Episode Date: April 22, 2026

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:10] Tucker's "Mea Culpa" on Trump — Knight: Not Enough Without Explaining How and Why Tucker said he's "tormented" by misleading people on Trump but offered no explanation — Knight: same guy who shut down 9/11 engineers on air and said he never looked at the polio vaccine. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:24:58] Indian Medical Student Used Gemini to Create a Fake MAGA Influencer — Made Thousands Per Month Gemini advised him the "MAGA conservative niche" was a "cheat code" — so he created Emily Hart, a fake AI nurse posting gun range selfies and Christ is King captions, making thousands monthly. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:47:49] Palantir CEO Alex Karp Published a 22-Point Manifesto — Knight: Sales Pitch for Empire, Not a Republic Karp's manifesto calling Silicon Valley to defend the nation, demanding national service, and calling bureaucrats "priests" is a marketing document for the surveillance clients who buy his product. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:15] Palantir Made $1.6 Billion Net Income in 2025 — Paid Zero Federal Taxes While Revenue Grew 93% Palantir is among at least 88 major US companies that paid no federal income tax in 2025 — stock doubled in the first half of the year entirely on government contracts. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:08:03] Karp Wants a Draft So Everyone Has "Skin in the Game" — But Won't Pay Taxes or Go Fight Himself Karp argues no one should vote unless they've served — Celente: anybody that supports this war, put on your costume and go fight, or shut your mouth. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:17:03] CNN Montage: Trump Said the Iran War Would End in Three to Four Weeks — It Is Now Eight Weeks In CNN compiled Trump's repeated statements that the war was "very close to over" — it started February 28th and has no deal as of today. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:20:07] Trump Contradicted Himself on Iran Seven Times in Three Days — Celente Documented Each Lie From April 17th to 21st Trump said Iran "agreed to everything," then said there were "significant differences," then threatened every power plant, then announced an indefinite ceasefire — all in 72 hours. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:24:58] Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Countries Are Now Exiting — Trump's War Has Triggered a Global Arms Race The head of the UN atomic agency warned that countries formerly protected by the NPT are reconsidering — nuclear weapons are now the only credible deterrent against US aggression. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:47:40] Gold Prices Are Temporarily Down Because Governments Are Liquidating — Celente: Buy the Dip Russia sold 22 tons of gold, Turkey is selling, and Middle Eastern countries are liquidating to cover losses — Celente: this is temporary, gold remains the number one safe haven, and the worst is still ahead. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:51:22] Celente: The Real US Debt Is $143 Trillion — The Death of the Dollar Is on the Doorstep Fortune reported US debt is $143 trillion when Social Security and other obligations are included — Celente: this war has destroyed the global economy and the death of the dollar is going to happen. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code “KNIGHT”For high quality made in America products go to HomeSteadProducts.shop and use promo code “Knight” for 10% off your purchasesFind out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @[e-mail] App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 22nd of April, year of our Lord, 2006. Today, we're going to be talking about megalomaniacal elites, the billionaires who seek to rule us, the people who think there are a little gods and seek to become bigger gods. We're going to talk about Palantianian. Manifesto, what does it tell us about this very powerful company and the people that they work with? Because their visions line up with each other. They're not giving all this money to Palantir because they don't agree with Palantir. They agree 100% with Palantir.

One of the things that people are missing when they look at this manifesto, as many people said, it looks like a supervillain monologuing in a Marvel comic movie. But what they're missing is he's not really. monologuing, he's doing a sales pitch to the people who want this stuff. And we're going to begin with Tucker Carlson's Mia Culpa. It's not really a Mia Culpa at all. We'll be right back. Well, as Reason says, the COVID reckoning, and it hasn't really been a reckoning, has there?

It doesn't go far enough. And you know, what we're hearing in all these COVID reckonings, these inquiries that are being done, various places. Typically, it's like, well, you know, we're sorry. Mistakes were made. You know, we did the best we could. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And usually they finish it with saying, next time, we'll do better and we'll do more and we'll do it sooner. They haven't learned any lessons from this at all. And I guess the question is when I looked at Tucker, and he did his Mia Kulpa and said, it's not just enough to apologize for people for helping Trump to get into office and supporting this guy and gaslighting the public about that.

I thought, well, what about gaslighting the public on 9-11? What about gas-liding the public on the COVID pandemic and the bioweapon as it was happening? As it was happening. So Trump put in a new team in charge of federal health apparatus, says reason. Some of them truth-telling contrarians who risked their careers to expose the sins of the old guard, but it's also a messy picture because the man in charge of HHS has controversial theories about the danger of vaccination with little factual basis, says reason. Well, we can certainly disagree with that. The problem with RFK Jr. is not that he's warned people

about the dangers of vaccination. He was right about that. The problem with RFK Jr. is that he sold out for power. And it comes down to doing an investigation, which I think a reason fell on because they typically they start out right away talking about the history of the FDA, the power play behind the FDA, and how they removed basically people's consent. And that's a key thing. But there also needs to be informed consent. And it has been there to cover that up, to give a veneer of legitimacy and

trust to things that should never be trusted, things that should always be investigated. That's the major problem with the FDA. And like liberty, I've said this so many times before because I've seen it so many times. Libertarians will always zoom in and focus on the sins of the government. They will never pay any attention to the sins of the corporations. Just the opposite of the liberal Democrats who will always focus on the sins of the corporations, but we'll never look at the sins of the government. And the reality, folks, is that the two of them have joined forces.

And their evil sides have become stronger as they have joined forces. That's the reality of what is happening with this. So with all that in mind, let's take a look at what Tucker Carlson does in terms of his apology. He says, for misleading people on Trump. Well, again, as I said, he talks a little bit about the pandemic and the bioweapon. We'll see what he has to say about that. But it's also misled people on 9-11 and many other things. And when you look at the pandemic and the bioweapon,

he was misleading people as it was happening. Right. The purpose of 9-11 in terms of investigation and looking at that was very clear. These people who purport to use that tragedy, if they're the ones who created it, and I say they are, I'm not going to equivocate about any of this stuff. I've done some research. Tucker Carlson, when it comes to vaccines and things like that, he says, well, I don't know.

You know, Trump said, don't you like the polio vaccine? And I would say to Tucker Carl, he says, well, I don't know. I never looked at that, you know. So don't give a Mike Johnson answer. Come on. You know why people like Mike Johnson do that? You know why people like Tucker Carlson do that. They know, they've got an opinion.

And by the way, that's his job, isn't it? It's his job to investigate something that is important like that. if he doesn't know anything about it, start investigating. You're smart enough to know. Instead, he doesn't want to go there because that's going to be something that, hey, if these people are right, I'm going to be a kook. If I go against the vaccine industry, if I go against viruses in general, which that's where my investigation led me, when I started looking at this stuff,

I said, well, okay, I was looking at it all within the vaccine paradigm, right? the vaccine and virus paradigm that we'd been told by the establishment medical community. It's like, I looked at it and it's like, okay, within this paradigm, none of this stuff makes any sense. And then you start to look at the paradigm itself. He pulled back a little bit further to get a bigger picture. And you see that that doesn't make any sense either. It's got some major flaws in it. That's when you start seeing the polio stuff and anything.

But he doesn't want to go there. And so I'll play for you what. Tucker Carlson had to say. You and I and everyone else who supported him. Talk to his brother. Speaches for him. I campaign for him. I mean,

we're implicated in this for sure. Yes. It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind or like, oh, this is bad. I'm out. It's like in very small ways,

but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now. Yes. So I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. you know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be.

And I want to say, I'm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional. That's all I'll say. But anyway, but the question does... Mistakes for me. ...present itself immediately, like, what is this? Was this always the plan? You don't want to be a conspiracy nut, but, like,

clearly there were signs of low character. We knew that. Yes. But it didn't... There are tons of people of low character who, like, outperform their character. it doesn't have to be sort of the norm actually these days i've outperform my character a lot i don't have especially high character right but you know you try to whatever you try your best but um but what what what was this was this always the plan um yeah yeah it was you know when i look at that

he says uh well you know it's kind of like mistakes were made and um you know we looked at this and it should know them better i knew this guy was a reality tv show who had very low character. I mean, you know, they made movies about his character. I remember Karen had for the longest time a sweater that she got his promotional product. We had the video stores and it was First Wives Club. And it was kind of funny. The t-shirt, the sweater said that First Wives Club.

But the, you know, that movie was made with Ivanka and it was made to push back against what Trump did to his wife. He just didn't divorce her. for somebody else. We look at what he publicly, how he publicly humiliated her. And what have we seen with that? It's been a pattern for him. Absolutely a pattern. That's what he basically built his brand on.

You're fired and you're no good and all the rest of this stuff. But again, to come in and say, well, you know, yeah, we kind of missed this. That just doesn't cut it. You know, I worked at Texas Instruments and I was part of a group that was customer liaison for semi-custom semiconductor design for a large company. So we'd have customers like Siemens and a lot of large companies. I mentioned Siemens because we had the group that I was in, we had like a guy from Germany, a guy from France. I was the American. There was somebody from Italy and Japan and on on. It was kind of interesting, you know, working with all these different

people from different countries and everything. But, you know, they're working with their own people in their own country. And the German case, there was something that happened with the chips. They were defective. And so the German company comes back in, and Dietmar was like, oh, man, we got to, we got to explain this to them. This is huge. And Germany, it's not enough to say, hey, I'm sorry, you know, we'll give you a discount

or give you your money back. We'll do better next time. That's not good enough. You're going to lose not only this customer, but your reputation in the country. if you don't tell them how this happened. They want an explanation. You got to tell me how this happened. And then you got to explain to me what you've done to make sure this never happens again.

Nothing less than that is acceptable. And I would say that when we're talking about something this big, nothing less than that is acceptable. You just can't say, oh, I'm sorry, I'll try to do better next time somehow. You got to say, how did this happen? How did you miss this? why did you miss this and what have you changed about the way that you conduct your information that you give to people that's not going to happen again and of course we didn't get that did we so um the question is um how does this help his credibility and um you know we're gonna are we

gonna just trade uh one hero for another hero you know don't listen to trump anymore i'm your hero now Trust me. Don't trust Trump. Trust Tucker now. No, trust no one. Do your own research. The program should be the beginning of your research. You know, it's going to give you some ideas and it should get you inspired to investigate further. It's not designed any, none of these programs should really be looked at as the final word on anything.

always critically think about what you're hearing regardless of who you hear it from you know regardless where you get it from me or not and so the question is and i've said this about tucker before how did he wind up doing this you know you have uh i remember during during gov it i criticized him you know he would uh they would force him to uh talk to uh what was that doctor that they had i'm trying to think of his name anyway they had a doctor and i remember it vividly He goes down to see Trump, and the two of them are not wearing masks, so they're standing like 10 feet apart to do this interview. It's kind of awkward.

And this guy who's a big pharmaceutical pusher, big vaccine pusher, because that's what Fox is. That's where they make their money. And just remember the one that Woody Harrelson did on Saturday Night Live. You had to do it live because if he had recorded this, they would have shut it down. But he goes, they gave me this movie. script and I sat down and read it in the park and nobody would believe this. It's like all the drug companies get together and they buy up all the media and all these government people and they force everybody to take their product. I said, that's just too incredible. Nobody would believe that.

And that was the punchline. And again, Woody was smart enough to know that he was only going to be able to do that if he was in a live TV situation. Otherwise, that would have been pulled out by the people who have bought all the major networks and the politicians. And so he would throw to this guy. I can't remember the guy's name is really bothering me. It'll come to me eventually. Most of the neurons are still there. They just operate very, very slowly.

Anyway, he talked to this guy. And, you know, so the two of them are talking and they go back and forth. And so, you know, this Fox, quote unquote, doctor asks Trump. Are you going to get the vaccine? And it goes, well, I should get it. I want to get it. But if I do it first, everybody will say, I'm jumping ahead of the line. If I don't get it right away, they'll say that I'm afraid to take it.

So they're talking about stuff like that. And then Tucker, they made Tucker because he made it clear that he was a little bit concerned about it. But he didn't give any reasons for why somebody would be concerned about it. Like what? Is he like Albert Borla? Or what's the deal? You know, why is he reluctant? You should tell people why.

You should, if you're so afraid to take this stuff yourself, you should tell people why. I mean, it just, it goes back to the biblical principle of the watcher on the wall. If you see the people coming and you are the guy who's been given the duty to be the watcher, if you don't tell people, if you just run away yourself because you saw it coming and you let everybody else die, it's on you it's not necessarily i mean yeah it's on the people who did the killing it's on trump and fyser or the invading army but it's also on you because rather than tell people you just ran away and saved yourself and so uh he's he's done that in my opinion you came back from that so he throws to the guy and it's kind of clear he's giving eye rolls and stuff like

this when he comes back and and he has a little bit of an interaction with this doctor and the says something to him about him and he says, well, I'm not taking it. That's it. That was his big resistance against what he now calls accurately, the bio weapon. So the bio weapon out of that, well, I'm not taking it. I'm running away. I'm going to tell people why I'm not taking it. I'm not going to tell people what I saw with this. I'm just going to run away and not take it. How is that the right thing to do? Here's what he has to say about the Trump genetic code. injection. You said something really interesting. You didn't take the Vax. Thank God. Literally, thank God. Never once considered it. I did not. So obviously. Thank God. But Trump did and encouraged

everyone else to take it and then never apologized even when it became clear that the Vax had killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world. And there's never really been studied in this country, but millions, tens of millions. I mean, they kill people I know. Me too. Still killing people. So, um, I know young men now who took it, who had. have myocarditis and other heart problems. Weird cancers. It was poison. Look at the cancer rates.

Look at the fertility rates. Like everything about it was a bio weapon aimed at us. Yes. And Trump didn't apologize for that. I don't know all the things that I've just ignored or forced myself to grow or whatever. My flaws come out as I remember all of this. And my shame emerges. Well-deserved shame.

But anyway. Trump is completely absent shame about it. to this day, we'll still talk about the success of Operation Warp Speed, which allowed these things to come to market, which allowed the pharmacy. You know what he said to me? I actually raised it with him because I'm so upset about it. It's just killed too many people and it made too many women infertile.

And that's just the most evil thing ever. And it's still on the schedule. And it's so immoral. It's hard to believe this is even happening. Well, he goes on to say, I thought I had it in that clip, but he goes on to say, and Trump says to me, so you're not for vaccines at all?

You're not for polio? You don't support the polio vaccine? and he says, oh, yeah, so what he did was he just completely changed the subject. We're talking about the COVID vaccine. And he starts talking about the polio vaccine or just vaccines in general. And he goes, I don't know anything about the polio vaccine. And, you know, I don't know what to say about this. And it's like, I look at it's like, that's your job, Tucker.

You're supposed to investigate this stuff. You're not just there to entertain people and make money doing that, are you? It's amazing to me. He says, so it's not enough to say, say, well, I'll change my mind or, oh, this is bad and I'm out. Except that's what he did. And when you look at his brother, it's kind of interesting, isn't it? Travis? It's amazing how much he reminds me of Alex Jones. Because Alex Jones has got his cousin, who's like a brother to him named Buckley. Tucker Carlson named his brother's named Buckley. He named his son,

Buckley, Tucker's son is named Buckley. And what is it about Buckley? is that these this is the other thing that's common with him CIA families how many people do you know that are in the CIA how many people in your family are in the CIA or any friends that you have who even have CIA family members I'd never known anybody that was in the CIA before and I consider that to be a major red flag because of what the CIA is but anyway the um perhaps it's because they really admire William F. Buckley, who was a big promoter of the CIA. They wrote novels, spy novels and things like that. And he was a big promoter of that.

And, of course, the person who attacked the John Burke Society, genuine constitutional conservatives. They are anathema to the CIA. And people like William F. Buckley at the National Review. So, again, think about. that. His father was not only CIA, but he was propaganda for the CIA, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, things like that. So anyway, Trump responded, said, well, they're stupid people. They know it. Their families know it. Everybody knows it. Well, I think the reality is that both Trump

and Tucker know how to con people. And when you are a con man, you think that everybody is stupid. when you're a thief, you think everybody is stupid. They should have known better. They got what they deserved. They're too stupid to have that money. I'm the one who deserves it. I have seen that attitude over and over again. Now here, in contrast, is the way that it should be done.

Kerry preaching ballers, as I talk about in this article from NBC, they're talking about all the different people who have abandoned Trump lately. Here's Carrie preaching baller. She was a Trump-appointed member of the religious liberal. Liberty Commission, as we've talked about. And she stood on her principles of religious liberty. And she got kicked out by a lot of these Zionists who don't care anything about Christ. They don't care anything about liberty.

I don't care anything about free speech of the Constitution either. They simply want their way. They kicked her out. Trump kicked her out. First of all, she said to the guy who's lieutenant governor in Texas, he was the one who was the head of the commission. And she said, you don't have the, Dan Patrick, you don't have the right to throw me out of this.

I was put in here by Trump. And he's the one who throws me out. Even if you're the head of the commission, you don't have the right to remove me. And so then Trump removed her. And so she said, Trump is an evil psychopath. And she got that right.

But she's done on her integrity. And she got thrown out. Tucker didn't want to do that. Remember, when he talked about 9-11, what he said about 9-11, and I've played clips, shameful clips, of him shutting down the architects and engineers for 9-11 truth. They wanted to show the clip of the building, Building 7, collapsing and free fall, even though it was not even hit by plane. There were just some minor fires that had gone for a short period of time.

It's like, explain that, Tucker. And so he'd say, yeah, I've got all these 9-11 people. They want to talk to me about the melancholys. melting temperature of steel and all the rest of these things. Who cares about any of that stuff, right? Is that the guy you want to get your information from? The guy that doesn't care about that. People tell me something about polio and it's like, well, I don't know anything about that.

And I'm not going to look at it either. And so he also said, you know, there's certain things you just can't talk about. You can't talk about building seven or you get fired. He said that after he was kicked out of Fox. He knew where the lines were drawn. He knew what would get him fired. from his job where he's making tens of millions of dollars a year. And he chose not to go over those lines,

not to warn people about losing their life and their health. He chose to do that. Talk about Mia Culp. It makes me sick to see people like Tucker and Alex Jones doing this kind of stuff, deliberately deceiving people in order to jump on a bandwagon. They're not leaders, they're followers. They disgust me to have absolutely no integrity. And so I'm sorry for misleading people, he says, well, is he going to do it again?

Or does he think now that his job is to actually investigate and learn something? Or is it just to come up with sensational stuff to get eyeballs? Again, like that, in that way, he's exactly like Alex Jones as well. So he says he'll be tormented by the decision for a long time to come. not as much as he should be tormented. Go look at the fathers and mothers who've lost their children. Go look them in the eye if you want to be tormented. If you want to realize what you've actually done.

So while we're talking about this, there's an interesting story about AI and its ability to deceive. This is a guy from India. He was a medical student. And he needed some money because it was costing him a lot of money. so he's looking for ways to make money. He thinks, well, you know, maybe what I can do is I can use AI to create a sexy looking avatar. You know, I can create a girl that looks really sexy. And I can sell softcore porn of this girl.

And so that wasn't working because that's just too easy for other people to do as well. So I had a lot of competition in that. And so what he did was he asked, I think it was Gemini. Yeah, he asked Gemini for advice. First, he started YouTube shorts and he sold study notes to other medical students. But he just wasn't making any money. So he thought, well, why not use an AI-generated girl using Google Gemini's

Nano Banana Pro? And I can sell bikini photos over online. But then he started posting these generic photos of beautiful, scannily clad woman on Instagram. He was dismayed to find that none of the content was hitting. So then he asked Gemini for advice. And Gemini says, well, if you create a generic hot girl, you're competing with a million other models. So he presented Gemini with a few possible options to help his model stand out. And the chatbot selected one in particular, the MAGA conservative niche.

Referring to it as such an easy thing, referred to it as a cheat code. This is like this QFS nonsense. I mean, they're still doing this quantum, uh, total BS. Uh, but they're doing it now over the wrong war instead of over the election, you know, the January, the sixth stuff, which Steve Pachanek did. And I read that to you and I said, this looks like it was written by either Steve Pachennik or the people who wrote Steve Pachinik's sting lie that kicked off, stopped the steel, and all the rest of that stuff.

But they're constantly coming up with nonsense like that. that. So yeah, it is a cheat code to make money. I remember Roger Stone saying after the election, he said, we're going to make a lot of money off the Stop the Steel thing. He was the one who came up with the name Stop the Steel from the first Trump campaign. And he said it was going to be like falling off a log. And it was. And none of them got any trouble. That should tell you something, shouldn't it? Anyway, the conservative audience, especially older men in the U.S., often has higher disposable income and is more loyal. says Gemini.

So last January, this guy created Emily Hart, a registered nurse and Jennifer Lawrence look-alike. He did it on an Instagram account for Emily. He posted photos of her ice fishing, drinking Coors light, and shooting off a few rounds at a rifle range. And then he put captions like, if you want a reason to unfollow, Christ is king. Abortion is murder. All illegals must be deported. And point of view, you were assigned intelligent at birth, but you now identify as a liberal. Those are the buttons that he pushed on there.

Again, using Jesus to make... This is a guy who... He's an Indian. He's not a Christian. He doesn't care about any of these issues. He doesn't care about Christ either. He said, however, the account blew up. He said, every...

reel that I posted was getting 3 million views, 5 million views, 10 million views. Within a month, Emily Hart had more than 10,000 Instagram followers, many of whom subscribed to her softcore AI generated content on OnlyFans competitor of FanView. So between the FanView subscriptions and selling MAGA-themed T-shirts, one sample message said PTSD, pretty tired of stupid Democrats. He estimated that he was making a few thousand dollars a month. It's amazing when you look at how much of the the Maga idiots that are out there on Twitter, you know, the people who come up with stuff and that no matter what Trump does,

they come up with some cheerleading thing. And so many of them are bots from other countries, like India or whatever. They just realize they can make a lot of money feeding this tribal delusion that is happening with the Trump followers. They figured out what Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson figured out and many of these other people who are now opposing Trump. And so he said, in India, even in professional jobs, you can't make the kind of money that I was making. I haven't seen an easier way to make money online. Yeah, it is a cheat code, isn't it? And so they say on this article, the influencers are created from a specific template. They tend to be white, blonde, and with jobs like emergency responders.

A lot of them are cops, firefighters, or EMTs. They also incorporate right-wing views into all of their content. They rail about immigration or the Epstein files. Well, there's one of my problems, I guess, rail about immigration. I rail about ICE. And the police state. I want to get the immigration stuff under control. Don't get me wrong.

But I am more worried about the means. that Trump has been using, then I am even the end of our society. Because that is the end of our society. And it ends in a much, it's a much worse ending than being overrun by foreign culture to be overrun by a domestic police state that has artificial intelligence behind it.

That is my greatest concern. And so I guess a lot of people see me as soft on immigration because of that. I'm not soft on immigration at all. But anyway, Or they pose an American flag bikinis. I don't do that either. Believe me, you don't want to see me an American flag bikini. Or in maga hats.

And I would never pose in a maga hat either. I've never put one of those on my head. I've never had a maga hat and I will never have a maga hat. Not at all. So we're going to take a quick break. And before we do, I have a mea cup. I have a correction that I need to make. And I want to thank Ryan, for the love of the road, for pointing this out, he said the Trump

clip that I've shown several times where he criticizes Israel for a load of bad bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. He said, that was not, I was under the impression that that happened after Israel violated the ceasefire. And so I've played that many times and said, well, so, you know, everybody knows that that was part of the agreement, even though they've been very careful not to release the agreement. What does that tell you? They keep it quiet because they want to lie to you about it.

And we've seen the Trump administration do this last year with a memorandum of understanding with Panama. There was one that was published that was in Spanish and another one that they didn't publish that was in English. And the Panamanian paper that is in Spanish got the English version. and they noticed that it was different, and they published both of them. So the response from the American government, the Trump regime, excuse me, was to completely remove the American one

so that nobody can have access to it on the website because they wouldn't have two separate agreements because there's nothing but liars and thieves. So truly is amazing. So they're going to continue to lie to you and say, yeah, we got this agreement, we got this treaty, and they give one version to the other side. And another version, they say, that's our treaty.

The never having intent to abide by any agreements, treaties, memorandums of understanding. Never. Truly is amazing. Anyway, we've seen that kind of stuff before. And what we saw with this ceasefire agreement was you had Iran and the people who were the mediators in it, Pakistan. Both of them said, well, this included Lebanon. Trump, I thought, was complaining about the fact that they had violated from the very beginning and then he came back around and said well it was never in there to start with and I thought

the sequence was that they violated it he criticized them he gets a call from Netanyahu and then he takes Netanyahu's side on this saying that it was never a part of the agreement so I was wrong about that I'm not wrong about Trump being a liar and a warmonger and a thief but I was wrong about those details so it's important to make that correction and I want to thank Ryan for doing that Again, I can be wrong about things. And I try to do the best I can with research. And you need to do your own research. And when you find that there's a disagreement, please tell me.

And if you're right and I'm wrong, I will mention it on air. And so that's my Mia culpa that's there. But we're going to take a quick break. Actually, before we do, we've got some comments here. With these from today or yesterday? These are from today. We have bin Laden Bernanke, Norm McDonald's the George Carlin of his era. despised all the politician actors and actors, never picked sides, lost his S&L job by tearing up OJ Simpson.

Yeah, that was a lot of fun to watch that. Well, it appears now murder is legal in the state of California. That's right. I'm not a Carlin fan. He has some funny lines. I'll give him that, but he's a very cynical, very malicious person. I don't like him. I don't respect him. And you'll notice in that bit he does, it says, it's a big club and you ain't in it, not we ain't in it. man as smart as George Carlin paints himself to be, doesn't make a mistake like that. He doesn't do that. Well, you have a lower opinion of him than I do.

I actually liked this stuff. I grew watching him. And I think the, I have a problem with him is that they're a hardcore atheist. Yeah. I don't find his stand-up very funny. I find it all very acerbic and biting and angry. He was a very bitter, angry person.

And a man that rich, a man with that much in his life has no right to be that bitter and angry. Sorry. You and I are pretty bitter. angry and cynical about things, aren't we? I mean, you know, that's a... Life is good. Cut him a little bit of slack there. Nah, I don't like George Carlin. When you look at politics, I got to cut him some slack on that. Don't like George Carlin. I just don't like his... The problem is that it's fine to be cynical

and you can even be bitter about being ripped off by these people, but you got to have some hope in life, right? And he doesn't have, he didn't have any hope in life. He rejected Christ. And so, you know, that, to me, that is the ultimate blackfield. You know, one of the things that's come out recently, Travis, is he used to joke about how he had this immune system that was ironclad because he used to swim in the sewage-laden Hudson River, whatever it was, it runs through New York. And it turns out that there's a lot of truth to that. Just saw some articles.

Now, that I believe. Now, George was right about that. Absolutely was. In the early days, he wasn't that cynical. and he was really funny. He had a thing. He was a hippie-dippy weatherman. And he made fun of the hippies.

And that's how he got his start. I like those bits where he's on other places. But, you know, 90 minutes of George Carlin is suffering. It is pain. And I compare him once again to Norm MacDonald. Norm MacDonald died a very painful, very sad death. But he never told anyone. He bore that on himself because he's like, I'm a comedian.

My job is to make people laugh. I'm not going to burden them with my suffering. and he was funny and witty right up until the end. So that I respect. Yeah, that's right. Birdhouse Blues. Rumble is still saturated with MAGA content creators. Amazing.

Yeah, that's right. Well, look who owns it. Dan Bongino. Dan Bongino still has an audience. Amazing. Jesse Lee Peters, amazing. Yeah, absolutely, yes. Go ahead.

Did we lose our comments from yesterday because we had some really good ones that we did? Oh, I might be able to retrieve. them. I'll see if I can get them back during the break. All right. So we're going to take a break and we'll come back and if we've got some of those comments we didn't get to yesterday, we'll talk about those and come back because there were some good ones. 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. All right, welcome back. And are you able to retrieve the comments you said? I was indeed.

All right. Command Z is a powerful tool. Okay, so let's talk about some of the comments we didn't get to yesterday. That's right. It's Self-Patriot. We missed this yesterday, but thank you very much for the tip. He says, I saw a study a few years ago about the psilocybin mushrooms for treating cluster headaches. They had to do it outside of the United States because of the drug classification war on drug, you know? I feel like a lot of Americans might stop getting cluster headaches if they simply are not in the United States. I wonder if they'll spike around April 15th. That'd be very curious to find out.

Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, the thing is, the war on drugs has not worked at all, and that was really what I was talking about. Because the FDA doesn't work. The war on drugs doesn't work. Homeland Security doesn't work. Nothing in government works. And we should be grateful when it doesn't work.

We don't want to get all the government that we pay for, quite frankly. Hi, Boost, says Trump murdered his own supporters to further his campaign. There was a lot of people on the fence. And after the fake-ass attempt, they all. jumped on the Trump train again. Yeah. Yeah, that's, you know, that's what we should call it instead of the, uh, the fake assassination attempt. We should call it the fake ass attempt. It really was. And that's in response to a video that I put together yesterday of all these professional wrestlers who talked about how they

hide razor blades, various places and cut themselves when they, you know, go down on the ground, come up bleeding. And I said, yeah, this is, this is a guy who, lived in that world. Donald Trump lived in the WWE world. He was there all the time Vince McMahon, and they were doing silly stuff like that together. So he would know how to do that. And there was a video that played just a little bit of. Mostly I didn't play the part where the wrestler was showing John Stossel how to pull off some of these tricks. But he was talking about how he cut himself. but in that expose that John Stossel did on professional wrestling back in the mid-1980s, they were throwing each other around and he said, yeah, look, I can do this as a big guy.

And the guy did all the work. I mean, he made it look like he was picking the guy up and toss him, but the other guy was doing all the work. So, you know, the whole thing was fake. Yeah. And if he had stuck to wrestling, none of us would have this much of a problem with him. Real Jason Barker, that pause was so the blood had time to run probably. That's right. Yeah. He may not have been sweating enough, you know.

Zog slave. Zog slave says his buddy Vince Trump made his wife Department of Education Head. That's right. Linda McMahon, I believe, is her name. That's right. Guard Goldsmith and of course, real Jason Barker, you can find him at Nights of the Storm. And you can go to Nights of the Storm.com to see schedules there. They do a great broadcast. Excuse me. Guard Goldsmith, and you can find him at Liberty Conspiracy, says, remember Evander, Holyfield's ear after Tyson bit it. And though the skin healed, the cartilage never did beneath that skin. Yeah, when that happened, I think I played that, that joke, there was a joke that we mean that we used to have back in the day. And it was Mike Tyson selling Cheerios. He was on the box, but they were called Eerieos, and they were ear-shaped, little breakfast cereal about Tyson biting

the air. That's right. Cartilage does not grow back. And, again, if that had nicked him, you would have seen that nick forever. Yeah, boxing is probably the only combat sport I find mildly interesting to watch, but modern boxing is really lame. Really, really lame. Floyd Mayweather Jr. had a detrimental effect on it. Front porch media says prayer is extra-dimensional. That's right.

We're talking about multidimensional beings yesterday. And, you know, the fact that got all these scientists, now some of them are saying, And while we think reality is seven-dimensional, not four-dimensional, not the three-dimensional aspect of space and then the fourth one of time, but seven dimensions. We've had a lot of other people who are heavily involved in string theory that say 12 dimensions. So, yeah, that helps to explain, I think, what we're really seeing with the UFOs. But the fundamental explanation is one that is spiritual. And it is one, of course, that is going to agree with the Bible, because that is our foundation

for truth. Alien poop evolution says the flood story explains the landscape better than the UN. Yeah, that's right. And you know, it is interesting, too, when you look at things like the Tower of Babel, you have secular anthropologists who all agree that, why do they call that area the cradle of civilization? It's this kind of strange. We had all these different civilizations. We had the European civilization, the Asian civilization, India, and all. They all sprung up at about the same time.

How did that happen? Why did all of a sudden, why did you go for millions and millions of years, they think? And nothing happened. And then all of a sudden, boom, just like that, you wind up with all these different civilizations at the same time. Well, the Bible has an answer for that. Well, you know, eventually, I guess you just get tired of living in trees or something. Yeah, spontaneously generate a civilization just like that. Yeah.

Also, on the head of aliens, we actually had a very noted UFO Grifter commit suicide on the 20th, David Wilcock. Yeah, I saw his name. Again, there'll be people saying that he didn't commit suicide. Yeah. It's very sad, but when you spend much of your life deceiving people and isolating yourself, it's not a good way to live your life. It's very sad to see that, though. Yeah.

Real Jason Barker. My house was leveled by a tornado, but fortunately another tornado came through and built me a bigger one a month later. Yeah, that's the other thing. You know, tornado in a junkyard, that's some of the easiest ways to refute this idea of evolution. And as one person pointed out, let's say that I got a bunch of papers on my desk and they're all disordered and everything. And I've got the window open. And somehow you got a wind that comes through and that wind is going to put everything in order. No, that doesn't happen. It takes intelligence. takes design to put that in order. If you add something like wind or chaos or a big bang

or whatever to something that doesn't have an intelligence that's ordering it, it just gets even more disordered. That's the reality. They use that example of, well, if you have infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters, eventually they'll compose all the works

of Shakespeare. But the thing is, that misframes it because a monkey is something that has fingers and could punch a typewriter. It has some sort of will there These forces that they're saying created everything have no will.

They're not a monkey at a typewriter. They have no basis and statistics or mathematics to do that either. What happens if you multiply zero times zero times zero times zero? You don't get some infinitely large number. And that's basically what you're talking about, the probability of some intelligent coordinated design and all this stuff. They're right. It is like a Shakespeare novel.

But it's not going to be done at random. What they do with all that stuff, Travis, is they basically throw in an infinite amount of time. And so it's a very clever trick. If you can't imagine an infinite amount of time and who among us can't. It's something we can't really even fathom. If you throw that in, then of course, oh, well, now I guess since I can't understand that, I guess that could be a creative force. I don't know.

No, the reality is that you don't get something from nothing. You never do. There always had to be some pre-existent thing, self-existent. That is the very definition of God. And so the atheists don't have a theory that can even stand a logical scrutiny. The only thing that stands to scrutiny is that there is a creator God that is above and outside of the system that always existed. That is God. That's why the heavens declare his glory. And day after day, they pour out speech. Yeah, I've said this before. But the Bible makes sense. where it's supposed to make sense, and it doesn't make sense where it's supposed to not make sense.

In the sense of, you can't wrap your mind around the concept of an infinite god fully. You can understand that, yeah, there is a god, but he has to be infinite for it to make sense, and therefore it doesn't make sense because you're limited. We're all finite.

There's no possible way for us to grasp these concepts. Yeah, that's right. We have Jason Barker again, says, so if we don't stand with Israel, then it would be the end of the U.S. say, more like the other way around. Israel would not exist without our continual welfare to them. That's absolutely right. Well, let's talk a little bit about a guy who is not only a Zionist, but he is also a, he's somebody who is a technocrat. I think the better term is techno-fascism. I haven't used that

because the problem is the left calls everybody that's not that far left. They call everybody else a fascist. So it's an overused term. It's an abused term. It's kind of lost its meaning, kind of like racist. Yeah, there are racist out there, but they call everybody racist. So from that standpoint, it loses its ability. He's got an American dream. It's not your American dream. It's his dream. His dream of an American empire. And so he put together, this is Alex Carp, the CEO of Palantir, and just to fill you in on the background, you probably heard me talk about this before. But Peter Thiel was the chief venture capitalists who put this together. Alex Carp has been the guy that has run this, and both of them have been fixtures at Bilderberg for a very long time, especially Alex Carp.

And he has made all his money selling surveillance to tools and control tools like that to governments. And so he has put together his manifesto. That's another red flag. Whenever you see somebody put together a manifesto, it says this person is something of a megalomaniac and a narcissist. See, that's why I don't keep a diary in case something ever happens. Someone finds it. That's what it's going to be called.

And you're like, manifesto found. And you don't want that headline. Yeah, but especially when you call it a manifesto yourself. And what it is, is it's a distillation. He did this a couple of days ago. It came out with 22 points. Kudos to him for not having to make it something ending in zero or five. That's what people typically do, right?

in which case they usually wind up patting it with some unnecessary stuff. But he came up with 22 points. And it is a distillation of what was in his book, the Technological Republic. I thought that was a very important book to read. I got it on the day that it came out. And I talked about it. Some on the show as well. Nobody cared at all.

Nobody cares about that. And I look at Palantir for the longest time. I thought it's one of the most dangerous things. since slice bread because they want to slice our society up like the bread slicer. Okay. So I've always been on Palantir, and I thought it was amazing the hubris and the fact that they basically owned what they were all about. There was a reason talks about it.

And they said, well, there's going to be all these people making all these Lord of the Ring analogies. It's like, hey, it's the company itself that's making all these Lord of the Ring analogies. they're the ones that came up with Palantir, and that is their emblems, like a crystal ball with a, you know, like a V-shaped thing over, which maybe it's the hands on it or something.

But I said for the longest time, and it was part of their corporate culture. If you go to their website where they're talked about themselves, you know, all this stuff about the shire and this and that. And I said, no, actually what they're telling you is they are the eye of Sauron. And if you know the Lord of the Rings, actually they're really more like Sauron.

So that has been their design for the longest time. And I pointed out when I did my report on it. I said, you know, if you think about the Palantir from Lord of the Rings, it was a this kind of this crystal ball that was designed for the kings to be able to communicate with each other to long distance, right? So it's kind of similar to the Internet. You know, the Internet was about communication over long distance and things like that. And then what happened was the evil side, Sauron, or Saur Man or whatever, but it's actually Sauron, took that over.

And he used it as something where if you think that you're going to communicate or see something somewhere else, they wound up perverting it and giving it the kind of power where it could see into you. And I said, that's exactly what this is, because it's geospatial intelligence. You use the Internet. And this thing is looking at what you're looking at. It's looking at where you're going or whatever. It's getting all this geospatial intelligence and it's scraping all your personal

information and it is looking inside of you to predict and to manipulate you. And so that's what it's really about. And his book was not about creating a republic. His book is about creating an American empire, a militarized empire that is aggressive, that is attacking other people, like the empire that we've got today under Trump. That's exactly what this guy wanted to have. it's what the technocrats want to have and so this has nothing to do with the republic it's all about dominance

power centralization these are the aspects of empire they are not the aspects of the republic the republic is about power being distributed amongst the people this is not about that at all this is not your American dream this is your American nightmare

it is his dream of empire of a techno-fascist empire And so let's take a look at some of the things that he talks about. Again, this guy worships the state. And if you look at his 22 points, I think it helps to understand that what this really is, is this is a marketing proposal. He is talking to people in government and bureaucrats who themselves worship the state, worship power, want centralization, want an empire.

That's where he's made his money. He's made a lot of it, especially with Trump. But he was getting very big with that before, and he's doing a lot of work for governments. And it should raise people's concerns as to what the designs of these people are. And yet, he gets a pass on this. A lot of people don't pay attention. He's now starting to get some attention finally. And so let's take a look at his different points.

The very first one, Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley have an affirmative obligation to participate. in the defense of the nation. Well, the bottom line is that when you look at everything he wants to do, what he's essentially saying throughout his book is that, yes, they owe a debt to American society, but let's rebel against it. As a matter of fact, that's kind of how he summed up his book. So the rebellion is against the rule of law.

The rebellion is against the culture, against the morality that created this. nation. That's what they're rebelling against. So yeah, they owe a debt, but they think that their debt is paid simply by making the American Empire a great military power and keeping it that way. And so he's not looking at liberty. He's not looking at the rule of law. He's looking at empire. He's looking at power. And that's the key thing. You know, that's the subtitle of his book is about power. And that's the only thing this guy is concerned about. That's why people are saying he's monologuing like a super villain that's out there.

So he says, free email is not enough. The decadence of culture or civilization will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. So he thinks that if you are not out there trying to dominate other people or make money, you know, then you're decadent, right? And yet the reality is that there's decadence, the kind of decadence that he is turning the other cheek on. He does call out the woke society and other thing,

because he sees it as weak and as a weakness. Sorry to cut you off. Lance and I are about to trade places, and we've got a comment here that I do want to read from Radisbro. I want to say thank you very much for the tip. And this is about David Wilcox. Says, was that real? Haven't found anything concrete on that.

I have followed him for a long time. and his guy at TV days says, oh man, yeah, it seems to be real. Most sources are reporting on it. So I do think he has killed himself. Well, I saw that he was found dead. I didn't know, yeah. Allegedly, he called the police, and when they got there, he shot himself. Oh.

That's what I've seen. It's very sad. If you would like a good channel on YouTube that does a lot of deep dives into UFO grifters, It's called Truth Seekers Show. You can check that out. He's done a really good job covering David Wilcock and his many scams over the years. But it seems to be real, and again, very sad to hear that.

Well, if he had something on something called Gaia TV, I've talked many times about the Gaia theory. That's not something that you can put your trust into at all. Well, let's get back to this because we got Joe Slinty coming up in just a couple of minutes. I wanted to get through some more of this. So he says the question again is not whether AI weapons will be built, but it's who's going to bill them and for what purpose. In other words, he is selling this arms race idea to the people, hey, if you don't do it, the other guys are going to do it and they will rule you. He says, National Service, and this is one of the things that really got him headlines with this.

National service is a universal duty. We should all, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares. and the risk and the cost. Well, how about we ask the question of what the purpose of the war is? Is it justified or not? None of that kind of stuff ever comes into play with these people. They have absolutely zero understanding of a just war. And, of course, the empires always love slaves.

So, yes, you should be enslaved to fight the wars that they want to do. He also says that limits of soft power of soaring rhetoric, alone have been exposed. The ability of a free and democratic society to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. Really? It requires hard power. And hard power in this century will be built on software. And he has the, it keeps coming back to that theme where he talks about. Yeah, the previous power distribution was over nuclear power, you know, nuclear bombs, right? And so now we have to make it over artificial intelligence. That's the new nuclear bomb. Well, if you're going to make your hard power based on software? I'm sorry,

what are the, why do we call it hardware? Why do we call it software? Well, you know, hardware is fixed, isn't it? Right? It is a fixed physical thing. The software is not. It's kind of ephemeral. It's constantly changing. It's constantly, it's volatile. It's constantly being manipulated and that type of thing. That is not the basis for anything that is real. That's what we talk about, the difference between hardware and software. And we see it all the time. I mean, just look at your phone. You get an update and all of a sudden it's busted.

Or we're going to put all of the military under software control and it gets hacked. Or we have an error in it and we take it down ourselves without knowing it. It's not the basis for anything, but it's what he's selling. That's what I said. If you understand what he's doing, some very dangerous stuff, I think the most dangerous aspect of artificial intelligence is a way to be co-opted by government, especially by the military and by the police state. That's what we should be concerned about.

We've got Jack Dorsey out there. You've got, I don't, I'm just going to summarize some of the stuff because we've got to go really quickly. Jack Dorsey is saying, well, I want to, he's just fired about 40% of his company. He went from 10,000 employees down to 6,000. And he says, I want to use AI to make sure. that I'm only like two or three levels different from any given employee. And I want to get that down to where it's just one to one.

Well, if he keeps going the way he's going, he'll be down to just one employee pretty soon. Fire everybody just keep his AI bots around him. But you've got Mark Zuckerberg kind of doing the same sort of thing. He's working very hard to make a 3D avatar that's going to look very real. You know, turn around and, you know, as it turns, it'll have his side profile and all this kind of stuff. You talk about the ultimate narcissism. And the purpose of that, he says, he's going to imbue this AI avatar of himself and a full 3D representation. He's going to give it the way that he thinks and so forth.

So you'll be able to ask Mark, what do I, what should I do about this? What do you think about this? And his avatar, his AI, will tell you what he would like for you to do. I mean, you talk about the ego of these people. It truly is astounding. And there was, let me just throw this in as well. There was also a story about an AI store that a couple of guys who have a business, AI business that they want to help people with AI that's going to help them manage their stores.

So what they did was they set up a credit card account, put $100,000 on it, and then turn it over to AI and said, you start up your store. store with this small retail store selling candles and some things like that so it came up with its own design did its own website did some of the other stuff like that and they said yeah it did a pretty good job problem is first day it forgets to staff any humans so there's nobody in the store and so yeah this this is kind of a characteristic of AI slop they can do all these can design products can do a store layout and all this other kind of advertising website but how do we get the product on the shelf and how do we how do we handle people coming through the door the actual where the rubber

meets the road type of thing so there's some major blind spots and all this stuff but the key thing that i took away from Alex carp's book which was really frightening and we've seen some very frightening proposals from this guy i mean he he gets uncontrollably excited about the money that he's making about the people that he's killing i mean we've seen clips from this guy where he's boasting about that yeah, we're going to wipe those people out. You're going to criticize Israel. We'll just take you out next time. That's what should let us do.

And, of course, he's been working very hard with ICE to identify people because that is the prototype for the police surveillance state. What ICE is doing. And Palantir is right there. These contracts have exploded under Donald Trump. And so he puts stuff in like this in terms of, again, I said, this is a best read as a marketing. document to the people, but he's selling stuff to. He says, public servants need to be our priests.

Our priests? He says, yeah, we have had a lot of priests and pastors who have abused children haven't we? So I guess it's a little bit of an overlap in the Venn diagram. And any business that compensates its employees in the way the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. Now, if you are a bureaucrat, don't you want to buy product from this guy? He's on your side. He wants you to get a bigger salary. And if you are one of the people running the government, he thinks that it is a, that you deserve more grace. He said, we should have more grace of those who have subjected themselves to public wife. The eradication of any space for forgiveness, a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and the

contradictions of human nature that are there. So yeah, let's just give these guys, let's cut them some slack. You know, it's a tough job. And, you know, Bill Clinton and Trump, you know, they just need to blow off some steam and go to Epstein Island, right? We shouldn't judge them. You know, don't judge me, bro. So we should cut them some slack.

And we should understand just how important. Now, we should understand that the bureaucrats are priests. I mean, do you know what a priest is? You know, a priest is somebody that was supposedly representing you to God, you know, in a sense, go between between you and God. So is he the God that we're going between? I don't know why he visions that, envisions that, I should say. But he says, no other country in the world, in history of the world,

has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect, but it is. It's easy to forget how much more opportunity exist in the country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. And it talks about how it's made possible an extraordinarily long peace, except it hasn't. We have been at a constant state of war since the end of World War II. And it's because we are an empire. We're not talking about pulling up the drawbridge and living on our own.

that was not what the founders wisely were talking about. They said, let's have peaceful commerce and relations with people, but not any entangling alliances. And we don't want to get caught up in their wars. Certainly, you don't want to start a war. I mean, that was just understood. And so he said, we need to applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act.

Why did the market not act? Was there no demand or interest for this? Is it because you're pushing, and making a lot of money off of something that nobody wants. I really don't understand what he's doing. By the way, you know that Gerald is joining us. And has he not joined us yet? He is not.

Oh, okay. All right. Well, let me know when he does. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. So this is a guy who's running the surveillance state. He wants to know everything about you, but we shouldn't have any ruthless surveillance.

of the politicians who rule us. Isn't that so, is that newsworthy? Or we've been seeing this for the longest time. As I say, they demand to know everything about you. But you are not allowed to know anything about them. Personally, not allowed to know anything about what they do. As a matter of fact, if we get a ceasefire, we're not allowed to even see what the ceasefire is.

You've got Lindsey Graham saying, yeah, we don't need to have a vote or a discussion about the war. He can just go to war. But if we're going to have a peace, we need to talk about that. I need to see that peace proposal and the Congress needs to vote on a peace proposal, but not on war. I mean, we just get to do whatever we wish with it. It truly is amazing. He makes us pitch for the police state as well. He says, Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime.

Many politicians across the U.S. have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime. Well, you know, they do that when it comes to potholes as well. Have you got a fix at Pallantir for potholes or building roads or anything? No, you don't have that either, do you? Okay. Well, he says violent crime. They shrug when it comes to that, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or to take on any risk with their constituencies or donors

and coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save our lives. there we go. Got to have a surveillance police state for safety, right? And you need to be strong and, you know, take the criticisms of the people who don't want a police state. You need to understand that it's in their best interest. Yeah, the market may not like this, but we're going to shove this down your throat, just like a police state.

And we want to save your lives. We're doing this for your own good. You just are too stupid to understand that, right? It is a pretty amazing manifesto. And again, I'm rushing through this. There's a lot of other points that I wrote down that I didn't have time to cover. But just to pull back and look at the perspective, Palantir paid zero federal income tax in 2025 as it partnered with ICE and the Pentagon. This is a guy who is cheerleading the government, milking the government.

He wants people to be drafted so they got some skin in the game. But he's not even going to pay some of his exorbitant profits. and taxes. Utter hypocrisy. So we need to go fight his wars for him. We need to go kill the people that his AI targets.

But he's not going to pay any taxes. He's going to get money from the government. It's kind of like Planned Parenthood, right? They get tax-exempt status. They get government money as well. And we must not question any of that. Palantir has landed multiple massive contracts. under the Trump administration, $1.6 billion in net income last year.

So the stock more than doubled in value, the first half of 2025 alone. And report to shareholders, the company said it was crushing expectations in terms of growth with revenue growing, and that was their term, crushing. Revenue growing 93% year over year by the end of 2025. And with all that, they pay nothing. in taxes. We've seen this movie over and over again, haven't we? The practice has been present for many years, but it got worse under the Trump administration

and the tax breaks pushed as part of the one big beautiful bill and the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act, right? But your responsibility is to buy their products, pay for your surveillance, and go fight their wars for them. And when he talks about his profits and how they're crushing expectations, he also loves the fact that they are crushing the enemies of America and Israel. He is part of the Zog. He is part of the Zionist-occupied government, no doubt about it. There's at least 88 major profitable U.S. companies that have avoided paying any federal income taxes in 2025.

Palantir is one of them. Tesla is another one. Companies like Southwest and United Airlines, military contractors like Honeywell, utility companies like the American Electric Power, Dominion Energy and Duke Energy, and even an entertainment company like Walt Disney. There's an article just came out last couple of days

talking about how much they have raised their prices at the parks. And interestingly enough, Karen's mom is here visiting us, and we were, showing her some movies of when the boys were very young, you know, three to six years old, and we took them to the park. And it would cost $219, I think, was the amount that they've raised it to per person, per park, per day.

It's absolutely unbelievable. And, of course, Disney World opened up in Orlando, which wasn't very far from where I lived in Tampa. It was only about an hour drive from where we lived. And when it opened up, I remember my dad who was very frugal about things. And one of the things that got him most excited about Walt Disney World was that had no admission fee.

And so we had to drive over there and drive an hour and go over there. And you paid for parking and it was reasonable. And you could walk into the park and you could eat at the restaurants. And they were reasonable as well. You know, they had restaurants who were all different levels, you know, whatever you wanted to spend. You could go get a burger at the Pinocchio house or whatever. And so you could just walk around.

around the park and then taken the fireworks at the end of the night. They sold the rides had tickets, books of tickets. And so you could buy a book and you could use it multiple visits. You didn't have to, it wasn't until Michael Eisner came in that they had this big fee and now all the rides are free once you get in. And then that created a problem because when you start to make stuff free, everybody piles in on it. You know, the tickets were a way to ration things and then you wound up was such a big line that you couldn't get into anything. But that's just typical of what is happening. Look at how the price of that has gone sky high.

I mean, we couldn't afford to take the kids to see that today. Not that I would want to because of what Disney has become. But they pay zero taxes. They also get tremendous amount of subsidies for their fireworks, saying they're doing it for some kind of a government study or something like that. So, again, the government that, this has been. become, he's not talking about a technocratic republic or technological republic. He is talking about an empire. Everything this guy wants to do is about war and empire. War is the lifeblood of the

state, especially when that state is a bureaucratic empire as the American government is. It absolutely is a very disturbing document to see what he put there. And he has a matter of fact, other countries like the UK, they're very concerned about this as well when they look at the contracts that their government has put in. Well, we have Gerald Sinty ready to join us. And so I want to cut and go to him before we do. Birdhouse Blues has a comment. Palantir sells branded shirts, apparel, and accessories on their official web store for $65. And they're sold out. I wonder if I wear a Palantir shirt, does that give me a pass on some of the flocked and the biometric surveillance.

Oh, he's a good guy. He's got one of our shirts. Let's leave him alone. I don't know. What they need to sell is some of those camouflaged shirts that confuse the cameras and the ones that are reading what you're doing. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with Gerald Salenti. And we're going to talk about where we are with this empire that has taken us to war

and keeping us in war. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. You're listening to the David Knight Show. I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want. Nobody's swimming in the straits, though. It should be ending pretty soon.

Yeah, ending pretty soon. Well, CNN put together a montage of how many times, as Donald Trump told us, that the war is going to end pretty soon? Here we are, eight weeks into the war that was going to last for three or four weeks. It's going to be finished pretty quickly. I do see a deal. in Iran?

Yeah. Mr. President. Could be soon. We are going to finish the job, and we're going to finish it very fast. We're getting very close. I think it's close to Ove. I mean, I view it as very close to Oval.

I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want. And it should be ending pretty soon. Yeah, it should be. It shouldn't have started it in the first place, but that's where we are right now. We're still trying to get some audio with Gerald, and we're having some issues with it.

So I'm going to, we're going to talk about the war as well as the economy and gold and other things like that when we get Gerald on. But when you look at what Trump is doing, I got to say, I'm getting so sick and tired of the lies from the sky and the fact that he's changing his story constantly. As one article, I think it's from RT put up, you know, he told seven lies in just one speech, constantly flipping positions on this stuff. It's not just taco. The guy is constantly throwing out false narratives just to see how people are going to react to it or for his own aggrandizement or to try to make things more popular. I saw yesterday on the drudge report, the headline, they had a picture at the very top of the drudge report. They had Trump and Jimmy Carter. And they said Trump has now approached the popularity of Jimmy Carter.

I've been saying that for a long time. I've said for the longest time, haven't I, that Trump was going to be the Jimmy Carter of the GOP. As a matter of fact, I think he's going to be worse for the GOP than Jimmy Carter was for the Democrats. And for good reason. You know, Jimmy Carter was horrible. His policies were horrible. He had this general malaise of, well, we're failing and there's nothing we can do about it. We're in decline. Well, Trump is out there boasting about how everything is successful and yet people can see exactly the opposite is true. And that's even more damaging, I think. Because then, you know, when you know that you're being lied to about it. You see the reality of what is happening there. And of course,

he's not a nice person either. By all accounts, Jimmy Carter came across as a nice guy, but certainly not Donald Trump. So I think he's going to be far more of an albatross around the neck of the Republicans than Jimmy Carter ever was, and for good reason, I think. So his messaging on Iran has shifted in three days since he said that Tehran agreed to everything. You know, he says they don't have any capability to shoot down our planes and then immediately you have several planes that have been shot down right after that happens they don't have any missiles left then they do a big barrage of missiles they can't close the straight only i can close the street then you have american ships and other ships that are fired upon and so again we immediately see everything the man

says is a lie and so um i think instead of taco they should say uh uh tell you know it's kind of a tell And just like when he says that something about 92%, that's the number that he always throws out when he's just making it up. It's 92% finished, the war is, or whatever. He always throws that out there. I think it should be, instead of taco, it should be tell. Trump, everything is literally a lie, right?

That is the tell. So again, the president has shared contradictory statements. That's the way CBS News puts it. because now they're owned by one of his donor owners. And so you don't want to say that Trump is lying. You just want to say he has shared contradictory statements. It's kind of like what happened with the Bezos satellite. They put it up.

They got it in the wrong orbit. And it's going to have to fall down from the sky. So they don't say, we got it in the wrong orbit or we screwed up. They say it was in a suboptimal position. and it's going to have to be returned or whatever. You know, they'll always couch it in some flowery language to try to hide the meaning. But he's not sharing contradictory statements, folks. He is flat out lying telling the New York Post on Monday morning that the U.S. delegation,

including Vance, would arrive in Islamabad Monday night, but after the president said that a White House official said the U.S. delegation had not even left yet. But rather, it plans to travel to Islamabad, Islamabad soon. We don't know when, but soon. He says it's already going to be landing there today. Without a date given, Iran said Monday that it has no current plans to return to the peace talks. So again, nothing, you know, why cover somebody who is a known liar when there's absolutely nothing that the guy says that is true? Friday afternoon, April 17th, Trump says Iran has, quote, agreed to everything.

Then Friday evening, Trump says, I don't think there's too many significant differences still with Iran. Wait a minute. You just said they agreed to everything. Now you're saying, well, we got our differences, but I don't think there are too many that are significant. Now, the president said little about Iran on Saturday. Then on Sunday morning, April 19th,

Trump said that without a deal, the whole country is going to get blown up. We've heard that before as well. then Sunday morning Trump says if Iran doesn't take a deal the U.S. will knock out every single power plant and bridge and he says no more than Mr. Nice Guy You know we knew that when he got elected president

there was no more Mr. Nice Guy from anybody there Monday morning April 20th Trump says if the ceasefire expires and a lot of bombs are going to start going off so again you know I really am getting tired reporting every phony statement that this insane clown puts out there. None of it is true. It's just ridiculous.

The entire world is watching an insane U.S. president destroy the global financial economy. That's the headline from Brian Shulhaviot Health Impact News. He's absolutely right. He just jumps from one insane thing to the next. we had the Israelis have now put a lot of people questioning well if you know and you verified

that this is actually something that was done by an Israeli soldier it's not AI it's not something is made up it's not from some different time or something you know this is actually done why are these people being punished well they came out and said yeah we've we've got two guys who got the guy who did it the guy who took the picture they posted it up and there was another six guys that were there so there's eight of them and we're going to give them 30-day

in jail for this. And people are saying, well, oh, and they also replaced the Jesus statue that is there. And a lot of people are saying, well, when are you going to replace all the churches that you bombed? When are you going to replace all the homes that you bombed? Because you've been targeting residential areas. You've been destroying church buildings. And when you look at it, the absolute hatred that the IDF, the Israeli defense forces,

have for Christians, for Christianity is endemic in Israel. We're going to talk about racism and hatred. This is not simply hate speech. This is actually hate and violence that are directed to Christians from Israel, just like the Muslims do. And yet even more so, you have in other Muslim countries before the U.S. goes in and before Israel goes in, you have for thousands of years in Iraq and Syria and in Lebanon, you have Christian communities that are there, even though they're under Islamic rule, they still are allowed to participate and to exist. Not when America gets in there, the people that they put in power, when the Israelis get in.

They want to kill everybody that's there. And so part of the fallout that has come from this continued war from Donald Trump is a new restored nuclear arms race. And now everybody realizes that, hey, if I don't want to get attacked by these thugs in America, or if you're in the Middle East, by Israel, if I don't want to get preemptively attacked by this gang of criminals and pirates, I need to have some way to protect myself. And the nuclear weapons are a political weapon, really, as many people pointed out. Not so much that people would use it because of the mutually assured destruction, but it is at least a deterrent. against that kind of aggression. It's the only credible deterrent that anybody's got.

So the reality is, is that if Trump says that the purpose of this was to stop nuclear proliferation, it's done just the opposite. You got people who are part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty that are getting out of it. And, of course, Israel was never a part of that, but some of the people who were pulling out now. Many other countries are saying, hey, we need to have nuclear weapons. It's the only way that we can defend ourselves against the United States. States. So the world is at risk of a fresh nuclear arms race. So the head of the UN's

atomic agency. And are we ready to have, we got the audio now? Well, I'm not going to, I'm not going to go any further. I'm going to cut right to Gerald. Sorry, Gerald. We had some audio problems. I'm not sure what happened, but I understand that they're fixed now. Can you hear me? Yeah, could you hear me? Yeah, I got you. Yeah, we're good. We're good. Yeah, thank you for joining us again, Gerald Slenty, trendsjournal.com. And you can find samples that. You can see the covers there at trendsjournal.com. And you can see some samples of the articles. And it is very important information in terms of trends. And you can save 10% off with the code night. Thank you for joining us, Gerald. Always great to have you on. Thank you. Yeah. It's a 10% off. It's the grand total of about

$2.50 a week. Wow. And it's about 200 pages. And we're giving people that they're not getting in any other magazine in the world. That's right. And I'm not making that up. Go to YouTube. Look at the comments of the people that subscribe. It's a great resource and it's a really nicely produced online magazine as well. And you can listen to it as well if you don't want.

You could print out the PDF, et cetera. You know, I was listening to before we got cut off. And every day it's another lie coming out of Trump's mouth. Isn't that amazing? With this in front of everybody's eyes. that he gets away with it. What, you know, Heil Hitler. It is, yeah.

And if you're the guy that's in the crowd, we've all seen that picture that circle around him, he's standing there, he's the only one that doesn't have his arm up in the air to Hitler, right? They eventually got to him as well. That's kind of what it's been in the media space, hasn't it? And again, you know, it's, you know, I went now economic update that went out yesterday.

We go fake or real lies the truth. And we go on, go to yesterday's edition of CNBC and read the article. This is Monday we're talking about. Oil falls as investors assessed messaging on Iran peace talks ahead as ceasefire deadline. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Trump said an interview on Monday. You ready?

Mm-hmm. That bombs will start exploding inside. Iran if Tehran refuses to agree to the U.S. terms to permanently end the war. Asked by a reporter from PBS news about what can be expected if no deal is reached. Trump said, this is his quote. Then lots of bombs start going off. Yeah, he's got all worked out with me. Yeah.

That was Monday. Yeah. And then we go on to say. this is on Tuesday. This is what CNBC headline published at 8.40 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday. Trump tells CNBC he expects U.S. to make, quote,

great deal, end quote, with Iran. Yeah, it's just all bold. As the result, as we wrote, the U.S. dollar edged higher and gold prices sunk low. It's just amazing how he's manipulating markets, isn't it, with all these lies? How long is he going to get away with this? I mean, he's telling everybody what they want to hear, and then he and people inside his administration

are making big bucks off of this betting on polymarket and other places like that. Then he comes out and it completely contradicts himself and it goes in the other direction. You talk about in your face corruption in addition to the lies. It's just amazing. Right in front of everybody. How about that guy Chris Wright in the company that he's in that little clown boy? That's our, uh, uh, was it, Secretary of Energy. Hey, hey, we've got, we've got naval ships that are going to bring the oil tankers through the state.

The whole moves are right? And boom, down goes oil prices. And then the company that he runs, there's an article in last week's Trends Journal, don't pay a penny of taxes. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah, they're just manipulating the markets. It's amazing to me.

That's why I said, I can't even. And Gerald, I can't even really report this stuff because none of it is real. And he keeps telling the same lies over and over again. And so now the last one I've seen is that he's now saying, well, we've got an indefinite ceasefire. What does that mean? You know, is that really real? Again, we don't want to tell anybody what we're doing. We don't have a discussion.

We don't have a vote. A declaration of war. Lindsay Graham says we've got to have a vote if we're going to have peace. We got to be careful about that peace. That's really dangerous. This is your article in this week's TransJournal. Energy Secretary writes, Liberty Energy paid no U.S. taxes in 2025. And they made a ton of money.

Oh, yeah. It's a crime syndicate. Again, it was an Italian guy by the name of Mussolini. The merger of state and corporate powers is fascism. That's right. That's right. And so don't call me an anti-Italian. I'm a monopolitano born in the Bronx.

Oh, but if I'm against Israel, I'm an anti-Semite. Hey, I'm against Mussolini. Why, you anti-Italian? I hate Hitler. Why you anti-German? I hate Netanyahu and the Zionist crime syndicate. Why, you anti-Semite? Yeah.

That's the crap they spew out. That's right. Yeah, you're talking about, we were talking just before you came on about Palant here. They paid no taxes either. And yet, they get massive amounts of government money. and they are setting up techno-fascism. He's making all of his money. He doesn't pay any taxes,

and yet he's demanding that they bring back the draft. And he says, oh, you shouldn't be able to have any say-so. You shouldn't have a vote unless you have done service, unless you've been drafted and fought in our wars. Yeah. Hey, Hey,

a sly ball, go over there and fight right now. Yeah. All right? Go over there. What's your favorite war, you little piece of crap? Go over there and go.

fight. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody that supports war, put on your costumes, go over there or shut your damn mouth. Go to Israel. Go to Ukraine. I'll shut your damn mouth. Well, you know, Gerald, that's one of the things that Alex Karp said. He said, we can't have a situation where the elite have no skin in the game. They need to be subject to this kind of stuff as well. And it's like, yeah, when has that ever happened? And, of course, he's not doing that right now. He's young enough that he could go fight. He could sign up and go fight. And the war is just like Eric Trump or Trump's other kids except for the only one that's

too old to go fight is Don Trump Jr. But all the rest of them could sign up for any of the military services. That's right. Anybody that supports a war overseas, get the hell out of there and go fight or shut your little mouth. That's right. Yeah, you know, I've told the story before. they didn't, you know, when you look at World War II, they didn't need a draft. You had people like my dad and all my uncles after Pearl Harbor, they signed up.

You know, they didn't need, you know, they believed that they were doing, they were defending the country and they all signed up for the war. They didn't need to draft them. And if you've got a justified war or people think that it's justified, and maybe you've got a false flag to make them think that, but if they think that the war is justified, they will sign up. So maybe what we ought to do is go to a situation where we don't have anything other than a volunteer army where people sign up if they think the war is justified. How about that? That would be our referendum that we have on a war. If you think that the war is justified, you can sign up to go

fight for it. Otherwise, if you don't have any soldiers, you don't have a war. Well, look, what's going on in Germany. Now they want to put back to drift. Yeah. Yeah. You like World War won't it Germans? And I like World War II better, you know? Again, it's all a bunch of crap. And again, where the hell of the religion is trying to stop this, as I said? This is serious because they're not going to end this war. Israel's going to keep it going. One of the demands that Iran has made is that Israel has to stop bombing and stealing

land in Lebanon. They've killed thousands of people. Over a million people have been thrown out of their homes. That's right. That's right. And so there's not going to be a peace deal, and I'm concerned they're going to go nuclear. Yeah. Israel, they have the Samson option. They say if they lose, they're going nuclear.

There's no way, there's no way that the United States and Israel are going to be able to defeat Iran. Yeah. Unless they go nuclear. That's right. That's right. And, you know, when you look at this situation with the Israeli soldiers who smash up, you know, they tear down. the statue of Jesus on the cross and smash him up, right? What is significant about that?

It's not the statue, but it's as many people said, yeah, well, what about this? Look at all the residential areas that you bombed to rubble. You're not going to do anything about that. They go back out and they replace it. It's a major PR issue for them because, A, it shows the hatred inside this organization. B, if they go in and they bomb a residential area, they can say, oh, that's just the fog of war. We don't really have any control of that. things like that happened. This was something that was right there and you could see there wasn't any way

they could explain that away, right? People could see exactly what was happening with that. And that is really the issue there in Lebanon. And it's what the Israeli government is doing. I mean, even to the extent that they're now making, just as Trump is talking about his next war with Cuba, they're talking about their next war with perhaps Turkey. Some people said, well, maybe that's why Trump is saying he's got to get out of NATO so he doesn't have this in. inherent conflict if Israel and Turkey mix it up with each other. And of course, they need to for their greater Israel plan. They want all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates and part of the Euphrates runs through Turkey. So it means they're going to have to go to war with Turkey as well. They're

more than willing to do that. Well, God gave him that land. It's in the good book. Chapter 6, Section 8. Don't you know that? Section 8. Yeah, the insanity clause. for Klinger on MASH. That's really what it should be. It should be the Section 8 section that they're... Yeah, I mean, and again, what's going on, how they're rigging the markets. It's just a joke.

A sick joke what they're doing. And again, we're writing about this in your magazine, the Trends Journal. I say to what they said at 840 a.m. that Trump says that I expect to be bombing because that would be a better... attitude. And he said that the price that there's going to be a peace deal. Now, this is CNBC headline yesterday, 255 p.m. Stocks fall as oil jumps on fear Iran negotiation breaking down.

CBS notes. Donald Trump's on Tuesday said he thinks the U.S. is going to end up with a great deal with Iran to end the week-long war. even as he said he does not expect to extend the ceasefire. Yeah. To expire on Wednesday. That's today. I'm not going to extend it, all right? Yeah, well, he wanted all the people in Iran to take to the streets for regime change.

When they took to the streets, Gerald, it was to protect the infrastructure, the bridges and the power plants and other things like that. they use themselves voluntarily as human shields against this aggression for the United States and Israel. That's when they took to the streets. Yep. Trump said, I think they have no choice. We've taken out their Navy. We've taken out their Air Force. We've taken out their leaders. Then he goes on, it goes on, we go on to say that, you know, then he changes it to say there's going to be a a ceasefire as we detailed by the facts minute by minute

Trump keeps spewing out you know a lot of crap earlier in the day with an interview on CNBC Trump was asked if he would extend the ceasefire deal if one didn't happen tomorrow meaning today he said

I don't want to do that that's what he said yesterday and then what does he do a couple of hours later. It's insane. It truly is. I guess part of this is what does it mean if you've taken out all of their military? What does it mean to have a ceasefire? You know, they keep telling you know, they got nothing to shoot at us anymore. And then we get a missile barrage of, you know, a hundred missiles coming into a particular city or to Lebanon or whatever. And, um, not Lebanon,

but into Tel Aviv. You know, what does any of that mean? As soon as these guys make this kind of announcement with all this hubris, they're immediately shown to be liars. I know. Well, that's, you know, we go to all the media. Like, for example, we go to subscribe to Ha, that's the Israeli newspaper. We pay to go there.

We don't have to pay to go to Jerusalem Post. Times of Israel, why not? We go there. We go to Tehran Times. We go to press TV. We go to IRA, NSA. We go to Tasman. We go to the Iranian sites.

We go to Arabs. we go to Al Jazeera, Arab News, etc. This is what press TV reported yesterday. Iran armed forces don't let, you ready? Quote, lying delusional Trump skew battlefield realities. They call him a lying delusional Trump. Well, they nailed it. That's exactly what he is.

Then they go on to say about the ceasefire. after he said he wasn't going to do one. There are reports that an Iranian official said that, quote, extending the ceasefire has no meaning. And Trump's ceasefire extension is an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack. That's right. Or to assassinate the people who are doing the negotiation for the peace deal. That's one of the reasons that they said,

if there's going to be any more negotiations, the Iranians said we're going to do it in Russia or China because we don't trust you not to kill the negotiators. That's how bad it's become. Yep. So what we're saying is that this war is going to keep going. Israel will not retreat from Lebanon. You know, I had dinner with Dennis Kucinich

and his wife two weeks ago. And Dennis was, he was, of course, you know, congressman from Ohio, ran for president as a peace candidate. He said he went to Beirut a number of times. He said with their bombing over there are upper middle class cities. He said, these are very beautiful places that they're killing all these people

and bombing it to ruin. Because they want the land. That's their project for doing this. You know, I've seen this game before, Gerald. I remember in Tampa, we had some people that, you know, my dad grew up in Tampa, so he had some real estate. He wound up reselling it, you rented it for a while, then he resold it.

And it had run down these various places by the time I was there. But they had a mayor. Sandy Friedman was her name. They used to call her Sandlot Friedman. What they would do is they would come in and they would condemn a property for specious things. You haven't mowed your lawn, so we're going to start hitting you with a massive fine per day. and the people couldn't afford it. Or I'm going to say that you've got to repaint your house,

and they couldn't afford to repaint their house or something. So they'd start hitting them with fines that were $100 a day or something like that. They would get several thousand dollars fines and then come in and condemn it, knock it down, and then turn it over to the big real estate guys, right? That's why they called her Sandlot Friedman. That's essentially what Israel is doing. It's a real estate game. You go in, you condemn the property, and under some absurd basis,

and then what you do is you knock it down and destroy. it so that you can rebuild it better with your people. It's that same game over and over again. Just destroy everything. What they did to Gaza. Yeah. I mean, you look at the pictures what that place looked like before they did this. That's right. And no outrage. Yeah. No outrage. But, but, you know, Trump is positioning himself to be one of the people that's going to build it back. And so, you know, he's going to have the luxury buildings that are going to be in there. And it's a a great location for him, you know, close to the sea or whatever. And so, um, they're going to make a lot of money off of this. It's just ruthless. It's ruthless. I played clips of some ultra-Orthodox rabbis.

And, um, they say, you know, this is, the Torah is against what Israel is doing, they said, because you're not supposed to steal and kill in order to do it. So it's really just basic morality and it's basic grifting economics. It's the kind of thing that real estate people have always done at the local level. doing it internationally. Now, it's so sad. It's heartbreaking. Yeah, it is. You know, I'll tell you, it's on a funnier note, you talked about Tampa.

Remember Red Fox? Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. The great comedian. My brother, I was the youngest, he had red, I still have the records, 78 red records of Red Fox doing before he was even on television. And one of his lines, and I'm a little kid, I'm like 12 years old, I'll never forget this. Red Fox is brought to court.

I don't know exactly how it went, but this is about basically it. He went to court because the woman that he was with was taken to court because he didn't live up to what it was promised to give her, and she gave him a lot. So the judge says, you know, that you promised to do, that she did certain things for you, that you were going to take her to Florida. And he said, Your Honor, he said,

I never said I was going to take her to Florida. I said I was going to Tampa with her. Did he promise that he would Kissimme her? Yeah, I was going to Tampa with him. So when you mentioned Tampa, Florida, I remember that as a kid. I just always think that Kissimmee was one of the funniest names that I ever heard. That was in Florida. And one of the stories we had, I had a cousin when he was very young.

Parents said, we're going to go to Miami. He goes, I don't want to go to your amy. I want to go here. So they have some unusual names down there. But yeah, Red Fox, the guy that was in Sanford and Sons, right? Yeah, he was great. Had a long comedy career before that as well. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I have the 78 records, Red Fox, 78. You know, going back to what's going on now, you know, gold prices are going down. It was reported that Russia sold 22 tons of gold. Turkey has sold $20 billion worth of gold. Governments are going broke because of this war. They're going deep in debt. They need to sell out. And people forget, and again, we only put the details in your trends journal.

The equity markets were going down before this Iran war began. The NASDAQ was in correction territory. was down over 10% in March. Because of AI taking over software companies, these hedge funds, the people wanted their money out of private equity groups, they couldn't give it back to all of them. Stocks are going way, way down. The dot-com buster is going to happen. China's leading the world in it.

And they're artificially propping up the equity market. It's going back to gold. Yes, gold price. are going down because, again, people are covering their losses when they bet on gold. They're losing it in the markets. They're covering their losses with it. Yeah. And again, countries. They got good profits and gold. And like you point out, they bought stocks on margin or something like that. Or maybe you are a Middle Eastern country and you're seeing your industry being blown up right now. You know, where are we going to be able to get money?

So, of course, they're going to liquidate some gold. That's right. This is what's going on. Mexico selling it, a number of countries. We list them in the Trends Journal. This is temporary. The worst things get, the higher gold prices are going to go. That's the history of gold. They stay for everybody to look at it. The facts are all there. Yes. You go back to, before things happen, gold prices go down, then they skyrocket like they did 2008, on and on and on. And so they're going down now because they're bailing out. But it's the number one safe, an asset. Yes. And we are in the worst times of our lifetime, as I see it. And I've been at this for 46 years. Well, you've got the American Central Bank has already started printing money again, right?

I already started back with quantitative easing. So regardless of what happens with interest rates, and they may not do that because, you know, people are watching that. So people aren't watching the quantitative easing and the printing of money. So it's very easy for them to do those types of things that are out of view. And those are very inflationary. But you talk about interest rates. What's the interest rate now? What about 3.5, 375, right? What was it when gold was spiking in the late 1970s? 10, 12%. Yeah. Yeah. I always think about our first house that we got, we got a 13% fixed interest rate because we were young and stupid. Well, like my father used to say, youth is wasted on the young. That's right.

He said, talking about you, we say to me anyway. So what we're looking at with interest rates are still very low. And with this guy, Marsh, Warsh, Marsh, Gorsh coming in, that's worth about $226 million. That's going to be the new Fed head. They're going to lower interest rates. And all they'll keep him at the same rate, which is still very low. Yeah. Well, he's coming in.

He's just going to be makeup on the pig. It's kind of interesting his wife as part of the SD Lauder makeup fortune. So this guy is the makeup on the pig, the lipstick on the pig of the Federal Reserve. Perfectly put. Perfectly put. So anyway, that's who we see it going. And we're very bearish on the markets. There's no relationship, again, only by the data.

There's no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street. Again, according to the data, you go Google it up. Vanguard State Street. and Black Rock own 25, over 25% of the S&P 500. And when you look at the value of the stocks that they own in the S&P 500, it's 88% of the value. Wow. That's three companies.

That's right. One percent of Americans own 54% of the equity markets. You put the 10% in, it's 93%, which means 90% of the people have 70% of the market. said nothing. So there's no relationship between Wall Street and Main Street. And there's no relationship to reality either. When you look at the way the markets are moved by the latest pronouncement from this liar in the White House, it's like, what a bunch of sheep they are. You know, they're just, it's whatever they want to believe. And they're running over here and then running over there is like squirrel. You know, they all run over to the other

side. It's amazing. I know. You know, how can you have any confidence investing in a market that is that irrational and that volumin. It's insane. Absolutely insane. Even when you see gold moving as quickly as it is, it's like everything is getting so volatile. It's truly amazing because gold is there is kind of a stable thing. But the price of gold is really reflecting the volatility of the American dollar. Exactly. And the death of the dollar is on the doorstep. It's going to happen. There was an article that came out in Fortune magazine about three weeks. weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, that put the real debt level about $143 trillion, not $38 trillion, when you put in Social Security and other government debt. And so, and then they got to pay the interest rates, the higher they are, the more you have to pay on the debt level. No, this is serious.

The death of the dollar is going to happen. And again, this war has destroyed the global economy. Yes. It's amazing. Isn't it amazing how, you know, we always talk about, well, this guy's got his finger on the button. You know, he could start a nuclear war and Holocaust for the entire world. But this guy has done it to the economy. I mean, he started with an economic war with all these tariffs.

And the way he was doing it was simply to attack other countries and even said that. I can use my tariffs to destroy that country. And I will. If you say something I don't like, you know, I'm going to raise your tariffs to 100%, just like that. And he started attacking Canada of all places. I mean, it was absolutely insane. This guy was just, he's like a madman with a nuclear weapon. And his nuclear weapon is the economy, not just the nuclear bombs that he's got.

Again, you look at the lies that he says over and over again. Yeah, just some of the thing. This is March 2nd. The war starts on February 28th, right? Trump says war against Iran moving quote substantially ahead of schedule. Two days after it started, you ready? Yeah. Keep going.

This is. Well, who are we going to say that it's not ahead of schedule? Because he never put a schedule out, right? Oh, yes, he did. No, he did. He was going to end in four and five weeks. That's right. Yeah.

Yeah. Roughly, yeah. Oh, here is. Here's the quote. Here. This is the quote. on March 2nd. We projected four or five weeks.

We'll do it. Yeah, yeah, there you go. And what did you say? It's two months now, right? Yeah, yeah. All right? Yeah, this is March 3rd. The Air Defense, Air Force, Navy, leadership is gone.

They want to talk. I said, too late. That was March 2nd. You ready? there will be no deal with Iran except, quote, unconditional surrender. That was March 6th.

You ready? If Iran doesn't do anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Ramos, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they've been hit so far. Oh, that was March 9th.

Oh, the Strait of Muz is still closed, aren't they? That's right, yeah. No, it's not right. That's not what the president said. How dare you say that? How dare you say that? The president said if Iran does anything to stop this flow of oil within the straighter moves, they will be hit by the United States 20 times harder than they've been hit so far.

So how dare you say that? You're disrespectful to the president. I can't do the show with you anymore. Well, you know, Mark Levin is bragging about the fact that it was his idea for Trump to blockade the area after it had been closed down by Iran. And it's like, you can't fire me, I quit type of thing. It's ridiculous. And, of course, even after they had Iran opened it up, because they continued their blockade. Iran said, okay, that's it.

We're going to shut it back down again. You know, and everybody is looking at this. As I said, you know, with one of these headlines, the whole world is watching just like we are. It's like, what do we do about this? You know, how do we get this guy out of office? And everybody is asking that globally, you know, what do we do to get this away from it? That's one of the things that is really going to accelerate the demise of the petrodollary. You know, what can they do about this kind of stuff?

Well, everybody has to look at this and say, well, the petrodollar has been the source of economic strength for the United States government. and that economic strength has allowed them to have this kind of power over us. We have to destroy America's economy. And I think there's going to be a concerted effort to do that. I read a ridiculous article from one person that is this the death of the Petro Dollar? No, it actually is going to strengthen it. It's like, what are you talking about? Petro Dollar died a couple of years ago when Saudi Arabia started buying or selling oil

denominated in Chinese Yuan. And we've talked about that. You and I have talked about it with Tony Ardibund, how now China is the bigger customer. We're not really a big customer anymore. And so it is effectively destroyed. But the reputation of the United States is providing some kind of a Pax Americana and saying we're going to be a stabilizing force in the area.

We're going to create an environment of peace and prosperity that people can freely trade with these products. That has been just turned into absolute mockery. nobody can trust the United States as a force of stability. It's become a force of instability. So I think that is one of the, you know, we talk about the different things that are going to be an economic hardship for those of us who live here in America. Part of it is certainly the demise of the petro dollar

and this fiat currency that we've got, the debt that we have and all the rest of the stuff. But we are building up this desire from other countries. We've got to get the United States under control. If they can put somebody like, Donald Trump in office and keep him in there. This is a country that can't be allowed to have that kind of power. You see, again, you're being disrespectful to Trump.

Trump said on October 20th, 2024, I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars. Yeah, that's right. And what you're also forgetting that Trump said is that he's going to be, quote, the most anti-war president in history. So what you're saying, you know, it's not, Trump said his New Year's resolution this year was peace on earth. So how could you keep saying this against us? Somebody just sent me, Gerald.

Somebody just sent me like a Q&on type of thing. And they were talking about how all of this, look at this, everything that Trump has done is just masterful, right? And it's all according to plan. He's he's checkmating these people and all the rest of it. They're still putting that kind of stuff out. I mean, it sounded just like Steve Pachennick as they were kicking off this Stop the Steel nonsense back in 2020. I mean, they're still doing this and people are still falling for it.

It truly is amazing. But, you know, we can look at this and there's really not too many plays for us economically, right? I mean, you know, gold is about it, right? What else, you know, what else? No, that's about it. Yeah. That's about it the way I see. There's going to be a good buyer real estate at some point, not yet.

But so real estate keeps going up, you know, but not for now. No, this is, again, this is a global crisis. All the details are in your trends journal. And again, even the IMF World Bank, one after another is coming out, saying how bad it is. And this is serious times. If we don't have peace on earth, it's going to be hell on earth. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, just look at it's going to affect food.

Everything is going to be affected by this. And even if they were to see. stop right now. It's going to take a very long time for them to get production back up, let alone to unwind this kinked-up supply chain that we've got there. So yeah, it is. And yet, as the energy secretary that you mentioned earlier in the program, right, Trump lost it on this guy because the guy said, well, we're not going to see gas prices coming down until well into 2027 at the earliest. Trump said, no, it's going to come down right away as soon as we get out there. And it's like, man, you know, he can move the markets. It's

Because markets are very volatile and they're very jumpy and they are extremely optimistic, overly optimistic. But the reality is something that is completely different. The kind of stuff that you see at the pump is something that is totally different. Well, it was, we had a short period of time today because we had some technical issues, but it's always great talking to you, Gerald. Thank you so much for joining us. And again, trendsjournal.com.
