Mon Episode #2237: $11 Billion a Week for the Iran War — No Time for Daycare or Infrastructure

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:09] Todd Blanche Claims There Are Victims But No Perpetrators in the Epstein Files Trump's new AG pick told reporters he has no idea whether any men abused Epstein's victims — after his DOJ redacted perpetrator names while exposing victim names. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana publicly mocked the logic: victims with no perpetrators. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:07:32] Bondi's DOJ Dropped 23,000 Criminal Cases to Make Room for Immigration Enforcement The Trump DOJ declined to prosecute more cases in a single month than any month since at least 2004 — nearly double the previous record — while adding 32,000 new immigration cases. 74% of immigration detainees had no criminal record whatsoever. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:11:13] Judge Napolitano: Netanyahu Has Blackmail Material on Trump — Epstein Revelations Could Destroy Him Napolitano states Trump is under Netanyahu's thumb because Israeli-linked donors can document personal misconduct and will fund primary challengers if Trump abandons Israel — making the Epstein coverup directly connected to the Iran war's continuation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:21:12] Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Arguments: Trump's Solicitor General Was Unprepared and Missed Every Lifeline Gorsuch repeatedly tried to hand the solicitor general winning arguments about Native American citizenship and the original meaning of domicile — and the government's lawyer failed to grasp any of them, likely dooming Trump's one constitutionally correct policy position. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:20] Five Countries Now Mandating Work From Home Due to Trump's Fuel Crisis — QR Fuel Rationing Proposed Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines have implemented work-from-home mandates or four-day workweeks due to the energy crisis. The IEA has proposed QR-code-based fuel rationing — described as perfectly aligned with long-term digital control agendas. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:00] War-Driven Fuel Crisis Bigger Than 1973 OPEC Embargo — Cascading Into Food, Manufacturing, Plastics Analysts describe the Iran war energy disruption as the largest in modern history, surpassing OPEC and COVID shocks combined. Effects are cascading through agriculture, fertilizer, packaging, and transport — with full secondary impacts still months away. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:06:54] Small Businesses Crushed: Diesel Costs Have Doubled as a Share of Revenue Since War Began A Tampa moving company reports fuel costs jumped from 3-5% to 6-10% of revenue in weeks. The US Postal Service added fuel surcharges for the first time in history. Amazon added a 3.5% fuel surcharge. Airlines are adding baggage fees to hide the real price increase. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:11:01] Gold Is Now the Reserve Currency — Petro-Yuan Backed by Gold Is Taking Shape in Real Time Nassim Taleb and multiple analysts now state gold has replaced the dollar as the global reserve currency. China is hoarding gold with vaults in Riyadh and Hong Kong. The petro-yuan backed by gold is described as the direct consequence of Trump's weaponization of the dollar. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:13:18] Strait of Hormuz Commercial Traffic Down 95% — US Navy Sailing 500 Miles Away to Avoid Being Sunk Commercial shipping through the Strait has fallen by 95-97%, removing 15 million barrels per day from global supply. Singapore jet fuel is at $231 per barrel. The US Navy is sailing 500-800 miles away from the Gulf in evasive patterns to avoid being targeted. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:15:58] Iran War Costs US Taxpayers Over $11 Billion Per Week — Trump Wants to Raise Defense Budget 50% The Israeli war on Iran is costing over $11 billion per week. Trump has proposed raising the military budget from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion — a 50% increase — while telling Americans he has no time to address daycare, infrastructure, or domestic needs. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:41:06] Pope Calls Out Hegseth: You Are Turning Christianity Into a God of War The Pope publicly rebuked Hegseth over the weekend for his theology of war, stating he is offering a god of war rather than the God of the New Testament. Knight notes Hegseth's favorite Psalm verse about battle is about spiritual warfare, not military conquest. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:52:29] US Lost an F-15, A-10 Warthog, Two Helicopters, and a Stratotanker in a Single Friday On Friday alone the US Air Force lost an F-15E, an A-10C Warthog, two helicopters, and had a Stratotanker hit — while Trump and Hegseth were claiming air dominance. Iran unleashed eight waves of missile attacks on Israel in a single day over the weekend. ──────────────────────────────────────── 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: @[email protected] App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
