The David Gross Show – The Security Ponzi Scheme: How Public Safety Became a Facade [recorded early morning Sept. 10, 2025]

I originally recorded this about one hour prior to the Charlie Kirk assassination. This was before “Doomscroll Dispatch.”

Contact me if you want the demo and are interested in re-distributing my true podcast, The David Gross Show. It is me talking with my voice off the top of my head, with little notes. I will make my best effort to work with you.

Part 1: The Collapse of Public Events and Security

• The Problem with Public Gatherings:
  • Events have become a massive, corporate business that is increasingly unsafe.
  • The rising cost of security, from $75/hour for a police officer 15 years ago to potentially $300/hour now.
  • The failure of security, even with massive spending (e.g., gang shootings at high school events).
• Violence as the New Norm:
  • Fan violence in the NFL requiring undercover police.
  • Extreme, underreported riots at South American soccer games.
  • A personal anecdote of a brutal brawl at a local event.
  • Stabbings at concerts, where large groups attack a single person and disappear.
• Systemic Failures and a “Ponzi Scheme”:
  • The concept of cities as a “labyrinth” or “jungle gym” where criminals can easily hide and escape, rendering police chases ineffective.
  • The case of El Paso: A city described as a “labyrinth” for criminals, where holding public events is a “recipe for disaster.”
  • The idea that event security is a facade: a Ponzi scheme that provides a false sense of safety but collapses when a real threat emerges.
  • Suspicion that foreign adversaries use social media (like TikTok) to amplify or fake incidents to sow chaos.

Part 2: Foreign Policy, National Security, and Internal Division

• Critique of Modern Conservative Foreign Policy:
  • Rejection of the Nick Fuentes wing that bashes Israel, viewing it as a money-making contrarian position that sides with terrorists.
  • The danger of underestimating the threat to Israel, using the V2 rocket attacks on the UK in WWII as an analogy.
• Bitcoin as a National Security Threat:
  • Connecting a foreign national’s extradition issues to El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin.
  • Asserting that Bitcoin is a Chinese-linked threat, especially the “Satoshi wallet,” and that Republican support for it is a form of “treason.”
  • Comparing the demonization of crypto critics to the treatment of “anti-vaxxers.”
• The Threat of Political Islam and Questionable Alliances:
  • The push to normalize Sharia Law in the United States.
  • Deep suspicion over Saudi Arabian military personnel being trained on the THAAD missile defense system at Fort Bliss, suggesting a critical first line of defense is in foreign hands.
  • Anger over the weak messaging surrounding terrorism, particularly regarding Qatar.
• “It’s All a Game”: Theatrical and Ineffective Governance
  • Criticism of the Treasury Secretary’s focus on “stablecoins” and perceived unsuitability for addressing the nation’s birth rate crisis.
  • The use of Senator Lindsey Graham as a de facto ambassador to Israel and Ukraine, calling it an illegitimate “game.”
  • The feeling that the administration is not serious and is leading the country downhill.

Part 3: The Information War and Final Thoughts

• Fighting the Last War:
  • The argument that commentators are stuck in a past paradigm of ground troops and nation-building (the Iraq War model).
  • The belief that adversaries like Russia are using smaller, technologically advanced forces (drones, missiles) while the US is bogged down in outdated strategies.
• Media Manipulation and Viral Hoaxes:
  • The theory that the Candace Owens numerology story is not genuine but a viral marketing campaign for a TV show, similar to the Cloverfield campaign.
• Personal Political Stance:
  • A rejection of nation-building but support for decisive action using advanced technology (drones, missiles).
  • Desire for a political coalition that is patriotic and strong, but not aligned with the Fuentes ideology.
