All right. And joining us now is Eric Peters, epautos.com. All things about liberty and mobility. And of course, these people are coming after, as I said before, they're coming after everything that we got from mobility to meat and everything in between. Biden is trying to ban everything, you know, household appliances, light bulbs, you name it. I guess they go start small and incrementally ban everything in the house. And then finally they can ban the house when it's empty of everything.

But joining us now is Eric Peters. Thanks for joining us, Eric. I've been ranting for the last hour about this Trump circus and everything I said today. It looks like forecast is stormy with 100% chance of arraignment. What's your take on this? Well, I guess we can look forward to you and I being indicted later this afternoon. But I guess the thing that appalls me the most about all of this, if they're going to go ahead and indict the orange man, why don't they indict him for warp speeding the poisonous drugs that they called vaccines into the bodies of tens of millions of people?

Exactly. I said that very same thing. I said, you know, this reminds me of what they did to Dennis Haster, a pedophile. He was a pedophile wrestling coach. They picked him to run for Congress. Then they said, hey, let's make him the leader because he's blackmailable, right? They come after him not for that because there's a statute of limitations on that, but even the judge who sent him to jail referenced that.

They came after him for the non-crime of taking his money out of his bank, taking it out, trying to avoid any questions or detection about that. And that's what they're doing to Trump. I said, I would love to see him hauled off in an orange suit and handcuffs to an international tribunal to stand for crimes against humanity. That's really what he should be standing trial for. I agree. And there's another aspect to this, too, that I he should be standing trial for. I agree. And there's another aspect to this, too, that I don't think is coincidental. I wrote about it the other day.

The wheels are coming off the wagon in Ukraine. It looks like Bakhmut is about to fall. And they need a look-a-squirrel moment. And here it is in the form of the Archman. Yes, exactly. Up. Which is interesting that you have a quote from up because when Donald Trump started running,

I did it infuriated Alex. Uh, but I did a comparison to the movie up, you know, where he has, he's got this final house and they're trying to clear everything out. He doesn't want to leave. It's the house that he had with his wife and,

um, and they're going to tear it down. I said, said but but trump did the same thing for his casino he fought against a widow who was there and uh you know because he he couldn't get her to pay he got the city to condemn it to give it to him and before he built his parking lot he decided he's going to walk away from the casino i I said, that's the character of this guy. It's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. That was a revelatory despicability.

Yes. And, you know, unfortunately, a lot of people overlook things like that because Trump is very good at saying things people think they heard and want to hear. Yes. And for that reason, he's dangerous. You know, I do not consider him a friend of liberty at all. I consider him to be a narcissistic opportunist, and that ought to be obvious by now. Yeah, oh yeah.

It's pretty obvious to his former attorney. He says he's a deeply wounded narcissist and capable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest or revenge. That pretty much sums him up better than anything I've ever seen. I repeated that earlier today. I repeat it all the time because that is exactly what he is. Truly amazing. Now that, that said, however, uh, I am alarmed by what's going on at the New York because what it's doing is establishing a precedent for the criminalization of what you might call wrong thankfulness. Uh, and it's a shot across the bow. Letting the left is letting people know that if you disagree with their orthodoxies,

that it will no longer be merely that you are deplatformed or demonetized, but you might actually be charged with some sort of a crime, as, for example, by refusing to state and to believe that a biological man is, in fact, a woman because he says she is. Yes. Oh, yeah. The trans, as I've said, are the shock troops for insanity and for persecution, religious persecution and political persecution. They are the shock troops. And and and it's right. But, you know, this has been rolling out and neither Trump nor any other Republicans are really pushing back against this stuff for years.

You know, when when Trump was in charge, it was fine. You know, we're going to let the, uh, we're going to let the sensors run roughshod. We're going to de-platform people, uh, monetarily and all the rest of this stuff. But, um, you know, now that, uh,

when it starts happening to them, it's like, Oh no, you know, we're the tip of the spirit. No, you're not. You're the back end of it.

You know, you ought to, you ought to know that if they got political persecution, you being a politician are going to be put up against the wall. If you don't defend this and they, they just took a powder on all this stuff and never defended anybody. So now here it is. It's now at their front door.

And quite frankly, I don't have any sympathy for them. And I don't think this is even the beginning of something. Yeah, this is the first time a president's been charged. But I don't even think this is the beginning of anything. I think this is just these people incrementally building it and building it and building it and going for more and more without ever having anybody push back or stop them. Yeah, the people who aren't left, nominally speaking, seem to be congenitally incapable of taking a stand on any principle, and that gets back to the opportunistic aspect of all

of this. And that's why the left always wins. The people on the opposite side seem perfectly willing to fight with one arm tied behind their back against people who are perfectly prepared to gouge out eyes and kick you in the nuts. That's right. And they'll have their show trials. You know, you'll have Jim Jordan, other people, uh, they'll have their show trials and they'll probably call in Alvin Bragg and they'll have, you know, nasty back and forth name calling and, and everything, but they won't do anything. Yeah. They won't impeach. Yeah. They want to impeach Merrick. Yeah, they want to impeach Merrick Garland, for example, right?

They'll hold hearings and they'll, well, that's, you know, you're just despicable and all this for the audiences, but they don't do it. They don't pass laws and they don't take any responsibility for impeaching anybody. They do nothing. They're stuck in a parliamentary mindset that might have been applicable 30 years ago. They don't understand now that we're in an existential crisis and an existential fight. And these are people who do not play by the rules except the rules that they set, which are constantly and arbitrarily changing.

If they want to understand what we're dealing with, they should read Lenin, and then they'll understand what the left is all about. That's right. Yeah. And I think you also understand some of what the right is about, because what Lennon was doing was he had the trust, which is being run by the predecessor of the KGB under Dzerzhinsky. And what they were doing was they were running the opposition. You know, they were funding opposition organization so they could draw people in. And they did.

And they drew in the guy that in Fleming based Jamesames bond on this great spy sigmund riley they drew him in and they killed him uh using the trust yeah and well that's what comes of of co-option you know we don't really have uh opposing political parties we have parties that agree on the fundamentals and bicker amongst themselves about how they're going to divvy up the spoils of power and grift yeah that's right you know you talked a couple of things about Kiev. You talk about, you know, Orange Man bad, but Kiev, as you put it, I go with the old fashioned pronunciation just to annoy them. Yeah, don't you hate that there's this supercilious condescension of pronouncing the name of a

city like Kiev, for example, in the manner that it's spoken in the home country. But you never hear these internationalist people saying, live from Atlanta. You know, they never do that. It's always this condescending, you know, look at how educated and above it all we are because we know how to say it correctly, and you deplorable do not.

Yeah, yeah, when they start calling Rome Roma, or they start calling Milan Mil roma well they start calling milan milano or yep venezia you know i mean they don't use the same name for the first time i went with a bunch of high school students uh on a trip to europe i thought it was really funny that we've got a different we don't use their name for the other stuff i thought okay that's fine i'm still going by that same rule uh but you've got a t-shirt. You've got a sheep, a big sheep in the middle of it. And it's circled. It says, Keeve.

And then underneath it, it says, Bah. Isn't that great? My girlfriend designed that. And we decided to make some merchandise like that just to kind of throw the proverbial middle finger at a lot of this virtue signaling, which is, it's worse than just virtue signaling. This is really dangerous stuff. You know, what's going on, as I'm sure you're well aware, in Ukraine now is becoming catastrophic. And I think that they're desperate to keep eyes off of it. And again, that's why they've got the orange man being frog marched before the judge today.

I think it is truly amazing that they showed their hand how NATO is not at all interested in peace, no matter what happens. You know, even if Zelensky says, well, you know, maybe, no, we're not having any talks. Or the Chinese come in and they start to say, well, we're going to broker a peace agreement between, you know, Zelensky and Putin. And Zelensky said, yeah, I'll talk to him about it. And NATO comes out, you better not talk to him about it.

I mean, it couldn't be more obvious at this point where the aggressors are. Who doesn't want peace? Well, Lindsey Graham, apparently, Lindsey Graham is willing to fight to the last Ukrainian, isn't he? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. As a matter of fact, I have a great picture of Lindsey Graham that somebody sent me. He looks a bit like Aunt Bea when you put a wig and a dress on him. You can't see that, but it really is funny.

It's horrible all around. I kind of make fun of the politics of it by calling it Kiev, but there's a lot of real suffering going on. The people of that country are being slaughtered. Their country is being destroyed. And the world is being imperiled by this, because what's happening now is the Russians are being inexorably pushed to continue to do what they're doing. And it may end up being that we have hundreds of thousands of Russian troops right up against

Poland on a hair trigger, and something could go really horribly wrong that could cause a whole lot more damage than whatever happened about the business in the Donbass. Well, you refer to Colonel Douglas McGregor in here. Of course, he said from the very beginning he is. And he said from the very beginning, look, if you let Crimea and you let the Donbass, the areas that want to be associated with Russia, if you respect their right of self-government, I mean, here we are back to the

argument of secession, right? Do we get to choose our own government or who we want to associate with? That's what America's founded on, right? That's what the Declaration of Independence was about. And of course, Crimea has been a part of Russia longer than America has been America or about the same amount of time. And so he says, so if you go back to those boundaries, then you demilitarize Ukraine and they don't join NATO, then the rest of Ukraine becomes a buffer between Russia and the other

nations. Perfectly sensible approach. But of course, that's not something that anybody in NATO would even entertain. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Curses. Alas,

our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you.

T&C Supply 18+. Bet responsibly. GamblingCare.ie. No, democracy is only at risk when it threatens the interests of the American hegemon and the elites behind the curtain. Yes, yes. It truly is amazing to see how they relentlessly are pushing into this. And I think, as everybody understands, we have so many different issues that are before us. You know, they're pushing us into central bank digital currency. They're pushing to, you know to destroy and rebuild the entire banking system under the direct control of the Federal Reserve.

We have all these different fronts that are facing us, and yet everybody's focused on Trump. When I look at the news, I look at about four or five dozen different sites each day to do the news. And everybody's just talking about Trump. It's washed everything off as you pointed out look squirrel you know yeah and one of the other things that's coincidence this and i'm sure you're well aware of it is this odious thing that's making its way through the legislative colon in dc ostensibly to deal with tiktok but uh in fact it will deal

with wrong thinkers like you and i and anybody else who potentially contradicts their narrative and can be characterized as a threat to national security somehow. The Restrict Act is amazing because typically what they do is they sugarcoat these things, like they did the Patriot Act. Oh, it's not evil. This is not the Death Star Act. If they say it's not evil, you can be pretty sure it is. Well, with this one, they don't even try to hide it anymore. They call it the restrict act. Yeah, we're going to restrict the internet.

We're going to restrict speech. We're going to restrict crypto, which I think is going to be the first thing that it targets. Everybody's right about it being an instrument of total control over the internet and over free speech. However, I think the primary target is going to be crypto because you look at those big fines you know 250 250 000 fine if uh you were dealing with somebody that they have declared to be a bad actor and then a million dollar fine if you try to hide that you're doing that by using a vpn a virtual privacy network you know or is that is that what the p stands for? Privacy. Anyway, a VPN to hide where you are. And I said, this is coming out at exactly the same time they just came after Binance

and said, we're going to come after you because you've been telling people to use a VPN so you don't have to do the know your customer rules, right? It couldn't be more obvious to me how the Federal Reserve is shutting down and going to war against crypto, and you've got people in both parties going to war against crypto. Why? Because it is, and I'm not a crypto supporter, I'm not a crypto user really, but I want there to be this plurality of things that are out there. They want to make sure that everybody is channeled down into one approach that they have direct control over everyone with a Fed coin. And so they've got to get rid of crypto. And I think that's a big part of what the Restrict Act is.

Of course. That's the proverbial nuclear button, because if they do that, if they succeed, then they have absolute ability to punish anybody and everyone at any time for anything that in any way disagrees with, contradicts the orthodoxy that they happen to be peddling. So you and I having this conversation right now, I would find that after I got off the phone with you, my bank account would be frozen. I couldn't buy anything or something even worse than that. That's right. Yeah, that's where it is all headed.

And we've already had tastes of that as well. As a matter of fact, Matt Taibbi talked to me about that. He interviewed me for a piece when PayPal came out and I said, yeah, I've been hit by PayPal. I got hit by PayPal back in May of 2021. And it was such a novel thing that the guy that I was on the phone with for over an hour there at PayPal said, well,

I've never seen this before. I bet he's seen it now, but he's seen it a lot. Now he says, it just says to get, it just says to take you down immediately. It doesn't give any reason. So we'll keep looking and see if you can find anything. People may think that this only affects the proverbial big and medium-sized fish, people who are in the media, let's say like you and I, who have a public forum,

but it will inevitably become something that affects everyone. You don't wear your mask, for example. Well, you know, no driving today, your electric car is turned off, no shopping for you, and so on and so on. And it will get to the point where, effectively, they won't need a gulag archipelago because your gulag will be at home. You know, you'll be imprisoned in your house. That's right.

That's right. And you won't have air conditioning. You won't have a stove. You won't have a light bulb because Biden is going to take all those things. It's not for nothing that they're trying to get rid of gas-powered home appliances and winnow everybody down into this electric-only thing, which is governed by a smart meter, which they can then turn on and off at their whim. Well, you and I have been talking about that for the longest time, the fact that they want to control everybody through the centrally controlled power grid. And of course, that's really what all this central bank digital currency is all about,

the Fed coin and everything. And they're rolling out the first part of it this summer, FedNow, where that's going to be the wholesale part of it. The next step is to go direct to consumers. But again, it's that they're going to shut down all alternatives, except the one that gives them control. We saw it during the pandemic. They shut down any treatment.

Uh, nothing's going to be allowed. You know, we're going to lock you down. We're going to mask you up. We're going to put you on ventilators. That'll kill you until we got the jab. And then you're going to take the jab or going to lock you in your home. That type of thing. It's always, there's only one solution

and you will do that. All this electrification stuff is the same thing. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs with all NoviBet customers getting a €10

free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you. T&C's Apply 18+. Bet responsibly gamblingcare.ie. Yeah, well, it's always

about obedience, fundamentally. The rest of this stuff is almost incidental. Yeah, yeah. Central control and surveillance, and it gives it out to them completely. You got an article saying it out loud. Talk a little bit about what is happening in the automotive industry and the fact that they're now talking about their transitioning as well. Well, I know it's very, very interesting what happened a couple of days ago.

Carlos Tavares, who is the head of Stellantis, many people may not be familiar with Stellantis, but Stellantis is the corporation that, among other things, owns the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands of vehicles. So he's the head honcho of that corporation. And he said some interesting things at a Freedom of Mobility conference up in Dearborn. And what he said was that there's simply not enough there are only going to be a certain number of EVs that are out there. And the only people probably who are going to be able to have an EV are the handful of relatively affluent and rich people who could afford to buy one. Yeah. And, of course, we've been saying that as well. And it's not just lithium.

There's a lot of different minerals that they don't have that for. And they don't have the infrastructure. And they don't have any way that they could get to the infrastructure to build out the infrastructure. You know, there's, there's no, uh, charging stations, as we pointed out, and there's not sufficient capacity. Uh, and they're not growing the capacity, unlike China, which is growing their capacity. Uh, they're shutting our capacity down. We're getting a negative growth in our capacity when it should be growing exponentially. If they had a plan for people to actually own and drive cars. Yeah, a metric of this, right now in my driveway, I've got two brand new EVs that I've been test driving for the past week or so.

One is a Mercedes EQE, and the other is the electric version of the Genesis G80. Genesis is Hyundai's luxury line, kind of analogous to Lexuses for Toyota. And the least expensive of these two vehicles is $75,000. Wow. Wow. Yeah, exactly. It just took an exponential jump. You've been talking about how all the regulations, the unnecessary regulations about emissions

and about safety have been inflating the price of cars for a very long time and how the two of them work against each other. You know, you're going to make it heavier with all these safety devices and everything. And yet, as expensive as that stuff got, you know, when you look at the average price of these electric cars, they nearly doubled, you know, what the average cost was. Yep. And they're going up rather than down. Ford just announced another price increase of the F-150 Lightning, which now starts at more

than $60,000. It initially was offered at about $40,000, so it's gone up in price about $20,000 over the course of a little more than a year. And this trend is going to continue because, again, some of the absolutely critical raw materials, lithium and cobalt specifically, are in relatively short supply. They're very expensive to get and to to produce and to make into a finished product and as the demand for this goes up through these forced mandates of more and more evs the price is inevitably going to get even higher so you know it's it's clearly intentional that what they're doing is trying to price most people out of vehicles and that's what this is all about we Well, you know, there is, they're getting some pushback, you know, and we can talk

about the e-fuel stuff and, and, uh, and everything, but this is new. This is a referendum. Out of Berlin. And you had these, uh, radical parties, you know, the, um, um, there's one, you know, the one that at the last generation, they've been defacing things and gluing themselves to the road and gluing themselves to the, to the showroom floor, Porsche, you know, all this other nonsense. Uh, and, uh, so I'm sure that people's annoyance at that, uh, had

something to do with this, but they held a referendum. Uh, they wanted, uh, people to vote on Berlin's climate neutrality by 2030. And of course it's always 2030, right? Uh, so they wanted people to vote on the climate neutrality by 2030. And so, uh, FFF, another one of these groups and last generation, uh, they were the ones who were pushing this, uh, they lost 82% to 18. It was a total repudiation of these people, uh, by the Berlin voters. They're not having any of it. And so I see that as a positive sign, but it's only just one little snapshot that's there. And

the EU, how do you see this agreement that they had? Because you had some people saying, well, look, the EU backed off and they're going to allow internal combustion engines to continue to be built. But they've got to use this um e-fuels which is like you know buying a bottle of wine to uh yes now that gets back into what we were talking about earlier with regard to the cost and the exclusivity yeah porsche and i think it's maserati it might be lamborghini it's one of the exotic manufacturers have said they're going to continue to build uh gas powered vehicles but uh they're also at the same time going to produce these so-called e-fuels, carbon-neutral fuels, which essentially means producing gasoline

through a chemical process that they can claim through some Byzantine formula doesn't result in any emissions of the dreaded gas carbon dioxide. But the fuel is apparently going to cost about $20 a gallon. Now, if you're somebody who has the means who has, uh, the means to afford a, uh, six figure Porsche, you probably don't mind spending $20 a gallon, uh, on your e-fuel, but you and I are not going to be able to do that. So again, you can see what the intention is here. Yeah. These people are not going to be commuting in their Lamborghini, um, or, you know, uh, to, to work. And, uh, and they really, again, they don't care. I mean, you know, they'll, they'll light their cigars, the a hundred dollar bill, and they'll

throw the a hundred dollar bills in the tank. Uh, and, and it is a ridiculous thing. It doesn't even exist now. And what I think is really funny about it, and this is the argument that they were having as to whether or not this was carbon neutral. And they said, well, you know, we are going to capture carbon dioxide, and then we're going to go through some kind of, I don't know the chemical process, but some kind of hydrolysis or something where they

get a breakdown, um, you know, the air into hydrogen and they make that. This is the key, uh, that process, that chemical process of manufacturing is going to be run by wind power. So it's going to be done in a particular place where the wind is always blowing down the tip of South America. But then how do they transport it in a neutral way back to Europe? That's their big problem. Let's see. And it is such superstition.

It's such nonsense because all this climate stuff, as you and I know, is a bunch of hooey. Well, also hypocrisy. nonsense because all this climate stuff is you and i know there's a bunch of hooey well also hypocrisy something you know that i have uh experienced personally which we could talk about here for a moment uh having test driven a lot of evs over the course of the last six months is something that i call seepage what i mean by that is that if you park an electric car and don't tether it to a plug overnight particularly if it's cold you're going to wake up the next day and discover that you've lost anywhere from five to twenty miles of range in my experience

and that works out something like a quarter to even a third of the tank of of a gallon of gasoline is simply being wasted doing no useful work whatsoever uh... and just you know out the window and if you scale that up you know people who say well it's not much for that one e v but you know think about millions of evs that are constantly drawing power and losing power. And where's that power come from? How's it being generated? It's all about gratuitous wastefulness, but nobody wants to talk about it.

Yeah, it's, you know, the EVs, that's the funny thing about it. You know, they want to talk about how green they are. And yet nobody has ever talked about efficiency. You've talked about it in terms of look at how heavy these things are look at how the bigger part of this is the energy that goes into moving something that is now you know twice as heavy as an ordinary car i had an engineering professor who uh he would ride a bicycle and and he was he was not a fan of the automobile like me you know and he would say we got to get over this idea that we're going to wrap ourselves in a ton of metal to drive everywhere. That's a light car today.

Yeah, how about three tons? Literally, the EQE that I have outside of my driveway right now is a mid-sized car, and it weighs something like 5,500 pounds before you even get in it. That's right. Well, you know, at that time, you had cars like the dangerous Ford Pinto that my wife drove. And I drove a little Spitfire. I mean, these were cars that were under a ton, I think, at least my car was. And so you could find cars like that.

Today, it's pretty rare to find something that weighs 2,000 pounds. I mean, even the Miata is nudged over that level now. It's not at all been explained to people, but here's a way to look at it. An electric battery is essentially a storage device for electricity. And in order to store the rough equivalent of about six gallons of gas in terms of energy, you need about 1,000 pounds of batteries. Now, a 21-gallon gas tank that holds 21 gallons of fuel weighs, what, about 130 pounds because a gallon of gas weighs about 6 pounds. And, you know, as you drive, it gets lighter because you're burning up the fuel, whereas in the EV, no matter what the range or charge remaining is,

you're still lugging around that 1,000, 1,500 pounds of battery pack everywhere you go. Yeah, yeah, it truly is amazing. And they don't again if you want to talk about you know being energy efficient and all the rest of the stuff they don't care about the overall equation they don't care what goes into the mining and the transportation of any of this stuff it truly is um uh really a threadbare narrative that they've got but they're running with it at full speed yeah Yeah, the Maserati just came out. It was Lamborghini and Porsche that pushed to, or maybe it was Ferrari.

I think it was Ferrari. Ferrari and Porsche that pushed for that e-fuel exception. Yeah, it was Ferrari. Their CEO, actually, thank you for reminding me about that. He came out and said and defended the V12 in their latest model, saying that that's what people come to Ferrari for. They don't come for a battery. That's how I put it in my article.

And he's right. You know, what's the point? You know, a Ferrari with a battery is essentially just a Tesla that looks a little different. So who cares? That's right. Yeah, Maserati has now announced that they're going to build a V6 in 2025. And so I guess that is because of this carve out. But again, that carve out is just for the very, very tiny market place.

That's going to be there. These are going to be the people who draw, you know, fly everywhere in private planes. And yet they have the C 40 organization, uh, which was originally 40 cities, but it's now up to nearly a hundred. And, uh, you know, they were saying that, uh, their goal is for you to have one plane flight every three years of less than a thousand miles. But of course, these guys all have their private jets and they go to all these time fabs every other month everywhere.

And it's going to be the same thing. They'll have their private jets. They'll have the helicopters. They'll have their hyper cars running e-fuel. They don't care about the rest of this stuff. They just want to make sure they don't have any of us on the road with them. Well, that's certainly true. But, you know, I view this as roughly analogous to the situation that elaborated with regard to the masks and the vaccines. A point came at which there were a handful of people who pointed out that the emperor has no

clothes. And it took a while, but other people began to look and say, yeah, you're right, the emperor doesn't have any clothes. This isn't what they said it was. And I think what Porsche and what Ferrari are doing is setting an example as by not wearing a mask, as by refusing to take the drugs that they call vaccines.

And maybe some of the other car companies are going to realize this is a catastrophe. It's just purely from a business point of view. We can't do this. We can't sustain this, to use the word that the are going to realize this is a catastrophe. It's, you know, just purely from a business point of view, we can't do this. We can't sustain this, to use the word that the left likes to use. Look at Ford. They came out the other week, and we're talking about a $3 billion loss, and even more losses going forward as far as the eye can see.

It's insane. It can't sustain itself. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And, you know, when we look at it, I, I look around this area and, um, we used to come here, uh, ever since I've been coming here for vacation ever since I was a tiny child. And, uh, something's happened in the last few years, they've eased the regulations so that, you know, it's been a while that people could do, uh, uh, a craft brewery and make a beer, right? Get an exception.

I don't know what they did to throttle the ATF, but they have all over the place now. There's all these places that are making liquor, hard liquor, moonshine places, right? And I look at this and I thought, you know, we need to do the same thing in terms of fuel because, you know, we need to have like a state carve out and say, yeah, we're going to refine our own fuel here in Tennessee or whatever, you know, and, and have it like a moonshine variation, because I don't know where we're going to get the fuel to, to drive our cars.

That's the key thing where they're going to cut us off in the future is not having that fuel. And we've got to have something, there's not going to be any more refineries built. You just had this big deal, tens of billions of dollars. Saudis have invested in China to build a new refinery. They're building multi-billion dollar refineries every year. They're building as many and as dirty and cheap coal fire plants for their electric grid and all the rest of the stuff. But we had the CEO of Chevron say, not since 1993 have we been allowed to build a refinery here in the U.S., and I don't think we ever will again.

And that goes to the presidents of Clinton, then to W., and then to Obama and Trump, and now Biden, and none of them will allow a refinery to be built in the U.S. Yeah, and I credit a lot of that happening to the general insouciance of the American public that thinks on an individual level, well, that doesn't affect me. You hear about it, you read about it, there won't be a new refinery, there won't be a new permit granted for a nuclear power plant, and so on. But life goes on, they're able to get in their car, go to work, they can provide for their families. Well, the rubber is hitting the road, and it's beginning to affect everyday people, and they're beginning to see it.

And I think it's hard to know when the turning point is. Often you don't see it until you're looking in the rearview mirror. But we may be getting very close to it. I think it really is beginning to sink in to more and more people that, you know, this is really something that presents an existential threat to me and my family. And therefore I am interested in it now. Yeah. We're starting to see some of that in Europe, of course, with the Biden sanctions. And, um, you know, we just had a shock to the oil market with OPEC raising its head again and saying, um, all these different countries have come in and said, we're going to reduce production by this amount. You total them

up and it's 1.1 million barrels per day. They're going to cut. And yet when you look at what Biden did, he's a one-man OPEC. As a matter of fact, he did more than that with his sanctions against Russia alone. He took 5.1 million barrels per day off of the market. And so, and that's not even counting things like natural gas, you know, and blowing up the pipeline and all the rest of this stuff. I mean, he's been a one-man wrecking crew to all this, putting a cap as all these presidents, including Trump and Bush, put a cap on these refineries.

That is essentially putting a cap on our ability to have mobility because all these things are going to wear out and be replaced. Yes, and there is a callousness that's evident in this that comes from people like Trump, like Biden, all of them, because they're insulated from it. It's not personal for them. They have unlimited access to our money and to resources. You know, Biden doesn't have to worry about who's paying for the 25 gallons of premium that's going into his limo that takes him to his air force one that burns up god knows how many thousands of gallons of jet a or whatever it is going across the ocean they don't care the beast yeah they don't care because they don't have to care that you know it's this it literally is what they said about marie antoinette and let them

eat cake that's what we're dealing with and i try to hit that home because it gets people angry and they ought to be angry about it. That's right. Oh yeah. You look at that incredibly wasteful vehicle that they've got, uh, the beast. I wonder if it's got a tag that says six, six, six on it. You know, at least remember Jimmy Carter at least had the decency to turn down the thermostat in the white house and wear a sweater.

Yeah, I know these guys don't even pretend. It's amazing. Truly. It's amazing. It truly is amazing. And I think the flip side of that is they might want to ask themselves, because I remember looking at the HBO dramatization of John Adams. And at one point, he and his opposition party vice president, Thomas Jefferson, are walking down the streets of Washington, D.C. Nobody's really paying any attention to them. They're talking. They stop.

They argue. And you look at that and you say, well, why doesn't that happen today? Why are they surrounded by this army of people everywhere to try to protect them? Why are they so hated that they have to drive in the most heavily armored vehicle in history? Why are they so hated that they have to drive in the most heavily armored vehicle in history? Why are they so hated? Maybe they ought to think about that. Sure. And it's obvious. It's because they have the power to do things to us. In the day of Jefferson and Adams, the federal government had almost no power, at least not at the state level. And so for most people, it was a moot point. It was an irrelevance what these guys were talking about. I remember in the early 1990s, we'd tell people, yeah, you think you're going to fix everything with the presidency? Take a look at Switzerland. The people there,

most of the people there don't even know who the president is, right? It should be like asking somebody, well, who is the head of the Commerce Department? As a matter of fact, you know, this restrict act that we're talking about, that power is being given to the Commerce Department. As a matter of fact, this Restrict Act that we're talking about, that power is being given to the Commerce Department. I had to ask Travis, I said, so who is running the Commerce Department now? I didn't even know because they don't have any power. Oh, you're going to know who the Commerce Department head is from now on if they get that thing through. But

you know, the people in Switzerland didn't even know who the president was because they didn't have any effect on their life. And we need to get back to that. Absolutely. It is absolutely crazy. Well, what else we need to get back to that uh but absolutely it is it is absolutely crazy well what else is a corollary to that too is getting out of the frame of mind of looking to quote-unquote leaders to help you help yourself figure out your own life and deal with your own life and stop looking to these these people to to help you in your life that's right

yeah that's the saddest thing about it. I was talking about that aspect of it earlier. You think about the dependency that has been engendered, even on the so-called rugged individualist conservatives, right? Oh, we've got to have the president save us. It's like, really? Really? Can you see the deerstalker saying something like that in Last of the Mohicans? It's like, he's going to say, no, I don't need you.

It's just a matter of simple human nature. You are most concerned with your own well-being. Outside of your mom and dad when you were a kid, nobody in this world is, period. So you look out for yourself. You look out for those who are dependent on you, your children, your elderly parents, and so on. And stop looking to people who aren't interested in your well-being, but who are interested in controlling you and getting power over you. That's right. Yeah, it is a gradual process to build dependency, and as you and I know, everything that the federal government does is presented as a help to us, as an aid to us,

but it's really there to make us dependent and soft, right? Dependent on them and unable to provide for ourselves. And we've seen this before with welfare. Welfare came out, well, we're going to give you a handout here and we feel compassion for you because you're poor or this or that. And yet it made people, it made those societies much, much worse and more dependent on government. But this has now happened to all the different segments of society as well, to the extent now that we think that every problem has to be fixed in Washington, and every problem

that's going to be fixed in Washington has to be fixed in the Oval Office, we've set ourselves up to be ruled by executive orders by dictators. Yeah, without doubt. And there's another aspect, too, in that it's set us at each other ruled by executive orders by dictators. Yeah, without doubt. And there's another aspect, too, in that it's set us at each other's throats. Yes. Now your neighbor is not your neighbor. He's somebody who might vote to take more money out of your pocket to fund something that he thinks is important.

So, you know, that only works to the benefit of these power elites who sit back in their chair and laugh at us as we bicker and fight amongst ourselves. And Trump is a perfect example of that, as to how he can divide people with that. But, you know, going back to this welfare thing, it is kind of interesting. I remember Charles Murray wrote the book, the beginning of the Reagan administration, Losing Ground, and he was talking about how welfare was harming the people it was intended, supposedly, to help. And yet, Charles Murray has now switched sides.

He's now pushing UBI, universal basic income, which is nothing other than universal welfare. And he's doing it because he's now got the mindset of the elite and they're looking at this and saying, well, we're going to be the, we're going to be the stakeholders. We're going to be the owners. How do we keep these people under control? Will we pacify them? Is that really any different from Yuval Harari or the rest of the Davos crowd? And, you know, that is really what's coming.

And, of course, our first introduction to it was the stimulus checks and the PPP that was given to us when Trump took everything away from us in 2020. You know, and what it does, it doesn't pacify them. All the evidence clearly indicates that what it does is make them resentful and violent. That's right. That's right. And it makes the people who are taxed to pay for it resentful. You know, they've taken out this whole idea of charity and replaced it with entitlement.

I'm entitled to have what you have and to take it from you, if necessary, by force with armed people. Whereas in the past, you know, when it was done on a one-to-one basis, when it was done with charitable organizations and churches and individuals helping other people, you could easily understand who really needed it. And it was done as an act of love. That's what charity really means. And they've taken all that away. And it had a built-in check. You know, if my neighbor down the road, who I know personally, fell upon hard times and I chose to help him because I knew that he was a good man and just fell on some hard times, that would be great. But then if I find out that he's taking advantage of me and he's just sitting around playing video games and smoking dope all day, I have it in my power to stop helping him out.

That's right. And the fact that you can't stop and the fact that they take the money from you, that again, builds division, distrust, resentment, anger, uh, looking at what is coming down the road. I,

you know, you just got Biden has just put into the census things to identify people who was, he put it, uh, foundational blacks or something like that. So instead of founding fathers, foundational slaves,

I mean, this is preparations for reparations and that is a preparation for civil war. Yeah. They're Bolshevizing the country. That's what they're doing. Yeah. And, you know,

Lennon called the shock troops of Bolshevism, the useful idiots, you know, the people who believed in the promises of the Bolsheviks, uh, that they were going to get something for nothing and they were going to be taken care of. And well,

they ended up being taken care of. All right. Yeah. Yeah. And most of those useful idiots are youthful. I call them youthful. Yes. We saw them marching in Tennessee yesterday.

I think maybe even they're still marching today. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pretty much every day, I guess they'll be there doing their thing. And we're supposed to pretend to care. You know, one thing I got to say, I, you know. I almost hate to do it because even the word makes my teeth hurt when I talk about tweeting. I'm a grown man.

I don't like the idea of tweeting, but I'm engaged in a little tweet battle with the hog, David Hogg, the leader, the self-styled leader of the anti-gun brigades. He engaged you on that? He hasn't engaged me yet personally, but every time he puts something up, I try to counter it. Uh, and I've called him an emotionally incontinent adolescent and a variety of others. That's a pretty good description. I like that description of me. That is that that fits.

Well, you know, you look at this and I gotta say when I'm, it may change, but I thought that the, uh, uh, the, uh, uh, police officers or state patrol or whatever that was there in tennessee i watched this mob of youthful idiots chanting and pushing and shoving they had a uh you know some representative that was trying to get to the to the chamber and he was surrounded by these cops and then you know they they uh used restraint which were to me looking at this, it was like, well, that's different. I hadn't seen that for so long. Usually the police come in all armored up like some kind of a Roman phalanx, and they go on the attack with their shields and their billy clubs. These guys were walking in, and they were protecting the representative, and they're being shoved, but they weren't even shoving back.

And I said, you know, that's probably the most effective thing they could do because it makes these youthful idiots look like the Marxist thugs they are, you know? Right. And the dupes, you know, it's both sad and it's frightening. It's sad in that it's awful to see young people who have been manipulated and used in this manner, but it's also alarming because they're dangerous. You know, they're as dangerous as the Bolsheviks were back in the 1920s. That's right. Yeah, they're being weaponized by the school system. You know, and it's what you look at with these kids who are committing suicide. Everybody has to ask themselves, why is everybody committing suicide now?

What's changed? Well, it's not the guns. But it is the education that has changed and the pressure that these kids are put under and the suicidal thoughts that they have because they are so fearful of peer pressure and of authority figures telling them that they're in the wrong body and all the rest of the stuff. It's just horrific what they're doing to the kids in schools. Well, the chaos and the constant pressure, the constant state of anxiety that they live in about everything. It's very difficult to maintain your equilibrium. We can, because we have the benefit of having grown up in sane times and being adults,

and we have perspective. But if you're 14 or 15 years old, it's a greater challenge by far. Well, you're going through all the insecurities and everything that everybody does. You've got all the peer pressure because it is like a Lord of the Flies environment. We all know we went through that. But now to that, they've added all these other things, you know, and, you know, you'll be celebrated if you change your gender and pronouns, but if you don't, you'll be vilified and purged out of their society. And so it's like, well, I don't really want it, but they're pressured into that to fit into that mold.

And like, we've never seen pressure before. And at the same time, they're told that the planet is going to be destroyed, that the adults are destroying the planet and they can't do anything. That's the Greta approach. It's no wonder that they're suicidal because of all these lies that are being fed to them. And then on top of that, all this fear campaign for COVID and most of them were too young to really be able to see through it. Sure. And they have all grown up post, you know, 9-11. So this is their world you know we

have the reference and the perspective of a better world they don't yeah that's what we're really missing you know i said that earlier i said it yesterday i said it earlier today i said we we are missing uh we we need to model the pure the beautiful the normal uh that is being disappeared and some of that is is our fault because we keep showing the weirdos libs of tiktok or whatever you know and yeah it was can you believe this is real yeah it is real you know there was kind of that moment where you see an awful accident and you you're looking and you can't look away but at the same time we got to realize that uh life can't just be about the car wrecks that are out there.

That's right. We've got to talk about a real world that we're going to build and what it really looks like. I'm going back and going to watch, whenever I watch a movie, I don't watch anything contemporary anymore. I go back and I look at classics from 60 years ago. I do the same. That's interesting. And I've heard that from a number of my friends as well, just the same. That's interesting. I've heard that from a number of my friends as well. Just the same. We've tuned out from the garbage that they are trying to cram down your throat nowadays

because it's vile. It's just ugly, as you say. I think it is extraordinarily important to provide an alternative, particularly for kids, to show them that the world isn't a horrible, ugly, dirty place. That's right. Yeah, and it is interesting. This last weekend, the number one, because they've done so much damage to the box office, the number one film only made $5 million. But it was a film about the life of Abraham.

So it was like a Bible film, right? And it was the number one film because people are just so disgusted with what's out there. And, you know, we just saw this other film that was jesus revolution made like 40 million dollars it's like several times what all the best picture nominees got combined and so you look at what hollywood is completely out of touch and um and yet you know if there if somebody does something that is wholesome and uplifting and, uh, and all the rest of the stuff that people are desperate for that because they've been living on this junk food culture that is out there and it's disgusting and, and degrading to even look at this stuff. And it's also a minority point of

view, you know, because of the corporate co-option of the media and the entertainment industry, everything they have been able to conf and purveyed this false reality that it's very solitude for people to buy in and look at it you know they see they see all the trans stuff they see all the depravity all of it on the t v and they see in the paper and they see it in schools if their kids and they think what i guess this is the way the world is pretty different you know they have

they have managed to convince the world of a minority point of view is, in fact, the majority point of view, which, to circle back to where we were a little while ago, is exactly what the Bolsheviks did in Russia 100 years ago. Yeah, yeah. After the shooting by that tranny in Nashville, cold-blooded Murat, you know, I talked about it, I said, what does it take to look a nine-year-old in the eyes and pull the trigger? I said, it's absolutely insane to think the mindset of somebody like that. But after that happened, people went back to a recent survey and they had done several thousand college kids.

And they looked at them to see who was most likely to get radicalized and violent. And it was a trans kids. And they were such a small minority. They were only about two percent of the people that um that they interviewed but they had a very high percentage of them uh were already i you know i called this a shooter in nashville last week i called her norma bates you know it's this kind of norman bates psycho mentality that is um that's at work here no wonder they're radicalized and violent and

we've seen this the rest of the week even in light of that that didn't pull them back and they didn't say well you know maybe we ought to try to back off a little bit because they know that the government's not going to come against them they know that they can continue to threaten violence to people in the wake of that killing and nothing is going to happen to them because they're protected. Yeah. Well, what they want specifically and what they've achieved to a really frightening degree is to normalize mental illness. Uh, you know, they, they began in earnest three years ago when they, when they normalized hypochondria, you know, the, the irrational pathological fear of sickness. And you had millions of people walking around with a face diaper and a plastic shield over their faces, terrified of getting sick.

And they normalized it. Not only did they normalize it, but they turned it into a virtue to be mentally ill, to be a pathological hypochondriac. And it's not a coincidence in my mind that almost in congruity with that, we saw the rise of this so-called trans phenomenon where kids who are having identity issues or having problems dealing with the usual problems of growing up are told that it's perfectly normal to insist that you're male when you're female and you're female when you're male, and then they get angry and resentful when the rest of the world doesn't go along with their pathological mental illness. Yeah, or you're a furry or whatever, or you're pathological mental illness. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Or you're a furry or whatever, or you're Napoleon Bonaparte. Or the litter box in the classroom. You're Napoleon Bonaparte. I say, yeah, these people think they're Napoleon Bonaparte. Don't expect me to march to your tune, you know, or your drummer. From the very beginning. It's very sad, again, because they're using kids. This is the despicability of it. They're using children who are the most vulnerable and these people behind

it, the ones who aren't the useful idiots, the ones who are using the useful idiots. I hope a day of reckoning comes for them at some point. You know, we just had the Country Music TV Awards. I'm going to talk about this coming up after we finish here. But you see these stars that are out there and the other people who are pushing this are saying, well, you know, I don't see the intolerance towards these people who want to dress up in high heels and wigs and all this. It's not about that. It's about the kids. They always make sure that they don't mention the kids there. Right. And, and so when we look at this and, and, um, you know, the, the diversion that we have away from this is always the way it's been with abortion. You know, we're saying, well, this is about my

body. Well, they made that pretty clear. They don't really care about your informed consent about anything. And so that narrative has pretty much been destroyed. But it was never about your body. It was also always about that other body in your body. And just like this is not about guys dressing up in high heels and dresses and performing for whatever that, but it's the fact that they demand that these kids have to watch them and that society has to validate and celebrate them. And that's the key.

That's the key. Yeah. And they, they, they, they further this purpose in part by constantly shifting the meaning of words. You know,

even that word gender, you know, gender has replaced sex. Sex is a very specific thing. You're, even that word gender, you know, gender has replaced sex. Sex is a very specific thing. You're either of the male sex or the female sex. So they've replaced that or are trying to with this gender thing, which is fluid, because what does that mean? Gender means how you dress.

It means how you act. And so it becomes kind of a false synonym for sex. And that's how they kind of shift the conversation along. They always do it by changing the terms. And of course, we saw this during the pandemic. They literally changed the definition of a vaccine and they changed the definition of immunity and everything. This is a standard tactic of the left. They come up with a positive label, just like they stole the word liberal. Liberal used to mean you were about liberty and about freedom, not about Marxism and socialism, right?

So they steal the labels if they're any good, or they invent new labels, and when you get into some kind of a political debate or fight with them, they've got the moral high ground because they've already chosen all the labels, and AP is all about that. I mean, they've got their speech rules and everything else, and so do the universities. You can't even have a conversation, let alone win one, the labels and AP is all about that. I mean, they got their speech rules and everything else. And so the universities. Yeah. You can't even have a conversation,

let alone win one when your opponent gets to define the meaning of the words that you use. That's right. Yeah. They've got their own language and they're rewriting our language. It truly is amazing. Well, uh,

in the time that we got left here, tell us a bit about how your preparations are coming for independence. Well, yeah, I've increased my flock. Uh, I now have, I guess, about eight ducks, and I've got close to 20 chickens, and I'm getting a rooster

so as to have sustainability on that front because anybody who has dealt with poultry knows that you have attrition from predators and disease and so on, so you want to have the ability to reproduce your birds, and that's what I'm in the midst of doing. I'm also, as the weather's finally getting warmer and I'm less shy about going outside and doing work,

I'm going to rig up a water catch system that will provide water without having to worry about a well pump, you know, that will just continuously provide water for them. So, you know, incrementally bit by bit. And I'm learning as I go. You know, I didn't grow up on a farm. I'm just learning from some of the farmers around me how to do these things. That's the way we are.

You know, I mean, everybody, you look, they take it as a sign of advancement that, you know, very few people work on farms or agriculture anymore, and even many of them are highly specialized. But it's just going back and recapturing these tools. And it's interesting because I've had several people on to talk about, uh, how they have done that in classes that they have on that, but it is a forgotten skill and it's things that we need to go back and recover. Just like a lot of the stuff that we were talking about in our own culture, uh, you know, the, and it is at the essence of independence. You know, Eric, I was looking at the Goldman Sachs

projection that 300 million jobs will be taken by artificial intelligence. And it was all people who were doing what we're doing, which is kind of looking at information and processing information, but also even doctors and lawyers, because a lot of what they're doing is processing information, passing on the prescriptions from pharmaceutical companies. You know, look at the table. You got these symptoms. Well, there, take this drug, that type of thing. But the people that were not threatened were the people and you can repair stuff, not only are you going to have protection against obsolescence, but you are also going to be in high demand when

everything starts breaking in this world. And so that's the key skill. Yeah, and there's give and take there too, intergenerationally. For example, I don't know all that much about computers, but I do know about mechanical things in cars. So I have, some of my friends have kids in their teens, and I've worked on cars with them to show them, because of course they're not being taught these things anymore. And they love it.

They love learning how a machine works. And in return, I get free computer help. It's everybody. I bet they don't have shop anymore in school, do they? You know, luckily in my rural area, they actually do still have auto shop. But yeah, but that's an anomaly because I live in a very rural area. Yeah. Yeah, we were talking the other day, Karen, something made her think about the fact she took home economics, right?

And that's another class I'm sure they don't have anymore. And as part of that, she's sewing a dress and all this sort of thing which again nobody does that anymore that's a lost skill i remember my older sisters were making their own dress and and they had stores that sold fabric and sold dress patterns and all that kind of stuff now we just uh you know we import it from japan from china and that's uh uh you know we we've become dependent on everything uh from other sources like that and they've created such fragile supply lines that there's no question that these things are going to break we've already seen dependent on everything from other sources like that, and they've created such fragile supply lines that there's no question that these things are going to break.

We've already seen them break. They're already oscillating. Remember what Franklin said about that which we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. Yes. And he was absolutely right about that. It's not just about being more independent rather than dependent. One gets a very deep feeling of satisfaction from being competent being able to do things oneself and you know i kids who when you when you see a

kid who learns how to do something uh and and you know that light comes on and they get it that's a really wonderful thing and that's the sort of thing i think that we can all encourage and and if we do it you know i think we're going to claw our way back to having a civilization again. I agree. And it's not something that we've been that long away from it because that used to be the reputation that Americans have, you know, can do. And, you know, we're going to, uh, we've got the attitude that we can accomplish this and we've got the know-how to pull it out. But I'm looking at these global supply chains. And to me, it reminds me of that video you always see of what was it the Tacoma Narrows Bridge so oh yeah and it's going like that and it's like I look at the global supply lines and it looks like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge right now and I'm just waiting for this whole thing to start

breaking up and we're gonna be on our side you know it may be for the best you know if we can once again recover our own capacity to do things and make things here, instead of being dependent upon shoddily made stuff that's built in China and being consumers rather than producers, I think it would benefit this country and the American people. I absolutely

agree. Well, thank you for coming on and it's always a pleasure talking to you, Eric. People can find a lot of information, practical reviews. I mean, he doesn't, uh, it's not like the establishment press that only does reviews on, you know, the, um, uh, the latest, uh, $4 million hyper car. Uh, he, well, I've been stuck with these two, you know, almost that category, but they're bringing me a Ford Bronco tomorrow.

So I'll look for the review of that in a couple of days afterward. There you go. Well, I mean, still, though, when you're doing the EVs, even expensive EVs, there's a lot that you can glean from that about EVs in general. But he does practical reviews, and he has also always been

about Liberty. So I appreciate what you do, Eric. Thank you very much. You bet. Thank you for having me on, David. Thank you. ericpetersepautos.com. And you know, as we're talking about this, I just had the guest on last week. I you very much. You bet. Thank you for having me on, David. Thank you. Eric Peters, epautos.com. And you know, as we're talking about this, I just had the guest on last week. I've still got the manual here. Civil Defense Manual. You know, these two volumes from Jack Lawson, civildefensemanual.com is where he's going

to talk about educating yourself to do practical stuff. I can't recommend that highly enough. And very important that you start to reclaim some of these skills to protect your family as well as to build community and things that you can do to feed yourself. And he's even got a free chapter there at that site, civildefensemanual.com, about providing water for yourself. So very important. We're going to take a quick break and we will come back and I'll talk a little bit about what happened at the Country Music TV Awards. Truly amazing. We'll be right back.

Joe, we've got a problem. What? Who are you? It's the new mug they're selling at the David Knight show dot com. Right. So basically a mug is something that holds liquid, right? Because, basically, you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?

I'm a scatly, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm be ready for it, you dog- faced pony soldier. They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world.

This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we owe the world. These people, they're supporting free speech with every mug they buy. Come on. These people I tell you will anyway.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.

That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
