Mon Episode #2247: EU's Digital ID Is Built on the COVID Pass — Von der Leyen Said So Herself

from The David Knight Show · host David Knight

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:10] FISA Extension Blocked — Massie: The Briefing We Never Get Is "Our Agency Has Too Much Power" A bipartisan bloc stopped Trump's 18-month FISA Section 702 extension. Massie: agencies never give a briefing admitting the program is getting worse. Knight: Trump wanted FISA for himself and the Iran war — he always knew what it was. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:10:07] Fitts: Everything This Administration Is Building a Control Grid at High Speed Fitts says from January 2025 the Trump administration has been building a control grid at high speed. The Gaza precedent: Hamas could not possibly field weapons under full US surveillance unless somebody wanted them to — same logic applies to Iran. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:24:07] Courts Struck Down Trump's Tariffs — Now He's Telling Businesses to Sue Him to Get Their Money Back When Trump's tariff legal basis collapsed, he had promised courts the money could always be returned. Now he says companies must sue. The Tax Foundation found tariffs cost the average household $1,000 in 2025. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:34:14] EU Admits Its Digital ID System Is Built on the COVID Pass Model — Von der Leyen Cited the Pandemic App as Blueprint Von der Leyen cited the EU COVID certificate app as the explicit model for the new online age verification system. Zuckerberg is pushing Apple and Google to embed digital ID at the OS level — ending anonymity at the root and killing startup competition. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:34] Trump's CDC Pick Led Nationwide COVID Vaccine Deployment — Mandated Smallpox and Anthrax Shots in the Military Trump's CDC nominee Dr. Erica Schwartz led COVID-19 vaccine deployment nationally and mandated anthrax and smallpox shots for US military personnel. Children's Health Defense called the pick a disaster. RFK Jr. praised it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:11:28] US Considering $20 Billion "Cash for Uranium" Deal With Iran — 50 Times Obama's Plane Cash Deal The US is reportedly discussing releasing $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds for Iran giving up enriched uranium. Obama paid $400 million under similar logic. Knight: we've established what Trump is — we're just haggling over the price. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:24:37] Ceasefire Collapsed Again — US Refused to Lift Its Port Blockade, Iran Responded by Closing the Strait After Iran said it would keep the Strait open for the final ceasefire days, the US refused to lift its port blockade. Iran shut the Strait again and both sides attacked ships. Knight: the blockade was intentional — designed to prevent peace. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:36:24] What Authoritarians Fear Most Is People Who Stick Up for Each Other — Knight: That Is Downstream From Faith Knight covers a Free Thought Project piece arguing resilience is solidarity in local community. Two examples: North Dakota farmers who harvested 1,000 acres for a neighbor in cardiac arrest; an 18-year-old who found $9,800 at Chick-fil-A and returned every dollar. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:46:13] Hegseth Is Demanding the DC Circuit Let Him Punish Senator Kelly for Criticizing the Pentagon Hegseth is appealing to cut Senator Mark Kelly's retirement rank and pension for saying soldiers should not follow illegal orders. A brief from 73 former admirals and generals called it unprecedented. Knight: critiquing the Pentagon is Kelly's literal job. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:54:15] Glenn Beck Defended Hegseth's Pulp Fiction Prayer — Knight: That Entirely Misses the Point of What Hegseth Is Beck argued the CSAR team had paraphrased Ezekiel and Hegseth was quoting them. Knight: that is not the point. Hegseth's theology is Scripture as license to kill people he hates. The fake verse is a symptom. The blasphemy is his whole gospel. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:59:58] Al Mohler Pushed Back Against the Trump Jesus Meme — But Knight: He Also Pushed the Vaccine on His Congregation Mohler criticized Trump's Jesus meme as blasphemous. Knight: Mohler lost credibility when he told his congregation it was their Christian duty to inject themselves. The meme is a smaller crime. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:00:17] RFK Jr. Praised Trump's Pro-Mandate CDC Pick — His Mission Was Always to Restore Trust, Not End the Poison RFK Jr. praised Dr. Schwartz and Trump's other CDC nominations. Knight: RFK Jr. said his mission was to restore trust in the institution — not to dismantle the vaccine industry. He delivered exactly what he promised. ──────────────────────────────────────── 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”For high quality made in America products go to HomeSteadProducts.shop and use promo code “Knight” for 10% off your purchasesFind 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.
