Of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 23rd of September, year of our Lord, 26. Well, we had Trump at the UN yesterday. More lies about Iran and Gaza, and of course, going to war with everyone about everything. We have, even after he met with Iran, we have a very, telling contradiction and what he had to say. But the reality is that it is the economy, stupid.

That was what James Carville said, and he was right. Now it is about the stupid economy that has been brought to us. And it's about the stupid lies that we hear daily. One after the other, one stupid liar from the Trump regime after the other. We got now the Agricultural Secretary joining in. We've got Laura Ingram doing an hour. doing an Alex Jones. Yeah, she was never for the war, she says.

Yeah, this is how bad it has gotten. People are trying to distance themselves from Trump. We'll be right back. Well, oil could top $150 a barrel, says the Bank of America. Wasn't it not that long ago in the beginning of the war? When they failed to secure the Strait of Hormuz, failed to even think about the obvious issue with that, that Iran said, well, it's going to go to 120.

And you had all of the Trump cheerleaders and influencers, Ben Shapiro and all the people at the daily Wire Me Money Israel outlet. And they all mocked that. Oh, it's not a quagmire. And, of course, Laura Ingram was saying the same thing. And now she is singing a different tune, just like Alex Jones. It took a little bit longer to realize that she was on a sinking ship. But the rats eventually jumped, don't they? So just remember how everybody was mocking that.

And now you got Bank of America saying $150 a barrel, not $120. Because they understand that Trump isn't going to stop. And he's said that on multiple occasions. I'm glad about what I did. I'm not going to turn around. And I don't care what happens to Americans. I don't care what happens to you. I don't care what happens to your budget.

I don't care what happens to your business, to your farm, to your ranch. you can all go out of business for all I care, right? Just wait until he's a lame duck, and until the impeachment hearings are stacking up. He's going to get really dangerous. They don't take him out the 25th Amendment, quite frankly. Once he looks at this, right now he's kind of a get off my lawn, old man crank, but he's going to get much, much worse when he starts to see that time is running out on him

because he doesn't care about it right now. So inventories continue to deplete as the Iran war rages on, along with Trump raging on. So they changed their year-end forecast for Brent crude from $83 a barrel to a new target of $95 a barrel and said it'll reach $150 pretty soon. So they expect it to double. And this is clear from the very beginning. Anybody who lived through what happened with the OPEC Olinbargo should understand how. this is going to affect the economy. It's not going to be finished when the war ends.

If the war ends, he's not even talking about ending the war. He keeps telling people, well, as soon as the war ends, and it's going to end real soon, right after the election, it'll end. And then you're going to see that the price of oil is just going to drop. Absolutely will not. This is what Bank of America says, you don't believe me. Although alternative routes and escorted Hormuz shipments have mitigated some of the shortfall. And of course, the other thing that mitigated it was the strategic reserves that the U.S. had and no longer does and other countries as well.

We are actually destroying not only the petroleum reserves, but we're destroying the place where we reserve him by over pumping it. Anyway, they said, nevertheless, damaged infrastructure and rising geopolitical tensions make rapid normalization unlikely. That's right. He has set the mid-east on fire. He did it for Israel. That's part of their greater Israel project. It wasn't about nuclear weapons. It never was about that.

It never was about the bomb that they were going to have in two weeks. I mean, Trump is at the U.N. yesterday, but Netanyahu's been there with his dog and pony shows and his acne bomb nonsense. The people laughed at him for that for 35 years. Trump lectures him and said, you didn't have the courage to do this. Only I would do this. Only you would be that stupid. only you would be that owned, quite frankly. He's nothing but a sock puppet for Benjamin and Netanyahu.

But I said this from the very beginning. This is a very different situation than the opaque oil embargo. Not only does it affect a much larger quantity of oil, but unlike a decision in terms of an embargo or sanction, because it's war, you have facilities that are being destroyed. And they're not going to be rebuilt overnight. As a matter of fact, when you look at Saudi Arabia, in their long pipeline because of their war with the Houthis, that's not going to change

anytime soon. It is incredibly vulnerable, and they will, I don't think, be able to get that back. There's also not a chance that Hormuz opens because there's not a chance that the war will end. There's not a chance that Trump will come to his senses. And so the farmers are in survival mode, they say. as Trump's war on Iran sends diesel cost soaring, fertilizer costs soaring, fuel cost soaring, and then killing their customer base with tariffs.

At the same time, he's going to bring in imports at a discounted rate from Argentina. What is the strategy here? Is there any strategy to this? You're going to tell us that you've got to have tariffs to protect anything just so you hit the farmers who have got grain and corn and things like that. And then Argentina steps in gets a massive subsidy of $20 billion. He doesn't give that to the farmers. Like six or seven months, he drug it out. But right away, he jumped in for Argentina.

And then when it comes to meat, okay, well, he knows that people are upset at the grocery store. So let's do a quick fix, you know, trying to bribe people, just like his $5,000 bribe that he put out there. All of this stuff about bringing in cheap beef is not going to help anybody in the long run. as a matter of fact, it's going to hurt Americans in the long run, just like a $5,000 check to everybody would hurt everyone in the long run. So as Trump's war rages on seven months, economic damage is reverberating all over the world and all over the U.S.

Feeling the most pain are the nation's farmers who are growing increasingly desperate under the weight of rising costs for diesel, fertilizer, and equipment. And again, it's not just the war. It's the tariffs that he did. And the fact that he would put these tariffs in and then for some things and hurt the farmers, and then he had hurt the ranchers by ignoring the tariffs for Argentine beef, Trump says the war in Iran is necessary to prevent the country from building a nuclear weapon. But the farmers say, as they talk to several different farmers than this article,

this is from Zero Hedge, I think it's originally done by CNN in the article. went out and talked to three or four different farmers and ranchers in three or four different states. One of them said, it's his war that caused this, this war in Iran. We're not winning that war. Many farmers feel like we shouldn't be there. Yeah, they're not stupid, even though Michael Bloomberg thinks that they are. Trump says it was necessary to prevent a nuclear weapon.

However, going back to 2007 and up to the eve of the eve of the war, the eve of the U.S. Intelligence Committee repeatedly assessed that Iran was not building one. And oh, by the way, Trump had boasted that whatever nuclear program they had, he had completely destroyed. He still talks about that. Well, you know, they got the nuclear dust, but maybe they're going to make a bomb out the nuclear dust. Yeah, go sell that line at the U.N. Nobody believes that. Another person in North Carolina said, I've done this for 34 years. I've never worried like I have in the past year, and stressed, he said. We've cut everything we can cut.

We've put off replacing equipment, producing some of our own fertilizer. We've opened a pumpkin patch in a hayride business for the fall. The rising costs come after a difficult period that already weakened his operations financial security. And so, you know, we just had yesterday the person who was in charge of the Small Business Association goes on to Fox News and said, oh, it's not a problem for small businesses. They're just looking down on this. I'm sure the same thing is true of the farmers, right?

Not a problem at all. And another farmer says, rancher says, the last several years in agriculture have been terrible. We have cut the fat anywhere we could, but we're just getting to the point now where there's nothing left to cut. You can't run without fuel. You can't run without fertilizer. You've got to have that. Diesel is up 75% from a year ago. The price volatility is an even bigger factor.

This is something that Trump has done with the tariffs. of volatility because it's just whatever mood he's in. He's arbitrary. He's capricious. He's constantly changing. That has been so destructive of small businesses because nobody knows what the price is going to be. It's going up and down, up and down. So he said, it's gotten to the point where as diesel distributors offer price quotations that are only good for a few hours. What does this sound like? Does this sound like a country that is so poorly managed that we have hyperinflation, that the prices are only good for a couple of hours and we're going to adjust this. Why do we have this chaos?

One man has done this to us. And we've got a political system and a political party, the Republicans, who have allowed him to do this. The founders never gave this kind of power to one person for just this reason. And yet, he took the power. And the GOP is afraid to take it away from him. I hope somebody will take it away from him. But anyway, this capricious arbitrary, volatile nature of this man is destroying people as much as the increased prices and shortages. So then they talked to Texas cattle ranchers.

So obviously, the main factor here that we're facing every day is the Iranian situation. Well, no, actually, it's the Israeli situation. He said, his mind-sided by the war, we had no idea he was going to pull that prank with a straight of Hormuz. He didn't tell us. He was going to go do the military maneuvers and try to control the oil supply over there. We had no warning of what was going to happen. Well, he's actually not trying to control the oil supply. This guy is still consuming some MAGA retard propaganda.

That was the one fallback some of these people had when it became an unmitigated disaster. They said, look at this. He's setting up a situation where we're the only ones who have any oil. Yeah, nice try. That's going to be incredibly destructive. It's a global supply. And you're not going to get, this is what he doesn't understand, and they don't understand about the tariffs.

You're not going to change that system that's been put in place over decades. If you don't like it, you're going to have to do it slowly. Otherwise, you're going to crash the global economy, which is what he's doing. You can't just cut off China, for example, and not cut off your rare earth magnets, which is now what is happening. you don't set up your own rare earth facilities or reclaim them. We were the ones who discovered it. We had a monopoly on it.

China got that from us because the government dropped the ball and didn't realize that this critical supplier of these rare earth magnets was being sold to the Chinese. They didn't do their due diligence. We had no idea that he's going to pull this prank, he said. So again, why are these people so upset about this? As we were just told, the Small Business Association of Trump said, well, it's just marginal. And it's insignificant.

The small businesses are looking beyond this. They're all so worried about what's going to happen for greater Israel, that they don't care about this, right? The farmers don't care if they lose their livelihood. They don't care if they lose their farm and their family businesses. Let's just make sure that we take care of Israel. aggressive goals of greater Israel. They want to control the entire Mideast. We should make that happen.

In addition to the war, Bell blames Trump's tariff policies for boosting the price of many of farmers' essentials. He said everything that we're touching. Fertilizer, fuel, chemicals, seed, parts, you know, the whole nine yards. Everything that we touch has gone up because of tariffs, because of war. Another cattle rancher said they feel undercut by Trump's decision to combat rising food prices by eliminating tariffs on imported beef at a time when U.S. ranchers are already under financial distress. I'm already absorbing your high fuel prices that

came out of nowhere. It's like, come on, guys, just give me a little bit of help here. I can't keep absorbing more and more and more, or I simply weren't able to be able to afford to do this anymore. And, you know, that is the reality of all of this. America was great. You want to make America great again, make government small again. America was great because we didn't have government micromanaging our economy. We didn't have government taking such a huge bite of taxes and spending us into oblivion. We didn't have government consolidating all decision making into Washington. And of course, the people are politically involved in both parties want to see that happen. That's why we've got it. Because the people who support these criminals in Washington want to have,

a strong man who's going to execute their policy. But then, you know, what happens is when you elect somebody who is a strong man, who is a dictator, who is a king, he does his own thing. He doesn't really even care about you. All he cares about is his friend in Argentina. What do you have to say to U.S. farmers who feel that the deal is benefiting Argentina more than it is them as they are... Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady.

You don't know anything about it. They're fighting for their life. Not our farmers. They're fighting for their life. You understand what that means? They have no money. They have no anything. They're fighting so hard to survive.

If I can help them survive in a free world, I happen to like the president of Argentina. I think he's trying to do the best he can. But don't make it sound like they're doing great. They are dying. All right? They're dying. But he doesn't care about the dying American farmers, does he?

All he cares about is his buddy who goes. the same synagogue of Satan. I don't want any American to feel sorry for the American farmer, said, Bell. He said, I want Americans to be mad that we've been put into this situation. We're fighting for survival. We're running out of options. I'm very mad, he said. I think there's been some very bad policy that's been made that has led to things getting

to where we are. And, of course, the fundamental bad policy was putting so much power in Washington, putting so much power in the executive office. Again, you want to make America great? America is great because government was not great. Now, government is a great burden on us all, and we should all be mad about this. Most of the farmers and ranchers quoted in this article said they voted for Trump. I'm afraid there's going to be some changes made in voting.

Maybe people are not even voting. Who knows? Because a lot of the people feel like we, the people, are not being heard. That's right. You don't have a place at the table. This is stakeholder capitalism. It is socialism. It is elitism.

Your vote doesn't matter. And even if they count your vote, what you want doesn't matter. But of course, J.D. Vance says, come on, guys, just give us a second chance. Well, the Libertarian Institute has a headline here, which is, you know, what we've always talked about here. Republicans are ditching free markets for free money. That's exactly what it is. And they've also ditched freedom and for a police state. as well. That's what we see happening with the authoritarian Trump regime. The Republican midterm

convention was recently held in Dallas to try to build up their base. It's not working, though. Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives, potentially even in the Senate. We can expect to see investigations, impeachments, hearings, and other procedures intended to bring Trump's second term to a halt. Well, there's that. We could hope that's what happens. I mean, the best case scenario is that these guys get Trump on the defense and stop this war. I don't know they'll stop the war. They certainly will attack him because that's what both parties are about. They're both about personal attacks on the other one and grandstanding in Congress without getting anything done. Would the Democrats stop the war if they had a majority? Not clear.

Would they get him impeached and get him out? Not clear. Maybe they'll impeach people in his cabinet like Hegg Seth. They like having these wedge issues that they can crusade about, but the second they get in power, nothing ever changes. That's right. They'll sit there and they'll bang the drums about, well, we've got to stop this war. We've got to stop this war. The second they get in, they'll find a million excuses as to why we can't pull out now.

We're too far in. We've got to slowly roll it back and then there's a lot of 20 years. Who are grabbing the shackles as fast as they can anyway. Oh, yeah. Money buys everyone on either side of the aisle. That's right. As PJR. Warwick said back in the 90s, I think it was, you were to a book called A Parliament of Hors. That is pretty clear. That's what we are today, isn't it?

So again, just ending the war would be a great outcome, but I don't even know that do that. And then you got Donald Trump doing his FDR imitation, promising a chicken in every pot. I think that was FDR that's promising that. But, you know, $5,000 in every household. which is even worse than FTR. FDR is promising general prosperity. And, of course, he had a socialist attack on all of that. But Trump's just going to, I'm just going to hand money out to people.

Just print a bunch of it. Given that we're still feeling the economic whiplash of reckless spending in 2020, see, who was it that was president then? Who was it that set us on an entirely new slope of debt accumulation? Yeah, that was Trump. Biden continued it. It's a sad reflection on our political. system that an idea like this is not universally ridiculed. Well, because it is universal basic

income. Trump moved the Overton window with the stimulus checks in lockdown. And now he's back at it again because he's not just a Zionist. He's also a technocrat. And that's the other group of people who control him, the technocrats. It's not just welfare either. They don't talk about the fact that Democrat Don wants to control industry. And it's not just a bailout for troubled companies. No, no, no. He wants to invest in companies and control them. He is at heart a socialist.

So, and again, his goal is to make money out of it personally. That's why I always talk about crony capitalism. I call it, you know, corrupt capitalism. It's corruption. Because what you're doing is you're helping your friends who give you money. and you're getting, you know what you're doing in terms of how you're going to move the markets and you make plays and all that to benefit yourself with stocks. That was the argument, by the way, that many people who were against the creation of the Federal Reserve were making.

They said they'll create boom and bust cycles. You know, they might even make statements and play the stock market the same day, like Trump. Ted Cruz recently said, well, here's the reality. The communists are winning Democrat primaries. Well, here's the reality that I've said over and over again. The GOP are the Democrats of my youth, and the Democrats are the communists of my youth. That's where we are today. The House Republicans official Twitter account said our parents' generation defeated socialism abroad.

Now we have to defeat it at home. Well, if you need to do that, you need to get rid of Trump, first of all, because he is a Democrat, he's a socialist and a fascist. He wants to merge these corporations and government at the same time. How can it be then, says the Libertarian Institute, that the same party touting its credibility in the fight against big government economic planning is also led by a president who's offering every American adult a free $5,000. Isn't this an example of the very economic interventionism Republicans claim to oppose? Well, that brings us back to the headline of the article.

So are you going to have free markets or free money? Are you going to have free markets or are you going to have tariffs? Are you going to have free markets or are you going to have war? Are you going to have free markets? Are you going to have universal basic income? Are you going to have free markets or are you going to have Trump? He is adamantly opposed to not only our individual civil liberties but also our economic liberties. And again, those are the two components that were always key that people look at to see where you are on the economic spectrum.

if you don't just follow the simple-minded straight line of left and right. Republicans are in favor now of redistributing wealth. Instead of funneling it, however, from the rich to the poor, they do it the other way around. They funnel from the poor to the rich. Look at the military industrial complex, the artificial intelligence tech bros, pharmaceutical companies.

Fundamentally, it is a race to the bottom, and Democrats are seeking an expansion of the state's involvement in the economic affairs of peaceful people. Republicans are devaluing our dollar through money printing. They are taxing us. They are preventing our money from going as far. They are transferring money as a reverse Robin Hood from the poor to the rich and in terms of their crony capitalism.

And then the tariffs and the war. So the $5,000 is fundamentally a quid pro quo bribe. And we all know that. and they're bribing us with our own money, trying to anyway. Quick cash in exchange for keeping control of Congress. What does it say about our political system when the mask slips to this point? Well, it tells us that it is a corrupt casino mafia don that is now in charge of the Republican Party. That's why the Republican Party is unrecognizable.

Both parties now openly embrace. socialist policies, leaving economic planning to a centralized government. Libertarians knew all along they were speaking and empty slogans, preaching capitalism while throwing money at politically favored industries and state-aligned corporations. However, there is something that is lost when they don't even bother to pretend anymore. That's the other thing that Trump has brought to us. Remember, had, what is the DeChapelle? of the comedian who said, yeah, Trump, and this said this in the first time, he said, Trump is different from everybody else. He said, he'll come out and tell you, you know what they're doing back there in

this private meeting, and it's awful, you know, and then he'll go back in and join them. Yeah, there's no pretense anymore. They're not even pretending to not do this. What Trump has brought is a shameless defiance of the rule of law, a shameless defiance of morality and ethics. That is what is different about the Trump administration, the regime. That is its shamelessness. The rest of us caught in the crossfire, the two political party turf war, are left to suffer the economic pain that will invariably result from their policies and from their wars. Here's an example.

Wendy's is now facing 300 closures across 15 states due to crippling beef prices. As a matter of fact, you know, when we look at this, we had the U.S. Department of Agriculture Brooke Rollins is out there saying, well, you know, here she is another multi-millionaire in the Trump regime. You know, they've got this thing where there's, and they showed a picture of it, it was Susie Wiles, who has this gilded watch on a wrist. And they said, you know what that watch is? That's a special Rolodex watch. And just a regular Rolodex watch like that costs $500,000.

How old are- Yeah, what I say? Rolodex. Okay, might as well be. A Rolodex watch. Watch would be more actually useful than a Rolex watch. That's one that's got the little digits that flip over, right? You know, when it changes this.

Anyway, yeah, thank you for great. A Rolex watch. You can tell I don't own any of these things. It must keep, as Lance says, really good time to cost $500,000. But no, it's all gilded, right? And it's not enough to have a $500,000 Rolex watch. No, they want to have it even more special. so they have a custom-made altered version of that that has something to do about being in the Trump regime

and they're all wearing these watches now Trump of course did not hand those out like he did the floor shime shoes to everybody and you got these guys walking on these shoes he got a little Marco's feet were smaller than Trump estimated but he's going to wear those shoes even if the shoes are too big for his feet because the government is really too big. for these guys, but they try to wear the shoes anyway. Anyway, they've all got this watch, and they bought it themselves, just so they could be part of this club. You know, it's like an initiation fee.

And it's not a big deal because they're all making so much money while the rest of us go bankrupt. And so you've got this other elitist billionaire, not a billionaire, Brooke Rollins, who's at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and she's on with this hopeless sycophant, Benny Johnson again. and she's talking about how, yeah, it's not a problem that people can't afford meat. Why is it? But if it is too expensive, unlike fuel, Benny, you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs. There are other sources of really good protein. Let them eat cake.

All of those prices are coming down as well. So it isn't necessarily breaking out there. And listen, I'm a mom of four. I'm still feeding a whole bunch of kids, very hungry kids. I realize that. Yeah, she's just a soccer mom, right? Too high. We're doing everything we can to bring them down after the bite.

years of crazy, crazy inflation. And we're making... Well, you know, let them eat cake, right? You don't need meat. Just eat cake. And so it's got to the point where, as we've said in the past, people look at going to one of these fast food restaurants. He's not think anything about it.

And now it's become so expensive. So expensive, as a matter of fact, Wendy's is going to have to close 300 stores. This is their biggest franchisor is going bankrupt. And it's, again, they may be the first ones for this to happen because maybe they've got some other issues and they do have some other issues. Nevertheless, all of even the fast food places are feeling the crunch. But she's not feeling it at all. She's not worried about this. And neither is a small business association manager that was on.

You just need to get used to it because we've got to do something for Israel. We'll be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a real. revolutionary act you're listening to the david knight show hello it's me volodymy zelenski i'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years you'd think with all the billions i've skimmed off america i could dress better and i could if only david knight would send me one of his beautiful gray mcuffuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost.

Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the David Knight Show.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various gala and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bomb and missiles coming from the USA. Yeah, welcome back, and I just want to thank the donors that have supported us this month. We are now up to 5-8s, and I think Karen has changed the gas gauge there.

But let me just thank some of the people who've contributed on Zell. We've got Joshua J, Sally D., Kelly Ann, E. M. Maryland G. Thank you very much. Mitchell M. Susan L. Thank you, Susan. L. Thank you, Susan. Michael P. Gregory I. And Craig M. Thank you so much, all of you. And it's always the usual people who support us. And we really do thank them. They are the producers of this show, the ones who keep it going. And as we are taking a little bit of a break from the news here, let me point. out that Homestead Products has got your favorite spice on sale here, Travis. And of course, they are now at eBay. And I think we've got the link on our website. I have to check that.

But we have a link to where you can find them on eBay. But if you go to eBay and just look for Homestead products, you'll find this sauce that is on sale. Travis absolutely loves that. It is a really delicious hot sauce. I used it all up very quickly because I was throwing it on just about everything. You know, I'd get some more right now. Well, let's talk a little bit about what is going on with Trump's censorship and TV. Let's understand, first of all, that he creates these arbitrary wars. He surprised everybody in the White House when he kicked out CNN, MS, NOW, and Politico.

He kicked him out of the White House press corps. And, you know, I, it's really his continuing. his war with the press. However, there is no right in the Constitution to be a member of the White House Press Corps. Trump is right when he said it is a privilege and not a right. That is not what the First Amendment is about. Well, the First Amendment is about is having a free press that isn't sued or threatened by Trump's institutions. You've got the FCC threatening people if they've got something that he doesn't like. He brings ruinous lawsuits against people for telling the truth about him. Wall Street Journal, for example, $10 billion lawsuit. He's got another one for the BBC. He didn't

like the way CBS edited an interview with La La Harris. But even though he won, he came after CBS with the massive lawsuit. So those are the issues that he's got with the press. As I played yesterday, It really goes back to some of the issues that he had when people called him out as a liar like Barbara Walters did when he was talking about what a great businessman he was. And she kind of poked a lot of holes in that mythology that he had going on. But when you look at what is happening with the White House situation, I think that is a manufactured fight just to distract people from the war, from the economy, and these other issues that are all his problem. So he puts up, at the same time he shuts that down, he puts up Trump TV. It flopped in a ratings disaster, says the mirror. Trump has been humiliated in his new 24-hour video channel, immediately flopped with this initial ratings nowhere near as good as he might have hoped.

It started out with 8,000, dropped 90 minutes later to 4,000 by 9 p.m., only 3,000 viewers were watching it. And then it got even lower. As a matter of fact, we're looking at this and it's not just a live show that we've got, but we have the show that goes on a lot of different formats. I actually have higher ratings than Trump TV. How could that possibly be? Anyway, it's kind of crazy. And I don't have people censoring me everywhere.

He doesn't have people censoring him everywhere. Trump is literally getting ready to launch a state-run media called Trump TV. Didn't we have another dictator with state-run media? Or was I just imagining that, said one person. Others compared this to Kim Jong-un. I would compare it to NPR. You know, I don't like to see government-funded media, but as some people point out,

what's different about this is, of course, he's got to put his name on it as well. And it's also the context in which this happened. But Ben Shapiro thinks it's a great thing. So President Trump just banned. and CNN Politico and MS now from the White House. And I could not care less. The idea here is not that these outlets are being shut down.

But it gives them something to talk about besides the war. By the way, that CNN is quote-unquote fake news. It is obviously true that every error at CNN moves in the same direction. All outlets make errors and all outlets correct their errors. But every single error at CNN moves in the same direction. And some of these have been pretty... So do yours, Ben. go back to the five-year-old clinging to his father during the ICE arrest,

the CNN headline about all of that, right? Or the report that Hegsef was going to kill everybody, that he said to kill everybody, which turns out there was no support for, or MSNM's headline. Just the people who are trying to drive the water. And the U.S. was complicit. And they put up a photo of a Gazin baby with a genetic disorder,

making it look as though the effect of starvation in Gaza, which, by the way, did not happen. It did not. There's where we go. That's where we get back to. Yeah, he's upset. with these guys because they're not pro-Israel enough. As a matter of fact, it didn't work out that well for Trump, even on his very first day. And I don't know, like I said yesterday, whether it was

the White House that was responsible for this error or whether it was newsmax, but they had video and no audio. Here he is doing a river and cutting of his extravagant custom granite helipad, and nobody can hear anything that he's saying. Yeah, that's the incompetence on display of the Trump administration. So there is no microphone because there's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there. So maybe, Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit. Pick up on some of things Michael was saying. And obviously the ramifications are right here.

Can't hear what the president's saying. Yeah, hoisted by his own petard. The sigh in her voice, right? The sighed in her voice at the end there, the, you can tell she's just used to this level of incompetence. like, yeah, this is who we are. Welcome to the clown show, Hong Kong. Yeah. Hoisted by his own petard, blown up by his own bomb, right?

So again, look over there. The communists said one person. Meanwhile, he is shredding the Constitution. And again, there is no constitutional right to be on the White House press corps. I understand that. I mean, we've been in that kind of a situation. And you don't need to be right in front of him to tell that he's lying. You can see the lies going around the world. The White House access is a privilege,

not a right, said the White House on X, and they're right about that. So meanwhile, Trump said on social media that he cherished a free press. No, he does not cherish a free press whatsoever. As a matter of fact, when he spoke at the UN yesterday, look at his attitude when Caitlin Collins of CNN was there to ask him a question. He was outraged. How did you even get in here? You're supposed to be kept away. See, that's the attitude that he's talking about.

You're supposed to be banned. This is the attitude of a Zionist. Every time, just like with Ben Shapiro, every time somebody criticizes Israel, they have to be banned, they have to be eliminated completely. That's what he thought he was doing. He wasn't just revoking their White House privileges.

He was trying to ban them like a typical Zionist. We see this over and over again. Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans, two-thirds of Americans don't think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will end? It's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. The United Nations allowed us in, sir. You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to

cover me. You shouldn't be covering it. Two-thirds of Americans don't think that the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end? We're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much. Yeah, he hates the press. He hates a free press. He hates free speech. You're not supposed to be here.

I've got a Zionist man on you, right? He just didn't call her racist and anti-Semitic, but everything else is essentially there. Trump began his second term by ordering the federal government to secure the right of American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech, quote unquote, and end federal censorship. Well, it was just another head fake,

like he was going to end wars, which he didn't end any of them. Nevertheless, he did claim the UN yesterday that he ended the Gaza War. Well, that's good news for everybody if it were true, but it's not. Just another lie. The White House launched a government-produced television channel bearing his name while barring CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House. The opening selection carried a peculiar irony. It began with Trump.

his July 3rd speech at Mount Rushmore, where he celebrated American exceptionalism and then warned of a communist menace, only for his new channel to echo a practice that is long associated with communist regimes. Government controlling broadcasting. That is really what he seeks to do. It's not just about White House press corps privileges. No, it's about the lawsuits. It's about the warfare that he uses with the FCC to punish people he doesn't like their content. It's about saying, how did you get here? The UN should have stopped you from coming in here. That's what the big context is about.

And it's because of what he's doing, that he knows that what he's doing is wrong, unconstitutional, and is hurting everyone in the world, especially Americans. And he doesn't care. He doesn't want to talk about. And so Caroline Lovett goes on to Fox News and says, it's scary that networks are allowed to choose not to air Trump addresses life. Yeah, she's another one of these authoritarian people who is always lying.

Imagine that. You got a press secretary saying, what she's essentially saying here is that it's scary that the government can't mandate these people to carry Trump's speeches. And then to not criticize him. It's scary that they're allowed to criticize them. It's scary that they're allowed to criticize them. It's scary that they're allowed not to cover his speeches. This is the leader we're talking about here, right?

You need to bow down to him like he was Kim Jong-un. That is Caroline Levitt. And Caroline has always been Carol lying as far as I'm concerned. She got on with Sean Hannity and talked about this. Listen to what she said. She said, I've gotten on the phone with the leadership of all those stations. I said, why aren't you taking the president's remarks live? let your audience decide how they feel about this.

But she thinks that it's scary that they don't broadcast this. And she said, and for networks to make the editorial decision themselves, that they will not cover it for their audience, that is scary stuff. We should be hanging on every word of the dear leader. And everything that he said should be force fed to the public, according to her.

She said that there have been times when reporters who even said to me, I'm sorry I had to ask you that today. you know my bosses really wanted me to ask that. They know that it's an unfair question, but they're not in control of their own livelihood, she told Sean Hannity. They are dictated to by the editors and the executives at some of these companies. What hypocrisy for Colline Lovett and Sean Hannity to say that about other people? You don't think Sean Hannity has told what to say?

Tucker Carlson was told what to say at Fox News. He made it pretty clear. You don't talk about this. You don't talk about that. or you're going to lose your job. You don't criticize the vaccines or the pandemic while you're there. It's safe once you're gone to criticize it, but not while you're there. And then what about her?

Does she go back to the reporters and say, I'm sorry I had to lie to you about that, but my boss insisted that I lie because he's the biggest liar out there. No, she doesn't say that. Supposedly, they apologized because they had to ask her an unfair question. when she gives a lie in response because of her boss, this is how this whole charade works. This is why I don't even really take these press conferences seriously, except to show that they're a group of liars lying to us and thinking that we believe it.

As a guy who said that, who was the guy that had the, he talked about the men north of Richmond. And he said, they lie to it. and they think we don't know it, but that was my favorite line. Yeah. Anyway, almost from the beginning. Oliver Anthony. Thank you.

Yeah, Oliver Anthony. Yeah, they lied to us and think we don't know. They're lying. Almost from the beginning, I said, I can see, you know, the briefing with Caroline Love it coming to Fox News Channel. She's telling this to Sean Hannity. This is what it's all about. Yeah, she wants to be a celebrity.

She wants to be rich. So she'll lie to you in order to get that. Yeah, I got my own show coming up, don't I, Sean? I can see it happening. I know that you're going to help me to make this come true. Well, then there was Trump at the UN. What did he say? He talked about, well, everybody was talking about the media ban,

but he's talking about how he was the only one who had the guts to take on Iran. He's the only one who has owned that much by the Israeli government to do it. And then he pretends that he's done some kind of a deal with Greenland. the people in Greenland and Denmark are laughing at him. They said, you didn't get anything out of this. He's going to expand the military base that has been there since World War II. And it was after World War II, it had 10,000 people in it. It's got 150 now.

So he's going to expand that and call that a victory. Just like if he could ever get the Strait of Hormuz opened up that he closed, oh, that would be a big cause celebrity, right? We're going to all celebrate the fact that he got straight of Hormuz. open again after he closed it. So he also is seeking to make sure that there is no international regulation of artificial intelligence, which is what one of his controllers, Peter Thiel, demands. And he talks about the fact that he's thinking about a diesel export ban. This is not really going to help, but it is a global market. And as people have talked about with that, you can try

to circle the wagons and close the border for a number of things. but the bottom line is, pay attention to what the fundamental issue is. What is causing this problem? Focus on that. Trump threatened again, the annihilation of Iran. Again, he's a comical farce. And this guy is nevertheless dangerous.

But what he reminds me of when he gets to these situations like he was at the UN, he reminds me of most of Nikita Khrushchev, who I think it was at the UN, where he takes off his shoe and he starts banging the podium. And he says, we will bury you. Well, everybody took him seriously. Because he's the leader of Russia.

They've got nuclear weapons. We've got a similarly deranged and dangerous idiot who is in charge here in America. He's just like, he's not only like Jimmy Carter, but he's also like Nikita Khrushchev. That's not a good combination crossing Nikita Khrushchev with Jimmy Carter. You got to imagine as a leader of Russia, he probably could have found a gavel he could have brought, you know. That's right. Well, and then this, listen to this. Listen to what he brags about. He's talking about Venezuela. And he says to the UN, he talks about how they're pirating this stuff. He says, To the victor, go the spoils. Well, there's a lot of us who would like to know where those spoils are

going. He's spoiled so many things with his corruption. As a matter of fact, Leah, who has the Leophiles, was looking for all of this money that has disappeared. It's about 11 billion. And we can't find where that went. It was taken from Venezuela. We don't know who has it in the Trump administration or if it's even still in the government's bank accounts or is it found its way in the pockets of some of these crooks in the Trump regime. In the United States flew in and captured Maduro. We took over Venezuela's oil and we said that we were going to protect the money for the Venezuelan. Fast forward eight months and Scott percent sat in front of Congress last week and testified that he wasn't going to tell them how much money was in these accounts. from Venezuelan oil, and that it's the largest asset on our books. And according to Trump, the war's been paid for 10 times over based on this money. My question was, how is it an asset on our books? How are we paying for this war 10 times over when the money belongs to the Venezuelan

people? So I followed the money. And it doesn't look like we're holding it, guys. It looks like we're taking it. I'm going to walk you through it. Welcome to the Leophiles. I uncover fraud and corruption and follow the money on today's headlines. You can find this full investigative article up on my substack. That link is in my bio. It is free. It has the sources, proof, everything. I can only get through so much in a three to five minute video, but let's go.

The only reason I started following the money on this in the first place was because Gopacin's answer gave me red flags. So let's talk about how we got here. January 3, 26, we fly in and we take Maduro. A few days later, we take control of Venezuela's oil supply, and we handpick the traders. which we're going to come back to. We make sure that the money is going to U.S. controlled banks.

First, the money is going to flow to a bank in Qatar. Why did it go to Qatar first, you ask? Well, that's a great question. Turns out, according to Marco Rubio, it's because Venezuela had $20 billion in judgments for creditors against them here in American courts. So in order for the American courts not to touch it, well, they had to put it in a bank in Qatar.

Because the second it landed in a U.S. bank, well, we'd be S.O.L. Keep that in mind. So was Trump like, we have to pay your creditors, you know, American companies that have been screwed over? No, no, no. On January 9th, he was like, I'm going to sign an executive order stating the United States as the custodians of this money from the oil. You're going to hold it for the Venezuelan people and you have to ask permission to use it. In addition, I'm going to make it illegal for any creditors to come after this money. So here's the thing.

We have it on our books as an asset, even though we don't own it. It's the Venezuelan people. It should be a liability. because we have to give it back to them, right? But also, so far, and I'll talk about this in a second, I found $11 billion. Well, $20 billion is owed to creditors. So really, when Trump said we've paid for this war 10 times over with this money,

no, we haven't. We're actually in the negative because creditors are still owed $20 billion. So while they're saying that it's to keep the money away from corrupt politicians, what it really looks like is that you're trying to keep it away from creditors, the people who are owed this money. So here's how I found the money that Scott percent told Congress that he wasn't going to tell them, Well, it's on his website.

It's public record. Either way, the Treasury puts out a daily balance sheet, and it shows the flow of money in and out the totals for the day by agency. The Department of State has the oil fund money. So that's where I started, and I went back two years to look at a baseline. And what I found was that over the two years, the largest day they had of influx of money was $54 million. Keep that in mind. When I get to February 5th of 2026, I notice a 500,

$14 million deposit that day. Ten times their two-year high. So I was like, this is the money. And then just seven days after this on February 13th, Chris Wright, the Department of Energy Secretary, says that the money is going to start moving from Cutter over, but it had already been moving. They honestly just think we're stupid. All right, so this graphic again, you can find on my substack along with all these other things. Two years, you can see it's pretty much the same, month over month. And then the red is 2026. So we captured Maduro and then boom. We by spring are taking in $2.7 billion a month. The total ended up being about $14.7 billion that I captured. We have claimed that $3 billion went back to the Venezuelan people. However, Venezuela claims that $300 million has

gone back. That's a 10x difference. Where's the other $2.7 billion? So let's say that even was the case. We're left with about 11.4 billion, okay? So who's getting paid? Right, you can see at the top, you have the two Swiss traders that we said, okay, we're going to approve you to sell the oil. They do it through concealed license contracts. Oh, and these two Swiss traders, well, they've already paid the... You know, it must be national security because we can't tell you where it's going.

We've got to keep everything secret. And, of course, that is the reality of this beard that they use called national security. We can't tell you what is happening with this. It's got a no big contract with Halliburton or we got a cut our bank account that we're putting the Venezuelan money in and you can't follow it but again you can go to the Leophiles

and you can get all that information we're not going to play a five minute video of it here but you get the idea there's very little money that it's going back to the Venezuelan people we have replaced one corrupt authoritarian criminal in Venezuela with an authoritarian corrupt criminal in the United States, Trump.

And so this is, to the victor goes the spoils. He even brags about it. He's even said, you know, we're operating kind of like pirates. Yeah. And you're killing people who are shipwrecked in the water. You're blowing boats out of the water because you suspect they have something to do with a drug trade. Even if it was a drug trade, that is not a capital defense under our laws. But we don't obey the laws of America.

We don't obey the Constitution. we don't obey international law. We don't obey the rules of engagement at the Pentagon either. There are no rules. He can do whatever he wants. And he's said that over and over again. And he's demonstrated it over and over again. He also signed an agreement with Denmark and Greenland that he was excited about and

bragging about the UN. And he said, now we're all good. You know, he's going to stop threatening them perhaps. But when you look at what the Greenland deal is really about. Under the deal, the U.S. will be allowed to build more military bases and modernize and expand

its activities. We all had always had that ability. And the military base that is there has about 150 service members, as I said. It did have at one point in time 10,000 members that were there. But he's telling

everybody that he ended the Gaza War as well. Everything. A few weeks later, we ended the war in Gaza, saving untold thousands of lives, we also brought home all remaining hostages, both living and dead. I guess that's one of the eight wars that he imagines that he ended. Again, he hallucinates like he was AI. And yet he loves AI.

Of course he does. Superintelligence is what he's going to call it. Going forward in U.S. documents, he's not going to call it artificial intelligence. It's going to be superintelligence. I think it should be, if we're going to call it S-I, it should be surveillance intelligence, because that's what it's really good at. He went on to say he doesn't like artificial because it sounds fake. Maybe we should start calling him the artificial president because he sounds fake.

But the reality is that it is going to be used for authoritarian police state surveillance purposes. And we're going to have a AI czar. Guess who the AI czar? apparently it's going to be, according to Sources on Washington, they say the leading candidate for that, is going to be none other than Soros's own Bessent. Think about that. As I've said over and over again, why is it that that's not a red flag for Maga? Well, it's because they cheer everything that Trump does.

For the longest time, Soros has been the boogeyman of the right, and rightfully so, rightfully so. And yet when his right-hand man who helped him to break the Bank of England and then went on to break the bank of Japan and profited by billions of dollars, that's what Scott Besson did, we put him in charge of the U.S. Treasury to bankrupt us and profit at it. He and Howard Lutnik, I guess, and Trump. And so then he's going to be put in because he's such a smart guy. He's going to be put in his head of AI, the AI czar. Understand how artificial intelligence is going to be used. It is going to be there to audit us in the smallest detail. Here's an example where AI is being used to ferret out minor building code violations

because they put cameras on the dump trucks. And tonight, does your house have a blight score? NBC5 Investigates has now obtained city records showing Dallas homes are now being blighted scored by AI cameras the city recently mounted on track. cameras that capture images of your property and use AI to identify possible code violations, in some cases leading to warnings that could eventually result in fines. Tonight's senior investigative reporter Scott Friedman has the list of thousands of properties scored so far and why some homeowners and privacy advocates have concerns.

This all comes as debate rages nationwide over AI slot cameras police used to track vehicles. In Dallas, bulk trash collection trucks now have AI cameras, too, not focused on streets, but homes. Records we obtained through a city open records request show the city tested the cameras in April, ramped up use over the summer, and now hundreds of homeowners are receiving code enforcement warnings after the trucks rolled past their homes. As the trash goes out in Dallas, pictures now pour in. NBC5 investigates obtained the city code enforcement database, showing addresses of more than 21,000 properties photographed with trash truck AI cameras since April.

Properties with a camera detected at least one code violation and assigned a blight score. Four is the worst and one is the least severe. This is pretty wild to be a number two. Ty Williams owns a house near Forest Lane and Webb Chapel, where the records show a trash truck camera detected a chimney paint issue and assigned the property a blight score of two. He's guessing the camera spotted this discolour. on the chimney, which he says may be mildew.

I feel like they're making an issue out of nothing. We requested the trash truck camera images of this property and others to see exactly what the cameras saw, but the city hasn't released the images yet. Yeah, we're nearly at a time. I have to take a break. But look, folks, that's what this is really about. There was a story, I don't remember if I covered it or not, out of California, where they had local code people, very cheap property for California that they bought.

and there was a code violation for the previous owner. They looked at it. They said, well, you've got a shed there that you haven't declared. If you got a shed that you built that you haven't declared, we're going to guess that that's for growing marijuana. So we're going to fine you for the building code violation and fine you for growing marijuana. Millions of dollars they compounded this fine into.

And, of course, it's not just going to be on the garbage truck. It'll also be flying around on AI drones. That's the way this is going to operate. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. Stay with us. It's your move. And now, the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back. Let me get a couple of these comments here before Gerald Slinty joins us. Angelo, 1999, have been looking for an old diesel so I can always make my own fuel, but they're so hard to find and expensive.

I saw BJ40. I had to ask Travis what that was. He said it was a model of Toyota Land Cruiser. I love those, but I can't afford it. You know, years ago, and it was back when we were in North Carolina, we got an old diesel Mercedes, and we were going to turn it into a greasel, that's what they called it. And so I started looking at it, and we got the car with the intention of doing that, but it handled and drove so well, and the engine was so strong. I thought, it'd be kind of a shame to ruin this thing if I don't do it right. And you have to preheat the vegetable water.

that you use and you could go around and you could try to find somebody that you're going to take the vegetable oil. What we found was giving around to a restaurant, for example. They wanted to make sure that you're going to take all of it. And so that can be a bit of a problem if you are not really set up. It's going to be a big enterprise. It's kind of like at one point in time we looked at getting some of these Madagascar chameleons for the boys. I thought they were fascinating. but we found out just how difficult they are to keep. And you have to basically spend all your time growing crickets for them to eat. And they are so finicky about things.

Even about drinking water, you have to have them at just the right temperature. You got to constantly be dripping water. They weren't just drinking out of receptacle. So he gave up on that idea, and the greasles started to look more and more like buying a Madagascar a chameleon in terms of having to find the used vegetable oil from a restaurant or something. And then there was some chemicals that you need to use as part of the process that were kind of hazardous and dangerous and some things like that. So we wound up not doing that.

But if I could find a different way to do it, I would do that. Also, fun facts about chameleons, they don't actually have very good personalities as far as lizards go. They're very temperamental that way, too. They tend to be kind of angry and feisty. I never thought about lizards having a good personality, quite frankly, but I just thought they were funny to watch them because their eyes are going in different directions. They are really cool. It's kind of like what people do when they listen to Trump speak, I guess.

If someone is looking for a lizard, I'd say get a gecko of some kind. They come in all kinds of different varieties. Some of them are really easy to care for. Some are difficult. Some are small. Some are large. They're just really cool little lizards. I just thought the chameleons were just really funny.

Even their feet, you know, their feet look like they got like little socks. and when they walk, they shake. It's part of their camouflage, I think. But anyway, never did that either. Audi, Modern Retro Radio, good to see you. Of course, it shows it's all a lie, damn it. He has that on Rumble and other places. He said Democrats will not stop the war if they regain congressional control.

In fact, I would not be surprised if the GOP retains control, giving Democrats an out to dodge putting their money where their mouth is. Yeah, well, we don't know. I mean, I've never seen this level of disgust with the incumbent party. Always and midterm, you have seats that are lost. They don't have that much of a lead in the House of Representatives. Of course, if they don't change the Senate, nothing much is going to happen with that either. But we've got a Jimmy Carter Republican that is in there right now.

It's kind of interesting to see what happens. But Americans will feel the Great Depression. This is a Raddus Bro. Yeah. Before foreigners and illegals because they won't shut down welfare or food stamps or benefits. They will continue to steal your money to pay for these parasites. They will send your sons and daughters. While the illegals continue to loot this nation, you will lose your home, your help, your nation, even your children, as long as this path continues forward. Yeah, as a matter of fact, there was somebody put up as a joke in Britain because they're trying to prepare everybody for war. They start putting up these raw-rah recruitment posters, you know, like Peg Seth is doing with his Send Me campaign.

And, of course, they put up a white male soldier. Somebody said, well, it's good to see that the white males are back as far as the British government is concerned, only for this purpose, only to go fight their wars. That's a running joke. You know things are getting serious and they're going to send you to die when they start putting white people back in the military ads. Yeah. Well, you look at how serious they are in Ukraine. I mean, again, kidnapping middle-aged men and taking them to the front lines handcuffed and shackled. That's what it's come to there.

You're talking about a draft. Yeah, that's it. Thank you so much. IRS machine gun. Thank you for the tip. He says, get some gas. Well, I'll get a couple of gallons there made with that. Thank you.

I appreciate that. And DG.A. Thank you. He says, David, that money has gone to Lucky Lutnik and the power bottom Bessent. What world is Lutnik and Bessent good people? Not in my book, they're not. But, of course, they're exactly the kind of person that Trump is looking for. They're going to cut him in on whatever deals they do.

And they're a lot sharper businessmen than Trump is. Not that they're good. They're just crooked. Trump is scolding world leaders to their face and explosive speech at the UN saying that only he could act to confront the Iran threat. As I said before, nobody else was that stupid. And nobody else believed Netanyahu, even though he did one dog and pony show after the other at the UN for several decades.

He ripped world leaders at the UN over their failure to confront the threat posed by Iran, saying that only he was bold enough. I think he misspelled that. I think only he was sold out enough. He wasn't bold. He was sold. And we know who bought him. Trump accused the fanatical Iranian regime, he said,

of slaughtering over 72,000 of its own citizens. Well, how many people did he kill and cripple with his bioweapon jab? He said, for 51 years, the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed, mass murder. Wait a minute. The standard line that you've got there, 47, is that it was 47 years. It's 47 years after they overthrew the Shah of Iran. But, of course, the Shah of Iran was involved in bloodshed, mass murder. death, torture, and carnage. We put him in in 1953, as I've said for the longest time,

it is not 47 years. It's 73. But he can't even get his lies straight. He's now talking about 51 years. And then he starts talking about the cartels, he said, are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere. They're not good people, he said. Well, actually, I think this is an apt metaphor to compare the cartels to ISIS. Because we created ISIS, we created the cartels with the drug war, which came from the UN, by the way. It was the UN's war on drugs that Richard Nixon took their schedules. They got four different categories of drugs, and they decided which drugs go on which categories. And he basically signed his homework and turned it in and called it his war on drugs.

Well, what the war on drugs did was it created these very cartels. So, yes, we created ISIS. We created the drug cartels as well. And it's kind of interesting when you look at ISIS. You know, every country in the Middle East has been attacked by ISIS except one. Israel. What does that tell you? It should tell you something.

It should tell you who is the creator of these different ones. Even if you don't want to pay attention to all the testimony about how the U.S. was flying in weapons to ISIS and so forth. I mean, we made an open show of support for the Mujah Hadin. to use them against Russia and Afghanistan. But then, of course, they changed their name, their al-Qaeda. Now they're the boogeyman who took down the trade centers. We've got to have a war in Iraq and Afghanistan,

even though we say it was Saudi terrorists who took down the towers. And we wind up giving them weapons and using them, Al-Nusra. And then when they supported the ISIS people, successors to ISIS in Syria. And the guy who comes in has been a member of all these different groups that are nothing other than just rebranding and relabeling. He's now, you know, the head of Syria. And we helped to put him in there. We had A10 wardhogs that were flying air support for them in the final stages. And so now it's above board again that we're for these guys. We keep changing the names, but it's the same thing. So Trump says,

He cast out on the U.S. relationship with Mexico of the violent drug rings are notorious for shepherding drugs across the border. Unfortunately, he said, is acceptable, unacceptable with the U.S. to share a 2,000-mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels. So Mexico must reclaim control of its soil from the enemies of humanity. Or I guess we will, right? He is spoiling to do that as well. Well, when we look at J.D. Vance, I played the little,

thing that somebody did on AI making fun of him because he came out and said, come on, give us a second chance. Well, a lot of people are not necessarily looking to do that. And is he really that different from Trump? Aides are bracing for a brutal 2028 primary fight. You've got Ted Cruz who is chomping at the bits to challenge him. And we've got what they call him the headline here at Daily Mail. Fox News's favorite senator.

Who would that be? Well, that's Senator John Kennedy. out of Louisiana. And he really is a gadfly. He's a guy who is a raconteur and tells a good joke. I don't trust him, but I think he's a little bit young for the job.

He's only 74. I don't know that we want to have somebody that young and inexperienced in the White House. I mean, look at how these, what I find, these old guys like Trump and Biden have been for us. Look at all that wonderful experience that they've had there. So Vance is a concern.

He flew out to Vegas at the end of August to address the Republican Jewish coalition. Some have questioned his friendship with Tucker Carlson, who has faced allegations of anti-Semitism. So he's sucking up to the Jewish lobby. He's getting really serious about running for president. He's got to go suck up to the Zionists. The vice president then invited Jewish conservative radio host, said Rosenberg to the White House last week after they missed each other at the Republican Jewish Coalition. event. And then he hosted a Shabbat dinner at the Naval Observatory on Friday ahead of Yom Kippur.

Again, he's got to get those Zionist credentials up. Go kiss the wall. Go throw a prayer into the tomb of this phony Messiah, this rabbi Sherson or something. What a, Sneerson, I think is his name was. Monacham Sneerson. And then Ted Cruz has attacked him for not being sufficiently Zionist, of course. In a secretly recorded donor meeting in 2025, Cruz accused Vance of being a Carlson protégé. Folks, it's not a question anymore that we are a Zionist-occupied government. Why don't we just skip the formalities and let's elect either Netanyahu or Miriam Adelson as president? Let's stop the beard and the pretense, okay? The jostling has left one Fox News, favorite openly toying with Iran.

Louisiana Senator John Kennedy. And he actually wrote a book in 2025 was the bestseller, How to Test Negative for Stupid. Well, I think I know how to test negative for stupid. You don't take the PCR test. And you don't cheer Trump. How about that? That'd be the first test for whether or not you're stupid.

And so he's being very coy about this and indicating that he's thinking of running as well. Vance has been trying to straddle this fence. He puts out rumors that he had doubts about the Iran war, and yet he sucks up to all of the Zionists who are out there. Before we get Gerald Slinty on, though, I want to play something I think is very important to get this information out. It's coming from Michael Yaden.

And if you remember his history, this is a guy who's a Ph.D. He worked for Pfizer. He was a senior vice president in charge of respiratory diseases. So he spotted some big issues with all this pandemic stuff at the very beginning. And Michael Yaden was one of the first people to call this out and to call it out specifically. I think it was very important of what he did. And I really appreciate what he did. And I have a lot of admiration for the guy.

And he has, let me see if I can find this. I don't see this clip here. Let's see. he's got well here's the one I'll play this for you while I'll look for the other clip here this is a pediatrician same one that said

be careful with your kids when you're in the hospital they'll take your baby away and vaccinate them even if you told them that you didn't want the vaccine because if you go into the hospital and sign their paperwork that is part of their standard of care they're just give your kid the vaccine and you can't undo it so let me look for this I'll summarize it if I can't find it

but I'll tell you what Michael Yaden said about ivermectin. It's very important We're losing a million dollars, over a million dollars, in vaccines that were refused. The vaccine-specific income to a pediatric practice, number one is the admin fee. Really, it's just a thank you for giving the shot. And you get about, it depends on the insurance company, every contract. I don't have the clip. But I would average it out to say about $40 for the first antigen and $20 for each subsequent antigen.

So let's just say a two-month well baby visit. There's a DPT, that's three shots, three antigens. Prevnar, Hepbi, Polio, Roto Virus, six shots, eight antigens, about $240. Thank you for giving those shots. Multiply that by the fact that I was getting 30 to 40 newborns per month. They're coming in repeatedly at two months, four months, six months, nine months, 12 months, 15, 18 months, and age two. It's a lot of visits.

And then there's the older kids who need boosters. So we looked at the admin fee loss. And from my practice that was billing at that time about three million. gross, we were losing a million dollars, over a million dollars in vaccines that were refused. Well, again, that's important. I also want to play for you the Michael Yead thing, but I don't have it in the deck today. Somehow we missed that, and I'll play it for you tomorrow. I'll summarize what he had to say, because I want you to hear this. It's probably good for me talking about this more than one day because I don't want people to miss this. You know, there's been a lot of talk,

and I've covered that, and I've passed it along, people saying that Ivermectin has been very, effective in terms of helping people with cancer. Ivermectin, Fembendazole, men bendazole these antiparacidics. The story is that, of course, that the cancer has the same kind of metabolic pathways as these parasites that it targets. So they said there's been a lot of studies that are talked about this, mostly anecdotal things, but I tell you, the anecdotes matter more to me than the studies. However, I want to give you this caveat. And if you got cancer, especially if it's advanced, you don't really care about this particular after effect of Vyvermectin. But Michael Yaden, again, the Pfizer vice president who became a whistleblower early on in this fraud, came out and said,

you've got to be very careful with this. He said it is incredibly powerful in terms of sterilizing. And so that is a side effect that don't really talk to people about. But again, if you're taking it for cancer. Some people will take it as a prophylactic. And you should be careful about taking any kind of chemical like that. You don't really know what the long-term side effects are going to be with it. But he said he's got several studies. I'll let you hear it from him tomorrow when he talks about that. But he's very concerned about the sterilization aspect of it. He even sees it as something that was perhaps deliberately built up. I don't know if that's true or not, but it would fit with the kind of Machiavellian control and propaganda that they put out there.

But it is something to be aware of. Again, it's not a factor. If you've got cancer, you would not care about that. But we're going to take a break, and we're going to get Gerald Sinty on with a Trends Journal. Always great to talk to Gerald, and there's a lot happening right now, of course, in finance as well as in war. And those two things are not disconnected. They are one and the same thing. So we're going to take a quick break.

I'll be right back with Gerald Slenty. Stay with us. All right. Joining us now is Gerald Salenti. And, of course, his publication, Trends Journal. You'll find at Trendsjournal.com. You can also get 10% off with the code night. And it is an extensive publication.

We're talking about some of the topics that he's covered this last week. It comes out every Wednesday. And again, Gerald has seen the trend of where we are going with, lockdowns with vaccines, with the running rough shot over the Constitution, and of course, wars. And began with the Ukraine war, and now Trump is picking up the ball and keeping that going and adding his own wars everywhere as well. So he was just at the UN yesterday, talking about how he stopped the Gaza war. Gerald, it would be funny if it wasn't for all of the horrific consequences of this, but this guy has become something of a parody, hasn't he?

It's disgraceful. Yesterday he said that U.S. envoys met Iran delegation for three hours today, quote, it went very well. Iran's denying that they met at all. Wow. Well, you know, he contradicted himself right there in that statement. He says, it went really well. And then he immediately starts talking about how we're going to have to make sure we don't have any diesel fuel leaving this country. Well, why do you need to do that if the talks are going to?

really well because he says as soon as the war ends, the price of everything is going to just drop immediately. That's another lie, isn't it? Yeah, he also said that he was going to annihilate Iran if they didn't agree what he wanted. I mean, the language that comes out of his mouth,

again, if, I'm going to bomb you into the Stone Age, one after another, if Hitler and Mussolini said these things during World War II, we'd be reading about this in our history books. The language that this guy is spewing out. The draft dodger, by the way, that loves war. We note also in our Trends Journal, he does this stuff about their in negotiations.

We go, here is the most recent line of Trump BS that are helping to rig the equity markets and bring down oil prices. This is a CNBC headline article published on Sunday. Quote, U.S. crude oil tumbles below $100 after Trump says he's open to talking to Iran at UN. They note that Trump told Fox News that it was likely he was meeting the president of Iran at the UN Assembly, and Trump also said he would not ramp up the war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. as a result crude oil prices slumped on Monday falling below $100 a barrel. So he keeps making this stuff up.

And who is it that's using this? Are they just playing the general public as rubs? Are these, I can't believe these people are making these trades are so unsophisticated, not to see this pattern of lies, as you've pointed out. You know, well, at the end of the week, I'm going to annihilate them. And then over the weekend before the markets open up, yeah, we've got a possibility for peace here. and then the markets go up again.

And he's made more trades than all 535 members of Congress combined. And he's just constantly trading and constantly manipulating the market. But are these statements by Trump that everybody knows he's lying? Are they being used by the sophisticated people in the market to take advantage of other people? What do you think? Again, look what happens. You've got to pay like $100,000 to get to his truth social or lie social media. It gives you the information.

what's going to happen here. This is from the Guardian yesterday. Trump made over 1,000 July stock trades worth $270 million. He made more than 440 purchases and 700 sales. Wow. All right? And then, hey, hey, what are you worried about the high price of gasoline? All right? Hey, what I'm doing for you. I'm saving you because, Ron, you know, we could do bomb you into oblivion if we didn't stop you as him and his family are making billions of dollars yep that's what it's about the grifter and chief this there's the facts here you ready the uh the the lies this is from again as trend forecasters we go to all the media we subscribe to how that's the Israeli newspaper we also go to Jerusalem post times of Israel why not uh we want to hear everything that

have to say. We go to press TV. We go to Tehran Times. We go to Tasman. We go to IRNA, ISNA, one hit through Iranians, have to say. We go to Arab news. We go to Al Jazeera. One if the Arabs have to say, DW, Germans, French, English. Anyway, we go all over the world. This is from press TV today. You ready? Iran's president delivered a critique of Western hypocrisy at the United Nations General Assembly, exposing the contradiction of an Israeli regime armed with nuclear weapons and granted total impunity while Iran faces relentless inspections and sanctions. Quote, the atomic bomb and other weapons of mass destruction in the region are in the hands of the Israeli regime. yet inspections are demanded of Iran.

Israel massacred 70,000 people in Gaza, yet Iran was bombed at the negotiation table. Yeah. Again, what you said before about Trump saying, how many people Iran killed, which was a total lie, not a word about the slaughter of the Palestinian, That's right. That's right. And how many, how many Lebanese are being killed almost down? Oh, yeah. That's amazing. How much land, own 1.2 million people driven out of their homes. Don't you say a word about this?

Why, you slimy little walk, you anti-Semite, Israel can kill anybody they want, anywhere they want. And by the way, shove the Zionist crap up your ass. Just to make it clear. I've had enough of this crap. It's a political movement made by some scumbag made by rotten hell, Isaac Herzog. Yeah, I've had it as well. It has nothing to do with religion. It had to do with stealing land.

I agree. Yeah, I've had it as well. And I'm sick and tired of them twisting the Bible, which I hold sacred. I'm sick and tired of these people twisting it, just like we saw with Pete Hegseth this last week. Send me. He goes in, he quotes Isaiah, which is not.

Not about that at all. And he turns that into a call to go send America's youth to go die for Israel. I'm disgusted with these people. And everything they do is about that. I've had it. Yeah. Here, you ready? I've said this before, and I'm going to make this a thousand percent clear.

He who's not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Yeah. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. and if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust

St. Thomas Aquinas. I'm angry at the slaughter of these people stealing our money. Everybody get to work. I want your money so we can send more bombs to Israel and Ukraine to keep these wars going.

So shut the hell up. I'm your president. I'm genocide. You forgot me? Oh, yeah, that scumbag that stole $300 billion of our money to keep the Ukraine war going? Oh, I forgot the other clown.

That was the Secretary of State. Anthony Blinken. I'm a little spoiled rotten boy. I went to Dalton. I went to Harvard. My daddy was the ambassador to home. My uncle was the ambassador of Belgium? Oh, yeah.

I come to Israel as a Jew, he said. That's right. How about coming as a secretary of state? I can give a shit what religion you are. Yeah, I agree. I agree. We've got to take a quick break, and we're going to come right back with Gerald Slinty, and we'll talk about this.

I am sick to death of these people, denigrating the Christian religion, twisting the Bible for their own purposes. We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back, and I've got something here that's kind of unusual that I saw when I printed out the Transjournal area. We talked to Gerald about that. Before we leave the topic we were just talking about, you know, we talk all the time about the money changers.

And you were talking, Gerald, about how if you don't get angry at injustice, then you buy into that, really. And we think of Christ's anger at the money changers. And I so many times we talk about that and we say, well, these people were bankers or whatever. Know what they were doing, really, I think fundamentally, they were using religion to profit from it. And to me, that is the essence of what we see. people like Hegsseth, Huckabee, John Hagee, all these different Zionists are doing. They're using religion and twisting it in order to make money. And I think I know what Christ would do with them.

We saw it in the temple with the money changers. But I wanted to ask you, when I printed this out, I got a little box here from YouTube, and it says, sorry, this content is age restricted. Are they requiring people to be a mental age of eight or something before they can see your content? Why would they do that? Because of the cover of the Trends Journal. It said it's not a K-shaped economy. It's an F-U-C-K-shaped economy.

Okay. That's why they did it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You're not allowed to say that. You're not allowed to grow up. Yeah.

Well, you know. We're getting shadow banned everywhere. Yeah. Everywhere, every place. I agree. It's not about that. They don't do that kind of research. to other content on YouTube.

And, of course, kids can hear that anywhere. I try to keep it out of the program here because we do have kids who do listen to this program with their families. But, you know, I understand that, but that aspect of it. But nevertheless, they're very careful about what they restrict. And I've seen this in the past. The very first thing that got censored at Infowars of anything they got censored on YouTube was a report that I did about the Federal Reserve.

So they got their issues. And they'll always come up with some. pervarication, some excuse as to why they need to take your content down. But we really know what it's truly about, don't we? Yeah. Remember COVID? Mm-hmm. How dare you not swallow the crap coming out of Fauci's mouth?

What's wrong with you? Hey, I'm Gavin Grusome Newsom. A little spoil rotten daddy's boy. I'm locking down California. Hey, I'm little Andy Cuomo. Another little spoiled boy. My daddy was big. Yeah, I'm lock.

down New York, the first two places to see lockdown. Yeah. You come out against the COVID crap. That's right. You're blacklisted on the media. Oh, yeah. On YouTube. Oh, I know about it.

Yeah. Happened to me too. And, of course, I even got blacklisted when this show started on PayPal. And I'm still blacklisted on PayPal. PayPal and Vimmo shut me down. And I know exactly what it was about, but I spent a lot of time trying to work through the issues. But the guy who I worked with there said, I don't know. We just got an order saying, shut this account down immediately. No reason given.

I said, I know the reason. So you got an article here about when war comes home, a constitutional warning. Tell us about that. Well, again, it's the constitution's gone. There's nothing, the president does what he wants. And it's one after another. That's right. From L.B. Jerkoff to Obama, to Bush, Clinton, one after another. Every time Clinton got caught with his pants down, it was bombs away over Baghdad. Yeah, yeah. Well, the thing I think that is, sorry to break in, the thing I think is different about Trump. And I mentioned this earlier, the Libertarian Institute talked about it. They said, well, we expect this kind of stuff from Democrats and Republicans.

We've seen it happening for the longest time. What's different about this term is that they're no longer ashamed of it. No longer even try to care. They're shameless in their corruption, shameless in their lies, shameless in their war. And I think that's really the thing that Trump has brought is the shamelessness. Yep. He's made it clear. By the way, this was the cover of the Trends Journal.

I'll see that. But it says, you know, it's a FU, not a K-shaped economy, as the billionaires and politicians keep stealing our money and getting richer. That's right. Yeah. You ready for this? Yeah. 400 millionaires in America are worth $8 trillion.

Mm. Not a penny for peace. Not one penny for peace of these billionaires. Oh, yeah, because it's so profitable to have war. That's right. And going back to, you know, you were talking before about this guy,

Vance, another little clans. How many times did he change his name? Ad Vance, no Vance, below Vance. How many times? Yeah, I think we need to call him second chance, Vance, because that's what he's pleading for. Yeah, we thought perfectly said. Second, oh, now A.

AOC is thinking her running. Look how low this country is gone. I know. By the way, I knew a guy who knew her when she was a bartender. All right? And he told me a story

about her. I don't want to get into it because they don't want to get blacklisted on it. All right? These are the clowns. Vance Cruz. Look at take, look at that little slime ball piece of scum. Yeah. One piece of crap after another.

Yeah, I agree. I call him the repulsive kids and the democraps. So don't forget to vote. Anyway, this guy... Yeah, it'll change everything on it. Yeah, his president of Iran, his statement goes on. He said that the... Noted that Iran, Israel possesses nuclear weapons,

refuses to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has never permitted a single international inspector into the occupied territories in its entire history. Quote, yet it is rewarded with billions of dollars in free weapons and enjoys absolute immunity to bomb any capital it chooses. Yeah, that's right. And just look at Saudi Arabia, for example. Trump wants to give Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons.

I mean, how do you, these are supposedly the people that they're telling us on the 25th anniversary of 9-11, pulled off 9-11. So let's give them nuclear weapons. Yeah. Now, I don't believe they did 9-11, but I don't want to see them with nuclear weapons. I mean, they're the aggressor as far as when I look at it. They're the aggressor with this Yemen war. Oh, of course they are. Again, go back to that Nobel piece of crap prize winner Obama.

Mm-hmm. sending that, again, that little arrogant piece of scum, Anthony Blinken. He was only undersecretary of state back then, sends him to Saudi Arabia, bragging about how the United States is joining up with Saudi Arabia to get rid of the Houthis out of Yemen. And the United States refueling Saudi jets so they could bomb. the Houthis. Yeah.

Bragging about it. Yeah. Now, what people don't know, again, shove this royal family crap up you, you know what. I'm tired of that word. Oh, the royal family in Saudi Arabia. They invented a joint in 1933, 34.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. And what did they do as soon as they invented a joint? They attacked the Houthis who borders Saudi Arabia. Yeah. Yeah.

I talked about that. They've been after each other over a territorial overboard dispute since the creation of Saudi Arabia for about 100 years. And then they finally got to one point where they had peace for a short period of time. And then Saudi Arabia attacked them, bombed their airports and started it off again. And why did the Houthis do what they did? To overthrow the dictatorship of Yemen that people forgot all about during the Arab Spring. in 2011. Just like in Iran.

We put in a dictator there. And then they, that's the only thing that Americans remember. It's like, oh, well, you threw out the dictator that we put in there. So you're bad guys. Same thing with Yemen. It might be one of the reasons why they understand each other so much. It's like that same thing happened over here. Again, in your Trends Journal this week in the, if I can find it here, the economic update,

we make that very clear about the language that they use about how they lie about this stuff we go Trump also said he would ramp up the war he would not ramp up that the Houthis in Saudi Arabia which meant not bombing the Houthis which CNBC calls militants publishers note we note CnBC is calling Houthis militants because they are prostitutes media wars who get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government whoremasters. Using this idiotic term without reporting who the Houthis are and why they fought against the former Yemeni dictator brainwashes the public to swallow government crap.

Yeah, you're exactly right. Exactly right. They call militants. Yeah. They call Hamas militants. They call Hesbullah militants. Why, those dirty Hezbollah, they threw Israel out of Lebanon. How dare they?

Don't you know that God gave them that land? It's in the good book, chapter six, section eight. Yeah, section eight, the crazy part, yeah. Yeah, that's the way they sell it, isn't it? But when you look at Saudi Arabia, while we're talking about Saudi Arabia, what about that pipeline that goes for hundreds of miles in a straight line, no protection, no way to protect it?

They're not really going to be able to open that up, and they've just notified Europe. You're not going to get any of our oil this winter. What about that? What are the effects that you see of that coming? Oh, again, it's one article after another, New Trends Journal. In the table of contents, the, let me look right here.

Yeah. Well, certainly it's going to accelerate all of what they've been doing in Europe, which is to try to de-industrialize Europe, isn't it? IEA cuts its outlook for global oil supply and demand. It's going down. They can't. EU sees record fuel prices this month with more to come. I guess nobody believes Trump when he says the war is going to end right after the election

and that oil is going to be right back to normal right after the election. I guess nobody believes that. You're right, because here we go. You're ready? This is in your economic update. On Tuesday, UN, today at the UN yesterday, Trump declared that the U.S. declared that this is our language, that despite the U.S. losing the Iran war, he said, quote, our military is the most powerful on earth, and America is back and our country is stronger than

ever before, and our economy is the envy of the world. We go on to write, this is not the way Americans see it or feel it. According to the latest Royder Zipsis poll, Trump's approval rating at 32 percent has slumped to an all-time low. His low is at 47 percent. at the start of the second term in January. As to the American's powerful military, according to CNN SSRS poll released today, yesterday, 64% the respondents said the U.S. is not winning the Iran war. All right?

64%. He's bringing a humiliation to the American Empire, and it really has humiliated the military in front of the world and everybody sees it. But he pretends that they don't. This is really the emperor with no clothes, isn't it? Acted out right here in front of us. Naked tyranny and naked lies.

Well, if you took the clothes off him, he'd have what, a diaper on, right? They'd say he's crapping in his pants. Yeah, that's a picture I don't want to imagine. So, again, before the war, go back, go back to his state of the year. Union address on February 24th, four days before he and Netanyahu launched the illegal war against Iran. He lies that the average price of a gallon of gas in the United States was $2.30 a gallon.

It was $2.92. What is it now? $4.47. Yeah. Diesel fuel before the war? $3.81.81 a gallon. Today, $6.45. Yeah. And of course, California, which is always more expensive because the crazy state rules they put there. I've seen pictures going up as high as $12 a gallon for diesel and $10 a gallon for other grades of gasoline. Of course, that's California. They're a special case. But I think that's all coming. As a matter of fact, you've got a article at Transgeneral. Well, American drivers see rationed motor oil. We're already seeing that.

Will we have rationed gasoline as well? I think we probably will. I mean, we're going right back into the oil embargo, except this is much worse. The amount of oil that has been stopped is far larger. We had the Arab oil embargo. It was only directed at the U.S., and it was only 15% of our supply. This is about 20% of the global supply,

and it affects things like fertilizer. and it's not going to end right away, even if the war were to end, because so much has been destroyed in terms of facilities. No, no, you don't know what you're talking about, because Goldman Sachs, they said that, this is several months ago, anticipates golf exports will return to pre-war levels by late July, all right? Well, you know, Bank of America just came out. Yeah, they said, Brent Crude, Goldman-Crued, Goldman-Sack.

Lotus Brick to $80 a barrel. It's now over $100 a barrel. Yeah. And Bank of America. Don't believe our trend forecast. Go to Goldman Sachs. That's right. Bank of America is now saying 150 is coming.

And everybody was laughing when Iran said, you're going to see $120 barrel oil because of this shutdown, straight of Hormuz. Now they're saying 150. Certainly, when we look at this, there is no end in sight. Trump is not, doesn't regret any of this. No.

He really doesn't care. And he doesn't care that you don't, he doesn't even try to make an explanation for it other than, oh, they can't have nuclear weapons. It's like they didn't have them anyway. According to you, you blew up their facilities. Yeah. And again, what the Iran president said, how come you're not inspecting what Israel is doing? That's right.

That's right. They have between 90 to 400 nuclear warheads. That's right. And why are you going to give them to the second? You know, they got people's heads off. They chop up the journalists that they don't like. I guess that endeared them to Trump, right? Yeah.

No, this is serious what's going on. And by the way, get ready for the dot-com bust. This thing is way overvalued. Again, Trump BS at the speech yesterday at the United Nations. He claimed that the U.S. quote, technology is second to none. We are leading in virtually everything. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Again, we go on to say that while the U.S. is the leader in some levels of technology, China is leading the world in 5G, electric vehicles, e-commerce, and large-scale AI development. Taiwan is the leader in advanced semiconductor in manufacturing, and South Korea is the world's highest R&D spenders and leaders in electronic. and semiconductors. So total trump BS. Yeah.

So China is going to lead the world in AI. The business of China's business, the business of America's war. The 20th century is the American century. The 21st century is going to be the Chinese century. I agree. Yeah. And it's going to be a century of a police state and surveillance

and a boot stomping on your face forever because that really is the use case for artificial intelligence here in America. America. You've got the government who wants it because they can control and audit everybody. I just had a report before you came on about how one jurisdiction is using cameras on garbage trucks to come up with code violations on people's houses as they drive by them. I mean, it's going to be total surveillance about everything. Nothing will be too petty for them to come after you and to attack you for. And we see as this is happening, we had, I don't know if you saw it, Cash Patel,

talking about the fact that they'd used artificial intelligence to stop a school shooting. I say, prove it. I talked about how Judge Napolitano did that a great op-ed piece years ago. We were talking about how the FBI creates these phony situations or like a fireman who sets a house on fire so he can be the hero who puts it out. And then we've got the FAA, which is rapidly moving towards putting artificial intelligence in charge of air traffic control. And again, it's going to go back to makes me think of that Bruce Willis movie or those little kiddies that I see dead people everywhere. That's what I see when I see AI putting in there because they're going to be hallucinating.

They're going to see ghost planes where there aren't any. They're going to be seeing not seeing the planes where they are there. And I think a lot of people are going to get killed from this. And then there's a military using AI for targeting. And they're going to turn over fire control to the AI pretty soon as well. I talked about a year ago, Gerald, to a guy. His name is Paul Charray. He wrote a book, Four Battlefields.

And he's talking about how we've got to do all this because China is doing it. But I wanted to talk to him about the state of the military using AI. And he said, yeah, we're going to have to give fire control to it because that's going to be key to it being successful. It's going to have to be able to move very rapidly. And you can't sew it down by putting humans in the loop. and I said, well, how do you stop it? He goes, that's the problem. We don't know how we get control back.

It's very much like our own government, isn't it? How do we get control back? Again, love it, hate it, want it, don't want it. AI is the future. Yeah. And we are of the horse and buggy age compared to young people in the high-tech AI world.

It's a whole different world for them. Again, when they lock down America and the world and young kids were forced to stay in their home, Gen Z's, they became totally, more and more of them became more and more addicted to this stuff. Oh, I agree. I agree. And that's their, you look at the numbers. They're not hardly dating anymore. It's a whole different world.

Yeah. And Yuval Harari has talked about that. He says, yes, we're going to control them. We're going to keep them online. We're going to keep them distracted. We're going to keep them dumbed down. We're going to keep them playing games. maybe we've even thrown some drugs, right?

That is a deliberate plan to keep people control. Quite frankly, I prefer horse and buggy. I'm turning more and more into a horse and buggy guy. I'm telling you, that's with the age. Again, going back to this AI, trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die. The AI trend has just been born. You and I are old enough to remember

when the Internet Revolution began in the early 1990s. When you had to put a disc in your computer to get the thing going, and you couldn't see people moving, they'd move like this. That's right. That's where we are with AI.

It's an infant. It was only born to the public in 2022. It's four years old. The thing I see dangerous about, what do you think about all of this, fear porn that is coming out. I see it as fear porn coming out of the big AI companies. Is that just a move by them to make sure, because we've had them go before Congress and say, this is too dangerous for anybody else to have? Is it just another move for them to set up themselves as a

cartel, as an oligarchy with this technology, make sure that they put obstructions to competitors there? That's the way I see it. Again, you just saw it happen to me, getting blacklisted on YouTube, yeah. All right? No, I'm telling you, this trend is, it's just been born. Oh, the flock, they think, with the cameras everywhere?

I mean, this is just the beginning. They'll know everything you did. Again, you talked about Judge Napolitano. I just did an interview with him today. He'll be up at 6 p.m. tonight, Eastern Time, and talking about how we're losing all our rights and on and on and on. And he's been talking about how they're robbing us of our freedom and are going to know everything that we're doing, when we're doing it,

and how we're doing it. And there's going to be total government control. And the young people, they don't have the fight in them. It's gone. That's right. And the old people don't either. And you're like what Trump is doing. He's taking a real problem, a problem that was created by government,

a problem that he didn't do anything about in his first four years, the border issue. and he has turned it into an excuse, and Republicans are doing this as well, an excuse for digital ID, an excuse for a national police force that has absolutely no rules. I mean, they just shot a guy in the back in Austin and then drug him into detention, had him sleeping on the floor, and gave him no medical attention, still got the bullet in him. I mean, this is the kind of police force the national police are looking at, and he's using this all as an excuse to ramp this up.

I'm telling you we are in the most dangerous times of our lifetime. Ice. Yeah. What a nice word. Yeah, cold is ice. How about the electric gloves they now have? All right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. How about wearing masks and all the armaments? Hile Hitler. Mm-hmm. You'd something like this would go on you. You would never expect this to happen in America. Yeah, you, they tell us our country is rotting in front of our eyes. I agree.

They tell us we can't object to cameras in public. And yet they object to them. I mean, if you take a picture of these guys wearing a mask, they'll ram their car into you and worse, you know, to drag you out of it and beat you and kill you. Yeah. It's amazing. The hypocrisy, we talk about hypocrisy.

It's all over the place with that, isn't it? Yeah, again, we need a third party in this country. We need it. We got to get rid of the crime syndicate. I agree. Again, from genocide Joe to Trump, bombs away, Bill Clinton, Bush, one after another, one lying piece of scum after another. L.B. Jerkoff gave us the Vietnam War.

One lying piece of crap. And again, in the Constitution that we talked about today with the judge, Congress is the one that's supposed to declare war. Oh, yeah. They haven't done it since World War II. That's right. Every war the president has started and no outrage against it. Everything is done in the name of national security.

That all started with Truman. He created the NSA with an executive order. They created the CIA. Everything is justified to keep it secret with national security. And they always abbreviate it in AT SEC and said, really it stands for national secrets. They want to keep secret, the secret wars that are doing the secret drug dealing that they're doing, all these different crimes, the embezzlement out of the Pentagon that they covered up with 9-11. They want to keep all that stuff secret.

And that's really what it's about. And it's not about our safety. It's not about our security. And it's about a constant state of war. There's no security in a constant state of war. It's a total lie. Again, you mentioned Truman. What was a little clown?

What did he'd have a dress shop before he became? There's something that's a little nothing. Right? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. A little nothing. Again, look who's running for president.

Yeah. AOC, Vance. One stupid piece of jerk. after another. Well, Vance has qualified, Gerald, because he went to the Republican Jewish conference. He invited some Jews who were not there. He invited them to a Shabbat dinner for Yom Kippur, and he's making all the overtures out there to him. Yeah. Heartbreaking. So anyway, what we're forecasting is get ready for dragflation, declining economic growth and rising inflation. By the way, you're looking at treasury yields are way back up again.

The mortgage rates now are above 7%. I'll go back to Trump's speech before he started the war on February 24th. He bragged that he brought down mortgage rates. Yeah. And now there are over 7%. His big idea was a 50-year mortgage loan, right? Yeah.

Somebody put up a joke and said, yeah, He's got another one for us to help us with a fuel expense. We'll get a 50-year loan for filling up your tank. No, Pete, this is, I'm telling you, this is serious. Oh, it is. And it's global. The whole world is paying the price for this illegal war. I agree.

I agree. Yeah, it is crazy what one person can do in terms of destruction when you give them absolute power. And that's the problem. It's why the entire Republican Party has just laid down and done nothing. I call Mike Johnson the duck and cover speaker. He covers for Trump and he ducks all responsibility. And he's going to be a lame duck, I think.

And again, look at that little clown boy. Look at that little boy of nothing. A little piece of nothing. Yeah. One after another, a freak show in front of everybody's eyes. Yeah, it's absolutely right. Again, look at that guy, McConnell. What's that guy?

the senator from uh... Mitch? Yeah. Mitch McConnell. Did he know wheelchair like this going into office? Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's just, uh...

Oh, he's making it. And he's, he's in charge. Yeah. Yeah, they had to tell him how to vote the other day. So, um, somebody was joking the fact that he only perked up when he heard that they were going

to have a bill that we're going to force all the cars to have AM radios. Now I understand that. He understands AM, but I don't know if he knows anything about AI. But again, look at that in front of your eyes. One after another. It's a freak show and the freaks are running the show. That's right.

Well, I'm glad that Trump has ended the war so many times. I'm glad that we have peace in Gaza and in so many other places. As a matter of fact, a couple of weeks got played a clip where a guy went to a Trump rally and he asked the people there. He said, so Trump says he's had ended eight wars. Can you name one of those? And they're like, oh, I can't. Pass the micro or somebody else. They can't name them.

Then he brings out a map of Iran, he says, of the Middle East, and he says, can you find Iran on the map? They don't have any clue about that either. No. That's really where we are, I guess. I know. It truly is an idiocracy. Yep. Yeah, again, you know, Trump makes one lie up after another,

and he keeps getting away with it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And it's all just a small price to pay for he and his Zionist masters and the amount of money that they are making. And what do you think about Scott Besson? I always, I look at this guy. First thing I see is a sort, well, we're out of time here.

But I'm sure you don't have much of respect for Scott Besson either. But he's going to be, Gerald, he's going to be our A.I. Tsar. How about that? Why do we have czars in America? That's a question for another day, I think. I think that's about as anti-American as you can get to have a czar. But I think we crossed the Rubicon a long time ago. And that's really what a czar is.

It is Caesar. Thank you for joining us. again, Gerald Slynti, Trendsjournal.com. Use the code night to save 10%. Thank you, Gerald. Thank you. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children.

They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.

They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
