──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:36] Philippines Declares National Emergency — Fuel Supplies Measured in Days, Not Months The Philippines has declared a national state of emergency due to war-related supply chain disruptions. Jet fuel reserves are down to 38 days, LPG to 23 days, with the IEA confirming the current disruption already exceeds the combined supply losses of both 1970s oil shocks. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:09:25] US Only Has Two Months of Rare Earths Left — Trump Cut the Supply Chain Before Securing a Domestic Source China's rare earth embargo following Trump's tariff war has left the US with approximately two months of the materials needed to manufacture precision guided weapons — the same weapons being consumed at record rates in the Iran campaign — with no domestic replacement source established. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:14:24] The Real Strategic Goal: US Control of All Major Oil Export Resources Outside Russia Analysis presented argues that the war's actual objective is to use Iran's destruction of Gulf State infrastructure as a pretext for the US to seize control of Middle Eastern oil resources — giving Washington the power to turn energy on or off for any country that resists its economic agenda. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:13] Bank of America Warns European Gas Could Jump 17-Fold — Mortgage-Sized Monthly Energy Bills Ahead Bank of America has warned that European natural gas prices could surge from 29 euros to as high as 500 euros this winter — a 17-fold increase — which would produce monthly energy bills potentially exceeding mortgage payments and trigger a full economic emergency across Europe and large parts of Asia. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:05] NASDAQ and NYSE Moving to Tokenize the Entire $126 Trillion Equity Market on Blockchain Wall Street's two largest exchanges are partnering with crypto platforms to tokenize the entire US equity market, with analysts warning this adds another layer of abstraction between investors and actual ownership — and that in a crisis, token holders would be last in line behind brokers and the Depository Trust Company. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:38] US Treasury Officially Declared the United States Insolvent — Media Missed It A Forbes headline reports that the US Treasury's own numbers amount to an official declaration of insolvency, with real debt estimated at $143 trillion rather than the reported $38–39 trillion when unfunded liabilities like Social Security are included. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Trump Reversed on FISA 702 — Now Pushing Warrantless Surveillance He Campaigned Against Trump, who called for abolishing FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance during his 2024 campaign, is now pushing to extend it — described as part of a broader pattern of paving the way for a police state, AI-driven technocracy, and permanent emergency powers under war conditions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:20:00] Trump's FDA Chief Seamlessly Moved to Pfizer Board While Simultaneously on DoD Biodefense Contractor Board Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who approved COVID interventions under Trump, transitioned directly to Pfizer's board while simultaneously sitting on the board of a DoD-subsidized biomanufacturing firm — cited as the structural model now being replicated with glyphosate immunity and AI deregulation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:23:04] Joe Kent's Resignation Torches the Bridge — FBI Investigation, Graham Calls Him a Traitor Joe Kent resigned from the National Counterterrorism Center directorship amid a firestorm, with Lindsey Graham and Laura Loomer immediately branding him an anti-Semite and traitor. The segment frames this as a loyalty litmus test revealing who in Washington serves Israeli interests over American ones. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:32:17] United Airlines CEO: Jet Fuel Has More Than Doubled — $11B Extra Annual Cost on Best Year of $5B Profit United Airlines CEO reports jet fuel costs have more than doubled in three weeks, projecting an additional $11 billion in annual fuel costs against a record best-year profit of under $5 billion — making current ticket prices structurally unsustainable and signaling imminent airline sector collapse. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:46:50] Scott Ritter: US Military Bases Across Seven Countries Are Being Evacuated — This Is a Military Collapse Former military intelligence officer Scott Ritter details the systematic evacuation of 13 US military bases across Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria, with Iran having destroyed the billion-dollar radar array that was the heart of the anti-missile defense system — calling Pentagon language about "strategic redeployment" an institutional deception. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:41:09] No Authorization, No Goals, No Plan — $200B Iran War Supplemental Sought With Zero Congressional Oversight The Iran war has entered its fourth week with no congressional authorization, no declared war, no stated strategic objectives, and no clarity from the Pentagon — while the White House is now requesting $200 billion in supplemental war funding that Republicans in both chambers have already voted not to weigh in on. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold breaks down why gold's worst week in over 40 years is a buying opportunity, not a collapse — while the U.S. Treasury quietly declared America insolvent and the mainstream media barely blinked. Arterburn traces the end of the petrodollar in real time, noting global dollar usage has cratered from 57% to the low 40s in just four years, with gold now surpassing the dollar as the world's most-held reserve asset.Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

──────────────────────────────────────── [01:02:09:25] FCC Bans Foreign Wi-Fi Routers — Real Motive Is Government Backdoor Access The FCC is banning most foreign-made routers under a national security pretext, with the argument made that the real intent is replacing foreign surveillance backdoors with domestic government ones — part of a broader pattern of banning 3D printers, open source software, and foreign drones. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:17:09:22] Trump Is the Father of Mail-In Voting Fraud — Then Cast a Mail-In Ballot Himself Trump, who championed universal mail-in voting in 2020 and is now pushing legislation to restrict it, chose to vote by mail himself in a Mar-a-Lago special election despite being eligible to vote early in person — a direct contradiction his own Save America Act campaign is built on. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:22:05:24] Three States Introduce Bills Designating mRNA Injections as Weapons of Mass Destruction Minnesota, Arizona, and Tennessee have introduced legislation classifying mRNA COVID shots as biological weapons of mass destruction. Tennessee's bill makes manufacturing or distributing them a Class B felony, with violations treated the same as possessing a weapon of mass destruction. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:39:46:10] Polymarket Accounts Making Suspicious Pre-Announcement Bets on Iran Ceasefire Following the $1.5B stock and $192M oil insider trades from the previous day, new suspicious bets are appearing on Polymarket — an offshore platform outside US jurisdiction — on Iran ceasefire outcomes, with the pattern matching advance knowledge of Trump's announcements. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:49:10:22] Former MI6 Chief: Iran Has the Upper Hand — US Underestimated the War From the Start A former MI6 senior officer states Iran is winning, having spent 20 years preparing for this attack by dispersing military assets and delegating weapons authority. He says Iran has successfully globalized the conflict and is using the energy war as leverage while the US has lost the strategic initiative. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:59:48:25] Nancy Mace to Lindsey Graham: You Have No Kids — Stop Sending Ours to Die in Iran Rep. Nancy Mace directly attacks Graham and Cruz for pushing ground troops into Iran, noting Netanyahu's son is living in Miami while American children are sent to war. Ted Cruz admitted to riding with Trump the day before the attack and personally urging him to launch it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:02:46:20] Ted Cruz Admitted He Urged the Iran Attack — Didn't Know Iran's Population or Topography During a Tucker Carlson interview, Cruz revealed he didn't know Iran's population, land area, topography, or military structure before urging Trump to launch the war. Reuters confirmed Trump approved the strikes after speaking directly with Netanyahu. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:04:12:09] Netanyahu's Calculated Bet: Drag America Into a Losing War to Reshape the Middle East Before US Dominance Ends Analysis is presented that Netanyahu may have intentionally dragged the US into a costly war knowing American global primacy is ending — extracting maximum military value from Trump before the US-Israel relationship becomes strategically worthless in a multipolar world. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:11:24:24] Iran Offers to Let Chinese-Paying Ships Through the Strait — Setting Up a Petroyuan to Replace Petrodollar Iran is allowing ships paying in Chinese yuan to transit the Strait of Hormuz, effectively using the war to establish a Chinese-backed petrocurrency system — a direct structural challenge to US dollar dominance in global energy markets. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:21:14:21] Axel Springer Buys the UK Telegraph — New Owner Declares Support for Israel as Editorial Condition Germany's largest media conglomerate Axel Springer has acquired the UK's Telegraph newspaper. The CEO's public statement explicitly declares support for Israel's right to exist and opposition to anti-Semitism as a core editorial position, raising concerns about further consolidation of pro-Israel media ownership. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:27:32:16] JP Morgan Paid $920M for Rigging Precious Metals Markets — Nobody Went to Jail JP Morgan Chase admitted wrongdoing and paid over $920 million to settle federal charges for years of precious metals futures manipulation, offered as direct precedent for understanding current gold and oil market manipulation tied to Trump's war announcements. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:55:51:10] Hegseth Declared Iran's Leadership Dead and Powerless on March 4th — They Immediately Launched a Major Strike Just days after the war began, Hegseth publicly declared Iran's senior leaders dead, its governing council destroyed, and its military unable to communicate or mount any offensive — statements immediately contradicted by a large-scale Iranian missile barrage, with a retired major general calling his conduct that of a potential war criminal. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Gerald Celente exposes a Presidential Reality Show built on market manipulation and war lies — from Trump's 48-hour Iran ultimatum that mysteriously flipped to "let's make a deal" just as $1.5 billion in short positions were placed, to Hegseth's brazen battlefield boasts that contradict events on the ground in real time. As gold took its worst weekly hit in 43 years, Celente traces the fingerprints of rigged precious metals markets straight to JP Morgan's admitted $920M fine for doing exactly that — with zero jail time.Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:00:49] Trump Announces Iran Talks — Iran Says No Talks Exist, Calls It Fake News A $1.5B stock bet and $192M oil short were placed minutes before Trump's announcement, while Iran's foreign ministry simultaneously denied any contact with Washington had occurred. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:04:14] Massive Pre-Announcement Trade on Stocks and Oil Flagged as Likely Inside Job S&P 500 futures and oil futures saw an anomalous volume surge 5–15 minutes before Trump's peace announcement, with the stock bet returning 2.5% and the oil short returning 6% — drawing direct comparisons to pre-9/11 insider trading. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:05:23] Port Arthur Refinery Explosion Preceded by Israeli Search Spike on March 17th A Valero refinery in Port Arthur, Texas exploded under disputed circumstances. Google Analytics data shows a significant search surge for "Port Arthur, Texas" originating from Israel days before the incident. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:05] Colonel McGregor: Iran Is Winning — US Repeating Vietnam-Era Spreadsheet War Strategy McGregor argues Iran spent 20 years preparing to survive a US assault and has succeeded, while US leadership repeats the failed Vietnam-era body count metric of listing sorties and bomb tonnage as proof of progress. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:06] Goldman Sachs Analyst: Trump's Iran Escalation Is the Same Scam He Ran on Tariffs A Goldman analyst maps Trump's Iran behavior — float, escalate, ultimatum, off-ramp — as identical to his North Korea, Soleimani, and China tariff playbooks, warning Iran has likely recognized the pattern and won't provide an easy concession. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:33:38] Iran Releases Specific Target List Across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait Iran published a location-specific list of refineries, power plants, and desalination complexes across Gulf States to be struck if its infrastructure is hit again. The IEA director warns the crisis already exceeds both 1970s oil shocks combined. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:48:34] Former Wall Street Journal Editor: Americans Now Trust Iran's War Reports Over Their Own President Former WSJ editor-in-chief Gerard Baker calls Trump "Baghdad Bob," saying Americans are now in the unprecedented position of finding the enemy's battlefield reporting more credible than their own commander-in-chief's. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:50:00] Trump Promoted the CIA Torturer Who Fabricated Iraq War Intelligence to CIA Director Trump appointed Gina Haspel — the CIA officer who extracted false WMD intelligence through torture and delivered it to Colin Powell for his UN presentation — revealing the Iran war is being run by the same apparatus that manufactured the Iraq war. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:05:29] Joe Kent vs. Mark Levin: Israel Dragged US Into War, FBI Now Investigating Kent for Leaking Kent argued on Levin's program that Israel's lobby deliberately moved the nuclear red line to sabotage US-Iran negotiations. The FBI has since opened a leaking investigation against Kent, widely characterized as retaliatory political targeting. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:14:34] Kent to Tucker Carlson: Israel's Goal Is to Destroy the Entire Middle East, Not Just Iran In a two-hour Carlson interview, Kent argues US and Israeli objectives have diverged — Washington seeks limited goals, but Israel aims to destabilize the entire Gulf region for territorial expansion. Kent calls for withdrawing US defensive support as the only real leverage. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:35:02] Susie Wiles Has Cancer — Stephen Miller Now Ascending as Dominant White House Influence Wiles, described as a moderating force in the Trump White House, is stepping back due to cancer. Stephen Miller is positioned to fill the power vacuum, with ICE agents already operating under a grant of absolute immunity. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:42:31] Blackburn's AI Bill: Full Section 230 Repeal, Mandatory Watermarking, Federal Internet Takeover Blackburn's 291-page bill repeals Section 230, mandates content provenance watermarking on all AI media, and expands liability across all platforms — effectively forcing open source and small developers out of existence while centralizing internet control through corporate enforcement. ────────────────────────────────────────Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

On this Friday edition of The David Knight Show, David examines the political, moral, and economic fallout of Trump’s war with Iran, arguing that the conflict has shattered the core promises of Trumpism and exposed deep fractures within MAGA itself. He looks at growing public backlash, collapsing morale, the risk of impeachment and war-crimes accountability, and why even America’s allies may want no part in joining Trump’s widening conflict.David also breaks down the strange “proof of life” spectacle surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu, including AI-generated videos and a highly suspicious press conference, while asking who is really driving Israeli policy and where this war is ultimately headed. He connects the conflict to oil, pipelines, real estate ambitions, and the looming threat of global economic depression as energy infrastructure burns and the Strait of Hormuz remains in crisis.David covers the rise of the “bully president,” the militarization of federal power, the cult of demagoguery around Trump, and the dangerous talk of boots on the ground in Iran. He also reflects on the death of population alarmist Paul Ehrlich, exposing the legacy of failed doomsday predictions, environmental fearmongering, and elite contempt for humanity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

────────────────────────────────────────00:02:08:23 — Guest Charles Goyette Joins to Analyze the Iran War NarrativeAuthor Charles Goyette joins the broadcast to examine the confusion surrounding the Iran conflict. Conflicting statements from governments and media outlets create an environment where propaganda overwhelms reliable information. ────────────────────────────────────────00:03:24:23 — Founders Designed War Powers to Prevent Executive AdventurismThe Constitution placed the authority to declare war in Congress so that leaders could not launch conflicts on personal impulse. Public debate and political accountability were intended to restrain unnecessary wars. ────────────────────────────────────────00:21:02:21 — Congress Avoids Responsibility for Authorizing WarLawmakers decline to hold a vote authorizing the conflict even as military operations continue. Political fear of electoral consequences discourages members of Congress from taking a public position. ────────────────────────────────────────00:26:57:01 — Foreign Creditors Retreat as U.S. Debt Concerns GrowMajor international lenders reduce holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds as confidence in the dollar weakens. Inflation fears and long-term fiscal instability push foreign governments to diversify reserves. ────────────────────────────────────────00:30:20:29 — Imperial Overstretch Erodes Economic StrengthEmpires often weaken when military expansion drains resources from productive economic activity. Growing defense spending accelerates the erosion of the economic base that originally created national power. ────────────────────────────────────────00:34:12:13 — Asymmetric Warfare Exposes Weakness of High-Tech MilitariesWar simulations demonstrate how decentralized forces using simple tactics can defeat technologically superior opponents. Low-cost communication methods and small mobile units undermine complex military systems. ────────────────────────────────────────00:41:07:10 — CIA-Backed Coup Installed the Shah and Shaped Iran’s HostilityThe 1953 overthrow of Iran’s elected government installed the Shah and empowered a brutal secret police apparatus. The regime’s repression contributed directly to the revolutionary backlash decades later. ────────────────────────────────────────01:05:58:17 — Guest Eric Peters Joins to Discuss War Coverage BlackoutAutomotive journalist Eric Peters joins the broadcast to discuss the information blackout surrounding the Iran war. Restricted reporting and manipulated narratives make it difficult to determine what events on the battlefield are real. ────────────────────────────────────────01:06:56:04 — Propaganda and AI Media Obscure Reality of the WarGovernment messaging, recycled footage, and AI-generated media flood social platforms while authentic reporting is suppressed. The mix of fabricated visuals and censorship makes independent verification of battlefield events nearly impossible. ────────────────────────────────────────01:07:43:02 — Fuel Price Shock Emerges as Immediate Domestic Impact of WarGasoline prices jump sharply within days of the conflict escalating, while diesel prices climb even higher. Rising diesel costs threaten to drive up transportation expenses and increase the price of food and consumer goods nationwide. ────────────────────────────────────────01:21:58:17 — Escalation Risks Nuclear Weapons Use in the Iran ConflictContinued retaliation and the failure to achieve rapid victory raise fears that nuclear weapons could eventually be considered. Regional escalation threatens to draw additional countries into the conflict. ────────────────────────────────────────01:33:08:14 — Emergency Powers Create a De Facto “Emergency Branch” of GovernmentFrequent emergency declarations allow leaders to bypass constitutional processes and govern through extraordinary authority. The pattern is described as creating an unofficial fourth branch capable of ruling by decree. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Journalist Eric Peters warns that the biggest weapon in the war with Iran may not be missiles—it’s information control. As images flood the media from Tehran while almost nothing emerges from Israel or U.S. bases, Peters argues the public is being fed a carefully managed narrative designed to manufacture support for what he calls an “evil, unnecessary war.” Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

As the drumbeat for war with Iran grows louder, author Charles Goyette (EmpireOfLies.com) joins the program to challenge the narrative coming out of Washington. With military operations expanding while Congress refuses to hold a formal vote to authorize war, the discussion raises a fundamental constitutional question: who actually decides when America goes to war?

────────────────────────────────────────00:02:10:28 — Federal Officials Accused of Halting Epstein Ranch InvestigationJames Comer says the Trump Justice Department asked New Mexico officials to stop their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch after Epstein’s death. The shutdown of the state probe raises questions about federal interference and the broader handling of Epstein-related evidence. ────────────────────────────────────────00:05:44:10 — Iran Threatens Global Trade by Choking the Strait of HormuzIran signals it could shut down or severely disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and trade flows. Targeting ports, refineries, and shipping routes could cripple global supply chains far beyond the battlefield. ────────────────────────────────────────00:09:32:12 — UN Resolution Condemns Iran While Ignoring U.S. and Israeli StrikesMore than 80 nations support a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian actions against Gulf states while omitting criticism of U.S. or Israeli military operations. The move is portrayed as evidence of geopolitical double standards in international diplomacy. ────────────────────────────────────────00:13:33:20 — Trump Claims Victory in Iran War While Continuing Military OperationsTrump declares that the United States has already “won” the war with Iran but simultaneously says U.S. forces will remain engaged to finish the mission. The conflicting messaging raises uncertainty about the war’s objectives and timeline. ────────────────────────────────────────00:15:12:06 — Pentagon Accused of Misjudging Iran’s Decentralized War StrategyIran’s “mosaic defense” doctrine—decentralized units designed to survive leadership decapitation strikes—is highlighted as a strategy U.S. planners allegedly underestimated. The discussion frames this as a major strategic blind spot in the war’s early planning. ────────────────────────────────────────00:18:51:28 — Pentagon Seeks Expanded Domestic Surveillance PowersThe Defense Department reportedly pushes to remove restrictions limiting domestic surveillance, citing supply-chain security concerns. Critics warn the move would extend military monitoring powers into domestic affairs. ────────────────────────────────────────00:20:47:02 — Pentagon Tightens Control Over Media Coverage of the WarMajor media outlets lose Pentagon access after refusing to sign agreements restricting communication with sources. The policy leaves official Defense Department photographers and selected figures as the primary sources of wartime imagery. ────────────────────────────────────────00:40:35:02 — War in the Persian Gulf Sends Gold and Oil Prices SurgingFinancial analysts warn that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are pushing oil and gold prices sharply higher. The situation is compared to the 1970s oil crisis and raises fears of global economic instability. ────────────────────────────────────────00:55:37:02 — War and Energy Shock Could Accelerate Collapse of Dollar DominanceAnalysts argue that rising oil prices, debt pressures, and central bank accumulation of gold could accelerate global de-dollarization. The conflict with Iran is framed as a catalyst for major changes in the global monetary system. ────────────────────────────────────────01:07:40:13 — Major Private Equity Firms Restrict Withdrawals Amid Liquidity StressBlackRock, Blackstone, and other firms reportedly halt outflows from certain private equity funds. The move signals potential financial stress tied to commercial real estate and tightening credit markets. ────────────────────────────────────────01:24:28:22 — Reports Claim Lindsey Graham Encouraged Netanyahu to Push Trump Toward WarAccording to reports, Senator Lindsey Graham traveled repeatedly to Israel and advised Netanyahu on persuading Trump to support military action against Iran. The claim suggests outside political lobbying contributed to escalation. ────────────────────────────────────────01:43:29:16 — Oil Supply Shock Could Trigger Global Inflation CrisisAnalysts warn that prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could drive hoarding, supply shortages, and rapidly rising energy prices. The scenario resembles historic oil embargoes that triggered worldwide inflation and economic turmoil. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Tony Arterburn warns that the war with Iran is accelerating a monetary and energy crisis that central banks and media spin can no longer contain. He breaks down how gold and oil spiked on the first shock, why market pullbacks look more like manipulation than stability, and how private credit, commercial real estate, and de-dollarization are all converging into a much bigger breakdown.

The precision of the weapon raises serious questions about whether the strike was accidental or deliberate.────────────────────────────────────────00:07:58:13 — Trump Claims Iran Could Have Used a “Tomahawk” MissileWhen questioned about the strike, Trump suggests Iran or another country may have used a Tomahawk missile. Critics challenge the explanation, noting the weapon is tightly controlled and possessed by only a few U.S. allies.────────────────────────────────────────00:11:35:00 — Civilian Casualties Raise Questions About Targeting ProceduresThe school strike is cited as evidence of rushed targeting decisions and pressure to meet military strike quotas. Critics argue such practices dramatically increase the risk of catastrophic civilian casualties.────────────────────────────────────────00:21:26:21 — Experts Identify Missile in Footage as a U.S. TomahawkWeapons analysts and multiple media outlets reportedly identify the missile captured in footage as a Tomahawk cruise missile. Experts say the weapon does not resemble any system known to exist in Iran’s arsenal.────────────────────────────────────────00:22:00:18 — Pentagon Pushes for AI Surveillance and Autonomous WeaponsDefense officials are described as pressuring AI companies to remove safeguards preventing domestic surveillance and autonomous lethal systems.
