Speaker 1 (00:29):
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As a clock
strikes thirteen, it's Monday, the twenty seventh of October. You're
of our Lord, twenty twenty five. Well, over the weekend,
(00:50):
we had Donald Trump decide that he's going to punish
Canada for an AD and again it'll only underscores is.
I tweeted out how much this guy hates free speech.
You disagree with him, he's going to shut you down,
just like Ursula fond of lying. And of course he
doesn't like debates. We saw that when he was running
(01:12):
for president. He dodged them all. Don't want to have
any questions about that. Well, he then moved to say
that the ad was lie and the same way that
La La Harris's CBS interview sixty minutes was supposedly a lie,
it's not. And we're going to have a debate today
(01:33):
between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. I wonder who will win.
And we're also going to take a look. Soy Boy
Besant was on the Sunday talk shows and he was
asked about what is being done to the farmers, and
of course this guy said, I'm a soybean farmer myself. Yeah,
(01:54):
the same way that Bill Gates is, We'll be right back,
stay with us. Well, Trump had another tariff tantrum this time.
This is the way he does his policy. It just
(02:15):
shows that this is not about economics. This is not
about even picking a particular industry and helping it to
succeed by giving it protectionism, helping it to succeed temporarily.
I should say no, this is simply about his ego
and his tantrums. And so he saw an ad he
(02:36):
didn't like, and so he broke off negotiations with Canada.
You know, the people they give us all of our fentannel.
And so he said that this ad is fake. It
says it's not fake. His lies are fake. And so
he broke it off and said ten percent here, you know,
just like he got angry with China a couple of
(02:57):
weeks ago and he jacked it up to hundred percent.
But he had gotten angry with him once before and
jacked it up to one hundred and forty percent. It's
taco time again. Trump escalated his trade war with Canada Saturday,
announcing a ten percent hike on Terraff after blasting Ontario's
anti tariff ad campaign as fraudulent and accusing the US
(03:19):
neighbor of misusing Ronald Reagan's legacy. Did you realize that
that is a crime in the US code? Well, no,
actually it isn't. He just makes this stuff up because
he's the dictator, right the law comes out of his mouth,
and so that's a crime right there. So he said
Canada had been caught red handed using selective audio and
(03:40):
video of Reagan's nineteen eighty seven radio address an absolute lie.
Trump is lying up one side and down the other,
and he knows that his supporters will support him in
that because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and
because of this hostile act of free speech, I am
(04:01):
increasing the tariff on Canada by ten percent over and
above what they are paying. Now. I guess that's one
of the things that bothers me the most, is his
reflexive hatred of free speech. It's criticism of him. We've
seen the same thing for Israel, and now this is
him doing this as well. Don't criticize the state of Israel,
(04:21):
or you know, we will do things to you. But
take away the gravy train from the federal government, which
I'm not in favor of the gravy train. Nevertheless, I'm
not in favor of a petulant tyrant who capriciously and
arbitrarily sets terif rates and lowers them, raises him on
a whim, and does it all because he can't handle speech.
(04:42):
If you can't handle it, get out of the arena.
You're a gladiator who whines whenever he's it's just amazing,
you know, get your shields up. Trump is nothing other
than the North Korea style tyrant. You can't handle the criticism,
and he can't and he won't. And again, at the
bottom of this, who cares what Reagan said about tariffs?
(05:06):
Is he the final standard on all of this? Seems
to me like the Constitution should be. But you know,
this is an economic issue. What Trump does not want
to have is a contest between him and Reagan, because
then it shows that Trump is a Rhino, a New
York City Democrat, tax and spend democrat who hates the
(05:28):
Constitution of the Bill of Rights, and so that's the
real issue. He doesn't want to be pitted against Reagan,
so he lies about all this. So this is the
radio address to the nation on fair and free trade
from Ronald Reagan. I'll read from it, and then i'll
play you the commercial and see if you think that
(05:48):
it was a misrepresentation. So he says that the Prime
Minister of Japan will be visiting him at the White
House in the next week. It's important because we're going
to take up our relations. And we've just had tariffs
and other issues with Japan. And here's why. As perhaps
you've heard, last week, I placed new duties on some
Japanese products, some in response to Japan's inability to enforce
(06:11):
their trade agreement with US on electronic devices called semiconductors. Now,
imposing each tariff. Now, imposing such tariffs on trade barriers
and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am
loath to take. In a moment, I'll mention the sound
economic reasons for this. Over long run, such trade barriers
(06:32):
hurt every American worker and consumer. But the Japanese semiconductors
were a special case. So let me ask you, as
he liked tariffs, does he think they're the best way
to run the country's tax system? Again, unlike Trump, Reagan
did not like taxes, and so what he's saying is
I don't like trade barriers. But the issue is is
(06:55):
that we had an agreement and they violate this agreement
on this specific thing. Trump's tariffs are not focused on
any industry or any agreement. They're just weaponized against the world.
He's just trying to pick fights with the entire world.
So these terrorifts were specific, they're targeted. It is not
what Trump does. He says, but you know, opposing these
(07:18):
terrorists are just trying to deal with a particular problem.
Not began a trade war, says Ronald Reagan. And yet
that is exactly what Trump is trying to do. Trump
wants not just chaos in America, he wants global chaos.
He is the number one Manchurian candidate for the globalist
(07:39):
So he says, we're doing this because we feel that
both Japan and the US have an obligation to promote
the prosperity and economic development that only free trade can bring. So,
in other words, we impose these as a negotiating tactic
because we want them to stop what we consider to
be a violation of the agreement and unfair trade practic.
(08:00):
That says we want to get back to a free
trade agreement. That's what Ronald Reagan was saying, and Trump
is saying just the opposite. The other thing that Trump
is doing is, he says, at the same time he says,
Reagan loved tariffs. He says that, and then later on
(08:20):
he says, well, I wasn't fond of Reagan's tariff policies
and his economic policies. I really liked Reagan. You know,
he's got to praise Reagan, just like the people when
the cattleman talked to Trump, They've got to praise him
and flatter him. But you know, he comes right back
to the cattleman and said, you're nothing. You didn't build that.
(08:41):
I built it. He sounds exactly like Obama. You'd be
nothing if it wasn't for me, He says to the cattleman.
This is the Eric. This is why I said Trump
is a Democrat. He's a Clinton Democrat, complete with the
accouterments of Jeffrey Epstein. So Reagan goes on. He says,
(09:02):
the message of free trade is when I conveyed to
Canada's leaders a few weeks ago, it was warmly received there. Indeed,
throughout the world, there is a growing realization that the
way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation
and promoting fair and free competition. Says, you see when
(09:24):
someone says, let's impose terrorists on foreign imports, it looks
like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products
and jobs. And on another occasion, and I've got this
in the clip that I put together of Trump versus Reagan,
on another occasion, he says, sheer demagogery, demagogue Trump. He says,
(09:46):
they'll come wrapping himself in the flag. And we've literally
seen Trump literally wrap himself in the flag and kiss it. Well,
you can kiss the Constitution goodbye with this guy. He
finishes up by saying he talks about how he believed
that the Smoot Holly tariffs acts exacerbated the depression. He said,
(10:10):
in the memory of all this, because he was alive
when that happened in the nineteen thirties, all this occurring
back in the thirties made me determined when I came
to Washington, to spare the American people the protectionist legislation
that destroys prosperity. And then he attacks the Democrats in Congress.
The Democrats like Trump who want tariffs. So here is
(10:34):
the debate, Reagan debating Trump. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They cheated on a commercial. Coronald Reagan loved tariffs and
they said he didn't, and I guess it was ai Or.
They cheated badly. Canaday got cought cheated on a commercial.
Can you believe it? They cheated on a commercial. Toronald
Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't, and I
(10:58):
guess it was ai Or. So they cheated badly.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Canada got They did not love tariffs.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
America does not fear free trade because the American people
can produce and compete on a par with anybody in
the world.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Frankly, Ronald Reagan, you remember, I didn't love his I
thought he was great.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I loved his style, his attitude.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He was a great cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
For our you know, for the country, but not great
on the trade.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm a huge fan of Ronald Reagan, but he was
bad on trade, very bad on trade.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
But didn't he loved tariffs.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
This is the actual radio dresses.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to
declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy,
on national security and the entire free world, all while
cynically waving the American flag. The expansion of the international
economy is not a foreign invasion. It is an American triumph,
(11:56):
one we worked hard to achieve, and something central to
our vision of a peaceful and prosperous world of freedom.
After the Second World War, America led the way to
dismantle trade barriers and create a world trading system that
set the stage for decades of unparalleled economic growth. Yes,
back in seventeen seventy six, our founding fathers believe that
(12:19):
free trade was worth fighting for, and we can celebrate
their victory because today trade is at the core of
the alliance that secure the peace and guarantee our freedom.
It is the source of our prosperity and the path
to an even brighter future for America. Until next week,
(12:39):
Thanks for listening, and God bless you.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But I can play dirtier than they can. Well, you
know it's a crooked ad. I heard he's airing it Canada.
That's why I pulled everything in Canada. They wrote they
did a crooked ad. They know Ronald Reagan love.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Make up your mind.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I heard they were pulling the end. I didn't know
they were putting it on a.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Little bit more.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
They could have pulled it tonight. Well that's dirty playing.
But I can play dirtier.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
That they can.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready
to declare a trade war against our.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Friends, weakening our life, Trump on national.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Security and the entire free world, all while cynically waving
the American flag.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, a little puppet, little puppet, this bone the strings, right,
a little Pinocchio puppets. They played dirty, I can play
dirty too. I'm gonna throw some diaper stuff at him. Yeah,
that's right. Well I'll play actual. This is the ad
that Canada put together. And you look at it after
(13:49):
I've told you what Reagan said, and you've seen the
quips on his radio address, and and you know what
his policies were, and you know what Trump's policies are.
Is this a dishonest ad?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it
looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American
products and jobs. And sometimes for a short violent works,
but only for a short time, but over the long run,
such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. High
(14:27):
tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the
triggering of fierce trade wars.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Then the worst happens.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Market shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Of people lose their jobs.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the weight
of prosperity for aign nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and
promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are
at stake.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And they're exactly right. As Reagan said, the founder has
understood that. You know, they talked about having peace and trade,
not entangling alliances in Europe. We need to get out
of NATO. We need to get out of these tariffs
and sanctions that are destroying not only our economy and
other economies, but it's also destroying the dollar system that
(15:23):
has been their superpower, their ability to be able to
just conjure up dollar signs everywhere and pay for everything.
They're destroying. Even that it is a whether it's planned
or not, it is a suicide move. Even for Washington.
It makes no sense. Trump said he's slapping an additional
(15:45):
ten percent tariff on Canada after the government of Ontario
ran what he said was a fraudulent TV advertisement. Again,
this is very much like his punishment for criticizing anti
Netanyahu speech. And it's also very much like his lawsuit
against CBS sixty minutes over the La La Harris interview.
(16:10):
And again they put out the entire interview so that
people could see that there was absolutely nothing there. Trump
got a large settlement from them, personally millions or tens
of millions of dollars, because the owner of CBS wanted
to sell, and because Trump was using the government in
a corrupt way to hold up that cell so he
(16:31):
could coerce them into settling with him for his own
personal benefit. He has done so many things in this
what is it now nine months of office that he
ought to be genuinely impeached for. It's just it would
be a long, long rap sheet if you were to
put this out. Yeah, they came against them with impeachment
(16:52):
charges over nonsense. This time. These are all very substantive,
very important things that he needs to be impeached for.
Beginning with corruption. The sole purpose he said of this
fraud he puts it into all p cases was Canada's
hope that the US Supreme Court will come to their
rescue on Terraffs, Well, he is the fraud, he is
(17:13):
the liar, he is the tyrant because of their serious
misrepresentation of the facts and this hostile act. Are we
talking about projection here? The person who's misrepresenting the facts,
who can't make up his mind whether Reagan loved teriffs
or was wrong on Terraffs. And the person who just
arbitrarily and capriciously slaps ten percent on the entire country
(17:35):
because he doesn't like an ad that was done locally
in Ontario. He says, I'm increasing the tariff on Canada
by ten percent over and above what they're paying now,
A petulant tyrant. Exactly why we should not have one
person make these decisions. That's not the system that the
founders left us. And so as all of that is happening,
(17:58):
you've got people falling in love ting to defend Trump.
And as a matter of fact, I think this AI speech,
it's basically it's not somebody talking with a guy Fox
mask on. They've animated the guy Fox mask to match
the speech. And you listen to this, and I'm absolutely
certain this is done by some government bought for Trump.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
They thought they could get away with it. They thought
no one would notice the government of Canada specifically.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You thought you could lie about what Reagan's had did.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
His voice, his image, and his words and twisted them.
They sliced together pieces of his nineteen eighty seven address,
turned it into an anti tariff message and broadcasted internationally
without permission from the Reagan Foundation or the Reagan family.
That's not free speech. They don't need that. It's public propaganda.
(18:50):
It was a deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion, to undermine.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It, and doing this and using the Guy Fox mask,
it is a deliberate deceptive opinion. They are not anti establishment.
These are people the most establishment operation aimed at the
American people. Yeah, this discuss me. This is where we are.
This is where the dishonest Trump administration is. They got
and say, well, let's be cool, let's animate a Guy
Fawkes mask and will look like we're anti establishment. As
(19:17):
you I read you the speech parts of it. Of course,
you know when you go and do a one minute ad,
you're going to have to edit it. And that ad
was not edited deceptively, It made the points that Ronald
Reagan was making. It didn't go into all the detail
that he had about the negative effects of protectionism on
(19:38):
war and global economy and our own economy, but it
was very honest in terms of representing Ronald Reagan. And
they keep falling back on that because you know, when
you look at these guys, this is now what MAGA
has turned into. This is a cartoon Ronald Reagan at
a coffee shop having a cup of coffee and the
(20:00):
red headed MAGA guys and they look like a bunch
of communists now that they've got their uniforms and their
red hats, saying this is modern conservatism where Reagan is
a kami and Putin is the hero. Yeah, that pretty
much sums it up, doesn't it. So Reagan and the
ad said that terrace may seem patriotic, ultimately they hurt
(20:24):
every American worker and consumer and inevitably lead to retaliation
from foreign trade partners. And again he also said demagogues
will wave them, wave the flag, wrap themselves in it
while they're doing it. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Institute
pushback on this ad, and again you can see the
(20:45):
ad yourself, and there was a comedian notes on there, saying, yes,
this is honest. This is exactly the way that Reagan
framed the debate. And yet the Reagan Presidential Foundation institution,
it's just like the rest of the GOP. They've become fearful,
sickophants of this lying president. They've lost their principles, They
(21:09):
have no spine, They've just become functionaries. The Reagan Presidential
Library no different from Mike Johnson and the little Mouse
people like him. The Reagan Foundation said the ad relied
on selective audio of the ex president. Anytime you edit something,
(21:30):
you're going to have to necessarily cut things out. It's
still does it change the meaning or you just have
to cut this down from a ten minute speech to
a one minute speech? It's ridiculous. Again, Trump set that
precedent in that lawsuit with CBS sixty minutes. It's important
(21:50):
when Trump does this stuff. It's not just that it's corrupt.
It's not just that he weaponized the government so he
could win a personal lawsuit. But he's lying, and he's
set this precedent that well, if you edit anything, even
if we give you the full audio or video afterwards,
then I'm still going to come after you because you
did some editing. This is beyond ridiculous. This is a
(22:14):
contempt for free speech, contempt for the free press, and
fear of debate, which nobody embodies this more than Trump.
I've never seen presidential election since they started doing these
debates where you had an incumbent dodge every single debate.
And that's true of both Biden and Trump. These guys
(22:36):
just can't debate. They had one with each other. But
you can see why they would dodge it. All trade
negotiations with Canada hereby terminated all upper case. The ten
percent tariff hike adds to the thirty five percent broad
tariff on most Canadian goods and industries like steel and
auto parts, and that's going to hurt us as well. Again,
(23:00):
and you know, people in America, we're not that vertically
integrated that we have everything. You can say that's something
we should aspire to. Okay, fine, except that's not the reality.
So you don't just cut everything off and then tell
people to, you know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
So they already have a twenty five percent tariff in place,
(23:21):
and there is also a ten percent tariff on Canadian lumber.
So now this is just across the board in a
tariff tantrum because he doesn't like the ad because the
ad was a bit too on the point, and honest,
I guess they could say that they were over the target.
Trump has said that tariffs have been a key negotiating
tool for him since returning to the White House earlier
(23:42):
this year. Yeah, it is bringing chaos to the global
economy because it's not just that he can't make up
his mind. The way he's doing this as a negotiating
tool is the actually the dumbest aspect of his tariffs
that there is. He'll be defended on that. Well, you know,
he's just using that as a negotiating tool. Then he
pulls it off. Yeah, but the net result of that
is to make even more chaos and every single industry.
(24:05):
As I said about the farmers, they're complaining. They said,
we need to have a stable environment, we need to
know what the prices are going to be. And as
I said last week, that's the entire reason why they
created the Chicago Board a trade and he is single
handedly destroying all of that. Nobody knows what anything is
going to be because it's all up for grabs and
negotiations and it's all a taco So he always chickens out.
(24:31):
He's spending and blowing the economic power that he has,
just like Biden did. Yeah. Trump says they cheated on
a commercial, and another person put this as a Republicans
against Trump. Trump, they cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan
loved terraces and they said he didn't. It was AI
or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on
(24:52):
a commercial and they said Trump is lying. The ad
used as Reagan audio of him speaking against terraces, and
they have a link to it. But here's the issue.
Even if they did a bad commercial, is that grounds
for some dictator to arbitrarily impose these tariffs? No, it
isn't just like the issue with the drug stuff. If
(25:14):
those people were doing drugs, if they were transporting drugs,
there is still no justification for killing them first without
due process. There's not even a law that makes what
they're being killed for doing. There's not even a law
that says that that is a death penalty if you
gave them due process. This is the way he operates. Now.
This is what I said on Twitter. I said the
(25:37):
Trump tariff tantrum against Canada shows his contempt for free speech.
The fact that he continually retaliates against countries using teriffs
shows that this is not about economics, and it's not
about trade. It's about his tantrums. He won't or he
can't debate, as we saw during his campaign. You're right,
(25:59):
you shouldn't fear bait or have to resort to censorship.
If you're right, the ad was not deceptive. Trump's lies
are deceptive, ron Smith said. Trump says Candada cheated on
the commercials and lies that Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. He
says the original video of Ronald Reagan is probably AI.
(26:19):
The man has overstayed his welcome twenty fifth Amendment time. Well,
I don't think that he's incompetent mentally for the twenty
fifth Amendment, but I do think that he ought to
be impeached over and over again. The guy is a criminal.
He is. The crimes that he's committed, quite frankly, are
(26:43):
much worse than the crime of coming across the border.
We should deport him. Round this guy up is far
more consequential. And of course he's keeping in place the
programs that pay the people who come ACROS supporter as well.
Trump says, Reagan love tariffs and they used the eye
(27:05):
to make him but they didn't. Let's not become immune
to how easily and blatantly Trump lies. That's absolutely true. Well, again,
I've said most of this. It was local government of
the province of Ontario, and Trump got really upset about
(27:27):
it because they continued to play the ad through the
World Series. That's why he considered it to be a
hostile act. Maybe he should ask himself why Canadians are
booing American teams in hockey, for example? Why is that
happening That's never happened before him? Because of their serious
(27:49):
misrepresentation of the facts, he said, and a hostile act.
The tariffs are the hostile act, the misrepresentation of the
facts of what Trump is saying it was. Ontario Premier
Doug Ford said that the ad campaign be put on
hold starting Monday so that trade talks can resume. He said,
(28:11):
our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the
kind of economy that Americans want to build in the
impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. I guess we've
achieved our goal having reached us audiences at the highest level.
Again the stress side effect. Trump can't handle debates, right.
(28:32):
You want the truth, he can't handle it. He can't
held the truth. Mister Trump claimed that Ontario officials had
indicated the ad was to be taken down immediately, and
they didn't take it down immediately. They put it on
during the World Series game. The president claimed Ontario's government
allowed the ad to run on Friday during the World
Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the LA Dodgers,
(28:54):
knowing that it was a fraud, he said. In an
interview with Facination on Sunday, Bessant accused the Province of
Ontario of spending up to seventy five million dollars on
the ads, calling it propaganda. You could say that about
any political ad that you disagree with. You're going to
call it propaganda, or you're going to call it hate speech,
(29:16):
or you're going to call it faults or whatever. We've
always had the situation where the answer to that is
not censorship, but the answer is more debate. Over the summer,
Trump hiked tariffs from the country thirty eight percent. The
large share of goods are exempt because they're covered under
Trump's own USMCA agreement and March, Canada imposed twenty five
(29:40):
percent retaliatory tariffs on many US products not covered by
the USMCA, But in August, as part of the efforts
to reach a deal on tariffs, Canadian Prime Minister Carney
said those retaliation tariffs are being lifted. The two nations
have yet to reach a deal. So this is Bessent
(30:04):
talking about the Canadian ad when he was asked about
on the Sunday shows Meet the Press he was on.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
This week, President Trump abruptly broke off trade talks with
Canada and put another ten percent tariff on Canada in
response to an ad that the government of Ontario ran.
It features former President Ronald Reagan. Why is the president
setting trade policy based on a television ad he doesn't like?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Exactly right?
Speaker 10 (30:34):
Well, Kristen, let's think about this. This is a kind
of propaganda against US citizens. It's speech, it's psyops. Why
would the government of Ontario, I'm told that they've spent
the PSIO planning to spend up to seventy five million
dollars on these ads to come across the US border.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
So what was the purpose of that other.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Than to sway public opinion, and you know it's some
kind of propaganda that the premiere of Ontario.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
It's actually true.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Will the ten percent tariff supply to all Canadian goods?
Mister Secretary.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
Kristina, I've been traveling since this unfortunate event.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Christen, I don't know, because this is all just in
the mind of Trump.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Will have to see.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
But there's no debate, there's no discussion.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
About this terrible judgment.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He didn't ask me the Treasury secretary.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
You know who has a bit of a reputation for
being a hothead.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's sun President. I guess, yeah, why is the president
setting trade policy based on a TV ad? He doesn't
like again, that kind of childish behavior. It really hurt
his ego to have somebody show that Ronald Reagan thought
he was a demagogue. Ronald Reagan described Donald Trump to
a t forty years ago. You knew exactly how this
(31:58):
kind of tyranny would become a to America. How dare
them do a siop against us, pitying Reagan against Trump? Well,
it's not difficult to do, and it was true, and
he just shows what a shill he is. You know,
every time something happens Conservatives Maga. Conservatives are always seeing
(32:20):
George Soros everywhere. He's the Moriarty of the left right.
He's got his tentacles out there, just like Sherlock Holmes's nemesis.
And every time it's always so Soro Soros. Do you
realize that this guy broke the Bank of England, Scott
Bessen did with George Soros, that he worked for George Soros,
that he got involved in the various things, and that
(32:42):
he is a liar, a scammer, and a Soros partner.
And yet Maga doesn't care. It's another example of the
double think that they're capable of engaging in. They really
can't put two and two together or will not put
it together when it's right in front of their face.
So again, he doesn't know what's going to happen because
(33:05):
it's only you know, the whims of his president. Who
knows Trump is making this up as he goes along,
is what he should say, right, And so again Ronald
Reagan loved tariffs, said said Trump such a liar. He
just can't keep Most liars can't keep their stories straight.
(33:25):
That's how they get caught. Right. So Ronald Reagan loved
tariffs and yet Ronald Reagan was wrong when he opposed tariffs.
You're supposed to hold both of those contradictory statements true
at the same time, and Maga is great at doing that.
They are the big problem. And then you've got the
guy who is actually advising him on this stuff. Peter
(33:46):
Navarro right, who also the trade advisor to Trump, repeatedly
cited a fictional expert named ron Vara, which is an
anagram of his own last name and his books in
order to support arguments for protectionist trade policies and tariffs.
Who is Peter Navarrow? That's right. He was a lifelong
(34:07):
Democrat like Trump, who had run for office. Unlike Trump,
he failed multiple times. So Trump, the New York City Democrat,
puts in Peter Navarrow, the California Democrat, who is who
loves protectionist tariffs just like the Democrats of Ronald Reagan's
day did. Puts him into craft the so called reciprocal
(34:29):
Trade Acts, which was the biggest bunch of nonsense equation
you've ever seen your life, coming up of these numbers
that came up with. He is dumber than a sack
of bricks. So Peter Navarro is expert citing.
Speaker 11 (34:46):
A person that doesn't exist named after yourself. It's a
very hunter s Thompson sort of. You know we've got
Trump Gonzo world trade going on.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, well yeah, Trump did that.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
Trump called there's someone saying it who well, I mean
it me, but you know someone's saying it.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Trump called in to a radio station. They got the
tape where he's praising himself and saying that he's somebody
else and he's praising himself. It's exactly what Peter Navarro did.
So the kind of birds of a feather, just like
Trump and Epstein. So he's taking a victory lap because
he said he's going to have an agreement with China.
We'll see about that. We'll see about that. And we
(35:24):
had a lot of agreements, but again they never last.
Nobody can trust him to continue. We got some comments here, Travis.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
Steve Ebb says Trump is an ego. I know you
wouldn't know it to look at him. You got to
observe him long and hard before you can really see it.
Steve ev says the East Wing is gone, making room
for the elite's ballroom. I don't know the elites had balls.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I'm afraid.
Speaker 12 (35:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
The interesting thing about that too is if you look
at the pictures of how big this thing is going
to be. You know, you have the White House, which
is fifty five thousand and square feet and it's got
an east wing and a west wing. We're going to
eliminate the east wing, and he's going to build this
ballroom is going to be ninety five thousand square fet.
It's almost twice as big as the entire White House.
It's going to dominate the picture. You know, it's going
(36:13):
to be the Trump White House will be a vacuous ballroom.
How fitting.
Speaker 11 (36:20):
Think of the sockhops they can have, right Nibru twenty
twenty nine. Reagan may have claim to not like taxes,
but he shared like growing the federal government to blow
a proportions.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah, I'm not such a fan of Reagan. I mean Reagan.
What Reagan did with the drug war was just horrific.
Speaker 11 (36:36):
He also promised to stop the Department of Education. Never
did that, That's right.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, that's right. He never did, never shut that down.
And as we talked to Maytimes, Charles Izerbee and Phil Schlafley,
they were very disappointed in Reagan for backing off on that,
and you know, ron Paul was one of the first
people to endorse Reagan. He endorsed him in seventy six
against Gerald Ford, who wound up getting the nomination. And
he was the earliest and strongest supporter of Ronald Reagan
(37:04):
because of what Ronald Reagan said. There's a difference between
what somebody says and what they do, and that was
especially true of Ronald Reagan. And before Reagan left office,
ron Paul left the Republican Party and resigned, and he
quoted you talked about how Reagan had exploded the deficit.
I find what Reagan did with his Attorney General Ed
(37:26):
Mess in terms of the war on drugs, I think
was one of the worst legacies of Reagan. But of
course you also had the Iran Contra affair. His campaign
manager was wild Bill of the CIA, who set up
the whole thing with Iran Contra and extended the captivity
of the people there at the embassy that was taken over.
(37:48):
He had negotiations with Iran before the election and negotiated
with them that not only would they not release the
prisoners before the election, but they would not release the
until Ronald Reagan was sworn in, so this CIA should creep,
while Bill Casey was the one who masterminded all of
(38:10):
this iron contraus stuff and extended the incarceration of these
people in the embassy. Truly contemptible. And again I'm not
saying that Reagan was right. And I, as you know,
I have said in the past that if we're going
to have taxes, I would rather have a tariff tax,
which is like a sales tax, rather than an income tax. However,
(38:34):
it needs to be stable. Can you imagine if the
income tax rates were just fluctuating on a daily basis,
how could anybody do business if all the taxes are
constantly changing like that. The issue is the fact that
Trump doesn't have a strategy, he doesn't have a number
in mind. It is all subject to his whims and
(38:54):
his arbitrary, capricious manipulation, and that is disastrous center of itself.
Not only that, but the tariff is a tax that
has been added, not replacing the income tax, So all
that argument was out the window. But of course the
MACA people still foolishly believe that the income tax is
going to go away. It's not going to go away.
(39:16):
He's telling them, I'm making those tax cuts permanent. Well,
you can't make the tax cuts permanent if you don't
make the income tax permanent. But they can't put one
and one together. Two plus two equals five for these people.
Go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (39:29):
It's also amazing that Trump is actually making the tariffs
look much worse than they actually are with his extremely
inconsistent and random application of it without any direct targeting
at a particular industry or product that could actually be
(39:50):
manufactured in the US. As an alternative, if anything, I
would say Reagan should have done more with the tariffs
instead of the taxes that we have now. I think
of all forms of taxation, tariffs are the optimal form.
Like Jefferson eliminated internal taxation to replace with tariffs. But
(40:10):
as you said, the critical thing is it's still just
a tax. He's just adding an additional tax.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's right. And you know, as I said, when all
this stuff kicked off, I said, Jefferson eliminated all internal
taxes and he could support the government that fit inside
the constitution just by having some import taxes. And then
later on in the eighteen hundreds, you had protectionist tariffs
that were targeted to particular industries that the federal government
(40:40):
had determined they wanted to thrive. And again, I'm not
for picking winners and losers by the government, but those
were strategies. Trump's strategy is simply to use it to
attack entire countries. He's not doing this in order to
make enough revenue to get rid of the income tax.
He's not doing this in order to imagine that he's
(41:01):
going to protect a particular industry. He's hurting our own industries.
And he's just using this as a weapon to slap
people upside the face. That's all that's happening with us.
Let's go ahead here.
Speaker 11 (41:12):
As I know Vonte seventeen seventy six, it says Trump
is a new Yawk Marshall status, debt loving, fed loving
military industrial complex loving democrat.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yep, the real octo spook.
Speaker 11 (41:24):
Reagan Stais did good for chip slash computer slash electronics
made in America today, If made in America, they are unaffordable.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah. Yeah, where is the semiconductor industry business today? Bye bye?
So terrorists did not save the UH in that trade agreement,
did not save it. And look, I worked at Texas Instruments,
and I know a bit of what the problem was.
There because we had state of the art memory processing
(41:51):
in Houston. They did it there because it was it
was a more humid environment. And you know, static electricity
is a real big issue for the semiconductors, at least
it was then in the early eighties. And yet they
got zero yield out of their production facilities. All of
their yield at the time I was there, between eighty
(42:13):
and eighty three, all their yield was coming from their
Japanese facilities, simply because Japanese workers were more careful about
what they were doing. They just went out and hired
people a kind of minimum wage here in the US
and Texas, and they had this real lackadaisical attitude about
keeping things clean and the clean room and all the
rest of this stuff. And so they're getting zero yield.
(42:35):
Their entire global output was coming from Japan. And this
is an American company. This is an American company who
came up with that design and so forth. So the
bottom line is that you've got to be able to
do the work, and government can't protect you from that.
And even this American company needed the manufacturing facilities in
(42:55):
Japan because the difference and attitudes of the workers.
Speaker 11 (43:00):
We have I'm Marty's has got to upload that debate
as a standalone and share a share share.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do that. We'll do that
today if you market for me and put it up.
Speaker 11 (43:11):
Wally Wallris, Trump and Reagan have something in common. They
are both actors.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
One of them is a lot better actor than the
other one, though. Yeah, it's kind of funny. We saw
the very beginning of Casablanca this weekend, and you know,
they were going to cast Ronald Reagan instead of Humphrey
Bogart in that role. It would might have been the
same movie at all. But it's kind of funny because
(43:37):
Casablanca means white House, so he didn't get the Casablanca role,
but he got the white House role later on, the
bigger starring role.
Speaker 13 (43:44):
I guess it's much better actor. Trump's just a reality
TV star.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Pro wrestler.
Speaker 11 (43:49):
Yeah, Wally Wallris, Trump and Reagan have something in common.
They are both actors. Yeah, Guard Goldsmith. You know the
other thing about Reagan's statement is that the Japanese push
at that moment was on so conductors and their central
planning ended up destroying the Japanese economy.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
For years after.
Speaker 11 (44:05):
That's right, Guard Goldsmith, the Japanese bank on semiconductors. Then
people found ways to make them incredibly cheaply, and the
price plummeted in the Japanese economy tanked.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yes, yeah, you know, I was talking about the memory chips, right,
Those kind of became a commodity anyway, and so the
people who had met the future on that wound up
losing it to really cheap manufacturing in Southeast Asia. Intel
survived for many years because they innovated in terms of
(44:35):
microprocessor designed, but now they're losing out to Nvidia, and
so it really is the intellectual property that's there. It's
the ability to be able to adapt. And if you
want to have that kind of an environment, the solution
is to get regulations and taxes off of people rather
than adding them on and you picking who the winners
and losers are going to be.
Speaker 11 (44:58):
I'm Marty responding to Guard golds It says a lot
of Trump central fascistic planning going on now. President of
Vante seventeen seventeen seventy six. I'm literally sick of seeing
Trump every day sign this order, sign that order. Rogue
government is a government of.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Orders, that's right.
Speaker 11 (45:13):
Guard Goldsmith. I don't know if you all heard bess
In on NBC, but he was like a blind man
in a forest, totally out to lunch on the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, he hasn't been told anything. I had to wait
and see. I'm updating my truth social I'm the Treasury secretary.
But the President doesn't ask me any questions about that.
He just had a temper tantrum. That's what this is
all about.
Speaker 11 (45:32):
I'm sure we'll all find out. At the same time.
Speaker 13 (45:34):
Guard gold traveling and then when I looked, there was
a ten percent tariff on Kata.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Who knows what's going on.
Speaker 11 (45:41):
Guard Goldsmith's maggot didn't like Biden plus on pocketing cash
uw Ukraine or the Clinton's making money at their foundations
that they had no problem when Trump plus pals laughed
about making cash off the April tariff stock market craft.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Right, that's right, that's absolutely amazing. What is happening, the
grifting that's going on, and Trump Junior and his grown
company is called something an unreal uh unnatural drones or
something like that. He's making a killing. And the Trump
of course would be used of those products to make
a literal killing.
Speaker 11 (46:13):
But one giant Ora boros that all feeds back into itself.
They're all getting rich off death Epstein Island. Take the
Epstein files, for example, Bill Clinn and the Monica Lewinsky
scandal was nothing compaired with Trump's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein
and his penchant for girls on the young side quote
unquote defy tyrants seventeen seventy six. Trump has already proven
(46:33):
he can verder millions around the world without any justice
or even the slightest amount of resistance.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (46:39):
Guard Goldsmith I suspect that soon Trump will claimed that
the Founding Fathers were created with AI.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (46:47):
George Washington didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Fun fact made him up.
Speaker 11 (46:50):
We all made him up.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Two thousand and five.
Speaker 8 (46:52):
First image was put on the Internet.
Speaker 11 (46:55):
Steve Evs Deport Trump to Israel.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
That's right, send him back to.
Speaker 11 (46:59):
The he really loves the James Mason zero five two one,
All right, let's send Trump back to Epstein Island with
CIA logo of Lelita Express Epstein Island. The Republicans impeached
Clinton overlying about Montic Lewinsky, whereas the Epstein files obviously
have Trump's name plastered all over them. Times are surrealistic,
to say the least. Guard Goldsmith Bessent was propped up
(47:24):
by Soros all along. The best of friends, the friends
that short and economy together stay together Niberu twenty twenty nine.
Every pestilent since JFK has been using the same incremental script.
I'm marty, Oh my goodness, an invasion of Canadian commercials.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
Next thing? You know?
Speaker 11 (47:41):
Have you telling Americans ask your doctor about fentanyl?
Speaker 1 (47:47):
That's great. I love that comment there. Yeah, that's an
invasion of commercials. I can't handle it to tell the
truth about me, and we're gonna stop.
Speaker 11 (47:57):
So Longies is not playing those pro suicide commercials down here?
Hey buddy, you look a little sick. Have you considered
ending at all? A cletus five? Five five? Do girls
under thirteen get in free at Trump's new ballroom? Be
not to ask these questions?
Speaker 1 (48:11):
You know, healthimpact dot Com Brian Shall Hobby actually had
up the pedo ballroom where he's talking about that and
that very thing.
Speaker 13 (48:20):
So you have a AI envisioning of what it might
look like.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, let's pull that up. Here we go,
all right here it is the Epstein Ballroom. Kids, rooms underground.
There you go. That's uh, that's the pedal ballroom right there.
Speaker 11 (48:38):
Probably a little bit too close to reality, right, a
little bit too close. Kataz Trophy says, how can Trump
run for a third term? More powers act? If there
is a big war? Trump doesn't even have to run.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
I think, well, they don't care what the constitution says. Anyway,
we saw that with Steve Mannon at the end of
the show on Friday. It's absolutely amazing and had a couple
of British reporters saying, you know, you've talked about the
Constitution and how as they would say it's fit for purpose,
and yet it clearly says that there's only two terms. Well,
we'll come to terms with what terms mean later on.
(49:10):
You know, we're gonna but we're going to make this
work one way or the other. And Trump's going to
do three terms. Well, you might want to ask his
doctor about this, because you know, when he went to
Walter Reid Hospital, people were speculating they said, the only
reason he would go there is if he's going to
be getting an MRI. Because they can do everything else
at the White House. They don't have a gigantic MRI machine.
(49:31):
But they got pretty much everything else that's there. And
so Trump came out and said, yeah, I got an
MRI when I was at Walter Reid Hospital. And he
goes and it was perfect. So I don't know. The
machine was in perfectly good shape. I don't know about
the best MRI.
Speaker 11 (49:49):
Incredible, no one got sucked into it.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
He doesn't say why he had to get an MRI.
Obviously he's not perfect or he wouldn't be getting one.
You don't just do those for laughs. And it's no
fun being in one of them, I can tell you,
but anyway them so he may get term limited by God,
you know, like all of these politicians who never leave,
(50:11):
and he will just thumb his nose at the Constitution.
And Steve Bannon is is just contemptible. That's all I
can say. The guy just is a crook and a criminal.
He deserves to be back in jail. He's arrogant as
well as belligerent. If he wasn't so arrogant, he wouldn't
have been put in jail in the first place. Could
have easily gone to Congress and just taken the Fifth Amendment.
(50:34):
But instead he arrogantly said you have no power over me,
I don't even have to come talk to you, and
he wound up going to jail and his co criminal
and cocaine. Before you say something.
Speaker 11 (50:43):
Like that, you better be really, really sure what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
So he's stupid as well as arrogant. His stupidity is
exceeded only by his arrogance. That's Steve Bannon. You can
tell him. I said that. Anyway, let's take a quick
break and we're going to come back and we're going
to talk about the soy boy, Scott Besson, who actually
we find out he tells us that he is a uh,
he's a soybean farmer. So we're going to put that
(51:10):
to the test. We'll be right back. You're listening to
(52:49):
the David Knight Show.
Speaker 14 (52:52):
Whether you're feeling like the Booze or bluegrass ads radio
has you covered? Check out a variety of channels on
our app at apsradio dot com.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Well, I got a couple of comments here. The question
could be how many of our paid criminals have a
screen Actor's Guild card A sidecard. I can immediately name three,
Ronald Reagan, Donald J. Trump, and AOC. I didn't know
Occasional Cortex had a screen actor's sidecard. That's interesting to
know and real. Octo Spook says new manufacturing and semiconductors
(53:28):
is completely made of anti static materials and workers wear
anti static clothing, so eliminated the problems. Well, I've been
out of that world for forty five years, so I
don't know anything at all about it. You can take
when I say about semiconductors over with the grain of salt.
But it was not even so much the static as
it was the dust. I don't know what they've done
(53:48):
about the dust. But they would wear booties on their feet,
and they would wear like shower caps on their head
to keep the hairs from falling into the thing, And
so it was kind of interesting. I would go over
to the facility where they're making it, and I'd see
these people out in the break room. They're shuffling around.
They wore this stuff outside of the positive pressure room,
(54:11):
so they're walking around on the same floor. We're walking
around with the booties over their shoes, and then they're
going to go back in the clean room and then
to look cool, they've got the shower cap cocked back
on the back of their head and they got a
bunch of tuft of hair in the front and I'm
looking at this and it's like and they wonder why
they get zero yield here this place. But let's talk
about the soybean farmer, and that is Scott Bessant. This
(54:37):
is a clip from him on the Sunday Show talking
about He was asked about the suffering that is being
inflicted on farmers unnecessarily by the Trump administration, not to
help a particular industry, but to help Argentina. This is
a new kind of protectionism where we protect the friends
of Trump.
Speaker 15 (54:58):
I did mean the second term. I know they have
met before. The President has also said he does want
our farmers to be taken care of. You did mention
that China has been boycotting American soybeans, and American farmers
have really suffered. Do you see a real light at
the end of the tunnel there they may allow soybeans again.
Speaker 10 (55:20):
Well, Martha, in case you don't know what, I'm actually
a soybean farmer.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
So I have felt that I can see a couple
of things happening here.
Speaker 10 (55:29):
One, the Chinese have substantially dropped their purchases to almost zero,
so they unfortunately have been using American farmers who are
amongst President Trump's biggest supporters. I think he had more
than ninety percent support. And then this was one of
the biggest crops in twenty or thirty years, so it
was a perfect storm. But I think we have addressed
(55:51):
the farmer's concerns. And I'm not going to get ahead
of the president, but I believe when the announcement of
the deal with China is made public that our soybean
farmers will feel very good about what's going on, both.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
For this season if they're still in business.
Speaker 6 (56:12):
The coming seasons for several.
Speaker 1 (56:14):
Yeah, if they're still in business, and again the wonderful
plans of Ron Vara, also known as Peter Navarro. As
people said, this guy is literally worth half a billion
dollars five hundred million dollar net worth. He's a soybean farmer,
is he really? It doesn't feel the same pain, they said,
as he's being ridiculed for calling himself a soybean farmer.
(56:36):
After claiming to be a soybean farmer. Critics pointed out
not only is net worth, but that he owns twenty
five million north acres of North Dakota land that bring
in yearly rental income of a million dollars, so it's
a pretty small part of his income. Actually, So again,
(56:58):
Bessett claims to be a farmer, Peter Navara claims to
be an economist, and then Trump pretends to be telling
the truth. I don't know what is it that's going
on there in Washington. He was mercilessly mocked on Sunday
after claiming to be a soybean farmer. He is a
soy boy however, Yeah, there he is right there, So
(57:19):
I guess they should have had him bring on this
soy boy friend that he says he's married to.
Speaker 11 (57:25):
Also, there's a big difference between being a soybean. Let's
just take him at his word. Let's say the only
thing he had was twenty five million acres. There's a
big difference between being a soybean farmer and owning twenty
five million acres of land.
Speaker 1 (57:40):
That's right, he's the guy exploiting the soybean farmers. I actually.
Speaker 11 (57:45):
He's not out there in the fields like, Oh, I've
got my tractor and I've got my one tract of
land that we farm, and my family's been working on
it for generations. Twenty five million acres.
Speaker 13 (57:58):
He's a soybean in, not a soybean farmer. He invests
in the farms is the best you could.
Speaker 1 (58:04):
Say about the soybean landlord. And if these guys can't
grow and pay him, he's going to evict them. He's
going to be the soyboy evictor there so people saying
he's not feeling the same pain as your average soybean farmer.
George Conway says, oh, come on, he's just like the
Green Acres guy. You can and he's also going to
(58:27):
tell us, just like the Green Acres guy, that the
farmer is the backbone of the American economy and they
can play the well patriotic music in the background of
the fife and drum. Ron Philipowski also chimed in. He
said from his perch as a longtime global currency trader
on Wall Street, Bessant has invested twenty five million in
Midwest land, which he leases out to actual farmers. Elon
(58:51):
Musk's Ai Chatbot Grock said, No, Scott Bessant doesn't literally
farm soybeans himself. He's a hedge fund manager. Turns Scutaria State,
who owns twenty five million in North Dakota farmland producing
soybean and corn. Just an investor, landlord. And again, if
you want to know how this is all going to
(59:12):
work out for people.
Speaker 16 (59:13):
Donald Trump was born as a result of this model,
which the industrialized. So this is the great hypocrisy of
people like don't it just like is looking the working
class of the United States in the eyes, so I
feel your pain. Their pain is exactly this. It's the
output of exactly the same process that led to Donald
(59:37):
Trump's real estate business success. Right, And in the end,
of course, he's going to sell them down the line
in the same way that Hitler led to the destruction
of Germany. Because even if let's say that Donald Trump's
policy and Jadevance's policy of swapping tariffs on all the
countries that export stuff to the United States works, and
(59:58):
there is reindustrializing of America. I don't think there will be,
but let's say there is. Then what happens immediately after
that is that the flow of capital back to the
United States stops, because the flow of capital into Wall
Street from the rest of the world is the flip
side of the coin of the same coin as the
American trade deficit. Once you eliminate the deficit, there would
(01:00:21):
be no more German profits, excess profits, or Japanese profits
or Chinese profits from the American market to go back
to Wall Street. So who's going to suffer? Finances in
Wall Street and the realtors in New York. So Trump,
even if he succeeds, he will have to choose between
betraying his own class, the realtors and the finances or
the working class of the United States. Make no mistake
(01:00:43):
that he will betray the working class of the United
States exactly the same way that every other artro writist
has betrayed the working class that it has appealed to
for support in order to be a Thirdaian.
Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Well apart from the class warfare, this guy seems hung
up on He's exactly right, because Trump is in this
club that you ain't in, and he's doing everything for
their advantage. And we saw that in twenty twenty you
were non essential if you had a small, medium sized
business and you need to be shut down. The people
on Wall Street were allowed to stay open because they
were essential. Walmart was essential. You were not essential. And
(01:01:19):
the other thing about this is that Trump wants to
say he's got this endless amount of money that he
can tap from tariffs, and yet if he is successful
in terms of stopping the flow of goods into America
from abroad, all of that income goes away. So he's
telling people, We've got this unlimited source of money, and
i can replace the income tax here, but I'm also
(01:01:41):
going to have all the production here in America. Well,
you can't have both of those things. And so what
he's pointing out is that the trade deficit is built
on the fact that these other countries are selling more
in but they're also taking their money and putting it
back into Wall Street. And if they don't have the
way to put back into Wall Street because they can't
sell anything, then that's going to cause Wall Street to collapse.
(01:02:04):
And so you know that Trump and Vance are going
to sell us down the road for their powerful friends.
That's for real. Whether you want to buy into the
I don't buy into the class warfare stuff, but we
can see that it's a club that we ain't in,
and these guys have been closing ranks around each other,
the oligarchses of America. Besson loves to pull me I'm
(01:02:27):
a farmer line out of his pocket when he's confronted
with the terriffs impacts on American farmers. In an attempt
to try to humanize hisself, he doesn't seem to be
to human to me and pretend he can relate to
farmers who are suddenly sitting on a surplus of crops
that won't sell thanks to his and the President's trade policies.
(01:02:49):
You may or may not know. I am a farmer,
he said back in May when asked about the terrafs.
In case you're wondering whether it's a massive conflict of
interest having a Treasury secretary who is invest in the
crop that he's negotiating the cell of with China, you
would be right, according to the government ethics experts. Bestn't
a former hedge fund manager for Soros Maga. He's a
(01:03:13):
Soros guy. He worked with Soros doing underhanded destruction of
the British currency, as he may be doing the same
thing now. He's worked in finance his entire adult life.
He's bringing a million in rental income, as I said,
from his twenty five million dollars investment in North Dakota farmland.
(01:03:34):
And that's just a small part of his five hundred
million dollar network. During his confirmation hearings, bessent valed that
he would divest these assets if confirmed, but here we
are he still has them a year later and bragging
about the fact that he's got it. His refusal to
divest fully is just another example of the flouted ethics
(01:03:56):
that define the Trump administration. That's exactly what's happening here.
Trump fan has been gutted by terraffts and says that
he sees bankruptcies and suicides if the trade war continues.
This is an actual soybean farmer, Caleb Raglan, who says
he's a supporter of Trump, but he warned on News
(01:04:16):
Nation on Friday the thousands of farms will go under
if the President's trade war continues. He's a soybean farmer
in Kentucky. He's been hit hard financially this year, mainly
due to China being the biggest buyer of soybeans, and
they have bought zero now because of Trump's trade war.
He says, it's tough when you lose twenty five percent
of your market suddenly, the reality of trade board and
(01:04:38):
the retaliatory terriffs that have come from China against our soybeans.
Soybeans are America's largest agricultural export. China is the largest user.
They use sixty one percent of all soy consumed around
the world. And here in this marketing year, the soybeans
are being harvested, and we have not sold a single
(01:05:00):
bean to China. Normally they'd be purchasing very robustly right now,
right in the middle of our harvest season. So he
praised Trump on some of his policies, but set on trade.
He said, I've got some issues. He blasted Trump's twenty
billion dollar bailout to Argentina, his suggestion that the US
should buy beef from Argentina. He predicted suicides and more
(01:05:24):
across the country if tariffs continue. He said, We're going
to need a financial bridge on. The reality will be
the increases in bankruptcies, the loss of thousands of family farms,
by the way, one out of every three in Arkansas.
But we don't care as long as Argentina is doing well.
That's what Trump cares about. It'll even be worse with
(01:05:45):
people committing suicide and choosing to end it all. We're
on the verge of a farm crisis do to the
rising cost of our production and declining costs for our products,
including soybeans. We've got to find a new balance. Well,
you know, at the same time, Bessant was asked about
(01:06:06):
the about inflation in terms of groceries, and he lied
about that as well. Do we have that clip lens? Yeah,
third row, third video. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 9 (01:06:18):
Inflation. We learned this week that inflation in September ticked
back up to three percent. That's the highest level since January.
I want you to take a listen to something that
President elect Trump told me back in December. Take a look.
Speaker 12 (01:06:34):
I started using the word the groceries. When you buy apples,
when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would
double and triple the price over a short period of time.
Speaker 17 (01:06:45):
And I want an.
Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Election based on that.
Speaker 12 (01:06:47):
We're going to bring those prices way down.
Speaker 9 (01:06:50):
Mister secretary. Coffee prices are up nineteen percent from a
year ago, Beef is up almost fifteen percent, and bacon
up almost six percent, just to name a few. So
when are all grocery prices going to come down? As
President Trump promised, we want central planning.
Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
Unfortunately, as much as I like you, you like to cherry pick.
So you know, when we came in it.
Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
What is a price cherry egg plation, egg plation.
Speaker 10 (01:07:17):
You know, egg prices are down, Gasoline prices are down.
Wait didn't he just cherry pick the inflation Since President
Trump has come in, the has come down. We inherited
this terrible affordability crisis from the Biden administration. The first
thing we had to do was get it under control.
And this month's inflation number was actually below the consensus number.
(01:07:41):
If we look at core inflation, it was zero point
two percent.
Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
And of course you can always trust, boys and girls
any numbers that government bureaucracy gives you on inflation.
Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
You don't get to cheer employment.
Speaker 10 (01:07:52):
Inflation is a composite number, and I am confident that
in the coming months, inflation is going to come down.
Speaker 9 (01:08:00):
To be very clear, though, CPI has been higher in
the past three months than it was in the first
five months of the year. If President Trump's economic policies
are working, why is inflation up? Why are those grocery prices?
Then I just mentioned that he said we're so critical,
why are they up?
Speaker 10 (01:08:18):
Well again, Christine, you're cherry picking, because inflation actually had
a drop, the first drop in four years, in March
and April under President Trump, and I am confident that
as we come into the coming numbers that we will
see a drop in inflation back towards the FEDS two
(01:08:39):
percent target.
Speaker 6 (01:08:41):
And I assume your.
Speaker 10 (01:08:43):
Next question is going to be to blame it on tariffs,
and the imported goods have actually been quite flat or dropped,
and it's mostly service goods. And another factor in the
inflation report is what's called investment management income, and that's
inflation that goes up because the stock market goes up,
(01:09:06):
so management fees are higher.
Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Yeah, what about taxes? What about insurance costs and all
the rest of stuff. And what about the fact that the
government always lies? As Lanta says, don't trust your lying eyes.
Prices are going down because the government says so. Well,
if you want to know why things are going up,
ask somebody who'll give you a straight answer, and who knows,
and that's Thomas Massey. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:09:29):
I'm getting chill bumps because I remember that I was
pointing out that the supply chain for some foods is
three years long, and that what we were doing during
COVID in terms of planning an apple tree, it's going
to take three or four years for that, sometimes five
or six years for that apple tree to bear fruit.
And if during COVID you're paying people to stay home
and not plan apple trees, you're affecting the price of
(01:09:51):
apples five years from now. The same thing when you
slaughtered the dairy herd because they didn't have the facility,
the school was closed and they couldn't redirect that milk
because it was in cartons for school children, not for
moms at the supermarket. So they destroyed dairy cattle, which
we're going to take two or three years to build
back up. And so you had a lot of weird
(01:10:13):
things going on during COVID and we're still seeing the
tail of that. No pun intended right now.
Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
And of course, yeah, you can't get the stuff to
market as we kill the dairy cattle. Well what about
the egg situation, Well that was the USDA killing the
chickens based on PCR lives and the solution from the
Trump administration from brook Lollins was for her to approve
an mRNA shot for chickens, for cows, for pigs and
(01:10:44):
everything to contaminate our food supply. You get a shot
and we won't kill them, or otherwise you know we will.
We will kill your livestock here. Well, yeah, that's it's
been sewn in there. And of course remember his opposition
to the lockdown and the bailouts and stuff like that,
the Cares Act and so forth. The lies about that,
(01:11:07):
the three and a half trillion dollars with a spending
Massey's opposition to that back in twenty twenty was what
first drew Trump's iire and Trump wanted him primary out
didn't happen, though, Well, this is from Joel Salatin, and
Joel Salatin is a great farmer. But he says, don't
(01:11:28):
bail out soybeans. And I think he's missing the point here.
And his basic point is he says, well, I'll start
out with this question, what does a business do when
nobody wants his products or services? Answer? It asked for
the federal government to bail it out and to pay
for a product that nobody wants. That is clearly not
(01:11:48):
the case here. China wants soybeans. They're buying them from Argentina,
and we supported Argentina, gave them money, and they're so
called free market. Javier Malai had an export tax on soybeans,
and with the money that he got from Bessant, the
Soros guy, he was able to cut the export taxes
(01:12:11):
and immediately China loads up on soybeans there. So that's
not the case. And when we look at this, as
I've said before, this is not the first rodeo for
tariffs with China and agricultural products for the Trump administration.
This happened even before you had the lockdown from Trump
and so the economic damage that was done by his
(01:12:33):
first round of tariffs in his first administration, he should
have known that this is going to happen and they
should have had something ready, and yet here they are.
They've talked about it, people criticize them for helping Argentina,
they still have done nothing for the farmers for the
damage that they caused. And see that's the issue here.
Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Joel Salaton looks at this and he says, well, you know,
the reality is that you've got a lot of people
who have decided that they want to do special interest commodities.
And he said that turns them into dependence, and before
long they see themselves as entitled dependents. And so Joel
(01:13:12):
Salaton is somebody who has natural farming techniques. He's focused
on raising beef naturally. He's done a lot of instructions
on how people can do that. He has no sympathy
for the people who remain in these special interest commodities.
But the reality is that even though that may be
(01:13:33):
a bad decision on their part, and they may be
involved in essentially a kind of ubi farming, right, universal
basic income farming, still you have a situation where it's
like the federal government driving its car into your car.
They need to compensate you for the damage that you've done,
he said. The six crops that are special interest commodities
(01:13:56):
are soybeans, corn, sugarcane, wheat, rice, and cotton. Nothing else
gets subsidy anointing from the federal temple like these six commodities.
The result is an unholy legacy jerking farmers from one
promised salvation to another, none of which actually ends in
better trajectory for the primary producers. Well, I agree with him,
(01:14:17):
and he's tried to make this point to a lot
of these people who are on this gravy train, you know,
telling them it'd be better for them to get off
of federal government welfare and to grow another crop. He says,
you know people who got into cattle, He said, right now,
with a price of beef up there. But of course
the Trump administration's working on that as well. They want
to help Argentina. They want to drive the cost of
(01:14:37):
beef down for the farmers. But he says, right now,
cow's like gold, and so there are other ways to
approach this, and he's writing this op ed piece, I think,
largely to fellow farmers saying get off of the welfare
gravy train, because when the government gives you everything, they
can take everything away from you. So I agree with
(01:14:58):
that part of his message. But I still think think
that Trump and company own some kind of compensation these
people for the damage that they've done. So you know,
when you look at Bessett, just one last thing here,
he is very much like the like Bill Gates, right.
Speaker 17 (01:15:16):
Very blessed whether it's wind or solar.
Speaker 19 (01:15:20):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (01:15:21):
You know, it's quite phenomenal. And your land area per person, uh,
you know, compared to say Singapore's is pretty good. Uh.
And so the opportunities created by world that is getting
rid of greenhouse gas emissions Australia is rare in that
the opportunities exceed the things you have to give up.
(01:15:43):
You have to give up a large part of the
and eventually almost all of the coal mining activity.
Speaker 19 (01:15:50):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (01:15:50):
You know what happens with beef. My climate group Breakthrough
Energy just announced literally today an investment in Australian group
called Ruminate that.
Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
I hope you've got two stomachs in order to be
able to stomach the garbage that he's going to be
putting out there.
Speaker 17 (01:16:10):
To global emissions or cows who burp and fart methane
uh to an extreme degree.
Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
So does Bill Gates either fix.
Speaker 17 (01:16:20):
The cows to stop them doing that, or you can
make beef without the cown. Both of those, you know,
will be pursued to see which one can lead to
the best product in terms of uh, taste, health and cost.
Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Yeah. So of course, you know, if we don't pay
attention to these people, they're going to starve us of energy,
They're going to starve us of food, They're going to
poisonous with pharmaceuticals. America hurts farmers and discounts China's soy
imports while providing a crutch for Argentina. Now this is
the Mesa's Institute's take on it. So you had Joel
(01:16:58):
Salaton who was looking at individual farmer and he was
saying to them, you know, they got you on a
kind of a welfare program. You need to get off
of this and start thinking independently. He raises beef, does
it naturally, and he takes it directly to the consumer.
And that's really really profitable because people will pay a
premium price for clean meat that doesn't go through the
(01:17:18):
system if you can afford it, and if more people
would do it, it would be more affordable. So I
hardly endorse that message of Joel Salatin. However, Mesu's people
are looking at the you know, the Trump decisions that
are here, the government's decisions that are here, and again
Bessett is lying about inflation, and as Meses points out,
(01:17:43):
they go back to that leaked text. You know, somebody
took a picture over his shoulder of what was happening
in everyone there. Let's see it should be. I don't
know if I've got that picture in here or not,
but you know we got the wrong clip there on that,
(01:18:05):
so they got in there twice. But anyway, I've shown
you the picture before of bes getting a text message
from Brooke Rawlins at the US Department of Agriculture, and
she was saying to him finally, just a heads up,
I'm getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate. We
bailed out Argentina yesterday and in return, Argentina's removing their
export terrace on grains, reducing their price and sold a
(01:18:28):
bunch of soybeans to China at a time when we
would normally be selling to China. Soy prices are dropping
further because of it, and this gives China more leverage
on us. Do you think he cares? No, he doesn't care.
What was intended as this is Mesa's saying, what was
intended as a tool of geopolitical strategy to tip the
(01:18:48):
favor of Buenos Aires. A twenty billion dollar currency swamp
line extended to Argentina has had the effect of helping
to funnel a bounty of Argentinian produced soybeans into the
internal commodity market and into the lapse of Chinese buyers
at a steep discount. You see, like all this stuff again,
you can see that Trump is in it for his pals.
(01:19:09):
He's in it for his immediate circle, and he doesn't
care about the mam and pop stores on Main Street.
He only cares about Wall Street. He doesn't care about
the farmers. He only cares about the hedge fund managers,
like his boy, his sorous boy, Scott Bessentt. And we
just see this over and over again. The trade war
between Washington and Beijing in twenty eighteen and nineteen hit
(01:19:33):
US soybeans with heavy tariffs, and China pivoted to suppliers
like Brazil and increasingly Argentina. Even after the deals to
smooth out the trade rivalry, Chinese purchases of American soy
never fully recovered. And many of those farmers, by the way,
he went out of business the first round. I remember
hearing them talking about that. When he locked down all
(01:19:55):
the farms in twenty twenty. They said, you know, we
barely survived his tariffs, and now he is locking down
the farms again. And yet these people foolishly supported him
yet again. Anyway, US exporters, already hammered by years of
retaliatory two DS during the first Trump administration, sustain punishment
yet again from this latest development. So Jesus is right.
(01:20:20):
It is Trump punishing his own voters. You know, he
could shoot them in the head on Fifth Avenue and
the survivors would still vote for him. He could shoot
him in the arm with a toxic vaccine, they would
still vote for him. As the dust settles on this
particular deal, policy makers should paused to consider the full
spectrum of consequences of such financial bets. Not only should
(01:20:43):
the US government keep its fingers out of the fiscal
affairs of Argentina. And why isn't this an election manipulation? Right?
Everybody is so upset about supposed foreign interference in our elections.
We're interfering in the Argentine election in other countries for
that matter. But it should also leave the American agricultural
(01:21:05):
sector to the farmers themselves, that's right. Why can't we
have a marketplace? Well, we've got a comment from Marky Mark,
thank you for the tip. He says Trump took loans
from Soros to build the Trump Hotel Chicago. There's anyone
surprised that he took one of Sourus's hedge fund managers.
Trump is Sourus's puppet for crying out loud. Yeah, that's right,
(01:21:27):
I said. When I showed that picture of the crying
puppet with a Pinocchio knows, I said, so, who's only
a strings? Well, you got a lot of people pulling
a strings. You's got Soros, you got the Ross childs.
Wilbur Ross was the first one there, and of course
the crypto people. You know, he put one of the
crypto guys in there. Lucky Lucky Lootnik is there. And
(01:21:48):
he's going to make the Trump family many tens of
billions of dollars with his stable coin stuff. Maybe more
than that, maybe it'll be hundreds of billions, who knows.
Speaker 11 (01:21:57):
We can just be sure they are going to make
a lot of money, though.
Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Yeah, they're going to make a killing, and we're going
to talk about Trump is already making a killing. Literally,
we'll get to that in a minute.
Speaker 11 (01:22:06):
I want to thank Stealth Patriot, thank you very much.
What we need to scroll that says the Boomers allowed
the slow march of communism, fascism, and perpetual wars into
our institutions and government because it was either disguised as
social justice or patriotism.
Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Yeah, well, I'm a Boomer. I scream as much as
I can about it, is all I can say. I'm
not on board with any of this stuff.
Speaker 11 (01:22:32):
Every generation has their own foibles and crosses to bear.
No one is innocent, No one is innocent here. J. L.
Dub's music says, did you go to the No Kings protest?
Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
David No, I didn't because I'm not going to wear
an I Am anti fat t shirt. You know, when
you go to a protest, you get lumped together with
all the people that are there. I learned that, you know,
when I was with the Libertarian Party and they did
some things that I might have agreed with the general
thrust of it, but in terms of some of the
(01:23:05):
specifics and how they conducted themselves, I did not want
to be lumped in with that crowd, so I did
not go. I agree with what they're saying. I think
that Trump is acting as a king, and I think
that is a legitimate criticism of him. I do not
believe that it is an AstroTurf thing that's being funded
by George Soros. And as I said before, you know
(01:23:26):
these Republicans who say, well, don't worry about it, it's
not real, right, No, it was real. There was another
No Kings. There was another one before, and it had
all kinds of pre printed signs, all the rest of
stuff that was AstroTurf. This was not AstroTurf. People are
genuinely and should be genuinely upset about this, and I
have a different way of protesting rather than showing up
(01:23:48):
to these events. But again, I think that these Republican influencers,
these Trump influencers that are out there are whistling in
the dark. I think that they are scared about what
they're seeing, and they're trying to come up with soothing
explanations for why he had such a large turnout and
so much anger. One way or the other, You've got
(01:24:10):
a massive base that is being heavily energized by Trump,
and that's not a good thing for our side. I
want the policies that the Conservatives say they want. I
just disagree with what he's doing and the way that
he's getting it. I think the means matters as much,
if not more so, than the ends that you're trying
to pursue.
Speaker 13 (01:24:31):
I already took out that clip from George Carlin saying
that he doesn't like groups of people. Yeah, that would
fit perfectly here. It's about the policy issues. You don't
want to get grouped in, especially with the types of
people that were very prevalent at No Kings.
Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
Yeah, he says, before you know what you're wearing, hats
I'm not gonna wear a MAGA hat and I'm not
gonna wear an antifad I am antifad T shirt either way.
Speaker 11 (01:24:55):
God Goldsmith, he just rents the land of Soy farmers,
and again he is supposed to divest from that when
policy can conflict when he enters his office. Funny, funny
how that seems to happen. Jim's seven. One of those
Bill Gates esque farmers, Scott Bessant and Bill Gates, just
two humble farmers work in the land tunnel lord went
(01:25:17):
three three seven. They might be trying to kill off
the other Soy farmer so we can buy up more
Soy farmland.
Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
Yeah, there's this conflict ofventest right there.
Speaker 11 (01:25:26):
Yeah, would not be surprised. That's the sort of thing
they always engage in. Well, you guys make the economy difficult.
I can weather the storm. They'll be forced to sell
to me at a greatly reduced price. Px mac. I
think if you want to know how hard to go
owns its people, look at how stupid you can get
them to behave. Well, then we are completely owned and controlled.
(01:25:47):
And Max think does Trump's investments? Isn't that criminal? M
You would think Nibru twenty twenty nine. Emperor Trump's Gates
in parentheses. The population agenda is still alive and throw
by every means possible solo Caad nineteen eighty. Trump is
serving Bill Gates's agenda to put mom and pop farmers
out of business. That's right, Niberu twenty twenty nine. Emperor
(01:26:09):
Trump's already read that one. It's in there twice. Don't
frag me, bro fake meat made with cancer cells or
eat the bugs one or the other. You get to choose.
Guard Goldsmith. Yeah, Bessen was in the dark here and
he perpetually made slippery claims all nine thousand Watson. Alex
Jones says the economy is great.
Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
Well, don't get me started. He had a thing with
Patrick burn about how we got to go into Venezuela.
It's a good thing. We've got to go start a
war in South America. It's like nothing says Cia like that. Alex.
You and Patrick Byrne, I thought you disgust me. I
tell you, people lie up one side and down the other,
just like Donald Trump and Scott Bethson. It's amazing.
Speaker 13 (01:26:50):
Yeah, it's really amazing. All of the people on the
left that were saying the economy was great at the
end of Biden's run, and now you've got everyone on
the saying no, now the economy is great now at
Trump's in office. It's just about who's in office.
Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
It's just like the vaccine. Remember when it was the
Trump vaccine. All the Democrats line, I don't take that.
It's done by Donald Trump. And I think soon as
the you know, the lover's changed and Biden was in there.
Now the vaccine is safe and everybody must take it
or you lose your job.
Speaker 11 (01:27:22):
Yeah, Mama Ce nineteen ninety six says, I live in
North Dakota. The local farmers are meeting at the cafe
to compare the size to soybeans piles at elevators, a
number of bins that they have full. So sorry to
hear that Burdouse Blue is still pointing the finger at
the Biden administration. It's November twenty twenty five. Well, I mean,
(01:27:42):
if you don't point it at someone else, there's only
one person you can blame, Marky Mark New Jersey. Alex
Jones has become a total neocon.
Speaker 1 (01:27:51):
Thank you very much for the support. A shill star Barkley.
I've seen that for a long time. I mean you
look at people like Steve A. Chennik and Jack Besbet
and all these other right wing intel people. Look, the
CIA in the intelligence community is not monolithic. You got
left wingers like Brennan and Clapper, and you got right
wingers like the people that show up on Alex Jones's show,
(01:28:13):
and they are at war with each other. And Alex
has long been a propagandist for these people. Now he's
selling their wars for them. Absolutely amazing. You know, he
used to used to have people on like Gary Webb
telling us what the CIA was doing with drugs. Used
to tell people the truth because you got to tell
people the truth and get their confidence before the con
(01:28:33):
man can fleece you, which is what Alex's Jones is doing.
It's amazing, Star Barkley.
Speaker 11 (01:28:39):
They just spiked in one week or two the shut
down six rolls of paper towels for ten ninety seven.
Now it's fifteen ninety nine. Everything is just getting crazy expensive.
Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
Yeah, and they cherry pick what they want. You know,
when you talk about the inflation numbers, and Scott Bessen said,
well you're cherry picking numbers here. I mean they it's
built into their metric. They will go in and they'll
take a look, for example, at computers, and they'll say, Okay,
this year's last year's computer was about three thousand dollars.
This year's computer is about three thousand dollars. But look,
this one is x percent faster, So it means that
(01:29:12):
the price is effectively gone down. So if it's twenty
percent faster than last year's three thousand dollars model, they
will say that the price is actually gone down by
twenty percent. That's the kind of games that they play.
And they avoid looking at things like insurance and taxes
and they wait them to make them disappear, and medical
costs and things like that. It's all rigged. Everything that
(01:29:34):
the government does is rigged. Their unemployment numbers are rigged,
their inflation numbers are rigged. It's all a lie. As
Audi says, that's the name of his podcast, It's all
a lie.
Speaker 11 (01:29:45):
Hey, I know your milk and eggs have gone through
the roof, but have you considered replacing them with a
gaming laptop instead? This seems to be in it.
Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Let meet laptops, Yeah, Lett meet megaflops.
Speaker 11 (01:29:59):
These are not equivalent and exchangeable items. Guard Goldsmith. He
doesn't mention that the smaller price inflation rate two point
seven is still inflation and lower import prices is due
to a crashing demand. I looked it all up last night.
Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
Well the other thing too, is that two percent inflation
with their metrics is their goal. So they're fifty percent
over their goal. It's another way to look at it.
So again, it's inflation is the way that they want.
There's something that they actually want, even though they cry
out about it, because it allows them to monetize the debt.
It allows them to pay off the debt with cheaper
(01:30:36):
dollars that they just conjure out of thin air. Well,
we're going to take a quick break here and we're
going to be back in just a moment, and when
we come back, we're going to talk about what's going
on with the war inside the United States with ice.
Stay with us. Will be right back analyzing the globalis

Welcome back, folks, real quickly. Jason Barker. Jason Barker says
lowering the rate of inflation is basically saying I'm going
to steal your wealth at a slightly sower rate.
Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 11 (01:32:44):
If the thief moves real slowly as he's taking your wallet,
it's fine, Brad Soder. Inflation is safe and effective.
Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (01:32:53):
Ask your doctor if inflation is right for you.
Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
They're Nikolin diming us to death. Well, this Indian illegal
alien that killed three people when he did that crazy
U turn, and we've shown you the video of it,
and the fact that he and is the person who's
writing with him really didn't have much of a reaction
to that. Federal prosecutors are now revealing that this guy
(01:33:18):
accused of killing three people. Yes, how they always do that, right,
That's what you know when we talk about Trump murdering
these people in the Caribbean or the Pacific. Uh, they're
always very careful to say, even when we got video
tape of the guy doing it, they say they allegedly
killed three people. We know that he killed three people,
but you always say it's alleged until they are convicted.
(01:33:42):
Trump is just killing people. He doesn't even bother with
any of that anyway. So he failed a written driving
exam ten times. And yet another shocking revelation of this
particular case this is there needs.
Speaker 11 (01:33:57):
To be a system in a place where if you
fail more than a certain number of times they put
you on it, you're not allowed Lisz No, it's right.
Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
Well, hopefully he will get a lawyer who has failed
the bar ten times. So this guy's twenty eight years old.
He made an illegal This is an illegal alien who
made an illegal U turn because you know, hey, the
laws don't apply to these guys right in the far
highway and basically he wound up with a semi trailer
(01:34:26):
going across the road and these people getting stopped and
they went and to the side of it killed all
three people in the car.
Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
So we've played the video.
Speaker 13 (01:34:34):
It's really shocking his total lack of reaction. He just
looks over casually and yeah, he doesn't do anything about it.
He's completely calm.
Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
Attorney General James Uthmaier, who's investigating how Singh was able
to secure a commercial driver's license, says the illegal alien
repeatedly failed a written exam before the crash. As we
continue our investigation to California Washington, we learn that he
failed as written exam ten times. I mean he took
behind the wheel training course at a private CDL school
(01:35:04):
in Washington State. That school will be hearing from my
office soon. Oh good. An investigation opened by Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy found that Singh was able to secure the
CDL thanks to the sanctuary states of Washington and California.
On July fifteenth, twenty twenty three, the sanctuary state of
Washington issued a CDL to sing even as illegal aliens
(01:35:28):
are not eligible for such licenses. Then in July of
twenty twenty four, the sanctuary state of California issued him
a limited term, non domiciled CDL. Now let me just
say this, this is where Trump should start. As I said,
the means that you use are as important as the
(01:35:49):
ends that you're pursuing. And so when you look at
what Trump should do about the massive number of people
that have been allowed into this country illegally under Bid
but also under Trump and under other presidents, what should
he do about this? How should he go about removing them?
And I've said, first of all, you take away the
welfare benefits. These guys are getting The guy in Chicago
(01:36:11):
who was accosted by ICE agents and said, shows your
identity papers, So I don't have my identity papers on us.
We shouldn't have to carry identity papers on us in America.
But then they hit him. They found out that he
was legal, that he was here illegally, and they hit
him with one hundred and thirty dollars fine. And he says,
I can't afford that I'm living in government provided housing.
Well stop that. That's the way you get the guy out.
(01:36:34):
It isn't with this other side. Why does he have
legal status when he can't support himself. That's the question.
Speaker 11 (01:36:40):
I'm here legally, oh thank goodness, living on welfare government housing.
Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
Oh yeah, legally legally. And that's what Trump is not
doing anything about. If they would focus on that first
rather than accosting people in the neighborhoods, that's the key issue.
And at the beginning of all this, remember when people
were talking about it, you had some of the Republican
strategis say, well, he'll probably start this in the Republican
states where he'll get friendly cooperation. Instead. What did Trump do?
(01:37:08):
He went to the most Democrat of the Democrat areas
so that he would have a conflict. This is designed
as a conflict. It is designed to create a bigger problem.
It's designed for civil war. Furthermore, if you look at
these commercial driver's license things here, wouldn't you think that
since there's more than sixty thousand of these, I think
(01:37:29):
the exact numbers like sixty two thousand something, Since they
know that you've got illegal aliens or who have commercial
driver's licenses, or people from California that have been given
these non resident drivers CDLs or whatever. Start with that.
Start with that these are people who are not only
(01:37:49):
here illegally, but they are a threat to human life
on the freeways and they're taking Americans jobs. Why doesn't
the Trump administration, first of all, start and the conservative states,
but start with stuff like this, Start with the welfare recipients,
start with the semi truck drivers who can't read or
speak English. They don't want to solve the problem. On
(01:38:13):
July third of this year, Sing was pulled over by
New Mexico State Police for speeding and given a ticket,
but officers failed to conduct an English language proficiency assessment,
allowing him to continue driving the semi truck despite not
speaking English, and all Americans, almost all Americans would support this,
(01:38:35):
And why didn't he start with this? After the deadly
crash in Florida, Sing was given an English language proficiency
assessment by the Department of Transportation, officials said, and this
is after he's been driving a truck for years in
the United States. Right said that he failed the test,
currently answering only two out of twelve verbal questions, accurately
(01:39:00):
identifying only one out of four traffic signs. And this
guy doesn't even bother to learn what the traffic signs are,
let alone English.
Speaker 6 (01:39:09):
And those have pictures on them exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
The fatal crash involving the illegal alien spurred Secondary of
State Marco Rubio to pause the issuance of commercial driver's
licenses going to foreign nationals. Well, why don't you do
better than that. You have got to be able to
find where these people are. They've got driver's licenses. There's
some information they could track these guys down. You know,
they could track them down more easily than they're tracking
(01:39:35):
down people at random in Chicago and grab these guys,
get them off the road. If it requires you to
just pull them out of the car or the cab
that they're driving. Fine, I don't care. Let the company
that hired these people deal with that. I've got an
abandoned truck over here. Come get your truck that to pay.
That'd be the penalty for the companies that hired these people.
(01:39:58):
But again, it's not just him. It's also this. When
we showed this horrific crash of this guy, he was
actually cooking eggs or something courriers. Here's the real thing,
And where we played it, people were saying, is this Ai?
Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:40:15):
Unfortunately, this is actually real. This is the real video.
Here he is. He's cooking, and he's gonna slam into
a whole bunch of cars and trucks and kill people.
Here he is Damn damn look of that. That's amazing. So,
(01:40:36):
uh No, that was real. That was not AI. No,
this is AI. Can we get this off the street? Trump?
You're gonna do anything about this? No, you're not, because
you don't care. You're using this problem to create a
(01:40:57):
civil war. You don't really want to solve the problems
that you and Biden have created. Yeah, again, the over
the top, that's the AI version. The real one was
bad enough Gavin Newsom has thumbed his nose at US.
The US is about to pull one hundred and sixty
(01:41:18):
million dollars from California for giving commercial driver's licenses to illegals.
I'm all for that. Get the illegals off the road,
pull them off the road. Come on, pull them off
the road, and put a fine against any trucking company
that would hire somebody like that. So Secondary Transportation Sean
Duffy on Sunday. So the federal government, so on the verge,
(01:41:39):
we're thinking about it. We're just about to pull some
money from these guys, one hundred and sixty million dollars
from California. But can't they track these drivers and deport
these drivers? So you've got over sixty thousand people on
the roads who shouldn't have licenses. They're driving fuel tankers,
they're driving school buses. What's wrong with that? Why can't
he stop that? Well, Duffy is threatening to strip California
(01:42:02):
of its ability to issue commercial driver's licenses in Washington too.
They need to do it with Washington as well. But again,
why not pull these people off the road. You know,
we look at all the traffic enforcement that goes on
all the time, all the arbitrary tickets for arbitrary speed
limits and all the rest of this stuff. When it
(01:42:22):
really comes to a real safety issue, they won't do
anything about it. So he warned the California could lose
his ability to issue commercial driver's licenses and risk losing
more funding if it fails to complay up comply with
federal transportation rules. But it's still very very slow to
act if they're going to do anything at all. And
(01:42:43):
then we look at the UK. Instead of deporting the
Epping child sex abuser, he's free. And again Epping is
a place some of people are going to say the
fing child abuser and there were riots and other issues
about that, and they arrested the sky and then they
(01:43:07):
let him loose, and there was video of this. The guy,
the perp, was actually surprised that the prison officials were
letting him loose. He tried repeatedly to go back and prison.
Then they wuldn't love it. So a migrant sex attacker
who stayed at the Bell Hotel in Epping was accidentally
quote unquote released and is now wandering London streets. Police
(01:43:28):
are now looking for him. They say that he has
now been re arrested. But this is outside the Chelmsford prison.
A delivery driver who spoke to the wanted man outside
the prison has exclusively told Sky News that the offender
was confused about going on about being released, and that
(01:43:50):
he was guided to the railway station by prison staff.
Speaker 11 (01:43:54):
This sounds like a get out of here. You don't
want to deal with this if we lose you the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:44:00):
Yeah crazy, whoops.
Speaker 13 (01:44:01):
We let this child rapist go free. Our mistake. We
accidentally led him to the train station with an escort.
Speaker 11 (01:44:10):
Yeah, we bought a ticket, got him on the train.
Speaker 1 (01:44:14):
He's very confused. Nigel Ferraj says, rather than report this guy,
they freed him. Eye witness tells a telegraph the Epping
sex attacker attempted four or five times to re enter
the prison, but was turned away by the guards each time,
and then he was escorted to the rail station. He
was heard saying where am I going? What am I doing?
It sounds like officials are right on top of things.
(01:44:35):
Sarcasm of course. The blunder, if it was a blunder,
sparked a frantic man hunt for the Ethiopian national who
was at large in London. The criminal was spotted yesterday
brazenly sauntering along Chelmsford High Street before getting on a
train at Chelsford Railway station to London. Attentions are rising
(01:44:57):
in Epping, Essex, where angry locals are gathering outside the
Bell Hotel demanding deportation of all illegals. And so this
is after this guy was quote unquote accidentally released. And
so that's what Keir Starmer is saying. Yeah, he was
let loose, but it was an error. The mistaken release
(01:45:20):
at his Majesty's prison Chelmsford is totally unacceptable. The police
are working urgently to track him down. Yeah, well talking
about kitchen release. And then we have what is happening
here in America. We have in Chicago outrage after federal
agents used tear gas just before Halloween prayed in Old
(01:45:41):
Irving Park. I guess we know who the monsters are now, right?
These guys even come with their own masks. How about that?
Residents on Chicago's northwest Side expressed outrage tonight after federal
agents once again deployed chemical agents against protesters. This time,
it happened and his parents and children were heading to
a neighborhood Halloween park in the neighborhood started hearing some whistles,
(01:46:05):
and when I looked out, I saw two fully uniformed
Ice agents tackling a guy to the ground, literally in
my front yard right here. That man had been working
on a nearby house, and federal agents chased him down
and took him into custody. Hey, you know, so he's
doing yard work. What about the sixty plus thousand people
who are driving semi trailers? Why don't you chase them
(01:46:27):
down and get them off the roads. His brother said
that he was an undocumented immigrant who came to the
US with his family when he was four years old.
Within moments, angry neighbors poured out of their homes, joining
protesters blowing whistles who had been on patrol looking for
federal agents. And as angry agents residents shouted, federal agents
(01:46:50):
began lobbing tear gas. Just minutes before the schedule start
of an annual Halloween parade organized by the Park Association.
You had folks who were literally out on the street
take their kids to the Halloween parade when this happened.
I didn't see anybody with a weapon. I didn't see
anybody make physical contact with these agents. I didn't see
anybody do anything that justified taking my seventy year old
(01:47:11):
neighbor to the ground. He said. His seventy year old
neighbor was also arrested and taken into custody. After a
half hour, the agents got in their cars and drove away.
The Halloween party was held, but neighbors say many people
stayed home. I was pretty upset, to be honest with you.
I'm an attorney I used to work with and in
law enforcement, said the guy they interviewed. Watching this happen
in my front yard was not something I ever thought
(01:47:34):
was going to come to my front door. But here
we are. That's right, when you put this stuff in,
it winds up coming back around. Well, you have GOP
representatives calling for an immigration review of mom Danny and
omar So, the first immigration case of at New York
City mayoral front runner Mom Danny may have to confront
(01:47:58):
if election and elected be his own as two House
Republicans pushed the Justice Department to probe his path to
citizenship and possibly boot him from the US. And again,
this is because he is an outspoken Muslim. Randy Fine,
when I look at this, I mean, we've had a
lot of communists. There's been a long string of communists
(01:48:18):
elected in New York as mayors, and you go back
and look at the Blasio. This is the guy who
honeymooned in Cuba, just like Bernie Sanders. So we've had
a lot of these types of people in the past.
The thing that is really getting them upset is the
fact that mom Danny. Danny is not just a Communist,
but he's a Muslim. And that's why Randy Fine is
involved on this. Randy Fine is an israel First congressman.
(01:48:41):
So they're looking to get these people a probe of them.
And of course we know that ilhan Omar, in her
entire family came from Somalia, violating the law. It's not
even a question. There was a law saying that if
you are a member of the Communist Party, you're not
eligible to become an American citizen. Worked for the Smalley
(01:49:01):
government and was an open communist doing that. So they
lied about that. She lied about her relationship with her
brother and so forth, a whole pack of lies and
how they got in. I'm fine with them looking at
these politicians and kicking them out, but I really am
amazed at how much press has been devoted and angst
(01:49:22):
has been devoted to this New York City mayoral election.
I gave up on New York City a long time ago.
I think most Americans did. I just frankly don't understand
why it is such a big deal there when you
look at the string of mayors that they've had, people
like Michael Bloomberg and Deblasio and everything. These people are
really serious criminals, and we should be very concerned about
(01:49:45):
the kinds of programs that they could possibly model for
the rest of the country. Again, it was a City
kan of London the mayor, and Bloomberg the Mayor of
New York who put together that c forty's initiative. It
was initially forty cities that we're going to tell you
that you can only have three items of clothing a year,
that you can only take three flights of less one
(01:50:07):
flight every three years of less than one thousand miles,
that you couldn't have meat, you couldn't have dairy, and
on and on and on. All this green agenda. That
kind of stuff is very dangerous. And I understand that
the big cities like New York as well as like California,
can affect the rest of the country with their policies. However,
the real issue that they have with Mom Danny is
(01:50:31):
that he's very frank with them about what he has
to say, comes across as being very authentic. That's the problem,
and they don't want to debate him on policies because
people have forgotten how to do that. The response says, well,
let's not debate him, let's deport him. You know. It's
just like Trump's response about the terrorists. The government shutdown
is not stopping Trump from amassing emergency powers, says Reason.
(01:50:55):
As of mid twenty twenty five, there are roughly fifty
d simultaneous national emergencies and force think about that, that, folks,
is the national emergency. The fact that there are fifty
national emergencies out there, and the fact that these presidents
can declare these emergencies and then declare themselves to be
(01:51:19):
effectively in charge of martial law. They use the emergencies
to shut down the normal processes and then say, now
I can do whatever I want. I can declare the emergency,
and then that gives me power to do whatever I
want rather than martial law. I guess we've got executive law.
And you can put the law in air quotes because
it's not law at all. It just dictates. Usually when
(01:51:42):
we're in the midst of our government shutdown, says the
Reason calumnists here, I'm in a great mood. But even
this small pleasure has turned sour. Yes, fiscal restraints matter.
It matters to this magazine, which has which is made
cutting spending the subject of a greater percentage of our
cover stories and perhaps any other publication. But the intense
(01:52:03):
acceleration of the quest to aggregate powers in the White
House is now unambiguously the more immediate threat to liberty.
It's viable every day, or rather visible every day on
my commute to work as a National Guardsman linger at
my DC metro stop. It's visible in the September gathering
of the nation's top military officials for something between a
(01:52:26):
PEP rally and a company retreat. It's visible everywhere Immigration
and Customs enforcement is staging raids and setting up warrantless checkpoints.
It's visible. And the administration's moves to take a stake
and intel and to broker a TikTok sale. And he says,
the Cato Institute's gene Healey wrote the Bible on the
(01:52:46):
Imperial presidency, tracing how voters of all stripes invest outsized
hopes and presidents and then act shocked when presidents behave
like tyrants. The durable lesson here is don't confer powers
on your team's guy that you wouldn't want, you wouldn't
trust in the other team's hands. And of course I've
(01:53:07):
been saying this for the longest time. You know, when
I was a kid, we used to say, hey, somebody
complain it, don't make a federal case out of it, right,
And you know, we don't say it's a free country,
right when somebody says going to do that, well, it's
a free country, do what you want. We don't say that. Instead,
everything is made a federal case. It's just why it's
no longer a free country. And everybody is looking to
(01:53:31):
government to solve all their problems, and worse than that,
they're looking to government in Washington to solve all their problems.
And then they think that their guy can act like
a dictator, but they don't like it when the other
guy acts as a dictator. National security and federal property
protection exceptions have become a tunnel that is wide enough
(01:53:52):
to drive an armored personnel carrier through. Again, when we
look at national security, that has been their trump card,
so to speak, for a long time. National Security and
the drug war are the excuses that they used to
do anything, and the excuses that they used to keep
everything secret from us, and they're not about what they
(01:54:14):
say they're going to do. National security does not provide
national security for US. National security gets us involved in
every fight across the globe. It endangers us. Just like
the drug war is actually creating the drugs and trafficking
the drugs. Our own government is doing that. The federal
government claims sweeping authority within a one hundred mile border
zone that covers two thirds of the areas where Americans live.
(01:54:40):
So the emergency now is the default. Most of the
knobs and lovers that a modern president uses to bully companies,
police speech, or move bodies around are not new laws.
They are stand by powers that switch on with a
magic word emergency. Emergency, And so you know, we go
to the I got this in here, I think, Man,
(01:55:02):
I guess we don't have that anymore. Huh, Yeah, here
we go.
Speaker 7 (01:55:07):
Everybody who gets from city.
Speaker 1 (01:55:10):
Emergency, Yeah, there we go Okay, that's that's the way
they operate. Just repeat along with me, emergency emergency. That's
the incoming Trump administration being trained there by a Russian
uh mehregency. That's right, a single word emergency. Congress littered
(01:55:32):
the US Code with these shortcuts. The Brennan Center for
Justice has cataloged one hundred and thirty seven statutory powers
that spring to life the moment a president declares one.
As of mid twenty twenty five, there's roughly fifty simultaneous
national emergencies still in force. They are renewed annually, and
they span everything from sanctions to tariffs. I still wanted
(01:55:55):
Congress to do his job on spending, to legislate clearly
to spend less and the club delegations that it never
should have handed over to the executive branch. The remedy
isn't complicated, but it is hard to execute, especially when
you have a sycophant like Mike Johnson and the rest
of the Republicans there except for Thomas Massey and now
perhaps Marjorie Taylor Green. So Congress must take back its
(01:56:20):
rifle powers. It must narrow emergency authorities, It must sunset
delegations and relearn the civic discipline of saying no to
our own would be redeemers, even if they are on
our own team, at least for now, right, And we'll
see what happens after that. Well, in terms of this
(01:56:41):
tear gassing that happened in the Chicago neighborhood, ICE has
got a program for that. They have been massively investing
in weapons. The weapons purchasing has jumped by sevenfold. And
a large part of this is that big beautiful bill
that Trump want it pushed through. That again, he's angry
(01:57:02):
at Thomas Massey for not pushing that through for him.
Spending in the small arms ordnance and ordnance successories manufacturing
category surged by roughly seven hundred percent compared to a
year ago. From January the twentieth through October the eighteenth,
ICE spent approximately seventy one and a half million dollars
on small arms. By contrast, during the same period in
(01:57:25):
twenty twenty four, the spending was only nine point seven million.
Now you might think, well, this is just the difference
between Biden and Trump. Well, that was what that was
under Biden. But they went back and they said, when
you look at what ICE was spending in twenty nineteen,
the middle of the Trump administration, they spent five point
seven million on small arms, and here that has gone
(01:57:48):
now in the second Trump administration, from five point seven
to seventy one point five million. The average ICE spending
on small arms during Trump's first four years was about
eight point four million, So again the spending of Biden
was about the same or slightly higher. During the first
(01:58:08):
four years of Trump, it was eight point four million.
Last year Biden spent nine point seven but then it
exploded to nearly seventy two. ICE's leadership pushed back on
several report's findings, particularly jarring procurement records that referenced missiles.
ICE describes claims that the agency's spending included guided missile
(01:58:31):
warheads and explosives were falts. Wired magazine reported that the
procurement record described the payment as quote multiple distraction devices
unquote for ICE operations and the suppliers. CEO said the
missiles label quote appears to be an error. The same
surgeon weaponry has coincided with a wave of violent encounters
(01:58:53):
between ICE officers and civilians. It has sparked lawsuits, local investigations,
and growing publiclash and that's really what this No King's
thing was a result of. Republicans are kidding themselves if
they think that this is an AstroTurf SOROWS operation, It wasn't.
Calls for greater oversight, including mandatory body cameras, are now
(01:59:15):
gaining traction. So I spent a lot of money on
body cameras. That should solve it, except they know how
to turn them off. Right, So they said that these
tactics of control weapons like pepper prey and tear gas
are routinely used against protesters and journalists in a troubling
pattern of a crackdown on free speech and freedom of
(01:59:38):
the press. Well where did that come from? That kind
of rot comes from the top. Just take a look
at who's president. Look at his contempt for free speech
and for a free press. That's how he began the program. Today,
Ellis said she was profoundly concerned that her order was
not being followed as a judge who put a temporary
(01:59:59):
restraining order limiting the use of pepper spray and tear gas.
But they're going to continue to double down on that
because they want to have a war again. Multiplying the
he multiplied the former eight billion dollar annual budget more
than twentyfold. Therefore, ICE went up to one hundred and
(02:00:19):
seventy billion from eight billion, just like Biden did with
the IRS, except this is an even bigger leap all
at once. The Framers never envisioned the powers exercise to
a standing domestic police force with open ended jurisdiction inside
the country, but today the government expands the authority into
(02:00:39):
an apparatus with unprecedented militarized and digital capabilities. The founders
would have recognized that not as protection, but as consolidation.
And I say they would have recognized it for what
it is, a threat. This is coming from New America,
and I'm glad to see they're doing articles about They've
always in the past been really hyper focused on not
(02:01:03):
federalizing and not militarizing the police. And as this is happening,
we have Florida now actively involved in scrubbing the arrest
records of citizens because it's not just illegal aliens that
are being arrested by ICE. ICE doesn't have the authority
to arrest Americans, but they're doing it, and so as
a result, it's an embarrassment to Florida as well as
(02:01:24):
to the FEDS. So they're working to get these things
moved off. They had have been reported that the database
showed twenty one US citizens arrested in charge in Florida.
Nine other US citizens had encounters with law enforcement, but
we're not arrested. They have now changed that, so the
twenty one arrests there's now only one that shows up,
(02:01:47):
and out of the nine encounters, only two of those
shows So they're scrubbing the database. This is the hall
mark of tyranny, right memory holding the information. And so
when we look at this, they won't stop lying about
who they are arresting and what they are doing. And
(02:02:08):
as one reporter said, I've never seen I've always seen
government lie about what they do, but I've never seen
this kind of arrogant attitude where they apply to us
your mama, you know when they do this, and they
lie and they never correct it when they do it.
And so when we look at this, this is we're
going to just play one more video here and then
(02:02:30):
we're going to go to our guest, who is ready,
and we're going to talk about what is happening in
Nigeria with Christians. He's very knowledgeable about what is happening there.
But I just want to play this for you. This
is the Ice storm Troopers. Remember we had the it ends.
This clip ends with a guy who is following the
(02:02:51):
military around the city playing the Empire Strikes Back Imperial March.
They arrested him. He's now suing them for false arrest
because he is entitled to do a peaceful protest, which
is what that was.
Speaker 8 (02:03:05):
Help you, Hey, yeah, no, I'm just out here.
Speaker 6 (02:03:07):
I live in the community. I'm trying to see what
you guys are doing. I do have ideed. Who are
you guys with?
Speaker 8 (02:03:12):
Is the reason why you're impeding investigation?
Speaker 1 (02:03:14):
I'm not impeding.
Speaker 8 (02:03:15):
I was just driving in the neighborhoodybody hawking the horn.
Speaker 20 (02:03:18):
Yeah, we're letting people know because people are going through intersections.
Speaker 6 (02:03:22):
Some out here at twenty third in Lombard.
Speaker 1 (02:03:24):
Is the reason why you're wearing a mask in addition
to military uniform here identification on you? Yeah, you see it?
Speaker 6 (02:03:30):
Do you guys have a badge number or a name?
Speaker 5 (02:03:32):
You don't know that?
Speaker 6 (02:03:34):
I don't need Why Why don't I need any of that?
I do you guys need my idea?
Speaker 1 (02:03:38):
See, these guys don't need ID. You need ID?
Speaker 13 (02:03:40):
Right, you guys are going through a neighborhood and you
guys are stopping people on the street with no reason,
following us all right, otherwise we're going to.
Speaker 1 (02:03:50):
Arrested for impeding it. I'm not impeeding.
Speaker 8 (02:03:52):
You know it's in the first warning and last morning.
Speaker 6 (02:03:54):
Okay, you got the what are your guys names?
Speaker 1 (02:03:56):
Right here?
Speaker 6 (02:03:57):
Do you guys have a name for the name?
Speaker 1 (02:04:04):
I'm not having it next time, will beat you or
kill you?
Speaker 6 (02:04:06):
Right, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 21 (02:04:08):
I was arrested on Sunday at the protest down at
the Ice Building. I was playing with the Unpresidented band
on my clarinet and I was arrested by she.
Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
Was protesting with a clarinet.
Speaker 21 (02:04:19):
Then Sunday night, I was transported to me.
Speaker 1 (02:04:21):
She was using a bagpipe. I could understand it, but
she was playing a clarinet.
Speaker 21 (02:04:24):
Ddy have been there until this morning when I was
transported back here and I had my court first appearance
with the judge. I'm having a lot of different feelings.
I'm feeling super grateful to be out and back with
my family, and so happy and excited to see my
three year old.
Speaker 22 (02:04:43):
I get emotional easily, so really looking forward to seeing her.
The staff turning and yeah, also still having some you know,
fear and sadness around the charge that was given to me,
and I know it's going.
Speaker 21 (02:04:55):
To be a fight for the next couple of months
to yeah, in the the legal system.
Speaker 1 (02:05:16):
This is my favorite protest. I could say myself doing.
Speaker 11 (02:05:21):
This and those listening, he's just following them around.
Speaker 1 (02:06:13):
Yeah, as I said, I could see myself during this
kind of protest because when I went to Bilderburg and
we couldn't get anywhere close to these guys, couldn't see
anything that's happening because they had you know, they're so
far remote from where we were, they had it all
blocked out. We had got the bullhorn and played the
mundy Python thing, Henry Kissinger, We're missing you, you know,
(02:06:35):
the diplomat of our dreams, with your glassy stare and
your curly hair, let's see and your Machiavilian schemes line.
So we played that as loudly as we could at
the people there who are attending Builderberg. But we're going
to take a quick break and we're going to come
back and we're going to talk to a filmmaker and evangelist,
(02:06:57):
Judd Saul, who felt called to do something about the
suffering that he saw of Christians in Nigeria after he
visited them in two thousand and eleven. He has a
news organization that focuses on this. I talk about it
from time to time, but we want to talk about
it a little bit more. And I just want to
as we take a break, I've got a clip here
(02:07:21):
that I wanted to play about really what matters, And
this is one guy talking about My dad used to
always say, we'll never know the difference in one hundred years.
You know, we talk to somebody get upset about something,
it won't matter to you and one hundred years. And
he's right about that. But there are some things that
will matter in one hundred years. And we should ask
(02:07:41):
ourselves why these people in Nigeria are willing to go
through this hardship when they know that they'll be killed
for their faith in Christ.
Speaker 5 (02:07:50):
One hundred years from now, all of us will be dead.
Someone else is going to be living inside of your house.
The car that you drive is.
Speaker 1 (02:07:57):
Going to be scrap metal.
Speaker 5 (02:07:58):
Everything that you work so hard to build God given away, forgotten,
and your name will completely fade away within just a
couple generations.
Speaker 1 (02:08:07):
Think about that.
Speaker 5 (02:08:08):
Do you know your great grandparents full name, their story,
anything about them. This should make you realize that ninety
nine percent of the worries that fill your mind every
day are completely pointless.
Speaker 23 (02:08:22):
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the son of Man be lifted up,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life. But these are written that you might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and
that believing he might have life through his name.
Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, welcome
back and joining us now is a filmmaker and evangelist
jud Saul and his organization is Equipping the Persecute. You
can find the website at Equippingthepersecuted dot org and that
(02:10:41):
is the main site. And from that they have set
up another site that's focused strictly on what is happening
in Nigeria because there's so much that is happening there.
It's called truth in Truth Nigeria dot com. And so
you can find out what is happening that we wanted
to get it straight from Judd tell us a bit
about this. I see that you went in twenty eleven
(02:11:04):
and you first saw what was happening there, and that's
fourteen years this has been going on now. But tell
us what you saw that got you activated?
Speaker 6 (02:11:12):
Well?
Speaker 8 (02:11:12):
What I saw that got me activated?
Speaker 20 (02:11:14):
So I went first to Nigeria with my grandfather, who
was an evangelist and wanted to heard stories about Nigeria,
wanted to go help serve on the mission. And when
I got there, people were telling us about these attacks
that have been going on against them in their communities.
And I personally saw the aftermath of some of these
(02:11:36):
attacks when I was there, and it always just like.
Speaker 8 (02:11:41):
It just struck me to my core.
Speaker 20 (02:11:43):
Yeah, I bet, I was like, And I kept on
asking questions. I was like, what are people doing about this?
What are other missionaries? Are there any other organizations doing
something about this?
Speaker 8 (02:11:52):
What can be done?
Speaker 20 (02:11:54):
So over the years, I kept on serving with this
other mission I was working with, But then in twenty nineteen,
I started equipping and persecuted because frankly I'd had enough.
I've talked to pastors and other missionaries and other people there.
I said, what if we created an organization that actually
wants to stop the persecution. What if we had an
organization that trained village security teams. What if we had
(02:12:17):
an organization that responds to these attacks within forty eight
hours and they said we need this yesterday, When can
we start? So that's what started equipping and persecuted because
I looked around and I saw that very few people
were actually trying to do something about the situation. A
lot of people talking, but no action on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:12:34):
That's right, because the government doesn't want to stop this.
I mean, the government is kind of a silent partner
in all this. From what I've been able to see,
is that right? Would you say the government there?
Speaker 20 (02:12:45):
You're yeah, well, in particular, well, we there was President
good Luck Jonathan who was Christian that was trying to
use Nigerian resources to fight Bolkaharam and fight the Falani terrorists.
But then what happened was when Obama came into office,
(02:13:06):
he then started sending Democrat operatives to Nigeria to get
Muslim presidents elected over Christian presidents. And when you saw
the Muslim president's take over, you saw the killing increase exponentially.
Speaker 1 (02:13:20):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, I guess it was appropriately named good
Luck Jonathan. I'm going to stop the Muslims killing Christians.
Good luck, Jonathan.
Speaker 24 (02:13:32):
Well, yes, well, so you know, so what's been going
on is is before it would be like you'd have
a Christian president, Muslim vice president, Muslim president, Christian vice president.
Speaker 20 (02:13:44):
But in the last three presidential terms, what you've had
is a Muslim Muslim ticket and the government has been
laying cover for the terrorists and turning a blind eye
to the killing and pretending it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (02:13:59):
And so that was Obama influenced. And so you could
have a positive influence as well from the US, but
that's not there. I want to focus more on what
you actually do in terms of equipping the persecuted. I
heard you talk about emergency response teams, talking about village security.
Tell us a little bit about those things.
Speaker 20 (02:14:19):
So currently the Nigerian government, you have the police, you
have the military, which are all nationalized, they're all run
by the Nigeria government. Well, what the Nigerian government did
do is recognize village security teams. They're called vigilani. Now,
vigilani in the US has a negative connotation, but the
word vigilani has a positive connotation in Nigeria. And so
(02:14:42):
these are people that are from their local villages that
get together to defend their villages or the first line
of defense. But they get no arms, they get no training,
they get no funding. And we've taken upon our ministry
to come alongside them and say, you know what, We'll
give you some training. How about we give you some
rad some locally sourced bulletproof vests, things that you can
(02:15:04):
do to try to help defend your village. We can't
get in the arms business, but what we can do
is come alongside them and give them training in some
basic materials to help save lives.
Speaker 1 (02:15:13):
That's good. Yeah, Yeah, what we call that here in
the US instead of vinchelinings, we would call it a posse.
But of course they would be armed in order to
be able to do something about it, and that is
not allowed there, I understand, and certainly your organization could
not provide that. What about a quick response team after
something like this has happened. Of course that's going to
be medical care and other things.
Speaker 20 (02:15:34):
Yeah, so what happens is, you know, the Fulani come in.
Let's say it's a town of one thousand, fifteen hundred.
They'll come in, start shooting, start funneling people in and
kill as many as they can. But then you have
a lot of survivors that are no longer allowed to
return to their homes because the Felane have decimated everything.
(02:15:58):
They've burned the houses down, down, all the crops, they
raise everything.
Speaker 1 (02:16:02):
Wow.
Speaker 20 (02:16:04):
And then all these people are put into these camps. Well,
they don't have any food, they don't have any clothing,
they don't have any shelter. And so we try to
within forty eight hours is deploy food, aid and medicine
within these attacks. And many times we come across a
lot of wounded victims that haven't been treated, people that
have had bullets in their arms and in their bodies
(02:16:25):
for over forty eight hours, that need medical care and surgery,
and we come alongside pay for those medical costs and
try to help the wounded.
Speaker 1 (02:16:32):
Wow, that's very important. You know, we get frustrated because
it's like, you know, nobody is talking about this and
certainly nobody's doing anything about it, and you know, it
is somewhat difficult. I'm sure that there's lovers that could
be pulled if Trump wanted to do anything about it,
but the US government typically doesn't. Now Obama did. When
you look at these these people, they push, they push
(02:16:55):
the Muslims in there. But is there also a Marxist
component to this as well? I it's mostly just.
Speaker 20 (02:17:05):
I would I would say there's a hint of that
creeping in a little nationalized things. UH do that, but
I see more of traditional Islam one on one UH.
Dominance is what's is what's driving this force now. The
Nigerian government lately has been very cozy to the Chinese,
(02:17:25):
while the Biden administration and the US government's turned to
blind eye to Nigeria on a lot of things. The
Chinese are filling that void, providing a lot of money.
They're sending in UH, some of their politics in but
they're also capitalizing on, I would say, on the crisis
because what we're seeing now is Chinese minds sprouting up
(02:17:45):
on what we're wanting Christian.
Speaker 8 (02:17:47):
Lands and they're illegally mining.
Speaker 20 (02:17:51):
And you know, the terrorists aren't aren't killing the Chinese
because they're probably taking some money on the back end
for allowing the Chinese to mine in these areas.
Speaker 1 (02:18:00):
That's right, Wow, I just say that just recently. This
is on the on Saturday the twenty fifth, Christians urged
to pray as an American missionary pilot Kevin right Out
was a duct and niger. This is very dangerous work
that you do, isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 20 (02:18:18):
Yeah, we're praying for praying for that pilot. I have
some friends that are within that mission's organization and I
called them and asked him about that specific situation, and
so far, there's been no ransom asked for. What we
think is happening is that they kidnapped him and they're
using the pilot to do things for them. They don't
(02:18:39):
want to ransom them out. They want to essentially turn
him into a slave for doing what their work is.
Speaker 8 (02:18:44):
That's what I'm That's what I'm hearing on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:18:46):
Oh okay, because.
Speaker 20 (02:18:47):
There has been no ransom called yet for that gentleman,
and it's very dangerous. We have to travel with armed
security wherever we go in Nigeria, we have armed security teams.
And we know, especially now I've been speaking out against
what's going on in Nigeria publicly, you know there's more
of a risk there. But we go by God's grace
and his mercy and protection.
Speaker 1 (02:19:09):
Well, good for you. It's fearless and that's what people
of faith should be should be fearless. I played the
clip before you came on of a pastor there, and
we've seen so many videos on social media of the
mass funerals that are being held with all the bodies
that are there. Because the killing has been just astounding
(02:19:31):
and it's is it increasing or how would you characterize
it recently?
Speaker 6 (02:19:36):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (02:19:36):
No, the killings increase this year.
Speaker 20 (02:19:38):
Before it would be between four to five thousand Christians
killed per year.
Speaker 1 (02:19:41):
Wow.
Speaker 20 (02:19:42):
But this year, since January one, there's been over seven
thousand Christians that have been killed.
Speaker 1 (02:19:46):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 20 (02:19:48):
The attacks are ramping up and the government, Nigerian government
turning a blind eye to it or I would just
say they're complicit and the mainstream media is laying cover
for it as well.
Speaker 1 (02:19:58):
Wow. Yeah, it absolutely is a case of genocide. And
of course that's what Bill Maher said, and he was right.
We've been talking about it here as well. But they're
very selective about what they're concerned about. And as we
see mentioned China coming in there, we see all the
time people would talk about what the Chinese are doing
to the Muslim wigers that are there, or they talk
(02:20:19):
about what they're doing to the following Gong, but rarely
do they talk about what's being done to the Christians
in China and so, you know China, this is par
for the course for China coming in as you point out,
in Nigeria doing a deal with the government and putting
minds on the land of the Christian villagers who have
been killed in their homes have been destroyed and that
(02:20:41):
type of thing. It is truly amazing. Tell us what
else you are involved in outside of Nigeria or is
there more that you want to talk about with Nigeria.
Speaker 20 (02:20:50):
Well, primarily my full time work since twenty nineteen has
been focused on Nigeria and in trying to raise awareness
but all so help the people on the ground.
Speaker 8 (02:21:01):
We got.
Speaker 20 (02:21:03):
One of the figures that we have I haven't pointed
out to you, is that there's between three point five
million and five million Christians that have been removed from
their homes, that are living in camps well, that are
suffering from disease, starvation and just awful conditions and they
haven't been able to return back to their homes because
the Flani Muslim terrorists have squatted on their land and
(02:21:27):
if these Christians go back, they get killed.
Speaker 1 (02:21:29):
Wow, that is amazing. Yeah, the Republicans are not interested
in this. Of course the Democrats were in terms of
equipping the Muslims to do this kind of persecution, but
the Republicans are just you know, I guess looking elsewhere
with all.
Speaker 20 (02:21:43):
This, we are gaining a little headway with Republicans, but
there's we're fighting a war of narratives. I think there
are people, there are some in the Republican Party that
are capitalizing off of off of the well, they don't
(02:22:03):
want to solve the they don't want to solve the problem.
I think they're capitalizing on the back end. And we
have other Republicans that are coming up and calling for
US intervention on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria. But
there is a battle, in a war of words and
a war of narratives we're fighting against, and there is
a genocide against Christians in Nigeria. The the the We
(02:22:25):
have some Republicans and the Democrats obviously repeating Muslim talking
points from Nigeria that there is no crisis, there is
no genocide. It's bandits or these unknown gunmen. Everybody refuses
to name who's doing the killing. Yeah, and it's Muslims
killing Christians.
Speaker 1 (02:22:42):
Yeah, well, of course, as my producer says, we're too
busy blowing up boats to worry about Christians being genocided.
That's I guess, Yeah, what's happening here. We have our
different areas that we're interested in, and we have our
our areas that we have some financial interest in. China
course is taking an entry. They're looking at getting minerals
(02:23:02):
out of this area. But my producer also says, what
about providing them with three D printers where they could
make their own weapons because they't have to have electricity.
Do they have electricity in these villages?
Speaker 20 (02:23:14):
No, that's the problem. Now, that's the problem. Like, we
have solutions, but they don't have the power. They don't
have the power source to be able to do these things. Power,
especially in these areas. They're lucky if there is a
line run to their communities, they're lucky it runs ten
percent of the time. They're lucky to have power maybe
ten percent of the time. The rest is just blackout.
(02:23:35):
It's awful.
Speaker 1 (02:23:36):
Wow, talk to me as an evangelist. I mean, what
is it like talking to somebody in an area where
there's this kind of a persecution for becoming a Christian?
I mean, that's like a death sentence. I would imagine
that'd be a pretty big obstacle to overcome when you're
talking to somebody about Christ.
Speaker 20 (02:23:53):
Well, actually, it's not as hard as you think, because
when you have people that are already living in abject poverty
and then everything getting totally taken or away from.
Speaker 8 (02:24:02):
Them, you come in meeting the needs.
Speaker 20 (02:24:05):
Presented with the gospel. People are very willing to hear
and they accept it. And the Christians that are murdered
for their faith, that refuse to convert to Islam, have
a real sense of Christianity that I wish most Americans.
Speaker 8 (02:24:21):
Most Americans couldn't understand.
Speaker 1 (02:24:23):
Yeah, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 20 (02:24:26):
Where they get up in the morning thanking God, thank
you for letting me, thank you for allowing me another
breath today, thank you for allowing me to live, and
they get up going Lord, we're relying on you for sustenance.
They have no choice but to rely on God. But
they stay faithful to the end, and that's what keeps
me motivated, keeps me coming back, and that testimony actually, really.
Speaker 8 (02:24:49):
It makes it easy to share the gospel of these people.
Speaker 20 (02:24:52):
And even the ones that are nominal not fully saved,
We've even seen Muslims come to know Christ because they've
seen our kindness, They've seen how we treat one another
and we come to care for them. And we've seen
many Muslims come to Christ through this mission. Just because
we're shedding, we're shining a light into the darkness.
Speaker 1 (02:25:14):
That's great. Yeah, yeah, we have this life of comfort,
which is not conducive to a Christian life. Really, it's
you know, when we when we're struggling with hardship, that
makes Christ so much more precious and we see Him
working in different ways in our life like that, and
(02:25:34):
that is something that many people in the West, the
affluence gets in the way of us being able to
see that. And when you're living hand and mouth like that,
you really can see it. Do they speak English?
Speaker 8 (02:25:50):
Most of them?
Speaker 6 (02:25:50):
Do?
Speaker 8 (02:25:50):
The educated Nigerian speak English.
Speaker 20 (02:25:52):
You have a lot of people in the rural communities
that only have their tribal language that they know. They
know some English, but majority of the country does speak English.
Speaker 1 (02:26:02):
So what about Bibles and things like that, most of
it is done in English or do you have it
in the tribal languages as well?
Speaker 20 (02:26:09):
We have it in English, but then we have bibles
printed in I say, they're dominant tribal language. So a
lot of the area we work in is Hausa, and
so we have Bibles printed and Hausa that we give
to these people and then Filani converts Falani Muslim converts,
that converts Christianity. We have the Bible printed in their
language and given to them, and so, you know, with
(02:26:33):
technology and the way things are, we're able to get
the Bible translated into several different tribal languages and we
get them out there. But if they know English, we
give them English Bible. If they don't, we give them
a Bible in their translation.
Speaker 1 (02:26:43):
Talk to us little bit about the Filani tribesmen. Of
course I see that phrase all the time. But you know,
where are these people coming from? Are they Nigerian or
are they coming from another area trying to take over
areas of Nigeria? What's going on with the Filani another
Muslim Flani?
Speaker 20 (02:26:57):
You So the Falani are not indigenous to Nigeria. They're
coming from way up North Africa, from the Sahel, so
Nijer Chad. They're nomadic herders and they've worked their way
south and going into Nigeria and wherever these guys end up.
They end up taking territory, killing and continuing to gain
(02:27:21):
political power. They're a conquering tribe, but they do it
through Islam, I just call it. They start with cultural jihad,
where they move in, they become neighbors, they do business,
kids go to school together. Then when they get the
population and the political power, then they start the killing.
And then they keep working their way further south and
doing that. And so they're they're not indigenous to Nigeria.
(02:27:44):
They're they're an invading tribe.
Speaker 1 (02:27:46):
That seems to be an established pattern for a Muslim conquest,
isn't it. You know, coming in and gradually, you know,
as you start to accumulate your numbers, you come in
peacefully at first. Talk about Boko Haram, and of course
we've heard about them for quite some time, attacking and
kidnapping girls out of schools because they don't want girls
reading anything and getting educated. But give us an idea
(02:28:10):
of where they're coming from and what they're about.
Speaker 8 (02:28:13):
Bokharama also Filani.
Speaker 1 (02:28:15):
Oh, it's the same thing.
Speaker 8 (02:28:16):
If they're Filani, they're but they're just there.
Speaker 20 (02:28:18):
They've they've there's you know how radical Islam they have
different groups that sprout up. So one is not as
hardcore as the other one in their Islam.
Speaker 8 (02:28:29):
And they have rival groups.
Speaker 20 (02:28:30):
So you have ices of West Africa, you have Boka Haam,
but they're all Filani and they practice a Sunni hobbyist
form of Islam, which is a very radical Saudi Arabian
form of Islam. Right, and then you know they kind
of battle it out here and there. But then the
Filani that aren't necessarily affiliated with ICEWAP or Boka Haram
(02:28:52):
still coordinate together to go kill and take over more territory.
Speaker 1 (02:28:56):
Well wow, so sometimes they have.
Speaker 20 (02:28:59):
Their they have their little spats you know, uh, you know,
ones not as radical as the other. So we got
to fight each other over here, but they still systematically
conquer as they go.
Speaker 1 (02:29:09):
Yeah wow, So, well hobbyists not not the Sunnies or
the Shiahs, but they're more like the Saudis. So imagine
a lot of you know, the Sharia law with beheadings
and mutilation over theft and all the rest of the
stuff that is there, as well as the uh, you know,
putting hoods on women and all the rest of this. So,
(02:29:31):
so how can people support you? Then go to the
website and they can get information about what you're doing
and how they can support you.
Speaker 20 (02:29:39):
Yeah, you can go to Equipping the Persecuted dot Org.
Partner with our organization. We need all the help we
can get. Like I said, our resources are need as
great resources are small. We're doing everything we can to
help out our persecuted brothers and sisters. And then if
you want information up to date news on what's going
on in Nigeria, go to truth Nigeria dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:29:59):
Well, I really I appreciate what you're doing, and it
really is important. I mean there is other than you know,
talking to politicians and complaining about what politicians are doing
or not doing. You are actually getting in there and
helping the people who have been attacked, who have been
you know, families that have been physically attacked, that people
have been shot, give them medical care, to help to
(02:30:20):
rebuild their houses, I guess as well as part of that,
and that is really a key thing. And of course
equipping them with a kind of a warning system since
they're not allowed to defend themselves in that country. But
thank you so much for what you're doing. And again
truth Nigeria dot com and Equipping the Persecuted dot org
(02:30:43):
are the places where people can find out about what
you're doing there before you leave. Though. You're a filmmaker,
so do you have a documentary about this that you
have done?
Speaker 20 (02:30:53):
So we've put out a few. We're working on putting
it together, a series of many documentaries about certain subjects
in night area. We put out one a few months
ago called the Father's Day Massacre which took which was
an attack that took place in June in Benway, Nigeria
on Father's Day where two hundred and eighty Christians were slaughtered.
(02:31:15):
Half of them were burned alive. The other half that
weren't burned alive were shot and hacked to death with
machetes trying to escape the fires. And that was a
very significant moment that we decided we needed to do
a you know, cover and show that show how horrific
(02:31:35):
that attack was, to let people know that this this
persecution is real and it's not just about it's not
just about banditry and farmer herd or conflict, that this
is a real genocide. And we put that out in June.
It's called the Father's Day Massacre. And then before that
I've done politically.
Speaker 1 (02:31:53):
Where can people find that is that on YouTube or it's.
Speaker 8 (02:31:56):
Right on our website Equipment and Persecuted dot org.
Speaker 1 (02:31:59):
Right, good, yes, well, it truly is amazing. And you know,
before you came in, I played the one guy who
was talking about one hundred years. We won't know anything
at all, but christ knows what they have done.
Speaker 8 (02:32:09):
Amen. Amen, Well, thank you, thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (02:32:18):
We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 1 (02:33:45):
Our peace president is not too interested in what is
happening to Christians in Nigeria. He's all about Gaza, and
he's all about war in Venezuela. And now you have
Maduro basically begging him to leave them alone and not
to attack. And then also then he follows it up
with a boast that we've got thousands of Russian anti
(02:34:06):
air missiles and they're moving them to the coast. They said,
we have deployed five thousand Russian made Igla s anti
aircraft missiles. These are from what people say, roughly equivalent
to the Stinger missiles. They remember the role that the
Stinger missiles had in Afghanistan and the defeat of the
(02:34:26):
Russians there. If you want to get into a sustained
griller war, asymmetric war, this is what we have to
look forward to. Because of Trump's ambitions, He's ordered an
unprecedented force build up in the Caribbean. They have just
added more warships to the build up of force there,
(02:34:47):
happening on the same weekend that we had the USS
nimits elsewhere in the South China Sea lost two planes
actually a jet and a helicopter lost them within thirty
minutes of each other, just a normal deployment out there.
So again, these warships are not there to fight drugs.
(02:35:08):
That is a really that is a personal and a
spiritual battle, your war on drugs. And we should remember
as Christians that our weapons are mighty, because when you're
talking about the pharmacia, when you're talking about drugs and
leucinogenics and things like this, the addictive drugs, that is
definitely a spiritual war. You're not going to fight that
(02:35:31):
spiritual war with battleships or with armored soldiers on the streets.
That's simply folly. It is an individual battle, unfortunately, that
people have to wage on their own. Trump said the
White House that Maduro is scared. He's offering us everything
to back off. But of course he's just like a
(02:35:54):
mafia don You know, look at this guy trying to
beg me off, but he goes because he doesn't want
to f around with the United States. Trump is just
a mafia don He's a thug, He's a bully. Back
in twenty twenty four, he admitted that he wanted Venezuela.
And again, this is when he was running for office,
(02:36:14):
just this last term, about a year ago. This is
what Trump had to say about Venezuela.
Speaker 4 (02:36:19):
How about with buying oil from Venezuela. When I left,
Venezuela was ready to collapse, we would have taken it over.
Speaker 19 (02:36:27):
We would have gotten all that oil.
Speaker 6 (02:36:28):
It would have been right next door.
Speaker 1 (02:36:31):
Yeah, what about that. You know they're about ready to
collapse and could have gotten all that oil. Yeah, tell
me that. It's about drugs. You know what they don't have.
They don't have fentanyl there, they don't have cocaine.
Speaker 12 (02:36:41):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:36:42):
They've got lots of oil, more of it than Saudi
Arabia does. Trump knows that, and he knows that he's
lying to people. So this weapon is typically compared to
the US Stinger missile can hit low flying aircraft, drones,
and helicopters at ranges reaching just a little less than
four mile. These short range missiles, however, will be no
(02:37:03):
match for large American warships, says zero Hedge, and certainly
not for the Ford carrier group that is said now
to be en route to there. Well, the reality is
is that an Argentine war, like most of these wars
that we have lost. Yes, Iraq and Afghanistan were no
match for our reaper drones and our war from the sky.
(02:37:27):
But then, of course if you want that oil there,
you're going to find that you're going to be drug
into an asymmetric war. How did that work out? You know,
in Afghanistan where they uses the Stinger missiles against the Russians,
both the US and Russia found out that they could
not contain an area with guerrilla warfare.
Speaker 3 (02:37:47):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:37:47):
We find this over and over again, and it applied
to us in Afghanistan, just like it applied to the Russians.
There was no American exceptionalism in Afghanistan, and there certainly
has been no American exceptionalism in these acometric wars that
we have lost, one after the other.
Speaker 11 (02:38:05):
It's also important to remember that old saying no plan
survives first contact with the enemy. They lay out all
these incredibly complex well we're going to go in here,
that's going to take two weeks. Within two weeks, we'll
have this, and then you know, the three days from then,
we'll have that. And they lay it out and they
structure it and they sell it to you like, oh,
we've got it all planned out. We know exactly how
this is going to happen. It never goes that.
Speaker 1 (02:38:25):
Way, never goes that way, that's right.
Speaker 11 (02:38:26):
Well, you know, I guess not two weeks is going
to be you know, two months? Okay, two years?
Speaker 1 (02:38:31):
How many asymmetric wars that we have to lose before
they get a clue. You know, it's happened over and
over again. Well, Lindsey Graham says that land strikes in
Venezuela are quote a real possibility amid rising tensions. And
as I pointed out last week, first you had Thomas
Massey say, well, look at here. This guy, this former
Navy seal that Trump wants to endorse to run against me.
(02:38:55):
He was a donor to Lindsey Graham, of all people.
Well then it got worse. Then we found out that
Trump's first event in terms of campaigning for somebody in
this upcoming midterm election cycle is going to be campaigning
for Lindsey Graham. So of course Trump and his hand
pick candidates are part of the military industrial complex pushing
(02:39:19):
for Lindsey Graham. Trump, by the way, is taking the
place of John McCain. You wanted a president John McCain,
you got him. He's right there, even putting out as
he's bombing Iran. Remember John McCain was at a rally
when he was running for president. He started chanting to
the tune of Barbara Ran from the Beach Boys. Bomb
Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran. Well, Trump actually put out
(02:39:42):
a video of that is b two bombers, bragging about that.
I still have that video. Play, yeah, I still got
it on Your mic is off, but yeah, go ahead
and play that. Yeah, this is a this is our
John McCain president. Now, this is John mc cane with
a big hairdoo. That's Donald Trump. You've still got Lindsey
(02:40:05):
Graham as a sidekick.
Speaker 11 (02:40:08):
The eternal Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 1 (02:40:10):
Yeah, the military industrial complex candidate here so yes has
been carrying out airstrikes against Venezuela and Colombian vessels. Lindsey
Graham said, the land strikes in Venezuela a significant isstallation
are a real possibility. Again, national securities, I said, and
(02:40:31):
the drug war. These types of things are the first
refuge of a political scoundrel. Not patriotism. But to refer
to national security and the drug war, there.
Speaker 11 (02:40:44):
Was a time when it wouldn't been patriotism. We would
have been burdened with a better class of criminal even.
Speaker 13 (02:40:51):
Right, America is now filled with people that would your microsoft.
Speaker 1 (02:40:55):
But yeah they're not even what did you say, lenz
get Your mic was off the people? Well I think
it still is off somehow. But anyway, the Lindsey Graham
is now cheerleading this. Of course, there are peas in
a pod, two people exactly like each other. Trump said
(02:41:19):
on Thursday that the drugs coming in by sea are
like five percent of what they were a year ago. Again,
he's going to continue with this narrative that the drugs
are coming from Venezuela. They're not coming from Venezuela. Nobody
ever said that drugs were coming from Venezuela, and everybody
that tracks it from the UN on saying they don't
do drugs out of Venezuela. It's just like Canada, you know,
(02:41:42):
he continued, relentlessly, Never would backtrack, never would tell you
the truth about the lies that fentanyl was coming from Canada.
Never did. And the drugs are not coming from Venezuela.
Is he wants the oil? He told you the truth
at one point. You should believe him. We know what
this is really about. Trump did not offer any evidence
to back up the claim, and members of Congress have
(02:42:03):
also said the administration has not provided sufficient evidence that
the targeted vehicles are carrying drugs. Well, so what if
they were, you still get to shoot them on site.
There's a thing called due process and the rule of law,
and the fact that even if they were convicted, it's
not a death penalty to smuggle this stuff. So he's
(02:42:25):
so Graham is trying to create a case for Trump
doing it now. He does not appeal to the law.
He does not appeal to the constitution. What he appeals
to is precedent. This is why it is so important
that we don't let these precedents stand. He said, well,
you know Bush went into Panama. Yeah, and that was
(02:42:46):
a criminal precedent if ever there was one. And Reagan
went into Grenada. So now we get to do this
as well, just like Steve Bannon saying, well, we don't
care what the Constitution says because and his reason that
Steve Bannon gave was that Trump is on a divine mission. Yeah,
(02:43:10):
he's our Messiah. I guess I'm so disgusted with Mannon.
He doesn't care about the Constitution, he doesn't care about Christ,
and it disgusts me, makes me want to throw up
when I see these people wrap themselves in the flag,
talk about the Constitution, talk about Christ, and using it
to accomplish their nefarious purposes. Both the Constitution and Christ
(02:43:34):
are against what you're doing. Steve Bannon and Donald Trump,
don't kid yourself. There's no requirement for Congress to declare
war before the commander in chief can use force, said
Graham again, just flat out lying, just like Steve Bannon.
Panama and Grenada are two examples. See, we did it,
we got away with it, and so now it doesn't
matter what the Constitution says. So think Seth has announced
(02:43:57):
another NARCO boat attack after Trump insists no declaration of
war is needed. I remember time and Conservatives talked about
this over and over again. Al Gore was saying, well,
there's no controlling legal authority here. And the context to
which he said that was not anything as nearly as
serious as mass murder in international waters. But again that
(02:44:21):
was al Gore. We don't care when a Republican that
we like says that we don't have to follow the
constitution and we don't have to have a decoration of war.
Pete Haig Seth announced another one Friday morning, which makes
a third such attack this week. All six terrorists were killed.
Said the guy who wants to present himself as a Christian.
(02:44:43):
This appears to be at least the ninth such attack,
at least the third in less than a week. Well,
you might want to go back and check the book
that you say you're following. I know you're not following
the Constitution. You're not following the Bible either. Percent of
the people who are stopped by the Coastguard, as Rampaul
pointed out, are not guilty. You know, they stop them,
(02:45:06):
they search the boat, they find out twenty five percent
of them that they thought had drugs don't have drugs.
So he said, so, how do you know that these
people have drugs?
Speaker 12 (02:45:13):
On?
Speaker 1 (02:45:13):
Twenty five percent of the time the people that the
Coastguard has profiled don't really have them. And as he
pointed out when JD. Vance was bragging about it, he goes,
I can't think of anything to paraphrase him, I can't
think of anything more disgusting than cheering murder without due process.
(02:45:35):
I absolutely agree with Rand Paul on that. So this
is Trump saying, if you are an arco terrast smuggling
drugs in your hemisphere, prove it well. If you are
day or night, we will map your networks, we will
track your people, we will hunt you down and kill you.
Trump was the let's see, Actually that was Hegsa who
(02:46:00):
said that, Yeah, Trump and fielding questions from reporters the
day before, had talked about just killing drug smugglers. He
knows that, right, he knows that he's committing murder and
that there's no declaration of war. And by the way,
we have that clip. Yes, let's go ahead and play that. Yeah,
(02:46:21):
where I put that here, you got it, give me
a second, sorry, folks, Okay, just let me know when
you got it again. There was a real genuine admiration
of Trump for Rodrigo du Terte, the leader of the Philippines,
who decided that he didn't like drugs and he's going
(02:46:41):
to do something about it by killing anybody, is going
to declare open season. You think somebody's got drugs, you
just killed them. Well, tens of thousands of people died,
and now he is facing charges in international criminal court,
and rightfully so, he's on trial for this because what
he did was murder. If you kill people about any
due process, folks, that is murder. And Trump is boasting
(02:47:04):
about it. He says, I think we're going to be
killing people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay,
we're going to kill them. You know they're going to
be like dead. I can play the video. This guy
is an idiot. Go ahead and play the video.
Speaker 19 (02:47:16):
If you are declaring war against these cartels, and Congress
is likely to approve of that process, why not just
ask for a declaration of war.
Speaker 12 (02:47:26):
Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for
a declaration of war.
Speaker 1 (02:47:29):
I think we're just.
Speaker 2 (02:47:30):
Going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 11 (02:47:34):
We're just going to kill people.
Speaker 8 (02:47:36):
You know, they're going to be like dead.
Speaker 1 (02:47:38):
We're going to kill the constitution dead too. Yeah, they're
going to be like dead. You know, he's an eight
year old. Geopolitical commentator Arnaud Batron has pointed out that
Trump just honestly and openly reveals the face of the
US empire. People are in shock over this, but Trump,
(02:47:58):
as per his habit, is only putting in blunt terms
what all US presidents have been doing for decades. Nobel
Peace Prize Obama is the one who industrialized extra judicial killing,
officially ordering five hundred and forty drone strikes during his presidency,
so one to two a week on average, killing thousands
(02:48:20):
of people with no due process whatsoever. And again, it
doesn't matter that Obama did it. It doesn't matter that
Bush invaded Panama or Reagan invaded Grenada. It was wrong,
it was illegal, it was criminal, it was unconstitutional. But
they look at it and say, well, it was presidential, right,
(02:48:43):
not presidential, but presidential. We now have a president who
did something criminal, unconstitutional, illegal, and he got away with it.
So now that's accepted because you know what about this guy?
This guy did it. So what about ism that Trump's
the constitution every time time? Obama, even one time, killed
a sixteen year old American citizen, a resident of Colorado,
(02:49:06):
by a drune strike in Yemen, and he and his
press secretary merely shrugged it off, just like Trump is doing.
They are all more alike each other than they are different.
Rubin Gallego, a Democrat, says that Trump strikes and alleged
drug boats are sanctioned murder, and he's absolutely right. He
went on with Meat Press yesterday, said Trump's decisions to
(02:49:28):
strike alleged drug boats in the Caribbean were murder. Asked
whether he believed that the strikes were consistent with international law,
he said, no, it's murder. It's the same thing that
they've got du Terte in for. But again, Trump loved Dote,
du Terte loved Trump. Du Terte endorsed Trump in January
of twenty twenty four, and Trump endorsed what Duterte was
(02:49:52):
doing many many times. It's very simple, said Galigo. If
this present feels that they're doing something illegally, then he
should be using the coastguard. If there's an active war,
then you use our military and you have to come
and talk to us in Congress first. But this is murder.
NBC also previously reported that Democrats and Republicans in Congress
(02:50:13):
have grown concerned over lack of information about the strikes.
Ran Paul has slammed the strikes, saying last week I'm
meeting the press that they go against all of our
tradition as well as a rule of law. Earlier in October,
the Senate voted down a resolution that would have required
the administration to seek congressional reapproval before further strikes.
Speaker 15 (02:50:35):
With you, Senator Paul, what do you need to hear
in a briefing?
Speaker 8 (02:50:38):
What questions do you have?
Speaker 25 (02:50:41):
You know, it's not so much about a briefing, but
we haven't had a briefing. To be clear, We've gotten
no information. I've been invited to no briefing. But a
briefing is not enough to overcome the constitution. The Constitution
says that when you go to war, Congress has to
vote on it, and during a war then there's a
lower rules for engagement. People do sometimes get killed without
due process, but the drug war or the war or
(02:51:03):
the crime war, has typically been something we do through
law enforcement, and so far they have alleged that these
people are drug dealers. No one said their name, no
one said what evidence, no one said whether they're armed,
and we've had no evidence presented. So at this point
I would call them extra judicial killings. And this is
akin to what China does to Ran does with drug dealers.
(02:51:25):
They summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public.
Speaker 8 (02:51:29):
So it's wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:51:30):
Are you just on suspicion? And you know, as I said,
I think that somebody commits murderer, I think we should
have the death penalty. My concern is that even if
you give somebody due process, we have a system that
doesn't work that well. But they're not even going to
take that step. They're not even going to pretend to
(02:51:50):
look at the evidence. These are lynch mob killings here.
Trump has said that you'd think that he's going to
ask for a declaration of wars. I played for you.
I think we're just going to kill We're going to
kill him. We're going to be like dead. You know again,
he sounds just like du Terte his friend that's there,
and uh, we have Trump is simply murdering people on
(02:52:12):
the high seas.
Speaker 19 (02:52:12):
President, if you are declaring war against these cartels, and
Congress is likely to approve of that process, why not
just ask for a declaration of war.
Speaker 12 (02:52:23):
Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for
a declaration of war.
Speaker 1 (02:52:27):
I think we're just.
Speaker 2 (02:52:27):
Going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 8 (02:52:31):
Okay, we're going to kill them. You know they're going
to be like dead.
Speaker 1 (02:52:35):
Okay, yeah. Well again, it's the frustration of these people
who have one weapon. The only thing they got is
a hammer, so everything looks like a nail to them.
They're going to use force. They're going to murder people.
They're going to ignore the rule of law. And it
ought to be obvious to everybody after fifty plus years
(02:52:58):
of the war on drugs that has been waged by
miltarizing our police and getting rid of due process bit
by bit, shaving it off here in the United States,
doing civilized at forfeiture and all the rest of this stuff.
Mass incarceration. That's one thing we can lay at Reagan's door.
It ought to be obvious that with all that, even
(02:53:19):
with a mass incarceration, he got people dying of drug
overdose in prison. You can't solve this by force. And
so now what Trump wants to do is he wants
to foolishly not just double down, but he wants to
take it into a real war like orders a magnitude
worse and start killing people on a massive scale. But
(02:53:42):
even that is a lie. I don't think Trump thinks
he's going to end drugs with that. He knows that
drugs are not coming from Venezuela, and he knows that
he's not going to end it with force. He simply
wants the oil. All the rest of the stuff is
just a Trump lie. This guy tells the big ol'd
eye and repeats it over and over again until his
(02:54:03):
MAGA people believe that it's the truth. Meanwhile, is Rubyo,
the saboteur in chief of the Ukraine Russian peace efforts.
This guy we've got not just Trump. You know, Trump
has surrounded himself. He's an ally now of Lindsey Graham,
but also people like Marco Rubio, Pete, Hegseth All. These
people are just killers. They their solution to every problem
(02:54:28):
is is to kill people. That should concern us. A
great deal Putin failed to materialize after these this summit
failed to materialize. Rubio said it was a waste of time.
The criminal has responded saying Ukraine and its hockey ash
European backers are to blame for the ongoing delay in
direct negotiations. And many people are saying that it is
(02:54:50):
Marco Rubio, who again is another one of these killing
warmongers who likes to wrap himself in the label of Christian.
You know, so taking the Lord's name in vain isn't
just using Jesus as a swear words, saying you're a
Christian and then going out and pushing for illegal mass
(02:55:11):
murder in unjustified wars. Well, America's Golden Dome may be
powerless against Russia's Doomed Today missile. And again they have
come up with a nuclear powered cruise missile that has
essentially unlimited range because it's nuclear powered. It has now
(02:55:32):
gone from the experimental stage to a completing a test.
They say that it completed a flight covering fourteen thousand kilometers.
But Valerie Grasimov, who is the chief of the General
Staff in Russia, I guess he's like the top dog
at the Pentagon or something, said this range is not
(02:55:54):
the limit for the system that is basically unlimited. The
missile is called the Eres. The s nick if I'm
saying that correctly, let's moved from the realm of experimental
prototypes to a near operational weapon and into the global spotlight,
says RT. And so they're saying that it can be
(02:56:15):
reprogrammed mid flight, and that it's going to present a
real challenge for America's new shield system. Again, Trump, the
military industrial complex, president wants the big, expensive Golden Dome.
It's not going to be very useful against a weapon
like this, probably won't be useful against the hypersonic weapon either,
(02:56:37):
And yet they continue to poke the bear into the corner.
And this is insanity. I mean, it is government assisted suicide.
Earlier this year, Trump launched the ambitious Golden Dome Initiative,
a sweeping plan to build a national missile defense system
capable of shielding America from modern threats such as ballistic
(02:56:58):
missiles hypersonic weapons. I don't think it can provide defense
against them. But now this is a cruise missile with
unlimited range, and it is not only nuclear powered, but
it can be nuclear equipped, so it'd be capable of
striking anywhere in the globe from any direction. It could
exploit satellite communications to update flight paths, evade interception, even
(02:57:21):
receive new target information mid flight. The ability to safely
operate a nuclear powered engine stems from technological breakthroughs achieved
in the nineteen nineties and the two thousands, when Russian
scientists built successfully got compact nuclear reactors paved the way
not only for dis missile, but also for other projects
like the Poseidon underwater drone that they have bragged about
(02:57:45):
creating a massive radioactive tidle wave. So these horrific weapons
that are being out of there. This really is like
doctor Strange Law. I mean, you know, we've got a
confluence of all these dystopian movies all at once, including Idiocracy.
Speaker 11 (02:58:02):
It's just a basic pay It's like, oh yeah, previous weapons,
you know, we shoot bullets at each other. Once nuclear
weapons got involved, people started taking it into insane places. Yeah,
we make a radioactive title wave. Well here's our eternally
circling nuclear warhead that's eternally looking for a target, just
ready at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 1 (02:58:23):
Yeah, that's right. And you know, with all this happening,
there is a new movie that just came out on
Netflix a House of Dynamite, and actually we watched that yesterday,
and of course it was about this very thing. Everybody
they see a missile that's coming and they're not really
sure where it's coming from. Is it coming from Russia
or China or North Korea. But it's okay because we
got our anti missile system. They sent it up and
(02:58:45):
everybody's waiting with baited breath, and it misses, and it's like,
and now it's too late for us to do anything
about it, because now it's coming down and going really fast.
So what's going on with this? Well, you know they've
got a sixty percent chance of hit, so the guy says,
so basically, you're telling me that we spent one hundreds
of billions of dollars on a coin toss for this thing.
And so that's the that's done by Catherine Bigelow, who
(02:59:08):
did Hurt Walker, and the Pentagon is freaked out and
angry about this. It's a very damaging movie if you
watch it. It's one of these types of movies that
has a boomer. I grew up watching Strange Love and
these other things about what happens when this mutually assured
destruction plan goes awry and it is a very very
(02:59:31):
powerful movie. So the Pentagon is on full alert trying
to shut this down. Maybe they'll put a tariff on
Hollywood for this, who knows, but I think that it's
something that people need to be aware of. The lunacy
that is happening here. By the way, spoiler alert, the
movie ends with a traffic jam of bureaucrats trying to
(02:59:54):
get into Raven Rock, and of course there's a book,
raven Rock Rock. They planned to save themselves and let
the rest of us die. That's what we're looking at
right here. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
(03:00:16):
The common man. They created common Core and dumbed 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,
(03:00:37):
unsophisticated ordinary. But 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.
(03:01:01):
It's time to turn that around and expose what they
want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
