[01:26.160 --> 01:37.920]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
[01:42.960 --> 01:50.800]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 20th of January, year of our Lord, 2026. Well, overnight,
[01:50.800 --> 01:57.440]  we had more tantrums about the Nobel Peace Prize, about Greenland. I guess Trump doesn't
[01:57.440 --> 02:00.880]  care. In the letter that he sent to them over the weekend, he said, I don't really care about
[02:00.880 --> 02:05.680]  peace anymore, to paraphrase what he had to say. Could we say that he is bored of peace?
[02:06.560 --> 02:12.320]  Or is it about the peace board? He's got a new organization. He says it's about Gaza,
[02:12.320 --> 02:18.240]  but many other people say it's about much, much more. And some of them have pushed back against
[02:18.240 --> 02:25.200]  this. France pushed back against it. So overnight, Trump had another tariff tantrum, 200 percent
[02:25.200 --> 02:32.160]  tariffs on France. Well, I wonder if the peace board will have a prize. It cost a billion dollars
[02:32.160 --> 02:37.920]  to get into his private club there. We'll be talking about that. And notice there's a trend
[02:37.920 --> 02:42.720]  here with Trump. He sees evil organizations like the Federal Reserve and the UN, and instead of
[02:42.720 --> 02:49.440]  trying to end them, he decides that he's going to take them over and run them as a one man show.
[02:52.240 --> 02:58.320]  Maybe the prize he's going to win is Antichrist, the man of sin. He's got a long list of them,
[02:58.320 --> 03:03.520]  doesn't he? And we're going to take a look at Don Lemon. Don Lemon finally went to church,
[03:03.520 --> 03:05.840]  but for all the wrong reasons, we'll be right back.
[03:05.840 --> 03:13.840]  Yeah, let's talk a little bit about what Trump said. First of all,
[03:15.920 --> 03:24.960]  a letter that he wrote to Norway. So he says, in this very early yesterday, news began to break
[03:24.960 --> 03:29.520]  about Trump's letter to Norway or the country's failure to award him the Nobel Peace Prize.
[03:29.920 --> 03:36.400]  It was so unhinged and so illiterate, that many people didn't believe it was real.
[03:37.600 --> 03:43.920]  And then the White House confirmed, yes, it is real. And the ambassadors of the other countries
[03:43.920 --> 03:48.800]  said, yes, it is real. Confirmation came soon after, after people were questioning,
[03:48.800 --> 03:55.920]  I don't think this is real. In a letter addressed to Norwegian Prime Minister Stor, Trump explained
[03:56.720 --> 04:03.360]  that he no longer feels obligated to focus exclusively on peace while repeating his intent
[04:03.360 --> 04:10.080]  for control over Greenland. He laid out that the Nobel might turn into no Greenland,
[04:10.080 --> 04:15.040]  no Nobel Prize for him might turn into no Greenland for Europe. There you go, tit for tat.
[04:15.680 --> 04:22.560]  As a matter of fact, he writes that this is what he did. And this is why people didn't believe it
[04:22.560 --> 04:29.040]  was real at the very beginning. Dear Jonas, that's the first name of the Prime Minister of
[04:29.040 --> 04:35.760]  Norway, he says, since your country decided not to give me a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping
[04:35.760 --> 04:42.560]  eight wars plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace. Although it will always
[04:42.560 --> 04:49.280]  be dominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States. Again,
[04:50.240 --> 04:58.160]  it was something like this baby pointing to Greenland and the mom says no and he's
[04:58.160 --> 05:00.880]  those temper tantrum and he points at it again here.
[05:06.080 --> 05:08.720]  That's basically it or more like this actually.
[05:08.720 --> 05:20.640]  Yeah, a little bit more, a little bit more violence than the toddler that's there.
[05:20.640 --> 05:25.680]  As for whether Trump indeed wrote it concerning the bombastic letters authenticity, Forbes said
[05:26.400 --> 05:30.800]  that the letter has been forwarded by the National Security Council staff
[05:31.600 --> 05:39.600]  to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. And the message has been reproduced as well,
[05:39.600 --> 05:43.520]  but they're sending it to all these people. It was an official letter. The president also
[05:43.520 --> 05:47.760]  in the letter takes the opportunity to bash Denmark saying it cannot protect Greenland
[05:47.760 --> 05:53.920]  from Russia or China. And again questioned its legal rights to Greenland. He said there's no
[05:53.920 --> 05:58.240]  written documents. It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago. Wait a minute,
[05:58.240 --> 06:06.720]  isn't that our story? This guy is an idiot. He's an idiot. He's overturning all of the standards.
[06:06.720 --> 06:11.360]  Look, however we got here, let's just leave the borders where they are so we can have some peace.
[06:12.480 --> 06:20.320]  It's these geopolitical Machiavellian princes that are constantly starting wars because they
[06:20.320 --> 06:25.200]  need to move the lines on the map. I'm not willing to pay or die for that. Are you?
[06:26.160 --> 06:30.240]  I hope not. So he said, well, you know, we had boats landing there also.
[06:31.120 --> 06:36.880]  Well, hours later, Norway issued a full formal response. Statement from the prime minister's
[06:36.880 --> 06:43.360]  store said, I can confirm that this is a text message that I received yesterday afternoon from
[06:43.360 --> 06:51.600]  Trump. It came in response to a short text message to me from me to Trump sent earlier the same day
[06:51.680 --> 06:57.040]  on behalf of myself and the president of Finland. In our message to Trump, we conveyed our opposition
[07:00.960 --> 07:05.440]  to his announced tariff increases against Norway, Finland and select other countries.
[07:06.080 --> 07:11.760]  We pointed to the need to de-escalate and we proposed a telephone conversation between Trump,
[07:11.760 --> 07:18.240]  Stubb and myself on the same day. And instead, Trump sends this thing back saying, well,
[07:18.240 --> 07:21.280]  I don't feel like I need to talk about peace anymore. I'm bored of this peace stuff. You
[07:21.280 --> 07:24.960]  didn't give me a prize. So you can't have Greenland. I'm going to take Greenland in
[07:24.960 --> 07:32.000]  retaliation. He says in response, Trump came shortly after the message was sent.
[07:32.720 --> 07:38.800]  It was his decision to share the message with other NATO leaders. Again, he didn't just send
[07:38.800 --> 07:46.240]  it to the people that were affected. He didn't just send it to the prime minister there of Norway.
[07:46.240 --> 07:53.440]  He sent it to everybody. He says, and as regards to the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained,
[07:53.440 --> 07:59.600]  including to President Trump, what is well known. And that is that the prize is awarded by an
[07:59.600 --> 08:06.240]  independent Nobel committee and not by the Norwegian government. Trump doesn't understand
[08:06.240 --> 08:10.560]  that. This is the guy who wants to rule the world and he doesn't even bother with those details.
[08:10.560 --> 08:14.960]  All he knows is that he wants his prize. Somebody get him a box of Cracker Jacks.
[08:16.320 --> 08:20.240]  Norway's prime minister, Stor, has since explained the letter came in response to the joint message
[08:20.240 --> 08:25.680]  they sent earlier with Trump or the Finnish president, rejecting the White House plans to
[08:25.680 --> 08:30.400]  impose higher tariffs on Scandinavian countries. We pointed out the need to deescalate the exchange,
[08:30.400 --> 08:37.920]  requested a phone call, and this is what he sent. And there's a cartoon there, a meme rather. Yeah,
[08:37.920 --> 08:46.480]  that's good. This is a 1950s mom. And scroll down, you can see Trump is sitting there and
[08:46.480 --> 08:51.120]  she says, no, you can't have Greenland. You haven't finished your Venezuela yet.
[08:54.480 --> 09:01.040]  He is a child. Let me tell you, when he sends a massive bunch of troops to Greenland, which he
[09:01.040 --> 09:05.360]  has the legal authority to do because there's a treaty there. We've already got bases there.
[09:05.440 --> 09:09.280]  I think that's the way it's going to happen. When he does that, I think the headline should be
[09:09.280 --> 09:18.800]  the ego has landed. That's what this is all about. So again, he says he no longer feels an obligation
[09:18.800 --> 09:25.840]  to think purely of peace. And yet he's starting his so-called peace board that is there. Again,
[09:25.840 --> 09:32.400]  when you look at the absurdity of the argument from the Trump administration, shame on all these
[09:32.400 --> 09:37.440]  people who are there. The whole lot of them, whether it's Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Pete
[09:37.440 --> 09:46.160]  Hegseth, Caroline Lovett, all of them, they have blown all their credibility for all time
[09:46.720 --> 09:53.200]  because they just follow this guy as a bunch of sycophants. When you look at the argument that's
[09:53.200 --> 09:57.360]  being put out, well, we need to have it for national security. If that were true, you've
[09:57.360 --> 10:02.960]  already got bases, you've already got treaties, first of all. Secondly, it shouldn't be a threat
[10:02.960 --> 10:08.000]  at all. For other NATO countries, if you say that there is a threat from Russia and China,
[10:08.000 --> 10:11.760]  which there isn't, by the way, but if you say that there's a threat from Russia or China,
[10:11.760 --> 10:16.720]  if you want to play the domino theory, if you want to play the cold war, yeah, how about that? I
[10:16.720 --> 10:25.680]  guess that's the new headline we could do. Cold war goes Arctic. A real cold war, just like the
[10:25.680 --> 10:30.400]  drug war goes to a real war. Now we've got the cold war actually going to the Arctic. Anyway,
[10:31.120 --> 10:36.080]  if you want to say that's a threat, then you should welcome the fact that all these countries want to
[10:36.080 --> 10:41.280]  send military there, except that you know they're putting the military there to stop the threat from
[10:41.280 --> 10:45.760]  you, not the threat from Russia, not the threat from China. They're not threatening to take over
[10:45.760 --> 10:54.640]  Greenland. It's you, pal. Look in the mirror, Trump. Article 5 of NATO says that any such attack on
[10:54.640 --> 11:00.160]  Greenland by a nation such as Russia or China would constitute an attack on all the other member
[11:00.160 --> 11:06.560]  states, and they would all be obligated to protect the US, Canada, all of them. So how does this
[11:06.560 --> 11:12.400]  change anything? The national security nonsense that he's putting out there, even if what he's
[11:12.400 --> 11:18.800]  saying is true, and I don't believe that it is, even if that were true, it doesn't justify or
[11:18.800 --> 11:25.920]  even explain. Whether it's slots or live dealers, SpinQuest.com has the fun and action you're looking

[12:16.400 --> 12:25.600]  Why he would want to take over Greenland? Again, it's a NATO country,
[12:25.600 --> 12:30.320]  and when these other countries put their military there, it is to stop the threat from him,
[12:31.120 --> 12:38.400]  not from anybody else. So this one person said, Trump rightfully bashed the mainstream media
[12:38.400 --> 12:43.920]  for making stuff up all the time. Then Trump became president, and he's making stuff up
[12:43.920 --> 12:49.680]  all the time. That's Chris Rossini who said that. He's absolutely right. So again,
[12:50.320 --> 12:55.600]  explain to him, yet again, the Norwegian government plays no role in who gets the prize.
[12:56.720 --> 13:05.040]  But of course, the person who got the prize was Trump. And other people put this clip together,
[13:05.040 --> 13:11.440]  what he had to say about trannies stealing awards from women. The United States will
[13:11.440 --> 13:17.840]  not let men steal trophies from women. Yesterday you accepted Maria Machado's Nobel Prize medal.
[13:17.840 --> 13:21.680]  What do you intend to do with it? And why would you want someone else's Nobel Prize?
[13:21.680 --> 13:26.160]  Well, she offered it to me. I thought it was very nice. She said, you know, you've had eight wars
[13:26.880 --> 13:35.200]  and nobody deserves this prize more than in history. The United States will not let men
[13:35.200 --> 13:44.240]  steal trophies from women. Yeah, well, he's, I guess, kind of a tranny when it comes to awards,
[13:44.240 --> 13:51.920]  isn't he? He's trans peace. He identifies as somebody who's all about peace and yet he's
[13:51.920 --> 13:59.120]  exactly the opposite. So his decision to accept the award is ironic considering how he and his
[13:59.120 --> 14:05.200]  MAGA colleagues have mocked participation trophies as symbols of the declining American
[14:05.200 --> 14:11.600]  culture that they stand against. By choosing to take the Nobel Peace Fries from Machado,
[14:12.320 --> 14:20.320]  he has effectively received his very own participation trophy. And we've also seen
[14:20.320 --> 14:26.640]  what Machado is as well. She's going to cave to this. I'm so sick and tired of seeing people
[14:26.640 --> 14:35.120]  bow the knee to this childish, brutish tyranny of Trump on every issue they do it. And the media
[14:35.120 --> 14:41.760]  does it as well. Even some of the media that doesn't like Trump is now so intimidated by him
[14:41.760 --> 14:49.360]  that they bow the knee to him. Shame on them. Well, people are going even further than this,
[14:49.360 --> 14:54.080]  especially in other countries. I said, this is what the 25th Amendment is for. You know,
[14:54.080 --> 15:00.960]  when people do the kinds of things Trump has done in the last 24, 48 hours. In the message,
[15:00.960 --> 15:06.320]  he directly linked his demand that Denmark hand over Greenland to his personal grievance over not
[15:06.320 --> 15:12.080]  getting the Nobel Prize. And so one person said, well, to some people it reads like a parody,
[15:12.720 --> 15:17.040]  but it really is true. You know, the State Department sent this to all these different countries.
[15:18.000 --> 15:23.600]  And so again, some people, this is what the 25th Amendment is for, wrote one person.
[15:24.240 --> 15:31.920]  And so Andy Kim says, unhinged, embarrassing, but also incredibly dangerous.
[15:32.720 --> 15:38.400]  Trump is doing lasting damage to our global position, which will harm our ability to keep
[15:38.400 --> 15:45.680]  America safe, secure, and prosperous. Well, that's absolutely true. You know, this first
[15:45.680 --> 15:49.840]  round of tariffs and the chaos that he's done, as I talked about, this has made it impossible
[15:49.840 --> 15:53.280]  for a lot of businesses to do business and to stay in business because they don't know
[15:53.280 --> 15:57.600]  what their expenses are going to be. They're fluctuating wildly depending on what Trump had
[15:57.600 --> 16:02.000]  for dinner last night and whether he had nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night tweeting.
[16:02.720 --> 16:10.400]  And so we see yet another example of this, even as his case is before the Supreme Court
[16:10.400 --> 16:16.800]  in terms of tariffs. He is out there in the middle of the night saying, okay, well, France
[16:17.440 --> 16:20.960]  doesn't want to join my peace board, so I'm going to put a 200 percent
[16:20.960 --> 16:28.240]  tariff against their wine and champagne. You know, he's already killed the American,
[16:28.240 --> 16:32.800]  the Kentucky bourbon industry pretty much. They're closing, you know, it's crashing because
[16:32.800 --> 16:39.520]  people are boycotting American products in other countries. And what we've always known
[16:39.520 --> 16:45.360]  about the tariffs are that they are a tax and that the president doesn't have the authority
[16:45.360 --> 16:51.920]  to unilaterally declare a tax. That's the legal issue that's there. And his appeal to the IEPA
[16:51.920 --> 16:59.040]  thing saying that it is an emergency is a fraud. It's a lie. The Supreme Court should know this
[16:59.600 --> 17:04.800]  from the legal standpoint. But his other recourse is to say, well, if we have to give back all the
[17:04.800 --> 17:08.960]  money that we've stolen from people, it's going to be a mess. It's going to be chaos. So in
[17:08.960 --> 17:14.480]  actually tries to make a pragmatic argument against it. Even as you have industries like
[17:14.480 --> 17:18.720]  the Kentucky bourbon industry being shut down. Now he wants to try to shut down the French wine
[17:18.720 --> 17:23.680]  and champagne industry with tariffs as well, but it's blowing back. And we've always known
[17:23.680 --> 17:29.600]  that it's a tariff that ultimately it'll be reflected in higher prices for Americans.
[17:30.720 --> 17:34.320]  You know, I've been to the UK a couple of times when we went on our honeymoon.
[17:34.800 --> 17:39.360]  Actually, it was more noticeable when we went back in 1984, when the dollar was strong.
[17:40.320 --> 17:46.560]  And but even on our honeymoon, when the dollar was weak, it was unbelievable in terms of just
[17:46.560 --> 17:50.960]  normalizing what people paid for commodities like cameras and things like that from Japan,
[17:50.960 --> 17:58.720]  which were not being manufactured in the UK. But because they were worried about this idea
[17:59.600 --> 18:04.960]  of a trade deficit, they put very heavy duties on a lot of things. And so I looked at the price of
[18:04.960 --> 18:10.480]  it and thought, you know, even with this, you know, we went in 1980, the American dollar was very,
[18:10.480 --> 18:17.520]  very weak after Carter. And when we went back in 1984, it was very, very strong. Everything was
[18:17.520 --> 18:25.200]  relatively cheap then. But even in 1980, things that they were importing were far more expensive
[18:25.200 --> 18:29.680]  in the UK than they were in America, even though the UK currency, the pound was much
[18:29.680 --> 18:36.080]  stronger than the American dollar at the time. And it was all due to tariffs, tariffs that had
[18:36.080 --> 18:43.120]  nothing to do with anything except for this fetish about a trade deficit. Again, if you're
[18:43.120 --> 18:49.280]  not making the product, you don't have anybody that's making cameras. Why put a tax on cameras
[18:49.280 --> 18:54.240]  coming from Japan? But they did that anyway. And so it is ultimately paid by the consumer.
[18:54.240 --> 18:58.640]  We all know that. Now there's been another study, the Wall Street Journal has it,
[18:59.680 --> 19:05.840]  saying exactly that, that it's causing prices to go up in America. But in addition to that,
[19:06.560 --> 19:13.680]  his volatility, his vacillation is causing American businesses to go out of business.
[19:14.320 --> 19:21.360]  And the ill will that he's created makes it so that people in other countries are boycotting
[19:21.360 --> 19:25.760]  American products like Kentucky bourbon, to the extent that they're shutting down
[19:25.760 --> 19:31.680]  factories in Kentucky. So that's the truth of all this. George Conway said the entire world
[19:31.680 --> 19:35.920]  knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking
[19:35.920 --> 19:41.440]  about that? Yeah, that's exactly right. We hear the expression all the time,
[19:42.000 --> 19:48.320]  don't take Trump literally, but take him seriously. Well, I think we literally need to take him
[19:48.320 --> 19:57.920]  seriously because the guy is absolutely unhinged and a bull in the china shop.
[19:58.880 --> 20:03.600]  One person said, this is like a letter from a child. Unfortunately, it's a child with enormous
[20:03.600 --> 20:07.760]  destructive power at his disposal. I looked at that and I thought of the Twilight Zone episode,
[20:07.760 --> 20:12.320]  we had Billy Mummy as a little kid that everybody was afraid of because he could wish him into the
[20:12.320 --> 20:16.480]  cornfield and turn him into a jack in the box or something like that. And that's the way people
[20:16.480 --> 20:22.400]  behave around Trump, isn't it? Do you love your job so much that you allow injustices
[20:22.400 --> 20:28.720]  and the overthrow of the constitution by this petty little toddler tyrant? It's pathetic.
[20:29.920 --> 20:35.200]  Larry Sabato says Trump is throwing an infantile temper tantrum because he didn't get the Nobel
[20:35.200 --> 20:43.520]  Peace Prize. And again, Trump doesn't even have the self-awareness to understand how this looks
[20:43.520 --> 20:51.600]  to the world. And so we look at the taunts with the text memes and trash talk that happened
[20:51.600 --> 20:58.480]  last night and another Greenland blitz. Trump compressed a week's worth of diplomatic taunting
[20:58.480 --> 21:03.840]  into a single overnight burst of social media activity on Tuesday, calling NATO's secretary
[21:03.840 --> 21:10.480]  general, announcing a Greenland summit and leaking private messages, mocking Canada's
[21:10.480 --> 21:17.760]  sovereignty and attacking the UK over a key US military base. And so that's how he spent the night.
[21:18.720 --> 21:26.240]  I hope the rest of you got some sleep last night. And then he puts up, get this, see if you have
[21:26.240 --> 21:29.760]  this article, I don't know if I sent this one to you or not, I don't think I did. But there's a
[21:29.760 --> 21:38.080]  picture, they actually did an AI picture where he's in the Oval Office and he's got all the leaders
[21:39.040 --> 21:46.320]  of Europe sitting around in front of him and he's holding court. And on the side, they've got a map
[21:47.040 --> 21:51.600]  that shows all the Western Hemisphere with an American flag over it. This is something that
[21:51.600 --> 21:57.280]  was created by AI. This is something that Trump pushed out. This is what he tweeted out. An AI
[21:57.280 --> 22:02.720]  produced image of him presenting a doctored map of the Western Hemisphere showing Canada, Greenland,
[22:02.720 --> 22:09.680]  and Venezuela all under a US flag. And he's showing this to all the European leaders that are there.
[22:09.680 --> 22:15.760]  This is how childish it is. Then there's another one. He's planting the flag on Greenland.
[22:16.480 --> 22:24.080]  There's a sign that says, Greenland, US territory established 2026. And standing behind him are
[22:24.080 --> 22:32.000]  little Marco and JD Vance. How pathetic is that? He closed the barrage by attacking Britain over
[22:32.000 --> 22:38.640]  the great stupidity of his decision to turn the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius,
[22:39.360 --> 22:44.160]  if that's how you pronounce that country. Now, I've never even noticed the name of it. It's
[22:44.160 --> 22:50.880]  where they have the Diego Garcia military base. He's upset about the fact that was turned over
[22:50.880 --> 22:57.120]  to them, even though Marco Rubio welcomed it and said it was a great thing that was happening.
[22:57.840 --> 23:02.160]  So maybe he's just getting warmed up for Davos. Maybe he wants to go there and fight everybody.
[23:02.160 --> 23:06.880]  He wants to be seen as the anti-globalist, but he's the guy who is consolidating everything.
[23:06.880 --> 23:10.880]  I mean, he wants to run. He wants to have his own little private UN where you pay a billion dollars
[23:10.880 --> 23:17.120]  to join. He calls it a peace board. He wants to run the Federal Reserve. He wants to take over one
[23:17.120 --> 23:21.760]  country after the other. I've never seen an American president openly doing this kind of stuff
[23:22.320 --> 23:26.080]  and boasting about it. They all are ashamed if they do this kind of thing in the past. They've
[23:26.080 --> 23:33.040]  done it in the past, but they're ashamed of it. He's boasting about it. And yet at the same time,
[23:33.040 --> 23:37.680]  he is obsessed over getting this peace prize. Is it because Obama got one? Is that why you
[23:37.680 --> 23:44.000]  have to have it? I just don't understand. So we're going to take a quick break and we come back.
[23:44.000 --> 23:51.920]  We're going to take a look at what is a run-up to Davos. So stay with us. We'll be right back.

[26:58.560 --> 27:04.320]  about to kick off, it's kind of interesting to think about the agenda of the globalist. The part,
[27:04.320 --> 27:09.040]  big part of this, of course, is the great replacement. Destroying native cultures and
[27:10.720 --> 27:17.360]  everything about a country so they can take, level everything down, and then build it back up with
[27:17.360 --> 27:23.920]  their homogenized, culturalist world. And so we're seeing a big pushback against that. We're seeing
[27:23.920 --> 27:30.240]  that this is really backfiring in the UK. Kind of in the same way that Davos's, you'll own nothing
[27:30.240 --> 27:38.320]  and you'll be happy, backfired on them. In the UK, they created this thing that was, they called
[27:38.320 --> 27:45.440]  it Amelia. It was an avatar that was actually funded by the UK government as part of a quote
[27:45.440 --> 27:51.920]  unquote educational project. It was really propaganda to lecture people about why they
[27:51.920 --> 27:59.120]  needed to be tolerant and accept the destruction of their culture and their country. And so it was
[27:59.120 --> 28:03.760]  UK government funded education program as part of an interactive learning tool,
[28:04.400 --> 28:08.160]  a game that they called Pathways. And this is what the avatar looked like.
[28:09.200 --> 28:15.760]  This is Amelia. She got purple hair and there is a UK flag there, but then they do everything they
[28:15.760 --> 28:24.080]  can to destroy that. It was aimed at teaching teens media literacy and awareness of online
[28:24.080 --> 28:29.200]  radicalization. So they used, they were going to use Amelia to tell them, don't believe what you
[28:29.200 --> 28:35.120]  hear on social media. Don't believe what other people tell you. Listen to us. We are the ministry
[28:35.120 --> 28:42.880]  of truth. And so if you disagree with them, of course, you are radicalized. You are extreme
[28:43.920 --> 28:48.800]  and especially on views of things like anti-immigration views or other thought
[28:48.800 --> 28:55.200]  crimes. The character of purple haired goth style young woman was designed as an antagonist
[28:55.200 --> 29:01.440]  or a negative example in the program. It was created under a government contract,
[29:01.440 --> 29:07.200]  a funding initiative. So I said, yeah, you know, here's, here's this flag waving Amelia. You don't
[29:07.200 --> 29:13.520]  want to be like her. Yes. Young men routinely don't want to adopt views of attractive young women.
[29:13.920 --> 29:21.760]  That's right. What idiot came up with this? It backfired big time folks, big time. So what they
[29:21.760 --> 29:25.280]  did was they took that cartoon character that was created by the UK government to lecture people,
[29:25.280 --> 29:30.320]  say, don't be anti-immigration. Don't be like Amelia and everything. And they made her hyper
[29:30.320 --> 29:38.800]  patriotic. Here's an example. Tonks. No, I'm Amelia. We need to talk about Islam in the UK.
[29:38.800 --> 29:43.760]  Catholic Protestant atheist. We're all buggered if Islam takes over,
[29:43.760 --> 29:48.080]  witches must be burnt, of course, but honor killing your daughters for not wearing hijab is much too
[29:48.080 --> 29:55.840]  far. But Wallace, dogs are haram. If the Muslims take over, gromit is a goner. Pigs are haram too,
[29:55.840 --> 30:04.480]  Pepper. Your entire family line ended. And forget LGBT acceptance. Muslims will toss them out the
[30:04.560 --> 30:10.320]  window. Literally. First, we remove the Islamists from our government and our country, Paddington,
[30:10.880 --> 30:19.520]  then Marmalade. Excellent job. They took this character that was created to shame people
[30:19.520 --> 30:24.080]  about being patriotic and they doubled down on her. Here's another example. There's several
[30:24.080 --> 30:32.160]  of these videos out there. Hi, I'm Amelia. I'm English and I love England. I like having fish
[30:32.160 --> 30:40.240]  and chips and a pint at the local pub. I like Shakespeare and Dickens, Tolkien and Lewis, Harry
[30:40.240 --> 30:54.880]  Potter. I like pork sausage and dogs and fashion. But I don't like that. Brits are famously polite,
[30:54.880 --> 30:59.760]  but it mustn't mean we're willing to commit cultural suicide. Our institutions, the Church
[30:59.760 --> 31:05.360]  of England, the BBC, are a bunch of queers and nonces. How the bloody hell did we go from
[31:05.360 --> 31:09.360]  Churchill to you, you git? So you get the idea. And where is this kind of stuff really coming
[31:09.360 --> 31:17.280]  from? Well, it was at Davos where we had Ursula, who was fond of lying, so concerned about what
[31:17.280 --> 31:23.280]  she calls disinformation, which would be any information that dismisses what she's telling
[31:23.280 --> 31:36.000]  you in terms of lies. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report
[31:37.280 --> 31:43.600]  makes for a stunning and sobering read. For the global business community,
[31:44.560 --> 31:53.040]  the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate. It is disinformation
[31:53.040 --> 31:59.600]  and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies.
[32:10.400 --> 32:15.520]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
[32:16.320 --> 32:18.640]  You are listening to the David Knight Show.
[32:23.200 --> 32:27.760]  Yeah, Hare Claus is not going to be there this year at Davos, but instead they're going to have
[32:27.760 --> 32:36.240]  Frau Trump, or I should say Frau Laura. She's going to be there singing, I guess, and Trump is going
[32:36.240 --> 32:42.640]  to be, Daddy Trump is going to be talking to these people, trying to convince. What's up,

[33:44.720 --> 33:50.240]  even though he implements their agendas for them. Think back to 2020. Do you realize what happened
[33:50.240 --> 34:00.080]  in 2020? It was the globalist agenda writ large. It was the lockdown and universal basic income,
[34:00.080 --> 34:05.680]  all kinds of conditioning. Conditioning for a global digital ID. Now, you got to have a pass
[34:05.760 --> 34:11.440]  in order to get these different places, right? Well, her singing has been called a Geneva
[34:11.440 --> 34:18.240]  Convention violation. And she's just done another music video. As a matter of fact,
[34:18.240 --> 34:23.840]  they're putting up this hero video of her everywhere. So much so that many people
[34:25.760 --> 34:30.880]  couldn't abide it anymore. And she's got an interesting history. Began back in 2023,
[34:30.880 --> 34:39.120]  her singing history. And as Yahoo Entertainment points out, what they call the Tom Petty era.
[34:39.840 --> 34:46.080]  It started with a cover of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down. A choice that came with baggage,
[34:46.720 --> 34:52.240]  given that the Tom Petty estate had issued a cease and desist order to the Trump campaign
[34:52.240 --> 34:58.960]  in 2020 for using the song at rallies. So she did a cover of it. And this is their way to double
[34:58.960 --> 35:04.800]  down, I guess. Her cover debuted in the top 10 of Billboard's digital song sales chart because
[35:04.800 --> 35:11.600]  again, MAGA is going to buy it. However, most listeners were less impressed. One called it bad
[35:11.600 --> 35:18.000]  auto-tuned karaoke. Another said they couldn't believe how bad it was. They had been prepared
[35:18.000 --> 35:23.200]  for the horror that she might have a great voice, only to find it embarrassingly awful.
[35:23.840 --> 35:30.240]  At the 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner, Colin Jost addressed Trump directly.
[35:30.880 --> 35:36.720]  And he said, she recently released a cover of I Won't Back Down. On hearing it, Tom Petty died
[35:36.720 --> 35:44.320]  again. And he said, I can't believe I'm saying this to a member of the Trump family, but maybe
[35:44.320 --> 35:53.440]  you should stick to politics. Then 2024, the firefighter tribute, Hero, which has been
[35:54.000 --> 36:01.840]  everywhere, absolutely everywhere. So in response, some people put out a auto-tune,
[36:01.840 --> 36:05.920]  a version of Hero that they said was not auto-tuned. And it sounds like this.
[36:14.320 --> 36:41.200]  I guess that's to drive home the idea that she is not the goat. She is not the greatest of all time,
[36:41.280 --> 36:49.120]  to say the least. When you look at Davos, well, before we get to that, she's actually saying,
[36:49.120 --> 36:54.800]  well, there's a lot of people who don't want me to sing at the Erica Kirk alternative event at
[36:54.800 --> 37:02.240]  halftime for the Super Bowl. And I told them, I would be available, whatever. So she's pretending
[37:02.240 --> 37:05.920]  that the left doesn't want her, so that the right will invite her.
[37:05.920 --> 37:11.040]  I heard that there are a lot of people out there on the left who are melting down and very upset
[37:11.120 --> 37:18.240]  about the possibility that I might be performing at the halftime show for the Super Bowl for
[37:18.240 --> 37:25.120]  Turning Point USA. While my joking offer, which was clearly a comical and joking offer,
[37:25.120 --> 37:28.560]  still seems to perform. I've not been asked in any formal way.
[37:28.560 --> 37:30.640]  But if you invite me, you can own the left.
[37:30.640 --> 37:35.440]  The Halftime Show for the Super Bowl. But everybody out there continue
[37:35.440 --> 37:38.480]  getting upset about it and freaking out about it.
[37:38.480 --> 37:43.280]  That's amazing. It's amazing how she looks too. I think she's taking ozempic. Doesn't it cause
[37:43.280 --> 37:48.160]  your eyes to sink back in the sockets like that? I've never seen anything like that. What kind of
[37:48.160 --> 37:55.840]  a look is that? I don't know. But it is the Mar-a-Lago plastic surgery plague that they have
[37:55.840 --> 38:01.120]  seems to affect it all. Is it contagious, this lip pumping and all the rest of the stuff?
[38:01.120 --> 38:03.280]  But it's a social contagion.
[38:04.160 --> 38:10.480]  It definitely is. But she's got a hard act to follow. I mean, we look at globalist confabs.
[38:10.480 --> 38:17.520]  I think the best of all time, my favorite at least, was Vladimir Putin's Blueberry Hill.
[38:20.320 --> 38:23.280]  No, I'm Amelia. We need to talk about Islam in the UK.
[38:24.960 --> 38:27.520]  Not there. Hang on. You got it, don't you, Travis?
[38:28.320 --> 38:28.800]  Give me a second.
[38:29.600 --> 38:35.600]  But do you remember that? I think it's great. A lot of people don't like it anymore because Putin
[38:35.600 --> 38:42.240]  is out of favor. But it is a reminder that at one point in time, he was a darling of the globalist.
[38:43.040 --> 38:47.040]  Now they don't like him. So yeah, let's give it a try. Here we go.
[38:47.040 --> 38:59.280]  This is my favorite rendition of this song by Franklin.
[39:08.960 --> 39:14.320]  And all the celebrities there. There's Jean Depardieu, who's been accused of sexual harassment.
[39:17.040 --> 39:27.280]  Kevin Costner was there.
[39:33.840 --> 39:39.280]  Everybody sing along. There we go. That's the best karaoke right there. Well,
[39:40.240 --> 39:47.200]  again, it's a fan favorite. It's kind of like Porky Pig's rendition of Blue Christmas.
[39:49.760 --> 39:54.320]  So Davos is going to skip, Denmark rather, is going to skip the Davos forum
[39:55.600 --> 40:02.800]  and protest not over Lara Trump, but what that other Trump is singing, the Donald.
[40:02.800 --> 40:07.600]  And so they're not going to go. It really has spoiled the party for them.
[40:08.400 --> 40:11.200]  Denmark is saying that something has rotten in the U.S.
[40:11.920 --> 40:17.840]  That's a turn the tables thing here. But Davos has also disinvited Iran. Of course,
[40:17.840 --> 40:24.320]  Russia is not going to be there as well. Iran has been disinvited because of their ice-like
[40:24.960 --> 40:30.560]  repression of people in that police state. But the EU will still push censorship,
[40:31.360 --> 40:36.000]  as they always do. And that's going to be the top of the list. You can count on that.
[40:36.000 --> 40:38.960]  Well, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to take a look
[40:39.520 --> 40:52.960]  at Donald Trump's peace board. And what is that really about? We'll be right back.
[43:06.640 --> 43:20.960]  Oh,
[43:23.440 --> 43:29.440]  defending the American dream. You're listening to the David Knight show.
[43:30.640 --> 43:34.320]  What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here. Do you like playing casino style games like

[44:31.760 --> 44:37.600]  Well, last night, Trump threw a unhinged tariff tantrum as well as the other things that were
[44:37.600 --> 44:44.880]  said over the prospect of France refusing to join his new board of peace. Even as he was saying,
[44:44.880 --> 44:51.120]  he was bored of peace. This should be digging a very deep hole for him at the Supreme Court.
[44:51.840 --> 44:59.280]  There was never a legal argument that would allow him to do this. So he fell back on a pragmatic
[44:59.280 --> 45:04.800]  argument. But just take a look at this. Here's a situation where you've got a guy who says to
[45:04.800 --> 45:11.760]  a foreign country, well, you don't give me the peace prize. You don't want to join my club. Well,
[45:11.760 --> 45:18.480]  I'll club you with a 200% tariff, just like that. I mean, do we really want to have one person
[45:19.120 --> 45:22.400]  have that kind of authority? I hope that the Supreme Court shuts this down
[45:23.040 --> 45:27.280]  because the Congress isn't going to touch anything that Trump did with a 10 foot pole.
[45:28.160 --> 45:34.480]  They're scared to death of him. And so again, this is on 200% tariff on French wine and champagne.
[45:35.360 --> 45:42.320]  And this is blowing both ways. Trump is an agent of chaos and destruction. He's destroying
[45:42.320 --> 45:47.120]  America's friendship and good relations with Canada and the UK. We're getting
[45:47.120 --> 45:53.040]  booed at sporting events because of Trump and because of these tariffs and his comments,
[45:53.680 --> 45:57.840]  his arrogant comments about making Canada the 51st state nonsense like that.
[45:58.400 --> 46:01.680]  And so there's boycotts against American products, like I said before, the Kentucky
[46:01.680 --> 46:08.640]  bourbon industry shutting down. So it's destructive on both sides. And again, people can't
[46:09.600 --> 46:12.160]  make business plans because they don't know what their costs are going to be.
[46:12.880 --> 46:17.360]  Not only is he changing it, you know, on again, off again, on again, off again,
[46:18.160 --> 46:22.080]  but it's massive amounts that he's putting on there. And these amounts are going to be paid
[46:22.880 --> 46:28.080]  by American citizens, or it's going to be paid in the fact that you can't get what it is that
[46:28.080 --> 46:33.040]  you want to buy. I don't want to buy French wine or champagne, but that's just an example.
[46:33.600 --> 46:39.040]  So Trump has threatened to slap a hefty 200% tariff on French wine and champagne.
[46:39.040 --> 46:46.720]  France refuses his invitation to join his newly formed Board of Peace. The board ostensibly is
[46:46.720 --> 46:52.400]  created to supervise the reconstruction of Gaza, but it seems to have a much wider remit of
[46:52.400 --> 46:59.520]  maintaining global order with Trump at the head, of course, and paying him money, of course.
[47:00.720 --> 47:06.720]  And so a source close to Macron said that France does not intend to answer favorably to the
[47:06.800 --> 47:12.320]  invitation, pointing out that the board's charter, quote, goes beyond the sole framework of Gaza.
[47:12.960 --> 47:18.400]  It'll cost a billion dollars to join. It's chaired by Trump. It's been attacked by critics as an
[47:18.400 --> 47:25.520]  attempt by the US president to create a rival UN with himself as the head. That's what I said at
[47:25.520 --> 47:32.400]  the top of the show. I said, you know, he looks at these evil organizations, the UN, the Federal
[47:32.400 --> 47:39.040]  Reserve, and rather than destroying it, this Boromir decides that he's going to be the one
[47:39.040 --> 47:44.160]  who's going to run it. And of course, I don't even think that he has initially has good intentions.
[47:44.160 --> 47:50.640]  I think he just sees power. He doesn't care if it's evil and he wants to seize that power.
[47:50.640 --> 47:56.320]  And so he wants to be the Federal Reserve Board, one man board. He wants to be a one man UN. He's
[47:56.320 --> 48:04.240]  doing this everywhere. And so of course you would pay him to be in this club. So the threat of a
[48:04.240 --> 48:09.600]  French wine tariff is just one facet of a larger diplomatic disagreement that's revolving around
[48:09.600 --> 48:16.880]  Greenland. And again, as the story goes, the joke goes, what's the difference between Greenland
[48:16.880 --> 48:22.880]  and Trump? Greenland isn't for sale. With Trump, you know, pay a billion dollars and you can be on
[48:22.880 --> 48:29.360]  his peace board, right? Whoop-de-doo. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of up to 25% on
[48:29.360 --> 48:34.880]  eight European countries, including Denmark, France, Germany, and the UK, unless Greenland
[48:34.880 --> 48:44.160]  is ceded to US control. And again, we look at what Biden did. Biden destroyed the credibility
[48:44.160 --> 48:48.640]  of the US dollar and the reserve system that we had. That was our secret weapon.
[48:49.360 --> 48:54.720]  That allowed us to create unlimited amounts. It was like a credit card that you never have to pay
[48:54.720 --> 49:01.600]  off, a credit card that has no limit. I mean, we're up to $39 trillion now, thanks to Trump
[49:01.600 --> 49:10.160]  adding $2 trillion just last year to the deficit. And so Biden kicked it off and Trump is continuing
[49:10.160 --> 49:16.160]  and extending all of this stuff. It's a tag team match. You know, Trump started the spending
[49:16.160 --> 49:23.280]  at a new level during the 2020 nonsense. They handed off the pandemic fraud.
[49:23.280 --> 49:30.240]  They handed off the bioweapon shot to each other. And they continue the work of the other guy.
[49:30.800 --> 49:34.880]  And everybody is so caught up in this partisanship stuff that they say, yeah,
[49:34.880 --> 49:38.240]  but what about that guy? What about that guy? You know, don't criticize my guy. Look what the
[49:38.240 --> 49:45.200]  other guy did. And so Biden then also starts to destroy the dollar system as a reserve system
[49:45.760 --> 49:52.880]  and Trump is picking up on that. He is isolating us from everybody. Look, I'm fine with isolation
[49:52.880 --> 49:56.080]  and I'm fine with some of these other policies, but it's the way that he's doing it,
[49:56.800 --> 50:00.480]  which is so destructive of what he said he wants to preserve and build,
[50:01.040 --> 50:06.720]  including American manufacturing and American businesses. It's very destructive. And so again,
[50:06.720 --> 50:11.280]  whether you're talking about whatever issue you're talking about, even if Trump, even if you agree
[50:11.280 --> 50:16.560]  with Trump on the stated end, you have to look at the way that he's going about it and how
[50:16.560 --> 50:23.200]  destructive it is and how dangerous the presidents that he's setting truly are. And so that is the
[50:23.200 --> 50:29.760]  case with the tariffs and the unilateral tariffs as well. But let's talk a little bit about this
[50:29.760 --> 50:36.080]  so-called board of peace. As Brian Shalhavi points out, all eyes now turn to Palestine as Trump
[50:36.080 --> 50:44.480]  unveils his board of peace for Gaza, which could replace the UN. And again, he's looking more and
[50:44.480 --> 50:52.960]  more to a lot of people like the Antichrist. Maybe he wins that award as most likely to be Antichrist.
[50:52.960 --> 50:59.120]  He certainly is checking all the boxes, you know, the man of sin. Anyway, this new board
[50:59.120 --> 51:04.720]  will include billionaires and heads of state. Interestingly, no head of state from Israel has
[51:04.720 --> 51:09.760]  been named yet and only a billionaire Jew who lives in Cyprus. Two countries that allegedly
[51:09.760 --> 51:14.400]  received invitations to join the board are countries that Israel has now publicly protested
[51:14.400 --> 51:19.840]  against, Turkey and Qatar. Israel is complaining that they were not consulted on the makeup of the
[51:19.840 --> 51:25.920]  board, but he's got bigger fish to fry. I mean, this is, it may be dead on arrival because of
[51:25.920 --> 51:31.360]  opposition from Israel, but Gaza is just the initiation of what he wants to do with this
[51:31.360 --> 51:36.400]  board. Again, that's why France is pulling back on this, because everybody sees that he's trying to
[51:37.120 --> 51:40.640]  cut out the UN and do it on his own, just like he's doing with the Federal Reserve.
[51:42.080 --> 51:49.680]  And so it may not happen because of Israel's pushback against this. Putin was offered a seat
[51:49.680 --> 51:58.560]  on Trump's peace council. I found my thrill on the Blueberry Council. The initiative envisions an
[51:58.560 --> 52:03.600]  international council overseeing reconstruction funding, security agreements, and political
[52:03.600 --> 52:09.520]  coordination in Gaza. Working alongside a Palestinian technocratic administration during
[52:09.520 --> 52:14.480]  a transitional period, the White House has said the body could later be expanded to address
[52:14.480 --> 52:20.080]  other conflicts. The interesting thing is that he doesn't have anybody on the peace board
[52:20.800 --> 52:27.200]  that includes the Palestinian interests. Isn't that a tell? And again, I think this is about
[52:27.200 --> 52:32.400]  something that is far more than that. So if you want to participate, you can do it for three years
[52:32.400 --> 52:37.280]  for free, and then you have to pay a billion dollars to stay in it. It's like one of these
[52:37.280 --> 52:42.720]  enticement offers, you know, try it for free for three years. Speaking to reporters on Monday,
[52:42.720 --> 52:48.320]  Dmitry Peskov, who is the Kremlin spokesperson, said that Putin had been invited to join the
[52:48.320 --> 52:53.040]  body through diplomatic channels. He said, we are studying the details of the proposal we hope to
[52:53.040 --> 52:58.480]  hold contracts with the U.S. side, contacts, I should say, with the U.S. side to clarify
[52:58.480 --> 53:05.840]  all of the nuances. Because again, the devil is in the details, and Trump makes these broad
[53:05.840 --> 53:11.600]  proposals without any details at all. They get added later. A wide range of countries across
[53:11.600 --> 53:19.680]  Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have been invited. Well, Richard Haass, who is no friend
[53:19.680 --> 53:26.720]  of ours, folks, he was a George W. Bush guy, an advisor to him. He was a president of the Council
[53:26.720 --> 53:34.640]  on Foreign Relations from 2003 to 2023. So 20 years, this guy was head of one of the most destructive
[53:34.640 --> 53:42.080]  globalist organizations out there, Richard Haass. And he is apoplectic about this, because he's
[53:42.080 --> 53:47.280]  concerned that it's going to be damaging to the U.N., maybe even replacing the U.N. This is what
[53:47.280 --> 53:53.360]  a lot of people are saying. And so he said, executive membership reportedly is going to
[53:53.360 --> 54:01.040]  include senior U.S. officials, some international figures, people like Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff,
[54:01.040 --> 54:10.240]  Jared Kushner, and other billionaires, because primarily it's like a grift. I wonder if your
[54:10.240 --> 54:16.960]  gold or platinum card gets you admitted for temporary membership. He's always looking for
[54:16.960 --> 54:23.440]  money angle, isn't he? Have you ever seen a situation where green cards are sold for millions
[54:23.440 --> 54:29.680]  of dollars to rich foreigners? I think when you do that, you're not going to get their best people,
[54:29.680 --> 54:37.680]  quite frankly. Trump may love billionaires, and he does. And he loves globalists as well.
[54:38.720 --> 54:44.160]  Makes you kind of wonder if Trump really is a blue collar billionaire as he pretends to be.
[54:44.160 --> 54:50.800]  I never bought that shtick. So anyway, it's kind of a parallel to the U.N., said Richard Haass,
[54:52.160 --> 54:56.800]  and it's not Gaza only. And by the way, the Israelis are unhappy with it because you've
[54:56.800 --> 55:01.440]  got countries like Turkey on it who have an agenda that the Israelis don't like. Netanyahu
[55:01.440 --> 55:07.040]  is disagreeing with this. And then listen to what Richard Haass says, again, president of the Council
[55:07.040 --> 55:12.800]  on Foreign Relations for 20 years. We ought to be paying countries if they're actually helping
[55:12.800 --> 55:17.520]  towards peace. We should be incentivizing them. In other words, you know, forget about that $39
[55:17.520 --> 55:22.800]  trillion in debt that we have on the credit card. We should be paying people to get onto this
[55:22.800 --> 55:27.840]  board of peace if we're going to do that. But he's also concerned because he sees it
[55:28.560 --> 55:35.360]  as a kind of replacement for the U.N. What's up, baby? It's Bretzky. And I'm here to tell

[56:32.320 --> 56:38.880]  Well, there's going to be three centers of power in the new world, says an op-ed piece from RT.
[56:39.760 --> 56:44.560]  African countries are undergoing the most significant geopolitical recalibration
[56:45.120 --> 56:48.640]  of the past century. And what they're pointing out is that this new
[56:50.320 --> 56:55.120]  document laying out US strategy in terms of security terms,
[56:56.080 --> 57:01.360]  is that basically what it's doing is pulling back from Africa. So the take from RT
[57:02.400 --> 57:08.320]  is that Trump is going to pull back from Africa, let China run their Belt and Road Initiative and
[57:08.320 --> 57:15.040]  do the mining and produce all the raw materials that we need and just have them manage it. And
[57:15.040 --> 57:20.640]  we can get the stuff from them. And then with all the different fighting interests in Africa,
[57:21.520 --> 57:28.640]  maybe Russia will be the ones to be the global policeman there in Africa. So that's the RT take
[57:28.640 --> 57:33.200]  on it. What analysts have speculated about for two decades is now codified policy.
[57:34.000 --> 57:41.040]  The post-Cold War epoch of unipolar American hegemony, draped in the language of liberal
[57:41.040 --> 57:47.920]  internationalism and universal values, has been formally terminated. The moral pretense of the
[57:47.920 --> 57:53.600]  West, the insistence that its foreign policy was primarily driven by promotion of democracy
[57:53.600 --> 58:01.040]  and human rights, has been exposed as fiction in the face of stark national interests. In its place,
[58:01.040 --> 58:06.240]  a transactional, tripolar order has been institutionalized. This is defined by the
[58:06.240 --> 58:12.560]  US, China and the Russian Federation. And it can now be called the finalized operational manual
[58:12.560 --> 58:19.440]  for 21st century geopolitics. Contrary to the myth of a globally engaged superpower,
[58:20.160 --> 58:26.720]  the US has executed a deliberate and historic retrenchment. Its latest national security
[58:26.720 --> 58:33.600]  strategy paper is a document of strategic contraction. The primary focus is unambiguous,
[58:33.600 --> 58:40.720]  the consolidation of the American hemisphere. The fortress America doctrine primary prioritizes
[58:40.720 --> 58:46.160]  economic and security integration from Canada to Chile. That was actually from Greenland to
[58:46.160 --> 58:53.040]  Galapagos, really. Running the Western hemisphere, or turning it rather, into an impregnable zone
[58:53.040 --> 58:59.120]  of influence. Secondary interests are reserved exclusively for the Anglosphere, the UK, Canada,
[58:59.120 --> 59:05.520]  Australia, New Zealand. Culturally and institutionally aligned institutions that serve as force
[59:05.520 --> 59:14.560]  multipliers. And again, those four countries along with the US are the five I's. They put it out
[59:14.560 --> 59:20.560]  there as E-Y-E-S, but it's actually the five I's in terms of intelligence organizations.
[59:21.680 --> 59:25.120]  And they're the ones who really run their countries for the most part. The critical
[59:25.120 --> 59:32.240]  passage for Africa and Asia is what the document omits. A strategy for direct engagement. The US
[59:32.240 --> 59:38.480]  is officially disengaged from strategic competition on the African continent. It will close remaining
[59:38.480 --> 59:45.360]  bases, cease military and designed aid that is designed for influence, end its democracy
[59:45.360 --> 59:51.760]  and governance programs. Washington's approach is now one of efficient outsourcing. Its insatiable
[59:51.760 --> 59:57.120]  need for cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements, the lifeblood of its digital and green economies
[59:57.120 --> 01:00:01.760]  will no longer be sourced through messy dealings with individual African states. Instead,
[01:00:02.240 --> 01:00:08.160]  the US will procure these resources via bulk state-to-state transactions with the continent's
[01:00:08.160 --> 01:00:14.480]  recognized managers, China and Russia. Now, this is coming from Russia. I don't see that happening,
[01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:21.360]  quite frankly, regardless of what this document says. How, as one person put it, are you going
[01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:27.280]  to fight a war with your adversary, China, using materials that you have to buy from China?
[01:00:27.680 --> 01:00:34.320]  It's just that simple. That's not going to happen. And so they can talk about this. But really,
[01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:41.200]  the Belt and Road Initiative, but also BRICS, it's all about a resetting of the financial system.
[01:00:41.200 --> 01:00:49.040]  As a matter of fact, you had Mark Carney, who is the Bankster globalist. This guy, even though
[01:00:49.040 --> 01:00:55.600]  he's Canadian, he has been head of both the Canadian Central Bank and the UK Central Bank
[01:00:55.600 --> 01:01:01.120]  before they made him the prime minister. And he was asked what he meant when he talked about a
[01:01:01.120 --> 01:01:06.400]  new world order the other day. And this is what Mark Carney had to say. Prime Minister Brian Platt
[01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:11.680]  with Bloomberg News. Yesterday, when you met with Premier Li, one of the things you said in the
[01:01:11.680 --> 01:01:17.360]  public remarks was this partnership, Canada and China, this new partnership sets us up well for
[01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:22.480]  the new world order. What did you mean by that? What is the new world order? Well, this is it's
[01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:26.320]  a great question, Brian, because I think the world is still determining what that
[01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:32.160]  order is going to be. And let's be clear what we're talking about first and foremost, which is
[01:01:32.160 --> 01:01:39.840]  what is going to govern global trade? What is the role of the WTO going to be? How important are
[01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:45.920]  bilateral deals such as the one we're developing? Plural lateral deals, if I can use that term,
[01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:52.480]  transpacific partnership, potential linkages between transpacific partnership
[01:01:53.520 --> 01:01:59.840]  and the EU. Where is financial regulation, payment system regulation going to fit into that?
[01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:10.640]  All of these aspects, the architecture, the multilateral system that has been developing these
[01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:19.360]  is being eroded, to use a polite term, undercut, use another term. So the question is, what gets
[01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:25.200]  built in that place? How much of a patchwork is it? How much is it just on a bilateral basis?
[01:02:25.200 --> 01:02:30.720]  Or where do like-minded countries in certain areas? So like-minded countries, just to be clear,
[01:02:30.720 --> 01:02:39.600]  doesn't mean you agree on everything. So aspects, for example, on digital trade or agricultural trade.
[01:02:40.640 --> 01:02:46.720]  Climate finance as another area. Climate finance, yeah, the green MacGuffin that's there.
[01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:50.960]  You understand what is happening? You notice how he's still talking about the transpacific partnership?
[01:02:52.160 --> 01:02:57.520]  Thought we put that to bed? Well, no, actually. You've got a couple of different competing
[01:02:57.520 --> 01:03:04.080]  visions. Both of these visions really are about global governance. But there are competing visions,
[01:03:04.080 --> 01:03:09.360]  versions of this. Just like you got the Republicans and Democrats, they both want to
[01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:14.240]  take us to a very bad place, but they have competing ways that they want to do that.
[01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:18.320]  And so when you look at the transpacific partnership and the transatlantic partnership,
[01:03:18.320 --> 01:03:22.400]  as I said before, the way these guys have always operated, that's one of the reasons why they call
[01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:32.080]  it the World Economic Forum. These leftover Nazis from World War II, you know, people like Prince
[01:03:32.080 --> 01:03:38.960]  Bernhardt and people like the British equivalent. What was the guy's name? Peter. I can't remember
[01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:43.520]  his name now. Anyway, the two of them who started the World Economic Forum did it on the 10th
[01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:51.600]  anniversary of the last victory of the Nazis with Peter Carrington, I think it was. Lord Carrington,
[01:03:51.600 --> 01:03:57.280]  I think was the guy's name. Anyway, there was concern there. If you look at A Bridge Too Far,
[01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:03.440]  Operation Market Garden, there was concern that those plans were betrayed to the Nazis. And then,
[01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.160]  of course, Peter Carrington by Prince Bernhardt. Peter Carrington had a role in terms of holding
[01:04:08.160 --> 01:04:13.280]  back reinforcements to make sure that the people on the bridge didn't get any reinforcements.
[01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:19.040]  And then, interestingly enough, the two of them come together to have the very first meeting of
[01:04:19.040 --> 01:04:24.240]  the World Economic Forum at the Bilderberg Hotel, not the World Economic Forum, but they had their
[01:04:24.240 --> 01:04:30.240]  first Bilderberg conference at the hotel named Bilderberg. And again, it is focused on economics.
[01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:34.800]  You know, the Germans try to take over the world twice by force. Then they're going to do it by
[01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:41.040]  economics. And it was on the 10th anniversary of that last victory by the Nazis, and both the
[01:04:41.040 --> 01:04:48.560]  founders had a big role to play in making sure that the Nazis won that. And so they're trying
[01:04:48.560 --> 01:04:54.160]  to do it with economic aspects. How do they do that economically? Well, first you create a free
[01:04:54.160 --> 01:05:00.640]  trade zone. Then you have a unified currency like the euro. And then what you do is you unify Europe.
[01:05:01.600 --> 01:05:07.120]  And then you do the same type of thing in three other places. This is a trilateral commission,
[01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:13.280]  a vision of Zbigniew Brzezinski, which they liked so much that they made him the effective
[01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:19.920]  president for Jimmy Carter, just like Kissinger Bilderberger was the effective president for
[01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:25.360]  Richard Nixon, especially on global economics and trade issues and things like that. So
[01:05:26.080 --> 01:05:34.640]  these guys envisioned a system where we have a unification of US and Pacific trading partnership
[01:05:34.640 --> 01:05:42.240]  with China. No restrictions on trade there. So we can start to unify economically. And then
[01:05:42.240 --> 01:05:48.640]  same thing with the transatlantic. So you wind up with these two unified trading spheres. And of
[01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:53.680]  course, it's like wings of a butterfly. And guess what the body was? The body was the United States
[01:05:53.680 --> 01:05:58.400]  that would join both the transatlantic and the trans-pacific. We could gradually bring
[01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:04.880]  these free trade zones together into a global governance. Competing against that is the
[01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:10.000]  technocratic vision of Fortress America. First, we're going to have a very strong America,
[01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:15.120]  and it's going to be not necessarily independent, but it will get really strong and then eventually
[01:06:15.120 --> 01:06:20.640]  take over the others, right? And it's always these three different spheres. Isn't that interesting?
[01:06:20.640 --> 01:06:27.440]  That's how Orwell saw it as well. You've got to have three there. Otherwise, that's the number
[01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:34.560]  that seems to work really well in terms of the competition. And so this is where they're headed
[01:06:34.560 --> 01:06:38.320]  with this. And when you look at what BRICS is doing, so there's a lot of different things that
[01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:44.320]  are happening with it. You're going to have something of a clash between the technocrats
[01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:49.520]  who want a tech-nate here of the Western Hemisphere and the globalists who have been
[01:06:49.520 --> 01:06:56.480]  trying to achieve global governance by having these trade zones that are then united, gradually
[01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:02.800]  consolidated. And so they both want to take us to the same place, quite frankly. And when you look
[01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:11.040]  at how they want to control things, the Americans have got their stablecoin way that they want to
[01:07:11.040 --> 01:07:15.760]  control everything that we do and lock it down in the same way that the Europeans have their
[01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:22.640]  CBDC. And of course, they're looking at how they can unify their digital currencies to make sure
[01:07:22.640 --> 01:07:29.520]  they have a global currency in that. That's the approach from the BRICS members. None of them have
[01:07:29.520 --> 01:07:35.760]  fully launched a retail CBDC, but all five core members are running pilot programs. And India's
[01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:44.000]  eRUPI has reached about 7 million retail users since they launched it in 2022. China is rapidly
[01:07:44.080 --> 01:07:50.080]  expanding their digital yuan. Past attempts, however, to when they look at this and they say,
[01:07:50.080 --> 01:07:54.560]  we want to have the BRICS and we want to have economic unification. Again, you can have a trade
[01:07:54.560 --> 01:08:01.600]  zone. Whether it's slots or live dealers, SpinQuest.com has the fun and action you're looking for

[01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:03.040]  a currency you're going to use. What's the money going to be? And so the problem that they had with
[01:09:03.040 --> 01:09:10.880]  bricks, especially after Biden escalated this with the sanctions against Russia, Russia started
[01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:19.040]  trading locally and local currencies between Russia and India. The problem is that they ran
[01:09:19.040 --> 01:09:26.640]  into the barter problem on a geopolitical scale, on a global scale, an international scale.
[01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:34.640]  Russia started accumulating large balances of India's paper currency, the rupee, and they
[01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:40.320]  couldn't do anything with it. It was difficult to deploy. And so now this is, you know, this goes
[01:09:40.320 --> 01:09:45.360]  back to why money was invented in the first place, right? Because you've got a barter situation with
[01:09:45.360 --> 01:09:50.080]  somebody, you know, you have somebody comes out and fixes your air conditioning. Maybe there's
[01:09:50.080 --> 01:09:56.160]  not really anything that you've got to give that person in terms of a service. So how do you pay
[01:09:56.160 --> 01:10:01.040]  them? Well, that's why we got money, right? And what is the real money that has always been there?
[01:10:01.040 --> 01:10:06.080]  It's not these paper currencies that are fictional creations of central banks. The real money is
[01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:11.840]  gold and silver. And that is why the rush is on for real money. You know, they're trying to
[01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:17.040]  restructure all these different financial systems. And the financial stuff is at the heart of the
[01:10:17.040 --> 01:10:21.680]  global governance. It's at the heart of the wars as well. You know, all the wars are banker wars.
[01:10:22.400 --> 01:10:27.200]  So interest in CBDs has cooled globally as stable coins have gained popularity,
[01:10:27.200 --> 01:10:35.680]  even though India is continuing to promote their CBDC. But they're worried that the stable coins
[01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:44.400]  is going to be a competition for them. And when you go back and look at the strategic alliances
[01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:49.920]  there, there's questions from many people, but maybe what Trump is trying to do with Venezuela
[01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:57.760]  is trying to prop up this broken dollar with oil again, which is what Kissinger did
[01:10:58.400 --> 01:11:03.760]  with the petrodollar. The problem is things have changed and you can't just repeat that.
[01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:10.000]  Even though Trump wants to be a one man federal reserve, the world is caught on to the fraud.
[01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:19.600]  When you look at just the basic level, go back to 1971 when they started working on the petrodollar.
[01:11:20.160 --> 01:11:30.320]  We had a deficit at that point in time of $250 billion. Where are we now? $39 trillion.
[01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:40.560]  So we are about 100 times where we were, actually a little bit more than that.
[01:11:41.200 --> 01:11:47.920]  And you might say, well, part of that is because the dollar has declined 99% in value in terms of
[01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:57.600]  purchasing price since 1971. And that is against gold. And that may be a part of it. But still,
[01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.720]  the fact that they've weaponized the dollar, first beginning with Biden in 2022,
[01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:08.800]  and now by Trump adding on to this and continuing the Biden policies that are so destructive to
[01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:17.760]  America, nobody wants to have the US Treasury bonds anymore. That used to be the gold standard
[01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:20.880]  according to the Bank of International Settlement. And even they are saying, well,
[01:12:21.440 --> 01:12:27.600]  no, actually we want gold at this point. Pace of all this move towards gold has tripled
[01:12:28.400 --> 01:12:34.720]  since the Biden sanctions of 2022. And again, what we're starting to see when you look at
[01:12:35.360 --> 01:12:42.240]  petrodollars, because of Biden's actions, you had Russia selling oil for gold.
[01:12:43.200 --> 01:12:51.200]  So you got the currency completely out of it. And if you have oil being sold for gold,
[01:12:51.200 --> 01:12:56.960]  that is the most dangerous thing for the American currency. Central banks now hold more gold than
[01:12:56.960 --> 01:13:03.440]  they do US Treasury bills. Even the Bank of International Settlement confesses that gold
[01:13:03.440 --> 01:13:10.160]  is the superior strategic reserve asset rather than the once sacred US 10-year Treasury bond.
[01:13:11.120 --> 01:13:16.480]  And so the American government, as they point out in this article from Zero Hedge, has gone
[01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:23.760]  from nervous to violent. Dollar-backed oil is essential to its paper currency's survival.
[01:13:24.640 --> 01:13:30.880]  Just look at people like Gaddafi and Hussein, who each tried to sell oil outside of the dollar.
[01:13:32.320 --> 01:13:37.840]  They didn't survive personally. And of course, Gaddafi, we saw leaked emails by
[01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:43.040]  WikiLeaks, leaked emails, where Hillary Clinton was talking about how
[01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:49.920]  Omar Gaddafi was trying to set up a financial system backed by gold that was outside of the
[01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:54.800]  Western financial system. That can't be allowed to happen. So they came, they saw, he died.
[01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:59.920]  As Kissinger noted decades ago, commanding a world reserve currency
[01:14:01.120 --> 01:14:06.960]  equally requires having the world's strongest military. In short, monetary and military might
[01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:13.360]  go hand in hand to protect US interests. And so that's why these two things are,
[01:14:14.160 --> 01:14:20.400]  when we look at it, the shaky dollar is also going to be a shaky US military. We run on
[01:14:21.120 --> 01:14:28.480]  debt. We run on very, very expensive weapons, concentrated power and concentrated weapons,
[01:14:28.480 --> 01:14:35.040]  and that may not work out too well in a war. Although China took only 4% of Venezuelan oil
[01:14:35.040 --> 01:14:41.280]  and Yuan purchases from the Belt and Road Initiative, 95% of Iran's oil goes to China
[01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:50.000]  and is sold in Yuan, not in dollars. And so as he points out, is it any coincidence that regime
[01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:58.160]  change in Iran is almost a daily headline, deadly headline as well. This is a great quote from
[01:14:58.160 --> 01:15:03.040]  Ernest Hemingway. Remember, he was the one who in his book, The Sun Also Rises,
[01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:07.920]  he had a very wealthy individual who had gone bankrupt. And somebody said, hey,
[01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:11.120]  with that much money, how in the world did you ever go bankrupt? He said, well,
[01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:16.640]  gradually, then suddenly, right? Well, there's another quote from Ernest Hemingway, which is,
[01:15:17.200 --> 01:15:25.200]  perhaps explains a lot of what Trump is doing. He says, the first panacea for a mismanaged nation
[01:15:25.920 --> 01:15:33.360]  is inflation of the currency. And the second panacea is war. He said, both of these bring
[01:15:33.360 --> 01:15:42.400]  a temporary prosperity, but both of them bring a permanent ruin. Both are the refuge of political
[01:15:42.400 --> 01:15:49.920]  and economic opportunists. That's the Trump policy in a nutshell, folks. Ernest Hemingway
[01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:57.920]  human nature does not change. None of this stuff changes. And so again, as you look at the
[01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:04.720]  strategic issues here, it's really more about money than anything else. And imagine, says one
[01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:09.680]  headline here, imagine ramping up a wartime economy where most of the stuff that you shoot
[01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:15.360]  at the enemy comes from the enemy. That's why I don't think we're going to get out of Africa.
[01:16:16.320 --> 01:16:22.560]  Not that's not going to happen. But again, what do you do about this? I say all this because
[01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:29.520]  I firmly believe that unfortunately, we haven't seen the worst of the chaos yet.
[01:16:30.080 --> 01:16:37.200]  That's really going to accelerate. And I think the accelerating chaos is going to be a squeeze
[01:16:37.200 --> 01:16:45.120]  like a small hose for gold and silver. Everybody's going to be rushing for it because it's
[01:16:45.120 --> 01:16:51.440]  real. It gives them credibility. Everybody's trying to design a new financial order, a new system.
[01:16:52.160 --> 01:16:59.280]  And that is the fundamental issue. The Americans may pretend that gold is not as important as it
[01:16:59.280 --> 01:17:05.920]  really is, but they're just pretending and they're just lying to you. We're going to take a quick
[01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:09.360]  break, folks, and we're going to be right back. And when we come back, we're going to take a look
[01:17:09.360 --> 01:17:13.360]  at some of the news here. There's an amazing story about
[01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:22.080]  one individual talking about one doctor who has been persecuted for pushing back against the
[01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:29.840]  vaccines. Unbelievable. She said, for all the patients that I treated during this COVID fake
[01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:35.200]  pandemic, if instead of giving them ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine or something like that,
[01:17:35.200 --> 01:17:40.400]  if I'd given them a shot, the hospital that I was working at was charging so much for these shots,
[01:17:41.120 --> 01:17:48.400]  I would have made $35 million. She walked away from that and has fought against these Trump shots
[01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:56.080]  because this whole thing was run for the money. It was run by the money. The root of all evil,
[01:17:56.080 --> 01:18:03.680]  the love of money. And so again, it was Trump who was bribing and blackmailing governors, hospitals,
[01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:06.880]  doctors to do all this stuff to us. We'll be right back.
[01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:44.880]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.

[01:20:47.360 --> 01:20:52.560]  Well, I'm sure we'll be hearing more from Ursula von der Leyen or as I call her Ursula fond of
[01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:57.920]  lying at Davos, but she's already been talking about free speech. That seems to be a real
[01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:03.840]  hobby horse of hers. She beats that to death. Censorship. And she's at it again. I played the
[01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:08.080]  clip for you earlier from an earlier Davos meeting where she was talking addressing
[01:21:08.080 --> 01:21:14.560]  Herr Klaus. Now she's saying free speech is a virus and we need a vaccine. She's just talking
[01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:20.240]  about censorship. You know, it's interesting. We just got some of our home movies for many years
[01:21:20.240 --> 01:21:26.560]  we've had on tapes. I've always planned on doing it myself, but now my VCRs don't work anymore. So
[01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:32.240]  I've got to farm this stuff out. So we just got some of our home movies transferred. And
[01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:38.720]  I was always looking for this tape that I made in the British Children's Museum.
[01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:45.280]  As the boys were playing and letting off steam, they had all the kids as they were playing,
[01:21:45.280 --> 01:21:51.040]  they had a TV that was just running on a loop. This whole idea of the Gaia theory
[01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:56.960]  that Mother Earth is some kind of a sentient being. And guess what the virus is in that
[01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:03.200]  MacGuffin? People. The people have to be controlled. The people have to be reduced.
[01:22:03.200 --> 01:22:08.160]  You have to reduce the population. I recorded that and I said, I'm going to get that transferred one
[01:22:08.160 --> 01:22:14.800]  day and I'm going to play that on the air. And unfortunately, when I got the thing in, it was so
[01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:18.000]  noisy because all the kids were yelling and screaming in the background as they're playing,
[01:22:18.320 --> 01:22:22.320]  this thing's going on. That even though you could hear it very clearly when you're there,
[01:22:22.320 --> 01:22:26.720]  you know how that is when you got an audio tape. It kind of all mixes together and you can't hear
[01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:33.200]  it that well. Well, Lance has identified a piece of AI software. We'll see how it works.
[01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:39.840]  They can go through and filter out all the walla walla that's in the background and give you the,
[01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:44.640]  because this happens frequently with tapes that we have. A lot of times you'll have a situation
[01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:49.440]  where somebody in political context, especially if it's a hot mic, they're saying something,
[01:22:49.440 --> 01:22:54.000]  but there's all kinds of noise and clatter that is making it very hard to hear what the person
[01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:59.120]  is hearing. So we're going to see if that AI is any good. And if it is, I'll play that for you.
[01:22:59.120 --> 01:23:04.160]  But yeah, they're constantly referring to the things that they don't like as viruses.
[01:23:05.200 --> 01:23:10.960]  And the reality is that these people are a cancer. These people really are cancer.
[01:23:10.960 --> 01:23:19.600]  You know, government is just like virology. It is a lie. Just like virology, government is a
[01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:30.320]  MacGuffin that is there to control people. And so in 2024, Ursula Fonda of lying is so unpopular.
[01:23:30.320 --> 01:23:38.080]  She was made president of the European commission as expose a news culture, the ultra girl boss,
[01:23:38.080 --> 01:23:42.960]  extraordinaire. She came out swinging against free speech and a white knuckle speech in which
[01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:49.280]  she likened malign information to a virus that society must be inoculated against by the state,
[01:23:50.240 --> 01:23:57.120]  obviously through the vaccine of pre-bunking, which is just a euphemism for censorship.
[01:23:58.240 --> 01:24:05.440]  She was so unpopular in her own country of Germany that Germany was the only EU member to abstain
[01:24:05.440 --> 01:24:14.080]  from voting for her in 2019. And so as technology is evolving, we need to build
[01:24:14.080 --> 01:24:20.480]  up societal immunity, she said, around information manipulation. Research has shown that pre-bunking
[01:24:20.480 --> 01:24:25.680]  is more successful than debunking. And again, they have been working on this for a very long time.
[01:24:26.400 --> 01:24:31.760]  The coalition for content providence and authentication to make sure they identify
[01:24:31.760 --> 01:24:36.240]  and rank people. And she's not the only one. We just had that Israeli billionaire Shlomo
[01:24:37.200 --> 01:24:43.280]  who said, we need to rank people, come up with some kind of a social credit scoring system.
[01:24:43.280 --> 01:24:48.640]  We rank people. And if you are lowly ranked, you don't get to post anything on the internet.
[01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:52.000]  We'll intercept it and stop it beforehand. And of course, you've got other tech companies
[01:24:52.000 --> 01:25:00.320]  that have been working to make that happen. Intel, ARM, as well as Adobe. And so the
[01:25:00.400 --> 01:25:05.920]  CPU manufacturers, the software manufacturers working with mainstream media to shut people down.
[01:25:07.120 --> 01:25:13.200]  And so she said, pre-bunking is the same approach because disinformation relies on
[01:25:13.200 --> 01:25:19.600]  people passing it on to others. It's essential that people know what malign information influence is
[01:25:20.160 --> 01:25:23.360]  and what the techniques are that are behind it. Well, these are the people that,
[01:25:23.440 --> 01:25:30.160]  in spite of 45 years of maintaining a house in the UK, they called it a cold house,
[01:25:30.160 --> 01:25:36.240]  as you heard the Bailey's talking about it, Mark and Sam. They wanted to see how colds are
[01:25:36.240 --> 01:25:43.680]  transmitted. And somehow they were never able to get it to be transmitted as hard as they tried.
[01:25:44.320 --> 01:25:51.200]  And so when we look at the story that I said before, we took the break, a doctor was punished
[01:25:51.200 --> 01:25:58.000]  for questioning COVID vaccines. She said she could have made up to $35 million by giving shots.
[01:25:59.280 --> 01:26:06.800]  And this is Mary Talley Bowden, who you've seen her very vocally opposing these agendas.
[01:26:06.800 --> 01:26:14.720]  She was working at a hospital in Houston, Houston Methodist. And she said her admitting privileges
[01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:20.320]  were suspended because she questioned the Trump shots. They call this the COVID-19 vaccine
[01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:25.840]  throughout because just the news is not going to give Trump what he desperately craves.
[01:26:26.400 --> 01:26:33.040]  And that is credit for this bioweapon. Anyway, she was prescribing ivermectin to COVID patients.
[01:26:33.040 --> 01:26:38.960]  And she subsequently resigned from and unsuccessfully sued Houston Methodist for
[01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:44.080]  defamation. She said she could have made tens of millions of dollars. And here's the economics of
[01:26:44.080 --> 01:26:50.400]  it. She showed a spreadsheet that she took from Houston Methodist's public list of charges for
[01:26:50.400 --> 01:26:57.200]  various treatments. They start at $1,000 for the Pfizer vaccine for five to 11-year-olds.
[01:26:58.080 --> 01:27:06.640]  And then it tops out at $6,000 for the 2023-2024 recombinant adjuvinated vaccine,
[01:27:07.280 --> 01:27:16.240]  targeting Omicron, possibly referring to Novavax. She said, if I had vaccinated the 6,000 patients
[01:27:16.240 --> 01:27:25.200]  that I treated for COVID, I could have made $35.5 million. Because again, you know, they are charging
[01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:34.400]  nearly $6,000 per shot there. And so she said, and then amazing, you know, no wonder they do that.
[01:27:34.400 --> 01:27:41.360]  This has all been about the money. And it's amazing how naive the MAGA people are. They are
[01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:47.520]  so hardcore, tied to a political party, tied to a particular politician, Trump.
[01:27:48.480 --> 01:27:54.000]  And they have absolutely no idea how politics works. They have absolutely no idea how the
[01:27:54.000 --> 01:28:00.240]  government continually gets around the 10th Amendment by bribery and by blackmail. So she
[01:28:00.240 --> 01:28:05.440]  said, this is a hospital that charges $5 for aspirin, which again is a single aspirin,
[01:28:05.440 --> 01:28:11.360]  which again is outrageous. They'll give you a discount. They'll charge you $2.50 if you're
[01:28:11.360 --> 01:28:18.160]  paying cash. What a deal. So she said, she published this. And so you had a lot of people
[01:28:18.160 --> 01:28:22.320]  who are apologists for the crimes of the medical industry and pharmaceutical industry. They came
[01:28:22.320 --> 01:28:28.400]  back and said, well, these are just starting points for negotiation. Really? Is that the
[01:28:28.400 --> 01:28:36.720]  way this works out? That's not true at all, quite frankly. This is not the price that anybody pays.
[01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:45.680]  It's just a starting point for negotiating with insurers. Again, you have the Trump administration
[01:28:46.400 --> 01:28:55.040]  version 1.0 during 2020 was paying these hospitals $13,000 to point a finger at somebody and say,
[01:28:55.040 --> 01:28:59.840]  they've got COVID. I know that's not a cold, that's not flu, that's COVID. Okay, $13,000.
[01:29:01.040 --> 01:29:08.640]  And now you get a 20% bonus on everything that you do for them in the hospital, right? And so
[01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:14.240]  now that aspirin that was $5, you get 20% bonus on that. So now it's $6, but most of the things
[01:29:14.240 --> 01:29:19.680]  are far more expensive than that. You put them on a ventilator. We'll give you $39,000 right now.
[01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:25.600]  So if you said they got COVID and you put them on a ventilator, that $50,000 ventilator, you've just
[01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:32.160]  made $52,000. And then you get to charge them on a daily basis until you kill them.
[01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:40.000]  And then they'll give you a 20% bonus on that charge as well. And so this is one of those things
[01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:48.000]  where people didn't realize how much the hospitals were getting paid for these vaccines. But she
[01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:55.920]  said that Houston Methodist was an outlier even for this. Another Houston hospital,
[01:29:55.920 --> 01:30:03.040]  Houston Memorial Hermann, whose website shows that it charged $30 for COVID vaccines.
[01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:12.720]  They charged $6,000 for COVID vaccines. And again, it's not just that. They bribed everybody
[01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:18.400]  everywhere. If they said that your loved one died of COVID and you believe that they killed
[01:30:18.400 --> 01:30:24.000]  them with a ventilator. But if you went along with the COVID diagnosis, they'd give you $9,000 for a
[01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:30.320]  funeral. But if you say they didn't die from COVID, then you don't get the $9,000 for the funeral.
[01:30:31.120 --> 01:30:37.600]  This is what Trump did. This is what this guy owned. And so as we look at this and we look at
[01:30:37.600 --> 01:30:41.920]  the other damage that's being done by Trump here, Americans are the ones paying for tariffs,
[01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:50.080]  says a study. We knew this all along. Americans, not foreigners, are bearing almost the entire cost
[01:30:50.080 --> 01:30:54.720]  of the US tariffs, according to new research that contradicts a key claim from Trump.
[01:30:56.080 --> 01:31:02.160]  Conservatives have always known that you can't tax a business. If you raise corporate taxes,
[01:31:03.120 --> 01:31:09.440]  the corporation will pass it on to you in terms of prices. Because if it's an expensive tax,
[01:31:10.160 --> 01:31:14.480]  they can't absorb it indefinitely. They may delay it. And that's what happens with the tariffs.
[01:31:14.480 --> 01:31:20.560]  They don't immediately pass it on because of competitive pressures. But eventually they have
[01:31:20.560 --> 01:31:26.720]  to pass it on because they cannot absorb those increased costs forever. And so Trump is out there
[01:31:27.360 --> 01:31:33.040]  bragging about this windfall amount of money that's been brought into the American coffers.
[01:31:33.040 --> 01:31:39.040]  And it's really coming out of the pocket of Americans. You like that tax increase? It's
[01:31:39.040 --> 01:31:45.840]  the biggest tax increase that we have ever had. If Trump is right, if he's got $600 billion worth
[01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:53.120]  of tariff tax increases, that's more than FDR did. FDR had the previous record. But if you
[01:31:53.840 --> 01:32:02.320]  adjust for the devaluation of the dollar, FDR's tax increase was $200 billion. Trump is three
[01:32:02.320 --> 01:32:07.600]  times as much as FDR. That's why I say he's a Democrat in every regard. He thinks that he
[01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:12.960]  can tax and spend our way to prosperity. That's always been the hallmark of the Democrat Party.
[01:32:14.480 --> 01:32:19.040]  Trump has repeatedly claimed that his historic tariffs deployed aggressively over the past
[01:32:19.040 --> 01:32:25.040]  years, both a revenue razor and a foreign policy tool, will be paid for by foreigners. Such
[01:32:25.040 --> 01:32:28.800]  assertions help to reinforce the president's bargaining power and encourage foreign governments
[01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:34.320]  to deal with the U.S. However, that is not true. This is a recent study and we always knew that
[01:32:34.320 --> 01:32:41.440]  was not true. But again, in addition to that, there is the damage of the tantrums like we just
[01:32:41.440 --> 01:32:48.960]  saw with France and the 200% tariffs dropped on them overnight. Well, finally, we're seeing
[01:32:50.400 --> 01:32:55.920]  some traction for the understanding of what's going on with the national debt. As I pointed
[01:32:55.920 --> 01:33:00.560]  out yesterday, nobody else was really talking about it. But it's good to see that Drudge picked
[01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:07.040]  up the single article that I saw anywhere talking about the fact that Trump blew up the deficit
[01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:15.840]  by another $2 trillion last year. That was a story that was by just the news. And now Drudge Report
[01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:20.640]  picked that up yesterday as well. Are you in Texas and are you tired of not being able to play

[01:34:18.400 --> 01:34:23.280]  Trump is going to unveil a plan allowing home buyers to use 401k funds for down payments. This
[01:34:23.280 --> 01:34:29.120]  is going to be an announcement at Davos apparently. They need a little bit more time to work out the
[01:34:29.120 --> 01:34:35.120]  details because Trump makes these things up and nobody knows what he's doing. Trump will unveil a
[01:34:35.120 --> 01:34:40.560]  plan at Davos that would allow Americans to withdraw funds from their 401k for a house down
[01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:48.800]  payment. But again, this is moving the deck chairs on the Titanic. The real issue is affordability.
[01:34:48.800 --> 01:34:55.120]  Why are the houses less affordable? David Bonson, who I've interviewed in the past, he's a hedge fund
[01:34:55.120 --> 01:35:02.400]  manager and he is the son of Greg Bonson, a Christian apologist that I have a great deal of
[01:35:02.400 --> 01:35:07.360]  respect for. So I was always interested in talking to David, but what David had to say
[01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:13.280]  in terms of essays about this, he said it's really a supply problem. That's why the price is going up.
[01:35:14.720 --> 01:35:19.840]  So all these measures of saying, well, I'll let you use some of your savings over here for
[01:35:19.840 --> 01:35:27.040]  retirement to buy a house, or we're going to stop Blackstone from being able to buy single-family
[01:35:27.040 --> 01:35:31.920]  homes. Well, I despise Blackstone and BlackRock and don't confuse the two of those together,
[01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:39.040]  but that's not going to really solve anything. They have a very small footprint in the housing
[01:35:39.040 --> 01:35:43.840]  market. As David Bonson has pointed out, they've invested a lot in some of the worst markets,
[01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:48.400]  as a matter of fact. They've made some very bad decisions, but that's not what's driving the price
[01:35:48.400 --> 01:35:55.120]  of houses up. I don't want to see the houses owned only by them, but it's an affordability issue,
[01:35:56.000 --> 01:36:00.720]  and that's where it's going to go if you don't make them affordable. So let's fix the affordability
[01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:06.880]  issue. That's the way to stop it from becoming institutionalized. The single-family house being
[01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:12.880]  institutionalized, being owned by institutions, is to make it more affordable. And as he points
[01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:18.800]  out, it's the supply issue, and that's largely because of restrictions that the federal government
[01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:24.560]  has put in that makes it difficult and expensive to build homes. So get rid of some of those things.
[01:36:24.560 --> 01:36:29.360]  Get to the fundamental problem instead of just playing these financialized games that are out
[01:36:29.360 --> 01:36:33.680]  there, but that's the way that Trump is always going to play this. This is another one of these
[01:36:34.480 --> 01:36:44.800]  phony solutions like inflation. So as the Trump administration people are talking about it,
[01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:50.000]  Hassett is the guy who is the point man on this. He says, well, we're still talking about the
[01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:54.960]  mechanics of it. In other words, Trump has made this announcement. They don't really know what's
[01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:59.920]  going to happen with it. They're still working on the plan, but meanwhile, you should trust the plan,
[01:36:59.920 --> 01:37:05.600]  right? Same thing that Scott Bessent said about some of the credit card stuff. Well, we're still
[01:37:05.600 --> 01:37:09.360]  working on the contours of that. We don't really know what that is. This guy says we're still
[01:37:09.360 --> 01:37:15.600]  working on the mechanics of it. In other words, they don't have any details. There's never a plan.
[01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:20.800]  What we see is Trump always shooting from the hip, or more accurately, shooting from the lip,
[01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:29.040]  and it's always reactionary. It's always vacillating because there is no plan to trust
[01:37:29.040 --> 01:37:35.920]  folks. This garbage stuff, like a 50-year mortgage. On January the 7th, Trump announced that he's
[01:37:35.920 --> 01:37:43.040]  taking steps to bar large investors from purchasing more single-family homes. Again, this is a totally
[01:37:43.040 --> 01:37:49.280]  useless approach to the affordability issue, and the affordability issue is right at the feet
[01:37:50.160 --> 01:37:53.360]  of the federal government. You know, we look at all this stuff with ICE, for example.
[01:37:54.240 --> 01:38:00.240]  I'm really not into, you know, there's the argument from the left that there is no
[01:38:01.040 --> 01:38:06.880]  authority for ICE to exist. Well, that's not true. We have the Constitution, and the federal
[01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:12.400]  government has been delegated the authority to handle the border. The problem is the federal
[01:38:12.400 --> 01:38:18.000]  government didn't do that. The problem is the federal government incentivized illegal immigration
[01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:22.720]  with their illegal welfare state. Again, there's no constitutional authority for a welfare state.
[01:38:23.360 --> 01:38:29.920]  The federal government funded by the National Credit Card. And so what you've had is both
[01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:35.920]  Democrats and Republicans stood by while they created this welfare magnet for illegal foreigners
[01:38:35.920 --> 01:38:41.520]  to come here. And then when it comes to the border, take a look at what Trump did in his first term.
[01:38:42.320 --> 01:38:47.040]  He had a lot of talk about patrolling the border, a lot of talk about a wall and everything, and
[01:38:47.040 --> 01:38:52.000]  immediately when he comes in, immigration basically stopped for about six months.
[01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:58.720]  Then everybody realized he was all talk, no action, a paper tiger. Then we had the caravans.
[01:38:58.720 --> 01:39:04.000]  Remember those? That was a Trump administration phenomenon that happened because he did nothing
[01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:09.040]  at all about it. And then, of course, the Democrats have poured gasoline on the fire
[01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:14.560]  of the open border. They deserve a lot of blame for all this stuff. But again, the Republicans
[01:39:14.560 --> 01:39:20.480]  sat by and did nothing, except they would use the Democrats' desire for an open border,
[01:39:20.480 --> 01:39:25.840]  their desire for a great replacement. They would use that to get people to vote for them
[01:39:26.400 --> 01:39:31.360]  and then do nothing about it. So let me just say that when it comes to immigration control
[01:39:31.360 --> 01:39:38.960]  and when it comes to ICE, don't talk to me about government-created problems like an open border,
[01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:44.960]  and then a government solution that is authoritarian, like ICE, the way they're
[01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:50.640]  being conducted now. And again, that's the way they always do this. They create the problem,
[01:39:50.640 --> 01:39:57.200]  they come up with a solution that is horrible. And that is the way they roll with all this stuff.
[01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:04.720]  So since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, housing costs have rocketed with the median home
[01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:16.080]  prices rising 55% and rents surging more than 35% nationwide. Again, Trump laid the foundation
[01:40:16.080 --> 01:40:25.120]  for this with the so-called pandemic. And he did it for the 2030 globalists that he's going to be
[01:40:25.120 --> 01:40:30.720]  talking to at Davos. He did it right after he talked at Davos, five years ago, six years ago,
[01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:35.440]  right? He comes back from Davos where everybody, oh, look at this, he really told off those
[01:40:35.440 --> 01:40:42.800]  globalists. Then he comes back and he enacts all of their desires as he's talking against them.
[01:40:43.840 --> 01:40:51.360]  What a hypocrite. So again, the typical age of the first time home buyers climbed to 40 years old
[01:40:51.360 --> 01:41:00.800]  in 2025. The highest on record, it was 31 in 2014. And so we see that housing costs have
[01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:07.440]  gone up by 55%, rent costs have gone up by 35% nationwide. Thank you, Trump. That was
[01:41:08.320 --> 01:41:17.760]  a key part of what happened, key outcome of this fake pandemic. So again, trying to stop
[01:41:17.760 --> 01:41:24.000]  institutional investors, it's a tiny part of the market. I don't like these guys, but they,
[01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:27.360]  and they're villains, but they're not the villain in this particular problem.
[01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:34.080]  Speaking of villains, let's take a look at what is happening with Germany here. This is an amazing
[01:41:34.080 --> 01:41:42.240]  story. You had Lexus, you know, which is a Toyota brand, has a remote start, and they did it,
[01:41:42.720 --> 01:41:49.440]  put it on the cars to allow people in Germany, where it's very cold, to start the car up and
[01:41:49.440 --> 01:41:55.760]  de-ice it before they get out there. And so the government saw this happening and said,
[01:41:55.760 --> 01:42:01.280]  you can't do that. You're going to be putting out exhaust and CO2 in the atmosphere. So they
[01:42:01.280 --> 01:42:10.400]  forced Toyota to do an over-the-air update to deactivate remote start. Isn't that amazing?
[01:42:11.200 --> 01:42:14.960]  As somebody pointed out, they can't tell the difference between a building
[01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:19.760]  and a car. They say that you can't heat, you can heat the building, but you can't heat the car.
[01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:28.240]  It's this irrational fear of CO2 and the MacGuffin mandates that they use for this. And
[01:42:28.240 --> 01:42:32.640]  take a look at how cold it is everywhere. Again, we're going to appeal to weather, but
[01:42:32.640 --> 01:42:36.320]  we haven't seen any climate change. You know, we see these variations. Sometimes we have,
[01:42:37.280 --> 01:42:42.160]  things are cold, sometimes they're hot. That's called weather. Over a long period of time,
[01:42:42.160 --> 01:42:46.720]  it's called climate. And we haven't seen the climate change. We see the weather change all
[01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:52.560]  the time, and both sides will use it for their own purposes. But there has not been a long-term
[01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:59.200]  increase. And even if you believe that was a long-term increase, you need to prove that
[01:42:59.200 --> 01:43:04.640]  it's due to CO2 and the things, the mechanisms that they say. They look the other way when it
[01:43:04.640 --> 01:43:09.200]  has to do with what they want, just like they look the other way. If somebody is heating a building,
[01:43:10.080 --> 01:43:13.280]  but you can't heat your car. As a matter of fact, they've made exemptions
[01:43:14.640 --> 01:43:21.440]  for electric vehicles. They can do cabin heating before you get into the car, but they won't allow
[01:43:21.440 --> 01:43:28.160]  that for an internal combustion engine. It's just idiotic, but it is also tyrannical.
[01:43:28.240 --> 01:43:35.760]  And then take a look at what is happening in China. AI-powered Robocops. This is not taking
[01:43:35.760 --> 01:43:43.040]  very long, is it? And again, they are in a beta test in China. But remember that China is a beta
[01:43:43.040 --> 01:43:48.960]  test for tyranny and global governance and the technocracy. They are the beta test for the world.
[01:43:49.600 --> 01:43:53.680]  And so this really is, I guess we could say this is an alpha test for what we want to do here.
[01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:57.680]  Remember when I put this together, Trump bragging about what he's going to do in
[01:43:57.680 --> 01:44:04.880]  Chicago. He puts up a thing called Chicopalips. Remember that? He had himself dressed up AI like
[01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:10.960]  the Robert Duvall character from Apocalypse Now. And I put in some clips there of the Robocops and
[01:44:10.960 --> 01:44:17.200]  how I believe they're going to be used. It didn't take very long to see exactly what I had this
[01:44:17.200 --> 01:44:23.200]  Robocop do in the video. Grab the gun and point it right, point blank in somebody's face.
[01:44:23.200 --> 01:44:27.920]  This just happened with ICE. What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here. Do you like playing

[01:45:20.320 --> 01:45:30.000]  I don't know if you've seen the video or not, but you had a situation where the bunch of ICE
[01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:35.280]  guys lined up and there was a woman who was yelling at these guys as a protester, but she
[01:45:35.280 --> 01:45:41.280]  wasn't doing anything violent. And she's standing there yelling at him and he's got one of these
[01:45:42.480 --> 01:45:47.520]  Pepperball guns. He puts that down and he pulls out his real pistol and he sticks it right in
[01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:50.320]  her face, just like this robot does in this video.
[01:46:11.120 --> 01:46:12.640]  That's what their military is going to look like.
[01:46:12.640 --> 01:46:21.600]  This next clip here, right there, stick the gun in that guy's face, stick it in your face.
[01:46:24.160 --> 01:46:26.240]  And then shove somebody, shove me back, go ahead.
[01:46:35.280 --> 01:46:39.520]  Yeah, Orwell said the future was a boot stomping on your face forever.
[01:46:40.080 --> 01:46:43.680]  He didn't mention that it'd be a robotic boot.
[01:46:45.680 --> 01:46:48.640]  Now let's burn that constitution. We don't need that anymore, right?
[01:46:53.360 --> 01:46:56.880]  Well, the way this is working out right now in China, do you have the picture there, Travis?
[01:46:56.880 --> 01:47:04.000]  You can show people. This is their robot looks very feminine, actually, I think. It almost looks
[01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:10.800]  like it's got a mask on because it's white. So again, you know, disguised to look female
[01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:18.880]  and I guess a girl boss, a nanny, and that's the way they're using this. Again, it's like a
[01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:25.920]  meter made crossing guard combination. For your safety, please ride bicycles in the non-motorized
[01:47:25.920 --> 01:47:33.840]  lane, it yells at people from its pedestal. It's how it always begins, isn't it? These nagging
[01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:40.640]  safety net Nazis and nannies and then barking orders at us, and then it escalates from that
[01:47:40.640 --> 01:47:46.320]  point. The warning came, however, not from a human traffic officer, but from a humanoid robot
[01:47:46.880 --> 01:47:53.440]  standing upright on a safety island. It said its metallic sleekness and futuristic demeanor have
[01:47:53.440 --> 01:48:02.880]  made it a local celebrity with pedestrians frequently pausing to snap photos of the scene.
[01:48:03.920 --> 01:48:10.480]  You know, we love our tyranny that's coming, don't we? It's so fascinating. The robot uses
[01:48:10.480 --> 01:48:18.720]  large language model algorithms to autonomously identify traffic violations by non-motorized
[01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:24.240]  vehicles and pedestrians and to deliver on-site warnings. And again, this is the way it's going
[01:48:24.240 --> 01:48:29.360]  to go. You know, soon they'll be ticketing everybody either using automated license plate
[01:48:29.360 --> 01:48:35.360]  readers or using facial recognition. They'll be ticketing you. And as they point out, it's expected
[01:48:35.360 --> 01:48:43.600]  to ease the workload of the police. You know, when we were in China, you've heard Jules Lenti talk
[01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:49.840]  about how great the trains are in China. Well, some of them are. You know, we went from Guangzhou to
[01:48:49.840 --> 01:48:57.680]  Hong Kong, two major cities. That train was really, really nice, very modern and pretty amazing how
[01:48:57.760 --> 01:49:03.680]  smooth and how fast it was. But traveling internally in the country and going from
[01:49:05.760 --> 01:49:10.880]  a different location to a relatively small town. I mean, it had a bigger population than New York.
[01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:16.560]  But for China, it was a small town, Nanning. And when we took that train, that was a mess.
[01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:24.480]  And the train station was so dangerous that I didn't want to fly. I didn't want to put the
[01:49:24.480 --> 01:49:30.480]  family on a small plane in China. I just didn't trust them. So I insisted that we take a train.
[01:49:31.120 --> 01:49:34.880]  And I didn't realize how much of a problem it was going to be for the adoption agency. They
[01:49:34.880 --> 01:49:43.600]  specialized in Chinese adoptions, but they didn't have people insist on trains usually. And they
[01:49:44.160 --> 01:49:51.040]  had somebody buy a ticket to take the same train that we were doing just so they could personally
[01:49:51.040 --> 01:49:55.840]  escort us through this dangerous area. It was so dangerous. And we went through the area and
[01:49:56.640 --> 01:50:01.760]  they had a blue and white building that was barking orders. And I asked the guy, I said,
[01:50:01.760 --> 01:50:05.920]  what's that about? You know, and it was really desperate. And it looked like it was an official
[01:50:05.920 --> 01:50:12.960]  building. And he said, well, that's the police recording that's there. He said the police are
[01:50:12.960 --> 01:50:20.880]  afraid to come here. So no go zone for the police because it's so dangerous. And so that is
[01:50:20.880 --> 01:50:25.120]  a recorded message telling them how many people robbed and killed here last week.
[01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:31.920]  And it was pretty interesting. You know, when we went through, we were definitely noticed. We stuck
[01:50:31.920 --> 01:50:36.800]  out like a sore thumb. Everybody that's there is about the same height and has the same hair color.
[01:50:37.360 --> 01:50:42.160]  And we were all over the place. You know, Travis with his red hair and Lance with his brown hair
[01:50:42.160 --> 01:50:46.400]  and Karen with her blonde hair and me with my gray beard and everything. So everybody was really
[01:50:46.400 --> 01:50:51.040]  staring at us. I was hoping that it was simply because they thought we were bizarre looking
[01:50:51.040 --> 01:50:57.360]  and they'd never seen anything like that before. But again, it'll take the workload from the police.
[01:50:57.360 --> 01:51:04.320]  I can see them using these Robocops in a scenario like that. The robot is mobile. It's capable of
[01:51:04.320 --> 01:51:09.840]  navigating independently to designated locations on command. Its capabilities also include
[01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:15.840]  identifying illegal parking. It's a meter made and conducting real time road monitoring.
[01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:21.680]  There's a surveillance thing to write tickets and that type of thing. You can easily see this being
[01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:27.360]  used in the United States. Last year, several Chinese cities began integrating robotic officers
[01:51:27.360 --> 01:51:34.560]  into daily policing. In Sichuan province, they deployed a team of robot police officers, including
[01:51:35.200 --> 01:51:40.480]  quadruped robots, wheeled robots, and humanoid robots to patrol the streets alongside their
[01:51:40.480 --> 01:51:45.760]  human counterparts. But there they were patrolling with humans. And we've shown you the pictures of
[01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:51.360]  that. They had one robot that was like a mechanical ball. I said it reminds me more and more
[01:51:52.080 --> 01:51:59.120]  of Patrick McGuinn's The Village, right? They might as well call this thing Rover. So AI,
[01:51:59.120 --> 01:52:05.280]  except it was rigid. An AI powered traffic policing robot was put on duty in Hangzhou
[01:52:05.280 --> 01:52:10.720]  in eastern China. Only by bringing products into real life scenarios and collecting real
[01:52:10.800 --> 01:52:16.880]  operational data can we achieve rapid iteration, said the manager of the company that's
[01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:22.960]  manufacturing this particular one. Again, it's the beta test and China is the beta test for the
[01:52:22.960 --> 01:52:28.720]  dystopian world that they want to build. And when you look at what is happening with the
[01:52:28.720 --> 01:52:34.160]  federalization of the police and removing any and all restrictions for them, so-called
[01:52:34.800 --> 01:52:41.760]  law enforcement that doesn't have to obey any laws because they have absolute immunity from
[01:52:41.760 --> 01:52:47.120]  any crimes that they might commit. The human robots that we see, that's what they're looking
[01:52:47.120 --> 01:52:52.720]  for. They're looking for a lot of human robots. They'll soon be replaced by armies of robo bosses
[01:52:53.920 --> 01:53:01.120]  and also by robo nannies and they'll be using deadly force. You know what? It sucks to be
[01:53:01.120 --> 01:53:07.600]  bored. But when I get on my phone and play real casino games on spinquest.com, the time flies by.

[01:53:55.200 --> 01:54:05.440]  So we have a giant replica of the Trump Epstein birthday card made in appearance on the National
[01:54:05.440 --> 01:54:11.840]  Mall. This is by the same group that had previously put up a statue of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
[01:54:11.840 --> 01:54:18.160]  shaking hands. That lasted only a day and then the National Park Service took that down. So I
[01:54:18.160 --> 01:54:22.880]  don't know if the card is even still there. It was put up yesterday because yesterday
[01:54:22.880 --> 01:54:30.560]  was the actually today is the birthday of Jeffrey Epstein and it was that birthday card
[01:54:30.560 --> 01:54:37.920]  that had the crudely drawn profile of a woman and Trump's signature at the bottom of it.
[01:54:38.960 --> 01:54:48.320]  That was on Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday and that was 22 years ago. Yeah, 22 years ago. So
[01:54:48.320 --> 01:54:54.560]  he'd be 72 today. But that's how long Trump has known this guy. As a matter of fact,
[01:54:55.200 --> 01:55:02.400]  there was a joke about how do we get Trump to stop talking about Greenland? Well, we have Denmark
[01:55:02.960 --> 01:55:07.440]  rename it Epstein Island. That's how we can get him to never talk about it again.
[01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:15.840]  And so that was maybe that was why Trump was raging overnight because they put this card up.
[01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:21.120]  I don't know. I'm sure he'll get it taken down. And the group is called, by the way,
[01:55:22.480 --> 01:55:28.560]  it is called the secret handshake. That's what they call themselves, the people who are trolling
[01:55:28.560 --> 01:55:35.040]  Trump over the Epstein issue. It's a very large copy of the letter that was sent by Trump to
[01:55:35.040 --> 01:55:42.080]  Epstein on the pedophile's 50th birthday. Trump has claimed that it is a fake, said it's a hoax,
[01:55:42.320 --> 01:55:47.440]  just like all the Epstein stuff is supposedly a hoax. Well, he says,
[01:55:49.600 --> 01:55:54.320]  we have certain things in common, Jeffrey, said Trump on the card. And he had a little dialogue
[01:55:54.320 --> 01:55:59.280]  going back and forth between the two of them. And then on the Trump's card, Epstein says,
[01:55:59.840 --> 01:56:05.440]  yes, we do come to think of it. Trump says, enigmas never age. Have you noticed that?
[01:56:06.400 --> 01:56:12.160]  And then the letter closes with the line, a pal is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday.
[01:56:12.720 --> 01:56:21.840]  And may every day be another wonderful secret. And of course, now this is all a national security
[01:56:21.840 --> 01:56:27.440]  secret. I'm not allowed to know about it. It's all redacted. And so he called it a fabrication.
[01:56:28.000 --> 01:56:34.960]  He sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion. But then the actual document itself was released
[01:56:34.960 --> 01:56:39.520]  by Congress shortly after he filed the suit. But he's going to continue on with that.
[01:56:40.080 --> 01:56:46.480]  Meanwhile, you have a BBC radio host frantically shuts down a caller who said that Trump is a
[01:56:46.480 --> 01:56:54.000]  pedophile. So I guess they're worried about another $10 billion. That seems to be the figure that
[01:56:54.720 --> 01:57:02.640]  Trump likes to throw out. He sued the Wall Street Journal $10 billion for showing the card that was
[01:57:03.360 --> 01:57:11.680]  later released by Congress that is a real card. And so he also sued BBC for $10 billion as well.
[01:57:12.400 --> 01:57:17.760]  So I started out with the caller saying, Starmer needs to stand up and give Trump the V and wave
[01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:23.120]  our flag, said the caller. We can't keep cooperating with this guy. We gave him too many warnings.
[01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:29.840]  We've given him too many. Maybe this, maybe that. And you know, it's bad when Farage is going after
[01:57:29.840 --> 01:57:35.360]  it. This is the worst government I've ever seen in my life, he said. And then he continued, he said,
[01:57:35.360 --> 01:57:38.720]  the people of Greenland, they've got their own sovereignty. The whole world is watching this and
[01:57:38.720 --> 01:57:44.400]  thinking, what is he doing? Putin is probably looking at Trump thinking even I wouldn't do this.
[01:57:44.400 --> 01:57:49.920]  The whole thing is just an absolute, absolute mess. And I can't believe it, he said. BBC host
[01:57:49.920 --> 01:57:54.800]  was Nikki Campbell. He asked what the caller thought about Trump's claim to Greenland. And he
[01:57:54.800 --> 01:58:00.720]  said, what claim? It's ridiculous. I just cannot, he's just, I don't use this word lightly. He's a
[01:58:00.720 --> 01:58:05.680]  pedophile. He's a narcissist. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on. And they cut him off. I just can't have
[01:58:05.680 --> 01:58:12.080]  that. I don't use this word lightly. He said, we can't have that accusation. And he cut off the
[01:58:12.080 --> 01:58:18.160]  caller. Again, he doesn't want to get another $10 billion lawsuit. Jeffrey Epstein's crimes loom
[01:58:18.160 --> 01:58:23.920]  large in Britain. When you consider what the man formerly known as Prince, what happened to him?
[01:58:24.640 --> 01:58:32.720]  Prince Andrew and his connections and his length of friendship that he had with Epstein, nowhere
[01:58:32.720 --> 01:58:38.720]  close to what Trump had. And I've pointed out this before, you know, the royal family knows just how
[01:58:38.720 --> 01:58:43.360]  damaging that association with Jeffrey Epstein is. And of course, Trump does as well. It's one of the
[01:58:43.360 --> 01:58:48.480]  reasons why he's trying to cover this up. But that's why the royal family booted him out,
[01:58:48.480 --> 01:58:54.800]  took his titles and everything else. And yet, Prince Andrew, or the man formerly known as Prince,
[01:58:56.000 --> 01:59:02.080]  had less of a connection to Epstein than Donald Trump did. You can certainly understand why they
[01:59:02.080 --> 01:59:08.160]  would think that Trump is a pedophile. I mean, they know that about Prince Andrew. And so now
[01:59:08.160 --> 01:59:16.080]  Trump is hit by new allegations, this time of blatant corruption, selling pardons. And remember,
[01:59:16.080 --> 01:59:22.720]  I've had John Kiriakou on for a couple of times talking about how Rudy Giuliani offered to get
[01:59:22.720 --> 01:59:30.400]  him a pardon for a million dollars. He said he met with Rudy Giuliani and the other guys because
[01:59:30.400 --> 01:59:35.120]  you know, he's trying to get a pardon. And he said, there's two guys and Rudy Giuliani.
[01:59:35.840 --> 01:59:41.280]  And so he said, you know, what do I need to do to get a pardon? And he's done his time for,
[01:59:41.280 --> 01:59:47.440]  he went to jail because of the wars about the lies about weapons of mass destruction
[01:59:47.440 --> 01:59:52.880]  that were used to start the Iraq war. He didn't tell those lies. He told the truth. He told the
[01:59:52.880 --> 01:59:59.440]  truth that the lies were based on torture that the CIA had done. And the person who covered up
[02:00:00.240 --> 02:00:04.800]  the torture and the person who sold the lies about weapons of mass destruction was Gina Haspel.
[02:00:05.600 --> 02:00:12.400]  And she was rewarded with being made the director of the CIA under Trump's first administration.
[02:00:13.760 --> 02:00:18.000]  And you look at everybody else, none of the people who did the torture were punished.
[02:00:18.720 --> 02:00:25.920]  There was an attempt at a civil lawsuit against the psychiatrists who had devised the tortures.
[02:00:26.560 --> 02:00:32.560]  And even that was shut down. So the only person who went to jail was a person who exposed how
[02:00:32.560 --> 02:00:40.640]  these people produced the lies that lied us into the Iraq war. And so anyway, they sent John
[02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:46.240]  Kiriakou to prison. I forget the amount of time that he was sent to prison for, but he did the
[02:00:46.240 --> 02:00:54.160]  time and he got out. And because he was convicted of the felony, he didn't get his pension from the
[02:00:54.160 --> 02:00:57.920]  CIA. And that's why he wanted to pardon. If he got a pardon, then he would be able to get the
[02:00:57.920 --> 02:01:03.920]  pension. The pension, as he pointed out, was only worth $750,000. So he wasn't going to pay
[02:01:03.920 --> 02:01:11.440]  a million dollars to get a $750,000 pension. And so he's talking to Rudy and two other people,
[02:01:11.440 --> 02:01:17.200]  and he's told this story multiple times. And he's told it twice on this show. And he said,
[02:01:19.200 --> 02:01:23.520]  he starts to mention the pardon and Rudy says, oh, I got to get it. And so he gets up and goes to
[02:01:23.520 --> 02:01:28.960]  the bathroom and excuses himself. And the other two guys said, it'll cost you a million dollars.
[02:01:28.960 --> 02:01:35.520]  And he said, I'm not going to pay that. And he's told that story several times. Well, it turns out
[02:01:35.520 --> 02:01:42.400]  that these pardons that Trump did on Friday, people are questioning the connections. It looks
[02:01:42.400 --> 02:01:52.560]  like he has sold these pardons in exchange for donations to MAGA allies. And so the central part
[02:01:52.560 --> 02:01:59.680]  of this is he's rewarded generous donors with clemency. For example, a pardon shopping industry
[02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:06.960]  is now being uncovered where lobbyists say that the going rate is $1 million. Boy, hasn't changed
[02:02:06.960 --> 02:02:13.200]  from the first Trump administration, has it? Pardon seekers have offered some lobbyists close
[02:02:13.200 --> 02:02:20.880]  to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can get a deal. And the example
[02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:28.640]  is Julio Herrera Bolotini, a Venezuelan Italian banker who was facing felony bribery and other
[02:02:28.640 --> 02:02:35.280]  charges. Recent donations from his daughter, Isabella Herrera, who donated two and a half
[02:02:35.280 --> 02:02:42.960]  million dollars to MAGA incorporated. In exchange for the move Herrera agreed to plead guilty to a
[02:02:42.960 --> 02:02:48.240]  misdemeanor campaign finance charge, disappointing career prosecutors who had pushed for a harsher
[02:02:48.240 --> 02:02:54.960]  sentence. But it gets more interesting. Two months later, Isabella Herrera donated another
[02:02:54.960 --> 02:03:02.400]  million dollars to MAGA incorporated, culminating in a pardon from Trump late last week. The White
[02:03:02.400 --> 02:03:09.200]  House claimed the political contributions do not lead to the pardon. In other words, it's just a
[02:03:09.200 --> 02:03:21.120]  excuse me, just a timely coincidence, right? So on Friday, Trump also pardoned former Puerto Rico
[02:03:21.120 --> 02:03:29.840]  governor Wanda Garcet. Garcet had pleaded guilty to a corruption charge related to her 2020 campaign.
[02:03:31.280 --> 02:03:39.120]  The scandal also included campaign contributions from this other guy, Julio Herrera Bolotini.
[02:03:39.760 --> 02:03:49.200]  It's a little network, isn't it? That he's got going. And, you know, when we we look at this,
[02:03:49.200 --> 02:03:55.680]  again, Trump has talked about how his people are so loyal to him.
[02:04:04.320 --> 02:04:08.400]  Yeah, they have to give their shots. And, you know, he could shoot people himself.
[02:04:08.400 --> 02:04:13.600]  It could be with a gun on Fifth Avenue or it could be the other shots and nobody's going to
[02:04:13.600 --> 02:04:17.760]  hold it against him. People, my people are so smart. And you know what else they say about my
[02:04:17.760 --> 02:04:22.480]  people? The polls. They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand
[02:04:22.480 --> 02:04:26.640]  in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters. OK, it's like

[02:05:41.520 --> 02:05:47.200]  that this is bad. It's a bad shot but they won't connect it to him. They'll look the other way
[02:05:48.320 --> 02:05:53.040]  because those people really don't care. Travis, while I'm trying to get my voice back, can you
[02:05:53.040 --> 02:05:59.040]  cover some of the comments here? You got it. We have Ben Laden Bernanke 1 says,
[02:05:59.040 --> 02:06:03.280]  Trump is like the guy in the video, Bittersweet Symphony. I'm a million different people from one
[02:06:03.280 --> 02:06:11.520]  day to the next. His presidency is bittersweet on its best days. Yeah, that's right. And then we have
[02:06:11.520 --> 02:06:17.360]  Sabbath 1974 says, Intel agencies cover up pedophilia under guise of national security
[02:06:17.360 --> 02:06:22.160]  because Congress, senators, and presidents are implicated. The CIA would never let Epstein
[02:06:22.160 --> 02:06:27.280]  become a household name if Arkansasiding him were optional. That's right. We're gonna take
[02:06:27.280 --> 02:06:32.960]  a quick break folks. I'll be right back on trying to get my voice back here. We'll talk about Don
[02:06:32.960 --> 02:06:37.600]  Lemon who finally went to church but for all the wrong reasons and doing all the wrong things.
[02:06:37.600 --> 02:06:40.400]  We'll be right back.
[02:07:22.160 --> 02:07:27.440]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:35.520]  Well, over the weekend we had Don Lemon and a disruption of a church service which I don't
[02:07:35.520 --> 02:07:41.200]  agree with. And again, Don Lemon is being criticized even by the left for his imbecility.
[02:07:41.840 --> 02:07:47.200]  He thinks that what they did was actually the First Amendment, completely ignoring the First
[02:07:47.200 --> 02:07:50.800]  Amendment rights of people to have the free expression of religion and the fact that it
[02:07:50.800 --> 02:07:56.800]  is private property. But there was an interesting op-ed piece in the world from a guy who helped to
[02:07:57.920 --> 02:08:03.760]  start the church in St. Paul that they interrupted. And it's also a church plant from
[02:08:04.560 --> 02:08:09.680]  Doug Wilson's group in Moscow, Idaho where they have a church plant in Washington D.C. and he's
[02:08:09.680 --> 02:08:14.960]  involved in that church. And he said they have on a regular basis there people who are protesting
[02:08:15.600 --> 02:08:21.120]  Warpete because he attends that church. And because Warpete attends the church, they have people
[02:08:21.120 --> 02:08:26.800]  outside who are yelling at him and screaming about the lawless murders that Warpete is doing.
[02:08:26.800 --> 02:08:34.480]  And it's like, I said this before about the people at the Moscow church and the Christian
[02:08:34.480 --> 02:08:40.240]  church in Moscow, Idaho. And Doug Wilson, I said, you need to do some church discipline and some
[02:08:40.240 --> 02:08:47.040]  explaining to this guy who's out there openly lying about stuff, violating God's law, violating
[02:08:47.040 --> 02:08:52.400]  moral law, violating the Constitution, violating international law, and boasting about it. That's
[02:08:52.400 --> 02:08:58.560]  the problem with Warpete. But having said all that, I don't agree with what these people are
[02:08:58.560 --> 02:09:05.120]  doing in Minnesota. In Minnesota, the issue is that there's a guy that's part of the staff there
[02:09:05.200 --> 02:09:11.280]  that also works for ICE. So what they did was, as he describes it, a disruption that was planned
[02:09:11.280 --> 02:09:17.040]  and coordinated. Agitators sat through the first part of the service before standing and chanting
[02:09:17.040 --> 02:09:22.320]  accusations at the pastors and members. The agitators proudly filmed and posted themselves
[02:09:22.320 --> 02:09:28.240]  screaming at children, harassing churchgoers demanding that they denounce ICE, and accusing
[02:09:28.240 --> 02:09:32.560]  them of being fake Christians for not standing with their Latino and Somali neighbors.
[02:09:32.800 --> 02:09:39.520]  Again, we have to understand how to divide this thing. The federal government has been delegated
[02:09:39.520 --> 02:09:44.800]  the power to do immigration control. There's no question about that. There's no question the fact
[02:09:44.800 --> 02:09:50.400]  that these people have violated the law. There's also no question about the fact that the ICE agents
[02:09:50.400 --> 02:09:57.680]  are out of control, a lawless mob that is creating another set of problems. And so I don't defend
[02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:03.600]  either one of these mobs, and it is amazing to see people defending one or the other.
[02:10:04.640 --> 02:10:10.560]  So he says, first we ought to pray that our government officials would uphold law and order,
[02:10:10.560 --> 02:10:18.080]  and I would start with Warpete instead of the lawless, quote unquote, law enforcement,
[02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:25.200]  and the disorder of ICE. And maybe if you want to have law and order, maybe you should tell Warpete
[02:10:25.360 --> 02:10:28.880]  not to kill people without due process for crimes that are not capital offenses,
[02:10:29.520 --> 02:10:36.080]  and not to circle back and murder survivors of your initial attack. And so he said this includes
[02:10:36.080 --> 02:10:42.480]  praying for ICE as they carry out their lawful mission. Yes, there's no question. Their mission
[02:10:42.480 --> 02:10:51.120]  is lawful, but maybe the means are unlawful. Maybe what they're doing is shameful. Maybe they should
[02:10:51.120 --> 02:10:54.880]  follow the law and get a warrant so they know who they're arresting. You know, we just had a
[02:10:54.880 --> 02:11:02.320]  situation where they had a guy who was originally from an area of China, the Hamong people,
[02:11:03.520 --> 02:11:10.240]  and they were under a lot of Chinese persecution because a lot of them had helped the CIA in
[02:11:10.240 --> 02:11:15.520]  Vietnam. So this is a guy, and there's a lot of people in Minnesota who have immigrated from the
[02:11:15.520 --> 02:11:23.200]  Hamong community, and this guy has been here for decades and was a citizen, and he came here
[02:11:23.200 --> 02:11:29.280]  legally, and he did everything right. The ICE agent showed up at his house, drug him out in the
[02:11:29.280 --> 02:11:35.840]  snow without any adequate clothing. He had crocs or flip-flops on, and he had shorts on. They put
[02:11:35.840 --> 02:11:40.240]  him in the car, drove him around for an hour, figured out that he was an American citizen,
[02:11:40.240 --> 02:11:45.120]  finally just came back and dumped him. None of that would have happened if he would have gotten
[02:11:45.120 --> 02:11:50.480]  a warrant and followed the law. You lawless mob. Don't call yourself law enforcement if you think
[02:11:50.480 --> 02:11:56.080]  that you've got absolute immunity from the law. It's the kind of hypocrisy is what is creating
[02:11:56.080 --> 02:12:01.280]  this issue here, but then it gets even worse. I'm going to keep going for just a little bit. I want
[02:12:01.280 --> 02:12:08.800]  to say this before we stop. What is even worse is now you have Christians who are out there demanding
[02:12:09.360 --> 02:12:15.920]  that the FACE Act be used against Don Lemon. Well, yeah, he should have some penalties for
[02:12:15.920 --> 02:12:20.800]  what he did, but why would we support something like the FACE Act? Do they not know what the
[02:12:20.800 --> 02:12:26.400]  FACE Act was? It was in the early 1990s. It was set up to protect abortion clinics. You know,
[02:12:26.400 --> 02:12:30.960]  we looked during the Biden administration how they weaponized the FACE Act against people
[02:12:30.960 --> 02:12:37.680]  who had not even violated the FACE Act, but the FACE Act has been used to arrest grandmothers
[02:12:37.680 --> 02:12:44.960]  who are praying silently to get people to not have an abortion. It's been used against a father
[02:12:44.960 --> 02:12:51.920]  who was at a safe distance away from it and was shoved and attacked by one of the people in the
[02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:57.360]  abortion clinic. It's been abused so much, and I think it's kind of interesting. If you go back
[02:12:57.360 --> 02:13:03.920]  and look at the FACE Act, the FACE Act was first and foremost about protecting abortion clinic
[02:13:03.920 --> 02:13:09.040]  access. It was really what part of the name of the FACE Act was. It was all about protecting
[02:13:09.040 --> 02:13:14.560]  abortion clinics, but they threw a clause in there and said, but you can't do this to churches
[02:13:14.560 --> 02:13:20.080]  either. Why would they do that? Those two things are completely unrelated. There was no protests,
[02:13:20.080 --> 02:13:25.520]  nobody standing outside of churches protesting the policies or anything like that at the time.
[02:13:25.520 --> 02:13:32.080]  They did that to get complicity from these people, and so now the conservatives, rather than
[02:13:32.080 --> 02:13:37.680]  calling for the repeal of the FACE Act, they want the FACE Act to be weaponized against their
[02:13:37.680 --> 02:13:44.240]  enemies. Isn't this the ultimate strategy of what Trump is teaching us? You see something evil
[02:13:44.880 --> 02:13:49.440]  and you don't want to end it. You want to take it over and use it for your own purposes.
[02:13:50.240 --> 02:13:55.200]  This Boromir administration and that cancer has metastasized throughout. Now it turns out
[02:13:55.840 --> 02:14:02.640]  that the DOJ decided not to use the FACE Act against Don Lemon. Instead, they charged him with
[02:14:02.640 --> 02:14:10.960]  the, I think it was 1871 Act, maybe 1877 Act, the Ku Klux Klan Act. This is something that goes back
[02:14:10.960 --> 02:14:18.080]  to Reconstruction, and it was a federal law that they had there, and they have charged Don Lemon
[02:14:18.080 --> 02:14:24.160]  under that law. He gets charged with the KKK Act. He gets charged on Martin Luther King Day,
[02:14:24.160 --> 02:14:32.080]  that's the headline that one organization had. Anyway, we look at this, and there are remedies
[02:14:32.080 --> 02:14:39.040]  that are there without going to war, this kind of extreme, and without doubling down and enforcing
[02:14:39.680 --> 02:14:43.920]  something like the FACE Act. That's all I had to say, so we'll take a break now. Thank you so
[02:14:43.920 --> 02:14:48.240]  much, Travis, for giving me a couple extra minutes to talk about that. Have a good day. Thank you.
[02:15:13.920 --> 02:15:20.560]  And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary,
[02:15:21.520 --> 02:15:26.080]  but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:15:28.240 --> 02:15:31.840]  That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[02:15:32.640 --> 02:15:38.800]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[02:15:38.800 --> 02:15:45.280]  everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and
[02:15:45.280 --> 02:15:50.800]  expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
