Starting point is 00:00:00 Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 19th of July, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to begin with what everyone is talking about, and that is the information that was released yesterday that Trump is going to be indicted for something about January the 6th. But I think what most outlets are not talking about, on the conservative side, you've got several mainstream media outlets talking about what has happened to 16 people in Michigan that are being prosecuted for felonies that total up to 85 years because they were, quote unquote, fake electors. And the alternative right wing press is so
Starting point is 00:01:36 obsessed with Trump that they even talk about these poor people being victimized with this. We're going to begin with all of that. Stay with us. Oh, and by the way, you know, Trump is now apparently the raider of the lost menorah. Yeah, we'll explain what that is coming up here. We'll be right back. The news of this indictment being rolled out was like Christmas for the people on CNN, MSNBC, other places like that. As a matter of fact, I don't think they get that excited about celebrating Christmas as they do the indictment of Donald Trump. And they were just gushing all over themselves, every little tiny detail. And the hero worship of Jack Smith was truly amazing. It is truly amazing how both left and right have their little idols, their little heroes, and they make them into little demigods, little idols. Take a look at this report from CNN about spotting Jack Smith, their hero,
Starting point is 00:02:49 at a subway. And welcome back to our continuing special coverage. This is a new video that we have just been getting into CNN special counsels. That's Jack Smith getting lunch at subway, spotted on this historic day coming out of Washington, D.C. subway. Earlier this morning, CNN confirmed. Smith's team notified he's a target of the far-reaching investigation into the Pontus deal of the 2020 election. Mr. Smith did not answer questions that were asked of him as he was getting into his vehicle. Yeah, this is like the broadcast that you have Christmas Eve,
Starting point is 00:03:21 supposedly from NORAD. We're tracking Santa Claus, right? Santa Claus has just been spotted. Oh, and now he stopped at Subway for some cookies and milk. And because this guy, Jack Smith, is like Santa Claus to the left. He's giving them everything they wished for. CNN self-parodied itself, says MRCTV. On Tuesday, as it tried to discern higher meanings behind special counsel Jack Smith's lunchtime trip to Subway. On the same day, it was revealed that he issued a target letter to former President Trump as part of his January the 6th investigation.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Inside politics host Dana Bash. Talking about it, introduced the senior justice correspondent, Evan Perez, led him with more of a statement than an actual question, says MRCTV. I won't ask you all the less important things about what he got and how he paid and all that, but what is important about the imagery here? You know, subway, what does that say? Is this about ocean gate or something is he implying that trump is imploding because certainly it couldn't be that the prosecution
Starting point is 00:04:33 of trump is imploding couldn't be that it is a fatally flawed or cracked or whatever or that you know trump or jack smith that either or both of them fatally flawed and cracked. It couldn't be that. Could it? Uh, no, it was a clearly want us to see him and the image to be very different from what we saw in the former president's post, uh, of a deranged individual. You see, you have to see him as a normal man who is very humble. He goes to Subway for his lunch and he's just, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington. He's like Jimmy Stewart, just a common man. And then Perez began
Starting point is 00:05:19 by fawning over Smith's alleged man of the people like journey. See, Mr. Smith goes to subway Washington. Yeah. I mean, look, you can, I can count probably five or six sandwich shops between his office and that location that he was at earlier today. He was, he stood in line like everybody else. Wow. How humble of him. He stood in line like everybody else you mean he didn't walk in and
Starting point is 00:05:46 say hey hey uh security clear these people out i'm jack smith make me a sandwich right now he didn't do that is that what uh dana bash and anderson cooper do when they go into subway oh i bet they go into subway a lot. Don't you think? Uh, now I couldn't tell whether he was a foot long or is it, was he six inches long? Okay. Uh, we're not really sure. We'll find out later. I guess, uh, he measures up the next hour on CNN news central. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Caitlin Polance said, um, Jack Smith is tight-lipped. He was spotted today by CNN going to Subway for lunch, picking up a sandwich, leaving and not saying a word. This is CNN. A few minutes later, Chief National Correspondent John King said, and just one last point, Jack Smith. Remember when the classified documents target letter, which Trump announced that there's a lot of commentary, you know, is Jack Smith making a mistake here? Is he leaving this all to Donald Trump? And then they released the indictment and we all said, wow, wow. And then King said, Jack Smith going to subway today as a message to Trump.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Trump tries to intimidate people. He bullies people. He tries to scare you away well there you go uh can't scare him away from subway what is going on with these people and it truly is deranged on both sides and when i saw this i told karen i said well here's what i've been saying uh you know There's Trump derangement syndrome, the dividing line for the Civil War, and you've got lunatic, insane people on either side of that line who are just aching to fight each other. And every time that they do this, Trump's popularity goes up. It's just gone up to 51%. It's going to go higher
Starting point is 00:07:48 with every indictment. There's more that are coming on other things as well. And we don't even know what the charges are with this. Will it be seditious conspiracy? I think so. I agree with Stuart Rhodes. I think that, um, you know, rather than coming after Trump, because Trump is between you and them, uh, Trump through his people under the bus, they came after his people first. And we'll see that with the Michigan electors as well. Uh, they're coming after his people first and then they'll go after him. But guess what? You know, if they cut a deal, guess who they're going to cut it with? I'm going to cut it with, to cut it with Stuart Rhodes, Oath Keepers, or any of the Proud Boys,
Starting point is 00:08:28 or any of the Michigan electors, or any of the other people who just happen to go in and get caught up in this. And there's a story that I've got about an elderly pastor and his son and another elderly man.
Starting point is 00:08:44 On January the 6th, they went to the Capitol. They went there to protest. I don't know what for. I'd like to ask some of these people, what do you think you're going to accomplish on that day? But they have a right to speak out if they're not happy with the election. But I don't know why they ever believed any of the nonsense from Trump and Roger and Alex about how they're going to overturn this election or they're going to take it back or fix it somehow. There was absolutely no way that any of that stuff could happen.
Starting point is 00:09:17 So I don't know. You know, this is not just a protest that, you know, you've rushed this thing through. We have questions. You haven't given us an adequate hearing about the questions that we have. They really thought that they were going to go on January the 6th and pull this stuff all back because they were told that by a lot of people. Now, I don't think it was a crime for them to do that federal crime. I think it was fraud.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I think it was reckless endangerment of these people who went on January 6th. I think they ought to sue the pants off of Trump. Alex is not an attractive defendant. He's probably not going to pay these judgments that he's already got against himself. But Trump, who stole $250 million from these people, they ought to take civil litigation against him. But in terms of criminal stuff, I don't see a crime there. And people understand this isn't a crime,
Starting point is 00:10:10 and that's one of the reasons why his popularity keeps going. But he is the dividing line. You know, people who absolutely hate him, people who absolutely love him, and they want to go after each other. The latest Rasmussen poll shows him crossing the 51% favorability line and is at 73% among Republicans and 47% with independent voters. And they keep making him into a martyr, into a victim.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And I saw this stuff coming up on social media. I saw John Edwards was trending on social media. John Edwards is that the John Edwards that I know from North Carolina. Yeah, it was the Breck girl himself as a Rush Limbaugh used to call him and appropriately. So, you know they had that satellite video they when they had analog uh satellites and i had a friend um who worked with me in engineering he he put up one of these really big satellite dishes and he had a garage door opener attached to it so he could rotate it to different birds right and and he'd show me this stuff that was out there and people would be picking up the feed that was going before the broadcast actually went live uh or you know in between commercial breaks or something like that and these people are talking to themselves
Starting point is 00:11:38 or doing certain things i remember there was one that went viral about Dan Rather, you know, and it was before the first Iraq war. And he's like in a military vehicle and he's gazing out at the desert and the horizon, very thought provoking, right? Deep thoughts. And, uh, after a while he turns around and says to somebody, how's my hair? That's what he's thinking. Anchorman. to somebody, how's my hair? That's what he's thinking. And, uh, so they had one of John Edwards and he is, uh, there at a mirror, you know, combing his hair, you know, over and over again,
Starting point is 00:12:14 you know, flipping it over to the side and he's worried about his hair as well. Um, I'm worried about my hair. Is it still going to be there? It's nothing I can do about it. Um, but, um, anyway, um, the, the, this guy, you know, John Edwards was a thoroughly reprehensible character. He was, uh, as his wife was dying of cancer, he's not only got, uh, you know, hanging around with his mistress and getting rid of her, but he's also taking lots of campaign money, uh, not reporting it properly and using it to support his mistress and her, her baby, their love child. And, uh, so the federal government came after them. And so a lot of people were saying, uh, Republicans against Trump tweet out who wants to tell this moron that Jack Smith prosecuted and convicted
Starting point is 00:13:06 former Democrat vice presidential nominee John Edwards and Democratic Senator Bob Menendez for corruption and what they were doing was they were responding to something that Marjorie Taylor Greene put up about how he was just this weak little servile and a bad lawyer and all the rest of this stuff. Well, she was half right about it. Well, probably 100% right. He is a weak, servile puppet. And he also is a very bad lawyer. And so the Republicans against Trump put this up.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And then everybody went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah, he did come after some Democrats. He came after Bob Menendez, who was getting all kinds of kickback. I think it was from some doctor in Florida. And I don't remember the details of it, but I thought it was a pretty obvious case of corruption. And Jack Smith was in charge of public integrity, right? So he would come after people who were politicians that were corrupt. That was where he was.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And he came after Bob Menendez. He came after John Edwards. And he lost in what should have been slam dunk wins. That's one of the key things to come out of this. Is he actually going to be able to seal the deal on Trump? But of course, it doesn't really matter at this point in time whether he's a good lawyer or not. It really kind of matters as to where he gets the case heard. I've seen Democrats saying, he's awful.
Starting point is 00:14:46 What in the world is he doing having this document case or something in Florida? He should have taken it to Washington, D.C. Well, he may not have been able to do that, but that's the whole point, is that depending on who the judges are, depending on where the jurisdiction is and the jury pool and all, that's what's going to determine this it's not really going to be determined again on the facts of the case like any of this other stuff so going back to um john edwards case uh and this is back in 2012 the breck girl john edwards was publicly exposed at his trial as a staggeringly selfish politician, a shameless liar who cheated on his
Starting point is 00:15:28 wife as she was suffering from incurable cancer. This is Politico at the time. Politico, I mean, the Democrats hated this guy as much as the Republicans did. And yet Jack Smith couldn't get a conviction. Yet it was the Justice Department that wound up publicly being embarrassed on Thursday as federal prosecutors' attempt to turn Edward Smith's deeds into criminal convictions ran aground in the courtroom here. The outcome of the six-week trial was a high-profile blow to the Justice Department's beleaguered public integrity section, which Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, was head of at the time. And it was a,
Starting point is 00:16:05 I told you so moment for many in the legal community who ridiculed the case from its outset. After nine days of deliberation, the jury deadlocked on five of the six felony counts. The former Senator faced, uh, Jack Smith is known for being very aggressive for overging, and for not winning cases. Jurors split eight to four for Edwards on the unresolved campaign finance charges.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Only one juror favored convicting Edwards on a charge that he caused the filing of false reports to the FEC. And this is a similar situation that's happening in Michigan. But, of course, Jack Smith is not involved in that. That's the corrupt LGBT attorney general of Gretchen Whitmer. She tried to push these charges for these Michigan electors to the federal government. They were not interested. So she's doing it herself. And, again, she wants 85 years for each of these 16 Republicans. These are people who were
Starting point is 00:17:06 leaders of the state Republican party in Michigan, and many of them elected officials like mayors. That's the kind of people that get picked by the party in each state as electors. We'll talk about that coming up. But back to this particular case and what people were saying about Jack Smith's previous work. Bringing the case was a black eye for the Justice Department. They said this makes it much worse that the jury saw through it. Said Ken Gross, a campaign finance lawyer, who briefly served as a consultant to Edwards' defense team,
Starting point is 00:17:40 the failure to get a criminal conviction on any count raises a serious question about whether it should have been brought as a criminal case, said a former North Carolina deputy attorney general who sat through the trial as a legal analyst for NBC. He said it's just hard to see how they could have a better opportunity for conviction than they had. I do think it's a huge setback for the government. The decision to go ahead with an indictment of Edwards is made last year by Assistant Attorney General Lanny Brewer and so forth, but it was Jack Smith who headed the public integrity section from 2010-2015. The key question was, did the defendant intend to break the law? It was at the center of all this. When Edwards'
Starting point is 00:18:24 lawyers complained to the judge that the case appeared to be politically motivated, the Justice Department noted that career prosecutors were involved in all the key decisions. The judge rejected a motion to toss the case out, and so they went to trial, and the jury tossed the case out. Well, that's just part of his experience. Again, I thought the case against New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez was much stronger even than that. And that recently was done.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And that was, you know, well, I say recently. It was a couple of years ago, a few years ago. That was initiated by him as well. And, you know, so he doesn't have too great a record. Meanwhile, the GOP, McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy, and all the Republicans, especially DeSantis, this time he's got to come out very hard in favor of Trump, right? And so all the candidates know what happened. You know, even if you have a, if you have a week, um,
Starting point is 00:19:28 I'm not going to be involved in this. I think this is an over prosecution, which is what the Santa said previously said with the case out of Manhattan. And immediately Trump and his people pounce on DeSantis using that as an opportunity to attack the guy that they perceive as a threat. So nobody wants to get on Trump's bad side and the public and party. They're all afraid of him. So now you've got Kevin McCarthy saying, well, maybe what we'll
Starting point is 00:19:52 do is impeach Merrick Garland. House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Merrick Garland after speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor has been directed at other Biden officials. There are just so many. You have Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas, who's part of the open border issue. People wanted to impeach him for that. McCarthy first elevated the topic with a tweet last month touting the testimony of an IRS whistleblower
Starting point is 00:20:26 who has alleged mismanagement of the investigation into Hunter Biden, saying it could serve as a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry. But Representative Daryl Issa from California, a Republican, said, I don't know of a chargeable crime. Well, I don't know what bribery, bribery, you know, cover up, covering up the crimes of Biden, uh, the clear bribery, all the rest of this stuff that's revealed by Hunter's case, uh, being the person who actually, you know, uh, runs the investigation to quote unquote investigation they did a disinvestigation
Starting point is 00:21:07 i guess you could say right where the fbi steps in and says like they've done so many times on so many different things whether you're talking about flight 800 or you're talking about hunter biden's laptop move along there's nothing to see here so they can disinvestigate, protect him. And I think that's a crime, isn't it? Daryl Issa doesn't see that as a crime. If this guy is running it, shouldn't he be impeached? Certainly Biden should be as well, but that would also include Merrick Garland, many others, and the FBI. It's a target-rich environment, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:43 You've got a lot of people in the fbi um but the reality is is that if someone is faithfully executing the desires and orders of the president said isa then we're within the bounds of what cabinet officers can do okay so this is like the nuremberg defense right right? But you're going to impeach me? I was just covering up for Biden's son and the corrupt business dealings of the Biden family because he told me to. I'm just doing my job. How should I be impeached for that? I don't know. Maybe Daryl Lissa got some of those mushrooms from Janet Yellen or something. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I just love this guy, Biden. Isn't he great? Look at him. He's just amazing. Andy Harris, a Republican congressman, said, I was one of the original co-sponsors of the Secretary Blinken impeachment. We ought to take that up first
Starting point is 00:22:35 for incredibly horribly done withdrawal from Afghanistan. They don't care about that. When a prosecutor shields his boss's son from investigators, it smells like a cover-up. Garland's Department of Justice did not aggressively follow the money. Why? Are they afraid about where that trail ends? And then, of course, we've got the cocaine stuff that just happened and other things. And that is relevant because Biden has been such a hypocrite on this. One of the biggest drug warriors of the 20th century, Biden has been. Among other things, the IRS whistleblower who says that
Starting point is 00:23:12 Attorney Weiss was blocked from getting authority to bring charges outside of Delaware. Who would do that? Well, that would be Merrick Garland. Jim Jordan, who serves as the House Judiciary Committee chair, chairman, says serves as a clearinghouse for such inquiries. He backed up the idea of impeaching Merrick Garland. And of course, that's going to be very popular with Trump's base and with Trump.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And so that's a big win for them to do that. But I think it is justified. And Jamie Raskin said, theans need to recall the constitutional standard for impeachment is high crimes and misdemeanors not doing stuff that donald trump disagrees with well i think covering up crimes i think uh that type of thing and you cover up the crime you're now an accessory to that crime to to that bribery, that corruption, and the rest of it. I think that that is clearly the case. But I also understand that they are doing this because they want to curry favor with Trump and his supporters as well.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's the reality of this. And so when you look at, it's not just Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, all the top Republicans are jumping to Trump's defense over this. And McCarthy said, this is not equal justice. They treat people differently and they go after their adversaries. And that's true. Steve Scalise, you know, we never did look up to see. We talked about that travis you and i about uh the the democrat who shot steve scalise and some of these other republicans uh and um you know
Starting point is 00:24:56 shot at them and everything i wonder what kind of ascendancy he got is he going to jail for 85 years or did they let him off with probation what was it look that up and let me know um anyway um yeah jack smith is a lousy attorney says uh marjorie taylor green and that's what the other person was responding to uh said he's just a political hack and the other well he got convictions with john edwards and no he didn't um and you had jim jordan tweet out well you attacked the portland federal courthouse, no problem. You intimidate SCOTUS justices to influence the court decision, no big deal. But if you're Trump and you do nothing wrong, prosecute.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Well, I think that the real analogy would be to look at what they did not do to the Antifa people and what they are doing to the January 6th people who have been in jail, who have been tortured in jail and abused in jail, some of whom have committed suicide. And while Trump has been out there living the high life at Mar-a-Lago with his boxes of documents and holding court and collecting, again, tens of millions of dollars from the people he already grifted over this election non-investigation that he was running. Got $250 million after the election.
Starting point is 00:26:18 He raised more money after the election than he did before the election. The Department of Justice has become a political agency targeting Biden's political opponents while covering up Biden's crimes, said Representative Mary Miller. And that's the key part of this. But the people who are suffering from all of this politicization are the little people on the bottom, more so than Trump, far more so. Prosecutors in Georgia are conducting separate investigations and efforts by Trump to reverse his election law in that state. And let me just say that, you know, this whole deal where he calls up and he says, uh, just, you got to find this number of votes. Now there's a Republican
Starting point is 00:26:58 who complained about that, but there's a lot of Republicans who hate Trump as much as they do the Democrats. I think that's nonsense. Yeah. He wasn't telling him to do something illegal. He's like, we got to find this many votes. You know, you got to do, you got to investigate this. I think it was awkwardly worded like he does many times. I don't think there was a crime there. There might be some perjury traps for Giuliani and even for Trump on all of that.
Starting point is 00:27:23 But I don't think that was a crime. And then we look at the way that Trump on all of that. But I don't think that was a crime. And then when you look at the way that Trump presented all this stuff, when he talked about his indictment, it truly is telling about this guy. I'll just read you the opening paragraph here. Wow, on Sunday night, while I was with my family, having just arrived from the turning point event in Florida where I won the straw poll against all of the Republican candidates with 85.7% with all polls showing me leading the Republican
Starting point is 00:27:49 primary by very substantial numbers, almost everyone predicting I will be the Republican nominee for president, and as I am leading Democrats Joe Biden, Democrat Joe Biden in the poll by a lot, horrifying news for our country was given to me by my attorneys. Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Biden's DOJ, sent a letter again. It was Sunday night. On Sunday night, he sent this letter. Yeah, because you know how Trump likes to keep the day aside
Starting point is 00:28:21 for worshiping God and everything. He gets this indictment on a Sunday night saying that I am a target of the January 6th grand jury investigation. And he says, so now Joe Biden's attorney general, Merrick Garland, who I turned down for U.S. Supreme Court. In retrospect, based on his corrupt and unethical actions, a very wise decision. Okay, let's talk about that. Scalia died on February the 13th, 2016.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Trump didn't even win the election until November 2016. In February, he still wasn't even doing all that well, and there hadn't been any primaries done. And it was still an open question in February. You may have had New Hampshire and Iowa, but that was about it when Scalia died. And hours after his death, and this was reported at the time, multiple sources, hours after his death, Mitch McConnell said, um, uh, afterwards, Mitch McConnell said, as one of my, uh, my most proudest moments was when I looked Obama right in the eye and I said, you will not fill that vacancy. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 But he publicly also said the next Supreme court justice should be chosen by the next president. The American people should have a say in the court's direction. And this is Mitch McConnell. I'm not making a hero out of Mitch McConnell. I don't like Mitch McConnell. But the decision to not have Merrick Garland become the Supreme Court justice, this was all done way before Trump won the presidency. It was done before he won primaries really
Starting point is 00:30:06 and he's taking credit for this it was mitch mcconnell i mean this is the kind of derangement that is everywhere today uh so a journalist julie kelly said smith knows this case is small potatoes compared to what he's about to inflict on Trump and several associates for January the 6th, the documents case. That's what she's talking about. It's very likely Smith will use the classified documents prosecution as
Starting point is 00:30:35 leverage to seek pretrial detention for Trump when the special counsel indicts Trump for several J6 related offenses, which could include seditious conspiracy. You know, it will, it's a foregone conclusion. We absolutely know that it will include that.
Starting point is 00:30:55 So you have DeSantis and many others, um, who are very careful about what they have to say. Uh, the Santa says, um, it's wrong for the country to go down the road of criminalizing political differences. And we know that that is all part of this. Absolutely true. He said Alvin Bragg stretched a statute in Manhattan to be able to try to target Trump. Most people, even people on the left, acknowledge that if it wasn't Trump, that case would not have likely been brought against a normal civilian, says DeSantis. And so you have a situation where the Department of Justice, the FBI, has been weaponized against people they don't like. And the number one example of that happened to be against Trump with Russia collusion.
Starting point is 00:31:37 That was not a legitimate investigation that has been done to try to drive Trump out of office, he said. He said, I don't think it serves us to have a presidential election focused on what happened four years ago in January. I want to focus on looking forward. I don't want to look back. I do not want to see him. I hope he doesn't get charged. I don't think it'll be good for the country.
Starting point is 00:31:57 But at the same time, I've got to focus on looking forward. And that's what we're going to do. You see, there is no, and he's absolutely right about that. Are we really talking, and he's talking about CBDC, and we should be talking about, if we're going to look backwards, we need to take a look at what Trump did, and we need to take a look at what the governors did, and the public health officials did,
Starting point is 00:32:21 and we need to shut that down so they don't have the mechanism to do whatever the World Health Organization tells them to do in the future. They prepared for this 20 years ago after doing their war game and then having their false flag attack with 9-11 the week after they had the anthrax attack, and then two months after that, they put out model legislation. They prepared, oh, look, we did a war game simulation. Oh, look, we have 9-11 simulation. Oh, look, we have nine 11. I know we, now we got anthrax. And so now we got to worry about bio warfare attacks. And so here's model legislation for all of you to adopt.
Starting point is 00:32:57 We've got to undo that. You know, we got all these tripwires and usurpations of powers all over the place. And if we don't do that, uh, then, um, oh, you, uh, if we don't do that, I see, um, if we don't do that, if we just keep focusing on Trump and January 6th, they're going to be able to pull this stuff off on us again. That's what they want. They want to put forward a guy who I don't believe is going to win the general election. He's incredibly popular with Republicans, and they keep making him more popular by these politicized attacks.
Starting point is 00:33:38 But he is just as hated by independents, and especially Democrats, as he is loved by Republicans. I don't think it serves him well. It serves us well. I mean, they're pushing this guy forward. They think that they can beat him in the general election. That's why they keep coming up with these charges. Travis, you put up that that guy who shot Escalina died of his wounds. I didn't even know they shot him.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Well, there you go. So he got a life sentence. a squint and died of his wounds. I didn't even know they shot him. Um, well, there you go. Um, so yeah, got a life sentence, but you know, if they hadn't killed him, they would have let him go. I'm, I'm sure that would have happened.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Uh, Jake Tapper pressed the Santas on possible charges against Trump asking if he meant the former president shouldn't be charged regardless of whether he committed any crimes. He said, no, what I'm saying is if you're stretching statutes to try to criminalize political disagreements, that is wrong, said DeSantis. And he said, we don't know what's
Starting point is 00:34:33 going to happen, but I can tell you with Bragg, that was stretching criminal law. The evidence of criminality was very weak. And even if that existed, other people would not have been charged under those circumstances. And that is the problem, said DeSantis. Well, Chris Christie is not happy with that. He wants Trump's scalp over that. But in general, Trump is doing really well. He leads all 2024 contenders with $ and a half million dollars cash on hand and um so you know he's flush with cash from the supporters who love him uh fueled by indictments as brightbart points out tim scott actually is in second place and biden is in third place with cash raised and
Starting point is 00:35:24 they're about the same. They're both about, you know, Tim Scott's 21 million. Biden is 20 million. Trump's 22 million. Uh, DeSantis came in fourth place with 12 million.
Starting point is 00:35:33 This is cash on hand. Uh, again, um, you know, DeSantis had raised about $150 million counting the pack. Um, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:43 very, very strong showing what is happening now in terms of expenditures. Are they spending the money faster than they're bringing it in? Apparently? Yes. With the Santas, uh, Rama Swami has 9 million RFK jr. And Nikki Haley about four and a half, 5 million. Uh, so, uh, and by the way, Pence may not even be able to make the debate because of his lack of financial support. Uh, but, uh, and I don't think he did himself any favors on Friday with what he said to Tucker Carlson. So when we look at all these different cases, um, you know, where does this stand? Well, the guardian doesn't like Trump, but this up and
Starting point is 00:36:22 they, they talked about it, but just to review, uh, you know, you've got the documents case, 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information. Um, that to me seems like a really ironclad case because even Trump's favorite lawyer, Dershowitz, the only thing he could come up with was, well, maybe Trump thought they were still classified, but maybe somebody else had declassified him. That was the best excuse he could come up with. And I mean, that's, this guy is a master excuse maker, you know, Dershowitz. So even his devious mind could not come up with any explanation other than that. Well, maybe they really were, um, you know, uh, declassified. He just thought that they were top secret documents. Then there's the hush money case in New York, 34 felony charges, uh, falsifying business
Starting point is 00:37:18 records. I don't, I think that's an overcharge, but again, this is being tried in New York. So, you know, um know they may wind up getting that that is um um that is um cohen making the secret arrangements to daniels and cohen has already been convicted on these charges uh then there is the january 6th case we don't know where those charges are but i'm certain it's going to be seditious conspiracy and other things like that. The House impeached Trump for inciting the insurrection,
Starting point is 00:37:50 but he was acquitted by the Senate. Remember that. This is a jury of 100 senators who found Trump not guilty of any crimes or misdemeanors that Jack Smith may charge him with. This is, I think, going to be an interesting aspect of it. But I don't know. I mean, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how this is going to work out.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Then there's the case in Georgia, which, again, I think this is nonsense unless there's some kind of a perjury trap that's there. And then the lawsuit with eugene carroll uh and again this is um i i don't really know or care about that they can it's a he said she said type of thing but um there's actually two of them she uh said that he had raped her many years after the fact in a book that she put out he publicly attacked attacked her, so she sued him for defamation. And then in New York, just like in California, they temporarily lifted the statute of limitations
Starting point is 00:38:54 for people who had been sexually assaulted or for minors who had been abused. That's why you had the lawsuits against, um, uh, Steven Tyler. You had the big lawsuit against Paramount that I thought was legitimate was thrown out. I mean, it was a clear case that, uh, the director of Romeo and Juliet Franco's FRL was, uh, you know, doing and coerced them into doing kiddie porn. Uh, they were underage at the time he did, uh, nude shots of them and everything. And, uh, Paramount big time, but they did not win. The judge threw the case out.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It was going to be too big a thing to take down an entire corporation, and it was like $500 million or something like that. But those cases that came up in California where they said, well, we're going to temporarily suspend the statute of limitations for any of this stuff, and you can have a civil case against these people. We're not going to criminally prosecute them, but you can have a civil case. And so when that happened, she had already sued him for defamation because he criticized what she said in the book. So then she sued him for the actual sexual assault.
Starting point is 00:40:03 So that's going around as well. But I want to focus on what's going on in Michigan, because I think this is the true outrage. And it's not really being picked up except by the left. The left is picking it up and saying, see, look at these criminal Republicans out there trying to get Trump in office. And I don't see the conservatives coming to the rescue or the defense of these people in Michigan. I think this is one of the most egregious things. This is like that case, like I mentioned, you know, the elderly pastor and the other person, they were there on January the 6th and they said, you know, it's super cold out
Starting point is 00:40:41 here. We're getting numb. And these elderly men have to use the bathroom. And they got there after long after any violence was going on. And there were police standing there at the door. And they went up and said, is there someplace we can use the bathroom? Sure. You can come on in here.
Starting point is 00:40:55 It's right around there. And they went in there. They were in there for nine minutes. And they are looking at decades in prison now. They went in, used the bathroom. They came out. They said, you know, how do I find my, where should I go to get out of here?
Starting point is 00:41:13 They said one female police officer tried to direct them onto the floor of the Capitol building, you know, the chamber. And they said, nah, she just seemed wrong about that. So they went in the opposite direction and they found their way out. They ran for a total of nine minutes. And these guys are looking at decades,
Starting point is 00:41:34 which for the elderly men will be life sentences for asking some police officers, can I use the bathroom? Sure, it's right in here. Life sentence. Nobody's coming to their rescue. Nobody's talking about that. Everybody's talking about Trump.
Starting point is 00:41:48 You understand how he is the focus. We don't care if they do CBDC. We don't care if they lock us down in smart cities or freedom cities that he puts out there. If they put down a 5G control grid, if they take our cars, if they destroy our food supply, if they geoengineer the planet, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:06 get rid of the CO2 and the sunlight and all the rest of this stuff. We don't care what they do to us. What are they doing to Trump? That's what I want to know. What are they doing to Trump? Well, here's what they did to these Michigan legislators. And, uh, I've got to find, here it is. Anybody else?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Electors, not legislators. The electors are already here. There are electors. The electors are already here. They've been checked in. No, sir. Not all the electors are inside. Capital is closed. All 16 electors that we've been advised by the governor's staff
Starting point is 00:42:37 that we're going to be here to vote in electoral college have been checked in. They're already here. But these are the rest of the electors. I understand. They're here. They're here. The capital is closed. Sir? Captain. But these are the rest of the electors. I understand. It's there.
Starting point is 00:42:46 The answer. Is the Capitol closed? Sir? Captain, the electors are also, the GOP electors are also on the governor's certificate of ascertainment. I'm not going to get into a political debate. I'm following orders. It's the official sealed document.
Starting point is 00:42:58 The certificate of ascertainment has also the GOP electors. They are here. They're trying to do their constitutional duty. I understand. And their constitutional duty requires them to be at the GOP electors, they are here. They're trying to do their constitutional duty. I understand. And their constitutional duty requires them to be at the Senate chamber today at 2 p.m. They're here.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I understand they're not being permitted in. If you have a problem, you can contact the governor's office, the Speaker of the House, the Senate Majority Leader. I saw the governor's press release this morning. It said due to COVID. Is that the reason being given? No. All right. That was what the press release this morning is that due to covet is that the reason being given no all right that was what the president said is there another reason why you'd have to ask you'd have to ask the governor's office to answer the question i don't have we have a copy of paperwork that was prepared as electors under their constitutional duty uh can i speak to the sergeant
Starting point is 00:43:37 of arms of the senate in the chamber today he's he's in the meeting right now with the electoral college he's not available. Captain Green? First Lieutenant Green. First Lieutenant, can you deliver this? I cannot. Okay. Is there anyone here that's willing to allow us? I've got elected officials and electors to deliver this to the Senate today at 2 p.m.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Okay. I can ask the Senate Majority Leader, the House Majority Leader. Senator Mike Shirky, would you deliver that to him? Tell him Ian Northen- You can contact his office directly and make arrangements to drop that off to him, sir. I'm not gonna take anything. You're not letting this in the building. His office is inside. He's not here.
Starting point is 00:44:15 What's that? Senator, he's not here. So are you telling me that the Senate Chamber is in session and the Senate Leader's not here? Yeah, so you'd have to contact his office and make arrangements to meet with him to turn over- Somebody from the Governor's team that's running this? You'd have to contact the governor's office with their team to make arrangements for them. These people are really dangerous, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:44:33 Statute, a statute, MCL. Having a discussion? We've got some paperwork here we'd like to give it. Senate chamber today at 2 p.m. They're trying. I'm telling you that they're not going to be allowed to admit the captains, sir. All right, thank you, Lieutenant.
Starting point is 00:44:44 You're welcome. Thank you. And then they turn around and quietly leave. What an outrageous mob this is. I don't know, they look mostly peaceful to me. ...to speak for themselves, but the hope and plan is for them to follow their constitutional duty. Under the U.S. Constitution, not just the Michigan Constitution, but under the US Constitution,
Starting point is 00:45:08 the electors have a duty to vote for their chosen candidate. In this case, the GOP electors slate their chosen candidate, President Trump. The Democrat electors are inside, I'm told, slating their chosen candidate, Joseph Biden. There's actually Green Party and Libertarian Party electors selected before the election as well. So the statute says it has to be done at 2 p.m. That's why they're here trying to do it. That paperwork is signed and sealed and it's trying to be
Starting point is 00:45:34 delivered. Stevie Wonder and Motown, I think, said that a little better than I did. But the point is, is that's not being happened. They're being stopped from fulfilling their constitutional duty. Now I would call upon the Michigan legislature in the people's house, this is the legislature building in the people's house, to finish their investigation so that we know which set of electors should ultimately be chosen before a rash decision is made, especially while that investigation is ongoing, especially why a judge of Antrim County, Judge Elsenheimer, issued just this morning, released a previously sealed or previously proprietary report, a forensic report that shows the voting machines used in Antrim County and in several other important counties throughout the state showed an error rate above 60% on
Starting point is 00:46:23 the tabulation of the counting of votes. Michigan law and under federal law under the help America's vote act that error rate is supposed to be less than 0.2 percent but in Antrim County based on those machines the error rate was over 60% and it would kick it into a adjudication by software by code it would kick it into an adjudication where the error rate was over 80%. That affected the race up in Antrim County. It was called user error and human error. That wasn't the case at all. That report released this morning over the objections of the Attorney General's office and over the objections of the Secretary of State's office, they tried to prevent
Starting point is 00:47:01 that report from being released. Okay, so understand that he's got some legitimate concerns about the integrity, the errors in the election. They're not being heard. And they have not been heard by anybody. As a matter of fact, the legislature has not heard it either. I don't agree with their tactic there. I mean, you cannot self-appoint yourself as an elector. As he pointed out, and you heard him say, well, you got Green Party electors, we've got Libertarian Party electors. I've been an elector for the Libertarian Party, you know, 40 years ago, whatever, when, you know, I was involved with them. Just in case the
Starting point is 00:47:42 Libertarian candidate won the popular vote, I would have been declared an elector to the electoral college. So they have a slate of electors for each party. It's not necessarily the way this is supposed to work under the constitution, but this is the way that we've been doing this now for, uh, you know, this is the tradition. It's not the constitutional way to do it. Uh, you know, state government should appoint these people. Um, and, um, you know, but, but we've made it flowing out of the elections. And so, um, the, um, the very fact that you get your name on a list for that particular party doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Uh, the, uh, government, the state government has to recognize your candidate as the winner in order for you to be an elector. So I disagreed with what they were doing. But look, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way they were doing this. You saw that. You saw a crowd of people. They showed up. Even that lawyer's name is Ian Northen.
Starting point is 00:48:39 He's a private attorney representing the Amistad Project, he said, which is affiliated with the Thomas More Society. And so they were looking at the error issues, and they wanted to make their statement. They had grievances about the way the votes are counted. They have a right to publicly redress those grievances. Whether you agree with them or not is not the issue. That should not be criminalized. And that's what this Michigan attorney general is doing, criminalizing.
Starting point is 00:49:10 People have the audacity to be an opponent to her politically. I think this is the most outrageous thing I've seen anywhere. This is far worse than anything they've done to Trump. Far worse. You know, that and the people that got caught up, oh yeah, come on in, walk around. It's like, okay, now you're going to jail. And so these people, again, they put on the mask to be polite, you know, and as he turned around and some of them were not wearing the mask that
Starting point is 00:49:34 were in the background. Um, and as he turned around, can you deliver the, will you take this? Will you do it? No, not doing it, not taking it. Will you give it to so-and-so we tell the sergeant of arms to come here and take the, not, not doing anything. Nope, nope. You're not coming in. I'm not taking anything. You call these people. Well, they're all in there now, you said. Well, I'm not giving it to them. All that type of stuff. Stonewalling them on that. But all of that aside, the fact that they would now criminally charge these people. I said that on December the 14th, as I've said before. That was the day that this happened. And that was the day where all the people who had been prior listed by the candidates who were on the ballot, you know, and if you're an independent, you would have, you know, a slate of electors. And in Michigan, they've got 16 congressmen, so they have 16 electors. And so
Starting point is 00:50:25 you would have an equivalent number of congressmen, people that you are going to appoint, and then they meet in the states on that day. They don't go to a place all travel to Washington or anything
Starting point is 00:50:41 like that. They go into their state legislatures and they have a little formal procedure there where they give their votes, and then those votes are transmitted to Washington. That was December the 14th. And then on January the 6th, all this stuff is handed to the vice president who reads it. And that's what they tried to stop. And it was way, way, way too late.
Starting point is 00:51:03 And I said, you can't do anything about that on January 6th. You know, they're taking the votes today. And since you don't have another slate of electors that are officially recognized, and if the governor didn't want to do it, it could have been done by the state legislature. And then there would have been a question. Well, who gets to appoint the legislators? Is it the governor and, you governor and the executive branch underneath him, the Secretary of State, the Board of Elections, and things like that?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Are they the ones who get to appoint this? Traditionally, that's what we've done. But the Constitution actually says the legislature will decide the conditions and means and times and places and all the rest of the stuff about the election. And so you can make an argument about that. And that could have been argued in court, but they, you know, Giuliani and these people did not try to get any state legislatures.
Starting point is 00:51:53 There were, as I pointed out on that December the 14th, I said that four state legislatures in areas where there was a razor thin margin of victory for Biden, there were four state legislatures that were predominantly Republican. And two of those states had Republican governors. It was clear early on that nobody in any of these courts at any level was going to give a hearing to any of this stuff. So I said, so take it to the legislature. Take that approach.
Starting point is 00:52:23 But they didn't do it. And so now what are they doing? It's kind of interesting to see one of the persons charged, Michonne Maddock, former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, told Politico in November, November of 2020, right after the election, that she was conferring with constitutional lawyers about the options, what the options would be. And she says, what I might want to do can be completely different from what we are legally capable of doing, she said in an email at the time. Now, that's not incriminating. That's exculpatory.
Starting point is 00:53:03 She's saying, well, there's a lot of stuff that I'd like to do, but we've got to follow the law. What are our legal options here? And these people show up and they say, we'd like to go in and do that. No, you can't do that. We can hand this paper. No, you can't do that. All right. Thank you. And they walk away and now they're being charged criminally and not just charged criminally. I mean, amazing how overcharged this is. Before I talk about their charges here, this article from Politico says, while no individuals beyond the signers of the slate were charged Thursday, this criminal attorney general in Michigan, Nessel is her name, this LGBT attorney general, said the investigations are ongoing our department has not
Starting point is 00:53:48 ruled out potential charges against additional defendants oh they're going to get even more people roped in on this anybody who said anything oh you speak about this you're going to go to jail you see this is not about well we don't want any fake information out there we're going to criminalize it and literally criminalize it, send people to jail. First Amendment, folks, is dead in this country. It's just a question of when they're going to start applying the penalties, and you can see it happening here. Republicans have long compared the GOP effort to a similar one that was undertaken
Starting point is 00:54:21 by Democrats in Hawaii in 1960 when Nixon was declared the winner in the state by a margin of a few hundred votes. With a recount underway, and with John F. Kennedy gaining ground, when the state's presidential electors were due to meet that day, while the certified Republican electors were meeting, Democrats convened and signed certificates declaring themselves to be the legitimate presidential electors for hawaii so were those people they have uh the attorney general in hawaii come after them and try to send them away for 85 years no they weren't a very dangerous what what are they charging them with well um eight felonies
Starting point is 00:55:07 each eight felonies each and they range from 5 to 14 years in terms of the maximum uh a penalty that could be given for these and so you have um uh for, two counts of forgery. In other words, signing your name, saying that you are an elector. Well, that's forgery. And you did it twice. I'm going to get you two counts on that. And then you talk to other people about this. So we're going to add a conspiracy to commit forgery.
Starting point is 00:55:36 You see how they're overcharging this? You see how they ramp this stuff up? Oh, and then committing. So not only do you sign your name on there, but now you're doing election law forgery as well. And he did two counts of that. And then you also conspired to do that. So now we're up to six, right?
Starting point is 00:55:56 And then the other two charges, uttering and publishing, uttering and publishing. That sounds like a violation of the first amendment, doesn't it? To come after people for uttering and publishing, uttering and publishing. That sounds like a violation of the First Amendment, doesn't it? To come after people for uttering and publishing, as you just saw there. Oh, and then a conspiracy to utter and publish. The head of the 2022 midterm election, this criminal attorney general, Nessel, in Michigan, referred to her office's probe and a group of Michigan electors whose names appear on the fake certificate of electors
Starting point is 00:56:34 to federal authorities, but they were not interested. Even the Biden administration was not interested in trying to prosecute this, but she was. So after, and this is the way it is described by USA Today, she said there was no question that the Republicans acted illegally when they signed documents to give Trump's Michigan Electoral College votes and attempted to enter the Capitol and Lansing on the same day. Oh, you just saw how bad that was. They attempted to enter the Capitol. You know, they must have, you know, beaten back these police with barriers and all this kind of stuff. You saw how those people reacted. You've seen how the left reacted in the Tennessee Capitol, right?
Starting point is 00:57:14 Pushing and shoving elected officials trying to make their way to the floor. Pushing and shoving the police officers who were not wearing body armor, and they did not escalate it. They just used themselves to protect the electors. Oh, but these people, they need to go to jail. They actually showed up and talked to their masters. So the peaceful redress of grievances, that's not covered anymore. You get 85 years for that. So after the feds said, no, we, the, uh, the peaceful redress of grievances, that's not covered anymore. You get 85 years for that. So after the feds said, no, we're not interested in this Nestle, the attorney general announced
Starting point is 00:57:52 her decision to reopen a criminal investigation into the fake electors after inaction from the federal government says USA today, Current Republican National Committee Chairwoman Rona McDaniel also told the committee that Trump called her about the effort to seat Republican electors, and so maybe they'll come after her, too. Former Michigan GOP Chair Laura Cox, meanwhile, detailed to the Congressional Committee one plan that Trump allies discussed with her, proposing an attempt to seat fake electors by entering the Capitol the night before the electoral college vote. But they didn't do it. This is one person who said that.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Nobody did that. But it is a juvenile, the juvenile desperate mindset, if it's true, of Trump and his people. Look, Republicans, you need to understand that you're nothing but pawns in this game of Thrones competition between two globalist camps. Get that straight and stop falling into these traps for these clowns. Um, so USA Today, again, without seeing that picture,
Starting point is 00:59:07 they like to try to portray this as if these people were pushing their way in. Some Republican lawmakers joined the members of the group of fake Trump electors in an attempt to enter the Michigan State Capitol in December 2020. They were denied
Starting point is 00:59:23 access. They showed up very respectfully and said, well, thank you, officer, for Michigan State Capitol, December 2020. They were denied access. Oh. They showed up very respectfully, said, well, thank you, officer, for all your stonewalling. I mean, they weren't even sarcastic like that. Very respectful, walked away, peacefully left, not allowed to speak, not allowed to talk about their grievances. So yeah, uh, two counts of uttering and publishing, uh, false stuff and a conspiracy to do that as well.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And then you signed your name twice. And so we're going to get you on that as well. Yeah, it truly, truly is amazing. Well, we're going to come back and we'll talk about something else. It was faked. You know, the New York times is now, even the New York Times, is pointing out that the CDC and these other people under Trump were faking COVID deaths, inflating them by as much as a third. And if they're admitting to that, it's far worse than that. But of course, nobody's going to go to jail for faking deaths, faking a
Starting point is 01:00:28 pandemic, locking us down, destroying the constitution, putting us in trillions of dollars worth of debt, killing people with financially incentivized malpractice death protocols, and then spending tens of billions of dollars channeling it over to the pharmaceutical industry so they could create toxic injections. Nobody's going to go to jail for that. Nobody. Nobody. Stop protecting these people. Thank you. Sous-titres par LaVacheSquid Thank you. Making sense common again.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You're listening to The David Knight Show. There's a woman being rolled in on a stretcher in the hospital. Opens her eyes, looks around a little bit. Want to get your wait time? Upgrade to a FastPass. And the mechanized arm with the computer terminal comes in, offers her the ability to upgrade to a FastPass. Need a painless procedure? Pick your drug package now. arm where the computer terminal comes in offers her the ability to upgrade to a faster arm.
Starting point is 01:03:12 She is sweating, trembling. tired of waking up mid-surgery top up your anesthesia now and there's people in suits all around her not people in uh oh you can't get any more anesthesia not enough money insufficient funds and all the people standing around her are in suits. They're not a medical crew. Well, that was a video that was put out by an organization that wants government run healthcare. You shouldn't have to pay for anything. And I understand what the trade-offs are with this. Do you really want government controlling access
Starting point is 01:04:05 to healthcare after what we've seen in the last three years? I mean, haven't we put that argument to bed? And yet, you know, when we look at this, who was financially incentivizing this criminal death protocol in the hospitals? Well, it was the Trump administration and then the Biden administration.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Do you really want Biden or Trump running your health care after what you saw them do with these criminal protocols? Kidnapping people, keeping them away from their family so the family couldn't see what was being done to them? And of course, the idea that you have to press that, well, that wasn't happening at all. The reality was that Trump was writing and as many checks as needed. You tell me that this person's got COVID fine. Uh, $13,000. There's your bonus right there.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Oh, and, um, you know, press, uh, what they want to should do is remake this thing for the doctor. You know, would you like $13,000? Okay. Uh, press this and say, the person has COVID. I want some more money, Put them on a ventilator. I'll give you $39,000. And you can charge them on daily use till you kill them.
Starting point is 01:05:10 And oh, by the way, we'll also give you a 20% bonus on everything else that you do. You know, every charge in the hospital, we give you a 20% bonus. That was being done by the government, CMS, Medicare, Medicaid, all the rest of this stuff. Yeah, we already have the profit motive. We have the profit motive used by these corporate hospitals and paid off by the Trump administration, the Biden administration. It was the Trump administration where these rules began, continued by the Biden administration.
Starting point is 01:05:42 It is a fascist corporate hospital death protocol that we saw. And yet through all of that, and all the people that were killed with these, with remdesivir and ventilators and all the rest of this stuff, now the New York Times, and this is coming from John Nolte at Breitbart, New York Times reports coronavirus deaths overcounted by 30%. As he points out,
Starting point is 01:06:05 they bury it on paragraph 17. It's not the headline for them. He pulled up, he said, this is the most important thing about this article from the New York Times. It should be the headline. He made the headline of his article, but they don't talk about it. They just, they admit it. 17 paragraphs, end of the article, he says, The far-left New York Times quietly admitted this week that deaths from coronavirus were overcounted by 30%. Does this amazing revelation earn its own headline? No. Does this amazing revelation set the top of the story? No. Here's how the propagandists at the Times bury the truth. The headline, a positive COVID milestone.
Starting point is 01:06:44 The sub-headline, and a sign that the pandemic really is over. The total number of Americans dying each day is no longer historically abnormal. It's only after reading 17 paragraphs in, you'll finally find what they buried. Quote, this is from the New York Times, the official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had virus when they died, even though it was not the underlying cause of death. I've been talking about this since January of 2020. Running these phony tests, magnifying the results by over a trillion times,
Starting point is 01:07:23 1.1 trillion times times and you can find anything anything if you magnify it that much and so the interesting thing is they didn't find 100 of the people had it i guess uh they weren't expecting that you know fauci had abused and misused carrie mullis's pcr test uh you know to say there was a correlation between HIV and virus and AIDS and things. And so I guess he figured, you know, hey, if we ramp the cycle up to 40 cycles, well, we can show everybody's got it. That's how we create our pandemic. We just increase the sensitivity of the test.
Starting point is 01:08:02 So people who are asymptomatic, people who are not sick, they have a trace amount of this, which isn't going to be able to be passed along. It's not going to make them sick either. That's our basis of that. So, yeah, we know that. It's always died with, not died from, multiple comorbidities. Other CDC data suggests that almost one-third of official recent COVID deaths have fallen into this category, they said. And a study published by the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases
Starting point is 01:08:34 came to similar conclusions, one-third, says the New York Times. And this is happening everywhere. And that's the thing that really ought to scare you. As I've said over and over again, every country, it doesn't matter what the stated political philosophies were, or the politicians, they all did it. They all marched in lockstep. You understand global government, global governance, a corporate technocracy, that's already here. It manifested itself three and a half years ago, where everybody, including the anti-globalist Trump, all did the same thing.
Starting point is 01:09:15 They all had the same lies, the same deceptive tactics. They all talk about nudging the population. The behavioral insights team of the UK, BIT, they put that bit in the mouth of the people and then put a mask over them and said, shut up, and then turned their heads wherever they wanted it to go. One third of the people. And so John Nolte says, we shut down the country. We closed schools. We bankrupted people. We bankrupted small business. We destroyed our economy. Well, speak for yourself, pal. John Nolte at Breitbart took a lot of heat from the people who were commenting there. I mean, he just kept on with the vaccine, pushing and pushing and pushing, pushing the vaccine, pushing the pandemic.
Starting point is 01:10:00 So I understand why he wants to say we. No, it was you, John. It was you, people like John. It was you. People like you. It was Trump. You're not going to talk about Trump doing this? No, as a matter of fact, he puts Trump in as a savior. He says, we shut down the country.
Starting point is 01:10:18 We closed the schools. We bankrupted people and small business, destroyed the economy. We transferred enormous wealth. It was Trump who did all of that. The Trump who did all that and you cheered him john nolte at breitbart i'm glad that he's not doing that anymore but come on what he's now doing the next paragraph he says here's how the times responded when trump suggested the death count was overhyped. So now this true believer in Trump and his shots says, Oh, Trump tried to tell us. He tried to tell us, did he really? No, no.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Trump is out there saying, uh, maybe you could inject sunlight into your veins and then you've got Fauci coming in. Oh, he's just a, you know, this guy, you don't know what the science is. I'm the science guy. You, you listen to me, you know, this, this Trump, he's a chump. And so you don't listen to nothing. This guy says he says anything about a CQ it's instantly discredited, right? You know, the FDA didn't have to say, you know, y'all stop with the
Starting point is 01:11:22 Ivermectin that's for horses. No, we had, uh, this, uh, jackass who was standing next to Fauci, popping off a bunch of stuff. And immediately they used Fauci as a straight man for this clown telling people that's not the way it is. And Trump elevated him, kept him there. You know, no matter how many times Fauci humiliated Trump publicly, Trump kept Fauci on the pedestal.
Starting point is 01:11:53 CNN, Centers for Disease Control. Yeah, right. Center for Diseases to Control You. That's what they are. Doubled down against rumors and spread mostly on social media, suggesting that coronavirus deaths have been greatly exaggerated. Well, again, he goes through all the different things that they exaggerated about Trump after he tries to betray Trump as the person who tried to help us
Starting point is 01:12:19 with all this stuff. He's still deceiving you, just like he deceived you about the vaccine and about the other aspects of it. And, I mean, he was literally trashed. John Nolte typically talks about entertainment in Hollywood as a film reviewer. I remember seeing the things, and I remember talking about it. You know, people are like, shut up.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Focus on movies and shut up about COVID. You have absolutely no clue about what is happening with any of this stuff. It's all over your head and you're just a Trump cheerleader. So shut up and talk about movies. It says all the government does is lie, lie, lie, lie, and then lie some more. And all the corporate media do is lie, lie, lie, lie, and then lie some more. Well, okay. But you can trust Trump and you can trust John Nolte at Breitbart.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Yeah. Who trusted the Trump shots. So, you know, another long piece, and I'm not going to go into it, but in Brownstone organization, you've got a guy who is actually an epidemiologist. And he begins by talking about some very well-documented cases where they've actually done autopsies in Germany and Korea and Japan and other places, finding the heart damage and saying that it was, without a doubt, brought on by the vaccine, by the mRNA, by the Trump shots. And yet, you know, he lives in Rhode Island. So he contacts the Rhode Island Department of Health and says, well, I saw this interesting thing on the VAERS database, and I'd like to get some more information about this 37
Starting point is 01:13:48 year old woman who died suddenly with a heart attack shortly after having an mRNA injection. They not only stonewalled him and denied his requests, but then as he tried a subsequent legal appeal for these things, again, you know, it's typical that government agencies at all levels now will refuse to comply with Freedom of Information acts of every sort, whether it's a state act or the federal act or whatever. They all refuse to comply. And you got to wind up suing them and so forth. So as part of their response, they even threatened him and said, well, you tweeted about this particular case, and we think that you are purposely soliciting information from the
Starting point is 01:14:33 public for the purpose of identifying this patient whose information has been redacted. Whoa. Oh, you keep asking? You're going to get the jail treatment like the electors in Michigan. Don't ask questions about this stuff. We're in charge here. I mean, the authoritarianism is just beyond belief how rapidly this is coming in. I'm telling you, it's going to accelerate from here on out. Because why? We're not doing anything about it.
Starting point is 01:15:03 We're focused on Trump. But what about Trump? What about Trump? Who do you want in the White House, David? Yeah. Anyone but Trump. Well, not anyone. I don't want Biden in there either.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Anyway. And so he said their record has been not just one of indifference, but of active obfuscation. This is Andrew Bostom, MD. And he is a clinical trialist and an epidemiologist. He has a reason to be asking these questions. All of us need to be asking these questions. All of us have a reason that we want to get answers for this. And as I said, it's not over. Take a look at what is happening in the UK.
Starting point is 01:15:51 I was absolutely blown away by this story from the Daily Skeptic of the UK. More than 28,000 convicted of breaking COVID rules as the prosecutions are continuing in the UK, in England and Wales. In Wales, not Wales. Wales. England and Wales. More than 28,000 people in England and Wales have been convicted of breaches of COVID-19 regulations, despite the government's insistence that it never intended to criminalize people for minor infractions during the pandemic.
Starting point is 01:16:25 And I said, look, yes, the Guardian. Yes, really, it's the Guardian has more. And they admit it at the very end. Yes, the Guardian is doing this because it was the conservative government that is doing this. The conservative government locked them down, and the conservative government is still convicting people of violating their lockdown and social distancing rules.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Now, right now they're still doing it. And so they want to criticize the conservatives. Well, the conservatives are due to be criticized for this, but they're doing it for political reasons. And as soon as I saw that the guardian, yes, really the guardian, it's like, yeah, that's what they're doing it for. And they do say that at the end of the story, that that's likely why they're doing it.
Starting point is 01:17:07 But anyway, this is what is going on. So as the Guardian, the convictions are for COVID-related offenses, such as attendance of gatherings during lockdowns or arriving at airports without the proper evidence of a coronavirus test. How dare you even show up at an airport without your coronavirus test in your hand? Almost 16,000 of the convictions, 55% of them, involved people under 30. The figures, which were obtained by The Guardian through analysis of data from the Ministry of Justice,
Starting point is 01:17:39 are consistently higher than any previous estimate. So what are we finding out? We're finding out they criminalized it with over-the-top prosecutions. I mean, we're talking about massive fines and jail terms for some of these people. But the fines are incredibly massive. They have criminalized this, over-criminalized it, far more than has been reported. They faked the deaths. Even the New York Times.
Starting point is 01:18:07 The New York Times now is reporting that the deaths were faked, which I've been talking about for three and a half years. And now this criminalized prosecution, this authoritarian prosecution, is now being talked about by The Guardian. Kind of interesting. But we're all talking about Trump, right? It said tens of thousands, mostly young people, have been severely penalized for relatively minor infractions of COVID rules that have left them with damaging fines and, in many cases, criminal records two years after restrictions were lifted. Magistrates are still continuing to work their way through a backlog of cases,
Starting point is 01:18:39 with about 100 COVID-related cases being heard each month, ongoing. The average fine issued last year was £6,000. A lot of money, although some people have been fined as much as £10,000. We saw this in our country, in America, with the FAA. Oh, you want to talk back to a flight attendant who tells you to wear your mask? Oh, well, you know, $25,000 fine. And there's no appeal because this is the regulatory state. And because they're not enforcing quote unquote laws, they're enforcing their rules.
Starting point is 01:19:19 We have taxation without representation. We have regulation without representation. We have no right to appeal, no presumption of innocence, no due process, no appeal. The figures will add impetus to growing calls on the government to halt the criminal prosecutions. The director of the campaign group called Transform Justice said, quote, it is ridiculous that the courts are still prosecuting people for COVID offenses. All outstanding prosecutions should be canceled immediately, unquote. The government said it is intended to treat most breaches of COVID regulations as civil infractions, introducing fines to deter behavior that could spread the virus rather than criminalizing people.
Starting point is 01:20:01 This is all just about behavior modification. Such an honorable motive, isn't it? We just want to, you know, get the message across, give them a small fine, and so they, you know, stop doing what we're telling everybody's going to kill everyone, right? Then Minister for Policing told the Justice Committee in 2021 that on-the-spot fines for covet breaches were a quote psychological game oh yes they were this is all a psychological game the germ games the cia plans the psychology
Starting point is 01:20:36 is all a psychological game and they said it was a relatively light touch lord bethel then a minister at the health department said said the government was, quote, clamping down on but not criminalizing behavior. Two different people, right? Saying, yeah, it's a psychological game. We're clamping down on them, but we're not going to criminalize this. Those statements appear to be at odds with the 28,000 convictions, which are understood to largely stem from people who initially received fixed penalty notices. However, if a fine is contested, oh, let me tell you, okay, here's your fine.
Starting point is 01:21:12 I want to appeal that. Oh, really? Okay, well, we'll get you for that, right? If you contest the fine, or if you don't pay it, it can result in the magistrate judges ruling on a case without the defendant even being present under special new fast-track measures. Yeah, fast-tracking us straight to authoritarian hell, every aspect of this stuff. Misunderstood or missed paperwork has led to people being found guilty and sentenced without their knowledge. Some say they had no idea that they had been convicted in absentia until the bailiffs arrived.
Starting point is 01:21:53 So they don't send the bailiffs out there to say, you know, you got this charge against you, and we're going to do something about it. No, no, they wait until after they've convicted them in abstention. And so the final statement here from the Daily Skeptic says, well, the Guardian is adopting an anti-lockdown tone here. Even though it is a dig at the conservative government, maybe there is hope for the left after all.
Starting point is 01:22:21 No, there isn't. No, there isn't any hope for the left, and there's no hope for the right either because it's the right that's doing it to people. I'm sorry. I'm not that optimistic. I'm glad the Daily Skeptic is daily optimistic about this thing, but I'm much more skeptical and pessimistic about this because it's something done by the conservatives and liberals can't wait to get their chance at this. Then there's this story, and this has got three very important aspects to it. First of all, it shows you this next story. It shows you the hypocrisy about all this so-called public health.
Starting point is 01:23:00 Number two, it shows you a double standard in America for Americans versus immigrants. And number three, it shows you about active child trafficking and sexual abuse of these illegal immigrants. And just one story. This is coming from the Washington Times. Illegal immigrant kids with tuberculosis infections are released into 44 states. So much for the pandemic, right? So much for the concerns about public health. And of course, it is a double standard for Americans as well,
Starting point is 01:23:39 because there was recently a story, and I've referred to it a couple of times. An American woman in Washington State, it was actually in Tacoma, Washington, had tuberculosis, and they were fighting with her over a period of months. And finally, at the beginning of June, they arrested her. They wanted her to quarantine. Well, actually, they gave her, and that's one of the things when I saw it, that was the way it was reported, and I thought, well, okay well okay so you got tuberculosis and you're going to go isolate yourself and or we're
Starting point is 01:24:10 going to arrest you okay did they ever try that with doc holiday yeah i'm your i'm your huckleberry uh no they never did that with Doc Holliday or anybody else for that matter. And so I thought that was pretty outrageous. It turns out that the judge gave her an option. They said, we've got some big pharmaceutical tuberculosis medicine. And if you'll take that, we won't make you quarantine. If you refuse a medication, we're going to force you to quarantine. So it's your choice, right? You're going to have one of those two. You're going to take the big pharma stuff, or we're going to lock you up. But when illegal immigrant kids come in, they're being released into 44 different states. See, if you're an American, you get one kind of
Starting point is 01:25:01 treatment. If you're an illegal alien, you get another kind of treatment. The government is releasing thousands, thousands of illegal immigrant children with latent tuberculosis infections into American communities without assurances of treatment. Nearly 2,500 children with latent infections were released into 44 states over the past year by health and human services, almost 126,000 were released over a longer period of time, indicating an infection rate of one out of 50 migrant kids has tuberculosis. And they're just releasing them into the city. That's how interested they are in public health.
Starting point is 01:25:47 Oh, don't worry. They'll just force your children to get a vaccine to prevent this later. Yeah, that's right. That's the way they'll react to it. They're going to force them to get the vaccine? Probably not, yeah. But they will force you to get a vaccine for it, yeah. Let's add that to the list.
Starting point is 01:26:00 We only got like, what, 72 things that the kids are going to get at an early age so let's just add one more here if they haven't already the government says that it can't treat the children because they're in custody for such a short time and treatment requires three to nine months so hhs just releases the infected kids to sponsors and notifies local health authorities in the hope that they can arrange for treatment before the latent infection becomes active. But these hopes, they said, are often dashed. So, 125, 126,000 have been released, have been identified and released, and that's one out of every 50 migrant kids.
Starting point is 01:26:42 But, you know, if you are a woman, American woman in Tacoma, Washington, we're going to lock you up, send the police out, arrest you, and lock you up into quarantine. But, you know, 126,000 kids, just release them. And then here's the third part about what it shows us about child trafficking. The children in the department's custody known and government speak as unaccompanied alien children you a sees are a particularly tricky population the system is fraught with problems including crowded shelters
Starting point is 01:27:19 and struggles to find capable and conscientious sponsors and thousands of cases government government quickly loses track of these children. Oh, okay. We don't know who they are. We don't know where they are. Who cares about it, right? Somebody's going to grab them and do something with them. We don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:38 We can't track them or hold them or do anything with them. It's just the way the system is. The system is just designed for child trafficking. You got anonymous kids. Nobody knows who they are, where they went. There's no way to track them. And it's like the billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that we're sending to Ukraine. Nobody knows how to track any of that stuff.
Starting point is 01:27:58 We don't know where the weapons go. We don't know where the kids that come across the border go. Oh, it can't be child trafficking. No, they would never do anything like that, would they? The whole system is designed to facilitate that. And the whole system is designed to release sick kids into society when they locked everybody else down. No Zoom classes for these kids, just release them.
Starting point is 01:28:23 And we don't know to whom or where. It makes the government release of children with latent infections all the more complicated. Treatment requires knowing where the children are and having sponsors willing to follow through on the lengthy course of care. But tuberculosis isn't the only disease that's challenging these kids. They're suffering from all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases, sexually transmitted diseases,
Starting point is 01:28:47 chlamydia, gonorrhea, and others, HIV, all the rest of this stuff. CDC, which runs the notification portal about these diseases, didn't respond to any inquiry from the Washington Times. These UACs, unaccompanied children, do get routine dental care. Isn't that nice? And they give them pregnancy tests because, you know, they're sexually active. They're getting sexually transmitted diseases. They're getting pregnant.
Starting point is 01:29:18 And so they will give them abortions, but they're not going to give them any health care for tuberculosis or for the sexually transmitted diseases, but they'll give them abortions but they're not going to give them any health care for tuberculosis or for the sexually transmitted diseases but they'll give them abortions that's our evil government that's the child trafficking that's going on you know all of this all of the and contraceptives and stuff like that bringing in children and then some of them the the older minors, they said, well, um, we don't really do anything to separate those who have criminal records or histories of violence. We just leave them there with the rest of the kids as sexual predators. I mean, who could invent a government any more evil than this? That's why I say you don't have
Starting point is 01:30:04 to come up with stuff about, you know, QAnon theories and stuff. The reality of what our government is doing, without elaborating it with false details, to cover up the reality of what our government is doing, that tells you everything you need to know. And so then today, we had this morning, Linda Sanchez, who's a Democrat congresswoman from California, warns of a gray tsunami.
Starting point is 01:30:31 What is that? She's very worried about baby boomers and aging Americans who have been taxed all their lives to pay into this welfare system. And who have been given assurances about what they were going to get out of the back end of this. She's worried about having to pay these people what they were promised when they were taxed. We got to do something to stop this. Absolutely no concern from Sanchez about the tsunami of foreign illegals who are coming in and getting free stuff all over the place about everything, free education, free college, free this, free that. No concern about
Starting point is 01:31:10 that welfare magnet that is the source of the open border issue. No concern at all. Somehow, Linda Sanchez, California Democrat, gets all fiscally conservative when you start talking about Americans getting back what they paid for, some of it, a little bit of what they paid for their entire lives. Somehow she starts to care. Just like, oh, cutting taxes on Americans? No, no, we're not going to do that. We would. We'd go bankrupt if we did that.
Starting point is 01:31:41 We'll go bankrupt with this gray tsunami. We got plenty of money for every person in the world who wants to come across our border illegally but we don't have enough money for the americans who paid taxes all their lives democrats care nothing about deficits but wouldn't you rather send more missiles to ukraine you know come on yeah what's more fun really yeah they don't care about that yeah send ukrainians anything they want won't someone think of raytheon corporate welfare that's right it's amazing uh yeah uh psychologists psychological tactics used for kobe began years before to foster the false climate change
Starting point is 01:32:22 narrative this is coming from exposeose News in the UK. And I'm glad to see this catching on. A lot of people are starting to understand, wait a minute, this climate thing, which is now ramping up, and they've now got the solutions that they've been talking about for decades, they're now on our doorstep. They're being introduced now not as goals from the World Economic Forum or the United Nations, but actually uh legislation in all these different countries
Starting point is 01:32:49 oh wait a minute this is looking a lot like this covid lockdown and so you see this article this is almost one a day i'm seeing in uh the press talking about the mcguffin it's the same plan they want the same thing regardless of what they call the justification. You know, they got this MacGuffin to motivate people out there. And I had a listener who sent me a picture that he had put together, and I think it was a guy. I'll show this to you. And I tweeted it out here about MacGuffin. An inconvenient MacGuffin. The grift of climate change.
Starting point is 01:33:30 Shows a picture of Al Gore there with his inconvenient truth. I like that. I put that out. And then some guy came back and said, stop saying MacGuffin. M-A-C-G-U-F-F-I-N. Is it Mick or is it Mac? Well, you'll typically see it almost always when they're
Starting point is 01:33:49 talking about what Hitchcock said as M A C. But I replied to him and I said, well, I won't be a grammar Nazi about a fantasy analogy, but Mac Guffin is the preferred form. Although Mick Guffin is sometimes written. I think it's because Hitchcock explained it in the context of quote, hunting lions in the Scottish Highlands. And if you go back and you look at what does Mac mean or MC mean, it means son of, right? And both of those forms, it's Gaelic. So in Scotland, two-thirds of the time it's written as MAC.
Starting point is 01:34:22 And in Ireland, it's just the opposite. Two-thirds of the time it's written as MC. But I, it's just the opposite. Two thirds of the time is written as MC. But I said, maybe I should just say son of a guffin. I said, no, I'll stick with Mac guffin because if I didn't, I'd be a lion. L I O N. But, uh, yeah, this is, I think it's great. The people are starting to see the connection between these things. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:34:44 You know, they want the same thing, regardless of whether it's going to be global ice age or global warming and the polarized caps are going to melt or whether it's a pandemic, they always want the same thing, you know? So, um, blame it on the Maltese Falcon or blame it on whatever it is, secret plans. It doesn't matter. Uh, they've got what they want to do. And for part of the narrative control, you know, calling people climate deniers. I prefer the term actually climate infidel. I like to be referred to as a climate infidel. I've never seen them use that label, but I think they should
Starting point is 01:35:17 because they have a religion, a religion of blind faith and experts who refuse to give them any scientific data, uh, to establish, to prove what they're saying. Uh, it is a religion of faith, a blind faith. And so I am a climate infidel, uh, if ever there was one, well, we're going to take a quick break and, uh, we will be right back. Let me just read a couple of comments here. Yeah. Travis says they're bluffing with a guffin on rock fan. Max B. Thank you very much for the tip on rock fan.
Starting point is 01:35:54 I appreciate that. So it's good morning. Rumble super Faye. Wow. Thank you very much. Faye. I appreciate that. Super Faye.
Starting point is 01:36:02 Let's make sure DK doesn't have insufficient funds. Well, thank you. And on Rockfin, Audi MRR. Thank you very much for the tip as well. He says, hi, David and the DK family. Just a note to say how much I appreciate being among decent people. And on Rockfin, it's a good community. Rockfin and Rumble.
Starting point is 01:36:22 That's Audi Modern Retro Radio. Well, thank you very much. And thank you for the tips. I really do appreciate that. And I think we've updated the gas. Yeah, Travis is nodding his head. Yes, we've updated the gas gauge so you can see where we are. And thank you so much, all of you, for your kind support. Every, uh, every month we look at this, I, you know, I don't have really a way that we can, um, support this. I've never really given much thought to trying to do advertising because I know how that works, you know, and you know, when we get some advertising and we turn that back on now after pride month is off on speaker, but when we do get advertising, uh, if they find out who I am, they cut it off. So, you know, it's the, it's the sort of thing.
Starting point is 01:37:12 It's hard to find anybody who has a national product and doesn't have an, a socialist Marxist globalist agenda. Uh, and you know, since we have a national audience, you know, I can't necessarily plug local businesses. It doesn't necessarily help. So I really do appreciate the voluntary donations. That's how we funded this program from the very beginning. We'll be right back. © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move.
Starting point is 01:38:46 And now, The David Knight Show. Oh yeah, Trump's got a human horn in on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Is that supposed to be a menorah there? We have top men working on it right now. Who? Top men. My boxes. Oh, top secret. Army intelligence.
Starting point is 01:39:43 Did you see the guy rolling the crate through the giant warehouse of mar-a-lago yeah israel is trying to recover national treasures they say are being held at mar-a-lago so now trump has become raider of the lost lampstands. They sent a bunch of ancient menorahs to celebrate Hanukkah just before the phony pandemic in 2020. They said that these Hanukkah lamps were sent to the U.S. in 2019 for a festive event by Donald Trump and millionaire Saul Fox, a major donor to Israeli antiquities authority. But they said they've been trying to figure out where they are ever since. They're my boxes.
Starting point is 01:40:40 They're my boxes. Trying to reclaim these historical artifacts from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate for months after they lent them years ago for a Hanukkah party. The lamps were sent with approval from the Antiquities Authority on the provision that they were returned within weeks. They were intended to be displayed briefly at the White House. However, they were neither displayed nor returned. Four years later, Israeli sources told Haaretz they believed them to be stranded.
Starting point is 01:41:11 Israel Hassan, the director of the government body at the time, told Haaretz, quote, We wanted our man to go bring it back. But you know, it's being taken care of. It's being taken care of by big guys. And then COVID broke out and everything got stuck. Saul Fox, who was supposed to keep the candles in his possession, he's the guy who donates a lot of money to the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Well, you know, you better call Saul.
Starting point is 01:41:42 Call Saul and find out what's going on with this stuff. He's a longtime donor to them. He helped to establish a national center for antique coins. Oh, that'd be something Trump would probably be interested in as well. As well as an archaeological garden at the Knesset. A source told Haaretz that they wouldn't be surprised if the items Israel seeks are also eventually found in some bathroom there. Or maybe in a giant warehouse. And so, as this is happening, I thought it was interesting.
Starting point is 01:42:21 I was going to talk about this a couple of days ago. Maria Bartiromo had talked to Trump over the weekend on Sunday and did an interview with him. One of the questions that she asked him was, she said, if there was anything that you could do differently, what do you think you would do differently? Would you have, and she didn't offer any explanations but i'm just thinking you know so trumpy sitting there let's see should i have complied with
Starting point is 01:42:50 the request to send back the top secret documents that i kept should i get should i have given in my boxes should i have given the uh ancient lampstands the hanukkah lampstands the menorahs you ought to give those back to the no. No, no, no. What would you have done differently? Well, he says, a mistake I think I made was people. I mean, I wouldn't have put a guy like Bill Barr. He was so weak and pathetic. Or I wouldn't have put in Jeff Sessions. And there were some people that I wouldn't have put in. You know, most people were good, but I had some people. We had Esper. I didn't like him. He was incompetent. I thought we had other people that I didn't like as well. So, you know, he goes back and he looks at it. It's not anything even that would have helped him personally. Like, you know, can I comply with the law here and there?
Starting point is 01:43:38 Maybe I shouldn't have done the lockdown. Maybe I shouldn't have done mass. Maybe I shouldn't have put the American public trillions of dollars in debt and laid out the foundation for universal basic income. Maybe I shouldn't have given tens of billions of dollars to the pharmaceutical companies. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed along an injection that is killing and crippling people worldwide. No, I shouldn't have let those people I really hate, should never put them in office. Maybe I shouldn't have done gun control by executive order and set up a precedent for that. No, no, such people. And so then she asked a question,
Starting point is 01:44:11 which I was kind of surprised that Maria Bartiromo would follow up on. I would expect that she was enough of a Trump sycophant. She wouldn't have said, well, why then did you put them in the job? Hmm, you put them in the job. Why'd you do it? And he said, well, you know, you put somebody in the job? You put them in the job. Why'd you do it? And he said, well, you know, you put somebody in, you think they're good. He said, all of a sudden I'm the president of the United States. I became president.
Starting point is 01:44:33 I'm writing down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady. I had 250 motorcycles. I had armies. I had everything. I said, do you believe it? We're president. Take a look at this. This is wild, right? This guy, it's like Jed Clampett, who somehow becomes president. Yee doggie. Look at this, granny. I got 250 motorcycles here. You think they got a cement
Starting point is 01:45:01 pond at the White House? Except I'd actually vote actually vote for jed clampett i definitely would vote for jed clampett i would vote for him in a heartbeat uh i'd give him some money if he needed it except he uh stumbled on that bubbling crude and he doesn't need any money from anybody but of course neither does Trump and people send him money. Yeah. Listen to how juvenile this guy is. I just somehow, suddenly, I became president. I don't know. Next thing I know, I'm in a limousine with, that thing is actual words, I'm in a limousine with Melania and there's 250 motorcycles around here. I've got armies that I control. Yeah, but he can't control his cabinet.
Starting point is 01:45:47 He doesn't know who these people are. He doesn't do due diligence. He doesn't do due diligence about the law or about secret documents, even though he hectored Hillary, and rightfully so, for what she did. I remember saying that at the time. I said, Hillary Clinton, she's secretary of state and she has no idea what the laws about classified documents are. She just puts this stuff up on a public server and calls it Clinton emails, come and get
Starting point is 01:46:18 it. And all that stuff was said, he was saying that kind of stuff, but then he does it. Right. Uh, Trump said, well, I didn't know the people. stuff was said he was saying that kind of stuff but then he does it right uh trump said well i didn't know the people i i know the people now better than anybody does oh well people i know the good ones the bad ones the dumb ones the smart ones but then bart romo says but you didn't drain the swamp like you said you would. Ooh, she's going to get on his bad side. Trump said, I did. I fired Comey.
Starting point is 01:46:50 I fired a lot of people. A lot of the people I had, I fired. I fired Comey very early. You know, there was a question as to whether or not you could, but I fired Comey. If I didn't fire Comey, I don't think I would have been able to serve out my term because that was a plot. So he fired Comey because, as his lawyer said, he's incapable of acting, except out of his own perceived self-interest or revenge.
Starting point is 01:47:17 A deeply wounded narcissist who doesn't care about you. He wouldn't fire Fauci. He wouldn't fire Burks. He gave them medals on his last day in office for Operation Warp Speed. Yeah, I fired Comey. Yeah, got rid of Andrew McCabe also. And you still got people who are making that same excuse for him. They said, well, he can't fire people. He said, no, I did fire people. I fired a lot of people. But you didn't fire Fauci everyone wanted you to fire Fauci but you didn't do it uh so yeah um kind of interesting isn't it well um you know uh while we're talking about Hollywood uh there was uh uh back and forth about what Disney's next box office blunder is going to be. And,
Starting point is 01:48:05 uh, of course they have, uh, snow white, uh, that they're going to do a live action thing there. And you have the decency to do it as a computer animation and redo it. Like some of the, they've done so many of these other things shot by shot with 3d computer
Starting point is 01:48:20 animation. They're not even going to do that. And so they leaked out pictures about Snow White. And when I saw these pictures, you know, it's this motley crew. They've got one guy who is a dwarf, but the rest of them are not dwarves.
Starting point is 01:48:36 I think one of them is a woman. But, you know, they're all different ethnicities. One of them is really tall, as a matter of fact, towering guy. And when I saw this, I immediately heard Chico from the Marx Brothers
Starting point is 01:48:53 saying, it's a no white. It's a no white. This is Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's a no white. No white people anywhere in this. Just a motley crew. And so when these pictures are put out, Disney immediately, as everybody was saying,
Starting point is 01:49:15 are you kidding me? This is what this thing is going to be? Travis, pull up the picture of Disney be clowns itself after calling the Snow white pictures fake. Can you get that? Um, and, um, game of Thrones star, um, who is, um, going to be in it. I think he is, uh, uh, he is the dwarf there. I think, isn't that Peter Dinklage?
Starting point is 01:49:43 Is he the short guy, the dwarf guy there? Uh, they like to say little people, right? Is it now bad? I mean, look, dwarf,
Starting point is 01:49:51 dwarfism, little people. What difference does it make? Really? Um, you know, it's, it's,
Starting point is 01:49:59 it's a situation. It's nothing you can do about it. We're not trying to, uh, make fun of people with that, but, um, you know, it's, um, changing the nothing you can do about it. We're not trying to make fun of people with that. But, you know, changing the name doesn't change what it is. You know, we see that all the time.
Starting point is 01:50:19 But he says, I was a little taken aback when Disney was very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. Like I said, you know, it's Snow White. But you're telling the story of snow white and the seven dwarfs. He said, it makes no sense to me. You're progressive in one way. And you're still making that effing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. I think, you know, we can make pretty much that case about any of the European, European fairy tales that Disney has turned into.
Starting point is 01:50:47 They're all based on absurd premises. He says, what the F are you doing? I mean, have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soap box? I guess I'm not loud enough. And, um, so the, um, um, he's standing on his soapbox by the way anyway uh meet the cast of disney's new woke snow white film tweeted out robbie starbuck uh and he said uh snow white is colombian now and the seven dwarves look more like six normal size hipster pedos and one dwarf from portland snow white is no longer as skin as white as snow uh and uh so disney got very angry and
Starting point is 01:51:34 said this is a lie uh this is fake the photos are fake they are not from our production and we're currently trying to have the daily mail issue a correction because they saw that tweet there from Robbie Starbuck and they wrote an article about it. Problem is, the photos were not fake. And so Disney came back and said, okay, okay, okay. They're real pictures of the production, but they're not our official PR pictures. Well, I bet they aren't. Because who wants to see something like that? I mean, it really does look like, you know,
Starting point is 01:52:09 it's a no white and it's seven people from Antifa. That's what it looks like. The studio later said the photos were from production, not official photos, added the beast. Now, that's not beauty and the beast. That is the daily beast and so zero hedge says once again disney comes up short even though peter dinklage is on his soapbox they're still coming up short bloomberg sound of freedom hit piece written by a pro-Peto contributor. Yeah, this guy who was, and they point out,
Starting point is 01:52:46 there's all these different places are doing hit pieces on the Sound of Freedom. But again, calling it a QAnon conspiracy flick. And as I said, it doesn't help for Jim Caviezel to then go on and deny this with Michael Flynn, who is a QAnon pusher from day one. He's been pushing that lie. And he's also been pushing Pride Month,
Starting point is 01:53:12 and he's also pushed the Navy SEAL transgender on the second Pride Month that the Pentagon had. He's also leading people in churches and occultic prayers and all the rest of this stuff. Now, why are they doing this? You you know they've got a legitimate true story about a legitimate true problem as i talked about earlier with the child trafficking so um why continue to push uh the q anon dog whistle stuff and it really is but if you look at the guy in this one particular uh example wrote this for bloomberg uh noah or latsky not just your average liberal mainstream media news contributor
Starting point is 01:53:55 writes zero hedge but he is turned into turned to the truly tired trope of accusing the movie of packaging together various q anon conspiracy theories. However, the problem is this guy's got a long, sordid history of advocating for the normalization of pedophilia. In 2021, Berlatsky, this guy who wrote the review of Sound of Freedom for Bloomberg, he was named communications director at Prostasia, a nonprofit organization which dedicates itself to, quote, self-avowed mission of protecting children from sexual abuse. While on its face it sounds antithetical to advocating for the normalization of pedophilia, a deeper look into Prostasia's published content shows it merely masquerades under the guise of acting in the interest of protecting children from sexual abuse. They focus quite heavily on minor attracted persons. They have a MAP support club partnership. In 2018, a piece addressing a bill that was eventually signed into law that allowed states and victims to fight Online Trafficking Act, Prostasia lamented the legislation's stigmatization of pedophiles.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Yeah, they should be marked. Stigmata. Yeah, marked in multiple ways. Aside from his work with Prostasia since 2021, he has a long history of promoting the idea that children can consent to sex with adults. By the way, so does Trump's favorite lawyer, Alan Dershowitz. He's pushed for that for a long time. Yeah, think about that. In 2016, this guy, Berlasky, published a piece titled, Child Sex Workers' Biggest Threat,
Starting point is 01:55:43 The Police. They're not minors who are being statutorily raped at the very least. They're child sex workers. And the police are the bad people. But it's not just the police. The parents are the bad people as well. He wrote an article for the New Republic. He took aim at the 2012 film called Eden, which is another drama centered around exposing the grim realities of child sex abuse. Throughout the piece,
Starting point is 01:56:10 he refers to parents, sorry, youth in the sex trade in a lexicon that alienates them from the idea that they are victims of human trafficking with a suggestion that they should be free to work in the sex trade. And if there's any doubt about where all this is, you take a look at his social media history, which they reproduced here. He tried to scrub it, but it was a little bit too late. Pedophiles, he said, are essentially a stigmatized group. Certain people get designated as deviants and people hate them. Well, I think that's an appropriate designation for them. He also said young people of any gender who trade sex face arrest and abuse from police. No one is very interested in helping them. He said the issue isn't that people care about the victims.
Starting point is 01:56:57 The issue is that pedophiles are loathed. Then he says parents are tyrants. Parent is an oppressive class like rich people or white people. He also said there are things that you can try to do to minimize the abuse that's endemic to the parent-child relationship, but it's always there. So understand, pedos are good, parents are bad. That's what you need to understand. And this is where we are right now. And this is why they focused on that. Uh, he also wrote, uh, they said he's married. He's got a
Starting point is 01:57:29 child, but his family is not what you would typically think. He wrote a piece. My wife is bisexual and non-binary. And my daughter is transgender. My queer family helped me to better understand myself and my masculinity. I think he's still in the dark, quite frankly. You know, let me show you this. This is what is happening in North Carolina. Ages for starting gender transitions in North Carolina. And they've got three universities, health systems there. Duke Health, UNC, that's University of North Carolina Health, and ECU Health, That's Eastern Carolina University. Now, at Duke, you can begin your gender transitions at two years old. These kids are not even talking well,
Starting point is 01:58:15 and they're going to start gender transitioning them at Duke. At UNC, three years old. And at ECU, you have to be a mature four years old. Yeah. This is sick, folks. This is absolutely sick. This is the other form of abuse that is there. My nephew-in-law thinks he's a dinosaur. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:37 Should we surgically graft a tail onto him? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Look, we've got Eric Peters is going to be joining us at the top of the hour uh let me just follow up with something that i said yesterday when i talked about uh tucker carlson um and uh i made a statement about uh you know he said i read the bible and i was really amazed he said i've been episcopalian all my life. I'm 54 years old. I never read it. And I said, yeah, that's a problem. A lot, a lot of people. And I mentioned my wife's experience as a Roman Catholic, a listener chimed in as I was talking about it, talked about their experience. It said, you know,
Starting point is 01:59:18 all the time I was growing up as a Roman Catholic, I never read the Bible. I've got a lot of friends are still in that and they don't read the Bible either. Angry Tiger got angry with me, said, I would like to point out that us Catholics study the Bible. My church has a Bible study, and several other Catholic churches in my area have a Bible study. We have Bibles made specifically for that. We mark them up. We highlight them. We do the same things you guys do. We also have a thing called catechism, where we study the Bible in depth and people who run the catechism class have studied the Bible in depth for years. So I would just like to point out, it's not true that Catholics do not read the Bible. It's a huge part of our faith. I would also like to point out that if it wasn't for the Catholic religion, there would be no Bible when it was put together at the
Starting point is 02:00:00 Council of Nicaea, put together for the Catholic Mass, so you can thank us for that. So, and let me just say, I pointed this out, and what I had to say in terms of Tucker and the Episcopalian Church and my wife's experience and listeners' experience as Roman Catholics, what I was talking about, and this happens in every kind of church, you know, go to a Baptist church, Methodist church, Presby kind of church, go to a Baptist church, Methodist church, Presbyterian church, go to an independent church. We can all have a situation where the Bible is not the center of it, and that can happen anywhere at any time. And you can make a pope out of the pastor that's in that church.
Starting point is 02:00:41 Or you can have a situation where you have, you know, you elevate the Pope as superior to the Bible. And that's what we all need to think about, regardless of what tradition or what denomination you are in. You know, what is your standard? And, you know, we have different ways that you can look at things. You can say, well, we have the Bible, we've got tradition, and we've got a church leader. Which one are we going to pick? Well, it usually winds up to be the church leader, because the church leader is going to be defining these types of things. And I look at it as the same type of thing when we're talking about
Starting point is 02:01:18 science or scientism, right? If you don't keep people, if you have quote-unquote science where they don't have to show the data about covid or about climate or whatever now you're just following the leader you're following some authority figure you're following fauci who is the science and you can do the same thing in religion you can just follow the pastor or the pope or whoever because he's religion and i'll follow him uh well the reality is is that there is an objective standard that stands above all this and then the political realm you see the same type of thing happening with the constitution the constitution we're told by the people who want to constantly alter it for their benefit we're told that the constitution is a
Starting point is 02:02:01 living document and it means whatever I say it means today. I don't really care what it actually is written there. And we can have people who will interpret that for us, you know, the judiciary or whatever, or a politician. But it's a living document. It means what I say. And we can fall into that trap in politics and science and religion and all these different things. We have to have objective facts. We have to have a standard.
Starting point is 02:02:31 And if you're going to say that the Bible is a standard, you know, it's kind of like what we're saying with these LGBT churches. You know, they say, well, you know, I think that God and Jesus are transgenders or whatever. And it's like, well, if you just want to make it up, why bother to go back to the Bible? Why bother to pretend that we've got a Constitution if you just want to rule as an authoritarian dictator? You have to have some standard, some basis in reality that's going to be there, some objective standard that isn't going to change.
Starting point is 02:03:02 The Constitution, you've got a process for doing that, but they don't do anything about it. They just want to modify it. And it even goes to things like the chosen. I've talked about this before. You know, all the editorializing that has to go into any of this stuff when you make a movie about it. What was his demeanor? Who was he looking at when he said these words, even if you have him saying the same words? But they go even further than that. I mean, you look at the chosen. Do you want the Jesusesus of the bible or do you want the jesus of dallas jenkins you know he's got jesus i i i've read i haven't seen it i read somebody had a review said yeah he's sitting there practicing a sermon on the mount with mary or something like seriously that's dallas jenkins like, seriously? That's Dallas Jenkins' Jesus?
Starting point is 02:03:45 Not my Jesus. Not the Jesus I see in the Bible. And so, again, you look at all this stuff. By the way, everybody was upset. They were shutting down the fourth season of that because of the writer's strike and everything. And then they got a special exemption, and they're continuing on with it. But I was going to talk about that and say, you know, well, you know,
Starting point is 02:04:07 Dallas Jenkins doesn't really need Hollywood writers to do the chosen. You know, I got some other writers that have chipped in on this. We've got Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Maybe you might be interested in what they have to say or maybe not. I don't know. We're going to take a break and we're going to come back with Eric Peters. Stay with us. The common man.
Starting point is 02:04:43 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
Starting point is 02:05:15 while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavidknight show.com. All right.
Starting point is 02:06:03 Joining us now is Eric Peters of epautos.com. And we got Eric here visually for the first time, never had Eric on a visually. And of course he's kind of worried about the technology. So if anything fails, we will just start over and we'll do a voiceover to start with, but glad to have you on Eric. Good to see you. Look, I'm not an AI bot. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 02:06:21 And you've got a special t-shirt you want to show us there too, as well. Hopefully you guys will be able to see that i stand with that's great key for the long long e and a sheep you must have loved that back and forth with tucker and pence over the last friday wasn't that something he's brilliant he does such a good job of of laying bear traps for these people that they just step right into. And they do it unconsciously. And even after he did it, even after Pence said, it's not his problem, he did not realize the magnitude of his own gas. You know, it's just astounding how insular these people are, how tone deaf they are.
Starting point is 02:06:59 Yeah. And totally focused away from this country. Not my concern. What's going on in the U S not my concern at all. I'm focused on Kiev. Yeah, right. I mean, the contemptuousness, the callousness of that. You know, Americans are hurting badly.
Starting point is 02:07:18 And we're supposed to be preoccupied, obsessed with, and willing to bear literally any burden, including potentially a draft, including possibly a nuclear conflagration over Ukraine. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's astounding. including possibly a nuclear conflagration over Ukraine. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's astounding. Well, because it's not really about Ukraine. It's about their empire, isn't it? It's about the NATO empire.
Starting point is 02:07:35 You know, they want to extend NATO to the Pacific Ocean. They want to extend their power everywhere. And it's really a hallmark of a decaying empire, isn't it? They're so focused on what is happening externally with their geopolitics that they're, that the country itself is just decaying internally. Yeah. It's like the, you know, the United Kingdom trying to maintain the Raj long after it became evident that Britain could barely support itself anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:57 Yeah. And also, you know, the, the deliberate things that are done, I mean, it's not just the massive amounts of money. It's not just the fact that we've sent them so much weaponry that, you know, Biden has to admit, well, we haven't got any more of this ammunition. So we've got to send them cluster bombs. It's like, what you're out of ammunition. You know, you've had people say that you violated national security by telling people we're out of ammunition. You're not supposed to say that. And, uh, you know, but they're, they're going to sacrifice our defense is what really they're talking about. Sacrifice our defense for their program of offense.
Starting point is 02:08:27 And, uh, it, it truly is amazing to see them continue to double down with us, but you know, Pence and Nikki Haley, he could have done the same thing with her. She might've been smart enough to, I see the trap coming and she might've come on later on. Uh, he found her in some other ways. He outed her, but she is a huge, uh, neoconon as well but truly was amazing to see this tone deaf pence talking about that and i think by the way that tucker's audience for that interview was something on the order of nine million you know which is very you know when you think about that you know they kicked him off of
Starting point is 02:08:59 fox news my understanding is fox viewership is down something like 30 percent is that right yeah since since they since they got rid of him. Yeah. And you know, he is in a kind of almost marginalized platform relative to having a major media presence. And he's still managing to draw in numbers like that. And it just gives you an idea of how thirsty people are for legitimate commentary for people who are willing to call out these shibboleths and point fingers in the right direction. I don't know if you saw this or not. I saw this one place.
Starting point is 02:09:30 It hasn't been widely reported. I chose not to play it. But Jesse Waters, who took his place, and of course, they changed their lineup at Fox, and he's got the time slot that Tucker used to be in. And he took a call from his mom who called into the show and she was the most domineering uh patronizing person leftist democrat you can imagine and it was one of the most cringeworthy things i have ever seen scolding him for his conservative views on his own program and he's you know uh okay mom let's go now i've got one more thing I want to say to you.
Starting point is 02:10:05 It was really funny. I don't know. I mean, they were really circling the drain at Fox is amazing. Yeah. Well, you know, all this stuff would be funny if it weren't so tragic and weren't so dangerous. And there's some of the things that we can get into. Did you catch the news that, uh, Ford has lowered the price of the
Starting point is 02:10:21 F one 50, uh, electric lightning by $10,000. So now it only costs $10,000 more than it cost when they first introduced it. It sounds like Amazon Prime Day, you know, raise the price and then drop it with a discount so that it's the same or more expensive. That's amazing. They're absolutely desperate. My understanding is they now have something on the order of nearly a three-month inventory of these things stacked up. They're sitting on dealership lots in depots outside of the manufacturing facilities waiting to be shipped that they can't unload. And well, duh, the entry price point of this thing is $60,000. And whether you like EVs or not, the bottom line
Starting point is 02:11:01 is there are only so many people who can afford to spend sixty thousand dollars or for that matter fifty thousand dollars on a vehicle it's just it's it's it's not tenable purely uh as an economic proposition and even the mainstream press is beginning to cover it you know it's really starting to look like a free fall problem uh to have all these vehicles stacked up and keep in mind that we're right now already on the cusp of the 2024 model year. Yeah. 2024 models are coming out and in five months it will be the calendar year 2024 at which point this inventory this massive glut I think it's something like 10,000 just in just in the case of Ford's Mach-E Mustang I think the figure is 9,700 of them are sitting around waiting for people to buy them. So we get to the new year, and these new 2023 EVs are going to be old EVs, even though they've not been driven by anybody yet. They're now used cars, and they're going to have to be fire sale sold
Starting point is 02:11:56 just to get rid of them. It's a fiasco. You don't want to use that term fire sale when you're talking about an EV, right? Probably shouldn't have. Ford has upped what it has admitted to thus far in terms of how much it's lost on these things. The figure is now $3.7 billion on this electrified tulip craze. Maybe Disney can buy them, you know? They can get the same lady who ladies run the franchises that they bought into the ground. That's one of the ways they're going to try to prop this up, you know, particularly with
Starting point is 02:12:33 regard to the lightning. A lot of government agencies have trucks, you know, and they'll use the buying power of the government, which means you make it you and me pay for it. Yeah, you know, to buy these electric vehicles, to create the illusion that there's a market for these things. But even the federal government, state governments can absorb only so many of these things. You know, it's going to come to a head pretty soon, I think. So they can make some illusory fiat currency, as much of it as they want. And then they can go out and buy as many of these electric vehicles as they want at whatever price they
Starting point is 02:13:05 want to sell them for and uh you know it's no problem it's just one fantasy stacked on top of the other you know and meanwhile pence says no we got to have wars everywhere it's absolutely incredible i i saw that article at least an article about the backlogs of that is that they have the smaller than typical, considerably smaller than typical backlog of internal combustion engines, which they are pushing them out of the way. That's what people want. They don't want and can't afford, as you pointed out, the electric vehicles. They talked about a Genesis luxury EV car that was $80,000. They sold three of them this last year. Yeah, I test drove one.
Starting point is 02:13:51 It's not a bad vehicle per se, but if you look at it relative to the non-electric version of the same thing, if I remember correctly, the price difference is about $20,000. Wow. $20, dollars price difference and the electrified version again i'm kind of freewheeling here a little bit but i think it's it's fully charged range is approximately i think 250 something miles fully charged that's your best case that you can travel in this thing which is about half as far as the non-electric version can go so who's going to sign up for that? You're going to pay $20,000 more
Starting point is 02:14:25 for a vehicle that only goes half as far. And because of the fact that it only goes half as far, you're going to be planning your life around these recharging sessions, which you'll be doing often precisely because you can't go very far in these things. Who wants to do that? And then we're talking about recharging. i had a article a couple of days ago about how and you had some amazing experiences uh trying to charge your evs that you were reviewing when it was cold uh and and now it's even worse when it's really hot uh they're telling people uh yeah they don't charge very well and um and not only that but if you charge them when it's really hot, you're going to reduce your battery life. And especially if you fast charge them when it's hot.
Starting point is 02:15:10 And so we had all these situations. There's one guy, I remember when you did it around Christmas time and it impacted your holiday trip, just like another guy who was reviewing one. It impacted, he had to cancel his holiday trip because he could never get it. They said, we're waiting for the battery to warm up before we can charge it. And the battery never warmed up, so he could never charge it. He couldn't go anywhere. You had a similar situation like that, didn't you, as well? I did.
Starting point is 02:15:32 It's a serially compounding problem. It's one thing creates another thing creates another thing. For example, when it's cold, many people don't realize that the vehicle is using the power to keep itself warm because if the battery gets below a certain temperature, it can't accept charge. So it has an internal system that maintains temperature. Well, it maintains that by drawing electrical power
Starting point is 02:15:52 from itself to keep itself warm. So you've got the circling the drain problem. You keep the thing plugged in so as it doesn't lose charge while it's sitting, but it's burning through charge just sitting, trying to keep itself warm. It's, you know, it's so, it's so Byzantine and perplexed. Sometimes I'm reduced to stumbling and not even being able to articulate it. It's just so ridiculous.
Starting point is 02:16:17 I remember James May had his park during really cold weather. James May that was with, um, uh, you know, cop gear and stuff. And, um, and he loved it. He's all about it. But then, you know, the thing lost all of its charge because as you're pointing out, it's constantly leaking charge, uh, maintaining stuff and he couldn't just jumpstart it. He had to take the, all the battery, uh, the, uh, car body panels off. So he could get to the battery.
Starting point is 02:16:42 It was amazing. He did a video about it. He said, look, I've got to completely deconstruct this car to get the battery. And I was talking about, and now they come up with this thing about hot stuff. It turns out that really hot weather is actually worse for it than really cold weather. I said, so what these things are that we should start calling them Goldilocks vehicles, right? Sorry that the temperature is going to be
Starting point is 02:17:02 just right in order to do this thing, or you're not going to go anywhere with it. And then they're telling people the same type of stuff they did when it's really cold. Don't use your heater because it's going to use a lot of electricity. So now they're telling people when it's really hot, don't use your air conditioning. Car comes first. The car is first. The home turf of the electric car is Southern California.
Starting point is 02:17:23 That's where all of this began. And if you live in L.A. or San Francisco, a place where it's temperate, it doesn't generally get too very hot or too very cold. It's relatively temperate. Most of the driving is relatively flat, and the distances are relatively short. It creates this distorted impression of reality. We found out last winter, I personally found out, when you take one of these things out when it's 15 degrees outside, your
Starting point is 02:17:47 range will drop by anywhere from 20 to 40% depending on the situation. And then it takes significantly longer to recharge it because batteries just aren't that efficient when it's very cold outside. And it's just one thing after another thing after another thing. And they're not telling people, they're not leveling with them. I pointed out in an article that I did back in December about the lightning. I like to read through the owner's manuals that come with the vehicles that I get, because I often find revelatory things in there. And right there in the Ford manual, it tells, it advises people who own this vehicle to limit the amount of fast charging that they do,
Starting point is 02:18:24 because fast charging is hard on the battery. They use the word health. It's hard on the health of the battery. And what they mean is that regular heavy discharging and fast charging is a good recipe for killing your battery quickly. And when that happens, you know, people don't realize just how much it costs to replace one of these electric car batteries. It's so much that it's not worth replacing it you know even after the vehicle is just three or four years old it's depreciated by 30 to 40 depending on the vehicle
Starting point is 02:18:54 and now you're looking at a battery that is probably about as expensive to replace as whatever the depreciated value of the car itself is who's going going to do that? And why is it that we are willing to accept? Here's another number. They will say that it's normal for a battery, an electric car battery, to suffer about a 1% to 2% loss of its charge capacity each year, even under optimal conditions. 1% to 2%. So let's see, after 10 years, you're going to have lost 10% of the range the vehicle came with. Wouldn't there be an upwelling of outrage if you bought a Corolla, a non-electric Corolla, and by the time it was 10 years old, you'd lost 10% of how far it could drive? That's right.
Starting point is 02:19:39 Yeah, and your fuel economy and all the rest of the stuff. Yeah. It is interesting, isn't it? And you talk about cost of replacement. There was a story this last week about somebody who had a Rivian vehicle that they paid 80-some-odd thousand dollars for, and they got an offender bender. And, you know, first the insurance adjuster for the other company says,
Starting point is 02:19:57 eh, it'd be about $1,200. And they take it to a certified repair place and say, no, $42,000, $41,000 or something like that. It's going to be half the price of the vehicle because they've got to take all this stuff apart to get to it. Kind of like the James May thing. But then also there's these minor accidents where you've done something to compromise the battery and you may or may not realize it.
Starting point is 02:20:18 If they do realize it and they, you know, see the batteries compromised, it may be, you know, totaling the vehicle, who knows, Who knows? But you could have a situation where maybe it's damaged these batteries and the thing becomes very, very dangerous. We're seeing this happening all the time. As a matter of fact, when I talked about the goalie lock stuff, I had a listener who said, why don't you call them time bombs? You've been calling them time bombs in the past. It's like, yeah, I know.
Starting point is 02:20:39 You know, we talk about the lithium battery electric scooters and how many fires and people have died just in New York city from those types of things. We see the buses in Europe that have caught fire in France and in Germany, Germany burned down an entire bus station. So they said, all right, let's, you know, take these things away. We don't want to use them anymore. And in Canada, uh, they were having problems with it. So they said, we're going to take the batteries out and put
Starting point is 02:21:04 diesel engines back in them. So we have all these issues about the battery. And yet our government is so adamant about the battery. It's like Trump with the mRNA shot and Fauci and Biden. You know, you got to have that mRNA. You can't have anything else. You got to have the mRNA. And that's a very telling thing, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:21:20 When they've got one solution to their crisis that they've created. We know that that was what they were trying to do in the first place, wasn't it? When they've got one solution to their crisis that they've created. We know that that was what they were trying to do in the first place, wasn't it? People need to understand that in the first case, there's that inherent fire risk, even if the battery case is not compromised. It's just built in. It's the nature of lithium ion batteries. Now, if you're in an impact, as in the case of that Rivian, how do you tell, how do you establish whether the case has been damaged, whether there's been any compromising of the structural integrity of it and the thousands of individual cells within that battery? And the answer is realistically, you can't. What are you going to do? You're going to take this thing out of the vehicle after, as you say, disassembling the vehicle, and
Starting point is 02:21:58 then you're going to have a very expensive technician disassemble this battery and examine each individual cell. Of course, what you're going to do is out of prudence and due diligence, you're going to throw the thing away and get a new battery. The problem is that the battery is 40,000 bucks. And the really criminal thing about this is that you and I and everybody else who does not have an EV are going to be made to subsidize this because the insurance mafia is not going to allow just the people who bought EVs to pay this because then they wouldn't be able to afford to cover their vehicles. What they're going to do is spread the costs of all of these losses across everybody who's forced to buy insurance.
Starting point is 02:22:36 We'll even see what happens. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I think some of it is particular to the EVs. I think some of this is due to perhaps even maybe Rivian being a new car company. They don't know or they don't care about what repairing the stuff is looking like, right? This is probably something that's being shared by everybody, kind of a planned obsolescence. You know, we're going to make it so that it's not really repairable and we really don't care. You've seen that with really expensive cars in the past, you you know with some sports cars that have carbon fiber tubs and you know they get hit
Starting point is 02:23:09 from one side well it's just total it you know because you you've now this is this is that's been true of specialty cars for some time and you know it kind of goes territory when you buy a specialty car but what they really want i believe uh, is to have everybody get on the treadmill of serial debt, serial payments. They do not want people to buy a car and pay it off and own it and then potentially drive it for 15 or even 20 years. They don't want that. What they want is a vehicle that basically becomes functionally useless or compromised by about eight years and ideally before that. And then you have to go out and get another one. You know, remember, these EVs are not going to be on the used car market for all the reasons
Starting point is 02:23:49 that we've talked about. You know, a four or five-year-old EV, let's say, used EV with a battery that's lost 50% of its charge is essentially worthless. Who's going to buy that? Nobody. You know, the used car market is going to be greatly affected by this EV juggernaut if EVs become the only kinds of vehicles that people are allowed to buy anymore. And, of course, that's one of the reasons why that is the only type of car that they want you to be able to get because they don't want people to have cars, period. Going back to 1970, you know, the first Earth Day, you got all the hippies out there yelling, uh, kill the car, kill the car. This has been, you know, their goal, regardless of where they think we're going to go into global warming or global cooling or whatever, or there's a pandemic, we got to kill the car and they got to kill the car for future
Starting point is 02:24:33 pandemic lockdowns as well, because that was our escape hatch from their tyranny. So it's sorry. Kill it and control it. You know, electric cars, as we've discussed this before, they are particularly amenable to being controlled wirelessly because they are generally hooked up or connected is the word to the manufacturer through which they get these updates over the air. And, you know, it can be updated to just not, not accept charge or to not start or to not work.
Starting point is 02:25:01 So let's say there's another pandemic and they decree another lockdown well all they have to do is almost literally throw a switch you know and and and make it so that you're not able to drive the ev because even though it's in your garage they're the ones who have control over it yeah yeah and it is a surveillance uh aspect where they're putting into the cars not just evs but you know all all cars. And they will be doing it with EVs as well. They're putting facial recognition in. They're now talking about, and you've got several manufacturers who are talking about putting this in. We're not going to unlock the car unless the car recognizes you.
Starting point is 02:25:36 We're not going to turn it on unless it recognizes you. All of this stuff is going to be incredibly expensive. It's not being driven by what consumers want. It's being driven by government demands because they want to make everything a government-granted privilege everything has to come with a biometric identification and so they can know where you are and control what you do and where you go that's that's a big part of it and all these automobile manufacturers are playing along with it so they're allowed to do business they're going to play along with all of this issue,
Starting point is 02:26:05 but they've got to kill the car or they won't have the kind of 15 minute city and smart city controls that they want to have on people. Yeah. America was unique in all the world in that the average guy, average person was able to afford a car from the time of the model T all the way up to our time. And that's something that generally speaking, people who live in Europe, certainly people who lived in Asia, Africa,
Starting point is 02:26:30 average people didn't get to drive their own personal car. They didn't have a garage. Most of them don't have a single family home. Most of them live in an apartment in an urban hive somewhere. And that's what these so-called elites, these technocratic people, these overlords, would-be overlord people, that's what they want for us. Yes. be there for kids coming up to have a car and then to have a house and then to raise a family in their house because they've made the cost of all of these things so prohibitive that a lot of, you know, you talk to kids and they'll tell you, and they're not wrong that they've given up on the idea of, of, you know, the American dream of having a home, a single family home and a car and all of these things. They just don't think it's something they'll ever be able to have because
Starting point is 02:27:23 of the cost of it. So what do they do? They stay home, and they live in their parents' house, and they play video games. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Yeah, it is truly amazing. And I was going to put together a bunch of pictures. I went back and looked at what travel was like 60 years ago on planes versus what they're doing now.
Starting point is 02:27:42 Because there was several stories that came out about how they were making the plane seats narrower and narrower and you know uh just just cramping it more and more and um you know fitting um three seats in the space of what you used to have two seats uh just a few years ago i went back in the 1960s found a bunch of shots of Scandinavian airlines and they had wide aisles. They were rolling out these massive, uh, uh, plates of, uh, charcuterie and big, uh, uh, cuts of meat. I mean, it looked like Fred Flintstone was eating this stuff. I mean, gigantic, uh, uh, leg of, um, uh, you know, that they're carving up
Starting point is 02:28:22 for people and everybody is there in a suit and tie instead of their pajamas. I look at it and I say, isn't it amazing how our society has rapidly declined and declined in the direction that we already see in China. You know, it used to be kind of a joke that people in China would wear pajamas everywhere because that's all they could afford. They were completely controlled. And when we look at the cities that they're living in, and when I was in China, what we saw were people being packed into high rises. Those high rises are essentially like your 15 minute city. Uh, it is like a smart city where they can control everything. They're living in factories in many cases, slave labor, uh,
Starting point is 02:28:59 slave factories like that. But even in the rural areas, when we got out of the city, people were living in what was essentially storage when we got out of the city, people were living in what was essentially storage sheds that we would have here, you know, three concrete walls and a metal roof, and you've got a garage door that opens up and that's their entire house. And so the family during the day, at least, uh, to, uh, keep from, uh, you know, being too hot, they didn't have any windows or doors. They would have to raise the entire garage door. So they got a three-sided house, very tiny, all their stuff in there. And as you drive past them on the road, you just see everybody sitting in those little
Starting point is 02:29:31 houses there. That's what they want for us. They, and they're getting there very rapidly. You know, when you look at Biden demanding that, uh, what was it? 60% of the cars have to be EVs by 2030. We're looking at like six years away. What do you know about the cycle? Tell us a little bit about how that's going to affect
Starting point is 02:29:47 the cycle plans of the automotive companies. I mean, they're already working on the cars, or will be soon, that they're going to be having on the market in six model years from now. What we're talking about is a reversion. America had achieved a degree of affluence for the average person, working class people, unprecedented in the history of the world. Working class people could afford
Starting point is 02:30:11 a home, working class people could afford a car. Airplane travel used to be a really amazing experience. Now you've probably heard about the WEF, and I think even the British government has officially gone on board with this. but in our near future, you'll perhaps be allowed to take a plane trip once every maybe two or three years. Yeah, every three years of less than 1,000 miles, and that's coming from C40, which began as 40 cities, and it was like London and New York were starting this thing, you know, Bloomberg in New York and Sadiq Khan putting this up, but now they've got almost 100 cities that have signed on to this.
Starting point is 02:30:48 And that's a radical thing. You should point out one flight every three years, less than a thousand miles. Yeah. Now with regard to cars, it's a similar thing in that we're going back a hundred years, more than a hundred years. We're going back to the era when a car was a luxury item, an indulgence. It was something that the very rich could afford, but the average person could not afford it. I did an article a couple of weeks ago where I mentioned that, that a TV show, which I liked a lot, Downton Abbey, remember Downton Abbey?
Starting point is 02:31:14 I never thought it came on after we stopped watching TV. We moved in 1996 to an area where we couldn't get TV reception, not PBS, not anything, no cable, nothing like that. It was great. It was a very liberating thing. But yeah, I missed Downton Abbey. It's about late Victorian England. And it focuses on the family of an Earl.
Starting point is 02:31:33 And, you know, they live in a castle. And, of course, you know, the Earl has several cars. His servants drive them for him, you know. But the servants get to walk. You know, the average person does not get to have a car. And that's what's happening. And why it's happening, in my opinion, I think that there's this really sick element of sadism that's going on. And what I mean by that is it's not enough for these ultra rich people to have very nice things, which nobody would begrudge somebody who
Starting point is 02:32:00 has worked hard and earned money, let them have it. I don't care that somebody's got a Porsche, let them have a Porsche. That's great if they bought it, but they are only happy if they have everything and we have nothing. So, you know, it's not enough that they have a Porsche. Uh, it's everything that you don't have a camera. You see, that's what they want. They want it. It's not enough that, that they live in a 10,000 square foot castle or McMansion. It's that you can't have a 2,000 square foot home yourself. That's what is driving a lot of this. You know, they want to reestablish the distinctions that were that were vitiated to a great extent in everyday meaningful ways by the prosperity that was engendered by when America was a free country and a working class guy could afford to buy a single family house and could afford,
Starting point is 02:32:48 uh, to buy a car and to take care of his family without his wife having to go work in order to make it viable. That's right. I remember back in the 1970s and when I was still in school, uh, my dad used to subscribe to business week. And so I'd read the articles about what was happening with that.
Starting point is 02:33:04 And I, one thing that stuck with me more than anything i ever read in that magazine was a guy talking about the difference uh in terms of attitude in america versus europe he said in europe if we see somebody who's got i don't know rolls royce or ferrari or whatever they see that and they get angry and they key it or they do something that they hate those people for having a car like that, where he says, but in America, if you've got a really nice car like that, he said, uh, the people look at that. It's like, wow, look at that.
Starting point is 02:33:35 Someday I'm going to have a car like that. Right. And it was that reason why class warfare did not work, uh, for, you know, the weather underground and bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn and these people. And it's why they turned to race war in this country because the class warfare didn't work. It was ingrained in people's minds that they could, they had upward mobility if they worked hard and did something that was good.
Starting point is 02:33:56 Today, we want to destroy all that. We want to allocate spaces in the university, spaces in the corporations based on your skin color and other things that are immutable, youutable, your sex or your imagined sex or whatever. That's what we're going to base this on. It's not going to be based on merit. And so we've completely destroyed all of that. And as you're pointing out, people used to be able to afford a car. It was something that Ford wanted to happen.
Starting point is 02:34:25 He said, I want my employees who work on the line, I want them to be able to afford one of these things. It was something that Ford wanted to happen. He said, I want my employees who work on the line, I want them to be able to afford one of these things. You look at the attitude that these guys have towards their employees today. They want to kill their employees. They want to spy on their employees. They want to, you know, Amazon is watching every single move that a truck driver makes. They despise the people that work for them.
Starting point is 02:34:43 They want to take everything from them for them they want to take everything from them and they want to hoard everything for themselves that's what we have here and it's going to engender class warfare they don't realize that but you know they're also pushing race war at the same time i think one of the great ironies of our era is the juxtaposition between our era and if you go back you know 100 years to the so-called robber baron era remember the robber barons yeah uh you know and the accusation of the left at that time was that these titans of industry the john d rockefellers the jp morgans and the henry fords you know they were oppressing the working man when in fact you know whatever their motives were maybe
Starting point is 02:35:21 they were greed heads but the point is that their activities actually elevated the lot of the average person substantially. You can disparage Henry Ford all you want to. The fact of the matter is he made the Model T and he made it available at a price that practically anybody who had a job could afford to buy. Whereas now you've got this complete inversion where the left is the source the source of all of the the the functional and practical animosity toward the working person the average guy you know in favor of these elites so you know i just i just find that to be an interesting juxtaposition yeah you go back and look at michael bloomberg when he was running for president and he wrote the the thing you know trashing farmers you know and everybody said wait a farmers, they've got to do a lot of variety of things and they've got to be a master of all
Starting point is 02:36:08 trades. And it's a, it's technologically challenging today as well. But if you looked at what he was having to say, it wasn't just trashing the farmers. He was trashing all of us. He was saying, you know, we had the industrial revolution. We had the, uh, you know, where people came off the farms and we had people on the farms. And then we put people in the factories. You know, those farmers and the factory workers, those of us who are smart right now are working on how we're going to replace all of them with robots. And we just have to figure out how we're going to pacify people
Starting point is 02:36:35 so they don't come after us with guillotines. That's what he said, guillotines. And so we're going to have universal basic income, which is going to pacify people. And we're going to own everything ourselves. And we just got to figure out how to control people that are alive and how to reduce the number of people who are alive. And that's their mindset with this.
Starting point is 02:36:51 They are megalomaniacs. They are tyrants. They're authoritarians. It's very concerning. And you see that everybody's getting the same marching orders. When you go back and you look at the lockdowns, all the rest of the stuff, it didn't matter whether it was Trump or whether it was Boris Johnson or conservatives. It didn't matter if it was the so-called liberals, the libertarians in Australia. It didn't matter
Starting point is 02:37:14 what their political philosophy was. They were all authoritarian tyrants, and they were all doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time, for which there was no rationale except for their power and control that's the scary thing about it they're all on the same page and all these nations and political parties and politicians they're just placekeepers and everybody's going off of this central script of global governance with corporations and uh you know the the un and davos psychologically to get back to that topic, because I find this interesting, I hope you guys do too. People like Bloomberg, a lot of these people at that level,
Starting point is 02:37:52 what is it that drives their animosity? And I think the answer to that question is, what have they ever done? A lot of these people are just suits. They're people who don't have any tangible productive skills, who haven't actually done anything that has been received in the market with approbation by their fellow man without a gun behind it. So these people naturally gravitate into government where their frustrations can be imposed on people because now they have power. They can't persuade.
Starting point is 02:38:21 They can't convince. They like to use force. And I have never, and I used to work in Washington, and I remember thinking to myself, I've never seen such a concentrated concatenation of non-entities, arrogant non-entities in my entire life. You know, if you took away their government job and their government power, what would these people be doing? Most of them couldn't qualify to be a broom pusher at a warehouse somewhere in terms of what they can do. That's right. And I think they know that, you know, you have people like Jared and Ivanka Kushner, right? They not know that they're trust fund kids. You know, most of these people have done, as you pointed out, they've not really done anything to get where they are, except maybe, you know, bribe politicians or cut corners somewhere or come up with something and shut
Starting point is 02:39:05 down the safety measures of it so they can make a killing literally with their drugs or whatever. But they're also, I think, Eric, I think they're very much like, uh, you see the kind of paranoia with entertainers, right? Even the most phenomenally successful entertainers. I've watched this all my life. They're very, very paranoid about their latest project because they always perceive that they're only as good as their last film or whatever their last review and they're so concerned that they're going to lose it right and they're concerned that there's some new star that's coming up or some new director that's coming up and it's going to do everything and they're not going to have it and so they get really incredibly paranoid and really hate their rivals.
Starting point is 02:39:46 And I think these people that you're talking about, like Bloomberg, you know, they haven't done anything. They know that they don't have any skills to do this stuff. And so they're very concerned that somebody is going to come along and take this stuff away from them. So we got to kill these people before they, you know, there's if we have enough people out there, there's obviously going to be somebody who's going to come up from the masses. Well, if we're going to have freedom and a big population, you're going to have people who are going to rise up to these positions to challenge them. So they've got to protect themselves by reducing the number of people that are out there and then enforcing totalitarian controls so that if they identify somebody who is coming up through the ranks, they can shut them down, cut their legs off at the. At the beginning. Yeah, I think the key to this, I try to harp on this cause I do think it's
Starting point is 02:40:32 important is to understand that their motives are malicious. I think a lot of people, normal people, just the default position is when they, when they encounter somebody who's advocating something well, even if I disagree with that person, they're well-intended. They may be wrong. They may not have the facts that they need to have, but they're not doing this out of a sense of malignancy. They're not trying really deliberately to impose harm or to hurt other people. I think it's important to understand that that's exactly what's going on. Yes. I've said that many times. You know, look at Ted Bundy. Really smart guy.
Starting point is 02:41:07 Looked good. How many women did he rape and kill? And he raped and killed them because he was able to gain their trust. And because they were normal people, they couldn't imagine that somebody would do the kinds of stuff that he did, right? And we do that same thing with politicians. We project our values onto them. The big mistake that we make all the time is failing to realize, A, how evil these people are, and B, how powerful the technology that they are accumulating is.
Starting point is 02:41:32 Their ability to do it and their willingness to do it, we don't really understand the magnitude of those two things. And that's our biggest danger. Yes, exactly. And it becomes evident when you stop to examine a particular case of an individual who refuses to acknowledge when they made a mistake, a really serious mistake that cost a lot of people harm. You know, the fact that a person can't do that, I messed up. I didn't mean to. I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm horribly, I'm massively sorry about what I've done and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. No, instead, these people just, they continue to elaborate their lies to defend their prior lies so that they can sell us yet another lie over and over and over again. That's right. Yeah, we see that with Trump.
Starting point is 02:42:22 We see it with Biden. We see it with every one of these guys. They will never admit to doing anything wrong. over and over and over again. That's right. Yeah. We see that with Trump. We see it with Biden. We see it with every one of these guys. Right. They will never admit to doing anything wrong. As a matter of fact, it was those other people. I hired him, you know, as, as Maria Bartiromo said to him, you know, but you hired those people. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:42:34 They were awful. I I'll do better job next time or whatever. It's like, I'm sorry. Uh, you've had your turn next. Uh, it was amazing to see this guy. It's like, know well you know all of a sudden i'm president all of a sudden i'm president right it's not like he ran for it for a couple of years but all of a sudden i'm president and i find myself in this car with
Starting point is 02:42:53 melania and we got 250 motorcycles following us i've got armies under my control you know it's just overwhelming as so juvenile it's unbelievable and incapable of admitting that he did anything wrong. But of course, Biden's not going to admit it either. They know that that is a fatal weakness. They will always make two mistakes rather than admit to one. They will double down on that mistake and they will use that mistake to gain more power.
Starting point is 02:43:17 They'll use that mistake. If it's an agency, they'll use it to enlarge the agency. Well, you know, this happened because my agency is too small. So you got to give me more people, uh, my little empire, you know, it's always that failing up, you know? So we've got this really difficult problem of dealing with, uh, pathological narcissists and
Starting point is 02:43:35 pathologically psychopathic people. You know, how do you do that? You know, how do you do that in the context of politics and society? It's one thing if you've got somebody who's in a mental facility and you've got a doctor there and you're trying to treat this person, but now you've got people out there who have offices in power, you know, and they control the press and they control the corporations. And we find ourselves, normal people, in this really just alarming and anxiety inducing surreal world where standards as you said earlier before we got on the air together objective truth doesn't matter everything's fluid definitions are changing arbitrarily and there's this miasma of just malevolence out there you know that has everybody
Starting point is 02:44:17 on edge because it's real yeah and and trying to figure out how do we grapple with this how do we how do we deal with it that's right if we If we don't have any values, you know, we're just ships at sea without a rudder and they want that kind of chaos because that allows them to control us. Uh, it's really key. And I think one of the things, you know, what do we do about it? As you say, well, first of all, we've got to understand who these people are. Even if we can't do anything about it, we got not live by the lie. As Solzhenitsyn said, uh, that these people mean well,
Starting point is 02:44:43 or that they know what they're doing. Okay. Neither one of those things are true. We should understand that by now. And we should start trying to educate other people about that. And if we understand, and it was a, it just kind of a very, very, very, very slow awakening that I saw throughout this lockdown, you know, I was doing everything I could to try to tell people, this is a plan. They've been rehearsing this for two decades. You know, this is exactly what they wanted to do with the germ games and all the rest of the stuff. But it took a while for people to understand that. And gradually, as they began to understand it, the response was, well, we're just not
Starting point is 02:45:16 going to participate in that anymore. And they effectively nullified it by their non-participation. They nullified it by their non-fear. And so that's the key thing. We need to understand that even though these people are powerful, we still hold the balance of power in our numbers. And that's one of the reasons why they are so adamant about controlling and censoring speech and the narrative
Starting point is 02:45:38 because that is the high ground. If you can control the narrative, you can stop people from realizing what the real truth is and acting upon it. And that acting upon it could be just very, you know, it could be as simple as just walking away from these people and ignoring them and nullifying by that refusal to cower in fear before them and their imaginary problems. And you just cut the legs out from underneath them. And, uh, and that's the key thing I think is that we got to focus on, uh, information, uh, getting around these control things.
Starting point is 02:46:12 And we need to understand that the mass of humanity, and there's a tremendous, uh, inertia involved in this. You know, it's like the Titanic, you know, we're heading for that iceberg. And you, you got some guys on deck. It's iceberg iceberg. And then finally, when you realize that the iceberg is there if you haven't started changing course there really isn't anything that you can do about it that inertia is you can't turn that thing on a dime and you're going to still crash into it we got to wake people up because we're getting really close to this there they want to have their new society in place and within six years i know and it's going to collapse everything
Starting point is 02:46:45 and and rebuild in six years i i think that it's a mistake to focus exclusively or even predominantly on externalities you know thinking about well who am i going to vote for in the next presidential election uh how am i going to change my local school board's policies not that there's anything wrong with that that's a good thing but i think for Solzhenitsyn, the change is in here, in your mind, in your heart, and rejecting in your own soul, the authority of these people. And just knowing that, you know, these people are, they're bad people and I reject their authority. And to the extent that it's possible, I'm going to defy it. I'm going to, I'm going to speak truth to it. When people ask me something about my opinion on a given topic, I'm going to be forthright and honest, and I'm going to i'm going to speak truth to it when people ask me something about my opinion on a given topic i'm going to be forthright and honest and i'm going to tell them what i think
Starting point is 02:47:29 and the more that we do that uh the more illegitimate the authority of these people becomes and it becomes harder and harder for illegitimate authority or that which is perceived as legitimate illegitimate to to maintain its its hold its hold on power. That's right. That's what I think the long-term strategy ought to be. That's right. The real power is to get us to live by their lies, even though we're, we know they're not true and to keep the truth from us. And so, as you point out, it really is an internal battle. And if we, uh, if we know what the truth is and we're, even if you kind of sold in it,
Starting point is 02:48:04 and said, look, I understand, you know, some of you, if you push back against this and you oppose it, you're going to be kicked out of your home because they own all the homes. You're going to be living on the street. You're going to have no job, no food. And all I understand that. So, you know, if you're going to go along with this, at least don't tell yourself that it's true. Don't live by that lie. Don't internalize that lie, because if you don't internalize that lie, eventually it will come out and it'll eventually rub off on other people even in a very slow process and we've seen this happening uh happening through authoritarian societies but what we don't want to have happen it takes a very long time for that to happen
Starting point is 02:48:38 but we don't want to have happen in this fourth turning uh we don't want to have this new technocracy totalitarian technocracy imposed on us and have to go through 70 years of suffering. It's just going to say that in order to come out on the other side, you know, eventually the next, you know, 70 years from now, the people who are alive will say, all right, that's it. You know, we've seen this thing before. Uh, we're not going to have this anymore.
Starting point is 02:48:59 We don't want to go through that and we will go through it if we don't do something in the next five or six years. Absolutely. Right. And it's really about the about what is happening yeah one thing that i like to do or rather that i think it's imperative to do i'm very um i'm very committed to deconstructing language that's used into not letting things pass a good example of it is this term fast to describe these ev chargers they're they're the opposite of fast. You know, they're using this verbiage to try to get people to accept something that is a diminution of what they have been able
Starting point is 02:49:33 to take for granted for so many years. What's fast is being able to pull your vehicle up to a pump and put a full tank of gas in that thing in three minutes. It's not fast to have to sit at an EV charger for 45 minutes to an hour to get a partial charge. Yeah, that's right. And it's really important to point that out. And of course, you know, if you, uh, if you speed it up, the more you speed it up, the faster your battery is going to die. I even had a more likelihood.
Starting point is 02:50:00 Is it going to be a fire too? Yeah. I even had a listener who is a an engineer uh worked for ford for many years because there's even been discussions about uh you know tracking that internally you know whether the car is being fast charged or trickle charged or whatever and um uh and and and recording that and saying you know if you do x number of fast charges we're going to uh you know reduce your warranty or void your warranty or something like that maybe you have those types of discussions.
Starting point is 02:50:26 And so maybe they play games with words, Eric. So maybe what they mean by fast is the kind of fast where you don't eat anything. They starve you of energy and time. I did an article the other day about the closing of a loophole. I always put that in air fingers a loophole you know by which is they're implying that any any action that you take to avoid uh the government controlling you and sticking his hands in your pocket you're taking advantage of loopholes you're getting away with things you know it's it's just vicious vicious
Starting point is 02:51:03 etymological warfare that they're waging on people to do that. You know, and the loophole in this case, of course, was the state of Vermont would let people who didn't live in Vermont get licenses or license plates and register their vehicles, which enabled people in other states to avoid, you know, usurious personal property taxes on vehicles, for example, or to keep a non running or a vehicle that you're working on a classic car. In some states, you're not allowed to have on your property, a vehicle that isn't currently licensed and registered, in which case it has to be insured, it has to pass inspection,
Starting point is 02:51:40 they will come and seize it, they will take it off your property. So a lot of people in the classic car hobby in particular would, you know, uh, mail in for a set of tags and registration from Vermont so that they comply technically with the law. You know, they're, they're not doing anything that's quote unquote illegal, but it still characterizes a loophole. And now that loophole has sadly been closed. I've got an article on the site. If anybody's interested in reading more about that.
Starting point is 02:52:04 Oh yeah. I didn't say, I didn't even know about that loophole. That would have been great because it's not just the many cases that you, uh, circumstances that you just talked about there, but I've also found that you're less likely, uh, unless you're living somewhere where there's a bunch of tourists, you know, like where we are or in Florida, you know, they don't, they don't worry about giving tourists tickets. I'd like to do that. But you know, if you're somewhere else, I've, I've found, um, if, uh, you got an out-of-state license plate, they don't hit you for a lot of the little tiny stuff. Right. And so even having an out-of-state license from Vermont would, um, help you get out of
Starting point is 02:52:38 some nuisance types of harassment tickets that you might get if they think that you're one of their subjects in that particular state well the really there's another aspect of this that you might find interesting which is tragic uh my i put them in air fingers quotes my colleagues in the car press are responsible for the closing of this loophole because they wrote a number of articles uh just moaning about the fact that people could get away with getting tags and registering their vehicles in Vermont to get away with not paying personal property taxes, not complying with all of the various UKZs that exist in all of these other states. So as a result of that publicity, the state of Vermont has decided to change their policy and now you have to be a resident of Vermont or you have to
Starting point is 02:53:25 get a document from your state's DMV that says they're okay with you getting your tags and registration in Vermont which of course no state. Wow you know that you talk about the automotive press and what sellouts they've become and we see this happening with mainstream media you know we got to censor more you're not censoringoring enough. You know, take this person down. You had people like Oliver Darcy at CNN and, you know, point the finger at people and say, censor this guy. You know, shut him down. But that's what it's become. You've got these journalists who don't like free speech.
Starting point is 02:53:57 They don't like independent thought. And they like an authoritarian government. And they're always cheerleading for the government to shut people down. You see the same thing in the automotive press. look at i don't even look at any of the other sites anywhere i go to your site look at what you're talking about with cars because you're talking about real cars they talk about uh you know these hyper cars that cost several million dollars uh they they cheerlead for everything that is uh that the government wants in terms of electric vehicles and total surveillance and
Starting point is 02:54:25 control of your vehicle. They have become completely captive to the government agenda. It's really disgusting. So I love your site, epautos.com, because people can go there, they can get real reviews of real cars that are out there. And also the analysis of what is happening to our freedom, because mobility is a big part of freedom. The two things are very intricately linked and you get that. These other people don't. It's amazing to see that. You got an article before we run out of time. Tell us a little bit about the Challenger Black Ghost.
Starting point is 02:54:59 Because I saw a picture of it. It was really a nice looking Challenger. One of the nicest looking ones I've seen. Tell us a little bit about that car and what has happened to it. Well, it's the last hurrah. You know, as you probably know, the Challenger and its sister vehicle, the four-door Charger, as well as the Chrysler 300, are being forced off the market. Sorry, I was telling Travis to pull it up.
Starting point is 02:55:19 They're being forced off the market. So they're trying to go out with a bang. And this is a pretty big bang the black ghost is a limited edition limited edition version of the challenger it has an 807 horsepower supercharged v8 uh it's i was privileged to get it get my hands on this thing and drive it for a week wow and it was it was it was a very bittersweet thing for me because you know i remembered reading when i was a kid and this is back in the 70s i read an article and it was called it shall not pass this way again and it was a kind of an
Starting point is 02:55:50 encomium to the very last of the big engine pontiac transams which you'll probably remember in 1979 that was the last year that pontiac was was able to offer the 400 cubic inch big V8 in that car, which had been effectively forced off the road by the same sorts of things that are forcing cars like the Challenger off the road. So I just wistfully remembered that article that I read when I was probably 12 or 13 years old and thought, here I am. Now I'm in the position of being able to get my hands on what is going to be the last of the line. We'll never see these things again. It shall not pass this way again. And it's just very sad. You know, I, I, I saw your article there and I read it and I didn't realize that, um, the Pontiac, um, Trans Am had a bigger engine than the Corvette did at the time. I thought that was same corporation running this stuff, you know, and the Corvettes like like supposedly their flagship sports car but the trans am had the bigger engine in it
Starting point is 02:56:48 i didn't realize that well and that's one of the reasons why that car was just about the most popular car of its type back in the 70s because it was special it was something different and it's the same thing today the challenger is extraordinarily popular because there's nothing else like it yeah you know it's a hulking, wonderful car. It's got this gigantic engine. You can get it with the supercharger. The Camaro and Mustang are fine cars, but they're just not the same thing as that. And now Dodge is going to get rid of this car that people love, that they're lining up to buy, that they can't build fast enough to meet demand. They're going to get rid of it in favor of a battery-powered appliance next year to placate the government doesn't that tell us everything you know that's that's esg in
Starting point is 02:57:29 a nutshell there and of course you know it's an appropriate name to call it the black ghost because they're going to ghost these cars uh that's right you know they're they're you know walking dead and and they don't care at all what uh their their people are looking for and they've got one customer that they want to please. And that's the government. And it's the global government that they want to please. That's why you see all this stuff like, um, you know, Bud Light and all the rest of it, they have nothing but contempt for their customers, uh, let alone their
Starting point is 02:57:57 employees, you know, like we're talking about Henry Ford and how he was, well, I want to make sure that my employees can afford this car as well. No, they don't even care if their customers can afford the car or anything else. They've got one organization that they want to please. And it is just amazing because you see so much money that has been sucked into Washington. I was talking about, you know, when, when the Santas, uh, uh, had his report and he had, uh, I think $20 million that he had in donations or something like that over a period of time.
Starting point is 02:58:24 And the same period of time, he got $130 million in a PAC that was supporting him. And so you think about that. That's $150 million. Going back to the 2000 election, Al Gore criticized George W. Bush for all of his combined spending of PACs and everything else was $100 million. And Al Gore said, I only spent $70 million. And here you have just one candidate who is almost there not to knock him i mean that's the what this has happened but when you look at how much money has come into this that's why they've only got one customer that's why you've got esg because they have sucked up everything it's
Starting point is 02:58:57 amazing and a facet of this that's that's uh that speaks to the the degree of the tragedy. This car, this Challenger, 807 horsepower. Think about that. That's a race car. That is 80, 85% of what a Nextel Cup stock car has. I've driven Nextel Cup stock cars. This car has air conditioning. This car is a car you can drive to work every day. This car produces essentially no meaningfully harmful pollution but it produces carbon dioxide that dread inert gas right so think about I mean the engineers have managed to produce this this this work of art really this this amazing thing that that is more powerful than any kind of any car like it that has ever existed that is environmentally innocuous by any objective standard and they shut it down and they shut it down and they shut
Starting point is 02:59:45 it down this is because it's a it wasn't even about the the gas that was just smoke and mirrors you know because as toyota says you know as soon as they say we could do that they say well no we want you to do this thanks for joining us eric always great talking to you epautos.com for freedom and mobility thank Thank you, Eric.
