[01:21.840 --> 01:37.680]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
[01:44.240 --> 01:50.240]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 18th of February, year of our Lord 2026.
[01:51.120 --> 01:57.200]  Well, government everywhere is quickly cancelling privacy. As they take us into the surveillance
[01:57.200 --> 02:01.520]  state, we can see it at the EU, we can see it, of course, in the federal government, but it is state
[02:01.520 --> 02:06.720]  governments now that have come up with some of the worst, most absurd regulations to protect
[02:06.720 --> 02:12.160]  children, supposedly. Folks, we can at least fight it there if we know what it is. We're going to
[02:12.160 --> 02:17.440]  talk about that today. A new report shows just how huge the welfare magnet is for immigrants
[02:18.080 --> 02:24.160]  and how effective the cloud pivots strategy has been. And then we're going to take a look at what
[02:24.160 --> 02:32.000]  the Pentagon's fight with Anthropic, the company behind Clawed AI, what that fight from the Pentagon,
[02:32.000 --> 02:38.320]  what they really want, shows us the frightening plans the Pentagon has for war with America.
[02:39.040 --> 02:45.760]  It's not just Palantir. Palantir is central to it, but this is the federal government at war with
[02:45.760 --> 02:50.480]  you. And we're going to take a look at the quote-unquote list the Department of Justice
[02:50.480 --> 02:56.640]  put out the names. It's got everybody from Elvis to Alex Jones named in the Epstein file. What is
[02:56.640 --> 03:12.480]  behind that trick? We'll be right back. Well, an Arizona bill would require ID checks in order
[03:12.480 --> 03:18.160]  to even use a weather app. Yeah, that's right. Even apps that have come pre-installed on your
[03:18.160 --> 03:23.840]  phone. The bill would require parental permission or identity checks to open the calculator app
[03:23.840 --> 03:31.120]  that came with your photos. Your phone, rather, not your photos as well. This is all being done
[03:31.120 --> 03:37.520]  in the name of protecting children. And they would classify everybody into four different age groups,
[03:37.520 --> 03:44.480]  adults, and then three minor age groups. And even if a minor update to the terms of services
[03:44.480 --> 03:49.120]  or something like that is included, you'd have to go through the whole authorization process yet
[03:49.120 --> 03:54.160]  again. Let me tell you, this is not about protecting kids as we've seen over and over again.
[03:54.880 --> 03:59.920]  This is about having an excuse, a pretense, to make sure that nobody can use the internet
[03:59.920 --> 04:06.880]  without an ID. And it is another pretext for the surveillance state. The surveillance state has to
[04:06.880 --> 04:12.400]  cancel privacy. I mean, just look at what they do with their masks, the ICE agents with their masks.
[04:12.960 --> 04:18.880]  It's absurd. What have they got to hide? Well, everything, I guess, apparently. It would create
[04:18.880 --> 04:26.320]  a surveillance architecture that applies to every mobile device user in the state of Arizona.
[04:27.040 --> 04:32.160]  App store providers would be required to verify every single account holder's age category and
[04:32.160 --> 04:38.240]  share that data with developers. We got to know. This is coming out of Arizona, but there's a lot
[04:38.240 --> 04:44.720]  of states that have done this. Texas has. Texas is on the first ones. Now, so far, that has been
[04:44.720 --> 04:50.480]  blocked in courts, and it should be blocked, and divides users into four age categories,
[04:50.480 --> 04:56.640]  children under 13, those between 13 and 16, those between 16 and 18, and then adults.
[04:57.600 --> 05:02.320]  Everybody would be put in one of these four buckets, and the Arizona Attorney General would
[05:02.320 --> 05:09.920]  be tasked with creating rules to establish acceptable verification procedures. So once you
[05:09.920 --> 05:16.400]  establish this, once you start creating a mechanism for tracking and a permission
[05:16.400 --> 05:23.680]  system for using the internet, it'll apply to politics. It'll apply to religion. There's no end
[05:23.680 --> 05:29.920]  of it. So they say for anyone under 18, the bill mandates that their account be affiliated
[05:30.560 --> 05:35.040]  with a parental account. We got to make sure the parents know what's going on.
[05:36.400 --> 05:40.800]  Well, if they're under 18, most likely the parents are paying for the phone
[05:41.680 --> 05:47.360]  and paying the monthly bill. Kids don't have a job to do that. So, of course, they already know about
[05:47.360 --> 05:52.000]  that. The law doesn't specify how the parent-child account affiliation would actually be verified.
[05:52.880 --> 05:58.640]  Maybe they could ask the company that they pay the bill to. It's absurd what is happening with
[05:58.640 --> 06:04.400]  this. But developers would be required to notify app stores of any significant change. App stores
[06:04.400 --> 06:09.200]  would then be required to notify parent accounts and obtain renewed consent. The burden will fall
[06:09.200 --> 06:18.960]  on both of those parties with civil penalties of up to $75,000 per violation. And, of course,
[06:18.960 --> 06:25.920]  it would allow parents and children to sue them. Arizona joins a growing list of states pursuing
[06:25.920 --> 06:32.320]  app store age verification. Texas, Utah, Louisiana, California have all passed versions of these laws.
[06:33.200 --> 06:39.280]  The Texas law faces an appeal after having been stopped in court. Utah and Louisiana are scheduled
[06:39.280 --> 06:44.640]  to take effect later this year, and California's version arrives in 2027. So we've seen this
[06:44.640 --> 06:49.600]  happening over and over again in the EU. They have to know everything that we are doing.
[06:52.800 --> 06:56.800]  We expect this from the federal government. We expect it from the EU. But this is something
[06:56.800 --> 07:01.920]  that is happening at the state level. And really, at the state level, we have the ability to do
[07:01.920 --> 07:09.280]  something about this. That's where you need to get involved. So, hang on just one second,
[07:09.280 --> 07:18.480]  having an issue here with this, trying to get to my next article. But I had another one that
[07:18.480 --> 07:26.720]  I wanted to talk about here, but here we go. It seems to have revived. This is, well, evidently
[07:26.720 --> 07:31.760]  not. I'm going to try to take care of this thing, and we're going to take a quick break, folks. I
[07:31.760 --> 07:35.920]  mean, really quick break. And we will be right back. Stay with us.
[08:01.760 --> 08:25.920]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[10:02.160 --> 10:04.560]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[10:06.160 --> 10:10.560]  All right, we're back. And again, these can't live with these, without these things, and
[10:11.360 --> 10:16.560]  I can't live with them. And sometimes as well, this is the thing that we had the issue with
[10:16.560 --> 10:22.080]  last week. I actually like this, but it does have its issues from time to time. This is the quote
[10:22.080 --> 10:27.360]  that I was looking for. That couldn't pull up. A federal judge blocked the Texas law before it could
[10:27.360 --> 10:34.400]  take effect. U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman said the law is akin to a law that would require
[10:34.400 --> 10:39.840]  every bookstore to verify the age of every customer at the door, and for minors to require
[10:39.840 --> 10:46.080]  parental consent before the child or teen could enter, and require parental consent again before
[10:46.080 --> 10:51.520]  they could buy a book. This is the absurdity of it, but it's even worse than this, and this
[10:51.520 --> 10:57.120]  article does not mention it. I looked up, I thought, well, is Arizona a state that requires
[10:58.320 --> 11:04.960]  parental consent before they change a child's gender, or before they start gaslighting them
[11:04.960 --> 11:11.600]  over pronouns in school? No. As a matter of fact, there's less control over what happens to your
[11:11.600 --> 11:17.920]  child in an Arizona public school than there is what happens on your cell phone in Arizona,
[11:17.920 --> 11:25.200]  even with this law. Of course, in Arizona, they have no parental consent required for changing
[11:25.200 --> 11:29.680]  pronouns. They have a law that says, well, we really suggest that you tell the parents,
[11:29.680 --> 11:32.800]  but it's not a requirement that they tell the parents if they're gaslighting a child,
[11:32.800 --> 11:38.800]  and the child now thinks they're a different sex. So there's no requirement at all for that,
[11:38.800 --> 11:43.040]  but look at all these stringent requirements. Let me just tell you, we all know this is not
[11:43.040 --> 11:47.600]  about protecting kids. There's many ways that you can protect kids, and of course, parents are the
[11:47.600 --> 11:54.480]  key to doing that. But if they were concerned about protecting kids from perversion or sexual
[11:54.480 --> 12:00.640]  content or whatever, you can imagine, they would do something about this gender mutilation and gas
[12:00.640 --> 12:07.680]  lighting that's going on in their own institutions. They're not. They're not. But again,
[12:09.040 --> 12:14.800]  Texas law is on hold. Utah, Louisiana and California, Utah and Louisiana coming up this
[12:14.800 --> 12:20.640]  year, California coming up next year. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're
[12:20.640 --> 12:26.800]  doing for just one minute, and I want you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community
[12:26.800 --> 12:33.600]  with very few resources and little to no health care. So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents
[12:33.600 --> 12:40.080]  have no real options, no doctors in their community, and no money for real medical care.
[12:40.640 --> 12:46.160]  By the third day, her body was shutting down. She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[12:46.800 --> 12:54.720]  I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried
[12:54.720 --> 13:01.440]  everything, but she needed a private hospital, and that was impossible for her family to afford.
[13:01.440 --> 13:08.480]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in. Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated,
[13:08.480 --> 13:14.880]  and against all odds, she survived. She lived because someone just like you took action.
[13:15.600 --> 13:21.440]  Right now, unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone
[13:21.440 --> 13:28.000]  like you steps in. Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children
[13:28.000 --> 13:35.120]  with the support that they need, critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the
[13:35.120 --> 13:44.400]  gospel. All in Jesus' name. So help a child just like Alejandra today. You can visit Compassion.com.

[14:17.680 --> 14:23.920]  Meanwhile, you have in the EU, you have Macron, Fred Mertz, and Ursula, who's fond of lying.
[14:25.200 --> 14:32.480]  They want expanded speech controls. Of course they do. We have to be sure that there is one single
[14:32.480 --> 14:39.680]  person with one account, said Macron. And if this is an AI system, if this is a bot, or if it's
[14:39.680 --> 14:45.920]  organized by a big organization, that should be forbidden. Well, fine. Then regulate the artificial
[14:45.920 --> 14:51.120]  intelligence. Regulate the corporations. Don't regulate the people. If you're concerned about
[14:51.120 --> 14:57.040]  AI masquerading at something else, because you know how dangerous that is because you do it all
[14:57.040 --> 15:01.840]  the time. You governments do it. And so you know how dangerous that is. Well, you could very
[15:01.840 --> 15:07.600]  easily require ID from the artificial intelligence, for example. So you're going
[15:07.600 --> 15:12.240]  to identify yourself preemptively or we'll do something about it once we find out that
[15:12.240 --> 15:17.840]  you're not doing it. Instead, they come after humans and they use that as an excuse. It's a
[15:17.840 --> 15:23.200]  system where every social media user would have their identity verified by platforms and tied to
[15:23.200 --> 15:30.880]  a single permitted account. Anonymous speech, pseudo anonymous commentary, the ability to maintain
[15:30.880 --> 15:36.000]  separate personal and professional presences online would all effectively end. And of course,
[15:36.000 --> 15:45.040]  they're coming after VPNs as well, virtual privacy networks. The governments want a powerful tool to
[15:45.040 --> 15:54.000]  identify, track, and silence anybody whose speech they object to. And we see so many aspects of
[15:54.000 --> 16:02.960]  this. The West has descended, folks, into tyranny. It is pervasive in the leadership of every party
[16:02.960 --> 16:09.440]  in every country. If you didn't see it in 2020, you can still see it in this. None of them
[16:10.000 --> 16:16.640]  respect our individual liberties. None of them. Not the US, certainly, and not the EU, of course,
[16:16.640 --> 16:25.040]  obviously. They all aspire to tyranny and they're open about it as well. And so the question is,
[16:25.040 --> 16:30.560]  what do we do about this? Macron defended this by characterizing free expression online as a form
[16:30.560 --> 16:38.560]  of brainwashing. So when you brainwash and gaslight a kid about what sex they are, that's okay.
[16:38.560 --> 16:42.720]  Just don't do it online because we don't want people passing information back and forth
[16:43.360 --> 16:48.800]  about narratives that we're lying to them about. About climate change, about the vaccines,
[16:48.800 --> 16:54.400]  about the pandemics, about what they're doing actually with each other. Macron invoked the
[16:54.400 --> 16:58.880]  Digital Services Act as a foundation for expanded censorship across Europe. He said,
[16:58.880 --> 17:03.280]  this is a very important regulation because it is the first time that we've created a framework
[17:03.840 --> 17:08.640]  to regulate the internet. And of course, they're not going to regulate it in any way
[17:09.280 --> 17:16.880]  that is reasonable. They simply want to regulate it to shut up dissent and to punish dissenters
[17:16.880 --> 17:23.200]  and protesters. He offered a familiar list of speech categories that he wants to suppress.
[17:23.200 --> 17:29.600]  Of course, the first one is going to be racist speech. That's the first refuge of these
[17:29.600 --> 17:38.160]  scoundrels. Then hateful speech, then anti-Semitic speech. Yeah, don't criticize Benjamin Netanyahu.
[17:39.600 --> 17:45.680]  Because, you know, that minority government of Israel represents all Jews. And, you know,
[17:45.680 --> 17:51.520]  there's a lot of Jews who don't like that idea. Just like I would not be represented
[17:51.520 --> 17:56.560]  by the Trump administration. They don't want to be represented by the Netanyahu administration.
[17:56.560 --> 18:01.520]  They disagree with their policies. These terms have no fixed legal definition that applies
[18:01.520 --> 18:06.720]  uniformly across the EU member states. You know, what is hate speech? What is racism?
[18:07.360 --> 18:12.720]  By the way, what is anti-Semitism? If you even ask that question, as Kerry Prejean Baller found
[18:12.720 --> 18:19.040]  out, you get kicked off of the Religious Liberty Commission. What a joke. Set up by Trump.
[18:20.560 --> 18:27.760]  German Chancellor Fred Merz. He's got some splaining to do, Lucy. A divide has opened
[18:27.760 --> 18:33.680]  up between Europe and the United States, he said. JD Vance said this openly here at the
[18:33.680 --> 18:39.200]  Munich Security Conference a year ago. And he was right. The battle of cultures,
[18:39.200 --> 18:45.840]  of MAGA in the U.S., is not ours. Freedom of speech here ends where the words spoken
[18:45.840 --> 18:49.760]  are directed against the government. Oh, no, he said human dignity, he means, right?
[18:51.520 --> 18:59.280]  And basic law, he said. So we have laws about what you can say. And your right to free speech
[18:59.280 --> 19:06.480]  ends where we say it ends. And we call that human dignity. What cynical liars they are.
[19:07.120 --> 19:11.040]  You know, that's one of the key things of B.F. Skinner, because this is all really
[19:11.680 --> 19:16.960]  about behavioral psychology. And he's really kind of the, I don't know if the father of behavioral
[19:16.960 --> 19:21.280]  psychology, but he certainly advanced at a great deal. And his book was called Beyond Freedom
[19:21.280 --> 19:27.360]  and Dignity. And that's where these people are. And yet, that is the German cynical way
[19:28.320 --> 19:34.880]  of describing it. Human dignity is the phrase that the German governments have used to justify
[19:34.880 --> 19:40.960]  prosecuting speech. They prosecute speech in the name of human dignity. Imagine that.
[19:42.000 --> 19:49.360]  They've interpreted it to cover anything from insults to Holocaust denier. So Israel always
[19:49.360 --> 19:53.600]  is at the forefront of this censorship, if you notice this, right? And so the question is,
[19:53.600 --> 19:59.200]  why are they desperately pushing this? Well, I've seen that whenever somebody is desperately
[19:59.760 --> 20:03.600]  trying to hide something, it's because they're lying to you about it. Have you noticed that?
[20:04.320 --> 20:08.560]  They lie to you about the pandemic. They lie to you about the vaccine. They lie to you about
[20:08.560 --> 20:13.600]  climate change. They lie to you about the wars. They lie to you about what they're going to do.
[20:13.600 --> 20:22.800]  Everything that they want to censor is something that exposes those lies. So European Commission
[20:22.800 --> 20:30.320]  President Ursula von der Leyen joined the censorship chorus at the Munich Security Conference.
[20:31.200 --> 20:38.160]  It's their security, not your security, just like national security has nothing to do with the safety
[20:38.960 --> 20:44.960]  and the freedom and the security of Americans. It has everything to do with the security of
[20:44.960 --> 20:51.600]  the government and its continuity of governance. Staying in their jobs, staying in office,
[20:51.600 --> 20:56.960]  staying in power, staying in control. It has nothing to do with our safety, nothing to do
[20:56.960 --> 21:02.640]  with our security. A fond of lying described European speech regulation is under attack
[21:02.640 --> 21:08.080]  from the US. Said they have wielded the threats of tariffs on partners to secure preferential
[21:08.080 --> 21:14.800]  access and decried the EU's digital rules as an assault on free speech. Well, because they are.
[21:15.760 --> 21:22.160]  It's unfortunate that the Trump administration, while decrying the censorship of the EU,
[21:23.040 --> 21:29.440]  is busy doing the same thing here, except in a more hidden and devious way. The EU's digital
[21:29.440 --> 21:34.800]  rules are an assault on free speech. The DSA empowers bureaucrats to demand platforms remove
[21:34.800 --> 21:41.600]  content under threat of massive fines. She claimed that Europe has a long tradition of freedom of
[21:41.680 --> 21:48.160]  speech, and she's telling the truth about that. What she doesn't say is that Ursula Fond of Lying
[21:49.040 --> 21:56.080]  and Fred Mertz and Emmanuel Macron, the rest of these EU leaders, after Europe has got a long
[21:56.080 --> 22:03.440]  tradition of free speech, their mission is to end that tradition, to destroy that, and to do it in
[22:03.440 --> 22:10.240]  the name of dignity and democracy. What cynical liars they are. The leaders who gathered in Munich
[22:10.240 --> 22:14.880]  rights reclaimed the net, spoke of protecting democracy while proposing tools that would let
[22:14.880 --> 22:20.960]  governments identify and punish dissent. They invoked free speech while demanding the power
[22:20.960 --> 22:27.360]  to decide what speech is free. They claim to defend Europe while stripping Europeans of the
[22:27.360 --> 22:34.400]  ability to speak freely online. And they have openly declared their intention to do so for quite
[22:34.400 --> 22:35.040]  some time.
[23:04.560 --> 23:11.040]  misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies.
[23:21.680 --> 23:26.720]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
[23:27.600 --> 23:29.920]  You are listening to the David Knight Show.
[23:34.480 --> 23:40.080]  Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant, an additional warrant
[23:40.080 --> 23:41.440]  to go and apprehend people who we-
[23:41.440 --> 23:44.240]  That's what you always needed. You're a lawyer. Come on.
[23:44.240 --> 23:48.880]  We don't have enough judges. We don't have enough time. It would take decades probably to do that.
[23:49.760 --> 23:55.520]  The people who are advocating for that don't want any immigration enforcement. They do not-
[23:56.480 --> 24:00.800]  Yeah. Well, you don't want it either because you just decided that you're going to basically
[24:00.800 --> 24:03.840]  double the amount of money that's given to people like the Somalians who come in here
[24:03.840 --> 24:08.480]  on the refugee program. Six billion dollars. Well, you're going to jump it by another five
[24:08.480 --> 24:14.480]  billion, right? It's the welfare magnet, stupid. And of course they create the problem and then
[24:14.480 --> 24:21.200]  they use the created problem to argue that we need to throw out the constitution due process,
[24:21.200 --> 24:22.160]  the bill of rights.
[24:23.040 --> 24:28.160]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of
[24:28.160 --> 24:34.320]  compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing
[24:34.320 --> 24:40.960]  organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[24:40.960 --> 24:47.840]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as
[24:47.840 --> 24:53.920]  well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[24:53.920 --> 25:00.000]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education she
[25:00.000 --> 25:06.720]  needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[25:06.720 --> 25:13.360]  of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[25:13.360 --> 25:20.800]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally
[25:20.800 --> 25:27.200]  a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[26:07.600 --> 26:15.200]  than 4,400 times in just the last five months. Judges across the country have ruled the more
[26:15.200 --> 26:21.520]  than 4,400 times since the start of October that the US government has illegally detained
[26:21.520 --> 26:27.280]  immigrants according to Reuters investigations published on Saturday. Now I know I've gotten a
[26:27.280 --> 26:32.000]  lot of people who've contacted me and said these rights are not for illegal aliens that are here.
[26:32.800 --> 26:36.640]  Now we have due process for people that we know committed crimes, don't we?
[26:36.640 --> 26:40.080]  You see somebody, you got a video of somebody committing a murder.
[26:41.040 --> 26:45.680]  They still get due process. Why do we do that? Why don't we just take them out and shoot them?
[26:46.320 --> 26:48.640]  Which the Trump administration and Stephen Miller would love to do.
[26:49.440 --> 26:53.280]  To anybody. Forget about the due process. We suspect you're a drug dealer. So let's just
[26:53.280 --> 27:00.560]  shoot you on the street like Robert Duterte, the leader of the Philippines. Extra judicial
[27:00.560 --> 27:04.400]  killings. They're all for that. Trump cheered that on the streets of the Philippines.
[27:04.960 --> 27:10.000]  He's cheered it and the water is off of Venezuela. They don't care about due process.
[27:10.000 --> 27:13.760]  They don't care about making sure they got the right person before they even execute people.
[27:14.560 --> 27:19.840]  So of course they have contempt for due process in terms of arrest. Now let me just say this.
[27:20.400 --> 27:24.320]  There's nothing in the Bill of Rights, there's nothing in the Declaration of Independence
[27:25.200 --> 27:30.160]  that says that we have these rights because we are American citizens. If that were the case,
[27:31.120 --> 27:36.160]  that would change your God-given rights into government-granted privileges. You need to
[27:36.160 --> 27:41.120]  understand that. All you people who are out there, good, good, do all this stuff. These people are
[27:41.120 --> 27:46.640]  illegally. Yeah, they've committed a crime. Let's make sure the punishment is proportional to it.
[27:46.640 --> 27:53.440]  That is not excessive. Let's make sure that it's not unusual. And let's go through due process.
[27:53.440 --> 27:58.800]  Because if you let them use cruel, unusual, and excessive punishment, if you let them skip due
[27:58.800 --> 28:05.440]  process on your fellow human beings that are out there, who maybe probably are guilty, obviously
[28:05.440 --> 28:12.800]  guilty of committing a crime. So have a process for handling this and send them back to where
[28:12.800 --> 28:17.520]  they came from. Most importantly, you can stop handing them out money. But Mike Johnson is at
[28:17.520 --> 28:23.840]  the head of the list shoveling out money to people that he claims are so bad they shouldn't have any
[28:23.840 --> 28:33.120]  due process. Cynical, again, what they are doing. And so just be careful because the government
[28:34.000 --> 28:39.360]  that ignores the humanity of people who have committed crimes, even if they've committed
[28:39.360 --> 28:44.960]  crimes, you don't ignore their humanity. That's why the Bill of Rights exists. If you let them
[28:44.960 --> 28:50.320]  get away with that with other people, they will do that to you. They'll do that to your children,
[28:50.320 --> 28:57.680]  to your family. They'll do that to Americans. So again, the number of people on ICE custody has
[28:57.680 --> 29:06.160]  ballooned to 68,000 this month, 75% higher than when Trump took office. Midway through 2025,
[29:06.160 --> 29:12.640]  the administration began pushing for daily quotas of 3,000 arrests per day, with a goal of reaching
[29:12.640 --> 29:18.560]  a million per year. This has led to the targeting of mostly people with no criminal records rather
[29:18.560 --> 29:25.040]  than the supposedly worst of the worst that they keep saying. This has also resulted in a staggering
[29:25.040 --> 29:30.880]  number of arrests that judges have found later to be illegal. And it's another reason why when
[29:30.880 --> 29:36.000]  somebody is going through the process of, you know, getting their green card or applying for
[29:36.000 --> 29:39.520]  American citizenship or something, they go in and they arrest the people in the courtrooms.
[29:40.160 --> 29:44.560]  Well, that's low-hanging fruit. That's like, hey, look, I got my quota in this month.
[29:44.560 --> 29:49.600]  We ought to be disgusted about that. You know, it's like the speed trap in a town or something.
[29:50.640 --> 29:58.640]  It's not anything that helps us. This is a cynical abuse of power by law enforcement,
[29:58.640 --> 30:04.560]  quote unquote. Since the beginning of the Trump term, immigrants have filed more than 20,200
[30:04.560 --> 30:09.760]  habeas corpus petitions, claiming that they were held indefinitely without trial in violation of
[30:09.760 --> 30:18.000]  the Constitution. In at least 4,421 cases, listen to this, more than 400 federal judges.
[30:18.000 --> 30:22.400]  I can't tell you the number of times that every time something like this happens and a federal
[30:22.400 --> 30:28.880]  judge slaps down these authoritarian, illegal, unconstitutional policies, every time that happens,
[30:29.680 --> 30:37.120]  you see the Trump cult say, oh, that's just a Democrat judge or something. 400 federal judges
[30:37.840 --> 30:45.280]  in 4,400 cases have ruled that their detentions were illegal. Last month,
[30:45.280 --> 30:51.760]  more than 6,000 habeas petitions were filed. Prior to the second Trump administration,
[30:51.760 --> 31:02.480]  no other month dating back to 2010 had seen even 500. Now they had 6,000. So again,
[31:03.120 --> 31:10.240]  we can't bother with following the law, says the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, a lawyer.
[31:11.440 --> 31:18.400]  Let's just forget about the law. Maybe he ought to have his license revoked, right?
[31:19.440 --> 31:24.800]  Do lawyers even police that? I mean, if you get admitted to the bar and you decide that you need
[31:24.800 --> 31:30.720]  to just ignore the Bill of Rights and the Constitution as an elected leader, isn't that
[31:30.720 --> 31:38.800]  grounds for removing your license by the bar? It should be. As a matter of fact, I think they
[31:38.800 --> 31:42.560]  got rid of Bill Clinton's, I'm just going on memory here, but I think they got rid of
[31:43.280 --> 31:48.000]  his license to practice law when he committed perjury. They've done that for other people.
[31:48.880 --> 31:53.600]  What if you break your oath to the Constitution? Is that grounds? Evidently not.
[31:54.560 --> 32:01.600]  In ruling last month, Chief Judge Patrick Schlitz of the U.S. District Court in Minnesota,
[32:02.240 --> 32:10.480]  a conservative judge appointed by W. Bush, provided a list of nearly 100 court orders
[32:10.480 --> 32:17.120]  that ICE had violated just that month while deployed as part of Trump's Operation Metro Surge.
[32:18.080 --> 32:24.320]  Meanwhile, the Alex Prede shooting investigation in Minnesota, the FBI has told Minnesota law
[32:24.320 --> 32:30.720]  enforcement, we will give you absolutely no information. We will not share anything with you.
[32:31.760 --> 32:38.720]  And they said this is unprecedented. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the FBI
[32:38.720 --> 32:45.920]  formally notified this agency on Friday that it will, quote, not provide the BCA with access to
[32:46.160 --> 32:52.560]  any information or evidence that it has collected in the shooting death of Alex Prede. While this
[32:52.560 --> 32:58.240]  lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent,
[32:58.240 --> 33:05.840]  and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key
[33:05.840 --> 33:12.320]  information and evidence. Maybe what the FBI stands for is a feds blocking investigation.
[33:12.400 --> 33:16.640]  They have done this time and again. Talked about this many times. One of the most interesting ones
[33:16.640 --> 33:23.760]  that they blocked, well documented, was the investigation of Flight 800. The FBI blocked
[33:23.760 --> 33:29.680]  that investigation as well. And here they are blocking this investigation. It's just amazing
[33:29.680 --> 33:37.280]  how perverted the federal government has become. Before we take a break, we've got Georgia Boy
[33:37.280 --> 33:42.160]  1142 said David forgot to verify his age. It's kind of frightening for me to verify my age,
[33:42.160 --> 33:46.640]  isn't it? You know, you get to the point where, you know, when you look in the mirror and verify
[33:46.640 --> 33:51.360]  your age, it's like, who is that person? I don't know who that is. But maybe that's why they kicked
[33:51.360 --> 33:56.640]  me off, right? I didn't verify my age. I think it has something else to do with the content.
[33:56.640 --> 34:03.760]  Milutvin Milakovich has gifted a sub on Rumble. Thank you very much. And Gard Goldsmith, Liberty
[34:03.760 --> 34:08.480]  Conspiracy. Good to see you, Gard. He said the feds are buying a warehouse in the town bordering
[34:08.480 --> 34:14.960]  ours and putting in an ICE detention camp. They're buying warehouses all over the place.
[34:16.080 --> 34:21.360]  This is an insane policy when you stop and think about it. What is the purpose of this really?
[34:22.160 --> 34:28.960]  The purpose is to boast about the kinetic actions that they're doing. Look, we're tough guys. We're
[34:28.960 --> 34:33.040]  going to take care of this. And we got numbers that we're going to produce to give it to you.
[34:33.040 --> 34:38.400]  I remember when the Vietnam War was being conducted by Robert McNamara, and it was all
[34:38.400 --> 34:43.680]  about his body counts, whether or not they were right. He didn't really care about anything,
[34:43.680 --> 34:48.720]  except how many people did we kill? And how many people of ours did they kill? That was the entire
[34:48.720 --> 34:53.280]  calculus of what they were doing. Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right
[34:53.280 --> 35:03.520]  back.
[36:23.280 --> 36:47.520]  Music.
[36:47.520 --> 36:55.760]  Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show.
[36:56.960 --> 37:01.840]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want
[37:01.840 --> 37:08.720]  you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to
[37:08.720 --> 37:15.440]  no healthcare. So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors
[37:15.520 --> 37:22.240]  in their community and no money for real medical care. By the third day, her body was shutting
[37:22.240 --> 37:29.440]  down. She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't
[37:29.440 --> 37:35.840]  keep going. Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything, but she needed a
[37:35.840 --> 37:42.800]  private hospital. And that was impossible for her family to afford. And that is when Compassion
[37:42.800 --> 37:49.440]  International stepped in. Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated. And against all odds,
[37:49.440 --> 37:56.320]  she survived. She lived because someone just like you took action. Right now, unfortunately,
[37:56.320 --> 38:01.920]  there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[38:02.480 --> 38:08.080]  Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children with the support
[38:08.080 --> 38:14.880]  that they need, critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel,
[38:15.520 --> 38:23.680]  all in Jesus' name. So help a child just like Alejandra today. You can visit compassion.com.
[38:23.680 --> 38:25.840]  That's compassion.com.
[38:38.080 --> 39:01.840]  Welcome back. I want to thank the people who have supported us and give our supporters and
[39:01.840 --> 39:09.040]  donors an idea of where we are this month. We haven't, well, we have updated the gas gauge
[39:09.040 --> 39:14.880]  on the website, davidknight.news, but there's not a spot there for a third. So we're right now,
[39:14.880 --> 39:20.320]  we're at 33%. Karen has it at a quarter. We're going to leave it there till we get just a little
[39:20.320 --> 39:25.520]  bit closer to the three eights. And I want to thank people who have supported us on Zelle.
[39:25.520 --> 39:32.000]  Let me read the names. I'll read the first name and last initial. William D. Thank you very much.
[39:32.000 --> 39:42.000]  We have Marilyn. Let me see if this is a C or a G. That is a G. Marilyn G. Carl H. Michael L.
[39:42.000 --> 39:54.000]  Lyndon H. Susan L. Sean S. Felicia H. Daniel C. Susan L. again. Mary M. Gregory I. and Benjamin R.
[39:54.000 --> 39:57.840]  Thank you very much for your support. And there were three names the other day when I mentioned
[39:58.800 --> 40:06.560]  checks that have been sent to us that got left off. The Sellers, Sylvia D. and Kelly and Philip.
[40:06.560 --> 40:11.440]  Thank you so much, all of you, because that's what makes this show possible. We don't put things
[40:11.440 --> 40:18.480]  behind a paywall. We just trust people to support the program if they find it valuable. Let's talk
[40:18.480 --> 40:22.400]  a little bit about- And also, if you would like to find out where you can support the show,
[40:22.400 --> 40:26.560]  you can go to davidknight.news. We've got all the links there. And of course,
[40:26.560 --> 40:31.280]  subscribestar.com forward slash The David Knight Show is a great place to support the show. You
[40:31.280 --> 40:37.840]  can set it up and it's fire and forget. You can also subscribe on Substack, where we post the show
[40:37.840 --> 40:43.040]  and also links to the articles covered on the show every single day. And you get those on
[40:43.040 --> 40:50.000]  Subscribestar as well. Travis knows because he's the one who posts them up there. That's quite a
[40:50.000 --> 40:54.720]  job to have to do that each day. There's a lot of places that we post the show and you can find
[40:54.720 --> 40:59.440]  those places at davidknight.news. Sometimes it can be difficult on some of these platforms
[40:59.440 --> 41:05.040]  to find the show. I don't know why they do that. It's funny about that. But yeah, if we are not
[41:05.040 --> 41:09.040]  banned on a platform, sometimes we are kind of shadow banned on the platform. So if you want
[41:09.040 --> 41:14.400]  a link to where you can find the show, video or audio, the best way to do that is to go to
[41:14.400 --> 41:19.520]  davidknight.news. And of course, wherever you're watching or listening, please leave a like
[41:19.520 --> 41:23.360]  on the show. We appreciate it. That's a big help. That's a big help. Thank you so much.
[41:23.360 --> 41:27.200]  All right. Let's talk a little bit about the immigration issue itself.
[41:28.640 --> 41:32.560]  As we have laughed about this and joked about it, as Lance said the other day,
[41:32.560 --> 41:39.920]  why do I have to be either team open border or team federal police beating people on the streets?
[41:39.920 --> 41:44.080]  Why do we have to? Why are those our only two choices? Isn't there another way? Well, of course
[41:44.080 --> 41:49.680]  there is. It's the welfare magnet that the Trump administration has just nearly doubled
[41:49.680 --> 41:55.520]  for people who are coming in as refugees. Reports show these are new studies that have come out.
[41:55.520 --> 42:00.240]  This is an article from the New American report shows that most immigrants get some form of
[42:00.240 --> 42:09.920]  welfare. 61% of illegal aliens get welfare. I've always said it's the welfare magnet, stupid. It's
[42:09.920 --> 42:14.960]  not the wall or anything else. It's the biggest issue. If you've got a big welfare magnet,
[42:14.960 --> 42:19.440]  people are going to find some way to get in. So again, a majority of immigrant households,
[42:19.440 --> 42:25.520]  more than 50% are on welfare. Somalis in Minnesota receive some form of welfare,
[42:25.520 --> 42:32.000]  almost 90% of them. And there has been an explosion and Somalis have come in again.
[42:32.000 --> 42:35.760]  They're not walking across the border. You're not going to stop them with a wall.
[42:35.760 --> 42:40.480]  They're being incentivized by all these different administrations. I mean, when
[42:40.480 --> 42:46.480]  there were no Somalis at all before they started coming in, there was hardly any money in the
[42:46.480 --> 42:50.960]  refugee program. Then by the time they started coming in, they ramped it up to a couple billion
[42:50.960 --> 42:57.200]  dollars and it gradually has increased until the last three years. It's been $6 billion a year.
[42:57.200 --> 43:03.360]  Now this is not including the welfare fraud that they've engaged in, criminal fraud for which
[43:03.360 --> 43:09.760]  they've not been punished, for which we knew they were doing this back in 2018. It was reported on.
[43:09.760 --> 43:15.360]  I reported on it back then. And the Trump administration didn't do anything about it.
[43:15.360 --> 43:18.480]  The Biden administration didn't do anything about it. The second Trump administration
[43:18.480 --> 43:23.760]  did nothing about it until you had a reporter show it to everybody. Then they got interested,
[43:23.760 --> 43:29.120]  but they still haven't rounded these people up and stopped it. I mean, this is the type of thing,
[43:29.760 --> 43:35.120]  or if you look at Al Capone, it was the tax auditors that took him down. It was the accountants
[43:35.120 --> 43:41.680]  who took him down. It wasn't Eliot Ness and his Untouchables. And it's not Christy Noem and her
[43:41.680 --> 43:48.720]  Untouchables, the ICE criminals that are out there. So again, refugee funding then increased by Trump
[43:48.720 --> 43:53.200]  this year as they are talking about all this stuff. They're not getting rid of the Somalis.
[43:53.200 --> 44:00.640]  Instead, what they're doing is they're increasing the refugee fund from $6 billion to $11 billion,
[44:00.640 --> 44:07.520]  an 80% increase, nearly doubling it. And so still nothing happening with the fraud.
[44:08.160 --> 44:13.600]  Immigrants are a bottomless drain on taxpayer resources, and they contribute virtually nothing
[44:13.600 --> 44:18.640]  to the fiscal health of the federal and state treasuries either. As a matter of fact, we keep
[44:19.440 --> 44:25.280]  ramping this up. 53% of immigrant-headed households, according to a survey that
[44:25.280 --> 44:35.600]  was done by CIS, 53% include naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal aliens,
[44:35.600 --> 44:43.200]  are using at least one major welfare program. Just 37% of American-born households use a
[44:43.200 --> 44:49.280]  welfare program. So Americans, 37%. For illegal and even legal immigrants, 53%.
[44:50.640 --> 44:54.960]  And of course, this is not counting the schools. When we were in Texas, they were building
[44:54.960 --> 45:00.640]  one school after the other because of all the illegal aliens coming in, all the kids
[45:00.640 --> 45:05.520]  that they were bringing in. I mentioned this before, but when we lived in Austin, I got stuck
[45:05.520 --> 45:12.240]  behind a school bus for 30 minutes, something like that. I didn't see them offload a single
[45:12.240 --> 45:19.040]  white kid. Yeah, yeah. All foreigners coming in. Welfare use by non-citizen households,
[45:19.040 --> 45:26.560]  illegals on green card holders is 59%. They get free health care compared to households headed by
[45:26.560 --> 45:34.560]  the US-born immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs. 35% versus
[45:34.560 --> 45:44.320]  22%. Medicaid, you have 39% of foreigners on it versus 27% for Americans. Earned income tax
[45:44.320 --> 45:52.000]  credit, 15% for foreigners, 10% for US-born. Illegals use welfare at a much higher rate than
[45:52.000 --> 46:02.480]  legal immigrants, 61% to 51%. So again, it's worse for the illegals and it's much worse
[46:03.440 --> 46:08.400]  for immigrants in general than Americans using the program and much worse for illegals.
[46:08.400 --> 46:13.280]  And of course, this is what Cloward and Piven knew. Cloward and Piven said, you know, we've been
[46:13.280 --> 46:19.440]  trying to take down the American system using welfare, but the Americans aren't signing up for
[46:19.440 --> 46:24.480]  it enough. So let's bring in people from other countries. That'll do it. That'll collapse it
[46:24.480 --> 46:31.680]  using welfare. That is the Cloward and Piven strategy, and it's working. The research shows
[46:32.400 --> 46:37.360]  excluding the extensively used but less costly school lunch and breakfast program. Now they're
[46:37.360 --> 46:40.320]  going to talk about school lunch and breakfast program, but they're not going to talk about
[46:40.320 --> 46:47.440]  schools in general, the massive cost of schools, the buildings, the teachers, the buses, everything
[46:47.440 --> 46:50.880]  about it. And of course, if they're putting up signs, if companies like Walmart are having to
[46:50.880 --> 46:55.120]  put up signs in other languages, they're having to hire teachers that speak these languages.
[46:55.120 --> 46:58.960]  Yes. You're not just able to hire, you know, any old teacher off the street.
[46:58.960 --> 47:03.120]  Oh, let's not teach them English at all. You know, as a matter of fact, that's one of the issues
[47:03.120 --> 47:09.280]  in this particular thing here. When you look at the smallies and the fact that they're not learning
[47:09.280 --> 47:16.160]  English, that is a key issue and why they are not succeeding. You're not going to be able to get a
[47:16.160 --> 47:21.040]  good job if you can't speak English. It's just a given, and they have absolutely no interest
[47:21.040 --> 47:27.360]  in learning how to speak English. And so children on the nutrition program, women, infants, and
[47:27.360 --> 47:37.440]  children shows that 47% of immigrant households versus 34% of American households use at least
[47:37.440 --> 47:43.760]  one of the remaining programs. The numbers show that 59% of non-citizen headed households are on
[47:43.760 --> 47:52.240]  welfare. 53% of immigrant headed households are. 21% of illegal and legal immigrant households get
[47:52.240 --> 48:01.680]  cash assistance. 44% and 32%, respectively, get food assistance. 44% and 38% go on Medicaid.
[48:02.400 --> 48:05.520]  And bottom line, when you start looking at these comparative numbers, you're finding that
[48:06.080 --> 48:13.040]  20% to 50% higher use of welfare subsidies and things like that for people who were not
[48:13.040 --> 48:18.800]  American born, and they're not even counting the schools. For those here less than a decade,
[48:18.800 --> 48:23.520]  the rate is 48%, but for those who are here more than a decade, it goes up to 54%.
[48:25.040 --> 48:30.560]  They're gaming the system even more after they come. 86% of all immigrant households have at
[48:30.560 --> 48:38.560]  least one worker compared with just 74% of US born households. Income determines welfare eligibility,
[48:39.120 --> 48:46.560]  so many low wage workers are on welfare. Immigrant households without children, however,
[48:46.560 --> 48:50.800]  and those with higher incomes and those that are headed by well-educated immigrants
[48:51.440 --> 48:56.160]  tend to be more likely to use welfare than the US born counterparts. So it's not just,
[48:56.160 --> 49:01.440]  well, these people are poor, they're not making any money. No, the people who have people who
[49:01.440 --> 49:06.000]  are making higher incomes, people who have a higher education, but who are immigrants,
[49:06.640 --> 49:13.840]  are more likely to use the welfare. It's a cultural thing. The question is how immigrants
[49:13.840 --> 49:19.760]  who are forbidden from receiving welfare get so much of it? Well, they collect benefits because
[49:19.760 --> 49:25.280]  of their anchor baby kids. The prohibition excluded some programs. Most legal immigrants
[49:25.280 --> 49:29.520]  have lived here long enough to qualify for welfare. States provide their own welfare,
[49:29.520 --> 49:34.880]  and naturalized immigrants can, of course, jump on the dole the minute they take the oath of
[49:34.880 --> 49:40.480]  citizenship. The big problem with immigrants on welfare isn't just the money that they collect,
[49:40.480 --> 49:45.760]  it's the tax revenue that they don't contribute. The federal government spends roughly one trillion
[49:45.760 --> 49:51.760]  dollars every year collectively on the above programs, which represents a substantial share
[49:51.760 --> 49:57.280]  of the federal budget. And again, that's not even counting the free quote unquote education,
[50:00.320 --> 50:07.440]  an education which, by the way, trashes American values, right? It's not enough that we have to pay
[50:08.160 --> 50:14.000]  property taxes and can't own homes because of the cost of the schools. What the schools are doing
[50:14.720 --> 50:19.600]  is they are doing everything they can to make the kids hate their own bodies, but also to hate their
[50:19.600 --> 50:27.440]  own country. And so that's very easy to do with foreigners coming in. And then you have Somalia,
[50:27.440 --> 50:34.320]  the welfare bonanza that's there. CIS warned that the high rate of welfare use should not be seen
[50:34.320 --> 50:39.280]  as immigrants who are gaming the system, unless you're talking about Somalia.
[50:40.480 --> 50:47.440]  And then they said it truly is an organized gaming of the system. Major welfare fraud operations in
[50:47.440 --> 50:56.480]  which almost 90% of Somalis get some form of welfare. 90%. They speak little, if any, English,
[50:57.360 --> 51:03.120]  they are virtually illiterate, and they are a sinkhole for tax dollars, even without all the
[51:03.120 --> 51:12.480]  fraud. Almost 40% of them live below the poverty line. 52% of kids in Somali immigrant homes live
[51:12.480 --> 51:19.280]  in poverty. The strongest predictors of poverty are low education and a lack of English language
[51:19.280 --> 51:29.200]  ability. And so virtually all native Minnesotans speak English very well, but 58% of working-age
[51:29.280 --> 51:34.080]  Somalis do not speak English. 40% don't have a high school diploma.
[51:34.800 --> 51:42.400]  21% of working-age Somali men are unemployed. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want to be honest
[51:42.400 --> 51:47.600]  with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago,
[51:47.600 --> 51:53.600]  I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[51:53.600 --> 52:00.400]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no
[52:00.400 --> 52:07.760]  idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch
[52:07.760 --> 52:14.000]  her life change right in front of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets
[52:14.000 --> 52:20.080]  to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[52:20.080 --> 52:26.240]  I got to be a part of that change, and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[52:26.240 --> 52:33.360]  it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on
[52:33.360 --> 52:39.760]  all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life. Change the world,
[52:39.760 --> 52:46.880]  and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today. Visit Compassion.com. That's

[53:20.000 --> 53:25.680]  Let me put this in context. Antonin Scalia was speaking abroad when he was
[53:26.720 --> 53:30.640]  talking about the importance of culture, and really what it is. I want you to hear what he
[53:30.640 --> 53:35.520]  had to say about this, and it really does give you an understanding why the Somalis
[53:36.160 --> 53:39.280]  are not ever going to fit in here if they don't learn to speak English.
[53:39.280 --> 53:45.760]  Diversity alone is not what makes a great nation. I mean diversity alone makes
[53:46.880 --> 53:53.360]  some of the tribal societies of the world that never quite make it, such as some of the
[53:54.160 --> 54:02.480]  places in the Middle East where we're trying to establish nationhood. As I said earlier,
[54:02.480 --> 54:07.840]  it's part of our tradition that everybody can be an American, but there has been a common
[54:08.560 --> 54:13.760]  a common culture. You don't have to belong to it, but there has been that. What is it?
[54:15.120 --> 54:19.600]  Okay, you want to know what it is? Is there a bond? Is there a common culture?
[54:20.800 --> 54:26.880]  Let me tell you a story. My junior year college I studied in Switzerland, and I used to get really
[54:26.880 --> 54:37.440]  annoyed when the French Swiss professors I had would refer constantly to les pays anglo-sacs,
[54:37.440 --> 54:44.240]  the Anglo-Saxon countries, meaning England, the United States, Australia, New Zealand,
[54:44.240 --> 54:51.520]  okay, Canada. I said, you know, hey, my name is Scalia, and I'm as American as anybody.
[54:51.520 --> 54:58.960]  Look at this face. Is this an Anglo-Saxon face? I had never been in England, but at the end of my
[54:58.960 --> 55:07.920]  year, I went to England, and I felt at home. There is no doubt that American culture,
[55:08.640 --> 55:15.040]  American common culture, which nobody has to belong to, originates with English culture,
[55:15.680 --> 55:21.600]  and that includes Shakespeare, it includes nursery rhymes that we all know, and that we use as
[55:21.600 --> 55:26.400]  examples. That's our common culture, and I think the framers recognized that,
[55:28.080 --> 55:32.880]  and diversity is fine, but diversity does not make a nation.
[55:34.880 --> 55:39.520]  That's right. It's nations, tongues, and tribes. That's the way the Bible understands it
[55:40.080 --> 55:45.440]  and explains it. That was back in 2006, by the way, and, you know, that's what he said really
[55:45.440 --> 55:51.760]  hit home with me because that was the reason that it took Karen for a honeymoon to the UK.
[55:51.760 --> 56:02.560]  We spent a lot of time in London going through free museums. It was a great time, but that was
[56:02.560 --> 56:10.480]  a key thing. The culture, the language, you know, just as he points out, Shakespeare, the rest of
[56:10.480 --> 56:17.680]  this stuff, it was amazing to see it, and even though we have a, you know, the American culture
[56:17.680 --> 56:22.880]  is different from UK's culture, there's been a divergence. There's still that baseline that's
[56:22.880 --> 56:29.840]  there, and he didn't mention, interestingly enough, our common law. You know, if you're
[56:29.840 --> 56:37.280]  a Supreme Court judge, a lot of this stuff, it traces back to the Magna Carta and traces back
[56:37.280 --> 56:44.000]  when you look at things like habeas corpus, for example, locking people up without having any law
[56:45.120 --> 56:51.040]  that allows you to do that. You know, that goes back to during nullification cases that we talked
[56:51.040 --> 56:57.760]  about many times here. You know, the ordeal of Edwin Bushnell, William Penn, who was in the UK
[56:57.760 --> 57:03.680]  before he came to America and, you know, started the state there in Pennsylvania with Quakers,
[57:03.680 --> 57:09.840]  set that up. They were meeting and had their Quaker church in violation of the law.
[57:11.520 --> 57:15.040]  Church of England was the only one that you were allowed to go to, but they did it anyway. They
[57:15.040 --> 57:19.920]  locked the doors to their church building. They held their church services on the steps. Then they
[57:19.920 --> 57:25.760]  arrested William Penn, and the jury didn't agree with that law. You know, there should not be
[57:26.400 --> 57:32.720]  a prohibition as to how people worship God, and so they let him go, and the judge was furious. It
[57:32.720 --> 57:36.640]  was clear that he had violated the law, but the jury looked at the law, and they said,
[57:36.640 --> 57:43.040]  that law is awful. We're going to nullify it. And so the judge, in his anger, locked up the foreman
[57:43.040 --> 57:49.200]  and the assistant foreman, and he didn't have any reason to do that. And so they stayed in jail for
[57:49.200 --> 57:53.760]  a while, like some of these migrants that were there, and then their lawyer said, you know,
[57:53.760 --> 58:00.640]  show me the law, habeas corpus, show me the body of law that these people violated for you to lock
[58:00.640 --> 58:06.400]  them up. And he had to let them go. That was a very important trial because it established habeas
[58:06.400 --> 58:14.000]  corpus. It also established jury nullification. These types of traditions that go back for a
[58:14.000 --> 58:18.080]  very long time, all of these things are being overturned, and that's why it is necessary
[58:18.640 --> 58:22.320]  for them to overturn our culture. It's why it's necessary for them to bring in people
[58:22.880 --> 58:27.680]  who, A, don't speak English, and B, don't care to ever learn to speak English.
[58:27.680 --> 58:32.160]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute,
[58:32.160 --> 58:38.320]  and I want you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time,
[58:38.320 --> 58:44.640]  and they sound good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless
[58:44.640 --> 58:51.520]  they turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world
[58:51.520 --> 58:58.800]  who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all.
[58:58.800 --> 59:05.120]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is
[59:05.120 --> 59:11.360]  where you come in. With Compassion International, you have the chance to change a child's future,
[59:11.360 --> 59:17.760]  not just with words, not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education,
[59:17.760 --> 59:23.200]  and hope through local churches and people already in their community.
[59:23.200 --> 59:30.400]  Put your words into action and join me. Introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today
[59:30.400 --> 59:34.640]  at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[59:47.760 --> 01:00:11.120]  They don't want to have anything to do with what this country is about. And that's the bottom line.
[01:00:11.680 --> 01:00:17.600]  And these types of totalitarian, authoritarian, quote unquote, enforcement
[01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:26.560]  is backfiring big time on all this. It's going to push a lot of people towards the open border
[01:00:26.560 --> 01:00:33.280]  position because a lot of people realize just how dangerous this is. And we should not be supporting
[01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:41.280]  it in any way, shape, or form. It is a dagger that is aimed at our chest, not just the people
[01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:46.800]  who are here illegally. If you have police that are given carte blanche to just walk down the street,
[01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:53.280]  if they think that you are engaged in criminal activity, to just kill you, as Trump cheered
[01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:59.520]  when Duterte was doing that in the Philippines. If you do that here in America, we are all in
[01:00:59.520 --> 01:01:06.080]  jeopardy. That's why this is so important that we get this right. Well, some people, obviously,
[01:01:06.080 --> 01:01:12.720]  are above the law. And I guess we can put in that category, Bayer and Monsanto. Bayer stock has
[01:01:12.720 --> 01:01:20.000]  soared after a settlement, a mere $10 billion on current and future roundup cancer lawsuits.
[01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:27.440]  $10 billion settlement to settle current and future cancer lawsuits.
[01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:35.920]  So this will save them from any potential claims that could be filed over a 20-year period.
[01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:42.880]  So regardless of how many people they kill with their glyphosate, regardless of how many people
[01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:49.840]  get non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, they now know that they don't have to pay more than this $10 billion,
[01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:56.560]  which is chicken feed to them. Bayer bought Monsanto for $60 billion. And this stuff was
[01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:01.680]  already on the table. And they rightly calculated that they would have to pay for these lawsuits.
[01:02:01.680 --> 01:02:07.600]  Bayer also announced a $3 billion settlement of existing US cases in which former roundup users
[01:02:07.600 --> 01:02:15.200]  blamed the herbicide for causing their non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Yeah, that killed our dog. Our neighbor
[01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:23.120]  liked to use weed treatment on their yard. And we would lock him up, but he escaped repeatedly.
[01:02:23.120 --> 01:02:29.360]  And he got over there and also killed a friend of ours who worked for us with a video store.
[01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:37.280]  I died from this. And I remember when our dog was going through it and there was a report on
[01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:42.000]  the radio where they're talking about people who worked, agricultural workers working on farms and
[01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:49.360]  how they were getting this high rate of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. That's when we put two and two together.
[01:02:50.240 --> 01:02:55.680]  The company has paid about $10 billion to settle most of these roundup lawsuits. They were pending
[01:02:55.680 --> 01:03:02.400]  as of 2020, but they failed to get a settlement covering future cases. So now they've been given
[01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.880]  immunity from paying for this, regardless of how many people they give this to. And you know,
[01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:14.960]  glyphosate is so widely used that it now permeates our food supply. Really does. By the way,
[01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:19.520]  let me just say this while we're talking about cancer, you're not helpless about this kind of
[01:03:19.520 --> 01:03:26.960]  stuff. Go to rncstore.com. They've got the books that help you to understand what's going on with
[01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:32.720]  this stuff. One that I would recommend highly is one by G. Edward Griffin, a man of the utmost
[01:03:32.720 --> 01:03:40.000]  intelligence and integrity, a world without cancer. And you can get apricot seeds, vitamin B-17,
[01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:43.520]  very effective. One of the best things you can do to protect yourself, because folks,
[01:03:44.240 --> 01:03:49.520]  the government is not going to protect you. They're going to allow big rich corporations
[01:03:49.520 --> 01:03:54.800]  like Bayer and Monsanto. They're going to allow them to poison our food with cancer-causing
[01:03:54.800 --> 01:04:00.880]  chemicals. So one of the things that you need to do is go to rncstore.com. And by the way,
[01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:08.320]  you can save 10% if you use the code NIGHT. And I don't care if anybody criticizes me and thinks
[01:04:09.120 --> 01:04:12.560]  I'm saying this because of money. I'm not saying it because of money. We don't get that much from
[01:04:12.560 --> 01:04:24.640]  it. But the bottom line is I accept ads from people whose products I believe in, and I believe
[01:04:24.640 --> 01:04:30.720]  in this stuff. I know people that have been helped by personally. Anyway, a new coalition
[01:04:30.720 --> 01:04:34.880]  is aiming to ban vaccine mandates across the US. And again, I talked about this yesterday.
[01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:42.480]  It's not just the things that are happening in HHS with RFK Jr., but it's also several different
[01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:49.200]  organizations, including the Children's Health Defense that he founded. So they said the model
[01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:56.240]  state that they're trying to get to is Idaho. In 2025, Idaho enacted a law that prohibits
[01:04:56.240 --> 01:05:03.520]  businesses and schools from requiring customers, employees, and students to receive vaccines or
[01:05:03.520 --> 01:05:10.560]  other medical procedures. They call it the Idaho Medical Freedom Act. And folks, this is absolutely
[01:05:10.560 --> 01:05:16.880]  essential. How did we get to this point? Well, just to review quickly, we had two months before
[01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:23.120]  9-11, we had their first germ game, which is called Dark Winter. One week after 9-11,
[01:05:23.120 --> 01:05:27.760]  they had the anthrax attack. A couple of people were killed with anthrax. Two months after that,
[01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:34.880]  they put out model state legislation, Model State Emergency Powers Act. That's where they
[01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:39.440]  get the power. They set up the state power to mandate this kind of stuff. And then Trump
[01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:44.080]  writes them checks to bribe them to do that 20 years later after they practiced it on an
[01:05:44.080 --> 01:05:50.160]  annual basis. So we've got to do this at the state level. We've got to stop this authority
[01:05:50.720 --> 01:05:56.720]  to mandate vaccines. They've done it in Idaho. And this is a coalition of different organizations
[01:05:56.720 --> 01:06:02.160]  that are working to do this at the state level. This is more important than what is happening
[01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:09.520]  at HHS. HHS can come in and change the vaccine schedule. And then when these guys at the top
[01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:16.640]  leave, then they'll change it right back. The lasting change is at the state level. That's
[01:06:16.640 --> 01:06:23.040]  why the feds did that with their germ games. Dark Winter, 9-11, anthrax attack. Boom,
[01:06:23.040 --> 01:06:27.920]  here's your legislation. Give this power to yourself at the state level. We need to remove
[01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:32.320]  that at the state level. This is one of the things that needs to be done, a very important thing.
[01:06:33.120 --> 01:06:39.040]  So because of that past, it really showed that this is possible. And so our goal is to take this
[01:06:39.040 --> 01:06:44.880]  Idaho Medical Freedom Act to as many states as possible across the U.S. Children's Health
[01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:50.880]  Defense finds vaccine mandates and medical mandates to be reprehensible. And we are honored to be a
[01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:57.200]  part of this coalition fighting to end forced medical procedures, to end medical mandates,
[01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:03.600]  and vaccine mandates for all Americans. We should all aspire to that. And again,
[01:07:04.640 --> 01:07:10.320]  you know, trying to fix this in Washington is not going to last for long, if it works at all.
[01:07:11.520 --> 01:07:16.720]  With the next regime change, it'll come right back. Where the rubber meets the road is at
[01:07:16.720 --> 01:07:21.920]  the state level. That's why these people put in the regulations at the state level.
[01:07:22.640 --> 01:07:27.280]  And of course, they're being fought by the pediatricians and some organization called
[01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:31.520]  American Families for Vaccines. I bet if you looked that up, I didn't have time to do that.
[01:07:31.520 --> 01:07:36.800]  I know the American Academy of Pediatrics is heavily funded by big pharmaceutical companies.
[01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:41.600]  But I bet this American Families for Vaccines, that sounds like an astroturf organization,
[01:07:41.600 --> 01:07:46.480]  if ever there was one. The Idaho Medical Freedom Act says in part that a school,
[01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:50.720]  quote, shall not mandate a medical intervention for any person to attend,
[01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:57.680]  to enter campus or buildings, or to be employed. They said every state in the country requires
[01:07:57.680 --> 01:08:02.720]  vaccines for school attendance. Some allow exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons,
[01:08:02.720 --> 01:08:08.000]  while all permit medical exemptions. Florida officials said in 2025, they would be removing
[01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:13.360]  all vaccine mandates, but the goal has met resistance in the state legislature.
[01:08:38.080 --> 01:08:45.200]  doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all.
[01:08:45.200 --> 01:08:51.920]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is where

[01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:55.120]  Well, we're going to take a quick break, but before we do,
[01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:00.880]  I want to talk a little bit about what's going on with AI in terms of entertainment.
[01:10:01.040 --> 01:10:08.160]  Actually, this is one area where I think it's very positive. When you look at the creation
[01:10:08.160 --> 01:10:14.720]  of images and movies and things like that, it can be very dangerous in terms of its ability to audit
[01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:22.800]  us, in terms of its ability to manipulate our opinions, in terms of pacifying us. When you
[01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:28.320]  think about some of the movies like Arthur, which is basically based on
[01:10:29.280 --> 01:10:36.960]  P.G. Wodehouse's series of Jeeves and Wooster, a couple of characters out of stories of that.
[01:10:38.160 --> 01:10:43.920]  But you're probably more familiar with Arthur. What you see over and over again with this
[01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:50.960]  stereotype is you've got this upper-class twit who has a very knowledgeable butler who does
[01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:54.800]  everything for him. Before you know it, the guy can't do anything at all for himself.
[01:10:55.440 --> 01:11:02.880]  I thought it was kind of interesting that that was really aspired to early on with the internet.
[01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:08.320]  There was a kind of a search engine or something, wasn't it? Jeeves actually called that. Of course,
[01:11:08.320 --> 01:11:13.120]  they didn't have the chops. They didn't have the technology to actually pull it off. Now,
[01:11:13.120 --> 01:11:17.680]  you actually do have little Jeeves out there, the AI agents and things like that, and people are
[01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:25.360]  getting pacified on it. So, all of that is a danger. However, there's just been an update
[01:11:25.360 --> 01:11:36.000]  from ByteDance, their SeaDance 2.0. I haven't used it. Lance hasn't used it, but the stuff that I've
[01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:41.040]  seen coming out of it truly is amazing. I've seen some posts on social media. One guy says,
[01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:47.280]  I've been working in film for about 30 years, and he goes, this is wonderful because I can do the
[01:11:47.280 --> 01:11:53.200]  script writing. I can do the cinematography. I can do every aspect of it. I can do it myself.
[01:11:54.320 --> 01:11:59.040]  It opens up the creative door for a lot of people because, frankly, Hollywood doesn't have a story
[01:11:59.040 --> 01:12:07.920]  to tell. Truth and Beauty left Hollywood a long, long, long time ago, and it's gotten very ugly
[01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:15.200]  in the interim there. Because it's coming out of China, of course, China doesn't have
[01:12:16.080 --> 01:12:21.520]  any interest at all in preserving intellectual property. It's kind of like, yeah, make this.
[01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:29.760]  As a matter of fact, they almost did, they or somebody like them did a video that basically
[01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:36.640]  taunted Disney because Disney has been one of the most aggressive companies in terms of
[01:12:37.200 --> 01:12:43.760]  protecting their intellectual property. I remember there was a daycare center that had
[01:12:44.320 --> 01:12:49.360]  some artists come in and they painted Disney characters on the wall for little kids and
[01:12:49.360 --> 01:12:54.160]  everything. Disney sought them out, this one, it's not a franchise or anything, but they sought
[01:12:54.160 --> 01:13:00.160]  them out to make an example of them and hit them with lawyers and they got picked up by the
[01:13:00.160 --> 01:13:07.680]  newspaper. Hanna-Barbera sent their own artists in and drew Fred Flintstone and the Jetsons and
[01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:13.280]  other characters like that on the wall for them to cover up the Disney stuff. But it's also used,
[01:13:13.360 --> 01:13:20.560]  and it's been used against me multiple times, to try to silence us on political issues. The first
[01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:27.040]  and most obvious one was The Wonderful Life, which kind of added insult to injury because they
[01:13:27.040 --> 01:13:31.680]  didn't even have a legitimate copyright. That's one of the things that Disney has done. Disney has
[01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:37.360]  extended their copyrights, they've gone to Congress and gotten special legislation just for themselves
[01:13:37.360 --> 01:13:43.840]  to extend copyrights over and over and over again, many times past the life of the people
[01:13:44.480 --> 01:13:50.000]  who created this stuff. And they've been very aggressive with that. Well, you know,
[01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:54.880]  we look at It's a Wonderful Life, that was in public domain, that's how it became popular,
[01:13:54.880 --> 01:13:59.280]  it was a failure when it first came out. Then with it being in public domain, it got to be very
[01:13:59.280 --> 01:14:05.520]  popular. I did the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve, of course I did It's a Wonderful Lie,
[01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:11.840]  because there were a lot of parallels to the banker there, Mr. Potter, was actually based on
[01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:18.400]  JP Morgan, in terms of many different aspects and things they did, organizing runs against other
[01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.120]  banks and stuff like that. So I used that, but that was just, it was used as fair use, because
[01:14:23.120 --> 01:14:27.760]  there was a lot of commentary about the creation of the Federal Reserve, what people in Congress
[01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:33.120]  were saying at the time, how it would be abused and the fact that it was abused that way, and even the
[01:14:33.120 --> 01:14:39.040]  numbers that they were talking about, the numbers that Mr. Potter was using to try to entice
[01:14:40.400 --> 01:14:44.720]  Bailey in order to join him, you know, the salary figures that he's throwing out,
[01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:48.800]  the cost of the houses and things like that. There was a lot in a movie like that that you
[01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:54.800]  could draw in terms of the negative aspects the Federal Reserve has had. Well, they took that down,
[01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:59.520]  they said that's a copyright violation. Well, where did I get the clips that I used for that?
[01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:03.280]  I got them off of YouTube. Same people took me down for a copyright violation.
[01:15:03.280 --> 01:15:09.760]  The entire movie had been up for years. The entire movie had had over a million views on YouTube,
[01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:17.600]  and they took down my thing, which was covered under fair use. Even if it had a valid copyright,
[01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:22.480]  it would have been covered under fair use. It wasn't about the copyright issue at all.
[01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:27.760]  It was about what I was saying about the Federal Reserve. So I'm not really friendly to this. And
[01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:31.840]  of course, the Hitchcock people did the same thing. We're going to do another McGuffin,
[01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:37.040]  though. He doesn't own the term McGuffin. That's not owned by Hitchcock, and he doesn't own the
[01:15:37.040 --> 01:15:42.640]  music either. If the copyright rules have been there, you wouldn't have had a Hitchcock theme
[01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:48.560]  either. That was written by another composer long before they ever picked that up and used it.
[01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:52.800]  So Disney is at the center of this. And look at this. For people who are listening to this,
[01:15:53.440 --> 01:15:59.600]  I'll just describe the scene and then I'll play it for you. They have Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robocop,
[01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:04.400]  and Predator. And the three of them are fighting. And then you have little Mickey Mouse coming out
[01:16:04.400 --> 01:16:11.440]  in a suit smoking a cigar like a wealthy CEO. And he holds up a sign to tell them that
[01:16:12.320 --> 01:16:15.920]  cease and desist type of thing. And the three of them stomping them in the ground.
[01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:25.920]  I forbid you to generate!
[01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:40.640]  That's basically what's going on with this stuff. And again, it's a complicated issue. But one of
[01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:46.800]  the reasons that this is coming up is because this isn't simply about protecting the intellectual
[01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:51.600]  property of people who are creators. This is something about corporations extending this
[01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:57.760]  in perpetuity and exploiting it in another way. And I'll play you just a little bit of this. This
[01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:04.320]  is somebody who went back and did Austin Powers with a different cast. So they've got Tom Cruise
[01:17:04.320 --> 01:17:09.600]  as Austin Powers. They've got Gwyneth Paltrow there as a sidekick. Actually, they do have
[01:17:10.720 --> 01:17:14.160]  Michael Myers who did Austin Powers. They have him in there. What I think is interesting
[01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:22.960]  is that these characters are so well defined and so well captured that you can identify who these
[01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:28.560]  actors are even though they are in a different role. I got Kevin Spacey as the villain. What
[01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:35.280]  is his name? Evil or something? Dr. Evil. And his sidekick is Danny DeVino. And then they have
[01:17:35.280 --> 01:17:39.440]  Steven Spielberg in there as well. And they not only captured their voice, but they captured
[01:17:39.440 --> 01:17:42.480]  their mannerisms and everything in this. Just take a look at this.
[01:17:48.240 --> 01:17:56.480]  Yeah, baby.
[01:17:56.480 --> 01:18:10.080]  Hi, I'm Dixie. Dixie Normas.
[01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:20.080]  I may just be a small town FBI agent slash single mother, but I'm still tough and sexy.
[01:18:20.080 --> 01:18:29.680]  Well, Miss Normas, shall we shag now or shag later? Oh, Austin, behave.
[01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:42.560]  Hey, Powers, you better watch your frigging self because this is one doctor who does make house calls.
[01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:50.640]  Right, mini me. Hey, assholes.
[01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:57.040]  I'm right over here. I'm mini me. Come and get me.
[01:18:57.040 --> 01:19:15.200]  This is all done by AI, just a few prompts. Think about that.
[01:19:15.200 --> 01:19:19.360]  So, Austin, what you think of the opening credits? Well, I can't believe Sir Steven
[01:19:19.360 --> 01:19:25.600]  Spielberg, the grooviest filmmaker in the history of cinema, is making a movie about my life.
[01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:32.480]  Very shagadelic, baby. Yeah. Having said that, I do have some thoughts.
[01:19:33.440 --> 01:19:37.920]  Really? My friend here thinks it's fine the way it is.
[01:19:38.960 --> 01:19:45.600]  Well, no offense to Stevie, but you got to have mojo, baby. Yeah. Hit it.
[01:19:48.240 --> 01:19:54.080]  Yeah. Isn't that amazing? What do you think about that, Travis? I mean, you can see the personality
[01:19:54.400 --> 01:19:58.480]  of these different actors and even Steven Spielberg. And even as the actors are playing
[01:19:58.480 --> 01:20:02.160]  a different role, truly it's amazing. I don't know how to get that expression in there. But
[01:20:02.160 --> 01:20:10.480]  that's the newest version of AI. And quite frankly, they're letting people use characters
[01:20:10.480 --> 01:20:16.880]  from Star Wars, Marvel, other Disney franchises. Disney is very upset about it, but a lot of people
[01:20:16.880 --> 01:20:20.800]  are looking at this and saying, well, that's basically it for the movie business because
[01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:27.040]  Hollywood has been out of ideas. It's just been licensing and copyright. People in chat are saying
[01:20:27.040 --> 01:20:33.840]  that's not AI. That's actually from the Austin Powers movie. Oh, really? Yeah. I've never seen
[01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:38.800]  Austin Powers, so. I didn't either. Oh, okay. Well, maybe that's why it's so realistic,
[01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:42.960]  because maybe it is realistic. It is the type of thing Tom Cruise would do. I've seen a lot of
[01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:48.560]  things that were put up. And I got to say, the other ones that I saw up were almost that good,
[01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:53.920]  but not quite as good as that. So that's actually from the movie itself. Okay. Well,
[01:20:53.920 --> 01:21:02.400]  I stand corrected. I thought that surfaced as part of the put up on social media and attributed to
[01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:07.200]  Sea Dance. But I've seen some other stuff that I thought was the best example,
[01:21:07.200 --> 01:21:11.840]  because it is real. We're going to take a quick break, folks. We'll be right back.
[01:22:37.200 --> 01:22:51.920]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute,
[01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:58.080]  and I want you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time,
[01:22:58.080 --> 01:23:04.400]  and they sound good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless
[01:23:04.400 --> 01:23:11.280]  they turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world
[01:23:11.280 --> 01:23:18.560]  who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all.
[01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:24.880]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is
[01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:31.120]  where you come in. With Compassion International, you have the chance to change a child's future,
[01:23:31.120 --> 01:23:37.520]  not just with words, not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education,
[01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:44.880]  and hope through local churches and people already in their community. Put your words into action,
[01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:52.320]  and join me. Introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today at Compassion.com.
[01:23:52.320 --> 01:23:54.480]  That's Compassion.com.
[01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:28.240]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:24:31.120 --> 01:24:40.800]  Yeah, as a matter of fact, Travis said now the entire chat is telling me he's got to watch
[01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:45.840]  Austin Powers. Yeah, that's not our thing. That's not our kind of movie. And I kind of say I fell
[01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:54.080]  for that because I saw some of the Sea Dance stuff that was DC comic characters versus Marvel
[01:24:54.080 --> 01:24:58.960]  comic characters, and they were very well done. For example, they had Superman versus Wolverine,
[01:24:58.960 --> 01:25:05.920]  and so you had Henry Cavell as Superman versus, what was it, Hugh Jackson as Wolverine,
[01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.840]  and I mean, that was very, very convincing. Hugh Jackman.
[01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:18.320]  Hugh Jackman, okay, not Jackson. Okay, so again, I'm losing it in terms of my movie references.
[01:25:18.320 --> 01:25:22.240]  I did that for a living for a while, but I really have lost interest in it.
[01:25:22.240 --> 01:25:25.920]  There's nothing nicer than not knowing who Hollywood celebrities are.
[01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:27.760]  That's right.
[01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:31.440]  Every time I see some new Hollywood celebrity and don't know who they are, it's like, oh,
[01:25:31.440 --> 01:25:37.280]  that's nice. Well, they had Batman versus Captain America, too, and action scenes that were there,
[01:25:37.280 --> 01:25:42.560]  and then they had some action scenes that were just massive in terms of special effects that
[01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:49.120]  were there. One person said, here's a billion-dollar movie with just a couple of prompts. It truly is
[01:25:49.120 --> 01:25:54.480]  going to open up narrative storytelling for other people, I think. One thing they're going
[01:25:54.480 --> 01:26:02.400]  to have to work on is the sense of continuous motion and maintaining angles people are traveling.
[01:26:02.400 --> 01:26:07.040]  A-High doesn't really consider typical human movement in the way it does things,
[01:26:07.040 --> 01:26:12.640]  so you'll see someone, I saw a clip of, I think, Spider-Man, where he's moving in one direction,
[01:26:12.640 --> 01:26:17.440]  and then all of a sudden, momentum doesn't stop, but he just starts moving up as opposed to forward.
[01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:21.520]  Well, they're getting better on that all the time, physics and things like that.
[01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:26.240]  That's something that's going to come in the future, and then you'll still probably need a
[01:26:26.240 --> 01:26:31.040]  really good video editor in the back end to stitch it together in ways that make sense.
[01:26:31.040 --> 01:26:32.480]  That's right. For a while, yeah.
[01:26:32.480 --> 01:26:37.200]  Then you'll also have to have people that sit there and monitor the entire thing. Oh, look,
[01:26:37.200 --> 01:26:42.720]  Captain America has seven fingers on this hand in this brief snippet, so we got to chop that out.
[01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:48.240]  Character continuity was a big, big issue in the very beginning. They worked a lot on that
[01:26:48.240 --> 01:26:51.840]  to make sure that that's happening. When we talk about continuity of character,
[01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:55.440]  I guess we talk about that in the real world in terms of people like Steve Bannon.
[01:26:57.040 --> 01:27:02.240]  There is a continuity of character. It may seem like the guy is flipping from one side to the
[01:27:02.240 --> 01:27:08.000]  other, and yet, if you look carefully, there is a continuity of character, meaning none at all.
[01:27:08.000 --> 01:27:14.720]  Despite Epstein's toxicity, Steve Bannon stood by him, indicate the text, a very chummy relationship,
[01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:18.960]  and of course, he was going to fix that relationship for him.
[01:27:20.320 --> 01:27:26.640]  Mid-afternoon, late June 2019, Steve Bannon sent Epstein an excited series of texts.
[01:27:27.200 --> 01:27:30.640]  Dude, he said, is this real? Tell me this is real.
[01:27:31.360 --> 01:27:36.720]  Epstein had just texted him a headline from Miami Herald that reported that victims of Epstein's
[01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:42.720]  sexual abuse had lost a court battle to nullify a decade-old agreement that protected him
[01:27:43.280 --> 01:27:47.840]  from prosecution for those crimes. Think about that. Here you've got Steve Bannon giving him
[01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:56.320]  high fives for getting away with his sexual abuse of women and children. That's the guy
[01:27:56.320 --> 01:28:04.400]  that you're following if you're listening to this guy. Truly is amazing. We see this,
[01:28:05.280 --> 01:28:10.640]  not just from Steve Bannon, but from so many people here. Pam Bondi actually ran for office
[01:28:10.640 --> 01:28:14.080]  talking about how she was going to be tough on sexual predators.
[01:28:14.080 --> 01:28:19.920]  Florida ranks third nationally in calls for help for human trafficking, where young women and
[01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:26.960]  children are enslaved and abused. I knew we needed all hands on deck. Businesses and hospitals to
[01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:32.800]  spot it, our great law enforcement to stop it, and tougher penalties to punish it. We're taking on
[01:28:32.800 --> 01:28:38.560]  Medicaid fraud, pill mills, gangs, and more, and all fight to put human trafficking monsters where
[01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:46.160]  they belong behind bars. Pam Bondi, our attorney general. Well, now she's fighting to keep them
[01:28:46.160 --> 01:28:50.800]  where they don't belong, in the Oval Office and the head of the FBI and other places like that.
[01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:55.760]  Also, can I just point out what an absurd time we live in when a selling point for the person
[01:28:55.760 --> 01:28:59.840]  you're going to elect is they'll actually be tough on child predators and traffickers.
[01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:05.760]  Exactly. Not like these other guys. Yeah, not like she is now even. So again,
[01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:12.000]  Bannon had been advising Epstein on how to handle these allegations of being a serial pedophile.
[01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:19.520]  He recommended he hire Wichita lawyers to hire and when to lie low and when he should or lie
[01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:26.880]  high. He lied high and low about everything, didn't he? And when he should jump on an opening
[01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:32.560]  to push his narrative. He said, first we need to push back on the lies, then crush the pedo
[01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:37.360]  trafficking narrative. Crush that, right? It's just a narrative, right? We don't have to worry
[01:29:37.360 --> 01:29:44.320]  about it. Then rebuild your image as a philanthropist. Oh, there you go. That's
[01:29:44.320 --> 01:29:49.840]  Steve Bannon advising Jeffrey Epstein. That was five months after the Miami Herald series exposed
[01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:57.440]  how prosecutors had ignored evidence of his crimes. And so three million pages have revealed,
[01:29:57.440 --> 01:30:01.600]  for the first time, the extent of Bannon's efforts to advise Epstein when many of his friends were
[01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:07.600]  abandoning him. In the six months before Epstein was arrested and charged, Bannon's name appears
[01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:14.800]  nearly every day in these files because the two men were constantly exchanging texts. So again,
[01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:20.400]  just remember Bannon betrayed MAGA with the We Build the Wall stuff. He got convicted of that.
[01:30:20.400 --> 01:30:27.680]  He went to jail for that. Trump pardoned him. And then he gets out and he betrays morals decency,
[01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:37.360]  reprehensibly aiding Epstein. He's going to do PR for him, telling lies for him. And all this is
[01:30:37.360 --> 01:30:44.800]  now he's using this notoriety. He knows that he can do whatever he wishes and the MAGA cult will
[01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:51.840]  still pay attention to him, just like they do to Trump. So he's going to use this notoriety to push
[01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:57.920]  his film that he's putting together. And no penalty at all for him. Again,
[01:31:00.400 --> 01:31:03.600]  when you look at people like Bannon, Dershowitz, Trump,
[01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:12.080]  Bondi, it's disgusting to see what they are getting away with. So one person writes, it says,
[01:31:12.080 --> 01:31:17.360]  saying it's about, quote, how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably leaked.
[01:31:18.320 --> 01:31:24.240]  Who knew, right? I think we always knew that was the case. Well, Bannon told Epstein that Trump
[01:31:24.240 --> 01:31:27.760]  should be removed via the 25th Amendment during his first term. Think about that.
[01:31:29.280 --> 01:31:33.840]  Now he's pushing, as I pointed out the other day, a third term. So you have the 25th Amendment,
[01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:39.040]  says you can remove a president, how to remove a president that is not fit for office
[01:31:40.240 --> 01:31:45.840]  mentally. That was in 2018. Bannon wanted to use the 25th Amendment against Trump.
[01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:51.680]  And now he's talking about third term, which is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment.
[01:31:52.720 --> 01:31:58.960]  But he's going to find ways to ignore the 22nd Amendment and keep Trump in forever.
[01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:03.600]  So 10 years before he wants him to run again for a third term,
[01:32:04.160 --> 01:32:10.880]  he was saying the guy wasn't mentally fit for office. Can you trust anything that Steve Bannon
[01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:18.560]  says? You'd be a fool to trust anything that he has to say. And so Marjorie Taylor Green says,
[01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:25.120]  Steve Bannon went to jail for Trump, but back on 1-1-2019, he was texting with Epstein about
[01:32:25.120 --> 01:32:30.960]  the 25th Amendment. There's no excuse for having such a friendly relationship with Epstein post
[01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:36.800]  conviction. Let me just say, Marjorie Taylor Green is wrong about that. Steve Bannon didn't
[01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:42.560]  go to jail for Trump. He went to jail because of his hubris. I'm not going to go testify
[01:32:42.560 --> 01:32:49.840]  the January 6th people. I don't have to. I'm too big to do that. Well, you'll go to jail if you
[01:32:49.840 --> 01:32:55.120]  don't do that. You can go testify and not say anything. You can plead the fifth, but he was too
[01:32:55.120 --> 01:33:04.400]  arrogant, too filled with hubris to do that. MAGA hopeful in Texas, Don Huffins, is under a lot of
[01:33:04.400 --> 01:33:12.560]  pressure because he purchased the Zorro Ranch that was owned by Epstein, 7,600 acre property
[01:33:13.120 --> 01:33:19.680]  in New Mexico. He set up a corporation to buy it. This guy, Don Huffins, who has a lot of money,
[01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:26.160]  is running for office in Texas, and Republicans in Texas are attacking him. Why did you buy that?
[01:33:28.480 --> 01:33:32.800]  Why do you have that ranch? Are you going to open it up for investigations? Again, this is the place
[01:33:32.800 --> 01:33:41.920]  where he was going to be ceding his DNA to the world and a lot of really horrible allegations
[01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:50.720]  about what was going on there. So the DOJ may have released only 2% of the Epstein files that
[01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:57.120]  they've got based on previous information of what they said that they had. A lot of people are saying,
[01:33:57.120 --> 01:34:01.920]  what's going to go on with this investigation? Are we ever going to have an investigation of
[01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:09.120]  stuff? Even the big Lebowski, even the dude, is questioning Cash Patel on this. Are you going to
[01:34:09.120 --> 01:34:18.560]  find these guys or do you have any promising leads? Leads? Yeah, sure. I'll just check with the
[01:34:18.560 --> 01:34:24.880]  boys down at the crime lab. They got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working
[01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:42.160]  in shifts. Now that was AI. That was Cash Patel and Jeff Bridges as the dude and the big Lebowski.
[01:34:42.160 --> 01:34:47.360]  I think Cash Patel needs to take another look down in that toilet. Remember this scene from
[01:34:47.440 --> 01:34:48.240]  the big Lebowski?
[01:34:56.240 --> 01:35:02.240]  Where's the money, Lebowski? We want that money, Lebowski. Bunny says you're good for it.
[01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:09.840]  Where's the money, Lebowski? Where's the money, Lebowski? Where's the fucking money?
[01:35:10.400 --> 01:35:24.560]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion
[01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:30.720]  really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:36.960]  called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a
[01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:43.760]  nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[01:35:44.320 --> 01:35:49.520]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:55.280]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[01:35:55.280 --> 01:36:02.320]  she needs to reach her God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[01:36:02.320 --> 01:36:08.960]  of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[01:36:08.960 --> 01:36:16.480]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a
[01:36:16.480 --> 01:36:22.720]  child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[01:37:03.680 --> 01:37:07.760]  It's pretty nasty stuff, but he needs to take another look because there's a lot of information
[01:37:07.760 --> 01:37:12.720]  there that hasn't been released. UK-based broadcaster Channel 4 News reported the
[01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:18.400]  internal emails seen by its journalist show federal investigators expected to process between
[01:37:18.480 --> 01:37:23.920]  20 and 40 terabytes of data seized from Epstein's properties, including his Florida mansion,
[01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:28.960]  his New York townhouse, and his private island. The broadcaster added that these emails between
[01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:35.920]  investigators discussed the data totaling up to 50 terabytes from the earliest stages back in June
[01:37:35.920 --> 01:37:42.080]  of 2020. Another internal email from 2025, the report continued, officials said that they were
[01:37:42.080 --> 01:37:48.240]  looking at approximately 14 and a half terabytes of archived data. So the most recent tranche of
[01:37:48.240 --> 01:37:54.080]  three and a half million Epstein documents totaled more than 300 gigabytes, only about 2%
[01:37:55.040 --> 01:38:00.560]  of what they were talking about that they had. And that was just last year. They claimed that
[01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:04.720]  six million pages were identified, including duplicates. They released over three million,
[01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:11.200]  said the broadcaster, which is Channel 4 News in the UK. Both those numbers are tiny compared to
[01:38:11.200 --> 01:38:16.000]  the amount collected according to today's emails. Many files are too large to open.
[01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:21.920]  There are many files that are completely invisible to us, said one email. Another investigator said,
[01:38:21.920 --> 01:38:26.640]  imagine if we had seized the papers from approximately 100,000 filing cabinets.
[01:38:27.440 --> 01:38:34.080]  Then that all just got dumped in one big pile. Documents that had multiple parts stapled together
[01:38:34.080 --> 01:38:38.640]  got separated, and then any of those documents that was larger than 100 pages couldn't be opened.
[01:38:39.280 --> 01:38:43.520]  Well, that's what we have. So they're pushing that back and forth. So a couple of things about this.
[01:38:43.520 --> 01:38:50.000]  First of all, notice that in the UK, they're far more concerned about this than here in America.
[01:38:50.000 --> 01:38:55.280]  There have actually been people who have been fired, people who have lost their jobs, the man
[01:38:55.280 --> 01:39:01.840]  formerly known as Prince Andrew. They've had a lot of consequences in the UK and in Europe, basically
[01:39:02.480 --> 01:39:06.400]  very little consequences, certainly none for politicians here in the United States,
[01:39:06.400 --> 01:39:11.440]  not for Trump, not for the Clintons, not for anybody else along those lines.
[01:39:12.160 --> 01:39:19.760]  And how are they manipulating this? It truly is amazing to see this latest tactic that they've
[01:39:19.760 --> 01:39:24.400]  done. They put out a big list, and some people emailed me and said, hey, look, Alex Jones is on
[01:39:24.400 --> 01:39:33.120]  the list and Tucker Carlson. They have Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Elvis, Cher, Alex Jones,
[01:39:33.360 --> 01:39:42.480]  all these entertainers. But the bottom line is that this goes on and on and on this list.
[01:39:43.120 --> 01:39:48.160]  This is just anybody that they said anything at all about, not anybody that they had a dealing
[01:39:48.160 --> 01:39:55.600]  with. And what this really is, folks, this is Pam Bondi and her haystack approach. If you want to
[01:39:55.600 --> 01:40:02.640]  find the needle, what she does is just start throwing pile after pile of hay, one bale after
[01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:08.480]  the other. This is her way of bailing out Trump, massive amounts of hay to hide the needle.
[01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:18.480]  And so I've seen government officials do this in the past, right? They can't, if they have to
[01:40:18.480 --> 01:40:23.600]  release the information, they give you so much information, so much of it that is irrelevant.
[01:40:24.240 --> 01:40:28.960]  They use that as a way to hide what they don't want you to see. And that's exactly
[01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:36.240]  what Pam Bondi is doing as a matter of fact. It also allows them to redact, to keep back a bunch
[01:40:36.240 --> 01:40:42.560]  of things. You've been given three million, a lot of that is duplicates, but you're given three
[01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:47.040]  million pieces of paper to look through. And all of a sudden you're not thinking, well, what else
[01:40:47.040 --> 01:40:51.600]  is there? Surely they've dumped it all. It's three million items, right? That's right. But we've gotten
[01:40:51.600 --> 01:40:56.480]  no way of knowing. Keep the relevant stuff and just snow job people with things. As a matter of
[01:40:56.480 --> 01:41:03.440]  fact, this is another AI thing of baby Trump talking about the names out there. On the Epson
[01:41:03.440 --> 01:41:06.800]  files, you talk about Democrats who were in there. Elon Musk was also in there and so was your
[01:41:06.800 --> 01:41:11.440]  Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and correspondents that he had with him. Did you read those new files
[01:41:11.440 --> 01:41:16.880]  that were published by the Department of Justice? I have a lot of things I'm doing. I'm really busy.
[01:41:16.880 --> 01:41:22.160]  I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise,
[01:41:22.240 --> 01:41:27.280]  it would have been major headlines. A lot of women who are survivors of Epstein's are unhappy
[01:41:27.280 --> 01:41:31.760]  with those redactions that came out. Some of them entire witness interviews are totally blacked out.
[01:41:31.760 --> 01:41:35.280]  Do you think that they should be more transparent? They thought they released too much. You know,
[01:41:35.280 --> 01:41:41.760]  I heard that and you tell me something else. I think it's really time for the country to get
[01:41:41.760 --> 01:41:49.120]  onto something else. Now that nothing came out about me other than it was a conspiracy against
[01:41:49.120 --> 01:41:54.960]  me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it's time now for the country to
[01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:58.960]  maybe get onto something else. What would you say to people who feel like they haven't gotten justice,
[01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:03.280]  Mr. President? Something that people care about? What would you say to CNN? What would you say to
[01:42:03.280 --> 01:42:08.400]  the survivors who feel like they haven't gotten justice? You are the worst reporter. CNN has no
[01:42:08.400 --> 01:42:13.120]  ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you
[01:42:13.120 --> 01:42:17.840]  smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face. I'm asking you
[01:42:17.840 --> 01:42:22.000]  about survivors. You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth
[01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:27.680]  and you're a very dishonest organization and they should be ashamed of you.
[01:42:29.040 --> 01:42:33.920]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute and I want
[01:42:33.920 --> 01:42:40.560]  you to hear about love, generosity and compassion. We say those words all the time and they sound
[01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:47.040]  good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into
[01:42:47.040 --> 01:42:53.520]  action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who doesn't
[01:42:53.520 --> 01:43:00.800]  know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn or if there's any hope at all. And while
[01:43:00.800 --> 01:43:08.000]  we're all busy, life keeps moving forward. But that child is waiting. This is where you come in
[01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:14.000]  with Compassion International. You have the chance to change a child's future, not just with words,
[01:43:14.080 --> 01:43:20.400]  not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education and hope through
[01:43:20.400 --> 01:43:27.840]  local churches and people already in their community. Put your words into action and join me.
[01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:36.080]  Introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.

[01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:12.000]  app today. Yeah, yeah. Now, of course, that was an actual audio of an exchange there and they put
[01:44:12.560 --> 01:44:17.680]  words in the mouths of babes. But when you look at what he's saying, yeah, we've given you so
[01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:22.880]  much information. Here's this list, for example, Alex Jones and right underneath him is Janice
[01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:32.240]  Joplin. Is that obscuring stuff or what? We can see through this. This is a joke. It's disgusting.
[01:44:32.240 --> 01:44:36.720]  As a matter of fact, it's kind of interesting. I've seen a couple of things from John Cleese
[01:44:37.360 --> 01:44:43.680]  in support of Thomas Massey. Go get him, Massey. That's coming from John Cleese. He knows a joke
[01:44:43.680 --> 01:44:50.800]  when he sees it. And this stuff is a disgusting joke. They got Thomas Massey right there next
[01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:56.400]  to Ghislaine Maxwell. Yeah, they're talking about Thomas Massey. This is an absolutely pointless
[01:44:56.400 --> 01:45:03.760]  cache motel right underneath him, Ron Paul. Over and over again, Ronald Reagan and then Brett
[01:45:03.760 --> 01:45:10.240]  Ratner, who is the guy who directed Melania, a friend of Epstein and somebody who had been
[01:45:10.240 --> 01:45:17.920]  accused multiple times of sexual harassment. And so again, it's just another cover-up tactic
[01:45:18.640 --> 01:45:25.440]  by the queen of smear, Pam Bondi, the queen of deception. It just keeps going. Marjorie Taylor
[01:45:25.440 --> 01:45:30.720]  Green is listed in there as well. Hundreds of names, politicians, celebrities, historical
[01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:36.320]  figures, deceased individuals and others. Again, yeah, we're supposed to believe that there's
[01:45:37.120 --> 01:45:44.160]  something, some connection between Elvis and Jeffrey Epstein. So the paper trail bombshell
[01:45:44.160 --> 01:45:52.640]  moment that Epstein's former butler tried to sell the Little Black Book. The butler tried to do it,
[01:45:53.520 --> 01:46:01.120]  but again, the FBI stopped him. The FBI, the feds who are blocking investigation. So he tried,
[01:46:01.120 --> 01:46:05.840]  he thought it was somebody that wanted to report on this and he was going to sell them
[01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:13.440]  Epstein's Little Black Book of names, real names, for $50,000. They hand him the money
[01:46:13.440 --> 01:46:17.840]  and then they arrest the guy and then they cover up the information. Alfredo Rodriguez,
[01:46:17.840 --> 01:46:21.520]  who worked for the pedophile in his Palm Beach mansion, thought that he was dealing with a
[01:46:21.520 --> 01:46:28.240]  victim's lawyer when he was actually talking to the FBI. So rather than use this to help the victims,
[01:46:28.240 --> 01:46:33.920]  rather than use this to expose the perpetrators, he was handing it to the federal agency that's
[01:46:33.920 --> 01:46:41.200]  been tasked to block the investigation. In the covert 45-minute recording from November of 2009,
[01:46:41.200 --> 01:46:46.720]  Rodriguez claims the book listed underage girls allegedly procured by Ghislaine Maxwell.
[01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:51.360]  And again, the victim's lawyers would want this kind of information, but
[01:46:52.000 --> 01:46:58.640]  not the FBI. How pathetic they are. It's truly amazing. It took place two years after the FBI
[01:46:58.640 --> 01:47:05.280]  demanded that he turn this over, that any documents that he might have obtained while he was working
[01:47:05.280 --> 01:47:09.280]  for Epstein. And of course, they're demanding that they be turned over, not because they want to
[01:47:09.920 --> 01:47:14.000]  put that out, but because they want to cover it up. Same way they're doing with the shootings in
[01:47:14.000 --> 01:47:21.280]  Minnesota. He also alleged that Ghislaine would go to Eastern countries in Europe to find girls for
[01:47:21.280 --> 01:47:26.880]  Epstein. And also the kind of girls that Donald Trump prefers, right? Eastern European women.
[01:47:27.920 --> 01:47:33.520]  So he admitted that he stole the book while working for Epstein between 2004 and 2005. He
[01:47:33.520 --> 01:47:39.520]  alleged that he once saw Maxwell running a database filled with images of minors
[01:47:40.480 --> 01:47:47.040]  who were nude, of course. And so he said there were naked girls from Sweden, from Romania,
[01:47:47.040 --> 01:47:54.000]  from Czechoslovakia, from Brazil, all minors, all them young girls, teenagers, many of them with
[01:47:54.000 --> 01:48:00.080]  braces. When he asked who created the book, he said, well, Epstein himself. Rodriguez claimed
[01:48:00.080 --> 01:48:04.880]  that he kept the book as an insurance policy because he feared Epstein would make him disappear
[01:48:04.880 --> 01:48:10.880]  or harm him. He was arrested by the FBI for obstruction, and they said the book would be
[01:48:10.880 --> 01:48:16.160]  extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, but they covered it up. The current
[01:48:16.160 --> 01:48:24.240]  whereabouts of the book remains unknown. They got rid of it. That's the FBI. Just like the
[01:48:24.880 --> 01:48:32.480]  the flight information about flight 800, the radar tapes and things like that. Rodriguez was
[01:48:32.480 --> 01:48:39.840]  jailed in 2012 for 18 months. Now listen to this. He got 18 months, which was the same sentence
[01:48:40.640 --> 01:48:47.920]  that Alex Azar, who was later picked to be Trump's labor secretary, he served the same amount of time
[01:48:48.720 --> 01:48:56.560]  for having Jeffrey Epstein's book and trying to sell it to somebody. He served the same
[01:48:56.560 --> 01:49:02.000]  amount of time as Jeffrey Epstein served for the crimes that he did. Jeffrey Epstein served 18
[01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:07.920]  months. Now what I don't know is whether or not this guy got day release like Epstein did. Epstein
[01:49:07.920 --> 01:49:14.880]  would come back and just sleep in the cell like the town drunk on Mayberry, but this guy got the
[01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:22.560]  same sentence as Jeffrey Epstein. Just think about that. This is how corrupt our government is.
[01:49:22.560 --> 01:49:27.760]  That's the key thing, the key takeaway from all this stuff. He died at the age of 60 from cancer.
[01:49:28.800 --> 01:49:37.680]  So again, same sentence, but not clear whether or not he got released every single day, just like
[01:49:37.680 --> 01:49:48.960]  Jeffrey Epstein did. Hillary Clinton has gotten involved in this. As a matter of fact,
[01:49:49.840 --> 01:50:02.000]  she was interviewed by the BBC. The BBC asked her some questions about this and she said,
[01:50:02.000 --> 01:50:07.040]  oh, it's all Trump, right? You keep saying that you didn't know Jeffrey Epstein,
[01:50:07.040 --> 01:50:13.120]  but your husband flew with him 26 times to party butt naked in the island with some girls.
[01:50:14.080 --> 01:50:19.360]  And most people say that you killed Jeffrey Epstein to silence him, just like the other
[01:50:19.360 --> 01:50:25.440]  hundreds of mysterious deaths surrounding you and your husband. So are you sure you
[01:50:25.440 --> 01:50:31.520]  didn't know Jeffrey Epstein? Okay, look, just because I killed the guy doesn't mean I knew the
[01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:38.720]  guy. Can you please stop asking me questions about Jeffrey Epstein? A lot of reporters can
[01:50:38.720 --> 01:50:44.240]  go missing. Accidents do happen. People shoot themselves in the back three times, if you know
[01:50:44.240 --> 01:50:52.480]  what I mean. Anyway, let's talk about something else. Of course, that was not the original BBC
[01:50:52.480 --> 01:50:59.680]  interview. That was also AI. But that's the truth, probably much more truthful than anything that
[01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:04.160]  Hillary Clinton said. But she's saying, you know, they're trying to drag us into this as if she had
[01:51:04.160 --> 01:51:07.920]  nothing to say about it. Now she's saying, yeah, Bill and I are perfectly happy to talk to anybody
[01:51:07.920 --> 01:51:14.720]  about this and tell them everything about it. After they had to, they brought charges of contempt
[01:51:14.720 --> 01:51:20.400]  against them, just like they did against Steve Bannon. And that's what got them to testify. Now
[01:51:20.400 --> 01:51:24.080]  she's like, oh yeah, we just want to tell everybody everything about it. And we're all above board.
[01:51:24.080 --> 01:51:29.440]  And of course, Trump is saying he has absolutely nothing to do with any of this stuff. Even though
[01:51:29.440 --> 01:51:35.120]  he and Clinton partied with this guy for years, Trump for 15 years. Marjorie Taylor Green says
[01:51:35.120 --> 01:51:41.840]  Trump yelled at her not to release the Epstein files. He said, my friends will get hurt. Yeah,
[01:51:41.840 --> 01:51:47.760]  you know, friends like the Clintons actually, but he's playing that left right, red blue game now.
[01:51:48.960 --> 01:51:53.920]  We're getting pressure from the speaker. Take your name off of this discharge petition. And we're
[01:51:53.920 --> 01:51:59.360]  like, we're talking about the Epstein files. This is the ultimate promise. This is the ultimate way
[01:51:59.360 --> 01:52:04.640]  to provide transparency, said Marjorie Taylor Green. This is the ultimate way to expose a whole
[01:52:04.640 --> 01:52:12.160]  criminal cabal of rich, powerful elites that I believe control everything. And so that's her
[01:52:12.160 --> 01:52:18.800]  perspective on all this stuff. When is she going to come to the realization that if this is a rich,
[01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:26.240]  powerful cabal of pedophiles that control everything and they're friends of Donald Trump,
[01:52:27.200 --> 01:52:32.400]  when she going to connect the dots to say, well, therefore, therefore, she's made of wood, right?
[01:52:33.120 --> 01:52:37.600]  Therefore, Trump is a part of the cabal. They're his friends. He said they're his friends. He's
[01:52:37.600 --> 01:52:44.960]  protecting the powerful elite pedophile rings that you believe exist and have believed exist. And yet
[01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:50.480]  he wants to protect them. They're his friends. And yet you do not want to attribute that to him.
[01:52:50.560 --> 01:52:57.840]  We talk about Trump delusion syndrome. It truly is amazing. So she said, Trump is fighting it.
[01:52:57.840 --> 01:53:06.640]  He's fighting it. He's yelling at me through all this stuff. Again, it came out that he was the
[01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:12.480]  one who reported Jeffrey Epstein. Well, we knew that all along, right? But it wasn't because
[01:53:12.480 --> 01:53:18.480]  Trump was upset about what Epstein was doing to women and children. It was because he was upset
[01:53:18.480 --> 01:53:23.760]  because they were fighting over a piece of real estate. That's when they had the fight,
[01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:29.360]  and that's when he turned him in. It wasn't that he cared about the women and children.
[01:53:29.360 --> 01:53:35.520]  Trump was right there along with him the entire time. And so he says, Marjorie, my friends will
[01:53:35.520 --> 01:53:40.400]  get hurt, is what she's saying. She said, that's it. That's it. I mean, that's it because they're
[01:53:40.400 --> 01:53:45.520]  all in here. They're all in there. Every billionaire, the heads of state, Larry Summers,
[01:53:45.520 --> 01:53:51.440]  Peter Thiel, they're all in there, said Marjorie Teller-Green. Does that tell you something about
[01:53:51.440 --> 01:53:55.440]  Trump? Has she ever heard that expression, show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are?
[01:53:58.080 --> 01:54:03.680]  She doesn't seem to really get that, does she? If all his friends are the evil pedo elite,
[01:54:04.400 --> 01:54:11.600]  then I can tell you that's who this guy is, as a matter of fact. And so when we, I think
[01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:16.080]  Marjorie Teller-Green may be clueless as to what's going on, but Catherine Austin-Fitz is not.
[01:54:16.080 --> 01:54:21.360]  She understands exactly what is happening. So one of the things I'm concluding is,
[01:54:21.360 --> 01:54:26.320]  I think Trump was part of the operation. I don't just think he was a friend of Jeffrey.
[01:54:27.280 --> 01:54:33.600]  Looks to me more and more like he was an integral part of the operation. And if Trump was, then
[01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:38.880]  likely Lutnick was as well, not just somebody who lived next door and helped him launder money. So
[01:54:38.880 --> 01:54:43.520]  this administration is the Epstein Network. It is the Epstein Network taking control
[01:54:44.240 --> 01:54:52.320]  of the US government and ejecting its booster rocket. So by shutting down Jeffrey Epstein's
[01:54:52.320 --> 01:54:57.200]  operation, whether he's still alive or not, it doesn't matter. They're simply ejecting the
[01:54:57.200 --> 01:55:02.640]  booster rocket and moving up. The reason the Department of Justice can't prosecute the
[01:55:02.640 --> 01:55:07.840]  Epstein Network is because the Epstein Network is running the government,
[01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:12.080]  Donald Trump, the Department of Justice. They are the Epstein Network.
[01:55:13.680 --> 01:55:18.640]  That's right. As a matter of fact, you've had Jimmy Kimmel joking about the fact,
[01:55:18.640 --> 01:55:22.960]  we should call them the Trump Epstein files. Trump is trying to put his name on everything,
[01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:28.080]  the Kennedy Center, bridges, airports, all the rest of the stuff. But there's one thing that his
[01:55:28.080 --> 01:55:34.560]  name really does belong on is these documents out there. Call them the Trump Epstein files.
[01:55:35.440 --> 01:55:41.920]  Well, Katherine Austin Fitz is absolutely right. They're totally involved in all this stuff.
[01:55:42.560 --> 01:55:46.960]  And nobody has been more connected to Jeffrey Epstein than Donald Trump has.
[01:55:47.760 --> 01:55:51.760]  And it is the Trump Epstein administration or regime.
[01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:56.640]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want
[01:55:56.640 --> 01:56:03.520]  you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to
[01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:10.240]  no health care. So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors
[01:56:10.240 --> 01:56:17.600]  in their community and no money for real medical care. By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:24.880]  She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going.
[01:56:25.440 --> 01:56:32.080]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital.
[01:56:32.080 --> 01:56:38.640]  And that was impossible for her family to afford. And that is when Compassion International stepped
[01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:45.680]  in. Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated. And against all odds, she survived.
[01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:51.120]  She lived because someone just like you took action right now. Unfortunately,
[01:56:51.120 --> 01:56:56.720]  there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[01:56:57.280 --> 01:57:02.880]  Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children with the support
[01:57:02.880 --> 01:57:09.760]  that they need, critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel,
[01:57:10.320 --> 01:57:18.480]  all in Jesus' name. So help a child just like Alejandra today. You can visit Compassion.com.

[01:57:51.360 --> 01:57:56.080]  Another thing that I keep thinking about is, let's say Donald Trump is completely innocent. Let's
[01:57:56.080 --> 01:58:01.600]  say he never did anything. He was the good guy. For 15 years, right? 15 years. He partied with
[01:58:01.600 --> 01:58:07.600]  him privately. They went to beauty contest, they organized all that. But Trump didn't have anything
[01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:13.440]  to do with any of that, right? Let's say all that is true. Look at how incompetently this
[01:58:13.440 --> 01:58:19.520]  administration has handled this rollout of information to the public. That shows he is not
[01:58:19.520 --> 01:58:24.640]  capable at minimum. At minimum, he's just an idiot that's incapable of fixing the government for you.
[01:58:24.640 --> 01:58:30.480]  At minimum, he can't do what he's promised. That's the best you could say. The best you
[01:58:30.480 --> 01:58:35.520]  could say he's an incompetent idiot that has lied to the American people about what he can do for
[01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:42.000]  them. Well, it's like calling it the Trump Epstein files. It's like calling it the Trump shot. Trump
[01:58:42.000 --> 01:58:45.440]  has bragged and boasted about how that's his shot. He was the father of the vaccine and everything,
[01:58:45.440 --> 01:58:51.360]  but they consider that to be an attack on Trump for me to call it the Trump shots.
[01:58:52.480 --> 01:58:56.400]  That's the level of doublethink that is involved here with all this stuff.
[01:58:57.680 --> 01:59:02.000]  Again, it was all the narrative that you heard from Alex Jones and so many people. It was just
[01:59:02.000 --> 01:59:07.280]  the people that Trump appointed. They have deceived him. They're evil. It's all the people around
[01:59:07.360 --> 01:59:12.560]  Jeffrey Epstein. They're all Trump's friends and everything, but Trump doesn't have anything to do
[01:59:12.560 --> 01:59:17.040]  with it. Trump's not responsible for the people that he picked and had running his regime. He's
[01:59:17.040 --> 01:59:22.640]  not responsible for any of this stuff. Just as you were saying, Travis, we've said that before about
[01:59:23.280 --> 01:59:29.280]  the anger that the Trump administration, people like War Pete have of these people who put out
[01:59:29.280 --> 01:59:36.000]  the video that said, you have a responsibility as a member of the armed forces to not follow
[01:59:36.000 --> 01:59:40.000]  illegal orders. The Trump administration could have easily come out and said,
[01:59:40.560 --> 01:59:46.800]  we haven't given any illegal orders. To their shame, Mark Kelly and the other person that said,
[01:59:46.800 --> 01:59:51.920]  I can't remember her name. She's a retired CIA. When they were pressed, so what illegal orders has
[01:59:51.920 --> 01:59:58.160]  Trump put out? They couldn't think of any. Couldn't think of any. I mean, I can't think of any legal
[01:59:58.160 --> 02:00:03.040]  orders he's put out in terms of the Venezuela stuff. Every aspect of it has been illegal
[02:00:03.040 --> 02:00:10.640]  and criminal by US law, by constitutional law, by Pentagon rules that they have and
[02:00:10.640 --> 02:00:15.040]  by international law as well. They've broken all of those things. What did they do that's legal?
[02:00:15.040 --> 02:00:20.320]  I can't think of a single thing. Yet they didn't defend themselves by saying, well, we didn't do
[02:00:20.320 --> 02:00:25.760]  anything illegal. That would have been the easiest thing to do. Instead, this is a thing of their own
[02:00:25.760 --> 02:00:30.960]  making. You can look at the Trump Epstein files and you can actually call them the Trumpenstein
[02:00:30.960 --> 02:00:37.520]  files because this is a Frankenstein monster of his own making. Because he decided that he was
[02:00:37.520 --> 02:00:45.280]  going to try to cover it up at all costs and basically he got it all over himself. It was a
[02:00:45.280 --> 02:00:49.920]  pile of excrement that he not only stepped in, but he jumped up and down until he splashed it
[02:00:50.480 --> 02:00:56.640]  all over himself. Well, there may be no consequences for Trump or Lutnik or any of the
[02:00:56.640 --> 02:01:02.800]  people in the Trump regime, but when we look at other people, they are getting a lot of consequences
[02:01:02.800 --> 02:01:10.000]  and I think it's interesting to see this because you see who is in the pecking order, who's getting
[02:01:10.000 --> 02:01:13.440]  punished and who isn't. It's kind of like who you're allowed to talk about and who you're not
[02:01:13.440 --> 02:01:19.200]  allowed to talk about. That's who's running the thing. This is another indication that Trump and
[02:01:19.200 --> 02:01:23.360]  his people are the ones who are running this because they're not paying any penalty for this
[02:01:23.360 --> 02:01:28.960]  and yet we have people all over the place, prominent figures, people who are very successful,
[02:01:28.960 --> 02:01:36.160]  very rich, are paying a big price. One guy, a physician, longevity expert, he's had to resign
[02:01:37.360 --> 02:01:47.200]  because he was writing text messages that were very crude to Epstein and so he has been purged.
[02:01:47.200 --> 02:01:54.080]  Interestingly enough, this guy was going to be hired by Barry Weiss at CBS as a consultant
[02:01:54.720 --> 02:01:58.240]  and they still haven't said that they're not going to keep him as a consultant. Then, of course,
[02:01:58.240 --> 02:02:05.360]  we got the sultan, Suleyman, the sultan of slime, who was talking about he loved the torture video
[02:02:05.360 --> 02:02:12.720]  that Epstein gave him. Epstein told the sultan in one 2013 email, you are one of my most trusted
[02:02:12.720 --> 02:02:19.520]  friends in the very sense of the word. You have never let me down. Thank you, my friend. I am off
[02:02:19.520 --> 02:02:27.200]  to sample a fresh 100% female Russian at my yacht, is what he said. This is also the guy who's talking
[02:02:27.200 --> 02:02:33.040]  about torture videos. Then you got Sarah Ferguson, who's simply the wife of the man who was formerly
[02:02:33.040 --> 02:02:41.280]  known as Prince Andrew and she's had to shut down her charity because of the taint of Epstein.
[02:02:42.240 --> 02:02:49.840]  She had gotten a 15,000 pound loan to pay off debts from him at one point in time. She said,
[02:02:51.200 --> 02:02:56.880]  I abhor pedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and I know that this was a gigantic
[02:02:56.880 --> 02:03:02.880]  error of judgment on my behalf. Yeah, but hey, I needed the money. At the time she got that,
[02:03:02.880 --> 02:03:09.120]  it was known that he was a pedophile, but she goes to him for money anyway. And then you got
[02:03:09.120 --> 02:03:15.040]  Larry Summers, of course, the former Harvard University president. He was the treasury secretary
[02:03:15.040 --> 02:03:21.440]  under Bill Clinton, another, you know, Clintons and Larry Summers and Epstein, all these people.
[02:03:21.440 --> 02:03:28.080]  He was on the board, by the way, of Open AI. This is another sleazy cesspool. Sam Altman,
[02:03:28.080 --> 02:03:33.280]  who the first time I saw Sam Altman, he was out there hawking this big eyeball thing that you
[02:03:33.280 --> 02:03:40.000]  look into and he would get your biometric identity looking at your retina. And so you
[02:03:40.000 --> 02:03:45.360]  let him create a database and he would give you a little bit of crypto coin and some crypto thing
[02:03:45.360 --> 02:03:49.680]  that he had just invented. What a totally worthless thing. This guy's going around shopping around
[02:03:49.680 --> 02:03:55.440]  trying to create a global database of everybody from biometric stuff that he can then sell to
[02:03:55.440 --> 02:04:01.520]  governments. And he was the one who worked his way in and took over Open AI, which was supposed
[02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:10.000]  to be a not-for-profit organization. He's involved in all this. So again, Larry Summers is on the
[02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:18.000]  board of Open AI and senior roles in Clinton and Obama administrations. He advised Biden on economics.
[02:04:18.560 --> 02:04:24.880]  He joined the board of Open AI in 2023, advocating a light regulatory approach to AI. See, he's on
[02:04:24.880 --> 02:04:31.840]  the same page as Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, all the rest of these people. They want AI to have
[02:04:31.840 --> 02:04:37.440]  no restrictions on it whatsoever. We've got a bunch of people from Norway, former secretary general
[02:04:37.440 --> 02:04:42.400]  of the Council of Europe, former prime minister of Norway. And then there's also a couple that
[02:04:42.400 --> 02:04:46.640]  got money and they have some criminal charges being brought against them. That's in Norway.
[02:04:46.640 --> 02:04:54.720]  You got a guy named Brad Karp, no relation to the volunteer crook. Karp thanked Eipstein for hosting
[02:04:54.720 --> 02:05:02.480]  him for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Karp was told by Eipstein, you're always welcome and there's
[02:05:02.480 --> 02:05:07.600]  going to be many more nights of this type of thing. So you look at this and this guy gets canceled
[02:05:08.640 --> 02:05:15.680]  because of an email saying we had a once-in-a-lifetime night at that party and yet Trump
[02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:21.680]  partied with him for 15 years and there's been no consequences for Donald Trump.
[02:05:22.480 --> 02:05:29.040]  You've got people involved in the UN, people like that have been fired. Former French cultural
[02:05:29.040 --> 02:05:35.600]  minister and his daughter have been investigated for tax fraud because of things that have come
[02:05:35.600 --> 02:05:41.680]  out from that. And of course in the UK, Peter Mandelson, a former US ambassador, or ambassador
[02:05:41.680 --> 02:05:47.760]  to the US from the UK, and there was some financial information, insider trading information that he
[02:05:47.760 --> 02:05:54.880]  gave to Eipstein. So not only did he get thrown out of politics because of the stench of Eipstein,
[02:05:54.880 --> 02:06:01.040]  but he's looking at criminal prosecutions that are there. And not only him, but the guy that
[02:06:02.000 --> 02:06:09.200]  put him in as ambassador, Morgan McSweeney, this is a second degree connection here.
[02:06:10.080 --> 02:06:15.760]  This guy put him in, in spite of some things that had come out in the past about his connections
[02:06:15.760 --> 02:06:22.160]  with Epstein. And so Morgan McSweeney is out and people are looking at Keir Starmer and saying
[02:06:22.160 --> 02:06:28.800]  Keir Starmer needs to resign. So in the UK, this is in other countries, anybody that's even
[02:06:29.600 --> 02:06:36.000]  a couple of degrees of separation from this are having effects with it, but not the Clintons,
[02:06:36.560 --> 02:06:43.280]  not Donald Trump. So Bill Clinton, whatever he does, that's fine, that just happened.
[02:06:43.280 --> 02:06:49.520]  Hillary Clinton doesn't have any penalties with that either. And she says, I never met Jeffrey
[02:06:49.520 --> 02:06:56.240]  Epstein. I met Ghislaine Maxwell once. We have these global Clinton initiatives, and she was
[02:06:56.240 --> 02:07:01.760]  there once, and I met her. And it turns out the senior editor for CNN called her on that
[02:07:02.560 --> 02:07:09.840]  in the BBC interview. He said, well, she was actually an honored guest there, invited as an
[02:07:09.840 --> 02:07:15.120]  honor. She didn't just show up and stand in line and shake Hillary Clinton's hand. She was an
[02:07:15.120 --> 02:07:20.720]  honored speaker and guest at that. So this is the way they're trying to whitewash this. But
[02:07:20.720 --> 02:07:28.960]  the interesting thing is there's been no penalty for Trump, for Bill Clinton, for Hillary Clinton,
[02:07:28.960 --> 02:07:35.040]  for Melania, in spite of the close connections that they had. Even Melania, the director of her film,
[02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:42.000]  was somebody who was close to Jeffrey Epstein. George Mitchell, a former US senator
[02:07:42.960 --> 02:07:50.160]  from Maine. He was also Bill Clinton's envoy to Northern Ireland. He was mentioned three times,
[02:07:50.720 --> 02:07:58.640]  sorry, 300 times in this. And so now he is persona non grata. And so we're seeing this over and over
[02:07:58.640 --> 02:08:06.560]  again. And yet the dog that did not bark is the penalties for Trump. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[02:08:06.560 --> 02:08:11.440]  and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want you to hear about
[02:08:11.440 --> 02:08:18.480]  Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to no health care.
[02:08:18.480 --> 02:08:25.120]  So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors in their community,
[02:08:25.200 --> 02:08:32.240]  and no money for real medical care. By the third day, her body was shutting down. She woke up and
[02:08:32.240 --> 02:08:39.760]  just long enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents
[02:08:39.760 --> 02:08:46.240]  drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital. And that was
[02:08:46.240 --> 02:08:52.800]  impossible for her family to afford. And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:59.760]  Now through Compassion, Alejandra was treated and against all odds, she survived. She lived
[02:08:59.760 --> 02:09:05.520]  because someone just like you took action. Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[02:09:05.520 --> 02:09:12.160]  just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in. Compassion International
[02:09:12.160 --> 02:09:18.640]  partners with local churches, providing children with the support that they need, critical medical
[02:09:18.640 --> 02:09:27.360]  care, plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name. So help a child
[02:09:27.360 --> 02:09:34.160]  just like Alejandra today. You can visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[02:09:48.800 --> 02:10:13.040]  The Trumps and the Clintons that are there. I think that is very, very telling. So we've seen
[02:10:13.040 --> 02:10:21.600]  people like the chief lawyer, chief counsel for Goldman Sachs. She's had to resign because
[02:10:21.600 --> 02:10:30.240]  of connections with us. We've seen the co-owner of the New York Giants being questioned, Steve Tisch.
[02:10:31.200 --> 02:10:36.800]  And I don't think there's going to be anything with that. The young fellow is so corrupt. They
[02:10:36.800 --> 02:10:43.200]  probably see that as a badge of honor. And then this guy, Casey Wasserman, who had a
[02:10:44.320 --> 02:10:51.920]  talent agency, he sent an email to Ghislaine Maxwell saying he'd like to see her in a tight
[02:10:51.920 --> 02:10:56.400]  leather outfit. I think normal people like to see her in a straight jacket.
[02:10:59.680 --> 02:11:04.400]  Not this guy. But the bottom line is there's no consequences for Trump,
[02:11:04.400 --> 02:11:08.880]  none for Bill Clinton, none for Hillary, none for Melania or the director of her film.
[02:11:08.880 --> 02:11:12.720]  No consequences for Alan Dershowitz. No consequences for Alex Acosta,
[02:11:13.520 --> 02:11:16.720]  who defended him and worked out the deals for him and continued to defend him.
[02:11:17.280 --> 02:11:22.320]  No consequences for Bill Barr and the connections that his family has had for the longest time.
[02:11:22.960 --> 02:11:29.680]  No consequences for Lucky Lutnick and no consequences for Pam Bondi or Cash Patel.
[02:11:30.640 --> 02:11:33.920]  That is the reality of what we're looking at with this, folks.
[02:11:34.640 --> 02:11:37.760]  We're going to take a quick break and when we come back, I want to talk a little bit about
[02:11:38.560 --> 02:11:45.760]  the Pentagon and their fight with Antropic and Claude AI and what it tells us really
[02:11:45.760 --> 02:11:50.960]  about the Pentagon. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
[02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:28.880]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[02:13:29.760 --> 02:13:52.480]  Well, folks, there's something I think that is very interesting in terms of what the Pentagon
[02:13:52.480 --> 02:14:01.680]  is threatening Antropic about. This is a company, their AI model, Claude, was just like people
[02:14:01.680 --> 02:14:08.080]  talking about, ByteDance's C-Dance 2.0 in terms of creating movies and things like that.
[02:14:08.080 --> 02:14:13.760]  Claude had carved out a niche for itself. They caused its stock to skyrocket. It's widely used
[02:14:13.760 --> 02:14:20.720]  for a lot of different things. Palantir had access to it. I don't know why they thought
[02:14:20.720 --> 02:14:27.200]  that Palantir would be ethical, but they were concerned about this raid in Venezuela where
[02:14:27.200 --> 02:14:33.120]  Maduro was kidnapped. And so they asked Palantir, did you use our software? Because we have an
[02:14:33.120 --> 02:14:38.640]  agreement with our company that we're not going to have it used to make weapons. We've got certain
[02:14:39.520 --> 02:14:44.560]  guardrails that we want for it. We don't want it to be a part of autonomous weapons.
[02:14:45.360 --> 02:14:49.920]  We don't want to use it for mass surveillance of Americans and other things like that, which of
[02:14:49.920 --> 02:14:55.440]  course, that is the stock and trade of Palantir. But yeah, Palantir gave them an indication that
[02:14:55.440 --> 02:15:01.440]  was what was going on. And so they started talks with Pentagon people. Pentagon people got
[02:15:01.440 --> 02:15:07.040]  furious. You're telling us that you don't want your stuff used for mass surveillance of Americans?
[02:15:07.040 --> 02:15:12.560]  You don't want to use it for autonomous killer robots? How dare you? We're going to put you
[02:15:12.560 --> 02:15:21.840]  on a list that we reserve for foreign adversaries. It's called a supply chain risk list. So if you're
[02:15:21.840 --> 02:15:30.480]  on that list, then anybody who supplies anything to the Pentagon has to make sure they don't use
[02:15:30.480 --> 02:15:35.680]  anything that you provide. So they're going to treat them as if they're from China or something
[02:15:35.680 --> 02:15:43.760]  like that. And Anthropic doesn't have a lot of business that they do with the Pentagon. They've
[02:15:43.760 --> 02:15:51.120]  got a $200 million contract, but they have revenue of over $14 billion. So that's really only about
[02:15:51.120 --> 02:15:56.000]  one and a half percent of their revenue comes directly from the Pentagon. However, this could
[02:15:56.000 --> 02:16:01.680]  have a big impact on them. I want you to think about the fact that we have a Pentagon that is so
[02:16:01.680 --> 02:16:09.760]  hell-bent on autonomous killer robots, so hell-bent on domestic surveillance that they will try to put
[02:16:09.760 --> 02:16:17.440]  out of business anybody that doesn't join them in that. And there's actually telling Axios, this is
[02:16:17.440 --> 02:16:23.680]  one guy who is a senior official at the Pentagon said, it'll be an enormous pain to disentangle
[02:16:23.680 --> 02:16:28.480]  from them, and we're going to make sure they pay a price. We're forcing our hand on this.
[02:16:28.720 --> 02:16:34.000]  And Sean Parnell, of course, saying, our nation requires that our partners be willing to help our
[02:16:34.000 --> 02:16:40.640]  warfighters win in any fight, regardless of whether it's just or not, regardless of whether it's legal
[02:16:40.640 --> 02:16:47.600]  or not, regardless of whether it is aimed domestically at Americans. Yeah, we want those
[02:16:47.600 --> 02:16:55.040]  autonomous killer robots, and we want the domestic surveillance. And so Anthropic was saying,
[02:16:55.040 --> 02:16:59.680]  we do not want to, we have certain guardrails that we have set up for our corporation,
[02:17:00.400 --> 02:17:06.800]  and we don't want an ethical concerns, and we don't want those violated, and we won't sell those out.
[02:17:06.800 --> 02:17:11.760]  So that type of a company, and look, I'm not going to make them a hero. They've got, they've been
[02:17:11.760 --> 02:17:16.880]  pretty woke in terms of things that they have been caught doing in the past, and Elon Musk
[02:17:16.880 --> 02:17:21.920]  immediately called them out on that. But I kind of say, you know, the example that they gave was,
[02:17:22.080 --> 02:17:26.320]  but I kind of say, you know, the example that they gave was they had some researchers who said,
[02:17:27.680 --> 02:17:37.280]  gave it a hypothetical situation. So you have how many lives of white men are equivalent to
[02:17:37.280 --> 02:17:41.280]  the life of one black woman. They said one black woman was more important than 23
[02:17:42.320 --> 02:17:48.240]  white men. I don't know what the entire context of that was. But certainly there's been indications
[02:17:48.240 --> 02:17:56.560]  that Anthropic and Claude are completely woke in terms of what they're doing. I just got to say,
[02:17:56.560 --> 02:18:03.920]  as offensive as that is, and as much as I dislike that, that pales in comparison to a Pentagon that
[02:18:03.920 --> 02:18:10.160]  wants to use artificial intelligence for domestic surveillance. That pales in comparison to a
[02:18:10.160 --> 02:18:17.760]  Pentagon that demands economist killer robots. That's what I'm most concerned about.
[02:18:18.320 --> 02:18:24.560]  Yeah, the other stuff is bad, but we can handle that. This is a whole new level of problem.
[02:18:25.280 --> 02:18:31.200]  And I got to say to Elon Musk, why are you not concerned about that? And the other people that
[02:18:31.200 --> 02:18:38.080]  are out there as well. It's not just his grok AI, but it's also Google and the rest of them out
[02:18:38.080 --> 02:18:44.080]  there who are doing this, Facebook and the rest of them. So they've taken a lot of criticism for
[02:18:44.080 --> 02:18:50.960]  that. But I think what it really tells us is where the Pentagon is headed. Pentagon officials
[02:18:50.960 --> 02:18:55.360]  and Anthropic executives have been locked in contentious negotiations over how the military
[02:18:55.360 --> 02:19:02.480]  can use AI, particularly in surveillance and weapons development. Surveillance without warrants,
[02:19:02.480 --> 02:19:07.680]  all that kind of stuff. Pentagon sees mass surveillance of Americans as its core mission.
[02:19:08.720 --> 02:19:12.640]  So when they talk about national security, as I said before, just understand they're talking
[02:19:12.640 --> 02:19:17.280]  about their job security. They're talking about continuity of government. They're not talking
[02:19:17.280 --> 02:19:26.960]  about safety and peace for Americans. So their terms that they have in terms internally in the
[02:19:26.960 --> 02:19:31.600]  company, they agree that they are not going to be used for the design of weapons, that they're
[02:19:31.600 --> 02:19:36.640]  not going to be used for domestic surveillance, that they're not going to facilitate violence
[02:19:36.640 --> 02:19:41.760]  or malicious cyber operations. But that's basically the mission statement of the Pentagon.
[02:19:43.120 --> 02:19:49.920]  And the federal government in general. And so again, defense officials insist the military
[02:19:49.920 --> 02:19:55.760]  AI tools must be available for all lawful purposes, even though they have some gray areas
[02:19:55.760 --> 02:20:02.320]  that rigid rules cannot anticipate. You know, like murdering shipwrecked people. You know,
[02:20:02.320 --> 02:20:10.720]  what happened in Venezuela is not a gray area. It's a violation of black letter law. That's what
[02:20:10.720 --> 02:20:24.800]  Pete and the Pentagon want. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
[02:20:40.880 --> 02:20:44.640]  The common man.
[02:20:47.920 --> 02:20:54.160]  They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
[02:20:54.160 --> 02:21:00.480]  Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[02:21:02.000 --> 02:21:05.680]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary,
[02:21:06.640 --> 02:21:11.120]  but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:21:13.280 --> 02:21:16.960]  That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[02:21:17.760 --> 02:21:23.840]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[02:21:23.840 --> 02:21:30.960]  everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
[02:21:30.960 --> 02:21:35.840]  what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
