[01:24.640 --> 01:38.640]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
[01:46.480 --> 01:54.080]  As the clock strikes 13, it's the 15th of December, year of our Lord 2026. Today we're
[01:54.080 --> 02:00.480]  going to begin with the we missed the common sense anniversary that happened on Saturday,
[02:00.480 --> 02:06.640]  the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine's common sense. A lot has been said about this being the
[02:06.640 --> 02:11.600]  250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence coming up on July 4th. However,
[02:11.600 --> 02:18.240]  you can't have a declaration of independence without common sense and we don't have any
[02:18.240 --> 02:24.400]  common sense left today and we're talking about why that is. What was the central theme
[02:25.120 --> 02:31.520]  of common sense? We're going to take a look at that and we're going to take a look at how far
[02:31.520 --> 02:37.760]  away we are from that and have we lost the ability to not only critically think but even to read it.
[02:37.760 --> 02:45.280]  That appears to be the case with upcoming college freshmen. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
[03:07.760 --> 03:15.040]  And by the way, I didn't mention at the beginning, but Tony Arterbon is going to be joining us at the
[03:15.040 --> 03:20.080]  bottom of the hour here, just about a half hour. So, we're anxious to talk to Tony. So much has
[03:20.080 --> 03:26.000]  been happening. Unbelievable, isn't it? You know, it's the old saying says, you know, sometimes you
[03:26.000 --> 03:32.400]  have years that are compressed into just weeks and that really is the case. And we've had periods
[03:32.400 --> 03:36.880]  of time where really not much has happened, but that's not the time that we're living in right now.
[03:37.920 --> 03:42.400]  And so, the question is, you know, these are the kinds of times that try men's souls, right?
[03:43.120 --> 03:50.960]  The 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine's Common Sense was on January the 10th, this last Saturday.
[03:50.960 --> 03:56.080]  We didn't talk about that before, but I think, first of all, it's kind of interesting when you
[03:56.080 --> 04:03.360]  look at how pervasive that was. At a time when there was no government schooling,
[04:04.320 --> 04:09.840]  people had common sense. They had the ability to think critically. They had the ability to read,
[04:09.840 --> 04:15.440]  and America was full of readers. They grew up reading their Bible because it was a Christian
[04:17.120 --> 04:24.880]  society that was there at the time. This was a situation where the population of all the
[04:24.880 --> 04:29.920]  colonies at that time was only two and a half million. We've got cities that are far bigger
[04:30.000 --> 04:33.680]  than that right now, several of them, unfortunately, and they're not really very well run.
[04:34.720 --> 04:42.720]  But there was only two and a half million people in the 13 original colonies, and
[04:43.360 --> 04:49.040]  they printed up 10,000 copies of it, but there was so much demand that within three months they
[04:49.040 --> 04:55.840]  had sold 120,000 copies in a country of only two and a half million people. And they didn't just
[04:55.840 --> 05:04.080]  put them on the shelf. They read them. George Washington read it to his troops for morale
[05:04.080 --> 05:09.360]  purposes. This is why we're fighting. It's very important to understand that. And what was the
[05:09.360 --> 05:13.920]  central theme of it is what we're going to talk about. But before that, I just wanted to compare
[05:13.920 --> 05:20.480]  it to what we have here in the 21st century. If you go back and look at it, if you normalize that
[05:20.560 --> 05:26.320]  to the population, 120,000 copies to two and a half million people, that's about one copy for
[05:26.320 --> 05:34.880]  every 21 people, a lot of copies. And so do we have any books that have hit that kind of level?
[05:35.840 --> 05:43.760]  And actually, no. That'd be about 15 million copies in today's American population. We don't
[05:43.760 --> 05:47.840]  have any books that hit anything like that. As a matter of fact, the first Harry Potter book
[05:48.800 --> 05:52.960]  sold over eight million copies in the first 24 hours here in the United States.
[05:53.920 --> 05:59.840]  It went on with cumulative sales in the United States, the first one to sell 11 and a half million.
[05:59.840 --> 06:05.520]  Now, they did sell 15 million in the first 24 hours worldwide. Half of that was in the United
[06:05.520 --> 06:12.720]  States. But we're talking about the population of that comes down to even fewer per capita if
[06:12.720 --> 06:17.760]  you take it out to the entire world, billions of people. But we're talking about a country
[06:17.840 --> 06:25.520]  of two and a half million people, 120,000 copies of this thing. So it was a cultural touchstone,
[06:25.520 --> 06:30.880]  right? I mean, this is like Harry Potter, Star Wars, all the rest of stuff. And isn't it interesting
[06:31.520 --> 06:36.160]  how frivolous our society has become in terms of entertainment? I mean, we look at something
[06:36.160 --> 06:42.320]  that has that kind of cultural impact. The only thing we can do is movies or things like that,
[06:42.320 --> 06:47.120]  fiction, fantasy. That's the world that we live in. As a matter of fact, when you look at some of
[06:47.120 --> 06:53.680]  the other titles that even they didn't achieve what Harry Potter did, but that came close to it.
[06:54.400 --> 07:02.720]  You have titles like The Hunger Games or Fifty Shades of Grey, sci-fi, porn, you know, that's
[07:02.720 --> 07:09.520]  the kind of stuff that we consume today. There's not any serious discussions of what's going on.
[07:09.520 --> 07:18.480]  And he was, as World Magazine says, the original no-kings protester. That's right. That was a real
[07:18.480 --> 07:30.320]  central theme of common sense. The juxtaposition of rule by a dictator, by a king, versus the rule
[07:30.320 --> 07:37.680]  of law. That was the central issue there. And that is a central issue of our time as well.
[07:38.640 --> 07:45.840]  This is why I keep coming back to it. I don't care what the stated end is. I could agree with
[07:45.840 --> 07:51.280]  the stated end of Trump. Not that I necessarily believe that his policies, his tactics in terms
[07:51.280 --> 07:58.320]  of achieving that end would even work. But I do see them as being a very, very dangerous precedent
[07:58.320 --> 08:04.240]  that will be seized by the next person that's out there. Once that power is put in the Oval Office,
[08:04.320 --> 08:08.560]  it's going to stay. And it's going to be used by the next occupant, and the one after that,
[08:08.560 --> 08:14.720]  and the one after that. That is what is so dangerous about that. And that is the precedent
[08:14.720 --> 08:18.000]  in which we live now. You know, there were so many people that were accused in early American
[08:18.000 --> 08:24.480]  history of being kings. That was the accusation that was usually made, that somebody was ambitious.
[08:24.480 --> 08:30.160]  That's what they said about Lincoln, and that he wanted to be king. The same thing about Alexander
[08:30.160 --> 08:35.600]  Hamilton. Same thing about Andrew Jackson. He's imperial, and he acts like a king, that type of
[08:35.600 --> 08:44.080]  thing. That was a criticism. And yet now, Trump actually really embraces this. It's just like we
[08:44.080 --> 08:52.000]  talked about the idolatry of MAGA. Whoa, we're not worshipping him as God. I worship God,
[08:52.000 --> 08:58.000]  and he is my president. I really like that. No, you're putting your trust in Donald Trump.
[08:58.160 --> 09:04.720]  That is idolatry. As a matter of fact, this article from World Magazine says,
[09:04.720 --> 09:09.760]  well, you know, Thomas Paine got it wrong because his theology wasn't very well-informed.
[09:09.760 --> 09:14.880]  I mean, he really wasn't a Christian. Later on, he was something of a deist, but not so much even
[09:14.880 --> 09:22.160]  that. And he made some arguments on the Bible. And of course, one of them is coming from Samuel,
[09:22.320 --> 09:28.160]  where the people come to Samuel and they say, we want a king.
[09:29.520 --> 09:36.400]  And what does God say? He says to Samuel, they haven't rejected you as judge. They have rejected
[09:36.400 --> 09:44.080]  me. It's because they put their trust in kings. One of the reasons why in the 1950s in America,
[09:44.080 --> 09:50.560]  they put in God we trust. We don't trust in government. And yet these people said,
[09:50.560 --> 09:53.200]  we need to have a strong government. That's what's going to do it for us.
[09:53.200 --> 09:59.760]  That's the kind of idolatry that I accuse MAGA of. I think we can see it now. And I think we
[09:59.760 --> 10:05.600]  can see the fact that Trump kids about being a king and a dictator, but he wasn't really joking,
[10:05.600 --> 10:14.640]  was he? He really embraces it, even embraces it in his AI memes that he puts out. He puts on a
[10:14.640 --> 10:24.240]  crown and he drops excrement on his opponents. It's not a joke. The MAGA people are a joke,
[10:24.240 --> 10:28.240]  quite frankly. So do you want to have the dictates of a king or do you want to have
[10:28.240 --> 10:36.880]  the rule of law? For Trump, the law is in his mouth, whatever he says. That's why we call them
[10:36.880 --> 10:42.400]  dictators. Are you going to take dictation from him or are we going to use the constitution?
[10:43.120 --> 10:46.880]  And so you had a lot of people. That was always the insult. And that was the fear.
[10:47.440 --> 10:55.360]  When people saw George Washington, he was very impressive as an individual. He carried himself
[10:55.360 --> 11:00.560]  a lot of dignity and things like that. And people were just in awe of him, even as a person.
[11:01.440 --> 11:06.400]  And they were concerned. Many people with the constitution, have we created an office of a king?
[11:07.360 --> 11:12.160]  That has always been the concern. And now that concern has been realized. But
[11:12.160 --> 11:17.680]  George Washington gave his farewell address when he was 64. I'm going to step down. He did step
[11:17.680 --> 11:23.680]  down. He was only 65. And yet you've got people like Steve Bannon out there trying to activate
[11:23.680 --> 11:34.160]  the base saying, we're going to have a third term for Trump in his 80s, which again is not only
[11:34.160 --> 11:40.000]  violating the tradition that George Washington established, but also violating the law.
[11:41.200 --> 11:46.640]  And the whole aspect of saying that we're going to have Trump for a third term is really just
[11:46.640 --> 11:51.040]  doubling down on this. We don't care what the law says. We're going to do what we want. You try to
[11:51.040 --> 11:56.960]  stop us. We're going to find some way to get around both the letter of the law and the spirit
[11:57.040 --> 12:04.880]  of the law. That is a Trump administration. That is the enablers and the clowns who follow Trump
[12:04.880 --> 12:12.800]  like Steve Bannon. That is what they trade in. And they are traitors. The very fact that somebody
[12:12.800 --> 12:18.800]  wants to censor your speech, and we just saw this yesterday, we had the Pentagon under Warpete
[12:19.440 --> 12:23.200]  decided, you know, he didn't want to have people in the Pentagon as a press corps
[12:23.840 --> 12:26.880]  if they're going to report things that he hasn't okayed first.
[12:27.920 --> 12:31.360]  We don't want to have any independent thought. We don't want to have a free press. We don't
[12:31.360 --> 12:35.120]  want to have free speech. People who want to shut down free speech and the free press
[12:36.160 --> 12:41.040]  are the people who are admitting that they're criminals, that they've got something to hide,
[12:41.840 --> 12:46.880]  and they're always hiding behind national security. And so it's not a surprise to see
[12:46.880 --> 12:51.040]  this is something that's coming from the Pentagon. We'll talk about that in a moment here, but
[12:52.000 --> 12:56.400]  that is where we are right now. And so as they point out here,
[12:58.240 --> 13:04.080]  he called out Thomas Payne dead. He called out not just for resistance against the British
[13:04.080 --> 13:09.600]  government, but for independence from Great Britain entirely because common sense became
[13:09.600 --> 13:17.200]  an instant bestseller. And that is why I say you can't have the Declaration of Independence
[13:17.200 --> 13:23.520]  without common sense. That is what laid the groundwork for it. That's why it's very important.
[13:24.240 --> 13:30.960]  What we consume is entertainment. And it's why the communists worked so hard with Frank
[13:30.960 --> 13:35.200]  Frankfurt School and so forth to make sure that they were going to push their worldview
[13:36.320 --> 13:42.160]  through movies and entertainment. And so as they point out in world, they said,
[13:43.120 --> 13:47.280]  Payne did more than complain about particular wrongs that were committed by
[13:47.280 --> 13:52.640]  King George in Parliament. He articulated a broader political theory. The theory has
[13:52.640 --> 13:57.200]  more similarities to the Declaration of Independence than the Second Continental
[13:57.200 --> 14:03.280]  Congress would produce around six months later. Human beings were created equal, endowed with
[14:03.280 --> 14:10.560]  natural rights and formed governments out of pure political state of nature through consent.
[14:11.200 --> 14:16.320]  The governments the people formed then operated through representation and were intended to
[14:16.320 --> 14:22.480]  protect the rights of the people. Great Britain, he said, violated the principles of the government
[14:22.480 --> 14:28.560]  of the consent and government's purpose to protect rights. So you see, these are all themes that
[14:29.920 --> 14:36.720]  Jefferson didn't plagiarize this. This was really the American understanding even before Thomas
[14:36.720 --> 14:41.680]  Payne. He just was able to distill it and articulate it. And Thomas Jefferson did that
[14:41.680 --> 14:46.320]  as well in the Declaration of Independence. They were on the same page and they were reading the
[14:46.320 --> 14:55.120]  same books, right? And so they point out the violated consent on multiple levels
[14:56.480 --> 15:01.440]  with a hereditary monarch, also through the Parliament's aristocratic House of Lords.
[15:02.000 --> 15:05.600]  Moreover, it violated rights, among other ways, by its dismissive treatment
[15:06.240 --> 15:11.920]  of the colonists over the previous decade. Sorry if I'm stumbling over this because this print
[15:12.640 --> 15:17.600]  came out somehow for at about six points. It's very, very tiny. It's hard for me to see this,
[15:17.600 --> 15:24.320]  but the bottom line is that, as I said, this is World Magazine. And so they came back and they
[15:24.320 --> 15:30.880]  said, well, we think that he got it wrong in terms of his theology. Thankfully, the founders of the
[15:30.880 --> 15:37.840]  U.S. did not all go along with Payne's arguments. Payne had disdained separation of powers and
[15:37.840 --> 15:43.520]  checks and balances. For instance, he thought the best government would be a simple one in
[15:43.520 --> 15:49.760]  structure. He said complex institutional interactions would allow corrupt officials
[15:49.760 --> 15:58.880]  to hide the true blame of what was happening. Checks and balances were inherently contradictory
[15:58.880 --> 16:06.320]  to Payne. And so I disagree with World's assessment. Whether it's slots or live dealers,

[16:55.120 --> 17:10.400]  I think that he got it right. I think that we can see now when we look at checks and balances and
[17:10.400 --> 17:15.520]  things like that, we can see that these complicated structures, yes, they were very concerned
[17:15.520 --> 17:20.080]  about consolidation and concentration of power. So they divided the federal government into three
[17:20.080 --> 17:26.480]  parts. And they divided power between the states that created the federal government,
[17:26.480 --> 17:30.480]  and so they don't have any power that hasn't been delegated to them by the states.
[17:31.280 --> 17:36.560]  There is not, instead of a supremacy clause, the supremacy clause really is the 10th Amendment.
[17:37.280 --> 17:44.960]  10th Amendment that says that the states created the government, and they only give up certain
[17:44.960 --> 17:51.040]  powers specifically given up in the Constitution. But also, they divided the central government into
[17:51.040 --> 17:56.080]  three parts, and they divided power into three areas, the federal government, the states,
[17:56.080 --> 18:01.600]  and we the people. And we talk about the public. That really is the common people.
[18:02.560 --> 18:07.840]  And it really is an amazing thing when we see how national security is used over and over again
[18:07.840 --> 18:14.400]  to keep information away from the common people, from we the people. Privacy is very important.
[18:15.360 --> 18:20.960]  Our government doesn't appreciate privacy for individuals. It claims that public servants,
[18:21.920 --> 18:27.120]  the public government, should be private for them. Everything they do is private. That is
[18:27.120 --> 18:33.920]  an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. If it is something that is part of the government,
[18:34.640 --> 18:39.520]  it should be open and available to the common people, to the public. Everything they should
[18:40.320 --> 18:47.600]  do should be public. We don't need to know where you stashed your military, but we do need to know
[18:47.600 --> 18:50.800]  where all the money was spent and how it was spent, what it's being used for.
[18:53.600 --> 18:59.760]  This whole idea of national security, this Cold War paranoia has been used as a cloak
[19:00.480 --> 19:06.240]  to shield all of their lawless unconstitutional actions from us. And it's time we say that's
[19:06.240 --> 19:12.960]  enough. But I agree with them. Look at what we have in Washington now. You have a situation where
[19:13.840 --> 19:17.360]  it's not just between the Republicans and Democrats who are saying, well, I didn't do it,
[19:17.360 --> 19:21.040]  they did it, or they did it first, or what about what they did? What about ism?
[19:22.080 --> 19:27.600]  That's always an alibi for them, isn't it? Well, yeah, okay, Trump is acting like a lawless
[19:27.600 --> 19:34.400]  dictator, but look at Biden and look at Obama. It's like, that's not an excuse. We don't want
[19:34.400 --> 19:41.200]  to accept that as a precedent. But then also within government, Congress has created the
[19:41.200 --> 19:48.160]  bureaucracies purely for the purpose of not directly being involved. They create these
[19:48.160 --> 19:52.080]  bureaucracies, they hand the power over to them, they abdicate what they should be doing.
[19:52.800 --> 19:57.200]  And then when the bureaucracies do the wrong thing, they have an opportunity,
[19:57.200 --> 20:00.640]  if people get really upset about it, they have the opportunity to come in and pretend that they're
[20:00.640 --> 20:06.880]  your savior from the beast that they created because they didn't want to have the responsibility.
[20:06.880 --> 20:12.880]  They didn't want to create laws. And so we have rules that are created by unelected bureaucrats.
[20:14.080 --> 20:18.560]  And then they come back and say, well, because these are not laws, laws are created by your
[20:18.560 --> 20:24.640]  elected representatives. These are rules created by unelected bureaucrats. So you have no due process
[20:24.640 --> 20:30.480]  rights. Since it's not a law, since it's a rule, you now have no presumption of innocence. You
[20:30.480 --> 20:37.040]  get no due process. And you get no protection against excessive and unusual fines and punishments.
[20:38.080 --> 20:43.440]  This is a precedent that began with the IRS, and now it's metastasized to every one of these
[20:44.000 --> 20:49.440]  bureaucracies. And so they don't want to have accountability. And they're constantly passing
[20:50.080 --> 20:55.200]  the hot potato over to the other side and pointing the finger to somebody else.
[20:55.200 --> 21:00.160]  And so the president points the finger at Congress, and Congress points the
[21:00.160 --> 21:06.080]  finger at the Supreme Court, and on and on and on. They just keep passing the blame around.
[21:06.080 --> 21:12.720]  And so I think Payne was right about that. I think even though the idea of trying to divide
[21:12.720 --> 21:18.640]  power to keep it out, it really hasn't worked very well, has it? Do you see any checks
[21:19.280 --> 21:25.280]  on government power at this point in time? No. Do you see any balance between these branches
[21:25.280 --> 21:30.560]  of government? Do you see any balance between the state government and the state governments
[21:30.560 --> 21:34.320]  and the federal government that created it? No, they've turned that exactly upside down.
[21:34.320 --> 21:40.480]  And we the people have no power left whatsoever. The Constitution has not worked at all.
[21:41.360 --> 21:47.280]  And so they say, of course, the reading of Scripture, they put something says, finally,
[21:48.480 --> 21:55.200]  God inherently disapproved of kingship, as Payne claimed, because the stories of Gideon and of
[21:55.200 --> 22:01.440]  Samuel. Of course, this reading of Scripture says world ignored the passages and judges arguing that
[22:01.440 --> 22:08.480]  the anarchic condition of Israel was because there was no king in the land. Well, yes, but
[22:09.200 --> 22:17.280]  again, it was because they didn't make God the king. That was the real issue. And as Samuel's
[22:17.280 --> 22:26.400]  Israel, God was not the king. And so they're asking for a secular king was just a manifestation
[22:26.400 --> 22:33.680]  of what was in their hearts. And so we see that, don't we, in America? Don't we see it on both the
[22:33.680 --> 22:41.200]  left and the right? We see it in MAGA as much as we see it in Antifa. They don't want God,
[22:41.200 --> 22:46.880]  they want a king. That's what they put their trust in. Now, the people in MAGA, they say,
[22:46.880 --> 22:52.160]  no, no, we trust in God. And yet, what they really trust in, and what they really look to for
[22:52.160 --> 23:02.240]  deliverance, is politics, and particularly to Trump. And so, you know, a man cannot save,
[23:03.280 --> 23:07.920]  you know, a man cannot save us. And the people need to understand they can't serve two masters,
[23:07.920 --> 23:13.760]  right? Who's your master going to be? Especially when you look at this divided power, right?
[23:13.760 --> 23:17.440]  There's going to be a legislative, judiciary, executive branch. Who's going to be the master?
[23:18.000 --> 23:23.040]  You're not going to have, there was no mechanism, formal mechanism, that you could even point to to
[23:23.040 --> 23:29.680]  say, well, they're not really following that power sharing thing, right? But a person can only serve
[23:29.680 --> 23:37.120]  one master. And so there has been a back and forth, is it going to be Supreme Court supremacy?
[23:38.240 --> 23:43.280]  Or now is it going to be presidential supremacy? It's always been that struggle back and forth.
[23:44.080 --> 23:49.520]  Congress just wants to collect a paycheck. They're out of the running for all this stuff.
[23:50.400 --> 23:54.800]  Will it be the states that are supreme? Or will it be the central government that is supreme? That
[23:54.800 --> 23:59.920]  was what the Civil War was fought over. And so the Constitution is supposed to be the master,
[24:01.600 --> 24:08.000]  but it's people that are actually going to execute it. And we have people who ignore,
[24:08.960 --> 24:14.160]  people who prevaricate what it has to say. Those are the people that are in office. That's why
[24:14.160 --> 24:17.520]  when you look at things like Mark Levin's approach, the Liberty Amendments,
[24:20.000 --> 24:24.960]  any kind of constitutional convention is going to be run by the same people who ignore the
[24:24.960 --> 24:28.640]  Constitution now. They don't pay attention to the Constitution we've got now. So why would we
[24:29.440 --> 24:35.840]  let people of no character, oathbreakers like that, why would we let them write a new Constitution
[24:36.800 --> 24:43.200]  that they would then be free to ignore as well? It's a futile exercise. But the reality is,
[24:43.200 --> 24:48.960]  is that what is really at the heart of our problems, the same thing that was a problem
[24:48.960 --> 24:54.800]  with Israel when they wanted a king, we have rejected God. Now the people of
[24:56.320 --> 25:01.840]  colonial times understood the message of Thomas Paine, what they took away from it.
[25:01.920 --> 25:06.080]  It's not what World Magazine took away from it. They look at this and say, well, you know,
[25:06.080 --> 25:10.880]  God is king and we need to have gods. Yes, they understood that. And the Christians of
[25:10.880 --> 25:19.040]  colonial America, their slogan was, no king, but Jesus, right? Yes, Jesus is king. God is king.
[25:19.040 --> 25:26.160]  We'll have no others. Today, people look for salvation to secular governments. We're talking
[25:26.160 --> 25:32.720]  about America, Israel, whatever. So while re-reading Paine, let us exercise the common
[25:32.720 --> 25:42.880]  sense to recognize real kings from false kings, good from poor governments. And I think that
[25:42.880 --> 25:50.320]  they don't quite get it. I don't think there are any good secular kings. And we want to have the
[25:50.320 --> 25:56.640]  rule of law. That is what good government is. And yet we don't have that, do we? What we have
[25:57.440 --> 26:02.400]  is summarized by this interview with the New York Times of Donald Trump. Here's the audio from it.
[26:21.280 --> 26:27.120]  I don't need international law. I don't need the Constitution. Is there any check on your power?
[26:27.120 --> 26:32.560]  You wouldn't say the Constitution, right? I said for the longest time, this is a guy who has not
[26:32.560 --> 26:37.840]  only, you know, divorce has become very common, unfortunately, in our society, but this is a guy
[26:37.840 --> 26:45.280]  who not only divorced his wives, but then he proceeded to publicly humiliate them as much as
[26:45.280 --> 26:51.920]  he could, which is really reprehensible. And he does the same thing with the people that he puts
[26:51.920 --> 26:59.280]  in his cabinets. He flatters them absurdly when he puts them in. Oh, this guy is the best whatever,
[26:59.280 --> 27:04.960]  right? And then when he doesn't like something that they did, he throws them out and he follows
[27:04.960 --> 27:11.200]  them down the road, pouring scorn on them. Same thing he did with his wives. Why are we surprised
[27:11.920 --> 27:18.400]  that he would do this? And when we look at his morality, what a joke. What a joke that is.
[27:18.400 --> 27:25.200]  The same guy who just flipped out and flipped a finger at the guy who called him a pedophile
[27:25.200 --> 27:31.680]  protector, the guy hit the truth on the head. As a matter of fact, we'll talk a little bit about that
[27:31.680 --> 27:38.480]  in the aftermath of what's happened to that guy. But you have the Rutherford Institute,
[27:38.480 --> 27:41.600]  John Whitehead. This was picked up on Free Thought Project as well.
[27:42.400 --> 27:50.480]  What tyranny looks like now. There's not any crowns. There's not any coups. Just unchecked
[27:50.480 --> 27:56.480]  power. And that's really what is happening. This is a slow moving coup, except it's not really
[27:56.480 --> 28:01.040]  moving that slowly. Americans are being trained to accept what would have once been unthinkable.
[28:01.680 --> 28:08.080]  Law enforcement that kills without consequence. Presidents who operate above the law. Wars launched
[28:08.080 --> 28:13.440]  without consent. Powers exercised without accountability and without authority.
[28:14.960 --> 28:18.080]  Again, the New York Times saying, you see any checks on your power
[28:19.360 --> 28:25.520]  on the world stage? Is there anything that could stop you from doing what you want to do? No,
[28:25.520 --> 28:33.440]  he doesn't see any check on his power. Not with foreign issues, not with domestic issues. He's
[28:33.440 --> 28:40.560]  not going to follow any laws. He will be a law unto himself. It'll be his morality and his mind.
[28:40.560 --> 28:45.760]  And I would say that those are two zeros right there. What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here.

[29:49.840 --> 29:54.640]  published Common Sense, a pamphlet that gave voice to the discontent of a nation struggling
[29:54.640 --> 30:00.000]  to free itself from a tyrannical ruler who believed that power flowed from his own will
[30:00.960 --> 30:08.560]  rather than from the consent of the governed. And so the question we have today is can a people
[30:08.560 --> 30:16.320]  remain free if they place their faith in the virtue of one man? This is what I've been saying
[30:16.320 --> 30:22.560]  about MAGA idolatry all along. You know, it's all just a matter of degrees, right? I mean,
[30:22.560 --> 30:27.600]  they may not literally fall down on their feet and worship Trump, although many of them come very
[30:27.600 --> 30:34.400]  close to that. But it's what they put their trust in, right? You can make an idol out of money
[30:34.400 --> 30:41.200]  because you trust in it. And these people are trusting in Trump and his politics as their
[30:41.200 --> 30:48.320]  salvation. And so John Whitehead said, Trump, when asked about any checks on his power, he didn't
[30:48.320 --> 30:53.600]  point to the Constitution. He didn't point to the courts or Congress or the rule of law,
[30:54.560 --> 31:00.400]  as his oath of office and of our Constitutional Republic required. Instead, he pointed to himself.
[31:01.920 --> 31:08.240]  And I would say there was another notable thing that was missing, not just the fact that he didn't
[31:08.240 --> 31:13.840]  believe that he was accountable or bound by the Constitution, by courts, by Congress or the rule
[31:13.840 --> 31:21.520]  of law. He doesn't believe that he is bound by God. He's got his own morality. And I can't say
[31:21.520 --> 31:27.920]  that there's much evidence of it when you look at what the man is doing. America's founders believed
[31:27.920 --> 31:35.520]  in faith and morality, as John Adams warned in 1798. Avarice, ambition, revenge would break the
[31:35.520 --> 31:41.440]  strongest cords of our Constitution, just like a whale goes through a net. Now, let me ask you,
[31:43.680 --> 31:48.480]  when you look at the first year of Trump 2.0, and we could go back and include the last year
[31:48.480 --> 31:56.160]  of Trump 1.0, if you want, but when you look at especially his return, his avarice,
[31:57.360 --> 32:03.520]  look at how much money he's made, look at all how he has come in, grabbing money and using the power
[32:03.520 --> 32:09.200]  of government to ingratiate himself with foreign leaders. And so the avarice, the ambition,
[32:09.840 --> 32:17.680]  the revenge, isn't that pretty much covering all the basis of Trump's first year of his second term?
[32:18.640 --> 32:25.280]  And yet John Adams said avarice, ambition, and revenge would break the strongest cords
[32:25.280 --> 32:31.200]  of our Constitution, just like a whale going through a net. Absolutely right. He said our
[32:31.200 --> 32:36.720]  Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
[32:36.720 --> 32:41.280]  the government of any other kind of people. That's why we're in such big trouble.
[32:42.800 --> 32:47.280]  Adams was not advocating for theocracy, rather he was emphasizing that a government
[32:47.280 --> 32:54.080]  of liars, thugs, and thieves will not be bound by constitutional limits. That kind of government
[32:54.080 --> 32:59.520]  will treat these constitutional limits as inconveniences. Doesn't that look like what
[32:59.520 --> 33:04.880]  we've been seeing from Trump for the last year? The Trump administration has never been more obvious
[33:05.840 --> 33:12.880]  that we're governed by a bunch of liars, thugs, and thieves. A constitutional government survives
[33:12.880 --> 33:20.080]  only when both the people and their leaders are willing to be bound by the compact, by the
[33:20.080 --> 33:26.000]  Constitution, by the treaty, whatever you want to call it. And Trump is not willing to do that,
[33:26.000 --> 33:30.960]  not with the women that he told that he loved. He told us that he loves America as well.
[33:32.400 --> 33:38.560]  Yeah, that's the same type of thing. If our freedoms depend on Trump's self-proclaimed morality,
[33:38.560 --> 33:45.120]  we are in dangerous territory, because of course we haven't seen any evidence of his morality.
[33:45.920 --> 33:52.400]  Over the course of nearly 80 years, Trump has been a serial adulterer, philanderer, liar,
[33:52.400 --> 33:59.040]  a convicted felon. He has cheated, stolen, lied, plundered, pillaged, and enriched himself at the
[33:59.040 --> 34:06.000]  expense of others. He is vengeful, petty, unforgiving, foul-mouthed, and crass. His
[34:06.000 --> 34:13.360]  associates include felons, rapists, pedophiles, drug traffickers, sex traffickers, and thieves,
[34:14.640 --> 34:21.760]  many of whom he's pardoned. He disrespects the law. He disregards human life. He is
[34:22.800 --> 34:28.000]  ignorant of the Bible, illiterate of the Constitution, takes pleasure in others' pain
[34:28.000 --> 34:34.000]  and misfortune, and is utterly lacking in mercy, forgiveness, or compassion.
[34:35.760 --> 34:41.520]  That does sum it up. It's a good job from John Whitehead. He said,
[34:41.520 --> 34:45.520]  however, Christian nationalists have tried to whitewash Trump's behavior
[34:46.160 --> 34:52.320]  by wrapping religion in the national flag and urging Americans to submit to the government,
[34:53.040 --> 34:58.720]  to authoritarianism, an appeal that flies in the face of everything the founders risk their lives
[34:58.720 --> 35:05.040]  to establish. And I've got to say, it is anti-Christian as well. This misinterpretation
[35:05.600 --> 35:11.360]  of Romans 13, and we have seen it over and over again. Prime example was the pandemic. Obey your
[35:11.360 --> 35:16.240]  government. Just do whatever they say. And we keep seeing this. What was the response to the
[35:16.240 --> 35:23.920]  execution of that woman by that ICE agent, Renee Good? Okay, show your hands. Obey commands. That's
[35:23.920 --> 35:29.520]  it. All these people who keep coming after us saying, don't evaluate what the government does.
[35:30.080 --> 35:35.680]  Don't you dare think about whether or not this cop was doing the right thing or not. No, no. You
[35:35.680 --> 35:42.240]  just obey him, or he will kill you. And we hear that same lesson being given to us by many pastors.
[35:43.120 --> 35:45.920]  Obey the government. It doesn't bear the sword in vain.
[35:47.360 --> 35:52.080]  It's not for show. They'll actually use it on you. Well, that was not the message
[35:53.360 --> 36:00.880]  of God. That was not the message of the apostles either, or Christ. You do not obey authority when
[36:00.880 --> 36:08.480]  the authority is evil, when the authority is wrong. Romans 13 was descriptive of a good government.
[36:08.480 --> 36:19.760]  It was not descriptive of a legitimate government. Tony is ready and has been ready for a couple of
[36:19.760 --> 36:26.720]  minutes here, so thank you. Real quickly before we take a break, Angelo, 1999, when Christ is your
[36:26.720 --> 36:35.280]  king, bullets, bombs, and armies of thugs hold no weight. That's right. It's just a change of location,
[36:35.280 --> 36:42.480]  change of address. We'll be right back. We're going to connect with Tony here in just a second.
[36:42.480 --> 36:46.160]  Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression,
[36:47.200 --> 36:51.040]  in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
[36:53.680 --> 36:57.360]  It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
[36:58.640 --> 37:01.200]  The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
[37:06.240 --> 37:10.560]  Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
[37:10.560 --> 37:12.560]  Tomorrow, it will be something else.
[38:06.240 --> 38:08.800]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[38:14.480 --> 38:20.000]  All right. Welcome back. Joining us now is Tony Ardavan. I apologize for losing track of the time
[38:21.040 --> 38:26.640]  and we haven't lost track of Tony, but it might appear like that to the audience because it's
[38:26.640 --> 38:31.520]  been a while since Tony's been on. He took some time off for the Christmas holidays and things
[38:31.520 --> 38:36.000]  like that to try to get caught up. It's been a chaotic time, of course, in the metals market.
[38:36.000 --> 38:41.200]  Things have been moving incredibly quickly. I don't know how you do it, Tony. You take the
[38:41.200 --> 38:46.400]  time to come on at all. It's great to have you back. We're really anxious to talk to you with
[38:46.400 --> 38:52.560]  all the things that have been happening. We're now up over $4,600. Gold has gone high. We had
[38:54.400 --> 38:58.080]  well over $80 for silver. I don't know what the exact price is of silver. I don't follow
[38:58.080 --> 39:04.320]  this stuff on a day to day basis, but you do. It's really crazy times, isn't it? This last week,
[39:04.320 --> 39:10.560]  we just had both of them get a shot in the arm again from Trump because he wants to be the
[39:10.560 --> 39:16.080]  dictator of the dollar. He wants to be the one who's going to set this. You have to look at this.
[39:16.080 --> 39:22.000]  I can understand why the markets and why Wall Street investors would be scared of this.
[39:22.000 --> 39:26.400]  Just take a look at what he did with tariffs. It doesn't matter what you think about tariffs.
[39:26.400 --> 39:31.200]  It doesn't matter what you think about interest rates. Trump is going to be setting... If he's
[39:31.200 --> 39:34.000]  going to be the one setting interest rates, they're going to be varying based on what he
[39:34.000 --> 39:40.000]  had for breakfast this morning. It's going to be crazy, right? Well, the uncertainty is certainly
[39:40.000 --> 39:47.120]  there's an underlying driver of these prices that you can go with the traditional market forces,
[39:47.120 --> 39:52.800]  David. As I was saying off air, I think, and I started to notice this in the last quarter of
[39:52.880 --> 39:59.120]  2025 and towards December, I just said, I'm taking the rest of the month off of my shows,
[39:59.120 --> 40:06.080]  of appearances. I got to focus on my business because so many people were selling silver
[40:06.080 --> 40:10.400]  and because it was reaching new all-time highs and every week and something else was happening,
[40:10.400 --> 40:18.560]  new price drive. I've seen this accumulate over the last 30, 45 days and I'm just convinced now
[40:18.560 --> 40:24.320]  that we're in some sort of a fourth dimensional warfare between governments. I think silver is in
[40:24.320 --> 40:29.680]  a key playing role. It's Bret Ski. I don't know how they let me on this podcast, but while I'm
[40:29.680 --> 40:35.520]  here, I might as well tell you the only place to play blackjack roulette and live craps in Texas
[40:35.520 --> 40:44.640]  is spinquest.com, baby. That's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com. New users get a $30 coin package for only $10. I
[40:44.640 --> 40:49.920]  mean, that's a hell of a deal for all you 10 gallon hatwares down there in Texas.
[41:14.640 --> 41:32.560]  In the currency wars that are going on right now, I remember when Russia put
[41:33.280 --> 41:39.840]  silver as a strategic reserve asset, that story really stuck out with me. I've talked about it on
[41:39.840 --> 41:43.280]  your show. I talked about it on my show many times. I thought this should get a lot more coverage
[41:44.080 --> 41:48.960]  than it's getting. I don't think people really understood what that meant. That was the first
[41:48.960 --> 41:54.480]  time that a major government, especially a nuclear power, is saying we're signaling that this is
[41:54.480 --> 42:01.360]  a monetary asset for us again. Silver used to have that same standing, especially in countries like
[42:01.360 --> 42:07.840]  China in the early 20th century and for centuries before that. As you pointed out many times,
[42:07.840 --> 42:12.320]  the very word that is used for the Indian currency comes from silver.
[42:12.320 --> 42:14.480]  Yeah, that's the root word.
[42:14.480 --> 42:19.040]  That's right. Wasn't that the case with the dollar as well? There was another
[42:19.600 --> 42:21.760]  currency that was that way as well. It was a word for silver.
[42:21.760 --> 42:28.160]  Yeah, the dollar. It was based off a German silver coin with a similar name.
[42:28.160 --> 42:30.800]  T-H-A-L-E-R, right?
[42:30.800 --> 42:32.160]  Yeah, dollar, yeah.
[42:32.480 --> 42:40.720]  From dollar to dollar. Silver, because of the lower value, was really the everyman's currency
[42:40.720 --> 42:46.080]  that they were passing around. The gold was there as a store of wealth, of sovereign wealth,
[42:46.080 --> 42:48.880]  and that type of thing, which is what we're seeing with the central banks.
[42:48.880 --> 42:54.160]  But we've also seen a massive amount of individual purchasing. The shortage that
[42:54.160 --> 42:58.880]  we talked about before, what happened in India, every year they have as part of their religious
[42:59.600 --> 43:03.600]  observations. They will accumulate wealth or whatever. Typically, they would get gold,
[43:03.600 --> 43:06.960]  but one guy would say, hey, you need to get silver this year. So everybody was buying silver,
[43:06.960 --> 43:12.560]  created a big shortage in terms of distribution. There's something else happening with silver
[43:12.560 --> 43:19.120]  that I thought was kind of interesting. That was sent to me by, listen, the guy put out
[43:19.120 --> 43:24.160]  three videos yesterday. There were a lot of assertions that were made in it, and it wasn't
[43:24.160 --> 43:30.480]  possible for me to verify what he was saying in terms of commodity trades and amounts. He said,
[43:30.480 --> 43:35.200]  this is not anything that's concealed. This is not a theory. These are actual trades that have been
[43:35.200 --> 43:41.360]  made by JP Morgan. And he said, if you look at this, he said, he totaled it up on these various
[43:41.360 --> 43:48.480]  exchanges, that they were short 4.2 billion ounces of silver. And so what he was saying was,
[43:48.480 --> 43:53.680]  this is about to go vertical, and I can't verify if that's true. I sent it to you,
[43:53.680 --> 43:57.520]  and I know there was a lot of information there, and he was referring to a lot of things that
[43:58.320 --> 44:03.520]  is very hard for us to get access to. But what do you think about that? I mean,
[44:03.520 --> 44:06.400]  as you said, it's the kind of fourth dimensional warfare that's going on now.
[44:07.280 --> 44:13.600]  But that's something that we've talked about for years. The role that JP Morgan has played
[44:13.600 --> 44:20.000]  in silver has a lot of history. There's some shadowy things that have gone on there,
[44:20.880 --> 44:26.160]  some things that are suspect and criminal. I mean, they've been convicted of shorting the
[44:26.160 --> 44:32.880]  silver market of fraud, really, if you want to put it in that way. And they had paid a steep
[44:32.880 --> 44:40.640]  fine for it. And I want to say it was more than once. If you go into their history, they're the
[44:40.640 --> 44:47.920]  largest holder of physical silver, supposedly, in the world, private holder, other than governments.
[44:48.480 --> 44:52.640]  And that's been that way for a very long time. You got to remember, you go back to the 70s,
[44:52.640 --> 44:58.080]  and you had the Hunt family, and they cornered the silver market. And I coined the term deep stated.
[44:58.080 --> 45:05.600]  I thought that they were just basically taken out to the woodshed and punished for exposing
[45:05.600 --> 45:11.280]  weakness of the dollar in the late 1970s, early 80s. And nobody touched silver again.
[45:11.280 --> 45:17.200]  There was a time when Warren Buffett supposedly was into some physical silver, but he has that
[45:17.200 --> 45:22.000]  pet rock theory. He doesn't do anything. I think he held some for a while and then dumped it. So
[45:22.000 --> 45:28.640]  nobody through the 80s and 90s and 2000s has picked up the mantle of silver. But JP Morgan
[45:29.600 --> 45:33.440]  was one of those entities that started accumulating. And I imagine that they have
[45:33.440 --> 45:38.800]  a lot of analysts who are looking at this as where does the fiat dollar go? What is silver's
[45:38.800 --> 45:45.120]  uses for? All the factors that would drive it up. And again, they were convicted of
[45:46.480 --> 45:53.280]  suppressing the silver price while they were buying. And that doesn't register with a lot
[45:53.280 --> 45:57.520]  of people. A lot of people think of stock fraud as a pump and dump where they're just going to
[45:57.520 --> 46:01.600]  inflate the price, drive people in it, and then sell off. That's not what they did.
[46:01.600 --> 46:06.880]  This has been a long-term play. And I'd love to see if I didn't have enough time to verify
[46:06.880 --> 46:10.560]  some of the things you sent me yesterday. But it does make sense that they-
[46:10.560 --> 46:13.200]  Yeah, I didn't get that to you until really late. And there was a lot there.
[46:14.160 --> 46:18.080]  Guy goes, it's about a half hour video and he's got two or three of them that he put up.
[46:18.720 --> 46:22.640]  But yeah, it is a complicated situation. Of course, there's always been this tension
[46:22.640 --> 46:28.000]  between gold and silver and go back to William Jennings Bryant and his cross of gold speech
[46:28.000 --> 46:34.640]  and that type of thing. But yeah, we live in very strange times here. And of course,
[46:34.640 --> 46:40.960]  we're talking about how Trump portrays this stuff. He just told the Detroit Economic Club that
[46:40.960 --> 46:49.600]  inflation is defeated. Nobody believes that but him. He is such a bold-faced liar that he will
[46:49.600 --> 46:54.320]  say that kind of stuff. They probably go into stores, they can get that banner that George
[46:54.320 --> 46:57.840]  W. Bush just had of the mission accomplished. We wouldn't get that back over the way.
[46:59.760 --> 47:02.960]  Just right in inflation, mission accomplished.
[47:04.080 --> 47:10.080]  Yeah. And we had evidence of that. Everybody was scared to death of what he was going to do
[47:10.080 --> 47:14.000]  when he started coming after Jerome Powell. And that was one of the reasons I said,
[47:15.360 --> 47:19.600]  when we're talking about this thing in the fall and you would see JP Morgan, all these different
[47:20.640 --> 47:24.240]  large banks, Goldman Sachs, they come up with Bank of America. They've got their
[47:24.240 --> 47:29.200]  analysts to say, well, we think gold is going to be here at this point in the first quarter
[47:29.200 --> 47:33.360]  or the second quarter of the first half or this. We see that kind of stuff all the time from them.
[47:33.360 --> 47:37.600]  And they constantly kept revising it up. And it's like, well, we just passed that already.
[47:38.400 --> 47:45.520]  Look at this stuff in the fall. And I said, it's really going to step up because Jerome Powell
[47:45.520 --> 47:52.880]  is going to be ending his term. But Trump doesn't even want to wait for that. He is so eager
[47:53.600 --> 47:57.920]  to play games with interest rates and the quantitative easing. I mean, he is chomping
[47:57.920 --> 48:04.240]  at the bit. And so much so that he's going to take the risk. What risk? I mean, his supporters
[48:04.240 --> 48:09.600]  are going to support him no matter what he does. But so much so that he wants to come after with
[48:09.600 --> 48:13.920]  criminal charges, come after Jerome Powell and get rid of him like he did Lisa Cook.
[48:13.920 --> 48:18.480]  Isn't that interesting? I think that's a big tell as to what his economic policies are going to be.
[48:18.560 --> 48:24.320]  Right out the gate, he's going to do everything he can to push every button to have easy money.
[48:24.320 --> 48:29.200]  And that's going to make inflation roar. He's going to pour a lot of gasoline on the fire.
[48:30.560 --> 48:38.160]  He's an agent of chaos. And the Federal Reserve is a criminal entity, just not really maybe for the
[48:38.160 --> 48:45.120]  building of an extra wing. I think it's for the entire scope of what they've done to our currency,
[48:45.120 --> 48:50.720]  to our world. I mean, the very reality and the fabric of America has been ripped apart by a
[48:50.720 --> 48:57.200]  central bank. Don't mention that. It is very telling. And certainly he has a lot that he can
[48:57.200 --> 49:03.440]  say. How can you justify two and a half billion dollars, not even to build? I mean, this is not
[49:03.440 --> 49:08.960]  foundation costs or grading costs. This is just decorations, right? They're going to remodel it
[49:08.960 --> 49:14.320]  would decorate two and a half billion dollars of decorations for these existing buildings.
[49:14.320 --> 49:19.600]  That's outrageous. But I said, so he's going to audit that, but he's not going to audit the Fed
[49:19.600 --> 49:25.600]  itself. He's not going to audit Fort Knox's gold. Let's focus on this other thing over here that
[49:25.600 --> 49:32.640]  really doesn't matter, except as an indication of the corruption and the just the raw power
[49:32.640 --> 49:38.480]  that the Federal Reserve has. It's absolutely astounding. I mean, and people are following
[49:38.480 --> 49:44.400]  this like this is a good thing. And I think it's just chaos for the sake of chaos. The whole thing
[49:44.400 --> 49:52.560]  that's pushing all of this, you know, the drive and prices is the movement out of like safe haven,
[49:52.560 --> 49:56.240]  traditional markets where people played and you know, there's long-term paper markets.
[49:57.040 --> 50:01.920]  This is, this is fear. Yeah. And again, it's governments that are involved. What's going on
[50:01.920 --> 50:05.760]  Texas? It's Bluff here. Do you like playing casino style games like blackjack, Bach,

[50:57.520 --> 51:07.360]  If people might think I enjoy, um, where we are in the silver price, I think it should have taken
[51:07.360 --> 51:14.080]  a little bit longer. These massive hikes that we've seen that are really unprecedented since the
[51:14.080 --> 51:19.200]  1970s. And this won't, I don't believe this will end like the 1970s, David. I don't think that,
[51:19.200 --> 51:25.280]  you know, if silver went from $52 to two, uh, in 1980, we're not, that's not going to happen.
[51:25.840 --> 51:28.960]  Um, there's, it's not going to happen that nothing like that's going to, there might be
[51:28.960 --> 51:33.040]  some pullback and there probably will be both in gold and silver and there's profit taking
[51:33.040 --> 51:37.920]  that could go on. But I think we're, we're pushing new boundaries and price discovery
[51:38.800 --> 51:43.920]  every single day. And, uh, this is, um, a reflection of the weakness of the dollar,
[51:43.920 --> 51:50.480]  the weakness of the Fiat system, the massive, the systemic malignancy of worldwide debt,
[51:50.480 --> 51:54.240]  the global debt that is really, I mean, it's bankruptcy on paper for
[51:54.880 --> 51:57.760]  pretty much the entire world. If you look at debt to GDP,
[51:58.320 --> 52:01.920]  and we've been talking about that for a long time and it's only accelerating, but there's,
[52:01.920 --> 52:10.880]  there's an underlying, uh, I think story going on with silver because of the governments that
[52:10.880 --> 52:15.600]  I think are starting to realize that these strategic assets and especially silver gold,
[52:15.600 --> 52:20.800]  things like that, um, they're reaching for the physical bullion and all the paper markets,
[52:20.800 --> 52:26.240]  those days are gone. And thank God. I mean, I remember February of 21, David, I,
[52:27.200 --> 52:31.760]  they did the wall street bets and they did the whole, the Reddit people and they did this,
[52:31.760 --> 52:38.080]  you know, buy silver and, uh, it, it, people were sold out of physical silver all around the
[52:38.080 --> 52:42.480]  country and they were trying to get the price to move by buying out the physical silver and
[52:42.480 --> 52:46.720]  people went and bought physical silver out of shops. And one of my, my shop was that way.
[52:46.720 --> 52:52.320]  And we sold out and the next day the price went down and that's because they did,
[52:52.320 --> 52:56.320]  because they sold off these paper markets that they used to be able to control the price.
[52:56.320 --> 53:03.120]  They sold off 1.5 times the annual supply in one day and just sold, you know, hit sell, sell, sell,
[53:03.120 --> 53:06.320]  and it dumped that price down. So the spot actually went down,
[53:06.320 --> 53:09.680]  but if you went in to go buy silver the next day, you couldn't get any.
[53:10.560 --> 53:15.520]  And I thought, this is broken. This, this can't last. This is a complete exposure of what that,
[53:15.520 --> 53:22.000]  that market was. Well, we're not there anymore. And I don't, you can't go back. The, you go to
[53:22.000 --> 53:27.680]  the beginning of the year when we talked about the black swan event, really with unintended
[53:27.680 --> 53:34.880]  consequences was just the threat of tariffs and not giving clarification on whether gold or silver
[53:35.680 --> 53:41.840]  or commodities would be tariffed if they entered into the country. And that, that alone
[53:41.840 --> 53:48.320]  started clearing out vaults and contracts were called. It's a cascading event. It needed to
[53:48.320 --> 53:54.640]  happen, but that was the unintended consequences. Without that, we don't have $4,600 gold on our way
[53:54.640 --> 54:01.200]  to 5,000. We don't have that. If you remember last year, we hit an all time high over 30 plus
[54:01.200 --> 54:05.680]  times. I think almost every time I come on the air with you, there'd be a new all time high.
[54:05.680 --> 54:11.040]  That's right. So it was really an unprecedented, it's uncharted waters and nothing really
[54:11.760 --> 54:17.840]  in history lines up to what we're watching. Exactly. It's it, I don't even think it even
[54:17.840 --> 54:26.800]  rhymes. It's very different time. If you go back and you look at the 1980s, what was happening to
[54:26.800 --> 54:32.160]  that in terms of gold and silver, that was the shock that was sent through the system because
[54:32.160 --> 54:37.280]  of the energy, because of OPEC and the oil shortage and embargo and things like that. That
[54:37.280 --> 54:42.560]  set off a wave of inflation. And we saw that in the interest rates. And so just in this last week,
[54:43.520 --> 54:48.560]  kind of to underscore that, the fact that Trump is talking about the confiscatory
[54:49.760 --> 54:55.760]  interest rates on credit cards. Well, that's there because they got rid of the caps on usury.
[54:56.400 --> 55:01.760]  It wasn't a federal cap, as I point out this week, it was a state law. And this is a tradition that
[55:01.760 --> 55:09.360]  had gone back to the 1500s. And in English and American tradition, that you would not charge
[55:09.360 --> 55:14.240]  more than six or 8%, it'd be illegal to be considered to be usury, loan sharking, that type
[55:14.240 --> 55:20.080]  of thing. But because we had such rapid inflation, the first the Supreme Court and then the Congress
[55:20.080 --> 55:27.120]  and the Supreme Court in 1978, then the Congress in 1980, did things to essentially get rid of the
[55:27.120 --> 55:35.920]  state usury laws. And so now, Trump wants to do just a one year moratorium on these ridiculous
[55:35.920 --> 55:39.600]  rates that they're able to charge people. It's the most amazing thing, but it really does show
[55:39.600 --> 55:43.760]  the character of the banking system, Tony, when you see how they come back and they say, well,
[55:44.480 --> 55:48.400]  if you cut the interest rates that were allowed to charge poor people who can't pay off their
[55:48.400 --> 55:53.840]  balance, that would hurt the poor people. That would restrict their credit. It's like, how does
[55:53.840 --> 56:00.640]  that hurt the poor people if they're not allowed to go into debt to you for 20 to 30% a year?
[56:02.080 --> 56:05.920]  Oh, and of course, it would hurt us as well. But yeah, it would hurt you, but it would not
[56:05.920 --> 56:10.560]  hurt the poor people. That's almost like saying, sorry, you're not going to be able to drink your
[56:10.560 --> 56:16.240]  paycheck or pour it into the casino slot machine, we're going to prohibit that. But it truly is
[56:16.240 --> 56:22.960]  exploitive and has been there for a long time. And so what I thought was interesting was that

[57:30.640 --> 57:35.280]  About that and said, you're starting to sound like Elizabeth Warren. And then Trump called
[57:35.280 --> 57:44.080]  Elizabeth Warren. So on economic issues, Trump is Elizabeth Warren. On issues of war and peace,
[57:44.080 --> 57:50.320]  we've got Lindsey Graham. That's kind of where his advisors are, right? We're supposed to believe
[57:50.320 --> 57:54.560]  that he's the peace president, he's a Republican, and yet he's looking at Elizabeth Warren and
[57:54.560 --> 58:00.400]  Lindsey Graham. They are his influences. But when you talk about paper silver, paper gold,
[58:00.400 --> 58:06.640]  we're talking about the stuff on the Shanghai gold exchange, which is SLV for silver and GLD
[58:06.640 --> 58:10.560]  for gold. This has been the way that a lot of people who are typically in the stock market
[58:10.560 --> 58:16.000]  would just move things over into silver or gold. But I noticed what you talked about was something
[58:16.000 --> 58:24.640]  that was far more broken than what I saw. I just saw, I guess back in 2018 or 19, I saw that when
[58:24.640 --> 58:31.520]  gold was moving, the paper gold was going in a different direction or staying still. It wasn't
[58:31.520 --> 58:35.600]  tied to the spot market. And I thought, why is that? And I started looking into it and then I
[58:35.600 --> 58:41.600]  realized I wasn't really getting gold when I bought paper gold, when I bought GLD or whatever.
[58:41.600 --> 58:46.800]  And that's really the issue. And I think it's something that we need to be concerned about
[58:47.360 --> 58:54.560]  as you see Tether going in and saying they're going to tokenize gold into their stable coins.
[58:55.360 --> 59:00.000]  It's not clear how that's going to work out. I mean, who audits that to see if they've really
[59:00.000 --> 59:04.640]  got the gold there? That's the issue with the Shanghai gold exchange and silver exchange.
[59:04.640 --> 59:08.480]  Do they really have the gold and silver? Or are they saying that they've got it and then
[59:08.480 --> 59:14.000]  trading paper contracts for it? It may not be tokenized because it's not on the blockchain,
[59:14.000 --> 59:19.280]  but it is still securitized, just like the phony mortgages in 2008.
[59:19.280 --> 59:27.600]  Well, that's right. And the beautiful thing that happened in 1974, because of Gerald Ford
[59:27.600 --> 59:33.840]  taking over after Nixon resigned, we got the ability to own gold again. It was legal. FDR
[59:33.840 --> 59:41.680]  from 1933 to 1974 is FDR that made it illegal for you to own gold. I remember listening to
[59:41.680 --> 59:47.440]  Robert Kiyosaki who was coming back from Vietnam as a Marine and he'd smuggled in a Krugerrand that
[59:47.440 --> 59:53.360]  he bought just after we went off the gold standard. But you mentioned something earlier
[59:54.000 --> 59:59.920]  that I think, and this is why I brought that up, that we can own gold and they may be making a play
[01:00:00.720 --> 01:00:05.760]  on that eventually. We have to be vigilant on that. I mean, I think you mentioned Tether and
[01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:10.160]  some of these stable coins and how do they back this up? And people ask me about gold standards
[01:00:10.160 --> 01:00:14.560]  and all the rest, but we already really have one. And that's because we're outside when you and I
[01:00:14.560 --> 01:00:20.480]  have a gold or silver coin or an ounce of bullion or a bar and it's recognizable. We're outside of
[01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:26.320]  the system. We're our own bank. Same thing with Bitcoin. Millions of Americans are unbankable
[01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:30.800]  and you have these predatory institutions that you mentioned and they're all fruit of the poisonous
[01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:36.880]  tree. We got this financial system that we have post-1971, when all bets are off, when you have
[01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:43.040]  a fake currency, it tends to create these type of entities that prey on the lower economic strata.
[01:00:43.040 --> 01:00:48.560]  You just can't get out of that cycle. It hasn't been that long ago. I had to use some of those
[01:00:48.560 --> 01:00:54.880]  things. When I was between ventures and stuff, I had to get small loans, weekly loans, stuff like
[01:00:54.880 --> 01:01:02.880]  that. And it hasn't been that long ago. The reality I live in today is a lot different than it was 10
[01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:07.920]  years ago. So I had to use some of those things and they're awful and they're hard to get out of.
[01:01:08.080 --> 01:01:13.840]  Yeah. It is a trap. It's just the same thing that Trump says,
[01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:18.640]  one year moratorium on this. Well, you see that kind of stuff all the time. Move your
[01:01:18.640 --> 01:01:22.160]  credit card balance over to everything. You won't pay any interest for a year or whatever. Then it
[01:01:22.160 --> 01:01:28.800]  shoots up higher than where you are right now. And so that kind of stuff, what Trump is proposing
[01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:34.160]  is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And it's not something that's going
[01:01:34.160 --> 01:01:39.680]  to work out for the benefit of consumers. Just like his 50-year home mortgage is going to work
[01:01:39.680 --> 01:01:43.680]  out for the benefit of consumers. That would be a horrible thing to get involved in.
[01:01:45.680 --> 01:01:50.960]  Price controls. We know the price controls, don't we? This is the 70s all over again,
[01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:56.640]  but just worse. I mean, just on every scale, the corruption, the amount of bureaucracy,
[01:01:56.640 --> 01:02:06.640]  everything in between is amplified. A true prosperity would cure a lot of these ills
[01:02:06.640 --> 01:02:10.720]  and a real free market would cure a lot, but this is crony capitalism. This is what happens
[01:02:10.720 --> 01:02:15.200]  when all these things, these entities that are tied to the central bank and everybody waiting
[01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:19.520]  for unbated breath and what the Fed's going to do with interest rates, instead of just worrying
[01:02:19.520 --> 01:02:24.480]  about economic outcomes and building infrastructure, economic infrastructure, all the stuff that should
[01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:30.800]  be going on. And that's why the new $100 bill is a one ounce silver eagle. My friend Charlie
[01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:35.280]  Robinson sent me an amendment to that yesterday. I thought that's about right. That's good. I like
[01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:44.400]  that. The new $100 bill. Everything that Trump is doing is a gimmick. Affordability is the big issue.
[01:02:45.200 --> 01:02:51.600]  That is the elephant in the room as far as these elections are going. And 92% of people who have
[01:02:51.600 --> 01:02:54.880]  jobs, we're not talking about people who are unemployed, 90% of people who have jobs said that
[01:02:54.880 --> 01:03:00.560]  they're struggling according to a recent poll. So when you look at affordability and Trump comes in,
[01:03:00.560 --> 01:03:09.120]  he wants to play some financial games to help you to get a house, he says. But if inflation is eating
[01:03:09.120 --> 01:03:14.080]  into people and taxes and all these different predatory things that we've got in terms of
[01:03:14.080 --> 01:03:19.280]  mandated insurance and this and that, all of that is there and all the government regulations that
[01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:24.320]  are raising the price of things and killing industry and killing manufacturing. When you
[01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:30.240]  look at all those regulations, if those are there and the society is fundamentally sick
[01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:34.160]  and getting poorer, there isn't any kind of financial game that you're going to play that's
[01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:38.640]  going to help anybody. I mean, it's just something that kind of a sugar high that he's hoping people
[01:03:38.640 --> 01:03:43.920]  won't realize until after they voted for it. I saw this article, Tony. I thought this was
[01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:50.720]  interesting. The Egyptian army holds billions in secret cash as the country misses a debt deadline.
[01:03:50.720 --> 01:03:55.040]  And so they've got all this money in the Egyptian army and the Egyptian government says, wait a
[01:03:55.040 --> 01:03:59.040]  minute, we've got to make a debt payment to the IMF. And they said, well, we're not telling you
[01:03:59.040 --> 01:04:06.000]  where the money is. All the money that Trump is funneling over to the Pentagon and he loves
[01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:11.920]  to brag about his tax increase as if people fill in the blank and they think, well, he's going to
[01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:16.400]  use this tariff revenue to get rid of the income tax. No, that's not going to happen. He's going
[01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:20.560]  to use it to pay down the debt. No, that's not going to happen. He says, I'll give it back to you
[01:04:20.560 --> 01:04:27.040]  as a check. That's not going to happen either. He's talking about, let's increase the new record
[01:04:27.040 --> 01:04:30.560]  defense budget. We've just won over a trillion dollars for the first time. Let's make it one
[01:04:30.560 --> 01:04:36.000]  and a half trillion. Yeah. So we were flush with cash now. It's amazing. But when you watch him,
[01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:41.680]  you can start to see the lines of how this guy bankrupted six casinos, can't you?
[01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:48.560]  Well, it has the hallmark of everything that is short term. Everything is short. This isn't
[01:04:48.560 --> 01:04:54.400]  long-term planning, again, not building financial infrastructure, not incentivizing the free market.
[01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:58.800]  We're not doing any of that. This is crony capitalism. And you see the breakdown of
[01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:06.160]  institutions. You just mentioned the Egyptian army and the hoarding of cash. By the way,
[01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:13.440]  keeping it from the IMF, which was born out of Bretton Woods in 1944. This was the old economic
[01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:18.080]  world order that is coming to an end. There's the new institutions are being born, new factions are
[01:05:18.080 --> 01:05:24.640]  being born. That's a key indicator, especially since we went off the petrodollar. I mean,
[01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:30.720]  it wasn't an official thing. We just lost it, right? In 2024, that agreement pretty much
[01:05:30.720 --> 01:05:35.440]  lapsed. And people have been asking me, is Venezuela about repropping up the petrodollar?
[01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:40.080]  I'm like, no, I don't think that it is. We're going in a completely different direction.
[01:05:40.080 --> 01:05:44.400]  And maybe they don't even know where they're going. But it's the digital currency, certainly
[01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:50.240]  on the rise, the off-ramps from the stablecoins and all that. We'll be talking about that in the
[01:05:50.240 --> 01:05:55.520]  months and years to come. No, that's institutional breakdown is what you're watching with the
[01:05:55.520 --> 01:06:01.440]  Egyptian issue. And I think that's going to start happening more and more where the hoarding of
[01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:07.200]  cash, the hoarding of commodities, because the bracing for impact, what comes next? We don't
[01:06:07.200 --> 01:06:15.120]  have trust and the trust is diminishing. And trusting us as far as being the world's reserve
[01:06:15.120 --> 01:06:22.720]  currency in this stable country that we were perceived to be is completely off the table.
[01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:26.640]  Everything is coming unraveled because we're here at the end of this fourth turning. I just saw
[01:06:27.600 --> 01:06:32.080]  a clip. I can't remember the woman's name. We've seen her on this Ukraine thing several times.
[01:06:32.080 --> 01:06:36.080]  She's notable because she's one of the youngest people in terms of leadership. I mean, we have
[01:06:36.080 --> 01:06:41.840]  this gerontocracy now, you know, ruled by really old people. She's in like her 30s, I think. And
[01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:48.320]  she came out and said she's been the spokesperson for the EU in terms of Ukraine and things like
[01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:52.640]  that. She came out and she said, well, I think when we look at what's going on, we just need to
[01:06:52.640 --> 01:07:00.000]  have a drink. This is this is her remedy. It's so bad. I think the only way we can cope with this
[01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.800]  is just to get drunk and drop out of reality. And I think that's a harbinger of what's coming,
[01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:11.840]  don't you? That about sums it up. When they've reached, they've run out of, you know, run out
[01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:17.920]  of tools, whatever's in their tool bag, they've run out of. And, you know, I think you'll see that
[01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:23.360]  a lot more where just people just shrug because that's what we don't talk about the elephant in
[01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:27.600]  the room. We don't talk about the debt anymore. Nobody really talk. You get like one kind,
[01:07:27.600 --> 01:07:34.560]  you get Thomas Massey. We'll talk about it. This is not even talked about by the so-called
[01:07:34.560 --> 01:07:38.880]  conservative movement. I think that you covered that well this week. Conservatism is dead,
[01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:47.760]  modern conservatism. This isn't Russell Kirk. This isn't Pat Buchanan. There's no intellectual
[01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:54.720]  heft behind any of this. This is group think, cultish behavior and parroting headlines and
[01:07:54.720 --> 01:08:00.000]  things that are void of any sort of thought. And it's really sad to watch because that's the camp
[01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:06.240]  that I came out of, you know? I mean, I'm more of a traditional Edmund Burke or something type of
[01:08:06.240 --> 01:08:09.920]  Yeah, no, it's not any principles. They're just trying to conserve the status quo. The status
[01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:16.480]  quo is given to us by the liberals who seek to destroy us economically and in terms of liberty
[01:08:16.480 --> 01:08:21.920]  and the rest of this stuff. But you've talked so much about the massive debt that we have,
[01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:26.960]  that all these different countries have. I mean, it's just a sea of debt. And so it was kind of
[01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:34.560]  interesting. Van Eck, and this is an article off of Kitco, Van Eck analysts looked at this and said,
[01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:39.040]  well, you know, let's take a look. You know, what if we were to go back to gold as a standard? What
[01:08:39.040 --> 01:08:45.680]  would be the price of gold? It says if gold were to back M0, that is the base money, it would need
[01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:53.760]  to trade at $39,000 per ounce. If gold were to back M2, which is broad money. And in terms of that,
[01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:59.840]  we're talking about, you know, M2 is things like including savings, deposits, money market funds,
[01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:06.160]  and things like that. M0 is really just kind of cash that is issued by the government. So if it
[01:09:06.160 --> 01:09:13.760]  were to go to broad money M2, it would need to trade at $184,000 per ounce. The price of
[01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:19.680]  gold in order to cover the outstanding debt that these people have put together, the money
[01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:24.480]  liabilities in a scenario where the only thing you got left is gold. And of course, the central
[01:09:24.480 --> 01:09:28.480]  banks have been accumulating gold as if it was going to be the only thing that was left. It's
[01:09:28.480 --> 01:09:34.400]  going to be what they have in terms of making a case for their legitimacy or making a case for
[01:09:34.400 --> 01:09:38.400]  their new financial system. They're going to need to have gold. That's why they're all racing to get
[01:09:38.400 --> 01:09:44.720]  it. And this massive debt that we have, just a sovereign debt in all these different countries,
[01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:50.400]  not even including the consumer debt that is there. It's truly amazing.
[01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:57.200]  It really reminds me, and I know people have done a lot of these analysis on what would it look like
[01:09:57.200 --> 01:10:02.960]  if we go back to a gold standard? When I first went on the air and I was on conservative talk
[01:10:02.960 --> 01:10:10.000]  radio in Dallas, there was a host there that argued that we couldn't go back to a gold standard.
[01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.880]  There's not enough gold. And I thought, well, no, no, no. I'm like, you got it backwards.
[01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:20.640]  Of course there's enough gold. But they were saying, we have trillions of dollars. You couldn't
[01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:26.720]  make that into gold. And I thought, well, that is, I guess that's modern conservative think,
[01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:30.960]  you know, where we just, we have to infinite prints and other things. No, you'd have to be.

[01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:41.040]  which is the way that you're supposed to have it. And with sound bunny, you have a limited supply,
[01:11:41.040 --> 01:11:46.000]  which makes it valuable. You have to be fiscally responsible, which means you have to have some
[01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:51.360]  measure of sanity. You can't just do anything you want and build anything you want and bomb
[01:11:51.360 --> 01:11:56.640]  anything you want. You have to have. So with the root of everything that's falling apart for us
[01:11:57.440 --> 01:12:02.880]  is fake money. Because you can just paper over everything until you can't. And I think that's
[01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:08.400]  why we're reaching end game where the institutions are coming apart and trust is completely diminished.
[01:12:08.400 --> 01:12:13.520]  The amount of corruption that we see is unprecedented. I mean, all this stuff that
[01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:18.560]  is systemic in everything we do. But it's worldwide, folks. I mean, it's global. It's not
[01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:24.720]  just here in the US. All these central banks, it's a sad reality watch. And for them to,
[01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:29.440]  I mean, people will float this idea about gold standard. Well, we already have one.
[01:12:30.160 --> 01:12:36.800]  It's ourselves. And these governments, you don't want the government involved with your gold,
[01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:43.120]  in my opinion, because look at what happened in 1933. I like the free market. Let the free
[01:12:43.120 --> 01:12:48.240]  market decide. You can have your fiat currencies. I mean, I would love it if we had a consensus in
[01:12:48.240 --> 01:12:53.440]  this country about fiscal responsibility and the evils of central banking and all the rest of that.
[01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:57.360]  But we're not anywhere near there. And if they would just take that and then they make it into
[01:12:57.360 --> 01:13:01.840]  a gold standard, it's not good for us. Yeah, your gold might go up and you're told to sell it or
[01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:07.440]  whatever it is. I just don't, I don't subscribe to that. Yeah, that's right. To that theory.
[01:13:07.440 --> 01:13:12.320]  I got a couple of questions for you from listeners here. Hatchcar61 said,
[01:13:12.320 --> 01:13:17.040]  Excellent that Tony's back. Can you please ask him why Wolfpack packages are taking longer to be
[01:13:17.040 --> 01:13:27.520]  delivered? Well, my crew, and by the way, I have just great people and I look around sometimes
[01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:32.960]  like, how did all these people show up? I have wonderful people and we ship everything out of
[01:13:32.960 --> 01:13:41.200]  Missouri. It has been a really efficient last 30 days. I know my crew is doing a great job.
[01:13:41.280 --> 01:13:46.960]  I think the mail is something that if you're going USPS, some packages do or UPS.
[01:13:48.320 --> 01:13:51.520]  That's an interesting question. You can always mail into the crew. I want to check your
[01:13:52.640 --> 01:13:58.560]  tracking number. Most of the time we're in real time. Like if your card gets charged,
[01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:02.720]  like on a Monday, most of the time, like on a Wednesday, you've already got a tracking number.
[01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:07.040]  So I don't know, I'd have to look at that. I know things are changing in terms of shipping.
[01:14:07.040 --> 01:14:12.640]  We've used a service called Sendal and they just kicked us off. Karen is saying,
[01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:15.440]  what is going on? Did they go out of business? No, they didn't go out of business.
[01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:23.200]  She's asking them questions and they won't respond to her. We've been debanked in the past.
[01:14:23.200 --> 01:14:27.440]  We've now been de-shipped. I don't know what's going on with it, but we can still take stuff
[01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:32.880]  down to the post office and put it through, but there's some crazy things going on. Amazon has
[01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:36.480]  just said they're not going to use the postal system anymore. So that's going to be a big hit
[01:14:36.480 --> 01:14:43.040]  for the postal system, just like it was for UPS when they didn't have that business. So there's
[01:14:43.040 --> 01:14:46.080]  a lot of things that are happening right now on the shipping side of it as well.
[01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:53.200]  It really is. But I think it's all things, David. So many companies that I used to rely on for
[01:14:53.200 --> 01:15:00.160]  service and other things, you don't get that same competency. I ask other entrepreneurs and other
[01:15:00.160 --> 01:15:07.440]  people and they say, no, this is real. You're not going insane. It's just not the same. And
[01:15:08.320 --> 01:15:17.200]  even UPS, we have issues. It's funny because the girls who run my Branson shop who do all the
[01:15:17.200 --> 01:15:22.960]  packing, they're used to run a UPS store. And I asked her, I said, so when we put in a claim
[01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:27.600]  with UPS, have we ever gotten the package back? Because when we lose the package for Wolfpack,
[01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:33.200]  I just replace it. So I just eat it. I don't ever get it back. And so it's funny. I'm like,
[01:15:33.200 --> 01:15:38.240]  have we ever gotten one back on a claim? She said, no. I'm like, so we just put it in just for the
[01:15:38.240 --> 01:15:44.720]  record. We never get that back. And used to, there would be a lot more of an investigation
[01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:51.520]  process. And now I just think that's everywhere. So at least Wise Wolf, we've still got, you can
[01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:55.520]  get a whole people call all the time and I answer the phone. And why wouldn't I?
[01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:59.600]  I mean, it's kind of like what you're talking about. We've seen this everywhere. It's a
[01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:03.440]  Corey Doctorow, the science fiction writer. It's kind of a rude term, but he calls it
[01:16:03.440 --> 01:16:08.800]  insidification. That's really what's happening to everything. It's not just the software stuff and
[01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:14.640]  not just things online, but it's just everything. Things have gotten so complicated that nothing is
[01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:20.000]  working anymore. Like it seems like AP rumble seat says, I'd like to, I would trust Tony,
[01:16:20.080 --> 01:16:26.960]  but can you talk about flexibility to sell if you might need to, is that at all viable? I don't know
[01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:34.000]  much about metal investments. He says, I mean, we're, we're buying. I don't think this is a
[01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:38.320]  great time to sell. I mean, honestly, because you're not, you need to wait for things to
[01:16:38.320 --> 01:16:44.480]  stabilize. And because of the, the whip sawing that's gone back and forth, my buying rates,
[01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:50.160]  you know, I'm at 85% of spot on anything over an ounce of silver and people that,
[01:16:50.160 --> 01:16:56.720]  why would you be that way? It's because of the, there's no end buyers. And David,
[01:16:56.720 --> 01:17:02.560]  I won't name the institutions. I'm three weeks from getting paid for a very, very large orders
[01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:07.440]  that have been with wholesalers, three weeks. That means that I had to take it out. People sold me
[01:17:07.440 --> 01:17:12.080]  stuff. I sold it to the trading floor. Trading floor hasn't paid me. And that's because they're
[01:17:12.080 --> 01:17:18.160]  backed up and, you know, this bottleneck everywhere. So I've had to make tough decisions
[01:17:18.160 --> 01:17:22.720]  on, you know, what I'm actually percentages I'm buying for. Now, if you're a Wolfpack member of
[01:17:22.720 --> 01:17:26.960]  your David Knight listener, just call me. We can do something a little bit different, but the majority
[01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:32.800]  of times for like physical walk-in shops. And by the way, it hasn't slowed much down. I mean,
[01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:36.960]  I just, I just been able to, I have a little bit more flexibility. I have to go sell stuff to the
[01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:43.840]  refiners or whatever, but you know, we don't have in this market. And what's funny is that you see
[01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:49.760]  rising prices, but limited retail buyers. And the reason this is because institutions are buying
[01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:55.920]  folks. Yeah. Institutions. That's right. And that's not, it's not, I mean, we had that last year. I
[01:17:55.920 --> 01:18:00.320]  remember that, that video, we talked about it at that point in time. There was a, a silver show,
[01:18:00.320 --> 01:18:05.280]  you know, like a golden silver show. I have gun shows and things. And, and this guy goes around
[01:18:05.280 --> 01:18:11.200]  and he talks to all the different dealers and they said, yeah, you know, silver, everybody wants
[01:18:11.200 --> 01:18:15.120]  to sell silver, but you know, the institutional buyers are getting everything and the price is
[01:18:15.120 --> 01:18:20.480]  going up and they're just, you know, the, the people off the street are coming in and they're
[01:18:20.480 --> 01:18:25.040]  not buying silver, but it's all institutional in terms of buying. It's institutional. Yeah.
[01:18:25.040 --> 01:18:31.920]  Maybe they know something and maybe, well, the other thing is institutional, but more importantly,
[01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:37.120]  more than market forces. I think it's governmental. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and it's the chaos and
[01:18:37.120 --> 01:18:41.440]  volatility that we see everywhere. And, you know, it's not just the tariffs that have created that
[01:18:41.440 --> 01:18:47.680]  kind of an issue. It is something that's happening through every type of business. Wally Walrus says
[01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:53.360]  gold got Gaddafi killed. Yeah, it did. That's absolutely right. We got the emails from Hillary
[01:18:53.360 --> 01:18:58.480]  Clinton talking about that and, you know, how they can't have him set up another standard in
[01:18:58.480 --> 01:19:04.320]  competition to the kind of Fiat system that they had in Europe. The banks don't want that.
[01:19:04.320 --> 01:19:09.840]  So yeah, that was peak Fiat. You know, that was peak Fiat was with, with Gaddafi and what happened,
[01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:17.040]  he wanted to do a African back gold back currency there, you know, and the interesting is the hunt
[01:19:17.040 --> 01:19:22.240]  family used to own the oil rights in Libya. And then there was that, you know, coup d'etat and
[01:19:22.240 --> 01:19:27.360]  the revolution. You got a Colonel Gaddafi, you know, never, never graduated being a Colonel.
[01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:32.560]  The epicenter of a lot of things, weren't they? They were the epicenter of that too.
[01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:35.840]  Yeah, it was peak Fiat. If you go back to 2009, interesting metric,
[01:19:36.720 --> 01:19:43.840]  you know, after the great financial crisis, central bank buying of gold was almost at zero
[01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:48.240]  and they would just relied on the dollar. I mean, market holdings were dollars.
[01:19:49.200 --> 01:19:53.760]  The world transacted in dollars and that's the way it was until that. And that was a watershed
[01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:59.840]  moment. And central banks started buying gold and now everything is just a race, not only for gold,
[01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:06.080]  but I think, you know, minerals, you know, silver, copper, all these other things that are going on,
[01:20:06.080 --> 01:20:11.680]  things that make the, that actually society runs off of and away from the Fiat system,
[01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:16.000]  they know what's going on. And that's the central banks are there. They're sick. The institutions
[01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:20.800]  are signaling to you folks what the future is. Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. Well,
[01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:26.720]  gold in terms of the things that we have any control over is one of the few things that we
[01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:34.240]  can do, I think, to actually try to move against this tide of chaos, you know, is the one thing
[01:20:34.240 --> 01:20:41.200]  that has basically retained its value. And again, we look to God for our real provision, but
[01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:45.920]  in terms of things that we have control over, that we should do something about,
[01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:52.560]  that is one of the few things that we can do to kind of guard against and hedge against this kind
[01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:57.120]  of chaos and volatility that is deliberate as being put out there. It's not just stupidity,
[01:20:57.120 --> 01:21:02.080]  it is deliberate what is being done out there. And so I really do appreciate what you do, Tony,
[01:21:02.080 --> 01:21:07.120]  worked with you for many years. And, and what you do is you provide a way for people to
[01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:13.040]  get into that on a small, regular basis with Wolfpack. That is a really important thing.
[01:21:13.040 --> 01:21:18.480]  Of course, you can handle large transactions one way or the other, but the idea that people
[01:21:18.480 --> 01:21:22.880]  can save gradually and you make that service available, that is really a valuable service
[01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:26.880]  for people to be able to gradually save into that, whatever they can put aside
[01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:32.640]  for the rainy day, because folks, there's a storm on the way, big storm. They like to talk about that.
[01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:39.200]  We've still got some time to dollar cost averages. Somebody emailed me yesterday and said that
[01:21:39.200 --> 01:21:45.360]  they'll come back to Wolfpack when prices go down. I thought, I don't know. It reminded me
[01:21:45.360 --> 01:21:53.840]  of that meme of the skeleton sitting at the computer. I don't know when prices are going
[01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.480]  to come down. I'm sure, you know, this is, and I don't know how you do your job because I don't
[01:21:58.480 --> 01:22:02.960]  know how you, you know, how do you, when it's this volatile, you know, how do you understand
[01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:08.960]  where things are going? It's got to really be difficult. I got a good team. I have a good team
[01:22:09.040 --> 01:22:15.360]  and, you know, we did a lot of planning for this. I think we just, it accelerated and went past,
[01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.320]  so I wasn't fully prepared. That's why I had to take December and part of January off. It's just
[01:22:20.320 --> 01:22:26.320]  been. Well, that's what we talk about. We talk about hyperinflation and how, you know, prices
[01:22:26.320 --> 01:22:32.960]  are constantly changing in Germany or Zimbabwe or whatever. And, you know, it's just total chaos
[01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:36.800]  like that. And yet, you know, what you're living with, things are changing so quickly in gold and
[01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:41.840]  silver. It's like having to do business in a hyperinflation environment. It's what you're
[01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:46.960]  looking at. Yeah. I imagine, and like you amplify it over, you know, your shops and then you got,
[01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:51.280]  you know, the direct sales and you got Wolfpack and he's trying to constantly keep up with,
[01:22:51.280 --> 01:22:55.520]  you know, are you making, can you keep the lights on? You know, because you have so many
[01:22:55.520 --> 01:23:01.280]  price fluctuations and we've been pretty lucky because the deals that I needed walked in when
[01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:06.880]  they do, you know, like, oh, I need the supply. I get the supply, you know? So we're okay.
[01:23:08.400 --> 01:23:12.240]  And I'm glad that we're built the way we are. I'm glad I'm not over leveraged, David. I'm glad
[01:23:12.240 --> 01:23:18.960]  that instinct to go do things, hoard things or do things, you know, or become a different kind of
[01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:23.760]  type of company, you know, like a, you know, I just know my limitations and what we were built to do.
[01:23:23.760 --> 01:23:30.560]  And Wise Wolf was designed to be more closer to the earth to regular people.
[01:23:32.080 --> 01:23:36.800]  You know, we're never, we're not going to be this giant conglomerate. I don't want that for
[01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:42.320]  my company. I just, I think the size that we are is perfect. Yeah. To serve, we can serve nationally,
[01:23:42.320 --> 01:23:48.000]  we can serve locally and, you know, and keep up with prices and that's where we are right now.
[01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:52.560]  But yeah, it's been an interesting time. I look forward to our talks weekly. I want to make sure
[01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:56.240]  that we're doing this weekly again. It's, I think it's good for both of us. So we just kind of,
[01:23:56.320 --> 01:24:02.320]  yeah. It's been great talking to you. Yeah. It's been a while. And, and tomorrow we're going to
[01:24:02.320 --> 01:24:05.680]  have a Gerald Slinty. It's been a while since we've talked to Gerald Slinty as well. He's
[01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:09.680]  going to be on with us tomorrow. Good. I can't wait for that. We'll get his trends and predictions
[01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:16.720]  for 2026. Let's see which war he wants to focus on the most. He's got, it's like a smorgasbord
[01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:21.920]  there. You know, every day it's another war for Trump. It's crazy, but thank you so much Tony for
[01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:27.200]  coming on. And again, you can go to David Nighteye Gold and that will take you to Wise Wolf Gold,
[01:24:27.200 --> 01:24:30.960]  Tony Hardeman. That'll let him know that you're coming from us. And so thank you Tony for what
[01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:35.600]  you do. It's been a great, been a great year this year. And I know that it's going to be a great
[01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:41.600]  year for gold and silver this next year as well. Again, you know, when you look at, like you said,
[01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:46.800]  it's not going to be like 1980 because 1980, the price of gold and silver was really a response to
[01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:52.400]  the shock of inflation from OPEC. And once that tapered down and they got that under control,
[01:24:52.400 --> 01:24:56.560]  then gold and silver went back down. But when we look in the horizon, what we're seeing here
[01:24:56.560 --> 01:25:01.760]  with this is completely different. We have so many different trends and they're not external,
[01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:06.560]  they're internal. And you got all of these different things coming together all at once.
[01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:12.400]  It really is like a perfect storm. It's like three storms. I guess that was one thing. What was it?
[01:25:13.200 --> 01:25:18.320]  The QAnon people, the storm is coming. Well, they're right. Not in the way that they meant it
[01:25:18.320 --> 01:25:24.800]  though. But it is a storm that is coming. And it is a bipartisan storm that's been building up
[01:25:24.800 --> 01:25:29.440]  off the coast for a very long time and been building up in Washington for a very long time.
[01:25:29.440 --> 01:25:33.600]  So thank you again, Tony. Appreciate it. David Knight.Gold will take you to Tony. Thank you,
[01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:36.800]  Tony. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.
[01:26:03.600 --> 01:26:30.640]  You're listening to the David Knight show.

[01:27:25.120 --> 01:27:38.560]  Well, it's not a big issue in the scheme of things, but it does talk about the character
[01:27:39.280 --> 01:27:45.040]  of these masked, militarized police. ICE reportedly stole a 10th grader's phone,
[01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:52.160]  then apparently sold it for cash. ICE agents reportedly stole a teenage boy's phone and then
[01:27:52.160 --> 01:27:58.560]  seemingly pawned it for cash afterwards. This is a report from ProPublica. They said that
[01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:04.880]  this boy and his father were on their way to McDonald's. His father was an illegal alien.
[01:28:05.440 --> 01:28:11.120]  They were pulled over by the masked agents. After several agents violently tackled his father
[01:28:11.120 --> 01:28:17.680]  to the ground with one pressing a knee into his neck, another put the 16-year-old in a suffocating
[01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:22.400]  chokehold. When he told the agent he was a child and a minor, the agent didn't stop.
[01:28:22.400 --> 01:28:26.000]  I started screaming with everything I had because I couldn't even breathe, he said.
[01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:32.160]  I felt like I was going to pass out and die. He was taking photos of the encounter with his phone.
[01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:39.120]  That was then confiscated as he was taken into custody. Later when he used his find my iPhone
[01:28:39.120 --> 01:28:46.240]  feature to track down his device, it led him to a vending machine for used electronics that was
[01:28:46.240 --> 01:28:51.520]  several miles away, but it was near an ICE detention center, according to reporting.
[01:28:52.320 --> 01:28:59.760]  Someone, and we can only guess who, had apparently sold his phone after ICE had confiscated it.
[01:29:00.400 --> 01:29:05.840]  The idea of ICE stealing and then selling somebody's phone is jarring. As one person said,
[01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:12.640]  well, this is not the key part of the story, obviously, but they sold his phone. This is not
[01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:20.480]  to be a surprise when we look at the corruption of secret police, militarized police.
[01:29:20.480 --> 01:29:26.960]  Police, as I pointed out, a giant army that would be the 14th largest military budget in the world
[01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:32.560]  if they were a separate country, but they're not, unfortunately. We have armies of domestic police,
[01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:39.760]  boots on the ground here in America, boots on our necks here in America. Of course,
[01:29:39.760 --> 01:29:45.200]  a big part of what they're interested in is surveillance. They're pouring in tens of millions
[01:29:45.200 --> 01:29:50.800]  of dollars into one surveillance program after the other, whether it's the roads or the streets,
[01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:56.800]  license plate recognition, flock cameras looking at your car and profiling your car,
[01:29:56.800 --> 01:30:00.560]  or biometric information on your face. They're looking at what you're doing on social media.
[01:30:00.560 --> 01:30:05.520]  They're looking at your phones, all of this, but you're not allowed to photograph them.
[01:30:06.480 --> 01:30:11.040]  You're not allowed to take their picture, and they're wearing masks, and they will get in your
[01:30:11.040 --> 01:30:16.880]  face with their masked face, knock your phone to the ground, knock you to the ground, and that's
[01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:22.000]  just the beginning of what they'll do. Also, I want to point out, this sort of behavior is incredibly
[01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:28.400]  common. It happens so frequently with the TSA. It's not as visible because generally the TSA isn't
[01:30:28.400 --> 01:30:33.120]  tackling you and throwing you to the ground. They just have easy access to your stuff, which they
[01:30:33.120 --> 01:30:39.280]  steal and then sell very regularly. They don't like being photographed either, right? Because
[01:30:39.280 --> 01:30:43.920]  you have no recourse. It's your word against theirs. Oh, oops, I wonder how that happened.
[01:30:43.920 --> 01:30:47.760]  That's right, yeah. You better believe I'm going to photograph any encounter I have with the
[01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:55.280]  government and keep a record of it. Anyway, so again, the fact that they would find this near
[01:30:55.280 --> 01:31:01.120]  an ICE detention center, and so after being detained and released by ICE, his family took
[01:31:01.120 --> 01:31:07.440]  him to the Texas Children's Hospital, where staff moved him to a trauma unit after identifying signs
[01:31:07.440 --> 01:31:13.360]  of a chokehold. The doctors ordered dozens of CT scans, x-rays, including for his head, neck,
[01:31:13.360 --> 01:31:20.480]  and spine. His father's family says that the agents threatened to charge him with assaulting
[01:31:20.480 --> 01:31:28.480]  an officer unless his dad agreed to be deported. That's how these guys work. So the father is now
[01:31:28.480 --> 01:31:34.000]  in Mexico. Well, again, you can take the approach, well, they should never have come here in the first
[01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:40.640]  place. Well, I agree, but look, do we really want to have a government like this? Do we really want
[01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:46.400]  to have these guys who pretend to be police, who pretend to enforce laws when they say that there's
[01:31:46.400 --> 01:31:52.240]  no law for them, who are given carte blanche to do whatever they wish? They steal property from people?
[01:31:53.120 --> 01:31:59.280]  They bully and hurt 16-year-olds? They blackmail family members? Is that really what we want from
[01:31:59.280 --> 01:32:06.000]  our government? That is a foolish bargain. Like, I understand, and you know if you've listened to me
[01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:12.560]  over the years, that I don't agree with illegal immigration, and that is a big point with me.
[01:32:13.120 --> 01:32:20.160]  This is a bigger point with me as it is with MAGA, but the means matter. How you do this makes all
[01:32:20.160 --> 01:32:24.800]  the difference in the world. And so you've got some, we're talking about impeaching
[01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:30.400]  Christine Ohm. Unfortunately, you know, here's the headline, nuclear option is launched against
[01:32:30.400 --> 01:32:42.400]  Christine Ohm by 70 Democrats. 70? Only 70. Only Democrats. That's what's disgusting about all this.
[01:32:42.400 --> 01:32:45.840]  When you look at how many Democrats are, I mean, there's 213 Democrats in the House.
[01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:52.640]  70 of them. That's only 32 percent. That's not even, that's just about, just under a third,
[01:32:52.640 --> 01:32:57.920]  okay, of the Democrats who want to impeach Christine Ohm. Impeachment ought to be the
[01:32:57.920 --> 01:33:02.720]  least that happens to this woman. I mean, I just showed you the other day that she put this,
[01:33:02.720 --> 01:33:10.400]  she did a speech. One of ours, all of yours. I mean, this is literal, the literal slogan
[01:33:11.200 --> 01:33:17.120]  of the Nazis when they destroyed villages. You kill one of ours like Heidrich, we will kill
[01:33:17.120 --> 01:33:20.960]  everybody in your village and we want you to know that. That's what she's doing.
[01:33:22.000 --> 01:33:27.600]  I know it sounds tiresome to Homeland Security to be called Nazis all the time. Well, then stop
[01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:35.360]  acting like Nazis. And when you look at Iran, for example, as I said the other day, the only
[01:33:35.360 --> 01:33:41.360]  difference between these Iranian, quote unquote, law enforcement people that are murdering people
[01:33:41.360 --> 01:33:48.560]  in the streets and our ICE agents is the flag that they fly. You take down that Iranian flag,
[01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:54.240]  you put up an American flag and all the MAGA people going, hoorah, hoorah, you know, USA, USA,
[01:33:54.240 --> 01:34:00.000]  would love this stuff. I don't. Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. Doesn't matter what flag you
[01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:07.120]  fly. These people always act the same way. This cartoon here, this is MAGA, for example. Well,
[01:34:07.120 --> 01:34:17.120]  at least we're safe from immigrants, right? And the man and woman have a QR code on their sweater
[01:34:17.120 --> 01:34:22.800]  and they've got a barcode on their forehead. There's an army of police around them. There's
[01:34:22.800 --> 01:34:31.040]  drones above them. There's cameras beside them. This is what the people who are so overwhelmingly
[01:34:31.040 --> 01:34:36.640]  concerned about the open borders and understand, folks, the open borders were created by both
[01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:42.320]  Republicans and Democrats. It's worse under the Democrats, but the Republicans didn't do anything
[01:34:42.320 --> 01:34:49.440]  about it either. And so they created this problem because their solution is to have the police state,
[01:34:50.240 --> 01:34:56.640]  just like they created the pandemic, which didn't exist because their solution was a bioweapon
[01:34:56.640 --> 01:35:03.200]  vaccine. You don't want their solution and you don't be fooled by what these people are doing.
[01:35:04.160 --> 01:35:07.920]  I'm going to take a real quick break, folks, and we're going to come back. I want to finish
[01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:11.920]  what I was saying about common sense because we don't have any common sense
[01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:17.200]  and we need to make sense coming again, don't we? We'll be right back.
[01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:39.200]  And now the David Nuts show.
[01:36:39.200 --> 01:36:46.080]  Well, welcome back. And I want to go back to what John Whitehead is working on because,
[01:36:46.080 --> 01:36:51.600]  you know, he's talking about Thomas Paine. I got to say, I would nominate John Whitehead
[01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:57.200]  as the Thomas Paine of our time if I had to pick somebody. But he goes back, he quotes Madison
[01:36:57.200 --> 01:37:00.640]  and Jefferson, Madison saying, if men were angels, we wouldn't need government, right?
[01:37:01.680 --> 01:37:06.480]  And Jefferson said, yeah, but in questions of power, let no more be heard in the confidence
[01:37:06.480 --> 01:37:11.440]  of man, but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution.
[01:37:12.080 --> 01:37:15.760]  But these are chains that have been easily snapped. As he points out, Trump speaks in the
[01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:21.360]  language of kings, of strongmen, of would-be emperors advocating for personal rule over
[01:37:21.360 --> 01:37:27.600]  constitutional government. America's founders rejected that logic. They revolted against tyranny.
[01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:33.040]  They built for themselves a system of constitutional restraints, checks, balances,
[01:37:33.040 --> 01:37:40.400]  divided authority through separation of power. And this is the key thing, an informed, vigilant
[01:37:40.400 --> 01:37:47.040]  populace. You know, Jefferson said, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. That's why
[01:37:47.040 --> 01:37:54.240]  ICE hates you filming them. Think about that. All the hard work of the founders is being undone,
[01:37:54.240 --> 01:38:00.240]  not by accident, and it's not being done overnight. This is not about left versus right.
[01:38:00.240 --> 01:38:05.760]  It's not even about whether Trump is a savior or villain. It's about the danger of concentrating
[01:38:05.760 --> 01:38:12.320]  unchecked power in any one individual, regardless of political party, regardless of their
[01:38:12.320 --> 01:38:19.280]  personality or their character or their lack of character. The end does not justify the means,
[01:38:19.280 --> 01:38:24.400]  right? That's what we have to understand over and over again. We have to keep coming back to that.
[01:38:24.400 --> 01:38:31.760]  Power can be used for the right reasons today, but it will be used for the wrong reasons tomorrow.
[01:38:32.400 --> 01:38:36.400]  History shows that once the machinery of oppression is built, once we have these
[01:38:36.400 --> 01:38:43.120]  surveillance systems, the militarized enforcement, the emergency authorities, it does not care who
[01:38:43.120 --> 01:38:49.600]  operates the controls. The only question is, who will be targeted next? This is why it's so amazing
[01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:53.200]  to me. You see the left and the right constantly going back to January 6th.
[01:38:53.760 --> 01:38:59.920]  What lesson did either of them learn other than rabid partisanship? Nothing. When you look at John
[01:38:59.920 --> 01:39:05.840]  Stewart or Jesse Ventura or whatever the left is, they look at it and they see the people that
[01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:09.760]  were fighting, the cops that were there. They don't see what happened before. They don't care
[01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:16.800]  what happened afterwards to people who were peaceful protesters. Then you look at the right
[01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:24.160]  and they don't, even though they saw the weaponization of government, they want more
[01:39:24.160 --> 01:39:29.840]  power given to the president just after they were, they saw the corruption of the Biden
[01:39:29.840 --> 01:39:34.400]  administration. Oh, let's give more power to Washington. No, you need to devolve power away
[01:39:34.400 --> 01:39:38.160]  from Washington because there will be another Biden. You just want to make sure he doesn't
[01:39:38.160 --> 01:39:43.600]  have the power. I can't understand why the left and the right took these lessons.
[01:39:44.160 --> 01:39:47.840]  It's Bretzky. I don't know how they let me on this podcast, but while I'm here, I might as
[01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:54.240]  well tell you the only place to play blackjack roulette and live craps in Texas is spinquest.com,
[01:39:54.240 --> 01:40:02.400]  baby. That's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com. New users get a $30 coin package for only $10. I mean,
[01:40:02.400 --> 01:40:07.360]  that's a hell of a deal for all you 10 gallon hatwares down there in Texas.
[01:40:07.680 --> 01:40:11.200]  Yeah. Spinquest is a free to play social casino.
[01:40:11.200 --> 01:40:14.160]  Voidware prohibited. Visit spinquest.com for more details.
[01:40:37.360 --> 01:40:52.480]  And this is the understanding of the grassroots people that I'm talking about. Trump's 2.0 has
[01:40:52.480 --> 01:40:57.120]  done more to dismantle the nation's constitutional guard rails than any other time in history.
[01:40:58.160 --> 01:41:02.880]  This is now unfolding through emergency declarations, warrantless raids, speech-based
[01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:07.840]  detentions, unaccountable surveillance, military actions, launched without consent,
[01:41:07.840 --> 01:41:13.360]  debate, or constitutional authority. Just one individual that is doing all of this stuff.
[01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:24.480]  So we look at the sequence that despotism always follows. First of all, power is centralized. Well,
[01:41:24.480 --> 01:41:30.560]  we can check that box, can't we? And then the next one is accountability is dismantled.
[01:41:30.960 --> 01:41:36.000]  We certainly see that as well, don't we? And then finally, once law no longer restrains power,
[01:41:36.480 --> 01:41:43.680]  force takes its place. If we had a map, we would have an arrow, you are here. This is the stage
[01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:49.840]  that we're at. Just like the other day, we were talking about the way that civilizations collapse
[01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:57.200]  and we checked off of the five different steps. We're at step number four right now. Step number
[01:41:58.160 --> 01:42:04.000]  five is about to begin. If this is how Trump intends to celebrate the country's 250th birthday,
[01:42:04.880 --> 01:42:13.280]  it's maybe by reenacting what the king did. The abuses that drove Americans to a revolt in 1776.
[01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:20.560]  Someone might need to clue him into the fact that it ended with Americans rejecting tyranny
[01:42:21.280 --> 01:42:26.240]  and absolute rule. You know, that's what I hear when I hear JD Vance talking about how
[01:42:27.040 --> 01:42:33.280]  these ICE agents have absolute immunity. No, they don't. And if they do, shame on us for allowing
[01:42:33.280 --> 01:42:39.760]  that to happen. Not under a system of law do they have absolute immunity. Under a system of tyranny,
[01:42:39.760 --> 01:42:47.440]  they do. When I heard that, folks, I don't care what else JD Vance says or does. Not that I was
[01:42:47.440 --> 01:42:53.440]  supporting him before. I got a lot of questions about how this chameleon has moved himself around
[01:42:53.440 --> 01:43:00.320]  the political spectrum in order to ingratiate himself to the technocrats. I have issues with
[01:43:00.320 --> 01:43:06.480]  his making money off these self-amplifying mRNA jabs and many other things that JD Vance does.
[01:43:06.480 --> 01:43:14.080]  He is the handpicked salesman for the technocracy. And you can see that when he says, yeah,
[01:43:14.080 --> 01:43:19.840]  our people get absolute immunity. Well, if that's the way this is going to work, our system is done
[01:43:20.400 --> 01:43:24.320]  right now at this point. You're talking about absolute immunity,
[01:43:24.320 --> 01:43:29.680]  absolute tyranny is what we're talking about here. Consumed divisions of global conquest and
[01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:37.440]  military expansion, Trump has treated sovereignty as negotiable, international law as inconvenient.
[01:43:38.080 --> 01:43:44.560]  And we just had this happen yesterday with the people from Greenland and Denmark coming in.
[01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:50.400]  And when I looked on social media, I saw these people, oh yeah, look, they're trying to pretend
[01:43:50.400 --> 01:43:55.120]  that they're brave, but they're going to cave. You know, this is Trump, he's strong. These are
[01:43:55.120 --> 01:44:00.400]  the influencers, some of the most despicable people I've ever seen in my life. I mean,
[01:44:00.400 --> 01:44:05.520]  I would never have believed that there would be people like this that I see on social media.
[01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:10.480]  And they call themselves conservatives. It's crazy. The Trump administration is justifying
[01:44:10.480 --> 01:44:15.840]  the cold blooded assassination of an American citizen by a masked gunman as an act of self-defense
[01:44:15.840 --> 01:44:20.560]  and declaring, we have absolute immunity and we're not going to be, nobody's even going to
[01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:25.840]  investigate us. We're going to shut down the investigation from the get-go. They told absurd,
[01:44:25.840 --> 01:44:31.520]  made up lies that bore no resemblance to the facts of the thing because of their utter contempt
[01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:39.120]  and their certainty that X and social media and their influencers would cover for them.
[01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:44.160]  ICE agents have been battering down doors, ramming into private homes, carrying out
[01:44:44.160 --> 01:44:48.960]  warrantless militarized raids that treat constitutional protections as an inconvenience
[01:44:48.960 --> 01:44:54.720]  and human beings as expendable obstacles. I would say as their personal livestock,
[01:44:55.440 --> 01:45:00.160]  is the way they treat us with this. When a president surrounds himself with military parades,
[01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:06.000]  inflates defense budgets to obscene levels, deploys federal forces against the civilian
[01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:11.360]  population and insists that his personal morality is the only safeguard against abuse,
[01:45:12.240 --> 01:45:19.920]  the Republic is no longer drifting toward tyranny. It is sliding downhill fast. And when ego becomes
[01:45:19.920 --> 01:45:25.600]  policy, the results are predictable. Perpetual war, endless surveillance, normalized violence,
[01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:33.280]  a criminalization of dissent, a public conditioned to accept abuses in the name of security and
[01:45:33.280 --> 01:45:39.040]  patriotism. Well, at least we don't have any more immigrants, right? Because who would want to come
[01:45:39.040 --> 01:45:47.360]  here? The Trump influencers and explainers are, in my opinion, enemies of the Constitution.
[01:45:48.240 --> 01:45:57.120]  They're enemies of liberty as well. And their appeasement for Trump really is just beyond
[01:45:57.120 --> 01:46:02.320]  disgusting. It's not blind loyalty from the influencers. They actually see what's going on.

[01:47:03.600 --> 01:47:09.040]  They are putting out the eyes of the people who listen to them and plugging their ears to the
[01:47:09.040 --> 01:47:12.400]  to the sense that they can't, they're told don't believe what you see. Don't,
[01:47:12.400 --> 01:47:19.600]  don't believe what you hear. It's the worst kind of group think and double think. Thomas Payne
[01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:27.040]  warned that a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being
[01:47:27.040 --> 01:47:34.880]  right. And this is the essence, I think, of this what about-ism. Oh, what about what Biden did or
[01:47:34.880 --> 01:47:41.280]  what Obama did or whatever. Whenever Trump is doing something that is criminal, that they did
[01:47:41.280 --> 01:47:46.960]  and got away with, we need to say this is enough. We're going to stop passing this back left and
[01:47:46.960 --> 01:47:51.840]  right and saying, well, our guy can do it because your guy did it. Americans are being trained to
[01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:57.360]  accept what would have once been unthinkable. Law enforcement that kills without consequence.
[01:47:57.920 --> 01:48:03.760]  Presidents who operate above the law. Wars launched without consent. Power exercise without
[01:48:03.760 --> 01:48:10.880]  accountability or authority. That normalization is the true danger. Which brings us to the question
[01:48:10.880 --> 01:48:18.080]  of common sense. Forced Americans to confront in 1776. And we have to confront it again now.
[01:48:19.040 --> 01:48:25.600]  Are we going to be a nation that is governed by laws or by the will of a man? Because that
[01:48:25.600 --> 01:48:34.560]  was the essence of common sense. Do we want to have a king that is going to just dictate to us?
[01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:40.320]  Are we going to have consent of the governed? Are we going to have laws? Are we going to treat
[01:48:40.320 --> 01:48:47.440]  people as human beings rather than livestock? And as he points out, this was the moral foundations
[01:48:47.440 --> 01:48:51.360]  that we have lost are really the key. You know, we used to have the black regiment
[01:48:52.160 --> 01:48:57.520]  when this country was formed. And you would have pastors who would put this in context for the
[01:48:57.520 --> 01:49:04.960]  people who they talked to. They said, now we've got the Franklin Grahams of this world who've
[01:49:04.960 --> 01:49:10.960]  exchanged moral authority so they can have a seat at the table with Trump. As a matter of fact,
[01:49:10.960 --> 01:49:18.480]  we talk about Trump being a pedophile protector. One of his spiritual advisors, quote unquote,
[01:49:19.360 --> 01:49:26.560]  has just been convicted of pedophilia. And yet he got a slap on the wrist, just like Jeffrey
[01:49:26.560 --> 01:49:34.000]  Epstein. Isn't that interesting? So they have us believe that the lawful response with all this
[01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:40.480]  stuff is just to comply, just to obey, because they've got power. And I have to say these people
[01:49:40.480 --> 01:49:47.920]  have exchanged Christ for Trump. Scripture, he says, says John Whitehead does not command
[01:49:47.920 --> 01:49:52.240]  blind obedience to power. I agree with that. That's what's wrong with that interpretation
[01:49:52.240 --> 01:49:59.600]  of Romans 13. Chuck Baldwin, I interviewed him not too long ago, but prior to that,
[01:50:00.160 --> 01:50:04.720]  the last time I had interviewed him was several years ago. And it was a few years before we had
[01:50:05.280 --> 01:50:10.400]  2020 and the pandemic lockdown and all the blind obedience to authority that's being sold by the
[01:50:10.400 --> 01:50:14.960]  people there. And we were talking about how that was going to work. You had all these people say,
[01:50:14.960 --> 01:50:20.480]  well, you do whatever the government says. It doesn't matter. And Todd Friel said,
[01:50:22.240 --> 01:50:25.200]  if the government tells you to put a pinwheel on your head, you put a pinwheel on your head.
[01:50:26.080 --> 01:50:34.240]  He was saying that on the cusp of Biden mandating the vaccine for people in order to have a job or
[01:50:34.240 --> 01:50:40.080]  a life or anything else, to mandate the bioweapon that Trump had created. He said that. I thought
[01:50:40.080 --> 01:50:44.560]  it was reprehensible then, and I still think it is. It's just amazing that he would say that.
[01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:50.080]  Tell people, if the government tells you to commit suicide, you commit suicide.
[01:50:51.680 --> 01:50:56.320]  Drink the Kool-Aid, inject the Kool-Aid. That's what Todd Friel was saying. I called him Pinwheel
[01:50:56.320 --> 01:51:05.440]  Friel. And again, blind obedience to power is not what we're told to do. Should you obey God or man?
[01:51:06.400 --> 01:51:11.600]  And just because these people are in power, they may be there as a means of testing you,
[01:51:12.400 --> 01:51:17.840]  but you don't obey them. Just take a look at, and that's what they were saying. Well, you know,
[01:51:17.840 --> 01:51:22.480]  we had, obviously we had martyrs who, when they were told you have to worship Caesar as God,
[01:51:23.200 --> 01:51:28.800]  they said, I'm not going to do it, even under penalty of death. That's why I call them martyrs,
[01:51:28.800 --> 01:51:34.320]  because they were witnesses to what they had seen. And so they would come back and they said, well,
[01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:42.480]  of course, if they tell you to deny Christ or to deny your convictions, you don't follow that.
[01:51:43.520 --> 01:51:47.200]  But when I interviewed Chuck Baldwin, when we were talking about it, I said, you just wait.
[01:51:47.200 --> 01:51:51.520]  These same people who are telling you that now, when push comes to shove,
[01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:57.120]  they will tell you to obey the government instead of your convictions. And they did in 2020. They
[01:51:57.120 --> 01:52:02.880]  told people, shut the churches down. Okay, shut the churches down. Inject yourself with a bioweapon.
[01:52:02.880 --> 01:52:07.680]  Okay, yeah, do it. And these people like Franklin Graham were telling you to do that at the same
[01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:17.760]  time. So he quotes here, John Whitehead quotes Martin Luther King Jr. said, and regardless of
[01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:23.680]  what you think of the man, take a look at what he has to say here. One has not only a legal,
[01:52:23.680 --> 01:52:31.680]  but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to
[01:52:31.680 --> 01:52:42.720]  disobey unjust laws. You have to have the discernment and the wisdom to distinguish
[01:52:42.720 --> 01:52:47.040]  between what is just and what is unjust, whether you're talking about obedience to government,
[01:52:47.040 --> 01:52:54.240]  or you're talking about war. Are we fighting wars to save lives? Are we fighting wars to end them?
[01:52:54.800 --> 01:53:00.720]  Are we fighting so that we can support the greed, avarice, and ambition of corrupt men in power?
[01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:08.240]  That's the real issue when it comes to wars. And the concerning thing is that when we look
[01:53:08.240 --> 01:53:13.680]  at what the churches have become, this is actually a comedy retained by a comedian.
[01:53:14.560 --> 01:53:19.600]  What's his name? Dustry, is that his? Drusky. Is that his name?
[01:53:19.600 --> 01:53:20.320]  Drusky, yeah.
[01:53:20.320 --> 01:53:27.760]  Drusky, yeah. But when I first saw this, I thought it was real. Take a look at what he's doing in
[01:53:27.760 --> 01:53:44.560]  terms of this is what megachurches look like. For those who are listening, he's suspended on wires.
[01:53:58.400 --> 01:54:02.320]  You're gonna get pregnant with the word of God. You're gonna get pregnant with the word of God.
[01:54:02.320 --> 01:54:04.160]  You're gonna get pregnant with the word of God.
[01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:09.600]  TV evangelists, megachurches.
[01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:11.840]  I had somebody in the congregation.
[01:54:11.840 --> 01:54:13.760]  He's up in the air again suspended on ropes.
[01:54:15.440 --> 01:54:21.360]  Because I'm a Christian and I walk in the blood of Jesus.
[01:54:21.360 --> 01:54:27.200]  Yeah, again, this is such a parody. It's blasphemy, right? And that's really what
[01:54:27.200 --> 01:54:32.320]  these megachurches have become. I see this guy suspended up on the wires and he's like,
[01:54:32.320 --> 01:54:36.480]  yeah, and I've seen the Christmas programs, the big churches in Dallas and everything they do.
[01:54:36.480 --> 01:54:42.000]  They got flying angels and camels in the aisles and all the rest. It's become entertainment.
[01:54:42.560 --> 01:54:49.680]  It's like what we began talking about. Common Sense was bought by 120,000 people in just three
[01:54:49.680 --> 01:54:53.440]  months in the colonies and it was something that was serious. Today, what do we look at?
[01:54:53.440 --> 01:54:58.080]  We're looking at the big sellers or Harry Potter, Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey.
[01:54:58.960 --> 01:55:03.280]  And that really is what the church has become. It's reflective of our society, all of that.
[01:55:03.920 --> 01:55:07.920]  So he says the same things that are running through the themes that are running through
[01:55:07.920 --> 01:55:13.600]  pains, common sense and later in his American crisis are just as relevant now as they were 250
[01:55:13.600 --> 01:55:19.600]  years ago. That is that no ruler is above the law. No government is entitled to unchecked power.
[01:55:19.600 --> 01:55:23.360]  No people remain free who surrender their conscience to the ambitions of the powerful.
[01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:29.920]  And how do we discern all of this stuff? Well, that's where the churches have fallen down. They
[01:55:29.920 --> 01:55:36.160]  have become centers of entertainment as well. So with all this happening, we had the FBI raiding
[01:55:36.160 --> 01:55:44.880]  a reporter's home, citing a leak of classified documents. So this is the FBI, the Cash Patel FBI
[01:55:44.880 --> 01:55:52.640]  and the War Pete Pentagon. And of course, remember War Pete kicked out all of the news
[01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:57.120]  organizations. He said, I don't want you here. I don't want you getting any information that
[01:55:57.120 --> 01:56:02.960]  we don't want reported. You have to authorize it with me first. And we're going to come after
[01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:06.880]  people if we got any information like that. It's not that they're telling everybody,
[01:56:06.880 --> 01:56:11.920]  well, here's how you can defeat this particular weapon system. We just created a Death Star and
[01:56:11.920 --> 01:56:16.160]  this is the vulnerability. No, it isn't that at all. It's not that at all. It's just anything
[01:56:16.160 --> 01:56:21.760]  that's critical of them. And so it's not a surprise at all to see this happening. This happened to a
[01:56:22.320 --> 01:56:27.520]  Washington Post reporter. It is kind of an interesting parallel to what we saw the Pentagon
[01:56:27.520 --> 01:56:33.040]  papers, isn't it? You know, we had Daniel Ellsberg, who had secrets that he had stolen. And
[01:56:33.920 --> 01:56:40.640]  he passed them off to Washington Post, New York Times. I think both of them got a copy of it.
[01:56:40.640 --> 01:56:46.320]  And so they had to decide whether they're going to publish this stuff or not. And it was not
[01:56:46.320 --> 01:56:52.240]  anything that was going to get anybody in trouble. It was about the conduct of the war and the
[01:56:52.240 --> 01:56:57.280]  attitude of the politicians. And the Supreme Court said, well, you can't come after the news
[01:56:57.280 --> 01:57:01.440]  organizations. You can come after the guy who stole the information and handed it over to them.
[01:57:01.440 --> 01:57:08.800]  But we have this thing called freedom of the press that is held in contempt by Pete Hegseth,
[01:57:08.800 --> 01:57:15.360]  held in contempt by Cash Mattel. You know what? It sucks to be bored. But when I get on my phone

[01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:18.880]  Because it's held in contempt by their master, Donald Trump. So again, they're investigating
[01:58:18.880 --> 01:58:27.680]  this leak. It'll be interesting to see how this goes because Trump has broken all of the conventions
[01:58:27.680 --> 01:58:32.560]  about freedom of the press and free speech, hasn't he? If you put something out that he doesn't like,
[01:58:33.120 --> 01:58:37.920]  then they are going to come after you. And it appears that this is going to be coming after
[01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:44.560]  her. They seized her phone, took her Garmin watch, which would have information about where she has
[01:58:44.560 --> 01:58:50.640]  been, that type of thing. And according to Pam Bondi, she said this past week at the request of
[01:58:50.640 --> 01:58:55.280]  the Department of War, the Department of Justice, and it's not a Department of War, they haven't
[01:58:55.280 --> 01:58:58.720]  officially changed the name. That'd cost billions of dollars for them to do that. They haven't done
[01:58:58.720 --> 01:59:05.760]  that. This whole thing is a fantasy for them. The FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a
[01:59:05.760 --> 01:59:12.320]  Washington Post journalist who obtained and reporting, who was obtaining and was reporting
[01:59:12.960 --> 01:59:20.720]  classified illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor. And so I guarantee you,
[01:59:20.720 --> 01:59:24.960]  we'll have to wait and see what happens, but I can almost guarantee you that this is not going to be
[01:59:25.280 --> 01:59:29.120]  anything that's going to put anybody's lives in danger. This is going to be something that
[01:59:29.120 --> 01:59:32.880]  embarrasses Pete Hicks. Well, let me tell you something he should be embarrassed about.
[01:59:33.760 --> 01:59:40.240]  Grok is going to get access to classified military networks, right? But not reporters. If you report
[01:59:40.240 --> 01:59:44.320]  something that a contractor has told you about their policy, they're going to try to throw you
[01:59:44.320 --> 01:59:50.880]  in jail. But they're going to get full access to all the classified military stuff that should be
[01:59:50.880 --> 01:59:58.160]  classified. That's going to go to Grok. This is how foolish Hickseth is. In December, Musk's
[01:59:59.440 --> 02:00:04.560]  chatbot, Grok, made headlines for casually distributing the private addresses and phone
[02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:09.600]  numbers of everyday people, scraping data from public sources with unsettling ease while other
[02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:17.520]  AI models refused. Now this same chatbot is going to be welcomed into a far more sensitive area.
[02:00:17.520 --> 02:00:21.200]  The people have told us that everything must be hidden for national security
[02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:27.360]  are going to now turn it over to a chatbot that doesn't have such a great record for
[02:00:27.360 --> 02:00:33.360]  confidentiality. This week, Pete announced that Grok will be integrated into the Pentagon's
[02:00:33.360 --> 02:00:40.480]  classified system later this month as part of a sweeping department-wide initiative to weaponize
[02:00:40.480 --> 02:00:47.360]  AI. Well, just be careful. You may have AI weaponized against you is all I can say.
[02:00:47.360 --> 02:00:50.960]  Hickseth announced the creation of a new role within the Department of Defense,
[02:00:50.960 --> 02:00:56.720]  the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer. As if we didn't already have enough
[02:00:56.720 --> 02:01:03.600]  artificial intelligence in the Pentagon before they had computers, right? It's like another one
[02:01:03.600 --> 02:01:10.240]  of these oxymorons. So this is a guy who used to work at Amazon's web services because they've got
[02:01:10.240 --> 02:01:16.000]  a lot of government contracts, so they're pulling this guy in for that. Other AI models have their
[02:01:16.000 --> 02:01:22.480]  own ethics and safety issues. A futurism survey of chatbots, including ChatGBT, Microsoft's Copilot,
[02:01:22.480 --> 02:01:30.480]  and Grok found that only Grok was willing to give operational suggestions for hypothetical invasion
[02:01:30.480 --> 02:01:36.720]  of Greenland. The rest of them refused, citing international law and other ethical issues.
[02:01:36.720 --> 02:01:42.720]  So there you go. It's already set to go for Greenland. Rampall says that Trump's Department
[02:01:42.720 --> 02:01:49.760]  of Justice still has not acted on his criminal referral of Fauci. What a surprise. Are you
[02:01:49.760 --> 02:01:56.960]  surprised about that? And Fauci is a good example of this. He is the very embodiment of this stuff.
[02:01:56.960 --> 02:02:03.920]  Trump set him up as the viceroy, and maybe even you could say even higher than that because he
[02:02:03.920 --> 02:02:11.600]  bowed to Fauci. And last thing he did was to give him a medal. I know it was a commendation,
[02:02:11.600 --> 02:02:16.880]  not a physical medal, but that's the last thing that Trump did was to honor him. The last thing
[02:02:16.880 --> 02:02:26.000]  that Biden did was to pardon him. Why does Rampall think he's going to get a criminal referral on
[02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:30.400]  Fauci? There's no way the system is going to do that. The system has protected him. You might want
[02:02:30.400 --> 02:02:36.080]  to start with something a little bit more obvious than what Rampall did. And what Rampall is saying
[02:02:36.720 --> 02:02:43.280]  is he was on Joe Rogan, and he said that he had been talking to R.F.K. Jr. and R.F.K. Jr.,
[02:02:43.840 --> 02:02:48.640]  who does not like Fauci and really did a good job of exposing him. He wrote a whole book about
[02:02:48.640 --> 02:02:59.760]  Fauci. R.F.K. Jr. told Rampall that Fauci had allegedly told people to destroy messages that
[02:02:59.760 --> 02:03:06.480]  he sent them after reading because he has been so connected with intelligence the entire time,
[02:03:06.480 --> 02:03:10.880]  hasn't he? I mean, going back to Dark Winter and other things like that, that's where the pandemic
[02:03:11.440 --> 02:03:19.280]  games came from. And so... You know what? It sucks to be bored. But when I get on my phone and play

[02:04:15.920 --> 02:04:19.760]  you can't do that. The executive branch, when they communicate, they're required to keep their
[02:04:19.840 --> 02:04:24.880]  communications. They're required to do it on governmental devices. So we have this evidence,
[02:04:24.880 --> 02:04:29.680]  and I've summarized it again as a criminal referral to President Trump, but they're not
[02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:38.960]  doing anything with it. I wonder why. You might want to start with why was Fauci paid double
[02:04:38.960 --> 02:04:44.320]  what was legal for him to be paid? His salary was supposed to be capped as everybody's salary. His
[02:04:44.320 --> 02:04:49.840]  boss, his boss's boss, their salaries were capped beneath that of the vice president,
[02:04:49.840 --> 02:04:57.920]  which is just over $200,000. Fauci's salary was higher than the president's salary. It was well
[02:04:57.920 --> 02:05:04.880]  over $400,000. And so the question might start there. Why was he illegally compensated and what
[02:05:04.880 --> 02:05:09.360]  other kinds of illegal compensation did he get in terms of royalties and other things like that?
[02:05:09.360 --> 02:05:14.960]  Start with the money. That'll get people's attention. We start talking about destroying
[02:05:16.560 --> 02:05:22.560]  things and you start focusing on gain of function. Rampall doesn't seem to understand that the real
[02:05:22.560 --> 02:05:30.640]  gain of function from the COVID fraud, the COVID MacGuffin, the MacGuffin was there to give gain
[02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:39.120]  of function to the government. The government is a dangerous, deadly virus that is metastasized
[02:05:39.120 --> 02:05:45.520]  like a cancer. And really the gain of function that came from all that stuff was the fake pandemic.
[02:05:46.480 --> 02:05:52.800]  That's the worst gain of function that's there. But of course we've got people like Ursula Fond
[02:05:52.800 --> 02:05:56.800]  of lying and she has always hated free speech. Remember?
[02:05:57.360 --> 02:06:09.840]  Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and
[02:06:09.840 --> 02:06:18.080]  sobering read. For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not
[02:06:18.160 --> 02:06:27.360]  conflict or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by
[02:06:27.360 --> 02:06:29.360]  polarization within our societies.
[02:06:29.920 --> 02:06:37.920]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You are listening to the David Knight show.
[02:06:42.720 --> 02:06:44.720]  Yeah, Ursula Fond of lying.
[02:06:44.880 --> 02:06:50.880]  She's now saying that free speech is a virus and we need to have a vaccine for it. She wants to kill you if you exercise,
[02:06:50.880 --> 02:06:56.880]  you know, the vaccine is going to kill you, right? Just like the Trump shot. And she has always been
[02:06:56.880 --> 02:07:03.760]  after free speech. And of course, you know, there are a lot of people out there who don't
[02:07:03.760 --> 02:07:10.960]  believe in free speech. And I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who don't believe in free speech.
[02:07:10.960 --> 02:07:16.160]  She has always been after free speech. And of course, you know, there at Davos, she was talking to
[02:07:16.160 --> 02:07:22.480]  Herr Klaus. Well, Trump's going to be there talking to Herr Klaus. Just remember the last time Trump
[02:07:22.480 --> 02:07:29.600]  went to Davos, we wound up with a global pandemic a couple of weeks later. So just hope that doesn't
[02:07:29.600 --> 02:07:37.680]  happen again. So again, the first sign of a scoundrel, I think, and a liar is somebody who
[02:07:37.680 --> 02:07:44.000]  seeks to censor other people. Someone like Ursula Fond of lying. Somebody like Shlomo,
[02:07:44.000 --> 02:07:50.080]  the billionaire from Israel who was saying we have to kill the First Amendment in order to protect
[02:07:50.080 --> 02:07:56.720]  the First Amendment. And the second sign is that they are doing this all as public officials.
[02:07:58.320 --> 02:08:03.440]  We have a right to privacy and secrecy, which they deny. Public officials, as I said before,
[02:08:03.440 --> 02:08:08.320]  the very word public means that it's common to all. So if you're a public official, the information
[02:08:08.320 --> 02:08:13.760]  that you have should be common to all. Everybody should know what you're doing. We should have
[02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:21.680]  transparency. She doesn't like that. In 2024, Ursula Fond of lying, who is the non popularly
[02:08:21.680 --> 02:08:28.560]  elected president of the European Commission, the ultra girl boss extraordinaire came out swinging
[02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:34.960]  against free speech and a white knuckle speech in which she likened malign information, she said,
[02:08:35.520 --> 02:08:43.360]  to a virus society must be inoculated against via the vaccine of pre-bunking is what she called.
[02:08:43.360 --> 02:08:49.680]  That's just censorship. But pre-bunking is actually even more than censorship. It's identifying
[02:08:49.680 --> 02:08:56.000]  people. It's what we talked about with the CCPA, the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication
[02:08:56.560 --> 02:09:00.880]  that Gates and Microsoft were pushing through. They got hardware, software companies, as well
[02:09:00.880 --> 02:09:06.240]  as the people who are going to tell you what's true and not, the establishment media like New
[02:09:06.240 --> 02:09:12.240]  York Times, Washington Post, BBC. Then once they got that, the hardware and software companies are
[02:09:12.240 --> 02:09:18.080]  going to label your content, whether it was a picture, text, or video, or audio, they would
[02:09:18.080 --> 02:09:23.440]  label it and prevent you from even uploading it. That'd be pre-bunking, right? One of the sad things
[02:09:23.440 --> 02:09:31.760]  to me is I can imagine a lot of people would be ecstatic about this. From a young age, I'm dumb,
[02:09:31.760 --> 02:09:37.200]  so I like to go on the internet and argue with people. I realized most people automatically
[02:09:37.200 --> 02:09:43.120]  default to argumentation from authority. Well, this person over here with a lab coat or a doctorate
[02:09:43.120 --> 02:09:49.200]  says this. Well, does it make any sense? Well, it doesn't matter. This person who got a degree
[02:09:49.200 --> 02:09:54.160]  said it, so your argument doesn't matter. That's right. They don't want to debate the facts. They
[02:09:54.160 --> 02:09:58.240]  don't want to do science. I remember at the beginning of this thing, I played the clip over,
[02:09:58.240 --> 02:10:04.400]  you know, the pandemic thing. They had six people in white lab coats and there was going to be a
[02:10:04.400 --> 02:10:10.080]  person speaking. Before this person speaks, they want to have the authority of the people in white
[02:10:10.080 --> 02:10:17.200]  lab coats. They had these people go out on stage. Three of them go out on one side of the podium,
[02:10:17.200 --> 02:10:21.680]  cross their hands, stand there in their white lab coats. So you got three on each side in white
[02:10:21.680 --> 02:10:28.320]  lab coats, six total. And then the speaker comes out and takes the podium. That's the insanity of
[02:10:28.320 --> 02:10:32.400]  this. This is exactly what you're talking about, Travis. You're right. As technology evolves,
[02:10:32.400 --> 02:10:38.080]  we need to build up societal immunity, she said, around information manipulation. Research has
[02:10:38.080 --> 02:10:43.920]  shown that pre-bunking is more successful than debunking and that prevention is preferable to
[02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:52.560]  a cure. Well, I just got to say to Ursula Fonda-Wein, her actual name is Ursula Fonda-Leiden,
[02:10:52.560 --> 02:10:57.600]  or Leiden, I guess. But anyway, she's fond of lying. I just got to say I've got natural immunity
[02:10:57.600 --> 02:11:03.360]  to government lies. I don't need to be vaccinated anymore because, you know, it's like being exposed,
[02:11:03.360 --> 02:11:08.720]  right? According to virology. Virology is the ultimate lie. But according to the science of
[02:11:08.720 --> 02:11:15.360]  virology, you know, you get exposed to something and you get immunity to it. Once you see how the
[02:11:15.360 --> 02:11:23.600]  government has lied, and we should have all seen that in 2020, once you see that, you should have
[02:11:23.600 --> 02:11:33.360]  immunity to government lies. And the fact that they forward their agenda just by labeling people
[02:11:33.360 --> 02:11:39.440]  and by then ranking them, which is what Slow Mo was talking about. He wasn't just talking about
[02:11:39.440 --> 02:11:44.560]  censorship. He was talking about this pre-bunking. We're going to take something we disagree with,
[02:11:44.560 --> 02:11:49.280]  we're going to label that person as a terrorist or as a liar or whatever, and we're going to stop
[02:11:49.280 --> 02:11:54.400]  them from being able to publish anything whatsoever. And so we appreciate your support. Thank you for
[02:11:54.400 --> 02:11:59.840]  that. And that's our show for today. Tomorrow, we're going to have a couple of great interviews.
[02:11:59.840 --> 02:12:04.720]  We're going to have the doctors, Dr. Sam Bailey and her husband, Mark Bailey are going to be
[02:12:04.720 --> 02:12:11.520]  joining us from New Zealand. And Sam Bailey is the only person I know that has lost two careers
[02:12:12.160 --> 02:12:18.320]  over her integrity of opposing this COVID pandemic stuff. She had a very lucrative career as a very
[02:12:18.320 --> 02:12:25.280]  successful TV presenter in New Zealand. And both she and her husband are physicians. And we're going
[02:12:25.280 --> 02:12:30.080]  to talk in that interview about what was done to them. You won't believe what they did and what
[02:12:30.080 --> 02:12:34.640]  they're still doing to them, attacking them financially. After losing their careers as
[02:12:34.640 --> 02:12:40.080]  doctors, because they told people the truth, and losing her career also as a presenter,
[02:12:40.720 --> 02:12:44.800]  they have held their line and they've kept their integrity. They're a real model for people. And
[02:12:44.800 --> 02:12:50.480]  they got a lot of information for you as well, not only about the vaccines, but about virology
[02:12:50.560 --> 02:12:54.000]  and viruses as well. So they're going to be joining us tomorrow. And
[02:12:54.000 --> 02:12:59.760]  Joel Salinti is going to be joining us and he's going to talk about his trends for 2026. I know
[02:12:59.760 --> 02:13:04.800]  a lot of people have been very interested to hear what Joel Salinti thinks is going to be happening
[02:13:04.800 --> 02:13:10.480]  in this very interesting year. So thank you for joining us today. Great program coming up tomorrow.
[02:13:10.480 --> 02:13:15.440]  Have a good day.
[02:13:21.520 --> 02:13:22.400]  The Common Man.
[02:13:25.680 --> 02:13:31.920]  They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Pass to track and control us.
[02:13:31.920 --> 02:13:38.240]  Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[02:13:38.480 --> 02:13:45.600]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
[02:13:45.600 --> 02:13:53.680]  created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[02:13:54.400 --> 02:14:00.480]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[02:14:00.480 --> 02:14:07.520]  everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and examine
[02:14:07.840 --> 02:14:13.600]  and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
