But what do we say when a pastor warns that "Christ is King" is an anti-semitic dog-whistle. Will we censor truth and self-cancel? (1:32:01) Javier Milei — SuperHero?The newly elected President of Argentina, is not only an economist pushing Austrian economics to fix the socialist train wreck of 150% hyperinflation — he's also earned the epithet of "crazy madman" as he seeks to outrage with stunts, skits, profanity, and rage.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 21st of November, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, we're going to begin today by looking at the Ukraine war. The war is getting old. And so are the people who are fighting it. They're going to start taking people up to the age of 70, men.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's going to become then a country for, no country for old men, because they've already eradicated so many of the young men. They are filling the ranks now with old men and with women. And so then as we think about what our genius war planners in Washington have accomplished in Afghanistan, Ukraine, all the rest of their losses, we see that the war in the Middle East is also about to expand with Houdi piracy, takeover of a ship. This will be used. So we'll talk about that. We'll also have Eric Peters as our guest today. And we'll talk about how the car was one of our key lifelines in 2020. One of the reasons why they want to take it away from us. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Well, we've had the CIA Director Burns, as well as the Secretary of Defense, Austin, have made separate urgent trips in the last couple of weeks to Ukraine to indicate that the war there is not going well. And Zelensky has been whining about lack of support everywhere. get into the limelight after October 7th, wanted to take a trip to Israel so he could preen in front of the cameras. And they were told him, no, no. Well, as Austin was there, one of the things that he had to say was very concerning to those of us who want to see peace, want to see an end to this. But of course, like Afghanistan, this is planned to be a forever war. We will stay there until we're thrown out as we were in Afghanistan. So Austin says, I'm here with a very important message. We will continue to support Ukraine's battlefield needs and their long-term defense requirements.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And so much emphasis was put on the long-term aspects of it and uh as you see the competition back and forth between israel and ukraine who gets to uh feed off of the u.s government and the taxpayers here well the u.s government doesn't have any problem with it we do both of these right just keep printing money who cares you know the american exceptionalism is the federal reserve and our fiat currency so we can just do both wars let's have a third one too let's anywhere anywhere big ones okay we've got a half dozen conflicts that have been going on for quite some time simmering many of them quiet secretive so austin said i'm here today to deliver an important message the u.s will continue to stand with ukraine and their fight
Starting point is 00:04:50 for freedom against russian aggression both now and into the future until we're thrown out on our keisters um just last week cia director william burns also made a secretive unannounced visit to Ukraine to hold urgent meetings with Zelensky. Commentary in the Asia Times has concluded this flurry of activity is in response to how badly things are going on in this battlefield in Ukraine. Tens of billions of dollars into a proxy war with Russia. And so Asia Times said, is it worth asking how come Burns is on an urgent mission to Ukraine, as he did a week or so ago? The answer to the question is Ukraine is imploding, they said. The crumbling of the Zelensky regime is unsurprising. Ukraine has been sustaining far too many casualties to survive for much longer.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Ukraine either must find a way to make a deal with Russia or face an internal rebellion. Some kind of a coup? And of course, this was pretty obvious from the very beginning. Many of us pointed it out. Gerald Swinty saying, you think you're going to beat Russia? People who wore down Hitler, wore down Napoleon,
Starting point is 00:06:01 the rest of the stuff, they take massive casualties and keep going. And it's a big, big country. I think it's the largest land mass in the world. Difficult terrain to fight in. The Russian strategy is to bleed down Ukraine's armed forces and create a political crisis in Kiev. Is that really that difficult with somebody like Zelensky in power there?
Starting point is 00:06:27 To create a political crisis? The Russian effort is ahead of schedule, said the Asia Times, which has surprised Moscow as much as it has surprised Washington. The Wall Street Journal, not just other papers, Wall Street Journal headline, it's time to end the magical thinking about russia's defeat it was always magical thinking because we've got to save the magical thinking for the climate war the magical thinking about unicorn farts the magical thinking that we've got to extract co2 from the atmosphere and not just capture what we're making, but we've got to extract it out of the atmosphere. We've got to now cut down trees, which do extract it, and we've got to bury them.
Starting point is 00:07:12 If this isn't magical thinking, I don't know what is. But yeah, there's been a lot of magical thinking in Washington, a lot of fantastical thinking. Come to think of it, why isn't that the perfect place for George Santos? Every one of these government narratives is as ridiculous and incredible as George Santos' biography. Every single one of them. So now we've got another war.
Starting point is 00:07:41 This one we could win against the Palestinians. We're not going to win the war against Russia, right? But we might be able to teach those Palestinians a lesson or two, right? This is, I think, part of the pivot that they want to do this. But, of course, you know, it isn't even about winning. It's just about sustaining conflict. Because when we sustain conflict, no matter how much Americans lose in terms of blood and money, military industrial corporations always win.
Starting point is 00:08:11 This is a bankrupt country. Not just financially, morally. It would be bad enough, just from a pragmatic standpoint, to take a look at these wars. Apart from the moral considerations. But of course, the vast majority of people in America want to murder children, ripping them apart. So don't cry crocodile tears about kids being murdered by terrorists or murdered by bombs being dropped.
Starting point is 00:08:38 When you are demanding to be able to rip your own babies apart limb by limb, don't tell me that you care about life or babies. Putin looks toward the second anniversary of his all-out assault on Ukraine. His self-confidence, says Wall Street Journal, is hard to miss. I thought he was dead. I thought he was dying. You know, all these things. Look at his hands are trembling or this or that.
Starting point is 00:09:01 He's dying. Well, we're all dying. Nobody's getting any younger. But he's doing a lot better than Biden has done. At least he is in possession of all of his mental faculties. His self-confidence is hard to miss, says Wall Street Journal. A much-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive has not achieved the breakthrough that would give Kiev a strong hand to negotiate. Putin has reason to believe that time is on his side, because it is. At the front line, there's no indications that Russia is losing what has become a war of attrition. The Russian
Starting point is 00:09:36 economy has been buffeted, but is not in tatters. Putin's hold on power was paradoxically strengthened following Yevgeny Prigozhin's failed rebellion in June. You know, the Wagner Group guy. Popular support for the war remains solid. Elite backing for Putin has not fractured, so he hasn't had a coup against him. But take a look at what is happening in Ukraine. This is like their version of a Bob Hope USO show. How pathetic is this? Um, you know, let's, uh, let's get Ann Margaret out there.
Starting point is 00:10:19 So look at these guys. They're hating this. They're reading their phones and look at how old they are in general pretty amazing now you know these may be officers but i don't think so i mean you could try to explain it away that way but i don't think that they're officers as a matter of fact america and britain who are pushing this proxy war, who want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, well, they're getting pretty close to the last Ukrainians, because now they're saying,
Starting point is 00:10:55 you need to start drafting teenagers and men up to the age of 70. Drastic measures are needed to substitute for the heavy losses that Ukrainian troops have sustained during their unsuccessful summer offensive. American and British curators recommend that the Ukrainian leadership lower the minimum draft age to 17 and increase the maximum one to 70 they could draft me i've got another year of eligibility well you don't want me fighting a war it's like a drop dead of a heart attack as well as call more women to arms. It's just, this is the insanity.
Starting point is 00:11:50 This is the insanity. You know, war, war, war, says America and Britain. More war. More war. Remember when Obama, who had started seven wars, he'd stand up there and he has his progressive sign that says forward and so many pictures of him where they put they positioned themselves to take the picture so that obama was in front of the d and just says for war well that's what these guys are all about the ukrainian media also reported in early november that as many as 8 000 uk Ukrainians were facing criminal charges for draft evasion.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I mean, they had, uh, eligible men who were eligible for the draft trying to sneak out of the country. They weren't nabbing them as they were trying to get out. Uh, they've got 8,000, uh, that are facing criminal charges for draft evasion. It's like, you know, we kicked out 8,000 for not for evading the jab. It's just anyway, uh, Kiev is also increasingly relying on women to fill the army ranks. More than 40,000 women are serving in the military,
Starting point is 00:12:57 but here's the key thing. More than 5,000 Ukrainian women are on the front lines of combat. Yeah. These people are up against it. That's not sexist to say that. You know, the battle of the sexes, you take a look, whether you're riding a bicycle or whether you are, you know, in battle, stamina is required, physical differences
Starting point is 00:13:23 between men and women are quite obvious by now aren't they i mean we had this this nonsense for 50 years we had uh this this nonsense that oh well men and women are equal physically you know and billy jean king just showed that she could beat a man a retired middle-aged man, who threw the game, it turns out. Bobby Riggs rigged that game. He had beaten a current professional tennis player pretty severely. This retired middle-aged guy did. And that was real.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And we're seeing that all the time now with this trans transgenders and sports. There's just, the reality is that there's a difference there, but deal with it. It's like, it was a stop trying to pretend that it's not there. And the magical thinking about that as well. And so then they did this big thing afterwards,
Starting point is 00:14:21 highly promoted. And he played a Billie Jean King king and through the game his friends said he threw the game and then after that there was another battle of the sexes in tennis he had jimmy connors and whoever was the ranking professional at the time for the women and it was a skunkter so you know and now we see this everywhere everywhere it's not even a theory so they're putting 5 000 women in combat operations they're desperate the actions of kiev show that it is quote ready to continue to fight until the last ukrainian in the name of western interests well that's not the first time that's been said this is said at the very beginning it was said at the very beginning by a general from
Starting point is 00:15:03 india who was looking at this as a neutral observer and said that's what the plan is now they're going to try to and listen to chris christie oh this is great you know we have um um we've been able to wear down russia and uh it's only five percent of our budget and look at that look at how much we're costing the Russians. He doesn't care about the cost in Ukrainian lives. He doesn't care about the risk of a greater war. You know, Chris Christie says, well, we need to double down on that.
Starting point is 00:15:38 You know, if we could destroy half of Russia's warfighting capability with only 5% of our budget, using Ukrainians to fight this war for us, let's do more of that, says Chris Christie. What an evil, evil man he is evil it's just amazing i just the older i get the more disgusted i get with these wars and uh so um when we uh as a matter of fact, I don't want to leave Ukraine just yet. We're going to, there were some things I did not get to with Ukraine. If this thing will work for me. Sometimes it gets really slow. It's a great device, but it can be very, very slow in terms of trying to switch files here. Anyway, Zelensky is trying to project his incompetence
Starting point is 00:16:26 on other people. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of incompetence to go around. They had an open-air ceremony giving themselves medals and pats on the back and that type of thing. And while they're out there celebrating Artillery Day and holding an open-air
Starting point is 00:16:42 field thing in the middle of a war, you had um russia celebrate their artillery day as well by dropping bombs on these people in the open field all assembled together and so coming at this time they've admitted that 19 soldiers died it's probably worse than that because this is not the first time this kind of incompetence has happened. Zelensky blamed it on the Russians. Yeah, well, they fired the missiles. This guy's a genius. He's a veritable Napoleon, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:17:19 He blamed it on the Russians. He said, well, we've got a lot of people in our military, and it's the Soviet legacy, the Soviet way of thinking. Well, you've been at war before this even happened for eight years against your own people. Maybe, you know, did you not learn anything from that war? No, because you were not fighting an army. You were bombing your own civilians for eight years
Starting point is 00:17:43 after the cia coup under obama and of course trump didn't stop that did he so let's keep the blame on what he called the soviet legacy ukraine's terrible bureaucracy he said it's holding the army back and so i need to fire some of these people the problem is that this is um already happened once before this year earlier this year and eventually they got a count for the people there and it wasn't 19 it was between 100 and 200 because again you know people lie and they cover up and there's the fog of war things like that but i suspect that this other one was much higher than that as well in june just a few months ago russian soldiers stood out in the open for two hours and um i'm sorry this is a russian this is a russian thing and so they put the number of the russian dead
Starting point is 00:18:38 at 100 to 200 whereas you know when ukraine does the same stupid thing uh there's only 19 people who died but you know russians it was 10 times as many people uh again you can't get the truth from either side and both sides are having people stand outside while they get bombed uh so meanwhile the white house of course is not encouraging ukraine peace. And, you know, you have Austin and you have the CIA. Why would the CIA go there? Well, because the CIA began all this stuff. The CIA began this under Obama with a coup. And this is another one of these CIA wars.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And so the question is, you know, Ukraine is up against it. They're running out of people. And things are not working. And so the question is, Ukraine is up against it. They're running out of people and things are not working. They're locked in a war of attrition with a much larger country, much larger. Ukraine is pretty big, but so is Russia. And so what would Robert E. Lee do? He was in a war for several years. They had been invaded, and they saw this as a righteous and just war to defend themselves,
Starting point is 00:19:58 but as a war of attrition that they could not end. And after seeing so many people dying on both sides, he called a quit to it. He called an end to it, right? But we don't have anybody of that caliber anymore. We've burned and melted the statues of people like Robert E. Lee. Honored both North and South for having the compassion and the wisdom
Starting point is 00:20:19 to end that conflict. We don't have anybody like that anymore. Again, we've melted their statues now. We don't have anybody like that anymore. Again, we've melted their statues now. We don't have men of character. We don't have men who have compassion for other people. They don't see other people as people. They see them as widgets. As expendable.
Starting point is 00:20:40 To be used for their little political machinations out there. We've got a bunch of Machiavellian rulers out there. So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, let's talk about how Israel is expanding their war, and then we'll get to some more pleasant topics after we do that. So we'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Hue If you like the Eagles, the cars,

Well, the Jerusalem Post quotes a U.S. general saying that American troops are, quote, prepared to die for Israel. Wow. This guy is Lieutenant General Richard Clark. I guess we're kind of like gladiators, right? That's the way they see Americans. Those who are about to die salute you. Well, gladiators were slaves, weren't they? They were not free men. They were
Starting point is 00:23:31 not even mercenaries. But I guess that's where we are right now. Those who are about to die for Israel, salute you. The Jerusalem Post says, as far as decision as decision making it is a partnership said lieutenant general richard clark stressing nonetheless that at the end of the day it is about the protection of israel because who cares about america our borders are wide open they don't care never have i said the beginning of the trump administration you know he starts um well i don't know i have to see if congress is gonna you know i'm gonna make i'm going to make, I'm going to build a wall and I'm going to make Mexico pay for it. He couldn't even make Congress pay for it.
Starting point is 00:24:11 But I said, you don't need to do that. I said that at the beginning of his administration, right away. I said, you said you're also going to end Afghanistan and Iraq, bringing the troops home. So do that. Put them on the border. Just have them sitting there. Be the most effective thing you could do are we not allowed to bring our troops home put them on the border as a deterrent you don't have to attack anybody you don't have to build any walls you don't
Starting point is 00:24:36 even necessarily need to uh you know put up concertina just put a bunch of them there as a deterrent no i wouldn't do it so i'll just talk all talk so clark stressed nonetheless that at the end of the day quote unquote it is about the protection of israel and if there is a question in regards to how we will operate the last vote will probably go to Zivka Haimovich. Who is this? Did you elect Zivka Haimovich? Matter of fact, you didn't elect Richard Clark either. An unelected bureaucrat. That's what this general is.
Starting point is 00:25:16 An unelected bureaucrat who's going to pursue this war. And just like Leon Panetta, when he was questioned about putting troops on the ground in Syria and Jeff Sessions said, well, you are a congressman. You're going to ask us for permission, right? Well, congressman, we will talk to our allies and our stakeholders, our allies in NATO and our stakeholders, and we'll make that decision and we'll let you know what happens. So now this general says, well, we'll talk to this guy, Zivka.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I don't know who Zivka is. I don't care who Zivka is. I don't want to know who this guy is. Why does he have control of American forces? Those who are prepared to die salute salute Zivka Haimovich. Washington and Israel, he says, have signed an agreement. We've got treaties with everybody, everywhere, tripwires, get into every single war, don't we? Which would see the U.S. come to assist Israel with missile defense in time of war.
Starting point is 00:26:29 And according to Haimovich, he says, I'm sure once the order comes, we will find here U.S. troops on the ground. There you go. To be a part of our deployment and our team to defend the state of Israel. And those U.S. troops who would be deployed to Israel are prepared to die for the Jewish state, brags the Jerusalem Post. Clark said, quote, we're ready to commit to the defense of Israel,
Starting point is 00:26:52 and any time we get involved in a kinetic fight, there's always a risk that there will be casualties, but we accept that. As every conflict we train for and enter, there is always that possibility. And so, you know, here I am. I'm going to send people into the war. They may die, but I accept that they may die.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Forget about the we, the royal we. Those of us in the Pentagon and those of us in Israel say, we are willing to accept the fact that you may die for our policies. Notice the glaring and quite remarkable and its brazenness lack of any pretext of American troops in the Middle East promoting American security interests whatsoever. But of course, we've had Netanyahu go on now. First, he went on with Hannity, and then he repeated the same talking points just more recently in the last couple of days with Mark Levin. And according to Netanyahu, it's not Americans who are there defending Israel. It's not Americans who are going to die for Israel.
Starting point is 00:27:57 No, Israel is protecting Europe and the United States. Really? Really? I don't think that's the case. I think what you're doing is you're dragging us into this quagmire that you've created. So you're going to be paying for the Israeli war. You'll also pay for the refugees, says Ryan McMakin of the Mises Institute. And that is absolutely true. This is like every war.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I played the little clip from the mouse who roared. We pay if we win and we pay if we lose. The U.S. regime has picked it because we're still paying. I forget how many billions now. And when I did that report, I had the number. But we're still sending money to Afghanistan, even though they kicked us out. It wasn't enough for us to leave behind pallets of cash and who knows how many weapons and all the rest of the stuff. No, we've got to continue to send them money.
Starting point is 00:28:54 The U.S. regime has picked sides in this Israel-Hamas war and has committed to funding Israel's ongoing bombing of noncombatant men, women, and children in the Gaza Strip, writes Ryan McMakin. Northern Gaza's infrastructure is now all but destroyed, with millions of Gazans displaced and homeless. Nearly 10 times more Gazans than Israelis have now died in this conflict. Many Gazans have fled to the southern portions of Gaza, but homelessness and abject poverty await them there. By employing what is essentially the carpet bombing approach, Tel Aviv has made the choice
Starting point is 00:29:29 of adopting a policy that is sure to produce hundreds of thousands of refugees, perhaps even more than a million. But that's not a problem for them because they can export all these people to us. Send them to America. Send them to Europe. You know, that's what our Middle East wars have done. Our Middle East wars and things that we have been involved in there have been a real driving force for illegal immigration,
Starting point is 00:29:57 for the great replacement in Europe and also here, because people are coming from every country in the world through the wide open southern border that Biden refuses to defend. As a matter of fact, it's not a bug, it's a feature for him because his goal is to destroy America, just like Netanyahu's goal was to poison and vaccinate his own people. You want to talk about somebody who is running a Holocaust against Jews? It's Netanyahu who's running a Holocaust against Jews for Pfizer. He's killed more Jews and experimented on more Jews than Joseph Mengele ever did.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So let's put that in context. This is the guy who's running the war. And the guy who's running the war on our side hates our people as much. They've all been trained by Hydra to hate their own people. It's global contempt for their own people that we've seen openly displayed since 2020. We kind of knew it was there. We saw much evidence of it, but it became a verified fact. Beginning in 2020, every country on earth, regardless of what their stated political philosophy was,
Starting point is 00:31:08 every one of these leaders. Hail Hydra. What does Klaus want us to do? So these people, it's going to bring all new meaning to the idea that the chickens come home to roost, isn't it? We started accepting massive numbers of refugees from Gaza. These people understand our role in all of this as well. They don't just hate Israel. They hate America.
Starting point is 00:31:44 But of course, the people like Ben Shapiro don't really care about that, do they? He's always got someplace else that he can go to after America is destroyed. He can go to Israel. Tel Aviv has an air force, a deep reservoir of American-funded weapons, and a nuclear arsenal. The Israeli military can reduce all of Gaza to rubble but the ones that they don't kill who are have been essentially weaponized by what they've seen done to their people will be sent to us to take care of israeli mouthpieces are at work pushing the cost of foreign onto foreign taxpayers including american ones this week two israeli politicians one from the militarist Likud party, another one from the center-left party,
Starting point is 00:32:29 took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to demand that countries around the world, quote-unquote, should offer a haven for Gaza residents who seek relocation, unquote. According to these politicians, quote, the international community, not Israel, has a moral imperative to resettle Gazans somewhere outside of Israel and pay for it, not at Israel's expense.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Israel is going to talk about a moral imperative here? How dare them lecture us on a moral imperative we know what this is about uh here here's another thing has israel even thought the israeli government even thought about this long term if you fill america look at the streets look at what is happening in the streets and look at what is happening in the universities with all of this uh hate uh stuff that is uh backfiring now on the ADL, on the Southern Poverty Law Center. But you look at what is happening with the Palestinians in the street. They hate America.
Starting point is 00:33:32 They hate Israel. So you're going to send more Palestinians here? What's that going to do for your long-term support from America? Do you even care about that? I guess not. I guess Israel is willing to cut themselves off long-term from the U.S. because they don't really need us. Theyrael is willing to cut themselves off long term from the us because they don't really need us they have the capability to defend themselves but they'd much rather that we
Starting point is 00:33:50 pay for it that we do the uh the fighting if they can get us to do it and then to take the refugees and pay for them if they can get us to do it a lot of short-term thinking going on here even from a pragmatic standpoint but forget about the moral imperative of any of this stuff. It is significant that these claims appeared in an American publication. Tel Aviv is the latest welfare queen regime, he says, just like Ukraine's Zelensky, demanding free money. It'll probably work, says Ryan McMakin. Americans should get ready for plane loads of Gaza refugees arriving in their cities,
Starting point is 00:34:26 funded by the American taxpayers who can now barely afford to keep up with the price of groceries because Biden wants to destroy America. And you think Trump's going to be any better? Trump always puts Israel first. Always. The U.S. and its allies have settled into a predictable pattern of foreign policy over the last 30 years. Force the taxpayers to pay for the regime's wars, which involve bombing various poor foreign countries back to the Stone Age. And then we lose.
Starting point is 00:34:57 We lose these asymmetric wars, by the way. Then once the refugees start pouring out, theicans have lost the war of course the western regimes then tell the taxpayers back home to cough up even more money to pay for the resettlement of those refugees whose countries were needlessly destroyed by the bombs dropped by west washington and its allies a 2020 report from brown university estimated that 37 million people have been made refugees by the u.s led war on terrorism it's just a war that just keeps coming because it's a war against a tactic. And so it can be applied to anybody and everyone. It can be applied to people speaking at a school board now. That's why Homeland Security is making their lists as to who's naughty and nice.
Starting point is 00:35:41 By 2016, 5.2 million of them reached europe in 2022 alone more than 159 000 refugees arrived by sea into italy greece spain cyprus and malta thousands more arrive at the land borders of eu every year thanks to the distance we don't see those same kind of numbers, but we're still seeing refugees coming into the United States, 50,000 to 90,000 per year since we began the war in Afghanistan. Ryan McMakin says it's also important to remember that migrants
Starting point is 00:36:17 who enjoy the legal status of refugees are not normal immigrants. Ordinary immigrants arrive in the U.S. at their own expense. The vast majority must find work on their own. If they wish to have an income. Now here's where I differ with Ryan. What he fails to understand is that,
Starting point is 00:36:34 uh, um, he's talking about legal immigrants, illegal immigrants get the same or better, uh, welfare benefits. As you see in California, now come into California,
Starting point is 00:36:44 cross into here illegally, and we'll immediately put you on unemployment. And you can collect $300 a week, which is way more than they're making when they're working in Central or South America, so why not come in? So he's completely discounting what's going on with illegal aliens. As a matter of fact, Biden's got new rules for illegal aliens who come in and work and join a union and they get superior benefits to Americans.
Starting point is 00:37:18 We've already seen that in terms of, uh, out of state tuition, an illegal alien can get out of state tuition, any state that he wants to, or, or out-of-state tuition in any state that he wants to, or get in-state tuition at any state that he wants to, whereas you have to have lived in that state for a certain period of time and paid taxes there or your family in order to get that in-state tuition. So again, it's cost on average $80,000 a year per refugee coming into the United States. As Ryan McMakin says, it's not enough that you pay for the bombs that create the refugees.
Starting point is 00:37:52 You will have to pay to resettle those refugees in your own home. And then they will be used, he doesn't say this, but they will be used by Biden and Soros and other people to create chaos in your communities. Chaos, crowding, you know, just to turn. The purpose is to, you know, when you look at it, it's not even necessarily great replacement doesn't really get to the full impact of what is happening. The real intention is to level all the nations into poverty. It's a leveling effect.
Starting point is 00:38:27 The UN and the World Economic Forum and all these leaders here in the US, they want to level us down to the poverty that makes it easy for them to control us. Look at how they've had their way in Africa. Keep people poor. Keep ripping them off, enslaving them. It's very easy to do that. And so as all this is happening, you have the Hezbollah leader saying, we're going to have to start attacking U.S. forces.
Starting point is 00:38:54 It's essential to stopping the bloodbath in Gaza, he says. So he says that Israel would have collapsed within days of the 7th of October if it were not for the support of the U.S. Well, no, he's wrong about that, but they will attack the U.S. Netanyahu says to Biden, you're wrong. There is no way that Palestinian authority is going to ever run Gaza again. We're going to completely clean it out, he says. And so when you look at how this war is escalating, take a look at this clip here. We have the hooties.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Just a couple of weeks ago, we're shooting down a very expensive U.S. drone, Reaper drone. And now they have used a helicopter to take over a private a commercial ship in the red sea and take it back to yemen here's some footage i've compressed some of the time so you'll see this is sped up a little bit and various places but this is footage at the you know on the helicopter you can see the guys as they get out. Have the hoods over their face. A bunch of pirates. This is like the Barbary pirates in the 21st century.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Their helicopter flies off. These guys with their rifles and everything. And the place is completely empty. I mean, this is a big commercial ship which typically doesn't have uh doesn't need much of a crew so they get to the the bridge here and the faces are blurred out but you can see the guy's t-shirt when you see it looking at grand tetons and uh so you know they've got these guys at gunpoint uh this uh ship by the way the Leader, is actually operated by a Japanese company. The Associated Press looked at its ownership and said it's owned by one of Israel's richest men.
Starting point is 00:40:51 So that's what they're saying. They're saying that we're going to capture this ship because it has Israeli connections. Now, what do you think the response is going to be with that? Well, it's going to escalate. And it's going to result in a direct attack against Yemen by the Israelis, if not by the Israelis and the Americans. This is the way this thing continually expands. It's so stupid in terms of strategy from the standpoint of Yemen. It makes you wonder what is real and what isn't.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You get to a point where the incompetence is so great, you just wonder, is it really incompetence? Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. I met a man who lives in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:43:33 He was heading for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie. From Pennsylvania, folks are traveling down to dixie's sunny shore from atlantic to pacific gee the traffic is terrific oh yeah let's uh ease up a little bit here bring in barry like blast from the past that That's Perry. Yeah. Let's talk about traveling on Thanksgiving and let's talk about what it was like three years ago. Thanksgiving 2020. Let's remember how the media was oppressing and scaring you about driving in a car.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Don't drive in a car cross country you could die thanksgiving day dilemma should you travel or stay at home well these are the uh little safety nazis at npr and um so this is november 18th 2020 thanksgiving day is next week and usually means long lines and crowded airports and traffic jams on the nation's highways. But that probably won't be true in 2020. The recent huge spike in COVID-19 cases has many people rethinking their travel plans. How did that happen? How did we have a huge spike?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Was it real? No. No. It was the Trump administration running this BS pandemic. For Alita Nissen and her husband Dave and their 14-year-old daughter, it is usually a pretty simple decision. They pack up the car. They drive from Tennessee to Pennsylvania for some homemade pumpkin pie.
Starting point is 00:45:19 No, they actually go to Bend, Oregon. A three-and-a-half-hour drive to Dave's mother's house over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house. We go in the southern part of the state. But this year, this year, well, we've been back and forth for about a month now. Said she said Alita deciding whether or not it's really doable. On the one hand, they make this same trip every year, a three and a half hour drive. But with a rapidly spreading coronavirus, it might not be worth the risk. I'm more of the mind, let's just skip it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Let's skip this year, she said. You know, it's just one year and you remember how they badgered us you know fauci yeah don't uh don't get together with your family and friends on the holidays don't do it don't do it yeah you'll die he said but on the other hand it's been a really tough year and the family could benefit from getting away and spending some time with relatives for a few days. But you know those relatives? They're like, they're diseased.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Like leprosy or something. You've got to wear masks and gloves because these people are filthy dirty. You could get germs from them. It was OCD America. Too afraid to get out of their houses and engage with even their family members. We haven't seen any of his family for a long time, she said, adding that her daughter started high school this fall remotely and really wants to see family.
Starting point is 00:46:57 She said it's this balance, isn't it? The relationship and the mental health aspect of being able to see the people you love but still trying to play it safe. Well, you know, love isn't safe, is it? It's not ever. Love is never safe. You know, you could get hurt physically. You could get hurt emotionally if you love somebody.
Starting point is 00:47:20 If you make yourself vulnerable, better put on that mask and keep your distance from people. That's the kind of society that Trump and Fauci and Biden and all the rest of these people wanted for us. Don't, don't. Love is not safe. Liberty is not safe. Get rid of love. Get rid of liberty. She said, well, we agreed that we'll go, but but under one condition if we're going to do it the only way to do it would be to get all tested beforehand and see the reason that npr is putting this together you know they're giving you a little narrative here and they're giving you that narrative because they want to use that to affect the way that you think. This is a push. They're programming you to think like this with their little stories.
Starting point is 00:48:16 You think that they would print something if they got somebody who said, well, I'm not afraid of what Fauci and you're saying. I'm going to go visit my relatives because I love them and I want to spend time with them. And I don't know if we'll all be here next year. No, they wouldn't put that kind of person there. Anybody had any doubts about their narrative? Anybody who was not cowed down by fear? No, they're not going to put that there i said uh well we know that um not all these people
Starting point is 00:48:47 going to follow through with their plans said a triple a spokesperson because i said you know we we uh we estimate that about 50 million people are thinking that they're going to go out of town but we know that they're going to think this through they're going to listen to Mr. Science Fauci, and they probably won't do this. But why do they always go to the AAA? How does the AAA know how many people are going to take a car trip? How could they possibly know that? They might have some estimate about how many people are going to be traveling on a plane because people buy their tickets in advance. I don't know if they even used that data. But again, NPR and AP and Reuters and all these people in the mainstream media understand how they operate. They've got an article to write.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And they've got a point of view that they want to get across. And so they will look to find the people that are going to say what that point of view should be. For example, the Nissen family. All right. I like the way they're looking at this. Let's use their story. And then when they want to talk about how many people are going to be traveling every year, they go to the triple a wine.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Does the triple a no, no, they don't. They don't have any idea. Yeah. They can say, well, I think it's gonna be 50 million people. But then again, I think, um, they're planning on 50 million people right now are planning on doing this, but, uh but it won't be that many. They're just making this stuff up, just like they do with the climate, just like they did with the pandemic, McGuffin. They're just making this stuff up.
Starting point is 00:50:11 AP, NPR, Reuters, they go to somebody who has a title that makes them look like an authority. And so they go to the AAA because, hey, these people, you know, they put out, you know, triptychs or whatever. You call them when you've got a flat tire. So they know what's going on. So we'll go to them. All I want to have is somebody who is a credible source. It doesn't mean that they know anything. And you're not going to question the veracity of their data because you want to have a source to fill in your article, to fill in the blank.
Starting point is 00:50:44 How many people are going to be traveling? Well, let's go to AAA and ask them. And so that's what they do. They go to AAA and ask them so they can shove that number in there. And it's like, well, that's the AAA said that. I don't know if it's true or not. I don't have any way of verifying that. Of course, they don't either because they don't have any data.
Starting point is 00:50:59 They're just making this stuff, making this all up. But they're an authoritative figure. That's how we get into this whole idea that authorities know. When they don't know, when they cover up their data, when they lie about their data, or when they don't even have any data at all, we go to these authorities to tell us what's going on. And so this AAA spokesperson at the time said, well, you know, not all of these people are going to travel.
Starting point is 00:51:30 And that's because they're reading the landscape. Reading the landscape? What does that mean? It means they're consuming the lies and the BS from Fauci? Are they seeing, when they read the landscape, are they seeing everybody in their neighborhood dropping dead? No, no, that didn't happen. Are they seeing everybody getting they read the landscape, are they seeing everybody in their neighborhood dropping dead? No, no, that didn't happen. Are they seeing everybody getting sick? No, no.
Starting point is 00:51:48 They're seeing news like NPR and Fauci who are telling them that. They're not reading the landscape. They said, they went on to say, AAA spokesperson that NPR wanted to get out there. They're watching COVID-19 cases going up. Going up where? In their neighborhood? No, on TV news, on the internet. They're watching the COVID cases going up.
Starting point is 00:52:12 That's going to stop people from making their decision to hit the road. Yeah, yeah, we're going to use, load our articles up with quotes from people who don't know anything. Tell them they need to stay home three years ago on cars.com they said nearly half of americans are planning to travel for thanksgiving 72 of them buy car again uh they don't know that but um they do know that most
Starting point is 00:52:38 people travel by car if you were to take that down that mean that 36 of the population if that were true i don't know if it is but if they're right that would mean that 36% of the population, if that were true, I don't know if it is. But if they're right, that would mean that 36% of the population is going to be traveling by car. Thanksgiving. 2020. While the whole world was dying, supposedly, from a pandemic. We've been watching consumer travel habits since the onset of the pandemic. And when people do travel, the majority travel by car because of the safety and the freedom
Starting point is 00:53:08 that cars provide. Safety from the government is what is more likely, you know, because any other form of transportation that you take, you're going to have the COVID cops out there controlling what you do on a bus, on a plane or on a train, but not in your car. And that's why this freedom to travel is so important for them to take that away. Don't ever lose sight of the importance of them taking away how important cars are to your liberty, how important cars are to escaping their control.
Starting point is 00:53:42 It's like gold to escape the financial controls of these people, your cars like gold. And, uh, so treat it as such and try to protect it. We don't want to lose the ability to have cars anymore. And we don't lose the ability to have gold and do what you can to keep this thing going. Um, again, you know, David and I dot gold. And, you know, make sure that you do what you need to to keep these kind of petty tyrants from doing this kind of control, surveillance approach with the money aspect of it.
Starting point is 00:54:19 That is so key. So COVID-19 continues to affect travel plans i said in 2020 while 47 of americans still plan to travel for thanksgiving it's down from 68 in 2019 from 68 down to 47 they said again again who knows do they cite any sources for this no did they do any polls no they didn't say that they'd say well according to rasmussen Poll or this or that. No, they just put those numbers out there, just made them up. Just like they made up all the stuff about the climate crisis. One more.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Don't travel this Thanksgiving, says an LA publication. But if you have to, if you absolutely must, here are some tips for doing it safely. Listen to what they're telling people to do. It's beyond belief. So if you do travel, again, they go back to AAA. So here's what AAA is telling people. AAA shilling for this establishment pandemic. Plan ahead.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Check with state and local authorities to find out what restrictions may be in place. Obey your government. This is like Mal's America, isn't it? Obey your government. Do what your government tells you to do. Next one. Follow public health guidance. Again, isn't this redundant? State and local authorities, but also public health guidance, observing a social distance of at least six feet, wearing a face mask. Play it safe, they said. Triple A. Call the hotel before you go.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Ask about what precautions they're taking for guests. What social distancing or mask policies you'll need to follow. Yeah. I guess i should have called ahead before i got thrown out of a couple of hotels i was um staying in town because we're doing around the clock broadcast on 2020 elections and i went into the lobby of this um hotel gigantic lobby completely empty it was like something out of brazil you know the terry gilliam movie or a kafka novel and there's one person standing there she's got a mask on she's young she's got a mask on and she's surrounded with plexiglass and i walk in i said i'd like to
Starting point is 00:56:43 book a room tonight and you got to put on a mask you got to put on a mask just like there's you know i'm six feet away from her because of all the plexiglass and she's on the other side of plexiglass and we're in this massive room lobby completely empty and she won't talk to me absolutely will not talk to me unless I put on a mask. As I walked out in disgust. I don't have a mask. Oh, I got one here. Well, your dirty hands have been on it. I, you know, I'm OCD too, right?
Starting point is 00:57:15 I'm not putting on any mask for anybody. Anyway, it doesn't realize, you know, do you realize I've got a beard? Even if that thing were effective, it doesn't have a seal. Anyway, they go on. For people who are doing car rentals, listen, this is AAA. Call the rental agency to find out what they do to disinfect their vehicles. Then either way, wipe down all the door handles and the steering wheel and the shifter and the control panels.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Wow. OCD? OCD. the door handles and the steering wheel and the shifter and the control panels wow ocd ocd you know it's like these people carry cloth around with them to wipe off phones they would talk on back in the day when everybody didn't have their own personal phone but yeah crazy and of course for air travelers wipe down your chair says triple a wipe down the armrest wipe down the belt buckles and the trays and all of this is being put out there by triple a this is long after all of this oh this is going to spread by touch that was completely debunked by a guy in germany i remember reporting on it of course the mainstream media did not want to pick up on his report he said we went into a this place where everybody was sick with respiratory disease and his family reporting on it. Of course, the mainstream media did not want to pick up on his report. He said, we went into this place where everybody was sick with respiratory disease in his family.
Starting point is 00:58:35 We tested him, tested positive for COVID. He goes, so I went in and I ran tests on all the hard surfaces everywhere, see if I could find any positive tests with this COVID. I couldn't find any positive tests. Completely debunked all this wipe everything down nonsense. So here we are today in 2023. Everything you need to know about traveling this Thanksgiving. AAA. Again, they go to AAA. This is WABC out of New York. Goes to AAA to find out what AAA says projects this year's traveling.
Starting point is 00:59:07 They don't know, but they're saying it's going to be the third highest Thanksgiving forecast since they began tracking this stuff back in 2000. I don't know they're tracking it. They don't ever give any information about this. But again, the media feeds this idea of experts who pretend to know something that they don't know, and they never question any of this stuff. They don't even know if these people have data. They don't know how the data has been collected and all the rest of this.
Starting point is 00:59:31 But they continue to go to them. And so, you know, we're back to the old crazy, which is what you go through if you go to the TSA. The foods that have to be checked into your baggage. Put the cranberry sauce in there with your clothing. Make sure that doesn't open up. Also, liquids like wine and champagne, where you're going to have some real interesting clothes when you get there after they throw the luggage all around.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Canned fruit or vegetables, preserves, jams, and jellies, that's all got to go in your bags. And then just hope the TSA baggage handlers don't steal it because you're not allowed to lock your bags from any valuables. Of course, you know, people don't. I remember my brother-in-law traveled about 20 years ago, and they had just as before cell phones became the ubiquitous way of recording video everywhere.
Starting point is 01:00:31 And so they were taking a family vacation. Kids were young and he bought a new camcorder and they would not let him, you know, well, I guess he didn't have it. He didn't think to carry through. It was still in the box. He put it in the luggage because he's a Democrat and he trusts the government and, uh, they, uh, they stole it. Uh, and, and the thing is they, they opened it up.
Starting point is 01:01:01 They opened up the box. They took the camera out and they put the box back in empty. So he gets there and, you know, uh know uh just i guess to buy themselves more time and more plausible deniability we didn't take it look how long it's been since this guy came back you know he probably lost it somewhere he still got the box yeah he was furious and uh he wouldn't listen to me when i said i told you about the government i told you about theSA. So this year you can download the free MyTSA app. And it has a handy what can I bring feature to find out what is allowed in the land of the fee and the home of the slave. What can I fly with?
Starting point is 01:01:42 This is why we need to have cars, right? Because it just keeps getting worse. So again, they probably won't steal your food there. But the whole purpose of this exercise is they're coming after the cars because they don't want you to have liberty, but they're also coming after the cars because they don't want you to own anything and the fourth third thing I will point to is a very big move
Starting point is 01:02:09 that's happening at the moment from product to service I have a friend he says every product is a service waiting to happen if you think about it I mean your cell phone why do you want to own your cell phone does how many of you own your cell phones how many knows if the to own your cell phone? How many of you own your cell phones? How many knows if the company owns it? It's actually not a lot. I mean, you want the function. You want the service, right?
Starting point is 01:02:32 Why do you want to own a cell phone if you can just lease it? And if you lease, why shouldn't you lease your refrigerator or your washing machine or your dishwasher? Why do you want to own it? So that they don't have to pay for it always and perpetuity. Look, it's always been known that one of the easiest ways to get wealthy is to rent something forever, right? And it's, you know, you want to be the guy who owns the apartment so you can rent it to people or you want to rent this or you want to rent that
Starting point is 01:03:04 and you make more money renting stuff. that's one of the reasons why the car companies have been pushing people do leases and everything but yeah that's the reason i want to own it so i don't keep paying for it forever forever and that's why they want you to lease it from them so that you will keep paying it forever uh that is a big part of it that's their economic thing but it's also about the control to take away that freedom of mobility that we had even three years ago during the height of insanity as we were looking at Thanksgiving 2020. On Rockfan, Ronald Atkins, thank you very much for the tip. He says, thanks for your integrity. Well, thank you. I'd love to hit the tail of the dragon with you this spring after I recover from my motorcycle accident. I had an I-75 in September. Well, I hope you're doing better. I've never been
Starting point is 01:03:55 to the tail of the dragon. I've always read about it. And all the years that we came, we would come in a different direction and not go through that area and uh it's uh always been something i thought i might like to do with the miata but i just never get out anymore i mean i am so tied to the desk with all this stuff it's it's become crazy it's why gotta take a couple of days off for thanksgiving uh this week and uh we'll take Thursday and Friday off. We'll have some replays that I think you're going to like. And, um, but yeah, I've never been down, still haven't been down there. Been here for a year. I haven't been down there.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Uh, Rockfin Angus Mustang. I remember Pennsylvania was saying that you had to wear a mask in your own car, driving the interstate passing through. Yeah. You know, keep it, keep it from, you know, coming out of your car somehow with the windows up circulating through there. I guess it is insanity, isn't it? I remember driving around with Karen and we had the top down, no mask, of course, and, uh, stopping at a light looking over and there's a couple there, and they got the windows up,
Starting point is 01:05:05 and both of them are wearing masks inside their car with the windows up. And that happened more than once, by the way. Rumble, three little birds. It's all based on the sustainable development goals, all policies in every industry. Yeah. Rockfin, General McGuffin,
Starting point is 01:05:24 I think all that BS is just to deter people from traveling and to make it inconvenient, as well as to keep family divided over the holiday. That's it. Divide and conquer. You're absolutely right. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back,
Starting point is 01:05:38 I want to talk about some other division that is happening. And it's not just the division that is going back and forth over Israel versus Palestine and everything but it's also the cancel culture that is being embraced by the right not just the left but the right's got their own version of it as well
Starting point is 01:05:58 tell Alexa to add the APS radio skill and have access to the best channels anywhere from country to blues, classic hits to news, APS Radio curates incredibly diverse playlists for you to enjoy. Get details at APSRadio.com. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Let's take a couple of examples of cancel culture. One of them is from the left, and it's centered around Christmas decorations. Another one is from the left and it's centered around Christmas decorations. Another one is from the right. And it is an attempt at self-censoring, essentially. What Christians say because somebody else that we don't like
Starting point is 01:08:16 said it. Let's take a look at the Christmas decorations. We have, and this is from WND, a government lists acceptable Christmas decorations. And then they got a letter from the opposite of the ACLU. You know, we've seen this run my entire life. You know, somebody put up a nativity scene in a public space and the ACLU writes them a letter.
Starting point is 01:08:43 And now we've got an organization that has set itself up to do the opposite. Originally, they were only going to allow non-religious things like snowflakes. And we're talking about actual representations of snowflakes and not the people themselves. Snowflakes, greenery, and northern northern lights whatever that means and so then liberty council sent city officials in wawatosa wisconsin a letter and they quickly backpedaled on their demands but listen to the way that they what they first said to do and then how they rephrased this the liberty council pointed out the requirement for a non-religious decorations exhibited hostility to christianity which is illegal you see the free exercise of religion by people even if they are city officials even if they're
Starting point is 01:09:41 doing it at work the free exercise of religion is protected it's not an establishment of religion establishment of religion is when the government says this is the official religion and you will attend this these services these religious services church services whatever uh and or pay right and that was the the situation when the non-establishment clause was put there. You had all these different states. Each of them did have an official state religion. They did not want to have an official religion for the entire United States because they all had their different denominations. And so they put that in there.
Starting point is 01:10:22 But that did not stop them from having an established state church that continued on in Massachusetts into like 1840. And similarly in another, uh, I think it was Connecticut. And, uh, then there were other issues like that, that, um, you know, we would, uh, uh, see the ACLU all over today. Uh, but it was about religious toleration, not religious suppression. And it was about stopping an official state-established religion that would, in many cases, would require attendance. And some of these states, you were required to attend that church.
Starting point is 01:10:59 But some of them, they did not require, and to give them money, and some of them, they only required you to give them money. And I've raised this more than once, probably about a half dozen times, really, in Colonial Williamsburg, when you'd have the Jefferson, an actor, talk about that. And he'd be talking about how proud he was of religious toleration that he had put in. And I made the analogy of government schools i said um you as you know referring to jefferson uh you supported the idea of government schools but do you not see that it's the same thing that's being done there is a worldview a religion that is being taught in the schools and to say that people have to both attend it and financially support it, as was the case when I was growing up,
Starting point is 01:11:50 it's not much better when you say that people don't have to attend it, but I still have to pay for this religious indoctrination in the schools today. Same type of thing. That's the establishment. That's the establishment. When you have to pay for it, or you have to pay for it and attend anyway back to this small town of wisconsin they told employees in an email that the christmas decorations and the events had to be inclusive and equitable and they used that phrase nine
Starting point is 01:12:19 times in this email yeah so this is about despite acknowledging that christmas is a significant holiday for many the administrators stated the need to foster a more equitable and inclusive community quote unquote for those who don't celebrate christmas said liberty council so you're not going to be allowed to do free exercise of your religion or your holidays or whatever you want to do you see this is when you look at this you you know, everybody's like, oh, this war on Christmas stuff is back again. Do you understand that the war on Christmas is like the bump stock issue or the pistol brace issue?
Starting point is 01:12:56 Because they'll go from the bump stock, which nobody really cares about, you know, it's like, oh, you know, I can't put up Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer here. Oh, well, you know, I don't care about that kind of stuff. I don't even care about the religious aspects of it. I don't, you know, I celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Christmas in our family, not because we think that was the time that Jesus was born or that we're required to celebrate. But I require, we don't require, we, we celebrate it, uh, because other people tell us we can't have to stand up for those.
Starting point is 01:13:31 It's just like the bump stock. You know, I didn't go out and buy a bump stock, but, uh, you know, it's this, it's this thing that in and of itself is not any importance, but it's a very important precedent because if you allow them to do the bump stock, then the next thing they do is to say, say well now we're going to take the pistol braces does that work you're not going to do anything when i take your pistol brace okay next thing is i'm going to come for ammunition i'm going to come for particular guns i'm just going to keep banning stuff until you tell me to stop you see and so you tell them to stop right away and it works that way with first amendment as well when they censor us even if it's for something trivial,
Starting point is 01:14:06 we should not stand for that. When they censor us, even if it's somebody that we disagree with, that's a real jerk and totally wrong. We should not allow that. Even if it's hateful, even if it's anti-Semitic, we should allow that. So first they came for the christmas decorations first they first they came for the nativity scene then they came for santa claus and rudolph uh winter wonderland snowflakes and snow
Starting point is 01:14:36 people they don't want to say a snowman right snow people that's the way they put it and other non-religious symbols associated with winter those are allowed lights and greenery you know it's interesting they don't mention santa claus so many of these secularists think that santa claus is some kind of religious uh figure um of course as megan kelly pointed out we all know that santa claus is white oh do you what do you know about Santa Claus Megan please tell us it's important this is what Fox News is all about um and this year again you know they're having and it is kind of retarget has uh all different ethnic groups dressed as Santa Claus and they put them in a wheelchair you know that's kind of you know anyway um
Starting point is 01:15:26 must have fallen when he was going down the uh chimney i don't know um festive lighting and greenery can create a warm welcoming atmosphere without specific religious connotations said the memo northern lights draw inspiration from the aur Borealis, and they incorporate colors like blue, green, and purple. By the way, they did not want you to use red and green. I don't know what the significance to red and green at Christmastime is. Other people have said, well, you know, we copied Christmas from these pagan things, Saturnalia, and that was red and green, so that's where we get the red. I don't know. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:16:03 I don't care, quite frankly. Again, it gives me an opportunity to talk about christ and his incarnation and if you got some uh some person's got their nose been out of shape and thinks that this is some kind of religious holiday to me so therefore they're going to stop me from exercising it well then i will exercise it good and hard uh liberty council's letter to the city said the Christmas holiday ban violates the U.S. Constitution by showing hostility towards Christianity. First Amendment does not permit the city to eliminate Christmas holiday symbols or expression, free expression, exercise,
Starting point is 01:16:38 and a misguided attempt to be inclusive by eliminating other people. By eliminating this, stop. We're going to be inclusive, so we're going to ban what you eliminating other people. By eliminating this, stop. We're going to be inclusive, so we're going to ban what you've got there. Officials immediately corrected their memo. They claimed the email was not, quote, a policy directive. They said a requirement to decorate or not decorate in any certain way, telling employees that they cannot bring their full selves to work. Boy, this place is crazy, the way they talk.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Telling employees they cannot decorate their individual workspace, telling individuals how to decorate their homes or businesses. They said that's not what it was about. They said it was about asking our employees to consider all members of our community before deciding how to decorate public spaces and city-owned government buildings. You know, if somebody is offended by a nativity scene or Santa Claus or something like that, I'm just like, well, get a life. You know, I mean, you can't live your life if you have to cover up anything that anybody could be offended about
Starting point is 01:17:41 because there are crazy people out there, and there are people who are just curmudgeons and they're offended by everything. And that is not the way that we should have to live our lives. So anyway, the officials have now backtracked. The original email clearly warned employees to refrain from using traditional Christmas decorations, including red and green, the new communication now states that employees are free to decorate in the manner they've historically decorated or to alter their decorations to be more inclusive at their own discretion. Well, whoop-dee-doo. Isn't that wonderful? And when we look at on the right, there is, and this is also on WND, this is an article from Michael Brown, and he says, what did Candace Owens mean by Christ is king when she quoted that Bible thing? Now, this is back and forth.
Starting point is 01:18:32 And was she directing that at Ben Shapiro? You know, because she puts that up. They're having this debate back and forth about Israel and Palestine and things like that. And, you know, and attacking each other over there, uh, their positions. I thought it was funny. Babylon B uh, does this Photoshop thing and, uh, puts them both in a t-shirt. I forget what the phrase was. You know, this is our, our get along t-shirt or something like that.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Cause maybe they do that to kids. I, we never did that to our kids. If they would, if the boys would fight with each other, they were about the same something like that because maybe they do that to kids i we never did that to our kids if they would if the boys would fight with each other they were about the same age if they would fight with each other um we would make them hug and uh say they're sorry and they hated that more than they get upset about anything else when they were young so that they kind of put the kibosh on that but um anyway michael king is looking at this and so she puts this Bible verse out there. And when Ben Shapiro says, well, if working here is getting in the way of you following your God or something, then quit. And she says, it's so much like you to read yourself into everything that I put out there.
Starting point is 01:19:36 And so at the end of the Bible verse, she put Christ as king. And so I said, well, I don't know, maybe that was directed at him. Does she typically put out Bible verses? I don't know. But Michael Brown has a problem with her using the phrase Christ is king. And Michael Brown is a pastor, I think, somewhere. And because he writes on WND all the time about religious issues. And so he says, I agree with Shapiro's concerns on Israel, and I want to focus on Owens posting the words, Christ is king, on Twitter. And so that got my attention. And he says, for those wondering what could be wrong with proclaiming Christ as king if you were a Christian, the unfortunate reality is that this beautiful,iblically based truth has been hijacked
Starting point is 01:20:25 by elements of the extreme religious right often with anti-semitic implications okay so what so what so now this guy a christian michael brown wants to purge the phrase christ is king because it's been adopted by Nick Fuentes and his mob or some other anti-Semitic people. Cause he does talk a great deal about something he saw with a rant that Nick Fuentes was doing. It was anti-Semitic Ku Klux Klan. As I've said before,
Starting point is 01:20:57 hijacked the cross. So do we have to lose that as a symbol because of Ku Klux Klan or do we oppose the Ku Klux Klan? So should we oppose Nick Fuentes or should we just give up whatever he wants to steal? Do we oppose the Ku Klux Klan, or we just give it up whenever they want to steal a symbol? You know, if they want to steal the cross or the Confederate flag, we just give it up. We did that with the Confederate flag, not doing it with a cross. He says, I pointed this out of my august article denouncing an
Starting point is 01:21:28 anti-semitic rant by nick fuentes where he said to rousing applause and shouts of affirmation word is getting out about let me just say this about nick fuentes um i i can't stand what this guy does absolutely cannot stand it. Alex loves to have him on because, you know, he can be all things to all people. You know, Alex can cheer Israel and then have Nick Fuentes on. You know, he straddles everything. And if it's somebody who is big, he brings them in. And so when I was at InfoWars, he'd bring Nick Fuentes in several times.
Starting point is 01:22:02 I would not interview this guy. He's disgusting. He would not interview this guy. Uh, he's disgusting. He's a sleaze bag. He's like Kanye West or, uh, Andrew Tate or Milo at the time. Yeah. I mean, it's just what? Yeah. Anyway. Um, yeah, it's just, just filled with hate.
Starting point is 01:22:21 It was just pandering to a particular demographic because that's what Alex does and he just keeps flip-flopping around from famous person to famous person. He doesn't care what they're about as long as they can bring an audience to his show. He doesn't care. So Michael Brown said, in August, I talked about an anti-Semitic rant by Nick Fuentes where he said, to rousing applause and shouts of affirmation, quote, word is getting out that we've got to get rid, we've got to rid of Jewish power in America. And despite them doing everything in their power to stop it, censoring and canceling and killing, we're here to say that America is not a Jewish nation.
Starting point is 01:22:57 America is a Christian nation. And Michael Brown says, at the time I said, you know, you got to see this video for yourself, but to paint the picture here in words, he said at this point in the speech on the screen behind him, giant angel wings are flapping on his right and his left as if this was some kind of, as if he were some kind of an angelic messenger. Um, it wasn't just the right wing that was flapping. His mouth was flapping and he had a left and a right wing that was flapping behind him as well. He says, it really does seem like a sick attempt at satire, but it was not.
Starting point is 01:23:33 In fact, says Michael Brown, in response to his proclamation that America is a Christian nation, not a Jewish nation, the crowd began to chant, Christ is king, Christ is king. And in his view and in the view of his followers, Christ is king over the world and therefore king over America, not just in a spiritual sense, but in the sense of let's take this country back from the Jews. Okay, so how do you approach bad or false speech like that? Now, Michael Brown's idea is that because of this little twerp, Nick Fuentes, and his hate and his hateful group using the phrase Christ is king, it's now tainted.
Starting point is 01:24:18 We can't use it. Candace should never have used that. Don't you use it. I wonder what else he's going to steal from us that we don't want to take back. What a pathetic way to react to things. But understand that this is the same type of tactic that Ben Shapiro, while we're talking about Candace Owens,
Starting point is 01:24:37 let's talk about Ben Shapiro as well. The same kind of tactic that Ben Shapiro used with Louis Farrakhan. I've played that clip multiple times. Whereas they were pushing the Trump shot with Louis Farrakhan. I've played that clip multiple times. Whereas they were pushing the Trump shot, Louis Farrakhan said, uh, well be careful of this.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Uh, you know, this is gonna, it's not tested. And he went down a whole litany of reasons why you should not get that shot. And why you should be suspicious of a government trying to shove that down your throat, shove it into your arms.
Starting point is 01:25:08 And Farrakhan was 100% right about that. He's pretty much wrong about everything else. And he's a very clownish, hateful figure. And so Ben Shapiro, who was trying to push the jab, the ultimate propaganda machine for Ben Shapiro, who was trying to push the jab, the ultimate propaganda machine for Ben Shapiro, was to show somebody that was hateful, anti-Semitic, clownish, racist like Louis Farrakhan, and to put him out there as the face of vaccine resistance. You see how they do this?
Starting point is 01:25:45 And do you see what is happening here as well? Michael Brown may not be realizing what he's doing, but he's putting out Nick Fuentes as, you know, this example, this face that we need to be afraid of. So if Nick Fuentes is against, if Nick Fuentes is embracing christ the king then we need to reject it just like if louis faircon is rejecting the vaccine ben shapiro says you need to reject louis farrakhan do you understand how they're controlling speech in the
Starting point is 01:26:16 narrative this is bigger than what you think about the vaccine or i mean it's not big about i'm saying the general principle here applies to everything. This is the way these people operate. This is the way, a very effective way that they propagandize you by putting, by grabbing somebody that you don't like, that you don't agree with. And if you can hear them, get them to say what you want them to say. Then it's tainted. Whatever that person says is now tainted.
Starting point is 01:26:47 So Farrakhan's opposition to vaccines, now opposition to vaccines is tainted because it's Farrakhan. If Fuente says Christ is king, now it's tainted because Fuente said it. You see? I'm not going to be a part of that. I'm not going to let this guy hijack a biblical phrase, biblical idea. I'm not going to let him associate it with evil and be quiet.
Starting point is 01:27:10 I think it's reprehensible to do that. It's chicken to do that. In June, Fuentes advocated for a Catholic Taliban rule in America, explaining that such a regime would ban same-sex marriage and contraception. His followers, known as Groypers, were a consistent presence at anti-vaccine and anti-abortion rallies in 2021, often holding aloft crucifixes and chanting Christ is King. So, now do we drop opposition to abortion?
Starting point is 01:27:37 Do we drop opposition to the vaccines, as Ben Shapiro was trying to get us to do by using Louis Farrakhan? Do we drop all that? Do we drop the phrase Christ the King? So he goes on to say, that chant is now a calling card to Nick Fuentes and America First, a podcast, conference, and community within the broader white Christian nationalist movement. It also happens to be a core proclamation of Christians throughout the centuries. Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:11 Well, then what you need to do is not try to find every single false thing that's out there, Michael Brown, about Christianity, but you need to present an authentic version of what Christianity is. You're a pastor. So tell people what Christ the King means. You know, we're coming up to Christmas time, so we're supposed to get rid of all of our Christmas decorations, and more importantly, we're supposed to get rid of Christ the King means. You know, we're coming up to Christmas time, so we're supposed to get rid of all of our Christmas decorations, and more importantly, we're supposed to get rid of Christ the King? Or anybody that uses it is now a suspect and has to explain themselves and denounce Nick Fuentes?
Starting point is 01:28:38 No. I'll denounce Nick Fuentes all the time, but I don't have to explain myself when I say something is true. And I don't have to denounce Louis Farrakhan to talk about the truth about vaccines either. It's really crazy logic, but this is how they control us. And this is how he ends. I certainly hope that this is not what Candace Owens means. A clarification, however, is certainly called for. He said, we do not mess with such sacred words.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Well, again, who's messing with it? You know, if she's using it as a political dog whistle like uh you know uh and look and and understand his concerns because candace owen uh did uh you know sign up for kanye west who was an anti-semitic idiot uh i think it was simply skin color issues there with her how in the world could she take somebody who is as dumbed down and sexually depraved as Kanye West? How could Candace Owen support him? Well, simply, you know, skin color. And so that discredited her. In my opinion, she was also discredited when she started to challenge Trump and then back down on the vaccines. Started to question him about that, but she was afraid. She is not afraid to jump into a fight with Ben Shapiro over Kanye West or any of this other stuff but she did not want to kill herself commit political suicide by
Starting point is 01:30:29 criticizing trump because you see trump is king in her world just like he is in the world of most of these people we're going to take a break here and come back i want to talk a little bit about javier malai uh i want to moderate some of the things that I had to say about him after I've seen some of the clips of what this guy is doing. I've just been reading his statements about economics. This guy is an unbelievable character. Pretty entertaining, but I'm going to keep him at arm's length at the very best. On RockfanDougalog, thank you very much for the tip.
Starting point is 01:31:04 And on RumbleKWD68, I'm looking forward to the baphomet trees link that the very best um on rock fan dougalog thank you very much for the tip and on rumble kwd 68 i'm looking forward to the baphomet trees that the bitens do this year well you know they did have mal on christmas decorations in the obama white house that was uh rumble billy the kid part two and they all worship trump the dump yeah they all think that Trump is the king. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader. If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine. Don't ask questions. using free speech to free minds it's the david knight show whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass aps radio has you covered check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. All right, let's take a look at Javier Molloy.
Starting point is 01:32:52 I'm looking at what he's saying about the central bank. It's like, right on. That's great. That's exactly right. And we need to have people that are exactly the opposite of the socialist baronistas and all the rest of this stuff. But there's some other baggage that comes along. I was laughing about the fact that the Wall street journal was just focused on his hair but it appears that javier malai is also focused on his hair and some other really strange things that he's focused on he's made some very strange statements i'd seen some of the comments that he had made about the
Starting point is 01:33:20 pope but of course the pope is not representative of traditional catholicism in any way shape or form i mean i've seen life site news constantly you know and and conservative catholics are saying this guy is the pope catholic well no they say not a rhetorical question anymore and so you know the fact that he criticized the Pope because the Pope is pushing climate change and other things like that, that I knew that he, um, uh, um, opposed. And so if the Pope is going to get into politics, he's fair game to criticize his policies and what he has to say. But it was, you know, pretty harsh. But, um, as we see in the aftermath of this election, now people are looking at him even
Starting point is 01:34:01 more closely. And I just dismissed a lot of this stuff is the leftist socialist, mainstream media, looking at a way to take down somebody who identifies as an an anarcho capitalist. And, um, so of course he's going to be their enemy, but he's not seeing some really strange behavior. His victory dance here. Uh, he's kind of a frenetic character.
Starting point is 01:34:23 Okay. dance here uh he's a kind of a frenetic character okay well uh they're not um definitely not a uh white anglo-saxon protestant response to a uh a wasp response to a victory he's jumping around on stage his hair is flying and all the rest of this stuff it's like okay that's his victory dance and then um he um uh is talking about what he's going to do to the social programs and again this is in his native language i don't even know what they speak in in argentina again uh i guess i'll have to go to war with him so i can find out what language they speak so i'm an american i don't know anything about these other countries and i don't care either quite frankly for the most part i think it'll be interesting to see what happens here because the economic and political conflicts that's why i was covering it but he has a board set up where he's got the names of these different agencies here it is and he says out you know and
Starting point is 01:35:21 he's got it's like a magnet board right and he pronounces the name of the agency and then he rips it off the board and says out out Ministry of Women Genders and Diversity out good
Starting point is 01:35:31 Ministry of Public Works whatever that is out and he goes through all these things right Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation out
Starting point is 01:35:39 Ministry of Labor and Employment Security out Ministry of Education indoctrination he says out Ministry of Transport out Ministry of Labor and Employment, security out. Ministry of Education, indoctrination, he says, out. Ministry of Transport, out. Ministry of Health, out. Ministry of Social Development, out.
Starting point is 01:35:54 The thievery of politics is over. Long live liberty. And so, again, you know, you look at this stuff and it's like, okay, that's a little bit intense, but, you know, for politics, but it wakes people up. And good for that. But then, you know, he's also got his program where all he does is just scream profanity. It's very much over the top. Okay, well, you know, that's his style. Not my style, for sure.
Starting point is 01:36:23 But, you know, that could still be okay i guess uh and then you have um this that shows up here he is his association with the world economic forum oh oh and uh as other people are putting out on social media. So many people are so excited about this new guy, they don't understand the long game being played on them by those pulling the strings. It's a classic case of when the people need a hero, one will be provided to them. Well, as a matter of fact, he has dressed up like a hero himself.
Starting point is 01:37:05 Here he is singing to the tune of La Traviata and dressed up as his favorite superhero. I don't know if they're going to cut back and show this guitar player, but the guy back there playing guitar can't really play guitar. He's standing there in tights with big bulging thigh muscles. This is all about the visuals okay okay so this guy is kind of if you look at his personal life um and you look at his stunts and you look at all the rest of the stuff he's kind of a strange combination everybody's you know trump yeah he's got trophy wife that he uh uses and he talks about how he is a tantric uh uh sex master and all the rest of this stuff and um she left her husband just uh within the last year her husband of 22
Starting point is 01:38:17 years she left to shack up with him she's the new first lady i guess you put lady in quotes air quotes there. But, you know, so there's that kind of stuff, very Trump-like. And, you know, the hair and the trophy wives and stuff like that. And then there's the clownish stuff like Alex Jones. So it's kind of a combination of Trump and Alex Jones and then um uh other people like uh andrew tate and uh kanye west in terms of sexual depravity uh the two of them uh but then unlike andrew tate and kanye west who are died in the anti-semitic um he is apparently an israeli puppet here he is at a rally and he gets rid of the flag of their country and he's
Starting point is 01:39:07 flying the Israeli flag. He says he's going to move the embassy to Jerusalem and he wants to become Jewish, he says. So again, you know, what is going on? We'll have to see what happens with the politics, but I'll just say this. Maybe we should start looking. We don't want to look for politicians to be saviors or superheroes, number one. Number two, maybe we should focus on people who have character rather than people who are characters.
Starting point is 01:39:43 Because who is he? He's playing these different roles. He's dressing up as this. Because who is he? You know, he's playing these different roles. He's dressing up as this. So who is, what is he really about? What is he really about? And who's he going to really take orders from? Is it going to be the World Economic Forum? Is it going to be Israel?
Starting point is 01:39:56 Who's he going to take orders from with all this stuff? What's his real agenda? You know, the bottom line is, is that this guy is, you know, you look at his personal life, look at the the manic way that he acts and uh what he is you know they got people up there saying you don't tread on me flags that's uh everywhere and um argentina is first libertarian president well look you know that that all that stuff looked good but it's very important to have character and it's important to not have pride arrogance profanity sexual depravity these are not things you want to tie yourself to the american founders they didn't have any of that stuff i mean if there
Starting point is 01:40:42 was something private going on with these guys they didn't make it public they didn't have any of that stuff. I mean, if there was something private going on with these guys, they didn't make it public. They didn't make a parade out of their sin. Why are we continually focusing on this? Do we really want to have statesmen or do we want to have entertainers? And so I look at this. The other thing is we're coming up to Thanksgiving. Understand that our founders who had character, they weren't characters, they had character. They saw liberty as a blessing from God.
Starting point is 01:41:13 That's why George Washington said, let's declare a day of Thanksgiving. That's why Benjamin Franklin said, well, God has pulled us victoriously through a war with the superpower of the world. He didn't use those terms. And he said you'd have to be blind not to see God's providence and protection. So let's begin with a prayer of thanksgiving. Let's ask for God's guidance in writing this constitution. Now, the other people didn't join along with him. But they understood that they had not achieved this through their strength, which is why they didn't do this.
Starting point is 01:41:53 First of all, they would have flipped their wig. He's got hair that looks like it's a wig, but it's not a wig. So he can jump up and down like that. But they didn't do the grandstanding stuff. They didn't promote their pride, their arrogance. They also did not brag about their sexual depravity and do it with profanity. The bottom line is that if this even works for him, right, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Will he be able to get through his economic policies? But is life about
Starting point is 01:42:25 more than economic policies? Is life about more than politics? What does it profit Javier Malai or you to gain the whole world and lose your own soul? He's having a run now, but we see that. And many times I look at people like Bill Gates and they say, well, you know, God could bring things about in Bill Gates' life that would humble him as he did, for example, Nebuchadnezzar and get him to see the bigger picture of life, to understand that life is temporary, that he's going to have to stand before God. He could do that type of thing to Bill Gates. And it scares me to see somebody who is getting away with the kind of stuff that Bill Gates is getting away with
Starting point is 01:43:13 or pick your favorite villain, Klaus Schwab or whatever. We need to see them as victims. We need to see them as captives in this spiritual war and it's frightening to think what they will become and so we don't do this type of stuff and it disturbs me to see that because it is becoming more and more of a pattern here in america as well as abroad god will not honor that and if he does succeed he may very well succeed, you know, God is not honoring Gates. God is leading Gates, uh, to the slaughter, quite frankly, um, by not, uh, slapping him down. Uh, Harps says it's Spanish Trump, Spanish Trump and Spanish Alec all rolled into one person yeah uh on rockfin
Starting point is 01:44:07 uh audi modern retro radio hey audi uh if he wasn't owned by the wef he wouldn't have won yeah that's probably right yeah we look at that and um i don't know you know it's um uh they they do want to have uh him in or they would not have allowed that to happen. So again, we don't want to get too focused on elections. We want to focus on what is real. We want to focus on what we can, you know, and that is your relationship with God, your family, your community, preparing for things. And so when we come back, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back back we're going to take a quick break and when we
Starting point is 01:44:46 come back we're going to talk about that talk a little bit about what is happening with money and how you know you need to be aware that so that you can make some preparations for that we'll be right back Using free speech to free minds.

Starting point is 01:45:32 Get details at APSradio.com. Well, you may have noticed the last couple of days this soap opera that is happening with OpenAI, the company that Sam Altman got kicked out of. He's on, I guess he's one of the founders of this, and the board of directors there kicked him off, and then the CEO of Microsoft threw a fit because they're doing things with ChatGPT. But the stock market also was impacted by this. Why? Well, just underscore how artificial
Starting point is 01:46:07 the stock market is. Take a look at what they do with artificial intelligence. If it wasn't for the AI stocks this last year, the stock market would not have done that well. And after you look at what happened with the back and forth of personnel and Sam Altman with OpenAI, futures were flat after OpenAI train wreck as markets brace for NVIDIA earnings. The U.S. stock futures raised earlier losses to trade flat as Microsoft gained 2% in pre-market trading, sending it to a new all-time high after it said that Sam Altman will now lead the software developers new in-house artificial intelligence team. So this is big economic news.
Starting point is 01:46:55 This all happened yesterday. And why? Well, because AI doesn't just stand for artificial intelligence. It also stands for the artificial inflation of the stock market in 2023. And so if something is going to happen to OpenAI and Sam Altman, who's been at the epicenter of all this, it shakes the markets. As of 8.30 a.m., S&P futures were flat yesterday, following three weeks of gains that pushed the index nearly 10% higher and propelling it to an 11-week high. Because this is completely, it's like virtual investment. It's completely detached from reality.
Starting point is 01:47:37 What is real is based on a hype narrative for these people. And so you need to focus on something that is going, especially for the financial stuff, focus on something that they're trying to. When you look at AI, my concerns about AI, whether or not this is going to be a big business venture, you know, Gerald Slinty thinks that this is going to be huge. I think it's maybe a bit early. You know, I think they've already had three of these things built up and collapsed and so um i think it's a good chance that this is being oversold uh gerald thinks this time is going to be the charm regardless of what you think about that and he says look i'm not saying that i like it he's saying i'm just saying that it's going to be a big financial success and he said and
Starting point is 01:48:23 because he's aware as what i don't like about it is the surveillance and the control aspect that it's going to give people. That's what it's going to be useful. It's going to be used for censorship. And you look at what Sam Altman is doing with his world coin and his orb that he'll get your, you know, he'll give you a little bit of,
Starting point is 01:48:41 you know, he'll pay you on his cryptocurrency. If you let him scan your retina to put into his global ID base because he's trying to set up a global ID. It's all about surveillance and control. You see, those are not two separate things. WorldCoin is not different from his AI venture. They both feed the same thing. Artificial intelligence, they've got cameras everywhere watching everything that you do they're looking at the internet all of social media was set up to be a massive database about
Starting point is 01:49:13 you you know um the security state wanted to set up a total information awareness everybody said we don't want you doing that the government should not be tracking that kind of stuff. So they shut down and immediately you had Facebook open up because that's what it is. It's a life log. You know, they said, we're going to have total information awareness and we're going to have this program. It's going to be life log. Everything that you do is going to be tracked.
Starting point is 01:49:41 Well, they shut that down and then Facebook opens up. And not only do they have all the data there, but you put it there for them. They don't even have to go to the trouble of collecting it. They just scrape it off of there. And so how do they scrape it off? They've got so much information that they have saved on all of us. They've taken all this information. They've saved it on their systems to be data mined,
Starting point is 01:50:02 and now the engine to data mine all that stuff is coming along. So, you know, Gerald may be right about all this stuff in the sense that the governments are going to pay big money just for that app, that application. And they'll be able to use it to move a police state there. That's why you need to get out of these control structures that are being set up through the internet. All of it is about surveillance and control. You need to start thinking about the internet as a smart city. And so,
Starting point is 01:50:34 you know, get outside of that. David Knight dot gold again is one of the best things that you can do. Don't get caught up into their virtual world of investment, you know, banking on the banking on AI. Because I saw all this stuff happen in 1999 and 2000. It was clear that they had the, you know, and I personally, I lost a lot of money on that.
Starting point is 01:50:58 Because I looked at it and it's like, okay, so there's a big gold rush coming on the internet because now the switching stuff is up to speed. And so it's reasonable to invest in the internet, but am I going to put money into a pets.com or some other startup? You know, the only one that made it was Amazon. If you'd bet on Amazon, that was, that was huge. I should have listened to the advice. And there was an Apple developers conference that I went to because I was a certified developer for Apple. And the guy was there and all he wanted, the Apple guy, all he wanted to talk about was what a great investment Amazon was. Well, he was right about that. But I didn't want to invest in any of those companies. I thought, well, you look at the gold rush in California, who got rich? The people who were selling the
Starting point is 01:51:44 tools, not the people who went out looking for the gold rush in California, who got rich, the people who are selling the tools, not the people went out looking for the gold mine, but that all crashed. You know, all the tech stocks crashed, Intel crashed, everything crashed in 2000. So that doesn't mean that just because the AI stuff is going to be used just because the government's going to spend a lot of money, it doesn't mean that it's going to continue to escalate. So again, at this stage of my life, I'm a lot more conservative and I want to have something that's real and I want to have something that is going to exist outside of this virtual world that they're creating to control us. And CBDC is a big part of that.
Starting point is 01:52:15 The IDs are a big part of that. Nikki Haley, people like that are a big part of it. But of course, so is Altman AI, as well as WorldCoin, WorldID. He's working actively to raise billions from some of the world's largest investors. He's gone to Saudi Arabia's public investment fund. I mean the government investment fund. SoftBank Group and other things like that. ZeroH says, is this why the OpenAI board fired him?
Starting point is 01:52:42 Because he's working on AI-focused hardware device that he wants to develop in tandem with the former Apple design chief, Johnny Ive. This is a guy who was there, um, when, uh, Steve Jobs was there, uh, very effective in terms of his design. I thought he was working on the appearance of the stuff, but maybe he was working on some of the architecture as well. I don't know. Altman's pitch was for a startup that would aim to build what they call tensor processing units, TPUs, designed to handle high-volume specialized AI workloads. The goal is to provide lower-cost competition to the market leader, NVIDIA.
Starting point is 01:53:23 Custom-designed chips like TPUs are seen as one day having the potential to outperform the AI accelerators made by NVIDIA, which are coveted by artificial intelligence companies, but the timeline for development is long and complex. These things are like $10,000, these graphic cards each. So, again, don't lose sight of the fact that this is all a virtual reality trap of surveillance control for totalitarian government. We can say definitely that the board's decision was not made in response to malfeasance or anything related to our financial business, safety, or security privacy practices. So, yeah, it was a breakdown in communications between Sam and the board. What we have here is failure to communicate.
Starting point is 01:54:18 That's why he lost his job, right? Did the board get its nose bent out of shape by the lack of input of Altman's strategy? Because who would not want to hear what a deep state censorship czar-esque thought? Because that's one of the other people on the board. And so they're trying to read the tea leaves here,
Starting point is 01:54:35 but it just shows you how AI has become this outsized thing in terms of our economy, even. Somebody put up a meme, uh, JP Morgan, Microsoft slash open AI.
Starting point is 01:54:51 And then they put a control alt man delete. So he's, he's the, uh, intersection between Microsoft and, uh, open AI. Uh,
Starting point is 01:55:03 so anyway, alt control, alt man delete. How is everybody else doing with all this stuff, right? We've pumped up the stock market. That is all that really seems to matter. That's all that really mattered to Trump, right? Seems to be the only thing that really matters to Biden.
Starting point is 01:55:19 And of course, that is doing great on the hopium of artificial intelligence and um and yet you know the artificial inflation of the stock market is one thing but there's actually real inflation we look at real inflation it is at about 18 percent on average much worse on many things rent has gone up the three years that biden been in, it's gone up by 20%. A new car, uh, average price of a new car has gone up by 17%. Uh, gasoline has gone up by 56% because Biden wants to make that very scarce and rare and uncomfortable to be able to pay for that. He's even said that.
Starting point is 01:56:00 And so, uh, even though these people are saying, well, the consumer price index in October, uh, went up less than expected 3.2%, they said it went up 3.1%. And of course, they're cooking the books just like they did with the COVID stuff. But the reality is, is that things on overall have gone up 18% since Biden took office, regardless of what happened in the last month. And of course, they revised these figures on a monthly basis to their advantage, to show a trend that is in the direction they want. Eggs are up 47% since Biden took office. Coffee is up 28%.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Staples overall were up 33%. White bread was up by 400% from 50 cents to $2 a loaf and increases of about 22% for bacon, sirloin, and chicken. But Biden has got an inflation reduction package together. And how does he do that? Well, with the modern monetary theory, what that means is that he gives money away without any limitations to his friends. And then if inflation starts to kick in, what he does is he taxes his enemies and he taxes his enemies and he squeezes them with an IRS army. That's what the inflation reduction act is all about. Uh, we'll have to see what the Republicans are going to do about this, but this is the pocketbook issues.
Starting point is 01:57:27 And understand that when you come up to the election, I think the elections are rigged, but certainly you can look at public opinion. The pocketbook issues did not win it for the GDP, for the GOP. You can spell it GDP, but you didn't get a red wave. And I don't think you're going to get a red wave this time if you got trump there you might just wave it bye-bye because the independents are not signing up for that and i think there's a long way to the election uh about that um uh also on rumble thank you very much for the tip. And I don't see a name there.
Starting point is 01:58:06 If I be lifted up was a common phrase in Rome. It was known to be identified with crucifixion. Jesus said he'd be lifted up. I will drag men to me. That's right. That's really what the draw means. It really means drag. The name was m'keept, said that.
Starting point is 01:58:21 Well, thank you very much for the tip. Thank you very much for the thought. We're going to take a quick break. And Eric Peters is ready to join us with EP Autos. We're going to talk about all things transportation. I'm going to get his comments on some really strange things that I've seen happening in the UK. Very Orwellian things. But we'll begin with some of the stuff that Eric has been writing about on his site.
Starting point is 01:58:47 EricPetersAutos.com. We'll be right back after this break. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Looking for better information? APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Eric Peters of EricPetersautos.com or epautos.com. And it's always great to have Eric on.
Starting point is 02:00:08 I wanted to get him on before the traveling begins on the holidays. And earlier today, well, thank you for joining us, Eric. Appreciate you coming on. Thank you. Oh, thank you, David. And let's enjoy our travel while we can still travel. That's right. Yeah, earlier today, I talked about, I got some articles from just before Thanksgiving in 2020, NPR and all these
Starting point is 02:00:27 other people trying to scare everybody to death. Don't go see grandma, you'll die and all the rest of this stuff. And make sure if you rent a car that you wipe everything down. The fear and the paranoia, we must not forget that. You know, we must not forget how they scared people to death so they can't do it again. not only must we not forget i think we also shouldn't forget they've got they've yet to apologize for any of that that's right to acknowledge that uh you know assuming good intentions that they were bamboozled and fooled and to acknowledge that and to say gosh you know we're really sorry that we uh that we involve ourselves in this and that we helped to enable this and this must never happen again. And until they,
Starting point is 02:01:06 until they apologize, I'm not going to forgive them for it. That's right. Well, you know, it's always been a rule of thumb for the government that they would make two mistakes rather than admit to one. Right.
Starting point is 02:01:16 But I don't think this is a mistake. I think it was malicious. And you know, I think that they really do want to take everything from us so that we own nothing and we go nowhere and we have no life. I really do think that they all signed on to that World Economic Forum agenda. And without two months into the so-called pandemic, you know, at that point, you know, initially, I would be willing to cut them a little bit of slack because this thing just sort of happened out of nowhere. And, yeah, OK, maybe we should err on the side of caution.
Starting point is 02:01:45 But within a couple of months, it was apparent, clear, factual, that this thing was being hyped, it was being exaggerated, and that there were malicious lies. You know, you and I have talked repeatedly in the past about the way they endlessly, hourly talked about the cases, the cases not explaining to people that there's a big difference between a so-called case, i.e. a positive test, and somebody admitted to a hospital, let alone somebody who actually died. But they wanted to conflate those two things to convey the impression that every day thousands of people were essentially dying from this sickness, which was a blatant lie.
Starting point is 02:02:17 And they knew it was a lie. So it begs the question, why did they lie? And as you say, they did it because they're malicious. That's right. Yeah. Kerry Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR thing, said you can find anything if you magnify it enough. And, of course, they were magnifying it by 1.1 trillion times with a number of cycles. You know, right now we're seeing the same kind of thing manifest with increase in the fraction of the percent of the Earth's atmosphere that is CO2, which is 0.04% roughly.
Starting point is 02:02:50 That somehow this tiny, tiny constituent background nonreactive gas, if there's a slight fractional increase in that amount, let alone whether that's caused by motor vehicles, somehow that's going to cause a catastrophic climate crisis. And it's absurd as trying to pathologize a virus that didn't kill 99.8% of the otherwise healthy non-elderly population. Yeah, that's right. As a matter of fact, I saw this coming because I've been fighting with them over the climate thing. And they were covering up their data and lying about it. We got their emails. But, of course, I came up with this t-shirt here, MacGuffin. I'll just plug this shamelessly here. Because I talk about Hitchcock and the MacGuffin.
Starting point is 02:03:30 You know, he says it doesn't really matter what the MacGuffin is. It's what everybody is chasing, right? It's just whatever motivates people. And so we've seen, you know, global freezing, global warming. We've seen a pandemic. All these things are to motivate people.
Starting point is 02:03:42 It doesn't really matter. And so, you know, we created this T-shirt so people can wear that. And people say, what's a MacGuffin? It's well done. The common denominator here is fear. Yeah. You know, they have weaponized fear. Of course, that's something that governments have specialized in from time immemorial.
Starting point is 02:03:57 Get people scared. And as Mencken put it, they will be clamorous to be led to safety. And that's ultimately what this is all about. Even if safety means their enslavementament and they're impoverished. That's right. But it was so important, wasn't it? That really, cars really were our lifeline in 2020. Because otherwise they would have really had us in their little 15 minute city or less, right?
Starting point is 02:04:18 They would have had us locked in our living rooms if it hadn't been for the cars. And even then on Thanksgiving, they were trying to scare people away from using the cars because that was a lifeline. They want to get rid of cars because in that way they can control wherever you go with the planes, trains and buses that are left or, you know, if you don't have a private automobile and if it's you have to rent the automobile by the ride, they got you there, too. You know, so it's about making us dependent and having us under complete control. That's what getting rid of cars is ultimately going to mean. Sure. It's so much easier to lock down the populace when you don't even have to literally lock them down. You can just sort of throw a switch and prevent their vehicle from being operational.
Starting point is 02:04:54 And at that point, they're effectively locked down, you know. And it isn't even necessary to do it for the car, per se. What they want is a centrally managed form of power that that is entirely under their control so they can meter the electricity they can turn it off they can turn it on so even if you could control the car what uses it to you if they control the electricity that's right yeah and talk about that you know with thomas massey put this thing together trying to stop this kill switch thing and he couldn't even get support amongst the gop for that what does that tell us uh well you know i think it's because they succeeded in
Starting point is 02:05:25 framing it. And it was brilliant. Again, I have to give these authoritarian leftists credit for the way they frame things. They put it in terms of an impaired driving switch technology. In other words, they conveyed the idea that this is about preventing people who are drunk or otherwise impaired, whether by alcohol or drugs from driving vehicles and it's very difficult for anybody to oppose that because after all you're are you are you for drunk driving you know that's you know when was the last time you beat your wife it's the same it's the same kind of an argument of course massey took the time to deconstruct it and pointed out that the actual language in the government decree talks about driver performance,
Starting point is 02:06:06 which is a very different thing from impairment. You know, what they want to do is to characterize your driving if it's outside of the parameters that the government decides are acceptable. That's got nothing to do with whether you're drunk or high or whatever it is. Simply, if the government decides that the way you drive is outside of the parameters that the government likes that will constitute effectively impairment and then that will be the pretext for controlling your driving but basically in effect the car will pull itself over you don't need cops anymore yeah the car will simply stop working and you know i also point out to people this isn't something that's coming in 2026 it's already here it's been here for a number of years. Practically every new car that's available right now has one degree or another of the foundational technology that is going to comprise the whole system when this thing is fully enabled, already embedded in it. And it's just a matter of turning it all on.
Starting point is 02:06:59 Yeah, that's right. And you go back and you look at it. You know, we've talked many times about how with surveillance and control, they can automatically issue you a ticket. They can automatically increase your insurance rates and everything because, hey, you stopped too quickly or you took that turn too quickly or this or that. You know, not even about the speed, but they can micromanage everything about the way that you're driving. And it's like, well, I don't like the way you did that or this. And so I'm going to give you a ticket. I'm going to raise your insurance rates.
Starting point is 02:07:24 Now they can just cut the thing off did that or this. And so I'm going to give you a ticket. I'm going to raise your insurance rates. And now they can just cut the thing off. Right? Yep. Yeah. The idea is to make driving as unpleasant as possible in addition to making it impossible to drive so that you just won't want to, and people think that this is exaggerated, talk to a guy who drives commercial, talk to anybody who drives a big rig.
Starting point is 02:07:41 These guys are micromanaged to the nth degree. If you've ever wondered why, when you're out on the interstate and there's a semi in the left lane and there's a semi in the right lane and the guy in the left lane is kind of just barely creeping by the guy in the right lane, who's maybe doing 57 miles an hour. And the other semi is going maybe 62 miles an hour, trying to get around him. The reason is because if he goes any faster, he's going to lose his job. So he has to drive within these parameters, you know, and that's it. And they've already beta tested it with commercial drivers and they're going to do it to us. They've already embedded this stuff in the car. So I've written a couple of articles about,
Starting point is 02:08:13 for example, what they call advanced driver assistance technology. And I love how they always call it assistance and assistance is synonymous with control. It's about controlling you. It's not about assisting you. I don't need assistance to know what the speed limit is or how fast I'm driving, but what the system does, advanced speed limit assistance technology, is that it correlates the speed that you're driving with the posted speed limit on the road,
Starting point is 02:08:37 and the car knows that you're driving faster than the speed limit. And then a little icon flashes in the dashboard for now, just saying, oh, look, you're speeding. But in Europe, it pushes back on the throttle on the gas pedal to prevent you from speeding. Now, you can still kind of push through that, meaning if you push harder on the gas, it'll override it. But the implicit point is that they have the ability to literally throttle your vehicle to prevent you from driving any faster than whatever the speed limit is on any road that you happen to be driving on in real time and that's just one aspect of this technology that's right and when you talk
Starting point is 02:09:10 about them putting it on in terms of selling it like an impaired driver that was the way that they were selling is this the same device they were selling before saying we're going to mandate that everybody get a breathalyzer or something like that in order to start is that a part of it is it extended beyond that or they have they changed it's definitely a component of it though it's not merely that they want to have some sort of passive alcohol detection technology in the car meaning that you know your hand let's say uh touches the gear selector and that it has the capacity to to sample your skin and somehow determine whether you've been drinking as a result of that if that's merely a facet of it and it's the way that they're marketing and presenting it.
Starting point is 02:09:47 And an aspect of it that I think is very critical to examine and to understand is that it was once the case in this country that you had to have been convicted of something before you got punished for it. Exactly, yeah, that's where I was going. You know, like if you were pulled over because you were weaving all over the road and you had your day in court
Starting point is 02:10:01 and you were convicted of drunk driving, one of the things that typically would result from that, if allowed you to drive again would be that you would have to have your car fitted with an interlock system a breath interlock system that required the convicted drunk driver to show that he wasn't drunk before he could drive the car well now we're all to be presumed impaired and drunk drivers without anybody having been convicted of anything just the same and it's all of a piece that we're now all presumptive terrorists if we wish to fly commercially yeah yeah well that's that's the way the regulatory state works i mean we have um uh regulation without representation we have taxation without representation and of course uh their rules they say you don't have
Starting point is 02:10:39 any due process you don't have any presumption of innocence it's always about that you know prove that you don't owe me taxes prove this and prove that and so that's what it's going to be about and and of course we've also eric had a civil asset forfeiture where they could confiscate your car confiscate your home confiscate your cash without even charging you with a crime let alone finding you guilty and so yeah this is this is where they operate i just look at it from a practical standpoint if they're going to start monitoring people for being drunk and driving, I'm just wondering if you're going to get a false reading because the alcohol in somebody's perfume, if they put it on a bit heavy,
Starting point is 02:11:12 because there's a lot of alcohol in perfume. It's entirely possible. The scenario that I see unfolding, we use the word kill switch. I think it could potentially be the kill switch for the car industry. The more people figure this out understand uh what's happening would you want to spend 40 or 50 000 on a car that effectively is under the control of someone else some corporate entity that's spying on you constantly that the government could shut off at any time probably not and of course i guess that's kind of what they want but you know the car industry has got to i you know i wish they'd
Starting point is 02:11:44 riddle it out reason it out and think to themselves, gee, you know, our products are becoming increasingly unpopular. People aren't going to want to buy them. How are we going to continue to make money? It seems like we haven't made that connection yet. Yeah, yeah. They need to start lobbying in favor of freedom as, you know, the gun industry does. But, you know, when we look at how this is moving and how they don't want us to have any choice in all this, you've got an article that's not about saving you money. Talk about that.
Starting point is 02:12:10 The fact that you have a very good example about Toyota Camrys, the, you know, the non-electric version and then the hybrid version. Talk a little bit about that, what the government is forcing. Let's set the stage you know the regulatory apparatus will say that it's going to issue some new mandate as for example the corporate average fuel economy requirement uh in order to compel the automakers to produce more fuel efficient cars and implicit in that is that there aren't fuel efficient cars already available which of course is a demonstrable lie what they're trying to do is essentially force engine cars off the market in favor of battery-powered cars that's the real purpose of Cafe um what they've done with regards
Starting point is 02:12:51 to this particular case you know Camry is I think the best-selling family's card on the market Toyota sells something like 300 000 of these things every year and it's currently the last car of its type that you can still get with a V6 engine. They used to be common. You used to be able to get them in Honda Accords, Hyundai Sonatas, practically any kind of a car. Well, the V6 engine is becoming kind of like a V12 engine was 20 years ago. In other words, it's an exotic power plant for the ultra-affluent. I mean, even 50,000 Mercedes and BMWs no longer come with a six-cylinder engine standard.
Starting point is 02:13:22 You have to pay extra to get it. They typically come with a little 2.0 liter four cylinder engine and the reason for that is there's simply no way uh for a v6 to average close to 50 miles per gallon which is what the the latest round of cafe mandates requires and they go into effect in 2026. so it's so extreme that not only did toyota have to take the v6 out of the lineup uh it's no longer even just a four-cylinder engine. It's a four-cylinder hybrid engine. That's going to be the standard power plant going forward. And, you know, on the one hand, the government says, well, isn't this wonderful? This thing is going to get close to 50 miles per gallon and see how much money we save you.
Starting point is 02:13:56 But they don't tell you that the thing is going to cost you $5,000 or $6,000 more to buy relative to an equivalent Camry without the hybrid technology. How long are you going to have to drive it to earn back that $5,000 or $6,000? Leaving aside, okay, you've also lost the opportunity cost of that money that you had to spend up front on the car. And it also assumes you can afford, your budget is such that you can just expand your budget to afford to finance a car that's now $35,000 rather than $27,000 or $28,000. There's an incredible arrogance there. And, you know, the hybrid Camry is already available for those who want the higher efficient model and are willing to pay a little extra money to get that,
Starting point is 02:14:37 but that's never good enough for the government. For the government, good enough is something that we never get to, because if we did get to it, then the government would have to say, okay, mission accomplished. We don't need to continue to regulate you. And that we never get to because if we did get to it then the government would have to say okay mission accomplished we don't need to continue to regulate you and that will never happen just like with the the zero covet stuff you know if even one person has the sniffles we still have to have all these policies in force that's right yeah that's a great point that you made too and you made that in the article the fact that look we've already got a toyota hybrid as well as a six-cylinder engine and um you know people have a choice already it's not like you're you this doesn't exist it exists uh the the government doesn't like consumers having a choice they're not pro-choice
Starting point is 02:15:16 and you know when we go back and we talked about this for years as well what they're going to do with the evs and and electric vehicles and they're already talking about it. You know, their kill switch is to basically set up a way that they can suck the juice out of the car battery that you put in there when they need it for their grid. So they're going to use these EVs as a backup for their grid, and that's really going to be a kill switch for the EVs, and you get to pay extra to get an electric vehicle so they can use it as the battery for the EVs and you get to pay extra to get an electric vehicle so they can use it as the battery for the grid. You talk about the power plant, you know, the six cylinder power plant, but they're putting emission regulations on grid, electrical grid power plants as well. And this is new. This is something that's just happened this year. So when we look at this,
Starting point is 02:15:58 they're absolutely shutting everything down. And that is the plan. That's what Biden is doing. It's not just zero emissions, it's zero mobility, zero that you own, zero food, everything. They want to zero it out because they want to zero out the population and they want to zero out our freedom. It's kind of interesting too. I came across a couple of articles. I want to get your comments on this. I've seen the, um, and in the UK they've had the national health system has decided that they're going to spend, uh, 65 million pounds in order to make electric emergency vehicles. Yeah, exactly. Good luck with that. Uh, well we'll be there in a couple of hours when we get this thing charged. They already tried this in New York.
Starting point is 02:16:51 New York decided they were going to do electric snow plows. And then they ran into what you've talked about and other people talked about in the cold weather. The batteries don't last too long when they're doing really heavy work. They don't last too long. And since they need to have these snow plows do like 12-hour shifts, These things could at best get like two hours out of it, but that was putting a happy face on it. It's pretty amazing to see this insanity. And they're running up against some very real world opposition, whether or not people are going to oppose them.
Starting point is 02:17:17 The laws of nature are going to oppose these regulatory fiats, aren't they? Yeah, well, the truth is going to oppose them. They've managed to get as far as they have with regard to electric vehicles because most people don't understand the electric vehicle and you know the limitations of the electric vehicle and of electricity as a portable storage power source and what it takes to make that work in a vehicle in the setting of a motor vehicle but the truth about that is getting out there and as a result of the truth getting out there there's beginning to be opposition to it it It's no longer like, well, you know, this is a one-for-one swap and, hey, it'll be fine. It's good for the climate, whatever. I'll be able to continue as before. I'll have a
Starting point is 02:17:53 vehicle that functions essentially as before. It just happens to be electric. People are beginning to realize, no, you're actually, you're going to have to accept a great diminishment in terms of your flexibility, your mobility, as well as what it's going to cost you and as a result of that uh this whole EV juggernaut is running up against a great uh a great bit of what you might call hesitancy in terms of people buying them uh the things are being built because the manufacturers are under the pressure of the mandates to produce them but it doesn't mean people have to buy them yet you know nobody's got a bayonet in their back telling them they have to go buy an ev and this is this is
Starting point is 02:18:31 setting up a dynamic where i think what's going to happen next is that the government is going to start doing whatever it has to do to eliminate the alternatives to the electric vehicle uh they're going to they're already pushing non-electric vehicles essentially off the market in terms of new vehicles. But then they're going to go after the ones that we already have. They're going to try to figure out ways to make them inconvenient, if not illegal to use. It's entirely possible that they could do things like pass a mandate requiring that gas pumps operate more slowly, for example, so that it takes you 20 minutes to put five gallons of gas in your car so that there's sort of a parity there between your non-electric car and the electric car that has to sit there tethered to that pump, the charge pump, for 20 minutes to get a partial charge. Or they could just use environmental regulations to say, we can't have these gas stations everywhere.
Starting point is 02:19:20 We're going to close them down. I think that'll be it. I think that's very likely, you know, because you look at all the paranoia about it, and of course, you know, some of the old gas stations, they do have to dig them up and repair the underground tanks and things like that from time to time. But look at the paranoia that they've had.
Starting point is 02:19:35 You know, those little sleeve that they put around the nozzle when you pump the gas. Yeah, to keep the gas from getting out of the, because we're all going to die if that happens. Right. And, you know, they could do something ham-fisted like, you know, impose really heavy taxes in the name of stopping climate change on gas. You know, if gas gets to be $10 or $15 a gallon, all of a sudden an electric car looks more attractive. And I think that they are going to have to do this because their goal of getting, and what is it? I think it's at least 50, if not 70% of the cars fully
Starting point is 02:20:10 electric by 2030, I think is the goal. That's not going to happen. We're all, you know, we're not that far away. It's almost 2024. So six years from now, they think that more than half and perhaps two thirds of the cars on the road are going to be electric. It's simply not going to happen. Certainly not unless they can figure out a way to get two thirds of the cars that are already in circulation out of circulation. Yeah. Yeah. Well, when you look at making the gas more expensive and artificially inflating, and Biden's been working at that very hard from day one, you know,
Starting point is 02:20:38 shutting down resources to get stuff there, but also, you know, the sanctions that he's done. And when you look at the price of gasoline, uh, just before you came on, I was talking about how prices have gone up in the three years of Biden on average, about 18% across the board, some things more than others, but the thing that went up the most was gasoline prices up by 56%. So it's about triple, uh, what, uh, the average is for everything else. And that's by design. That's not an accident.
Starting point is 02:21:06 That's not, you know, that's deliberate action by Biden to make that happen. But, David, we're supposed to be really grateful that the gas is down at, what is it, 15 cents or a little less? Yeah. It really is remarkable. People's memory is so short. You know, three years ago, four years ago, gas was what about $2 a gallon, something like that. And now we're supposed to be happy that it's only $3 and 20 or $3 and 40
Starting point is 02:21:34 cents. I put $40 worth of gas in my old muscle car the other day. And that was enough to put half a tank into it. $40. Wow. 80 bucks to fill the thing up. Wow. Wow. I saw you doing the uh peel out with that you enjoy that i remember the day i remember the day when i was in high school i went through uh too many tires doing that i finally learned my lesson but now it's not just the tires it's the gasoline that you when you do the burnout you're burning cash um in two different ways so it reminds me of a great movie braveheart you remember Do you remember there's a scene where they're having the funeral
Starting point is 02:22:06 and the older guy says to the little boy, they're playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes. Remember that? Yeah. And I feel that way when I lay rubber in my old muscle car. Yeah, those are soon going to be outlawed pipes, just like they're outlawing the people rolling coal and things. Did you see that they're coming outing the uh the people rolling coal and things you know did you
Starting point is 02:22:25 see that they're coming out what was it i think it was ebay uh they wanted to hit them with uh massive fines for each and every one of those things that were sold on ebay you know for people to put on their truck so they can roll coal coal you know i mean it's it's a phenomenal amount and and nothing is too far or too absurd for these people, everybody lays down and dies whenever they say it's to save the climate or the environment. And you're talking about cherry picking the inflation numbers. I've seen this from all the way through. That's what ClimateGate was always about.
Starting point is 02:22:55 ClimateGate was about cherry picking your starting points so that you can get the trend that you want. And, you know, because they go back, if you look at the Arctic cores and things like that and really have a legitimate starting point, you can see that the industrial revolution is not affecting the climate in any way whatsoever. So they cherry pick it to try to get the data that they want. But, you know, when you're talking about how they are manipulating this for a particular technology, I think it's interesting that in the UK, they're going to have some Paralympic games.
Starting point is 02:23:26 And Toyota is going to make 3,000 vehicles available for these Paralympic games that are all going to be zero emission. 500 of them, one-sixth of them, are going to be their hydrogen fuel cell EVs, right? So you could have, when you talk about, and I think this is an interesting thing because it has a lot of parallels to the pandemic MacGuffin. The climate MacGuffin is the same way in the sense that not only can you not see the data, not only are they playing games with it and all the rest of this stuff and creating a false fear campaign.
Starting point is 02:23:59 But it's also that only after they create the fear campaign, there's only one approach that's going to be allowed. And so when you look at this hydrogen versus battery electric vehicle thing, I think that's very telling because, you know, we know we don't have time. We've got to race to this solution or we're all going to die. And you can't have the hydrogen fuel cell. You've got to have the battery fuel cell. Of course, we know what that's about. It's about creating dependence on the grid.
Starting point is 02:24:24 Well, the other shoe that's going to drop is that for now, they allow the pretense to stand that these things are zero emissions vehicles, which of course, they're not. Everything has emissions to one degree or another, particularly during a defined carbon dioxide and non-reactive gas as an emission. They're holding that back for now because it's useful to them for now to have the stalking horse of the EV as the vehicle for getting rid of other vehicles. But I assure you, I will make a prediction that if this thing proceeds and there's nothing available but electric vehicles by 2030, then all of a sudden they're going to find that there are emissions with those things too and then they're going to start regulating shutting those things down too so that again almost nobody except the extremely at the very apex of the pyramid are permitted to have personal vehicles the key to fighting this is to understand that these people's motives are not malicious and to not engage them on their terms uh everything that they bring out whether it's the pandemic whether it's this climate stuff it's malicious and disingenuous and you're going to get absolutely nowhere debating them on their terms you have to attack them at the core of this issue which is about they are using these things as as excuses
Starting point is 02:25:35 as justifications to tyrannize people to impoverish people to to increase their control over the population and that's it that's the bottom line you know just it's to shut people up just like if you have anything to say about if you raise an objection about the policies of the israeli government for example i'm going to touch the third rail right here that makes you anti-semitic and oh now you have to cringe because you don't want to be a nazi do you you don't want to be anti-semitic you can't do that you know that's that's what they want or you know if you if you raise your hand and say you know i think it's kind of not right to deny people admission, even to consider them for admission to college on account of their race. Well, that means you're a racist, obviously, and you're a member of the Klan. And a lot of people will cringe and, oh, I can't say that publicly. Stop it. Enough. We have to say it.
Starting point is 02:26:19 You know, you know in your heart you're not a racist. You're not an anti-Semite. You're not in favor of pouring oil into the gutter. Don't let them put that mantle over your shoulders that you're somehow a bad person for questioning them. We have got to start questioning them and demanding answers. And I think a key part of that, you know, again, we get back to the MacGuffin, you know, and a key part of that is to, it makes me cringe when I see people coming out and saying, yeah, but this would actually be more effective in terms of cutting down CO2. It would actually have less emissions than your proposal and everything.
Starting point is 02:26:51 It's like, don't fight on their battlefield, right? The whole thing is a false construct. We've got to get to the root of the lie instead of saying, well, I think you're being a little bit too harsh and we need to have a little bit more time to comply with these things and so forth and have a debate on that area. We're going to lose that debate. If we let them set the terms, if we let them create this fantasy world about magic unicorn farts that are going to kill us all, we lose. And so you've got to point out the emperor has no clothes, and they have no foundation of this. By the way, Travis, pull up the article there of the wooden version of Tesla's Cybertruck. Now the question is, Bill Gates wants to go around and cut down trees now. After we had to pay billionaires money to plant trees whenever we committed the sin of having emissions
Starting point is 02:27:46 with some activity we would have to pay an indulgence to be able to have that emission or that energy use by having them plant trees and after they've run this scam for a long time now they want to go out and cut down trees and then bury them and so is bill gates going to want to bury this wooden tesla cyber truck well meanwhile meanwhile, how many millions of tons of carbon dioxide did the recent launch of the mega rocket produce? That's okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think it is kind of funny, though, because in a way, I've seen people criticize.
Starting point is 02:28:19 You got automotive engineers who design body styles, and they said, well, this is obviously designed by an amateur because all these panels are dead straight and flat. And that's going to be impossible to get a good fit. It's going to be really difficult to manufacture. That's why they don't have flat panels on this thing. But, you know, if you're going to do it in wood, maybe that works to have. Well, yeah, you can definitely form it more readily. You know, it's amazing with regard to the Cybert truck that they didn't learn the lesson from delorean delorean also tried to make stainless steel bodied vehicles and you know the idea was well you have a stainless steel body it
Starting point is 02:28:53 won't rust you don't have to paint it which is true the problem is stainless steel is extraordinarily difficult to form particularly in uh round type forms you know it's it's it's fine to have right angles and things like that uh but that's the problem that tesla has with the cyber truck you know it's 40 years after the delorean and this still the manufacturing process is necessary to take stainless steel and make a curved fender let's say you know and make tolerances uh what people expect in new cars you're not going to do that with stainless steel yeah oh yeah absolutely and um i think that if i remember correctly i think there was a lot of complaints at the time when the uh the delorean came out
Starting point is 02:29:31 people were complaining about how difficult it was that it showed fingerprints and all this other kind of stuff it was a real hassle to uh to try to keep this thing looking good because if you touched it you got all kinds of fingerprints left on the uh the body there it's kind of but i think that elon musk does admire uh that he did gullwing doors on one of his vehicles right so you know gullwing doors and so he's pulling back bits and pieces of it i think he uh maybe you know saw tv pictures of this thing and never really investigated the practical aspects of uh the deloreans which i like i mean we came here one year and pigeon forge they had a convention of deloreans and it was pretty cool you were telling me yeah yeah it's pretty
Starting point is 02:30:10 cool to see all these things i'd never seen one up close and personal and they were all over the place but you know i think he's looked at it from afar and and tried to incorporate aspects of it uh because everybody looks at it and thinks uh you know, what a cool, innovative thing. And so it's got that sizzle that's there, but maybe not a practical aspect to it. Well, the thing that infuriates me about it, you know, if you were just an entrepreneur like DeLorean and, you know, offering this vehicle for sale, fine. Let people who want it, let them buy it. That's fine with me. But here we have yet another one of these battery-powered atrocities for the uber-ultra-rich. This thing is a six figure vehicle. So once again, the average person is having a pie thrown in their face. You know, this is for the people who are able to afford it. And people like you
Starting point is 02:30:55 are going to be driven out of being able to drive cars by these smug, smarmy, virtue signaling elite people who prance and preen and talk about how green they are while they're driving these six-figure, overpowered, overweight, gratuitously energy consumptive electric vehicles that suck as much energy as a V8 muscle car. It's just a different form and expect you and I to subsidize it. It's as outrageous as me somehow leveraging the government to make you subsidize the purchase of my Trans Am and the gas that it burns. It's beyond insufferable. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:32 Yeah, this article is going around talking about how the 1% rich with their private jets and all the rest of the stuff are generating as much CO2 or carbon or whatever you want to call it as 66% of the rest of the population. Again, this is going back to, it's good to point out their hypocrisy by their own standard of measurement, but it's also important when we cover stories like this to point out, and oh, by the way, nobody should care about how much CO2 anybody uses.
Starting point is 02:32:00 Yeah. You know, I said years ago, this is some inside baseball. You remember when the cheating scandal broke with volkswagen over the emission certification test and their tdi engines oh yeah you and i talked about that a lot yeah i pleaded with some people that i know in the company guys you should put some money toward explaining to people what's going on here and demand that the government produce evidence of actual harm caused, not contest, oh, you cheated on the certification test, as if somehow that means somebody was harmed. So what? Who cares? That's like saying I cheated by
Starting point is 02:32:31 not buckling up for safety when I went out for a drive this morning. You know, I really think one of the keys to solving this problem is when some activist or politician or regulatory bureaucrat comes out with a proposal, demands that X, Y, or Z be done, that in the first place, it be established as fact that there is a need for this because there is a harm, actual human beings being harmed, not people's feelings being hurt, not some rule being affronted, but that there is an actual harm. And then whatever the solution is should be proportionate in cost and imposition to whatever the harm is it's insane to harm a population of 330 million people over a hypothetical that you know it was a single
Starting point is 02:33:11 human being put forward as and was there any proof adduced that even one person was harmed by volkswagen's tdi diesels and the answer is no yeah oh yeah and how many how many how many people have been harmed by denying the access to a vehicle that you could have bought for 22 000 that had a 700 mile range and got 50 miles per gallon that's that's a real harm we've been denied that all of those great volkswagen diesels are no longer available because they cheated on emission certification tests and i remember when that was happening and you and i talked about this and i said look you know we've had situations with the pentos where they they cut corners and people this and he said, look, you know, we've had situations where the Pintos or they,
Starting point is 02:33:45 they cut corners and people died and they said, well, it's going to be easier for us to pay off these people who died than it is for us to make this change. And, uh, is a clear, uh, mercenary calculation that caused people to die. And you look at, you know, that was, uh, uh, a lot of attention drawn to that, but you look at the penalty that they paid, the Ford paid for that. It was nothing compared to what they did to VW. And you look at the airbags, the Takata airbags.
Starting point is 02:34:09 We talked about that as well. And, you know, this is something that killed, you know, about a dozen people. Actually, I think about 18 or something like that now. And yet they didn't get that kind of treatment as Volkswagen did. Volkswagen supposedly, quote unquote, cheated on it. Well, you know, from one standpoint, everybody cheats on this they adjust the the shifting points on the automatic all the time yeah they just they mess up your transmission i'm sorry they tune their vehicles to meet the test and this happens time in the car industry and typically when it happens and the government
Starting point is 02:34:39 finds out about it what they might do is, you know, require that the manufacturer makes some change. They never in the past, not ever, did they arrest and frog march an executive in chains before a judge and charge them criminally. This was the first time that ever happened. And it happened for a reason. And it happened because of the timing. If you go back to 2015 or so, that was when this electric vehicle push really began to get on ahead of steam and they understood that uh the the tdi diesels that volkswagen was selling for 22 to 24 000 presented
Starting point is 02:35:13 an existential threat to this agenda it would have been extraordinarily difficult to try to tell people hey buy a 50 000 tesla with a 280 mile range that you'll have to sit at a fast charger and wait uh an hour to get a partial charge back into or you could drive this 22 000 jedi for 700 miles uh and refill the thing in five minutes and be back on i mean who's gonna nobody's gonna do that i mean for any in any meaningful way so they had to get rid of these these sensible affordable alternatives to the electric vehicle and volkswagen was the biggest offender in that regard and that's why those vehicles had to go oh yeah yeah and you look at the way that they turned them it's kind of like when i saw that happening it reminded me of what happened with bill gates who lied and cheated and stole his way into essentially a monopoly and they came after him for antitrust violations which which clearly he had violated those things. And you remember seeing him as he's being deposed, doing his deposition,
Starting point is 02:36:10 and he's rocking back and forth in his chair. And they didn't make any major issues with it. But ever since that point in time, Microsoft has been wedded, wedded to the surveillance state, to DARPA and all the rest of them. They run NewsGuard and ElectionGuard and everything. They run all that through Microsoft. Microsoft is going to be running their coalition for content provenance and authentication,
Starting point is 02:36:35 which is going to put an ID on everything that you or I do and allow them to shut it down before it even gets posted. And so, you know, they've had, they've owned Microsoft because of that. And they did the same thing with Volkswagen. They were able to put the fear of government and these guys, and now my, you know, Volkswagen is, is out there, you know, with taking the lead and all these Evie things and, you know, they dropped all the diesel stuff and then took the lead really in Evie stuff.
Starting point is 02:37:01 They know how to turn people around. It's amazing how they can do that oh they do and you know another example uh you know after the the near bankruptcy and the actual bankruptcy of ford and general motors back in 0809 uh the government came in and saved the day rescued them from bankruptcy provided lots of government money with lots of government strings and it's not accidental that after that point general motors became government motors and and did exactly what the government wants and became in in fact, indistinguishable from the government. You know, these corporations now used to be sort of a separate thing.
Starting point is 02:37:32 And here was the government. They were kind of at loggerheads sometimes and they would fight with each other. Now they're partnered with each other. They're both trying to do the same thing. And we're the targets of this effort. Yes. same thing and we're the targets of this effort yes you know i i look to see what is happening frequently in the uk because they really are a couple of steps ahead of us and we're both going down the same world economic forum agenda but they're doing it more rapidly you know they're
Starting point is 02:37:58 banning cars in many different cities they've done that they've got their ultra low emission zones they even charge uh if you've got a diesel car they hit him so much they will put a fee on you even if you park it and you're not driving it and so we see all this crazy stuff that's happening there the Daily Mail had an article that was about 24 pages long talking about all the different types of speed cameras kind of giving people a heads-up warning on it. And they've got these ultra-speed cameras are now being chopped down by vigilantes. And so these people are actually going out and sawing down the pole that this thing is on. These people, they're getting so angry about this.
Starting point is 02:38:42 And, of course, we've seen this with the ULEZ, the ultra-low emission zone things that Sadiq Khan put up. If you come into my area with a car that is not a zero emission car, we're going to charge you like $12 or $15 a day. And so you had a lot of these people going around like vigilantes taking this stuff down. Some of them got caught because they weren't even trying to hide their identity and they've got cameras everywhere. But at least, you know, they're there. At least they're fighting back. That puts me on a list, I guess, for saying that. But that's fine. That's the way I feel. At least these people are fighting back and destroying this. They take the cameras, they take a pole sometimes and they just point it at the sky, you know, and just push it up. They don't destroy it. They just reposition
Starting point is 02:39:23 it so I can't see what's on the ground. one man's vigilante is another man's freedom fighter that's right i mean what was robin hood you know they put us they put our backs to the wall they leave us essentially no choice you know hl mencken who i've admired since i was in high school said that you know point comes when you have to spit on your hands and hoist the black flag you know they're they've effectively turned us into criminals, so we might as well embrace it and just proceed accordingly. It's awful to have to say that, but it's the truth. You can't, honest, decent people can't be honest and decent anymore.
Starting point is 02:39:54 You can't function because your honesty and decency will be used against you. And don't let them make you feel bad about doing the right thing because they say it's illegal, because they're trying to use their apparatus uh to punish you for things that involve no harm to anybody these cameras are outrageous all of this stuff is outrageous and it needs to be pulled out root and branch and thrown into a bonfire it's high time yeah yeah well they pretty much did that that thing was up on a metal pole and they cut it down with a angle grinder. And then it's great. You know, they've got all the equipment and tools,
Starting point is 02:40:28 you know, they, they come out there and they, they have at it. I, you know, I sometimes make myself a cup of coffee and watch those videos to make myself feel better. That's right. They're also removing the bollards that they've set up, you know, for their 15 minute cities to prohibit you from traveling into certain zones. The people are going out and taking this stuff down. And so, you know. I'll tell you.
Starting point is 02:40:46 Yeah, go ahead. I was going to say, there's something else I think that's going to happen that's related to this. And you're probably following this as well. The way these insurance companies now are jacking up people's premiums to the point of unaffordability. You know, whether it's home insurance or car insurance or whatever it is that you're obliged to buy because of government fiat, because the government and the insurance companies are in bed together. And I think a point's going to come where people are going to say you know if my choice is to stop driving or to not eat and pay insurance i think i'm just going to stop
Starting point is 02:41:13 having insurance and drive and eat i'm going to stop paying it there's going to be mass refusal to go along with this anymore you know they're really pushing people to the point where it's no longer just well this is annoying and i don't like this. This is becoming an existential question for a lot of people. Just like with cars, if they take away your non-electric car, particularly if you live out in the country, as I do and you do, they're telling you effectively, you know, you're going to be stranded. You're not going to be able to go anywhere because you don't have an EV. And an EV isn't practical. They're not just saying you're not going to have a car. They're saying you're not going to have your house in the country or your suburbs even.
Starting point is 02:41:46 You're pushed to living in some kind of an apartment or whatever inside their 15-minute freedom cities. This is an existential threat. And I think once people begin to understand that, they're going to come to grips with their innate desire that most non-psychotic people have. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm not trying to get into a fight but if you keep on pushing me and you keep on hitting me i'm going to defend myself
Starting point is 02:42:10 yeah and where the rubber meets the road is really going to be at the local level you know and local and state government that's where we can stop this stuff we can it can become worse as we saw in 2020 or you can make it better at that level and a a good example of this, I'd like to point back to, is this pistol brace thing done. Executive order gun control, like Trump set the precedent with the bump stock, and so then Biden does it with a pistol brace. But, of course, Trump tried to do that in his administration with a pistol brace as well.
Starting point is 02:42:39 Started it in 2019 and then ended it in 2020, and then Biden immediately brought it back and but here the way they handled it here Eric in Tennessee was I talked to a Tennessee state senator and he said that senator nicely he said well we got that taken care of he said first of all we pass a law that says that if something is legal here in Tennessee they can't make it illegal at the federal level. And we're not going to help them to enforce any of this stuff. And then we said, and oh, by the way, pistol braces are legal. So even before, even while these guys are wrestling with this thing
Starting point is 02:43:13 and court challenges back and forth, and let's take it to this level of the court challenge and so forth, they'd already cut this thing off at the, you know, where the rubber meets the road at the local level, in this particular case at the state level. But you can do that kind of stuff at the local level, in this particular case at the state level. But you can do that kind of stuff at the local level as well. And so you can have sheriffs that are going to stay in the gap and not going to enforce the governor's rules about masks and things like that,
Starting point is 02:43:36 or they can get real horsey and they can be worse about it. It makes a big difference. I tell people we've got the whole political concerns upside down. We need to understand that these people in Washington are trying to destroy our lives, but the way that we can fight back is really at the local level, don't you think? Oh, I absolutely agree, and I'll preface what I'm about to say with what Groucho Marx once said about not wanting to join a club that would have him as a member. And what I mean by that is I am loathe to consider running for office, but I've actually been thinking about running locally for school board and on the motto vote for Eric and he'll leave you alone and won't take your money. do. Minimally, even if someone like myself stands little, if any, chance of actually getting elected,
Starting point is 02:44:26 by making the run, you at least get the alternative point of view out there. And it's no longer this uniparty dynamic between the red sheep and the blue sheep, and they're both in agreement on the fundamentals. Let's have something different for a change. Let's actually talk about not less taxes, but no taxes. Let's talk about leaving people alone, period. Not only leaving them alone here, but interfering with them there, because you're on this side of the political aisle and you think it's okay to interfere with people in this way, but the other side thinks it's okay to do it that way. Let's get away from that. Let's get back to just voluntarism. And if somebody's not causing harm to anybody,
Starting point is 02:45:04 leave them be yeah you know this is this is ultimately the long-term goal and if i have to run for school board i'll do it that's my contribution if i you know such as it is well yeah and you might be able to actually participate they might have still have debates there you know when you look at what is happening with the debates and i was involved with third parties and tried to you know we had ballot access for the lp that we would get on you know in north carolina but even after all this you know um it's like sisyphus you know rolling the rock up the hill every every two to four years but even after you get on the ballot they would find some way to keep you out of the debate they didn't want to have the debate and and now we see this happening uh with trump we see it happening with biden they don't want to debate anybody it's pretty obvious why trump and b They didn't want to have the debate. And now we see this happening with Trump.
Starting point is 02:45:48 We see it happening with Biden. They don't want to debate anybody. It's pretty obvious why Trump and Biden don't want to debate anybody because it's not, they don't want to make any of this stuff about any issues. It's got to be about them personally. And, you know, so, you know, my, the other guy, you hate that other guy, don't you? Well, you don't hate me as much as you hate him. But let's not talk about the issues because really on the existential issues, there isn't any difference between them. So why have a debate about that when that would just show that they're on the same page? Absolutely. Exactly. And I think we can have a great deal of impact and influence at the local level. We take back our communities. And if we take back our communities, we take back our states and we can take back our country in time. You know, the authoritarianism, the authoritarians didn't succeed overnight.
Starting point is 02:46:27 It took them generations to make the gains that they made. And it may take us that amount of time to make them back. I agree. And we have to understand. And the reason that we talk about what is happening globally, why we talk about what is happening in Washington, isn't because we can do anything about it. We can't.
Starting point is 02:46:43 As a matter of fact, I had the guy who wrote the book, the Tuttle Twins series, and he's out of Utah. And he said he helped to, he was in politics, and he helped to get Mike Lee elected. He says, I don't criticize him for what he's done or hasn't done because you really can't get much done even as a senator. And he said, I found that we've spent all of our effort trying to fix things in
Starting point is 02:47:05 Washington where we have the least amount of impact and leverage. And then we focus on the presidency where we have absolutely zero impact on that. But he said he started getting involved in state politics and he was able to get a whole bunch of different laws passed that were going to make things freer for people in Utah. So that's why, you know, when we look at that, it's important to keep that in mind and understand, as the liberals have always said, all my life, you know, Tip O'Neill and other Democrats said, all politics is local.
Starting point is 02:47:34 That's where it really happens. And you would hear the people pushing for world government would always say, think globally, act locally. All the Greenies and all the rest of the commies would all do this. And that's what we need. We need to understand what their global agenda is.
Starting point is 02:47:50 We need to understand the directions that they're coming after us, what the end game is with all this stuff. And then we need to fight them locally. That's where we've got to fight them locally, each and every one of these agendas. We can even fight them at a lower level. And it's not exactly the right word. Excuse me.
Starting point is 02:48:07 I've had too much coffee this morning. But at the family level, I had a discussion earlier today with a friend of mine who was telling me about he's training his daughter how to drive, helping her learn how to drive. And he encouraged her to use her eyes and her brain rather than be a mindless automaton that just follows the rules. So at a red light, if it's safe to go, it's okay to go. And if the law says don't go, it's still safe to go with the law. In fact, it's safer because if you become a rule following automaton, you might decide,
Starting point is 02:48:36 well, the light's green. I can go as opposed to looking to see whether somebody's about to run that light and run right. Use your brain, learn to think, you know, it's empowering. And the more people that are, that are, uh are taught to think, the more empowered they become, the less fearful they become. This is really important. You know, these authoritarians depend on fear. They, you know, they want you to think that I, oh my gosh, I have to wait to be told what to do by somebody who knows what to do by an authority figure, as opposed to, you know, let's evaluate the facts. Look at what's going on. What's the situation? And let's decide what the right and prudent course of action is on our own.
Starting point is 02:49:12 Use our own judgment. We do that and we find that we have less and less need for these authoritarian, know-it-all busybodies. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. It's interesting, you know, to go to foreign countries, especially third world countries, but even, you know, some places like France where you look at roundabouts and they don't have lanes defined. And you look at the Arch of Triumph and everything, and all these people are zipping around there and there's no lanes.
Starting point is 02:49:36 Everybody's going to be on the lookout for what they're going to do. And if you go back and you look at old videos of, let's say, the 1940s or something like that in L.A., and there's no lanes anywhere. Everybody's just kind of doing their own thing, kind of like it still is in France in some places and other things like that. We have these little lanes and lines and lights that are set up and signs that are set up. And we think that if we follow this precisely that we're going to be safe when in reality we're not. You know, if you didn't have these, my dad got Tboned and uh would have been seriously injured except he didn't have his seat belt on it's a bench seat cadillac and it totaled the cadillac came in on the driver's side knocked him across the car fortunately he wasn't trapped in there but um you know it was
Starting point is 02:50:19 somebody who ran a stop sign at a high speed and um you know some back roads and everything well imagine if you didn't have stop signs anywhere. And every time you saw an intersection there, you would like, you know, be on the lookout for somebody that's coming your way instead of thinking I've got the right of way, you know? There's a facet of this too that relates, and that is the insipidity of it. You know, they use these terms like assistance that we were talking about earlier, and that's insulting.
Starting point is 02:50:43 You know, I don't need assistance.'m competent i can handle things it's as if you're somebody who's perfectly capable of walking and they present you with a a walker or a wheelchair because you're in need of assistance as opposed to being an able-bodied person who can walk you know i'm a person who's perfectly competent to drive a vehicle i don't need steering assist i don't need brake assist and all these other forms of assistance. Stop trying to parent me. Stop treating me as if I'm an idiot. I can deal with these things on my own.
Starting point is 02:51:11 Yeah. Yeah. When we look at what is happening to, you know, there's the deliberate neglect of our real infrastructure. An example of this, I don't know what the figure is here in the United States, but they said in the UK, 451 people have been seriously injured or killed by incidents involving potholes in just a period from 2018 to 2022. Because they don't fix these things, right? I mean, you see videos, even Arnold Schwarzenegger, who I can't stand any of his politics. You know, he's going out there virtue signaling because it's like, okay, I've had enough of this. We're going to fix the pothole ourselves.
Starting point is 02:51:47 And, you know, you see these vigilante pothole fixers from time to time. It kind of reminds me of Brazil where, you know, Robert De Niro is the guy going out and fixing the air conditioning things because nobody can get the government. There's got a monopoly to actually do it. And so people go out there and fix this stuff. And the government will get very upset in places like California if you go out and you patch the road yourself. You know, and there's something about that that we should talk about. These electric vehicles, because of their weight, that pop-up problem even worse. A typical EV weighs about, a small one weighs about 4,500 pounds, and some of the trucks weigh weigh six thousand pounds and more so you can imagine the effect
Starting point is 02:52:25 on the road over time if lots of these vehicles are out there pounding on those roads uh and we're all going to pay for that in the form of these these gaping potholes that will swallow your entire car all yeah it's uh yeah they're gonna have to read they're talking about redesigning having to redesign the parking garages as well because so much more weight. They didn't design it for that. It truly is amazing. But they don't care. It's full speed forward. We don't care.
Starting point is 02:52:51 We're going to do this at warp speed. It's always, as I said, it's a MacGuffin. You've got this crisis. You've got to act now. There is no time to get it right or to test it to see if it works. We've got to go with this technology or this injection, and we're all going to die and just shut up and if you're in the way you're a problem you're a terrorist we see these rolling out over and over again even when the evidence uh is to the contrary you know if we assume that there is a climate crisis let's just
Starting point is 02:53:21 for the sake of discussion assume there's a climate crisis and it's caused by motor vehicles and by carbon dioxide emissions. Well, if that's the case, then why are they pushing, or why are they allowing, I should say, these gratuitously energy-consumptive 6,000-pound EVs? Wouldn't you think if there's a crisis, we're all going to die, there's a crisis, that the only allowable EVs would be minimalist evs the most basic lightest most energy efficient least power consumptive vehicles just whatever was minimally necessary to transport you from a to b uh and the reason that they don't do that of course is because the affluent virtue signalers would never want to be caught dead driving a car like that they want to drive around in their in their you know ludicrous speed uh
Starting point is 02:54:05 ultra exotic ultra luxurious electric car they don't want to drive around in the electric equivalent of a soviet era trabant you know it just gives the lie to all of this nonsense if there were a crisis this would not be what's happening so we know that their motives are are disingenuous dishonest and malicious and we And we know that these are going to be the cars that the stakeholders will drive, that the private-public partnership will drive. And so they're setting this up so that only the elite will have cars. That's another part of it as well. As you're pointing out, they don't want to drive it themselves,
Starting point is 02:54:39 but they don't want you to have anything, but they're going to have their cars, just like they'll have their private jets and their yachtss and all the rest of this stuff it is amazing and and you know when we talk about people even being killed by potholes uh yesterday they had an article from the world economic forum talking about a day of remembrance for road traffic victims and then as if that's not enough because they've got the vision zero that they've been using as part of their 2030 agenda smart city agenda we're going to have zero traffic deaths and of course the way you're going to do that's have zero cars um and or they're going to be traveling at zero speed which means you're not going to drive them anywhere but um you know
Starting point is 02:55:18 their vision zero thing but then they take it to this direction, Eric. They say how a global road safety crisis harms women's rights. Of course it does. Of course it does. Years ago, National Lampoon had a joke headline, and it said, end of the world tomorrow, women and minorities hardest hit. It's funny that they weren't true. Yeah, this headline is literally saying the same thing. Women and minorities hardest hit. Yeah. This is, this headline is literally saying the same thing.
Starting point is 02:55:49 First of all, you know, let's, uh, or, or, or a day of remembrance to, uh, go to war with,
Starting point is 02:55:54 uh, cars because they're killing everybody. And then it's killing women worse. It's a little too early to drink. There's never any end to it. Uh, well, you know, it uh well you know uh what else have you got at ericpetersautos.com uh we talked about the safety uh and the fact that it's not actually saving you any money uh you also talked about now you're talking about the end of the uh
Starting point is 02:56:20 there's one vehicle that's left the last last six-cylinder that's standing. You've got to remember that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And that gets into what we've been talking about, the way the regulations are being used to force the V6 engine off of the market. But there's something else, if I could, I'd like to just shift a little bit because I know time is short, that ties into this electric vehicle thing, which is the CBD thing, CBDC thing. Yes. You can't pay cash at a fast charger. know this is something that people should be aware of in order to use these fast chargers you have to use digital
Starting point is 02:56:49 money uh typically you have to have a credit card that's tied to an app on your phone and if you don't have that you won't be able to charge your ev very interesting it's a slip away at many supermarkets and other kinds of retail establishments they have windowed down the the cash registers that accept cash to almost nil. And they're trying to control and push you into using this digitized electronic currency. And that's telling. And again, it's another mechanism by which the electric vehicle is going to control you. They're going to know whether you bought electricity, how much electricity you bought, and more to the point, whether you're allowed to buy electricity at these fast chargers. That's really important for people to understand that.
Starting point is 02:57:30 And it's always been about control. It's always been about that. We've got to have, you know, you can, again, you can't have a hydrogen electric vehicle. We're not going to work on that technology. We're going to say that's not allowed because we've got to have something that's going to only be chargeable off of the centrally controlled electric grid. And now we're going to have the centrally controlled finances that are out there.
Starting point is 02:57:52 And people are getting banned by the thousands now in the UK. That's another place where they're slightly ahead of us. It's happening here. I mean, I got kicked off of PayPal and Venmo after five months on there, but you know, they're, they're doing the debanking thing and they're ramping that up.
Starting point is 02:58:08 It is ever-tightening news. That's why we have to work on how we can get outside of their system that they plan. And you have to know what system they're planning and how they're going to shut things down so that you can make plans to exist otherwise. If they're going to shut down all your banking system, well, then you need to figure out how you're going to operate on a cash or gold or silver basis with people. That's the key thing, to understand where they're coming at you. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:58:36 Well, and one thing that you can do right now, and it may seem facile on the individual level, but use cash. Insist on it. Yes. If a merchant will not accept other than than cash then don't don't do business with that with that business that's right and the more of us do it just as if more of us refused to wear the mask and didn't take the jab that can have an effect as it scales but you know it starts with you and me and every other person out there stop being gulled by the convenience of
Starting point is 02:59:02 electronic transactions I understand it's a little more difficult to pull out a piece of paper from your wallet and for the coins as opposed to swiping your card, but it's really important to not let them get control of our money. If they get control of our money, they control everything. And it'll actually help you to keep you from going into credit card debt too. That's a really, if you have a hundred dollars in your wallet, that's all you can spend. You can't spend more than that. If you have a card, you can out that's all you can spend. You can't spend more than that. If you have a card, you can outspend what you're able to pay.
Starting point is 02:59:29 Pierce Corbin, I interviewed him. He was in the UK, and he had that video that went viral where he goes into an Aldi's, and they said, no, we're cashless now. And so to make a point, he gets some strawberries and he leaves the cash there, and they say, you can't do that. And they call the police on him. There wasn't anything. He paid them.
Starting point is 02:59:45 And I don't know what the situation is in the UK, but here in the US, if you really got to have something or you really want to make the point, it says on there legal tender for all things. And so you've got the law on your side with that. If you really want to press it with these people, you can. And if you've got the cash money, they've got to take the cash money. That's what it's really about. Well, always great talking to you, Eric.
