Wed Episode #2234: From War to Withdrawal: The Crisis Unfolds

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:00:59] Trump Announces He's Leaving the Strait of Hormuz to Iran — Declaring Victory While Running Away Trump told aides a mission to forcibly reopen the Strait would exceed his four-to-six week timeline, signaling he will exit the war while Iran retains control and begins collecting tolls — leaving the global energy crisis entirely unresolved. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:02:52] France, Spain, and Italy All Blocking US Military Use of Their Territory for the Iran War Spain opposed the war on moral grounds, France blocked US military supply flights over its airspace, and Italy denied basing rights to US bombers — while Hegseth and Rubio publicly begged allies for help in a war the US chose and started. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:21:30] Trump's "Victory": Iran's Navy Was Seven Frigates and Some Speedboats Trump claimed military success by destroying Iran's navy, which consisted of seven frigates and fast speedboats. Iran's missiles remain active, having forced the US to expend interceptor stockpiles defending against ongoing strikes. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:43:58] Laura Ingraham Admits on Fox: 80% of EU's LNG Passes Through Strait — Only 2% of US Oil Does Even Fox News conceded that the US launched a war whose worst energy consequences fall almost entirely on European allies, who now receive lectures from Trump to "go get your own oil" after he shut down the waterway they depend on. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:07] Trump Promised to Eliminate the $19 Trillion Debt in Eight Years — It Has Since Doubled Ten years ago Trump told the Washington Post he would eliminate the national debt fairly quickly. He is personally responsible for 27% of the now nearly $40 trillion debt, having added more than the total debt when he first made that promise. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:59:32] Airlines in Crisis: Jet Fuel Has More Than Doubled — United Faces $11B Extra Cost on a $5B Best Year United, Delta, and American Airlines each report ~$400M in added fuel costs in March alone. SAS canceled 1,000 April flights. Analysts warn oil could hit $200 per barrel if the war extends into summer — a 40% probability scenario. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:06:03] If Trump Bombs Iran's Infrastructure on Exit, Iran Will Destroy All Gulf Oil States Iran has explicitly warned that any strike on its electricity infrastructure will trigger attacks on refineries, power plants, and desalination facilities across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait — meaning Trump's "parting shot" threats would ignite the entire Gulf energy complex. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:21:29] Chicago Bulls Cut NBA Player Within an Hour of Him Publicly Opposing Pride Month Jaden Ivey was waived within an hour of posting Christian objections to Pride Month, labeled "detrimental to the team" — while NBA players convicted of assaults, DUIs, and gun charges routinely keep their positions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:25:01] Canada Passes Bill Making Bible Quotation a Potential Hate Crime With Life Sentence Canada's House of Commons passed Bill C-9, removing religious exemptions and allowing life sentences for expressions deemed hateful — with a Liberal MP explicitly citing Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans as constituting clear hatred. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:38:20] Supreme Court Strikes Down Conversion Therapy Bans 8-1 — Law Was Targeting Christian Counselors The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's conversion therapy ban violated the First Amendment. The case was brought by a Christian counselor prohibited from discussing faith with patients who specifically sought it. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:49:27] Israel Approves Settlement Destroying 11,000 Christian Homes Near Bethlehem Israel approved the Shtema settlement requiring destruction of 11,000 predominantly Christian homes near Bethlehem and the Shepherd's Field — effectively erasing the oldest continuous Christian community in the world. ──────────────────────────────────────── [02:02:07] Kristi Noem's Husband Caught Sending Cross-Dressing Photos to Online Contacts With $25K in Payments Daily Mail published verified photos of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's husband Byron in women's clothing sent to online contacts, alongside at least $25,000 in payments — raising blackmail vulnerability concerns for the head of Homeland Security. ──────────────────────────────────────── 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.
