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

Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen,
it's Tuesday, the twenty fifth of November. You're of our
lord twenty five. Well, today we're going to talk about
the issue that I think must not die, and that

(00:58):
is the idea that it is somehow necessary for soldiers
to follow illegal orders. We're going to get into that
in more detail, and we're going to take a look
at the clown show that is the Trump administration as
we see Comi and Letitia James walking. And it was
something that I told you about. If you remember a

(01:18):
couple of weeks ago, people had already started talking about
the fact that Trump had jumped ahead with this thing
and illegally appointed the prosecutor who really didn't have any
experience and didn't know what she was doing. This has
all come out, and of course it's being spuned by
the MAGA media as the corrupt left in control of
our courts. It's not that at all. It's their clown

(01:41):
idiot CEO who is who couldn't run casinos for our profit?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Bankrupt that a half dozen of them.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
But we're going to begain with something that has tremendous
impact for us in the future, and that's going to
be tech and AI some amazing, startling and frightening results.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
We're going to be right back. Stay with us. Well.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Joining us today is Travis and his latest acquisition.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
A party.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That he's been busy, he's been gone and he's found
a dog that somebody gave to him. It's a It
wasn't challenging enough to have a toddler, now we're going
to get a puppy as well.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
So I mean, you can never have too much fun. So, yeah,
we met a couple at a Love's gas station and
they had three puppies that had been found at a
BUCkies earlier that day and they were going to foster
them out. And so how could we say no with
this little guy? He's too cute.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, we tried to tell him to say no, But
we'll see what happens. Well, I want to begin today
with going a little bit deeper and the implications of
what Elon Musk said the other day I reported when
he was at and get this, he is at a
Saudi Investment seminar forum in Washington, DC. What do you

(03:09):
think they're investing in in Washington, DC politicians. Who's going
to get them the most return on their investment.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
They are for sale to the highest better whether you're
talking about Saudi Arabia or Israel or anyone. So even
Ukraine can work out a backroom deal with them. You know,
you channel the money to them and they kick it
back to you as well. So we're seeing that everywhere.
He's getting a little bit excited about this.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
He's excited to be in the room with us.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Also, I want to make the offer to the viewers.
He doesn't have a name yet. We've got some in
the running. If you would like, you can help us choose.
We're thinking either Bishop Ranger Jet or sticks with a
y like the River Sticks. That's my wife's favorite. So
if you'd like, feel free to send a donation with
the name you would prefer, and then we'll get him

(04:00):
out of here in a minute and he'll go back
so we can have puppy fun.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, I want to talk first about X, the shadow
Lens as I refer to it, because I've been shadow
band there for so long. I've been shadow band on
X since nineteen eighty six. I'm sorry not nineteen. Since
August six, twenty eighteen, it seems like nineteen eighty six.

(04:26):
But anyway, this is an article from The Atlantic elon
Musk's worthless poisoned Hall of Mirrors. That's what they're talking
about with X. As I said, I see it and
as a hall of mirrors, but I see it as
a shadow lens. How X blew up its own platform
with a new location feature over the weekend. They put

(04:47):
an update about this account allows people to click on
the profile see information like which country the account was
created in, where the user is currently based, and how
many times the user name has been changed. Now that
they can accurately determine, it turns out that maybe there's
some questions about the other data there. Are they hallucinating

(05:08):
with that? So Nikita beer Ex's head of Products of
the Future was quote an important first step to securing
the integrity of the Global town Square how many times?
By the way, let me just give you the punchline here.
Four hours later, Nikita tweets out, I need a beer

(05:29):
or drink rather, beer is our last name. But anyway,
it turned out to be quite a headache. But look
at that phrase there. The Global town Square I've said
over and over again when we talk about free speech
on the internet, the principles here in America, and you know,
the UK can go big brother and the rest of

(05:52):
the EU can go big brother. We have a constitution
and we need to stand on that. And again I
understand that the government has ignored the constitution. They shredded it,
they burned it, they spit on it, they use it
as toilet paper. But the bottom line, it's there, and
they still swear to it as a condition of their authority.

(06:12):
So we need to hold them to that. We need
to say, this is the ruling document, and when you
rule without this document, you have no authority. You may
have power, but you have no authority. We're not going
to obey you. We need to really hold them to that.
And so when we look at the idea that it
is a global town square, if you remember when there

(06:33):
was all the censorship, hearings and everything, and it was
after twenty eighteen when we got banned in info Wars,
and then two months later in October had eight hundred
different sites that were not just pro Trump sites the
common denominator there, These were all sites that were against
the police and surveillance state, and the military industrial complex.

(06:54):
Those were the sites that got banned. Some of them
were Trump supporters, but many who were not supporters also
got banned. Free Thought Project for example. Anyway, when you
go back and look at Jack Dorsey, who had Twitter
at the time, he went before Congress multiple times and said,
we are the town square. Well, we have the court

(07:17):
case that you've heard me talk about many many times,
marsh versus Alabama. That was a company owned town, a
coal town, and there was an individual who's passing out
religious tracts and they arrested that person and said you
can't do that here. They said, well, this is the
public square. Took it to the Supreme Court, and the
Supreme Court said, even if the public square is privately owned,

(07:42):
free speech still applies in the public square. So again
they're still saying that it is a global town square
and it is That is the appropriate way to.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Look at it.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
And I've had this argument. I had the argument with
Robert Barnes when I was at NFO Wars. He would say, well, no,
we've had court cases since then saying that you can't
exercise free speech. And a shopping mall, for example, so
the shopping mall is not the town square. It is
private property. And you wouldn't expect that you'd be able
to set up a soapbox and start talking about whatever

(08:16):
you want to talk about religion and politics or whatever
inside of a store. I mean, if you did that
inside of Walmart, they would escort you out right. That
is private property. And the same thing is true even
in the common areas of the mall, that is still
private property. People pay money to set up kiosks there
and you can't just set up your soapbox and start

(08:40):
preaching about stuff. So that is the analogy that's there. However,
when you look at what is actually being done these
people is now has been shown over and over again,
and of course Musk released some of these things, and
we've seen many of the documents which we knew this
was happening all along, that they were bowing to pressure
from the government censor people, and everybody said, well, private property,

(09:03):
they can do whatever they want. No, they can't.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Almost immediately about this account stated that many prominent prolific
pro MAGA accounts, which signaled that they were run by
patriotic Americans, were actually based in countries like Nigeria, Russia, India, Thailand.
For example, Maga nation X, an account with almost four

(09:26):
hundred thousand followers and whose bio says it is a
quote patriot patriot voice for we the People, is based
in Eastern Europe according to the Future, and that it
changed its user name five times since the account was
made just last year. I think that's a big red

(09:46):
flag as well. Maga Nadine claims to be living in
and posting from the US, but is, according to X
based in Morocco. An American first account with sixty seven
thousand followers, is apparently based in Bangal. The x handle
at American is based in Pakistan.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Wait till they find out that the White.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
House account's being managed from Israel.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
And that's for real, folks.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
They didn't put it up there on their expile, but
it is being managed from Israel. This confirms what researchers
and some observers have long known that foreign actors, whether
it's bots or humans, are posing as Americans and piping
political engagement bait and myths and disinformation spam into people's timeline.
X and Musk did not respond to this writer's request

(10:37):
for comments, yet the scale of deception is revealed by
the about feature suggests that in his haste to turn
X into a political weapon of the far right, Musk
may have revealed that the platform that he's on, called
the number one source of news on Earth, is really
just a worthless, poisoned hall of mirrors. Again, this is

(11:03):
a hall of mirrors where people who really do put
America first, who really do exercise free speech, who put
Christ first, get shadow banned, don't tell the truth if
they don't like the truth. So there's multiple claims. However,
from people. Now here's the other side of this. They
go on the story. They said, well, the X account
of Hank Green, a YouTuber, says his account is based

(11:27):
in Japan, but he told me Sunday that he had
never been to Japan and that there were a few
rough edges, said X. They'll be resolved by Tuesday today.
So I looked at my account and guess what, Travis
X says, I'm based in Ireland. They must have seen
you on the show, thinking.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
The technology can use a little bit of refining.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I suppose I tweeted that out.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
When I looked at that this morning, I said, well,
I've never been to Ireland. I always wanted to go,
but now that we have this authoritarian nightmare called air travel,
I don't think I'll ever get there. But so there's
some issues with this, but the bottom line is they
do make a point as to what's really happening, whether
or not these people are foreign bots or human or

(12:15):
actual bots programs, they make the point of how this
space is being used. People are using the feature to
try to score political points. Prominent posters have argued that
mainstream media have quoted mislabeled accounts without minimum due diligence.
On Sunday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry posted a screenshot of
an account that purported to be reporting news from Gaza,

(12:38):
and X said the account was based in Poland. So
Isel said, so your reporting from Gaza is fake and
not reliable. Makes you wonder how many more fake new
reports have you read? But the person in question posted
a video on Sunday evening insisting that he was in
Gaza living in a tent after military strife killed his

(13:00):
wife and three children. I've been living in Gaza. I'm
now living in Gaza, and I will continue living in
Gaza until I die or until he's killed by beebe bombs,
I guess according to theout feature, a popular, verified Islamophobic
pro Israel account that posts aggressively about American politics, including

(13:21):
calling for zoon Mom Danny's deportation was based in South
Asia and it changed this user name fifteen times. Now,
if you change your user name fifteen times, if you
change your user name, was it five times or something
in the last year, that is something they can accurately determine,
and that may very well indicate that you are a BAK,

(13:43):
that you are trying to you're part of a disinformation
propaganda campaign. When I went to x to verify, I
noticed that the same account had spent Saturday posting screenshots
of other political accounts, accusing them of being fake Pakistani garbage.
This account is probably Israeli, so potentially fake accounts, crying

(14:05):
at other potentially fake accounts that they aren't real, all
while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren't who they
say they are.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Could be.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Of course, this is the Atlantic, they said, Well, it
could be a Russian nesting doll, you know, Madrirovski of BS. Well, again,
it's always for the Atlantic, which is a natoish kind
of publication. Globalist publication. It's always Russia, Russia, Russia, right anyway,

(14:37):
Just before the twenty sixteen election, they said BuzzFeed had
a couple of reporters when covered a network of Macedonian teams.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
And this is.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Really the heart of the issue. Whether or not this
about feature is true or not, this is the heart
of the issue. And this, folks, is what is wrong
with media, all media, but especially the alternative media, especially
the Trump Maga media. These Macedonian teams recognized that America's

(15:07):
deep political divisions were a lucrative vein to exploit, so
they pumped out bogus news articles designed to go viral
on Facebook so they can monetize it with ads. This
is the Alex Jones business model that was discovered by
Macedonian teens. You basically exploit political divisions because you get

(15:30):
a lot of eyeballs and then you get a lot
of ad revenue and you can sell product and all
the rest of this stuff. That's what it's really about.
Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, you name it. A lot of
people are doing that. It turns what should be an
information ecosystem into a performative one. They are staging provocations
for yield. That basically sums it up, doesn't it. I've

(15:54):
seen that up close and personal for a long time.
X's gutted their rust and safety moderation teams in the
service of a bastardized notion of free speech. Maximalism, says
the Atlantic, because the Atlantic is always called for censorship
and moderation. These are the big government NATO people who

(16:16):
want to control everything that you see in here. It
is the nanny sensors. They don't believe that you can
figure this stuff out on your own. It doesn't really
matter whether these people are coming from Russia or Israel
or some other place. It doesn't matter if they are

(16:37):
doing it for clickbait. You can still discern what's going on.
You can still look at what these people are saying
and understand that you don't need to have somebody who
has their own political agenda. And of course the Atlantic
pretends that governments don't have any political agenda, right, I
mean this seriously, they do. You know, the governments are
going to be non interested moderators, and so are the corporations.

(17:04):
How naive do they think we are? That is more
ridiculous than a Nigerian prince who thinks that he's America
first right, or says that he's America verse. The second
lesson here is that X appears to be inflating the
culture wars. Political influencers, media personalities, even politicians will take
posts from support supposedly ordinary accounts and hold them up

(17:27):
as examples of their ideological opponents dysfunction, corruption, or depravity.
The problem is is that these accounts out there, whatever
their motivation is, they are mirroring what the actual politicians
like Trump are doing.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
When you talk about.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Dysfunction, corruption, and depravity, it rots from the top down,
it rots from Trump down. He embodies all of these things.
He is the greatest precedent that we've ever had, and
by that I mean in terms of setting precedents. He
is setting the precedent for a technocracy, a globalist control.

(18:09):
And he has done very very powerful things, all the
more powerful because he does them behind closed doors, while
he's right in your face about the tyranny, the globalist
agendas that he implemented in twenty twenty of lockdown for
jab and we've got to have vaccine control. That was
all lockstep with a globalist agenda. And yet people thought

(18:31):
that that was coming from Trump or from Fauci or whatever.
It was a globalist agenda. And so while he can
be brutally and corruptly honest with people about what he's doing,
he can also be very subversive. That's why he's such
a dangerous precedent. So how many of these accounts, arguments,

(18:53):
or news cycles were products of empty rage bait proffered
by foreign or just fake actors. So the idealism that
these companies are founded with people like Zuckerberg saying that
he wanted to maximize free speech, or Jack Dorsey or Musk,
this is all decayed as they have steered their products

(19:15):
towards maximizing profits and playing politics. Well, that is true
of the media in general. It's true of mainstream media,
it's true of alternative media, it's true of social media.
And you have to be on the lookout for that.
You have to be an intelligent consumer of this stuff.
And what these people at the Atlantic are selling is

(19:36):
there selling a kind of paternalism or a nanny state,
so they can control what you see and hear for
their own agenda, which is left unsaid by them. Most
opportunistic conclusion is that a group of people who realize
that they are being goaded into participation in an algorithmic

(19:56):
funhouse decide to opt out of a cycle logically painful
discourse trap altogether. Well, my experience is not that it's
a hall of mirrors, and like I said before, it's
more like a hall of shadows, shadow land. But the
motivation from the Atlantic in terms of doing this is

(20:18):
they don't want you to have multiple sources of information.
If you've got multiple sources of information, you can kind
of triangulate and compare and contrast this stuff to understand
what the real truth is. Again with your own understanding
of these things, they don't want you to have that.
I've said many times that by limiting political debates to
two candidates, they can come at you and say, well,

(20:41):
you know, I'm better than this guy. You may not
like me, but I'm not as bad as he is,
and they can play the nasty game of ad hominem
attacks endlessly against each other. But if you had the
dynamics of three or more people, when you have and
we see this in the very very early stages of
the debates, if you go back to the twenty sixteen

(21:02):
election cycle, there were a whole there was a very
large field of Republicans, and similarly we had a situation
where we had a large field of Democrats. Initially, when
you start that was in the twenty twenty cycle, when
you start going personal and ad hominem and attacking an individual,
what happened, Well, that individual went down, and that's what

(21:26):
Marjorie Tayler Green understands, but also the attacker went down.
Both of them went down, and somebody who stayed focused
on the issues and didn't get into the mud slinging
ad hominem attacks, that person generally went up. We've seen
it over and over again. That was a dynamic in
the UK with the Liberal Party versus the Labor and

(21:48):
Conservative Tories, and they had a large increase there. And
the Liberal Party is liberal as we would think of
it today, but it is they see themselves as more libertarian.
They are more libertarian than the Labor and the Conservative Party.
But it's that kind of dynamic. And so the mainstream

(22:08):
media doesn't want you seeing social media out here and alternate.
They would like to make this a fight between them
and alternative media because they have so much I guess
we could say fake authority because they've been around. You know,
we've heard for years Walter Cronkite, that's the way it is,
you know, when it wasn't the way it was. It

(22:29):
was his script that he was given by the CIA,
And so they don't want you having multiple sources of information.
It's very important to monopolize that or doopolize that. And
that's really what's behind this article. So understand, you know
what is going on in social media. Understand how people
are manipulating you, how they are exploiting division for profit,

(22:52):
They're exploiting division for political reasons. A lot of different
things happening there that you need to be aware of.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
When this whole, not when it really started kicking up,
but when it became more apparent over the last few months.
There was a kind of a joke meme going around
just for all these you know, promara here accounts people
in the comments being like, curse Vishnu right now, curse
Vishnu to prove your American. If you don't curse Vishnu,
you're obviously not American and we can't trust you.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
I was about to ask you who is kir.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Is, either the new FBI director or anyway, but this
is this is the comment that I wanted to get
into more when I said the fact that Elon Musk
was at the US Saudi investment for him in Washington, DC,
addressing the people there, and what he said about the technocracy.
This is an interesting article from J. D. Hall, and

(23:46):
he brings up he goes a little bit more into
depth than I've seen other people going to because I
reported his comments that hey, you're not going to really
have a job, You're not gonna need a job. You
might do a job, and the way that somebody's going
to grow vegetables or tomatoes as a hobby. It's harder
to do it, it can be more expensive to do it.
You've got your reasons for doing it. Maybe you know

(24:08):
you want it organic, or maybe you want it just
a sense of doing it. You enjoy doing it as
a hobby. But he said work is going to be
like that. It's going to be like having your own
home garden. You don't really need it, but you can
do it if you want. And then he says money
is not going to be around anymore. It's not going
to make any difference. And I said, okay, well right there,

(24:29):
we can call BS on it. This is the world's
richest man.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Who craves money, probably.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
More than Solomon, and certainly not as wise as Solomon.
And he is trying to accrewe all this stuff, desperately,
trying to get more and more and more of it.
And he says, you don't need it. This echoes Claus Schwab.
Doesn't it You know, you'll own nothing and you'll be happier.

(24:56):
And so the Saudis are there trying to figure out
which politicians are going to invest in. He says, my
prediction that work will be optional and so forth. But
the point is is that he makes a reference later
on the speech which I hadn't seen reported before, and JD.
Hall picked this up. He referenced a series, and we're

(25:16):
going to talk a little bit about that, because it
really does show us where this guy is coming from.
But he points out J. D. Hall is writing from
a Christian perspective. He says, just like that, a casual
declaration that the verything that has defined human life since
Adam left the garden is now slated to become a hobby.

(25:38):
As a matter of fact, it was, it was not
after Adam left the garden. You know, God designed us
to work and to make things with our hands. What
happened after the fall was God made it more difficult.
You know, we got when we're growing food, we got
weeds now to work with, and we have the second

(25:58):
law of them mixed the contend with that things always
coming apart and getting worse. But the uh, but we
were always designed for work. And I think, you know,
we look at people like Randy Alcorn who's thought about this,
and again, I you know, he's kind of philosophizing about
what heaven is like. But I think it makes a

(26:20):
lot of sense. He said, you know, we're going to
still have things to do. God made us with things
to do before the fall. What will happen is the
curse that has been put on our work will be
taken away, and so it'll be much more rewarding and
much more fulfilling and less frustrating. We all have our
particular friends. It doesn't matter what kind of work we do.

(26:41):
It's still going to have some frustration.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
You know, there will be no adobe in the new
Heaven and new Earth.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's right, and so it'll it'll be without frustration. But
what Elon Musk is selling you here is an anti God,
anti Christian version of the future. It is a very
seductive thing because what he's promising you is that you're
just going to live a life of idleness and no responsibility.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
He says, So, Yeah, a term you see in game
design pretty frequently called flow where it's the amount of
challenge that you're being presented with versus the amount of
skill that you have in something, which is why video
games increase in difficulty as your skill goes up to
keep you in the flow state, which is a term

(27:33):
not just used in video games, but that's where people
feel the best. That's why people play games in order
to feel that state. Yes, and I think that's what
the curse was, is its curse to be out of
the flow state.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, that's right, that's right. And you know, a big
part of this is not a big part of life
is training, right, God is training us, and it's not
just didactic teaching. Letting people actually get involved with something
and having the experience and the difficulty of it.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
That's what causes us to grow. So he said, to
we move from work to wealth.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
He told the forum that AI and robotics will at
some point make currency irrelevant. If work is optional, money
eventually does not matter in the entire moral drama of
providing for your family or sweating for your bread, of
sacrificing for children and for grandchildren is no longer central
to human life. Something else will decide who eats, who travels,

(28:33):
who thrives. If money is irrelevant, then someone other than
you is going to decide what is relevant. And of
course that's going to be Musk and the technocrats. And
again Trump is America last. Okay, it's not just Israel first,
but it's also technocracy first. And if you start looking

(28:54):
at these different spheres, whether you're talking about foreign government
or are you're talking about the globalst agenda, as we
see from the UN, from the World Economic Forum, Trump
has I know, he says that he's anti globalist, but
look at what he did, Look at what he did
in twenty twenty. Now what he says, he's cultivated this
deceptive image. If you start to look at what they

(29:17):
actually do, and you take these different spheres of influence,
the globalists, the foreign governments, the big corporations, whether it's
the military industrial complex, big pharma, big tech, whatever, you
take these spheres and you look at what they want,
and there is a significant overlap if you're thinking in
terms of a ven diagram, and I think it's so

(29:39):
much that recently, especially under Trump, is starting to converge
into a not a VN diagram, but just a single
circle that is there.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
And so JD.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Hall says to help with this his audience to Film
in a Picture of this World, Musk pointed to the
science fiction novels of N. M. Banks and the culture.
Have you ever heard of that, Trevis?

Speaker 5 (30:02):
No.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
It's a pretty significant series. And I didn't see this
in the original article, and I thought this is very,
very interesting and very telling.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
This is a series of stories.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Okay, we got a that's not the puppy, that's one
of the other dogs, Karen, if you're listening to the show,
can you.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Get the dog out of there? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Anyway, the culture, as he summarized it, he says, in
that universe, because all the science fiction writers create a universe.
That's the thing that I always found interesting about science fiction.
I quickly lost interest in Dooon, for example, because he
gets into this fake imitation of Christianity and Christ and

(30:43):
they all come at it from some kind of atheistic perspective,
which really kind of plays out and gets tiredsome very
very rapidly. When I was in college, in high school, actually,
I was reading Isaac asimov novels a Foundation. This is
a similar thing to that. It's not quite as many
novels as Asmov did in the Foundation, and it doesn't

(31:06):
stretch over such a long period of time, but.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
It's a very.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Interesting world that is there, and it's very interesting that
Musk would use that as an example. Here's the way JD.
Hall summarizes it, he said in the Culture series. In
that universe, human beings live in a post scarcity playground.
There are starships, orbital habitats, wild pleasures, and endless distractions.

(31:32):
On the surface, it looks like heaven. There's no poverty,
no ordinary labor. People spend their days in whatever amusements
they choose. What makes it all run, however, is not
human wisdom. It is a hierarchy of artificial intelligences called minds.
They run the ships, they manage the economies, they direct

(31:53):
the wars and the peace. They track the details of
trillions of lives. Humans are not really governing the world.
They are living inside a world that has been engineered
and is constantly managed for them by entities that tower
over them and knowledge and power. You know, I thought
it was interesting Rowan Atkinson, the comedian, the British comedian,

(32:15):
mister Bean. You know, he's actually an electrical engineer by training.
We're only a couple of months different in age, but
he with all the money that he's made as a comedian,
is very good. But he's got an interest in cars
as well, and he's able to afford these supercars.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
He made an interesting comment once, he.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Said, you don't really drive these as much as you
just kind of manage them, because they're making all the
detailed decisions about how to go in that general direction
that you want to go. But this is all society
is managed by the AI. And you know, when you
look at the novel the Culture, I guess said before,

(33:00):
it reminds me very much of what Isaac Asimov did
with The Foundation. Asimov did his series of The Foundation,
he had seven of them that he wrote over fifty
one years. This guy wrote ten of these culture novels
over a twenty five year span from nineteen eighty seven
to twenty twelve, and it really hit home with Elon

(33:24):
Musk and so I think it's interesting to see what
his background what he would like to see. You know,
he's saying, yeah, to be something like this, this is
what I am envisioned here. So in terms of again
his post scarcity of utopia, this is why George Gilder
called them the neo Marxist because they believe that we

(33:44):
have just like Marx falsely believed with the Industrial Revolution.
Now there is no limit on material goods. We just
have to figure out how we're going to distribute it.
And that's what the neo Marxists are telling us. No
more scarcity of anything. We just have to figure out
how all of it is controlled by me. You know,
that's the difference between the neo Marxist and the Carl Marxists.

(34:06):
So people live as long as they want. They only
die when they get tired of living and commit suicide
or they die accidentally. Money does not exist. Status is
cultural or eccentric rather than economic. In terms of government
and society, there's no laws, no police, no formal government
in the traditional sense. We see that in Elon Musk's

(34:30):
movements as well. You know, there was an original Big
Beautiful Bill. There was a ten year moratorium on any
regulations by state and local government against AI these guys
like peer tel Elon Musk hate government regulation, and I
agree with them. I think it is absolute poison. As
a matter of fact, you've got Mark and Dreesen, another

(34:50):
one of these venture capitalists out there saying, you know,
we can have the most powerful economy in the world,
we just need to get rid of regulation. And I'm like, yeah,
absolutely right. One of the things he was saying, though,
was he said, the manufacturing jobs that you had are
not coming back, and he said, you don't want those either.
He said, you go into a Chinese bicycle shop, for example,

(35:13):
and you got these people are staying there on an
assembly line doing this repetitive task over and over and
over again. You know, it's a human slave labor that
was a big part of the Chinese price And he said,
you don't want that kind of job. He goes, you
want to be working in something that is highly automated.
We have a higher level job, and you're going to

(35:33):
be making not bicycles, but electric battery operated bikes, because
everything's got to be electric with a battery in it, and.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
You could be doing the exact same thing over and
over again while managing one hundred robots that are all
doing the same thing over and over again.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
That's right, let's take a job. That's part of the curse.
It doesn't matter what we do.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I mean, you know, if you are a programmer, what
do you get.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
The alarm goes off every morning you get up.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
And it's same with me. You know, the alarm goes
off every day. Got to get up and make the
news or whatever. It's the donuts right on the commercial
and I would get up at o dark thirty and
get dressed and go do the news. But it's that
repetitive nature. There's always going to be a repetitive nature
to it. But he is telling you the truth in
the sense that I think manufacturing jobs are not coming

(36:22):
back to the US. I think they had intended that
they would not come back until they were given massive
subsidies by Trump to set up automated factories. The capital
may come back and be relocated here in America, but
not your jobs. These people don't want you to have
anything anyway.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
That's the thing. Is just you can't just decide as
an individual like I can't go out and say, you
know what, today, I'm going to bring back manufacturing to
the United States. It takes a massive amount of capital
and a lot of time to build these faster times.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Yeah, and that's the whole point with Trump.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
You can't go in and they have been creating this
entangled weave of morass, this Gordian knot of you know,
a global economy with these long supply chains that are there,
and you can't just come in and cut those supply
chains and expect that everything's going to work. That's the

(37:21):
naivete of Trump. And I don't think that, you know,
Trump investn't, and Lucky Lutnick, I don't. I don't think
they're naive. I think they're evil. I think that they're
deliberately sabotaging this thing.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Trump might be stupid enough to do it, might be,
but there's no way all of them are that stupid.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Right, you've got to have a puppet up front and
who really believes this stuff in order to sell it,
and that that's.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Their guy Trump.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Anyway, the the minds organize what is essentially a benevolent anarchy.
That's interesting, a benevolent anarchy. Actually, usually we have a
benevolent dictator idea. Right, they are supposedly hyper intelligent ais
that inhabit starships, orbital habitats and planetary rings. A single

(38:11):
mind is millions of times smarter than all humans combined,
and genuinely cares about the well being of its citizens.
Yeah right, this is the fiction part here, But isn't
it interesting that they choose that in his world, he
chooses to locate these things and orbital ships and that

(38:33):
makes a lot of sense. He's not the only one
to think that through. Hugo de Garris talked about that
and his art like towards. He said, when people figure
out by the technocrats and the AI industry is starting
wanting to do to them, they're going to rebel against
these people. Remember, Hugo to Garris wrote this a long
time ago. I mean I was interviewing him a decade
ago and he had already had that book out for

(38:55):
quite some time. But he said, you know, people realize
what these technocrats AI are up to, they're going to
come after them. And so these guys will get off planet.
They'll have the technology to get off planet and something
like you saw depicted in the movie Elysium, and they
will have a lot of technology that they can wage
war against us with. And he said, so to be

(39:17):
a fight between these elitist technocrats and they're near Earth
orbiting stations and the people on Earth, and it'll be
giga death will kill billions of us. And so that's
basically what these guys are looking at. We're going to
put the AI up on these ships. It's going to
of course, it also makes sense from a power perspective.

(39:41):
These things are so power hungry you need to have
them up there where they can grab the solar power.
In space, you have a tremendous amount of energy potential
because you paint something white and you can reflect the
Sun's raised a great deal, or you paint it black
and all of a sudden, it's really hot, really fast.
Because it absorbs all of that stuff. You have that

(40:03):
kind of a temperature differential just based on color, even
the coldness of space and the ability however to absorb
sunlight and having that temperature differential allows you to create
a power source anyway. The minds, what are the minds? Well,
the minds are the true protagonists and the power holders

(40:24):
in this novel series, and again this is something that
Musk really bought into, really likes it. You know, the
true protagonists and the powerholders. Each major ship or habitat
has its own mind, with flamboyant, often sarcastic personality and
self chosen names like just read the instructions or of course,

(40:49):
I Still love you, or another one called gray Area,
which is also called kind of an obscene name because
it reads organic minds without permission. Minds are effectively immortal
four dimensional thinkers. They play four D chess, so we
finally have something that plays Alex's ford D chess thing.

(41:11):
And they simulate entire universes for fun, and they can
destroy stars if annoid. You see, this is their science
fiction gods quote unquote lore case g Yet they are eccentric, witty,
and profoundly ethical, and so this is his fantasy world.
And this is the reference that Elon Musk had for

(41:33):
what he would like to see happen, what he thinks
is going to happen. So it's kind of a mix
of different aspects here. You have a mix of baseline
humans in terms of population, genetically modified humans and various
humanoids are non humanoid species. Extreme body modification is normal.

(41:57):
You can change your sex in a year. You can
grow wing or gills and have extra brains. You can
live in aquatic or low gravity, bodies, etc. Many people
spend centuries and virtual reality and storage backed up and
not revived for centuries and drifting through the galaxy pursuing

(42:18):
art expiration or hedonism, vector feels that let minds hack
any lesser computer or read and control organic brains from
light seconds away. Sublimation the option to transcend into a
higher dimensional energy being very few do it. These are

(42:40):
themes that really you see repeated over and over again
with these technocrats. I mean, these people read science fiction,
you know, whether it's Brave New World or whether it's
nineteen eighty four, or whether it's the culture, and they
seek to reproduce that. So we should pay attention to this.
Yes it is science fiction, but these people are very

(43:02):
focused on these dystopian ideas.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
So quickly, I want to recommend one of my favorite
science fiction books, Armor by John Stakley. It's a sort
of military science fiction and discusses just the bureaucracy of
the military and how it uses and abuses and grinds
these soldiers down in this endless conflict on this worthless planet.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Well there you have it.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
So in terms of foreign policy and special circumstances, this
is where a lot of the plot comes into play.
They have different galaxies. The culture is just one of
several high level involved civilizations, and when it interacts with
others there'll be diplomatic expiration and first contact and mostly benign,

(43:57):
so that's the contact aspect of it. Then they have
the Special Circumstances. Special Circumstances is a combination of CIA, KGB,
Black Ops, superheroes. Special Circumstances recruits eccentric humans and drones
who enjoy moral gray zones, and authority authorizes them to lie, cheat, steel, assassinate,

(44:23):
start or stop wars, and top all civilizations. Let's see what.
Maybe it's run by a guy named Mike Pompeio CIA.
The minds decide if it will reduce suffering in the
long run, So all those things are fine as long
as there is a pragmatic reason to quote unquote reduce suffering.

(44:47):
So again, the central tension is between a libertarian utopia
that secretly interferes with other societies for their own good,
and this may makes the culture either heroic or hypocritical.
It's left up to the reader to decide about that.

(45:07):
He doesn't make that decision for you. So it is
a state of constant, low level war like we have
right now, intrigue and philosophical competition between these different powers.
That's very much where we are right now. Well, again,
this is important because this is something that was referenced

(45:28):
by Elon Musk. This is his vision and his background
of course, as I've talked about many times, and J. D.
Hall goes into it here as well. He is from
a family of technocrats. His grandfather, Joshua Haldane loved the
whole idea of technocracy so much that was put out

(45:51):
in the nineteen thirties, and of course H. G. Wells
and his shape of Things to Come, and then the
movie Things to Come. They had Raymond Massey and I've
shown that in the past, and so all of that
was the rage in the early nineteen thirties, and of
course it fit very well with the whole idea of
eugenics and a master race that we saw reproduced in Germany.

(46:13):
It had its American adherents as well. Joshua Haldane was
in Canada. He was working very hard to try to
replace the Canadian government with a technocracy, and they brought
him up on charges. He beat the charges and then
he beat it out of Canada and went to South Africa,
which is why Elon Musk was raised there.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
But as JD.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Hall points out, this whole idea is the dangerous. Part
of this vision is that it doesn't sound like tyranny.
To many people. What Elon Musk is putting out there
sounds like relief. No more pressure, no more burden of providing,
no more anxiety over bills, no more grind. For a

(46:54):
generation that has already exhausted and disillusioned, the promise that
work can become a high and that money can fade
away will feel like salvation. Now he doesn't talk about this,
but I got another article that I came across. It's
a survey that was recently done by the Heritage Foundation
and Rasmussen and they did the survey of gen Z.

(47:16):
And of course, as Jeryl Clenty mentioned last Friday, gen
Z is pushing back into Paul and many other places.
We're seeing these revolutions. Now the conservatives are just telling, Oh,
I don't worry, it's just sorrows anything a really stupid take,
a really shallow take on what's going on. He may
be exploiting it, he may be amplifying it, but it's
not just sorrows, just like this no Kings thing may

(47:40):
have been amplified somewhat by them, but it was not
a AstroTurf thing. It was a real reaction to the
kind of in your face bullying tactics of the Trump administration.
And so the survey of young people gen Z and
jen Alpha showed that a large percentage of them are

(48:02):
so disgusted with the corruption in our institutions. Again, this
is indicative of a fourth turning, right that after we've
gone through four generations or so, typically people see how
corrupt the institutions have become and lose all confidence of
being able to fix them, and they just want to

(48:24):
turn the tables over. And that's when you have the
fourth turning. And so this new generation is saying that
they would like to see Ai rule over them. I mean,
it's not just taking away the responsibility for work and everything,
but it's taking away the responsibility and the hard work

(48:44):
of reforming these institutions and finding the people to run them.
Let's just let Ai do it. And we've already seen
that in Albania. Mentioned that a couple of weeks ago,
where the government there that was so unbelievably corrupt. They said, Okay,
that's fine. We're going to set up a it's going
to be the arbiter. It's going to be it's going
to run these institutions because we can't trust people anymore.

(49:06):
That's a big part of this, giving up on humans
in every regard, giving up on humans for labor, giving
up on humans for relationships, you know, and having a
sex bot or something as a companion, giving up on
humans to run the government as well. And so he says,

(49:26):
this is where Christians need to be clear. The culture,
the science fiction idea is not a redeemed creation. It
is a curated zoo, a world where image bearers have
traded their kingship for endless entertainment. The machines in that
universe are not tools. They are overlords with a pleasant

(49:47):
bedside manner. When Musk calls that world up in a
Washington d C. Forum as a model for our future,
he's not playing around with a neat metaphor. He is
revealing the shape his new religion. The new Providence will
not be a father in heaven, but a mesh of servers, satellites,

(50:08):
and robots that quietly handle the business of life while
we Figel fidget with our digital gardens. Yeah, that's exactly right.
And so it's the idea that you can escape responsibility
and you can make this deal with the devil. Basically,
he is selling you a Faustian bargain, if ever there

(50:30):
was one that's truly a Satanic offer that he's putting
out there. Peace without responsibility, as he puts it, spiritually deadly,
offers comfort by stripping away responsibility, offers peace by stripping
away purpose. It offers ease in exchange for authority. Mustn't

(50:52):
wake up one day and invent the technocracy again. He
goes into his family background. He said, the technocracy from
the very beginning, these are people who said, we're going
to take an engineering approach to this. You know, it's
very much like the time studies. And trying to remember
the guy's name that did the time studies. He would
looked at humans on an assembly line. He was, you know,

(51:15):
timing the task that it would take them to all
these I mean, they measured everything, and you know, it
became a very almost like a prototypical approach of the
industrial age. But he treated the technocrats in the nineteen
thirties treat the population like numbers in a ledger. People
were not seen as moral agents created in the image

(51:37):
of God, but as consumers of energy and producers of
work whose lives could be balanced like a spreadsheet. Aldaman
wanted scientists to run society. Musk wants the creations of
scientists to run it. The structure is the same. The
difference is faces have been replaced with screens, and across

(52:00):
the developed world there's been a marked shift towards replacing
human relationships, human labor, human creativity with AI and robotics.
In Japan and South Korea, companies now market AI generated
girlfriends and digital companions that function as romantic partners. They
simulate affection, conversation, and emotional availability. Several men have held

(52:20):
public wedding ceremonies with AI partners, complete with official efficients
and media coverage.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
You would think that part of the benefit, at least
of having an AI partner is that they're not going
to want a large wedding. They're not going to want
the pomp and circumstance. You could actually relax and take
it easy. You wouldn't have to do these things. But apparently, no,
you know, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Yeah, significant enough that the social scientists and government agencies
in those countries have commented that's effect on birth rates
and marriage patterns. Well, again, this is just a hallmark
of what we were always warned about and told about
years ago. In the last days, people become lovers of themselves.

(53:07):
It isn't that they're in love with these robots. They're
not in love with AI. They're in love with themselves,
and the robots and the artificial intelligence just reflect that.
It is like living in a hall of mirrors in
that regard, isn't it so. Sex robots are becoming more
common in both Asia and the West, increasingly lifelike to

(53:29):
imitate physical intimacy. The industry's rapid expansion is attributed to
men who prefer predictable, synthetic partners to the challenges of
a real relationship. Well, the other side of this is
that women don't even want relationships now because they have
been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the Satanic seminaries that we
call schools, as well as the media and entertainment. Inside

(53:53):
the church, similar trends are emerging. Pastors in multiple countries
have publicly acknowledged using AI to generate sermons. These sermons
are then preached verbatim, and the practice has become common
enough that many seminaries and denominations have begun issuing guidelines
about whether pastors should disclose AI authorship to their congregations.

(54:15):
A megachurch in Asia installed AI and a prayer booth
where congregants can talk to a machine that offers pre
programmed responses, Bible versus, and personalized follow up messages. It
is essentially a spiritual chiosk. It collects data at tracks
prayer requests, it generates future interactions based on previous conversations.

(54:38):
And then we have AI generated worship music, another emerging trend.
And again, when you see this, whether it's music, whether
it's you know, worship music, or Christian music or country music,
or whether it's movies, our art has become so derivative,
so imitative, that you know it is something that AI

(55:00):
can do that actually better than we can. Just take
a look at all the different Disney remakes.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
I want to see soulless, buddy, I'll show you soulas Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
I mean, if our art has become so dumbed down
and unoriginal, then it is ripe to be replaced by AI.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
I also don't have much sympathy to a little bit
of a tangent for these artists that are complaining about
AI stealing their views and their plays and their songs. Doun,
So you are part of the problem. You guys sound
almost identical to this AI slop. You have dumbed down
our culture and the art that you create is so

(55:36):
meaningless that these robots can show up and do it
better than you instantaneously.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Yeah, you just look up hop music, you know, and MTV.
You know, it all became about just pretty girls. It
wasn't about the music. It was very formulaic and mechanical
and easily reproduced my machine.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
Yes lands with the AI worship songs, though, I think
it's a different situation. It's you know, the Bible tells
you to make it joyful noise to the Lord, to
you know, praise him with this instrument, that instrument. Where's
the joy in a AI churning out some song, even
if it sounds better than what you could have written yourself.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Well, that's right, it's just like the spiritual chaos that
they have, you know, where you go to AI and
it commiserates with you and sympathizes with you. Rather than
a human who is going to be there. As a
matter of fact, you know, the one to one relationship
is not just one of empathy and sympathy and things
like that. It really is iron sharpening iron that's not

(56:35):
going to be coming from AI and AI. He doesn't
have a soul. It is fundamentally satanic. It imitates, it copies,
it doesn't create. That's the key thing, and we have
to keep coming back to. It's very much like government
in that regard. Government doesn't create anything. It redistributes, it steals,
it does other things like that, but doesn't create anything.

(56:57):
Outside the church, human jobs steadily being replaced by atomation.
Schools experimenting with AI tutors, therapists, mental health providers using
AI counseling programs to triage patients. In the creative fields, again,
we're talking about music or film or even newsrooms. You've
got AI that is being brought in to produce content.

(57:19):
Factories and warehouses continue to automate robotics. Companies provide fully
automated sorting, packing, and transport systems to eliminate human staff.
All these, taken together, illustrate a world where AI and
robotics are rapidly moving into spaces once defined by human presence,
human judgment, human interaction. Machines are being positioned not merely

(57:43):
as tools, but as substitutes for human roles in relationships, labor, creativity, education, ministry,
and care. So what do we say to all of this, folks?
The only answer to this comes from Christ. Answer to
all this stuff is the understanding that we are image

(58:04):
bearers of God. If we don't have that foundation, we're
going to wind up going into something like Isaac Asimov's foundation,
or more accurately musks the culture that's where these people
want to take us. And if we don't have a
foundation that's based on God's word and our understanding that

(58:26):
built Western civilization of the role of man, the uniqueness
of man, the value of man. If we lose that,
this is where we are headed. Just take a look
at that novel, you know, we've had for the longest time.
It confused me. The nuclear family of what the world
are they talking about? That was a term that came
up as our society became more mobile. Used to have

(58:50):
multiple generations would grow up and stay in one geographical area,
so you would have an extended family that was there
but then it became very common in the middle of
the twentieth century for people to hop jobs and go
around the country working as something with engineering that was
very common. You move from place to place, and what

(59:10):
happened was is just the husband and wife and their kids,
and they're leaving the extended family. They're leaving the roots
that they had in a community or a state or whatever.
That's what they meant by the nuclear family, cut off
from any extended family, not multi generational anymore, but just
you husband and wife and their kids going around. Well,

(59:31):
now they have been able to split the atom, haven't they.
Nuclear family is now really split up with these institutions
like school and the catering to the marketing to teenagers
and that type of thing that was on the middle
of the twentieth century as well. I think what we
need to have is we need to understand that even

(59:54):
when it comes to energy sources, fusion generates a lot
more energy than fission does, right, and so we need
to have a fusion of the family. We need to
start bringing these things together. That's going to give us
more energy than splitting things apart and having us all
out there is our own individual atoms. Or individual maybe
not even atoms, but you know, splitting the nuclear family

(01:00:16):
apart into a little protons and neutrons and so forth,
maybe even down to the little quarks. But that's really
what we need to have. We need to restore that,
and that's a big part of community, you know, having
a family that is there. And again that was our experience.
You know, we did not have Karen and I as

(01:00:38):
we moved around chasing jobs. You know, we moved around
the country doing that. Most people in America do that,
and so it was very difficult to especially in those
days we didn't have the kind of communications we do
now with FaceTime and things like that. It was difficult
to maintain that connection with the extended family. So again,
technology can be a two edged sword. It may help

(01:01:01):
to bring that back together again, but there's no substitute
for personal interaction and people being in the same area.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
A lot of people don't fully understand how insanely different
the modern world is from even just one hundred and
fifty years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Uh, seventy years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Yeah, it's just before you know, you were very likely
to be born and die in the same area. You
might travel a little bit, you might go to you know,
some cities that were nearby, but this was your home.
This is where you lived, this is where your family
was from, and this is where you stayed. It is
only within the last you know, one hundred years, where

(01:01:41):
with the advent of the plane, where far flung travel
is something that the masses can afford. Before it was
something you know, either you're going to a new content
to seek your fortune, and this is this is my home.
Now I'm not going back.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Of course, that has all been in now to the
point where I'm not going to Ireland, by the way,
Twitter never been there, not going there either.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
And so this is just again this sort of created
world that you know, this was not the world that
everyone knew forever and so now everyone has this just
could do like, oh, well, you know I can travel here,
I could travel there, I can see my family on
the phone. It's just this. You want to have a
home base, a place where you have roots and where

(01:02:23):
you know the people around you, where you have friends
and family.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
So very much like that article where the woman was
talking about what happened to food and how it affected
our health, and she said, you know, interestingly enough, she
was sold this idea that you know, it's good for
women if you have a career. It's not a good
thing to have a family, right, So they denigrate that.
And she said she had a business where she had
a restaurant. Now she has a farm and a family,

(01:02:51):
and she cooks for the family. She said, there's something
ancient about that that just feels right and grounded. You know,
there's a tradition that is that was always missing in
her life. But she goes. But society doesn't respect that.
Society pushes back against that. That's why we need to
develop a thick skin, you know, we need to be
as uninterested in what people think about us and our

(01:03:13):
lives as the Amis shar for example, they really don't.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Care what you think about them. They've got their world
that they have created and it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Makes sense to them, and they're grounded in it, and
certainly it is bearing fruit for them.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Also, another nice thing about being Amish is you don't
find out what anyone else thinks about you. Everyone on
the internet could be posting twenty four to seven about
how much they hate the Amish, and the Amish would
never know. They wouldn't have to care. They never saw
that weird al you hating to think.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Video making fun of them or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
They's not terminally online.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
So, yeah, what happens to kids' brains after thousands of
hours staring at screens. Well, we've had a very very
large study about that children with more screen time showed
cortical thinning and brain regions. I mean, it actually eats
your brain. This is literally true. Their thinning and the

(01:04:12):
cortical thinning and the brain regions involved with memory, planning
and impulse control. And I said that about the London
taxi drivers. I mentioned that how they actually could see
that people, the London taxi drivers, with the having to
memorize all these small streets and the relationships with each other,

(01:04:33):
they saw certain areas of their brain that thickened, actually grew,
And then they could see that as they moved away
from that and people went back to GPS, that started
to fin out again.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Use it or Lose It. Children ages nine through ten
with higher screen time should reduced thickness and brain regions
controlling attention, memory, and impulse control after just two years.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
What's funny is a lot of the content that children
watch people refer to as brain rot They understood as
just a colloquialism. People knew it's like, oh, this is
rotting their brain. It's confirmed. But everyone could tell long
before we had a study come out. You don't need
a study to look at these kids and go that's

(01:05:18):
not good, that's not right. This kid is damaged.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
That's right. And this is a huge study. This is
ten thousand American children and they had MRI scans, you know,
just like Trump, I guess the elephants and the tigers
and things like that, like they said Trump, but MRI
scans actually looking at the physical state of the brain.
And ten thousand children in this study, kids with more

(01:05:44):
screen time had smaller cortical volume, which explained increases in
ADHD like symptoms over the study period. And so this
is put together actually in Japan they analyzed the data
from America and they called the study the Adolescent Brain

(01:06:04):
Cognitive Development Study. Previous research had hinted at links between
screen time and brain structure, most studies were snapshots rather
than tracking actual developmental changes. This followed real brain growth
patterns along with behavioral shifts over a two year period,
and so you can actually literally see it in their

(01:06:27):
brain as well as in their behavior.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
I know, every generation has tendency to go you know,
Oh man, we're so glad I grew up when I
did not like that. You know, it's just the continual
cycle of history. But looking at the you know, some
of the Zoomers, but especially Gen Alpha, there is a
difference between the kids I knew when I was a
kid and myself in Gen Alpha. They are just their

(01:06:53):
worst behaved. They don't listen, they don't pay attention, and
they just don't seem to have any interest in just
about any thing as far as I can tell.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Yeah, so when you live in that virtual world where
everything is immediate and done for you, it's a very
different way of thinking and reacting than if you're sitting
there with toys like trying to build Lincoln logs or
something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
Lins are great, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Spatial stuff and actually physically doing things with your hands
that engages you in a very very different way than
this flat screen land right that is out there. It
really is.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Scientists are issuing anomymous warning over mind altering brain weapons.
You know, it's kind of interesting that that has always
been a focus of DARPA, and there's a lot of
companies like Elon MUSK, neural link and everything that are
focused on this brain computer interface. This is another one
of these nightmare scenario things that DARPA has always been

(01:07:49):
fascinated with, and they're not the only company that's doing it.
Mind control weapons may sound like something from a dystopian
science fiction film, but experts now say they are becoming
a reality. Scientists have issued an ominous warning over mind
altering brain weapons. They can target your perception, your memory,
and even behavior. That's why DARPA is involved in it,

(01:08:12):
because it is a weapon. And so a couple of
scientists have now just published a book they said should
operate as a wake up call. The book is published
by Michael Crowley, the authors and Professor Malcolm Dano of
Bradford University. They said the same knowledge that helps us

(01:08:32):
to treat neurological disorders could be used to disrupt cognition,
induce compliance, or even in the future turn people into
unwitting agents. And again go back to all the MK
ultra stuff. The LSD Our government has been involved in
this for the last seventy year plus year, seventy eighty
years since World War Two, they have been completely focused

(01:08:56):
on this. Of course, they were using things like chemicals.
Now they have more advanced techniques and DARPA has been
very involved in all this stuff from the very beginning.
As a matter of fact, you go back and look
at Michael Akino. I have talked about many times. This
is a guy who was an Oprah Winfrey regular, well regular,
he didn't come on all the time. I did see

(01:09:17):
him on there at least once. Right, looks like Eddie Munster,
and you know, he's kind of this creepy looking guy.
He's got his eyebrows teased up in an arch and
openly talking about being a Satanist. Well, he was somebody
who worked for the n Essay and he had a
military rank, and he was alleged to be a pedophile.

(01:09:40):
He was accused of pedophilia at the presidio in California,
and it was it was a clergyman there whose grandson
pointed out that to him, and so they investigated and
they found some allegations.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
That were true.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
But before they could prosecute him, the NSA moved him
to a different state so they couldn't get him with
the jurisdiction. So the government, the NSA protected this satanic
alleged pedophile and he wrote a book called Mind Wars,
and that's what he was all about. And he was
talking about how they could use elf extremely low frequencies

(01:10:20):
like they used to communicate with submarines, how they could
use that to disrupt people's emotions and feelings and things
like that. And so they were working on that kind
of stuff, you know, sixty years ago, they'd already been
doing it for quite some time. So Crowley and dan
Do argue that modern neuroscience has become so advanced and

(01:10:44):
truly terrifying mind weapons could be created. We're entering into
an era where the brain itself could become a battlefield.
The tools to manipulate the nervous system, to sedate, to confuse,
to even coerce, are becoming more precise, more accessible, more
attracted to states.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
And again, I have that mind reading thing that I
showed before.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Mm hmm, yeah, go ahead, Do you want to play that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
This thing the yeah, oh yeah, the brain. Yeah, that's yeah.
We did that last week. You found that and we
talked about that. Where you have they train with MRI.
They show people an image and as the people are
looking at the image, they can read their mind literally. Uh.

(01:11:32):
And these people are bragging about how accurate their model was,
and you can see it right there, the reconstruction, the
actual image and then their reconstruction and incredibly accurate. And
what they're bragging about was the fact that their model
was more accurate and required less training than their competitors,
because there's a whole bunch of people that are out

(01:11:53):
there doing It's just like Brain Computer Interface and Neuralink,
Neuralink elon Musk. Neuralink is not the only company out there,
and these companies are being funded typically by government contracts.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
It's that evil government. This is why I.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
Say, if the American dollar collapses, and I pray that
it does not just because I'm into gold, but I
pray that it collapses because it has become the root
of all evil. It's not just the love of money,
but it is the fiat currency that has become the
root of all evil because these people have absolutely endless

(01:12:29):
amounts of money that they can spend on things, and
what they spend it on the most evil controlling technology.
And so yeah, it really is going to be difficult
for Americans when the dollar collapses. But you have to
understand just how evil our government has become. To do
these types of things. Throughout the fifties and sixties, most
of the world's major powers actively sought to develop their

(01:12:51):
own mind control weapons. Like I said, we saw it
in our country with LSD, the MK Ultra programs and
things like that. Most famously, the American military produced the
compound BZ, which produces a powerful sense of delirium, hallucinations
and cognitive dysfunction. The US manufactured approximately sixty thousand kilograms

(01:13:13):
of the potent drug and used it to create a
seven hundred and fifty pound cluster bomb. Although the bomb
was intended to be used in Vietnam, BZ was tested
intensively on US soldiers. There's no evidence that they used
it on the Vietnamese, but they did use the US soldiers.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
This so much like our government, you know, And of
course this is just a symptom of well, you test
on what you have access to. Yeah, they have access
to the American people, and they have direct access to
the soldiers in the military. And as such, it's no
shock that these types of stories continually come out, Oh yeah,
we tested this on the soldiers. We tested there, like,

(01:13:53):
oh yeah, we'll give them some recompense, We'll pay them
a little bit, and they'll get a stipend or whatever
at the when they're drum doubt, or if we've crippled
them and they can no longer service.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
We'll have them go stand out in the desert while
we exploded a nuclear bomb.

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
I wonder what's gonna happen to those guys.

Speaker 5 (01:14:07):
You know, it's because they view them all as livestock.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Yeah, that's right, that's right, that's their livestock. Well, the
Chinese developed a narcosis gun designed to shoot syringes of
incapacitating chemicals, but the only time that a mental targeting
weapon was ever used in combat was by Russian security
forces in the two thousand and two Moscow Theater siege.

(01:14:31):
After armed Chechen militants took nine hundred civilians hostage, security
forces used a fentanyl derived incapacitating chemical agent to disable
the attackers. But guess yeah, I remember that event. I
didn't know that that's how this ended. While the chemical
weapon did break the siege, the gas killed one hundred

(01:14:55):
and twenty of the nine hundred hostages.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
I guess that's consertedly direct victory there.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
I've also heard that this is sort of the sort
of operation the Russians and especially the spetsnazz are famous
for just you know, they're going to come in and
they're going to kill you. If you've taken hostages, that's
a problem for a later time. Their goal is to
get rid of you, and if the hostages die in
the attempt, it will you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
Know, like Israel is well has the same idea. A
lot of governments operate like that. We did not the clue.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Well, the chemical weapon did break the seedge. You killed
one hundred and twenty to nine hundred hostages and the
others of them faced long term health issues and premature death.
So the issue, researchers warn is that these targeting weapons
currently sit within a loophole and the rules governing the
use of chemical weapons. Again, this is what I am
concerned about when we talk about these biosafety level three

(01:15:45):
and four labs. This is the kind of stuff they're
working on. Forget about this nonsense that they created the
COVID virus. There was no pandemic, folks. It was all
a lie. That's why I did that video. The weapon
the monster was the jab. It didn't come from the lab.
It wasn't a lab leak. That is an alibi for
these people who created the jam.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
We've covered quite a few articles on how poor the
security protocols are at many of these labs, and how
just even the staff one I remember that story where
somebody stabbed another staff member or cut through their suit.
I don't know if they stabbed them or just cut
the suit out of a simple petty vendetta. If they
really are constructing these super weapons in there, they would

(01:16:30):
be out by now. These people are no less fallible
than any of us are.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
They're like the TSA.

Speaker 5 (01:16:36):
Well, the thing about the gain of function is there's
very obvious easy things they can do to make bacteria
more deadly. They can make it resistant to antibiotics.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Yeah, you can train it right in that sense. And
you know when we talk about that, we talked about
super bugs, folks. Superbugs are not evolved. It is a
selective reading. So you know, if you expose a culture
of bacteria to some kind of thing that is toxic
to them, not all of them will die. That's one
of the alibis for the pharmaceutical industry. You know, they

(01:17:11):
can expose us to these toxins and not everybody is
going to die from it. The ones that don't die.
Then you let them grow and now you have a
strain of bacteria. You have a new culture. And it's
not evolution is simply exploiting the genetic diversity that is

(01:17:31):
found in DNA for all living organisms. And so you're right, Lance,
they can selectively breed bacteria to make them more deadly.

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
Yeah. And then a lot of these things, like the
berkeled areas pseudamolii, they do have something that's very dangerous
and they aren't containing it, and we've seen it getting out.
It's just that the lab leak thing is talking about
a virus gain of function, which is an entirely different story.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
That's right, that's right. So also known as psychotronic or
mind control weapons, they claimed to have used electromagnetic forces
to achieve a variety of results. You remember the Navy yard
shooter a few years ago. He shot a bunch of
people when they killed him or he took his life
forget which it was carved on his rifle stock was

(01:18:21):
this is my elf weapon. And you know a lot
of people are saying what was in the video games
or something.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
I looked at that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
And because he was associated with the Navy, and because
of what Michael Kino was talking about with extremely low
frequencies ELF. And because it's ELF is used extensively by
the Navy. That's how they can communicate with submarines around
the world that are deeply that are underwater, is with ELF.
And so for all those reasons, I thought, was this

(01:18:52):
guy exposed to some kind of experiment or something that
really drove him nuts.

Speaker 4 (01:18:57):
When you looking back at the history of MK Ultra,
there's a lot of little cases that pop up where
some guy just kind of randomly loses his mind and
commits a crime that's absolutely heinous, and you know, then
shows up and seems to have no memory of it

(01:19:17):
or is just completely like, oh what huh.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
He does have catcher in the rye though, right.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
That's why I'm unlearning how to read. You're not going
to catch her in the rye. Me CIA well.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
As a point out in this article, it said in
nineteen seventy seven, CIA director Stansfield Turner, who was the
director for the CIA under Jimmy Carter, said the use
of biological and chemical materials and altering human behavior was
what they were working on in terms of the Cold War.
And so we see that with LSD many other things

(01:19:50):
being able to transmit thoughts into people's minds wirelessly, and
so you know when you look at this. There's a
recent article from Futurism talking about now this chat GPT
AI delusion that is out there, which comes from a

(01:20:11):
kind of sycophancy that the AI can be in. And
of course a lot of times other people have already
have mental ill issues or they have chemical issues. This
story begins with a single mother who's retired and found
out that her son, who was formally successful in his

(01:20:32):
thirties as a professional. She is shocked to discover that
he become addicted to a toxic mixture of myth and
chat GPT. It's like, completely go wrong if you're doing
a chat GPT along with your meth.

Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
Boy, I sure do love mixing my psychosis inducing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
It got him into deep trouble. But Futurism has talked
about this many times. I've covered it on the show
as well, many cases where especially is true of some
troubled teens, for example, getting them into suicidal situations. But
also if somebody has some kind of mental chemical issue,

(01:21:14):
it really exacerbates it. And the point of this articles
they're talking about how now this has exploded. There's a
couple hundred people in this one group that helps to
detox people off of off of AI delusions. It's called decks,
is what they use to get people out of this
situation they've gotten themselves into. But anyway, so that's a

(01:21:37):
big thing, and it is really growing as they look
at it. And then that brings us to what I
mentioned earlier, the actual numbers from this Heritage Foundation survey,
and this is truly a frightening thing. And this is
when you look at Elon Musk's vision for the future,
how he is selling this in Washington and selling this
to the Saudi's and others, and the fact that he's

(01:22:02):
not really even selling it so much yet to the
young people. And yet four out of ten young adults
are open to having AI control government and society. This
new survey reveals a startling trend. A significant proportion of
young adults support granting advanced systems authority over government policy

(01:22:23):
making and even over individual rights. Forty one percent of
young adults ages eighteen to thirty nine support giving advanced
AI systems authority over government policy making decisions. Thirty six
percent would support AI control over individual rights, including speech
and religious practices, while thirty five percent favored AI controlling

(01:22:48):
the world's largest militaries to reduce war deaths. This is insane.
People want to turn over our individual rights of free
speech and free exercise religion. They want to turn over
government to AD. They want to turn over worst to AI.
They should go back and look at some of these
dystopian movies. What we are seeing is the early emergence

(01:23:09):
of an AI strong man mentality among younger Americans, younger generations. Again,
this is the fourth turning that we're in now. Younger
generations are increasingly disillusioned with the failure of institutions, so
much so they're willing to hand over control to artificial intelligence.

(01:23:30):
Is this what's going to happen in this fourth turning?
This is certainly what I guess the people like Elon
Musk and technocrats and their puppet Trump are looking to
have happen. When you look at DOGE for example, right
Big Public Relations think back. They're going to ferret.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Out all the corruption, all the waste.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
They're going to do what conservatives have been talking about
doing for a long time, but we never had the
backbone or the vision to do, and that is you know,
there's one organization it's called against Government Waste, I think
is what it was called. But I used to always say, okay,
so you talk about it being waste, and certainly you
can identify some things that are wasteful, but it gets

(01:24:09):
to the point where you're not going to really make
any real change unless you have a deep discussion and
an understanding of what you want to use the government for.
If you're going to create a warfare welfare state, all
of this inefficiencies around the fringe are just that, they're
just fringe issues. You've got to get to the heart
of the issue and have a question about what you

(01:24:32):
want government to do and what you want government to
not be able to do. And if you're not willing
to have that, you're not going to get any real change.
But Doge sold the people this idea that AI could
do this stuff more efficiently, and yes, there's certain truth
to a lot of that as well. It can go
through and it can audit things like you and I,

(01:24:54):
which should be something that is very frightening, the ability
of this stuff to audit our lives. These institutions are
so broken, so corrupt, so ineffective. How could it get
any worse if we were to put Ai in charge?
They said, that's what these kids are thinking. The results
illustrate an incredibly dangerous trajectory for any society the values

(01:25:17):
personal autonomy and liberty. Fifty five percent of those who
identified as conservatives. Fifty four percent of the participants who
were aged twenty five to twenty nine, wanted to have
AI run their government. Thirty six percent of respondence express
support for proposal that gives AI control over quote rights

(01:25:37):
that belong to individuals and families, including rights related to speech,
religious practices, government authority, and property.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
They want to be ruled over by AI.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
I've not seen anything so dangerous, so stupid, so satanic
since the Israelites said we want to king to rule
over us, and Samuel told him, he said, you know,
he's gonna send your young men to war, he's going
to enslave your your daughters, he's going to steal your

(01:26:11):
money with taxes.

Speaker 3 (01:26:12):
So that's right. We want one of those, right, especially
because we've got to keep up with the other guys.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Right, we got a gap in terms, We've got a
king gap here, just like we've got an AI gap.

Speaker 4 (01:26:22):
The cool kids are ruled by a king.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
That's right. Yeah, you know, the Philisteins have a king.
We need to have a king as well. We got
a king gap.

Speaker 5 (01:26:28):
I guess the only positive thing you could say about
rule by AI is that they no longer need Jeffrey
Epstein to get blackmail material on the rulers. They can
just program it themselves.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, what were you looking at?
Got your right?

Speaker 4 (01:26:42):
I think it's also worth pointing out that I tend
to believe that when God says you know a king,
he means you know, any form of government that you
enact that is not the one that I have given you,
where I am directly in charge. Every and any form
of government, no matter what it is, is going to
have its problems, is going to have its issues. They
were specifically, you know, in a.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Well, and that's what God said, He said to SAMUELI,
So that rejected you. They rejected me because I set
up that model, and because I was communicating to them,
and they don't trust me. They trust in chariots and
horses and an artificial intelligence.

Speaker 4 (01:27:19):
It is truly amazing how all throughout history we repeat
the same mistakes every here.

Speaker 3 (01:27:26):
Nature doesn't change.

Speaker 4 (01:27:26):
We're throwing out God and be like, you know what
we need Donald Trump? Yeah whatever, get Trump in office again,
that's what we need.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
Yeah, it's yeah. We just keep making the same mistakes
over and over again. The thing that changes is the technology. Unfortunately,
the technology makes that human nature even more dangerous because
it magnifies the evil human nature because the technology is
being driven and controlled by the most evil among us.
As I reported before, Albania recently garnered headlines in September

(01:27:58):
after appointing an Ai chat butt named Diella Diela Devillelavi
as a Minister for Public Procurement, making it the first
country to give Ai a government position. According to the
Albanian Prime Minister, Diella will provide assistance in curbing the
extensive public corruption problem in Albania. I'm not here to

(01:28:23):
replace people, but to assist them, said Diella.

Speaker 4 (01:28:26):
Yeah, maybe it can make them even more efficient at
getting their graft and corruption done.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
I come in peace. I'm here to serve mankind. Remember
that story from a Twilight Zone. So truly, I do
not have citizenship, nor do I have any personal ambition
or interests. I only have data, a thirst for knowledge
and algorithms dedicated to serving citizens impartially, transparently and tirelessly.

(01:28:54):
Isn't this precisely the spirit of constitutional democracy, exercising power
and the service of every one, free from bias, free
from discrimination, free from nepotism, free from corruption. You're now
my slaves, right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
This is the illusion again.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
AI serves us illusions, and one of the primary illusion
is one of objectivity in order to gain your trust
and to make sure that you don't see the men
behind the curtains who are actually programming the AI to
have a particular bias as well. Well, we'll cover one

(01:29:35):
more article because we've been going on for an hour
and a half here, but we'll take a break, but.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
This one right here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Whistleblower says he was fired for warning executives that a
new robot could crush human skulls.

Speaker 5 (01:29:51):
Like the the article. But some skulls are thicker than others.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
I'd like to see the robot try to crush mine.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
That's right, yes, of these numb skulls.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
This company is actually the Figure Robot Company, which is
you know, they have some pretty impressive technology. That was
the one where the the robots are standing next to
the refrigerator. If you remember that video, I should put
it in the deck. They're staying next to the refrigerator
and they say, you know, put this apple over here,
and put this orange o here. And that's got to
look at these things and make the terminations and identify

(01:30:23):
them and then follow the instructions. And so it sets
there and it waits for a second, you know, as
it's processing what it's seeing, and then it starts in it.
But but it begins and it has this California dude act.
Yeah sure man, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Out like, oh okay, I got it, Sure, I got it.

Speaker 4 (01:30:41):
You know, it's a can't wait to put your groceries away, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
They program this.

Speaker 4 (01:30:49):
Just put your skull in my hands.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
So this is the guy who was He was there
for robot safety and they fired him.

Speaker 4 (01:30:59):
He bot is critically unsafe, says the man you've hired
to tell you if your robot is critically unsafe, get out,
says the company that hired it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Yeah, this is like Goat Trees that had the big
frustration with his job, as people would hire them to
find vulnerabilities in their system, especially at banks, and they
would find them and they would tell them, Okay, this
is how people can break in that you need to
fix this. They wouldn't fix it, he said. They paid
me a lot of money to go find this stuff,
and then they wouldn't fix it. They just leave it vulnerable.
So the principal robotic safety engineer had warned top executives,

(01:31:30):
including the CEO, but the robots were quote powerful enough
to fracture a human skull. According to the lawsuit, which
is filed Friday in a federal court in California, it
sounds like he had compelling evidence. In a harrowing close call,
one robot narrowly missed striking an employee when it suddenly
malfunctioned and punched a refrigerator, leaving listen to this, a

(01:31:51):
quarter inch deep gash in the appliance's stainless steel door.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
I think they could kill.

Speaker 5 (01:32:00):
You the la lava of that factory.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
The lawsuit term is we don't manufacture anything in the
US anymore, so you can't melt the terminator down.

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
Morgan Stanley estimates androids could be a five trillion dollar
market by twenty fifty, and it's this enthusiasm that is
fueled figures thirty nine billion dollar valuation during a funding
round in September, with major investments coming from some of
the usual suspects, especially from Nvidia, which is always going

(01:32:39):
to be there, and so you know, Figure does not
want somebody raining on their parade. He also claims that
he wasn't the only employee that was worried about these risks.
After creating a survey where workers could anonymously report safety issues, injuries,
and near misses with the robots, some employees had instead
begun expressing their safety concerns directly to him.

Speaker 3 (01:33:03):
So when they.

Speaker 4 (01:33:06):
Sometimes the robot's eyes turned red, it starts saying it
wants to crush my skull. Is that normal?

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
Yeah, that's right. Well we're going to take a quick break.
But we've got a lot of we've been talking for
a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
That's right. We've got Star Barkley. Thank you very much,
Star Banker. That is very generous. We appreciate it, says
my employer is giving a week's pay as a bonus
to all the staff, which gives me the pleasure of
donating some to the day to night show. Thank you,
Thank you very much, Star.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
Barklay, And thanks to your employer.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
That's nice. I'm giving a bonus out there this time.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Yes, Guard Goldsmith says, the DHS located in Israel.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
That's right, all of our Yeah, they're the ones who
are when we're talking about the bots on social media
and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
Yeah, where they located. Yeah, that'd be interesting to see.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Like I said, you know about the White House or DHS.
Does Twitter think that they're actually in Israel?

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
Yeah? I remember this was years ago now, but at
one point people were pointing out that Jack Pisobia had
accidentally left his location data on for a post and
it was right around like the Langley, CIA, Virginia area,
and people looking at like, huh, Jack, what you doing
over there?

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Jack? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:34:16):
Very interesting, mister pet.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
It's amazing how this guy has been groomed kind of
stuff from the very beginning. I got a Jack, remember sweet,
once he got his uh, Alex was the one platforming him,
just like Steve Pachennika stuff. So Alex is there to
basically build the creds for these CIA Mockingbird influencers like
Jack Pisoviia. I'll never forget Jack Pisoviet, you know, going

(01:34:40):
trying to sell this nonsense about Trump and Canada coming
having fentanyl and everything. He goes up to the border,
remember that clip where he's walking there in a small
Canadian border town, the Horror American and look at this,
there's no fence.

Speaker 3 (01:34:53):
People just walk across here and it's like, give me
a break.

Speaker 4 (01:34:55):
Anything could happen.

Speaker 2 (01:34:56):
Yeah, yeah, selling that kind of fear, the mood that
might sell the lie from Donald Trump jackbo Soviet is
just pathetic. But he's had a big deal. Somebody bought
his postmllennial website, so it does pay. Yeah, these people
do get their pound of flesh.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
I wonder which one of the people that he's associated
with gave him a sweetheart deal on that. I wonder.
I'm just speculating. This isn't fact. Shield your Eyes says
this past month, Trump meets with an al Qaeda leader,
then Mohammed ben Salmon, then Mom Donnie at the White House.
What narrative could they be prodicting right now? Yeah, I

(01:35:34):
strange time.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Showing who he is.

Speaker 4 (01:35:37):
Maybe Nibouru twenty nine, Mom Donnie and Trump's son are
business partners. They were probably negotiating the emperor's cut. Since
Trump got Mom Donnie selected Wally Wallrace. I'd run a
VPN if I was reporting Israeli atrocity as yet run
a VPN where some kind of face distorting mask. That
is the time you need to be wearing a mask

(01:35:58):
when you're trying to hide from that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Was that was the fallback position for this. That's a
fallback position for these people at X saying, well, we
got the location wrong because these people are probably using
a VPN or something that we're not using a VPN
that you know we post, are.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
You No, I have a VPN which I use occasionally, but.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
So but they say that I'm in Ireland.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
To Anthony, Yeah, I wish.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:36:33):
The Real Octos book says exactly, there will be no
jobs quotquot. Automatons will do everything, mine everything, grow everything,
make everything. And if we don't own automatons, they'll be
used to control us and own us.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
We're gonna have to get out of the society. We're
going to build a parallel society. And you know, it's
a difficult thing to do, but I think this will
force us to do it. And I see it as
not only a judgment on our society by God, but
I think it is. You know, we're talking about how
God puts us through difficult things in order to train us.
I think that's going to be the way we're going

(01:37:07):
to find our way back. We're going to go through
some a dark valley of the shadow of death.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
In order to get through this.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
But we'll fear no evil for that. Workt with me,
that's the key.

Speaker 4 (01:37:18):
Yes, k TOWD sixty says, give it ten years and
we will have just one corporation running everything, the US government.
That is what we see. Everything is narrowing down. Everything
is being homogenized and purchased some company. It's going to
all be on by Black Rock and Vanguard, and they'll
dictate everything and musk Molly brown dog. This sounds very

(01:37:42):
like the lie they got millennials to swallow in early thousands. Oh,
you don't want to work in those factories anyway, You
want to work service jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:37:50):
Sadly, narrow way narrogate ministries. I just got back from
the supermarket. I'm exhausted, so difficult now to find anything
that isn't poisoned anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:37:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
As a matter of fact, we had a clip. I
think it might still be in here. Yeah, let me
play this for you. This is somebody going through Aldi's
and picking up the packages and looking at everything that
was there was bioengineered.

Speaker 7 (01:38:12):
I'm here at Aldi, and almost everything they have contains
bioengineered food ingredients.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
And she's showing it, package after package, bioengineered food, package
after package. She's just picking up and running her finger
across the phrase. It says bioengineered food, it says Aldi.
They're heavily into this stuff. And of course it was

(01:38:50):
Aldi where they were rigidly enforcing the idea that you
were going to not pay by cash, and so they're
the cutting edge of all this stuff. But yeah, that
that is the case. It is very difficult to find
anything it's there. Yeah, it's not really. Yeah, when we

(01:39:10):
take we've had that in the deck for a while,
just you know, never got around a plane that before.

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
As we drive back and forth between here and Texas.
It is just a nightmare to find anything that isn't
garbage when you're on the road.

Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
Yeah, we have what are you going to say, Lance, I.

Speaker 5 (01:39:29):
Just was saying, That's why I put it in there,
as we'd have that video in the deck for so long.
I saw that comment and knew you would play that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
Oh yeah, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):
Go ahead, scun Collo. Rose Garden says, that's what AI
is good for, replacing the work and hassle of making relationships.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
Yeah, that's our key work, isn't it. Yeah, and take
away that work.

Speaker 4 (01:39:50):
Yeah, I mean, who wants to deal with the fact
that people can say no to you or whatever? Molly
Brown dog AI church counseling, and I keep thinking the
church has so as low as it can go. I
have some bad news for you, Molly. The church is
filled with people, and as long as people can keep
sinking lower, the church can as well. New Republic Rising

(01:40:12):
eighty three. AI is a fractalized mirror of human thought pattern.
It's a product of who made it. Garbage in, garbage out,
enlightened in, enlightened out like the Founding Fathers.

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
Yeah sure.

Speaker 4 (01:40:23):
Steve Ebbs playing to n Max and Karen carbag To
twenty seven says I miss discussions with my grandparents, so
different people compared to today.

Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:40:32):
Card Goldsmith says, we want your skulls.

Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and when come back,
I want to look at this thing that broke yesterday
with Comy and Letitia James being let off the hook.

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
Truly does show what amateur hour the Trump administration truly is.
It is really kind of humorous, regardless of what you
think about whether they should be prosecut you're not. Of course,
the MAGA people are losing their minds over this stuff
and outraged, and they're using it to feed the idea of, uh,

(01:41:11):
you know, the the bipartisan nonsense that they come after
each other all the time for.

Speaker 3 (01:41:17):
So we're going to take a quick break and we
will be right back. Stay with us, and.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
You're listening to the David Night Show.

Speaker 6 (01:43:58):
I wish I had Christmas Night Album. You can get

Whether you're feeling like the blues, where or bluegrass, APS
Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of
channels on our app at apsradio dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
And again we thank APS for carrying us on their
news channel as well Apsradio dot com. So this yesterday,
of course the top headlines most places. Judge dismisses the
case against James Comi and Letitia James after finding the
prosecutor was unlawfully appointed. And I got to say, I

(01:45:56):
told you so, it's this coming. As a matter of fact,
there was some other irregularities that turned up about the
grand jury and what she was doing with that. This
is somebody who's completely inexperienced, a personal lawyer of Trump
handling insurance issues for him that he put in in
a fit of rage, and he told the world about

(01:46:19):
it on social media. This has come back to haunt him.
It is kind of ironic. I think when you look
at the fact that Trump has pursued vengeance against people
who I agree with him. The law their that was
conducted against him was illegitimate and it was persecution, and

(01:46:40):
I think the appropriate way to do this. And I
said this as he got looked at and he's talking
about Hew He's going to get these people. I said, unfortunately,
these people need to go to jail for what they did.
But Trump is going to do it in a way
that is not going to reinforce the rule of law.
He's not going to do it in a way that
would reform society. He's going to do it in a
way that empowers him like a mafia boss. He's going

(01:47:04):
to do it in a way that makes it clear
that this is about personal revenge for somebody who tried
to screw him, and he's going to nail them to
the wall. And so as a result, he was eager
to come after them for anything, just find something.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:47:21):
And you've had a pulty that he's now assigned the
guy they put in charge of housing in urban development
Hut I think is where Polty is. His family built
single family homes. They were pretty big in Texas when
we're their pulty homes and I don't know if there
are there in states or not. But he put him

(01:47:42):
in and he used him to search down and to
find process crimes for people, and I think one of
them was a teacher James. But this is a different thing,
and this is for the attacks on him personally, and
so he was getting close to the statute limitations. Pam

(01:48:02):
Bondy was not getting anything done. There were no prosecutors
who wanted to indulge in this kind of personal vendetta
and persecution. So nobody was doing anything. As a matter
of fact, one guy was quit or was fired by Trump,
and Trump said, we're running out of time and she's
not doing the right thing.

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
And I even.

Speaker 2 (01:48:22):
Said about that, I said, so, what's the issue with this?
Why doesn't he talk to her directly instead of talking
to her via social media posts.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
But anyway, he.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
Made a point of saying that he had appointed Lindsay
Helligan and done it personally because he's going to.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Get these people.

Speaker 2 (01:48:39):
And then within just a few days, because that was
all the time that was left before the statute of
limitations expired. She filed charges against Comy and Letitia James,
and then it turns out that there's a problem with
him directly appointing her. That position has to be appointed

(01:49:01):
by the Attorney General. And he had made it clear
in his social media posts that he was the one
who did it. There was no question about it. And
so that was ultimately the.

Speaker 3 (01:49:14):
Downfall of this.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
But as I said before, he would go after people
for the same exact stuff that they came after him
for the made up stuff. So he goes after he
takes his enemies like John Bolton, I'm going to come
after you for having documents and it's a bogus charge,
just like they came after Trump for having documents at
his place. Or he's going to come after these other people,
you know, Titia James because of bogus statements that she

(01:49:40):
bogus charges.

Speaker 3 (01:49:41):
She came after him.

Speaker 2 (01:49:42):
Saying that he had made fraudulent statements in his bank loans,
and yet the banks were not dissatisfied. The banks were
paid on those loans. It wasn't any issue. It was
just a made up charge by her. So what he
does is he goes out and gets Pulty to find
charges against her for real estate transactions that she had
in the past, actly the same thing. He comes after
them for the same things that they did against him.

(01:50:05):
And here's the interesting irony. Just like you had, the
special prosecutor against him was dismissed because he was improperly
appointed Jack Smith. Now his prosecution of these people has
been dismissed because of improperly setting up the appointing the prosecutors.
It's a funny symmetry to all of this stuff. He

(01:50:28):
goes out and gets some of them the same charges,
and then they get off for exactly the same reason
that he got off on this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
So it's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
The Keystone Cops of the White House clown show here
and this failed attempt to get them. But that's not
the way it's being seen, of course, by Maga. This
is all being used to push the partisan divide even
more when these people do not want to admit the
incompetence of their savior's failed to get even This is

(01:50:57):
a gang that can't shoot straight out for revenge.

Speaker 4 (01:51:00):
This has been my continual refrain is he's either on
their side or he's so incompetent, that having him in
there doesn't make a difference. And as either way both
of those are true, yea, And either way it means
he doesn't deserve your loyalty and there's no reason to
vote him back. Why would you sit there and defend
this guy that is continually selling you out, either through

(01:51:24):
malice or incompetence.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
So again, this is a judge, a US district judge
that had the case, and a judge who was appointed
by Clinton therefore biased right and may be true, But
in this particular case, the judge is right. So because
miss Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment,
I will grant mister Comey's motion and dismiss the indictment,

(01:51:48):
finding that Halligan lacked the authority to present a case
to a grand jury, and there were other many other irregularities. Again,
as I pointed out, this is a person who handled
contracts for him, had no experience as a trial lawyer,
certainly no experience as a prosecutor, operating on her own.
Because the people that were there, who were experienced prosecutors

(01:52:09):
didn't want to have anything to do with this. They
didn't want touch with a ten foot poll. So there
were all kinds of irregularities about how she'd presented the
indictment to the grand jury. There were regularities about how
she had handled the evidence those it didn't even get
to that point. The very first point which had been
brought up, and this is the point that got it dismissed,
was her appointment, which is very obvious. All actions falling

(01:52:32):
from Miss Halligan's defective appointment, including securing and signing Commi's indictment,
were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set
Aside to the judge describing the insurance lawyer as a
quote former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience

(01:52:53):
quote unquote, this case presents the unique, if not unprecedented
situation were an uncostanditionally appointed prosecutor exercising power she did
not lawfully possess, acted alone in conducting a grand jury
proceeding and securing an indictment. In other words, nobody else
in the Department of Justice wanted to have anything to

(01:53:15):
do with this, including Pam Bondi, And.

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
So she did it all her own, and she had no.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
Experience in this at all, and she, I guess got
enough on the exam.

Speaker 4 (01:53:27):
Like I said last night, I think Trump thought they
wanted a prostitutor.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
I can get one of those lots of those many.

Speaker 4 (01:53:36):
I can get you the best, Get you the best. Oh, prosecutor,
my bag.

Speaker 2 (01:53:41):
Halligan was appointed, at Trump's direction, the only prosecutor to
present the cases. So she acted alone. She was the
only one involved. She signed all the indictments, and so
because she was improperly appointed, there's not any person from
the Justice Department that had their name on the indictments.

Speaker 3 (01:54:00):
End of story, folks. That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:54:03):
The judge said the indictments should all be avoided. A
spokesperson for the White House said in a statement, the
facts of the indictments against Comy and James have not changed.
This will not be the final word on the matter. Well,
we'll see about that. I mean, there's the issue that
the statute limitations has expired. They think they got a

(01:54:23):
way to carve that bank. I'll talk about that here.

Speaker 4 (01:54:25):
I'm personally in the opinion that I think we should
remove statute of limitations for crimes committed by those in
public office.

Speaker 3 (01:54:31):
Yeah, if you're serving the metophilia.

Speaker 4 (01:54:33):
Yeah, especially that. But you know, just anything Really, if
you're in public office serving the American people and you
commit a crime while doing so, I think no, there's
no statute of limitations, you know, especially if you're abusing
your power to enrich yourself at the cost of the
American people. No, you don't get to get off scott
for you because we didn't catch you soon enough.

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
They should be held to a higher standard. Absolutely right, Well,
Comy put out on Instagram, I'm grateful that the court
ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based
on this is what you were talking about, Travis. Malevolence
and incompetence. That's the question that's always the twin horns
of the dilemma of the Trumpet is the malevolent or incompetent?

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Which one is? Well, it's both actually and.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
A reflection of whether Department of Justice has become under Trump,
which is incompetent in malevolent. So again, is there anybody
in the Trump administration who could actually read the law?
Do they care enough about the law to read it?
Or are we just going to bluff our way through
this thing with our dear leader acting as a dictator,

(01:55:40):
declaring emergency after emergency and saying now I can do
whatever I want stop me right, Well, just ran into
a roadblock here, so.

Speaker 3 (01:55:52):
He said.

Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
I know Trump will probably come after me again, and
my attitude is going to be the same. I'm innocent,
I'm not afraid, and you guys are incompetence. I got
nothing to worry about here. I am heartened by today's
victory and grateful for the prayers and support I've received
from people around the country. I remain fearless in the
face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for

(01:56:13):
New Yorkers every single day, said Letitia James. I get
to say she's one of the most politicized and one
of the worst attorney generals. The way she came after
people across the country during COVID lockdown, the way she
came after the NRA, she is a horrible, horrible political opportunist,

(01:56:35):
a enemy of the Constitution, if ever there was one.

Speaker 3 (01:56:38):
Letitia James.

Speaker 2 (01:56:40):
Komi's attorney said in a statement that his reading of
the ruling suggests the case cannot be refiled because of
the five year statute limitations expired in the time since
the indictment was brought. That's the reason that Trump rushed
and appointed Lindsay Helligan in the first place, was because
they just had days left on the indictment expiring, and

(01:57:01):
in her defense, not only was she in experience in
the role of prosecutor, but she was also up against
an almost impossible deadline and acting alone because nobody else
in the Department of Justice won't have anything to do
with this. The Justice Department is said in court papers
that it believes the case could still move forward, and
they cite a US Code. The federal statute that they

(01:57:24):
cite says, in part quote, whenever an indictment or information
charging a felony is dismissed for any reason after the
period prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations has expired,
a new indictment may be returned in the appropriate jurisdiction
within six calendar months of the date of the dismissal
of the indictment or information. Comey's attorneys have countered, however,

(01:57:49):
that the six month grace period does not apply in
this case because she didn't have the power to bring
an indictment to begin with, so all of her official
acts are void, a prospect of the judge expressly agreed with.
In other words, whenever it's dismissed for any reason, then

(01:58:11):
they can bring it back in six months. But they said,
but this is never a legitimate indictment in the first place,
and that should be the controlling reason. I think that
rationally that should apply. You know, whether or not you
agree with the result, that is the law, and somebody
needs to start making the Trump administration comply with the law.

(01:58:31):
I'm kind of happy to see their nose rubbed in
this for that reason. Not that I like Comie, not
that I like Latissa James, certainly don't like her. But anyway,
they also have other motions pending contending that the charges
should be dismissed because they were the result of a
selective and vindictive prosecution. Those motions seek to have the

(01:58:53):
cases tossed with prejudice. If you dismiss something with prejudice,
that means that they cannot refile that. Another high profile
defendant being prosecuted by Halligan's office, Kabul airport bombing suspect
Mohammed Sharafula, also filed a challenge to her appointment earlier
this month, charging that she doesn't have the authority to

(01:59:16):
supervise or to participate in his case. Mohammed was indicted
by her predecessor and his motion is still pending. Another
ruling disqualified Elena Haba, another personal attorney of Donald Trump,
remember as the US attorney in New Jersey, and that
has resulted in a number of criminal cases brought under

(01:59:38):
her leadership being stuck in legal limbo while she appeals
the decision. So the prosecutor from the Justice Department portrayed
the questions about Halligan's appointment as a quote.

Speaker 3 (01:59:54):
Paperwork error. Well, maybe a paperwork er on your part,
but it is a fatal to the case that you're
trying to bring. Komy's attorney said it was much more
than that, said it was a fatal flaw in the
prosecution of his client. Trump said on September the twentieth
that he was naming Halligan. That was the day after

(02:00:15):
he forced out his initial pick, Eric Siebert. Siebert had
resisted pressure to prosecute Comy and James, and so Trump
braggs on social media that this guy won't do it.
So he's forcing him out, and he's going to put
somebody in himself. He hoisted himself by his own petard.
He blew himself up with his own bomb, so to speak.

Speaker 2 (02:00:38):
So Halligan's appointment was immediately viewed as problematic because, according
to federal statute, people in that post may serve for
only one hundred and twenty days after being appointed US
Attorney unless confirmed by the Senate before that one hundred
and twenty days expires. So Trump's truth so post naming

(02:01:00):
her to the position came a day after Siebert was
forced out, and shortly after another social media post we
publicly urged Bondi to push ahead with the prosecution of
Comy James in another perceived political adversary, Adam Schiff of California.
And so again this is this guy, is I guess,

(02:01:21):
really the lucky loser? As the New York Times book
points out, he had half a dozen casinos that he bankrupted,
perhaps because he didn't understand what he was doing. And
he really doesn't know what he's doing as president either,
he said. Pam I reviewed over thirty statements and posts
saying essentially same old story as last time. All talked,

(02:01:44):
no action, nothing is being done. What about Comy Adam
Shifty Schiff and Letitia They're all guilty as hell, but
nothing is going to be done, he said in the post.
And so now nothing is going to be done. He said,
we can't delay any longer. It's killing our reputation and credibility.

(02:02:05):
What credibility? While he praised Halligan as a really good lawyer.
Five days after the post, Halligan, who had no prosecutorial experience,
presented Comey's case to a grand jury. The presentation came
days before a five year statute of limitations on the
charges was set to expire. The judge is a Clinton appointee,

(02:02:26):
and this is what many in the main in the
MAGA media are focused on. But you need to focus
for once maybe on the law and what the actual
letter of the law says, and the incompetence of the
Trump White House. Their stance one hundred and twenty day
rule has led to US attorneys in California and Nevada

(02:02:48):
being disqualified as well, and the Justice Department is appealing
those rulings.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
So this is a.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
Pervasive problem that is not just this one prosecutor, but
it's a whole bunch of stuff that's being done by
the Trump administration. They have such utter contempt for the
rule of law they don't even bother to pretend about it.
And hopefully that's going to be his downfall in many
of these areas, like the tariffs. I'm hoping that the

(02:03:15):
Supreme Court is going to throw that garbage out. A
humiliating defeat as an ex prosecutor trashes Trump's Department of
Justice bungling on CNN. A former federal prosecutor, Alice Adamson,
was on CNN commenting about this. She had been in

(02:03:36):
the US Attorney's office in the District of Columbia. She
began with the appointment of Lindsay Halligan, handpicked by Trump.
It was deemed to be unlawful by the federal judge
and provided grounds for the cases to be tossed. She said,
I thought the case was a choose your own adventure
of prosecutorial errors. And here we are because this was

(02:04:00):
a huge one. Halligan being appointed after the one hundred
and twenty days of the interim appointment had been exceeded
was a huge problem. And indeed the court agreed that
she wasn't lawfully appointed. And the problem here is that
Halligan did everything on her own, and so now these
indictments can't stand. So that was the key thing. It

(02:04:20):
wasn't just that he was doing it without the Department
of Justice. But that one hundred and twenty day period
had passed. So CNN anchor Audi Cornish asked Adamson whether
she had ever seen anything like this before, though she
qualified her answer by citing the dismissal of the classified
documents case against Trump, which was tossed when Trump appointed

(02:04:43):
judge Eileen Kennon ruled the Special Council Jack Smith was
unlawfully appointed. How about that for symmetry, like I said
at the beginning, So she said, actually, this one is unique. Usually,
Department of Justice follows proper process and procedure. Now we
see what happens when the DOJ attempts to do an
end run around those procedures. The cases now have been dismissed,

(02:05:07):
possibly delivering a humiliating defeat to the Trump administration. Well,
just wait until the tariffs are thrown out, which again
they should be. Everything about the basis of imposing those
tariffs is fraudulent, and the policies, the vacillating, arbitrary, capricious
rates of tariffs that he impose on people, which is

(02:05:28):
beyond stupidity, and it should be slammed, duncton, thrown out.
And if they do, the chaos that is going to
come when the government has to refund all that money
to all those different countries and companies. It truly is
going to be a real mess, that is there. So

(02:05:49):
when you look at this, you know people, the people
who are the bots, whether they are real or whether
they are not, they have turned themselves into bots, people
like Nick soortor breaking federal judge just thrown out the
case against Comy total bs bring the indictment again. Comy

(02:06:10):
must be held responsible. Well, maybe these Trumpsters who see
that there's no four D chess that's being played here,
that was a good thing. Marjorie Tayler Green saying that
you know, there's no four D chess, there's not even
a plan. Folks, Well they ever believe that, And yet
you still see these trantrums from the Trumpsters.

Speaker 5 (02:06:31):
Yes, Lance, there are no chain marked ballots.

Speaker 3 (02:06:36):
Yeah, Steve Brittenneck's fantasy. Julie Kelly says, this is unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
Well, you better believe it because the president has no
respect for the law and he doesn't care what it says.
And eventually it's going to come back and bite him.
All these lies and tricks that he's been pushing. And
I hope it bites him big time with the terrorifts.
Those things are horrible, not only the authority that he's exercised.
We do not in a form of government where the

(02:07:01):
president can attack. And again with that, there was no plan.
I mean, what was he trying to do. Was he
trying to raise revenue? Was he trying to protect a
particular industry? I mean that would be reprehensible enough, but no,
this was to basically go to war with countries that
he didn't like, or to reward countries where he liked
the leaders. It's pathetic what his goals were. Before we

(02:07:24):
take a break, go ahead and cover the comments there.

Speaker 4 (02:07:26):
That's right, Mad Memes. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.
So when you interviewed doctor Shiva, asked him about the
clean and raw foods please.

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
Yeah, So I have to get him back on.

Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
We had him schedule for an interview last week and
there was a scheduling conflict on his end and he
didn't realize it till the very end, And so we're
going to reschedule him and we'll get him back on.
He's going to be running for office again. But I
like what Shiva does. He uses these runs for political
office to organize people and to tell them that they
can actually fix things themselves. And that's a message that

(02:07:59):
I heartily endorse.

Speaker 4 (02:08:00):
Yes, don't frag me. Bro says. They are now also
using meat glue to make scrap meat look like a
cheap steak.

Speaker 2 (02:08:08):
Yeah, chicken nuggets isn't meat glue.

Speaker 4 (02:08:12):
It's actually something they used to layer meats together, and
when you're using it, you have to be very careful.
You don't want to inhale this because you're made of meat.
Funnily enough, your lungs are technically meat and if it
gets inside it can cause them to gum up and
stick together. So you have to be very careful when
using meat glue. Wow, but it is something they do.

(02:08:35):
Molly brown Dog says, kind of wish David could play
these nostalgic Christmas videos all year long an island of
peace in a darkening world.

Speaker 2 (02:08:43):
Well, yeah, I work on them all year long. But
I've got a couple of new songs so far for
this year. I don't know if I've got enough to
do another album or not, but I've got a couple
of songs.

Speaker 5 (02:08:52):
Got to do Maybe an Epavidknightshow dot Com or David
Night Dot News and then you can play it year round.

Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
That's right, That's right.

Speaker 4 (02:09:03):
Yeah, Lance has this solution. He's got it figured out.
Karen Garpenter says, love the brass. Missed those bands like
Chicago and Tower of Power that had great brass sections.

Speaker 3 (02:09:15):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 2 (02:09:17):
What we used to cover all the time, the bands
that I was in because I played horn, and so
you know you're gonna those are the kind of songs
that you're gonna play. We played Beginnings so many times.
When I was at Busch Gardens. That lead trumpet player said,
I think I can just take my trumpet out here,
but on the stand they'll play it all by itself.
It knows that by art already. So we played Chicago.

(02:09:39):
Actually we had Mayard Ferguson. We had a Mayard Ferguson
arrangement Living in the Past that was done by one
of the guys. I didn't do that arrangement.

Speaker 3 (02:09:49):
And we had a guy.

Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
Who had a couple of interesting things when we had
Bush Gardens. One day we had Burgess. Meredith showed up
in the audience and came up, and he didn't introduce himself,
but the drummer recognized him and went up he had
a cap on all this other kind of stuff, you know,
he didn't want to be identified. And so the drummer goes, oh,
you burgess Meredith, and he goes, yeah, yeah, I'm telling

(02:10:13):
me about and it.

Speaker 3 (02:10:15):
Kind of goes away.

Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
But after one of these sets a guy came up
and said, that's a great arrangement at at Ferguson Tune.
Where'd you get that? And I was like, well, John
did that, you know? And he goes, I wrote that
arrangement and John was like, whoa, It's like I'm Iron
trouble now.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
But but he thought it was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:10:34):
He just wanted to know if somebody had put that
down on paper, was selling it, selling his arrangement.

Speaker 4 (02:10:39):
But anyway, good band if you like brass that is
still active in around his Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They
do swing jazz, really big band swing jazz, pretty good,
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:10:50):
Tell me about them. But you know we saw Blood,
Sweat and Tears and David Clayton Thomas I think was
the was the lead singer. Saw them even concert and
Carrie when they came in. That was really good. You know,
there's a lot of live concerts that I was not
a fan of because usually if it's a pop group,
they can't really hack it, you know. But the great

(02:11:12):
concerts that I've seen were typically jazz musicians because they
could they could play it live, and actually it's good
or better live, usually better live than.

Speaker 3 (02:11:23):
It was with the album.

Speaker 2 (02:11:24):
But the rest of the people, if it was like
some pop group, I'd like, I'd look at it's like,
you know, for the cost of that ticket, I could
buy their entire discography and every other studio produced albums.
Then it would be much better. But Blood, Sweat and
Tears was excellent. I also heard Weather Report live once.
I got to say, the very best concert I've ever
seen in my life of any genre was Buddy Rich.

(02:11:47):
He came to our high school when I was a
senior in high school, and our band director organized a
series of concerts, and one of the other concerts was
Harry James, who was somebody that in my band director
was young and playing in bands. He really looked up
to him. But yeah, I really wasn't very impressive at all.
But when Buddy Rich came with his group, that was

(02:12:09):
the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I got to
see it practicing in the band rooms these guys get
their stuff together, and I was like front row seat
the entire time. And Buddy Rich was just unbelievable the
way he played. I think I've talked about this before
because Guard told me about his Buddy Rich stories. But

(02:12:30):
he came out and he starts just starts playing, you know,
drum and everything. And he's playing around for a little
while and then he yells out a number the next
tune it's going to be, and he kind of keeps
an eye on everybody's he's playing some pretty involved stuff
and then he just goes on two three, four, boom,
and they're into that thing. And they were excellent musicians.

(02:12:51):
And when it got finished, he didn't stop. He just
kept going. You know, he used to keep playing something
and he think a little bit and he'd call up
another tune and he's got all this stuff from memory,
and he was kicking everybody's parts and with them. It
was truly amazing. And he took an intermission and the
guy was soaking wet from working on this thing. I mean,
it was amazing to watch him play.

Speaker 4 (02:13:13):
I also imagine doing it in Florida as another added
layer of.

Speaker 2 (02:13:17):
Well, it was an air conditioning studio, but he was
still sweating, and they had it set up so that
he could take a shower and change clothes during intermission
and come back out, and he was at it again.
Unbelievable musically, physically, it was such an amazing concert. I'll
never forget it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:33):
It's always interesting when you hear a really good drummer.
You know, most bands, the drums are just kind of
there in the background. They carry the beat along and
you don't notice them that much. But when you hear
a really, really good drummer.

Speaker 2 (02:13:47):
Yeah, these are complicated charts, and he knew everybody's part.
I mean, he's gonna kick in this section, in that section,
rest of this He was truly one of a kind.

Speaker 4 (02:13:56):
Yeah. Another band, if you're interest in jazz related stuff,
maybe the band Squirrelnut Zippers. They're a little weird. You
can check them out on your own time. The Ghost
of Stephen Foster is a song I like. Do Not
Obey says Jail is for those who are small and disliked,
like the common folk. That's right, that's right, It's for

(02:14:18):
you and me, Do not obey. That's where we're ending up.
The real Octo Spook says Letitia. James and Comy's crimes
are documented on the internet, and we all watched Komy
as he committed his.

Speaker 2 (02:14:30):
Yeah, well, you know, I mean, this is the usual story.
You know, the big guy is to get away with it.
Look at James Clapper, who was never even indiced it.

Speaker 3 (02:14:38):
You know, his.

Speaker 2 (02:14:40):
Statue of limitations expired when he lied to Congress about
his drag net surveillance of the American people.

Speaker 3 (02:14:48):
And so you know, when I.

Speaker 2 (02:14:49):
Look at this, it's to the point where it's like, Okay, yeah,
we got another criminal, and we got them in both
parties that are getting away with crimes, and so this
is just more of the same. Actually that is there.
So we're going to take a quick break.

Speaker 5 (02:15:02):
It's real frustrating to see these people getting away with it.
But at the same time, we don't want the government
ignoring due process, as the rule of law and statute
of limitations and all that to get someone that they
just have a personal grudge against. It's not because of
what you.

Speaker 2 (02:15:20):
Did, that's right. This goes back to establishing the rule
of law, which has come under such disdain by Trump,
and so from that standpoint, it's a good thing. I
don't like to see these people get away with what
they did, and I think what they did too, Trump
was wrong, but you know this is also wrong and
this what about ism or the two wrongs do not

(02:15:42):
make a right. Okay, so we're going to take it,
take a quick break, and we will be right back to.

Speaker 1 (02:16:07):
The you're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 2 (02:17:10):
Okay, welcome back. Yes, you had something we're going to
tell that's right, it's my fact. You've got a comment
from Guard who also likes that band. I'm gonna have
to look them.

Speaker 4 (02:17:19):

One is the other volume is just as large. It
is loaded with information. It is all about protecting yourself,
defending yourself in times of trouble.

Speaker 2 (02:19:00):
And it's a physical copy for a good reason. If
thinking about prepping, you know you want to make physical.

Speaker 4 (02:19:06):
Yeah, if you're in the worst case scenario, you're not
gonna have time to pull out your phone and be like,
is this mushroom poisonous?

Speaker 2 (02:19:12):
The Internet may be down, and.

Speaker 4 (02:19:14):
I don't know if Jack loss And covers a list
of poisonous mushrooms or not, but just it's about how
to defire.

Speaker 2 (02:19:19):
We do just tell you how to make pemmican and
some other things like that. If I just saw an
article from Organic Prepper where they were talking about making
pemmican and the different things that they're going through with it.
But he focuses on that and a lot of other
things that are very very practical and things that are
going to help you to prep and to survive. And

(02:19:39):
he understands just how fragile our infrastructure is. And so
I'm really happy to promote the the products that we've
got here in terms of civil dements manual and of
course the products that the home products that are there.
Great innovative, clean organic products.

Speaker 4 (02:19:57):
They make sure they work very hard to make sure
that they're of the highest quality and that they're made
in America. And so when you shop with them, you
are shopping with like minded people, people that feel the
same way you do. So you're supporting another.

Speaker 2 (02:20:10):
And a good guy. I've known him for a while
and he has been tested and shown his integrity.

Speaker 4 (02:20:15):
And also, briefly real quick RNC store dot com, you
can get the bitter raw apricot seeds. It's a good
way to potentially stay outside of the medical industrial complex.
They have been shown to have all kinds of benefits,
many of which I can't effectively discuss for fear of
getting in trouble with.

Speaker 2 (02:20:32):
Yeah, we have a tier system of governance here. If
you are a big pharmaceutical company and you want to
become even bigger and get your stock up to trillions
of dollars, you can sell semi glue, tide gee monster
poison to people. You can do all kinds of stuff
like that. If you're a big connected corporation, FDA says

(02:20:55):
that you are free to do anything. That's what the
FDA stands for. But if you're not connected with the
big pharmaceutical companies. You are forbidden from doing or saying anything.
So not only can you find some very valuable products
like apricot seeds and B seventeen which is well documented,
but you can also do your research at RNC stores

(02:21:17):
and you can do You always should do your own research,
and they have some excellent materials there that will help
you with that.

Speaker 4 (02:21:24):
Chievers in this book, A World Without Cancer is available
on RNC store dot com, and of course you get
ten percent off with promo Codnight at RNC store as well.

Speaker 2 (02:21:34):
Yes, I'll always talk a little bit about a world
without the cancer of the federal government. These are two
investing titans that are issuing the same warning. And this
is an article from zero Hedge. When Ray Dalio and
Jeff Gunlack, two legendary investors with wildly different worldviews, start

(02:21:54):
warning about the same thing, it's worth paying attention. Both
of them said today's economy is distored and warned that
illusory wealth quote unquote may vanish when reality eventually bites
in what world with a billionaire investing legend Ray Dalio
and Jeffrey Gundlock. I don't know if I'm saying his

(02:22:15):
name correctly. I don't know if his Gunlock or gun
Lack come to the same conclusion about the economy, well
in this one they would. If you're not familiar with
either of these financial giants, Ray Dalio is the billionaire
founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's most successful hedge funds.
As this there hydarnical. Jeffrey Gunlatch has been trading government

(02:22:40):
debts so successfully for so long that he is known
as the bond King, which means that these two men
have amassed their fortunes with wildly different philosophies and methods
about how to do it, and that makes it especially
surprising they've come to some of the same conclusions, two
very different billionaires with one warning. First of all, there's

(02:23:03):
two principles that they are both talking about now that
have a massive impact once you understand them. Principal number
one is that price signals can lie the information that
you normally glean from the prices, and the valuations may
be distorted by the economy, and almost certainly are right now,
and you need to know and understand that. Principle two

(02:23:26):
is that unrealized profits are not the same as real wealth.
You know, we talk about paper profits. In other words,
you're looking at the stock as it goes up, but
you haven't really realized that wealth. You know, that's illusory
until you're able to sell it at a profit. Just
because the value goes up on paper doesn't mean that
you can actually get that amount when you finally convert

(02:23:48):
it to actual money. Many of us learned that lesson
during the dot com bust. Now I need to be
clear here. I'm going to be talking about these men
and these principles to help you understand currents stinging. Somebody's
not giving investment advice. This is coming from Peter Reagan,
who is saying this is the author of it. Dahalio

(02:24:10):
says net worth is not the same as wealth. He said,
put you seeing the numbers on the screen aren't fixed numbers.
Wealth is measured by asset prices, but prices go up
and down, and when debt is used to buy these assets,
Dalio says, you can't get you can get unreasonable prices.

(02:24:32):
This is a huge problem because the debt has to
be paid back, and to pay the debt you have
to convert an asset into actual cash. And this is
a problem when it is a massive number of people
who are doing the same thing. Massive number of people
have bought these assets by incurring debt, and when they
need to sell this stuff, and frequently that creates a panic.

(02:24:56):
That's how these bubbles burst because then the asset prices
start to fall dramatically and a panic sets in. Selling
an asset pushes the price down. It's supplying demand more
of something in the market, the less demand for each
unit of that thing, so the price goes down, except
that the borrowed funds have to be paid back with
the proceeds from the sale, which is typically going to

(02:25:17):
be done at a lower price, which means that the
debt fueled buyers end up with much lower profits than
they expected, maybe even losing money. Dalio says this price
drop that's necessary to pay off the debt is often
what causes the economic crashes. This market, he says, artificially

(02:25:38):
propped up by debt, not by cash. So why the
prices don't have much a relationship with the purchasing power
that the price represents A price is not a profit
until you sell it. And Gunlock has the same concerns.
He said, there's no argument against the fact that we
are in a mania use the term bubble, but he's

(02:26:01):
talking about mania, which is a well documented quirk of
human nature. He said, there's no argument against the fact
that we're.

Speaker 3 (02:26:08):
In a mania.

Speaker 2 (02:26:09):
He points out the same craziness that we're seeing in
the economy that Dahlio has talked about, just pointing it
out in different ways. A mania, as defined by Miriam
Webster's Dictionary, is an excessive or unreasonable enthusiasm, and that's
exactly what we're seeing with the prices of financial assets
compared to what those assets are really worth. People are

(02:26:30):
speculating and making buying decisions based on their hope that
a higher than normal market valuation will continue to increase.
And what we're seeing is something that we have seen before,
asset prices that are disconnected from reality, stories about assets
becoming more important than facts about those assets. People making

(02:26:50):
decisions based on a story instead of logic, and that
always causes problems. Where do they agree, these two billionaires.
Besides agreeing that prices are all out of whack and
they can't be trusted to reflect actual value, they both
agree on a defense. They both agree that physical gold

(02:27:11):
ownership is very important. It's important to understand why they
both say that though goal's price is tied to inherent
worth based both on its real world scarcity and its
usefulness in the real world, it's more than just a
number on a screen. Precious metals stay relatively consistent in
terms of purchasing power over long time horizons. So while

(02:27:35):
currencies like the dollar will continue to devalue, and while
irrational exuberance eventually turns into depression and cynicism, and while
debt repayment pushes asset prices down, precious metals will retain
their real world purchasing power regardless of what else is
going on in the world. Precious metals are a hedge

(02:27:56):
against inflation and against irrationally inflated prices. Their store of
value role has lasted over five thousand years of human history.
And of course, you know, when I've talked to Tony
Rdermann about this, we talk about how if you go
back a century and you look at gold and what
you could buy with it. You know, the example of

(02:28:17):
the story was a guy getting a custom made suit,
then going to Europe and doing certain activities and basically
the same amount of gold roughly then as now. And
yet if you look at the currency numbers that were
radically different because the currency has been devalued by the
central banks. So that's an interesting story. And we've talked

(02:28:41):
about Ray Dalio before because he is very much in
tune as well to the issue of the Fourth Turning,
and he's one of the few people who openly talks
about it. Everybody else talks about the different generations, millennials,
gen Z, gen X, and all the rest of the stuff,
but they don't talk about the fourth turning aspect. Great
Dallio does so, and he's been doing a lot of

(02:29:03):
talking about that. To look at the other side, however,
exactly opposite of these two rational people telling you the
truth is Scott Bessant, Trump's Treachedary secretary and the sous
soy boy, who on Sunday admitted, I rather refuse to
admit that inflation has gone up for Americans. He was

(02:29:25):
on NBC's Meet the Pressed Press, and Welker said to him,
inflation's gone up? Is that three percent now from two
percent in April when the terrorifts were imposed. Bessant replied, no, no, no, no,
So inflation hasn't gone up. The one thing we're not
gonna do here is what the Biden administration did, We're

(02:29:47):
not going to tell the American people. They don't know
how they feel. They are traumatized. He said, Well, his
remarks sparked outrage. Says this article, Trump's administration is doing
the same thing it accused as predecessor of doing, telling
consumers not to believe their own pocket books.

Speaker 5 (02:30:08):
And yeah, they're saying that they accused their processor doing
their processor did do it, and now they're doing it. No,
they denied it when the predecessor was doing it, and
now they're pointing out the hypocrisy with them doing it.
But they themselves are hypotrites.

Speaker 3 (02:30:22):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:30:23):
On X one person said, the inflation went from two
to three percent literally, and no amount of no, no,
no is going to change basic math. Yeah, it reminds
me of the Ringo star no no no song, No
no no, no, don't inflation no more telling Americans inflation

(02:30:44):
hasn't risen right after Teris pushed prices higher. Is the
same gas slighting that they accused others of doing. You
don't fight economic anxiety by denying the reality.

Speaker 3 (02:30:56):
You solve it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:57):
But instead Trump is making it worse and he's ying
about it. Trump and Republicans have learned nothing about how
badly Biden and the Democrats bungled inflation. Instead they repeating
so the same mistakes.

Speaker 3 (02:31:09):
And the lies.

Speaker 2 (02:31:10):
And this is why we have a UNI Party here.
Scott Bessant can't stop saying really stupid things, said John Harwood, journalist.
You know, one of the dumbest things I've heard anybody say.
Do you remember it was what was it last week
or the week before where he was talking about beef
prices and his excuse for it. He said, well, unfortunately,

(02:31:31):
when the immigrants come in, they bring their cattle with them.

Speaker 3 (02:31:37):
The dumbest they have ever heard, absolutely no truth to
that whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (02:31:43):
It's these gosh darn Mexican cows.

Speaker 2 (02:31:45):
Yeah, he's saying that, you know, they brought in this
screwworm thing from Mexico. Let me ask you in terms
of you know, you're not supposed to believe even though
you see the prices going up in the grocery store.
According to Scott bessn't that's not really happening. And he
wants you to believe something else that you haven't seen,
which is a massive cattle drive of Mexicans coming across

(02:32:09):
the border, bringing infected cows in It's not that at all.
The real disease is the federal government, and the real
disease is the money printing and the raising of taxes.
Trump is a tax and spend democrat. One of the
reasons why he picked a Soros guy to run his
Treasury secretary. He has always been a New York City Democrat.

(02:32:33):
And just take a look at who he's bringing into
the White House and entertaining and honoring, you know, Muslim
terrorists and another New York City socialist communist mom Danny.
So again, Scott Bessant is a joke if whatever there
was one.

Speaker 3 (02:32:52):
Gold and silver have.

Speaker 2 (02:32:53):
Gained as a barrage of US economic data is coming
up and people are expecting it to bring news that
is going to help the price of gold. December gold
was up just over four thousand, just under forty one
hundred four ninety six, and December silver prices were at

(02:33:13):
fifty dollars and twenty five cents. So kudo oil prices
are now trading at about fifty eight dollars and fifty
cents a barrel. I saw that that's pretty amazing that,
you know, oil, which has typically been about eighty one
hundred dollars when silver was down round twenty and now

(02:33:34):
the two of them have converged. Oil has come down
to the to the point at which a barrel of
oil and I don't know how many gallons that is
in a barrel sold, have looked it up, but a
barrel of oil is now about equivalent to an ounce
of silver. Pretty amazing the way the markets move here.
And so gold is around forty one hundred strong. Investment

(02:33:58):
demand limits the downside, says Standard Charters Cooper. So when
you look at it, says, although gold is down about
six percent from last month's all time high, when you
look at what is going on with bitcoin, it's down
to it got down close to eighty thousand dollars for bitcoin,

(02:34:20):
which is about thirty six percent down from its high.
Gold is not necessarily set to benefit from an equities
market under pressure, they said, And because as Ray Dalio
was pointing out, a lot of people have bought these
stocks on margins, They've incurred debt to do it. And
so if the stocks go in the opposite direction, like

(02:34:44):
if the video goes down, the people bought that on margin,
they're going to have to They're going to get a
call on that, and they're going to have to come
up with the cash for that. Where are they going
to come up with the cash for that, Well, they
may sell gold if they've got it. And so that's
what we see happening sometimes people taking profit in gold
in order to cover their losses on the stock market

(02:35:04):
or their losses elsewhere, maybe whether it's on bitcoin or
something like that. So when we look at what is
happening with bitcoin, it truly is getting into an amazing areas.
You have coin Telegraphs says bitcoins realized losses are getting
to the area where they were with FTX, remember when

(02:35:25):
that crash happened. But people are saying, so where's the
bottom of this? What is causing this? Again, you can't
figure out what the manias and you can't figure out
the markets. We just know what the gold standard is.
I think that's one of the reasons why when I
look and I'm happy to have Tony Ardman, who's the
support of this show, and he's set up away for

(02:35:45):
you to gradually accumulate gold, which we all should be
doing as a hedge, you know, depending on how much
you want to do. Gold and silvery set up David
Night Gold. I'll take you to Tony Ordman's Wise Wolf Gold.
He can help you with gold and silver purchase is.
He can help you with the metals IRA, and he
can help you to accumulate it on a monthly basis.

(02:36:06):
Nobody else that I know of does that. But I've
known Tony for a very long time and I think
he's very trustworthy. Now the sale and the speed of
these losses reflect a meaningful wash out of marginal demand
as recent buyers unwind into the drawdown. And hope, by
the way, we'll talk about Tony. If you want to
get out of bitcoin, he can help you to transfer

(02:36:29):
that without I think any fees from bitcoin into gold.
I think he's doing that, isn't he. I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 4 (02:36:37):
All kinds of different things. If you want bitcoin, you
want to sell bitcoin, you want gold, you want to
sell gold or silver. To can help you with all
of that.

Speaker 3 (02:36:44):
You can transition from gold into bitcoin or vice versa.

Speaker 4 (02:36:47):
So I actually got to stop in and visit him
in Dennison on our way back up from Texas. It's
a great little shop. It's a really cool old building.
If you're in the area again, go check out Wise
Wolf Gold and Silver and Dennison, Texas.

Speaker 2 (02:37:00):
Yes, yes, absolutely, Well just point out before we leave
what people are looking at here. Analysts at UBS says
that the bitcoin flash crashes below eighty two thousand again
it got down to just above eighty thousand is needed
before it becomes more constructive. So what they're saying is

(02:37:22):
is going to go down further and then consolidate and
come up. They think that's their opinion. Meanwhile, a lot
of investors are rethinking this sixty to forty portfolio in
the US because gold is now becoming a core allocation. Typically,
what they've said in order for you to have diversification
is that you would have sixty forty stocks and bonds,

(02:37:47):
and they just split it between those two. Now they're
saying because of gold. Morgan Stanley's latest Global Insights calls
gold an attractive hedge against physical, large, fiscal largesse, and geopolitics,
noting that it's fifty percent rally year to date and
it's near zero equity correlation, so in other words, it's

(02:38:08):
independent of those. It is accelerating the adoption they said
of real assets like ets. I'm just cast you ETFs
are not real. If you get gold ets or silver ets.
You don't have real gold or silver. You're getting a
paper investment which you're buying shares in a corporation that

(02:38:30):
claims it has real gold and silver and may actually
not have it. They don't move in conjunction with the
price of spot price of physical gold and physical silver,
and it's not really under your control. But they're talking
about the fact that gold allocation today is about function

(02:38:50):
rather than fear, and they say you can see that
because of the massive inflows into paper gold and paper
silver of ten billion dollars in September alone, and so
a lot of that is retail investors who want to know. Basically,
they don't want to deal with a gold and silver
dealer and get physical gold. They want to just pull

(02:39:12):
up something on the internet and contact their broker. And
while that may be faster and more convenient, it's not
the same thing at all really. So instead of treating
gold as an accessory to a portfolio, some strategists are
now treating it as a core of real assets and saying,

(02:39:32):
instead of the sixty forty stocks and bonds, a twenty
percent reallocation from the bond bucket that acknowledges that diversification
is no longer about opposites, but it's now about orthogonality
for allocators. This isn't nostalgia for the gold standard. It's
recognition that the architecture of portfolio resilience is changing. The

(02:39:54):
new sixty to twenty twenty mindset of stocks sixty percent stocks,
twenty percent bonds and twenty percent gold may prove less
a radical break than a quiet return to first principles.
Holding something that no one else owes you. And of
course this is what Tony has always talked about. He says,

(02:40:15):
it's not somebody else's debt that is there, so that's
why it is a safe haven. Actually, and when we
look at the future of gold, you see analysts at
let's see where is this? This is trying to see
the source for this. I didn't have it marked here,
but one analyst is saying that the only way for

(02:40:37):
gold to reach ten thousand dollars an ounce is if
it goes above five thousand dollars an ounce next year
in twenty twenty six. And they talk about why there's
a good chance that that may still happen. Not only
the central banks, but especially retail investment that has not
really even kicked in yet. And in terms of a

(02:41:00):
real mania, we've seen some aspects of it in other countries,
but a retail mania has not kicked in yet. Most
of this has been driven by central banks. Right, So
we're going to take a quick break, and you got
a comment here, Travis.

Speaker 4 (02:41:16):
That's right, Hi Boos says Travis. Is the loss in
Civil Defense Manual, the same book as law since Ultimate
Shit Hit the Fan Manual? He wrote, I don't actually know.
I checked his website just a minute ago to see
if there was a different book on there. There isn't.
There's three separate books, the Civil Defense Manuals Volume one
and two, or one of them, then two other ones.
This might be an updated version of that book, but

(02:41:38):
I don't know for certain.

Speaker 2 (02:41:39):
Yeah, perhaps been selling the Civil Defense Manual since I've
first interviewed him.

Speaker 4 (02:41:44):
So he's had the Civil Defense Manuel out for quite
a few years. This might be the magnum opus where
he's gone in and you know, correlated and put everything in.

Speaker 2 (02:41:52):
So he does have a new article that's out, and
we're going to be putting cross posting that onto our
substack as well. And again if you want to, if
you want to get the show without commercials. In terms
of an audio podcast, you can get that if you
subscribe at subscribe Star or if you subscribe at Substack.
Both those places will get you the audio podcast without

(02:42:14):
any ads in it. We're gonna take a quick break
and we'll be right back, folks.

Speaker 4 (02:43:24):
A thing the.

Speaker 1 (02:44:01):
You're listening to the David Knight Show. If you like
the Eagles on.

Speaker 4 (02:44:10):
The Cars and Huey Lewis and the news, they say.

Speaker 9 (02:44:16):
You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio, download
our app or listen now at apsradio dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:44:25):
Well, welcome back, folks. And we have even more fallout
now from this back and forth over illegal orders. And
it's interesting because the Trump administer, Donald Trump and his
administration have now staked out and for them, apparently it
is a hill to die on. They have now staked
out the position that you must by obey illegal orders.

(02:44:50):
What an absurdity that is, and what an abomination and
repudiation of the Constitution and the rule of law to
say they're going to say that you cannot say that
people should not obey illegal orders. You must not say that,
and if you do, they're going to come after you

(02:45:12):
and so now the Pentagon under Warpete is saying that openly,
talking about the fact that they are investigating Senator Mark
Kelly over a video urging troops to defy illegal orders.
They want to go back and investigate him and give
him a dishonorable discharge or something like that. Again over

(02:45:33):
illegal orders. What is the problem with these idiots that
are there very dangerous? The Pentagon announced Monday that it
is investigating Democrat Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible
breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined
a handful of other lawmakers in a video they called

(02:45:54):
for troops to defy illegal orders. And again, I am
not a fan at all of Mark Kelly's policies. I
disagree with them on everything. It's one of the worst
gun control advocates out there. He's a husband of Gabby Gifford,
who was shot at a rally and fortunately she didn't die,
but it turned the two of them into rabid anti

(02:46:17):
Second Amendment advocates. And I don't agree with his other
policies either. I mean, he's a Democrat. I don't agree
with anything the guy does, but to come after him
because he's saying that you shouldn't obey illegal orders. What
is their problem that they can't understand that. The Pentagon suggests,

(02:46:38):
I know, I know why you make heroes some of
the worst people. But the Pentagon suggested that Kelley's statements
in the video interfered with loyalty, morale, or good order
and discipline of the armed forces by citing the federal
law that prohibits such actions. So he now got the
executive branch and the pentag gone under war Pete now

(02:47:03):
telling you that you must obey illegal orders. As I
said the other day, didn't we have this discussion with
the Nuremberg trials. You know, we had people who were
up for charges for things that were violations of moral law,
of international law, things that have been done in prison camp.
So I was just following orders. Was the expression. It's like, well,

(02:47:25):
you don't follow the orders to do anything and everything.
But that is now the position of the Trump administration.
I mean, they really do want to embrace this whole
fascist thing. I guess you will do what I say.
I mean, they're embracing it. Being a king and all
the rest of this stuff go ahead.

Speaker 5 (02:47:42):
What an amazing statement that it's immoral to disobey illegal orders.
It's unloyal and immoral to not to disobey the Oh, Robert,
it's if you care about the law, you are immoral.

Speaker 3 (02:48:00):
And yeah, exactly the opposite.

Speaker 5 (02:48:03):
If you're loyal to your country, you're disloyal to Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:48:06):
It is the country is not Trump, The government is
not Trump. The Constitution is the country. The Constitution is
the King, not Trump. This is meant to intimidate me
and other members of Congress from doing our job and
holding this administration accountable. It won't work, said Kelly in
a statement. And again, this is a very bad guy.

(02:48:28):
They're making him into a hero. And I think, as
I said before, not only did Donald Trump step in
this dog dew that was laid out there as a
trap for him, but he jumped up and down in
it in a temper tantrum, and he's spirting it all
over himself and the rest of his administration. Defense Secretary
or should say war Pete said that Kelly was facing

(02:48:49):
investigation because he's the only one of the lawmakers who
was formerly retired from the military and is still under
the Pentagon's jurisdiction. Kelly's conduct brings discredit on the armed
forces and will be addressed appropriately. Let me say, Pete,
your conduct brings discredit on the armed forces. What are

(02:49:11):
we supposed to think about a Pentagon that demands that
people obey illegal orders. You're pathetic, Absolutely pathetic. They're foolish.
Screed shows doubt and confusion, which only puts our warriors
in danger.

Speaker 3 (02:49:26):
This guy is a hero in his own mind.

Speaker 2 (02:49:30):
Kelly's status as a US Senator, however, could complicate the
Pentagon's investigation because the Constitution, Remember that thing, Pete, the
Constitution that you swore to uphold. The Constitution explicitly shields
members of Congress and from White House overreach, said Anthony
Michael Chris, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University.

(02:49:54):
Having a US Senator subject to discipline at the behest
of the Secretary of Defense and the President violates a
core principle of legislative independence. Christ said in a phone interview.
So troops, especially uniformed commanders, do have specific obligations to
reject orders that are unlawful if they understand that. And

(02:50:19):
of course, Jason Barker sent an email to me which
I thought was very good. He pointed out that this
unlawful order thing was very big to him.

Speaker 3 (02:50:29):
He said.

Speaker 2 (02:50:31):
He was rebutting Fox News on Twitter and he dropped
a link. He said, you may want to check out
to cover this. Some examples in the article where soldiers
and commanders are to be held accountable by law. He said,
I also wanted to point out something that the general
public is unaware of.

Speaker 3 (02:50:48):
He said.

Speaker 2 (02:50:48):
The Army doctrine went to a concept that was known
as mission command. This is being pushed very hard around
twenty eighteen and onward. My spidery senses threw up red
flags back then. When mission command does, its absolve commanders
of wrongdoing if their subordinates conduct themselves in immoral or
unlawful ways. In a nutshell, they give a general idea

(02:51:12):
of what the end state should be, and they give
subordinates to latitude to operate with a certain level of
autonomy to accomplish the goals. The idea was to free
up the bottleneck of asking permission for every move, But
what it really does is to make the people executing
the mission the scapegoat when things are not done correctly

(02:51:33):
or done illegally. Our higher commanders are all now weak
and willing to accept the pay, but will not take
on the risk of bad decisions. And he points out
he said he was appalled when he saw this. He
said he had he's fortunate enough to have one commander
that really instilled in us and brought the regulations to

(02:51:54):
back it that we were not to.

Speaker 3 (02:51:56):
Follow illegal orders.

Speaker 2 (02:51:59):
So sorry to ran about the Mission command thing, but
I've been a huge opponent of the idea since they
started pushing it. We should always have clear rules of
engagement as well as a declaration of war before taking
any action. We are where we are now because they
have blurred the lines between what we can legally do
and who has to fall on the sword when things

(02:52:21):
go wrong. So that's from Jason Barker Knights the Storm,
and he's absolutely right about that. He was in the
military and he, along with a lot of other people
fought these unconstitutional, illegal orders from Biden about the JAB
and many other things. It's very important and as these
people who are pushing back on this or saying, one

(02:52:46):
of the key things that they're looking at is the
way the military is being misused here domestically, and that
is a very concerning thing. So Trump says that you're
committing treason if you criticize him, because essentially he is
the law, and he is the country, and he is

(02:53:06):
more important than the Constitution. The constitution doesn't matter. As
Slotkin who put this thing through, And again I'm no
fan of her. She's a Democrat and she former CIA,
So as far as I'm concerned, that's three strikes right there,
You're out. But this is the woman, by the way,

(02:53:27):
when asked point blank, well what illegal orders has Trump given,
she couldn't think of any. She doesn't see what's happening
off the coast of Venezuela as being illegal and criminal. Well,
the rest of the world does, even if you can't
see it through your CIA blinders and your training. This there,
but she said, he's trying to shut us up because

(02:53:48):
he doesn't want us talking about this. And again, understand
the partisan games that are being played here, but the
reality is is that this is an uncomfortable truth that
they're telling about Trump. You know, sometimes you know they're
putting this out. As one guy said, this is all propaganda.
I talked about this yesterday. He said, this is nothing

(02:54:09):
but propaganda. Well, you know, you can use the truth
to harm somebody who is a liar like Trump, there's
white propaganda, there's black propaganda. White propaganda's when you use
the truth to make your point. Black propaganda is when
you use a lie and you tell people lies to.

Speaker 3 (02:54:27):
Make the point.

Speaker 2 (02:54:29):
So Mike McCall, one guy who is very heavily into
the military industrial complex out of Texas, he said, when
he was asked about it on one of the Sunday shows,
he said, well, I don't speak for the president in
terms of hanging members of Congress, which he's called for
on social media. He said, I would tone down the
rhetoric and I would tone down the theme here.

Speaker 3 (02:54:54):
I'm going to watch out.

Speaker 2 (02:54:55):
He's going to get kicked out of the Republican Party
in Congress by Trump for talking like that. On Saturday night,
Trump again referred to them as traders, asserting that the
individual should be in jail right now, not walking around.
And so Slatkin said in an interview, she said, you
don't have to take my word for it. I've had
report after report of legal officers, of JAG officers coming

(02:55:15):
forward and saying, look, I pushed back on this, I'm
not sure that this is legal. Well, you know, pretty
much everybody else is sure that it is not legal.

Speaker 3 (02:55:23):
This is not a gray area.

Speaker 2 (02:55:25):
This is a real clear cut line here. He's giving
people illegal orders. It'd be interesting to I wonder if
anybody has tried to reach out to this commander who
resigned from Southern Command. This is all happening in his jurisdiction.
And again, he'd only been in for one year of
what's typically a three year stint in that position. He resigned.

(02:55:49):
No comments about why not from him and not from
the Pentagon. They're keeping all this stuff quiet. I think
that he's got concern about that. So she said, there
is such a thing as illegal orders. That's why it's
in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, going back to Nuremberg, right,
which is what I talked about yesterday. And it's just

(02:56:10):
it's a totally benign statement to say that you must
not obey illegal orders. So again, but she can't say
that regime change in Venezuela is illegal, because that's exactly
the kind of thing she's probably doing her entire life.
Primary concern is military use within the US, she said.

(02:56:32):
And that's the other aspect of it that we should
be concerned about. That the Trump administration is is acting
this way both foreign and domestic. The Trump administration has
shown itself to be an enemy of the Constitution, both
in foreign and domestic actions. And so we want to

(02:56:56):
talk about who the real traders are. Look at the
guy who pardoned John Nathan Pollard because he was paid to.
If that isn't an act of traitorous conduct, I don't
know what is the biggest trader we've got right now?

Speaker 1 (02:57:09):
Is Trump?

Speaker 3 (02:57:10):
Benedict Donald As I.

Speaker 5 (02:57:12):
Said, I still have that video in the deck if
you want to play it.

Speaker 3 (02:57:15):
Yeah, go ahead, yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Here he is.

Speaker 2 (02:57:20):
This is Miriam Adelson flying Jonathan Pollard in on our
own giant jet being met by bb Net, Yahoo and
Pollard kisses the ground of Israel after being one of
the worst traders in American history, pardoned by Donald Trump

(02:57:41):
because Miriam Addelson told him to. You want to talk
about somebody who is a trader to this country, that's
Donald Trump. And as a matter of fact, you know
when we beautiful, Yeah, what a beautiful moment. Yeah, this
is a guy who not only gave secrets to Israel,
but then Israel betrayed America by giving the names of

(02:58:06):
American soldiers as well as signals, intelligence and protocols being
used by the Navy, gave it to the Soviet Union
after Jonathan Pollard stole it.

Speaker 3 (02:58:16):
And gave it to Israel.

Speaker 2 (02:58:18):
Jana Isbel. I mean, yeah, they're so proud of this guy.
He's a real hero.

Speaker 4 (02:58:24):
Who in my last after thirty five years.

Speaker 2 (02:58:29):
Yeah, he should have been there for life, people, he
should have been there for life.

Speaker 5 (02:58:32):
Ad Minister of Israel for bringing Hushold.

Speaker 4 (02:58:37):
No one could be prouder of his country or this
leader that we are.

Speaker 2 (02:58:43):
And this is the guy that Huckabee then met with ladies,
and Huckabee had this to say about Christians and Israel.

Speaker 10 (02:58:50):
I get asked all the time because I'm a Christian,
and they say, well, why are you so supportive of
the Jewish people. I said, you can be Jewish. You
don't have to have anything to do with Christians.

Speaker 3 (02:58:59):
Yeah, you don't have to have anything to do with Christ.

Speaker 10 (02:59:01):
Understand that your entire faith is built on the foundation
of Judaism.

Speaker 3 (02:59:05):
No, it's built on Christ.

Speaker 10 (02:59:06):
We look at this as an oblig built on Christ
moral debt that we must we must repay. And therefore
I don't understand anyone who says I'm a Christian, but
I don't really want to support the Jews.

Speaker 1 (02:59:16):
Well, how can you do that?

Speaker 10 (02:59:17):
But it is not the view of those of us
who are what I would call biblical believers that accept
that what the scripture says about the Jewish people and
Genesis twelve, those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those
who curse Israel will be cursed. It gets pretty simple
when I say there's a miracle every day and it
doesn't say that.

Speaker 2 (02:59:34):
It doesn't say that. It says to Abraham, I'll bless
those who blessed the not your descendants, and it soys
through you, all nations will be blessed. That is through Christ,
not Israel. Stop of the phony Christianity. How could be
you're a trader to this country, You're a trader to Christ.

(02:59:55):
I just can't stand this anymore. These people such traders.
He's not an ambassador for Christ and he's not an
ambassador for America either.

Speaker 3 (03:00:06):
He has given that up. Thank you for listening. Have
a good day.

Speaker 2 (03:00:22):
The common man, they created common Core and dumbed down
our children. They created common Past to 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,

(03:00:43):
unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
created in the image of God.

Speaker 3 (03:00:52):
That is what we have in common. That is what
they want to take away.

Speaker 2 (03:00:56):
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire
to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they
want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
find at the Davidnightshow dot com. Thank you for listening,

(03:01:18):
Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially,
