Speaker 1: In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2: As the clock strikes thirteen, it's the fifteenth of December,
Speaker 2: You're of our Lord, twenty twenty six. Today, we're going
Speaker 2: to begin with the we missed the Common Sense anniversary
Speaker 2: that happened on Saturday, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 2: of Thomas Paine's Common Sense. A lot has been said
Speaker 2: about this being the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence coming up on July fourth. However,
Speaker 2: you can't have a declaration of independence without common sense,
Speaker 2: and we don't have any common sense left today, and
Speaker 2: we're to talk.
Speaker 3: About why that is.
Speaker 2: What was the central theme of common Sense. We're going
Speaker 2: to take a look at that, and we're going to
Speaker 2: take a look at how far away we are from
Speaker 2: that and have we lost the ability to not only
Speaker 2: critically think, but even to read it. That appears to
Speaker 2: be the case with upcoming college freshmen. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Stay with us. And by the way, I didn't mention
Speaker 2: at the beginning, but tony Ardubin is going to be
Speaker 2: joining us at the bottom of the hour. Here in
Speaker 2: just about a half hour, so we're anxious to talk to Tony.
Speaker 2: So much has been happening. Unbelievable, isn't it. You know,
Speaker 2: It's the thing says you know, sometimes you have years
Speaker 2: that are compressed into just weeks, and that really is
Speaker 2: the case. And we've had periods of time where really
Speaker 2: not much has happened, but that's not the time that
Speaker 2: we're living in right now. And so the question is,
Speaker 2: you know, these are the kinds of times that trimends souls,
Speaker 2: right The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Thomas Paine's
Speaker 2: Common Sense was on January tenth, this last Saturday. We
Speaker 2: didn't talk about that before. But I think, first of all,
Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting when you look at how pervasive
Speaker 2: that was at a time and there was no government schooling.
Speaker 2: People had common sense, They had the ability to think critically,
Speaker 2: they had the ability to read, and America was full
Speaker 2: of readers. They grew up reading their Bible because it
Speaker 2: was a Christian society that was there at the time.
Speaker 3: This was a situation where.
Speaker 2: All the population of all the colonies at that time
Speaker 2: it was only two and a half million. We've got
Speaker 2: cities that are far bigger than that right now, several
Speaker 2: of them, unfortunately, and they're not really very well run.
Speaker 2: But there was only two and a half million people
Speaker 2: in the thirteen original colonies, and they printed up ten
Speaker 2: thousand copies of it, but there was so much demand
Speaker 2: that within three months they had sold one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty thousand copies in a country of only two and
Speaker 2: a half million people. And they didn't just put them
Speaker 2: on the shelf. They read them. Yeah, Thomas Jeffers, George
Speaker 2: Washington read it to his troops for morale purposes. This
Speaker 2: is why we're fighting. It's very important to understand that
Speaker 2: and what was the central theme of it. That's what
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. But before that, I just
Speaker 2: wanted to compare it to what we have here in
Speaker 2: the twenty first century. If you go back and look
Speaker 2: at it, if you normalize that to the population, one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand copies to two and a half
Speaker 2: million people, that's about one copy for every twenty one people,
Speaker 2: a lot of copies. And so do we have any
Speaker 2: books that have hit that kind of level, And actually no,
Speaker 2: that'd be about fifteen million copies in today's American population.
Speaker 2: We don't have any books that hit anything like that,
Speaker 2: So a matter, right, The first Harry Potter book sold
Speaker 2: over eight million copies in the first twenty four hours
Speaker 2: here in the United States. It went on with cumultive
Speaker 2: sales in the United States, the first one to sell
Speaker 2: eleven and a half million. Now they did well fifteen
Speaker 2: million in the first twenty four hours worldwide. Half of
Speaker 2: that was in the United States. But we're talking about
Speaker 2: the population of that comes down to even fewer per
Speaker 2: capita if you'd take it out to the entire world
Speaker 2: billions of people. But we're talking about a country of
Speaker 2: two and a half million people, one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: thousand copies of this thing. So it was a cultural touchstone, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like Harry Potter, Star Wars, all
Speaker 2: the rest of the stuff. And isn't it interesting how
Speaker 2: frivolous our society has become in terms of entertainment. I mean,
Speaker 2: we look at something that has that kind of cultural impact.
Speaker 2: The only thing we can do is movies or things
Speaker 2: like that, fiction fantasy. That's the world that we live in.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, when you look at some
Speaker 2: of the other titles that even they didn't achieve what
Speaker 2: Harry Potter did, but that came close to it. You
Speaker 2: have titles like The Hunger Games or fifty Shades of
Speaker 2: Gray Porn. You know, that's the kind of stuff that
Speaker 2: we consume today. There's not any serious discussions of what's
Speaker 2: going on. And he was, as World Magazine says, the original,
Speaker 2: No King's protester.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: That was a real central theme of common sense, the
Speaker 2: juxtaposition of rule by a dictator, by a king versus
Speaker 2: the rule of law. That was the central issue there,
Speaker 2: and that is the central issue of our time as well.
Speaker 2: This is why I keep coming back to it. I
Speaker 2: don't care what the stated end is. I could agree
Speaker 2: with the stated end of Trump, not that I necessarily
Speaker 2: believe that his policies, his tactics in terms of achieving
Speaker 2: that end would even work. But I do see them
Speaker 2: as being a very very dangerous precedent. They'll be seized
Speaker 2: by the next person that's out there. Once that power
Speaker 2: is put in the oval office, it's going to stay
Speaker 2: and it's going to be used by the next occupant,
Speaker 2: and the one after that and the one after that.
Speaker 2: That is what is so dangerous about that, and that
Speaker 2: is the president in which we live now. You know,
Speaker 2: there were so many people that were accused in early
Speaker 2: American history of being kings, and that was the accusation
Speaker 2: that was usually me that somebody was ambitious. That's what
Speaker 2: they said about Lincoln and that he wanted to be king.
Speaker 2: The same thing about Alexander Hamilton, same thing about Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 2: He's imperial and he acts like a king. That type
Speaker 2: of thing that was a criticism. And yet now Trump
Speaker 2: actually really embraces this. It's just like we talked about
Speaker 2: the idolatry of Maga, and well, we're not. You know,
Speaker 2: we're not worshiping him as God. I worshiped God and
Speaker 2: he is my president. I really like that. No, you're
Speaker 2: putting your trust in Donald Trump. That is idol. As
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, this article from a World magazine says, well,
Speaker 2: you know, Thomas Paine got it wrong because his theology
Speaker 2: wasn't very well informed. I mean, he really wasn't a Christian.
Speaker 2: Later on he was something of a DS but not
Speaker 2: so much even that, and he made some arguments on
Speaker 2: the Bible. Of course, one of them is coming from Samuel,
Speaker 2: where the people come to Samuel and they say we
Speaker 2: want a king. And what does the God say? He
Speaker 2: says to Samuel, they haven't rejected you as judge. They
Speaker 2: have rejected me. Is because they put their trust in kings.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why in the nineteen fifties in
Speaker 2: America they put in God we trust. We don't trust
Speaker 2: in government. And yet these people said, we need to
Speaker 2: have a strong government. That's what's going to do it
Speaker 2: for us. That's the kind of idolatry that I accuse
Speaker 2: Maga of. I think we can see it now, and
Speaker 2: I think we can see the fact that Trump kids
Speaker 2: about being a king and a dictator, But he wasn't
Speaker 2: really joking, was he. He really embraces it, even embraces
Speaker 2: it in his Ai memes that he puts out. He
Speaker 2: puts on a crown and he drops excrement on his opponents.
Speaker 2: It's not a joke. The Namoga people are a joke
Speaker 2: quite frankly. So, do you want to have the dictates
Speaker 2: of a king or do you want to have the
Speaker 2: rule of law? You know, for Trump, the law is
Speaker 2: in his mouth whatever he says. That's why we call
Speaker 2: them dictators. Are you going to take dictation from him?
Speaker 2: Or are you going to use the Constitution, and so
Speaker 2: you know, you had a lot of people that was
Speaker 2: always the insult, and that was the fear when people
Speaker 2: saw George Washington. He was very impressive as an individual.
Speaker 2: He carried himself a lot of dignity and things like that,
Speaker 2: and people just in awe of him even as a person.
Speaker 2: And there were concerned many people with the constitution. Have
Speaker 2: we created an office of the king? That has always
Speaker 2: been the concern, And now that concern has been realized.
Speaker 2: But George Washington gave his farewell address when he was
Speaker 2: sixty fourth and I'm going to step down. He did
Speaker 2: step down, he was only sixty five. And yet you've
Speaker 2: got people like Steve Bannon out there trying to activate
Speaker 2: the base saying we're going to have a third term
Speaker 2: for Trumph in his eighties, right, and which again is
Speaker 2: not only violating the tradition that George Washington established, but
Speaker 2: also violating the law. And the whole aspect of saying
Speaker 2: that we're going to have Trump for a third term
Speaker 2: is really just doubling down on this. We don't care
Speaker 2: what the law says. We're going to do what we want.
Speaker 2: You try to stop us. We're going to find some
Speaker 2: way to get around both the letter of the law
Speaker 2: and the spirit of the law. That is a Trump administration.
Speaker 2: That is the enablers and the clowns who follow Trump,
Speaker 2: like Steve Bannon, that is what they trade in, and
Speaker 2: they are traders the very fact that somebody wants to
Speaker 2: censor your speech. And we just saw this yesterday we
Speaker 2: had the Pentagon under war. Pete decided, you know, he
Speaker 2: didn't want to have people in the Pentagon as a
Speaker 2: press corps if they're going to report things that he
Speaker 2: hasn't okayed. First right, we don't want to have any
Speaker 2: independent thought. We don't want to have a free press,
Speaker 2: we don't want to have free speech. People want to
Speaker 2: shut down free speech in the free press. Are the
Speaker 2: people who are admitting that they're criminals. They've got something
Speaker 2: to hide, and they're always hiding behind national security. And
Speaker 2: so it's not a surprise to see this is something
Speaker 2: that's coming from the Pentagon. We're go' to talking about
Speaker 2: that in a moment here, but that is where we
Speaker 2: are right now. And so as they point out here
Speaker 2: he called out Thomas Paine did he called out not
Speaker 2: just for resistance against the British government, but for independence
Speaker 2: from Great Britain entirely because common Sense became an instant bestseller.
Speaker 2: And that is why I say, you can't have the
Speaker 2: Declaration of Independence without common sense. That is what laid
Speaker 2: the groundwork for it, and that's why it's very important
Speaker 2: what we consume is entertainment. And that's why the Communist
Speaker 2: works so hard with Frankfurt School and so forth to
Speaker 2: make sure that they were going to push their worldview
Speaker 2: through movies and entertainment, and so as they point out
Speaker 2: a world they said, Payne did more than complain about
Speaker 2: particular wrongs committed by King George. In Parliament, he articulated
Speaker 2: a broader political theory. The theory has more similarities to
Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence than the Second Continental Congress would
Speaker 2: produce around six months later. Human beings were created equal,
Speaker 2: endowed with natural rights, and formed governments out of pure
Speaker 2: political state of nature through consent. The governments the people
Speaker 2: formed then operated through representation and were intended to protect
Speaker 2: the rights of the people. Great Britain, he said, violated
Speaker 2: the principles of government of the government of the consent
Speaker 2: and government's purpose to protect rights. So see, these are
Speaker 2: all themes that Jefferson didn't plagiarize this. This was really
Speaker 2: the American understanding even before Thomas Paine. He just was
Speaker 2: able to distill it and articulate it. And Thomas Jefferson
Speaker 2: did that as well in the Declaration of Independence. They
Speaker 2: were on the same page and they were reading the
Speaker 2: same books, right, And so they point out the violated
Speaker 2: consent on multiple levels with a hereditary monarch also through
Speaker 2: the Parliament's aristocratic House of Lords. Moreover, violated rights, among
Speaker 2: other ways, by his dismissive treatment of the colonists over
Speaker 2: the previous decade. Sorry, I'm stumbling over this because this
Speaker 2: print came out somehow at about six points. It's very
Speaker 2: very tiny. It's hard for me to see this. But
Speaker 2: the bottom line is that, as I said, this is
Speaker 2: World magazine. And so they came back and they said, well,
Speaker 2: we think that he got it wrong in terms of
Speaker 2: his theology. Thankfully, the founders of the US did not
Speaker 2: all go along with Pain's arguments. Pain had disdained separation
Speaker 2: of powers and checks and balances. For instance, he thought
Speaker 2: the best government would be a simple one in structure.
Speaker 2: He said, complex institutional interactions would allow corrupt officials to
Speaker 2: hide the true blame of what was happening. Checks and
Speaker 2: balances were inherently contradictory to pain. So I disagree with
Speaker 2: World's assessment. I think that he got it right. I
Speaker 2: think that we can see now when we look at
Speaker 2: checks and balances and things like that, we can see
Speaker 2: that these complicated structures. Yes, they were very concerned about
Speaker 2: consolidation and concentration of power. So they divided the federal
Speaker 2: government into three parts, and they divided power between the
Speaker 2: states that created the federal government. And so they don't
Speaker 2: have any power that hasn't been delegated to them by
Speaker 2: the states. There is not instead of a supremacy clause.
Speaker 2: The supremacy clause really is a tenth amendment, tenth amendment
Speaker 2: that says that the states created the government and they
Speaker 2: only give up certain powers specifically given up in the Constitution.
Speaker 2: But also they divided the central government into three parts,
Speaker 2: and they divided power into three areas, the federal government,
Speaker 2: the states, and we the people. And we talk about
Speaker 2: the public, that really is the people. And it really
Speaker 2: is an amazing thing when we see how national security
Speaker 2: is used over and over again to keep information away
Speaker 2: from the common people, from we the people. Privacy is
Speaker 2: very important. Our government doesn't appreciate privacy for individuals. It
Speaker 2: claims that public servants the public government should be private
Speaker 2: for them, everything they do is private. That is an oxymoron,
Speaker 2: a contradiction in terms, if it is something that is
Speaker 2: part of the government, it should be open and available
Speaker 2: to the common people, to the public. Everything they should do,
Speaker 2: that they do should be public. We don't need to
Speaker 2: know where you stashed your military, but we do need
Speaker 2: to know where all the money was spent and how
Speaker 2: it was spent, what is being used for. So this
Speaker 2: whole idea of national security, this Cold War paranoia, has
Speaker 2: been used as a cloak to shield all of their lawless,
Speaker 2: unconstitutional actions from US. As time we say that's enough.
Speaker 2: But I agree with them. You know, when you look
Speaker 2: at what we have in Washington. Now you have a
Speaker 2: situation where it's not just between the Republicans and Democrats
Speaker 2: who are saying, well, they did it.
Speaker 3: Or they did it first? What about what they did?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: What about is them? That's always an alibi for them,
Speaker 2: isn't it. Well, you know, yeah, ok, Trump is acting
Speaker 2: like a lawless dictator. But look at Biden and look
Speaker 2: at Obama. It's like that's not an excuse that you know,
Speaker 2: we don't want to accept that as a precedent. But
Speaker 2: then also within government, you have Congress has created the
Speaker 2: bureaucracies purely for the purpose of not directly being involved.
Speaker 2: I mean, they create these bureaucracies, they hand the power
Speaker 2: over to them, they abdicate what they should be doing,
Speaker 2: and then when the bureaucracies do the wrong thing, they
Speaker 2: have an opportunity. If people get really upset about, they
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to come in and pretend that they're
Speaker 2: you're savior from the beast that they created because they
Speaker 2: didn't want to have the responsibility, they didn't want to
Speaker 2: create laws, and so we have rules that are created
Speaker 2: by unelected bureaucrats. And then they come back and say, well,
Speaker 2: because these are not laws. Laws are created by your
Speaker 2: elected representatives. These are rules created by unelected bureaucrats. So
Speaker 2: you have no due process rights since it's not a law.
Speaker 2: Since it's a rule, you now have no presumption of innocence,
Speaker 2: you get no due process, and you get no protection
Speaker 2: against excessive and unusual fines and punishments. Right, this is
Speaker 2: a precedent that began with the irs and now it's
Speaker 2: a tasticized to every one of these bureaucracies, and so
Speaker 2: they don't want to have accountability, and they're constantly passing
Speaker 2: the hot potato over to the other side and passing
Speaker 2: pointing the finger to somebody else. And so the President
Speaker 2: points of finger at Congress, and Congress points of finger
Speaker 2: at this Supreme Court, and on and on on. They
Speaker 2: just keep passing the blame around. And so I think
Speaker 2: Pain was right about that. I think even though the
Speaker 2: idea of trying to divide power, it really hasn't worked
Speaker 2: very well, has it. Do you see any checks on
Speaker 2: government power at this point in time?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Do you see any balance between these branches of government?
Speaker 2: Do you see any balance between the state government and
Speaker 2: the state governments and the federal government they created. No,
Speaker 2: they've turned that exactly upside down, and we the people
Speaker 2: have no power left whatsoever. The constitution has not worked
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 2: They say, of course, the reading of scripture they put
Speaker 2: in soas finally God inherently disapproved of kingship, as Pain acclaimed,
Speaker 2: because the stories of get In and of Samuel. Of course,
Speaker 2: this reading of scripture says world ignored the passages and
Speaker 2: judges is arguing that the anarchic condition of Israel was
Speaker 2: because there was no king in the land. Well, yes,
Speaker 2: but again it was because they didn't make God the king.
Speaker 2: That was the real issue. And as Samuel's Israel, God
Speaker 2: was not the king and so and they're asking for
Speaker 2: a secular king was just a manifestation of what was
Speaker 2: in their hearts. And so we see that, don't we
Speaker 2: in America? Don't we say it on both the left
Speaker 2: and the right. We say it in Maga as much
Speaker 2: as we see it in Antifah. They don't want God,
Speaker 2: they want a king. That's what they put their trust in. Now,
Speaker 2: the people in Maga they say no, no, we trust
Speaker 2: in God. And yet what they really trust in and
Speaker 2: what they really looked to for deliverance is politics, and
Speaker 2: particularly to Trump.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 2: You know, a man cannot save you know, a man
Speaker 2: cannot save us. And the people need to understand they
Speaker 2: can't serve two masters. Right, who's your master going to be? Well,
Speaker 2: especially when we look at this divided power, right is
Speaker 2: going to be a legislative, judiciary, executive martch who is
Speaker 2: going to be the bat master? You're not going to
Speaker 2: have There was no mechanism formal mechanism that you could
Speaker 2: even point to to say, well, they're not really following
Speaker 2: that power sharing thing, right, But a person can only
Speaker 2: serve one master. And so there has been a back
Speaker 2: and forth. Is it going to be Supreme Court supremacy
Speaker 2: or now is it going to be presidential supremacy. It's
Speaker 2: always been that struggle back and forth. Congress just wants
Speaker 2: to collect a paycheck. They're out of the running for
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. Now will it be the states
Speaker 2: that are supreme or will it be the central government
Speaker 2: that is supreme? That was that the Civil War was
Speaker 2: fought over. And so the constitution is supposed to be
Speaker 2: the master, but it's people that are actually going to
Speaker 2: execute it. And we have people who ignore, people who
Speaker 2: prevaricate what it has to say. Those are the people
Speaker 2: that are in office. That's why when you look at
Speaker 2: things like Mark Levins approach the Liberty Amendments, any kind
Speaker 2: of constitutional convention is going to be run by the
Speaker 2: same people who ignore the constitution. Now, they don't pay
Speaker 2: attention to the constitution we've got now, so why would
Speaker 2: we let people of no character oath breakers like that?
Speaker 2: Why would we let them write a new constitution? That
Speaker 2: they would then be free to ignore as well. It's
Speaker 2: a futile exercise. But the reality is is that what
Speaker 2: is really at the heart of our problems is the
Speaker 2: same thing that was a problem with Israel when they
Speaker 2: wanted a king. We have rejected God. Now, the people
Speaker 2: of colonial times understood the message that of Thomas Paine.
Speaker 2: What they took away from it, it's not what World
Speaker 2: Magazine took away from it.
Speaker 3: They look at this.
Speaker 2: And say, well, you know, God is king and we
Speaker 2: need to have God's Yes, they understood that. And the
Speaker 2: Christians of colonial America their slogan was no king but Jesus. Right, Yes,
Speaker 2: Jesus is King. God is King, will have no others.
Speaker 2: Today people look for salvation to secular governments. We're talking
Speaker 2: about America, Israel, whatever. So while rereading Pain, let us
Speaker 2: exercise the common sense to recognize real kings from false kings,
Speaker 2: good from poor government governments. And I think that they
Speaker 2: don't quite get it. I don't think there are any
Speaker 2: good secular kings. And we want to have the rule
Speaker 2: of law, that is what good government is, and yet
Speaker 2: we don't have that doing What we have is summarized
Speaker 2: by this interview with the New York Times, Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: here's the audio from it.
Speaker 3: You see any checks on your power on the world stage?
Speaker 5: Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted
Speaker 5: to do? There's one thing, my own morality, my own mind.
Speaker 5: It's the only thing that can stop up. And that's
Speaker 5: very good. I don't need international I'm not looking to her.
Speaker 2: I don't need international law. I don't need the Constitution.
Speaker 2: You know, is there is there any check on your power?
Speaker 2: He wouldn't say the Constitution, right, I said for the
Speaker 2: longest time, this is a guy who has not only
Speaker 2: you know, divorce has become very common, unfortunately in our society.
Speaker 2: But this is a guy who not only divorced his wives,
Speaker 2: but then he proceeded to publicly humiliate them as much
Speaker 2: as he could, which is really reprehensible. And he does
Speaker 2: the same thing with the people that he puts in
Speaker 2: his cabinets. He flatters them absurdly when he puts them in. Oh,
Speaker 2: this guy is the best whatever, right, And then when
Speaker 2: he doesn't like something that they did, he throws them
Speaker 2: out and he follows them down the road, pouring scorn
Speaker 2: on them. Same thing he did with his wives. Why
Speaker 2: are we surprised that he would do this, and when
Speaker 2: we look at his morality, what a joke, What a joke.
Speaker 2: That is the same guy who just flipped out and
Speaker 2: flipped a finger at the guy who called him a
Speaker 2: pedophile protector. The guy hit the truth on the head.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we'll talk a little bit
Speaker 2: about that in the aftermath of what's happened to that guy.
Speaker 2: But you have the Rutherford Institute. John Whitehead is picked
Speaker 2: up on Free Thought Project as well. What Tterrany looks like. Now,
Speaker 2: there's not any crowns, there's not any coups, just unchecked power.
Speaker 2: And that's really what is happening. This is a slow
Speaker 2: moving coup, except it's not really moving that slowly. Americans
Speaker 2: are being trained to accept what would have once been
Speaker 2: on thanksable law enforcement that kills without consequence, presidents who
Speaker 2: operate above the law. War is launched without consent, powers
Speaker 2: exercised without accountability, and without authority. Again, you know the
Speaker 2: New York Times sayings, do you see any checks on
Speaker 2: your power on the world stage? Is there anything that
Speaker 2: could stop you from doing what you want to do? No,
Speaker 2: he doesn't see any check in his power, not with
Speaker 2: foreign issues, not with domestic issues. He's not going to
Speaker 2: follow any laws. He will be a law unto himself.
Speaker 2: It'll be his morality in his mind. And I would
Speaker 2: say that those are two zeros right there. In January
Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six, says John Whitehead, Thomas Paine published Common Sense,
Speaker 2: a pamphlet that gave voice to the discontent of a
Speaker 2: nation struggling to free itself from a tyrannical ruler who
Speaker 2: believe that power flowed from his own will rather than
Speaker 2: from the consent of the governed. And so the question
Speaker 2: we have today is can a people remain free if
Speaker 2: they place their faith in the virtue of one man.
Speaker 2: This is what I've been saying about maga idolatry all along.
Speaker 2: You know, it's all just a matter of degrees, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, they may not literally fall down on their
Speaker 2: feet and worship Trump, although many of them come very
Speaker 2: close to that, but it's what they put their trust in.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: You can make an idol out of money because you
Speaker 2: trust in it. And these people are trusting in Trump
Speaker 2: and his politics as their salvation. And so John white
Speaker 2: had said, Trump, when asked about any checks on his power,
Speaker 2: he didn't point to the Constitution. He didn't point to
Speaker 2: the courts, or Congress or the rule of law, as
Speaker 2: his oath of office and of our constitution republic required. Instead,
Speaker 2: he pointed to himself. And I would say there was
Speaker 2: another notable thing that was missing, not just the fact
Speaker 2: that he didn't believe that he was accountable or bound
Speaker 2: by the Constitution by course, by Congress, or the rule
Speaker 2: of law. He doesn't believe that he is bound by God.
Speaker 2: He's got his own morality, and I can't say that
Speaker 2: there's much evidence of it when you look at what
Speaker 2: the man is doing. America's founders believed in faith and morality.
Speaker 2: Is John Adams warned in seventeen ninety eight, avarice, ambition,
Speaker 2: revenge would break the strongest cords of our constitution, just
Speaker 2: like a whale goes through a net. Now, let me
Speaker 2: ask you, when you look at the first year of
Speaker 2: Trump two point zero. I mean we're going to go
Speaker 2: back and include the last year of Trump one point
Speaker 2: oh if you want. But when you look at especially
Speaker 2: his return, his avarice, look at how much money he's made,
Speaker 2: Look at all how he has come in grab money
Speaker 2: and using the power of government to ingratiate himself with
Speaker 2: foreign leaders, and so the avarice, the ambition, the revenge.
Speaker 2: Isn't that pretty much covering all the basis of Trump's
Speaker 2: first year of his second term. And yet John Adams
Speaker 2: said avarice, ambition, and revenge would break the strongest cords
Speaker 2: of our constitution, just like a whale going through a net.
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, He thought our constitution was made only for
Speaker 2: a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
Speaker 2: the government of any other kind of people. That's why
Speaker 2: we're in such big trouble. Adams was not advocating for theocracy. Rather,
Speaker 2: he was emphasizing that a government of liars, thugs, and
Speaker 2: thieves will not be bound by constitutional limits. That kind
Speaker 2: of government will treat these constitutional limits as inconveniences. Doesn't
Speaker 2: that look like what we've been seeing from Trump for
Speaker 2: the last year. The Trump administration has never been more
Speaker 2: obvious that we're governed by a bunch of liars, thugs,
Speaker 2: and thieves. A constitutional government survives only when both the
Speaker 2: people and their leaders are willing to be bound by
Speaker 2: the Compact, by the Constitution, by the treaty, whatever you
Speaker 2: want to call it. And Trump is not willing to
Speaker 2: do that. Not with the women that he told that
Speaker 2: he loved. He told us that he loves America as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the same type of thing. If our freedoms depend
Speaker 2: on Trump's self proclaimed morality, we are in dangerous territory because,
Speaker 2: of course, we haven't seen any evidence of his morality.
Speaker 2: Over the course of nearly eighty years, Trump has been
Speaker 2: a serial adulterer, philanderer, liar, a convicted felon. He has cheated, stolen, lied, plundered, pillaged,
Speaker 2: and enriched himself at the expense of others. Petty, unforgiving,
Speaker 2: foul mouthed, and crass. His associates include felons, rapists, pedophiles,
Speaker 2: drug traffickers, sex traffickers, and thieves, many of whom he's pardoned.
Speaker 2: He disrespects the law, he disregards human life, is ignorant
Speaker 2: of the Bible, illiterate of the Constitution, takes pleasure in
Speaker 2: others pain and misfortune, and is utterly lacking in mercy, forgiveness,
Speaker 2: or compassion. That's he does sum it up. It's a
Speaker 2: good job from what John White had he said. However,
Speaker 2: Christian nationalists have tried to whitewash Trump's behavior by rapping
Speaker 2: religion in the national flag and urging Americans to submit
Speaker 2: to the government to authoritarianism, an appeal that flies in
Speaker 2: the face of everything the founders risk their lives to establish.
Speaker 2: And I got to say it is anti Christian as well,
Speaker 2: this misinterpretation of Romans thirteen, and we have seen it
Speaker 2: over and over again. Prime example was a pandemic obey
Speaker 2: your government, just do whatever they say. And we keep
Speaker 2: seeing this. What was the response to the execution of
Speaker 2: that woman by that Ice agent right Orne, good, Okay,
Speaker 2: show your hands, obey commands. That's it all these people
Speaker 2: who keep coming out of is after saying, don't evaluate
Speaker 2: what the government does. Don't you dare think about whether
Speaker 2: or not this cop was doing the right thing or not. No, no,
Speaker 2: you just obey him or he will kill you. And
Speaker 2: we hear that same lesson being given to us by
Speaker 2: many pastors. Obey the government. It doesn't bear the sword
Speaker 2: in vain, it's not for show. They'll let you use
Speaker 2: it on you. Well, that was not the message of God.
Speaker 2: That was not the message of the apostles either or Christ.
Speaker 2: You do not obey authority when the authority is evil,
Speaker 2: when the authority is wrong. It was Romans thirteen was
Speaker 2: descriptive of a good government. It was not descriptive of
Speaker 2: a legitimate government. It was not just oh yeah, we
Speaker 2: ten thirty. I'm sorry. I'm going on on here. I'm
Speaker 2: going to Tony is ready and has been ready for
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes here, So thank you real quickly
Speaker 2: before we take a break. Angelo nineteen ninety nine, When
Speaker 2: Christ is your king, Bullets, bombs and armies of thugs.
Speaker 3: Hold no weight.
Speaker 2: That's right, It's just a change location, change your address.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. We're going to connect with Tony
Speaker 2: here in just a second.
Speaker 6: Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against the real economic oppression,
Speaker 6: in our case, here in Boston, we are fighting for
Speaker 6: purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so
Speaker 6: abstract as a young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here
Speaker 6: is one of monopoly. Today the British government will monopolize
Speaker 6: the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will
Speaker 6: be something.
Speaker 3: Else, liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the David
Speaker 3: Knight Show, All.
Speaker 2: Right, welcome back and joining us now is Tony Ardeban.
Speaker 2: I apologize to him for losing track of the time,
Speaker 2: and we haven't. We haven't lost track of Tony, but
Speaker 2: it might appear like that to the audience because it's
Speaker 2: been a while since Tony's been on. He took some
Speaker 2: time off for the Christmas holidays and things like that
Speaker 2: to try to get caught up. It's been a chaotic time,
Speaker 2: of course in the metals market. Things have been moving
Speaker 2: incredibly quickly. And I don't know how you do it, Tony,
Speaker 2: any type the time to come on at all, But
Speaker 2: it's great to have you back, and we're really anxious
Speaker 2: to talk to you. With all the things that have
Speaker 2: been happening. We're now up over forty six hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Gold has gone high, and we had well over eighty
Speaker 2: for silver. I don't know what the exact price is silver.
Speaker 2: I don't follow this stuff on a day to day basis,
Speaker 2: but you do. And it's really crazy times, isn't it.
Speaker 2: And this last week we just had both of them
Speaker 2: get a shot in the arm again from Trump because
Speaker 2: he wants to be the dictator of the dollar. He
Speaker 2: wants to be the one who's going to set this.
Speaker 2: And you have to look at this, and I can
Speaker 2: understand why the markets and why Wall street investors anything
Speaker 2: would be scared of this. Just take a look at
Speaker 2: what he did with tariffs. It doesn't matter what you
Speaker 2: think about tariffs. It doesn't matter what you think about
Speaker 2: interest rates. Trump is going to be setting If he's
Speaker 2: going to be the one setting interest rates, they're going
Speaker 2: to be varying based on what he had for breakfast
Speaker 2: this morning.
Speaker 3: It's going to be crazy, right.
Speaker 4: Well, the uncertainty is certainly an underlying driver of these
Speaker 4: prices that you can go with the traditional market forces, David,
Speaker 4: as I was saying off air, I think and I
Speaker 4: started to notice this in the last quarter of twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five and towards December, I just said, I'm taking
Speaker 4: the rest of the month off of my shows and appearances.
Speaker 4: I got to focus on my business because so many
Speaker 4: people were selling silver because it was reaching new all
Speaker 4: time highs and every week, and you know, it was
Speaker 4: something else was happening, new price drive. And so I've
Speaker 4: seen this, you know, accumulate over the last thirty forty
Speaker 4: five days, and I'm just convinced now that we're in
Speaker 4: some sort of fourth dimensional warfare between governments. I think
Speaker 4: silver is in a key playing role in the currency.
Speaker 3: Wars that are going on right now.
Speaker 4: I remember when Russia put silver as a strategic reserve asset.
Speaker 4: That story really stuck out with me, and I talked
Speaker 4: about it on your show. I talked about it my
Speaker 4: show many times. I thought this should get a lot
Speaker 4: more coverage than it's getting. I don't think people really
Speaker 4: understood what that meant. That was the first time that
Speaker 4: a major government, especially a nuclear power, it's saying we're
Speaker 4: signaling that this is a monetary asset for us again.
Speaker 4: And silver used to have that same standing within especially
Speaker 4: in countries like China in the early twentieth century and
Speaker 4: for centuries before that.
Speaker 2: And as you point out many times, you know, the
Speaker 2: very word that is used for the Indian currency it
Speaker 2: comes from silver. Yeah, yeah, and that's right. And I
Speaker 2: think wasn't that the case of the dollar as well.
Speaker 2: Maybe there was another currency that was that way as
Speaker 2: well as a word for.
Speaker 4: Sea the dollar it was it was based off a
Speaker 4: German silver coin.
Speaker 3: T H A L E. R. Right, dollar, Yeah, from
Speaker 3: collar to dollar.
Speaker 2: So yeah, really, I mean, you know, silver, because of
Speaker 2: the lower value, was really kind of the every man's
Speaker 2: currency that they were passing around.
Speaker 3: The gold was there as a store.
Speaker 2: Of wealth, of sovereign wealth and that type of thing,
Speaker 2: which is what we're seeing with the central banks. But
Speaker 2: we've also seen a massive amount of individual purchasing. You know,
Speaker 2: the shortage that we talked about before, what happened in India.
Speaker 2: You know, every year they have as part of their
Speaker 2: religious observations, they will accumulate well or whatever. Typically they
Speaker 2: would get gold, but when guys say, hey, you need
Speaker 2: to get silver this year, so everybody was buying silver,
Speaker 2: created a big shortage in terms of distribution. And there's
Speaker 2: something else happening with silver that I thought was kind
Speaker 2: of interesting, and that is that was sent to me by.
Speaker 3: Listening.
Speaker 2: The guy put out three videos yesterday and there were
Speaker 2: a lot of assertions that were made in it, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't possible for me to verify what he was
Speaker 2: saying in terms of commodity trades and amounts. He said,
Speaker 2: this is not anything that's concealed. This is not a theory.
Speaker 2: These are actual trades that been made by JP Morgan.
Speaker 2: And he said, if you look at this, he said
Speaker 2: he totaled up on these various exchanges, they were short
Speaker 2: four point two billion ounces of silver, and so he
Speaker 2: what he was, this is about to go vertical, and
Speaker 2: I can't verify if that's true. I sent to you
Speaker 2: and I know there was a lot of information there
Speaker 2: and he was referring to a lot of things that
Speaker 2: is very hard for us to get access to. But
Speaker 2: you know, what do you think about that? I mean,
Speaker 2: as you said, it's kind of fourth dimensional warfare that's
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 4: Now, Well, that's a that's uh, something that we've talked
Speaker 4: about for years. The role that JP Morgan has played
Speaker 4: in silver is has a lot of history. There's a
Speaker 4: there's some shadowy things that have gone on there and
Speaker 4: some some things that are suspect and criminal. I mean,
Speaker 4: they've been convicted of of shorting the silver.
Speaker 3: Market, of of of the fraud.
Speaker 4: Really, I mean, if you if you want to put
Speaker 4: it in that way, and they had paid a steep
Speaker 4: fine for it, and I don't I want to say
Speaker 4: it was more than once. And if you go if
Speaker 4: you go into their history, they're the largest holder of
Speaker 4: physical silver supposedly in the world, private holder other than governments,
Speaker 4: and that's been that way for a very long time.
Speaker 4: You got to remember, you go back to the seventies
Speaker 4: and you had the Hunt family and they cornered the
Speaker 4: silver market, and I coined the term deep stated. I
Speaker 4: thought that they they were just basically, you know, taken out,
Speaker 4: taken out to the woodshed and punished for exposing weakness
Speaker 4: of the dollar. In the late nineteen seventies early eighties,
Speaker 4: and nobody touched silver again. There was a time when
Speaker 4: Warren Buffett supposedly was into some physical silver, but you know.
Speaker 3: He has that pet rock theory.
Speaker 4: He doesn't do anything, and I think he held some
Speaker 4: for a while and then dumped it. So nobody through
Speaker 4: the eighties and nineties, in two thousands has picked up
Speaker 4: the mantle of silver. But JP Morgan was one of
Speaker 4: those entities that started accumulating. And I imagine that they
Speaker 4: have a lot of analysts they're looking at this is
Speaker 4: where does the Fiat dollar go? What is silver's use
Speaker 4: is for all the factors that would drive it up,
Speaker 4: and I think they've been and again they were convicted
Speaker 4: of suppressing the silver price while they were buying. So
Speaker 4: it's like, and that doesn't register with a lot of people.
Speaker 4: A lot of people think of stock fraud as a
Speaker 4: pump and dump where they're just going to inflate the
Speaker 4: price drive people in it and then sell off.
Speaker 3: That's not what they did.
Speaker 4: This has been long term play, and i'd love to
Speaker 4: see if I didn't have enough time to verify some
Speaker 4: of the things you sent me yesterday. But it does
Speaker 4: make sense that I did get that to you till
Speaker 4: really late. And there was a lot there.
Speaker 2: Guy goes it's about a half hour video and he's
Speaker 2: got two or three of them that he put up.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is. It is a complicated situation. And
Speaker 2: of course there's always been this tension between gold and silver,
Speaker 2: and go back to William Jennings Bryant and his cross
Speaker 2: of gold speech and that type of thing. But it's, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's we live in very strange times there. And of
Speaker 2: course we're talking about how Trump portrays this stuff. He
Speaker 2: just told the Detroit Economic Club that inflation is defeated.
Speaker 2: Nobody believes that but him. He is such a bold
Speaker 2: faced liar that he will say that kind.
Speaker 4: Of probably go into stores, they can get that that
Speaker 4: banner that George W. Bush just had the mission accomplished.
Speaker 4: We've got right back over the just right in inflation accomplished.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we had evidence of that. Everybody was scared
Speaker 2: to death of what he was going to do when
Speaker 2: he started coming after Jerome Powell. And that was one
Speaker 2: of the reasons, I said, when we're talking about this
Speaker 2: thing in the fall, and you would see, you know,
Speaker 2: JP Morgan, all these different large banks, Goldman Sacks and everything.
Speaker 2: They come up with Bank of America. They've got their
Speaker 2: analysts to say, well, we think gold is going to
Speaker 2: be here at this point in the first quarter or
Speaker 2: the second quarter of first half or this. We see
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff all the time from them, and
Speaker 2: they constantly kept revising it up, and it's like, well,
Speaker 2: we just passed that already. You know, you would look
Speaker 2: at this stuff in the fall and I said, it's
Speaker 2: really gonna really step up because Jerome Powell is going
Speaker 2: to be ending his term. But you know, Trump doesn't
Speaker 2: even want to wait for that. He is so eager
Speaker 2: to play games with interest rates and the quantitative easing.
Speaker 2: I mean, he is chomping at the bit, and so
Speaker 2: much so that he's going to take the risk I
Speaker 2: got what risk I mean, and supporters are going to
Speaker 2: support him no matter what he does, but so much
Speaker 2: so that he wants to come after with criminal charges,
Speaker 2: come after drum Pale and get rid of him like
Speaker 2: he did Lisa Cook. Isn't that interesting? I think that's
Speaker 2: a big tell as to what his economic policies are
Speaker 2: going to be.
Speaker 3: Right out the gate.
Speaker 2: He's going to do everything he can to push every
Speaker 2: button to have easy money, and that's going to make
Speaker 2: inflation war. He's going to pour a lot of gasoline
Speaker 2: on the fire. He's an agent of chaos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.
Speaker 4: You know, the Federal Reserve is a criminal entity. Just
Speaker 4: not really maybe for the building of an extra wing.
Speaker 4: I think it's for the entire scope of what they've
Speaker 4: done to our currency or to our world. I mean,
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's the very reality and the fabric
Speaker 4: of America has been ripped apart by a central bank.
Speaker 3: But don't mention that.
Speaker 2: You know, it is very tolling, and you know, certainly
Speaker 2: he has a lot that he can say, how can
Speaker 2: you justify two and a half billion dollars, not even
Speaker 2: to bill I mean, this is not foundation costs or
Speaker 2: grading costs, or this is just decorations. Right, They're going
Speaker 2: to remodel it with decorate two and a half billion
Speaker 2: dollars of decorations for these existing buildings. That's outrageous, But
Speaker 2: I said, so he's going to audit that, but he's
Speaker 2: not going to audit the FED itself. He's not going
Speaker 2: to audit Fort Knox's gold. Let's focus on this other
Speaker 2: thing over here that really doesn't matter except as an
Speaker 2: indication of the corruption and.
Speaker 4: The just the raw power that the Federal Reserve has.
Speaker 4: It's absolutely astounding. I mean, and people are following this
Speaker 4: like this is a good thing, and I think it's
Speaker 4: just chaos for the sake of chaos. It's saken the
Speaker 4: whole thing that's pushing all of this, you know, the
Speaker 4: drive and prices is the movement out of like safe
Speaker 4: haven traditional markets where people played and you know there's
Speaker 4: long term paper markets. This is this is fear. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and again it's governments that are involved. And people might
Speaker 4: think I enjoy where we are in the silver price.
Speaker 4: I think it should have taken a little bit longer
Speaker 4: these massive hikes that we've seen that are really unprecedented
Speaker 4: ever since the nineteen seventies. And this won't I don't
Speaker 4: believe this will end like the nineteen seventies, David. I
Speaker 4: don't think that. You know, if silver went from fifty
Speaker 4: two dollars to two in nineteen eighty. It's not going
Speaker 4: to happen. There's it's not going to happen. Nothing like
Speaker 4: that's going There might be some pullback, and there probably
Speaker 4: will be both in gold and silver, and there's profit
Speaker 4: taking that could go on. But I think we're pushing
Speaker 4: new boundaries and price discovery every single day. And this
Speaker 4: is a reflection of the weakness of the dollars, the
Speaker 4: weakness of the Fiat system, the massive, the systemic malignancy
Speaker 4: of worldwide debt, the global debt that is really I mean,
Speaker 4: it's bankruptcy on paper for pretty much the entire world
Speaker 4: if you look at debt to GDP, and we've been
Speaker 4: talking about that for a long time and it's only accelerating.
Speaker 4: But there's there's an underlying, I think story going on
Speaker 4: with silver because of the governments that I think are
Speaker 4: starting to realize that these strategic assets and especially silver, gold,
Speaker 4: things like that, they're reaching for the physical bullion and
Speaker 4: all the paper markets. Those days are gone, and thank god,
Speaker 4: I mean, I remember February of twenty one, David, they
Speaker 4: did the Wall Street bets and they did the whold
Speaker 4: the Reddit people and they did this, you know, buy silver,
Speaker 4: and people were sold out of physical silver all around
Speaker 4: the country, and they were trying to get the price
Speaker 4: to move by buying out the physical silver, and people
Speaker 4: went and bought physical silver out of shops and one
Speaker 4: of my shop was that way, and we sold out,
Speaker 4: and the next day the price went down.
Speaker 3: And that's because they did.
Speaker 4: Because they sold off these paper markets that they used
Speaker 4: to be able to control the price. They sold off
Speaker 4: one point five times the annual supply and one day
Speaker 4: and just sold hit cells el sell and it dumped
Speaker 4: that price down. So the spot actually went down. But
Speaker 4: if you went in to go buy silver the next day,
Speaker 4: you couldn't get any And I thought, this is broken.
Speaker 4: This can't last. This is a complete exposure of what
Speaker 4: that market was. Well, we're not there anymore, and I don't.
Speaker 4: You can't go back. You go to the beginning of
Speaker 4: the year when we talked about the black Swan event
Speaker 4: really with unintended consequences, was just the threat of tariffs
Speaker 4: and not giving clarification on whether gold or silver or
Speaker 4: commodities would be tariffed if they entered into the country,
Speaker 4: and that alone started clearing out vaults and contracts were called.
Speaker 4: It's a cascading event. It needed to happen, but that
Speaker 4: was the unintended consequence. Without that, we don't have forty
Speaker 4: six hundred dollars gold on our way to five thousand.
Speaker 4: We don't have that. If you remember last year, we
Speaker 4: hit an all time high over thirty plus times. I
Speaker 4: think almost every time I come on the air with.
Speaker 3: You, there'd be a new all time high.
Speaker 4: So it was really an unprecedented It's uncharted waters, and
Speaker 4: nothing really in history lines up to what we're watching exactly.
Speaker 4: I don't think it even rhymes.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, it's a very different time. If you
Speaker 2: go back and you look at the nineteen eighties, what
Speaker 2: was happening to that in terms of gold and silver.
Speaker 2: That was the shock that was sent through the system
Speaker 2: because of the energy because of OPEC and the oil
Speaker 2: shortage and embargoing things like that. That set off a
Speaker 2: wave of inflation, and we saw that in the interest rates.
Speaker 2: And so just in this last week kind of to
Speaker 2: underscore that, the fact that Trump is talking about the
Speaker 2: confiscatory interest rates and credit cards, well that's there because
Speaker 2: they got rid of the caps on usury. It wasn't
Speaker 2: a federal cap, as I point out this week, it
Speaker 2: was a state law. And this is a tradition that
Speaker 2: had gone back to the fifteen hundreds in the English
Speaker 2: and American tradition that you would not charge more than
Speaker 2: six or eight percent. It'd be illegal to be considered
Speaker 2: to be usury loan sharking, that type of thing. But
Speaker 2: because we had such rapid inflation versus Supreme Court and
Speaker 2: then the Congress and Supreme Court in nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 2: then the Congress in nineteen eighty did things to essentially
Speaker 2: get rid of the state usury laws. And so now
Speaker 2: Trump wants to do just a one year moratorium on
Speaker 2: these ridiculous rates that they're able to charge people. It's
Speaker 2: the most amazing thing, but it really does show the
Speaker 2: character of the banking system, Tony, when you see how
Speaker 2: they come back of this, say, well, if you cut
Speaker 2: the interest rates that we're allowed to charge poor people
Speaker 2: who can't pay off their balance, that would hurt the
Speaker 2: poor people, that would restrict their credit. It's like, how
Speaker 2: does that hurt the poor people if they're not allowed
Speaker 2: to go into debt to you for twenty to thirty
Speaker 2: percent a year? I mean, and of course it would
Speaker 2: hurt us as well, but yeah, it would hurt you,
Speaker 2: but it would not hurt the poor people. That's almost
Speaker 2: like saying, sorry, you're not going to be able to
Speaker 2: drink your paycheck or pour it into the casino slot machine.
Speaker 2: You know, we're going to prohibit that, but it truly
Speaker 2: is exploitive. And I've been there for a long time,
Speaker 2: and so what I thought was interesting was that Trump's
Speaker 2: got first of all, Scott Bessnt was confronted at one
Speaker 2: of these economic clubs about that and said, you're starting
Speaker 2: to sound like Elizabeth Warren, and then Trump called Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 2: So on economic issues, we've got the Trump is Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 2: On issues of Warren peace, we've got Lindsey Graham. That's
Speaker 2: kind of where his advisors are right as we're supposed
Speaker 2: to believe that he's the peace president. He's a Republican,
Speaker 2: and yet he's looking at Elizabeth Warren and Lindsay Graham.
Speaker 2: They are his influences. But when you look at the
Speaker 2: when you're talking about paper, silver, paper, gold, we're talking
Speaker 2: about stuff on the Shanghai Stock Gold Exchange, which is
Speaker 2: SLV for silver and gold for gold. This has been
Speaker 2: the way that a lot of people who were typically
Speaker 2: in the stock market would just move things over into
Speaker 2: silver or gold. But I noticed what you talked about
Speaker 2: was something that was far more broken than what I saw.
Speaker 3: I just saw, you know.
Speaker 2: I guess back in twenty eighteen or nineteen, I saw
Speaker 2: that when gold was moving, the paper gold was going
Speaker 2: in a different direction or staying still. You know, it
Speaker 2: wasn't tied to the spot market. And I thought, why
Speaker 2: is that? And I started looking into it, and I
Speaker 2: realized I wasn't really getting gold when I bought paper gold.
Speaker 2: I bought GLD or whatever. And that's really the issue,
Speaker 2: and I think it's something that we need to be
Speaker 2: concerned about. As you see Tether going in and saying
Speaker 2: they're going to tokenize gold into their stable coins, right,
Speaker 2: it's not clear how that's going to work out. I mean,
Speaker 2: who audits that to see if they've really got the
Speaker 2: gold there? Just that's the issue with the SHI Gold
Speaker 2: Exchange and Silver exchange. Do they really have the gold
Speaker 2: and silver or are they saying that they've got it
Speaker 2: and then trading paper contracts for it. It may not
Speaker 2: be tokenized because it's not on the blockchain, but it
Speaker 2: is still securitized, just like the phony mortgages in two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, right.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: And the beautiful thing that happened in nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 4: we were because of Gerald Ford taking over after Nixon resigned,
Speaker 4: we got the ability to own gold again. It was
Speaker 4: legal after you know FDR from nineteen thirty three to
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy four. Is FDR that made it illegal for
Speaker 4: you to own gold? Is you know you couldn't. I
Speaker 4: remember listening to Robert Kiyosaki who's coming back from Vietnam
Speaker 4: as a marine, and he smuggled in a Krueger Rand
Speaker 4: that he bought just after we went off the gold standard.
Speaker 4: But you know, you mentioned something earlier that I think
Speaker 4: and this is why I brought that up, that we
Speaker 4: can you know, own gold, and they may be making
Speaker 4: a play on that. Eventually we have to be vigilant
Speaker 4: on that. I mean, I think you mentioned tether and
Speaker 4: some of these stable coins and how do they back
Speaker 4: this up? And you know, people ask me about gold
Speaker 4: standards and all the rest, but we already really have one.
Speaker 4: And that's because we're outside. When you and I have
Speaker 4: a gold or silver coin, or an ounce of bullion
Speaker 4: or a bar, and it's recognizable, we're outside of the system,
Speaker 4: we're our own bank. Same thing with bitcoin. You know,
Speaker 4: millions of Americans are unbankable, and you have these predatory
Speaker 4: institutions that you mentioned, and they're all fruit of the
Speaker 4: poisonous tree. We got this financial system that we have
Speaker 4: post nineteen seventy one, when all bets are off, when
Speaker 4: you have a fake currency, it tends to create these
Speaker 4: type of entities that prey on the lower economic strata.
Speaker 4: You just can't get out of that cycle. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: it hasn't been that long ago. Day I had to
Speaker 4: use some of those things when I was between adventures
Speaker 4: and so I had to get you know, loan with
Speaker 4: small loans, weekly loans, stuff like that. And it hasn't
Speaker 4: been that long ago. And you know, this is a
Speaker 4: The reality I live in today is a lot different
Speaker 4: than it was ten years ago when I, you know,
Speaker 4: when I so I had to use some of those
Speaker 4: things and they're awful and they're hard to get out of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they keep it. It is a trap.
Speaker 2: You know, it is a trap. It's just you know
Speaker 2: the same thing that Trump is says one year moratorium
Speaker 2: on this. Well you see that kind of stuff all
Speaker 2: the time. You know, somebody, you know, move your credit
Speaker 2: card balance over to our thing. You won't pay any
Speaker 2: interest for a year or whatever. Then it shoots up higher,
Speaker 2: higher than where you are right now, you know, And
Speaker 2: so that kind of stuff. You know, what Trump is
Speaker 2: proposing is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Speaker 2: And it's not something that's going to work out for
Speaker 2: the benefit of consumers, just like it fifty year home
Speaker 2: mortgage for the benefit of consumers.
Speaker 3: That would be a horrible thing to get involved in.
Speaker 4: And yeah, price controls, yeah, christ, we don't we know
Speaker 4: the price controls. No, this is this is the seventies
Speaker 4: all over again, but just worse. I mean, just on
Speaker 4: every scale. The corruption, the amount, the amount of bureaucracy,
Speaker 4: everything in between is amplified. So you know, when you
Speaker 4: a true prosperity would cure a lot of these ills,
Speaker 4: and a real free market would cure a lot. But
Speaker 4: this is crony capitalism. This is what happens when all
Speaker 4: these things, these entities that are tied to the Central
Speaker 4: Bank and everybody waiting for unbated breath and what the
Speaker 4: Fed's going to do with interest rates instead of just
Speaker 4: worrying about economic outcomes, and building infrastructure, economic infrastructure, all
Speaker 4: the stuff that should be going on, right, And that's
Speaker 4: why that's why the new hundred dollars bills a silver
Speaker 4: went out, Silver Eagle. My friend Charlie Robinson sent me
Speaker 4: a mean said that yesterday. I thought that's about right.
Speaker 4: That's good. I like that a new hundred dollar ago. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Everything that Trump is doing is a gimmick, right,
Speaker 2: He's not. You know, Affordability is the big issue that
Speaker 2: is the elephant in the room as far as these
Speaker 2: elections are going. And of people who have jobs. We're
Speaker 2: not talking abou people unemployeed. Nineteen percent of people have
Speaker 2: jobs said that they're struggling, according to a recent poll.
Speaker 2: So when you look at affordability and Trump comes in,
Speaker 2: he wants to play some financial games to help you
Speaker 2: to get a house, he says, But if you are
Speaker 2: you know, if inflation is eating into people in taxes
Speaker 2: and all these different predatory things that we've got in
Speaker 2: terms of mandated insurance and this and that, all of
Speaker 2: that is there, and all the government regulations that are
Speaker 2: raising the price of things and killing industry and killing manufacturing.
Speaker 2: We look at all those regulations, if those are there
Speaker 2: and the society is fundamentally sick and getting poor. There
Speaker 2: isn't any kind of financial game that you're going to
Speaker 2: play that's going to help anybody. I mean, it's just
Speaker 2: something to kind of a sugar high that he's hoping
Speaker 2: people won't realize until after they voted for it. I
Speaker 2: saw this article, Tony, I thought this is interesting. Egyptian
Speaker 2: army holds billions in secret cash as a country miss
Speaker 2: is a debt deadline, and so you know, they've got
Speaker 2: all this money in the Egyptian army and the Egyptian
Speaker 2: government says, wait a minute, We've got to make a
Speaker 2: debt payment to the IMF. And they said, well, we're
Speaker 2: not telling you where the money is. You know, all
Speaker 2: the money that Trump is funneling over to the Pentagon.
Speaker 2: And he loves to brag about his tax increase as
Speaker 2: if you know, people fill in the blank and they think, well,
Speaker 2: he's going to use this tariff revenue to get rid
Speaker 2: of the income tax. No, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: He's going to use it to pay down the debt. No,
Speaker 2: that's not going to happen. He says, I'll give it
Speaker 2: back to you as a check. That's not going to
Speaker 2: happen either. He's talking about, how's let's increase the new
Speaker 2: record defense budget. We just went over trillion dollars for
Speaker 2: the first time. Let's make it one and a half trillion. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we were flushed with cash. Now it's amazing. But
Speaker 2: when you watch him, you can start to get see
Speaker 2: the lines of how this guy bankrupted six casinos, can't you?
Speaker 3: Well you can.
Speaker 4: It has the hallmark of everything that is short term. Yeah,
Speaker 4: everything is. Everything is short This isn't long term planning. Again,
Speaker 4: not building financial infrastructure, not not incentivizing the free market.
Speaker 4: We're not doing any of that. This is crony capitalism.
Speaker 4: And you see the breakdown of institutions you just mentioned
Speaker 4: the Egyptian are me and the hoarding of cash, by
Speaker 4: the way, keeping it from the IMF, which was born
Speaker 4: out of Breton Woods in nineteen forty four. This was
Speaker 4: the old you know, economic world order that is coming
Speaker 4: to an end. There's the new institutions are being born,
Speaker 4: new factions being born. That's a key indicator, especially since
Speaker 4: we you know, we went off the petro dollar.
Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't an official thing.
Speaker 4: We just lost it, right, We in twenty twenty four
Speaker 4: and that agreement pretty much lapsed, and people have been
Speaker 4: asking me is Venezuela about re propping up the petro dollar, Like, No,
Speaker 4: I don't think that it is. We're going in a
Speaker 4: completely different direction, and maybe they don't even know where
Speaker 4: they're going. But it's the you know, the digital currency
Speaker 4: certainly on the rise, the off ramps from the stable
Speaker 4: coins and all that we we could well, we'll be
Speaker 4: talking about that in the months and years to come. No,
Speaker 4: that's institutional breakdown, is what you're watching with the Egyptian issue,
Speaker 4: and I think that's going to start happening more and more,
Speaker 4: where you know, the hoarding of cash, the hoarding of
Speaker 4: common because the bracing from impact what comes next, We
Speaker 4: don't have trust, any of the trust is diminishing, and
Speaker 4: we trusting us as far as you know, the being
Speaker 4: the world's reserve currency in this you know, the stable
Speaker 4: country that we were perceived to be is is completely
Speaker 4: off the table.
Speaker 2: Everything is coming unraveled because we're here at the end
Speaker 2: of this fourth turning. And she saw a clip. I
Speaker 2: can't remember the woman's name. We've seen her on this
Speaker 2: Ukraine thing several times. She's notable because she's one of
Speaker 2: the youngest people in terms of leadership. I mean, we
Speaker 2: had this gerontocracy now, you know, ruled by really old people.
Speaker 2: She's in like her thirties, I think. And she came
Speaker 2: out and said she's been the spokesperson for the EU
Speaker 2: in terms of Ukraine and things like that. She came
Speaker 2: out she said, well, I think when we look at
Speaker 2: what's going on, we just need to have a drink.
Speaker 2: This is this is her remedy is so bad. I
Speaker 2: think the only way we can cope with this is
Speaker 2: just to get drunk and drop out of reality. And
Speaker 2: I think that's a harbinger of what's coming, don't you.
Speaker 4: I think that's that about sums it up when they
Speaker 4: when they've reached they've run out of uh, you know,
Speaker 4: run out of tools, whatever is in their tool bag,
Speaker 4: they've run out of and you know, I think you'll
Speaker 4: see that for a lot more where just people just
Speaker 4: shrug because that's what we don't talk about the elephant
Speaker 4: in the room. We don't talk about the debt anymore.
Speaker 4: Nobody really talk. You get like one can get Thomas
Speaker 4: Massey their throat, we'll talk about it. That you don't
Speaker 4: get this is not even talked about by the so
Speaker 4: called conservative movement. I think that you covered that well
Speaker 4: this week. Conservatism is dead, Modern conservatism. This isn't this
Speaker 4: isn't Russell Kirk, this isn't Pat Buchanan, this isn't any
Speaker 4: of those. If there's no intellectual haft behind any of this,
Speaker 4: this is group think, cultish behavior and parroting you know,
Speaker 4: headlines and things that are void of any sort of thought.
Speaker 4: And it's it's really sad to watch because that's the
Speaker 4: camp that I came out of, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm more traditional Edmund Burgh or something type of Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not any principles. They're just trying to
Speaker 2: conserve the status quo and the status goal was given
Speaker 2: to us by the liberals who seek to destroy us
Speaker 2: economically and in terms of liberty and the rest of
Speaker 2: this stuff. But you've talked so much about the massive
Speaker 2: debt that we have that all these different countries have.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a sea of debt, and so
Speaker 2: it was kind of interesting van K and this is
Speaker 2: an article off of Kitko van k Analysts looked at
Speaker 2: this and said, well, you know, let's take a look.
Speaker 2: You know, what if we were to go back to
Speaker 2: gold as a standard. What would be the price of gold?
Speaker 2: Says if gold were to back M zero, that is
Speaker 2: the base money, it would need a trade at thirty
Speaker 2: nine thousand dollars per ounce if gold were to back
Speaker 2: M two, which is broad money, And in terms of
Speaker 2: that we're talking about, you know, M two is things
Speaker 2: like including savings deposits, money market funds and things like that.
Speaker 2: M zero is really just cash that is issued by
Speaker 2: the government. So if it were to go to broad
Speaker 2: money M two, it would need to trade at one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four thousand dollars per ounce the price
Speaker 2: of gold in order to cover the outstanding debt that
Speaker 2: these people have put together, the money liabilities in a
Speaker 2: scenario where the only thing you got left is gold,
Speaker 2: and of course the central banks have been accumulating gold
Speaker 2: as if it was going to be the only thing
Speaker 2: that was left. It's going to be what they have
Speaker 2: in terms of making a case for their legitimacy or
Speaker 2: making a case for their new financial system. They're going
Speaker 2: to need to have gold. That's why they're all racing
Speaker 2: to get it. And this massive debt that we have,
Speaker 2: just a sovereign debt in all these different countries, not
Speaker 2: even including the consumer debt that is there. It's truly amazing.
Speaker 4: It really reminds me, and I know people have done
Speaker 4: a lot of these analysis on what would it look
Speaker 4: like if we go back to a gold standard. I
Speaker 4: was on the when I first went on the air,
Speaker 4: and I was on conservative talk radio in Dallas. There
Speaker 4: was a host there that argued that we couldn't go
Speaker 4: back to a gold standard. There's not enough gold. And
Speaker 4: I thought, well, no, no, no, I'm like, you got
Speaker 4: it backwards like it. Of course there's enough gold. But
Speaker 4: they were, we have trillions of dollars, you couldn't make
Speaker 4: that into two gold, And I thought, well, that's that is.
Speaker 4: I guess that's modern conservative think, you know, where we
Speaker 4: just we have to infinite prints and other things.
Speaker 3: No, you'd have to be.
Speaker 4: If you have a limited supply of money, which is
Speaker 4: the way that you're supposed to have, and with sound money,
Speaker 4: you have a limited supply, which what makes it valuable.
Speaker 4: You have to be fiscally responsible, which means you have
Speaker 4: to have some measure of sanity. You can't just do
Speaker 4: anything you want and build anything you want and bomb
Speaker 4: anything you want. You have to have so with the
Speaker 4: root of everything that's falling apart for us is fake money,
Speaker 4: because you can just paper over everything until you can't.
Speaker 4: And I think that's why reaching endgame where the institutions
Speaker 4: are coming apart and trust is completely diminished. The amount
Speaker 4: of corruption that we see as unprecedented, I mean all
Speaker 4: this stuff that is systemic in everything we do. But
Speaker 4: it's worldwide, folks, I mean it's global. It's not just
Speaker 4: here in the US. All these central banks. It's a
Speaker 4: sad reality watch. And for them to I mean, people
Speaker 4: will float this idea about gold standard, Well, we already
Speaker 4: have one. It's ourselves, and these governments are You don't
Speaker 4: want the government involved with your gold in my opinion,
Speaker 4: because look at what happened in nineteen thirty three. You know,
Speaker 4: I like the free market. Let the free market decide
Speaker 4: you can have your fiat currencies. I mean, I would
Speaker 4: love it if we had a consensus in this country
Speaker 4: about fiscal responsibility and the evils of central banking and
Speaker 4: all the rest of that. But we're not anywhere near there.
Speaker 4: And if they just take that and then they make
Speaker 4: it into a gold standard, it's not good for us. Yeah,
Speaker 4: your gold might go up and you're told to sell
Speaker 4: it or whatever it is. I just don't. I don't
Speaker 4: subscribe to that. Yeah, that's right, I have that theory.
Speaker 4: I got a couple of questions for you from listeners here.
Speaker 4: Hatch Car sixty one said, excellent, that Tony's back. Can
Speaker 4: you please ask him why wolf Pack packages are taking
Speaker 4: longer to be delivered?
Speaker 3: Well, that's a crazy everything on that.
Speaker 4: Well, my crew, and by the way, I have just
Speaker 4: great people, and I look around sometimes like how did
Speaker 4: all these people show up? I have wonderful people, and
Speaker 4: we ship everything out of Missouri. It has been a
Speaker 4: really efficient last thirty days. I know my crew is
Speaker 4: doing a great job. I think the mail is something
Speaker 4: that if you're going usps, some packages do or ups.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting question. You can always mail into the crew.
Speaker 4: I want to check your your tracking number. Most of
Speaker 4: the time we are in real time, like you've if
Speaker 4: your card gets charged, like on a Monday. Most of
Speaker 4: the time, like on a Wednesday, you've already got a
Speaker 4: tracking number. So I don't know, i'd have to learn.
Speaker 2: I know things are changing in terms of shipping, and
Speaker 2: we've used a service called Sindel and they just kicked
Speaker 2: us off. You know, Karen is saying, what is going
Speaker 2: did they go out of business?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: Way, they didn't go out of business, and she's asking
Speaker 2: them questions and they won't respond to her. And it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, we've been we've been debanked in the past,
Speaker 2: we've now been deshipped. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 2: with it, but you know, we can want to take
Speaker 2: stuff down to the post office and put it through.
Speaker 2: But there's some crazy things going on. And Amazon has
Speaker 2: just said they're not going to use the postal system anymore.
Speaker 2: So that's going to be a big hit for the
Speaker 2: postal system, just like it was for Ups when they
Speaker 2: didn't have that business. And so, yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of things that are happening right now on the shipping
Speaker 2: side of it as well.
Speaker 4: It really is. But I think it's all things, David.
Speaker 4: So many companies that I used to rely on for
Speaker 4: service and other things. I just you don't get that
Speaker 4: same the competency, yeah, isn't there. And I ask other entrepreneurs,
Speaker 4: other people, and they said, no, this is this is real.
Speaker 4: Yeah you're not. You're not going insane.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 4: It's just not the same, and you know, even UPS
Speaker 4: we have issues. It's funny because the girls who run
Speaker 4: my Brandson shop, who would do all the packing, they're
Speaker 4: used to run a UPS store. And I asked her,
Speaker 4: I said, so when we put in a claim with UPS,
Speaker 4: if we ever gotten the package back because we lose.
Speaker 4: When we lose the package for wolf Pack, I just
Speaker 4: replace it. So I just eat it, like I don't
Speaker 4: ever get it back, And so it's funny. I'm like,
Speaker 4: have we ever gotten one back on a claim? She said,
Speaker 4: I'm like, so, we just put it in. Just for
Speaker 4: the record, we put it into. We never get that back,
Speaker 4: and used to there would there would be a lot
Speaker 4: more of an investigation process. And uh no, I just
Speaker 4: think that's that's everywhere. So at least wise wolf we've
Speaker 4: still got you can get a whole People called all
Speaker 4: the time and I answered the phone, and why wouldn't I.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's kind of like what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: We see this everywhere. It's a Corey doctor or the
Speaker 4: science fiction writer. It's kind of a rude term, but
Speaker 4: he calls it and shitification. Yeah, it's really what's happening
Speaker 4: to everything. It's not just the software stuff and not
Speaker 4: just things online, but it's just everything everything. Things have
Speaker 4: gotten so complicated that nothing is working anymore, like it
Speaker 4: seems like ap rumble. Seat says, I'd like to I
Speaker 4: would trust Tony, But can you talk about flexibility to
Speaker 4: sell if you might need to?
Speaker 2: Is that at all viable? I don't know much about
Speaker 2: metal investments, he says, I mean we're buying.
Speaker 4: I don't think this is a great time to sell.
Speaker 4: I mean honestly, because you're not. You need to wait
Speaker 4: for things to stabilize. And because of the whip song
Speaker 4: that's gone back and forth my buying rates. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm an eighty five percent of spot on anything over
Speaker 4: and ounce of silver and people that why would you
Speaker 4: be that way? It's because of the there's no end
Speaker 4: buyers and David, I won't name the institutions. I am
Speaker 4: three weeks from getting paid for a very very large
Speaker 4: orders that have been with Whostsalers three weeks. That means
Speaker 4: that I had to take it out. People sold me stuff.
Speaker 4: I sold it to the trading floor. Trading floor hasn't
Speaker 4: paid me. Wow, And that's because they're backed up. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you know, this bottlenecked everywhere. So I've had to
Speaker 4: make tough decisions on you know what I'm actually percentages
Speaker 4: I'm buying for now, if you're a wolf Pack member,
Speaker 4: if you're a David Knight listener, and just call me,
Speaker 4: we can do something a little bit different. But the
Speaker 4: majority of the times for like physical walk in shops.
Speaker 4: And by the way, it hasn't slowed much down. I mean,
Speaker 4: I just I just been able to have a little
Speaker 4: bit more flexibility. I have to go sell stuff to
Speaker 4: the refiners or whatever. But you know, we don't have
Speaker 4: in this market. And what's funny is do you see
Speaker 4: rising prices but limited retail buyers. And the reason this
Speaker 4: is because institutions are buying folks institutions. That's right, and
Speaker 4: that's not already.
Speaker 2: We had that last year. I remember that that video.
Speaker 2: We talked about it. At the point in time, there
Speaker 2: was a silver show, like a golden silver show. I
Speaker 2: have gun shows and things, and and this guy goes
Speaker 2: round he talks to all the different dealers and they said, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, uh silver. Everybody wants to sell silver. But
Speaker 2: you know, the institutional buyers are getting everything. The price
Speaker 2: is going up. They're just you know, the people off
Speaker 2: the street are coming in and they're not buying silver.
Speaker 2: But it's it's all institutional in terms of buying. It's institutional. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe they know something and maybe well the other thing
Speaker 2: knows them.
Speaker 4: And I think it's institutional, but more importantly, more than
Speaker 4: market forces, I think it's governmental.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and it's the chaos and volatively that we
Speaker 2: see everywhere. And you know it's not just the terriffs
Speaker 2: that have created that kind of an issue. Uh, it
Speaker 2: is something that's happening through every type of business. Wally
Speaker 2: Wallers says, gold got get off he killed Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. We got the emails from Ellary Clinton
Speaker 2: talking about that. And you know how they can't have
Speaker 2: him set up another standard in competition to the kind
Speaker 2: of Fiat system that they had in Europe.
Speaker 4: The banks don't want that. So yeah, that was peak Fiat.
Speaker 4: You know, that was peak Fiat. Was with with Kadafi
Speaker 4: and what happened. He wanted to do an African back
Speaker 4: gold back currency there, you know. And interesting is the
Speaker 4: Hunt family used to own the oil rights in Libya
Speaker 4: and there was that uh, you know, coupdetah on the revolution.
Speaker 4: You got a colonel Kadafi, you know, the state, state
Speaker 4: of current, never never graduated being a colonel.
Speaker 2: Uh, Hunts are right there the epicenter of a lot
Speaker 2: of things, weren't they. They were the epicenter of that too.
Speaker 2: That was peak Fiat. If you go back to two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine, interesting metric. You know, after the Great
Speaker 2: Financial Crisis, central bank buying of gold was almost at
Speaker 2: zero and they were just relied on the dollar. I mean,
Speaker 2: market holdings were dollars. The world transacted in dollars, and
Speaker 2: that's the way it was until that. And that was
Speaker 2: a watershed moment and central bank started buying gold, and
Speaker 2: now everything it's just a race not only for gold,
Speaker 2: but I think you know minerals, you know, silver, copper,
Speaker 2: all these other things that are going on, things that
Speaker 2: make that that actually society runs off of and away
Speaker 2: from the FIAT system. They know what's going on, and
Speaker 2: that's the central banks are.
Speaker 3: They're sick.
Speaker 4: The institutions are signaling to you folks what the future is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, absolutely well gold in terms of the
Speaker 2: you know, things that we have any control over. It's
Speaker 2: one of the few things that we can do, I think,
Speaker 2: to actually try to move against this tide of chaos.
Speaker 2: You know, it's the one thing that has basically retained
Speaker 2: its value. And again we look to God for our
Speaker 2: real provision. But in terms of things that we have
Speaker 2: control over that we should do something about. That is
Speaker 2: one of the few things that we can do to
Speaker 2: kind of guard against a hedge against this kind of
Speaker 2: chaos and volatility. That is deliberate is being put out there.
Speaker 2: It's not just stupidity. It is deliberate what is being
Speaker 2: done out there. And so I really do appreciate what
Speaker 2: you do. Tony worked with you for many years, and
Speaker 2: what you do is you provide a way for people
Speaker 2: to get into that on a small regular basis with
Speaker 2: wolf Pack, that is a really important thing. Of course,
Speaker 2: you can handle large transactions one way or the other.
Speaker 2: But the idea that people can save gradually and you
Speaker 2: make that service available, that is really a valuable service
Speaker 2: for people to be able to gradually save into that
Speaker 2: whatever they can put aside for the rainy day. Because folks,
Speaker 2: there's a storm on the way, big storm. They like
Speaker 2: to talk about it.
Speaker 4: That I've still got some time. It's a dollar cost
Speaker 4: average a thing. That's right, somebody you know me yesterday
Speaker 4: and send it. They'll they'll come back to wolf Pack
Speaker 4: when prices go down.
Speaker 3: I thought, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It reminded me of that meme of the I'm sitting
Speaker 4: at the computer, you know, like that, I don't know
Speaker 4: when prices are going to come down.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know this, And.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do your job because I
Speaker 2: don't know how you you know, how do you when
Speaker 2: it's this volatile? You know, how do you understand where
Speaker 2: things are going? It's got to really be difficult.
Speaker 3: I got a good team.
Speaker 4: I have a good team, and you know, we did
Speaker 4: a lot of planning for this. I think we just
Speaker 4: it accelerated and went past. So I wasn't fully prepared.
Speaker 4: That's why I did take December and part of January off.
Speaker 3: It's just been well, that's what we talk about, you know,
Speaker 3: That's what we talked about.
Speaker 2: We talked about hyper inflation and how you know, prices
Speaker 2: are constantly changing in Germany or Zimbabwe or whatever, and
Speaker 2: you know, it's just total chaos like that, and yet
Speaker 2: you know what you're living with. Things are changing so
Speaker 2: quickly in gold and silver. It's like having to do
Speaker 2: business in a hyperinflation environment. Yes, what you're looking.
Speaker 4: At imagine and like you amplify it over you know,
Speaker 4: your shops, and then you got you know, the direct
Speaker 4: sales and you got wolf Pack, and he's trying to
Speaker 4: constantly keep up with you know, are you making you
Speaker 4: can you keep the lights on? You know, because you
Speaker 4: have so many price fluctuations. And we've been pretty lucky
Speaker 4: because the deals that I needed walked in. When they do,
Speaker 4: you know, like I need supply, I get to supply,
Speaker 4: you know. So, uh, We're okay, and I'm glad that
Speaker 4: we're built the way. I'm glad I'm not over leveraged, David.
Speaker 4: I'm glad I had that instinct to go do hord
Speaker 4: things or do things you know, or or become a
Speaker 4: different kind type of company, you know, like a you know,
Speaker 4: I just know my limitations and what we were built
Speaker 4: to do, and wise wolf is uh was designed to
Speaker 4: be more closer to the earth, to regular people. You know,
Speaker 4: We're We're never We're not going to be this giant conglomerate.
Speaker 4: I don't want that for the for my company. I
Speaker 4: just I think with the size that we are, it
Speaker 4: is perfect to serve. We can serve nationally, we can
Speaker 4: serve locally, and you know and keep up with prices,
Speaker 4: and that's where we are right now. But yeah, it's
Speaker 4: been an interesting time. I look forward to our talks weekly.
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that we're doing this weekly
Speaker 4: again and so I think it's good for both of us.
Speaker 2: And we just kind of uh been compared to Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been a while. And and tomorrow we're going to
Speaker 2: have Jeraldy. It's been a while since we've talked to
Speaker 2: Cheryl Clinty as well. He's going to be on with
Speaker 2: a storm. Oh good, I can't wait for that. We'll
Speaker 2: get his trends and predictions for twenty twenty six. We
Speaker 2: say which war he wants to focus on the most
Speaker 2: he's got. It's like a Smorgasborg there, you know, every
Speaker 2: day it's another war for Trump.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: But thank you so much, Tony for coming on and
Speaker 2: again you go to David Knight, Dye Gold and that
Speaker 2: will take you to Wisewolf Gold Tony rdban that I'll
Speaker 2: let him know that you're coming from us, and so
Speaker 2: thank you Tony for what you do. It's been a
Speaker 2: great been a great year this year, and I know
Speaker 2: that it's going to be a great year for Gold.
Speaker 2: And silver this next year as well. Again, you know,
Speaker 2: when you look at you said, it's not gonna be
Speaker 2: like nineteen eighty because nineteen eighty the price of gold
Speaker 2: and silver was really a response to the shock of
Speaker 2: inflation from Opek, and once that tapered down and they
Speaker 2: got that under control, then gold and silver went back down.
Speaker 2: But when we look at the horizon, what we're seeing
Speaker 2: here with this is completely different. We have so many
Speaker 2: different trends and they're not external, they're internal, and you've
Speaker 2: got all of these different things coming together all at once.
Speaker 2: It really is like a perfect storm. It's like three
Speaker 2: storm for him. I guess that was one thing. What
Speaker 2: was that the the Q nine people is that the
Speaker 2: storm is coming. Well they're right, not in the way
Speaker 2: that they meant it, though, but it is a storm
Speaker 2: that is coming, true, and it is a bipartisan storm
Speaker 2: that's been building up off the coast for a very
Speaker 2: long time and been building up in Washington for a
Speaker 2: very long time. So thank you again, Tony, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: David Night goldill take you to Tony. Thank you, Tony.
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll
Speaker 2: be right back.
Speaker 3: Joined listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a big issue in the scheme of things,
Speaker 2: but it does talk about the character of these masked
Speaker 2: militarized police. ICE reportedly stole a tenth grader's phone, then
Speaker 2: apparently sold it for cash. ICE agent bortally stole a
Speaker 2: teenage boy phone and then seemingly ponded it for cash afterwards.
Speaker 3: This is a report from Pro Publica.
Speaker 2: They said that this boy and his father were on
Speaker 2: their way to McDonald's father was an illegal alien. They
Speaker 2: were pulled over by the masked agents after several agents
Speaker 2: violently tackled his father to the ground, with one pressing
Speaker 2: a knee into his neck. Another put the sixteen year
Speaker 2: old in a suffocating chokehold. He told the agent he
Speaker 2: was a child and a miner. The agent didn't stop.
Speaker 2: I started screaming with everything I had because I couldn't
Speaker 2: even breathe.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 2: I felt like I was going to pass out and die.
Speaker 2: He was taking photos of the encounter with his phone
Speaker 2: that was then confiscated as he was taken into custody. Later,
Speaker 2: when he used his find my iPhone feature to track
Speaker 2: down his device, that led him to a vending machine
Speaker 2: for used electronics that was several miles away, but it
Speaker 2: was near an ICE detention center according to reporting someone
Speaker 2: and we can only guess who had apparently sold his
Speaker 2: phone after ICE had confiscated it. The idea of ICE
Speaker 2: stealing and then selling somebody's phone is jarring. As one
Speaker 2: person said, well, this is not the key part of
Speaker 2: the story, obviously, but they sold his phone. This is
Speaker 2: not to be a surprise when we look at the
Speaker 2: corruption of secret police, militarized police police, as I pointed out,
Speaker 2: a giant army that would be the fourteenth largest military
Speaker 2: budget in the world if they were a separate country.
Speaker 3: But they're not.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we have armies of domestic police, boots on the
Speaker 2: ground here in America, boots on our necks here in America.
Speaker 2: And of course a big part of what they're interested
Speaker 2: in is surveillance. They're pouring in tens of millions of
Speaker 2: dollars into one surveillance program after the other. Where there
Speaker 2: it's the roads or the streets, a car of license
Speaker 2: plate recognition, flock cameras looking at your car and profiling
Speaker 2: your car, or biometric information on your face. They're looking
Speaker 2: at what you're doing on social media. They're looking at
Speaker 2: your phones all of this, but you're not allowed to
Speaker 2: photograph them. You're not allowed to take their picture. And
Speaker 2: they're wearing masks, and they will get in your face
Speaker 2: with their masked face, knock your phone to the ground,
Speaker 2: knock you to the ground. And that's just the beginning
Speaker 2: of what they'll do.
Speaker 8: Also, what I'm talking about, this sort of behavior is
Speaker 8: incredibly common. It happens so frequently with the TSA. It's
Speaker 8: not as visible because generally the TSA isn't tackling even
Speaker 8: throwing you to the ground. They just have easy access
Speaker 8: to your stuff, which they steal and then sell very regularly.
Speaker 2: Mm.
Speaker 3: They don't like to be photographed either, right, because you
Speaker 3: have no recourse.
Speaker 8: It's your word against theirs. Oh oops, I wonder how
Speaker 8: that happened.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you better believe I'm going to photograph any account
Speaker 2: I have with the government and keep a record of it.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: So again, the fact that they would find this near
Speaker 2: a nice detention center, and so after being detained and
Speaker 2: released by Ice, his family took him to the Texas
Speaker 2: Children's Hospital, where staff moved him to a trauma unit
Speaker 2: after identifying signs of a chokehold. The doctors ordered dozens
Speaker 2: of CT scans, X rays, including for his head, neck,
Speaker 2: and spine. His father says. Family says that the agents
Speaker 2: threatened to charge him with assaulting an officer unless his
Speaker 2: dad agreed to be deported. That's how these guys were
Speaker 2: So the father is now in Mexico. Well again, you know,
Speaker 2: you can take the approach well, they should never have
Speaker 2: come here in the first place. Well, I agree, But look,
Speaker 2: do we really want to have a government like this?
Speaker 2: Do you really want to have these guys who pretend
Speaker 2: to be police, who pretend to enforce laws when they
Speaker 2: say that there's no law for them. We're giving cart
Speaker 2: Blanc to do whatever they wish. They steal property from people,
Speaker 2: they bully and hurt sixteen year olds, They blackmaile family members.
Speaker 2: Is that really what we want from our government? That
Speaker 2: is a foolish bargain. Like I understand, and you know,
Speaker 2: if you've listened to me over the years, that I
Speaker 2: don't agree with illegal immigration, and that is a big
Speaker 2: point with me. This is as big a point with
Speaker 2: me as it is with MAGA. But the means matter.
Speaker 2: How you do this makes all the difference in the world.
Speaker 2: And so you've got some who we're talking about impeaching Christineome. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: you know, here's the headline, Nuclear option is launched against
Speaker 2: Christinome by seventy Democrats. Seventy only seventy only Democrats. That's
Speaker 2: what's disgusting about all this when you look at how
Speaker 2: many Democrats are. I mean, there's two hundred and thirteen
Speaker 2: Democrats in the House. Seventy of them. That's only thirty
Speaker 2: two percent. That's not even that's just about just under
Speaker 2: a third. Okay, of the Democrats want to impeach Christinome.
Speaker 2: Impeachment ought to be the least that happens to this woman.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just showed you the other day that
Speaker 2: she put this a speech, one of ours, all of yours.
Speaker 2: I mean this is literal, the literal slogan of the
Speaker 2: Nazis when they destroyed villages. You kill one of ours,
Speaker 2: like Heidrick, we'll kill everybody in your village. And we
Speaker 2: want you to know that that's what she's doing. I
Speaker 2: know it sounds tiresome to Homeland Security be called Nazis
Speaker 2: all the time. Well, then stop acting like Nazis. And
Speaker 2: when you look at Iran, for example, as I said
Speaker 2: the other day, the only difference between these Iranian quote
Speaker 2: unquote law enforcement people that are murdering people in the
Speaker 2: streets and our ice agents.
Speaker 3: Is the flag that they fly.
Speaker 2: You take down that Iranian flag, you put up an
Speaker 2: American flag, and all the Maga people going, oh rah, hoorrah,
Speaker 2: you knowa USA, we love this stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Authoritarianism is authoritarianism doesn't matter what flag you fly. These
Speaker 2: people always act the same way. By way, this cartoon here,
Speaker 2: this is Maga for example, Well, at least we're safe
Speaker 2: from immigrants, right. And the man and woman have a
Speaker 2: QR code on their sweater and they kind of barcode
Speaker 2: on their forehead. There's an army of police around them,
Speaker 2: there's drones above them, there's cameras beside them. This is
Speaker 2: what the people who were so overwhelmingly concerned about the
Speaker 2: open borders. And understand, folks, the open borders were created
Speaker 2: by both Republicans and Democrats. It's worse under the Democrats.
Speaker 2: But the Republicans didn't do anything about it either, and
Speaker 2: so they created this problem because their solution is to
Speaker 2: have the police state, just like they created the pandemic,
Speaker 2: which didn't exist because their solution was a bioweapon vaccine.
Speaker 2: You don't want their solution, and you don't be fooled
Speaker 2: by what these people are. I'm gonna take a real
Speaker 2: quick break, folks, and we're going to come back. I
Speaker 2: want to finish what I was saying about common sense,
Speaker 2: because we don't have any common sense, and we need
Speaker 2: to make sense common again, don't we We'll be right.
Speaker 3: Back analyzing the globalists. Next move and now the deep.
Speaker 2: And nutshell, Well, welcome back. And I want to go
Speaker 2: back to what John Whitehead is working on, because you
Speaker 2: know he's talking about Thomas pain I ain't got to
Speaker 2: say I would nominate John Whitehead as the Thomas Paine
Speaker 2: of our time if I had to pick somebody, I
Speaker 2: bet he goes back. He quotes Madison and Jefferson, Madison
Speaker 2: saying if men were angels, we wouldn't need government, right,
Speaker 2: and Jefferson said, yeah, but in questions of power, let
Speaker 2: no more be heard in the confidence of man, but
Speaker 2: bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution.
Speaker 2: But these are chains that have been easily snapped. As
Speaker 2: he points out, Trump speaks in the language of kings,
Speaker 2: of strong men. It would be emperors advocating for personal
Speaker 2: rule over constitutional government. America's founders rejected that logic. They
Speaker 2: revolted against tyranny. They built for themselves a system of
Speaker 2: constitutional restraints, checks balances, divided authority through separation of power.
Speaker 2: And this is the key thing, an informed, vigilant populace.
Speaker 2: You know, Jefferson said, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
Speaker 2: That's why Ice hates you filming them. Think about that.
Speaker 2: All the hard work of the founders is being undone,
Speaker 2: not by accident, and it's not being done overnight. This
Speaker 2: is not about left versus right. It's not even about
Speaker 2: whether Trump is a savior or villain. It's about the
Speaker 2: danger of concentrating unchecked power in any one individual, regardless
Speaker 2: of political party, regardless of their personality, or their character
Speaker 2: or their lack of character. The end does not justify
Speaker 2: the means.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: That's what we have to understand over and over again.
Speaker 2: We have to keep coming back to that power can
Speaker 2: be used for the right reasons today, but it will
Speaker 2: be used for the wrong reasons tomorrow. History shows that
Speaker 2: once the machinery of oppression is built, once we have
Speaker 2: these surveillance systems, the militarized enforcement, the emergency authorities. It
Speaker 2: does not care who operates the controls. The only question
Speaker 2: is who will be targeted next. This way is so
Speaker 2: amazing to me. You know, you see the left and
Speaker 2: the right constantly going back to January sixth. What lesson
Speaker 2: did either of them learn other than rabid partisanship.
Speaker 3: Nothing.
Speaker 2: You know, when you look at John Stewart, you know,
Speaker 2: or Jesse event or whatever they left is they look
Speaker 2: at it and they see the people that were fighting,
Speaker 2: the cops that were there. They don't see what happened before.
Speaker 2: They don't care what happened afterwards to people who were
Speaker 2: peaceful protesters. And then you look at the right and
Speaker 2: they don't even though they saw the weaponization of government,
Speaker 2: they want more power given to the president just after
Speaker 2: they were they saw the corruption of the Biden administration. Oh,
Speaker 2: let's give more power to Washington. No, you need to
Speaker 2: devolve power away from Washington because there will be another Biden.
Speaker 2: You just want to make sure he doesn't have the power.
Speaker 2: I can't understand why the left and the right took
Speaker 2: these lessons. And this is the understanding of the grassroots people,
Speaker 2: and that I'm talking about Trump's two point zero has
Speaker 2: done more to dismantle the nation's constitutional guardrails in any
Speaker 2: other time in history. This is now unfolding through emergency declarations,
Speaker 2: warrantless raids, speech based detentions, unaccountable surveillance, military actions launched
Speaker 2: without consent, debate or constitutional authority. Just one individual that
Speaker 2: is doing all of this stuff, and we don't. That's
Speaker 2: the danger of it, he says. And so we look
Speaker 2: at the sequence that always that despotism always follows. First
Speaker 2: of all, power is centralized. Well, we can check that box,
Speaker 2: can't we. And then the next one is accountability is dismantled.
Speaker 2: Certainly see that as well, don't we. Then finally, once
Speaker 2: law no longer restrains power, force takes its place. If
Speaker 2: we had a map, we would have the arrow. You
Speaker 2: are here. This is the stage that we're at. Just
Speaker 2: like the other day. If we're talking about the way
Speaker 2: that civilizations collapse, and we checked off of the five
Speaker 2: different steps, we're at step number four right now. Step
Speaker 2: number five is about to begin. If this is how
Speaker 2: Trump intends to celebrate the country's two and fiftieth birthday,
Speaker 2: it's maybe by re enacting what the king did. The
Speaker 2: abuse is that drove Americans to a revolt in seventeen
Speaker 2: seventy six. Someone might need to clue him into the
Speaker 2: fact that it ended with Americans rejecting tyranny an absolute rule.
Speaker 2: You know, That's what I hear when I hear jd
Speaker 2: Vance talking about how these ice agents have absolute immunity.
Speaker 2: No they don't, and if they do, shame on us
Speaker 2: for allowing that to happen. Not under a system of law.
Speaker 2: Do they have absolute immunity under a system of tyranny?
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 2: When I heard that, folks, I don't care what else
Speaker 2: jd Vance says or does not that I was supporting
Speaker 2: him before. I got a lot of questions about how
Speaker 2: this chameleon has moved himself around the political spectrum in
Speaker 2: order to ingratiate himself to the technocrats. Have issues with
Speaker 2: his making money off the self amplifying MR and A
Speaker 2: JABS and many other things that Jadvance does. He is
Speaker 2: part He is the handpicked salesman for the technocracy, and
Speaker 2: you can see that when he says, yeah, our people
Speaker 2: get absolute community. Well, if that's the way this is
Speaker 2: going to work, our system is done right now. At
Speaker 2: this point, you're talking about absolute immunity, absolute tyranny. It's
Speaker 2: what we're talking about here, Consumed of visions of global
Speaker 2: conquest and military expansion. Trump has treated sovereignty as negotiable,
Speaker 2: international law as inconvenient. And we just had this happen
Speaker 2: yesterday with the people from Greenland and Denmark coming in
Speaker 2: and when I look on social media, I saw these
Speaker 2: people saying, oh, yeah, look they're trying to pretend that
Speaker 2: they're brave, but they're going to cave. You know, this
Speaker 2: is Trump, He's strong. These are the influencers that some
Speaker 2: of the most despicable people I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would never have believed that there would
Speaker 2: be people like this that I see on social media,
Speaker 2: and they call themselves conservatives as crazy, the Trump administration
Speaker 2: is justifying the cold blooded assassination of an American citizen
Speaker 2: by masked gunmen as an act of self defense and
Speaker 2: declaring we have absolute immunity and we're not going to
Speaker 2: be nobody's even going to investigate us. We're going to
Speaker 2: shut down the investigation from the get go. They told absurd,
Speaker 2: made up lies that bore no resemblance to the facts
Speaker 2: of the thing. Because of their utter contempt and their
Speaker 2: certainty that X and social media and their influencers would
Speaker 2: cover for them. Ice agents have been battering down doors,
Speaker 2: ramming into private homes, carrying out warrantless militarized raids that
Speaker 2: treat constitutional protections as an inconvenience, in human beings as
Speaker 2: expendable obstacles, I would say, as their personal livestock. That's
Speaker 2: the way they treat us with this. When a president
Speaker 2: surrounds themself with military parades and flights, defense budgets to
Speaker 2: obscene levels, deploys federal forces against the civilian population, and
Speaker 2: insists that his personal morality is the only safeguard against abuse.
Speaker 2: The republic is no longer drifting towards tyranny. It is
Speaker 2: sliding downhill fast. And when ego becomes policy, the results
Speaker 2: are predictable. Perpetual war, endless surveillance, normalized violence, the criminalization
Speaker 2: of dissent, a public conditioned to accept abuses in the
Speaker 2: name of security and patriotism. Well, at least we don't
Speaker 2: have any more immigrants, right because we would want to
Speaker 2: come here. Trump influencers and explainers are, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: enemies of the constitution, their enemies of liberty as well.
Speaker 2: And their appeasement for Trump really is just beyond disgusting.
Speaker 2: It's not blind loyalty from the influencers they actually see
Speaker 2: what's going on. They are putting out the eyes of
Speaker 2: the people who listen to them and plugging their ears
Speaker 2: to the sense that they can't. They're told, don't believe
Speaker 2: what you see, don't believe what you hear. It's the
Speaker 2: worst kind of group think and double think. Thomas Paine
Speaker 2: warned that a long habit of not thinking a thing
Speaker 2: wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right. And
Speaker 2: this is the essence I think of this. Whataboutism, Oh
Speaker 2: what about what Biden did or what Obama did or whatever.
Speaker 2: Whenever Trump is doing something that is criminal that they
Speaker 2: did and got away with, we need to say this
Speaker 2: is enough. We're going to stop passing this back left
Speaker 2: and right and saying, well, our guy can do it,
Speaker 2: because your guy did it. Americans are being trained to
Speaker 2: accept what would have once been unthinkable law enforcement that
Speaker 2: kills without consequence, presidents who operate above the law, war's
Speaker 2: launched without consent, power exercise without accountability or authority. That
Speaker 2: normalization is the true danger which brings us to the
Speaker 2: question of common sense forced Americans to confront in seventeen
Speaker 2: seventy six, and we have to confront it again. Now,
Speaker 2: are we going to be a nation that is governed
Speaker 2: by laws or by the will of a man? Because
Speaker 2: that was the essence of common sense. Do we want
Speaker 2: to have a king that is going to just dictate
Speaker 2: to us? Or are we're going to have consent of
Speaker 2: the government. Are we going to have laws? Are we
Speaker 2: going to treat people as human beings rather than livestock?
Speaker 2: And as he points out, this was the moral foundations
Speaker 2: that we have lost, or they're really the key. You know,
Speaker 2: we used to have the black regiment when this country
Speaker 2: was formed, and you would have pastors who would put
Speaker 2: this in context for the people who they talked to.
Speaker 2: But he said, now we've got the Franklin Grahams of
Speaker 2: this world who've exchanged moral authority so they can have
Speaker 2: a seat at the table with Trump. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, you know, we talked about Trump being a
Speaker 2: pedophile protector. One of his spiritual advisors quote unquote has
Speaker 2: just been convicted of pedophilia, and yet he got a
Speaker 2: slap on the wrist, just like Jeffrey Epstein isn't that interesting.
Speaker 2: So they have us believe that the lawful response with
Speaker 2: all this stuff is just to comply, just to obey,
Speaker 2: because they've got power. And I have to say, these
Speaker 2: people have exchanged Christ for Trump. Scripture says John Whitehead
Speaker 2: does not command blind obedience to power. I agree with that.
Speaker 2: That's what's wrong with that interpretation of Romans thirteen. Chuck Baldwin.
Speaker 2: I interviewed him not too long ago, but prior to that,
Speaker 2: the last time I had interviewed him was several years ago,
Speaker 2: and it was a few years before we had twenty
Speaker 2: twenty and the pandemic lockdown and all the blind obedience
Speaker 2: to authority that's being sold by the people there, and
Speaker 2: we were talking about how that was going to work.
Speaker 2: You had all these people say, well, you do whatever
Speaker 2: the government says. It doesn't matter, you know. And Todd
Speaker 2: Frele said, if the government tells you put a pinwell
Speaker 2: on your head, you put a pinwill on your head.
Speaker 2: He was saying that on the cusp of Biden mandating
Speaker 2: the vaccine for people in order to have a job
Speaker 2: or a life or anything else, to mandate the bioweapon
Speaker 2: that Trump had created. He said that I thought it
Speaker 2: was reprehensible then, and I still think it is. It's
Speaker 2: just amazing that he would say that. Tell people, if
Speaker 2: the government tells you to commit suicide, you commit suicide.
Speaker 2: Drink the kool aid, inject the kool aid. That's what
Speaker 2: Todd Friele was saying. I called him pinwill freel and again,
Speaker 2: blind obedience to power is not what we're told to do.
Speaker 2: Should you obey God or man? And just because these
Speaker 2: people are in power, they may be there as a
Speaker 2: means of testing you, but you don't obey them. Just
Speaker 2: take a look at And that's what they were saying. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, we had obviously we had martyrs who when
Speaker 2: they were told you have to worship Caesar as God,
Speaker 2: they said, I'm not going to do it, even under
Speaker 2: penalty of death. That's what I call them martyrs, because
Speaker 2: there were witnesses to what they had seen, and so
Speaker 2: they would come back and they say, well, of course,
Speaker 2: if they tell you to deny Christ or to you know,
Speaker 2: deny your convictions, you don't follow that. But when I
Speaker 2: interviewed Chuck Balden we were talking about it, I said,
Speaker 2: you just wait, these same people who are telling you that,
Speaker 2: now when push comes to shove, they will tell you
Speaker 2: to obey the government instead of your convictions. And they
Speaker 2: did in twenty twenty. They told people shut the churches down. Okay,
Speaker 2: shut the churches down. Inject yourself with a bioweapon. Okay,
Speaker 2: y do it. And these people like Franklin Graham were
Speaker 2: telling you to do that at the same time. So
Speaker 2: he quotes here John White had quote smartin Luther King
Speaker 2: Junior said, and regardless of what you think of the man,
Speaker 2: take a look at what he has to say here.
Speaker 2: One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility
Speaker 2: to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility
Speaker 2: to disobey unjust laws. This is that you have to
Speaker 2: have the discernment and the wisdom to distinguish between what
Speaker 2: is just and what is unjust, whether you're talking about
Speaker 2: obedience to government or you're talking about war. You know,
Speaker 2: are we fighting wars to save lives? Are we fighting
Speaker 2: wars to end them? Are we fighting so that we
Speaker 2: can support the greed, avarice and ambition of corrupt men
Speaker 2: in power. That's the real issue. It comes to worst.
Speaker 2: And yeah, the concerning thing is that when we look
Speaker 2: at what the churches have become. This is actually a
Speaker 2: comedy routined by a comedian. What's his name, industry? Is
Speaker 2: that his trust Drewski? Is that his name? Yeah, Drewsky. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And but you know, when I first saw this, I
Speaker 2: thought it was real. Take a look at what he's
Speaker 2: doing in terms of uh, this is what megachurches look like.
Speaker 4: Read what you want.
Speaker 2: For those who are listening. He suspended on wires.
Speaker 6: Wanda told us earlier this month that she could not
Speaker 6: have a baby anymore.
Speaker 3: So I impregnated her with the word of God.
Speaker 4: I'm going to impregnate everyone with the word of God.
Speaker 2: You don't go get pregnant to God.
Speaker 8: Don't go get pregnant with the war to God.
Speaker 1: Don't go get.
Speaker 3: Pregnant to TV of angelists, mega churches, somebody in the congregation.
Speaker 3: Now he's up in the air again, suspended on ropes
Speaker 3: because I'm a Christian and I'm walking the blood up here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Again, it's such a parody. It's blasphemy, right, And that's
Speaker 2: really what these mega churches have become. I see this
Speaker 2: guy suspended up on the wires, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: and I've seen the Christmas programs the big churches in
Speaker 2: Dallas and everything they do that they got flying angels
Speaker 2: and Campbell's.
Speaker 3: In the aisles and all of this.
Speaker 2: Suff it's become entertainment. It's like what we began talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, we had Common Sense was bought by one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand people in just three months in
Speaker 2: the colonies, and it was something that was serious. Today,
Speaker 2: what do we look at. We're looking at the Big
Speaker 2: Sellers or Harry Potter Hunger Games, fifty Shades of Gray,
Speaker 2: and that really is what the church has become. It's
Speaker 2: reflective of our society, all of that. So he says,
Speaker 2: the same things that are running through the themes that
Speaker 2: are running through Pains common Sense and later in as
Speaker 2: American Crisis are just as relevant now as they were
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years ago. That is that no
Speaker 2: ruler is above the law, no government is entitled to
Speaker 2: unchecked power. No people remain free who surrender their conscience
Speaker 2: to the ambitions of the powerful. And how do we
Speaker 2: discern all of this stuff. Well, that's where the churches
Speaker 2: have fallen down. They have become centers of entertainment as well.
Speaker 2: So with all this happening, we had the FBI rating
Speaker 2: a reporter's home, citing a leak of classified documents. So
Speaker 2: this is the FBI, the Cash Bettel FBI, and the
Speaker 2: or Pete Pentagon, And of course, remember war Pete kicked
Speaker 2: out all of the news organizations. He said, I don't
Speaker 2: want you here. I don't want you getting any information
Speaker 2: that we don't want reported. You have to authorize it
Speaker 2: with me first, and we're going to come after people
Speaker 2: got any information like that. It's not that they're telling everybody,
Speaker 2: you know, well, here's how you can defeat this particular
Speaker 2: weapon system. We just created a death star and this
Speaker 2: is the vulnerability. No, it isn't that at all. It's
Speaker 2: not that at all. It's just anything that's critical of them.
Speaker 2: And so it's not a surprise at all to see
Speaker 2: this happening. This happened to a Washington Post reporter. It's
Speaker 2: kind of an interesting parallel to what we saw the
Speaker 2: Pentagon papers, isn't it. You know, we had Daniel Ellsberg
Speaker 2: who had secrets that he had stolen and he passed
Speaker 2: them off to Washington Post in New York Times. I
Speaker 2: think both of them got a copy of it, and
Speaker 2: so they had to decide whether they're going to publish
Speaker 2: this stuff or not, And it was not anything that
Speaker 2: was going to get anybody in trouble. It was about
Speaker 2: the conduct of the war and the attitude of the politicians.
Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court said, you can't come after the
Speaker 2: news organizations. You can come after the guy who stole
Speaker 2: the information and handed it over to him. But we
Speaker 2: have this thing called freedom of the press that is
Speaker 2: held in contempt by Pete Hegseth, held in contempt by
Speaker 2: Cash Mattel because it's held in contempt by their master,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. So again they're investigating this leak. It will
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how this goes because Trump has
Speaker 2: broken all of the conventions about freedom of the press
Speaker 2: and free speech, hasn't he If you put something out
Speaker 2: that he doesn't like, then they are going to come
Speaker 2: after you. And it appears that this is going to
Speaker 2: be coming after her. They seized her phone, took her
Speaker 2: Garmin watch, which would have information about where she has been,
Speaker 2: that type of thing, And according to Pam Bondi, she
Speaker 2: said this past week at the request of the Department
Speaker 2: of War, the Department of Justice, and it's not a
Speaker 2: Department of War. They haven't officially changed the name that
Speaker 2: it costs billions of dollars for them to do that.
Speaker 2: They haven't done that. This whole thing is a fantasy
Speaker 2: for them. The FBI secued a search warrant at the
Speaker 2: home of a Washington Post journalist who obtained in reporting
Speaker 2: who was obtaining and was reporting classified illegally leaked information
Speaker 2: from a Pentagon contractor. And so I guarantee you We'll
Speaker 2: I have to wait and see what happens, but I
Speaker 2: can almost guarantee you that this is not going to
Speaker 2: be anything that's going to put anybody's lives in danger.
Speaker 2: It's going to be something that embarrasses Pete access. Well,
Speaker 2: let me tell you something he should be embarrassed about.
Speaker 2: GROC is going to get access to classified military networks, right,
Speaker 2: but not reporters. If you report something that a contractor
Speaker 2: has told you about their policy, they're going to try
Speaker 2: to throw you in jail, but they're going to give
Speaker 2: full access to all the classified military stuff that you
Speaker 2: should be classified. That's going to go to GROC. This
Speaker 2: is how foolish excess is. In December, musk chatbot GROC
Speaker 2: made headlines for casually distributing the addresses and phone numbers
Speaker 2: of everyday people scraping data from public sources with unsettling ease,
Speaker 2: while other AI models refused. Now this same chatbot is
Speaker 2: going to be welcomed into a far more sensitive area.
Speaker 2: The people have told us that everything must be hidden
Speaker 2: for national security are going to now turn it over
Speaker 2: to chatbot that have such a great record for confidentiality.
Speaker 2: This week, PETE announced that Croc will be integrated into
Speaker 2: the Pentagon's classified system later this month as part of
Speaker 2: a sweeping department wide initiative to weaponize AI. Well just
Speaker 2: be careful. You may have AI weaponized against you, and
Speaker 2: all I can say, hexth announced the creation of a
Speaker 2: new role within the Department of Defense, the Chief Digital
Speaker 2: and Artificial Intelligence Officer. As if we didn't already have
Speaker 2: enough artificial intelligence and Pentagon before they had computers, right,
Speaker 2: it's like the another one these oxy morons. So this
Speaker 2: is a guy who used to work at Amazon's Web
Speaker 2: services because they've got a lot of government contracts, so
Speaker 2: they're pulling this guy in for that. Other AI models
Speaker 2: have their own ethics and safety issues. A futurism survey
Speaker 2: of chatbots including chat GBT, Microsoft's Copilot, and Groc found
Speaker 2: that the only Groc was willing to give operational suggestions
Speaker 2: for hypothetical invasion of Greenland. The rest of them refused,
Speaker 2: citing international law and other ethical issues. So there you go.
Speaker 2: That's already set to go for Greenland. Ramp Paul says
Speaker 2: that Trump's Department of Justice still has not acted on
Speaker 2: his criminal referral of Fauci. What a surprise? Are you
Speaker 2: surprised about that? And Fauci is a good example of this.
Speaker 2: He is the very embodiment of this stuff. Trump set
Speaker 2: him up as the viceroy and maybe even you could
Speaker 2: say even higher than that, because he bowed to Fauci.
Speaker 2: And last thing he did was to give him a medal.
Speaker 2: I know it was a commendation, not a physical medal,
Speaker 2: but that's the last thing that Trump did was to
Speaker 2: honor him. The last thing that Biden did was to
Speaker 2: pardon him. Why does ram Paul think he's going to
Speaker 2: get a referral, a criminal referral on Fauci. There's no
Speaker 2: way the system is going to do. The system has
Speaker 2: protected him. You might want to start with something a
Speaker 2: little bit more obvious than what ram Paul did. And
Speaker 2: what ram Paul is saying is he was on Joe Rogan,
Speaker 2: and he said that he had been talking to DARF
Speaker 2: K Junior and r F K Junior, who does not
Speaker 2: like Fauci and really did a good job of exposing
Speaker 2: he wrote a whole book about Fauci. Rf K Junior
Speaker 2: told Ran Paul that Fauci had allegedly told people to
Speaker 2: destroy messages that he sent them after reading because he
Speaker 2: has been so connected with intelligence the entire time, has
Speaker 2: any I mean, you know, going back to Dark Winter
Speaker 2: and other things like that. That's where the pandemic games
Speaker 2: came from. And so Rand Paul said, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: The executive branch, when they communicate, they're required to keep
Speaker 2: their communications. They're required to do it on governmental devices.
Speaker 2: So we have this evidence and I've summarized it again
Speaker 2: as a criminal referral to President Trump, but they're not
Speaker 2: doing anything with it. I wonder why you might want
Speaker 2: to start with, why was Fauci paid double what was
Speaker 2: legal for him to be paid. His salary was supposed
Speaker 2: to be capped, as everybody's his boss, his boss's boss.
Speaker 2: Their salaries were capped beneath that of the Vice president,
Speaker 2: which is just over two hundred thousand dollars facci's salary
Speaker 2: was higher than the president's salary. It was well over
Speaker 2: four hundred thousand, and so the question might start there,
Speaker 2: why was he illegally compensated and what other kinds of
Speaker 2: illegal compensation did he get in terms of royalties and
Speaker 2: other things like that. Start with the money that'll get
Speaker 2: people's attention. We start talking about destroying things and you
Speaker 2: start focusing on gain of function. Ram Paul doesn't seem
Speaker 2: to understand that the real gain of function from the
Speaker 2: COVID fraud, the COVID macduffin, the mcguffin, was there to
Speaker 2: cause to give gain of function to the government. The
Speaker 2: government is a dangerous, deadly virus that is metastasized like
Speaker 2: a cancer. And really the gain of function that came
Speaker 2: from all that stuff was the fake pandemic. That's the
Speaker 2: worst gain of function that's there. But of course we've
Speaker 2: got people like Ursula fond of lying and she is
Speaker 2: always hated free speech.
Speaker 7: Remember, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen. Yet LAOS, your annual Global
Speaker 7: Risk Report makes for a stunning and sobering read for
Speaker 7: the global business community. The top concern for the next
Speaker 7: two years is not conflict or climate it is disinformation
Speaker 7: and misinformation for not closely by polarization within our societies.
Speaker 1: In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act.
Speaker 3: You are listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ursula fond of Ye. She's now saying that free
Speaker 2: speeches a virus and we need to have a vaccine.
Speaker 3: For it has to kill you if you exercise.
Speaker 2: You know, the vaccine's going to kill you, right, just
Speaker 2: like the Trump shot. And she has always been after
Speaker 2: free speech. And of course you know they're at Davos.
Speaker 2: She was talking to her Klaus. Well, Trump's going to
Speaker 2: be there talking to her Klaus. Just remember the last
Speaker 2: time Trump went to Davos, we wound up with a
Speaker 2: global pandemic a couple of weeks later. So I just
Speaker 2: hope that doesn't happen again. So again, the first sign
Speaker 2: of a scoundrel, I think and a liar is somebody
Speaker 2: who seeks to censor other people, someone like Ursula fond
Speaker 2: of Lying, somebody like Shlomo the billionaire from Israel who
Speaker 2: was saying we have to kill the First Amendment in
Speaker 2: order to protect the First Amendment. The second sign is
Speaker 2: that they are doing this all as public officials. We
Speaker 2: have a right to privacy and secrecy, which they deny
Speaker 2: public officials. As I said before, the very word public
Speaker 2: means that it's common to all. So if you're a
Speaker 2: public official, the information that you have should be common
Speaker 2: to all. Everybody should know what you're doing. We should
Speaker 2: have transparency. She doesn't like that. In twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: Ursula fond of lying who is the non popularly elected
Speaker 2: President of the European Commission, the ultra girl boss Extraordinaire,
Speaker 2: came out swinging against free speech and a white Knuncle
Speaker 2: speech in which she likened thelign information. She said to
Speaker 2: a virus society must be inoculated against via the vaccine
Speaker 2: of pre bunking is what she called. That's just censorship.
Speaker 2: But pre bunking is actually even more than censorship. It's
Speaker 2: identifying people. It's what we talked about with a CCPA,
Speaker 2: the Coalition for Content Providence and Authentication that Gates and
Speaker 2: microsoftware pushing through, and they got hardware software companies as
Speaker 2: well as the people who are going to tell you
Speaker 2: what's true or not, you know, the establishment media like
Speaker 2: New York Times, Washington Post, BBC. And then once they
Speaker 2: got that, the hardware and software company is going to
Speaker 2: label your content. Whether it was a picture, text, or
Speaker 2: video or audio, they would label it and prevent you
Speaker 2: from even uploading it. That'd be pre bunking, right.
Speaker 8: One of the set things to me is I can
Speaker 8: imagine a lot of people would be ecstatic about this
Speaker 8: from a young age. You know, I'm dumb, so I
Speaker 8: like to go on the internet and argue with people.
Speaker 8: I realized most people automatically default to argumentation from authority. Well,
Speaker 8: this person over here with a lab coat or a
Speaker 8: doctorate says this, Well does it make any sense? Well,
Speaker 8: it doesn't matter. This person who got a degree said it,
Speaker 8: So your argument doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They don't want to debate the facts. They don't want
Speaker 2: to do science. I remember at the beginning of this thing,
Speaker 2: I played the clip over the pandemic thing. They had
Speaker 2: six people in white lab coats and there was going
Speaker 2: to be a person speaking. Before this person speaks, they
Speaker 2: want to have the authority of the people in white
Speaker 2: lab coats, so they had these people go out on stage.
Speaker 2: Three of them go out on one side of the podium,
Speaker 2: cross their hands, stand there in their white lab coats.
Speaker 2: So you got three on each side and white lab
Speaker 2: coats six total, and then the speaker comes out and
Speaker 2: takes the podium. That's the insanity of this. That's exactly
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, Travis. You're right, as technology evolves,
Speaker 2: we need to build up societal immunity. She's set around
Speaker 2: information manipulation. Research has shown that pre bunking is more
Speaker 2: successful than debunking, and that prevention is preferable to a cure. Well,
Speaker 2: I just got to say to Ursula fond of lying.
Speaker 2: Her actual name is Ursula vond Leyden or Leiden, I guess,
Speaker 2: but anyway, she's.
Speaker 3: Fond of lying.
Speaker 2: I just got to say, I've got natural immunity to
Speaker 2: government lies. I don't need to be vaccinated anymore because
Speaker 2: you know, it's like being exposed, right, according to virology,
Speaker 2: virology is an ultimate lie. But according to the science
Speaker 2: of virology, you know, you get exposed to something and
Speaker 2: you get immunity to it. Once you see how the
Speaker 2: government has lied, and we should have all seen that
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Once you see that, you should have
Speaker 2: immunity to government lies and the fact that they for
Speaker 2: their agenda just by labeling people and by then ranking
Speaker 2: them which is what SloMo was talking about. He wasn't
Speaker 2: just talking about censorship, he was talking about this pre bunking.
Speaker 2: We're going to take something we disagree with, We're going
Speaker 2: to label that person as a terrorist or as a
Speaker 2: liar or whatever, and we're going to stop them from
Speaker 2: being able to publish anything whatsoever. So we appreciate your support.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that, and that's our show for today. Tomorrow,
Speaker 2: we're going to have a couple of great interviews. We're
Speaker 2: going to have the Doctor's doctor Sam Bailey and her
Speaker 2: husband Mark Bailey are going to be joining us from
Speaker 2: New Zealand. And Sam Bailey is the only person I
Speaker 2: know that has lost two careers over her integrity of
Speaker 2: opposing this COVID pandemic stuff. She had a very lucrative career,
Speaker 2: a very successful TV presenter in New Zealand, and both
Speaker 2: she and her husband are physicians. And we're going to
Speaker 2: talk in that interview about what was done to them.
Speaker 2: You won't believe what they did and what they're still
Speaker 2: doing to them, attacking them financially after losing their careers
Speaker 2: as doctors because they told people the truth, and losing
Speaker 2: her career also as a presenter they have held their
Speaker 2: line and they've kept their integrity, their real model for people,
Speaker 2: and they got a lot of information for you as well,
Speaker 2: not only about the vaccines, but about virology and viruses
Speaker 2: as well. So they're going to be joining us tomorrow,
Speaker 2: and Jeryl Slenti is going to be joining us and
Speaker 2: he's going to talk about his trends for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people have been very interested
Speaker 2: to hear what Joy Clinti thinks it's going to be
Speaker 2: happening in this very interesting year. So thank you for
Speaker 2: joining us today. Great program coming up tomorrow, Have a
Speaker 2: good day. The common Man, they created common Core and
Speaker 2: dumbed down our children. They created common past, track and
Speaker 2: control us. They're Commons project to make sure the commoners
Speaker 2: own nothing and the communist future. They see the common
Speaker 2: man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has
Speaker 2: worth and dignity created in the image of God.
Speaker 3: That is what we have in common. That is what
Speaker 3: they want to take away.
Speaker 2: Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire
Speaker 2: to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us.
Speaker 3: It's time to turn that around.
Speaker 2: And expose what they want to hide. Please share the
Speaker 2: information and links you'll find at the Davidnightshow dot com.
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening, Thank you for sharing. If you
Speaker 2: can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
