. It's not about parent. It's planned non-parenthood, yeah. This is also, folks, just to remember, this is being funded by the Ben and Jerry Foundation. So remember that when you're at the grocery store. about Ben and Jerry. And this is what the foundation says.

Starting point is 00:35:42 It is explicitly anti-Christian. It's a Christian fundamentalist in the United States have worked to enact their regressive ideas about gender and race by using homeschooling to isolate and to abuse their own children. Well, yes, I don't like what you call your progressive ideas about gender and race. And so, yeah, that we do homeschooling. to protect our kids from that.

Starting point is 00:36:10 But that's not abuse. Abuse is what you do psychologically and physically to kids. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device. Get the APS Radio app today and listen wherever you go. Well, I want to give you an update on the Valero Refinery Fire. We talked about that.

Starting point is 00:37:19 It was happening just as we were going on air the other day and Port Arthur, Texas. And so as we talked about, I said, well, not sure what this is. Is this a terrorist attack? Is it a false flag attack? Is it just the ordinary danger of operating in these refineries? Well, it turns out that it was C. It was ordinary dangers of operating these refineries. This is what they said.

Starting point is 00:37:40 They said the release of processed fluid and complex 2 led to an ignition event. That's what we call a fire. And significant damage to key units, including the diesel, hydrogen. treater and fluid catalytic cracker. The fire sent black smoke into the sky and caused shockwaves that were felt from miles away. There were, however, no injuries, no fatalities. All 770 employees were accounted for. The fires were extinguished and the roads were opened early the next day and it took a little bit longer for them to give the all clear on the air pollution, but that is over with now as well. So we're glad to see that that wasn't an attack of any

Starting point is 00:38:23 kind. Meanwhile, we have, I talked about this the other day, how we had the manipulation of the marketplace by Donald Trump and how he, you know, just a couple of minutes before he makes his announcement, oh, we're not going to set the Middle East on fire in a few hours. Instead, we're going to give them another five days because we've got great talks that are going on right now that appears to be not true, according to the Iranians. So they say, well, I'm not talking. I don't know who he's talking to. And Trump just a couple of days before said, I don't even know who to talk to. You know, we killed everybody. That was any kind of leadership position that we could identify. So we don't know who to talk to. But now he says that he's been having talks of people.

Starting point is 00:39:05 And yet some people who are there still say that's not happening. Nevertheless, there's been yet another, in that particular case, they had one and a half billion dollars bet that was on the Dow in terms of betting that stock market was going to go up. And another, $192 million bet on oil markets, betting that they were going to go down. And, of course, that did happen as soon as people saw something of a little bit of hope. The market reacts immediately, right? And so now we've got another betting that is going on. This is on Polly Market.

Starting point is 00:39:39 And you've got Polly Market accounts that are making suspicious bets on a ceasefire in Iran. Well, I hope they do have some insight information. I hope that does happen. So the difference is that you've got polymarket, which is not based in the United States, and so people can manipulate it. And it's not, the law can't reach them on this. And there's been several instances of this as well. When you had the kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela, that was predicted with a fairly large bet,

Starting point is 00:40:14 it was several hundred thousand dollars. And somebody placed that bet right before. it happened. Can I just say how lame the future is, you know, back in the 1950s? They're like, we're going to have flying cars. We're going to have jet packs. Well, we don't have that, but you can gamble on whether the U.S. is going to invade a country. You can gamble on whether we'll assassinate another world leader. So that's something, I suppose. It's the height of corruption. But what else would we expect when we got a failed casino owner for a president, that people are gambling on wars. You might as well double down on your vices, you know. If you

Starting point is 00:40:49 like murder, you might as well gamble on the murder as well, I guess. That's right. Well, somebody's making a lot of money off of this stuff. Let me tell you, put down a one and a half billion dollar bet the stock market's going to go up. And of course, it's going to go up when he puts out news that it's going to be perceived as good. Now, of course, a bet that size means either it's someone with so much money that a billion dollars is nothing to them. And there's very few people of those like that in the world. Or they have some serious inside information on what's going on. I seriously doubt people just throw a billion dollars away on a, who knows, maybe, could be.

Starting point is 00:41:21 I'd say it's all of the above, right? But you can bet the cash patel and this corrupt FBI is not going to do any investigations on this. I mean, they went after Martha Stewart for insider trading, and she didn't do insider trading. She went to jail because they caught her on a perjury trap as part of that process. But she wasn't doing insider trading. These people are doing insider trading. And so there is another one of these marketplaces that does this kind of trading.

Starting point is 00:41:47 That's Kalshi. and they are based in the United States. And they just busted a guy who was a producer for Mr. Beast because he was doing some insider trading. So they busted him. They fined him, took money from him, and they reported him to the federal government. But that's not the case with polymarket. And so the vast majority of polymarket users are wagering that a ceasefire will not happen by March the 31st. only 17% are voting yes on that.

Starting point is 00:42:19 $22 million has been wagered on either outcome of the prediction. Most of them think that the war is going to continue, and they wagered that it will be the big yes rises to 76% if they talk about a ceasefire by the end of this year. But for the end of this month, there's only 17% of the people. And so big bet has been put on that, like we saw before. And as I talked about yesterday, the corruption truly is amazing that we see.

Starting point is 00:42:52 Here's a report that somebody else did on the corruption that we saw played on the marketplace, the stock market and the commodity market for oil. But here's the curious thing, and here's kind of where the mystery is. I want to kind of zoom in on this area here. So I'll kind of zoom in so you can see this is just the volumes of people going into that oil market and for the most part selling after that Donald Trump post. see, there's this real spike in activity. A lot of people going in there, kind of this frenzy, and that's the kind of flip side of prices. But look at this. Fifteen minutes before that Donald

Starting point is 00:43:29 Trump Post, there was a very big amount of trading volume. Very big. In fact, actually, when you're looking at that amount of volume, that spike, that was the biggest trading volume that we saw that day. We're starting here just at 8 o'clock. And the morning we're going through to that moment of the Donald Trump post. Relatively quiet, volumes, not much going on in the market, and then all of a sudden, that. And if you're wondering, okay, maybe this was just a one-off, it was someone who made a lucky bet. Have a look not just at this. So this is W5, one measure, the US measure of oil.

Starting point is 00:44:03 Have a look at Brent, which is the kind of the European, seen as the international measure of oil. Again, the same thing. Donald Trump makes his post. Flurry of activity. Lots of people there. But look at that. Again, 15 minutes before that Donald Trump post a very big trade. Both of the oil markets.

Starting point is 00:44:23 Whether it's just an individual or whether it's a kind of group of people. And then do the side market. That was even bigger. Imputing what the potential value, the notional value of those trades just on oil would be. It is staggering amounts of money, life-changing amounts of money. $580 million. dollars. Someone has just made a real killing on this. And it's not just oil. So that oil... Yeah. And so this article here about what's happening on Polly Market and when there's going to be a ceasefire declared, that is a $70,000 bet.

Starting point is 00:45:00 But in the oil market, somebody made $192 million. And then on the stock market, they made a one and a half billion bet. I think we have to understand that we're dealing with Hunter Biden levels of corruption now in the Trump White House. Let me explain why. You put the oil trade up there. There was a bet that the price of oil would tank. That was a bet of about $150 million. Another bet was placed that the market would lift, in other words, rise dramatically. that was a $1.5 billion bet.

Starting point is 00:45:42 Now, whenever you bet in the market, which is effectively what it's about, it's a big casino. You know, for those who are only in it, it's a casino where Trump is finally winning. As opposed to others that draw income from it over time. What we need to understand is that you bet less on the downside and bet more on the upside.

Starting point is 00:46:03 So the $150 million bet paid off because somebody within three, or four minutes of President Trump's announcement knew what President Trump was going to announce. The same thing was true for the $1.05 billion bet that you've got up there now. Both of these bets paid off handsomely. Now, who in the White House could possibly have known? And who in the White House has access to that kind of capital that could have a stupendous impact on profits? Well, I'll let everybody in the House.

Starting point is 00:46:38 audience sort of sink let that sink in think about it and understand that's not going to be investigating this normal setting where this to happen i would say 50 years ago a hundred years ago maybe maybe even 30 years ago the attorney general would have be sitting at his desk or her desk and receive a note saying we have witnessed this unnatural market behavior that's resulting in mega profits and it all seems to come right before the president makes an announcement. We feel this justifies an investigation. Well, I don't think with Pam Bondi in there, there's any chance of that investigation happening on the executive side. Now then the question is, well, what about Congress? Will someone in Congress stand up and say, look at this. This is outrageous.

Starting point is 00:47:28 Maybe, but it's unlikely that it will gain much traction because the population of people that sit on the hill in Congress are busy with insider trading. In other words, everyone in Washington is profiting one way or another from the disasters that are unfolding in front of us on the hill in the Middle East and here at home. So I really, really want the MAGA crowd to pay attention to this because they've been taken in badly by this president, misused, abused, and exploited. They need to wake up and understand the kind of, Hunter Biden level of corruption that they're dealing with in the Trump White House.

Starting point is 00:48:10 It's absolutely right. And of course, yeah, don't hold your breath. Pam Bondi's not going to do it. Cash Patel's not going to do it. Dan Bonj, you know what, do it if he was there. They're not going to investigate Epstein. They're not going to investigate this stuff. And by the way, they didn't investigate who made all of those big financial bets on Wall Street and won about 9-11. Remember that? We talk about profiting from the death of Americans. That was huge. And yet, Trump says we're winning, I guess, winner, winner, chicken dinner, right? For a ceasefire. Hopefully you're calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East and to reopen

Starting point is 00:48:44 dialogue. Well, look, we can have dialogue, but we don't want to do a ceasefire. You know, you don't do a ceasefire when you're literally literate. Remember this if he does it by March 31st. They don't have an Air Force. They don't have any equipment to, they don't have any spotters. They don't have anti-aircraft. So why do you attack them? They never had it. They've all been killed at every level. We're not looking to do that. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:49:10 The bottom line is they never had an Air Force, except with a Shaw, never had a Navy. They never had a Navy. They weren't projecting power that could threaten us. So why did you attack them, right? Well, we got a former MI6. This guy was, I forget what his, title was there, but he was with MI6. He was asked who's winning. He has a very different opinion than Trump. Who has the upper hand right now? Iran. Former chief of MI6. I regret having come to this

Starting point is 00:49:46 conclusion because like many MI6 officers of my generation, we face the violence and brutality of the IRGC for most of our careers. That's the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Yeah. So there is no lost between us and I shed no tears for Ali Khamenei who was killed at the beginning of this war. But the reality is the US underestimated the task and I think as of about two weeks ago lost the initiative to Iran. In practice, the Iranian regime has been more resilient than I think anyone would have expected. They took some good decisions actually as early as last June about dispersing their military capability and delegating the authority for the use of those weapons, which has given them significant extra resilience against this incredibly powerful

Starting point is 00:50:39 air campaign. They have embarked on what's technically called horizontal escalation, i.e. firing rockets at anybody within range, which at the time, honestly, Shoshank I thought was nuts, but in fact, has been a very good way of putting in direct price on the US. Sort of worked. then they've understood the significance of the energy war and held the straits at threat and globalised and essentially not internationalised, just globalised the conflict in a way that gives them some weapons. So, you know, they've played a weak hand pretty well. My second point is that Donald Trump has said some stuff that will have confirmed something they knew already, which is that they're in a civilizational war in their terms. They're in a war of existence. Donald

Starting point is 00:51:25 Trump made it very clear that he wanted to see them up against the wall, basically, whereas America has embarked on a world of choice. Not to mention war, Pete. Want to tell everybody. In those terms, I think that's imbued them with more stating power than their U.S. and certainly U.S. counterparts. That's right. You attack people in a war of aggression. I think that really is giving them the whip hand.

Starting point is 00:51:45 You attack people in a war of aggression, you tell them that they're in an existential fight. We're going to try to wipe you off of the map. What do you expect them to do? They're not stupid. and you're given them all the motivation that they could possibly have. As a matter of fact, you've given them motivation to run to the existing regime that you said you wanted to change. You've given them motivation to get behind that regime,

Starting point is 00:52:08 killing and destroying in a much greater extent than even the evil regime that was there before. And so, as Trump is saying, well, there's nobody to talk to over the weekend. And then somehow he figured out he found some people to talk to. He said, this is why the former editor of the Wall Street Journal said he's become Baghdad Bob. He said it's sad to say, but the Iranians are more credible than our own government. That's the first time we've seen that. He said in my lifetime. But it is quite evident that Trump is lying.

Starting point is 00:52:41 He doesn't even try to come up with any plausible lies. This is the same type of stuff that we saw in Minnesota, the same kind of stuff that we heard from him as well as from Kristy Nome. while they were stuck in the snow and all this, after everybody had seen the video except them. They had so little interest in their conduct and the conduct of their agents. They didn't even bother to look at the video. They had such contempt for our intelligence, such contempt for the truth. They'd just make up a story. And they don't even make their stories consistent with each other because they think we're so stupid.

Starting point is 00:53:17 We don't understand what's going on. Well, on March the 9th, Trump announced that the war was winding down. I don't see anybody other than Donald Trump and War Pete. Nobody else outside of that actual regime, except for Ben Shapiro saying that we're winning the war. Everybody else says that this is a war that's going to be lost. It's going to be lost, and I think the regime change we're going to get is Trump. And it's nothing that I rejoice about. I mean, I don't want to see the Iranians winning, and I don't want to see the Democrats winning.

Starting point is 00:53:53 But when you look at Trump and these other, it's just they keep getting us involved in one war after the other. It's one thing after the end of that movie. One battle after the other. So that's what the Trump regime has been. And now with this asymmetric warfare that they're doing, it's an asymmetric economic warfare. And it's going to have the entire globe hating America because they all. hate Trump, even more so than the tariffs. And so that is what we're looking at here. And when Trump comes out and says, they don't have an Air Force left, they can't launch missiles anything. And then

Starting point is 00:54:29 they launch a large missile strike that is very accurate. You know, they took out that radar facility. They took that out with one missile. That was over a billion dollars. And it was a central point of this distributed radar system that they have for their anti-ballistic missiles. And, you know, they have this massive radar system there that detects the missiles on launch, calculates their trajectory to try to intercept them. And, of course, the Iranians were able to take out several of those installations, but primarily that one that had cost a billion dollars, and it was central to the, the entire radar scheme that was there.

Starting point is 00:55:16 And it's, you know, what they have done is strategic. What we've done is we go in and we start bombing schools and stuff because what is our strategy? Let's bomb the most number of places that we can. And it was actually, I think it was General McGregor, or Colonel McGregor, I think it was Colonel McGregor who said that they, or maybe it was, maybe it was somebody else, they were talking about the targeting and the fact that the Air Force wanted to make it look like they could win wars just from the air.

Starting point is 00:55:53 And so he said, when we went around, we actually evaluated. No, I don't think it was McGregor. I think it was Scott Ritter, who said it because he was the one who was going around targeting and evaluating targets. He said, when he went around evaluating the targets, he said, we report it back to them, it's like, you're not hitting anything. out here. And that got them really upset. And the Air Force ejected him out of the country. He said, so what they came up with was they came up with a percentage. They said, well, we're going

Starting point is 00:56:18 to assume that we're hitting X percentage of the, you know, all the bombing that we're doing about X percentage of it is hitting something. And so we just do more bombing and we hit more targets, right? That's the calculation. So they just applied that percentage to everything. So just, you know, take it up to a thousand bombs and, you know, now we've hit 800 targets or something like that. And he said that simply isn't true. So from the moment this war was kicked off, the Trump administration has been inconsistent in its messaging. I've seen this from a lot of different sources. Just call it what it is.

Starting point is 00:56:55 A lie. If you're not consistent with what's happening, you're lying to people. And if you're constantly changing your story, that is the hallmark of a lie. Well, this is the summary from the New American. They said, for years, the president has communicated every day at all hours of the day, it seems, through social media. Perhaps the missed signals emanating from the White House are the manifestations of an impulsive and sometimes confused president, trying to figure out in real time how to deal with this war. Whether he's trying to calm the markets, restore trust in his plan, which he doesn't have,

Starting point is 00:57:33 or shame European allies into helping out. Maybe what we're seeing is the leader of the world, quote unquote, feeling his way around in his first major war. That's a very charitable way to put it. You know, maybe this guy, he just doesn't know what he's doing or, you know, trust the plan, what plan? Tell me what the plan is, right? They never had a plan.

Starting point is 00:57:58 The plan was to get you to trust them. That was the plan. Trust was the plan. And while they're talking about, this guy who is feeling his way around trying to figure out what's going on, that literally is folks the blind leading the blind. And speaking of somebody who is absolutely blind to the way that he has perceived, Lindsey Graham and his pushing of this essentially suicidal attack on Karg Island. And Ted Cruz wants to get involved in it as well for Israel.

Starting point is 00:58:26 He wants to show how loyal he is to Israel. So Ted Cruz had an interview and he said, I'm the one who told Trump to attack Iran. He's going to throw himself there for the Zionists, even though we had Rubio threw the grenade in and said, yeah, we did this war because Israel wanted to do the war. And so they kind of pushed us into this because we couldn't say no to them. I mean, you could say no to them.

Starting point is 00:58:51 And so Ted Cruz comes in and throws himself on that hand grenade that Rubio unleashed when they went in there. So, you know, American says, the deranged war fantasies. That's a good way to put it of what Lindsay Graham is doing. The deranged war fantasies of Israel First GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. My money is always on the Marines. Maybe he's the inside guy who's putting his money in polymarket as well as Brent Crude and the Dow Jones futures, right? Who knows? It could be any of these guys. Ted Cruz said that he was alone with Trump the day before the attack. So they flew with them and then rode with him in the presidential limo that they call the beast. I would say, I wonder if that is, they kind of owned themselves by calling it

Starting point is 00:59:44 the beast, didn't they? I wonder if it's got a mark on it. The mark of the beast. That's right there. So Nancy Mace, who is also in South Carolina, came after Lindsey Graham. She said, he needs to be removed from the situation room. I don't want to hear one word from a guy who has no kids who's desperately sending our sons and daughters into war on the ground in Iran. Oh, by the way, I don't want to hear one word from Trump or Beebe either because they don't send their kids into the war, right? You got Netanyahu's kid is setting in Miami, living it up, and Trump's baron is doing

Starting point is 01:00:23 who knows what and Ivy League schools. Lindsey Graham has one foreign policy Send somebody else's kids to war He was wrong about Iraq He was wrong about Afghanistan Now he's wrong about Iran That was Nancy Mays saying that Lindsay Graham wants American troops on the ground in Iran

Starting point is 01:00:44 Not his kids, yours Not for freedom but for the price of oil Unless he is suiting up for Karg Island himself He should sit down Senator Graham why don't you deploy to Iran yourself if you're so eager to send everybody else over there. Yeah, get in the front line. You love war, go do it.

Starting point is 01:01:03 You and Sean Hannity. Graham isn't the only senator who pushed for Americans to die for oil in Israel, so did Ted Cruz. And he boasted about it. I urged the president to launch this attack. I was with him pretty much the entire day on Friday before the attack launched on Saturday. This is a guy who seems to have absolutely no political discernment, no biblical discernment either.

Starting point is 01:01:26 You saw that in the interview that he had with Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson just skinned him alive, showed his ignorance, flayed his ignorance to the world. He said, when asked, he said, do you think we should negotiate with Iran? He says, well, I don't believe they're negotiating in good faith. They're liars. I think we were the ones who were not negotiating in good faith. I think we're the ones who engaged in treachery, the legal terms of the law. term is perfidy. We were not engaging, negotiating in good faith.

Starting point is 01:02:00 Anyway, during his interview with Carlson, Cruz revealed he didn't even know any basic facts about Iran. How many people will live in Iran, by the way, Carlson asked, well, I don't know the population. Carlson said at all, he said, no, I don't know the population. If you don't know the population in the country, you seek to topple. And of course, the other thing he doesn't know anything about is, it's not anything about the topography either, which is maybe even more relevant. They got 92 million people with places like a natural fortress. You don't know any of that. And by the way, you don't know who the leadership is either. And you don't know how they have structured this in terms of they knew they were going to have a decapitation strike.

Starting point is 01:02:41 You don't know how they structured any of that. You had absolutely no intelligence. And I mean that from the IQ standpoint, not just information. He had no intelligence at all going into this war. and that's what we have right now. We got the blind leading the blind. He doesn't know the territory. That's right. Go watch the music man. He got to know the territory.

Starting point is 01:03:01 He got another territory. Ignorant and arrogant. No idea of population size. No idea of the land area size. No idea of the topography. No idea of the government or military structure. They did not know who or what they were fighting, quite obviously. Well, Reuters is coming out and saying that Trump approved the strikes after speaking

Starting point is 01:03:21 with Netanyahu. Sorry, Teddy. You can't be the number one Zionist. That goes to Netanyahu. So, Trump blames Heggseth for the war. He says, Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, let's do it. Well, you know, it is, I think, what does it tell you about Ted Cruz?

Starting point is 01:03:41 He'd be so devoted to Zionism that he would put his neck in the noose on this losing effort of this war. I did that. I did that. You know, maybe they'll give them a place to live along with the pedophiles that they give asylum to in Israel. Who knows? But when we look at one Israeli and said, maybe this is what Netanyahu is after. Natanyahu might be looking at this and saying, You know what?

Starting point is 01:04:14 Maybe we're losing America. Maybe this is irreversible. And maybe I also recognize that America is. is not the America it used to be. America will not reassert primacy. We are headed to multipolarity. So you know what? As Israel, what I need to do is squeeze as much out of this America while I still can. So if I drag America into a war that's going to be really costly for them that might accelerate the loss of our support and also accelerate American decline, well, if that war can fundamentally reshape the region and can help entrench my country's domination.

Starting point is 01:04:51 then to hell with the consequences for America, this is worth it for us. And I just wonder whether that's in any way part of the calculation. Yeah, that's right, the Machiavellian industrial complex. You know, the guy who, you think he'd be capable of doing that, the guy who thinks that Gingus Kong is greater than Jesus Christ. And he says, well, the good guys lose. It's the evil guys who are going to win, right? It's the evil people who are smart.

Starting point is 01:05:15 Let's go with them. Netanyahu determined to move forward with an operation that he has urged for decades, arguing that there might not ever be a better chance to kill Khameney and to avenge previous Iranian efforts to assassinate Trump. Yeah, this is, I will never have a greater fool in office. We'll never have a better tool in office than Trump. Let's make sure we don't lose this advantage. And I think that's the real issue.

Starting point is 01:05:43 Netanyahu going time and time again to the White House and saying, yeah, you've got to get even. they tried to kill you. That's Netanyahu is pushing that out. And of course, Joe Kent spoke to that as well and shot that down. Tucker is actually correct here, said Ken Silva. Attempts to blame Iran for the 2024 actual attempts on Trump's life have largely come from Israel. B.B. and his proxies like Mike Waltz. There are no IRGC assassins indicted. The FBI arrested some Pakistani guy and burned an informer in Iran, but they don't have any evidence of this. And so, but that's Netanyahu tells them that it is a done deal.

Starting point is 01:06:28 Well, there was an AI satire, quite frankly, of the Iran wars, the movie. And this AI satire, they put all these different well-known actors. Now, the voices haven't changed, but you'll recognize the people in it. It's a pretty good summary of this pathetic movie so far. Sir, they're about to go nuclear. How long do we have? Liam Nissan knows Donald Trump. They're two weeks away.

Starting point is 01:07:03 How two weeks away are they? Even more two weeks away than they were five years ago. My God! That's dangerous levels of two weeks away. I know. Some, if anything happens to me, continue my work. We're only two weeks away. I will continue, it shall I.

Starting point is 01:07:29 Now I'll go to where no one can find me. My office on the third floor, right by that really big window. Venge! Sir, they will close the strait of Hormuz. They don't have the balls to close the strait of Hormuz. They just close the straight of Hormuz. And oil is now over $100. barrel.

Starting point is 01:07:57 Please keep me out of this. No one likes this war. And I want to be present one day. There's push-up teeth. Tankers being more than my missiles. Come on. Send a boat or something. You're the most powerful military.

Starting point is 01:08:28 I like those. Kier's armor playing by a woman. That was a test. Ha! You fell right into my trap. At times the best reason for war is no reason at all. Iran War, the movie. Straight out of Hormuz is what they called it.

Starting point is 01:09:08 Reporter says, if the war is ending as you claim to Donald Trump, do you still need $200 billion? Well, it's always nice to have, isn't it, said Trump. I see what he came back with it. It's always nice to have $200 billion. That's what Americans would say when we see our tax bill. Yeah, 20% more than their record budget, where they broke a trillion dollars for the first time, then immediately they come back and they need another 20%. It's a very inflamed world, he said, and Democrats inflame it, yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:39 It changes the subject. That's Chris Minahan of Information Liberation, tweeted that out. New York Times is now reporting that Trump is actively weighing whether to use U.S. Airborne troops to seize Karg Island in a bloody suicide mission. Well, people who were with Trump in his first administration are speaking out, people like Mad Dog Mattis, Jim Mattis, General Mattis. You know, it's pretty pathetic when somebody like Mad Dog Mattis

Starting point is 01:10:10 starts looking like the sane person in the room compared to War Pete, isn't it? What he had to say was he said, in a jaw-dropping reality check, Donald Trump's own former defense secretary, just boo the whistle on the chaos unfolding in this reckless war. He says it's worse than anyone thought. Jim Mattis didn't sugar-coded. He said America's in a tough spot with not a lot of options. This war has spiraled into a strategic nightmare with no clear path forward.

Starting point is 01:10:40 Even more alarming, he warned that if Trump abruptly ends the conflict now, it could hand control the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most critical oil checkpoints on Earth, straight to Iran, again, where 20% of the world's oil flows through that. The result, a potential global economic chokehold where Iran could effectively tax international shipping and send prices skyrocketing. You know, there's another thing, and I want to talk to Gerald about this when he joins us. Do we have him yet, Travis? But what they're trying to do, Iran actually said, well, we'll let ships from China and another place say, yeah, we'll let them through. But

Starting point is 01:11:21 the he said, if you pay in Chinese Yuan, we'll let you through. Iran is actually trying to set up a Chinese counter to the US Petro dollar, which has already failed a year or so ago. But they're trying to set up the Chinese currency now as the currency of trading in oil. So it's even bigger than the Strait of Hormuz. Now, these guys if Trump is playing checkers, they're playing 40 chess.

Starting point is 01:11:51 Anyway, Trump launched a massive military escalation with no clear objective. Now he's pausing strikes after weeks of destruction. His own former Pentagon chief is admitting that there is no good outcome. He said, that's not strength. That's reckless improvisation with global consequences. Meanwhile, oil prices are swinging wildly, spiking near $120 a barrel before dropping again. Even after all the bombs dropped, Mattis says, it hasn't achieved any meaningful strategic gains. None.

Starting point is 01:12:21 That's the same thing that General McGregor said, as a matter of fact. In the meantime, the Iranians who always knew this was coming, just as I said it, many other people said it, had spent the last 20 years putting together a way to survive it. And that has been their goal to survive the inevitable onslaught of American military power. And they've done it. And not only have they survived it, but they've managed to strengthen. back very decisively against their opponents. And they have punished everyone and anyone who worked with,

Starting point is 01:12:53 supported or cooperated with the United States and Israel. So right now, the Iranians, despite all the damage that they've taken, and they have taken substantial damage inside their country, is actually in a very strong position. We, on the other hand, that have made all these strident, ill-advised demands and silly remarks are sitting around trying to figure out what we are going to do next. We boast about destroying the Iranian Air Force. Well, the Iranians have not had an Air Force to speak of since the Shah left, just as insignificant.

Starting point is 01:13:27 And as far as the Navy is concerned, well, we sank the seven frigates that were the backbone of the Navy. We're dealing with small boats. And we seem to think that that's a significant achievement. And I was listening to General Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, read from what sounded like a spreadsheet. sheet from an accountant and tell us about all the sorties that have been flown and all the thousands of places we've struck and dropped bombs as though this was a metric for success. We've learned nothing since 1965. We went through this in Vietnam. I remember as a young man listening in 1969, 7071, to similar officers in uniform stand there and tell us, well,

Starting point is 01:14:12 today we flew this many sorties and we dropped these many bombs. and this much tonnage. And the entire time we were doing this, we were losing the war. Nobody seemed to understand that until it was too late. I think now we are genuinely in a state of confusion. And I think that President Trump, as you point out, very definitely is looking for an offer him. The problem is no one's going to give it to it.

Starting point is 01:14:36 He can't get it. And the Iranians are in no hurry to end this because they are winning. Yeah. You saw the same thing from General Mattis. Retired General Mattis is here from retired Colonel McGregor. What Mattis is saying, no victory, no stability, no plan, just more uncertainty, higher costs, and a world pushed closer to war. Retired General McMaster, essentially he was talking about World War III.

Starting point is 01:15:05 He said, we've got the U.S. government engaging Chinese and Russian ships in the Caspian Sea. He didn't even mention, I think, what is brewing in Cuba. We don't have a Cuban missile crisis, but we've got a Cuban oil crisis. There's a Russian tanker that appears to be ready to try to run the blockade of American ships, trying to keep energy away from Cuba. There's no end to the insanity of this administration. The Trump regime is trying single-handedly to push us into global depression and world war. General, isn't Iran's potential control of the state of hormon?

Starting point is 01:15:43 Moons? Wasn't that the most obvious card they had to play here? Why is it that it seems that the U.S. was not prepared for this? Well, Edron, we actually were prepared for it. I don't know where this narrative came out. It was a big surprise. I mean, you know, we do an annual exercise with up to 30 countries and about the closure of the state straight and Formoos and how to reopen it. And so what you're seeing in the campaign now, and I think this is really important to understand, is a continuation of the joint, you know, the combined force of the U.S. Israel prioritizing the missile and the drone capabilities, including their manufacturing capabilities, including their ability to reconstitute their missiles and drones with support from Russia and China. There are a couple of ships sailing right now with solid fuel from China.

Starting point is 01:16:30 I don't think they're going to make it to Iran. And you saw the IDF in the last 24-48 hours striking ships in the Caspian Sea in the far north of Iran because Russia was smuggling drones into Iran. to reconstitute their capabilities. Yeah, so it's happening everywhere. Meanwhile, Trump is out there pretending that he's talking to Iran. This thing we don't know what you're talking about. This is, I've got to stop because we've got Gerald on the line.

Starting point is 01:16:57 I really want to talk to Gerald, but I wanted to show you this cartoon. This is, it's a cartoon. Trump is on the couch at the psychiatrist's office. And he says, these Iranians that you've been talking to for two days, are they in the room with us now? This is the craziest war, but people are dying and the economy is dying. And we're going to talk to Gerald Salinty about that. We're going to take a quick break and he'll be right back.

Starting point is 01:17:24 But before we do real quickly, let me think Wally Waller, us, thank you very much for the tip. He says, my 22-year-old son went to MEPS yesterday and is choosing his MOS here in the next few days against my better advice. I'm not sure what those acronyms are, but I'm guessing that that is military service related. And I'm sorry to hear that. So again, we'll pray that he is okay with that. But we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Stay with us. You're listening to the David Night Show.

Starting point is 01:20:24 Yeah. Dead. Yeah. Yeah. As a matter of fact, I was just going through some of the articles here. Alex Springer agrees to 570

Starting point is 01:20:34 million pound takeover a telegraph. Media group Axel Springer has agreed to buy telegraph, blah, blah, blah, blah for the $5.75 million in an unexpected move and they go on to say that the guy that's buying this thing

Starting point is 01:20:51 is D-O-P-H-D-O-P-H D-O-P-F-N-E-R. Now, this is, the telegraph is a big newspaper in the UK. You're ready? At the end of the article over here, it says, this Daphne is saying, quote,

Starting point is 01:21:14 we support the right of existence of the state of Israel and oppose all forms of anti-Semitism. Yeah, right. It's anti-Semitism if you don't support Benjamin Netanyahu. That's right. Hey, Daphne, come over here and you tell me that I'm an anti-Semite because I'm against genocide. I'm against the slaughter of, oh, according to Lancet,

Starting point is 01:21:41 over 100,000 Palestinian people in Gaza. You got the nerve to call. Hey, that's to you. This is Axel Springer. This is the biggest news agency in Germany that now is controlling the UK. All right? That's right. Oh, who just bought up a CBS?

Starting point is 01:22:05 Yeah, it was Ellison, Ellison family. Pro-Zionist, huh? Yeah. Not my language, theirs. Yeah. Who would they bring into on the show? Barry Weiss. Pro-Zionist.

Starting point is 01:22:19 Yeah. Hey, do you hear the crap spewing out of headsets mouth? Our defense secretary. Oh, you mean a little clown boy that played a jerk on Fox? before he got this job. Now he plays a jerk at the Pentagon, yeah. Yeah. And what did he say?

Starting point is 01:22:35 Oh, he's happy. That Ellison, they may take over CNN. Yeah. Right? So anyway, we're giving people with the not getting anywhere else. And I'm mentioning this because, again, when this is a T-shirt I did,

Starting point is 01:22:50 when Bill Clinton ran for office back in 1992, he deregulation. the Federal Communications Act in 1996. There were thousands of independent radio stations, newspapers, magazines, TV stations, on and on. Now six companies control 92% in the media. Yeah, yeah. And we're going to wind up with one giant media ring to rule them all.

Starting point is 01:23:22 Yep. Run by Sauron. Yeah, that's right. They're consolidating everything. We're only going to have one. I remember a few years ago, we're talking about, look at this. We've got about a half dozen media companies now.

Starting point is 01:23:31 Well, those half dozen media companies have been consolidating more and more. We're going to wind up literally with just one media company. That's going to be the Ministry of Truth. Yeah. So now going back to gold, this is where you trends journal economic update. And we go on to say, this is before, this is the day that Trump gave his state of the Union address. We had forecast in the magazine that by the weekend, he would attack Iran.

Starting point is 01:24:12 I did a podcast of Judge Napolitano. Trump does this on a Tuesday on a Wednesday I do a podcast. There's one coming up tonight with a judge. I say he's going to attack this weekend. Anyway, we go on to say that later on, we go on to say, on the gold side, as a result of the U.S. Israel attack in Iran over the weekend, gold has spike. Remember, they attack them on February 28th. Saturday.

Starting point is 01:24:44 Now, this is Monday. Saturday, and you've been saying for months it'll start, even before you got more specific about that particular Saturday, you've been saying it'll happen on a Saturday because they want to do it when the markets are closed. Right. That's when they did it in June, and that's when he invaded, Venezuela, which everybody forgot about and kidnapped the president and his wife. Anyway, gold had spiked to $5,400 an ounce on Monday. But then, with a blink of an eye, when the equity markets opened in the U.S., prices fell some $200 an ounce, right like that.

Starting point is 01:25:23 Yeah, that's right. Okay. Now, let's go back to what just happened. when B.S. Trump last Saturday said, I'm giving them 48 hours, 48 hours. And if they don't do what I tell them to do, we're going to borrow it. Right?

Starting point is 01:25:49 Right? Right. And set the Middle East on fire as well, because they promised that they would attack all the other infrastructure as well of all the other countries that there. So he was basically saying 48 hours before we set the Middle East on fire. And then what happens on Monday? Hey, hey, I'm talking to them.

Starting point is 01:26:06 I'm talking to them. We got a deal. Let's make a deal. I'll preface. All right. It's the presidential reality show. It is. I'm just doing a TV show.

Starting point is 01:26:17 So you listen to me. We've got a deal going on with them. Oil prices fell 11%. Yeah. And what happened? A couple of minutes before he did it? It's all the data's there. That's right.

Starting point is 01:26:33 Oh, the Trump teams, they don't know who did it. They bet what, a half a billion dollars? Well, I'm sure Cash Patel and Pam Bondi are going to find out who did it and prosecute them, don't you think? Oh, yeah, of course. It's rigged. Yeah. Now, to make it a thousand percent clear how the bankster, gangster, oh, by the way,

Starting point is 01:26:57 what happened to the Epstein stuff? Yeah. I forgot about that. All right. Yeah, who says crime. doesn't pay. Yeah. You ready?

Starting point is 01:27:07 Why did gold prices and silver dive? And here's what you wrote. Once upon a time, not too long ago, J.P. Morgan Chase was fined for rigging the precious

Starting point is 01:27:21 metals markets. Here is what Reuters reported. So it's not out of my mouth. We wanted to put the clear from mainstream. J.P. Morgan, this is September 29th, 2020. J.P. Morgan Chase and Company has agreed to pay more than $920 million and admitted to wrongdoing

Starting point is 01:27:44 to settle federal prob into its trading of metal futures. They go on to say that the bank for several years and marks a significant victory for the government's effort to clamp down on the illegal trading in the futures and precious metals market. They were rigging it. Oh, yeah. Hey, I'm Jamie Diamond. I'm some arrogant piece of scum.

Starting point is 01:28:16 We can get $5.920 million. I don't go to jail. Right. Hey, pull over. Your back light was off. Get out of your car. Stand on your head. Repeat the alphabet backwards.

Starting point is 01:28:30 Do you have anything to drink? you're going to jail. All right? Yeah. I might kill you. You should be the fullest. For we the people of Slavelandia like scumbags, like pieces of,

Starting point is 01:28:43 like criminals that rigged a precious metals market. Hey, take it easy, Salenti. I think we only got fined for what? Five felonies, J.P. Morgan Chase? That's right. Yeah. When you look at this, yeah. The House always wins with a casino, right?

Starting point is 01:29:03 Except when it's Trump's casinos and they go bankrupt. But the House always wins when it's Trump's White House because they can rig the markets. Again, it's not only Trump, it's one after another. Yeah, that's right. Oh, what did you forget about Hunter Biden? Yeah. A little Coke addict, drug deep, screwed up little piece of scum. Hey, I'm on the Board of Directors of Burisma Energy in Ukraine right after we over to the government.

Starting point is 01:29:26 They're right. That's right. Oh, and who else got on that? Oh, Christopher Hines. Who? You mean the Heinz, 57? Oh, yeah. You mean the stepson-in-law of Carrie, the clown boy?

Starting point is 01:29:43 Yeah. You remember him? Oh, yeah, Lurch. Yeah. John Kerry. Yeah, John Kerry. Another little arrogant piece of scum. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:29:54 And, you know, people are, by the way, I'm getting blacklisted and all people say, calm down, Sir Lentie. We don't like your language. And you get so angry. Oh, yeah. You wouldn't be angry if you're a Lebanese and a million of you got thrown out of your homes. Oh, you'd be very happy.

Starting point is 01:30:15 Don't be angry. Oh, you only killed over a thousand innocent people. Yeah. Don't get angry. Yeah. That's right. You need a. We got a clown.

Starting point is 01:30:29 An arrogant lying clown playing presidential reality show telling 343 million people what to do. I'm the president. You do what I tell you. Oh, I forgot. Remember the COVID war? Hey, I'm Andy Cuomo. My daddy was the governor before me. Close down your business.

Starting point is 01:30:51 Get back in your house. We got the COVID war to fight. Yeah, that's right. Remember that? That's right. That's right. politician after another telling people what to do and all the gutless people follow their leader. We're still in kindergarten.

Starting point is 01:31:08 That's right. That's right. Do what I tell you, I'm your teacher. Time to take a nap. I'm not tired. Time to take a nap. That's right. I got a comment here from a listener, Gerald, that's for you.

Starting point is 01:31:22 You said, please can you remind Gerald that Trump designated $500 billion to Ellison on a second day in office this term, supposedly for the deadly demonic MRNA Frankenstein jabs that he used to buy TikTok and CBS. So yeah. And his very first act, he brings in Larry Ellison. Yep. And he's got these guys. His focus now is on not just the abomination of the MRNA bio weapons, but he also wants to merge that with artificial intelligence. And he does that on his very first day in office. You know, we're going to have AI is going to custom design. the poison for each and every one of you. And so that's where we are with this guy.

Starting point is 01:32:02 And when you look at what's happening with the AI stuff, it's truly frightening, Gerald, what the Trump White House as well as Senator Marsha Blackburn, who is going to be our next governor here in Tennessee. There's nobody even to challenge her. They're putting out this, they want to get rid of any obstacles that anybody at the state or local level would put for artificial intelligence. and they want to fully weaponize and control it and centrally control it in Washington.

Starting point is 01:32:32 And it's very frightening to see what these people are doing. It is the ultimate weapon. It is just like the MRA stuff. It is a weapon against us. Oh, yeah. Again, love it, hate it, want it, don't want it. AI is the future and the government's going to control more. And again, we're talking about gold.

Starting point is 01:32:49 They're going to go to central bank digital currencies. CBG, again, we're writing the articles in the Trench Journal. how the Trump teams on all of this stuff. Oh, stable coins. Don't you think that's the way they're going to do it? I mean, they've come out, kind of their cover has been blown to some degree here in the United States. And in Europe, they don't even care. They still call it central bank and digital currency.

Starting point is 01:33:08 But here I think they're going to accomplish the same thing with the so-called stable coins and tell her by, oh, it's not central bank digital currency. Don't worry, it's not that. When functionally, there's no difference, really. It's just that they're cutting themselves in on a big part of the profit, rather than letting all the money be made by the Federal Reserve. Yep. And again, the Trump team's totally in it.

Starting point is 01:33:30 Let me ask you this about what Iran is doing, because they've been playing it pretty smart in terms of not just the military stuff, but also the economic asymmetric warfare. One of the things that they're talking about doing is setting this thing up as a toll area, and they're going to charge people to go through. They're going to charge people in, you can go through

Starting point is 01:33:49 if you pay in Chinese yuan. And so it looks like, they're trying to help the Chinese establish something similar to the petro dollar that we no longer have because we lost our partner on that Saudi Arabia. So Iran wants to be the partner of China in terms of setting up a petro- yuan looks like. What do you think? Well, it's only going to go so far with it. But again, they've had enough of it. And the world is, people are suffering from this. Here, again, I just read to you the day that Trump went on the air about the state of the union address. Because you elected me in most states, the price of gasoline, a gallon, $2.30.

Starting point is 01:34:42 Now you don't worry about it, right? Now we don't, now we don't, now what I'm supposed to worry about it? Yeah. By the way, it was a lie. I looked it up. $2.92. Mm-hmm. Now what is it? I just went on the air before we went on AAA. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 01:34:58 $3.98 a gallon. Wow. That's the average? Average in America. Wow. And of course, when it was cheap, when it was cheap and he was bragging about it being cheap, he wasn't smart enough to fill up

Starting point is 01:35:12 the Strategic Petroleum Reserve gas tank before he goes to war in the Middle East and sets it on fire. What do you mean smart enough? What is he? Has he ever been smart enough doing it? It is, when you go back and look at this, I mean, people are just going to be shaking their heads at the actions that he did, not even from a moral and a legal standpoint, but just from a pragmatic standpoint. What he's doing is so incredibly stupid. It's hilarious, really.

Starting point is 01:35:40 Again, it's one lie after another. You're asking me why gold is going down and hasn't risen. They're lying. Remember that? Again, that little clown boy Chris Wright, the energy secretary. Yeah. I call him Chris Wrong. A little jerk.

Starting point is 01:35:59 Lying, lying right in front of everybody's eyes. We've got U.S. naval forces bringing tankers, oil tankers, through the state's whole moves. Down goes oil prices. A total lie. Yeah, he must have overheard. He must have overheard Trump talking about escorts, and he thought he was actually talking about ships.

Starting point is 01:36:22 He's talking about hookers in D.C. But, yeah, I've got a comment from one of our listeners here saying he talks to his relatives, and they say they're MAGA people, and they say, yeah, you know, it's either it's, we pay it now, we pay it later. He says, I'm so sick and tired of hearing this. They don't care what he does, you know. We hear this. This is a soundbite that everybody's repeating.

Starting point is 01:36:43 Short-term pain, long-term gain. This is going to be a long-term pain. Absolutely, it's going to be long-term. Yeah, this is Iran's targeted countries across the blah, blah, blah. In response, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed, quote, that many countries would send warships to the straight to defend shipping in a post on truth social media. Truth.

Starting point is 01:37:06 How about live social media? And that hopefully, you ready? China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain, and others will send vessels. This is what he wrote. Yeah. Meanwhile, he warned that quote, the U.S., you ready? We'll be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and one way or the other, we will soon get the straight-war moves open, safe, and free. I bet Trump has never even seen a picture of the shoreline.

Starting point is 01:37:39 He wouldn't be thinking of sending troops in if he'd ever seen a picture of the topography that's there, the mountain ranges that are right there at the edge and so forth. You know, there was, Gerald, there was a, the guy who's a former highest ranking French official on NATO, and he was on a program in France. And the guy was asking him, so are we going to help Trump with Strait of Hormuz? And he's like, not a chance. And he started giving reasons. First of all, the guy doesn't realize that if this is a NATO operation, it's a joint operation. And he needs to, first of all, tell us what his plans are, if he's got any.

Starting point is 01:38:13 But he doesn't have any. So he says he's got to first of all have some plans and he's got to coordinate that with us so that we're not all doing our own thing and interfering with each other. He goes, he can't do any of that. He said what he's doing is he's selling dance tickets on the Titanic after it's already hit the iceberg. And he said he's looking, he's not looking for military assistance. He's looking for political assistance. That's really true. I thought it's very astute of the guy.

Starting point is 01:38:41 He said he's looking for political cover, not military cover. That's it. Yeah. Oh, by the way, you see the cover of the Strait of Hermuz? Yeah, that's right. The cover of the Trees Magazine. You got Trump in a boat. That's right.

Starting point is 01:38:51 Show the cover, Travis, if you can. Yeah, Washington crossed the Delaware. Will Trump, will draft Dodger Trump, who said, I'm not afraid of anything. Cross the Strait of her moves. Yeah, Washington crossed the Delaware. Trump double-crossed the U.S., didn't he? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:39:09 And again, this is an illegal, unconstitutional war. Yes. Again, you go back to a couple of weeks ago, the Trends Journal cover. Why did Trump says, I, it was my opinion, opinion, that Iran was going to attack us first. Your opinion? Yeah. How about showing us the facts? I don't have to show you the facts.

Starting point is 01:39:31 Again, this is the arrogance, not my language is. There's a couple of weeks, about a month ago. The New York Times asked if there were any limits to his global power. Mr. Trump said, yeah, there's only one thing. My own morality, my own mind. It's the only thing that could stop me. You ready? I don't need international law.

Starting point is 01:40:03 If I said that, this guy, who the hell is he to say he doesn't need international law? Who the hell does he say only his own mind? That's right. Hey, I'm Trump. I'm wrong. I mean, how can he get away with this? Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be another no king's rally over the weekend, I think.

Starting point is 01:40:25 But what we really need is no princes either because we've got all these bureaucrats. Just at the beginning of the show, I talked about how it's constantly one thing after the other, these people are banning. And I don't know if you saw this yet or not, Gerald, but they just announced that the FCC is going to be. ban most routers that are sold in the United States because they're not made in the United States. So they said it's a security issue for people. And so, yeah, it's a security issue because they want to be the ones to have the back door to your routers and that type of thing. But it's crazy. They just go through and they willy-nilly ban whatever they wish. What gives them the right

Starting point is 01:41:03 to do that? Where do we even have the authority for the FCC to even exist? What are you kidding? We have this. I'm trying to say we go clowns telling us. us what to do. Yeah. On and on and on. Again, look at the COVID war. Oh, that Trump launched, by the way, on what? We taught this a thousand times.

Starting point is 01:41:21 On March 13th, Black Friday, 2020, state of emergency, and then sold the Operation Warp Speed jab. Operation Warp Speed. How warped could you be to swap? I believe in him. Again, you trend's journal. Again, this is, again,

Starting point is 01:41:38 Warp speed for the slow thinkers, yeah. Again, lies, prices had risen to nearly $120. I mentioned this. This is from the TransJournal. Late Sunday, after Iran started striking oil tankers traversing the Straits of Ramos in Iraq and Kuwait where they shut down oil production. Again, lies, lies and moral lies spewed out by Trump and his gang to do what they can to rig the equities and commodities markets for all to see. therefore except the lies keep coming with truth will be untold with major concerns that oil markets are being rigged by Washington yesterday Treasury Secretary Scott Besson told CNBC that the administration had no plans to intervene in financial markets

Starting point is 01:42:32 and may not have the authority to do so even if it wanted. We write, no plans? Does that mean the plans could change? How about saying we would never do anything like that? That's right, yeah. That's right. Yeah, we haven't done that yet. And not have the authority?

Starting point is 01:42:54 How about you don't have the authority? Yeah. And right again, look what just happened. When Trump said that he's, hey, forget 48 hours, I'm giving five more days. Yeah. And they, all of a sudden, half a billion dollars, to short the markets.

Starting point is 01:43:10 Yeah, one and a half. Right of everybody's eyes. Yeah, one and a half billion. Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, certainly they're manipulating the markets. We've talked about this in the past. What about some other assets, other issues as well? I think that there's a lot of people who are looking at oil and thinking, yeah,

Starting point is 01:43:27 this is going to be a surefire double in just a couple of months. So maybe they may be pulling some money out of the gold holdings that they've got and put it into oil. Another thing I want to get your take on. What about the Gulf states? I mean, these guys are seeing their income being blown up and blocked off. And so I think there's a lot of Gulf states out that need some liquidity. They might be selling their massive holdings and gold as well. What do you think about that?

Starting point is 01:43:52 That's very true. And they are selling. And not only that, a lot of people that were playing the gold markets were playing the stock markets. And the stocks, again, we wrote in the Trends Journal magazine, before Trump gave a state of the union address, we had all the poll data in there, and we said, this thing's going down. When all those fails, they take it to war.

Starting point is 01:44:16 Yep, that's right. What happened was when the markets were going down before this, again, we call the dot-com bust, and you're seeing what's going on with the private equity groups. They can't pile one after another. Moody's just downgraded KKR. Really?

Starting point is 01:44:33 Yeah. Junk. To junk. Wow. That's David Petraeus, where he hangs out. You got it. No, no.

Starting point is 01:44:40 No, you didn't say his name right. It's David betrayed us. That's right. He did. Absolutely did. And of course, the Kravitz guy or whatever and betray us, regulars at the Bilderberg conference, always there. It's truly amazing.

Starting point is 01:44:59 Well, you know, gold has been a safe haven. And I think that's why a lot of people are surprised that we had a bad week. It was like the worst week that had in 43 years in terms of gold going down. Of course, it's still up over the, you know, over the last couple of months over the last year, is up significantly. All of the fundamental stuff that is there in terms of long-term perspective are still there and even stronger. And so when I look at it, I see gold as being on sale. I don't know what you see when you look at it.

Starting point is 01:45:34 Hello? Do we lose Gerald? I guess we did. Okay. Well, on that cliffhanger, we'll try to reestablish contact with them. But that's the way I see it. When you look at all the different things that are happening, is the American problem with debt and inflation.

Starting point is 01:45:55 Is that better now that we've got a war? Or is that worse? All the things that have put us there, all of these different factors have gotten much worse. And so, again, I just look at situations like this. just the markets play everything for the short term. They run on a rumor and somebody points to something and they all dashed to that particular thing. And then they react to the reality. It takes them a very long time to react to the reality of it.

Starting point is 01:46:23 If you go back and look at what happened with gold during the OPEC crisis, even with price of oil, it took a while for people to adjust to the reality of it going back to the OPEC-1973 oil embargo. Now with this Trump oil embargo It's taking people a while to get their head around where this stuff is happening The long term you're not going to see long term trends And the marketplace they're going to react to what is happening immediately It's like if you remember up where they had the device where the dogs You could hear what the dogs were thinking

Starting point is 01:46:56 Verbalized it and they'd be talking about something and then all of a sudden squirrel That's that is the stock market that is the commodity market and you got a lot of people as Gerald was saying that are playing it in terms of timing. And so they're going to jump from gold into oil or whatever. And they're going to, and again, there's a lot of really big sovereign holders in the Gulf states. They've got to be looking at this and saying, what are we going to do in terms of liquid income in order to keep ourselves afloat here? They're going to liquidate gold right now. And I think that's what we're seeing right now. A lot of selling pressure on that. Well, we're still still trying to get Gerald Sinty on.

Starting point is 01:47:39 But as I look at that, again, go to David Knight.govold, and that'll take you to Tony Ardman, and he can help you get some physical gold and silver. Not the tokenized stuff, not the paper stuff either. Don't settle for substitutes. Get the real thing. Get the real thing that you have physical possession of. That's where the real gold value is.

Starting point is 01:48:00 Having physical possession is as good as gold, and there isn't anything that is going to be as good as that, that is going to be a token or a share in some kind of a fund that is there. While we're waiting for Gerald to come on, I want to get back to what we're talking about with the war, as a matter of fact. Let's go back to, here it is right here. This is where I left off. Just talking about Trump and his idea that he is supposedly talking to these people, and yet

Starting point is 01:48:31 there's no evidence that he's talking to them. he is still out there boasting about what he's doing as a matter of fact we've won this war has been won the only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news I mean the New York Times you read the New York Times it's like we're not winning a war where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing and we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country they can't do a thing about it

Starting point is 01:49:00 for instance if I want to take down that power plant, that very big powerful power plant. They can't do a thing about it. It's like, take me. That's all they can do. And yet, if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC fake news or NBC fake news, you'd say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. Well, there's not anybody that says that the U.S. is winning except for Ben Shapiro. And he is nothing other than a Zionist propagandist. Nobody questions that as well. As a matter of fact, within Trump's administration, one of the reasons that he may genuinely believe that he's winning because he's surrounded by sycophants and psychopaths.

Starting point is 01:49:42 Look at this interplay here with, you've got Stephen Miller, who is just falling all over himself, flattering Trump and praising Trump. And then Trump turns to, let's see, what was the other person that was there? He turns to the next guy and he said, Cach Patel, I think it was. says, can you do better than that? And he tries his best. The work that President Trump is doing, not only in Memphis, not only in Washington, D.C., but all over the country, ultimately, it will save, and is saving tens of thousands of American lives. It is, and I'll use that word again. What President Trump has done on border security and

Starting point is 01:50:23 public safety is a national miracle that will be studied, not only for generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Steve. Yeah, it will be studied for centuries to come, but not for the reasons he said. Okay. See if you can top that. I don't know. Come on.

Starting point is 01:50:42 Get with a sycifancy, right? You know, Mr. President, as I look around this venue, I see, and I'm reminded again, why we have the greatest warriors on God's Green Earth, the men and women serving in uniform, the men and women serving and wearing the badge, and law enforcement, our police, our sheriffs, around the state of Tennessee, I'm reminded that, Americans exist to protect this country day in and day out, and they've done it like we've done it here. But what we didn't have was you. We didn't have a commander-in-chief who backed the blue, who resourced the blue, who funded the military,

Starting point is 01:51:12 who did whatever it takes to safeguard every single life. And here in Memphis, Tennessee, you have put on a show for the world. You have allowed us to go out of camp. Gang-bangers, rapists, murderers, drug dealers at record, historic levels. Just not anybody that was with Epstein. Indian American kid whose parents fled of genocide in East Africa to become the ninth director of the FBI.

Starting point is 01:51:34 I'm living the wildest dream you could possibly imagine, sir. But it's thanks to you. But more importantly, what I see when I look out across our great partners here in the interagency and our great legislatures and our great attorneys and our great attorney general who has the guts to go out there and make arrest, turn them into prosecutions and put people in prison,

Starting point is 01:51:50 you are giving that dream to every single child in the state of Tennessee. You are inspiring the nation and law enforcement to come up and wear the badge and wear the colors of this country and safeguard our men and women for generations to come. That's right. This is the dream. He's living the dream, this little frat boy.

Starting point is 01:52:09 And you too can grow up and become the director of the FBI and take planes around the world, go play golf in Scotland and take your girlfriend across the country and go to the hockey game at the Olympics and get drunk and all the rest of it. You too can live the dream. That's what this is all about. That's why these people are such sycophants to him because of what they're getting out of this. And, of course, when Trump is talking about how he's winning, the headline from Daily Mail is Trump claims Iran agreed to give up their nukes as his war chief Pete fumes. And Trump says, he didn't want it to be settled.

Starting point is 01:52:47 He said, Pete didn't want this whole thing to be settled. And we noticed that. We noticed that this guy is literally trying to. embrace the values of being a terrorist. Close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice as we loiter on the top of Tehran,

Starting point is 01:53:13 as the President talked about, about your future. The President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The War Department agrees. Our job is to ensure that. Yeah, that's it. As a matter of fact, you had a retired military. military, another retired military guy talking about war, Pete, say this guy is just pushing it into war crimes. And he's endangering our own people as well.

Starting point is 01:53:35 They also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. Those are the words of a potential war criminal. This is a retired major general. And that is not the advice and counsel and direction that any secretary. Secretary of Defense should be providing our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. It puts them actually in greater danger. The Secretary of Defense is a disgraced major that was kicked out of the D.C. National Guard.

Starting point is 01:54:09 He has no qualifications whatsoever to be the Secretary of Defense other than his extreme loyalty to the president. Again, those are the words of a potential war criminal. And again, he has no credentials except for his extreme loyalty to the president. You could say it's the same thing like Cash Patel and Dan Bondi and the rest of them. And I think we got Gerald Slythe back with us. Gerald, are you there? I'm back here. We had a little problem with the Internet here.

Starting point is 01:54:37 Okay, great, great. All right. So before I was telling you, the equity markets are going down, going back to gold. A lot of people, you know, they're playing the gold markets, doing the futures markets, et cetera. They're losing money, so they had to pull it out of there. That's what brought down a lot of the prices. That's right. They've got to cover their positions, yeah.

Starting point is 01:54:54 And then they're selling the lie that because. the United States, the dollars going up, so that means it's more safe to buy treasuries, et cetera, because of the dollar. That's a lot of baloney. Did you see the article that came out in Fortune that's showing that the real debt-to-GDP level in the United States, the real debt level in the United States

Starting point is 01:55:17 is $143 trillion, not $39 trillion or $38 trillion? Oh, yeah. The unfunded liability is like Social Security, right? Exactly. So going back to Trump, you know, it's, it was just a gentleman who was just saying about Hegson. This is March 4th. Remember, the war begins on February 28th. So what, three, four days later, he goes, they are toast. They know it. Or they will know it soon enough.

Starting point is 01:55:51 Yeah. Iran, you ready? This is him. Iran's senior leaders are dead. the so-called governing council that would have selected successes, Hegson added, are dead, missing and cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room. Iran officials cannot talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated, sustained offensive. That was March 4th. As soon as he says stuff like that, they immediately release a massive barrage against other people.

Starting point is 01:56:30 We've taken out all their missile launchers. And then they see, he said it's so obvious that he's lying to everybody about it. And it's really Trump is the one who's toast. And he's constantly being buttered up on both sides by these sycophants that he's put around himself. No, again, this is going back before. Yeah. President Trump said there would be no deal to end the U.S. war against the Iraq. Iran without, you're ready, unconditional surrender.

Starting point is 01:56:59 That's what he was saying before. This is the quote on what they call truth social, lie social. Quote, after that and the selection of a great and acceptable, all in capitals, leader, we and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction. making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. This is kind of crappy rights. Yeah. Yeah, it's so full of boasting and bragging, and it is so empty.

Starting point is 01:57:36 It's so tiresome. I think what is going to happen, and I'm really concerned because I think the Democrats can pretty much run the most radical people on the left and get elected as this thing is going to drag on and on. So we're going to get whipsawed to the other. side of this thing, I think. Yep. Yeah. This is going back. President Trump boasted on Tuesday that U.S. strikes, quote, had knocked out most of Iran's military. I mean, unbelievable. Yeah. It's just one lie after another. That's right. Yeah. Remember this one? March 4th.

Starting point is 01:58:17 Trump, any potential next lead of Iran, you ready? Just ends up dead. Wow. Yeah. And that's the thing that really disgust me, too, is War Pete, Hegesa. Just like that clip I was playing, the guy says, you know, this is not only a war crime, but it is also making it more dangerous for our own soldiers, right? If you're going to kill everybody when you capture them, rather than giving them humane treatment, as we've all agreed to do, you want to go to total unlimited war. You're going to machine gun people in the water. And this goes back to before the Iran situation.

Starting point is 01:58:52 This goes back to their other war of aggression against Venezuela. Zwella and attacking people that were no threat to them. And then going around, even if you didn't kill them, you circle back around and murder them as their shipwrecked. This has always been considered to be a war crime. And I think it's going to be kind of interesting to see some of these people get some criminal referrals to the International Criminal Court, not that they'll necessarily get there because Netanyahu's got one, but he hasn't had to stand before them.

Starting point is 01:59:20 But they did get Duterte out of the Philippines. He was a guy that was a big hero to Trump because he was shooting people on the streets if he just thought that they were a drug dealer. And so now he's answering to an international criminal court. He's in the docket. He will probably go to jail for that. But I'd have to wait and see if people get upset enough with Trump. They might hand him over.

Starting point is 01:59:43 Who knows? Again, he's talking about the drug dealers. It had nothing to do with that. It was stealing their oil. That's right. That's right. They lied about this drug dealing crap. By the way, they killed a couple of people last week.

Starting point is 01:59:53 in both, too. Yeah. But again, as I said, you think we would have invaded Iraq, Syria, and Libya if their major export was broccoli? That's right. Absolutely right. It's the same thing with Venezuela. Again, my book, Trend Tracking, Far better than Megatrends, Time Magazine. I write about how I became a trend forecaster, and it's right here, the Iran conflict, right here. It's 1978, 79. People had no idea the United States overthrow the democratically elected government of Muhammad Mozendegga, in 1953, because he had the nerve to say that the oil in Iran belonged to the Iranian people. Yeah, I'm so tired of hearing this 47-year. I'm so tired of hearing this 47-year thing. People don't understand anything at all about that. There's a great article, by the way, from David Stockman,

Starting point is 02:00:44 who said, I was there in Reagan administration. I understand what we were doing to Iran then as well, and he talks about it.
