Thu Episode #2343: The Flock Revolt Is Spreading Across America

0:00This. Yeah. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday the 3rd of September, here of our Lord 2026. Well, are you astounded at the corruption, the self-dealing of the Trump regime and his criminal cabinet? Well, if you aren't paying attention and you should pay attention today, because today we're going to talk about the quiet moves being made behind the scene by sources, right hand man, the Maga people never had a problem with it's a matter of fact, they've been cheering a lot of the things that he's done.

1:12We'll take a look at how he has made some very quiet moves behind the scene in order to crash the dollar as the Trump regime sets up the Trump family to have the alternative to it, the digital currency alternatives, people need to deal in dollars. You're setting themselves up folks like a Rothschild monopoly and it's all the usual suspects too. We got Lutnik in there, right as well, and we should remember as we come up to 9-11 about Lutnik and he's there again with data centers lying to people about everything. He's also a part of what I've been talking about as the CCDC, not CBDC, but CC, crony capitalism, digital currency, we'll be right back. But I want to begin with the data center stuff, because it's kind of interesting, you know, at the very time that Trump is going around telling everybody, you're going to it's the same line that we've been hearing from Lutnik as well.

2:20So you're going to have these things in your community, you're going to get rich. If you don't have them, you're going to be left behind, you're going to be Lutics or whatever, right? Well, he doesn't want it in his backyard does he? As a matter of fact, at the very time that he's putting out this notice that I read for you yesterday, you know, he's going to have these things and Massey sarcastically put it out and he's right to do it. He says, yes, the leader has spoken, everybody needs to have these things in their community. And I'm telling you one of the reasons that he's putting it in there. First of all, he is an authoritarian dictator. He wants to set up a police state. That's pretty obvious. What he's done with ice, it doesn't matter what the justification is. Immigration for them is just another MacGuffin. He wants a police surveillance state and all of these moves are being put in that direction. So that's the obvious part of it. I think what is less obvious to most people, I haven't seen anybody talk about this, but I look at it. I think about the fact that they're moving everything to a stablecoin based economy that Trump basically is going to control or have the major aspect of that. Of course, Lutnik, that's where this guy has lived for a long time.

3:29If you want to set up a stablecoin economy, you go to Howard Lutnik. He has no ethics either. So when you look at what they're setting up, they're going to have to be able to process these transactions. I mean, we're talking about big crypto mining type of stuff, essentially, right? It's not going to be actually mining the coins, but they're still going to need that massive computer power for that as well. So I think that is also an aspect of this because it always comes back to money and money for Trump and his family. And so I think that is a big factor that's not being considered about this. He certainly does want to have a police surveillance state. That's for sure. Well, as he was doing this, there was a data center project. And we talk about again, let's understand we talk about data centers, their surveillance centers. When we talk about data centers in terms of a physical facility, you need to be accurate by calling them hyper scale data centers. This is not something that several thousand square feet or a hundred thousand square feet. These things are millions of square feet.

4:29And that is a quantitative difference that is completely qualitative as well. And so we've had people who have been, we've had data centers all over the place for a long time. A lot of people use data centers, all the cloud stuff that's there. And as we pointed out last week, I think it was we had a guy who stood up at one of these town meetings and said, look, I run data centers. I got the one biggest ones right here. I haven't used a drop of water. The reason Google is doing all the water consumption is because they want to do it on the cheap. They've got to make the ultimate profit off of this stuff. That's how greedy they are. And he said, I've offered to explain this to the town council. They don't want to hear it. And the state rep in Iowa that I interviewed a couple of weeks ago said, yeah, they put together a piece of legislation in Iowa that said, if you're going to build one of these hyper scale centers in here, you need to tell us a few things. How much electricity are you going to be taking off the grid? How much water are you going to be taking? And they said, Google didn't want to do that. They said, there's no prohibitions. We just want to know what you're going to be doing.

5:38And so Google did not want to tell people how much water they're going to be using. And they got it shut down by the Republican Party leadership. That's the way they always do this. So you can have a bipartisan bill that comes up and it'll be shut down by the partisan leadership there. So going back to Trump's hometown there in Palm Beach County, Florida, the commission voted five to one to reject project tango. A plan to expand a data center facility to roughly $3.6 million square feet is located about 16 to 20 miles away from Marlago. And so again, not in my backyard, right? 72 hour public hearing that was marked by intense by partisan local opposition. So Trump thinks that these polls out there showing him seeking are just rigged. He doesn't think it's because people are paying more of the grocery store, more of the gas pop. He doesn't think it's because of his unpopular war for Israel. He doesn't think it's because of his push for data centers and nobody wants.

6:41We don't want to pay for them. We don't want to be surveilled by them. And we certainly don't want them next door as a neighbor. And of course, people in Palm Beach didn't either, but it is a bipartisan pushback against him. So he thinks that these poll numbers are fake. Let me tell you something. If the Republicans win, those polls will be fake. And they're capable of doing that. Don't question that at all. So it's a strain on the infrastructures. They said environmental impacts are worried about the Everglades. They said, even if you're not going to take a tremendous amount of water from the Everglades and they were going to take a tremendous amount of water from the Everglades, they said, even if you're recycling this stuff, you're going to be generating so much heat. You're going to cause algae blooms and other things like that. So community disruption with noise and other things like that. It reflects a broader national trend with at least 75 data center proposals blocked or delayed across the United States in the first three months of 2026 due to similar local concerns.

7:43But of course, Trump says, you'll be poor. You'll be left behind. China is going to win. Right. The same stuff we're hearing from Marsha of the Beast Blackburn. She's comically evil. I got to say, this is this is the issue. And this is the issue where I will show up. I don't know who the Democrat person is. I will show up and vote against her. Whoever is on the ballot. If I can find a third party candidate, I'll vote for them. But if not, I'll vote for anybody over Marsha of the Beast Blackburn. Data centers near Marlago, next right after Trump touted them. That's right. Just hours as a matter of fact, he was out there tweeting out stuff saying they're going to be liquid gold. Well, nobody believes that. Right. You got to be really naive to think that's going to be the case. By the way, you know, he's not the only one either. When you look at the flock CEO, he jealous regards his secret, his privacy. I should say, yeah, everything is a secret. If it has to do with him, but he wants to know everything that you do.

8:47That's the business model. And so if you look at what he's done, he's taken it to the extreme that he had Google blur out his home from street view. This is what it looks like. You can't see anything that he's got there. It's not interesting. He's got polls with Google map, of course. And when you look at what these companies are doing, hopefully they're going to be in a lot of trouble. This is an article from futurism. They're big, the big customer, of course, is government and government has unlimited amounts of money thanks to the fiat currency that is there in Trumpkin. Flood these commissioners and the corporations can flood them with money. That's the real risk. These people are buying their way in. They only have to corrupt a few people locally to give whatever they want. They got tons of money to do that. Nevertheless, when you look at this, there's a lot of jurisdictions that are now reducing their flock cameras. And as they point out, although a lot of them are still keeping them and a flock claims that it is bringing in new customers that are right faster than they're losing them.

9:53One of the things that could accelerate this is the fact that if you have as the data sharing aspect. So even when you're looking at it from a local police department perspective, if you've got some geographically contiguous people like say that you're the next city of the city. Whatever part of the value they believe of this is the fact that they can network if they're trying to follow somebody that can network between where they are and the next jurisdictions over right. So if the people around them start pulling down their flock cameras that significantly takes down the value of their system because it's not a camera. It's a network. It's a surveillance network. That is the product. The camera is just the most obvious part of it. It is the tip of the iceberg. It is the eyes and ears of this surveillance system. But it's the network that is the real issue. And so this article from Futurism says the backlash of these different countries is dropping flock contracts at a record pace or retreat so widespread that some say it could affect the company's viability. Hopefully so.

11:06Quite frankly, we talked about the fact that corporations that engage in evil conduct. There should be a death penalty for them because the corporations are just fictional entities. They are institutions that have been created by government, not by God. And so they are government creature and government should be able to kill them when they turn evil. Slogan should be don't be evil right. Google left that behind a long time ago, even before he died, Steve Jobs mocked and he says, yeah, don't be evil right. It's laughing about it at that point in time. But when you look at a corporation that becomes evil, it should be dissolved. It should be killed. And if your corporations business model like flock, their business model folks is to destroy the Fourth Amendment to do surveillance without a search warrant. That is their business model. If your business model is about destroying the Constitution, you should be destroyed as a corporation.

12:10There is absolutely no reason that these things should be allowed to continue to exist by the people in government who swear to a public Constitution, well, if you're going to a public Constitution, maybe you should get ready these companies that are there to thwart the Constitution as a business model. And when I say that, I mean that they ought to come out and they ought to say, we're not even going to let you create a surveillance network out of private cameras. That's not going to be allowed. In the sense that, you know, somebody can put up a camera on their property. And if they want to start recording, what happens there, they're allowed to do that. It's public. But if you want to network these things together, and that's the way that they're doing it in a lot of these cases, they'll go in and offer deals to people to put this stuff up on private property. Because what they want is the network. If you're going to put that stuff together and a network, that should be banned. You need to ban it at the appropriate, don't fixate on the noise of the data centers. Don't fixate even on the water and on the electricity usage.

13:15Those types of things are secondary. They're problems, but they're secondary. The real problem is a surveillance. And when you get to the flock things, the real issue is not the cameras as much as it is the network. It's the network stupid. Fairfax, James Carval, and we're going to be talking about the economy stupid because it is a stupid economy. We're stupid if we let these people get away with it because they have some very sinister plans. We're going to talk about here in a moment. So there's about 214 municipal governments have opted to drop their contracts with flock since 2021. The data comes courtesy of a anti surveillance group based out of Oakland, California, secure justice. They said recent history shown that when flock cameras and a neighboring town go down police become much more likely to cancel or to non-renew their own contracts. Because the main utility for law enforcement comes from the combined network. It is the network, not the camera.

14:15When you see that now 165 cancellations in just the first almost eight months of this year, at that speed, if it goes another year, we're talking about some serious money going away. If this thing continues to pick up speed. But of course, some people are not content to wait for government to reform itself. And I say that government needs to reform itself because the very fact that you got flock cameras there and a surveillance network and violation of the force. And violation of the fourth amendment says the government is corrupt. They have violated their oath to the Constitution. Here's a guy though who I think this guy is a hero. This is the guy that I played an interview with him before and he was absolutely unrepentant about it. And you can see this and that when he was going around cutting these fly cameras down, he just put them in the back of his pickup truck. He wasn't even trying to hide it. Here he is getting arrested. Look at his pickup truck. He's got a big American flag on it. And in the back of the pickup truck, he's got tons of these flock poles. And there's a police holding a gun on him. Turn around, hold your hands up. Hold rest of the stuff. That was an Albuquerque in New Mexico.

15:24What that guy needs when he goes to trial is a fully informed jury. You are there to judge not just the law as not just the facts of case, but you're there to judge the law and how these things are going to be applied. And this is a misapplication of the law to arrest people who are stopping the violation of the Fourth Amendment. That is something that the fully informed jury, I'll let that guy go. And it's a matter of fact, we've already had a situation with that. And I thought it was interesting because the jury nullification came from the grand jury. Usually the grand jury are the quote unquote upstanding citizens that the government can reliably count on to rubber stamp anything that they do. And that's typically what happens with the grand jury. You can usually indict a ham sandwich. In this case, it wasn't a ham sandwich that brought down the flock cameras that was a person. And they refuse to indict them. So I think that's a positive sign as well. Who knows, maybe we'll start to recover our freedom as we see it. It's going to be a pretty close race. It's neck and neck, isn't it?

16:29I got the horse right here. His name is Paul Revere, but the quote guys and dolls, but the Paul Revere is running neck and neck with Joseph Stalin in Chairman Mao here in America. And so it is a horse race, folks. We don't know how this is going to end. Getting rid of flock surveillance isn't enough to solve America's surveillance problem, right? It's a reason magazine. And they're absolutely right. You know, when we look at 9-11 and we've got the anniversary of that coming up tomorrow, we've got a great interview. Are we courted yesterday with Richard Gage? Richard Gage 9-11 dot org. And he is putting together a big convention. It's going to run for several days. It's going to be online. And you can find out about that stuff in the interview tomorrow. He did a great presentation. He came with it. I mean, it wasn't really an interview. I just let him go with this presentation about 9-11. Because he has so much information. And it really is truly amazing. If you see what the government did to us with 9-11, how they lied, how they made such obvious lies, you'll never trust them again.

17:36When they come around on the next pandemic, you'll look at this and you're like, well, I don't know. I remember what you guys did the last time with the pandemic. That woke up a lot of people. More people should have been awakened with 9-11 and we're at the 25th anniversary of that. And that really was, I think, the Reichstag fire. That established the police surveillance system. You know, the Reichstag fire was what the Nazi party pulled off in Germany to get power. This was much, much more sophisticated, much, much more planned. And again, the next shoe to drop was the COVID-McGuffin. And they practiced and planned that for 20 years. So, yeah, you think about how long they were practicing and planning this 9-11 thing. Getting rid of flock isn't enough. We got to get rid of the surveillance state. And I think the only way we're only going to get out of this is to destroy people's gullibility of believing everything that government says.

18:36And look at what happens when Trump gets up and makes a pronouncement about how he's won the war. How many times has he won the Iranian War? So, he started it. And yet he hasn't. He hasn't. And yet every time he does it, he's successfully manipulates the marketplace. Because you got people like Howard Lutnik and Scott Besant, the crooks like that, who are running these scams on the market, on the stock market. And they're more than willing to pass it along to the robes who will buy into that. And we have way too many people who buy into whatever the government tells them no matter how stupid it is. They will not believe their lying eyes. Instead, they'll believe the lying president. They'll believe the lying Lutnik. And that is the real issue. You got to destroy their credibility because they have none. But people are pretending that the emperor has clothes. These people are naked liars, bringing us naked tyranny. And unless you expose that, unless you expose 9-11, unless you expose COVID, we are going to be going into the darkest age that mankind has overseen.

19:45I literally mean that. I'm not exaggerating that. You look at the tools and the power that these people have. It truly is astounding. And I've never seen a more evil group of people absolutely devoid of any ethics, any compassion for their fellow man. I've never seen a grittier bunch of murders than these people. You talk about what happened with 9-11. That was small in terms of number of casualties compared to what Trump did with COVID. And it was Trump. That she was under Trump. He didn't do anything to Trump with to Fauci, except give him a commendation. And then Biden gave him a medal. This is systemic. It is bipartisan. It is long term. It's been going on for decades. You can trace this back to George W. Bush as well, and even before that. All of these people are in on it. We need to wake up as a nation to what these people are doing. So the reckoning is necessary. And the awakening is necessary before we can have a reckoning. You have to understand that government cannot be trusted.

20:49And these big corporations cannot be trusted. And the police cannot be trusted with these kinds of weapons. They should never have them. These are the people who are telling us, oh, I can't trust you with this kind of gun or that kind of gun. Well, guess what? The police can't be trusted with those kinds of surveillance tools. They are just far too dangerous. Let's take a look at the claims of Howard Lucknick in regards to the data centers. And of course Howard Lucknick gets out there telling us that, oh, yeah, the data centers are fine. Just like JD Vance. I don't understand what the big deal about data center. They're not a problem, right? Yeah. He really showed himself this week, didn't he? JD Vance says a technocrat and JD Vance as a Zionist boy really underscored where this where he's coming from. I mean, data centers don't use water. The data centers. This is propaganda by our adversaries to try to see it down. Right.

21:49So think about it. These these AI things, they, they suck water and they need water, right? And so they need a plumber, but not a plumber plumber. Yeah, this is lucky. Look at the guy who everybody in his company had a couple hundred people all that died several hundred people. Maybe I want to say 600. I'm not sure the figure. And his brother died on 911 in one of those buildings. He was really lucky though, because he decided on that day that he would take his child to kindergarten for the first and only time. Right. So just like we've never seen buildings collapse in the footprint like that, we've never seen let Nick take his kid to kindergarten like that either. He's really lucky and had one person say, well, when I said that he got laid, they said, well, you know, his brother was in that building to I said, well, you have a higher opinion of Howard Lucknik than I do. Howard Lucknik that I've seen wouldn't have a problem with that. When people talk about data centers using water, he said the number one product in America that uses water is cattle.

22:55So Bill Gates is right. We should get rid of the cows. You know, the cows are always they're always farting. They're creating CO2 and methane. They're using all water. You should be eating bugs instead. Right. There he is. He's just going back to the world economic form talking points. He said, I mean data centers don't use water. This is propaganda by our adversaries. You know, just like Marsha of the Beast Blackburn. Yeah, we got that shine out there. We're going to crumble these Chinese fortune cookies because China is going to take us over the propaganda of our adversaries to try to slow us down. Data centers are really world class productions build a data center produced huge economics right. So he says, I think those who are inviting data centers will win them and their economies and their communities will be winning. You know, we'll be all be winning just like we're winning with Donald Trump and the higher prices for everything and the wars that we don't want.

23:55And the war crimes that he's committed is all just winning isn't it? And so you went on to say he was talking to Hannity that second part of that clip that show that he was lying that was back in 2025 ancient history. Isn't he said to Hannity said if you think about it, the fact reason China with a million people working for them. That's what their power is. They've got human capital. Well, you know, they've also got cheaper powers while they're allowed to burn coal. That was a UN agenda when they put together the 2015 Paris Climate Accord. And you had John Kerry and Barack Obama say we self ratified that. We don't need to take it to Congress to ratify treaty. And Donald Trump stayed in that treaty is entire first four years. Oh, I'm going to get out of it. But you know, my hands are trying to kick it out for four years after I say that I'm going to get out. Yeah, come on. We know why they put that in there. They know what the term of a president is. Anyway, he could have gotten out of it. It wasn't a legitimate treaty, but he chose to say into it and pretend that he was going to get out. He's done the same thing when it comes to world health organization.

25:02When it comes to you and he gets out it says I'm going to stop giving money to the world health organization. And then he gives it to Gavi instead. Anyway, we're going to do what we're going to do is build these automated factories, the high tech factories of the future. Are people are going to work in high tech factories. Yeah, high is high tech is starting to just look like high dollar to me. I'm not really impressed with that. Technology is a tool. And if the people who have all the tools are evil, that's a concern. 20 billion dollar factory said may only employ 30 3000 or 4000 people. But that means the starting salary is $75,000. And this is for technician. He says, so think about it. These AI things, they suck water and they need water. And they need a plumber. But not a plumber plumber like you just heard him say they need like an HVAC specialist that starts at $100,000. These are great jobs. So he says that you know you've got a factory might employ three or 4000 people.

26:06But you got an AI data center. They're going to hire a plumber to start the thing and then he loses his job. That's the big issue. If you stop and think about it, that was what the Iowa State Representative said. She said if you look at the massive burden that comes up. And you've got like 8,000 people come into build these hyper scale data centers. And in these real communities, it's a real burden on the infrastructure. You know, we don't have the motels. We don't have the restaurants and all the other kind of stuff to. And if you build the stuff up, understand that I'll going to leave one day real soon. It's going to be a giant rug poll if you try to expand your local economy with that. And when you look at the parking lots of these hyper scale data centers, you ever notice how small the parking lots are. That right there tells you they're not planning on a lot of employees. They don't need a lot of employees. They need employees during the construction phase after that. They don't need them. And then what happens when the GPU is obsolete in three years. What happens to that big building? Does it become just industrial blight on the land? Yeah, it does. So Trump administration has a cyber push that they're reaching the Texas water systems. And I'm not talking about AI using the water. But that really is the cyber push that's going to attack the water system. They're trying to get them scared about Iran coming after the water system in America with cyber attacks.

27:31Yeah, we should be concerned about running attacks on our infrastructure, what based on what we're doing to them. Because we've seen the same thing happening in Russia and Ukraine. And it's inevitable that it's going to happen here. We've already had some dry runs of people testing that. If you used to go like I talked about it's about a decade ago, I think it's 2013. That you had some people operating as snipers and they had a spotter working with them as well. They weren't able to catch them, but you had people who saw them reported them. But within about an hour, they were able to take out a tremendous number of transformers and do it silently. They didn't blow the transformers up. They took out the cooling system for them and let them basically bleed out melt down. So the Trump administration is launching a new cybersecurity initiative to protect the water systems from these alleged attacks. I don't know the really up to. I mean, you look at this and maybe they've got some maybe they're trying to just embed themselves in so they could attack the water system.

28:36Maybe what they're trying to do is to do some kind of predictive programming to get people all paranoid about attacks on the infrastructure so they could do a different type of attack on the infrastructure. I don't know exactly what they're up to. I just know that number one, there's no reason for a water treatment system to be online. Now, reason whatsoever. The way they came after some of these companies, remember the colonial pipeline company, one of the bigger oil pipeline companies east of the Mississippi. The way they came after them was they took over their computer so they couldn't do billing. They didn't go out and actually control the, any kind of automated switches that were going to control the flow of oil, they just took down their accounting system. Well, I mean, how much of an accounting system do you need for a water system if it's publicly a public utility? I mean, you could go for a while without actually having that accounting system if you needed to. So number one, you don't need to hook these things up to the internet.

29:36Number two, the real threat to the water is not Iran. The real threat to the water supply is the Trump push, the Trump regime pushing these AI data systems out and everybody will be right back.

31:20Liberty, it's your move. And now the David Knight show. All right, so yes, there is a separate card initiative to protect the water from the same people that want to dump fluoride in it. And the same people that are foolishly connecting it to the internet. Here's the, here's a hint. Just pull the plug from the internet. Project watershed 250 will connect water utility providers with cyber defense resources at no cost to them, but to some taxpayers who knows is becoming from the federal government. I guess by leveraging the experience of private sector business with the expertise of the Texas cyber command. So many rural providers like the resources they need to defend themselves said the governor's office and yet they have the resources to connect their water systems to the internet when they shouldn't be doing that.

32:21So again, this is very suspicious. And yet the reality is that in Texas, water is a big issue. So Western state they have a lot of droughts. They had a lot of droughts while we're there. I used to joke when we were Texas. I never liked the weather in Texas. It was just too hot for me and too hot and dry, but I said it's all it was so hot there. I said the weather report here is either hell or high water is either flooding or you're going to be melting to that. Texas has long struggled with drought aging infrastructure, regional supply shortages, mandatory rationing already exists there. The Texas Tribune reported last September that Texas already had more than 400 data centers operating or under development. And again, not all of these. This is the mudding the water when you just use the term data center. They may have a lot of data centers that were part of the cloud computing or something like that that maybe don't even use any water. The site, the guy that spoke at that local town meeting. He said we have a cooling system that doesn't use water. They're going trying to go cheap with this. So they already had 400 data centers operating on development.

33:28They said another 70 facilities were planned. And they said this is part of the build out of Trump's Stargate project, the half a trillion dollar project that announced on his very first day in office. If you remember, the push is coming through him. Not necessarily just from him. He's not the mastermind of this stuff. He's the puppet they put in place to get this done. While he trashes the dollar system, he gets people arguing about the fact of his face on a coin, which is really prohibited. But they get around that by calling it a commemorative coin by 2030. The water demand could increase to 2.7% of the total annual water use in Texas from data centers because Greg Abbott, one of these things, you know, bring him, bring it on. You know, bring as many as you can. We can fit him all in Texas. That is however the equivalent water consumption of 1.3 million average US households. Think about that. That's why it's the hyper scale that makes the difference. And what is this being done for? It's being done to spy on us.

34:38It's being done to do continuous audits on us. Bring me the man. I'll find the crime. It's being done in order to have a clearinghouse for their stable coins. Yeah, that's all these things are reasons. Nothing that we want. Nothing that we need. And so the new American says, well, what if the threat becomes the pretext in addition to the attribution of cyber warfare attacks, they said, or complex delayed and initially uncertain. Well, they always are. Look, it was 2017 when the vault seven documents released. That was the CIA and the NSA's, I don't know which agency had it, but it was their plan. Where they could appear, they could make themselves look like any country they wanted to, you know, we look at the forensic fingerprints on these things. You had some people say, well, look, this is obviously this is coming from Russia. And we can tell because of this and that. I don't know what the factors were. They were looking at. I remember the time I was talking to John McAfee, and I also talked to William Benny. William Benny was the global technical head of the NSA until he came a whistleblower about the illegal, unconstitutional criminal things that the NSA was doing. Then they came after him and some other people as well. But, and of course, John McAfee, an expert in the same, both of them said exactly the same thing.

36:02Said, nobody would be that stupid to not disguise themselves. They said, they've got ways to disguise this. And, and of course, long behold, then we had the actual turns out that got an app for it or program, right? And first, Wikileaks released the manual so you could see what they were doing. And then somebody else got vault seven and actually released the code. And so at that point, Wikileaks released the code, but that was back in 2017. So the code to do this, we know that they're doing it. We've seen the manual. We know what the capability is. And the code to do it has been released in the wild. So anybody could do it. This is not just something that sovereign nations can do. And who knows what other tools other people have developed. I mean, this is a decade ago. And so it's a lot worse than that now. So when you say, when you come out and say, well, look at that. We have a problem at a water plant. I think that was a cyber attack. And if it was a cyber attack, I know that it was Iran. If you say that, I know you are lying. You don't have any way to determine that. And certainly not that quickly. And we've seen those types of lies over and over again.

37:11The same kind of lies that we saw with the attribution of 911. And in many cases, as a matter of fact, goat tree, who has been a very long time and cyber security, he's gotten out of it now. I think he's retired. But he said, you always look for an inside job. Just like 911, right? Who benefits from this is most likely you look at these things as usually an inside job. And they like to keep those back doors open into the software code. The developers will put them in there. The companies often insist on it. The governments will frequently insist on back doors and software. It's because they all want to go in and do things. Really, not the developers necessarily, but the owners and the government always is doing nefarious stuff. Well, when you look at what is happening in Texas, this is another head fake from Greg Abbott and company. They say, we're going to shut down the flat cameras. We're going to stop funding them at the state level. But there's more to it than that. And we've got a Texas state representative who was blowing the whistle on this head fake. It really is a head fake. The Dallas police are shutting down hundreds of flat cameras after a funding pause. That's the headline. Here is the reality.

38:26They're going to cancel 321 of the flat cameras, but more than 300 flat cameras will still be operating throughout Dallas. We read the headline. Look, so like Dallas is canceling their project with another not. They're getting rid of half of the cameras because they've lost some funding. And you have to pay for these things each and every year. They lease these things to you. So they're getting rid of about half of them. So the cameras remain an important investigator tools of the police department there. They're used daily by detectives to develop leads to identify vehicles associated with criminal activity. Really? Do they? Is that really what is happening? As a matter of fact, some people called out a local police officer who is giving this lie. And it is a lie. We can see it's a lie. If you look at the FBI crime statistics in Atlanta, you know that the most heavily saturated area with flat cameras. It has made no difference at all on most of the crime statistics.

39:28The many of them, the violent crimes have gone up. It's made no difference whatsoever on vehicle crimes statistics. And so people called out a sheriff deputy who was making this argument. What's this? What I want to let everybody know is like technology doesn't have to be perfect. It's going to be very, very, very, very, very useful. We need to dissolve crime. It's a very good tool in solving crime. No, it's not. How many crimes have you solved with it? Yeah. So I'm not doing answering. Yeah. You're dismissed. And so, man, you're dismissed. Well, how many of you solved with it? Well, I'm not going to answer that. Why not? Yeah. Yeah. It's like asking Pfizer. You know, if you check this out, what is your study show in terms of safety and efficacy? Well, I'm not going to talk about that. The police don't want to talk about the safety and the efficacy of these flock surveillance systems either. That should be all you need to know.

40:29Meanwhile, Brian Harrison, who is a Texas state representative, put this out on, on, on, ex he said, Moments ago, I confirmed that Texas government has already spent over $11 million on 1236 flock cameras, even worse, he said. We find out that the Texas state government is confirming that they are in fact using MVCPA funds. I had to look that up. That is the motor vehicle crime prevention authority. So you're pre-crime authority there in Texas. So yeah, they've got a state crime fund that's there and they're the ones who are funding it. He said they're in fact using the MVCPA funds, but the Texas legislature never explicitly authorized those funds to be used for flock. Last week, local governments in Texas were stopped from using state funds for flock. Good, but apparently the state government has been and may still be using state funds for flock cameras.

41:29Now, this is something you should file away in your memory when you look at the people who are the congressional representatives who say, we've got to ban these things, right? We heard that from the Texas state representative. We heard it from Thomas Massey. I've got a way we're going to defund these things. Well, they're simply talking about removing both of them. Both of them, you know, Massey's introduced his bill and unfortunately, you know, what I thought and what many other people thought it would be, would be a removal of all say you're getting all different kinds of federal money and different programs and that type of thing. To make this work, you have to not just say, I'm not going to give you money for flock. You have to make it a penalty. Otherwise, they're going to put these things in. And unfortunately, both the bill from the Texas representative as well as from Thomas Massey, neither one of them do anything about that.

42:29They don't really penalize people. They just say, well, we're not going to give you the money for it. That's what's happening in Texas. And yet there's another organization that will give them the money. We see this type of thing happening over and over again. And if you want to know how these things are really going to be abused, just take a look at this particular case. This is somebody who was filming the police, which this whole thing is predicated on the police. You'll hear the police say, oh yeah, we can film people in public. No problem at all. Don't you dare film me. I'm going to wear a mask and if you come out with a camera, I'm going to get in your face. I'm going to push you around. I'm going to start harassing you. And that's exactly what these cops did. So don't you dare film a cop. But they have the right to film us all they want to, right? This is the national security state, folks. This is the cancer of the federal national security system. The idea that everything that they do is kept secret from us. But they have to know everything that we're doing. That is the foundational principle of this corrupt government that we've had since World War II.

43:36And it's not being pushed out to the local police as well. Listen to this. This is someone who said, I don't like the way I was treated by an officer. And then they decide, well, we're going to look into you. Do you think this is a reasonable use of license plate reading cameras or retaliation? A Waka Shaw County man is suing the Waka Shaw County Sheriff's Department. After learning deputies used these flat cameras to search the location of his car more than a hundred times after he filed a citizen complaint. I'm Ben Jordan and investigative reporter for TMJ4 in Milwaukee. This all stems from his traffic stop back in May of 2025. Napoleon Jones said it was odd that Elizabeth squad was pulling someone over in Sussex. He pulled out his cell phone recorded the stop, got back in his car. Only to see the deputies swing right behind him and say your temporary registration isn't being displayed properly. Jones refused to hand over his ID. He was arrested and jailed. Only to be released without a ticket or charge.

44:39Because the deputies learned the traffic stop was unlawful since it was in a private parking lot. Napoleon Jones filed a citizen complaint against the deputies. It was in the sheriff's response to his complaint where he learned he had been flocked. If you look closely, the bottom of the image shows it came from a flock license plate reading camera captured three weeks after the traffic stop and two miles away from the parking lot where Jones was arrested. The deputy at the center of the citizen complaint testified as part of the civil lawsuit saying he was instructed to do the flock searches by a lieutenant. A captain also testified echoing deputy Brandon Seahorns reason for the search to obtain a photo showing Jones's temporary registration was improperly displayed. But she said she didn't know why deputy Seahorn would have been investigating a citizen complaint against him. The lieutenant who instructed Seahorns to do those searches declined to comment as did the Wachershaw County Sheriff's Department do to the ongoing lawsuit.

45:43Napoleon Jones ultimately wants accountability. He believes there shouldn't be happening to anyone else. Yeah. One of the reasons why I refuse to give the guy his ID and again I don't like the idea that the idea that or the ID. I reject this ID that we've got always have an ID to present to people to me. It's Max of Nazi Germany. You know, I did the papers piece and I don't like to see that happening. And yet he said you don't have a reason to ask me for this because I'm on private property. And he was right. They found out when he sued them that his supervisor told him said you don't have a legitimate arrest here because you got this guy on private property. It was simply vindictive and he knew it from the very beginning. You know, I don't have a proper display of this thing on the back. I mean, I've been pulled over for petty stuff like that we all have right. I remember when I first started working at Texas Instruments. I was working late at night one night. I was I left like about two or three o'clock in the morning.

46:45Middle of the night. There was nobody else on the road. I'm driving up and there's a again, this is right adjacent to where I was working. So it's not a residential area. There was no traffic or anything completely empty because of time of night. And the light turned yellow and my instinct was to speed up and go through the yellow light. But then I happened to notice over on the right hand side a cop was sitting there the only other car that was there. So I put on the brakes and came to a control stop but it was pretty pretty rapid and I looked over and he was looking at me and I just grand. Because like you thought you hadn't even written right. And so I'm going to work the next morning like about eight o'clock and he was waiting for me. And he pulls me over and he says you did a turn back there changed lanes without using a turn signals like seriously. You know, how do you prove that you did or did not do that? And again, it's just that kind of harass me see that all the time. So as supervisor said that wasn't legitimate. You don't have any authority to do that on private property.

47:46So the next day he followed a complaint and then as part of that discovery as you heard the guy say they came across this thing. It said, wait a minute. This is like three weeks after I've been pulled over and this is the flight camera. And so then they amended the lawsuit to take a look at that. And that's when they found out that there were orders internally to start following him and that they had done it over a hundred times including the guy that he filmed was a part of that. And so they said they're looking at this and goes well, he said first he said I couldn't understand why or how that would even be possibility from what happened at the beginning of May that would lead me to being searched in the flock system. Because from my understanding it's for criminal stuff. Because you really believe that. I don't think he's that naive, but yeah, it's not for criminal stuff. It's for their own little super toy that they use. And his lawyer said yes, this is really an attempt to find a potential crime against Jones because they had a beef with them.

48:52Yes, bring me the man and I'll find the crime. That's why we have search warrants folks that is not something that is new. That's not something is limited to communist countries like Soviet Union or the or Mao's country. It's always been a hallmark of tyranny. That's why you need to have a search warrant because you need to have a crime before you start searching people. And that is what is sadly missing in terms of the awareness of people in America. All of the people who are operating the system is a matter of fact. So then that brings us to Thomas Massey's bill, which has now been released. As I said before, we had him and we had a representative from Tennessee, Tim Burchett. He said we got to ban these dagum things. And yet both of their measures, I applaud their understanding that these things have to be stopped. But both of their measures don't go far enough. It's like focusing on the camera and missing the network.

49:52And I'll be introducing a bill. We'll be going to the floor to vote on a measure. And I'll introduce a bill called the flock off bill. I've got about half a dozen sponsors. It's a bipartisan bill. And it would, it's a very modest proposal. Some would say it doesn't go far enough. But I would say it's the constitutional answer. And that is to withhold funding for flock cameras and other brands of cameras that do the real time monitoring of law-abiding citizens to withhold federal funding for those projects. Yes. I love it. Although you have, well, I don't love it. I gotta say that the, this is a Republican head fake. We're seeing this in Texas. We're seeing it in Tennessee from Tim Burchett. We're seeing it from Thomas Massey even to say we're not going to pay for the flight cameras. You have to pay for them yourself yourself. No, the purpose of government is to protect our God-given liberty. The purpose of government is to protect the Constitution. And everybody swears as a condition of their office, whether they're local sheriff or local police officer on the street.

51:02They all swear to uphold the Constitution. So it's about time you start doing something about it. Massey and Burchett and the rest of you need to stop these dagum things. Do what you say you're going to do. Instead, you're playing these games out there. You're sucking up to the police state. You don't want to take it on. And then you're telling the public that you're doing something about it. I'm sick of these Republicans who do that all the time on every issue. There's nothing but limited hangout. So he said, yeah, some people say it doesn't go far enough. I'm one of those people. I don't think it goes anywhere near what needs to be done. The networking needs to be banned. End of story. And you take all the money away from the you want a constitutional thing here. Massey take away all the money that is coming from the federal government to control these local agendas. That's the way the entire COVID thing operated. I mean, I talked about this to us. Boom the face of people. It's not Trump is doing the COVID lockdowns. This is those bad Democrat governors. I said he's paying them to do it. He says if you don't do it, I'm going to take away your money for everything.

52:06And that's that worked. That is the mechanism. And when Thomas Massey said that. I thought, okay, good. He understands the mechanism and he's going to do the right thing. And I even complimented him on that. Now it turns out the guy put this up the Twitter account is Orwell Day. And I guess I'm Orwell night. Night and day. We had to tell you about Orwell all the time. The clock is striking 13 folks. It is looking pretty dishonest every day. Look at this stuff. He says, I'm a little bit disappointed. The way he talked about it beforehand made it sound like you would have told all federal funds from any municipality that uses Fox out. I can't miss. And he did say it that way. I believe that as well. And I said, that's what has to be done. You can't just limit it and say, well, in the future, you know, we're not going to fund the rest of the stuff. Look at what they did with the trainees in the bathrooms. Right. They said, well, we got all this money that we're giving you for your sports programs. We're going to remove all of that money. They didn't say, well, we're going to take away funding for some additional bathrooms or something like that. No, they didn't do that. Take all the money away from that.

53:11But you'll take all the money away from everything they do. If you got a jurisdiction that is intent on setting up an anti-fourth amendment system here, you need to shut that down. Right. We need to have a sanctuary government for the fourth amendment. We don't have a sanctuary government for the second amendment. We need to have sanctuary. We have the anti-flot thing. We should be a sanctuary movement for the fourth amendment. Well, I'll finish up with this flock stuff here with one account from a listener who said, my experience with flock cameras. Well, this is interesting. And actually from Canada. The listener there is in Ontario. They said they took a trip. A four-week cross-country trip came back and they had a ticket in their mailbox saying that they had run a red light. Now, this is not necessarily flock, I think, because we've had situations with red light cameras and they are horrific. And he lays out all of his beef with it, which are all legitimate. I mean, he should have a legitimate beef with a camera like that.

54:22I mean, I've had police officers accuse me of running on the red light and I said, well, good. I've got a dash camera. Let's go back and review the tape if you want. It'll take it to court with me. Well, never mind. Just have a good day. You know, that type of thing. So you need to protect yourself that way. But the accusations from automated cameras are horrific. And as he pointed out, he said he's only had two accidents in the long period of driving. I think he said he's been driving for like 50 years or something. He said, I had a drunk driver hit me. Yeah, 53 years, he said. Never had an accident. There was my fault. I had two claims against the insurance company. He said one of them was a kid who was working with their phone and rear-ended me. Another one was a drunk driver going over 100 miles an hour. I hope you were okay. Anyway, he said, when I look at this, you know, I can't tell. It looks like, you know, they just give you a couple of still shots. They don't give you the full evidence there. It looks to me like I was making right in turn. This is the kind of game that you have the police will often play where it's like you didn't count the three before you went around that stop sign type of thing. I know how that works. These things are so egregious. Any points that he said, so when you look at the net result of this is it going to make me so cautious that I slam on breaks and get rear-ended because that was one of his two accidents. And he said, you know, these things are very important.

55:50They are not helping with safety at all. And of course, they don't. And that's one of the reasons why in Texas, they banned localities from actually putting these things in. And that was the right thing to do. In that particular case, they did the right thing. You should not be allowed to have these red light cameras. But this is just another example of how they will take our tax money and use it to come after us even more. Even to the extent I was kind of surprised. He talked about this. It was like a $300 Canadian dollar fine. Okay. And so I don't know what the exchange rate is. Maybe it's about 70% of an American dollar. But it would be over $200 for a fine like that. And then they added tax to it. That's adding insult to injury. I think when you put a tax on top of a fine. And I look at that and I thought, how does the government put a tax on its quote-unquote services? I guess the fine is a government service. I don't know. But I looked at it and I thought, well, maybe it's because of corporations. Maybe this ticket is coming from a corporation.

56:55What they did not ban in Texas is the toll roads. That's what really bothers me to see Billy who's been on this and bothered Frank nicely as well. Neither one of us wanted to see any toll roads here in Texas. I tend to say we were one of the only about 14 or 15 states that didn't have toll roads when I moved here. And now we have the current Republican governor wants to make sure that's going to happen. He's got a big project underway. It's going to take out billions of dollars out of the people's pockets and handed over to corporations. Well, they had that in Texas as well. I avoided these things like the plague. I absolutely refused to patronize a toll road. I will drive forever to avoid these things. But we had a couple of situations where they would send us a picture and say, this is your car. Like I said, no, it's not. And you have to do that because if you just ignore it, this thing that cost already, I thought it was too much money, but you know, they might charge like $3 or $4 or something for a toll area that you went on to.

57:56But if you ignore it, it starts compounding and with fines, all the rest of the stuff, it gets really big, really fast. So you have to call them up and he spend an inordinate amount of time. And as a matter of fact, it happened to us twice after we moved away from Texas. We got these notifications in the mail. Karen was the one who got on the phone and wasted her day with them. But you know, it's like send me the proof. No, that's not me. You know, we weren't even in Texas at that point time. So I know it's not me. And they'll say, OK, yeah, you eventually they'll agree with you. Yeah, that's not you. But they have wasted half of your day hanging on the phone with them. I really hate these things. And I hate the crony capitalism that is involved. That is what you always wind up with when you have public private partnerships. Well, before we take a break, a couple of comments here, thank you, Radis Bro. Thank you very much for the tip on rumble. He says, tired of the constant insults Trump and his administration constantly make against Americans calling us lazy poor. We don't work enough. No retirement, no vacation, literally treating us as cattle.

58:58When is enough enough? And I think what he's referring to here is the fact that we just had Dr. Oz out there a couple of days ago saying, we need to get people so healthy that they just work forever. Right. You know, and then you had Donald Trump put out a memo saying Americans take too many holidays. This is not France. We don't take a full month off in the month of August or whatever. Many European countries, most of people take a full month off. But we don't do that here in America. We take some of the fewest number of holidays of any developed country. But Donald Trump and Dr. Oz don't think you're working hard enough. They don't think you're working long enough. They're looking at how they can take money away from you in this Ponzi scheme. We call Social Security that you were forced to pay into all of your life. We're looking at how they can pull that back. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back folks. But unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.

1:00:04It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentlemen's supposed to. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will be something else.

1:01:16Liberty, it's your move. You're listening to the David Knight Show. When the stars make your drool, it used to like a buster. When you dance down the street with a cloud of your feet. Well, you know, Howard Lucknick may not like cattle. He may not like cows. He does like the cattle that you are, right? But not the cattle with four legs. But he had a bit of a fit over a pasta tariff. This is an interesting article from a Politico. How a panic over pasta prices prompted a Trump tariff retreat. You know, in the last couple of weeks, we've had Donald Trump and Howard Lucknick and all these people finally telling you the truth about how they were lying to you. Yeah, we understand that the tariffs are making beef expenses. As long as we remove the tariffs, we'll have a mortuary on that to take the price down.

1:02:25And here is Howard Lucknick. He did this because he was looking at a panic. He said, well, midterms are coming up. We don't want people paying so much more for basic staples like pasta. And they had made some very punitive tariffs against Italy, accusing them of being Italian. The big crime, right? Being Italian or being Canadian, we've got to do something about that. We have these people ripping us off in these foreign countries, right? Lucknick and other top commerce officials are leaning on agency staff not to drive up tariffs on grocery items and other goods ahead of the midterm election. But wait a minute. You always said somebody else is going to pay that tax. You always said the consumers are not going to see it in higher prices. And you always lie, don't you? It's the son of a gun. The interference is a vivid reminder of just how improvisational, that's a good way to put it. I always talk about Trump is already his taco is really his tariffs or arbitrary capricious.

1:03:27And without any object orders, right? So it's just an arbitrary capricious order from Trump. That's what Taco really stands for. It's good. So it could be Trump always chickens out when it comes to his statements about the Iran War. But it's improvisational, isn't it? Decisions that are driven by political considerations and by personal calculations as much as by law, not driven by law at all, or alliances or existing trade packs. He doesn't care about the treaties that he signed and bragged about. He doesn't care about the law, doesn't care about the constitution. He does have some alliances, but those are the people who pay him. Agency leaders first stepped up late last year. They determined in September that leading Italian pasta makers had been underpricing the products of this old in the US in violation of trade rules. Yeah, you can't give the cattle feed at a point that is too low.

1:04:30You got to raise the price of that feed on the cattle. That's not fair. We can't have the cattle getting low-cost feed, can we? The proposed punishment was sky high tariffs on pasta. Drew headlines at the time of the administration was trying to convince Americans that his trade agenda was not driving up prices. But we always knew that it was. Letnik is very upset that the work was making it on the news from the perspective that he was responsible for inflation because he is. And so he put out a memo saying we got to do something about this. Look, tariffs are always paid by consumers. They're not paid by foreigners. They're not paid by corporations. They're paid by you in higher prices. Corporations, as a matter of fact, do not pay taxes. You realize that? And I'm not talking about the corporations that make billions of dollars and they've got armies of accountants who utilize every jot and fiddle of the tax code to make sure they don't pay taxes.

1:05:32I'm saying that they don't pay any taxes on anything. They see that as a cost of their product. They will pass that along to you or they will not be profitable and they will not stay in business. So corporations never pay taxes, folks. The government uses corporate taxes to hide those taxes from you in the same way that they do with social security. Social security, you see a 7.6% deduction from your payroll every time. But the reality is is that there's also a matching amount that's put in by the corporation. So the real tax on your pay is really 15 over 15%. And they don't want you to see that. That's what they use. They have the corporations pay the the fight of taxes half of that because they want to hide what your real cost of social security is. People get real upset or they realize it was over 15%. And so they do the same thing when they start to tax corporations. They don't pay the income tax either. That gets passed on to you. And what they did with these tariff taxes is essentially double the corporate income tax.

1:06:36It's about the same amount of money that they get from the corporate income tax. So they doubled that cost and they did it in a way that was designed to hide it from the public. Simply management and headfakes. And so when you look at this, the thing that compounds all of this for Latinac is the fact that he knew not only did he know that they were making higher prices and he admitted that by saying, well, we got to take these tariffs off because grocery prices are getting too high on things like pasta. He also gained that he also knew that they were illegal. As a matter of fact, his corporation and there were articles that happened reporting this at the time. Some people blew the whistle and they said they were getting solicitations from his family's business, Cantor Fitzgerald saying if you want to hedge these tariffs, we'll do is we will do. By the tariffs from you for 20 to 30% of the face value. So you know, if you think that you got a bill of they gave the examples, matter of fact, in their solicitation.

1:07:42They said if you got what you think is going to be a tariff bill of $10 million while this thing is being contested, you know, the courts may throw this thing out. But we'll pay you $23 million right now and you give us that $10 million rebate if it happens. Meanwhile, this is $23 million in your pocket. That's 20 to 30%. So for 20 to 30%. He's out there. He knows that these things are raising prices and he's telling everybody exactly the opposite. He knows that these things are illegal and they're going to be overturned most likely by the sum of court and which the Supreme Court did. But in the meantime, what he tells companies is, well, you know, this probably isn't going to get overturned by the Supreme Court. So if you want to bet that it's not going to get overturned by the Supreme Court, I can reduce your losses here by 20 to 30% and use a sign over that benefit to me. Now, when the reporter started talking about this, it said, well, we didn't actually execute those contracts. People went through and calculated it and it's like, well, out of about $160 billion that's getting refunded, maybe about $100 billion would go to Cantor Fitzgerald.

1:08:48If they were able to do that and they told the people when they're soliciting them, they said, you're already signed a deal for $10 million and we've got a lot of money that we can throw this. We can throw hundreds of millions of dollars at this. And so I'll give you, you give me, I'll give you money right now and then you give me your potential refund if that thing goes through. So now they're saying they didn't do it. Do you believe Howard let me, he says he didn't do it. I don't believe Howard let me when he says that he didn't do anything to do it 9-11. I certainly don't believe him when he says he had nothing to do with this. So he knows that these things are illegal. He knows they raise a price is, but he pushes them out there and he tells people exactly the opposite. So then he became something of a micromanager once he decided that the game is up. People are seeing the high prices already and he has been exposed as the guy who's collecting and pushing this stuff and the administration as well. So became a micromanager micromanaged every decision that came out to try to water down the enforcement and the compliance.

1:09:54And so this is an article coming from Politico and they're criticizing him because he's not collecting enough taxes. And so he watered this thing down. In some cases senior officials instructed staff to recalculate rates that were deemed to be too high said two of the four people that they talked to for this article. The result has been much lower duties on violators and recent months compared to the past. They say concerns about inflation and affordability approaching the midterm elections have begun to override Trump's desire to crack down on foreign companies that cheat domestic industry. I got to ask Politico if I'm going to Italian company and wants to sell me pasta for cheap. How is that cheating me? We don't even have a major pasta industry here in the United States most likely. I don't know. But they've done this on a lot of things that we don't even produce. Right coffee we don't produce. And yet they're leaning on these people saying you're song the coffee to people too cheap.

1:10:56I don't my slaves to get spoiled with all this stuff right they need to work harder have fewer holidays and pay more for their food. That's the Trump administration approached all this stuff. But again this guy was hedging his bets he knew they were going to they knew they were going to drive prices up and he knew they were illegal. And yet the Democrats say well we got people who are cheating on this. And they're cheating us they're pulling in the same nonsense from Donald Trump. It's not cheating if you got a willing buyer and seller. It's not cheating if you can get a better deal on something. That is what's called a free market. They don't like free markets. So again does government need to protect us from pasta prices low pasta prices as a matter of fact. Not even protecting us from high pasta prices. Well again. And just played for you Howard let me and his lies about AI and water. But it doesn't stop there he was also telling people about the the tariffs and he thought they were great thing is matter of fact you know same lies that we got from Donald Trump.

1:12:03That the the tariffs we're going to be something that was going to set the economy on fire. Well I think it actually has is burning it down as matter of fact is more like a dumpster fire fire that's gone out of control which way to start more get going up up which means the economy going 3.8 last quarter estimates of 4.4% this quarter. I mean the economy is on fire because the Donald Trump's economy is one that says tariffs come on build in America. You know the president's been saying North of 15 trillion dollars coming to build in America. That's going to grow our economy more than 4. It could go our economy more than 5% I mean these are not this guy is the biggest liar of the Trump administration and it's driven by the Trump trade and tariff agenda. Yeah it's trading tariff agenda there you go. Yeah we want people to build their pasta factories here in America. Meanwhile you're going to pay double for that they actually went up to 92% tariffs on pasta. This is Trump insanity writ large folks. Yeah 9.11's lucky litnik. He and Trump and Rudy and all these people at the heart of this 9.11 cover up there. He's always doing things just like and lying about it just like you lied about his Epstein connections.

1:13:18He commerce official denied that let make it intervened in the rate decisions or that the agency had changed his practice of assigning higher duty rates to companies that don't participate in its investigations. So if they come in they say well we want to investigate your cost structure and you tell me get lost. Then they hit you with a 200% fine typically they've been doing that type of thing type of shake down for quite a while. Now why would somebody say that well first of all it's a big hassle to get audited and secondly a lot of the stuff that is there is proprietary information they don't want them to see the secret sauce shall we say for the pasta. So they say that they're doing this under the authority that they have from Congress to look at anti dumping and countervailing duties. The Commerce Secretary who has fought to keep himself at the center of the White House economic agenda has determined to not let his department's decisions feed one of the president's biggest political vulnerabilities.

1:14:20Lutnik sent to staff across meetings and private correspondence in the fall of 2025. The administration knowing a prioritized the most aggressive forms of enforcement for things like anti dumping and things like that. According to four people and then later on in a meeting in March senior commerce officials told private sector lawyers about the new approach stressing that they're no longer going to take these real aggressive forms of enforcement. So I said you know the terrorists were up at 92% actually 91.74% and then that same month the Commerce Department finalized the terrorists on the Italian pasta companies at a maximum rate of 7%. They went from 92% down to 7%. And then some of the companies like law, Molassana got a 2.5% tariff while 11 other Italian companies were hit with a 5.25% duty.

1:15:23Think about that. Not only does the arbitrarily set these levels, you know, well, Trump and his genius Peter Navarro decided they do 92% for a while of a reason. And so they come in and say no, no, no, I'll change it maximum of 7%. But for you 2.5%. These other guys are going to charge them 5 and a quarter percent. This is the kind of corruption folks of what these guys are personally profiting from this or not. They're not let that kind of power be had by one person or one agency. And then to treat these companies that are competitors with each other to treat them so unequally and to be able to do that, that just invites corruption. You know, maybe this one company that gets the lower rate, you know, maybe there's some money into the table with that I would expect so much of the information the Commerce Department compiles as part of its investigations. It's for part of this is difficult to evaluate the justification behind the tariffs. The agency proposes on any given company or changes that they make before finalizing the duty.

1:16:30So it's a secret sauce when it comes to these people. You think they do that kind of thing with Israeli companies. That's a wonder what kind of a deal the Israeli companies get on this. I know that for some agricultural products, the Israeli companies have a zero percent tariff. Well, it's been standard practice for decades of the Commerce Department to like companies that fail to comply with trade investigations for the highest possible rates, including going up to 200% as a punitive thing. But since November, you have a Latinx Commerce Department has softened its approach to non-corporative companies as we treated from the higher rates initially proposed based on available data with many of the investigations according to four people who are familiar with the issues. So again, just recap. He doesn't believe that tariffs are economic growth. Okay, that's a lie. He also does not believe that they will not raise prices. We also know that he didn't believe that they were legal and would pass the court case. He was willing to bet billions hundreds of billions of dollars according to the solicitations that his organization put out.

1:17:39They're willing to bet hundreds of billions of dollars. This is basically worse than the predictive markets that are out there. But he's willing to do that and hedge these bets on people. He knew that they were illegal. He knew that they raised prices. He knew that they did not create economic growth. And he told us lies about all of those things. But that's just the beginning folks. Let's take a look at what they're trying to do to collapse the dollar. There's an excellent article that Brian Schlauby has at healthimpact.com. And he credits the woman who put this together. It's called the Lea Files. It's a substax. She did a deep dive on the mechanism of how they are taking down the dollar and how they are setting up Trump. And of course, let the family as well to profit from this to the stablecoin industry. And we've talked about this before. I did not know what the mechanism was going to be, but I could see the handwriting on the wall. When you look at the types of things that they were doing and what they were saying, everybody thought it was such a big win.

1:18:43When Trump administration came out and said, all right, that's it. We're going to ban central bank digital currencies. No CBDC at all. Yeah, he's on our side, isn't he? Now I said, if you remember, I said, no, they're not going to have a central bank digital currency. They're going to have a crony capitalist digital currency. There will be a stable coin that will be something that's going to benefit Trump and his family and let Nick and his family because let Nick has been there associated with tether. One of the, I think it is the biggest stablecoin company that has been out there. And of course, we can see how they operated. They were his company, Cantor Fitzgerald, with my treasury bills. And there would be the basis of that stablecoin tether. So that was their association with that. So you could kind of put that together and say, well, they're going to sell this debt. And Tony and I have talked about that. Tony's not here with us today. He's traveling. But we talked about the fact that, yeah, they're basically this Ponzi scheme of treasury bills. And it is a Ponzi scheme. They're running out of greater fools.

1:19:51And so all of these different sovereign nations and big customers and big corporations are trying to catch on. This is not a good investment. And I, you know, we got a government here that's just that is exploding exponentially. And so it's getting harder and harder for them to sell their treasury bills. So what are they going to do about it? Well, they put them in stable coins and they put this thing out there. Now if they back the stable coins with treasury bills. Now they can sell those treasury bills to all the individual people. They'll all get a little bit of a treasury you created artificial demand for the treasury bills for which the demand is rapidly evaporating. So you create the stable coins that has to have the treasury bills underneath it. And now you got a way to get rid of your treasury bills and refinance your debt. And that's exactly what Scott Bessent is doing. And we'll tell you exactly the mechanism of that treasury is now a shadow Federal Reserve is the headline from zero hedge and they're right. But this is how it works out.

1:20:51This is the article from Brian Schoehavi at Health and Packed News and he references and gives credit to the sub stack Leo files. She did excellent research in terms of finding this treasury secretary Scott Bessent just restructured the American financial system to destroy. The US dollar and think about that. This is a guy and I said that when he was put in there said, oh, he's a perfect guy for a system because he destroyed the bank of England right he ripped them off. He also did that to the bank of Japan. He's got a yen for destroying entire fiat currencies. And so he's exactly the kind of guy that you want to do a pump and dump and to take down the US dollar just in time for the fourth turnings utopian. So we got this great reset this great taking that needs to happen. And we've also got their dystopian society they want to happen at 2030 or soon after they've been talking about that for a long time. Trump was brought in to accelerate this.

1:21:54And he brought in Scott Bessent to accelerate it as well. So Leo files Scott Bessent and Secretary commerce Howard Lutnik's efforts to intentionally crash the US dollar and replace it with digital stable coins. But I've been calling for a long time the CC DC chronic capitalist digital currency. Leah claims to have 20 years of experience and intelligence as a former CIA and NSA employee. She appears to have discovered the Trump administration's plan to crash the US dollar and to profit from it. And he said her research appears to be rock solid. First of all, the background of Scott Bessent. And as I said for the longest time, if you look at his background, not just the taking down of the Bank of England, but you look at his background with George Soros. Why is it that typically the alt stream media like Alex Jones, all these other people have such a big issue with anybody that has a tangential connection to George Soros. And yet here's a guy who was really kind of his manager of this Bank of England rip off. He was the head of the London branch when all that stuff happened.

1:22:59And so they don't have a problem at all with George Soros. And as a matter of fact, it's even worse than that. If you look at George Soros' connections, he's got a lot of business dealings with Jared Kushner. Okay, well, that helps explain some of this doesn't it? It's kind of like there's a, you know, there's this left right divide. We got Donald Trump over here. He's the good guy on the right. And we got George Soros. He's the bad guy on the left. It's up to turns out both of them are partners. Yeah, that's right. It takes two wings for this bird to fly, doesn't it? Well, between August 11th and August 24th of 2026. Scott Bessent executed a sequence of decisions that taken together amount to the most aggressive restructuring of the American financial system in modern history. He did this in just 13 days. And it's being buried in the news for a good reason she writes. And so she has two parts of this. The first part is about Scott Bessent. The second part is about our hero, Lucky Lootnik.

1:24:04And so when you look at the background of Scott Bessent as she does in his connections, she said, what did he do in these 13 days? Well, in August 11th, he killed the corporate transparency act. Now, this is something that I didn't know. And he ordered the Fensen beneficial ownership database to be deleted. This is a database Fensen is the financial crimes and enforcement group that is there, right? And so they got a database that they use for researching to make sure that there is nothing nefarious going on. He deleted that database. Now, why would you do that? That's like going in as a head of the FDA and deleting the VAERS database. Nothing suspicious about that is there. So three days after he deletes the financial crimes database, the president's family crypto company gets a federal bank charter. Three days after that, Bessent published rules requiring every stablecoin in America to hold its reserves and treasury bills.

1:25:10And so that was one day before the national debt crossed over the $40 trillion mark. And there's a timeline that she has out of her article that you'll see also in Brian Schluhubby's website, healthimpact.com. On August the 19th, he doubled the treasury's bond by back program. And we laughed about this. He said, yeah, he says, I'm going to pay off the long term debt with short term debt. And that's exactly what they're requiring people to buy for the stablecoins. Anyway, he doubled down the treasury bond by back program, the same mechanism he used to make three and a half billion dollars breaking Japan's currency. August 24th, he announced Operation Economic Outcast and he threatened to cut entire countries off from the dollar system. But it doesn't stop there. She said, I took seven indicators that have preceded every major currency collapse since 1992. And I checked the US against each one of these. She said, unfortunately, all seven are present.

1:26:17She said, the historical record says that that has never happened without a crisis following within the next 24 months. Well, we'll put us up around 2028 or 2029, wouldn't it? Just in time, you know, for them to take down everything and start rebuilding with their 2030 agenda. The harder thing to explain is what I found behind the numbers. A system that appears designed not just to weaken the dollar, but to profit from it. And that's why I said, you know, the Trump administration, when you look at somebody, slippery and slimy like Howard Lutnik and Donald Trump as well, when you look at these guys, you know that whatever system after the whatever they come up with, they're going to make money hand over fist if they go out and they start trying to get rid of the sovereign debt by selling off parts of national parks. And we said this from the very beginning as well. I remember the very first week, now he's just Trump come out with a stargate project saying we're going to spend half a trillion dollars.

1:27:18We're going to have artificial intelligence designed custom mRNA vaccines for you. And I said, oh, that's not a red flag. I don't know what is. And then we had another red flag. We had Scott Bessett. And we had Howard Lutnik. And we had Doug Bergham. Because Doug Bergham is head of the Department of Interior where they have the national parks and things that they claim, unconstitutionally that the government owns. And that again goes back to talk about that at length of the money ranch standoff. The government according to the Constitution is allowed to have some forts and some ports, but not to own most of the states out west. And so it is unconstitutional for them to own these assets, but they're looking at it. Thinking, yeah, we've got a couple hundred trillion dollars worth. That's not a big problem. Forty trillion dollars who cares about that. We can just cover that by giving away parts of America to other people. And of course they can tokenize that. And they can make a fortune selling these tokens. I think that's another aspect that they're going to do.

1:28:22But we're going to focus on just the dollar part of this right now. The harder thing to explain, she said, is what I found behind the numbers again. His career has been a through line, one through line of taking down one central bank after the other. He finds countries whose governments are weakening their own fiat currencies. And he bets against those fiat currencies. And he collects when they break. And sometimes maybe he helps to break them. And maybe that's what he's going to be doing here. He started out on the George Soros team as they pointed out back in the early 1990s and 92. And he had a black Wednesday where they made a billion dollars in a single day. And then it goes from there. We're going to pick this up after we take our break. We're going to take a quick break folks. And we will be right back. Stay with us. Thank you.

1:29:26The coding, the mainstream propaganda, it's the David Knight show. Okay, so he makes a billion dollars in one day of breaking the bank of England. When he breaks the Japanese bank, he made three and a half billion dollars. Now Wall Street Journal called him the man who broke the bank of Japan. Fortune magazine said he'd made a fortune spotting currency manipulation. And so he's exactly the kind of guy that you want to manipulate our currency, isn't he? He left Soros in 2015 and started his own fund. Then Trump made him Treasury Secretary.

1:30:26The man who had spent his entire career betting against vulnerable currencies was handed control of the most important one on earth. And perhaps the most vulnerable now at this point. He certainly is making it more vulnerable. And what he has done since then is crashed the Iranian real from 700,000 to 2 million reals per dollar through sanctions. Rice prices in Iran went up to six went up 60 percent. Beef went up 150 percent. And of course this war has also cost American consumers 53 billion dollars and higher gas prices already just looking at the gas prices. Not looking at the taxes that we're going to pay for all the bombs that they have wasted killing people innocent people. He used between 20 and 40 billion dollars in American taxpayer money to prop up Argentina's peso. I had a political allies mid term elections. We have to do everything for his Chavad Lubovitch Zionist buddy, obvious Malay.

1:31:30That is we come in third or fourth place to that. Then he blockaded Cuban's economy and collapsed it into half with rolling blackouts becoming a permanent way of life. It is a consistent pattern. When the target is an adversary, he destroys our currency. When the target is an ally, he props up their currency with American money. But what happens is that in both of these cases, the American public gets the bill. If we're going to help Argentina, it costs us. And it also costs us actually when we destroy another country. Seven indicators were present before the collapse. And she said when I look through she said for these indicators being present would indicate that the crisis was likely. Five would mean that it was almost certain. She said, but I found seven factors. She said on August 24th, Bessent held a press conference announced what he called the single greatest financial offensive ever marshaled against an adversary.

1:32:33He sanctioned nearly 60 corporations, individuals and vessels connected to Iran. He introduced five new categories of secondary sanctions targeting digital assets, crypto currency, even gold. And we talked about that last week. The fact that they put sanctions against gold shows the increasing respect that they have for gold because it's not crypto, but also aviation and shipping shipping. And he seized a billion dollars in Iranian crypto currency because that's easy to do. Any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the US dollar system. He said the clock just started ticking. When asked whether or not Chinese banks would be exempt, he said no one is above the reach of US sanctions. So he just threatened to cut entire nations off from the dollar. We talked about how Biden had weaponized the American dollar in response to Russian invasion of Ukraine.

1:33:37And again, it is cutting off your nose, despite your face, you take the greatest strength financially that this country had. You use it as a weapon and you destroy it. I mean, that's like it's almost like you got some hypercar, right? And you get angry with somebody and you use it as you start ramming their pickup truck with it, right? You got a $2,000 beat up pickup trucking start ramming it with your $2 million hypercar. That's what these guys are doing. You know, when they weaponize the dollar and we're all going to live with the consequences of that. So anyway, he started weaponizing it to an extent that we haven't even seen from the Biden administration's stupidity. He did this while actively weakening the dollar through buybacks. And while the debt just crossed $40 trillion. And while he just gutted the financial transparency system. And while the president's family owns the only federally chartered private digital dollar in existence.

1:34:37Think about that. I mean, they got their banking charter. And I had reported the fact that when Eric Trump was in one of these foreign countries, there might have been Abu Dhabi because there were the big ones who backed up their world liberty financial from the very beginning. When he was there, he was there with Steve Whitcoff's son, you know, no conflict of interest there at all, right? I mean, who voted for Jared Kushner and Whitcoff? Nobody. We were told that Jared Kushner wasn't going to be participating in this because he was so widely disliked. But we wind up with these guys that go there and they're making deals with these rich cheeks. And he's making pronouncements and holding an interview and I played clips from that. He said, yeah, in 10 years, there won't be any banks left. It'll all be digital banks like we are. And they're the first and only so far digital bank. So they're setting themselves up folks to be the new Roth trials, in my opinion. Countries that get cut off from the dollar system will need a way to transfer money in dollars.

1:35:41And the only private digital dollar with a federal bank charter is now USD one, which is owned by the Trumps. Bestcent is driving countries away from the dollar while the president's family owns the replacement for the dollar. You see how that works? This is folks the greatest corruption that we have seen right now. Trump, the master of bankruptcy because he's not so much practice in it. His bankrupted half dozen casinos and he's going to bankrupt this country as well. So on January the 23rd, Trump signed an executive order banning any federal agency from creating a CBDC. And Marga thought, look at that. He's on our side. They cheered. That was just a couple of that two days after he got put back into office. One of the first things he does is get rid of CBDCs. No government digital dollar ever, he said. He eliminated the only thing that could have competed with a private digital currency.

1:36:48And that's why I said from the very beginning, yeah, don't applaud him just yet. I said, when you look at the fact that you put Howard Lutton again as its commerce secretary, that is a tell that they're going to go to a stablecoin. And they're going to have a crony capital digital currency, not a central bank, digital currency. And now zero head you're saying, well, best to just put himself in as the, made the Treasury Department of the Federal Reserve. And that's one aspect of it. Two months later, his family's company World Liberty Financial launched USD1, a private stablecoin peg to the US dollar backed by Treasury bills. The Trump family receives 75% of profits. Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund controlled by this one chic, Tanun Ben Sayed owns 49%. USD1 now has $4.6 billion in circulation. In May of that first year, right, he gets in in January of the end of January, 2025, two days later, they say no CBDC, no government competition, this private thing that I'm going to do.

1:37:55And then within four months, he's got Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund routed a $2 billion investment through Binance and two USD1 specifically. That single transaction represented 75% of USD1's total market cap at the time. And so he had Eric Trump and Zach Whitcough, the sons of Trump. And of course, the Middle East envoy Whitcough, they're talking about that. And that's where he said, we're going to eliminate all banks. They don't eliminate all banks. They don't eliminate the central bank. And they will be the bank. Congress then passed the Genius Act, which requires every stablecoin issue in the US to back its tokens with Treasury bills, maturing within 93 days. The short term ones, the ones that they control the interest rates on, they don't control interest rate as much on these long term rates.

1:38:56That's why when the Treasury would cut the interest rates, you would see the long term 30-year mortgage rates go up in many cases because people look at it and say, well, I think these interest rates are going to cut, so they're going to be inflationary. So I'm going to require a higher interest rate on the 30-year note. Well, Brookings projects that the stablecoin holdings of Treasury bills could reach 2.3 trillion by 2030. And so on August, the OCC, which is run by the Trump appointee Jonathan Gould, granted role liberty financial, a conditional federal bank charter. And so now they have the only company that can issue with federal authority, the only banking company that's there. And of course, they are the going to be the buyer for these Treasury bills that are getting harder and harder for them to market because people are looking at this debt and these dysfunctional government. And so this is, again, this is all from the Lea files you'll find her on Substack and Brian Schoehlhovi's Health Impact.com.

1:39:58So then Trump banned the government from building the competition, then made the Trump family build the product. And his appointee gave them a bank charter. Congress then passed a law requiring it to buy government debt. His Treasury Secretary is weakening the real dollar to drive adoption of the digital dollar. And his Treasury Secretary is now cutting countries off from the dollar system, pushing them toward the private replacement that Trump's family owns. Think about that. Trump's $25 financial disclosure reported $1.4 billion in crypto income. More than he made from real estate. Now he's made more money in his first year of being president than he made in his previous 60 years in business. It is a criminal regime that we have in question, unbelievably corrupt. And people are catching on. Look at the polls and they ask people, do you think the Trump administration has corrupt a lot of people, the majority of us majority? I think it's around 80 percent agreed.

1:41:00So his family has taken at least $1.2 billion in cash from World Liberty Fund in 16 months. This level of conflict of interest would be a violation for every other executive branch employee said a former White House ethics lawyer, Richard Painter. But there is absolutely no enforcement mechanism for a sitting president except for impeachment folks. There is no crime that you can bring against a sitting president. I mean he could as he boasted I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and everybody see it. And my people, my wonderful people, is still vote for me. And if I get enough votes, they can't impeach me. So I get away with murder. And he's literally getting away with murder big time, isn't he? And then you have the Epstein connection. There's one more threat she said and it is the one that explains why the financial transparency infrastructure had to be destroyed. In August of 2024, a hacker group called Handala breached the personal email archive of Ahood Barak, the former Prime Minister of Israel.

1:42:03And of course we've talked about him in the last couple weeks, how many we his connection with Jeffrey Epstein and through the two of them, their connection to Toka, which is this Israeli company that has developed. Yeah, why would somebody do something like this except if they have a criminal purpose for it? We can get into we can modify existing video and we can alter it. However we want to alter it. And we can do that without leaving any forensic signs behind. So nobody knows that we did it. And we can do that to video that has been recorded and stored. We can also do it to live video that is happening. Why would you do that? I can't see any legitimate purpose for doing that. But that's what this Israeli company Toka is all about. And this has the fingerprints and the investments from Ahood Barak. And also he was working with Jeffrey Epstein and doing this very same thing. They're working together on a lot of surveillance technology companies.

1:43:04And there are financial ties between Toka and Axon and flock. The people who are putting out these surveillance cameras. And there's connections of course with a Hood Barak and Jeffrey Epstein. Barak is one of Jeffrey Epstein's closest associates visited his Manhattan townhouse dozens of times. Of course, you know, we've been told that Howard Leittnik only met with him once, right, even though the next door neighbors. And he never went to the island except that he did. We found that out later. So Barak invested in companies alongside of Epstein. That a close personal and business relationship. The emails are published by a distributed denial of secrets, a legitimate transparency organization. Journalist Jack Poulson and Harrison Berger spent months going through them and published their findings in September 2025. What they found was a direct documented financial relationship between Ahood Barak former prime minister of Israel. And Scott Bessent. So Ahood Barak is not just connected to Jeffrey Epstein, but is also connected to Scott Bessent.

1:44:10Yeah, it's a club, folks, and you ain't in it, right? You don't want to be in that club. The emails show Barak communicating with senior Soros fund executives about Bessent's currency trades. And they used code names. Yeah, because you know, nothing says that we're not up to any crimes like using code names, right? Bessent was referred to as Sterling, perhaps that's because he had broken the Bank of England. A major Yen trade would be called an Ichibon, Japanese word for number one. Then there are emails from August 2013 to December 2013, May 2014, February 2015, May 2015, documenting meetings where they fund seating discussions about $100 million to $450 million in ongoing financial coordination between Ahood Barak and Scott Bessent. The connections folks to the Israeli government are far bigger than any of us realize.

1:45:11I think we're starting to understand that it truly is Zionist occupied government, ZOG, it's also Zionist owned government. Barak's corporate structure was designed by Epstein's personal lawyer. Epstein's Southern Trust company invested 52-50% into the entity, the same entity that took consulting payments from Bessent's fund. It's the same entity that controlled where Epstein's money went. Bessent is also blocking the release of $1.5 billion worth of Epstein's suspicious activity reports. Like I said before, that fence and database that he deleted when somebody's got suspicious activity reports, it goes into that. So let's get rid of that and that gets rid of a lot of the Epstein stuff that was there. There were 4,725 flagged, wired transfers from JP Morgan and $378 million from Bank of New York's Mellon. Senator Ron Wyden introduced the Petra Bill to force their release, yet a Republican senator blocked it.

1:46:19Again, GOP guarding our pedophiles. Wyden called Bessent a willing participant and a cover-up. So in August 11th, Bessent killed the Corporate Transparency Act. He deleted the Financial Crimes database. Three days later, Trump gets his bank charter. The man with documented financial ties to Epstein's business partner is not just running the treasury. He is dismantling the infrastructure that will allow anyone to trace what is happening now. Which then takes us to where we began this program. That's Howard Lutnik. The currency killer part, Howard Lutnik. Again, if you look at Scott Bessent's career, it has all been about breaking central banks and exploiting the weakness of the Fiat currency and the massive debt that countries have. So he's exploited that, made a lot of money out of that. Howard Lutnik, on the other hand, has made a lot of money out of stablecoins.

1:47:22And buying treasury bills to put into those stablecoins at the tether. I couldn't think of it for a minute there, but anyway. Scott Bessent is using the same tools he deployed as a hedge fund manager to manipulate the bond market now. As zero hedge pointed out, he's now basically taking over the functions of the Federal Reserve. So he's doing a buyback program of $4 billion per operation. He's sitting on a $950 billion war chest. But a buyback scheme only works if there is demand for the bonds that you're selling. Somebody has been on the other side of that trade. And so that's what they got the stablecoins for. That's what they got. Lutnik, therefore. I think they were game this stuff out of you before Trump took office. I think exactly they did that. I mean Howard Lutnik was the biggest supporter of Trump. And I would imagine this whole thing is this game. I don't think Trump is smart enough to do that as he was out there saying, well, you know, you just got to change one word from dumb. And you get Democrats, one letter, I should say, because he said most people don't know that dumb actually has a B on the end of it.

1:48:29Donald Trump is telling us how smart he is. He's so smart. He can smell dumb. He's spelled dumb. But he said, so just forget about the the beat must be able to know that just change the E to a U and you got Democrats. Well, he has been a lifelong Democrat and lifelong dummy bankrupting one company on the other. Howard Lutnik on the other hand is incredibly smart, calculating criminal evil mastermind. And again, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald on a Wall Street, largest bond dealers. He is in my opinion. She says, says Leo, one of the worst of the worst of this administration. I certainly agree with that Forbes called him the most hated guy on Wall Street. He was confirmed by 40 51 to 45 on a strict party line vote. He co-chaired Trump's transition. He was the 31st largest donor in the 2024 cycle, putting in nearly $9 million into Trump's coffers. So he has been setting himself up, engineered his way into all this stuff. And he's engineering his way not only to get into the Trump regime.

1:49:35It'll be right next to the seat of power, but also engineering a way to make all this stuff happen. And you better believe he's going to make a lot of money on this as well. That's just a Trump family. It's going to be the Cantor Fitzgerald family. These people look after their own families. I talked about that when I went to Washington to cover a Trump event that was there. As a matter of fact, it turned out it was APAC, though, with their cover. It's the first time I heard of APAC. I went there to cover it in Washington. And they had this Trump was holding court at the hotel. There was a former post office place. It was a beautiful building. And he'd taken out a 99 year lease. And I said to Karen, because she went with us. And you were there with us too. Won't you try this one? Are you doing camera work or something? I don't know. He's not catching this, I guess. But anyway, I said to Karen, I said, well, this is a guy who's definitely looking at the future for his family.

1:50:37I don't know if he's looking at the future for this country, though. Well, let Nick was the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald. He's looking after his own kids. Same way that Whitcoff is looking after his and Trump is looking after his. But they want to make sure that your children are poor if they even survive. So at Tether, is their biggest client at Cantor Fitzgerald? They're joined together. As a matter of fact, he has a lot of financial ties into Tether as well. And not just their big supplier of T-bills, but Tether is the largest stablecoin in the world with $185 billion in circulation. Cantor Fitzgerald is Tether's primary custodian, holding $141 billion in US Treasury bills, backing the reserves of Tether. So Tether is one of the 20 largest holders of US government debt on Earth. They have more T-bills under their control, holding more of that debt than Germany does of the United States.

1:51:38And so the stablecoin is at the center of all of this documented ties to terrorism, financing, nuclear proliferation, and the global fentanyl trade. And of course, this is a guy who is at the epicenter of 9-1-1 as well, Howard Letnick. He had inside knowledge of that. What inside knowledge does he have? Inside knowledge of how they're going to bring down, when they're going to bring down the twin towers. He's now got inside knowledge of how they're going to bring down the US dollar. So what the big bond sell off means for your wallet. This is a story from business insider. They say higher bond yields can present a problem for stocks for a couple of reasons. It's not just the bonds. First of all, they offer a compelling alternative to equities. But the thinking is why risk to stock market when you can get a nearly risk-free rate of 5% socking your money into treasuries. So the higher borrowing costs and credit risks are also going to weigh on the stock market as well.

1:52:40So we got yet another thing that Trump and Letnick like to boast about what is happening with stock market. And yet when we look at the stock market, the price earning ratios that are there, the narrow aspect of the stock market, it's looking more and more like a Ponzi scheme built around Nvidia. And so you're going to see weaker stock market returns. What is going to be the pin that bursts this very tall and narrow bubble? Meanwhile, most of the chatter is not about this stuff. Most of the chatter about financial aspects and dollar aspects is about the outrage that Trump would put his face on a $1 coin as a living president. And that's your professional wrestling distraction right there. They played the game and said, well, it's going to be a commemorative coin so we can do whatever we want, even though they're not allowed to put a living person on there. So in the bottom line of all this stuff, folks, when you look at this, when you look at the debt, the inflation, then certainly on the stock market,

1:53:47the war that is going on, the massive inflation, price inflation that they've created with all this stuff, and these criminal machinations of criminals like Scott Besant and Howard Lutton, they couldn't you look at all that stuff. I would encourage you to get some gold, at least some gold, as an insurance hedge. Again, I don't give investment advice as the disclaimer that everybody puts out there. I just give you the news. You know what it's coming and it's coming like a freight train. It really isn't. If you want to start getting out of that, again, Tony is not with us today. He's traveling, but if you go to David Knight Gold, I'll take you to Tony Arderman and his wife's wolf place. He helped you with a large or small gold or silver transactions, and you can even set up a monthly savings program where you don't have to think about it anymore. You can get out of it at any point in time, but you can set a level that you want to buy into and then we'll send you gold and silver on regular basis.

1:54:47And of course, you get a good price with the group buying that is there as well. So you have the kind of like a buying club where you get that discount, but it's also a way to dollar cost average and to save on a regular basis. Before we run out of time, I want to cover some of these comments that are here. Steak in 420 says cities that are backing out of contracts with flock with the company. They're just signing other contracts with different companies. You're absolutely right. Many of them are going to axon many of them are going to cameras that are up in street lights where you can't get them. You may not even know that they're there. The real issue is that the prohibition needs to be not on the camera. The prohibition needs to be on the network that is designed to search you without a warrant. That's what we're talking about here. I mean, all the other things are issues. And you know, the electricity usage, the water usage, the noise, all these things, they're real issues. But the real issue is the surveillance. And we get the surveillance, the thing that is the core of that is the network that is there.

1:55:51C.J.P. Rumble says, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik invited Jeffrey Epstein to a 2015 fundraiser for Clinton, Hillary Clinton, despite saying that he and his wife had resolved in 2005 to avoid the wealthy financier. Yeah, you can't count on anything as a saying. As a matter of fact, there is some of the creepy artifacts that are in the Jeffrey Epstein thing. Frequently seen on social media, people put up that picture. There's a mask of a guy that is a doppelganger for Howard Lutnik. I wonder what that was all about. Is that kind of like the painting that he had of Bill Clinton and the dress that Monica Winske had? Yeah, there's some little tips there about what's going on out there. Well, you have Jerry Altala says Howard Lutnik was next door neighbor to Jeffrey Epstein from one of the decade. But he says he didn't inhale. Well, they were all aware of it. They said they have 500 new data centers planned for Texas. Yeah, I have it was actively recruiting those now. He's trying to step back even have it is trying to step back from that. But again, it is a head fake.

1:56:55Just like the I reported to you earlier, the fact that well, we're not going to fund these five cameras anymore with state money. So they actually are doing it with state money. They didn't say, well, we're not going to say that local governments can't violate the Constitution. We're going to let them still do that. And you know, they have taken action on things like that in the past as I pointed out, it was a state law that stopped the red light cameras in Texas. They could stop these fly cameras that they want to, but it's not again, the cameras. It is the network that is there. And you have the state government in spite of the fact that he said we're not going to give him state money. They actually are doing it. And the motor vehicle crime prevention authority. They're actually funding this stuff. So that part of it was a lie as well. It's just a head fake. I lived in Texas for a while. I've seen Greg Abbott do that with many things. He was doing that all through the pandemic. He was doing that same type of thing. I rest machine gun. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. He said I paid a hundred bucks and diesel this morning. Only got me 17 gallons.

1:57:57I'm tired of paying now and paying later. Oh, just just understand this is a temporary pain for long short term pain for long term gain. Don't worry. It's all going to be just fine. This isn't going to be a quagmire. This isn't going to have any long term effects except that the only people who believe that are people don't know anything about history. Even recent history and our own lifetime. They don't know anything about that. That is the insanity and the lies behind all of this stuff. Well, I don't have time to get into some of the 9-11 stuff. But we'll do a little bit of that tomorrow at the beginning of the program. And so I mind you that tomorrow we are going to have Richard Gage on. He's got a great presentation, which is a miniature presentation of some of the wealth of information that they're going to have at his conference that's coming up. We'll tell you about that conference. If you're not able to attend it in New York, you will be able to find it online. And I think it is similar. It is so important for people to understand if they can pull off something like that as an inside job.

1:59:00Then they can easily do something like the COVID thing, which they did do. I mean, once you see that the government lied to you about this, once you see this is a long term nefarious plan. That's exactly what we need to have in terms of if we want to get America back, you got to start with the position that America began with. And that was we do not trust men in power. As Patrick Henry said, trust no man, but bind them down with the chains of the Constitution. We're not going to demand that unless we realize how these people have betrayed the trust. Unless we realize how criminal they are. As I've said many times, we always underestimate their capability in terms of technology. We always overestimate their morality because we can't imagine anybody would actually act like that because we wouldn't. It's like a serial killer. Well, thank you for joining us and tune in tomorrow for 9-11 program. Thank you for joining us.

2:00:04The Common Man. They created Common Core, a dumb-down art children. They created Common Pasts, Track and Control Us. They're Common's Project to make sure the Commoners own nothing and the Communist future. They see the Common Man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. The most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at theDavidnightShow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
