It's Tuesday, the 11th of October, Year of Our Lord 2022. Day 900 and... I've lost track of the number of days. I've got it here somewhere. It's too long. It's too long.

And we've got to do something about this. And so we're going to talk today about where this is all headed. And we're going to take a look at the Newsom world order. Yeah, Gavin Newsom, he's the guy to look at. The New York Times actually did a story saying that their infrastructure bill in California was so corrupt that the French high speed rail manufacturers said, we're going to go somewhere where it's not so corrupt. We're going to go to Northern Africa. So we're going to talk about that. But I want to begin before we get into the news, before we get into the headline news, I want to begin

with a story coming out of France about the vaccine and the politicians starting to blow the whistle. Maybe this is how we're going to roll this thing back. We'll be right back. Well, I've gotten very far behind in terms of my correspondence and everything else. I want to thank the people. I was able to get by the bank and the post office and i want to thank the people who have sent checks but i don't have the list here to thank them personally i want to thank patricia for what she wrote about 10 days or so ago actually a little bit longer than that about 20 days ago i've had this on my desk for a while she said i think even more died from denying patients the medicines that would have made them well. How many died in hospitals following CDC guidelines? Put that together with the vaccine deaths and future deaths from the various side effects of the shot,

I would be surprised if they haven't eliminated a billion people when it's all said and done. And the Bible says they won't repent. And who's going to prosecute them? Well, that's why it's going to take God judging them as he does. It breaks my heart, she says, when I think of all these people that they've murdered. They would have gotten my husband, but I told his doctor not to give him remdesivir under any circumstances. Good thing I said that because they were about to give it to him.

I believe they killed our pastor and another friend of ours with that drug. There are times I'm very angry at these people who have no regard for human life. Exactly. And so, Dr. Cecil Bennett, who I've interviewed multiple times, and I'll just pass it along to you. He's kept me abreast of what he's trying to do to get in touch with Thomas Massey and with Rand Paul in Kentucky. It's where he lives. And, of course, Mitch McConnell, he's a wife bother to try to contact him. He's just too far gone. But he was able to get in touch with Massey. His office had a staff meeting with him.

And he said Massey attended the Kentucky Truth Summit. He said that he would offer amendments to his bills and committees. He also said people injured should receive compensation. He said since the FDA, CDC, Pfizer, Moderna committed fraud, that that vitiates their liability protection. I believe it does. And I think they understand that as well because if you look at what they pushed in Argentina, Brazil, and a third Latin American country that remained

nameless, Stat News, a trade publication of the pharmaceutical industry, said that Argentina and Brazil had gone public with it, saying they were literally blackmailing us, saying, unless you give us extended legal protection against negligence and fraud, and I want that protection in the form of a backup to sovereign property that is not in your country. For example, you know, embassies that you have abroad that I guess they would presumably foreclose on them and sell them. You know, Pfizer wanted that kind of stuff. Again, this is not a conspiracy theory. This was widely reported outside of the U.S. where it was spiked. The story was spiked. But they know that it's not just giving them a pass. Okay, we're going to rush you into doing this thing. We're not going to test it. If you got

it wrong, the science wrong or whatever, we're not going to hold you liable. That's one thing. That's under the PrEP Act. But if there is deliberate fraud, then I think that that doesn't apply anymore. And we should make it clear that it doesn't. We need to elect the kind of people who make it clear

that it doesn't protect them. They're not protected from fraud. He says, uh, back in 1999 to 2000, I helped a local attorney when a federal lawsuit filed by one of his VA patients. And he sent me the article about it. Uh,

Michael Pauly had sclerosis, uh, from, um, uh, HCV and the prison's medical director refused to let me treat him. That's what he specializes in. So it was a hepatitis C that he was suffering from.

And you go back to this article, Paulie's doctor, Bennett Cecil, said that without treatment, he has only a 50-50 chance of living until 2004 when he's eligible for parole, and they wanted to withhold that from him. As the attorney said, the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment if you withhold medical treatment that is necessary to save somebody's life.

That is cruel and unusual punishment. And so anyway, he's got this lawyer working with him trying to get some more information out in Kentucky. But then this was sent to me by a listener. So look at this. There's a French politician talking about the fact that the vaccine almost killed him. And then also saying,

and then I subsequently found out that a lot of these other politicians like Macron didn't even take it. I thought, well, it's all in French. And so I tried to get as much information as I could about it. It's a fairly new clip. It was an interview.

And I found a lot of French articles about it. It is a legitimate interview. This is not one of these deals where somebody, you know, put his face up there and he's talking about something completely different and they put a different subtitle there. That's not the case. I was able to find some French articles and, um, they gave the same transcript essentially. Uh, and this just happened. I got that translated with Google translate. I'll tell you, uh, what they had to say, but here is, tell you what they had to say. But here is what he has to say, and I'll read you the subtitles

as we're going through this. This is Jean LaSalle. He says, I got the Johnson vaccine that almost killed me and warped my heart. I have four surgeries since January the 3rd of this year.

And then there is the embryos per a clinic that the surgeon who trained with another one in the besides succeeded in putting me the oracles in place except to make them function. So he's talking about the heart surgery.

He says, otherwise I'd certainly be dead. She says, but why? Why did you get the vaccine? What does that mean? We're going to take the jab. He says, because I was an MP surgery he says otherwise i'd certainly be dead she says but why why did you get the vaccine what does that mean we're going to take the job he says because i was an mp and i didn't want to give the feeling that i wasn't doing my job but also i did not know that mr macron was not vaccinated i did not know that most of the members of the government were not. And I did not know as many of my fellow MPs were not either. I wanted to set an example. And I said, don't count

on me. This was the time when Mr. Macron, Boris Johnson, and all the others, and even then there was no war. In any case, the president of Russia, Putin, was going down their blonde arms. I'm not sure how to get another translation. An injection was given to encourage everyone to get vaccinated. I said, I don't do it for that. I do it because I'm kind of known that way. You will be able to see what's happening to me.

If I live, if I'm very well, you will say good. Me, it is well. But if I die or if I fall sick, you will say it is of my good. Well, I got sick and I said so during the election campaign. No one listened and they wanted to shut me up when I said that. She says, that is yourself. In any case, you have proven the serious side effects, says the interviewer. He says, yes, very serious, very serious. Yes, almost died. So yes, I didn't have COVID. She says, what is it really? It's all these vaccine campaigns to push people to vaccinate. And it has serious effects. He says, but especially vaccines. It's about control.

So there you go. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

18 plus gambling care.ie the gist of it is he says i didn't know these other politicians were not getting it i did it because i wanted to set an example. I also did it to offer myself as a test so you could see if it worked. If I survived and thrived, great. They said, almost kill me. Jean LaSalle, the vaccine almost killed me. In an interview given for the independent media NTD, Jean LaSalle returned to his vaccination. He said, I had the Johnson vaccine, which almost killed me,

which twisted my heart, he said. I've had four operations since January the 3rd, 2022. On Twitter, two camps clashed indefinitely, says this French source here. This is, again, this is a French article that I translated. The anti-vaccines have one more argument to be against vaccination against COVID-19. The pro-vaccines strongly criticize a former presidential candidate on his way of life. Alcohol and good food, according to pro-vaccines, Jean LaSalle's heart problems come from his lifestyle,

which may be too epicurean. And so then they embedded the video as well. That was sent to me by listener. So they end up, they said a credible source, defamation, a joke, intuition.

According to Jean LaSalle, Emmanuel Macron and certain ministers did not get vaccinated against COVID. He said, I did not know that Emmanuel Macron was not vaccinated. I didn't know that most other government officials weren't either. Well, they know that they've been lying to the public about. Jean LaSalle says that Emmanuel Macron did not take the vaccine. Well, how does he know, they said.

How could he have had access to this information? Is it just a guess? The words of Jean LaSalle will be controversial, and the next good journalist who will interview him will have to ask him the question, how do you know? How do you know? And they linked to the interview in full. And she should have asked him, well, how do you know that these other politicians didn't get it?

That's the obvious question that was not asked. But isn't it interesting? What we have suspected for the longest time, what we have seen with many of the CEOs that got caught, many other politicians who got caught and outed. Uh, this is not the first time this has come up. And, uh, and of course, I guess perhaps that's why you had the, uh, never ending shameless shill of Stephen Colbert having Anthony Fauci on and then surprising him

and say, well, we're going to go next door and we've got everything set up and we'll get you a booster shot. Yeah, right. Everything was set up, wasn't it? Well, let's take a look at PayPal and go through some of the headline news here before we get into Columbus Day and life, the universe, and the meaning of life. There's some crazy articles about that as well. PayPal stock was fined 6%.

That's a headline from Zero Hedge. That's a good way to put it. PayPal said, we're going to punish your speech. We're not just going to purge you and ban you, but on the way out the door, we'll steal from you. We'll rob you. For every alleged lie that you've told that we're going to, or things that you've said that we disagree with, we're going to hit you with a $2,500 fine for each of those.

And so after that happened, there was a flood of users who were canceling PayPal. The Zero Hedge says after a massive internet campaign to cancel accounts went viral in response to the company's now reversed policy that would fine users $2,500 if they were to allegedly promote misinformation or hate as subjectively determined by PayPal or Venmo. And again, both of them, you know, a lot of people are pointing out Venmo is determined by PayPal or Venmo. And again, both of them. A lot of people are pointing out Venmo is owned by PayPal, and the two of them purged me at the same time in unison back in May of 2021. The company backpedaled on the line and their user agreement, which stated that for each violation, PayPal says users are subject to repercussions. Those include what they call liquidated damages of $2,500 per violation with the money being taken directly from a person's

PayPal account. Users were directed to PayPal's user agreement, which states in part that PayPal can take a number of actions if users participate in restricted activities, such as holding their money in balance indefinitely. That's even worse than the $2,500 per violation, presumably. I mean, they don't have to pay you anything ever. They can just leave it there. And as they leave it there, you understand their business model is that they make money off of the interest while it is there. They said, you'll be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal's damages caused by your violation

of the acceptable use policy and the amount of $2,500 per violation. So I don't know how PayPal is damaged by this, unless they're looking at the fines coming from the European Union or other governments like that. But anyway, after the outrage ensued, PayPal then insulted everybody's intelligence, claiming that the $2,500 penalty, which would have definitely gone through legal review, says Zero Hedge,

went out supposedly, quote unquote, in error and included incorrect information. And so everybody's saying what I said. Well, then, if this is misinformation, maybe they should be paying everybody $2,500 that went for this. Do not pass go, pay $2,500 because we're talking about the game of Monopoly, aren't we? You're just up the ante from collecting $200 to $2,500

and paying that out. No, supposedly, it was just, how did it get in there by accident? Everybody is really mocking that. As Robbie Starbuck said, no one accidentally publishes a policy where they steal $2,500 every time they say you spread misinformation or hurt the feelings of the pronoun brigade.

They plan to do this when they know when they can get away with it. So cancel your PayPal and your Venmo accounts now, uh, because, uh, both of those are the same company and they will operate the same way as they did in with me. And I just have to say, you know, um, they're going to do whatever they can when they can get away with it. So start now finding alternatives.

They're all are alternatives. I've only had, you know, I've been kicked off of this thing for about a year and a half. And it is an inconvenience because so many websites use PayPal. But usually I find that they will also take a credit card or something like that. I've only had one incident where I couldn't actually buy what I wanted from the website because they would only take PayPal. And I let them know why I was not going to buy their product. And so I think that's the thing to do.

As Tom Fenton said, PayPal will not fine you now, but they will ban you. They will de-platform. They will censor. What they decide is misinformation. What they decide is misinformation. So again, do you want to continue to support companies like this? Who knows what they're going to come up with next? Babylon Bee has an idea. PayPal automatically pulls $2,500 in reparations from all white people's accounts.

Last week, PayPal faced backlash after including verbiage in its acceptable use policy that allowed the company to fine users $2,500 for misinformation. While the company has said that the verbiage was posted, quote, an error, unquote, and they never intended to fine users for misinformation, the online community has spotted additional fine print, allowing PayPal to levy $2,500 fees against white people for reparations. Acceptable use policy infractions include being white, for which $2,500 will automatically be withdrawn from users and redistributed to historically oppressed groups. Their PayPal accounts being raided, many people said, well, we didn't realize what we'd signed up for. But it was when they filled out and checked the Caucasian race box,

the checkbox, and then clicked, I confirm that I have read and agreed to the terms of equity service. And they didn't notice that they were opting in to be fined for reparations. Some social justice advocates have questioned whether the funds will be sent, asking whether the decision makers overseeing the distribution of funds will strictly adhere to the principles of equity and intersectionality. How can we trust PayPal? You know, are they intersectional enough? Concerns were raised that the funds are earmarked for, quote, building equitable housing for historically oppressed BLM organizers. You know, like Patrice Cullors, who's got multiple mansions,

just like Comrade Bernie does. These communists. They have million-dollar mansions all over the country. Yeah. At publishing time, the reparations had been withdrawn from the accounts of all white people, as well as people who, quote, declined to state their race or had checked the box for Asians.

but seriously um daily skeptic uh which got a lot of attention last week this is what not why everybody was deleting PayPal. But this is an opportunity. Like I said, the most important thing that came out of all this is for people to realize that we can stand up and have an effect. I mean, PayPal had put a hold. Essentially, there were so many people withdrawing money that we don't know if they deliberately put a hold on it, like they would shut a bank during a run, or what it was.

That gives them plausible deniability to say, well, it's just some kind of a technical issue or something like that. But nevertheless, they had to put a hold on because so many people were closing their accounts. And this shows us, as I said yesterday, that if we get over the fear of financial consequences, that's how they control us for the most part. And if we understand what is really going on, and if we understand that we can make a difference, we really can make a difference. And so Daily Skeptic, Toby Young, who was personally shut out, as I was as well, but he had two different organizations.

He had the Daily Skeptic News, and then he had the Free Speech Union. His personal account and both of these organizations all were banned from PayPal simultaneously. And that got the attention even of the mainstream media in the UK and of some politicians. But as all this was happening, he put up an article, how to delete your PayPal account. It's really not all that difficult to do it. He said yesterday, hashtag delete PayPal was trending on Twitter.

This is not an expression of solidarity with the Daily Skeptic, although PayPal's attempt to close our account along with that of Free Speech Union and my personal account seems to have been the beginning of the company's recent difficulties. But,

um, he said, even, even Brendan Carr, a commissioner at the FCC tweeted out, PayPal says it's misinformation policy went out in error. Let that sink in because who among us has not fat fingered a new seven page policy that would take away people's money for publishing misinformation and then release that new policy all by accident, right? That's what we're supposed to believe.

So he says, I thought it'd be useful to reprint a guide to closing your account. And so if you want to see what that looks like, that's yet another place where you can see how it looks. And he tells you, I'm not going to go into all the steps. Just read it if you're interested. He says he's got the steps for doing it online with your browser and a computer, as well as other steps on how to do it with an app. And he also has, he says, if you need further guidance, Tech Insider has produced a video guide about how to delete your PayPal

account. So there's three different ways that you can do it. You can find that at daily skeptic. I think it's dot org. Yeah, it is. And, um, but he says, here's the only thing that you have to be concerned about. You first need to withdraw any money that you have remaining in your PayPal account before you get ready to close it. Because anything that you leave in there, uh, these thieves will keep because that's what they're about.

Uh, the PayPal mafia who knew that it was such an accurate term. They were joking about it of course when they called elon musk and peter teal and all these other multi-billionaires who came out of that called them the paypal mafia called peter teal the godfather of the paypal mafia uh most of these guys went into venture capital uh but who realized that paypal is literally a mafia, right? So, internationalman.com has an article about CBDC's, SDR's, strategic drawing rights. That's what's coming from the IMF. As their fiat currency is starting to melt down, they're looking at other ways that they can cobble this system together. And so he says, and then there's also the remonetization of gold.

And so, um, Nick Gimbruno at internationalman.com says, uh, well, here's what happens next. He said the current monetary system is on its way out from the central bankers running the system. Even they can see that. And so they're attempting to reset the system. Again, it's the great reset. It's the fourth turning.

It's all these different things, as well as this system, which they have milked the fantasy as really as far as they can go. Right now, we're at that moment that happens in a Looney Tunes cartoon where the coyote realizes that he's been running on thin air. He's been running on fiat ground. He looks underneath him and there is nothing there. And that's the point at which he goes straight down into the ground. At LiveScoreBet,

we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18 plus gamblingcare.ie. So he says it's important to emphasize that nobody knows what the next international monetary system will look like. Not even the elites. But they have a plan and they're pushing really hard for that plan. Plan A is CBDCs, central bank digital currencies, and SDRDRs special drawing rights. And, uh, that is being pushed out by the IMF. And, uh, that is essentially a basket, a basket case of currencies.

They take a whole bunch of fiat currencies and put them in a basket and that somehow makes them better. You know, this is like macroeconom better. This is like macroeconomics. Macroeconomics, when you take it, I took it in college. It's one of the things that got me out of business and accounting. This is between macroeconomics and income taxes. I said, this is going to drive me insane if I stay in accounting. This is just a pack of lies and constantly evolving arbitrary rules and regulations that this would drive me nuts uh so i went into engineering but the um but when you

look at macroeconomics right uh you know now if we were to do this kind of stuff as individuals we would all go bankrupt as a household or as a business but you know if it's money that we all owe to ourselves and this is way before this is 40 50 years before the modern monetary theory now magic money tree which is it's gotten even more ridiculous and so now the as he points out they're talking about sdr as a fiat currency based on other fiat currencies, put together by the International Mafia Fund, as Gerald calls them, the IMF. They have even worse flaws than the current failing fiat system. He says, I view it as a desperate last gasp of a dying system.

And as he talks about CBDCs, he says, again, CBDCs are nothing but the same fiat currency scam with a new label on it and a lot of other problems. He says zero privacy, but that's only one of the many aspects of that that are a problem. Yeah, privacy and total surveillance is a big issue. But they're talking about actually limiting what you can, the way they're going to use that invasion of privacy is to monitor everything that you do and tell you that you will do what they, you know, you're not going to travel or have meat beyond what they allow you to have. They will give you some money, but then it'll have an expiration date on it.

They'll tell you what you can buy, when you can buy it, where you can buy it, who you can trade with, and all the rest of this stuff. So it's far worse than just invading your privacy. It's far worse than just instant collection of all taxes and things like that, that he's probably talking about when he says privacy. So he says, but it's still fundamentally based on a fiat currency. It'll just make it easier for the government to inflate the currency. And he said, and that's exactly what they're going to do

if they're successful with getting CBDC. You will wind up with hyperinflation. You'll wind up with a Chinese communist control. He says, would CBDC have saved the Zimbabwe dollar, the Venezuelan Bolivar, the Argentine peso, the Lebanese lira? No. It's not going to save the U.S. dollar or the euro either. He says they'll have to find a way to restore confidence or they're going to risk the entire monetary system disintegrating.

That would mean governments losing all of their power, which of course they prefer to avoid. And he says, as Ron Paul says, what none of the politicians will admit is that the market is more powerful than the central banks. And all the economic planners put together, although it may take time, the market always wins. And see, this is why I said that about PayPal yesterday and repeat again today, that we have more power than PayPal does.

We have more power than the Federal Reserve does. We have more power than the World Economic Forum or the UN or any of these people brought together. If we know how to use it, if we know what they're about to do, and if we're not afraid of taking them on. And usually that fear comes in the form of money. And that's why it was so important that when people saw, well, just like Trudeau, PayPal's intention is to steal from us everything. So let's get our money away from these people who are thieves. It's just that simple. Get your money out of PayPal.

Teach them a lesson. Show the system, teach a lesson to all the elites. Let PayPal be a metaphor for what we intend to do to them just by the power of our numbers and taking actions like that. We don't all have to get together and put on our body armor and get into stacks and play soldier and that kind of stuff with the Capitol building. No, we simply just refuse to comply with this stuff and start coming up with our other systems.

So he says, so here's plan B. If the CBCs don't work and the special drawing rights, the SDRs, the basket of currencies doesn't work for these guys. He goes, so here's what plan B is. Remonetization of gold. He said central banks and governments are the largest holders of gold in the world. Together they own over 1.1 billion ounces of gold out of the 6.6 billion that exist above ground.

So they own one-sixth of it. This is central banks. This enormous stash of gold acts as a fail-safe option. Governments have it in their back pocket as a plan B case. So he says if there's an emergency and they need to restore confidence, they're going to have something that is real, which is gold. That's their fallback position. What's your fallback position?

Central bankers don't want to go back to gold. They will have no choice, however, if their fiat system collapses and forces their hands. There are plenty of signs that governments are increasingly hedging their bets with gold recently. China, the world's largest producer and buyer of gold, and Russia is number two. Most of that gold finds its way into Russian and Chinese government treasuries. It says Russia has over 74 million ounces of gold. Nobody knows China's exact amount of gold. I don't know that anybody knows Russia's either.

As I pointed out before, the U.S. protects that secret far more. How much gold the U.S. has, they protect that far more than they protect the information about the quantity and location of nuclear missiles. Gold is more of a national security issue. So nobody knows China's exact amount. Beijing is notoriously opaque, but most observers believe that it's even larger than Russia's stash. And he says they're already using their gold to bypass various U.S.

financial sanctions. You see, it's the trillions of dollars that have been put in by Trump and Biden in terms of escalating the debt. And even before Trump started doing it with the COVID stuff, they were doing it with the repo market, putting in trillions of dollars there. We were looking at that fall of 2019. What are they doing they just dumped into this obscure uh to most people was to me anyway the repo market they just dumped something the size of the entire gross domestic product for a year of puerto rico then a week or so later they dumped the entire gross domestic product of switzerland one of the g20 into this and it's like what in the world is going on?

And then all the COVID stuff happens. And so that accelerated it. And now it's been accelerated again by the sanctions. Because the sanctions are bringing China and Russia together. It's underscoring the importance of gold because they can use this to evade the controls. And so in the same way that China and Russia have stockpiled gold and are now finding that it is a way for them to escape the sanctions, this, I think, is the key thing for us to understand. They are going to sanction every aspect of our lives.

They're going to sanction how much meat we can have and how much travel we can have and how much travel we can have and on and on. And so we have to have things that are outside of their system. And I think things that are going to allow us to operate on the side in a black market economy. I've had an interview with a sheriff who used to work outside the country in law enforcement. Good deal. And he talked about how it was a common thing in most third world countries. Everybody was used to, because the financial system was failing, it was corrupt. And so everybody was used to dealing outside of the

system to some degree or the other. And he says, I think that's going to be coming to the U.S. He's in law enforcement. He understands that. And because he also understands finances. Yeah, Sheriff Hathaway. And so, yeah, he said that in an interview i had with him um a little while ago uh that um you know people being able to operate you know there'll be a an official economy at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race.

And then as there is in most countries of the world, there is an unofficial economy that operates outside of that. And if they impose these kinds of restrictions and controls on us and what we can do, that is going to be essential for everybody. So you want to start preparing for that now. As a matter of fact, I think it's not just the gold, but it's also, from that standpoint, silver. Because you have silver coins that are smaller in value, and that's going to facilitate trading. And I'll just mention DavidKnight.Gold that Tony Arterburn set up for you if you want to get gold or silver, or even Bitcoin. He has that as well. Tony's going to be doing the show. Tony and Guard and all the people that Tony typically has on,

Billy Ray Valentine and Don Jeffries and all the rest of them, they're going to be doing the show beginning tomorrow. I'll be gone for about a week, going to Texas for Travis's official wedding. Well, not official, but his formal wedding. We'll just put it that way. It was official. They got married in May.

But this is going to be the one that they had planned. And so we're going to be gone for about a week. I'm happy to have friends and people who understand what is going on doing the show. They do an excellent job. And I know you're going to find the shows to be very interesting and you'll get a lot more information about david knight gold taking you to tony's business which is wise wolf dot gold so as i point out here china and russia have had an insatiable demand for gold. They've been waiting for the right moment to pull the rug out from beneath the U.S. dollar,

and that moment is now. Russia and China, using their gold, could form the foundation of a new monetary system outside of the control of the U.S. That's been their intention. The BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa even. Such moves would be the final nail in the coffin of the international monetary system based on the fiat currency, the U.S. dollar.

And he doesn't even mention in this article what's going on with Saudi Arabia. Again, the fiat currency of the U.S. dollar is the petrodollar. And we've just lost our partner there to Russia. MBS. I want to say thank you to some of the people who left tips on. Rock fan Brad Pitt, thank you very much.

He says, here to help out with some money for your gas tank. Thank you. Hopefully we can all chip in to help. Thank you very much. I appreciate that, Brian. Sergey, thank you as well. Good morning. I was supposed to fly to Houston for a gig today, but it was canceled because other musicians are sick or suck,

which is, I don't know, but I'm excited now to catch your show. First thing this morning, rather than sleep in. Well, thank you very much, Sergey.

Appreciate that. And harps. Thank you very much. Good day, David. All when did the FBI become a legislative body? And he's got an article attached that says, new rule requires firearms dealers to disclose buyer information to the government.

Well, that's the problem. You know, when did the bureaucracy become a legislative body? Well, as far as gun control, that happened under Trump. He was the one who set the precedent for doing gun control by executive order. It's been done by the ATF. It's been done by the FBI. There's not going to be any end to it, apparently, because Congress is not interested in taking that power back. Congress abdicated their power to write laws a long time ago to the bureaucracy. So yeah, it is an unfortunate situation. One more article here before we take a break. This is about gold as well. Uh, Peter Schiff talking about, uh, a gold.

He was on a Fox business with Charles Payne. Uh, he says, you're going to need gold when the fed loses this inflation fight. So a pain opened up the interview by saying, you've heard about the death of gold a million times, but what is it that people forget about gold? And Schiff says, well, what a lot of people don't realize about gold is that it's money, it's liquidity, it's everything else that loses value in relationship to gold. And in times like this, where we have inflation that's going to run out of control and central banks that are powerless to rein it in because they created it, they created economies that are powerless to rein it in because they created it. They created economies that are dependent on it.

More and more people, including central banks, are going to be returning to gold, he said. He said gold sold off based on the notion that the Federal Reserve was going to win its fight against inflation. You really think that's going to happen? Pull out those whip inflation now buttons. You still have any of those in your drawer from the 1970s when gerald ford was pushing those things around that was their strategy

we'll all wear a whip inflation now button win win you said we had a rallying goal though after the bank of england surrendered to inflation and pivoted back to lose loose money policy in order to rescue its pension system. Peter Schiff said some people might be starting to realize that the Fed isn't going to win either. That's why people talk about, well, when does the Fed pivot happen? Most people, financial writers, expect that the Fed is going to give up its fight, just like the Bank of England did. The difference between them is the timing. When do they think that the Fed is going to throw in the towel

and say, it's just gotten too painful. We're going to pull back. He said, the Bank of England was just as committed to fighting inflation as Powell, Federal Reserve Chair. But as soon as it created the beginnings of a financial crisis, they did an about face and they went right back to quantitative easing. And I predict the same thing is going to happen with the Federal Reserve. The Fed is going to go right back to more quantitative easing.

There'll be no more rate hikes. In fact, there will be rate cuts. And that's the other aspect people are looking at. When is the Fed going to go back and cut interest rates again? Because they're throttling everything down. He said, remember a year ago you had Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen saying there was no reason to worry about the national debt because interest rates were so low. Well, at that time, a one-year T-bill was one-quarter

of a percent. Now it is 4%. It's gone up 16 times. Since he said interest rates are so low, there's no need to worry about it. So now they're 16 times higher. And he said that 16-fold increase is an increase in the cost of funding the debt. And he says, remember, that debt has to keep being rolled over. So it's already a problem, and it's going to become a much bigger problem, and one of the reasons the Fed is going to chicken out in the fight against inflation

because the U.S. government would be forced to default on that debt if it actually let interest rates rise high enough to bring inflation down to 2%. Remember, that is now over 30 some odd. Who counts? I mean, is it 31 trillion? Is it 35 trillion? Who counts after you get that high? Nothing really matters.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Stay with us. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavidknightshow.com Well, before we leave coins, gold and silver, this does not have any intrinsic value, but I really like this. This is the, I'll show you a picture of it here. This is the coin that was designed by Jason Barker. i'm going to get one out to you jason we don't have this on the website yet i just thought i'd show that to you uh this is so you can see what the

size of it looks like it's about that size and it's like a challenge coin from the military comes in a plastic case i'm real excited about about that. It is really a nice-looking coin. Looks better in person. Those pictures just don't do it justice. It's much nicer looking in person. So I'm really excited about that. Really appreciate you doing that, Jason. Thank you very much.

Let's finish up with the headline news before we get into what the Newsom world order looks like. You know, he's become a pretty useful gauge for the insanity of what's going on. By the way, we're going to be joined in the third hour. Eric Peterson is going to be joining us as well. So it's going to be an interesting show today. We've got a lot to talk about. There was a U.S. tourist who went medieval on Roman statues of the Vatican after being denied seeing the Pope. Maliciously destroying municipal property while under the influence.

What was that? Cutting the heads off of parking meters, Captain. Well, knocking the heads off of statues, actually. We ain't never had more of them before. Where do you think that's going to get you? I guess you could say I wasn't thinking captain like i was just passing time captain well you got yourself some time now two years yeah i don't know how many years this guy's gonna get but uh he's an american tourist although he's originally from egypt they said

a middle-aged american tourist at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race.

And I had this on my desk here to talk about this. It's one of the largest collections of Roman portraits in that particular one. And he told people he wanted to see the Pope.

They said, well, he's busy. So he said he unleashed a medieval tantrum uh in the museum and i knocked the heads off of not parking meters but some statues there uh there were busts that he started to uh throw on the ground now we know why they call them bust it's either it's either pope or bust is what he had to say i guess uh visitors at the museum were shocked when two of the busts hit the floor. At least one person snapped an image, and the security went running after him. They actually nailed these things down. He knocked them off the nailed-down pedestal that they had.

And he's now under arrest. I don't know how many years he's going to get. He might get the same treatment as Cool Hand Luke. You better not try to escape. It'll make it even longer. We have Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas came up with a couple of good ideas, however, to keep the IRS from trying to smash our lives, which is the intention of Biden.

Senator Marshall, the first thing he introduced was preventing frivolous actions by IRS agents. That's the name of the bill. And it would allow taxpayers making less than $400,000 annually who are wrongly subjected to a failed IRS audit or legal actions to collect compensation for costs associated with the audit or legal action. I'm glad that he did this. It doesn't have any chance of passing, of course, until after the election, if the Republicans have more people that they may do something about it to stop it.

But the reality is, is that what Biden is setting up here with 87,000 new IRS agents, many of them are going to be doing audits. That is the purpose of it. They will be fishing expeditions, and they will be frivolous fishing expeditions. He says defending a frivolous audit is expensive, and the IRS should pay the bill, not innocent Americans who are wrongly targeted by an overzealous federal accountant. And then he also introduced another bill to make a point, to force the IRS to sell off about $700,000 worth of ammunition.

He said this ammo must be sold before federal law enforcement can potentially use it to threaten and to oppress citizens. So I'm glad he's doing that, but especially the frivolous lawsuit part of it, because we know that with that many agents, it is going to be one fishing expedition after the other. Whitmer, good news is I could not believe these polls were saying, but of course, you know, when you look at polls for even statewide elections, like governor or Senator, they don't do them on a frequent basis. And so we hadn't had a poll for several months really in Michigan and it showed Whitmer, uh, the wicked snow queen, uh, who, you know, locked down everything. Uh, it showed her handily winning,

uh, the last poll they had back in May. What in the world is going on? And of course, the person that was running against her was somebody that was pretty much an unknown quantity. I still don't know anything about Tudor Dixon. She was a commentator, I believe, somewhere. But anyway, she won the primary on the Republican side. And she has no political experience. She was previously a conservative commentator. And she won a five-way primary race. So, well, that's good.

Especially, she must be a conservative commentator. Because if she was somebody commenting from the perspective of Liberty, they would have such a long audit trail on her that you wouldn't need 87,000 IRS agents to shut her down. I can imagine if I ever ran for office again, it would be a target rich environment, wouldn't it? Anyway, the good news is that Tudor Nixon has now, she was down so far, she has now closed within six points of Whitmer in two different polls. That means that she's made up 30 points. She was about 36 points down as an unknown quantity. But now she's within six points of the incumbent.

And in Michigan, it is kind of a purple state when it comes to governors, they kind of alternate back and forth between Republican and Democrat, but usually the incumbent gets their two terms and then usually they switch parties. But I think, I think Whitmer used up all nine of her political lives with the lockdown. At least she should have. So when you look at what happened and how draconian she was, remember she was the first of any of these dictator governors funded by Trump.

I'll never forget that Trump gave them the money and kept the money coming no matter what they did, no matter what. One of the things that she did was she would tell people, you can't buy seeds, you know, so they had entire categories of things that open up the stores, but then they would force them to block off certain areas. So you can't go buy seeds. We're going to not let you grow food for yourself and that type of stuff because of lockdown. And so in October of 2020, after that stuff had gone on for about seven months, the Michigan Supreme Court unanimously overturned all of Whitmer's executive orders related to COVID-19. And so in response to that, the FBI engineered this supposed plot to kidnap her. That was nothing other than a red herring to distract people away from her.

And it was a gift to her to make her look like a victim. And it was the same thing, the same guy who ran that FBI scam, then went straight to Washington to run the January the 6th stuff. I mean, that's, uh, uh, I hope people in Michigan, uh, throw her out, uh, cancel your PayPal, cancel PayPal and memo and vote out Whitmer. Okay. Start making a list of the things you got to do today, especially if you're in Michigan here. New York city wants a billion dollars to, as Breitbart puts it, to help exploit Biden's migrants. New York City Mayor Eric Adams wants a billion dollars from the rest of America

to help subsidize the city's economic strategy of importing penniless immigrants to use as cheap labor in New York. Yeah. It's not just the Republicans who do that. The Democrats do that as well. So he is making his case saying it's just not fair. You know, we declared ourselves a sanctuary city, but we never really thought that they would take us up on it.

We're just too far away from the border. How'd they get up here? Well, they got sent up there. He's very angry at El Paso. They're sending us all these people. Just two weeks ago, Eric Adams was demanding only half a billion. Now he's doubled it.

And city leaders want more migrants, says Breitbart, because they help to cut wages, inflate real estate rents, and boost profits for local business leaders. So it allows the Democrat leaders to preserve their high-low economy. And that's exactly what New York is. There is no middle class. it's high and low. There is a small number of very well, very wealthy people at the top. And then everybody else in New York is very, very poor. That was the thing that really struck me when, um, in the late 1970s, when I went to New York. Karen was from that area.

And so we went up there to see her family. And that was the thing about New York City. I just couldn't believe. I think it's a good way to describe it. The high-low economy. I hadn't seen that in Tampa. In Tampa, everybody, even if they were wealthy, they appeared to just be like everybody else. They didn't really flaunt their wealth, and everybody kind just be like everybody else. Uh, they didn't really flaunt

their wealth and everybody kind of lived the same way. As I've said before, um, my dad, uh, you know, grew up in the depression. He was very poor. One of his friends who was also very poor, his, his family, uh, wound up starting a very successful grocery store chain. So my dad knew him. I mean, they were multimillionaires. Uh, we knew a guy, um, who went to our church. You would never know that, um, uh, he was wealthy. He was kind of like Sam Walton type of guy, you know, Sam Walton of a Walmart would always drive a pickup truck, that type of thing. Well, this guy was that way as well. He had a national chain of stores. We didn't know it for a long time that he was that wealthy.

He's a billionaire. And, you know, but you go to New York, and boy, it was really apparent. I mean, these people flaunted just like Trump. Trump's a good example of a high-low economy. He's not a blue-class billionaire. I mean, he is one of those guys. And so, yeah, that is exactly what it is. Biden's Department of Homeland Security says,

come and we'll give you a cell phone. It's like Obama phone. Remember that? You know, the Obama phone lady. Obama phone. I got my Obama phone. Well, not only do you get out of jail free. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

Now, this has been given to 255,000 border crossers, illegal aliens coming into the U.S. They just turn them loose and give them a phone.

The purpose of the phone is to track their whereabouts. They're not supposed to, it doesn't let them surf the internet. It doesn't want to make phone calls. It's kind of incoming phone calls. I wonder how you make sure these people keep the phone on them all the time. I wonder how that works. They don't explain how DHS manages that. Uh,

what keeps them from just chucking it in the river or something? Right. Um, the cost to taxpayers for these monitoring phones, you know, they're not attached to their ankles or anything like that. Uh, but the cost of these phones is $360,000 every day, every day. And just a year

ago, they had given these out to 26,000 border crossers. And throughout the entire year, this year, that's gone up by a factor of 10. So it went up from 26,000 to 260,000. But it's not a problem, is it? Well, you know, the reason that we do this is not because we're xenophobic. I mean, we want to keep anybody that's not like us out of the country. We want to keep people like this guy who just started randomly knifing people in Vegas. We want to keep them out of the country. But you can't even keep them in jail in California because this guy, not only was he a criminal illegal alien, but they, who's not, doesn't have his background checked at the border,

but even after they knew in California that he was criminal, he had a criminal record for things that he had done in California and California, I guess they gave him a phone or something and let him go because then he goes to Las Vegas and you've seen the story, uh, he, you know, stabbed a bunch of people, there were some show girls are out in front and, uh, he wanted to pose with them and was doing some stuff. But he started stabbing them, chasing other tourists down the road and stabbing them. I mean, the Democrats, this is chaos that they want to deliberately unleash on us. Meanwhile,

this came up. It was an exclusive on Daily Mail. And I listened to it, but I decided I wouldn't play it because it really is sad. It was an audio recording that somebody got off of, I think they got it off of Hunter's laptop. And it's just really sad to listen to it. I mean, I don't have a great deal of sympathy for Biden after the things that he's done. But you can't hear this and not have your heart go out to him as a father. He says, it's dad, you got to get some help. I know you don't know what to do.

I don't know either. And he's basically on the verge of tears when he says this. But, you know, from a political standpoint, it shows that he knew about Hunter's, uh, drug issues and all the rest of this stuff. How could he keep it, uh, hidden? I mean, Hunter wasn't trying to hide anything. He's, you know, putting pornographic pictures of himself up on the internet. And, um, so it was also after he had lied on a federal form in order to buy a gun,

which he would have if he had told the truth that he was a drug addict suffering from this stuff. He would have been ineligible to buy the gun. And that brings up so many different issues, doesn't it? Multiple standards of justice for the son of the president versus other people. The idea that all of these forms and tracking stuff that the government does doesn't really stop anybody from being able to get a gun. You don't have to be the son of the president

or the vice president in order to buy a gun illegally. Even from a gun store, you can just lie on the form. But I think in terms of looking at buy a gun illegally, even from a gun store, you can just lie on the form, right? But I think in terms of looking at the unequal justice here, it really struck me as I saw the penalty, the potential penalty for, I looked up the penalty that Hunter Biden is potentially facing. If the federal government would prosecute him for the crimes that we all know that he committed, I seriously doubt that's going to happen. If it were to happen, he would be given preferential treatment or pardons or any of the rest of this stuff but if he was just an ordinary guy and they prosecuted him and found him guilty for lying and committing a felony getting a firearm under false pretenses and

lying on that phone at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro.

Bet within 48 hours of race. Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie You'd be looking at up to 10 years in jail and $250,000 fine. Now compare that to the people who were at abortion clinics who, from what we have seen here, did not physically restrict anybody from getting access to the abortion clinics. But this corrupt

Department of Justice and the Biden administration is alleging that they did. And this FACE Act that has been put in, violation of the FACE Act, if they can find them guilty and say, well, you got in the way of somebody who is trying to murder their child, those people would not get 10 years like somebody who did what Hunter Biden did

and was convicted. They would get 10 years like somebody who did what Hunter Biden did and was convicted. They would get 11 years. And they would not get a $250,000 fine like somebody buying an illegal gun. They'd get a $350,000 fine. Just think about that. Talk about the difference. And there's pictures on this article, of course, of Hunter Biden and his meth mouth. I mean, he's addicted to meth and who knows what else. The FBI believes that it has enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with failure to declare income from his foreign business deals as well. And a failure to declare that he was a drug addict on a gun application. Agents told the New York Post that they assembled enough evidence for a criminal case months ago, and the decision to charge now lies with Merrick Garland's corrupt Department of

Justice. And I don't expect to see that Hunter Biden will be SWAT teamed like these families, you know, people, the guy, Mark Hoke, father of seven, you know, the FBI bust in with guns drawn, pointed at the kids and that type of thing. Or these other people who have been arrested, the other 11 that were out of Tennessee, ranging from the mid-20s to the early 80s in age. I don't expect to see that happen. Parents have filed a lawsuit accusing Amazon of selling suicide kits to teenagers.

This is one of the most unusual articles of the day, I think. The parents of two kids, one in Ohio, another one in West Virginia, one of them 16, the other one 17, say that Amazon assisted in the deaths of the two miners by selling them sodium nitrate, a food preservative that is fatal at high levels of purity. And I looked at that and I thought, all right, well, you know, it's a substance and people could buy the substance anywhere. You know, what is the basis of this lawsuit? They said that there is no household

use for this. It's used to, sodium nitrate is used to, in very small amounts, for things like curing bacon. You might get it in hot dogs. It's one of the reasons why people suggest that you not eat hot dogs. But in this concentrated pure form, the lawyer said it is as deadly as cyanide, and there is no household use for it. So that's one thing. But still, you know, people can buy anything, and pretty much everything is for sale on Amazon.

But here's the telltale thing, I think, that is really strange. As they bought this thing that is fatal at these levels of high purity, that is as deadly as cyanide, Amazon always suggests, along with that, would you like to have this as well? They offered a scale, and then they also offered a handbook on assisted suicide. And it's like, what? This really is a, you're going to buy something that is simply a poison that doesn't have any household use.

And when somebody orders it, you suggest a handbook on suicide. The lawyer said, this is different from them selling rope or knives or any other implements that could be used for death, because there is no household use for sodium nitrate at this level of purity, which is 99%. And as I saw that, I thought, and if you order a rope from Amazon, I have to try this. I don't know. Put it in a shopping cart and see what they do. If you order a rope from Amazon, do they suggest a handbook on suicide as well with that? I mean, that is just, and it's not just the 16, 17 year old.

This law firm first had a case earlier this year of a 27 year old and a 17 year old, two different, two other families. And they use this to commit suicide. And I imagine what happened was, and they were in Washington State, both of them. And so I imagine that when the lawyers looked at this and said, what, they were suggesting a handbook on suicide as well? That they probably started looking across the country and they seem to have been able to find something. Interestingly enough, there is an antidote to this.

They said that people should know about. It's an injection of methylene blue. Methylene meth blue? Is methylene meth? I don't know. Oh, that's right. They also, thank you for pointing that out, they also recommended an anti-vomiting drug with it as well. So they know it's poison. They know that you can commit suicide with it. And they don't tell people that you might also want to order some methylene blue. Although I don't know if they sell that. You might have to go to Heisenberg or Jesse. Maybe Hunter's got some blue meth or something. I don't know if methylene blue is blue meth.

The plaintiffs say that posts on online suicide forums discuss the use of sodium nitrate to kill oneself and that Amazon has received multiple complaints from people warning the company that customers are using the drug to commit suicide. And evidently they know that because, you know, you can, they'll suggest you may want to get some, uh, you know, uh, some, uh, vomiting, uh, uh, some stuff to make it, uh, it kind of reminds me of that one episode from the prisoner where he, uh, he has, uh, he gets a glass of something as he drains it, he looks at it and on the bottom of the glass, it says, you've just been poisoned. And, uh, I actually, you can buy that glass. Uh, people actually sell that as a, a little thing that you can keep around the house.

Um, but, uh, yeah, if they're pushing that together, that, that is really strange, but that's Amazon. And of course, Amazon has just now backed out of the delivery robots experiments that they had. They had some, not the drones, but they had some rolling robots that were going to do the last mile of delivery without having to use humans. And they've had an experimental program in three or four cities, and they've just shut that down. So if you want to commit suicide, you'll have to wait for UPS. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right and uh i want to thank billenas. Thank you very much for the tip on Rockfin.

Appreciate that. Thank you very much. While we're talking about committing suicide, let's talk about our policies with this Ukraine war, because it is absolutely suicidal. And it just keeps escalating. I guess Amazon will offer you, if you're reading news about Ukraine, they'll offer you books on suicide, I guess. Next.

Explosions again, Rakhinev, yesterday in the afternoon. You had a massive attack, a missile attack launched by Russia in response to the attack on the bridge that happened over the weekend. Explosions hit the center of the Ukrainian capital for the first time in months, as well as many other cities yesterday. Putin accused Ukraine of the terrorist attack on a critical bridge going to the Crimean Peninsula. But, of course, that's not his accusation. This is the Associated Press bragging about it. You know, the same people who about three days earlier, the Zelensky administration in Ukraine were demanding preemptive nuclear strikes against Russia.

Then they blow up this bridge and brag about it. In his first public comments since the Crimean Bridge blast, Putin blamed Ukraine, calling it a terrorist attack aimed at civilian infrastructure. And this is what we're going to be talking about here. This is the next step. All civilian infrastructure is now on the table. And, you know, we've had the pipelines blown up. We've had the bridge blown up.

And we already have leftist groups in Germany and other places who have been attacking infrastructure. We've had apparently some yesterday. We had some people are saying it was Russian hackers. We're had apparently some yesterday, we had some people are saying it was Russian hackers or taking credit for it, but we had an attack on our infrastructure, our cyber infrastructure, which is very easy to do and very disruptive. In this particular case, it was just about internet service at multiple airports across the country. And we'll get into the details of that. But in a sense, that was a warning about what they really can do.

And so Putin said its plotters, its perpetrators, and its masterminds are the Ukrainian security services. And Zelensky said, terrorism is a crime that must be punished. Terrorism at the state level is one of the most heinous international crimes calling these missile attacks now terrorism. And yet at the same time, his administration is not only admitting that they blew the bridge up,

but bragging about it. So now Biden has promised more air defense systems to Ukraine as the missile attacks were launched yesterday. They will urgently send more anti-air defense systems to help, quote, close the skies, which is what Zelensky has been demanding. Germany will also step forward and be transferring air defense systems to Ukraine as well. At least 100 strikes were carried out, with many cruise missiles launched from Russian warships in the Black Sea.

And Putin warned, he said, if attempts to carry out terrorist attacks continue, Russia's response will be severe and at the level of the threats facing it. Russia's defense ministry also affirmed that it hit, quote, all the assigned targets, which in some cases appear to have been civilian infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital. So, again, this is going to escalate. It is not going to be limited to Ukraine. They will do things that will allow them to have plausible deniability,

but I believe that these actions taken yesterday in the airports were not a coincidence. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said this is only the beginning of the response. He said the first episode is over, but there will be others. That's my personal position, he said, the Ukrainian state in its current configuration with a Nazi political regime will pose a constant, direct, and clear threat to Russia. So the goal of our future actions should be a complete dismantling of the political regime of Ukraine. And of course, we know that the goal of NATO is the removal of Putin.

So both of them are saying, you know, there is no room for compromise, in other words, right? Ukraine and NATO say that Putin's got to go. Russia says Zelensky's got to go. That's one of the reasons why they're not even talking about trying to pull this back on either side. Independent geopolitical analyst Tom Foudy said, I honestly don't know what Ukraine and their supporters were expecting when they decided to attack a bridge that Russia could not have made more clear

was a massive, massive red line. He said they're forcing Putin's hand, which he has been massively lethargic to play. So in other words, you know, even with this, you have, um,

uh, a delay of, uh, let's say it happened on Saturday morning. And so, um, you know, they waited two days to do it on a Monday,

uh, moon over Alabama says, uh, remember how many times we were told that Russia had run out of missiles. And then, uh, Russia having run out of missiles launches a massive barrage on Ukraine. He said back in March, I had warned lies do not win wars. And he says, here's an example of this. And he's got 25 articles from March up until late September, just a week or two ago.

And every one of these articles is talking about, the headline says, you know, Russia has run out of missiles. First one, March the march the second 320 missiles in a day russia targets short-range ballistic missiles at ukraine and what is the result well yeah the story tells you that they're out uh next one march 17th jerusalem post russia running short on guided missiles firing indiscriminately uh u.S. News, March 24th, Russia running out of precision munitions in Ukraine war, says a Pentagon official.

The Financial Times, April the 29th, Russia running short of precision missiles. Here it is, it's another two months later, and they're running short still. I mean, if they were short in March, how are they now starting to run out at the end of April? And of course, that continues with 25 articles, the UK Defense Journal, Moscow Times, Jerusalem Post, Daily Mail. And it goes all the way up to September the 7th in his list here.

September 7th out of missiles russia is left with a limited stock of hypersonic weapons due to microchip shortage uh eurasian times said that september the 7th so how can they be out of missiles uh they were out of missile back in so, um, he said, then there was a warning, uh, Putin saying July 7th, we haven't started yet. We haven't really seriously gotten started. So what was it? You know, were they out of missiles as soon as the thing started March the 2nd, uh, or have they not really even started? And then he said, then followed total disregard. U.S. believes Ukrainians were behind the assassination in Russia, says the New York Times. American officials say they were not aware of the plan ahead of the time.

And, you know, we know better than that. And then Ukraine nuclear power plant loses an external power link. That happened just this last week, October the 8th. The UN nuclear watchdog says that Ukraine's nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, the biggest one in Europe, has lost its last remaining external power source as a result of renewed shelling. How did that happen? I thought they were out of ammunition.

And now this nuclear power plant is relying on emergency diesel generators. Oh, wow. That could be a problem, right? I imagine they're using those emergency diesel generators to try to maybe keep spent fuel from melting down, other things like that. Ukraine unveils stamps celebrating the Kerch Bridge explosion. This is, I think, one of the most amazing things. So the bridge thing happens on Saturday.

And that same day, the telegraph shows, and see if you can pull up the picture of that. Truly is amazing. It shows a stamp that they rushed. Yeah, there you got a couple of, you know, Ukrainian people. They've got photoshopped on there a couple of explosions on the bridge and people smiling about that. I mean, we'll talk about suicidal. You want to talk about psychopaths, mentally deranged.

That's it in a nutshell. Commemorative stamp. Telegraph says timing of the post office announcement just hours after the Crimea bridge was destroyed, raises questions about the nature of the damage. And finally, Moon over Alabama says, well, here's the consequences. Two days later, the biggest barrage of strikes on Ukraine since the invasion,

according to the Wall Street Journal. Yes, pathetic psychopaths. And lies and propaganda about all this. this you know they were out of missiles uh back in march and we were told that 25 times at the very least major mainstream news media all the way up till september uh so um that's the reality you can bet that um nobody's going to tell you the truth about what is happening there. And nobody's interested in trying to walk this back. And so what is going to happen to now that civilian infrastructure is now being brought into this fight? Well, I pointed out on Saturday that as soon as this happened,

there were reports that there was sabotage in Germany that had brought the railroad network there to a halt. Now, I think that this is not connected to the Russian thing, but they've had now for several years radical leftists who have been attacking Germany's infrastructure. I think that the timing of this was not right for it to be. I think they would do something more deliberate. They would wait a couple of days and do it. That's why I think that what happened with our cybersecurity infrastructure being compromised at these

airports, I think that really was a signal from Russia. This, I don't think so. More infrastructure sabotage in Germany as they're hunting culprits who cut cables that brought the rail network to its knees. What happened was two coordinated attacks. They happened very, very far apart from each other. They were 340 miles apart, but the cables were cut simultaneously, 340 miles apart. These are cables that are used for communications and the radio system and that type of thing. So it wouldn't keep the trains from running, but they can't run these fast trains without having that kind of communication system up and running. And so as a safety precaution, they shut the entire trains down when they lost their communications. And again, these things were cut simultaneously 340 miles apart.

The impact of the sabotage on the fiber optic cables was that trains both regional and long distance were disrupted for several hours over the weekend. As DeZite notes, German General Carsten Breuer warns in the aftermath of the railway cable cutting that much infrastructure that transmits power, that transmits data, the things that really make modern life and our supply chain work. He says they are extremely vulnerable to attack. And that's not just in Germany or Europe. That's here as well. Every substation, he said, every power plant,

every pipeline can be attacked, can be a possible target. This is not about an enemy army with soldiers and tanks attacking our country, but this is pinpricks in the population that are intended to stir up uncertainty and to shake confidence in our state. And this is why this is going to be running even more so. The question is whether we're dealing with sabotage by foreign powers, they said, but the German police said they did not suspect the work of a foreign power, and again, I don't think that this was because of the timing.

Either this happened before, I don't know how the timing was, but even if it happened afterwards, it would have happened too quickly. This would have had to been planned, and the Russians didn't know that the bridge was going to be blown up to have planned this. But data infrastructure, including telephone exchanges and fiber optic cables and supply powers, power has been cut in France multiple times by the left. In 2020, 50,000 people lost Internet access in Paris after telephone and data cables were cut. It was the culmination of a weeks-long campaign of such sabotage against information infrastructure.

In 2021, a series of apparently connected attacks were directed at telephone and internet services in France. Sabotage on several nights, seeing data company work vans burned, fiber optic cables destroyed, and a communications tower destroyed. Left-wing actors took credit for it. They said this is not simply a protest against 5G in particular, but it is a broader context fight against the techno world. And same things happened again in April and so forth. The German government has been experiencing this as well. And so when we look at what happened at the airports yesterday,

as this stuff was rolling out, it was a cyber attack. It hit the websites of major U.S. airports. Luckily, the attacks did not disrupt systems that handle air traffic control, internal airline communications and coordination, or transportation security. But the attacks were first detected around 3 Eastern time.

It was first at LaGuardia, Chicago O'Hare, then Des Moines International Airport, and then L.A. International Airport, also targeted. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport had its website restored at 1030. So you see, this is really kind of a warning message. I mean, nobody, you know, these are the websites of the airports themselves. And they do it to one, two, three, four, five, five or six of them all at once on the same day. That's clearly just a message. And it's like, well, if we can take down these,

we might just do something that is more substantial and more long-lasting. In Germany, as these missiles are coming in, remember these are cruise missiles. You have the German consulate in Kiev struck and some other businesses struck there. Now, that could just be an accident. I mean, I don't know if they're all cruise missiles. But, you know, if it is a cruise missile,

as I was told by my friend, even back in the 1980s, he worked, he was in the military working with this stuff, and he said, we can pick which window of the Kremlin we want to fly a cruise missile through. So I think if they hit the German ministry, the German government building there, the consulate, I think if they hit that with a cruise missile, I think that was also a message of it being deliberate. And so with all that happening, you have the Ukrainians who, you know, widened the attacks onto civilian infrastructure with this attack on the Kerch Bridge, bragged about it, taunted people, and now they're still taunting. The Ministry of Defense, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense says, so, Ruskies, you really think you can compensate for your impotence on the battlefield with missile strikes on peaceful cities? The mouth that roared.

Do they really think that they can compensate for their impotence on the battlefield by attacking bridges and civilian infrastructure? No, these are suicidal psychopaths. They want to draw everybody into this. The Ukrainians vowed, you just don't get it get it do you your terrorist strikes only make us stronger we are coming after you after you well again it's not going to there's absolutely no indication that anybody wants to pull this back uh jordanlechtel, the dossier sub-stack, says why he thinks Zelensky's bid to create World War III will fail. Well, I hope he's right. He says none of the major parties involved in this conflict want nuclear Armageddon via World War III. I hope he's right. I'm not so sure about that, frankly. A continually unhinged Ukrainian President Zelensky

has spent the past year trying to draw NATO powers into direct conflict with Russia, and he has yet to achieve success despite many attempts to do so. On Thursday, Zelensky ramped up the rhetoric even further, calling on NATO forces to bomb Russia and to try to eliminate their nuclear arsenal. They call for preemptive nuclear strikes. And of course, nobody wanted to talk about that. And honestly, I think that what they are talking about is what Biden said in terms of an apocalypse. They pivoted it to make it sound like Biden was responding and maybe upping the rhetoric a little bit in response to Putin,

but they completely ignored what Zelensky said. And I think the reason that they wanted to do that was because if they didn't do that, I think maybe even some of these diehard Ukraine supporters who are putting the flag all over their social media and everything, I think that start to pull back to that. What? This guy just called for what? A preemptive nuclear strike against Russia? Zelensky, an actor by trade, doesn't seem to care about details.

He just wants NATO and U.S. forces on the ground in Ukraine, and he's willing to accept World War III to make that happen. Well, you know, he wants to be in the club, and they've made it very clear. Again, three years ago, Restovich, who's there with him, saying after five years of war in Donbass, the reporter says, well, what's the chances of peace? He says, zero. As a matter of fact, he said in 2022,

we're going to go to war with Russia. And she said, that's horrible. And he goes, yeah, the entire country is going to be destroyed. But he goes, that's the cool thing about it is we're going to get into NATO. They get to get in the club over your dead body. They get into the NATO club. They get into the Davos club.

They get into all the rest of this stuff. And they don't really care what happens to the rest of even their people. Just as we saw throughout the lockdown COVID, they don't care what happens to their own people. Last week, Zelensky even signed a NATO application. So you'd be the last person that you would ever want to have in NATO. And yet immediately you had nine countries, Poland and some former Soviet satellite states that immediately jumped in and

said, yeah, yeah, let's let them in. Let's let this suicidal maniac actor in. In the past several months, NATO has shown that they are only content to pursue the arming and the funding of Ukraine from the sidelines of the war. He said leaders of Western powers don't actually believe all this hysterical nonsense you read in the press about Putin being some kind of Hitler who wants to conquer all of Europe. He said the Russians don't want World War III either.

Their overt goal, as articulated by the Kremlin, is to eliminate the threats to their territorial integrity. Their more unspoken goal, as proven by Russia's political and military actions, is to secure territory that is both strategically valuable and populated by citizens who welcome or are at least indifferent to the idea of switching sovereigns. He says Zelensky has miscalculated badly because none of the internationalist players involved in propping up Kiev actually care about Ukraine. If they truly did care about Ukraine, they would seek a cessation to the hostilities. Instead, the direct opposite is happening,

and Ukraine has become the new gold mine for the military industrial cartel. Now, here's why I differ from him on that. Certainly nobody cares about the Ukrainian people. And that was said three years ago. And as this has become a new gold mine for the military industrial cartel, Zelensky and these other people and his captain are making out like bandits.

They truly are bandits. And so with all this money flowing in, the vast majority of it disappearing, and we've had this mentioned in the past, somebody who was supporting Ukraine, who was arming Ukraine, since all this began eight years ago. And he said, yeah, you know, we only can account for about a third of all the money and weapons that come in here. I don't know what happens to the rest of it.

Well, I think we all know what happens to the rest of it. So they're more than happy to do that. International players are more than happy to just keep, you know, selling all this stuff to the American government. Whatever happens, you know, whether this is sold into black markets or regardless of how many people die.

And so I think it's going to continue to go on, but I also believe that they're biding time and they're ramping this up. I hope he's right. I hope that this is just a sham for the military-industrial complex. Zelensky has completely botched realpolitik, he says, instead of harnessing Ukraine's power as a neutral buffer state. His government went all in for becoming subservient to one coalition while antagonizing its more powerful neighbor.

This has had devastating consequences for the Ukrainian people. While Ukraine's political class, headed by Zelensky, is happy to enrich themselves by consuming small drops from the proxy war spigot, I think they're getting more than small drops, the Ukrainian nation is being torn apart by war, and its people remain impoverished. This is a pattern that we see everywhere. We've had Admiral Mullen, who was chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under both Bush and Obama. He went on one of the talk shows on Sunday, one of the political talk shows on Sunday, just to tell Biden to pull back on some of this threatening rhetoric.

Mullen said he thinks that Washington needs to quickly back off such maximalist language such as Armageddon, particularly when nuclear war is being talked about. But again, I think that that was something that they were deliberately doing to distract attention from Zelensky's statement. Admiral Mullen said, I think we need to back off that a little bit and do everything we possibly can to try to get to the table to resolve this thing.

He said, while being asked about Biden's assertion that quote, we've not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the world and the Cuban missile crisis, Mullen said, well, he was asked, how do you see Putin saving face if he doesn't come to the table? And he said, well, the Admiral said, diplomacy and international pressure on both Ukraine and Russia

would ultimately be key. It's got to end, and usually there are negotiations associated with that. The sooner the better, as far as I'm concerned. He says Putin is pretty well cornered and boxed in. And he said the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons could cause problems for Russia's president at home. He said the winds all blow back onto Russia. So he would have to, in a way, contaminate his own country. But then he says this. He says, forecasting a possible strike, Mullen said Putin could pick a symbolic target.

He could pick Ukraine's, pick Zelensky's hometown, for instance. So it doesn't sound like he's too convinced that it's not going to happen. So now you're seeing even Reason Magazine talking about how you can survive a nuclear exchange. This is how crazy it's getting. The other thing I thought was kind of crazy was the fact that Reason Magazine, in terms of telling people, this is what you should do, precautions that you

should take and how, you know, get to a low spot and all that kind of stuff, you know. Yeah, right. They were referencing one government publication after the other. This is Reason magazine. Since when do they believe anything that the government says? And they're going back to a 1979 PDF about how to survive this. You know, we've had these types of things done before by governments. I remember there was a movie called When the Wind Blows.

It was a cartoon animation that was done in the UK. And it was about this gullible, middle-aged, middleclass family uh that just believes everything the government is telling them and in this cartoon they faithfully follow all the recommendations from the government publications and you watch them slowly die uh very depressing uh cartoon but that was the point that they were making uh so um as uh reason says um it's not to deny that there's dangers inherent in even a limited nuclear exchange but you know you can you can make it through you know so they quote uh fema they quote oakridge labs and all this other kind of stuff they said that the great majority of truckers were so fearful of receiving even non-incapacitating radiation doses that they would refuse to transport food.

Additional millions would die from starvation alone. Yeah, you wouldn't die from nuclear winter. Nuclear winter is to take away next year's food. You just won't be able to get this year's food. Same as when our fearless leader, Trump, locked down everything and people were destroying food on the farm. So then they, after referencing FEMA and after referencing Oak Ridge, they reference Homeland Security's ready.gov. I mean, this is really kind of comical in a dark sort of way.

They said, the last few years have taught us that the world and people wielding political power have plenty of curveballs to throw. That's right. A nuclear winner might be a combination curveball and spitball from these people. You never know what they're going to do. And that includes even our savior Trump, doesn't it? We'll be right back. decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show.

Let's talk about the Newsom world order. Yes, the man who would be king, because now our presidents are kings, right? Dictators. And this is coming from the New York Times. They say a French rail company quit california for less dysfunctional north africa they say as the nation embarks on a historic one trillion dollar infrastructure building and we just talked about how the infrastructure is vulnerable and we'll probably we need to save that trillion dollars don't don't spend it right now on a bunch of EV charging stations.

We may need it actually billed back after everything has been destroyed here. Anyway, the tortured effort to build the country's first high-speed rail system is a case study in how ambitious public works projects can become perilously encumbered by political compromise, unrealistic cost estimates, flawed engineering, and a determination to persist on projects that have become, like the crippled financial institutions of 2008, too big to fail. The state was warned repeatedly, state of California, that its plans were too complex. SNCF, the French National Railroad, was among bullet train operators from Europe and Japan that came to California in the early 2000s with hopes of getting a contract to help develop

the system, which would be the first of these in the United States. There are so many things that went wrong, said a guy who worked for the United States. There are so many things that went wrong. So the guy who worked for the French company, SNCF was very angry. They told the state that they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional. They went to Morocco and helped them to build a rail system there. California,

far more dysfunctional than Morocco. Morocco's got their rail system. California doesn't. They've just sunk all this money in. And it isn't just incompetence. It's total corruption. As you look at this story, upon taking office in 2019, Newsom canceled the high-speed rail project because it was so expensive and still no sign that it was going to work.

Trump then tried to have that billion dollars that federal taxpayers had already paid in the project returned to the national government. It didn't get it back. Instead, what he did is he gave tens of billions to Newsom during the lockdown stuff. But then Biden came in and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and they restored the funding. This is why the New York Times is talking about this now. Hoping to build a high-speed rail link between sparsely populated rural areas

in the Central Valley that are often traversed by cars. Again, there's been so much political fighting and competition that this was something that was supposed to connect LA to San Francisco. But you had these politicians getting in and trying to divert it to their community, making a dog leg over here, which is going to completely destroy the whole purpose of this thing. The whole purpose is to go that 340 miles in under three hours, like two hours and 40 minutes. And by making all these detours to the pet areas of these other politicians,

that started to destroy it. Now they've finally gotten to the agreement that, all right, all right, we've got so much competition between the corrupt politicians in these urban areas that we'll just start it out. Let's see if we can just get it built in the rural areas. But the rural areas don't need it. They're going to be running empty trains from the rural areas.

So they said the design for the nation's most ambitious infrastructure project ever was never based on the easiest or the most direct route. Instead, the train's path out of L.A. was diverted across the second mountain range to the rapidly growing suburbs of the Mojave Desert, a route whose most salient advantage appeared to be that it ran through the district of a powerful L.A. county supervisor. That's all it's been about. So 14 years later, construction is now beginning on part

of a 171 mile starter line, connecting a few cities in the middle of California. They don't even expect that part of it to be done until 2030. That's the goal. But nobody believes it's going to happen even by 2030. So 14 years, they say another eight years, we might have an unnecessary part of it done. So anyway, they said, unless real authority managers can improve cost controls

and find significant new sources of funds. Well, get on the phone. Call Bootygate. Do a booty call. You'll be fine. I was totally naive when I took the job, said one guy, former Wall Street investment banker, first chairman of the real authority 20 years ago. He said, I spent my time and I didn't succeed. I realized the system didn't

work. I just wasn't smart enough. I don't know how they can build it now. Look, even the Simpsons used to, with their left-wing approach, they used to mock all of these people in every city who wanted to set up some kind of a rail system. I want a monorail in my city, you know, because it's a monument to their ego. And because they want to control everything. And that means also controlling population. As I've said before, before the Soviet Union fell in 1989, they had a local county commissioner, a hardcore leftist Marxist, who, like de Blasio and Bernie Sanders and all these other leftists,

they just loved the Soviet Union, even as it was rotten to the core and about to collapse. And so she, like they had in the past, she went there before it collapsed, didn't know it was going to collapse. And she came back at a city council meeting that I was at. And she said, we need to have a rail system like Moscow in Raleigh, where they roll the streets up at 8 o'clock. And she said, because in Moscow, you can go anywhere in the city for a nickel. I said, no, that's not the cost. It cost them everything to have a government like that.

And we were talking about 341 miles, which was the original goal of this thing, to go from L.A. to San Francisco, approximately. So why don't they get serious? Why don't they build an Audubon type of thing, right? I mean, you know, in about three hours with the right car, I could easily cover the 341 miles. Just get out of my way. And it's not just that.

It's everything in California. I mean, you look at what they're doing to the fuel. You look at what they're even doing to water, right? California city's water supply is expected to run out in just two months. Coalinga, California is the headline of where it is, but it's, um, I said, uh, as people drive past the almond trees being ripped from the ground for lack of water. And the new blinking sign at the corner of Elm and Cherry is warning no watering of front yard lawns. See, this is the Democrat approach. We're going to ration.

We're not going to build. We're not going to secure any new resources. You know, I mean, you've got situations in California that they could do desalination plants if they had the will and get, you know, water from the ocean. They could pump it into these areas and keep the almond business going. You know, most almonds come from California. So that's, I hope you don't like them because California is not going to bother to secure water just like they're not going to bother to secure fuel either. So you're going to need to secure your food from somewhere else,

because California has an outsized role in our food supply here, unfortunately. But this is what they always do. They don't build infrastructure. They don't improve things. I mean, it's not even just desalinization plants. You've got in Austin, I've talked about this before, they came up with a very, very cheap substance that will essentially extract a liter of water,

and just a small amount of it can get a liter per day on a personal basis out of the atmosphere, even if you've only got 30% humidity. And it'll hold that water until you apply a little bit of electrical charge, and then it will release it. I mean, it's amazing, and it's super cheap to build it. Nobody's interested. They pretend like there's no solution to any of that stuff.

They don't have the will. They'll do anything and spend any amount of money for something that isn't going to work, but they won't explore what they can do to even get water. And of course, it's not just California. Take a look at the UK. National Grid, they're warning of three-hour rolling blackouts this winter. They say they're going to have to get the approval of King Charles to do that. Yes, now is the winter of our discontent as King Charles signs the order to turn off the grid and have rolling blackouts. Again, they're rationing it.

They're not going to build it. As a matter of fact, they're deconstructing what supplied power. They don't want to pull oil out of the North Sea there, and they don't want to build any more power plants. They want to ration it because that gives them control. That's what these psychopaths want to do. We're heading into a winter, into an unprecedented situation. Even during the Cold War, the Soviet Union kept gas flowing, said one senior industry source. Well, now you've got a real Cold War, don't you? Yeah, the Russians are giving, they've made the Cold War super real, and it's going to be very real. The first scenario they said is no electricity being

imported from Belgium, France, and the netherlands that require coal-fired plants to make up the shortfall if they got any left right uh in a more drastic scenario a gas shortage in the uk would eliminate about 10 gigawatts of gas fired power generation. And they said in all of these scenarios that they have, it is certain that gas and electric prices are going to soar and remain high throughout the winter. That is exactly what is going to happen. And we know where this is headed with the Marxists who are in control. And I've talked in the past to people of the South Africa, I can't forget what the Sudlanders, I think is the way they pronounce it, the Afrikaners.

And now they are escalating yet again. It looks like they're getting close to what they've been talking about doing for several years, and that is to just go and take land without any compensation. The communists there, the ANC, and they're going to appropriate land. They actually have an expropriation bill. The latest gesture towards what they call land reform. This is what communists call stealing your property, not giving you even a penny for it. But this is, I said, groups representing black farmers in the country have typically favored expropriation without compensation, because that's what you

get, two wolves and a sheep, if you don't respect basic human rights. I was talking about this as a joke from the Babylon Bee of PayPal saying, oh, if you check the box and you're Caucasian, and even if you're Asian, that's near Caucasian. So we will just confiscate $2,500 from your account for that. Well, this is basically what is happening. You're the wrong skin color. We'll just take your property. Everything, and I said this years ago.

I talked to him. I said, what we see happening in South Africa is coming everywhere. Patricia DeLille, a member of the left-wing environmentalist party, is the public works minister there in Africa. You know what they call the left-wing environmentalist party there? Good. That's the name of the party. Good.

Good. Virtue signaling. She said, it's our responsibility to correct the historic injustice of land ownership patterns in South Africa. Which brings us to Columbus Day. You know, in Philadelphia, where they have a large Italian population, they've had to protect the statue of Christopher Columbus. They built a big box around it.

And in deference to the Italian population there, they have painted it with the colors of the Italian flag. Because if they take it out of the box, you'll have the radical left wing try to destroy it. And the Italian community there is disappointed that they wouldn't even take Columbus out of the box for Columbus Day. But that's the world in which we live in. Marconi Plaza, green, white, and red stripes painted on a box

that covers the 146-year-old statue of Christopher Columbus. Because now they have renamed Columbus Day yesterday, Indigenous People's Day. One person said, well, they did this for us, the Italians, to try to make us feel a little bit better, painting the box. It's an honor to our heritage. They had to pull some strings in order to paint it. He said he appreciated the gesture, but he said the problem is the statue is still in a box. He said they could have taken it out for at least a day.

Meanwhile, Mabel Negrete, executive director of Indigenous People's Day, Philly Incorporated. It's incorporated because they make money off of this. She told the Philadelphia Inquirer that it was, quote, unfortunate that some Italian Americans in the city continued to celebrate Columbus. The painting of the box and the colors of the Italian flag, she said, undermines our intentions to move forward.

This is what the progressives always say, right? We're moving forward. That's why you'd see the pictures of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They would have forward up behind them all the time. And sometimes you would have somebody standing in front of the D, and it would just say, for war. But no, the question remains for these people of the indigenous peoples day in Philadelphia.

Why is it that it is wrong to celebrate for the Italians to celebrate their culture? Why is it that we're going to have one culture celebrated and others denigrated, which is what they're doing here? And of course, that is everything that they do. And that is the Marxist approach. The mayor said that Columbus was venerated for centuries as an explorer, but now he has a much more infamous history, because now we know that he enslaved indigenous people, imposed punishments such as severing limbs or even death. And yet, look at what Hollywood just put out with the woman king, right? Celebrating an African tribe that did nothing but enslave other African tribes.

And of course, the American Indians did the same thing. This editorial from American Greatness says, Goodbye Columbus. The attacks on Columbus are part of the broader denigration of Western civilization as racist, exploitive, and imperialistic. A major source of the assault on both Columbus and Western civilization, is a widely used history textbook by Howard Zinn, a People's History of the United States. Zinn was a Marxist polemicist. He wasn't a historian.

The book has been panned even by left-wing historians who are concerned of the damage that it's going to do to their own profession if they sign up for this nonsense. But as one person who criticized his book said, his chapter on Columbus was plagiarized from another book, Columbus is Enterprise, Exploding the Myth, a book for high schoolers, first published in 1976 by Hans Cunning. The attack on Columbus mirrors a broader attack on the United States, which portrays America as irredeemably racist and the indigenous peoples of the Americas as innocent victims of Western crimes, in particular, genocide indoctrinated by the likes of zen and the publishers of the 1619 project and

their ilk by the way you know we're just talking about infrastructure and pete booty gay i also call booty marx because his father was a hardcore marxist his father built his entire academic career uh at notre dame he spent his entire career talking about Gramsci, the guy, Antonio Gramsci, who was the founder of the Italian Communist Party, spent most of his life in prison. But that was the guy that Boudiguet's father built his career around. And then his father, the communist, sent him to Harvard to study under Sakvan Berkovich. And everything that Sakvan Berkovich said, there's nothing in his writing that is any less

than what you would see from this nonsense from Howard Zinn or from the 1619 Project. They say in this essay, of course, the United States declared its independence in 1776. When that happened, slavery was a worldwide phenomenon. It always had been. African states, such as I just mentioned, the Kingdom of Dahomey and the Ashanti Empire of Western Africa were slaveholders themselves and sold other Africans into the Atlantic slave trade. Although the Declaration of Independence did not end slavery at once, here's the key. It made the abolition of slavery a moral and political imperative. And what they don't say in this essay is that Frederick Douglass appealed to the Declaration

of Independence as a moral and political imperative to end slavery. Indians did the same thing to other Indians that the white man is accused of having done to the Indians. They fought over land, over hunting grounds. They fought over trade with the British and the French. The Iroquois, who allied themselves with the British during the colonial period, fought a war of extermination against the Huron, who allied themselves with the French.

For accounts of the interactions with the Europeans, Americans, and the various Indian tribes, read Francis Parkman and James Axtell. You might also ask why there was the last of the Mohicans. What happened to the other Mohicans? Indian wars, wars between Indians. Yes, they had wars, they had slaves, the rest of this. We rightly condemn the forcible removal of the Cherokee from the American Southeast,

but the Cherokee were in the Southeast because they had been driven there by the Sioux. The Black Hills became sacred to the Lakota only after they had driven away other tribes who had already been there. The Comanche were major geopolitical players in North America, helping to shape the policies of first Spain, then Mexico, and then the United States. Indeed, the main reason that Spain and Mexico invited Anglo settlers into Texas was to provide a buffer against Comanche raids into Mexico. It's only because of the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence that we can criticize the actions of our forebears.

Before that, the rule for conduct for both domestic and foreign policy was described by Thucydides in the response to the Athenians to a plea for mercy and justice. He said, justice only applies to equals. As for the rest, the strong do what they will. The weak suffer what they must. And this is the ethics right now of the globalist elite who seek to enslave us all.

While they get us to fight each other and create ethnic and racial strife here to make that happen. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll have Eric Peters, epautos.com joining us. Stay with us. The Common man.

They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.

It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKautos.com joining us. It's always a pleasure to talk to Eric. Both of us share a common interest in cars and liberty, and those two things are related quite a bit.

Thank you for joining us, Eric. Always great thanks for having me thanks for having me back dave are you ready to be intelligently assisted yeah you asked me that question when we were on the phone i said that's why i have you on i i need intelligent assistance that's why i get eric peters and i come on the show boy where to begin okay basically what we're talking about here are speed limiters. But they use these insipid, clawing terms every single time. Intelligent speed limit assist, as if you're somehow an idiot that needs assistance. You're a cripple that can't walk. You know, you have to put in a wheelchair and help along. And then also serve the purpose of tamping down any objection,

because how could you object to something that's intelligent, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we were coming out here, let me just insert this. When we were coming out, the truck that we rented, we rented a really big truck and it

had intelligent assist on the steering, except that it was constantly scaring me to death grabbing the steering wheel and making this big rumbling noise on this big rider truck. It was a big diesel with air brakes and stuff like that. And it was, you know, I'm used to driving a Miata, so I felt kind of out of place. This thing seemed really high and very wide. But if I got too close to, you know, when somebody would start coming to me, I'd get over to the right a little bit. I wasn't about to run off the road, but they thought I was too close to the right-hand side painted line, and it would start threatening me. Yeah, that's what they call lane keep assistance technology. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, that's great. So essentially what they're doing here, to explain the point to people, the NTSB, the National Transportation Safety Board, is going to try to incentivize the car manufacturers to put speed limiters in all cars that will make it impossible to speed, to go faster than whatever the speed limit is.

And I find this fascinating on a number of levels. But I think the big one is with regard to EVs, which we talk about often, because the biggest selling point for EVs is that they are ludicrously speedy. So what's the point of a ludicrously speedy EV that you can't speed in? Exactly. Yeah, so you can zip right up to that 30 mile an hour speed limit. So they may, there's an irony here, they may be shooting themselves in the foot if this goes forward, because it will utterly defeat anything that's appealing about an EV. Okay, so now I'm going to pay 30% to 50% more for this vehicle that only goes half as far and takes five times as long to get going again

that I can't even speed in. What's the point? Well, you know, it is their agenda, and they tried to force this in Wyoming, and the people in Wyoming said, no, we don't want your money. They actually tried to bribe them. They said, well, here's $26 million. And we're going to give this to you to put in charging stations throughout Wyoming. And it's like, are you kidding me?

I mean, you know, the towns are few and far between. It's like Texas, you know, where they say, never have I seen so little, so much of so little so far between well that's the way it is in montana you don't want to have something that you've got great distances that you've got to cover not to mention the fact that it gets super cold up there it's going to reduce the battery life and then you're going to sit there and montana charging do that yeah you're going to sit there in the winter charging up you know charging your car while you're freezing to death? And they said no. Even with the bribe, they said no.

Yeah. You know, I've driven in places like that where it's extremely cold. You know, sometimes you're talking about 20 or 30 degrees below zero, and you can imagine the effect that that would have on an EV, particularly if, you know, let's say that you're a farmer or a rancher and you're pulling a trailer and you need to get your stuff to where it needs to be. And maybe that's, you know, 75 or 100 miles down the road. This is just it's absurd.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. You've got an article. Now, your article about intelligent assist, you just put that up today. But you had an article about what happened in Florida with a hurricane. And I've talked about that briefly a couple of times. The fact that, you know, these cars got flooded, but even got flooded with a hurricane. And I've talked about that briefly a couple of times. The fact that, you know, these cars got flooded, but even got flooded with salt water.

And, you know, and the fires that they're having. Can you imagine if this had happened in California where they got a lot more electric cars to catch fire as the batteries are corroding out from salt water? Yeah, it's another of the compounding problems with these electric cars. You know. Everybody knows that when a hurricane rolls through a place like Florida, cars get flooded out, and there's this problem with them then being shipped to other states. The titles get washed, and some poor mark ends up buying a flood-damaged car, and that stinks.

But now we're adding this additional element of danger to it because when that salt water or briny brackish water gets to the battery, it forms tendrils within the battery. It enhances the chances of there being a short circuit and a fire. And a number of these electric cars down there did catch fire, and probably a lot more are going to catch fire because it'll take a little time for the damage to the battery to manifest and then, poop, it just lights up. And you won't have any warning of this.

It's not like with a gas engine car where you have to have a spark. You know, it's very hard for a gas engine car to just spontaneously combust. That almost never happens. There has to be an impact, and there has to be a spark. With these electric cars, they can spontaneously combust, and it's a really sound policy to not park one anywhere interior house or in your garage let's say uh which is ironic because that's probably where you're going to going to have to plug the thing in and when it starts it is a very rapid as you point out a runaway thing because

you know once once uh part of the battery uh explodes and gets hot uh that just it's just a chain reaction with all the rest of the different components that are there. Yeah, it's a cascading thing, and it's a chemical fire. People should understand that as well. It burns much faster and much hotter than an ordinary fire or gas fire, much more difficult to put out. And even when it's put out, it can spontaneously reignite. And that's why a number of the salvage yards out there that receive wrecked EVs have these dunk tanks. Can you imagine that? A dunk tank.

They have to immerse the thing in water because they don't want their whole place going up in smoke and you can imagine ultimately who's going to pay for all of this and the answer is you and me. Yeah it'll be pushed out through the insurance rates. I've talked about these EV fires, these lithium battery fires and it's like one of these joke birthday candles that keeps relighting. You really do have to submerge it in water is the only way that you can keep the thing from reigniting. But I don't imagine they're going to make the insurance rates just apply to electric vehicles because that would be politically incorrect. So we've all got to have that.

Politically incorrect and I think also financially untenable. You know, if the rates were adjusted to reflect the risk, then the people who buy these EVs would be paying exorbitant insurance and it would be a disincentive to own an EV and, you know, they can't have that. So they'll do what they always do, which is spread the costs out onto the people who haven't incurred the loss and who aren't posing the risk. You know, it's kind of interesting to see what's happening in the UK. And I do go to look to see what they're doing because typically you see this kind of stuff happening first in the UK, then in California, then in the rest of the country, they try to impose that.

And what is happening in uk as really you're talking about the insurance business it really has been escalating there they've had about a half a million uninsured cars taken off of britain's road since 2018 and it escalated through covet since the police didn't have anything to do in this make-believe pandemic they went around confiscating cars that used to be insured. They had their registration and their address or whatever, and they're parked there because nobody's going anywhere with a lockdown. So they knew the car would be there.

And they went around and started confiscating these cars. Already this year, they've confiscated about 65,000 cars in the UK because people were behind on their insurance. I mean, this is an unholy alliance. You know, when you look at the automobile and transportation, you know, the car industry, you see this kind of alliance between the insurance companies and the government the same way that when you look at social media censorship, you see this alliance with the technocracy and government.

They are partners in crime, aren't they? Yeah, it's all part of an effort to systematically make personal vehicle ownership so onerously expensive as well as unappealing that most people are just going to say, you know, the heck with it. And that's what they want. They want to reduce us to a state wherein we simply are allowed transportation as a service. That's the term that they use. And of course, provided you're a good, socially obedient widget and you wear your face diaper and you get your vaccine and all of these other things. Yeah. And they've even, you know, Ford wants to call itself a mobility company now.

They don't want to call themselves a car company anymore. And they were doing very well in terms of profitability a few years ago. We talked about this at the time. They got rid of their CEO there because he was just too focused on automobiles and especially on SUVs and trucks, which were profitable. No, we're not about making profit. And that was before they came out openly talking about ESG, but that's really what was done at Ford. They said, no, we want you pushing our social agenda. We want you pushing environmentalism.

And we want you doing it for the government. And so they kicked out the guy who was making them a lot of money and put somebody in who was going to make it a, you know, you're going to rent by the ride and you're going to get battery-operated electric cars. And that's it, you know, pushing that. But the good news is – I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to say a really fascinating to me aspect of this is that there was a time when the left distrusted and criticized big corporations. But of course, now that the left controls and owns these big corporations, it's not a problem. That's right. There is some good news.

Last time we talked about the fact that, you know, the guy that's running Ford right now decided that at least for the next generation generation or next iteration, I should say, they're going to do the traditional Mustang with a V8. So I don't know what happened to their corporate leadership. Did they pull back from the mobility thing or what's going on with the politics there? But that's good news in the short term, isn't it? It is. I think things hang in the balance. You know, I'm going to be really cynical here.

I think that they aren't sure yet the way things are going to go. It still could be that this EV thing flops badly, and maybe they're hedging their bets, and they want to have some real vehicles that actually have some market desire behind them in production so that they don't go out of business. And they're just waiting to see what's going to happen. I hope that the truth about these EVs will come out in time to prevent a complete collapse of what was the American car business. Well, you know, Toyota, which is now the biggest car company out there, has said, well, they've been very reluctant to get into the lithium battery electric vehicles. They listened to the government.

The government said, well, we want you to cut emissions. They said, well, we can do that. We can do a zero emission electric car. But they came up with the hydrogen fuel cell type of approach. And there's no infrastructure for that. You know, there's, you know, a couple of dozen filling stations for that throughout the United States, including a couple in Hawaii, and the rest of them are in California.

And so they've been basically coerced into, they're now coming up with a lithium battery car because they just can't fight against it. And, you know, there's not going to be any infrastructure for anything other than the battery car. So they're kind of being coursed into it, even though they're skeptical. They don't believe that it's going to work. And one of the things that the Toyota CEO said was, you don't even have the infrastructure to power the grid for all the stuff that you want to put on it.

I mean, it's not even about putting the charging stations. That's where Boudigay is focused. And it isn't about that at all. Where are you going to get the electricity to pump through these stations? That's just a symbolic surface thing to put up charging stations when you're shutting down the power generation into the grid. Sure. You know, and another aspect about this, too, that I think is important

is calling out this whole zero emissions thing. If you want to go down that route, and I'm just challenging the people on the other side here, let's do just that. Let's look at the totality of the emissions, as they put it, that result from the production of a single electric car, and take that into account when we promulgate these regulations and mandates. And if we did that, I think that there would be an entirely different conversation about what constitutes a so-called zero emissions vehicle. That's right. As a matter of fact, it was several years ago that they were saying that the power generation grid in India was allowed to be so dirty because, you know, both China and India are allowed

to build as many power plants coal power plants or whatever they want uh they can build whatever they want unlimited and there's absolutely they don't have to try to make them clean at all and so they make them very cheap and dirty and they do a lot of them and you know a lot of the the people who bought into this whole climate change stuff are very upset about that because they said well this is a global problem how do you give the two biggest countries on earth a pass on this stuff? Uh, but it's a political agenda. Exactly. And so they even pointed out, uh, they said, this is about nothing other than a transfer of wealth. I mean, that that's really what this is, but in India, the grid is so dirty

that if you had a car that was, that got about 34 miles per gallon, you would be using less emissions than an electric car that was charging off of that dirty grid. That's the reality of it. And the same thing is starting to happen in the West as well. You're starting to see the fact that as they get the cars cleaner and cleaner, they're closing that gap so that it's really going to be negligible in a few years if they wouldn't ban internal combustion engines. And that's why they're banning them in California now. New York has announced that they're going to ban them as well.

Sure. And I'd like to further dissect this whole business of emissions, which has gotten horribly confused because they have conflated the things that were historically understood to be emissions, the you know that the unburned hydrocarbons and particulates and so on things that uh... cost small and created respiratory problems and people and so on with carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide is not a a pollutant as as understood historically you know the people will claim that article a changing the climate and then i i'll ask them well

okay do you happen to can you tell me what the percentage of carbon dioxide is in the earth's atmosphere and every single time i've asked a question half the question one of these people they don't know the answer and then i tell them it's zero point oh four percent that's how much of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide and you're really gonna tell me that some fractional increase in that fraction

uh... amounts to an existential threat to the climate that we're all going to die if it increases by however many fractions of a percent. It's just absurd. It is. It is. And plants need it. And what are they doing? They're spending massive amounts of money to pump CO2 into the ground and store it.

They call it sequestering. Spending billions of dollars to set up this infrastructure to do this, I mean, it's the most ludicrous thing I've ever seen in my life. It's a natural gas. It is a part of a symbiotic relationship designed by God. You know, the animals breathe it out and the plants breathe it in and give us, you know, what we need. And yet, it's not just CO2, but they're also now coming for nitrogen in various forms and got to shut that down. The majority of the air is nitrogen. And so, you know.

The reason, you know, it's exactly what you said. It's because these gases are life-enhancing and life-affirming. Being warmer is better than being colder. And having more plants to eat and more plants for the animals that we eat to eat. These are good things. You know, how do we keep warm in the winter? We do it through these gases. These are affirmatively good things. They're not bad things. And what they're trying to do is starve us out and freeze us out and get us to accept our own diminishment by guilt-tripping us about this climate crisis that doesn't exist. And they do it by relentless, continuous propaganda.

And now, you know, banning anybody that disagrees with them about whatever the MacGuffin of the day is. And that is how they've been able to do this. Just look at the COVID thing, right? You know, they've talked about for the longest time, well, you know, it's going to be some kind of a respiratory thing. It's going to be some kind of a flu thing when they're war gaming this, when they're doing their germ games for two decades. And so they take the most common thing, you know, the flu or a cold. And then they demonize that as if that was the most dangerous disease that we had ever had. And now they're saying, well, how do you tell COVID from the flu?

Well, it's difficult, but, you know, and you can't always tell that. Now they're admitting it. Right. And so they take something that's common, like the flu, and then make that the emergency. They take something that's CO2 or nitrogen, that's very common and ubiquitous, and they make that the thing that has to be eliminated. And everybody's got to play this game of Simon says with them. It's just, yeah. And no apologies for when they're caught in a bald faced lie or a, a egregiously wrong thing that perhaps benignly could be attributed to just incompetence. There's never any acknowledgment of error. There's only demonization of those who point it out.

Yeah, that's right. You've got an article, and a lot of people have talked about this picture of Biden in his classic Corvette Stingray convertible. A picture is worth a thousand words. Get in, folks. We're building a better America. It's like, yeah, I think it would be a better America if we were all allowed to have a classic Corvette Stingray convertible. It's a great thing, isn't it, that Biden's PR flacks are this incompetent? You know, here you've got a guy who's telling us

that we must give up our cars to drive an EV, telling us as he's sitting in his classic Corvette with a carbureted V8 engine that has no emissions controls, no airbags, no safety equipment whatsoever. It's astonishing to me that somebody got paid to make that picture. You know, it'd be kind of interesting to go through and make a list of everything that's in that 1967 Corvette that makes it so great that has now been subsequently banned. You know, I think about the hideaway headlights. Oh no, those are banned. Yeah, I got into that in my article. You know, like one of the things that made cars of that era, not just the Corvette, so aesthetically appealing was that the designers could do things like put those really pretty and, you know, mostly ornamental and decorative little bumperettes that they had back in those days and those got outlawed by the government beginning and think in 1974 they all had to be built with these of these horrendous five mile

an hour bumpers that ended up putting several hundred pounds of dead weight hanging off the front and rear end of cars oh yeah I'm that much heavier may them use that much more fuel, go through tires and brakes that much faster, uh, in the name of putatively safety. You mentioned that was 1973 last year that somebody could buy it without the five mile an hour bumpers. I bought a 1974 Triumph Spitfire and they retroactively put like these two big rubber baby bumper things on the front and back,

right? Two front and two back. Right. And I looked at this and I thought that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life because that car is so low that when Karen and I pulled out of the dealership, it's like, there's no, my bumper won't even touch their bumper. We pulled out of the parking lot when we bought the car and I stopped at light, and a bus pulls up on the left. And I look over to the left, and I could see everything under the bus. I could see the muffler and all the rest of the stuff. And I said, look at this. We can see under the car now.

We're so low that we're under the bus here. And there's absolutely no way that five-mile-an-hour bumper was going to work. But you know, it was that way with everybody, Eric. They put the five mile an hour bumper thing on there, but all the bumpers were different heights. And none of them lined up. You know, if you're going to mandate a bumper, mandate, you know, a particular height that it's got to be. Otherwise, it's pointless. They didn't be mandating anything, though.

Exactly. The reason why the cars from that era are looked at so fondly and are collectible and desirable and continue to appreciate in value is precisely because they had this emotional appeal. They were beautiful. They were individual. They were art on wheels. Now we've got these homogenized plastic boxes that look as if they were extruded from the same factory that different badges slapped on them. And they're appliances. And none of these vehicles, 20 or 30 years from now, you're not going to see them at car shows.

They're going to be long since in a landfill somewhere. That's right. Yeah, exactly. They shouldn't have been mandating that in the first place. But again, it's the unholy alliance with the insurance companies and the government, number one. Number two, when they do decide that they're going to put something out there with the purported idea that it's going to save the insurance company's money, they only go halfway

even. I mean, it doesn't even have any pragmatic, you can't even make a pragmatic argument for what they're doing. It's just an arbitrary exercise of brain-dead power. And a conflict too. You know, on the one hand, they'll warble about safety. You know, they'll insist that your car have to have the five mile an hour bumpers. And then on the other, they'll start whining about fuel economy. Well, you just added 300 pounds of dead weight to the car. You know, it's just, it makes my teeth want to fall out of my head sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I was to go back, uh, I would have told my 1974 self, uh, go somewhere to a body shop, take those bumpers off and, uh, get last year's model and put those bumpers on cause I hadn't changed the car other than that, you know? Sure. Yeah. But you know, and looking at Biden, you know, there's something,

it's so exasperating because he's, he clearly loves his Corvette, you know, but yet he has contempt for us, you know, who might want to have something similar. Yes. Yes, exactly. Well, that's a, that, that is a standard that they have. You know, we're talking about intelligent assist. That's where you began and the article that you put up today. Uh, so what do we, what do we say then, if they're going to talk about how they're going to drive the car, they're going to intelligently assist us. And he just had Rivian. One of the electric car manufacturers had to recall every single one of their cars because of steering failure. I mean, we just saw this last week with a 18 wheeler company. They had done some some self-driving trucks or something, but they, they

had to recall all of their trucks because they had some kind of a seat belt issue that wasn't really there. Somebody, a subcontractor, had put it in there. But, I mean, we're talking about the steering not working on these Rivian cars. Yeah, and I don't know offhand whether it is mechanically disconnected. In other words, whether it's steer-by-wire in those trucks, but they're headed in that direction. So if there's a software glitch, you don't have a mechanical connection anywhere.

No mechanical way to control the steering if the electric steering fritzes out. And that should alarm people. The idea that these vital vehicle controls are not mechanically controllable by the person who happens to be sitting in the driver's seat. I would never want a car like that. I don't see it in the article here whether that was drive-by-wire or not, but I would have a hard time believing that it wasn't with Rivian. And the very fact that if it was mechanically hooked up, it probably wouldn't be, you know, I mean, you could have some kind of a, you know, you had rack and pinion, you could have some kind of a bad bolt or something like that that was

going to cause the whole thing to fail. But it seems to me it's much more likely there would be some kind of a software error or something like that in a steer-by-wire is probably what is happening. Yeah, and you know, it's a problem that is compounded by drive-by-wire throttle and transmission control, which a number of new cars have. In fact, I think the majority of them have, meaning you have no way really to control the engine RPM and potentially to even put the transmission out of a drive range to put it into neutral if the engine starts to race. I don't like that. Maybe I'm just erring on the side of caution, but I like the idea that

if something goes haywire with the car, that I can shut the engine off, that I can put the transmission in neutral, uh, and just roll the thing to the side of the road instead of being taken, uh, on a ride that may lead to my death. Yeah. Yeah. I had, I had that issue, uh, with some mods, uh, just a cosmetic mod that I had done on my Mustang 68 Mustang V8 and I I sped up I floored it to go around a car after I just put on this this thing on my on my accelerator pedal and it got stuck

it was just this stupid I was in high school and it was this stupid thing that I put on there it looked like a hang ten thing or something uh, on my accelerator pedal nearly killed me because it got stuck on the carpet and it wouldn't come back up. And so I'm excited. I'm coming up to an exit turn and the thing is, is roaring. It's still accelerating. And so I was able to, uh, put it in neutral and then steer with one hand and reach down there and pull the thing up, you know, but, uh, yeah, just a drive

by wire with everything under software control. You've got an article who wants a stick and it looks like it's starting to make a little bit of a comeback as we've talked about. It was actually really interesting. I caught a news blurb in one of the industry trade publications about a Subaru and in particular about one of their models, the Crosstrek, uh, sales of which were up almost 40%. And it occurred to me, the light went off in my head, and I wonder why that could be. Could it possibly be because the Crosstrek is the last mainstream model that Subaru makes that's still

available with a manual transmission? Apparently, a lot of people really want to get one of those, particularly since Subaru says that 2023, the model year, will be the last year that you can get it with the manual transmission. Oh, wow. Yeah, so I think it's not, the model year, will be the last year that you can get it with the manual transmission. Oh, wow. Yeah, so I think it's not, you know, people will say to me, well, you know, people don't want manuals. Manuals are, that's why manuals aren't available. But it's, you can put it the other way around. You know, the reason that they don't get them is because they're not available.

And the reason that they're not available isn't because people don't want them. It's because the government has de facto outlawed them via these regulations that make it very difficult for any car company to build a vehicle with a manual and get through the gauntlet of miles per gallon requirements and the carbon dioxide emissions requirements because it's harder to program a vehicle that has a manual transmission. The automatic transmission is something that's programmable, so you can program it to pass the test. something that's programmable. So you can program it to pass the test. And that's desirable from the standpoint of the car manufacturers. And so they just give up on the manual, put the automatics in. I'd like to see what would happen in a market kind of environment if the car companies were free once again to offer manual transmissions.

I have a feeling a lot of people would buy them. Yeah, we've got a 2012 Mazda 5, and one of the reasons that we tried to get that car was because we wanted to get a manual transmission, but we eventually gave up because we couldn't. They were making so few of them, shipping so few of them with a manual transmission that we eventually gave up. But we still have it, still drive it, and the automatic, they have put a, a, you know,

it's not a real powerful engine in terms of acceleration by any means, but they exacerbated the weakness of the engine by putting, by adjusting the, uh, the shifting points to try to maximize the fuel economy on these EPA tests. And so, you know, when you get out of the shift between second and third is so long that it doesn't have any power there. And so whenever I have to, you know, get on to the interstate or something like that, always manually shift it and, you know, just to get past that. But that, you know, that's exactly what they do. They game it so they can look better with the EPA numbers. And that's why they're pushing towards, uh, uh, automatic, uh, you know, just to comply with regulations and to comply with this arbitrary benchmark, uh, that they put

out, which really doesn't make much sense anyway. I mean, you look at this, you know, the city and the, uh, and the highway mileage that they figures that they've got out there. I mean, everybody is, is playing games with it in terms of, uh of the shifting points and all the rest of the stuff. It really is pretty meaningless. Yeah, it's standards of learning for cars. All that matters is that the car company can say, yep, we achieved whatever the figure is. You know, let's say 36.5 miles per gallon.

You know, we got that or we got close to it. And then they can advertise it on the window sticker that it gets 28 city and 35 highway or whatever the number is. But out in the real world, you find just because of the factors that you described, the car's lugging, it doesn't feel right. So you push down harder on the accelerator to get the thing to accelerate and boom, that the supposed three mile per gallon or so advantage that was touted on the window sticker goes right out the window. That's right. It's a window sticker. right out the window that's right it's a window sticker uh yeah let's talk a little bit about gas prices you've got an article low gas prices for maybe another month maybe right because the election's over now we can let it go

right well yeah where do we begin with this obviously you know the reason that gas prices have gone up is because of the very deliberate and specific policies of the Biden regime that imposed a scarcity on the supply of oil. That had some political consequences, though, as the price of gas doubled and then almost tripled. The proletariat was getting a little bit discombobulated about that. And I think Biden, in one of the most cynical moves imaginable, dumped open the spigot of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to flood the market temporarily with enough oil to get the prices to go down to only twice as much as they were before he became El Presidente. Somebody called it his campaign credit card. I think that's a good description of what he's done with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Yeah, in the hope that it would tamp down prices enough to distract people for long enough, meaning to the midterms, that maybe they wouldn't suffer the electoral rout that everybody seems to think is coming.

But the point is, the take-home point here is it is temporary. It is artificial. There's a finite amount of oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and now that the Saudis have said, nope, we're not going to increase capacity to you, just to benefit you. And once the election is over with and they don't have to worry about the consequences anymore, they're going to go right back to their policy of energy starvation. And I wouldn't be surprised if gas costs $5 a gallon again by December. Just think of the many different levels of cynical hypocrisy from the biden administration i mean on day one he's shutting down extraction

he's shutting down the pipeline all the rest of this stuff now they are out there blaming uh the oil companies they're blaming uh the especially the retailers retailers don't make much money off of this at all i mean they've got've got a very, very narrow margin there. And most of them are, are now underwater. According to the trade group, you know, they're, they're losing money on the gas that they sell because they have to, you know, it's just kind of like the, uh, the movie theaters, they have to sell popcorn in order to, that's where they make their money. They don't, they make virtually nothing, uh, off of the actual ticket sale.

And so they kind of use the gasoline to get people in there. They make their money. They make virtually nothing off of the actual ticket sale. And so they kind of use the gasoline to get people in there. Typically, they'll make a little bit off of each gallon that you buy. But for the most part, it's the other stuff that you're going to buy while you're there. But the Biden administration is ruthlessly attacking these people. Meanwhile, he exacerbated all of these artificial scarcities that he forced on us day one. He exacerbated that with the sanctions against Russia. So what does he do? He goes to Venezuela where they've got sanctions. And so, I mean, all of this, none of this stuff is so amazing how hypocritical it is. It's just amazing to me that, I don't know, we'll have to see if they get away with it.

I think the American public has got to see through this. But they're working pretty hard to make sure we don't. Well, absolutely. And the take-home point here is that they need for oil and gas and diesel to be expensive in order to foist off this electrification transition that they constantly tout. It's vital. Nobody is going to spend $50,000 on an electric car when they can still buy a $25,000 gas engine car

that they can fill up for $30 or $40 even. It's just not going to pencil out. And that's the bottom line, and that's why I think when we look at Gavin Newsom, I call it the Newsom world order, because they telegraph what they're going to do there. When you look at how out of sync California is with everybody else, you look at the number two most expensive average per state gasoline, and they do it on a per state basis because it's highly dependent on the state taxes. That's why it varies so much. But it's a state type of thing. But you look at Oregon, they're way below the price in California.

California has never been more expensive than all of the rest of the states in reference to them. And it's not even because of their taxes. It's because of the special blend that they are forcing on there. And that's the path that I think Biden and the rest of these people are going to them. And it's not even because of their taxes. It's because of this special blend that they are forcing on there. And that's the path that I think Biden and the rest of these people are going to follow. They're going to follow Gavin into the Newsom world order, and they're going to start doing that type of thing to artificially inflate the price of stuff. I remember when they did that with diesel. I had a diesel car at the time, and they artificially put in this new special blend of diesel, and all of a sudden, it had been cheaper than regular gas. All of a sudden, it was right up

there with premium gas once they did that. Yeah, sure. And a lot of people will remember that. There was a time, and it wasn't that long ago, when diesel fuel cost substantially less than gasoline. And now it's absolutely the opposite of that. And in addition to that, the diesel vehicles, the new ones, are extraordinarily expensive and not particularly efficient. So there's really not a lot of reason to buy a diesel-powered vehicle anymore, which was precisely what they intended. That's right. And it should be cheaper than a regular because it's not refined as much.

You know, there's absolutely, except for the artificial interference of the government and their mandates, and again, I think we need to stop calling them mandates. I'm doing it myself out of habit. I think we need to call them dictates because we need to understand they're coming from dictators, right? Exactly right. And I think that really ties it in better than mandate does. But yeah, it's just their mandates, their dictates.

A diesel engine is an inherently simpler kind of engine than a spark ignition engine. It doesn't have as many parts. It doesn't need as much to operate. In fact, all it really needs is a starter to crank it over, and once it's running, it continues to run on its own. But they've made them much more complicated, at least as complicated as spark ignition engines, using this pretext of emissions control.

And the reason that they're doing is deliberate because deals much more so than gas engines represent in my opinion existential threat to this electrification agenda i believe it's why volkswagen uh... was practically crucified over this this pedantic uh... meaningless in in the real world so-called cheating on on federal emissions certification test because they could not abide meaningless in the real world, so-called cheating on federal emission certification tests, because they could not abide a manufacturer like Volkswagen having an entire roster, a lineup,

not just one car, but a whole lineup of highly efficient and very affordable, very practical, very durable diesel-powered vehicles. Nobody is going to buy a $50,000 EV when they could buy a $22,000 diesel-powered Golf or Jetta that gets 50-something miles per gallon and is going to go for 300,000 miles. And you and I talked about this. I don't know. When did they put those fines on there, the EPA did, for the quote-unquote cheating on the emissions test? I mean, we're just talking about how they... That all blew up around 2016, and I don't think it's coincidental, because that is right around the time when this whole EV push really began in earnest. And that's right after they said, okay, 2030 is the date, right?

Prior to that, the UN had its Agenda 21, and then in 2015, the UN and Davos said, okay, it's 2030, and we're going to have the smart cities and have all the rest of the stuff, and they immediately come after a Volkswagen. And we were just talking about how they all cheat on the emission standards by the way they adjust the transmission shifting points and stuff. Right. So they came after VW because as you pointed out at the time, uh, they were about ready to pull out a 100 mile per gallon diesel engine. That was really on a blow things away. And so they had to be shut down. They gave them fines that of like $4 billion.

And you, we, you and I compared that to Luke. What did they do when they had the exploding Pintos? I mean, you know, all of these different things with the Takata airbags, nobody had ever gotten a fine anywhere close to that.

They really made an example. People were actually killed in those cases. Yes. Yeah. I mean, no, no harm was ever established. No specific actual harm was adduced and laid at the feet of Volkswagen over these diesels.

You know, it was purely this legalistic pedantic argument about cheating on an emission certification test. That's it. And they made a point of it, too. They brought these people to heel. They even, they were floating around the idea, we're going to criminally prosecute some of the CEO class of people, some of the officers of Volkswagen, and threatened to do that. They didn't do that, to my knowledge, but they were talking about doing that, and then hit them with a $4 billion fine. So then VW became one of the biggest cheerleaders of electric vehicles, and all of a sudden he didn't hear any more about it. Yeah, they came to love Big Brother. A lot of people are unaware of the fact that just as that scandal broke, Volkswagen was working on this diesel-electric hybrid.

And that diesel-electric hybrid, the model that you just referenced a moment ago, would have gotten probably between 80, and depending on the driving conditions, 80 and 150 miles on a gallon of diesel. Wow. They're going to use it as a generator, right? Yeah, exactly. Now, you can imagine, what would that have done to this electrification agenda? If you could have gone out and bought a little diesel electric commuter car that would get even 80 miles per gallon, effectively eliminate your fuel costs.

Yeah. Well, what we're talking about eliminating fuel costs, one way you do that is to eliminate the fuel, right? And that seems to be what they're doing. That's what they're doing. And, you know, and then look at it from the environmental point of view. If you're only using a gallon of diesel to go 80 miles, you're hardly emitting anything, you know,

leaving aside whether this whole climate so-called crisis is another one of these amped up, hyped, over-exaggerated frauds, even if you just accept for the sake of discussion that there's something going on, well, wouldn't you want a vehicle that uses practically no gas because it emits no gas almost? That's right. And they can make them very, very clean. You know, but the diesel has been the poster child for banning stuff for a long time.

They used to talk about fine particulate matter. And it was a decade ago that some people that I was working with right there where I was in North Carolina, Research Triangle Park, they had the EPA there. And Mark Malloy of Junkscience.com noticed that they were doing something at EPA, and they were sending people to the hospital. And so they started digging on it, and they had searched for people who had respiratory and heart issues, and they exposed them to more than 70 times what the EPA said was safe, and they're trying to blame it, you know, to use that as an excuse to completely ban diesel. I mean, they had their crosshairs on that more than a decade ago,

working at that. At the same time, you had Lisa crosshairs on that more than a decade ago, working at that. And at the same time, you had Lisa Jackson, who was Obama's head of the EPA, was saying, yeah, I'm not talking about people getting sick from fine particulate matter from diesel. I'm talking about more people dying from that than die from cancer and heart disease. You know, just like they said about COVID two years ago.

You know, just flat-out lies for whatever their MacGuffin is for the day. Well, it's tragic that they're able to get away with this because the media has become complicit with it. There's essentially no mainstream journalism anymore. There's simply an amen chorus PR organ for whatever the shibboleths of the government corporate nexus happens to be. Let's talk about what's going on in France, because the next thing, besides making gasoline very expensive, besides making it very rare

and shutting down our sources, this is happening right now in France. They got 11,000 filling stations in France total. Out of those, 2,100 had no fuel whatsoever, and another 1,100 had run out of one type of fuel or the other. I've got a short clip here. You can hear this. This is from an Irish journalist who is there in France warning people about it. It's like, if you're going to go to France, bring your own fuel with you. But here's what he had to say. A seemingly unending

tailback early on Saturday morning in Paris. Some motorists spent hours in their cars in the hope of filling their tank. I got up at 4am to go looking for petrol. After a long wait, there was relief, even

if stocks were limited. 30 euros for everyone, no more. It's not petrol, but time I'm putting into the car. The hunt continued throughout the day. Shortages caused by strikes at refineries have hit one in five filling stations in France.

The north of the country is particularly affected, like here in Arras, where entry is being screened. It says I'm three quarters full. Three quarters, nope, can't get any more guests. It's appalling, isn't it? You know, and I caught something in the news the other day about the Swedish government advising people in Sweden to build huts inside their homes using blankets,

you know, like throw blankets over their dining room table so that the family can huddle underneath it and not freeze to death this winter. You know, it's amazing, isn't it, Eric? You know, I remember when we had the OPEC oil embargo, right? And the politicians were all about, we're going to make sure this never happens again. You know, we're going to find other sources of energy. You know, if we've got to get off of oil and all the rest of the stuff, they were talking that way.

And yet nobody is saying, uh, let's figure out what we can do to, uh, fill in the gap here. You know, whether you're talking about in California, they've got a city that's going to run out of water in two months. Uh, the almond trees are dying. They're not talking about how can we get more water? How can we set up some desalinization plans or anything? Nobody wants to solve the problem.

They want to manage the crisis. They want to manage the chaos that they created. It's an opportunity. The problem is one of abundance. You and I can remember when for decades they kept intoning and telling us that it's peak oil. We're going to run out of oil and that's why we've got to come up with alternatives to oil. Well, as it turns out, there's plenty of oil. There's so much oil, we don't know what to do with it. And if the market were able to extract it, we'd probably be paying 50 cents a gallon for gas. And that's what they can't abide. It's the prospect of the proletariat of ordinary people having access to cheap, abundant energy,

which translates into common wealth for pretty much everybody. That's what they don't want. Well, I remember, you know, when all this stuff happened, and, you know, it was back in 1979, I saved copies, and I show them from time to time on the show, of Time and Newsweek, and they were both saying, and they even did a really nice graphic, I think it was on Time Magazine, showing that by the mid-1980s, we were going to be completely out of oil. And then by the late 1980s, we're going to be completely out of gas. But at the time, we had 666 years of coal, they said. So the first thing

that had to go was coal. And then the rest of the stuff was going to take care of itself. But I saved that because I knew it was ludicrous and um i knew it would be um it'd be something i could laugh at for the rest of my life and so i do pull it out every once in a while and laugh at it but you know they're still giving us these dire predictions they still love to call fuel fossil fuel uh and still promote that dinosaur thing you know it was was the CIA who put out peak oil. They were the ones who were pushing that idea because it served their purposes of control. And it's all a lie.

I mean, this is organic material that is renewable. You can find more of it. The problem is the politicians who are trying to use it as a point of control. Absolutely. What you said about having those old-time magazines prompted something in my mind, that scene in Oral's 1984 where Winston has the piece of the scrap of paper that contradicts what the current orthodoxy of the party is, you know, and he has to burn it quickly so the big brother doesn't see that he has it. And that's exactly it. You know,

as soon as one of their rationalizations, uh, is dissipated by fact, well, they come up with a new reason to, to continue the crisis. So when they could no longer claim that we're going to run out of oil, cause it was clear we weren't running out of oil. Then along came the climate crisis. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I was just playing that clip there. And you notice that, uh, one of the guys that were saying, look, you know, forget about the fuel. Look at how much time I'm investing in this. They've got to show up, and they've got to wait in line, and they're sleeping in their cars and all the rest of the stuff. And then they've got to get past the gendarmes who are going to say, well, how much fuel do you have?

I'm sorry, you've got three-quarters of a tank. No, you can't buy any gas and all this kind of stuff. You've got an article called The Time Tax. Talk about that. Well, yeah, I think it's one of the aspects or facets of this whole electric car thing that people should take into account. It's not just that they cost you money and that they cost the environment as well, but think about how much time you're going to end up having to spend dealing with an electric car.

And time, unlike money, is something that you can never replace. So that half hour to 45 minutes that you're going to be spending at a so-called fast charger, not including the time you spent getting there and then the time you spend getting back to wherever you came from, that's the time tax that you're going to pay for owning an electric car. Yeah, time is money. Time is money. And that's the thing that they're robbing us of. But of course, as I said, I like to look and see what is happening in Europe because they're ahead of us. And in London, you have Sadiq Khan has set in as they're gradually banning cars, getting to the point where they have their full-on ban. But even before they get to that point, they're setting up what they call ultra-low emission zones.

And so you can't go into these certain areas or certain places, like London's got several of them. And this is something that's becoming quite common throughout the UK, throughout the EU, to set these areas where you can't drive unless you have a zero-emissions car. So this is kind of the, you know, as, as Fauci said about the vaccines, uh, we got to do it from the inside. We got to do it with disruption and we have to do it iteratively. So here's the iterative part of it, you know, these ultra low emission zones.

And, uh, I fully expect to see that as part of their rollout here in the United States as well, but we've already had two States jump in and say, we're just going to outright ban cars at such and such a time. But I imagine in the interim, they're going to start moving people into that Overton window with these ultra low emission zones. Sure, they will. And it will always be, as it has been in the past, rules for thee, but not for me. Yes. You know, the time tax, all of the other things that are associated with this transition to electrification will not affect the ruling apparatchiks. You know, the time tax, all of the other things that are associated with this transition to electrification will not affect the ruling apparatchiks. You know, they will continue to have access to combustion engine vehicles because they work and they get them where they need to go, just as they'll never have to worry about the cost of anything because they can make us pay for it.

That's right. Yeah, when do you think they're going to have the president's beast fully electrified? Right. It's preposterous. It will never happen. Air Force One, the presidential helicopter, all of these things burn hydrocarbon fuels, and they work, and there's no time tax. When he needs to go somewhere, he can go there right now.

He's not going to sit there and wait for a charge. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Well, how are things going in terms of your, I know that you've had some raids on your chickens and ducks. Have you recovered from that? Have you secured that? What's going on with your move? I have. Well, I finally did the thing. I did the thing that I should have done from the get-go. And, you know, the wise farmers who live around me, of course, will say I told you so. But I put up an electric fence. Yeah, the electric fence has everything it needs to deter everything, including bear. You get zapped with one of those things and you're going to head for Z Hills.

So there have been no more, uh, raids, uh, on the poultry. Um, I just wish that I had, uh, you know, learned to do that from the get-go, but I guess you have to learn from experience. That's the nature of these things. Well, that's good. That's a useful tip for a lot of people. I mean, uh, certainly for us, because we we've lost a couple of batches of chickens back in Texas.

We haven't tried it yet, it yet since we relocated here. But we had a couple of batches of them that were lost to predators who got in. They're really neat because you don't have to have grid power. If you go to a rural king or a tractor supplier or any place that sells livestock, farm stuff, you'll be able to find these things. And you have a head unit that's solar powered. And, you know, you put it on a post, it soaks up the sun, it stores up the jewels, and then you run wire around whatever you'd like to protect. And anything that touches that wire is going to get zapped. That's great. Yeah,

the bear thinks that he's just, he's happened to cross a big bunch of bees or something like that, right? Yeah, and I experimented on myself inadvertently. I was paying attention. So, yeah, I found out exactly what it does, and I think it's more than ample to keep a bear headed in the opposite direction. That's great. That's great. Any other tips that you want to pass on to people trying to get more self-sufficient as winter is approaching and we never know what these idiots in charge are going to pull on us next, especially after the election?

A lot of it depends on your particular situation. To those who have the ability to heat their homes with wood, I think it's a really solid idea to buy a load or chop some wood and have that on hand because once you have it, you've got it. And that means that if the power goes off or if the propane truck doesn't show up, you'll still have the ability to heat your home, to boil water if you need to, which could be very important. It's good to have alternatives. Something else that I do, I've got a little camp stove, and it's a multi-fuel stove. It can burn regular unleaded, it can burn diesel, it can burn alcohol, practically anything.

And I keep that ready to go at any time because I can use that to cook on should the need arise, and I can use it to boil water should the need arise. So having these backups and alternatives is sound policy, in my opinion. That's fantastic. Yeah. We need to, we have a fireplace, but we need to get more serious about it and get a wood stove. That's one of our first things that we've got to do in terms of prepping because we have tons of wood around here. So it'd be a,

yeah, we don't want to be hunkered underneath the table with blankets over it. Do we? Yeah. Go full Sweden experiment. Well, it was great talking to you.ic always is and uh folks if you want to get some uh very thoughtful entertaining writing go to epautos.com he focuses on practical

aspects of transportation practical car reviews i mean you're not going to find uh reviews of a three million dollar hyper car that you're never even going to see. But, you know, you'll find real stuff about real cars there, especially how it impacts our freedom. epautos.com. Thank you, Eric. It was great talking to you. Appreciate it. Thanks, David.

Appreciate your having me on. All right. And we're going to be right back, folks. Stay with us. I've got some important information about outer space. Stay with us. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Well, and William Shatner went boldly where no 90-year-old has ever gone before,

and he is now writing about it. He's got a new book called Boldly Go, Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder. And Variety has an excerpt from it where he talks about his trip to space with Jeff Bezos. You remember, he's now the oldest person to have gone into space. He's 90 years old when he blasts it off. And it's kind of entertaining, the little excerpt that they had here as he's looking at, you know, they're taking him up on the gantantries going up 11 floors and and then they take him into a concrete

room because what's this about they said well in case everything uh you know catches fire starts to blow up this is your shelter room we got some you know tanks here where you can breathe and it's all concrete and he's like what and uh so you know he's sitting on top of this giant uh uh fireworks thing that gets set off. And so he talks about the blast off and what it was like. And then as soon as they're up and away and it gets weightless, he said, everybody was out of their seat and they were playing around with a floating weightlessly.

He said, except for me. And his first, um, uh, desire was to go over and look out the window. And he says, with the weightlessness that everybody else is playing, he said, I wanted, I needed to get to the window as quickly as possible to see what was out there. He said, I looked down and I could see the hole that our spaceship had punched in the thin, blue-tinged layer of oxygen around the Earth. It was as if there was a wake trailing behind where we had just been. And just as soon as I'd noticed it, it disappeared. He said, I continued my self-guided tour, and I turned my head to face the other direction and stare into space.

He said, I love the mystery of the universe. I love all the questions that have come to us over thousands of years of exploration, stars exploding and all this stuff. But he said, when I looked in the other direction, out into space, he said, there was no mystery. There was no majestic awe to behold. He said, all I saw was death. Death. You know, and I looked at this and I thought, well, that's interesting. You know, they want you to believe that there's nothing special about earth. They also want you to believe that there's nothing special about you. They want you to believe there's nothing special about the design of the animals around us, that type of thing. Well, you know, this could happen anywhere. You know, we're just

an accident here. He goes on to say, well, you know, the earth is such a wonderful accident that we just have to preserve that. And unfortunately, that is missing the whole point. Day after day, the knowledge of God is poured out. Night after night, you can see God's creation and you can see intelligent design in it. But to them, all they see is death. That's it for today. Thank you. and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.

They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
