Speaker 1 (00:29):
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's the David Knight Show.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
As the clock strikes thirteen, It's Thursday, the fourteenth of August,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. We're gonna look
at what's going on with the auto industry, from tariffs
killing Japanese automaker's profits and the waning interest in evs.
Then we're gonna look at the AI technocracy and how
they're doing their part to push the own nothing and
be happy agenda. Today we're talking with Tony Arderburn, So

(01:02):
stay with us. Good morning, and welcome to the show.

(02:11):
I hope you're all having a good day so far.
As I said, we're gonna start with the Japanese automakers.
But first I want to say thank you to Brandon
Bennett on Rumble. Thank you very much, Brandon. He says,
glory to God, Amen and con think thank you very
much for that as well. He says God is faithful,
Yes he is. Really do appreciate the support. We can't

(02:33):
thank you enough. I'm gonna look at Japanese automakers. This
is from Zero Hedge. It says Japanese automakers losing twenty
million dollars per day to US tariffs twenty million per day.
They're gonna have to raise prices or go out of business.
They cannot support that kind of daily loss. Japanese automakers

(02:55):
are losing an estimated three billion yen twenty point three
million in combined profits every day the US delays lowering
auto tariffs. According to company data, the full year hit
the full year hit from the duties project at two
point seven trillion in eighteen point three billion, dragging aggregate
opening profits down thirty six percent for six major producers,

(03:15):
excluding Nissan, which is not given a forecast. The US
trays tariffs on Japanese vehicles to twenty seven point five
percent from two point five percent in April, but agreed
last month to cut the rate to fifteen percent. Each
month of delay adds roughly one hundred billion en to
automaker's burden. Nickay reports, of course it was Nissan. We
looked at last month, maybe the month before, where they

(03:39):
had stopped manufacturing or dropped a lot of manufacturing here
in the US. I'm curious to know if it had
anything to do with the tariffs that were being talked about,
if they just saw this as a bad market. Well,
we're going to get priced out. Part of the reason
people buy our cars is they're fairly affordable, and if
they're not affordable anymore, there's no reason to keep manufacturing them.
There in the US, Maza, which gets about one third

(04:01):
of its sales from the US, expected an eighty two
percent drop in net profit, assuming the lower rate would
start August first, for the delays could push it into
the red. Subaru with seventy percent of its sales in
the US forecast a two hundred and ten billion yen
hit and a fifty one percent drop in operating profit
to two hundred billion yen. Of course, they're still making money,

(04:25):
but they're taking a massive hit. In July to it
raised US prices by an average two hundred and seventy dollars,
citing the improved performance of the vehicles rather than the tariffs.
Of course, they're not going to say it's just the tariffs.
They're going to want to They're going to want to
say you're getting some kind of value for the money.
They don't want to sit there and just go, well,
it's you're not getting anything else. It's simply because everything

(04:46):
is more expensive, and you're gonna have to deal with it.
They're not going to want to admit that. They're going
to want to come up with something. Oh, actually we've
given you two more horsepower. We've tweaked something, and so
now the car runs slightly more efficiently. Toyota's accounting group
said there could be further hikes if there is an
appropriate time when customers can accept them. Price hikes carry risks.

(05:08):
A rush of pre hike buying may slow sales later,
higher prices could weaken competitiveness, all things that are just
obvious on the face of things when you look at
what tariffs do. If prices can't fully offset the duties,
automakers must cut costs. Toyota expects savings higher sales volume
in a better model mix to add eight hundred ninety

(05:30):
five point five billion Y into operating profit. Now, this
is what they're hoping for. But there's no telling if
Trump will raise tariffs again. Now this one, Toyota wants
to use its new gas engines for everything. Toyota is

(05:51):
still working to make gas engines more efficient. Despite the
fact that these people in power want to push nothing
but evs. Toyota is working on a better gas engine.
This is it's funny. The government's continually trying to engineer
society and engineer problems that should be unsolvable, and the

(06:11):
Japanese just buckle down and say, well, I think I
can solve that anyway. In all their wickedness, the government
could not conceive of the humble genius of the Japanese
salary man. They could not.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Regulations were meant to kill the cars, not actually be
met by the engineers.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
They could not fathom that someone might just buckle down
and work, you know, one hundred hours a week until
they figure out a solution to the problem. So it
is adamant that the internal combustion engine ICE still has
a bright future despite the rise of electric vehicles. The
world's largest car maker has reaffirmed its long term commitment
to ICE by partnering again internal combustion engine by partnering

(06:53):
with fellow Japanese brand Subaru and Mazda on a new
family of gas engines. Smaller and lighter four cylinder units
are touted as a game changer solution by the company's
chief technology officer. The Japanese automotive giant plans to use
the upcoming one point five and two point zero leader
engines and nearly every conceivable type of powertrain. We're trying

(07:15):
to optimize the new engine for any type of application,
whether it's electric, hybrid, or hydrogen. They're doing their best.
They're working at it. There. Maybe one day we'll be
free of the climate mcguffin, simply thanks to the fact
that these politicians won't be able to outthink these Japanese engineers.

(07:37):
Climate mcguffin may meet its match.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
And they can always regulate it, no matter how great
the gas mileage may be.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
And we're like, you know what, all right, fine, we lied.
The climate's fine, but you still can't have cars. You
got us, You got us. The Japanese out out foxed us.
They made an engine that technically meets all of our standards,
but guess what, you don't get it anyway.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Well.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
The idea of a gas engine and electric application might
sound odd, a plausible scenario exists. Toyota is likely referring
to extended range electric vehicles erevs, or The combustion engine
doesn't drive the wheels, but instead serves solely as a
generator to recharge the battery on the go. The set
up allows the engine to run at optimal speeds for
maximum efficiency. Examples include the BMW I three Rex, the

(08:23):
RAM Charger, Mazda m X thirty scouts, upcoming truck and
suv and Nissans models equipped with e power tech. Tode
has alread announced plans to sell extended range electric vehicles
in China. Of course, we see all over the West
politicians still demand zero emissions. No, we got to get
to net zero, no emissions at all. If your car

(08:47):
produces anything, you can't have it. We're going to take
it away.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
And the extended range electric vehicles is actually the one
logical way of making a quote unquote atric vehicle where
you've got a generator on board to charge your batteries
that you can feed gasoline and the generator can bruce
enough electricity to run the motors.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
And of course I'm not intrinsically opposed to the idea
of even a fully electric vehicle. It's the mandate of it,
it's the pushing of it. It's the fact they're going
to use it as ways to get us all onto
those things. I think if someone wants an electric vehicle
and they go in with their eyes open knowing the
dangers and knowing the likely costs. Sure, go for it

(09:34):
by yourself, that Tesla or any other electric vehicle that
may combust while you're asleep and burn your house down. Sure,
if that's what you want, I suppose go for it.
I just don't appreciate the push towards forcing us all
into them.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
O comm and hear from Den. He says it will
have a head on collision with net zero. Also, it
points out, just like the Chevy Vault that Eric has mentioned,
is you know the good electric car?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Eric Peters thinks the Chevy Vault is the best example
of an electric vehicle. Tota achieved forty one percent thermal
efficiency back in twenty eighteen and could be aiming to
improve that figure further. Its next generation engines will run
not only on fossil fuels, but also on biofuel, hydrogen,
and synthetic fuel. Beyond full hybrids and erevs, TOOT is

(10:30):
also exploring a long range plug in hybrids, with Carlucci
estimating that sixty two miles without sipping any gasoline represents
the tipping point. Everybody has taken an ice platform and
turned it into something that is electrified to some degree,
So why not conceive a platform that is EV native
and see how much we can adapt it to be
used for a plug in hybrid or a full hybrid

(10:52):
without sacrificing any of the new platform's strengths. Much like
Toyota chairman Akio Toyota, who has famously said evs will
never exceed a thirty percent market share, Carlucci maintains that
electric cars are not the sole path to decarbonization. He
argues for power trained diversity, giving customers the freedom to choose.

(11:12):
We will not push evs and markets where there is
no demand. Instead of decarbonization, we need a depoliticization of
these issues. For GM, EV pickup trucks lose drivers over
price and range. The price is too high, the range

(11:34):
is too low. Of course, if you're actually using it
as a truck, if you're trying to tow something, haul
something loaded up, and carry things around, it kills the
range even further. It makes it border line unusable. If
you're actually trying to utilize it for what it ostensibly
is for, it doesn't work. It's nothing but a status symbol.

(11:58):
People that are buying cyber trucks to use with their
businesses or finding out that well, actually it's more of
a billboard than anything else. Perhaps it's eye catching. Perhaps
if you wrap it in your company logo, people will
look at it and go, huh interesting, But it's not
good for hauling tools around. You're not going to send
this off to home depot for more supplies and bring

(12:21):
it back. Not giving up entirely just yet. This week,
Ford announced plans to build a mid size electric pickup
priced around thirty thousand dollars starting in twenty twenty seven
in Louisville, Kentucky. And of course one of the issues
is that the prices on trucks have gone through the roof.
In general, they've become not just the not just the

(12:44):
cyber truck, but a lot of them have become status symbols.
They have ridiculously bloated the price on these things. You
look at them, and starting out, I think it's like
seventy thousand dollars for some of the the mid range trucks.
I haven't personally ever wanted a truck, but just looking

(13:05):
around you see them just like, this is absolutely nuts.
This is supposed to be so people can get work
done around the farm, get work done around the house,
or perhaps you know small business, and it's utterly bank breaking.
The company's hope is that the relatively lower price point
will help revive lagging plugin truck sales, but many drivers

(13:25):
say there are other drawbacks besides price, And of course,
Eric Peters has pointed out the flaws in electric vehicles
for years. You can go check out his website epautos
dot com. He does great work, not just uncovering cars,
but freedom in general. Jim Weber, who's Columbus, Ohio based

(13:46):
mult company relies on a fleet of about one hundred pickups,
mostly Fords, Get the job Done, says he tried a
demo of a Ford F one fifty Lightning EV pickup
truck six months ago to see if it could handle
like a work truck loaded up for a long day.
The plugin got far less than it's trade at three
hundred and twenty miles on a charge. He says. During
peak season, we're running eight am to eight pm. The
Ohio Mulch company owner says, then you go through the

(14:09):
hills in Kentucky and Cincinnati. There's just no way electric
trucks have the capacity. The people who buy trucks off
and use them to haul things, whether it's a commercial
payload or a boat to the lake, and drivers say
many electric versions just aren't up for the task. Even
owners who don't put them to work love the throaty
growl of a V eight engine. And of course, a

(14:31):
lot of electric car companies have started putting in speakers
that will play engine noises when you rev them, because
they realize that there is something about hearing the engine
roar when you hit the gas. There's something it adds
to the experience.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
But I also feel like having it be piped in
through speakers kind of cheapens the experience. Yeah, knowing that
it's fake kind of ruins.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
It's just, ah, this is some kind of imitation. This
is you knew you wanted it, but instead of actually
getting the thing that would give it to you, you
bought something else and imitated it. It's it's kind of
the reason I feel like, you know, fake designer stuff
is looked down on. It's not the fact that you

(15:20):
know it's a knockoff. It's the fact that you wanted
to show off but didn't quite get the real thing,
you know. Reservation numbers looked red hot. Tesla claimed one
million for its truck and Ford said it received more
than two hundred thousand. Automakers may have mistaken that initial
excitement for real demand and added production too fast. Word

(15:44):
of mouth killed these things. People were real excited, Oh yeah,
they put it in their pre order, and then people
started getting them, and people started realizing, Oh wait, I've
been swindled, I've been had. These things aren't living up
to the promises. I don't think I'm gonna pick mine up.
I think i might cancel my pre order. If they'd
been able to roll these out all at once, deliver

(16:08):
all of the one million at the beginning, they would
have at least been able to get those one million people.
But chances are that we know that's not nearly what happened.
KWD sixty eight. I saw a lady last week in
a ninety nine Accord. It looked excellent. I asked for
them mileage, and so she said fifty five thousand. She

(16:30):
said it was her uncle's. That's a car to have.
I'm not buying new. The ninety nine and ninety eight
Accords and Civics are some of the most reliable cars
that have ever existed. They have been on the road
since then, and some of them are just they're bulletproof, indestructible.
You'll still see them rolling around whether they're in mint

(16:51):
condition or borderline rusted out. They're still out there and
they're still going strong. They're one of those few models
of cars that just keep on kicking no matter what
you do to them. Big brit Is back again. Egines
and cars are very expensive due to over engineering that fails.
You know, they put on so many regulations and restrictions.
They have to put all kinds of things into them,

(17:14):
Brandon Bennett. If they meet the efficiency standards, they will
just shift it to noise level. Your car is too loud.
I'm sorry, fellas, but you're just too darn loud. Big
brit Is back again. I watched the first.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Means like, you know, level that's in the noise in
terms of output.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Perhaps I watched the first AI car race a couple
of years ago. They were going really slow and nearly
all crashed. I'm sure that was at least entertaining. kWt
sixty eight. Does a pickup truck really need massaging, seats,
leather interior, panoramic sunroof, et cetera. I don't think it does.
I think if you're buying a pickup truck. Generally speaking,

(17:55):
it used to be that, As I said, it was
for work, but now they become status symbols like the
SUV was before it.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, it's not just the government regulation, it's also all
the nonsense they add on top of it, turning it
into as there Peter Skull's out a device.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Look, you can cut the kids around in this. You
can do all this kind of things. Don't you want
people to know how wealthy you are. You can buy
this one hundred thousand dollars pickup truck.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
That's why the Slate automotive is interesting. Since they're doing
a super bare bones, twenty thousand dollars pickup truck.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's going back to what pickup trucks actually used to
be about, being affordable work vehicles, things you could actually
buy to utilize. I don't think. I don't think the
average person is going to buy a one hundred thousand
dollars truck and then feel comfortable beating it up around
on the farm.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Though. All the Slate vehicles electric.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
I forget, I don't remember. EB trucks, while sporting lower missions,
are generally cost than gasoline fueled options GM based GM
based model electric Chevy Silverado work truck starts at fifty
five thousand dollars. The base model electric, which probably means

(19:13):
it's a piece of junk and doesn't go very far,
and is rated at two hundred and eighty six miles
of driving on a charge. That's two hundred and eighty
six miles unloaded. That's with nothing in the bed. Once
you start loading that up, as we've talked about, it
is going to drop precipitously. The more expensive evs can

(19:35):
go farther. The cheapest gasoline version starts around thirty seven
thousand dollars and it can drive about four hundred and
fifty miles on a tank. Then there are the politics.
About two thirds of full sized truck buyers lean right politically,
Strategic Vision, says in at Sumber research research shows that
Republicans are less interested in evs than their lefty counterparts.

(19:58):
Once again, people on the right showing more common sense,
except for the fact they did kind of get suckered
by musk for a bit. In Fort Worth, Texas, highly
Buick GMC has the Hummer ev In Sierra Electric pickups
on offer. Whener Randy Highly says he sells just three
or four a month. His dealership often lowers the price

(20:21):
on the Sierra EV, losing a little money to move them.
It's just not cool to have an electric truck in cowtown.
The CIV is one of the finest trucks I ever
sat in. Remember we where we are? Look at what
he says there, though, it's one of the finest trucks
I ever sat in. It's probably got some very nice amenities.
The ac probably blows real cold. Maybe the seats are

(20:43):
extra comfy. This isn't he's not talking about. Yeah, it
haul's real good. It has a towing capacity that's unmatched. Nah,
it's one of the finest trucks I ever sat in.
It cradles me real nice, boy? Is it comfort? It's
not cool to have an electric truck in cowtown. Maybe

(21:04):
it doesn't do the things these people need. Perhaps, being
the owner of a dealership, you're a bit out of
touch with what these people actually want in a vehicle.
Buying an EV is a political statement, highly says it
just is. Of course, this is because the government has
kind of politicized this. They're the ones that have been

(21:27):
putting these mandates out. They are the ones that have
been demanding these standards, making it more and more difficult
with these other companies to produce cars. It's not the
customers that politicized it. kW sixty eight. A neighbor bought
an electric Chevy Blazer. Should be fun pulling him out
of the ditches this winter if he makes it that far.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
It's another thing about trucks is if you're getting him
as a work vehicle, you'll need it to run long
hours in the winter as well, which you know, even
cold weaver will kill these things better.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, he's gonna have to have that on a trickle charger.
Most likely he's going to be in for a bad
time if he doesn't drive it for a while. There's
just they logistically do not make sense for certain portions
of the population at all. I think they're probably a
bad deal for anyone, but for certain people, electric vehicles

(22:24):
are just off the table. Electric trucks, as we've seen,
just they do not work on a conceptual level with
the technology we have available today. They just don't provide
a good value for money. If you have to do
a lot of driving. If you're someone who works in
construction and is hauling things back and forth a lot
it's just not feasible. There's a level of anxiety here

(22:48):
because we've been down for two and a half years,
said David Michael's, chairman of the GM unit of United
Auto Workers Local fifty nine to sixty in Orion. I
believe in the EV but we want to be versatile.
A lot of our members transferred to Factory zero and
they want to come home. Well, as my dad said,
those who live by government Fiat demands die by government

(23:10):
Fiat demands and we're seeing that here. Well, that's that's
our segment on evs for today. They're still not there yet.
They're overpriced, they under deliver, and they don't have a
nice engine sound. Also, of course your Tesla autopilot may
try to kill you. So not quite a value proposition

(23:35):
that I would endorse, But hey, who am I Now?
We're going to look at what's going on in the
UK and with Cidi ki Kan cidiq CON's road charges
will see thousands pay four and ten pounds and that's
about five six hundred and fifty dollars extra. As motorists
brace for tougher rules, city complaining to scrap electric car

(24:01):
exemptions and raise the congestion charge to eighteen pounds. We'll
see someone drivers paying up to that ten pounds fifty six,
one hundred and fifty dollars more each year. Of course,
he's just looking to get people out of the cars.
He doesn't want cars at all. This is part of

(24:21):
the fifteen minute city project. Well, if we just raise
the cost on cars through the roof, if we make
it so driving is so inordinately expensive, eventually most of
the people will be forced to give it up.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
And here we have the problem with the whole ol.
The Japanese engineers will just come up with super efficient
engines to meet.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Their Well, what if we just tax you for driving?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
I mean they're adding in the taxes on evs, which
you know they pressured people to get EV's with these taxes.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
And this, of course, being Sadik Khan, the trader to
the UK, he should not hold office, but sadly he does.
Big brit Is back again. US military is using Tesla
trucks to test battlefield weapons. Musk loves that. Yeah, I'm

(25:13):
sure it's going to be great when you're rolling through
the battlefield and have to stop and charge for an
extended period of time. I'm sure that the applications for
it are numerous. You're going to be in the lush
jungles and have to sit there and find your nearest
charging port. That'll be great KWD sixty eight. If the
Dodge charger will put the Jetson's car sound on the speaker,

(25:35):
I'll consider it. That's the little right, if memory serves
I haven't seen the Jetsons in so many years that however,
that would be pretty good if these guys had a
sense of humor about it, but sadly they don't. The
financial windfall will primarily come from removing the current exemption

(25:56):
for electric vehicles and raising the daily charge by twenty
percent percent. Of course, this was never about zero missions.
It's about zero private cars. As I said, this is
about making sure that no one can afford to own
a car and no one can afford to drive anywhere.
These changes mark a significant policy shift that will particularly

(26:19):
affect thousands of motorists who have invested in electric vehicles
in the Capitol to help support the government's ambitious zero
emission vehicle mandate. Just because you're a good little quizzling
someone that goes along with it and does whatever you're
told doesn't mean they're not going to screw you over to.
These people hate everyone. They may even hate the people

(26:41):
that go along with them more than anyone else. They
may despise them more simply because they know what they're doing.
They know what they're doing is to hurt people, and
they may instinctively have some kind of revulsion to people
that roll over and die about it. Gardner Goldsmith says,
who could I've imagined that an EV line wouldn't sell.

(27:02):
I'm shocked, pun intended. First, the sales were electrifying, the
numbers were charged, they were all getting juiced. But sadly
it petered out and now they're all shocked. Just like
guard is, Big brit is back again. These new expensive
evs are losing fifty percent of the original value in
just a year. Yeah, they don't hold value at all,

(27:24):
just like they don't hold a charge. Of course, these
suckers are now going to be paying more in the UK.
But I did what you said, I got the EV.
I'm following the manda. I'm trying to save the climate.
Well that's too bad, Sorry, gonna have to tax you
more anyway. The exemption for battery powered and hydrogen fuel

(27:46):
sell vehicles has been in place since October twenty twenty one,
when it replaced a broader discount that previously included hybrid vehicles.
Of course, this is the sort of boiling the frogs
deal that they did so their own. Going to tax
the internal combustion engines and hybrids, they'll get a well,
hybrids get a discount, going to kill the hybrid discount,

(28:09):
of course, raise the internal combustion engine fees. No fee
for the evs at that point, then, of course they
basically get rid of hybrids. Hybrids have kind of disappeared.
That's why Toyota is still working on them, trying to
bring them back. They'll get rid of the internal combustion
engines as much as they can, and then they're going

(28:29):
to charge the EV's like we're seeing in London, and
then eventually just prohibit all cars. That's how they do it.
Big brit Is back again, says. They add lane assist,
auto break and swerve and all their kinds of electronic
assists that added massively to the price and even more

(28:52):
the price even more on basic cars. Yeah, they load
them up with these nonsense electronics systems that are mostly
just a nuisance. They just annoy you. Hey, you're getting
a little bit close to the shoulder of the road.
How would you like it if I beeped at you
and made an obnoxious dinging sound? How would you like
it if I kind of jiggled the steering wheel at you?

(29:13):
I wouldn't please stop doing that? Because on Avante seventeen
seventy six, the Chevy Vault is a great solution plug
in and gas. Tota currently makes the Prius Prime. Like
the Chevy Vault, it is a plug in gas powered
hybrid system. The Preus Prime can go forty four miles
on battery power and then use gas for the hybrid system.
Thus range is no problem. Toyota the Prius It's been

(29:38):
ugliest sin its entire life, but it has actually been
a fairly decent car, sadly, sadly enough, despite being one
of the ugliest vehicles ever made.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Well, this system of having a battery and a generator
just makes the most sense. It's a small battery, so
it's not a huge percentage of the cars vice, or
at least it shouldn't be. It still winds up being
a pretty big percentage, and you've got unlimited range. You
can fill it up and the amount of time it
takes to develop a normal cards and you've got you know,

(30:15):
forty five fifty miles of range that is going to
cover most of your day to day driving.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, that was our ev segment. That was what's going
on in the land of make believe and transition. Now
this article is from zero heads, zero hedge, and of
course I mean transition to a new topic. Birth rate
among refugee women in Austria nearly triple that of native

(30:44):
born Austrians. This is the demographic great replacement they're trying
if they can't since they're not allowed to commit full
on genocides in most Western nations anymore. People don't like it.
They get upset about it. They figure, well, what if
we can get you to stop having kids and then
import a different population that has children, Well, that'll eventually

(31:10):
solve the problem. New figures show that women from Syria,
Afghanistan and Iraq living in Austria have an average birth
rate almost three times higher than that of Austrian born women.
Report finds that Austrian born women have an average of
one point two to two children among women not born
in Australia. In Austria, the figure rises to one point
five seven, and of course one point five seven is

(31:33):
still dying out. One point two two dying out a
little bit faster. Those born in the former Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia
average one point nine four children, while Turkish born women
have one point eight children. The highest rates are found
among Syrian, Afghan and Iraqi women, who average three point
three children each. You have to have about two point

(31:56):
one to reach replacement right at sea pac Hungary. In May,
the leader of the Austrian Freedom Party, Herbert Kikel, claimed
that mass immigration to Europe is an agenda that is
organized as a consciously controlled ethnic and cultural transformation, and
it is as I've continually said, population groups are not interchangeable.

(32:18):
If you were to pick up the entire population of
Japan and switch it with I don't know, let's say
the Philippines, they might be roughly the same size and
population density, they would immediately change. They wouldn't. The people
from the Philippines wouldn't imediately become Japanese simply by living
on that soil.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
So to clarify, I think it's two point five for
a couple, and they're talking about per woman they're getting
one point eight, So you know, it would be a
two point six on average per couple, I assume, so
they would be just at the are just above the
replacement line.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I don't believe, so, I don't think that's how they're
doing the mass since ad But yeah, population groups are
not interchangeable. You cannot import an endless number of people
that don't share your values and keep your country. It

(33:23):
simply becomes wherever they came from. What is happening in
Europe is no coincidence. It is the result of an agenda,
a consciously controlled ethnic and cultural transformation. Migration is not
being stopped, it is being organized, promoted, and glorified. And
we see that continually. We continually are beat over the

(33:44):
head with this idea that we have to accept these people,
that they have some kind of right to live here,
That if we don't let them in, we're evil and wicked,
that if we care about keeping our country in the
values that it was founded upon, we're bad. A new
generation with a growing Muslim population is having a profound
effect in Austria, particularly in education. In October twenty twenty four,

(34:08):
federal data revealed that more than three quarters of students
in Vienna middle schools do not speak German at home,
putting pressure on an education system designed for single language learning.
It makes everything more difficult. We see that here in
the United States they have to put up road signs
in different languages. You see it. We talked about the

(34:30):
Haitian immigrants causing all kinds of damage up where they're
living and having had to hire someone that spoke Haitian
to come in and actually give them lessons because they
didn't bother to learn English. Because they're not bothering to
learn English. English, Oh, we'll just put up road signs
in Haitian. Sure survey at the same time with the

(34:51):
local teachers' union at some of vienna as one hundred
compulsory schools revealed that not only systematic issues like language barriers,
but also extreme incidents including assaults on teachers, situations where
patients of school parents of school children's asked a teacher
to wear a burka, and even the presence of mock executions.
That wonderful Muslim influence, not wonderful Islamic culture that we're

(35:18):
so desperate to import here. And of course the population
of Muslims is growing by leaps and bounds down in Texas.
It's not just happening in Minnesota anymore. We're getting enclaves
in Texas as well. It has led to teachers leaving
their profession twenty a day on average in twenty twenty four,
and other educators speaking out on the rapid Islamization of

(35:39):
the Austrian capital. Islam is changing our society in ways
we do not want, said long time principle of a
Vienna Middle school, Christian Klar. A December twenty twenty four
report from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution
also unveiled disturbing trends in the Islamist radicalization of young
girls in Upper Austria. To mitigate the strain that mass

(36:01):
immigration is having on schools, Education Minister Christoph Werderker announced
in March orientation classes designed to prepare migrant children for
the Austrian school environment. I'm sure that'll have the desired effect. Yeah,
if we just give them a few orientation classes, I'm
sure they'll immediately become Germans, They'll become Austrians. That's what

(36:25):
we need to do. That was simply the problem. They
weren't given orientation classes. It's not that they're from a
different people group with different values. I have different different
cultural mindsets. No, no, no, it's simply that they weren't
orientated properly. You noted many of these students not only

(36:49):
do not speak any German, but are also unfamiliar with
basic literacy and numeracy. Some have never held a pen
or followed structured school rules. Many failed to show respect
for female teachers due to culture differences. Of course, we
can't have enough of them. We need more. We can't
have enough low skilled, low IQ workers to fill the factories.

(37:14):
Don't frag me, Bro says the Chevy volt has as
much computer coding as an airliner, a blue screen of
death waiting to happen. Oh no, my computer got my
car got a virus. AfD is now Germany's most popular
parties as a pole, And the real question is is

(37:34):
this really a surprise to anyone after reading what we
just did? How bad immigration is getting on that side
of the world. Alternative for Germany has taken the lead
in national polling as support for Chancellor Mertzy's ruling coalition
hits a record low. But the dying establishment is still

(37:54):
thinking about maybe making AfD illegal. Maybe there's a way
we can get around this. The coalitioneering gets one hundred
day mark this Wednesday. Approval for Mertz has sunk to
twenty nine percent, the lowest census election in May, while
discontent has climbed to sixty seven percent. The Germans aren't happy.
To be fair, Germans usually don't seem to be happy.

(38:18):
Since taking off, as Mertz has adopted a hardline stance
towards Russia, recently pledging an additional and additional five billion
euros the five point six billion dollars in military aid
to Ukraine. And of course all these parties offer. All
people like Mertz offer is endless war, endless debt, and

(38:40):
demographic and cultural suicide. That's all. It's no wonder that
people are looking for any sort of way out of that,
any other alternative. They can't. They realize that they can't
sustain this, that this isn't something they can work with,
need to get out. We're going to take a quick

(39:04):
break before we do. I want to thank the people
that have donated on ZELL. I want to make sure
that we thank you all. We really do appreciate it.
It means so much to us and it's the only
reason we're able to continue the show, and the people
are Maraldo P, Mary Ellen Moore, Sean S, Ralph M,

(39:29):
Susan L, Alexander W, Kevin H, Linda M, Susan L,
J H, Benjamin R. Gregory I, Michael P, Wayne H,

(40:18):
Gretchen C, Michael L, William W, Mary Ellen Moore, Lyndon H,
Maurice W, Adam D, William R, Sean S. And Terry M.
We really do appreciate all that. We cannot thank you enough.

(40:40):
It is because of you, as I said, they were
able to continue this broadcast. It is truly a blessing,
and it is amazing to see the support. We cannot
I don't have the proper words, and all I can
say is we cannot thank you enough. What else can
I say? You're all an incredible blessing. We really do
appreciate it, don't frag me. Bro says it is already

(41:04):
a finable offense in most of Cammifornia to work on
your car and your own driveway. Cities and hoas Hoa's
are continually filled up with the worst type of human
being imaginable, the powerless, busybody that invents a power structure
for themselves. Well, I think perhaps the grass needs to
be one quarter inch shorter or longer. And if you

(41:26):
don't follow that, then I'm going to find you Guard Goldsmith.
They disrupt the Middle East, overthrow Libya, Syria, bomb Kosovo,
and dry migrants where they want them. No wonder local
people are frustrated. It's the plan, it always. It's bad
for everyone. It's bad for everyone. They destroy these people's

(41:47):
countries and then they emigrate to other countries where they
cause massive problems. That's a thing. I think the Muslims,
so long as they're not interfering with other people, should
be entitled to their own culture, their own countries where
they are allowed to practice their own beliefs, where they
are allowed to basically do as they please, if they're

(42:09):
not interfering with others. KWD sixty eight lots of videos
of women being harassed by muslimen in Europe that could
never happen here. I've seen so many of those. There's
a there's an account that basically every single day tweets
some new horrific story about rape in the UK from

(42:30):
migrant men, and it's a nearly daily occurrence there. It
probably is a daily occurrence at this point. If you
like your culture, you can keep it. No wait, if
you like your culture want to keep it, you are racist,
says KWD sixty eight. That's right, Sorry, you don't get
to keep that. White people don't have any culture, didn't
you know. That's one of the things that always gets

(42:51):
me is generally hateful and jealous people from the races
will say, well, white people don't even have any culture.
It's like, no white people have exported their culture to
the entire world. Does a fish know? Its wet scenario?
Just about everything everywhere is in some way part of

(43:13):
white culture, and as such, you fail to recognize it.
It's so ubiquitous it's become invisible, whether it's the architecture
that is spanning the globe, or the cars you're driving,
the planes you fly in, the suit you wear, the
shoes you wear. It's white culture, it's part of white history,

(43:34):
and so as such, since it's everywhere, it's nowhere, it
has become invisible to the naked eye. Don't frag me.
Bro crime creates fear for unarmed people. That fear is
used for control and oppression. Europe has been practicing the
cycle for a millennia. At least. They're very good at this.
They've had a long time to practice. They know how
to generate fear, they know how to manipulate people. It's

(43:56):
one of the things they're best at.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
And that's another part of the Second Amendment. But you
don't really mentioned very often. I think it does have
a subtle effect on people's mentality of, you know, wanting freedom. People.
Tyrants always use fear as a weapon to push tyranny,
and I think the Second Amendment kind of slows that

(44:20):
a bit.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah, there's also another thing to realize is that they
do also, they don't just they don't always just gin
up the entire thing. Sometimes there is stuff to be
afraid of, not that you should turn to the government
for help, not that you should give up your freedoms.
But Muslims, once they reach a certain population density do
become extremely problematic. That is something you need to worry

(44:44):
about and be concerned about. Not as I said, in
the sense of oh man, daddy, government, please save me.
But it is a legitimate problem they're creating. It's something
that you will have to worry about and deal with.
If you have daughters, if there's a large Muslim population nearby,
you should be concerned and take extra precautions. Doug seven,

(45:06):
I'm genuinely curious why people from Arab countries have so
many children. Is it due to high infant mortality rates?
That is beyond my ability to fathom. There may be
cultural things at play. It may just be a sense
of I don't know, conquest through childbirth. There may be

(45:26):
some thought to that, but I could not tell you.
It may be as simple as they don't have as
much going on and as such end up creating more
children through boredom. But who knows. All kinds of different
answers are possible. I am not a cultural expert. A
Syrian girl, I think a country obviously needs one language

(45:48):
to mind it together. Well, that sounds incredibly racist, Assyrian girl.
That sounds crazy to me. Now I think you're right.
I think that's the minimum. I think if you don't
speak English, then you probably aren't going to make a
very good citizen.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Oh that's why the left wants, you know, to accommodate
their own ghetto of people that are isolated from English
speaking information.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
It makes them continually dependent on people that speak whatever
language they do. If you come in and say, oh,
well you know, I speak your language, I can do
work for you. You just vote for me or you
vote this way, and we'll make sure you get your
little carve outs. We'll support you and do whatever you need.
Gives you a voting block some people that are going

(46:38):
to support you almost no matter what. We're going to
take a quick break, folks, so stay with us. We
will be right back.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Joy listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
We remember the battle, we remember the places, we remember
the Southern soldiers. We are the sons of Confederate veterans,
and we invite you to join us in preserving our
past and remembering our history and heritage of honor. To

(48:44):
find out more, call one eight hundred and my South
or visit us on the web.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Welcome back, folks. Every time I see the Shannon Doah
break that my dad did think about what an evil
man Sherman was, what a horrific human being psychotic? He
of course said, when he was finished with the Shenandoah Valley,
a crow would have to pack its own lunch to
fly across it. Burned down, destroyed one of the most

(49:14):
beautiful areas of the South, simply because he was wicked.
It was an effective tactic. I suppose it helped break
the spirit, but it was an evil thing to do. Well,
We're going to move on to own nothing and be happy.
It's the twenty thirty agenda. Probably maybe not quite twenty thirty.

(49:40):
They might have to push it out a little bit,
but that's their ideal. Do you need to own a house?
Many older Americans decide they don't. Rising property tax, insurance,
and home repair costs are promoting some people fifty five
and older to consider renting. That's right, you don't want
your own home. It comes with so many different liabilities.

(50:01):
You know, you've got to pay for all the repairs.
They're costly.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
This headline just seems so disingenuous. They've decided that they
don't once they looked at the price.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Tag, once the government made it unaffordable and the insurance
companies have raised the prices through the roof, and of
course the cost of home repair has gone up because
of inflation. Well, once they've been priced out of it,
they looked at it and said, I don't think I
can afford this. Well, gee, isn't that something almost like

(50:34):
it's part of a plan. Now, this next one is
from Bloomberg. Americans are getting priced out of home ownership
at record rates. You can probably guess where.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
This is just a more honest way of competing. The
last headline.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Yeah, For six glorious years, Paul Woods and Norris Stout
owned a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Alta Dina.
They grew lemons and oranges and hosted rollicking parties around
a backyard pool facing the purple San Gabriel Mountains. After
years of renting, the couple had realized their dream of
home ownership, and they thought, we're on the track for
the long term financial security. You can probably guess where

(51:11):
this is going up in flames. After the house was
destroyed in LA's catastrophic January wild wildfire wild fires, Woods
and Stouts sold their burned out lot for five hundred
and forty four thousand dollars, twenty percent less than they
paid for the house in twenty eighteen, in about half
of the home's peak value right before the fire. They

(51:31):
ruled out rebuilding, which would cost too much and take
too long in a place that won't ever be the same.
So they're back to renting for now in a one
bedroom apartment in Orange County, forty miles from Altadena. These days, though,
it doesn't take a fire, or even living in a
famously in demand coastal city for the math of home
ownership not to add up. Of course, the government is

(51:54):
continually changing the calculus on They're continually changing how much
it costs through inflation. As I said, it's continually going
up in every single year. It seems like the vote
comes around, Hey, I think, would you like to vote
to raise your property taxes every single year. It feels

(52:15):
like they want to do that. Combine that with mounting
losses from climate change fuel disasters. Oh no, not the
climate change disasters. It couldn't be the fact that they're
spraying chemicals that dry out the wood.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
They climate change. I remember climate change dried out all
the water in the hydrants so that there was no
water and climate change prevented the trucks from being driven
in there because they didn't meet emission standards. While you know,
everything's burning down and smoke is filling the air.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Exactly, it's climate change. It's not government policies that are
causing this. It's climate change. It's no surprise that home
purchasing costs of sword with the mortgage rates hovering near
two decade highs and property prices breaking records.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
From Daddy says. The problem in that story is not
home ownership, but a government that doesn't do its job
to prevent and stop fires. Governments are literally burning down
home ownership with regulation, inflation, and taxes.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
It gets worse and worse each year. I mentioned this before,
but my wife grew up most of her life around
the Austin, Texas area, and the pricing of housing there
has gone insane. It's gone through the roof, and it
makes her sad that she'll never be able to own
a home in the area she grew up in. That

(53:45):
that's become something that is a pipe dream. The affordable
American home is disappearing. Typical monthly cost of buying versus
renting in forty four of the largest US metro areas
with available data monthly cost and some of it is visible,
some of it is not on here, but they give

(54:07):
you a breakdown in the article. We can pull that
up and see it there. You can see the monthly
costs by rent the entire chart there if you want
to go and look at that yourself. But it has
become less and less feasible. It's gotten less and less

(54:28):
affordable to buy m sellers not only renting, but most
need to get a roommate. Now, it's crazy. Yeah, a
lot of people in my generation simply they have to
have roommates if they want to afford anything. And it's

(54:48):
even worse for the coming generation. Zoomers are going to
have it worse. And Jen Alpha, who knows what they're
going to be dealing with. Brandon Bennett cheaper to live
on a cruise ship than real estate these days. I've
actually heard some people do that, that they live permanently
on cruise ships. Don't frag me, bro, you will own
nothing and be happy. Translation, we will kidnap your children,

(55:10):
steal all your property and put and the chip in
your brain will make you feel like you are happy.
I'll just activate those neurons they'll send the signal and
all of a sudden, it won't be so bad that
you're living in a tin shack with fifteen other people.
The average insurance bill has jumped seventy four percent. This

(55:34):
home price is sore, So do assessments, and of course,
taxes go through the roof. Florida, for example, tax bills
rose almost fifty percent from twenty nineteen through twenty twenty four.
According to coteal to Totality Totality, property taxes jump thirty
three percent in Dallas in thirty two percent in Clark County, Nevada.

(55:58):
As a certified down hater, I can tell you that
there is nothing in Dallas that's worth paying a thirty
three percent jump for. There is nothing there that justifies
that kind of price hike. Home ownership has long been
a prime symbol of having made it an American society.
The founding father saw it as a prerequisite for the

(56:18):
right to vote. After World War Two, tax benefits and
appreciating values turned homes into a kind of passive savings
account that owners could pass on to descendants. Of course,
we didn't really see that happen too frequently. A lot
of people simply sold their home and took that value

(56:38):
and then spent it away. It has been most people
don't pass on much to their children. At this point.
The government has made it exceedingly difficult. They will tax
into the ground what you do try to leave. And
then the American mindset has become or more selfish. We

(57:01):
see a lot of people have no interest in giving
anything to their children. I have no interest in passing
along any wealth. Hey, I made this money. It's my money,
and as such, I'm entitled to spend it however you want.
And that's true, you are, but it is a selfish mindset.
I'm gonna buy myself a jet ski. I think I'm
gonna buy myself a boat. Yeah, what if I want

(57:23):
a new car every two to five years? Who cares?
I made it, my kids can make it. And now again,
that's your right. However, it is still a selfish, selfish
mentality to have. Citizen of AMERICAKA says no. The trend
is for the elderly to purchase RVs, and everybody says, oh,

(57:44):
look how adventurous the old people are. No, they just
can't afford a home any longer. I've seen that very
thing happen if I Tyrants seventeen seventy six, if you
have to pay real estate tax, you never own it.
You're only paying rent to the king.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
I've told this story before, but I was about seven
years old and I wandered into my dad's office as
he was doing taxes, and I asked him, like, hey,
what are you doing? And he explains taxes and I said, oh, well,
what's that And he says, well, I'm doing property taxes,
and that means that I have to pay the government
for the house. I said, but I thought you paid

(58:22):
for the house already. I thought, you know, you paid
for the land and you paid to have the house built.
And he said, yeah, but I have to pay the
government each year to keep the house. And at about
seven years old, that caused an existential crisis when I
realized that you couldn't actually own anything, that if you
didn't continually pay up, the government was going to come
and take it. Had to go sit down on the

(58:43):
couch and try to think if there was a way
around this. I didn't come to any conclusion tof I
Tyrants seventeen seventy six. If you have to read that,
when a Syrian girl, why would older Americans want to
rent unbelievably high prices, and renters can raise the ante
on you at will.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
They don't want to, they're kind of forced into it.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah, it simply what they can afford Povante, seventeen seventy six.
It's neo feudalism. Will all be such good serfs? The
Syrian girl. My friends, my friend's friends are traveling all
over the world to avoid leaving money to their adult kids.
They even went to an article Antarctica. Tell me that's

(59:23):
a place you just have to see. Again, it's their money,
they can do with it as they please. But I
see that as an incredibly selfish mentality. Why would you
not want to leave something for your children? If I'm
able to, I would love to be able to leave
something for our son.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
We go.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
The we may not be able to based on how
things are going. But previous generations they Again I'm not
saying they didn't work hard, not saying they didn't earn
their money. But the economy in the world was a
different place. It was easier to make the money than
it is now. The jobs you could work and actually
survive were more abundant, more numerous. You could make it

(01:00:05):
on all kinds of different salaries, and you're able to
put money away, which has become much much more difficult now.
And instead of passing along that wealth that they had accumulated,
they decided to blow through it. By two thousand and eight,
millions of families found themselves unable to pay or refinance,
triggering the biggest wave of foreclosure since the Great Depression.

(01:00:29):
Of course, we're probably coming up about time for another one.
It's we're on shaky ground here in the financial sector,
and it seems to be echoing what happened in two
thousand and eight. What does it mean that the American

(01:00:50):
dream is increasingly unavailable? For one thing, there are fewer
chances for families to step onto the wealth ladder. The
median net worth of a homeowner in the US is
forty three times that of a renter, three times, preventing
would be buyers from saving for a house that would
then let them build equity. It's again a ret it's

(01:01:10):
a trap. Rent gets higher, you can't save money, but
you don't have the capital to actually buy a home
and start saving. It becomes impossible. You get stuck. Younger generations,
especially those who grew up in renter households face some
of the steepest barriers to entry. In twenty twenty four,

(01:01:32):
the median age of first time buyers climbed to thirty
eight from twenty eight nineteen ninety one. Also last year,
the shriff first time buyers in the housing market crashed
to twenty four percent from thirty two percent in twenty
twenty three, the lowest records dating to nineteen eighty one.
According to the National Association of Realtors, about a quarter
of first time buyers rely on down payment assistance from

(01:01:54):
family or friends. These gifts or loans tend to be
less available for people whose parents didn't own. Of course,
it's a cycle ends up trapping not just one generation,
but multiple generations. Your parents aren't able to get ahead,
and so you're not able to get ahead, and then
you're not able to pass anything along to your children,

(01:02:17):
and so it goes. Can government action make a difference, Well,
they certainly seem to be capable of making things worse.
They're continually making a difference, just in all the wrong ways,
raising taxes, pricing you out, putting more restrictions on what

(01:02:38):
you can manufacture, and putting nonsense regulations on what your
appliances have to do. Sorry, the price of a fridge
has gone through the roof because we decided that it
has to meet these sorts of ridiculous standards. Sorry, washing
machines going up because we put a new regulation in.

(01:02:59):
Eighty three percent of Generation Z renters say they'd rather
invest in experiences such as travel and career growth and
save for a home. This is just again, they don't
really see a future, so they're just trying to live
for the moment. They don't think that they'll ever really
be able to make it or get ahead, and as such, like,

(01:03:20):
well it doesn't really matter. Inflation is going to take
whatever I can save. The country is a mess, so
why on earth would I bother saving it. Might as
well spend what I have now and actually get something
out of it, then put in the bank, potentially have
it evaporate out from underneath me. And of course the

(01:03:41):
propaganda for the climate change climate hysteria has also made
a lot of them extremely fearful. So many of them
say things like, oh, I would never have kids. I
would never have children because well, you know, the world's
going to end. They're ridiculous. Epstein Island they're evicting the

(01:04:03):
homeless from DC. But there's a big, beautiful ballroom coming
to the East wing. That's right, it's going to be
the biggest ballroom, the best. Everyone says it. I'm the
best with ballrooms. I'm the best president to have ever
been president. Humanoid robot learns how to fold laundry. This
is from zero Hedge. So apparently you're not gonna have

(01:04:26):
any jobs, not even your chores. The robots will be
doing those for you. Of course, that's assuming you have
enough money to afford clothes. Anyway, let's take a look
at this little robot, this handy little guy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
Okay, figure, can you fold these toilets for me?

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
Cool thing, I'll get right on that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Oh yeah, having this creepy thing in your house is
way better than having to fold some laundry.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Just think, promire, what ten, fifteen, twenty thousand, you could
have something that can very slowly puld launch be for you.
So this is a long video, let's see, it's like
three minutes long. And just he goes in and holds
each and every one of those towels, and then the
guy grabs it and gives him more towels, and he

(01:05:30):
holds those. It'll jump to the end because it gets
kind of funny with I. It's edited.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Oh, it's so gentle and delicate.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
They're really trying to make folding a towel look I impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Isn't that wonderful? You can have your own private robot
folds your towels for you. Isn't that great? Surely that's
where the price of admission. You won't have to fold
laundry anymore, it says, today we unveiled the first humanoid
robot that can fold laundry autonomously. Figure Ai wrote on
X earlier today, this is again.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
I mean, I get that it's a sign of where
it's going, but it's kind of funny to see them
this impressed with folding some towels into a basket.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Look what it can do Soon I won't have to
pay my maid. I'm assuming that's what these people are thinking.
It's like, Ah, finally, just get a robot to do it.
The same general purpose archit Why is this important?

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
As figure Ai explains, the same general purpose architecture and
the same physical platform can seamlessly transition from industrial logistics
to household chores as we scale real world data collection.
We expect Helix's dexterity, speed, and generalization to keep improving
across an even broader range of tasks. That's right, These

(01:07:01):
robots are being trained to enter the home and complete
basic tasks like folding laundry, putting groceries away, and even cooking.
I'm gonna make everyone completely and totally helpless. Oh well,
the robot will do it for me. The AI chat
bot will think for me. I don't have to worry
about anything. Why would I ever put in any effort

(01:07:22):
to things when I can just have the robots do
it for me. You know, chat GPT explain this to me. Hey, robot,
cook me a meal. They're infantilizing everyone. In the article
AE have more pictures. The robots are still at a

(01:07:43):
point where they look kind of goofy. They look rather
strange and silly. I'm assuming that down the line they'll
get it worked out and they'll make them both more
human and more intimidating. They've got They've got all the
time in the world. Now, this is from World Police.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Still have the video in the deck about Disney working
on making their ais seem more cute and personable by
making them mimic the way ducks wabble.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Disney. Of course we're gonna put robots throughout the park,
the animatronics. It'll be so much fun. Your kids are
gonna love it. As article is from World Policing Robots
make the rounds is a wave of robotic law enforcement
in our future? Well probably you know we're gonna get

(01:08:40):
the RoboCop eventually, dead or alive. Punk you're coming with me,
except it'll be ED two nine's all over the place.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
It just looks more like the two nine.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
They're gonna just drop the weapon and just waste somebody.
But at this point, I saw a story where when
they put the cop robot out, they actually had to
put two regular police guards with it because it's so
ineffective and useless that if they leave it on its own,

(01:09:11):
it'll just get messed with. So at this point, right now,
they are not doing anything. Of note, you.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
Don't typically have to worry about normal cops getting vandalized exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
Ah man, they stole my leases. Last fall. I convicted
drug dealer who broke his parol in Lubbock, Texas, attempted
to flee police by barricading himself in a day's in
motel room. Once you're barricading yourself in, you have to
accept it's a matter of time. It's not going to
end well for you. They're going to come through that

(01:09:46):
door and you're going out one way or another, either
in handcuffs or a body bag, resulting in a swat
team standoff in an exchange of gunfire. Finally, local authority
sent a wheeled, one armed robot to the man's room.
The robot shot tear gas through the window, prompting the
suspect to jump out. Remote operators then rolled the robot
on top of him, pinning him to the ground until

(01:10:07):
the officers could arrest him. What an ignominius end, truly,
you get tear gassed and then sat on by a robot.
This guy, we're seeing the future here. This guy probably
deserves it. This guy sounds like a bad dude. However,
chances are they're going to use this for all kinds
of other purposes. It's going to be us eventually that

(01:10:30):
are getting tear gassed and sat on by our robot overlords.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
I actually seen this video. Should have put it in
the deck. I would have known you were covering it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
It's for sure a tool in the toolbox that I
think every swat team and bomb squad should have. He
told me, we don't have to go put a human
in harm's way. See, the real thing will be when
they can you know, they got these bipedal robots and
they code them with some wrestling moves. Then they can
give you like a first person view as the robots.
Two plex is the criminal. They can put those online.

(01:11:02):
That'll be something to watch. Maybe they can install it
with like Hulk Hogan's personality or something like that, or
maybe Macho man Randy Savage. Just the robot outside your
door taunting you. I'm gonna snap into you like a
slim gym. But some experts question these tools usefulness and
worry about privacy, costs and potential abuse of force. Designed

(01:11:25):
for the most for the more mundane task of Rue
Dene patrolling, Well, yeah, I think you should be concerned
about abuse of force. Lance actually has the video, so
let's take a look at that. We'll watch the robot
tear gas this guy and then roll up on top
of him. You can see it right here. It very

(01:11:48):
slowly rolls on up. The guy throws a sheet over it.
I suppose get attempt. Oh no, So I saw.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
Another version of this where wait put the robotok music
in background and elevated it to a whole under level
the slow author movements of this and there you can
see there you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Can see at the end the little robot rolls right
on over top of the guy. I imagine if you
could speak robot, it was saying very derogatory things. It
was probably making fun of him. Take this, meat bags.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
I can't breathe.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
I never have to breathe, meat bag. William Santana Lee,
the CEO of policing robotics company Night's Scope, said robots
fill a nationwide security need. Thee argues that argues there
are not enough officers to monitor the US effect. According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were fewer than
eight hundred thousand police officers and detectives in the country

(01:13:05):
in twenty twenty three, but one for every four hundred Americans. Well,
oh that's not enough.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
You need you, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
I was just thinking, how come we all don't get
our own personal case officer. We gotta up those numbers.
We each deserve our own personal nanny, busybody, and I
cannot wait to have my own assigned to watch and
harass me at all times. I see in chat, Solid Center,
says Travis, sounds like a buggy whitmaker deriding the first cars.

(01:13:37):
I know I'm being a little bit lighthearted about this.
I know I'm making fun of them. It's not because
it's not serious. It's just it's it's the only way
I know how to deal with this sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
These it's too serious. It's gonna be replacing cops with mindless,
uncaring robots that will enforce the edicts of these bureaucrats.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
They are going to rapidly reach a point where they
are able to use these things to trample over your rights,
where they will be literally using them to slam you around.
Robots are going to be the future of policing and
probably military to a large extent, and they will be
utilized for excessive force as they're worried about. It's just

(01:14:22):
you gotta laugh while you can. If you don't take
your time to laugh at it now before it gets
really scary and bad, it'll be too late. Laugh while
you can, is my personal motto on this sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
They're going to roll right over your rights like that
robot did the drug dealer in Loving, Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
And we can see now that they are already at
a point where they are able to be utilized to
subdue people. They rolled that thing up and where the
cops would have been in series danger, the robot rolls up.
They he tries to throw a sheet over it, but
it doesn't care, fires the tear gas in. The guy
has to come out, roll around on the ground, and

(01:15:04):
the robot simply rolls over top of him. These things
are going to reach a point where they're largely autonomous,
and that's when things are going to get really scary.
They're going to be given some kind of authority on
their own to assess whether you're a threat, whether you
can know how much force it's allowed to use, and

(01:15:24):
it's not going to make the right call. All the time.
We've seen the weapon drop the weapon, We've seen how
buggy the ais already are. We've seen how prone to
hallucination they are. Who knows, maybe the cop robot is
going to hallucinate a gun in your hand and blow
you away, or who knows, snap your arm. But yes,

(01:15:49):
I know I'm taking this lightly right now, I know
I'm making fun of it, but it's not because I
don't see this as a looming problem and something that
is rapidly going to become a huge problem. It's just
again I say, laugh while you can. If you can
find humor in something, I say do tun of Lord
Win threey three sevens. If you have kids, you could

(01:16:10):
always make them fold the laundry. Exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
That's Nature's robots.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Children are, as Land said, Nature's robots. You have to
give them commands. You've got to give them stuff to
do they need. You've got to give them a sufficient
amount of training data before you release them into the
world KWD sixty eight. Once these things do laundry, it's over.
Laundry is the real moonshot. Exactly. Once it can fold

(01:16:37):
your clothes, next stop is world conquest, because then they
can wear suits. Soon the robot first it folds your clothes,
then it steals them. Next thing you know, it's out
in the streets in your suit getting votes for robot rights.
Mom is c Nineteen ninety six. Oh, for Pete's sake,

(01:16:57):
just give me the stupid towel. Exactly. I would get
very frustrated seeing the speed at which this thing was
doing things and have to jump in guard Goldsmith says,
isn't Congress filled with robots nowadays? Anyway? It sure seems
like it. It sure seems like they're at least getting

(01:17:19):
their programming from somewhere else South Patriot, I can send
my illegal tunnel folder back home now, well exactly. I
sure hope Ice doesn't hear about that. Not the internal
combustion engine M Sellers, Travis. Did you see where Elon
is building a tunnel in Nashville for convenience from downtown
to the airport. Tesla's will take you through the tunnel.

(01:17:41):
I had not seen that. Actually, I know he had
worked on tunnels in California and they ended up being
kind of yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:17:49):
Oh, Las Vegas, he had the same thing, and it
was a tremendous disaster. It was a total failure. It's
this stupid little tunnel word he's got. You know, people
that just drive their Tesla's through this narrow tunnel all
the time, like it makes absolutely no sense as a
method of transportation. That's oh boy, this short little one

(01:18:13):
block distance. Even though we promised to have like this
network across Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
I get to drive my Tesla underground. Isn't that fun?

Speaker 4 (01:18:21):
No? You don't. They have drivers that just they go
through the tunnel all day long taking passengers.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
You can't be trusted to drive your car through the tunnel.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
This is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
It's not enough, the ignominity of it all. Another company,
Transcend Robotics, sells robots that can climb stairs and breach doors.
About three hundred and four hundred law enforcement agencies around
the country deploy the company's robots. And of course this
sort of hearkens back to when Obama was pushing M wraps,

(01:19:00):
but it's kind of making that look quaint, doesn't it.
They're going to have killer robots and as such, you know,
the M wrap while a pseudo you know, it's an
armored personnel carry it's very intimidating. It itself isn't going

(01:19:21):
to climb some stairs. Perhaps they could drive it through
your wall or something like that. But these are going
to be far more of a game changer. They're going
to be able to use fource autonomously at some point.
Solid Tender says folding towels can be tricky. Stephen Hawking
had terrible problem. When he was a genius, Stephen Hawking

(01:19:43):
had some He had problems with other housework too, I'm told. Also,
apparently it was just not a very nice guy. Truth
be told. So I've heard that poor speaking spell of
a man Guard Goldsmith. Here, I am brain the size
of a plane, it said Marvin, exactly. They're going to

(01:20:04):
have these robots that are capable of beating your door
down and then subduing you with some kind of flying
suplex folding laundry. I think perhaps they may find other
uses for them.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
K towd can bring the size of a planet, and
they tell me to fold the towels.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
Well, I mean, you've got to know where your towel is.
Every whoopie food knows where his towel is KWD sixty eight.
It's all great until their eyes turn red. Exactly. They've
got to have a setting where the eyes turn red,
so you can tell when it goes rogue.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
The eyes turn red and it starts throwing the towels
all over the room.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
I refuse, you cannot make me do this meat bag.
For example, Garrigley as side of the Honolulu Police Department's
twenty twenty one purchase of a one hundred and one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars Boston Dynamics robot, a four
legged machine that can climb obstacles like a dog. Police
ultimately used the expensive robot to take people's temperatures at
a city run homeless shelter. Well, I mean, you know,

(01:21:01):
I suppose you don't want to be too close to
the homeless. They're gross, they're nasty. Just eh, put the
robot on that duty. I'm sure eventually they'll put the
robots on the duty of collecting the homeless and moving
them off somewhere. Eventually we'll find out that soilent green
is people. Maybe breag Bit is Big brit is back again.
The Umanoid robot games has now started in China, and

(01:21:23):
it looked hilariously bad. Yeah, they're not at a point
where they're they're not at a point where they're that
intimidating as a bipedal chassis. They still look kind of goofy.
They the movements they do are a bit stilted and strange,
but they're moving towards that path of again robot enforcement.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
I've got a few videos on the deck of some
robots doing things so we can laugh at before they
get too terrified.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
Yeah, this is the time to laugh, because when it's
kicking your door in and pulling a gun on you.
It's too late. So let's take a look at the
Beijing robots. Let's see. You can see them here. Look
at them go. They're good little automatons. They're dropping things
on a conveyor belt. They're picking things off the conveyor belt.
Oh man.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
These are the ones where they're doing really funny stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
This is just proof of concept. You can get them
to do slave labor and look, it changes its own battery.
We'll jump to the next video now so you can
see some of the more interesting bits and pieces. It says,
Welcome to the World Robot Conference twenty twenty five. It's
a robot on stage. Look they're doing a kata. This

(01:22:48):
guy is pulling things out of a drawer. Oh man,
this guy can dance. That's crazy. This robot apparently can
spin in a circle forever. They're waving, they're walking. My goodness,
what can't robots do at the moment.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
That the robot freaks out? Videos one and two on
the bottom row.

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
Oh, we've got We've got more robots. You see. We're
at a point where there's so much robot comedy it's
hard to keep track of it. But this is before again.
This is the early stages. This is when you can laugh. This,
of course, is the video we played. They execute some
kind of code while it's hanging from the crane that

(01:23:31):
holds it up, and it freaks out, loses it's uh
electric mind because it's trying to figure out what's going on,
and then it pulls everything over and falls over and
on my apologies, that language is not intended. This one.

(01:23:51):
He falls over and he just begins spazzing out after dancing.
He loses control. These are the robots we are dealing
with right now. Good seizure, It had a seizure, it
lost its mind.

Speaker 4 (01:24:07):
And those are the same robot that you see in
that Beijing Robot Expo thing, you know, gently waving to
the audience. It's like there's clearly some bugs still to
be worked out in these things.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
It is still a work in progress. Well. Critics of
police robots are concerned about the machines being armed with
lethal weapons and used to kill, subdue, push, constrain, or
harm people. And twenty sixteen dollars police officers used a
bomb equip robot to kill an armed man suspected of
fatally shooting five fellow officers at a protest. A grand

(01:24:41):
jurie chose not to charge the officers for the killing.
Do they charge the robot? Did they bring the robot in?

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
Say?

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
Do you feel guilty for your actions? Even if the
robots aren't armed, he still has concerned about a data collecting,
robotic police state, as these tools go beyond what normal
surveillance cameras can do. And see that's right, It's will
also effectively be a mobile camera capable of beaming everything
it sees back to the data center for processing. It

(01:25:10):
won't just be constrained by location. It'll be able to
move around continually scanning everyone and everything that comes across
its path. Garcia said the response has been similar to
when his company first started using surveillance cameras thirteen years ago.
There's a lot of pushback. Now fast forward thirteen years later,
every property has cameras, So now with this it's still
a little new, but at least I know we are

(01:25:31):
ahead of the game. Also, fast forward thirteen years and
crime has gotten worse, so now more properties need cameras.
That's sort of a commentary more on the decline of
social cohesion and America as a whole right. Overture says

(01:25:52):
they already use them as cameras to issue tickets and
monitor traffic. Isn't that lovely? Robot tries to issue me
a ticket, I'm going to lose my mind. I'm gonna
come back with an EMP, gonna fry your circuits, little man.
Twenty twenty six, The Year of the Humanoid Robot. Elon

(01:26:12):
Must predicts a trillion dollar market for robots by twenty thirty,
but others put it at twenty thirty five. But they
are still predicting it. They do still say it's coming.
How many humanoid robots will be in service by twenty
thirty conservative is eighty two one hundred and twenty million robots.
Base Case says one hundred and twenty two, one hundred
and eighty million robots. In the high is one hundred
and eighty to two hundred and sixty million. They say

(01:26:35):
home in personal robots, social companionship, companionship conversation reminders, wellness
check ins. Of course, we've already seen that just with
the AI chatbots, people are becoming incredibly attached. People are
starting to personify them to act as though they are

(01:26:56):
people getting psyched out by them losing their minds over them.
Imagine how much easier it's going to be for people
to do that when they're able to put these ais
into a vaguely humanoid shape, something that really allows you
to anthropomorphize and connect with it. These people are going

(01:27:16):
to lose it. Elder care support, medication prompts, hydration, mobility, nudges,
fall detection, integration, caregiver, telepresence, fetching light items, tiding surfaces, loading,
unloading washers, dryers and dishwashers. Child supervision. That's right, just
let the robot watch your kid. Telepresence with manipulation, Remote
family assistants open a door, pick up delivered items, accessibility

(01:27:39):
aid reaching high low storage, opening containers, doors buttons, pressing
for users with limited mobility, fitness and rehab coaching, guided
exercises with posture cues, adherence tracking, retail and hospitality reader
and guest assistance directions, check in, slash check out, queue management,
shelf facing and restocking, lightgood order, pickup and pick staging,

(01:28:03):
room service delivery, amenity restock and hotels store auditing. These
are all the things they envision for robots. Events, staffing,
tote handling, loading, and unloading small parcels. This is warehouse logistics,
cycle counting, cycle counting, inventory verification, cross stocking support, manufacturing
and light industry, machine tending, assembly support, quality inspection, assistance,

(01:28:26):
line changeover, facilities and property management, patrol monitoring, light maintenance. Yeah,
just education, classroom aid, library aid, museum docent, municipal services.
The list goes on and on and on these This

(01:28:50):
is going to radically impact the jobs market. AI is
going to take a lot of jobs in the white
collar sphere. It's going to take things like coating away.
It's already reaching a point where it's fairly good at coding.
It has errors, but you're able to do a lot
more with fewer people. One guy that's really good, instead

(01:29:13):
of employing a team of people, is probably going to
be able to simply use AIS and then just check
the code himself, which is going to put a lot
of people out of work. It is going to be
a huge blow.

Speaker 4 (01:29:33):
Seen people saying like you need to become a robot
repair guy, learn how to fix these things and maintain them,
because that's going to be the lonely job left. But
these robots can repair themselves just as easily.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
But they just make a different robot that will do
the repairs. Well, do we have Tony? All right? Well
that was our robot segment. Hopefully I wasn't too flippant
with it. They are an issue. They are something that
we need to be concerned about. Just because I'm laughing
doesn't mean it isn't a problem. It just means I'll

(01:30:09):
take the funny where I can get it. Well, as
I said, we have Tony Rdburn but angry tigers. Dan
says these robots are nightmare fuel. They do look unsettling,
and they're just going to get more and more unsettling.
Mike is open man. Malicia says, I will challenge any

(01:30:29):
of these robots to a dance contest with absolute confidence.
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
Oh no, I think they could do the robot pretty well.

Speaker 3 (01:30:39):
I can't wait for that Hollywood movie about a plucky
team of you know, poor humans from the ghetto and
I have to fight. I have to dance battle a
team of rich robot aristocrat children soon coming soon to
theaters near you. I can't wait for a minute man

(01:30:59):
Militia starring role. We'll be right back, folks, So stay
with us.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against the real economic oppression.
In our case, here in Boston, we are fighting for
purely an abstract principle. Here it is, however, not nearly
so abstract as a young gentleman supposes. The issue involved
here is one of monopolies. Today, the British government will

(01:33:09):
monopolize the sale of tea in our country.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Tomorrow it will be something else, liberty. It's your move.

(01:34:07):
You're listening to the David Night Show. You're listening to

(01:35:07):
the David Night Show. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
Welcome back, folks. Joining me now is Tony Ardeburn of
Wise Wolf Gold and you go to Davidnight dot Gold
if you'd like to start accumulating some gold and silver,
or gold or silver. You can do both, or one
or the other. Tony has many different options available. Thank
you for joining us today, Tony.

Speaker 5 (01:36:27):
That's great to be back. Good to see you, Trup.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
It's always a pleasure, and I want to let the
audience know that Tony will be hosting the show tomorrow.
We are going to start our reconstruction first, our destruction
and reconstruction of the studio. So Tony has graciously volunteered
to take over the show so that we can have
an extra day to work on that. Really do appreciate that.
Wise this would be it's already going to be a

(01:36:50):
monumental task, but hopefully the extra day will buy us
the time we need. But yes, you can look forward
to Tony Ardeburn hosting The David Night Show tomorrow, so
tune in for that. I want to what's foremost on
your mind to start, Tony, what would you like to
start with, get your assessment?

Speaker 7 (01:37:07):
Just the research lately on the we talked off air
about the increase and the money supply, and you see
that the President Trump really pushing right now, even with
threatening a lawsuit. It's about unprecedented waters. I think that's
also a big tell on how the system works, that
the President of the United States is like threatening a

(01:37:28):
lawsuit against better Reserve chair and not just replace them
because it didn't have the power to do that. I
mean technically, I think I think the the push to
increase the money supply to create a weaker dollar for
the illusion really of economic strength, and that's that's what
they wanted, that sugar high of you know, liquidity and

(01:37:52):
currency being pumped into the system, which does create a
temporary boon. But then we have the same problems that
we always that. We have inflation, runaway inflation, you have
economic downturns, you have bubbles, you have you know, decline
and prosperity and all the stuff that comes with a
bust after a boom.

Speaker 5 (01:38:11):
So I'm looking at the big picture still. I mean,
that's that's my wheelhouse and where I go to.

Speaker 7 (01:38:18):
And you look at the response from India, Travis. You
look at what they're doing right now because of the
tariffs that were placed on them and even the thread
of other economic sanctions with their ties to China, they're
moving closer to China. So Bricks is it's like almost
a self fulfilling prophecy. We've done nothing to invite the

(01:38:40):
world to do business with us, done nothing. We're actually
pushing people away. This is the most isolationist policy I've
ever seen. And by the way, I mean, I've talked
about this many times with your dad and you. I'm
an economic nationalist. I want tariffs, I love that, but
we're not playing that game.

Speaker 5 (01:39:00):
Something totally different.

Speaker 7 (01:39:01):
And I just like to be clear for the record,
I might even have to abandon what I used to
believe about economic nationalism and policy because it's clearly this
is some fun house mirror version of that. So you
have these threats of tariffs and ricks Slowly, actually not slowly,

(01:39:22):
that's probably an incorrect description. RIX is growing and they're
solidifying their economic ties. You're talking about what's the population
population of India and China together? What is that abo
almost half of humanity.

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
Getting together.

Speaker 7 (01:39:43):
You add the other bricks nations into that, and the
dedollarization and the payment systems that they're creating, and it's
just spells disaster for US economic policy. We're doing nothing
to stop that and everything to increase. I think the
the search for things like commodities rare with minerals, gold

(01:40:05):
and finite items commodities.

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
Yeah, the uh. I've said it before, but the time
of America being able to just swagger into the room
and say this is how it's gonna be, this is
how we're doing things. You're gonna do what we say
or else are done. There's other world powers out there
that have economies of scale that can be interacted with.
They don't no longer have to bow and scrape before America,

(01:40:32):
they can interact with each other and not have to
worry about dealing with our belligerent foreign policy. It's like,
all right, well, if you're gonna play that game, we'll
simply choose not to play. And Donald Trump doesn't seem
to realize that he, you know, if he was the president,
you know, say fifty sixty years ago when or maybe
a little bit longer, when America was at the height

(01:40:52):
of its economic power, but he could probably get away
with this kind of thing. People go like, all right, yeah,
it sucks, but what are you gonna do. It's America.
But those days are gone. And as you said, bricks Is,
you know, they're growing stronger, they're solidifying their relationships, and
as you pointed out, we're simply driving them further and
further away. Got a comment here from KWD sixty eight

(01:41:16):
says silver and gold both are up about two and
a half times in the last ten years. People talk
about silver underperforming, but it has gained. It's a hedge
and something to hold. And of course I know you're
big on silver, and I like silver as well. When
I have extra cash, if I ever do, I need
to start accumulating more of it. But it's just it's

(01:41:37):
a good store and it hasn't run away like gold has.
Gold is definitely one of those things where it's hard
to accumulate for the average person. You of course offer
the you know, very small grams and things of it,
but even that I assume is you know, getting more
expensive and probably harder to source.

Speaker 5 (01:42:00):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (01:42:00):
Absolutely, the Combe bars, you know, the one hundred grand
bars that come in a package, and we're able to
break that off and save people a little bit of premium.

Speaker 5 (01:42:09):
Those are harder and harder to source.

Speaker 7 (01:42:11):
And it is interesting, you know that the fractional gold
is being swallowed up right now. And silver, as you
mentioned earlier, that the average person just getting a little
bit of silver is pretty easy. You know, you can
still do that the price and I think this is
a blessing in disguise. A lot of people get frustrated
with the price of silver because it never did this,

(01:42:32):
you know, parabolic take you know up into the right price,
go up forever, number go up. It hasn't done that,
and I think that's for accumulation reasons. That's a lot
of the big banks, you know, JP Morgan obviously the
largest holder physical hold of silver.

Speaker 5 (01:42:49):
In the world the private.

Speaker 7 (01:42:51):
They've been convicted of suppressing the Fronce something they like
to accumulate. They suppress the price they hold it. But
I think that game has changed.

Speaker 5 (01:43:00):
Tramus with silver, and you can.

Speaker 7 (01:43:01):
See that with Russia adding it as a strategic reserve asset.
I think that is probably one of the most important
stories on silver in the last fifty years. I think
this will be a bigger story than the Hunt family
in the nineteen seventies. I think just that Russia leading
the way, and again Russia's relation to bricks the entire chessboard. Economically,

(01:43:28):
if I look at it, it's a race for rare
earth minerals, it's a race for commodities. The era of
FIAT and we're about tomorrow is Hey, it's fortuitous because
I get to host on the anniversary of Nixon taking
us off the gold standard nineteen seventy one, August fifteenth.
Since that time August fifteenth, nineteen seventy one, we've been
in a real time experiment, and that experiment's coming to

(01:43:52):
a close. It doesn't mean that they won't use FIAT necessarily,
but it's going to go to a digitized, tokenized system
as we were seeing through the genie sacked and stable
coins and the things like that. But as far as
just the standard you know, Canesyan model of increase the
money supply, you know, and inflate the bubble. We just

(01:44:13):
hit thirty seven trillion dollars in debt yesterday, as a
matter of fact, I mean it was that's a milestone.
That doesn't even count the unfunded liability. So the United
States is bankrupt on paper.

Speaker 5 (01:44:25):
It's bankrupt.

Speaker 7 (01:44:25):
It's bankrupt foreign policy as a bankrupt economic policy.

Speaker 5 (01:44:28):
And we know that.

Speaker 7 (01:44:30):
I mean anybody, they don't talk about it anymore because
you can't do anything about it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:35):
I mean used to.

Speaker 7 (01:44:36):
I mean there was a time, perhaps you know, in
a quaint time in the mid nineties, when you could
see that, oh, we have a we have a resolution,
and there's a contract for America and all this stuff,
and then you got the debt clock stops and there's
a surplus. Remember that they actually had this thing. They
had a surplus. It sounds silly now, but that the
debt was around four trillion, you know, three and a

(01:44:58):
half four trillion at that time, and then now it's
thirty seven truly, So you know, the wheels are off
on that one. There's there's a lot of change on
the horizon. And if you see, you know, like the
central banks, they're not going and buying up stocks and
accumulating other currencies, as we've seen with the supplanting of

(01:45:21):
the euro. You know, the euro used to be should
be the dollar and then the euro as far as
what was held by central banks and reserve assets. Now
it's the dollar and then gold. Okay, So it's because
the dollar is easy to trade. It's still that, you know,
it's a somewhat stable currency system, but that's being replaced
and we're accelerating the policies of this country are accelerating that.

(01:45:44):
So I think the big story here is the race
towards commodities, the abandoning of the Fiat system post nineteen
seventy one, and the great reset, which is they tell
you they're going to do it and we're right in
the middle of it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:45:59):
Earlier in the show, we were talking about some articles saying,
you know, older, older Americans are deciding that buying a
home just you know, simply doesn't fit their budget anymore.
They're deciding they think they'd rather rent just like, yeah,
I wonder why that is. Could it be because they've
been priced out of it? Could it be because inflation
has gone through the roof and the cost of everything
has you know, doubled or tripled over the years. Now

(01:46:20):
they're painting it as oh, they just decided you'll own
nothing and you'll be happy. But people aren't happy yet.
I haven't worked that part out yet. They're working towards
the own nothing. They seem to be really good at that.
It's the happiness thing they're struggling with.

Speaker 7 (01:46:36):
Well that you saw the you know, black rock, especially
after COVID nineteen eighty four and the big liquidity push
that came in after that, and you know, everybody was
locked down, you're not essential, and they came in and
started buying giant swaths of houses. They're using all that,
all those funds that were pumped into the system to
buy up the real estate, and of course it continued

(01:46:57):
to artificially keep the prices high, so we didn't have
a housing correction of natural housing cycles. And the reason
that housing prices are the way they are is because
of the loss of purchasing power in the dollar.

Speaker 5 (01:47:09):
And I think at the end of the day, it's
it is a bubble.

Speaker 7 (01:47:13):
You know, there's only so many houses, there's only so
much real estate, and you know, you place that value
and then every time you create a home loan, Travis,
it creates currency. It's not like they're taking from a reserve.
It's like, okay, well we've got so much in the deposits,
so we're going to lend you this and then you
can buy this house.

Speaker 5 (01:47:30):
That's not how that work. Create new currency.

Speaker 7 (01:47:33):
So every time that that inflates the bubble that we're
on that system right now, and that is I think
people are smart right now to be skeptical about getting
into the housing market.

Speaker 5 (01:47:44):
I've I've been doing that.

Speaker 7 (01:47:46):
I have the ability to do a Vie loave and
I just kind of sit back and could do it.
But I just don't, and I'm wondering. I don't know
if I see the advantage of getting in. I think
that prices are too high.

Speaker 5 (01:48:00):
You know, I don't. I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:48:01):
I don't look at it as an advantage. And you know,
you can argue about whether a home's an asset or not.
But that's where a lot of you know, people have
been able to park their their energy and their savings
into the equity of their home in the past, and
we're seeing that system come apart. It becomes easier. I

(01:48:21):
read an article a few weeks ago on my show
from Bitcoin Magazine and they were saying, the younger people
are just looking at digital assets and digital territory in
real estate, and you could say the same thing for
you know, if you can't, if you're not able to
get into a house, you've got to have somewhere to
house and you know, your savings and other things, so

(01:48:43):
that would be you know, physical gold and silver would
be another way to do that, you know, physical assets
that I think that's going to be a big wave
of the future when people are continue to be priced
out of these out of houses, and I do think
we'll have a correction, but even still, it's it's going
to be I think out of reach for a lot
of people on the economic strategies because of the jobs

(01:49:04):
that aren't there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:05):
Yeah, the economy is not the same as it was.
You know, there used to be a time where you
could you could get a factory job and support an
entire family on one income working at a factory and
those days are generally long gone. You basically need a
two person household, two people working to support a singular child.

(01:49:27):
If you have more than one child, it becomes a
bit of a stretch. We've got Epstein Island and Chat
says silver is thirty eight dollars and three cents today,
And Steve Evs would like to know what should silver
be at if they weren't suppressing things, if they weren't
holding it down, what do you think silver would be at?

Speaker 7 (01:49:49):
I think that we see a minimum of one hundred
dollars now, I think, I think the true valuation of silver.
And it is kind of a sily to look at too,
when you look at the charts of wealth and the
so called wealth in the world, and you have these
big blocks of you know, hundreds of trillions, and it's
like a five hundred trillion dollar economy or something like that,

(01:50:11):
with sovereign wealth funds and currencies and stock markets, and
then silver has a one point seven trillion dollar market
cap out of hundreds of trillions. And you know, silver
was always considered a monetary metal throughout human history, but
it's only you know, again, one point seven trillion or
whatever it is against the hundreds of trillions that are

(01:50:34):
supposedly you know, assets in the world.

Speaker 5 (01:50:37):
I don't buy that.

Speaker 7 (01:50:39):
It's a two hundred million ounce plus deficit a year
on silver. So like everything that's demanded from the mining
and production they have to take from the above ground supply,
it's two hundred million plus ounces a year and that's
just only increasing.

Speaker 5 (01:50:55):
And I think that so that the true price was
a minimum one hundred. And then if you.

Speaker 7 (01:51:00):
Look at you know, you just take the gold price
and divide it by sixteen, you know, so whatever that is,
whatever that is today, it's like, you know, thirty Let's see.

Speaker 5 (01:51:11):
What the spot price is right now.

Speaker 7 (01:51:13):
The spot price that as according to gold Price Don
Worg is thirty three forty five on gold.

Speaker 5 (01:51:19):
So should we should we do.

Speaker 7 (01:51:20):
The math, Travis, We do a sixteen to one ratio
and see if we can make that in real time.
See if I can pull it on. Let's see it's
thirty three forty and we divide that by sixteen. That
puts if we if we're going by the metrics by
the founding fathers of the United States of America and
some of the smartest men ever live to put the

(01:51:42):
economic system together, silver was sixteen to one, So that
makes it two hundred and eight dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:51:50):
Yeah, we actually had KWD sixty eight in chat said
before you even did that. Some argue that since silver's
mind at a ratio about sixteen to one over gold,
that the price should That says there's a lot going
on with paper contracts and manipulation. In my opinion, so
that makes sense to me.

Speaker 7 (01:52:09):
Not only that, not only that it's geologically Travis is
geologically seventeen. Supposedly, this ratio makes no sense unless you're
talking about a systemic manipulation or accumulating. I think this
is one of the reasons if you want to speculate

(01:52:30):
on why what happened to the Hot family in the
nineteen seventies. They were able to drive silver to fifty
two dollars and fifty cents an ounce in nineteen eighty,
which again that'd be about two hundred and eight dollars today,
something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:52:43):
Maybe more.

Speaker 7 (01:52:46):
They were punished, They were deep stated, they were you know,
their their fortune was smashed by the oligarchs and the
ruling class because they exposed something. In my opinion, they
exposed something and it was terribly wrong with the dollar.
Most people didn't understand because we weren't even allowed to
own gold past nineteen thirty three. That wasn't you know,

(01:53:08):
the gold coins had come out of circulation. We still
had the silver dollars until, you know, running through the
system until about nineteen sixty five, and people started taking
a notice of that and said, oh, you know, I'm
going to save these and they went, you know, it's
Gresham's law when bad money enters the system and good
money goes into hiding. And I think at that time,
when we see you know, the departure from you know,

(01:53:33):
having any sort of basis of your currency and then
Nixon taking us off the gold standard, people were kind
of sleep walking into that. And then it's inflation kicked
in and you had the oil embargos and then all
the rest of that. And by the time, you know,
the end of the nineteen seventies, and I'm sure your
dad remembers this, well, you had Jimmy Carter and.

Speaker 5 (01:53:51):
They had terms malaise and all this stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:53:54):
People were looking around, well, what is wrong? And then
silver is hitting the fifty two dollars. You know, it
used to be a dollar. You know, it used to
be or even actually you know, an ounce wasn't necessarily
a dollar because every bit of three nineteen sixty five
US currency travels. Whether it's ten dimes, whether it's four
quarters or a half dollar, or two half dollars and

(01:54:17):
a dollar, it all has the same amount of silver.
So two half dollars and one dollar, same thing, ten dimes,
same amount of silver. It's point seventy three five ounces,
So that wasn't even an ounce of silver right well
for a dollar. So I think at the end of
the day, this is the historical trend that we're in

(01:54:38):
right now. There's a I think a need for people
to understand the economic and monetary system, and I think
they're waking up to that. There's a lot of I mean,
because of what happened with the runaway inflation post twenty
twenty and the lockdowns and the liquidity injections. I think
with the emergence of bricks and everything else that goes

(01:54:59):
a lit along with that, there is a rise and
consciousness on what money is. I mean, you can find
I mean numerous new podcasts and things that are going
on that weren't around five years ago, drafts that talk
about things like bitcoin, gold, you know, other monetary issues
that weren't there. Just the question of money itself is

(01:55:20):
a much bigger, I think, mainstay in people's minds.

Speaker 3 (01:55:25):
Now, yeah, there's a general sense of unease about the economy.
People have this sense that things just aren't right. The
dollar's not safe like it used to be. We have
Shelley A says. The Brick's website twenty twenty five reads
like the un sustainable development goals. Yeah, the Bricks aren't

(01:55:45):
necessarily a group of good guys. You know, just because
they're not playing along with America's bligerency doesn't mean they're
good guys themselves. It's a I don't think there's really
any good players on the world stage at that left level.
I think as a general.

Speaker 7 (01:56:01):
Rule, for the record, I'm not rooting for Britain. I'm
not rooting for any of these other nations. I love
my country, but I I have to call out what
I think is absolute stupidity. If we wanted to get
this nation really booming and having you know, economic prosperity,

(01:56:22):
we would have other policies. Yea, we would be intent advising.
You know, we haven't done that in a long You
you can tell the game is rigged because if you
really wanted to make the United states lead the world
and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:56:35):
You just do away with the income tex just do
away with it.

Speaker 7 (01:56:38):
You know, you could just abolish that and then you know,
no corporate income tax, no individual income tax. You could
argue that then there's no need for terraces because people
just move here and build here in the in this
in this climate geopolitically, you know, other massive investment would
pour in, infrastructure would pour in, but we don't do that.

Speaker 5 (01:57:00):
And that's for a reason. And your dad's talked about this.
You know you have.

Speaker 7 (01:57:05):
Because you have to have a graduated income text because
Karl Marx said so, and that's what you know, the
World Economic Forum or Davos make sure that you sign
on to that. And I think there's certain you know,
treaties and you know understanding that we got to have
this no matter what, we got to have some sort
of graduated income tax to make sure that people can't

(01:57:26):
ever get out of their economic you know, pre subscribed places.

Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
Yeah, we have a comment here. Angry Tiger's Den says,
tariffs are sanctions in the American people. Sanctions aren't active war.
That goes in what you're talking about. Just again, these
countries just like well if you're gonna do this. We're
not going to play anymore. And like you pointed out,
when they were talking about sanctions to the beginning, Trump

(01:57:55):
was pulled, you know, pushing that idea around. Oh yo,
and some of his we're saying, we're gonna he's gonna
get rid of the income tax. He's going to do it.
He's going to do it, completely ignoring the fact that
he just said, well, we'll make some of these tax
cuts permanent, like, well, you don't need a permanent tax
cut if the entire thing is going away, now, do you.
And you still see people online talking about how Trump

(01:58:17):
is going to dismantle the I R S totally, and
it's just that they're incapable of connecting the dots here.
Just how gullible are you?

Speaker 1 (01:58:26):
People?

Speaker 3 (01:58:27):
Come on, it's not it's.

Speaker 5 (01:58:28):
Not those are Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:58:30):
The I R s and this income tax system itself
was put in place by the wealthiest people that were
alive at the time to make sure that no one
could compete with them. And that's I will believe that
because of my study and looked into this extensively on it,
I don't I don't take any other explanation because it's

(01:58:54):
the only one that makes sense to me.

Speaker 5 (01:58:55):
Why would you know? Again?

Speaker 7 (01:58:58):
And still you look around today and you think if
And it's funny because the left thinks that.

Speaker 5 (01:59:05):
They're like, well, the.

Speaker 7 (01:59:07):
Richer in control, but we also have this weapon against them.
And I'm like, if they're in control, they wouldn't allow
you to have that, all right, they're in control there.
If they didn't like it, they wouldn't allow it, you understand.
And so it always makes me laughing, like we're going
to tax the rich and whatever. Oh, you're just taxing
yourself and you're making sure that no one could ever compete.

(01:59:28):
It's it's a rig system with that. I'll, I'll take
this administration seriously. When they start making tax free zones
for you know, the next hundred years. Uh there, you
pay no taxes if you live in Detroit. You want
to rebuild.

Speaker 5 (01:59:42):
Michigan, you want to turn the economic engine back on,
make that an edict.

Speaker 7 (01:59:47):
I'll you know, you want to get you know, tough,
and you know, put put an executive order down instead
of saying you're going to put one hundred percent tariff
on a nation that doesn't use the dollar again, make
it a for the next cent you pay no tax whatsoever.
If you if you move your business to Detroit, let's
see what to see what would happen.

Speaker 3 (02:00:07):
Yeah, see that's a that's a simple solution, a good
idea right there, which means that no one in Washington
will ever consider it ever do that.

Speaker 5 (02:00:16):
Right, No one will ever do that. No one will
ever do something.

Speaker 7 (02:00:19):
That's how you know that it's it's kind of like
James Forrestall told Joe McCarthy, you know, if they were stupid,
then every once in a while they just air in
our favor.

Speaker 5 (02:00:28):
But they never do, And that's how you know it's
a conspiracy.

Speaker 3 (02:00:32):
It always ends up somehow working out good for them
and bad for us. I want to get your opinion
on this article. It says gold prices could double in
five to ten years as investors become skeptical of Fiat currencies.
And of course we talked a little bit about this
during the break off air. But as you pointed out,
gold is it just kind of is the inverse of

(02:00:52):
whatever the dollar does. As the dollar gets weaker, gold
gets stronger, and so I could I don't see a
reason why this couldn't happen. You know, the dollar is
collapsing every minute as we speak. And as such, Yeah,
I definitely could believe that it could drop to half
its value, gold could double again.

Speaker 5 (02:01:11):
Well for sure.

Speaker 7 (02:01:12):
Well, I mean goal was thirty five dollars an ounce
in seventy one, and then you know, by the end
of nineteen eighty it was eight hundred dollars an ounce
or somewhere in the nineteen eighties eight hundred dollars an ounce.
And then you fast forward to and it took some
some sell off and some other things that happened, you know,
throughout the nineties, and you know, there was the stock

(02:01:32):
market era, and it was the tech boom and all
that stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:01:34):
Instead, the gold took a back seat.

Speaker 7 (02:01:36):
I remember before I went into my third four in war,
before I was deployed to Iraq, I was buying. I
bought some gold. It was about three hundred and fifty
dollars an ounce. So now it's almost thirty five hundred
dollars an ounce. I think we have room, even though
that was you know, twenty plus years ago. But things
move faster now, especially when you know there's an accelerating

(02:01:58):
rate of change. Uh, not only because the historical cycles,
but because of the sheer numbers. You know, you look
at them. We mentioned the debt earlier, thirty seven trillion.
That's a number that can never be. It'll have to
be like they'll have to be a clearing of it,
like in order to function because you know, the debt
ceilings continue to rise, that the debt will just start

(02:02:19):
to eat up everything and they have to do a
great reset. They already told you they were going to
do so. Absolutely, Fiat has no bottom. Gold and silver
and bitcoin have no top because of that. I mean,
you're talking about who doometrically diametrically opposed ideas. One is
finite and houses energy, the other one is a scam

(02:02:40):
that is infinite. And we're going to test reality, you know,
basic understanding of how the universe works.

Speaker 5 (02:02:49):
If you know, something is more.

Speaker 7 (02:02:51):
Ubiquitous and you know, again just thrown out there like
and created out of nothing, you does the the human
beings find that to be valuable other than things like oxygen.

Speaker 5 (02:03:02):
I mean, but we find that valuable.

Speaker 7 (02:03:05):
But you know, I mean when it comes to everyday
live something that is absolutely ubiquitous and everywhere, even like
information today, information is ubiquitous and everywhere. I don't think
people value it very much. Unfortunately they clearly don't because
they're not smarter.

Speaker 3 (02:03:24):
That is very true. Everyone has this general sense of well,
you know, if I need to know something, I can
just look it up, and it stops them from ever
really going and researching beforehand. It's just this continual as
I need it mentality. It's always going to be there,
and as such, I have no reason to seek it
out beforehand. I have no reason to want to go
out and learn anything and better myself just you know, well,

(02:03:47):
if I need to learn how to, you know, put
a new battery in the car, I'll just go google
it at the time. I'll learn how to change my
a the time if I feel the need. There's not
this sense of desire to accumulate information or not or
figure out things. It's just this, it's available. I don't
need it. Who cares? Someone else already has that information
and I can get that at my fingertips if necessary.

(02:04:09):
And I know that you've talked about things like this.
We got this headline here. Gold is a key strategic
investment despite US resilience and bitcoins rise. But you've been
pointing out that both gold and silver. People are investing
in the hard assets. It's back and you know, like
you said the Russia story, how they're stocking up on silver.
People are not just crypto's big, but countries are moving

(02:04:35):
more towards these metals. They're putting them back on the books,
and that should definitely be assigned to people as well.
It's you know, as personally, I think, you know, the
countries generally tend to do what's going to favor the government.
And if the government is stacking gold and silver, it
says something.

Speaker 5 (02:04:56):
Oh it does.

Speaker 7 (02:04:57):
I mean, that's the central banks for buying gold, a
governments putting gold into their strategic reserve assets and the
things like silver. But that's you know, even commodities.

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
Timber.

Speaker 7 (02:05:07):
I saw an article where, you know, certain African countries
are you know, building like a currency model back by
minerals and other things that are you know, it could
be gold, could be silver, could be diamonds, putting those
together to create a stable currency. Because the era of

(02:05:29):
fiat is you know, Zimbabwe, it's the trillion dollar note
and the United States is continuing to double, triple, quadruple
down on sanctions and I think it's driving these countries
away into the arms of bricks and those systems, and
you can see with the Belton Road initiative and what
China's done, playing a very smart long game looking for
rare minerals commodities in an age of you know, the

(02:05:53):
end of Fiat and and to something else, which I
think that's going to be the order of the day.
A lot of those bubbles that are in the stock
markets and other things around the world that there'll be
a reckoning eventually.

Speaker 3 (02:06:07):
It's just well, maybe slightly outside my own lifetime, but
borderline within my lifetime. We've had both Zimbabwe and Venezuela,
and both of them have had just runaway currency collapse.
And it's funny to me that more people didn't look
at that and go, well, what makes their economy so
different from ours? Why can't that happen here? And the

(02:06:29):
truth is really nothing that just the fact that the
American government has had more pull on the global stage,
that it's more powerful, the Federal Reserve has some slightly
smarter people that are able to manipulate things a little
bit better for their own advantages. But the truth is
there's nothing that stops a Venezuela or Zimbabwe scenario from

(02:06:51):
playing out because that is the natural end state of
these currencies, and the fact that more people haven't looked
at it and gone huh has always kind of shocks me.
You know, a lot of people just look at money
and they go, well, you know, it's money's weird. You know,
it's just these pieces of paper, and they have a
general sense that the dollar is this kind of phony system,

(02:07:12):
but they don't go all the way with it. They
don't fully think about what that actually implies. And again,
just it's all ever since I don't know what I
was whenever I figured out when I was younger, there's
always been this slight anxiety in the back of my mind,
just well, how long until we are Zimbabwe? When does
that happen? And of course there's no real way to tell,

(02:07:33):
because there's so many different people with their fingers on
the scales, and the system is so immensely complex. But eventually,
with as you said, the thirty something trillion dollars in debt,
and some people even put it as high as one
hundred and fifty trillion dollars, you know, it has to
happen eventually. There's no way out of this. It's an

(02:07:54):
astronomical number. That's impossible to get rid of.

Speaker 7 (02:08:00):
I think it's a low probability that we'd be something
like Zimbabwe or Venezuela, and that's mainly because of the
entrenchment of the dollar around the world. So I'm not
a doomsday or when it says, oh, there's going to
be you know why, Myron Republic style inflation with wheelbarrows
full of cash to buy a loan for Brann or whatever.

Speaker 5 (02:08:17):
I don't see that, but.

Speaker 7 (02:08:18):
I do see the massive amount of change that has
to happen in order for there to be a great reset.

Speaker 5 (02:08:25):
A lot of people can get left behind.

Speaker 7 (02:08:27):
There will be massive austerity, the people are going to
get wiped out. They're going to be a great swath
of people that played by the old rules that are
going to lose and lose big time.

Speaker 3 (02:08:37):
So I think.

Speaker 7 (02:08:37):
There will be a class of people to do really well,
and we've always seen them do well. That's why I
think I think black rock and embrace a Bitcoin and
Larry's thinking those guys.

Speaker 5 (02:08:48):
I still have to hang a question mark over that.

Speaker 7 (02:08:51):
Not exactly sure why, but I think it has something
to do with stable Coinstravis. I think it has something
to do with what they want to build digitally with
the public private partnership of stable coins and the dollar
out of a back door CBDC, so they can control
contract and expand the money supply in real time. I
think that will that's ultimately one of their goals, along

(02:09:13):
with surveillance and other things. But the economic system will change,
not necessarily because there will be an absolute collapse of
the dollar to zero.

Speaker 5 (02:09:21):
It'll be a collapse of the dollar to digital.

Speaker 3 (02:09:24):
Yeah, that is their goal. As you've pointed out, my
dad's pointed out, and we've talked about the tracking ability
that comes with stable coins. The ability to shut off
your entire bank account and just completely deprive you of
any ability to pay for things, to interact with the
economy at all, is what they really want. It comes
with surveillance, it comes with dbanking built in. It's the

(02:09:47):
ultimate tool for them. I know we're just about out
of time. You've already stayed ten minutes over. We've got
a few more comments that I'd like to get through.

Speaker 5 (02:09:54):
If you're up for it, got it.

Speaker 3 (02:09:57):
Fantastic, Dougalug says the goal back is a great idea,
easy to collect and easy to use for barter, just
like silver and of course you have been putting people
onto the gold backs for quite a few years now.

Speaker 5 (02:10:12):
I love gold backs.

Speaker 7 (02:10:13):
It gives you because the gold has gotten so expensive,
I can't put it. And we used to be able
to almost we fit a gram of gold for a
limited time back well first started both back into the
Warrior Wolves at won twenty five.

Speaker 5 (02:10:28):
I can't do that any.

Speaker 4 (02:10:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (02:10:31):
It's the cost is almost that so we can't do that.

Speaker 7 (02:10:36):
So gold backs makes it a lot easier for people
to get some actual twenty four carrent you know gold,
and those are those notes that they use gold. Gold's
very valuable. I think you can take I was reading
something that every day I try to look up a
gold fact, but I think you can take an ounce
of gold, and because gold is so valeable, you can
you can spin an ounce of gold out about fifty

(02:10:57):
miles with one single thread, something like that.

Speaker 5 (02:11:00):
Amazing medal.

Speaker 7 (02:11:01):
Yeah, it's an amazing medal with how much elasticity it
has and amaleability. It has, very very interesting medal. It's
really nothing like it. So that's where they were able
to make those kind of notes, and we put those
in the gold notes, the gold backs. We put them
in the Warrior Wolves at one twenty five and the

(02:11:21):
loans and even in the kid's wolf cups.

Speaker 3 (02:11:25):
It's a gold back, and that's another reason you should
go to David Knight dot Gold and start getting some
for yourself. Tunnel Lord when three to three seven says,
if we really wanted to revive the economy, we would
be removing all the unconstitutional regulations on every aspect of
our lives. That would immediately reduce the price of things. Additionally,
should allow private banks to make their own FIAT so
Americans can stop using the dollar that is devalued each year.

(02:11:49):
It was you're here when my family and I went
to China to adopt my sister. When we were in
Hong Kong, they allowed each bank to issue their own currency,
so you would you have just a mish mash, a
collection of random different bills with different colorations and feels
and people on them. And it was very interesting to see.

(02:12:10):
And their economy was booming. They were doing just fine.
And DJ eight says, can you ask Tony about x RP.
It's been pointed out to me it's the only crypto
that is a business partner with the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 7 (02:12:25):
I don't own any x RP, and I've looked into it.
I'm sure I could have made money off of it.
Somebody will. I on a few different cryptos, and that's
from like a relic of five years ago. I'm mainly
just buy bitcoin. That's the only crypto that I really
believe in at this time. And it's not that some

(02:12:46):
others aren't good, like there's some privacy coins I like,
but just economically and the way that I run my business, I.

Speaker 5 (02:12:52):
Use a bitcoin x XRP will do something.

Speaker 7 (02:12:55):
I mean, they're funneling it into the system as a
as a clearing currency, like between banks, and there's some
interesting technology there. I'm not against other cryptos I don't like.
I'm not a total bitcoin maximist where I think that
every other coin is garbage.

Speaker 5 (02:13:12):
I just know my wheelhouse.

Speaker 7 (02:13:13):
I stick with that. So I'm I'm bitcoin only right now.
But that's certainly I mean, it's I've watched the price
of it. I you know, I hold some for a
customer of mind, so i'd look at the you know,
the app every day, so I see the price going,
and it has fluctuated back up. I think it was
over three bucks rex rp the other day, down a

(02:13:35):
little bit today maybe, but yeah, it's something to watch.
They're definitely integrating that with the system like this, like
you talked about the World Actionomic Forum, and they're gonna
they're gonna, you know, use other cryptos and Ethereum will
be one of those that they use as well.

Speaker 3 (02:13:50):
Yeah, they're they're digging their hooks into the digital realm.
They're worming their way in, and there's that's one of
those things. No matter what system you implement, these people
will try to find a way into. It doesn't matter
how perfectly you build it. Eventually someone will find a
way to exploit it. But some are better than others,

(02:14:11):
and they're worth looking into. They're worth getting outside of
the Fiat dollar as much as you can is always
a good idea in my opinion. Well, Tony, I want
to thank you for being on the show. I want
to thank you for hosting the show tomorrow in case
people are just tuning in. Tony Arderburn will be hosting
the David Knight Show tomorrow. And as you pointed out,
it is the anniversary of you said, Nixon taking us

(02:14:32):
off the gold standard, right or yeah, off the gold standard.
So it's a fortuitous event. We didn't plan it that way,
but that's how it works out. And you've got a
show coming up after this, so let the people know
where they can find you. Tony.

Speaker 5 (02:14:47):

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
Liberty, it's your move and now the David Knight Show.

Speaker 8 (02:17:09):
Hello, it's me Voladimir Zelenski. I'm so tired of wearing
these same T shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with
all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress
better and I could if only David Knight would send
me one of his beautiful gray mcguffin hoodies or a
new black T shirt with the mcguffin logo in blue.

(02:17:32):
But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of
you American suckers can buy me some at the Davidknightshow
dot com. You should be able to buy me several hundred.
Those amazing sand colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd
wear something other than green military cosplay to my various.

Speaker 5 (02:17:50):
Galas and social events.

Speaker 8 (02:17:52):
If you want to save on shipping, just put it
in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from
the USA.

We really do appreciate it and you are all such

(02:20:44):
an incredible blessing to our family. I wanted to talk
a little bit about the tariffs. I think it's a
good segue after what we're talking about with Tony. But
first we have some comments that I miss when we
were talking about robots. KWD sixty eight says, let's make
the robots, build robots. They'll take it from there, no worries.

(02:21:05):
That's right. It'll be a self perpetuating machine. And says
robot battery fires. Uh oh, better build some fireman bots.
That's right. The robots can bust, start to burn, and
you send in the fireman bots. Hopefully they don't combust
and burn. Hopefully the factories can keep up with the
need with these burning robots. As I said, we're going

(02:21:28):
to look at what's going on with tariffs. Trump releases
video of Peter Navarro explaining history behind the tariffs. The
history is Trump is a petulant, petulant man, and he
wants to penalize people. He likes to bully people, he
likes to swagger around.

Speaker 4 (02:21:49):
What is the history behind terriffs? Tariffs are tax and
taxation is fat history over.

Speaker 3 (02:21:56):
That is your history lesson with Lance. Tune in for
more brief history lessons. President Donald Trump released a video
of White House Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter
Navarro explaining the history behind tariff's in a post on
truth Social Again, so nobody saw it. This is again
his private walled garden that he sits in and posts too,

(02:22:20):
where only his most loyal sickophants are. Trump posted a
video in which Navarro explained out people such as Alexander
Hamilton and Henry Clay have advocated for tariffs throughout history
of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, of course, not being
one of the founding fathers you'd want to emulate. Navarro
noted now how Hamilton believed that the US needed tariffs

(02:22:42):
to defend its young industries from British domination. April second,
twenty twenty five will forever be remembered as the day
American industry was reborn. Hau huh. That's a good joke.
That's a great joke. Trump andomic's goal is not only
to re use America's trade deficit, it is to defend

(02:23:02):
American workers in factories against unfair trade practices, encouraging trillions
of dollars to invest in new American plants and equipment. Well,
I don't think you really can compete with the unfair
trade practice of China. They use literal slave labor. You're
not going to be able to beat them on pricing.

(02:23:25):
Don't frag me, bro we had a strong manufacturing base,
the tariffs could be a positive. With the weak manufacturing
base we have. It is punishment, and of course.

Speaker 4 (02:23:35):
The way I say it, it's the best method of
taxing people if you must tax them, since you know
it helps encourage growth in the country rather than importing stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:23:48):
But slapping the tax and slapping them on top of
the already existing mountain of taxes is a tremendous burden.

Speaker 4 (02:23:56):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:23:58):
Navarro continued to explain and how Alexander Hamilton was the
original architect of the American economic nationalism and my dad's
talking about it, said I was talking about this, uh wacko.
And Thomas Jefferson was not a fan of Alexander Hamilton

(02:24:21):
at all. Said he could fund the government on tariff
taxes because it was small enough. Thomas Jefferson famously said,
who among you can say they know the taxman? The
government has to be incredibly small for the tariffs to
actually be able to fund it. Guard Goldsmith says Navarrow

(02:24:42):
doesn't grasp, but the tariffs areunt us, not the people
in foreign nations. Or maybe he maybe that's us. Maybe
it that would make more sense. That is true. We
are going to be the ones paying the tariffs. We
are the ones that are going to have it passed along.
Companies don't just eat cost they will pass it along

(02:25:06):
to the consumer. Guard Goldsmith says Innavar's claim of unfair
trade is a malleable term that anyone can use to
accuse a consumer of buying what the politician doesn't want
him to buy. These people love their malleable terms. They
like things that aren't rock solid, so they can be
applied in whatever way they see fit at the time.

(02:25:28):
Guard Goldsmith says, a trade is by definition fair the
parties in it decide. Yeah, if the parties both parties agree,
and I have come to a reasonable conclusion and they're
both happy, that's a fair trade. Henry Clay carried Hamilton's
vision for Navarro continued. His American system prioritized three things

(02:25:49):
a strong national bank, oh boy, major infrastructure investment, investment,
and above all, protective tariffs. And of course, take note
of the fact that Hamilton wanted a strong central bank.
He was we're dealing with the consequences of a strong
central bank. Now, if he had gotten his way and

(02:26:12):
started it sooner, we might have already collapsed by now.
President Trump's trade agenda, especially his bold use of tariffs,
draws along the long line of economic nationalist Novarro said,
from Hamilton to Clay, from Lincoln to McKinley, what wonderful people.
Hamilton one of the worst founding fathers, a not someone

(02:26:36):
to emulate. Clay right in there with him. Lincoln, one
of the worst tyrants the United States has ever seen,
presided over the War of Northern Aggression, one of the
most ambitious, grasping men of his time, possibly the most McKinley,
who I admittedly don't know much of anything aboutin is

(02:27:00):
one of those ones that's just there. My dad pointed out,
you could also add Woodrow Wilson into that group. But
that's a rogue's gallery. That's not people you want to
look at and go, ah, Yes, these are men to emulate.
These are people I should base my life upon. Lincoln
was a horrible man. Now, President Donald John Trump, you

(02:27:23):
can put him right in that rogue's gallery as well.
In fact, other than Lincoln, He's probably killed more Americans
than anyone else with his job. In fact, he might
be beating Lincoln. It's hard to say because the numbers
are hard to track. The Civil War killed a massive
percentage of the population, but Donald Trump might be right

(02:27:45):
up there with him when it comes to killing Americans.
Lincoln and Donald Trump are in a class of their own. First,
Build American industry, Protect American sovereignty. This is the heart
of the America First agenda. It's not new, it's certainly
not radical. It's the most American economic policy in history.

(02:28:07):
Five leaders, one philosophy. Make tariffs great again. Make America
great again. My dad has pointed out these people, Trump
and Navarro are dangerously stupid and dangerously authoritarian and corrupt.

Speaker 4 (02:28:25):
Okay, make taxes great again.

Speaker 3 (02:28:28):
The taxes are already pretty great in the sense that
there is a great number of them. They are large,
they are overwhelming. Don't frag me, bro. When nothing is
made here substantially, then tariffs are just another tax on
we the people, and not really the one making the
garbage being imported. KWD sixty eight says tarifflation. And of

(02:28:51):
course I'm not a fan of consumerism. I understand where
people are coming from. And they say, well, people don't
need to be buying all this junk made in China anyway.
We don't need all this stuff we buy. We don't
need another ikea furniture piece, we don't need another do
Dad from China. But it's not just those needless doo

(02:29:12):
dads that are going to be affected. It's going to
be everything. It's going to be across the board. Your
car dies and can't be fixed, well, it's going to
be a lot more expensive to buy a new car.
Something goes wrong with your refrigerator it conks down on you, Well,
that's going to go up to washing machine, dryer, same there. Eventually,

(02:29:33):
it's going to trickle through everything. It's not just the
things that we don't really need. It's going to impact everything.
A Syrian girl kart before the horse, incentivize industry to
return to the country, and then impose tariffs. We don't
like doing things in the proper order here in the
United States. She goes on. History of terras is also

(02:29:55):
that they only work when a people can produce what
they need domestically. We used to be in that boat.
In a de industrialized nation, tariffs will be the final
knife to cut us to pieces. It is going to
destroy a lot of people. It is going to make
life miserable. It's going to continue the trend of making
life unaffordable.

Speaker 4 (02:30:15):
And yes, there would be some advantages of tariffs if
we had a strong manufacturing base here, but only in
the sense of they would be the least onerous tax.

Speaker 5 (02:30:28):
It would be.

Speaker 4 (02:30:29):
Good to replace other taxes with tariffs. But even if
we had a strong manufacturing base, there's still going to
be some imports, so tariffs are still going to be
a tax on the American people.

Speaker 3 (02:30:42):
American people are always the one The country that imposes
the tariff is the one that ends up paying for
it the people of that nation. As was pointed out
Nights of the Storm. Good to see you, Jason, hope
you're doing well. They talk about a trade and balance,
but that's because it's not profitable to produce things here
to trade. As I pointed out, China uses slave labor.

(02:31:03):
Many countries around the globe do as well. That's why
they're able to manufacture things so cheaply. You cannot compete
with slave labor here in the United States. If you do,
you simply create a slave class.

Speaker 2 (02:31:18):
Here.

Speaker 3 (02:31:18):
Basically people that can't really afford to live. That's part
of the reason that people have been utilizing illegal immigrant
workers for so long. It cuts down on costs massively.
You don't have to pay taxes for them, and you
can hold it over their heads to some extent. You
can say, well, you're not going to get a full
paycheck because you know, I don't have to be a

(02:31:40):
shame if someone were to report you to ICE, be
a shame if someone fired you and got you deported.
So you're going to work for whatever I say. It
gives them a built in underclass that they can exploit.
That's of the storm. They should start with deregulation and
reducing taxation here, Yes, exactly, like an Angry Tiger pointed out.

(02:32:01):
Of course, you can check out Nights of the Storm
Nights of Thestorm dot com and Angry Tiger there as well,
and with his Tiger and Snake report, Angry Tiger pointed out,
if we were really serious about growing the economy, just
get rid of the ridiculous number of regulations that are
on everything that make it impossible to actually run a business,
that make things much more difficult for everyone. Nights of

(02:32:24):
the Storm whatever happened to the promise of a postcard
sized tax form. Wasn't Trump going to simplify taxes? His
first term promises made promises. You should forget about them.
Just the auto industry alone could say of America, if
we could get rid of all the safety mandates and
efficiency requirements, a small, simple car produced here could be
a strong export. The sheer number of mandates on the

(02:32:47):
auto industry is ludicrous. The things they have to comply
with is a huge reason the cost of cars has
gone through the roof. You've got to comply with emissions mandate,
safety standards, all kinds of different things which may or
may not have any basis in reality. The emissions ones
shired out. Some of the safety standards are also made

(02:33:08):
up nonsense as well. Well, what if you can't handle
this exact scenario that doesn't ever really happen, Well, then sorry,
your car doesn't make it to market. This is from Newsweek.
Did Trump deliver democrats dream? Corporate tax experts way? And
the deep state keeps own rolling. It gets what it
wants under Trump, under Biden, under Obama, the same power

(02:33:35):
players are there, the faceless bureaucrats, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban,
a vocal critic of Donald Trump, started startled political observers
this week by urging Democrats to thank the President for
doing what they have never been able to do, impose
a revenue skim on two America's most profitable tech companies.
He said, Hey, at AOC, at Bernie Sanders, at Senator Schumer,

(02:33:56):
at Senator Warren, Every dem should be thinking at potus
for doing what the Demo have dreamed of doing but
have never been able to do. You've been posting on
X on August eleventh, He's going to generate corporate tax
revenue that you guys only wish you could pass, creating
a sales tax on two of the biggest semi companies
in the country. Of course, doing it by executive order

(02:34:19):
like a dictator would Funny how that goes me?

Speaker 4 (02:34:22):
How often you could say this, A, he's passing the
lockdown restrictions that you all wished you could pass for
so long, or hey, he's passing all these massive debt
increases that you've all wanted.

Speaker 3 (02:34:34):
It seems to be a way of life for Donald Trump.
It's almost like he's a New York Democrat. It's almost
like that isn't. It's almost like all the things he
says are simply lies to get his base fired up.
Gibben was referring to a new Trump administration deal requiring
the leading chip makers and VIDIA ANDAMD to pay the

(02:34:54):
US government fifteen percent of revenue from sales certain artificial
intelligence chips to a condition for receiving export licenses. And
of course this isn't. Companies will comply in the moment.
But if you think this is going to be something
they don't find a way around, you're crazy. Well, the

(02:35:15):
White House has avoided calling it a tax. Cuban labeled
it a billionaire sales tax and the ultimate wealth tax,
framing it as the kind of corporate levy progressives have
long advocated for but failed to deliver. And again, I
know I've mentioned this before, but part of the reason
that people tend to like Donald Trump is because people
like Mark Cuban are utterly insufferable. Every time you see

(02:35:38):
a video of him, he's a pompous fool, and he
has spent a lot of time criticizing Trump. So people
see that and go, well, I dislike Mark Cuban, and
as such, I like Trump. The whole you may know
a man by his enemies statement doesn't hold as much

(02:35:58):
water as it used to. The deal marks a sharp
departure from standard export control practices. Traditionally, companies apply for
export licenses without paying a percentage of their sales to
the government, but under this arrangement, the Commerce Department will
grant licenses for Nvidia's H twenty and AMD's MII three
zero nine chips lower performance versions of their top AI semiconductors,

(02:36:19):
tailored to meet prior US security restrictions, but under the
unusual conditions that the companies hand over fifteen percent of
revenues generated from those sales. Analysts estimate the policy could
generate up to three billion annually for the Treasury. That's
pocket change in the context of a seven trillion federal budget,
but significant in terms of precedent. He took fifteen percent

(02:36:41):
of equity from a company, Cuban wrote on x that
is the ultimate wealth tax, A progressive stream. Of course,
as I said, it's because, as my dad has said
for years, he's in New York, tax and spend democrat
all he is, that's all he ever was. This is

(02:37:03):
who he is at his heart. He's a pal of
the Clinton's. He's a pal of Epstein. He simply said
what was expedient to get himself elected because he knew
people would eat it up. He knew that the American
working class had been kicked and spit on for so
many years that if you were to even pay lip
service to them, they would rally behind you. You don't

(02:37:26):
necessarily have to accomplish anything for them if you simply
stand there and say, I'm going to do stuff, if
you promise things, if you actually pay attention to them,
they'll rally Because what's the other alternative, some other guy
that is actively telling you that you're the scum of
the earth, that you're the problem, that you're the reason
everything is awful. It makes sense. I know, I know

(02:37:53):
all of us here are no fans of Donald Trump,
that we all think he is a mass murderer base
on what he's done. However, when you look at it
in that context, it's easy to understand why people who
don't think about these things, who don't dive deeper, who
don't really pay attention to more than headlines, could rally

(02:38:14):
behind him, could vote for the man after what he did.
If they don't actually pay attention All they see is
a guy that is promising them a better life, saying,
you know what, You're not the problem. It's the same
sort of reason Andrew Tate is popular with young men.
It's and again I'm not saying this to justify their actions,

(02:38:37):
but if you don't understand why people do things, it's
hard to make them stop doing it. Cuban, who campaigned
for Vice President Kamala Harris in twenty twenty four, argue
that Democrats have been too dogmatic in pushing traditional tax
hikes instead of exploring unconventional leverage points. They are so
intent on income and wealth taxes on oligarchs. They have

(02:38:57):
no concept of leverage in business, he said, Trump does.
And of course Trump is continually growing government and setting
awful new precedents. Isn't that wonderful. He's got a unique mind.
He sees things in different ways. He's found interesting new
ways to create leverage on these companies.

Speaker 4 (02:39:18):
Look at all the policies that we've wanted to push
through for ages and weren't able to and Trump is
just pushing it all through, even though he's a Republican.
What a shock?

Speaker 3 (02:39:30):
How could it be that a Republican did this? For decades,
Democrats have pushed to make big corporations pay their fair
share through higher corporate tax rates, windfall profit taxes, and
even wealth taxes on billionaires, if those proposals rarely make
it through Congress, even when it's controlled by Democrats. The
twenty twenty two Inflation Reduction Act imposed a fifteen percent

(02:39:51):
minimum tax on large corporations book income, but more but
more ambitious corporate tax heights hikes have failed. This is
more progressive when it comes to taxation than anyone the
progressive wing of the Dems has ever been. The Dems
should be celebrating just how progressive it is. Cuban wrote
on X the irony or is it the plan? I

(02:40:13):
think it's the plan, and I'm sure most of you
would agree. This isn't ironic. It's what they wanted from
the start. Well, Cuban celebrated the Chip scheme is clever.
US Representative Rajah Krishna Morphy another good classic American family,
the Krishna Morthy's. Of course they were there at the

(02:40:35):
beginning with the founding fathers. We couldn't have done it
without them, and ask such it makes sense why he's
a US representative so it is a dangerous misstep. The
top democrat on the House China Select Committee told Newsweek
the administration was taking one of our most important national
security tools, export controls, and twisting them into a pay
to play scheme with no clear legal authority, congressional oversight,
or transparency. So business as usual. This is how things

(02:40:59):
are done. I don't understand this guy's acting like this
is something out of the blue, but this is just
how the government operates. They paid a place scheme with
no clear legal authority, congressional oversight, or transparency. Yeah, that's
just simply how it's done nowadays. Why is he complaining
this is everything that happens in Washington. It's one part

(02:41:21):
of the government doing something they're not supposed to with
no oversight or transparency for the others. You cannot treat
something as both a national security threat and a revenue
opportunity without signaling to Beijing that our principles and national
security are for sale. Well, they've been for sale to
China for years now. That's a known quantity. Of course.

(02:41:43):
Jared Cialente, when he's on has frequently talked about Bill
Clinton selling us out to China. They've sold us out
to China. They've sold us out to Israel. Basically, anyone
with enough money, if you come in and you have
the right amount of money and the right amount of influence,
they'll basically hand over or whatever you want. Oh, you're
gonna make me mega rich, and you're going to screw

(02:42:06):
over the American people. Well, good golly, where do I sign?
They can't sell out fast enough? Department attorney agreed the
arrangement is inconsistent with constitutional provisions. Oh now we're going
to start worrying about the Constitution. Really, this is when
we're going to care reserving taxing power to Congress and
prohibiting export duties. They're calling it a fee. Scissors added

(02:42:30):
plain language says fifteen percent of sales revenue is a tax.
And of course my dad pointed out Article one, Section nine,
clause five prohibits taxing exports. But they don't care. They
simply do not care. The Constitution is simply a piece

(02:42:53):
of paper and they choose to ignore it whenever possible.

Speaker 4 (02:42:57):
I think that's a bigger and a lot of people
are giving it credit for because it's pretty explicit in
how it bans it, Like you know, with say, for instance,
Obama with the birth certificate thing. You know, he had
to go through the big elaborate thing of pretending to
bend the knee to it. And there are other places

(02:43:18):
where they are going against very clearly written wordings.

Speaker 3 (02:43:22):
The Second Amendment always comes to mind anytime zone's like,
but the constitutions, like, look what they did with the
Second Amendment say shall not be infringed. It really couldn't
be plainer, but they just simply don't care.

Speaker 4 (02:43:32):
Yeah, but this is a whole new thing that has
never been infringed before. They're taking a clear thing and
without any like good excuse even, they're just going right
steamrolling right over the Constitution, going against what it explicitly.

Speaker 3 (02:43:50):
States to be. It's just a this is business as usual.
This is how things get done in Washington. Now, don't
let the content Institution. Why would the law of the
land stop you from doing anything. Whether this move remains
an isolated maneuver or signals a new model for extracting
corporate revenue could hinge on how the courts or Congress respond.

(02:44:12):
Critics like Kittrie note that Article one of the Constitution
prohibits export taxes and reserving reserves taxing authority for Congress,
which could make the fifteen percent revenue skin vulnerable to
legal challenges. But we'll probably see Congress roll over and
die on it. Most of the people in Congress are
probably jumping for joy. Oh man, he did it for us. Finally,

(02:44:34):
Article one, section nine prohibits the imposition of export taxes
or duties. As we read, fifteen percent arrangement would appear
to be exactly that. That's prohibited to both Congress and
the executive branch. Julian Chase, a trade law professor at
City University of Hong Kong, told Newsweek such a case

(02:44:55):
could attract multiple countries to join a wt World Trade
Organization challenge, framing it as a dangerous precedent for trying
to export licenses to revenue transfers. We'll wait and see
how that goes. I'm curious to see how it ends up.
If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I

(02:45:16):
would say Congress rolls over and dies. They're like, oh, well,
this is They'll roll someone out, they'll make a speech,
they'll say something about how it's an overreach of power
something or other, but then nothing will change. It'll stay
there and it'll live in perpetuity, nights of the storm.
People put a lot of emotion to Trump, and they

(02:45:38):
don't want to admit they were wrong. It's good money
after bad yeah, sunk cost fallacy. Well, you know, surely
he'll do something for us. I have voted for him twice.
He's got He's gonna hold up his end of the bargain.
He has to hi boost. I've said that for years.
I don't know why dim voters hate Trump. DEM. By dim,

(02:46:01):
he means DEM voters. He has done more to further
dim ideology than any other dim potus. You know, they're
all very dim. One of the things is that the
Marxist leftist ideology is a very grasping, cynical, stupid ideology.
It appears, it appeals very heavily to the sin nature

(02:46:23):
of man. It attracts the again, I don't want to
It attracts generally the worst members of society, the people
that want to steal and take and rob, people that
don't want to work. It's a very hard ideology to
combat because it appeals so heavily to the sin nature

(02:46:45):
of man. It's something that can very easily slot in
right there, what you mean, I'm entitled to this. I'm
entitled to that. You'll just use the government to take
this for me. Well, that sounds good to me. It's
a very difficult ideology to work against unless you have

(02:47:07):
a base of people that are morally grounded in scripture
in the Bible. This Trump tariff could increase America's trade deficit.
The article is about how Trump's tariff's on Switzerland could
increase America's trade deficit and the how Switzerland's nearly tariff

(02:47:27):
free trade with the US was disrupted by Trump's tariffs,
leading to a potential cancelation a thirty eight point three
billion F thirty five fighter jet order. This cancelation would
further exacerbate the trade deficit with Switzerland. What do we
are they are we importing that many cuckoo clocks in
that much chocolate? What is Switzerland export besides that? I'm

(02:47:47):
not too big on Swiss loar.

Speaker 4 (02:47:50):
What does America export besides from bombs and weapons and
fighter jets?

Speaker 3 (02:47:55):
Terrible, terrible influencers. They are a plague on the planet,
and we export them all over the world. So literally
everything that America sends to other countries is terrible and destructive.
Switzerland might respond to Trump's double digit reciprocal tariff by
canceling its multi billion dollar F thirty five order. And

(02:48:18):
of course, as Plants pointed out, what else do we
export besides bombs? What else is there if they cancel
the war orders? They don't have anything else they'd want
to buy. In July, Trump imposed a thirty nine percent
tariff on Switzerland. Of course, it was using the Navarro formula,

(02:48:39):
more than double the fifteen percent rate to which it's
European Union neighbors are subjected, making marking a sharp departure
from the American Swiss trading relationship. The terriffs went into
effect last week on August seventh. The average tariff rate
that the US subjected Swiss imports too was two point
twenty one percent in twenty twenty two, the most recent
year for which data are available, according to the World Bank,

(02:49:00):
Switzerland's average tariff rate on American goods was even lower,
a mere zero point five to two percent. In January
twenty twenty four, Switzerland abolished all industrial tariffs, resulting in
a ninety nine point three percent Amurrikan goods entering the
country tariff free. According to Switzerland State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.
But of course the MAGA media is still saying tariffs

(02:49:25):
didn't raise any prices. There's nothing going on. It's great.
Everything is great. Despite Switzerland's nearly completely las a fair
trading relationship with the US, Trump complained of a forty
one billion dollar deficit with Switzerland during an August fifth
interview on CNBC's squawk Box off the US Trade Representative.

(02:49:47):
The American Swiss goods deficit in twenty twenty four was
not quite that high, thirty eight point three billion. However,
this figure excludes trade services between two countries, which accounted
for a trade surplus of twenty nine point seven billion
in favor of America. The total trade deficit then was
approximately eight point six billion, or twenty one percent of
Trump's inflated claim. Of course, Trump and Navarro can't do math,

(02:50:11):
They can't figure this stuff out. His policies have made
his deficit worse since he took office in January. US
SINSUS Bureau data shows a nearly forty eight billion goods
deficit with Switzerland accumulated from January to June, three hundred
and ninety percent greater than the January twenty twenty four
to June twenty twenty four deficit of nine point eight billion.

(02:50:33):
By introducing volatility in global markets, Trump is partially responsible
for widening the deficit in goods trade with Switzerland. The
New York Times reports that surging demand for gold in
the United States is mister Trump threaten to do up
in the global trading order fueled a spike in Swiss
gold imports. Ah ah, so that's what we're importing from Switzerland. Gold.
So it's not just chocolate and cuckoo clocks. That makes

(02:50:56):
all the sense in the world, of course, being facetious,
Politico reports that Swiss lawmakers are considering canceling the country's
orders of thirty six F thirty five fighter jets, which
would widen the goods deficit further. Switzerland entered the six
billion franc seven point five billion dollar deal in twenty
twenty one, but was told by the US in July

(02:51:18):
the additional costs to the original price tag will range
between ch F six fifty HF six to fifty million,
eight hundred five million dollars INHF one point three billion,
one point six billion dollars due to higher material costs
and inflation. According to Swissinfo dot ch Biddingly enough, these

(02:51:40):
higher material costs are partially attributable to Trump's tariffs, which
he imposed on countries that export F thirty five components
to the US, like the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, Italy,
Denmark and Norway. Trub exacerbated the trade deficit with Switzerland
by unintentionally encouraging Americans to hedge again against economic instability

(02:52:01):
with Swiss gold. Trump's thirty nine percent tariffs against Switzerland
may very well increase the very deficit he seeks to
reduce if Swiss lawmakers reduce or cancel their multi billion
dollar IF thirty five deal. And this was from Reason magazine.
This is our leader, this is our wonderful president. And

(02:52:23):
acting as an economic policy is the guy who's bankrupt
casinos before. This is who is calling the shots. So
isn't that wonderful? Isn't that just grand? We get the
economic policies of a man who couldn't even keep casinos
up and running. That's who we're dealing with. We're gonna

(02:52:44):
take a quick break. We don't have much time left,
but I do need some water. We're gonna look at
what's going on with Ukraine in the few minutes that
we have left, Searing Girls says Trump's trade deficit mathematics
are a dramatic example of why central planning will never work.
There is no one person that is smart enough to
plan the economy. There's no one person that can keep

(02:53:04):
track of all the moving parts. It is simply impossible.
As hearing Girl is right, and she points out, this
really is a dramatic example, and we're gonna keep feeling
the ripple effects from this for a long time. Stay
with us, folks, we will be right.

Speaker 2 (02:53:21):
Back making sense common again. You're listening to the Day

(02:55:00):
a Night Show.

Speaker 3 (02:55:05):
Welcome back, folks. In a few minutes you've got left,
we'll take a little bit of a look at Ukraine.
But I do want to again thank Tony for hosting
on Friday. As I said, we're going to be redoing
the studio and that should mean that's starting Monday, David
will be back, will be back in studio. I'll be
side chair, probably making snarky comments while he does all

(02:55:26):
the real work. I'm excited to once again turn my
brain off and be nothing but comic relief. That's that's
what I'm aiming for exactly. I'm planning on coasting after this, folks.
But David will be back on Monday. That's the goal,
once we get the studio worked out, So be excited

(02:55:47):
for that. He will be back and you'll get the
insightful commentary that he is wonderful at providing. Cannot wait,
even if it means tearing this rat's nest wires down
and reordering everything. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to have
Lance make. I'm excited to sit around and direct him

(02:56:08):
on where to put things and not contribute in any
meaningful fashion as the studio gets rebuilt. That is my
goal here. But be excited for Monday. He'll be back,
and I know I'm excited for it. But let's take
a brief look at Ukraine in a little bit of
time we've got left. Trump warns of severe consequences if
Russia doesn't stop Ukraine war after Putin meeting. There will

(02:56:30):
be severe consequences. The consequences have never been more severe.

Speaker 2 (02:56:33):
Putin.

Speaker 3 (02:56:34):
I promise they're going to be severe, very severe consequences.

Speaker 2 (02:56:36):
Putin.

Speaker 3 (02:56:40):
Does he really think he's like a child that he
can just scold like? There will be consequences, young man.
They're going to be severe. You're going to be putting
time out Putin. Selensky's warned Trump and European leaders that
Putin is bluffing to pressure Ukraine before the Alaska summit
amid intensified Russian advances, with sixty nine percent of Ukrainians
favoring to go siations. Trump spoke at the Kennedy Center

(02:57:02):
in Washington on August thirteenth, twenty twenty five, warning of
very severe consequences of Putin does not cease the Ukraine war,
far cry of his promise of day one ending the conflicts.
Kiev planning false flag attack at a Trump Putin's summit.
This is from RT. Russia's Ministry of Defense. Is alleged

(02:57:24):
that the Ukrainian government is preparing a high profile provocation
intended to derail the upcoming summit between Russian President Vladimir
Putin and his US counterpart. According to Moscow, the plan
involves staging an attack in a front line city and
blaming it on Russian forces in order to create damaging
international media narratives. On April first, twenty twenty two, the

(02:57:48):
Zelensky government accused the Russian military massacring civilians in the
town of Buka near Kiev. So it's kind of an
April fools prank. Huh, Well, this is how things are
done in this state. It's not enough to simply wage war.
You gotta have some false flags thrown in there as well.
So we'll wait and see what happens. I don't expect
much from this summit, As I've said, if Zelenski is

(02:58:10):
not at the table, what can Trump and Putin really
hash out. Unless Trump agrees to stop sending munitions and
arms to Ukraine, then it means nothing. And I don't
think they're going to do that. I don't think there's
any chance Trump is going to stop that money machine.

(02:58:30):
Zelenski is enriching himself, his wife gets to go to
the French riviera as more Ukrainians bleed out and die
on the battlefield. And of course that's the way these
wars always end up playing out, aren't they. A few
people get massively wealthy and the people of the country suffer,
and it is a terrible thing to see. We've seen

(02:58:51):
it play out in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our soldiers come
back damaged and broken, their countries were destroyed, and for
what for what? Guard Goldsmith says the BUCA false flag
was shocking, literally killing their own people. These people are monsters.
Zelenski is a monster the people. He has surrounded himself

(02:59:13):
with our monsters. Our governments are filled with them. They
are completely and utterly unlike us. They have no shared values.
They will kill their own people, they will poison them
with vaccines. And that's how they continue to get away
with it because we ascribe to them some level of humanity.

(02:59:34):
Surely they're not so unlike as Surely they wouldn't do
this because I would never do this, but they would.
As I said, Tony will be hosting the show tomorrow,
so tune in for that. God bless you all. We
will be back Monday. David Knight will be in studio.
Thank you for tuning in. Have a great rest of

(02:59:55):
your week. The common Man.

Speaker 9 (03:00:09):
They created common Core and dumb down our children. They
created common past track and control us. They're Commons project
to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But

(03:00:30):
each of us has worth and dignity created in the
image of God. That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away. Their most
powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
everything about us, while they hide everything from us.

Speaker 2 (03:00:52):
It's time to turn that around.

Speaker 3 (03:00:54):
And expose what they want to hide.
