We're going to begin today with what is happening in the House and the Senate as these war bills come to a head because it reveals, does the uniparty and it shows the influence of the money

and also the staff we're going to take a look at who the staff is that shows um what johnson is doing but a key thing about this is there's no longer even a pretense of caring about the border in an election year think about that that. That's where the Republicans are. They don't even pretend to care about the border in an election year. We'll also take a look at the climate MacGuffin. Ghost weather stations. That's right. They don't even exist.

There's a large number of the weather stations they're using to push this climate change stuff. And we have, besides the EPA trying to ban cars, we have a new agency trying to get in on it. And the Senate pushing back to nullify a bureaucratic rule. Well, that's an interesting approach. We'll be right back. Well, I want to begin with a correction yesterday as I was talking about the massive amounts of money being given to Speaker Johnson. $20 million in his first quarter as Speaker, first full quarter as Speaker. And I was comparing it to the amounts of money that were spent on the presidential campaigns just going back to 2020. $100 million for George

W. Bush altogether. $70 million for Al Gore, who accused Bush of buying the election. You know, he's spending 50% more than me. He spends 100. I spend 70 million. And here we are with Johnson in just one quarter, $20 million. But I said billion. And so I had a lot of people write me about this, especially Mark was, I think, the first and most detailed to catch it uh yeah because since we're talking about trillions so much anymore 34 trillion dollar deficit and we went

from a 10 billion dollar deficit 15 years ago when obama took office in 2009, went from a $10 billion, uh, cumulative debt to now $34 trillion cumulative debt. Uh, so like I said, it's like having a credit card stolen from you by these clowns. Uh, it had a $10 balance on it when they stole it. Now they run up a $34,000 bill. And that's, that's really where we are right now. But yeah, it does make a difference. Going back to Everett Dirksen, he said, you know, a billion here, a billion there. Pretty soon you're talking about real money. And that was when they, you know, the billion was the big number back then. My brother-in-law also contacted me, listens to the show.

He's a graphic artist who does the backgrounds that we have here. He finds them or he creates them. Karen, we were talking about that yesterday. Karen does the tie coordination and coordinates the back with her twin brother. But he said, yeah, explain to people in terms of time. And I think it is the best analogy that I've heard. You got a million seconds. How long is that? 11 and a half days, a million seconds, a billion seconds.

It's 31.7 years going from a million to a billion, 11 day, 11 and a half days to 31.7 years going from a million to a billion, 11 and a half days to 31.7 years, going from a million to a billion. When you go from a billion to a trillion, you're going from 31.7 years to 31,688, if you will, years. So it is a huge difference. And these numbers matter. As Everett Dirksen pointed out, we get accustomed to these things.

Let's take a look at the history of Speaker Johnson. He became Speaker October 25th last year. Hasn't taken him too long to deny everything that he always stood for. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating here. He was a great speaker, and I was concerned because the day after, he started talking about getting money to Ukraine, but he always wanted to use that as a negotiating tool in a sense. He had always opposed more money to Ukraine,

but I'm going to use that as a negotiating tool for money for the border. And he always was going to tie it to that. I sensed that he had already lost it at that point. Um, you don't, uh, if, if the war is wrong and the Ukraine war is wrong, uh, if you are going to, uh uh get involved in that and fund that and use that as a bargaining chip you've already lost me quite frankly and i think what happens is is that when you compromise on fundamental principles you wind up being totally compromised and that's what we've seen him do on ukraine well first you know i know i never i always opposed ukraine aid but now i'm going to use it for a good purpose i'm going to use it to get these guys to finally do something

about the border oh really are you and then what happens oh now the border's gone and it's all about ukraine so by november the 5th he gets uh become speaker by october 25th by november the 5th he's saying oh but we have to take care of our own border first so now i'm going to do the ukraine He gets to become Speaker by October 25th, by November the 5th. He's saying, but we have to take care of our own border first. So now I'm going to do the Ukraine border, but we've got to take care of our own border first. Another month later, December 5th. Well, first I explained that supplemental Ukraine funding is dependent upon enactment of transformative change to our nation's border security laws. Well, that didn't last too long. Another month later, January the 3rd, he says, if Biden wants a supplemental spending bill

focused on national security, it better begin with defending America's national security. That's right. That's the first you defend Americaica no one lets you play your international empire games right well i don't like playing american empire games because that doesn't help our defense at all that puts us at risk it puts us at risk from war it puts us at risk of losing everything financially uh and then uh go from january the 3rd to February the 12th. He says the senators foreign aid bill is silent on the most pressing issue facing our country,

the border. A couple more days, February the 28th, we must secure our border and fund our government before securing another country's border or funding another country's priorities. And then all of a sudden things changed. March 31st. He puts forward the bills with no border security measures whatsoever.

Just like that. And then by April 15th, he said no border security measures. Furthermore, he indicates border security amendments to the package would not be germane. Germane. Yeah. So, folks, the GOP is not germane to America. It's absolutely irrelevant. Washington, folks, is not germane.

Washington is gone. The National GOP party, the party at the national level is gone. National security is not the same as security for America. National security is what they do. National security is about their power trip. It's not about keeping America safe and peaceful and prosperous. It's exactly the opposite.

It's about destroying our economy, taxing us to death while they start wars to kill us. National security is not america's security it's what the pentagram and these eye agencies are doing uh here's uh here's johnson talking about his uh his journey when i was a member of judiciary I saw the abuses of the FBI, the terrible abuses over and over and over, the hundreds of thousands of abuses. And then when I became speaker, I went to the SCIF and got the confidential

briefing from sort of the other perspective on that to understand the necessity of Section 702 of FISA and how important it is for national security. And it gave me a different perspective. So I encourage all the members to go to the classified briefing and hear all that and see it so they can evaluate the situation for themselves. And I think some opinions have changed both ways, but that's part of the process.

You've got to be fully informed. It also helps if they give you lots of money. You know, but if you're just a regular member of Congress, you go to this special briefing and they'll have some very stern people there telling you, well, this is the way that it is. You know, and don't you dare question them. You have to have some very stern people there telling you, well, this is the way that it is. And don't you dare question them. You have to have some integrity. You've got to have some backbone. He doesn't. It very much reminds me of Mike Pompeo, another guy who holds himself forth as a Christian.

And Pompeo said, I went to West Point. We had a code there. You don't lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. Then I went to the CIA, and we got classes on how to lie, cheat, steal, and also how to do coups and start wars and all the rest of this. And those are the people who have the classes on lying, cheating, stealing, coups, and wars. Those are the people that will be giving you that brief. Are you that naive naive or are you

selling us out johnson what is it about this as thomas massey calls it he said this is the uniparty reveal and uh so now we're up he keeps adding keeps building the numbers up and of course he was going to take some money initially from what biden wanted to do to weaponize the irs against us these people are at war with us folks the uniparty biden johnson and trump are at war with us they want this big irs they want other foreign wars they want unlimited military spending because they're the only ones who profit from this stuff and they do profit handsomely and so it's now up to 95 billion with a b and um but nothing nothing at all nothing for the border this is a complete repudiation of the elections do you understand the elections don't mean anything because they understand it you think if the elections meant anything that johnson and trump would be dancing around this

stuff no no they'd be all about oh we got to protect the border we got to protect the border especially because it's an election year they don't care they this is going to be a hacking contest between the democrats and republicans we have all these people who think the 2020 was so corrupt. Yeah, it did add another level of corruption. And guess who added that level of corruption? Trump did. It added another level of corruption, the vote by mail stuff. But the elections have been rigged and cheating and all this kind of forever, forever.

And that is especially true at the top levels. And so, um, uh, he, uh, went on to explain, I want to play this for you because this shows the connection, I think really between, uh, Mike Johnson and Trump and to a large degree Biden as well. Look, we know what the timetable is. We know the urgency in Ukraine and in Israel. And we are going to stand by Israel, our close ally and dear friend, and we're going to stand for freedom and make sure that Vladimir Putin doesn't march through Europe. These are important responsibilities.

A strong America is good for the entire world. Since World War II, really, really, the responsibility for the free world has been shifted onto our shoulders. And we accept that role. We're an exceptional nation. We're the greatest nation on the planet. And we have to act like it. And we have to project to Putin and Xi and Iran and North Korea and anybody else that we will defend freedom. It doesn't mean boots on the ground. We're not the world's policemen. But we're going to do the right thing. And that's exactly what he's saying. We are in here. Well, we'll see what happens with that. I think he's a very good person.

We'll see what happens with that. I think he's a very good person. Have you talked to Trump about this plan, this legislative plan in terms of how you're introducing these foreign aid bills? And ultimately, will he have your back? Oh, I think he will. I was just with him on Friday down at Mar-a-Lago and we had dinner together and my wife was with me and we had a great visit. We talked about a lot of things, all the politics going on in the country. All the money. And the press conference we had there together and I'm doing a very good job and he supports me and all of that. Listen, I think this is all going to work out. I think it's going

to be fine. I did tell the president the plan on all of this, and I think he clearly understands why we're running this play and why we need to do this. I think this sets up the next election, the next administration, the next president, and I believe he's going to win in a better position. Well, there you go. They're all on the same page because Johnson is there on the same page with Biden now.

I mean, they even agree on the amounts, everything that Biden wants. He gives Trump doesn't want to show any leadership if he disagrees. He's too much afraid to push back, just like with Fauci or the rest of these people. Oh, yeah, he's a really good guy. He's smart. We'll just see. We'll see. I want to step back.

I don't want to take a leadership position here, says Trump. I want to kind of see how the wind is blowing. So we'll let him take the lead on this and I'll see how people are reacting. Maybe I'll do something about it. Maybe I won't. Following a Republican outcry, Johnson included a fifth bill

which would revive the Secure Border Act so that U.S. border security is essentially an afterthought yeah see um what is truly amazing those why would he pull back are they trying to be fiscally responsible of course not they're going to give a hundred billion dollars to wars abroad and not a cent not a cent to the border do they care about the deficit of course they don't that's not anywhere nowhere is that a concern and so when you look at certain things like i've said before when the democrats have the modern monetary theory the magic money tree if you will deficits don't matter they say't matter, they say. Oh, I like that economic theory. That's going to be our new economic theory.

That's even better than Keynesianism. So deficits just absolutely do not matter. Okay, well, then why are you still taxing us with an income tax? Well, because it's about control, and it's about making sure that we don't have any kind of independence or prosperity they want us poor they want us to be enslaved that's why they continue the income tax it doesn't come anywhere close nowhere close i mean we're in a 34 trillion dollar deficit we're adding a trillion dollars every 100 days and the income tax is only a part of their income and so it's not even close to what they're spending. They really don't care.

And so they're not even pretending to care that it matters to try to balance income versus expenditures. They don't care. They don't even pretend to care. So why are they doing the income tax? They don't care about the deficit so why won't they put some money in at the border because it is such an economically uh uh and it's such a politically popular thing to do and they look at this and it's like well i don't know i can't do that that's just too that that's just fiscally irresponsible if I were to do that. No, it's because they want the borders open because they're at war with us. They want us destroyed economically. They want us destroyed in a civil war by bringing in people from every country

in the world. They want to turn America into a tower of Babel because as this country collapses with a financial cut, they want people fighting each other. They don't want us making common cause. And so the best way you do that is having people who have different cultures who have different languages and all the rest of the stuff. They don't want us coming together to come after them.

That's their most effective thing. And that's what Johnson is doing. He doesn't have to worry about fiscal responsibility. He could easily have put any, he could have put another hundred billion down at the border or he could have put 200. I care a lot more about our border. I care twice as much about our border as I do all the other foreign wars combined, but not a cent, not a cent. It wouldn't have

mattered if he'd put another 200 billion in there. Who cares? We're doing another trillion dollars to the debt every 100 days. So who cares about that? Well, they care because they're at war with America. They won't spend a penny because they want to harm us, not help us. They're not on our side. The Republicans are not on our side. Trump is not on our side. We know Biden is not on our side. And when you look at this head fake of the Secure Border Act,

there's absolutely no way that that's going to pass if it is not linked to Ukraine. I just read you his, what he's been, what he said from October to March. He always said it has to be linked. It has to be linked. He knows that there's no votes to get the border through. He knows that the Democrats don't want to do anything to close the border, to resist it at all. And quite frankly, what they're talking about doing in the Secure Border Act, well, let's continue to, we'll build some more wall and we'll do this or that. Those measures are nothing but window dressing and virtue signaling to begin with. There's not any measures in the Secure Border Act that are going to secure the border. But they don't even pretend.

In election year, that's what I'm trying to get across. They don't even want to pretend that they want to secure the border. Isn't that interesting? That's another Rubicon we have crossed. It's not that they're going to come up with some phony measure. They don't even bother to pretend that they care. So, um,

as he floats these ridiculous ideas of a domino theory, Russia wanting to take over Europe and all the rest of this stuff, uh, you know, we always justify, you heard him say, well, I want to send bullets so we don't have to send boys.

Uh, well, let's send them the trannies that should take care of it uh they'll die laughing um no look it is always this is the path to hell to say well we got to get them before they get us that's what the japanese did at pearl harbor we called it infamy at the time, and that was right. It was infamy, even if FDR stood down. They still did it. But that has been our foreign policy infamy since World War II. We'll take them out before they take us out. That is the path to endless war. That allows you an excuse to go after anybody that you wish. And I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it at all.

That's the genius and the morality of the just war theory. You don't ever go to war against somebody unless they hit you first. And then your object is to try to end the war as soon as possible and minimize the civilian casualties. That's not the way we fight. None of that. We want endless wars.

We want maximum security, maximum civilian casualties, and we start the wars. Hans, are we the bad guys? Remember that skit? British skit? What are these skulls on our uniforms there? Speaker Mike Johnson saying we're going to stand for freedom and make sure that Putin doesn't march through Europe.

We're the greatest nation on the planet. And we have to act like that uh folks this is it was just to see that kind of stuff was kind of sickening naivete and i don't think anybody is that naive especially him he comes across as really calculating. I call him Machiavellian Mike. He comes across as a cold, calculating SOB. He's not a son of God. He's a son of a something else. Uh, Baphomet, if you will, starting wars like this by the fruit, you'll know them. Uh, he confirms Trump supports him and the record breaking Ukraine funding plan

that he just introduced as Michael Tracy. Um, Johnson told the Washington times to put it bluntly. I would rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys. Well, why do we have to send either? Is that our fight? Hmm. Uh, you're so wise in the ways of geopolitics that you've got this figured out do you machiavellian mike uh sean davis says he's a stupid gullible dishonest person whose incompetence

is eclipsed only by his cowardice imagine being alive and sentient and witnessing the last 10 years of deep state skullduggery and then allowing yourself to be manipulated by the most corrupt intelligent apparatus on earth, which is what he just admitted to. Well, I saw the thousands and thousands of abuses by the FBI, but then I went to one briefing and they just disbanded and all that stuff and told me it's all necessary. Oh, okay. Well, that's fine.

What does that tell you about his moral compass well you know uh it's really awful but the means justifies the end you know we can have thousands and thousands of abuses by the fbi but hey if that makes us more secure here in washington you know the people that are going to channel 20 million dollars a quarter to me if that makes us more secure then i'm okay with that the means justifies the end does it really not if you are trying to base your policy on morality it doesn't but if you're machiavellian mike it does the ukraine aid would be provided as a loan but with provisions allowing for the loan to be canceled who do trump and johnson think they're

fooling with that head fake come on seriously oh it's going to be canceled who do trump and johnson think they're fooling with that head fake come on seriously oh it's going to be a loan they'll pay it back someday well maybe we'll just forgive it or something you know it was a loan that they gave the banks that were too big to fail and they paid it back quote unquote with zero percent money that was loaned to them by the federal reserve. Yeah. Right. Yeah. They didn't pay it back. They got the money. They just, you know, here you hand me this monopoly money and I'll give it back to you.

See, we paid off the loan. Isn't that great? So he's still going to send these four and one, he's going to package them all together and send them to the Senate to pass. And now he's going to add as an afterthought, a standalone so-called secure border act that won't do anything anyway, but he doesn't even care to pretend he's going to send that separately. And that's already been bogged down in the Senate. They're not,

uh, they refuse to pass it before. This is just another head fake. It's like saying, well, I'm going to loan the money to Ukraine instead of giving it to them. But we have some things in there where they don't have to pay it back. Well, I'm going to send the bill now to the Senate. But of course, I know that they're not going to pass it because they've already rejected what I'm going to send them.

Bob Good, Republican of Virginia, said it's a joke. Yeah, it's a joke yeah it's a cynical cynical joke arguing that johnson is more worried about ukraine than the u.s mexico border which had previously said he was going to pair together thomas massey said johnson plans to pass the rule for the 100 billion dollar foreign aid package using democrats on the rules committee this is the uniparty reveal. And Lou Dobbs says GOP gives up on Johnson. Thomas Massey says Mike Johnson has betrayed the Republican conference on two big occasions, and he's about to do it a third time. No, he hasn't betrayed the Republican conference. He's betrayed the American people and the Constitution that he swore to uphold.

Massey has called on Johnson to resign, as John Boehner did, and allow the GOP to elect a new speaker. So, again, we know that the Secure Border Act is not going to pass on its own because they've already sent it on its own, and it won't pass, and it wouldn't do anything anyway. But the news is that they don't even pretend to care about the border in election year. That's what's changed.

As I said before, you know, when we had 2016 election, Trump brings it up and he said, well, maybe he's serious about it. And for the first three or four months, people stopped coming across the border because they thought he might be serious about it, then they realized that he wasn't and then the caravans began but we had had election after election after election where the republicans said they were going to fix the border issue illegal immigration they never did now they don't even pretend to care don't in election year they don't even pretend that's the contempt they have for you and that's how crooked the system is again they're not suicidal they think they're going to be able

to stay in power they don't really care who you vote for they're going to rig it themselves i think we'll see it'll be a hacking contest may the best criminals win uh because when you look at the polls um this is a poll that was done by the heritage foundation they asked people to rank their priorities and ukraine was quite a bit more of a priority in the swing states sorry the border was a bigger priority than ukraine in the swing states a poll showed that 56 of those voters felt that the 113 billion dollar price tag for ukraine support so far now we're gonna do not all of it for ukraine but another hundred billion uh was either too much or far too much so we're gonna make it more than 200 now and uh so that was 50 56 of the people said you're spending way too much money then when they asked them to compare the importance of border

security without of ukraine funding 50 said the border is more important than ukraine only 11 chose ukraine another 29 said both were equally important and then you got the people who don't know what's going on always there uh and um they they're so clueless and disinterested that's the key thing uh so why is the border important well just take a look at what has happened in New York City this last week. You had a flood of newcomers or squatters. Take your pick. I'm sick of calling them migrants. That doesn't say anything. They're illegal aliens.

They're foreign citizens here illegally. But they're also squatters in New York City flooded the grounds of City Hall in lower Manhattan to protest the scaling down of their luxury hotel accommodations funded by taxpayers. And Elon Musk responded to the videos that went up, said, wow. Well, somebody else posted a video of angry migrants surrounding City Hall complex building. Security beefed up as the situation was tense, and this was Tuesday. The migrant protest comes one day after pro-Palestinian groups shuttered critical infrastructure nationwide across various metro areas of the U.S., including the Brooklyn Bridge. This is what they're doing to us they're taking a country that used to be capable of bringing people together who came here for freedom not for free stuff and because they're coming here for some common values because america used to stand for freedom and opportunity. People would come here with nothing but the clothes on their back and no welfare safety net because they wanted freedom. And we had a melting pot.

And we were able to have people come together and live peaceably from all over the world. But they don't want that. They're bringing lots of people from all over the world coming for free stuff, and it's going to be a big fight once the economy starts to go down, once the dollar goes down. That's what they want. They want internal domestic division and conflict to keep us from coming after the people who did this to us. Mike Johnson's top policy advisor is a former lobbyist. It's

kind of interesting how this all works out. I remember when Rick Perry wanted to mandate Gardasil for kids in high school. I think it was male and female, I believe. And everybody's like, what's going on with that? That was the first time anybody had talked about mandating vaccines as a condition of going to school. And it turns out that he had somebody on his staff who left his staff momentarily and then went to work for the vaccine company and then came back to his staff. And that's what we're seeing with Mike Johnson. We got people who used to work for him who left, went to work as lobbyists for Ukraine, and then came back to work for him. And lo and behold, he's been able to get lots of money as well as changing his position. The inside story of how Mike Johnson was flip-flopped on

Ukraine aid starts with his top policy advisor, a former lobbyist. His clients include a large number of major companies who have issued corporate statements indicating that they're interested and they've got business interests in Ukraine. Johnson's policy director, Dan Ziegler, was, until he joined the Speaker's office as his top policy aide, a lobbyist with the firm Williams & Jensen. This is a report from Breitbart, by the way. He left Johnson to become a lobbyist, and he accumulated a client list that included several top companies, some of which seemed to have financial interest in seeing Congress

pass Ukraine aid, just like the Rick Perry thing. His aid that goes to, was it Merck that had Gardasil? And then comes back, and lo and behold, Rick Perry decides he's going to mandate it for everybody. Ziegler also represented the highly controversial News Media Alliance, which was lobbying Congress when he worked for Williams and Jensen to push a dangerous proposal that would have severely hurt conservative media. That proposal, called Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, has died several times in Congress,

but keeps coming back to life thanks to lobbyists like this guy, who's now the chief policy director for the Speaker of the House, the Republican Speaker of the House. Ziegler is not the only one in Johnson's inner circle who has issues several other staffers working for Johnson have a series of troubling developments in their backgrounds as well and they said that's not all his client list Ziegler's client list also included Eli Lilly. You know, I said when I talked about Alex Azar, that Trump put in as head of HHS. And Alex Azar, who declared a pandemic emergency

at the end of January when nobody was dying anywhere, anywhere in the world. And he declared that. It was all set up. The pharmaceutical industry was trolled by trump by bringing in rfk jr he scared them he bid up the price they give him lots of money for his um inauguration parties so to speak and at least that's the story that they tell publicly then lo and behold eli lilly's ceo alex azar gets appointed head of hhs which is over fauci's nih you know it's over he's like fauci's boss's boss fauci's boss is francis collins at

the nih and francis collins boss was alex azar at hhs former pharmaceutical executive at eli lilly because they have always been some of the most connected, if not the most connected of the pharmaceutical companies. Even in the mid-2000s when Bush was doing the PrEP Act and doing other things, they put in a Lilly writer, specifically at the suggestion of Eli Lilly. They've been very, very successful at buying politicians and getting what they want out of them.

And so Ziegler's client list also included medical service provider Eli Lilly, who regularly has issued corporate statements of support for the Ukraine war and also donated medicines to the nation while suspending all activities in Russia. But it also included companies like Visa, Vanguard. You think they're going to, you think that this Speaker Johnson is going to do anything about CBDC? Not a chance. Then Pfizer and Merck, the rest of you think he's going to do anything about big pharmaceutical

companies and the protection they have for their products and their vaccines, not a chance. Not a chance. This guy is owned. Ziegler's number two is Josh Hodges. He left Johnson to go work in the Trump administration, where he worked for the intelligence community in the Trump organization. Again, here we are.

Johnson equals Trump equals Biden. I mean, it's just on these policies, there is an equivalence there all the way through. Isn't it a surprise how despite all of the rhetoric, they wind up doing the same things don't they they can and sometimes even when they're candidates they don't disagree even as candidates but when they get elected they do the same thing so this guy josh hodges goes to work yeah he was working for johnson and then he goes to work for the trump administration so the other guy who goes to work for the lobbyists worked in the intelligence community. He also served at the United States Agency for International Development, the USAID. Folks, that's the CIA. That's where Obama's mama was, USAID.

It's absolutely just a branch of the CIA. He was also on the National Security Council, a senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs. Hodges is the brain behind many of the most controversial Johnson policy decisions related to funding foreign wars. The policies relating to FISA. You want to know how this all comes together? Take a look at the people that used to work for him,

where they went, now they've come back. You take a look, josh hodge's guy it makes it very clear why he's giving a blank checks to the ukraine war and blank checks to the intelligence community over to spy on americans like i said they hate us they're at war with us they don't even pretend anymore they don't even pretend to protect our privacy or our borders or the Constitution or anything else. And so a source familiar with the Speaker's office and how it works on the inside told Breitbart, according to a legistorm, Hodges handles Johnson's armed forces and national security portfolios the source who spoke on condition of anonymity to breitbart said mike used to vote differently what changed who is he

talking to now ziegler and hodges that's what's happening and so so Politico says, how did Johnson and Biden lock arms on Ukraine? And the funny thing about it is that Johnson has locked arms with Trump. So they're like a chain, aren't they? You know, from Trump to Johnson to Biden, from Biden to Johnson to Trump. The Uniparty. Just like they were when it came to the pandemic, just like the COVID, the climate MacGuffin. Oh, Trump's going to pretend that he's not on board with that, and yet he left the Paris

Climate Accord in. That is whole administration. So they're going to uh these are the people who are courting the speaker behind the scenes that's uh biden not just his lobbyist but it's biden who's proud of it and they're bragging look at this he's right there he's locked arms with us isn't that great politico is talking about it because they want to make biden look like such a great negotiator right they want to build up biden uh johnson was a willing participant in all of this as a matter of fact the headline from newsweek mike johnson gives impassioned ukraine speech as he defies MAGA. It defies its conservative base. He says, history judges us for what we do.

This is a critical time on the world stage. Well, I mean, if he's a Christian, he's not going to be judged by history. He's going to be judged by God. I mean, I don't care what other people think now or in the future. I do care as a Christian what God thinks. Why doesn't Mike Johnson think the same thing? He holds himself forth that way. I mean, it's very easy for any politician,

whether you're talking about warmongering Pence or warmongering Pompeo, to hold themselves forth as a Christian and uh, and then live their life exactly opposite to it. Uh, it's not a, uh, loving thing to stay silent about that. I mean, if these guys are Christians, we need to call them out. Don't we? Iron sharpens iron. Uh, Hey brother brother do you realize that your life is completely at odds with with uh jesus your lord and what he had to say why do you call him lord lord and not do what he says maybe you need to look at your life so yeah the world stage well uh he is a hypocrite which is the greek word for actor so i guess that's what he's looking at, right? But he's not worried about God judging him.

He's worried about history judging him. Well, momentum grows to remove Johnson over the potential change to the ouster rule. We'll see about that. I don't know, as he adds this um you know i the people there know that adding the border as a separate standalone thing is an absolute non-sequitur it's not going to make any difference to anything he's not fooling any of them and i don't think he's even fooling the general public either uh as a matter of fact uh politico didn't interview jd vance now i've not really paid much attention to jd vance

he's uh somebody that's been in the trump orbit and he had um you know a book that he wrote and present himself as a populist i've seen some things that he said that i did not agree with, but I think that he got it exactly right with this. Politico says the grand strategy behind J.D. Vance's latest push to kill Ukraine aid. So what is he trying to do? They point out it's not simply about Ukraine. It's about what is America's role on the world stage.

Last week, the Ohio Republican authored a New York Times op-ed piece titled The Math on Ukraine Doesn't Add Up. And he's followed that up with a meeting with the House Republican Study Committee on Wednesday to whip against Johnson's Ukraine bill. This is Senator J., JD Vance. Uh, during my hours of talking with Vance says the writer for Politico, he defended his persistent opposition to USA to Ukraine, even more so than Trump because Trump doesn't care about anything. JD Vance might have some principles. It sounds like he's thought this thing through. So maybe he actually believes this and stands on this aspect of it. And again, I'm not endorsing any politician.

I'm just talking about this issue. Politico says, yet that opposition also emerges as one small part of Vance's much broader, more sweeping theory of international affairs. If Vance gets his way, cutting off U.S. funding to Ukraine will only be the first step in a much broader reorientation of the U.S.'s role in the global order. Vance is deeply skeptical of the so-called rules-based international order. The system of laws and norms and multilateral institutions established in the years following the Second World War to mitigate global conflict and facilitate international economic activity. That's the way they describe it. But the rules-based international order is simply a U.S. empire with the U.S. as the world's policeman. As Vance sees it, this system has enriched economic elites

while harming working-class people who are rooted in older industrial economies, all while failing to deliver on the ultimate goal of liberalizing non-democratic countries like China and Russia. It's failed in every aspect of this. Vance does not see the U.S. decision to defend, quote, the principles at the heart of the international rules-based order, unquote, defending those in Ukraine as part of some high-minded and honorable policy. Instead, Vance sees it as self-interested effort by economic elites to preserve a global order that advances their interests while screwing over the type of people that he represents

in post-industrial Ohio. As he once put it to me, I think you have to rethink the entire project. We do. He's absolutely right about that. Instead of the rules-based international order, Vance thinks the U.S. needs to chart a new course, a more nationalistic system, where individual nations are solely responsible for their own security and economic well-being and more insulated from global economic and military entanglements. I think somebody else had that idea, George Washington.

According to Vance, the first step towards nudging the world in that direction is ending U.S. aid to Ukraine, which, as it became clear this week, depends on convincing his Republican colleagues in the House to kill Johnson's foreign aid bill. Entangling foreign alliances, especially in Europe, where they're in a constant state of war, or in the Middle East, where they're in a constant state of war. We don't want that. We want to have peace and commerce with all nations and tangling alliances with none. This is not a J.D. Vance idea. This is the foundation of America,

and it's the foundation of peace and prosperity. Look at Switzerland. Look at early America. So we write the rules. We're the police who enforce the policies that we write and it's not working out too well for america there's some people the elites in washington that's working out really well for them not for the rest of us opponents and both parties argue that he's merely carrying water for vladimir putin see that's what they all you know oh well

you're a putin apologist that type and it's so pathetically naive and childish in his argument this is like the people who as soon as you oppose them on whatever issue the left gets in your face and screams racist racist racist in february when the senate was debating its own version of the aid package vance told his colleagues that blocking spending levels in place could create a hidden mechanism for Democrats to impeach Trump in his second term. See, that's the thing I've not liked about JD Vance. He has done everything he can to attach himself to Trump.

Locking spending levels in might hurt Trump. Who cares? This guy deserves to be in a prison for the rest of his life based on what he did in 2020. Nevertheless, he is right about trying to end this. And just like, you know, when we look at Ron Wyden, the Democrat senator, with whom I agree about nothing except trying to stop domestic surveillance of Americans. That is something that Ron Wyden got right. And he's like a bulldog on that one issue. He just become like his kind of his defining thing.

And he got it right. So maybe J.D. Vance will make it his defining thing to push back against this rules-based international order nonsense. I think it's simply just the American empire, the desire to be an empire. Vance's efforts this week are in many respects secondary to the broader goal of shifting the Republican paradigm on foreign policy. This larger project goes beyond injecting some realism into the foreign policy debates on the right. Vance sees the debate over Ukraine aid as a proxy for the debate over the direction of what he openly calls the American empire, and by extension, of America as a whole.

The really interesting debate that is happening between the establishment right and the populist right, he says, is about challenging the premise that things are going really well. On the one side, establishment Republicans believe the American empire is trending in the right direction. You just heard Machiavelli and Mike Johnson say that, right? Oh, he's so glib, slippery, snide. Oh, it's going great. I mean, look, he's so glib, slippery, snide. Oh, it's going great. I mean, look, he's Speaker.

They believe the American empire is trending in the right direction. The populist Republicans believe the American empire is on the verge of collapse. The establishment points to falling poverty rates around the world, but the populist right points to the falling birth and life expectancies at home. And also to the falling affordability of the middle class and how economically everything is falling by every metric in America. Vance said, there's just this desperate effort to argue that everything's going well. And man, I just don't buy it at all. And neither do I.

And neither should you. Well, we're going to take a break on Rockfin. Dougalug, thank you very much for the tip. And he says, and happy Friday. Well, thank you. And happy Friday to all of you. On Rockfin, Stephen Patterson, thank you very much. That's very generous.

I appreciate that. And Karen B. Johnson, Karen B. says, Johnson's hyperbole is off the charts. He is a horrible pick as speaker. Notice the pattern? We never get anyone worth supporting. That's the interesting thing about it. And that was the thing when he first became speaker.

Remember, he just came out of nowhere. He had not been on the national thing about it. And that was the thing when he first became speaker, remember he just came out of nowhere. He had not been on the national stage at all. And all of a sudden, you know, they do these different, they got the guy who's the, um, the,

the whip and they got somebody, you know, who's the leader and the number two and the number three, and they can't get in. And then, you know, they just pull this other guy up and throw him up there. And it's like,

who is this guy? You know? And it's like, well, maybe that'll be good. Who knows? Maybe, you know, he just, this other guy up and throw him up there. And it's like, who is this guy? You know, and it's like, well, maybe that'll be good. Who knows? Maybe, you know, he just, no, it was all, unfortunately, pre-planned and prepared. We'll be right back.

Let's talk a little bit about the climate game. As I said before, it's very interesting to see the bluffs that they've been pulling. In terms of both a lack of climate records and also a lack even of contemporary records. You know, we add up to about 1200 stations in 1957, but they've been falling off.

But even after they've been falling off, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, has still been reporting data from them, making it up, extrapolating it, if you will. Because, you know, we got a station maybe a couple hundred miles that away and another one a couple hundred miles that away. So let's take the midpoint and, you know, we'll divide those two and a half and we'll say that's what the temperature is at this one.

Really? Yeah. Well, as fee.org, the foundation for economic education, uh, F E E.org says a federal phase out of gasoline cars has begun. Yeah. It's good to think about it this way because it has begun. It's been going on for a while. Make no mistake about it.

This is going to have a significant economic impact on all of us and it's going to have a significant impact on our freedom as well you know this was essentially the loophole during their lockdown wasn't it the private car they couldn't quite keep us locked down as long as we had a private car uh couldn't even rationally justify it for most of the mask crowd although i did see a lot of people driving around with the windows up and a mask on uh but most people weren't that stupid and they would have been laughed off of the world stage if they had suggested that we couldn't go anywhere in a car the biden administration recently rolled out new emission regulations says the new york times that will transform the american automobile market that's what they had to say and of course these are not laws and they're rules from biden rules

from his bureaucracy in the same way that trump was doing gun control by executive order through the swamp, the ATF. Well, Biden is doing car control, car bans through rules with the swamp, not even with laws. And this is in order to satisfy a pretend treaty, the Paris Climate Accord. It's not even been ratified. Oh, we got to do all this stuff to maintain our compliance with this treaty that we never ratified. So the EPA is mandating the majority of new passenger vehicles sold in America be hybrids or EVs by 2032.

Now, this is similar. You have to understand how these people operate. And just like all these people don't, well, Trump never mandated the vaccine and he didn't ban this and he didn't ban that. Well, he did. He did. And Biden though is saying, well, this is not a ban. I'm not banning this. I'm just saying that we've got mandates for these manufacturers to meet. And they have to meet these things or we'll hit them with really big fines.

And so the Biden administration says this is not a ban on gas-powered cars. Car makers are not prohibited from making gas-powered vehicles. Instead, they're required to meet a government-mandated average emissions limit, and that limit has now been set by the EPA and Biden to make sure that they'll only have EVs and hybrids. And this is just a few years off, 2032. I mean, we're looking at seven model years away. It's a clever ruse that allows the Biden administration to use regulatory power to force automobile manufacturers off of gas-powered vehicles while denying that they're banning them. Yeah, it's semantics.

Just like Trump and Fauci said, I never banned any, I never forced anybody. I didn't mandate anything. I just gave people money if they did it. And I gave them fines if they didn't do it. Make no mistakes, says the Wall Street Journal. This is a coerced phase-out of gas-powered cars. And, of course, the EPA is not just doing that. They're also using water rules, the clean water act and waters the united states acts and rules with that to try to shut down independent small farms as well because they

want to starve us that way as well as take away our mobility they want to take away our energy take away our food on the daily skeptic there's an article there they were catastrophizing climate back in the 17th century and they've got all these diaries and other things and records showing that in the 16th century everybody was saying we've never had weather like this before isn't it funny you always hear that from everybody never had weather like this before uh he says, a long time ago, I became fascinated by the obsession that people have that they live in a time of epic and overwhelming significance. Don't we hear that all the time? You hear that politically, you hear that every election. There's never been an election that's more important than this one. And if we don't get this one right, there won't be any

more elections ever. Everything at this point in time is the most significant. And, you know, to one extent it is because this is the moment in which we live. It's the only one that we can do anything about. We can't do anything really about what's already happened and certainly can't do too much about what's coming in the future, except in the way that we act right now. So to some degree that is correct, but he says, um, he says, I looked for a word that would kind of sum up this fixation on, you know, we live in the most epic and overwhelmingly significant time in the history of the world. He said, there isn't a word for that. So I coined one chronocentricity. He says it's a form of egocentricity a fixation on the notion of one's own implicit importance but making it about the the time that we're living being so important

chronocentricity he said the present is the worst of times the past was the best of times nothing could sum up today's climate catastrophizing better. Since, as we all know, apparently the 1830s were a paradise when the world was in a perfect state of equilibrium. And again, they like to go back to their minimal climate records and cherry-pick a starting point just before the Industrial Revolution and then say, well, and then the change that we have here is because of the industrial revolution correlation does not equal causation especially

when you're cherry picking uh the the range of where you're doing the stuff in the year 80 16 for example roman general germanicus had his fleet scattered and wrecked by a massive storm that left survivors claiming that they'd seen whirlwinds and fantastic beasts, according to Tacitus. Proper coordinated climate catastrophizing kicked off when in early modern records and diary keeping began. And that really wasn't until the 17th century, the 1600s. In a companion volume to a 1970 edition of Samuel Peep's Diaries, the two people who put that together had a section there about weather, providing an excellent resource for anybody who wishes to find out about the conditions in 17th century England. I don't know where it is anymore, but I remember listening to that. We had our video stores, Ken Brenna, uh, read Samuel Peep's diaries. And, uh, of course he's a very good reader and it was a very interesting diary. Samuel Peep's was somebody

who worked his way up through the government bureaucracy. I think he was the Naval thing. And, uh, and he talked about all of his um you know his career what was happening in london he lived at the time of the great plague of the great fire in london and all the rest of this stuff and the rise of the british empire very very interesting and of course he was also very candid in his diary about all of his illicit affairs that he had his uh sexual adultery and all the rest of this stuff. And he wrote it in a code. And nobody was able to crack that code until the late 20th century. But you know, there is nothing that is hidden that is not going to be exposed. And that's true whether or not you have some humans break the code in a diary.

But he kept a very detailed diary. And again, diaries are, are really valuable, uh, as a record for many different reasons. That's one of the reasons why I talk about George Mueller's diary, his diary about prayers and how they were answered and that type of thing. Samuel Peep's diary was quite a bit different, uh, but it did give us an interesting insight into the time, as well as the kind of political Machiavellian moves that are being made. Yes. I wonder if Machiavellian Mike is keeping a diary. uh anyway they talk about this and the fact that right from the start we see how clear the weather

was a divine punishment for the sins of humanity that's the way they were seeing it none of these people thought of suing the government nevertheless for breaching their human rights by failing to protect them when the weather got bad they They looked at it as really bad weather. Ah, the sins of humanity. Isn't that kind of interesting? Because, you know, climate has now become a religion, hasn't it? And we've got these climate high priests of this religion of environmentalism. We don't believe as a society anymore, a secular society, we don't believe in God.

But we believe in our sins, and somebody has to be appeased for our sins. And perhaps even worse, because we don't believe in a God as a society, it must be us because we're God. We control everything, right? This vanity, you talk about chronocentricity, it really is the egocentricity, the idea that man is supreme. And so therefore we must be at fault for the climate. And I think it's that, certainly the people who are lying to us, like Michael Mann and other people like that, cherry-picking the data, lying it, manipulating it, they know what's going on, and they don't believe this. I mean, these are the high priests, they're in on the joke.

But the vast majority of our society, I think because it is secular, they believe that we really do have that kind of power. Unlike the time of Mark Twain, he said, everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. People today believe that we have this godlike power. And we are doing this. Now, there are people who are working on geoengineering but i'm talking about uh you know the people who believe that it's your suv that type of thing uh so um it makes a little bit easier for them to sell this because there is that implicit assumption by the population that we are god and we have this godlike power to do whatever we want and we are the problem and

we've been sold this idea that you know there is no uh there is no uh intelligent design there is no god who created everything it just all happened it's just this wonderful freak uh accident of nature and we call the earth guy and we call humans a virus and we've got to eliminate this disease of humanity or we're going to kill this wonderful accidental thing that we call earth and so you go back and you look in the 1600s they're saying things like we've never had anything like this in my memory um a storm so ghastly as no man alive has ever seen the like in this age. And so today what we do is we say, well, there's nothing been like this since records began. One of the things that was put together here was by Robert Boyle.

The general history of the air. It doesn't call it weather. It doesn't call it meteorology. He calls it the general history of the air. That's a nice ring to it. I think. And it's grandiose and uh and kind of ridiculous at the same time isn't it uh so you see these types of entries in the diary uh june 7th 1665 being the

hottest day i ever felt in my life and it confessed so by all other people the hottest that they ever knew in england at the beginning of june and then a few days later very hot beyond bearing which was odd because six months earlier it had been one of the coldest days that they'd ever felt in england and then the night of july 7th and 8th proved to be the hottest night that ever I had in my life. It thundered in lightning all night long and rained hard. An endless parade of modern tabloid headlines, isn't it? I mean, you know, people like The Guardian and New York Times and LA Times, Washington Post. They don't even need to write their headlines. Just go back to some of these diaries from the 1600s.

We're all hyperbole. The main effect of all this catastrophizing is to obscure the truth, whatever that truth really is, and to make it more likely that whatever the problems are and the panicked solutions either do no good or make things worse. At least in the 17th century, no one was foolhardy enough to think that the state had an obligation to protect them from the weather and could be sued if it didn't or that anyone was able to change it well again people are able to change it with geoengineering uh to a large degree for example as one person who put this upside imagine believing that this is just naturally forming ice crystals.

Yeah, look at that. Look at a massive amount of stuff coming out of the back of that plane. Yeah, ice crystals, right? Yeah, that's not chemtrails, that's ice crystals. Well, it gets even worse. Hidden behind climate policies, data from non-existent temperature stations that I mentioned at the beginning of the show.

This is an article from the Epoch Times. And you see these types, as I said, they don't have to write their own headlines, but they do. They could easily go back to the 1600s and look at the diaries there. But you have UN Secretary General Guterres on March 19th. The Earth is issuing a distress call. We have a planet on the brink. Or this. Fossil fuel pollution is sending climate

chaos off the charts. Sirens are blaring all across the major indicators. Some records aren't just chart topping, they're chart busting. Biden said that the climate is an existential threat in his State of the Union 2023. He said, let's face reality. Biden faced reality. The climate crisis doesn't care if you're a red or a blue state. Guterres of the UN and Biden in Washington rely in part on temperature readings from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network. It has recorded for more than 100 years daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States. Now, first of all, think about the time frame, 100 years. These are people

who say that the Earth is billions of years old. I don believe that i don't believe it i'm a young earth creationist and i'm unashamed to say it uh i just go with what the bible says i don't try to fit it to their ever-changing scientific theories but if the earth is 10 000 years old and they've got 100 years of data. They've got what? 1%? 1%? What kind of projection can you make with that? Nothing. If it is millions or billions of years old, as they say, it's even more ludicrous. They got 100 years?

They got 100 years of a few stations in the United States? That's it? It gets worse. The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of this network's stations don't exist anymore. They are physically gone, but they're still reporting data, like magic. Noah fabricates temperature data for more than 30% of the 1,218 reporting stations that no longer exist.

He calls them ghost stations, ghost stations. You should be worried about that because he uses ghost stations like ghost guns to rob us and take everything from us. The stations reached a maximum of 1,218 stations in 1957. But after 1990, the number of active stations began declining due to aging equipment and personnel retirements. And they didn't hire anybody to replace the people who were retiring. They just decided to start making the data up.

NOAA still records data from these ghost stations by taking the temperature readings from surrounding stations and recording their average. And then they put an E after it. But they still use it for their stats as if it was actual data. This was exposed by the Heartland Institute institute if this kind of process were used in a court of law the evidence would be thrown out and uh so even worse than that is like the guy who founded the weather channel who always opposed this climate change nonsense

he never believed it he said so they're telling us that a one and a half degree change in temperature is going to cause the earth to die he says you don't have that kind of first of all you don't have that many stations now we see that a lot of the stations are ghost stations but even worse is uh what has happened to the stations that remain. They might have been out in a rural area. Now they're in an urban heat island. Or maybe they're on an airport tarmac, which is even worse. And then when you look at the way the temperature used to be read, it used to be read by the people who've now retired,

no longer there at these GO stations. But it used to be read off of mercury thermometers. And that's what the guy who founded the weather channel said, because you've got a parallax view with that. And it's not that it doesn't have readings that are that accurate to one and a half degrees. And besides that, you've got the parallax view. And people have deceived themselves into thinking that these digital thermometers are even more accurate than they were,

or that they always had something like a digital thermometer. In these days of apparent climate crisis, you would think that they would want to maintain these temperature reporting sessions. You would think that would be a top priority, right? If we're all going to die, wouldn't you want to be measuring it? Don't worry about it. We'll just kind of estimate it. That's fine. You know, that kind of casual, nonchalant attitude towards something that they're trying to tell everybody is an existential crisis.

They know they're lying. And you should understand they're lying as well. Again, they let these things expire. And it's not enough of a priority for them to even keep the machines working or the people reading the stuff. And then, of course, where they put them has changed. They didn't have that many of them to start with, and they hadn't been collecting data for very long either. They don't have any information with this stuff. That's why it is a completely made- mcguffin just like the pandemic

was this is a bizarre way of monitoring a climate that is claimed to be an existential threat he said as a matter of fact there is a website called noah crappy n-o-a-a crappy that lists all the ghost or zombie stations their location how long they've been closed, and then links to NOAA's recordings for them. Since Oklahoma City stations are all zombies, interpolation data is coming from as far away as Gainesville, Texas, which is more than 136 miles away, and from Eden, Oklahoma, which is more than 100 miles away.

Fixing temperature reporting stations is not rocket science. It's not even very expensive, but they don't want to bother with it, right? I mean, you could say, if we can send a man to the moon, then you can figure out the rest of this stuff. We can send a man to the moon, but we can't fix a weather station. We got an existential climate thing here based on temperature we gotta know if we're winning or if it's getting worse right well a lot of people talk about the fact on on social media talking about greta thunberg when she got

arrested the fact that she never goes to china to complain about what is happening there in terms of their pollution and their very dirty coal plants. She doesn't go to India either. Have you ever wondered why climate warrior Greta Thunberg rarely, if ever, protests China for being the world's biggest polluter? She never says anything about China. Why doesn't she ever go protest in beijing or anywhere else in china and um so she's also not talking about the report from bloomberg that shows that the world's coal power capacity increased to a new record in 2023 almost all way all of it because of china because everybody else is being forced to shut down coal plants. Coal plants that are far, far, far cleaner than China.

You know, you can make a clean, from an emissions standpoint, you can make a clean diesel, you can make a clean coal power plant. It's more expensive, it's more complicated. Or you can just say, you get a pass and we're not going to do anything about it. China accounts for more than the 66% of the increase followed by Indonesia and India. They are allowed to have cheap, reliable power that they don't have to do any attempts to clean it up at all. And yet the interesting thing is who has the most coal the united states we are the saudi arabia of coal as i talked about many times you know in the late 1980s and everybody said we're going to be out of oil that was the cia you know peak oil that was their narrative that was their lie we're going to be out of oil you know the arabs used that oil embargo to punish us for our support of Israel.

But it went around the world because all the global markets are tied together. So everybody started getting worried about, you know, what are we going to do if we run out of energy? Nobody cares about that anymore. They're going to let them run us out of energy. Nobody even talks about that aspect of it anymore. Isn't that interesting? But, you know, in light of that, you had Newsweek and Time, and I saved those magazines.

They said by the mid-1980s, we're going to be out of oil and natural gas. But we've got another 666 years. That was their figure. Another 666 of coal. And it's all here in the united states well last year china began constructing 70 gigawatts of new coal plants gigawatts marty you know doc would say no it's gigawatts uh but what does that mean that mean anything it doesn't even mean anything to me really put that in perspective. If you take all of the power that is built in the rest of the world combined, this is 20 times that.

All production is being shipped to China because of the energy stuff. It's not, as I've been saying, it's not simply the China price of slave labor, piracy of intellectual property and currency manipulation it is also the fact now they are allowed to have as much and as dirty and as unlimited energy use as they wish and nobody can compete with them whether you're talking about steel or anything else that's why just the sheer economics of it that the western governments have set up they've set up a situation where the economics alone will drive out and shut down the very last steel plant in the uk doing the same thing to american steel plants because we can't compete with them if they can get this cheap power they built 20 times

the amount of power as the rest of the world combined last year peak coal how do we put it well no says javier blaz the world added last year 60 gigawatts of coal fired power capacity the most since 2016. And China accounted for more than two-thirds of the increase, according to the reports that just came out. The big question is, why climate warriors like Greta Thunberg ignore China then? And they ignore India, the world's largest polluters. Now, they leave it in this article as a rhetorical question but the answer is very simple the paris climate accord and that's what uh many of the people who believe

you know the climate alarmists who are true believers said how in the world can you allow client china and india to continue to pollute while you just focus on the rest of the people they have the biggest markets well you, you have three Senate Democrats, and let's talk about nullification. We typically talk about nullification, jury nullification, or states nullifying federal overreach, even sheriffs or something like that,

nullifying people who, you know, interposing and saying, you don't have the authority to do that. Well, we have three Senate Democrats who joined in a GOP campaign to try to nullify Biden's EV unconstitutional rules. Three Senate Democrats crossed the aisle on Wednesday to vote against a plank of the Biden administration's electric vehicle agenda. The problem is that this isn't the key one.

This is the EPA's thing. So you had Joe Manchin, you had Sherrod Brown of Ohio, John Tester of Montana, voted with their Republican colleagues to nullify, to nullify a rule. This one not coming from the EPA. This is coming from the Federal Highway Administration. So it's an FHA. Actually, they call it F, since they already have an FHA.

They call it the FHWA for Highway Administration. It's a rule from them to reduce the number of gas-powered cars, and I guess trucks as well, because they would start putting emission standards using the interstate in the same way that the nixon administration said we built the interstate it's going back and forth between states it was paid for uh with federal funds largely and so we will tell you how fast you can drive on it and you know maybe we'll split some of the money or you can keep the money yourself if you enforce our rule uh this is similar, but it's about emissions. And so you had these Democrats cross over and join with Republicans,

also Kristen Sinema, who is usually caucuses with the Democrats, but she's declared herself to be independent now. Anyway, they passed a nullification resolution to nullify this rule coming from the Federal Highway Administration. Manchin helped to introduce the nullification resolution alongside Republican colleagues, while Brown and Tester each face competitive reelection bids in the 2024 cycle. Biden, however, has said that he will veto the bill. So Biden and his deep swamp, because the president is the king of the swamp.

Trump was king of the swamp. He's got his swamp putting out rules. And the Senate says, not so fast. We're going to specifically nullify that one. And now Biden says, well, I'll veto that. So he's going to nullify their nullification and push this thing through, to put it properly. Now, they should nullify the EPA and the EPA rules, but they should nullify the entire organization. Few things are more frustrating in government than unelected bureaucrats asserting authority they don't have and foisting federal mediocrity on the excellence of states, says North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer, who introduced the legislation. the Biden administration's obvious illegal rule that requires state departments of transportation

to measure CO2 tailpipe emissions and then set declining targets for vehicles traveling on the highway systems of their prospective states. So I guess that means that he's going to try to federally mandate emission states, things like that, which we don't have here. I didn't have it in the county that I was in in Texas, and we don't have it here. So I guess we're going to try to mandate that nonsense again. See, what we have to do is we have to nullify these rules at the state level. They don't have any authority to push this thing through.

What are they going to do? Well, they will hold money or something like that. We need to tell them, keep your money. Keep your money. We're going to go it alone. We need to do that to save our kids and education. We need to do that to save our freedom and transportation. And we need to, the simplest thing that the Senate could do, they come up with a nullification resolution. Why doesn't one senator say, let's have a vote on the Paris Climate Treaty? They forgot to do it. They didn't forget to do it.

They know that they need to do it. Every single one of them knows, and not any of them, not any Republican, not a Democrat, none of them will have a vote on the Paris Climate Accord. Instead, they'll pretend that it was ratified somehow. On Rumble, the progress retort. Thank you for the tip. County control is the target. It's how feds funded climate bunk shows locally through planning organizations.

I recommend Dr. Julian Romanello on Rumble and her channel, Hearts Over Hexagagons on YouTube for schooling. Well, good. I'll look into that. Uh, on rock fan, a Syrian girl says Chinese will kill themselves with their filthy air. My brother has to do business trips over there.

Occasionally some days it isn't even safe to go sightseeing out of doors. Yeah. As a matter of fact, all this COVID stuff kicked off and in Wuhan, in wuhan i remember john rapaport was saying the air pollution there is some of the worst in china and that's saying something because china is so bad you can basically cut it with a knife and move it around uh but it was absolutely he says i think you're gonna start talking about respiratory disease you might want to look at how bad that air pollution is there. We'll be right back. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing.

Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind. Thank you. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, if we don't like what is happening in Washington, there are things that we can do about it. We can do it at the local level, especially, even sometimes at the state level. But ultimately, it's going to be up to each and every one of us. That's what we're going to talk about here. But first, let's begin at the state level. Maine has decided that it is going to jump into the culture war. They are going to have state-sanctioned child mut mutilation tourism i guess you could call it and you got 16 republican attorneys general saying uh you can't do that they're specifically they're

not saying that you can't do whatever you want to within your state but what maine is doing is doing this to to draw specifically to draw people in and to shut off information from the other states. So in a sense, they're openly going to war with states who have different rules about what can or cannot be done to children. A group of Republican attorneys general are sending a warning shot to the state of Maine for a bill under consideration that would effectively establish Maine as a sanctuary state for procedures like child sex change surgeries that the attorneys general say is totalitarian. So bear with me. We'll explain how this thing operates here. would prohibit interference with abortion or sex change procedures, legally protect medical workers from facing lawsuits, and could potentially permit concealment of medical records from plaintiffs

seeking legal action against a provider. See, this is where the legal things start to cross state lines. In other words, a parent whose child went to Maine for a sex change surgery would have no legal recourse, even though they live in a state where such operations are illegal. A group of 16 attorneys general led by Tennessee's Jonathan Scrimetti sent a letter on Monday to Maine's governor, Janet Mills, and Maine's attorney general, Aaron Fry,

and to the state legislature leadership calling the bill a novel effort at state-sanctioned culture war litigation tourism. They said, while it's extremely unusual for states to interject themselves into another state's lawmaking, these 16 attorneys general said this bill is unique constitutional transgressions, and it merits their comment. They said the bill's far-reaching provisions are unprecedented it would apparently form a liability shield to anyone aiding or offering unlawful services to out-of-state citizens and i mean they're soliciting uh the out-of-state business essentially as well soliciting it and then providing legal liability shield.

It would also create a private right of action for damages against law enforcement, prosecutors and other officials and states that are enforcing their respective state laws. So create liability shield, but then also go in and claim that you can sue people in other states, even officials in other states and other things like that. Even if it is a law that has gone to federal courts and been upheld. The AGs write, this purports to block valid orders and judgments from our state courts. Enforcing laws have been upheld by federal appellate courts. They also write the bill's ill-considered attempt to influence and to intimidate officials in other states

could also trigger a rapid tit-for-tat escalation that tears apart our republic. Now, of course, the big proponent of the bill in maine is drum roll you couldn't guess planned parenthood planned parenthood is uh they are jumping into this child mutilation thing in a big way and why would we be surprised they've been mutilating children ripping them apart limb by limb before they're born even for the longest time. This bill is fundamentally about access to health care, says Planned Parenthood. The cynical, transparent lies never stop, do they?

So Maine has every right to decide what Maine's laws are and how those laws should be enforced, says this letter from the attorneys general. But that same right applies to every other state. One state cannot control another. The totalitarian impulse to stifle dissent and to oppress dissenters has no place in our shared America. Well, that's the key. That's the key of what they're trying to do. And so this was from Libs of TikTok. This extremely bizarre video was shown to fourth graders at an elementary school in Georgia. It depicts a dog who thinks he's a cat in order to promote LGBT inclusivity and acceptance. This is what they're teaching your kids in school. Pure propaganda, she says. No, it is pure grooming. Hi, I'm Gulliver and this is Emmett. Hey. Oh, hi. I'm Barry. Oh, hey. We got a rainbow colored collar. We could use another dog. Oh, hi. I'm Barry. Oh, hey. Got a rainbow-colored collar.

We could use another dog. Oh. Nice collar. Yeah. Oh, thank you. I like it. So, what do you want to do first? Gotta point it out. Find a tutorial? Oh, chase our tail?

Oh, I know. Let's sniff. No, actually, I like to play with yarn. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah. Or I like to clean with yarn. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah. Or I like to clean my paws like this. You see, this video is an admission that these young children don't understand the sex and gender thing. We got to do it with puppet, animal puppets.

We could try to meow. Meow. Meow. Meow. Like that. puppet animal puppets. Miss Madison? Miss Madison? Oh, hey, Gulliver. You're back. No problem. Meow! Miss Madison? Miss Madison? Oh, hey Gulliver, you're back. Did you find Barry? Yeah. We've got to talk.

He seems like a nice guy. Oh, great guy, great guy. He thinks he's a cat. He thinks he's a cat? Yeah. He's over there talking about yarn, purring, and licking. Well, that's okay, isn't it?

Well, I think you should talk to him. About what? About being more like a dog. Gulliver, you're really struggling with this. It's weird. It's not weird, just different. I couldn't ask Barry to change who he is. That would make him really sad. Yeah you get the idea without going into any more of this that's what they're showing to young kids and of

course the young kids have to let's let's put it at a level where young kings of course can kids who need to be talked to in that way can they make decisions about something that is going to have going to affect them physically for the rest of their life? Of course they can't. That's the absurdity of all this. But, you know, we have, when it comes to artificial intelligence, this article from Futurism, you have a new artificial intelligence company in Europe. Some people who left open AI and meta meta and now they're one guy is french i

don't know the nationality of the other guys but um they've created this uh ai company mistral in uh the eu and um they're very excited because you, the EU now gets to have an artificial intelligence company instead of them being based in America. And they did this article about him because he said, I am an AI theist. Actually, that is what they put in, an atheist, right? But AI theist. He says, I don't believe in God. I'm a strong atheist. So I don't believe in AGI either.

Artificial general intelligence. You know, that's the interesting thing, isn't it? For the longest time, people like Hugo de Garis, who was an atheist. I don't know if he still is or not. But he would say, he would offer this to people that he met with. He said, if we are going to create something, I think, you know, if we create AGI, we're going to create some kind of a godlike intelligence and it might destroy us. Would you still do that if you knew that you're going to create this godlike intelligence that might just wipe you off because you're nothing more to it than an ant or something uh and um everybody would buy into that i mean there wasn't

anybody that questioned that assumption really they all believed that they could create some godlike intelligence i don't necessarily believe that by the way i'm not saying necessarily i don't believe that uh but um this is the first time i've seen one of these people that's in the ai industry push back against it uh the interesting thing is when he would talk to the scientists they would all say yeah we'd still create this thing even if we knew it was going to kill us all and that's the problem i always had with engineers i mean whether you're talking about, uh, uh, AGI or nuclear weapons or whatever, they push ahead. Like, you know, we blow up this nuclear bomb.

It might just set the entire atmosphere on fire and we might all die. There's a certain percentage that that might happen, you know, well, let's do it anyway. And they have that same attitude to everything. Well, if we create this AGI, it might just kill us all. Well, let's do it anyway. So they are always, they're so focused on solving a puzzle that they don't think or even care about what the consequences would be. Even when you lay out negative consequences and ask them about, typically they don't even think about that. They're so focused on the task, immediate task at hand.

But, you know, this is a big part of where these people are really coming from with transhumanism and the rest of this stuff they believe that uh they are godlike and of course they could create if they're like god uh or godlike beings they can create uh godlike intelligence they can live forever they can transfer whatever they think that they are into a machine or something that's what the technocrats think so i thought it was kind of interesting this is a guy who doesn't share the silicon valley technocrat god complex with these other people he says i don't believe that's going to happen but again you know when you look at um um

whether or not there is a god uh the fool has said in his heart that there is no god because you can see the design you can see it in everything especially today you know back in the psalms said the fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Because night after night, the heavens pour forth knowledge and speech. We see that these things are, we can see it in God's creation. Now we can see it even more so in things like DNA and other things like that. There is no language where their voice is not heard. And yet, this guy at 31, he is an AI champion, and he doesn't think that they have anything to worry about.

Maybe that's what he's putting it out there. Maybe he's just trying to assuage people's fears about what's going to happen. He says, I believe that instead of it being some kind of a Skynet becoming self-aware, he said, I think that the real issue is how it's going to disrupt people's work, disrupt society. And he said, and that is coming faster than the previous revolutions that we had. And he said, it's not coming in 10 years.

It's more like two years. He said, the changes that are going to happen to our economy are going to require swift retraining, and it's going to be coming much faster than we think, he said. Those sorts of predictions are much more tangible, frankly terrifying, than prognosticating about artificial general intelligence. His vision seems to have broad appeal among the European elites. During a recent speech, as transcribed by the Times, a British investor, Matt Clifford,

heralded him as the poster child for AI in France. And so these are the people who are pushing forward this new society. But even more important than the new technology is how do we view ourselves? How do we respond to the types of trans issues that are being pushed on our kids? Well, there's an interesting op-ed piece from Michael Clary. He said, it's going to take plain spoken courage to move the overton window and if we don't control this over overton window folks we're going to be thrown out of it we're going to be defenestrated um it's interesting the overton window was something that's developed by a guy at a libertarian think tank the mackinac center back in the 90s and uh his name was joseph overton Overton. He said that it's public approval or public disapproval

that really drives policy. The Overton window determines that some ideas are mainstream, but some other ideas are extreme. Ethics are not based on objective standards But on a popularity contest And the Overton window is fickle 20 years ago, supporting gay marriage was an extreme position But now it's considered to be mainstream The shift has been so dramatic that it's considered extreme to oppose it Social pressure is its animating force Another example is mutilating the genitals of children.

This was once a barbaric practice that was only happening in third world countries. And we talk about women coming here that were Islamic and female genital mutilation. Nobody talks about that anymore. People say, that's barbarous. But now look at what they're doing. Today, it's done in the suburbs, and it's covered by health insurance. When I was talking about the German minister of, I guess, spying on Germans, domestic intelligence, he said, well, we're not really worried about crime and violence. We're worried about extremists, right?

We're worried about those people who are outside of the Overton window. And that's true. They are following the interesting people, as Michael Hayden said. They don't have to see you as violent or a criminal. You just have to be somebody who is going to be moving the culture, moving what people think. And then you become a person of interest, somebody that they want to shut down. Labels are very powerful. Labels are how they do this. Labels are how they frequently move the overturned window.

That's why I say we've got to reject those. Don't call yourself red. You're not a red state. Red's always been the color of communism. That's why they're trying to use it, because their tactics are the tactics of communism. Instead of a struggle session or whatever, well, we got woke, DEI and that type, but it's all the Marxist tactics.

They just try to relabel it, and they try to make it look good. So we'll call ourselves woke, or we won't call you pro-life. We will call you anti-abortion rights and on and on. Most people want to be considered reasonable and moderate. So nobody wants to be labeled as an extremist, a radical or an alarmist, right? Or racist. That's the other thing, right? You could be talking about climate.

Oh, you're racist. You're white privilege and all the rest of this stuff. Shame can drive public opinion, leading people to self-censor or to adapt their views so they're not cast into outer darkness with the rest of the deplorables. That was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump during the plandemic,

the non-essential businesses and workers, right? Which one is worse? Is it worse to be a deplorable or a non-essential? The Overton window is a sociological phenomenon. No one directly controls it. The majority doesn't move the Overton window. The Overton window moves the majority. The window itself is moved by whoever has the courage

and the influence to move it in their direction. A motivated minority with a compelling message can make a difference. For example, for over a year now, pearl-clutching and hand-wringing regime evangelicals have policed the Overton window with warnings about how Christian nationalism will destroy our gospel witness in the public square. Doug Wilson, Pastor Doug Wilson, considered a chief proponent of Christian nationalism, though he prefers to speak of mere Christendom,

remains unmoved by the pressure to keep silent about Christ's lordship over government. His affable demeanor combined with his reasonable articulation of biblical principles has earned him a significant following of ordinary Christians who are hungry for bold leadership. That's why Tucker Carlson had him on with the title for his interview, Pastor Doug Wilson is the Christian Nationalist They Warned You About. And so he says, to give another example,

Dusty Devers was an obscure Baptist pastor in Oklahoma who had the guts to defy the rhetorical overlords and move the window to the right. So what were his controversial views? He believes abortion is murder. Well, you know, so does Bill Maurer. He's just okay with it, right? And if somebody's okay with it,

he's saying he believes abortion is murder, and mothers who abort their children should be prosecuted as criminals, not treated as secondary victims. Well, I disagree with that. I think some women are victims. I think some of them are criminals. You have to make that determination. I wouldn't categorically say it one way or the other.

I think some women just say, just like Bill Maher, they say, yeah, it's murder and I'm okay with it. He also believes pornography is a social disaster that destroys marriages and increases sex addiction and human trafficking and child exploitation. Devers had the nerve to campaign precisely on these issues and he won a state senate seat. He then had the gall to keep his campaign promise by introducing legislation to outlaw pornography and abolish abortion in his state. Predictably, the outrage machine fired up. He got a lot of derisive coverage from Rolling Stone magazine and Jimmy Fallon. Again, you have any state-level activism, you're going to get the eye of Sauron

on you. They understand that's where things change. The press coverage wasn't an expected gift. It forced a public debate that thrust his local message into the national debate. Videos of women smiling and dancing around and celebrating their abortions got a lot of traction and helped to underscore what he was saying, that these women are not victims. They're celebrating the murder of their own children. Deaver's strategy to go on the offense highlighted wicked practices and exposed as distractors for defending them. Christians easily fall into the trap of letting the Overton window frame how issues are presented.

For example, every discussion of homosexuality must include some reference to how homosexuals are made in God's image, though no discussion of any other sin has such qualifications. When bolder Christians do speak plainly on these matters, other Christians get nervous, so they join in denouncing their fellow believers and accusing them of being un-Christlike and lacking the proper tone. This is what we just saw this last week with this men's conference with John Lindell putting a male stripper on a pole up, and then Mark Driscoll calling him out, and then John Lindell kicking him off. And then a few hours later, they come back and essentially kiss and make up and all the rest of the stuff. And now part three of this constant soap opera. Now, John Lindell has called out Mark Driscoll again.

I mean, you know, I stopped covering it because it's turned into a soap opera. But, you know, this is the type that you must not say anything. You must not say anything about me because i'm in a position of leadership was what john lindell was saying so they scold christian brothers and sisters with fine-sounding admonitions like the world is watching they insist our christian prophetic witness be limited to whatever the overton window will allow this is michael clary who's writing this in the past 10 years or so the overton window has rapidly lurched much further to the left, pressuring Christians into an ever-accommodating posture. Yet, the far left is typically among the most unstable, quick-tempered, oversensitive, easily offended

people in our society. The threat of enduring angry outbursts from them is enough to cause many Christians to get into a posture of appeasement and to cower in silence. But in the long term, what you're doing is rewarding irrational behavior. No one wants to trigger an unpleasant scene, so we choose the seemingly sensible route of saying nothing and going along to get along. This strategy allows the Overton window to continue moving in ways that further suppress our public voice. So, see, sooner or later, we may find ourselves unable to speak at all. And so, when you look at what happened at a school recently you had kids who walked out to get attention because they were being bullied by kids who dressed up as furries I guess they took that little video literally the Yes, yes, yes. But every time we go, they're always just wearing a mask. But the principal finally stood up and banned those folks.

But they still wear them every day. And they don't get in trouble. The principal doesn't make them get in trouble. All the principal says is just be kind, be nice, be nice. And then... What's the point of dressing up like a furry? I don't know. It's to get attention.

It's attention. They think they're so cool that they want to be named. It think they're so cool that they want to be named. They think they want attention. So people can come at them and just look at them and think that they're so cool. Okay. Are you guys going to be in trouble for walking out of school today? No. Maybe. If we go back on school grounds, we will get in trouble.

If we go back on school grounds, we will get in trouble. If we stay here, then we're not feeling like school. Hopefully not. We're standing for everybody. This is wrong. We're standing for what the furries are wrong. Do your parents know you guys are out here? Yes!

They attack us. They bite us and we just kick them. We get in trouble. They attack us. They attack us and we get in trouble. How else do they attack you guys? They bite us, they scratch us, they bark at us. They pounce on us. They pounce on us.

And then I... They run on all fours and pounce on people. Why are they spraying you with Febreze? Just because they don't... Because we apparently have rabies. And there's a rumor that they were putting litter boxes in the girls' bathroom. And the boys. They were putting litter boxes.

I heard that was just a rumor. No, it's not. No, it's true. Is it something you've seen? Yeah. So we can't talk or say anything to the furries or even look at them, but they can come look at us and they can say stuff to us and touch us. And they can get in trouble, but we get in trouble. Interesting.

That sounds like a double standard to me. Yes. Okay, you guys stay on the sidewalk, okay? Yeah. I think those kids are starting to learn the lesson, right? Experience is an expensive teacher and they're getting the experience. And so they're tired of this tyranny. They're tired of these crazy kids who are acting like spoiled brats, putting litter boxes in the girl's bathroom.

And of course they bite them them scratch them and other things and then there's this this is um a mother telling a tranny sorry you're not coming in the bathroom where my girl is of girls and women i'm asking you telling, please do not use women's spaces. It makes them feel uncomfortable. My girls and the other women I am with are very comfortable with me in the bathroom. Right. Well, fortunately, I'm not your daughter and my daughter is also not your daughter. That's right. And she would feel very uncomfortable. No, I'm sorry. No, you interrupted me.

Excuse me. You interrupted me. That's you, Mike. Right. I would like to ask you to please call up your daughter I beg your pardon I am asking you as a mother I am asking you as a mother

do not use female spaces it makes women feel very uncomfortable you are not how dare you I am very you never birthed your children you are not a mother just call him out sorry you're not a mother. You'll never birth your children. You're not a mother, Don.

Just call him out. Sorry. You're not a woman. You're not a mother. What a freak show. It is. But this is what we've allowed because, look, people are finally standing up to this stuff.

In the same way, it took a very long time for people to stand up to Fauci and the rest of this nonsense. I'm not wearing a mask. I'm not getting your jab. I'm not going to stay in my house and all the rest of this stuff. People finally got to the point where they're fed up with this. And as he points out, when a far left activist is invited to speak on a college campus, conservative students typically ignore it. They go on with their lives.

They don't riot or protest or do sit-ins because we believe in free speech and we value responsible citizenry. But the left doesn't do that. They have outrage mobs that show up even though the far left does not represent most of the population today they exert outsized influence on the overton window appeasing the left is easier than opposing them every mother of a toddler has been tempted to yield to his demands in a candy or grocery store to avoid embarrassing scenes. Wise mothers know that's a losing strategy. Rewarding bad behavior only leads to more of it.

The far left controls the Overton window the same way. If a 50-year-old man who's been faithful employee for two decades at his company refuses to use preferred pronouns of the newly hired 23-year-old dude wearing makeup and a dress. He knows that he will be the villain, the 50-year-old long-term employee. He'll be reported to human resources. He'll be required to attend sensitivity training. But the rabid, immature left will continue shaping public opinion on a variety of issues, not because their ideas are better, but because everyone else appeals to them to avoid a scene. But we're not without options. The Overton window

can move when a motivated minority is willing to joyfully endure the derision of the left long enough for their collective voices to be heard. This is Michael Clary, and he says, now he references Solzhenitsyn, he says, they must be willing to live not by lies, as Solzhenitsyn said. Plain spoken truth moves the public opinion as reasonable views are articulated with clarity, force, courage, and joy. They must be prepared to endure reprisal from the left,

which will surely come. Ordinary people may open up to persuasion as a variety of voices convincingly articulate reasonable positions. When three or four become 20 or 30, they may think, well, this is starting to make sense. Difficult social problems will not be resolved as long as angry, irrational mobs control public discourse. The need of the hour is godly Christian leaders stepping up to the microphone, plainly articulating positions that may seem laughable at first. Through persistence, they can keep issues alive long enough for people to get used to hearing them, then perhaps persuading enough of them in order to move the needle. Clear-headed Christians have been bullied into silence for far too long. The Overton window shifts with public perception, starting with a few bold,

articulate, prophetic voices that arrest the public's attention. As the number of influential voices grow, the ideas they articulate gain credibility. Their persistence creates a snowball effect that eventually persuades even greater numbers. And the cacophony of sober-minded voices can give the public a roadmap for approaching difficult subjects. We've seen this happen as people challenged the regime's COVID narrative in the early stages. The Overton window kept people silent and compliant. Anyone who questioned the narrative was considered to be a heartless buffoon who didn't care about saving lives.

Since then, however, the window has shifted in the opposite direction. And, you know, we had, as all that was happening, we had a lot of religious leaders that were shaming people as well. And people like Al Mohler, you had Franklin Graham, you had the Pope, you had all these different people out there doing the work of the administration and trying to keep that there. But those who are pushing masks and endless vaccine boosters now seem ridiculous because reasonable people have shown over and over again that the regime was lying. Now, Michael Cleary doesn't say Trump, but it was the Trump regime. It was the Trump regime that gave us the lockdowns and the masks, and it was the Trump regime

that was lying. And folks, we don't want to live by lies. And we don't want to live by Trump's lies either. Whoever you're most worried about offending is the person who controls you. If the left is who you fear offending the most, they are your masters and you are their slaves. Who are you not allowed to criticize? It says, fear God, speak plainly. If we are slaves of who we are most afraid of offending, then may God be the one that we fear offending. If pleasing others is our driving energy,

may God be the one that we most aim to please. God is not pleased by pandering, vague, man-fearing sophistry. What pleases God is courageous men and women speaking plainly and humbly, bringing the sort of clarity that pierces hard hearts and builds up soft hearts. Courage is the greatest threat to the regime. And it is contagious. Plain spoken courage is contagious. And it can move the Overton window.

Well, that's exactly right. That's an excellent op-ed piece by Mark Cleary. And we need to all understand that, you know, this is something that is going to be all of these issues that we face. And it has never been more so this way. A coordinated effort to make you feel isolated. A coordinated effort to make you feel like you are the only one who understands what this is or thinks this way. A coordinated effort to push out lies and to shut down the truth.

To shut down anything that pushes back against the regime. And so you've got to have a backbone. You've got to understand who it is that you fear, who it is that you want to please. And then stick to that. On Rumble, Radis Bro bro thank you for the tip because the furries are a very homosexual genre i don't get how parents let their children learn about it it's not like furry forums are for children i yeah it is um furries are some of the worst people on the internet the number of them that have been exposed as zoo files and necrophiles is legitimately astounding and horrifying

well and you know i said from the very beginning of this the transgender stuff is they're coming to kids that was a way of pushing pedophilia because if you say a kid can consent to mutilating their body if they have that kind of maturity they can consent to sex but it's now beyond that this is really uh these are the shock troops to push us into transhumanism and into virtual reality. And that's one of the, I think that's a key part, don't you, Travis, of what this furry stuff is about. It's about living in a fantasy world because, look, pretty soon they can just stay in their little cubicle and, you know, run on their mat or whatever. And they'll have, you know, a VR headset and they can just live in this virtual reality all their life. And that pleases people like Yuri, what's the guy? Noah, Yuri. Anyway, the guy that always is talking about this from-

Yuval Harari. Yeah, Yuval Harari. Thank you. Yeah, just got a brain freeze there. Yuval Harari says, we're going to control people by keeping them in this virtual reality world and having them play games. And we'll give them drugs and the rest of the stuff. And they won't be a problem for us. We can then own the world and do whatever we wish. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to be joined by Gerald Salenti.

And, of course, if you go to TrendsJournal.com dot com you can save 10 on a subscription if you use the code night it's an amazing publication he now used to do it on a i think a quarterly basis or something monthly and now it's on a weekly basis he's got like 300 pages worth of articles it's in a magazine format online and um so it is uh and always ahead of the trends we're going to talk about some of the trends that he had picked this year and how they are at the very top unfortunately one of those trends

has been war and that has brought itself to the forefront thank you for joining us gerald thank you for having me and again it's only two dollars and fifty cents a week for the magazine and you know the fact that they're one of our top trends this year was a golden year for gold yeah nobody in the world said this is a golden year for gold and gold prices are up now 340 dollars more than when we made this forecast on january 2nd of this year that's right. Yeah, a big jump and bigger than the stock market and anything else, actually. And this is just the beginning, by the way. And when I say when they subscribe through night,

it costs them the grand total of $2.50 a week. This is the Wall Street Journal, $ five dollars a day you see that important story in the top is that on their tippy toes ballerinas hit the tip top five dollars for this crap yeah yeah then you go to the toilet paper record. They call themselves the paper record, the New York slime. You see this story about this poor guy who lost his arm over there in Ukraine? Mm-hmm. They don't show pictures of the little Palestinian children blown to pieces.

No, they don't count. Yeah. This is the propaganda that you're getting from the media. We're giving the people everything that they can get. Just to show you the arrogance and stupidity, this is the business section of the New York Times Sunday, $6. That is the business section of this stupid picture that used to be one time. It used to be all articles. Yeah.

Yeah. A showman for the age of combative spectacles. Donna White, a violent sports boss, has amassed considerable clout one page after another about this stupid crap yeah pay six dollars a day to get this people are getting no news they're just getting worthless junk that's right that And again, this is the, it shows you the propaganda, right? This is today's toilet paper record. Columbia called in law enforcement Thursday to empty an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters. How about anti-war protesters?

No, no, you're pro-Palestinian if you're against israel's genocide that's how they sell the propaganda and hate it's always about the labels for palestinian it has to do with anti-genocide yeah it's always about the labels as i said earlier you know you're not pro-life you are anti-abortion rights you know that type that type of thing. They always pick the labels, don't they? Yep. That's the, that's the key thing.

That is the high ground, you know, and we just had Trump explaining how Gettysburg worked, you know, don't fight up the hill. Me boys don't fight up the hill. Well, we don't want to use their labels because if we use our labels,

we're going to be fighting up the hill. Me boys. So he actually said that, but it's a, it is is it is comical what they do except that it is a total distraction isn't it yeah again a total distraction one of our top trends to give you an example is it's going to be a banking bust like we've never seen in history of the world part one of part Going back again, tracking trends is the understanding of where we are and how we got here to see where we're going.

So you go back to the COVID war. Go back into your house. You can't go to work. So now people staying at home day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. And they're saying, I'm not going back. I'm getting up at five o'clock, five30 in the morning to commute an hour and a half. I hated driving.

I hated going to this. I'm not doing it anymore. It costs me all this money. All right, stay home. I'm the guy that has, let's say, 10 floors. I got all these people in little cubicles. Yeah, I don't need it. I don't see it anyway.

Stay home. Now, your office, vacancy rate, vacancy rate in San Francisco is over 30%. In New York City, vacant. Nobody in the buildings, 23%. Portland, Oregon, 29%. One after another. All right. 29% one after another alright how are you going to pay your your debt on your mortgage

that's come in due 4 trillion dollars worth of commercial real estate that's coming in the next two and a half years 4 trillion dollars they're not going to pay this stuff the banks are going to go bust I'm going to give you an example

of how the mainstream media, this is from Reuters Wednesday, U.S. regional banks see booking more commercial property losses and loan sales. They go on to say that scrutiny of regional banks has increased after Silicon Valley Bank collapsed,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then they go on to say, again, that at the end of the article, there's a much more dramatic drop in values than with the market in 2023, they said. Analysts, however, you ready? Do not expect turmoil for the banking sector's exposure to commercial real estate. Right here. Won't be a problem at all. At the end.

Yeah. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about. Don't worry. Everything's fine. Yeah. Of course, it will Don't worry. Everything's fine. Yeah. Of course, it will be all fine for the big guys. They're going to be bailed out as usual with all the rest of the stuff. But this kind of economic chaos is going to run through. And even when they locked everybody down and said, you know, stay home, work from home,

or we'll just send you a government check and that type of thing. Getting people used to being at home, isolated, don't travel. You're not going to go anywhere. You're going to get help from the government. Any and every one of these financial problems that they create is going to be used as a way to push us into universal basic income, to a CBDC, to a government ID, so that as a pressure relief. All of those things are going to be pushing us toward that, aren't they? We're going to see that accelerate, aren't we? It's not going to make any difference,

because we're going to be annihilated in nuclear war. Yeah. And people don't get it. It's right in front of everybody's eyes. We have demonic people running the world. And as we warned, again, you go back to your Trends Journal, January, excuse me, February 22nd, 2022, two days before Russia and the Ukraine war started, we said that Ukraine should negotiate for peace.

It went from COVID war to Ukraine war to world war if this continues and we've been warning that as ukraine loses which we said they're going to lose in the beginning they're going to use a major false flag event attack a nuclear power plant or something else to get support from the united states and nato they've already attacked a nuclear power plant last week and they're going to keep escalating yeah and then the israel war look what's going on we've been warning about this uh all righty ready for this big story yesterday bank of america oil prices could hit 130130 a barrel this year. Yes, I saw that.

Yeah, you saw that? Yeah. Go back to your Trends Journal. We used week after week after week since January. And again, the videos are there. It's in your Trends Journal. We said oil prices, Brent crude could hit $130 a barrel. We can save this now for four months.

Bank of America said it yesterday. It was big news. I know. Isn't that frustrating? Get no respect. No. The Rodney Dangerfield. I'm a little guinea from the Bronx.

So, you know, hey, what do I know? I only have bestselling books. Trends to that. Trend tracking. Far better than Megatrends. Time magazine. Trend tracking. International bestseller.

What the hell do I know? I've only been writing the Trends Journal since 1991 and been at this since 1980. And only call things like, oh, here's your Trends Journal, dot-com bust. When's that? Oh, fall of 1999. We said it happened by the second quarter 2000 so going back to this what's going on now with oil and why what you're saying about you know none of that's going to make a difference world war three has begun we have evil demonic people in charge they're only interested in

themselves they're narcissistic sociopathic evil people yeah oh yeah i've been talking about johnson this week i call him machiavellian mike now since he that little speech that he gave uh i i'm a wartime speaker literally he said uh that's how he sees himself now he is a wartime speaker he's wartime concierge you know or whatever but he's you know i i this is a war this is a literal war and so we have to do this it's amazing to watch how this guy has just rapidly evolved to push any and every war and and to completely forget about the border for example even though uh if they were worried at all about the election, you would think they would at least try to pretend that they cared, right? That's how I said earlier, Gerald.

It amazes me that here in an election year, they will ignore the border, which by more than two and a half to one, people are concerned about versus Ukraine, right? So he completely ignores it. He could easily, since they don't care about the deficit, what's the big deal? You know, put $100 million at the border or whatever. It isn't going to make it.

The stuff that they were going to do was just window dressing anyway. They could throw money at it and say, look, we're doing something. But that's the contempt that they have for the American people and for the election even. I think that they're looking at this and saying, well, we've already decided who's going to win, and we don't really even care what the voters think anymore. That's what it looks like to me.

They don't even pretend. Well, again, the it's not going to make when all else fails, they take you to war. Yeah, that's right. People keep asking me on interviews, you know, who do I see winning the election? I say you can't call it. And I've been at this, you know, a lot of years. election i say you can't call it and i've been at this you know a lot of years you go back to the trench journal magazine we call trump a winner in may of 2016 when we when everybody said he was going to lose this is a whole different game going on right now yeah they're going to do anything they can to stay in power and when you go to war

the people support the president that's running the show again all you had to do is go back to 2001 when um little georgie bush got just got into office we were in a deep recession the dot-com bust happened and then 9-11 happens what happens we're going to get that guy osama bin laden dead or alive a little boy of nothing a little daddy's boy 88 of the people swallowed the crap spewing out of the mouth of that clown boy yeah well you know even when you look at what johnson is doing i mean he's even politico is saying you know how did uh biden and johnson lock arms on all this stuff and of course trump is just staying off the side just to see which way the wind is blowing.

But you're right. They're going to go with, you know, take us into war. They're going to say, well, we're the guys who are in charge. You don't want to change horses in the middle of the stream in the middle of a war that we just started. You know, that that'd be no disqualification. The fact that we're the guys who started the war. So you don't want to change anything. Just leave us there it truly is amazing to me the arrogance uh that he has exhibited

towards um uh the republican voters toward the rest of the other people in the conservative part of the republican party he doesn't even try to pretend any of this stuff and he is completely um in lockstep with everything that biden wants do, even including not just the war stuff, but even including the massive increase in the IRS, which is another way of going to war with the American people. It's amazing how in a short period of time he goes there, but of course he got $20 million in his first quarter as speaker. So he's getting paid off handsomely.

Again, a little clown clown a little clown boy yeah little boy of nothing i would love i would love to call these guys out man to man i'd love to say you little bastard who the hell do you think you are yeah you're a public servant could you get that in your head you're a little nothing you're a little nothing that's what the people should be doing but there's no fight yeah the only thing i've seen jd vance i talked about this earlier in the show jd vance uh and there was a long article where he had an interview with politico and i thought it was a very even article uh but he was questioning the whole idea of the american empire he said you know this this aid that we got going on right now

these these four packages like 100 $100 billion to Ukraine and to Israel and everything. He says that's one aspect of it, because we need to completely rethink this international rules-based order nonsense. This is working out really well for a few people in Washington, but not the rest of America. The rest of us are really, yeah, and this is not working for us. And so he's kind of taking on the essence of it.

And so that was encouraging to see that. But again, it's just one senator. Yeah, just one guy. Doesn't mean anything. Yeah. And again, going back to this thing, the hypocrisy of going on now of the slaughter of people in front of everybody's eyes. And it just keeps going on. They're going to escalate this rafa invasion now now that they got this out of the way well we got we we retaliated against iran you know they sent that missile in there what i suggest everybody consider doing

you know george galloway he had an interview with scott ritter right after iran launched the attack against israel last week right and ritter made this really clear because the headlines from the west were and from israel israel and the West knocked down 99% of it. No, no, that's not what happened at all. And Ritter makes it really clear. And from the Israeli side, this is from the Israeli news, it cost them to stop what Iran did, $1.3 billion. Yeah, I covered that.

Yeah, exactly. You covered that. And 10%, it only cost Iran to do it. Yeah, exactly. You covered that. And 10% it only cost Iran to do it. Yeah, exactly. A new kind of asymmetric warfare, right? It's kind of like, you know, we go in with heavy, expensive equipment and they've got cheap, improvised roadside bombs, that kind of asymmetric warfare. Well, this is a financial side of it as well. And of course, we look at what's happening with the drones.

That's another kind of asymmetric warfare that's happening in ukraine but but but what did did ritter focus on the financial aspect of it as as the is the real issue the financial aspect and how successful iran was iran showed them iran didn't hit any civilian targets they did this purposely what they did they have the ability to wipe out israel again scott ritter there's nobody that i know of him and colonel mcgregor these are two guys that are in in deep in the military side yeah yeah they know what they're talking about. Yes. And, and I suggest that they go to,

you go to Galloway and, and, and see this, this, this thing. And then here, here's the, here is the,

here is the hypocrisy. Brussels eyes, expansion, eyes, expansion of sanctions on Iran after direct attack. U.S. announces a fresh set of sanctions yesterday on Iran, targeting it. Wait a minute. You're putting sanctions on Iran for attacking Israel.

How about putting sanctions on Israel for attacking Iran? Yeah, that's right. Why you anti-Semite? Why you Jew hater? How dare you say that? They're the chosen people. They could kill anybody they want, anywhere, any place, anyhow they want to do it.

No sanctions on them. Matter of fact, let's give them more money to kill more people. Yeah. Yeah, the only person that i saw writing about this that that uh really got it right everybody was saying well you know this is um uh what is uh israel going to do now they've been attacked by iran it's like well what about that first attack uh ron paul said uh you know that was a retaliation uh for their retaliation are we going to have a retaliation for the retaliation?

And as I said, it's going to be like the Hatfields and the McCoys if you keep going down that road. Because it was initially the assassination of these two military figures. And that's what kicked it off. And, you know, in an embassy that was there. And that was an attack on their native soil and so then it escalates and retaliation so now israel says that they want to retaliate against the retaliation and then iran promises that they will do that so yeah it's going to rapidly escalate it's now getting direct which

is what um israel and the u.s has always wanted they've always wanted to go back and to go against iran and yet how did we get the Ayatollahs in charge? Well, that all began when we did a coup back in the 1950s, but nobody goes back to that either. It's just like that. They don't go back and look and say, how did we get to this point where we had such radicalized Iran in the first place?

And has our policy really been working or has it been counterproductive and it really has been counterproductive blowback no you're 100 right what you're saying and and the people have no no clue of this at all you ready this is my book trend tracking that i wrote in 1989 far better than megatrends time magazine you talk about the what happened in about the shah right the fall of the shah and i and i say i write about this is when i became a political atheist and a trend forecaster all they did was teach us just like they teach us to hate the russians that they taught us to hate the iranians when the revolution began in the late 1970s yeah never a mention about the united states overthrow the

democratically elected government the victorianic of um mozadegh brought to you by the cia and the mi6 because mozadegh had the nerve the gall to say no the oil belongs to the iranian people it doesn't belong to anglo-iranian oil better known today as bp or standard oil better known today as exxon mobil i write about it and that's how i became a trend forecaster exactly what you're saying and that's when i became a political atheist yeah and again so here we are now you know as trump said we'll go over there and we'll take the oil doing the same thing in syria right they don't bother with a coup they just send in military people to occupy the oil fields and steal the oil and then when we get shot at oh those uh whoever it was shot at us like can you believe they shot at american troops in syria well what are we doing

in syria i mean that nobody ever talks about what are we doing in syria how did we get into the situation we're illegally invaded it to steal their oil. Like I said, you think we would have been in the Iraq war if their major export was broccoli? Yeah. Yeah. Except what we did is look what we did to Libya. Overthrowing the most people have more rights in Libya on the Gaddafi and benefits than anywhere in Africa and much of the world.

Yeah. I want that guy Gaddafi out of there. Oh, no, you have to say it properly. Gaddafi, out of there. Oh, no, you have to say it properly. Gaddafi has to go, folks. Obama, he was always folking us. Remember?

Folks, folks. Yeah. Yeah. We saw he died, as Hillary said. Yeah. And what she saw was the fact that he was setting up a banking system in competition to the European central banks, and that had to go uh it is uh it's absolutely amazing and and it is you know we just have to keep plugging away i think the

only thing that we can do is just keep telling the truth and pointing to this and telling people that we have to uh stop this idea of the american empire we have to stop this idea that all these people over there i think they're dangerous and so we need to take them out before they take us out that is a prescription for unending war that's what we've been doing since world war ii we've been acting like the japanese at pearl harbor that is a prescription for unending war and uh and never having any peace it was actually actually kind of funny you know in this article where they were talking to jd vance about the american empire and so well this guy sounds really isolationist and they're critiquing him of course

and and uh saying you know well this is what he wants i said oh that's exactly what george washington wanted you know no entangling alliances with anybody we focus on putting actually putting america first uh people want that and yet they try to demonize that as if that is some kind of a bad thing. It's amazing. Who's the they? Politico. Yeah, Politico was doing that. No, no, who's the they?

They demonize you. Everybody, yeah. So here, you mentioned George Washington, right? Mm-hmm. This is farewell address. It is our true policy to steer clear of a permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world. Screw you, Washington. I'm fat boy Lloyd Austin.

I kill people in Iraq. I kill people in Afghanistan. I'm the secretary of defense. My last job was with Raytheon, the largest defense contract, second largest defense contractor in America. Screw you, Washington. He goes on. Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred, like they've taught us an habitual hatred about Iran and Russia, an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness. Oh, we love Israel. Oh, they're so wonderful. And we love the most corrupt country in Europe, Ukraine. Oh, we love them so much the nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness you ready is in some degree a slave yeah that's right it is a slave to its animosity or to its affection either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and interests. Washington.

Yeah. And they got the nerve to call you an isolationist. Yeah. Hey, that's so what's your favorite war? You know, I, I, the Vietnam war I grew up during, it was wonderful. I liked the first Iraq War better than the second Iraq War. Oh, the Afghan War was just wonderful. We were so successful

in all those wars. Yeah. It cost us tens and tens of trillions of dollars to kill millions and millions of people, but great success for nothing. And they call you an isolationist. Wes, this is a stupidity in

front of everybody's eyes well we had uh machiavelli and mike uh played the clip earlier today uh he said uh well i want to send bullets so we don't have to send american boys it's like what what nonsense is that we don't have to send either one we mind our own business but you want to send the bullets because the people who are writing you checks is what's going on here truly amazing yeah yeah he's got people working for him that were lobbyists for companies in ukraine and other things like that it he's a piece of corruption is just unbelievable and um yeah he doesn't have anything at all uh any concern at all for america for america's safety or security the national security stuff is antithetical to americans america's safety and security uh but it's also all across europe we're seeing the same type of

stuff one of the uh top articles you got at trends journal finland's new president says to nato less talk more war yep what's going on there again finland yeah finland got 5.5 million people yeah what do you talk this little arrogant little boy talking about yeah you know what's off the map like that all of europe is talking about more war stoltenberg vandalian or vandalion whatever her name is again oh holy women were in charge or bearbach the other clown over in germany hitlery clinton who you mentioned before samantha power susan rice with condoleezza rice one little warmongering freak after another i'm tired of this racism sexism crap good and bad comes in every race creed and color they're ramping up world war three that's why i said to you we're not going to have to worry about

the economic consequences of what's going to happen if we don't stop the world from going to war that's right that's right but of course you know we do hedge our bets on this stuff you know if world war three doesn't come out we do need to we still have other threats that they're coming uh at us with that's why the the economic stuff the forecasts about gold and other trends are still very important aren't they oh again gold prices have gone up over 350 dollars an ounce since we made that forecast and it's we can see gold prices hitting three thousand dollars an ounce so this is just the beginning of it now here this is important that's what i wanted to ask you was where do you see that because you called the oil price pretty spot on there with

bank of america finally caught up to it at 130 a barrel uh and so we've had uh people predicted uh 3 000 2700 4 000 one of them did i think that was ubs i think they put 4 000 you know what are you looking at if um the war doesn't break out and we keep going down you know um uh with a threat of war as well as inflation all the rest of these things well gold prices are going to go up for three reasons. One's going to be the banking bust. I'm just going to give you an example. Again, I gave you one example of how they underplay the news. This is from the Wall Street Journal yesterday.

Tech giants trim office space. Dealing landlords major blow At the very end of the article Right down here San Francisco's office vacancy rate I got it wrong before Hit a record You ready? 36.7 percent in the first quarter according to cbre you know what it was before the covid war the vacancy rate okay 3.6%. Wow. Wow. 10 times. 3.6% vacancy in 2019.

36.2% vacancy rate. Wow. Not a mention, not a mention in here about the banks going bust and how this is going to hit them. The amount of new office space technology companies leased fell by almost half in the fourth quarter of last year compared to 2019.

Office space listed for sublease in 30 cities with a lot of technology tenants has risen to the highest levels ever. 168.4 million square feet of office space is for sublease in the first quarter. In other words, they're trying to get rid of their leases. Not a word in here of how it's going to bring down the banking system. That's number one.

Number two, in the run-up to the presidential reality show, which they call an election, they're going to lower interest rates to keep the power in power in power. Our Fed head, former Fed head, Janet Yellen, is now the Treasury Secretary. Shows you who's running the country. They want to keep her there in power. They're going to lower interest rates

to artificially boost up the economy and to run up to the election. The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls. And the dollar, by the way, the death of the dollar is coming. The lower the dollar falls, the cheaper it is for other countries to buy gold.

So the higher gold prices are going to go. Now let's go to China. We had forecast the 20th century was the American century, but the 20th century, 21 american century but the 20th century 21st century would be the chinese century because the business of china is business and the business of america has been war that changed when china launched the covid war on chinese lunar new year the year of the rat january 2020 they locked down the country for three years with zero COVID policy. Now let's, again,

you got to put the trends together. Slime ball murderers, every time he got caught with his pants down, bombs his way over Baghdad, Bill Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization. Officially, they came in two weeks after 9-11 was nobody was paying attention you look at china's gdp before they got into the world trade organization it's like this they get in skyrockets the country was overbuilt with a boom chinese real estate accounts for over 30 percent of china's GDP. It was a boom that was going to go bust anyway, but three years of zero COVID policy made a bad situation very worse.

Going back to gold. Retail sales of gold in China this year increased 25% so far. Central Bank of China, biggest buyer of gold they know how bad it is as do other central banks now why else is gold price going up the ukraine war but particularly the israel war

israel is going to keep ramping this up this is just the beginning of the end you have demonic crazy people in charge. Who's your favorite guy? You like that guy, Ben-Giv? No, I like that guy, Smutrik. No, I like Netanyahu. He's just wonderfully kind and loving. That's why gold prices are going to go up.

And, of course, what we've seen is, even as when they got worried about gold going up really quickly, I pointed this out a couple of days ago. You had about 10 different people affiliated with the Federal Reserve talking about how they were going to keep interest rates high. They weren't going to cut them. You know, we know that they're going to cut it before the election. But they're putting out, you know, to get everybody, oh, well, they're not going to cut interest rates anymore. And they did that in order to try to take gold down. All they did was, it didn't go down, but it's held its own.

And so they weren't having much of an effect. They weren't having their desired effect on it, you know, by saying we're going to keep interest rates high. They were hoping to take it down. As you point out, even though it was hitting new records, you still had the chinese central bank still buying more and more of it and then what is going on with the gold etfs they had to um cancel trade on that for a while didn't they yeah yeah going up so high here this is from financial times i talk about the death of the dollar right massive u.s deficit poses quote significant risk to the world economy one's imf the international mafia fed a monetary fund

excuse me all right yeah it's right here in front of everybody's eyes the united states debt's increasing 100 trillion dollars excuse me me, $1 trillion every 100 days. Yeah, that's right. That's right. There's going to be a banking bust. This thing's got, but again, when all else fails, they take it to war. Here, rents are still rising and fueling inflation.

No kidding. Oh, March home sales, they dropped because interest rates, mortgage rates are now 7.5 oh but again everybody said nearly everybody that when mortgage rates went up that the cost of housing would go down we said no ain't gonna happen housing prices Housing prices are going to keep going up, and so is inflation. So you ready? Mm-hmm. The median price of existing home sold in March, $393,000, up 4.8% from a year before.

Wow. Yeah, I had an article earlier this week. They were saying that doctors on Long Island who make $350,000 a year can't afford to buy a house there. And this was not on the part of Long Island that's always been the Gatsby's and stuff like that. This is like in Suffolk County,

where my wife is from. So this is like suburban Long Island. They uh you know where my wife is from so it's um this is like suburban long island they can't afford to buy a house there because interest rates are so high because they've essentially shut down building you know put all kinds of um regulations and uh inflated the cost of building and make it difficult for people to build and so they've cut down on the supply of houses and uh so even though the interest rates are sky high the prices of houses are not going down because they've controlled the supply and even the doctors can't buy a house who's going to buy a house there it's crazy again yeah and and and uh it's only going to keep going and getting getting worse prices are going to keep going up

yeah because they go driving up inflation with again you're going to see oil prices spike and and all the cheap money they're going to keep trying to do to keep artificially propping up the economy so we don't again it's the people are suffering like we've never seen in in in years and it's only going to continue to get worse for the average person as the rich keep getting richer. And the robber barons, that's all they are. I mean, when we were young guys, there were no hedge funds, private equity groups, or venture capitalists.

When we were young guys, there were hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores. That's right. And now they're all chains. That's right. That's right. And now they're all chains. That's right. That's right. And going back to the immigration that you were talking about, they want the immigration for cheap labor.

Mm-hmm. Again, I wrote about this in my book, Trends 2000. Mm-hmm. The whole internet revolution began in the early 1990s. 1994, it started taking off. They had this thing called H-1B visas. So they could bring in cheap labor from China and India. They didn't want to pay the Americans.

You go to any store and you see, go to like a Marshall's, a Target or whatever. And you see on the front doors, help wanted, front doors help wanted help wanted help wanted help wanted. Yeah. They, they, because all the people working there, just nothing more than a plantation work of a slave land here. It's better than the plantation system. You don't have to house them or feed them. Here's enough money. Yeah. Get the hell out of here. Come back in the morning. You've got an article at a trends journal.

Fast food turns to AI to cut staff. And, you know, I kind of think that that's what was happening. When I covered Gavin Newsom raising minimum wage, I said, you know, I think that's really trying to push these fast food chains because you had to have something like 80 locations or something in order for the increase to go from 15 an hour to 20 an hour i said i think that is pushing these fast food chains to start using ai to replace people but then we had this week uh you had a a place in uh several different locations in new york where they were using staff in the Philippines. And they had them there as virtual clerks in the store to interact with customers because they could pay them $3 an hour in the Philippines, which was still twice what the average wage in the Philippines was at $1.50 an hour. So this is the way they're pulling the stuff in, isn't it?

I mean, this is very rapidly moving and they want to do it from the bottom up. This is going to be one of their first steps to kill us economically, I think, is going to be the combination of robotics and AI. But before they do that, they'll do telecommuting with people in other countries, as we've already been seeing for the longest time in terms of support people that are coming out of India that hardly speak English and that type of thing, you know, when you call in to get some help on something. But now they're going to start doing it in retail locations, I think, and paving the way, you know, making artificially inflating the price of people there so they can create

an economic case for these people to add robotics and artificial intelligence to replace humans there. And then once they do that, they'll bootstrap into, into other areas as well. Right. You're a hundred percent correct. Again, one of our top trends was AI. We own you and that's where it's all going. I mean, look, look, what's going on. I mean, you're talking about the Philip, by the way, I was in the Philippines. It was heartbreaking to see the poverty there. Yeah.

You know, when you, oh, poverty is everywhere. Yeah, if they're making $1.50 an hour average. Yeah. I mean, you call every, well, the credit card companies, who are you speaking to when you've got a problem? Somebody from the Philippines. You know, so they're going to keep doing it. And what you pointed out is 100% right.

And again, we're just going to keep getting, you know, so they're going to keep doing it. And what you pointed out is 100% right. And again, we're just going to keep getting, you know, this is the article, by the way, Bank of America issues $130 oil. Oh, yeah. The only four months too late. But Bank of America said it, then it must be true. So, again, it's going to the average person is just going to keep getting poorer and poorer. Again, I call us plantation workers of slave landy. That's all this has become. And we need a new third party movement and we don't have it.

Yeah. Because they're all paid off by, you mentioned that little clown boy, that little, what do you call him, Machiavelli? What do you call him? Machiavelli and Mike. Yeah. A little jerk of nothing, a little boy of nothing. Oh, it is absolutely amazing. What's that?

What did you say, you got $20 million? Yeah, $20 million in his first full quarter as Speaker, $20 million. And I was talking about how, you you know when you had the 2000 election uh 70 million was the total that was spent by al gore 100 million by george w and this guy gets 20 million in just one quarter it's kind of a measure of the corruption isn't it yep but it's also a measure of the arrogance i just i can't get past that clip of him saying that he's the wartime speaker and so we just got to make these tough decisions and he's going to completely ignore our border because he's a wartime speaker no restrictions whatsoever on

the money that we're going to send other people for war but we're not going to do anything to protect this country it's absolutely amazing again they want the border to stay open for cheap labor yeah and i think they also you know when they look at this i've talked many times about the fourth turning i don't know what you think about the cyclical uh theory of um that's put out by strauss and how about every 80 years everything gets restructured they said you know it's usually massive economic restructuring usually always economic restructuring usually war previous one was great depression world war ii prior to that civil war prior to that revolutionary war they went back 500 years in british history to look at that and said well now everybody is The previous one was Great Depression, World War II, prior to that, Civil War, prior to that, the Revolutionary War. They went back 500 years in British history to look at that and said, well, now everybody is pretty much synchronized on all this stuff.

But I said, you know, this fourth turning, it's a really big fourth turning. They want to go instead of like what we had with the Civil War. We moved from an agrarian society to an industrial society the industrial revolution came in that was a pretty big one we had wars in a lot of different places italy had a civil war 1861 to 1865 exactly the same time that we did that was about creating uh a an industrialized revolution as well as a nation state now they want a global government and they want um which means that there's going to be a global war for sure but my question is is it also going to be a civil war they keep pushing

with that and i think that's a good bit of why they keep letting the borders stay open i think they want to make sure there's going to be while there is a global war i think they want to have a civil war as well what do you think again it, the global war is going to be nuclear annihilation. I mean, you don't have to believe me. They asked a cat by the name of Albert Einstein, who knew a thing or two about the atom bomb. And they asked him what kind of weapons will be used to fight the third world war. He said, I don't know, but they'll be using sticks and stones to fight the fourth. Yeah.

I mean, you know about the Samson option in Israel. Yeah. Oh, yeah. If they lose, they go nuclear. Well, you know, a lot of people, you know, there's going to be tremendous number of people that will go out in the initial stuff. Another massive number of people will die from solely from radiation. Yeah. Some people, the people who are left, though, as a matter of fact,

and I don't know, this was Annie Jacobson. She's done books on DARPA, on Operation Paperclip, and some other things like that. She just did a thing about a nuclear war. She said the most number of people would die from starvation, that even though you'd have tremendous initial casualties vaporized and then dying from radiation it's going to be starvation to me that it seems to me like in that phase that's where they want to make sure that the people who survive they're

all fighting each other as you say with sticks and stones you know bringing in all these different groups that that are not going to um even speak the same language uh into united states that's that's what they want to do for a complete and utter takedown i think what do you think again no they're out of their minds they don't have a they don't have a final plan on this i know yeah they're out of their mind they're nuts again you're quoting a little jerky little nothing of a clown this is mike johnson what plan what plan and again at what time this little boy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag yeah and as i always say everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the nose you know yeah that's the other part of the best laid plans yeah you get it all uh once that once that

happens uh everything uh then resets itself doesn't it i got a couple of uh comments here one of them from rockfin fawn c thank you for the tip says good to see gerald uh on um rumble oh and 61 thank you for tip uh thank you Dave, for another week of insight and analysis. Thank you so much. Oh, I appreciate it. Well, again, you know, when we look at this, it is it is a very dark time, isn't it? But we can we can not we don't want to lose hope in the sense that. please we have to do something yeah that's right people have to do something we have to unite for peace if we know we're going to die in war that's right yeah and if we if we lose hope we won't do anything and that's what they want us to do as well uh so i think that we need to make sure that we understand uh what our goals in life are and we need to understand that regardless of what happens i quoted often the fact that Martin Luther said, if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I'd plant a tree today. I think that's the way

that we need to live our lives. I think that's why you cover a lot of economic and global economy information there, even though as you look at this, all the cards are lined up for global war. You still look at this and say but in case you know we're still going to plant the tree and uh we're going to do what we can to try to fight for peace right yeah and again you know i launched occupied peace and you speak spoke at my rallies i did over a decade ago yes this is an op-ed piece from biden in the wall street journal israel is our strongest partner in the middle east It is unthinkable that we would stand by if its defense were weakened by Iran. Israel is our strongest partner in the

Middle East. You mean our partner in crime? No. I'm an American. And of course, when we talk about the asymmetry of Iran using very, very cheap weapons and Israel having to defend itself with extremely $1.3 billion to defend itself, that's not really a problem with them as long as they can tap into the magic money tree that we've got here in America, right? Let's just put some more zeros on the bank account. And here, here's some made up fantasy currency here. Who cares about any of that stuff? That's why I say it's so amazing to me. And it's such a tell, I think, Gerald, when they don't even bother to spend any money

on the border. They could easily say, well, yeah, we'll spend 200 on the border. Who cares, right? I mean, it's just numbers on a machine to them. And so they could easily come in and say, we'll do 200 on the border. You feel good about that now? Now we can give 100 billion to these other wars out there, but they don't even bother with that. They don't even bother to try to save face or to try to make themselves look good to the voters because they don't care even to make that effort anymore. You're right. They're crazy people. Yeah.

Yeah. Why yes. You ask a murderer, why they were a murderer, a thief, why they're a thief, a rapist, why they're a rapist.

These are crazy demonic people that are the, the, the inmates are running the asylum. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Why did they rob America? Well, that's because that's the the inmates are running the asylum that's right that's right yeah why did they rob america well that's because that's where the money is that's what the uh willie sutton said the bank robber why do you keep robbing banks uh well because that's where the money is that's why they're robbing uh america because that's where the money is it's where the money is manufactured you know that's about the only thing we manufacture anymore is a fiat currency.

26.38 billion in military aid. That's what has going. That's they're trying to push through, which they probably will for Israel. Wow. To keep slaughtering innocent people. Yeah. As our country's rotting in front of us. Yeah, that's right.

That's right. Yeah. And we've had, um, and I think there's going to be another aspect of it as well. I think we've been getting some shots across the bow. You alluded to one of them in a nuclear power plant. We also, they're actually admitting, which is very rare. I guess it's because it's not a very important asset, but they had a water system that was cyber attacked. And that might have been another warning shot across the bow. We can do this to your entire infrastructure.

That's the key thing. I think that when we're looking at this, most of the time they go to absurd lengths to try to persuade people that this was not a state actor that was trying to attack our infrastructure. And of course, there's easier ways to do it when you've got a wide-open border. Anything can be taken out of the infrastructure in that kind of a situation. But these cyber attacks make it very easy for them to pretty much shut down anything anywhere. And I think that we're seeing demonstrations of this on a regular basis, even though that's not the way it's reported in the mainstream media.

What do you think? Yeah, right. And it's just the beginning. It's going to keep happening. Yeah. You know, I was a keynote speaker at Virginia Military Institute back in the early 2000s. They brought me there to talk about,

one of them I was talking about in my book, New Millennium Warfare. It's totally different, totally different warfare. And Cyprus is going to be part of it. Oh, yeah. You know, there's another quote in here by Biden in his op-ed piece. Israel is facing unprecedented attacks from Iran, and Ukraine is facing continued bombardment from Russia that has intensified dramatically in the last month. The House must pass the package this week and the senate should quickly follow i will sign this into law immediately you ready to send the message to the world quote we stand with our

friends and we won't let iran or russia succeed That's Biden. Yeah. They're not my friends. I'm an American and I believe in the founding fathers like George Washington. Well, Biden thinks that his I mentioned twice this week that his grandfather or something was

eaten by cannibals. He's out in La La Land. there's somebody else who's actually uh running that show there uh he's totally off off the reservation when it comes to that but um yeah when we stop at that stop at that because that shows you how out of their minds they are yeah oh yeah and that's why i'm saying they're going to take us to nuclear annihilation this is a guy talking about his uncle being eaten by cannibals i mean and he's our president yeah oh yeah i know yeah it truly is amazing um where this whole is headed, and it really is going down the tubes. But again, there are things that we just have to understand that we can make a difference individually, and we can stand up.

That's why you do Occupy Peace. That's why you take a look at what is happening economically. There are still things that we can do, and we just don't surrender. I mean, we are not suicidal suicidal and we are not without hope. And that's the key thing is to make sure that we never get to that point. We have to take a clear look and not turn away from what is on the horizon. And we're not called to be Pollyanna about it and just, you know, well, I don't, I don't see that. I don't want to see that.

There's a lot of ugly stuff that is there that we need to clearly look at and we need to stand up clearly and oppose it without being intimidated and i really do appreciate you doing that thank you so much gerald for what you do again folks if you would like to subscribe to trends journal you can use the code night to save 10 and what does that work out to is like a 250 a week or something yeah is that true yeah it's uh it's an amazing bargain and uh just from the financial standpoint as well but also getting a heads up as to what is coming he looks at the full spectrum of everything it's not filled with fluff about Taylor Swift or the ballerinas on their toes.

I'm surprised that there's still even a performing arts place or Broadway in New York. I thought all that stuff was gone with the wind after the lockdown. I'm surprised that there's still, still things like that happening in New York. Is it New York is dead now at 12 o'clock at night. It's a whole different place. It's all different city everywhere. Everything's changed in the COVID war. the damage is incalculable that and of course uh eric adams

is continuing to do the kind of stuff that uh sadiq khan is doing in the uk in terms of uh you know congestion pricing and all the rest of this stuff they're thinking of everything they can do to make it impossible for people even get into new y York with a car, let alone keep these Broadway open or any of the arts places open. Of course, they're all going to shut down if they shut down that kind of transportation. Who wants to get on the subway? It's like escape from New York. It's turning subway areas absolutely crazy, isn't it? Night in Calcutta.

Yeah, yeah, it truly is. Well, thank you so much for joining us, Gerald, and thank you all of you for joining us. And we hope that you have a good weekend. And again, if you want to subscribe to Trends Journal, go ahead and use the code NIGHT to save 10%. Thank you all of you. Have a good weekend.
