And thank you to David and the entire David knight team for letting me fill in on this very busy and beautiful day we've got a lot to discuss today breaking news philosophy history and your opinions get ready everybody we'll be rolling until noon today with special appearances by people like Kamala Harris, Dana Bash, and even some more astute people like opinions from Glenn Greenwald and perhaps a joke or two from J.D. Vance. A joke? Thanks for joining us on The David Knight Show, one and all. Well, it has been a very busy past 24 hours since the last David Knight show started off at 9 a.m. Of course, you can find David Knight's program live every Monday through Friday from 9 to noon Eastern Time.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Or as I sometimes say, I often say on my Liberty Conspiracy program at 6 p.m. Whatever time zone you call home, hope you can make this your home away from home. Thanks for being here, everyone. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David today, who's taking some much deserved time off with the family. And I get to join the David Knight family here. Join us live on DLive, on Rumble, on Rockfin, and of course on David's X. And I hope you will check his show out after the fact as well. Follow him at Libertarian on X and of course, TheDavidKnightShow.com.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Go to DavidKnight.Gold if you want to check out the great connection with the great Tony Arteburn, the wise wolf gold and silver exchange. And thank you for being here. And if you're interested in my work, I do work for MRCTV, the Media Research Center. And I also do my Liberty Conspiracy Program every Monday through Friday at 6 p.m. or whatever time zone you call home. We are there Monday through Friday, breaking apart the news, gathering intellectual ammunition from the breaking news, making sure we don't forget things from the news cycle amnesia as things pass by us, and hopefully getting some information that we can pass on to our progeny to defend liberty, defend peace, and defend our God-given rights. And make friends. It's a beautiful day here in southern Russia, Hampshire.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yes, indeed, Moscow, Hampshireansky, as we spread the Russian propaganda. We are the Agit Prop Masters. So I want to welcome everyone, and please hit the thumbs up, give it the shares over on X. I already see one of our fellow Liberty Conspirators is there. He goes by the name of I Can't Believe. So I saw you out of the corner of my eye, and I'll say a big hello to you and happy morning or night, whatever time zone. Thanks for being there, my friend.
Starting point is 00:04:35 And everybody in the original home of Rockfin, terrific people, and, of course, terrific people. At the folks at MRCTV, I don't advertise my Liberty Conspiracy show at MRCTV. It's not part of my contract. But those of you who do find me at X, thank you for doing so because I do get to mention that at MRCTV. So it's been an absolutely busy past 24 hours. We've got a lot on tap today.
Starting point is 00:04:59 We're going to be joined in the 10 o'clock hour for a little while by the former head of the Free State Project, Carla Garrick. And she, if you're not familiar with Carla, she actually won a Supreme Court ruling on being able to film the police. So it's going to be a very interesting conversation with her. avoiding the technocratic, technotronic state. And the snoopers that we see are trying to invade more and more with the most recent arrest of Pavel Durov and what has been going on with the pressures on Rumble and X. And we'll discuss how we can create those local bonds with people
Starting point is 00:05:41 and what the Free State Project has been doing. They're terrific, terrific people. I love them. I grew up in New Hampshire, and yet having all these fellow libertarians here in New Hampshire has been such a blessing. I'm sort of an honorary Free State Project member. We'll also be joined by Eric Peters to talk about the latest on Ford's move to get away from their EVs, which have been an absolute disaster,
Starting point is 00:06:09 plus other information about freedom of movement and freedom of speech, because, of course, Eric has a lot to say about that. And perhaps we'll be joined by Jason Barker in the last half hour or so. Of course, Jason Barker, Knights of the Storm. You can go to their website and find out all the information about so many exceptional broadcasters and opinion and thought investigators, you might say, over at the Knights of the Storm. And, of course, he has his show, The Foxhole. Knights of the Storm will be going out live tomorrow at 10 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:06:38 so check them out on Rumble. So thanks for being here, everyone. I hope I do a fantastic job for David on this day that optimistically, we can say that we're going to be looking at some of the shadows of the shadow play. I was talking about Plato, Socrates' parable of the cave the other day. Evidently, Plato and Socrates thought they were smart enough to see the puppets and everybody else was just too ignorant. But there does seem to be a certain amount of shadow play that these folks are involved with.
Starting point is 00:07:06 The spectacle, perhaps maybe not so much a shadow play, but the spectacle, the. At BetMGM, Ontario's best casino action is just a click away. Play thrilling games like premium blackjack pro, the dazzling MGM grand Emerald Knights,

This spectacle simulacrum of choice and free will and self-government as we saw the CNN interview pre-recorded. And it was so hard hitting with
Starting point is 00:07:56 Dana Bash and Kamala Harris doing the waltz. So we'll talk about that as well as a number of other things, as well as discussing, of course, a very interesting story that I brought up last night. And if you get to see the preview for the show, for the David Knight show, we're going, washing up fiberglass pieces onto the beach, which everybody knows it's absolutely great for the fish. It's great for the whales. It's great for the lobsters. And it's great for all the people whose livelihoods depend on it, who plunked a lot of money, time and effort into having families dependent upon their income. And yes, we're going to be hearing from one of those lobstermen who's been working at it since essentially he was 19, 18 years old. And he had some very good opinions that were making a buzz around New England.
Starting point is 00:08:54 So I wanted to get that out to all of you. So thank you everyone for being there. Want to say hi, give me the five by five. And don't forget, this is the last day for the month. So if we can generate some donations to david's show and you can be the producers as david's been saying recently it's a great idea uh you can help produce the show you can back this show remember we're we're open over at rumble we're open at rockfin and i'd love to see a great amount of folks uh contributing because
Starting point is 00:09:24 of course it's on my back today to finish off the month for David. And they were getting close, but we want to make sure that they can get as close as possible or surpass their goal for the month for donations for the show, because that's how this show operates. Thanks for being here, everybody. Really good time last night with the crew, the gang over at Liberty Conspiracy. And I see already populating inside Rockman. We've got Harps inside. Steve Swan is there. Octo Spook is there. Lacy Toad is there. And Dugalug, I salute you. I take off, I put on my redacted cap and I take it off for you. And they're a great team as well, Monday through Thursday at four. So let's see what's on tap for the rest of the program and take a look at some of the things
Starting point is 00:10:12 that happened over the past 24 hours, or perhaps go back a little ways so we don't get that news cycle amnesia. On my program, I often do something that I like to call the News Flash. So today we're going to go on David Knight Show with the News Flash, and it's got a little music in there, a little theme for warfare, not only internationally, kinetically, but the politicians against you. Let's see what's been going on recently. Oh, coinciding with this on Monday morning was the 500th flight of a plane from the United States to Israel, bringing military equipment. 500 flights in the nine months of this genocidal war that we have paid for. Absolutely nothing. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Uh-huh. War. Huh. Yeah. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again, y'all. You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone.
Starting point is 00:11:30 A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you? Well, first of all, I'm incredibly proud. I've done 24 years of wearing uniform of this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me. I speak like they do. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves and I speak especially passionately about our children being shot in schools and around around guns so I think people know me they know who I am they know where where my heart is and again my record has been out there for over 40 years to be for itself and the idea that you said that you were in war did you
Starting point is 00:12:19 miss because the campaign has said yeah I said we were talking about in this case this was after a school shooting the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. And my wife, the English, she told me my grammar is not always correct. But again, I think we need to push back on this. There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. If it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it's an attack on my dog. I'm not going to do that. And the one thing I'll never do is I'll never demean another member's service in any way.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I never have, and I never will. I know you guys. You're from the newsflash. My name's Dan Pronk. I fish 800 lobster traps right where you're putting these tombstones, which is also the end of my business and the other people that fish down there. Let's just start with that. Second of all, in regards to toxicity of fiberglass, I have fiberglass boats.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I don't know what you know about fiberglass, but when you apply it in the resins in the bonding units that are holding it together, you have to wear respirators. For what reason? Because it's toxic. If you breathe those fumes, the bonding agents that hold this stuff together, you'll get higher than a rat. I know you guys. You're from the newsflash. We've increased disinformation research and tracking within the surgeon general's office we're flagging problematic posts for facebook that spread disinformation we're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect uh to connected medical experts with popular with popular who are popular with their audiences with
Starting point is 00:14:01 with accurate information and boost trusted content so we're helping get trusted content out there. So what do you think about the use of artificial intelligence or lavender by the IDF in identifying Hamas targets and secondly do you agree with Elon Musk about that the population decline is a risk for humanity? Well, well, always interesting things as the trajectory of the growth of the state seems to be not parabolic in any way whatsoever, but it just seems to be increasing, increasing, increasing. So we'll work together to see how we can break apart some of these stories, offer your opinions,
Starting point is 00:14:53 and of course, get our guests involved in this. As you saw, yes, Harrison Waltz, we're doing the waltz with the ever hard hitting Dana Bash on the ever increasing orreasing or perhaps decreasing CNN, as they just let a bunch of people go. And they said they were going to be applying more of their attention to online cultural news. So whether you want to believe that cultural news, that's up to you as well. But of course, last night was the very exciting discussion between Harris and Waltz and Dana Bash. And I thought there was a bit of an amusing one that came from, of all people, J.D. Vance. So let me show you this because this is actually amusing.
Starting point is 00:15:40 It's not his original idea, but it is kind of funny. And this is perhaps the way that some people thought the conversation went with Kamala Harris last night, as repeatedly she got asked questions and seemed to answer with completely different subjects that were on her own mind. Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't't locate the u.s on a world map why do you think this is i personally believe that u.s americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should,
Starting point is 00:16:33 our education over here in the US should help the US or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries. So we will be able to build up our future. Thank you very much, South Carolina. Okay. All right. I loved Mario's reaction as he's holding the microphone going, okay, that was interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And it was, at least it was interesting last night. And of course, I'm a libertarian voluntarist, a Christian anarchist. I believe that there is no claim that another person can legitimately make over you. I don't have a right to force you to do anything. You have a right to be left alone by me. I have a right to be left alone by you. We are blessed with rights by God and superseding that and taking over somebody's choices for his own free will is to put ourselves between that person and God. And I think that that is illegitimate. I don't believe that any state entity has any authority over anyone, no matter how many pieces of paper they write. And no matter how long ago those pieces of paper were written by other people to force you to say you complied to it. You didn't give your consent. In most cases, most people, unless they joined the military, unless they got
Starting point is 00:17:49 into politics, they didn't give their consent. However, I have done a lot of research, done a lot of writing on constitutional issues, taught political philosophy and things like that. So I'm aware of the way that the rules are supposed to operate under the U.S. constitutional system. And I admire a lot of the things that those people tried to do during the constitutional period. I'd much prefer the Articles of Confederation, which saw 11, I believe, people who actually served as president of the Congress, the Continental Congress. I believe John Hancock was one of them. But I understand what the rules are. And strangely, it is a simulacrum, isn't it? Because what they're doing and what is actually in the Constitution don't often comport as people get closer and closer to the election time.
Starting point is 00:18:33 And they've got to decide. They've got to decide for their own self-control. I don't understand how that works, but I've got a theme for that. And it's pretty good with this little video from the psychedelic furs, fellow anarchists. Don't know whether they're Christians. Anarchists is really just anarchy, no human ruler. It's not violence the way that it was depicted by a lot of the socialists at the early 1900s. This comes from the psychedelic furs. It's called President Gas. It's pretty good. You have to have a party
Starting point is 00:19:27 When you're in a state like this You can't really move at all You have to vote and change You have to get right out of here Out of all this mess. You'll say yeah to anything if you believe all this mess. Don't cry, don't do anything. No lies back in the government.
Starting point is 00:20:02 No tears, party time is here again President Gass is up for president Turn it up, put your kisses down Say yes, say yes again Stand up, there's a head count President Gass on everything The ball is getting sick, sick The price of medicine Stand up, put you on your feet again Open up your eyes just to check That you're asleep again
Starting point is 00:20:35 President Gas, it's President Gas again Comes in from the left, comes in from the right Ah, yes, indeed. So many, so many pieces of choice lyrics there from Richard Butler, who moved over from England, basically chased out by the tax system and critics and so on, lives in upstate New York and is an oil painter, actually, as well. Love those lyrics. Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again. That facade of self-control
Starting point is 00:21:06 when everything is being managed and so on. So yes, let's get into a little bit of last night's extravaganza. What are we going to be discussing on the David Knight Show overall tonight, today, everyone? Well, for this 30th day, we're going to be, of course, talking about the Harris-Waltz dance across CNN while Trump provides promises to mandate insurance companies to pay for IVF. He was doing that while they were broadcasting the CNN interview. He was there with Tulsi Gabbard. So there are some major problems with IVF, and there are some major problems morally with IVF, and there are some major, major constitutional and moral problems with mandating insurance companies pay for it or having the federal government subsidize it. And of course, Tim Walz claimed in an indirect way that he and
Starting point is 00:22:01 his wife fathered two children through IVF, which often is seen as a free choice parallel to abortion, so-called rights, the right to take another human life after it's already been created. No, I'm sorry. Well, IVF, they freeze embryos, human lives. They put them in stasis. So people who are backing that, particularly forcing other people to pay for it, either insurance companies or my neighbor through taxation. And we'll look at this Donald Trump quote. That is very problematic. And I understand how emotional it is for some people who can't can't have kids and they try these different ways. But there's a much larger picture here that I hope people will consider.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Then we'll have a Durov update. We'll have the speech attacks in the UK and more that tie into that. War on producers. Kamala Harris's border tyrannous. And more s'mores. We'll talk with, of course, the Free State Project and Carla Garrick, who will be telling us about her Supreme Court battles. And we'll get into, yes, EVs and climate cultists on Cape Cod with Eric Peters. But let's get into this CNN story. And here's some of the quotes that I found.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I wanted to share them with you. You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you? Well, first of all, I'm incredibly proud. I've done 24 years of wearing uniform in this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me. I speak like they do. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves. And I speak especially passionately about about our children being shot in schools and around around guns.
Starting point is 00:23:53 So I think people know me. They know who I am. They know where where my heart is. And again, my record has been out there for over 40 years to speak for itself. So in other words, I'm not directly answering the question. I think people understand that, you know, they know me. So they know you're a liar. Is that the story? Is that the story? And bring in all that folksy stuff that, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:16 you worked with the schools and all that other stuff. In other words, you were a public parasite even then. Is that the story, Tim? And Emmy Moore is chatting with us over on X, and she says, our governor, Tim A, is the worst. Evil Santa. Thank you, Mary Ellen. That's classic. We'll continue. The idea that you said that you were in war. Did you misspeak, as the campaign has said? Yeah, I said we were talking about, in this case, this was after a school shooting.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Oh, so there was a reason. See, it was more important to see the issue of me trying to make sure that, oh, teachers can't exercise their right to self-defense and kids are put at greater risk by not having anybody who's an adult who works at the place being armed, you know, being more
Starting point is 00:25:05 vulnerable because people know nobody has guns there. So obviously they'll choose to go to the place that doesn't have guns. Yeah. We won't talk about that stuff. And it was really important to me because of course, I'm just a massive gun grabber. So don't you get it? Anything I say should be acceptable. And of course, if you actually think that what I said was a lie, well, I've got an excuse for that too my wife knows i'm kind of a doofus i'm carrying these weapons of war and uh my wife the english you're telling my grammar is not always correct but again thank you thank you there's another check off for me for vice president which which I would never, never support anyway.
Starting point is 00:25:45 That's good. She knows I'm not really good with my, as Steve Martin says, some people, they have a way with words and other people. Well, they just not have way, I guess. Well, I guess that's Tim Waltz. If it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it's an attack on my dog. And now we engage in gaslighting. Thank you, Tim. Great. Yeah, your ticket is at the end and you can go grab your Samsonite luggage. Thanks for playing our game. I'm not going to do that. And the one thing I'll never do is I'll never demean another member's service in any way. I never have, and I never will. Okay. So as I noted in the notes, as the team here at the Liberty Conspiracy Program noted, of
Starting point is 00:26:28 course, he won't demean in any way. He'll just pretend that he left the service at a rank that was actually higher than the rank that he had. So he won't demean others. He'll just try to put himself above where he actually was, which is actually indirectly demeaning others, claiming that you're better than you actually were while they actually do the work to get there. So, but he's not demeaning others in any way whatsoever. Wow. Wow. What an offensive person. Unbelievable. Now let's show
Starting point is 00:26:57 what Donald Trump was doing at the same time that this was on. This is only the second time I've spoken about it publicly, but my husband and I were married almost 10 years ago. We wanted to start a family. We were very excited about it. Unfortunately, it was very difficult. We were not successful in trying to get pregnant. For us, IVF seemed to be the only option and the last resort. As you know, it's a pretty difficult process. It's very, very expensive. I was in Congress at the time traveling. I would carry the medicine that I had to administer shots to myself sometimes at an airport bathroom and and ultimately the most
Starting point is 00:27:49 difficult part was every time going to the doctor for another transfer and hoping that it would result in a positive pregnancy test and then being heartbroken over and over every time that test came back negative. Now I know some of your opponents, your political opponents are saying that you want to ban IVF. Well it didn't work for us, it's worked for a lot of families and I just know that there are women and couples in this crowd or those who are watching here tonight who may be going through this same struggle and are concerned about being able to have this option either because they might not be able to afford it or they're concerned
Starting point is 00:28:34 that it just may not be available and I'd love for you to talk to them about how they should feel well thank you very much Chelsea and I didn't know about your situation and it's tough stuff right? Life is pretty tough. It can be beautiful but it can be difficult. We are doing something with IVF because IVF as you know from friends people you know it's really worked out very well for a lot of people. It gave them a child when they would not have had a child. And I told my people I wanted to look at this a couple of weeks ago and as you know we have no taxes on a thing called tips, you know that. And I said tell me we did three things we did that and we did no tax the seniors on Social Security benefits we want to have that and I've been seeing a lot of IVF
Starting point is 00:29:33 and I kept hearing that I'm against it and I'm actually very much forward in fact in Alabama where the judge ruled against it and I countered the judge and came out with a very strong statement for it and the Alabama very quick in your response to that I was but they were too they were amazing the legislature approved virtually my statement I mean full IVF and it is really gone it's it's terrific and I said so with the tips and with the Social Security the no taxes on Social Security I said, maybe
Starting point is 00:30:05 for IVF and I've been looking at it and what we're going to do is for people that are using IVF, which is fertilization, we are going to be, government is going to pay for it, or we're going to get or mandate your insurance company to pay for it, which is going to be great. Okay. So I decided to wedge that Donald Trump statement in between bookends of the Harris-Waltz interview, specifically an editorial decision, specifically to remind myself and perhaps give me the opportunity to tell others that in my view, this is a non-choice. I don't have a choice here. Now, maybe some people think that they can see that sort of a thing from Donald Trump. They can see the massively, blatantly unconstitutional approach and the lack of any sort of moral conversation about IVF and how it is a cipher to abortion because numerous fetuses are created. These are created
Starting point is 00:31:14 and then put into stasis and they're frozen. And that point is not being addressed by some people. Maybe they're hearing it, but they think there are other things on balance that would drive them towards voting for Donald Trump. As we get closer and closer to the elections, I think it's important for me to make sure that I put them together and show that for me, at least, they are a non-choice. I already philosophically will not support putting people into offices, occupying the offices of levers of control over people. I just won't do that. I won't do that in any way. In any way that I can, I try to eliminate the burdens of the state over other people in argumentation. Or if I do vote, it's a town vote on a budget, and I always vote no. And so I think that this hopefully will
Starting point is 00:32:08 generate some people who might be on the fence as we get closer and closer. And the explosion of the election arrives as that pressure builds and builds and builds. I know a lot of people are going to say, well, I've got to make a choice. This is to me a non-choice. So I thought that it would be pretty important to bring that up. And I want to I want to just mention again, the idea of mandates on anybody through the state is immoral. And mandates under the Constitution for anything like that are just they're ribald. They're in your face unconstitutional. And he already has sworn an oath to the Constitution. So I don't know if someone might want to remind him of that, but I understand how emotional it is for Tulsi Gabbard. She didn't address it. She swore an oath to the Constitution numerous times, and she did so while she was in the military. So that, of course, then brings me to thoughts of how could she remain in the military when the United States government was shipping her overseas without any declaration
Starting point is 00:33:10 of war, when, as Judge Napolitano mentioned to Gerald Salente in their conversation on Wednesday, the United States has essentially 900 bases scattered all around the globe. No declaration of war. The president is not supposed to lead troops unless there's a declaration of war. The rest of it, it's supposed to be, we are the members of the militia. We can be called up if there's a declaration of war to go after enemies from a foreign nation state. If the enemies are not suited under the guise of the foreign nation state, they don't declare war against the nation state. They issue letters of mark and reprisal. So all of this authorization to use military force, the AUMF from the W. Bush era, going into Iraq, going into Afghanistan, and then taking people to rendition sites, putting them in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. None of that. That is so offensive to the concept of the U.S. Constitution, but it is a mutation, and I think a logical mutation, from the Monroe Doctrine, where James Monroe essentially started that to say, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:18 in order to protect the United States, we're going to go make sure that most of the Caribbean is protected, wink, wink, by the United States, which led to a lot of United States overthrows of government in the Caribbean and South America. And they just metastasized it. Now it's all around the world. Got to give money to Israel, got to give weapons to Israel. How about you leave us out of it, regardless of where one stands on the issue? How about I'm left out of all of that? And I'm left out of the moral imposition of having to pay for somebody else to create fetuses and then freeze them and never see their lives actually come about any more than that. Essentially, it's freeze killing. It's birdseying other people. I don't get it. But there's a lot more to talk about regarding the CNN interview.
Starting point is 00:35:06 So let's go with Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald had a very good comment on this. And we'll show a little bit of the interview with Harrison Waltz. He says, of course, Glenn Greenwald, of course, working with Edward Snowden, now lives in South America because he's not coming back to the United States very often. He's not going to live here. He'll be in danger of getting shut down by the government. Sort of like what the French have done to the CEO of Telegram. And by the way, I mentioned last night in the program, this has secondary effects for all the employees of these businesses. The businesses, the employees of Telegram who were stationed in the UAE, they left. They were obviously warned by the heads, get out of there. We don't know whether it's be safe for you because of course the authorities,
Starting point is 00:35:57 whether it be in France or another nation state, can also go after the employees for being part and parcel. They can say it's joint liability. You too are involved in getting this open platform for people to share information, and we just don't like that. Even though they don't actually go after the criminals who might be dealing in child porn on Facebook or Mastodon or something like that,
Starting point is 00:36:19 they just go after the platform and say, we don't like what you're putting out there, we want that censored, and we want backdoors to get access to what you do. Here's what Glenn Greenwald said. Kamala didn't even remotely pretend she was explaining why the things she pretended to believe when running in 2020 are now things she pretends she no longer believes. And from all appearances, he says there was no zero attempt to insist on an answer. They picked Dana Bash for a reason. So here we go. Generally speaking, how should voters look at some of the changes that you've made,
Starting point is 00:37:01 that you've explained some of here in your policy? Is it because you have more experience now and you've learned more about the information? Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary? And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward? Dana, I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed, and I worked on it, that the climate crisis is real,
Starting point is 00:37:40 that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves. Did you hear that? She said the word metrics. So it's obviously very sophisticated, even though she's not addressing the fact that she has completely different positions on certain things like the border wall and fracking, that sort of stuff. She's changed her positions on those things. Fracking should have nothing to do with the federal government unless there's a dispute between the states and the border. Well, there's no word immigration in the U.S. Constitution. It's a state issue, as Thomas Jefferson mentioned in the Kentucky Resolve
Starting point is 00:38:15 number four in 1798. But we'll continue because she just mentioned metrics. So obviously she knows more than all the rest of the people out there she's going to try to control. To deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act. We have set goals for the United States of America and by extension the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. And of course it's we because it's a crisis as they define it. They'll define the crisis. It's all for the public good. And of course, the term public good, as David Knight has mentioned, as I've mentioned about public health or public good for defense, you can be sacrificed. There's no such thing as the public. That's just a word that's applied to groups of individuals, however they want to group them. So they can sacrifice your rights for the so-called public defense or for the so-called public help.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Lockdowns like Tim Walz had. David Knight did a great interview with a woman and her husband. She went to jail for months just because they tried to keep their business open, which, by the way, if you want to bring this up to any of your state politicians, there's something in the U.S. Constitution called the Contract Clause. And that states that no state government can interfere in the fulfillment of already existing private contracts. So if you've got a contract as an employee with your employer or the other way around, or you've hired somebody to come work at your house or whatever it is, and then all of a sudden Tim Walz says, we though he multiple times has sworn an oath to protect and defend the constitution. I doubt he would understand anything of what you're talking
Starting point is 00:40:09 about, but you would be right. You would nail them, but it doesn't matter if they've got the power that you can be right all you want. That's the problem. I'm sure Alexander Hamilton is very pleased with his made-up idea of the Constitution being malleable and a living document. Wink, wink. Thanks, Al. As an example, that value has not changed. My value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed. I spent two terms as the Attorney General of, prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations. So was she going after NATO, WHO, UN, other ones, maybe the CIA, the NSA? How about
Starting point is 00:40:56 the people in Congress? Yeah. It's always great when you get a guy like Fetterman walking out of Congress, you get a couple of ladies who have relatives probably living in Gaza and they're like, hey, could you stop sending weapons to Israel? And he waves an Israeli flag at them. But there's no international criminality going on in any way with the United States government. Just ask Hunter Biden or the members of Burisma. Of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage of guns, drugs, and human beings across our border. My values have not changed. So, well.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Okay. Thanks, Dana. That was Gardana or whatever your name is. That was hard hitting. The hard hitting journalism. I don't want to go in, you know, too hard on these people, but yeah, Greenwald nailed it pretty well, I think. Now let's talk
Starting point is 00:41:47 about Walsh and his lies. Colin Rugg has something else on X, which I thought was valuable. And I want to go into just a little bit about this claim and just give you a reminder for my MRCTV work. Colin Rugg says, just in, CNN's Dana Bash asks Tim Waltz about his stolen valor scandal. Waltz immediately starts bragging about his record. Question, you said you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. Have you ever? You have never, she says. He says, I'm super proud of my military service. I'm proud to have done 24 years of wearing a uniform in this country. I will never shame someone else for their service. This guy has holy S on it.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I just want to mention as a matter of constitutional fact, ever since World War II, no United States soldier, regardless of the fatuous claims of that man Waltz as he dances around the truth, no U.S. soldier has carried weapons of war in war, technically speaking. They might have gone into combat, but they weren't at war because they have not declared war. And that is a very hard truth to mention to people. It sounds brutal, but it is the truth. That is the truth. And if people believe that they are constitutionalists, they ought to look for the word immigration in the Constitution. It's not there. And just remember, the Declaration of War has a capital D and a capital W because it was seen as a term of art. You didn't take take out women and children and other civilians. He didn't torture people. But of course, the Bush administration sent Alberto
Starting point is 00:43:25 Gonzalez from the White House to Congress at the time they wanted to invade Iraq to ask them specifically not to declare war. And one guy named Ron Paul said, the United States shouldn't be invading this land, but I will offer a declaration of war to put you all on record to show. And he got three votes. Tom Tancredo voted in favor of it and someone else did. But he didn't vote for it. Ron Paul did not vote for it. So as a quick reminder, I want to turn to my MRCTV site because there are a couple pieces here that I think you might find valuable.
Starting point is 00:44:03 And this one is one of them that pertains to Tim Walz's troubles. As I noted, Tim Walz's troubles with truth appear to multiply. So here's this piece, and thanks to the MRCTV team for putting together a good production. Hey, guess what? In addition to his offensive attacks on freedom of association during his unconstitutional COVID lockdowns in Minnesota, in addition to his offensive adulation for censorship of speech that he doesn't like, and added to his extant padding of his military record, charming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is being cited for more apparent deceit about his own life.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Hi everyone, I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV and here's the story. Eliana Johnson reports for the Washington Free Beacon that the deceit of Mr. Waltz seems to go as deep as his boast that the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce called him and get this outstanding young Nebraskan. Yes, all the way over to his claim that he and his wife had children through in vitro fertilization, IVF. Now, on the self-promotion of his time in Nebraska, she writes this, quote, Waltz's 2006 boast about being named Outstanding Young Nebraskan can still be found in an archived version of his campaign website. That November, the president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, Barry Kennedy, wrote Waltz to object. It has come to my attention that as part of your campaign for U.S. Congress,
Starting point is 00:45:58 you have posted your biography on your website that claims you received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for your service to the business community. He stated plainly, we researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, end quote. Well, clearly that is speech from Mr. Kennedy that should be censored. Ms. Johnson also notes that Mr. Kennedy asked that Waltz eliminate the reference from his website and that Mr. Kennedy said that the chamber had endorsed Waltz's opponent, Gil Guttenecht, the Republican incumbent. And what was the public response from Waltz's congressional campaign? Quote, Waltz's campaign manager at the time said he'd in fact won an award from the junior chamber of commerce, according to a report from Minnesota's Alpha News and attributed the mistake to a typographical error. The Harris-Waltz
Starting point is 00:47:09 campaign did not respond to a request for comment, but Guttenacht, who lost to Waltz that year, did speak to the Washington Free Beacon. It fits a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements he has made throughout his political and personal life, he recalled. All political figures are guilty of a bit of puffery. He frequently went well beyond that into prevarication, end quote. Yet it's Waltz who gets on the proverbial high horse and endorses government censorship to stop what he calls misinformation. There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation. Well, Johnson has uncovered more, and it gets even more disturbing. Not only does the censorious
Starting point is 00:47:58 waltz appear willing to lie about his military record, even as he receives little pushback for trampling the Bill of Rights via his lockdowns and calls for gun grabs, he appears to have lied about the conception of his own children. Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children. Quote, in the midst of the Democratic Convention, it emerged that Waltz had lied about his own children. The governor has made his family's fertility struggles a central part of the narrative as he introduces himself to the country. Thank God for IDF. My wife and I have two beautiful children, he told MSNBC in July. But his kids were not actually conceived via in vitro fertilization. Rather, they were conceived through a far less costly, less invasive, and non-controversial
Starting point is 00:48:56 procedure known as intrauterine insemination, which does not involve the cultivation and potential destruction of embryos, end quote. But of course, one can readily recognize two characteristics from that statement. First, it's a statement that is slightly ambiguous, not offering a direct cause and effect relationship between IVF and his children. But of course, what he does is imply it. He thanks God for IVF, allowing the reader or the viewer to think that it is a procedure that actually led to his offspring. But it also allows him an out to say that he never directly claimed IVF gave him and his wife their two beautiful children. And then there's the thanking of God part. Thanking of God for IVF in the first place. Well, since IVF creates so-called spare embryos that are human beings but become trapped
Starting point is 00:49:56 in stasis, frozen, not implanted in the mother, and not allowed to live, one wonders how Waltz could muster the gall to cite the Lord as he praises the procedure. Obviously, Waltz brings in IVF because in many cases it is a parallel to abortion. Okay, so we'll pause it there. And, you know, to be as fair as possible to those people who have, you know, discussed this amongst, you know, in couples and things like that. Some people might like an IVF too. Well, what if you're a couple and your wife has had numerous miscarriages and, you know, how do they decide that? Doesn't that show that there's an increased risk of another miscarriage or something. I think that's quite different than intentionally, knowingly working with scientists to intentionally and knowingly create human lives that you know some of those lives will never continue. That's a different
Starting point is 00:50:57 matter. One of it is up to God and one is in the hands of people and you're actually taking steps to prevent the furtherance of life. So there's a major problem with that, I think. But I, you know, I did want to add that at least to, you know, mention some of the things that come to my mind as I try to engage in a pseudo conversation with people, or at least some of the things that I've heard from people about the procedure. So Tim Waltz. Yeah. Tim, Timmy is he's got some problems, but there's some other problems when we look at this conversation. And of course,
Starting point is 00:51:33 I want to talk about this. Let's go with Max Blumenthal on Kamala Harris and her lies about the United States support sending weapons out. And regardless of someone's position on this, about Israel and Palestine, the occupying, I think we know who might be on the bad side, the occupying force of the Zionist state of Israel. And by the way, I guess I can't complain about statism, the state in the generic sense, if it's attached to Israel, if I'm in Florida on a college campus or anything like that, because, of course, of the two pieces of legislation that Ron DeSantis signed that curtail speech when it comes to Israel, he signed both of these in Israel. One of them means that you can't hand out flyers opposing the United States policy on a college campus, a state-run campus in Florida. And so, of course, that's a big black mark on Ron DeSantis. But here's what Max Blumenthal had to say about Harris's hypocrisy. Here's the clearest indication. Of course, he's from the gray zone. He's going to be at Gerald Salente's gathering on the 28th of September.
Starting point is 00:52:48 In fact, I'll show you the sign for that just to make sure that I promote it a little bit because it's going to be a great one in Kingston, New York. He's got a great spot there. Here's the closest indication that Kamala Harris is bought and bossed by the Israel lobby, which is one of the top, I think, five or three lobbies in Washington, the AIPAC, and will do nothing different than genocide Joe. In between tired bromides, Kamala repeats the Hamas mass rape hoax that was fed to her by Israel lobbyists. There is no evidence of that.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And as I've mentioned on my program, the family of one of the women whom they said was mass raped before the Hamas attackers killed her. She was on the phone with her sister minutes before she got killed. So she didn't get mass raped. There is no evidence. It hasn't been brought up. The beheading of children, of babies, that hasn't been brought up. And if you saw that road with all the burned out cars from that festival on October 7th, the weapons necessary to do that were not brought over by Hamas on their motorcycles. Those came from Apache helicopters supplied by the United States government. As of course, they engaged in the Hannibal directive saying just wipe out everybody and just show massive retaliatory force, which is exactly what they're doing in Gaza. And, of course, they're not even giving anybody. They're using the Lavender AI brought to us. And I've got a piece on this that I want to show a little bit later to Carla and see what she thinks about this.
Starting point is 00:54:29 The Lavender AI, which was helped to be developed by Peter Thiel, which has a massive error rate, and they supposedly target terrorists there in Gaza. And of course, they kill more civilians in places like schools where people are praying. Of course, they've killed UN food workers and independent food workers. So and shut down food gates, put up that bogus pier, which operated for 20 days, cost almost $4 million, didn't do anything. All they have to do if they want to cease fire in Israel is stop giving them the weapons. But let's go with Max and hear what Kamala says. President Biden has tried unsuccessfully to end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. He's been doing it for months and months along with you. Would you do anything differently? For example, would you withhold some U.S. weapons
Starting point is 00:55:22 shipments to Israel? That's what a lot of people on the progressive left want you to do. Let me be very clear. I'm unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel's defense. And it's because, you know, they've totally signed on to the U.S. Constitution, too. And even even if they made Israel the 51st state, hypothetically, and they signed on to the constitution, that gives her no more moral authority to tell me to pay for anything at all. That is the most fundamental basic aspect of human relations. To defend itself. And that's not going to change, but let's take a step back. October 7,
Starting point is 00:56:08 1,200 people were massacred, many young people who were simply attending a music festival. Women were horribly raped. As I said then, I say today, Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And how many is too many? Just again, the fatuous language of these people as they dance around things. If Dana Bash is interested in, you know, at all, play acting like a journalist, she might want to bring up some of these facts. But of course, she's not. She's more interested in appearing on camera with the vice president and the governor
Starting point is 00:56:55 of Minnesota and talking about these things on camera and getting her paycheck, it seems. We have got to get a deal done. We were in Doha. We have to get a deal done. This war must end. And we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out. I've met with the families of the American hostages. Let's get the hostages out. Let's get the ceasefire done. But no change in policy in terms of arms and so forth. No, we have to get a deal done. Dana, we have to get a deal done. When you look at the significance of this to the families, to the people who are living in that region. OK, that's enough. That's enough of that. Just a couple of facts. Max has brought this up. Aaron Mate has brought this. Just a couple facts. Max has brought this up. Aaron
Starting point is 00:57:45 Mate has brought this up. Judge Andrew Napolitano has brought this up. Douglas McGregor has brought this up. All sorts of people have brought this up. The peace proposal that is out there right now is not a peace proposal. It's being pushed by Israel. It's a temporary ceasefire that would see Hamas return their hostages and would not see what many people have not seen because Kamala Harris doesn't want to discuss it. Every year, sometimes 13, 14-year-old kids and women. And the citation from the International Criminal Court calling Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal is not about what happened after October 7th. It's about what happened to some of those innocent people who were never given due process, who have been tortured, according to the ICC, in Israeli prisons. So there's a bit of a problem there as she tries to play to women, evidently, with information that she can't back up. Dana Bash doesn't question it. But again,
Starting point is 00:58:50 if she wants to play it a journalist, maybe she could actually, I don't know, talk to Max, go to the judges rally on the 28th and talk to some of the people who are going to be there. September 28th, peace and freedom rally. Joe, yes, indeed. Gerald Salente is going to be there, of course, putting it on, along with Max Blumenthal, his wife, Anya Parampil. Scott Ritter is going to be there as long as the FBI doesn't raid him again. Yes, I know. It's a pretty interesting thing to see how they try to shut down anybody who seems to be associated with RT. They also went after that man, Rick Sanchez as well. And Andrew Napolitano, of course, is going to be speaking there on the 28th in Kingston, New York at the Four Corners. It is a very cool place and they have great food, wonderful people. And that's where I got to meet in person, got to meet David and Karen and Travis after having been in touch with David for quite a while, just chatting with him thanks to his help on an MRCTV project I was working on. So great, great people all the way around there.
Starting point is 00:59:49 September 28th. I hope I can make it down. I think it's going to be great. Now, let's talk a little bit about the reactions to this. Actually, yes, I've got an opportunity. I want to show you how CNN is showing some of the key takeaways. So here it is. This is analysis from CNN by Zachary Wolf. Okay, so there they are. Great photograph. her first major TV interview since becoming the Democrats presidential nominee. I know it's great. Warm up the coffee. It's going to be a blast. And they say, what would she do on day one in the White House? Lie. Oh, sorry. No, sorry. That was the team. They they put that in my other ear.
Starting point is 01:00:44 I got it beamed in from Scotty at Star Trek when I was working at Star Trek. Live long and prosper, Scotty. Yeah. After a broad claim about focusing on the middle class, and by the way, don't forget, they've already redefined the middle class as people who can get the earned income tax credit. And then back when Obama came into office, they claimed they gave the middle class a tax break. What they did was they amplified and expanded the number of people that they considered poor to get the earned income tax credit. They gave them forward payments for their Medicare. And of course, they're going to double pay later, evidently, if the government's still around to these people. And then they claim that that was a tax break for the middle class. Just asked Senator Jeanne Shaheen about that. She was one of them who lied her way all the way back into the Senate. It was classic. She says, I think sadly in the last decade, we have had the former president, someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are. There's that all-inclusive pronoun we, the most dangerous pronoun in political parlance.
Starting point is 01:01:50 It is the forced inclusion program. Even if you don't want to be part of it, it's the kumbaya. We're wrapping our arms around you. It doesn't matter. It's we. Yes, there's a great novel called We by a man named Zemyatin, who was a dissident Soviet novelist. And it got published in France. And evidently, George Orwell, Ayn Rand were heavily influenced by it. Strangely, in the book, nobody has a name. They all have a number, just like the prisoner.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Pushed by Bash about her specific plans, Harris said she would focus on her, quote, opportunity economy plan to bring down the cost of everyday goods, you know, putting price caps on stuff like a fascist. Yeah, which is always really good for supply. It really incentivizes people to recognize that there might be a value in supplying more of something that people value more or might be an item that is in dearth. And so perhaps it might incentivize people to see a higher price and say, hey, I'll switch some of my resources over to that and supply more. No, you get diminished supplies. And then when they finally lift the price caps, prices shoot up. And of course, there's nothing in the Constitution that lets them do that. They're misreading the Interstate
Starting point is 01:03:02 Commerce Clause, which is supposed to be state on state tariff problems that could be resolved by Congress, not if anything goes over state borders. And of course, she's going to offer the $6,000 tax credit. In other words, a payment, a subsidy for newborns. She wants to give $25,000 per person for new houses. That'll be great. Again, an artificial inflation of the housing industry. And then we've got this. She maintains Bidenomics is a success. I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people, in other words, shifting the cost onto others for the government-run medical system, including capping the costs, there you go, of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000.
Starting point is 01:03:50 When we do what we did in the first year of being in office to extend the child's tax credit, yep, you got it, the EITC, all that stuff, subsidies, that we cut child poverty in America by over 50%, which is false, they didn't. Child poverty has increased. She's lying. But Dana Bash said nothing about that.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Finally, let's offer this. The opinions from the CNN gang as, yes, it was great. They offered their reactions. They were very excited. This is like, again, it's more of the horse race. Oh, their performance. It was a wonderful performance. Was it? Let's see. It wasn't a huge, I don't think she moved the ball that much forward. I don't think there's a policy separation that they've created with Biden.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Obviously she gave a kind of personal defense of him. Now you might not like the way she answered him, but she answered him as a capable, qualified leader i do think she i think she moved the ball forward a little bit you know i just have to ask him maybe you're getting the same vibe for me i want to check in with all of you in the chats on x on rumble on rockman do we have to i maybe i won't even play anymore but i i say to myself do i have to listen to these people like i why why are they on camera why why did they choose these people why did they put all this money into this set i don't understand it it just is a world i can't comprehend i don't get it at all it's nuts maybe she didn't score a touchdown i think the two biggest issues coming out of biden for her are the economic policies
Starting point is 01:05:22 which she clearly wants to embrace but also the immigration policies. Dana asked her if she had anything to say about what they did for three and a half years leading up until the back and forth this year, completely sidestepped it, did not answer it. She goes back to her time as attorney general. But again, absolutely nothing, nothing, no responsibility, no reflection at all on the day one executive actions or anything else they did for three and a half years or anything she said in her previous campaign, which was to have the most permissive immigration structure. She's trying to skip a block of time at the debate. Trump cannot allow it. I got to say, I'm sure the CNN people like, no, I'm sorry, we can't allow that sort of substance in this program.
Starting point is 01:06:03 We can't have that. This is all supposed to be whipped cream, cool whip, in fact. So we can't have that. And hey, you know, the guy was with George W. Bush. I had major problems with George W. Bush. Obviously, should have been tried as a war criminal, but he made, Scott Jennings made very good points there. So there you go. Now let's talk a little bit about history and just discuss some of the things that people are bringing up as to why this mysterious continuation of funneling of weapons all around the world and specific to Israel seems to be going on. back a ways. 13 years ago, a person who goes by at resist underscore zero five posted this from 13 years ago from a documentary from Press TV. 13 years ago, the president of the Council of National Interest Foundation sounded the alarm on the influence, and he appears with Judge Napolitano oftentimes, he sounded the alarm on the influence of AIPAC over the politicians
Starting point is 01:07:07 and the money America was sending to Israel. So here we go. I think you'll find this interesting. Tempers flared at the prestigious National Press Club in Washington, D.C. You have gone there as a radical leftist who hates Jews in order to... Don't you stick things in my face. A pro-Israeli advocate knocked a camera out of the hands of Alison Weir, president of the Council for the National Interest Foundation. The group just finished their press conference on what they call unjustifiable USA to Israel. The two sides met when the press club scheduled a pro-Israeli news conference to follow,
Starting point is 01:07:49 held in the same room. The altercation illustrates heightened tensions on differing views regarding America's relationship with Israel. The Council for the National... So remember, whatever they decide is America's relationship with Israel, you in the land of the free, that's also your relationship with Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, the Philippines, Australia, Hong Kong, all those places where the United States military is active. It's awesome. Just keep it in mind.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Couldn't get any better than this, mom. Thank you, repo man. Interest Foundation wants Americans to know how much of their tax dollars are going to israel three trillion dollars that's including a massive amount of direct money to israel then a lot of hidden costs cnif alleges israel receives so much aid and special treatment because the u.s congress is controlled by aipac america's pro-israeli lobby executive director philip gerardi says israel spends a lot of money on u.s elections there are many israeli packs and they do give a lot of money very selectively to congressmen that they want to support the council for the national interest
Starting point is 01:08:57 foundation says many members of congress fear if they don't always side with israel that they will face retaliation in their own reelection campaigns. If a congressman crosses the Israel lobby by voting against aid for Israel or voting against some legislation that Israel favors, they very often will find that the next time they're running for office, there will be a candidate put up against them who is very well funded. Giraldi is a former CIA counterterrorism expert. He questions why America gives aid to Israel when Israel conducts more espionage for profit against the U.S. than any other U.S.-friendly country.
Starting point is 01:09:38 They steal military technology. They steal information that is useful for telecommunications. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Karen Katowski works at the Pentagon and says Israel receives preferential treatment. We do not question what the Israelis want. Katowski believes America is beginning to take more interest in U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, in large part due to tough economic times. More and more Americans want to know where their hard-earned tax dollars are going and why. All right. So I love that. They want to know where their hard-earned tax dollars are going. Well, that's the whole thing when you collectivize it. The point is, as Frederick Bastia said, the state is that great fiction whereby everyone tries to live off of everyone else. And this is
Starting point is 01:10:23 not just to be selective about the United States policies regarding Israel and what's going on in Israel, because you can apply this in a neutral fashion to the United States, as I said, in so many other areas, whether it's the new base that they opened up last year in Poland. And of course, when Joe Biden went into Poland and he met members of the 101st Airborne Division back then. He was talking about Ukraine and he's like, oh, they're really courageous people. Almost as courageous as I was when I was playing professional baseball on top of the truck that I was driving. And I wasn't talking to Hunter Biden about anything having to do with China or Burisma.
Starting point is 01:11:00 And hey, man, I'm going to take you out behind the corn shed and beat you up behind the gym, whatever, you know, whatever nonsense he was spewing. The United States policies regarding Poland, when he went there, he actually said to these guys, you've been in Ukraine, you'll know that there are very courageous people. Oh, some of you have already been there. He let the cat out of the bag. United States troops were already on the ground in Ukraine. And as I mentioned before on my show, just to give you an idea of some of the funky things that go on behind the curtain, I was reporting on the overthrow of Ukraine in 2013 because I was sort of tipped off to the United States' interest in isolating Russian energy exports. Back in 2011, I was tipped off to this, I think, of 2011,
Starting point is 01:11:46 when I was out West, my friend Glenn, who used to play, you know, Glenn Jacobs, he's the mayor of Knox County now. And so I think he was on when I filled in for David one other time. Great guy, obviously very opposed to the lockdowns and mask mandates and stuff like that. Really great guy in Tennessee and Knox County. Glenn used to play Kane in the WWE. And so I was out there working on a script for somebody on contract. And Glenn said, oh, I'm going to be in LA. You want to grab some dinner? So we went to a Middle Eastern restaurant and the guy knew Glenn and he came over to us. The manager came
Starting point is 01:12:19 over after and started talking about what the United States was going to start to do in Syria. He says, you watch, they're going to try to overthrow Assad. Assad's not a great guy, but they want to stop Russian energy exports. They have a pipeline they're going to be building over to Eastern Europe. They don't want that. They want to play with the Saudis to keep the dollar afloat. And of course, the Russians had already dropped a lot of the long-term bonds starting in 2009 because of the Obama American Recovery Act pumping all the money into the system. They knew that if they got paid back on long-term bonds, the money would be worth a lot less than when they invested it. So why get it when you're cutting out a certain percentage of your return? So they started to invest in gold. And of course, that was when the whole move for
Starting point is 01:12:58 BRICS started up. So I saw what was going on. I was watching and I saw when they overthrew Yanukovych in late 2013 and they had the Maidan coup. Yanukovych had just made a deal with the Russians for about, I think months later, Victoria Nuland, Jeffrey Pyatt get caught on the F the EU conversation on the phone. And what happens? You hear them, if you pay attention, obviously people in this audience probably do, but if you pay attention to something other than what the media wanted people to focus on, which was the F part of it, you can see that they're discussing working with a guy named Chani Bak, who is the head of the Slovodov party, which is a neo-Nazi party. There are photographs of him with Joe Biden, with Lindsey Graham, with Amy Klobuchar and others, John McCain as well. And we, we hate those Nazis. Oh really? Yeah. We support Israel. Then why are you working with Nazis in Ukraine? I mean, the whole thing's ridiculous. RT did some very good coverage in a documentary
Starting point is 01:14:05 showing the post the Cold War work of the United States working with dissidents from Ukraine to get back into Ukraine, to use Ukraine as a chess piece as the USSR started to dissolve. And then the continuation of the propping up of those people with hardcore neo-nationalist heroes that had actually worked with the Germans, the Nazis in Germany. And that's where that whole melange comes from. And it is a bitter taste in brew. That's for darn sure. But the United States government, it's not just Israel. I think right in front of us, we're seeing manifest some of the most blatant, terrible things that are exposures of the genocide that's been going on in Israel. But of course, what's been going on with the United States and NATO expansion
Starting point is 01:14:51 towards Russia, contrary to what James Baker promised the revivified Russian government back in 1995, I think, that's very clear as well. There's a great book called How the West Brought War to Ukraine. And if you go to the antiwar.com website, I think they have an ad for it over on one of their panels. I read it out loud in pieces on Liberty Conspiracy a few nights in a row. And it seemed like the audience appreciated that. I want to turn to our Rumble audience, our Rockfin audience, and our ex-audience here on the David Knight Show. Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David. I do the Liberty Conspiracy, 6 o'clock p.m. on Monday through Friday at Rumble at Rockfin. You can follow me on X at Gard Goldsmith, G-A-R-D Goldsmith. And I should mention,
Starting point is 01:15:37 I went to Boston University, and the population there is like 80-something percent Jewish people, right? But there's sort of the Ashkenazi Jew people. And they thought that I was Jewish because my last name is Goldsmith. It's actually an English and Irish. It's an English name. And I come from English and Irish stock. It's like Naylor or Farmer or, you know, Cook, any of those professional names from from the UK. But I would hear them say things because they thought I was Jewish. A lot of the kids there say things about the Palestinians. I couldn't really understand it.
Starting point is 01:16:10 It was just alien. They just didn't even think of them as human beings. It was bizarre. And now I'm seeing it manifest. And I sort of didn't think about it once I got out of BU, but it's really come back and it is not good. I want to mention inside Rumble, a lot of great, great quotes in here from a number of folks. And I want to go back if I can to see. Oh, I see M. Sellers says, Glenn Jacobs is my mayor. Thank you. Uh, also there was someone else in here who had a great handle. I don't know whether I'll be able to find it. I see Michelle bomb. Obama is there. Um, oh, and, uh, uh, D O N T C do not obey in leet speak says I choose freedom over force. And someone says, Harumph way to go. Threeooges. I dig it. That's excellent. Trucker Chris FTW says, Hitler had all kinds of price controls on his economy and it worked for the people. The issue, once again, isn't a policy. It's the people implementing the policy. Well, I disagree with you.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Price controls never work. They're immoral. And it's, as people say, you know, it's economics 101. Price controls disrupt the price signal. The only way that you can find out how people value something is if you allow them the free will to exchange in a free market, free from fetters from other people and directions from other people. That is the only way that actually resources can be recognized. As I've mentioned on Liberty Conspiracies, I have taught economics, resources that we generally call resources aren't even really resources until human beings apply a value to it that supersedes the value over other things. So for example, the whales and whale oil was becoming very expensive, but thanks to the creation of diesel fuel, they were able, which was actually quite expensive when it was first put out, but whales were becoming so dear and difficult to get. And it was so, so dangerous to go whaling that it got to a price point where they said, okay,
Starting point is 01:18:22 the signals from people, they're saying this is very difficult to get. It's not as easy to get. It's not in as great quantity. The price is going up. The demand is not decreasing for, say, lanterns at night. And if you walked into people's houses in 1790, it would have smelled like paraffin and fish oil because they were burning whale oil to keep lanterns going. But carosene was something that as a replacement, eventually the price of it, signaled by people, saw that they could switch over. And then more people saw that there was a profit to be made. So they
Starting point is 01:19:00 switched their time and their resources into creation of diesel, the movement of diesel, the refining of diesel and the whole diesel industry. You have to allow for those individuals who want to express their values personally to express them at the moment of sale in the price. That information, that price is then turned into information that others can see. And the market is allowed to be regulated by individuals. Central planning never works. And even in a war economy, what you discover, like they often say, oh, you know, the World War II brought the United States out of the Great Depression. That's false.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Robert Higgs, one of the first pieces I read by economist and an economic historian, Robert Higgs, was all about how at the time they were turning resources into things like tanks, not refrigerators or washing machines or beds for hospitals or new houses for people. So you're shifting all those resources. And when you put price controls on things, you're shifting the ability of people to be able to decide what the proper price is for them. And you're retarding the proper movement of resources and human resources into areas that people want. So it's just axiomatic that price controls are bad mojo. They're immoral and they're bad for an
Starting point is 01:20:17 economy. And you can try to splice out areas where, well, it was a wartime economy and they were successful. Sorry. When you're having a normal economy, people aren't going to want to invest in, say, oh, I don't know, bombs and weapons as much as the U.S. government will want to or the central planners will want to with their favors given to special people. So I wanted to bring that up. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate that, Chuck.
Starting point is 01:20:42 I appreciate that. And then we've got a lot of other folks here. We've got Michelle Obama. Thank you. And don't forget, everybody, you can contribute to the David Knight Show inside Rumble, inside Rockfin. Hopefully here the last day of the month, I can do a little bit of work and bring in some donations to the show. And I also want to mention that the David Knight Show has some good folks who contributed at Patriot Bee Best. And I wanted to bring up their website so that I could show it to you. I went over and it's really interesting. And I actually know a person, I don't think he was inspired by Patriot Bee Best,
Starting point is 01:21:21 but he just got into beekeeping and getting honey. Patriot Bee Best, if you want to find out how to help bees survive and prosper, go to patriotbeebest.com. They have a lot of really interesting items and you can grab those. You can go to their site and check out all the great things they have for suggestions on how to get folks who are patriotic folks and believe in being independent to restore the American bee population. It's Patriot Bee Best. And I want to thank them for supporting the David Knight Show. Patriot Bee Best. Check them out. They're very, very cool. And you can get all sorts of really cool documents. You can buy separate documents. You can subscribe. Anything you want at patriotbebest.com if you're interested in this,
Starting point is 01:22:09 or you just want to learn a little bit from people who know what they're doing. Very interesting stuff to see. I appreciate what they do. All right. And I also want to thank Martin Thorne for commenting inside X. He says, thought provokers. That was a while back. Thank you, Martin. Appreciate that very, very much. Okay. So a couple items that I want to sort of round off here on the reactions from CNN, all the gamesmanship. While all that is going on, don't forget that they hate free speech. So I want to give an update about the Durov situation and Telegram. And for that, I want to bring in a little bit of a theme.
Starting point is 01:22:49 This, again, is from the Psychedelic Furs. This is a song called Entertain Me. And this is when the Psychedelic Furs, who a lot of people thought were sort of poppy, not, you know, sort of new wave pop. Their first two albums are incredibly powerful incredibly dark so two of the best albums ever recorded steve lily white working on the production of it and then they went with forever now working with todd rungren where you see president gas the song
Starting point is 01:23:16 i just played very very astute lyrics they also do another song called forever now where they mention the character of president gas and they, President Gas is tap dancing for the banker. He's a thief. He isn't very honest, but he's obvious, at least. It's very good stuff. And he talks about the worthlessness of paper money, fiat currency. They're on the ball. They know what they're talking about. It's like a verse. So this is a song called Entertain Me, which comes from their album after they did a little bit of a stint when pretty in pink was used for that movie and they redid it made it a little more slick and so on they came back with an album called book of days and it is a cacophony it's epic and this is a song told from the perspective of a singer who can't really understand why people sort of want to live vicariously
Starting point is 01:24:06 through him, like he's a cipher or an avatar for them. And the lyrics are, speak, talk to me, show what I am and cannot be, entertain me. I thought that was pretty interesting coming from a guy who earned most of his living doing that. So I play this as an opening on my show as a way to introduce the subject of free speech. And it is quite a noisy song. It's good. Thank you. Speak, talk to me, show what I am and cannot be Talk, entertain me why the want for all that i can't touch and all that i can't see why the want for all that i can't speak so the question is can you speak or is it going to be entertainment like the folks on CNN? Well, let's go to, I think, a really good recapper on the Durov situation and Telegram.
Starting point is 01:25:54 This came from Glenn Greenwald from his system update. It's a terrific overview. Want to give this to you right away. Here we go. On Monday night's episode, we covered what we understood right away was the very disturbing and from the perspective of internet freedom, very dangerous news that the Russian born founder and CEO of the privacy app platform Telegram that is used by close to a billion people on every continent around the world to speak with privacy and with freedom, was detained by the French police immediately upon landing his jet in Paris.
Starting point is 01:26:32 Now, one of the mysteries of that incident was why would he go to France, given what I'm certain had been the informed and understood risk that he might be arrested in France, given the French government's growing anger with free speech platforms, including Rumble, which is no longer available in France. And one of the reports from a reliable French newspaper suggested that the reason Pavlodurov traveled to France was he was invited to lunch by French President Emmanuel Macron, which certainly seems to have been a pretextual invitation designed to lure the Telegram founder onto French soil so that he could be arrested and then prosecuted. There was a lot of speculation about what those charges were.
Starting point is 01:27:15 We covered a press release by the prosecutors that didn't make clear explicitly that it was about Pavel Durov on Monday night, but now we have confirmation that the detention was based on a series of charges that a court has in its first instance found is a plausible and reasonable set of crimes that warrant further investigation and that require Pavel Durab to remain in France, bar him from leaving France, pay millions of dollars in order to be free. And if you look at this indictment, which we're about to show you, essentially, it would be the end of internet freedom. It would be the clear message to anyone who has any sort of tech platform, whether it be Rumble or Twitter
Starting point is 01:27:56 or anything else, that they had better start immediately and unquestioningly complying with every order from every government, including Western European governments, not only about the censorship orders those governments issue, but also their demands to have full and unfettered access to the private data information of every user. And if they even think about failing, if they don't build their system to give these governments a backdoor, they very well may end up being criminally prosecuted. And if Pavel Dura, a multi-billionaire, can be, obviously any of the other ones can as well. Now let's go back up to the top a little bit and we will see
Starting point is 01:28:34 the document released by the French prosecutors today, just to give you a sense for how sweeping and deliberately dangerous these charges are. There's the prosecutor of the Republic, and this is his statement, quote, Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of instant messenger and platform Telegram, was arrested in the outskirts of Paris on Saturday, the 24th of August, then taken into police custody at 8 p.m. This measure comes in the context of a judicial investigation opened on the 8th of July, 2024, following a preliminary inquiry initiated by Section J3 of the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office, specifically the organ that fights against, quote, cybercrime. The document goes on, quote, this judicial investigation
Starting point is 01:29:16 was opened against persons unnamed on charges of, quote, and there's a variety of charges that we told you about on Monday night called complicity, in which it's alleged that a variety of users on Telegram, not Pablo Durov, but other users use Telegram to engage in various crimes, whether money laundering or sale of prohibited technology or the sale and transfer of child pornography. And the charges against Pablo Durov stem from a theory that as the operator of the social media platform, he can be criminally liable for the criminal acts of anybody who uses his platform. Which as I said, when we first reported this would be akin to arresting AT&T
Starting point is 01:29:57 executives and charging them with the crimes of allowing people who have a platform who say use the telephone to commit and plan criminal acts. Obviously, the second that you bring in a prosecution like that, the telephone companies will be highly incentivized to shut down the accounts of any conceivable person who even breathes an ounce of dissent and only allow people who are full-fledged explicit supporters of the US government or its ideological dogma to communicate. It's the same analogy for operators of these tech platforms. Now, in addition to all of these complicity charges, meaning if someone commits a crime
Starting point is 01:30:37 using your platform, so somebody uses Twitter to spread criminal disinformation in France, and then Elon Musk can become criminally liable for that, or Mark Zuckerberg can be if that happens on Facebook. There's also other charges here that are even more disturbing, including, quote, the refusal to communicate at the request of competent authorities information or documents necessary for carrying out and operating interceptions allowed by law. In other words, when the French government wants Telegram to turn over information about its users, even though Telegram is
Starting point is 01:31:10 constructed with an encryption shell that makes it impossible even for Telegram to find out that data, simply building a privacy app with encryption that cannot have a back door, that does not have a back door that allows the government or even Telegram to enter is itself now a criminal offense that can not only result in prosecution of the corporation or fines of the corporation, but arrest of the individuals who are running that corporation. Now, if we go down a little bit, we will see there's a bunch of complicity charges, but then there's also this charge that is unbelievably alarming quote
Starting point is 01:31:47 providing cryptology services aiming to ensure confidentiality without certified decoration in other words anybody who provides encryption which was the technology that really became popular after the snowden reporting as a way for people to protect their communications from government intervention simply providing encryption and the second charge here is, quote, providing a cryptology tool, not solely ensuring authentication or integrity monitoring without prior declaration. Any kind of encryption that doesn't allow the government to have a backdoor to have full access to it is now a criminal offense that can subject the heads of these technology companies to prison. Okay, so I want to pause it there, everybody, just to let you know,
Starting point is 01:32:30 initially, folks like Jonathan Turley, during the, at the very first of Pavel Durov arrest news, people like Jonathan Turley had said, you know, this has to he said he thought it had to do with the Digital Services Act, Services Act of the EU, which is being they're trying to apply that to force Twitter slash X to allow for censorship. But a lot of people like David and others were saying, I think a lot of this on a parallel track, actually, it has to do with trying to gain access backdoors, as Glenn Greenwald said. That seems to have been confirmed. And it does seem like it's the French government which is doing it itself. But the Digital Services Act of the EU, Ofcom up in the UK, and what they're doing to free speech there just for people who are reposting things on Facebook that they say is anti-Semitic or Islamophobic because they don't like the idea that the government is paying for people to migrate to small towns in England. Somehow that
Starting point is 01:33:41 is Islamophobic. Any way that they can broad brush and paint the enemy as the bad guy that they see who might be opposing their state policies, their growth of this hegemonic one world concept that will control everything in the giant we, they will go after those people. And what Glenn Greenwald said there, I thought was very pertinent. And I think it's also important to bring up what I mentioned a little bit earlier, which is that the employees of Telegram have left Dubai. This could have an impact on the employees. And if you extrapolate that, let's not forget, first, before I even go into the employee point, when he talks about encryption, I would like to remind people, I wrote an article for MRCTV back in the start of the year, because at the start of the year, El Presidente, Joe Biden, issued another massively unconstitutional executive order. The executive order was for national security. So of course, it's all about you. It's all about the security of the public, which is they claim you. But if
Starting point is 01:34:52 you actually want to be left alone, no, the public will crush your rights. Their claim of the interest of the public, the greater good, of course, it's like public health. It's like all that stuff. National defense is the same thing as public health. It's all your rights can be eliminated for the protection and furtherance of state action that actually puts everyone at risk. And then what it does is even when they pick off one person, say they drone strike a man who's a U.S. citizen overseas or they drone strike his son, right? Al-Awlaki and his son without trial, totally extrajudicial murder. Right. Let's say they do that. That doesn't mean that your risk of being targeted has decreased at all. There's at least no change and it might've increased because now the pool of targets is two people smaller. So the state is always your enemy.
Starting point is 01:35:58 It can only exist by claiming it's there for your protection and then telling you, you have to pay for your protection. And if you want to find out whether it's there for your protection and then telling you you have to pay for your protection. And if you want to find out whether it's a gangland thug agency, whether it's a protection racket, just try asking to not pay for it sometime and you'll see what happens. That's the nature of the state. It doesn't protect rights. It invades rights and claims that it's protecting everybody's rights. That's not possible. It can't protect everybody's rights and take your money at the same time. And then you get into the operations of the state where supposedly you have free speech rights, right? Well, if they make everything a public place, which the Marsh v. Alabama decision essentially does, it's up to the
Starting point is 01:36:41 government to decide, well, is this for commerce? Is this for that? No, they're opening up your private property to their government controls over what is good for the public. And that's exactly what they're trying to do with all these online platforms. They're trying to say, this is for the public safety. We're going to try to stop child porn or drug trafficking like the Silk Road. We're going to imprison Ross Ulbricht. He didn't do anything wrong. We're not going to go after the specific people who are involved in this trafficking. We're going to actually just make sure that we pressure people like Facebook, people at Facebook or Meta, even though they're ideologically with them, or people at Twitter and slash
Starting point is 01:37:20 X. And, you know, people question whether Elon Musk is in this for some sort of long game or not, or they go after Pavel Durov and they're going to pressure them to open things up. But at the same time, once they've got that opened up to them, they don't seem to go after the people whom they claimed they were trying to get access in order to stop. Those would be the child predators and so on and so forth. So I think it's important to bring this up because not only does it apply to Pavel Durov, but it applies to the employees. As this person, Mario Nafal, wrote, Telegram's Dubai office where Pavel Durov moved the company in 2017 has been vacant since his detention. No employees have been seen and the building's security directory lists no contact information.
Starting point is 01:38:08 A French magistrate has charged Durov with six preliminary criminal counts for allegedly permitting illegal activities on the app. He has posted bail of five million euros and is barred from leaving France. And he has his sources noted there, the Wall Street Journal and RT. And then it gets even worse for more people. Because why? For people who are creators, or maybe you're donating. What happens if you're donating at a free speech platform like Rumble, and they're taking a percentage, maybe that sort of thing, or Rockfin, then you're contributing to this online platform where if they're not censoring, if they're not doing what the policing agencies want, whether it's in the United States or anywhere else, then you too and creators like me,
Starting point is 01:38:56 like David, we could be shut down. They could come after us. And just to bring it up again, the executive order from Joe Biden at the start of the year said that any software company or developer, individual developer, who's developing something that the government defines could be used for a biological or military purpose, has to give the federal government, the executive branch, access to all of their algorithms, all of their software, and all of their backdoor security. That is an executive order that Joe Biden issued at the start of the year. And they will define what is biological security, what is to fight the next pandemic, any of that stuff where they claim,
Starting point is 01:39:46 as they've already been funding all that gain of function research, they shouldn't even be funding any viral research. The NIH, the CDC, they shouldn't even exist constitutionally or morally, and yet they do. And somehow RFK Jr. thinks he's going to change things by, I don't know. I have no idea how he's going to do it. What's he going to do? Try to stop donations from eventually getting into the people who decide who's going to be appointed at the NIH and CDC? That's not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:40:14 They'll find ways around it. It's amazing to see what's going on here. And the other thing I want to bring up is, you know, David played that shot, that video from Surprise, Arizona of the young woman who had had some problems with members of the government. And she went to the meeting with the mayor. I played it on my show as well. And they forced her to sign a document in order to be able to speak for her wonderful three-minute allotment to speak to the mayor and the city board. So they pulled her away because they didn't like what she was saying, and they escorted her out.
Starting point is 01:40:55 In other words, a guy in a costume, a police costume, went and grabbed her, assaulted her, and pulled her out in front of her 10-year-old daughter. That's the real of it. That's person-on-person aggression backed by a bunch of other people who claim they have authority over that woman. And she's just trying to say, leave me alone. Well, not only did they not leave her alone through the government's operations before that, they certainly didn't leave her alone in the room. And this gets us to the big problem of public places versus private places. Public places introduce in economics what's called the tragedy of the commons. Anything that is not privately owned will see all the people who are forced to pay for it, in this case government, try to utilize the resource the way they want to and to do it
Starting point is 01:41:42 before other people do, which then depletes the resource. You don't actually see the actual price being reflected on what people claim is the value of it. You can't see people turning to alternatives and turning things that were mineral sludge like oil into a resource. Again, that term resource only comes about when people realize that there's a really good use for it and it's valuable, right? Even water, the collection of water takes some sort of human ingenuity unless you're living near a river. And then it comes up to property rights or lakes or something like that to make sure that people can manage that properly. And they come up with these things organically, right? They work with each other. That's why local communities are best.
Starting point is 01:42:24 You can see the people who are offensive. You can try to handle it. And if you don't like what's going on locally, you can escape. I brought up before the ancient Irish had the Brehon law system for a thousand years. Nobody was forced to pay for it. It was a tribal clan system, no taxes. It was done through reputation and exclusion. The ancient Israelites, when they fled Egypt for years, they had the tribal system with the elders as the judges before they brought in the king. And they were warned, don't bring in a king. You're going to give up a tenth of your crops. Your women will be taken advantage of. Your men will be sent off to war for the ideas and the agendas of the state. Don't do it. What was the theme for Beretta? Don't do it
Starting point is 01:43:07 by Sammy Davis Jr., right? Eye of the Sparrow was the song. Keep your eye on the sparrow. So when you've got a public room like that, or we can extrapolate and talk about a courtroom, supposedly you have the right to free speech. Congress is not supposed to write any laws about that. A lot of people look at these free speech issues saying, oh, that's a First Amendment abridgment by a locality or a city or something, a state. Actually, you're supposed to be looking at the state constitution because Congress is delineated in the First Amendment and many states had speech codes and they gave money to religious institutions all the way through to the Reconstruction era. But if you look at the state of Arizona, it has speech protections in it. So here's a question. You're also supposed to have the right to due process and a speedy trial amongst in front of your peers, a fair trial. So what happens if you get into the tax-provided government-run Tragedyof-the-commons courtroom and someone wants to sing when you're on trial? That person has a First Amendment right to say whatever he wants, wherever he or she
Starting point is 01:44:14 wants, right? But you supposedly have a protected right to a speedy trial in front of your peers. So those two can't comport. You can't have a public place and allow for everybody's rights. You can't have publicly run land and allow everybody to see their interests facilitated on the land. It just doesn't work. The government is not a facilitator and protector of rights.
Starting point is 01:44:37 The state is an invader and manipulator and manager of rights based on what the state thinks takes precedence. And that woman in Arizona, in Surprise, Arizona, her free speech rights certainly didn't take precedent to what the mayor thought was more important, the operation of the government. And that goes towards anything that they turn into a public place. If people think that these social platforms are so-called the public square, then it doesn't open everything up to everybody having a right to say anything. It opens it up to the government managing it because they can't allow everybody to say everything. And then they're going to come
Starting point is 01:45:14 up with excuses to say, well, we certainly can't allow everybody to say anything. We need these backdoors. We need to suppress and pressure the people who run these companies if they don't allow us the back door to unlock their doors because we're trying to protect people. So the state and rights are totally different things. And no state exists to protect your rights. The states can only exist by being parasitic off of society. They are sociopathic. That by definition, that's just lexicography. That's the way it is. That's the definition of it, right? It is. And so what we're seeing with this man, Pavel Durov, is something that they're trying to repeat all over the place, and it could become even worse. on people in the UK who are being arrested on the speech things. And then it looks like Carla couldn't join us. I just checked to see if I get the reply on Twitter
Starting point is 01:46:11 while I was playing the Glenn Greenwald video. It looks like Carla can't join us from the Free State Project. So we'll talk about this one real quick. I want to go to, don't forget that ProPeace, son of two Nobel Peace Prize winners, for what that's worth, given that Obama got one. And was it Al Gore got the Nobel Prize for science? I don't know what he got.
Starting point is 01:46:34 Or was it for lying? I don't know. But Richard Medhurst is a longtime journalist. He comes from a thousand years of families in England. He got detained and arrested under their Terrorism Act for the protection of everybody at Heathrow Airport when he returned from one of his trips on a journalism trip. Also, another person has been arrested, as Roger Waters discusses. She was just released, but she's a journalist. British human rights activist and social media journalist influencer Sarah Wilkinson was arrested by UK police on the 29th of August, reportedly over so-called content that she posted online. You don't want to collectivize this stuff.
Starting point is 01:47:16 The police came to her house just before 7.30 a.m., 12 of them in total, some of them in plain clothes, from the, again, like Medhurst, counterterrorism police. They said she was under arrest for content that she has posted online. Her house has been raided and they have seized all her electric electronic devices. Jack Wilkinson said that he was quoted on the social media account of Suppressed News, which is where she publishes. Now let's hear from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, who has some thoughts on this. So, 12 cops, the old bill, come around to the house and arrest you. Sarah Wilkinson, I'm talking about now. They arrest you for standing up for human rights,
Starting point is 01:48:06 campaigning against genocide. We know that these are policies that Keir Starmer doesn't agree with and Rishi Sunak didn't agree with. But you cannot get the old bill to come around and arrest people who have hearts and minds and have made up their own mind what they think about foreign policy. This is wrong. If you allow this to stand, the arrest of Sarah Wilkinson and the persecution of my friend Craig Murray, among others, then you have absolutely accepted that England is now a fascist
Starting point is 01:48:49 state. 1984 has arrived and is alive and well in the United Kingdom over my dead body. Well done. Good job, Roger Waters. Appreciate what he did. And just to let you know, everybody, the mention of Craig Murray, I've had Craig Murray on my show. I have a personal interest in that. Craig Murray has been on my show. We were talking about Julian Assange, and he is a remarkable guy, former ambassador, stood for election to parliament just recently and didn't win. But he has been very, very outspoken about the expansion of NATO, the United States weapons and British weapons. They have manufacturing plants in England where people have been protesting weapons in the Middle East. And so kudos to Roger Waters. Again, great work by him.
Starting point is 01:49:46 I appreciate what he has done and those criticisms of him being somehow anti-Semitic. I don't understand when you're standing for the Semitic peoples of Palestine, how you can be anti-Semitic when you're talking about state policies. What does that have to do with the people? I don't get it. It's ridiculous. So get ready with some of your comments. Going to take a quick break. Here's some of the wonderful music that David has put together. And read some of the comments and contributions from people on the David Knight Show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David.
Starting point is 01:50:16 And thanks for being here, everybody. I really appreciate you being here on this last day of the month. Don't forget that you can contribute and help out with The David Knight Show. I really appreciate anybody who is willing to contribute or offer thoughts. And especially if you want to help him get over the hump towards the end of the month on The David Knight Show. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show great stuff boy he's just got so much talent a couple quick reminders and then we'll hop into the chats and see what your opinions are and so on i want to mention this uh over at my mrc tv uh page you'll see that i wrote an article recently about uh continuation uh actually this is the first part we'll tell recently about a continuation. Actually, this is the first part.
Starting point is 01:52:05 We'll tell you about the continuation of it. Extreme misogyny. This is something David brought up last week on the program around this time, I think, is going to be considered a national security threat in the UK. So as a quick reminder of some of the things that the UK government has done to people, let's not forget what they did starting in 2018 when they went after Count Dankula. I have my Count Dankula shirt. And they targeted him for simply doing a spoof of Adolf Hitler with his pug. Then, of course, the British government prosecuted a retired scientist for holding a sign that offered conversation to people outside an abortion mill. The man was, I believe,
Starting point is 01:52:41 62 years old. And as I mentioned here, in 1984, the line from Winston Smith, he thinks to himself, nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull. And I mentioned that this man was a 62-year-old retired medical scientist, and he was just holding a sign that said, here to talk if you want to. And then there were other instances of a woman silently praying on a sidewalk. They arrested her. British woman arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. And she was honest enough to tell them what she was thinking as the aggressive cops who get paid on her dime took her away. I believe she just had a settlement from them,
Starting point is 01:53:25 actually, for I think it was 18,000 pounds. And there's a lot more that they've been doing recently. Of course, the shocking, as I mentioned, shocking Heathrow Airport arrest under section 12 of the 2000 Terrorism Act. That's Richard Medhurst right there. And there's a great video that he did. You can follow him on X at Rich I, the letter I, Medhurst, M-E-D-H-U-R-S-T. You'll see me reposting a lot of his material. So if you want to see, and if you can't remember it, just head over from my site at guardgoldsmith on and then of course uh there is uh there's even more but here uh they're saying police are openly bullying people who post information or opinions the state doesn't like and camilla turner reports for the telegraph that the home secretary of bed
Starting point is 01:54:18 cooper has ordered a review for 2025 to add extreme misogyny to their possible arrests of people for so-called national security. But in addition to that, there is more information about how they're now thinking about reintroducing monitors, actual video monitors, which they had stopped the mass recording of non-crime hate incidents under Keir Starmer, you know, the labor man. And I mentioned earlier on my program on Liberty Conspiracy, I found a bit of delight in seeing a 2021 video during the lockdowns of a pub owner in Bath who was telling Keir Starmer to get out of his pub in Bath because Keir Starmer was pushing on the lockdowns, loved the lockdowns. The man said, you're ruining my business. Get out, get out, get out. And one of Keir Starmer's guards, then he was just a member of parliament,
Starting point is 01:55:18 of course, not the PM at number X Downing Street. One of the bodyguards was trying to push the guy around in his own pub, in the entrance of his pub. Well, it turns out that was the very first pub in which I ate in Bath. That's the very first place where I got fish and chips and mashed peas. So now they're trying to expand it. They're going to make it even worse. Let's head into, now that might not necessarily lead to arrests, but they're going to start the video monitoring again. Let's go over to Rockfin. I want to thank JHJA. I want to make sure I've got that right. JJA. Thank you, JJA, for your contribution to the program. As we head out
Starting point is 01:55:57 through the end of the month to help out the David Knight Show, really appreciate that very, very much so. And anyone can contribute live here. I will definitely look for that. And we're looking at Rumble as well. Thank you all inside Rumble for being there. Tony Garrett, hello. I see, let's see, do not obey. Thank you again.
Starting point is 01:56:19 He says, I won't participate in evil collectivism. We have, let's see, Tony, thanks. He says, if you're asked, if you're silently praying, silently answer the question. That's great. Compelled speech, as Thomas Jefferson would say. And again, thanks to everyone who's watching on X. Comments, we got a cult priestess inside Rockbin. Dougalug is there. And thanks for listening, Dougalug.
Starting point is 01:56:53 And thank you for making me feel so at home to you. I want to thank you. And I want to thank David and Travis and everyone, Karen, everyone who's just been so wonderful. And don't forget tomorrow, 10 a.m. on Rumble. Check out the Foxhole. It's a great show. Jason Barker, one of the two founders of Knights of the Storm. Awesome, awesome people.
Starting point is 01:57:14 And let's take the opportunity now to talk about other cool websites and some places that I might suggest to you as we round off this hour of the program. I want to give you a little preview to something we're going to discuss in just a minute. Let's go with a slightly different theme, everybody. Let's start talking about the climate cult on The David Knight Show. And when we have the opportunity to talk about the climate cult, sometimes I like to play a little something to cool off. I play a little something that is part of that theme. I get the opportunity to go with cool in the gang. Too hot. It's too hot, too hot, too hot, lady.
Starting point is 01:58:02 I gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade It's too hot, too hot, too hot, too hot Gotta cool this anger, what a mess we have made So long ago, you were my love, oh my love That's some good stuff. Is that from the Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's rock concert? I don't know which, but they are cool. Love cooling the gang.
Starting point is 01:58:34 And that's a little theme to talk about global climate warming change. So we have some interesting information coming to you on GM's latest delay. A shocker coming on the delay from Ford, I know. Don't forget, a number of, I think it was GM dealers, broke off from GM because they didn't want to take the EV cars anymore because they're not selling. They're sitting on the lot. They require energy to keep the batteries going. That's expensive. There are potential fire hazards, as we just saw with the Rivian plant where they were making batteries.
Starting point is 01:59:09 I'll show you that story. Up in Illinois, terrible fire there destroyed 50 cars in a parking lot. I am now shying away from parking garages when I go down to Boston because I'm worried that one of those cars, maybe it got some saltwater or maybe it hit a pothole because the Boston streets are so awesome. So maybe the battery might be ready to explode near my car. Not good. And of course, they're super heavy. So how many of those electric vehicles can they allow into parking garages, which are not designed for that in the same space with increased weight? So here's the latest from GM.
Starting point is 01:59:46 They're delaying their Indiana battery factory and the latest EV pullback. Hmm. It's almost like central planning doesn't work. Hmm. Future plant with Samsung to start output in 2027, about a year later than planned. Okay. Good luck with that one. Yep.
Starting point is 02:00:04 That's great. I wonder why they might've changed their plans. Maybe it's because they're not selling well. Well, don't forget everybody. Very important to keep this in mind that one person's very upset about electric batteries. And that is Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is upset about electric batteries, so he doesn't want them used. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. No, it's not that he's upset about car batteries, lithium being mined, all the problems on getting rid of the batteries. No, it's that he doesn't want them to come from China.
Starting point is 02:00:42 It's the China boogeyman. Rubio and a surprise Michigan Republican, car industry anyone, asked the Pentagon to blacklist the world's biggest EV battery maker from contracts. That would be China. There's Marco. Oh, he's awesome. Yep. Just a quick mention on that one because he's just full of class. That's great. And of course, they're going to get rid of TikTok because China's so evil, even though it's not owned by the Chinese government, it's owned by a Chinese company. And the United States wants the back doors and to control things like Facebook and already paid off Twitter three and a half million dollars during the lockdown period to suppress speech they didn't like. You know, the fact that they started up the Ministry of Truth with, what's her name, Jankovic, you know, the singing censor.
Starting point is 02:01:31 Yeah, they don't, the fact that they fund NewsGuard, which has come after me and other people at MRCTV and taken up hours of our time, even though they send us these letters, right? And they say, oh, we have questions about your climate change article. And I was like, well, they didn't click on the hyperlinks there. You need to prove this. Like, oh, I have it. It's in there. I'll show you the study. You didn't click on it. It's busy work. They send us this stuff to keep us from working on other stuff. So I spent four or five hours on a Friday a couple months ago having to write. Eric Scheiner, the head of MRC TV, sends all our replies out. And in my latest
Starting point is 02:02:04 reply, I actually challenged NewsG. And in my latest reply, I actually challenged NewsGuard and I said, hey, it might be constructive. If you'd like to engage in this, we could probably do it for charity. Why don't you have somebody from NewsGuard engage in a debate? I'll go up there with you and we can talk about the issues. They got no reply. Not only did they not get a reply from them on that, MRCTV found out that they downgraded MRCTV via NewsGuard, the subsidized by the federal government tax money NewsGuard. Not only that, but they also downgraded MRCTV before they even acknowledged receiving the replies.
Starting point is 02:02:39 That's NewsGuard. They're classic. And censorship is awesome, especially when it comes to dumb things like the climate change canard. That's great stuff. Let's not forget about that Rivian fire, everybody. Here's the Rivian fire. We can talk to Eric Peters about that. Fire at Rivian's Illinois plant damages multiple EVs. How about multiple, multiple? Nothing like keeping it low key. 50 cars, no injuries. Yeah, that was awesome. The fire lasted for hours because it's so easy to put out. There it is. Awesome, huh? The Rivian fire. And just one other quick one. I think you're going to dig this. Hopefully this is an interesting one. Yeah. Don't forget that it turns out that the head of the Department of Energy, that being Jennifer Granholm, former governor of Michigan, as I mentioned before, when she was governor, she got $6 million of the American Recovery Act that was given to GM split off to go to Proterra, the electric bus maker. And of course, there are multiple municipalities that are now dropping their electric buses because they catch on fire. There was a double-decker electric bus that basically burned for hours in England. It was on a city street.
Starting point is 02:04:03 People were like, ah, this is fun. Well, you know, it's kind of hard to heat the home right now. So maybe we could just, you know, go warm our hands over that. That'll be great. Well, she, after leaving the governorship and getting that money to Proterra, got on the board of Proterra. I know it's a shocker, right? Then after she left the board of Proterra, they know it's a shocker, right? Then after she left the board of Proterra, they
Starting point is 02:04:25 gave her a big stock option. And then when she joined the Biden administration, she didn't reveal her stocks on time. That was actually something for which she could have been prosecuted. And Josh Hawley brought it up to her a while ago. Well, it turns out that she's not alone. There are others who are involved with this institutionalized corruption, as Josh Hawley says, at the DOE. This is from a while ago, but very good points as we hear Josh Hawley bring this up. Oh, there's going to be an ad, so let me skip over this commercial and just play this audio. We're going to have a blast as Josh blasts this woman for her corruption.
Starting point is 02:05:06 Oh, by the way, the stocks that she got from Proterra, as I mentioned on my show a couple of times, she sold them for nearly $3 million about a month before Proterra filed for Chapter 11 government bankruptcy protection. Let's go with Josh Hawley, shall we? Then 130 officials in the Energy Department reported more than 2,700 trades of shares, bonds, and options in companies that ethics officers said was directly related to the agency's work. This is institutionalized corruption. Ah, that's okay. We have no problem with that, do we? Well, everybody, let's get some further thoughts on this. And on my
Starting point is 02:05:45 program, when I introduce guests, I like to introduce them because I spent some time at Star Trek. I like to introduce them with my so-called mind meld theme. So let's go with the mind meld. And because, yes, I did spend some time at Star Trek Voyager in their script department. It was a lot of fun. I got to know a lot of people there. And there was actually
Starting point is 02:06:13 a libertarian there. I'll give you a hint. He created the Borg. So I think you can understand he's not a fan of collectivism. So let's go with that introduction of the mighty mind meld, because it's almost time for us to bring in our guest, the great and awesome Eric
Starting point is 02:06:31 Peters. This is going to be my own with it. Demolish! Eternity ends! Our minds are merging, Doctor. Our minds are one. I feel what you feel. I know what you know. Yes, my friends, it's time for the Mind Meld with none other than Eric Peters of Eric Peters Autos.
Starting point is 02:07:23 Eric, great to have you here on the David Knight Show. When I get to fill in, I love being able to talk to you and being able to talk to you on my show, ericpetersautos.com. Welcome to the program, my friend. How are you? I'm good, Garth. Thanks for having me. And I'll say, I'll do the Dr. Severin thing. We reach. Remember that? Oh, yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. Boy, you've got a great memory. The Star Trek, of course. I'm encyclopedic about that.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Oh, man. And, you know, it really was quite an interesting experience going over there. You know, as I mentioned on my show, I used to take the bus down from Pasadena, and I'd go through all the barrios in Chinatown, and I would get off at the gates at Paramount. I didn't drive in. I took the bus. And, you know, there'd be like Lamborghinis pulling in. And it was interesting to see the way
Starting point is 02:08:08 that, you know, the network of entertainment, the web of entertainment brought so much money from so many places for things that people just enjoyed. And, you know, there was good and bad about Star Trek Voyager, but I really enjoyed hanging out with a lot of those people. And I love hanging out with you, Eric. It's great to have you here. We had a couple of those stories. We had the story of Ford dropping a lot of its EV plans. We had the new GM battery thing. We had the battery fire.
Starting point is 02:08:35 And of course, Kamala Harris, it's just water off her back. She's not even thinking about it. Tell us what your thoughts are on that. And then let's talk about some of the stories at Eric Peters Autos and how to follow you. Let's start. I was listening to the program before I came on and you were talking about Jenny Granholm and the institutionalized corruption. If only it were just institutionalized corruption. You know, they have institutionalized corruption in third world banana republics where everybody understands that the government is corrupt. And if you want to get something done, you have to pay off somebody in the government.
Starting point is 02:09:08 Whether it's the local cop who pulls you over, you give him 20 bucks and he leaves you alone, right? Right, right. Uniquely in this country, you've got not just the institutionalized corruption, but this unctuous, moralizing garbage that goes along with it. They can't be honest about the graft. It's like, okay, we have power and you're going to give us money because that's basically the dynamic here. You know, we're actually doing this for your own good.
Starting point is 02:09:33 Yeah. Yeah. That's one of their modes of defense. It's worse than the mafia. It's terrible. You know, to be preached to by a mugger is just about the most insufferable thing imaginable. Now, the second thing I wanted to mention, you know, you talked about this business with the Rivian fires, and how about the cash burn? I didn't even mention, good point. They admit to losing something like $30,000 on the sale of each one of their vehicles. And, you know, how they continue to stay in business is a very interesting question.
Starting point is 02:10:08 And they continue to stay in business because they're essentially, they're propped up rent-seeking entities that exist solely because of the government. That's it. You know, Tesla created this trend. You know, people constantly talk about how profitable Tesla is.
Starting point is 02:10:22 And it's true that the profitability is based on two things primarily. And neither of those has to do with selling cars as such. The first has to do with stock valuation. And the stock valuation of Tesla has gone through the roof. And why? Because the government has sent out the signal that they're going to force people to buy battery-powered vehicles.
Starting point is 02:10:42 For a time, Tesla was the primary manufacturer of battery powered vehicles. So duh, this forced demand for these vehicles is going to increase the value of the company that makes them. There's that. And the other thing that's not very well known is that Tesla essentially founded its business on extortion via this mechanism called carbon credits. So the government will say to a company that you have to reduce your carbon footprint. That's what they call it, the amount of carbon that you emit. And one of the ways to do that is to pay Elon Musk some money. And what you get then is a credit for Elon not having produced carbon. And you can then use this credit to sort of pay off the government.
Starting point is 02:11:26 And, you know, it's just it's astounding what he has done is to milk the mainline auto industry to finance him. So it's the first instance that I'm aware of. It's like that wasp that lays an egg on a caterpillar, you know, and then the larva grows inside. Yeah. Yeah. And then it casts aside the husk once it's done feeding on it. Right. He's managed to build his business off the backs of his competition using the government. You know, I'm not a fan of Elon Musk for that reason, because he is the greatest grifter rent seeker that I can think of of the past 100 years. And the second reason I don't like the guy is because he postures as a free speech advocate. And that's a lot of nonsense. Ask anybody who is on his platform. Yeah. You've investigated this yourself on X because you yourself have posted about this and said, you know, you've been very skeptical. And I think appropriately so about how many people aren't seeing the so-called benefits of X's openness here. Yeah. Yeah. And now I'm going to be having an article up that will actually provide some backing up of what I'm saying here.
Starting point is 02:12:30 I can't really go into it right now because if I did, they would figure it out. So I'm not going to talk about that right now, but I want to talk about one thing. You know, they have this, this blue check thing, right? You have to be verified. Yeah. Okay. Well, I use my full name. I'm well-known.
Starting point is 02:12:44 I'm not hiding behind a pseudonym or anything. So why would I need to get verified to be on X? Well, the reason is because they want me to pay $8 a month to have my data mined by Elon Musk, and I'm just not going to do that. It's interesting you bring up all of these things because we can attach personalities and their immediate policy moves or business moves. But as we drill down into these things, you mentioned the cost of carbon. I've written numerous times for MRCTV about that so-called cost of carbon. It's all predicated on an absolute canard. The temperature readers that they have outside of air conditioning vents on tarmacs, the temperatures they come up with don't even comport with the satellite data.
Starting point is 02:13:28 And then, of course, we have the whole ClimateGate 1 and 2 from the University of East Anglia, the emails that they caught between people saying, we're not seeing the temperatures that we want. And they say, oh, well, just follow what Michael Mann does. I'm paraphrasing. Hide the decline. Right. We see Michael Mann's own graph, the hockey stick graph, where he doesn't show the medieval warm period. He starts at a cooler period so that it makes it look very alarming as temperatures increase seemingly because not caused by, but some sort of correlation that they claim is causation of the introduction of the internal combustion engine. And as I've mentioned, and I've shown the graph on my show, if you actually look at the graph, Al Gore used it in
Starting point is 02:14:10 Inconvenient Truth, carbon dioxide increases don't precede the temperature increases on their own graph. It's the temperature increases by 800 years that precede the carbon dioxide increases. And yet, you know, so all of that, then they apply, well, it's dangerous to everybody. It's for the public good. So we're going to control everybody and we're going to apply this cost of carbon. And that's one of the areas where I have criticism of Donald Trump again, because he didn't expose that. He just reduced the cost of carbon. It was 50 something dollars under Barack Obama, like 56. And then Trump didn't say, this is ridiculous. This is stupid. You know, even as he was sitting on the oil in Syria,
Starting point is 02:14:52 we're sitting on the oil, we've got the oil in Syria. It's going to be great. We're holding a third of Syria, you know, utterly unconstitutional, you know? Yeah. Thanks. I don't have the hair for it though. But, uh, sometimes I'll have to go as Donald Trump and get an orange wig. Um, they'll probably arrest me. They'll probably charge me with something coming out of New York state, you know? Uh, but, um, uh, he didn't, he didn't reduce the cost of carbon thinking he didn't get rid of it. He just reduced it to seven. Now the Biden administration has brought it up to 61 and they're coordinating that to $61 per metric ton. They're it's it's not it's not killing people. It's not causing the climate canard that they you know, the climate catastrophe. And they're incorporating that through the Federal Reserve System with some of the major banks. The Federal Reserve almost over a year ago directed the banks who obviously are very dependent on the Federal Reserve, and now the Fed can directly buy the bonds of any corporation they want,
Starting point is 02:15:52 thanks to Donald Trump's move with the CARES Act. That was put in there. And they don't even have to expose the bonds they're buying. They don't have to expose their bottom line, open up the books or anything. They can just buy it. So it's pure corporatism, fascism. And they are now telling these major banks, come up with what you're saying. As you drill down into these with the face of Tesla, Elon Musk, you start to expose all of these layer upon layer upon layer of falsehoods and crony capitalism that they've established that hopefully we can sort of open up that onion. You know? Yeah. It's two steps forward, one step back. And it's always in a certain direction,
Starting point is 02:16:42 isn't it? It's not so much fascism, though that's an aspect of it, as it is Fabianism. It's this progression towards the end goal of socialism, which is essentially a softer, squishier version of communism. It's indistinguishable. Ultimately, that's where we're headed. You'll notice that these Republicans, and Trump is one of them, will never, as you say, challenge the underlying principle of something. Absolutely. An excellent example is the Obamacare thing. Once that became cemented in law, you had these Republicans talking about how they were going to repeal and replace.
Starting point is 02:17:17 Not repeal, period, but repeal and replace because Republicans always have a better plan. But there's always a plan, isn't there? They've got to look caring. They've got to look caring, got to look caring. Never leave you alone. Yeah. Now to get back to the other thing, it's not so much the science of climate change that people should focus on. It's the politics of it. When you hear them talking about carbon, really what they're talking about is energy. And it's a subtle and ingenious thing. They understand that for average home, if you can't afford food, if you can't afford the basic necessities of life, let alone any luxuries at all, what have you been reduced to? You've been reduced to the state of a serf.
Starting point is 02:18:14 Yeah. And the serfs do what they're told, because if they don't, you know, they freeze to death outside or they starve to death. That's what they're trying to accomplish here. Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, the hypocrisy of these people is stunning. It's, you know, it reminds me of Karl Marx. I was chatting with Travis about this last night. Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto said that inheritance should be taken up by the state for the greater good, right? And yet when his father died, he fought tooth and nail to get his inheritance and not just get his inheritance, get it before everything was resolved back in Russia. He alienated his sister. Paul Kengor has a great book on the madness of Karl Marx. His mother was writing to him saying, what are
Starting point is 02:18:57 you doing? Why are you doing this? We sent you a bunch of money. Now you want more money and of course he also decried industry and um manufacturing plants when angles was giving him the money to supply him to pay pay for a lot of his writing and keep him supported and that money came from angles his father's textile plant i mean it's just unbelievable when it comes to the things like the dismal science of economics. They're just terrible people. You know, when you dig down into it, they are mean-minded, vindictive. They're entitled. You know, Marx was a parasite who mooched off of Engels, who felt that he was too good to work. And yet at the same time, he despised people who did.
Starting point is 02:19:41 You know, he particularly targeted the middle class, you know, the working middle class, you know, and turned them into a pariah class. And this is, oh, sorry. Oh, and I was going to say, you know, to bring us up into current events now, you know, you're hearing talk about this. They call it the unrealized capital gains, which really is a federal tax on your property. Ultimately, this is where this is headed. And I wish people would understand it. You know, it's being presented as, oh, it's only going to be the billionaires and big corporations that are going to pay this unrealized capital gains tax. And I say, yeah, just like when they passed the 13th Amendment and the income tax 100 years ago, only the rich, only the rich are going to pay the income tax. And, you know, Eric, that just shows me, and, you know, I understand how if you're looking at the
Starting point is 02:20:22 corporatist fascist system we have, and the British were, especially a lot of the British libertarians and even many of the left wing socialists, they were very clued into the favoritism being played at the end of the royal peerage system into the start of the industrial revolution. As the royal peerage system started to collapse, some of those people got, as I've mentioned on my show, maybe on David's show before, they got what were called special acts of parliament. And literally the city of Bath, England was basically given to two guys. That's why a lot of the architecture is very similar in the city of Bath. And so I understand that they don't like
Starting point is 02:20:58 those connections to what Marx successfully depicted as free market capitalism, but it's not. It's cronyism. And when you see the ways that markets actually work, the people who are in charge of real markets are the consumers. And so if we have this anti-gouging thing with price controls that Kamala Harris wants, or they want to take money from the so-called rich to help the poor and all that sort of stuff. What we're seeing is a total disconnect from any logical or moral historical analysis of how markets work. They work by catering to the consumer. The consumer wants to pay less for his stuff, not work harder for his stuff. And the people who are offering things to people at higher prices are going to be undercut if someone can undercut them because the consumer wants it for less.
Starting point is 02:21:51 So the nature of the market is to conserve resources, not expend a lot more energy to get what you want. That's why we have the simple machines, the lever, the inclined plane. It's not that we want to make something that took two people to do. Now we want to make one person unemployed. No, we want to free up that person so that that work isn't as hard to do. So when they're taking money from people who have actually aggregated a certain amount of money for their own wealth, whether it's in their business, and now they've got an extra drag on their business, which won't allow them to invest in new employees or R&D, or people who have saved and are willing to invest in a real market, not a manipulated market the way we
Starting point is 02:22:34 have it. What they're doing there is they're actually taking away all of that incredibly important benefit, all the incredibly important benefits from productivity. So they're taking away the inclined plane. They're taking away the lever saying, well, we know you've saved up that money and that money could be put to work now. We're going to put it to work instead. That's what they're doing. They're redirecting human efforts all the way to the very concept of saving money that individuals could spend and invest on other things, and they're doing it
Starting point is 02:23:06 through envy. They don't want the poor people to recognize that they're actually taking advantage of their emotions. Right. Well, and to get back to this thing about Marxism being malicious, one of the tenets in the Communist Manifesto is the abolition of private property. And one of the mechanisms for doing that is the tax on property, which renders ownership of property a fiction. What ends up happening is that you are allowed conditional possession of your property so long as you continue to pay effectively rent to the state. So, you know, we live under the happy delusion that we are homeowners if you have a home. Do you truly own your home if the
Starting point is 02:23:46 government can come in and say, well, we think your home's worth a certain amount of money, and we require you to send us this amount of money. You owe us money. Even though, wait a minute, I paid for my house. I bought it from the seller. I paid the seller. How is it that I owe the government money? And if I don't pay the government money, then the government will send men with guns to forcibly evict me from what I like to think of was my house, and I'll be in the street, and the government will seize my property. So it's a delusion to think that we have homeownership in this country. Now, what they're talking about doing with regard to this unrealized capital gains thing, and it's incredibly, it's existentially dangerous if this thing should
Starting point is 02:24:25 come to pass. Once they establish, if they do, the principle that it is possible to tax unrealized capital gains, they will come in and say, well, last year, your house was worth, I'm just going to pull a figure, $250,000. Well, a year has passed and now your house is, we say your house is worth $275,000. You have an unrealized gain of $25,000. And therefore this will be considered income, this $25,000. And you will be obliged to pay a tax on that. And it will be a substantial tax. And it will be in addition to the tax that you have to pay on your property at the county or state level. And what it's going to do is exactly what Mark's intended, which is to drive middle and working class people out of their homes so that they become inserved, so that they become renters, so that they at best are allowed to live in some
Starting point is 02:25:16 sort of a government housing situation, provided they don't offend the party. That's really where this is headed. Yeah. And isn't it interesting to just looking at it logically and philosophically, Marx took advantage of the dislike that people had for the old Royal fiefdoms peerage system. And, you know, you and I have spoken about this before. I've got a visit from the kitty cat here. She's my co-pilot. So I'm going to try to handle a few things subtly here. But it is interesting because here we had Karl Marx using the attack, attacking the so-called bourgeois, which is a derivation from Berger from German feudal days. The royal governor sort of thing appointed by the royalty because locals didn't like that feudal system and creating a new feudal system. That's exactly where it goes. We've got a new feudal system. You can't have private property. It's all got to be for the greater good. Well, who's going to run? Who
Starting point is 02:26:15 decides on the greater good? Well, that's going to be a group of people. So what you're saying is people are too stupid to handle their own lives, but a group of people will be smart enough to handle not only their own lives, but the lives of everybody else. And to have that system gamed by special interests like the ones like at Proterra, who were so friendly with Jennifer Granholm. You've got to give evil credit because evil is crafty. So, you know, what they've succeeded in doing now is to foment, just as Marx did, this resentment, this despair of people, particularly young people. You've probably read the stat that the cost of an average house now in this country is over $400,000 as a result of the inflation of fiat currency and so on, which is the same people
Starting point is 02:26:58 are behind doing that. So what they've done is they've made homeownership essentially unaffordable now for young people coming into the market. And naturally, the young people are angry about that. So what they've done is they've made homeownership essentially unaffordable now for young people coming into the market. And naturally the young people are angry about that. You know, they're frustrated. Like, what's the point? Why should I work when there's essentially zero chance that I'm going to be able to own one of these homes? Because, you know, who's going to come up with the 10% on a $400,000 house? You can't do it. So the solution, oh, the government will come in. But you know, the government will will the same government that created the problem. That's how it works. And it's so frustrating to you and I. And I'm sure a lot of people who understand how this game is played because we see it.
Starting point is 02:27:34 But a lot of the kids coming up, they don't see it. And they are Pearl Lennon. And I don't mean this in a derogatory sense. They're useful idiots. Absolutely. They do not understand how they are being manipulated. And they think that they're going to get something for nothing. And what's going to happen is that everybody is going to get nothing ultimately, except for the handful of people at the cadres at the top who have everything. You know, I point out historically, look at the old Soviet Union. Technically, nobody had any private property, but Stalin had a dacha. He had multiple. Absolutely. He had a Packard limousine. He had everything that he could conceivably want. Now, technically he didn't own those things. They were Soviet state property, but who controls Soviet state property? Well, Stalin did. Stalin and the party controlled
Starting point is 02:28:20 the property. If you control the property effectively, it's your property. Right. It's a really important point that people don't understand. If you don't have the ownership, the control of something, you don't own it, no matter what a piece of paper says. And it goes into, like I said, recognition of something as a resource. Like I said, oil was basically a mineral slime that was used for lubrication until they were able to develop it into something that provided BTUs and light. And then that became a good alternative to whale oil. And I want to bring this up to you, Eric, and then talk to you about some of the items on your website. But first, I want to mention, oh, the kitty cat is meowing.
Starting point is 02:29:00 Hi, kitty. She wants to talk to you, evidently. That's fine. I'm here where mine are. Yeah. Well, I love the pictures of your kitties. Those are great, great animals. Good pals. I want to introduce the website, first of all.
Starting point is 02:29:14 So I want to go over, show this off to people. First, it's X. The X is at Libertarian Car G. At Libertarian Car G. And then we have a number of items on the site, which are great. There's one of them that I've already delineated right there. But check it out. It's ericpetersautos.com. Eric, before we go into any of those topics on your site,
Starting point is 02:29:38 I would like to introduce this story from Cape Cod. You probably saw the information about the wind turbine blade that broke up off of Nantucket, pieces of fiberglass, very sharp. I want to show you a little something about this. I'm going to go down over here in my little notes here. And yeah, so, okay. so this is the lobsterman Dan Pronk and others. There's an article that was posted at Heartland Daily. And Dan Pronk is a guy who got into lobstering and fishing when he was like 19 years old. And this is a story. Nantucket locals slam offshore wind developer for polluting shores.
Starting point is 02:30:23 But of course, this isn't just the offshore wind developer for polluting shores. But of course, this isn't just the offshore wind developer. They're working with the government of Massachusetts. They're working with the Nantucket government to supply this energy. And the Biden administration just announced that it is going to be engaging in the largest rollout of wind farms so far. Let me see if I've got this one. Let me see. Yeah, I don't know if I've got it here, but I'll see if I can find it for my history later. But I want to show you some video of this man
Starting point is 02:31:02 as he actually went to this meeting. And I showed a little bit of it before. And there's a piece from X that I've got here. Let me see if I can find it. Yeah, let me see. David Collar. Oh, this is it. This is it. This is him talking about it in July on X. And this will show you what they're doing to their livelihoods here. Here it is. My name's Dan Pronk. I fish 800 lobster traps right where you're putting these tombstones, which is also the end of my business and the other people that fish down there.
Starting point is 02:31:40 Let's just start with that. Second of all, in regards to toxicity of fiberglass. I have fiberglass boats. I don't know what you know about fiberglass and but when you apply it in the residence in the bonding units that are holding it together, you have to wear respirators. For what reason? Because it's's toxic if you breathe those fumes the bonding agents that hold this stuff together you'll get higher than a rat so as far as it not
Starting point is 02:32:13 being toxic and you not knowing about it being toxic what's this made out of then this is styrofoam i believe which is a chemical compound it doesn doesn't just grow naturally. So it is toxic. What do you have to say about that, Klaus, or anybody else? My other question is this Dogger Bank incident that happened two months ago. It was asked previously in this meeting about other circumstances that were similar to this. And you two people that claim to be in Hyannis in separate rooms rooms now you're in the same one um you didn't say anything about it until it was brought up to your attention how come because you got it to hide what's happened down there already that we don't know about that you haven't reported how come it took you called everybody else except for the closest neighbor being us.
Starting point is 02:33:06 We were the last ones to find out. We found out about it online yesterday. That's how I found out about it. Looking on the internet and seeing all the shit washed up on, excuse my language, washed up on the beach. You didn't wake up to that. We did. You guys are just turning a blind eye to all this. And then my final question is, and nobody's asked this question yet in this room,
Starting point is 02:33:27 what is to keep this from happening again? Because here's twice now it's happened in two months. We haven't even had winter yet. Never mind a hurricane. What's going to happen when that happens? Thanks for your time. So good stuff from him. And I appreciate what he did.
Starting point is 02:33:45 And I just want to show you one other item here, which I'm not going to show the full clip as a great interview from Grace Curley. I'm acquainted with Grace. She does a noontime show, Eric, on this Howie Carr Network, sort of a traditional conservative person. Very, very cool. And she was his former producer and she had him on. I didn't know about this story until in her second hour yesterday, she brought this man on and he was phenomenal.
Starting point is 02:34:11 So I'll just show you the image just real quick. We'll probably have an ad pop up. I thought it was harmless yellow toenails. Turns out the- From Rumble. But she had him on, on the phone, just talking. But I do want to give her credit. It's from her show from yesterday, August 29th. People can follow her on Rumble. So this is Grace speaking with him yesterday live. That we have heard about thanks to this blade from Vineyard Wind Development. So the blade broke on July 13th. And since then,
Starting point is 02:34:46 and you've probably seen it's been covered, you know, a decent amount by the media here, spilling styrofoam, fiberglass and other debris. And what caught my eye about this story is how a lot of these fishermen are banding together. They're protesting this. They are sick of this false narrative that's being put out about wind turbines. And there was a town hall meeting on July 17th. And there was a Nantucket lobsterman named Dan Pronk. And I loved the comments that he made because he was talking about the fiberglass. He was talking about how toxic it is. And he said, if you breathe those fumes, you'll get higher than a rat.
Starting point is 02:35:22 And so it's a great conversation. One of the things that he brought up, Eric, that I want to point out is she asked him, what about some of these nature organizations, you know, the wildlife organizations, the marine organizations? He said, oh, they were there at the start. They're not there now. And he said, they've been, now he said they've been bought out. And it, it again, brought me back to the core of economics and private property and individual valuation for consumers. The guys on hand who have a private property stake in managing those waters, not to overfish, to make sure they can get the stuff to the consumers who want it at a good price, their livelihoods are dependent on this place being clean. And you can see how even those
Starting point is 02:36:11 organizations that don't rely on that specific place for their livelihoods, they're slightly distanced. Even though they have this goal of keeping the waters clean, they can be purchased or bought out or incentivized to look the other way this time because, oh, we'll give you a donation for that project or overall for that project. Wouldn't you like a contribution for this? And it really shows me again how important it is to recognize first the NGO stuff, you know, very tricky to find out what they're really doing, but the local people on hand, leave them alone. They'll manage things themselves. This is fundamentally an ideological issue. You know, with regard to what we're talking about specifically, conservationism used to be a thing. And that was about 50 years ago. And you had
Starting point is 02:37:01 conservationist organizations. When I was in Boy Scouts, we talked about being good stewards of the outdoors and so on to not litter. And then that got very subtly replaced by environmentalism. What is that? It has a quasi kind of scientific sound to it, but it's not scientific. It's political. It is the pretext that's being used now. You know, communism had to adapt because it didn't sell when they talked about the working class and, you know, the bourgeois. It didn't work in this country. So around 50 years ago, they started using environmentalism as the new wedge issue. Earth Day in 1970 and all this other stuff. And there was just like with the abuse of the working class in England. There was a grain of truth to it. And then, yeah, there was a pollution issue and there was a problem. Well, the solution, of course, isn't let's just reasonably clean up the pollution. It's essentially communism. That's what they that's what they're using now to forward this stuff along.
Starting point is 02:37:59 And it's really important to understand that. You know, look at the auto industry, which is my ballowick and the thing that I know about. If rational controls of pollution were the criteria, the EPA would have closed shop around 1996 because meaningfully speaking, exhaust emissions from new vehicles have not been an issue in terms of pollution since then. But the public isn't aware of that because the public is told, oh, well, whatever the latest proposal is, is going to result in a reduction of 30% of exhaust emissions. And they never explain to people what they're talking about. Right. Yeah, 30% of.0 something percent. In other words, a difference that's in irrelevance.
Starting point is 02:38:38 It's just become a pretext, an excuse now to continue to push, push, push this ideology. Another good way to look at it is the whole Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization. That's another example. Even the woman who founded that organization has turned against it because it's no longer about, you know, hey, don't be a jerk and drink, you know, a case of beer and go out and drive. In other words, don't literally drink and drive. Now they're talking, it's essentially neo-prohibitionism. The slightest drop of alcohol is now considered drunk. And the federal government through Biden has executive ordered that essentially everybody's going to be assumed drunk until they prove otherwise in their cars.
Starting point is 02:39:21 Right. You have to be convicted of drunk driving before you had a breathalyzer put in your car. Now they're going to have passive alcohol detectors installed in the car to sample your breath or sample your skin or however they're going to do it. And if the thing thinks you've had anything to drink at all, it'll just automatically disable the vehicle. And of course, do that. Get people to go into their electric vehicles, get them in their 15 minute cities, that sort of nonsense, control everything, the collectivist mindset. It is interesting. You have a piece, if I can refer to this one, first off, Eric, you have a piece over your website. And also I'd like to bring in to sort of co-pilot here for a little while. I'd like to bring in
Starting point is 02:40:03 Jason Barker, who is of course of the Foxhole, Knights of the Storm. Jason, welcome to the show, and thank you for being such a good supporter. As we bring you in, Jason, I want you to let everybody know how they can find you, and we'll let you say hi to Eric as well. Good men, all these guys here, great people, as well as David Knight.
Starting point is 02:40:24 Thanks for being here, Jason. Hey, good morning, Gar. It's always a pleasure and an honor to be on with you. Um, yeah, if you want to find me, just go to the nights of the storm.com and you can see all the places to find all the shows, including guards, including Eric's. Uh, I got everyone listed there. It's good to see you again, Eric. Good to see you too, Jason.
Starting point is 02:40:41 And guys, I do want to mention also a wonderful thing has happened over at Rockfin, a contribution over at Rockfin from, let's see, Amos Poole. Thank you. Thank you, Amos. A hundred dollar contribution at the David Knight show for this end of the month. Thank you, Amos. I can't tell you. That is just, I appreciate that very much. Thank you, Amos. I can't tell you that is just, um, I, I appreciate that very much. Thank you, Amos. You rock. He says, thanks for the great show guard. Thank you, Amos. Awesome, awesome stuff. And thanks to the guests that they really help out. Uh, so, uh, Jason would love to get your thoughts on this too. Eric, I want to get your opinions about, uh, this here, uh, this story city versus country this time. And, uh, if you could tell us a little bit about your observations on the Civil War.
Starting point is 02:41:27 A lot of people don't know what a criminal Abraham Lincoln was. The concept of so-called perpetual union. I don't get that. of these urban mindset people versus the people who actually want to engage in their own work and drive their own cars and go long distances out in the countryside to sort of put it all together. Tell us about this piece. Well, okay. I think we should probably start with just an etymological point. We are conditioned to refer to what happened in 1861 to 1865 as a civil war, which is just factually incorrect. It was not a civil war. A civil war is when you have two factions that are vying for control over a territory. What happened in 1861
Starting point is 02:42:10 was that the southern states did not want to be part any longer of this union with the north, very much as the 13 American colonies no longer wanted to be part of a union with Great Britain. So they attempted to withdraw from the union. And the war was over the north, forcing the south back into the union at bayonet point. So that's the first point. The second point, of course, is that it was fundamentally a geographic war. You know, you had the Mason-Dixon line, you had the south and the north, and you had different cultures, and you had different economic systems, which was a factor. And the same thing is happening now in a way that I think is interesting in that it's kind of the city versus the countryside in that I use my own state as an example.
Starting point is 02:42:51 Virginia, if you look at a map, it is profoundly red, meaning conservative. It votes conservative except for northern Virginia, the area around, and the area around Norfolk. So essentially, you've got this minority of urbanites that are controlling the state politically, even in California. Most people don't realize that for the most part, California is actually a pretty conservative state if you excise San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. So these people effectively have no voice. And this is politically and socially explosive. You know, you've heard the Democrats, and I like to call them leftists because I think that that's more accurate. You know, the last Democrat was RFK Jr., and he's become a Republican. At any rate,
Starting point is 02:43:34 they want to have the direct election of the president because they know that if they get rid of the Electoral College, there will no longer be an election that matters in any meaningful sense because these cities will control who becomes the president and they will consistently vote for a leftist and we will be disfranchised. And at that point, then what do we do? Because we no longer have any meaningful way to, you know, to have effect change through process. So, you know, the question is begged and I'll leave you guys to answer it. Well, I, I, I'll, I'll just bring this up. Jason, you go ahead. I'm going to call up one of the photographs from what you have on your website at ericpetersautos.com in a minute,
Starting point is 02:44:16 but go ahead, Jason. Yeah, that's a, that's absolutely perfect. Eric, I grew up in Illinois as a kid, a little bit in Missouri. I live in Missouri now. And you're looking at that exact situation where the vast majority of the state is red, which it shouldn't be red because that's the color of communism. Right. But, you know, but yeah, Illinois, basically Chicago runs the entire state. And then here in Missouri, we're still a red state. We're not a blue state. I don't think maybe we're going a little purplish, but you got Kansas City and St. Louis are on the left, really far on the left, and they do drive a lot of politics here. So I don't know how we deal with that. I think it's going to bite them in the butt if we get to the 15-minute city and they push all the urban or
Starting point is 02:45:00 the rural people into the urban because then the voice and the balance is going to tip. But, and Texas is a good example as well. People moved out of California down into Texas and took that from a deep red state to almost a purplish state now because of Austin and Dallas and places like that. You know, they ruined their own place. I don't know why they can't figure this out. They ruined their own area. Then they moved to an area where people are on the opposite political spectrum. And then they tried to remake the same thing they just left. Socialism will always work the next time. We just have to be in charge of it. Right. Now, there actually is an alarming thing. And there's a sort of a positive thing that I see about this. And the alarming thing and the positive thing is that the cities can't exist without the country. You know,
Starting point is 02:45:46 the country provides everything that the cities would die without. So what will happen then if we refuse to provide what the cities need, are they going to come and, and, and drag us into a coal coys, you know, collective farms like they did in the old Soviet union. They may, they very well may, may try to do that. But shy of that, we still have a great deal of power in that we can just go on strike and just refuse to fund, finance, and provide our enemies so that they can enslave us. And that's why David talks a lot about local. And I know that's kind of controversial in the chat. People say, oh, you can't do anything local.
Starting point is 02:46:23 Well, it depends on where you're at. Okay. Here, local is great. We can choose to ignore the federal government if we want. And we have the politicians in seat here that will do that. We have to be able to self sustain, of course. I mean, the transportation and the supply chain is so intertwined now, it's really hard to be self-sufficient, but you can get there, but you got to start somewhere, right? And it's getting to know your neighbors. It's getting to know the politicians. I mean, I would love to ask somebody who's running for mayor, who's running for your local sheriff. I guarantee you, they don't know because they're focused on the federal thing, right? We need to start paying attention to local, getting educated on that, getting the right people in and then starting the right movements.
Starting point is 02:47:05 Like, hey, let's start a farm co-op around here. Let's get rid of Walmart for a grocery store. Let's start a farm co-op and support our local people. And then, you know, energy is the key. Me and Gard talked last night. And energy is really the bottleneck, especially when it comes to fuel and electricity. So that's going to be the challenge. I don't know. Maybe we could start making our own ethanol or something. I mean, there's lots of options that we can explore. So, you know, it's interesting, gentlemen, because Eric, you posted this picture on your site on that story, Paradise versus Hell. You've got paradise with the countryside, a farm, pretty well delineated property there that you can see, you know, and you can imagine
Starting point is 02:47:45 one of the things that I don't want to extend the thought on this too far, but in comparing what I've always disliked, the city to the countryside. One of the things that I notice is in the city, sure, inside buildings, you get, you know, ownership of buildings and property rights and things like that for the buildings. But there seems to be a dissolution or a reduction in the concept or understanding of private property. The streets are run by the government. They have politicians. Everybody's packed together. The buildings themselves, you don't feel like you have a sense of privacy. So the very idea of private property seems to me to be at least functionally, mentally reduced inside cities, inside urban areas.
Starting point is 02:48:36 And they've sort of translated some of that. We've got to control what's going to happen on this city street. We've got to do this to manage the city. It's all for everybody's good here in the city. They've translated that into zoning and things out in the countryside, where the countryside really, especially in small enclaves of smaller groups of people, not packed in massive populations, you get to know your neighbors fairly well. You keep the government out of it and it's person to person contacts as Alexei Detokhvile tried to explain to people. And even in the cities back then, they would do four square block areas where people would help each other voluntarily. The lions, the 4-H, the elks, that sort of thing. And indigence was very low. But out in the countryside, you really do get to know your
Starting point is 02:49:22 neighbors in the less urban areas. And there does seem to me to be a greater, at least vestigial recognition of property rights there than the city, which by its nature, I think, doesn't really contribute to an understanding of property rights the way that the countryside does. I don't know if you guys think that that's maybe I'm off base there. I don't know. Let's say New York, New York city, Manhattan, even if you were somebody who is affluent enough to be able to afford a $2 million condo, you're just packed in a hive. You don't know you may own your little space within the building, but like you said, you've got somebody else across the, on the other side of that wall. Right now, if you know, you know, I've got, you know, a house and there's nothing outside of my walls except for my fields and my grass. So I feel much more independent. You know, I have much more control over my immediate environment than, than the guy who lives in the $2 million condo in New York city. I think the whole dynamic of living in a tightly packed city fosters this attitude, you know, this of, of, of dependence and, uh, and uncertainty because it's true. You know, you, you don't really, you know, this of dependence and uncertainty, because it's true,
Starting point is 02:50:26 you know, you don't really, you can't grow your own food and you're 2 million. Well, I guess you could, but who's going to do that? You know, and everything comes into the city from somewhere else. And as long as you have money to pay for it, I guess it's okay. But, you know, whatever services, I've got a well, even if the power goes out, I've got water. You know, I've got a great deal more ability to provide for myself here in my country abode than I would have in a $2 million apartment in New York City. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:50:51 And I know, Jason, you've been taking a lot of steps to get more independent and do things out on your property. You got a lot of acreage and you're taking advantage of it, right? Yeah. And I wanted to point something out as well. Convenience is always the glide path to tyranny and control. Yeah. And and I wanted to point something out as well. Convenience is always the glide path to tyranny and control. Yeah. And when you live in a city, OK, it's very appealing, especially to young people that don't know how to you know, they didn't grow up mowing the grass or, you know, drawing water from the well or feeding the animals.
Starting point is 02:51:18 So to live in a building where I don't have to mow the grass, I don't have to worry about I just call the maintenance guy. You know, all this stuff, it takes all the responsibility off of you. You know, and then it's kind of convenient, of course, because now we have to work more hours to be able to pay that rent. But when you move into the rural side, there is more freedom, but it takes work. But that work, you know, as I'm mowing my grass, I bump into the neighbor. Now I get to know my neighbor. We get to talk. And I mean, it is, it's more work, but as you get used to it, it gets easier and you help each other out. But in a city, you know, how many people live in an apartment and they don't know a single person in their building, you know, maybe once in a while they say hello on the elevator and that's it. I know like people all, I've only been here a year and I know all kinds of people
Starting point is 02:52:02 in my neighborhood. So, yeah, but I wanted to point that out that, you know, the lack of responsibility of having to care for property leads to, you know, it's convenient, but it leads to control because now you're dependent on other people for your daily life. Yeah. Yeah. Great point. Eric, you've got to, oh, go ahead. Sorry. I was going to say the other day, I can't remember which article it was, but I related the old country tale. And I was thinking about this because we're talking about the country of how to catch a wild hog. Did you catch that one? Yeah. I haven't seen that one yet. So the old story goes, if you want to catch a wild hog, what you do is you put out a bucket of food. Now the hog will be suspicious at first because he's
Starting point is 02:52:41 a wild hog and he's got innate natural suspicion of everything. But after a while, he gets used to being fed. So he keeps coming back. So then you put up a piece of fence in front of the bucket. And again, he's going to be wary of that at first. But after a while, the fact that there's food there and he doesn't have to root around for it will cause him to keep coming back. Then you put up another section of fence on the other side and then one more and the pig gets used to it. And finally finally you put down the gate and you caught your pig. That's what they do. You know, they, they, they, they proffer something that's a convenience. Look at how everybody has a smartphone now. Oh, it's so convenient. I know I can make a phone call or I can send a text or I can take a picture anytime I want to, you know, as opposed to the
Starting point is 02:53:21 bad old days when you had a landline at home and if you wanted to call somebody, you had to be at home, right? Or wherever. Well, now everybody's carrying around basically their own personal tracking device, you know, that lets entities know where you are in real time. And eventually they, I'm convinced, plan to use to get rid of cash so that if you want to buy anything, you're going to have to use an app on this phone. Very convenient. You don't have to carry around those bills anymore. You know, it's seductive. They just use this desire that we all have for an easier life to enslave us. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:53:53 I want to add something to that, Gard, if I can. Sure. Yeah, when you were talking about the catching of the hog, that's basically what they're doing with CBDC as well. And, you know, there's another aspect to CBDC, and that's biometrics. And that's going to lead to something physically in your maybe right hand or forehead. I don't know. But what they did, think about it. They started with debit cards.
Starting point is 02:54:19 You no longer have to write a check or whatever. You don't carry cash. You get debit cards. Then they moved credit cards as part of that. Then all of a sudden it's like, well, maybe we should put a chip in there. Okay. Well, okay. Let's make a tap to pay RFID. That's more convenient, right? Now people are loading their card info on their phones and their smartwatches, right? And you could tap to pay. Now they have apps to where I don't even need a credit card. I could just link my bank account to my, my cash app or whatever.
Starting point is 02:54:46 Slowly, incrementally, they're getting us used to it. And crypto is part of that, right? So to get to a CBDC, they have to get people used to the idea of digital currency. So they've let Bitcoin, and I actually think Bitcoin is a, not a psyop, but it's a grooming tool. I think Bitcoin was not created by a dude i think it was created by the government uh people got into it but not everybody can afford bitcoin so all these other coins come out that are like fractions of a cent per coin and my last unit i was in every single person except for myself was playing around with their different cryptos and
Starting point is 02:55:21 talking about it so they've gotten people used to the idea of crypto. So now, okay, cryptos, we could do transactions with crypto. I don't even need my card anymore. I don't even need to deal with the bank anymore. But you have things like FTX come along. So, and FTX had nothing to do with the insecurity of crypto. It had to do with a guy mismanaging the crypto. But everyone started thinking cryptos, you know, not safe or whatever. I think there's going to be another big event.
Starting point is 02:55:53 And then that's going to be what pushes the government to come take control out of convenience and safety. They need to then take control of that crypto, which then is a de facto CBDC. That's a really good point. And I was just thinking, just to keep it in mind, actually, that we've got was a Microsoft is going to be updating their terms of service to police hateful copyright and copyright infringement content. And they're going to be doing everything they can to control any of the communications we have. And money is a form of communication, especially when it goes electronic. So they'll be controlling that as well, 100%. There was a city, was it in Denmark, where they're starting a test program for CBDC. It's for tourists. I can't remember which city it is, but they're starting it.
Starting point is 02:56:39 It's special deals. If you get this app, you can get a special extra bounce to your electronic buck that you get for this city. It's only for tourists and only for the businesses that sign up to it. But it's a test run and they're going to try this in other areas as well. Fencing Hawks, a couple of weeks ago, you know, I test drive new cars every week and I got a new Volvo. It happened to be an electric Volvo. And for the very first time, I couldn't figure out how to start the car. You know, they dropped it off and I went out to go for a drive in the thing. So I get in and I sit down and I'm looking around. And normally when you get in a new car, there will typically be a button on the dash somewhere. You know, even if it's an electric car,
Starting point is 02:57:17 an on button, and if it's not an electric car, there'll be a start button that you have to push. You carry the fob around with you, right? They got people used to the fob because it was just so difficult. So taxing, you have to take a key and put a key in the ignition and turn it right so they got people into this whole idea well so convenient you just carry the fob with you and then all you have to do is push the button and the door will unlock you know as you approach the next step was in that volvo you no longer even have to have the button. The car turned itself on because the fob was present. Now, then the question becomes, or the question today is, well, why even bother with the fob? Why would you want to carry around this clunky thing? Just have the car identify you
Starting point is 02:57:55 to get to Jason's point about having some sort of a RFID or some kind of a chip embedded in your body. Oh, the car knows it's you look how convenient that is yes yes this is you know it's amazing real quick real quick um if they sell you that as a convenience and people go along with it now you're trackable anywhere even when you're not near your car so the thing is these cars you've heard the term connected the internet of things well implicit in that is that it can be disconnected. You know, when I get in my old truck, I've got a physical key. Nobody else has control over that except myself.
Starting point is 02:58:32 I determine whether the engine turns on or off because I have physical control over the ignition switch that turns the starter and starts the engine. Now, in a connected car, the thing knows, you know, that you're attempting start it, and it can be controlled remotely, just like a phone. Have you ever woken up and seen that your phone is in the process of being updated? And you didn't ask for it to be, but it's being updated. And all of a sudden, things are different on your phone because some external party has decided it wants to jitter with your phone. That's what you're going to do with vehicles. And ultimately, this is the mechanism by which they'll determine when you're allowed to drive, if it's an electric car, when you're allowed to charge, how much you're allowed to charge. And all of that will be tied into some kind of a Chinese style social credit system where, you know, if you've been good according
Starting point is 02:59:17 to the standards of the state, they'll allow you to do these things. But if you haven't, of course, you won't be allowed. It for the greater good, come on, you know, seriously. Right. Yeah. Eric, also, I want to mention, I want to mention also real quick that I should mention again, people can follow you on X at Libertarian Car G, at Libertarian Car G. It's ericpetersautos.com. Then Nights of the Storm tomorrow, 10 a.m. Check you out on Rumble, right, Jason? Yes, sir. All right. And Eric, there are a number of other key articles here, but if you want me to highlight, I was looking at the one on the property tax from a few days ago. But you've got the new feature, Why I Speed. You've got a number of other ones in there. That one about the country versus the city. A review of the new Lexus 2024 GX550. Talking about that Volvo.
Starting point is 03:00:09 And then, of course, down onto the property tax. So many key ones. And, of course, the shop where you can get the great BAH hats. Those are awesome. And so is there one that you'd like to highlight before we go that maybe anyone would like? That one that's right here underneath the house one the federal the compliance engine i've been trying to to get across to people you may have noticed a trend if you've been car shopping lately or if you just follow the industry that that engines just
Starting point is 03:00:35 keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller and why is that yeah so you know recently for example uh toyota brought back the land cruiser, which is a big 4x4 SUV. It was off the market for a couple of years, and they brought it back. Well, it used to come standard with a V8 engine because it's a big, heavy SUV. I mean, that was the kind of engine you typically find in a vehicle like that. Well, the new one comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, which, of course, is insufficient to move 5,000-plus pounds of 4x4 SUVs. So they turbocharge it, and they hybridize it. And the reason they do that is because by itself,
Starting point is 03:01:14 this little engine would never be powerful enough to lug 5,000 pounds of vehicle. So they do the turbocharging and the hybridizing to maintain an adequate power performance level for buyers who would otherwise be pretty peed off about, Hey, you want me to spend $50,000 to get a four cylinder engine? No, I'm not going to do that. Now, the reason for the four cylinder engine, of course, is the smaller engines, an engine that you can think of it as an air pump. It moves air. That's fundamentally what an internal combustion engine does. So more air that is gas that's going into the cylinders and then exiting the cylinders the more emissions there will be and the more fuel that it will use all else being equal so you know the automakers are in this it rock in a hard place situation of trying to placate the government on
Starting point is 03:01:58 the one hand which continues to insist that cars get ever higher gas mileage irrespective of the fact that the market would solve that problem. You know, people wanted you know, if they wanted a super high efficiency car, the market would provide that. And this other this other boogeyman about the emissions, particularly of carbon dioxide. And I point out to people that ultimately these standards are going to become impossible to comply with. And it's not going to just stop with a four cylinder engine. The next step. And it's already going to just stop with a four-cylinder engine. The next step, and it's already here, three-cylinder engines. I had a Buick Invista, which is a 4,000-pound crossover SUV. It's powered by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine. I've got motorcycles with bigger engines than that.
Starting point is 03:02:36 That's insane. I see here in the article, you've got here that you have a 3.0-liter cylinder engine. It thus more readily complies with federal regulations that demand higher gas mileage and lower emissions of gases, especially the evil so-called pollutant CO2. They control the roads. They won't allow certain things on the roads. They control the companies. They won't allow them to make certain things. And they have all of these boogeymen behind it. Well, the really ingenious thing, I'll make the final point before you cut me loose, is that they're smart enough to not formally outlaw vehicles that aren't electric vehicles because people might actually say,
Starting point is 03:03:14 wait a minute, what are you doing here? So what they do is they impose regulations that are effectively impossible to comply with without making electric vehicles. That's what's driving all of this. That's it. That's it. Eric, thank you so much for being here. I will, yes, I will recommend every day people go and check out what you do at ericpetersautos.com. And thank you also to Jason for joining me like this. This has been fun, guys. I really appreciate it.

They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
Starting point is 03:06:27 Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
