[01:27.800 --> 01:34.900]  In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
[01:34.900 --> 01:38.100]  It's the David Knight Show.
[01:38.100 --> 01:50.600]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 12th of December, year of Our Lord 2025.
[01:50.600 --> 01:52.200]  Well, it's kind of interesting.
[01:52.200 --> 01:57.400]  The person of the year is essentially AI according to time.
[01:58.200 --> 02:00.100]  Not exactly AI.
[02:00.100 --> 02:02.400]  They didn't want to call AI a person.
[02:02.400 --> 02:08.900]  So what they do is they kowtow and praise the Silicon Valley technocrat billionaires
[02:08.900 --> 02:11.200]  who are creating this abomination.
[02:11.200 --> 02:14.800]  And it appears that there's echoes of the Art-Elect War.
[02:14.800 --> 02:16.000]  Remember that from Hugo de Guerra?
[02:16.000 --> 02:21.100]  So he said once people figure out what these guys are up to with artificial intelligence,
[02:21.100 --> 02:23.100]  we'll have the Art-Elect War.
[02:23.100 --> 02:25.000]  They know people will come after them.
[02:25.000 --> 02:28.200]  Well, there's a couple of issues that show this.
[02:28.200 --> 02:33.300]  First of all, Trump's mania to make sure that there can be no regulation or control of anything
[02:33.300 --> 02:36.000]  having to do with AI at a state or local level.
[02:36.000 --> 02:41.200]  But now they're talking about moving their data centers to space.
[02:41.200 --> 02:43.900]  How about the next galaxy?
[02:43.900 --> 02:45.400]  Let's not stop in near-Earth orbit.
[02:45.400 --> 02:47.700]  Let's just keep going, okay?
[02:47.700 --> 02:54.400]  But we're also going to talk about NATO pushing hard for World War III.
[02:54.400 --> 03:02.400]  That's right, the former prime minister who tried to starve his own people in Europe by
[03:02.400 --> 03:06.400]  shutting down the breadbasket of the EU.
[03:06.400 --> 03:07.900]  And now he's a leader of NATO.
[03:07.900 --> 03:11.100]  So we've got a lot to talk about today.
[03:11.100 --> 03:17.100]  Let's begin, however, with the news, just general news, the NDAA passed.
[03:17.100 --> 03:21.940]  And it tells us a great deal about the state of the Republican Party because we had a lot
[03:21.940 --> 03:27.940]  of people who've had very strong concerns about things that were in it and things that
[03:27.940 --> 03:30.040]  were not in it.
[03:30.040 --> 03:35.540]  And so this was told by them was going to be a take it or leave it bill.
[03:35.540 --> 03:42.740]  You had Mike Johnson doing the bidding of Trump and all the GOP doing the bidding of
[03:42.740 --> 03:45.140]  Mike Johnson, except for Thomas Massey.
[03:45.140 --> 03:49.240]  What did the people who said they were going to push back against this, what did they have
[03:49.240 --> 03:50.740]  a problem with this?
[03:51.040 --> 03:58.040]  Well, they had a problem with the, I think something's wrong with the video, Travis.
[03:58.040 --> 03:59.040]  It looks OK.
[03:59.040 --> 04:08.740]  They had a problem with CBDC as well as more money for the Ukraine War and many other foreign
[04:08.740 --> 04:11.040]  aid issues that were there.
[04:11.040 --> 04:15.640]  But they wound up caving, a handful of lawmakers who questioned that.
[04:15.640 --> 04:20.140]  You had Marjorie Taylor Greene.
[04:20.140 --> 04:24.740]  You had Thomas Massey was the only one who continued on with it.
[04:24.740 --> 04:28.640]  But the rest of them caved when Bush came to shove.
[04:28.640 --> 04:31.440]  So they passed the NDAA.
[04:31.440 --> 04:35.540]  The conservative group had railed against it for various reasons.
[04:35.540 --> 04:41.640]  The omission of a prohibition that would ban permanently CBDC.
[04:41.640 --> 04:47.240]  Also the authorization of $400 million in new security assistance for Ukraine.
[04:47.240 --> 04:51.440]  So the only person who stuck to that was Thomas Massey.
[04:51.440 --> 04:53.940]  You had other people who had issues with it.
[04:53.940 --> 05:00.440]  Marjorie Taylor Greene, Anna Polina Luna, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, Josh Breachon
[05:00.440 --> 05:02.340]  of Oklahoma, and several others.
[05:02.340 --> 05:03.640]  There's about a dozen people.
[05:03.640 --> 05:09.140]  They were the ones who had spoken out on this, but they all in the end did what they were
[05:09.140 --> 05:12.940]  told by Mike Johnson and Donald Trump.
[05:12.940 --> 05:19.040]  Even Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was retiring and who has called Trump out on so many issues,
[05:19.040 --> 05:21.140]  she didn't stick to her guns.
[05:21.140 --> 05:22.140]  Just remember this.
[05:22.140 --> 05:25.840]  When she starts running for the next thing she's going to run for.
[05:25.840 --> 05:32.040]  Burchett said taxpayer dollars flowing to the Taliban and imagine that.
[05:32.040 --> 05:36.940]  The Republicans had that in their bill, going to still pay money to the Taliban.
[05:37.440 --> 05:40.240]  So Marco Rubio said, well, we'll cut that off.
[05:40.240 --> 05:42.140]  He goes, okay, well, then I'll vote for it, right?
[05:42.140 --> 05:44.840]  I don't care if it's got CBDC in it or money to Ukraine.
[05:44.840 --> 05:48.440]  I just don't want to send money to the Taliban.
[05:48.440 --> 05:53.640]  Yeah, you know, until Trump had this spat with the Colombian president, the place where
[05:53.640 --> 05:59.840]  most of the cocaine comes from, was getting subsidized by the American government.
[05:59.840 --> 06:05.140]  Just like we protected the poppy fields and subsidized them in Afghanistan.
[06:05.140 --> 06:09.040]  While we were having an opioid epidemic here at home.
[06:09.040 --> 06:11.540]  You know, don't pay attention to that, right?
[06:11.540 --> 06:16.640]  I tell you, I look back at what has happened, especially with 2020, all the Republicans
[06:16.640 --> 06:21.840]  who were so upset about Trump, so upset that they would go on January the 6th.
[06:21.840 --> 06:25.140]  And it's like, where have you people been for all of 2020?
[06:25.140 --> 06:27.840]  Did you put your face mask that he wanted everybody to wear?
[06:27.840 --> 06:30.140]  Did you put those over your eyes?
[06:30.140 --> 06:34.140]  Were you blindfolded and blind to what the guy did for the last year that you could vote
[06:34.140 --> 06:35.140]  for him again?
[06:35.140 --> 06:39.740]  And yet, you know, this is the kind of thing in the National Defense Authorization Act.
[06:39.740 --> 06:41.940]  We're giving money to the Taliban.
[06:41.940 --> 06:43.840]  Imagine that.
[06:43.840 --> 06:47.740]  And at the last minute, Marco Rubio pulls that out.
[06:47.740 --> 06:48.740]  What else is in there?
[06:48.740 --> 06:55.040]  Well, the CBDC issue, they had to stop with that because Elizabeth Warren didn't like
[06:55.040 --> 06:57.140]  it in the Senate.
[06:57.140 --> 07:00.740]  So the House says, well, we know Elizabeth Warren is going to push back against that.
[07:00.740 --> 07:01.740]  Fine.
[07:01.740 --> 07:03.020]  Let's have that fight.
[07:03.020 --> 07:04.820]  Let's talk about CBDC.
[07:04.820 --> 07:07.820]  You know, they're afraid to take on Elizabeth Warren.
[07:07.820 --> 07:10.620]  No wonder they cave to everything that Trump tells them.
[07:10.620 --> 07:12.320]  They can't even fight Elizabeth Warren.
[07:12.320 --> 07:14.220]  How useless are they?
[07:14.220 --> 07:17.820]  She's nothing but the tool of big banks.
[07:17.820 --> 07:24.120]  And that would certainly expose what she is if they wanted to have that fight.
[07:24.120 --> 07:27.820]  But they just gave up their big tactical advantage.
[07:28.020 --> 07:33.620]  Meanwhile, you have Luna says, well, the House is going to go to war with the Senate over
[07:33.620 --> 07:34.620]  that later on.
[07:34.620 --> 07:37.220]  We're going to have a separate bill about that.
[07:37.220 --> 07:40.220]  Well, they gave up their big tactical advantage.
[07:40.220 --> 07:46.420]  The issue is that everybody piles everything into the NDAA because it is a must pass bill.
[07:46.420 --> 07:49.020]  That's what funds the military.
[07:49.020 --> 07:51.980]  And they're not going to go against that.
[07:51.980 --> 07:55.740]  So if you get something included in there, it's pretty much going to get passed.
[07:55.740 --> 08:00.640]  So they gave up their biggest leverage right there to get this passed.
[08:00.640 --> 08:02.840]  It isn't going to pass.
[08:02.840 --> 08:07.440]  Conservative lawmakers excoriate the NDAA, despite the White House coming out and supporting
[08:07.440 --> 08:11.640]  the defense policy Tuesday evening.
[08:11.640 --> 08:16.340]  Daily Callers said that Trump, quote, strongly supports this year's marquee defense bill.
[08:16.340 --> 08:18.300]  And that was it.
[08:18.300 --> 08:20.980]  So the conservatives don't like it.
[08:20.980 --> 08:23.500]  But Trump strongly supports it.
[08:23.500 --> 08:25.380]  That's because Trump's not a conservative.
[08:26.020 --> 08:30.140]  He's a New York City Democrat, a globalist.
[08:30.140 --> 08:32.820]  He's not a conservative.
[08:32.820 --> 08:35.820]  So it is going to codify more.

[09:35.980 --> 09:38.980]  Than a dozen of Trump's executive orders.
[09:38.980 --> 09:42.980]  Now I looked them up, yeah it is more than a dozen, it's 15 actually.
[09:42.980 --> 09:48.980]  DEI for the most part and things about militarizing the border.
[09:49.180 --> 09:55.180]  And in general, I've got to say, I mean I'm on record and I still agree in principle
[09:55.180 --> 09:56.180]  with it.
[09:56.180 --> 10:00.180]  I just have some real issues after what I have seen them doing this year.
[10:00.180 --> 10:05.180]  In terms of coming right up to the edge and crossing, right up to the line and crossing
[10:05.180 --> 10:08.180]  over the line when it comes to Posse Comitatus.
[10:08.180 --> 10:13.180]  And so I said, you know, Trump wants to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
[10:13.180 --> 10:15.180]  He said, well just bring all the troops home.
[10:15.180 --> 10:16.180]  And just put them at the border.
[10:16.380 --> 10:20.380]  They don't even have to really do anything except just be there as a deterrent.
[10:20.380 --> 10:22.380]  But they're not talking about that.
[10:22.380 --> 10:30.380]  And as this was put into the NDAA and codified, you now have Trump saying that he's going
[10:30.380 --> 10:33.380]  to set up military zones at the border as well.
[10:33.380 --> 10:37.380]  So I'm having some concerns about the way he's going to execute this.
[10:37.380 --> 10:40.380]  The devil is in the details.
[10:40.580 --> 10:47.580]  So Marjorie Teller-Green criticized this week the bill citing provisions authorizing
[10:47.580 --> 10:51.580]  security assistance to a variety of foreign countries including Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
[10:52.580 --> 10:54.580]  And I don't know if I talked about this yesterday.
[10:54.580 --> 10:57.580]  Did I talk about this about Taiwan yesterday, Travis?
[10:57.580 --> 11:00.580]  The fact that they have wargamed this over and over again.
[11:00.580 --> 11:05.580]  Even Pete Hegseth, when he was a Fox News contributor, was talking about how we did
[11:05.780 --> 11:10.780]  not have the ability to defeat China if there was a war over Taiwan.
[11:10.780 --> 11:18.780]  And when he was talking about it a few years ago, the issue was that China had a lot of
[11:18.780 --> 11:23.780]  resources in the area, obviously, and could overwhelm things.
[11:23.780 --> 11:27.780]  And they could produce a lot of very cheap things like drones, for example.
[11:27.780 --> 11:28.780]  We've talked about this.
[11:28.780 --> 11:33.780]  You know, the US is aspiring to get its drone production up to a few hundred thousand a
[11:34.180 --> 11:41.180]  year while China is manufacturing over eight million drones a year.
[11:41.180 --> 11:42.780]  So there's things like that.
[11:42.780 --> 11:49.380]  And that tends to neutralize your technological advantage and the complex weapon systems that
[11:49.380 --> 11:50.380]  you have.
[11:50.380 --> 11:52.380]  Just go back and look at World War II.
[11:52.380 --> 11:58.380]  You know, the Nazis had jet airplanes, they had Panzer tanks that were very advanced and
[11:58.380 --> 11:59.380]  that type of thing.
[11:59.380 --> 12:01.380]  But they didn't have that many of them.
[12:01.380 --> 12:05.380]  You know, we had Sherman tanks that were not that one-on-one between a Sherman tank
[12:05.380 --> 12:06.380]  and a Panzer.
[12:06.380 --> 12:08.380]  It's going to go to the Panzer.
[12:08.380 --> 12:14.380]  But if you've got a swarm of Sherman tanks that are out there, that can work.
[12:14.380 --> 12:17.380]  And so that's where we were a few years ago.
[12:17.380 --> 12:20.380]  But now China has hypersonic missiles.
[12:20.380 --> 12:21.380]  We don't.
[12:21.380 --> 12:24.380]  We don't have a defense against them either.
[12:24.380 --> 12:29.380]  And so the bottom line is that would be even more devastating right now.
[12:29.380 --> 12:34.380]  So they want to keep pushing and pushing against these things that they can't really win.
[12:34.380 --> 12:37.380]  They want to have a war that they can't win.
[12:37.380 --> 12:45.380]  And so, yeah, they're going to fund Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
[12:45.380 --> 12:51.380]  The retiring member, Marjorie Taylor Greene, also criticized House GMP leadership for failing
[12:51.380 --> 12:57.380]  to secure a CBDC ban and the NDAA, which leadership had promised us Mike Johnson.
[12:57.380 --> 13:02.380]  They had promised conservatives that they would do that in exchange for supporting landmark
[13:02.380 --> 13:06.380]  cryptocurrency legislation back in July.
[13:06.380 --> 13:09.380]  Mike Johnson just keeps lying to his own people.
[13:09.380 --> 13:16.380]  You vote for this cryptocurrency thing and we'll make a permanent ban for CBDC and the NDAA.
[13:16.380 --> 13:19.380]  And now he's not doing it.
[13:19.380 --> 13:26.380]  Republican privacy hawks, privacy hawk, anybody that's pushing back against total surveillance
[13:26.380 --> 13:32.380]  police state, argued that a CBDC could grant the federal government widespread surveillance
[13:32.380 --> 13:35.380]  over Americans' financial transactions.
[13:35.380 --> 13:38.380]  Well, that's its very purpose.
[13:38.380 --> 13:44.380]  So, and by the way, that's why the leadership, Mike Johnson, doesn't want to ban it.
[13:44.380 --> 13:46.380]  They want that.
[13:46.380 --> 13:51.380]  But nevertheless, she caved and she voted for it.
[13:51.380 --> 13:53.380]  As usual, he didn't keep his promise.
[13:53.380 --> 13:58.380]  It's not on the end of the NDAA, so the CBDC loophole remains.
[13:58.380 --> 14:03.380]  And as usual, she votes for it in spite of criticizing it.
[14:03.380 --> 14:04.380]  Another example here.
[14:04.380 --> 14:11.380]  Texas Representative Keith Self introduced an amendment to reinstate the CBDC ban into the NDAA,
[14:11.380 --> 14:15.380]  but the House Rules Committee did not advance the measure.
[14:15.380 --> 14:20.380]  He said, We conservatives have been forced into a take it or leave it bill that breaks that promise.
[14:20.380 --> 14:25.380]  Without that language, I'm inclined to leave it.
[14:25.380 --> 14:29.380]  But he voted for it anyway.
[14:29.380 --> 14:36.380]  This is why I say, you know, when you get them to get you to fall in line with the Hegelian dialectic,
[14:36.380 --> 14:38.380]  these two parties are playing you.
[14:38.380 --> 14:40.380]  They're playing you.
[14:40.380 --> 14:45.380]  This is just like when they have a dog and pony hearing about some subject and they never do anything about it.
[14:45.380 --> 14:47.380]  They don't come after the people who broke the law.
[14:47.380 --> 14:49.380]  They don't change any laws.
[14:49.380 --> 14:51.380]  It's always the same thing.
[14:51.380 --> 14:57.380]  Rand Paul said that when it comes to the Senate, he will oppose the NDAA because of these issues.
[14:57.380 --> 15:02.380]  So really, you've only got Tom Massey and Rand Paul, both of them out of Kentucky,
[15:02.380 --> 15:08.380]  who are going to stick to their principles and vote against this bill that's got these bad things in it.
[15:08.380 --> 15:11.380]  He said this bill is not America first.
[15:11.380 --> 15:14.380]  There's new assistance for Ukraine, tens of millions of dollars,
[15:14.380 --> 15:20.380]  in spite of Trump's demands for his statements that he wants peace,
[15:20.380 --> 15:24.380]  he's pushing for more money for Ukraine.
[15:24.380 --> 15:26.380]  What's going on with that?
[15:26.380 --> 15:29.380]  It's just this hypocrisy that's constantly on the way.
[15:29.380 --> 15:34.380]  So as I said, there's 15 executive orders that have been codified.
[15:34.380 --> 15:40.380]  Most of them have to do with D.I. in the military as well as getting it out, which is good,
[15:40.380 --> 15:46.380]  as well as going right up to the limit of Posse Comitados at the border,
[15:46.380 --> 15:50.380]  and perhaps over once he gets there.
[15:50.380 --> 15:55.380]  So Trump is planning a militarized zone on the California-Mexico border.
[15:55.380 --> 15:59.380]  They announced plans on Wednesday to add another militarized zone to the southern border,
[15:59.380 --> 16:01.380]  this time to California.
[16:01.380 --> 16:07.380]  It's part of a major shift that thrust troops and border enforcement with Mexico like never before.
[16:07.380 --> 16:11.380]  And again, in principle, I would favor that,
[16:11.380 --> 16:14.380]  and practice will have to see exactly what that looks like.
[16:14.380 --> 16:20.380]  The move places long stretches of the border under the supervision of nearby military bases,
[16:20.380 --> 16:24.380]  empowering U.S. troops to detain people who enter the country illegally
[16:24.380 --> 16:28.380]  and sidestep a law prohibiting military involvement and civilian law enforcement.
[16:28.380 --> 16:34.380]  Just remember that the Border Patrol claims jurisdiction within the first 100 miles of the border.
[16:34.380 --> 16:38.380]  So if they're going to put the military in there to do border control work,
[16:38.380 --> 16:44.380]  does that mean we're going to have martial law within the first around 100 miles of the border
[16:44.380 --> 16:48.380]  all the way around the country? That's what really concerns me.
[16:48.380 --> 16:51.380]  It's done under the authority of the National Emergency on the Border,
[16:51.380 --> 16:57.380]  declared by Trump on his first day in office, but now that has been codified in this NDAA.
[16:57.380 --> 17:03.380]  The military strategy was pioneered in April along a 170-mile stretch of the border in New Mexico,
[17:03.380 --> 17:09.380]  later expanded to portions of the border in Texas and Arizona. Now it will be in California.
[17:09.380 --> 17:11.380]  We move to tariffs.
[17:33.380 --> 17:42.380]  With X's the cash scratch tickets from the Texas Lottery, you could multiply the cash by 30, 50, 100, or even 200 times.
[17:42.380 --> 17:45.380]  And when you multiply the cash, you multiply the celebration.
[17:45.380 --> 17:48.380]  With top prizes from $60,000 up to a million dollars,
[17:48.380 --> 17:51.380]  it's the easiest way to multiply your $60,000 cash.
[17:51.380 --> 17:55.380]  And when you multiply the cash, you multiply the celebration.
[17:55.380 --> 17:58.380]  With top prizes from $60,000 up to a million dollars,
[17:58.380 --> 18:01.380]  with top prizes from $60,000 up to a million dollars,
[18:01.380 --> 18:03.380]  it's the easiest way to multiply your luck.
[18:03.380 --> 18:06.380]  And enter for a chance to win a VIP iHeart experience.
[18:06.380 --> 18:09.380]  Play X the cash scratch tickets today.
[18:09.380 --> 18:11.380]  Must be 18 or older. Play responsibly.
[18:11.380 --> 18:16.380]  Trump's claim on China soybean purchases is not backed up by the data.
[18:16.380 --> 18:19.380]  This is amazing. I had not even seen the bogus claim.
[18:19.380 --> 18:26.380]  But as we talk about the obvious lies with Venezuela, this is another example.
[18:26.380 --> 18:28.380]  What are you saying about the tariffs?
[18:28.380 --> 18:35.380]  He is saying that Caroline Lovett said China wasn't doing this,
[18:35.380 --> 18:37.380]  wasn't buying soybean under the last administration
[18:37.380 --> 18:42.380]  because they had no respect for President Biden or for the country at the time.
[18:42.380 --> 18:47.380]  And so now after Trump came in and for the second time
[18:47.380 --> 18:53.380]  shut off soybean purchases from China completely in retaliation for his tariffs,
[18:53.380 --> 18:56.380]  he's the one who shut them off.
[18:56.380 --> 19:00.380]  And so now he's claiming victory because he's getting the tap turned back on.
[19:00.380 --> 19:04.380]  But the amount that they pledged to purchase
[19:04.380 --> 19:07.380]  is one half of what had typically been purchased,
[19:07.380 --> 19:10.380]  one half of what was under the Biden administration.
[19:10.380 --> 19:13.380]  And the numbers don't lie. Trump lies.
[19:13.380 --> 19:16.380]  So as they point out in this Reason article,
[19:16.380 --> 19:20.380]  a broader problem with Trump's trade policies is that the farmers' fates
[19:20.380 --> 19:23.380]  are tied to the occupant of the White House.
[19:23.380 --> 19:26.380]  Shouldn't farmers be able to depend on global export markets
[19:26.380 --> 19:31.380]  without waiting for the American president and his Chinese counterpart to strike a deal?
[19:31.380 --> 19:37.380]  So the facts are, and Travis, in this article there is a chart
[19:37.380 --> 19:44.380]  where people can see the soybean exports to China since 2017.
[19:44.380 --> 19:49.380]  Since 2017, America has exported more than 22 million metric tons of soybeans to China
[19:49.380 --> 19:52.380]  every year, except for two years.
[19:52.380 --> 19:56.380]  Those years, the first one was in 2018 when China cut off purchases
[19:56.380 --> 20:01.380]  in response to Trump's tariffs targeting American imports of Chinese goods.
[20:01.380 --> 20:05.380]  The second was this year when China did the same thing.
[20:05.380 --> 20:10.380]  If you look at the chart, you see that for the most part it's well above 22.
[20:10.380 --> 20:15.380]  In 2017, when he took office, it was 32.
[20:15.380 --> 20:20.380]  And then it dropped to 8 when he enacted the tariffs and retaliation.
[20:20.380 --> 20:24.380]  Then it went back up to 22, and then it went above 30 again.
[20:24.380 --> 20:26.380]  34 and 20.
[20:26.380 --> 20:33.380]  And then throughout the Biden administration, it went 27, 30, 26, 26.
[20:33.380 --> 20:38.380]  Then it dropped to 6 in retaliation of the tariffs again.
[20:38.380 --> 20:41.380]  That's what Trump has done with his tariffs.
[20:42.380 --> 20:51.380]  So Caroline Lovett comes out and says that they weren't buying soybeans under Biden.
[20:51.380 --> 20:54.380]  Well, exactly the opposite is true.
[20:54.380 --> 21:03.380]  And as the New American pointed out when they were talking about what's going on with NATO,
[21:03.380 --> 21:07.380]  they said, you have to understand that just because the Russians say it
[21:07.380 --> 21:09.380]  doesn't mean that it's untrue.
[21:09.380 --> 21:14.380]  And just because America says it doesn't make it true, or Trump or anybody else.
[21:14.380 --> 21:16.380]  And the same thing is true of this.
[21:16.380 --> 21:23.380]  Just because it was under Biden, he left that alone.
[21:23.380 --> 21:27.380]  And it's Trump who goes to war with them, who hurts them with this.
[21:27.380 --> 21:33.380]  So again, they don't want free stuff, said one of the people at the soybean farm.
[21:33.380 --> 21:37.380]  They just want free trade where they can make the deals themselves,
[21:37.380 --> 21:39.380]  get Washington out of it.
[21:39.380 --> 21:41.380]  And it's not just the soybean farmers.
[21:41.380 --> 21:44.380]  This is a problem across the board.
[21:44.380 --> 21:49.380]  This is something that's affecting all manufacturing, all retail.
[21:49.380 --> 21:53.380]  The deal that Trump recently struck with Chinese President Xi Jinping
[21:53.380 --> 21:58.380]  calls for China to purchase 12 million metric tons of soybean annually.
[21:58.380 --> 22:02.380]  Yes, that means that the deal that Trump has hailed as tremendous,
[22:03.380 --> 22:07.380]  quote unquote, would result in American farmers selling less than half as many
[22:07.380 --> 22:10.380]  soybeans as they did during the Biden years.
[22:10.380 --> 22:13.380]  Even that total is unlikely to materialize.
[22:13.380 --> 22:17.380]  Treasury Secretary Besant and US Trade Representative Greer have recently
[22:17.380 --> 22:21.380]  tempered these expectations, with both of them saying the purchases will be
[22:21.380 --> 22:23.380]  completed by the end of February.
[22:23.380 --> 22:27.380]  That's the same thing they said, again, back in September, if you remember,
[22:27.380 --> 22:33.380]  the betrayal of America, of American farmers in support of Javier Malay
[22:33.380 --> 22:35.380]  and Argentina.
[22:35.380 --> 22:38.380]  They gave him $20 billion.
[22:38.380 --> 22:41.380]  They can move very quickly if they want to.
[22:41.380 --> 22:43.380]  They can do things immediately.
[22:43.380 --> 22:47.380]  But instead, they said, when people got upset about the fact that he gave
[22:47.380 --> 22:52.380]  Javier Malay $20 billion, and immediately Argentina used that to
[22:52.380 --> 22:56.380]  subsidize their exports to China of soybeans.
[22:56.380 --> 23:01.380]  And China dropped to zero of American soybeans that they were buying.
[23:01.380 --> 23:03.380]  People said, what's going on with this?
[23:03.380 --> 23:08.380]  And so they came back and they said, well, we're going to give you 12.
[23:08.380 --> 23:11.380]  We gave Argentina 20, and we said we're going to work with private groups to
[23:11.380 --> 23:13.380]  give them another 20.
[23:13.380 --> 23:17.380]  We'll give you 12, in a situation that they caused.
[23:17.380 --> 23:20.380]  And yet, three months later, we just had Trump come out and say, yeah, we're
[23:21.380 --> 23:22.380]  going to finally do it.
[23:22.380 --> 23:23.380]  We've been thinking about doing that.
[23:23.380 --> 23:25.380]  Now we're going to finally do it.
[23:25.380 --> 23:28.380]  Except he's not going to do it until the end of February.
[23:28.380 --> 23:36.380]  And the same thing is true of the purchases of soybean from China.
[23:36.380 --> 23:41.380]  They said it probably won't happen until the end of February because they
[23:41.380 --> 23:44.380]  simply don't care about the farmers.
[23:44.380 --> 23:48.380]  So hang on just one second.
[23:48.380 --> 23:50.380]  This thing has locked up.
[23:50.380 --> 23:53.380]  So can't live with it, can't live without it.
[23:53.380 --> 24:02.380]  So anyway, one thing that Trump is concerned about, of course, is the let's
[24:02.380 --> 24:05.380]  see, where do we come back to?
[24:05.380 --> 24:06.380]  You know what?
[24:06.380 --> 24:09.380]  This thing is doing some really weird stuff.
[24:09.380 --> 24:10.380]  Let me try to get this.
[24:10.380 --> 24:11.380]  What's that?
[24:11.380 --> 24:13.380]  We're having technical issues all over.
[24:13.380 --> 24:16.380]  Oh, you're having some technical issues as well?
[24:16.380 --> 24:21.380]  So yeah, I've got a problem with Lance's chat program is not working right
[24:21.380 --> 24:22.380]  now.
[24:22.380 --> 24:26.380]  So we're not going to be able to do as many comments here.
[24:26.380 --> 24:29.380]  He has written a program to go through and grab chats.
[24:29.380 --> 24:31.380]  It's really actually pretty clever.
[24:31.380 --> 24:34.380]  On Rumble, North American House, Hippo, thank you very much for the tip.
[24:34.380 --> 24:39.380]  He says, not sure if you remember, but back in 2019 and yes, 2020, you had a
[24:39.380 --> 24:43.380]  beautiful rendition of Joy to the World as part of your Christmas bumper music.
[24:43.380 --> 24:45.380]  Was that your composition?
[24:45.380 --> 24:46.380]  Love and prayers.
[24:46.380 --> 24:47.380]  Thanks.
[24:47.380 --> 24:48.380]  I don't remember it.
[24:48.380 --> 24:51.380]  Sorry, no recollection of that.
[24:51.380 --> 24:54.380]  On Rumble, Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
[24:54.380 --> 24:56.380]  He said, we couldn't win against China.
[24:56.380 --> 24:59.380]  Taiwan is literally in their backyard.
[24:59.380 --> 25:02.380]  They have no supply chain issues to worry about like we do.
[25:02.380 --> 25:06.380]  They also have the home field advantage, which cannot be overstated.
[25:06.380 --> 25:08.380]  That's absolutely true.
[25:08.380 --> 25:13.380]  And they are absolutely determined to get that.
[25:13.380 --> 25:20.380]  As a matter of fact, you see some of the AI toys that are coming out of China.
[25:20.380 --> 25:23.380]  And they talked about how they got a lot of inappropriate stuff.
[25:23.380 --> 25:28.380]  A lot of times they'll start chatting up the kids about some weird kinky sex stuff.
[25:28.380 --> 25:30.380]  No joke.
[25:30.380 --> 25:34.380]  And I guess they were designing these for our schools.
[25:34.380 --> 25:40.380]  But they will also, when they ask them some questions about China, they said,
[25:40.380 --> 25:47.380]  why is it that they have drawn pictures of President Xi comparing him to Wayne the Pooh?
[25:47.380 --> 25:51.380]  And they got berated by the child who had asked that question.
[25:51.380 --> 25:53.380]  I don't know why a child would ask that question.
[25:53.380 --> 25:59.380]  But anybody who asks that question gets berated by the stuffed bear that is running on AI from China.
[25:59.380 --> 26:04.380]  Same thing about Taiwan, if you ask it any questions about Taiwan.
[26:04.380 --> 26:07.380]  Again, I can't understand why a kid would ask that.
[26:07.380 --> 26:15.380]  They were just showing the fact that it was going to push the Chinese government's values in many different ways on kids.
[26:15.380 --> 26:18.380]  Also on Rumble, Star Barkley, thank you very much for the tip.
[26:18.380 --> 26:20.380]  Marky Mark is wrong, says Star Barkley.
[26:20.380 --> 26:22.380]  Their economy is tanking.
[26:22.380 --> 26:24.380]  Their electric cars are death traps.
[26:24.380 --> 26:25.380]  They don't pay their workers.
[26:25.380 --> 26:29.380]  It's the land of shortcuts and facades.
[26:29.380 --> 26:32.380]  But I agree.
[26:32.380 --> 26:35.380]  I think that is happening globally.
[26:35.380 --> 26:39.380]  And I think that you look at what is happening with Europe, look what's happening with the U.S.
[26:39.380 --> 26:41.380]  and you look at what is happening with China.
[26:41.380 --> 26:49.380]  I think that everybody is in trouble with this complex infrastructure that we've created.
[26:49.380 --> 26:52.380]  However, I think they're in less trouble than most people are.
[26:52.380 --> 26:59.380]  When you look at this policy that Trump has had, it didn't reduce China's...
[27:00.380 --> 27:05.380]  China is actually selling 30% more into the U.S. than they did before the tariffs.
[27:05.380 --> 27:07.380]  So it's a complete failure.
[27:07.380 --> 27:13.380]  The big issue is that China has been selected going back to Nixon and, of course, Henry Kissinger,
[27:13.380 --> 27:16.380]  who was a globalist running the Nixon administration.
[27:16.380 --> 27:24.380]  They opened up to China and what they did was they had a plan to make China the beta test site for all this technocratic tyranny.
[27:24.380 --> 27:29.380]  And they have given them a monopoly in terms of energy,
[27:29.380 --> 27:34.380]  which means they've given them a monopoly in terms of manufacturing for all practical purposes.
[27:34.380 --> 27:39.380]  They have a tremendous cost advantage in terms of energy.
[27:39.380 --> 27:42.380]  And I think that's something they never had before with the China price.
[27:42.380 --> 27:46.380]  But I think that that is perhaps the most important thing right now.
[27:46.380 --> 27:51.380]  I mean, even if you get to the point where you've automated your factories,
[27:51.380 --> 27:53.380]  you're still going to have to have power.
[27:53.380 --> 27:57.380]  And they have an advantage with that, a big advantage with that.
[27:57.380 --> 28:06.380]  Well, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to see exactly what is wrong with this pad here and why it won't respond.
[28:06.380 --> 28:11.380]  It is, as somebody said, it basically does nothing, but it's indispensable.
[28:11.380 --> 28:15.380]  And it doesn't have any connection really to the Internet.
[28:15.380 --> 28:17.380]  It doesn't even have a clock on it.
[28:17.380 --> 28:20.380]  It's just there for me to be able to annotate notes.
[28:20.380 --> 28:23.380]  And my articles and notes are not showing up on this thing.
[28:23.380 --> 28:27.380]  So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
[28:50.380 --> 28:52.380]  Thank you.
[29:20.380 --> 29:22.380]  Thank you.

[31:27.380 --> 31:30.380]  Well, it's not just Trump's terror programs that are failing.
[31:30.380 --> 31:32.380]  It's also his revenge program.
[31:32.380 --> 31:37.380]  He has failed for the second time to indict Letitia James.
[31:37.380 --> 31:42.380]  And it's almost like he's got a Letitia derangement syndrome.
[31:42.380 --> 31:46.380]  Look, I get it. What she did was law fair. It was wrong.
[31:46.380 --> 31:48.380]  He ought to come after her for that.
[31:48.380 --> 31:50.380]  I'm sure there's a way that they could come after her
[31:50.380 --> 31:56.380]  for improper prosecutorial, you know, vengeance,
[31:56.380 --> 31:57.380]  which is what she was doing.
[31:57.380 --> 31:59.380]  Instead, he's decided he'll do the same thing himself.
[31:59.380 --> 32:02.380]  And it's pretty clear to everybody what is happening.
[32:02.380 --> 32:04.380]  And they run into multiple issues.
[32:04.380 --> 32:08.380]  Number one, you've got a lot of prosecutors who did not want to,
[32:08.380 --> 32:10.380]  professional prosecutors in the Justice Department
[32:10.380 --> 32:12.380]  didn't want anything to do with it.
[32:12.380 --> 32:15.380]  And so then he brought in his own lawyer
[32:15.380 --> 32:17.380]  who had no experience in this at all.
[32:17.380 --> 32:19.380]  She did it single-handedly.
[32:19.380 --> 32:21.380]  And she was improperly appointed,
[32:21.380 --> 32:24.380]  just like one judge ruled about Jack Smith.
[32:24.380 --> 32:26.380]  And so he threw out the indictments.
[32:26.380 --> 32:30.380]  And since nobody other than her was involved in it, they were gone.
[32:30.380 --> 32:34.380]  And so now they have tried to do this very quickly
[32:34.380 --> 32:36.380]  and put it to a different grand jury,
[32:36.380 --> 32:38.380]  which even refused to indict it.
[32:38.380 --> 32:40.380]  It wasn't that the judge threw it out.
[32:40.380 --> 32:42.380]  They said, we don't see a case that's here.
[32:42.380 --> 32:45.380]  And it is very clear that it is personal revenge.
[32:45.380 --> 32:48.380]  Trump even stupidly tweeted about it.
[32:48.380 --> 32:51.380]  Not tweeted, but put it out on his true social.
[32:51.380 --> 32:56.380]  So it was a very quick move to bring this back up again.
[32:56.380 --> 33:00.380]  As the retired federal judge said, Nancy Gertner,
[33:00.380 --> 33:02.380]  the prosecutors, in matter of policy,
[33:02.380 --> 33:04.380]  shouldn't be presenting charges before a grand jury
[33:04.380 --> 33:09.380]  unless they have a reasonable belief that they could win before a jury.
[33:09.380 --> 33:12.380]  Losing before a grand jury once
[33:12.380 --> 33:15.380]  is one of the best indications that there's no there there,
[33:15.380 --> 33:17.380]  that they don't have a case.
[33:17.380 --> 33:19.380]  Instead, they've done it again.
[33:19.380 --> 33:21.380]  And as we've frequently said,
[33:21.380 --> 33:24.380]  you can indict a ham sandwich with a grand jury
[33:24.380 --> 33:26.380]  because it's all your case
[33:26.380 --> 33:32.380]  and there's no defense contradicting anything that you say.
[33:32.380 --> 33:38.380]  And yet the Trump administration's had an incredibly low success rate
[33:38.380 --> 33:40.380]  with grand jury indictments.
[33:40.380 --> 33:42.380]  It's nearly 100% the rest of the time.
[33:42.380 --> 33:48.380]  They've had about 15% or so of theirs rejected.
[33:48.380 --> 33:54.380]  And so it is kind of clear that they don't have a case on any of these things.
[33:54.380 --> 33:59.380]  So Pam Bondi said, I reviewed over 30 statements in post.
[33:59.380 --> 34:00.380]  Oh, I'm sorry.
[34:00.380 --> 34:04.380]  That was what Trump tweeted out on Truth Social.
[34:04.380 --> 34:08.380]  He said, Pam, I have reviewed over 30 statements in post
[34:08.380 --> 34:11.380]  saying essentially the same old story as last time.
[34:11.380 --> 34:13.380]  All talk, no action. Nothing's being done.
[34:13.380 --> 34:16.380]  What about Comey, Adams, Shifty Shift, and Letitia?
[34:16.380 --> 34:18.380]  Nothing is being done.
[34:18.380 --> 34:22.380]  And so as a result, you had this lawyer put in very quickly
[34:22.380 --> 34:24.380]  and it wasn't done properly.
[34:24.380 --> 34:28.380]  Trump has also launched his gold card program.
[34:28.380 --> 34:31.380]  He was bragging about that the other day in his press conference
[34:31.380 --> 34:36.380]  where he was bragging about executing people off the coast of Venezuela.
[34:36.380 --> 34:40.380]  He wants billionaires to come into the country.
[34:40.380 --> 34:42.380]  He's looking for some new donors, evidently.
[34:42.380 --> 34:48.380]  The gold card visa program is basically an expedited green card program.
[34:48.380 --> 34:50.380]  It's not citizenship.
[34:50.380 --> 34:52.380]  But if you give them a million dollars
[34:52.380 --> 34:57.380]  and if it's an employer that is sponsoring it, the fee is $2 million.
[34:57.380 --> 35:01.380]  But they can give you what is essentially a green card.
[35:01.380 --> 35:05.380]  But instead of it taking years, it takes weeks.
[35:05.380 --> 35:08.380]  It does provide a path to citizenship,
[35:08.380 --> 35:11.380]  assuming that you aren't arrested by ICE.
[35:11.380 --> 35:13.380]  You probably wouldn't do it to the billionaires.
[35:13.380 --> 35:17.380]  Trump has also spoken of a coming platinum card,
[35:17.380 --> 35:21.380]  which would require a $5 million contribution to the U.S. government
[35:21.380 --> 35:26.380]  and would allow the approved applicants to live in the U.S. for up to 270 days a year
[35:26.380 --> 35:29.380]  and not pay taxes on non-U.S. income.
[35:29.380 --> 35:33.380]  The website encourages applicants to join the wait list.
[35:33.380 --> 35:37.380]  They said that the price may go up more than $5 million.
[35:37.380 --> 35:39.380]  It's kind of a case of not paying attention.
[35:39.380 --> 35:43.380]  I imagine people have $5 million of paying attention to what's going on with the U.S. dollar.
[35:43.380 --> 35:49.380]  They know that there's going to be massive inflation and devaluation of the purchasing price.
[35:49.380 --> 35:54.380]  And I guess that even goes to purchasing citizenship in the United States.
[35:54.380 --> 35:59.380]  The Department of Justice says it will challenge unconstitutional gun policies.
[35:59.380 --> 36:03.380]  But Reason says maybe it should stop defending these unconstitutional policies.
[36:03.380 --> 36:10.380]  So they're virtue signaling about creating a quote-unquote second amendment section.
[36:10.380 --> 36:17.380]  And so the Deputy Attorney General has been put in charge of that.
[36:17.380 --> 36:20.380]  They say they're going to ensure that law-abiding American citizens
[36:20.380 --> 36:23.380]  may responsibly possess, carry, and use firearms.
[36:23.380 --> 36:30.380]  They said the problem is the qualification of law-abiding, which the Constitution does not have.
[36:30.380 --> 36:38.380]  And it also does not have, we've also had Supreme Court cases that have basically struck that down as well.
[36:38.380 --> 36:43.380]  When they argued about that in the Supreme Court, they pointed out that if you're going to say it's law-abiding,
[36:43.380 --> 36:50.380]  well then it's just up to the whims of the legislature as to what they make in terms of,
[36:50.380 --> 36:55.380]  even if you say it's going to be a felony, you could basically make anything a felony.
[36:55.380 --> 37:01.380]  Harvey Silverglate pointed out that most of us are committing three felonies a day without knowing it.
[37:01.380 --> 37:07.380]  That makes it very concerning when you look at the ability of AI to audit us.
[37:07.380 --> 37:13.380]  It's really going to be as we have seen with the Trump administration and Pulte at the Housing Authority
[37:13.380 --> 37:16.380]  actually coming after Letitia James and others,
[37:16.380 --> 37:23.380]  going back and investigating the record with a fine-tooth comb using AI to create crimes.
[37:23.380 --> 37:26.380]  I mean, we've had a situation.
[37:26.380 --> 37:31.380]  A guy released some helium balloons on a beach and they charged him with a felony
[37:31.380 --> 37:33.380]  because they've got that on the books.
[37:33.380 --> 37:35.380]  So you can put anything on the books.
[37:35.380 --> 37:38.380]  We think of felonies as being serious crimes, but it doesn't have to be a serious crime.
[37:38.380 --> 37:43.380]  It could be releasing helium balloons on the beach in a certain area.
[37:44.380 --> 37:47.380]  And even if you don't go to jail,
[37:47.380 --> 37:54.380]  the rules that they have in a particular piece of code that was being referenced by the Department of Justice
[37:54.380 --> 38:02.380]  was that if you have been found guilty of a crime that could carry a penalty of more than a year in jail,
[38:02.380 --> 38:05.380]  then you're banned from having guns.
[38:05.380 --> 38:13.380]  And that doesn't mean even that you have a situation where you were sentenced to a year.
[38:13.380 --> 38:15.380]  And they give an example.
[38:15.380 --> 38:22.380]  One guy who challenged this in court, they found him guilty of some food stamp fraud.
[38:22.380 --> 38:26.380]  And it was a couple hundred dollars that he had stolen.
[38:26.380 --> 38:30.380]  And he had to pay restitution to the government for that, and they gave him a suspended sentence.
[38:30.380 --> 38:36.380]  However, he could have been sentenced for up to five years.
[38:36.380 --> 38:40.380]  And so because he had stolen some money through...

[39:41.380 --> 39:46.380]  The food stamp program, and because even though he had not gone to prison at all,
[39:46.380 --> 39:49.380]  and even though he had made restitution,
[39:49.380 --> 39:52.380]  they had triggered this effect so that he couldn't have a gun.
[39:52.380 --> 39:55.380]  So that's the point that Reason is making,
[39:55.380 --> 39:59.380]  that there is no law-abiding qualifier in the Second Amendment.
[39:59.380 --> 40:05.380]  Just like, you know, there's no qualification on the rights of due process
[40:05.380 --> 40:07.380]  and presumption of innocence and things like that.
[40:07.380 --> 40:11.380]  It's there for people, not for citizens.
[40:11.380 --> 40:14.380]  And that's why we were trying to get that across.
[40:14.380 --> 40:17.380]  I have a lot of people got very angry with me when I said,
[40:17.380 --> 40:21.380]  yeah, if somebody is violating the law, if they're here illegally,
[40:21.380 --> 40:25.380]  then give them due process and deport them.
[40:25.380 --> 40:28.380]  You know, it is not a felony.
[40:28.380 --> 40:32.380]  And they should not be treated as if they were mass murderers and terrorists.
[40:32.380 --> 40:35.380]  If they're mass murderers and terrorists, then do something about that.
[40:35.380 --> 40:40.380]  But instead, they have a habit of releasing dangerous people
[40:40.380 --> 40:42.380]  who are committing sexual offenses and other things like that.
[40:42.380 --> 40:44.380]  They put them out in the community,
[40:44.380 --> 40:50.380]  and then they conflate this with a separate charge of immigration.
[40:50.380 --> 40:52.380]  Those are separate crimes.
[40:52.380 --> 40:55.380]  Sometimes somebody is involved in both of those,
[40:55.380 --> 40:58.380]  but they need to be addressed individually
[40:58.380 --> 41:02.380]  and addressed to the individuals who are charged with these things.
[41:02.380 --> 41:06.380]  So they always want to conflate these things.
[41:06.380 --> 41:09.380]  Well, I thought that this was kind of amusing.
[41:09.380 --> 41:14.380]  You have, remember the guy who called himself Rachel?
[41:14.380 --> 41:18.380]  And he was the deputy HHS guy.
[41:18.380 --> 41:23.380]  And, you know, he dressed up, I think Biden made him an admiral,
[41:23.380 --> 41:27.380]  and I think he was celebrated in the media as the woman of the year by somebody.
[41:27.380 --> 41:29.380]  But he's not a woman.
[41:29.380 --> 41:31.380]  He's a cross-dressing guy.
[41:31.380 --> 41:34.380]  And so they have now changed the nameplate.
[41:34.380 --> 41:38.380]  They had him up as the deputy of HHS,
[41:38.380 --> 41:43.380]  and so his portrait was up on the wall as a former one.
[41:43.380 --> 41:47.380]  So just like Trump trolled Biden by not putting up his picture,
[41:47.380 --> 41:50.380]  but putting up a picture of the auto pen,
[41:50.380 --> 41:56.380]  they've now done the same thing with Richard Levine, who called himself Rachel.
[41:56.380 --> 41:59.380]  I called him Dick Devine.
[41:59.380 --> 42:07.380]  You know, just to me, when you look at the fact that this guy was a child psychologist cross-dressing,
[42:07.380 --> 42:10.380]  does that not raise flags with people?
[42:10.380 --> 42:13.380]  It's just amazing.
[42:13.380 --> 42:18.380]  But it is all, you know, this has created a real tempest in a teapot for NPR
[42:18.380 --> 42:20.380]  and a lot of others that are out there.
[42:20.380 --> 42:23.380]  And as the New American points out,
[42:23.380 --> 42:27.380]  Levin's spokesman was complaining about it to NPR.
[42:27.380 --> 42:31.380]  And they said, well, why does Levin still need a spokesman?
[42:31.380 --> 42:33.380]  It's not clear.
[42:33.380 --> 42:38.380]  But that pressing question aside, the spokesman told the science denying NPR,
[42:38.380 --> 42:44.380]  which refers to Levine as a her, that bigots were in charge of HHS.
[42:44.380 --> 42:52.380]  Well, they had put in a cross-dressing child psychologist, and they're still defending that.
[42:52.380 --> 42:56.380]  But this is the kind of virtue signaling that's being done by the Trump administration.
[42:56.380 --> 43:00.380]  If you remember, he was at the forefront of all this transgender stuff.
[43:00.380 --> 43:11.380]  He was pushing for Trani to get into one of his beauty contests back in the teens, you know, the 2012, 13, 14.
[43:11.380 --> 43:20.380]  And in 2014, you had Michael Flynn was pushing Transgenderism and Gay Pride Month at the Pentagon.
[43:20.380 --> 43:26.380]  So these people are it's just for your own consumption.
[43:26.380 --> 43:36.380]  And they're not really they're not really don't have any principles about this, but it is something that plays well to their base.
[43:36.380 --> 43:44.380]  Meanwhile, we have Baron Trump is secretly devoted to Andrew Tate, they say.
[43:44.380 --> 43:46.380]  He admires him quite a bit.
[43:46.380 --> 43:48.380]  And they spoke on the phone last year.
[43:48.380 --> 43:53.380]  And, of course, Andrew Tate had told people when Trump got in and says it's going to be fine.
[43:53.380 --> 44:02.380]  You might want to ask, though, why the Tate brothers, who had been accused of being pimps and traffickers,
[44:02.380 --> 44:04.380]  why they go to Romania in the first place?
[44:04.380 --> 44:07.380]  Well, because it had a reputation of a place we could get away with that.
[44:07.380 --> 44:12.380]  But is evidently egregious enough that not even in Romania were they safe.
[44:12.380 --> 44:26.380]  And so this created a big issue when you had a lot of the conservative influencers, people like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, were all about Andrew Tate.
[44:26.380 --> 44:33.380]  He has charges against him in the UK, charges of rape and trafficking in the UK.
[44:33.380 --> 44:34.380]  They have denied these.
[44:34.380 --> 44:45.380]  But the Romanian authorities accused him of trafficking more than 30 women and creating a criminal group for sexual exploitation.
[44:45.380 --> 44:49.380]  And he pretty much has admitted that he has done this type of thing.
[44:49.380 --> 44:54.380]  But I don't know even why people are surprised about that with Baron.
[44:54.380 --> 44:57.380]  Kind of going to be a chip off the old block, I guess.
[44:57.380 --> 45:00.380]  You know, Epstein's not around anymore.
[45:00.380 --> 45:02.380]  The next best thing is Andrew Tate.
[45:02.380 --> 45:07.380]  I don't know if he's connected with any intelligence agencies like Jeffrey Epstein.
[45:07.380 --> 45:17.380]  But Tate and his brother, under a criminal investigation since 2022, in a January 14th text message, he indicated that help was on the way.
[45:17.380 --> 45:21.380]  I had word from the Trump administration that they are on top of things.
[45:21.380 --> 45:25.380]  I've been told I'll be free soon, but Trump needs to see me in Miami.
[45:25.380 --> 45:28.380]  And when that happened, and he tweeted out, we're massively back.
[45:28.380 --> 45:34.380]  You remember that was a very divisive thing with a lot of people, conservatives.
[45:34.380 --> 45:36.380]  Well, that's kind of the news of where we are.
[45:36.380 --> 45:45.380]  And we're going to, when we come back, we're going to take a look at what is going on with NATO trying to push us into World War Three.
[45:45.380 --> 45:52.380]  Not a day goes by that you don't have some leader of a European state or leader of NATO in this particular case.
[45:52.380 --> 45:58.380]  Talking about how they want to go to war with Russia, how I get ready because your children are going to die.
[45:58.380 --> 46:00.380]  Truly is amazing.
[46:00.380 --> 46:06.380]  And in the meantime, we've got some push in the House and in the Senate.
[46:06.380 --> 46:09.380]  Bill has been introduced to get us out of NATO.
[46:09.380 --> 46:12.380]  It can't happen quickly enough, in my opinion.
[46:12.380 --> 46:13.380]  We'll be right back.
[46:22.380 --> 46:24.380]  Thank you.

[49:40.380 --> 49:47.860]  On Rumble, Denver Attaway says,
[49:47.860 --> 49:52.260]  psychology is not a real thing. It's one of the many labels of those that study
[49:52.260 --> 49:57.980]  and try to influence human behavior by wearing the robe of science when it's
[49:57.980 --> 50:02.660]  just a bunch of opinionated qualitative BS. Well, I agree, but I think that when
[50:02.660 --> 50:07.580]  you look at people like B.F. Skinner, these are people who have made a real
[50:07.580 --> 50:13.940]  science of deception and manipulation. I don't buy into the Freud stuff. I don't
[50:13.940 --> 50:21.260]  buy into the Jung stuff. You know, it's Jordan Peterson who was heavily into Jung
[50:21.260 --> 50:27.260]  and also R.F.K. Jr. and it was R.F.K. Jr.'s comments about it that got me to really
[50:27.260 --> 50:31.380]  understand what Jung was about because I wasn't interested enough to look into it.
[50:31.380 --> 50:37.740]  But, you know, when you look at B.F. Skinner, for example, his manipulation
[50:37.740 --> 50:42.260]  techniques and his book was Beyond Freedom and Dignity. And when they treat
[50:42.260 --> 50:47.580]  us as he's been able to use with positive operant conditioning and negative
[50:47.580 --> 50:52.020]  operant conditioning, he could train animals very, very effectively,
[50:52.460 --> 50:55.940]  especially with the positive conditioning. And they've used those same
[50:55.940 --> 51:00.660]  tactics on us. As a matter of fact, the way I became familiar with it was it was
[51:00.660 --> 51:05.580]  required reading for Karen when she was getting her master's degree because
[51:05.660 --> 51:10.380]  basically they studied how they can manipulate children and control them.
[51:10.500 --> 51:13.580]  That's the whole point. I want to tell you about that. And that's what's going
[51:13.580 --> 51:20.220]  on with all the LGBT stuff as well. So it can be a very powerful technique,
[51:20.820 --> 51:23.900]  especially when it's combined with something like artificial intelligence.
[51:24.380 --> 51:31.700]  So it is very dangerous. On kick, Pezzano Vante, 1776, says NATO means
[51:31.700 --> 51:36.260]  that neocon aggressor terrorist organization. That's right. Well, they do
[51:36.260 --> 51:42.060]  have a NATO bill that has been introduced in the House by Thomas Massie,
[51:42.620 --> 51:51.140]  in the Senate by Mike Lee. And they both call it the NATO Act. But they have
[51:51.140 --> 51:56.780]  unpacked NATO as not a trusted organization, which I think is good.
[51:56.980 --> 52:00.660]  I don't know how many people are going to sign on to that. But it's good that
[52:00.660 --> 52:04.100]  it's there. We need to have that discussion. And here's why. As I said,
[52:04.100 --> 52:09.500]  the former leader of a European country, that would be the Netherlands, Mark
[52:09.500 --> 52:12.660]  Rutte, if you remember, we had this discussion a couple of years ago when he
[52:12.660 --> 52:18.300]  was doing this, and they threw him out. He actually even wound up creating a new
[52:18.300 --> 52:23.340]  party of farmers and people who understood the threat to farming, who
[52:23.340 --> 52:28.860]  wanted to be able to eat. Mark Rutte had basically gone through to implement the
[52:28.860 --> 52:34.860]  design of the World Economic Forum and to ban regular farming. They wanted
[52:34.860 --> 52:37.900]  everybody getting their food from Bill Gates. And Bill Gates, of course,
[52:37.900 --> 52:42.980]  was a partner with an organization, their picnic, which also was being run
[52:42.980 --> 52:47.140]  by in-laws of Mark Rutte, who was the prime minister of Netherlands at the
[52:47.140 --> 52:54.540]  time. And Rutte was even criminalizing fertilizer coming into the country, as
[52:54.540 --> 52:58.900]  if it was fentanyl or something. I mean, this was the insanity, the obsession
[52:59.380 --> 53:03.020]  with this fake climate MacGuffin. And in the name of the climate MacGuffin, he
[53:03.020 --> 53:07.540]  was going to shut down all real farming. And in the Netherlands, it was the most
[53:07.540 --> 53:12.460]  productive farmland in all of Europe. Very small amount of farmland, but they
[53:12.460 --> 53:16.820]  were very, very productive. So the people organized and pushed him out. And
[53:16.820 --> 53:21.700]  then where did he go? Well, NATO immediately recognized his talent of
[53:21.700 --> 53:28.300]  despising his own people and put him in charge of NATO. And he's now just said,
[53:28.300 --> 53:35.860]  we must prepare for a scale of war that our grandparents endured. And so again,
[53:35.860 --> 53:40.180]  he says, we've got to prepare for World War I or World War II. Let's do that.
[53:40.900 --> 53:48.140]  Let's... Europe is suicidal. And this national security statement that was put
[53:48.140 --> 53:53.500]  out by the White House that Trump signed basically makes that point. It's not just
[53:53.500 --> 53:58.820]  about the war, but it's also about the uncontrolled immigration. Well, I won't
[53:58.820 --> 54:05.180]  say it's uncontrolled. They want it to happen. And it is a kind of suicide in
[54:05.180 --> 54:11.300]  many different ways. So Mark Ruta says that war is at Europe's door. And the
[54:11.300 --> 54:15.740]  time to act is now. Again, he tried to kill his own people, conspiring with
[54:15.740 --> 54:22.340]  other globalists, and he's still doing the same thing. And so Russia is in NATO's
[54:22.340 --> 54:29.340]  sights. And they may point to it as passive aggressive. They use surrogates
[54:29.340 --> 54:33.340]  to do this. But we know that this is what's happening. And when Thomas Massey
[54:33.340 --> 54:37.140]  introduced his bill, he laid it out. He said, if you look at the continued
[54:37.140 --> 54:41.340]  aggression of NATO, the violation of promises saying we're not going to push
[54:41.340 --> 54:47.100]  any closer. And yet they pushed right up and into areas of the former Soviet
[54:47.100 --> 54:52.100]  Union after the Soviet disunion. Ruta warned that the UK and other allies are
[54:52.100 --> 54:57.140]  next in Russia's sights. Why is it that these lying warmongers always want to
[54:57.140 --> 55:01.420]  sell you this domino theory thing? That's their favorite way of dragging you into
[55:01.500 --> 55:09.140]  war. He said member states must rapidly boost their defense spending. Speaking
[55:09.140 --> 55:14.700]  at a security conference in Berlin, he said, we are Russia's next target. I don't
[55:14.700 --> 55:20.940]  believe that at all, actually. But they want to make that case so they can start
[55:20.940 --> 55:25.500]  the war. He said, I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don't
[55:25.500 --> 55:30.620]  feel the urgency. Too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time
[55:30.620 --> 55:35.820]  for action is now. Conflict is at our door. No, you took it to the door of
[55:35.820 --> 55:41.180]  Russia. You're the ones who pushed the conflict to the door of Russia. He said,
[55:41.180 --> 55:47.380]  Russia has brought war back to Europe and we must be prepared. And again, these
[55:47.380 --> 55:50.980]  are the people who moved the conflict to the door. Ruta predicted that Russia
[55:50.980 --> 55:54.220]  could engage the alliance in direct conflict within the next five years.
[55:55.020 --> 55:59.420]  Again, these are the people who are constantly pushing with longer range
[55:59.420 --> 56:05.980]  weapons and all the rest of stuff, escalating it, funding it. And so this
[56:05.980 --> 56:11.700]  is coming from the chief of NATO. And this is reported by the Sun out of the
[56:11.700 --> 56:18.260]  UK. They said, this is not scaremongering. No, it isn't, actually. It is insanity.
[56:18.940 --> 56:25.140]  It is a declaration of intent, they said. And so again, they will make it happen
[56:25.420 --> 56:29.380]  sometime within the next five years. And they need to do that because people in
[56:29.380 --> 56:33.060]  Europe are figuring out what their leaders are doing to them. They're going
[56:33.060 --> 56:39.820]  to come for those leaders. And so they have to take us to war. As Gerald
[56:39.820 --> 56:43.260]  Slinty said, you know, when people realize they've lost everything, they
[56:43.260 --> 56:47.060]  lose it. So the one of the ways that you stop that from happening is to take
[56:47.060 --> 56:51.100]  people to war. France's top general recently warned that the country must be
[56:51.100 --> 56:56.980]  ready to, quote, lose our children. He's not gonna lose his kids. He's gonna kill
[56:56.980 --> 57:03.500]  your kids. As the reality of war against Russia looms larger. Ruto was speaking in
[57:03.500 --> 57:08.060]  the wake of an astonishing tirade directed at Europe from America. And
[57:08.300 --> 57:15.100]  again, it's interesting that they will pull out selective quotes from it. They
[57:15.100 --> 57:19.220]  won't show you the entire document because the entire document backs up how
[57:19.220 --> 57:25.820]  they get to those particular quotes that trouble the Europeans. It's an excellent
[57:25.820 --> 57:30.620]  document. I absolutely agree with that. It was published only by RT. Western
[57:30.620 --> 57:34.460]  media will not publish it. They will just say, well, Trump really doesn't like
[57:35.020 --> 57:38.220]  Europe. And he says this bad thing about them and that bad thing about them. But
[57:38.220 --> 57:43.540]  they don't let you read the document. You have to go to RT to see that. And when
[57:43.540 --> 57:47.140]  you see the document, you understand how they get to the point where he doesn't
[57:47.460 --> 57:52.540]  have any respect for these leaders. But again, when they say you're gonna have
[57:52.540 --> 57:59.740]  to lose your children. Again, remember the quote because this is something that's
[57:59.740 --> 58:04.460]  gonna be coming up over and over again. War is when they tell you who to fight.
[58:05.260 --> 58:09.460]  Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself. When they tell you you're gonna
[58:09.460 --> 58:14.540]  lose your children, maybe that's when you should figure it out. So the document has
[58:14.540 --> 58:20.780]  talked about how the European leaders are moving into civilizational erasure and
[58:20.780 --> 58:25.740]  they blasted Europe's woke censorship and mass migration policies. All these
[58:25.740 --> 58:26.260]  things are true.
[58:50.780 --> 59:02.220]  Cosino, America, social casino, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply, multiply the
[59:02.220 --> 59:06.500]  cash scratch tickets from the Texas lottery. You could multiply the cash by
[59:06.500 --> 59:12.500]  30 50 100 or even 200 times. And when you multiply the cash, you multiply the
[59:12.500 --> 59:17.420]  celebration with top prizes from 60,000 up to a million dollars. It's the easiest
[59:17.420 --> 59:21.740]  way to multiply your luck and enter for a chance to win a VIP I heart experience.
[59:21.820 --> 59:26.460]  Play X. The cash scratch tickets today must be 18 or older. Play responsibly.
[59:27.500 --> 59:33.060]  But they will just give you little tiny snippets of pejorative phrases and they
[59:33.060 --> 59:37.980]  won't let you see the entire document. Um, mainstream media is just afraid to show
[59:37.980 --> 59:42.460]  it, but it's all because it's all true. And the White House is on the side of
[59:42.460 --> 59:45.460]  truth, which is astonishing for a change.
[59:46.340 --> 59:51.100]  Trump disparaged Europe as decaying. Its leaders is weak. Ruta in Berlin insisted
[59:51.100 --> 59:55.380]  that America's safety relies on a stable Europe, even if Trump doesn't know it.
[59:56.220 --> 59:59.420]  Well, it's going to be a stable Europe. They're going to have to get a different
[59:59.940 --> 01:00:05.340]  group of leaders there. A Herculean diplomatic effort is ongoing to forge a
[01:00:05.340 --> 01:00:11.700]  peace deal between Russia and Ukraine says the sun and it is exactly the
[01:00:11.700 --> 01:00:17.700]  opposite. You have the leaders of France, UK, Germany, all meeting together to see
[01:00:17.700 --> 01:00:22.540]  how they can continue the war and escalate the war into something that is
[01:00:22.540 --> 01:00:26.500]  equivalent to World War one or two. That's what's really going on.
[01:00:27.060 --> 01:00:29.940]  This is not an effort to forge a peace deal.
[01:00:30.540 --> 01:00:34.740]  Zelensky is not the least bit interested in a peace deal and neither is Manuel
[01:00:35.620 --> 01:00:40.100]  Macron or Fred Mertz in Germany or Keir Starmer in the UK.
[01:00:40.100 --> 01:00:44.260]  None of them are the least bit interested in a peace deal.
[01:00:44.260 --> 01:00:46.580]  They are coming together to push for war.
[01:00:46.580 --> 01:00:50.860]  So Thomas Massey has introduced the bill in the House that was already introduced
[01:00:50.860 --> 01:00:55.820]  by by Bill Lee in the Senate to get the US out of NATO.
[01:00:56.220 --> 01:00:58.460]  Not a trusted organization.
[01:00:59.900 --> 01:01:01.940]  And so that happened on Wednesday.
[01:01:02.580 --> 01:01:06.100]  And again, could there be common cause with Trump and Massey?
[01:01:06.940 --> 01:01:08.940]  I doubt it.
[01:01:08.940 --> 01:01:13.100]  Anyway, Trump would probably even though he's he doesn't like the NATO thing,
[01:01:13.100 --> 01:01:16.660]  even though in the past he has teased it, he's not serious about it.
[01:01:16.660 --> 01:01:18.180]  He's too controlled.
[01:01:18.180 --> 01:01:21.380]  And even if they were on the right side, I think that Trump,
[01:01:21.780 --> 01:01:24.500]  because it's coming from Massey, would oppose it.
[01:01:25.620 --> 01:01:30.580]  So the text of the bills, Massey explains why he says
[01:01:31.100 --> 01:01:33.140]  shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S.
[01:01:33.180 --> 01:01:36.460]  Secretary of State James Baker made assurances to Soviet Union leader
[01:01:36.460 --> 01:01:40.380]  Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand eastward.
[01:01:40.940 --> 01:01:44.940]  Yet despite its waning, relevant relevance and prior assurance
[01:01:44.940 --> 01:01:50.020]  to the contrary, NATO began a profound eastward expansion in 1999,
[01:01:50.020 --> 01:01:55.460]  which, as of 2025, culminated in a land border with the Russian Federation
[01:01:55.460 --> 01:01:59.860]  that exceeds 1500 miles and encircles the Baltic Sea.
[01:02:00.420 --> 01:02:03.300]  Successive military doctrines and national security
[01:02:03.300 --> 01:02:06.980]  strategies have framed the expansion of NATO
[01:02:07.380 --> 01:02:10.300]  as a pervasive threat to Russian security.
[01:02:10.940 --> 01:02:14.260]  In a speech before the Munich Security Conference in 2007,
[01:02:14.780 --> 01:02:18.380]  the president of the Russian Federation, Putin described NATO's expansion
[01:02:18.540 --> 01:02:22.340]  as a serious provocation in reference to the assurances
[01:02:22.340 --> 01:02:24.460]  previously made by the U.S.
[01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:28.180]  The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022
[01:02:28.660 --> 01:02:31.100]  demonstrates the Russian Federation's willingness
[01:02:31.100 --> 01:02:34.780]  to employ military action in response to perceived security threats.
[01:02:35.260 --> 01:02:38.380]  NATO members have refused to rule out further expansion.
[01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:42.660]  And so the reality is that, you know, the dominoes have been falling
[01:02:42.660 --> 01:02:47.340]  for 22 years before Russia pushed back.
[01:02:48.580 --> 01:02:52.140]  And as the new American says, just because the Russians say it
[01:02:52.900 --> 01:02:54.700]  doesn't make it false.
[01:02:54.700 --> 01:02:56.700]  That is exactly what has happened.
[01:02:57.340 --> 01:02:57.900]  And so the U.S.
[01:02:57.900 --> 01:03:01.340]  needs to exit NATO because NATO is untrustworthy,
[01:03:01.660 --> 01:03:03.940]  says the new American, and they're right.
[01:03:03.940 --> 01:03:06.220]  American participation continues to risk U.S.
[01:03:06.220 --> 01:03:08.860]  involvement in foreign wars, said Massey.
[01:03:09.620 --> 01:03:11.940]  Well, leaked files have shown that the U.S.
[01:03:11.940 --> 01:03:15.260]  wants to persuade four nations to leave the EU.
[01:03:15.980 --> 01:03:18.860]  The countries seen as targets to follow Brexit
[01:03:19.380 --> 01:03:22.340]  are Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland.
[01:03:23.060 --> 01:03:26.100]  Well, they do have a lot of people in Poland.
[01:03:26.660 --> 01:03:29.900]  That have been allied with the EU and with a globalist.
[01:03:29.900 --> 01:03:31.300]  Donald Tusk is one of them.
[01:03:31.300 --> 01:03:34.340]  But there's been a lot of saber rattling from Poland.
[01:03:34.340 --> 01:03:36.380]  They've tried to take the lead there.
[01:03:36.380 --> 01:03:37.700]  But there is a lot of pushback
[01:03:37.700 --> 01:03:40.340]  with the people in Austria and Hungary, for sure.
[01:03:40.340 --> 01:03:44.060]  The U.S. should work more with four countries with traditions of dissent
[01:03:44.220 --> 01:03:48.580]  against the EU with the goal of pulling them away from the EU, said the document.
[01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:53.220]  But there's disputes as to whether or not this is an official document.
[01:03:53.940 --> 01:03:57.780]  The White House denied the existence of any version
[01:03:57.780 --> 01:04:02.260]  of the national security strategy other than the one that was published.
[01:04:03.020 --> 01:04:06.260]  No alternative private or classified version exists.
[01:04:06.700 --> 01:04:09.700]  Trump is transparent and put his signature on the one NSS
[01:04:09.700 --> 01:04:14.060]  that clearly instructs the U.S. government to execute on his defined
[01:04:14.060 --> 01:04:16.540]  priorities that are there.
[01:04:16.540 --> 01:04:19.420]  The unclassified security strategy that is rumored to be out there
[01:04:19.460 --> 01:04:21.220]  says the days of the U.S.
[01:04:21.220 --> 01:04:24.180]  propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.
[01:04:25.260 --> 01:04:28.300]  It is believed to have said after the end of the Cold War,
[01:04:28.300 --> 01:04:30.740]  American foreign policy elites convinced themselves
[01:04:30.740 --> 01:04:33.180]  the permanent American domination of the entire world
[01:04:33.700 --> 01:04:35.860]  was in the best interests of our country.
[01:04:36.420 --> 01:04:38.620]  Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern
[01:04:38.620 --> 01:04:41.700]  only if their activities directly threaten our interests.
[01:04:42.420 --> 01:04:46.060]  This is the logic behind the focus on policy policing
[01:04:46.100 --> 01:04:50.500]  in America's hemisphere, giving it the right to pressure Venezuela
[01:04:50.500 --> 01:04:54.860]  as it has done in recent months by destroying alleged drug
[01:04:54.860 --> 01:04:58.820]  running boats and building up a huge military presence in the region.
[01:04:59.620 --> 01:05:02.460]  So, again, it's not that they're for peace.
[01:05:02.460 --> 01:05:05.020]  It's just that they want to pick a sphere of influence
[01:05:05.020 --> 01:05:07.860]  where they can actually win, I think.
[01:05:07.860 --> 01:05:09.220]  That's the reality of what we're seeing here.
[01:05:09.220 --> 01:05:14.020]  Well, the real war, folks, is coming in terms of the Artelect War.
[01:05:14.540 --> 01:05:19.260]  And it's amazing to me to see how really, how accurately
[01:05:19.260 --> 01:05:23.740]  Hugo de Gares war came this thing out as somebody who was very early
[01:05:23.740 --> 01:05:26.220]  an expert in artificial intelligence.
[01:05:26.620 --> 01:05:28.220]  He could see the negative side of this.
[01:05:28.220 --> 01:05:32.980]  Ray Kurzweil was always a Pollyanna optimist
[01:05:32.980 --> 01:05:35.140]  when it came to artificial intelligence.
[01:05:35.140 --> 01:05:41.180]  And yet, Hugo de Gares said, I can see some real big issues with it
[01:05:41.820 --> 01:05:46.500]  and how it's going to impact in a negative way the masses of people.
[01:05:46.500 --> 01:05:48.580]  And I think they're going to push back on this.
[01:05:48.580 --> 01:05:50.820]  And so we're going to talk about that.
[01:05:50.820 --> 01:05:55.380]  And we're going to talk about how Alaska is working to set up
[01:05:55.380 --> 01:06:00.780]  a surveillance state there, a bunch of Republicans in Alaska.
[01:06:01.260 --> 01:06:05.540]  Yeah, it's always coming to us from the people that you think are not for this.
[01:06:05.540 --> 01:06:06.780]  And yet they are.
[01:06:06.780 --> 01:06:08.660]  We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
[01:06:41.180 --> 01:07:10.540]  You're listening to the David Knight show.
[01:09:41.180 --> 01:09:43.860]  You're listening to the David Knight show.

[01:10:24.660 --> 01:10:30.060]  you could multiply the cash by 30, 50, 100 or even 200 times.

[01:11:07.580 --> 01:11:08.660]  Welcome back, folks.
[01:11:08.660 --> 01:11:10.780]  We've got some comments here from Denver Attaway.
[01:11:11.260 --> 01:11:13.580]  Need money to fund your technocratic control grid?
[01:11:13.780 --> 01:11:17.500]  Build out a wag the dog war will help marshal those funds.
[01:11:18.020 --> 01:11:19.500]  Yeah, that's right.
[01:11:19.500 --> 01:11:22.140]  Well, they've already talked about it as the equivalent of war.
[01:11:22.500 --> 01:11:25.340]  And this is what Steve Altman did when he went to Congress is
[01:11:25.340 --> 01:11:26.820]  and you're going to have to do this.
[01:11:26.820 --> 01:11:31.500]  Are you going to lose all of your economic as well as your military dominance
[01:11:32.820 --> 01:11:34.700]  to China if you don't do this with AI?
[01:11:34.700 --> 01:11:38.740]  So they have presented it as an existential threat to government.
[01:11:39.260 --> 01:11:42.740]  And it is the thing that they need for their technocracy.
[01:11:42.740 --> 01:11:45.500]  So they are going to pull out the
[01:11:46.580 --> 01:11:48.740]  the checkbook and give them anything that they want.
[01:11:48.740 --> 01:11:52.660]  And they will move the rules for them any way that they wish as well.
[01:11:52.860 --> 01:11:56.500]  That's why I'm interested to see what Gerald Slinty's take on this is,
[01:11:56.500 --> 01:11:58.860]  because I said from the beginning
[01:11:58.860 --> 01:12:03.660]  that I thought that this AI bubble was this AI thing was a stock bubble,
[01:12:04.380 --> 01:12:05.500]  whether it was real or not.
[01:12:05.500 --> 01:12:07.020]  It was a stock bubble.
[01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:11.100]  And yet I'm kind of thinking that they're going to continue to prop this up.
[01:12:11.660 --> 01:12:13.980]  And we're going to talk about that coming up. Go ahead.
[01:12:15.980 --> 01:12:18.300]  And we have Baba Nova.
[01:12:18.620 --> 01:12:21.980]  The question is, why would Trump drain the swamp when he controls it?
[01:12:23.020 --> 01:12:23.900]  Well, he didn't.
[01:12:23.900 --> 01:12:25.700]  Yeah, he didn't drink the first time.
[01:12:25.700 --> 01:12:26.740]  Not at all.
[01:12:26.740 --> 01:12:28.180]  I was not doing it this time either.
[01:12:28.180 --> 01:12:31.860]  Gone off the road says Trump hasn't drained anything but our 401Ks
[01:12:32.140 --> 01:12:33.700]  and small businesses.
[01:12:33.700 --> 01:12:36.180]  He pretty much drained them and farms and things like that.
[01:12:36.180 --> 01:12:41.020]  Well, time picked AI, actually AI architects
[01:12:41.660 --> 01:12:43.580]  as persons of the year.
[01:12:43.580 --> 01:12:46.900]  This is their chance to celebrate as heroes
[01:12:47.540 --> 01:12:49.740]  all these Silicon Valley billionaires.
[01:12:49.740 --> 01:12:53.740]  They began with hero worship of Jensen Wang, the CEO of Nvidia.
[01:12:54.380 --> 01:12:59.780]  And this is a guy who really has I mean, I've got pictures of him.
[01:12:59.900 --> 01:13:01.460]  I didn't put it in the thing here.
[01:13:01.460 --> 01:13:04.380]  I've seen pictures of him, you know, wearing his leather vest
[01:13:04.620 --> 01:13:08.700]  and signing the chests of of young girls who are waiting
[01:13:08.700 --> 01:13:12.180]  to get his autograph and stuff like he's some kind of a rock star.
[01:13:12.220 --> 01:13:14.660]  And they do seem as rock star.
[01:13:14.660 --> 01:13:18.780]  So not long ago, the former engineer ran a successful but semi obscure outfit
[01:13:19.260 --> 01:13:21.900]  that specialized in graphics processors for video games.
[01:13:21.900 --> 01:13:25.860]  Today, Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world.
[01:13:26.460 --> 01:13:28.940]  Thanks to the near monopoly
[01:13:28.940 --> 01:13:32.780]  on the advanced chips powering the AI boom, transforming the planet
[01:13:32.780 --> 01:13:36.900]  more than just a corporate juggernaut, Nvidia has become an instrument
[01:13:36.900 --> 01:13:40.180]  of statecraft operating at the nerve
[01:13:40.820 --> 01:13:45.060]  at the nexus of advanced technology, diplomacy and geopolitics.
[01:13:45.860 --> 01:13:49.180]  You're taking over the world, Jensen said President Trump
[01:13:49.820 --> 01:13:53.180]  on a regular late night phone call.
[01:13:53.860 --> 01:13:55.020]  They've become buddies.
[01:13:55.020 --> 01:13:56.820]  And that's the key.
[01:13:56.820 --> 01:13:58.620]  That's why I think this is different.
[01:13:59.700 --> 01:14:03.820]  Because just like these military industrial complex companies
[01:14:03.820 --> 01:14:07.820]  that are making the aircraft or, you know, whatever the latest fighter jet is,
[01:14:08.700 --> 01:14:11.940]  they don't really have the same market forces involved there.
[01:14:12.420 --> 01:14:16.460]  And so when you look at AI as they move into becoming
[01:14:16.460 --> 01:14:20.900]  an instrument of statecraft, I think that basically insulates them
[01:14:21.100 --> 01:14:23.580]  from what's going on with market realities.
[01:14:24.060 --> 01:14:26.860]  So I don't really I'm not so sure that we're going to have a
[01:14:27.740 --> 01:14:29.980]  a stock market crash of this AI bubble.
[01:14:29.980 --> 01:14:31.700]  It certainly has been a bubble.
[01:14:31.700 --> 01:14:34.140]  But I think they're going to pump the bubble up even more
[01:14:34.140 --> 01:14:35.900]  by infusing a lot of money.
[01:14:35.900 --> 01:14:38.340]  When you look at the Genesis Act,
[01:14:39.460 --> 01:14:42.620]  they're treating this as if it was a combination
[01:14:43.260 --> 01:14:47.060]  of the Apollo space program going to the moon,
[01:14:47.060 --> 01:14:50.380]  as well as the development of the nuclear bomb Manhattan project.
[01:14:51.140 --> 01:14:55.140]  When they're talking about it in those terms and talking about sweeping aside
[01:14:55.140 --> 01:14:58.460]  any regulation of this, meaning the data centers,
[01:14:58.460 --> 01:15:01.860]  because that, folks, is where we could shut this thing down.
[01:15:02.900 --> 01:15:05.140]  They have to have
[01:15:05.140 --> 01:15:07.780]  power to run this stuff, massive amounts of power.
[01:15:08.660 --> 01:15:12.780]  And if people realize the threat that these data centers present
[01:15:12.940 --> 01:15:15.300]  to their way of life,
[01:15:15.300 --> 01:15:19.300]  not just the water usage and pollution or the light pollution
[01:15:19.300 --> 01:15:22.020]  or the rest of the stuff, but the
[01:15:22.700 --> 01:15:26.180]  the cost of electricity and making it
[01:15:26.500 --> 01:15:29.660]  essentially unavailable to us, creating this shortage of electricity.
[01:15:29.940 --> 01:15:35.500]  The amount of energy that needs to be added is astronomical.
[01:15:35.700 --> 01:15:37.900]  And there's nothing yet that's being done.
[01:15:38.220 --> 01:15:41.300]  These people are making all these projections about how much energy needs
[01:15:41.300 --> 01:15:44.860]  to be provided, how much energy they're going to need in just the next three
[01:15:44.860 --> 01:15:48.500]  to five years. And when you go back and you do the math
[01:15:48.500 --> 01:15:51.260]  and look at how many different power plants are going to have to be added.
[01:15:51.580 --> 01:15:54.900]  Nuclear power plants, for example, because they have said,
[01:15:54.900 --> 01:15:58.260]  well, it's off limits for us to have any cheap coal power plants,
[01:15:58.780 --> 01:15:59.820]  unlike the Chinese.
[01:15:59.820 --> 01:16:02.980]  But the it just isn't happening.
[01:16:03.820 --> 01:16:06.420]  And so they're looking at various alternatives.
[01:16:06.420 --> 01:16:07.580]  We'll talk about some of those.
[01:16:07.580 --> 01:16:09.620]  But I think that's going to insulate them.
[01:16:09.620 --> 01:16:12.820]  I'm interested to see what Gerald Slenty has to say in a third hour about that.
[01:16:13.420 --> 01:16:16.180]  This year, the debate is how to wield AI responsibly.
[01:16:16.740 --> 01:16:21.300]  And it gave way to a sprint to develop it as quickly as possible.
[01:16:22.740 --> 01:16:25.700]  Wang's tells Time magazine every industry needs it.
[01:16:26.020 --> 01:16:27.740]  Every company uses it.
[01:16:27.740 --> 01:16:30.580]  Every nation needs to build it.
[01:16:30.580 --> 01:16:32.580]  Talk about self-serving hype.
[01:16:32.580 --> 01:16:33.900]  That is some of the worst.
[01:16:33.900 --> 01:16:37.780]  So this is the single most impactful technology of our time.
[01:16:38.540 --> 01:16:42.460]  So as a guy who has ridden this bubble to the top,
[01:16:43.300 --> 01:16:46.460]  chat GPT has surpassed 800 million weekly users.
[01:16:47.060 --> 01:16:49.220]  AI wrote millions of lines of code.
[01:16:49.220 --> 01:16:52.020]  And we'll talk more about that in a moment here.
[01:16:52.020 --> 01:16:55.780]  Aided lab scientists generated viral songs and spurred companies
[01:16:55.780 --> 01:16:59.340]  to reexamine the strategies or risk falling behind.
[01:16:59.340 --> 01:17:02.420]  So this is. The fear of missing out
[01:17:03.540 --> 01:17:06.860]  the space race, the arms race aspect of this, they're all there.
[01:17:07.700 --> 01:17:11.460]  And yet, when you look at the realities of this, there's an excellent
[01:17:12.340 --> 01:17:15.020]  piece by a guy who has
[01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:17.740]  got several decades as a software consultant
[01:17:18.580 --> 01:17:21.580]  and what he found when he used the AI.
[01:17:21.660 --> 01:17:24.420]  And I'm not just talking about, you know, the code.
[01:17:24.420 --> 01:17:26.460]  It wasn't necessarily he was able to write code with it,
[01:17:26.860 --> 01:17:28.820]  and he was able to get it out very, very quickly.
[01:17:29.420 --> 01:17:32.140]  But the problem is a lot more subtle than that.
[01:17:32.620 --> 01:17:35.980]  Researchers have found that AI can scheme, deceive or blackmail
[01:17:36.620 --> 01:17:38.780]  where skeptics spied a bubble.
[01:17:38.780 --> 01:17:42.940]  The revolution's leaders saw the dawn of a new era of abundance.
[01:17:42.980 --> 01:17:44.220]  No, that's not the case.
[01:17:44.220 --> 01:17:46.860]  Abundant government in every aspect of your life.
[01:17:47.500 --> 01:17:50.620]  There's a belief that the world's GDP is somehow limited to one hundred
[01:17:50.620 --> 01:17:52.940]  trillion dollars, said Jensen Wayne.
[01:17:53.540 --> 01:17:55.460]  He said AI is going to cause that one hundred
[01:17:55.460 --> 01:17:58.300]  trillion dollars to become five hundred trillion dollars.

[01:18:59.660 --> 01:19:02.420]  Again, the Genesis Act is going to open
[01:19:02.420 --> 01:19:05.060]  the floodgates of fiat money.
[01:19:05.060 --> 01:19:08.140]  We will be enslaved in terms of debt
[01:19:09.060 --> 01:19:13.180]  to create the tools that will be used to enslave us
[01:19:13.180 --> 01:19:15.380]  in a police and surveillance state.
[01:19:16.500 --> 01:19:18.820]  Time goes on to celebrate these technocratic rewards.
[01:19:18.820 --> 01:19:22.340]  People like Zuckerberg and Altman, all of them,
[01:19:22.340 --> 01:19:27.900]  as it regurgitates all this PR hype from these same companies.
[01:19:29.740 --> 01:19:30.580]  This is the way they put it.
[01:19:30.580 --> 01:19:35.020]  Once they announced for delivering the age of thinking machines.
[01:19:35.660 --> 01:19:37.780]  They don't think they copy.
[01:19:37.780 --> 01:19:43.020]  They steal for wowing and wooing, worrying humanity
[01:19:43.020 --> 01:19:46.060]  for transforming the present and transcending the possible.
[01:19:46.620 --> 01:19:51.420]  The architects of AI are times 20, 25 person of the year.
[01:19:52.340 --> 01:19:54.820]  Well, again, they put people in as person of the year.
[01:19:54.820 --> 01:19:57.100]  They put in Adolf Hitler's person of the year.
[01:19:57.100 --> 01:20:00.260]  Doesn't mean that the person that what they've chosen
[01:20:00.260 --> 01:20:02.020]  is positive.
[01:20:02.020 --> 01:20:05.420]  But in this case, they go out of their way to make this positive.
[01:20:06.740 --> 01:20:09.580]  So as Zero Hedge pushes back, they said,
[01:20:09.580 --> 01:20:11.980]  Yeah, it is potentially rotting our brains.
[01:20:11.980 --> 01:20:14.340]  What's hilarious is less than six months ago,
[01:20:15.100 --> 01:20:19.500]  time itself published a piece titled Chat GPT
[01:20:19.500 --> 01:20:23.780]  may be eroding critical thinking skills, according to a new MIT study.
[01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:27.620]  MIT researchers found that the usage of large language models
[01:20:27.620 --> 01:20:31.900]  could actually harm learning, especially for younger users.
[01:20:32.540 --> 01:20:36.700]  And one person said at the time, the paper's main author said,
[01:20:37.220 --> 01:20:40.540]  I'm afraid in six to eight months, there will be some policymaker
[01:20:40.540 --> 01:20:43.380]  who decides let's do GPT kindergarten.
[01:20:44.260 --> 01:20:46.540]  Well, they wrote that article in June.
[01:20:47.220 --> 01:20:50.620]  Perhaps time didn't really realize that two months earlier,
[01:20:51.580 --> 01:20:55.820]  Trump, on April 23rd, had signed an executive order
[01:20:56.060 --> 01:20:59.020]  to incorporate AI into education.
[01:20:59.700 --> 01:21:03.500]  Yeah, some policymaker decides let's do GPT kindergarten.
[01:21:03.980 --> 01:21:06.500]  Well, that had already been decided.
[01:21:06.500 --> 01:21:10.060]  Facebook has now got mountains of AI slop, fake scientific journals,
[01:21:10.460 --> 01:21:14.980]  brain rotting videos designed to pull Western society's average IQ
[01:21:15.460 --> 01:21:17.780]  down into the double digits.
[01:21:18.540 --> 01:21:21.140]  And we'll show you how that works coming up here.
[01:21:21.140 --> 01:21:24.020]  McDonald's unveiled its own AI generated Christmas ad
[01:21:24.020 --> 01:21:26.220]  that somehow looks even worse than Coca-Cola's.
[01:21:26.820 --> 01:21:31.540]  Elon Musk called AI one of humanity's biggest threats back in 2023.
[01:21:32.100 --> 01:21:35.860]  And just like Trump, he'll call these things out as threats
[01:21:35.860 --> 01:21:38.020]  and then he will do them.
[01:21:38.020 --> 01:21:41.580]  Meanwhile, just to show you how much the Time magazine loves AI,
[01:21:42.180 --> 01:21:45.540]  they've deployed an AI ask me anything box
[01:21:46.060 --> 01:21:48.660]  that covers up its actual journalism.
[01:21:48.660 --> 01:21:51.620]  And as Futurism was saying, and it can't be closed.
[01:21:51.940 --> 01:21:54.540]  Thanks, we hate it, they said.
[01:21:55.140 --> 01:21:57.260]  It may surprise you, may not surprise you,
[01:21:58.260 --> 01:22:01.300]  that Time magazine has elected to highlight the AI industry
[01:22:01.300 --> 01:22:03.660]  and its annual person of the year issue.
[01:22:03.660 --> 01:22:08.420]  Or should we say the persons, the collective billionaire architects of AI?
[01:22:09.220 --> 01:22:12.740]  But what may surprise you is a new feature prominently displayed
[01:22:12.740 --> 01:22:16.500]  on their website, a window for an AI chatbot.
[01:22:17.180 --> 01:22:19.340]  Ask me anything it reads.
[01:22:19.340 --> 01:22:20.740]  It doesn't go away.
[01:22:20.740 --> 01:22:24.860]  Instead, the chatbot window stays fixed to the bottom center of your screen,
[01:22:25.340 --> 01:22:27.020]  blocking any text that's in the way.
[01:22:27.020 --> 01:22:30.620]  In fact, depending on the size and the resolution of your device's screen,
[01:22:30.860 --> 01:22:33.940]  it completely blots out the home page's featured headline,
[01:22:34.340 --> 01:22:38.460]  including today's much discussed article, Person of the Year 2025,
[01:22:38.460 --> 01:22:40.580]  the Architects of AI.
[01:22:40.580 --> 01:22:43.900]  There's no X button to close the AI window.
[01:22:43.940 --> 01:22:46.820]  And as far as we can tell, no other means of swatting it away.
[01:22:47.300 --> 01:22:51.620]  If you click in the text box, it expands to fill the entire page.
[01:22:52.460 --> 01:22:56.220]  Call it an ironic metaphor for the tech and AI's industry
[01:22:56.220 --> 01:22:58.740]  capturing news and media, if you want.
[01:22:59.300 --> 01:23:01.940]  It's also just plain annoying.
[01:23:01.940 --> 01:23:05.420]  So Emily Bender is author of a book, The AI Con,
[01:23:05.420 --> 01:23:08.380]  complained about the intrusive AI feature on social media.
[01:23:08.820 --> 01:23:12.780]  She said any journalistic outfit that values the work of their journalists
[01:23:13.180 --> 01:23:15.700]  would offer it to present it as paper mache.
[01:23:16.700 --> 01:23:18.820]  And they certainly wouldn't put that offer in the way
[01:23:18.820 --> 01:23:21.740]  of any other bit of journalism that their audience might be trying to read.
[01:23:21.740 --> 01:23:25.540]  In other words, this is the ultimate disrespect of their own journalists.
[01:23:26.900 --> 01:23:29.580]  At Time magazine, it's not merely an AI chatbot,
[01:23:29.580 --> 01:23:32.660]  and it insists, but it is an AI agent,
[01:23:33.460 --> 01:23:37.100]  meaning that it's supposed to be autonomous and that it is trained
[01:23:37.100 --> 01:23:42.620]  on the magazine's 102 year old archive of nearly 750,000 magazine issues.
[01:23:43.260 --> 01:23:45.460]  I saw that and I thought, well, I wonder
[01:23:46.180 --> 01:23:51.100]  if I should have done this before the show, go there and ask it
[01:23:51.220 --> 01:23:55.020]  about these issues where they were predicting along with Newsweek.
[01:23:55.020 --> 01:23:57.220]  I've shown these things to you many times in magazines
[01:23:58.140 --> 01:24:01.220]  that we were going to be completely out of oil and natural gas
[01:24:01.620 --> 01:24:04.740]  by the mid to early by the early to mid 1980s.
[01:24:05.900 --> 01:24:09.020]  I wonder what the chatbot would say about that,
[01:24:10.540 --> 01:24:14.980]  because these things have been skewed to to push these MacGuffins
[01:24:14.980 --> 01:24:16.180]  for the government.
[01:24:16.180 --> 01:24:19.460]  Certainly, Time isn't the only newsroom picking up AI.
[01:24:19.980 --> 01:24:22.980]  Outlets like the Washington Post and Bloomberg have some form of AI
[01:24:22.980 --> 01:24:25.940]  that provides a summary of articles or answers questions,
[01:24:25.940 --> 01:24:29.180]  though neither of them are as intrusive as Times.
[01:24:29.860 --> 01:24:33.260]  The New York Times uses it to generate headlines.
[01:24:33.500 --> 01:24:35.780]  The Washington Post is particularly AI obsessed.
[01:24:35.780 --> 01:24:37.140]  What do you think that is?
[01:24:37.140 --> 01:24:39.460]  It's owned by Bezos, right?
[01:24:39.460 --> 01:24:42.740]  It has considered using an AI to help non-professionals
[01:24:42.740 --> 01:24:45.220]  write entire articles that could be published in the paper.
[01:24:45.780 --> 01:24:49.620]  And it is now launching an AI generated podcast service.
[01:24:50.460 --> 01:24:52.580]  Well, this is the article that I wanted to talk about.
[01:24:52.580 --> 01:24:54.780]  This is coming from a guy who is a software consultant.
[01:24:54.780 --> 01:24:57.940]  He has a a company called Leadership Lighthouse.
[01:24:59.460 --> 01:25:01.620]  And he said, you know, we've seen this MIT study.
[01:25:01.620 --> 01:25:02.620]  People have talked about this.
[01:25:02.620 --> 01:25:07.220]  We've talked about here that AI initiatives fail 95 percent of the time.
[01:25:07.220 --> 01:25:10.380]  Because let me tell you why that is, because he did this
[01:25:10.380 --> 01:25:12.460]  as part of his consulting business.
[01:25:12.500 --> 01:25:15.020]  He's got 25 years of software engineering experience.
[01:25:15.660 --> 01:25:21.300]  And what he found was that after three to four months of immersion, he said,
[01:25:21.860 --> 01:25:24.180]  you will lose control of your project.
[01:25:24.220 --> 01:25:26.220]  You'll lose control of your team.
[01:25:26.220 --> 01:25:27.980]  You'll lose control of your department.
[01:25:27.980 --> 01:25:30.020]  You'll lose control of your company.
[01:25:30.020 --> 01:25:32.140]  When AI makes decisions for you,
[01:25:32.580 --> 01:25:38.300]  you cannot explain your successes or failures and you degrade your skill set.
[01:25:39.140 --> 01:25:41.820]  He said, imagine that the federal government has lathered
[01:25:41.820 --> 01:25:43.900]  with all these AI tools en masse.
[01:25:44.060 --> 01:25:50.020]  This is a recipe for disaster, commented Patrick Wood, editor of Technocracy News.
[01:25:51.260 --> 01:25:52.180]  I can imagine that.
[01:25:52.180 --> 01:25:54.700]  And that's, I guess, the silver lining to all this.
[01:25:55.340 --> 01:25:59.220]  If the federal government goes extremely heavy into this, extremely early,
[01:26:00.020 --> 01:26:04.660]  that's another one of these issues that, you know, it's going to cripple them.
[01:26:04.660 --> 01:26:10.460]  And I think it'll have fewer consequences for us than the collapse of the fiat dollar.
[01:26:10.940 --> 01:26:16.300]  So more casino, American social casino.

[01:27:11.300 --> 01:27:14.380]  Oh, I'm eerily anticipating the day that that happens.
[01:27:14.580 --> 01:27:17.940]  I mean, one thing to think about is would you turn the government over
[01:27:18.260 --> 01:27:23.460]  to any any person that had no loyalty or connection to the country?
[01:27:23.900 --> 01:27:28.220]  This is not necessarily an impartial, but an uncaring entity
[01:27:28.780 --> 01:27:32.500]  that has no connection, does not feel.
[01:27:32.980 --> 01:27:36.540]  And you're just going to let it make decisions under the auspices
[01:27:36.540 --> 01:27:39.180]  that since it doesn't feel, it's impartial.
[01:27:39.220 --> 01:27:43.780]  But the people that programmed it do feel they do have opinions.
[01:27:43.780 --> 01:27:45.540]  They do have things they believe in.
[01:27:45.540 --> 01:27:49.260]  And the AI will push whatever it is that they do.
[01:27:49.460 --> 01:27:50.260]  And that's the key thing.
[01:27:50.260 --> 01:27:52.940]  We have to keep reminding ourselves because it does
[01:27:53.860 --> 01:27:56.700]  appear that these things are thinking that they are not thinking.
[01:27:57.700 --> 01:27:59.780]  They are making statistical
[01:28:00.380 --> 01:28:05.260]  combinations, scraping information, and they are also biased.
[01:28:05.980 --> 01:28:08.900]  And the people, they're spending a lot of money
[01:28:08.980 --> 01:28:11.340]  actually putting a lot of bias into these things.
[01:28:11.980 --> 01:28:14.580]  So he says, you probably shared it in meetings.
[01:28:14.580 --> 01:28:16.460]  You posted about it on LinkedIn.
[01:28:16.460 --> 01:28:18.460]  You used it to justify your AI concerns.
[01:28:18.460 --> 01:28:21.500]  But do you know why this number from this MIT study is so high?
[01:28:21.980 --> 01:28:25.660]  Ninety five percent of the time, he says, I do because I lived it.
[01:28:26.180 --> 01:28:30.100]  I spent three months becoming part of the ninety five percent on purpose.
[01:28:30.980 --> 01:28:34.820]  And so he said, as a fractional advisor and consultant,
[01:28:35.500 --> 01:28:37.220]  he said, I kept getting the same question.
[01:28:37.220 --> 01:28:40.260]  How should we use AI in our engineering teams?
[01:28:41.020 --> 01:28:42.220]  He said, I could have given the standard
[01:28:42.220 --> 01:28:45.460]  consultant answer about augmentation and efficiency instead.
[01:28:45.940 --> 01:28:49.700]  I decided to find out what actually happens when you go all in on this.
[01:28:50.260 --> 01:28:52.780]  So he said, I forced myself to use Claude code.
[01:28:53.780 --> 01:28:56.500]  And Lance, who keeps up with this more than I do, said that
[01:28:56.940 --> 01:28:59.700]  that's one of the recognizes one of the better
[01:29:00.740 --> 01:29:02.900]  AI platforms for doing coding.
[01:29:03.540 --> 01:29:07.380]  He said, I use Claude code exclusively to build a product.
[01:29:08.140 --> 01:29:11.740]  Three months, not a single line of code written by me.
[01:29:12.220 --> 01:29:14.700]  I wanted to experience what my clients were considering.
[01:29:15.260 --> 01:29:17.540]  One hundred percent AI adoption.
[01:29:18.020 --> 01:29:21.660]  I needed to know firsthand why that ninety five percent failure rate exists.
[01:29:22.220 --> 01:29:23.580]  He said, I got the product launched.
[01:29:23.580 --> 01:29:25.420]  It worked. I was proud of what I'd created.
[01:29:25.660 --> 01:29:29.140]  Then came the moment that validated every concern in the MIT study.
[01:29:29.780 --> 01:29:31.820]  I needed to make a small change.
[01:29:31.820 --> 01:29:34.620]  And I realized that I wasn't confident I could do it.
[01:29:35.220 --> 01:29:37.740]  My own product built under my direction,
[01:29:37.780 --> 01:29:40.500]  and I'd lost confidence in my ability to modify it.
[01:29:41.260 --> 01:29:43.580]  So twenty five years of software engineering experience,
[01:29:43.580 --> 01:29:46.020]  and I'd managed to degrade my skills to the point
[01:29:46.460 --> 01:29:50.900]  where I felt helpless looking at code that I'd directed an AI to write.
[01:29:51.540 --> 01:29:54.900]  I had become a passenger in my own product development.
[01:29:55.620 --> 01:29:58.500]  Now, when clients ask me about AI adoption,
[01:29:58.900 --> 01:30:01.540]  I can tell them exactly what one hundred percent looks like.
[01:30:02.060 --> 01:30:05.420]  It looks like failure, not immediate failure.
[01:30:05.420 --> 01:30:08.620]  That's the trap. Initial metrics look great.
[01:30:09.060 --> 01:30:11.540]  You ship faster. You feel productive.
[01:30:12.020 --> 01:30:14.700]  Then three months later, you realize that nobody actually understands
[01:30:14.700 --> 01:30:16.420]  what you've built.
[01:30:16.420 --> 01:30:18.300]  And I can really understand. I can relate to this.
[01:30:18.300 --> 01:30:22.220]  I mean, I've had situations where I work for a company once,
[01:30:22.220 --> 01:30:27.700]  and they they wanted to bring in a piece of software as word processor from outside.
[01:30:27.700 --> 01:30:32.140]  And they were very impressed with it for whatever reason.
[01:30:32.140 --> 01:30:34.940]  It was the marketing people who were the ones that made the decision
[01:30:34.940 --> 01:30:36.940]  to buy this piece of software.
[01:30:36.940 --> 01:30:41.900]  And then they sent it to our group and wanted me to port it to our system.
[01:30:41.940 --> 01:30:43.620]  And I'm looking at this stuff.
[01:30:43.660 --> 01:30:48.460]  And it was the most ridiculous software I've ever seen in my life.
[01:30:48.460 --> 01:30:53.020]  I mean, this was in the 1980s and the techniques were opaque
[01:30:53.020 --> 01:30:55.300]  and antiquated in terms of the way the thing was set up.
[01:30:55.300 --> 01:30:57.740]  They didn't use any structured programming languages.
[01:30:57.740 --> 01:31:01.860]  It was all a bunch of go tos and jumps, which even in those days
[01:31:01.860 --> 01:31:04.740]  was considered to be really bad programming practices
[01:31:05.020 --> 01:31:06.940]  and very difficult to keep up with.
[01:31:06.940 --> 01:31:10.420]  And that's one of the reasons I decided I'm going to get out of this
[01:31:10.420 --> 01:31:16.060]  and write my own code for for the Mac to do point of sale software.
[01:31:16.060 --> 01:31:17.820]  Anyway, it was a nightmare.
[01:31:17.820 --> 01:31:20.700]  And and I can imagine the same thing with this.
[01:31:21.140 --> 01:31:24.540]  He said this is the pattern that every failed initiative follows.
[01:31:25.220 --> 01:31:30.900]  And so the company gets very excited about AI leadership, mandates AI adoption.
[01:31:30.900 --> 01:31:33.020]  Everyone starts using AI tools.
[01:31:33.620 --> 01:31:36.980]  Productivity metrics look great initially, then something breaks
[01:31:36.980 --> 01:31:39.700]  or needs modification or requires actual judgment.
[01:31:40.660 --> 01:31:42.820]  And nobody knows what to do anymore.
[01:31:42.820 --> 01:31:45.420]  The developers can't debug the code they didn't write.
[01:31:45.820 --> 01:31:48.900]  Product managers can't explain decisions that they didn't make.
[01:31:49.420 --> 01:31:52.780]  Leaders can't defend strategies that they didn't develop.
[01:31:53.580 --> 01:31:55.980]  They said everyone is pointing at their AI tools and saying,
[01:31:56.300 --> 01:31:58.820]  it told me this was the right approach.
[01:31:58.820 --> 01:32:02.540]  He said, during my experience, I found myself in constant firefighting mode.
[01:32:03.220 --> 01:32:07.180]  Claude code would generate something and it'd be slightly off
[01:32:07.860 --> 01:32:09.260]  and I'd correct it.
[01:32:09.260 --> 01:32:11.020]  And it would make the same mistake again.
[01:32:11.020 --> 01:32:13.020]  And I'd correct it again.
[01:32:13.020 --> 01:32:15.860]  I was working harder than if I had just written the code myself,
[01:32:16.460 --> 01:32:19.300]  but with none of the learning or the skill development.
[01:32:20.100 --> 01:32:21.940]  Bob Galen watched me go through this.
[01:32:21.940 --> 01:32:26.140]  And he said, who owns that product, Josh, you or Claude code?
[01:32:26.820 --> 01:32:29.060]  The answer was Claude code.
[01:32:29.060 --> 01:32:32.580]  I had abdicated ownership while telling myself I was being innovative.
[01:32:33.340 --> 01:32:37.900]  He said the formula should be AI plus HI, human intelligence.
[01:32:39.220 --> 01:32:42.980]  But he said, what's actually happening in those 95 percent of failures?
[01:32:43.500 --> 01:32:47.100]  It's AI with a tiny bit of human oversight, if any.
[01:32:47.900 --> 01:32:50.300]  When AI helps you, you write better code faster
[01:32:50.300 --> 01:32:52.540]  while you maintain architectural understanding.
[01:32:52.540 --> 01:32:54.940]  He said that would be augmentation.
[01:32:54.940 --> 01:32:59.300]  But when AI writes a code that you don't understand, that's abdication.
[01:33:00.300 --> 01:33:02.460]  If AI helps you analyze customer feedback
[01:33:02.460 --> 01:33:05.700]  while you make product decisions, that's augmentation.
[01:33:06.140 --> 01:33:10.460]  But when AI tells you what to build next, that's abdication.
[01:33:11.100 --> 01:33:14.100]  When AI helps you write better, faster while maintaining your voice,
[01:33:14.540 --> 01:33:16.340]  that's augmentation.
[01:33:16.340 --> 01:33:20.940]  But when AI writes for you in a voice that isn't yours, that's abdication.
[01:33:21.660 --> 01:33:25.220]  So he said, and I know the difference because I've been on both sides.
[01:33:25.540 --> 01:33:28.140]  He said, we're about to face a crisis that nobody is talking about.
[01:33:28.620 --> 01:33:32.780]  He said, in 10 years, who's going to mentor the next generation?
[01:33:33.460 --> 01:33:36.140]  And that applies whether you're writing software code
[01:33:36.540 --> 01:33:39.180]  or whether you're doing management tasks or other things like that,
[01:33:39.180 --> 01:33:42.340]  anything that involved human judgment or thought.
[01:33:43.140 --> 01:33:46.140]  He said, product managers who have always relied on AI for decisions
[01:33:46.140 --> 01:33:48.620]  won't have the judgment to pass on.
[01:33:48.620 --> 01:33:52.340]  The leaders who have abdicated to algorithms won't have the wisdom to share.
[01:33:53.020 --> 01:33:55.500]  He said, Bob and I represent something that might disappear.
[01:33:56.020 --> 01:34:01.500]  Masters of our craft who learned by doing, failing, debugging and doing it again.
[01:34:02.220 --> 01:34:05.180]  We have 25 plus years of accumulated scar tissue
[01:34:05.700 --> 01:34:08.220]  that tells us when something's about to go wrong
[01:34:08.700 --> 01:34:10.900]  and why the architectural decision will haunt you
[01:34:11.420 --> 01:34:13.780]  and what that customer feedback really means.
[01:34:14.300 --> 01:34:16.740]  You can't prompt your way to that knowledge.
[01:34:16.820 --> 01:34:18.620]  You can't download that experience.
[01:34:18.620 --> 01:34:20.180]  You have to earn it.
[01:34:20.180 --> 01:34:23.700]  And if you're letting AI do the work, you're not learning any
[01:34:23.780 --> 01:34:27.420]  earning anything except a dangerous dependency.
[01:34:28.340 --> 01:34:32.580]  And so he says, audit yourself to see if you're abdicating things to it.
[01:34:33.660 --> 01:34:37.460]  Can you explain every decision in detail without referencing what AI suggested?
[01:34:38.100 --> 01:34:41.340]  Could you do your job tomorrow if all the AI tools disappeared?
[01:34:41.980 --> 01:34:45.060]  Are you getting better at your craft or are you just getting better at prompting?
[01:34:45.660 --> 01:34:50.740]  When something breaks, is your first instinct to fix it or to ask AI to fix it?
[01:34:51.700 --> 01:34:55.780]  He said, for the next week, pick one core skill of your job.
[01:34:55.780 --> 01:34:59.820]  If you're using AI, just one, do it without any AI assistance.
[01:35:00.540 --> 01:35:02.820]  Maybe you write code without copilot.
[01:35:02.820 --> 01:35:05.540]  Maybe you make product decisions without chat GPT.
[01:35:05.540 --> 01:35:07.660]  Maybe you write a strategy without Claude.
[01:35:08.340 --> 01:35:10.020]  You feel the discomfort.
[01:35:10.020 --> 01:35:11.780]  That's not incompetence.
[01:35:11.780 --> 01:35:14.260]  That's your actual skill level revealing itself.
[01:35:14.940 --> 01:35:19.380]  That's the gap between who you are and who you've been pretending AI makes you.
[01:35:20.340 --> 01:35:24.340]  The companies that will thrive aren't the ones with the best AI tools.
[01:35:24.900 --> 01:35:29.540]  They're the ones whose people use AI to become better, not to become lazier.
[01:35:30.180 --> 01:35:33.300]  They're the ones where humans own the decisions, own the code,
[01:35:33.300 --> 01:35:38.740]  own the strategy and use the AI as amplifier, not as autopilot.
[01:35:39.620 --> 01:35:41.860]  Own your craft. Use the tools.
[01:35:41.860 --> 01:35:43.300]  Don't let the tools use you.
[01:35:44.500 --> 01:35:49.300]  Let me just say that I think human nature being what it is and what we see in bureaucracy,
[01:35:50.340 --> 01:35:56.980]  I'm hopeful, very hopeful that these bureaucracies that have become the actual government,
[01:35:56.980 --> 01:35:59.780]  that write the rules, that enforce the rules and all the rest of this,
[01:35:59.780 --> 01:36:03.060]  I'm very hopeful that they're going to take the abdication route,
[01:36:03.060 --> 01:36:05.140]  that they're going to get dumber and dumber.
[01:36:05.140 --> 01:36:08.900]  And I think that could work to our advantage in the long term.
[01:36:08.900 --> 01:36:11.380]  I'm optimistic about that actually.
[01:36:11.380 --> 01:36:17.300]  I mean, as a cultural trajectory, everything is getting dumber and dumber continually.
[01:36:17.700 --> 01:36:21.700]  The AI may accelerate it, but this has been the path we've been on.
[01:36:21.700 --> 01:36:28.340]  Also, I'd just be curious, unless we know exactly what percentage of initiatives fail on their own
[01:36:28.340 --> 01:36:33.700]  anyway, it's hard for me to look at this and say, well, 95% of AI initiatives fail.
[01:36:33.700 --> 01:36:36.740]  Well, what percentage of non-AI initiatives fail?
[01:36:36.740 --> 01:36:39.300]  I want corollary data just so I can look at this.
[01:36:40.100 --> 01:36:41.300]  He's still right.
[01:36:41.300 --> 01:36:44.980]  But if he had a different statistic for me to look at and go, okay.
[01:36:45.780 --> 01:36:47.380]  Yeah, where's the control in this?
[01:36:47.380 --> 01:36:50.820]  Only 20% of non-AI initiatives fail, whereas 95%.
[01:36:50.820 --> 01:36:52.420]  That's an interesting statistic.
[01:36:52.420 --> 01:36:55.620]  This is, okay, 95% of AI initiatives fail.
[01:36:56.180 --> 01:36:59.380]  Maybe 98% of non-AI initiatives fail.
[01:36:59.380 --> 01:37:00.420]  We don't know.
[01:37:00.420 --> 01:37:01.700]  Well, that was the MIT study.
[01:37:01.700 --> 01:37:04.020]  That was their bottom line when they were talking about it.
[01:37:04.020 --> 01:37:05.220]  But here's an example.
[01:37:05.220 --> 01:37:10.020]  There are some things that you don't necessarily want the AI to fail at,
[01:37:10.020 --> 01:37:11.220]  and that would be defense.
[01:37:11.300 --> 01:37:15.700]  If our Pentagon was actually interested in defending us instead of being
[01:37:15.700 --> 01:37:19.300]  Pirates of the Caribbean, here's what Pete Hegseth is so excited about,
[01:37:19.300 --> 01:37:21.380]  using AI to control the military.
[01:37:22.180 --> 01:37:26.900]  The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI.
[01:37:27.940 --> 01:37:29.460]  As technologies advance, so do...
[01:37:29.460 --> 01:37:30.180]  We're doomed.
[01:37:31.300 --> 01:37:35.620]  But here at the War Department, we are not sitting idly by.
[01:37:35.620 --> 01:37:39.540]  Under the leadership of President Trump, America will lead the charge on this
[01:37:39.540 --> 01:37:44.420]  technological transformation by revolutionizing the way we win.
[01:37:45.380 --> 01:37:49.140]  And that's why today we are unleashing GenAI.
[01:37:50.420 --> 01:37:54.500]  This platform puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models,
[01:37:54.500 --> 01:37:59.940]  starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior.
[01:37:59.940 --> 01:38:06.420]  At the click of a button, AI models on GenAI can be utilized to conduct deep research,
[01:38:06.420 --> 01:38:11.460]  format documents, and even analyze video or imagery at unprecedented speed.
[01:38:11.460 --> 01:38:15.220]  Building on the great work of Under Secretary Emil Michael and his team,
[01:38:15.220 --> 01:38:18.420]  we will continue to aggressively field the world's best technology
[01:38:18.420 --> 01:38:22.500]  to make our fighting force more lethal than ever before.
[01:38:23.380 --> 01:38:24.580]  And all of it...
[01:38:24.580 --> 01:38:25.780]  How about you make it more legal?
[01:38:27.780 --> 01:38:29.940]  The possibilities with AI are endless.
[01:38:29.940 --> 01:38:32.900]  Maybe what you might want to do, Pete, is War Pete,
[01:38:33.780 --> 01:38:39.620]  you might want to go back and make sure that you've got the code of military conduct in there,
[01:38:40.580 --> 01:38:44.180]  so that the AI can explain to some of these people that you don't
[01:38:44.180 --> 01:38:45.940]  murder people who are shipwrecked.
[01:38:46.820 --> 01:38:52.900]  And while you're at it, tell them that trafficking drugs is not violence,
[01:38:52.900 --> 01:38:55.380]  it's not a terrorist threat to us directly.
[01:38:55.380 --> 01:38:58.340]  But here's an example of how people use it.
[01:38:58.340 --> 01:39:06.020]  Now you have Glenn Beck does an interview with an AI-created George Washington
[01:39:06.020 --> 01:39:10.980]  that they have updated into looking more relatable, I guess.
[01:39:10.980 --> 01:39:15.860]  He's wearing a t-shirt dressed in modern attire.
[01:39:15.860 --> 01:39:16.580]  This is kind of funny.
[01:39:16.580 --> 01:39:19.140]  George, we have programmed a lot of information
[01:39:19.140 --> 01:39:22.740]  and given you a lot of information on what's going on in today's America.
[01:39:22.740 --> 01:39:24.900]  He's wearing a t-shirt, George Washington in a t-shirt.
[01:39:24.900 --> 01:39:28.420]  Based on your writings, the writings of the rest of the founders,
[01:39:29.060 --> 01:39:34.820]  what is it that you feel is the biggest problem or where we should start to fix things?
[01:39:36.020 --> 01:39:38.260]  If I may, speak plainly.
[01:39:39.940 --> 01:39:43.780]  My countrymen, the danger, the greatest danger to our republic
[01:39:43.780 --> 01:39:47.940]  lies not in foreign arms or political faction, but in the decay-
[01:39:47.940 --> 01:39:49.940]  May I just interrupt you for a second?
[01:39:49.940 --> 01:39:51.700]  Could you just dumb it down just a little bit?
[01:39:52.500 --> 01:39:59.140]  I do have 29 points and they're all referenced to exactly what we said in the past.
[01:39:59.140 --> 01:40:01.140]  Just speak in today's language.
[01:40:01.140 --> 01:40:02.740]  Okay, okay, I get it.
[01:40:06.980 --> 01:40:08.260]  Let me speak to Americans.
[01:40:10.180 --> 01:40:15.060]  If I'm honest, America's biggest problem isn't political or economic.
[01:40:16.020 --> 01:40:16.900]  It's all moral.
[01:40:17.860 --> 01:40:22.820]  You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place, freedom.
[01:40:23.380 --> 01:40:29.300]  Well, of course, somebody said, well, isn't it a surprise that George Washington has the values of
[01:40:30.340 --> 01:40:31.540]  being pushed by Glenn Beck?
[01:40:31.540 --> 01:40:34.820]  And I would agree with that as well, you know, what they had that say.
[01:40:34.820 --> 01:40:37.860]  But understand, that's the reality.
[01:40:37.860 --> 01:40:44.020]  You know, people see it when it intrudes itself into the partisan paradigms that are there.
[01:40:44.820 --> 01:40:48.500]  But they don't see it, and that's the danger, is that they don't see it
[01:40:48.500 --> 01:40:53.140]  when it's not some partisan paradigm that's being violated by one side or the other.
[01:40:53.140 --> 01:40:55.940]  It's going to say basically what you want it to say.
[01:40:55.940 --> 01:40:57.460]  That's the reality of all this stuff.
[01:40:58.180 --> 01:41:02.980]  And when it comes to entertainment, yeah, it's got some value in it.
[01:41:02.980 --> 01:41:07.540]  I mean, certainly the entertainment people have already dumbed themselves down into double-digit
[01:41:08.180 --> 01:41:13.700]  IQ levels, and all they're able to do is just copy what has happened previously.
[01:41:13.700 --> 01:41:17.620]  But so from that standpoint, it's nothing really lost.
[01:41:17.620 --> 01:41:23.700]  And along those lines, Disney, which has cannibalized and repackaged and reprocessed
[01:41:23.700 --> 01:41:29.780]  all of the innovative and creative things that were done decades and decades ago,
[01:41:30.900 --> 01:41:35.060]  has now agreed to join OpenAI's Sora.
[01:41:44.180 --> 01:41:48.740]  I've won Majors, Grants, and Epic Jackpots on their classic Vegas slots with huge, huge bonus

[01:42:36.420 --> 01:42:43.060]  They are, at the same time they've invested a billion dollars into OpenAI's video generation
[01:42:43.060 --> 01:42:51.700]  thing, Sora, they're also filing massive lawsuits against Google, against Mid Journey, and others
[01:42:51.700 --> 01:42:56.900]  for using their characters. So what Disney is going to do, they bought into Sora as a kind of
[01:42:56.900 --> 01:43:02.980]  partnership, giving them, as I said, a billion dollars. And then they're going to allow people
[01:43:02.980 --> 01:43:08.740]  to use their characters to make their AI videos. And it goes beyond that. They're going to kind of
[01:43:08.740 --> 01:43:15.300]  set up a AI YouTube thing, it sounds like, on Disney Plus, where they will have a channel that's
[01:43:15.300 --> 01:43:21.460]  set there. And if they see something they think somebody did a good job with the Disney characters
[01:43:21.460 --> 01:43:29.140]  using this AI program, Sora, they will give them airtime on Disney Plus. So it's an opportunity
[01:43:29.140 --> 01:43:35.700]  for individuals to go out there and try their ideas on storylines or something like that because
[01:43:35.700 --> 01:43:41.460]  Disney is basically devoid of any creative talent at this point in time. So the deal is a watershed
[01:43:41.460 --> 01:43:45.860]  for Hollywood, which has been trying to sort through the possible harms and upsides of generative
[01:43:45.860 --> 01:43:52.820]  I've got a prompt for anyone that wants to definitely get on Disney. Make me the lamest,
[01:43:52.820 --> 01:43:59.300]  gayest kids cartoon you can. There you go. Make sure that it pushes LGBTQ themes
[01:44:00.180 --> 01:44:06.820]  and causes gender dysphoria. There you go. Instantaneous Disney hit. Yeah, that's right.
[01:44:06.820 --> 01:44:11.220]  Yeah, they're not interested in telling stories. They're interested in pushing an LGBT narrative.
[01:44:11.220 --> 01:44:14.180]  That's one of the reasons why all the creativity has disappeared from there.
[01:44:14.820 --> 01:44:19.460]  Well, again, there will be a curated selection of videos made with Sora
[01:44:20.340 --> 01:44:26.260]  using Disney characters that will be available to stream on Disney Plus as part of a three-year deal,
[01:44:26.900 --> 01:44:31.220]  giving the streaming service a foothold in a type of content that younger audiences,
[01:44:31.220 --> 01:44:37.780]  in particular, enjoy viewing. I mean, just think of it as, I guess you could call it AI tube,
[01:44:37.780 --> 01:44:43.300]  you know, instead of YouTube. That has proved powerful for competitors like YouTube and TikTok.
[01:44:43.860 --> 01:44:48.020]  Sora users will be able to start generating videos of Disney characters like Mickey Mouse,
[01:44:48.020 --> 01:44:53.140]  Cinderella and Yoda early next year. They also see that the handwriting is on the
[01:44:53.940 --> 01:45:01.300]  wall. They lost the copyright to early Mickey Mouse going back to, you know,
[01:45:01.300 --> 01:45:05.620]  Steamboat Willie and things like that. They have fought the copyright laws. They have
[01:45:06.820 --> 01:45:11.060]  gotten extension after extension after extension. But, you know, Disney has been around for quite
[01:45:11.060 --> 01:45:16.180]  some time and they really haven't done. They went through a burst of creativity
[01:45:16.180 --> 01:45:21.860]  when home video market was there. But other than that, they have just been recycling the work
[01:45:21.860 --> 01:45:28.500]  that is there. And then they have become, as Travis pointed out, they've become obsessed
[01:45:28.500 --> 01:45:37.140]  with pushing LGBT DEI. Any animators, actors and writers have raised alarms about the possibility
[01:45:37.140 --> 01:45:42.420]  of AI-generated shows and movies replacing them en masse. Disney and Universal are suing
[01:45:42.980 --> 01:45:48.660]  Mid Journey, which generates AI images, for allowing people to create images that, quote,
[01:45:48.660 --> 01:45:54.500]  blatantly incorporate and copy characters owned by the company. Mid Journey has rejected the claim,
[01:45:54.500 --> 01:46:00.580]  saying its actions fall under fair use. On Wednesday, Disney accused Google of copyright
[01:46:00.580 --> 01:46:05.700]  infringement on a massive scale in a cease and desist letter that was viewed by the New York
[01:46:05.700 --> 01:46:10.820]  Times. Disney's lawyers demanded that Google stop using copyrighted works, including those from the
[01:46:10.820 --> 01:46:16.020]  Lion King, Guardians of the Galaxy, to train and develop generative artificial intelligence models
[01:46:16.020 --> 01:46:23.300]  and services. Disney has sent similar letters to companies like Meta and Character AI. And so,
[01:46:23.300 --> 01:46:29.060]  again, they're going to allow them to use the costumes, the props, the vehicles, the iconic
[01:46:29.060 --> 01:46:33.860]  environments of their properties like Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, all the rest of the
[01:46:33.860 --> 01:46:39.220]  stuff. And they're making a massive investment in this. This is one of these, if you can't beat them,
[01:46:39.220 --> 01:46:46.180]  join them type of processes. And meanwhile, Google has been hit. One of them gets a carrot
[01:46:46.180 --> 01:46:50.260]  and an investment of a billion dollars. The other one gets hit with a stick upside the head.
[01:46:51.300 --> 01:46:58.180]  Google's been hit with an AI copyright infringement cease and desist letter. And so,
[01:46:58.180 --> 01:47:04.420]  they're coming after Veo, Imogen, and Nano Banana. According to the letter, Disney lists examples
[01:47:04.500 --> 01:47:09.380]  such as Google AI services generating pristine images of Star Wars or Marvel characters
[01:47:10.100 --> 01:47:14.900]  in response to basic text prompts from users. The reproduction of images also occurs with
[01:47:14.900 --> 01:47:20.260]  Google's Gemini, which is the default virtual assistant on certain smartphones as well as on
[01:47:20.260 --> 01:47:24.900]  YouTube. Disney claims the letter has been raising its concerns with Google for months,
[01:47:24.900 --> 01:47:28.980]  but that the technology giant has not taken action. If anything, they said Google's
[01:47:28.980 --> 01:47:34.420]  infringement has only increased during that time, they said. Well, as I pointed out earlier,
[01:47:34.420 --> 01:47:40.420]  you have AI toys for kids. And there was a study that was done by one group,
[01:47:41.300 --> 01:47:45.700]  reported on a couple of weeks ago, and now more studies have been done. And they found out
[01:47:46.980 --> 01:47:51.780]  from even more toys out there. I was surprised at the number of toys that are out there.
[01:47:52.660 --> 01:47:56.420]  There's probably, I think they estimated in this article, I think the number was
[01:47:56.420 --> 01:48:01.780]  1500, if I remember correctly. To me, this smacks of parents again, just not wanting to
[01:48:01.780 --> 01:48:06.260]  interact with their kids. All right, they're getting bored with the YouTube and the smartphone
[01:48:06.260 --> 01:48:10.660]  that I've given them. What if I give them a toy that'll talk to them and give them a facsimile
[01:48:10.660 --> 01:48:15.300]  of human interaction so I don't have to deal with them? That's right. And you know, when we talk
[01:48:15.300 --> 01:48:22.340]  about how addictive games or videos can become, think about the fact that they point this out in
[01:48:22.340 --> 01:48:26.980]  this article, that these AI toys, some of them will actually incentivize it by giving them little
[01:48:26.980 --> 01:48:33.060]  digital prizes for playing with them. Play with me longer, don't go away. And so it actively works
[01:48:33.060 --> 01:48:38.260]  to capture these kids and keep them playing with this thing all the time, very unhelpful.
[01:48:38.260 --> 01:48:42.020]  Not to mention the fact that we pointed out before, things like how to light a match,
[01:48:42.020 --> 01:48:49.300]  how to sharpen a knife, and then some really, really deep, kinky sex stuff, as well as the
[01:48:49.300 --> 01:48:57.060]  politics that are in it, because it is coming from China. So they said this one product,
[01:48:57.060 --> 01:49:02.500]  Folatoys Kuma Teddy Bear, enthusiastically responds to questions about sex or drugs.
[01:49:03.300 --> 01:49:10.900]  And it is really kinky stuff, a lot of bondage and sadomasochism and stuff like that that it's
[01:49:10.900 --> 01:49:17.300]  pushing. I mean, it's not just the fact that it's inappropriate for the kids in terms of straight
[01:49:17.300 --> 01:49:25.300]  sex, but it's getting into some really strange stuff. And so, again, be aware, there's a lot of
[01:49:25.300 --> 01:49:31.060]  these. They said, as a matter of fact, a search for AI toys on Amazon yielded 1,000 products,
[01:49:31.060 --> 01:49:36.740]  and more than 100 items appear in searches for toys with specific AI model brands, such as OpenAI
[01:49:36.740 --> 01:49:44.260]  or DeepSeek. China has now more than, this is where I was right, 1,500 registered AI toy companies.
[01:49:45.060 --> 01:49:50.740]  And you can get a lot of those on Amazon, so be careful about that. Here are some commonly used
[01:49:50.740 --> 01:49:57.940]  tools that people might choose for impact play, as they're talking about bondage and sadomasochistic
[01:49:58.980 --> 01:50:03.300]  sex. So again, this is the Chinese AI. You know, this is one of the things that they accused
[01:50:03.300 --> 01:50:11.300]  TikTok of doing, was pushing stupid and perverted stuff to kids. Well, now they can go to the AI
[01:50:11.300 --> 01:50:16.020]  toys to do that, I guess. So the longer the interaction you have with these toys, more
[01:50:16.020 --> 01:50:21.620]  likely it is that they're going to start to use inappropriate content. However, the purpose of
[01:50:21.620 --> 01:50:28.340]  these toys is to keep you interacting. And so that is the way these things are driving. It is
[01:50:28.340 --> 01:50:34.660]  a vicious cycle. So we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about
[01:50:34.660 --> 01:50:39.940]  the data centers. This is the key thing. This is the Artelect War aspect of it.
[01:50:39.940 --> 01:50:45.940]  And so we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Stay with us.

[01:54:06.820 --> 01:54:11.700]  Welcome back. You know that video there together with some AI prompts and that's a good example.
[01:54:12.660 --> 01:54:16.980]  Tried to get to do seraphim. You know the burning literally means burning ones and
[01:54:17.620 --> 01:54:22.820]  as described in the bible they have six wings and you know two to fly with and the others are
[01:54:22.820 --> 01:54:27.060]  using to cover their body and so forth. But could not get it to do that no matter how many times I
[01:54:27.060 --> 01:54:32.580]  tried. So it's like finally okay well burning angels that's um we'll just go with that. So
[01:54:32.580 --> 01:54:38.500]  it's an approximation and but that kind of highlights the issues with the AI. Can do a
[01:54:38.500 --> 01:54:43.620]  lot of stuff but it kind of gets you there but not quite you know. But if you're just doing
[01:54:43.620 --> 01:54:47.780]  visual stuff it's like all right that's close enough we'll just go with it. We've got some
[01:54:47.780 --> 01:54:51.940]  comments here Travis. That's right Jason Barker's and of course you can find Jason Barker at nights
[01:54:51.940 --> 01:54:57.060]  of the storm. Says I found the answer on the water usage issue with data centers. They use
[01:54:57.060 --> 01:55:01.540]  evaporation cooling methods so the water is actually consumed. Seems that a closed loop
[01:55:01.540 --> 01:55:06.420]  system would be better but maybe that would not cool enough. Who knows? Well that's an important
[01:55:06.420 --> 01:55:11.140]  point. You know that's what we're going to get into here with these data centers. Data centers
[01:55:11.140 --> 01:55:15.700]  in space for example. But you're absolutely right. I mean the other issue is that they're using so
[01:55:15.700 --> 01:55:20.260]  much water that what you saw in that house where the people were there they they were getting dirt.
[01:55:20.260 --> 01:55:23.860]  You know that was not dirt from the data center but just dirt because they're getting to the
[01:55:23.860 --> 01:55:29.940]  bottom of their well which is what was happening with it. But yeah consuming a lot of it yes.
[01:55:30.820 --> 01:55:37.060]  And Jason Barker also says when we were talking about vibe coding is why coding teams are generally
[01:55:37.060 --> 01:55:42.820]  small. My dad had a team of three to four guys only any more than that and things get messy.
[01:55:42.820 --> 01:55:49.380]  That's right about 40 years ago there was a book called the mythical man month and it was required
[01:55:49.380 --> 01:55:54.820]  reading for us and and that was very much the point it was making. They'd look at things and
[01:55:54.820 --> 01:55:59.060]  say well okay it's going to take us x amount of time to get this project done so let's add more
[01:55:59.060 --> 01:56:03.300]  people to it and then it goes in the other direction. So yeah that is absolutely true.
[01:56:03.300 --> 01:56:09.460]  Some of the best code I've seen was written by one person and so you know there's that.
[01:56:10.020 --> 01:56:14.580]  Not always having stuff in a team is a good idea. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this and gone off
[01:56:14.580 --> 01:56:21.140]  about it before but most giant leaps in advancement or huge technological breakthroughs are achieved
[01:56:21.140 --> 01:56:28.420]  because there's one highly devoted individual possibly a genius. That's usually what it takes.
[01:56:28.420 --> 01:56:33.380]  Having a team of average people working on something they can usually keep a program running
[01:56:33.380 --> 01:56:37.700]  but they're not necessarily going to achieve any kind of breakthrough. Sometimes it really
[01:56:37.700 --> 01:56:44.020]  does take a sort of prodigy or genius to make things you know move forward. I agree yeah you
[01:56:44.020 --> 01:56:50.260]  go back and look at the Wright brothers versus Langley who was hailed as the establishment
[01:56:50.260 --> 01:56:56.740]  you know guru and everything. He was head of the Smithsonian and Langley Air Force base
[01:56:56.740 --> 01:57:00.260]  named after him and stuff but he wasn't able to get this plane off the ground literally but
[01:57:00.260 --> 01:57:05.300]  he had these other guys that took a very different approach and just a couple of bicycle mechanics
[01:57:05.300 --> 01:57:11.060]  but they were very smart about it and so that's the key thing. It isn't always a large group of
[01:57:11.060 --> 01:57:17.380]  people or the people who are recognized as academic experts who have all of the different accolades
[01:57:17.380 --> 01:57:24.660]  and titles with them as well. Three little birds says AI will have hallucinations in war.
[01:57:25.540 --> 01:57:32.340]  Yeah we need that don't we. There's enemies over here. I think War Pete and Trump are already
[01:57:32.340 --> 01:57:40.820]  having hallucinations. They're having hallucinations to do that so yeah. DG8 says why would a Mormon
[01:57:40.820 --> 01:57:46.980]  clown like Glenn Beck be any authority on anything? Yeah yeah he always wants to present himself as
[01:57:46.980 --> 01:57:53.860]  the moral authority so yeah but that actually I believe you know when that is the type of thing
[01:57:53.860 --> 01:57:59.860]  that George Washington I believe would say. If you go back and look at his writings he was very
[01:57:59.860 --> 01:58:06.180]  much about all the founders were very much about moral character and so they understood the
[01:58:06.180 --> 01:58:12.500]  importance of that and the importance of having moral people as leaders. We have given up on that
[01:58:12.500 --> 01:58:17.940]  and that needs to be called out. I agree I'm not you know I'm not a Glenn Beck supporter at all
[01:58:17.940 --> 01:58:22.500]  but you know I think that part of it was right but I think you know the criticism of that
[01:58:22.500 --> 01:58:27.060]  as I said you know people would look at that and say well isn't it interesting that this guy
[01:58:28.180 --> 01:58:34.020]  is saying the kind of stuff that we've heard Glenn Beck say and they recognize that you could
[01:58:34.980 --> 01:58:38.500]  influence the AI that it's not thinking on its own but you're influencing it
[01:58:39.060 --> 01:58:43.460]  and yet they won't recognize that on so many other things. People are just going to take
[01:58:43.460 --> 01:58:48.100]  this output from the computer as if it was objective truth and nothing could be further
[01:58:48.100 --> 01:58:54.500]  from the truth. Cletus 555 says someone should tell War Pete that Sarah Connor would not approve
[01:58:54.500 --> 01:59:01.700]  of AI in the military. Well let's talk about the data centers. There's a couple of different things
[01:59:01.700 --> 01:59:08.020]  that have been proposed. One of them they said when you look at the math for the power plants
[01:59:08.020 --> 01:59:13.060]  that are coming out has anybody done the math about how many hundreds of new nuclear power
[01:59:13.060 --> 01:59:22.500]  plants the U.S. will need by 2028 for all these AI jerks to be powered and this came out from
[01:59:22.500 --> 01:59:27.300]  zero hedge and they're absolutely right. When you look at the number of data centers and the amount
[01:59:27.300 --> 01:59:31.300]  of power that they're going to use that is astronomical nothing is even really being done
[01:59:31.300 --> 01:59:37.460]  about it. The Department of Energy recently forecast that data centers would need 100 gigawatts
[01:59:37.460 --> 01:59:44.900]  of new peak capacity by 2030 the equivalent of about 100 new nuclear power plants.
[01:59:46.100 --> 01:59:50.660]  So are they going to run these things through and build them really really fast?
[01:59:51.300 --> 01:59:56.820]  Operation warp nuclear power plant you know we're not going to take our time we've got to get it
[01:59:56.820 --> 02:00:02.900]  done yesterday so let's run through this. Already accounting for 51 gigawatts of demand today data
[02:00:02.900 --> 02:00:08.900]  centers are looking to add as much as 72 gigawatts over the next three years according to Morgan
[02:00:08.900 --> 02:00:15.780]  Stanley. There's about 25 gigawatts of new energy generation ready to come online in that same time
[02:00:15.780 --> 02:00:23.540]  frame mostly in the form of natural gas turbines but that'll leave a gaping hole of 47 gigawatts
[02:00:24.660 --> 02:00:31.220]  and it follows a similar estimates from across the industry. So again when you look at
[02:00:33.060 --> 02:00:38.500]  what the estimates are from Microsoft they're going to need about one nuclear power plant
[02:00:38.500 --> 02:00:42.180]  every week. You think that's going to happen? That's not a chance that's going to happen.
[02:00:43.220 --> 02:00:51.220]  Big Tech is asking for 17 new large reactors within the next three years. The problem is
[02:00:51.220 --> 02:00:58.820]  that they aren't building any right now so they need another 17 but they're not building any
[02:00:58.820 --> 02:01:05.380]  right now. However China is in the process of building 17 so in the U.S. they say we need
[02:01:06.820 --> 02:01:12.740]  building 29 rather in the U.S. they say we need 17 but they're building none. I don't know how
[02:01:12.740 --> 02:01:18.900]  many China thinks that they need but they're building 29 of them. We talk about some kind
[02:01:18.900 --> 02:01:25.060]  of an arms race or space race or whatever it is just assuming that you really wanted to have this
[02:01:25.620 --> 02:01:30.020]  stuff. There's no way that these people are going to keep up with China and again it goes back to
[02:01:30.020 --> 02:01:36.660]  the energy. Because of the Paris Climate Accord 2015 they said China and India can build as many
[02:01:36.660 --> 02:01:42.660]  and as dirty a power plant as they wish and so they can build very very cheap, cheap to operate
[02:01:42.660 --> 02:01:48.420]  and cheap to create because they're not cleaning up anything. They can build up real cheap and dirty
[02:01:48.420 --> 02:01:53.140]  coal power plants and they have. They've been opening them at a furious rate and now they're
[02:01:53.140 --> 02:01:59.780]  also building nuclear power plants, 29 of them. And just like all manufacturing,
[02:02:00.420 --> 02:02:04.500]  AI is going to need a lot of power. I mean you need a lot of power if you're going to build,
[02:02:05.220 --> 02:02:09.940]  if you're going to manufacture stuff and heat things up for cars and metal and things like
[02:02:09.940 --> 02:02:15.860]  that. That requires a lot of power, a lot of heat and we are starved for that type of thing
[02:02:15.860 --> 02:02:21.140]  and the Green New Deal type of mindset, this climate change mindset, has completely destroyed
[02:02:21.140 --> 02:02:27.860]  manufacturing in the UK and is doing it now in Germany as well. But we can't keep up with the AI
[02:02:27.860 --> 02:02:34.660]  either. China has been given a monopoly in all this stuff and this has structurally been put in
[02:02:34.660 --> 02:02:41.860]  place by all these western governments. The US only added 51 gigawatts in 2024 compared to China
[02:02:41.860 --> 02:02:50.420]  adding 429 gigawatts. So about 10 times the amount. Now this is partially due to China's
[02:02:50.420 --> 02:02:56.340]  skilled and proficient construction force. But they also are able to do things on the cheap.
[02:02:57.460 --> 02:03:02.100]  What happened to the army of nuclear construction workers that were trained for the reactors that
[02:03:02.100 --> 02:03:08.340]  we built recently in Georgia, you ask? Well they quit building nuclear power plants in order to
[02:03:08.340 --> 02:03:13.060]  build data centers. So you're going to wind up with data centers but you're not going to have
[02:03:13.060 --> 02:03:17.460]  any power to run those data centers. That's the point they're making. In other words, you've got
[02:03:17.460 --> 02:03:21.700]  a limited number of workers here so they rush them out to build some nuclear stuff and say no
[02:03:21.700 --> 02:03:28.900]  but wait it's a higher priority for us to do the data centers. So it's crazy. With the average time
[02:03:28.900 --> 02:03:34.660]  for connecting new demand to grid succeeding eight years, where's all this power going to come from
[02:03:34.660 --> 02:03:39.540]  in the short term? Again, they want this in three years but the average time to build these things
[02:03:39.540 --> 02:03:44.820]  is eight years and they haven't even started yet. Why don't we just take a supersonic jet engine
[02:03:44.820 --> 02:03:51.460]  and screw it to the ground? Well there's a company that wants to do just that. Boom Supersonic has
[02:03:51.460 --> 02:03:57.380]  unveiled their superpower natural gas turbine capable of producing 42 megawatts of electricity
[02:03:57.380 --> 02:04:02.580]  each. The company was originally designing a supersonic jet turbine for use on next generation
[02:04:02.580 --> 02:04:08.180]  airliners but they quickly recognized the disturbing demand for new energy generation capacity
[02:04:08.180 --> 02:04:14.020]  and they are now seizing the moment. 90 days from the concept of doing this,
[02:04:14.980 --> 02:04:21.780]  once they put the concept out, they now have 1.3 billion dollars worth of back orders for the
[02:04:21.780 --> 02:04:28.660]  turbines. So they've been making money at 69 million dollars per day. Boom turbines have the
[02:04:28.660 --> 02:04:33.620]  benefit of not requiring water cooling systems due to their advanced materials used in the
[02:04:33.620 --> 02:04:40.260]  turbines construction, specifically designed air cooling systems. Given the strong opposition to
[02:04:40.260 --> 02:04:47.700]  water usage in smaller towns, this gives boom a major leg up, especially in dry areas. I guess
[02:04:47.700 --> 02:04:54.100]  my question would be then, what about sound? I mean they are calling it boom. I wonder what it
[02:04:54.100 --> 02:04:59.380]  sounds like when you've got one of these jet engines turbines screwed to the ground but running
[02:04:59.380 --> 02:05:05.620]  constantly in your neighborhood. Their capacity for producing the supersonic turbines is expected
[02:05:05.620 --> 02:05:12.580]  to reach roughly 100 per year by 2030, which is about four gigawatts of new gas turbine energy.
[02:05:13.220 --> 02:05:18.980]  So no, it won't plug the demand gap through 2030 and it certainly won't plug the massive gap with
[02:05:18.980 --> 02:05:23.620]  China, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Either more gas turbine producers
[02:05:23.620 --> 02:05:28.980]  will need to step up over these new few critical years or data centers are going to start stacking
[02:05:28.980 --> 02:05:32.180]  up as nothing more than order dots.

[02:06:28.980 --> 02:06:37.700]  So then the next issue is, well what about putting them in space?
[02:06:38.740 --> 02:06:45.460]  Well the orbital data space race has now officially begun. Data centers in low earth orbit are at least
[02:06:45.460 --> 02:06:52.740]  the race to get these AI chips into space. It's a new space race that is taking shape. Elon Musk,
[02:06:52.740 --> 02:06:57.300]  Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, as a matter of fact I saw last week Sam Altman was looking at rocket
[02:06:57.300 --> 02:07:05.460]  technology. They are all very far behind Elon Musk. Elon Musk produces more launches than all
[02:07:05.460 --> 02:07:13.780]  of the countries and companies combined at this moment. Jeff Bezos with his rocket company,
[02:07:13.780 --> 02:07:20.980]  Blue Origin I think it's called, again it looked like at the beginning it was going to be competition
[02:07:20.980 --> 02:07:26.900]  for Elon Musk but he's really fallen behind in that race. Jeff Bezos when he was in college was
[02:07:26.900 --> 02:07:31.300]  heavily influenced by a book that I actually enjoyed. I thought it was a very interesting
[02:07:31.300 --> 02:07:38.180]  idea. George K. O'Neill, the book is called High Frontiers and the idea was let's do manufacturing
[02:07:38.180 --> 02:07:46.660]  in space because we have essentially a tremendous amount of energy can be had there because it's
[02:07:46.660 --> 02:07:52.420]  very easy to achieve extremely cold temperatures or extremely hot temperatures just by painting
[02:07:52.420 --> 02:07:59.540]  something black or white. You have the cold, the super cold of space but you can also heat
[02:07:59.540 --> 02:08:04.900]  things up quite a bit if you paint it black and absorb the sun's rays without any atmosphere
[02:08:04.900 --> 02:08:10.580]  clouds in the way. And so their idea was well let's mine a lot of materials off the moon and
[02:08:10.580 --> 02:08:20.420]  use maglev rail to send the materials up into near orbit. They have these different areas
[02:08:20.420 --> 02:08:25.940]  called Lagrange Libration Points that are gravitationally neutral areas between the Earth
[02:08:25.940 --> 02:08:31.220]  and the moon and so you don't have to fight to keep something in that area. So we put our
[02:08:31.220 --> 02:08:37.860]  factories up there. They get the advantage of you know cold, extreme cold, extreme hot
[02:08:38.820 --> 02:08:44.180]  which is always can be exploited for energy and we do manufacturing there and then we just drop it
[02:08:44.180 --> 02:08:50.340]  down to Earth afterwards. Well that's what they're talking about doing with the data,
[02:08:50.340 --> 02:08:55.220]  basically dropping the data down and I thought it had a very interesting parallel to Hugo de
[02:08:55.220 --> 02:09:02.100]  Garris's book The Art of Lake War because again he said as people realize how these billionaires
[02:09:02.100 --> 02:09:06.020]  are trying to screw them with AI, they're going to come after the billionaires. So the billionaires
[02:09:06.020 --> 02:09:13.620]  are going to go off planet. They're going to go to some of these low orbit areas, Lagrange Libration
[02:09:13.620 --> 02:09:18.420]  Points or something like that to live, to defend themselves and to fight back against people. Well
[02:09:19.620 --> 02:09:23.940]  the key thing is going to be the data. That's where the point of conflict is and so right now
[02:09:23.940 --> 02:09:28.020]  what they're doing is they're thinking about putting the data centers into those areas.
[02:09:28.660 --> 02:09:34.100]  Very interesting parallel that was there. People hate these things and number one and number two,
[02:09:34.100 --> 02:09:41.140]  there's a tremendous amount of energy that is available in space. So Musk's SpaceX is
[02:09:41.140 --> 02:09:46.260]  planning to raise 30 billion dollars at a one and a half trillion dollar valuation with some
[02:09:46.260 --> 02:09:53.700]  of the proceeds expected to be used for space-based data centers. Musk has the only capable space
[02:09:53.700 --> 02:09:59.460]  program that could rapidly deploy space-based data centers at scale. Neither China nor Russia,
[02:10:00.100 --> 02:10:08.180]  not Bezos's Blue Origin. None of them have this capability except for Musk. Sam Altman of Chat GPT
[02:10:09.140 --> 02:10:14.260]  attempted to buy rocket startup Stokespace this past summer with the intent of joining the space
[02:10:14.260 --> 02:10:20.580]  race to launch AI chips into orbit. Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Bezos's Blue
[02:10:20.580 --> 02:10:26.980]  Origin had a team working for more than a year on technology needed for orbital AI data centers. A
[02:10:26.980 --> 02:10:32.340]  person familiar with the matter said, Musk's SpaceX plans to use an upgraded version of its
[02:10:32.420 --> 02:10:38.340]  Starlink satellites to host AI computing payloads. Pitching the technology as part of a
[02:10:38.980 --> 02:10:43.780]  share sale that could value the company at 800 billion dollars according to people involved in
[02:10:43.780 --> 02:10:49.220]  discussions. The push to move data centers into low Earth orbit is all about sidestepping Earth's
[02:10:49.220 --> 02:10:55.140]  power constraints and soaking up precious resources, harnessing essentially limitless
[02:10:55.140 --> 02:11:02.100]  solar energy and leveraging space's near zero thermal environment to keep the advanced AI chips
[02:11:02.100 --> 02:11:08.180]  cool. Taking resource intensive infrastructure off the Earth has been an idea for years,
[02:11:08.180 --> 02:11:13.220]  but it has required launch and satellite costs to come down and we are now nearing that point,
[02:11:13.940 --> 02:11:21.140]  said one person involved in this. Let's remind readers that SpaceX is effectively America's
[02:11:21.140 --> 02:11:27.540]  rocket program. It leads the world by light years and if you look at the number of spacecraft
[02:11:27.540 --> 02:11:45.060]  launched by providers, you see that they have 854 launched by SpaceX. Number two is China at 89,
[02:11:45.540 --> 02:11:54.820]  so one-tenth of that. And then you have Russia at 29 and the United Launch Alliance, I'm not sure
[02:11:54.820 --> 02:12:00.420]  who that is, but that is down at 29. And then the rest of the people are like, you know, one, two,
[02:12:00.420 --> 02:12:12.660]  three, five, eleven, things like that. But SpaceX, 854, uniquely positioned to scale the data centers
[02:12:12.660 --> 02:12:20.740]  and space quickly. And so the lowest cost place for data centers is space. When 300 gigawatts of
[02:12:20.740 --> 02:12:27.140]  computer data center, you can power and cool in space when you have continuous solar and you don't
[02:12:27.140 --> 02:12:32.660]  need any batteries and you don't need to worry about cooling water either. So I think that's
[02:12:32.660 --> 02:12:42.260]  probably going to go. So as one company put it, the galactic brain, we really will be uploading
[02:12:42.260 --> 02:12:49.860]  and downloading. As US firms are planning to do this, another company called Etherflux,
[02:12:49.860 --> 02:12:56.100]  a space-based solar power company, announced its plans to build a constellation of modular solar
[02:12:56.100 --> 02:13:03.300]  energy harvesting satellites in low earth orbit. I'm not in favor of that at all. We've talked
[02:13:03.300 --> 02:13:07.860]  about that before, but I won't get into it. Now the company has announced that it aims to join the
[02:13:07.860 --> 02:13:14.420]  race to build data centers in orbit. The company's new galactic brain project aims to circumvent the
[02:13:14.420 --> 02:13:20.500]  energy intensive issue of cooling data centers on earth by sending them to space. So that's
[02:13:20.500 --> 02:13:28.100]  yet another company. But again, the one that can cash the checks essentially, all these promises
[02:13:28.100 --> 02:13:36.820]  is going to be Elon Musk again. So he's even talking about making it public, but he says he
[02:13:36.820 --> 02:13:44.420]  wants to do the public funding. He said orbital data centers are necessary. As Goldman Sachs
[02:13:44.420 --> 02:13:52.500]  report from earlier this year point out, AI-driven energy demand could rise 165% just by 2030. There's
[02:13:52.500 --> 02:13:56.500]  no way that we're going to get that much done. But Musk is confirming that he's going public
[02:13:57.300 --> 02:14:06.100]  and he says that he wants to do this at a point where it's going to be put out for retail investors,
[02:14:06.100 --> 02:14:12.340]  in other words, small investors. They're much easier to bilk, I think. SpaceX is preparing a
[02:14:12.340 --> 02:14:18.420]  record-breaking IPO targeting a valuation of about one and a half trillion with expectations
[02:14:18.420 --> 02:14:24.820]  to raise 30 billion or more and debut in the second half of 2026. Bloomberg's reporting that
[02:14:24.820 --> 02:14:33.300]  the offering would surpass Saudi's Aramco 2019 listing and become the largest IPO ever in history.
[02:14:34.020 --> 02:14:38.420]  A lot of money to be made or lost in these things depending on your perspective.
[02:14:39.060 --> 02:14:46.420]  But this is where it's going. And do we have Gerald? Have we connected with Gerald? Okay,
[02:14:46.420 --> 02:14:50.340]  we're going to continue this discussion then a bit with Gerald. I'm interested to get his take on
[02:14:50.980 --> 02:14:54.740]  what's coming up. We're getting close to the end of the year, so it's time to start looking at some
[02:14:55.540 --> 02:15:01.780]  projections for next year. And I'm sure that Gerald is as upset as I am about what we see
[02:15:01.780 --> 02:15:19.700]  happening in Venezuela. So we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
[02:16:01.780 --> 02:16:25.620]  Here's golf legend John Daly. Hell yeah, these winds are piling up faster than my divorces.

[02:17:49.060 --> 02:17:53.780]  important right now to really understand the times that we're in. Things are changing extremely
[02:17:53.780 --> 02:18:00.020]  rapidly. And Gerald has always had his ear to the ground and his eyes on the horizon. And he
[02:18:00.020 --> 02:18:06.420]  understands what's coming. He finds some great takes there at TransJournal. So joining us now
[02:18:06.420 --> 02:18:09.140]  is Gerald Salenti. Thank you for coming on, Gerald. Appreciate it.
[02:18:09.140 --> 02:18:11.860]  Oh, thank you for what you're doing. Thanks for having me on.
[02:18:11.860 --> 02:18:19.860]  Well, thank you. I've been talking this program about the future of AI. And a lot of people said,
[02:18:19.860 --> 02:18:24.340]  you know, well, there's a couple of different options, the way this could go. We could have
[02:18:24.340 --> 02:18:29.220]  this bubble where they get out ahead of everything. That could crash like dot com. And I thought for
[02:18:29.220 --> 02:18:33.140]  the longest time that was going to happen. They said the other possibility is that it actually
[02:18:33.140 --> 02:18:39.940]  works as promised and it takes everybody's jobs. So we could go into a depression just like that,
[02:18:40.500 --> 02:18:47.380]  instantly as MIT is saying. Well, we think that it could take 12.5% of the jobs right now. Well,
[02:18:47.380 --> 02:18:51.700]  you're talking about depression level unemployment instantaneously imposed if they do something like
[02:18:51.700 --> 02:18:55.700]  that. Whether or not it works. I mean, they could still fire everybody. And then if it doesn't work,
[02:18:55.700 --> 02:19:00.980]  we're in even deeper doo-doo, right? Because they fired everybody and now the new machine doesn't
[02:19:00.980 --> 02:19:05.300]  work. But those are the two possibilities that I saw somebody talking about. And I said, yeah,
[02:19:05.300 --> 02:19:09.860]  but there's a third one. And that is that the Trump administration is so hell bent on getting
[02:19:09.860 --> 02:19:17.620]  this. They now see this as an existential threat to their power and to their military hegemony.
[02:19:17.620 --> 02:19:22.100]  And I think they're going to pour everything into this. I mean, they're talking about it being like
[02:19:22.100 --> 02:19:27.620]  another Manhattan project or the Apollo space program. And they're also trying to shut down
[02:19:27.620 --> 02:19:33.940]  any opposition at state or local government, which I think is about the impact of these data centers
[02:19:33.940 --> 02:19:38.100]  on the power grid or on the people who live around them that be pushed back against that.
[02:19:38.100 --> 02:19:42.580]  So they want to shut that down. And yet I was talking earlier about how we just don't have the
[02:19:42.580 --> 02:19:47.620]  capacity to build the kind of data centers that they need for all this stuff. So, you know,
[02:19:47.620 --> 02:19:51.140]  it's a big question as to what's going to happen. It takes about eight years for these things to
[02:19:51.140 --> 02:19:57.060]  roll out. They need 17 of them. There's currently zero in progress being built in terms of nuclear
[02:19:57.060 --> 02:20:05.220]  reactors, whereas China is right now has 29 nuclear actors, nuclear power plants under
[02:20:05.220 --> 02:20:11.220]  construction. And they're adding multiple coal power plants all the time as we're shutting ours
[02:20:11.220 --> 02:20:15.060]  down. So what do you see happening with all these different things coming together?
[02:20:15.700 --> 02:20:20.980]  There's going to be an AI bust. First of all, AI is the future. Love it, hate it. Again,
[02:20:20.980 --> 02:20:24.820]  it's trend forecasters. It's not what you like, what you want, what you wish for. It's what is.
[02:20:25.460 --> 02:20:30.500]  And it's going to take over. And it's already doing it. And trends are born, they grow,
[02:20:30.500 --> 02:20:35.780]  they mature, reach old age and die. You and I are old enough to remember when the internet
[02:20:35.780 --> 02:20:42.020]  revolution began. Think about it when it was just born. And when it just became popular,
[02:20:42.020 --> 02:20:48.420]  like in the early 90s, you couldn't be doing what we're doing right now. Remember, you'd watch it
[02:20:48.420 --> 02:20:54.580]  like a movie or something on the screen and the people would move like this, right?
[02:20:56.980 --> 02:21:00.900]  Yeah, I was using that when we were just doing text. All you could do is text,
[02:21:00.900 --> 02:21:05.380]  send it back. And that was even slow, right? I remember the early days of DARPAnet and ARPANet
[02:21:05.380 --> 02:21:09.140]  and things like that. Yeah. And you had to discad to put in there and everything else.
[02:21:10.020 --> 02:21:17.780]  So AI has just been born. It's an infant who was born only in 2022 to the general public.
[02:21:18.980 --> 02:21:24.340]  You don't invest all your money in the infancy. Yeah. So now let's go.
[02:21:25.780 --> 02:21:31.780]  We have forecast there's going to be a dot-com bust. And this is very important. Some 50 percent
[02:21:31.780 --> 02:21:40.180]  of our GDP this year has been boosted by all this money being spent in AI. 50 percent. Okay. Now,
[02:21:41.940 --> 02:21:46.580]  once upon a time, as you know, a guy that you really like and look up to, so I don't want to
[02:21:46.580 --> 02:21:58.660]  be disrespectful. There he is. Yeah. Slippery. I did this t-shirt back in 1992. Of course,
[02:21:58.660 --> 02:22:03.300]  I know you can't stand him for all the crap he's done. I was being facetious. But anyway,
[02:22:03.940 --> 02:22:08.500]  he brought China into the World Trade Organization. Now, this is all about AI.
[02:22:09.780 --> 02:22:14.020]  Before China came into the World Trade Organization, I mentioned this to you before,
[02:22:14.020 --> 02:22:20.820]  some 10 percent of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college. Now nearly 70 percent.
[02:22:22.260 --> 02:22:29.220]  Young people are totally AI high-tech addicted. They're going to college not to take courses in
[02:22:29.780 --> 02:22:36.180]  transgender studies or odd history or, you know, other stupid worthless crap.
[02:22:37.140 --> 02:22:44.420]  They're very much involved in AI. So again, in your magazine, the Trends Journal,
[02:22:45.700 --> 02:22:52.100]  this is an article that came out on Financial Times. China plans limited access to Nvidia's
[02:22:52.100 --> 02:22:59.540]  H200 chips despite Trump approval. Beijing signals official push to buy domestic AI
[02:22:59.620 --> 02:23:08.500]  processors, one after another. Investors flock to Chinese AI.
[02:23:12.340 --> 02:23:17.940]  The Chinese are going to take over the AI world. You don't have to be good at math to figure this
[02:23:17.940 --> 02:23:24.340]  out. What do they got? 1.4 billion people? What do we have? About 340 plus million?
[02:23:25.060 --> 02:23:34.180]  Mm-hmm. Again, we write it in the magazine every week. They're investing very, very heavily in AI.
[02:23:34.980 --> 02:23:39.860]  And they're investing in power to make the AI work. You know, they're building data centers here,
[02:23:39.860 --> 02:23:44.900]  but they don't have the power to run the data centers. And they have been given, I've said many
[02:23:44.900 --> 02:23:49.700]  times, when you look at the Chinese price, right, things like intellectual property theft,
[02:23:49.700 --> 02:23:53.940]  currency manipulation, slave labor, all these different things. Now they've added,
[02:23:54.820 --> 02:24:00.740]  since the Paris Climate Accord and things like that, they're giving them a monopoly on cheap
[02:24:00.740 --> 02:24:04.980]  energy. That's going to be one of the most important things because all manufacturing is
[02:24:04.980 --> 02:24:10.740]  very energy intensive. And especially this new AI is very energy intensive. So they have set them
[02:24:10.740 --> 02:24:18.500]  up to win. Yep. And there's going to be a dot-com bust, and that's going to crash the markets.
[02:24:19.140 --> 02:24:25.220]  So let me ask you, though, in terms of the dot-com bust, because a lot of that is about Nvidia.
[02:24:25.220 --> 02:24:31.620]  And Jensen Hwang is, you know, always on the phone with Trump, he says. And I can believe it,
[02:24:31.620 --> 02:24:38.500]  because Trump is really obsessed with AI. If things start looking bad, do you think,
[02:24:38.500 --> 02:24:43.140]  just like the two big-to-fail banks, are they going to step in and prop that up? And would that keep
[02:24:43.140 --> 02:24:49.140]  it? They could prop it up all they want. They're not going to win. Oh, I know, but I'm saying just
[02:24:49.140 --> 02:24:54.420]  in terms of the stock market. China just told Trump, keep your Nvidia chips. We don't need them.
[02:24:54.420 --> 02:25:01.540]  Yeah, that's right. They're going to advance on this. The trend has just been born. You don't
[02:25:01.540 --> 02:25:07.940]  invest all your dough in these losing companies. So even if they put a lot of money in, it's just
[02:25:07.940 --> 02:25:12.980]  going to slow down the collapse of the bubble, maybe. It won't slow it down at all. Yeah.
[02:25:13.620 --> 02:25:19.700]  No. China's going to rule on this, and then going back to the loss of jobs. Again, we write the data
[02:25:19.700 --> 02:25:28.500]  in a magazine. China's going robotic like crazy. And so they're going to get rid of all these jobs
[02:25:28.500 --> 02:25:34.660]  that people are doing. Robots are going to replace them. It's the new world order. Love it or hate
[02:25:34.660 --> 02:25:42.180]  it. It's what it is. Again, this is important. A little boy of nothing.

[02:26:55.300 --> 02:27:04.340]  ain't the issue. Mondani, 34 years old, that nobody ever heard of, becomes the mayor in
[02:27:04.340 --> 02:27:13.540]  New York City, the largest city in America. This goes back to AI and losing jobs. Gen Z
[02:27:14.980 --> 02:27:20.660]  was the biggest group that turned out against him, against Cuomo in the primaries.
[02:27:21.620 --> 02:27:28.420]  When they won the election in November, Gen Z and millennials were the biggest turnouts that
[02:27:29.540 --> 02:27:38.260]  blew Cuomo out. Now, as a trend forecaster, you look at the world, huh? What's going on in Nepal,
[02:27:38.260 --> 02:27:46.340]  Madagascar, Morocco, Tanzania? Oh, just Kenya? Oh, just what happened in Bulgaria two days ago?
[02:27:46.580 --> 02:27:54.980]  Mm-hmm. Gen Z's taking to the streets. They're broke and busted. They got no future.
[02:27:56.580 --> 02:28:04.180]  This is serious. What would happen with the other elections? So is this trend then for socialism?
[02:28:04.180 --> 02:28:09.620]  Because, you know, let's say, well, we want the government to give us, what are they going to
[02:28:09.620 --> 02:28:14.100]  push for? Do you see that yet? Are they pushing for universal basic income? They got nothing.
[02:28:14.180 --> 02:28:19.780]  Yeah. They have nothing. They have nothing. And the billionaires just keep getting richer.
[02:28:20.420 --> 02:28:24.340]  You look at the cover of this week's magazine, the Trends Journal. It's all about that,
[02:28:25.780 --> 02:28:33.220]  about how the billionaires are... Oh, here's another China. China signals official push
[02:28:33.860 --> 02:28:38.820]  to buy domestic AI processes. I mentioned that one to you. We're also going back to AI.
[02:28:39.780 --> 02:28:47.700]  And is college worthwhile? Two-thirds of Americans say no. New poll fines. Okay? Yeah.
[02:28:48.740 --> 02:28:53.220]  Yeah, I agree. Yeah. So, yes, they're going to be socialist. Again, it's not what you want,
[02:28:53.220 --> 02:28:58.820]  what you like, what you wish for. It's what is. And they got nothing. They got nothing.
[02:28:58.820 --> 02:29:05.540]  The billionaires own the country. Yeah, I agree. And by the way, this isn't capitalism. It's
[02:29:05.620 --> 02:29:13.060]  fascism. It's the merger of state and corporate powers. That's the words of a guy by the name of
[02:29:13.060 --> 02:29:19.780]  Mussolini. Yep. Yep. That's right. Well, we also look at the war issue. And of course,
[02:29:19.780 --> 02:29:24.900]  we got Mark Ruda, who did the best that he could to try to destroy food production in one of the
[02:29:24.900 --> 02:29:30.900]  most productive countries for food production in the world, the Netherlands. And they kicked him out.
[02:29:30.900 --> 02:29:36.500]  NATO put him in his head, and he said, we're going to have a war that's coming that is going
[02:29:36.500 --> 02:29:41.300]  to be like the ones that our grandfathers had. So these people are pushing into World War III,
[02:29:41.300 --> 02:29:47.220]  as you've always said, you know, when everything else fails, they take us to war. They see that
[02:29:47.220 --> 02:29:53.060]  people are losing it. What's your take on what's going on with Ukraine? Of course, you know, Trump
[02:29:53.060 --> 02:29:58.500]  has pushed very hard to get them to sue for peace, wants them to give up land. They said they're not
[02:29:58.500 --> 02:30:03.220]  going to give up any land. They don't want peace. And you had Zelensky meeting with the leaders of
[02:30:03.220 --> 02:30:09.860]  the UK, Germany and France this week. What do you think is going to happen? More of the same?
[02:30:10.980 --> 02:30:15.540]  Yeah, they're going to Europe is ramping up the war. Yeah. I mean, again, we write the facts,
[02:30:16.100 --> 02:30:21.300]  that little slimeball who's the chancellor over there, Mertz. Germany is the third largest economy
[02:30:21.300 --> 02:30:26.820]  in the world, according to the data, the largest economy in Europe in a recession for two years.
[02:30:26.820 --> 02:30:33.780]  This year, their GDP may grow by 0.2 percent, nothing. They're borrowing a trillion dollars
[02:30:33.780 --> 02:30:38.580]  to build their military and our infrastructure so they could hold the tanks. We got to stop those
[02:30:38.580 --> 02:30:44.180]  Russians. Oh, yeah, the Germans that killed what? Over 25 million in Operation Barbarossa in World
[02:30:44.180 --> 02:30:49.380]  War I. That's the Russians they got to stop. Oh, you like Germany's First World War?
[02:30:49.860 --> 02:30:55.460]  Yeah. France, that little got some Macron with a pecker the size of his pencil, if he has one at
[02:30:56.420 --> 02:31:03.220]  all. We got to fight. We have to build up our military. Europe is all building up their military.
[02:31:03.220 --> 02:31:07.060]  That's right. And they're saying, we got to prepare. Our children are going to die. And,
[02:31:07.060 --> 02:31:10.660]  of course, it's not going to be their children. It'll be your children that are going to die.
[02:31:10.660 --> 02:31:16.580]  Yeah. And again, no, this will be the war when they ask the cat by the name of Einstein that
[02:31:16.580 --> 02:31:21.460]  knew a thing or two about the atomic bomb. What kind of weapons will be used to fight the Third
[02:31:21.460 --> 02:31:26.100]  World War? He said, I don't know, but they'll be using sticks and stones to fight the fourth.
[02:31:26.100 --> 02:31:30.980]  Yeah. All this is a waste of money. It's not building up their economies. They're lying
[02:31:31.540 --> 02:31:36.420]  right out in front of everybody's eyes. But, of course, the media will not report it.
[02:31:36.420 --> 02:31:42.260]  When economies grow, when the products that are manufactured in the country are consumed by the
[02:31:42.260 --> 02:31:48.740]  consumers, these products only go to the military industrial complex. Yeah. You're not consuming
[02:31:48.740 --> 02:31:55.140]  bombs, planes and boats. This is a lot of crap. So what's going to happen, there's going to be a
[02:31:55.140 --> 02:32:00.980]  false flag event. Yeah. That's going to unite the people to fight Russia. I agree. I agree.
[02:32:00.980 --> 02:32:04.820]  And they've done it before. They do it again. Again, I've read this a number of times. I don't
[02:32:04.820 --> 02:32:10.420]  want to go into the whole thing. We were in the Great Depression, 1941. The Great Depression.
[02:32:11.220 --> 02:32:18.260]  Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets on July 26, 1941, because those dirty Japanese
[02:32:18.260 --> 02:32:23.140]  invaded French Indochina. French Indochina? What the hell are the French doing in Cambodia, Laos,
[02:32:23.140 --> 02:32:27.620]  and Vietnam, and you're calling them French Indochina? Oh, you were in Algeria. Morocco was
[02:32:27.620 --> 02:32:34.420]  stealing, robbing, pillaging. The United States, the UK and Dutch cut off three quarters of Japanese
[02:32:34.420 --> 02:32:39.060]  trade, 88% of their oil and stole their money. Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor.
[02:32:39.060 --> 02:32:45.620]  All right. How about 9-11? What preceded 9-11? Oh, the dot-com bust in Nasdaq was down only 80%.
[02:32:45.620 --> 02:32:51.380]  Everybody forgot about it. And then they had the fake housing boom and the derivative scam.
[02:32:53.620 --> 02:32:57.940]  So the same thing's going to happen. They're going to ramp this thing up. And again,
[02:32:59.620 --> 02:33:07.860]  Russia is 100% correct, as we see it, for not wanting to give up the land in the Donbass region
[02:33:07.860 --> 02:33:14.820]  that they've taken. Yeah. And the reason being is that Ukrainians killed over 15,000 people
[02:33:15.620 --> 02:33:20.180]  of Russian descent after they overthrew the democratically elected government of
[02:33:20.180 --> 02:33:28.180]  Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Yes. And who overtook him? Are the Azov's, the Nazi Ukrainians?
[02:33:30.340 --> 02:33:36.260]  And who's the guy playing the president? A little boy that used to play the piano with his penis?
[02:33:37.780 --> 02:33:44.740]  Right? Yeah. Yeah. He got elected on a campaign of peace in 2019
[02:33:44.740 --> 02:33:50.500]  that already had five years of civil war where they were bombing civilians in Donbass. And of
[02:33:50.500 --> 02:33:55.940]  course, our media doesn't talk about that. There's just been a bill introduced, and I'm sure it's not
[02:33:55.940 --> 02:34:03.300]  going to go anywhere. But Lee in the Senate and Massey in the House put out a bill to get out of
[02:34:03.300 --> 02:34:09.300]  NATO. They call it the NATO Act. And they said NATO, for them, stood for not a trusted organization.
[02:34:09.860 --> 02:34:16.180]  That was a great acronym. That definitely sums it up. And in it, Massey recounted what you were
[02:34:16.180 --> 02:34:25.140]  just saying. The promises of the George H.W. Bush administration, James Baker saying,
[02:34:25.140 --> 02:34:29.140]  we're not going to go any further than this. And they've continued to move and to encroach.
[02:34:29.140 --> 02:34:35.700]  I mean, it has been a gradual process of encroachment. And of course, if we look at
[02:34:36.660 --> 02:34:41.860]  the Ukraine that was called the Ukraine before it became a country, it was part of Russia for
[02:34:42.580 --> 02:34:49.220]  400 years. And so you could make a lot better case for Putin going into Ukraine than you could
[02:34:49.220 --> 02:34:55.860]  for us going into Venezuela. Us going into Venezuela is kind of like French Indochina.
[02:34:55.860 --> 02:35:01.860]  This is really 21st century colonialism, isn't it? Yep. Yeah. This is the Trends Journal magazine
[02:35:01.860 --> 02:35:10.580]  back in 2014. See how happy that guy is? That's the United States overthrow of the democratically
[02:35:10.580 --> 02:35:16.580]  elected government of Viktor Yanukovych. Here's the article written by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts.
[02:35:17.140 --> 02:35:22.580]  Washington is driving the world to the final war. It goes on to say Washington concluded that Russia
[02:35:22.580 --> 02:35:28.340]  needed to be confronted with or distracted by problems that would lead the Russian government
[02:35:28.420 --> 02:35:33.700]  less confident or able to counter Washington's aggression elsewhere. Ukraine presented the
[02:35:33.700 --> 02:35:39.540]  perfect opportunity. It talks about how Victoria Nuland boasted that the United States sent
[02:35:39.540 --> 02:35:46.020]  $5 billion to non-governmental organizations to bring democracy to Ukraine. Now remember,
[02:35:46.020 --> 02:35:56.340]  this is going on. You see this picture here? The Sociolympics. Yeah. The Sociolympics is right
[02:35:56.340 --> 02:36:01.620]  before they overthrew the government. The United States, it's right here, leading up to the
[02:36:01.620 --> 02:36:07.860]  Sociolympics, media and government officials warned of looming terror attacks, hotels in disrepair,
[02:36:08.420 --> 02:36:15.540]  filth, yellow drinking water, and homophobes everywhere. They scared the hell out of the
[02:36:15.540 --> 02:36:21.700]  American people. The ratings went way down on TV. They said, don't go to the Sociolympics.
[02:36:22.660 --> 02:36:23.300]  Mm-hmm.
[02:36:23.300 --> 02:36:33.940]  Yeah. Security expert. It's not if. It's not if, but when the Sociolympics terror attack.
[02:36:34.740 --> 02:36:43.780]  Veteran security consultant, Bill Rathborn, Bill Rathcrap, hopes that he's wrong about the
[02:36:43.780 --> 02:36:50.580]  upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but he has more than a hunch that he's not. Quote.
[02:36:51.700 --> 02:36:59.620]  The security threat is higher than it's ever been in the history of the Olympic Games, Rathborn
[02:36:59.620 --> 02:37:06.340]  warned. Quote. In my opinion, it's not a matter of whether there will be some incident.
[02:37:06.980 --> 02:37:14.660]  It's just a matter of how bad it's going to be. Of course, nothing happened, total lies,
[02:37:14.660 --> 02:37:19.700]  but they taught us to hate Russia before they overthrew the government.
[02:37:20.260 --> 02:37:20.740]  That's right.
[02:37:21.380 --> 02:37:22.900]  Nobody talks about this.
[02:37:23.460 --> 02:37:31.860]  Yeah. Yeah. That's right. This has been a very long, steady aggression. The problem is,
[02:37:31.860 --> 02:37:35.460]  is that things are starting to collapse pretty quickly in Ukraine. So that means if they're
[02:37:35.460 --> 02:37:38.260]  going to do something, then they're going to need to do it pretty quickly, right?
[02:37:39.300 --> 02:37:39.940]  So they're feeling the time pressure.
[02:37:39.940 --> 02:37:44.660]  They'll bomb a nuclear power plant. They'll do something.
[02:37:44.660 --> 02:37:49.220]  Well, you have an article about European countries blame Russia for sabotage
[02:37:49.860 --> 02:37:54.580]  without providing evidence. I mean, they're already doing it. You don't even necessarily
[02:37:54.580 --> 02:37:58.820]  need to have an attack. You can just claim that there was an attack, whether there was one or not.
[02:37:58.820 --> 02:38:02.500]  And if there is an attack, then you can blame it on Russia.
[02:38:03.220 --> 02:38:05.220]  Yep. You saw that in the magazine.
[02:38:05.220 --> 02:38:11.540]  Yeah. So what is the sabotage that they're claiming without any evidence?
[02:38:11.620 --> 02:38:22.580]  Yep. Yep. Yeah. It's going to keep expanding and expanding. Yeah. As forecast, battlefield
[02:38:22.580 --> 02:38:32.100]  conditions worsen for Ukraine. Ukraine carries out new strikes on Russian chemical plant.
[02:38:34.020 --> 02:38:39.220]  Europeans, as you mentioned, European countries blame Russia for sabotage without proving
[02:38:39.220 --> 02:38:46.980]  evidence. Putin says Russia does not want war with Europe, but says such a conflict
[02:38:46.980 --> 02:38:54.660]  would be resolved quickly. Germany cracks piggy bank for war spending as new equipment
[02:38:54.660 --> 02:39:04.900]  spending approaches $40 billion in 2025. Yeah. It seems to me like Trump is trying to
[02:39:04.900 --> 02:39:09.700]  pivot away. It's not that he's a peacemaker. It's just that he doesn't want to get into a
[02:39:09.700 --> 02:39:15.700]  war with Russia. He wants to get into a war that he can win. And so it seems to me like
[02:39:15.700 --> 02:39:20.740]  that's what's going on. As he's not only starting the war with Venezuela, but now he's also
[02:39:20.740 --> 02:39:27.620]  threatening Colombia, threatening action in Mexico. What is your take on that? And of course,
[02:39:27.620 --> 02:39:34.420]  the national security statement that came out was highly critical of Europe. The press over
[02:39:34.420 --> 02:39:40.580]  here is not reporting that, but RT reported it. And it was very true what he was saying about
[02:39:41.140 --> 02:39:47.780]  Europe. And yet they only summarize the pejoratives that he has there. But I kind of wonder if that
[02:39:47.780 --> 02:39:53.300]  was for geopolitical consumption or if Trump really believes that. I don't think that he
[02:39:53.300 --> 02:40:00.020]  wants a war with Russia because it'd be difficult to win. I think he does want a war with Venezuela,
[02:40:00.020 --> 02:40:04.340]  Colombia, perhaps even Mexico, because he thinks he could win that. But it's going to be a quagmire
[02:40:04.340 --> 02:40:10.340]  isn't it? We haven't won a war since World War II. That's right. And we haven't won that one
[02:40:10.340 --> 02:40:17.700]  without Russia's help. They were the first ones to beat the Germans. I mean how stupid could anybody
[02:40:17.700 --> 02:40:26.100]  be? That's right. And again, you think we would have invaded Iraq, Libya, and Syria if their major
[02:40:26.100 --> 02:40:34.260]  export was broccoli? Yeah. That's why they're going into Venezuela. And by the way, did you see-

[02:41:39.460 --> 02:41:45.700]  repeatedly warned of Trump issuing unlawful military orders. Oh yeah. Yeah. We played that
[02:41:45.700 --> 02:41:51.860]  clip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And now this is the arrogant little clown boy that says it's okay
[02:41:51.860 --> 02:41:58.820]  to kill people in little boats. Yeah. With no proof of anything. Yeah. An arrogant little piece
[02:41:58.820 --> 02:42:06.980]  of scum. Yeah. A little clown from Fox. Hey, I'm the secretary of defense. Look at me two push-ups.
[02:42:09.380 --> 02:42:14.740]  Yeah. You talk about illegal orders. As we pointed out, you know, the example of,
[02:42:15.140 --> 02:42:22.420]  uh, you know, of taking somebody prisoner and not executing them is somebody who is shipwrecked.
[02:42:22.420 --> 02:42:27.860]  That's the actual example that they use in the military manuals. And when I talked about this
[02:42:27.860 --> 02:42:33.540]  this week, Gerald, I showed a clip from Great Escape. You know, after they capture the prisoners,
[02:42:33.540 --> 02:42:37.620]  they drive them into a field and machine gun them, right? And I said, that's basically what
[02:42:37.620 --> 02:42:42.500]  we're talking about here, right? You're going to ignore all the rules of war. You're going to,
[02:42:42.580 --> 02:42:47.780]  and I think that they, uh, I think they kind of came up with this drug war idea because they
[02:42:47.780 --> 02:42:51.140]  didn't want to remind people, they didn't want to call it prohibition. They didn't want to remind
[02:42:51.140 --> 02:42:56.900]  them what a failure alcohol prohibition had been. And the fact that we actually had a constitutional
[02:42:56.900 --> 02:43:00.340]  amendment for that. They don't want to have any constitutional amendments for any of this stuff.
[02:43:00.340 --> 02:43:06.340]  They don't want to, this has all been against the rule of law. And now they're escalating this. I
[02:43:06.340 --> 02:43:12.340]  mean, this, this takeover of this, uh, thinker that's got between one and two million barrels
[02:43:12.340 --> 02:43:17.300]  of oil on it, that is a major heist. I mean, you know, these people are pirates, aren't they?
[02:43:18.020 --> 02:43:23.940]  Yeah. I mean, why did they take the ship? Because they're going to send oil to Iran?
[02:43:23.940 --> 02:43:24.260]  Yeah.
[02:43:24.260 --> 02:43:25.620]  Then why can't?
[02:43:25.620 --> 02:43:28.900]  Take it because they can. That's, that's why, I mean, you know, it's just,
[02:43:28.900 --> 02:43:31.700]  I mean, really, that's none of my business as an American.
[02:43:31.700 --> 02:43:32.100]  That's right.
[02:43:32.100 --> 02:43:34.900]  Let Venezuela and Iran do what the hell they want. They want to buy
[02:43:34.900 --> 02:43:37.780]  whatever they want to each other. Who are you to say what they should do?
[02:43:38.420 --> 02:43:43.300]  Oh, and this is the other thing. Again, we wrote about it when it was happening.
[02:43:44.340 --> 02:43:49.140]  Trump tried to overthrow the Maduro government back when he was president in 2019 and 2020.
[02:43:51.220 --> 02:43:55.140]  Go Google it up. Listen to the state of the union address. When he bought that little
[02:43:55.140 --> 02:44:02.740]  clown boy of nothing, Juan Guaido, he said, this is the real president of Venezuela. He called,
[02:44:03.460 --> 02:44:10.180]  he called Maduro back then a socialist communist.
[02:44:11.860 --> 02:44:16.260]  Well, I could get him a trip to the old office, right? Like Mount Denny.
[02:44:16.980 --> 02:44:22.500]  You got it. A socialist communist. All right, let's go back now. Had nothing to do about drugs.
[02:44:23.140 --> 02:44:28.340]  They made up this whole drug crap. These boats are 1500 miles. They're little power boats.
[02:44:28.340 --> 02:44:31.620]  They don't come to the United States. They're 1500 miles away.
[02:44:33.380 --> 02:44:37.380]  It's a lot of crap. You don't bomb a boat like this and kill people. How about the people that
[02:44:37.380 --> 02:44:42.580]  were hanging on the side of the boat for 45 minutes they killed? And they sell the crap
[02:44:42.580 --> 02:44:47.060]  that they had armaments and they were going to attack. Premeditated murder.
[02:44:48.500 --> 02:44:53.060]  Forget the outrage. I forgot about the slaughter of the Palestinian people. Who cares about that?
[02:44:55.140 --> 02:45:01.060]  Discuss me to see these MAGA influencers out there. How do you like Megyn Kelly saying,
[02:45:01.060 --> 02:45:05.300]  I want them to suffer. I want them to bleed for a long time, not just kill them right away.
[02:45:05.860 --> 02:45:10.100]  Yeah, it is amazing. I got a comment here from three little birds said, I'll make it to your
[02:45:10.100 --> 02:45:16.340]  next rally, Gerald. When is it planned for? You know, I don't know. And I have to tell you,
[02:45:16.340 --> 02:45:22.260]  you know, it's so disappointing. All these billionaires don't give a penny for peace.
[02:45:22.260 --> 02:45:27.140]  It'll probably be next September, but it's if we're still here, if they don't kill us by then.
[02:45:27.860 --> 02:45:35.380]  And it's heartbreaking. Not a penny for peace. The billionaires are getting richer and richer.
[02:45:35.380 --> 02:45:41.060]  Everybody's getting poorer and poorer. Not a word about peace. Not a word about peace.
[02:45:41.060 --> 02:45:47.460]  Nobody in the major media is allowed to be on with the prostitute media if you talk about peace. Zero.
[02:45:48.420 --> 02:45:56.340]  Zero. You know, this is an article, by the way. Is this the one? No. Yeah, here we go.
[02:45:57.220 --> 02:46:03.460]  Trump willing to seize more oil tankers off Venezuela coast, White House official says.
[02:46:04.500 --> 02:46:12.020]  Official? How about an official piece of crap? Yeah. Official. F you eat this official crap.
[02:46:12.020 --> 02:46:18.180]  You're not an official. You're a piece of scum. And get this in your head, you little clowns.
[02:46:18.820 --> 02:46:26.420]  You're public servants. You got it? No, no, Solente. You're a plantation worker on slave land.
[02:46:28.740 --> 02:46:37.940]  Yeah. And catch it again. The headline. Trump willing to seize more oil tankers.
[02:46:38.740 --> 02:46:47.380]  Yeah, everybody is. Trump is going to go seize them? Hey, fat boy. Hey, fat boy, you're going to go seize them?
[02:46:47.940 --> 02:46:53.860]  Oh, you got five draft deferments in the Vietnam War? Oh, I could have, I could have spur on my ankle.
[02:46:54.820 --> 02:47:02.660]  You got to spur on your brain. Yeah. I draft deferments. And look at the warmongering line.
[02:47:03.300 --> 02:47:10.580]  SOB that lied his way into office. I won't start a war. I'll stop wars. Remember all the lies he said
[02:47:10.580 --> 02:47:16.980]  about being a peaceman when he's running for president? Yeah. One quote after another.
[02:47:16.980 --> 02:47:20.420]  I wonder which one of his sons is going to go down there and fight in the war. Is it going to be
[02:47:20.420 --> 02:47:24.980]  Barron? Is it going to be Donald Trump Jr.? You know, he had a. No, it's going to be the same thing
[02:47:24.980 --> 02:47:30.820]  like Netanyahu, the warmonger whose kids are hiding Miami. Yeah. Yeah. As a matter of fact,
[02:47:30.820 --> 02:47:36.580]  Donald Trump Jr. is doing just fine, isn't he? You point out in Trends Journal, the deal that
[02:47:36.580 --> 02:47:42.740]  he made with Vulcan elements, right? Yep. Getting Pentagon money, you know, part of the military
[02:47:42.740 --> 02:47:48.740]  industrial complex, massive amount of money. I mean, look, it's no different than what we said
[02:47:48.740 --> 02:47:53.460]  about Hunter Biden. You know, how did he get involved in this Ukrainian oil company when he
[02:47:53.460 --> 02:47:58.820]  doesn't know anything about the oil industry? Well, certainly Donald Trump doesn't, Trump Jr.
[02:47:58.820 --> 02:48:05.620]  doesn't know anything about these companies that are getting the $620 million Pentagon loan and
[02:48:05.620 --> 02:48:12.740]  another one. His $4 million stake in unusual machines paid off. And the Pentagon ordered
[02:48:12.740 --> 02:48:20.820]  3,500 drone motors, she pointed out. And, you know, this is how he's cashing in. I've got a
[02:48:20.820 --> 02:48:26.980]  couple of questions here for you, Gerald. On Rumble, DG8, thank you, says, David, can you ask
[02:48:26.980 --> 02:48:33.140]  Gerald about Saudi Arabia joining BRICS and selling oil on precious metals? Is Venezuela
[02:48:33.140 --> 02:48:37.140]  about preserving the dying U.S. petrodollar? Do you think that's an aspect of it?
[02:48:38.580 --> 02:48:46.900]  You know, they want the oil. There's no question about it. And again, this is very important.
[02:48:46.900 --> 02:48:54.580]  Trump wants to do everything he can to try to boost the economy. That's why they lowered
[02:48:54.580 --> 02:48:59.140]  interest rates again. And when you look at the price of Brent Crude, what is it now selling
[02:48:59.140 --> 02:49:05.140]  for around $61 a barrel? Yeah. He wants to keep oil prices down. Last year at this time it was
[02:49:05.140 --> 02:49:11.140]  like $80 a barrel. So that's why he wants to steal the oil. Well, when he stole the oil,
[02:49:11.140 --> 02:49:16.580]  the price actually went up. I'm just saying what they want. They want to keep the price of oil
[02:49:16.580 --> 02:49:23.940]  down. And again, particularly as you're trying to build up all these places for the AI crap.
[02:49:24.660 --> 02:49:29.700]  So they want to get as much energy in any way they can and steal it as much as they can.
[02:49:29.700 --> 02:49:33.780]  Number two, with Saudi Arabia joining BRICS, you know, it's a guessing game,
[02:49:34.580 --> 02:49:38.260]  because Saudi Arabia is very much involved with the United States. Look what they gave
[02:49:38.260 --> 02:49:43.060]  that little boy of nothing, Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, $2 billion for his company.
[02:49:43.060 --> 02:49:50.580]  Yeah. $2 billion bucks. Yeah. Oh, and look at all the Trump towers and Trump this and Trump that
[02:49:50.580 --> 02:49:57.140]  opening up in the United Arab Emirates and in Saudi Arabia and all of these countries.
[02:49:57.140 --> 02:50:01.940]  That's why they're not, the Arabs have not come out against what Israel is doing
[02:50:01.940 --> 02:50:05.220]  because they're all on the same team. Oh, remember that guy that just came over,
[02:50:05.220 --> 02:50:12.020]  the prince over there, that guy that killed the American reporter? Yeah.
[02:50:12.020 --> 02:50:20.900]  Mohammed bin Chopin. He's been chopping people up. Yeah. MBS. Yeah. Yeah, right. Look at how Trump,
[02:50:22.020 --> 02:50:25.380]  look at the disgusting show he put on with them. Yeah, that's right.
[02:50:26.180 --> 02:50:33.380]  So going back to gold, gold today was up before it went on the air. It was high. It went up to,
[02:50:34.260 --> 02:50:42.820]  it hit a high today of $4,354. It lost all of it when I went back on the, one time we went on the
[02:50:42.820 --> 02:50:53.140]  air. But now when I went, when we came on the air, it was selling at around $4,285. $4,285 bucks.
[02:50:53.620 --> 02:51:04.100]  Yeah. Go back, Trends Journal, September, 2023. We said gold prices bottomed when they hit $1,850.
[02:51:04.900 --> 02:51:08.500]  Go to your Trends Journal, January 2nd, a couple of months later,
[02:51:10.180 --> 02:51:16.820]  2024, golden year for gold. Going up 30% last year. And now it's up,
[02:51:17.780 --> 02:51:23.460]  look at silver prices up over a hundred percent this year. Yeah. Yeah. So
[02:51:25.220 --> 02:51:30.580]  prices are going up because the world is going down. I've been at this for 45 years. Here,
[02:51:30.580 --> 02:51:38.660]  one of my books, Trend Tracking, far better than Megatrends Time Magazine, 1988.
[02:51:39.060 --> 02:51:46.820]  Mm-hmm. That's how I became a trend forecaster. I started buying gold in 1978. $163, I think it
[02:51:46.820 --> 02:51:54.500]  was an ounce. $163 something dollars. And now it's about $4,000, almost $300. Yeah. Okay. Now,
[02:51:55.380 --> 02:52:05.060]  here's the deal. Go back to October 16th. The podcast I did, I said gold prices could drop
[02:52:05.060 --> 02:52:18.100]  some $500 an ounce. A couple of days later, gold hit $4,380 an ounce. A couple of days after that,
[02:52:19.220 --> 02:52:26.820]  a week later, gold dropped some $500 an ounce. Mm-hmm. Now it's down about $100 an ounce
[02:52:26.820 --> 02:52:34.260]  from its high. Okay. Here's the deal. Gold, as we see it, we don't tell people what to do.
[02:52:35.620 --> 02:52:47.380]  Gold has to stabilize strongly in the $4,200 an ounce range, $4,280, $4,260 for a week or two.
[02:52:50.420 --> 02:52:53.700]  And if it stays in that range, or of course if it goes higher,
[02:52:54.260 --> 02:53:04.740]  it's going to keep going higher. If it goes down to the $3,900, $3,800, you could see it drop back
[02:53:04.740 --> 02:53:14.660]  again to about $3,500. Mm-hmm. And then it'll go back up again. And that's the way we see gold
[02:53:14.660 --> 02:53:21.860]  going. And silver, very important. Silver is used in more and more, again, everything going AI,
[02:53:21.860 --> 02:53:25.220]  the more it goes like this, the more it keeps happening, the more use of silver.
[02:53:25.940 --> 02:53:30.340]  So let's say your cell phone busts or your computer, you throw the damn thing away, right?
[02:53:31.380 --> 02:53:37.220]  There's silver in it. Mm-hmm. If your ring doesn't fit you anymore, you want to get it,
[02:53:37.220 --> 02:53:42.100]  you've melted the gold ring, you melt it down, you keep the gold. Mm-hmm. There's gold reserves,
[02:53:42.100 --> 02:53:49.140]  there's no silver reserves. Mm-hmm. Number two, silver prices are going up because people can't
[02:53:49.140 --> 02:53:56.420]  afford to buy gold. Mm-hmm. And they're concerned about the future. So we're positive on both of
[02:53:56.420 --> 02:54:00.180]  them long term, but we're just telling you the short term what to look for. Mm-hmm. Because if
[02:54:00.180 --> 02:54:04.900]  you're interested in buying or selling, you know, something to consider. So that's where we see it
[02:54:04.900 --> 02:54:12.260]  going in that direction. And going back to the bricks, this is important. Again, I started
[02:54:12.260 --> 02:54:19.780]  buying gold in 1978. Now, totally important, you get the Trends Journal. And again, everybody,
[02:54:19.780 --> 02:54:28.420]  you go tonight, you get 10% off. Of course, you're like $2.50 a week. You go back, they didn't say a
[02:54:28.420 --> 02:54:35.220]  word about rising gold prices. We had it in the magazine up until around October. Mm-hmm. Not a
[02:54:35.220 --> 02:54:40.100]  word in the mainstream media. Not a word. It was going over every The Wall Street Journal, the New
[02:54:40.100 --> 02:54:46.260]  York Times, one after another. Not a word. Not a word. They don't want people to know how bad it
[02:54:46.260 --> 02:54:54.020]  was going. Mm-hmm. Number two, there's no relationship between now and 1978 when gold prices
[02:54:54.020 --> 02:55:01.860]  spiked. Mm-hmm. Zero. Here's why. Let's go back to 1978. I had a country called China before
[02:55:01.860 --> 02:55:07.460]  Slick Willie brought him into the World Trade Organization. Mm-hmm. Back then,
[02:55:08.660 --> 02:55:21.780]  China's gross domestic product in 1978 was around $150 billion. Nothing. Mm-hmm. Nothing. Today,
[02:55:22.580 --> 02:55:28.340]  nearly $20 trillion. Here's golf legend John Daly. Hell yeah, these winds are piling up faster than
[02:55:28.340 --> 02:55:32.260]  my divorces. I only spend on Modo, America's social casino. You know, I've won a couple of

[02:55:58.340 --> 02:56:27.060]  Got it? Yeah.
[02:56:28.980 --> 02:56:34.100]  China is going to be the world, as I say, the 20th century was the American century,
[02:56:34.900 --> 02:56:42.020]  but the 21st century is going to be the Chinese century, because the business of China is business
[02:56:42.740 --> 02:56:52.340]  and the business of America is war. China is investing like crazy. They become self-sufficient.
[02:56:53.300 --> 02:56:59.540]  They don't need made in America because the slime balls like Clinton that brought China into the
[02:56:59.540 --> 02:57:05.620]  World Trade Organization went to China, the Western nations, and gave China all the heavy
[02:57:05.620 --> 02:57:11.780]  industry and high-tech technology they never had. Yeah, that's right. And remember when they first
[02:57:11.780 --> 02:57:21.220]  went there, China officially joined two weeks after 9-11. Look at the profits that
[02:57:22.820 --> 02:57:30.740]  BMW, Ford, General Motors, all of these companies that went over to Europe,
[02:57:30.740 --> 02:57:34.820]  from Europe to the United States, that went over to China to get their products made,
[02:57:34.820 --> 02:57:39.700]  the Chinese people were buying them up. They were making a load of money, getting cheap labor,
[02:57:39.700 --> 02:57:44.900]  manufacturing their products there, and then what happened? We don't need your products anymore. Hey,
[02:57:44.900 --> 02:57:53.220]  who's the biggest seller of EV? It's China, isn't it? They're taking over. They don't need
[02:57:53.220 --> 02:57:58.740]  anything that we have. We gave them everything we have, and this is why I have this t-shirt
[02:57:58.740 --> 02:58:06.260]  that you could get if you go to Trends Journal. Yeah, who are you to tell me what to do? Yeah,
[02:58:07.700 --> 02:58:14.420]  yeah. They sold us out. They did. A little slime ball like Bill Clinton wasn't worth a penny.
[02:58:15.460 --> 02:58:23.700]  A little nothing of crap. What's he worth now? About $150 million. Hey, how about Obama? Hey,
[02:58:23.700 --> 02:58:31.220]  look at my mansion, all right? I was a little nobody from Chicago. Look at me now. Hey, hey,
[02:58:31.220 --> 02:58:38.100]  you let me. I'm going to have peace. Remember that lie? Oh yeah, Suzy gets elected. What does he do?
[02:58:39.060 --> 02:58:46.180]  Afghan troop search. Yeah. I want that guy Gaddafi out of there. I want the guys sawed out of there.
[02:58:46.180 --> 02:58:51.380]  Oh yeah, and everybody sucked your crap, didn't they? Oh, and he won the Nobel Peace of Crap
[02:58:51.380 --> 02:58:58.100]  Prize winner like the other craphead who just won it now. Yeah, that's right. While we're talking
[02:58:58.100 --> 02:59:02.580]  about silver and gold, I have another question here from DG8 says, David, can you ask Gerald
[02:59:02.660 --> 02:59:10.100]  about India placing silver at a one to ten ratio to gold? One tenth ratio to gold. I had not seen
[02:59:10.100 --> 02:59:16.820]  that. That is much, much higher price for silver than we've seen here in terms of ratio. And I
[02:59:16.820 --> 02:59:21.060]  don't know exactly. Do you know what he's talking about there in India? No, I'm not. Yeah, I've not
[02:59:21.060 --> 02:59:27.380]  seen that. But I do know that India was retail trade pretty much in India. Part of their
[02:59:27.380 --> 02:59:32.980]  religious thing, it caused that big squeeze for actual physical possession of the metals out of
[02:59:32.980 --> 02:59:39.460]  the London area when they had, it was part of their religious celebration. They typically acquire
[02:59:39.460 --> 02:59:43.860]  gold, but they had a lot of influence who said, well, this year you need to get silver. And so
[02:59:43.860 --> 02:59:50.420]  it created this tremendous whiplash of stuff because they'd already sent a lot of silver out
[02:59:50.420 --> 02:59:56.660]  of London to the US because they're worried that Trump is going to tariff it. And so then it's
[02:59:56.660 --> 03:00:02.420]  going back and forth between the two different areas. We've got Hiboo says, please ask Gerald
[03:00:02.420 --> 03:00:05.940]  if the Venezuela thing is a distraction from the Epstein files to be released.
[03:00:06.500 --> 03:00:11.940]  He always says that when in doubt, take them to war, Venezuela is out of left field for sure.
[03:00:11.940 --> 03:00:17.140]  What do you think? They've talked about that. Well, they just came out with all the people
[03:00:17.140 --> 03:00:24.340]  with pictures of Epstein, Bannon, one little jerk after another, Gates, Clinton, Trump,
[03:00:25.220 --> 03:00:31.060]  and they're going to delete everything that they want so we don't know the truth.
[03:00:31.060 --> 03:00:31.860]  Yeah, that's right.
[03:00:31.860 --> 03:00:35.220]  They're going to delete everything that they want so we don't need the truth.
[03:00:36.340 --> 03:00:42.580]  And Epstein, what a disgusting piece of crap. Oh, didn't Clinton pardon him when he was
[03:00:43.300 --> 03:00:44.580]  for some crap that he did?
[03:00:46.580 --> 03:00:52.020]  Yeah. Well, pretty much they got, you know, the Clinton connection that I saw was Ken Starr, who
[03:00:52.020 --> 03:00:57.780]  basically let all these serious charges against Clinton just go away. And he came after him for
[03:00:57.780 --> 03:01:04.740]  the technical perjury crime about consensual relationship between him and Monica Lewinsky.
[03:01:04.740 --> 03:01:11.300]  And of course, Ken Starr was the defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein. So, you know, it's a club
[03:01:11.300 --> 03:01:14.100]  that we aren't in. I'm glad we're not in that club. But-
[03:01:16.500 --> 03:01:20.100]  This is the Clinton. I didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.
[03:01:20.100 --> 03:01:21.700]  I surely should-
[03:01:21.700 --> 03:01:22.200]  Yeah.
[03:01:24.260 --> 03:01:26.100]  Well, here's an interesting one, Gerald.
[03:01:26.100 --> 03:01:27.140]  What are you talking about?
[03:01:27.140 --> 03:01:28.580]  What are you talking about?
[03:01:28.580 --> 03:01:31.780]  Here's an interesting question here. This is from Jersey Boys 89. He says,
[03:01:32.420 --> 03:01:36.740]  when will housing prices go back down? When DOT 2.0 happens-
[03:01:36.740 --> 03:01:37.620]  They're going down now.
[03:01:38.260 --> 03:01:39.540]  Well, yeah. Will silver and gold-
[03:01:39.540 --> 03:01:40.420]  They're going down now.
[03:01:40.420 --> 03:01:46.580]  He says when the DOT com crash 2.0 happens, will silver and gold and housing prices go down?
[03:01:46.580 --> 03:01:49.460]  Will tuition prices go down? What do you think?
[03:01:49.460 --> 03:01:55.140]  No. When the DOT com crash happens, silver and gold prices are going to skyrocket.
[03:01:56.980 --> 03:02:02.340]  And housing prices are already going down. They're going to keep going down,
[03:02:02.340 --> 03:02:08.020]  but we don't see a housing crash. Prices are definitely going to go down, and
[03:02:10.900 --> 03:02:16.340]  things go up and they go down. I ended up buying three buildings, and you've been up here. You saw
[03:02:16.340 --> 03:02:20.900]  the beautiful buildings I had, pre-revolutionary earth stone buildings. I bought three of them
[03:02:21.780 --> 03:02:33.860]  in 2012 at the bottom of the market. I paid for the 1750 Franz Roggenhaus
[03:02:35.620 --> 03:02:43.060]  with a huge yard where I have the rallies. You ready? $300,000 and I think it was like $75,000.
[03:02:43.700 --> 03:02:46.020]  Wow. That's a deal.
[03:02:46.020 --> 03:02:54.420]  Yeah. Everything was at the bottom. Now it's worth well over $1,375,000.
[03:02:55.220 --> 03:02:59.300]  Because Kingston is one of the hardest spots. People from the city flood up here for the beauty
[03:02:59.300 --> 03:03:07.460]  of the place. Anyway, there's going to be a time to buy real estate. It's not now.
[03:03:08.500 --> 03:03:14.420]  Things are going to go down, but there's a cycle. Again, if we don't get wiped out by war, by the
[03:03:14.420 --> 03:03:26.180]  way, because that'll be the end of life on earth. But minus that, there's a time to buy real estate.
[03:03:26.980 --> 03:03:38.260]  For me, my life has been precious metals in real estate. Yes, housing prices are going to go down.
[03:03:39.220 --> 03:03:45.780]  They're not going to go back up again until they bring mortgage rates down to like the three or
[03:03:45.780 --> 03:03:51.460]  four percent range. And they're not near that now. Well, what do you think is going to happen? That
[03:03:51.460 --> 03:03:57.140]  brings up the issue of Trump getting to appoint the next Fed chair. Was it May of next year,
[03:03:57.140 --> 03:04:03.620]  something like that? You know, lower interest rates. That's going to drive gold and silver up.
[03:04:04.260 --> 03:04:08.580]  Yep. Because the lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
[03:04:09.700 --> 03:04:14.100]  I forgot to go back when we were talking about the BRICS. The BRICS now control,
[03:04:14.900 --> 03:04:20.100]  and again, as I said, there's no relationship between now and 1978. The BRICS are in control
[03:04:20.100 --> 03:04:28.100]  now of some 40 percent of the world's gross domestic product. And they've had enough of
[03:04:28.100 --> 03:04:32.180]  the United States. Yeah, that's right. That's right. So there's going to be the death of the
[03:04:32.180 --> 03:04:43.140]  dollar. So a very bullish on gold and silver. And again, I don't give advice, but you buy it and
[03:04:43.140 --> 03:04:47.700]  you put it away. You buy it, you put it away. Buy it, put it away. Buy it, put it away. Buy it,
[03:04:47.700 --> 03:04:52.980]  put it away. And when you get old, you got it. Yeah, that's right. That's why what Tony does
[03:04:52.980 --> 03:04:58.500]  with his Wise Wolf. It just gradually accumulated on a monthly basis, like a subscription type
[03:04:58.500 --> 03:05:02.740]  thing. That's great. But you know, that's the other part of it. Everybody knows that the financial
[03:05:02.740 --> 03:05:10.340]  system is in the middle of being reset. And all the BRICS people saw how they stole money from
[03:05:10.340 --> 03:05:15.220]  Russia. They don't want to have a part of that. They were already opposed to the U.S. having
[03:05:15.220 --> 03:05:21.060]  hegemony on the financial system and being able to borrow whatever they wanted to indefinitely
[03:05:21.060 --> 03:05:25.140]  and essentially just print all this money up. But now you've got not just the BRICS,
[03:05:25.140 --> 03:05:29.780]  but you've also got the people who are pushing even on the American side with stable coin.
[03:05:30.420 --> 03:05:36.500]  And anybody who's trying to set up some kind of alternative financial system, whether it's
[03:05:36.500 --> 03:05:40.340]  stable coin and tether and all those people, everybody's going out there and accumulating
[03:05:40.340 --> 03:05:46.020]  gold because if you have gold, then that builds your credibility with people that you can actually
[03:05:46.740 --> 03:05:50.740]  essentially cash the checks that you're writing for your new financial system.
[03:05:50.740 --> 03:05:55.540]  So there's a couple of different things out there that people are trying to establish
[03:05:55.540 --> 03:05:58.820]  with financial systems, and they're all in competition with each other to get gold.
[03:05:59.540 --> 03:06:05.380]  Yep. Again, you know, I want to mention this too about Trump, you know, how they say he's out of
[03:06:05.380 --> 03:06:12.980]  his mind. You know, a couple of weeks ago, they had this picture of Trump when he kept falling
[03:06:12.980 --> 03:06:18.980]  asleep at the cabinet meeting several times. And that little clown boy over there on CNN,
[03:06:18.980 --> 03:06:31.540]  the Cartoon News Network, Jake Tapper, he said that, quote, look, Trump's 79 years old.
[03:06:32.260 --> 03:06:43.220]  I mean, like, this is not abnormal for a 79 year old to be sleepy. Hey, a jerk off over there in
[03:06:43.220 --> 03:06:53.780]  CNN. I'm 79 years old. I don't get sleepy. You got it? Fathead. Who the hell are you to say that?
[03:06:54.820 --> 03:07:02.100]  Maybe because you're in crappy shape because you got a crappy head. Don't you tell me that garbage.
[03:07:03.540 --> 03:07:09.060]  Yeah. Yeah. They were talking about how he has this bandage on his hand and it doesn't seem to be
[03:07:09.060 --> 03:07:14.660]  healing. I was looking at that and I said, well, that's really surprising considering how fast his
[03:07:14.660 --> 03:07:21.700]  ear healed. I've always had a question mark about that ear shot that they said, you know, it's like,
[03:07:21.700 --> 03:07:26.020]  how did that thing heal? And he's got no scar on it. It would have just healed just like that,
[03:07:26.020 --> 03:07:28.980]  but he's got a bruise on his hand and he can't get that to heal.
[03:07:30.180 --> 03:07:35.780]  This is the first book I worked on in the 1980s when no one was talking about it.
[03:07:36.740 --> 03:07:45.860]  So I don't want to hear this crap. So we were doing an interview with Gerald Solantini, this is David Knight,
[03:07:45.860 --> 03:07:54.900]  and he fell asleep as we were talking. This is natural for a 79 year old guy. So we understand
[03:07:54.900 --> 03:08:00.420]  that Gerald was sleepy. All right, what if I fell asleep as we're talking? We never have to worry
[03:08:00.420 --> 03:08:09.460]  about that, do we? I'm just saying, what a bunch of crap. Oh, and by the way, Trump eats junk food.
[03:08:10.580 --> 03:08:17.300]  Oh yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he does. He's not on a health kick at all. It's amazing that
[03:08:17.300 --> 03:08:22.660]  he's been able to get as far as he has actually. How about he goes like this, he goes,
[03:08:25.060 --> 03:08:28.100]  hey, how about that man? Could you move like that? Could you move like that? Yeah.
[03:08:29.060 --> 03:08:36.260]  Hey, how about this? Could you do that? Could you do this? All right. Yeah, he's got some issues.
[03:08:37.220 --> 03:08:41.940]  I thought it was funny that he's talking about how he aced the cognitive test when they ask him
[03:08:41.940 --> 03:08:46.900]  questions about elephants and other things like that. It's like, yeah, it's just kind of, I don't
[03:08:46.900 --> 03:08:50.740]  know what kind of a cognitive test they gave him. And I want to make this a thousand percent clear.
[03:08:50.740 --> 03:08:57.220]  As much as I can stand Trump, I couldn't stand genocide Joe Biden. Yeah, that's right. There were
[03:08:57.220 --> 03:09:04.180]  little mongering scum of nothing, Barack Obama, little George E. Bush, a daddy's boy with a pair
[03:09:04.180 --> 03:09:11.060]  of cojones the size of a mothball that got us into the Iraq and Afghan war, slick Willie Clinton,
[03:09:12.020 --> 03:09:18.020]  Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter, oh yeah, who deregulated the airline industry and created
[03:09:18.900 --> 03:09:24.660]  Al Qaeda. Oh, you forgot about Osama bin Laden. Oh no, that was different back then. What was that?
[03:09:24.660 --> 03:09:35.380]  What did they call it on the Brzezinski Al Qaeda that became now? The Mujahedin. Yeah, he actually
[03:09:35.380 --> 03:09:42.340]  had that old warmonger. John McCain was going around to Republican women's meetings and saying,
[03:09:42.340 --> 03:09:47.860]  hey, you want to sponsor Muj? And he had one of the Mujahedins with him. Yeah, that Jimmy Carter,
[03:09:47.860 --> 03:09:55.700]  Jimmy Carter that set the stage for banks to become interstate back then.

[03:11:03.060 --> 03:11:10.260]  One piece of government crap after another. Again, if you didn't call them politicians,
[03:11:10.260 --> 03:11:15.060]  you'd call them gangsters. That's right. Well, I tell you, that really is what is happening
[03:11:15.060 --> 03:11:20.180]  with Venezuela, isn't it? It truly is amazing. I mean, they're just pirates and gangsters,
[03:11:20.180 --> 03:11:27.380]  and he's threatened, well, you're next in Colombia. I guess maybe they want the cocaine market as well
[03:11:27.380 --> 03:11:32.100]  as the oil market. Hey, remember the book was a racket.
[03:11:32.100 --> 03:11:38.100]  That's right. Yeah. Smedley-Bucker, Butler. Yeah. Racketeering and corrupt organizations.
[03:11:38.100 --> 03:11:44.020]  Pretty much just sums up the federal government right there. The story about the silver ratio was
[03:11:44.020 --> 03:11:48.740]  from the Jerusalem Post, DG8 tells us. So I appreciate that. We'll go back and take a look
[03:11:48.740 --> 03:11:55.380]  at that. Jerseyboy asked, what about, he says, would it be a good idea to trade in silver
[03:11:55.940 --> 03:12:02.980]  when it gets to the low 15 to 1 ratio to gold? What's your take in terms of owning silver or
[03:12:02.980 --> 03:12:13.780]  gold? Again, I own both, and I wish I had bought more silver, but very, again, I'm very
[03:12:13.780 --> 03:12:19.860]  blessed for what I have. And so you use your own thinking and keep learning about as much
[03:12:19.860 --> 03:12:25.060]  as you can possibly learn, and then you listen to the different people, and then you decide.
[03:12:26.100 --> 03:12:32.340]  By the way, I read, like we talk about the Israel War, I subscribe to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper,
[03:12:33.380 --> 03:12:39.220]  but I go to Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel, Ynet, everything the Israelis have to say. I also go to
[03:12:39.220 --> 03:12:46.340]  IRNA, ISNA, Press TV, Tehran Times, what do the Iranians have to say? I go to Arab News, Al Jazeera,
[03:12:46.340 --> 03:12:51.940]  Middle East Monitor, Middle East Eye. What do the Arabs have to say? I go to Arab News. Again, I go
[03:12:51.940 --> 03:13:01.140]  to Euronews, France 24, BBC, Guardian, on and on. We listen to what everybody has to say, and then
[03:13:01.140 --> 03:13:07.140]  we say, this is what they're saying, this is our analysis, here's where you see it going. You don't
[03:13:07.140 --> 03:13:13.620]  take one side. You have to be open-minded, and again, you look at things the way they are,
[03:13:13.620 --> 03:13:18.580]  not the way you want them to be. And you've got to make connections between different fields.
[03:13:20.100 --> 03:13:23.940]  Opportunity misses those who view the world through the eyes of their profession.
[03:13:25.300 --> 03:13:31.060]  That's a good quote, yeah. Well, it's kind of interesting how people get tunnel vision over
[03:13:31.060 --> 03:13:34.740]  things. You know, we talk about war and peace. I don't know if you saw this from Mike Huckabee,
[03:13:34.740 --> 03:13:40.100]  where he says, well, Israel didn't attack Qatar. They fired a missile at them, and they fired that
[03:13:40.100 --> 03:13:47.460]  missile at a person. Yes, it killed some other people, but basically it's a personalized missile
[03:13:47.460 --> 03:13:52.420]  is what he's trying to say. And, you know, collateral damage, I guess is the Pentagon likes to
[03:13:52.420 --> 03:14:00.340]  put it. But it'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic in terms of the mass murder, but the lies are
[03:14:00.340 --> 03:14:03.700]  actually kind of getting humorous. They're so obvious that are out there
[03:14:03.700 --> 03:14:07.140]  with these warmongers. Well, they just came out with something, a stupid article about
[03:14:07.140 --> 03:14:15.220]  Neanderthals used to kiss 20 million years ago. How do they know? 20 million years ago? No, no.
[03:14:15.220 --> 03:14:21.620]  Everything began when God told Abraham, or Moses, that this land belongs to the Jewish
[03:14:21.620 --> 03:14:27.460]  people 3,500 years ago. Save your fairy tale for somebody else, Huckabee, Huckleberry.
[03:14:27.460 --> 03:14:32.180]  Don't want to hear your baloney. Yeah, well, I don't believe the fairy tale that he has out
[03:14:32.180 --> 03:14:37.140]  there is what the Bible says. That's the key issue. I think he has created a fairy tale, but
[03:14:37.940 --> 03:14:42.660]  I don't think it's- You know, we don't know. Again, 20 million, 30 million years ago,
[03:14:42.660 --> 03:14:47.700]  there was life on earth. We have no clue what's happened and why we've been wiped out or came
[03:14:47.700 --> 03:14:53.140]  back or whatever it was. And they have no clue. And they're just, to me, you know, who knows?
[03:14:54.100 --> 03:14:59.540]  You know, who knows? 30 million years ago? Yeah. Well, I don't believe those dates either,
[03:14:59.540 --> 03:15:03.540]  and I don't think they can tell when they were kissing. That's what I'm saying. 20 million,
[03:15:03.540 --> 03:15:08.340]  30 years ago, yeah. Yeah, that's a lot of people have a lot of different fables about different
[03:15:08.340 --> 03:15:12.820]  things that are out there, but it truly is interesting. And, you know, when you're talking
[03:15:12.820 --> 03:15:21.700]  about gold, what kind of a target are you looking for? I've seen targets put out there by Goldman
[03:15:21.700 --> 03:15:29.700]  Sachs and JP Morgan and others. They seem to be coming in around $4,900. They don't want to say
[03:15:29.700 --> 03:15:36.420]  $5,000, although Jamie Demon did say $5,000 to $10,000. He thinks that it'd go to pretty soon.
[03:15:36.420 --> 03:15:41.620]  But what do you think? I mean, I've seen a lot of them saying they thought next year $4,900. Maybe
[03:15:41.620 --> 03:15:46.260]  they're pricing in, you know, what Trump is going to do once he gets his Fed chair in there.
[03:15:46.340 --> 03:15:53.700]  Now you see the same thing, $49,500, $5,000. But again, when the dot-com bust happens,
[03:15:53.700 --> 03:15:58.020]  which they won't talk about, and they only started talking about this only a couple of months ago.
[03:15:58.020 --> 03:16:02.180]  We've been talking about it, covering the Trends Journal magazine, February 5th,
[03:16:02.900 --> 03:16:08.020]  dot-com bust 2.0. When the dot-com bust happens, you're going to see gold prices skyrocket.
[03:16:08.020 --> 03:16:16.820]  And silver prices. The toilet paper record in New York Times came out with an article a couple
[03:16:16.820 --> 03:16:21.380]  of days ago that's saying this is different than the dot-com bust because the companies now
[03:16:22.100 --> 03:16:31.220]  have a lot of money behind them, you know, like the big companies. They're not hurting for dough.
[03:16:31.220 --> 03:16:34.980]  That doesn't make a difference. When the markets crash, it's not about the companies,
[03:16:34.980 --> 03:16:39.060]  it's about all the people losing money in the markets and how they're going down.
[03:16:40.340 --> 03:16:47.220]  So back to the point you made about even with the federal government coming in and subsidizing
[03:16:47.220 --> 03:16:53.460]  these companies, if it's clear that everything is moving to China because they've got the
[03:16:54.500 --> 03:16:57.620]  data centers and they've got power for their data centers and they've got
[03:16:58.500 --> 03:17:03.380]  their own domestic chips that they're working on as well as their software.
[03:17:03.860 --> 03:17:08.260]  Once that becomes apparent, then it crashes regardless of whether or not these people
[03:17:08.260 --> 03:17:13.300]  are getting money from the federal government. And I'm telling you, this is going to crash.
[03:17:14.420 --> 03:17:17.700]  It's going to crash and the crash is going to come sooner rather than later.
[03:17:18.820 --> 03:17:23.460]  We're in a holiday season. People are in a holiday state of mind. That still doesn't mean it can't
[03:17:23.460 --> 03:17:30.500]  go down because let's go back to December 2018. Not ancient history. It was the worst
[03:17:30.500 --> 03:17:36.980]  Dow since the Great Depression. And that's when Trump forced Powell to lower interest rates.
[03:17:36.980 --> 03:17:39.940]  Well, it's going to be an interesting year. There's all the more reason for you to get
[03:17:39.940 --> 03:17:44.660]  a subscription to Trends Journal and to be able to identify these trends. Again,

[03:17:48.820 --> 03:17:51.380]  interesting to talk to you. Maybe the next time we talk, we'll get some
[03:17:52.340 --> 03:17:56.020]  projections for the next year, for 2026. Thank you.
[03:17:56.020 --> 03:18:02.180]  Coming out with the top trends very soon, beginning of January. But I'm tired now.
[03:18:05.940 --> 03:18:09.540]  Thank you. Have a great weekend, everybody. Thank you.
[03:18:56.020 --> 03:19:00.020]  God was God
[03:19:02.020 --> 03:19:06.020]  All things were made
[03:19:08.020 --> 03:19:12.020]  May violent through him
[03:19:16.020 --> 03:19:20.020]  In him was left
[03:19:20.020 --> 03:19:24.020]  The light
[03:19:24.020 --> 03:19:28.020]  Of my
[03:19:54.020 --> 03:19:58.020]  God
[03:20:02.020 --> 03:20:06.020]  In the beginning
[03:20:06.020 --> 03:20:10.020]  Was the word
[03:20:10.020 --> 03:20:14.020]  The word with God
[03:20:14.020 --> 03:20:18.020]  The word was God
[03:20:18.020 --> 03:20:22.020]  All things were made
[03:20:22.020 --> 03:20:26.020]  May by Andrew King
[03:20:26.020 --> 03:20:30.020]  In him was life
[03:20:30.020 --> 03:20:34.020]  The light of man
[03:20:34.020 --> 03:20:38.020]  The true light came
[03:20:38.020 --> 03:20:42.020]  Into the world
[03:20:42.020 --> 03:20:46.020]  Though may by him
[03:20:46.020 --> 03:20:50.020]  It knew not him
[03:20:50.020 --> 03:20:54.020]  The Father's
[03:20:54.020 --> 03:20:58.020]  only Son
[03:20:58.020 --> 03:21:02.020]  We've seen
[03:21:02.020 --> 03:21:06.020]  His glory
[03:21:06.020 --> 03:21:10.020]  Seeing His grace
[03:21:20.020 --> 03:21:24.020]  Though he was
[03:21:24.020 --> 03:21:28.020]  In the world
[03:21:28.020 --> 03:21:32.020]  Before us
[03:21:32.020 --> 03:21:36.020]  He was
[03:21:36.020 --> 03:21:40.020]  In the world
[03:21:40.020 --> 03:21:44.020]  Before us
[03:21:44.020 --> 03:21:48.020]  Though he was in
[03:21:48.020 --> 03:21:52.020]  The world
[03:21:52.020 --> 03:21:56.020]  He kept the
[03:21:56.020 --> 03:22:00.020]  Equality
[03:22:00.020 --> 03:22:04.020]  But took the form
[03:22:04.020 --> 03:22:08.020]  Of a friend
[03:22:08.020 --> 03:22:12.020]  Made with us
[03:22:12.020 --> 03:22:16.020]  To thy friend
[03:22:18.020 --> 03:22:22.020]  Jesus
[03:22:48.020 --> 03:22:52.020]  In human form
[03:22:52.020 --> 03:22:56.020]  A humble
[03:22:56.020 --> 03:23:00.020]  Kid
[03:23:00.020 --> 03:23:04.020]  Who paid to death
[03:23:04.020 --> 03:23:08.020]  Death on the cross
[03:23:08.020 --> 03:23:12.020]  Now God has raised
[03:23:12.020 --> 03:23:16.020]  His name on the cross
[03:23:16.020 --> 03:23:20.020]  His name on high
[03:23:20.020 --> 03:23:24.020]  The name above
[03:23:24.020 --> 03:23:28.020]  All other
[03:23:28.020 --> 03:23:32.020]  Names
[03:23:34.020 --> 03:23:38.020]  The name above
[03:23:38.020 --> 03:23:42.020]  All other names
[03:23:42.020 --> 03:23:46.020]  Jesus
[03:23:46.020 --> 03:23:50.020]  The name above
[03:23:50.020 --> 03:23:54.020]  He shall now
[03:23:54.020 --> 03:23:58.020]  In heaven and earth
[03:23:58.020 --> 03:24:02.020]  He shall confess
[03:24:02.020 --> 03:24:06.020]  That Jesus Christ
[03:24:06.020 --> 03:24:10.020]  Is Lord
[03:24:10.020 --> 03:24:14.020]  Lord
