www.thezeitgeistmovement.com Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 21st of June, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at new Cuban missile crises. Not one, but two. BlackRock doing war profiteering. What a surprise. This is how these big banks got to be big banks in the first place. We're also going to take a look at the missing submarine. There's a lot of interesting things in the details that apply to us, apply to CO2, apply to masks, climate change, the rest of this stuff. And we're going to take a look at the IRS police state as Hunter skates free.

It's been weaponized to a severe degree against everyone else. We'll be right back. Well, we have essentially another Cuban Missile Crisis, but not quite there yet. Not missiles, but troops. Beijing is planning a new training facility in Cuba to place troops there, not missiles. Of course, it's just a short hop, skip, and a jump to Florida, but the easiest way for them to get into America is to come into Central and South America, around the Panama Canal.

Chinese have been very busy investing in the Panama Canal, So they could easily get down there and send all the troops that they want to through the open border. But it's not just China and Cuba. As Gilbert Doctorow points out, what we're doing is creating a reverse Cuban Missile Crisis. Many people have pointed out with this situation in Ukraine. Think about if this situation were reversed. Think about what if there was an ongoing purge of Americans in Mexico

or something like that. Will we do something about it? It's all these different thought experiments that you can do with what is happening in Ukraine. But we look at the armaments that are being sent the f-16s and of course we just had one pilot who was ukrainian spent over a year in the u.s he was an experienced pilot before he came to the u.s to train trained went back and was immediately shot down. Not the ghost of Kiev.

No, this is a real death that happened there. But as Gilbert Doctorow says, what I'm about to say is surely known and under analysis in the American intelligence agencies. It's being used by the Pentagon to quietly change its nuclear force posture in Europe. However, we've not heard a word about it in the media, not in the mainstream, not yet in alternative news. So last Friday, when I published my selective account of the Q&A session with Putin at the culmination of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, I omitted one important issue, how Russia will respond to the dispatch of Ukrainian F-16s

from some air base in a NATO country into the war zone of Ukraine. He said, I quoted Putin as saying on Friday that Russia will destroy such a base in response. And of course, we've had a lot of talk, and I covered it as well. A person who is retired, but he's with a Russian military think tank, talking about the necessity of using nuclear weapons as a limited means, he thinks. He said, we have to save the world from the U.S. and Europe, from NATO, from the West. And he says to do that, these people have lost their fear of nuclear annihilation.

We no longer have the mutually assured destruction idea. And so he says what we need to do is use some small-scale nukes to give them a taste of that, to bring them to their senses. Would it bring them to their senses? You know, his calculation is, well, I don't think that they would escalate. to bring them to their senses. Would it bring them to their senses? You know, his calculation is, well, I don't think that they would escalate. What president in his right mind would exchange Boston for some Ukrainian city? Problem is, we don't have presidents in their right mind. And I'm not talking about Biden's senility.

I'm talking about the fact that they don't run the country. They are little side actors. And I think that's one of the things when I look at Trump talking about his boxes and his papers and that episode where he's talking to reporters and saying, see, see, I got some papers to show that it wasn't me that did this. They were doing that. I couldn't stop it and all the rest of the stuff. How weak is that? wasn't me that did this. They were doing that. I couldn't stop it and all the rest of the stuff. It's like, how weak is that?

How weak is that? Who's in charge here? The president is not in charge, whether it's Trump or Biden. It's really the country is being run by unelected bureaucracies. And the Pentagon, the military industrial complex, the corporations that are there, but also the Pentagon, the military industrial complex, the corporations that are there, but also the CIA and the intelligence agencies. They are madmen. They are madmen. They will torture people. They will lie. They will get us involved in wars.

They are capable of anything morally. And they have the technology that they're pretty much capable of anything technologically as well. But they have absolutely no moral constraints. And so there's a very dangerous situation indeed. And, of course, the prepositioning of the nuclear weapons in Belarus, the warheads, as he points out, will be just next to the planes and the Iskander missiles that will carry them. This means that the time to launch will depend only on the time for approval from the boss. And with that respect, Lukashenko said that he just had to make a phone call to Vladimir Vladimirovich and approval would be instantaneous. And this is what he means by second Cuban Missile Crisis.

You have all these military forces there, NATO forces, and Putin has placed these missiles in Belarus, very close to Ukraine. And of course, when they did the initial invasion into Ukraine, they had a lot of, you know, they had an insertion through Belarus, which is kind of on the northern side of Ukraine. They immediately went in and secured Chernobyl area, which was very close to that. So when you look at this, they are pushing the buttons everywhere. Everywhere.

He goes on to say that while the West has called for talks and reduction of stockpiles of such weapons, Russia will not enter into such talks and says to the West, F you, if I may translate his rude remark in Russian, to the four-letter English equivalent. That is basically what is happening. But they understand. And our government isn't even trying to pretend or soft-pedal the fact that this is an existential threat to Russia.

And we look at who benefits from this. It's a long story how the Rothschilds profited from war, advanced information about how the battles were going and so forth, but they always profit from war, the bankers especially. You look at the Civil War, the expression was, rich man's war, poor man's fight. And here we have BlackRock and J.P. Morgan are being set up as a reconstruction bank for Ukraine. They will make trillions of dollars off of this. Why do we have a war in Ukraine? We don't have any interest there, but the bankers do. The financial companies do. The corporations that comprise the military industrial complex do.

It's the money that's there. We don't have any interest in this. This is not in the interest of the Ukrainian people either. It wasn't in the interest of the Ukrainian people to have a coup and a civil war where they were shelling the areas that wanted to peacefully secede and remain with Russia or go back to Russia. They were Russian majority. No,

we, um, we're the ones who provoke that and have been provoking this for decades. It began a new cold war. Uh, you have a black rock recruiter who quote decides people's fate, quote unquote says war is fate, quote, unquote, says war is good for business.

Well, it's good for his business. It's bad for everybody else. If you want a straight path to poverty and misery, anguish, go to war. These people, though, they don't fight it. They profit from it. War profiteers, always. The O'Keeffe Media Group has published a new story focusing on perhaps O'Keeffe's most powerful investigative subject to date, BlackRock.

In the footage, a BlackRock recruiter named Sergei Varley describes how BlackRock is able to, quote, run the world, unquote. He goes on for about seven minutes of riveting footage. The footage was captured over the course of several meetings in New York by one of OMG News' undercover journalists. He told the journalist that BlackRock manages $20 trillion worldwide. According to him, it is an incomprehensible number.

They have about as many assets, starting to get there, as we have the amount of debt. We've got $31 trillion of debt. They've got $20 trillion worldwide, and it's going to go up exponentially as they rebuild Ukraine. We will go further and further into debt. And where's this money going to? Obviously, the BlackRock. BlackRock is running the ESG stuff. They buy all these assets with all this money. They buy all these major corporations on Wall Street. They tell them we're going to slit your

throat financially if you don't do what we say in terms of ESG. Larry Fink, the CEO, has said that. I've played that clip for you multiple times. We're going to force people to do this. How do you force them to do this? Well, the money is incomprehensible. They have over $9.5 trillion of assets under management. That's larger than the GDP of all countries on the globe,

except for the U.S. and China. And this guy, Sergei Varley, says the senators are effing cheap. You got 10 grand, you can buy a senator. That's been one of the things I've said for the longest time. I have said this for years and years. I said, you don't get any better return on investment than buying a congressman. You know, you spend a little bit of money with him and you get thousands, tens of thousands percent return on investment. A lot of leverage.

Just imagine what $10 million with Biden buys you. If a 10,000 gets you a senator, he says, you can take this big effing ton of money and buy people. I work for a company called BlackRock. It's not who the president, who is the president. It's who is controlling the wallet of the president. We all know this, right? We all know this. Why does everybody think that elections are so important? Not at the federal level. At the local level, yes. We still have

an opportunity to do something. At the federal level, we're talking about the district of criminals. We are talking about the district of cuckoos, like I pointed out yesterday, Fetterman and Biden. You have the criminals who are running the operation. You have the cuckoos that you go vote for, that you see, the figureheads. Every once in a while, the door opens, and the cuckoo comes out and says something and then goes back inside the door. But the gears inside the clock that are running are being done by BlackRock

and by these companies, you know, Boeing, Grumman, Grumman, Northrop. Well, I don't know. They've merged so many times. There's so few of them. Anyway, he says, you could buy your candidates first. There are senators. These guys are effing cheap. You got 10 grand.

You can buy a sender. I'll give you 500,000 right now if it doesn't matter who wins there in my pocket. Ukraine is good for business. You know that, right? Russia blows up Ukraine's grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go up mad. The Ukrainian economy is the wheat market. The price of bread goes up. This is fantastic if you're trading. Volatility creates opportunity for profit. You see, these people know how to make money when things are going up,

and they know how to make money when things are going down. They don't make any money when things go sideways. Stability, which is what we want. They want volatility. And the more volatility, the more money they make. And even better, they're the ones who are making it go up or making it go down. So they know in advance that it's going to go up or down. Just like Rothschild knew who had won the war.

So when you look at this this and we talk about elections, this is one of the things when I look at the policies, you know, people who do you like for president? I look at the things that DeSantis has done. I like a lot of the stuff that he has done. And I have criticized him for not going far enough, but I always say that he went further sooner than anybody else did. You know, he was the last one into this lockdown stuff and the first one

out, uh, that Trump was doing. He also was the first. And as far as I can tell the only one to say that corporations don't get to tell you what to do about your health as a customer, as an employee and things like that, uh, he, um, didn't go nearly far enough to protect people from the vaccines. Said, well, we're not going to give them to young people. They have a lot of risk and they don't have any benefit from this. But he kept giving them to older people.

And he and his surgeon general know how bad they are. So it's a mixed bag with things like that. But again, my concern with him, just as it is with any other politician, is he owned, and that's how easy it is to own these guys. And you look at the billionaires that are out there talking about who they're going to back for GOP, and that's the ones that they're asking. You want to know what the policies of the president are going to back for GOP. And that's the ones that they're asking. You want to know what the policies of the president are going to be? You want to know what he's, who owns him? Well, take a look

at who he is sucking up to. You know, he's sucking up to Sheldon Adelson's widow. It's not even American citizen, I don't think. She's living in Israel. And these other GOP billionaires, he said, well, I don't like what he's doing about abortion. I don't like what he's doing about the gay agenda, so I'm not going to probably give him money. Well, is he going to cave to that eventually as he becomes president when he runs for re-election? What is he going to do?

Can you trust these people, or can they be bought? So as we look at that, that is the real issue. I'm going to skip the rest of the news because we got an interview coming up with Eric Peters. I may get back to it. I've got a lot of stuff here about artificial intelligence, arsonist, EV bike fires. We'll talk about bike fires. We'll talk about some of that with Eric when he joins us because I know he's going to want to talk about EVs. But I want to get on to the submarine because I think that's got a lot of interesting analogies

that affect each and every one of us. So we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to be right back. Stay with us Thank you. Sous-titres par LaVacheSquid Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I want to talk a little bit about what's going on with this Titanic sub, the submersible. It's called the Titan. And I know that you have seen this now. It is absolutely amazing, though, some of the videos that have come out about how this thing works and how it is set up. And as I look at this, and they've got maybe about 24 hours of air left if they are still alive,

and you're talking about finding a needle in a haystack, they've got an area the size of Connecticut in the ocean that they're looking for. They had been delayed because of bad weather. There's always a sea Atlantic, and there's a lot of bad weather all the time there. A lot of times people would go out on these expeditions in the past. They would sign up. They could theoretically go down. I think they were there for like a week or something. They had like five days that they might be able to go down.

But typically, the weather would be so bad they could only go down one of those days. And then other things happen in previous adventures going down. And so you have on board, you have a French naval veteran, but you've also got a billionaire who is an adventurer, done a lot of things. I wanted to put this on his bucket list. You've got the CEO of this company that owns the sub. And he put his life on the line to save money.

And so, but you also have a father and son. He's Pakistan's richest man. He's not a billionaire. As they point out, he's a centimillionaire. In other words, he's got hundreds of millions of dollars, his net worth, but he doesn't have a billion dollars, but he is Pakistan's richest man. He and his 19-year-old son are on board. A real tragedy, five people there. And the question is, what is going to happen with him now as time is running out? And we'll talk about that as well as an amazing story of something similar to this that happened 50 years ago. And I think it is

still the record in terms of recovering people from a great depth and a failed submersible. But let me play for you first. This was a reporter. Well, first, this is a BBC clip. Just to give you a picture of the sub. And to hear the CEO talking about how they control this thing. This is what got me on it. I got onto Twitter to post some clips from yesterday's show.

And I saw trending over on the side a PlayStation controller or whatever this thing is. What is that about? Logitech. Logitech controller. What is that about? And it was about this sub. Here's the BBC clip. There's the sub. It's got one button. That's it. Yeah, so we run the sub with this game controller. It's made by Logitech, but it's basically a Sony

PlayStation style controller. If you want to go forward, you press forward. If you want to go back, you press back. You want to turn to the left, it's like that. You want to turn to the right, you turn to the right. Wow. What could possibly go wrong? You got one button, on-off button, and you got a joystick controller. Just amazing. This is, again, a tale of what can go wrong when you turn control over the completely automated process. That's I think the first lesson that we can learn from this is that you got absolutely no control, real control over this thing as the reporter who did a story on them last fall, accompanied them out there, went inside the sub and,

you know, looked at the stuff in there. He did not go down, you know, he didn't have, uh, that's the other thing. It's like 200,000 pounds to go down. You know, money wise, it's about $300,000, I guess, or 250, $300,000. I don't know what the exchange rate is right now, but the CBS or reporter didn't have that kind of cash. And I guess they didn't want to put it on their expense account. Uh, he also seemed to be somewhat skeptical about risking his life.

He was like, can you believe this? Look at that. It just cobbled this stuff together with things off of the shelf. Here's his report. An experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death. Where do I sign?

Take your shoes off. That's customary. Okay. Wow. Inside, the sub has about as much room as a minivan. So this is not your grandfather's submersible. We only have one button. That's it. It should be like an elevator. You know, it shouldn't take a lot of skill. The Titan is the only five-person sub in the world that can reach titanic depths 2.4 miles below the sea. It's also the only one with a toilet, sort of. And yet I couldn't help noticing how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised. We can use these off-the-shelf components.

I got these from Camper World. We run the whole thing with this game controller. Come on! It seems like... Yeah, yeah. I got the lights here from Camper World. And they've had a lot of problems with that thing. And then look at the seating arrangements.

I mean, at least the people on the Titanic had better accommodations. I think this is more like steerage or worse on the Titanic. So here's how the five people are laid out. And you can see that only one person can stretch their legs out in here. It's pretty amazing. They're packed like sardines in this tiny can. So when you look at this, they lost contact with them about halfway down. It drops like a rock, but it's got a long way to go. And it takes about two and a half hours for the thing to dive down. They lost contact with him about a little over an hour going down.

But they didn't report it for eight hours because it's not unusual for them to lose communications with the sub. This has happened before. And so after they weren't able to get any communications for eight hours, then they called people for help. And as a matter of fact, that reporter that you saw there, again, I don't think he actually went down. weren't able to get any communications for eight hours. Then they called people for help. And, uh, as a matter of fact, that reporter that you saw there again, I don't think he actually went down.

He's reading the documents and I says, well, this is pretty concerning all the warnings and disclaimers on here. Uh, he did not go down, but he was there. I think it was November, uh,

the previous one. And, um, he said, uh, yeah, they, uh, pretty much lost. Um, they lost their compass as they got down in the ship. They don't have any onboard navigational stuff there. They've got a little window that is about the size of a washing machine portal to look out of All five of them can take turns looking out of that little window and just kind of find their way around. And that little Logitech controller controls some props that people said are about the size of a desktop fan to cool you. Very flimsy stuff. And they just drop it down. you don't have a whole lot of horsepower to make it go where you want to go you don't have any directions to ins internally any gps or anything like that to help you find anything and you got a little tiny window that

you can look out of and really not see too much the sunlight does not penetrate further than a thousand feet so you're in total darkness except for what your headlights have out there. I don't know if they got the headlights from Camping World as well. But then they've also had a lot of issues raised about their safety design. Back in 2018, they had an employee who was fired after raising safety concerns. And at the time, 2018, five years ago at the time, it was called the Cyclops 2. There had been a Cyclops 1. This is a redesign of it. Why the Cyclops?

Well, it's only got one eye. It's got a very small eye, that one window. And that was the thing that he had a concern about. At the meeting, he discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the engineering department. The viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters. Although Ocean Gate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. They're going to go down four times the depth. And understand that every time you go down 10 meters,

you add another atmosphere of pressure because of the water. So you're looking at another 400 atmospheres of pressure that it's not been adjusted for. And, of course, now it's done several of these, well, not several, but it's done a few of these things. But when you look at previous missions, maybe that just stressed this critical component. He learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify it to a depth of

1,300 meters due to the experimental design of the viewport that was supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the pressure vessels for human occupancy standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters. And passengers would not be aware of Lockridge's concerns. I imagine that was not on that piece of paper that mentioned death several times. It probably didn't mention the fact, oh, by the way, this is way out of specs where we are going. 4,000 meters, it's over 12,000, it's 12,500 feet is where the Titanic is resting. Passengers would not be made aware of this.

They would also not know that hazardous, flammable materials are being used within the submersible. Ocean Gate did not address these, and he was fired. And so then there was a lawsuit because he said he was unjustly fired as a safety whistleblower.

They settled the lawsuit. So I don't know. You know, the billionaires and the centimillionaires, do they know this? Look, as people have said many times, the really rich are different from you and me. They've got lots of money. But they make the same kind of mistakes, I'll add, you know, that's

the, that's the saying, but they also like you and I, they make a lot of mistakes. They can be very smart people and accumulate a lot of money, but they can also make unbelievable errors in judgment. This is why, you know, we should not be over overly impressed with billionaires and we should not all go running to find a billionaire who's going to save us, whether it is Trump or whether it's Elon Musk. They've got their own agenda. And these people are typically driven by money and power lusts. And they've got judgmental issues as well.

They don't know everything that's going on. Nobody does. Everybody has big blind spots in their judgment. And again, this is a CEO who put all this stuff together. He knowingly cut all these corners, and yet he went down with these guys. Leaders in the submersible industry also sent a letter to OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who is also currently missing along the vessel, urging him to take caution. The New York Times got this. The people in the industry are very concerned about this. They said, we've got a very good safety record. We don't want

to have the public scared about this. They wrote them the letter about it. They ignored that. And so then they gave that letter to the New York Times that published what their concerns were five years ago. Then there's a guy who is an Emmy award-winning writer-producer for The Simpsons. He was the one who went down last November when the CBS reporter was doing that report. His name is Mike Rice. And he talked to the reporters about the waiver. He said, the waiver said death three times. It's just the very first page that you sign when you go down. He and his wife were going to go down, but she tested positive for COVID, so they wouldn't let her go down he went down by himself he said he and his four fellow passengers were bolted in the submersible from the outside oh that's the other key thing right if these guys um if something went wrong and they

pushed the emergency button to float them up to the surface if they're bobbing around on the surface somewhere they still only have 24 hours of oxygen left, and they can't get out because they're bolted in from the outside with 17 bolts. Great design, isn't it? He and his four fellow divers were bolted into it from the outside.

They brought cameras. They sat on the floor inside the curved hole that is only 22 feet long. It's like if you took a minivan and took all the seats out, that's the amount of space you have. He said, it's sort of beautifully designed inside. It feels sort of like a waiting room at a spa, quiet and comfortable. Yeah, it may be heaven's waiting room. You know, that's the thing when I look at this. You look at this and you say, did they have a catastrophic failure on the way down?

All of a sudden, only halfway down, boom, you know, but even halfway down is still well beyond the threshold of that viewport that it was designed for. If that went, they would all die instantly. Or are they down at the bottom? Or are they bobbing around waiting to run out of oxygen on the surface? When you look at that and you think about it, each of us is going to die one day. Are we going to die instantaneously? Or are we going to die slowly, having time to think about it? I think about that often. People die from automobile accidents. People die from heart attacks.

Those are instantaneous. You die from cancer, you've got a lot of time to think about it. I've known some very good friends who have died of cancer, and they've talked about what a blessing it is to have that time to think about their life, to say goodbye to people, that type of thing. You know, which would you think would be better? Because you're going to have that situation one day. And then what? What happens after you die? You need to think about that now. You know, you look at this and you say, these guys rushed into this thing. They signed this contract. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to die.

Yeah, not thinking about it. You know, we all admit, yeah, we're going to die someday, but we don't really think about it. Just like these people who signed at the bottom line said, well, we're going to, likelihood, this is very dangerous. We could die. No, I don't think so right not going to happen to me you can't imagine it and yet it does come for us each of us that's one of the things i think about as i look at this anyway the simpsons guy said we sink like a stone, gently falling for two hours and 30 minutes. He said the sub is very, very simple. You basically push it into the water and it sinks like a stone.

So it hits bottom and then you sail around and you're sort of powered by engines that look like desktop fans. He said it was so peaceful that he fell asleep. People talk about the excitement, the thrills. Were you scared? He said, well, it's like I fell asleep. So, yeah, real exciting to pay all that money for that. When they hit the ocean floor, he said, the pilot realized that the submersible was just 500 yards

away from the main wreckage of the Titanic, but we didn't know in which direction. The compass had stopped working, so I don't know how he knew it was 500 yards away. He said, we spent about 90 minutes down there just hunting around and trying to find the Titanic. It's so dark down there. By the time they stumbled upon the wreckage site, they only had 20 minutes to gaze at the tragic liner. And you're saying, well, wait a minute. I thought they had 90 some odd hours with this stuff. Yeah, but they leave that as a reserve. That's your emergency reserve. You know, they go down for, you know, two and a half hours. I don't know how long it takes them to get back up to the surface. Uh, but, um, you know, probably come up faster

when they release the ballast stuff or something, but, um, you know, you're looking at, uh, five, six hours or whatever. They stay down there for like 90 minutes and then come back up. But again, this reporter who you saw his report, their CBS last November, said 17 bolts, they can only be opened from the outside. He said, there's no backup, there's no escape pod. You get to the surface or you die. And you don't just get to the surface or die. You get to the surface and you have people take you out of it or you die. Recalling the interior of it in November, he said there's camping lights on the ceiling, off-the-shelf security cameras, Ziploc bags for a toilet, and construction pipes as ballast.

And he said at each end of the white tube is a silver dome. The front end cap has a 22 inch round window made of seven inch thick plexiglass. So you can see out when you get to the bottom of the ocean, that is your view of the Titanic. And so he said, um, again, no GPS system. It's guided by text messages sent from the team above the water, and they have lost communications many times in the past. Not very sophisticated. They had seven different functions, he said, to allow it to resurface, and he was really concerned that none of these had worked. He also added that these resurfacing capabilities would be irrelevant if the submarine became trapped or if it sprang a leak. And again, that would be, you know, some of the

people said maybe it's trapped in the Titanic, you know, maybe as it's drifting down, maybe it got tangled up in the Titanic and can't surface. But since they lost communication about halfway down, I think, which is guess, that it's most likely that this troubling window failed on descent, and they all died instantly. He said, the ship is propelled by very tiny motors, look like a fan that you'd have on your desk, it's steered by an Xbox joystick.

You're taken with how simple it is. And that's the thing. We all get taken by these simple systems, don't we? And it's kind of hubris, thinking that it's not going to happen to us. And so let me read you the story of somebody else who had this situation 50 years ago. The guy is now 85 years old. And they went to him because it was the, and I think still is, the deepest rescue that anybody's ever had from one of these submersibles.

The difference between a submersible and a submarine is that it doesn't have its own power. You just drop it. It's typically either tethered to a mothership, or there's a mothership that is keeping a watch on it. These were a couple of engineers, and they were laying cables, telephone cables on the ocean floor. And so they had worked their shift and, uh, they were on their way back up and, um, there had been a problem with a hatch in the past. And, uh, one of these two engineers had told management about it, but they decided that they didn't want to spend the money to fix it. And so they kind of jerry-rigged this thing together, kind of like these guys did. And surprise, surprise, the jerry-rigging was not put on properly. The hatch opened up as they were

starting to come up, and it started to, a part of it started to flood and that caused the uh caused the submersible to suddenly be pulled downward at a very high speed they said in his account they said the men held on for dear life at about 200 feet down the tow line suddenly pulled taut and started swinging them back and forth like a pendulum. A spare battery for the underwater telephone, the size of a breeze block, came loose and began crashing from one side to the other. A sonar set had also broken free and was battering both of them as they waited to see what would happen next. And just a few minutes later, the tow line snapped, sending them plummeting to the seabed. They said it was very frightening, and we crashed to the seabed in 26 seconds.

It had taken four minutes for us to come up, but we went down in 26 seconds. Now, these are a couple of engineers, and they kept their heads, and they started doing things that helped them to survive. In that 26 seconds, they started securing everything that they could that was loose. And then they started packing cushions between them and what was going to be the bottom of the ship that was headed down. And so they switched off all the electrical equipment to try to minimize the risk of a fire happening, which would be catastrophic. They put the cushions down. They secured the stuff that was loose. And then they even put claws in their mouths so they wouldn't bite off their tongues. They knew that's going to be a bad, you know, a bad landing when they got down.

So they really kept their heads about it. And then they're sitting there watching this gauge as it's going down thousand feet 1200 feet bam hits at 1500 feet they're down and understand that's only about one tenth the depth of the titanic where these people were headed in this lost sub and so they hit the bottom there and it says they were trapped in depth that was twice that of any other previous submarine rescue there was more than enough water above them to submerge the Empire State Building in other words they were deeper than the Empire State Building is high but again only one-tenth of the depth of where this Titanic, the Titan sub was going.

Then they realized that the key problem for them was CO2. This is another reason I wanted to talk about this in depth. The big concern, these guys, was CO2. Said, we're going to die if we don't control the CO2. And they had a, you know, they're worried about their dwindling oxygen supply. But they knew they were going to die from CO2 poisoning before that would happen if their scrubber was not working. The scrubber was a device that would filter out the carbon dioxide. And they had to periodically run that. Fortunately for them, they still had power, so they could still run that. They heard, you know, as all the stuff was flying around and crashing,

they heard a hissing oxygen bottle. And the first thing that both of them thought about is, has the scrubber survived? And it did. But they were very concerned about it. And so they set alarms to wake themselves up every 30 minutes so they could activate the scrubber for a little bit of time. They knew that if they fell asleep and did not switch this thing on, they would die of CO2 poisoning. Do you think that there is a scrubber like that in this sub that has camping lights and Logitech controllers? Do you think they thought of that?

I'm not so sure. I mean, even if this thing did not implode, even if they floated to the surface and they're waiting to be found in this little tiny sub in a search area that is as big as the state of Connecticut, they may already be dead from CO2, if that is the case. And that's the key thing. It's one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about CO2. You know, going back over the last couple of years, look at the mania about telling people, you've got to wear the mask. Look at how they completely ignored osha's guidance where they would mandate under you know workers working under very dusty conditions sanding stuff things like that you've got to wear a mask

but you also got to be able to get out every 20 minutes and that's what these guys were looking at i said we got to turn this thing on every 20 minutes or this CO2 is going to get to us. They said they even experimented with a CO2 scrubber to try to save some of their air. But when they minimized the usage of it, they started getting headaches and body aches. This is real. You know, when you look at everything that was done to us during this lockdown, everything that they told us to do was the wrong thing to do. Whether you're talking about invasive ventilators,

killing people with bacterial pneumonia, or you look at remdesivir, killing people and not accomplishing anything, or you look at the masks, or you look at the vaccines, everything that they recommended for those, you know, 2020,

2021 and still going on. Everything that they recommended was absolutely wrong thing to do unless you want to kill people. And so these guys are there with their CO2. They're suffering from headaches and body aches if they try to minimize the usage of the scrubber. So it's like we've got to get the CO2 out. This is where it is really a problem, right?

Not in the atmosphere. Because God's created a lot of scrubbers. They're called plants and trees. And they constantly are scrubbing the atmosphere. But anyway, this article talks about how this began a desperate struggle to search for other subs that could get down that depth. So they had some other subs that were like this, and they had to bring these things in. So they were starting to run out of time. They had multiple attempts to secure a rescue line that had failed. I said, we're running out of time. Soon there would be no power to run out of time. They had multiple attempts to secure a rescue line that had failed. I said, we're running out of time.

Soon there would be no power to run this scrubber. Finally, nearly 70 hours into the ordeal, two lines were finally secured. And they talk in great deal, if you want to read this whole thing, about the people who were involved in the rescue side of it. And one guy had done some things for which he had won awards in the past. They had to halt the ascent twice. The first time because one of the other subs was entangled in the rescue line. Second time to attach another stronger rope. Finally, they got up. He looked at the oxygen gauge and he saw that there was only 20 minutes left of air. Later, they saw that the available oxygen was really only about 12 minutes.

A very scary situation. Again, this guy, that was 50 years ago. He's now 85 years old. And as he's looking at this thing, he's reliving it. They were rescued at twice the depth anybody else had ever been rescued. But they were at one-tenth the depth that this thing would be at, this Titanic Explorer, the Titan sub, if it went to the bottom of the ocean. We'll be right back. Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. Let's talk a little bit about CBDC and gold before we get to Hunter. And after we talk about Hunter, we're going to talk about the IRS and how it treats everybody else other than Hunter.

But biometrics and money, this was sent to me by a listener, enabling the future of identity-first finance. Look at this. Biometrics and money, enabling the future of identity-first finance, which is what they call it. And as they describe this seminar, and this was something that was put together in 2019. They're going way beyond this, but I thought that the title of this Identity First was an interesting thing. Gives all new spin to this know your customer rules that we see in the banks. so they said they've got a little point about what you'll learn in this seminar one of the things how biometrics enable

identity first mobile finance for consumers how biometrics can protect financial institutions in the era of data breaches and of course that is going to be the selling point for them. It's going to protect them from any liability. But we also have the IMF and all the global organizations are full speed ahead on this CBDC. Here is the IMF managing director, Kristalina Georgieva talking about CBDC. That if we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions. To have transactions more efficient and fairer, we need systems that connect countries. In other words, we need interoperability. And for this reason, at the IMF, we are working hard on the concept of a global CBDC platform to trade and to manage risks. And my colleague, Tobias Adrian, will talk more about it later. Yeah, it's got to be global.

And they got to all work together. Oh, and by the way, let's just make it a unified system. Let's just make a one world ID and a global currency. Because as they point out, you've got to have the ID. It is a prerequisite to CBDC. CBDC unlocks all the power that they want to have over us. But the key to that is creating a digital ID.

You go back and look at Zuckerberg's white paper that he put out several years ago about this time, about 2019. This is just done. But about the time of this biometric thing. And he said, I'll set up a CBDC for the world. I'll call it Libra. People think that they're getting liberated, right?

I'll call it Libra. And he had in there, in the white paper, he said, this will comprise a de facto global ID. Because he knows that's what they want. And so, you know, make me the world's richest man. And I'll give you an exchange for that, a way to number all of your subjects and track them like you do any kind of inventory item. So she's the IMF managing director, international monetary fund. They have to be interoperable between countries.

And so we're working on the concept of a global CBDC platform. And we've had other pronouncements from the IMF. And this last October, October 2022, one of the people working there, Bo Li, and he's the former People's Bank of China deputy governor, and he is the current IMF deputy managing director. Bo Lee said back in October, by programming CBDC, money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own it and what kind of use this money can be utilized. Oh, there you go.

What kind of people are going to be? Oh, the people that do what we say. What kind of use can this have? Well, for whatever we say. And, you know, this is one of the reasons why there's, we always look at gold. Is gold going to be a hedge against inflation? Yes.

Is it going to be a long run? Is it going to preserve your inflation? Yes. Is it going to be a long run is going to preserve your capital? Yes. However, the real issue now is far beyond that, in my opinion. The real issue is that they're going to determine what kind of people can have money and what kind of things the people that they even allow to have money can buy. You need to start making preparations about how you're going to have a parallel system. And you've got to do this from the local community up. Again, DavidKnight.gold to take you to Tony Arterburn and his Wise Wolf Gold, gold and silver. But, you know, you need to think about this, right?

You know, don't get locked into this submersible sub they call CBDC with no escape. 17 volts are being put in right now. You can see them. You can hear them. These people say, we're going to determine what kind of people can have money and what those people can use their money on. Non-traditional data can be very useful for financial service providers to give credit scores.

This is a guy coming from China, People's Bank of China. We know what that looks like. Social credit score, not just your financial credit score. It'll allow targeted policy functions. For example, welfare payments or consumption coupons like food stamps. This is the way Bill Gates worked with the government of India to establish their Aadhaar system. He said, yeah, we got to get these people who are out there using cash and they're not using the banking system. We got to get them into the banking system.

And everybody needs to have an ID. Oh, we do? Why is that, Bill? I everybody needs to have an ID. Oh, we do? Why is that, Bill? I don't really want an ID. I don't need an ID. Do I need an ID? Usually I need an ID to get government permission to do something, like to get on a plane or to drive a car, something like that. I'm not real big on government telling me that it's going to grant me privileges. So no, I don't need an ID. And the people in India didn't need it, but they blackmailed them by saying, well, we'll give you medical care. The poor people will give you medical care.

We'll give you food stamps, but you're going to have to take the Aadhaar number. He went on to say, what kind of people can own it? what kind of money can it be utilized? And that's, um, you know, the Chinese managing director, deputy managing director for the IMF, the bank of international settlements in 2021 said this identification is central and the design of CBDC central bank digital currencies. So the central ID, uh, the central concept of the central bank digital currencies. So the central ID, the central concept of the central bank digital currency is a common ID, a global ID. It's ultimately tied to a digital identity.

This digital identity, says the World Economic Forum, determines what products, services, and information we can access or what is closed off to us you get the idea they're all on the same page right this of course will most likely be biometric maybe some kind of a government mark that you get this biometric but you know it's kind of interesting to me that you can now see the certainty of this. This is no longer speculative. This is certain.

That's why I say David Knight died gold. Start preparing to get outside of their financial system, to get outside their beast system of control. And I've said before, when I was a child, I'd look at the book of Revelations and the eschatology, the understanding that the church that I was in as a child, I was like, this is obviously a metaphor. You can't, you know, imagine how would you enforce something like that? You couldn't enforce something like that. And yet now, it is certain.

And so we've gone from something that, well, has to obviously been symbolic, to something that's quite literal. It's something that was unthinkable to people for 2,000 years. And it's there. But going back to this group of usual suspects, think about this. We've got the IMF. We've got the Bank of International Settlements think about this. We've got the IMF. We've got the Bank of International Settlements, BIS. We now have the UN planning a digital ID that's linked to bank accounts. We have the World Economic Forum. We have the WHO that wants us.

All of these groups, right? IMF, BIS, UN, WEF, the WHO. All of them want the same thing. They're marching in lockstep. It is a conspiracy. It is a plan. A conspiracy is just saying that you've got two people working together on a plan. You've got more than two people. And you've got more than these five organizations that are working on it.

They've got every government on earth working on this. But these are the people at a global level, some of the biggest organizations. It is a vast global conspiracy. There's no other name for it. And it is a criminal operation. It is a crime against humanity. The UN's planning a digital ID that's linked to your bank account, of course, similar to what the World Economic Forum wants, similar to what the World Health Organization wants. They're going to have

a conference coming up next year, September 2024, just before the election. And they're putting together the policy briefs for that. They've got three different sections. Listen to the three sections. The global digital compact, reforms to international financial architecture, and the future of outer space governance. Well, we can forget about that one for the meantime, that last one, but the other two are tied together. Changing the entire international financial architecture and incorporating into it a global digital ID. It's part of their global digital compact. The UN describes this goal as, quote, an open, free, secure, and human-centered digital future. Yes, they're very interested in you and controlling you and minimizing the number of you, number of us.

They'd be governed by something called the apex body that is yet to be set up or defined, but they've got an idea of what they want to do with that. You see, they have very long ranging plans. They even talk about the apex body being something that they're not ready to tell us about yet. Why would they pick that name? Well, I guess because they're the apex predators. Essentially, the objective is to have people, devices, and entities all tied up in a connected network.

Let's call the Internet of Things. And they see people as things. They'll be tracked as inventory. The cars, the appliances, everything, including you. It can apparently be centrally administered by unelected bureaucrats. Well, that's the whole plan. The World Economic Forum has partnered with leading biometrics company to advance its own agenda to digitize humanity.

A Swedish biometrics company called Fingerprint Cards has taken a big step into the World Economic Forum's new champions community. The WEF is keen to promote biometric forms of digital ID and claims the technology would serve as a steward of, quote, social inclusion or exclusion, depending on whether they like you or not. It's just amazing to me to see this constant march.

Every day, I talk about another organization or group or conspiracy. Like yesterday, I talked about Barack Obama saying, we've got to have digital fingerprints for everybody. And we need to do this. We've already got the technology that's out there. Microsoft's been working on it with Adobe, other software manufacturers, with Intel, other hardware manufacturers, with the mainstream media that works for the government, the government mouthpieces, to determine who they want to shut down and to mark everything that you

create, whether it is text, a picture, a meme, audio, or video, mark all that to make sure that it doesn't go anywhere, that they can take it down, perhaps even not allow you to upload it in the first place. Everything that they're doing, every day, there's something else which people are relentlessly marching forward. Who is going to oppose this? Do you see anybody who says they're going to oppose this stuff at the top level? You know, RFK Jr. says he's going to talk a little bit about some of this stuff. But he doesn't even talk about the full extent of this. You know, he's opposed CBDC.

DeSantis has opposed CBDC. I think, was it Ramaswamy who said he opposed CBDC? I don't really have any confidence in him. He certainly doesn't have any chance to win. But he also has been somebody who has profiteered off of surveillance during the lockdown, working for the Republican governor in Ohio. And he paid a lot of people to scrub that information from Wikipedia. But it's still there.

And so as we see gold prices falling, you might want to think of it as a buying opportunity. Because I think in the long term, it is going to make a very strong case for being a hedge against inflation against economic malpractice or just say malice from the federal reserve but especially for the cbdc stuff uh so the gold futures fell because they're prioritizing saving the dollar system, saving the central banks. That is a priority for them over the economy.

And they'll do anything to the economy. And, of course, they're not doing enough in terms of raising interest rates to offset what they've already created. As this article from Gold Switzerland says, you can find it on Zero Hedge, solid gold in a broken world, making the financial case for this. And they talk about Powell, head of the Federal Reserve. What is he going to do with this? They said, well, for well over a year, we've openly declared that the Fed is cornered. That is, Powell knows, the head of the Federal

Reserve, knows that he needs higher rates to allegedly fight inflation. But he also knows that raising rates into an historical debt bubble means that one credit event or crunch after the next, from tanking treasuries to tanking banks. They tanked the treasury bills in 2020. They tanked banks in 2023. They said what has changed is now you have the Wall Street Journal and a former

Indian central banker are saying the same thing. They're trapped. They're on the horns of a dilemma. They haven't got a good choice one way or the other way. Powell is more than just a cornered banker, however, he says. He is, quote, human, all too human, as he has called himself.

He is a political man with admittedly more concerns about his legacy than he has about tanking the market or painful recession. I don't think it's just his legacy. He is there to serve the system. He is there to preserve the central bank system and the power of the fiat dollar, if he can. And everything else is disposable, is expendable in that quest. So he himself has said, I will not become just another Arthur Burns, which means I'm not going to be a dove as the market races toward a financial horror film that the Fed itself directed.

This corner banker is instead trying to be Paul Volcker, but he's forgotten that Volcker raised rates to fight inflation when the public debt was at $800 billion, not 32 trillion. In other words, when it was, it's now 40 times bigger than it was when Paul Volcker raised interest rates so high. And like banana republics, the U.S. is now in a corner where inflation is too sticky to cut rates, yet banks and other credit participant pains are too high to raise the rates. So what do they do? Well, you know, you could always run for office and take payoffs like the Bidens and all these other politicians that they're bragging about paying off at BlackRock. We're going to take a quick break and we come back. We're going to talk about Hunter and how he got off with absolutely nothing.

And we'll talk about how the IRS and the federal government comes after ordinary people like you and I. We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, the Babylon Bee summed it up better than anybody, I think, in terms of this hunter outrage, and it is an outrage. You want to talk about a corrupt government, a corrupt system of justice? Look, no matter how many real crimes Trump were to commit, and of course he did commit real crimes that they're not coming after him for, and that is the vaccine, the lockdowns, the crimes against our Constitution, gun control by executive order, all the rest of these things.

There's so many things there. But, of course, they don't do it about that. And most people in the U.S. are so fed up with the national security state, they don't really care about classification of documents. But the big overriding thing is the obvious in your face, unequal treatment, depending on your political party, your political beliefs. This is the banana Republic argument.

And it is very strong. You know, how do you go down by the book and by the letter to the full extent of the law with one politician and then you know the enemy the opponent of the current president and the president and his family have absolutely nothing done to them this is why nobody cares to even look at the evidence about this it's clear that he broke the law, but it's a law that most average Americans don't really care about.

And what they care about more is this biased political system that's here. Hunter is seen at the courthouse as a Babylon Bee trying to weigh crack on Lady Justice's scales. Well, these scales of justice are really unequal now. I don't know if he could get an accurate weight with that or not. And of course, a blindfold has come off. Justice is supposed to be blind. It's not supposed to care who the person is, is supposed to be objective and look at the crime but of course that's not what we have uh hunter biden seen trying to weigh large quantities of crack cocaine on the scales held by the statue of the lady of justice yeah exactly he's not going to be charged with money laundering

he's not going to be charged with bribery he's not going to be charged with human trafficking they go for the small crimes. Does this sound like the Clintons? Does this sound like what Ken star? Oh, he's such a conservative. He's such a strong Christian. You know, we're all told he's got strong Christian convictions and very conservative or he's real. You can trust him.

If there's any crimes about bill Clinton, he'll bring them out. Well, there was ample evidence of violent sexual attacks, ample evidence of criminal money dealings and all this other stuff. And he focused instead on a process crime that he had under oath told a lie about a consensual affair. That's all Ken Star did. And now lie about a consensual affair. That's all Ken, uh, Ken star did. And now, uh,

you see a similar thing with this, a slap on the wrist, ignore the big crimes of money laundering, bribery, and human trafficking to Mr. Meter counts of failing to pay his federal income taxes on at least $3 million. Even that,

when you look at this, how many of you think that if you failed to pay taxes on $3 million that the IRS would treat this as a misdemeanor? Do you really think I should get Joe Bannister on and ask him that question? Hey, Joe, you were a criminal investigator. You know, Joe Bannister became a whistleblower for the IRS. When you had a case and you had somebody had $3 million, they just blew it off and they're paying taxes on it. You think the IRS would just say, that's a misdemeanor. We don't really care. You know, there was no mention of the unpaid taxes on the $10 million bribe that he and Joe Biden got from the Ukrainians, from Burisma, that type of thing.

But I can imagine that if they're going to blow off $3 million, it's just a misdemeanor charge. They'll probably blow off the $10 million as a misdemeanor charge. I thought it was interesting to go back and let's take a look at Al Capone. Al Capone did have more money involved in this than these guys are talking about. But remember, politicians are cheap. You can get a lot of things from them for just a little bit of money. And of course, it's really the bribery and the money laundering and the human trafficking that are the real crimes anyway. Not so much the unpaid taxes, but when they couldn't get Al Capone on prohibition violation, what did they get him on? They got him on income tax evasion. Elliot Ness and the Untouchables couldn't lay a finger on Al Capone. They took him down with an accountant. He bragged,

he said, you can't get me for not paying taxes on illegal money. Oh yeah. Well, he died in prison. He was making the estimate about $60 million a year, which is about $900 million a year in 2020. They got him for 22 counts of income tax evasion. They fined him $50,000 at the time, which again is about $800,000 today. A lot more than Hunter got involved, but it is more money. But again, they're ignoring the big charges that are there. But anyway, just for the income tax stuff, Al Capone got a big fine.

He got 11 years in jail and he had to pay back taxes, which in today's had to pay back taxes, I should say, that he did not do. So that's about $3 million bill that he had, but he certainly had the money for that. It was the jail time that got him. But of course, no jail time for Hunter. You look at how other people have been treated over this improper lobbying, for example, take a look at how they threw the book at Paul Manafort, right? And again, the, the comparison to Al Capone is appropriate because this is somebody that they wanted to take down. We can't get him on all these other crimes that we know he committed. So let's get him on income tax evasion. Or you take a look at Dennis Hastert. We know this guy is a pedophile. He's being blackmailed by this guy, but he took out money out of his bank account and he didn't. And he did it in a way to avoid

being questioned about it. He'd already paid the taxes on it, or they would have sent him to jail for tax evasion, right? That's why they have the know your customer rules and they have the reports that now Biden wants to take it down, wanted to take it down to, you know, $600 while you file a report. And they got to the point where he said, look, even with the computers, we can't handle all that information. So let's, you know, get rid of that. But Biden wanted to know everything about all of you, all your money. But we're not supposed to take a look at the millions of dollars in bribes that he was taking and even trafficking that he was doing. But when they want to get somebody, they will find a way to get them.

Again, they'll come after Dennis Astert over this non-crime of structured withdrawals. They'll come after Paul Manafort, who really didn't do anything that Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Podesta, did the same thing. They had the same clients, Ukrainians and Russians and things like that. They didn't come after him. They came after Paul Manafort. So we've been seeing this skewed, politicized, quote-unquote, justice system for quite some time.

Manafort was sentenced to 60 months in prison in 2018 for these kinds of violations of foreign registration and lobbying, as well as 30 months more for tax and bank fraud and witness tampering. He was pardoned by Trump. The House Oversight Committee is probing claims from an FBI informant who alleged that Hunter and Joe each received a $5 million bribe to help Burisma's owner evade a corruption investigation of his own. So you have a guy in Ukraine, which many people, including Bill Gates, have said, you know, Ukraine's the most corrupt government,

or at least, you know, in the world. And you've got a guy who was being investigated for corruption in Ukraine, which they typically let these things go, evidently. But he was one of the most corrupt people in a corrupt country. Or maybe they just came after him because he was a political enemy,

you know, like Biden is doing. And so he got Biden to call off the prosecutor. Biden bragged about that. We got video clips of him. I went there and I told him, call off this guy. And he was, you know, son of a gun. He was gone in no time at all. And then if you want to continue to tell you what happened, he'd say, and then they sent me $10 million.

I split it with Hunter. The committee has also come through bank records and found evidence that at least nine Biden family members received payouts of multimillion dollar deals linked to China and to Ukraine. Hunter Biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist when growing evidence uncovered by the house oversight committee reveals that the Biden's engaged in a pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery, says the oversight panel chairman, James Comer. So the problem is, is that the FBI is not investigating this. The problem is that they're covering it up.

They're doing an active cover-up of these crimes. They're not just not doing their job. They're doing the opposite of their job. They're covering up the crimes of their boss these charges against hunter biden and sweetheart plea deal has no impact on the oversight committee's investigation he said well let's take a look at how they treat the common person this is a story from gateway pundit jim hoff picked up on this one he said compare the way they treated this 69-year-old grandma with cancer. She was given prison time because she simply walked inside the U.S. Capitol. She wasn't attacking

anybody. She wasn't hurting anybody. Compare what she got with Hunter Biden, who shared classified documents with foreign regimes and was involved in multimillion dollar bribery schemes he gets no prison time and the 69 year old grandmother with cancer gets months in prison simply because she walked through their precious temple after five years of investigation, the Biden Department of Justice found Hunter Biden guilty of two misdemeanors and one gun charge. Well, you know, when you look at what she got, she was a former drug and alcohol counselor. He was a drug addict. She was helping people to get over these things. She has been sober for 42 years.

She helped thousands of addicts. She was arrested after January the 6th. 69-year-old grandma, cancer patient, went to prison for 60 days for walking into their precious U.S. Capitol building and taking video. They found her guilty of trespassing. It is a misdemeanor, like his misdemeanors, of not paying taxes on millions of dollars, but he will go free, and she goes to prison for months.

And interestingly enough, they did not mention this $10 million bribery scheme. Does that mean that they're going to bring it up somewhere else, or are they just going to blow that off and not even pay any attention to it because it's so damaging? U.S. Attorney David Weiss appears to exclude the alleged Biden $10 million bribery scheme that an FBI informant documented and that Weiss reportedly got from former Attorney General William Barr.

Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee ripped the Justice Department for appearing to ignore the bribery scandal. She said, quote, if the Justice Department thinks this dismisses the $5 million alleged bribery scheme or the years of reported Biden family corruption, they are mistaken. According to recent polling, 83% of voters believe the FBI should make public its informant file that alleges that Biden accepted a $5 million bribe from Ukrainian oligarch Mikola Zlochevsky. In addition, a majority of voters believe that Biden took the $5 million bribe. And yet, how many of those people who believe that he took the bribe will vote for him?

That's the key thing. See, that's where the real corruption is. It's not just true of institutions. It's true of countries. As we've said many times, you know, Frank Serpico quoted him. He says, you know, there's bad cops. But like any institution, you're going to have good and bad people in there. And when you make excuses for the bad people, then what that does is that corrupts the institution.

So what does it do to a country when we, the voters, make excuses for the bad things that are done by Biden or by Trump? I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. He's my guy. Is that any different from a cop who brutally beats or kills somebody and it's not justified? And the police force says, yeah, but he's our cop. He's one of our own.

And we're going to protect him. Are we doing the same thing when we say, yeah, but he's a Democrat or he's a Republican and he gets a pass? This is one of the things that makes me so disgusted to see this partisanship of this guy Santos, this guy who lied about everything, who's committed multiple crimes. He's nothing but a freshman congressman.

But they've latched onto him. McCarthy latched onto him. Marjorie Taylor Greene latched onto him. These Republicans who latch onto somebody like Santos because he's part of our club. He's one of us. See, we've got to not do that as Republicans, as Republican voters, or as Democrats. Shame on us if we do that type of thing. We deserve what we get to live in this kind of a country filled with corruption, a corrupt people who embrace this because they can get something out of this. You see, we're no different when we do that.

We're no different from Joe Biden or Hunter. We're equally to blame. Or from Trump. You know, you are angry about the vaccine, so am I. But you're going to support the guy who gave us the vaccine and who bragged about it? The guy who accepted a bribe from big pharmaceutical companies to put in Alex Azar, the CEO of Eli Lilly as HHS? The guy who kicked this stuff all off with his January order?

You're going to support somebody that corrupt, as corrupt as Donald Trump? You're just as bad as the Democrats supporting the Bidens or the Republican congressional leadership supporting Santos. You just want to get something out of it. Turley, Jonathan Turley said, this is going to look like you ticketed the getaway driver after a bank robbery. That's exactly what is happening.

This plea deal has the makings of the avoidance of any jail time, but more importantly, it was an evasion of the more serious allegations facing Hunter Biden and the Biden family. So it is historic in the sense that the president's son is going to plead guilty to criminal facts. It's going to be very controversial for critics. I think for many, this is going to look like you ticketed the getaway

driver after a bank robbery. Many people view the influence peddling allegation as being a very serious form of corruption with potential crime. And he's going to plead guilty to a relatively minor tax and gun charges. And that's not going to satisfy a lot of folks. Well, it certainly doesn't satisfy me. And I'm not satisfied by anybody making excuses for crimes conducted by somebody who they like. We'll be right back. ¶¶ Analyzing the Globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show.

Welcome back, and I want to thank on Rockfan Carious Rex. Thank you very much for the tip there. I really do appreciate that. And, you know, it's brought to my attention there was a question about climate change, and I'm going to try to get to that today from a listener, somebody who supports me on Subscribestar. He said, I left this question on Subscribestar. I knew I'd seen it somewhere before, but I forgot to talk about it.

And I know I don't talk about, um, and I have not responded. It's my fault to a lot of people on subscribe star. So they get the idea that I'm, I'm not listening. So I just want to thank a lot of the people there. They've been a stalwarts to support us on a regular basis. They also do, uh, leave tips from time to time. Uh, this is from Tim. He said, David, I usually enjoy going to a few Blue Jay games in the summer

but for some reason I just can't do that anymore I wonder why is it because the sisters of perpetual indulgence instead of getting played by Major League Baseball and the anti-human lunatics I would much rather my money go somewhere where those plays get dissected and demolished so I've upped my monthly subscription to the David Knight show. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Uh, another one here. This is a chancellor 69.

I completely support your decision to remove ads this month. I'm doubling my monthly donation to try to help cover the lack of ad revenue. Thank you very much. Uh, also you should know that I live in Finland and on the podcast, they insert ads based on your region. Last month, they were running an ad in Finnish promoting the Pfizer vaccine for kids on your program. So it's not over. Yeah, they did that.

The first month we activated the ads was December of 2021. And then we found out that they were running the Pfizer things, but those stopped right away. But evidently they're running in Finland as well. Here is a tip for you today. He says, your words have helped me in many years. I'm so grateful you and your family. God bless you.

Thank you very much. That's from a subscriber and just has a number there. Lazarus Sen, thank you very much for that. Let me just mention a few other people here because these are the people who have left tips and messages in the last month and actually going back to about the 19th of May. This is from Deborah, said happy Father's Day. Anthony said never sell out andrew and jelly uh thank you it confirms continually confirms my decision not to take the jab that was a correct one you also saved my wife and brother i've been listening from australia for many years since your first appearance your

former employer thank you very much for letting me know that it makes a big difference to me. I mean, I have, as we all know, you know, I know people, friends, family members who don't listen to what I have to say about the vaccine. And that is a very concerning thing. I mean, you know, there's so much information. Where do I even start to tell somebody that doesn't listen to my program because they're a Democrat or something? And they don't like my position on policies and they don't like my position on my religious beliefs

and they don't listen. How do I tell them about these vaccines? It's a real problem. It really is. It just, I really do appreciate you letting me know when I've had some positive effect on people because I've not had an effect on some people that I wanted to have an effect on.

Let's talk a little bit about the IRS and how it has been weaponized. Report from Lou Rockwell. It's not just the FBI. The IRS has gone into beast mode. They may let Hunter and the Bidens skate with just a misdemeanor charge and a little bit of a fine for not reporting $3 million in taxes. It just blows my mind. I mean, it's not just this.

We could go through and we could find tens of thousands of people at least, maybe hundreds of thousands of people who got far more punishment from the IRS for far less unreported income. But as I say in this article, we've seen for some time how the rails have come off of the FBI, how it's come off the rails, how it's become a danger for a free society. I talked to Stephen Friend last week, the FBI whistleblower. He was very much about that.

More and more evidence now shows that it's not just the FBI, however. Every federal employee with a badge and a gun seems to think that he's a law unto himself. And that used to be the phrase that everybody would use about the IRS. It's a law unto itself. That's where it all really began, more than any other agency. But they all operate that way now. They all operate from the standpoint, we are a regulatory agency.

We write the rules. The IRS makes rules, right? The Congress will create general tax policy and the congress funds the irs but the irs comes up with the details they come up with the rules and how they're going to implement it and so forth and the devil is in those details and then they have their own enforcement people and then they have their own courts tax courts and forth. And because this is a rule and not a law that was passed by Congress, you have no due process. You have no presumption of innocence and all the rest of the stuff.

But now everybody is doing that. We saw the massive fines coming from the FAA. Tens of thousands of dollars in fines for some people who did not wear a mask and had the audacity to talk back to their betters, you know, the airline stewardesses or whatever, who they argued with these people. You're supposed to bow and scrape to them. There's a pecking order, just like there was in East Germany.

There's one person who lived there who was a communist, moved there, an American who moved there, said, you know, I was really surprised to see all these people reporting me to the Stasi. All these people I thought were my friends. And they would be the nicest people and just so congenial. And then you would go to the butcher shop and you would wait in line

to get whatever they had. And when you got up there, they were the most, the same person that you just talked to outside and was so kind that be the most officious, obnoxious person you can imagine. Because now they're in a position of power. They live in a society where everybody is under the thumb of the government. And when you finally get in a position where you got power and you're in charge of other

people, you lord it over them like a dictator. And that's what we're seeing with all of these different agencies. While Matt Taibbi was testifying before Congress on the administration's extensive censoring of social media content, the IRS appeared at his door ostensibly to question him about his taxes. But obviously it was to intimidate him for showing up and talking about government censorship. He has told Mr. Jordan's committee about the IRS agent showing up at his personal residence. He left a note instructing Taibbi to call the IRS four days later. Taibbi was told in a call with an agent that both his 2018 and 2021 tax returns have been rejected, owing to concerns over identity theft.

Oh, we don't think that was really you. Oh, it really is me. Well, I can't accept it because we're still concerned about your identity. He said the IRS never notified him or his accountants of a problem after he filed the 2018 return more than four and a half years ago. He says the IRS initially rejected his 2021 return, which he later refiled, and it was rejected again, even though, he says, his accountants refiled it

with an IRS-approved or provided PIN number. So are they after him? Well, of course they are. You've got Jim Jordan as he's holding these hearings but doing nothing to rein in the IRS. That's a key thing, right? Understand. Well, this is nice to know.

And isn't it nice that Jim Jordan is going to grandstand about this stuff and do absolutely nothing about it. We've been having these things happen for years. Why don't they do something about it? No, they want to get on TV. That's their ticket to become a Fox contributor. It disgusts me. I'm as disgusted with these do nothing Republicans showboating with their dog and pony shows as I am with the IRS itself and the corrupt government that gets away with this stuff. The IRS, the FBI, the ATF, all

these things. He revealed in a letter that he'd recently learned of allegations about an IRS agent who had allegedly used a fake name to enter a taxpayer's home and then threatened her. The letter explained that the agent was going by the name of Bill Haas, but that wasn't his real name. They found his real name later. He showed up at the Ohio woman's home in April, telling her that he can, quote, go into anyone's house at any time. Oh, well, that's interesting.

And you know, these people who are literally a law unto themselves, the Democrats wanted to take the agency, which was entire budget last year. The entire budget of the IRS was $14 billion. Biden wanted to give them $80 billion more. $80 billion more. He wanted to grow them, make them seven times larger than they are right now. Just beggar's belief. How are you going to control that?

Well, you're not going to control it. The Republicans, on the other hand, said, we're not going to do that. That's ridiculous. We're only going to grow this $14 billion agency by giving it an additional $60 billion. So the Republicans will increase it, give an increase that is four times its current annual budget and make it five times bigger than it is now. Isn't that nice? You know, Republicans always just a little bit less than the Democrats

and then ratcheting up and making permanent the aggressions of the IRS. Now, the Republicans would never propose an increase in the IRS's budget that is four times its entire budget right now. Just the increase, four times. Make it five times bigger. They would never start with that. No. Instead, they let the Democrats put it out there.

The Democrats are shameless in this stuff. And the Republicans say, well, we'll do a little less. Instead of making it seven times the size it is right now, we'll make it five times the size that it is right now. And everybody's like, well, I'm sure I'm glad I voted Republican. Look at how they're saving us from the out-of-control bureaucracy that taxes us without representation, regulates us without representation,

has a double standard for politicians and other people, a double standard for which political party you're in. After calling her attorney, the woman who said this agent came in was instructed to tell the agent to leave, but he refused to leave, claiming he could be at any house at any time, according to the letter. Eventually left, but allegedly threatened that she had, quote, one week to satisfy the remaining balance or he would freeze all of her assets and put a lien on her house.

She called the police, who then contacted him and determined that he was using a false identity that instructed him to stay away from the taxpayer. But even though he was using a false identity, he really was an IRS agent. They contacted his supervisor on May the 4th, and the taxpayer did, and the supervisor of this guy told her, you don't owe anything, and the thing should never have gotten this far. And then they closed the case the next day. See, if you shine the light on these cockroaches, they run away. That's what happened.

It's not because of anything other than the publicity that she got out of this. Meanwhile, you got armed ATF and IRS agents hitting a Montana gun store. So now they're teaming up. So we've got the corrupt FBI. We've got the corrupt IRS. We've got the corrupt ATF. We've got the ATF and the IRS coming together to raid a gun store in Montana. Tom Van Hoos, the owner of High Creek, uh, Highwood Creek Outfitters

said 20 heavily armed agents swarmed his gun shop and confiscated 13 years of 4473 forms. He said it was a Soviet-style intimidation raid. He believes he could be part of a nationwide trend by Biden's ATF. Again, if you want to go after somebody you don't like, you use the IRS. After Al Capone, use the IRS. Go after gun store owners, small gun store owners. Use the IRS. But we're not going to go after Hunter Biden with the IRS. No. uh, use the IRS, but we're not going to go after Hunter Biden with the IRS. No, um, you'll never see them. You'll never see any of the 80,000 new IRS agents going anywhere near the Bidens.

And then there's this story that was sent to me by a listener, civil asset forfeiture. Another aspect of this, this particular thing was a gift of the drug war. But of course, it has a long evolution of going through the RICO statutes and going through other things, going after organized crime, is how we got to this point. This is one county in Nebraska, Seward County. They needed to change the name to Ross Seward County. That's what this place is filled with.

Population, 17,962, just under 18,000 people, small town. 455 miles of interstate 80 run through Nebraska, but one 24-mile stretch has become nationally known or notorious for a particular type of traffic stop that sends millions to this one little county and its sheriff's office. This is far worse than a speed trap anybody's ever come up with. This is civil asset forfeiture. This is a listener. Jeremy sent this to me. Thank you, Jeremy. Seward County deputies, in one particular case that they talk about here, the first one, 2020 found $18,000 in cash rolled up in a blue sleeping bag in the back seat. They said, this is drug money.

It's money for my trip to Colorado, he said. And there on the side of the road, 1300 miles from his Virginia home in a state where he knew nobody, a sheriff's deputy handed him a form. Well, you can sign this piece of paper and abandon the $18,000 to us and avoid arrest and continue on to Colorado. Don't sign and you will go to jail. Don't sign. And you could face felony charges.

Your van will be towed. Your dog will be taken to the town. He said they were trying really hard to get me to sign that, but they didn't. I'm reminded of Lysander Spooner when I see these types of cases here. Lysander Spooner, 19th century libertarian, said the government is like a highway robber. The difference is that a highway robber just steals your purse and leaves you alone the government steals your purse and follows you down the highway nagging you

the sheriff's office has specialized in and perfected the practice known as civil asset forfeiture despite a 2016 law meant to ban it in nebraska, it was a 2018 that I was interviewed by Megan Kelly when she came to set up Alex. And she didn't know what civil asset for. It came up during our discussion there when she was interviewing me.

She had no idea. She's a lawyer. She's paid $25 million a year at Fox News. She has no idea and could care less. Couldn't care less. One out of every three civil forfeiture cases in Nebraska are in that little county. It all began when steward deputy stops a driver on I-80. Nearly all of them involve an out-of-state driver.

Nearly all the seized money ends up in the hands of the sheriff's department there. After the drivers are faced with a split-second choice between money or jail, sign the form and give me the cash. Armed robbery. And, you know, we saw the case, and I've talked about it before, the armed robbery in San Bernardino, California. The sheriff's department there decided that even though it was legal to have these marijuana dispensaries, that they were going to partner with the federal government, and they were going to steal money from people.

And they literally did robberies of the armored cars. You had an armored car company, and they would go to various businesses and pick up their cash. And one of those businesses was a marijuana dispensary that was legal under state law. San Bernardino Sheriff's Department followed them, pulled them over and stole all the cash from all the businesses that they picked up. And, um, you know, like a million dollars or something. I forget the exact amount, but it was really big. Then they did it a second time,

and they did it under this civil asset forfeiture thing. Literal armed robbery by the sheriff's waiting for them. Did it a second time, and that time they made sure that they were not carrying as much money when they went through San Bernardino County. And then they did it a third time. The third time, the armored car company had set up a camera and they caught the deputies saying,

they don't have any money here. They must have known we were coming. I thought we were going to get a lot of money. We were told we were going to be a lot of cash in the thing. They're nothing but robbers. Robbers with badges. Hey, we don't need no stinking badges here. In the past five years,

they have hauled in seven and a half million dollars from forfeitures there's no no other thing for that than just theft it's nothing other than theft and that has been there for a long time mainstream media doesn't care about it republicans and democrat politicians don't care about it if the drivers fight back they rarely get their money back because they have to, you begin with a presumption that you're guilty. You've got to prove you're innocent. And, of course, that's a logical impossibility.

That's always the position of tyrants, and that is the way all of these agencies operate, that you are guilty and you must prove your innocence. And so, you know, they're splitting the money with a state fund and with education people, you know, so they can groom the little kids and stuff like that with the money that they stole from people who had done absolutely nothing wrong.

We'll take a break. We'll be right back. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. And I just want to thank a couple of people. I don't have the list in front of me of the people that have sent contributions by mail this month. But I do want to thank Faye. Thank you very much. We are up to 52% now. So we got the gauge setting at 50%, but it's exactly at 52 percent and i want to thank amos um for the check and for the book that he sent uh it's a book about contagion and

i found i began reading it i thought it's very interesting it's something that you know you get into the back and forth the debate about viruses and you know the virus theories is this something that genuinely exists and you understand that as carrie m Mullis said, Fauci thinks you can look in a microscope and say a virus, you can't. And so it's one of these things like the understanding of how, you know, atomic level models, right? You had the Bohr's, Niels Bohr's model of the atom. And now we've got other different models of this with quantum physics and things. And so there's a lot of different ways to try to understand something that you can't really observe.

Or that sometimes in the case of nuclear stuff, if you do observe it, you have messed with it and you've changed it. So you can't observe it without even changing it. So know these are abstractions that have have come up when you talk about viruses and but it's something that i chose not to talk about at the time because again my concern was to try to give as simple an explanation to people as possible to keep them from getting hurt with these vaccines. And so I would tell them, look, this is a plan. They've talked about this.

They've prepared for this for a very, very long time. And you know that this is not something that has been tested for safety or effectiveness. It makes absolutely no sense to say from a logical standpoint that my mask doesn't protect me, but your mask protects me. So you got to wear a mask, not just me, or the same thing with the vaccine that they'd said for years. So I tried to focus on things like that. Focus on, do you understand, you know, can you exercise some discernment here and see the conflicts and interest, how reckless, how unscientific this is? Look at how they lied about the statistics here.

Look at how they're lying about the statistics here with the PCR. So I tried to focus on all that stuff to try to keep people from taking the shots. But now is the time that maybe we get a little bit deeper into some of the deception that has been there from the scientific community for quite a long time. So I will take a look at that. Thank you, Amos. I appreciate that. Let's see. Let's talk a little bit about the election stuff. And because there is a lot to talk about with this. We have, when it comes to RFK Jr., for example, uh, Luke Radowski, who I have, uh,

had the pleasure to meet several times at Bilderberg, he has, we are change. And he put up a thing. So I played a small clip of RFK Jr. to comment on, on my YouTube video today. And now my entire channel has been demonetized. He said, so he put it up and he said, so should I go to Twitter? Should I go to rumble and do a full interview with RFK jr. Now? And, uh, of course, you know, uh, I'm surprised that he was still there on YouTube. But again, uh, he is the person that they don't want talked about. And see, this is one of the things that I said, I thought it was really good. I was very excited to see him running because I knew that even if he didn't want to talk about it and there's a big article about RFK Jr on NBC and all they

want to talk about is the vaccine stuff. They want to come after him for vaccines. And as they're talking about it, they say, well, you know, he goes on the campaign trail and he doesn't to talk about is the vaccine stuff. They want to come after him for vaccines. And as they're talking about it, they say, well, you know, he goes on the campaign trail and he doesn't even talk about it. He didn't talk about it with his campaign launch. He doesn't like to talk about it because he knows they're going to bring it up. He doesn't have to bring it up. There's other things that he wants to talk about.

He knows that they will bring up the subject. I know they're going to bring up the subject. And so I'm glad to see that they are. I'm glad to see this debate. I think it's a big win for all of us to have this debated. And again, we can say, well, I don't think he's pure enough on vaccines. He got his kids, got the vaccines and things like that. And he says he's not against vaccines and, you know, vaccines could be made safe and all the rest of the stuff. Look, that is, I think, splitting hairs. Because again, you could theoretically, I guess, have a clean vaccine. Whether or not it works, that's another story.

But, you know, you could have something that exposes the body to a pathogen in order to train it, the immune system. But that's not necessarily something, I don't see this as many people do. I don't see him betraying the anti-vaccine movement. He's pushing it back against that label, just like you'd push back against any pejorative label that they're trying to hang on him. And I don't have any problem accepting the label of conspiracy theorist or any vax person. I'm fine with that. I don't care.

But you understand that that's a label that is meant to demonize people, so I understand when he does push back on it. But I thought it was interesting because the whole take on this was, what is this anti-vaccine crusade? What would it look like in the White House? Experts. Experts, unnamed experts. NBC News is doing this for the government. And they say experts fear his anti-vaccine activism threatens public health in America. And they're still running that time. And that's what this is all really about. It's still the same type of stuff that you saw on day one. Well, you know, his sister and cousin or something like that, some

of the couple of his relatives had said in 2020 or 2021, his opposition to vaccines is dangerous. Are you really going to try to run with that line? When you look at people who now know, in spite of all your efforts to lie and to cover this up? Everybody knows how dangerous the vaccines are. Everybody knows it's the vaccines that are killing people. Yeah, there's going to be a few people that you can fool all the time, but everybody's waking up to this. And go ahead and have that discussion with RFK Jr. I'm glad they're going to have that. Biden's not going to debate him, but the press will debate him. And when you see people like Peter Hotetz running the other way as hard as he can,

that's a very telling thing. And public sees that. We're not that stupid, right? And you don't have to pay that much attention in order to see what's happening with us right now. So NBC in their smear says he sees America as a divided place where a few elite conspire to crush the rest and where doctors poison the public and where few institutions or experts can be trusted. He tells me people should be scared. Well, he's telling the truth about that. And as they are trying to criticize him, people see through this just like we see through the juvenile Russians. Could see through the juvenile propaganda of his Vestia and Pravda for 70 years. And the more they were adamant about it, the more transparent it was.

And so, yeah, gripped by conspiracy theories. He imagines clouds as government-sprayed chemicals, cellular networks as surveillance plots, and life-saving vaccines as poison. We're talking about chemtrails. We're talking about surveillance, geospatial intelligence network. You want to tell people that, no, they're not really using the cell phone system as surveillance tell that to the people january 6th i mean what's the matter

with nbc they think they can get away with these kind of juvenile lies and so then there was a back and forth with ben shapiro about um whether or not uh you know rfK, well, I don't know to support him, but you know, all the things he says. But I do agree that this vaccine, this Trump shot is bad. He doesn't call it the Trump shot. But now Ben Shapiro can even come out and say that. This is what

he had to say when it really mattered. And we have seen a tremendous amount of vaccine hesitancy, unfortunately, in the Black and Hispanic community. If they come up with a vaccine, be careful. Don't let them vaccinate you with their history of treachery through vaccines. Black America, only 67% of black Americans say they definitely will get the vaccine

or probably get the vaccine. So the black community has tremendous vaccine hesitancy. That is a real problem. They are making money now, plotting to give 7 7 billion 500 million people a vaccination dr fauci bill gates and melinda you want to depopulate the earth? What the hell gives you that right? The people who should be ripped up and down right now are people like Louis Farrakhan,

who's literally going out there and telling his millions of followers that the COVID vaccine is a vial of death. Have you seen any media coverage of this? If a major conservative figure who had met with a bunch of members of Congress were out there literally telling people that the COVID vaccine was a vial of death, you know that would be at the front of every single newspaper, right? Conservatives deny vaccine efficacy. And yet here was Louis Farrakhan doing just that. Democratic members of Congress have met with this guy.

They continue to meet with this guy. Have you seen a headline about this? Here is Louis Farrakhan, who has many, many followers, talking about how the COVID vaccine is a vial of death. All right, that's enough of Ben Shapiro. I can't take any more of that guy. What a lying snake he is. He said, oh, yeah, my wife is a doctor.

She knows. You should all take this. Do you think that he was focusing on black Democrats? Was that who he was talking to? Is that his audience? No, he was trying to convince the Trumpers to take it after all i mean it's uh president trump's shot and mark levin in january of 2020 was out there saying you know you got to take credit for this don't let biden take credit for this shot this is your shot you should take credit for it you

should be proud of it right and then you got Shapiro out there making money off of this. Everything that Farrakhan said about that was true. Everything was true. Everything that Ben Shapiro said was a bold-faced lie. And Ben Shapiro is not stupid. He's a traitorous grifter. And just look at some of the stuff that he put out as he started talking about RFK and stuff. In other words, he says in December 8th, 2020, before it was even available.

In other words, get the vaccine, dopes. Here he is. Here are your choices. Public policymakers either tell people that after the vaccines, they can go back to regular life or people will start going back to regular life without getting vaccinated. There is no third choice where people get vaccinated and then keep locking down.

So right now your idiotic rhetoric is generating the worst possible, worst available option. The second one, which is where a large batch of Americans refuse to get the vaccine, then see that the virus numbers are going down and thus return to regular life unvaccinated. So what has been Shapiro's goal here? Same as Fauci get everybody vaccinated. You heard this from the Democrat side as well.

The Democrats are saying, gosh, uh, Rand Paul, are you kidding me? The people who've got natural immunity or the people who even who have been vaccinated, you're not going to tell them they can get back to normal life? You realize people aren't going to take your vaccine? Isn't that what you want them to do? Isn't that, weren't we told by the World Economic Forum and by the UN and by Bill Gates? Weren't we told that our prime objective was to get everybody injected with this? What's the matter with you?

You're not doing it right. Ben Shapiro. Between Fauci's ongoing minimization of vaccine efficacy, CNN blowing its vaccine on airlines numbers, and the misconstrual of the South African variant information, the insane COVID panic porn is out of control right now, he said, on April 11th of 2021. But here's the reality. Data shows extraordinarily low levels of transmissibility from those who have been vaccinated. No, Ben, it didn't ever show

anything like that. That was April of 2021. The data didn't show anything about that. You want to ignore all the VAERS database? That's what Ben Shapiro wanted to do. And then you take a look at this last one here, also in April. Everyone should get vaccinated if they're at risk of COVID. And of course, everybody is at risk of COVID. Also, the media's COVID vaccine denialism is insane. But now he's changed.

Now he's changed because like most of these people, Ben Shapiro determines his position on issues by wetting his finger and sticking it in the wind and by satisfying the demographic that he's going to make money from. Kennedy went on to say, there are rules that make it difficult for the public airwaves to censor you. So I thought, well, maybe I should run. But my wife would never let me run just to make a point.

And so in this article, again, they continue to try to portray anybody who is skeptical of taking a genetic modification injection that has not been tested for safety or efficacy. Anybody that doesn't do something like that, you're obviously lunatic. Keep up with this stuff. It is absolutely ridiculous. And again, this is why I said I've got some real issues with his position on climate change, even with what he's done in the past with free speech,

even though now he is really talking a lot about free speech. He needs to address those issues. And I disagree with him on many other issues, on abortion and many other issues that I think are important. However, his presence there to talk about these vaccine lies is really valuable. Unlike Ben Shapiro, unlike so many of these big talkers, Joe Rogan example, another, as I mentioned yesterday, you don't even get to talk to Joe Rogan during the pandemic panic, unless you've got a PCR and you're all masked up

and all the rest of this stuff. No, um, it's, it's good to have somebody there that they can, uh, uh, hit with their absurd propaganda. We're gonna take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to have Eric Peters on the line. It's been a while since we talked. Really anxious to talk to him again.

We'll be right back. Decoding the mainstream propaganda.'s the david knight show all right welcome back and we have eric peters on the line ep autos.com if you're interested in liberty and mobility and you want to be interested in both of those you can't go to a better place than ep autos and And if you're in the market for a car, he will give you some practical car reviews. As a matter of fact, I thought it was interesting. I saw that Eric had just reviewed the new Mazda Miata. And I know that Eric likes the Miatas. I love my Miata, but he was also, because it's the driving experience. But I know, Eric, you just had an article that came out, and you were talking about that very issue in terms of when a cyst becomes incest.

That's the title of the article. And you used the Mazda Miata, of all things, as an example. Tell us a little bit about that. Well, it's kind of a barometer for for what's what's happening and by that i mean this embedding in every new car literally of this as they put it advanced driver assistance technology which is essentially preempting and parenting and controlling you and uh second guessing you're driving and even to the extent of putting it in a driver's car like the Miata, and Mazda, as you know, only sells the automatic transmission in the highest trims. So in the two lower trims or three trims, you can't even get an automatic.

So clearly, this is a vehicle for people who want to drive and do not need assistance, just like you and I don't need a wheelchair to be able to get around because we can walk, and yet it's in there. And so it begs the question, why? Why is it in there? And it's because Mazda and every other manufacturer are anticipating the next round of mandates, which we've already been apprised of, that the federal government is going to require that all new cars have this stuff in them.

And then that begs another question, well, why do they want to do that? And they want to do that because the end goal is to take the steering wheel out of your hand yes and take your foot off the gas pedal and the brake pedal and to turn these things into uh autonomous as they're put meaning controlled by the board by the corporate government hive uh and that you are a meat sack to be transported around and rather than a driver tell us a little bit about what what have they put in terms of driver assist stuff on the miata of all things? Well it has what they call collision mitigation technology and each manufacturer has its own trademark or brand name for for what it is but it's essentially all the same thing. There are sensors in the car that decide it's time to break

even if there's no reason to break and so you you'll be driving along, and let's say a good example is that up ahead of you, and you can see this with your eyes and your brain can process this, there's a car that's stopped in the road, it has its turn signal on, and you can see that he's going to be gone by the time you get there. So there's no need to brake. Of course, the car, its smarty-pants programming can't, you know, can't grok that. So all it sees is an object in the path and it applies the brakes. And, you know, that's accompanied by this, this glaring red, uh,

flashing warning break, break that pops up on the LCD touchscreen. It's just incredibly annoying. Yeah. I, when we were moving a year ago, we got a rental truck and, um, and it was a, it was a big truck and I was up very high and I felt like I was barely fitting into the lanes anyway, you know? And so I'm kind of biasing it over to the right side of the road. And whenever I get close to that line, I still have plenty of pavement over there, but I get close to that line and it started, um, you know, it like jerked the wheel and it made this noise that I thought, Whoa, what's happening?

You scared, scared me to death. Even after I figured out what it was. That's lane keep assistance technology. Turn it off. I mean, maybe there's a way to turn it off on this truck, but it wasn't my truck. I didn't know how to turn the thing off. So I wound up letting somebody else drive it. But, you know, I...

You know, sometimes this stuff is going to start getting people killed. Yes. Just like the autonomous driving stuff. The other day I was out driving a new car that had the system. And, you know, sometimes you'll encounter a cyclist up ahead of you, and, you know, you try to drive around the person, right? But in order to do that, sometimes the left tire of your car will touch that painted line on the center line. And then the car tries to jerk you back into your lane.

And, you know, the poor guy on the cycle, if he's there, he could potentially be hit by your car. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, even when we're talking about this automatic emergency braking thing, right? I don't want to be rear-ended when I'm in a Miata. That's one of the things that I, you know, the only thing I use my rear view, I took out my rear view mirror. But I've got, like, I've got my, you know, side view mirrors.

I've got them angled in as a rear view mirror. And I've got, like, a concave mirror there mirror there actually gives me better view than I did before. And I took out that rear view mirror because on the Miata, you know, it's a small car and it was obstructing when I would pull up to a, like a four way stop. Uh, I had to like look underneath the thing to see if there was somebody over on the right that was about to pull out and it was a dangerous thing, you know, and a couple of times I didn't see somebody and I had to slam on brakes, you know, so I took, I said, get this thing out of here. I don't really need it. And, um, but you know, when you, when you, uh, look at a situation like that, I'm always looking behind me because I'm going to take evasive maneuvers.

If I see somebody barreling down on me, uh, to rear end me in that car, cause I don't have that much of a cushion around me. I don't want something that's going to rear end me in that car. Cause I don't have that much of a cushion around me. I don't want something that's going to increase the likelihood of that happening. And you remember when they had that self-driving car in Phoenix, Arizona, and they had the horrific video of it running down that jaywalking homeless person who was pushing the shopping cart at the dead of night and it should have seen it right at first, everybody said, well, you couldn't see that. You know, you see her coming into the headlines, uh, headlights at the last minute, and it should have seen it right at first everybody said well you couldn't see that you know you see her coming into the headlines uh headlights at the last minute and

there's no time to react it's like but this thing was in autopilot mode and it doesn't use visual imaging it uses um you know it's lidar to find the people there so it should have stopped they said and then you find out that they had disabled the emergency braking thing because it was so erratic and is about to cause an accident. And so that's another example why I don't want to have something like that on my cars. No, nor do I. And you'll, for that reason, particularly love this advanced speed limit assistance technology that they're embedding in the cars. So, you know, and it's designed, you know, initially they're trying to present it and habituate the populace to it in terms of,

oh, you know, this way you'll know if you're driving a little faster than the speed limit. A little icon will pop up on the dashboard to let you know that. But the end goal of it is to make it not possible for the car to drive faster than the speed limit. So in your example, you see the semi-parallel down in your Miata and you try to punch it and get out of the way, but the car doesn't want to let you do it because it's trying to keep you safe. Well, you know, this whole thing, we've had a lot of discussions about artificial intelligence with different people.

I've had them on and different guests have different opinions about whether it's real or not. And to what extent it's going to be real and to what extent it's going to be used against us because all technology is being used against us. But, you know, when we look at self-driving cars, that's a good example, a good argument for why this AI stuff isn't going to happen. That was the big promise that was sold to everybody. And you still have self-driving car companies and, um, San Francisco, but

you've had situations where the, the cruise self-driving cars, all of them went to one intersection in San Francisco and then stopped at that one intersection. It's like some kind of a hive mind or something rebellion. And, and remember they used to always tell us, well, our cars are all learning and we have this collective experience. So when one car experiences it, they all experience it and they all learn from it. And so it's getting smarter and smarter all the time.

And, and, and yet that's not what is happening. You just had another incident that reported on yesterday, I think, or the end of last week. We had a guy who was so angry at a Toyota self-driving car that he rear-ended it and kept rear-ending it and followed it as a human took over control and drove back to the base. You know, he followed him back and got into an angry argument with the employees there. And they're not working, right? And so when you look at this, it's something that is technology that has failed. But the key thing that you and I see is they don't really care if any of this stuff works. That's not their objective.

Their objective is to shut down our mobility and to shut down our mobility, right? That's right. Now, what this stuff is, my understanding, it's not their objective. Their objective is to shut down our mobility and to shut down our mobility. That's right. Right? That's right. Now, what this stuff is, my understanding, it's not really AI. That term is way overused. People take it to mean literally an intelligence that's comparable to us that can evaluate data and make decisions. It's just highly sophisticated programming, and it operates within certain parameters. And, you know, if a situation arises that's outside of the parameters of the programming, then it doesn't know what to do.

And that's why you have these incidents that occur, because there are variables that can't be accounted for. The real world is like that. You can't anticipate everything that's going to happen when you're out there driving along. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's a different, when you look at AI, and again, I'm not an expert on it,

my sense as to what is happening with this is that it's a, it's a change, a big change in the way the computers operate. Uh, just like you used to have procedural languages. And then he went to object oriented languages. This learns things and operates in a different way. It's a neural network and it's got parallel processing, but it still is kind of mimicking and repeating and regurgitating stuff. And it doesn't always get it right. And so that's one of the reasons why, you know, we see the self-driving car stuff and we see the hallucination, they like to call it, I just call it outright lies because there's

a lot of bias that is intentionally put into these chat programs. And then they make their own mistakes in addition to that. But, you know, when you see that everybody really ought to ask a question as to you know how is this going to be used against us and I think that it is going to be very effective adjunct to some real criminal things that our government wants to do in terms of anticipatory intelligence and identifying people and false identification of people tracking of of people, giving weapons, putting them under control of this program. There's all kinds of really bad stuff coming down the pike from this AI.

But it's not going to be, you know, rational, sentient being type of thing that, you know, like Terminator, Skynet or something like that. Well, and it's important to bear in mind as well that a lot of this is not coming from governments. It's coming from who owns the governments, these extranational, supranational entities, the WEF being an excellent case in point that sets policy somehow for the governments because it owns the governments because it has the financial means to do that. And they're being quite brazen now, quite open about what their agenda is. You and I have talked about it for years, that this electrification thing has always been a stalking horse for the elimination or the great reduction in personal mobility. Well, they came out just a couple of weeks ago

with a paper that announced that boldly, that their goal is to get rid of the majority of personally owned cars by, I think, 2050. Yeah. Yeah. What was it like 75% or something like that? Yeah. Yep. Uh, and, and it's all unworkable. It is all nothing more than they don't even try to disguise the tyranny anymore. They admit it and they're getting away with it. That's the amazing thing. You know, they just, they just keep progressing onto their goal. And, um, you know, it's like what we saw with a pandemic.

I had seen them talking about this all the time. And it says as if, um, you know, you talk about the fact that they want to, uh, trap us in the cities and limit our movements. And then people see them putting the bollards in for 15 minutes city and,

and saying, well, we're going to block this off from cars and you can't travel from zone one to zone two and that type of thing. People are watching this being built around them. Well, we've watched them talk about, they're going to build this around us and then they actually start building it around us and you still can't wake the people up to do anything about it. It's amazing. Well, there is,

there's a built-in lag time here and I think it's a function of people being shell-shocked. What I mean by that is it takes a while for people to process that these people really intend to do that. You know, it's hard to grasp that, to think that could they be that, could they actually be evil as opposed to just busy bodies and control freaks who perhaps mean well, but we don't like what they're doing. No, they're actually evil. They're actually malignant people who mean us harm. That's a hard thing to come to grips with.

It is. Yeah. Normal people can't put themselves in the mindset of a Norman Bates, for example. Yep. Right. Or a Ted Bundy. Oh, Ted Bundy. He seems like such a nice guy. You know, then Anthony Perkins, isn't he sweet? You know, no way he would ever think that he could do anything like this. And that's how they get

away with it. Right. I wouldn't hurt a fly getting away, particularly with regard to the most brazen things, because it's unfathomable because ordinary people would never have the effrontery to, to put something like that out there because they just would find it absurd and they'd be ashamed. It's ridiculous. Who would do that? Well, these people would do that. Yeah. It's like the big lie. Was it Goebbels that talked about that?

The big lie is the one that's the hardest for anybody to understand is not true. The bigger the lie, the more believable it is. And you get people in a position of authority to sell that stuff to you. But, you know, we're talking about the safety stuff. We're talking about the problems with self-driving cars. More than 17 people have been killed with the Tesla self-driving cars. And isn't it interesting that they haven't shut that down? You know, I talked about that when I saw that stat and of course, hundreds have been injured in accidents involving failures of the Tesla self-driving car. We know that that was put on as the cherry on top to really sell the EV as the thing of the future, right?

And so that was a sizzle on the steak, and yet it was half-baked, if baked at all. Yeah, well, very indifferent when it suits their agenda. Yeah. If it's contrary to their agenda, then, as the saying goes, if it saves one life, then it's worth any cost and any imposition is worth doing, if it serves their purpose. But when the contrary is the case, who cares if some people are killed? It's no big deal. In the grand scheme of things, it's worth it to them. That's right. You've got an article, something that no EV is ever likely to be.

What is that? Old. I was in the garage the other day, and I was just pondering some of my old stuff, and I've got a number of old vehicles that are almost half a century old now. My 76 Trans Am and my 76 Kawasaki, and I've got an older bike. And I got to thinking, gosh, you know, these things, I can get in them or get on them, in the case of the bikes, and I could go for a ride. And probably these things will still be around after I'm gone 50 years from now.

And, you know, EVs are fundamentally like cell phones in that they are disposable appliances. They're not designed to last a long time. And, you know, that's a function of many things. But the chief thing is that they have these battery packs that inevitably wear out and the problem with that is that these battery packs are enormously expensive and over time the value of the vehicle itself depreciates and you reach this point after which nobody who's in the right mind is going to spend 10 15 or 20 000 on a battery for a vehicle that's only worth 10 or 15 000 or $15,000. That's right. Have you seen that picture of the Chinese picture of the sea of abandoned EVs? Yeah, I have.

Field of schemes. That's what happens when you get five-year plans. That's right. Field of schemes, I call it. That's all the best laid plans and schemes of these communists come to that. Yeah, it is amazing amazing and you point out in your article you said this is the antithesis of sustainability isn't it true how they always use these labels that they're exactly the opposite of what they're trying to do right uh this is the

most unsustainable approach to anything that they're doing now these disposable cars of course that's it's a psychological tell. And if they were not malignant people, what they would be doing is encouraging simple, basic, reliable vehicles that will go 15 or 20 years without needing a major repair, because that is sustainable. That does not use a lot of materials to manufacture. It doesn't create a lot of emissions. The vehicle is efficient.

It's affordable. Most people can have one. That would be the rational goal if the goal were not malignant. Yeah, that's right. Have you seen that Toyota, which has been a holdout on a lot of the EV, the battery EV stuff, have you seen that they've got a new technology? They claim a solid state battery that doesn't have the fire capabilities. It's got unbelievable charging times. Of course, the time for comparison that they had for a Tesla, I still found that hard to believe. They said Tesla could be charged for a 300-mile range with a supercharger

in, I think, 15 minutes. I don't believe that. Maybe I'm wrong. You could probably give me a better idea of that. But they were saying that the Toyota thing could get a 900-mile range in 10 minutes. But, of course, this is yet to be done. And they're talking about something they plan on putting out in a few years.

And so this is vaporware that they're selling at this point in time. But what do you think about that? Well, what I think about it is that I've been covering this stuff for 30 years. And I've been hearing about the breakthrough battery now since the 90s. And it has yet to happen. And with regard to the Tesla thing, yeah, you can put 80% charge into that thing in 15 minutes to a half hour, depending on where you are in the condition of the battery. But here's the asterisk and the catch.

And if you read and dig into the owner's manuals and find out, it will advise you to not heavily discharge and then regularly fast charge the battery because that will reduce the service life of the battery. So it's a catch-22. All right, you're going to, instead of, you know, instead of sitting for an hour or two waiting, you'll only have to wait for 15 minutes or a half hour, but now your battery is going to last several years less long than it would have otherwise. I actually had a listener who's an engineer working for Ford and he says, you know, there's been discussions as to whether or not we should track how often people use a fast charger

and then adjust our warranty based on that, right? Yeah. Because they know how that really burns up the battery to use a fast charger. It's literally in the owner's manual. I tested the tester of the Lightning back in December, and I poured through the owner's manual. I always do that because sometimes you find interesting stuff in there, and there it is in black and white.

It tells you to avoid fast charging, and the term that they use is to preserve the health of the battery. Yeah, how about preserving your time? That's something that is disposable. Yeah, and that's another thing that's kind of hallucinatory. This etymological abuse that we've been gaslit into somehow characterizing as fast, having to sit and wait for 15 to 30 minutes to do something that takes three minutes to do in a non-electric car. Yeah, exactly.

Even if their stuff was correct, you know, to get 300 miles of range takes me once I go through. And you're going to have to go through all the stuff in terms of here's's how I'm going to pay, you know, all the rest of the stuff. You've got to do that with any way that you fill this up. But when you start with the amount of time that it takes to fill this stuff up, you know, for my 10-gallon gas tank, it takes me about 30 seconds or so typically to fill it up. And not 15 minutes, not 30 minutes, not an hour or two. And another really important point that they studiously avoid mentioning is that if there's another guy in front of you filling up his vehicle, well, he'll be out of there in a couple of minutes and you can gas up. But if you're in your Tesla and there's somebody else ahead of you at the electric charging station, you're going to wait 15 to 30 minutes for him before you can wait 15 to 30 minutes. That's right. Well, you know, we're talking about all this stuff.

And again, Toyota is saying, hey, we got a new solid state battery technology. Uh, we're going to roll it out in four or five years. And, um, uh, but you know, Toyota has been kind of the holdout on this. It's one of the reasons why they put out the press release. They were getting a lot of flack because they weren't joining with the one single solution that's going to be approved by the government, whether or not it's a good solution, whether or not it works, whether or not it's safe or effective, right? Just like the vaccine. And so they decided that they were going to look at some other things, right? They were going to

look at fuel cells, or they're going to look at hydrogen cells or something like that. They were the first to market with a mass market hybrid, and they have been the dominant player in that segment because the things work and people buy them you know they they make money selling them but they got esg'd you know this happened uh several months ago the grandson of the founder a man named akio toyota uh was removed from his position of authority replaced with a much younger man who of course uh is all in on this esg agenda of forcing uh foisting electrification on everybody yeah So now they announced that they got a brand new battery design that's going to be available in four or five years. And they're essentially probably going to give up on trying to get the technology and

the distribution network for these other technologies. And the key thing about the hydrogen thing is that you wouldn't have this issue because it's a deliverable. You can pump it in. You don't have to wait forever. To me, that's a big thing that makes a difference. But I think Toyota made the fundamental mistake of thinking that this is really about emissions. It's never been about emissions. You know, they look at it, the company looked at this as an engineering problem. Oh, okay. You say your

problem is emissions and you want to get rid of them entirely, minimize them or get rid of, we can do that. And they come up with a solution, but I'm sorry, you know, you've got the ivermectin or the hydroxychloroquine solution here. We can only have the vaccine, and that's not ready yet. That's exactly right. But, you know, that's got to be that way because that's the ultimate control because we all know that if it's got to be charged off of the grid, they're shutting the grid down.

So that's the back door to taking everybody's mobility, whether you've got an EV or not. If you've got an EV, they're shutting the grid down. And that, so that's the back door to taking everybody's mobility, whether you've got an EV or not, we've got an EV, they're going to say, sorry, there's not enough electricity for you to get charged. And only the special people can drive their cars today. In their innocence. Now this goes back many decades. Uh, the, the companies and the engineers, as you say, thought that this was, uh, simply an engineering problem. Okay. We're going to figure out how to make engines that produce very little, even to the point of almost no harmful emissions. And at the same time, we're going to figure out a way to make them more reliable

and more fuel efficient and more powerful. And my God, they succeeded. And we got to the point now where we have the highest output engines ever. Routinely, we've gotten used to having family cars that get to 60 in five or six seconds, which is quicker than most V8 muscle cars that got nine miles per gallon back in the 60s. It's magnificent. But what they'd never really truly understood because they didn't understand the motives is that it was never about that. You know, this was just the excuse, the emissions boogeyman, which of course they shifted once they solved the problem of genuinely harmful emissions, meaning the ones that cause pollution. Once that problem was solved, they changed the

definition of emissions to include carbon dioxide, which has nothing to do with pollution. But they continue to use that term to trick people and imply that cars are dirty because they're emitting this inert non-reactive gas. Yeah. Yeah, that's very analogous to what happened with all this pandemic stuff. You know, there were a lot of people who were doctors in the medical profession and stuff like that, and they're looking at this, and they're trying, just like the engineers at Toyota or some of these other places, and saying, all right, your problem is emissions. We can do something about this.

These people are looking at it and saying, okay, your problem is a pandemic. All right, we can do something about it. How about if we do this? No, you can't do that. How about if we do this? No, you can't do that either. How about if we do, well, that's horse medicine, right? Well, it was horse, yeah, it was a lie from the beginning. And those of us who are not caught up in the details of the medicine uh, the medicine involved in it, we could see the overarching control mechanisms, the political mechanisms, the germ games that these people have been running for decades and practicing for decades that gave us an advanced insight to this. It took a lot of these doctors quite a while to get to the point where they look at it from a

medical standpoint and to say, this is what's going on. We knew what they were doing because we looked at the fact that they ran these games for 20 years and it was always like everybody down until we got an experimental vaccine and we knew what their depopulation agenda was. We knew all of this stuff. And so it's a different way of looking at it. And so I understand, you know, why the people at Toyota, some of these other places get fooled by that because they don't understand what the agenda is.

And that's why, you know, you got to make sure that you don't miss the forest for the trees under there. Well, the upside is that once you learn to understand the tells or see the tells, it only really takes one and you notice it. And after that point, it's like something clicks in your mind and you get it. You begin to question and see. So, for example, during the pandemic, I remember when they kept typing, the cases, the cases. And it was such a dishonest thing to put it that way. Rather than, well, who's actually getting seriously sick as opposed to testing positive, supposedly, on one of these PCR tests? And I thought to myself, that is just a fundamentally disingenuous, dishonest way to portray it. And why are they doing that? And the answer, of course, is self-evident. And once you

realize that and you understand what you're dealing with, you begin to apply that same kind of Occam's razor to everything else going forward. That's right. Yeah, we knew Fauci's background. We knew what he had tried to do with the PCR test with HIV and how the inventor called him out on it. And when they started talking about the cases, this and the cases, as you point out, cases of people who are not even sick. And then the real issue was going to be, well, what is the case fatality rate? And of course, they're playing games with that as well. It was a really big tell.

And I think the good thing about it is that there's a lot of people, especially I see now a lot of these doctors who were late coming to order. They worked in the medical field or the pharmaceutical field. They were late coming into it. And now they are sounding like the conspiracy theorists among amongst us. Uh, as we were, they're saying the same kind of stuff that we were saying years before this

stuff pulled out. So you're not going to fool them a second time, but they're, there's, they're trying to ostracize them, censor them, make sure that nobody listens to them. Uh time but they're there's they're trying to ostracize them censor them make sure that nobody listens to them uh but it keeps getting larger the number of people who understand what this is about keeps getting larger that's why they keep coming up with more and more ways to try

to shut down our content to censor us and that type of thing and it's that you know brock obama's digital fingerprint stuff that is also yeah it's you know's a good thing, but it's also a very scary thing in that I do think the awakening is happening and there's panic on the Ted Bundy side. They understand that people see them now. At least a lot of people see them, certainly far more people than did before. And they've got to do something about it

because their tricks don't work any longer on those people, and there are more of them all the time. So in my mind, that increases the probability that they're really going to go for broke and do something almost unimaginable at some point within the next few months or a year i agree and that's kind of the premise of hugo de garza who worked in the ai field a long time ago and i i'd interviewed hugo de garza i read his book the art of like war and he was one of these people like ray kurzweil who thought that if he made an exact replica of the human brain, that's going to spring to life type of thing. You know, this is the naivete of Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein novels.

Now, if I just get the spark of life, where is that going to go? Oh, lightning. That'll do it. You know, but, uh, you know, I thought that was very naive, but where he was very, um, where he's very accurate, I believe was you talked about the art of like, where he said at some point, the mass of people are going to catch on to what these people are trying to do. And the danger that is presented by the initial stages of artificial intelligence, and they're going to demand the stuff gets shut down and they're going to

come after these people after they realize what's happening. And so they will retreat, uh, perhaps even to space and use their technological advantage to go to war with us. And there's a number of ways they could do that. They could even just start a global nuclear war. They don't even have to retreat to space. But they've got their underground bunkers and things like that to protect them.

So there's any number of things that they could do. And I agree. I think it is coming to a tipping point. And I think all this stuff is going to be decided one way or the other by 2030. Uh, that's their goal and they're going to make it happen one way or the other. They can either get their way or they can pull the nuclear triggers and get their way. Uh, but they're going to have it by 2030. That's their goal. It's been their goal for a long time. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's, it's discouraging, but it's also in a kind of weird weird way, exciting, in that we finally may have an opportunity to turn this ship around, maybe. And that's something that hasn't been possible for decades, if not longer.

Well, to quote Tolkien, I guess, when they have the Council of Elrond, it's like this quest is on the edge of a knife. It could go either way, or we could just fall and get cut in half. It's nice. We've got a lot of know, much more so than we had say back in the nineties, because again, more people than ever realized this is an existential threat. It's no longer a question of, eh, I don't like that, that, you know, that particular brand of politics, or I disagree with this, or I, you know, I agree with that. This is an existential threat.

And, and the understanding of that is beginning to really, I think, percolate among the general population. Yeah, I agree. I agree. It's, we still have a long ways to go. I still saw that, you know, way over 50% of the people don't have any understanding as to what CBDC is. Yeah. If you break it down on a function by function level, you know, should, uh, you have digital money where they prevent you from getting more than X amount of meat per month and things like that. You start asking those individual questions. Of course, everybody is radically opposed to it, but they don't know what it is.

And they don't know the structures that are being put in place. And they don't know that the, you know, the Biden administration came up with a detailed plan, uh, six months ago, uh, and they've been marching relentlessly towards this thing. Everybody's got one aspect of it. He put it out there for all the different bureaucratic organizations to figure out which, you know, here's your area of responsibility, gave them four different areas of responsibility. And, of course, climate change was one of the four because that's the way they're going to sell it to people. But people don't realize what it is.

They don't realize how far down the path we've gone with that. They don't. But, boy, this is one subject on which, and I'm glad you mentioned it, that it's imperative that people be made to understand at least a sufficiency of them. I think if you could get a third to ideally half of the population to simply say absolutely not and draw a line in the sand. They will not accept the CBD, CB thing. We may save things.

You know, that's the event horizon. If we cross into that, they own us literally. They will, you know, have the ability to enforce everything down to the most minute detail. If you want to get a preview of this, you've seen these things. People who are listening can go to YouTube and look and see what it's like in China, you know, where a person will go up to a vending machine and let their iris be scanned or their fingerprint or show their qr code on their phone and then if their social credit score is good enough the machine will allow them to buy a can of soda yeah that's

right well we do have some good people that have seen this coming you know there's a legislator here in tennessee frank, who's pushing to get like a Tennessee reserve system. So we can get parallel to the federal system. Uh, and he said, there's other, uh, Southern states that are working, trying to get a compact together where they can get gold and silver depositories, where they can have essentially a, a real constitutional money system that is parallel to this other system and um you know they understand what is happening in some areas even when you look at something like the pistol brace they had already acted proactively here in tennessee they said you're not going to and of

course the non-commandeering thing is is established by a supreme court case and so they say you're not going to commandeer and use our law enforcement to enforce your laws if we if we prohibit them. And then they went in and prohibited the pistol brace. So there is something we can do at the local level. There's something that we can do at the individual level to try to get out of this monetary system with gold and silver that we own and things like that. Just like there's ways that we can prepare for it. But the big part of the issue is that people got to wake up to the threat or they're never going to prepare for it.

And never going to take any steps at the local and even at the state level. And that's the key thing, because you can forget about what's going on at the feds. They're just an arm of the World Economic Forum at this point, I think. Sure. But another piece of good news is that these Ted Bundys have, by revealing themselves, delegitimized themselves. I think very few people anymore trust the so-called main media, mainstream media, the corporate media. They're suspicious, and they're looking for alternative sources of information, which is something very few people did if you went back 20 or 30 years ago. They're doing that now.

And so the whole system is ultimately going to totter and creak, and it already is at that point. And it relies not on voluntary compliance but on fear and force. And that ultimately is a much more difficult thing to sustain. Yeah. Yeah, like I was talking about just before you came on, I was talking about how NBC News, and they're typical of mainstream media, how they are responding to RFK Jr. He's a real threat to the Democrat establishment.

And, you know, they want to keep Biden there. And, you know, he's a convenient puppet for them. But they come after him with the vaccine criticism and the criticism that they have are juvenile. I mean, it's as ridiculous as Trump calling his opponents names. I mean, the kind of stuff that they're doing to attack what RFK Jr. said about the vaccine, they do everything to, to, to not talk about it. And I think it's going to have an actual blowback effect in the same way that

people can smell the BS from a mile away, just like they did in the Soviet Russia. Sure, it's hard to impugn a Kennedy, isn't it? It's hilarious that you've got the left going after a Kennedy. I know. And ironically, Kennedy is the one adult in the room. I don't agree with him on a number of things, including his stand on climate change,

but he's a thoughtful, articulate adult person who speaks in complete sentences, and it's so refreshing versus the orange man and then the senile grifter that they've propped up as the front piece for Obama's third and potentially fourth term. Yeah. And they don't want to. But, you know, they're they're deathly afraid of him. And they use this instead of trying to engage him on the issues, instead of trying to debate him, they use the same tactic that they've used everybody for the last several years. Oh, we'll just marginalize, we'll tell lies about him, and we will purge him out of the system. And that's going to backfire on them, I think.

I hope so, and I think so too. Because again, it's very difficult to do that to a Kennedy. You know, a liberal will reflexively recoil from somebody like Trump or DeSantis even or anybody else because, oh, they're conservatives. They're Republicans. They're, you know, ipso facto vile people. But he's RFK's son. He's, you know, I mean, it's really difficult. They're in a real bind, and I'm smiling and enjoying every minute of it.

What I look at this, one of the things that I think my takeaway from is like, you know, why are they doing this? Because it's not helping their cause. But I think as we see with so many other things, I think there's a lot of hubris here. I think they believe they can rig the election regardless of what people want. No question. Yeah. It's a combination of desperation and arrogance. They got away with it last time.

That's right. And they know they're going to have to get away with it again, because I mean, do they really think that in any kind of a, a, a quasi fair election that the country is going to put back into office, this, this 81 year old grifter, even a majority of Democrats don't like him, but it's almost unanimous on Republicans. It's like, you know, even when they ask just simple questions, he's too old. It's like, he's obviously too old, but look, they elected or claimed that they elected Fetterman. Uh, and, i i thought it was a funny thing i played the clip yesterday i thought it was hilarious that biden with all of his gaffes goes and stands next to fetterman

made him look like einstein it is that bad but you know that's the hardcore woke left that will support anything that has a D behind it on Election Day. But that doesn't constitute, I don't think, the bulk out there of people who would potentially want to support a Democrat, a sane, mentally competent Democrat. And Biden is neither thing. Yeah, yeah. Let's talk, going back to cars, you've got an article, the ersatz thing, and we're talking about Toyota again. What is that ersatz thing?

Boy, boy, so they're coming up, apparently, with a way to simulate a manual transmission in an electric car, which is, you know, it's a couple of things. The first thing is that it's preposterous on a purely functional level because electric cars don't have transmissions. Therefore, you don't need a clutch. You don't need a torque converter. The motor connects directly to the drive wheels. You know, so it doesn't stall when you come to a light. So they're just going to try to create kind of the Game Boy experience, I guess, inside these cars where you'll be playing with buttons and things and accompanied by sounds but to me it begs the

more more depressing and sorrowful question well if that's what people want then why not give them the real thing yeah exactly it kind of reminds me i was talking earlier in the program about the submarine that went missing you know around the titanic and the guy's controlling it with a logitech uh a game controller and it's seriously, this is what you're doing with this thing. You can at least have some sound effects with it. You know, like you're talking about a sound effect for the thing, but, uh, yeah, it is crazy what they're doing. I, I drove a friend's, uh, Tesla.

And, uh, and that was a really interesting experience because of the way the transmission was right. Because it's got a lot of acceleration power and because you know you step on the gas and and it really goes and you pull off the gap and it automatically starts to stop with the uh regenerative braking and things like that so it's a really interesting thing because there was no coasting i do a lot of coasting yep i had to save gas with my uh you know miata and the clutch and everything. And so it's a very, very different feel, and it was almost game-like in a sense, this rapid response and acceleration and deceleration based on your pedal.

It's an entirely different experience, and why not just simply rely on the merits of that? I ask the question of people who buy these burgers, and I put them in air fingers quotes, the fake meat burgers. Well, if you want something that looks and tastes like me, why don't you eat me? Exactly. Yeah. The real thing. Yeah.

That's great. Uh, when you, uh, uh, we'll see, let me get to another one of your articles here that you've got. Um, it is interesting to see that the links that they will go to avoid doing what would be so simple. Your article, The Winnowing, talking about getting rid of cars with internal combustion engines, and of course they're well on their way to do that in the U.K., aren't they? Yeah, well, they're doing something even worse than that. They're trying to shame people and marginalize and pariahize people who would have the temerity to buy a gas-powered car. In California, there's a bureaucracy called the California Air Resources Board,

and it issues these regulations telling the car companies how big or how small their carbon footprint is, and if it's beyond a certain size, then they get punished. So Stellantis, which is the corporation that owns the Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram truck brands, finds that its footprint is too large in California. So its solution is to no longer stock vehicles in California that aren't electric or hybrids. So if you want one in California, now you've got to go to the dealer and virtually look at it, I guess, on a screen. You can't actually test drive it. You can't, you know, kick the tires.

And then you have to order it. So, you know, you're made to feel like you're some kind of a dirty person asking for a dirty magazine behind the counter. And it's even worse than that because there are 13 other states, California is bad enough, but there are 13 other states, which together encompass about 35% of the entire car market in this country who have decided they're going to do exactly the same thing that whatever carb says they're going to do too yeah i remember looking at aftermarket parts uh from amiata and i'd say this is not carb approved that's not carb approved and all the rest of the stuff but but you live in virginia and virginia is one of those states that married themselves to the standard but the

republican governor there glenn yunkin is saying they're not going to be part of it is that going to work or are they still roped into that? Can he get them out? Well, it's still up in the air here. I think with Youngkin around, probably we'll be able to escape the worst effects of it, but it still has ripple effects nonetheless because it is discouraging not just Solantis but every manufacturer from sending non-electric cars to its dealer network. I mean, they've been put on notice.

I mentioned in the article there was a term called Unerwunsched that was used in Germany in the 30s, you know, in the context of Jews are not welcome here. They would put signs out in front of a town that said that, you know, so that they wouldn't be put on notice. You know, you better not come here. Well, that's what they're saying to everybody who doesn't want an electric car. They're putting them on notice and letting them know that we're going to punish you, we're going to marginalize you if you don't buy into this EV

thing. Yeah, very much like a social credit thing. They do that on social media. Oh, you're bad, you're a conspiracy theorist, or you're an anti-vaxxer, or come up with any kind of silly little label like that. But it's not just the cars. I mean, take a look at what they're doing with the trucks. Newsom's got this new rule about electric trucks,

and they're just going to roll it in. I think it's next year. It's coming in right away. This is not a few years off. And California has been one of the major ports for imports. And since we've offshore most of our stuff manufacturing anymore, that's a really big deal. And the people, the trucking companies say we can't comply with this because nobody's selling these trucks that you're going to mandate. It's another tell, I think, that this was never designed to do anything other than to make us immobile, unsustainable, and to destroy our supply chains. Yeah, you think your groceries cost a lot now. Wait.

Yeah, yeah, it is amazing. It's going to get a lot worse. And, you know, these trucks, not only do they have all the hobbles that afflict an electric passenger car, they have additional hobbles because the batteries, you're talking now potentially about 10,000 pounds of batteries to propel one of these things. And that means 10,000 pounds less cargo that they can carry. That's right. Yeah. And, you know, in addition to that, they don't, you know, they can't go as far and then they have to wait longer. So you think about all the cascading effects of what used to be a pretty straightforward transaction. You know, semi would go to the port of Los Angeles, load up its stuff, and, you know, within 48 hours, the stuff would be in Walmarts in Missouri, and that's not going to happen anymore. And, of course, the trucking industry says, well, look, I can tell you exactly what the cost is per mile of my vehicle.

I have absolutely no idea what the cost is. These things haven't even hit the market yet. How do I know how to price stuff? So you know what they're going to do? They're going to go up astronomically in terms of price to make sure they don't undercharge people. They will overcharge them. They'll err on the side of staying in business. And so it's really going to send a massive inflationary spike through the country.

It's crazy, but it's just another one of these things that California in general and Newsom in particular. It's kind of interesting, isn't it, how Newsom has gone out of his way to pick a fight with DeSantis. What do you read into that? Well, clearly he's angling for national office. And DeSantis is probably the weaker and more compromised candidate, and so maybe he's doing it for that reason. All I know about Newsom is he's kind, uh, is, is doing everything he can to immiserate the surfs, the average people, you know, the ones that he doesn't associate with because they're not operating in his rarefied circles. That's right. Yeah. Former mayor of San

Francisco, uh, you know, doing homosexual marriage and defiance of even Arnold Schwarzenegger and, you know, the California law at the time. Yeah, he does what he wants and he knows how to get a lot of national attention. He's looking at this and I think he's making a calculation. I don't know if Biden's going to make it through the election. And, you know, Lala Harris never got more than 1% of the vote when she was running for president. So maybe I could weasel my way in there. And I think he may also be looking at the orange man and thinking, well, you know, he might be out as well.

Nobody likes Biden or Trump in terms of the majority of people. I got to say, he's got, you know, Trump has got a very loyal following, uh, but it is still small. I'm saying the majority of people don't want to see either one of them running. And so he goes, so that would mean, you know, I need to attack the number two guy, because it might be the two of us in this next election. The common man. They created common core dumbed down our children.

They created common past track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
