00:02:37 — Common Sense and the Crisis of Our Time
Knight marks the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, arguing the question of rule by law versus rule by kings has returned in modern form.

He applies Paine’s rejection of monarchy to modern presidential supremacy and Trump’s embrace of personal rule.

00:10:20 — The Third-Term Push and Open Lawlessness
Knight condemns talk of a Trump third term as open contempt for constitutional limits and republican government.

00:18:08 — Bureaucratic Rule Without Due Process
He explains how unelected agencies replace laws with “rules,” erasing due process and presumption of innocence.

00:24:01 — “My Own Morality” as the Only Check on Power
Knight dissects Trump’s admission that neither law nor Constitution restrains him—only his personal judgment.

00:29:27 — A Constitution Requires Moral People
He cites John Adams to argue constitutional systems collapse when leaders lack virtue, truthfulness, and restraint.

With Tony Arterburn, Knight frames soaring precious metals as evidence fiat credibility is breaking down under debt and chaos.
