of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 5th of August. You're of our Lord, 2006. Today we're going to talk about wars, foreign, and especially domestic. Folks, this domestic war is the surveillance infrastructure that's being built brick by brick right in front of our eyes. What are we going to do about this? We have a, the American people across all of the partisanship that we have on all these other issues. The American people are united against this. How do we unite against this? How do we stand up against this?

We're going to take a look at what they're rolling out here. And again, we're going to take a look at the response from the Republican Party in terms of edging this along. And this is the situation. We're going to talk about what's going on here. A good example. is Tennessee, where you've got three candidates and you've got one guy who is right on the issue and he won't issue a statement on it. We can only infer it from past statements that he's made when he's talking to people. We'll be right, right, right. Stay with us. Folks, we either act now

or we're going to have this boot of tyranny stomping on our face forever, just as Orwell warned. This is going to be a combination of the worst dystopian totalitarian societies that we've seen depicted in fiction. Orwell's 1984, Franz Kafka's The Trial. Just wait and see what happens with this. If we sit here and do nothing but twiddle our thumbs, if we're going to be captured by the partisanship, this is a fatal mistake. We've got the Pentagon planning AI data centers at military bases. Not only is Trump bribing people with massive amounts of money,

bribing local officials and the companies are coming in and signing NDA agreements with them, we've got to stop that. That can be stopped. And we have some candidates here in Tennessee who are talking about doing that. Unfortunately, they're not in the right party. And I got to say that when we look at all of the tranny and the LGBT stuff and the rest of this stuff, you know, I don't want to have to vote for a Democrat. I wish a Republican would stand up and do this or an independent.

that we could support. The problem is this is the fundamental issue. If you don't like what they're doing, imagine what they're going to do when they've got the surveillance state. When we live in a country that is like what Alexander Solzhenitsyn described, he said, don't live by lies. He said, I understand if you resist any of this, they're going to kick you out of your job, kick you out of your home.

They may, in fact, send you to a prison, which they did to him. But he said, we can't live by law. lies. And we can't live with this lie about the surveillance state. All of the nonsense about how we've got to beat China. Are we going to become China in order to beat China? Would that be a Pyrrhic victory or what? And this is all coming from the military. Make no mistake about it. You know, we look at Operation Warp Speed. It was a military who's going to deliver all this stuff and so forth. It was a military that was involved DARPA especially, defense, advanced research projects. And they were the ones who, from very early start, were pushing things like MRN.

They were also there in terms of practicing the lockdown. We're going to lock everybody down until we can get out our experimental vaccine. They were there with the very first one, dark winter. And so make no mistake about it. This is a war against the American people. It's not just the foreign wars that we have that are bankrupting us. And as they eat out their own power in the American Empire, this dying empire. is going to turn inward on us.

The means of defense abroad will be weapons of tyranny at home. That always happens, said James Madison, who wrote the Bill of Rights. And DARPA is the one who is going to be making sure that that happens. Technocrats have pride open federal land for AI data center construction with Trump's executive order called accelerating federal permitting of data center infrastructure. They're waiting to pounce with billions of dollars in large investment. Companies like Black Rock, KKR, Blackstone, Carlisle. So far, it is a feeding frenzy, says Patrick Wood of Technocrity,

TechnocracyNews.com. And, of course, when you look at the corruption from Trump, he's, as usual, got his finger in the till taking money out. I found another stealthier reason why Trump might be obsessed with data centers. For the last two years, Trump has been quietly buying up millions in AI industry, stealth buys. These are the essential companies that are literally building out the AI boom. These companies offer specialized construction skills, they sell water cooling technologies, and they supply the fiber optics with data centers need to work.

We found that at the end of last year, Trump had up to $25 million invested in just a handful of these public firms, all while his administration has continued to roll out even more pro-AI and pro-either. data center policy. This includes firms like Amphanol, a leading picks and shovel supplier for AI data centers. This year alone, Trump has bought and sold up to $2.78 million in stock, and their stock is nearly doubled in value since he took office. Or take a risk to networks, which designed software for hyperscale data center systems. Last year, Trump disclosed owning up to $1.3 million in their stock. This year, he's bought and sold up to $1.6 million more. Or train. A company that supplies in

industrial cooling systems for data centers. Trump owned nearly a million dollars in their stock last year, and he traded another half million so far this year. This pattern also follows for AECOM. Yes, the same engineering company that did Trump's ballroom also does hyper-scale data centers, or for Texas Instruments, or Lind PLC, a chemicals company that creates fabrication materials needed for data centers.

Rinse and repeat for dozens of others. As Trump has made massive trades on these data center suppliers, he's also directed his federal agencies to ease federal permitting for data center construction. This includes allowing data centers to build their own gas-fired power plans and to connect to the grid faster, to skip environmental regulations around clean air and clean water, and to be exempted for many of the same tech-facing tariffs that other industries have to pay. If you really want to understand the AI boom, you have to follow the money, and the money leads directly back to Donald Trump, not just to his donors,

but to the president's own financial disclosures. That is absolutely right. You have to follow the money. You have to look at how this guy is enriching himself. We've never seen anybody in the history of America that is so openly corrupt and self-dealing. But of course, it's also the corporations that are going in. And who knows what money is being passed behind the table as these city council people are signing the NDAs. And if nothing else, they get a massive amount of money. that they can play with and make themselves look good, I guess. But there is a tremendous uprising with this.

And we have to push this and focus on this. This is a vanishing opportunity for us to get everyone together across the board. These things are unpopular because people understand where these things are going. And we have to ask the question. If we're going to use this to fight China, who polices the police? Who watches the watchers? well if we become a country like China where everything that you do is watched just imagine what the next pandemic next lockdown is going to be like well we don't have to imagine we can see what they're doing in China here in America of course not just moving away the

environmental restrictions to let these people come in and do whatever they wish not only the financial incentivization that Trump is bribing local councils with. I mean, just imagine what's going on. They're being bribed by the corporations. They're being bribed by Trump. And, of course, all of this is the same type of thing that we see from the two front-running candidates in Tennessee for Republican governor. Both of them saying, yeah, it's going to be great. It's going to give us a lot of jobs.

Well, you know, they're spending about $70 to $80 million per job created because these things don't create a lot of jobs. After the construction phase is over, there's not any jobs that are created with this stuff. And so this is the usual canard that you see when they're talking about building stadiums or something like that. It is an absolute lie. It is a head fake. But we've seen it over and over again. And that's where Marsha Blackburn and Rose both are in terms of what they're looking at in the future with us, how they're trying to sell it. Oh, it's going to be a great jobs program.

And Trump says that as well. You're going to make so much money because I'm going to send it to you. if you build a police state. Only Fort Bliss and Dougway Proving Grounds have been awarded so far. Even those remain conditional pending negotiation, but beyond them, federal contracting documents show the Army is considering data centers at Fort Hood, Texas, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Dougway is remote by design, although not every site is. Contracting documents, however, show the Army is weighing a parcel at Fort Hood that is within a half-mile,

of residential and commercial property. And of course, that is significant because you look at the noise that comes from these generators 24-7. It is deafening and persistent. Fort Bragg is within one mile of civilian areas and within a half-mile of civilian housing. Excuse me. So we have Army officials say they're ready to go. We're ready to pull this. They said their proposals.

however must include net zero water usage and a power plan that does not draw on the local electrical grid. So they're going to be very noisy. But the good news about this is that they're not going to use the water supply. Is that really the issue? As Metro Hello was pointing, excuse me, as Metro Hale was pointing out, it really is the surveillance aspect. Don't call them data centers. They're surveillance centers. And if we're going to focus, on the water and the power and the noise issues, and those are all big issues. But if we're going to focus on those, they can assuage that. They can come up with recycling water systems and so forth.

It's the surveillance, stupid. That's the real issue, you know, as James Carville said, don't worry about Bill Clinton and his sexual assaults. It's the economy stupid. Well, it's, you know, that was a problem. And the water usage, the power usage, the noise, those are all real problems. But it's the surveillance stupid.

That's what you've got to focus on. Bitters are also required to describe plans for local outreach and engagement. How are you going to assuage people that you are their friend? Yeah, that's what we're seeing over and over again. Don't think this is going to be used for defense, as a matter of fact. Again, like I said, the type of the program, James Madison warned us. Always the means of defense will be the abroad. will be the means of tyranny at home.

And that is especially true when you got these Republican candidates out there saying, well, we got to do it because of jobs and because of China. We got to beat China. We got to be even worse than they are. So, yeah, this is supposedly about fighting crime, is it? Well, as I pointed out, in Atlanta, where Flock is headquartered, they put in 5,000 cameras. What has happened to the crime rate there?

It's actually increased in Syria. serious crimes. And in terms of what you would think they would be able to really have a home run with, because they sell these things as automated license plate readers, you would think that you would see a drop off in car crime in terms of car theft and things like that. No, it was like 0.2% decrease, according to FBI crime statistics. So that's essentially in the noise. It's essentially flat. It had absolutely no effect on fighting crime. But that's not really. what these things are about. When you look at this, the cops in Wapolo County, Iowa, don't want people to know. They've got a usage policy. They say, keep this a secret. Do not mention,

after you use this, don't mention it to the occupants of the car. Don't say anything about it, unless you're being asked by a lawyer in that particular case. Don't lie about it. But don't volunteer this information. Don't let them know. It's a secret, right? Just like the national security. secret. Whenever the government keeps secrets from people, that should be a tip-off, shouldn't it? And so we got a flock employee who's quitting and discussing the company is silencing protesters. He said, make sure this resistance doesn't become a vote that is reflected in the vote of the council. That was his mission statement. He was somebody that was supposed to go out and sell these things as a crime-fighting tactic. We're going to make everybody safe. And we see the

types of underhanded tactics being done here locally in Johnson City and in Knoxville. They're putting out questionnaires to try to push people in these polls and to take the temperature of the public so they know how to manipulate us. A former flock employee has quit the company and discussed saying it lied to workers about how the surveillance cameras are going to be used and then that it used dirty tricks to silence his critics. He joined the company as a government affairs manager two years ago. His job was to represent Flock's product, quote, as best as possible, making sure that we can get approved at the council. That was his mission statement. He said he earnestly believed at the time that the license plate

scanning cameras would help to find missing persons not be used to conduct mass surveillance. But of course, none of this has happened, not even the place where they have the highest concentration of them. His belief in the country's vision was shattered when he was confronted by locals who strongly opposed flock cameras being set up. That's when he realized that his job was in reality to, quote, make sure that this resistance doesn't become a vote that's reflected in the vote of the council. He said, this facade that we were helping was that we had these democratically elected boards, but we were going to work with them. secret to get this stuff insolved. And that is exactly what they do. He said he realized as they were

selling the data to ICE as well as Border Patrol, what this really was about, the fact that this was creating a national police force, a national police state. And so he has resigned and discussed. But again, all of this stuff, when we say this is about license plate readers, just take a look at this. This is a flock camera. realize what it is there's a man no cars anywhere around place he's the one who's doing it it's very easy to see what's going on here see here is the tunnel and here is the camera now let's go ahead and zoom into the camera you can see very clearly that is pointed directly at the tunnel and there it is the reason for this is because these cameras are not just being used for license plate

reading anymore. They are now being pointed in locations that they think there might be heightened criminal activity so they may think that some criminals are going to do things in this tunnel. The problem is that we were told that these are license plate readers, but they're not being used for that. They're being used for mass surveillance of areas where they think that crimes might occur. So as you can see, it is already expanding to what it was not supposed to be. And of course, six years ago, if you're just riding your bicycle, that would be a crime, right? during the lockdown? What are they going to do with this next pandemic?

Next lockdown. Whatever the McGuffin is that they choose to lock us down with. Well, if we look at the EU, they're selling another measure to improve security and safety. If you're flying into the EU now, they have a biometric system that they've implemented for non-EU citizens. So if you're an American, you're going to get caught up in the long delays. And they point out, and also short tempers that are happening because of the, of this. But look at the absolute hypocrisy. As the EU refuses to protect its borders from third

world people who are coming across, they subject their citizens and people who are operating legally tourists or whatever. They subject them to this draconian security measure. They are taking the time as people come in to get facial biometrics, to get fingerprints and everything else like that, and that takes time. For example, this one woman had been traveling for 23 hours from South America. She landed in Brussels only to face a demoralizing site that has become all too common for foreign travelers. Long, long lines for passport control that were barely moving. She stood in line for five hours and 15 minutes after her flying for 23 hours from South Africa. There were only six border security stations, and they had about a thousand people

waiting in line. She said she waited so long in line that the rental company gave away her car, and she had to pay about $740 more to get another one. This is the cost of the security state, folks. If you're going to let them scare you into giving up your liberty, your freedom, and your dignity. This will be the price that you will pay. And this is just the beginning. It gets even worse. After they get the data, how they will use it.

Europe's new biometric border system takes fingerprints and facial scans at the border of the people who are coming in legally. They're not going to do anything for the people who come in boats or come over borders, wide open for the illegal invaders. Meanwhile, the cyber attacks on U.S. systems, as I talked about this, I said, first of all, they're lying to you if they tell you that it's from Iran. They have absolutely no way to prove that. They can't tell where a cyber attack is coming from.

This has been known for many years. It's just a bluff and people are lying to you for political purposes when they finger someone and say it's coming from them. Who is really responsible for the cyber attacks? Well, it's the people who put devices online. And I said that. I said, what in the world? why in the world would you put a water system online? Why would you connect it to the internet?

Well, here's what they're doing. They have devices known as programmable logic controllers, PLCs. That's what somebody foolishly connected to the internet. I don't know why they would do that unless they want to be able to just set in their office and punch a button, but then that exposes it. I mean, can't they set up a local area network to do that if that's what they want to, how they want to run this? So this was a cybersecurity professor, Georgia Tech, was talking about what happened in Atlanta,

but he told the Atlanta station that he and his researchers had found thousands of vulnerabilities at 7,000 institutions across the country. They sounded the alarm. They said these things have been misconfigured to be exposed to the Internet. And I would say that not only were they misconfigured to be exposed to the Internet, that they probably didn't change the default password either that is in there. He said, what we realized, one person was looking at, so we realized that some of our pumping stations went down.

Things could get really dangerous if they were to be manipulated or attacked or disturbed. But of course, they're not going to change the password, and they're going to connect these things to the Internet without even thinking twice. Well, you know, when we look at this and I said, this is our opportunity because we have a bipartisan resistance. to this. This is something that, you know, when you look at the police state tactics of ice, wearing the mask, not having any identification, forgetting about all of the standard tactics that have been taken by standard law enforcement, it gets muddy because there's a lot of people

who support the general stated purpose of this. And they don't draw a line between the end and the means. They don't make a distinction between those things. But as everybody is looking at these data centers, and as the general public is getting less and less enthralled with AI to say the least, there is no use case for this as far as we're all concerned. We don't need this network of cameras. We don't need this network of surveillance centers, the data centers. And then in addition to that, people are seeing the big negative consequences that are there. So there is no constituency.

There is no endgame for any of this. You've got some candidates, like here in Tennessee, the two Republican frontrunners, Marsha Blackburn and Rose, who's a congressman, they're out there talking, oh, it'll be a jobs program. Oh, it'll fight China. Sorry, that dog don't hunt. And we need to push back against that. And as I said, I've interviewed Monty Fritz, who is the third candidate who's running.

He's not very far behind Congressman Rose in terms of the polls, but both of them were pretty far behind Marsha Blackburn. And I said, I know this guy is right on the issues. I asked him to come on. He's very busy here just the last couple of days before the election. He's got his schedule as filled up. But I said, at least give me a statement. He said, well, we don't have a statement.

He said, you better put one together. This is the defining issue, in my opinion. It ought to be in your opinion as well. If we lose on this issue, folks, we lose on everything. And if we lose on this issue, the people that you don't like, once they get power, are going to use this tool in a very, weaponized way against you. We want to talk about weaponized government?

That's what happens when you got a surveillance state that's being put in place. So I searched for Monty Fritz, and again, that article that read to you yesterday, where they got statements from two Republican candidates, two Democrat candidates coming up, but they said that they didn't get a response from Monty Fritz. I know he's got a shoestring campaign, but he is right on the issues. I went back and I did a search. There's what I found in terms of a summary. I just summarize it from the articles that I found.

He opposes both data centers and flock license plate readers. He argues that these technologies represent corporate interests and unchecked government surveillance that infringe on the rights, the help and the privacy of Tennesseans. On data centers, he criticizes use of taxpayer funding. He says it is a strain on electricity and water resources, threats to local sovereignty and property rights. He supports local moratoriums, and he believes out-of-state, entities are exploiting Tennessee. Well, he's absolutely right on that.

And it's not just local moratoriums. You've got a Democrat, one of the Democrat candidates that I read yesterday, Adam Kurtz, said he wanted to have a statewide ban on data centers. I agree with that. I think that is the right approach. We cannot leave this to local governments that we've seen over and over again are just putty in the hands of these corporations and the federal government who are throwing cash at them.

It's very easy to get them turned. You also had a Democrat Tim Sear, C-Y-R, who said, we need to ban these NDAs for city councils and utility companies. And that is also the correct approach, I believe. He sat on flight cameras, Moni Fritz said it violates a Fourth Amendment, of course, yes. Tracking innocent citizens without warrants. And he opposes any public-private partnerships with flock. And yet his rivals are out there telling everybody, it's a job. program and we're using this to beat China.

He really needs to put a statement out. This really should be the central issue. I just don't understand why they're not going harder on this. As a matter of fact, before I leave and take a quick break here, this is an article from Prethought Project. The headline is perfect. Dear America, we do not beat China in the AI race if we become China in the AI race. if we become China in the AI race.

And, you know, politics can sometimes be funny until it gets really bad. And we have this dark humor. This is an ad from Marsha Blackburn, who's running for governor here in Tennessee. And when I saw this, I thought this was an AI parody. It's so stupid. This woman is unbelievably stupid and dishonest. but it actually is a legit campaign ad that she put out. She's in a Chinese restaurant talking about how we need to have AI to fight China.

How hard am I going to crack down on China? Well, this is a clue. Clueless. She's crumbling fortune cookies. As governor, Marsha will fight to protect Tennessee land from Chinese front companies. Yeah, protect us from the corporations who are making a fortune. Marsha. It doesn't take a fortune.

cookie to figure it out here in Tennessee, we're going to stop communist China and protect Tennessee land. She is, and it is with a little cat that's waving that you see all over China everywhere. I don't know what it is about that, but it was ubiquitous when we were there. A commercial like that should be a death sentence for her political career. That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. People should look at that and go, I could never vote for this woman. This is an idiot. I can't. I can't. I just don't. I just don't. understand that. As a matter of fact, you know, she was the one who got her 15 minutes of fame when she asked Katanji Brown Jackson in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings,

what is a woman? Well, Marsha, what is China and what is surveillance state? Can you explain those? Can you define those for me? Do you care about what those are? And if you're going to start crumbling fortune cookies in a Chinese restaurant, how about the fortune that Trump is squandering out of the federal government in order to build these things? What about the fortunes that are being dumped on local governments by these big corporations

to get them to set up the surveillance state? This is beyond stupid what she is doing. And I will absolutely not. I may wind up voting for a Democrat for the first time in my life because I think this issue is so fundamental. When you look at this, if we have this data,

if we have this data flock system that's in, think about how that's going to be weaponized by the people that you don't want in office when they get in office because that happens all the time. And I certainly don't want her in office. I can understand how she would use this. This is the raw unfiltered message from Donald Trump at his rape payer protection pledge. He said, you can't fight it. You got to go with it because the money is going to be there. I'm going to make sure you get the money.

My tech sponsors are going to make sure you get the money. You can't go with it. You've got to make a lot of money if you build a police surveillance state. Will you sell us out for money? Yes, Marsha will. And so will Congressman Rose. They will both sell us out. They'll sell out the Constitution. They will destroy our liberty, our freedom, and our dignity. Don't be deceived by these people. We're going to take a quick break, folks. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. As a matter of fact, this three-thought project is pointing out, just as the previous article we were covering was talking about how Trump is going to use military bases to put these data centers on. In this particular article, they focus on the fact that he's going to use public lands.

And we got the Bureau of Land Management, the infamous BLM, the people that were the bad guys and the Bundy standoff ranch, the ranch standoff. And they were out there saying, well, we got to get all the farmers. he was the last rancher that was there, and his family had been there for, I think, 170 years, well before the BLM was even created. And he said, they're not trying to manage the lands. They're trying to manage to get us off so they can do with it whatever they wish. And they were taking people's property rights, whether you're talking about grazing rights or water rights or mining rights. All of those things can coexist on the same piece of land.

And a lot of Americans didn't really understand that. that is really just as important as the property rights that you have for your home. It was a kind of eminent domain that was going on there. And the question was, for what purpose? Well, we can see some of the types of things that they're doing here. But, of course, as that was all unfolding, and I was covering that, the BLM came out and said, we like to idols. They were saying, we've got to protect the sacred desert tortoise.

And your cattle are a threat to that. Well, no, actually, they weren't. Actually, the population of the desert tortoise went up after they did that because they had water rights and they built structures to give water to their cattle. These arid desert places, there was more moisture there for the turtles. They could get moisture out of the cattle feces that were there. And so their population actually thrived. The BLM, on the other hand, because they were supposedly an endangered species, they put a lot of them in a containment area. And as this was all unfolding at the Bundy Ranch, they euthanized a couple of thousand of these endangered tortoises there because they didn't have the funds for it.

Yeah, now they are willing to put the data centers on there and endanger the desert tortoise as well. But so far more than that, it is our liberty and our lives that are at threat. I got to correct what I said earlier. I said it was typically about 77 million, some of these projects per job. No, that was a little bit too high. It's actually in Virginia, $13 million of investment per permanent job in Virginia, $11 million per job in New York. So, yeah, is that a great deal? You like those odds, Marcia?

It's crazy. What a lie to say this is a jobs program. These are not job creation programs, says Free Thought Project. You're being asked to celebrate a system where your own tax dollars subsidized, is the very automation that will render you obsolete and give the government the power to spy on you and watch everything that you do. The real costs are in the residential electricity prices that are shot up more than 36% since 2020 in Virginia. They have their first rate, their first base rate hike since 1992. The grid is being strained toward the breaking point. When you have a

grid that they start having blackouts, sorry, you can't have any air. conditioning or you can't have heating depending on the season because it loads too heavy. And our priority are the surveillance centers, not heating your home. That's what's down the pike with all of this stuff. Meanwhile, Trump is getting his hand in at the ground level, so that he's going to profit by tens of millions of dollars personally. But really is the structure that he wants to put in. The China threat, says Free Thought Project, is the ultimate rhetorical get out of jail

free card. It is a device deployed to short circuit exactly this kind of thinking. When John Federman, Senator of Pennsylvania, attacked a proposed data center moratorium, he didn't debate the substance. He simply branded it as China first if you oppose the surveillance centers. John Fetterman, pretty much wrong on every single issue. It's hard to find somebody that's wrong in every single issue, but there are many of them out there. John Federman, Tom Cotton, a Democrat and Republican. If we're socializing the cost,

commandeering public-owned land and military land and ramming through approval via executive order while cutting communities out of the process entirely, we are already mimicking the very model that we claim to be racing against.

So we've become China in order to defeat China. A data center is a legitimate business until its water dries up the neighbor's well, until its power demand spikes the stranger's electric bill, or until the servers inside it get quietly repurposed to build a digital panoptagon that watches Americans around the clock. At that point, we're no longer talking about free enterprise and corporations, folks. We're talking about a fascist system, the merger of government and corporation for totalitarian purposes.

That is what is at play here. This is not left versus right. Treating it like that is exactly how you get played. And for once, we've got an issue where both the left and the right grassroots don't want this. And it's hard for them to play us off in terms of left versus right. This is a place where we could win if people organize against it. I've got an interview coming up Friday. I'm going to be talking later today with the representative who was,

fighting this in their state. We're going to offer you some tactics on how to do that on Friday. The number of regular people being arrested for protesting data centers is astounding, but people are rising up everywhere. This is a sort of futurism, which is left-leaning. They said it takes a lot to get your typical white-bred American riled up enough that they're willing to go to jail. Getting arrested is a massive pain in bringing court dates, fines, and a record that can shadow your job and your housing prospects. rest of your life. Yet in 2026, data centers have become one of the rare issues that are pushing more and more of Americans to risk it anyway. Futurism has contracted at least, rather counted,

at least 37 arrests stemming from protests related to the data centers this year. And as I pointed out, we're talking about this as an independent candidate for Congress in Tim Burchett's district. And he shot four of these things with a gun. He's in jail right now, but there's an additional 12 cases where police intervened to prevent protesters or speakers from confronting civic leaders, though in reality that number is likely much higher. And these cases are not as likely to make the news. All these have one thing in common. People felt the actions of democratically elected officials are failing to reflect the wishes of their constituents.

Instead, they are deferring to the massive tech corporations and being bribed and buying. out. As a matter of fact, there's actually, there's been cases of ads that have been seen in Facebook ads, other places where they have offered to pay people $150 just to go sit in these town council meetings and say nothing to make sure that somebody who has something to say doesn't have a seat. So a 42-year-old maintenance manager from Indiana during a public meeting in May held to discuss plans to erect a massive Amazon data center, refused to identify himself for the record before speaking. That resulted in him being arrested by the police. As officers were scorting him out, he said he asked why, which prompted the officers to then place him under arrest for criminal

trespass and disorderly conduct. Do you see the fascism already? What are police like this? What are local governments like this going to do once they get these systems. This is underscoring the need to stop these things. When you look at their attitude, they already have this attitude because they know they can, like I've said before, they can smell dinner cooking, right? This is exactly what they've wanted and they've been fantasizing about this meal for a long time and they can smell the smoke and their mouth is watering for the power that they're going to have. These exact types of people. It seems to me that most police officers simply view it as a job.

Their police chief or the sheriff is the boss, and they simply do what the boss tells them. They don't think about what the law actually is, and they don't really care. It's simply a matter of, well, the boss says do this, so I'm going to do it. I'm just following orders. But the people who are running them, the people who hire them, and remember, you know, the sheriffs are elected. But when you're talking about the police, you're talking about the security guards of these town council things, they are employees of the little town council people. They love that kind of power.

Polls find overwhelming majority is disgusted by Trump's relationship of the AI industry, saying he's using the tech to tear down democracy. These big AI Goliaths think they can buy off our government, our elections, our leaders, our future, and nobody will notice. And I guess he looks at it and says, well, why not? Israel did it. Big Pharma did it with him six years ago. Nobody noticed, nobody cared, nobody's been punished.

As a matter of fact, they projected onto other people. Yeah, Fauci is guilty. But he is not the only person that was involved in all this. And now even though Trump praised him up one side and down the other, kept him on the podium and gave him a medal as he was leaving, now he says, oh, well, I never really liked this guy. And he gets away with that. A year and a half into a second term,

a growing number of Americans are clearly fed up with the president's pandering to the tech industry. The new poll says 79% saying it is their top concern with AI that tech companies are too close to Trump and helping him to erode democracy. What do you think they're really talking about when they're talking about eroding democracy? Is it about setting up this surveillance system? And I said that when Doge happened. It was exactly the type of thing that Curtis Sharvin had talked about. He called it Rage.

Musk called it Doge. and it's about replacing people in the bureaucracy with AI that's going to be responded to them. And that is, when he started going through and identifying all this stuff, I said, look at that, look at how they can sort through this mountain of data and they can find some things. Certainly there was stuff to cut.

I'm not saying there wasn't. I agreed with a lot of the cuts that they made. As a matter of fact, you have a lot of people who are just wringing their hands about USAID. USAID has always been about cultural. subversion for the CIA. It's always been a tactic of the left-wing side of the intelligence agency, and I was glad to see it go. However, he was able to find these different places to cut, which nobody else could really find by using AI, the same way that Pulte,

who was head of housing and urban development for Trump, used AI to go after Trump's political enemies and go back through their entire history of real estate transactions and find some that were, to say the least questionable, where they, it could argue, committed perjury. And I think that will be argued. And, but basically, bring me the man, I'll find the crime type of thing. That's what we have to worry about. That's what's going to be weaponized against us. And it'll be, if you're Republican and you chair that kind of stuff, understand that'll

be used by the Democrats against you. As Harvey Silverglades said, many years. in his book, three felonies a day. He said the government, the laws have become so complex, so Byzantine, so many that every American on average is committing three felonies a day and doesn't even know it. If you think that's an exaggeration, take a look at what they tried to do, the guy they claimed touched the reflecting pool. That was going to be a felony charge. So are we going to defeat China in all this stuff? I mean, we can create an authoritarian totalitarian police state, that'll be exactly what big tech and big Washington want.

But the reality is, is that China's AI knife fight can be seen in Deep Seek's new model. It runs 100 times cheaper than Anthropic, the flagship model. Deep Seeks V4 Flash, which is officially released last Friday, costs roughly three cents to run through a standard battery of benchmark tests. Meanwhile, AI's, the Moonshots AI, Kimmy K3 cost 86 cents, not three cents. GPT 5.6 cost $1.86. And Claude Fable 5 costs $3 and $15 to do the same thing that Deep Seek can do for $3. They charge $3, more than that, actually.

So the reality is that you're talking about competing with them in terms of cost or in terms of we should try to compete. They should try to make them compete with us in terms of freedom. That has always been our competitive advantage anyway is in terms of freedom. But when you look at what is happening with Silicon Valley, don't expect that you're going to get anything out of Silicon Valley that's going to be cost efficient. These people are not about cost efficiency. they're about seeking monopoly. There's also the fact that with the government involved, you are incentivized to not be efficient

because the government will just keep throwing money at everything over and over and over again. You cannot fail with the government involved. That's right. That's right. Over and over again, just like the guy interviewed about his book about space planes, and he's talking about how Elon Musk operated versus a lot of these other people. And most government contracts, it is cost plus. And so it's like, you tell us what this is.

is going to cost, and then your profit margin is going to be some fixed percentage over that. So if you are inefficient, you're going to make more money. So if there's something that could be done for $100 and you do it for $300, you're going to get, and it's a 10% markup on that. Instead of making $10, you're going to make $30. So they have an incentive to be less efficient. This is what the military industrial complex. Yeah, I was about to say you can see that with the military industrial complex where they end up paying, you know,

thousands of dollars for one little screw or something like that. It's absolutely right. Yeah, let's talk a little bit about Trump's Iran war, as I prefer to call it the Iran War. He's going to have to run away from this thing. But before we do, I'm going to get some of the comments here. They've been up here for a moment. Hero May said they're building a data center right down the street from me. I'm very sorry to hear that.

Guard Goldsmith, I love how the EPA, which cracks down on puddles, and the yards of people is giving environmental passes to AI centers. I remember the case in Montana. There was a guy, he was not a farmer, but they did have a farm, and they had some of their own cattle, and he had eight acres of land. And he had just a couple of head of cattle. And they set up a pond there for their cattle.

And the EPA came in under the waters of the USA Act. The water did not leave his property. Didn't affect anything else. but they came in. He complied with local restrictions. He did everything that was right, had permits and everything else. But the federal government came in and came after him and wanted tens of thousands of dollars and kept multiplying the fees on all this stuff as he was fighting them in court. And then they went to the extraordinary measure of claiming that they could debit his bank accounts, just like the IRS does. It truly was amazing. But that part of it got pushed back.

But yeah, they go to the nth degree for anything other than the data centers. And this is happening across the board. Look at all of the hand-wringing about the climate McGuffin. Oh, we got to worry about power. Oh, we got to worry about heat and all the rest of the stuff. All that just disappeared, didn't it? It was always fake. And this is the evidence.

That's one thing data centers have given us. And that is the data that the climate McGuffin was always just a fake excuse to do this stuff. Enigosaneda says our options have turned into communism with Sharia law or communism with Zionists under the no-hide laws. It's all being done intentionally and it's being done under mass surveillance. I absolutely agree. So I Handy said, Flok doesn't have signage at its main office. Funny how they want their privacy, but none for us. Yeah, that's right.

and Andy is in Atlanta. And I played a clip yesterday of the people who went there to film the place that they don't want to have any signage. And first they had a guy drive up and he says, are you with lock? Oh, no, I'm not with lock. And he took his picture and he docksed him. He said, no, he is. He's retired UK military. And he called the cops on us.

And the cops came out there. And he said, we could have been shot the way. You know, the guy says, I think they've got a gun. He told the police. So the police came out locked and loaded. we've seen this over and over again. Same thing the flock does when it reports a stolen car and it turns out that it's automotive journalists

and we've had that happen several times. And these automotive journalists that get pulled over by the police and the police, usually somebody stole the car, they treat that very seriously. They're concerned that this person is going to be violent. So they are trigger loaded with all that stuff. It's also worth pointing out that the guy who was there

is a famous YouTuber, a guy named Tommy G. He's well known. It's highly likely the guy who saw him, knew who he was or was able to figure out who he was before he called the police. He's also going to have a camera crew with him. They are not the type of people that look like they're out there to shoot someone. There's a lot of people that were there. He can tell that immediately. And he calls the police and reports this as someone who might be dangerous to put that in their mind, to worsen the outcome for this guy.

A deliberate false report. It's absolutely right. you know and uh and he even made the point he said so you don't want us taking any pictures of you but you do this to us all the time don't you well trump fantasized about himself put himself in between this is um let me get back to this he put himself in between general patten and general mccArthur look at this look who's got the most medals he doesn't have any metals on the chest of patten and he's got just a couple on mccarthur's chest but his chest is filled with metals. He's got more stars than they do as well. And so this is a guy who

avoided all military service. We're the military veterans who want to talk about stolen valor. Yeah, we should talk about that. We should also talk about stolen money, stolen power, and a constitution that was stolen from us. Trump said when he was operating in Venezuela, as well as in Iran, yeah, we're like pirates. He's either pirates. He's either the pirates. of the Caribbean or pirates of the Strait of Hormuz General Trump Yeah, the general who lost the Strait of

Hormuz, the general who is losing American hegemony And power in the Middle East Yeah, this is a guy Who's not suffering from PTSD He's never been to battle So he doesn't have any battle stress, he has no battle trauma. This is all

melodrama and it's all A.I. Psychosis. This guy is unfit for office. This guy is unfit for office in every regard. So, yeah, today we have Pentagon generals, unfortunately, that act like politicians. This is a politician who wants to look like a general, but unfortunately, the Pentagon generals that we got are mostly politicians. And we have many times more generals today in the military than we did during World War II.

It meant a lot more to be a general at that point in time. Now they've got many times more. Just like the politicians, these Pentagon politicians are afraid to tell Trump the truth about what's happening with this war. There's also the fact that from what I've read and seen, the military selects for officiousness and order followers. If you make one mistake, you can immediately lose your command and then lose basically all hope of ever being able to rise to a rank where you can command again. That's true. That's true. Yeah. So they are very, very big on you do exactly what you're told. You know, if you follow procedure, you know, well, you know, sometimes things go awry.

But if you come up with your own idea and it doesn't work, they will crush you. And so you get all of these bureaucrats into these high positions. That's right. Yeah. And that type of thing, too, you also get people. Nobody gets fired for getting the consensus pick out there. So you get people who don't want to take any risks in any of this stuff. And you get somebody who doesn't like you.

You get a black market, get passed over for promotion a couple of times. Your career is really over. Just get out, and that's typically what they do. So he was also wishing the Coast Guard a happy birthday. Well, the Coast Guard, interestingly enough, does not kill drug suspects on site, as Trump was doing in Venezuela. It doesn't kill people extrajudicially, like he had Robert Duterte doing the Philippines, and he is now in front of the International Criminal Court. but as Donald Trump was saying, they're not coming after me.

I'm not trying to shut down the international criminal court because they're coming after me. He said, I'm going to do this to protect BB. Everything is about protecting my favorite BB. U.S. is used up, meanwhile, virtually all of its defensive missiles, I'm sorry, defensive as well as offensive surface-to-surface missiles, as well as the Patriot missiles and THAAD missiles. They said, dwindling stockpiles and forced Trump to consider piloted bombing missions if the Iran war intensifies.

The U.S. has reportedly used up virtually all of its stockpile of surface-to-surface missiles and five months of war with Iran. But understand that when we talk about these missiles, we're also talking about the fact that we've given away a lot of them to Ukraine and to Israel for their wars, and then we used a massive amount of them in Iran as well. So the surface-to-surface munitions known as the Army tactical missile systems, as well as its successor, which is a more advanced system, the precision strike missiles. They've used virtually all of these, they said. An official warning last month that the U.S. military did not have enough to return to all-out war.

Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran with devastating strikes, only to call them off at the last minute. again he takes his profits off of the stock market as he makes the market rise and fall with his fake pronouncements you know falls when he says he's going to intensify the war then when he backs off the stocks go up so it's a buying opportunity for him he's done this over and over and over again so much so the people on wall street were the ones who came up with the acronym taco Trump always chickens out. In other words, don't be drawn into this pump and dump stuff that he does. These missiles play a key role in the war in Ukraine,

allowing Kiev's forces to attack targets inside of Russia. The PRSM is a newer, more advanced generation that has a much longer range. As the war drags on, three people familiar with the matter expressed worried that the following missile supplies could limit U.S.'s ability to deter adversaries a potential future attack, including Russia and China. Hey, if we're concerned about China, so concerned that we're going to create a police surveillance state, why are we doing this?

Yeah, none of the justifications that they offer us add up, do they? So the White House boasted that the U.S. had, quote, far more munitions than anybody else in the world, and far more than we need. Well, I would agree with that latter part. they have so much weapons that it is basically an incitement to use them to go into wars that we don't need to be into, to start wars of aggression, as we've seen with this.

And let's agree that certain munitions, including artillery shells and several types of missiles, are being produced at record levels. However, they caution the suppliers might fall short of what is needed for a prolonged war. Meanwhile, you have Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman, bragged, he said America's military is the most powerful in the world.

And it has everything it needs to execute at the time and the place of the president's choosing. And I would add, regardless of the legality or the justification or the morality of what the president chooses to do, unilaterally taking us into war. That should be grounds for impeachment and yet nothing. thing is done. Even the Democrats are not really standing up to this, as you would expect. The supply figures have circulated inside the federal government for over the last week during tense conversations inside the Trump administration about how much longer the U.S. can continue striking Iran without drawing down the stockpile to levels that would limit

the military's ability to respond to crises elsewhere. As a matter of fact, we even had a general make a public statement. I read to you a couple of days ago. He said, we're at the point where we're going to have to decide whether we're going to protect the USA or Israel. I said, well, that's concerning because I know that they're going to protect Israel first. No question about it. They will protect them before they protect the U.S. Several media outlets reported that Trump had decided not to launch another massive offensive inside of Iran, in part because the military advisors had warned him about the U.S. stockpile.

And it's not just the offensive missiles of the surface-to-surface type. It's also the defensive interceptors. Nearly 80% of those are depleted, say, sources. This is from CNN. They said stockpiles of key air defense systems are particularly depleted, the THAAD missile inventory, as well as 80% of those, as well as half of the Patriot interceptors. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that the U.S. had around 2,200 Patriots.

and now half of those are gone. Think about the massive amount of firepower that they have rained down. Why haven't they won yet? Well, it's because those types of bombing campaigns do not win wars. Robert Pape, who is a professor, has done a book about that, and he's pointed out that these types of campaigns, we have oversold the idea that we can win a war through air power alone. You can't. We have lost one war after the other. under that delusion. And he said it's especially bad if you focus on bombing civilian populations, because that just galvanizes them in a blowback. They rally behind somebody even as bad as the Ayatollahs because of this.

And so it is backfiring in a very bad way. When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about what Victor Davis-Henson had to say. He hasn't learned anything. He's a historian, but he learned nothing from America's history of failed wars. And he is sounding just like Mark Levin. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Making sense. Common again.

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

Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Night Show.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gala and social events. If you want to save on shipping, Just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. So Tucker Carlson when he was at Fox News, but he is a warhawk, if ever there was one.

I'm sure he would be welcome on Mark Levin's program. They could all do this. I'll fight them to the last American. Die for Israel. That's right. Yeah, he's not welcome with Tucker anymore. They're kind of on the outs, but he would be right at home with Mark Levin. You know, even the Warhawks are unhappy with Trump.

Why? Because he's losing. And if you want to know just how badly they're losing, take a look at this that got put out. This is a call from the military. Cintcom is soliciting, quote, unconventional ideas to punish Iran. Now, does that not shout desperation? Does that not shout an immoral war of aggression? I mean, just think about that.

Crowdfunding creative tactics will not fix a broken strategy, says Robert Pape. He said, more pressure just drives a predictable spiral. Each response feeding the next, we are stuck in the escalation trap. And I got to say, you know, when we look at this, The, I don't only take this as an admission of desperation, but you take it as an admission of evil. The fact that this war and the way that's being conducted by the Zionists of Israel and the Zionists of America is morally indefensible. It is morally bankrupt, militarily bankrupt, and intellectually bankrupt. We've got to even have ideas about how we have creative punishment.

You know, think about that. That was the type of thing that we used to criticize the not. for, isn't it? When they had one of their officers died, they would go in and they would kill an entire village, right, and reprisal. This is the type of thing that we've seen over and over again from the Zionists that are out there. As a matter of fact, this was a guy who was interviewed, and I played this for you yesterday, the guy who was interviewed by the BBC, and what he was saying in context, the BBC was there. He was a lawyer, or is a lawyer, I should say, This is a lawyer who said, well, they murdered one of our security guards.

And so we are retaliating against these four villages. We're going to kill everybody in every one of these villages. Isn't that just like what the Nazis did during their occupation? Yes, exactly that. This is a guy who's a lawyer, but he's not interested in having an investigation catching the actual murderer. No, I don't care about that. It's just an excuse for us to kill these people and to show how we are powerful. It sounds like you're saying one Jewish life is worth hundreds or thousands.

thousands of Palestinian lives. Not million. One Jewish life, it's 10 million, okay? That just sounds racist. Yes, I know. He doesn't care. I know, but this is the true.

Because God choose us. Because of this, you are jealous. Yeah, right. This is the difference between the American Zionists and the Israeli Zionists. The Israeli Zionists. say, yeah, that's right, we're doing genocide. Yeah, that's right.

We're doing war crimes. And we're proud of it, right? The people in America who resign is, oh, that's not happening. They're not racist. They're not committing genocide. But he owns it. So Trump needs a new game plan on Iran, says Victor Davis-Hanson. Well, actually, Victor, he never had a plan.

Maybe you'd miss that part of it. He's just following the plan that Netanyahu gives him. Satan, Yahoo, we should say. So he weighed in on this after Trump said he was working, he had the perimeters of a deal that were there. Not parameters, perimeter is what he said he had. Trump said that he canceled launching the, quote, biggest attack since World War II. Hansen gave the president kudos for following through on some of his threats to bomb Iran. But he said, calling off the strikes whenever Iran hints it wants to make an agreement is futile.

So he is definitely in the Loonie Levin camp. I'll fight them to the last American. Die for Israel. That's right. These people who are cheerleaders and clueless as well at the same time. Victor Davis-Hanson is absolutely clueless about the whole taco strategy. He doesn't realize that Trump is not trying to make up his mind. He's trying to manipulate the markets.

He said about Iran, Victor Davis-Hanson said they've lied continuously. So you don't think that when he says that he's going to nuke them back into the Stone Age or whatever threat he comes up with it, I'm going to wipe their civilization off the map, and then he does nothing. He said, oh, yeah, now we're having peace talks. And they say, what peace talks? We're not having any peace talks. And there's no evidence of it. You don't think that it's Trump that's lying. It's Iran that's lying, right?

He says they don't view it as lying. They view it as being in service to their religion or ideology. Well, you know, we're told by Trump. This is 4D. Chess. Or we're told. that it is in service to Zionism, which is their religion. Hansen said it made more sense to pummel the enemy into submission. Again, this guy supposedly is a historian.

He hasn't learned anything from our history of wars. Robert Pape has. He says, if you have to inflict a level of damage that disgraces them, humiliates them, said Hanson. Yeah, he thinks that air power is the thing that's going to do that. Of course, it isn't. He said, keep the embargo, freeze their bank accounts. They're really hurting. Do you think we're hurting? Think we're going to be hurting when all the oil reserves run too empty? What do you think about that? I don't guess Victor Davis-Hanson

is an economist. He certainly isn't much of a story because we've been down this road before with the oil embargo of 1973. That was tiny and short compared to this. And he's calling for this to be long-term? And he doesn't think that this is going to hurt us as well. He is blind to the global oil shortage that is out there. You know, when we talk about what Trump is doing, he's not going to make America great again. He's going to make America go through a great depression again. Magda is early what he's talking about. Make America great depression again. Yeah. Well, Robert Pape said Trump's historic defeat is going to be the end of America's unipolar moment. Now, he's the one who wrote the book, bombing to win. He said,

if you want to win, you don't bomb civilian populations. You bomb military installations. And you're not going to win a war unless you put boots on the ground. So Pape argued that the war in Iran is not simply another lost war. He said, it marks the strategic culmination that brings America's entire unipolar era to an end. And this is what he has to say. Let's pick this thing up here. There's a huge strategic defeat for President Trump, and it's a strategic defeat even bigger than just simply losing a war

because it really reflects the massive decline of American military dominance. But this is a mega, mega legacy that now it is going to be President Trump. Not Maga. ended America's unipore dominant. So when we have the history, the history books written, it'll be 1991 to 2006. And who's the president in 2006 of the United States? It is Donald J. Trump. So he will not be forgotten in the history books. He will go down as having the biggest strategic loss in pretty much America's history. I don't think you can even Vietnam. although there's more actual casualties in Vietnam.

Yeah, in Vietnam, as I pointed out, you know, what happened was North Vietnam consolidated everything. There wasn't anything else that was happening. There wasn't a power vacuum that happened. Whereas in the Middle East, America has presented itself as the stabilizing power that's going to be the policeman of the area. And the petrodollar, which is already disintegrated

because of Biden's sanctions, this now is crumbling. And instead, what you have, have are all these different Gulf states that are scrambling to see who is going to be on top again and a race for nuclear weapons. We're seeing that with Saudi Arabia as well. Every actor in the region is racing to fill the void. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and many others. So while Trump is oscillating, Iran advances drip by drip, consolidating leverage as oil inventories drain and economic pressure mounts on us and on the rest of the world.

This is not just a problem for Iran. Yes, they've got an economic issue as well. You know, when you have a war, many times you inflict the same kind of punishment on yourself that you're inflicting on other people. The goal is clear. Iran wants to force every American troop base and naval asset out of the region. And that trajectory continues whether Trump escalates or freezes because the vacuum itself invites Iranian expansion as the rising regional hegemon. Trump inherited the peak of American power, and he's now presiding over its dramatic regional collapse. History will record the date, the range, and the name of the president who closed the unipolar chapter.

This is the sound of an empire's dominion ending in real time. And I, for one, am not sad to see that go. I don't want to see us as the world's policeman. I've always thought that was an abomination. I don't want an empire. I want a republic. The respects our liberty. As Rutherford Institute and John Whitehead points out, he said,

we've actually had this statement from Rubio, a head for an eye, not an eye for an eye, right? So the government's war on the American people. He said, this is how a republic is dismantled. not necessarily through one dramatic declaration of dictatorship, but through a succession of constitutional violations that go unanswered long enough to become the new normal. And he points on this essay that Trump has crossed one Rubicon after the other. Each of these are a test.

Each of them are designed to exploit a particular institution to show that he is stronger, Daring, you crosses the line, and he dares somebody to do something about it. And when they don't, he has set a new precedent of centralized power for the presidency. It is a very dangerous game that he is playing. And it is far, it's going to have, just like we're talking about what's happening in Iran, it is going to have far-reaching consequences for us domestically as well. So John Whitehead says we should be talking about the dangerous destabilizing things that are be done to this country. We should be talking about the data centers that are spreading across the landscape, that are draining electricity and water, that are straining local infrastructure,

and are expanding the technological machinery needed to track, profile, and control the population. We should be talking about that. And we should be talking about the government's growing network of detention centers and massed police, who operate without identifying themselves, who operate in defiance of the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and due process. We should be talking about license plate readers and facial recognition government databases. And we should be turning into a movement that understands that this is going to be associated with a digital dossier for every person in America.

We should be talking about masked government agents, endless wars, disappearing constitutional safeguards, an imperial presidency that is accountable to no one. And guess what? When your guy is gone, Trump supporters, who's going to take his place with the powers that Trump is creating and leaving behind? Instead, we're trapped in a vicious loop of nonsense, mania, political demagoguery, and manufactured spectacle. That's right.

Trump is governing based on the rules of WWE. professional wrestling. It is manufactured spectacle that leaves the left deranged and the right delusional. Trump is the accelerationist for the fourth turning. The American public need to focus on America first and to stop the surveillance state first. That is the number one priority. But both of them are united in fear and loathing of this surveillance architecture in these data centers. That's the one thing that we can unite people around, and it is the one existential issue that is here in America right now. Before you can fully comprehend one assault, however, on the Republic, he does another one

to take its place. Now, say, keeps these things coming very, very rapidly. It is all by design, and it's why they put him there. He is testing whether a president can wage war without Congress. He is testing whether federal power can be turned into personal power. He is testing whether disaster, rather where dissent can be punished without formally outlawing speech. He is testing masked government agents operating as a secret police force. He is testing whether government can watch, track, and profile everyone without any limits.

He is testing whether even the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution would limit. it hit him to two terms in office. Everything is a test and everything is designed to create outrage. Even the little meme that he puts up there. You know, if he puts, he knows that that's going to get people angry and outrage and talking about that rather than some of these other things that he's doing. It is worth talking about it because it does show his delusional ego and narcissism and his detachment from reality, but that's all that really needs to be said about it. So President Trump, which is what I've always called him. This testing, he said most of all,

how much abuse the American people will tolerate before exhaustion, fear, distraction, and partisan loyalty, wear down their willingness to resist. That is the real constitutional crisis that is confronting America. Trump has turned constitutional government into a continuous test of submission.

He pushes beyond a boundary, and then he waits. Will Congress resist? Will the court? Intervene? Will government officials refuse? Will the public object? Or will everyone just retreat, rationalize, delay, and adjust to what he's doing? You see how this is operating? This is the guy who's been put in to To push us into this. It was Dave Chappelle who said the comedian. He said

In Trump's first term, he goes, yeah, this guy is something else and he'll come out of the secret meetings with these things. He said, you won't believe what these guys are getting ready to do. And he said, then the SOB will go back in and do it to you himself. And that's exactly what this has all been about. That's the way he runs his campaigns. But now that he is president, especially in this second term, everything is a test. Who will push back? Will Congress, will the courts, will the public? Will the people who are there to run this out and enforce it? Will they refuse to do that? And every time, they're not doing it. And so he keeps crossing one Rubicon after the other, and keeping it and planting his flag of complete centralized dictatorial powers of the presidency.

Asked about Iran's promise to retaliate according to the principle of an eye for an eye, Rubio declared that Trump's policy is a head for an eye. Well, there we go. We just point out this is the values of the Zionists, right? One life? No, no, your life is a million of yours. You messed with one of our villages. We're going to destroy four of your villages and kill everybody in them.

It is Christian values, folks, that built Western civilization. It is not Zionist values. Zionist values are antithetical to the Christian values that built Western civilization. It's not this disproportionate. We'll teach you a lesson. We'll kill everybody in four villages because one person was killed. We're not interested in finding the guilty party. We're just going to engage in a massive campaign of punishment.

These people have become the Nazis they claim they hate. A head for a head, a head for an eye, rather, may be Trump's philosophy of war, but it also produces a warning about the kind of government that that philosophy produces. A government that is at war not only with foreign enemies, but with dissent, at war with privacy, at war with due process, at war with constitutional limits, and ultimately at war with the American people. This is not just, well, you put another country ahead of us. No, he is at war with us.

And it is the Zionists who are at war with us. As I said before, these ideas that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. And it is the purpose of government to protect those rights. That is antithetical to what the Zionists are doing. Antithetical to it. As a matter of fact, they hate that. and they are as opposed to the foundations of Western civilization and the idea of the Magna Carta and due process

and all these things that have gradually been hobbled together based on Christian values. They are as antithetical to that as they are Antichrist. They truly are opposed to all of these things. Forget about the nonsense of Judeo-Christian. That is something that has been weaponized by Netanyahu on this last visit, he actually pushed that very strongly.

And he went around and met with evangelicals and saying, you know, we all got to hang together on this because we're all united as Judeo-Christians. What fellowship do Christians have with somebody who not only denies Christ as Messiah? And of course, that's what Christ actually means. You know, Jesus is the Messiah. He is the Christ.

One of them is a Jewish term. The other one is a Greek term. But what fellowship does a Christian have with the Antichrist? Well, there isn't any. And as a matter of fact, they are not the foundation of Western civilization, but their religion and their values are antithetical to Western civilization. So there's been a huge uptick in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since Trump has hailed an historic Hamas deal. this is what we see all of the time.

As a matter of fact, they have embraced the idea of their crimes. This is a guy, Major General Ave Bluth, who was commander of the military forces in the West Bank in May this year, 2026. He said, people call us baby killers, but you know what? They're not wrong. And we should not be ashamed of it. They're proud of their crimes. They're proud of killing people to steal their land.

He said, I'm proud to be one of baby killers. killer, because this is what Hashim ordered to kill the Amalek, and that includes men, women, baby animals, even their trees, and they're uprooting the trees that have been there for centuries in Lebanon. Part of it is because they're not ethnic Jews or not from that area. They're allergic to the pollen of the olive trees, which only 1% of the world's population are allergic to, but about two-thirds of the Israelis are allergic to it. He said, I, served in the IDF in Gaza with the 84th Brigade, and not many of us saw any issue with it. In fact, we were encouraged at time.

I feel no emotion when it comes to this. They need to be dead, and we need all of our land back, all of the land of Israel, right? Greater Israel. This is what they're about. Murder of everyone. Murder of civilians, murder of babies for the land. They will do anything. And so Reuters on Sunday reported an entire day of fresh IDF bombardment on Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza for a second straight day on Sunday, killing at least 18 Palestinians, medics said, despite Trump's announcement of a breakthrough and efforts to implement last year's ceasefire agreement. Yeah, they do not want peace. And Trump will do whatever they want. This is all just phony, everything that he's putting out there. Were the negotiations, if there were any? Were the negotiations sincere, or was it just a head fake? He destroyed this stuff.

They said these people need to be destroyed, but the international coverage and the cameras have in effect moved on. There was a time when every explosion in Gaza flashed across my phone, horrible images of children being pulled from rubble, medical workers trying to help patients in the hospital itself gets bombed, families howling in grief as a sudden. Israeli bombs obliterate entire Palestinian lineages, said a journalist Prasad. But he said Israel's attacks now continue as families flee from one temporary shelter to another. Children searched through shattered concrete for fragments of lives that they once knew. But the world's attention now has shifted away as the genocide has become routine. We have become comfortably numb to all of this, he pointed out. Well, again, as all of this is happening, you see the Department of War and Sean Parnell put out this.

Send me. Look at this. U.S. Department of War and Sean Parnell said, it quoted Isaiah, where God said, you know, who will go for me and speak to these people? Speak to them about what? Well, speak to them about their sin. and speak to them about the coming Messiah, Jesus, who would take away their sin. I mean, Isaiah is absolutely amazing when you look at the messianic prophecies. And yet the dispensationalist will pervert that and make it all about Israel.

And you have the American Zionists will pervert that and make it all about war. And I've talked about this before when I criticize Heg-Seth for saying, you know, yeah, we're going to go to war. And God has trained my hands for battle. in my fingers for warfare. And I said, look, that is not what that is about. David said that about actual wars that he had. Those wars that he had, however, just like everything,

just like the deliverance of Israel on Passover, was a picture of Christ's deliverance, of the greater supernatural aspect, deliverance from sin, deliverance from the slavery and the bondage of sin, to take us to the promised land. Yes, it really happened. But it was all a picture of the work of Christ.

And that is what the dispensationalists get so absolutely positively wrong. They make everything in Isaiah and in the Old Testament about fake Israel today. And they are fake. It is a fake Israel. But it wasn't about Israel in the first place. It was about Christ. If you don't believe me, ask Jesus. He said, you search these scriptures, the Old Testament.

because you think in them you have eternal life, but they testify of me. That is the hermeneutic that we use for this, the way that we interpret this. And so when they come out and they put this kind of stuff, send me. Yeah, send me to die for Israel. That's really what this is about. I despise this Trump administration, this Trump regime, and how they misuse the Bible, how they have perverted its meaning and changed what was a message of deliverance from sin into a message to go kill sinfully other people.

That's what they're doing is an absolute perversion. And so they got pictures here of different soldiers, whether they're on aircraft carriers or they're on the land or they're with planes. It says, send me, send me, send me, yeah. I'll fight them to the last American. die for Israel. Yeah, you might want to go back and reread Isaiah and see what it was that God was sending Isaiah to do. He wasn't sending him to go out and kill people for land.

And even the ultra-Orthodox Jews get that right. They said, we believe that God has promised his land to us, but we believe that he will do it. Right. And I said, when I talked about this in the past, I said they're making the same mistake that Abraham did. Abraham believed God. God credited that to him for righteousness, but he also was impatient. And as he's getting older,

it's like, well, God promised he's going to make a great nation out of me, but I don't see that happening. So let's make that happen. And what was the result of that? The Arab nations that they have been at war with for so long. He doesn't have a baby with his wife. He has a baby with his wife's slave. And that becomes the basis of these nations

that have fought and resisted them for thousands of years, simply because he would not trust God to fulfill his promises in God's own time and in God's own way. That is the problem of Zionism today. They do not trust God. They do not believe God, as a matter of fact. They ignore everything, just like Ben Shapiro when he was asked by Rogan. He said, do you believe that God part of the Red Sea?

No, I don't believe that. But he could give us the land. Yeah, because that's the only thing that matters to them. And they don't care who they have to kill to make that come to pass. We'll be right back. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. Welcome back.

I've got a good comment here from Audi. Modern Retro Radio. Good to see you, Audi. He said, those medals are for all the Trump's efforts to dodge. the draft. He was very successful during that, wasn't he? Yeah, Yonah Atoode said,

I'm sure as soon as we land troops at Bandar Abbas beside the Manab's Girl School that we bombed, will be welcomed as liberators. Yeah, don't you think? No, no. As a matter of fact,

look at the massive number of people that turned out. I mean, they were having riots against the rule of the Ayatollahs and the strict and tolerance of their religious police, they were already pushing back against them and there were violent conflicts. All of that was ended when they attacked. If you wanted regime change, you snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory. Instead, what you wind up with is probably the largest funeral that anybody has ever had for the Ayatollah the Jew assassinated. It's just

amazing how they have, talk about losers. Trump is an epic loser. DG8, thank you for the tip. He said, David, you pointed out the Democrats don't call out Trump's illegal war. Never forget, 95% of Democrats are on A PAC payroll. That's right. That's right. Radisbro said, and my 36 years of life, all history has been a lie. Pretty much.

Yeah, you know, even Winston Churchill said the victors write the history. We will write the history of World War II. But the first part of that was absolutely, well, actually the second part of it was absolutely true as well, Both parts of that are true. DG8 says, how in the world can Maga not see how Trump is bankrupting America, building a surveillance state beyond what we could imagine, and grifting for his family and friends, killing free speech, the Second Amendment, etc.

And that truly is what is happening here. You know, when I look at this Zionist lawyer who says, yeah, we are the chosen people and you're nothing, right? you're just going, when I see that, it made me think back to some friends I had in a church. And she was Jewish and her husband was not. And she not only went to the church that we both attended, but she also went to a messianic congregation. And I said in the past that I went to a messianic Passover Seder.

And it was because of our friendship with them. And it truly was amazing because you could see it. And they pointed out all the different pictures of course. Christ throughout the Passover Seder that they do. And how it was kind of interesting, they don't even have lamb anymore. So, yeah, the lamb is missing. But there was one particular part of it that I still remember where they talked about the, they had something I think was called the Afrocomen.

And it was three pieces of unleavened bread. And the middle one was taken out, which if you think about the Trinity, the father, the son, the Holy Spirit, right? You take out the middle one, the son. they would hide it and let the children search for it. It truly was amazing a picture of not only Christ. It was a picture of the Passover itself, a picture of the life and work of the Messiah,

and a picture of modern Judaism and the rejection of the Messiah. Nevertheless, we had a sad incident about it because we didn't say anything about it. We just, Karen and I talked about it afterwards, But at one point, her husband, who was not Jewish, was talking to us about something. She wasn't there. And he said, well, blah, blah, blah. What I remember was he said, but I'm only a Gentile or whatever.

I thought, you're only a Gentile? No, there is no difference between Gentiles and Jews, between men and women, between slave or free. God does not distinguish based on ethnicity. He doesn't distinguish based on race. he doesn't distinguish on your financial strata, what level you're in. None of that matters to him. He's not a respecter of persons. He offers free grace to everyone. These circumstances under which we live are not the things that define us. Our ethnicity is not the thing that defines us, not in the eyes of God. And I thought, how in the world could he take away an idea like that? And then when I

look at what is being said with Zionism, I understand it completely. Yeah, one Jew is more important than 10 million of the non-Jews. And so, yeah, it truly is an amazing statement, and he's not ashamed of it. He really is serious about it. Christian Zionists in the Trump administration are the ones who have decided to start a war with Iran. And this is coming from Brian Shulhavi at health impact. He said, headline of his article, let me get back to it here. He says, a Jewish attorney exposes the Zionist belief system.

That is also believed by many Christians. That's his point. Many Christians binded this, just like our friend. Yeah, I'm only a Gentile. I'm lesser in the eyes of God than my wife, who is Jewish. And he points out in this, Brian Schaulhavi does. He said, there really isn't

a large constituency for this. If you take away the evangelical Christians. And this is why you have Netanyahu coming to propagandize them. And the state of Israel is paying a lot of evangelical pastors to fly to Israel and get even more propagandized. He said, there's more Zionists who believe what he said in this interview among Christians than there are among Jews. And he's talking about the interview where the Jewish lawyer said one non-Jewish life is one one Jewish life is worth more than 10 million non-Jewish lives. And so he said what he thought, and he caught this, I didn't catch this, and Brian did.

He said, what is interesting is that this Jewish lawyer when he's talking, and I didn't catch this when I looked at the clip, he said, what's interesting about this attorney's words are his choice to use the word Bible, because Jews don't talk about the Bible. they will talk about the Tanakh or they'll talk about Torah or they'll talk about the Mishnah, which is the rabbinical commentaries. Think of that as the writings and the pronouncements of the scribes and Pharisees, if you're familiar with the Bible, but they don't talk about the Bible, just like they don't call it the Old Testament as we do.

He said, so why would this Jewish attorney use the word Bible, whereas most Jews would instead use words like Torah to refer to the Old Testament? He said because there's more Zionist among the Christians than there are among the Jews in this country. His audience was Christian Zionists when he was giving that message. Many Jews don't accept Zionism. And without Christians, the Zionist cult would probably die away quickly. So it is to appease the Christian Zionist that he purposely used the English word Bible. He said, you can look at almost any war today that's been started by the,

U.S. or by Israel, and you can find Zionist roots in it. The idea that they're going to take this massive amount of land, and they don't care how many people they kill or how many, they can take the whole world into a global depression, and they really don't care. It's just like Lunei Levin. He is so deranged. The attitude that Americans are superior to other countries or that Christianity is a superior religion to other religions. And therefore, those people don't have the right to live. They can be massacred or genocided based on their nationality or religion. Where do we see that?

We see that in the attitude of warped, don't we? Well, you know, these people in Venezuela, they don't matter at all. Now, they're not Americans or they're not Christians or whatever. We can do whatever we wish to with them. That attitude, that foundation comes from Zionism and that kind of, racism, that kind of, we are the master race, is no different than saying we are the chosen race. These people have become Nazis. And our military has become a Nazi military because it's run by a bunch of Zionists to have embraced this master race theory. It is antithetical to Christ.

It is antithetical to the Constitution. It's antithetical to America and the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. This is. a horrific line. It has to be opposed. Nevertheless, as this article from J.D. Hall points out, Netanyahu now presents himself as the defender of Judeo-Christian evangelicalism. And that is what he did when he came. He met with some Christian leaders, and he lectured them that, you know, we're all in this together. And, you know, we're the front of all this. We started all this. We laid the foundation of your religion of Christianity. We laid the the foundation of America? No, they are opposed to Christ. They are opposed to Christ teaching.

They are opposed to the foundation of America. This idea that all people are created equal, that is antithetical to a chosen people that God respects over all this stuff. And of course, he has said in the past that Gingas Khan is greater than Jesus. And he really believes it. He wants to be Gingas Khan himself. But he spells it C-O-N. He is a Consumet con man. I mean, even in the Talmud, it basically, if memory serves, says that non-Jews are just cattle to use and abuse however you want. That's right. You have no need to respect them.

You have no need. If you steal something from them, it's okay. Whatever you do to them doesn't matter. It's as bad as Islam, exactly, if not worse. And you see the same type of thing from Hindus. They have a caste system. Where do you think people who don't believe their religion fall in the caste system? Are we untouchables or are we below untouchables?

This is why I said America and the Western civilization were founded on Christian principles of equality before God and the common humanity of man. Every other one of these civilizations that are founded on a different religion that have a different worldview that view people differently, they don't support the kind of society that we want to live in. So for the last two weeks, a controversy over Judeo-Christianism has flared up, again, writes J.D. Hall. And he thinks that it was by design. Because they had the way was prepared with all this stuff. You had, the Trump White House was putting this stuff out. We had hundreds of these debates about Judeo-Christian, so-called quote-unquote, filled the internet.

You had Wes Huff, who was made famous with his interview with Joe Rogan. He was saying, well, it's just purely an academic term. And then he said, Jordan Peterson came out, and defended Huff, but basically as he was going through discussing it, he refuted everyone of Wes Huss's points, word for word. He said, then came Ali Beth Stucky, who cited the opinions of Wes Huff and Jordan Peterson, and said, well, I've thought about this, and I think that Judeo-Christian is right. It's like, how in the world can you embrace something? That's like saying anti-Christ Christian values. These things could not be more opposite. It's a lot of It's not just that they reject the teachings of Christ.

They reject Christ himself, and they reject Christians. They spit on Christians. As a matter of fact, Ben Gavir said in October of 2023, he said in terms of spitting on Christians, we just had another incident of this. You had six Israelis detained after an incident near St. James Monastery in Jerusalem in the Armenian quarter. they were spitting, the cameras at the front showed them spitting on the door and spitting on the threshold. They got rocks.

They pelted the windows and all the rest of stuff. Just absolute hatred and racism. The Armenian patriarch urged for hate crime charges to be brought against them. Well, Jews spitting on Christians, Ben Gavir said he's a national security minister. So he's kind of like, I guess the Department of Justice, he's made a lot of headlines based on the atrocities and war crimes that he wants to commit in prisons against people that he's arrested that are not Jewish. He thinks that they need to be kept at a different standard. But he said in October of 2023, in a public statement, he said, well, spitting on Christians is not a

criminal case. He said, it is an ancient Jewish custom. And it's fine. That's Ben Gavir. This is the guy who is also talking about torturing and killing prisoners. and the guy who boasts about the genocide that he commits. So where is the Judeo-Christian values and all this? They spit on us. They spit on Christ. It's absolute lie that we're seeing here from Netanyahu and company. And what J.D. Hall is saying is that this is all interesting.

It was all a build-up to what happened. And, you know, they can spit on us. They can throw rocks at, church buildings and so forth and spit on the church, the people that are there. But there's no hate involved in that. But don't you dare speak out against any of the government there, the fake Israel. My last question, I've been seeing a lot of videos. I'm sure a lot of people here have as well in Florida with people being visited by the police

for making post against Israel. Is that real? Yes. I happen to be in Miami when the first. First police door knock took place. So it's real. It's real. Oh, listen to how bad it is.

Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, pushed legislation through the Florida legislature this year, making it a criminal offense to criticize Israel, patently unconstitutional. There's not even room for debate. It's unconstitutional. Yeah, that's right. And so while I happen to be in Miami, a woman in Miami Beach posted on Facebook, free Palestine. And the next thing, you know, Miami Beach Police, did you put this on Facebook? She said, yes, arrest me. Not only did Ron DeSantis push this through the Florida legislature, he actually didn't sign it as soon as it was passed.

Instead, he took it. He flew to Israel. he signed it in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu and gave him the pen as a souvenir. So does he work for the people of Florida, or does he work for Benjamin Nathaniahu? That's scary. Can you imagine?

Yeah, so the things we're seeing are true. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, I have a friend. You know, there are 32 states in the country that have anti-BDS legislation, boycott, divested sanction.

So I have a friend who got hired to give a speech at Georgia State University. No big deal. And she goes, they send her in advance the contract, you know, going to give you $500 to do the speech, and you have to pledge allegiance to Israel. She's like, what are you talking about? I have to pledge allegiance to Israel. I'm not going to pledge allegiance to Israel. I don't have allegiance to Israel.

Well, you can't be a contractor. in the state of Georgia and giving the speech and taking state money would make her a contractor unless you pledge fealty to Israel. And she said no. And they canceled her speech. So she sued. And she lost. She lost in the Supreme Court of Georgia.

It's not good at all. I just learned this week that in addition to the billions of dollars that we give to Israel in American taxpayers' money, the states all... give money to Israel as well. Yeah, look at what they have done. They rob us not only of money, but they rob us of our God-given rights and our constitutional protection.

You know, when they come after free speech, folks, that tells you who they are. And look at what Marco Rubio is doing. Under President Trump, the United States will stand with the Jewish people. We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community.

We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters, like Iran and Sarah's killer. But we do see an eventual light at the end of this long tunnel of suffering. One can imagine a Middle East in which the Abraham Accords eventually reign. So thank you for the opportunity to address you. Yeah, so you can't come to America as a tourist. So cancel your visa if you have criticized Israel.

What is going on with this? And we can criticize the American government, but we can't criticize Israel. You know who controls you then, right? You know who controls the American government as well, don't you? Now, there was a follow-up to that because that was so damaging that you had community notes were put on that, talking about, oh, this is AI generated. Here's the person who put it together responding to that. This is 100% proof that they do not want you to know what is real and what is not.

Yesterday, I posted this clip of Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, declaring that if you criticize Israel, the United States will revoke your visa. We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community. And woke up this morning to a community note claiming that this video of Marco Rubio is AI and that he did not see. say this. If he didn't say this, it's irresponsible to post it. And I'm just like, yo. This is the transcript from the official State Department website. He says, quote, we must stand in solidarity with Israel. We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community. We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against

Israel. This is verbatim what he said in the clip. It's all right there. 100.000. 100% not AI. So I started to do a little digging to try to figure out what the heck is going on here. Remember this lady, the Israeli AI policy expert, talking about how they can use AI to quote unquote correct the digital world. Which means that instead of trying to control the whole world and trying to somehow manage what's happening in this big blog of Wikipedia and social media, we can go directly to the companies with clear technical and advocacy solutions. For the first time, they're the past to correcting the digital world. They really don't beat the stereotypes, do they? Anyway, the way community notes works is that it allows everyday users, quote, unquote, to go in and say, add helpful context, facts, or corrections to post. And they say this is not managed by the corporate staff, but is actually approved by a community of contributors using a consensus algorithm.

Now, that sounds like something that you can bot. In fact, Netanyahu and his allies have been caught. using armies of bots to influence social media discourse as reported in the Times of Israel. So you can imagine one account writes the community note, claiming that the very real video that I posted of Marco Rubio is AI, and then a bunch of bots swarm in and create this consensus to say, yep, thank you so much. Super helpful. You see, AI is now becoming a tool for them to muddy the waters,

because guess what, the entire campaign against Israel is. isn't coming from the fact that we don't like Jews or we don't like Israel. It's coming from all of us collectively viewing these horrific videos, tens of not hundreds of thousands of people being blown up, a genocide broadcast in 4K, and then political leaders saying the most dystopian shit, and then all of a sudden now they can go, nope, that didn't happen. We didn't say that.

It was AI. This is literally 1984. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. it was their final and most essential. That's right. Yeah, it is very important for the totalitarians to get you to say that two plus two equals five. Now, when I look at that, it's still not clear to me whether somebody took the verbatim statement from the State Department and had Marco Rubio read that using AI. I'm not really sure if that was an actual clip of Marco Rubio or if that was AI reading it.

You know, we have done here on this broadcast because we have a lot of people who listen to this without seeing. it. When I've got a clip that somebody is speaking in a foreign language and it's got subtitles there, we've had a couple of different occasions where we have had, it might be Netanyahu speaking in Hebrew, it might be Georgia Maloney speaking in Italian. What we do is we feed their voice into the computer into AI and then give it the script, which is the actual subtitles that are there. That's much better than me trying to read along with it because the pace that they put the subtitles there is paste to the language that they're speaking at, which is not really paste to you being able to read it. So we have that being read by that person's voice, and you can see the subtitles if you're

looking at it. Now, that means that if we get something that is being a pronouncement from Rubio's State Department that we have Marco Rubio doing it, we're going to be careful in terms of putting a disclaimer on there, saying this is actually AI Rubio reading a State Department statement. I think that is really what happened with this. I mean, it could be bad enough that maybe he actually did record a statement of that, and then they have bots from Israel denying that that was what was said, because it is so over-the-top damaging when you look at what is actually being said. So meanwhile, we got Netanyahu's office released a transcript of the speech that he made to the evangelicals that he met with. He said, we are descendants from the original Hebrews,

the Holy Land, we are the first part of that Judeo-Christian heritage, which we cherish, which we have given the world, and the civilization of freedom and faith. And again, we have to stand up and defend it. It's under attack from the rising tide of anti-Semitism and anti-evangelicalism. It's not an accident that the two are coming under a joint attack, because we are one. No, there is no unity between people who are anti-Christ and Christians, unless the Christians throw Christ away and unite themselves to a fake Israel that is a political entity. And that really is what is happening. There is no legitimate fellowship that we would have with that. There is no legitimacy behind the label of Judeo-Christian. And so anybody can trace his

ancestry back and see where it actually goes and they can't trace it back except for a couple of generations. These are people who have set up an ethnic racist state of a master race and yet they are afraid to submit themselves to the test to show their ethnicity. That is the hypocrisy behind all of this stuff. Well, I want to talk before we end up, before we run out of time here, I want to talk a little bit about what is happening in terms of economics and in terms of where gold is, we pointed out yesterday we had Donald Trump giving massive amounts of money to Japan to prop up the yen. And we have fiat currencies around the world. This is one of the reasons why everybody, all these different central banks are loading up on gold if they can. You've got some countries that have had to sell gold because they are now in that rainy day for which they were accumulating gold because they, because they, either have to buy massive amounts of oil or they have lost their ability to sell oil. And so they are selling the gold to cover their costs based on what has happened with this.

But again, the Fed left interest rates unchanged. They pledged an unwavering commitment to bring inflation down. Well, how are you going to do that? Are you going to have everybody wear win buttons? Remember that was what Gerald Ford and company did? Yeah, we've got a new program. Whip inflation now. When and they've had these win buttons. I guess are you tired of winning whipping inflation now? No, we're not whipping any inflation. As a matter of fact, Thomas Massey said

that he was glad to have opposed this massive spending when you look at the huge chunk that has been put in with Trump. And of course, if you include Biden in that number, that's the bulk of probably about half of our accumulated debt has been put in by these clowns lately. He said, I'm happy that I'm not part of that debt party. I'm glad I'm not voting for that. But as we look at this, we've got a lot of analysts that various bank companies and Wall Street companies are looking at the $4,000 level of gold. They believe it's a floor. They think it offers a compelling value as investors are looking beyond all of the rhetoric of the Fed and the rhetoric of Trump as he manipulates all this.

If you look at the economic reality, not what he's talking about with a war and the fake pronouncements of peace being right around the corner. Now, if you look at the reality of what he's doing and the reality of what he is about to do, as Robert Pape pointed out, we are in an escalation trap. And that escalation trap is not just about war. That escalation trap is also about our spending and our debt. And so you need to find some way to protect whatever wealth you can protect. And the best way that you can do that with is to put some into physical gold and silver.

If you go to David Knight. That'll take you to Tony Ardabon's website of Wise Wolf Gold. And he has a program where you can actually start saving on a regular basis. That's a very powerful thing to consistently save a small amount of money, even if a small amount of money. And that also allows you to dollar cost average over a period of time. His wolf pack can be set up. You can go in for as little as $50 or you can go up to several thousand dollars.

You can get in or out at any point in time. But of course, he can also help you with transactions of physical gold and silver. They get you out of a dependency of a fiat currency where you have counterclaims to it. It also can get you away from a situation where somebody else has physical control over your investments. And when you look at the stock market, market. And look at how they have changed the UCC code over the last couple of years. Many of us don't realize that if all of this crashes all at once, if we have a market crash, they have subtly changed behind the scenes without telling anybody. They have changed the way

the UCC code is set up so that even though you bought the stock is the people who are holding it will have a superior position in terms of liquidating that. This is why they keep talking about how we will own nothing and we'll be happy. I don't know that we'll be happy about it, but they are manufacturing a pump and dump crash. And when that happens and it gets big enough that everything goes into bankruptcy, you will find that you are not in the first position. You are in the second or third or maybe even lower position based on the subtle changes that they've made in the UCC code in every state. Higher debt, erosion, appraisal. purchasing power in the major developing economies, so is one person, which is why he thinks that

4,000 is a great place to reload gold. I think that is true as well. Well, that is all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for joining us. And folks, let's go with the bipartisan effort to resist these data surveillance sites. As I said, we're going to have an interview with somebody who's been very active about doing this in her state as a state legislator, we're going to have that interview. We'll play that for you on Friday. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.

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

Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find. at the Davidnightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
