[01:21.840 --> 01:38.000]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
[01:45.040 --> 01:48.480]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday the 1st of December,
[01:48.480 --> 01:53.920]  year of our Lord 2025. Well, today we're going to talk about, should they call it instead of
[01:53.920 --> 02:01.280]  the War Department? Maybe the Department of Murder? Because that's what War Pete is doing,
[02:01.280 --> 02:08.560]  and he is, as one analyst said, and I think is absolutely right, this is worse than a war crime.
[02:09.520 --> 02:15.840]  And many people are pointing out there is no statute of limitations. Yes, if they do it now,
[02:15.840 --> 02:21.680]  Trump can pardon Pete, but there's no statute of limitations. And Pete Hegseth, who's running
[02:21.680 --> 02:27.280]  around talking about Christian nationalism at the same time he is openly committing murder,
[02:27.280 --> 02:33.360]  what a reproach to Christ he is. Where is his accountability partner in this church they
[02:33.360 --> 02:40.640]  planted in D.C.? It's amazing. And we'll talk about the other side of this, the blowback aftermath
[02:40.640 --> 02:47.680]  when we go to these unnecessary, undeclared wars, and we create groups like this double-O group,
[02:47.680 --> 02:54.000]  the Zeroes in Afghanistan, we create James Bond-like Afghan killer teams,
[02:54.560 --> 02:59.600]  the CIA does. We're going to explain to you what that was. We'll be right back.
[02:59.600 --> 03:13.440]  Well, over the weekend, I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving. I'm going to
[03:14.000 --> 03:19.680]  come in here firing guns at these murderers. We'll talk about Thanksgiving in a moment.
[03:20.320 --> 03:26.640]  But before we get to that, this is just amazing to me. I've got to say, not in my name,
[03:27.360 --> 03:33.040]  not in the name of Christ, which again, what offends me as much as anything else is how
[03:33.600 --> 03:41.040]  Pete Hegseth wears his brand of Christianity literally on his sleeves, on his arms, on his
[03:41.040 --> 03:47.520]  chest, everywhere else. Boasts about being a Christian, a Christian warrior and the rest of
[03:47.520 --> 03:53.920]  it. This is as unchristian as you can get. You can profess Christ, you can take his name in
[03:53.920 --> 03:59.760]  vain, but you're not following him when you thumb your nose at the most basic moral principles
[04:00.320 --> 04:05.040]  that even pagans understand. Come on, Pete. And what's the matter with Doug Wilson?
[04:05.680 --> 04:11.040]  You know, I've seen Doug Wilson. He always likes to do controversial things. He talks about
[04:11.040 --> 04:16.320]  Christian nationalism in a very controversial way and always give him some grace because I
[04:16.320 --> 04:21.680]  think I understand what he's doing. He's trying to get people to rethink this, but you need to
[04:21.680 --> 04:28.160]  rethink what you're doing when the guy who is the most high profile person in your church plant
[04:28.160 --> 04:34.080]  in Washington DC is talking like this. He said, Biden coddled terrorists. We killed them.
[04:34.720 --> 04:42.560]  And this comes after a report from the Washington Post talking about the fact that in the very first
[04:42.560 --> 04:49.920]  strike that they did. And again, I am surprised that it took so long for this to kind of build
[04:49.920 --> 04:55.840]  into a resistance. To me, when I first saw that, it just amazed me. And I thought, you know, why
[04:55.840 --> 05:01.520]  isn't everybody on fire about this issue? When you allow the government to just commit murder without
[05:01.520 --> 05:09.040]  any due process, without any evidence in violation of all the protocols. And we had, was it Marky
[05:09.120 --> 05:18.880]  Mark out of New Jersey, was Marky Mark. Anyway, Mark, I met Mark at Gerald Slenty's
[05:22.000 --> 05:27.120]  Occupy Peace thing. And we talked for a while. Anyway, he explained to us because he was on a
[05:27.120 --> 05:34.640]  ship. He said, you have, they had very strict protocols about intercepting and about investigating
[05:34.640 --> 05:39.920]  these things. And they had special people that were the ones who were supposed to run this.
[05:39.920 --> 05:45.920]  And so why is all this being thrown out the window? I'll tell you why it's why I've opposed
[05:45.920 --> 05:52.080]  the war on drugs from the very beginning. Because once you violate the constitution and you say,
[05:52.080 --> 05:57.760]  why don't we don't have to follow the law anymore? You have started out on a path that is going to
[05:57.760 --> 06:05.120]  take you to this. And this isn't the end. You know, Trump cheered Duterte out of the Philippines.
[06:05.120 --> 06:10.320]  I said this on the very first day as well. Cheered him when he was doing extrajudicial murders of
[06:10.320 --> 06:15.920]  people that they suspected of being drug dealers. You think somebody is a drug dealer? Fine, just
[06:15.920 --> 06:22.480]  kill him. He's now at the International Criminal Court in The Hague because he doesn't have
[06:23.120 --> 06:28.880]  a kind of power that the US government has to keep these people out. But there may be people
[06:28.880 --> 06:33.520]  in the US government that may do this. They may do it because of political reasons. They should do
[06:33.520 --> 06:38.880]  it. They should put these people in prison. Pete Hegseth belongs in prison, not the Pentagon.
[06:39.840 --> 06:45.360]  So anyway, he defiantly dismissed a report on Friday, alleging that he ordered no survivors
[06:45.360 --> 06:50.960]  be left after the first military strike on a drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea in September.
[06:51.760 --> 06:56.640]  This is even worse than we knew from the very beginning. It's bad enough that instead of
[06:56.640 --> 07:03.360]  stopping the ships, searching them, and if they find drugs, arresting the people and trying them
[07:03.360 --> 07:10.000]  and putting them in jail. And I say, I oppose that because of the unconstitutional war on drugs.
[07:10.800 --> 07:17.760]  You know, that's the issue. Don't get so caught up in the pragmatic aspects of this. And I gotta say,
[07:17.760 --> 07:23.120]  it's not pragmatic either. The war on drugs has not stopped drugs, has it? Why do we have
[07:23.120 --> 07:28.480]  this big problem? It's only made it worse. And what it has done, it's made drugs worse.
[07:29.040 --> 07:32.480]  It's made our government worse. It's corrupted our police, our courts,
[07:33.120 --> 07:39.840]  the rule of law. That's corrupting the military and the rules of engagement. It is like a cancer
[07:39.840 --> 07:43.840]  in this society because we decided that we didn't need to follow the constitution anymore.
[07:43.840 --> 07:47.440]  When we did our first prohibition, they followed the constitution. They did a
[07:47.440 --> 07:53.760]  constitutional amendment. When Richard Nixon did this, at the behest of the UN, they even provided
[07:53.760 --> 08:00.160]  the drug schedules for him. He just dismissed the constitution completely. And so this is what that
[08:00.880 --> 08:05.200]  leads to. And it's going to continue. I mean, we've seen things like civil asset forfeiture,
[08:05.920 --> 08:10.880]  no-knock drug raids by SWAT teams, all these types of things happening here. And it's only
[08:10.880 --> 08:21.600]  going to get worse here in the United States if we don't cap this. It's just amazing how
[08:21.600 --> 08:28.080]  unashamed people like War Pete and Trump are of their mass murder. Trump is still bragging
[08:28.080 --> 08:34.400]  about what he did with COVID. It was a mass killing. But in this particular case, as bad
[08:34.400 --> 08:39.600]  as it was that they shot this boat from a distance without investigating it at all,
[08:40.320 --> 08:45.760]  what they did then was they ordered a follow-up for the people who were struggling to survive
[08:45.760 --> 08:52.720]  in the water hanging onto wreckage. They shot them again. Folks, this is the kind of thing that we
[08:52.720 --> 09:00.000]  saw with collateral murder. Remember when Wikipedia put that out? You had footage that got leaked to
[09:00.000 --> 09:05.280]  the AC-130 gunship. They could see what they were shooting. You could see what they were shooting.
[09:05.840 --> 09:10.960]  And they shot up a bunch of people, some of them, one of them at least was a photographer,
[09:11.520 --> 09:17.680]  shot these people up. Then they waited until the ambulance came and they put everybody in
[09:17.680 --> 09:24.720]  the ambulance. Then they shot up the ambulance. This is murder. And when Wikipedia put that,
[09:24.720 --> 09:31.680]  not Wikipedia, WikiLeaks, not Wikipedia for sure, but when WikiLeaks put it out,
[09:31.760 --> 09:38.000]  that I believe was the thing that marked Julian Assange for imprisonment and hopefully what they
[09:38.000 --> 09:43.840]  wanted was death. I mean, they had different ideas about how they were going to kill him,
[09:44.400 --> 09:48.960]  which also later came out. The call for the second strike was allegedly given in response
[09:48.960 --> 09:56.880]  to a verbal order from Hegseth to, quote, kill everybody. And this is just so antithetical
[09:57.840 --> 10:06.400]  to every law and every moral principle of Western society. It is absolutely amazing. As usual,
[10:06.960 --> 10:13.760]  his response is to attack the news outlets for telling you the truth. He doesn't deny it.
[10:14.400 --> 10:21.600]  He attacks the news outlets. The same tactic that Pam Bondi used when people asked her questions.
[10:21.600 --> 10:25.280]  She comes with a list of grievances against the people who are asking her questions
[10:25.840 --> 10:30.800]  and she goes on ad hominem attacks against them. We've seen Trump do that over and over.
[10:30.800 --> 10:35.840]  Yeah, that's the tactic of this corrupted minister. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest
[10:35.840 --> 10:41.040]  with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago,
[10:41.040 --> 10:47.040]  I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[10:47.040 --> 10:54.560]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just
[10:54.560 --> 11:01.920]  how much that simple act would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life
[11:01.920 --> 11:07.600]  change right in front of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets to
[11:07.600 --> 11:13.520]  getting the health care and education she needs to reach her God given full potential.
[11:13.520 --> 11:19.680]  I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[11:19.760 --> 11:27.280]  it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of
[11:27.280 --> 11:34.160]  us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life, change the world. And you also
[11:34.160 --> 11:42.160]  change yourself. You can sponsor a child today. Visit compassion.com. That's compassion.com.

[12:18.320 --> 12:24.720]  derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors who are shooting struggling people
[12:25.360 --> 12:30.960]  in the water. But he doesn't dispute the report. As we said from the beginning,
[12:30.960 --> 12:37.840]  these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be lethal kinetic strikes. The declared
[12:37.840 --> 12:44.880]  intent is to stop legal drugs. Lethal drugs, I'm sorry. Yeah, the legal drugs are even more lethal.
[12:46.080 --> 12:52.880]  They have no interest in stopping those. No, no, not at all. This is, again, he doesn't even have
[12:52.880 --> 12:59.280]  the authority to do this under the illegal unconstitutional war on drugs. There is no
[12:59.280 --> 13:05.600]  world in which he's even close to any authority to do this. And just to show you how thoroughly
[13:05.600 --> 13:12.720]  corrupt the Pentagon is, you have the Pentagon press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, said every
[13:12.720 --> 13:18.880]  lethal kinetic strike against narco-terrorists, have we established that? They are? No. Is one,
[13:18.880 --> 13:24.560]  completely legal, two, conducted against the operations of a designated terrorist organization,
[13:24.560 --> 13:30.400]  and three, in defense of vital U.S. national interest. Three lies in quick succession.
[13:31.040 --> 13:36.560]  And it's not legal at all. And just because you point at somebody and say they're a terrorist
[13:36.560 --> 13:44.160]  organization doesn't make them even an organization, let alone a terrorist organization. No proof given
[13:44.160 --> 13:52.640]  of any of this stuff. It is just what they say. This dictatorship of Trump. It's not even an
[13:52.640 --> 13:58.480]  administration. What are they administering? They're not administering affairs as stewards
[13:58.480 --> 14:05.440]  for the Constitution, which is the rightful king. No. These are usurpers who are nothing but
[14:05.440 --> 14:11.760]  liars. Trump shared footage of the September 2nd attack, the first of more than a dozen of these,
[14:12.320 --> 14:16.000]  showing the first missile hitting the speedboat and seemingly obliterating it. But the Washington
[14:16.000 --> 14:22.480]  Post claims that a total of four missiles were fired at the boat, two to kill the crew member,
[14:22.480 --> 14:30.880]  and two to sink the vessel. A person who watched a live feed of the second lethal strike, in other
[14:30.880 --> 14:35.680]  words, after they hit the boat and you got people still alive in the water, told the outlet that the
[14:35.680 --> 14:42.080]  public, quote, would be horrified if they saw the footage. They should have leaked it. Unfortunately,
[14:42.080 --> 14:48.080]  now I guess WikiLeaks is no longer operational. Who would have the guts to leak this? Would the
[14:48.080 --> 14:53.040]  Washington Post even do that? You can imagine what it would look like because we've seen this
[14:53.040 --> 14:58.880]  done before. And there wasn't any consequence for the people who did it with collateral murder.
[14:58.880 --> 15:04.000]  And I don't remember whether that was in Afghanistan or Iraq, do you? Anyway. I think it was Afghanistan.
[15:04.880 --> 15:12.240]  I think. After the September 2nd strike, protocols reportedly changed then to emphasize rescuing
[15:12.240 --> 15:19.440]  survivors. Why wasn't that a protocol to start with? Because that is what has always been our law,
[15:20.400 --> 15:26.080]  our military protocols, and the Geneva Convention and the rest of this. You know, when we look at
[15:26.080 --> 15:34.240]  this, I keep, when I read all of this, I thought back to the great escape. Remember that? You know,
[15:34.240 --> 15:39.760]  we got to make sure these people don't do this again. That was the argument that Pete and some
[15:39.760 --> 15:44.640]  of these other people were making. It was Iraq. It was Iraq where they did collateral murder.
[15:45.680 --> 15:51.920]  But you go back to the great escape and they got tired of these guys escaping over and over again,
[15:51.920 --> 15:56.560]  so they put them in one prison and then they did a big escape. And so when they rounded them up,
[15:56.560 --> 16:00.720]  spoiler alert if you haven't seen it, at the end of the movie, the guys that they capture,
[16:00.720 --> 16:05.760]  they take them out into a field and machine gun them. Is that the way, is that what we've become?
[16:06.480 --> 16:12.960]  Have we become what we fought? I say we have. The Biden administration preferred
[16:13.680 --> 16:18.560]  the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people, including dangerous cartels and
[16:18.560 --> 16:22.960]  unvetted Afghans, to flood our communities with drugs and violence, said Hegseth.
[16:24.160 --> 16:29.840]  Biden coddled terrorists and we killed them. So, Democrat lawmakers have vowed to investigate
[16:29.840 --> 16:35.440]  and prosecute anybody who gave illegal orders in response to the report from the Washington Post,
[16:35.440 --> 16:42.880]  but there is a possibility that this might happen. Because prior to this happening,
[16:42.880 --> 16:51.040]  there had already been both Republican and Democratic chairs of the Senate Armed Forces
[16:51.040 --> 16:56.080]  Committee were already asking questions about this, not happy with what is being done.
[16:57.040 --> 17:03.520]  And now with this admission, there has now been a committee like that, equivalent to that in the
[17:03.520 --> 17:09.040]  House, that is also bipartisan. So, we'll see what happens. Usually, this is all just a dog and pony
[17:09.040 --> 17:17.200]  show. But the idea that wreckage from one small boat in a vast, oh, this is their alibi, right?
[17:17.200 --> 17:21.520]  They said, well, you know, we shot the boat, we had to do multiple strikes to get all the wreckage
[17:21.520 --> 17:28.400]  out of there. So, it didn't interfere with shipping. Give me a break. These were environmentally
[17:28.400 --> 17:36.080]  conscious bombings to annihilate any. This is the only excuse that they've come up with.
[17:36.080 --> 17:41.760]  The only excuse they've come up with. And so, Seth Moulton, who's a Democrat out of Massachusetts,
[17:41.760 --> 17:49.040]  said, the idea that wreckage from one small boat in a vast ocean is a hazard to marine traffic,
[17:49.040 --> 17:58.080]  is patently absurd. Killing survivors is blatantly illegal. Mark my words, it may take some time,
[17:58.080 --> 18:03.040]  but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or for outright murder. Well,
[18:03.040 --> 18:08.560]  let's hope so. And then we've got, see, this is the problem. You give people like this reprehensible
[18:08.560 --> 18:14.880]  character, Eugene Vindman. Remember this Ukrainian who was lieutenant colonel to you, sir? That type
[18:14.880 --> 18:22.320]  of arrogant guy. Well, even he comes out, because you've got broken clock syndrome, where he's right,
[18:22.320 --> 18:28.480]  once a decade or something. He comes out and he warns Hegseth. He says, you'll be accountable
[18:28.480 --> 18:34.240]  for illegal orders that you give. This demands congressional investigation in the unredacted
[18:34.240 --> 18:39.680]  video of the strike and radio recordings of the orders given need to be shared with Congress and
[18:39.680 --> 18:45.520]  the American people immediately, he said. Well, again, you understand he's doing this simply
[18:45.520 --> 18:50.000]  because of partisan politics. I'm sure that somebody like Vindman really doesn't care
[18:50.720 --> 18:57.520]  what the issue is here, but we should all care. And I say this because, again, just like you look
[18:57.520 --> 19:02.960]  at the due process and the treatment of people who are committing crimes here, they're here illegally
[19:02.960 --> 19:11.600]  as illegal aliens. But how should we enforce the law? Should we do it in a way that opposes the
[19:11.600 --> 19:17.120]  rule of law? Or should we just unleash the government on people that we don't like,
[19:17.120 --> 19:21.040]  on people who committed crimes and just make them capital offenses or whatever?
[19:22.080 --> 19:28.640]  I just cannot get my head around how anybody excuses the kind of conduct that's being done
[19:28.640 --> 19:34.960]  by the Trump administration. Because if they treat other people this way, they will eventually treat
[19:34.960 --> 19:41.600]  you that way. And Madison understood that. He said the tools, but it's also the policies, you know,
[19:42.240 --> 19:48.640]  of war to the broad will come home and be used as instruments of tyranny domestically.
[19:49.360 --> 19:57.120]  And that will happen. We've already seen amazing things done here in America that, frankly,
[19:57.120 --> 20:03.120]  I never thought I would see. Things like the no-knock SWAT team raids and civil asset forfeiture
[20:03.120 --> 20:07.200]  where they don't even charge you with a crime, but they steal your stuff and then say, well,
[20:07.200 --> 20:12.400]  if you want to get it back, you got to sue me. So they focus on people who are poor enough that
[20:12.400 --> 20:20.400]  they can't sue them and just steal from them. This is from the war on drugs. Ted Lew, a Democrat from
[20:20.400 --> 20:27.280]  California, said, nothing in the classified legal memo or military being used to justify the
[20:27.280 --> 20:34.320]  operation authorizes a second kinetic strike against defenseless survivors. If the reports
[20:34.320 --> 20:42.000]  are true, then a war crime was committed. Also, there is generally no statute of limitations
[20:42.560 --> 20:48.160]  for war crimes, but it's worse than that. Andrew McCarthy had a great op-ed piece. He said,
[20:48.960 --> 20:55.760]  we intended the strike to be legal. It is not a defense. He's writing it in the National Review.
[20:56.720 --> 21:07.200]  And so again, I think this is a level one alert showing the character of Pete and of Trump
[21:08.000 --> 21:13.520]  and the character of this so-called administration. He said, the Explosive Washington Post report
[21:14.160 --> 21:17.360]  has been the subject of so much discussion for the last couple of days,
[21:18.160 --> 21:23.040]  says that in the first missile strike, the Trump Defense Department carried out against operatives
[21:23.040 --> 21:28.640]  of boats suspected of transporting narcotics in the high seas. Two survivors were rendered
[21:28.640 --> 21:32.880]  shipwrecked. As they clung to the wreckage, the U.S. commander ordered a second strike,
[21:32.880 --> 21:41.040]  which killed them. If this happened as described in the Post report, it was at best a war crime
[21:41.040 --> 21:47.280]  under federal law. And I say at best because as regular readers- Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[21:47.280 --> 21:52.640]  and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels.
[21:53.040 --> 21:58.320]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called
[21:58.320 --> 22:05.120]  Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea,
[22:05.120 --> 22:11.120]  sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[22:11.680 --> 22:16.880]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[22:16.880 --> 22:22.720]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[22:22.720 --> 22:28.880]  she needs to reach her God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change,
[22:28.880 --> 22:34.240]  and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me.
[22:34.880 --> 22:42.480]  That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself
[22:42.480 --> 22:48.480]  and change literally a child's life. Change the world, and you also change yourself. You can
[22:48.480 --> 22:55.120]  sponsor a child today. Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[23:18.480 --> 23:30.880]  Now, I believe the attacks on these suspected drug boats without congressional authorization
[23:30.880 --> 23:36.240]  under circumstances in which the boat operators pose no military threat to the U.S., and given
[23:36.240 --> 23:43.280]  that narcotics trafficking is defined in federal law as a crime rather than a terrorist activity,
[23:43.280 --> 23:48.720]  much less an act of war, that these acts are lawless and therefore the killings are not
[23:48.720 --> 23:58.320]  legitimate under the law or under armed conflict. And I say this, as you've heard me say over and
[23:58.320 --> 24:04.640]  over again, I don't believe that the war on drugs is legal. But even with that, they have laws and
[24:04.640 --> 24:10.720]  rules. Just like a war, you may have an unjust war that has been declared. But even within that
[24:10.720 --> 24:20.000]  unjust war, you have rules and regulations. And there is no way that, first of all,
[24:20.000 --> 24:24.800]  smuggling narcotics is not an act of terrorism. It's not an act of war, as they're saying over
[24:24.800 --> 24:32.480]  and over again. Secondly, it is not a capital offense. Again, as Mark said, they had rules.
[24:32.480 --> 24:37.600]  And I pointed that out on the first day. I said, look, they just had a large shipment that they
[24:37.600 --> 24:43.040]  interdicted, and they're still doing that in other areas. So I said, this has nothing to do
[24:43.040 --> 24:49.280]  with drugs. If this was about drugs, they would be shooting people in the water all the time,
[24:49.280 --> 24:56.400]  everywhere. But everywhere other than off the coast of Venezuela, they are interdicting the ships.
[24:57.040 --> 25:02.720]  And as Rand Paul said, about 25% of the time, the people they suspected of carrying drugs are not
[25:02.720 --> 25:09.680]  carrying drugs. So if we've had a dozen of these things, you can say about three or four of these
[25:09.680 --> 25:17.440]  were not legitimate. He says, even if we stipulate that our forces are in an armed conflict,
[25:18.160 --> 25:26.320]  the laws of war do not permit the killing of combatants who have been rendered or de combat,
[25:26.880 --> 25:31.920]  is the French phrase. I don't know why he used this thing. Literally what that means is out of
[25:31.920 --> 25:42.080]  combat, right? Out of combat, or de combat. In other words, when you surrender, right,
[25:42.080 --> 25:47.120]  unless you're somebody like Santa Anna, you give people quarter, you don't just kill everybody,
[25:47.120 --> 25:53.520]  right? And so he says, if you're out of the fighting, and that includes shipwreck,
[25:54.400 --> 26:00.400]  and struggling to swim. He said, to reiterate, I don't accept that the ship operators are enemy
[26:00.400 --> 26:04.800]  combatants. Even if one overlooks the administration has not proven that they
[26:04.800 --> 26:10.880]  are drug traffickers, has not proven that they're members of designated foreign terrorist
[26:10.880 --> 26:17.760]  organization, there is no armed conflict. They may be criminals, but they're not combatants.
[26:19.200 --> 26:23.680]  They were not shooting. As a matter of fact, they even said they turned around,
[26:23.680 --> 26:29.120]  right? So again, this is rules of engagement. If a cop shoots somebody in the back that's running
[26:29.120 --> 26:34.960]  away. That should be a crime, and sometimes it is treated that way, but it always is a crime.
[26:34.960 --> 26:40.160]  If you do it, they'll come after you, right? But it's not authorized for the police,
[26:40.160 --> 26:46.720]  nor for the military to do that. Even if you buy the untenable claim that they are combatants,
[26:47.440 --> 26:53.520]  it is a war crime to intentionally kill combatants who have been rendered unable to fight. It is not
[26:53.520 --> 27:00.880]  permitted under laws and customs of honorable warfare in order to order that no quarter be given
[27:01.520 --> 27:07.760]  to apply lethal force to those who surrender, to those who are injured, to those who have been
[27:07.760 --> 27:14.560]  shipwrecked, or who are otherwise unable to fight. And again, this is not about honorable warfare.
[27:15.120 --> 27:22.560]  This is about the Christian principles, Christian principles that defined justified war. And again,
[27:22.560 --> 27:28.960]  this is like the Nazis machine gunning down the prisoners and the great escape.
[27:30.160 --> 27:35.200]  According to the Post, two unidentified sources said prior to the September 2nd attack that killed
[27:35.200 --> 27:41.760]  at least 11 people, that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive which one source described as
[27:41.760 --> 27:48.400]  the order was to kill everybody. The operation was led by SEAL Team 6 and is directed from Fort Bragg,
[27:48.400 --> 27:54.400]  North Carolina by Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley. Admiral Bradley is said to have ordered the attack
[27:54.400 --> 28:00.240]  against the two survivors of the first strike in order to comply with Hegseth's directive to kill
[28:00.240 --> 28:06.240]  the boat's operators, that two sources told the Post. Bradley told people on the secure conference
[28:06.240 --> 28:12.560]  call that the survivors were still legitimate targets because they could theoretically call
[28:12.560 --> 28:19.200]  other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo. Hegseth responded to the Post report on X.
[28:20.000 --> 28:25.840]  It begins with the familiar pining about how all this derogatory reporting about Trump,
[28:26.880 --> 28:34.480]  and again, when we get to this Afghan thing, we're going to learn that in 2019, well,
[28:34.480 --> 28:38.320]  it was just recently. We're going to talk more about it when we get to the Zero teams.
[28:39.040 --> 28:45.440]  But remember, it was just recently released that back in 2019, also under Trump, he determined
[28:45.440 --> 28:52.880]  that as he was having a war of words with Kim Jong Un, he wanted to put surveillance devices
[28:52.880 --> 29:00.400]  in North Korea. So he authorized SEAL Team 6 and a nuclear sub and a bunch of other assets
[29:00.960 --> 29:08.640]  to put these SEALs in to put in surveillance equipment. They were seen or they thought they
[29:08.640 --> 29:16.160]  were seen by fishermen. They were flashing a light or something, and one guy just turned around and
[29:16.160 --> 29:21.520]  reflexively shot them, and then they decided that they would kill them all, stab them in their lungs
[29:21.520 --> 29:27.840]  after they killed them so their bodies would sink. And that just came out, and that was six years ago.
[29:28.800 --> 29:34.640]  And again, Trump orders these types of things. Then they pulled out. They never did plant the
[29:34.640 --> 29:41.600]  surveillance things. So he says, all this is fake news. But then he doesn't actually rebut
[29:41.600 --> 29:47.200]  any assertion in the report. He says, as we said from the beginning in every statement,
[29:47.200 --> 29:52.000]  these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be lethal kinetic strikes.
[29:52.800 --> 29:57.520]  The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco boats, and kill the narco terrorists
[29:57.520 --> 30:03.040]  who are poisoning the American people. Again, there is no authority for this,
[30:03.600 --> 30:09.520]  even under the unconstitutional war on drugs. Hex's statement, nor the explanation attributed
[30:09.520 --> 30:18.560]  to Bradley, makes any legal sense. The laws of war, as they are incorporated into our federal law,
[30:19.360 --> 30:25.520]  make lethal force unlawful if it is used under certain circumstances. It cannot be a defense
[30:25.520 --> 30:32.720]  to say, as Hexf does, that one is killed because one's objective was lethal kinetic strikes.
[30:32.720 --> 30:36.080]  No, you don't understand. I intended to commit the war crime.
[30:37.680 --> 30:40.960]  Yeah, this is like the defense. Somebody's arrested for murder and is like,
[30:40.960 --> 30:43.120]  no, I meant to do that. Oh, okay. Well, you can go then.
[30:43.120 --> 30:47.600]  Oh, we thought you didn't have any intentionality behind it. If this was an accident,
[30:47.600 --> 30:50.240]  it'd be a real problem. That's the difference between
[30:51.120 --> 30:53.520]  homicide and murder, right? Man slaughter.
[30:53.520 --> 30:58.080]  Man slaughter, thank you. Man slaughter and murder, right? Accidental or intentional?
[30:58.080 --> 31:01.440]  No, it was intentional. We did that intentionally. Oh, well, you're free to go then.
[31:02.400 --> 31:10.000]  He says if an arguable combatant has been rendered or decombat out of combat, really,
[31:11.280 --> 31:18.000]  and targeting them with lethal force cannot be rationalized, as Bradley is said to have done,
[31:18.560 --> 31:23.120]  by theorizing that it is possible at some future point that the combatant could get help
[31:23.120 --> 31:28.800]  and be able to contribute once again to enemy operations. I blame the principle that we've
[31:28.800 --> 31:34.400]  accepted since World War II that it is legitimate to target civilian populations, right? Because
[31:34.400 --> 31:44.160]  that's what this is. This is where we refuted the whole idea of Christian war. We in Western
[31:44.160 --> 31:51.760]  civilization would have uniforms, often brightly colored, to identify the combatants
[31:52.400 --> 31:58.480]  versus the non-combatants. But when somebody is wounded, when they're out of combat, even if
[31:58.480 --> 32:04.320]  they're in uniform, you treat them as you would civilians, as you would women and children.
[32:04.320 --> 32:08.000]  We don't care about that anymore. As a matter of fact, the Christians don't care about that
[32:08.000 --> 32:13.840]  anymore. The ones who support Israel and what they're doing in Gaza, you support that
[32:13.840 --> 32:18.480]  and you support the bombing of civilian populations, as we've done in World War II
[32:18.480 --> 32:23.200]  and subsequent to that. Once you say we're going to kill civilians, then what you wind up with
[32:23.840 --> 32:28.960]  is the kind of thing that we saw with collateral murder, the kind of thing we're going to see with
[32:28.960 --> 32:38.000]  this, even though they haven't come up with a name for it yet. So once you decide that you don't
[32:38.000 --> 32:44.480]  really care how many people you kill, if your intention is to kill everybody, as Pete Hegseth
[32:44.480 --> 32:51.440]  is, that's the best summation I would say of American war policy since World War II. Just kill
[32:51.440 --> 32:56.560]  everybody. That's what the Nazis did. It's what we do. You know, we've got prisoners, let's line
[32:56.560 --> 33:00.960]  them up and machine gun them. That's what the Nazis- Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to
[33:00.960 --> 33:06.560]  pause what you're doing for just one minute and I want you to hear about love, generosity,
[33:06.560 --> 33:12.240]  and compassion. We say those words all the time and they sound good. They feel good. But here's
[33:12.240 --> 33:19.280]  the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action. And right now, not later
[33:19.280 --> 33:25.840]  today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have
[33:25.840 --> 33:33.920]  a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all. And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward,
[33:33.920 --> 33:39.840]  but that child is waiting. This is where you come in. With Compassion International, you have the
[33:39.840 --> 33:46.320]  chance to change a child's future, not just with words, not with promises, but with real help that
[33:46.320 --> 33:54.320]  provides food, education, and hope through local churches and people already in their community.

[34:37.200 --> 34:43.520]  That's what we do. It really makes you think about him getting so pissed off about that. Don't
[34:43.520 --> 34:47.760]  follow any illegal orders. That's right. Well, that's why they're so upset about this, because
[34:47.760 --> 34:54.080]  they know, they know that what they're doing is illegal. They won't defend it. They won't say,
[34:54.080 --> 34:58.800]  it's not illegal, just as Lance was saying last week. He said, why didn't they just say,
[34:58.800 --> 35:03.120]  well, wait a minute. These orders that we're giving down there in Venezuela are legal.
[35:03.120 --> 35:08.880]  They never said that. Just like Pete Hegseth doesn't come back and try to explain himself.
[35:08.880 --> 35:15.600]  He attacks them for being fake news when they're telling you the truth. He doesn't deny any of the
[35:15.600 --> 35:21.040]  reporting. He just attacks reporters and saying, you just hate Trump. You have Trump derangement
[35:21.040 --> 35:25.680]  syndrome, right? You've always heard that. Look, the president gets to kill whoever he wants,
[35:25.680 --> 35:29.200]  whenever he wants. And if you don't like that, you're anti-American.
[35:29.200 --> 35:33.840]  Yeah, we know these orders are illegal. And it's treason if you tell people not to follow these
[35:33.840 --> 35:41.600]  illegal orders. The 1949 Geneva Convention was ratified by the United States. Consequently,
[35:41.600 --> 35:46.880]  Common Article 3 of the convention binds our government. It prohibits violence. This is a
[35:46.880 --> 35:53.600]  quote, violence to life and person, in particular, murder of all kinds of persons who are taking no
[35:53.600 --> 36:01.280]  active part in hostilities. Added to Common Article 3, persons taking no active part in
[36:01.280 --> 36:09.920]  hostilities include those placed or decamba by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause.
[36:09.920 --> 36:15.680]  In other words, you don't kill the people struggling in the shipwreck. You don't machine
[36:15.680 --> 36:23.440]  gun the prisoners that escaped from your Nazi prison. Christ's law is higher, however,
[36:23.600 --> 36:33.360]  and it basically says the same thing. And that's the difference between murder and war,
[36:35.280 --> 36:44.800]  war that is conducted in a justified way. I always remember the left when we would say that
[36:44.800 --> 36:49.120]  abortion is murder and it is. They'd say, well, why don't you support the death penalty? Or you
[36:49.120 --> 36:53.680]  support this war, that war, whatever. And it's like, well, if it is a justified war,
[36:54.480 --> 37:00.400]  being fought according to the principles of a just war and fought in a justified manner,
[37:00.400 --> 37:06.960]  trying to minimize casualties with the purpose of ending the aggression that was committed against
[37:06.960 --> 37:13.840]  you, not that you started. It's never justified if you started. So in a just war, you're defending
[37:14.480 --> 37:21.360]  against an act of aggression and your defense is not to just kill everybody.
[37:22.480 --> 37:29.520]  The aim is to avoid killing non-combatants and to end the hostilities as quickly as possible.
[37:30.560 --> 37:37.520]  That is the purpose of a justified war. So again, when you've got, when you support the murder of
[37:37.520 --> 37:45.440]  civilians and children for Israel, this is how we get to these types of situations. This kind of
[37:46.400 --> 37:52.800]  blind obedience to state where that state is the American government and the Pentagon,
[37:52.800 --> 37:57.520]  or whether it is the Israeli government and Netanyahu doesn't really matter.
[37:59.440 --> 38:05.120]  If this is Christian nationalism, I want no part of it. My definition of Christian nationalism
[38:06.080 --> 38:13.680]  is a culture and a government that embraces Christ's principles. That is not what this is.
[38:13.680 --> 38:22.640]  So don't talk to me about this church plant in DC. How disgusting. So again, people who have headed
[38:22.640 --> 38:28.880]  the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel and the Bush 43 administration noted that the
[38:28.880 --> 38:35.280]  Department of Defense law of war manual defines or decombat, in other words out of combat,
[38:35.840 --> 38:42.400]  to include persons otherwise incapacitated by shipwreck is specifically mentioned.
[38:43.440 --> 38:50.000]  Congress has incorporated grave breaches of this in the penal code's war crime statute
[38:50.800 --> 38:57.280]  when committed in the context of and in association with an armed conflict,
[38:57.280 --> 39:01.520]  not of international character, which is how the administration describes operations in Caribbean.
[39:02.320 --> 39:08.720]  These grave breaches include murder, defined as the act of a person who intentionally kills
[39:08.720 --> 39:13.440]  or conspires or attempts to kill or kills, whether intentionally or unintentionally,
[39:13.440 --> 39:18.560]  in the course of committing any other offense under this subsection. One or more persons taking
[39:18.560 --> 39:23.760]  no active part in the hostilities, including those placed out of combat by sickness, wounds,
[39:23.760 --> 39:30.720]  detention or any other cause. And it also mentions specifically shipwreck. But again,
[39:33.200 --> 39:42.080]  we see over and over again this guy who evidently it was Seals who did this first strike and Bradley
[39:42.080 --> 39:49.440]  who commanded them. And I got to say that War Pete, Bradley, the Seals who did this killing are all
[39:49.440 --> 39:57.280]  guilty of murder. Just like COVID, by the way. Oh, when you look at the guy who founded Seal Team
[39:57.280 --> 40:04.720]  Six, it's no shock where it's ended up. He was a complete scumbag. Yeah, utter scumbag. Terrible,
[40:04.720 --> 40:12.480]  terrible individual. Just would cheat on his wife religiously and had no interest in maintaining the
[40:12.480 --> 40:20.480]  marriage. Simply wanted to be a cowboy getting to kill who he wanted, when he wanted, wherever he
[40:20.480 --> 40:27.280]  wanted. Yeah. And that's the way they use it as a, you know, 007 license to kill people, right?
[40:28.080 --> 40:31.680]  Killing whoever he wants, whenever he wants while cheating on his wife. That definitely sounds like
[40:31.680 --> 40:39.840]  Trump. Yeah. There's a type. But again, when you look at COVID, right, this mass murder of COVID
[40:40.720 --> 40:45.440]  has gone unpunished. Nobody is paying a penalty for any of that. So why wouldn't they think they
[40:45.440 --> 40:51.200]  can get away with murder of this sort? And why wouldn't they think that if they can ignore the
[40:51.200 --> 40:58.720]  constitution with war on drugs for 50 years, why not continue to do this? Trump is undoubtedly
[40:58.720 --> 41:05.520]  going to pardon any administration officials and potential legal jeopardy. But the penalty for war
[41:05.520 --> 41:12.560]  crimes violation is life imprisonment or death if the criminal act results in death. He says,
[41:12.560 --> 41:19.600]  again, if the post report is accurate, Hegseth and his commanders changed the protocols after
[41:19.600 --> 41:25.760]  the September 2nd attack to emphasize rescuing suspected smugglers if they survived strikes.
[41:26.400 --> 41:32.320]  This is why two survivors in a subsequent strike were captured and then repatriated to their
[41:32.320 --> 41:38.560]  native countries of Colombia and Ecuador. There's been several indications that they got it wrong,
[41:38.560 --> 41:44.000]  right? These people are not even Venezuelans. And again, when we look at what is going on
[41:44.000 --> 41:50.320]  with Venezuela, there's no fentanyl coming from there. They just keep repeating that lie over
[41:50.320 --> 41:56.000]  and over again, no matter how many times people point out that has never been asserted by anybody
[41:56.000 --> 42:01.760]  in this United Nations war on drugs. Let's understand what that is. That's Richard Nixon
[42:01.760 --> 42:08.080]  put that in and it was for the UN. But it's never been asserted by any of these people who
[42:08.080 --> 42:14.640]  are engaged in this so-called activity of fighting the war on drugs. It's never been alleged that
[42:14.640 --> 42:20.880]  fentanyl was coming from Venezuela. That is a false report. These people, you know, that's fake news
[42:20.880 --> 42:27.760]  from Trump and Hegseth to put it in their terms. Under prior policy, the boat would have been
[42:27.840 --> 42:34.160]  interdicted. Again, as Mark was saying, the drugs seized the operators transferred to federal court
[42:34.960 --> 42:40.400]  for prosecution and heavy sentences. Under the Trump administration policy,
[42:40.400 --> 42:46.080]  if the operators survive our missiles, they get to go back home and rejoin the drug trade.
[42:46.880 --> 42:52.400]  But put that aside. The point is that if the administration's intent to apply lethal force
[42:52.400 --> 42:59.440]  were a defense to killing shipwrecked suspected drug traffickers, the policy would not have been
[42:59.440 --> 43:07.120]  changed. Changing the policy was an admission of guilt. Hegseth knows that he can't justify
[43:07.120 --> 43:12.880]  killing boat operators who survive attacks and he sends them home rather than detaining them
[43:12.880 --> 43:19.600]  as enemy combatants because, similarly, there is no actual armed conflict. So there is no basis
[43:19.600 --> 43:26.400]  to detain them as enemy combatants. The administration's defense can't be that we
[43:26.400 --> 43:34.720]  kill them because our plan is to use lethal force. Again, that is insane. Plus, I mean,
[43:34.720 --> 43:39.760]  if they were normal drug smugglers and they interdicted them with a boat full of drugs,
[43:39.760 --> 43:45.600]  you would think they would then, you know, arrest them and send them to a prison for a while rather
[43:45.600 --> 43:50.320]  than just throwing them back. Perhaps they weren't smuggling drugs.
[43:50.320 --> 43:53.840]  Well, that's the way when I read it. I mean, Andrew McCarthy looked at it and says,
[43:53.840 --> 43:58.240]  okay, so these people were smuggling drugs and so you're going to send them back home?
[43:59.120 --> 44:03.040]  And when I looked at that, I saw that as you're pointing out, Lance, as an admission that, well,
[44:03.040 --> 44:06.880]  we understand we got the wrong people. Yeah, the only thing you could say in
[44:06.880 --> 44:11.840]  their partial defense would be, oh, well. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to
[44:11.840 --> 44:17.760]  pause what you're doing for just one minute and I want you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in
[44:17.760 --> 44:24.320]  a remote community with very few resources and little to no health care. So when Alejandra gets
[44:24.320 --> 44:31.760]  sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors in their community and no money for real medical
[44:31.760 --> 44:38.160]  care. By the third day, her body was shutting down. She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[44:38.720 --> 44:46.640]  I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried
[44:46.640 --> 44:53.440]  everything, but she needed a private hospital and that was impossible for her family to afford.
[44:53.440 --> 45:00.400]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in. Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[45:00.400 --> 45:06.880]  and against all odds, she survived. She lived because someone just like you took action.
[45:07.520 --> 45:13.440]  Right now, unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone
[45:13.440 --> 45:20.000]  like you steps in. Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children
[45:20.000 --> 45:27.040]  with the support that they need. Critical medical care plus food, education and the hope of the
[45:27.040 --> 45:36.320]  gospel. All in Jesus' name. So help a child just like Alejandra today. You can visit Compassion.com.
[45:36.320 --> 45:38.480]  That's Compassion.com.
[46:06.400 --> 46:12.000]  Download the Moto Casino app today. Maybe they don't know if they were smuggling drugs or not
[46:12.000 --> 46:18.240]  because they blew up the boat that had them on there. So there's no evidence against them,
[46:18.240 --> 46:22.400]  like there would be in a normal interdiction. Well, that's why the Colombian president got
[46:22.400 --> 46:26.000]  into this fight with Trump. He says, all right, we're not going to send any more money to Colombia,
[46:26.000 --> 46:29.920]  which is if you want to talk about drugs, that's where the cocaine comes from. Okay,
[46:30.000 --> 46:36.480]  everybody knows that. And not fentanyl, but cocaine. But anyway, we were giving them money,
[46:36.480 --> 46:42.080]  I guess, to do the cocaine. But he got into a fight with them because one of the ships that
[46:42.080 --> 46:47.360]  was blown up killed a guy that everybody knew was a fisherman. His family, everybody else knew it.
[46:47.360 --> 46:52.240]  And I see all these accounts mocking this stuff. Yeah, he's a fisherman. He's got to have all those
[46:52.240 --> 46:58.480]  multiple outboard motors on his boat because he's going after the fast fish. Like, give me a break.
[46:59.360 --> 47:03.120]  Is that a death penalty to have too many motors on the back of your boat?
[47:04.240 --> 47:09.840]  Maybe he prefers to not spend a lot of time getting out to the fishing area. I don't know.
[47:11.040 --> 47:16.960]  Having a particular type of boat should not be a death sentence. I'm disgusted with conservatives
[47:16.960 --> 47:21.440]  who try to make these ridiculous apologies for the Trump administration.
[47:21.440 --> 47:25.120]  Meanwhile, as I said before, there is a bipartisan effort to take a look at this.
[47:25.120 --> 47:30.960]  It'll be interesting to see what happens, if anything. GOP senators joined Democrats
[47:30.960 --> 47:37.520]  in investigating Hegseth, saying that he wants to kill everybody. GOP Senator Roger Wicker,
[47:37.520 --> 47:42.720]  chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democrat Senator Jack Reed,
[47:42.720 --> 47:50.560]  announced the investigation in a joint statement. And this is not just from this.
[47:51.280 --> 47:58.080]  They had already started an investigation into these murders prior to this.
[47:58.800 --> 48:03.920]  And so senators from both parties will join forces to investigate allegations that Defense
[48:03.920 --> 48:10.480]  Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered there to be no survivors in U.S. airstrikes on alleged
[48:10.480 --> 48:16.000]  drug-running boats. The committee is aware of recent news reports and the Department of Defense's
[48:16.080 --> 48:22.880]  initial response regarding the alleged follow-on strikes on suspected narcotics vessels in the
[48:22.880 --> 48:28.800]  SouthCom area of responsibility. The committee has directed inquiries of the department,
[48:28.800 --> 48:34.080]  and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to these circumstances.
[48:34.800 --> 48:40.560]  Well, again, they all bow the knee to national security, which is the defense that these people
[48:40.560 --> 48:45.360]  throw up for each and everything that they do. So I don't really think that without an organization
[48:45.360 --> 48:51.920]  like Wikileaks, we're going to see what really happened here. Congressional committees are going
[48:51.920 --> 48:59.760]  to be doing this. So there's one in the House as well. And this is also a Democrat and Republican.
[48:59.760 --> 49:05.680]  Leaders of the House Armed Services Committee, Mike Rogers, a Republican, Adam Smith, the Democrat,
[49:06.480 --> 49:11.920]  followed suit late Saturday. So the announcement that the Senate Armed Services Committee was
[49:11.920 --> 49:17.040]  going to investigate. That was made on Friday as the stuff blew up. The next day on Saturday,
[49:17.920 --> 49:23.600]  the House Armed Services Committee says they are going to investigate. So they're taking
[49:24.160 --> 49:29.360]  bipartisan action to gather a full accounting of the operation in question. The committee,
[49:29.360 --> 49:34.800]  they noted, is committed to providing rigorous oversight of the Department of Defense's military
[49:34.800 --> 49:40.880]  operations in the Caribbean. That remains to be seen. Anyway, it was, like I said, this is
[49:41.680 --> 49:48.000]  maybe it won't be a whitewash. I don't know. I think probably looking at how the military
[49:48.000 --> 49:54.160]  controls has so much influence. The military industrial complex, I think it probably will be.
[49:54.160 --> 49:59.840]  But unlike Vindman, who you can kind of dismiss anything that he has to say, even if it's true,
[50:00.400 --> 50:07.280]  you can dismiss it as partisan attacks. This was last month that you had Wicker and Reed,
[50:08.080 --> 50:16.320]  the two, the chair and the leading minority member, made public two letters that they
[50:16.320 --> 50:20.640]  previously sent to the Pentagon requesting orders and recordings and legal rationale
[50:20.640 --> 50:27.280]  related to these strikes. So they were already on it. But these people who contacted the Washington
[50:27.280 --> 50:33.920]  Post anonymously really threw fire on this. Current and former US officials and law of war
[50:33.920 --> 50:39.280]  experts have said the Pentagon's legal campaign, which has now killed more than 80 people,
[50:39.920 --> 50:43.840]  is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved in the prosecution.
[50:44.800 --> 50:50.560]  Alleged traffickers pose no imminent threat of attack against the US and are not in an
[50:50.560 --> 50:57.200]  armed conflict with the US, say these officials and other experts. A group of former military
[50:57.200 --> 51:06.240]  attorneys who scrutinized the Trump administration's military activities said that regardless of whether
[51:06.240 --> 51:11.360]  the US is in an armed conflict, conducting a law enforcement or other military thing,
[51:12.400 --> 51:20.800]  this is a war crime. Murder are both. There are no other options. So we shall see what happens to
[51:20.800 --> 51:25.680]  this. By the way, when we look at this, we're getting such conflicting information
[51:26.560 --> 51:32.080]  from the Trump administration. Trump is going to meet with Maduro, the guy that he says has
[51:32.080 --> 51:39.680]  to be overthrown. So even though he's put a $50 million bounty on Maduro, he has invited him to
[51:39.680 --> 51:43.520]  Washington. That's part of his plan. He's going to collect the bounty himself. That's right. He's
[51:43.520 --> 51:47.920]  going to put Maduro in an armbar in the Oval Office. I can pay myself. I can do that. I already
[51:47.920 --> 51:52.000]  wrote a check to myself. I'm going to write a check to myself for $230 million. Sucker,
[51:52.000 --> 51:56.480]  he came right in. I put him in a headlock. What was he going to do? There's a trap says
[51:56.480 --> 52:04.240]  Admiral Akbar, right? There are currently no plans for such an historic encounter to take place yet,
[52:04.240 --> 52:10.000]  despite the recent call where he offered to do that, say sources told the New York Times.
[52:11.200 --> 52:15.040]  On Thursday, Trump promised to start land operations in Venezuela, quote,
[52:15.600 --> 52:22.320]  very soon. I guess it depends on the Epstein news cycle and the public opinion polls.
[52:23.600 --> 52:30.080]  Over the weekend, he declared closure of Venezuela's airspace. The arrogance of this guy.
[52:30.880 --> 52:41.440]  The arrogance of this guy. It's truly amazing. This is the same Trump. Why should we be surprised?
[52:41.440 --> 52:45.680]  This is the same Trump that locked down the United States of America five years ago.
[52:46.480 --> 52:51.840]  He paid the bad Democrat governors and the bad Republican governors who went along with it.
[52:52.400 --> 52:56.560]  He paid them to do it, just like he paid Hillary to show up at his wedding.
[52:57.280 --> 53:01.600]  Trump on Saturday declared the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed.
[53:02.160 --> 53:11.120]  He does it on his social media account. Isn't that amazing? We have a government where we
[53:11.120 --> 53:16.400]  don't care what the law is. It's whatever the president says. It truly is a dictatorship and
[53:16.400 --> 53:22.160]  a dictatorship that is running through his own social media outlet. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the
[53:22.160 --> 53:28.480]  constitution has more stringent requirements for declaration of war than a post on truth social.
[53:29.040 --> 53:32.000]  That's right. I forgot when they amended the constitution for that.
[53:33.520 --> 53:37.920]  All it takes is him to get a little peeved at somebody and we can be at war like that.
[53:37.920 --> 53:42.720]  Yeah. To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers, and human traffickers,
[53:44.400 --> 53:49.520]  please consider all uppercase the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed
[53:49.520 --> 53:57.280]  in its entirety. Did he finish with? Thank you for your attention. Is it on? Is it on?
[53:57.280 --> 54:00.320]  They thump the microphone. They always do that. Testing, testing.
[54:01.440 --> 54:06.320]  It's unclear if the declaration means that the U.S. will impose a no-fly zone in Venezuela.
[54:07.040 --> 54:12.880]  That, however, would be an act of war when you declare a no-fly zone and that would be
[54:13.680 --> 54:17.920]  illegal without congressional authorization according to the constitution.
[54:18.720 --> 54:22.400]  What is that? What's the constitution? I've never heard of that before, have you?
[54:23.280 --> 54:28.720]  The order came after the president said that he may very soon expand the bombing campaign
[54:29.440 --> 54:35.520]  and take it to land. So again, what we see here is just like his tariffs,
[54:36.240 --> 54:42.160]  his wars, his sanctions, his tariffs, they're all capricious. They're all arbitrary. They're
[54:42.160 --> 54:47.360]  all unilateral. They're all done without consulting anybody and they're all done in defiance of the
[54:47.360 --> 54:56.480]  constitution. This son of a gun. Who can try to cover for this guy? Well, people like Alex Jones
[54:56.480 --> 55:02.400]  and people like Glenn Beck and people like Mark Levin as long as Trump is doing what Israel wants.
[55:02.400 --> 55:07.200]  It's just amazing to see the sycophants around this guy. As Andy War points out,
[55:07.920 --> 55:14.320]  today the cartel of the sons is used to describe a network of Venezuelan officials
[55:14.320 --> 55:21.200]  allegedly involved in the drug trade, but it doesn't exist as a structured organization.
[55:21.840 --> 55:28.000]  The Trump administration appears set to use the designation as a pretext to launch an illegal war,
[55:28.000 --> 55:36.160]  one that Americans overwhelmingly do not want. And again, you just create this organization.
[55:36.880 --> 55:41.840]  We'll call it the cartel of the sons. And of course, what it will be is the administration and
[55:41.840 --> 55:46.720]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want
[55:46.720 --> 55:53.360]  you to hear about love, generosity and compassion. We say those words all the time and they sound
[55:53.360 --> 55:59.840]  good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into
[55:59.840 --> 56:06.320]  action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who doesn't
[56:06.320 --> 56:13.680]  know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn or if there's any hope at all. And while
[56:13.680 --> 56:20.800]  we're all busy, life keeps moving forward. But that child is waiting. This is where you come in
[56:20.800 --> 56:26.880]  with Compassion International, you have the chance to change a child's future, not just with words,
[56:26.880 --> 56:33.200]  not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education, and hope through
[56:33.200 --> 56:40.640]  local churches and people already in their community. Put your words into action and join me
[56:40.640 --> 56:48.880]  introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[57:10.640 --> 57:14.400]  MOTO Casino is a social casino board. We're prohibited. No purchase necessary. Visit MOTO.US for more details.
[57:19.920 --> 57:24.960]  A regime that we want to overthrow. And we'll call it a cartel so that we can overthrow it.
[57:25.600 --> 57:36.080]  Well, at the same time, we have this happening. And he wants to go to war with Venezuela
[57:36.640 --> 57:42.640]  over fentanyl, which nobody has ever said comes from Venezuela. Trump, over the weekend,
[57:43.360 --> 57:52.720]  pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras, who is in the U.S. serving
[57:52.720 --> 57:59.520]  a 45-year sentence in U.S. prison for drug trafficking. So at the same time, he wants to
[57:59.520 --> 58:06.160]  open up a massive war against Venezuela. At the same time that he authorizes, he and his
[58:06.160 --> 58:13.360]  subordinates authorize the execution of non-combatants in a phony, made-up war,
[58:14.080 --> 58:19.680]  and then defiantly says that, yeah, we kill people who are struggling in the water after
[58:19.680 --> 58:27.280]  we've hit the ship. At the same time, he does that. He pardons this guy who has been imprisoned
[58:28.240 --> 58:35.040]  for drug trafficking. Well, this is keeping within Trump's whole policy of the people
[58:35.040 --> 58:39.840]  giving the orders are immune, but the people who follow and carry out the orders,
[58:39.840 --> 58:45.840]  they should be executed for those. That's true. Now, part of this context is that they had an
[58:45.840 --> 58:52.160]  election either this weekend or coming up. Yeah, it was yesterday. I don't know how it came out.
[58:52.160 --> 58:59.280]  Sunday's presidential election in Honduras. So he endorsed a candidate there, and he said,
[58:59.280 --> 59:04.800]  well, this candidate may not win because Venezuela may rig the elections. Now, look,
[59:04.800 --> 59:09.520]  I've reported for years and years, over a decade, I've been reporting about how Smartmatic
[59:10.320 --> 59:19.040]  was created in Venezuela by three friends of Hugo Chavez, and Hugo Chavez and other
[59:19.040 --> 59:24.080]  communists in the area. Never lost an election as long as Smartmatic was involved.
[59:24.080 --> 59:29.600]  And there have been allegations, not just in the US in 2020, but prior to that, and I'd reported on
[59:29.600 --> 59:36.000]  it way prior to that, there'd been allegations. I reported on all this stuff in the 2016 election
[59:36.000 --> 59:43.200]  cycle, and there were allegations in multiple Mexican states, I think they call them, territories,
[59:43.200 --> 59:48.800]  like, you know, regions within Mexico, whatever they call them. They're not provinces like in
[59:48.800 --> 59:56.800]  Canada, but let's say states in Mexico, also in Brazil, also in the Philippines, that Smartmatic
[59:56.800 --> 01:00:01.040]  was rigging elections. And so for Trump to say, well, if they're going to use Smartmatic, maybe
[01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:04.960]  they're going to rig the election. Let me tell you, though, what probably rigged the election more
[01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:11.920]  than anything was for Trump to endorse this person. That endorsement from Trump was probably,
[01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:19.920]  would probably cause this other guy to win in Honduras. And then he pardons, at the same time,
[01:00:20.560 --> 01:00:26.400]  this massive person who is a massive drug trafficker that everybody recognized for that.
[01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:35.920]  He endorsed some guy named Nazri Tito Asfura. I guess we'd just call him nasty. Nasty Tito Asfura.
[01:00:36.640 --> 01:00:42.960]  And so he said, I would be very supportive of his government if he won. And then he said,
[01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:47.920]  I'll be granting a full pardon and a complete pardon to Hernandez, saying that he's been treated
[01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:53.840]  very harshly and unfairly. Well, last year, the Department of Justice said, as they were
[01:00:53.840 --> 01:01:01.440]  sentencing Hernandez to 45 years in prison for conspiring to, quote, facilitate the importation
[01:01:01.520 --> 01:01:06.880]  of an almost unfathomable 400 tons of cocaine to this country.
[01:01:09.120 --> 01:01:15.760]  So they accused him and his brother for drug trafficking and for firearms crimes.
[01:01:17.040 --> 01:01:24.160]  As president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez abused his power to support one of the largest
[01:01:24.160 --> 01:01:30.560]  and most violent drug trafficking conspiracies in the world. And the people of Honduras and the U.S.
[01:01:30.560 --> 01:01:36.240]  bore the consequences, said the Department of Justice at the time. Well, so a lot of people
[01:01:36.240 --> 01:01:41.200]  are looking at this and saying, how is he taking one of the biggest drug traffickers
[01:01:41.200 --> 01:01:47.200]  head of a country? You know, he's projecting all this stuff now onto Maduro. And I'm not a
[01:01:47.200 --> 01:01:53.520]  supporter of Maduro. He's a communist and they have rigged elections and so forth. But I think
[01:01:53.520 --> 01:01:59.280]  this is all about the oil and about regime change. And I think it's about a wag the dog aspect here.
[01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:06.400]  But the contradiction is just insane. One guy who's a senior instructor at Western Washington
[01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:12.960]  University said Trump is using the U.S. military to assassinate rival crime lords
[01:02:13.520 --> 01:02:19.760]  and using pardon power to reward and elevate crime lord allies. Another person said,
[01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:24.960]  is this for real? We're killing people we just suspect of drug trafficking and yet
[01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:32.400]  we are pardoning convicted drug kingpins. Another person said, Trump, I will kill the drug cartels,
[01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:38.160]  also Trump, pardoning a powerful drug trafficker. Finally, one person said,
[01:02:39.600 --> 01:02:46.000]  they're lying to you and a bunch of voters falls for it every time. We know who that bunch of voters
[01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:54.000]  but there's Democrats who do it as well. Trump did not immediately state his reason for pardoning
[01:02:54.000 --> 01:03:00.560]  Hernandez. However, we can guess something that may have something to do with it. It was actually
[01:03:00.560 --> 01:03:10.400]  in Honduras that Peter Thiel and many of his technocrat billionaire friends had decided
[01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:15.600]  that they were going to start up a special libertarian city. They called it Prospero.
[01:03:15.600 --> 01:03:20.640]  Remember that startup city? You know, wealthy libertarians, I would say not even wealthy
[01:03:20.640 --> 01:03:25.040]  libertarians but libertarians for the longest time have said, you know, we need to just get out
[01:03:25.040 --> 01:03:33.040]  of these countries that are abusing us, that are acting and that really strikes a chord with me.
[01:03:33.680 --> 01:03:38.960]  So they talk about setting up a city out in the ocean in international waters and of course,
[01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:44.160]  you know that would not last because of the abusive governments that are out there but
[01:03:44.720 --> 01:03:49.040]  they worked with the government of Honduras. They worked with this guy Juan Hernandez
[01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:57.760]  to set up Prospero, a private for-profit city with his own government to court foreign investors
[01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:04.320]  through low taxes and light regulation. And so again, the people involved in it, people like
[01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:12.480]  Peter Thiel, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Mark Andreessen and so forth, they all worked with this guy
[01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:20.080]  Hernandez. Perhaps this is why he gets pardoned. The drug thing doesn't matter at all to Trump.
[01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:28.000]  So again, if you understand Trump and you understand the motives of his donors and controllers,
[01:04:28.560 --> 01:04:34.320]  the technocrats, the Zionists and so forth, then you understand, you just look at the people that
[01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:38.560]  give him money and you look at what they want out of things and then you can understand why
[01:04:38.560 --> 01:04:43.040]  Trump is doing these contradictory things over and over again. There really isn't
[01:04:43.600 --> 01:04:51.920]  any contradiction at all. And you know, as we had this murder by this Afghan guy, which we're going
[01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:58.720]  to talk about coming up, the zero units from the CIA, double-O units is what they call them. Again,
[01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:04.080]  I think it's these people are like playing James Bond, you know, the double-O agents
[01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:09.200]  from the British government had a license to kill. Well, basically these guys in Afghanistan
[01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:15.280]  did have a license to kill. And so one of them was brought back. He was brought back by Biden.
[01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:21.440]  And then, you know, the CIA was insisting these people be brought back, actually putting them
[01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:28.000]  ahead of other people as they were trying to bug out of Afghanistan. And so CIA gets these people
[01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:32.880]  back and they push this through and the Trump administration actually signed the papers to let
[01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:37.600]  him stay. So Biden brought him in. Trump administration did that. And yet when you look
[01:05:37.600 --> 01:05:44.480]  at places like the Babylon Bee, for example, this is exactly what is wrong. They take the position
[01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:50.640]  that it's all Biden's fault, right? Turkey pardoned by Biden administration four times,
[01:05:50.640 --> 01:05:56.800]  commits violent Turkey murder. Well, again, this is just partisan finger pointing.
[01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:03.440]  And people are doing that over this Afghanistan guy. Look, both Republicans and Democrats
[01:06:04.080 --> 01:06:09.680]  own the Afghanistan war. Trump owns the Afghanistan war. He kept it the entire four years,
[01:06:09.680 --> 01:06:15.600]  even though he said he was going to shut it down. Biden did not shut it down. Biden did not do a
[01:06:15.600 --> 01:06:20.400]  disorderly evacuation by choice. They did it because they had no choice. They did it because
[01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:24.800]  they were losing the war. They had no intention of leaving. I've reported on it so many times.
[01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.400]  You had all these people from the Pentagon saying, we're going to stay there for at least 20 years.
[01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:37.360]  Why? Well, again, they have lithium and that's a military strategic place in terms of being closer
[01:06:37.360 --> 01:06:44.720]  to Russia or whatever. But it could come up a lot of different reasons for it. I think opioids had
[01:06:44.720 --> 01:06:51.200]  a lot to do with it. The poppy fields that were there. They went from less than 10% of the world
[01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:56.960]  supply to the high. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest with you for a second
[01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:03.120]  about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner
[01:07:03.120 --> 01:07:09.120]  with an amazing organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor
[01:07:09.120 --> 01:07:16.720]  a child in need. It was a nice idea. Sure. But I had no idea just how much that simple act would
[01:07:16.720 --> 01:07:23.840]  change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:29.600]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[01:07:29.600 --> 01:07:36.640]  she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[01:07:36.640 --> 01:07:43.280]  of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:50.640]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally
[01:07:50.640 --> 01:07:57.040]  a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[01:08:35.440 --> 01:08:41.600]  RT would point that out. The American press was silent on that. And so, yeah, they were getting
[01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:48.480]  their drugs because you want to talk about the drug war? That's the CIA, folks. That's our own
[01:08:48.480 --> 01:08:53.120]  government that is running the drug war. And it really is what this one guy says. This is like
[01:08:53.120 --> 01:08:59.200]  rival drug gangs. You're going to pardon this one guy who's his drug lord ally and another guy who
[01:08:59.200 --> 01:09:04.960]  he wants to come after even if he isn't a drug lord. He's going to accuse him of that and come
[01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:09.760]  after him. So, you know, babble and be. Turkey pardoned by Biden four times commits violent
[01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:14.720]  Turkey murder. And just in case you don't understand what they are pointing the finger at,
[01:09:14.720 --> 01:09:20.400]  they say the Turkey, a refugee from Afghanistan, had been in and out of prison during Biden's
[01:09:20.400 --> 01:09:24.720]  presidential term on charges of trespassing, grand theft auto and illegal narcotics or something.
[01:09:25.360 --> 01:09:29.360]  So we're going to take a look at that guy when we come back. But we got some comments over
[01:09:29.360 --> 01:09:33.360]  one of them from Marky Mark. That's right. Marky Mark. Thank you very much for the tip.
[01:09:33.440 --> 01:09:39.680]  Says we long ago became what we fought in World War II. L.C.D.R. Mush Morton of sub SS Wahoo
[01:09:42.240 --> 01:09:48.400]  at the SS Wahoo torpedoed a Japanese freighter. After the sinking, he ordered his crew to machine
[01:09:48.400 --> 01:09:54.560]  gun the survivors in the water. And that's, you know, I mean, we laugh at the name. There's
[01:09:54.560 --> 01:10:01.040]  actually a wahoo fish, I think. But it sounds like some picket riding the bomb down at the end.
[01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:09.600]  That's a crime, you know. And when you look at how, you know, civilian targets, both the Nazis
[01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:13.600]  as well as the allied forces targeted civilian populations, you know, they-
[01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:19.520]  Russia committed heinous atrocities on civilian populations. The Japanese were horrific.
[01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:26.400]  And China, yeah. Everybody was doing it. And we sunk to that level. You know, Western Europe
[01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:31.280]  and America used to have the standards of Christian principles and the just war theory.
[01:10:31.280 --> 01:10:36.000]  You would never do the types of things that we did with the fire bombing of Dresden or with the
[01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:39.920]  nuclear bombs. As I've said before, they would say, well, that ended the war early. Well, if
[01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:44.000]  you wanted to end the war early, you could have dropped those nuclear bombs on the troops that
[01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:49.280]  were fighting our troops. That would have been legitimate under the rules of war to drop them
[01:10:49.280 --> 01:10:53.280]  on civilian population. However, it's not. And it's the same kind of argument. Well, you know,
[01:10:53.280 --> 01:10:57.200]  if we don't kill all those civilians, they might put on a uniform and come after us as well. So
[01:10:57.200 --> 01:11:02.640]  let's kill the non-combatants. That's essentially the argument that murdering
[01:11:03.360 --> 01:11:09.120]  War Pete is making and doesn't cut it. Also, it's another thing to remember is
[01:11:10.160 --> 01:11:14.000]  while what happened there is still a crime, it's still an atrocity. That was in the middle
[01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:19.280]  of an ongoing hot war where they had atrocities to look at and say, look what they did to our
[01:11:19.280 --> 01:11:24.640]  side. These are guys that are in the heat of, you know, the moment where they've seen what the
[01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:29.840]  Japanese are doing, or at least they've heard about it. And so they are wound up and they want
[01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:35.360]  to. This is just cold blooded, cold blooded premeditated precision murder. Yeah. This is,
[01:11:35.360 --> 01:11:41.680]  you know, they're both crimes and both should be prosecuted. Both are wrong. Yes. But it's easier
[01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:47.760]  to understand how someone could be, you know, worked up into a frenzy during a war. Yes. As
[01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:53.120]  opposed to where we are right now, which is just press a button and obliterate a person. And,
[01:11:53.120 --> 01:11:58.000]  and the law makes a distinction between murder that is committed under passion,
[01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:03.680]  murder that is committed accidentally, murder that is cold, calculated, premeditated. That's
[01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:12.160]  what this is. It's that kind of murder. Pesadovante 1776 says Clinton, W, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden,
[01:12:12.160 --> 01:12:16.960]  and Trump are all war criminals and mass murderers. I agree with that. I absolutely agree with that.
[01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:23.200]  The difference is, is that Trump owns it. He's proud of it. He boasts about it.
[01:12:23.200 --> 01:12:27.840]  Hegseth boasts about it. You know, these other guys tried to pretend that they weren't doing it.
[01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:31.600]  We know that all these presidents have had affairs. You know, we're talking about
[01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:37.360]  Eisenhower, FDR, any of these people. They, they've all had adulterous relationships while
[01:12:37.360 --> 01:12:41.760]  they were married, but they all hit it. They covered up. Trump boasts about it,
[01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:48.080]  just like he boasts about his murders with a, with a hypodermic needle or with the missiles
[01:12:48.080 --> 01:12:52.720]  that he's got out there. Yeah. We've never seen Bush bragging about being the father of 9 11. Like
[01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:59.600]  Trump is bragged about being the father of the vaccine. I'm the father of the inside job. Yeah.
[01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:05.600]  And of course you had Obama saying, you know, I'm very good at killing people. Yeah. And that's,
[01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:10.480]  that's what Dave Chappelle said about Trump, which I keep thinking about that clip where he says
[01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:14.320]  Trump's this guy. He says, you know what these guys are doing in there, but they won't tell you
[01:13:14.320 --> 01:13:17.360]  that he'll come out and tell you, this is what they're doing. And then he'll go back in and join
[01:13:17.360 --> 01:13:22.720]  them. He'll keep doing it, but he's open about it. He's going to tell you that that's what he's
[01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:30.800]  doing because he's absolutely unashamed. He's absolutely has no morality whatsoever. He's not
[01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:37.680]  just immoral. He's a moral. There is no moral code to Donald Trump whatsoever. It's about how does
[01:13:37.680 --> 01:13:43.040]  he get money? How does he get control? That's it. He's like some kind of a shark out there.
[01:13:43.040 --> 01:13:50.000]  It's got one goal to feed. It's gone. Call a Rose gardens. War crimes don't stick ever.
[01:13:51.280 --> 01:13:56.080]  Revolting villager. Once our police and military is populated with recently illegal aliens,
[01:13:56.080 --> 01:14:00.640]  the government will be a threat to us citizens as well. Well, the government is already a threat,
[01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:06.320]  but yeah, they've been putting out calls. I've seen it plays like California, just like, Hey,
[01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:12.000]  why don't you join up and you can serve the community. And we saw that in Australia as well.
[01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:16.720]  Hey, come to Australia. We've got great beaches. You can join the police force and we don't care
[01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:21.120]  where you're from. You want to come here, get a job where you can abuse our citizenry
[01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:27.440]  and feed off of it. Come on, buddy, bring it on in. We'll give you a night stick.
[01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:31.120]  You can beat our citizenry with it. And somewhere here, there was a nice
[01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:36.400]  recruitment. Yeah, here it is. DHS. Listen to this. This is the way they see themselves.
[01:14:37.040 --> 01:14:42.240]  This should frighten you. This is the way American federal law enforcement sees itself.
[01:14:42.240 --> 01:14:56.320]  The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
[01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:09.920]  I think we should add to that clip for context to what CS Lewis said about the people
[01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.000]  who are convinced of being righteous when they're not.
[01:15:24.160 --> 01:15:28.960]  This is like the, go ahead. That's really a good intro to what we're going to be talking about in
[01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:34.640]  terms of the zero unit killers that we train, that the CIA train. I say we, because it's our
[01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:40.000]  government that they trained in Afghanistan. What this guy did, you know, you train people
[01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:47.520]  to be killers and you glorify all of this stuff. It's not done to protect. This is done, as you
[01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:53.120]  were pointing out with the SEAL team six, a guy who just loves to kill people. And that's what
[01:15:53.120 --> 01:15:57.440]  they're selling people. They're selling that though, for domestic law enforcement here.
[01:15:57.440 --> 01:16:02.960]  That's a recruitment video from DHS. Do you want to wear night goggles? You want to do no night
[01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:07.760]  nighttime raids on people? You want to kill Americans or people who are in America,
[01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:12.560]  whether they're Americans or not? That's what they have become, you know, the militarization
[01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:18.720]  of the police. You should be very concerned about that. Go ahead. Also, all of these ads for this
[01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:24.800]  stuff are getting ridiculous with how dramatic they are with the propaganda. We've got three of
[01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:32.160]  them in the deck, including one that is actually for a propaganda unit. That's right. That's right.
[01:16:33.120 --> 01:16:37.360]  Yeah, that's the dark ad from DHS. Here's one that portrays them as superheroes.
[01:16:40.160 --> 01:16:41.120]  This is DHS.
[01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:47.840]  Cartoon Animate.
[01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.920]  One of the great intro themes of all time, though.
[01:16:57.280 --> 01:16:58.240]  What is this from?
[01:16:58.240 --> 01:17:02.960]  Pokemon. It's the original Pokemon theme song. Oh, okay. Not my thing.
[01:17:05.360 --> 01:17:06.400]  Oh, there he is. Pokemon.
[01:17:17.200 --> 01:17:22.080]  Gonna round up all those Pokemons. They got their little surveillance things.
[01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:25.520]  Hey, I got a Pokemon over here. You know that game? Pokemon Go.
[01:17:35.120 --> 01:17:39.200]  Yeah, that's right. Gotta catch them all. Let's go search for the Pokemons that are out there.
[01:17:40.160 --> 01:17:46.560]  And this is the, when I see that and how juvenile that is, you know, combined with
[01:17:46.560 --> 01:17:50.480]  this militarization of the police, it reminds me of the man who would be king, which by the
[01:17:50.480 --> 01:17:56.080]  way is what we should probably be calling Trump, the man who would be king. That excellent film
[01:17:56.080 --> 01:18:05.440]  that had Sean McConnery, Sean Connery, McConnery and Michael Caine. And at one point they line up.
[01:18:05.440 --> 01:18:10.160]  Yeah. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute.
[01:18:10.160 --> 01:18:16.320]  And I want you to hear about love, generosity and compassion. We say those words all the time
[01:18:16.320 --> 01:18:22.160]  and they sound good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything
[01:18:22.160 --> 01:18:29.200]  unless they turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the
[01:18:29.200 --> 01:18:35.920]  world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn or if there's any hope
[01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:42.720]  at all. And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting.
[01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:47.840]  This is where you come in. With Compassion International, you have the chance to change
[01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:54.560]  a child's future, not just with words, not with promises, but with real help that provides food,
[01:18:54.560 --> 01:19:02.160]  education and hope through local churches and people already in their community. Put your words
[01:19:02.160 --> 01:19:10.560]  into action and join me. Introduce a child to a loving heavenly father today at Compassion.com.
[01:19:10.560 --> 01:19:12.720]  That's Compassion.com.

[01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:49.680]  Afghans, they're going to take over this country here. And he says, see that guy there with a
[01:19:49.680 --> 01:19:56.000]  size five hat, head size for a size five hat. He goes, we're going to make a bloody hero out of him.
[01:19:57.440 --> 01:20:03.840]  You see that guy that's got an eighth grade outlook of the world and is thinking of Pokemon
[01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:10.080]  or whatever, maybe not even eighth grade, maybe eight year old. We make a big DHS agent out of him.
[01:20:10.080 --> 01:20:13.920]  That's what I think of you guys at DHS. That's exactly what I think of you.
[01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:17.680]  You're a bunch of children killing people. Go ahead.
[01:20:17.680 --> 01:20:24.720]  I was more talking about that other ad in the deck for joining the military,
[01:20:24.720 --> 01:20:28.640]  which was the Psyop one, first row seven video.
[01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:33.920]  Yeah, that's right. We'll play that one here. This is, yeah, this is from Fort Bragg.
[01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:36.160]  This is something that they've done multiple times now.
[01:20:36.160 --> 01:20:41.200]  Glorifying Psyops against us.
[01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:47.280]  So your government is glorifying nighttime raids. They're glorifying
[01:20:47.280 --> 01:20:51.680]  Psyops. And this is a recruitment ad. You know, you can be on the other side of this insanity.
[01:20:52.400 --> 01:20:57.200]  You can be the person who's controlling everybody. We are everywhere, it says.
[01:21:06.160 --> 01:21:14.800]  There's another force applied in combat that we generally don't think of as a weapon of war.
[01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:19.520]  That weapon is words. Words are weapons.
[01:21:21.120 --> 01:21:25.120]  Telling the truth is the only way in which to influence people.
[01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:31.200]  This is psychological warfare.
[01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:40.000]  And that ghost thing. I remember they did one of these several years ago.
[01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:44.320]  I remember that walking ghost. This is a new ad. They just keep doing that kind of stuff.
[01:21:45.280 --> 01:21:47.920]  Go ahead. We have Peso Novante, 1776.
[01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:52.080]  The military can be green-lighted to murder suspected drug runners on the high seas.
[01:21:52.080 --> 01:21:54.640]  They can be green-lighted on American soil. That's right.
[01:21:56.160 --> 01:22:01.360]  High boost. We have to kill all drug dealers that I don't pardon Trump maggot logic.
[01:22:03.040 --> 01:22:05.440]  Well, once you get a pardon from Trump, you're clear. You're fine.
[01:22:06.400 --> 01:22:10.960]  He's great. He's one of our guys. I talk to him. He likes me. We're going to make money together.
[01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:12.160]  It's a great deal. Love it.
[01:22:13.040 --> 01:22:16.960]  Gard Goldsmith. And of course, you can find Gard at Liberty Conspiracy,
[01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:19.440]  Monday through Friday at 6 p.m. on Rumble.
[01:22:19.440 --> 01:22:24.800]  And you can find him on Twitter at Gard Goldsmith and on Substack. Go check Gard out.
[01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:30.800]  Says the people who voted to fund the NDAA and who allowed Trump to use the military without any
[01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:33.760]  declaration of war are guilty.
[01:22:33.760 --> 01:22:37.040]  Trump is guilty. Those who voted for him to take my money are guilty.
[01:22:37.040 --> 01:22:41.680]  That's right. And you know, that's the thing, as one of the commenters said earlier,
[01:22:42.320 --> 01:22:49.200]  these war crime things don't ever stick. And the fact that the NDAA is a guaranteed,
[01:22:49.200 --> 01:22:52.880]  it's going to pass. It doesn't matter how much money they put into it. We went over a trillion
[01:22:52.880 --> 01:22:56.880]  dollars this time. It is always going to pass. That's why when they take something that is
[01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:01.120]  really controversial, they don't feel like they can get it through because it's such an affront
[01:23:01.120 --> 01:23:06.480]  to the American people and the Constitution. They'll stick it in the NDAA. And because they
[01:23:06.480 --> 01:23:11.600]  know it's a guaranteed pass. You know, the military industrial complex runs this country.
[01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:17.360]  We've become the national security state post World War II. Everything is about so-called
[01:23:17.360 --> 01:23:20.800]  national security. And yet it doesn't make us safe at all.
[01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:24.800]  Molly Brown Dog. They used to just plant evidence and now they blow it up.
[01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:30.960]  Yeah. Hi, Boost says dead men tell no tales, kill them all.
[01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:39.280]  Yeah. Yeah. We are the pirates, aren't we? Yo ho, yo ho. Pezzanovante 1776 bounties,
[01:23:39.280 --> 01:23:44.480]  no fly zones, land operations, regime change. Sounds like a war to me, a real war, not a drug
[01:23:44.480 --> 01:23:49.280]  war. The thing that really blows me away is the Cavalier Way. He just declares, oh yeah,
[01:23:49.280 --> 01:23:55.280]  we're going to impose a no fly zone over here. That's not just affecting the country. That's
[01:23:55.280 --> 01:23:59.680]  every other country then has to contend with that. Every other country has to sit there and think,
[01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:02.800]  well, if I fly through this. Well, he hasn't declared it as a no fly zone,
[01:24:02.800 --> 01:24:09.200]  but effectively he did. He didn't use that term. Yes. But again, this is the kind of semantics that
[01:24:09.200 --> 01:24:13.280]  they use. We all know what he's doing. He's making it a no fly zone. I'm not saying it's
[01:24:13.280 --> 01:24:17.920]  a no fly zone, but you know, if you go there, you might get killed. Yeah. We might accidentally
[01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:24.160]  think that your plane is transporting drugs and we all know what we do with suspected drug runners.
[01:24:24.160 --> 01:24:31.520]  I guess it's a no boat zone either from a pirate Pete. Arr. Yarmety. Out of the water. Yarmety.
[01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:36.320]  We found out that their definition for a drug boat is any boat with enough motors on it. So
[01:24:37.040 --> 01:24:41.840]  any plane that's fast enough could be a drug plane. That's right. They all tend to go pretty
[01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:47.360]  fast to stay in the air. You know, I'm no expert on the kind of fishing that this guy was doing
[01:24:47.360 --> 01:24:54.160]  out of Columbia, but I'm looking at that and I'm thinking, well, you know, if I was doing
[01:24:54.160 --> 01:24:57.760]  some deep sea fishing, I don't think I would have, that's the whole thing I don't like about
[01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:02.400]  fishing is just too slow moving. I don't think I'd have the patience to sit there on a trawler,
[01:25:02.400 --> 01:25:05.760]  you know, going at a slow speed out to where it is. You might need to have a trawler in order
[01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:12.720]  to get the fish on it. But, you know, if I could get more motors on there so I could get back and
[01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:19.440]  forth to work faster, I think I would do that. But that's, I don't know, killing somebody because
[01:25:19.440 --> 01:25:24.080]  the kind of boat that they have, excusing it, that's insane. What a liberal mindset to say
[01:25:24.080 --> 01:25:31.840]  your boat is too fast. That's right. It's like you got too many, too many rounds in your magazine
[01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:38.640]  and you got too many motors on the back of your boat and I had to kill you. It really is. One,
[01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:42.640]  two, three, oh, four motors. Sorry, bud. That's a missile for you.
[01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:48.000]  So the libs will do it for the gun. The conservative Trump supporters will do it for the boat.
[01:25:49.440 --> 01:25:52.800]  Jev Ginn says Trump is easily worse than the other Democrats.
[01:25:54.400 --> 01:25:56.480]  That's right. He is a Democrat. Let's never forget.
[01:25:56.480 --> 01:26:01.680]  Yeah. Molly Brown dog, Trump has done enough damage to the constitution to warn impeachment,
[01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:05.920]  but it wouldn't solve the problem. A new dictator would just take over in his place.
[01:26:05.920 --> 01:26:13.680]  That's right. He is precedent Trump. He's there to move it. And I agree that these precedents
[01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:19.520]  that he's making, and he's doing it with the complicity of people who in the past would have
[01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:25.040]  opposed violation of the constitution because they were originalists. Now these people,
[01:26:25.040 --> 01:26:30.480]  these conservatives applaud it when it's Trump. And I see it across the board. I mean, I see it
[01:26:30.480 --> 01:26:36.320]  from not just media people, but people like Victor Davis Hansen, a historian who's out there. And
[01:26:36.320 --> 01:26:41.360]  they make every kind of excuse that you can make for Trump to set these things up. I mean,
[01:26:41.360 --> 01:26:45.840]  if you're a historian and you can't figure out the times that you live in, I'm not interested
[01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:50.000]  in hearing what you have to say about things that happened before you were alive.
[01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:55.520]  So I can write off Victor Davis Hansen completely. It's like that scene from The Blues Brothers where
[01:26:55.520 --> 01:26:59.920]  they meet up with the girls that are in love with him again, and he just starts listing off every
[01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:04.720]  possible excuse he could have come up with for why whatever happened happened or didn't happen,
[01:27:04.720 --> 01:27:09.200]  didn't happen. Just like the sun was in my eyes as they're wearing sunglasses in a tunnel.
[01:27:10.400 --> 01:27:14.320]  That's what's going on with Trump. No matter what happens, there's somebody there to list
[01:27:14.320 --> 01:27:18.560]  all the reasons. Well, it's not, you know, he didn't do it. If he did, it's actually a good
[01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:23.280]  thing anyway. Hi Boo, said you have to pardon drug dealers to start wars against drug dealers.
[01:27:23.280 --> 01:27:26.880]  That's right. If you've got all the drug dealers locked up, who are you going to fight?
[01:27:27.520 --> 01:27:32.240]  Real Jason Barker and of course Jason Barker's parts of Knights of the Storm, which you can find
[01:27:32.240 --> 01:27:36.960]  at Knightsofthestorm.com. See the schedule for their show, our show, guard show, Tony show,
[01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:42.160]  many shows, Knightsofthestorm.com. Says pharmaceutical manufacturers have to do
[01:27:42.160 --> 01:27:45.760]  an environmental analysis on the impact of their drugs to the water, but when it's fentanyl,
[01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:49.520]  I guess we don't care about massive amounts being blown into the water.
[01:27:50.320 --> 01:27:55.840]  Good, good point. I think we should blow up these, these fluoride centers,
[01:27:56.960 --> 01:28:00.800]  the fluoride in the water. Maybe we should do that. In Minecraft, not in real. We shouldn't.
[01:28:03.520 --> 01:28:09.600]  Yeah, I'm being facetious. I'm not calling for the terrorism here. Do not go commit acts of violence.
[01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:13.680]  That's right. We're going to take a quick break folks and we'll be right back.
[01:28:49.520 --> 01:29:15.520]  You're listening to the David Knight show.
[01:29:16.480 --> 01:29:20.560]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second
[01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:26.720]  about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner
[01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:32.720]  with an amazing organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor
[01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:40.080]  a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[01:29:40.080 --> 01:29:46.400]  would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front
[01:29:46.400 --> 01:29:52.160]  of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and
[01:29:52.160 --> 01:29:59.440]  education she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change
[01:29:59.440 --> 01:30:04.800]  and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me.
[01:30:05.440 --> 01:30:13.040]  That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself
[01:30:13.040 --> 01:30:18.640]  and change literally a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself.
[01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:25.680]  You can sponsor a child today. Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.

[01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:22.640]  Well, let's talk about this killer who shot a couple of National Guardsmen in DC. Traveled
[01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:30.160]  across the country to it. Came from Washington State to Washington DC. This was a killer that
[01:31:30.160 --> 01:31:37.280]  was trained by the CIA as part of their Zero Unit fighters in Afghanistan. The double O
[01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:44.720]  section there are licensed to kill people. And the CIA helped to bring thousands of Afghan
[01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:51.760]  partner forces called the Zero Unit to the US under Biden's watch. This is just the news. And
[01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:58.400]  again, they want to make this partisan. This was something that was happening under Trump as well.
[01:31:59.040 --> 01:32:04.080]  Trump, they're brought under Biden's watch because it all collapsed and the war was lost
[01:32:04.080 --> 01:32:09.600]  under Biden. Trump could have done it. He had promised to do it. He did not end the war. He
[01:32:09.600 --> 01:32:16.400]  could have ended it and had an orderly withdrawal. Instead, it was a panicked evacuation. And that
[01:32:16.400 --> 01:32:24.720]  was the issue. But of course, the conservative media is making this strictly partisan, which is
[01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:30.160]  also a bunch of nonsense. The Afghan National, who has been charged with shooting two members
[01:32:30.160 --> 01:32:35.920]  of the West Virginia National Guard this week, was reportedly a member of the elite Afghan
[01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:43.440]  Zero Unit forces backed by the CIA. Why do we call people that have been trained
[01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:50.640]  to do really evil stuff? Why do we call them elite? Just call them evil. The CIA appeared
[01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:56.480]  to have quietly cut a deal with thousands of its paramilitary-style Zero Unit forces in Afghanistan
[01:32:56.480 --> 01:33:02.560]  in August of 2021 as everything collapsed and the Taliban took back control of the country
[01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:08.720]  and its capital of Kabul, according to a former intelligence officer who spoke with just the news
[01:33:08.720 --> 01:33:15.840]  who declined to be identified. The terms of the deals were that if the Zeroes helped to secure
[01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:22.400]  Hamid Karzai International Airport during the chaotic evacuation, then in exchange for that
[01:33:22.400 --> 01:33:28.880]  and for their years of coordination with the U.S. spy agency, the fighters and their families would
[01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:35.920]  earn an airlift to the U.S. The Afghan fighter drove thousands of miles from the west coast of
[01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:40.880]  the U.S. and Washington state to attack two members of the West Virginia National Guard,
[01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:48.320]  killing one of them. The other one is seriously injured and may still die. Numerous news outlets
[01:33:48.320 --> 01:33:54.160]  have reported that this guy was a member of the Zero Units based out of Kandahar. The U.S. cut a
[01:33:54.160 --> 01:34:00.160]  deal with the Afghan Zero Unit commando forces to secure the Kabul airport. Again, I'm not a military
[01:34:00.160 --> 01:34:05.280]  guy, but I looked at this and I thought, you know, they had Bagram Air Base, which is huge,
[01:34:06.240 --> 01:34:12.160]  well fortified. Why did they choose to evacuate from a civilian airport? That's the first thing
[01:34:12.160 --> 01:34:16.000]  I looked at and scratched my head. That didn't make any sense to me. Of course, I don't know
[01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:21.520]  anything about wars. I just know when they're justified and they're not justified. The U.S.
[01:34:21.520 --> 01:34:30.240]  cut a deal with the Afghan Zero Units to go out and round up U.S. citizens in Kabul. Maybe that's
[01:34:30.320 --> 01:34:34.160]  why they chose it, because it was close to where all their political allies were.
[01:34:35.200 --> 01:34:42.000]  But anyway, they went into the city and they gave them safe escort in. And so
[01:34:43.440 --> 01:34:47.600]  they relied on the Zeroes to help clear the airfield and then use the Afghan commandos
[01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:53.360]  to provide security during evacuation. I would say that that security could have been better.
[01:34:53.360 --> 01:34:58.800]  Didn't we have a bunch of U.S. military that were killed there and they were running the security
[01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:06.480]  for it? So New York Times reported that this guy had enlisted with a Zero Unit at a very young age.
[01:35:07.440 --> 01:35:13.440]  The guard members, apparently, that were shot by him were only blocks away from the White House.
[01:35:13.440 --> 01:35:19.760]  One was 20 years old, Sarah Beckstrom, and the 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe. Trump announced on
[01:35:19.760 --> 01:35:24.640]  Thursday that Beckstrom, an Army specialist, had died from gunshot wounds and added that Wolfe
[01:35:25.200 --> 01:35:32.160]  remained in critical condition in the hospital. Afghan EVAC, a U.S.-based coalition advocating
[01:35:32.160 --> 01:35:41.040]  for Afghan refugees, reportedly confirmed that this guy served in Unit 3 of the Zero Units,
[01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:48.160]  Unit 03 I should say, was evacuated by the U.S. military in August 2021, arrived in the U.S.
[01:35:48.160 --> 01:35:55.600]  under humanitarian parole, that he was granted asylum in April, that he had a special immigrant
[01:35:55.600 --> 01:36:02.080]  visa application under consideration, which had received chief of mission approval, and that his
[01:36:02.080 --> 01:36:08.560]  SIV application and COM application would have required review by the CIA. And so people blame
[01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:16.080]  Biden, the Republicans blame Biden, Democrats say, yeah, but Trump administration signed off
[01:36:16.080 --> 01:36:23.840]  in his paperwork. Here's the reality. This is the CIA, and this is the military, and they're
[01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:31.120]  calling the shots. And as it is in so many instances, Trump and Biden are both just a couple of puppets
[01:36:31.120 --> 01:36:35.120]  doing what they're told by their donors and by the military-industrial complex.
[01:36:36.240 --> 01:36:43.120]  Legacy media blames Trump for Biden's program. See, and this is just the news. Shame on you.
[01:36:44.080 --> 01:36:49.200]  This is a bipartisan war, it's a bipartisan failure, and you should understand that it doesn't
[01:36:49.200 --> 01:36:53.200]  matter whether it's a Trump or Biden, it doesn't matter if it's Democrat or Republican,
[01:36:53.200 --> 01:36:57.200]  the CIA is running this country. And this is the kind of thing that they do.
[01:36:58.480 --> 01:37:04.800]  Thousands of these Zero Unit guys were brought in. NBC News previously reported
[01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:10.480]  that 10,000 to 12,000 members of the Zero Units were evacuated from Afghanistan.
[01:37:11.200 --> 01:37:18.160]  How elite is that if you got 10,000 or 12,000? This is not like a half dozen highly trained
[01:37:18.160 --> 01:37:21.920]  individuals who've gone through all kinds of stuff like the SEAL units or something like that.
[01:37:22.720 --> 01:37:27.840]  They're just killers. The Washington Post reported that the Zero Unit soldiers
[01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:33.200]  collected U.S. civilian personnel and members from their homes there in Kabul and got them
[01:37:33.200 --> 01:37:37.440]  to the airport. There were days when we couldn't get more people through the gates because the
[01:37:37.440 --> 01:37:43.280]  CIA kept pushing their own people. They wanted them out. We wanted to do what we could to help,
[01:37:44.160 --> 01:37:47.680]  but it threw us back and there were days when we couldn't let others in the gate
[01:37:48.240 --> 01:37:55.520]  because we were helping the CIA and their Afghans first. Yeah, that's the way this thing operates.
[01:37:55.520 --> 01:38:02.160]  So what are these Zero Units? They also called them Double O Units, again, a license to kill.
[01:38:03.040 --> 01:38:09.760]  There were four main regional CIA-backed Afghan paramilitary units. They're officially known as
[01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:18.400]  01020304. Created and controlled by the CIA, unlike the Afghan National Army's regular commandos,
[01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:26.320]  which fell under the Afghan Ministry of Defense. The Zero Units were recruited, trained, paid,
[01:38:26.320 --> 01:38:34.400]  equipped, and tasked, organized directly by the CIA. They did not answer to the Afghan government
[01:38:34.400 --> 01:38:40.000]  in any meaningful way. And you know, when I look at this, this is, again, going back to Iran,
[01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:46.960]  when I talked to, when I was in engineering school at USF and there were a lot of Iranian students
[01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:55.600]  because of the time the Shah of Iran was still there, ally of the U.S., and the people were
[01:38:55.600 --> 01:39:00.960]  wearing masks when they protested what was happening in Iran. And I asked them about that
[01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:06.560]  and they said, well, they told me about the SAVAK. The SAVAK was the secret police organized and
[01:39:06.560 --> 01:39:15.280]  trained by the CIA to squelch any political opposition by arresting, torturing, imprisoning,
[01:39:15.280 --> 01:39:21.200]  killing people. That's what the CIA does. That's what the CIA was doing in Afghanistan.
[01:39:22.160 --> 01:39:27.520]  It's amazing how ruthless and criminal the American government has become. That's why
[01:39:27.520 --> 01:39:32.160]  I call the CIA the Criminal Intelligence Agency. That's really what they are.
[01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:39.440]  They are, however, central to our government. Almost exclusively, night raids and direct action,
[01:39:40.320 --> 01:39:46.480]  kill and capture missions, targeting high-value Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and later ISIS leaders.
[01:39:47.360 --> 01:39:56.720]  Except those are my allies. We just put a former Al-Qaeda-ISIS guy in as the head of Syria. And
[01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:01.360]  even though he's killing Christians and other minority groups, Trump wined and dined him at
[01:40:01.360 --> 01:40:07.120]  the White House and the Oval Office honored him. These people were the CIA's primary ground force
[01:40:07.120 --> 01:40:12.560]  for counterterrorism operations outside of the conventional U.S. military chain of command.
[01:40:13.520 --> 01:40:19.360]  They were extremely effective and feared. They conducted thousands of night raids,
[01:40:19.360 --> 01:40:24.560]  two to three thousand per year at peak. And what do we see with this DHS recruitment video?
[01:40:24.560 --> 01:40:31.520]  Night raids, right? We're going to go from full militarized no-knock raids by SWAT teams to
[01:40:32.080 --> 01:40:36.320]  nighttime night vision raids, I guess is what we're going to be looking at from DHS.
[01:40:37.360 --> 01:40:41.760]  Repeatedly accused by the U.N. Afghan officials and human rights groups of serious abuses,
[01:40:42.320 --> 01:40:49.920]  such as extrajudicial killings like War Pete is doing, torture, disappearing people,
[01:40:50.480 --> 01:40:57.120]  and civilian casualties during raids. Several detailed U.N. and human rights watch reports,
[01:40:57.120 --> 01:41:08.000]  especially between 2019 and 2021, singled them out. Now that's two of those three years is under
[01:41:08.000 --> 01:41:15.760]  Trump, right? Again, the bipartisan nature of this and the fact that Trump and Biden
[01:41:15.760 --> 01:41:20.960]  are just auto pens for the military industrial complex and their donors.
[01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:25.600]  You know, Trump is making a big deal of Biden being an auto pen. You know, like,
[01:41:25.600 --> 01:41:29.440]  under whose authority did he do this kind of stuff? Under whose authority are you doing things,
[01:41:29.440 --> 01:41:34.080]  Trump? Is this your idea or is it something that's been told to you by your donors,
[01:41:34.080 --> 01:41:39.200]  your contributors by the military industrial complex and the CIA? They need to replace
[01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:45.520]  probably all of the presidents from the middle of the 20th century on with auto pen portraits,
[01:41:45.520 --> 01:41:53.280]  not just Biden. So the U.S. supplied weapons, night vision goggles, like DHS now has,
[01:41:53.280 --> 01:41:59.600]  and makes a big deal out of it. Join DHS and you get to wear night vision goggles and you need to
[01:41:59.840 --> 01:42:06.000]  get an opportunity to do to Americans and do things in America that the CIA has been training
[01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:15.040]  people to do in foreign countries. The tactics and the weapons of war abroad become instruments of
[01:42:15.040 --> 01:42:22.320]  tyranny at home, just like Madison said. Night vision goggles, helicopters often flown by CIA
[01:42:22.320 --> 01:42:29.680]  contracted air wing pilots or U.S. Army 160th SOAR when attached, frequently operated with
[01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:34.880]  embedded U.S. special forces like SEAL Team 6, those involved in the Venezuelan murder,
[01:42:36.160 --> 01:42:44.400]  or just pure CIA tasking. After the 2021 U.S. withdrawal, when Kabul fell in August of 2021,
[01:42:45.040 --> 01:42:50.400]  many zero unit members were hastily evacuated by the CIA along with their families because
[01:42:50.400 --> 01:42:55.760]  the Taliban had placed them at the top of their kill list. A large number were resettled in the
[01:42:55.760 --> 01:43:01.760]  U.S. The units effectively ceased to exist as fighting forces after the Afghan government called.
[01:43:01.760 --> 01:43:06.640]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute and I want
[01:43:06.640 --> 01:43:13.520]  you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to
[01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:19.200]  no healthcare. So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options,
[01:43:19.200 --> 01:43:26.000]  no doctors in their community and no money for real medical care. By the third day,
[01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:30.320]  her body was shutting down. She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:38.800]  I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried
[01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:45.600]  everything, but she needed a private hospital and that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:43:45.600 --> 01:43:52.560]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in. Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[01:43:52.560 --> 01:43:58.960]  and against all odds, she survived. She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:43:59.680 --> 01:44:05.600]  Right now, unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone
[01:44:05.600 --> 01:44:12.160]  like you steps in. Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children
[01:44:12.160 --> 01:44:19.200]  with the support that they need, critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the
[01:44:19.200 --> 01:44:28.480]  gospel, all in Jesus' name. So help a child just like Alejandra today. You can visit Compassion.com.

[01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:06.880]  America's social casino, collapsed. In short, zero units with the CIA's Afghan hunter-killer
[01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:15.040]  teams. Highly capable, deniable from the U.S. perspective, and extremely controversial. Well,
[01:45:15.040 --> 01:45:23.600]  again, deniable because everything that the CIA does, they deny. But is it any wonder that when
[01:45:23.600 --> 01:45:32.000]  we create an assassin monster like that, that if he has difficulty living with what he's done,
[01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:38.960]  that he would then take it out on people from the country that had trained him to do this to his
[01:45:38.960 --> 01:45:45.600]  own countrymen, right? I don't see any surprise in any of that at all. And it sickens me to see
[01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:51.280]  this turned into, oh, it was Biden who did it. Oh, it was Trump who did it. It's the corruption
[01:45:51.280 --> 01:45:58.400]  of the American government. And so the D.C. National Guard shooter workforce, CIA-backed
[01:45:58.400 --> 01:46:03.680]  Kandahar Strike Force in Afghanistan, as I just said, granted asylum by the Trump administration
[01:46:03.680 --> 01:46:08.960]  earlier this year. His cooperation with the CIA has been confirmed by the spy agency's director,
[01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:17.760]  John Ratcliffe. Former Afghan general said that unit, the zero three unit that he was in,
[01:46:17.760 --> 01:46:22.800]  they were the most active and professional forces trained and equipped by the CIA.
[01:46:22.800 --> 01:46:29.200]  All their operations were conducted under CIA command. Human Rights Watch reported in 2019
[01:46:29.200 --> 01:46:34.320]  that Afghan members of the zero units have been responsible for extrajudicial executions,
[01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:40.720]  enforced disappearances, indiscriminate airstrikes, attacks on medical facilities,
[01:46:40.720 --> 01:46:44.800]  and other violations of international humanitarian law or the laws of war.
[01:46:45.520 --> 01:46:49.360]  You see, this has been going on for a very long time, and it just keeps getting worse
[01:46:49.920 --> 01:46:56.240]  and metastasizes to the extent that everybody sees it and they continue to do it because there's
[01:46:56.240 --> 01:47:03.920]  never any consequences. During these killer capture operations, it would involve, these forces
[01:47:03.920 --> 01:47:10.480]  would assault, in some cases kill, medical staff. They would assault or kill accompanying civilian
[01:47:10.480 --> 01:47:18.000]  or non-combatant caregivers, causing damage to the facilities. This is what happens when we have
[01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:26.400]  severed any attempt to have a moral restraint on war. This is what we've become, the kind of
[01:47:26.400 --> 01:47:33.920]  monsters that we've become. And so when you look at where this guy is coming from in Afghanistan,
[01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:39.680]  at the same time this is all happening, The Daily Skeptic has an article about the massive number
[01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:47.200]  of Afghans that have immigrated into the UK, says Reuters is trying to fact check away
[01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:55.120]  the appalling scourge of Afghan sex attacks. It's been less than a week since an Afghan national
[01:47:55.120 --> 01:48:01.520]  admitted raping a 12-year-old girl in Warwickshire. The crime was first propelled in the news cycle
[01:48:01.520 --> 01:48:08.480]  over the summer amidst allegations that officials and the police and local council were deliberately
[01:48:08.480 --> 01:48:14.720]  concealing the nationality of the alleged offenders. His co-defendant Mohammed is also
[01:48:14.720 --> 01:48:21.840]  an Afghan national. They pleaded not guilty to attempting to take a child, aiding and abetting
[01:48:21.840 --> 01:48:27.840]  rape of a child under 13, an intentional strangulation of the girl. It's a high profile
[01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:33.760]  case, an example of the link between migration and sex crimes and the way British institutions
[01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:38.400]  are trying to downplay this obvious reality. And of course they're not the only ones. Reuters
[01:48:39.840 --> 01:48:46.640]  published an article suggesting that to say that this is an Afghan issue is unfounded. They're
[01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:53.200]  hoping to fact check a viral social media post which includes a chart based on the Center for
[01:48:53.200 --> 01:48:59.680]  Migration Control data showing that Afghans have the highest rate of sexual assault convictions
[01:48:59.680 --> 01:49:09.440]  by nationality in the UK at 59 per 10,000. And so that's the fact. Then in June, yet another Afghan
[01:49:10.160 --> 01:49:16.640]  was convicted of dragging a young schoolgirl behind a pub in the town center and raping her.
[01:49:17.440 --> 01:49:24.880]  No remorse was shown during sentencing as he repeatedly screamed liar at the judge. He sought
[01:49:24.880 --> 01:49:33.280]  to justify his depravity as a simple case of cultural differences exacerbated by language
[01:49:33.280 --> 01:49:40.320]  barriers. This reminds me of the story of when the British went into India and the military officer
[01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:47.840]  saw they had a custom where they would when somebody died they would also throw the living
[01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:54.480]  widow on the funeral pyre and burn her alive. They saw they said stop that and they came up
[01:49:54.800 --> 01:50:00.160]  and said but sir you don't understand we have a custom and he said we have a custom as well
[01:50:00.160 --> 01:50:05.760]  in our country. We kill people who do that. It's a cultural difference.
[01:50:09.280 --> 01:50:14.480]  This is another one of those things just there are certain cultures that you cannot integrate.
[01:50:14.480 --> 01:50:22.240]  There's no number of Afghans that is safe to bring in. Not one, not two. The appropriate number of
[01:50:22.240 --> 01:50:30.720]  Afghans to bring into your country is zero. Their culture is violent and barbaric. They are
[01:50:30.720 --> 01:50:36.560]  routinely, no matter where they go, they set up these cabals that allows themselves to rape
[01:50:37.680 --> 01:50:43.520]  girls. The Muslim culture is just bad. It's evil. You heard it here first I guess.
[01:50:44.320 --> 01:50:52.480]  I have the full quote here from Charles James Neville. It says you say that it is your custom
[01:50:52.480 --> 01:50:57.920]  to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom. When a man burns a woman alive,
[01:50:57.920 --> 01:51:03.840]  we tie a rope around their necks and then we hang them. Build your funeral pyre. Beside it,
[01:51:03.840 --> 01:51:09.040]  my carpenters will build our gallows. You may follow your customs and we will follow ours.
[01:51:09.040 --> 01:51:15.600]  That's right. When we go back to the early days after 2001, there was a joke going around the
[01:51:15.600 --> 01:51:19.440]  little old lady had her knitting needles taken away by TSA because they were afraid she was
[01:51:19.440 --> 01:51:27.920]  going to knit an Afghan. It's a blanket condemnation of the culture that we're involved in here.
[01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:34.560]  If we were a serious country, we would not be importing Afghans or Somalis or these other
[01:51:34.560 --> 01:51:42.080]  violent backwards people that cannot contribute in any meaningful way to our society. They have
[01:51:42.080 --> 01:51:47.280]  not made anything good out of their countries and they will not be a benefit to ours.
[01:51:48.080 --> 01:51:51.360]  That's right. The Daily Mail, based on freedom of information requests
[01:51:52.000 --> 01:51:56.160]  to police forces, found that Afghans were arrested for sex crimes at a rate that is
[01:51:56.160 --> 01:52:04.240]  20 times higher than Brits. Daily Skeptic says it is because the norms and socialization processes
[01:52:04.240 --> 01:52:10.640]  of these men are fundamentally different and immeasurably worse than those here. Men raised
[01:52:10.640 --> 01:52:17.200]  in a nation where women are seen as less than cattle are of course more likely to, as a cohort,
[01:52:17.200 --> 01:52:22.320]  to demonstrate attitudes and behaviors that these islands did not have in the Middle Ages.
[01:52:23.280 --> 01:52:29.040]  The country feels at the breaking point the open borders experiment has failed. There is no doubt
[01:52:29.040 --> 01:52:35.120]  that radical change is coming. Legacy media like Reuters is trying to fact check away reality.
[01:52:35.840 --> 01:52:42.480]  They are the last stand of a dying political paradigm. Their relevance is waning and bereft
[01:52:42.480 --> 01:52:48.240]  of any ideological underpinning aside from vapid internationalism and multiculturalism.
[01:52:48.240 --> 01:52:55.600]  That's why I have to say, if we're going to reclaim our culture, our country, you can't
[01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:59.760]  have a culture war if you don't have a culture. We have to decide what our culture should be.
[01:53:00.400 --> 01:53:06.880]  And we have to be unapologetic about standing up for that culture. And so, you know, people are
[01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:12.320]  looking at this and just saying, what's going on? Well, it has to be the CIA. You need to understand
[01:53:12.800 --> 01:53:18.720]  how the CIA is involved from the very inception of this, as well as the psychological warfare
[01:53:18.720 --> 01:53:20.960]  groups like that video I just showed you, Fort Bragg.
[01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:29.680]  Of course, Fort Bragg is where we're, it might have been just me, but there was that story of
[01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:34.560]  all the drug dealing and drug running and all kinds of nefarious actions that were happening
[01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:40.640]  out of Fort Bragg by these special operations groups. And, you know, this is what they get up
[01:53:40.640 --> 01:53:48.800]  to in their spare time apparently. When they're not murdering people for Donald Trump, they are
[01:53:49.680 --> 01:53:56.080]  going crazy and dealing drugs. We met a guy who was a former Navy SEAL. It's kind of interesting
[01:53:56.080 --> 01:54:04.400]  the circumstances he told us. He said, and he was kind of a small guy, but he was tough and he knew
[01:54:04.400 --> 01:54:08.240]  how to survive in the woods. He said, no matter what happens to society, he says, I could just
[01:54:08.240 --> 01:54:15.920]  walk out in the woods and never come back and I'd be able to survive out there. And he got out of
[01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:24.800]  the SEALs because he said he was planting explosives on a bridge somewhere down South America.
[01:54:25.360 --> 01:54:30.400]  I was thinking, wait a minute, what's this about? And he fell as he was doing it and he injured his
[01:54:30.400 --> 01:54:36.960]  back and that took him out of the service. But he was somebody that we decided that we didn't
[01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:42.160]  really want to hang around with anymore. He told us a story about how he was in a bar and some guy
[01:54:42.160 --> 01:54:47.360]  tried to pick a fight with him and he said, leave me alone. And the guy followed him outside and he
[01:54:47.360 --> 01:54:52.000]  said, I just took out my knife and I slid him across the throat. Not deep enough to cut the
[01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:58.640]  trachea, but pretty bad. And he said he was arrested and when they brought him in for arraignment,
[01:54:59.280 --> 01:55:04.240]  he said the military came in there and went up and said something to the judge and the judge said,
[01:55:04.240 --> 01:55:09.840]  you can go with him, go ahead. This is the kind of government we've got. They cover up for that
[01:55:09.840 --> 01:55:15.520]  kind of stuff. And I'm like, I don't think we want to know this guy. I don't want to be around him at
[01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:20.960]  all. It's also a matter of like, if you're telling the truth, this is terrible. But if you're not,
[01:55:20.960 --> 01:55:24.880]  you're the type of person that wants to lie about this kind of thing because you think it makes
[01:55:24.880 --> 01:55:31.280]  you sound cool, in which case also another person you don't want to be around. Yeah, he was a friend
[01:55:31.280 --> 01:55:38.720]  of a friend. And the thing is, you also see this with this sort of thing like Chris Kyle, the best
[01:55:38.720 --> 01:55:45.360]  sniper to ever grace the Navy SEALs. His book is loaded with inaccuracies and things he's either
[01:55:45.360 --> 01:55:51.120]  made up or lied about. Lied about fighting Jesse Ventura, knocking him out. And you know, his estate
[01:55:51.120 --> 01:55:56.400]  lost that case with all the sympathy provided by the fact that Chris Kyle died and it was his
[01:55:56.400 --> 01:56:01.760]  technically widow who was, I don't know, even though it was the estate. They lost that case
[01:56:01.760 --> 01:56:07.680]  to Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura. You know, that reminds me of that movie, Sunset, that had Bruce
[01:56:07.680 --> 01:56:14.560]  Willis, I think it's James Garner. And it was set in the early days of Hollywood and Tom Mick's
[01:56:14.560 --> 01:56:21.920]  meeting Wyatt Earp and played by an older James Garner. And so he would talk about things that
[01:56:21.920 --> 01:56:26.400]  happened in the old west and he goes, is that really happening? He goes, yeah, give or take a lie or two.
[01:56:27.760 --> 01:56:31.920]  Good movie. He kept using that line, give or take a lie or two.
[01:56:31.920 --> 01:56:36.640]  One of my favorite parts about that movie is at the very end when they're riding off into the
[01:56:36.640 --> 01:56:41.200]  sunset, they're going off on a train back east and they're riding off into the sunset. So it's
[01:56:41.200 --> 01:56:45.760]  just more of this, you know, you're like, oh, it's Hollywood magic. It's meant to be goofy and silly.
[01:56:45.760 --> 01:56:48.960]  And if you're actually paying attention, you notice like, wait a minute, they're going back
[01:56:48.960 --> 01:56:53.600]  east and they're driving off into the sunset. This doesn't make any sense. It's all give or
[01:56:53.600 --> 01:56:58.320]  take a lie or two. That's right. That's right. Well, we're going to take a quick break folks
[01:56:58.320 --> 01:57:04.480]  and we will be right back. Let's see. Hang on a second. Let me get some Christmas songs up here.
[01:57:04.480 --> 01:57:10.880]  There's one. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute

[01:57:17.040 --> 01:57:23.360]  and they sound good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless
[01:57:23.360 --> 01:57:30.240]  they turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world
[01:57:30.240 --> 01:57:37.520]  who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn or if there's any hope at all.
[01:57:37.520 --> 01:57:43.840]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is

[02:00:08.880 --> 02:00:12.960]  Welcome back, folks. And real quickly, I want to remind you that it is your support that keeps
[02:00:12.960 --> 02:00:17.840]  this show up and running. We appreciate everyone that donates and keeps us going.
[02:00:18.400 --> 02:00:22.320]  So thank you all very much. Yes, and I have a list here
[02:00:22.320 --> 02:00:27.760]  of donations and I apologize. I don't have, we don't really know where we ended up at the
[02:00:28.320 --> 02:00:34.640]  end of the month this last time because there's, Karen got sick. She was sick over Thanksgiving
[02:00:34.640 --> 02:00:39.680]  and then Lance got sick after that as well. So we had a lot of that happening. We didn't get out
[02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:44.880]  and pick up the checks from the PO box over the weekend. So we're really not sure about that.
[02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:49.280]  We'll let you know about that tomorrow. But I did want to mention these people whose
[02:00:49.280 --> 02:00:57.280]  checks we did process earlier. This is Anne Z, Fred and Jackie Yu, Helen T, Stephanie K,
[02:00:57.920 --> 02:01:08.400]  Ronald C, Mary N, Chip and Tina B, Jack H, Robert and Laura B, Raymond B, Eric K, Philip and Kelly
[02:01:08.400 --> 02:01:13.280]  M, and Stacey. Those are checks and we will tell you tomorrow the names of the people
[02:01:13.840 --> 02:01:19.920]  who have contributed that we've not announced yet on Zell and on Cash App. But when we look at
[02:01:20.720 --> 02:01:26.560]  Thanksgiving, we do give thanks for those of you who have supported us, especially with your
[02:01:26.560 --> 02:01:31.360]  prayers over this last year. It's been a, we look back at this year, it's been a very challenging
[02:01:31.360 --> 02:01:37.040]  year for us on a personal level and we really do appreciate your prayers for the things that
[02:01:37.040 --> 02:01:44.320]  happened health-wise with me and also with the loss of Karen's brother, twin brother recently.
[02:01:44.320 --> 02:01:51.440]  So we just, we thank God and that is what really Thanksgiving is about. That's one of the reasons
[02:01:51.440 --> 02:01:58.320]  I like it. In many ways, better than what Christmas has become with the commercialization of it because
[02:01:58.320 --> 02:02:05.840]  Thanksgiving is a time to look back in gratitude and thanks to God and also for repentance is the
[02:02:05.840 --> 02:02:11.200]  history of it. But you know, I often think, you know, when we talk about Thanksgiving and people
[02:02:11.200 --> 02:02:17.760]  talk about how healthy it is to have an attitude of thankfulness and gratitude, I often wonder,
[02:02:17.760 --> 02:02:25.200]  for people who don't believe in God, who are they thankful to? Who are they grateful to? What are
[02:02:25.200 --> 02:02:31.120]  they thankful for? Is it just to random chance processes that they express their gratitude? I
[02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:36.000]  don't really understand it, but yeah, yeah, something else that you want to cover.
[02:02:36.000 --> 02:02:42.320]  Yeah, I want to make sure that I let people know that homesteadproducts.shop is having a sale on

[02:04:02.880 --> 02:04:08.560]  articles that we cover on the show as well. Yes. A lot of times I have people say, you know,
[02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:12.720]  what was that article that you're talking about? So we put that up for people. There's a reference
[02:04:12.720 --> 02:04:17.680]  as well. Also, I got a comment here from Karen Carpenter says, good morning Travis. How's the
[02:04:17.680 --> 02:04:24.720]  puppy? We need a puppy cam update. Did you give him a name? The puppy's doing great. He's a lot
[02:04:24.720 --> 02:04:30.720]  of fun. He was very, very young when he was taken from his mother. You know, we encountered them
[02:04:30.720 --> 02:04:36.400]  with just three puppies. The mother was nowhere to be found. So he's very bitey and he doesn't
[02:04:36.400 --> 02:04:41.040]  have, you know, a mother there to kind of put them in his place and say, hey, stop that, knock that
[02:04:41.040 --> 02:04:46.000]  off. So I'm getting scratches and little bite marks all over my hands as we're doing our best
[02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:50.160]  to work with him. But he's at the age where he doesn't really understand. So you just have to
[02:04:50.160 --> 02:04:55.360]  redirect him. The worst one was your son. We were up there. Karen and I were sitting there watching
[02:04:55.360 --> 02:05:00.800]  last week and I was looking at something else and I hear Karen like, stop them, stop them. And I
[02:05:00.800 --> 02:05:06.960]  couldn't figure out what was going to look around. And Travis's son is sitting on the floor just
[02:05:06.960 --> 02:05:11.840]  wailing because the puppy's got his foot is gnawing on it. And it's like, ah, this is like
[02:05:11.840 --> 02:05:14.880]  a fucking nightmare, you know? He doesn't know what to do to get the puppy off.
[02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:19.520]  No babies or puppies were hurt. It was just shocking for them.
[02:05:19.520 --> 02:05:23.280]  No skin was broken, but he was like. He was just very surprised.
[02:05:23.280 --> 02:05:26.640]  I guess it shocked us because Karen had a nightmare that night that she was,
[02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:33.600]  because she'd gone to Florida for the funerals and she had a nightmare that there was an alligator
[02:05:33.600 --> 02:05:39.040]  that did that to her. It's like, that's not the way they operate. They would definitely break the
[02:05:39.040 --> 02:05:45.760]  skin and they'd drag you into the water and do the death roll. But yeah, we did decide on a name
[02:05:45.760 --> 02:05:51.600]  as well. We decided we'd name him Bishop. I like the name Bishop and also, you know, it's the name
[02:05:51.600 --> 02:05:57.920]  of the Android from the original Alien film. Fun fact about that, he was played by Ian Holm. Ian
[02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:03.760]  Holm played Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings films and he also voiced Frodo in the Lord of the Rings
[02:06:03.760 --> 02:06:06.480]  radio adaptation. This guy's everywhere. He's like Michael Caine.
[02:06:07.440 --> 02:06:12.400]  So his name is Bishop. You'll probably be seeing more of him. Who knows? Maybe I can send Lance a
[02:06:12.400 --> 02:06:16.240]  picture of him and we'll get it pulled up for you by the end of the show or something.
[02:06:16.240 --> 02:06:18.080]  Plus it sounds good together. Bishop Knight.
[02:06:18.960 --> 02:06:20.800]  Got a chess motif going on.
[02:06:21.440 --> 02:06:27.440]  I remember I interviewed Tony Rook out of the UK. He did a mock trial about 9-11
[02:06:27.440 --> 02:06:32.400]  and a documentary about that and his name was Tony Rook. And so he said, yeah, Rook and Knight.
[02:06:32.960 --> 02:06:39.840]  But with Bishop and Rook, you could actually do a castling move, which we can't do in the night.
[02:06:40.800 --> 02:06:46.640]  Anyway, so Thanksgiving, of course, and we rebroadcast some of my comments about the
[02:06:46.640 --> 02:06:53.520]  original Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. 1621, and you know, as they originally came, they were very
[02:06:53.520 --> 02:07:00.560]  explicit about why they came. It was to spread the Christian faith because they wanted to help
[02:07:00.560 --> 02:07:09.920]  the Indians who were here. And when we look at a Christian nationalism, this is what I think of
[02:07:09.920 --> 02:07:16.480]  when I think of it. And that is the aspect that we are going to establish a nation based on
[02:07:16.480 --> 02:07:21.520]  Christian principles, not the fact that we are going to have everybody attend a particular
[02:07:21.520 --> 02:07:26.640]  church or something like that. And that means Christian principles that don't murder people
[02:07:27.440 --> 02:07:31.200]  that are struggling in the water. I'm disgusted with these people.
[02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:36.800]  Anyway, only about half of the original 102 members who boarded in England earlier
[02:07:37.360 --> 02:07:43.840]  survived the sea voyage and the cruel winter in the New World. And that was one of the things
[02:07:43.840 --> 02:07:52.000]  I think was so amazing when we went to Plymouth Rock. One year we looked at it and they had the
[02:07:52.800 --> 02:07:57.120]  the ships, replicas of the ships that were there. And I remember looking at that thing,
[02:07:57.120 --> 02:08:01.360]  how in the world could you get 100 people on that ship? Were they standing
[02:08:02.480 --> 02:08:06.880]  shoulder to shoulder with the entire voyage? I just didn't get it. I mean, you know, you talk
[02:08:06.880 --> 02:08:13.040]  about living conditions that people were under at that time. And of course, the big effort by the
[02:08:13.040 --> 02:08:20.160]  New York Times and the left to create the 1619 project was to deny our Christian heritage
[02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:28.720]  and to change our heritage into one of greed and slavery that was an exhibit in Jamestown.
[02:08:28.720 --> 02:08:35.200]  And the thing is, in all periods of history, in anywhere you look, you can find examples to
[02:08:35.200 --> 02:08:41.120]  point to to make your case for, look, these people were just nothing but cruel, vindictive,
[02:08:41.120 --> 02:08:48.320]  evil people. You can point to and pull specific examples out if you want to from any time period,
[02:08:48.320 --> 02:08:52.080]  from any culture. And you can do that with any historical figure as well.
[02:08:52.080 --> 02:08:56.160]  You can look at somebody's life and you can point to the best things that they did or the
[02:08:56.160 --> 02:09:00.800]  best things that they said, or you can point to the worst aspects of it, because everybody is a
[02:09:03.040 --> 02:09:10.880]  mixture of good and bad. And so it just is how you choose to portray it and what your motivations
[02:09:10.880 --> 02:09:16.320]  are in terms of making something look good or look bad. But I think it's always good to go back and
[02:09:16.320 --> 02:09:21.840]  to eat the meat and throw out the bones, especially on Thanksgiving, right? I don't
[02:09:21.840 --> 02:09:27.760]  have any bones to pick. This is one of the meatiest times in history in terms of the good that came
[02:09:27.760 --> 02:09:34.240]  out of it is one of the best. There's good and bad from everything, but this is one of the few times
[02:09:34.240 --> 02:09:39.600]  where the good definitely outweighed the bad by a large margin, which is of course why they want
[02:09:39.600 --> 02:09:45.200]  to deconstruct it all. And the Indians and the Pilgrims lived together in peace for about four
[02:09:45.200 --> 02:09:50.560]  generations. And then that fourth turning happened and there was a war. And so people can argue
[02:09:50.560 --> 02:09:56.320]  about who started the war as they always do. And you will always, depending on your perspective,
[02:09:56.320 --> 02:10:00.960]  you choose one side or the other, but it's very difficult to tell on most of these things which
[02:10:00.960 --> 02:10:07.520]  side started the war. But they did live at peace for quite some time there. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson
[02:10:07.520 --> 02:10:13.120]  and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels.
[02:10:13.120 --> 02:10:18.560]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called
[02:10:18.560 --> 02:10:25.360]  Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea,
[02:10:25.360 --> 02:10:31.280]  sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:37.120]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[02:10:37.120 --> 02:10:42.880]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[02:10:42.880 --> 02:10:49.920]  she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[02:10:49.920 --> 02:10:56.560]  of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[02:10:56.560 --> 02:11:04.080]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a
[02:11:04.080 --> 02:11:10.320]  child's life, change the world. And you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[02:11:46.560 --> 02:11:53.360]  And it is truly an amazing story. I would encourage you, if you have children or grandchildren,
[02:11:53.360 --> 02:12:00.080]  to look at the story of Squanto in terms of God's providence and how he helped them and how he was
[02:12:00.800 --> 02:12:06.640]  really miraculously providentially put in place there when these people landed. And why they
[02:12:07.600 --> 02:12:12.640]  fact that they landed there was strange enough. I mean they were headed for Northern Virginia.
[02:12:12.640 --> 02:12:17.760]  A storm blew them off course and then they realized that, tried to put out to sea several
[02:12:17.760 --> 02:12:22.640]  times, kept getting pushed back and pushed back. Finally they land and at the place where they land
[02:12:22.640 --> 02:12:28.560]  there's an Indian who speaks English and has been trained because he was kidnapped earlier but then
[02:12:28.560 --> 02:12:36.640]  released by a Christian. He was trained in the meantime about how to grow food and things,
[02:12:36.640 --> 02:12:44.160]  which the Pilgrims, for all of their great motivations, had no practical skills whatsoever.
[02:12:44.160 --> 02:12:49.520]  It's kind of like we look at things, if society breaks down, there's going to be a lot of Pilgrims
[02:12:49.520 --> 02:12:57.600]  out there. Especially from the sense that John Wayne would always say, well Pilgrim, you're here
[02:12:57.600 --> 02:13:03.840]  and you're out of your depth. So you think you're going to survive this or not? But yeah,
[02:13:03.840 --> 02:13:08.800]  it was a very interesting story. The providence of it is amazing how they
[02:13:09.600 --> 02:13:16.480]  get blown way off course to the one spot where there's very, very few Indians that could speak
[02:13:16.480 --> 02:13:21.520]  English and help them out. It's kind of like in Star Trek or wherever where they go to a planet
[02:13:21.520 --> 02:13:27.200]  and everyone, it's there and they all speak English pretty there.
[02:13:27.200 --> 02:13:31.840]  That's right. Yeah, nobody ever said that about Star Trek. How providential. We've gone to a
[02:13:31.840 --> 02:13:36.560]  planet where the gravity is the same, the air is the same and they even can speak English like us.
[02:13:37.520 --> 02:13:46.880]  But anyway, it didn't become an official holiday until the 1940s, even though it was a
[02:13:47.360 --> 02:13:54.160]  Thanksgiving declaration by Washington and you had Benjamin Franklin lecture the people there,
[02:13:54.160 --> 02:13:59.120]  said, you know, God's providence, we have to have seen how God's providence helped us to prevail
[02:13:59.120 --> 02:14:04.160]  against Great Britain, the biggest nation in the world, and told them that they needed to
[02:14:05.360 --> 02:14:10.160]  proceed with daily prayer as they had when they fought the war in order to put together the
[02:14:10.160 --> 02:14:18.480]  Constitution. But then after that, you had the idea that it wasn't something that people should
[02:14:18.480 --> 02:14:24.000]  do. Again, Jefferson felt that there should not be a proclamation and he took the position,
[02:14:24.560 --> 02:14:29.920]  even though the separation of church and state, that phrase in that letter to the
[02:14:29.920 --> 02:14:35.200]  Danbury Baptist was to say there is a wall around the federal government and we are not going to
[02:14:35.200 --> 02:14:44.080]  establish and pick one Christian denomination to be the official federal established religion.
[02:14:44.080 --> 02:14:49.200]  There were established religions in almost all of the states at the time the federal
[02:14:49.200 --> 02:14:55.040]  government was created and they did not end with the First Amendment. They continued in Massachusetts
[02:14:55.040 --> 02:15:00.960]  and other places in the 1830s and 1840s. And so it wasn't about that and it wasn't about
[02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:10.880]  suppressing the exercise of your religion as a member of the government or as a government
[02:15:10.880 --> 02:15:17.200]  employee at a school or any other place. It was never about that. They kind of read that
[02:15:17.200 --> 02:15:24.400]  into that because of Jefferson's refusal to issue a Thanksgiving proclamation. But it was later done
[02:15:24.400 --> 02:15:31.680]  by Abraham Lincoln during the war and every president subsequent to that would put out a
[02:15:31.680 --> 02:15:40.240]  proclamation. Roosevelt made it official in 1941. As a matter of fact, he moved it earlier than
[02:15:40.240 --> 02:15:45.760]  had traditionally been done by a week because he wanted to kick off the Christmas shopping
[02:15:46.720 --> 02:15:52.000]  season a little bit earlier and during the depression, the tail end of the depression,
[02:15:52.640 --> 02:15:57.920]  and people did not like him moving it so they pushed back against that. But it became official
[02:15:57.920 --> 02:16:06.960]  with him then. And so now we have in 2025, we have Trump's official Thanksgiving declaration,
[02:16:06.960 --> 02:16:13.680]  which really was not a decoration of thanks. It was really more of a bah humbug and him boasting
[02:16:13.680 --> 02:16:18.960]  about what he had done. So it was rather than thanking God a great deal, he was thanking himself
[02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:24.160]  and patting himself on the back as you would expect while War Pete is bragging about the
[02:16:24.160 --> 02:16:30.960]  murders that he's committed. So the founders, even the least religious, possessed a healthy fear of
[02:16:30.960 --> 02:16:35.920]  providence and were humble enough to invite God's blessing on their land. Today, similar official
[02:16:35.920 --> 02:16:41.840]  declarations would be met by the secularists with derision and the tiresome warning about the threat
[02:16:41.840 --> 02:16:45.920]  that Christianity presents to democracy. But while the men who made this great nation
[02:16:46.560 --> 02:16:52.160]  didn't want a theocracy, they certainly didn't envision a people who enjoy the fruits of
[02:16:52.160 --> 02:16:57.520]  prosperity and freedom without acknowledging their divine source. And neither should we.
[02:16:58.320 --> 02:17:01.360]  So let's not be afraid to bow our heads in gratitude.
[02:17:03.440 --> 02:17:09.840]  And let's not forget to confess our sins, like the national sin of unprovoked wars
[02:17:10.560 --> 02:17:20.560]  and murder, unashamed murder of the unborn, murder of civilians, whether it is genocidal for land,
[02:17:20.560 --> 02:17:25.920]  whether it is not necessarily to kill all Venezuelans, but just we just want to take
[02:17:25.920 --> 02:17:31.200]  through all this all. It's just it's still reprehensible and it is a national sin.
[02:17:32.240 --> 02:17:37.680]  Let's pray for God to heal and renew this unique experiment and self-government rights,
[02:17:37.760 --> 02:17:45.680]  World Magazine, and I agree with them. And so it is a celebration of family as well.
[02:17:46.480 --> 02:17:51.520]  And that is the other nice thing about it. It doesn't they've not found really a way to
[02:17:52.960 --> 02:17:57.920]  to commercialize it, which which is really astonishing. You know, when you look at this,
[02:17:57.920 --> 02:18:02.720]  they've commercialized everything else. Every other holiday is incredibly commercialized,
[02:18:02.720 --> 02:18:08.320]  but not Thanksgiving, which is unusual. I guess you could say that Black Friday is
[02:18:08.320 --> 02:18:12.720]  a commercialization of it, you know, but it's creeping in along the edges.
[02:18:12.720 --> 02:18:21.840]  Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, the that that is a strange thing about Trump is what a curmudgeon he was.
[02:18:23.520 --> 02:18:29.680]  Scrooge, McDonald Trump, Republican strategist who is on CNN said he can't even believe
[02:18:30.320 --> 02:18:36.400]  Trump's Thanksgiving Day rant. This was the rant that he had against Tim Walz,
[02:18:37.120 --> 02:18:44.880]  calling him seriously retarded and saying that Ilhan Omar, a Somali immigrant, always wrapped
[02:18:44.880 --> 02:18:51.440]  in her swaddling hijab. Well, we should understand the issue that is I mean, he is
[02:18:52.400 --> 02:19:00.720]  saying it in the worst possible way. But there's a great deal of truth in the problem that has
[02:19:00.720 --> 02:19:08.400]  been created there in Minnesota. And that has been that Tim Walz has been a part of because he wants
[02:19:08.400 --> 02:19:14.560]  to get the votes of the Muslims there in Little Mogadishu, which is what people are calling
[02:19:15.280 --> 02:19:22.160]  Minneapolis now. He wants those votes of people who supported Ilhan Omar and he saddles up right
[02:19:22.160 --> 02:19:28.880]  next to her. And so this one guy who was on CNN, his name is Abdul. He said, when I saw
[02:19:28.880 --> 02:19:32.480]  it yesterday, I was like, Oh, bro, you got to be kidding me now. Because he said something like,
[02:19:32.480 --> 02:19:37.440]  I think it was swaddling clothing. He said, using the image we usually associate with Christmas and
[02:19:37.440 --> 02:19:43.760]  Christ and Jesus. And you're saying that is a swaddling hijab. Well, I think Tim Walz has
[02:19:43.760 --> 02:19:51.600]  been swaddling the Muslims are there. This is money from Minnesota taxpayers earmarked to feed
[02:19:51.600 --> 02:19:58.080]  hungry children wind up in the hands of a Somali terrorist group. The allegations center around a
[02:19:58.080 --> 02:20:05.040]  massive welfare fraud case being brought in Minnesota. A 78th 78th defendant was charged
[02:20:05.040 --> 02:20:10.400]  just today. And now reports are all Shabab that some of the stolen money may have wound up in
[02:20:10.400 --> 02:20:16.720]  the hands of all Shabab, a Somali based terror group. In response, President Trump says he
[02:20:16.720 --> 02:20:22.960]  intends to end deportation protections for about 700 Somali nationals in Minnesota, calling
[02:20:22.960 --> 02:20:29.200]  Minnesota a quote hub for Somali gang networks, though he's provided no evidence for that.
[02:20:29.760 --> 02:20:34.560]  So you just provide the evidence on the ground. Investigative correspondent Richard McHugh is at
[02:20:34.560 --> 02:20:38.480]  the federal courthouse in Minneapolis, Minnesota for us tonight. Rich, what are you learning?
[02:20:40.640 --> 02:20:45.200]  Hi, Elizabeth. Well, we're at the federal courthouse where that 78th indictment came down
[02:20:45.200 --> 02:20:51.520]  just a few hours ago. All of it tied to feeding our future. That's the looks like a hub center of
[02:20:51.520 --> 02:20:58.480]  all of this fraud. We spoke with current and former federal sources. And they say they tell us
[02:20:58.480 --> 02:21:05.840]  billions have been stolen since 2019 that Minnesota is just riddled with fraud and that a lot of this
[02:21:05.840 --> 02:21:11.440]  money goes back to Somalia. And a cut of all that money has gone to the Al Qaeda linked terror group
[02:21:11.440 --> 02:21:16.480]  Al Shabab. But I want to like reset this for viewers because it's complicated. This all
[02:21:16.480 --> 02:21:22.160]  stems from feeding our future. That's the largest COVID fraud ever. These criminals open more than
[02:21:22.160 --> 02:21:28.560]  200 federal child nutrition sites throughout Minnesota and sites lie. COVID was a fraud.
[02:21:28.560 --> 02:21:33.360]  Thousands of children a day. They created fake attendance rosters, fake invoices, and the
[02:21:33.360 --> 02:21:38.320]  government reimbursed them. David Gaither, he's a former state senator here. He saw this firsthand.
[02:21:40.160 --> 02:21:45.680]  I covered this before COVID. Downtown Minneapolis. This is the epicenter of some
[02:21:45.680 --> 02:21:50.880]  of the biggest fraud and waste abuse in this area. The owner right now is currently in jail,
[02:21:50.880 --> 02:21:58.800]  federal jail. This restaurant, which sits about 35, supposedly served 18,000 plus meals a day.
[02:21:58.800 --> 02:22:08.160]  A day? A day for seven months. 18,000 plus. That's a lot of people 25 at a time.
[02:22:08.160 --> 02:22:14.240]  She was a fixture at this restaurant, the safari, during her run for office. I think we have a photo
[02:22:14.240 --> 02:22:19.920]  of her at the restaurant with her supporters in 2018 feeding our future. That's that corrupt
[02:22:19.920 --> 02:22:24.560]  nonprofit. It was the epicenter of it, but others spawned from it. There were home relocation
[02:22:24.560 --> 02:22:33.120]  services, child autism. They were bilking $399 million in services fraud in 2023 alone. To date,
[02:22:33.120 --> 02:22:39.120]  86 people have been indicted and counting. Federal authorities tell News Nation 79 of them
[02:22:39.120 --> 02:22:44.880]  are of Somali descent. They were feeding their future. They were telling you what they were
[02:22:44.880 --> 02:22:51.600]  doing, just not in the way that you might think. We are not holding accountable those that created
[02:22:51.600 --> 02:22:55.120]  the opportunity to have those purposes do what they did. And that would be
[02:22:56.160 --> 02:22:59.120]  the policymaker, the attorney general, and the administration.
[02:23:01.120 --> 02:23:05.520]  Now, federal sources... It means Tim Walz. Several of them said the same thing to me,
[02:23:05.520 --> 02:23:10.320]  Elizabeth. They say there's a saying in the Somali community... Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to
[02:23:10.320 --> 02:23:16.160]  be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels. A couple of years ago,
[02:23:16.160 --> 02:23:22.160]  I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[02:23:22.160 --> 02:23:29.680]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just
[02:23:29.680 --> 02:23:36.960]  how much that simple act would change my life as well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life
[02:23:36.960 --> 02:23:42.720]  change right in front of my eyes, going from starving literally alone on the streets to
[02:23:42.720 --> 02:23:48.640]  getting the healthcare and education she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[02:23:48.640 --> 02:23:54.800]  I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[02:23:54.800 --> 02:24:01.920]  it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on
[02:24:01.920 --> 02:24:08.320]  all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life. Change the world
[02:24:08.320 --> 02:24:17.200]  and also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today. Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[02:24:38.800 --> 02:24:55.040]  When it rains in Minneapolis, umbrellas go up in Mogadishu. That just about sums it up. Back to you.
[02:24:55.040 --> 02:25:00.720]  Wow, almost a hundred people charged in this scheme so far. Rich McHugh reporting in Minneapolis,
[02:25:00.720 --> 02:25:04.880]  thanks so much. And I remember covering that because I remember laughing at the name,
[02:25:04.880 --> 02:25:11.600]  El Shabab. It reminded me of Quick Drama Grodd, his El Kebab or whatever. El Kebong, El Kebong,
[02:25:11.600 --> 02:25:17.840]  yeah. But this is what it looks like there in Minneapolis. This is a football stadium that
[02:25:17.840 --> 02:25:25.920]  they took over by Somali so they could hold a large group prayer. So whenever you got a large
[02:25:25.920 --> 02:25:30.960]  number of people like this, they can control politicians like Tim Walz. I would have sent
[02:25:30.960 --> 02:25:42.000]  ICE in there. That's what I would have done. And so when you look at the timeline of Somali fraud,
[02:25:42.000 --> 02:25:47.280]  this is another report. Center of a major fraud case. Federal prosecutors indicted five people
[02:25:47.280 --> 02:25:53.920]  for their roles in offering a juror $120,000 for a not guilty verdict in the Feeding Our Future
[02:25:53.920 --> 02:25:58.960]  Fraud Scheme. The U.S. attorney says the group targeted Juror 52 because she was the youngest
[02:25:58.960 --> 02:26:07.600]  juror only juror of color. They dug up information on her family online and even put a GPS tracking
[02:26:07.600 --> 02:26:12.960]  device on her car to track her whereabouts. During their investigation, investigators uncovered a
[02:26:12.960 --> 02:26:18.240]  video of one of the defendants leaving a bag of money at the juror's home. You may recall,
[02:26:18.240 --> 02:26:23.440]  the juror came forward with the bribe and five of the seven defendants were found guilty of fraud.
[02:26:23.440 --> 02:26:27.760]  They were convicted for stealing millions of dollars from the government meant to feed hungry
[02:26:27.760 --> 02:26:35.760]  kids during the pandemic. Well, again, saying that Ilhan Omar was wearing a swaddling hijab was
[02:26:36.320 --> 02:26:41.440]  probably one of the least insults that he could have leveled at her. The real stuff was actually
[02:26:41.440 --> 02:26:46.400]  more damaging, which is the problem because that's part of what Trump's gimmick is.
[02:26:46.400 --> 02:26:51.840]  It's really kind of a WWE gimmick, the name calling and all the rest of the stuff rather than pointing
[02:26:51.840 --> 02:26:57.680]  out the reality of what's going on there. I hope they do something, but we'll have to wait and see.
[02:26:58.480 --> 02:27:05.040]  One of the worst things is Minnesota is full of such corn-fed,
[02:27:06.000 --> 02:27:12.880]  pure Americana type individuals and they're being absolutely screwed over by the governments
[02:27:12.880 --> 02:27:16.800]  importing these people. The government then caters to these people. They allow them to
[02:27:18.400 --> 02:27:23.840]  fleece the system. Well, it's because they've been completely indoctrinated by their school system
[02:27:23.840 --> 02:27:29.600]  to be passive and gullible with all this stuff. Plus they're importing a large enough voting
[02:27:29.600 --> 02:27:34.480]  block that doesn't matter if they wake up at a certain point. That's right. And of course,
[02:27:34.480 --> 02:27:40.080]  the Muslims have tons of kids. So yeah, you keep importing them, but then they also just start
[02:27:40.080 --> 02:27:47.600]  breeding a giant base of their own people in your country as well. And Minnesota is sadly
[02:27:48.640 --> 02:27:52.640]  occupied territory at this point. It's a big problem. They need to do something about it.
[02:27:52.640 --> 02:27:57.440]  The question is, will he do something about it? This is one place where you should round the
[02:27:57.440 --> 02:28:02.080]  people up and send them home. Do it legally, and I'm sure there's plenty of legal reasons to do
[02:28:02.080 --> 02:28:08.160]  this. That fraud is not just limited to 78 people or whatever. Yeah. Also, again, this is another
[02:28:08.160 --> 02:28:12.400]  one of those things where it's like, there is no amount of Somalians that improves the United
[02:28:12.400 --> 02:28:17.680]  States. They have nothing to offer. What are they mainly known for? Ilhan Omar?
[02:28:18.640 --> 02:28:23.360]  They're mainly known for being pirates. That's what they're known for. When you think of Somalis,
[02:28:23.360 --> 02:28:28.480]  you think of these violent thugs on the high seas that take over container ships.
[02:28:28.480 --> 02:28:33.600]  That's what they're for. They've given us other pirates like Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, who,
[02:28:34.720 --> 02:28:40.640]  again, that's the left's tool. It's kind of interesting though, on the right, as we see Trump
[02:28:41.280 --> 02:28:44.960]  going off on everybody on Thanksgiving. Again, he puts out a Thanksgiving proclamation
[02:28:45.680 --> 02:28:52.160]  and basically thanking himself and ingratiating himself. Then going on this tirade against all
[02:28:52.160 --> 02:28:59.040]  of his political enemies, this article from NBC News, the campaign to make Richard Nixon great
[02:28:59.040 --> 02:29:09.440]  again. Make Nixon great again. I got to say, if you are looking at Richard Nixon and thinking that
[02:29:09.440 --> 02:29:15.520]  he is going to be vindicated, I think you've lost the plot, conservatives. I look at Richard
[02:29:15.520 --> 02:29:20.320]  Nixon. This is the guy that started the war on drugs that we've been talking about. He took
[02:29:20.320 --> 02:29:26.960]  the UN agenda and the schedule of the four different classifications of drugs and how they went.
[02:29:26.960 --> 02:29:32.800]  That was all created by the UN. He enacted that and called it his war on drugs. He had no respect
[02:29:33.360 --> 02:29:39.920]  for the Constitution, for the rule of law. He was a Machiavellian figure going after his political
[02:29:39.920 --> 02:29:45.600]  enemies, creating secret wars, putting a 55 mile an hour speed limit. That was one of the things
[02:29:45.600 --> 02:29:51.440]  that I caught on to when I was just learning how to drive that made me dislike Richard Nixon.
[02:29:51.440 --> 02:29:58.800]  You'll never rehabilitate Richard Nixon in my eyes. But then as I got older and learned more
[02:29:58.800 --> 02:30:06.960]  history, I realized many other aspects of it in terms of the secret bombing of Cambodia and other
[02:30:06.960 --> 02:30:12.800]  things like that. I just got to say, if you like Richard Nixon, you must love Henry Kissinger
[02:30:13.600 --> 02:30:19.360]  because Henry Kissinger, Mr. Bilderberg himself, was the guy who essentially ran the Nixon
[02:30:19.360 --> 02:30:26.720]  administration, just like you had this big new Brzezinski run the Carter administration, the guy
[02:30:26.720 --> 02:30:32.320]  who created the Trilateral Commission and all the rest of the stuff. These globalists, and you can
[02:30:32.320 --> 02:30:37.920]  go back and look at the trends, the opening to China that was so celebrated by Richard Nixon,
[02:30:37.920 --> 02:30:45.520]  even by the left, they celebrated that. Stephen Sondheim even wrote a musical about Nixon in China.
[02:30:46.240 --> 02:30:54.320]  I never saw it. But I mean, that is an indicator of how popular that was with the left,
[02:30:55.040 --> 02:30:59.520]  who, by the way, embraced the globalist agenda. But Richard Nixon embraced the globalist agenda
[02:30:59.520 --> 02:31:05.600]  with the UN war on drugs, and he embraced it by bringing in China. And that was Henry Kissinger
[02:31:05.600 --> 02:31:11.040]  doing that, the Bilderberger. They knew they could make China the beta test site for what the
[02:31:11.040 --> 02:31:16.880]  technocracy wanted to do to everybody. And also for population reduction, the one child policy
[02:31:16.880 --> 02:31:23.440]  that they sold in the name of protecting the climate. And yet, look at who's given a pass
[02:31:23.440 --> 02:31:30.480]  on CO2. China and India can have as many, or China, for example, the globalists say,
[02:31:30.480 --> 02:31:35.920]  well, you can have as much CO2 as you want, but just not as many children as you want.
[02:31:35.920 --> 02:31:39.680]  That's what they pushed on them. And so you've got people like Christopher Ruffo,
[02:31:40.640 --> 02:31:47.600]  who addresses a studio audience with Bill Maher, and he says,
[02:31:47.600 --> 02:31:52.320]  The Watergate scandal that toppled Nixon was a setup from start to finish.
[02:31:53.120 --> 02:31:59.440]  Well, yeah, so what? Everything these people do is Machiavellian and a setup from start to finish.
[02:31:59.440 --> 02:32:03.920]  The stuff that Nixon did was a setup from start to finish. The stuff that people opposed him
[02:32:04.000 --> 02:32:10.400]  did was a setup from start to finish. These are two calculating gangs of criminals coming
[02:32:10.400 --> 02:32:16.800]  after each other. So I really don't care about that. What I care about is the kinds of things
[02:32:16.800 --> 02:32:22.560]  that Richard Nixon did and is known for. Well, when the president does it, it's not illegal,
[02:32:22.560 --> 02:32:27.920]  right? And that's how we get to the point where, well, when Trump orders it, it's not illegal.
[02:32:27.920 --> 02:32:31.920]  The president orders it, it's not illegal. It doesn't matter if you're killing people
[02:32:31.920 --> 02:32:38.240]  floating in the water or whatever. It's not illegal. So again, the judge was out to get
[02:32:38.240 --> 02:32:43.200]  Nixon, says Ruffo, yes. It's kind of the whole thing that we're seeing where they'll go after
[02:32:43.200 --> 02:32:48.080]  the reporters. They'll talk about the person asking the question, but they won't say that you're
[02:32:48.080 --> 02:32:53.920]  wrong. It's, oh, look, well, the people that came after Nixon were establishment insiders. Well,
[02:32:53.920 --> 02:32:59.200]  yes, that's true, but they weren't wrong in this case. That's right. That's right. Yeah,
[02:32:59.200 --> 02:33:03.520]  you didn't get the Kissinger clip that I sent you, did you, Lance?
[02:33:03.520 --> 02:33:04.240]  I did not.
[02:33:04.240 --> 02:33:08.160]  Yeah, yeah. I was going to play that. Henry Kissinger, we're missing you,
[02:33:08.160 --> 02:33:13.760]  diplomat of our dreams, with your curly hair and your glassy stare and your Machiavellian schemes.
[02:33:15.120 --> 02:33:19.440]  Well, I guess they must miss Henry Kissinger because they're missing Nixon.
[02:33:19.440 --> 02:33:23.920]  The Watergate scandal has long been viewed as a defining moment in presidential corruption and
[02:33:23.920 --> 02:33:32.080]  accountability, says NBC. It became shorthand for a political scandal and lent the omnipresent
[02:33:32.080 --> 02:33:38.240]  gate suffix to many scandals that followed, right? It's always this gate and that gate.
[02:33:39.040 --> 02:33:42.960]  Now you've got a lot of right-wing figures who insist that Watergate was actually an
[02:33:42.960 --> 02:33:48.240]  underhanded scheme by the deep state and the press to take down a popular Republican president.
[02:33:48.960 --> 02:33:54.400]  Yeah, so what? He had his own schemes, didn't he, for things that he wanted to do.
[02:33:55.440 --> 02:34:00.240]  So yeah, the press and the other party wanted to take him down. That's always the case.
[02:34:00.960 --> 02:34:07.200]  How do you excuse what he did with the war? How do you excuse what he did with China? How do you
[02:34:07.200 --> 02:34:17.520]  excuse what he did with so many different things? And again, his wage and price controls, how do
[02:34:17.520 --> 02:34:25.280]  conservatives embrace all that stuff? It always surprised me. Roger Stone has a tattoo of a
[02:34:25.280 --> 02:34:33.280]  smiling Nixon on his back. He used to say, yeah, I think Nixon stabbed me in the back as well,
[02:34:33.280 --> 02:34:39.600]  repeatedly. Just like your tattoo. But beyond Rufo, the conservative media personalities like
[02:34:39.600 --> 02:34:44.800]  Tucker Carlson, Michael Knowles, and Steve Bannon have pushed a revisionist Watergate
[02:34:44.800 --> 02:34:51.120]  narrative in the past year. Hillsdale College has called it a scam. And even actor Bill Murray.
[02:34:51.120 --> 02:34:55.280]  Well, there we go. That's the final word. If Bill Murray says it, that's got to be true, right?
[02:34:56.800 --> 02:35:03.600]  Says Nixon might have been framed. Again, these are the kinds of spy versus spy garbage that these
[02:35:03.600 --> 02:35:10.720]  people do. So I really don't care about whether or not Watergate was a legitimate thing. We saw
[02:35:10.720 --> 02:35:17.440]  what he did with it. And again, I despise Nixon. He's arrogant, corrupt, grasping power.
[02:35:18.320 --> 02:35:23.200]  I remember his vice president. How did we get Gerald Ford? He was taken out of the house
[02:35:25.760 --> 02:35:32.400]  and put in the vice presidency because Richard Nixon's vice president was taking suitcases full
[02:35:32.400 --> 02:35:37.680]  of cash in his office in the White House. That's how corrupt Nixon and these other people were.
[02:35:37.680 --> 02:35:43.200]  I remember Nixon cultivating this idea that he was a Quaker. And then you get these tapes
[02:35:43.200 --> 02:35:48.880]  where he's doing this Machiavellian scheming and using the most foul language that you can imagine
[02:35:48.880 --> 02:35:56.240]  for the 1970s. And so BLM, Russiagate, gender ideology, left-wing terrorism,
[02:35:56.960 --> 02:36:02.320]  all of the current challenges can be understood through the prism of Watergate frame-up, said
[02:36:02.320 --> 02:36:09.040]  Ruffo. Nixon was one of the 20th century's greatest presidents. Well, I tell you what,
[02:36:09.040 --> 02:36:13.920]  I understand these- Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one
[02:36:13.920 --> 02:36:19.680]  minute. And I want you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words
[02:36:19.680 --> 02:36:25.680]  all the time and they sound good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean
[02:36:25.680 --> 02:36:32.080]  anything unless they turn into action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow,
[02:36:32.080 --> 02:36:38.480]  there's a child in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn,
[02:36:38.480 --> 02:36:45.040]  or if there's any hope at all. And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward,
[02:36:45.040 --> 02:36:50.400]  but that child is waiting. This is where you come in. With Compassion International,
[02:36:50.400 --> 02:36:56.240]  you have the chance to change a child's future, not just with words, not with promises,
[02:36:56.240 --> 02:37:04.080]  but with real help that provides food, education, and hope through local churches and people already
[02:37:04.080 --> 02:37:11.280]  in their community. Put your words into action and join me. Introduce a child to a loving heavenly
[02:37:11.280 --> 02:37:16.880]  father today at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[02:37:41.280 --> 02:37:54.800]  And I understand Nixon and what a creep he was. That was the committee to re-elect the president.
[02:37:54.800 --> 02:38:04.160]  It's called creep, appropriately, but also not aware of how much of a creep and a criminal he
[02:38:04.160 --> 02:38:12.880]  really was. I am not a crook. Yes, you are. Yes, you were. Ken Hughes, a researcher at University
[02:38:12.880 --> 02:38:18.640]  of Virginia's Miller Center, considered one of the most foremost experts on audio tapes from the
[02:38:18.640 --> 02:38:23.520]  Nixon White House, said the recordings clearly demonstrate that Nixon was a ringleader of the
[02:38:23.520 --> 02:38:29.680]  abuses of power that we group under the heading of Watergate. They show Nixon deliberately,
[02:38:29.680 --> 02:38:33.440]  consciously, and illegally weaponized the government against those he considered to be
[02:38:33.440 --> 02:38:43.360]  political threats. He was the prototype for Trump. If Trump is precedent, Nixon was Trump's precedent.
[02:38:44.800 --> 02:38:49.760]  Nixon was trying to keep his enemies list secret. He was trying to keep the fact that he was
[02:38:49.760 --> 02:38:56.320]  weaponizing the government against people secret. Biden and Trump don't make any secret of it, do
[02:38:56.320 --> 02:39:02.080]  they? His congressional career defined him as a strident anti-communist, but as president,
[02:39:02.080 --> 02:39:07.840]  he opened diplomacy with China. Well, that's because he wasn't a conservative or anti-communist.
[02:39:08.480 --> 02:39:15.360]  He was the man of the globalists, a man under the control of Henry Kissinger, Mr. Bilderberg
[02:39:15.360 --> 02:39:25.840]  himself. And again, to defend Nixon is to defend Kissinger. So, they recount the different aspects
[02:39:25.840 --> 02:39:33.520]  of it. I'm just amazed to see these people who... Here's the defense that the conservatives make.
[02:39:34.080 --> 02:39:39.520]  They contend that Nixon was oblivious to much of it until after it happened. Isn't that the same
[02:39:39.520 --> 02:39:45.600]  thing that we hear Alex Jones say about Donald Trump? And maybe he got that talking point for
[02:39:45.600 --> 02:39:52.480]  Roger. So, I don't know. They don't talk about due process for us, but they say, well,
[02:39:53.040 --> 02:39:59.440]  he was denied due process. His due process rights were violated by prosecutors. And these are the
[02:39:59.440 --> 02:40:05.440]  people defending Trump who's violating due process for millions of people. It's just amazing.
[02:40:06.000 --> 02:40:13.120]  Our government denies that to everybody all the time now. So, Monica Crowley said in July that
[02:40:13.840 --> 02:40:21.440]  full vindication, I think, of President Nixon is coming to pass. Not with me. Never be vindicated.
[02:40:22.400 --> 02:40:30.240]  Only perhaps. Perhaps he will look good compared to Trump, just like Jimmy Carter looked good
[02:40:30.240 --> 02:40:37.600]  compared to Biden, because this country is going down the drain. We are circling the drain. And so,
[02:40:37.600 --> 02:40:45.520]  these presidents that we have now are not any worse. Maybe they are worse than the worst presidents
[02:40:46.160 --> 02:40:54.240]  in recent American history for the last 50, 70 years or so. And so, if you don't believe me,
[02:40:54.240 --> 02:41:02.400]  just take a look at the politicians in Washington who are jumping off of this sinking ship like rats.
[02:41:03.200 --> 02:41:08.320]  That's what's happening in the GOP. And also with Democrats even. You've got 18
[02:41:09.120 --> 02:41:16.320]  18 congressmen say they're not going to run for reelection. These are GOP congressmen.
[02:41:16.320 --> 02:41:19.360]  And you've got another 8 Democrats who say they're not going to do it.
[02:41:21.680 --> 02:41:26.480]  Which is also noteworthy because the Democrats expect that they're going to have the majority.
[02:41:27.120 --> 02:41:32.000]  It's really not any fun when you're in the minority. It's not much fun anymore when you're
[02:41:32.000 --> 02:41:38.800]  in the majority with the kind of rules that have been put in place by Pelosi, by Boehner, and
[02:41:38.800 --> 02:41:45.840]  by Mike Johnson. When you're operating under that kind of a situation, nobody has any say in anything.
[02:41:45.840 --> 02:41:52.240]  They don't represent us. They have no voice because the speaker has controlled everything.
[02:41:52.240 --> 02:41:56.320]  That's one of the reasons these people are getting out. And when the House returns from Thanksgiving,
[02:41:56.400 --> 02:42:03.200]  the GOP speaker will face a chamber in chaos. That is today. He and his team have struggled
[02:42:03.200 --> 02:42:08.720]  to maintain control. The floor in recent weeks is made clear by the recent unsanctioned push
[02:42:09.360 --> 02:42:12.800]  from rank-and-file members to release the Epstein files. But that's not the end of it.
[02:42:13.520 --> 02:42:19.600]  Members of both parties are increasingly feeling emboldened to buck party leadership, forcing votes
[02:42:19.600 --> 02:42:24.080]  on personal priorities, including a spate of recent votes to punish fellow lawmakers.
[02:42:24.880 --> 02:42:31.600]  Mike Johnson said, I would like to just get back to normal Congress. Well, it was recently on a show
[02:42:31.600 --> 02:42:37.360]  where he was talking about how frustrating it was. And it was pretty clear that what he was talking
[02:42:37.360 --> 02:42:41.520]  about was the fact that he's not his own man. He just does whatever Trump tells him to do.
[02:42:42.080 --> 02:42:48.160]  He finds that very frustrating, just like the rest of the people in the House find it frustrating
[02:42:48.160 --> 02:42:52.480]  that they have no say in what they want to do, that Mike Johnson is dictating that to them.
[02:42:53.200 --> 02:42:58.320]  And so then we have Marjorie Taylor Greene leaving. It's not just her. Like I said,
[02:42:58.320 --> 02:43:03.760]  it's going to be 18 Republicans and eight Democrats. And they said more retirement
[02:43:03.760 --> 02:43:08.640]  announcements are expected around the holidays. You know, people get out of Washington and they
[02:43:08.640 --> 02:43:13.280]  look at the normal world and it's like, I don't want to go back to that place. And so they usually
[02:43:13.280 --> 02:43:19.840]  have a lot of people who come back and say that. As a matter of fact, they quote a Democrat,
[02:43:19.840 --> 02:43:26.720]  Emanuel Cleaver from Missouri, who is a Methodist pastor or was, he says,
[02:43:26.720 --> 02:43:31.440]  As I told my family last night, the House has just had a nervous breakdown. I don't know
[02:43:31.440 --> 02:43:34.800]  what kind of drug we need, but it's time for somebody to give us a prescription.
[02:43:35.760 --> 02:43:39.280]  He said, members are talking about it amongst ourselves. What's going on with this place?
[02:43:40.400 --> 02:43:45.600]  He said he's had to arrange for more security when he's at home because of death threats
[02:43:45.600 --> 02:43:51.840]  that people in Congress are getting increasingly. And with the House gone for 54 days during the
[02:43:51.840 --> 02:43:57.040]  historic government shutdown, it only took a week for drama to overtake the lower chamber. In just
[02:43:57.040 --> 02:44:02.000]  five days, lawmakers brought forward four resolutions to punish various colleagues.
[02:44:02.880 --> 02:44:08.160]  After not being in session for so long, one week has got everybody ready to go home.
[02:44:09.120 --> 02:44:13.280]  After the Epstein push, more lawmakers in both parties now eager to force their own votes using
[02:44:13.280 --> 02:44:18.880]  the discharge petition, once rarely successful, but now increasingly part of a member strategy
[02:44:18.880 --> 02:44:26.480]  to work around Johnson. So what is Johnson's cure for this? What is the Johnson syndrome of power?
[02:44:26.480 --> 02:44:30.080]  Well, he wants to get rid of the discharge petition. So you've got a way to work around
[02:44:31.200 --> 02:44:35.680]  what I do. I'm going to control what gets to the floor. It's got to come through me.
[02:44:35.680 --> 02:44:39.280]  If we don't like something, it never gets brought up for vote or discussion.
[02:44:40.080 --> 02:44:43.280]  And so now he wants to shut down the discharge orders as well.
[02:44:44.480 --> 02:44:51.840]  So again, when you look at all of this and you look at the threats of political violence that
[02:44:51.840 --> 02:44:56.480]  people are getting all the time, it's not a surprise that Marjorie Teller Greene would want
[02:44:56.480 --> 02:45:02.640]  to get out. I think she has other things in mind as well. And she knows that regardless
[02:45:03.520 --> 02:45:09.040]  of whether these accusations that'd be made against her from all these Zionist billionaires
[02:45:09.040 --> 02:45:14.320]  with all their money running and character assassination things, it would damage her,
[02:45:14.320 --> 02:45:19.840]  whether it was true or not, just by the sheer volume and repetition of the lies. And so
[02:45:20.960 --> 02:45:25.200]  it's probably a pretty smart move if she wants to run for governor or senator or president or
[02:45:25.200 --> 02:45:32.160]  whatever her ambition is. But Trump, by the way, when we look at his financial stuff,
[02:45:32.160 --> 02:45:37.120]  maybe one of the reasons why he was in such a bad mood was because his bets on his brands
[02:45:37.120 --> 02:45:44.080]  have really gone south, says Wall Street Journal. They have soured. Stocks and cryptocurrencies
[02:45:44.080 --> 02:45:50.720]  tied to the president and his family have tumbled amid a broader route of riskier assets.
[02:45:51.600 --> 02:46:01.040]  They point out that the Trump coin is down 86% and the Melania coin is down 99% since they went
[02:46:01.040 --> 02:46:06.080]  public. And it said one of the Trump family's crypto ventures, a token called World Liberty
[02:46:06.080 --> 02:46:12.320]  Financial, has dropped roughly 40% since its September launch. So with the Melania coin,
[02:46:12.320 --> 02:46:23.760]  it's a bear market. Yeah. Well, her Melania coin is down 99%. And there was a report a couple weeks
[02:46:23.760 --> 02:46:28.640]  ago that it was less valuable than another meme coin, the fart coin.
[02:46:32.880 --> 02:46:36.720]  You have to understand, fart coin is the only thing holding up the American economy. And when
[02:46:36.720 --> 02:46:42.880]  fart coin goes to zero, we're all doomed. That's right. Maybe we live in Melania's down, farts are
[02:46:42.880 --> 02:46:52.880]  up. Maybe Trump should rename his coin old fart coin. That might bring it back. Who knows?
[02:46:52.880 --> 02:46:58.960]  If people want to get a fart coin like a Dogecoin, comment here and then we'll go to breaks.
[02:46:58.960 --> 02:47:04.960]  Nibiru2029 says the CIA drug lords will not stand for any independent competition.
[02:47:05.760 --> 02:47:10.640]  Yeah, that's right. Good movie about the CIA is The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon. Very,
[02:47:10.640 --> 02:47:15.520]  very creepy. Very, very disturbing. Shows you all kinds of weird stuff they get up to.
[02:47:15.520 --> 02:47:20.000]  Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, we're going to take a quick break and just remind you, we're going to be
[02:47:20.000 --> 02:47:28.000]  playing Christmas songs between now and Christmas holidays. And we do still have the Christmas
[02:47:28.000 --> 02:47:33.760]  night album that is up and we're going to have a couple of new songs that we will be playing for
[02:47:33.760 --> 02:47:40.160]  you soon. They are, we don't have enough new songs to do an album. It was kind of a rough year this
[02:47:40.160 --> 02:47:47.200]  year. Yeah, it's been kind of one thing after the other. But anyway, here's our ad from last year
[02:47:47.200 --> 02:47:54.080]  about the Christmas night album. I wish I had a Christmas night album. You can get the Christmas
[02:47:54.080 --> 02:48:00.320]  night album at the davidnightshow.com for just $13.99. There's right in the second floor there,
[02:48:00.320 --> 02:48:08.880]  see? What'd you wish, George? Well, not just one, it's a whole hat full of them. First I'm going to
[02:48:08.880 --> 02:48:14.400]  the davidnightshow.com and purchase the Christmas night album. Then I'm going to listen to Christmas
[02:48:14.400 --> 02:48:18.560]  classics like, what are you going to throw it on? I want the Christmas night album too.
[02:48:20.800 --> 02:48:21.760]  Hey, that's pretty good.
[02:48:31.760 --> 02:48:36.640]  David's Christmas night album includes 21 instrumental Christmas melodies like
[02:48:36.640 --> 02:48:41.360]  God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, and as all new, I'll Be Home for Christmas.
[02:48:42.080 --> 02:48:47.520]  What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around and pull it
[02:48:47.520 --> 02:48:55.120]  down. I'll take it. And what? And then I'll buy you your own download of David Knight's Christmas
[02:48:55.120 --> 02:48:59.280]  night album.
[02:49:09.680 --> 02:49:14.800]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of
[02:49:14.800 --> 02:49:20.960]  compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing
[02:49:20.960 --> 02:49:27.600]  organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[02:49:27.600 --> 02:49:34.480]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as
[02:49:34.480 --> 02:49:41.280]  well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from
[02:49:41.280 --> 02:49:47.520]  starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and education she needs to reach
[02:49:47.520 --> 02:49:54.320]  her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion
[02:49:54.320 --> 02:50:01.040]  not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion.
[02:50:01.040 --> 02:50:08.000]  The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's
[02:50:08.000 --> 02:50:13.760]  life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.
[02:50:13.760 --> 02:50:18.800]  Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.

[02:50:50.000 --> 02:50:56.160]  That's right, boys and girls. There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
[02:50:56.880 --> 02:51:04.560]  Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold. It's time to buy some metals with fiat dollars
[02:51:04.560 --> 02:51:12.560]  before they come to their sense is. Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wisewolf
[02:51:12.560 --> 02:51:18.400]  himself, Tony Arterburn. He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
[02:51:33.920 --> 02:51:38.960]  Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown.
[02:51:38.960 --> 02:51:42.560]  Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com.
[02:51:44.880 --> 02:51:50.080]  Yeah, so last year we had the pun time to get silver and gold before people come to their sense
[02:51:50.080 --> 02:51:59.520]  as and before, you know, the crypto fad around Trump got a bit old. Who would have thought that
[02:51:59.520 --> 02:52:03.760]  Trump would ban the penny that we held up there, but that's kind of the way that it's been this
[02:52:03.760 --> 02:52:10.400]  last year. And so now we got, you know, silver and gold. It was all gold until just recently.
[02:52:10.400 --> 02:52:16.880]  And then over the weekend, silver exploded in a rally that's reshaping the metals bull market.
[02:52:17.600 --> 02:52:24.560]  And again, we had reported that there had been drastic shortages of silver, that for five years
[02:52:24.560 --> 02:52:30.560]  they've been using more silver because it is consumed than they are mining. And so
[02:52:31.360 --> 02:52:37.280]  as this Kitco article points out, gold has broken away from the rest of the precious metals pack
[02:52:37.280 --> 02:52:43.840]  thanks to its role as a true monetary metal. Central banks have been driving unprecedented demand as
[02:52:43.840 --> 02:52:49.600]  they look to diversify away from fiat currencies and then to something more stable and tangible.
[02:52:50.240 --> 02:52:56.640]  Silver, with all of its volatility, simply didn't fit the bill for the official sector holders.
[02:52:56.960 --> 02:53:04.000]  But that singular demand has pushed the silver gold ratio to extremes. In April, it soared above
[02:53:04.000 --> 02:53:11.440]  a hundred, a five-year high, and miles away from its long-term average of between 50 and 60, the
[02:53:11.440 --> 02:53:18.080]  ratio of the price of gold to silver. So silver usually outperforms because of its volatility.
[02:53:18.960 --> 02:53:24.320]  Instead, it has lagged for years, casting a shadow of skepticism over the whole precious
[02:53:24.320 --> 02:53:32.000]  metals trade. But that skepticism is folding fast. Silver is ending the week at a record high
[02:53:32.000 --> 02:53:42.000]  above $56 an ounce. It is up an eye-popping 97 percent since January. Gold, meanwhile,
[02:53:42.640 --> 02:53:52.400]  is around $4,200, a year-to-date gain of nearly 61 percent. And again, it's not that they're
[02:53:52.400 --> 02:53:56.720]  going up in value. It's that the dollar is going down in value and that these are being priced
[02:53:57.520 --> 02:54:04.960]  in the U.S. dollar. The ratio between the two, silver and gold, which hit a hundred in April,
[02:54:04.960 --> 02:54:11.680]  has now plunged to 74. Investors are finally waking up to how scarce silver has become.
[02:54:12.320 --> 02:54:18.000]  Industrial demand, tied to the accelerating electrification of the global economy,
[02:54:18.000 --> 02:54:25.280]  has produced significant supply deficits for five straight years. We saw the first big wave at the
[02:54:25.280 --> 02:54:30.640]  start of the year when massive volumes of silver poured into the U.S. as traders braced for
[02:54:30.640 --> 02:54:38.240]  potential tariffs under Trump's global war of trade. Silver ultimately wasn't tariffed,
[02:54:38.240 --> 02:54:43.440]  but the fear never fully dissipated, especially after Washington officially labeled it a critical
[02:54:43.440 --> 02:54:50.240]  metal. All of that extra metal sitting in the U.S. then tightened physical inventories elsewhere,
[02:54:50.880 --> 02:54:54.240]  especially in London's over-the-counter market. One thing they leave out of this article that
[02:54:54.240 --> 02:55:03.040]  we reported on earlier was the mania about getting silver as part of an Indian religious ceremony.
[02:55:03.040 --> 02:55:08.160]  Typically, they would go out and they would get gold or whatever, but they had some Indian
[02:55:08.160 --> 02:55:14.000]  influencers who said, this year you should get silver. They all jumped into getting silver,
[02:55:14.000 --> 02:55:20.560]  which caused a big shortage on the London market as well. Some silver did leave the U.S. and China
[02:55:20.560 --> 02:55:28.160]  as traders chased those premiums, but rising demand in Asia and India especially only deepened
[02:55:28.160 --> 02:55:35.200]  the supply crunch. Silver could flow out of the U.S. vaults, but then that would just shift
[02:55:35.200 --> 02:55:42.400]  the next supply crunch west. With demand surging and no easy supply fix in sight, analysts say
[02:55:42.400 --> 02:55:48.320]  silver's newfound strength may be more than just a short-term burst. And of course, it has helped
[02:55:48.320 --> 02:55:54.480]  to push gold as well, since the two of them are lumped together as precious metals. So you have
[02:55:54.480 --> 02:56:03.920]  Wall Street bulls moved up through $4,200 on Friday. Main Street adds to the bullish momentum after
[02:56:03.920 --> 02:56:10.480]  a 3.5% weekly gain. So now it's getting to the point where Main Street is getting into this,
[02:56:10.480 --> 02:56:18.000]  not just Wall Street or the central banks. You got Morgan Stanley saying gold will hit $4,500 an
[02:56:18.000 --> 02:56:26.480]  ounce, they believe, by mid-2026. And the reason they give is because of ETFs, central bank demand,
[02:56:27.120 --> 02:56:36.640]  and hedging of real assets. And so again, when you look at, they focus kind of on the ETFs,
[02:56:37.200 --> 02:56:44.080]  and that's the trade out of the Shanghai Gold Exchange, where you have these two big funds,
[02:56:44.080 --> 02:56:50.320]  GLD for gold and SLV for silver, where you get the paper, gold and silver that we talk about.
[02:56:50.960 --> 02:56:57.600]  You're not really buying gold and silver with that. You're buying into a fund that owns gold
[02:56:57.600 --> 02:57:01.920]  and silver, and it doesn't track the price of gold and silver going up or down.
[02:57:01.920 --> 02:57:05.760]  You're buying into a fund that allegedly owns gold and silver.
[02:57:05.760 --> 02:57:10.720]  Yeah, and you don't know if they get it or not. And so they're scrambling around to get gold and
[02:57:10.720 --> 02:57:20.240]  silver for these funds, they say. But there's a troubling amount of people between you and the
[02:57:20.240 --> 02:57:24.960]  gold and silver, as far as I'm concerned with this stuff. I don't trust it. But I think an even
[02:57:24.960 --> 02:57:34.080]  bigger factor than the ETFs is going to be stable coins. ETFs, when they talk about Main Street,
[02:57:34.080 --> 02:57:39.520]  that's the way a lot of people are buying into gold and silver, is with these ETF funds. Because
[02:57:39.520 --> 02:57:44.720]  it's easy to do, and it's like a stock or something. So if somebody wants to get out
[02:57:44.720 --> 02:57:49.360]  of the stock market, the first thing they think is, well, I'll buy the silver and gold ETFs,
[02:57:49.360 --> 02:57:54.800]  because it's very much like a stock market trade. But it's too much like a stock market trade.
[02:57:54.800 --> 02:58:00.640]  I think, though, that stable coins, like Tether and others, are going to really drive the price
[02:58:00.640 --> 02:58:04.960]  of gold up, because they're going to be accumulating a lot of it as well. Anybody that
[02:58:04.960 --> 02:58:10.080]  wants financial credibility, whether it's central banks, or whether it is stable coins,
[02:58:10.080 --> 02:58:14.160]  or whether it's the brick... Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're
[02:58:14.160 --> 02:58:20.320]  doing for just one minute, and I want you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community
[02:58:20.320 --> 02:58:26.400]  with very few resources and little to no healthcare. So when Alejandra gets sick,
[02:58:26.400 --> 02:58:33.280]  her parents have no real options, no doctors in their community, and no money for real medical
[02:58:33.280 --> 02:58:39.280]  care. By the third day, her body was shutting down. She woke up, and just long enough to tell
[02:58:39.280 --> 02:58:47.280]  her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going. Her parents drove hours to find a
[02:58:47.280 --> 02:58:53.120]  doctor who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital, and that was impossible
[02:58:53.120 --> 02:58:58.960]  for her family to afford. And that is when Compassion International stepped in. Now,
[02:58:58.960 --> 02:59:05.680]  through Compassion, Alejandra was treated, and against all odds, she survived. She lived
[02:59:05.680 --> 02:59:11.440]  because someone just like you took action. Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[02:59:11.440 --> 02:59:18.080]  just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in. Compassion International
[02:59:18.080 --> 02:59:24.560]  partners with local churches, providing children with the support that they need. Critical medical
[02:59:24.560 --> 02:59:33.520]  care plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name. So help a child just

[03:00:11.520 --> 03:00:20.400]  ...countries. Everybody wants to have gold to bolster the real value of what they have,
[03:00:21.200 --> 03:00:29.360]  because everything else is kind of derivative from that. Stablecoins are really a way for them
[03:00:29.360 --> 03:00:35.440]  to move away, to try to get Federal Reserve notes, which the central banks and other
[03:00:35.440 --> 03:00:41.200]  governments don't want to buy as much anymore. They're turning away from that. So the strategy
[03:00:41.200 --> 03:00:46.880]  is to try to get the retail trade to buy it. The way they do that is to get people to put their
[03:00:46.880 --> 03:00:51.600]  money into stablecoins. But they're not going to be stable, and they're not going to be keeping
[03:00:51.600 --> 03:00:57.520]  their value unless the stablecoins start buying gold and things like that. So I think there's
[03:00:57.520 --> 03:01:08.560]  going to be a big move into the stablecoins. They want to protect the U.S. government. Trump is
[03:01:08.560 --> 03:01:15.840]  going to give them the keys to the kingdom to do that. So they want to protect the U.S. bonds by
[03:01:15.840 --> 03:01:22.320]  being a holder of U.S. bonds and spreading that out globally at the retail level. But there's also
[03:01:22.320 --> 03:01:29.680]  the desire by these people who are running this, people like Lutnik and people like Eric Trump,
[03:01:29.680 --> 03:01:34.080]  who are saying that stablecoins are going to replace banks. And they don't just mean
[03:01:34.080 --> 03:01:40.560]  the local banks. They mean all banks, including central banks. They want to be the ones who are
[03:01:40.560 --> 03:01:46.720]  buying and keeping the treasury bills. But it is something where they talk about the getting
[03:01:46.720 --> 03:01:53.040]  rid of the penny. That is the key function, I think, performed by these local banks. The
[03:01:53.040 --> 03:01:58.640]  fact that when you pay for something in cash, that merchant can take the cash and put it in
[03:01:58.640 --> 03:02:04.720]  their bank account. And if they don't have a local bank to do that with, I'm not really sure what
[03:02:04.720 --> 03:02:09.360]  happens to the cash trade. It's going to be very difficult, especially when you've got something
[03:02:09.360 --> 03:02:15.040]  that's fast and divisible like a stablecoin. But as Peter Schiff pointed out, if they start
[03:02:15.040 --> 03:02:21.680]  accumulating gold, you could wind up having the real cryptocurrency backed by gold rather than it
[03:02:21.680 --> 03:02:29.280]  being something like Bitcoin. Another thing about this, if the price increase of gold is being
[03:02:29.280 --> 03:02:35.680]  pushed by these companies buying it up for ETFs and people buying ETFs, when all that collapses,
[03:02:35.680 --> 03:02:40.640]  when people realize that they don't actually own the gold that they think they do on paper,
[03:02:40.640 --> 03:02:45.520]  that is going to cause the price to go up. There's going to be a lot less gold in circulation than
[03:02:45.520 --> 03:02:49.760]  people realize. Because if you look at these things, I think most, if not all, ETFs-
[03:02:49.760 --> 03:02:55.200]  Tony is mentioning that as well. It's like this is a kind of a shell game when people realize
[03:02:55.200 --> 03:02:59.520]  it's a fraud. It's really going to get people scrambling for the real stuff, the physical stuff.
[03:02:59.520 --> 03:03:06.000]  Yeah. I mean, you look at the ETFs, if they're selling these assets for less than the gold that
[03:03:06.000 --> 03:03:12.800]  they claim to have is worth, then how are they making money? Clearly, there's some suspicious
[03:03:12.800 --> 03:03:16.720]  thing going on. They aren't just giving away gold for less than they're paying for it.
[03:03:16.720 --> 03:03:22.960]  Yeah, that's right. I don't like tokenized assets at all. And that's basically what these ETFs are.
[03:03:22.960 --> 03:03:33.200]  So we've got Morgan Stanley and also UBS, both of them picking a price of $4,500 by mid-2026.
[03:03:36.480 --> 03:03:44.000]  That makes sense because we are going to see accelerating chaos as the fourth turning draws
[03:03:44.000 --> 03:03:48.560]  closer and closer to a finale. But think about that. Where it is right now, it's about $4,200.
[03:03:48.560 --> 03:03:54.960]  If it goes up to $4,500 by the middle of next year, let's say another six months or so,
[03:03:55.600 --> 03:04:03.440]  that's a 7% higher in six months. You're not going to find any investments that you as an
[03:04:03.440 --> 03:04:08.560]  individual can make that are going to pay that kind of yield, if that is true. Again, UBS raised
[03:04:08.560 --> 03:04:16.240]  its 2026 mid-year gold target to $4,500 an ounce, up from $4,200 previously because it's just hit
[03:04:16.240 --> 03:04:24.800]  that. The bank also raised its upside target for gold by $200 to $4,900 per ounce on a possible
[03:04:24.800 --> 03:04:33.360]  spike of political and financial risks. But they maintained their downside case at $3,700 per ounce.
[03:04:34.240 --> 03:04:43.360]  UBS analysts said on the downside, they said that there is a potential for federal hawkishness.
[03:04:44.080 --> 03:04:50.000]  I don't think there is a chance of that. Remember that this year Trump gets to take control of the
[03:04:50.000 --> 03:04:59.120]  Federal Reserve in 2026 because Powell is going to be out and Trump is going to have a say as to who
[03:04:59.120 --> 03:05:04.880]  the next person is going to be. Who is Trump going to put in there? He's going to put in somebody
[03:05:04.880 --> 03:05:11.440]  who is going to monetize the debt, who is going to print money, do quantitative easing, lower
[03:05:11.440 --> 03:05:16.080]  interest rates. All of that is going to feed gold. I don't think there is going to be any
[03:05:16.080 --> 03:05:22.480]  federal hawkishness. I don't think there is a chance of that. If it happens at all,
[03:05:23.120 --> 03:05:28.080]  it would be very, very short-lived and then everything is going to go in the opposite direction.
[03:05:31.360 --> 03:05:37.040]  Demand has now shifted to China for silver as reserves on the Shanghai Gold Exchange have
[03:05:37.040 --> 03:05:43.520]  fallen to their lowest level in decades. How do you even know what they've got? Just trust them,
[03:05:43.520 --> 03:05:50.800]  right? Do you want your money Shanghai? Do you trust the Chinese government that is involved
[03:05:50.800 --> 03:05:57.760]  in these things as well? So it is kind of interesting. Russia's central bank is forced
[03:05:57.760 --> 03:06:02.800]  to sell gold to cover the budget and to support the ruble. This is one of the things that
[03:06:03.760 --> 03:06:11.200]  will temper some of, not a hawkishness from the Federal Reserve, but if other things start to
[03:06:11.200 --> 03:06:17.200]  go south. For example, if you've got the big investors who have bought stocks on margin
[03:06:17.840 --> 03:06:21.920]  and if the stocks go down, they get called on it, they've got to cover that. What are they going
[03:06:21.920 --> 03:06:27.440]  to do? Well, if they've got gold, they're going to sell it because gold is up. So that's a way
[03:06:27.440 --> 03:06:36.400]  for them to cover their margin calls. So we could see on the downside of this, if the stock market
[03:06:36.400 --> 03:06:43.760]  bubble bursts, the mania bursts, then you could see people covering by selling gold. That is,
[03:06:43.760 --> 03:06:48.240]  something's being done with Russia, but it hasn't brought the price of gold down really.
[03:06:48.240 --> 03:06:53.680]  For the first time in history, the central bank of Russia has begun selling from its reserves
[03:06:53.680 --> 03:06:58.320]  directly into the domestic market, enabling banks and state-owned companies and investment
[03:06:58.320 --> 03:07:02.640]  firms to purchase sovereign gold, according to a report from Ukrainian News Service.
[03:07:03.520 --> 03:07:08.880]  This is a forced step. Gold is effectively becoming a tool to support the ruble,
[03:07:09.440 --> 03:07:16.640]  to patch up corporate liquidity and cover budget needs amid the rapid depletion of other resources.
[03:07:17.520 --> 03:07:23.440]  The move is unprecedented. Before 2025, the central bank of Russia never sold its gold
[03:07:23.440 --> 03:07:27.680]  to commercial market participants, only receiving it through the Ministry of Finance
[03:07:27.680 --> 03:07:32.320]  to increase its reserves. But the country's National Welfare Fund, seeing...
[03:07:32.320 --> 03:07:37.440]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of
[03:07:37.440 --> 03:07:43.600]  compassion really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing
[03:07:43.680 --> 03:07:50.240]  organization called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[03:07:50.240 --> 03:07:57.200]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as
[03:07:57.200 --> 03:08:03.920]  well. I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from
[03:08:03.920 --> 03:08:10.160]  starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and education she needs to reach
[03:08:10.560 --> 03:08:17.040]  God-given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion
[03:08:17.040 --> 03:08:23.760]  not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of compassion.
[03:08:23.760 --> 03:08:31.440]  The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[03:08:31.440 --> 03:08:36.480]  Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[03:09:12.400 --> 03:09:20.800]  Liquid assets decline from $113 billion in 2020 and 2022 to $51 billion in 2025.
[03:09:21.840 --> 03:09:26.720]  The central bank has no choice but to sell off its reserves. When you talk about those kinds of
[03:09:26.720 --> 03:09:33.920]  numbers and you realize just how much smaller the Russian economy is in terms of GDP and other
[03:09:33.920 --> 03:09:42.320]  things like that, it fell from $113 billion in 2022 to $51 billion and they have had about $200
[03:09:42.320 --> 03:09:50.320]  billion has been confiscated by the EU and the US. I'm sorry, $300 billion frozen Russian assets.
[03:09:50.320 --> 03:09:57.920]  So that's huge. The strategy of selling gold supposedly allows for prompt budget replenishment
[03:09:57.920 --> 03:10:03.200]  and ruble stability. They may be communists but they knew from the very beginning the value of
[03:10:03.200 --> 03:10:10.640]  gold. It was Max Warburg, the central banker in Germany and his brother Paul Warburg was the one
[03:10:11.200 --> 03:10:18.880]  who worked with JP Morgan to get the Federal Reserve put in. But Max Warburg sent Vladimir
[03:10:18.880 --> 03:10:27.040]  Lenin to start the Russian Revolution, gave him $10 million in gold and put him on a sealed train
[03:10:27.040 --> 03:10:31.280]  to go from Switzerland into Russia to start the revolution. So from the very beginning,
[03:10:32.240 --> 03:10:38.240]  the communists knew what real money was, didn't they, regardless of what happens here.
[03:10:38.240 --> 03:10:41.280]  Well, you have to know what's really valuable so you know what to steal.
[03:10:43.200 --> 03:10:50.960]  It is communism, isn't it? It's a justification for kleptocracy. Republicans are not actually
[03:10:50.960 --> 03:10:58.240]  interested in shrinking government, says the Mises.org. Again, it's always fake posturing
[03:10:58.320 --> 03:11:04.560]  and promises just like the Epstein files, just like promises of peace in this context. They're
[03:11:04.560 --> 03:11:09.360]  talking about Doge and the fact that the Office of Personnel Management says this doesn't exist
[03:11:09.360 --> 03:11:15.600]  anymore. They said it's hard to define where the effort to cut the federal bureaucracy stands today
[03:11:16.240 --> 03:11:23.040]  as anything other than a disappointment. Republicans are abandoning campaign promises
[03:11:23.040 --> 03:11:28.400]  to cut spending and that's nothing new, they said. Virtually every single Republican who's
[03:11:28.400 --> 03:11:34.320]  run for any federal office in the last 50 years or so is guilty of this. But the beginning of
[03:11:34.320 --> 03:11:41.280]  Trump's second term did feel different. Why? There was a genuine, palpable, bottom-up excitement for
[03:11:41.280 --> 03:11:46.960]  spending cuts. Fresh off the pandemic, where federal bureaucrats helped to lock the country down
[03:11:47.520 --> 03:11:52.080]  and then did their best to force everyone to take patented drugs from well-connected
[03:11:52.080 --> 03:11:57.360]  pharmaceutical companies to get their freedoms back. Let me just insert here, Mises, come on.
[03:11:57.360 --> 03:12:03.360]  This is Trump directing this one top. Don't leave him out of this. It wasn't the federal
[03:12:03.360 --> 03:12:09.120]  bureaucrats alone. He was directing all this. He was bribing and blackmailing people to do all these
[03:12:09.120 --> 03:12:17.280]  things and the federal bureaucrats were working for him. Nevertheless, because of this and the
[03:12:17.360 --> 03:12:22.000]  subsequent economic stagnation, and Thomas Massey knew this from the very beginning,
[03:12:22.000 --> 03:12:26.160]  he pushed back against all of this stuff. He said, you're destroying the country economically
[03:12:26.800 --> 03:12:33.840]  and as a result, that was the first person. He became the first person that Trump wanted to
[03:12:34.640 --> 03:12:40.640]  primary out because he opposed him on these damaging policies that were there.
[03:12:41.280 --> 03:12:45.360]  So, followed by years of relentless price inflation and economic stagnation,
[03:12:45.920 --> 03:12:50.880]  the federal officials said was an illusion emanating from the public's economic stupidity.
[03:12:51.600 --> 03:12:55.680]  Many Americans were understandably on board with the campaign to promise to gut the federal
[03:12:55.680 --> 03:13:01.600]  bureaucracy, but not the Republicans. It's just phony promises. And of course, Trump's not a
[03:13:01.600 --> 03:13:07.600]  Republican anyway. He's a tax and spend Democrat. Republican politicians derailed the effort
[03:13:08.320 --> 03:13:13.440]  because they completely accept the left-wing progressive falsehoods about programs that
[03:13:13.440 --> 03:13:18.320]  would have been cut. In the simplistic progressive narrative that dominates the media,
[03:13:18.320 --> 03:13:25.520]  the university system, and the Democrat party, government is primarily seen as a superhuman
[03:13:25.520 --> 03:13:32.560]  supplier of social services. Well, that's right. I mean, you know, they are so detached
[03:13:33.280 --> 03:13:41.760]  from fiscal reality by the fiction of the fiat dollar that they're like the, you know,
[03:13:41.760 --> 03:13:47.040]  superheroes that can fly. But I think they're really like Wile E. Coyote who's just run off
[03:13:47.040 --> 03:13:51.920]  of the cliff and is still running on thin air, but he's just looked down and realizes there's
[03:13:51.920 --> 03:13:58.160]  nothing underneath him. And at that point, he's going to plummet like a rock. And above him
[03:13:58.160 --> 03:14:08.080]  will be the crushing $38 trillion deficit or cumulative debt. And that'll come crashing down
[03:14:08.080 --> 03:14:14.720]  on him, just like Wile E. Coyote. Well, again, when we look at the GDP,
[03:14:16.560 --> 03:14:21.600]  there's a Russian writer saying, you know, this is a myth. You can't really measure the
[03:14:21.600 --> 03:14:27.360]  productivity of a country just in GDP. And he points out the fact that there was an economist
[03:14:28.000 --> 03:14:36.720]  in 2022 as the beginning of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine said Russia cannot win the war.
[03:14:36.720 --> 03:14:41.680]  Why, he said? Well, because he said their GDP is roughly equivalent to the combined output of
[03:14:41.680 --> 03:14:48.320]  Belgium and the Netherlands. Russia is an economic dwarf in Europe. And so therefore,
[03:14:48.320 --> 03:14:55.680]  its military operation was doomed. So the question I said, does GDP really give us an accurate
[03:14:56.240 --> 03:15:02.720]  representation of a country's strength? Not really. They point out this is something that
[03:15:03.520 --> 03:15:08.560]  was created by a Russian economist, a metric that was created by them and was made popular
[03:15:09.200 --> 03:15:17.040]  by Keynesian economics. And so after the war, GDP became entrenched in the grand architecture of the
[03:15:17.040 --> 03:15:24.800]  post-war order of Bretton Woods, the IMF, and Keynesian macroeconomic theory. Keynesianism
[03:15:24.800 --> 03:15:29.280]  sees the economy as a thermostat problem. If total demand is too low and output falls,
[03:15:29.280 --> 03:15:35.520]  the government must raise demand through fiscal spending and so forth. And yet we saw in the 1970s
[03:15:36.320 --> 03:15:43.280]  that Keynesian consensus broke down, largely because it was wrong. We had stagflation.
[03:15:43.840 --> 03:15:48.560]  How could that happen under Keynesian economics? Well, it can't. So we're about to go through
[03:15:48.560 --> 03:15:55.680]  something that I think will be the end of Keynesianism for good. And it will be good
[03:15:55.680 --> 03:15:59.600]  when you get rid of Keynesianism and deficit spending and fiat currencies.
[03:15:59.600 --> 03:16:06.240]  It's going to be a painful process, but you need to position yourself now into something that is
[03:16:06.240 --> 03:16:12.800]  outside this irrational system. And it's amazing that the Federal Reserve Chair was at Greenspan
[03:16:12.800 --> 03:16:19.200]  and said, irrational exuberance. That's what they've been selling you for a century, is irrational
[03:16:19.200 --> 03:16:25.840]  exuberance over the American dollar. Marky Mark, thank you for the tip, says with silver's spike,
[03:16:26.720 --> 03:16:33.680]  gold is only 72 times the price of silver now. It was 85 or thereabouts. That's right. It did get up,
[03:16:33.680 --> 03:16:40.800]  as the article said, to a hundredfold over the price of silver. That's right. We've got Skunkalo
[03:16:40.800 --> 03:16:45.840]  Rosegardens says, so Trump is going to make Nixon a martyr for being the subject of prosecution by
[03:16:45.840 --> 03:16:52.560]  his political opponents to soften his image for doing so. Nathan Bedford Forrest, 1865, Kissinger
[03:16:52.560 --> 03:16:57.680]  and Memo stated he cared not who was killed in the Cambodian bombing campaigns, kill anyone and
[03:16:57.680 --> 03:17:05.920]  everyone. Yeah, sounds like we're back in that same situation now, right? It's all cyclical. And he
[03:17:05.920 --> 03:17:10.000]  goes on to say, more bombs were dropped in just Cambodia than over Berlin and several German
[03:17:10.000 --> 03:17:16.800]  cities. The tonnage was astronomical. Bride B. Mack, surprise, they didn't make you take this
[03:17:16.800 --> 03:17:22.880]  commercial town like the Alfred Hitchcock one. I didn't put it up on Twitter. That's why. Yeah.
[03:17:23.440 --> 03:17:28.640]  Keep it a secret. Yeah. Just between us. Keep it secret. Keep it safe. So technically they
[03:17:28.640 --> 03:17:34.640]  shouldn't have any right to apply any copyright to It's a Wonderful Life since they let the
[03:17:34.640 --> 03:17:40.560]  copyright expire and then pulled that back by saying, oh, well, we copyrighted the script under
[03:17:40.560 --> 03:17:45.280]  book copyright, which has longer term. So therefore this is derivative of the script and therefore we
[03:17:45.280 --> 03:17:49.520]  should have the copyright to it. Yeah, that's right. It's the only copyright in the U.S. because
[03:17:49.520 --> 03:17:57.280]  again, the influence of the movie studios, you know, and the regulatory capture that we see
[03:17:57.280 --> 03:18:03.200]  because of that nowhere else do they recognize the copyright. They let it expire through a clerical
[03:18:03.200 --> 03:18:08.560]  error. And that's why it became so popular because a lot of people, it wasn't successful.
[03:18:08.560 --> 03:18:12.480]  And when it's first released, there's some hokey stuff in there at the beginning that
[03:18:12.480 --> 03:18:18.640]  always used to put me off. But I got past that and it is one of my more favorite films that are out
[03:18:18.640 --> 03:18:25.840]  there. Zooms pedals. Yeah. I mean, you know, Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, how could you go bad with
[03:18:25.840 --> 03:18:32.800]  that? Right. So anyway, Frank Capra was not one of his most popular films, but again,
[03:18:33.360 --> 03:18:40.160]  they don't really have legitimate copyright claim. But ours, of course, is still transformative and
[03:18:40.160 --> 03:18:44.720]  free use, even if it were copyrighted. That's right. That's right. And it certainly applies
[03:18:44.720 --> 03:18:50.720]  to the Hitchcock thing. The difference, though, is just lawfare. Right. Are we willing to I just
[03:18:50.720 --> 03:18:55.840]  didn't want to go through this whole, you know, fundraiser and everything they would take to do
[03:18:55.840 --> 03:19:00.320]  battle with these people. You know, they're out there trying to justify the big fees that they
[03:19:00.320 --> 03:19:06.560]  charge the Hitchcock estate so that they're looking for things to do. And, you know, they
[03:19:06.560 --> 03:19:14.240]  got deep limitless pockets and all that. Yeah, that's the part. If you're if you're in litigation
[03:19:14.240 --> 03:19:19.760]  with someone who has massive amounts of money more than you do, they can just bleed you dry.
[03:19:19.760 --> 03:19:25.040]  They never have to actually get you in court or get a judgment or anything. They can simply break
[03:19:25.040 --> 03:19:30.800]  you. But we will redo that commercial and we'll do it with an English butler that looks somewhat
[03:19:30.800 --> 03:19:35.040]  like Alfred Hitchcock, but won't be Alfred Hitchcock. You're just like a lot like him.
[03:19:35.040 --> 03:19:39.920]  But, you know, we'll remove some of those clues there because people need to understand the
[03:19:39.920 --> 03:19:45.120]  principle of the MacGuffin thing. It's very important. Skunk Hollow Rose Gardens. I would
[03:19:45.120 --> 03:19:50.720]  like to thank Wise Wolf Gold for my current record high for metal stacking over all value. Yes. And
[03:19:50.720 --> 03:19:55.840]  of course you can go to davidknight.gold if you want to start stacking gold or silver of your own.
[03:19:55.840 --> 03:20:00.560]  Let's him know you came through us. And that's the thing I like about Tony, you know, is the fact
[03:20:00.560 --> 03:20:06.400]  that he lets you accumulate gold gradually, right, on a regular basis. That's a very powerful thing
[03:20:06.400 --> 03:20:13.200]  to do. You know, if you save regularly and that is a great way to do it. And it also averages out the
[03:20:13.200 --> 03:20:18.880]  cost of the gold that's there. So you don't have to try to time it and buy a massive amount of it
[03:20:18.880 --> 03:20:24.960]  all at one spot, maybe pick a momentary high or low, but fortunately it's gone up. And all the
[03:20:24.960 --> 03:20:30.640]  factors that allowed us to say that gold was on sale last year because of irrational exuberance
[03:20:30.640 --> 03:20:36.560]  about Trump, those are all still there. We still have the massive deficit. We still have the central
[03:20:36.560 --> 03:20:41.600]  banks that are accumulating it. We still have everybody looking to reset the financial system.
[03:20:41.600 --> 03:20:48.000]  And so you have all these different wannabe power centers are all accumulating gold at the same time.
[03:20:48.000 --> 03:20:54.320]  And then it is a real hedge against politically uncertain times, which is the kind of times that
[03:20:54.320 --> 03:20:59.440]  we live in right now. And Tony works very hard to make sure he gets you all good deals. He's
[03:21:00.000 --> 03:21:05.680]  constantly busy. We, on our way back up from Texas, stopped in at his Denison location.
[03:21:05.680 --> 03:21:10.800]  It was wonderful. We got to hang out with him for a little bit. He got to meet our son. Our son got
[03:21:10.800 --> 03:21:16.080]  to meet Tony and Tony very graciously sent him back with his first little piece of silver.
[03:21:16.080 --> 03:21:21.200]  So he actually has his own little stack of metals and we need to continue to accumulate for him.
[03:21:21.200 --> 03:21:23.680]  Very small stack of metals, although he's very small himself.
[03:21:23.680 --> 03:21:24.000]  Yeah.
[03:21:24.000 --> 03:21:33.360]  We're going to take a quick break folks. We'll be right back.
[03:23:46.080 --> 03:24:01.280]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion
[03:24:01.280 --> 03:24:07.440]  really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[03:24:07.440 --> 03:24:13.680]  called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a
[03:24:13.680 --> 03:24:20.480]  nice idea. Sure. But I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[03:24:21.040 --> 03:24:26.240]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[03:24:26.240 --> 03:24:32.000]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and education
[03:24:32.000 --> 03:24:39.040]  she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[03:24:39.040 --> 03:24:45.680]  of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[03:24:45.680 --> 03:24:53.120]  compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally
[03:24:53.120 --> 03:24:59.440]  a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.
[03:24:59.440 --> 03:25:04.480]  Visit Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com.
[03:25:09.360 --> 03:25:13.680]  I only spend on Modo, America's social casino. You know, I've won a couple of majors and on Modo,
[03:25:13.680 --> 03:25:18.640]  I've won majors, grands and epic jackpots on their classic Vega slots with huge, huge bonus rounds.

[03:25:27.280 --> 03:25:38.400]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[03:25:42.960 --> 03:25:47.120]  Welcome back folks. And that's right. Merry Christmas from us here at The David Knight Show.
[03:25:47.120 --> 03:25:52.880]  It's December 1st, which means that the Christmas season is officially here and no one can fault you
[03:25:52.880 --> 03:25:57.280]  for playing Christmas music now. Marky Mark in New Jersey, thank you very much for the tip,
[03:25:57.280 --> 03:26:00.560]  he says, the part of Keynesianism everyone forgets is that the government needs to run
[03:26:00.560 --> 03:26:05.120]  surpluses in good times. It's not all deficit spending. Deficit spending should only be done
[03:26:05.120 --> 03:26:09.600]  in bad times. Yeah, that's right. We're all deficit all the time, baby.
[03:26:11.520 --> 03:26:17.920]  No surpluses ever. That's right. Wally Walrus, my Wolfpack collection is making money every month
[03:26:18.000 --> 03:26:24.720]  and of course. Well, actually the dollar is going down. Don't keep massive amounts of money in your
[03:26:24.720 --> 03:26:30.160]  checking account because it's like leaking out. It's a container that leaks. The government is
[03:26:30.160 --> 03:26:35.520]  continually stealing at your value. Narrow way, narrow gate ministries. They got rid of the penny
[03:26:35.520 --> 03:26:41.120]  and the stores are very low on pennies. They're beginning to round up to the nearest higher nickel.
[03:26:41.120 --> 03:26:44.640]  Yeah. The question becomes, when are they going to outmode the nickel? Because I can't imagine
[03:26:44.640 --> 03:26:49.600]  that's worth producing either. Well, and the whole fallacy of all that stuff is that
[03:26:54.960 --> 03:26:58.960]  the Federal Reserve is the one that really destroyed the penny. It's also amazing to me
[03:26:58.960 --> 03:27:04.080]  how little fanfare we got when the penny was just done away with. One of the most famous sayings,
[03:27:04.080 --> 03:27:08.960]  at least one you hear continually, is a penny saved is a penny earned. The penny doesn't exist
[03:27:08.960 --> 03:27:13.440]  anymore. We got rid of it. We just said, nah. Because you'll own nothing and you'll earn
[03:27:13.440 --> 03:27:17.440]  nothing. You won't have a job because they ought to take it and you won't own anything either. So
[03:27:17.440 --> 03:27:23.440]  get rid of the penny. But you used to go buy things with pennies, right? Not in my lifetime.
[03:27:23.440 --> 03:27:28.560]  Penny candy and stuff. So in your lifetime you used to sell bubble gum for a penny at the video
[03:27:28.560 --> 03:27:35.360]  stores. But that's how inflation is running. Bubble gum inflation. Yeah, that's right.
[03:27:36.000 --> 03:27:42.400]  It's a bubble. Real quickly, I know people asked about more pictures of the puppy. I sent one to
[03:27:42.400 --> 03:27:49.600]  Lance. He can pull it up. This is a picture of our son and the puppy. See, he can behave. We take
[03:27:49.600 --> 03:27:54.960]  very good care to monitor and make sure that he's calm and collected when he's dealing with our son.
[03:27:57.600 --> 03:28:02.560]  He's a very sweet dog, but he is a puppy. He wants to play. He gets very excited. And our son
[03:28:02.560 --> 03:28:07.040]  loves the puppy. He wants to play with him so badly, but they're both just a little bit too
[03:28:07.040 --> 03:28:11.680]  young to effectively play with each other. But they love each other and they'll be the
[03:28:11.680 --> 03:28:18.400]  best of friends here soon. So there's your puppy and baby update in case you were curious.
[03:28:18.400 --> 03:28:24.400]  Cute things. Well, here's your update on things economic as well as pharmaceutical stuff. I don't
[03:28:24.400 --> 03:28:29.040]  have time to get into the pharmaceutical things, but I wanted to begin by talking about how
[03:28:29.040 --> 03:28:37.440]  cash strapped Britain is selling off embassies. And I really, when I saw this, I immediately thought
[03:28:38.160 --> 03:28:47.120]  of Pfizer shaking down three South American countries. Remember, it was a worldwide
[03:28:47.120 --> 03:28:56.720]  conspiracy to shut down anybody that didn't get the jab. So you had three South American countries
[03:28:56.720 --> 03:29:05.280]  and two of them went public with the threats from Pfizer because the governments were going to shut
[03:29:05.280 --> 03:29:10.720]  down, travel and basically make it impossible to get in or out of these countries unless they
[03:29:11.840 --> 03:29:16.560]  gave the jab to their people. But they also knew that it was going to be harmful. They
[03:29:16.560 --> 03:29:19.840]  knew it was going to be harmful. It was the telltale sign because they said,
[03:29:20.480 --> 03:29:27.680]  you're going to hold us harmless even in terms of manufacturing defects and all the rest of stuff.
[03:29:27.680 --> 03:29:36.640]  We want all of these liability protections and we want you to collateralize that to guarantee that
[03:29:36.640 --> 03:29:42.080]  with assets that are outside of your country. Now, if that doesn't say that they know that
[03:29:42.080 --> 03:29:47.520]  they're committing a crime, what does? And so part of those assets, they said, we want to
[03:29:48.240 --> 03:29:53.920]  have you put up your embassies as collateral. And that's what's happening with the UK government
[03:29:53.920 --> 03:29:58.800]  now. They're trying to sell assets that they have in New York and other places. I mean,
[03:29:58.800 --> 03:30:05.200]  they had a big, elaborate complex in Bangkok, Thailand. Of course, the man formerly known as
[03:30:05.200 --> 03:30:08.960]  Prince Andrew didn't want to stay there. He wanted to go to a private hotel so he could get his 10
[03:30:08.960 --> 03:30:13.280]  hookers a day. But we'll have more on that tomorrow. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
[03:30:13.280 --> 03:30:14.560]  Merry Christmas. Yes.
[03:30:25.280 --> 03:30:26.080]  The common man.
[03:30:29.360 --> 03:30:34.240]  They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track
[03:30:34.240 --> 03:30:41.520]  and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist
[03:30:41.520 --> 03:30:47.120]  future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary,
[03:30:48.160 --> 03:30:52.640]  but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[03:30:54.800 --> 03:30:58.400]  That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[03:30:59.200 --> 03:31:05.360]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[03:31:05.360 --> 03:31:11.840]  everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and
[03:31:11.840 --> 03:31:17.360]  expose what they want to hire. Please share the information and links you'll find
