Starting point is 00:00:21 in a world of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 9th of September, year of our Lord, 2006. Well, today we're going to start with 9-11, because we're just two days away from the 25th anniversary. We're going to expose some more phony fables that are there. And at the same time, we look at what is happening to us. Folks, the issue of our day right now, this point, is the police surveillance crisis.
Starting point is 00:01:01 And I call it a crisis because I like the Chinese characters that they use, you know, they have different compound characters that make up their words. They have a character for danger, another one for opportunity. This is a very dangerous thing, but it is also an opportunity for us to get outside of this two-party block and actually do something to take power away from these corrupt people, just like the lockdowns and MRI were six years ago. They've not stopped his problems. They've continued, and they came back with a vengeance with Trump.
Starting point is 00:01:34 He began his second regime on the first day he was in office with AI and MRNA technology. And that's where we are right now. That's how he began. He resumed it. And we'll resume the show right in just a moment here. Well, as I've said many times, Trump has a day one. me and forth turning. And here we are Canadian tariff shock. Everyday items that now could cost you 50% more. Oh, don't worry. Somebody else will pay it, right? No, wrong. Yeah, forget about the Labor Day
Starting point is 00:02:15 sale. We've got the Trump price gouging that is on its way. Pay more for Canadian imports. Things like toilet paper, car parts, cars themselves, lumber, aluminum steel, all these different things. Trump doesn't want it coming from Canada. So even if you want it, it doesn't make it. It doesn't matters what he wants because he's now the king, the dictator. He will rule by phony emergencies and executive orders that he piggybacks on top of his phony emergencies. Well, um, the, uh, Carney in Canada, the prime minister there said, uh, we were attacked. You're at war when you get attacked. And we got attacked. And it is an act of aggression from Trump. It's absolutely his choice. There's no need to changed the status quo. There's no need to have one war after the other. Now we've got the Zionists in
Starting point is 00:03:06 Argentina allied with Trump and Israel. They're now pushing for another Falklands war. I mean, just leave well enough alone. It was it was 150 years that Falklands had belonged to the British, the Argentines didn't have anything involved there except their ego, but it was a petulant little dictator there who decided that he needed some public support. And as Geraldson, Lentie is going to be our guest today, always says, when all else fails, they take you to war. So that little dictator there in Argentina took them to war with the Falcon Islands, and it was almost comedic. People died, so it's not a comedy.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But to watch that slow armada coming from the UK, I'll never forget that. You know, every day, there's a little bit closer here. How much long is it going to be before they get there? And I say, you better get out of there because we're coming in a very long wind up. And the war itself didn't last too long because it was so. mismatched. It was simply a dictator's ego and they called his bluff on it. Well, now they're starting to do the same thing again because Javier Malai has some issues. And we've got the monster of Israel, if ever there was one, Ben Gavir. What a monster he is. Pushing the crimes that
Starting point is 00:04:19 we see on a regular basis, pushing it more than anyone else, bragging about it, proud of it. And so he's now jumped in, of course, on the side of fellow Zionist Javier Malai. And he's, he's He's gotten some criticism from England as well, so he doesn't like England. But he's going to, or the UK, I should say, but he's going to cheerlead for a new war, a new Falklands War. Because this is the hallmark of Zionism, isn't it? You don't care what the boundaries are. You don't care if people live there for centuries or for millennia. You just tell them, get out, I'm taking it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's mine now. Same thing you see happening with the Israeli settlers. They are terrorists. and many people are calling them terrorists, but they are a microcosm of that terrorist regime in Israel. That's exactly the way all of Israel operates. And so we were attacked. You get a war when you're attacked,
Starting point is 00:05:13 and so we got attacked. And it's always these wars of aggression. Trump choosing to do these things and choosing to put America in dire straits economically, as well as a risk of war to us as well. He wrote on a true social, they up the ante by blasting the once friendly neighbor with threats no longer will sell the Bombadier Canadian jet made in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Unless it's made in the U.S. Trump said the aircraft maker must build its jets in the U.S. or lose access to the market. Again, he doesn't, it's always an excrement hits the fan scenario in a Trump administration. A guy who has brought us more toilet paper shortages than anybody else. He says, I don't want Canadian cars. I don't want Canadian parts. I don't want Canadian anything.
Starting point is 00:06:04 They've been ripping us off for decades and it's going to stop. They had willing buyers and sellers of Canadian products. And, you know, Trump doesn't care if you want these things because you can't have them because Trump doesn't want them. Because it's not about economics. It's not about geopolitics. It's not about geopolitics. It's about ego politics. He doesn't want them.
Starting point is 00:06:25 So you can't have them. He wants a centrally planned, centrally controlled economy. Controlled by him for his own objectives as a mafia boss. And I showed you the cartoon yesterday. It was absolutely, it wasn't funny, it wasn't even pathetic. It was disgusting. He puts himself in a hockey uniform with AI and he's beating Carney on the ground. I'm not a fan of Carney.
Starting point is 00:06:51 This guy is a central banker. He has been the head. of both the Canadian and the UK Central Bank. He's not a good guy. And yet Trump manages to sink even lower. And as he is still trying to blow up energy around the world, energy crises around the world, isn't it amazing when we look at these wars?
Starting point is 00:07:14 We've got wars in Israel. We've got wars in Ukraine. And, of course, that's an unnecessary war. Really, that goes back, I think, to an act of aggression by NATO. that's a long-term train running. It doesn't justify Putin attacking them, but they were passively aggressive. I wouldn't even say passively aggressive,
Starting point is 00:07:37 but it was a long history that we've talked about before. But we look at what is happening in the Ukraine, and they just put out a video. I don't have it in the deck here, but some wife took a picture of her husband being taken away. They're going around kidnapping people. We've seen them kidnapping young people on the street and taking men off to war. They basically jump them like a gang, beat them, drag them, throw them into a van.
Starting point is 00:08:05 They take them back to the station. Many people have been killed at the station as part of the beating. Now they're going out and getting middle-aged and older men and kidnapping them and sending them to the front lines as a fodder. And they're in handcuffs and in a bus. and there's pictures taking up stills as well as a video, and basically they're all crying because they know they're never going to see their family again. They're being let off to die at the front.
Starting point is 00:08:31 For what? For what? Why is NATO aggressively pushing this? And why is Trump aggressively pushing, continually pushing, and reviving this war with Iran? He's now struck Iranian oil tankers that are near Kargonne. He's getting really close to it. And so gas prices have skyrocketed again. Goldman Sachs,
Starting point is 00:08:52 It says there's no way that this is going to end probably throughout 2027. So they're looking at Hormuz not opening up throughout 27. In other words, Goldman Sachs is saying, Nacho, not a chance. Ormuse opens again. And this is all Trump and Israel that is doing this. It is, as I've said many times, he is a one man fourth turning. He wants to take us into a global depression. as well as a global war.
Starting point is 00:09:25 When you look at what is happening with Ukraine and with Russia, they are attacking each other's infrastructure. They started blowing up power stations, and they started blowing up oil refineries. Then they started blowing up retail centers, right, to get people's attention, took out the Russia equivalent of Amazon. And then Russia responded in kind
Starting point is 00:09:48 and took out their retail distribution. When you got everything, concentrated as we have been doing. When you got a centrally controlled retail distribution, rather than having a massive network of shopkeepers and small businesses that are out there, you got these big, gigantic warehouses. They're very easy target to take down. You don't think that our infrastructure is vulnerable like that? Of course it is. But as you look at the infrastructure of Ukraine and Russia, as they're destroying each other, this is what Trump wants to do on a global basis.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And that's what he is doing on a global basis. That's what he's doing with this Iran war. What he's doing is he's destroying the global economy, taking us into a global depression, which will take us into a global war. As Joel Sinti's been pointing out for the longest time, he says, I think World War III has already started. He's been saying that for years.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Well, another take on this is from James Carville. Remember the guy who said, it's the economy stupid? He said, they don't care about Bill Clinton and the allegations of sexual harassment. and rape. They don't care about him lying under oath about a consensual affair with Monica Lewinsky. No, he said they only care about the economy. Well, he's got another interesting comment now.
Starting point is 00:11:02 He says that Trump wants the Republicans to lose big in the midterms. He said he wants to torture the Republicans. Well, you know, he was a lifelong Democrat, and I always referred to Trump as a New York City Democrat. I don't think anything about Trump is what he pretends it to be. But it is an interesting take, isn't it, what James Carville is saying, saying he thinks that he's trying to intentionally tank the Republican Party. I think that Trump is intentionally trying to tank America and the world, as I said before, one man's forth turning. He wants a global depression and a global war.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I think that is really what is being done. But Carville says it's the only logical answer for the things that Trump has recently said and done. He said, Trump says people shouldn't worry about AI. Just go full speed ahead. He says that the troops killed in Iran can't get certain benefits because we haven't declared war. Yeah, that's a horrific story. And I'm going to talk a bit more about that. It's so tragic.
Starting point is 00:11:59 You know, you've got this man who has killed, his family left behind his wife and two young children. And they're denying him benefits because it's not an official war. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, thank you for your service, right? makes me want to throw up every time I hear Sean Hannity say that. You know, a guy who never served who always pushed every war he could just with, like, with Lindsey Graham. The only answer he said, Carville, that I can come up with that explains the current
Starting point is 00:12:30 behavior of Trump is simply this. He wants Republicans to lose. He hates them. He wants to torture them. And so, yeah, there's that, isn't it? That is one explanation. Well, he was torturing the events of 9-11 yesterday. and he says, this is a report from the Independent.
Starting point is 00:12:50 So we already knew before Trump began his Tuesday morning speech commemorating 9-11 that he wasn't going to visit New York. He doesn't intend to travel to ground zero to stand alongside every other living U.S. president on Friday. Trump was going to make a speech about that day. And that was it. And, of course, then the speech becomes what? About himself and about his war with Iran. and about supporting Israel and the rest of this. So today, that is yesterday,
Starting point is 00:13:20 in front of a 21-foot steel beam that was salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center transported in front of the White House, he showed us what he talks about when he talks about September 11th. So he doesn't, you know, Muhammad's not going to go to the mountain, the mountain's going to be brought to Muhammad.
Starting point is 00:13:38 They bring the 9-11 steel beam to him. Trump opened by welcoming the crowd to one of the safest cities in the country. started talking about DC's monuments, statues, and fountains looking especially good. Same kind of thing that he did after Charlie Kirk was killed. Remember that? Oh, yeah, he's like a son of me. Oh, by the way, I told you about my ballroom. It's just like what Jeremy Clarkson used to do with top gear. Oh, no. Well, anyway, he would do that type of thing when it's only a car crash or something.
Starting point is 00:14:14 He immediately pivoted to Iran. He said, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon because Israel doesn't want them to have one, right? And the next, the president attempted to tell a story about Howard Lutnik. Lucky Lutnik, he says, right? And so, again, he had almost 700 employees that were lost in Canter Fitzgerald that was in the World Trade Center. But he was very lucky that day. He took his son to school that morning. And as Trump tells it, he...
Starting point is 00:14:41 He said, his wife would always be screaming at him. You never take our child to school. And after four years, he did. Don't you think they've got a butler or chauffeur, should say, a chauffeur and a limousine driver taking the kid to school? That's what I think happened. Then came a vintage Trump 9-11 story, which nobody had ever verified.
Starting point is 00:15:03 A claim that he was present at the construction site next door to the World Trade Center on the day after the planes at the tower. That a firefighter, listen to this. lifted me up and started running with me. This may be one of the most improbable stories of an impossible stories to come out yet. But he keeps making this stuff up. He said, they thought the building was going to come down. And he chuckled as he recounted this, adding several times that it is hard to carry a man as big as he is.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah. Well, here's another fable. And this is coming from a pilot who has a lot of experience. he's had I think over 20,000 hours. And he said there's absolutely no way I could have flown that flight path in New York, especially not the corkscrew high speed flight path that was in the Pentagon. That is just impossible for that plane to do. It can't move at that low and altitude or that, you know, the thicker air at that speed
Starting point is 00:16:03 and that kind of maneuverability. And here he is right here. His name is Captain Dan Hanley. And he made it very clear that he thinks that that is absolutely impossible. I agree. We've had a lot of not just architects and engineers, Ryan, Love and Truth. Robert Gage, who had the interview with him last Friday,
Starting point is 00:16:24 and they have a big convention that is going to be happening. I guess convention is not the right word, conference, I think. And speakers on all different aspects of this. It's going on starting tomorrow and going through Sunday. and if you can't attend in New York, it is going to be online as well. So there's going to be a wealth of information there for people to educate themselves about how this police surveillance state was kicked off with America's Reichstag fire. Now here's another example.
Starting point is 00:16:56 This is a video of CGI, this guy believes, is part of the underlying fable of 9-11. Take a look at this rare super slow-motion video of flight. 175 that hit the South World Trade Center Tower on 9-11, 2001. Take a really close look because there are two impossibilities I'm going to show you here. This video was allegedly shot by Michael Herzegani, a diamond merchant based in Los Angeles, California. The first impossibility is a real airplane couldn't have sliced through a building with a steel facade, with reinforced concrete flooring, and 47 steel support beams, a jet's wing can't slice through steel building like a hot knife through butter. But that's the story the news media wants us to believe, and most people
Starting point is 00:17:51 are still believing this hoax. But the second impossibility is in plain sight. In fact, I can't believe it took me over 12 years to see. Let me show you a still of this video. I've highlighted a building that's clearly behind the South World Trade Center Tower. Yet when we pay close attention to the video, Flight 175's wing should appear in front of the building, not behind it. This is a layering CGI glitch, and this proves that this video, which was seen all over the world over and over and over again, year after year, is a CGI rendering. Thus, it's not an amateur witness video. It's a fake. And this is one of many, many faked videos put out by the news media. It's not interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I have... I've turned on the sharing option for this video. I have looked at this stuff for a long time. That's why I think this conference is coming up with Richard Gage for the next four days is going to be really valuable. There is so much that's there. So many lies that have been told to us. I hadn't seen that particular one before. I thought that was very interesting. I think you're going to see a lot of that kind of stuff with Richard Gage's program is there. Well, Ground Zero has become part of Trump's political story has met.
Starting point is 00:19:16 This is from Newsweek. They said, is Trump entered national politics, September 11th increasingly became a part of his public identity. And he really has owned the police surveillance state, hasn't he? That is really key. But, you know, it's a big part of his public identity, just like it is for Rudy. He and Rudy have piggybacked their career on this to a large degree,
Starting point is 00:19:40 just like Arlen Specter did with the JFK assassinations. National. Arlen Specter, a guy who's a minor political operative and sold the magic bullet lie as part of the Warren Commission. And then he gets rewarded of becoming a senator for life. Rudy Giuliani and Trump have really milked this for everything that is worth. I have to think. And now we are ruled by a criminal syndicate from Ground Zero who are instituting a police surveillance
Starting point is 00:20:10 state. That's the bottom line of what we're seeing here. These people are criminals, as I said before. If you believe the official story, how do you justify what Rudy did, even with the official story? Because what he did came after the collapse of the buildings and all the rest of the stuff. He sent people in to clean it up very rapidly. Many of us would say to get rid of the evidence.
Starting point is 00:20:35 He didn't want to look for bodies, survivors. No, no. We got to get this stuff out of there as fast as possible. And I don't care that we don't have masks. Go in there. So we had a lot of people die from that, still dying from that. How do you justify that for Rudy? How does he become a hero?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Well, these same people are now pushing data centers. And it's kind of interesting to me. I go to a lot of different news sites. I go to over four dozen news sites every day and look at which articles I want to go further into. I don't see anybody cheering data centers except for that chuddly cartoon character. they've put up to a cheer for Trump and make fun of MAGA. He's cheering him. And the only other one I saw was WND, this hopeless cheerleader of Zionism and Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:21:24 This is the headline, data centers can bolster revenue and help local residents. And of course, that's the lie that we've heard from Trump repeatedly, isn't it? And from Marsha of the Beast, Blackburn, running for governor here in Tennessee. We're going to talk to Gerald Cindy, one of the issues he's got in, uh, one of the One of the articles he's got in Trends Journal this week is about the rise of third parties. How people are desperate for that. Yes, we are. And there is a third party candidate for governor here in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Hadley, so we can vote against Marshall without voting for a Democrat. I'm so glad. I've never voted for a Democrat in my life. I'm going to, I was about to do it. Because she's all about ID for everything. She cheers the data centers. She cheers the surveillance. Senate systems. And so I cannot support that. I think that is at the center of this long-term
Starting point is 00:22:19 plan that we've been, we're now 25 years into. And so I would vote for a Democrat before I'd vote for Marshall Blackburn, but I don't have to. Now there is a independent in Tennessee. We're trying to get him on the show. Lockawani County taxpayers in Pennsylvania recently received a painful surprise in the form of a 33% property tax increase. And so that's the way they begin this article. You know, we've seen that happen to a lot of people because the data centers. They give massive tax breaks of hundreds of millions of dollars to these companies that are market cap approaching a trillion dollars or more. And then they go up 180% on the property taxes. That are the 30% tax increase is small compared to that. And so then they continue. They say,
Starting point is 00:23:08 this question is not where the data centers generate any noise or use. any resources. Virtually any activity does that, right? Yeah, you know, it's not uncommon for a business to use more water than one and a half million households, which is what we're talking about, these hyperscale data centers. They are not data, stop calling them data centers. They're hyperscale surveillance centers. That's what they are. You need to understand their purpose, and you need to understand the scale of these things. So don't minimize it by calling it a data centers, anything but. Rather, the issue is where the local governments will address those concerns responsibly. Or will they panic with onerous restrictions? Inevitably, they will chase
Starting point is 00:23:51 away investment and leave taxpayers with even higher bills. Yeah, is that how that works? Is that, you know, we've always seen the same narrative. This is not my first rodeo. I've been talking about this for a long time when it comes to stadiums. We constantly see stadiums built for teams that owned by billionaires where the people who play the boys sports are multi-millionaires. And you have to foot the bill for that. Because, you know, there will be no economic growth that we don't have a professional sports stadium. All those small businesses and everything, so you're like, pony up.
Starting point is 00:24:27 You got to pay for the big guys to come in here. It's the same story, again, except this is even larger in scale. This is hyper-scaled crony capitalism, really. That's what it is. So they go on and say, well, this is about economic growth. A choice facing communities across America isn't whether the digital economy will grow, but whether or not they will be a part of it. Yeah, will you be a part of it?
Starting point is 00:24:51 They keep telling us that we won't. You should believe the tech bros when they say they're going to take your jobs and replace you. You should believe people like Bloomberg when he runs. And he says, well, yeah, we had people who were farmers and we had factory workers, but now the smart ones of us are working at how we're going to take away your jobs. We've just got to figure out how to pacify you so that you don't come after us with guillotine. Well, you know, the White House for Labor Day put out this video. Take a look at this video.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Here they are. This is machines making a Donald Trump pen, of course. And you see them assembling the pen, then writing his signature on there in gold on the black pen. And they're so happy about this because, hey, this is American. and manufacturing in America. And as people point out, there's not a single human being in that factory
Starting point is 00:25:44 touching that in. Not a single one. That is what the technocracy that Donald Trump represents wants. They don't want you to have a job. They're not going to give you a job. There aren't any jobs in these centers
Starting point is 00:25:59 that say, well, a lot of these centers, they can employ more than a thousand workers during construction alone. And that's the only time that they employ the workers is during construction. Take a look at the parking lots. Yeah, they're going to have these hyperscale data centers. They might have thousands of people building this thing to start with. It creates a big problem for the local community to handle that.
Starting point is 00:26:20 But then they all just go. It's like a gold rush or something, right? And abandon everything. You wind up with a half dozen jobs. Not a half dozen, a couple dozen jobs. But look at how small the parking lots are in these things. They're not going to be hiring people there. and they openly tell you that.
Starting point is 00:26:35 They brag about how they are going to replace people with machines. Well, Rand Paul put up a listening, said when the Pentagon's former AI policy director says that we're drifting towards China's surveillance model, that should stop everybody in their tracks. You know, it stopped me in my tracks. Marsha Blackburn had absolutely no irony about the fact that she did that stupid commercial.
Starting point is 00:27:01 And she's setting in a Chinese restaurant we can't let shiny get ahead of us and she's crumbling up a fortune cookie there. And it's like, okay, so how are they getting ahead of us? They are ahead of us in their surveillance model. But that is not what we want, is it? We want to be number one in surveillance. No warrant, no probable cause. Just a permanent record of where you've been and where you drive.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Rand Paul said this is precisely why the Fourth Amendment exists. and again, he's quoting a guy who's a former AI Pentagon chief. His name is Mark Beale, warning about the potential misuse of AI surveillance tools, especially connected in a network like flock cameras. He also highlights the importance of holding law enforcement accountable for any misuse of technology, except that they get legal immunity, especially when it is the department. Now, we've seen rogue guys who have used this to stalk a woman, whatever, and we've seen a lot of police officers get fired for the abuse of this.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Once it becomes a departmental policy, however, they're not going to be fired for that. And once the pushback against these things is over and they don't have to worry about the optics of it, you can bet you know how they're going to use this stuff. It's not about going after crime. As a matter of fact, he warns, he said, China-like surveillance state, literally where AI capabilities ultimately enable and are enabling right now. Acknowledge that the technology can benefit law enforcement. Well, that's a theory, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:28:38 What have we seen it used for so far? Well, the FBI crime statistics, even for property crime, car thefts, and things like that, it hasn't made any difference at all in the place where it is the most heavily saturated in Atlanta. However, we have seen these cameras used to harass people over policy issues and tickets. Yes, go ahead. Yeah, and we keep mentioning that same story of the guy that harassed the woman. Because when Flock had all this rash of people discovering the misuse of it by many police forces, random officers, their response was to make it harder to see who's looking up what.
Starting point is 00:29:17 So they responded by making it easier to get away with these sorts of things. They don't give a damn about crime. No, they don't. And all the stuff about auditing this and putting in guns. guidelines, folks. That's just fake. We can't let Iran have nuclear weapons, right? But we can give nuclear weapons to the police to violate your constitutional rights. That's what we're talking about here. They should not have those weapons, ever. It's tough to bring the message of compromise to the American people, said Beale, especially when it comes to our constitutional protections. Well,
Starting point is 00:29:49 don't ever compromise any constitutional protections of your God-given rights. We should never do that. We'll be right back, folks. Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against a real economic oppression. In our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will be something else.
Starting point is 00:31:21 It's your move. listening to the David Knight Show. We're talking about monopoly. And at that point I was about tea. It'll be something else. Today, what the monopoly is about is a monopoly of power. It's about the national security state and the star chamber procedures that they have created. And it's not going to be stopped unless we have another tea party.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And we have a jury notification to support the people who threw the things in the dumpster. And we have to say that. that we don't agree with the prosecution of those people. Let me give you an example of this. I'm talking about national security. It's always the plan to save themselves and let the rest of us die. To put us at risk to take our money and to do criminal things and keep them all secret from us because we're not allowed to see what they do.
Starting point is 00:32:15 There is no transparency. There is no honesty. There is no integrity. There is no morality in government left anymore. They keep everything secret for a reason because if we knew, they'd be going to jail. or there would be a major revolution. And so they keep everything secret. And when you look at how the police guard their privacy,
Starting point is 00:32:36 how many times have we reported about somebody who has been hassled, who has been beaten, who has been arrested and jailed because they film the police? And continually the courts will support that and say, yes, you can film in the public area. And they have to defend that because that's what the police want to do. And so the police are saying, well, we can film anybody that we want to with our flock cameras because this is a public area. But don't you film the police? And by the way, don't you film flock?
Starting point is 00:33:08 When you got the flock drivers who are out there putting this stuff up, they don't want to be filmed either. How's that for irony, huh? Or hypocrisy. They call the police on a reporter who was filming them, putting this stuff up within one mile of his home. Hi, I'm Officer Smith with the city of... Milton Police Department and the reason why I'm stopping you is because there is a vehicle that says that you have been following them. Yes, that's correct. This is what happened when we tried to record Flock installing a new camera on public roads.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Roll your window down, sir, your passenger window, roll it down. Where's that cop from? Your window down, your passenger window, roll it down. What country is that caught from? Roll your window down, your passenger. You didn't say rear passenger? I did say that. You said passenger.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I'm Officer Smith with the city of Milton Police Department, and the reason why I'm stopping you is because there is a vehicle that says that you have been following them. Yes, that's correct. I'm a member of the press. Okay. I was following at a distance because I'm documenting them putting up flock cameras. I'm an investigative report. How did three Milton Georgia police cars end up in a rearview,
Starting point is 00:34:29 We've been investigating Flock and police abuses of its 120,000 camera nationwide surveillance network since January. That's right. Doesn't it tell you something when the police don't want you to film them? When ICE doesn't want you to film them? When you can get killed trying to film them. When Flock doesn't want you filming them. But of course, they've got a right to film you, don't they? Well, it's not just Flock.
Starting point is 00:34:55 The police can't be trusted with our data. They can't be trusted of this power either. This is from Free Thought Project in Illinois State Police database that's available online listed personal information, including social security numbers. Now, this is for people who were former offenders, but they're now in nursing homes. And the point that Free Thought Project is making is that, well, after you are out of prison, they don't say what the crime was, you know, if there's anything that we don't know if it was serious. I mean, it's not necessarily, there's nothing in here indicating that these people are sexual offenders. I mean, they do keep track them because there is a high repeat rate for that type of thing, and they warn people about that. But this is something different.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Since 2020, the state police in Illinois have maintained a publicly accessible online map of 30,000 people that it has labeled as, quote, unquote, offenders, and 685 nursing homes across the state. The map included the first and last names, the date of birth, the home address, a phone number, the FBI. numbers and social security numbers, everything you need for identity theft, right? It's not stated what they have been convicted of. They may have had a drug charge from decades ago before marijuana was legalized in Illinois, but the past still follows them. Well, the issue is I see it is not really one of competency. You know, they just put the stuff up because nobody really thought about it. You know, put the social security number up there. Oh, wait. Maybe we shouldn't do that. Now, I say that They can't be trusted with this kind of information simply because of human nature and human nature when it responds to power.
Starting point is 00:36:34 That is the danger of this. And this is why I say the police should never have flock cameras under any circumstances. Yes, Lance? I saw this late last night. I was going to mention to you. Florida just had their DMV hacked and the hackers are threatening to release all the driver's licenses of the. people in Florida if they don't get a ransom before 9-11. Well, that's kind of interesting.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You know, one of the first times I've heard about these automated toll booths that started in Netherlands, there was a lot of resistance to it. And the story was that the people in the Netherlands at that time, that was in the early 90s, they said, we do not want to have something like this. Because if you start to read our license plates for the toll booth, how's that data going to be used. And who's going to be able to get that data, you know, just like the DMV? And what they said was, they said, you know, when the Nazis came in, we were pretty manic, you know, in the Netherlands. We liked to have everything in order. And we kept all this information about everybody that was there.
Starting point is 00:37:41 We had it packed in drawers, a three-by-five cards, you know, like a, remember the old style library when you go to a physical library. And he had all the different cards there for the books. They had stacked in and said, they were so. densely packed that we tried to burn them when it came in because they didn't want the um the nazis finding out people's religious and political affiliations right which they would use against people said but there was so densely packed it was like trying to light a log with a match we couldn't set them on fire so the nazis got all that stuff we don't want to have that happen again and it's even easier with this stuff just like lans was just saying of florida dmv stuff hacked it gets even more
Starting point is 00:38:20 interesting. So they hacked the DMV and they're using Jeffrey Epstein's driver's license that they released as proof. So I can see this with the information redacted here on this website. But there's Jeffrey Epstein's driver's
Starting point is 00:38:36 license, sexual offender, safe driver. Yeah, I wonder, I guess he had the good insurance rates there in Florida is. Even though he's a pedophile and sexual offender, maybe he didn't have any tickets from the police. He knew how to fix him, I guess. Not his driver's license exactly, but some records.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yeah, yeah. Well, that's interesting, isn't it? Well, how do we stop this? As I pointed out yesterday a little bit, there's been several bills that have been put forward by some Republicans. None of them will stop it. You know, we've got the one coming from Thomas Massey and another individual to say, well, we're not going to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:39:10 How about that? That's not going to do it, folks. That's when he first started talking about that, he said, well, we'll stop all federal funding to them. That's the only thing that's going to stop it. the corruption at the local level in terms of what the federal government could do. Now, the reality is that if they're not going to take these things down, if you've got corrupt officials in your local area,
Starting point is 00:39:30 these things need to be taken down by us. And we need to have people's backs with that, which means that we've got to inform people about what juries are really about. The fully formed jury association, Fiji is what really people need. That really is the answer to this. So you've got another one that's put out by Tim Burchett here in Tennessee, the Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act. He said, we've got to ban those things, daggummit.
Starting point is 00:39:55 And well, it would prohibit federal agencies from purchasing or accessing automated surveillance systems that identify track or record individuals. Guess what? That's going to work out the same way that FISA worked for us. Remember, they were tracking people without a warrant back in the middle of the 20th century when they created the CIA in the NSA, NSA created by executive order, Truman, and they immediately began spying on Americans without warrants. And so the result of the church committee hearings, again, there were distractions about
Starting point is 00:40:29 assassination plots and heart attack guns and all the rest of so. But the key issue, why they convened that, was because it was the violation of the Fourth Amendment. They were searching Americans without a search warrant. And so what they created was the FISA court that would give them a warrant, and they created the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. And then they added an exception to it. Was it 702 or 703?
Starting point is 00:40:53 I can't remember. But they added the exception to it. So we can go a couple of hops here. And so now it's very easy when you put in a prohibition like that for them to go around it, modify it later. That's exactly what's going to. So that's not going to stop it either. So it's not a groundswell of pushback against it.
Starting point is 00:41:13 But there are some Republicans who can see at least the political. handwriting on the wall. Can we see the police state handwriting on the wall? So you have the Texas Public Policy Foundation and an essay described the company's cameras as an assault on your constitutional freedoms. Well, of course they are. They said, require warrant. Put a hard clock on retention measured in days, not years. Bar sharing with our out-of-state and federal agencies without a Texas judge's signature. Publish the audit logs. Give Texans. standing to ensure that our privacy is not violated. Well, here's how you can make sure that it's not violated.
Starting point is 00:41:52 You don't put the things up in the first place, where you take them down if they're already up. Nothing else is really going to do it. You can have all these other things that people go around those prohibitions. Look at what Trump is doing with everything. I mean, he's out there unilaterally starting wars, unilaterally starting trade wars with sanctions and all the rest of that. He does whatever he wishes.
Starting point is 00:42:13 He just has a phony emergency declaration. and then he starts issuing executive orders. Really simple. And he challenges anybody to stop him and nobody does. Nobody does. And so the same thing is going to happen with this. If you put it out there, if you build it, the crooks will come, right? If you build this database, the crooks will come for it.
Starting point is 00:42:34 If you build this network, the crooks in government who are there already because, look, every institution has got bad people in it. So it's going to be utilized by the bad people. and we have seen over and over again that the institutions do not police themselves. They do not reform themselves. If you put this there, it's going to be abused. They've got to be taken down. The National Drug Control Strategy thinks it's great.
Starting point is 00:42:58 They think it is a critical technological tool for domestic drug interdiction. These are the people who have failed from a law enforcement standpoint. Look, drug abuse is not a law enforcement issue. I've said this over and over again. It is a spiritual issue. And we've got over 55 years of failure to show that it is not a drug, it is not a law enforcement issue. And so we need to have more domestic drug interdiction. We need to have more surveillance on people.
Starting point is 00:43:31 That's really what the drug war was set up for. It was set up to eviscerate the Constitution. It was set up to enable corrupt individuals within government to make a lot of money, selling drugs, and of course the government has been a big pusher of drugs. So that's the opium epidemic. They had massive amounts of opium that were getting out of Afghanistan, or take a look at the crack cocaine epidemic. They used to fund a war. They sell us drugs to fund their wars, or they start wars so they can sell us drugs. And then they have a drug war, which is a war against the Constitution and against our God-given rights for a problem that they have created.
Starting point is 00:44:12 And so here's another example. Does gun control make us safer? What is the selling point for this always? When we have the Democrats who are selling gun control, what do they always say? Well, it's just too dangerous for individuals to have this stuff. You need to be safe. The only way you can be safe is take all the guns away. Well, as many people point out, the police can't make you safe.
Starting point is 00:44:39 A lot of people joke and say, well, it's, I like to carry a concealed weapon because it's a lot lighter than carrying a cop around with me all the time. Cops aren't always going to be there, as we see over and over again. Even if they show up within just seconds, think about how much damage is done in that amount of time. If you don't have somebody who is a rational law-abiding citizen with a gun to protect themselves and others, then that's the way it always goes. So when you have guns outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns, right? So people understand that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 And I think the people on the right who are cheering these surveillance centers, people like W&D, people like Chudley, the cartoon character and the people that he represents, I think they need to hear the fact that when privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy. And the outlaws will have privacy. They will work very hard to make sure they're switching out their license plates and all the rest of the things that need to be done. So they are not surveilled. It's not going to help with crime, just like the drug war hasn't helped with crime. And just like when you ban guns, the criminals still have them. It doesn't take them out of criminals' hands. When you ban privacy, it doesn't take the privacy away from the criminals.
Starting point is 00:45:52 We're always told. That's what we've got to do. We've got to surrender our liberty because it's going to make us safer. And it never does. It's a fool's errand. And you have something here with the surveillance of the flocks that it's not very different from what we were told with the vaccines that create imaginary problems. them. And they tell us that they've got something here that is effective and you're going to be
Starting point is 00:46:14 required to have it. Same type of thing. This is not going to give you safety and it is not effective. But it is a danger to you as well. So the police can't keep you safe. They can't protect your kids at school. They can't catch criminals any better in Atlanta with the flock cameras than they did before. Just like the drug war, the surveillance war will corrupt the police and the courts, and it will not achieve the stated purpose. And so the courts are going to be looking at whether or not you have the Supreme Court is going to decide whether or not you have the right to have an AR-15, one of the most common types of rifles out there.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Again, this is bans on so-called assault rifles, which can be, you know, whatever you want them to be, I guess. It's anything that looks scary. It really does kind of focus on attachments to them. And so how do you fight against something like this? perhaps there's a there's hope that the Supreme Court will defend the second amendment but they don't always get it right and as a matter of fact when you look at why people are saying well i think the Supreme Court is going to shut down this ban on assault weapons one of the reasons that they think
Starting point is 00:47:23 that'll happen is because the case of the district of columbia versus huller that was a case where an off-duty cop was denied having a weapon that he could carry personally when he was off duty. They said, no, you can't be trusted with that. Off duty. Only when you're wearing the uniform can you be trusted. How absurd that is. So he sued them. And the Supreme Court, I guess grudgingly admitted that the Second Amendment is about individual rights. All of the Bill of Rights are about individual rights, really. The Ninth and Tenth Amendment are basically just a summary saying, well, if we didn't give you this power, we haven't, if we didn't enumerate any of our liberties or rights that are there, doesn't mean that we don't
Starting point is 00:48:04 have them. And if you haven't been explicitly given some powers, you cannot assume that you have those powers. So just because we didn't list every single right doesn't mean that we don't have that right. And just because you have and you cannot assume that you got a power that was not given to you. Do you understand how important the Ninth and Tenth Amendment are and how they work together? So they point out, Heller recognized historical tradition of prohibiting dangerous and unusual weapons. The Cook County plaintiffs said, history demonstrates that only arms that are both dangerous and unusual may be banned.
Starting point is 00:48:44 And so they look at this, they say, well, okay, the so-called assault rifles, the AK-47s and not AK-47s, but the AR-15s, thank you. I had a brain lock up there for a moment. The AR-15s, they're very common. So if they're common, they're not unusual. usual and you can't ban them. So again, if you're talking about this, I think that is a very dangerous position for the Supreme Court to take, actually, to say that, well, if the weapon is unusual, then it can be banned. So I guess you're talking about what, fringe weapons or something?
Starting point is 00:49:23 Isn't there something about the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed? You will not do it around the edges. You will not start with unusual weapons and then move into the common weapons, but of course, that is what they always want to do. Well, speaking of weapons, I don't know why this guy, what kind of a weapon he used, but a man was arrested after allegedly shooting flaming projectiles at a flock camera, melting them into slag. That's the headline from Futurism. It says, either y'all can take them down or somebody will.
Starting point is 00:49:54 So he melts these things. And he leaves a tag there, as people do, you know, talking about deflocking. had a deflock sticker slapped on to what remained of the pole. So the police allegedly used a bizarre projectile to melt the automated license flight leaders. This is in Atlanta. 25-year-old Colby Williams was arrested, alleging that he had set fire to three of these things. And at least one camera was found completely melted. There was a deflocked sticker on the pole.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Fourth camera nearby was reportedly found with two bullet holes. And so again, the case for jury in holification. You need to show up and have that guy's back. He is a patriot. Another commenter made an appeal to patriotism. He said, it wasn't him. He was in the library, reading the Constitution. We can tell from that, right?
Starting point is 00:50:58 So while all this is happening I think is I want to know exactly what Flaming thing he used to take these out Yeah please share that with us so we can all See how that works You got lucky Lutnik out there Remember he made the lies about water usage and so forth Here he is lying about AI
Starting point is 00:51:21 And now we have a data center That has been caught watering its lawn while all the people in the area are on a year-long water restriction. Yeah. I mean, data centers don't use water. The data centers, this is propaganda by our adversaries to try to slow us down, right? Think about it. These AI things, they suck water, and they need water, right?
Starting point is 00:51:47 And so they need a plumber, but not a plumber, plumber. Not a plumber, plumber. Yeah, we need a secretary of conference. You know, we need a criminal secretary of commerce, don't we? Not a commerce commerce. We need a criminal commerce, don't we? So, yeah. And then, of course, he doesn't like cows.
Starting point is 00:52:06 There's something about cows that the globalists just don't like, isn't there? One of my favorite things is when people talk about data centers using water. The number one product in America that uses water is cattle. I mean, data centers don't use water. The data centers, this is propaganda by our adversarial. Well, speaking of water, I guess maybe we need some water to put out the economy that's on fire, because it's not on fire in a good way. It's on fire like a dumpster fire. Which is the stock market going? Up, up, up, up. Which way is the economy going? 3.8 last quarter, estimates of 4.4% this quarter. I mean, the economy is on fire because Donald Trump's economy is one that says tariffs. Come on, build in America.
Starting point is 00:52:50 You know, the president's been saying north of $15 trillion coming to build in America, that's going to grow our country. Yeah, this criminal is the one who he bet that the tariffs that Trump put in were illegal. He put out money to cover people offering them insurance. Hey, we'll give you, if you think you got a $10 million bill that's coming with tariffs, give us, we'll pay you $3 million. And you give us the rights to that $10 million rebate that's going to be. coming when the Supreme Court shuts this thing down. So he knew they were going to raise prices because he scrambled all over the Commerce Department trying to make adjustments to the high tariffs that were put on
Starting point is 00:53:31 Italian companies selling pasta. He said, that's going to raise the grocery prices. You know, we got a 93% tariff on the pasta there. Let's take that down. So I take it down to between 2% and 7% depending on whether they liked you or not, right? It's like the ultimate corruption. So this guy knows it's going to raise prices. He knows it's illegal.
Starting point is 00:53:50 What does he do? He hedges his bets on getting this stuff back, sells people insurance policies on it. And we've seen him do this over and over again. There was a great parody of this guy and his obsession with money as he sets on Epstein Island, holding court. Hoi, hoi, amigos. It's your favorite commerce secretary here to give you an update on the situation ship with Iran. and I am happy to report record profits for ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Raytheon. Maybe a little bit too much profit. The trick to a good war is not to quickly win, because where's the fun in that?
Starting point is 00:54:31 The money is not in successful wars. It's in endless wars. We'll bomb the shit out of Muslim countries, then open up our borders and let in pissed off refugees from said countries so we can enact new counterterrorism laws and put cameras up everywhere. Funny how that works, but don't worry, this isn't Iraq. This is not a Paul Bremer situation, or so I've been told. But what do I know? I'm just a guy who narrowly escaped 9-11, made millions off it,
Starting point is 00:54:59 while the families of my dead employees received almost nothing. Well, I guess I'll just chill out some more, enjoy the fresh air and sun while you rot away in your cubicle somewhere. Remember, you never saw me. Nutlick, out. That is spot. on. They had all the different points. And so as one other person put up, he said, here he is. He said, if there was a mask of me at Jeffrey Epstein's place, is of Howard Lutnik.
Starting point is 00:55:31 He said, I know the cops would be all over me, but why aren't they all over this guy? Well, it's because it's all about the money and the power, isn't it? Here he is, as Donald Trump is snoozing off and he's lecturing everybody on how great the stock market is. And now we're going to make all this money, right? For pharmaceuticals coming. So not only do you have the... To poison people. But you have the driving down the cost of drugs in America.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Right? We all talk about affordability. Drug costs are the number one cost. Yeah, yeah. We need to... As a matter of fact, we had a Republican senator yesterday saying, we've got to get people... We've got to reduce Medicare.
Starting point is 00:56:11 It's just costing us too much. And we've got to reduce Social Security. We've got to get everybody back in the workforce. Yeah, well, you try that. That's not going to happen, by the way. They're just perhaps James Carville would say they're trying to commit suicide if they do something like that. And I'm not a supporter of Social Security, except you can't take it away from people. Anybody who talks, it's just like reforming the tax system.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Everybody got so excited. Oh, look, Trump is going to go with a terrorist system instead of an income tax system. And I think that would be preferable. I think any system would be preferable to the income tax system. However, if you don't end that first, you wind up with both of them, which is what we wound up with. And when you look at changing Social Security, you've got so many people who are dependent on it. You have to phase this out. You can't collect 15 and a half percent taxes from people their entire working life with a promise that you're going to give them some money when they retire.
Starting point is 00:57:08 And then pull the rug out from underneath them. Say, no, sorry, you're not going to get that anymore. You have to begin with a phase out. of this. And that's what Trump doesn't seem to understand that about anything. But there's something interesting that happened yesterday, which nobody's really talking about. This is the only article I could find anywhere about this. This is on futurism. Nobody will say why every major AI chatbot suddenly went down. And that was last week. That was, so they wrote this on September the 4th. So that would have been September the 3rd. That was, what, Thursday or something,
Starting point is 00:57:43 I guess. Anyway, you had grok, you had Chet, GPT, and you had Anthropics Claw, all went down, all at the same time. And then we look at the water usage by these data centers. Under the radar, Oklahoma Bitcoin mining site, condemned after leaking three million gallons of water. Now, this is, again, kind of the old-school data centers. at a degree. I mean, this is a pretty large one, but it's not the hyperscale of what they're looking for right now with the AI stuff. But this is something they're using for Bitcoin mining. They had applied for a permit back in 2022. By 2023, however, the people in Reno had issued a stop work order after the permits expired. Officials identified multiple fire and life safety code violations. So they thought that was it. They didn't have a CEO. They didn't have a certificate of occupancy,
Starting point is 00:58:41 which is what you get with your final inspection. But they opened up anyway. And nobody realized what was happening until they had this massive leak of millions of gallons of contaminated water. And this is what these people are doing. They operate under the radar. They don't care what the restrictions are. They want to move fast and break things.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And boy, are they breaking things. And boy, are they moving fast. That is the reality of what is happening. Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, at the top of the hour here, and we will be right back. Stay with us. Making sense. Common again. You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Well, we were talking, of course, about 9-11 with the anniversary coming up in two days in the big conference that is in New York being put on by Richard Gage. And here is some news that is broken about the October 7th event. said from the very beginning of this that it looked very much like a deliberate stand-down, like Pearl Harbor, what I would call a passive false flag event, where you know it's happening. You're not actually the ones who bring down the buildings, for example, but you know somebody's going to do it, and you stand back and let them do it because you know that you can use that.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Well, this is some breaking news that's come out about Benjamin Netanyahu being warned about knowing about it, but we believe that from the very beginning. Said that from the very beginning. As a matter of fact, the reality is, is that he worked pretty hard to get Hamas in charge of Gaza. Those are the guys that they wanted there. They wanted somebody who was going to be radical. They invited the attack.
Starting point is 01:02:01 They stood down with the attack. They joined in the attack to make it worse. And to portray themselves as victims while they commit a genocide. Well, they got a lot of help in all this. You know, they had a public relations fund that was spending about $7.3 million before this all happened, they have ramped that up significantly. Now it's up to $730 million. And they've gone up by a factor of $100.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And it's still not good enough. Nobody's really buying all this. Where does all this money go? Well, I look at this. There's some thing on Netflix, which is a series called FATA, I guess, like short for into Fata, but I saw that. And I thought of what was the guy's name, Alan Sherman? Hello, Mudda.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Hello, Fata. Here I am at Camp Granada. Well, that's not what's happening with this. But anyway, there was a New York Times article about how this TV series, which is written by a couple of Israeli military guys for Netflix, there's a good example of how they use propaganda. They're now going to tackle, bravely tackle the issue of the Intifada and of October 7th. So they're going to tell you the truth about what happened.
Starting point is 01:03:18 And even these guys were there, one of them former military, he said, I got a call from my sister. She said, they're attacking. I need your help because he's former military. He said he couldn't get to her, but she was able to find a way to escape. And they were surprised at just how long the response was coming from the Israeli military. Well, there's a lot of reasons for that, aren't there? We're starting to see those happening.
Starting point is 01:03:39 We got Israeli military personnel saying, yeah, we killed all those people. The Hannibal Directive, we killed Israelis just so we could get. the people we thought were terrorists. They do this all the time. As John Curiacu pointed out, he said, if they got somebody that's in a building, there's a terrorist that they've labeled a terrorist or a political opponent they want to get rid of,
Starting point is 01:04:02 they'll kill everybody in the building. They'll kill everybody in the block. They'll kill Israelis to get these people as well. That's the way they operate. They take no prisoners. And when you look at what is happening, it is not just what's happening in Gaza. They've now taken the war to Lebanon
Starting point is 01:04:17 and they're pursuing the same kind of total war and genocide in Lebanon as well. Here's the Lebanese village. And the bottom there is what the village used to look like. Then you see the bombs up at the top destroying it. And here is what it looks like now in some of these villages. Nothing but rubble. Just eradicate everything. It's the most criminal regime I think I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 01:04:47 So whether or not this thing was a false flag, whether or not their narrative was true, as I said for the longest time, nothing would ever justify the fact that they would continue to attack civilians, men, women, and children for years after that attack. You either get those people or you don't get them. And then we look at what happens, right? When we have the hardcore Zionist cheerleaders like Mark Levin. I'll fight them to the last American. Die for Israel. Y'all, this is what that looks like. Here is a widow who has been abandoned by the Pentagon because, hey, it's not an officially
Starting point is 01:05:28 declared war. Go die for Israel, but we're not going to give any benefits to your family when you die for Israel. Libby Kilner, a widow, wrote on social media that the U.S. Air Force had deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following the death of her husband, Major. Alex Kilner, her 33-year-old husband, Congress has not officially declared a war. So there you go. There's your Pentagon bureaucracy at work.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Since the Iran war began more than six months ago, 18 service members have been killed and 780 have been wounded. She said, my husband lost his life because we're in a war. Then I was told that because it's not technically a war, we lose out on some things. It all comes down to principle. Well, the problem is Trump doesn't have any principle, and either those the Pentagon.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Yes, officials have acknowledged that they had initially provided inaccurate information that her husband's last paycheck had included but incorrectly itemized combat pay, which amounts to $225 a month. Yeah, go die for Israel for $225 a month. Isn't that amazing? I just can't believe it. It's heartbreaking to look at this article, pictures of this 33-year-old man as a young wife, and their three children.
Starting point is 01:06:47 She said, what this experience made clear to me is how difficult it can be for a grieving family to navigate classifications, terminology, and government processes at the very moment we are the least equipped to do so. Yeah, thank you for your service. Sean Hannan ain't going to have Iran? No, he won't have Iran to talk about that.
Starting point is 01:07:06 So Trump has repeatedly called the U.S. military operations against Iran a war, saying the U.S. strikes were intermittent. He said a lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. Yeah, not much skin off the nose of that draft dodger, is it? But it's not going to be small potatoes for that family, that mother with her three young kids. Families of U.S. service members have also accused Pentagon
Starting point is 01:07:36 of downplaying the extent of injuries sustained and claim that they're not being treated by the military as combat casualties, because it isn't a war. And so this is what we can expect for these people. And from what did the rest of us get? Well, we get a massive bill. You get $100 billion an extra energy cost for U.S. consumers, and Trump is ramping this thing up. Goldman Sachs, by the way, saying they're not expect
Starting point is 01:08:00 Hormuz to open up until throughout 2027. They're saying they're also looking at $120 a barrel oil. Do you remember when this whole thing began? Iran was saying, you're going to see $120. or a barrel oil. And you had Levin and the war party shills for Israel. Now they're saying, it's never going to happen. It's not a quagmire.
Starting point is 01:08:21 It'll never happen. We're in and out no time at all. Well, guess who's going to be coming in? We've got, remember Brian masked? The guy who was parading around the halls of Congress wearing an Israeli IDF uniform. Now, as Hegsseth has kicked out the head of the army, there's talk that he might be the new head of the army, this guy. You're friends today.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Can you tell us anything about this? Sir Lebes got her flag. I've got my uniform. Yeah. So it says, Talib's got her flag. That was reference to Rashida Thalib, who, when she got elected,
Starting point is 01:08:58 I remember when she got elected, I covered it. She was there with a Palestinian flag behind her, and they're all going, you know. And I said, just go back to your country.
Starting point is 01:09:06 You know, you don't want to be here in America. Go back to the country that you love. You don't love this country. I wish you would. I don't want to be ruled by Palestinians or Arabs or Jews. I don't want to be ruled by any of these people who have a divided loyalty to another country. It disgusts me.
Starting point is 01:09:23 I don't want to see my country colonized and exploited and taken over by these people. Well, Gerald Slinty is ready to join us. I don't want to wait any longer. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with Gerald. Stay with us. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right. Welcome back and joining us now is Gerald Salinty,
Starting point is 01:10:29 Trendsjournal.com, and Gerald's just telling me off air, he's taking a couple of weeks off because it's just so depressing to look at these people continuing down this march of war, this slow escalation of World War III. And as we look at things like the Dutch spiral that he covers in Trends Journal this week, we look at things like that. We look at things like the advancing warhawks that are out there. It all happens gradually, and then suddenly it's upon us.
Starting point is 01:10:59 So we're going to talk a little bit about that and what people can do. One of the things that Gerald points out in Transjournal is that most Americans don't see this coming. And the ones that do, many of them, don't know what to do to prepare. So we're going to talk a little bit about that. But thank you for joining us, Gerald. And just remind people that you can save 10% off with the code night at trendsjournal.com. Thank you for joining us. Well, thank you for having me on and all that you do.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I'm heartbroken. You know, I'm just looking at some past articles and about, I mean, you look, it's hardly in American media. Well, they drove, what, about 1.2 million people out of their homes. Yeah. In Lebanon. In Lebanon. 1.2 million people. So listen, everybody.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Get out of your house. All right. We're going to bomb it into ruins. That guy, Israel Cats, the clown, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant defensemen. minister of Israel bragged that they bombed 24 villages into ruins. And over 22,000 homes to ruins. And of course, Israel cats is horrific. I think probably the most disgusting of all these guys is Ben Gavir.
Starting point is 01:12:17 He's the one who gets down in front of prisoners and, you know, like some kind of a troll wagging his tongue out, literally stinging his tongue out, talking about how he wants to have public executions of people. Well, he is now cheering Javier Malai. And, you know, I mentioned this earlier in the program, Gerald. As you pointed out, when the things get bad, they always take us to war, right? And we saw that happen with the Falklands War back in the 1980s.
Starting point is 01:12:40 You had a situation where the Falklands had been under British control. Everything was peaceful. It had been under British control since the 1830s. And so the British people who lived there, and there was nothing really economic about the issue that was simply a matter of pride and a matter of the Argentine dictator wanting to increase his popularity in the polls
Starting point is 01:13:01 by doing that and showing how tough and powerful they were. And so it was a slow motion war. I remember when that thing happened. But now they're at it again. Javier Malai is out there saying, well, I think we need to talk about the Falklands. And of course Trump is going to join with him. And
Starting point is 01:13:17 Ben Gavir joined with him as well. There's something about all these people who are Zionists, that are in control of Argentina and the U.S. and, of course, Israel, all hanging together, isn't it? Javier Malai has pointed out that he is a proud Zionist. They're all part of the club. Shabad Lubavichers, they all go up and worship the grave of this Rabbi Schneerson up in New York. And it's kind of interesting when you go back and look at Argentina.
Starting point is 01:13:46 They were originally the choice of the Zionist under Herzl. and um their door hudson that was one of the first places that they were looking at because argentina was open to accepting people coming in and said we can go there and make a homeland out of it and then they decided they would go to palestine you got these revisionist zionists that are people like net njahoo uh who added a religious fervor to it put this uh religious veneer over it to make it kind of like the uh Islamic jihadis do and uh so it changed and it moved to there but it wasn't really about religion. It wasn't about the holy land to begin with. And they were very receptive to that. And there's been some rumors that Javier Malai is willing to accept a large number of
Starting point is 01:14:32 new Israeli settlers there and give them some land. That's not really been validated yet. But that's been going on for a very long time there. And so now you've got Ben Gavir joining ranks with him. And look at how angry Donald Trump got. When somebody called him out about the fact that he's helping Argentina with beef, and he is screwing the American cattle. And he says, young lady, you don't understand what's going on. They're dying down there in Argentina. And look at what he's doing to the American farmer. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:15:03 But all he cares about is Argentina. Again, I'm a heartbroken, you know, what's going on. It's 60,000 orphans in Gaza. Yeah. 60,000. About 8,000 people still buried under the, the rubble, they destroyed the whole place. No outrage.
Starting point is 01:15:25 No outrage. And again, the Zionism is a made-up political movement by some little piece of crap, me rotten hell, theater Herzl. Made up crap. It is. Made up crap. Hey, I'm Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:15:42 I'm a proud Zionist. Remember that? Genocide Joe? Yeah. And Anthony Blinken? That, oh, that little arrogant boy. that was the Secretary of State. I come to Israel as a Jew.
Starting point is 01:15:57 How about coming as a Secretary of State? What the hell do I care what you believe in? Yeah, I agree. It's stealing our money so everybody get back to work. I want your money so we can give it to Israel so they can keep the genocide going. And don't you dare call it genocide, you anti-Semite? That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 01:16:18 And so now October 7th has now taken on this mythology that the Holocaust has taken on. And they are pushing this. And yet you've got some Israeli journalists who are, Herets, who have written a book. And as part of the research for this, they found that Netanyahu was informed this attack was going to happen a couple of weeks before it happened.
Starting point is 01:16:44 And he did nothing about it. And so these are a couple of people who've done the research, again working for Heretz, former Shenbet chief Ronan Barr and former IDF chief of staff, Herzzi Pahlavi, both told Heretz that they had not even been informed about the conversation that Netanyahu had with the emir of the UAE. But he said, yeah, I told him. And then you had a guy who used to be Netanyahu's former chief of staff, Naftali Bennett, and also became a prime minister.
Starting point is 01:17:18 he now has a rival politically to Netanyahu, so people will discount it for that reason. Nevertheless, he confirmed. He said, yes, I'm telling you, I know that this fact is true. He said he also met, was informed that there was an attack coming by the head of Egyptian general intelligence warned Netanyahu days before the massacre. There'd be a major operation. But we know that they did that, and we know that they actually killed Israelis themselves
Starting point is 01:17:42 as part of the Hannibal directive. We've seen the evidence of that, the destruction that was done to, cars melted on the road. They don't have those kind of weapons in Hamas. So we know that, A, they knew it was coming. They allowed it to happen. It was a passive false flag in that regard. Then they actively exacerbated it, attacking their own people, killing their own people.
Starting point is 01:18:03 And now they portray themselves as victims as they've engaged in a years-long genocide against civilians. And they're getting away with it. Again, go back to your trends journal. right after a week and a half or two weeks later it was reported and again it when the ha ha that's the Israeli newspaper that the United States and Egypt had warned that that was going to happen on October 7th we wrote the facts back then now I'm going to go back there were 39 weeks a protest going on in Israel
Starting point is 01:18:48 before the Hamas attack. It was against Netanyahu's Judicial Reform Act, which basically said we're doing away with the judicial system. The politicians will be in charge so I don't have to go to court
Starting point is 01:19:05 for the charges that they're bringing me up on. You could look it up. It was in your magazine week after week after week. 39 weeks of protest hundreds of thousands of people were taking to the streets. The president of Israel, Isaac Herzog,
Starting point is 01:19:25 said, quote, a civil war, called it a civil war was going on in Israel before the attack on October 7th. Everybody forgot about this. Again, when all else fails,
Starting point is 01:19:42 they take you to war. now let's go back go back to your trends journal we forecast that Trump would escalate the Iran war near the end of the summertime when people are everybody's on vacation
Starting point is 01:20:02 Labor Day weekend the people are totally tuned out and they're going to escalate this war I remember you're saying that you said that on this program as well and they're going to escalate this thing. This is, you ready?
Starting point is 01:20:17 Mm-hmm. Remember when USA Today used to be a big newspaper? Yeah. Yeah. Could you see that? 2001 will not be our year, trend Sears says. Yep. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I warned of a 9-11, the only person in the world, but totally blacklisted, world is against us, quote, dangerous Americans. This is December 14th, 2000. People forget that every time he got caught with his pants down, it was bombs away over Baghdad with Bill Clinton. Slaughtering people, and he started
Starting point is 01:21:10 the Serbian war, the Yugoslav war. He was slaughtering of Palestinians, giving Israel all the rights they wanted to do, to it. As you used to say in the Bronx, payback's a bitch. We said something's going to happen. Again, whether it was made up or not, all we said was 2001 will not be our year. And get ready for 2027. There's going to be a false flag event. They're going to do something to unite the people. I agree. Just like they did with 9-11, when little Georgie Bush
Starting point is 01:21:50 was president. The Dow was down some, not the Dow, the NASDAQ was down some 80%. We would go into recession. 9-11 happened. Everybody forgot about it. He just got elected. That's right. Absolutely right. Well, and it certainly does point in that direction. They keep doing the same types of things. I guess they keep doing it that way because it works, doesn't it? It works. Again, how to do it? How many times have I read on your podcast about Franklin Roosevelt seizing all Japanese assets on July 26, 1941? The Great Depression is going on. The Great Depression's going on.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Europe is going into war. 80% of Americans were against getting involved in it. And what happens? He seizes Japanese assets. The UK and the Dutch cut off three quarters of Japanese trade. and 88% of their oil. Okay, you stole their money, you cut off their global trade,
Starting point is 01:22:57 and they can't get oil. They only need 98%. You caught off 88%. I can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor a couple of months later. Yeah, I've said the longest time. Yeah, it looks like Donald Trump is the guy they brought in to create chaos,
Starting point is 01:23:13 to create a global depression and global war, doesn't it? Yeah. These are some of Trump's quotes. I was just looking through things here. Trump says Iran will be bombed at much higher level if they don't agree to a peace deal. That was May 6th. Oh, this is the war that was going to last how long, four or five weeks. We're going into the seventh month.
Starting point is 01:23:36 All right. You ready for this? Quote, I'm going to prohibit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from bombing Lebanon. That was April 17th. Yeah. bombing Lebanon. They're bombing it almost every day. Yeah. It's looking like Gaza. I mean, they've just bombed it to rubble, one village after the other. I'm bragging about it, as you pointed out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:59 You're ready for this? This is April 7th. Trump's, what they call it, truth media, truth lie media, whatever he calls it. You ready? A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. Yeah. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change,
Starting point is 01:24:29 we're different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary, wonderful can happen. Who knows? We'll find out tonight. One of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world. Could you imagine history of the world? Yeah, stay tuned. because the WWE report will be coming later tonight, right?
Starting point is 01:24:52 He runs the whole thing like it's some kind of a professional wrestling skit. It's amazing. But could you imagine if Hitler or Mussolini said that a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again? Or Putin or Shiji Ping, right? Yeah. Anybody, you know, any current leader. Only Donald Trump can say that kind of insanity.
Starting point is 01:25:16 Yep. Yeah. And then this is an article, Epstein files. Department of Justice May have withheld FBI interviews with Trump accuser, according to Representative Garcia. The Epstein files that Trump said he was going to release in December of 2025 have never been released. And my belief is that Israel has a lot of Epstein and other crap on Trump, and they own him. Well, look at the links that Mike Johnson goes to.
Starting point is 01:25:46 I mean, last year when they were talking about having the bill there, you know, they had an extra month to the vacation that they normally take throughout all of August. They're doing it again. Now they're going to be on vacation between now and the election simply because they're coming back with another bill saying, oh, by the way, you didn't comply with the law that we all passed last year. And so we need to have, you know, they want to bring it up again. He doesn't want that to come up again. So he just shuts down the entire Congress for a couple of months. Yep. It's amazing what they do to guard their pedophiles.
Starting point is 01:26:16 That's why I say the GOP is now guarding our pedophiles. That's what it stands for. And everybody sees it. And they know that everybody sees it, but they don't care because they don't answer to the public. The answer to Israel. This is the, they launched the war on February 28th. On March 2nd, Chubb says the war against Iran moving substantially ahead of schedule. This is,
Starting point is 01:26:47 February 10th before the war began, we have the greatest economy actually ever in history. Can you imagine that crap spewing out his mouth that nobody calls him out? What are you talking about the greatest economy actually in history? February 24th, four days before the attack, the roaring economy is roaring like it's never before,
Starting point is 01:27:13 like never before. This is a, lies when he's running for president. September 25th, 2024, we want to have peace on earth all over. October 20th, 20th, 24.
Starting point is 01:27:29 I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. January 25th, 2025. I'm moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace. I want peace. A piece of crap. And he gets away with this.
Starting point is 01:27:49 Yeah, he does. You know, I played a clip, Gerald. They had certain Porter is going to Trump rally and they had people wearing all their MAGA nonsense and everything. And he goes up to one of him. He goes, well, Trump ended eight wars. He goes, did he, which wars did he end? Can you tell me what they were? And he thinks about it. And he goes, says to his wife, those there. I can't remember what they were. Do you remember what they were? They couldn't name a single one, of course, because he didn't end any at all. He just said they ended eight of them. And they went with what he had to say. Then he asks him, he pulls out a map and he goes, the Middle East and he goes, can you show me where Iran is? They couldn't show him where Iran was. I mean, it's just classic stupidity, isn't it? Yep. Yeah, April 28th. Trump claims Iran has told U.S.
Starting point is 01:28:36 It's in the state of collapse. Mm. Yeah. One lie after another. I know. Trump threatened Iran will, quote, be decimated if does not accept U.S. deal. May 13th. And here, this other clown,
Starting point is 01:28:56 this arrogant, arrogant guy, this Bessent, the Treasury Secretary. Yeah, you've got a special report about him, as a matter of fact, and the Transcendental. Yep. And this is March 13th.
Starting point is 01:29:10 U.S. will escort ships through Strait of Hamoos. Total line. Yeah. But they did it to bring down oil prices. Mm-hmm. And now, as we're speaking, Brent crude broke over $100 a barrel.
Starting point is 01:29:30 The average price of gasoline, according to AAA, $4.22. Go back to Trump crap on February 24th, four days before, he gets a state of the union addressed. Hey, because you elected me, the average price against the lead in America in most states, $2.30. A lie. It was $2.92. Okay, $2.92, and now it's $4.22.
Starting point is 01:30:09 I'm mentioning this because the whole world is paying, 8 billion people are paying the price for two warmongers have done. This is destroying the global economy. You're right. Yeah. He's pushing us into a global depression, which will accelerate poor fire on the dumpster fire of the wars that are all happening at all these different places.
Starting point is 01:30:31 He's trying to push us into a global depression and a global war. Again, he is a one-man fourth turning. You go back and look at the last time, you know, about every four generations we have a major upheaval. And the last time that happened was the Great Depression and World War II. He's trying to do that. and he can do that as a one-man show. I just saw Energy Secretary Wright was saying in an interview this last week,
Starting point is 01:30:56 and he said, well, I don't think we're going to be able to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. They will eventually find a way. So I guess we just stay there forever, right? Keep bombing them forever. Is that the solution to all this stuff? Yep. Watch 11. And when you talk about Scott Besson, you've got a special report, economic D-Day sanctions.
Starting point is 01:31:15 You're talking about how he's using. these sanctions against people. There was an interesting report that I saw this week from a substack. It's called the Leophiles. She's somebody, she said she used to be a CIA analyst. I don't know about that, but she had pretty good analysis of the situation that's happening with Scott Besson. She said, if you look at what he's doing here, you know, the chain of events that happened. First of all, Trump gets in and he says, no CBDC and everybody cheers. Oh, that's great. I said at the time, I said, they're going to do stable coins. They're going to have. not CBDC, not a central bank digital currency.
Starting point is 01:31:50 They'll have crony capitalism digital currency. That's why Lutnik is there and why the Trump family is positioning themselves into crypto. Bingo, we had right about the time he puts out these sanctions and saying, we're going to punish people, we're going to cut them off from the dollar system. They set up the Trump crime family to have the only crypto bank that is chartered out there. So it looks like they're funneling everybody into, you know, he's going to have the solution. for people. They are going to require that the stable coins will have treasury bills there because
Starting point is 01:32:24 the foreign governments and individuals are starting to sour on these things, looking at them as an increasingly bad risk. So what they'll do is to put it in a stable coin and people will consume it that way. You know, the same way they add garbage or food. So it's going to be some more slop that's put into the money that we have there. But it's kind of interesting. thing when you look at it, how Scott Besant is using sanctions to push people away from the Treasury bills and other things like that, as Zero Hedgepointed out, he's kind of made himself a one-man Federal Reserve. They're doing all these types of things to manipulate the money system, and yet the solution that's over here is get your private crypto from the Trump crime family and the
Starting point is 01:33:06 Lutnik crime family. Is that how you see it? What do you think about what's happening with this? You're going to go, you're right. You're going to go to digital currencies so they know every penny you spent, what you spent it on. so you get all your tax dollars. And the whole world is going digital, by the way. It's going to be, again, and they're going to make up something that this coin is worth so much more. We just got rid of our $40 trillion debt. They'll make up any crap that they want.
Starting point is 01:33:33 And it'll also be used to stop you from having transactions, not just to make sure they get their taxes on everything you do. But they'll be able to, if you are a prohibited person, and I've been kicked off of PayPal and Vimmon, still kicked off of them. if you're somebody they don't like your content, they can just basically take you out of the entire economic system. And so, you know, we can see that kind of thing happening. It's the fingerprints on the wall. But, you know, that's another part of it, Gerald, want to look at this. The way Trump is pushing these massive,
Starting point is 01:34:02 hyperscale data systems that are out there, I know a lot of this is surveillance. That would be enough reason to oppose it. It'd be enough reason to oppose it because if it's energy requirements or because, you know, what's going to do, the grid or the cost of electricity. or what it's going to do to water. There's a lot of reasons to oppose these things. I oppose them on the basis of the surveillance and police state.
Starting point is 01:34:21 But I think there's another aspect of this. I look at this and because they want to push everybody to a digital currency of some sort, most likely owned by them, they need to have a lot of computing power to be able to handle all these transactions. I think that is a big, big part of this. What do you think? I think that's a, I never thought that, but I think you're 100% right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:42 I think, you know, I mean, you look at the data, that they had in the past, they've been primarily for cloud storage or for Bitcoin mining. But if they're going to go to a digital currency and really replace everything, they're going to have to have a massive network of these data centers that are gigantic. I think that is one of the reasons that they're doing it. They could do with the computer systems that they got right now. We already saw Musk doing it when he went in and audited the bureaucracies and the government. He was able to do a lot of stuff there with the current computing power that they've got. But if they want to handle everybody's transactions, everybody.
Starting point is 01:35:15 who are all the time digitally, they've got to have a massive network of massive hyperscale data centers. I think that is fundamental to a lot of this. I agree. You're right. And also, so they know everything about you, what you're doing, when you're doing it, they totally, totally are in control of our lives. They know everything about you, where you do walk, what you do, where you, I mean,
Starting point is 01:35:40 and now this whole AI thing is a whole other world. And it's terrible. And it's the future. It's like, excuse me. Yeah, I agree. And this is a long-term plan that we've seen there. You go back to the 1970s, 50 years ago, and he had Zabignazinski, who started the trilateral commission. Then he gets in as the guy running the Jimmy Carter administration like Henry Kissinger and Nixon. And he wrote the book between two ages. He said, the coming technocratic age, we're going to know what you do before you do it.
Starting point is 01:36:10 We're going to be able to control the night. You're allowed to do it, that type of thing. So they've been working towards this for an amazingly long time, and it's going right down to plan, isn't it? One of the things that you've got in Trends Journal, I noticed, you said people are kind of sleepwalking into this and they don't really aren't preparing themselves. What would you suggest that people do to prepare ourselves for the debt spiral that you talk about
Starting point is 01:36:34 and for all the rest of the stuff that is being, these problems are being created by Trump and his ilk? We have forecasting. It may well happen this month or next. There's going to be a market crash. And as we went on the air, the Dow was down almost 300 points, been down, like yesterday,
Starting point is 01:36:54 about 600 or something. And gold prices are going back up. We don't give financial advice. And again, we have no advertisers in the trends journal. So we're independent. Nobody tells us what to say. We're bullish on gold and silver.
Starting point is 01:37:08 And even though the price prices are down from their high, they're still way up. And they're going to go digital, and it's the death of the dollar. The world has had enough for the United States geopolitical and economic hegemony. And China's going to be taking a lead. And the bricks are going to unite. They'll probably come up with a gold-back currency. Digital, of course, but gold-backed by gold.
Starting point is 01:37:36 And so those are the things we're very bullish on. Of course, if you have the physical goal there, that is worth something as well. We're also seeing in Texas, they are just setting up a system for people to be able to use gold electronically. You have an account that you instead of putting, you know, dollars in the bank, you've got a certain amount of gold that's in the bank. And then you can process transactions on. Of course, Tony Arterbin has as part of Wise Wolf. A lot of times people get the gold backs, they call them. And that's done by a private company.
Starting point is 01:38:10 it's kind of like a, it looks like a currency bill, but it's got an actual certain amount of gold that is in it. And you can look that up online with their app gives you the current exchange rate of what it is as you are doing a transaction. So there are things that are starting to come into place, I think, to allow people to be able to transact in gold. I expect to see that happen a lot more. But as we're talking about transactions and the AI bubble that is there, so many people talking about the lack of capital. for these capital expenditures, so these people say that they're going to put together. We've seen some IPOs delayed because they don't have sufficient capital. We got a guy in, I don't know who this guy is, but I've seen him with several interesting comments.
Starting point is 01:38:55 His name is Ed Zytron. Maybe you know who he is. But he pointed out, he said, they're talking about how they want to do like a trillion dollars worth of capital expenditures. But he said, I can only come up with about, you know, $130 billion that these people can. I guess if you stop the money flow and all this stuff, and it's one of the things that Nvidia has been doing in terms of loaning money out to its customers to buy back its products. It's like, how is that anything that is real?
Starting point is 01:39:23 I mean, that is a Ponzi scheme, if I ever saw one. And at some point, the music is going to stop and people aren't going to have chairs to sit in, right? Yeah, again, look at the treasury yields. And so the cost of borrowing is going way, way up. and especially for these companies. The dot-com busters 2.0, again, we'd call the first one, as you know, in the Trencher Journal. And there's going to be the second one.
Starting point is 01:39:50 Again, the business of China is business and the business of America's war. China's going to lead the world in AI. They're already leading it, but you're not hearing it in America. They're AI's being used by most people around the world, much cheaper and is efficient or more efficient. And so there's going to be an AI bust. And I want to go back, by the way, you were talking about that Chris Wright, who's always wrong. And this is the guy, by the way, you said about nuclear, they're not going to get a nuclear, Iran won't be able to go nuclear, right? Is that what you said?
Starting point is 01:40:36 He said that they're not going to be able to stop them from going nuclear. Oh, not going to be able. Yeah. The war that Trump launched, that another arrogant guy, how many now time did he change his name? A little boy of nothing, Vance? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:54 It's not a war. It ain't war. It's a war. Yeah. Anyway, this is Trump when the war began. This is in your trends journal. We wrote about this. We said that Trump was asked about Rubio saying the U.S. attacked Iran because Israel would have attacked first.
Starting point is 01:41:23 Prompting Iran to strike U.S. targets in the region, Trump said. Quote, no, I might have forced their hand, Trump said. Yeah, right. You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics. and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack. I felt strongly about that.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Based on the way the negotiations were going, I think they were going to attack first. And I didn't want that to happen. So if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand, but Israel was ready and we were ready and we've had a very, very powerful
Starting point is 01:42:07 Inter-Pact. You ready? Because everything they have has been knocked out. Yeah, right. That's March 3rd. So, not a word about them having building a nuclear warhead. Hey, they were going to attack us first. It was my opinion, all right? Yeah. It was my opinion. Yeah. You don't start wars based on opinions. That's right. And you don't you don't strike first either, right? What? You don't strike first either. I mean, that's what everybody complained about with a Japanese.
Starting point is 01:42:37 That's the first thing you learn. That's one of the close combat things. You only attack the attacker. Again, Trump wore it to end soon. Practically nothing left to target. March 11th. One lie after another. One lie after another.
Starting point is 01:42:58 Here, nearly 60,000 children often in Gaza. Yep. Yeah, going back to the Iran thing, If they've destroyed everything, then why is the straight-of-war moves not open yet? Oh, what are you talking about? He says it is. Oh, how dare you say that? Yeah, I best it.
Starting point is 01:43:17 You got right. You got Trump. Hey, we're in control of the straight-all moves. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Yeah. So they're the guys, and really, they are in control of it because they started this war. They continue this war.
Starting point is 01:43:30 So really, they are in control of it in the sense that nobody can get anything through there. Yep. We're in control of the Great Depression that we're creating globally is really what they're saying. I got a couple of comments here from people. Everything is lie, damn it. And, of course, that is, that's the name of his podcast there. And he says, Argentina's president is Netanyahu's cousin. Of course, Malay and Melikowski, I think.
Starting point is 01:43:56 They changed the name, a couple of Ashkenazis that are there. But I tell you, Argentina is Trump's. First priority, isn't it? Truly, it's amazing. And I got another comment here from you, but he said, Peter Thiel has a bunker in Argentina. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:44:13 Yep. Yep. Yeah, you're going to move down there. That's, I guess, a new place where they all want to go. Yeah, no, it's one lie after another. Yeah. One lie after another from Trump. And Trump says Iran is collapsing over her moose blockade.
Starting point is 01:44:32 That was April 22nd. One after. another. Yep. I agree. This is July 29th. US will beat the FN S-H-I out of Iran after it fired at U.S. bases. Yep.
Starting point is 01:44:51 You point out, I'm looking at the headlines that you got here in Transjournal. The point of no return has been reached with the debt spiral is now in a death spiral. Right underneath that, fascism, Trump Trump administration takes a 10% stake in Intel. And, of course, they've done that with several different corporations. And I look at all this.
Starting point is 01:45:13 It's like, we're the conservatives, right? There's no conservatives left anywhere. I mean, this ought to be anathema to anybody who was a traditional Republican. Just like it ought to be anathema to the evangelicals who support Trump. What he's done with Epstein, this ought to be the economic conservatives out there. ought to be having a fit about this kind of stuff. What is happening with our debt and the profligate spending and just piling on top of pile
Starting point is 01:45:40 and the fact that he's spent in about a third of the cumulative debt that we've accumulated in 250 years. About a third of that is Trump's. Yep. No, it's, it's, it, this is the, I'm telling you, the worst is yet to come. We are going to be, it's not going to be the great depression. It's going to be the greatest depression.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Again, you know, they had this baloney out about the, oh, there was a great jobs report. Oh, you see where the jobs are? Right. In hospitality, healthcare, government jobs. Government jobs. Yeah, that's going to be the real issue.
Starting point is 01:46:15 Yeah. Yeah. Iran war very close to over, Trump says. Mm-hmm. And the stock market is going to boom. And I guess that's the amazing thing to me is how the stock market always buys the end of these lies. You know, no matter how absurd what Trump says. the stock market reacts to it as if it were true.
Starting point is 01:46:34 Yep. Yeah, the social media thing is truth social. I think it ought to be said, truth so-called. Why call it lie social? Yeah, it is a lie social. Yeah. There's no truth and true social. Well, it truly is insane.
Starting point is 01:46:52 And I pointed out earlier, James Carville is looking at it, scratching his head and goes, I think Trump really hates Republicans. I think he's trying to take them down. because when you look at it, there's just not really any explanation for being that stupid and that dense except for perhaps of being deliberate. But I look at it,
Starting point is 01:47:11 and I think, I agree with James Carville to an extent, but I think Trump's purpose is to take down America and to take down the global economy. And we look at what these people are doing. It's taking it down. Yeah, he's taking it down.
Starting point is 01:47:22 It has destroyed the global economy. That's right. Fertilizer prices, the diesel fuel. It's at an all-time high. Yeah. And again, the trains, the trucks, you know, they use diesel. So the price of everything is going up because of this. Farmers are taking a huge hit because all the diesel fuel they use and their equipment.
Starting point is 01:47:45 That's right. Again, it's driving up the price of everything. It's reported that Trump said that the war would be over 66 times. Is that counting this week? No, that was two days ago. Yeah, this is from media. You've got a counter that's running at it. It's flipping around.
Starting point is 01:48:09 The numbers are flipping around real quickly, just like the national debt, the number of times that Trump has lied. Yeah, this is the beginning of the week. You ready? Mm-hmm. This is Trump. Oil prices will drop precipitously,
Starting point is 01:48:20 like everything else is dropping but more. All right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's a total lie. Yeah. $3 a gallon, but ultimately below $2. This is on his life social a gallon.
Starting point is 01:48:38 It'll happen quickly. Well, you know, he doesn't care about the farmers. He doesn't care about the ranchers. He doesn't care about the price of food and the grocery store. He doesn't care about toilet papers. As I said earlier, he's the one president we've had that's caused us to have two major toilet paper shortages. Whenever he's in, the excrement hits the fan, doesn't it? This was an article from Forbes.
Starting point is 01:49:05 The costs of the Iran war will continue for decades. That's from Forbes. Again, 8 billion people are paying the price that two warmongers started, and 8 billion people can't stop two warmongers. Think about it. Yeah. Think about it. I know.
Starting point is 01:49:24 Yeah, it's crazy. And when I look at what's happening with the surveillance stuff, the only thing I can think of that works is for people to do. just physically destroy these things. And then for people, when they call for jury duty, if we could get people to understand what fully informed juries are really about, they could stop this. We've already had one grand jury that has refused to indict somebody who admittedly took these things down.
Starting point is 01:49:46 They agreed with them. That needs to be taken down if the local government won't do it. If they're being bribed by the federal government and state government to put these things up, then it ultimately comes back to we the people, I think. But, of course, the big problem with that, and you talk about this in Transgeneral, this issue you got. People don't read anymore, do they? No. You know, they don't read even for amusement in terms of novels and things like that. It's just people are just taking the least path of resistance. They watch whatever Hollywood or AI wants to feed them, don't they?
Starting point is 01:50:20 You got it. With AI feeds them. AI said, that's what they believe. And again, you look at young people, they're totally AI addicted. You're seeing all the stuff coming out about what they're doing in schools and everything else. And another important thing, a report came out that people without college education is now getting more jobs than people with college education because it doesn't count anymore. And they need laborers and people doing that kind of work. They're getting more jobs. So this thing is going to continue to just get worse.
Starting point is 01:50:58 And that's, again, that's that Gen Z revolution. we're talking about. That's why a guy like Mondani won in New York City. Did young people have no jobs? And you know about the cockroach party in India? When the judge in India called the Gen Z's cockroaches, they don't want to work, they're lazy nothings. And this guy started the Gen Z party calling the Cockeroach Party,
Starting point is 01:51:25 making fun of the guy. And we just have about 30 million followers already. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we had a little bit of that this last week. You had Dr. Ross say, yeah, we've got to get people healthier so they can go back to work and work longer. And then Trump is bemoaning the fact that people are taking too many vacation days in America. Meanwhile, they take off two months so they don't have any discussion of Epstein that's happening. And he put out, I played before you came on, Gerald, he put out in the White House did a picture talking about American manufacturing and how great it is. They showed it a automated factory that was making a Trump pen and then signing it in gold. It was a black pen. They have a machine signing his name in gold. And then the only person that you see in the whole thing is somebody walking in to present it to the president. People point out there's not a single human in that factory. This is what you put out on Labor Day talking about manufacturing.
Starting point is 01:52:19 You know, when we talked about, you mentioned in the first Trump regime, how the tax bill that was there and you're absolutely right about it. You said, no, it's not going to help anybody. It's going to be buybacks from the big corporations. That's exactly what they did. It was a windfall for Apple and all these other big corporations. And it didn't help anybody. And, of course, the idea behind that was he was going to bring manufacturing back to America. And I said at the time, I said, manufacturing is not going to come back to America until it can be completely automated.
Starting point is 01:52:50 They don't want to have any factory jobs. They don't want people to have jobs. How many times they have to tell us that before we understand that's what their plan is? Yeah, it's heartbreaking, really, what's going. Again, this new, the beautiful, big one, the beautiful bill again, that's why we have a big debt level, because the corporations stop paying taxes. And the rich keep getting rich, everybody else keeps getting poorer. By the way, I mentioned before about the, what's going on with the treasuries, right? This is from the Financial Times.
Starting point is 01:53:26 Treasury routes piles pressure on vulnerable U.S. borrowers. borrowing costs in the riskiest corners of corporate America have climbed to their highest levels since the aftermath of Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs last year. As the recent sell-off in U.S. Treasury piles pressure on the most indebted companies. The 10-year yields, a benchmark for dollar borrowing costs around the world, climbed to the highest levels since 2023 at 4.8.
Starting point is 01:54:00 percent last week. And it goes on, the extra yield or spread paid by companies rated triple C or lower. And that's what we're talking about these dot-com companies. They're triple C or lower. You ready what it is? What? 10.53%. That's what they're paying on their debt.
Starting point is 01:54:24 Wow. Wow. So this thing is serious. and there's going to be a crash that's going to be hurt around the world. But again, they're going to ramp, again, with Netanyahu is election coming up, what, October 27th?
Starting point is 01:54:46 The midterms in November in the United States, they're going to ramp up this war so they could stay in power. Trump is going to do everything he can. And by the way, They're now saying there's a 60% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates when they meet next week. We're saying they may lower interest rates. They're going to do everything they can to prop up the economy.
Starting point is 01:55:12 That means the dollar will go down and gold prices will go up. And, of course, there's a lot of things that they can do in the background to prop up the economy. Like we've seen in the past quantitative easing, they have other devices that they can covertly. pump in money without the interest rates. I mean, everybody focuses on the interest rates as being the bellwether thing. And it is a bellwether when they do something with interest rates. Everybody will react to that in terms of the stock market or the gold or silver markets. They will react to that. So it has a real effect. But from an economic standpoint and from pumping up the money supply, they've got a lot of different ways that they can surreptitiously do that that people don't
Starting point is 01:55:53 see. And I guess the question when I look at all this, I know what it looks like to have stagflation, lived through that in the 70s. But as you point out, this is going to be much worse. You call it for the longest time, we call it dragflation. And going into a depression, I don't know what the depression is going to look like. My parents went through that. But, you know, just kind of wondering, you know, what is really going to happen when we have this dollar collapse, which a lot of people are talking about. Ray Dalio is talking about that. The Ed Zytron guy is talking about it. A lot of people are talking about. the collapse of the stock market and the dollar.
Starting point is 01:56:30 And the only reason it hasn't happened yet is again because of the, again, one of the people who was there with a dot-com bust that was one of the people they talked about extensively. I can't remember his name right now, but he was in the movie about that. And these guys nearly went bankrupt because they could see what was happening. They could see how it was being rigged, how it was criminal. And they thought that it was going to be called. they underestimated the criminality that was built into the system, the corruption that was built into it, the collusion between the government regulators, between the insurance companies, between the people who are gaming the whole system.
Starting point is 01:57:08 So that's the thing that makes it difficult to time. And as you pointed out many times, you don't make predictions, you look at trends. So they could see the trend, but if they wanted to short it, they had to pick a particular time and make a prediction on it. And that is the difficult thing. But as I look at it, you know, we don't really know when it's going to. happen, and we can't really be sure what it's going to look like, can we? But we can try to get our money out of these bubble assets and into something that is going to be stable, like gold and silver, you point out. And again, this treasury yield thing is a huge, huge issue. And that's for keeping
Starting point is 01:57:44 mortgage rates up, borrowing costs up. Again, look what we're paying and our debt level with these high interest rates and the debt. And again, this is global, by the way. Retail. Retail. sales in Europe are down. People aren't spending money. Again, it's not what you like, what you want, what you wish. It's what is the AFD party winning in Germany recently. Again, you go back to your trends journal. We said this was going to happen going back to 2013.
Starting point is 01:58:16 And here's why. The reason AFD, one of the major reasons that they're winning, is that the economy's going down and immigration is going up. They're against the wars too in Ukraine. They're not supporting the Ukraine war. But here, go back to 2011. Anybody could look it up. After the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner,
Starting point is 01:58:42 when he was overthrowing the government of Libya, Gaddafi, him, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, and Hillary Clinton, Obama, Rice, Clinton, and Susan Power, Gaddafi does this podcast and he warns Berlusconi in Italy, if you overthrow my government, you're going to have an immigration problem in Europe, you're not going to be able to handle. Number two, Obama bombing the hell out of Syria. Millions of people left Syria. The Iraq war, the Afghan war, people leaving their countries as their country.
Starting point is 01:59:25 are going to hell immigrating into Europe. No one is talking about what I'm just saying. I agree. That's a part of the big plan, isn't it? That is the long-term plan. I wish we had more time, but we're out of time. Thank you so much for joining us, Gerald. And again, folks, trendsjournal.com.

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.
