As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 17th of January, Year of Our Lord 2023, day 1041 of the emergency. And as we take a look today at some of the things that happened at Davos yesterday, their agenda, it is very interesting that they're so excited about what the pandemic measures did to reset our society. But today we're going to take a look not only at the New World Order at Davos. We'll take a look again at what has happened. what happened last week in Geneva, close to Davos.

We had the moves and still going on, World Health Organization trying to set up a pandemic treaty to rule the world through pandemics, as World Economic Forum is trying to do it with the justification of the climate. But we'll also take a look at what is happening with other news, gun control, pharmaceuticals. We had a major win in terms of breaking through the censorship in the UK. I'll show that to you. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Well, as I said, last week it was Geneva, this week it is Davos. What happened to Switzerland, this once proud and free nation? I don't know. Was it World War II? Did you have all the criminals go to escape to Switzerland, this once proud and free nation? I don't know. Was it World War II? Did you have all the criminals go to escape to Switzerland or something?

I don't know what happened. I mean, Switzerland used to be associated with privacy, anonymity, sound banks, gold, and all the rest of the stuff. And you just had the Swiss Central Bank lose one-fifth of the gross domestic product of the nation, speculating on foreign fiat currencies. And all these confabs, everybody seems to be comfortable going to Switzerland, and, of course, Switzerland is more than happy to provide security. 5,000 soldiers, as I reported last week, plus the police that are there,

the journalists that are showing up to cover Davos, have to have digital ID, biometric information, fingerprints, all the rest of the stuff. You don't have that as an alternative media. Boy, they're harassing the reporters that are there, besides keeping them away. Truly are harassing them. Snipers. There's been a lot of talk about uh well uh klaus schwab is not going to be there for the first day um i don't know if he showed up last night or if he it was this morning he did make a speech they did say he's going to be there for the second day and of course with the time difference um he did make a speech but uh soros did not go. We had a lot of world leaders did not go. Part of that is a reminder that they are pushing us into some very dangerous times

because you didn't have Biden go, you didn't have Putin go, you didn't have Xi go. Macron was not there. The new supposed leader of Brazil, whether he won that election or not, the Marxist did not go. Uh, he's, he's got to keep an eye on what is happening in his own state. Very unstable situation right now. And, uh, before we get into Davos, just a reminder again of this world health organization thing.

I talked about it last week. We'll get James Roguski on eventually. I was late in getting to this stuff, late in trying to get him to come on the show. But he's getting the word out. Excellent researcher. I've had him on before. I'm glad that James is getting the word out. Get to as many places as you can. When he gets the time, we'll get him on the show here.

Because he has a lot to warn us about. As I look at this and what is happening in Davos, everybody talking about that now. And one of the articles that I came across is from the Daily Skeptic. I like the Daily Skeptic. They're very good, especially on the vaccine stuff, climate stuff, other things. He's putting together a book with someone else about Davos. And he kind of stepped back and said, well, I'm not so sure that it's a conspiracy. Meaning that it wasn't secretive. It says, well, it's right out in the open. And yet what is done in secret is what has been happening with the World Health Organization's pandemic treaty.

It is a genuine conspiracy to extend medical martial law that we've been under now for 1,041 days, to extend that to everyone for everything, requiring testing to shut you down, to declare a pandemic. They can unilaterally declare a pandemic, demanding that we surrender our sovereignty to them, saying that this is going to be legally binding or they're not interested in it. So, again, we will have something to say about that if we ever wake up. The people at the top are going to betray us. That's the real lesson about Davos, is how we've been betrayed by the people at the top. Every country, every political party, every philosophy that they claim to embrace.

They have betrayed us and every country. So the World Health Organization meeting last week in Geneva, Switzerland, proposing amendments to the international health regulations. And again, it's highly technical. James Roguski has broken it down. There's two different things that are happening. There's the international health regulations, there's the pandemic treaty, and it's this kind of legalese as well as, you know, people don't want to get into the details, don't want to get into the weeds. I understand most talk show hosts

don't want to do that either, right? It's just give me the big picture. Let's to get into the details, don't want to get into the weeds. I understand most talk show hosts don't want to do that either. Just give me the big picture. Let's not get into the details. Well, the devil is in the details, and the conspiracy is in the details. It would strip nations of their sovereignty, create worldwide totalitarian state. This is from Children's Health Defense. Secretive negotiations. So now I guess we could call it a conspiracy.

In Geneva, Switzerland, similar negotiations took place last month for drafting a new pandemic treaty. This last week, they were talking about the other leg of it, the international health regulations. The proposed international health regulation amendments and the proposed pandemic treaty together are two separate issues, related they reinforce each other it would alter the who's ability to respond to public health emergencies throughout the world significantly stripping nations of their sovereignty uh it would be legally binding they were very concerned that their previous treaties were not legally binding. And there is a mechanism for them to do that. And it's not simply a treaty, which people have had two different opinions as to whether or not treaties are legally binding. Can a treaty abrogate, is a treaty that we sign with someone outside the country, does that alter the Constitution? I would say adamantly

no. But of course, it doesn't really matter because these people have the power to do what they wish. They're just looking for a plausible legal reason to exercise their raw power. And we saw this throughout the pandemic. Can you have public health bureaucrats at every level of government, local, state, federal? Can any of those public health dictators abridge the Constitution? Well, they said, yes. President Trump gave us an executive order of an emergency. We're operating on an emergency. And the Constitution doesn't apply anymore. That's why I called it medical martial law, even though, you know, from the very beginning. And by the beginning of April, I was being attacked, along with some other people who said that, by the Daily Beast. Because it was medical martial law. If you can suspend the

Constitution, that's martial law. And if it's, you know, the public health dictator is doing it, that's the basis of it. Anyway, they could mandate medical examinations. In other words, tests, they could force quarantines, force treatment, force vaccines, force passports, um, establish global health certificates, everything that they're doing. And there's multiple paths for this. Understand that these guys don't put all their eggs in one basket. They're going to come after us with a global digital ID. They'll do it on the basis of, well, we have to track everything that you're doing from a carbon standpoint.

So we need to have CBDCs. That'll be a big part of that. But we also need to have vaccine IDs to know if you've gotten all your vaccines and we're going to control your movement and your travel and all these other things, your job perhaps. So they have multiple ways to set up a global ID system, a mark of the beast, a mark of the government, so that you can't do anything. CBDC is the key thing. But they're looking at multiple paths to get us there. So it would give the WHO, says Roguski, means of production, power of the means of production during a declared pandemic, which you know what Trump did.

Going in and telling Ford and General Motors, stop making cars. I want you to make ventilators that'll kill people. If they made cars that were as dangerous as ventilators, they'd be put out of business in no time with the lawsuits. Anyway, it calls for development of an IHR, that's the rules for health infrastructure, at points of entry, national borders. They want to redirect billions of dollars to the pharmaceutical hospital emergency industrial complex.

Remove any mention of respect for dignity, human rights, and fundamental freedom of speech. Well, of course, this is a system where they want to take us beyond freedom and dignity. This is behavioral psychology, has been from the very beginning. And if you're going to talk about behavioral psychology, you got to go to the guy who wrote the book about beyond freedom and dignity, B.F. Skinner. This would dramatically expand the role of the WHO. An entirely new bureaucracy would be created by the, quote, conference of the parties. That's how they refer to themselves, these conspirators, which would include

not just member states, but relevant stakeholders. The new bureaucracy, according to Roguski, would be empowered to analyze social media, to identify misinformation, disinformation, counter it with their own propaganda. And, of course, they have partnered with organizations such as NewsGuard. And we'll be talking about NewsGuard when we talk about the breakthrough that happened on the BBC with the doctor who dropped a massive truth bomb

that, for the most part, the response from the British media has been to ignore that it happened. But it has gone viral. It surpassed every media event in the UK, except for the funeral of the Queen, and it is rapidly approaching those numbers. So this is their plan, their lane. They have multiple paths to get us into slavery. The proposed amendments would seek to remove three very important aspects of the existing regulations. They would remove respect for dignity, human rights, and fundamental

freedoms, and they would change the IHR from non-binding to legally binding, obligating nations to assist other nations. They're trying to set up a legal framework here for world governance. And I say world governance. This is going to come to us initially, at least, and it's not going to be a world capital and a throne that Klaus Schwab is going to set on, at least not initially. He may not make it to that point. Somebody else may be there. But initially, and this is where we are already, already we have global governance that is

done with the crony capitalism, the partnership of multinational corporations and governments, and especially the globalist organizations. Biden can instruct his representative in May, assuming that they adopt the regulations, he can tell him to sign the regulations. And then the Biden administration will treat that as a binding international agreement, just like they did with the 2005 regulations. And again, as I said, it doesn't matter whether he has the authority to do this or not. They're constantly pushing the limit. And unless people push back on them, like the Sheriff's Association in Illinois pushing back against the governor who has rolled out massive gun control there. Unless you push back, they will keep encroaching.

They will never stop. So if this happens, they will not have to consult anybody. They will just be able to do what they wish by declaring an emergency. Any real or potential emergencies, the amendments would empower the WHO to mandate a variety of policies globally. Do you understand, and this is something that I didn't see, Children's Health Defense didn't say whether or not James Roguski had talked about this or not, but I see a parallel to the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act. That was what set down the legal framework, of course,

for all these health departments from county health departments to state and so forth, to once a president declared an emergency over health. They sent out these regulations, told the states to enact them. And so they had that sitting there for 20 years while they practiced their germ games. And then they kicked it off with the emergency order. That is really what this is. They're laying the legal framework and you should be very concerned about the details. Nobody paid any attention to the model state health emergency powers act. It was quietly enacted in the majority of states. The majority of the agenda was enacted in the

majority of the states. And that was the basis for what they did. So these are not idle threats. This is not an agenda that they're going to all the trouble of creating this thing only to never use it. No, they have definite plans to use it. I think it is interesting, as I said at the beginning of the year, I said I think that 2023 is going to be the year of CBDC. And now we have the Wall Street Journal and an article that was featured, Wall Street Journal, featured by Drudge, even though it is skeptical, critical of CBDC in many ways.

Central bank digital currencies are coming, whether countries are ready or not, is the headline from the Wall Street Journal. I'm glad that they did this. I'm glad to see awareness from people. But I understand one of the reasons why they're going public with this, why they're preparing the public, is because they're ready to roll this thing out.

March of last year, Biden telling every department underneath him, and he is, as the executive branch, has all of the bureaucratic departments that are underneath him. So he's telling every single one of them, give me a report in six months, and assigning them to four different areas. How are you going to redesign, completely redesign our financial system? Well, that would be scary enough. But then he tells all the law enforcement agencies, how are you going to enforce it? Of course, he has a group that is going to write the code. And the fourth one was how they're going to sell it to people through the climate agenda.

So as the Wall Street Journal points out, 114 countries are exploring digital currencies. Their collective economies represent more than 95% of the world's GDP. This is what is very troubling. This is why it's very important. I think one of the more important interviews that I've done the last several months was to talk to Senator Frank Nicely here in Tennessee about efforts to set up a state bank. That needs to be done in a lot of different places. And we can have an alliance with credit unions and local banks who are going to have their throats slit on this. We do not want CBDC. And this is why at the beginning of the year, when you've got people like Peter Schiff saying, well, this is going to be the year of gold and it's going to go sky.

Well, maybe. But you need to prepare to make sure that you've got something to stay outside of CBDC. That's why I'm, you know, here's a plug. David Knight.gold through Tony Arterman. But prepare. If you don't get it there, get it somewhere. But you need to have something that is outside of the system. Because we're going to have to be outside of this.

We'll have to have maybe, you know, a foot in the system or maybe a toe or two. But we have to be able to be outside of the system. Very important to prepare for that. You know, while you're out there getting your chickens so you can still eat eggs, make sure that you set aside some money for gold as well. In the Wall Street Journal, they say Jerome Powell has indicated that the U.S. Central Bank has no plans to create one and will not do so without direction from Congress. Do you believe that?

Do you believe that? They'll get direction from Biden. Congress doesn't do anything but hold show trials anymore. Come on, it's a clown show. It's an absolute clown show. They're not going to get their stuff together and do that. So don't be lulled into a sense of security by Jerome Powell saying, well, if Congress tells it. No.

If Biden tells you to, will you do it? That's the key thing. The direction is going to come from him. It's already coming from him. They already are running the pilot program, which they had already written. You know, this is just going through the motions, right? They didn't say, oh, well, you know, we got that report. It says we should proceed with CBDC.

So I guess we should get busy and write some code to do this. No, they had that code written. I'm sure they had that code written even before he put out his order in March. CBDCs can be roughly divided into two types, says Wall Street Journal. Those that are designed for use by financial institutions, those that are designed for use by the general public.

That's referred to in most of these nations' plans as wholesale and retail. Wholesale meaning that it's within the banking industry. And they can sell to them and say, look at this. This is great. We can speed up the processing of checks and do this internationally and all the rest of this. See, this is much better, isn't it?

And then the next step, they shoot them in the head. Seriously. I mean, the institutional. Shoot the institution in the head. This is corporate fascism. This was Adolf Hitler's plan. He said, the, uh, he said, uh, Stalin did it wrong. He went out and nationalized industries first.

I'm going to use them to gain control and then I'll take it over. We'll do it as the last thing we do. Hitler and Stalin both'll take it over. We'll do it as the last thing we do. Hitler and Stalin both called themselves socialists, but that's what this is. You know, they're going to say, well, we're going to use the banks to help us, the local banks, credit unions, and other things. We're going to do this for them and say, isn't that nice? Look at how quickly we can change this stuff. And then at some point they'll say, now let's do it, go straight to the customers. So there are no banks in between. And the Federal Reserve is used to choke us down.

Look, the Federal Reserve has been used to choke us down from the very beginning. Don't ever forget that the Federal Reserve and the income tax were created together to do internal taxation. That was not the main way that our government was funded, with internal taxation. That was not the main way that our government was funded, with internal taxation. And the way our government was set up, the federal government was supposed to be funded by money that was sent by the states.

They would give them appropriations in the same way that NATO is funded or the UN is funded or the World Health Organization is funded. You have the independent sovereign states who will send money, and that is their budget. Imagine if you had the World Health Organization or NATO or the UN directly send you a bill, a tax bill, and they had their own enforcement arm, like the IRS.

Well, that's essentially what was done with the income tax in 1913, going for direct taxation of individuals. That was one of the things that was so outrageous about it. Of course, the model had been for the growth of the United States to have a free trade zone, to have a government that's small enough to fit inside the Constitution that could be funded by trade at the borders. And as Jefferson said in his first term, we eliminated these useless offices that had been put in by Adams.

And so we were able to cut taxes so that no farmer, laborer, mechanic knows the tax plan. Exactly the opposite under Woodrow Wilson. We're going to have every farmer, laborer mechanic knows the taxman exactly the opposite under woodrow wilson we're going to have every farmer laborer under the thumb of the internal revenue service so that's where they want to go the digital version of fiat money to kill all the banks so the wall street journal says a question of control at this point the average person is probably wondering why in the world, why in a world in which billions of people have become accustomed to paying for things

with electronic payment system already, why does anyone need a digital version of their currency? Same thing that one of the Fed governors said. Right now, I can send any of you money through Venmo or whatever. Of course, I can't do that because I've already been purged out of the system, which is where this thing is going, which is why this is a hot-button issue with me, and it should be with you.

If you understand what happened to me, what happened to the Freedom Convoy in Canada, what is happening to gun owners and gun stores as they put the noose around their neck with Operation Chokepoint, you better understand where this is headed. So why do you need that? Well, the Wall Street Journal says the answer to that question depends on the motivations of the central banker or the analyst or the academic that you ask.

Many who study digital currencies argue that the most basic level, a digital currency, is all about control. Megan Green, global chief economist at the risk and financial advisory firm Kroll says, there's a worry that if we don't launch a digital currency in the U S or Europe, China will set all the standards for them. And then we will be at a disadvantage. We would have a central bank digital currency gap. Can't let that happen.

So we're going to take the lead. We can't have a nuclear gap, so we'll take the lead. We can't have a bioweapon gap, so we'll take the lead. And we can't have a CBDC gap, so we'll take the lead. Also, digital currencies like crypto really scared the excrement out of central bankers. Well, oh, okay. So that's why we need it because of central bankers are scared about their ability to control us with imaginary money that they print out of thin air. They don't even bother to print it anymore. They create the digital credits as

Jerome Powell said, we couldn't print that much. Like I said, you take a stack of $1 bills and, uh, you know, for $3.7 trillion that Trump spent. You'd go to the moon and a little bit back if you stack those things on top of each other. So fear is the potential of cryptocurrencies to wrest control of the creation and transfer of money from central banks, leaving them without the tools they currently have for preventing their respective economies from running too hot or too cold. Wall Street Journal portrays it as if the central bankers are a necessary, benevolent control system.

They are a self-interested, destructive force, have been from their inception. J.P. Morgan sold the idea of the Federal Reserve based on the idea we're going to shut down these boom and bust cycles, these runs on the banks and so forth. And what do we get? Right away, we got the Great Depression. No, no, they are afraid of cryptocurrencies, and they are focused on them. Even less malign applications of digital currencies could lead to all sorts of unintended consequences, though, says Wall Street Journal. The more complex and capable designers of a digital currency, the more complex they make it, the system, the greater the possibility that it could be manipulated in ways that designers didn't anticipate. Oh, you think? You mean kind of like our supply chain system

that is incredibly complicated and strung out and now it's all breaking in different places in different ways and it continues to break after Trump threw the monkey wrench into it? We're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back. Harps says the issuing of driver's licenses was the start of all this. I agree. We should have said no to them. I agree. We should have said no to them when they wanted our social security number.

We should have said no to them when they want our fingerprints, when they want our biometric data. I mean, it's amazing. Every time I get a driver's license moving to another state, it's amazing how they up this. And I came here to Tennessee and they said, well, you know, you're going to, you're going to get a gold star with your license. It's like a gold star back in elementary school or something. Well, if you don't have a gold star on your driver's license, you know, because we, I mean, and it was a pain in the neck to get all the documentation together.

Oh, it's just amazing. How much I had a passport, had a driver's license, had all this stuff. So, and it's getting that way. That's why I say it's, I don't like dealing with cryptocurrency Coinbase or these other places that are there. And there's a, you know, I've got to change. If you leave tips, I've got to change them and rockfin from uh their they created a cryptocurrency

they put the money there and pay me in a cryptocurrency then i got to change that into ethereum and then i and at coinbase and i got to get it out of coinbase and they're as bad as the department of motor vehicles are worse because they're trying to choke everybody out with this stuff she said yeah you get a gold star which means that you won't be able to fly domestically the Department of Motor Vehicles are worse because they're trying to choke everybody out with this stuff. She said, yeah, you get a gold star, which means that you won't be able to fly domestically unless you have a license with a gold star or a passport. And she said that was going to kick in this year, 2023. They've delayed it for one year.

They are tightening down the controls of our movements. This is, they're tightening down what we can own. And the ban on cars is the key part of this. They could easily control all of our movement through buses and trains and planes. So the automobile was our get out of jail free card. And they're coming after that real hard as they're going to be pushing out CBDC. So David Knight, gold. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

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.

I appreciate the tip on RockFan. I want to talk about Davos here briefly before we get into it, I was just talking about the World Health Organization and their designs on controlling everybody about everything with a declared pandemic about the central and Bilderberg. We're talking about whether or not our politicians have loyalty to America or whether they're loyal to foreign organizations or to foreign governments. We have a lot of questions about that, don't we, with Biden and Ukraine and the rest of this. And I think it's kind of interesting to see where Kevin McCarthy proudly stated that he made his very first speech. Hi, this is Speaker Kevin McCarthy. There is no greater relationship than American and Israel relationship,

and I want to prove a point to you why. This is my very first speech as Speaker, and this is where I'm giving it, because my commitment is always to make this bond even stronger, and I look forward to being right back in Israel later this year with all the new freshmen. And he said that at the AIPAC, American-Israeli Political Action Committee. It was Trump who said Israel owns Congress, and rightfully so. He applauded that. That is exhibit A, Kevin McCarthy bragging about how his first loyalty is not to America, but to a foreign country.

If you don't, if you have any questions about Davos and whether or not these people would sell you out to this cartoon Bond villain that looks like Blofeld and talks like Blofeld and acts like Blofeld, if you got any question that they would sell you out, look at how many times and in how many ways they have sold you out to one agenda or one country after the other. And so let's talk about Ukraine. Because as all of this stuff is kicking off, and I don't know if Zelensky is going to zoom in to Davos. I would imagine that he would. He did send his wife. Perhaps she can do some shopping while she's in Switzerland. She's famous for that. It's been $40,000 in an hour in Paris. But Ukraine put out this video talking about what Ukraine was going to be like in 2030. Now they're showing pictures of war that is happening in Russia.

You hear this in Ukraine. It's going to switch to English here in a minute. Refugees, people moving. Let's look eight years ahead. Let's look eight years ahead. 2030. The history of the new Ukraine is studied all over the globe. Why?

Because Ukraine became the most digital and convenient country in the world. Scripts have replaced bureaucrats. 500,000 former public servants are successfully integrated in the world. Scripps have replaced bureaucrats. 500,000 former public servants are successfully integrated in the new economy. No more red tape, but paperless. No more banknotes, but cashless. Yes, we became the first country to abandon paper money. Ukraine now has the best tax system for the IT industry and the most affordable e-residency. Thanks to Ukrainian engineers and programmers, the R&D centers of the world's top technology companies operate successfully, and Ukraine ranks first in the world

by the number of startups per capita. Ukrainian courts are guided by artificial intelligence, and all notarial acts take place online. Ukrainian customs is fully automatic and the fastest in the world. Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone. fully automatic and the fastest in the world. Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone. Because of war and internal migration, we

have built the most flexible and modern digital education. Brave military and civilians get quality treatment with modern remote monitoring and e-health systems. Ukraine also has the most effective cyber defense in the world. After the horrors of 2022, Ukraine focused on security systems. Now every production facility has its air defense system, and the sleep of Ukrainians is protected by an ultra modern iron dome. The Ukrainian government is digital, more like an IT company in terms of the efficiency of implementing decisions. And one can register a land plot, start construction,

open a business or get a license, and register a car or real estate from a smartphone. Automatically, in one click. Ukraine is the freest and digital. This is all because international partners and the world's leading technology companies supported the Digital for Freedom initiative and united to help Ukraine recover through digitalization. Building a new Ukraine together, free and the fastest, brave and digital. So is the digitalization of Ukraine. And if you look at that video, it's got all the different aspects that the World Economic Forum has been talking about. Digitalization.

Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie Of everything. Is that about convenience? That's the way they're showing it to you. Or is it about

control? Is it about containment? It is a prescription for a wireless prison. Oh, you can register your car. You can do this. You can sell real estate. Guess what? If you are not approved by them, everything will have to be done electronically, which means that everybody's ID will be scanned and everything will be determined beforehand and they will shut down everything to you. That's the purpose of it.

It's not about making it more convenient. Not at all. It's about total, absolute control, just like CBDC. And if you look at that video, that two-minute video, they laid out everything that Davos is bragging about establishing the people. And saying, you know, after everything was destroyed, we built it back better. We built it back digital, with central control of everything. It was Arestovich who said, after five years of war,

after Zelensky had been elected on a campaign that we're going to stop this civil war that's been going on since the Obama administration engineered a coup in 2014. So in 2019, five years of war and death and people on both sides of this issue supported Zelensky because he said he's going to bring peace. And then his chief negotiator, Arestovich, was brought on to an Ukrainian show. And she said, so how are the peace talks going to be? Are we going to have peace? No, not a chance. What? Not a chance. It's going to get worse.

And three years from now, in 2022, we're going to have a war. And Ukraine is going to be destroyed. No, no, that can't be what she says, right? Oh, but it'd be good because that's the best thing because then we get into NATO. What? Yeah. The payoff for him and his cronies. Yeah.

All these people are selling us out just like Arestovich and Zelensky sold out the Ukrainian people. These people are selling us out to the UN, to the WHO, to Davos, and to any government that will pony up and support them, whether it is Israel or Ukraine or any of these other people. I mean, it's just disgusting to see this thing. So the World Economic Forum kicked off yesterday. They have five stated goals. See if you can see the trend here.

Addressing the current energy and food crises in the context of a new system for energy, climate, and food. Addressing the current high inflation, low growth, in the context of a new system for investment, trade, and infrastructure. Addressing the current industry headwinds in the context of a new system for investment, trade, and infrastructure. Addressing the current industry headwinds in the context of a new system for harnessing frontier technologies for private sector innovation and resilience. Addressing the current social vulnerabilities in the context of a new system for work, skills, and care. Addressing the current geopolitical risks in the context of a new system you see a trend there so a new system looks like it's in the works for us which is

what they want they don't like the old system they got a new system where they're in charge of everything and when you look at each one of these five things these are all crises that they created crises that are based on their agenda You want to address the current energy and food crisis? Who created the current energy and food crisis? It was NATO, Biden, the UN. You want to talk about the current high inflation, low growth, high debt? The central banks that want to control everything with a central bank digital currency? Who created the industry headwinds, the broken supply chains, all the rest of the stuff?

Trump and the rest of these people shutting everything down over the pandemic. Addressing the current social vulnerabilities. Who created the social civil war over silly things like pronouns and men wearing dresses and the rest of this stuff? All of this ESG stuff. Well, that's the S part of it. Elon Musk put out a thing, said, you know what? The S doesn't stand for social and ESG stuff. Well, that's the S part of it. Elon Musk put out a thing, said, you know what? The S doesn't stand for social and ESG. It stands for satanic.

I guess he would know since he likes to dress up like in a Baphomet costume. It's just amazing. People are falling for that already, just like they fell for Trump. It's amazing to me. See people falling for Elon. He's our hero. He's calling it like it is. Well, yeah, sure. He knows because he's part of the inside. He's somebody who's been technocrat loyalty. His grandfather kicked out of Canada because he tried to overthrow the democratic government and set up a technocracy. He's technocracy royalty.

He knows how to give these governments what they want in terms of ESG, but especially the E. He became the richest man in the world selling this E garbage to everybody. And of course, as far as the satanic part of it goes, he's telling us we've got to merge with machines if we're going to survive the artificial intelligence that he's creating how evil is that he's the one who thinks that transhumanism is the future that we're going to live forever that he's going to travel to Mars and the rest of this stuff yeah yeah but

he's calling out these other people as satanic his partners his friends addressing the current geopolitical risks. What are those? Oh, that's the war they started. Everything is their crisis created, and their solution is a new system. So who's there? It's kind of interesting, as I said, Schwab was saying, well, I'm not going to be there the first day.

I think he did make a speech the first day, but he, he, uh, set up and said, I'll be there the second day. The guy's in his eighties. I think he's 83 or something like that. Soros canceled out. It's kind of funny what Soros said. He said, well, I just realized I got a scheduling conflict. February the 16th, one month away from, uh, now, you know,

when the thing kicked off yesterday, you got a scheduling conflict a month from now. Uh, you know, he's in his nineties. Is he seen as Biden? No, something else is going on. So that's what a lot of people were saying. It's that is there going to be a, um, a lot of people have opted out of this thing is, are they concerned that there's going to be some kind of a pushback or an attack? I don't know. I don't have any evidence of that. But anyway, this is the first time they've gone back to their usual January scheduling at the usual place.

They did a Zoom meeting in 2020. They did a postponed last year. They did it in May. But now, you know, now they're back. You have people like Chrystia Friedland, remember her? Giving us a preview of central bank digital currency. She knows exactly what this stuff is for because that's what she did. She confiscated the accounts of people that she didn't like

who were criticizing the politics of Justin Trudeau and the pandemic. So as the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and as the Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland also has divided loyalties. She sits on the World Economic Forum's Board of Trustees, and she loves to talk about stakeholder capitalism. You also have, and this is Jordan Schachtel, who got a list of the people who will be attending. And on that list of this year,

you have the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, the FBI Director, Christopher Wray will be at Davos. The U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, that's a CIA front group. Samantha Powers is now at the front of that CIA front group. She'll be there. You have a trade representative of the U.S. delegation. You have John Kerry, our special presidential envoy for climate, will be there. In Germany, you have Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as far as the EU goes.

You have Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. You have the president of the European Parliament will be there, many others. But in the U.S., the list is kind of interesting. You have Chris Coons, Joaquin Castro. This is an up-and-coming, you know, the Castro family out of Texas, out of San Antonio. There's twins, and the mother is a Marxist, racist. La Raza is where she hung out, but these guys guys you're going to see a lot of them coming up they're everywhere the Castro twins

kind of reminds me kind of reminds me of those two hit men and Breaking Bad you know the Castro twins are just going to show up anyway I thought it was kind of interesting Gretchen Whitmer is going to be there she served their interests very well.

She was really able to get her tyrant on. But I thought it was kind of interesting, these two senators showing up, Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema. You know, when we had a 50-50 split in the Senate and the Democrats narrowly kept control because of Lala Harris, the vice president, being able to cast the deciding vote if it was split along party lines. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema took the opportunity to promote themselves and their agendas by being the deciding vote on many, many issues. They are the opportunity. Stop and think about it.

You know, there's 50 Democrats. But it was these two that decided that they were going to hijack their own party. That's how ambitious they are. And so, of course, they would be at Davos, wouldn't they?

At LiveScoreBet, 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 if your horse loses on a selected race. That's how we celebrate

And they're going to be promoting themselves, not our interests there. Again, Gretchen Whitmer on the Republican side. You've got Mike Gallagher, a Republican from Wisconsin. You have Maria Salazar from Florida, Congresswoman. Former news caster. Maria Salazar from Florida, congresswoman, former newscaster, has already been a lot of concern about her political philosophies. Now we know. She'll be at Davos.

Daryl Issa is a regular attendee of the World Economic Forum, Republican from California. The richest congressperson. and that's saying something, Daryl Issa. So he will be at Davos as well. Zelensky's wife is scheduled. No word as to when he will be Zooming in digitally, but you also have the Ukraine Digital transformation minister, Fedorov. They have a minister for digital transformation, just like the Netherlands has a minister for getting rid of nitrogen everywhere.

No, it's not about getting rid of nitrogen. It's about getting rid of the farmers. It's about getting rid so that you can get rid of meat and dairy so that you can put people on soylent bugs. That's what it's about. I don't see anything in terms of the Ukrainian delegation. The Ukrainian national bank head will be there. I don't see that Hunter Biden is going to be there. I mean, he is a big player in Ukraine.

He is a Ukrainian entrepreneur, if ever there was one, right? Energy expert. Money laundering expert. All the rest of the stuff. No, I don't see that he's going to be there. Anyway, they are expecting to have 56 finance ministers, 19 governors of central banks, 30 ministries of commerce, 35 ministers of foreign affairs, 52 heads of state and government. Reports coin United.

Breitbart says there'll be people from the banking, finance, cryptocurrencies, climate, racism industries. That is an industry, you know. It's a big industry. They're talking about they put a price tag on black reparations as san francisco commission came up with what they want five million for each black person that qualifies it's an entitlement program so what's the upper limit on that we don't know one economist has put it at one and a half trillion dollars so yeah racism is an industry

climate definitely is an industry. Artificial intelligence, workplace robotics, global governance, cybercrime, all the rest of this stuff. And of course, the key theme under it, digitalization and ESG, which is crony capitalism for global governance. BlackRock's CEO will be there, even though they have lost a lot of investments lately. The headline was a little bit misleading. They said BlackRock loses 1.5 trillion. No, they didn't lose that. Their assets under management disappeared to that because they had a lot of states have said, if you're going to push this ESG stuff, we're going to pull our investments out of it. And they really have a fiduciary responsibility to do that.

Some state attorneys general have said, if a corporation says that ESG is going to be our guiding star, that means that they're not interested in making a profit, which really should be a violation of the Security and Exchange Commission. If you set up a company and you sell shares in it, you're selling those shares based on your efforts to make money for the investors. But these people don't care about that. They don't care about shareholders.

They want to become stakeholders, which means that they want to be partners in crime with these governments. They want to have a stake in the future. They want to be stakeholders. That's why I talk about stakeholder capitalism. Stakeholder capitalism is not concerned about performance, financial performance. It's not concerned about making sales. It's not concerned about cutting costs and improving production,

all the things that have given us a better life. No. Stakeholder capitalism and ESG is simply about towing the line for their government masters so they've got a place at the table, a stake at the table as stakeholders. So BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is probably the most well-known of these, but he's certainly not the only one. There's three companies that have about $30 trillion of assets under management. They've lost, BlackRock has lost $1.5 trillion of their stake in that. But another person that's, one person that's not going to be

there, I should say, BlackRock will be there, Larry Fink. One person that will not be there is Sam Bankman-Fried. He is somehow otherwise engaged. I'm sure that he would have been there. Salesforce chair is going to be there. J.P. Morgan, Chase CEO, Jamie Diamond, or Demon, depending on your perspective. Citigroup CEO, Jane Frazier, is going to be there. You're going to have the CEOs of both Pfizer and Moderna, Albert Borla, Stefan Bonsall, respectively. They're going to be there. Guess who else is going to be there?

Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner. What's he in charge of? Trump. In charge of Donald Trump. Davos is a grift and a cult, but it's also a bid for global domination. This is from Michael Schellenberger. He says it's a Ponzi scheme, but it's also a cult.

I think that we understand where these people are coming from and if you want to call it a cult that's fine, some people want to say well it's not a conspiracy they're open about it no, I think truly we understand where this is coming

and if you look at these types of things truly it is satanic they want to destroy humanity they want to destroy humanity. They want to control humanity. They want to get inside of us and manipulate it, as Yuval Harari has said. So, yes, it is a satanic agenda. And if you look at this, these old men, Soros in his 90s, Henry Kissinger about to turn 100. You got, you know, Klaus Schwab.

They think they're going to live forever. But even though they don't, you look at this global agenda. Some people call it the bloodlines of the Illuminati. They'll talk about that type of thing. I think simply it's much simpler than that. These people have made Faustian bargains with the devil one way or the other. I don't think the devil appeared to them and had them sign a contract, as you see in the place.

But they have made that bargain that they will sell their soul for this. And they're rewarded in this life. The devil has the power to reward people in this life. And if you look at everything they're focused on, it's a lie. It's a lie designed to attack the human race. And that's one of the reasons why I think that it is ultimately behind it, satanic. It is a consistent strategy that persists from generation to generation, even though these people are not handing it off to their kids. They don't want kids. They hate humans.

There is a satanic force behind this. The World Economic Forum publishes global risk reports before every meeting. This year they have reduced it. They usually do a 2, 5, and a 10. This year they do a 2 and a 10. Talking about what is going to be coming, they see an emphasis this year on environmental catastrophe, societal collapse, and soaring inflation.

All of these things, they're foreshadowing this and outlining how environmental threats, the fear of what's going on with the environment, is going to be used by them to engineer societal collapse, used by them to create massive inflation. Again, inflation is not simply the printing of money. You can create inflation by artificial scarcity, just as we've seen with oil and other things.

So the environmental concerns don't reflect what ordinary people are concerned about, but it doesn't matter because they're going to continue to push this relentlessly. The World Economic Forum, as LifeSite News says, is of course inspired by the kind of post-human futurism popularized by people like Yuval Harari, presaging a future in which humans effectively become cybernetic organisms. Don't be afraid of him. Don't be afraid of this agenda. I like to look at Yuval Harari making his speeches, because every time I see him, I see a guy who thinks that he's Goliath, and the appropriate response to this little bragging mouth about how he's going to rule all humanity. And he typically does it.

He's Jewish, but he's an atheist. He's a homosexual. He's got a big problem with God. And so he does it. He pushes his post-human society. He always pushes this by mocking the Bible. You know, we will set the rules. We will have a Noah's Ark.

I'll be on the Ark. You won't. You know, that type of thing. I look at him. At LiveScoreBet, 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 responsibly. 18 plus gamblingcare.ie. And what I see is a bragging Goliath standing there, taunting people. And little David comes up and says, who are you? You unwashed Philistine

to threaten the armies of the living God. And so when I see Yuval Harari out there making his idle threats, and when he takes on God as part of that, he's not threatening me. He's threatening God. God can take care of himself. And God can take care of Yuval Harari, the World Economic Forum, and that is where our battle is. We have mighty weapons.

We have weapons that are mightier than their technology, weapons that are mightier than their propaganda, if we are connected to God, if we are Christians. He's pushing total state surveillance, abolition of private property, and all the rest. We see this all the time. As LifeSite News says, the rejection of God, notably by the omission of any mention of Christianity

from the new constitution of the European Union, and one aspect of the post-human agenda, another aspect of the post-human agenda, is moral inversion, which is a result of abolition of any wider moral framework other than simply individual desire. They point out this is an ideology that includes a rejection of every meaningful discussion

of human experience beyond the self and its desires. Weren't we told 2,000 years ago that in the last days people will become lovers of self? Oh, you can see that in spades with all these people at the World Economic Forum. And that is what they want to sell to all of us. That is the bait. Oh, look, you know, just take the number. Look at all the convenience that you'll have.

Otherwise, you'll have nothing. The moral decline of the West that you'll have. Otherwise, you'll have nothing. The moral decline of the West is a genuine crisis of humanity, not the World Economic Forum, not the UN, not the WHO. It's the moral decline of the West. And we address that person by person, individual by individual. The World Economic Forum sees this as an opportunity to usher in a post-human cybernetic future because it's ultimately satanic. Once we turn our backs on God, we have no protection.

We turn our backs on God, we are at the mercy of Yuval Harari, Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab. We have no protector at that point. And it gets worse after this life. So where did this all start? Well, they like to talk about how this began in the 1960s. You had people like Henry Kissinger and John Kenneth Galbraith bringing in Klaus Schwab, helping him to get set up. People like Zbigniew Brzezinski, not mentioned in this LifeSite News article, but Zbigniew Brzezinski talked about the fact in the 1970s. He said, we are between two ages.

There is a coming technocratic age where we will know everything that you're going to do in advance. It'll be an age of total surveillance. He proposed creating a world, a centralized world, government, governance. And to do it with a trilateral commission. You know, first we'll consolidate Europe. We'll consolidate Asia. We'll consolidate North America. Then we'll join those three pieces together.

His daughter, Mika Brzezinski, is still out there. But you know, when you look at this, it truly is kind of an economic version of Operation Paperclip, isn't it? I mean, the Germans and these authoritarians tried world domination twice by military might. Then they got more dangerous and they decided they would do it by economics. And that's why the World Economic Forum. Kissinger introduced Klaus Schwab to John Kenneth Galbraith. And Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon were at the center of all this. Isn't it interesting?

You know, Nixon is at the center of the creation of the EPA of the department of energy on and on and on. I talk about somebody who is a backstabbing SOB, Richard Nixon. It always surprised me that Roger Stone, uh, basically stabbing himself in the back with a tattoo of Nixon's face. Like what's the matter with Roger? Doesn't he get the big picture here yet maybe he does maybe he does maybe Trump has a big picture as well maybe all those

guys do so he definitely got a big picture of Richard Nixon on his back it's like yeah I know Nixon was stabbing me in the back just like he did every other American. He didn't leave behind his image, though. Every time I just think of the Futurama thing and Nixon's head in a jar. Oh, Nixon's back. Yeah, well, you know,

they have a new term for this. What they've created, multiple crises. They call it polycrisis. Oh, wow, isn't that clever? We have many crises that we have created. I just talked about five of them. Each of them is going to require a new system. But you know, their polycrisis is kind of like polytics.

You know, many parasites is involved in that. Or you could also, to use a less polite term, you could call it a cluster. You know what? That's what these people are setting up. 2,658 of the elite people. I like what one group called it. They called it gold collar workers. Gold collar workers.

Blue collar. Not white collar. They got gold collars. They want to put collars on the rest of us too, don't they? So you got all the soldiers protecting them in Switzerland. So I don't really think that they were afraid of attack. I think that this is just their usual way of doing business. We're going to take a quick break,

and when we come back, we will continue with the news. Eric Peters is going to join us in the third hour. Thank you, Nick, for the tip on Rockfin. Stephen Kaspar, my neighbor is a truck driver. He works for a company, so he always has work, but independent drivers that work with him aren't being given work. Some of them haven't worked in three weeks. This is a key thing that is happening. California has been at the forefront of this, trying to drive out a business, independent truckers, independent contractors. They don't want to have any small businesses. They don't want to have, you know, that that's one of the few small businesses out there, like the ones that were attacked by Trump during the lockdown

as being non-essential. You know, you have people who set up nail salons and barbershops and things like that because there's not much that's left to Americans because of the globalist attacks and Wall Street financing, endless financing and government assistance and government monopolies. That's why everybody says, that's it. I'm not going to try to make a better product. I can't win that way. I'll win by pleasing the government. Let me just focus on ESG.

But you look at restaurants, you know, people were able to still make a lot of money with restaurants. You have independent truckers. Those have to be strangled out as well. At LiveScoreBet, 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 if your horse loses on a selected race.

18plusgamblingcare.ie It is definitely a plan. We'll be right back. Thank you. I'm going to go. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind. All right, let's talk about the news. And it's important that we understand some of the methods that are still available to us in terms of stopping this. As I mentioned before, you had a lot of sheriffs in Illinois saying that they will not enforce this new assault weapons ban that's been rushed through the state government, controlled completely by Democrats and signed into law by Pritzker. The other day I reported there's 50 sheriffs,

and there's only slightly over 100 counties, 102 to be exact. Well, now that number has gone up to 80 sheriffs. So 80 counties out of 102 counties, the sheriff says, we're not going to enforce that. We're not going to enforce that law. not going to enforce that law this is how we stop them nullification at the local level we stop them from the grassroots up there's more of us than there are of them yes they may go down the route that hugo de garis talked about he said once people realize what these people are trying to do with this and he was just talking about artificial intelligence but of course it applies to all

of these technologies genetics robotics artificial intelligence nanotechnology but also surveillance and the means to control us through cbdc and that type of thing, digitizing our financial system for complete control. Once people realize what that is, Hugo de Garra said, they're going to push back. And he called it the art of like war because he's focused on artificial intelligence. And he said the elites who control that will unleash war on the rest of us, even positing that, well, to escape us, they will have to use their technology to get into a near-Earth orbit,

something like a Lagrange Libration Point that Bezos has focused on. These orbiting space stations like you've seen in the movie Elysium, that they would go up to these space stations and then they would wage war with us with their superior technology. He called them cosmos and terrorists. I mean, that may be the path that this goes. I don't know. A lot of people are going to die if that happens.

He says, yeah, that would result in giga death. Nevertheless, we have something that we can do about this. We can do it peacefully. We can peacefully shut these people down. And we have to do it soon if it doesn't get to keep it from turning into some kind of a violent thing like that. We just have to refuse to comply. We have to refuse to do what they order us to do. So the assault weapons ban targets commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, requires those who already own such rifles to register them with the Illinois State Police or to face fines up to $250,000.

Very, very hefty prison sentences as well. One sheriff said, part of my duties that I accepted upon being sworn into office. His name is Bo. I believe is the way he pronounced his last name. B-O-E-W-E. He says, upon being sworn into office, one of my duties is to protect the rights provided to all of us in the Constitution. One of those rights enumerated is the right of the people to keep and to bear arms. That's an uppercase.

Provided under the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms for defense of life, liberty, and property is regarded as an inalienable right of the people. And there's 80 other sheriffs who are saying the same thing out of 102 sheriffs. So maybe, you know, to get enforced in Cook County, right there around Chicago. Biden has suggested that cops should be trained to shoot to wound. He said this is part of a Martin Luther King breakfast that he was speaking at. I guess he thought that he was pandering to Black Lives Matter concerned about excessive police force. But, you know, the reality is here, shooting people to wound and to stop them,

this is not Hop hop along Cassidy. This is not the Christmas story with Ralphie and his BB gun. I had a guest once, and I used to have one frequently, and that was really the point of no return. He started talking about, yeah, we need to put the military down at the border, and when people come over, they just shoot them in the legs. It's's like are you kidding me uh that would be the hardest thing to hit it's a smaller target it's moving rapidly come on do you know anything about you know you're gonna make up stuff now biden is doing that he's not welcome on my show either b Biden made a statement that sounds like he believes that police officers should be trained to use their firearms for less than lethal force, says BearingArms.com. So he said, and since I know that anti-gun zealots won't take my word for it, I'll let an academic explain why this is idiotic. He says, anytime a firearm is discharged, it's considered to be deadly force,

said David Klinger, professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Shooting to injure or maim someone would not stop an aggressive subject, he said, and officers are trying to stop the threat to their life or to the life of their life or to the life of their partner or to a citizen. So why would we want to injure or maim people, he said? It doesn't stop them.

Again, even if you're able to do that. As I said before, when we're talking about the situation in Houston, right, there was under Houston law, and again, I had a, last week I had Dwight Mitchell on, he said, um, he's a firearms instructor as well as a CPS trying to help people with CPS. He said in New Jersey, uh, you're not allowed to act in defense of other people only in defense of yourself. So they have to be coming at you. You can't shoot them. Uh, that's not the law in Texas. And in Texas, you can shoot to protect other people.

And he was pointing the gun at other people. He was committing armed robbery. And he was part of a group and had been convicted of being part of a group that had killed a store owner in armed robbery, we found out later. And so it was perfectly justified for him to shoot i questioned you know i said no i think they're going to use this to come after him uh the fact that he kept shooting the guy when the guy was no longer moving as he went down to get his gun everything he gave him another pop well the reality is is that um that is what uh people are trained for. And I said, as we kind of bantered that around, I said, you know, that reminds me. Karen and I took a concealed carry class, and the instructor that we had was with the Secret Service,

and he gave us a story. He said, this is not the movies. You don't take one shot, and the the person goes down and that's it. He gave the story of three FBI agents arresting a guy who was a martial arts master. The three FBI agents in this perp were in a room together. And he started coming after them. They shot him. Severed one of the main arteries going to or coming from his heart. He bled out in 30 seconds, but before he bled out, he killed every one of them with his bare hands.

And that's what this guy is talking about. The instructor said, also, don't try a headshot. There's a lot of different bones there that can deflect the bullet in a lot of different ways, and it's really hard to get a good headshot. Again, it's a smaller target. They always shoot for center mass. Because of potential risks, says this article, this David Klinger, professor of criminology, criminal justice, it would be very difficult to train officers to shoot to wound. If someone's life is in jeopardy,

shooting to maim or injure will have little effect on the actions of the individual who is trying to kill. Additionally, if an officer aims at anything other than the torso area, the odds are that he or she will miss and increase greatly. But aiming for the chest means that that type of wound suspects usually sustain are likely to be fatal. Officers are trained to shoot with the understanding that one shot may not stop an aggressive subject like the story i just gave you and i think that is going to be a key essential for this houston case uh but you have um you know uh some um uh people in houston because he was white and the and the perp was black now you got these civil rights groups down there in houston uh demanding that um he be convicted of murder so it's going to be i don't know if houston if he can get a good jury there or not

The suspect had just stabbed his partner in the chest with a butcher knife. Immediately, he jumped on top of his partner and held the knife to his throat. Klinger called it a rookie mistake

when he tried to take the knife away from the suspect. Even after Klinger shot the suspect and the bullet pierced his left lung, his aorta, and his right lung, the suspect still continued to fight for at least another 30 seconds, just like I told you from our class. He said it took a total of six officers to subdue him and to get him to drop the knife.

If the man were armed with a gun instead of a knife, or if he knew how to fight, like that guy who killed the FBI agents, Klinger would have had to keep shooting because he would have continued to be a threat. So he ends this article with. Bearing arms. He says taking self-defense tips from Joe Biden. It's like taking diet tips from fill in the blank. But look, this is the same guy who years ago was saying, ladies. You don't want an AR.

You want a shotgun. And we had videos showing. Women shooting a shotgun and getting knocked backwards because of the kick, and they weren't expecting it. But there's very little kick on an AR. So that's a lot of pictures of women easily shooting an AR. And, of course, as vice president, he was pushing real hard to get everybody to use smart gun technology. Because I don't know if it's because he's an idiot or because he thinks you're an idiot.

He wants you to use a smart gun, which means that they can shut it off at any point. And that also means that it is a highly complex firearm, which has many different modes of failure. You don't want to have some things even more complicated than guns are. Kirby McGuff, thank you very much for the tip. He said, thanks, David. I've been listening to your show for almost two years now

and decided to make a contribution besides buying merchandise. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. That's what we have some sponsorship from Tony, and we have some sponsorship from APS, but the vast, vast majority of the money that we get comes from listeners voluntarily paying. So I appreciate that.

I hope you're enjoying the Appalachians as I do. Yes, I love it here. As grim as this horrifying technology that they use against us is just remember one day they will ultimately be used to the benefit of mankind. If we can find the truth out of this knowledge, keep up the good work. Yes. Technology is a two-edged sword. Um, I don't hate technology. I just hate the fact that the government has taken a monopoly of it. I went, I love technology. That's why I went into engineering

and technology has enriched my life in many different ways. Music is just one of them. And we'll talk about that. I've got a segment on music coming up that I really want to talk about. But before we get to that, let's talk about what's going on with schools. Yesterday, I talked about a study that showed that schools drive children to suicide. No doubt about it. It's a very detailed study. They said they control it a number of different ways, but you could see that on weekends, on summer breaks, and even as they bring schools back in, you would see it go up because there's bullying and the rest of this stuff that is happening. And it's not over gender. Bullying was always a part of the school experience. So it bothers me when I see all of these articles, as we've seen for the last couple of years, we just got to get the stools open again.

Like, no, we don't keep them closed. And people can see on zoom what is happening in their classroom for the first time. Keep these schools closed. That's the only thing about the pandemic that I thought was good was closing the schools. And our reason is saying school closures are still linked to learning loss nearly three years in the pandemic. Well, if that's true, that's better than the kind of humiliating bullying that happens as a course of all this. It's just straight out of the Lord of the Flies or English boarding schools or whatever. It doesn't have anything to do with transgenderism. That's the excuse that they use. They take something that's always been there, like bullying, and say, well, now we've got to push transgenderism on everybody so they won't bully people. Seriously? You really think it's

going to be the case? It's the same thing that they picked CO2. Why? Because it's ubiquitous. They picked a cold virus. Why? Because colds are ubiquitous. They push their pandemic. They push their climate change thing because CO2 is pandemic. They push their transgenderism on the kids because bullying is pandemic in the schools, and it drives the kids to suicide. So, yeah, I saw this video that the parent is taking the kid to school and the kid's like, oh, you're black. And I go, well, you like school. And the kid says, no, I like learning. I could relate to that. Uh, that was my experience in school. Gotta go here again. Can I just cut today and go learn something instead of all of this nonsense? So we got to stop demanding the kids get back to school. We got to start demanding

that schools close and stay closed. We need to take away their financing. Talking about closing things down. This is an interesting report that came out of the RARE Foundation, R-A-I-R Foundation. They said a whistleblower, and the guy is on record with his name, Dr. Andrew Huff, an EcoHealth Alliance whistleblower. He's blown the whistle on the EcoHealth Alliance that was involved with the gain-of-function stuff and the rest of the stuff. But he also says dozens of food processing plants suspiciously caught fire over the past year. He believes this is a campaign of sabotage. He's not saying who he thinks did it,

but he does believe that it is a campaign of sabotage and that it is not a coincidence. And why does he say it's not a coincidence? He had access to government information about simulating a food supply attack. The information comes from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's report. They call it the Food and Agriculture Sector Criticality Assessment Tool, FASCAT. And this also included a list of which places were particularly at risk.

And according to Huff, he said the U.S. government coordinated the attacks on the food facilities. But in addition, he said something remarkable happened. The hard disk with the Fast Cat data disappeared. I mean, somebody wipe it, you know, like with a cloth, like Hillary said? I don't know. Since then, there have been about 200 food factory attacks around the world, most of them in the U.S. But he said he had a backup of this fast cat system. And he started looking at the attacks. It turned out that the attacks exactly matched the places that have been labeled by the government as the most critical systems.

And he said he has contacted the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, but he's not received any response back. He says he knows that the FBI and the food industry have tried to investigate what he calls terrorist attacks. He said, but they're not getting anywhere. They don't like to admit that there are terrorist attacks, just like with this FAA situation last week. They don't like to admit that there was a hack. But again, you know, they're saying, well, now we have, it looks like two contractors, an anonymous person, tells them that two unnamed contractors were the ones who messed up that database and shut everything down from late Tuesday night to 9 a.m. in the morning.

The biggest shutdown, you know, all flights shut down, U.S., because of the warning system, the NOTAM warning system. But then an hour and a half later, Canada's NOTAM system, which operates independently of the U.S., experienced the same thing. Its NOTAM went down as well. So that is not a solution. That is not an answer. Well, it was two contractors working on this, and they did a live update to the database.

That doesn't explain what happened. This is the same method of attack, two separate systems. And after one of them went for 8 to 12 hours, then an hour and a half after it ended, the same approach was taken on the Canadian system. They don't want to admit that the system is vulnerable to attack. It's a complicated system. But of course, they also attacked it with the supply chain and the lockdown. As I mentioned briefly before, San Francisco's got a reparations committee.

They've now proposed giving $5 million to each black longtime resident for total and also total debt forgiveness. So they're going to wipe out all your debts. I guess if you've got a home loan or you've got a student loan or whatever, they'll pay off all your debts, plus give you $5 million in cash. They're going to pay you for the color of your skin. We've gone a long ways, haven't we, from Martin Luther King's dream of people being judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.

Now we're going to pay people for the color of their skin. Well, I've got an idea. I think I want to get reparations from Italy because my ancestors were enslaved by Romans. Is that okay? Can I get that from them? I mean, what is the statute of limitations? How many generations do we go back? Do we only go back a couple hundred years,

or can we go back two millennia? Two centuries or two millennia? San Francisco Republican Party Chairman John Dennis is talking about this system. It is absolutely insane. While neither San Francisco nor California formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, we never had slavery in California. But now the people of California are going to pay this to longtime residents.

You don't even have to be a longtime resident of America, right? You've got a lot of people who immigrated here from foreign countries that aren't white. You've got a lot of white people who immigrated here after slavery, and they would be paying for this. But it is rolling on, and as I look at this nationwide, Sheila Jackson Lee, who I think is from Houston, they had a Duke economist estimated that the reparations sufficient to end black Americans, quote, claims, total size, total size of the account. We're not talking about gross domestic product, but a $25 trillion for the third quarter, uh, the, the list of people that are there again, who knows how many are

going to qualify for this entitlement program? That's the whole point of an entitlement program. You don't know how many people are going to qualify for this. But it is interesting. I had not thought about this. I did point out that you have people coming after Benedict Cumberbatch because his distant ancestors owned a Barbados slave plantation. The slave trade was ended thanks to the efforts of William Wilberforce, a Christian who took on the biggest industry that had affected everything one way or the other. And he eventually prevailed. He shut down the trade system. And then just before he died, they ended slavery. When they ended slavery, they paid the people who had slaves on their plantation.

And there was no war. They spent less money than the North spent on ammunition in the Civil War to free the slaves. And now you have people in Barbados saying, well, we want that money back from Benedict Cumberbatch. But it's interesting because there's another high-profile individual whose family owned slaves. Her father admitted it. It's almost as a point of pride. He admitted, yeah, we're black, but we owned slaves. And that's Lala Harris.

Nobody's talking about getting any reparations from Lala Harris. How does that work? And again, when you put in the reparations, how does it work for somebody like Barack Obama, who, if his father is not the radical from Chicago, what was his name, Davis or something, if his father's really from Kenya, he doesn't have any ancestors who were enslaved,

and he's got a white mother. So does he get half the reparations with that? What about his kids? Do they get three-quarters of the reparations for that?

And now, The David Knight Show. APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device.

Get the APS Radio app today and listen wherever you go. All right, let's lighten it up a little bit. We've had some pretty heavy subjects. Let's talk a little bit about music. We have 7-Eleven stores are now blaring classical music to deter homeless individuals from loitering around their stores. And it's working. Who knew? I've seen this happening before. There were some convenience stores that were not happy about kids loitering around them. They decided they would play Barry Mantelow, and that sent them running for the hills. I think that's a pretty broad demographic, you know, running for the hills, listening to Barry Manilow. Uh, but of course they also found that with the younger demographics, they could play, um, what they call mosquito stuff, but very high frequency pitch that you lose your ability to hear a high frequency pitch at a, at a fairly

young age. So this is, if they're coming after teenagers, that is something that is specifically targeted to their demographic and it wouldn't bother other people. But in this situation here, 7-Eleven stores, again, we're going back to Texas. This is in Austin. In Austin, Texas, and in multiple California cities, the homeless crisis has jeopardized the safety of local residents and of small business owners. Yeah, Austin.

The new California. What a call to place. Anyway, Jack Patel, a 7-Eleven store owner in the Riverside neighborhood of Austin, recently started playing loud opera music to dissuade homeless people from hanging outside the storefront. And they don't come back until the fat lady sings and it's over. Studies have shown that classical music is annoying, said Patel. Opera is annoying. And I'm assuming that they're correct because it's working. Yeah, you could say that about opera, but I don't know. Classical music, that's used quite a bit in terms of music therapy

for people who have cognitive issues or dementia or other things like that. It's even used, they found, that makes cattle in dairy farms happier if they hear Mozart and things like that. So I'm not so sure about that. But the opera, that may be another story. That is something of an acquired taste, I think. I'm not a big opera fan. I've been able to dig, I guess, a couple of operatic pieces, but for the most part, it's a genre that I don't hang out in. One customer who works near Patel's store and as a customer told Fox 7 that he had to start carrying a knife due to how dangerous the area had become. He says that he welcomes the loud music

after noticing that it reduced some of the safety issues in the area. He said, now since they've had this music going, we've got less traffic down here and the homeless are out of here. It's helping out. It's not annoying to us because it doesn't bother us, but it bothers probably them because they're doing drugs. I don't know. When you're on drugs and you hear Wagner, what you're picturing here. But one person is not very happy about it just because of how loud it is and because of the time of day, early, that they're playing this. The person said, not that I don't love classical music, but this is just rude. So for the past few years in California, 7-Eleven store owners have been using this,

sounds of Pavarotti or Beethoven, Beethoven didn't do opera that I know of anyway, to deter transient individuals from causing problems for their establishments. In North Hollywood, one 7-Eleven worker told NBC4 in 2019 that the store started using classical music. Once they did, she noticed more customers were coming in because they felt safer. Well, I don't know, but some music that I think is universally loved. This would not work to play John Williams music to scare people away. But hopefully we're going to be getting more John Williams music to scare people away. But hopefully we're going to be getting more John Williams music. He had announced in the fall that at the age of 90, he was going to retire from doing film

scores. He said it's too, you know, it's very precise work. So a lot of people don't like to do it, but, um, you know, he's very good at it. Uh, but he just decided, well, at 90, I've always wanted to write, you know, concert pieces for orchestras. And he did a stint as the conductor for the Boston Pops, if you remember, it was back in the 80s or 90s. And so I guess he was thinking he might, you know, just write orchestral compositions or something. But now he's decided already that he's going to come out of retirement. Spielberg himself seemed surprised to hear that.

Spielberg said, I better figure out what I'm going to do next. Williams went on to add that Spielberg is impossible to say no to and notes that Spielberg's own father worked past 100. So Williams said, well, I've got 10 years to go. The Fableman, which was just put out, and of course he's in the fall when John Williams hit his 90th birthday, he was talking about the fact that this was going to be his last film, and

he was scoring the latest Indiana Jones thing where they transition Indiana Jones to a woman. Basically what they're going to be doing. That was going to be his last film. But The Fablemans, the one before that, was the 29th film that Spielberg and Williams had worked together on. Their first one was The Sugarland Express. And that goes back 50 years. Williams has had 52 Oscar nominations.

That is an all-time record. And out of those 52 nominations, 17 of those nominations were for Spielberg films. And he has had five wins in terms of Oscars. And three of those five wins have been for Spielberg films. Jaws, E.T., and Schindler's List, which I don't think are even his best scores, personally. But when I look at Spielberg's films, and most of these, when you see the title of Jurassic Park, for example, at least I hear the music in my head. I think that is the thing that really brings it to life because film is a visceral medium. And so I think that John Williams has had as much to do with the success of a steel,

Steven Spielberg's films as Spielberg himself, maybe more in my opinion, because you take a look at jaws jaws without the score of a stupid movie. The, the, the shark was not scary, but it was that score, you know, that dun dun dun dun. And I think that was the beginning of their collaboration where he, you know, Spielberg had a particular thing in mind, and Williams said, no, that's not going to work. Let's do it like this. And it worked.

And I think that's one of the reasons why he likes to work with Spielberg, because Spielberg lets him follow, trusts his judgment, because who wouldn't at this point? But that was an early understanding that they had. You know, that was one of the things about Alfred Hitchcock. He always worked with Bernard Herrmann. Bernard Herrmann did Psycho. I mean, how iconic can you get when that's as iconic as Jaws? They did a lot of great scores, really great scores. North by Northwest, Vertigo. I'm sure I'm leaving a bunch of them out, but the two of them had a partnership.

You know, he basically did all of Hitchcock's films and then they had a falling out because Hitchcock decided at some point later on, now we need to have this kind of music. And Bernard Herrmann says, no, that's not going to do it. Bernard Herrmann had a big career as well, uh, doing stuff for, um, I think it was a Twilight Zone. I don't think it was Outer Limits. I think it was a Twilight Zone. I don't think it was Outer Limits. I think it was a Twilight Zone. And, you know, he really made, back in the early days of television,

they were able to get Bernard Herrmann to do scores. You don't have that anymore. But anyway, it is kind of interesting. Glad that we'll be seeing more music from John Williams. Alexander Graham Bell's recordings are going to be restored. This is the guy who started it all, the technology. It's kind of interesting because they had a lot of different recording media.

They had 300 experimental audio recordings made by Alexander Graham Bell in his lab between 1881 and 1892. These are some of, if not the oldest, sound recordings,

and they have never been heard before because they put them on extremely fragile media. They were experimenting with what kind of media they could use. So they used a lot of different things. Some of them they invented. Some of them they stored pretty much everything. They said the sound recordings, the devices used to record and play them, their notes. They all sent that. They sent all that stuff to the Smithsonian.

Because they wanted to have a clear path to show if they filed any patent applications. They wanted to say, well, here's when we gave it to the Smithsonian, and we got there first. The recordings were never published. They quickly became unplayable as the devices stopped working, and the delicate materials used by the recordings were far too fragile to even attempt to play. But now with new optical scanning technology, you've got Lawrence Berkeley National Labs have created a virtual stylus to play these things non-destructively.

Some of them were even recorded on paper in a kind of audio braille. Very fragile. So they're going to, they got a project that's going to go over three years. They have a grant to do this. So they're going to go back and resurrect these 300 recordings that started it all. The investigators have already been able to recover about 20 of these Volta recordings going back about 11, 12 years ago. Sound recovery work uses a non-invasive optical technique first conceived by the Berkeley Lab staff in 2002,

jointly developed in collaboration with the Library of Congress, and they have a grant to push that. And I'll just say one last thing. This is not about music, but when I saw this story, it kind of made me stop and think about how we are cut off from even the physical world around us, let alone the spiritual world that is there all the time, but just the physical world. Because sometimes technology and innovations can isolate us from that. And I think this is something that has escalated so much in my lifetime as we look at the effect

of cell phones and the internet, how people are getting isolated from each other, connected only to the phone, only to the internet. People can, you know, sit together at a table in a restaurant, and they're all staring at their phone instead of talking to each other. In this story, in a 1994 blackout in L.A., they had a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that took out all the power at 4.30 in the morning. So people woke up, it's still dark, and they saw the sky, which they couldn't see before with all the lights. As they say in the story, it was flush with cosmic bodies that had been invisible up to

that point. Twinkling stars, clustered galaxies, distant planets, even a satellite or two. Some of the people became nervous. What was that large silvery cloud trailing over the city? It looked so sinister they called 9-11. Well, it was the Milky Way. And these people who had lived in the city under city lights all their life had never seen the Milky Way.

So this is the type of, you know, what's going to happen when Musk gets his tens of thousands of satellites up there in a grid? Are we going to see the Milky Way at that point? I got to say, one of the listeners said, I hope you're enjoying your time in Tennessee. And I got to say, out here, there is less light pollution than anywhere I've ever lived, even less than when we're out in the woods in North Carolina. The night sky is absolutely amazing. Never seen it before like this. That's another reason why this story stuck out to me.

The city's light pollution emitted an intense sky glow, also known as the bright halo that appears over urban areas at night. In recent years, it's become even more of a problem. L.A. installed 165,000 LED streetlights. The move slashed energy use by 60%, netted $8 million in energy savings per year. However, they emit more and bluer light than the old technology. So bye-bye stars. For those who live in urban areas, it's shocking to think

that older cities like London and New York were almost entirely dark at nightfall. Even younger, L.A. was camouflaged between the imposing San Gabriel Mountains and the yawning Pacific Ocean until 1875. We're going to go to break and we'll come back. We've got some other news stories I want to cover here that haven't talked about what is happening with vaccines. And we've got an update as well on the military mandates and what the Pentagon is going to do. Mike Casolano, thank you for the tip. He says, Tdap vaccine I had to take in November for a

hospital job. I'm against all vaccines. I had to take it because I was out of work for months. Inactive ingredients, formaldehyde is so small to keep the vaccine sterile. I'm against it being there, but I'm not going to worry about it. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Again, I think, you know, the frequency of the vaccines, the age at which you get vaccinated are one of the key things that have been there for these traditional vaccines. I think that is as important, if not more important than the things that they put into it, the additives, the preservatives, and even adding things to it to try to annoy and attack your immune system. They call those adjuvants. Summer of 2012, A.J. said people were telling him the past year or so

that Ron Paul made a deal with Romney that A.J. never wanted to interview him again. Then in 2013, A.J. had Ron Paul on. Why did A.J. do that And Ron Paul was not on our side. Well, again, I wouldn't take what AJ says too seriously. AJ is constantly changing sides. Anyway, Gerald Smith, thank you for the tip. I love my David Knight pens. Good.

Thank you. They offer a smooth writing experience while providing a general reminder to follow David's lead and proving the pen is mightier than the sword. Thank you. Yeah, we should put that up, I guess, as an advertising slogan. And don't forget our T-shirts and our tumblers. I took the tumbler off the desk, but we still have tumblers. There was a discussion the other last week about whether or not these are microwave safe.

They're not. It's got a metal exterior, but it has a nice rubber bottom, so it doesn't make a big, noisy clink when you set it down. And it keeps coffee hot for a very long time. So don't forget our tumblers, as well as our coffee cups and our t-shirts and all the rest of the stuff. And the coins. And the coins. Those are my favorite. Yes, let's not forget the coins. I love the coins. We're going to have a better picture of the coin up there. Jason Barker designed these, and he did a great job. They look fantastic. I've always got one in my pocket.

They do. And you can't – the pictures that we have up right now do not do it justice. You have to see it in person to really see how nice this is.

You know, I had an article yesterday, which, again, I was somewhat skeptical. I had a hard time believing. I think it was Fox News that put it out. They said, look, we got memos coming out of the Pentagon saying that they're considering giving back pay to people that they kicked out. I said, well, that's really going to open the door to a lot of stuff, if that is true.

And saying that they might even consider changing the discharge status of people that they kicked out. I mentioned that as we saw Leanna Wynn doing yet another about face on yet another issue. And that is the identification of people dying from COVID. These numbers are ridiculously inflated, she said. And she's right. I've been talking about that for a very long time. We're talking about people who died with COVID, not from COVID.

And we're not even talking about that. We're talking about people who died with a PCR test that can find anything if you run it for 40 cycles. Total garbage with it. But anyway, going back to the military, this is from John Solomon, and he kind of fact-checked this thing by calling David Shantz, who I've interviewed a couple of times. I got David Shantz to talk about his work to try to help people in the military.

He's in the military. He's also a Christian, so he's very interested in any case that impacts religious liberty. He is a top-rated JAG. Is that a—that is a military lawyer. I don't know if you say JAG attorney, if that's redundant or what it is, but he's done a lot in the military in terms of legal representation of soldiers as well as in civilian courts. And so they contacted him. He said, no, there's still a lot of issues that are there. And so in John Solomon's piece here, headline, unvaccinated military members are

still facing repercussions despite the rescinded mandate. Despite the DOD memo, and again, there was some question. It looked like they were moving on things because at first they were going to take a hard line. They said, well, technically you said that we have to get rid of this memo that we put out for the regular branches of service, but you did not include the memo that we did later, forcing it on the National Guard and on reserves. So we're going to stick to that. And then they came out with another memo, said, no, we will, you know, that was a November memo that they did. I said, no, we're going to keep that November memo because in Congress, you only talked about the August memo that we put on the army, Navy, uh, air force Marines, but we're not

going to honor it for the coast guard, for the reserves. Now they've changed on that. Uh, but of course, as I pointed out, they said, military branch commanders can still consider your vaccination status. They can determine whether or not they want to deploy you. That's going to have big career implications, as Davis Seance points out. Air Force Second Lieutenant Addie Hewlett and 10 other officers who refused to get the vaccine have been in an ongoing legal and financial battle with the government.

The NDAA does not prevent the Department of Defense or anyone else from putting on mandates on service members once again, she said. She said, what we have here, all it was, was, hey, if you want your money, get rid of this mandate right now. But it doesn't say that you can't bring it back, and it also is still allowing punishment to go through the military. So when they talked to David Shantz, he said his main concern is all the unvaccinated reservists who were involuntarily transferred into the non-participating individual ready reserve. That is a state of limbo where they cannot participate in drills, they cannot receive military orders, they can't or pay or retirement,

they're ineligible for military health care, they have to pay, have to fully pay their life insurance on their own in order to keep it. So what they've done is they've stuck these people in this limbo where they lose benefits and have to pay even for their life insurance. The guidance these clients are receiving is that they're out of luck, said Jans, that there's no incentive to bring them back to active drilling reserve status. Reserves only have about two years to get back into active drilling status or they're forced out of the military. So again, they're still stabbing people in the back, doing it under the table,

doing it surreptitiously, dishonestly. The reservists would have to go to court to appeal their status, which is why religious freedom cases should continue, he said. There is nothing about the NDAA that helps or protects them. He said there's also multiple unvaccinated clients that he's working with who are fired from their command positions because they were told their superiors had lost confidence in their ability to command as a result of their vaccination status. Taking a letter of reprimand or an adverse action out of a file does not erase the fact that they were relieved of command for cause. That's major damage to their careers, to their prospects for promotion.

It is a way of pushing people out. Even with the purging of adverse actions from the files of unvaccinated performance reports for the past two years, the reports are still going to look terrible. Vaccination status may have prevented them from attending training, from performing duties, or from moving to a new position. The rescinded mandate does not address ongoing coercive tactics that the DOD used against military members to get them vaccinated.

He cited the case of a Navy officer who, because he wasn't vaccinated, spent eight and a half months on an aircraft carrier while others were allowed to leave, you know, for shore leave and other things like that. But they just kept him isolated, like in a prison, on this aircraft carrier. Unvaccinated service members remain in the military, might not be deployed, and as a result, they will eventually be discharged. Finally, service members who have already been discharged from the military, he said while the DOD is claiming that it's around 8,000 to 9,000 service members,

he says that estimate does not include the thousands who voluntarily separated or who took retirement or who were unable to reenlist. And the majority of these people got a general discharge, these 8,000 to 9,000 people, which impacts, as I've said before, their GI Bill benefits and points for getting jobs. He said, we need Congress to do more. But in the meantime, he said, we cannot trust the DOD and the secretaries of the services to change their position and go from being hostile and aggressive towards Christians, fighting the mandate, and suddenly completely change. He said, I expect coercion, legal issues, rights violations, and pushing people onto the board of corrections.

So let's talk about what this looks like, these attacks on religious liberty. Just in our everyday life, there's a viral video that came out about a man in the Mall of America. And he was being kicked out because, actually, Jesus was being kicked out because he had Jesus on his T-shirt. Look at this video. I understand that, but Jesus is associated with religion and it's offending people. No, it's not. I'm sorry, it's not a religion.

It's an eternal lie. Okay, but it's the same thing, okay? People have been offended, and like I said, all we were asking you was to take your shirt off and you can go to Macy's or we can leave. I didn't say anything to you. I didn't speak. Okay? People have been offended. And like I said, all we were asking you was to take your shirt off, and you can go to Macy's or we can leave. I didn't say anything. I didn't speak. I didn't speak. I didn't say anything. Just went to Macy's. And permission.

Just enough you're wearing a shirt, you walk around the mall, and enough you're wearing a shirt. Oh, I was going to say that. All right, so what the issue is, he's got a Jesus Saves t-shirt there in yellow. He was ordered by security to remove his shirt or leave the Mall of America last weekend. Some comments online have suggested that the man was eventually allowed to remain in the mall with his shirt on, but the Mall of America has refused to provide any context or any explanation. So on the front, it says Jesus saves. On the back, he's got the coexist symbol crossed out, and it says above and below it, Jesus is the only way.

And so you heard the security guard there. And I'll just tell you what was said there because it's a little bit difficult to hear. Security guard comes over to him in the video, says Jesus is associated with religion. And it's offending people. People have been offended. And he says, I didn't say anything to anybody. Well, you don't have to. I mean, Jesus is an offense, right?

To those who believe Jesus is precious, a cornerstone. But to those who are disobedient, the stone the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone, a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, as Isaiah said. Well, he said, I didn't say anything. I didn't speak. I didn't say anything. I just went to Macy's. Well, again, I'm giving you a couple of options.

You can take the shirt off and you can go to Macy's and you can do your shopping or you can leave the mall, okay? These are your only options right now. Well, you know, you don't have to say anything to have the mall cops or the Scottish cops arrest you. The lady that was silently praying in front of an abortion clinic, standing there, no signs, no nothing. She didn't have a T-shirt. She's just standing there, silently praying. Are you praying?

Well, I might be. Well, then you're under arrest. So I would say that if somebody, this is just me, this has sparked a little bit of a debate. People are saying, well, should he have just turned the other cheek and complied? Or what should he do? Well, I would say if the guy comes up to me and says, you've got a couple of options, you can take your shirt off and go shopping, or you can leave the mall. These are your options right now. I would say, well, here are your options.

You can leave me alone and mind your own business, or I can file a suit against you personally and against the mall. well, here are your options. You can leave me alone and mind your own business, or I can file a suit against you personally and against the mall. Which will it be? We need to push back on our rights. We need to defend our rights. We need to defend other people. That's why we need to have guns. We need to be able to defend innocent life. We need to be able to defend our rights. We need to not cow down to this intimidation. I've seen this my entire life. All this stuff about purging any religious exercise out of schools. And when we had school prayers, I didn't see anything with them that was inspiring or connecting me or anything. I thought it was a useless ritual, a useless formality, just like the Pledge of Allegiance. But it's significant to these people to purge these things out of society.

And it tells you something about their agenda. It tells you something about what they see as their enemy. If they want to get the Pledge of Allegiance out, if they want a silent prayer purged out. Now we've gone from silent prayers being banned. First we had prayer banned when I was going to school, then we had silent prayer banned, and now as an adult I'm seeing people standing on a sidewalk getting arrested because they're silently praying.

At what point do we stand up to this? He later claims a man was engaged in religious soliciting. The man claims throughout the video that he was not attempting to proselytize mall patrons, was simply wearing the shirt while shopping. There's indications that he had been doing some preaching or something in that mall previously, so they might have come after him because of that, but he was just wearing the shirt. But they didn't make it. They didn't say he hadn't said anything this time,

and they made it all about the shirt. And I would say, as I've talked many times about free speech and the Marsh v. Alabama case, 1946 Supreme Court case, where the Supreme Court said that a person who was handing out religious tracts in the town square, even though it was a company town, a coal town, and the entire company, the entire town was owned by a company, and the so-called public square was private property, but it was still the public square. And the Supreme Court in 1946 said that even if the public square is privately owned, then you can't censor speech. And I said, that's the issue with the social media stuff. And you had people who came back.

Robert Barnes argued with me, and he said, no, there's been court cases in California where where they kick people out of the malls because they're doing political or religious speaking. I said, that's not the town square. That's a retail space. And I understand that that doesn't apply, but that's a completely different situation than the town square. That is a retail space. Just going out into the open areas of the mall where, by the way, they rent kiosk space to people. But if you're going to start doing that in retail space, all of the mall is retail space.

That's the same as going into somebody's business and setting up a thing and starting to, um, um, you know, uh, do your thing politically, religiously or whatever that should not be protected. But in the digital public square, that speech should be protected. But he was not doing that. They said, well, you can't have that shirt in here. Well, the Mall of America had just hosted and promoted a drag show for, quote, all ages and it's

iconic rotunda. They just did that. They didn't have a problem with that. A group called Bloomington Patriots is planning to hold a demonstration at the mall two weeks, February the 4th, February the 4th. They're asking for attendees to come and wear Jesus shirts. I think that's the appropriate response. Double down on this.

So the Mall of America will not respond for comments to any of this. But I do not think that turning the other cheek is an appropriate response. I guess if we were to say that, maybe we could say that the Apostle Paul should have just done whatever they told him. He went places. People stoned him. They put him in prison. They eventually cut his head off. What he had to say was an offense to them, but that that didn't stop him and it shouldn't stop us either

um let's see thank eric thank you very much for the tip on there as a matter of fact we have eric peters ready to join us so we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about freedom and mobility and transportation i know mobility is starting to get becoming a tainted word now because that's all that the car companies want to talk about. But we'll be right back with Eric Peters, epautos.com. Stay with us. Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show elvis ladies and gentlemen the beatles and the sweet sounds of motown find them on the oldies channel at apsradio.com all right and joining us now is eric petersautos.com, one of my favorite sites because Eric covers things that are dear to my heart,

liberty and freedom of transportation, private cars and things like that. He's got great reviews, but he also, you can't do anything today without getting involved in politics because politics has intruded itself in every aspect of our life, and it is overriding our car decisions left and right. They're redesigning the cars left and right out of Congress and other places. But thank you for joining us, Eric. Oh, you bet. I'm standing here by my propane gas heater doing the Davos shuffle.

That might have been a little bit too far for Biden, you know, as he came out. And the justification that he had for Biden, you know, as he came out. And the justification that he had for it was complete nonsense, this whole thing about childhood asthma. Seriously? Come on. You know when the gas is leaking because they put some, you know, stinky gas in there so that it has a smell. And it's not leaking. It's being burned.

It's ridiculous. But it's of a piece, isn't it? We've talked about how they want to push everything into a single centralized source of energy. That is electricity. They want you to drive an electric car. They want you to have an electric heat pump in your house. And the reason for that is obvious because then they have absolute control over everything that keeps you alive. Your ability to stay warm, your ability to cook, to cool your food, and of course to drive. That's what this is fundamentally all about. That's right.

And Kathy Hochul in New York was up front about it. And so have the regulators and the, you know, the eco-dictators in the UK and other places. They said, look, we're doing this to satisfy the climate gods. Biden came up with this bogus nonsense about asthma. And I think it's because he's trying to navigate as to how legally he's going to use some bureaucratic organization underneath him to ban this. But Kathy Hochul said, no, we're just going to ban space heaters from all the buildings. And, you know, they had this in and put this in a couple of years ago saying, you're not going to build any new construction. Residential is going to start at such and such a point.

We're going to give you another couple of years to phase it out for commercial, but you're not going to be allowed to have any gas, space heating. And then at the last minute, Kathy Hochul stuck in her thing into that same bill saying, we're going to cut off gas ranges and the rest of the stuff. And the chefs at the restaurants are like, no, you're not. That's going to put us out of business. And so they jumped the shark on that. They went a little bit too far with their bands too quickly. And that's a good thing to see people finally waking up to what is happening with this. It is.

I think perhaps a lot of people are beginning to discern the common thread here, which has nothing to do with climate change. That's just the excuse to drag us back to a feudal state of the Middle Ages where you had a pyramidal society with the lords and the priests at the very top. And today's priests, of course, are those who are promulgating this whole climate change religion. And everybody else is impoverished and underneath the foot of the lords and the priests. That is kind of a snapshot of what these Davos people would like to see happen. And they made it pretty clear in their last, you know, big confab that was in Egypt,

COP 27. They even created these little phony green tablets like the Ten Commandments, and they had ten environmentalist commandments. And they go up this little mountain, and they look back at where the conference was, and they said, that's not good enough, and they destroy the tablets. I mean, it's just, the whole thing is just a mockery. It's an imitation. But it's good to see them going too far on this. And you got an article about adaptable vehicles, and I want to talk about that. But before we do, just as we were talking off air when you got on,

you said you had some idea as to what is going on with Biden. It looks like the establishment has turned on him, doesn't it? It smells like it. You know, I've got a pretty good detector for this sort of thing. And the same organs that were vehemently behind him when it came to anything, whatever indefensible thing he did, they would find a way to defend it. Well, now all of a sudden we've got these documents that supposedly were being stored in his garage at his Delaware house and they're actually taking umbrage about that there are negative stories about this oh how irresponsible how could this be and that suggests to me that maybe they're

trying to figure out a way to dump the geriatric kid sniffer you know because they have a real problem on their hands what are they going to do? The next election is only a little bit more than two years away now at this point. And I think he's a liability. He's becoming a liability for a variety of factors. And maybe if they can push him out of the way, then we get Kamala Harris as the new president. And perhaps she's going to then appoint somebody like Gavin Newsom as her vice president. And voila, there we go. Instant, you know, instant American Trudeau come 2024. Yeah. I just don't know how they think they're going to do much better with Lala Harris. I mean, she's not, she's not senile, but she can't complete a, you know, a sentence or a thought.

She says, oh, isn't that something? But when I look at this, Eric, I talked about this yesterday or the day before I said, you look at David, it was yesterday because we're only on Tuesday. It seems like a week has gone by. I did a midnight show last night, so I lost track of which day we're on. But David Gergen, one of the mouthpieces, certainly for CNN, but he's been on both sides of the establishment for many years. He was working with Republicans from Nixon and Reagan and everything. But, you know, he worked with Clinton and the rest of them, and they've got the knives out for Biden. And I think one of the things that's key that I talked about, Sue, what you think about this?

I said, you know, it's come out that they knew about Biden's documents at least a couple of weeks before the election. Now, they would keep that quiet because they didn couple of weeks before the election. Now, they would keep that quiet because they didn't want to affect the election, but they also knew about it well before they did the Trump raid, and I think that's even more significant. I question as I looked at that, because I don't think there's really anything in terms of the documents with Trump. They talk about a pardon for Roger Stone or something, but the documents that Biden has could be pretty significant because of the Iran documents and because of Ukraine. There's the connections that Biden and Hunter had in Ukraine and the corruption, but also the coup that happened there.

And also what happened during the Obama administration with Iran. They had this bizarre thing where they were sending a plane with all this foreign currency because they were prohibited from doing that to pay them off and to ransom some people. So there's a lot of stuff there. So maybe, I looked at this, I thought, well, maybe they made that raid against Trump. They don't need any more things to come after Trump.

They got so many different ones. If they can't close a deal on any of those, this isn't going to help them. But maybe the more significant thing is Biden, and maybe this is a two-for-one, and maybe the attack on Mar-a-Lago really was to come after Biden. I don't know. I'm kind of a deep conspiracy theorist. I see this as a two-for-one. Given that anything is possible, you know, anything literally is possible these days. There's nothing that restrains these people. I certainly think that that's a plausible scenario.

And as a legal matter, you know, I'm not a lawyer, but I've been given to understand that in Trump's case, he is the former president. And there's a different standard there for the president to have hold of certain documents, whereas a lot of these documents apparently that Biden had date back to when he was the vice president and did not have legal authority to do what he did. So, you know, we're going to see, I guess, over the next couple of days, weeks, what happens. That's right. Yeah, the Democrats want to get rid of Trump. Most Republicans do as well. But the Democrats, it looks like now, want to get rid of Biden because, as you pointed out, this is a lot more serious. There are more serious documents involved. And he was just the vice president. He wasn't the president. So this is potentially a lot more serious. There are more serious documents involved. And he was just the vice president. He wasn't the president. So this is potentially a lot more serious.

I think it is killing two birds with one national security. And here's the other thing, Eric. Is anybody bringing up the Hillary Clinton, Clintonemails.com? Nobody's still talking about that. That's a big, you know, the dog that did not bark. You know, why, if we're going to get ourselves all worked up about Biden and Trump, why are we not talking about Hillary here with all this? Well, of course, because, again, it's cognitive dissonance. You know, the the apparat, just like in 1984, when the party orator shifts gears in mid speech, you know, Eurasia is the enemy one moment and then it's East Asia the next minute.

And the crowd, like a bunch of trained SEALs, just claps their approbation. That's what happens these days. That's right. That's right. Well, let's talk about what happens if Davos gets his way. Let's talk about adaptable vehicles. I think it's a great article. Tell people what you're talking about here. Yeah, well, we all know what's happening with regard to new cars and this push toward electrification and the fact that most late model cars are very, very difficult to do anything other than basic maintenance on because of all the electronics. And when those parts no longer become available or they're discontinued, you've got a problem. You know, we were given a kind of preview of this during these supply chain interruptions that have happened over the course of the, air fingers quotes, pandemic. So when something goes wrong with these electronic systems

you have a car that's useless it doesn't work and you have no way to fix it because the parts are specific to that vehicle and you have to have that particular part in order for it to work and in some cases you have to have a dealer program the part in order for the vehicle to work well with with older but not ancient vehicles, I've got an 02 Nissan Frontier pickup. They have electronic fuel injection, but that's the only really electronic thing that they have. The rest of the vehicle, remarkably, is still essentially a mechanical device, very similar to the vehicles that were made 30, 40 years ago. And it's not too difficult, if you wanted to, to replace the electronic fuel injection, all the sensors in the computer with a simpler mechanical fuel delivery system, meaning a

straightforward intake manifold and a carburetor. And then you don't have to worry about any of that. You know, I've got an old muscle car. It's almost 50 years old. It still has its original carburetor. And it's easy for me to take it down and rebuild it, fix it, whatever. And even if I had to replace the whole thing, it's only a $500 part, brand new, and I'll never have to do that probably.

So this is something that we may want to... That's a growth industry for somebody to offer that service for people. Well, it is. And the point is that when we get to a scenario like in Cuba where parts aren't available but we want to be able to continue to move, it behooves us to figure out a way

to keep our vehicles going. And this is one way to do that. If you have a relatively modern vehicle like my O2 Frontier, you can retrofit and adapt these simpler, more DIY-friendly components to it and be able to continue to drive it. Whereas with the newer stuff, everything is completely electronicized. Everything. You can't do anything to these vehicles anymore. So it's just a thought that it might be a good thing to consider doing that or getting a vehicle like that, that you could do that with given the way things are rolling. Yeah.

And I could see that, you know, some new technology kind of coming to the rescue with that. Remember we have Jay Leno in his garage. He got a lot of really, really old classic cars. Nobody's making parts for anymore. And when they would want to replace it, some of these things, they would 3D print. I can imagine that you could probably have situations where people put up 3D printed files and sell them to you or even offer them for free for various car parts that are no longer around.

I could definitely see that happening. But you're right. You and I talked about this years ago when they started coming after John Deere. Farmers are used to fixing their equipment. That's one of the ways that they survive is by being self-reliant and being able to do things on their own instead of having to pay everybody for every service. But John Deere started shutting that down. GM was shutting that down, making things inaccessible under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or something

like that. You know, we're saying, well, we always own the computer code, and you better not replace that or modify that. And if you were even to buy the part, you couldn't install it without having some John Deere dealer that was going to specifically program it and enable it for you. So they wanted to essentially turn you into renters forever, never owning anything. And you pay for it, but you never really own it. They retain ownership of that.

And so that's been there in a lot of different ways. Yeah, and they're actually elaborating the principle more and more. Some of the, uh, the features, uh, that you used to buy when you got a car, for example, you know, I'd like to have heated seats or a heated steering wheel. And, you know, you paid for that option and it was yours. You own the car and that was it. Now they're selling these things on a subscription basis. So, you know, the, the, the system is, uh, in the vehicle when you buy it, but it's only enabled if you sign up for a monthly or a yearly subscription. And if you don't continue to pay them, then the heated seats don't work anymore. And you never truly own the heated seats. Isn't it great? Yeah. It just keeps metastasizing,

doesn't it? It truly is amazing. And you know, when you look at the complex, the complexity of these different cars, um, having a Miata, I was amused to look at what a company called Flying Miata would do. They would stuff V8 engines into little Miatas and stuff, right? You know about them. Well, you know, they did that just fine the first couple of generations, you know, and they do a new Miata about every 10 years or whatever. But the first couple of generations, they were able to put that in there with no problem at all.

Then when they get to the third generation, it got kind of complicated because now all of a sudden there's a lot of electronic things that are interconnected and they had to get a consultant to come in and, you know, made a bit of an issue, even though they had more room under the hood. It became a very complicated thing because the electronics. And then when they came out with the fourth generation a few years ago and

they wanted to drop a V8 engine into that, they said they nearly couldn't do it. They hired a whole bunch of different consultants because they had on the bus, everything was interconnected, whether you're talking about every system, emergency systems and driver assist systems that were there, as well as the heater and the radio, you know, all these things are interconnected. It's not just the drivetrain. Late model vehicles have things called body control modules, which govern the operation of things like the power windows. And they won't work. You know, if you take the electronics out for one thing, then nothing else works. So you essentially would

have to gut the entire vehicle and then re-engineer it from the ground up. And yeah, it can be done, but it's prohibitively expensive. And essentially nobody's going to do that, except for perhaps a handful of very affluent people. So it's alarming to me as an enthusiast, as somebody who likes to be able to work on my own vehicles, what they have done now to just make these things essentially tablets on wheels or cell phones on wheels, and not just the electric cars. It's regular cars, too. They're not serviceable.

They work great. Usually when you buy them, you just go, and you don't really have to do anything to them in terms of maintenance. But then eventually you get to this point where things start to go wrong, and when they do go wrong, forget about it. You're not going to be able to do anything about it yourself, and nobody else may be able to either because the parts may not be available. Yeah.

This year they went back to the Consumer Electronics Show Show and we talked about it a couple of years ago before the quote unquote pandemic. And the kind of stuff that you're seeing there now, oh, look, BMW's got a car that changes colors all the time. It's like, well, how much does that cost to fix if you get a ding at the supermarket? You know, I mean, none of this stuff stuff is practical but it is all electronics and you got sony coming out with their car in conjunction with i think it was honda or something and and you know they're putting together a car because it really has now become a kind of a mobile boom box and and with many other types of things it's really a piece of consumer electronics that's why they've dominated the show for the last two that they've had over the last four years. They've only had two shows, but the last two of them they've had

that way. But when we look at getting our independence, I like what you were talking about in terms of de-electronification of a car, whatever, if that's a word. Yeah. Yeah. De-electronization. I know I come up with these neologisms to try to convey the point. Maybe they're a little bit awkward sometimes. Yeah, I think we're going to have to think of how we are going to do our own fuel as well. I talked about this on the show. I said, you know, I've seen for years they have micro breweries, right? And somehow they were able to get out of the clutches of the ATF.

And around here, it's something that's just happened in the last few years. They would say, well, you can do beer and it can't have a high alcohol content or whatever. But around here, something happened, and I don't know what the legal basis of it is. I haven't looked it up. But there are just tons of what they call moonshine places. So these are like a microbrewery, except they're doing hard liquor. And so if you can do something like that, there's got to be some way that we could do micro refineries, you know, where we could produce fuel of some sort. That's basically grain alcohol.

Yeah. Essentially, that's what we're talking about. Ethanol is alcohol, and you can make it from corn, and you can make it from a lot of other materials that people can grow on their own. You may not be able to make massive quantities of it, but in a pinch, you could probably make enough to, for example, run a generator, run your power equipment, run your vehicle if need be. You know, converting an older vehicle that doesn't have electronics, it has a carburetor, to alcohol is a fairly straightforward process. You just have to get alcohol-compatible gaskets and so on, and then increase the, you know,

up-jet it to make, to compensate for the leaner fuel mixture that alcohol will give you. But it's a pretty straightforward process, and people have done it for decades. Yeah. Yeah, we've talked about, you know, greasels, people converting their diesel to run off of animal oil and things like that. And so that's been around for a while. But, you know, even Porsche came out with an e-fuels. What was it? They turned CO2 or methane or something like that into a liquid that could be burned without any adjustment to the engine.

But they're going to do it in a very, very special way. That's going to be super expensive. I guess maybe because it's got to be done in this little bespoke factory that is down in the tip of South America and a place where there's constant wind. And it's going to be green because they're going to power the plant that makes this stuff from wind power, all this other kind of, but you don't need that. I mean, you know, you could, yeah. That's just the take-home point.

The reason why we, you know, we have been continuing to rely on gas and diesel is because it's easy and it's efficient. It makes it feasible for average people to drive, and that's exactly why the Davos crowd doesn't like it and is pushing us into these Rube Goldberg-esque schemes and these expensive alternatives that are really not feasible for most people. Yeah, that's right. When we talk about, you've got another article, everything except cars. Talk about how the car companies have reimagined themselves. Well, you know, there's a phrase that the Marxists have called the long march through the institutions. And you know that they've marched through the institutions when General Motors,

which at one time was synonymous with American capitalism, now is more interested in selling this woke agenda. You go to their main corporate news page, which you'd think would be devoted to, hey, this is what cars were working on, and things of that nature. Instead, you find things about diversity, equity, inclusion, citizenship, all these sorts of things. And I took a few snapshots from their site, and then I linked to a few other things and pointed out that this is probably why General Motors has about a 16% market share today, as opposed to the 28% of the entire North American market that Chevrolet Division by itself had in 1968.

Wow. Well, that's exactly what Klaus Schwab would approve of, though. This is ESG. We don't care about manufacturing anything. We don't care about making a profit. We want to tow the line for whatever the government agenda is or whatever the global agenda is. And they are right there towing the line. They were repurposed during the so-called pandemic. Oh, we're going to make you into ventilator manufacturers, along with Ford. but this is what mary bear has been all about isn't it yeah keep in mind that for people at her level and i think her annual compensation package is something on the order of 20 million dollars annually uh you know she's essentially part of the davos crowd and these

people are essentially possessed of unlimited means, and they know that for them and their class, none of this matters, because they will be able to afford the ultra-expensive, hand-built probably vehicles that the elites will tootle around in, just like Stalin didn't worry about driving a car or having a car. He always had a car. It's about making sure that the rest of the Soviet people didn't have a car. That's right. Yeah, I liked what somebody said about Davos.

They called them the gold-collar workers. That's brilliant. They're not blue-collar or white-collar. They're gold-collar because they are so separated from the rest of us. So, Elitist, I like what you put in your article here. Nowadays, companies do these things, but they're secondary and tertiary, the manufacturing things, such things as people, safety, diversity, equity, inclusion, and wait for it, citizenship. Is this a seventh grade civics class made with the Boy Scouts?

Whoops, these aren't Boy Scouts. It's GM today. That pretty much sums it up, Eric. Yeah, you know, I learned about citizenship when I was in the Boy Scouts. I didn't think you'd have to learn about that when you go to work for a car company. Yeah, but, you know but that's what they want, and that's part of their transformation of society. That's why we need to be looking at how we're going to retrofit our cars so they don't take us all the way back into the Middle Ages.

Maybe we just go back to the 1950s. That'd be good enough. Yeah, not so bad. I've written repeatedly and spoken a number of times about the issue of secession. And I think really probably the best way to think of that is on an individual level, meaning that we each decide to simply opt out and we secede. We stop doing business with, we stop associating with these people, these organizations, all of that. And we create our own alternative system. And that is something that is within our grasp and something that is achievable as opposed to the far more difficult thing of politically separating, say, one state from the rest of the union and so on. That's right. Yeah, nullification was a wow. I would describe that to just say, well, we're not going to do that. You get a situation, as I was talking about earlier in the show, you're now up to 80 out of 102 counties in Illinois where the

sheriff's has said, we're not going to enforce this new gun control regulation. That's the appropriate path. And I've been saying, and we saw this all through this lockdown pandemic, that local officials could make things a lot better, or they could make things a lot worse than even what they were trying to do at the state level. We've had situations in some states where you had governors fighting aggressive tyrants, public health officials, and so forth in some locations. Or you've had situations where they stood for the freedom of the people against an invasive governor like Gretchen Whitmer or Pritzker or something like that.

So it really is at the local level. And they've understood this all along. They would always say, the UN would say, think globally, act locally. Well, we need to understand what their plans are. We need to defeat them locally, and that's one of the reasons why on their agenda this year, the World Economic Forum, Davos, has an agenda on how to accomplish these things at the local level. They're going to try to bring in all these different mayors

and bureaucrats at the local level to enforce this stuff. There's a stat, I think, that is on our side. As I understand it, roughly about 1% to 3%, depending on whose numbers you go by, of the population would be diagnosed as psychopathic or extremely narcissistic sociopath type personalities. And that's a good thing because it means most people are decent people. They might get bamboozled.

They might be confused. But most people, after a while, their conscience starts to work on them. And I'm speaking here to your point about these local sheriffs and so on. So, you know, I'm not going to I'm not comfortable with this. I'm not going to enforce these laws. They're wrong. Yes, I think we're beginning to see the wheel turn in that direction. The people are saying, you know, what happened during the air fingers quote pandemic, this was despicable and awful. And I feel, I feel gross that I had

anything to do with it and it's time to stop. And if that continues to happen, and I think that it will, things are going to get better. You know, we were all impatient for things to get better, but the Titanic doesn't turn on a dime. We just have to keep on plugging away and doing what we're doing. It took the other side 50 years to get us to where we are now. That's right. Yeah. There's a lot of inertia, but you know, once you wake up the sleeping giant, it's going to, you know, we're going to stomp them into fine pieces, you know, once it happens. But, uh, I think part of the dynamic that's there with the local sheriffs, and I saw this in the early days of the pandemic as I talked to a local pastor, and he said, yeah, Whitmer is, not Whitmer, Pritzker in Illinois is threatening to shut us down. But the sheriff has got the cars protecting our church here because we all know each other.

We've lived here for years. We've gone to school together. He's got deputies that go to this church. That's the issue. When these people get to the state level or to the federal level, they're so far removed from you that you're nothing more than a statistic. You're an abstraction. But when it's at the local level, if you get out, and this is why they want to isolate everybody with social distancing and having us work through their digital portals and their metaverse and all the rest of the stuff, if they can do that and if they can break the relationship that people have in a community successfully, they've got us. We have to fight what they're doing.

They're talking about digitalization of everything. That's a buzzword for Davos this year. They want to digitize us because they want to isolate us. We want to have a real world where we are involved with real people who live in our area. And if we have that kind of connection, then they lose their control over us. They do. There's accountability, and it's key. And I think that we've lived now for quite some time in what I consider to be an unnatural environment.

As you say, this sort of alienating mass society in which you are just a widget, a one or a zero, and you don't know these forces that have control over you, they don't care about you, it's a machine. And I think to the extent that we can get back to a decentralized system, which is what the founders of the country had in mind, where for the most part the things that go on go on at the community level. And as you say, with people that you've grown up with, went to school with, that you know, and vice versa. And that is how you maintain a healthy society. And to the extent that we can get back to that, the better things are going to be. Yeah, I think our society's part of the problem is our societies

have gotten too big to be representative and to have that kind of accountability. You look at what was originally, you know, the original design of the Constitution was to limit the number of people represented by a representative to 30,000 or 50,000. Well, you know, we got away from that almost immediately, and then we had them fix the number of representatives, and so now one congressman is representing maybe 750,000 to 800,000. I don't know what the latest one is, but it had already been up to 750,000 rather than 50,000. And so these people, even the congressional level, they are too far distant from us. And I've said for the longest time, if we went back to that approach and limit it to 30 or 50,000 people, you'd wind

up with several thousand congressional representatives and we would have a truly representative body. And people say, well, they couldn't all meet in one place. That's right. They would have to stay at home. And that would be something that would be a good thing to have on Zoom, right? And you could do that. And that possibility has been there for quite a while, but everybody has now lived that

and is currently living that. Certainly, we should enforce that on them to have that kind of accountability. But it is that distance from us. You see these people go native and that is, I think, the biggest threat to all of us is that you break that connection to each other, whether it's your congressional representative or just people in your own neighborhood. Yeah, anything that tends to diffuse authority is beneficial. That would be the first response I have. And the second is, I've always kind of been uncomfortable with the word representative, as it applies in a political context. If I have somebody represent me, that means they do exactly what I tell them to do. For example, my lawyer, he's my representative.

He does what I tell him to do. If he doesn't do it, I can fire him. It's nonsense to characterize these politicians as representatives, because they do whatever they're going to do, and maybe sometimes their interests will jive with what yours are, but they don't represent you in any etymologically honest way. Yeah, Congress is a better description, because they're cons, right? But I think George Santos is the exhibit A of that. He's a living joke every day. It's a thing that's thrown out there. But I always talked about it in terms of, you know, when you think of Congress, every two to four years or whatever you get to make a choice, maybe for Senate, it's every six years, right? So every two, four, six years, you get to vote. And what you get is a basket of things. And it would be as if you went to the grocery store and you can call them up and you can give them an order and they'll fill the stuff up and you just go by and pick it up. Some people do that. But imagine that everything was that way. You

couldn't go through the aisles and pick out what you wanted and get exactly what you wanted. You would go and you would get, either you get this basket A, and it's got these things in it, or you get basket B. You know where I'm going with this. You get a lot of stuff put in your basket that you don't want. And that's the problem with all these politicians and these political parties. It's a basket case of stuff and lots of stuff you don't want. And there's also a moral aspect of it that makes a person uneasy, or at least it makes me uneasy,

in that on the one hand you might like A, B, and C of what a given representative says that he's going to do, but on the other hand there's G, E, and F that you don't like. So you have this uncomfortable balance of like, and with Trump is a really good example. Okay, you know, some of his policies might have been appealing. And yeah, I think I can go for that. But then there are these other things that he does that, you know,

I really am uncomfortable with and want no part of. And you're placed in this position of having to vote, as they say, for the lesser of two evils. And the result of that is that we end up with something that's evil. Yeah, that's right. Speaking of that, you've got an article, Mercenarism, a picture of Glenn Beckman. You'll know all about that. And Sean Hannity right there.

Yeah, talk a little bit about that article. Well, it was prompted by an explosion of outrage. I was making my daily trek downtown from where I live. I'm going to hit the gym, and it's about a half hour away. And the duration of the trip, I'm just listening to an infomercial on, I think it was XM Serious 125, their political channel, one of the political channels. And it's gotten so bad.

You know, you want, on the one hand, to get some of this information out there, but as the late comedian Bill Hicks put it, you know, everything they say is suspect because they're constantly trying to sell you something. And it's not as if there's a separation. Hey, here's a word from our sponsors. In the middle of a monologue, they will start trying to hawk something to you. The host of the show will start trying to sell you something. That's right. So it seems to me like that's all they're doing. It's just about selling. Guys like Hannity and Beck, these guys are multimillionaires. Why do they have to continue to do that i i just i i'd love to have

the question answered if i'm them and i'm in their position and they come to the the studio or whatever the radio station comes to me and says we'd like you to read this ad no i'm not going to read that ad you're welcome to put the ad on my show you know and that's fine but i'm not going to read the stinking thing and if you don't like it go pound sand i've been there yeah i know some of the uh insta hard or whatever it's like i'm not so no and to be clear i understand the necessity of earning a living and i understand that people in the media i'm one of them you have to have uh sponsors and so on but and there's nothing wrong with that you Back in the print days, we would have articles, news articles on a page, and then maybe on the top right corner, there'd be an ad for something.

And that's fine because there was a clear separation between the news or the opinion and the ad. That was important because it let people realize that what you were saying in the news article or the opinion piece wasn't trying to sell them something that's right yeah well the problem i have with it you know is when you're selling something that's bogus or if you start slanting the news in order to you know help your sponsor as fox news has done on these pharmaceuticals and vaccines quite obviously you know pushing back you by pfizer yeah that's right they don't want you to see some of the stuff why because they are brought to you by Pfizer these keys these guys are getting tens of millions of dollars why because they're sponsored by Pfizer throwing money at everybody

about this kind of stuff but yeah you're right sometimes sometimes they will say well you know we have to do this it's necessary it's the cost of doing business no it's not uh you know there's an example of Joe Rogan who's a guy who has a microphone in a studio, and he does his show, and he has a tremendous audience. And sure, he has sponsors, but he doesn't try to sell you gold or dog-chewy treats in the course of his conversations with people. And it just shows that it can be done. They just don't want to do it, and they're really undermining, I think, our cause. People on our people on our side of the fence, meaning, you know, the pro-liberty movement, generally speaking, I think has got to be very careful about not doing anything at all that can be used against us in the sense of portraying us

as in it just to cash in and make money. Like the, you know, Republican Party, send in your $50 now to join the Republican caucus and all that kind of thing. It's got to stop. Well, you know, you mentioned Joe Rogan and Spotify that sponsors him and pays him tens of millions of dollars here is the one podcast that will not carry my program. I have been kicked off of them, uh, when I was at InfoWars. And then, you know, when I started my own thing, I thought, well, maybe they'll do it now. And, you know, I go to a, um, uh, I upload to one spot, you know, like to Spreaker right now and it pushes it out to all the different ones. And, um, and so we did that and, and I was there for a couple of months and then they

shut it down and then we changed, um, and wouldn't give me an explanation. And so then we changed to another host and, uh, it started putting the stuff out and, um, they pumped it out to Spotify as a default thing. So I thought, well, let's just see what happens with it. And I actually got a call from a Spotify rep said, we'd like to monetize your podcast and put some stuff on there. And I said, great, but are you sure? Am I okay with you guys? And while we were still talking about it, uh, that took a couple of weeks. Um, they shut me down again. And, uh, so, you know, they, they, and they have, I found out that they have a, uh, a piece of technology that they want to sell to all the other podcasts, which will identify,

uh, naughty speech like mine and shut it down. You know that they're, so they, they have developed the tools to do that. That's why they're the only ones doing it, but this may metastasize other people. They may sell it to other people and shut down your podcast because, you know, you know, I had, we had another one that, uh, contacted us and said, well, I would like to carry your show and, you know, looking at the downloads and all this other kind of stuff. And, um, so I said, okay, that's fine. But you know, they, they specialize in this diversity, equity, inclusive thing. So I thought they wouldn't find anything. Finally, they,

they found somebody that said, well, we think we found a good sponsor for you. They did like, uh, uh, uh, storable food or something like that. And I said, yeah, I don't, you know, that would be a good fit for us. But I said, but there's a caveat here. They don't want you to say anything about guns. I said, well, that's not going to happen, you know? So, I mean, it's that type of thing. If you go down the list, you know, there's absolutely no way that I'm going to get too many sponsors. We did find that, you know, we can get some on Spreaker, but that's basically, we still essentially run the way that you run your operation, which is just by voluntary donations.

Yeah, and I think that's actually a really good alternative, and it speaks to, it gets back to this issue of decentralization that we were talking about. You know, all of the people who donate are individuals, and they decide on their own, I don't push or pressure anybody. If they like what I do, you know, they can throw me a couple of bucks and that's it. And that makes it impossible for any one of them to in any way threaten my ability to say what I want to say, whether it's on the radio or whether it's in my articles. And I think that's ultimately the way going forward for people in the media on our side of the aisle.

That's right. Yeah. People sometimes get really upset with me. I've listened to you for years, and I really don't like what you had to say about this, or you didn't cover this, so I'm not going to listen anymore. It's like, well, fine, but I'm not going to tailor what I have to say to somebody who's angry with me because I've already been there. That was my entire job. And I let that go because I wasn't going to tailor what I was going to say about the election nonsense and the lockdown nonsense and the, you know, you're non-essential and the warp speed stuff. I wasn't going to tailor it to any of that and tell people that Trump was playing 4D chess. It's like, forget about it. I'm not doing it. Right, and from the standpoint of a listener, why would you want that?

Why would you want to listen to somebody that you know is going to flinch and duck the minute somebody complains about what he had to say? I want to hear what he has to say, and I'll make up my own mind, and everybody else should do the same. I've told the story many times about when I was in college, Time and Newsweek, you know, they were the objective news reportedly, right? But they weren't. They were owned. They were pushing the party line, you know, from the CIA, Operation Mockingbird type of stuff. You know, they would cover the same topics and they would have the same approach to it. But I preferred to get my information from opinion journals and they

would be, you know, hardcore about their opinion. So I would go to a conservative one. I would look at national review and I look at the nation, for example, you know, nation and national review, because they sound alike. I talk about that, but I got, I had a lot of them that I looked at because I wanted them to talk about the issue from their perspective. Whether I agreed with it or not, I would get different. And so I wanted to have that debate. I wanted the differences in opinion instead of this homogenized establishment pablum that was being fed to everybody, which I could even see at that age that it was nothing but propaganda. Sure. How else do you get to the truth other than by sifting through a lot of information? Yeah, that's right.

Which is what they don't want you to do anymore. And they've got the tools to basically shut it down. You know, the podcasts are one of the few things out there that is still available. Because, you know, even if you go on radio, you've got to find sponsors who are going to be okay with what you have to say. But the podcasts are the one thing that's out there right now. Uh, and they haven't figured out a way to censor it, but I think Spotify has got that tool and it just, it's going to be a matter of time before they run. Well, have you been looking into sub stacks?

Yes. Yes. And I should be doing more on sub stack. I, I don't really want to engage with social media, but I think a sub stack would be a good alternative to that. Yeah, I've begun to, I don't by any means know a whole lot about media, but I think Substack would be a good alternative to that. Yeah, I've begun to. I don't, by any means, know a whole lot about it, but from what I gather, it is another decentralized venue, a way for you to, as they say, get the word out and not be beholden to anybody. And, you know, it's fine. It goes out to Twitter, it goes out to Facebook,

but if they cut it off, so what? It's going out to other people. That's the beauty of this. Unless they really go full authoritarian, as long as we still have the ability to communicate and to disseminate, we'll find lateral moves to get around them. And ultimately, I'm confident that we're going to win if that proves to be the case. Well, you know, the thing about Substack, they've already been attacked a couple of years ago, and they held firm on that. And so they've got a commitment to free speech under the current management management that could change at any point in time, but at the current time, they got a commitment to free speech. They have, um, uh, you can, uh, actually get notification out to people when you do a new article, it'd be a very good fit for you. But I've also looked at

it in terms of, yeah, I create, we got a three hour program here. So what I do is I typically will create an outline that gives people an idea of what I'm talking about every five to 10 minutes. So they can kind of jump into the program and, and look at it. And some of the video, uh, hosts that we have, but I also put it up for the podcast. So the video hosts, you can click on the, um, uh, the, the time code that I have there and it'll take you to that spot in the video. But that would be a good fit for me, I think, to put that on Substack. I've been thinking about putting that up, putting a link to the video as well as that,

because that gets to be very long, and that gets swallowed by some of the podcast places. So if people were to find that, that might be a good fit for us. But it'd be a very good fit for you because it's oriented towards articles. Yep. One of the great ironies, I think, of our time is that the left, the old left, and we're here about the old right,

well, now we've got the old left, used to warn about what would happen when corporations owned the media and corporations were powerful enough to control the government. And now it's the left that is championing all of those things. That's right.

Yeah, just like the left loves the FBI now. You know, when the FBI used to have their COINTELPRO programs, and they were shutting down people on the left, left and right, and not left and right, but they're just shutting down the left. But now that they have joined the left, the left is cheering them on. We saw the same thing with the conservatives. You know, it's just the pendulum party. It's just swinging from one, the bureaucrats are going from one political orientation to another one. But they've always

been authoritarian. You've always had J. Edgar Hoover. I had a guy send me a thing. He's an FBI agent and he wrote a book about what has happened to the FBI. He thinks it was really good until just the last couple of years and was like, are you kidding me? You know, J. Edgar Hoover's name is on the building. What was J. Edgar Hoover about? You had Republican and Democrat presidents saying he's got blackmail files on everybody in Washington. And he did. When he died, he had his secretary going in and destroying all this stuff. This has been, it goes all the way back to the beginning of a lot of these authoritarian things. When he first came to power in the palmer raids under woodrow wilson you know that's where he cut his teeth and

uh he he was uh he was a horrible authoritarian propagandist blackmailer criminal his entire life this whole organization has been tainted but only now do the uh conservatives see it because it's being they're the target now i think part of that has to do with the general American embrace of the philosophy of Jeremy Bentham and utilitarianism. And to get away from that and to get back to a principled outlook where fair play matters, honesty matters, words matter, they have definitions, all of that sort of a thing, that's how we combat this ultimately. Not say, well, you know, this suits us now and we can leverage and maneuver this to our benefit. Rather, let's just do what's right.

Let's do what's decent. Let's behave. Let's not be tricky. There is an appeal to that, I think. And the more that we talk about that, I think the better things will be. Yeah, I agree. Let's talk about cars because you do do car reviews. We always talk about politics.

Oh, yeah. You got a review of the 2023 Chevy Blazer, a practical car that people can get. Tell people what you think about that. Well, what I think, among other things, is it's one of the few vehicles in its class that you can still get with a V6 without a turbo, and it's only a $500 option, and it's available on all except the base trims. And that's, you know, it's kind of sad, the commentary, when you think that, you know, that's something to champion, because if you went back just a few years, a vehicle of that type, you know, the 4,000-pound-ish SUV kind of vehicle, it would have come standard with the V6.

But because of the Davos crowd, that's going away, and you have these little four-cylinder engines, often turbocharged, often paired with a hybrid electric drivetrain, and so on and so forth. Would I still like to have the old Blazer? You remember the old Blazer that had a V8 and was a real 4x4? Sure, but this is still a good family vehicle, and it's not priced absurdly. It's about $35,000 to start. And by the way, I'm working on an article. Did you know what the average transaction price for a new car was in 2022? What's that? $48,000. No, you're kidding me. Yeah. No, I was, we haven't been in the market for quite a while. I wait. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, and then I looked into it a little further because I remembered, you know, I thought, wait, wait, that's not right. And sure enough, you know, if you go back about two, three years, uh, between $32,000 and $35,000. So we've seen this enormous uptick in the cost of vehicles.

And part of that has to do with inflation. Part of that has to do with this electrification, people buying these electric cars, almost all of which start around $50,000. Well, of course, we've also had a big back-and-forth backlash and whiplash and everything in the supply chains. It's wreaked havoc. It looks like CarMax and Carvana, is it? They may be going out of business because, you know, first you had shortages of new cars, even if you could afford them,

and then the price of used cars shot straight up. And so, you know, CarMax and other companies like that are buying these used cars, and then the market just fell out. The price dropped for the used cars, and then the market just fell out. The price dropped for the used cars, and they're stuck with these cars they paid too much for. Yeah, they bought high, and now they're selling low. But to get back to the Blazer, if you're in the market for a family kind of a vehicle, much as I have issues with General Motors as a company, it's a good vehicle, particularly with the V6.

I would encourage people to avoid these little turbocharged four-cylinder engines because they're just not that durable. A V6 without a turbo that has adequate displacement, adequate power, that isn't under a lot of stress all the time. If you want a long-haul vehicle that's not going to cost you a fortune after the warranty runs out, that's what you ought to be looking for, in my opinion. Yeah, and I remember a few years ago, you found an electric car that you liked, the Chevy Volt, because it had a generator that was charging things. I just saw this last Friday that Mazda said, yeah, we're going to bring back the MX-30, which was essentially the same thing. They had a generator on the car that could charge the batteries, but they only sold just over 500 of those in the U.S., and they were all sold in California, and then they shut the thing down. And then there was talk that they were going to come back

and make the generator the rotary engine. And it could be really small and compact and lightweight, and everybody got, well, that's going to be cool. But it looks like they're going to do the same thing again. It looks like they're maybe not even bringing it to the U.S. What is going on with that? Because I don't understand. Some people are saying, well, that's going to be cool. But it looks like they're going to do the same thing again. It looks like they're maybe not even bringing it to the U.S. What is going on with that? Because I don't understand. Some people are saying, well, this looks like this was designed for regulatory compliance,

and yet the regulators don't want any emissions. That's essentially what killed the vote, right? Yeah, even though these things are immensely practical and eliminate all of the functional problems with electric cars. You don't have to worry about plugging in. You don't have to worry about plugging in. You don't have to worry about running out of range. You can just get in and drive it because if the battery runs low, the onboard gas generator engine will fire up and it will produce electricity

and you just keep on going. But politically, the problem is that it's not quite a zero emissions vehicle. And it emits.00 whatever the percentage is more of whatever the uh the anathema products uh are and we just can't have that and so that's why they're you know it's difficult for them to invest and commit to producing a vehicle that has already been outlawed effectively in in you know california washington state oregon number of these states have said that only zero emissions vehicles may be sold be sold after, what is it, 2030, 2035. And even if this vehicle emits essentially nothing, it's still not technically a zero-emissions vehicle.

And so they are precluded from selling it in those markets. And that's huge. What are you going to build a vehicle for that you're not legally able to sell? Yeah, they went from cheering the Previa, which is a hybrid, to, oh, we're not even going to allow those now. But what I don't understand about it is, you know this has been known about the chevy volt why would they redesign yet another car i mean i don't understand why they would even come up with a mazda mx-30 with a rotary engine in it if they're not going to sell it and if it's going to be banned in various places because uh you know it's not a zero emission car do you have any idea why they're doing that? Yeah, I do. Actually, I think that Toyota and Mazda, those two in particular, they're hedging their bets.

Akio Toyota, who's the head of the company, has publicly, you know, come out and kind of said that, you know, these electric cars are maybe not really the future. And I think they're investing in this sort of technology because they know that this thing is going to face plant. And when it does, they're going to be in a really good position to offer vehicles that actually meet consumers' needs and which people can afford to buy. And I think, yeah, you're right. Toyota, Mazda, I would include in that Porsche because Porsche is talking about the e-fuels and everything. They understand it's not going to be practical to charge everybody through the centrally controlled grid. There's not going to be practical to charge everybody through the centrally controlled grid. There's not going to be sufficient capacity. Everybody can see that as they're struggling to try to heat their homes in Europe.

And so they know that there's no future in that. But then again, you've got this chicken and egg thing. As long as they play along with this narrative that we've got have zero emissions they're basically cutting themselves off of the past that's the key thing you know you do it i do it all the time everybody's got to oppose this fundamental thing uh that we got to minimize emissions forget about that that's not about emissions it's about omissions they want to omit all of this stuff out of your it's as phony as that well we're going to give kids asthma if they've got gas ranges. Give me a break.

Yeah, well, and I'm very careful to make the distinction between emissions as most people, when they hear that word, what they think about are things that result in air pollution. That's right. That cause smog. That's right.

Those emissions are a non-issue anymore, and they have been since the 90s. New cars emit hardly any of those emissions, but it's been reframed such that carbon dioxide now is the emission that they mean when they use that word. And so therefore, the way to address that is to challenge this climate change religion thing that they're trying to create the new narrative around.

It's as specious as the airfingers quote pandemic. It's the same sort of trickery. And once we do that, then we win. That's right. That's right. Yeah. I worked with a guy who had spent 30 years with the EPA. He started with the EPA and he started with the EPA as the EPA was being formed. And it was all in the early eight, in the early days, it was all about air pollution and water pollution and things like that. And he was all on board with that, but then it turned into this green climate agenda and he was not on board with that.

He retired and he started opposing them. And that's where I got involved in an organization that I was doing some videos for them. But that, that is the pivot that they made. You know, they started out by saying, we're going to have to have a super fund to clean up these polluted rivers

and the dirty air. And that was fine. But, you know, they used that to get their nose under the tent. And then you had mission creep, which is what bureaucracy is always doing. People's reasonable concerns against them of a piece with the pandemic. You know, nobody wanted to see mass death. And so they manipulated people on that basis. But this whole thing with carbon dioxide, it's of a piece with masks work and that, you know, these drugs that aren't vaccines being pushed down people's throats. It's important to just challenge the fundamental premise and not argue with them on the accepted premise that, oh, there's a great pandemic afoot. Oh, grow. We've got to wear masks. Got to get vaccines. Same thing with this climate change shibboleth. That has to be challenged. I point out to people, do you know what the percentage of the Earth's atmosphere is? It's carbon dioxide.

Most of them have no idea. And I point out it's 0.04%. And then you're going to tell me that somehow by eliminating motor vehicles, engine vehicles, you're going to reduce that by a fraction of that fraction of a percent. And somehow that is going to avert catastrophic climate change. Yeah, we understand what the agenda is. It's always been, whether it's going to be global freezing, global warming, or pandemic, they always wanted to do the same thing, which tells you that all three of them are phony. The fact that they hide their data and they won't debate you, they try to censor you, that has always been the continuing thing. Oh, you're a climate denier. Well, you've got to be shut down. Then we saw it with the pandemic. People, I think,

are starting hopefully to understand that this is just a narrative tactic. It's just a tyranny. But while we're talking about the price of cars, you've got another article, Default Tsunami. Talk about that. It's not just the CarMax who are buying high and selling low. Talk about what happens to individuals. Yeah, well, another interesting figure that I came up upon the other day was that as of last year, about 20% of all the new car loans issued were for a record seven years long. And a significant portion of those were issued for used car loans, if you can imagine that. So somebody who's bought an already depreciated car for a seven-year car loan,

and what's going to happen, of course, is that these vehicles are not going to be worth continuing to make payments on, and a lot of people are either going to just decide they don't want to or that they can't because they haven't got the means to do it anymore. And we're already seeing the canaries in the coal mine chirping about this. There's a lot of evidence out there that defaults on new and used car loans are rising. And so a lot of these vehicles are going to just be dumped on the market, and that is going to depress the price of vehicles, which is good news for anybody who's in the market or going to be in the market for a vehicle. The prices are going to come down soon.

Yeah. Talk about the canary in the coal mine. The canaries are not laying any eggs, but the chickens aren't laying too many either for a lot of different reasons right supply chain things tell us a little bit about how your chickens are coming along because you're working in that area too not just getting the uh electronics out of the car so that you can keep the thing going but you're also working on chickens and ducks i think yeah you know every once in a while i do something right and one of those things was to uh to build my coop and to get myself a flock of chicken and ducks. And I say, I pat myself on the back for it. I was at the grocery store the other day, and it's probably the same where you are. And a dozen eggs is now about seven bucks.

Yes. Yes. That's right. If you can find them. So yeah, I get a nice discount because all I have to do is go out and pick them up from the birds, which is wonderful. And of course, you know, nutritionally that they're a lot better, and there's all of that argument. But really, the fundamental point here, I think anybody who's not concerned about the prospect of food either becoming unaffordable or unavailable is living in a fantasy world, and they really need to face up to the fact that not only do these people want to take away our mobility, they want to take away our ability to eat.

And it's really important to figure out ways to make sure that we don't starve. And this is one of the ways that I'm doing that. You know, I was looking at articles covering Davos and opinion pieces, and I came across one where the guy says, well, you know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and this isn't a conspiracy. It's out in the open. It's like, well, I don't know that a conspiracy has to be secret, but what is in the open? And they're telling everybody about it. They don't want you to have any meat or dairy. You've got an organization called C40 that's got almost a hundred cities, large cities involved in it. They don't want you to have, uh, uh, three, more than three articles of clothing per year. Uh, you can take a flight once every three years, but not more than a thousand miles and on and on,

you know, ban the electric, uh, ban all autom all automobiles and all the rest of this stuff. So it is an amazingly detailed authoritarian vision of a dystopian medieval society. So we're going to have to do this stuff on our own. And, you know, if we don't get the public to wake up as to what is behind this and realize what a lie is being sold to us. We're going to be in that basket. And I think one of the key ways that they're going to push this, and I think it's going to happen pretty soon, maybe this year, is going to be CBDC.

We're going to see so much stuff like that where they can control and track everything that you do everywhere. And they'll limit you to the number of eggs if you don't have chickens. That's exactly what they're doing. Yeah, I'm absolutely terrified of that. I hope that there is enough awareness of the danger of that percolating out there that that ends up getting stopped in its tracks, because that really could be the end of any semblance of freedom of action that we have, short of going completely amateur or off the grid.

That's right. Before we run out of time, tell us how you secured your chickens because we haven't done that since we moved. And we lost two flocks in Texas to coyotes and aerial predators and stuff. So how do you secure them? Well, nothing's perfect. But what I have is a high-fenced-in run area that I keep them in for whenever I'm not around to supervise. Otherwise, I let them out in free range. Now, at night, they go back in to an enclosed coop that's locked, and it's a heavy-built structure.

So anything short of a big bear would have trouble getting in that. And I also have an electric fence around the perimeter of my run. You know, it's not absolutely perfect. Death can come from above. There are still hawks and eagles and things of that nature. So the best that you can do really is to reduce the prospect of losing your flock. You know, this is part of what farm life is like, and most people have forgotten it. Me too, you know, and I'm, so I'm relearning it. This is

what we're all going to have to relearn. That's right. Yeah. We lost our flocks in the middle of the day. We let them free range during the day. We lost one flock that way, but, uh, you know, we've had coyotes attack and we've had hawks attack. We got a ton of hawks, uh, out here in Tennessee where we are. Uh, so yeah, that is, that is a struggle, um, trying to keep these things alive, but, uh, it is going to be a struggle for us to try to navigate through this continuing. We got the supply chain after they threw the wrench in it. I mean, it's just bouncing back and forth and breaking and all these different places. And part of it, a big part of this disappearance of the eggs,

a lot of people who are egg farmers in the egg industry are saying a lot of it is the supply chain. Can't get feed to them, can't get the other stuff out there. There's so many things that they've broken. Thank you for joining us. Eric Peters, EP Autos, always a great site to see what is going on politically, with liberty, and with transportation. Thank you, Eric. Appreciate it. You bet. Thank you, David. The common man.

They created common core and dumbed 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.
