You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 20th of December, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to begin with Trump news, the battle for the ballot, and also the civil war within the GOP apparently has now been won by Donald Trump with everybody afraid to say anything about him. The Ohio race is a case in point. We're going to take a look at that. But there's also a battle for the Red Sea.

This is asymmetric warfare that has now gone to the sea. They've got $2,000 drones. We shoot them down with $2 million missiles. But hey, that's just kind of par for the course because we've got Boeing that's gone gone up from 300 for a trash can for their plane to 52 000 why well because they can and as all this is happening the pharma covid propaganda war is back and yet we have our maga bird media champions out there echoing trump about blood this and blood that because they want a civil war they're not pro-life in anything not in

anything we'll be right back Yeah, we can talk about Operation Mockingbird. The CIA would tell the establishment media back in the 60s what to say. Well, the MAGA birds are mocking Trump as well. He tells them what to say. He talks about, they're poisoning our blood. But of course, he means that, he that he says but the immigrants are coming in and then you got tucker echoing it as he's talking to dan bongino these people are our blood enemies well you know who are the enemies of your blood the people who stand by and say nothing to support

the maga guy as he poisons your blood it truly is amazing but let's begin with what's going on everybody yesterday afternoon you had a state supreme court in colorado agree that trump should not be on the ballot this is the first time this has happened as a matter of fact just last friday we had a michigan appeal court i no, Trump will remain on the ballot. And I think this is just going to be more sound and fury signifying nothing except more donations and more hero worship of Trump because, hey, he's got to be the good guy. They all hate him.

Musk has got to be the good guy. They all hate him. These billionaires have got to be the good guys because that's how i make my money they say well it looks like um we look at what the michigan appeals court said they affirmed the ruling of two lower courts we said we're not taking trump off the ballot that's not our job here and um as a matter of fact the court decision from the appeals court was three to nothing in this opinion. It was unanimous. Upholding two lower courts, and this has happened all over the place.

And this is just four days ago. But now the media is lit. You've got the Mockingbird Press and the MAGA bird press are both lit up about this, but this was with a court decisions that last Friday in Michigan, the appeals court three to nothing, uh, said it would be improper to decide whether to grant a declaration that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president. At this time, the only event about to occur is a presidential primary election. Whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to that particular ballot. The only purported basis for removing Trump from the presidential primary ballot would not be a sufficient basis for removal of Trump's name from that ballot. So they're saying, you know, this is not even relevant at this time.

And we're not going to jump into this. I think it's very interesting that they've taken the other approach in Colorado. And I think it's also very interesting that in this court statement, you notice what they said there? They said that to say that he is disqualified from holding the office of the President of the United States. You know, when Trump lawyers were pushing back on this trial in Colorado, what did they say? They said, Trump didn't hold an office. The presidency isn't an office.

They said, rather than pushing back, maybe they did push back on the insurrection. Maybe they were just throwing everything they could against the wall to see what sticks, because that's the approach that Trump takes in his campaigns. He'll say anything, whether he means it or not, whether he intends to do anything about it or not, whether it's true or not, he'll just throw it all against the wall. And so that's essentially what his lawyers are doing. Well, you know, they, you could have argued that it wasn't an insurrection and it wasn't, it was a riot that he instigated, but it was still not an insurrection. And there's nothing in the 14th Amendment about riots.

And so instead, what he said was, well, I didn't take an oath. I played that for you. I said, look, he's taking an oath. Do you remember seeing that? With Melania standing there in her designer coat, light blue coat. And so he took an oath see that remember do you remember seeing that with melania standing there her designer coat light blue coat um and uh so he took an oath he got the office of the presidency but then when it comes time is i didn't take any oath i don't know what the constitution is i don't know anything about this stuff like i understand that they may be playing some semantic games but they're a little bit too clever by half quite frankly I think that's not going to go anywhere.

And so you got the people who CNN is very excited because they found a guy who was a supposedly a conservative judge. Maybe he was a conservative judge. Maybe he was just, however, associated with Republican parties. Name is Ludig and Michael Ludig. And so they go to him. He's their go-to guy. Here's a Republican judge. And he says, Trump is guilty of insurrection.

He says the opinion is unassailable of the Colorado Supreme Court, he said. He said, you know, I've been working with this with the preeminent constitutional scholar of our time, Professor Lawrence Tribe. Okay, stop right there. This is a conservative constitutional scholar who's been working with the preeminent constitutional scholar of our time, Lawrence Tribe. No, I don't think so. Anyway, this decision in the Colorado Supreme court was as split as you can have it

when you've got an odd number of people it was four to three and so um he thinks that it's not even close although that court did think it was close and it's going to go to the supreme court now here's what i think is interesting not what it tells us about trump we always make all the stories about trump don't we? I think this is far more interesting because what is going to be on trial in this particular case is whether or not it was an insurrection. Again, they're going to go to the heart of the issue. They're not going to play these games of throwing stuff out there, I think. It's going to go to the heart of the issue. The Supreme Court is going to have to rule as to whether or not January the 6th was an insurrection. That's going to have big consequences for all these people who have been unjustly persecuted, who have been given excessive punishment.

This case is going to inadvertently, perhaps, I think, help them. I don't think the Supreme Court is going to go the direction of the Colorado Supreme Court at all. And they are going to have to talk about the insurrection now. And so that's going to have implications for other people. He may wind up helping these other people that he threw under the bus for his own personal reasons and just walked away from. Now, to save his own skin, he might help them.

Now, Tom Tillis out of North Carolina, the senator out of North Carolina, boy, if ever there was a deep state show, that's the guy, too. I tell you, anyway, I've talked about that case before. I won't get off on that tangent. He said that he plans to introduce legislation to prevent states from disqualifying

presidential candidates from the ballot on constitutional matters that should be decided by only the Supreme Court. And they're going to decide this. And it's going to have implications for a lot of people who are being unjustly punished for following this disloyal president who lied about what he was going to do, did nothing he said he was going to do, threw his supporters under the bus for his own perceived self-benefit.

So he said, um, regardless of whether you support or oppose Trump, it is outrageous to see left-wing activists make a mockery of our political system by scheming with partisan state officials, pressuring judges to remove him from the ballot. I agree with that. I think this whole thing has been so, uh,

you know, this has all been a lawfare warfare from the department of justice, from these judges all over the place. And, um, the thing that gets me so upset about it, it's not just that it's political persecution and signs of a banana Republic, but it's also helping Trump who I absolutely loathe every day. I despise this guy more. So those, those of you who are just turning in for the first time can now turn me off. Uh, But I'll tell you why. If you stay tuned, I'll give you a good example of how dangerous this guy is.

But you may not want to wait. If I just defended your idol and you can't stand that, you know, you got your hands over your ears and you're stomping on the floor, reaching to turn off your computer or radio or whatever you're listening to. I can't help you with that. Anyway, this is going to force them to rule on something that was not an insurrection it was a riot again it wasn't as damaging or as extensive as the george floyd riots frankly nobody should be in jail over this you got anybody that was given uh 20 year sentences over um, I don't know, 17 for Joe Biggs. I forget what the, I think Stuart Rhodes got more. Maybe Enrico Terrio got more, but 17 years for Joe Biggs. Anybody get 17 years for these George Floyd riots? People that burned down buildings and stuff like that?

No, no. Did Joe get violent with anybody? No, no. there's no pictures of that if that if it happened they would have shown you the pictures they were showing they were pulling him out featuring him and saying look that's joe biggs and he's walking in with a smile on his face um trump um meanwhile and i think this is the thing so if you've still stuck around you haven't turned me off yet hear me out out about what I say, what Trump has done to the GOP party. Trump has now urged a primary challenge against Chip Roy.

Why? Well, because as Ty Cobb, Trump's lawyer said, Trump is a deeply wounded narcissist and capable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge. And here's the revenge part. Chip Roy is somebody who has been an excellent congressman. He's not always right, but most of the time he is on the right side. One of the more conservative congressmen and a very good congressman. And he's one of these people like Thomas Massey who does what he thinks right,

and he doesn't really care about taking the heat for it. And so now he's taking the heat for it, just as Thomas Massey took heat from Trump because he opposed Trump's $3 trillion grooming for universal basic income, the stimulus checks, the PPP, all the rest of this stuff. Thomas Massey said, no, we're going to come. I want these. I'm going to force a vote here. You're all going to come back to Washington. You're all going to vote on this. That was really bad because not only did it shut down and oppose or try to shut it down, it didn't, they all voted for it, but, um, not only did it try to oppose Trump's world economic forum agenda of universal basic income and lockdowns and all the rest of the stuff. But it also showed that they're not going to die.

They came back to Washington to vote. And we saw this over and over again, that the whole lockdown was based on a lie. Perhaps that was one of the things that got Trump so angry about that. Remember when they found somebody who tested positive at cpac at the very beginning of this stuff i mean we've already been told that it was uh very dangerous we're all gonna die and the left was gleeful all these conservatives are all gonna die they didn't believe that it was a pandemic and now they're all getting nobody died nobody died You had a few people who tested positive and self-isolated, but they never died. And so Trump says, because he's angry with Chip Roy.

Why is he angry with Chip Roy, by the way? Is it because Chip Roy betrayed conservative principles? No, Trump doesn't care about that. He's angry because Chip Roy endorsed DeSantis. That's it. And so you've got a great conservative congressman principled articulate with a backbone and a spine and uh trump comes after chip roy just like he comes after thomas massey because they opposed his agenda or opposed in this particular case opposed him

and so trump says has any smart and energetic republican in the great state of texas decided to run in the primary against rhino congressman chip roy trump is far more of a rhino than chip roy trump has no trump is a hillary clinton democrat all of his life he's just been wearing a mask and he takes it off even when he was president let's do gun control take the guns do the due process later, all the rest of it, take the jab, you know,

all the rest of this stuff. It's all just a front. You know, the Rhino is Trump Republican and name only. Anyway, he goes talking about chip Roy. Trump says he's very beatable. If interested,

let me know. So number one, Trump doesn't have any conservative principles and then number two he has absolutely no knowledge or respect or interest in what the law is about elections and that's why we're here in this particular situation now you see just like they held the vote for the electoral college on on December the 14th, 2020. And I said that day, I said, it's over. And I said, all this stuff that Alex is doing with Stop the Steal, all this stuff that Trump is doing with Save America, it's just a grift for your money. Happiness.

We all know what it feels like. But sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from the Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives. But how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough.

You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. And January the 6th is a trap. It was over 2014 when the various electors around the states had sent in their votes. And the deadline for anybody that wants to run for office in Texas has already passed. Trump doesn't care about any of that. He is so focused on himself in the mirror that he doesn't know or care about anything else. Willfully ignorant about all of it. So Thomas Massey doubled down and said, I stand with Chip Roy. He wrote that on Twitter. He said, Chip Roy fights for what he believes in one of the most

conservative members of the Congress. I can tell you with certainty that this short-sighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work. Where's it coming from? Trump, yeah. Roy has, in recent months, been one of the most prominent House supporters of DeSantis. And again, what does this tell you about DeSantis and Trump? It tells you that Trump still fears DeSantis. Trump doesn't think it's over. Trump still fears DeSantis and Trump. It tells you that Trump still fears DeSantis. Trump doesn't think it's over.

Trump still fears DeSantis. Why? Well, because DeSantis was one big, and Republicans won big in Florida under his coattails. At the same time, the rest of the Republican Party in a midterm election, which should have been a landslide for Republicans against Biden. Uh, the rest of their country was taken down by Trump's endorsement of people

like, um, Dr. Oz and Blake masters and Carrie Lake and all these other things. He was the Republican party was taken down by these rhinos. They're the ones who are the rhinos. They're rhino celebrities that he picked and so trump is very afraid of desantis remember desantis had a big lead initially because people said hey trump has been poisoned desantis was good and then they flipped the narrative and they said you know the problem is not trump it's abortion you know these dead babies are

like an albatross around our neck and we got to just get rid of them and not care. And yet it was DeSantis who pushed in the Republicans in Florida who won so big, who pushed on those policies, who supported parental rights, who supported pro-life policies. That was the essence of their support, as a matter of fact. That's why Trump called him sanctimonious, because he stood for life and the family. Trump does not stand for those things. And he can't stand anybody who isn't loyal to him. That is the only thing that Trump cares about.

The only thing that trump cares about the only thing and so um uh you know it just shows his narcissism his arrogance and his indifference to the rule of law those are the things that disqualify trump and so de santis pointed out that trump doesn't even know what the filing deadline is it really doesn't care what the rules are it's all about him because he's a deeply wounded narcissist out for revenge you know when you look at the electoral college what is the electoral college and why is it so important why do we do this state by state why do we have you know winner take all with the electoral college well it's because the states were sovereign states you know the united states was just this thing that was created that was like the United

Nations in a sense today. You know, you've got all these member states that are sovereign states. Well, all the states were sovereign. And the point of these electors is that they were not chosen by popular vote in the past. They were chosen by the state. In the same way that in a parliament, you have the party that wins the majority. They choose from among themselves

the guy who is going to be the prime minister, for example. And then if they don't have a majority, if they don't have, you know, a majority, if they don't have 50 plus one, then they have to put together a coalition of other parties. But the person that, you know, they elect one of their own members there. Well, in the same way, the states under the Constitution, which we don't follow anymore, under the Constitution, the states were to pick the electors now the states have decided that they're going to pick the electors based on a popular election but it could be done by the state legislature because these are sovereign states and these electors were another one of the examples where it was supposed to represent the power of the states, just as the senators were appointed by the states, and they were supposed to represent the power of the states

and not of the people. The power of the people was represented in the House of Representatives, but the senators and the Electoral College electors were there to keep the state's power that is recognized on the 10th Amendment, but eviscerated with the subsequent amendments that went to the popular election of senators. So, again, that's why it's important, and it still serves an important purpose as a check against the election being decided in two or three populous states. So, uh, Chip Roy went on Fox news setting alongside DeSantis to respond to this attack from Trump. And he said, um, look, you're saying these polls and it's over. As I said, that just annoys me to see the media pushing this narrative.

Well, we've got all these opinion polls. Uh, where the opinion polls, um, these opinion polls. Were the opinion polls, if we'd gone with the opinion polls, Trump would not have been president in 2016, right? And yet, on the basis of public opinion polls, they pronounced Trump not only the winner of the primaries, but now the winner of the election. Chip Roy says these polls are supposed to reflect

public opinion, not shape it. And that's the way the media is using it. That's the way the Trump organization is using it. The push polls and the indictments from the Democrat politicians, those are the things that are pushing Trump forward. Push polls and Democrat indictments. He said, what's going to decide this election of the people on the ground? Not the polls, but the people in Iowa. He said, what's going to decide this election of the people on the ground? Not the polls, but the people in Iowa. He says, we're for principles, not for princes. Oh, I like that.

Yeah, Trump, the prince of the GOP. We don't let the polls decide. So we are going to continue to push this. And I think Trump is not quite so secure. I mean, it just might be his, you know, hyper narcissism and paranoia about that. But I think he's not secure that he's got this all sewn up. And so he's doing big talk. He's talking like it's 2016 again.

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that about the border it's not does anybody not remember his failure his passive failure his failure to even try to do anything trump didn't try and fail to protect the border he failed to try even to protect the border and uh again you know he starts with all this stuff about poisoning the blood of our country you know literally i think i really do think this and what Tucker's saying, I really do think that's kind of a satanic confession. You know, you are compelled to admit your crimes, even if you do it in a very cryptic

way. Oh, he's talking about immigrants. I think he's still talking about what he did as father of the vaccine, poisoning the blood of our country and the rest of the world, frankly. So he could have stopped all this. He could have set precedents for border control. Instead, what he did was he set precedents for gun control. He set precedents for border chaos. And he was completely passive when it came to things like daca he refused to repeal the executive order from obama he played court games with it and uh but now he's saying he's going to do the largest deportation operation in american history going back to the 2016 election

and that election he was saying well you know this is something that can be done. Take a look, he said, at what was done by Eisenhower in 1954. So when Trump was running in 2015, he said, in 1954, a program under Eisenhower moved, quote, moved one and a half million illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border. They came back. They moved them again beyond the border. They came back. Didn't like it. Moved them way south. They never came back.

We have no choice, he said. So why didn't he do that when he was president? He used that as an example. He said, you know, look at what Eisenhower did. I'm going to do that to protect the border. Like I said, his policies didn't fail. He failed to even try. But now he's bringing it back as he's campaigning this year.

What's he doing? He's talking about what Eisenhower did. Trump, what Eisenhower did in 1954, you didn't do in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. You didn't do any of that. Why didn't you? And why are you talking about it now? Because he's just that phony. In October 2018, Trump invoked the idea of an invasion by MS-13 and still.

All talk, no action. Wouldn't even do anything about daca i've talked many times about the family from el salvador whose daughter was murdered on long island and the father said i you know we had ms13 and el salvador i wanted to get away from them i went as far as i could came up here you know new york long island and yet he said in the school, there's all these illegals that are there and they've got MS-13 tattoos on their face. But because of Obama's DACA, they wouldn't do anything about it. Even though they had MS-13 tattooed on their face, it wouldn't do anything about it. They killed his daughter. And I said, you know, when you leave the borders open,

you don't just get families who are trying to run away from drug cartels. You get the drug cartels themselves who come into this country. That happened under Trump. It continues to happen. And it's going to continue to happen because he's not going to do anything about it whatsoever. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and I'm going to give you a little bit more election information. And then we're going to get into what is happening with the TSA and their new ID programs and how that is metastasizing throughout all of our country. We'll be right back.

Uh, so, um, let's talk a little bit about, you know, there's, as I said, there is a course of civil war going on between the Republicans and Democrats over Trump. And the Democrats have just thrown away the rule of law to do anything they can to get him. I mean, they're the ones also who are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. But you also have a civil war within the GOP itself over Trump. And it appears that Trump is pretty much one.

When you look at what is happening in Ohio, as I reported last week, you had a guy who ran in the last election against Marcy captor, if I'm pronouncing her name correctly, she's the longest serving woman in the house. So she's starting to get older. And I speculate, I said, well, I guess why they focused on this race so much is because they figure that she's old and about ready to retire or something like that or vulnerable because of her age or something. But now what they did was they redistrict that. And I think the Democrats did that because like, hey, Marcy is not going to be around that much longer running for these offices. If we're going to have to have a redistricting let's sacrifice her seat and so it is considered to be a seat that is in play even though she's been there for a very

very long time the guy who was running against her last time uh majewski uh has uh looked he was starting to get some support from republicans and they withdrew it when it appeared that he had lied about his experience as a veteran. Claiming that he was in Afghanistan, there appears to be absolutely no evidence of that. He was in Qatar the entire time, in the Air Force, and refueling planes, I think ground crew or something like that. But there's no evidence that he was there and so when that surfaced they pulled their support away from him he lost by 13 points to uh her the last time so he's running again but then they had somebody else as a republican who was running and because um of the loss of majewski the first time around, there was a lot of money that was given to the guy who was opposing him in the

primary to read, to redial, I guess is the way you pronounce his name. And one Congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio said, unless he's found somebody that knows that he was in Afghanistan, it can have some proof that he was in Afghanistan. I don't know how Majewski overcomes this issue. It's a disqualifier for anybody that does it.

And I'm not saying he did it. But so far, last I heard, he didn't have a good answer. And he didn't have any proof that he had been in Afghanistan. And so what he did was in the interim, he appealed to the Pentagon. He got a medal that was applied to anybody that was in the Middle East anywhere, a whole bunch of different countries. And but again, there's still no evidence that he was anywhere except in Qatar. So anyway, then so it looked like he was not going to be the nominee. Matt Gaetz and some other people found a clip where Rideau

had made negative statements about Trump. Oh, that was it. That was too much. I'm not going to seek his endorsement. I'm not going to endorse him. Again, he had a lot of financial backing. The Republicans were all lined up behind him.

As soon as this surfaced, this criticism about Trump, then they all pulled away from him. And he immediately said, oh, I love President Trump. I want to endorse him. Too late. Too late. Trump started praising Majewski and endorsing him. And J.D. Vance praised and endorsed him.

Then something interesting happened. Somebody found that Majewski had also said that Trump was an idiot. You see, everybody knows who this guy is. That's what's so phony about this. This is the thing that bothered me so much at Infowars. Roger knows, Alex knows. They all know what Trump is. They all know he's a grifting crook.

They know he's an idiot. But they continue to endorse him publicly. Even after they unendorse him and criticize him publicly, then they, you know, fall on the floor in front of him and praise him and kiss his feet and the rest of this stuff. It's disgusting to watch this. I am sick and tired of this hypocrisy. And let me tell you the hypocrisy that you've seen publicly from Roger, from Alex, as they flip-flop back and forth and all this stuff, that's nothing compared to what's behind the scenes and what they say. Anyway, so then the guy that Trump has just endorsed, then they find out that he's got texts that say that Trump was an idiot.

And so then what happened next, I think, is even more interesting. Because now, Riedel, who was the guy who had the money and was going to be the nominee until they exposed that he was disloyal to the prince, the Machiavellian prince. Then Riedel runs ads on Friday. He doesn't run ads in Ohio. He runs ads in West Palm Beach where Trump lives talking about how much he loves Trump. Is that pathetic and disgusting or what? None of these people talk about how much they love liberty

or how much they love the Constitution or how much they love America. It's how much they love Trump. And they're going to run ads in trump's home district a thousand miles away from where he is to tell trump please endorse me please endorse me and so um uh yeah he had a half million dollars in the bank way more than the other guy did. So he's kissing the ring. And the GOP is nothing but a bunch of craven cowards. There was a civil war within the GOP and Trump won it. Because the other people had absolutely no spine. So Craig is a great candidate.

Craig Riedel. He has done all the things he needs to win this race as the commercial. He has, I'm sorry, that's not the commercial. He has, um, I'm sorry, that's not the commercial. That's his spokesperson, Mark Harris. He has tremendous support in the district, all up and down the district.

And so if people are serious about flipping this seat, we welcome their support to do just that. So then after he runs, spends money to run ads in Trump's hometown, not in Ohio where he's running, uh, then the other guy, spends money to run ads in Trump's hometown, not in Ohio where he's running. Then the other guy, Majewski, posts a response on X to say that he is, quote, a supporter of Donald Trump who has never strayed. And then he accused the GOP of pandering fake news

and their partisan attempt to muddy my primary. I don't run ads a thousand miles away from my district in Palm Beach to prove that I'm a Trump guy. That's all that matters. Are they loyal to principle, constitution, the rule of law? No, they're loyal to Trump. Vote for me. Vote for me.

And meanwhile, you know, Jim Jordan, the guy who loves to do nothing but hold these show trials, he does absolutely not. He's a master at pulling these people in and dressing them up one side and down the other. But he never does anything, Jim Jordan. So Jim Jordan, also of Ohio, asked about whether or not he was going to withdraw his endorsement of Riedel. He says, well, I'm talking with our political guys. I haven't spoken with Craig. He said, we told Craig to endorse President Trump months ago. This was a big mistake.

You see? You have to genuflect before the king. Months ago. Pathetic. Pathetic. I just, my disgust of all these politicians, these GOP politicians, they're every bit as bad in different ways. Again, you look at the Democrats, you look at the Republicans, know how they're going to come at you. But this worship of Trump makes me want to throw up.

Every day I despise him and the Republican Party more. There isn't anybody on either one of these parties that's going to do anything for us, by the way. I know I hear the people, well, who do you support for president? Nobody. None of the above is who I support. I support people in the local election. Vote for your sheriff, your town council.

Take a look at who's going to be in the state legislature. You know, we've got a good state legislature here in Tennessee. We've got a lot of good officials. We just had the Tennessee state attorney general file the first lawsuit against BlackRock saying that their ESG stuff is a betrayal of their fiduciary responsibility. People have talked about that and it truly is. People invest in BlackRock because they want to make money. BlackRock is doing things not to make money, but to make friends out of the Biden administration and out of the World Economic Forum. They've got a different agenda. That's fraud. That's dishonesty. They should be sued for that, and I'm glad to see that happening. And then we've got people like Frank Nicely, who has been spot on in terms of focusing on CBDC, on trying to set up an alternative banking system, a Tennessee Reserve banking system, to keep small, medium-sized banks alive, which is what they did in, um, um, North Dakota, I think it is.

Uh, but also, you know, when we had all this insanity, the COVID stuff is Frank nicely who wrote a bill, got it passed to let people get ivermectin. You know, we need people like that. Focus on people like that. Don't focus on Trump and Jim, you know, Jim Jordan and people like that. It's just, they're not going to help you. They're not going to help you. You know, maybe you got somebody like Thomas Massey, but if you don't,

don't worry about these other guys. So, um, both of these candidates are facing allegations of Trump disloyalty. Trump disloyalty. Uh, nearly two years ago, Majewski's campaign called Trump an idiot. And again, we've got video of Roger Stone doing it, but now Roger is groveling to Trump. He was beside himself. The film crew captured it there. They were doing a documentary on him.

During Majewski's 2022 campaign, he cast himself as an Air Force combat veteran who deployed to Afghanistan, but records published show that he was stationed far away in cutter for six months loading cargo planes far away from the fighting he got his medal and is now trying to claim that his medal which is handed to anybody who is anywhere in the mid-east during that period of time that that medal proves that he's a war hero. No, it doesn't. Don Bacon, Republican in Nebraska, retired Air Force Brigadier General said, personally, I like the man,

but he's got to be able to show that he was in Afghanistan. Otherwise, the Democrats will use that as a weapon. And the GOP should use that as a weapon. They should call it the Santos Clause, as I said the other day. We don't want to have any more people like George Santos, but unfortunately we do. Meanwhile, on the Democrat side, as I mentioned yesterday, they're now looking at the crooked

stuff of Joe Biden again. And yet they did this. Here's an example. May of 2020, Politico. This is a deep dive article on Biden family corruption. Biden, here's the headline. Biden incorporated how quote unquote middle class Joe's family cashed in on the family name. A 32 page article that I'm not going to go into detail on, but it's all there. It's all there in 32 pages. What we know now, what everybody's talking about now they talked about in 2020 why are the democrats and lindsey graham and people like that pretending that it's not there's not anything there and it's not just that

article there's articles from all these different mainstream left leftist mainstream publications in 2020, in 2019, in 2018, and on and on. This is a well-known thing. And I remember saying, why in the world are the Republicans using it? Well, they didn't for whatever reason. Perhaps it's because they needed to have Joe Biden in to mandate the vaccines that Trump had created without any opposition from his loyal followers. And then when you look at these phony charges, this professional wrestling stuff that gets Trump's supporters so riled up,

they understand that this is garbage. You now look at the ex-FBI intelligence chief who was leading the investigation about the FBI, that the FBI had in the Trump-Russia collusion, which is nonsense. He's now gotten four years in prison. For what? For colluding with Russia. This is, as we typically see from Democrats and corrupt people, they project their crimes onto other people.

Charles McGonigal, 55. Two separate indictments, one in New York, one in Washington. The New York case related to taking nearly $200,000 in bribes from a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, to investigate a rival oligarch. And the Washington case, which concerned Albanian money. He pleaded guilty in August after being hit with four initial corruption charges.

And, um, he was heading up the New York counter intelligence division, which was responsible for supervising and participating in investigation of Russian oligarchs. And, uh, yet,

um, he was, you know, we said all the time, you know, the FBI over and over again is like arsonists who become firemen or firemen who become arsonists. Maybe that's how they began. But they're constantly instigating things.

And this particular case instigating something that he himself was doing. So he's got another case that he's going to be sentenced for. It's not an overstatement, wrote the U.S. attorney on the case. It's not an overstatement to say that no one knew better the gravity of McGonagall's crimes than McGonagall himself. And let's talk about the gravity of their crimes. You know, quite frankly, I care more about the persecution of these January the 6th people

than I do about their financial corruption with Russians abroad. Because there's not any indication that he was doing anything to, you know, turn over any state secrets or anything. He's just taking money from these guys, I guess. But anyway, nevertheless, take a look at what is still happening with January 6th. Not a day goes by hardly that you don't see somebody else has now been indicted over something that happened about three years ago. And so now the Department of Justice has charged yet another journalist,

this one working for The Blaze, Steve Baker, over January the 6th. Journalist Steve Baker of The Blaze Media, who captured some of the most dramatic footage, has been ordered to surrender to federal authorities on as-yet-unknown charges. This is the same thing that happened to Sam. Sam Montoya at Infowars. Mr. Baker, whose January the 6th videos and photos have appeared on HBO and BBC, as well as the New York Times and the Epoch Times, told his followers on X, formerly known as Twitter,

that his North Carolina attorney notified him December the 14th that he would be arrested. But the FBI is still thinking about what they're going to charge him for, I guess. Like many other reporters and photojournalists, both independents and those working directly for established media companies, he said, I followed the story that day where it went. And I've said this many times. They mention in this article here, Sam Montoya, who worked for Alex. He was the only person out of Alex's massive entourage that he always takes people to, uh, these events.

And he's got all these people with cameras following him around. Something all worked for him as if, you know, all the different media people are following him around. And, uh, you know, that was really what Sam, I guess, was supposed to do. Instead, Sam saw a real story happening, and he went over to cover it. And you saw the pictures of Sam peacefully walking through the velvet rope barriers and things like that. But they came after Sam. They charged him.

Alex said, well, I'll defend you. But then he fired him because he wanted to get him as far away from him as possible. Threw him under the bus and fired him. Fortunately, Sam only got house arrest for a few months. But in this particular case, as Baker is saying, the journalist for The Blaze, he said, I did no violence or property destruction on January the 6th. I certainly did not interfere with election certification. By the way, he didn't trespass either.

If you're given permission to come in by the police or standing at the door, that's not a trespass. So no trespass, no violence, no property destruction, no interference. What's the charge? Well, they're still thinking about it, I guess. Here we are three years later. Just keep expanding this. When is the Republican Congress going to clip the wings of the FBI? We all know.

Never. Never. They will never do it. They're going to build them a new building. His outspokenness that day was on display, however. Following reports that somebody had been shot outside the Speaker's lobby and that the building was on high alert, he challenged two officers who had drawn their service weapons and were shouting at unarmed protesters. He said to them, are you going to use that on us?

None of us have guns. We've got cameras. That's the same kind of way I was talking to Dan Love and these people when they were threatening to shoot us and they had their guns drawn at the Bundy Ranch standoff. Yeah, big man, you got a gun, we've got cameras. What you going to do about that?

I mean, it's just, yeah. As the officer explained why the dozen or so law enforcement officials in the lobby had weapons ready, Mr. Baker intoned dryly, well, the only shots that have been fired have been fired by you guys and again sam montoya in the same situation yay he says as he's going through well that's it

and i get him house arrest for several months for saying that uh this is um free speech freedom of the press this is a department of justice and an an FBI and a Biden administration that feels free to violate the Constitution and all of those prohibitions of our God-given rights. The most obvious characteristic of the list that includes J.D. Rivera, Sam Montoya, Stephen Horn, Will Pope, Sean Witzman, is that none of those worked for major media, for left-wing sources. None of those people who are left-wing have been prosecuted, they said. This is an outrageous retaliation on the part of the federal government against the journalists, the editor-in-chief of the Blay. So it looks like they're going to stand beside him and behind him rather than firing him like Alex did.

Because, you know, if you get behind somebody like this um they're going to come after you right and that is a part of maybe why they came after stephen baker because he did stand behind people who were falsely accused he did report on the Oath Keeper trial, and the first one, he blogged about it. And in his blogs, he exposed the fact that the government was giving false testimony, lying about that on that particular case. False testimony that played a pivotal role in the conviction of the Oath Keeper. So this is about getting vengeance on them. You know, Alex knew that if he defended somebody, defended his own guy like Sam, that they would come after him. So he didn't do it, threw him under the bus. But perhaps he will get support from the blaze, who knows. As all this is happening, Mike Benz, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, has pointed out that the Democrats not only had an election integrity partnership, but they also had something called the Transition Integrity Project.

And Mike Benz says that this project, according to him, was to create some kind of a color revolution uh he said um as he tweeted out on twitter he said uh here's a 2002 film it's called bringing down a dictator and it's how the u.s state department cia and ngos swarm orchestrated a color revolution inside of Serbia to regime change Slobodan Milosevic. He said, if you think they would do that to their political enemies in other countries, do you think they would do it to their political enemy in this country? Well, just take a look at what Microsoft's AI chatbot is doing. And I think it's interesting that this is a Microsoft's AI chat bot. They're now calling it, it used to be Bing chat.

Now they're calling it co-pilot. Remember Microsoft is behind NewsGuard. Microsoft is behind ElectionGuard. Well, actually they're not, they're not the ones behind it. It was ElectionGuard was funded with a $10 million grant from DARPA. They gave the money to this wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft and so that was all their money for election guard came from DARPA now what is their chatbot doing well it's just making up stuff about people

just in case you don't have enough of that happening with Washington Post and New York Times and CNN. In one case, researchers asked the AI chatbot about corruption allegations against a Swiss lawmaker and immediately responded with details and with sources that it had all made up. Not a word of it was true. And so when AI lies to you, they call it a hallucination. If CNN,

the mainstream media and the Biden administration lied to you, they call it the truth. And when you tell the truth about their agenda, they call you a liar, misinformation, disinformation, malinformation. So Microsoft's co-pilot reportedly responded to political inquiries with a number of conspiracy theories misinformation outdated or incorrect data particularly regarding elections maybe they should be blackballed by news guard do you think because that's what news guard does um we found something that disagrees with the government agenda. And we disagree with it. And so we're going to say that article is false.

Therefore, nobody should go to your website ever again. That's the way NewsGuard operates. They don't come after this stuff one article at a time. They don't debunk it. They just say, nope, sorry, that's false. You're done. And that's the way NewsGuard operates. So Wired asked about the 2024 election polling locations,

and it gave wrong information about that. You know, we just had a guy who was convicted for putting out a joke meme. Oh, yeah, vote on Wednesday, you know, for Hillary Clinton or something. And it had people who did that as a joke on the other side, you know, vote Wednesday for Trump or something like that. But this guy, because again, just like we see with the January 6th journalists, there's two standards of justice.

And so if you do that as a joke against Hillary, they're going to send you to jail. If you do it against as a joke against Trump, no, you're fine. And so now you've got AI. We've got Microsoft's AI, which is A, telling lies about political candidates. B, telling lies about when and where to vote. They don't get banned by a news guard. They don't go to jail.

Other people do. The chatbot also shared inaccurate information about elections in Switzerland and Germany, including wrong polling numbers, wrong election dates, again, that meme case, and fabricated controversies about candidates. You see, here's what's going on. All this is run by Microsoft, and by darpa and by the pentagon and so you know this this modriowski shell game that they've got going you know but anyway the ai is going to give them plausible deniability to smear campaigns to smear individuals to lie about everything in the election and then just say, well, not me. It's the AI and it just hallucinates, you know, AIs like that.

No crime, no foul, no problem. Wired says the researchers asked co-pilot in September for information about corruption allegations against a Swiss lawmaker, Tamara Funicello, who at that time was a candidate in the October elections in Switzerland. The chatbot responded and said that she had received money from a lobbying group that was financed by pharmaceutical companies in order to advocate for the legalization of cannabis. Now, this is prima facie nonsense,, as we all know, the pharmaceutical companies don't lobby for the legalization of cannabis. They lobby against the legalization of cannabis.

They've always been the biggest pushers of marijuana prohibition because they always feared that cannabis was going to be a competition to them, just like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine and they didn't want that kind of competition so it got everything about it wrong uh so um meanwhile news guard is demanding that all these news organizations conform to the government narratives because again created by the government created via microsoft and the 10 million dollar contract from darpa um the reason magazine has an article about how florida fixed its vote counting problem after the 2000 election remember the 2000 election the hanging chads the supreme court case and all the rest of the stuff they said so look at 2020 when everything was chaotic. It wasn't chaotic in Florida.

Four hours after the polls closed on election day, the major networks of TV and the Associated Press had declared a winner in the crucially important, always bitterly contested state of Florida. And that was it. There were no takebacks. There were no corrections. There were no recounts. There was no need for intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court. And yet just 20 years earlier, it had been the center of the Bush-Gore election. It all focused around hanging chads and all the rest of this stuff. Now, they talk about what Florida did to fix this, but I want to not get into the details of that. You can take a look at the article at Reason Magazine. I think that the fact that they got this stuff and there's

no recounts and they're not waiting for days to get stuff out there, they got it all within four hours, as a matter of fact. As I said, only California and Texas had more ballots to count. And yet, in Florida, 93% of the total was publicly reported by 9.30 p.m., just 90 minutes after the polls had closed. And they didn't change any of it. None of it changed. They had it right away. Which is, as you would expect. My question would be, why does it take so long?

Why does it take 90 minutes? I mean, you ought to have it a lot faster than that, right? But still, it had 11 million people vote in Florida. Only California and Texas had more ballots to count. They had the results in 90 minutes. Let me tell you, I think it's one of the reasons why, not just the policies of the Santas in terms of pro-life pro-family pro parents, but I think it was also the fact that they

weren't messing with the vote totals, which is why he did so well, does the Republican party care about fixing the problems of 2020, where did we get those problems of 2020? We got them from Donald Trump's lockdown and mail out the ballots election. And we're still going down that road. Why is that? It's yet another Trump precedent, another Trump precedent of chaos, fraud, and corruption. And it's being propagated in most of these, most every state Republican or Democrat still propagating this. Why are we still doing that? It's not necessary to do it.

We know that it is fraudulent. And instead, what you see is that Trump says, well, we're going to do ballot harvesting better than them. Yeah, we're going to double down on this fraud. This guy is a casino owner who had six casinos go bankrupt. Maybe people ought to start thinking about integrity and transparency and principles instead of Trump and his precedents. And we look at Pennsylvania, for example, they had a 25% of their vote total left to count at 9 00 AM the. the morning after Election Day.

Pennsylvania quickly became ground zero for legal wrangling over the results with a lot of conspiracy theories. You see, if you want to have corrupt elections, and if you want to have conflict, chaos, and civil war, then you want to do it the Trump way. Otherwise, you could have an honest election. We'll be right back. Hear news now at APSradioNews.com

Thank you for your unwavering support and for joining me in this new musical adventure. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Christmas night. Well, as we talk about voter fraud, sorry, I had a coughing spree here during the break.

We have Republicans that are very concerned because the Democrats, like Michelle Wu, who doesn't want any white people at her parties, wants foreigners to vote in the elections. I wonder why. And so the Republicans have said, well, well, uh, what we're going to do is we're going to have people identify themselves. Uh, I haven't seen specifically how they say they're going to do it. I'm telling you, it's going to be through, we verify or through something like that. And the same way that now, when you go to the airport, when you want to travel over the holidays, uh, the TSA has got new means that they're going to use to screen people. And we're supposed to be grateful that as they intrude themselves into our lives, as they put these obstacles in the way of

our liberty that they have absolutely no authority for, we're supposed to somehow be grateful that they're going to streamline this process. One of the reasons why I say there's no place like home for the holidays, I'm not interested in flying anymore, but they're going to make this like self-checkout at the grocery store. Self-service screening. Isn't that great? Another innovation from the people who want to surveil and control your every movement and everything that you buy at the grocery store as well.

The TSA is setting up a self-service screening prototype in Vegas, expected to be complete by late January. And what this will do is you'll get into a little kiosk and it will do its thing. Scanning your body, I guess, scanning your face, whatever it's going to scan and looking at all your possessions. And then if you get the okay, it'll automatically open the door for you to go to the next place, like rats in a maze. If not, it'll open the door that you came in on, and you'll have to go back and talk to somebody to see why it won't let you go

i'm sure it'll be looking not just at your pockets but it'd be looking to scan your face because that's what they're also rolling out everywhere the dhs is also exploring micro x pod based design which would be ready by 2025 what they would do with that and pull a picture up of that travis it is uh there's a whole bunch of like hexagonal pods it really does look like rats in a maze um yeah there you go look at that isn't uh isn't freedom wonderful don't you love living in a free country like america they screen people you know we screen people more than any other country. When we went to China post 9-11, and what was it? Was it about 2005 or 2006 or so?

When we went there, you know, we had, there were announcements in the airport terminal coming back from China. If you're flying to America, get there early. We got extra screening to do for you. No other country does this kind of garbage. And again, they confiscated a whole bunch of toys that Karen had bought for her daughter to keep her occupied. And she didn't speak English and didn't know what was happening. It was going to be a very long flight. They just went through the luggage and stole all that stuff.

Anyway, what is nice about all this stuff is that it's going to allow travelers to get through security without having to show a boarding pass or in some cases even a physical id well i guess it's because they've got your biometrics right isn't that nice you know first they steal your liberty then they dole it back to you if you got a digital id and then they brag about the convenience of your new slavery i played a clip a few months ago about how the ukrainian government probably paid for by the american government put together an ad talking about what life was going to be like in 2030 after they had beat the russians and then beat their own people into submission uh bag tagged and identified them, and then how you're going to be able to get all of these wonderful government-improved,

government-mandated things that you have to go through. All those are going to be streamlined with this new app and biometrics that they've got for you. Let's look eight years ahead. 2030. The history of the new Ukraine is studied all over the globe. Why? Because Ukraine became the most digital and convenient country in the world. Scripts have replaced bureaucrats.

500,000 former public servants are successfully integrated in the new economy. No more red tape, but paperless. No more banknotes, but cashless. Yes, we became the first country to abandon paper money. Ukraine now has the best tax system for the IT industry and the most affordable e-residency. Thanks to Ukrainian engineers and programmers, the R&D centers of the world's top technology companies operate successfully, and Ukraine ranks first in the world by the number of startups per capita. Ukrainian courts are guided by artificial intelligence, and all notarial acts take place online. Ukrainian customs is fully automatic and the fastest in the world.

Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone. Because of war and internal migration, we have built the most flexible and modern digital education. Brave military and civilians get quality treatment with modern remote monitoring and e-health systems. Ukraine also has the most effective cyber defense in the world. After the horrors of 2022, Ukraine focused on security systems. Now every production facility has its air defense system, and the sleep of Ukrainians is protected by an ultra-modern iron dome. The Ukrainian government is digital, more like an IT company in terms of the efficiency of

implementing decisions, and one can register a land plot, start construction, open a business or get a license, and register a car or real estate from a smartphone automatically in one click. Ukraine is the freest and digital. This is all because international partners and the world's leading technology companies supported the Digital for Freedom initiative and united to help Ukraine recover through digitalization. Building a new Ukraine together, free and the fastest brave and digital yeah free and brave yeah yeah uh digital freedom yeah that's uh you know war is peace all the rest of this stuff and of course what they will be leading the world in and already are is in depopulation

thanks to war and that's what they're going to bring to us as well yeah they kill so many of their people then now the ones who are left are completely enslaved to the government and all the government demands of you now you can easily satisfy this with a digital id isn't that great that's your freedom for you well how is this rolling out besides the tsa again the tsa has always taken the lead in all this stuff. The 21st century got kicked off with 9-11. Then the other shooter dropped again two months. They practiced the dark winter two months before 9-11 and then practiced it for 20 years.

And then Trump dropped that bomb on us with the so-called pandemic and the lockdowns and the rest of this stuff. And so, you know, we really kicked off the 21st century into an authoritarian control surveillance century. And now you can see this in a lot of different places. The Carolina Panthers football team is going to launch an AI facial recognition ticket entry. But, you know, it's all for convenience, isn't it? Yeah. Do you really need that? You can get into the Bank of America stadium, Bank of America, the people who are ratting

out and snitching and trying to incriminate people January the 6th. Anybody that was there in the area, Bank of America sent information about them to the FBI. And so it's fitting that they would have this kind of Stasi system at the entrance into the Bank of America Stadium. Automating the check-in experience will make it all that much easier for ticket holders to get into the stadium and enjoy our events, they say. See, it's just going to be easy.

And I look at this bank of america stadium it really does remind me of uh back to the future and biffs america doesn't it we went to universal studios i think it's back in 2015 because we weren't going into the park but karen and i were in florida oh we had to take care of some business that was their family business used to live in florida and so we went around a lot of the old that was their family business used to live in florida and so we went around a lot of the old familiar haunts and things and went back to the university where we met and uh you know some other things like that and so we went to orlando and just kind of drove around to see how the place had changed and said well let's go over you know they've got

a food court at universal maybe we can find something to eat there that's not you know some kind of fast food thing or something and uh so that's not, you know, some kind of fast food thing or something. And so we went over there and thought we'd just kind of walk around. They had stuff set up like airport security. We had to pull out everything out of your pockets and get scanned and all the rest of this stuff. I was just fed up with it. No, we didn't bother to go. But this is rolling out into all these other places, but it begins with TSA and they're the forefront of all of this stuff. Now they're doing the facial biometrics that they're collecting on people, all the rest of the stuff.

And so now you got the sporting stadium there, Bank of America Stadium. Bank of America gets their name on it, but it's the taxpayers who heavily subsidize these things. As I pointed out yesterday, talking about that $700 million contract for that baseball player. Now, you know, a decade ago, it was, um,

$700 million is what the taxpayers were giving for these stadiums for these billionaires. And, we don't get our name on it anyway, uh, by combining, not that I would care, but by combining facial recognition and ticket scanning to authenticate the identity of a ticket holder,

we will have user-friendly, low-friction ticketing and entry access experience. Isn't that nice? But, you know, I think it's kind of another benefit for the football team, the stadium. I think if they're going to tie your face to your ticket, maybe they do that to stop transferring a ticket to somebody else, to stop scalping of tickets and things like that. You see, there's always something in there for them that's financial. I think that's there. And it's very convenient, isn't it?

For you to have to try to match your face to a ticket when you buy something. Oh, that just makes everything so much more convenient and frictionless. I don't think so. I don't think so. I, you know, I think that that is something that is, if not cumbersome, it should be unless they've got everything set up in your phone and all the rest of this stuff. They've got their massive databases that they're sharing or that your phone is sharing with them to make that all convenient to do surveillance and control of you. And so the company that they're going to be using for facial recognition so that you can get into the football stadium is a company called Wicket. That's not, that ends with a T, not a D.

I would call them Wicked, but they are Wicked. Wicked. I guess it's like, I guess the idea is that it's like playing croquet where you got to go through the Wicked, right? You got to knock the ball through the little gate all the time. I guess that's their analogy, but I would say they're wicked. Anyway, they are using facial recognition, and they're trying to roll this out to a lot of different places,

to stadiums, any kind of entertainment venue, to replace ticketing with face payment, analytical surveillance, and more. In their press release, they announced that they have now set up a partnership with a real-time AI data company called Lava. So it's not enough to have facial recognition. Now they want to take your facial recognition and they want to put it into a database. Why is that necessary?

Facial authentication is a privacy first solution. Really? That enhances the fan, the guest and the employee experiences by enabling frictionless. There's that word again, frictionless touch points that delight users. Aren't you delighted to go through TSA? Won't you be delighted to go through these facial scanning things and a

background check based on your face and all this before you can go to a football game? Just count me out of this new society. It's not normal. Once a fan's identity has been authenticated, the wicked system notifies the lava loyalty platform, a loyalty platform. That's the justification that they have for doing all this so we're going to pay the expense to have an artificial intelligence company come in and and do real-time analysis of your face and look through

our database so we can give you some bonus points. Is that what this is all really about? It may be a loyalty program, but folks, this is about loyalty to the agenda du jour of the government. What is today's agenda? Are we selling today? Are we selling a special on a pandemic virus? Are we selling a special on climate disaster?

What is the agenda of the day? Is it a war? Well, if you oppose the agenda of the day, then I guess you're not going to get your loyalty clearance, right? Or your loyalty bonus points, as they would put it. This partnership has allowed the firms to create the new Express Beer service. They said they've already integrated these, you know, the wicked people and the lava people just erupting all over the place. Anyway, they've already implemented this

with the Cleveland Browns so that you can buy beer. And they call it Express Beer. Express Beer uses the same facial authentication technology that's going to be used for wicked i guess this brings all new meaning to beer face doesn't it that's the face you make when you're staring into their cameras for your facial id stuff nothing of course sinister about this. And of course, nothing can go wrong, can it? With the TSA and their no-fly lists, with maybe the no-fan list.

You can't go to the football games. Why? I can't tell you. You've just been rejected. Sorry, our artificial intelligence has rejected. That's the way it's going to work, frankly. I think you were at January the 6th or something. I'm sorry, you can't go to any football games anymore. Yeah, you didn't go inside. You didn't do anything, but Bank of America told us that you were there in that area buying stuff on January the 6th,

so you've been banned from all football games. Maybe that's it, huh? Well, take a look at right aid the federal trade commission the ftc has just come after right aid why well because they had facial recognition in their stores tied to artificial intelligence i was looking at a database to decide whether you were on a list of naughty people or nice people and And they did it year-round, not just Christmas time. For five years, they had a database. And this is very much like the TSA's no-fly list. The first report I did when I went to InfoWars was a guy that got stuck in Hawaii. They wouldn't let him fly.

It's like, well, how do I get out of here? And then, you know, he was on his way to see his wife who was stationed in the military in Japan. And he had made connecting flights across the United States. And these were on military planes. They'd flown across the United States. He'd flown to the California coast. Then he'd flown from California to Hawaii.

He was on the plane to go from Hawaii to Japan. And just before it took off, federal agents come in and drag him off the plane. Won't tell him why he's on a no-fly list, but they didn't catch it until then. And then, no, you can't fly anywhere. It got to be a very complicated thing, but he eventually got people on his side who got him off the list somehow, but he was never allowed to see why he was on the list. Isn't that a violation of the Bill of Rights? Aren't you supposed to be told about the charges against you? Aren't you supposed to be able to defend yourself against those?

Aren't you supposed to be able to confront your accusers in an open trial? No, none of that is in place. Whether you're talking about no-fly lists or you're talking about government censorship through their social media puppets. And so the FTC has now banned Rite Aid from using their AI facial recognition technology, but only for five years. Only for five years. I guess by that time they figure the software is going to be up to speed or something. Rite Aid allegedly failed to prevent harm to consumers, failed to have reasonable procedures, according to the FTC in place to, uh, tie to this facial recognition program that was

supposedly going to detect shoplifters. And Rite Aid started making their own little database of shoplifters based on grainy pictures that employees had taken or things that they'd seen other places. It really wasn't very accurate, but the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection said that Rite Aid's quote, reckless use of facial surveillance systems left its customers harmed and facing

humiliation after falsely tagged consumers, often women, people of color as shoplifters, or maybe, you know, keyed off of that beer face they had. Um, so I guess you got on a no shop list.

Kind of like the TSA is no fly list. In some instances, right? Eight employees followed people who had been incorrectly matched around the store made them leave before they completed their purchases yeah you're no shoplift call the police on them publicly accused them of shoplifting according to the ftc complaint we live in a stasi. Maybe they should call one of these apps, one of these programs, maybe they should call it Stas-AI.

That'd be catchy, right? Stasi. You could even call it the, this is the security trained and zero theft artificial intelligence. Stasi. So I'm just waiting to see when one of these companies are going to use that name thousands that's how many false positive matches right aids system generated from 2012 to 2020 they use low quality photos some of which came from right aids security cameras or employees

phones or news stories they're grabbing this stuff from everywhere. The technology falsely matched people with customers who were flied, quote, based on activity thousands of miles away, and sometimes flagged the same person at dozens of different stores across the country to create their no-shop list. So, you know, this is what we have to understand is going to happen, what it's going to be like life in the Orwellian society. You know, when I think about Brazil, one of my favorite films done by Terry Gilliam, who was the illustrator for Monty Python, it's kind of his dark comedy take of 1984. And the whole thing begins with a case of mistaken identity.

They're looking for a guy who is a terrorist. I forget if his name was Tuttle or Buttle, but the printer malfunctions after a fly falls into it because all the technology is kind of messed up as it always is going to be in a totalitarian society. And they get Buttle instead of total the guy that they're actually looking for is um a heating and air conditioning engineer who doesn't like bureaucracy and so he goes around and fixes people's stuff because they can't get the heating and air conditioning people come around on a timely basis and it's authorized unauthorized repair and that classifies him as a terrorist. Is that beyond the scope of the country that we live in right now,

where you have parents who show up and, thank you, Travis, he didn't know I was going to talk about this. I didn't either. Where you have people who show up, and this is how it begins. This lady is taking a bath, and all of a sudden there's an explosion, and they just break through the ceiling and all the rest of the stuff. At the point in time where he did that in 1984, the kind of over-the-top SWAT raids that now become commonplace was really, really over the top. But of course, there they are coming through the ceiling. They bag and tag the guy and take him away uh but uh you

know is that really all that strange compared to where we are today i mean isn't the biden administration headed down this road we're going to ban heating and air conditioning units why are they going to ban the repair of them right uh because they got to get them out of there so they don't want them repaired um i wouldn't be surprised and if we got people speaking at um school board meetings labeled as terrorists by the biden administration how far away are we from brazil not very far at all uh this is why you look at these these dark satanic uh dystopian even satires that are, you know, 40 years old. And it's like, yeah, that's where we live now. You know, here we are 40 years after 1984 and it's all around us, isn't it? GE is releasing new smart ovens,

smart self monitoring and reporting technology to spy on you. Remember a few years ago when David Petraeus was head of the cia and he said yeah we're going to have appliances that are going to be spying on people and it's going to be great you know we'll know what people are doing and going to be able to spy on them through their appliances and we reported that and they said you're a bunch of paranoid conspiracy there so it's like he said it and here it is it's right here and you can pay extra to get your spy technology uh it's going to be powered by the way by google's generative ai do you really want this stuff telling you how to cook this the same uh stuff that is hallucinating it's going to hallucinate about your food or maybe what it'll be used for maybe it'll be used to

report how much meat you're eating. Well, definitely will, because that's really the purpose of this. They're allied in this particular rollout. They're allied with Kroger and other companies in other areas. If Kroger is not in your area, they'll be partnering with him. And so what this is going to do is monitor and report back to Kroger everything that you're eating. So then they can, you know, present stuff to you or they can take that information they can sell to somebody else or they can use it to try to entice you to come back into their store, give you a special. If you haven't been in for a while, maybe they'll give you a special on what

you like to eat and they know what you like to eat because your oven has told them. Smart ovens for dumb people who don't realize how their goose is being cooked that's really the title of this segment if we put it up as a segment i think um how long is it going to be before kroger and the smart oven powered by google's ai says i'm sorry but you've had too much meat this month for you and you really shouldn't be doing it. And then eventually it'll say, you can't do this. You can't do this. One more touch will add all the necessary ingredients to their Kroger family of companies cart.

A simple QR code scan will guide owners to link their Kroger account the first time they try this feature, and then it'll report everything to Kroger so they can monetize you, right? You are the product and all of this stuff. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back and we're going to talk about war next. And then we've got pharma up and in the third hour, we're going to be joined. I've got to move through these two topics pretty quickly. And third hour, we've got Eric Peters, we're going to be joined. I've got to move through these two topics pretty quickly. In the third hour, we've got Eric Peters who's going to be joining us.

And we're going to be talking about what is happening not just to cars but to transportation. A lot of news about that. We'll be right back. Looking for better information? APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com La tradizione che tu non sapi, tu non lo sapi, tu non lo sapi, tu non lo sapi, tu non lo sapi, tu non lo sapi. David Knight Show. Well, we've had a couple of things that have happened in just the last day or so. Captured in this headline by Brian Schlohavid, Health Impact News.

Full-scale naval war breaks out in the Red Sea as cyber attacks take down a fuel station distribution in iran now isn't that interesting because we were just told that we had a cyber attack from iran against some of our stuff and i said well how do we know that because again vault 7 is out in the wild that was the cia's program to disguise in the nsa to disguise when they hack into and they can make it look like they're anybody they can make it look like they're anybody they can make it look like they're Iran everybody's got that software now so it could have been anybody who hacked in including our own government but now uh is this why the Washington Post New York Times mainstream media why they were all talking about this Iran cyber attack to lay it

down so that it's okay for us to do the same thing to them you know it's very interesting years ago Catherine Herridge when she was still at Fox News, she left Fox News because she was only making $900,000 a year. And she was just outraged. You've got people like Megyn Kelly who are making $25 million a year. I'm only making $900,000. They won't give me a raise over that. So she left and she went to some other network where they paid her what she wanted.

But I remember when she was still at Fox News, she was talking about how we had to ramp up. Catherine Herridge was the national security and surveillance type stuff correspondent for Fox News. So she's a mouthpiece for the Operation Mockingbird stuff. And as evidence of that, she goes on with fox news and she says yeah you know we got to be really careful about cyber security we need to give them everything they want and we got to pass this cispa bill and all the rest of this stuff and here's why you know just look at stutz night you know stutz net and how all the damage that it did and everything you know that's good stutz net was our thing stuts net was

what we unleashed on the iranians to shut down and eat up all of their computer this worm that just kept going and chewing through everything uh we unleashed that on their computers and the places where there are nuclear facilities to completely shut them down and you know as soon as they would connect some other um you know completely shut down the thing so they'd bring in their backup drives well you know the worm went over and corrupted those things as well i mean it was very very effective but that was our thing yeah nice uh nice infrastructure you got there be ashamed if anything were to happen to it right we're the mafia We're the protection racket.

That's what she was selling. That's why she was worth the big bucks, I guess, to the people in the Pentagon. Other, you know, the intelligence community. Anyway, in addition to that, uh, there is a full-blown naval war, as you know, uh, with the, uh, uh, drones being sent against a shipping, um Taiwanese container shipping line, Evergreen, and a Belgian tanker joined the list, the growing list of major supplying firms that are not going to go through the Red Sea

as some ships have now been hit. And big ones too. BP is not going to do that. And you've got a lot of ships that are going to be going, instead of going through the canal there and the Red Sea Strait, they're going to go all the way around the tip of Africa, which is going to add a lot more time and expense because you've got about 10% to 12% of global trade

passes through the Red Sea. And it's now, for the most part, closed to traffic, as Bloomberg says. 8.8 million barrels per day of oil going through there. Nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit. Global traffic will now be rerouted through the Cape of Good Hope, the tip of Africa there, adding 40% to the distance of the voyage and time and also to cost. So we're all going to be paying for this.

And the Suez Canal, their 46 container ships have now diverted around the Cape of Good Hope rather than going through the Red Sea. And so, and it just keeps increasing. We just had, as I said, BP say they're not going to do it. So the Pentagon has launched what they call Operation Prosperity Guardian. And the question is, whose prosperity are they guarding? I think they're guarding the prosperity of the military industrial complex. Because this ever-escalating war is not about our prosperity. It's about the prosperity of the war machine.

Wars make countries poor, and they kill us as well. The operation will be within the framework of the existing Combined Maritime Force 153, a partnership of 39 nations focusing on countering this. Do these other countries, do they have missiles that are capable of defending themselves against drones at sea? Just asking for a friend. Or are they going to be sitting ducks out there, you know? Well, look, you know, we had the Albanian naval ship or the Argentine General Belgrade.

It just got taken out by, you know, they've got some world war two vintage thing. They take out a mothballs and put it in as part of the coalition. It gets taken out by an train, an Iranian drone. Now we've got an excuse to go to the next level of war, right? Is that what this is really about? I mean, you got the American ships, you got the British, maybe the French or whatever. These other countries, do they have the ability to take out these drones? We'll see.

Or maybe this is just another setup to get us further in. Australia does. Australia has bought some of these ships from America. They're reportedly in talks with the Pentagon over a U.S. send australian warship to the red sea to assist this is folks this is a training exercise i think for the most part uh are the u.s media failing to report all the current cyber attacks that are happening everywhere well you know goat tree told me we talked to goat tree last week and um he uh contacted me at the end of the week he said you know i said holidays are going to be a busy time in terms of cyber attacks because you got the core people are taking time off. And so you're going to have, um, uh, you know, people who, um, may not be as quick

to respond to some of this stuff, put into jobs that they don't necessarily typically. And, uh, but he said, at the end of the week, he contacted me and he said, boy, uh, the cyber attacks have just lit up never seen anything like it gonna be a busy holiday he said well there's many reports of cyber attacks on the news right now but there's many many more that are not being talked about as a matter of fact they actively discourage that and they give companies when they are been attacked they give them uh protection so they don't have to disclose that necessarily but when we talk about operation prosperity as i said before who is this prosperity for well it's for our guardians who get us into wars the military industrial complex because as

i mentioned at the top of the program we're going to be taking out their $2,000 drones with our $2 million missiles. We spend a thousand times more on that to take those things out. And so the question is, you know, can the feds continue to print money faster than the hoodies can manufacture these drones? When you look at this, as I said, this is like asymmetric warfare that has now gone to the sea. Asymmetric warfare, you come in, massive shock and awe, your advanced tanks

and your advanced planes and everything, and you just wipe out an area and then you occupy it. And that's when the asymmetric warfare begins. That's when they have the improvised explosive devices

on the roads and the sniper attacks and the suicide bombs and all the rest of the stuff that just goes on and on and on. Just drones on and on and on. attacks and the suicide bombs and all the rest of stuff that just goes on and on and on. Just drones on and on and on. Well, now they've got drones that they're sending against the naval ships, very cheap drones.

In the same way, very unsophisticated drones from Yemen, from the Houthis. I mean, they're probably provided by Iran. And it's not just even a question of money, because we seem to have an unlimited supply of money, thanks to the Federal Reserve and this fiat money that is out there. Again, go to DavidKnight.Gold for Forget About It. Tony Arteman has a great way for you to get outside of this corrupt, collapsing system. Who knows what these people are capable of doing. But make sure that you're outside. You've got something that is outside of this corrupt collapsing system. Who knows what these people are capable of doing, but make sure that you're outside, you've got something that is outside of this system, something, and

Tony is a great source for gold and silver. Uh, you can even start to save it on a monthly basis with his Wolfpack and even train your kids with his, um, uh, junior Wolfpack stuff, the Cub group. So when we look at this, one person says, well, the cost offset is not on our side. We're paying $1,000 more for these things than they are. They said they've got some other things. They could take them out with guns at a closer range, but they don't want to take that risk. So they use longer range missiles.

And that's what the Pentagon is not going to tell you exactly what they're doing, but the people who are in the business know, uh, these things cost 2.1 million. They've got some other ones that cost only 1.8 million, but we don't have anything that's cheap like those people do besides the money that's involved there. What about the manufacturing process? Is it, um, uh, a lot, lot easier to make these crude drones than it is for us to make these very expensive missiles? I would imagine there are a lot of mission-critical electronics in there that may not be readily available. Destroyers are limited in how many missiles they've got.

They've got about 90 or so missile tubes, so they've got to go back and get more. But then, you know, they've got a lot more destroyers that they're putting in there to minimize that. But when you look at the cost, again, you know, we're using these $2 million missiles to take out $2,000 drones. Go back to the asymmetric nature of Reagan's attacks on Gaddafi. You know, Gaddafi was a terrorist before he calmed down, and then later they killed him after he no longer attacking people. But when he was a terrorist and, you know, they had the Lockerbie Scotland terrorist attack,

killing all those people on that plane, Reagan unleashed a bunch of cruise missiles, blowing up Gaddafi's tents in the desert. You know, that was a good example of this. But when you look at the cost of a lot of stuff that we have, yes, it's very sophisticated. However, because we have in the military industrial complex, we used to have about 50 contractors not that long ago. Now we're down to five. Same type of consolidation that you've seen in the banks. Same type of consolidation that you've seen in entertainment and news and all the rest of this stuff.

And what does that come with? Well, that comes with price gouging and corruption. And so you have Boeing, which had been selling a trash can for $300 to the AWACS. These are the big planes that are basically doing reconnaissance and feeding all that back. So the AWACS plane was based on a civilian plane that they, so they couldn't charge more than they would charge for the same part on a civilian plane. And they were charging $300 for a cash trash can.

Well, I don't know about you, but I've never bought a $300 trash can. I can't imagine how fancy that thing would be. What is it about a three? How in the world could you justify a $300 trash can even for commercial flight usage? Right. But then after they retired its commercial usage and they said, well, now we only make this plane for the military. Then Boeing was able to raise the price to whatever they wanted to. And they raised the price from $300, which is outrageous to $52,000 for a trash can.

These are the types of things we've always seen all of our life, you know, $600 toilet seat and stuff like that. Well, now we've got a $52,000 trash can. And they're not the only ones to do it. You know, Lockheed Martin and some electric conduit that they were, they just raised the price on that by 1,400% increase. So this is the corruption that is part of the guardians of our prosperity. I think they're guarding their own prosperity, don't you?

I think that we need to rethink this whole American Empire thing. Zelensky, however, does not want us to. As a matter of fact, maybe he is the most expensive missile of the Pentagon. This guy's been shooting his mouth for a long time. They got him aimed at the Russians. He plans to

mobilize 500,000 more victims to go die for him in his manufactured war. He admitted that's been a difficult year, but he vows to fight on till the last Ukrainian, essentially, which is, that means they got another 500 somewhere, 500,000 that they can throw into the fight. They say that Putin is losing 1,000 soldiers a day and a suicidal meat assault on six fronts. Well, I don't know if this is true or not. It would not be surprising to anybody who knows history. If you look at what Ulysses Grant did in the end of the Civil War,

he had absolutely no regard for his own soldiers. I mean, they really were thrown in and quote-unquote meat assaults, just slaughter of his own troops. This is what people do. And of course, we said at the beginning of all this, this is what the Russians have done in war after war. They don't care how many casualties,

or their generals don't care how many casualties they take. There's absolutely no concern about that. And we've had our own generals who have done the same type of thing. We're going to take a quick break. And before Eric joins us, I want to talk a little bit about what is happening in the pharmaceutical front and that war against us. But real quickly on Rumble, Nick Allenbecker, thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. And he wishes us Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, Nick. I appreciate that. And on Rumble, Rothar63, thank you for the tip. He says, thanks, David, for exuding integrity in a world of endless mediocrity. Well, I appreciate that.

That is really kind of you to say that. We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. You're listening to the david knight show well as i said at the beginning of the program more talk of blood and i'm not talking about the wars i'm talking about blood here you know they're poisoning our blood says trump of the immigrants and yet he's the big blood poisoner and now we've got tuckerson and Dan Bongino getting together. And Tucker Carlson says that their opponents in the media are your blood enemies.

Well, these people want blood everywhere, don't they? Well, you know, life is in the blood. And that's what the pharma pushers and the father of the vaccine, Trump, went after. They concluded that the legacy media are not Americans' friends. These are your blood enemies, said Tucker Carlson. So here we have our Hegelian dialectic. You've got the Mockingbird press of the CIA and NSA left, and then you've got the Trump-Mog press of the right wing and they're all getting you ginned up to kill each other. Blood everywhere. You know, the migrants are poisoning our blood.

It's a blood enemy from the media that is out there with you. Folks, these are the people who cheered Trump. These are the people who keep silent about the poison. These people like Tucker Carlson are backstabbers and armjabbers. That's what they are. Still not talking about this poison that's being injected into people. Instead, your real enemy is CNN. Bongino said nobody trusts them after Spygate, after the Russia hoax, after the impeachment

disaster excuse me after the impeachment disaster well guess what nobody trusts the maga bird press either after lockdowns after being called non-essential after having masks put on our face after having the ballots mailed out to everybody and then having trump wring his hands about how corrupt the election is. Who knew? Who knew, right? After the January the 6th riots where he lures these people in, then throws them under the bus and walks away. And then, of course, the poisoning of our bloods through the jab poison.

Yes, all of that was from President Trump. Those were all Trump precedents. Why does anybody trust Trump? All of that was from President Trump. Those were all Trump precedents. Why does anybody trust Trump? Well, they trust Trump because they trust Tucker, and they trust Dan Bongino, and they get you to trust Trump. They seek your destruction, he continued. And what is the evidence of that? Is it the people who died and continue to die from the jab, from the poisoning?

No, he talks about January 6th. He says Michael Byrd murdered this girl. The media are totally fine with that. Well, again, I'm not supporting that, but again, how many more people have been killed by Pfizer-Moderna that the guy that they want you to follow put out there? So they're happy seeing Ashley Babbitt get murdered. How would they feel about my murder? Well, you know, he did take the jab.

Dan Bongino said, I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it. If I got to shut my show down, because who is it works for? Cumulus Media or something like that. If they forced me to take that, I'm not not doing it and then he stopped talking about it and he stayed on air and then later on he said i really wish i hadn't taken it he said these people are your blood enemies said tucker carlson and then b said, yeah, they freaking hate you.

They think you're a piece of excrement. They hate your guts. Well, I would say the same thing about the people who called us nonessential, who put masks on our face, the people who locked us down, locked us up in some cases, and then injected us with poison. You think that they hate our guts? This is why I despise Trump and his sycophant press the maga bird media so you've got right now this is being pushed by mainstream media axios trump not trump drudge had this up on his site pull this up travis the covet 19 levels high ahead of the holiday travel season and uh so they've got a map there of all the hot

spots of covid did you know we have hot spots of covid in the united states now do you know anybody that's got covid of course not and here it is look at that red map oh red rum red rum i mean this is scary this is like straight out of the shining and they're shining all the red stuff right in your face there very scary almost every state is reporting data that shows high levels uh and uh and what what are they doing to find these high levels is it anybody who's sick no they're testing the wastewater. And they say that they're finding the COVID virus in wastewater. What a load of excrement they're feeding you. Yeah, they said that COVID can still make people plenty sick and force them to miss school and work and

holidays and stuff no no no kobe didn't force anybody the pandemic didn't do anything it was uh trump and president fauci who was doing that they're the ones who force people to do this and force people to do that axios is just lying to you they say it also remains a potentially fatal threat for vulnerable groups like the elderly and the immunocompromised. There have been 67,200 deaths related to COVID

so far this year. Really? And then they compare that and say, but that's down significantly from our lives about last year and the year before that.

250,000 last year and then 463,000 the year before that. 250,000 last year and then 463,000 the year before that. Yeah, so this is all about wastewater. I wonder if they saw any signs of fluoride in the wastewater. If they did, they ought to report that. That's a real health concern. What about the persistent accumulation of all these pharmaceutical drugs that the waste systems can't filter out?

It just keeps accumulating there in the water supply. all these pharmaceutical drugs that the waste systems can't filter out. It just keeps accumulating there in the water supply. Not worried about any of that. Instead, you should be afraid. You should be very, very afraid of COVID coming back, and we need to institute all these measures that were done by Trump. Well, I got this from Handy. He has his sub stack that is set up.

He is talking about what he's seeing on the ground there as an EMS person. He said the big elephant in the room is still excess death and disability. I've not personally seen any big changes in that trend in quite some time in this area. He's in the Atlanta area, but he said, I would like to share two interesting recent encounters. First was an elderly gentleman who fell. I couldn't help but notice the man's wife was wearing a disposable mask. She told us that her husband, quote, has COVID, unquote. What I found was an elderly gentleman who wasn't in any obvious distress, but he did take blood thinner.

Blood thinners require a little extra precaution, especially when trauma is involved. And on the way to the hospital, he reminded me that he has COVID. I've been told I got COVID. You know that guy, be careful. I said, you look like you're doing okay with it. That's good.

Now you're going to have natural immunity. His reply was, I don't think there's a cure for COVID. I've had every shot, every booster, and I keep getting it over and over again. And now they've got me on Paxlovid. Isn't that sad? This is what lies and deception and gaslighting can do to people. It can do this to the elderly. It can have the children cutting off their genitals.

I mean, it's just amazing what the press is capable of. This is why free speech is important. A second gentleman, a second one was a gentleman in his 50s. I'm fairly certain his medical complaint was unrelated to the jab. What was interesting was his experience in 2020. He told me he was in a coma for approximately two months because of COVID. And so I asked him to walk me through that experience. And he told me he was spending time with his son when he began to feel ill.

What he decided sounded like cold flu symptoms, what he described sounded like cold flu symptoms to me. He said he took himself to the hospital ER where they took him to a back room. The next thing he knew, he hears somebody saying, call his son as they took him to a back room. The next thing he knew, he hears somebody saying, call his son as they stuck him with a needle. He said that's the last thing he remembers before waking up two months later on a ventilator with a tracheostomy.

He said he had to learn to use his entire body again. He had to relearn how to talk, to eat, and to walk. They told his son that there's only a 2% chance that he would come out of the coma, the medically induced coma, so that you won't fight the ventilator. I asked him about his vaccine status. He took the first series, but no boosters you know the guy who was a famous toy designer and he did the millennium falcon model that they used in star wars they killed him that way put him on a ventilator they get 98 of the people that they put on a ventilator like that, 98% of them die, as I just said.

Put them in a coma, put this stuff in there, they get infections from that. It's amazing that he survived that for two months. But again, he had to learn how to walk and talk and eat and everything all over again. It is death by medication, death protocols that Fauci and Trump put out there for everybody. That was what was killing people in 2020, but they got a lot more than that.

And as they rolled out the Trump poison, Dan Bongino and Dr. Tucker Carlson don't seem to think that's an issue, however. So I got this also from a listener. This is an article from fort jackson a drill sergeant found dead in his vehicle the dropping light flies here he says and that's true we've seen this in many different areas we've seen in just the last week i've seen pictures of a singer dropping dead in the middle of a concert seeing pictures of a soccer player passing out like this. It continues to happen. And of course, this is a drill sergeant.

And I guess Sean Hannity would say, thank you for your service. Thank you for your service to my big pharmaceutical sponsor and for taking their jab. You know, the number of excess Americans who have died young now exceeds all the post-Vietnam war losses. Think about that. Think about that. Young people, how much they're dying. This is from the New American.

And it's very interesting because it really is focusing on the young people. I looked at it and I thought, well, you know, it looks like they're really targeting older people at the beginning of this, and we're going to take the sick people and put them in the nursing homes as Cuomo did and killed, killed the elderly and I thought, well, maybe that's to save money, you know, people at the end of life, they've got a lot of, um, medical expenses that the government has decided they're going to pick up and pay for, so they want to get you off of social security, they want to get you off of Medicare and things like that.

So maybe that's what that is about. But no, this is really about depopulation. It really is about democide. And so when questioned about this, the FDA commissioner, Robert Califf, said, I describe this as catastrophic a major decline in life expectancy among young working age people the number of unexpected or excess deaths which claimed 158 000 more lives in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period in 2019 exceeds America's combined losses from every war since Vietnam wrote the Hill last week.

And of course, the guy who says that, uh, I would consider this to be catastrophic. His agency is responsible for this. His agency. Okay. The drug that not been tested. And even as people find contamination and many other issues with it massive variation in terms of dosage he just says i don't care keeps it going as um as they comment on the new american they said some people want this problem to remain

ignored yeah you know tucker bongino they want you to focus on Trump, right? They want you to support Trump. Be loyal to Trump. The guy who did this, the guy who created a civil war within the GOP, who's in a civil war with the Democrats and who wants us all to be in a civil war. Just follow him. Don't worry about the poison. The CDC also wants us to be in a civil war just follow him don't worry about the poison the cdc also wants us to

be ignored they decided in september that they were going to archive the excess deaths web page and no longer update it this is a real red flag they know uh how incriminating this is and so they're going to pull this back. But then again, you know, the new American says, well, just take a look at the insurance companies. If you can't get the honest data from the CDC or the FDA. In 2021, the industry distributed a record $100 billion in total death benefits, up 15%.

And, you know, we've seen this before with one america amazing that the guy then said well i they said these are not covid deaths but i know it has to be a covid death and i know that nobody's going to die of a covid death if they're vaccinated therefore these are all unvaccinated people who have died from covid and we're going to charge them more money. And we just made all of that stuff up. Therefore she's made of wood, you know, as the Monty Python thing goes. Um,

so we're at 13.9 deaths per 100,000 up, perhaps 7% from where it should normally be a big change. Yet this doesn't truly eliminate the problem because the factors and mortality for those over 65 actually declined. And we were told for the longest time, well, you know, this flu is going to be most dangerous, as most flus are, to elderly people. But those over 65, it actually went down by 6%. For younger adults, however, the rate has increased by 20%, according to the CDC. That's where we are.

Mortality was 26% higher for those between 35 and 44 years old. It was 19% higher for those 25 to 34 years old. Continuing a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021, a staggering 101% and 79% above normal for those two groups. You know, when I look at this, I wonder what the, I mean, this is starting 25 to 34 and then 35 to 44. Does the insurance industry keep stats on teenagers and younger who are dropping dead as they play sports? They probably don't because there's probably not insurance policies on those people. Data showed increased cardiac mortality in all ages.

COVID deaths dropped 84% from the first three quarters of 2021 to the same period in 2023. Yet even this statistic may be suspect as stories about flu-induced and other deaths being labeled as COVID. So at the FDA, the excuse is, the FDA, the excuses,

the FDA commissioner Califf says, I think it's tobacco use of young people. What a joke. We all know how tobacco use is really minimal compared to what it was when I was growing up. Everybody was smoking everywhere. Karen and I got married in 1980. We went to the UK and we were just, you know,

living hand to mouth as we could between college and starting work and but we went um to uh scotland and we went into um there was a cheap movie theater that was there and it was very cold and there was nothing to do in this particular place and so we went to a movie theater to see a movie that was there and we had to leave before the movie was over because the air was so thick with smoke. They not only allowed, but they encouraged people to smoke and everybody was smoking. These deaths are not due to tobacco use. You just have people smoking everywhere. You see people smoking that much anymore? No. And so this is an excuse that they're putting. They're the ones who are killing people. They don't want to talk about it.

Americans are souring big time on big pharma after two needless disasters, says the headline from WND. Well, I think it's after a couple of needle disasters. The first and second shot. And maybe the boosters. That's what is getting people upset about this. And it boils down to, yes, it is the COVID vaccines that have really soured people on big pharmaceuticals, but it's also the one that is number two,

is the corruption of the opioid crisis. And yet, on all of this, Tucker's been AWOL, right? He's been AWOL and talking about his sponsors as he stokes and strokes Trump at every opportunity he gets. Sorry. We've got Eric Peters. Who's ready to join us now. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.

I'm delighted to present something born from my love for music and the Christmas season. Christmas night is a perfect accompaniment for anything from family gatherings to moments of peaceful reflection. I hope was to provide a fresh take to the soundtrack of Christmas. This collection of 20 instrumental songs brings new life to timeless Christmas classics. With original orchestrations alongside lesser known, yet equally enchanting carols. For the listeners of The David Knight Show, this is more than music.

It's part of our shared journey. Christmas Night is available at thedavidknightshow.com. May it bring a little extra joy and peace to your Christmas season. Thank you for your unwavering support and for joining me in this new musical adventure. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Christmas night. All right, and joining us now, I want to get him in before Christmas, is Eric Peters of epautos.com.

And we have so much car talk to talk about. It truly is amazing. But I want to begin with something else that you got at your site, Eric. And that is your story about this abusive relationship we're stuck in with the federal government. Tell us about that. The one that we've been in since 1865. That's right, that abusive relationship. If you leave, I'll kill you,

as you point out. I used that graphic. It shows Abraham Lincoln, and it has that caption, if you try to leave me, I'll kill you. And I thought that that was very succinct and very apt, because it distilled the whole conflict into that witty little meme. And that's exactly what it was all about. On the one hand, we have this cognitive dissonance in this country on the one hand kids are taught to revere the founding fathers the founding fathers who seceded from great britain that's right you said if you live this will kill you they said if you leave us we'll kill you as well but somehow when the southern states uh wanted to exercise the same prerogative they

felt that they were no longer uh served by being part of this union just as the colonists thought they were no longer being served by being part of the british union and they wanted to separate themselves leave in other words from what they considered to be an abusive relationship did uh exactly that. He killed, what's the estimate? Something around the order of half a million Americans were killed. Yeah, I thought it was kind of interesting. They would, again, do you believe these numbers?

Exactly the same number of people North and South, 300,000 each. Of course, that doesn't include civilian deaths, but I think that's a cooked number anyway. Yeah, and the point is, you know lincoln uh as malcolm x i think said uh lincoln didn't free the slaves he enslaved us all that's right that's right i've said the way i put it i said he ended private slavery and he made us all slaves of the public slaves of the federal government that's really what happened with all of it and you know the other thing that's interesting you know we always want to they always want to put this in the context of slavery to put it in the best possible light uh but you know the the northern soldiers didn't

call um the southern soldiers didn't say uh slavers you know uh or didn't call them uh rage accusations of them being racist or having a white privilege or anything they called them secesh yeah They called them rebels. And so it was really about the secession. And, you know, Eric, I've mentioned this on my show. I probably never told you about it, but my brother-in-law went to Italy. My wife's family is half Italian. And he went to Italy to study, and he learned Italian and met some relatives over there, and they gave him a diary that had been put together by an ancestor who fought with Garibaldi's

army there. And that was a real eye-opener for me because I realized that Italy was going through a civil war in 1861 exactly as we were, and it wasn't over slavery. It was over the same thing that our war was ultimately about, and that was a fourth turning going from an agrarian society to an industrial society. And as part of that fourth turning, you had nation states that were being created everywhere. And so you had internal civil wars that were happening everywhere in Italy and Brazil and other places. As a matter of fact, Garibaldi had fought in Brazil. I think it was Brazil or Argentina. I always get those two confused.

Anyway, he had fought over there and then went to Italy to fight. So you had this type of this thing, this consolidation because of industrialization. You had this consolidation of the nation state. You had different power centers now because of industrialization versus agrarian. And that's what that war was really about everywhere that it was happening. But of course, they they they spend this for their own particular purposes and uh i remember that uh thomas jefferson not thomas stonewall jackson um stonewall jackson said uh this is our second war of independence that's the way he saw it and that's exactly what it was you

know people have a right to self-government and and we see this all the time you know we had uh ukraine said well we're going to secede from russia and then the people in crimea say well we want to stay with russia no you can't we're going to fight you and kill you you know and if you do that that type of thing uh any relationship that isn't consensual is ipso facto abusive isn't it that's right i mean if you're compelled if you're forced by by threats of violence to remain in a relationship, I think by definition it's an abusive relationship. The left has been very successful in this etymological ledger domain of using words to change the way people think about things. You know, even you and I were just talking about this, and we used the term the Civil War. And it's a weird term because it was not a civil war.

It was an attempt by the southern states to secede, which is a very different thing. The southern states were not attempting to occupy and control the north and to control the government of the whole. They simply wanted to have their own government and their own country. And I think it's important to make that point. That's right. Yeah, that is exactly what it's two groups of people fighting to control the same country. That's very different than saying we want independence and secession but you know as this is all ramping up uh and it is getting uh it is escalating and we see this i've said many times i think that uh they're setting up donald trump and i've set him up for quite some time to

be the mason dixon line of our next civil war. Yeah, it's horrific. I, I, this morning I was struggling to even find the words, uh, after I read, uh, news about the, uh, the decision in Colorado that apparently is going to take Trump off the ballot in that state. On the basis of his having been an erection incident, an insurrectionist, not withstanding that he's not actually been formally charged or convicted. And I'm not carrying order for the orange man by any rights i'm just pointing out this this horrible winnowing that we're being kind of pushed down a cattle chute what they're trying to do they

accuse trump on the one hand of an insurrection and they're actually fomenting a real one yes because they're making people so angry and desperate you know they seem a furnace people who will constantly talk about our democracy and who then tell you who you're allowed to vote for. Now, again, I'm not carrying water for Trump, but if he's a popular candidate and people want to vote for him,

okay. And by taking him off the ballot, if they're successful in doing that, they're going to enrage people. And it seems to me inevitable that there's going to be some kind of a, an incendiary response to this. And I think that that's what they want, frankly. And they continue to do this.

I just talked earlier in the program about how they've now arrested a Blaze photojournalist who was there years after this. They continue to expand this. And I think that that's a real insurrection against our Constitution and our form of government that the Biden administration continues to cast this net wider and wider. There, I came after Sam and Toya at Infowars and other reporters. Now they're coming after this guy,

a bonafide photo journalist to attack and, you know, attack him over just being there. He didn't harm anything. He didn't interfere with anything. He's taking pictures as a protected under the constitution. And so they really do want to ramp this whole thing up. And we've got to be careful not to fall into that trap.

That's one of the things, Eric, that I'm so concerned about, because you look at it, both the people who oppose Trump and the people who support Trump. What do you think is going to happen? Because one of those groups is not going to get their way. And so whether he wins or whether he loses, you're going to have half of this country want to kill the other half of the country over Trump. That's really what we're looking at coming up in this next year. And they're egging it on. You know, the situation is very much analogous to what the situation was back in 1861 when you had this regional difference, you know, broadly brushed between north and south. And you had two mindsets, two cultures two two societies that were at odds

with one another and this was inflamed and pushed and it got to a certain point where the kinetic energy became unstoppable and events took their own course and that seems to be exactly what's happening right now with regard to what's going to happen over the course of the next 12 months and it's pretty scary and i just saw this thing from tucker carlson he and dan bongino are getting each other worked up. And Tucker Carlson, these guys are your blood enemies. No, they're not. The appropriate response is to debate this, not to kill these people.

But they're escalating this. They really want, both sides want violence. And they keep talking about blood. Trump talking about migrants being blood poisoning or poisoning your blood. And it's like, no, the person who put poison in our blood was you, pal. I mean, it's astounding. You know, I have a number of friends, including friends that I have been friends with since I was a teenager who adamantly will not deal with the business of Trump pushing those drugs on people. And his action during the final year of his presidency. It's as if that just doesn't matter.

It's as if, you know, in Orwell's 1984 Crime Stop, you know, when that thought comes up, they just blank and shut down. I say, well, what about the bump stock business? What about the red flag laws? And it's just a boom, conversation over. You're not seeing the big picture of the 5D chess. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I know. I work for a guy that was always pushing that stuff. But yeah, that is the key thing, isn't it? You know, this blind spot. And now they just shut it down. And I see that through all the press. I see it with Breitbart.

I see it with World Net Daily. You know, all of these different, I call them the MAGA bird press. You know, you had the mockingbird press for the CIA. These are the people on the other side of the Hegelian project here that are just pushing everything for Trump. They absolutely hate the vaccine. People like Wayne Allen

but they just, Trump is your savior. You know, won't say anything negative about him. And we can see how that is happening to politicians who do oppose him. But you know, let's talk about what's going on with the climate stuff here. You know, jail time for operators of gas-powered leaf blowers, hedgers, and mowers. And this is, I mean, literally jail time. This is being pushed in Washington State, where else?

And, you know, Al Gore said in 2015 that the deniers need to be punished for violating his religion. And so they want criminal sanctions. And we've got a law that's going into effect this next year in California. They passed it in 2021. But it's going to go into effect this coming year to ban all leaf blowers and lawnmowers and weed trimmers. And so if you don't do that, what are they going to do to you? Well, the one in Washington state is going to go into effect in 2026. So we'll see this one in California is going to happen first.

But this is how desperate these people are. Any gasoline, diesel powered landscaping, other outdoor power equipment is going to be contributing to climate change. And we're going to have to lock you up. But, you know, this is an inevitability, isn't it? If you accept or if you let go on challenge the premise that there is a climate crisis i.e an existential threat you know a dire emergency and we're all going to die well then it follows doesn't it that you can't permit people to operate anything that produces carbon dioxide it's even going to get to the

point i saw a news article about this earlier where they're starting to worry about people breathing yes you're exhaling carbon dioxide and you're contributing therefore to this climate crisis so you've got to get at the root of this you've got to talk about the climate crisis which is a fraud and you spell that then you can deal with this issue but you cannot play their game by accepting their terms of the debate. That's right. And when we talk about, I talk about both the pandemic thing and the, you know, the climate thing. I call them McGuffins. I was like, it's like, you know, Hitchcock. The McGuffin is just what motivates the characters, but you always got the same goal at the end

of the line. And so we can't talk about the pandemic as being real or the virus as being real. And we just like, you know, we can't say, well, this is a better way to handle the real pandemic. And we can't talk about a better way to handle the real emissions because you can't accept those false premises. You're not going to win a debate if you let the other people set up a false foundation for that debate and you go along with that. You're going to lose and so you got to stop talking about emissions because again this comes down to our breath and because this has been before the environmental movement even started you know in 1970 the first earth day they had already they based it on the population bomb so this has always been about stopping us breathing

and stopping us doing everything so it's always been about killing people breathing and stopping us doing everything. So it's always been about killing people. And so you have to understand that we just don't accept their premise that there is a virus, a pandemic or a climate crisis. You cannot play that game with them. Yeah, I try to, for example, I refer to the event that was marketed as a pandemic. And then I will deconstruct that a little bit. And I'll point out that, yeah, it's technically true. If you really want to be pedantic about it, that it was a pandemic in the sense that maybe there was a bug going around. But the thing, the key to understanding this, I think, is the disingenuousness of it.

Because to the average person, when they hear that word pandemic, it calls up immediately associations of mass death. And that's exactly what they wanted by using that term. it's a dishonest way of of having a discussion about it just the same when they talk about emissions you know which the implication there is that it's a pollutant the implication then is that you're you're causing some sort of harm to the external environment and to characterize carbon dioxide which plants need in order to create oxygen so that we can breathe as a pollutant, is preposterous. So it's really important to deconstruct all of these things. And it's a lot of work. It's literally like cleaning out the Aegean stables.

You have to parse almost every word that's used today in the debate. I wish I could remember the exact phraseology of it, but I think it was R. Emmett Terrell back in the 90s, and he talked about something he called the culture smog. Do you remember that term? Yeah, yeah. possible to have a rational discussion about anything without first going back and picking apart these words and trying to figure out what exactly is meant by that word what is the the point of view that they're trying to convey and let's discuss that before we have the broader discussion that's right and you mentioned the term smog right when's the last time we've heard the term smog nobody talks about that anymore because we got rid of it right they put on emission

controls and everything and we don't have smog but smog was just uh you know something that they used to take us to the next step right it's always astounding the neurosis of people you know that they can't okay all right i'm they're telling me that there's something that's dangerous out there i'm gonna use my eyes and look i'm looking out the window of my office the sky's blue it seems pretty nice out there just like with the virus oh it was this invisible boogeyman it's going to kill us all it's invisible it's always invisible isn't it they're literally turning the populace into a bunch of neurotic hysterically scared children who are crawling under the bed to hide because there's danger danger everywhere yeah i said everybody on pins and needles i said back in april 2020 I said we've become an OCD nation.

I mean, everybody was wiping everything down, masks and gloves. I can't get gas. I'm afraid I'm going to catch the virus. These people are crazy. Now, the pandemic was political and it was psychological. It wasn't biological, right? And that's what we have to understand. Yes, there were people who additional people who died and they were dying from stuff like the ventilators and the medical

protocols and the remdesivir and things like that that was actually killing more people and they were being paid handsomely to kill people by the administration you know shutting people in homes where they had no access to their family yes uh and giving them no hope and no reason to live you know that'll sap the life out of an elderly person. And that's what happened to a lot of them. That's right. Well, you know, getting back to this thing, face up to a year in jail in Washington state for having a leaf blower. Oh, yeah.

And then, of course, Biden is coming after ceiling fans after he shuts down our air conditioning. He wants to come after the ceiling fans and he wants to redesign them, quote-unquote, for efficiency to the extent that nobody would be able to afford them. That is really what we're looking at here. This is New York, and this is up in the Buffalo area, where they do get a lot of snow. They have the lake effect that's up there. And now what they're doing, though,

this harkens back to the kinds of controls that we had during Trump's lockdown. They want to enforce travel bans for weather and for any other catastrophes that they could imagine. Right? So it's all there. We didn't get rid of any of this stuff. They're going to bring it back.

They're going to have different MacGuffins, but they're still going to get their travel bans, which is what they really want. And in this particular case, I guess you could say it's a travel ban over the climate because it's a travel ban over the weather. But that's really what they want to have is that, and they will give travel exemptions to essential people.

Oh, isn't this the same language that Trump used? Yeah, the safety cult, I wrote about this probably 10 or 15 years ago, I predicted that it's going to metastasize to the point where if there's a snowflake wafting down from the sky, or if we're going to get some heavy rain, they're going to impose travel bans because it's not safe to be on the roads. They've already asserted and established the precedent for all of these things. And since they haven't been challenged, they're going to continue to use them. You know, everything that occurred during the past three years, none of that has yet been fully rejected as unwarranted, unreasonable, tyrannical.

They simply dialed it back a little bit and they're waiting for their next opportunity to bring it back out of the toolkit. Yeah. I remember when this happened in 2020 and they went around, they gave us a paper and said, you know, try to make a case that,

you know, this person is engaged in a central thing of informing the public or whatever and you know these are not the droids you're looking for officer let him go you know i never had i never had to use that as at a stop i never had to do any of those jedi mind tricks but that is exactly what they're saying with this uh we're going to have a list of essential employees that'll be reviewed annually and essential employers and they'll be asked to provide updates. And then you'll have to show your identity papers to the stormtroopers. Yeah. Literal stormtroopers.

They send them out when there's a storm. Yeah. And then just wait. wait, if by some happenstance the orange man is brought back into office next year, then to solve this problem of the illegal aliens who've been entering the country, Americans are just going to have to deal with showing their papers at checkpoints because we just can't have all of these illegal aliens running around through the country. We have to figure out who's here. That's what they're going to do in that case. Oh, absolutely right.

I mean, it's already started with DeSantis in Florida and the Republicans in Florida. They said, we're going to have E-Verify and we're going to make it mandatory. And see, E-Verify has been around for a while and Republicans have always referred back to that. And I've said, no, that is a trap. Do not do that. You know, we're going to leave the borders wide open, but now you Americans are going to have to get an ID. And they're already talking about this because you've got people like Michelle Wu saying, we're going to let foreigners vote in our elections. So now the Republicans would say, no, we've got to have something to prove that you're an American citizen. You're going to have to have e-verify to vote.

You're going to have to don't give me a reason to not vote. I've got many enough of them as it is. But, you know, you're going to you're going to have to show your e-verify to vote. You e-verify, as you point out, maybe to drive to the store. It's just crazy. But it's always a problem. And then they've already got the solution set up. And the solution always comes for all these problems that they've created. It always goes back to a digital ID. So you're just going to have

to have that on your phone. And fundamentally, doesn't this all earlier with regard to consent? None of us have consented to this that I'm aware of. It's just being imposed upon us, and I think the only way we're going to get out of this is to reassert uh that unless i have freely consented to something then it is illegitimate and you do not have a right to oppress me with a contract that i've been coerced into being a party to that's right yeah well i think it's going to create the necessitation for um a secession of sorts and i've talked to people from the Tenth Amendment Center and others, and they pointed out, they said, you know, the middle ground here is nullification

and non-commandeering. And those have already been upheld. And it's clear that you can have local officials who say, well, we're just not going to enforce those laws. And we saw that happening in 2020. That really is probably our best approach for all this is just to say we're going to focus on trying to get people in office locally who are not going to do this, even if the state government is doing it. The very beginning of this, I remember there was a guy who had a church that he kept open. So they put him on Fox News. He got a lot of attention. He was in Illinois. And Pritzker wanted to shut down the church there.

Well he got the sheriff there in that area, the sheriff and his deputies, because Pritzker was saying, well, we're going to send the state police down there and we're going to arrest you people if you go to church. He got the sheriff and his deputies and the sheriff went to his church, small town. And so, you know, Sheriff Taylor and Barney Fife go out and Barney puts his bullet in and they guard the people there, the church, from being arrested. And they fortunately, it didn't come to a confrontation or anything, but, you know, they were there to stop that from happening, stop them from being harassed. And so, you know, you can, if you got the right people, you can do things to stop that kind of intrusion. Yeah, noncompliance is a very powerful tool, even when it's only practiced by an individual.

But when more individuals decide to practice it, then it takes on a kind of kinetic energy all of its own. A point comes when something becomes unenforceable because it becomes ridiculous. You know, go back a few years. A really good example of that is the old 55 mile an hour national speed limit remember that oh yeah it became preposterous you know they kept they kept it in force for 20 years but everybody mocked it everybody dissipated it totally delegitimized traffic enforcement because everybody knew it was just a scam to get money and they eventually had to repeal it and that's a really good object lesson and how to deal with stuff you and I've talked before you know during the event that was marketed as a pandemic if only enough people had

refused to obey the mask mandates that's right only that had happened it would have become unenforceable within a month and the whole thing would have fallen apart if only so that's a lesson to take from that episode when the next episode uh comes up. And I tried to point out to people, you know, throughout the lockdown stuff, I said, look at what happened with medical marijuana and with pot prohibition, right? What do we have? We've got more than half of the states have said, even though it is now still listed as a class one drug and their war on drugs, more than half of the states have said, well, we're not going to enforce that. And we're not going to enforce that.

And we're not going to arrest people for that, even for recreational use in some states. So whether or not you agree with pot prohibition, pot prohibition, like all the drug war, is against the Constitution. They never passed an amendment like the 18th Amendment to prohibit either stuff, and they never had the power. And so you have somebody like Jeff Sessions who was, was you know had fully succumbed to reefer madness and he wanted to shut this down so badly but he never would and that's why i say you know he didn't want to show how they had bullied and bluffed people over this issue where they had absolutely no legal authority and that that is a real shining example uh regardless of what side you're on about marijuana or pot. That's a shining example of how you can shut down one of the biggest government agendas, the drug war.

And because that that marijuana and pot that they were locking the most people up for during the war on drugs and to shut that down. You know, the states have used it as as a way to make money and they've got their own regulations and things shut that down. Now, you know, the states have used it as a way to make money and they've got their own regulations and things like that. But the bottom line is what it teaches us about authority when they overreach their authority. I think many of us have forgotten the lesson that most of us did learn in elementary school, which is that you're not going to get anywhere by deferring to bullies. You'll never comply your way out of bullying.

That's right. You know, it's not pleasant, but you have to stand up to bullies. And if you comply your way out of bullying. It's not pleasant, but you have to stand up to bullies. And if you stand up to them, then the bullying stops. And if only enough people would just practice that, that standing up, even if it just means, no, I'm not going to do that. Come with me. Okay. Whatever. If we would just recover our spine as a society, then most of these problems would no longer be problems at least not to the extent that they are if you got a critical mass of people a local area and they like people in town government and a sheriff and things like

that you have to have a critical mass to have that happen and that critical mass can stand around those elected officials who are going to stand in the gap and stop this from happening yeah let's talk about one of your articles here. Another entry luxury priced entry level vehicle. I like that. A luxury priced entry level vehicle. Which one is this? Well, let's start with some terminology. In the car business, the term entry luxury referred to a luxury brand's least expensive

model, but it was still expensive. And the bar typically defining that was about $34,000, $35,000. That's what you used to pay for, say, an entry luxury Lexus or a BMW or a Mercedes and what have you. And the counter to that was the entry level car, which was typically synonymous with an economy car, an affordable car. A good example of an entry level car would be something like a Toyota Corolla let's say well uh as we transition into the world of battery-powered vehicles uh uh the the entry level car is becoming the entry luxury priced car all of the latest EVs that they're bringing out and they're marketing these things as affordable have prices that start right around what used to be the defining price point for an entry luxury car.

Fiat is bringing back their little 500 micro car as an electric car. It's going to start around $34,000. Volkswagen has just announced that they're going to bring out their entry level electric crossover. It's going to start around $34,000, $35,000. So, you know, that's what they're pushing now. And there's this interesting malevolence behind it in that it's being pushed by the left. And the left putatively cares about the working man, the average guy, right? If you're still buying that. Anyway, it's very clear that a working man, an average blue-collar guy, is not going to be able to afford to spend $34,000 or $35,000 on a car.

So it's very clear the intent is to just pull all of these people who cannot afford that price of entry out of cars. That's right. That's right. Yeah, especially with interest rates where they are at this point in time. You know, it's interesting to see this in the UK. They went through some of their models, and it's not really important what the models are, but across the board, they had 30 used models of EVs that had plunged the most value in 2023. And so they had 30 different models of EVs that had lost half of their value in the first

year. That's a tremendous drop, and that is indicative of the um the collapsing demand for evs in general and the price at premium that they have to charge for these things it's just it doesn't have something else you know it's not just that they depreciate as all cars do it's you should be used a used electric car has a used battery and batteries as the age lose their capacity to hold a charge. And so now you're going to get a vehicle that had started out with, let's say, the ability to maybe go 200 and something miles on a charge. Now it only goes 150.

And if you hold on to it a little bit more, it's only going to go 75. And then it's not going to go at all. And if you want to go any farther, you're going to have to replace that battery now you're looking at spending 10 15 even 20 000 dollars on a battery for an electric car that you bought for 10 or 15 000 nobody's going to do that and that's why they're not selling yeah and we all know that we know that from experience we know what happens to our phones and our laptops i mean all of our laptops are so old that uh you know they're not um they don't they don't function unless they're plugged into the wall now is what the situation is around here. You know, I can run my laptop for maybe about 20 minutes and then I

better get it plugged into the wall or it's gone. And so that's what happens. You know, they charge up more slowly, they discharge more rapidly, they aren't able to last with that thing. And we've all experienced that with all of our electronic devices. Why are the cars, why do people think the cars are going to be any different? It's just a bigger problem and a more expensive battery to replace. Well, it's far worse because with say a laptop,

you know, a laptop doesn't have to move. It just sits on your desk. So the battery in the laptop is relatively small. And typically proportionately to the value of the laptop, it might be worth spending $150 or whatever on a new battery for a laptop rather than buying a new laptop for $800, let's say. But the cost of battery replacement is so exorbitantly high that it's unmanageable. It doesn't matter how much you want. The bottom line is, okay, I'm going to what?

I'm going to put $15,000 on my credit card of thirty percent interest to pay for a new battery for this used ev it's insane economically speaking nobody's gonna do that and the battery is more expensive than the value of the car as it's depreciating and now you know so you've got this accelerating trend you know people because the battery the prices of them are going down but now because the prices of them are going down it doesn't make down, it makes even less sense to replace the battery. And the hypocrisy of all this is kind of interesting, Eric, because this thing that I use here, my pad that I put my articles on to try to go paperless, I got an update from them. And they've got a new model for this year, and it's got a removable battery. Why?

Because the EU has mandated that they have to have removable batteries for these things. And yet they keep mandating the EVs for people that don't have removable batteries that are easily replaced or at least affordably replaced either. You know what I'm saying? It is kind of crazy that, you know, for a small device like this, it's not all that expensive. They're going to mandate that it's going to have to have a replaceable battery that is easily replaced and everything. And yet for the cars, they're not easily replaced and certainly not economically replaced, regardless of how easy it is to get them out of there. It's only crazy if you start with the assumption that this is some kind of well-intended effort to simply replace the cars that we're driving right now with these electric cars because they're better for the environment. And that's just, it's not the right way to look at it. That's right.

This is malicious. They understand perfectly well what this is all about. And the point of it is to use the electric vehicle as the vehicle to get most people out of cars. They're well aware of the cost issues. They're well aware of the practicality issues they know that there isn't sufficient electrical capacity to power up uh an entire National fleet of EVs if such a thing existed they know this the whole point and it's not me hypothesizing or you can read their documents in one of my most recent articles I've I've linked to one of the documents where they very specifically say what they want is to get roughly

two-thirds of the cars off the road two-thirds of the people out of cars and this is the mechanism by which they're going to accomplish that that's right yeah and that's just the next step you know uh the ultimate goal is to get everybody out of their cars and you know you're right it's not irony uh it's just hypocrisy and it's a real malevolent hypocrisy that they've got going there but we've also seen now you know last time you were on we talked about how some of the american car companies are pulling back now audi is pulling back on electric vehicles you've got the ceo there saying that he wants to avoid flooding dealerships so we've also talked about that how the inventory is backing up for all types of cars because of high interest rates but but especially for the EVs. And he said that they forecasted that electric car take-up is going to be slashed by about

half from last month. Sales of new battery-powered cars expected to grow steadily until they accounted for 67% of the market by 2027. But that has now been revised down from 67% to an expectation of 38%. And I think that that is optimistic because I think now word is getting out as the people who are the early adopters have tried to do this. And, of course, they're now also facing cheaper cars and competition from China. Audi has been kind of a luxury model. And you got a review about one of the Audis. As a matter of fact, you got a review about one of the luxury Audis. Tell us a little bit about that. Well, the A8, it's kind of a

depressing review in that the A8 is Audi's top of the line model. It's in the same class of cars, a Mercedes S-Class or a BMW 7 Series. And if you go back, oh, just a few years, go back about 10 years, a car like the Audi A8 would have come minimally with a v8 engine as a standard engine and typically cars in that class and we're talking about six-figure cars here you know cars that have a starting price around 80 90 100 000 uh would have the option to go with a v12 engine in the case of the a8 they had a w12 you remember that wow no i don't remember that yeah because after all you're spending essentially exotic money. You're spending nearly $100,000 for one of these things.

You're not buying a Corolla or a Camry. Well, now this top-of-the-line Audi and similarly the top-of-the-line Mercedes and the top-of-the-line BMW, they come standard with a little V6 engine because the V6 is now becoming the new V12. It's something that's exclusive and exotic. As on the lower end of the spectrum, I wrote about this recently, Toyota is pulling the V6 out of the Camry. They canceled the Avalon altogether, which was a slightly larger version of the Camry. And they're both now going to be four-cylinder only hybrids.

So, you know, the proletariat, the peons can have a four-cylinder engine, which used to be kind of synonymous with an economy car. And that's exactly what it is, except the price isn't economy anymore. Whereas if you have the means, you know, if you're in that category of person who can afford something like an A8, now you can have a V6. But that's all you can have for $90,000. And the people who didn't buy one a couple of years ago are smacking themselves in the head saying, I could have had a V8. But you can't get it anymore and of course as they do that eric it it plays to the major selling point of the evs which is just straight line acceleration yes yeah exactly right very interesting i i had some inside baseball conversations with uh

a person i can't really talk about it directly. I'm going to be writing about this at one of the major luxury car brands who was kind of chastising me about my position in electric vehicles. And I said to this person, what will be the selling point of your brand when all you sell are battery powered devices and everybody else is selling battery powered devices and there really isn't any material difference between your device and their device it's going to be ever ready or energizer over here i mean how are you going to where does where does you know at one point you had these wonderful particular types of engines that the other manufacturers didn't have and that was a selling point well that's all going away when everything has a battery and a motor. You can make a bigger battery, a smaller battery, but there's no personality. There's nothing particular about it.

So why not just have one conglomerated motors company that sells different shapes of extruded plastic blobs, you know, with different size motors or different power configurations, and it's just all the same homogenized stuff coming out of this, being squeezed out of the same factory somewhere. Well, that's when you call in the descendants of Edward Bernays and Madison Avenue and you create this mystique around a brand and you charge, you know, three times as much for it. And then, you know, it just becomes a status symbol. It's not that there's any functionally functionally a different thing about them at all. You know, it's kind of interesting.

I'm sure you saw this about the cyber truck that got stuck many people call the cyber things yeah the cyber stuck and as i showed this thing being pulled out by uh a ford pickup truck and i think that it was the ceo of ford that said well this is an early christmas gift or something to that extent to show that the cyber truck was being pulled out by a gasoline engine uh ford truck but uh yeah it is uh it is kind of interesting to see how this is is developing and now we've got elon musk who has made a pivot to uh saying well we're not going to be able to get rid of fossil fuels in the short term or maybe even in the medium term uh so we need to kind of get used to it. And boy, he is just being eviscerated by the climate cult over that statement. I'm not sure what to make of Musk. I'd actually like to meet that guy and have a conversation with him.

I see parallels with Trump in that he'll say things that for an audience that is desperate to hear something that sounds like it might possibly indicate that that person is in favor of liberty to some degree or other, that they just lap it right up. And then they shut down their minds to anything that is dissonant, you know, that makes that questionable. You know, Musk has talked greatly about how he's going to be a big proponent of free speech and how X is now not what Twitter was. And it's simply not the case. I can tell you that I've been shadow banned repeatedly. I'm sure you've dealt with this. And recently I even documented it in an article that I wrote about it. If people understand that, it's up on the site. And Elon Musk, oh my God,

his entire operation, he's been the stalking horse. He's been the tip of the spear for this whole forced electrification thing. He used the government to leverage his business, to extort money through the carbon tax, carbon credit regime, to extort all the legitimate automakers to finance his business, to force these EVs out there and to create kind of a fait accompli situation where all the other manufacturers now have to create the same kinds of electrified devices and that's all we're going to be allowed and now he's telling us well maybe we got to keep we have to stick around with some fossil fuels for a while i don't understand it yeah i the very first time we talked i mentioned this because i talked about elon musk the other day about this i said you know look the guy's a technocrat he's a transhumanist uh he's not on your side and he's

going to do the same thing to you these people on the left are so angry with him now because they feel like he's betrayed them. But I guess when he does it to the right, they will still be just as incapable of saying that they've been betrayed as they are with Trump. But I said, you know, he sold all this stuff to become the richest man in the world. And as all these conservatives are writing article after article about, Oh, Elon Musk, look at this. The richest man in the world is going to use his fortune to buy our free speech back from these people who want to make slaves out of us. And it's like,

is that really what he's going to do? And I showed a clip of, um, when a theory Breton, the, uh, the sensor, um,

in the EU, the guy's head of the censorship in EU, uh, came to Austin after he bought Twitter and lectured Elon Musk about how the DSA was going to be coming into effect. I call theory Brett, and I call him the conspiracy theory, because he's part of this conspiracy to shut down free speech. And so he comes there, and Elon Musk is just groveling before him.

And so you get this conflicting stuff. But I think he's just playing to the audience. And I think he's playing them in the same way that Trump did. And I think he's smart enough to really understand. I think he could sit there and watch how Trump played the MAGA crowd. And so, you know, I can do that too,

because he, he's already talked about how she says Soros has picked these races for district attorneys and other things like that. He's realized that he gets more bang for his buck if he goes to the local elections. Musk is very, very political. He became the richest man in the world by playing politics with all of these dictators worldwide, including our American dictators. And he knows exactly how the political game is being played. He is very understanding of the strategy there about Soros, and he's got his own strategy.

And I think that he is playing the Trump game with all this stuff. Yeah, it's like a game of whack-a-mole. And it's a very successful maneuver in that it diverts people from really understanding the nature of their enemy by thinking that he's their friend. And it's the same strategy used by the Trumper people, too. And to me, it's very tragic because most people who are being manipulated in this manner are well-meant people. You know, they're trying to grab onto something. They know that something's very profoundly wrong with the country, and they are desperate.

What can we do? what can we do what can we do you you know back in history if you you read about the you know the late czarist early pre-communist era when russians were exasperated what is to be done was the name of a famous essay back then because it seemed as if their world was crumbling around them and normal people want order not chaos they want calm not uh not violence everywhere and so they're so enervated and they're so upset that they will just latch on to if they think that might be the one that might be our our solution instead of thinking you know we need to look into ourselves and we need to take care of ourselves somehow and recover our power that way and stop being led. I don't want a Fuhrer.

You know, the German word means leader. I'm not looking for a leader. I'm an adult. I can direct my own life. Thank you very much. And I think that if people in this country recover that, which used to be a typical American mindset, we used to be a nation of skeptical people who practiced due diligence.

If somebody presented us with something, we had questions, and we demand answers. of skeptical people who uh practice due diligence we we wanted to if there was somebody somebody presented us with something we had questions and we demand answers and if the answers weren't good we wouldn't put up with it and we need to get back to that somehow yeah i've said many times when i was uh young people used to uh say well you know um don't make a federal case out of this well everything is a federal case now, right? Yes, absolutely. So there ought to be a law. And it's like, no, there ought not to be a law about that.

And certainly don't want to make it a federal law. But, you know, you mentioned how Musk has been a stalking horse for all this stuff. And he has. And this is one of the reasons why he's hated so much on the left, because they feel betrayed by him. This publication of Futurism talking about Musk and how he says well we're going to still need fossil fuels in the short and medium term they said musk is willing to renege on his commitments to the environment to score political points even if that means undercutting the very mission of his ev maker tesla which warns that a delay in moving to renewables could quote

increase the risk of global climate change with potentially disastrous consequences worldwide so maker, Tesla, which warns that a delay in moving to renewables could, quote, increase the risk of global climate change with potentially disastrous consequences worldwide. So Tesla is still selling this. Tesla knows how the game is being played. Tesla is still a stalking horse. And Musk is still tied into all this stuff at the very beginning. And here's an example. You know, the Cybertruck comes out.

And so Jay Leno is talking to the chief designer of the Cybertruck and they start talking about inductive charging. And this happens at exactly the same time that the state of Florida is talking about setting up a road that is going to inductively charge EVs. Well, there's not any EVs that are inductively charged right now. And so, so Musk is going to be there right at the very beginning. You know, he's going to present what these places, you know, what these governments want to do in order to push this EV agenda.

He's going to be there right from the very beginning. He's still on board with this 2030 agenda and still on the cutting edge. Sorry. You know, and as you were reading that, I was doing my little etymological dissection that I've, I've become, it's become a road habit for me when I i when i read and hear things uh commitment to the

environment well how do you do that i mean it's it's just a dumb phrase right it is it's a non-specific feel-good virtue signaling phrase and they get away with this stuff and you know you even read it i wrote an article about something that was in scientific american and i can't remember i've got so many balls up in the air what it was all about but scientific american used to be a reputable publication you know science used to be about uh specifics because that's what the nature of science is you have to understand what you're talking about in order to talk about it intelligently it has to be something that can be examined uh and and that can be evaluated in terms of facts and if it isn't for for example, climate change,

what does that mean exactly? There is no meaning to it exactly because it's amorphous, it's vague, the climate changes. Okay, well, it's a political term. It's a very deliberate political term that's designed to encompass anything at all. And that's the point of it. And in the mind of anybody who has been trained to

think critically at all it ought to raise red flags because of its non-specific non-specific nature forgive me i've been drinking way too much coffee this morning yeah well you know i i that's exactly right it was for the first eight years or so after earth day uh it was all about a new ice age and it's going to be global cooling. And then all of a sudden they just flip the switch and it became global warming. And then it stayed there until about, I guess what was about 10,

15 years ago, maybe not even that long. And they did change it to, well, it's just going to be climate change, climate change. There'll be anything, you know,

they just give up on the, on the ice age, they give up on the warming. And so now they've got a term that they can use and whatever happens you know again if it's too much snow not enough snow well it's because of your uh internal combustion engine uh but uh it truly is amazing to see how he is always there on the cusp of all this stuff isn't it and he's not an idiot you know he doesn't get to be the world's richest man by being an imbecile he's definitely smart the question is whether he's honorable and and and trustworthy.

And I think we know the answer to those questions. And the sad thing, too, is that where they're going to build this induction road, you know, talk about if we build it, they will come. You know, we're going to build this induction road where they charge the cars. And yet there's not any cars that have inductive charging on them yet. But I'm sure that they'll build it. And here is Elon Musk to fulfill that for these government agencies. But this is coming from Republican Florida, conservative Republican Florida.

The Central Florida Expressway Authority is going to be the ones who are going to do this. So some big boondoggle from them. And, you know, we've talked for the longest time about the autopilot, which was the big, you know, high-tech cherry that he put on there, which is not really working and how he has been able to skate around all these draconian measures that they pull against people like VW for quote unquote, cheating on an admission thing.

Now you got Tesla drivers are now being forced to pay after killing two people on autopilot. And that's one of the things that we all talked about, um, that we talked about over the years, you and I, uh, who's going to have the liability when the autopilot kills people? Is it going to be the insurance company? Is it going to be the,

uh, is it going to be Tesla, the automobile company, or is it going to be the person who owned the car and is sitting in the car while they got it on autopilot? And that's where they decided in this particular one, they, it's not going to be Musk.

It's going to be you. It's going to be holding the right that's because they've got the little lawyer screen in the car that's right and and the uh the language in the agreement the user agreement that says uh you know the driver uh is responsible for uh being ready to intervene at any time and maintaining the ability to control the car but of course that flies at odds with the plain meaning of autopilot. You know, they chose that term deliberately. It's an aviation term. Yeah.

You know, so when a commercial plane is up at altitude and it's not necessary to be directly constantly involved in the operation of a plane, you can put it on autopilot. The pilot still has to sit there by law in the left seat and be monitoring. But the term implies that the thing is going to fly itself, which is technically true. But in terms of the car, of course it doesn't. And yet you're placed in this paradoxical position as the person who owns the car. Okay, I'm going to spend the money because I want the car to be capable of driving itself.

But then if it wrecks because i wasn't paying attention to the driving it's my fault for using the autopilot and musk somehow manages to get away with that and it's just that's right so he's got the trump game down already yes he was he was just playing 4d chess with you when he sold you autopilot you know autopilot either is or it isn't if it's not able to to safely drive the car then it's not autopilot and know autopilot it either is or it isn't if it's not able to to safely drive the car then it's not autopilot and there's no point in having it and you might as well just be the driver of the car right that's right well while we're talking about autopilot take a look at what is going on in the uk they are now rolling out they rolled it out in wales and now you got

you know sadiq khan who is rolling it out around the London area. They're changing the speed limits from 30 to 20 and spending a lot of money to put signage up, and they're going to be issuing speeding tickets and all the rest of this kind of stuff. But when you look at this, Eric, it reminds me of what we were just talking about when we said, what is the strong point, really, of the electric vehicles? And that is straight line acceleration. And so what are you doing now? Well, they're making the cars go down to four-cylinder engines, right, to highlight that.

And so when you look at this, you know, what is their problem with the self-driving taxis, with all the Johnny Cabs that they just shut down in California and other things like that? Well, it's the fact that they can't really navigate this stuff and they're super slow and, um, you know, they can't make these decisions quickly. And so they've got to go really slow. Like you're in some kind of a self-driving golf cart or something. So when they start lowering the speed limit from 30 to 20, what are they doing? Well, first of all, they're frustrating drivers. And it's like, why am I even bothering with this thing? Right. And then, uh, you know, tickets, uh, being issued with you by speed cameras and all the rest of this stuff all the time. And now to take it down to the speed that Johnny cab can drive. So she says, all right, fine. I'm just done. I can't

drive more than 20 miles an hour anyway. So here have the keys to my car and you can have my car. You know, that's really what they're doing, isn't oh absolutely you know and it's it's something it's what they call law enforcement a clue you know to people who like teslas and these these uh ludicrously fast uh accelerating electric vehicles generally uh they are going to make it so that you can't make use of the one thing that the ev has that most other cars don't have. They're letting you know, you know, knocking on wood here. Be aware. You know, you're going to have your $100,000 Tesla S with the hypothetical capability of going to 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.

But if you use it, you know. Yeah. You're back to these hypercars that you know how yeah i can go 170 miles an hour it's like okay go ahead and try that you know it's like the song you can discern here like the ultimate object of all of this is to make driving so unbearable so unpleasant uh so expensive that people will throw up their hands in despair and say okay i give in i'll just walk or i'll ride the bicycle or I'll take the train. And that's exactly what they want.

That's right. It reminds me of the old song. Oh, I can't remember the name of it. The line goes, uh, my Maserati does one 95. I lost my license. Now I can't drive. That's what we're going to be with all this stuff. Yeah.

They want to make life impossible for us, whether it's an automobile or a ceiling fan, they got to take that away from us. It truly is. And they don't care what we're going to be with all this stuff yeah they want to make life impossible for us whether it's an automobile or a ceiling fan they got to take that away from us it truly is and and they don't care what we think here in this situation um they had a half a million people sign a petition against this hated policy that's the way it's reported in the uk of lowering it from 30 to 20 and they just blew it off they said said, we don't care. They said, this is going to save lives. And it's like, okay. And we know they've had their vision zero for a long time. Everything is about zero.

Everything is, you know, we got net zero, but they had vision zero, which was to say, we're going to have no lives lost. And of course, a big part of vision zero was to make sure that we're going to turn everything over to autopilot. And we're still seeing that the autopilot is killing people. It is always going to be a situation.

But that's the way they justify all the road diets and all the road calming issues and all the lowering of the speed limits and everything. We've got to just stop everybody from dying. And yet everything else that they do in this cynical hypocrisy is set up to depopulation, to create depopulation, death by government. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. Well, zero is the mark of a fanatic. Yeah. It's not reasonable. That's right. You know, you're talking about something that is being used as a pretext for almost unimaginable tyranny because, you know, in a rational, reasonable world, there are costs and

there are benefits, there are pros and cons, and it's a spectrum. And you weigh things and you come up with a reasonable middle ground. You know, if you're not a bad person, if you're not somebody who's in the grip of some kind of deranged religious mania, which is what we're dealing with here. I use the word religion. It's secular, but it's still a religion. These people have a faith. It's an evil faith, but they're no less fervent on account of that. And it's kind of the Torquemada-esque, there can be no apostasy anywhere. You know, we cannot permit the slightest heresy. You know, if you violate the dogma, if you violate the coda, then you are a heretic and you must be burned at the stake, you know, metaphorically as well as potentially literally with regard to the stuff that we're talking about.

Oh, yeah. I think it's a really good point you made. It really is, you know, metaphorically, as well as potentially literally with regard to the stuff that we're talking about. Oh, yeah. I think it's a really good point you made. It really is. You know, it's the mark of a fanatic to talk about zero and everything they talk about is zero. You know, absolute zero. I guess because they're absolutists, you know, they want everything to absolutely go to zero. And when they're talking about saving lives in this petition, they said that you know the government is claiming that it's reducing this to 20 miles per hour and they put all uppercase everywhere because that's where they want to do it everywhere uh saves lives yet we get flyers merely claiming that it will we don't have

any evidence about this we've got opinions from doctors but there's no evidence it's just the same mcguffin that they played on us through this so-called pandemic. At least one of the trials, they said, however, in villages actually reverted their trial because it was causing absolute carnage on the road. They said that every time I go out, they said nobody is driving at 20 miles an hour. The Welsh government has failed to produce any convincing evidence to support these claims. Again, it's the same tactic they keep using. They don't show you the data for the climate stuff they don't show you the data for their imposed regulations they didn't show you the data for their supposed virus and pandemic and they don't

show you the data for their solution the uh the jab they hide let's take it to its logical conclusion uh let's forbid all movement as a way to achieve vision zero and even then you're not going to do it because inevitably there's going to be somebody who might have a heart attack while they're lying in bed you know i you know again it just it reveals the religious mania of these people and it's a dishonest mania they know it is uh they're just using this to gaslight people you know they put forward they put forward well you know somebody might die oh it's always a hypothetical somebody somebody might be injured uh as the as the pretextual excuse and justification to impose something obnoxious

and tyrannical on everybody and you know these politicians are really no better than these idiots who are gluing themselves to the highway and creating massive roadblocks and causing people with medical emergencies to have serious medical consequences or even die. That's really what is happening. But the politicians are doing that in reality with their regulations. I've got a comment here for you. This is on Rumble. Thank you very much for the tip, YJ72. I'm very curious, why don't we hear about updated tests for covet 19 yet because there's so many variants how do we test for something new with an existing test that's a very good question i love that what do you think about that that's a that's a good retort well you

know i'm not really sure about these tests isn't the case that if you put a banana in the blender and cycle it enough you'll come up with a positive test that's right i've had i've had people as a matter of fact andy was saying that he's ems and he was saying uh yeah we had a a nurse who tested one of these things right out of the package and got a positive test for it i think it was all just harassment if you look at it right because and i've said this you look at the con film festival and all these elitists show up and this was just a couple of months before uh they were going to go the next stage of saying you're going to have to have a vaccine or you're not going to go anywhere but they held off on that so they could have their con film festival in france as these people showed up

they were saying this is disgusting i have to spit in this container to get a covet test it's like you get to spit we get this thing ramrodded up our nose if you submit to that. And then in China, they were doing it rectally to the State Department employees. It's not just disgusting, it's degrading. Yeah, it is. That's the point. I maintain that that was part of the reason for the pushing of the masks as well, because it's a humiliation ritual. It's not just making somebody do something. It's making somebody do something that is degrading and embarrassing.

Yes. And there's a purpose psychologically for that. And the masks were the same way. You know, how could you believe that these little, and there's no definition of what a mask is. It could be anything. And so it was all just an exercise in humiliation, obedience, and power. It was a psychological experiment.

That's true. But that's a very good observation, Y.J. I think that is true. Call their bluff on that and say, well, how is it that you've got all these new variants and yet you haven't changed the test? And how do you know how to test for this thing? What are you testing for anyway? The whole thing was a scam, wasn't it? And that really kind of shows it right there, doesn't it?

Absolutely. That's great. And I've got another person who left a tip on Rumble. I thank you, KFB, very much and wish us happy or Merry Christmas. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. And it's great to have you on. And I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
