You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 20th of December, year of our Lord 2022, day 1013 of the lockdown. Except the border is not about to be locked down anymore. Trump locked it down for the COVID narrative is about to bust open. The last minute reprieve from John Roberts. We'll talk about
Starting point is 00:02:07 what's going on with that. We'll also talk about the border that really matters to Washington, the one that's in Ukraine, and the grifting criminals who are living lifestyles of the rich and famous. We've had a lot happen in the last 24 hours. We've had criminal referrals for Trump. We'll talk about if that means anything at all. We've had a poll where Musk says, do you want me to stay as CEO of Twitter? We'll talk about whether or not that means anything as well. So stay with us. We'll be right back. it doesn't matter what we see does it i mean we can see people dropping dead after they get the
Starting point is 00:03:10 vaccine we can see cancer rates heart attack rates strokes all the rest of the stuff we can see it going through the ceiling i don't see anything this is by demonstration you can have tens of thousands of people masked at the board mass and mass at the border waiting to come across they don't see any problem even as newsome in california and the democrat mayor of denver saying it's going to break us we can't handle this well white house claims the border is not open the border is not open the vaccines are not dangerous. They're not trying to start World War III in Ukraine. That's all just a bunch of misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories. The White House argued Monday that the southern border is not open, despite all the pictures that you see.
Starting point is 00:04:00 And what chance do we ever have against these liars when you can show them pictures of thousands of people coming across the border, tens of thousands masked to come across, it doesn't matter. They have the press with them. They have the power to do anything they wish. It'd be very wrong to think that the border is open, says White House Press Secretary Corrine Jean-Pierre. It'd be wrong to think that the border is open. It's not open. I just want to be very, very clear about that. Well, she's clearly lying. Yeah, who are you going to believe, the Biden White House or those pictures?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Earlier in December, 11,000 migrants were reportedly apprehended in one week with another 3,200 escaping. I don't know if they know how many exactly escaped. Do you? I mean, that would be, would be just under 15,000 or just over 14,000, I guess. But, uh, how many actually in a week do they know? Did they see everybody that came across and count them? The White House also reacted to the upcoming lifting of the Title 42 order. It's supposed to happen tomorrow. We'll talk about the last minute filing that happened here. Title 42, says Breitbart, currently allows the U.S. to expel migrants claiming asylum,
Starting point is 00:05:23 requiring them to wait in Mexico while their claims are heard in court. Well, actually, Title 42 is about COVID. Not really, per se, a wait in Mexico thing. This is about COVID. Again, Trump is incapable of acting, as his lawyer Ty Cobb said. He's incapable of acting out of his own perceived self-interest. He perceived it to be in his self-interest to push the COVID lockdowns, not to protect the borders, which is what got him elected with the MAGA crowd.
Starting point is 00:05:59 So, or out of revenge, of course. We'll see what happens with that. Anyway, so it was to protect this COVID narrative. It wasn't to protect the borders. The Biden administration has not tried to appeal a court order to lift Title 42, even though an estimated 50,000 migrants are waiting in Mexico right now to cross into the United States. And, of course, they're not just Mexican.
Starting point is 00:06:22 They're from Central and South America. These are economic refugees who are coming here for all the free stuff that's been promised them. We'll continue to fully enforce our immigration laws in a fair, orderly, and humane manner, she said. Remember DACA? Yeah. Deferred action on childhood arrivals. They don't enforce the immigration laws. A senior advisor won't even say if Biden has visited the border. Keisha Lance Bottoms said she can't speak to why he has or has not gone to the border. Well, we know he hasn't gone to the border. Show us the pictures here.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We got pictures of other people who've gone to the border and waiting at the border. Not Biden. The only border he cares about is in Ukraine. We'll talk about that coming up here. Biden has claimed there are more important things to worry about, you know, like Ukraine. We've got a war to start. World War to start there. Nuclear World War. Several Democrats proved Senator Josh Hawley right at at the weekend he asserted they don't want a southern border and they're executing their plan to completely dissolve it wait a minute wasn't that a conspiracy theory called the north american union uh-huh and wasn't um wasn't nafta part of that yeah and didn't Trump get rid of NAFTA?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, and he put in some things even worse, the USMCA. He had a couple, he sweetened it with a couple of deals with Canadians over US dairy stuff. But as I pointed out at the time, as New American did a long expose about it, many people wrote about it, it was exactly the same as NAFTAfta only worse in terms of a sovereignty issue just window dressing you know we uh we have biden we have trump um they're they both represent the same globalist agenda
Starting point is 00:08:21 they just come to you with different packaging and And that's what USMCA was, different packaging for NAFTA. We have Cloward and Piven, the Democrat economists, said the way that we establish our socialist control, we have to take down the economy. That hasn't worked with our welfare states. We need to expand the welfare state by opening the borders. We can overwhelm it. And now that's exactly what the Democrats are saying.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's going to break us. Yeah, that's good. That's a crisis we can use. And then Nancy Pelosi, of course, said we have a community here. It just happens to have a border running through it. It's no big deal. It's like the border between Tennessee and Kentucky or something. We have just one community,, it's just this little
Starting point is 00:09:06 line, this little political line on the map that's going through it. So, um, since, um, you know, yesterday we had John Roberts temporarily issuing a block on the lifting of title 42, which would use the idea, and think about this, Title 42. If the Trump administration could get something through to protect the borders from COVID, but he couldn't do anything else, he wouldn't do anything else. Now, he's commander-in-chief of the military, as I said from the very beginning in 2017. Okay, he's president.in-chief of the military, as I said from the very beginning in 2017. Okay, he's president. He can't build a wall.
Starting point is 00:09:47 He's got to ask Nancy Pelosi for money to build a wall. He's got to ask Nancy Pelosi for permission to build a wall. You know, Trump had, the Republicans had control of the Senate. It was just Pelosi. And he pretended that he couldn't do anything about it. If the Defense Department is about defending America, they could be used to defend our borders, not just Iraq and Afghanistan and Ukraine. We could defend our borders with the Defense Department. He could have put soldiers there. He could have brought the soldiers home from Iraq and Afghanistan, could have done it in an order could have brought the soldiers home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Could have done it in an orderly way instead of a fire drill like Biden did it eventually. When they were kicked out, Biden didn't end the war in Afghanistan. The Afghans did. That's why it was such a chaotic mess, put it politely. But he could have, in an orderly way, he could have taken care of that. And he could have protected the border as well. But he acted as though he wasn't president. He couldn't get rid of DACA, the executive order from the previous president.
Starting point is 00:10:58 He couldn't do anything. And so now John Roberts temporarily halted Wednesday's planned lifting. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to €10 if your horse loses on a selected race. That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing.

Whether it's communications or security, Innovate has you covered. Visit Innovate today. Innovate, the IT solutions people. Of the Trump era, Title 42 program. I think we should call it not the Trump era. We should call it the Trump error, E-R-R-O-R. After more than a dozen Republican-led states filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court, the Biden administration also wanted more time on this.
Starting point is 00:12:22 This is a no-brainer for John Roberts. Both Republicans and Democrats wanted this put on a hold. The Democrats want it to go through, but they want to get some money in place before it actually goes through. So Roberts gave the Department of Homeland Security until 5 p.m. today to respond to the 19 Republican attorneys general,
Starting point is 00:12:45 and he stayed a federal court ruling from last month that ordered the program to be wrapped up by tomorrow, December the 21st. The Biden administration must now comment because the Biden administration has been ignoring this case as it goes through. Just let it go through on autopilot. Now they're going to have to make a statement Once the administration's response is filed Roberts can deny the state's application on his own Or more likely he will refer the matter to the full court for consideration Title 42 allows border officials to automatically refuse entry to migrants
Starting point is 00:13:21 Illegal aliens Who may have been infected by the deadly virus says the New York post. They may have been infected by this deadly virus. That's a, that's why we've got to have title 42. That's the Trump lockdown protecting the narrative and New York post protecting the COVID narrative. We got to lock down the border under the policy. Law enforcement officials have removed approximately
Starting point is 00:13:45 two and a half million illegal border crossers according to government statistics so you can expect two and a half million to come back in waiting on the other side a three-judge federal Judge Federal Appeals Court on Friday rejected the 19 Republican Attorney General's plea to block the November 15th ruling by U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan. Emmett Sullivan decided that he'd scrap Title 42. Does that name ring a bell, Emmett Sullivan? Well, he was the guy who covered for Hillary Clinton on her email scandals. He was the guy who wrongfully convicted Flynn, presided over that
Starting point is 00:14:34 case. And look, you know that I am not a Flynn cheerleader. I think the guy's a total fraud. He's got a lot of issues. If you go back and you look at his connections to the Turkish government and things like that, he's got a lot of corruption connections. He's now reinvented himself as some kind of a new neo-Christian prophet. It's just disgusting to see this guy and what he does with this Reawaken America tour, whatever they call it. Some guy, Clay Jenkins or something, this guy, this thing, but he's
Starting point is 00:15:12 hanging around with his false prophet, Julie Green, and all the rest of these people feeding out all of this, you know, MAGA ideas about, you know, Trump is the anointed choice, chosen one. And if he's the chosen one, he's the antichrist. It's a, but, uh, you know, look, I, I'm not a, I'm not a fan of Flynn at all. I have no use for the man. I think he's a corrupt grifting politician and worse, he is a satanic deceiver. However, he was wrongfully convicted by Emmett Sullivan. And he was railroaded in that whole thing at the beginning. So, you know, you got to say that.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You know, he'll stand before the judge one day, but that judge was not the one that renders a just verdict. Emmett Sullivan. Highly political. The Biden administration had asked Sullivan for a five-week extension of the program last month on the grounds that it needed time to prepare for an expected wave of new arrivals. They filed their own appeal on Sullivan's ruling December the 7th, but they promptly asked for it to be suspended while awaiting a ruling on a separate Title 42 case out of Louisiana while the CDC crafts a replacement policy. See, this is not about the borders. And that's what Breitbart and the rest of the people are missing.
Starting point is 00:16:36 This truly is. The whole thing was put in not to protect the border. This is not Trump. This is the way Breitbart and the conservative media are presenting this. Look at this. Trump did his best to protect the border. And now with Biden in there, the border is just going to go wide open. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:55 No, that's not the case. Trump did nothing. This is all about the CDC. And this is about the false pandemic that Trump pushed in every way possible. I just keep that in mind when this is happening. Yes. It's going to be a horrific policy.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yes. It's going to damage us severely. That's what it was designed to do. That's what Trump's policies were designed to do as well. All of the COVID policies were designed to destroy the middle class. And so is this open border thing. It's designed to destroy America. Just like the open borders in Europe are designed to destroy Europe.
Starting point is 00:17:33 This is the barbarians at the gate. If you're going to, you want to destroy the family, the culture, the society, everything. What you do is you swamp it with a massive number of people who have a different culture. You want to erase a nation? Well, that's the way you do it. You erase the border, you erase the culture. And you erase the religion, all the rest of this stuff,
Starting point is 00:17:58 which is, for many people, that's just a cultural thing. So the New York Times is writing op-ed pieces about the Supreme Court, saying it's an imperial Supreme Court. It is asserting its power. It's alarming scholars. No, it's just that the left is upset because, for once, they're not getting a rubber stamp on everything that they want. The Supreme Court has been good in some areas. Again, if you look at this situation
Starting point is 00:18:27 with Dobbs overturning Roe v. Wade, they overturned it on the basis of the 10th Amendment. There was never any authority for the federal government to define life. But you see, the liberals in the New York Times don't have a problem when the Supreme Court does define life, as they did in Roe v. Wade. They don't have a problem when they define Wade. They don't have a problem when they define marriage. They don't have a problem when the Supreme Court adds rights or takes rights away, invents rights that don't exist. Seriously, when you talk about abortion, the right to privacy and choice, these people, how dare them cynically talk about the fact that they support privacy
Starting point is 00:19:08 they don't want you to have any privacy over anything and they don't support any choice other than killing a child they've made that abundantly clear in the last few years they support the police state in every instantiation and they support the idea they're going to dictate to you what you put in your body. So, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:31 they loved it when Twitter was censoring for them. Now they hate the fact that Elon Musk has removed some of that stuff and now is censoring some of them. So these New York times reporters, that's all they care about. This is just tribalism. Anyway, the reason they're writing this on the New York Times is because you've got a professor at Stanford
Starting point is 00:19:54 who got an article published in the Harvard Law Review, Mark Limley. His article was the Imperial Supreme Court. He says the court has not been favoring one branch of government over another or favoring states over the federal government or the rights of the people over governments. He said rather it is withdrawing power from all of them at once. Well, I strongly disagree with him. You don't need a law degree to see what's happening. Everything is being subsumed into the federal government. When was the last time you heard somebody say, don't make a federal case out of it? Everything is a federal case.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And conservatives have bought into this idea that all of our problems need to be solved in Washington. And even more specifically, by having somebody, namely Trump, in the Oval Office. Or at least another Republican. Oh, which Republican do you want in the White House to solve all of our problems? That's what I keep hearing from all these people. It's like, are you kidding me? It's a much bigger problem than that the reason that everything
Starting point is 00:21:07 is being pushed into washington is because we demand it both the liberal tribe and the conservative tribe want everything fixed at the top according to the way they would like to see the world remade they both want a dictator They just want their dictator in charge in Washington to fix everything. And so this really is not a branch of government that is sucking up all, oh, yeah, they want the power. They want the power. But we want to give it to them as well. It's not just a pull.
Starting point is 00:21:44 It's also a push to put everything in the federal government. And it's not all going into the Supreme Court. It's going to the Supreme Court, and it's going to the executive branch. The interesting thing about it is that everything, as everything is being centralized, all the control, all the policy, all the power into Washington because the American people want it that way and because the people in Washington definitely want it that way. The only surprise about all of this is what's going on with the Congress
Starting point is 00:22:15 because the Congress is abdicating power left and right to the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy under the control of the executive branch. You see, when Trump did gun control by executive order, he had his ATF that was under him, under his power. He had them write the specifics of it. He didn't have Congress go out there and write a law to overrule the Constitution on the Second Amendment. He had a bureaucracy under him doing it at his direction. And so it's not the Supreme Court that is to be feared so much as it is
Starting point is 00:22:59 the executive branch, and I'll tell you why. In this article from the New York Times, they quote Justice Alina Kagan, who said in a dissent from a decision in June that limited the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA, limited their ability to control the economy in the name of climate change. She said, the court has appointed itself, instead of Congress or the expert agency,
Starting point is 00:23:32 to be the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening. Well, Congress has abdicated this to the experts in the executive branch. And that has been the trend. And the only thing that the Supreme Court, what is getting the liberals upset about this, what's getting Lena Kagan upset about this and the New York Times, is that the conservatives in the Supreme Court have been saying,
Starting point is 00:24:06 we don't have that authority and the bureaucracy doesn't have that authority. Maybe Washington doesn't have that authority. That's what they're upset about. But understand that both the Supreme Court and the executive branch are acting as dictators. I've talked for the longest time about judicial supremacy. That is running through the entire branch, and many times the president will defer to the Supreme Court, but he'll also defer to the expert agencies, to the bureaucracy.
Starting point is 00:24:39 That is ultimately, those are the two groups that are really making the decisions. And we see both presidents letting the bureaucracies run loose. And so you have the bureaucracies, which are unelected and unaccountable, and the Supreme Court justices that are unelected and unaccountable. And they're running everything in Washington. And we think the elections matter. They don't matter. They don't matter.
Starting point is 00:25:09 The Congress doesn't matter. And Trump doesn't matter. Ultimately, we've got to do it here because they're against us. And because of these power structures that I just put there. But they have rigged this whole election thing. It's such a clown process. It is so corrupt. And Trump added the new wrinkle

Discover how life's winners live, love, and spend their fortunes. Enter their dazzling world of luxury on privileged tours of the fantasy palaces they call home you know let's talk about the fantasy palaces that the zelenskis call home
Starting point is 00:27:56 and their fantasy shopping trips the lifestyles of the rich and famous you know zelenski's wife was in paris and uh she was for more money, and she got it. Over a billion dollars. You know, just to help with the extreme austerity that the people in Ukraine are suffering. And they are, at the hands of this corrupt dictator. And so, you know, while you're in Paris, I mean, you've got to pick up a few things, right? Fashion and stuff. and so you know while you're in paris i mean you got to pick up a few things right uh fashion and stuff so she goes to a store and she spent 40 000 euros per hour at the store the zolinski
Starting point is 00:28:34 mrs zolinski and she's in paris begging for more money a 40 000 euro shopping spree. That's more than $40,000. Asking for money to make it through the winter. You know, she's got to get a new fur coat and stuff. Ukraine had obtained another $1.1 billion in emergency aid. Zelensky said Ukraine needed assistance worth around 800 million euros in the short term for its battered energy sector. His wife joined Ukrainians in asking for money in Paris for the past few days. Then a reliable store clerk, as the media is referring to this anonymous person,
Starting point is 00:29:18 working at a very elite store, the Avenue Montaigne. I don't know how to pronounce it. I'm not. Yeah, it's like French. They've got like a different word for everything, you know. And they love to throw in extra letters just to confuse you, you know, put a P on the end. And we want to say Renault and Pujot or whatever. It's like, it's Renault and Pujot.
Starting point is 00:29:47 So I'm not going to guess at at the shouldn't have even tried anyway they reported that ms zelinski went on a christmas shopping spree spending 40 000 euros per hour but um if we go back and we look at when Zelensky was first elected, there was an interesting kind of quasi-investigation report from Reuters at the time. Let's go back to 2019. Zelensky is elected on a campaign of peace. Yeah, campaign of peace. And he got support all the way across Ukraine because Ukraine had been at war for five years since the, since NATO and the Democrats had engineered a coup.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Uh, they'd been at war with the people who were trying to assert their right to self governance, bombing civilians and that type of thing for five years. And people were sick of it obviously and so people in both ukraine as well as the areas that were under attack by the ukrainian government for daring to secede from them voted for the peace candidate zielinski and then as he takes office reuters has got some questions the wife of the Ukrainian president got a penthouse bargain from a tycoon they said she got a great deal on a penthouse and this is the way uh Reuters in 2019 described political newcomer Zelensky. Zelensky, a comedian and TV star with no political experience, won the April 21st
Starting point is 00:31:28 presidential election after campaigning as someone who stands apart from the wealthy elite that dominates Ukrainian business and politics. He was going to be a man of the people. He was not going to be an elitist. He was going to bring peace to Ukraine that had been at war with itself for five years. But the deal over the apartment in the upmarket emperor complex on the Black Sea coast indicates the Zelensky family has benefited from a transaction with a member of that same wealthy elite. Reuters was unable to establish why the apartment was sold at below market prices. Neither Zelensky nor his wife responded to requests for comment submitted via his campaign team and via companies that he owns. Zelensky's wife bought the three-room penthouse apartment in Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula for $163,000 in April 2013. Now, this is a luxury apartment.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I know that this is below what the average price is in the U.S., but this is the price of their real estate. And if you look at it, it's a very nice penthouse. It is an apartment. It's not a full house. Six years earlier, she had bought this, April of 2013. According to the Declaration of Income and Assets filed this year by her husband
Starting point is 00:32:47 and the Ukrainian Property Register. Now, the interesting thing about it was that that's a fraction of what the listing prices were. Reuters went back and looked at what the price of real estate was at that time, and they said at that time, the price of an apartment in that emperor complex would range between $3,500 and 4,000 per square meter,
Starting point is 00:33:12 not square foot, square meter. And she paid 1200. So it's normally it would go price per square meter, 3,500 to 4,000. She paid $1,200. A second listing in that same building, published about the time she bought the house, had a minimum price as $2,800 per square meter. She got it for $1,200. A Crimean real estate agent said these properties sold for between 2,500 and 3,000 per square meter,
Starting point is 00:33:45 but could go up to 5,000. She got it for 1,200. So the person she bought it from is a former member of the Ukrainian parliament. His brother, Sergei, was a controlling shareholder and Ukrainian lender, Brock business bank. It's funny because the way they spoke is like Brock business bank, but they spell business as B I Z N E S. I mean, it's people spell like hillbilly, right? I could laugh at them. Like the French laugh at us pronouncing their words.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Anyway, the unnamed former Brock business bank executives are under criminal investigation on suspicion that they embezzled money from the bank. And so this is the guy, you know, the, the bank that is under investigation for these types of things is the guy that cut her the deal. A truck driver,
Starting point is 00:34:40 Ron, thank you very much for the donation on rock fan. Merry Christmas. I'd like to see you playing the saxophone at the end of your show. So we do a bill Clinton. I haven't had, I haven't played a sax since I graduated from college. Um, and, uh, so I don't even have one and I would hate to think what that
Starting point is 00:34:59 would cost today. I mean, the saxes that I had back at that time cost, uh, you know, a couple of grand. Um, so anyway, uh, what they would cost today. I mean, the saxes that I had back at that time cost a couple of grand. So anyway, I don't know what they would cost today. Her apartment was listed for sale at a price of $790,000, more than four times what she bought it for, and higher than any of these other estimates here.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And then, of course, last year, do you remember something called the Pandora Papers last year? October 2021, you had people in the UK. Now, of course, this is before anybody really paid much attention to Zelensky before he became an international celebrity, speaking at every award ceremony everywhere. And in October of 2021, remember uh all this stuff with Russia started what was it end of February beginning of March if I remember correctly I don't remember but it was so this is October like four or five months earlier and the Pandora Papers had come out and it had shown Ukrainian politicians featuring very prominently in these papers documenting corruption, but especially Zelensky. And so you had a lot of people in the UK, Ukrainian activists who are
Starting point is 00:36:18 living in the UK, showed up to protest. They showed up at one of the places that Zelensky owned. They said the recent Pandora Papers revealed Zelensky was involved with money laundering of Kolomoisky's private bank funds that helped to buy him an apartment in London. This is not the Crimean one. This is now an apartment in London. This is not the Crimean one. This is now an apartment in London. They said, and there can be more of them that are still undeclared, said one of the protesters who organized the event.
Starting point is 00:36:54 He added that corruption in Ukraine is reaching new heights with Zelensky, showing that he's not fighting it, but taking part in corrupt schemes. Now, this is a protest. This is about four to six months before all of this stuff, right? First, they loot you seven ways to Sunday, and then when you find out about it, you get angry about it, they take you to war, right?
Starting point is 00:37:17 And then they make even more money while you lose everything, including perhaps your life. Let Zelensky take responsibility for his actions before the people of Ukraine. Let him return the money to Ukraine. He could sell his apartment or a few of them. He's got apartments all over the world. He must declare it, they said. The protesters in the UK, October 2021, held signs, Zelensky is corrupt. Sell your apartment, return the money.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Now his wife is going hat in hand, getting a billion dollars for the country. And yeah, they could use it because Zelensky's destroyed them, and that was the plan. The Arestovich who worked for him said in 2019 yeah um no the war's not going to stop he told the ukrainian report she's like what well you know surprised because they had campaigned on a platform of peace no war is not going to stop in three years we'll be at war with russia 2022 and uh she goes that's horrible he goes no it's good he says the entire country will be destroyed but we'll get into nato that's horrible. He goes, no, it's good. He says, the entire country will be destroyed, but we'll get into NATO.
Starting point is 00:38:26 That's how corrupt they are. Reports reveal Zelensky-affiliated businesses used offshore schemes in 2012 to 2019 to dodge paying taxes in Ukraine. Now they don't have to do that anymore, right? That was just the buildup period before he became president. Now that he's president, he doesn't have to put it offshore. He can hide all of his stolen money there in Ukraine. Are we going to audit any of the over $100 billion we're going to send to him in just the first nine months of this disaster? No, no. Pentagon says we can't do that. Uh, state department says we
Starting point is 00:39:02 can't do that. We don't know where the weapons went. We don't know where the money went. Well, look at the Pandora Papers, and you can pretty much guess where the money's going. Into his pockets. Offshore companies connected to Zelensky and his business partners now own three properties in London worth $7.5 million. A $2.1 million apartment in an Edwardian mansion in Regents Park, another $3 million flat in nearby Baker Street opposite the Sherlock Holmes Museum. I've been there.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Not to his apartment, to the museum. Anyway, Ukraine features prominently in the Pandora Papers investigation with almost 40 Ukrainians named among politicians and businessmen from dozens of countries who used offshore companies for questionable deals and property acquisitions. So that was October of last year. September of this year, just a couple of months ago, you may remember this. There was a big brouhaha in the media because there were accusations that Zelensky had rented his luxury villa in Italy. Now, we talked about Crimea, London. Now, this is the one in Italy. Who knows how many he's got, right?
Starting point is 00:40:17 The people, the protesters in Ukraine said he's got them stashed all over the place. Well, the one that he had in Italy, a luxury property, 15 rooms in a pool, it rented for 50,000 euros. Now, that wasn't what they had a problem with in the press. You know what they had a problem with in the press? Not the fact that this guy has, you know, where did he get all this money? I mean, it's like Obama.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Obama's a community organizer. Where did he get, how did he become somebody's, you know, nearly did he get all this money? I mean, it's like Obama. Obama is a community organizer. Where did he get? How did he become somebody who's, you know, nearly a billion dollars net worth? How did Zelensky get all this money? Why is his name all over the Pandora papers? And he's like, no, none of that. He rented it to the Russians. And they said, well, they weren't Russians.
Starting point is 00:41:01 And other people said, but we heard them speaking Russian. And yeah, that was what it was about. This is like Hillary Clinton's emails. You know, I have all this stuff that's classified above top secret. I put them on a domain name, says hillaryclintonemails.com, so that, you know, people can send me contributions and they just go get the stuff that they need right off of there. That wasn't the problem.
Starting point is 00:41:25 No, no, no. The problem was who told everybody about it? Was that Julian Assange or was it the Russians? I think it was the Russians who did it. But let's kill Julian Assange anyway, right? At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

Let's kill Seth Rich and then we'll kill Julian Assange. Oh, but it's the Russians. Let's not pay attention to this villa. And oh, by the way, at the time, as I pointed out, this Zelensky villa that they were concerned that they'd rented it to Russians, it was owned by a shell
Starting point is 00:42:57 corporation that was based out of another country that was owned by his wife. Yeah. Why would he do that? Unless he's trying to hide stuff, right? Uh, Zelinsky's here's another one. Uh,
Starting point is 00:43:14 Zelinsky's parents have bought an $8 million property in Israel and were able to obtain Israeli citizenship, evidently for a price, right? $8 million villa in Israel. There's another one. And, and two Lexus bulletproof cars. I mean, you are going to get a bulletproof car.
Starting point is 00:43:34 You don't want to get an economy model, right? It's a small town where Jewish rich people from Eastern Europe gather. Rishpin, Israel. And so his parents are there. I think his dad was formerly an actor who didn't have a lot of money, but they're making sure that the Ukrainians don't have a lot of money. So these guys, you know, this is the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Multi-million dollar villas here, there, and everywhere.
Starting point is 00:44:03 You cover it up with offshore corporations with shell corporations outside the country shell corporations that are in the name of your wife but there's some things they don't have to cover up for instance you can have a uh the war party the war party in Washington, D.C. And what I mean by that is the defense contractors, the military industrial complex, the war party. Four major defense contractors sue a party for the Zelenskys. And the Ukrainians actually put their names on the invitations as the sponsors. And they posed for pictures with Millie, General Millie,
Starting point is 00:44:53 and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Millie, in attendance. The invitation said the event was supported by Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, the employer of Austin. Austin had been at Raytheon so long they had to go back and change the rules to bring him back into the government as Secretary of Defense. Because there are rules that if you've been out of the military for longer than X amount of time, you couldn't come back in in that capacity. He's been working for Raytheon all that time, so they changed the rules for him. So Northrop, Grumman, Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, Lockheed Martin, their logos emblazoned on the invitation, reportedly prompting some observers to, quote,
Starting point is 00:45:40 laugh out loud. A think tank expert told Vox. It's really bizarre to me. That they would put that on an invitation. The fact that they don't feel sheepish about it. That's what's interesting. It's just the corruption. It's like what you going to do about it? Yeah. Burisma.
Starting point is 00:46:01 You know. Whatever. I mean you know. You going to do anything about it?'re going to do anything about it? You're going to do anything about Hunter? You're going to do anything about Biden? You're not going to do anything about this. They know it.
Starting point is 00:46:12 It's just in-your-face corruption. That's how bad it's gotten. We look at that combined with the borders. I mean, are we a collapsing empire or what? There's absolutely no way that you can look at what's happening right now and not see that America is under economic, political, societal collapse in every way. Moral collapse, financial collapse, collapse of borders, rampant corruption in your face. So the report that this has happened on Saturday celebration was hosted by the
Starting point is 00:46:48 Ukrainian embassy took place in downtown DC at the Ronald Reagan building, less than a mile from the white house with the chair of the joint chiefs of staff and attendance sponsored by the war party. It's a war Christmas party, isn't it? So this person who is a think tank expert said, the explicit sponsorship indicates how intimate major military contractors have become with Ukraine and how much they stand to gain from this war.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Why is it that we're surprised stand to gain from this war. Why is it that we're surprised when the pharmaceutical industry makes tens of billions of dollars killing people? Um, you had, uh, I think it was nine new billionaires created out of Trump's warp speed program. The military industrial complex have been making tens of billions of dollars killing people, starting unnecessary wars. Not just to defend this country. Defending this country would be legitimate,
Starting point is 00:47:54 but that's not how they're using the military industrial complex. That's not why they've got wars like this one. It's not to defend us. It's not to defend the lives of Ukrainians. They're using the Ukrainians. The military industrial complex in America, all these, I saw somebody yesterday in a car driving along,
Starting point is 00:48:15 had the whole back of the car covered up, pray for Ukraine. It's like, yeah, what are you going to pray? That God removes Zelensky and ends this war? Is that what you're going to be praying for? Are you going to pray for victory or whatever? What are you going to pray for? The invitation is a clear expression of how the war in Ukraine has been good for business. As Ukraine fights a defensive war, they said, against Russia's brutal invasion,
Starting point is 00:48:42 Ukrainians in Washington have been pushing for the U.S. to send Ukraine more weapons. So far, Biden's administration has committed a substantial $20 billion of military assistance since February. And they're going to ramp it up to over $100 billion. And as I said, if you look, I started to look at that, you know, $100 billion, and we're talking about only nine months, except for 2021. If you take that, if that's $100 billion for three quarters,
Starting point is 00:49:13 you're going to wind up giving them about a little bit more than their gross domestic product. I don't know what they're going to give them in the next quarter, but their gross domestic product was $150 billion for about five years before 2021. And then all of a sudden, in 2021, it jumped up to $200 billion. And I said, yeah, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Why didn't we hear about the economic miracle in Ukraine? I mean, there had to have been some kind of an economic miracle in 2021. Remember, none of this stuff happened until the end of February or March or whenever it was. I mean, you're still three months into the first quarter of 2022 when this stuff kicked off. So why in the year before that happened, did you see Ukraine's gross domestic product jump by a third? It's an economic miracle, isn't it? Why isn't everybody talking about that?
Starting point is 00:50:08 We all need to be doing what Ukraine was doing. Jumping by a third. Well, you know, they were front-loading this, buying off all the politicians or whatever they need to betray their people and to use them as cannon fodder. The Ukrainian embassy was not shy about publicizing the event. On their Facebook page, they posted photos from the event, including one of Millie.
Starting point is 00:50:33 What a joke that guy is. Bernie Sanders' advisors told Vox, who reported on this, the defense contractor sponsoring a party for Ukrainian forces is a bad look. That's it. That's what you get from Bernie Sandler Sanders and Bernie Sandles is probably probably a sandal wearing liberal in his earlier days. It's a little bit cold for sandals up in Vermont, but Bernie Sandles,
Starting point is 00:50:58 I think anyway, it's a bad look. It's not just a bad look. It's bad. It's bad. It is bad. A bad look. Give me a break. That's the best that, uh, the liberals can come up with, by the way, with all of this stuff, Ukraine was very upset that they were rejected out of hand by FIFA. When Zelensky requested to address the World Cup final. His message was going to be one of quote-unquote world peace. He wants world war.
Starting point is 00:51:33 He's made it clear. He wants a world war, a nuclear world war. And this fraud, this grifting, corrupt criminal demands that he be given an audience at the World Cup. He's inserted himself into every kind of event so far successfully. He's at the Grammys. He's at the Cannes Film Festival. He's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I think he's at the Golden Globes, whatever. We thought that FIFA wanted to use its platform for the greater good, to unwind the Ukrainians when this corrupt guy was not invited. So, yeah, he just wants world peace, right? And yet he has openly called for a nuclear war. He's done everything he can to draw us into a broader war. Ukraine attempted a decapitation strike of Russia's top general. As the U.S. said, they tried to stop it.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Now, it sounds to me like he's doing exactly what the CIA wants him to do. That's exactly what they do. It reportedly happened in late April. They said the generals had made a deadly mistake, the Russian generals. A lot of them died, right? They positioned themselves near antennas and communication arrays, making them easy to find, said the Americans. The New York Times describes it further. They said this allowed U.S. intelligence to begin identifying top commanders' whereabouts on the Ukrainian battlefield. Then they gave that
Starting point is 00:53:00 information to Ukraine. The U.S. apparently knew of the secret trip in real time of this guy this guy that they're talking about is essentially uh the equivalent of mark milley it was just at that war party you know chair of the joint chiefs of staff that's his equivalent position in russia so they apparently knew the secret trip in real time leading to a dilemma of whether or not to share the information with the Ukrainians. But the time sources said Washington decided they would not share that information. They kept the information from the Ukrainians worried that they would
Starting point is 00:53:37 strike, but the Ukrainians learned of the general's plans anyway. How did they do that? They were given that information by the Americans. They're doing everything they can to start a world war. These corrupt grifting officials. Truck driver Ron, thank you for the tip. He says, oh, well, I tried.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Music is good for the soul. Playing helps me relax sometimes. Bill, have a coffee. Well, I'm not really sure what that, that was a conversation between a couple, but thank you for the tip anyway. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

Starting point is 00:56:21 ron and by the way travis is back, and good to have you back. His brother did an excellent job while he was gone. Howdy, folks. Good to be back. Yes, yes. And I wanted to thank his brother, who will remain anonymous, the Whistler. I wanted to thank him yesterday, but I forgot to do it. So thank him on air.
Starting point is 00:56:40 He did an excellent job while Travis was gone, but it's good to have Travis back. Let's talk a little bit about Elon Musk and his poll. He decided that he would put out a poll, ask people if he should step down as head of Twitter. He's been doing this on and off. You know, should I bring back everybody? Yes or no. The voice of the people is the voice of God. You know, Vox Populi, Vox Dei is what he was saying.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I'm going to do what you guys want to do. I'm all about democracy and free speech. You believe that? Anyway, so as Chris Minahan on Information Liberation says, I don't know if the poll is getting botted or what, but I do know that pretty much everybody agrees that the new policy that he rolled out, banning links and accounts that are promoting alternative social media platforms,
Starting point is 00:57:31 is supremely idiotic. And that policy was put out by Twitter support. It said, we recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter. Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms. Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribal, Noster, and Post. I don't even know those last three. I haven't heard of them.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Anyway, I don't know when they're ever going to change, if they ever are going to change their policy of lying to people that BitChute is a dangerous site. You're going to go there, you're going to catch COVID and die or something. Wear a mask if you go to BitChute. You know, they put up this warning every time I share a video from BitChute. And down in the corner, really, really small, most people ask me, they say, it blocks me. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:58:35 If you look, really, really small, most people don't see it. It's designed that way. Designed to scare you, to intimidate you, and to hide the fact that you can proceed and follow the link. They've been doing that to bit shoot for quite some time. That's the old regime. As far as I can tell, the new regime has not changed any of that stuff. So if you were to put up something like follow me at username on Instagram or some other
Starting point is 00:59:00 place like that, then they would take a strike against your account. So he reversed course on that in less than 24 hours and apologized. And he said, sorry, won't do it again unless, you know, I'm not going to do any major policy statements without putting up a poll and asking people. So then the next thing he does is put up a poll asking people if he should step down as CEO. 57% say yes. So now the question is going to be, is he, is he just going to walk away from his 44 million, 45 million? I don't know what it was investment because you know, the voice of the people is the voice of God. And of course, as we pointed out,
Starting point is 00:59:48 um, that was, um, uh, quote, uh, that that phrase was coined to talk about the folly of following crowds. Elon Musk did not become the world's richest man. Now the second world's, uh, now the second richest man in the world. He did not become that wealthy by following the voice of the people. The way he became that wealthy was by catering to the voices of governments who think they're God. By doing everything they wanted in terms of the climate agenda,
Starting point is 01:00:26 getting there first to soak up all of the special green subsidies and to work with the military industrial complex and give them whatever they wanted in terms of satellites or rockets or whatever. That's how he became rich, catering to government whims. I have no expectation whatsoever this guy is authentically for free speech and of course you can see it how he says well I'm you know just I'm it's Roman Emperor thing where he gets out thumbs up or thumbs down you know am I gonna kill
Starting point is 01:01:02 this gladiator or not what am I gonna do when actually you know, am I going to kill this, uh, gladiator or not? What am I going to do when actually, you know, he's just a little emperor, uh, harps, uh, thank you for the tip. He says, welcome back, Travis, show us by Travis cam to prove it. Hope you're doing better mate and your mom, Karen. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for all the people who, uh, uh, said they'd be praying for her with her ankle. And, um, I didn't go on the whole list of all the things that happened to her this week. And she got a tick by that's actually wearing us more than the ankle because it really, uh, swelled up. And, um, you know, Lyme disease is a thing around here. Um, shares of Tesla are now down 35% since Musk began his Twitter venture.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Investors have lost billions. Tesla's market value was $1.1 trillion on April 1st. It was kind of like a PCR test. They magnified this little thing to $1.1 trillion. It was like a PCR test cycle 40. That was the last day before Musk disclosed that he was buying up Twitter shares. Since then, the company has lost 58% of its value.
Starting point is 01:02:10 And he's dropped from the richest man in the world to the second richest man in the world. He attended the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday with Jared Kushner. We got a picture of that in one of the articles a little bit further down. Um, so 17 and a half million responses to this poll that he had, he put it up for only 12 hours, 57 and a half percent of the people said go Musk said he never wanted to be CEO of any company preferring to see himself as an engineer, a societal engineer, I guess, and public banter with Twitter followers on Sunday, Musk expressed pessimism about prospects for a new CEO saying that person quote must like pain a lot, unquote,
Starting point is 01:02:57 to run a company that has quote been in the fast lane to bankruptcy, unquote. No one wants the job. He said who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor, he tweeted. So all that raises questions as to whether or not he's going to step down. Now, because of the poll, Twitter shares jumped by 5% in pre-market trading after that, hoping that he would leave, that he would get back to their company. And, uh, in that article, you can see the picture of him standing there, uh, with, uh, Jared Kushner.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Uh, they're the only two that don't have, uh, Arab dress headdress on there at the, um, uh, so he's there with the Qatari Royals. So he's, he's not hanging out with the, uh, soccer fans. He's hanging out with a Royal family and Jared. And so zero hedge says Elon Musk, perhaps finally fed up with micromanaging Twitter, or maybe just really drunk after partnering, partying with the Royals and Jared was this whole thing, this whole poll. Was that a drunk tweet?
Starting point is 01:04:11 I don't know. He says, uh, going forward, there will be a vote for a major policy changes. My apologies. This will not happen again. As he changed the policy that if you talk about another site, you're going to get kicked off. So, whether or not he was drunk when he sent out the tweet, early Qatari time, the outcome, as some cynics have noted, is unlikely to have any material impact on what happens at Twitter.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Yeah, I don't think it's going to make any difference there either. I don't expect to see him leave. Although some people say, well, I think perhaps this was already his plan. He's looking for a graceful reason to step down. Oh, I'm just following the voice of the people. Maybe he's already got somebody in the wings. We'll have to see. But let's understand that speech is a much bigger problem than Twitter. Much bigger. Twitter is not the source of all this issue, you understand. This is all coming

You give people money, you get them addicted to the money, then you pull it back. You want boys in the girls' bathroom?
Starting point is 01:06:44 Well, you know, they've been getting all this money from title nine programs and everything. And so we're just going to pull that money back from the federal government. So you better do what we say. Trump never did that to stop any of the public health dictatorships, as I've pointed out many times, where they're being done by Democrats or by Republicans. He didn't care. He kept giving them the money, which is approval. And so he just underscored that yet again.
Starting point is 01:07:09 I don't approve of the censorship policies in these universities. You're not going to get any of this money from the federal government that you depend on. And so now you've got Stanford University has got new speech rules, and these are more extensive and even crazier than the Associated Press's speech rules. You know, Associated Press says, you will not talk about people as illegal aliens,
Starting point is 01:07:33 meaning that they did not comply with any legal process to come in the country and they're aliens as in a foreign country, a citizen of a foreign country. No, no, no. You will call them undocumented immigrants and you will refer to the DACA people a citizen of a foreign country. No, no, no. You will call them undocumented immigrants, and you will refer to the DACA people, or instead of using the term anchor baby,
Starting point is 01:07:55 you'll say children of undocumented immigrants, that type of thing. You will not say pro-life. You will say anti-abortion rights. And so now Stanford does them one better. They've got a long list here. The forbidden words that have been put out by Stanford University are under the category of ableism. You will not use the terms insane, lame, crazy, spaz, and tone deaf.
Starting point is 01:08:29 These are all ableist language. You will, under culturally inappropriate, you will no longer use the term brave, which perpetuates the stereotype of the noble, courageous savage. What are they saying, that the savages were not noble and courageous? Equating the indigenous male as being less than a man. Well, I don't think so. They don't even understand that aspect of it. Of course, there's other aspects to brave. How are they going to have their brave new world when they can't use the term brave? Because it is a brave new world.
Starting point is 01:09:07 It is a brave new university. And that's what they're selling you. The brave new world of Aldous Huxley. But now they can't say brave. So it's just a new world, new world order. Tribe. You will not say tribe.
Starting point is 01:09:18 This is historically used to equate indigenous people with savages. It's amazing how appallingly ignorant Stanford University is. The terms tribe have predated the American experience, and it isn't necessarily a pejorative. It's not a pejorative at all. As a matter of fact, I talk about going back to ancient Hebrew Bible, and it's repeated in the New Testament, the Roman times. They're talking about nations, tongues, and tribes. That's the way the Bible refers to people, by tribes. That's a cultural
Starting point is 01:09:58 designation. The way Michael Savage puts it, he says borders, languages, and culture. Well, that's what nations, tongues, and tribes are about. Just another way to put it. You will not use the term guru because in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the word is a sign of respect. Using it casually negates its original value. I don't think it does. This is the other thing.
Starting point is 01:10:24 You know, a lot of these things, guru, brave, and all that. These are terms that don't denigrate in the same way that using, uh, an Indian tribe or something does not denigrate that tribe to use them as
Starting point is 01:10:38 mascots. The Seminoles understood that in Florida, you had these, um, politically correct. Marxist said, well, you had these, um, politically correct. Marxists said, well, we don't want to, we're going to change the mascot name there at the university of Florida state university and the Seminole tribe said, no, we like that.
Starting point is 01:10:55 We like that. Uh, gender based you will no longer use he and she, uh, you will no longer use the terms ladies, landlord, landlady, gentlemen, freshmen, Congressman, woman, you guys. Hey, you know what they didn't mention? Y'all y'all is okay. Use guys that was, uh, you know, Karen and the people from New York then, but you know, we had, we had different term y'all, uh, it lumps a group of people using gender binary language. See y'all. It lumps a group of people using gender binary language.
Starting point is 01:11:27 See, y'all doesn't do that. We didn't know that. We were way ahead of the curve in the South. Seminal. This term reinforces male-dominated language. Transgendered. This term avoids connections that being transgender is something that is done to a person and or that some kind of transition is
Starting point is 01:11:49 required. So you can't talk about somebody transitioning. It's, it's turning in on itself. It's absolutely. Anyway, imprecise language abort. This term can unintentionally raise religious moral concerns over abortion. No longer use the term American American. This term often refers to people from the U S only thereby insinuating that
Starting point is 01:12:17 the U S is the most important country in the Americas, which is actually made up of 42 countries. Um, yeah. Anyway, Karen. Now this is one I'm in favor of. Let's get rid of the term Karen. As I said before, I think we should use the term Gladys in honor of the New South Wales dictator, Gladys Bergiclan. I don't know of anybody who's been more obnoxious, and I think she deserves a title.
Starting point is 01:12:45 I think we should retire the term Karen. I like Karen, and I have a very positive connotation associated with that, and I greatly resent that, and I'm offended by the term Karen. So we need to use Gladys in honor of Gladys Baird-Jickland. Thug. Can't use that. It's got a racist connotationation and the list goes on. Uh,
Starting point is 01:13:07 it's just amazing to see this and look, Oh, two more, two more phrases, killing two birds with one stone. This expression normalizes violence against animals. Long time. No,
Starting point is 01:13:21 see this phrase was originally used to mock indigenous peoples and chinese who spoke pigeon english people pay 78 000 a year as of 2021 and it's been going up rapidly uh it was just a couple years before that it was 75 000 a year so i don't know what it is right now. Tuition in 2021 to go to this insane, to put it in their terms, to go to this insane, lame, crazy, spaz, and tone-deaf university, Stanford, you would pay $78,000 a year, over $300,000 to get your four-year degree. And if you pay that, you deserve
Starting point is 01:14:08 every bit of this. Okay. We're going to be right back. Stay with us. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 You're listening to The David Knight Show. Pay $78,000 to go to Stanford, or pay tens of thousands of dollars to go to these other universities that typically do the same type of thing. Well, four out of 10 college freshmen are choosing their college based on where they can kill their baby. Now, that's probably the females. That's probably, you double that. It's probably like 80% of the females choosing college based on where they can
Starting point is 01:15:46 kill their baby. CNBC says there's an endless list of factors that students consider while choosing a college, the size, the cost, the campus life, and the proximity to home. And now the proximity to an abortion. They said since Dobbs and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortion access has become an increasingly influential consideration in students' college decisions.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Of those planning to enroll in an undergraduate program over the next 12 months, 39% of them said the court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will affect their decision to attend college in a particular state. This is from a survey of 1,000 people by best colleges. And again, as I said, I imagine that is the women. I don't imagine that even enters the mind of the men. So you're looking at doubling that. So exactly what is the purpose of a college to these people?
Starting point is 01:16:51 Brave new schools, if we can call them that. This is where casual sex is a given. And these people are anti-consequences is what they are. They're not supporting abortion rights, as Dave Chappelle said. You are anti-consequences. But we also have the climate extremists out there telling people, your kids are a high-cost luxury and bad for Mother Earth. The climate extremists, that's the headline from Fox News.
Starting point is 01:17:31 What we're talking about here are college professors and academics and intellectuals. They're the ones who are pushing this idea. And this is what is filtering through the colleges. They're telling them that kids are a high cost luxury this is just the latest spin on what Planned Parenthood has used all along to try to encourage people to kill their babies when a poor single mother would come in do you realize how much it's going to cost you to get this kid to raise this child up to the age of 18 it It's going to cost you, and they come up with some fantastic number. Think about feeding a kid every day.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Here it is, as if you've got to pay this all as a lump sum in advance, as if you couldn't get any help from anybody else for this. To get them, well, I don't have half a million dollars. I guess I better kill this baby right now. So a few days ago, Shannon Osaka, a reporter at the Washington Post, she calls herself the climate zeitgeist reporter there, wrote a piece exploring the idea that having children is unethical, as kids are bad for the climate.
Starting point is 01:18:47 She said things like they do too much breathing and living, using resources, causing climate destruction. For those of us lucky to have already been born, that's the way it's paraphrased by this Fox News reporter. But all that is true. You know, the breathing, that's the CO2. And, you know, you're doing things and everything that you do is going to be a carbon imprint and all the rest of this stuff. That's the fear that they're pushing out now.
Starting point is 01:19:08 They've gone from this economic self-interest to you're going to kill the planet. And this is a luxury and you can't afford to do it. You know, you've got to sacrifice your kids on the altar of climate change. And nobody ever asked, including this reporter, show me proof of climate change and nobody ever asked including this reporter show me proof of climate change and show me proof that anything that we're doing that you're demonizing any of these activities are having anything to do with this show me the proof of this because the sub headline of this article and this is why i have a problem with this article. Why do anti-child extremists get luxuries like vacations or car or plane rides while they target parents?
Starting point is 01:19:52 You see, when you take it from this standpoint, you say that, um, vacations, cars, and plane rides are luxuries. You're,
Starting point is 01:20:02 you're talking about the hypocrisy of these people, but you're taking this, this Fox news reporter is taking it from the standpoint that, yeah, you know, these things really are luxuries and we really shouldn't have them. And they really are damaging the environment, but you know, are, are these things damaging the environment more than the kids? And you understand if you take that approach, if we try to say, well, let's, let's figure out how we can navigate within this world that the leftists and the globalists have created for us, let's not challenge their terms.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Let's not challenge their assumptions. Let's not challenge the foundation of all of this stuff. Let's just point out they're hypocrites. No, you're going to kill the planet. Not me. You're going to, you're doing more to destroy the planet. You're taking more plane flights and private plane flights, and you've got more cars and bigger houses and more air conditioning than I do.
Starting point is 01:20:58 You're not going to win the fight that way. If you don't take them on head on, but it is interesting what this so-called bioethicists at Johns Hopkins said, his name is Travis reader. He wrote a 2017 piece that is now being picked up by the Washington post. And then you have the Fox news reporter talking about that. And this, um, bioethicist from Johns Hopkins, the same people who have worked every year on these germ games, going back to dark winter, ending with event two one, actually they they've added now this year, the, uh, the, uh, contagion
Starting point is 01:21:39 one, but, uh, it's always Johns Hopkins. It's always a CIA and it's always people like Fauci that are involved in it. And so this bioethicist from Johns Hopkins says, having a child imposes high emissions on the world while the parents get all the benefits, do they? So like any high cost luxury, we should limit our indulgence,
Starting point is 01:22:03 our indulgence of kids. funny that he would use that word because everything they do in the climate religion is treated as an indulgence where you can pay for your sins in advance or you can you know buy your way out of of your climate hell or whatever right um so you pay their carbon credits and you're allowed to sin. You can then take a plane flight or eat a piece of meat or something. If you pay the carbon tax, you pay the carbon indulgence fee. It is a religion. And he keeps talking about it as an indulgence.
Starting point is 01:22:43 So the Washington Post reporter quotes him says you have a good moral reason to be a part of the solution not a part of the problem even when your part is infinitesimally small so they're making this a moral imperative again it's a religion they have their own morality they have their own priests and priestesses, right? Who are out there making these pronouncements, telling you what you have to sacrifice and all the rest of this stuff. They have a long list of things that you must do in order to be just and to follow their moral order. And you can buy an indulgence from them when you sin. So again, this reporter, a Fox News reporter, says, does he vacation?
Starting point is 01:23:32 Does he ride in a car? Does he ride on a plane? Does he heat or cool his home? Why do we simply accept the idea of fewer children? Again, these are not things that are luxuries to be rationed. And they're acting as if it is. He says, well, if you can have your vacations and car rides and plane rides, why can't I have kids?
Starting point is 01:24:01 Fox News reporter is accepting implicitly the assumption that all these things are bad. And it's why we're losing the war. Because conservatives never question the foundation. They never question the assumptions of the left. They never question the labels. They never say, show me your data. Show me your data. No, don't do it. So why do we accept this climate MacGuffin?
Starting point is 01:24:23 You know, what this fox news reporter is doing is doing a piece on well isn't there a better way to hunt lions in the scottish highlands and you got to say you can't hunt lions in the scottish highlands they don't exist so stop trying to figure out who's these people are arguing over how many permits are going to be given to hunt lions on the Scottish Highlands. And she does say at the very end here, many of the climate predictions have turned out to be wrong. Are you kidding me? Many of them, all of them, lady, all of them have turned out to be wrong. It's this reporter who wrote this story for Fox news works for the New
Starting point is 01:25:09 York post, another, uh, Rupert Murdoch publication. That's why most new predictions are couched in the appropriate could and may language. She says, well, no, they're false prophets. Uh, they've been proven false and they won't show you their data. And so you just have to assume that they're liars who made all this stuff up if they won't show you the data. If they showed you the data, you could take a look at it and go, okay, here's where you made your mistake, intentionally or otherwise.
Starting point is 01:25:43 But if they won't even show you the data, you know that they're just fabricating this stuff. And that's the case with both the climate MacGuffin and the COVID MacGuffin and the vaccine MacGuffin. They hide the data. So we have Iowa parents who have now been charged, accused of drowning their newborn daughter in a bathtub moments after birth. What's the problem with this?
Starting point is 01:26:12 Seriously, what is the problem with this? How do we distinguish between, you know, when we charge somebody, some guy, let's say, shoots a pregnant woman and kills her and the baby and is charged with two counts of murder. Or you have Iowa parents who right after birth drowned their newborn daughter in a bathtub. But if they would have gone to Planned Parenthood, they might have gotten the government to pay for it. And if they had tried to abort the baby and it was unsuccessful, then people like former Governor Ralph Northam, who's a trained doctor, and he's not the only one. It's called comfort care. What they're supposed to do, and they do it to a couple of thousand babies a year,
Starting point is 01:27:09 this happens to, they survive the chemicals, the chemical burning, they survive the dismemberment for a while, and they set them over at a table to die. That's called comfort care. They don't give any comfort or care to the child that they just murdered. And so why is it that these Iowa parents are accused of murder after drowning their newborn
Starting point is 01:27:37 daughter in a bathtub? Is it because they weren't part of an institution? Was it because they didn't have the Murdering American Medical Association behind them? What's their problem? I just don't understand how you draw the line with this. Yes, they did murder. But the systematic and institutional murders are allowed. They are also charged with abuse of corpse.
Starting point is 01:28:07 They can't, they're charging them with first degree murder. That means that they planned to do this after the baby was born in advance. But if you go to an abortion clinic and, you know, that's not first degree murder because you know the the left wants abortion all the way up to the moment of birth and a little bit beyond and so the uh they say well we still haven't found the body and so this is an abusive corpse charge uh what about when fauci and the the National Institute of Health premeditates with Planned Parenthood people and the National Institute of Health says, well, we'd like to have these organs because we're going to make some humanized mice or something else. And they contract with them. And these people, and we know that's what they do,
Starting point is 01:29:07 they are looking for somebody who has a child at a certain stage of maturity and then they are ready to harvest these organs right away. The child is born alive and they take the organs out while the child is alive. That's what they do to prisoners in China as well for these organ donations. I mean, they're talking about, you know, we look, we lose most of these organs because we got to find a way to kill people and keep the organs alive.
Starting point is 01:29:37 You know, they've been talking about how to do that. Well, you know, it's real easy if you're playing parenthood, just have the baby be born alive and then kill them by taking the organs out. And then you send them to Fauci and he uses his experiments, his Mengele Frankenstein experiments to create humanized mice. And that's all okay. That's not an abuse of corpse. That's not premeditated murder, but it is.
Starting point is 01:30:00 It's all of those things. This Iowa couple needs a better lawyer. Or maybe they need to pay some Democrat congressman to get on their side and pass a law for them to protect them. The 24-year-old noted that she had no intentions of keeping the baby, and she planned to allow her sister to adopt it but they got nervous when the baby started crying fearing that the infant might alert neighbors who would call the authorities and so you know they um were possibly under the influence
Starting point is 01:30:38 of meth or the pain and the rest of the stuff anyway the, it's just amazing to me to see how this is. A judge set their bond at a million dollars for the murder charge and another $50,000 added for the abuse of corpse charge. I'd like to see Fauci under a million-dollar bond for each and every one of these babies that he bought their organs for. I mean, this sounds like a drug-addicted, clueless couple. Yes, it is murder. I don't know that it's first-degree murder,
Starting point is 01:31:16 but I do know it's first-degree murder when our government and Planned Parenthood does it, and they are paid richly. So this is, you know, they want to get rid of the kids, but they also want to get rid of the family. Our current government does RuPaul's drag race. This has been an amazingly influential, uh, show pushing all this drag queen stuff. I guess I've never seen it.
Starting point is 01:31:41 I've never seen RuPaul. Um, I don't, uh, I don't want to see it but um now this uh guy who goes by the name of ms cracker and wears a dress and all his makeup and everything uh this guy ms cracker uh says f the family we need to reinvent it You need to understand what this LGBT stuff is really about. It really is about a depopulation program. It really is about destroying the family. It's about grooming. That's become
Starting point is 01:32:16 pretty obvious. The whole thing is a pedophile agenda. Because if you can tell kids that they're mature enough to make decisions that are to permanently mutilate and alter their body, these minors, well, of course they can make a decision about consensual sex as well. Can't they? And so this ultimately is a groomer thing. And I was calling it that long before there were any drag queen story time hours, long before this is being pushed in our schools to the kids at a very early age, it was clear to me that this idea that a child could make this decision
Starting point is 01:32:57 was just laying the legal groundwork for consent. So this is a groomer agenda. It is also to attack the family, to destroy parental rights. And then the third thing, which is not apparent to most people yet, is that this is a transhumanist agenda. This is to normalize the idea that you become whatever you want. We keep seeing these pictures of people who tattoo their body, tattoo their eyeballs to make them black and things like that. One woman is going blind from that. But, you know, having implanted horns and, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:35 splitting their tongue so they look like a snake or something like that. All of this stuff, that's where the fringe, the edge, the cutting edge of all this stuff is that's the where the the the fringe the edge the cutting edge of all this stuff is right now but they want people to live in a fantasy world and maybe some of it will be physical mutilation a lot of it will be in the metaverse where you'll spend all your time living as your avatar and you'll create some avatar. It might be a different sex or age. It might be something that is some
Starting point is 01:34:08 made-up mythological chimera or something. But you'll spend so much time in that that that will become you in so many people's minds. This is all about removing us from truth and from reality. About removing us from any foundation. And of course, the parents are key to that. If you remove the parents, you can very rapidly change society.
Starting point is 01:34:36 And that's what we've seen. The parents have been removed by the schools. The parents have distanced themselves for most of the day by just sending their kids away to let somebody raise them, to let the state raise them. They don't know what's being taught there. And the kids become bonded to their classmates, not to their siblings. They become bonded to the teachers that are constantly changing each year, so there's not much of a bond to them.
Starting point is 01:35:04 But they're bonded to the institution, to the teachers, and not to the family, not to the parents. And so now the LGBT is coming in to, quote, kick down traditional family values, which is what Miz Cracker says. Do it this Christmas season. So you have another drag queen performer. It's bright. Bart is talking about it.
Starting point is 01:35:30 Uh, starring in who's holiday, a new show that turns the Dr. Seuss character, Cindy Lou, who into a quote, hard drinking pill popping, very experienced woman who hates family Christmas gatherings. The sentiment in the anti-Christmas stage show mirrors how the radical drag queen feels. And, you know, that's what Miz Cracker is playing. To say that Christmas is about traditional values or values of any kind anymore is pretty ridiculous, he said. Christ is nowhere featured in this. In America, if you look at the way people knock down the doors of shopping centers,
Starting point is 01:36:17 I think you can tell that we have separated Christmas from Christ. Ms. Cracker is not above knocking Christ out of Christmas himself either, especially when it comes to holiday gatherings. The performer feels that Christmas gatherings should be times to confront people over the LGBTQ agenda. And of course, there is a J&B Whiskey agrees with that. They've just done a commercial. I think it's airing only in Europe. But it's a long commercial.
Starting point is 01:36:46 It's about three minutes. And it begins with an elderly grandpa, and he's practicing putting on makeup and everything. And the punchline of all of it is that everybody gets together for the Christmas holidays, and you've watched the old man figure out how to put on makeup, and he's got a young grandson, teenager, and he puts all the makeup on him and then does the reveal to the family that is there for Christmas.
Starting point is 01:37:13 That's what they want to do. And that's what this guy is talking about, Miz Cracker. Christmas gatherings should be a time to confront people over the LGBT agenda. You see, you have competing religions, and they have to insert and dominate with their religion. They don't want tolerance. They demand you celebrate their religion, even to the extent that we are going to, as J.B. Whiskey is doing, as Ms.
Starting point is 01:37:38 Cracker is doing, we're going to take over Christmas, and we're going to make it about transgenderism. We're going to redefine the family. That's what JB whiskey is doing. It's what Ms. Cracker is doing. When you see this happening multiple times, and I'm not saying that they,
Starting point is 01:37:54 the two of them know each other. I'm not saying that they're together whispering. This is a satanic agenda. And of course, there's going to be a lot of people who are going to be following that agenda, whether they realize it or not. Cracker went on to tell the gay-centric website that he is really worried with a possible comeback of Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Well, you don't have to worry about that. He's not going to hurt the LGBT. Melania bragged about the fact in the 2020 election, another reason I would not vote for the man said, uh, Donald Trump, first president to come in applauding same sex Mirage. And she has been given awards. He's been given awards. As a matter of fact, as Biden held his rainbow colored white house reception, talking about the disrespect for marriage act two days later trump and melania had a big lgbt celebration at mar-a-lago as well
Starting point is 01:38:57 and you know who else was there the female trump carrie lake The female Trump, Carrie Lake, she and Trump, they have always been leftists. They're celebrities who are simply pied pipers to the MAGA crowd, and the MAGA crowd cannot see through them. It's amazing to me. Both of them wanted to lose the election. And because that means that they can make themselves some kind of a victim, martyr, savior, and they can continue to grift money off of all this. So yeah, Ms. Cracker says, you know, Christmas is gone. And I think, uh, some of us would kind of agree with that. Um, utopian lobotomy. Thank you very much for the tip.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Merry Christmas, David and family. Thank you very much. Yes. I appreciate that. But here's a poem that was reposted by Doug Wilson and it was sent to me by a listener. It's called The Night Before What's It? It was the night before Christmas, and all through the land, we still marked the birth of the one who was banned. From public discussions or public display, get rid of the Christ child, but still keep the day. So public school children must practice with stealth those carols which threaten our strange commonwealth.
Starting point is 01:40:25 And now and again, someone's runaway creche will abruptly appear in some government place. Right out in the open where children can view this threat to the folks of the ACLU. So drink to the health of our once happy nation and deck all the halls with strange litigation. Then eat all you want to, drink rum by the court, but don't say that name or you'll end up in court. Pretend that this holiday just always was. Don't ask whence it came like a smart child does. Just talk about Rudolph or Santa's small elves or sing little ditties of days bunched in twelves. Now this is all right because, please get this straight, there's no separation of North Pole and state. So sing all you want of this sort of stuff in the public arena, folks can't get
Starting point is 01:41:12 enough. If you do sing carols, then please just be careful. Look over your shoulder, keep watch, and be prayerful. Edit those carols, avoid our law's curses. You'll have to leave out quite a few of the verses. So you won't get the secular humanist riled with songs about sinners and God reconciled. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay, angers the people for the humanist way. But if you believe the time is now ripe to stand up for Christmas, don't sit there and gripe. The secular Scrooges and Grinches will hear if you say Merry Christmas with all the right cheer. It's time to be counted for what's good and right. To all Merry Christmas. To all a good night. We'll be right back. Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Starting point is 01:43:15 Well, before I get into pharmaceuticals and before our guest joins us at the top of the hour, it is a push to replace parents. As I said, it begins with the grooming of children, the idea they can consent and have the maturity to consent to these procedures, therefore to consent to sex. It's about replacing parents, destroying parental rights, and ultimately moving the Overton window to the idea that you can become whatever you want to become. There is no objective reality. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Policy Lab, Dr. Sarah Wood, explained the group's strategy for circumventing Pennsylvania's parental notification law.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Now, this is not about mutilating themselves sexually. This is about abortions. Dr. Wood said the ideal state would be to repeal parental notification laws so that doctors can refer teens to abortions privately. But until then, she says, so understand, just get rid of the parents completely out of this. That's the ideal state. But until that happens, there should be a designated navigator process to help shepherd pregnant teens through a judicial bypass so that parents never have to know. Ultimately, she explained the goal of policymakers and physicians should be, quote,
Starting point is 01:44:38 expanding this idea of a parent to being a trusted or supportive adult. So there's no tie of biology. Well, this is Plato's plan. This goes back to Plato's Republic. He didn't want anyone to know who their parents were. So yeah, let's, you know, we'll have orgies and, um, you know, people, we don't want to have families. People won't raise the kids. The state will raise the kids.
Starting point is 01:45:06 And we will control and determine at an early age where this person is going to be an elitist ruler or one of the military guardians or whether there's going to be a slave worker. And this is basically adapted and added technology to it in Brave New World. But you notice the way that they're doing this. And I've been on this for a very long time, parental rights. I was doing videos about it for the parental rights. They were doing a parents amendment to the Constitution. I'm trying to get that through. I did some videos for them to explain what the issue was.
Starting point is 01:45:53 And the U.S. is the only country that has not signed on to the U.N. agenda to eviscerate parental rights. However, the reason that there needs to be some kind of legal protection for this to push back against this is because even though we have not signed on to that UN Convention for the Rights of the Child, that's what they called it, children's rights is antithetical to parental rights. And the children's rights follows this whole path that the children have the maturity to make decisions about abortion, to make decisions about operations and mutilations and all the rest of this stuff. That's the concept of parental rights, of children's rights. And the whole point of children's rights was to destroy parental rights and to remove the children from the parents under the fiction that an all-wise and benevolent institutional government knows what's best and will act in their best interests.
Starting point is 01:46:48 So that was always there. And so now they're saying the quiet part out loud. And as they point out here, this article from the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, they say the family is an institution that the government did not make, and it has its own authority. And they say that in the course of talking about what the family is, but that is the essence of why the family is a problem for authoritarian governments, whether you're talking about Plato or Stalin or these Stalin-esque liberals.
Starting point is 01:47:29 It's an institution they don't make, an institution that they don't have any authority. And if you go back and you look at the utopian societies, many of them came in with community ideals, right? We're going to have everything in common, and some of them even used the beard of saying that they were Christian. And so they had these utopian societies. They were socialist in their outlook. And they were failures.
Starting point is 01:47:57 And when they failed, they blamed it on the parents. They said, the problem is that the parents have ingrained their values, their culture, their traditions, and all the rest of the stuff in their kids. We need to separate the kids early from that. And out of that was born the early ideas of state schooling, pushed by Horace Mann, then by John Dewey later on, to do exactly that. To have a state school that's gradually going to be the wedge, pulling the kids away from the parents' influence so they can do social engineering.
Starting point is 01:48:34 And that's where we are right now. That's why things are moving so quickly, because they have established that thoroughly. And now that they've established that and they've gone through a couple of iterations, people going from kindergarten through college and then back into the system in kindergarten as a teacher and they keep recycling this, the filth has increased. So when they say the quiet part out loud, we need to pay attention to what really is wrong with all of this. And we just had as part of this redefinition of marriage that Biden presumed to put himself into, demonizing anybody that didn't agree with him. And as they point out in this piece, they said this is a step beyond the Obergefell decision, where Justice Kennedy
Starting point is 01:49:28 said in the decision, he said, look, we're saying that this is what marriage is, but good people can disagree. But when the president, Biden, did this at the White House, he said no good person could disagree with this. If you disagree with him and you disagree with his definition of marriage and family, you're a racist, you're a bigot, you're transphobic, you're anti-Semitic, all these different things. That's all the same thing he said. Anybody that disagrees with him, that's where you are. So when people look at this, and there was this article,
Starting point is 01:50:00 it was floating around a lot of different places, a mass exodus from Christianity is underway in America. This has been featured on Drudge Report. He's celebrating it for several days. People under 30 and under are the ones that are really dropping off rapidly. And the sociologists, anthropologists are looking at this. So this is unusual, what's happening in America. It's happening much faster than it ever has in any other part of the world.
Starting point is 01:50:27 Why? Well, because of the social engineering that is happening in the schools. They don't say this in the article, but this is what I believe. The move towards secularism has happened incredibly fast in the U.S., they said. How is that happening? Well, because if you have a situation like Europe where it's gradually evolving away from Christianity over multiple generations, it moved slowly because, again, it was each generation, successive generations getting further away from a culture, from a tradition, not necessarily from a relationship with God.
Starting point is 01:51:03 That's a one-on-one thing. But the mass of it, there was a generational drift in Europe, but it's happened very rapidly here because it's been engineered through the schools. They've been able to break that connection, so they can restructure society very rapidly. So people are discussing, well, what do we have to do? The church's newest challenge is now, says Justin Brierley, host of a Christian radio show. He says, the church's newest challenge is to explain why Christianity is, quote, good for society.
Starting point is 01:51:40 Is that really what we need to do? Is that what Christianity is about? He says the worldwide conversation has changed to a new objection, whether or not Christianity is needed or whether it can serve us, whether it's a good thing for us or not, which made me think, because I just watched Christmas Carol again. I mentioned it on Friday. I said, yeah, you know, talking about some Christmas movies. And I said, my favorite one is one that was done by Alistair Sim.
Starting point is 01:52:13 It was done, I think, in 51 or something like that. But, you know, these are people who, some of the people who put it together had lived in Victorian England. Or they knew people that had lived in Victorian England. You got people in there. It was only 50 people that had lived in Victorian England. You've got people in there, it was only 50 years after the turn of the century, and it had a very authentic look to it in a lot of different ways. But when you look at Dickens' Christmas Carol, there really isn't any Christ in that Christmas either. It's all just about good works. It's about Scrooge who, like Michael Bloomberg,
Starting point is 01:52:46 Michael Bloomberg says, hey, I'm going to heaven. No way am I going to be turned away. Look at how much good I have done. It's like Michael Bloomberg. He's bought turkeys for everybody on the block, you know, and tried to ban guns as well. Everybody's going to remember him. Well, you know, with Scrooge, he's in Dickens' Christmas Carol. It's all just
Starting point is 01:53:05 about what he does for his fellow man. That's the whole message of it as you sit there and watch it. Because Dickens wasn't a Christian. He was raised in a Christian society, but he himself was not Christian. So he tangentially pulled in some of these things. And he was, I think, influenced by the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. I mean, that's culturally a very well-known parable in England. There's been a lot of music and other things written about that. But of course, in a society that's very Christian like that, that he's growing up with it, he was not a believer, but he was exposed to that the same way that Jefferson was exposed to Christianity in colonial America.
Starting point is 01:53:55 He understood that. It was the metaphor that everybody would use, just like people will talk about the Wizard of Oz, the man behind the curtain, that type of thing. Everybody understands that metaphor because they know the film. And so he would have known that. But of course, he got it exactly the opposite. He made it about his social work.
Starting point is 01:54:21 Whereas Christ said, you know, when the rich man said, let me go back and talk to my brothers and tell them to change their lives, exactly like Christmas Carol. And Christ said, even if you came back from the dead, they wouldn't listen to you. If they're not going to listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't listen to you. And that's the reality of it. That's what we are faced with. So our challenge is not to show that Christianity is good for society. Our challenge is to show Christ and the Bible to people.
Starting point is 01:55:00 But also, just as an aside, I thought this was kind of interesting. As I'm watching the movie, what was Tiny Tim sick with? And of course, there's been a lot of speculation about that fictional character. He's crippled, he dies, and there's been a lot of medical doctors who have talked about what that entailed.
Starting point is 01:55:20 And it kind of gives you a glimpse into society at the time. And you can understand why Charles Dickens would be upset about that. Charles dickens did care for his fellow man it's a good thing it's not a bad thing it's just not the ultimate thing you know you can he can buy his way out and he can repent of his sins for most of the people but not all of them he can't take a lot of the stuff that he did back but he can try to make amends to people but he doesn't have any way to make amends to people, but he doesn't have any way to make amends to God. He was rebellious to God. We all have been.
Starting point is 01:55:49 And that's Christmas. That's why Christ came, to pay for that rebellion that you can't buy your way out of with good works, with money, with anything else. But he was concerned about the welfare of his fellow man. He was concerned about the big issue of even children on the streets, sick, starving, hungry. And he actually visited, I've talked many times about George Mueller because of the amazing things that he did to help orphans, because that was such a big problem at the time. He began small. He had absolutely no money. He's a poor preacher. He prayed and all of a sudden had no money to feed these kids that he had accepted responsibility for. And then a milk truck breaks down in front of his house. And then the guy says, well, I can't
Starting point is 01:56:39 get this back before the milk spoils, so you might as well have it. And then something similar happens right after that with a baker bringing all the bread for them. It was amazing. And I mentioned George Mueller so much because as everybody was going through these really dark times last year, where the vaccine mandates, people getting kicked out of their jobs, it's like, what are you going to do? You know, can you, as you're facing this hardship, this uncertainty, you need to go back and look at this detailed diary that this guy kept over his life. He lived in his nineties and it was amazing when he would pray for things and how God would move.
Starting point is 01:57:17 And he said he kept that diary because he wanted people to understand that God had not, had not left the building, you know, like Elvis. He'd not gone away. He was still imminent and imminent in both ways, and that things change when you pray. And so I recommended that to many people. I bring that up because Charles Dickens went to his orphanage. He started out with just a couple of kids that he adopted, and it grew, and it grew, and it grew until he had this massive complex there in Bristol. And when he died, the entire town turned down. But he became famous for that. And so Dickens came to see what was going on with this. And Dickens wrote a lot of stuff about how children were exploited and used by people who were supposedly going to be helping them.
Starting point is 01:58:08 That's a common occurrence in his novels. When Dickens came, George Mueller got two of the kids and said, here, show him around, answer any of his questions. He had nothing to hide. He had nothing that he was doing to exploit these kids. And so he was concerned about that. He'd seen a lot of suffering from the kids. And so doctors, in case you're wondering, a lot of doctors have chimed in. Tiny Tim, says one doctor at the University of Tennessee, suffered from a combination of rickets and tuberculosis.
Starting point is 01:58:42 He made his diagnosis, this is Dr. Russell Chesney. Based on Tim's deformities described in the text, along with the story's insinuation that the boy's disease would be curable if his father had had more money. Rickets is a bone disorder caused by a deficiency in vitamin D. You know, we've got doctors who are being punished because they prescribed vitamin D during COVID. A deficiency in vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate?
Starting point is 01:59:09 Lack of these crucial nutrients softens the bones, and leg braces would have been the 1840s solution. Since vitamin D, fortified milk, and infant formula was introduced decades ago, this disorder is rarely seen in the U.S. Not only that, but vitamin D deficiency can contribute to tuberculosis by weakening the immune system. seen in the U.S. Not only that, but vitamin D deficiency can contribute to tuberculosis by weakening the immune system. And that's what the doctors from the National Institute of Health, as well as CDC, had them on record talking about vitamin D. And I said, look at this.
Starting point is 01:59:38 They said, it's not going to cure COVID, but it'll boost your immune system. And we've seen this over and over again. Allowing the bacterial infection to boost the immune system. Tuberculosis, once known as the white plague, was a killer in Dickens' time. Currently, about a third of the world's population is still infected with tuberculosis and um so he had a uh life tiny tim lived in a cramped polluted london uh we got very little exercise sunlight had poor nutrition sounds to me like the smart cities that they want to create don't you think they want to take us back to that time He says it's always hard to diagnose a character that's totally fictional But he said the descriptions of the 1800 ailments Were often very accurately rendered in Dickens' books
Starting point is 02:00:33 Tiny Tim may have been based on two real people In Dickens' life His nephew Henry who died of tuberculosis And the son of a friend who was disabled Alright, we're going to take a quick break. Before we do, I want to thank Bill Gardenas. Did you put that there multiple times or did you leave multiple tips? Okay, well, thank you, Bill.
Starting point is 02:00:54 I appreciate that. You left three different tips there. So I appreciate that very much. Thank you. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. And hopefully we're going to be joined by Eric Peters peters at the top of the hour so stay with us Thank you. you're listening to the David Knight show I have a letter from a listener Lawrence who wanted to respond to something I said yesterday. I had an article where we talked about Dr. Ryan Cole.
Starting point is 02:02:11 And it was Del Bigtree at Highwire who has consistently opposed vaccines. And so Del went to Dr. Ryan Cole, who has been a very early opponent of all this stuff as a pathologist. He was doing blood tests of people who are vaccinated. And he said, look at what is happening. The killer T cells are disappearing. And so Del Bigtree went to him and talked about, well, exactly what's in these vaccines. And he talked about different aspects of it and some of the pictures that
Starting point is 02:02:40 have been shown from different people. And if you recall what he was saying from some of these things, well, there's a lot of contaminations in this thing that looks like, you know, an animal or something. He believed that that was part of a plant that had, he said there's a lot of dust in these things, and we don't really know the custody of this. And so a lot of people that have done analysis,
Starting point is 02:03:01 we can't say for sure that it's this or that in terms of the graphene stuff. He looked at some of the pictures that were there and he said, no, I think that that is cholesterol and plaque from damage from the spikes and that sort of thing. And there was a statement and I agreed with it in the article said, well, you know, in a sense we can't really tell for sure what's in these things, a lot of questions about it. Uh, and, but we can see the effects, you know, and this is kind of, um, what I've said in the past about people who talk about even viruses. So, you know, look, I don't even believe that there is such a thing as a virus. It's like, well, we know that diseases are contagious, that they're caught and passed along and things like that. But, um, you know,
Starting point is 02:03:48 people make the case and say, well, you know, they had, uh, deliberately tried to expose people in 1918 flu and that didn't work. So I am not taking a position on one of those things or the other. And just as Brian said in the article um vaccine impact he said look i don't have the expertise to go in here and evaluate this stuff and even viruses you can't see them under a microscope all right that's one of the things that carrie mullis was talking about with fauci he says he he can't point at the virus and see it on their microscope so he's trying to prove that it exists, the HIV, uh, virus, uh, that that's causing AIDS. He goes, he can't use my test to prove that. And he even mocked, uh, Fauci says, he thinks that you can look under a microscope and see a virus or something because you can't.
Starting point is 02:04:38 So if you can't look under a microscope and see it, you can only see its effect or other things like that. And I've said this in the past. It might be a model that people use to try to understand something, just as we look at atomic models and we look at the Neil Bohr's atom. And we've all seen that. You've got the little balls that are the neutrons and protons and nucleus. And then around that, you have the orbiting electrons and all that sort of thing. And then you get into quantum, uh, physics and, um, it's all different from that. These are abstractions. These are models. These are
Starting point is 02:05:11 concepts that people use. I think that perhaps viruses may fall into that, but I don't know. And I can't validate that. And I can't validate what is, or is not in these vaccines. That's one of the reasons why they went to Dr. Ryan Cole. Now he had a different idea and Lawrence writes to me and says, well, I'd like to know where he got those vials from because many other people have tested thousands of them and came to different conclusions. But to say that doesn't matter what is in them. It's crazy,
Starting point is 02:05:38 especially when people are being killed. Well, again, I think it's not so much to say that, that it doesn't matter, but that we have the information that people are being killed from this stuff. Well, again, I think it's not so much to say that it doesn't matter, but that we have the information that people are being killed from this stuff. And that's why I said I prefer to not try to get into some of this stuff and say, well, look, it's self-assembling nanotechnology or graphene or this or that that I cannot support.
Starting point is 02:06:02 Because you have to understand understand when we're talking about something like this, they are on a mass murder trip, massive theft. They will put out stories that will be deliberate lies to discredit us. And we've got to be very careful that we don't latch onto those things. And so I'm not going to talk about things that I can't prove. And I'm not going to really get into, you know, I gave that information about what his conclusions were.
Starting point is 02:06:32 I've mentioned what some of the other people have said as well. But I'm not going to be dogmatic about that. And I'm not going to make that the essence of how I oppose these things. These things need to be opposed by deconstructing their narrative, by using their own confessions, by showing how they concocted this, conspired to do it, and practiced it for decades, and to show the fact that they're covering up murders. All of these things are sufficient, and they are solid.
Starting point is 02:07:04 And so if we get into some of the details of things that may or may not be into this, then we're getting into some shaky ground, and it could be a trap. It could be a trap. And I've seen that done with Alex. I've seen it done with Stu Peters. They jump onto something that's very sensational.
Starting point is 02:07:20 They get tons, they get millions of views, a big audience. And then you have people who come back and easily discredit them. And I've seen that done by the CIA over and over and over again. Somebody catches on to something that they're doing. And so they put out something that's more sensational and false. And when people talk about that, then they let that run a little bit and, um, and shut it down. So before I get into the pharmaceutical stuff, we got Eric on the line and I really want to talk to him. We've been going back and forth for a couple of days and, uh, he was out of power.
Starting point is 02:08:00 Uh, and it's kind of interesting because he's doing some reviews of some electric vehicles and they were out of power and that was on, on Friday. So he said, well, we'll do it on Monday. So we've had, uh, we've been going back and forth trying to get them on. So I'm anxious to talk to Eric about some of the things that he has, um, done with these, um, uh, electric vehicles that he's been testing from Ford. So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with Eric Peters. Stay with us. Terima kasih telah menonton Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show all right and joining us now is eric peters i've
Starting point is 02:10:14 been very anxious to talk to erica the last couple of days we're scheduled to have an interview on friday but it was out of electricity out of power and i thought that's interesting because he's got a couple of uh you know brand new ford vehicles one of them the f-150 lightning truck and the other one the mustang and so uh welcome uh eric and uh tell us a little bit about what's been going on as you're trying to review electric cars and you lose power yeah well you know it gave me some insight into what it's actually like to live with one of these things. As it happened, we had an ice storm that rolled through the area, and that knocked the power out.
Starting point is 02:10:51 And, of course, that meant that I couldn't charge the thing at home, and that was problematic because prior to that, prior to the power going out, I had driven it around just a little bit, and it had winnowed down the range to not very much. And so it was necessary to plug the thing in. But the power went out. So if I hadn't had another vehicle to drive that wasn't electric, I would have been stranded.
Starting point is 02:11:13 And I have discovered over the course of driving electric vehicles now for the past couple of weeks that unlike every other vehicle I've ever driven in the past 25-something years, I can only drive the thing basically every other day because of this lag time that occurs in between having to park it and charge it and being able to drive it again. A lot of people don't know that you cannot charge one of these things at home any faster than in a couple of hours. That's using a 240-volt dedicated circuit. And you have to have an electrician come out to run a dedicated circuit from your panel to do that,
Starting point is 02:11:48 and that's going to cost you a significant amount of money. And if your house only has a 100-amp panel, you're going to have to get your panel upgraded, and that's going to potentially cost you as much as $3,000 when all is said and done. And people are not being told about this. And what it winds up being is that my my ability to drive has been winnowed down by about half and i think that's ultimately what they want with these electric vehicles yeah you don't have to go anywhere who are you why would you are you a government official or something are you working for why would you need to go
Starting point is 02:12:18 anywhere you're going to stay within a 15 minute area here you'll be able to walk anywhere you want to go and we'll have this all set up like the village, like the prisoner, you know, Patrick? Yeah, it is such a contrast with my 20-year-old gas-powered truck. I always keep at least one five-gallon jug of gas on hand in case the power goes out, in case I forgot to put gas in the truck. I can just pour that five gallons of gas in the truck. You cannot do that with an electric vehicle. There's no practical way to store the energy equivalent of five gallons of gas and just keep it in a shed somewhere. So if you haven't charged it, and if you have no means to charge it, you're stuck. You know, I remember you had an electric vehicle a few years ago that you liked. Of course, they've discontinued it, the Chevy Volt,
Starting point is 02:13:03 because they claimed, well, it's not a zero emission vehicle because it's got a motor that is used as a generator, essentially, to drive the battery. But they took that off the market. You wouldn't have had this problem if you had had some kind of a hybrid like that. Yeah, now that was only 99.99999% clean. So that was unacceptable. And essentially what it was was an automotive equivalent of a diesel electric locomotive. Diesel electric locomotives have a diesel engine that provides the power that runs the electric motors that propel the vehicle. So you carry along your generator with you, and it's a good solution. And it really worked well. And so, of course, they had to get rid of it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, tell us a little bit about your, your reviews. You got a detailed reviews of the F-150 and you had some preliminary
Starting point is 02:13:53 information. Last time I looked on, on the Mustang, maybe you've got another article. Yeah. I just posted the full length review about that actually this morning. So it's available for anybody who'd like to, uh, like to check it out. I found out a number of very interesting things. That's at epautos.com, so they can find out those things. Even for me, I try to keep abreast of these things, and yet there were things about it that I wasn't aware of until I actually, for example, looked at the owner's manual of a Lightning pickup truck. I pawed through that, and right there in the owner's manual, it says that you're encouraged
Starting point is 02:14:23 to not use one of those commercial fast chargers because that is likely to cause the battery to not last as long as it otherwise would. And, of course, the battery in an electric car is the most expensive component in the vehicle. So, you know, you're in this paradoxical situation of in order to be able to use the vehicle in any kind of practical way, you kind of have to go to these fast chargers. Otherwise, you're going to literally be waiting overnight to recover any charge. But if you use the fast charger, the commercial-grade high-voltage fast chargers, well, then you're probably going to have to buy a battery pretty soon.
Starting point is 02:14:58 And the battery costs so much that it's not going to be worth doing. So that was just one of the many things that I learned after living with the lightning for a week. Yeah, and it's kind of interesting because you look at, as these things have kind of grown out of cell phones and computers and other things like that that have batteries in them, and in many cases they make the many manufacturers of the phones make them such that you can't really get to the battery very easily to replace it.
Starting point is 02:15:27 You're just kind of used to the fact that, all right, I'm just going to throw it away because it's already kind of old anyway, right? It's a device. It's a device, and it's an old device. I've had this for a few years. Do I really want to spend any more money changing the battery if I can change the battery? Or I just get a new one. And that's kind of that planned obsolescence is what they're now doing with this, but we're talking about something that's $50,000 for this trucking up, right?
Starting point is 02:15:51 That's for the base trim version of it. And by the way, the price of that went up about $8,000. Remember when they were telling us that electric vehicles were going to get cheaper because battery technology was going to get more sophisticated? In fact, the opposite is happening. It's not just the lightning. Ford has raised the price substantially of all of its electric vehicles. So has Tesla.
Starting point is 02:16:09 And the reason for that is that the materials that go into the battery are expensive. And the demand for them, the artificial demand that's being imposed by all of these mandates, is causing relative shortages of these things. And so the price is going up. And so now we're in this situation where these electric vehicles, which they want to put on the mass market, are becoming effectively exotic vehicles in terms of the price that only really affluent people can afford to buy,
Starting point is 02:16:34 which I kind of think is what they ultimately want. Yes, they only want a few people to have the cars. And as you and I have talked about, they're destroying the grid at the same time. So there's not going to be enough. And we've already seen this in California. Don't charge your electric cars destroying the grid at the same time. So there's not going to be enough. And we've already seen this in California. Don't charge your electric cars on the grid because we're having a power issue and so forth. We're going to see that at the end of the week. You've got a lot of cold weather coming through Texas and other places.
Starting point is 02:16:55 It's going to put a big strain on the grid. You'll probably see some other places saying don't charge your electric cars. But when you talk about the battery, that simply is an issue of the government trying to force the technology on people. If this thing were to grow organically and the market would start to react, okay, so there's a demand, let's say, for a start to have shortages of materials to make the minerals that they need to make these batteries, then that would raise the prices and demand would kind of back off, but then they would build that up. And so the, both of the things would start to grow together. But when the government comes in, starts mandating this for everybody, everybody has to go to that all of a sudden and the supply chains aren't there.
Starting point is 02:17:42 And then they mandate the shutdown of the power into the grid. It is a planned takedown. That's all it is of our transportation, our society, and everything. The fundamental distortion here is this insistence that EVs have to be functionally capable of doing everything that a gas engine car can do. And so in order for them, for example, to be able to go out on the highway and ostensibly be driven at, say, 70, 75 miles an hour for 150 miles, let's say, you have to have this massive battery pack in order for that to be feasible. So that's what they're doing. They transformed these vehicles into hugely impractical, hugely expensive vehicles, whereas if the government had gotten out of the way and people were free
Starting point is 02:18:25 to innovate, the focus would have been on keeping them as light as possible, not worrying about highway range, not worrying about getting to 60 in 2.9 seconds, but on making it very efficient and very affordable. And that could be done. In fact, it is being done in, of all places, China, where you can pick up a basic little city EV for about $5,000 or $6,000. Yeah. Well, of course, the big plan is the 15-minute plan. This is happening everywhere. We talked about it last time we came on.
Starting point is 02:18:56 And in Oxford and other places, they're sectioning up the city. So you're not going to get outside of this area. You had an article about it. You're not going to get outside of this area except under our permission a certain number of times over a given time interval. So you're not going to be able to do it on a daily basis. You'll use credits up to get out of your little 15-minute time zone. What they're creating, if you're familiar with the Prisoner, Patrick McGowan's series. Oh, love that show. Yeah. Well, if you have a situation like that
Starting point is 02:19:23 where you're confined there in their little dystopian utopia, then all you need is a little golf cart to go around different places, right? And that's really where they're headed. So, yeah, that's a use for the electric cars, just a little golf cart to tootle around in your 15-minute range. But you better not get outside that boundary or a rover is going to come get you, right? Yeah. There's so much serial dishonesty here, and I keep uncovering it like peeling back an onion one thing after the next. I've discovered over the course of the past couple of weeks that if you park an electric vehicle outside and it's not plugged in, when you return
Starting point is 02:19:58 the next day, you will notice that you have lost a significant amount of the indicated range, as much as 20 miles. I lost 20 miles at one point of indicated range because it was cold outside. So what that means, and they don't tell you this, is that you have to keep the thing plugged in all the time to maintain the range. Now, that draw might not be much on an individual level, but if you can imagine, hypothetically, a million electric cars that are perpetually plugged into the grid and the load demand that's going to place on the grid, leaving aside the high voltage stuff, it's stupendous. It's staggering. Wow. Yeah, that's
Starting point is 02:20:31 right. Well, tell us a little bit about some of the aspects of it, because you did like a couple of things about the pickup truck. And tell us a little bit about the good points about it. Well, for example, you know, you lift the hood, there's no engine, obviously, because it's electric. So you've got this additional storage capacity there. And that's neat. That's helpful. If you drive a truck, you might find that, well, I have to throw my groceries in the back seat or I have to put them in the bed where obviously they're not out of the weather.
Starting point is 02:20:56 So that's a nice feature to have. And you've got the ability to plug in chop saws and even arc welders if you want into these high amp outlets that are built into the bed and under the hood. Of course, the problem there is if you do that, you're going to drain the battery again, so you circle back to where you were. And one of the most startling things that I found out, and this confirmed other people have done this, is a guy named Tyler Hoover who did the same test that I did, which was to hook up a relatively light trailer to the truck. The truck has a rated tow capacity of about 10,000 pounds. I hooked up a 6,000-pound trailer to it, and it devastated the range.
Starting point is 02:21:30 The indicated range plummeted by 50%, just trying to pull a 6,000-pound trailer. So it's effectively useless for the purpose that most people would want a truck for. And I think when people realize this stuff, it's going to be a disaster for Ford. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah, I had about 25 years or so ago, I had a Mercedes SUV and it was, and I used it to tow a really of equipment that my brother-in-law sold. We drove it up to all the way up the coast to Massachusetts because we wanted to get there at Thanksgiving and take a look at Plymouth Rock and things like that. So we said, all right, we'll do that. And he paid for the fuel and stuff like that.
Starting point is 02:22:17 So we did that. We didn't have any problems with it. And we also then sold that car. And he had an SUV that was one um, uh, it was one of the Chrysler SUVs and, uh, we loaded it up again and went the opposite direction to take some stuff down to his father, uh, in Florida. And by the time we got down there, we'd pulled the, it was still under warranty, fortunately, but it just destroyed the rear end, uh, because of that point. But that was nowhere near warranty, fortunately, but it just destroyed the rear end because of that pulling. But that was nowhere near 10,000 pounds.
Starting point is 02:22:48 I mean, that's an amazing capacity. It had like a 4,000 or 5,000-pound towing capacity or something like that. And then some of the SUVs that we've seen, like I mentioned, that Chrysler, they claimed that they had 3,000 or 4,000 pounds of towing capacity, but they really didn't. This thing has 10,000, but then you can't take it anywhere. You certainly aren't going to take a trip all the way down to Florida from North Carolina or go up to Massachusetts from North Carolina and back. You're not going to make that. The amount of time that you have to take, and for example, I'm on good terms with the delivery drivers
Starting point is 02:23:21 who bring me these vehicles, and so they tell me about their experience. And the guy who brought me down the Lightning had to stop twice along the way to charge up the vehicle so that he could keep on going. And normally, it's no problem. It's a straight shot from the press pool up in the DC area to where I am in Southwest Virginia. They drive straight here, put some gas in it, drop it off, that's it. So it became this odyssey for this poor guy of having to stop and wait. And by the way, here's another fun thing to find
Starting point is 02:23:47 that I found out about these so-called fast chargers. And I object to the use of that term anyway because even if you believe their storyline that, oh, you can get 80% charge in half an hour, that turns out to be bogus because not all fast chargers are created equal. As I discovered, the fast chargers that are available in my area, I sat at one for an hour and 15 minutes to get a hundred miles of range, which is the equivalent of about five gallons of gas. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And of course,
Starting point is 02:24:14 you know, that's assuming that you didn't have to wait in line for somebody else to do the same thing. Yeah. And there are only four slots there. They don't tell you what it costs. They don't tell you what it costs. You know, you go up to a gas pump and it'll say, you know, $3.75 a gallon. You put in 15 gallons and you can do some basic sixth grade math and you know what you're going to spend, right? Right. These things, they want you to download an app so, of course, that they can track you using your cell phone. And God knows what else they want to do, but there is no clear way to know what you just spent. At the fast charger, if you just put your credit card in, it will tell you how many kilowatt hours you got.
Starting point is 02:24:46 It will tell you how long you sat there, but I'm still waiting for my credit card statement to show up. So I know how much I spent at the fast charger. Wow. Wow. And, uh, as you pointed out with these fast charges,
Starting point is 02:24:57 when you're talking about in your article, you said you can only take it up to 80%. And why, why tell people why that is? Well, again, it's out of due concern for the longevity of the battery and the potential for fire. Yes. Yes. That's the point.
Starting point is 02:25:13 It's about how much current can you pump through effectively a hose. Did you know they're using water cooling now because of the high heat and load that they're trying to use for these faster chargers that I think are operating at some ludicrous amount of voltage. I can't remember offhand what it is, but they do that because they don't want the thing to go up in flames and they don't want to kill the battery. So now you have a compounding problem because you start out with a vehicle that has relatively short range. For example, this Mach-E that I've got has a 290 mile hypothetical best case range. Well, if you bleed it down to next to nothing and you go to a fast charger,
Starting point is 02:25:49 you can only recover 80% of that. So you're starting out with an even less range. Yeah, that's amazing. And I found out in the course of driving these vehicles, and I've driven several of them now, that unlike a gas engine car where the EPA's mileage figures are pretty accurate and pretty dependable and pretty predictable. These vary tremendously. I found that the indicated range is generally optimistic by anywhere from 10% to 20%, depending on the conditions that you're driving in.
Starting point is 02:26:13 Wow. Wow. Well, you know, when you talk about the fact that you've got these fast chargers and you have to limit it because of the heat that's generated and because it could catch fire and all the rest of this stuff. So you only take it up to 80% and minimize the amount of time it's on there. When I, when I read that in your article, I started thinking about the trucks, you know, because they want to push this idea of electric semi trailers, right?
Starting point is 02:26:36 Yep. You got a massive amount. You're talking about how much bigger the battery is and, um, and, and the pickup trucks. You're talking about how, yeah, this is part of the, the issue with the, um, and, and the pickup trucks, you're talking about how, yeah, this is part of the, the issue with the price, you know, it starts at 48,769, but then when you get it with a platinum trim, it's pushing a hundred grand. It's like $96,874. And a lot of that is, is the big batteries, the big increase for the batteries.
Starting point is 02:27:01 But think about the, the semi trailers and've got somebody who's a professional trucker. Now they're going to take it up from a supercharger to a hypercharger. They're going to be pumping that through at a much, much faster rate to really big batteries. What's that going to do to the chances of fires? That's one of the reasons why I think we've seen so many fires of these buses in cities, one of them burning down the entire bus station in Stuttgart, other fires that they've shut them down in Germany and France and other places.
Starting point is 02:27:32 Some places they said, just take them all off. We'll get rid of the electric thing. We'll put diesel back in them because I think they're having so many fires. I think you're going to see that a lot with the trucks, especially because they're going to be trying to charge them even faster than they've done before. Sure, because time is money for these truckers. And you can imagine a typical truck stop where there are, what, maybe two dozen big rigs waiting to fuel up and get back on the road.
Starting point is 02:27:55 And of course, it's urgent for them to get back on the road. They don't have the time to sit around all day. So they're going to try to expedite that, which is going to compound this problem and result in even greater probabilities of fire, leaving aside the question of how in the world are they ever going to conduit the amount of power that would be necessary to feed, say, a dozen or two dozen of these big rigs with the massive battery packs they would have. I've read it would take something comparable to powering a small town to be able to do that. Oh, yeah. Imagine a truck stop with all these electric trucks.
Starting point is 02:28:25 You know, w what are you going to do to get that kind of power in there to charge multiple ones of them? And then if one of them catches fire, I mean, can you imagine much for the environment? Right? Exactly. But you know, you're talking about heat and a couple of weeks ago, I had an engineer on who was talking about elon musk's
Starting point is 02:28:45 neural link and he said you know stop and think about that uh first he started talking about the the wireless uh earbuds you know that apple has and how much radiation there is in that but then he said they're going to put this chip setting it on your brain and and even the other ones that bezos and gates are talking about injecting into your jugular vein instead of letting it set on top of your brain. But you know, it's amazing. These people are just off the charts crazy. But he said, think about this. You've got to have, you've got to be able to recharge this thing. And so you're going to have to recharge it with induction, right? And so that's more electromagnetic radiation that's hitting into your brain. And then the thing, what happens when you charge it?
Starting point is 02:29:26 It gets hot. So, you know, you've got this thing that's getting hot and it's setting on your brain. And I'm thinking, yeah, it's like all of this electrical stuff. You're better off with electricity, right? Yeah, you know, that just reminded me, too. Have you followed the story about AM radio being deleted from a lot of these electric vehicles because of the EMF emissions that make it essentially unusable. Yes, you had that getting rid of AM.
Starting point is 02:29:52 Now, is that crosstalk that is happening that just didn't shield it or it's got to be something else because they've always had that problem with having to, sometimes you can hear it in a car, especially if you do something aftermarket. As you're speeding up the car, hear this this cross talk that you get if you got parallel wires or something you know and they got electronic emission uh or ignition um you know is that so an electric car it's got to be much worse than that right if they're just going to delete all am radio yeah you're sitting on on two like in the case of an all-wheel drive EV,
Starting point is 02:30:29 like the one that I have, two very, very large electric motors, and, of course, 1,000 pounds of batteries. And then in addition to that, you've got this gigantic LCD touchscreen that's radiating out at you. So it's generating a lot of EMF. Now, I don't know whether it's possible to shield it sufficiently. I've decided I'm going to buy a high-quality EMF detector because, you know, after all, I need to be able to tell people what's going on, and that will help me to quantify how much EMF is actually being produced by these vehicles. That would be very interesting.
Starting point is 02:30:54 You know, after we did that report with Goat Tree, the engineer, a listener posted up on Twitter, he took, he had the equipment to measure the EMF signal and the strength, and he pulled out one earbud and the thing goes, you know, pretty high. And he showed what it was. And you look at it, if you multiply that by two, you get in the, um, uh, the same amount of radiation that you get with a cell phone. And so that would be very interesting if it's generating so much EMF that they can't have an AM radio there and you're sitting right on top of it what are the issues with that especially because you're inside a metal box and i think there's a degree of flippancy isn't there with regard to uh you know the government that's supposedly so very very concerned about keeping us safe and making sure that uh no hazards are presented that could
Starting point is 02:31:42 hurt us just doesn't seem particularly interested in whether this is a potential problem. Just, yes, sure, go ahead, build it, put it out there. Let's see what happens. Yeah. No, if it's on their agenda, they don't care what the health issues are. They don't care about the health issues of 5G. They don't care about the health issues of vaccine. Forget about it.
Starting point is 02:31:57 And you've got somebody that drops dead on film, and many of them, they're still not going to pay any attention to it. It's just full speed ahead. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. And know and of course this is the same government that will warble on about how if it saves even one life that there's no cost too high that's worth uh that's not worth spending yeah that's just to bid their price up you talk about the acceleration of this big truck and i was pretty amazed at these zeros. And again, you know, zero to 60 was something that would, that the automotive industry fixed on because they could compare.
Starting point is 02:32:30 And so people are, you know, into these, uh, zero to 60 times and fractions of a second to competing against each other. That's been a metric for a very long time. I don't think it's very good metric of, uh, you know, but you can't really quantify things like handling ability and stuff like that. But zero to 60, tell people it does zero to 60 and then quarter mile. Well, let's preface it by saying that the thing weighs about 6,300 pounds. So we're talking about a lot of metal and glass and plastic.
Starting point is 02:32:59 And nonetheless, because it does have such powerful electric motors and such a powerful battery, the thing is capable of getting to 60 in something crazy like four seconds. Wow. Yeah. So that's phenomenal. There's no disputing it, but I think it's a distraction. And it's also something else. You know, these EVs are presented as being responsible, you know, as being necessary, because after all, we have to conserve.
Starting point is 02:33:23 We can't deplete the Earth's resources. We can't emit too much we can't uh... in that uh... too much of the dreaded or gas carbon dioxide but they are gratuitous energy hawks you know there's no doubt you know i'm not i like to be a like performance but if we're in a crisis and you know we have to put the dial back we have to you we have to compromise what in the world are they doing producing vehicles uh... they get to sixteen four seconds and all of the expense and the energy use that's necessary to accomplish that?
Starting point is 02:33:48 That's right. I mean, if you stop and think about that, you mentioned 6,000 pounds. I mean, this makes my parents' Cadillac in the 1970s look like a lightweight sports car when you compare the weight of this thing. And you're going to haul that at 3.8 seconds, zero to 60. You said to here is a 12.4 and a quarter mile. I mean, that think about if you had something that was 6,000 pounds, the size of an engine that you would have to have on that. But, you know, we're talking about, we're talking about injury energy here, right? That energy has to come from somewhere. And it's, you know, so you're boiling water somewhere with coal or with nuclear power or something like that.
Starting point is 02:34:33 Or maybe you've got a solar panel connection somewhere. But still, you have to get that energy. You have to transmit it over the grid. There's losses on the grid and everything. It's still, as you point out out energy that's being consumed uh when you accelerate this thing and you're now accelerating 6 000 pounds of material instead of like my car which is 2 000 pounds of material uh yeah if this were about if this were really about conserving uh and efficiency then uh we would be targeting things like just adequate
Starting point is 02:35:04 acceleration you know getting to 16 adequate acceleration, you know, getting to 16, say, 8 seconds. You know, for most of the history of the car industry, that was considered a pretty quick time. That's right. And as long as it can maintain, say, 70 miles an hour on the highway, that's sufficient. What do you need a vehicle that goes 140 or 150 miles an hour for? Again, premised with this idea that we're in some kind of an emergency and we have to
Starting point is 02:35:24 conserve. In fact, what they've done with this, I think, is to create vehicles that are appealing to the uber-affluent virtue signalers who don't want to drive around in a meager little transportation appliance. They want this $100,000 vehicle that can get to 60 in 3.8 seconds, so they don't have to give up anything. It's us that are expected to give up everything. Yeah, everything is getting so much bigger, especially the trucks and stuff.
Starting point is 02:35:47 As a matter of fact, Karen and I went to Christmas shopping over the weekend and we're getting to the point now where we've got to drop a thing to find our car. Because even though we were not old enough that we can't remember where the car is, it's so small compared to everything else out there. I mean, whether you're talking about a crossover or an SUV or a pickup truck, it keeps getting smaller and smaller because they keep getting taller and taller. And so it's like, I know it's around here somewhere, but you can't see it until you're right on top of it because it's so low compared to everything else. And everything is getting heavier and using more energy with it. It is an amazing trend that you see. But you're right. People want something that is high up.
Starting point is 02:36:27 You know, that's a selling feature. And the things that you're talking about here in terms of a lot of space, you got space in the trunk, you got space under the hood, you got outlets to drive other power stuff. And it's super fast and it looks nice. It's got, you know, they're using lighting now like they used to use chrome in the 50s. So it looks nice and all the rest of the stuff. But I mean, you're talking about something $50,000 to $100,000. And, you know, it's not going to be used as a work truck for people. And that's the way, you know, people are not buying trucks for that purpose for the
Starting point is 02:36:57 most part anymore. Yeah, it can't be. You know, I've got a number of friends who are contractors and business people who have trucks that they use for work. And leaving aside how you feel about electric vehicles and whether you think they're cool or whether you think they're necessary, the bottom line is they would never work. I've asked my friends, could you use this vehicle in your work? And absolutely not.
Starting point is 02:37:16 They need to be able to get to work, get work done, and then get away from wherever the work is to the next job site. It doesn't square out. Yeah, yeah. I liked your bottom line on the lightning. away from wherever the work is to the next job site. It just, it does not, it doesn't square out. Yeah. Yeah. I liked your bottom line on the lightning. You said the lightning lives up to its name. Its performance can be breathtaking, but it's also gone after a flash.
Starting point is 02:37:35 Yeah. You know, and I got into that too with this Mach-E. It's analogous to driving around something like a Challenger Hellcat with a half a tank of gas all the time. And even that is not so bad. Even that's not so bad, because if you have a Challenger with only half a tank of gas and you burn through that, hey, no problem.
Starting point is 02:37:54 You can fill it back up to full in just a couple of minutes. But you start out with this essentially half a tank of gas in the electric vehicle, and now you have to sit and wait. And for a significant amount of time, they're trying to minimize the time wastage as if 30 minutes just sitting there is somehow acceptable these days and it boggles my mind that that goes without comment with so often yeah it's kind of like the tortoise and the hare isn't it yeah you zip out there and then you sit there and you wait and you wait and you wait. I mean, can you imagine, best case scenario, would you have an extra half hour every day to sit around waiting for a vehicle to charge?
Starting point is 02:38:31 Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's the best case. Yeah. What else? Tell us a little bit about, since I haven't seen the review yet about the Mustang, you talked about some of the things with the truck, the charging ports and the extra storage and stuff. So what else about the Mustang that can you tell us? How does it handle? Well, yeah, remarkably, I will say, you know, engineers are amazing people.
Starting point is 02:38:53 They take a vehicle. This one weighs almost 5,000 pounds, and it's small. It's smaller in terms of its footprint than a Mustang, and a Mustang's really not that much bigger than your Miata. So, you know, this is a relatively small vehicle. It would be considered a compact crossover if you went by the dimensions of it, and it weighs nearly 5,000 pounds before you get inside the thing. So that's a lot of weight, and to get that weight under control is quite a task,
Starting point is 02:39:18 and they've done a phenomenal job with that. The handling is quite good for a vehicle that heavy, and the performance is, you know is absolutely breathtaking, no question. But it's also kind of anodyne in that nothing really happens. You floor it, and the thing just rushes forward. There's no sound unless you push the little button. There's a sound. You can make it manufacture sound, the sound of a V8 engine, if you want it.
Starting point is 02:39:40 Though, of course, there is no V8 engine there. So they did the same thing that Dodge did with the Hellcat. They simulated a V8 sound? Yes, exactly. There's a little thing you can scroll up and you can make it make a sound. Now, on the upside, the thing is a fairly practical vehicle in terms of the same things that make crossovers so popular. It's got a lot of room for the size. It's got a usable back seat, which the Mustang does not.
Starting point is 02:40:06 It's got five times the room for cargo in it than the Mustang has. You know, the Mustang is a personal car. It's not really suitable for a family, for example. It's a second car. It's a toy car. The Mach-E could conceivably be a family car, provided you're not in a hurry to go anywhere. I had my first car was a 68 Mustang Mustang and the backseat was an unbelievable joke.
Starting point is 02:40:30 Even a small child couldn't fit back there. It was, uh, it was essentially a two seater car. Uh, but it's for gym bags. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Uh, you, you got, uh, another, uh, no net driving the, the, uh, the article there where you talk about, uh, what happens in the winter with the, uh, driver assist. Tell people about that.
Starting point is 02:40:54 Yeah. Well, this tied into the ice storm, uh, the vehicle was shellacked with ice. And so I got into drive and as soon as I started rolling, the little warning light came on in the dashboard telling me that the safety systems had been disabled because the cameras that are the fundamental component of these safety systems that they have peppered out throughout the exterior of the vehicle could not see anymore. They could not get data about the external world. So, you know, and that's fine for me because I know how to drive and I don't need assistance from a computer. Just like I don't need a wheelchair to walk.
Starting point is 02:41:28 But this whole generation of people who have been raised now, like I'd say probably for the last 20 years, to have the car provide the safety net. You know, now you've got this issue of, well, what are they going to do when their safety technology net isn't there anymore and they don't know what to do, they're not paying attention. They're pecking at their cell phone, and they drive right into the car ahead of them because they were expecting the advanced safety technology to break for them. Yeah, that's right. You have the discussion going on right now, you know, oh, we've got to get the trucks so they're taking the stuff off the hands of the long-haul drivers
Starting point is 02:42:04 and that type of thing. And so they're going back and forth talking about how ridiculous it is to expect that you're going to be able to, in an emergency that the vehicle can't handle, somehow throw it back to the human driver who's there as a fallback position. You know, they've gone to sleep. They're playing games. They're looking at their phone or whatever. The same stuff that we saw with, uh, the, uh, human driver that was there on the, uh, self-driving Uber in Phoenix when she ran over that woman, right. And, and she, she's just sitting there because everything is fine for the longest period of time, then all of a sudden something unexplained happens
Starting point is 02:42:40 and, uh, she doesn't even know what's going on. And so they want to do this. On, on the road with, um, these, these giant trucks, uh, which is, and so then they say, well, maybe what we'll do is just the areas where the trucks do better, you know, not around town around town, we'll just have the humans driving. And then on the road, we'll have this type of situation. So now you've got a truck. Uh, that is a barreling down the highway at 70 or 80 miles an hour. And it is going to have a situation where there's an unexpected something happening.
Starting point is 02:43:13 And again, the truck driver is not going to be able to cover that thing in that amount of time. There's this contempt behind all of this for the capacity of us human beings to deal with situations. So we're all to be infantilized and our lives and everything else to be turned over to AI and to computers that will take care of things for us. Rendering us a bunch of helpless, pathetic, illoy, you know, from the novel by H.G. Wells, The Time Machine. Another good reference point to help understand this, I think, is do you remember Demolition Man?
Starting point is 02:43:47 Yeah, yeah. The Sylvester Stallone movie, and they broke Stallone out of ice. He'd been in suspended animation for a long time because the cops of the future were too helpless and couldn't deal with a real criminal. So they needed to resurrect him in order to handle it. And that's probably what they're going to have to do with vehicles. Find somebody from the before time who actually knows how to drive a stick shift, for example. Well, you know, I've got this article here talking about the rise of the robot truckers.
Starting point is 02:44:11 This is from Wired Magazine. Of course, any technology is just great. You know, we don't ever second guess any technology. But they're talking about how they're, you know, how do we hand this off? I'd say take a full 17 seconds for a human to try to figure out what's going on because they're otherwise engaged in an emergency. So that isn't going to work, but it said, nevertheless, we're getting there gradually. And they sound like Elon Musk, you know, when Elon Musk says, you realize that you are already part cyborg, because if you go somewhere and you don't have that, you know, heavy phone in your pocket, you feel like you're missing a limb.
Starting point is 02:44:43 And it's like, that's not it. You know, it's just, I'm used to the weight in my pocket, you know, but they're saying, well, we can have these, uh, robo truckers and we're well on the way because we've got these things. We've got a smart cap as a trade name, a baseball cap that detects fatigue by monitoring a driver's brainwaves doing a constant EEG. And there's several different makeups of things like that. Then they've got something else that is looking a pair of glasses that is monitoring, uh, how often you blink, excuse me, another one that's looking to see whether you're checking your mirrors or not.
Starting point is 02:45:16 And they're looking at this and I'm thinking, and they even mentioned it, they say, well, this is going to kind of create a, an antipathy between drivers and the machines that are nagging them about everything. It's like, yeah, you, you bet it's going to create that type of environment, but that's where these people are headed. I mean, it's just like Jeff Bezos who doesn't want to give his employees time to go the bathroom. This is the kind of micromanagement that these, that these, um, people running these companies are using. They really do want robots these companies are using.
Starting point is 02:45:45 They really do want robots, and robots are slaves. But in the meantime, since the mechanical robots aren't up to speed, we're going to turn you into slaves, and we're going to be monitoring you like you're a machine. It's just amazing to me. Yeah, there's an aspect there that goes beyond the demoralization aspect of it, which is real, but also this presumption of perfection, to put it that way, that this technology is infallible and that it's always invariably superior to
Starting point is 02:46:12 a human brain exercising human judgment and human skill. And that's nonsense. That's simply just not true. There are so many examples of technology failing because technology fundamentally relies on its programming. And if something happens that's outside of the box of the programming, the system doesn't know how to deal with it. And then if you have a human machine miner who's never been trained
Starting point is 02:46:32 or expected to exercise judgment and initiative, what's he going to do? Well, he's going to fly into the ground or drive into a wall. That's right. And this constant monitoring of these people, demanding perfection, you talk about nanny technology, just looking at everything that they're doing, measuring their skin for conductivity and their heartbeat and all the rest of the stuff, and then making judgments about the condition of the driver and nagging them. It's just a nightmare scenario when you look at what these people have in mind to do.
Starting point is 02:47:02 Yeah, it's terrible. And I have noticed, by the way, when I do my video reviews, I do a walk around of the vehicle, and sometimes I do a behind-the-wheels segment, and something gets picked up by the camera that my eyes cannot see. I've noticed that when I take a video of the dashboard, for example, you can see these little red lights that are blinking back and forth, and you can't see them yourself. The camera picks them up, and what that, is a system that's monitoring your eyes and your movements, which then is
Starting point is 02:47:28 used to, you know, decide whether you're safe to drive and, you know, to issue some prompt or warning, uh, you know, just like a stick being shoved at you to do what you're supposed to do according to the programming. Wow. It's kind of like a, you put on the glasses so you can see, see the head of the bliminal man. They live. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:47:49 Oh, that's amazing well you know it there were some uh good cars that you reviewed tell us about that i think you had a mazda that you looked at uh well which one you know i lose track i get so many things there was one that you did recently i think it was um uh let me find it here. I went to the other article here, but I think it was the one that was a crossover here. Let me pull it back up. Yeah, the CX-30. Yeah, you know, Mazda, and thank God for Mazda, thank God for Subaru, thank God for Toyota. Those companies have not gone all in on this electric nonsense. And Toyota actually has publicly kind of poo-pooed some of the hysteria about it, which is wonderful because I think as long as there are alternatives to electric cars,
Starting point is 02:48:36 there's hope for the future. If they all buy in, we're all in real trouble. Mazda, you know, and I'm not telling you anything you don't already know because you own one, Mazda really does a good job of embedding that miata-ness into all of its vehicles, even the ones that are ostensibly family vehicles, their little crossovers and so on. They have driving dynamics and personality and styling also that actually makes you feel something. The electric cars, they are the most anodyne. Maybe I'm just being, you know, subjective Gen X guy here. And, you know, it's a personal bias, but there's nothing
Starting point is 02:49:10 to get me going emotionally about any electric vehicle I've ever driven. They all seem the same. They're just interchangeable shapes and colors, fundamentally the same thing. Whereas you get into a Mazda and some other vehicles that have character and personality, and you emotionally connect with the thing. It makes you want to drive. It makes you like the car. It's not just a device or an appliance. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 02:49:32 And is that a stick? I think it's automatic for that, right? Mazda. Yeah, I think the only Mazda vehicle that you can still get with a manual transmission is the Miata. Yeah, yeah. Toyota is starting to bring some of those back, manual transmissions. But looking at the price here, for the base one, you're talking about $22,900, and for the fully loaded Premium Plus, you're talking about $35,000,
Starting point is 02:49:58 whereas that Lightning truck you're talking about was $48,000 and then going up to $96,000-plus. What is the e-mustang going for what is that again the e-mustang starts close to 50 000 ford had to increase the price by the base price by 3500 and the ones with the longer range battery the price of those has gone up more than eight thousand dollars from last year wow that's. Now I see that you also, um, uh, had something to say about this nonsense study that I've talked about. I know where you're headed. Yeah. The unvaccinated drivers were dangerous. I mean, what a piece of tripe and propaganda that is, isn't it? Well, dangerous tripe though. They're trying to draw an equivalence between people who questioned
Starting point is 02:50:42 and were, were, were hesitant as they put it, about taking the vaccines and who didn't want to wear a mask because they knew it was idiotic and they had looked into it as being essentially reckless people, dangerous people. And that means you're more likely to wreck your car. And so where I see this potentially headed is that the insurance mafia is going to try to jack up your premiums if you haven't provided proof of being vaccinated yeah well we've already seen that talked about a year ago well not even a year ago it was a year ago that one america that insurance company pretty big company out of indiana they said we noticed in third quarter and going into the fourth quarter
Starting point is 02:51:20 so they mentioned it first quarter this year. We noticed this massive increase of deaths, and it was beyond three standard deviations from the mean. This is something we wouldn't expect except every 200 years. Now, they say that this doesn't have anything to do with COVID, but the insurance president of One America Insurance Company, he said, well, we know that's not true. They just got it wrong. We know that they had to be dying of COVID.
Starting point is 02:51:46 And we also know that nobody dies of COVID if you get vaccinated. Therefore, we need to raise the rates for the unvaccinated. Always look for any kind of justification to do that. And they will right now, you know, the enemy of the state is the unvaccinated. So they're more than happy to help them with that. It's amazing. Yeah. And the real danger here is something that I've been ranting about for a long, long time,
Starting point is 02:52:08 which is that these ostensibly private companies have managed to get the government to be their enforcer. You're required to buy their product. You can't say no, at least if you want to drive legally. So that gives them tremendous leverage and power over us. That's right. It takes away our ability to say, you know what? No, I haven't filed a claim. I haven't done anything at all objective to give you any reason for saying that I'm a dangerous or risky driver.
Starting point is 02:52:33 So no, I'm not going to pay this adjustment. You can take your policy and go pound sand. They use that leverage against us to enforce our compliance. And the car insurance is just one aspect of that. Well, you know, when I looked at this article, one of the things that it brought back to me is I've seen so many times that people who are supporting the Second Amendment will say, don't come after guns. Look at how many more people are killed in automobile accidents. Like, don't use that argument. They're going to use that against us. And, you know, right now the difference is what you need to do if you want to make an analogy between guns and cars is the fact that everybody pretty much drives cars and are around them all the time. And so we understand when there's an accident that, you know, the human is at fault and it's the way that people drive and we don't have to go ban cars you know even when you got somebody like a year ago the guy deliberately mows people down in a christmas parade with an suv there were no calls
Starting point is 02:53:29 to ban suvs because everybody understood it was him right but because uh and because they're so relatively few people compared to cars uh a lot less the population has guns it makes it an easier target for them. And if they can push us out of the automobile, we will lose the car culture, and it will be easier and easier for them to ban transportation completely. That's where you want to make the connection between these things. Sure. And also to point out that all of this is about collectivizing people.
Starting point is 02:54:03 You're not judged on your actions, what you have done. Instead, you're aggregated into some collective, the unvaccinated, gun owners, whatever it might be. And that's outrageous. It's, I think, probably the most fundamentally anti-American thing I could conceive of in that, you know, whatever I've done or not done, hold me responsible for it. But otherwise, leave me alone, you know, and other people should be held accountable for what they've done and not done. I don't have an objection to insurance as such. If it's on the free market, just as I don't have an objection to electric cars as such, so long as we're free to say yes or no to these things. Well, and that's why you have so much money being spent on these elections, because if you want to have the government outlaw your competitors,
Starting point is 02:54:48 even if it's something that's been around since the beginning of time, that you can get them to outlaw meat. You can get them to outlaw anything and make them buy your product, the new biopsy burger or whatever. You buy a politician. It's a great return on investment. these politicians like SBF who are hopelessly corrupt and embed with these politicians. And when he gets discovered or somebody outed him, now you got Elizabeth Warren and the rest of these people saying, well, you know, we got to shut down all crypto. And it's like, how did you get to this? It is the deputized state. I call it instead of the deep state, it's the deputized state where they use these corporations to censor people. And it's a symbiotic relationship. They can also then do favors for the businesses
Starting point is 02:55:25 by banning their competition and banning other things. I mean, the two of them, it is a fascist system, a merger of corporations and government, and it is a dystopian future that we have if we don't break that pattern. Yeah, I think the more worrisome thing is so many people seem to have bought into that dynamic. There's a single incident, something happens that's regrettable, and they fall immediately into line saying that that whole category of activity and everybody who's associated with it, even if no harm has been caused by it, they must be presumed to have done something, whether it's the gun, whether it's the car, whatever it happens to be.
Starting point is 02:56:02 And that's a fundamental building block for a really frightening authoritarian kind of a society. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely is. Well, Eric, it's great talking to you. I'm glad we finally got a hold of you. Well, I'm glad the power's back on. I might be able to go for a drive today. That's what I was going to say. You still have problems.
Starting point is 02:56:20 How long did it take you to get your power back? Well, it was out for about 24 hours. Now, luckily, I had a generator running on gas, and I suppose I could have hooked that up to the EV, but then I wouldn't have been very green. That's right. Well, you know, that's what Elon Musk did when he took his plaid Tesla to the Nürburgring, right?
Starting point is 02:56:38 He took this big generator with him, and the people were saying, I get the noise and the pollution. It's a dirty generator that he's doing to charge this thing, so he needed that. I guess he needed more of a charge than generator that he's doing to charge this thing. So he needed that. I guess he needed more of a charge than he could get around there. I don't know why he took that. The good thing about the Ford Lightning is, you know, it's got that bed, so it actually can carry a generator out there. There you go.
Starting point is 02:56:56 You could turn it into a Volt, a $100,000 Volt. You put a diesel generator in the back and you're set to go. Somebody did that with a Tesla. It kind of looked like, made me think of Mr. Fusion in the back of a car. They had scooped out the back and they had lined it with metal, you know, as a heat shield and put a gasoline generator back there. So the guy had a thousand range, a thousand mile range with his Tesla because he had a generator.
Starting point is 02:57:22 Yeah, that makes it practical. And, you know, it's funny, but at the same time, I'm convinced at this point that as news begins to percolate out about the real world nature of these things, more and more people are going to be turned off. I read somewhere, and you may have also read this, that in California, an overwhelming number of early adopters who bought electric cars, and mostly Teslas in California, have turned them in for a gas engine car. Well, good luck in California, because gasoline is so outrageously expensive. They're compared even in number two, Oregon, because they have not only confiscatory taxes,
Starting point is 02:57:55 but they got special blends of gasoline. It's like Starbucks or something. But at least you can get going. Yeah, I know. I agree. Yeah. How do you put a value on your time, which is irrecoverable?
Starting point is 02:58:07 Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Well, it's great talking to you. Eric Peters, epautos.com, folks. A great site for information about liberty and mobility. And you can't really have one without the other, can you?
Starting point is 02:58:19 Thank you, Eric. You can. Thank you, David. I appreciate it. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. We'll be right back, Eric. Have a Merry Christmas. Thank you, David. I appreciate it. Thank you. your okay and we're back uh the january 6th committee approved a criminal referral for trump
Starting point is 02:59:19 and uh one other person and of course they did it unanimously nine to nothing. Uh, what does this mean? Well, we've known from the very beginning that this was a political show trial. So I don't really know. I mean, this is a referral to the department of justice,
Starting point is 02:59:36 uh, asking them to charge president Trump, uh, the first president in American history to be impeached twice, uh, crows NBC news. Trump, the first president in American history to be impeached twice, Crowe's NBC News. Now he is also the first president to be formally referred by Congress for potential prosecution. The culmination of a sweeping 17-month congressional investigation.
Starting point is 02:59:59 What a joke this whole thing has been, quite frankly. I'm no fan of Trump, but I'm also no fan of these McCarthyistic show trials. It's ridiculous what this is all about. So they issued a criminal referral also for John Eastman. He was the attorney that was pushing the idea of changing the electors and some other things like that to Trump. They also referred four Republican members of Congress to the House Ethics Committee because they defied subpoenas. That would be incoming Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry.
Starting point is 03:00:42 So they referred them to the House Ethics Committee. No big deal there, frankly, at all. But pressed why Trump and Eastman were the only ones formally referred to the DOJ. NBC reports. Raskin told reporters there was an internal debate within the committee about the scope of the referrals. The committee found that other Trump associates, including Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark were actors, quote unquote. Except the January the sixth committee isn't a bunch of actors on the stage either. And the plot to overturn the election, Rackin said investigators were stymied because some
Starting point is 03:01:16 individuals chose not to cooperate with the January sixth panel. So they just couldn't get to the bottom of it. So the referral again is not binding on the department of justice. So normally you really wouldn't expect anything to happen with this, but we are talking about the Biden department of justice. So it remains unclear just how closely the special counsel's office in charge of the justice department's own investigation, how closely they will follow the path mapped out by this committee whether or not there will be any charges for that i just want to point out one thing and i mentioned it briefly earlier in the show
Starting point is 03:01:58 when we talk about what biden has done and the kowtowing to the LGBT, declaring that anybody who disagrees with him about marriage or anything else, that makes you a hateful extremist, you're racist, you're anti-Semitic, you're all these other things, you're everything. Every one of the epithets that they project onto you, all the things that they are. I mean, if somebody sees everybody as racist, if somebody wants to put everyone into a category, into a box based on their skin color, based on their sex, their gender, the rest of this stuff, and their political, name it, every one of these things. If you're categorizing everybody as racist, perhaps you are the racist, right? But Trump, two days after Biden did his same-sex mirage thing at the White House,
Starting point is 03:03:01 Trump hosts a gay law. I think that'd be the right way to put it. A gay law for homosexual Republicans at Mar-a-Lago two days after Biden signed the same-sex marriage law. This is from LifeSite News. They said the event was at his Mar-a-Lago resort home. Trump was joined by Arizona's 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate, Carrie Lake, and an array of high-profile gay cons, homosexual conservatives, including the former director of national intelligence, Rick Grinnell, a Trump appointee,
Starting point is 03:03:40 and frequent Tucker Carlson guest commentator Chadwick Moore. This is why I say, you know, Melania has had many outreach, you know, cut the commercial, saying Trump is the first president coming into office to support homosexual marriage. And look, he appointed Rick Grinnell as director of national intelligence. The guy was, um, uh, proud of the fact that he was out. He was kind of like a,
Starting point is 03:04:08 a Pete booty gay type of fellow. He wasn't like Sam Britton or, um, you know, Rachel Richard divine. Uh, he wasn't, um,
Starting point is 03:04:18 you know, in a real, uh, fringy, bizarre way. Wasn't pushing the envelope like, uh, Biden has been trying to normalize things, but nevertheless, uh, they made a virtue signal of it. Geesebusters, geesebusters.
Starting point is 03:04:32 Thank you very much for the tip on Rockfin. I appreciate that. But, but here's the thing I mentioned, and I haven't really talked a lot about Carrie Lake, but when you look at the pattern, uh, she is setting herself up to be a Trump successor. She's basically Trump with a dress, if you want to know. I mean, she is combative. She is somebody who has no history, according to all the people that knew her. She's got no history of conservative values, whether you're talking about social values or whether you're talking about economic values, she was always a Democrat supporter.
Starting point is 03:05:07 Other people are saying, yeah, she had events at her house for a drag Queens and stuff like that. And she pushed back on that at the time. And yet here she is with Trump at Mar-a-Lago at the gay law event. Uh, she is another one of these phony celebrity politicians, a Republican in name only. And, um, you're not going to see the last of her. She's going to be writing this whole election thing in Arizona. She's going to be milking that for everything it's worth. It's much better for her to have lost that election. And that's what the people who supported Trump thought. Even going back to 2016, as I pointed out, it's what Alex and Roger and they wanted him to lose so that he
Starting point is 03:05:57 could be the imagined hero that would have saved us if everybody would have listened to them. By the way, if you'd spent $1,000 on Trump's NFTs, you'd have about $5,000 today. But of course, that doesn't save what you're going to have in about a month after this whole thing dies down. Thank you for joining us. That's it for today. Have a merry...
Starting point is 03:06:17 ... ... ... ... The Common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future.
Starting point is 03:06:45 They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
