You're listening to The David Knight Show. as the clock strikes 13 it's thursday the 15th of august year of our lord 2024
well today we're going to take a look at the monkey pox push no no they call it mpox
but we're going to take a look at that lie as they are ramping up everything again.
All of these organizations, there's actually more of them.
They've got more money, more grants, and they perceive that they have more permission to do this
since there's been no penalty from either Trump nor the Biden administration.
And of course, they're teeing this stuff up to hit us with this, regardless of which one of these puppets is selected.
So we're going to begin with that.
And we're going to take a look at some updates into the vaccines as well.
There's been a horrible court decision in Vermont.
We're going to talk about that.
Stay with us. We'll be right back. ¶¶ Yeah, honky-poks, not monkey-poks.
Ha, ha, laugh at it.
We can't laugh it off.
They're pushing it pretty hard.
Yeah, everybody get in line.
Get in line again.
Put the mask on.
I see people putting this stuff out.
This time it's real. Look, there's sores on people and it's
like yeah okay we had people had real respiratory illness and what'd they do they put them on
ventilators pulmonologist said we've never done that before well you know of course it's going
to kill them and it did the who has declared impacts to be a public health emergency as newer strain appears in africa yeah they're
straining the truth here aren't they uh but i got uh this was sent to me by handy uh they're already
pushing this stuff out in the hospitals uh here's what you need to do you got to isolate these
people immediately initiate contact isolation droplet isolation eye protection personal protective equipment
used by health care personnel who enter the patient's room should include gown gloves eye
protection goggles all the same stuff all the same drill and long setup here procedures
if you look at the tips for adequate collection of lesion specimen from a suspect monkeypox virus case,
it is so important to do this.
Not from a science standpoint, but from a deception standpoint.
You've got to pretend that you're actually doing science.
You're actually doing measurements.
And everybody's part of that.
The PCR is such a genius move.
Everybody gets to participate. Everybody gets to participate.
Everybody gets to measure.
It's like, oh, look, see, it says they've got it.
After I multiply it by 1.1 million times or even more now.
And then if they test positive, step number one is you mask all patients.
Now the hospitals, again, all patients. Now, the hospitals again.
All patients masked.
Come in with respiratory issue or they come in with a heart attack or something.
Smother them.
Smother them.
Yes, of course.
What?
How useless has the medical profession and hospitals become?
Absolutely.
Then step two, identify patient with signs and symptoms for monkey pox
but you gotta mask everybody now uh then if they pass the you know you you uh spin the roulette
wheel with a pcr and if it comes up positive uh then you use orange isolation signs and you tag them with it okay so the world health
organization declared mpox monkey pox honky pox whatever you know it is a tower of power for
these people isn't it uh i loved that we used to uh we used to play with a group that was in for
our own uh entertainment we would sometimes work on some of the songs, but people didn't want to have stuff that they would listen to.
They wanted to have stuff they'd dance to.
So they wanted a Casey and the Sunshine Band, but we'd play Tower Power for them.
But anyway, Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
And they have an acronym for that.
P-H-E-I-C, Public Health Emergency of International Concern. And they have an acronym for that. P-H-E-I-C.
Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
Today, the emergency committee.
Do you remember voting for these people?
I didn't vote for them.
Met and advised me that in its view, the situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.
And I have accepted that advice,
says the non-physician Dr. Tedros during a briefing yesterday.
In the U.S., there have been 1,634 cases of MPOCs reported so far this year,
according to data from the CDC, who we all trust, right? It is, by the way, significantly lower than what they saw at the peak of the Mpox outbreak in 2022.
Do you remember that one, how we all died?
I don't remember that.
I remember them freaking out about it.
I don't remember it being any big deal. Most recently, the Public Health Emergency of International Concern declared that the COVID-19 pandemic and the previous Simpocs outbreak of 2022.
So, you know, these are the same usual suspects that we see everywhere.
And now they're trying to tell us that they've got this down to the genetics. And course i hope you saw the interview that we had yesterday and i hope you do your own research
because you need to understand that their genetic analysis and the so-called uh
you know they don't isolate anything and their genetic analysis is just as much hand waving as, um, you know, the, uh,
PCR test.
And we used to talk about,
I don't know if that's a common phrase or not.
It used to be a common phrase where I went to school in engineering,
you know,
put the big equations up on the board.
Just wave your hands,
you know,
that's all it is.
Uh,
pure fiction in terms of detain,
uh,
determining this,
the genetic sequence is as much, if not more, well, fiction than PCR.
PCR, you can find anything anywhere, as he pointed out, especially if you multiply it by a trillion times.
People just don't realize how big a trillion is.
That's why when you look at the deficit, it's absolutely amazing.
Well, this is something actually, by the way, we didn't talk about it,
but actually they did talk about it in their book,
Mark and Samantha Bailey, that we talked yesterday.
I don't want to read to you what they wrote in this book that came out a couple,
it came out, I think, last year.
Blame the pox on gay men and animals again.
By 2022, the corporate media was taking stories of
disease contagion to hitherto unseen levels in mid-august the daily mail reported that a gay
couple in paris had given monkey pox to a dog that shared a bed with them this time the concept
of zoonotic disease had flipped on its head and it was proposed that humans were now submitting
transmitting germs to animals the so-called science concerning how this had happened was
reported to be based on the following social media post i'd suggest that the dog probably
licked the ill human and then licked its own butt said an md at the university of alberta on twitter
uh so there you go pure science pure conjecture no need to think of the sort about that the article
claimed that a pcr test had been used to confirm the dog had monkey pox however a review of the
scientific literature revealed that the monkey po PCR kits had no established capabilities for diagnosing an illness, and thus relevance of each of the positive result to the subject was unknown.
But the Daily Mail story went viral.
This is what the real viral stuff is.
It's the media is really viral.
The propaganda is really viral.
Genetic sequencing showed the strain of the disease was an identical match with the disease that had infected its owners.
This is conflating the detection of certain genetic sequences and closely confined shared environment with an imagined contagion virus.
The virologists have claimed that these genetic sequences are specific to monkeypox virus.
However, there is a major problem with this claim.
There are no scientific publications that show the sequence came from inside of a virus.
Unlike the New York Post, which used a computer generated image for the story
about the recent mysterious pneumonia in argentina the daily mail included a real electron
microscope image purporting to show monkeypox virus and here it is they have it in their book
you can see this over here the um the black and white picture.
However, as described in the caption, it was simply a sample of human skin showing tiny vesicles.
The findings could, of course, be associated with a disease condition. For example,
vesicles can result from the body's attempts to get rid of unwanted substances.
If the claim was being made that these particles are viruses, then further
experiments would need to be carried out to show that they are infectious.
But hey, you saw it right there.
There's a picture of the virus.
And we got all the computer-generated images.
As a matter of fact, they have fun with that on the cover of their book.
You've got a guy in a hazmat suit, and he's got a big ball there with spikes on it.
The coronavirus ball.
The detection, now back to current fiction.
And this is, now that was what the Daily Mail said.
This is now what is being pushed out by ABC News.
The detection and the rapid spread of a new clade of impacts
in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
On Monday, the Africa CDC.
That's what I call it, the Africa CDC.
You know, this is what I say.
When we talk about globalism,
when we talk about the climate MacGuffin,
when we talk about the pandemic MacGuffin,
you realize that it's not some globalist somewhere that we're fighting.
We're fighting our own government, our own government of people in it,
like Al Gore.
They were the ones who created the inconvenient lie or truth,
the convenient lie, the inconvenient truth.
They created this.
I mean, you look at this whole climate movement,
Paul Ehrlich and these other people, it's all coming from the u.s really the funding for these organizations it's coming from
the u.s the vaccines are coming from funding from the u.s and so forth and on you know it is all of
these things including the wars including their, is coming from that cesspool
Washington, D.C., the satanic center of the universe.
And we pretend that we're going to fight this by getting the right man, a single person,
elected to Washington, D.C.
He's going to turn this around.
Well, I wouldn't believe that, even if I believe that Trump was a man of character and intelligence,
and he's far from either of those things.
Anyway, the Africa CDC declared MPOCs a public health emergency of continental security.
And they have another acronym for that.
They're going to be declaring these, so they create these acronyms because they're going to be doing them all the time.
A public health emergency of international consequences.
Another one of continental security.
The first such declaration since the Africa CDC was created in 2017.
They didn't even do this for the covid scam certainly not in africa because in
africa most of the people just said i forget about it and i've had people contact me who
are listeners in africa and said well you know the europeans who are here uh they freaked out
and went home but everybody else is just going about their business they don't care not affected
by it again it's like a joke we've seen that meme um i you know i i don't have to worry about
catching covid because i don't watch the media that's what happened in africa and so abc news
says on the same day the who published a report that found that there were a total of 934 new lab confirmed cases of impacts and four deaths from 26 countries in the month of June.
They put this in.
Okay.
934 cases confirmed.
And only four deaths.
That's a pretty low case fatality rate, isn't it?
And I can, if I wanted to, I could give you two dozen things
that have a higher case fatality rate than that.
But this is an emergency.
And then when we talk about, they found 934 cases and only four deaths.
And they looked in 26 different countries.
Now they don't mention, uh, the 26 countries that they looked at.
It'd be interesting to know what the combined population of those 26 countries
were, uh, how many hundreds of millions of people? Maybe billions of people.
And they had four deaths.
Is this an emergency?
A two-dose
vaccine, however, has been approved
by the FDA. You see,
here we are, America,
the satanic cult
in Washington, at the center
of it all again.
The FDA has approved a two dose vaccine and this two dose vaccine now will prevent both smallpox and impacts.
Now, if you believed all their stuff about how they had isolated this and that this was a new clade.
Remember, that's how they mean.
Oh, we have new clades, newades new genetics well how does this work then
you know i mean this is a multi-purpose thing it not only does smallpox but it does mpox and it does
variants from mpox i mean weren't we told that we had to get boosters because
we have these variants yeah you got variants i think they're variants with logic is what they
are at variance with so mpox has declared a global public health emergency by the who
don't get fooled again and as new deadlier strain there's a new deadlier strain but they've already
got a vaccine that they're going to use for it it's a new strain and it's deadlier strain, but they've already got a vaccine that they're going to use for it. It's a new strain and it's deadlier, but don't worry because the vaccine is going to
take care of it. Thank you on Rumble. Thank you, Michelle
Obama. Thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. So we have
four organizations, four organizations
of the pandemic vaccine industry, and they're looking to
raise $125 billion.
Now, the headline says 123, but they forgot to add that last one in.
Over the past few months, the WHO, Gavi, the International Development Association,
that's one I had not heard of before, and i'd not heard of the pandemic fund either they've all revealed how much money they will need in the next few years because you
know they're going to kick this stuff off i mean just imagine the trillions of dollars in wealth
transfer that'll happen if you give them only 125 billion you see uh people are going to get a return on their investment from these
bureaucratic organizations just like they do from government elected
officials you know thousands of percent return on your investment the WHO wants
to raise 11 billion Gavi wants doctors to cough up another 11.9. IDA, the International Development Association,
wants to raise 100 billion. And the pandemic fund wants 2 billion, 125 billion. Where's the money
going to come from? You, you and your children. The U.S. is the largest single donor to global health you see what i said
we fund it we create this stuff uh we we create the the vaccines the you know the pcr tests all
the rest of stuff it's all coming from the u.s it's coming from darpa really the u.s was the
top donor to ida the u.s is also the top contributor to the whl and so far the u.s is
leading the charge for the replenishments of both the pandemic fund and of gavi the gates thing
pledging 667 million it's not 666 um it should be 666 million.
Anyway, when you look at who's paying for these various things, usually you can trace this back to Soros and Gates,
one or the other or both in these types of things.
But in this particular case, we has met the enemy,
and they is us, as in United States.
We are the Soros and the Gates.
And it's actually people like Trump and Biden and their administration.
They are the ones who are administering this, managing it, funding it, and so forth.
It's just amazing to me that people can't get their head around it
because of this partisan cliquishness, tribalism.
They don't want to believe that their candidate would do this kind of evil stuff,
and yet it comes out of their administrations.
Massive wealth transfer.
As we've seen during the COVID era, e-r-r-o-r
the same names crop up among private funders such as the rockefeller foundation bill and melinda
gates foundation the welcome trust the rockefeller gates foundations are linked wiki spooks noted in
2020 people with close connections to the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft. People like Patty Stone-Suffer and Rajiv Shah have senior positions in the Rockefeller Foundation also,
making the two giant foundations noticeably interwoven or strategically infiltrated by Gates.
And, of course, when you go back and look at the social media companies, you can see this same type of stuff, as I've said many times, on the venture capital boards.
You've got the intelligence community, representatives, higher officials, just like they have these higher officials of Microsoft sitting on the Rockefeller Foundation board.
You had on the venture capital firms, you had these people who are high up in the intelligence community,
the military industrial complex,
sitting on these venture capital firms boards,
handing out money to all these people are going to compete against each
other.
May the best man win and control the people.
CIA had his own venture capital firm in QTEL.
So you could say that in the same way that we're looking at Rockefeller and the Gates
Foundation, the UN, the WHO are all interwoven with the U.S. government.
And not only that, but with the part of the U.S. government that's all about conducting
wars and killing people.
The money that Gates is moving from one scheme to another is not his own, but it originates
from contributions made by national governments and the taxes that we pay, primarily the U.S. government
and the U.S. taxpayer.
And that's how we get things like $35 trillion in debt.
And it's why these people don't care and they'll never balance the budget with an income tax,
but they'll continue to do it because they are at war with Americans.
Our American government is at war with us.
And every government on earth, if you paid attention for the last four years, you can see that every want to do things to the benefit of your people,
you are labeled a nationalist, a populist, and you are attacked as a threat to their order,
because you are a threat to their order if you do that,
and this is true of both Trump and Biden.
It's true of Republicans and Democrats, regardless of who they are.
The Pandemic Fund, which I had not heard of before, was established in September 2022.
It is a partnership with the World Bank.
It finances investments to strengthen pandemic prevention,
works to make money and wealth transfer for these pandemics.
Of course, the World Bank would get in on it
because it's a massive transfer of wealth.
And then, of course, Gates' Gavi and the Vaccine Alliance,
founded in 2000.
It is allied with UNICEF and the World Bank.
And the three permanent members of this are the World Bank, UNICEF,
and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
They're the three permanent members of the Vaccine Alliance
that they call Gavi. They're the three permanent members of the vaccine alliance that they call Gavi.
They are the core partners.
Gavi is now vaccinating more than half of the world's children,
giving it tremendous power to negotiate vaccines at prices that are affordable
for the poorest countries and to remove the commercial risks
that previously kept manufacturers from serving them.
That's how they describe themselves.
Now, and this article is from Expose News.
They said, in other words, Gavi is creating a global vaccine monopoly.
Gavi is not a charity.
Gavi is not giving vaccines away.
It is selling them.
And to pay for its expenses, it'll be selling vaccines at above cost.
And so what is their financial?
They say they're a not-for-profit organization.
But look at what they spent in 2023.
$33 million on fundraising activities.
$44 million on its management expenses.
So that's $77 million.
But then they had something they call program expenses.
That would be the cost of goods sold and the profits that they make from it as well.
That was $3.6 billion.
In other words, of its expenditures, 98 98 of that was program expenses that's all about
selling vaccines and so what drives the public's mass fear with things like this uh mpox stuff and
again i've seen conservative influence influencers putting out pictures of people with pox on them and everything and
saying, this time it's real. This time it's real. Same people who've been scaring you for four
years, four plus years about the Wuhan gain of function stuff. They told you it was real.
Yeah, it's real. They got a gain of function lab there. And yeah, they did.
I noticed that in 2019.
I reported on it. But then when I saw people falling down the street, and when I saw
the measures that they were doing,
you know, China locking people down.
You got to lock down until we get the vaccine.
That was straight out of the playbook from DARPA.
DARPA.
The Chinese Communist Party
implemented the DARPA plan. going back to dark winter.
Think about that.
Like I said, we are the epicenter of the dark, satanic plots here.
Well, how did they get all this stuff through?
Well, there's an interesting story on Zero hedge paul thacker disinformation chronicle
neither scholar nor journalist how a new york times influencer undermined groundbreaking study
debunking mask mandates she's a social media influencer from turkey originally uh Zeynep Tufekci.
She's from Istanbul, not Constantinople.
That's wrong.
Once you get it in your head, you can't get it out.
Social media influencer Zeynep Tufekci pressured the prestigious medical nonprofit Cochrane
to put out a statement attacking his own review that found that there
was little evidence that masks stop respiratory viruses.
Folks, there's no evidence, no evidence whatsoever.
It has been debunked for decades.
One of the people that Tufekci interviewed in the piece also told me that she twisted
his words and gave me the emails to show it uh this is a paul thacker
disinformation chronicle uh how the new york times undermined mask evidence in march 2023 the new
york times columnist zeynep tufekci wrote an essay arguing that masks work while attacking
a review on mass by Cochran.
Now, the people who did this at Cochran, they're scientists.
They did clinical trials.
They do medical research.
What is her expertise in?
She got a degree in social sciences.
She works for the New York Times.
And because she took the lead at the New York Times
in terms of pushing all of these superstitious measures,
you know, if you don't knock on wood, you're going to get COVID.
If you step on a crack, you're going to get COVID,
and all in on, right, all this stuff.
This person said, I'd noticed videos and news stories
circulating on social media pointing out
that several public health officials had done a 180
from the early months of the pandemic.
First stating that masks don't work because they knew it before the COVID.
But then after they were told they had to do it, keep their job and their position, they pivoted to advocate for masks.
He said, so I went down the list.
I looked at the Cochran Mask Review, he says, that was published in February of 2023.
And this was not the first time that the scientists there had examined scientific literature to see if there was any evidence that masks worked to stop viruses. they had published prior updates finding the same thing in 2020
in 2011 in 2010 in 2009 in 2007 he says so the whole thing started 17 years ago
every time cochran put out a review that looked at masks, nobody said anything because masking wasn't controversial.
It wasn't political.
Like I said, this was all about behavioral science.
It was about political science, which is where she comes in.
So the people who are doing this says, well, you know, people are getting sick with this, whatever the tests were that they did with it.
But look, it's even older than 2007 as i said many many many
many times there was research done in 2002 and the scientists there said masks don't make any
difference and they uh people some people are wearing them in operating theater shoes from
australia some people wearing them in operating theaters and some people aren't.
And there's no difference in the results.
And in 2002, when they first pushed out the SARS suspicion and the pandemic claims and everything,
you had people all over Asia wearing masks.
And it's a matter of public record that the New South Wales government
threatened a $100,000 fine to anyone who sold a mask and made a claim
that it was going to protect people from SARS or from any virus.
And it was based on, a lot of it was based on her work.
And it's one of the reasons why when you look at the boxes that have the masks, the boxes say this doesn't do anything to stop anything.
But, you know, this is this whole thing is for people who don't think people who don't read.
I said, so why was I reading a mask works essay in the New York Times?
The only explanation is this woman, Zeynep Tufekci.
Once the pandemic started, she made a name for herself writing essays in places like Wired, Total Garbage, and Scientific American.
Total Garbage.
Scientific American is going to publish somebody like this to tell you that masks work?
Scientific American can't determine what a man and woman are i mean that's how pathetic it is
been called out even by people like dawkins tufeki has no training in medicine no training
in public health but you know what she got a pulitzer Prize for pushing lies on the New York Times.
Wikipedia says she was, oh, she didn't get the prize.
She was a finalist.
Pulitzer Prize finalist for her, quote, insightful, often prescient columns on the pandemic in American culture.
She could predict this stuff before it happened.
Imagine that.
She was selling it to people before it happened. She was selling it to people and it never happened. Which the
committee said, quote, brought clarity to the shifting official guidance and compelled us
towards greater compassion and informed response. Again, she is a sociologist, sociologist.
And she was able, they considered giving her a Pulitzer Prize
because she was able to explain away people who did 180s,
you know, shifting guidance.
Well, here's why they're telling you now something completely different
than what they've always known and what they've always said.
She was a visiting assistant professor at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Maryland.
Somehow now a global expert, just like Bill Gates, who doesn't have any background at all in any of this stuff.
He doesn't even write decent operating systems.
He doesn't even write operating systems. he steals them from people like digital research doesn't even change
the name so stuff becomes one of the richest men on earth he doesn't write code he steals
stuff from other people and he doesn't even maintain it well so uh in 2020 during the
covid19 pandemic tufeki was critical of the mainstream
media for failing to explain the importance of mask wearing and is often cited as one of the first
to take up the importance of mask wearing and mainstream media a sociologist an anthropologist
because that's what this is about this is is about groupthink. It's about behavioral psychology.
It's about manipulating people through politics and all the rest of the stuff.
It has nothing to do with medicine.
All of this stuff is a bunch of nonsense.
This led to her becoming one of the academics who advised the WHO.
We got Tedros, who's the head of the WHO.
What's his background in medicine?
Zero. None. None whatsoever. All these people are demanding zero COVID. Guess what? We got zero doctors. We got zero science. We got zero medical people there. It's all being run by
Marxists and socialists and sociologists and all the rest from these places. She became an advisor to the WHO on masking.
Well, we'll leave it at that.
And then I want to get into what is going on with the vaccines.
There is an update on that.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. Sous-titres par LaVacheSquid Thank you. Making sense.
Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, as I said yesterday,
we, and again,
I highly suggest
that you look at the interview
and that you get the books.
Mark Bailey, Samantha Bailey,
The Final Pandemic,
An Antidote to Medical Tyranny.
Another book
that appears to be interesting
I've not read yet.
Dissolving Illusions,
Disease, Vaccines, and the forgotten history by dr. Suzanne Humphreys and Roman
bistrionic is be my best guess in terms of pronouncing his name but talks about
60 years of working on flu vaccines, unable to develop vaccines that reduce mortality rates.
This is also from Expose News.
The book was published in 2013.
Ten years later, after more experience and research, the authors released a 10th anniversary edition
to which the authors added more than 200 pages, more than 350 references.
And again, these people are really documenting stuff.
Well, the original book that was done by Mark Bailey, 400 pages, 1400 references.
This is shorter, but it still has over 400 references in it.
Dissolving illusions, details, facts and figures from long overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources, using myth-shattering graphs,
the book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increases in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases.
If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information,
the question must be asked, what else have they ignored?
What else have they misinterpreted today?
This is one of the reasons why the Bailey's went upstream and started
questioning.
All right.
So what is your evidence?
You know, show us the isolated COVID thing.
Well, we don't have it.
Christine Massey and others.
We don't have it, but this is the way we do it.
Wait a minute.
Do you do that with all the viruses?
Oh, well, then you don't follow the scientific method with any of the viruses, do you?
Or any of the diagnoses here.
But there's a lot, there's information that is extracted from this dissolving illusions
in terms of various diseases attributed to viruses that is also in here.
You see, when they tell you, well, our vaccines cured polio,
our vaccines cured smallpox and so forth.
Did they?
Did they get rid of measles?
You know, even RFK Jr. even will push that out.
He goes, okay, so they got rid of chickenpox and measles and so forth.
But at what cost?
Because now look at how certain things like autism have soared in our society and many know, when you inject something into somebody's body, this has been a long-term criticism of vaccines.
It's very different.
I think both of them were talking about if you ingest snake poison, it's not going to harm you.
Your body will take care of it if you swallow it.
But if you put it into your bloodstream, you're going to die.
That type of thing.
You inject something directly into the bloodstream,
your body doesn't have defenses against it.
Other things that are in the atmosphere,
as you breathe in, especially if you're not a mouth breather,
you're going to have a lot of different things that are going to
in your body that are going to filter out things your skin and other stuff like that anyway
uh it wasn't long ago this is from the book um it wasn't long ago when infections plagued the
western world smallpox scarlet fever measles typh, diphtheria, whooping cough, other diseases, once considered to be a tragic part of life.
Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in the death from all these infectious diseases,
decreasing by the mid-1900s to very low levels.
The elimination of these diseases is one of the most amazing yet unsung public health revolutions in history. That journey
from disease cesspool to our modern world is a tale of plagues and famine, crushing poverty and
filth, lost cures, individual freedoms versus the might of the state, protests and arrests,
and much more. Dissolvingving illusions paints a historic portrait with
quotes from the pages of long overlooked medical journals books newspapers and other sources
to reveal a startling history that's been disregarded and so when you look at what they show
you see that these things have disappeared these things that have disappeared and they came and say we cured it right this is exactly the same playbook that trump and fauci and biden and all the rest of
them said oh wow yeah see we cured covid uh with our vaccines it's like no it wasn't a covid
to start with but then they take uh they take credit for having cured it
bistrionic uh roman bistrionic briefly discussed the u.s data on measles the collection of data
on measles began in 1900 by the time a vaccine was rolled out for measles in 1963
the measles mortality rate had already decreased by 98.6 percent the vaccine came in way after
their mortality rate had already dropped so i was child when that stuff came out my i didn't get it
uh my mom was skeptical of this stuff she wasn't going to rush out and get the latest
vaccine that had come off the um you know, just rolled out.
And as I said so many times when I play that clip from Trump, oh, they got to get it.
Got to get the shot.
It's going around.
They really got to get the shot.
It's like, no, you didn't get the shot.
You didn't die.
And you're denying people their medical and religious exemption over this, saying they got to get it?
No.
As a matter of fact, England began gathering data on measles in 1838.
The mortality rate decreases gradually from an initial high and then significantly drops from the 1920s from the mid-1900s the mid-1900s the measles mortality rate in england was virtually
zero as i've said so many times all these people talking oh wow this happened yeah anything can
happen um you know you can die from freak accidents or anything but i had, ever heard of anybody getting measles and dying.
And so they started vaccinating in 1968 in England.
And by that point, they had almost a 100% decline. It was 99.8%.
Nearly 100%.
Decline in mortality rate from measles.
I had covered this many times before.
There's been, before they started all this
COVID nonsense and everything, there had been several different supposedly outbreaks of measles.
Nobody died. And when they looked at the people, there was one in New York that involved four people and they had all been vaccinated uh all of them had determined except
for one had determined that they'd been vaccinated twice and that person wasn't sure
and yet they all got it you know patient zero and the other three had all been vaccinated and
they still get what they identified as measles whether it was or not and um they said so by their own standards their vaccine is not effective
uh so but everybody said but we don't have measles yeah measles disappeared mid-20th century
mid-20th century we haven't had And we, and it disappeared before the vaccines,
but they take the credit for it.
They did the same thing with whooping cough as well.
Displaying the graph for a whooping cough.
Bestrionic demonstrated that it was the same.
The mortality rate was already very low before any vaccine campaigns.
In the U.S., a vaccine for a whooping cough was introduced in the late 1940s.
By that point, there was already a 92% decrease in mortality.
In England, they began vaccinating in 1957.
When they already had almost 100% decline in mortality rate, it was 99.7.
Not only did the vaccines not contribute to reduced mortality,
but data from Sweden conclusively shows that the whooping cough vaccines are ineffective.
In 1978, examinations showed that 84% of children
who were verified to have the pertussis bacteria
had previously received three doses of vaccine.
But again, in the book, The Final Pandemic,
they point out that the pertussis bacteria,
this is a bacteria, it's not a virus,
that when they try to,
when they expose people to that particular bacteria,
guess what?
There's no difference. And people who get whooping cough and people who don't get it so that would tell you that's not the cause
right there's no there's no evidence as a matter of fact there's evidence that shows that it's not
the cause of it and yet that's what they call it the pink off they call it pertussis uh flu flu shows a
similar pattern the u.s began vaccinating for flu in the late 1970s by this time there'd already
been a 90 decrease in the flu mortality rate there's no real decrease in the death rate from
the flu after 40 years of vaccination um there was something else that was happening.
And many of these things in the book, they talk about beriberi, a very difficult disease.
One doctor believed that it was due to malnutrition, But he was immediately dismissed. No, we know that it's
a virus and we know that it's going to
be cured by a vaccine.
Fortunately, they
found that they
could cure it with nutrition.
It was a malnutrition
disease, just like scurvy and
vitamin C, something like that.
So
perhaps that is why these things were disappearing.
And yet the virologists and the pharmaceutical industries took the credit for what had happened with all of that.
Well, there's also the downside.
We have a popular YouTuber who had a channel known as Pretty Pastel Please.
Died suddenly of myocarditis at the age of 30.
An influencer.
Somebody who had pushed the vaccine.
Somebody who had pushed the booster as well.
The Australian travel and fashion content creator.
Had 691,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Was only 30 years old when she died uh and so the
family who is in scotland um posted some details on facebook about it they said it was determined
by the tasmanian coroner that alexandra's sudden death was due to a very rare debilitating and fatal
infection of the heart. Used to be rare. It's not anymore. Myocarditis. Now household word.
A condition that affects approximately one in every 15 million people. Myocarditis, they said.
She had been feeling faint, short of breath shortly before she died.
This was unbeknown to her due to her failing heart.
The post adds that she had suffered extreme reactions to the COVID mRNA vaccine boosters, the Trump shots.
Oh, well, I think in her particular case, we can pretty much say that she was killed by the Trump shot.
Myocarditis, often symptomless, can go undiagnosed,
acting like a ticking time bomb in sufferers who are unaware they have it until it's too late, especially the younger people
who are used to being able to go out and do extremely stressful things
and have extremely high heart rates.
They don't know that they've got a heart problem.
I mean, we used to not have to give electrocardiograms to school children
to see if they can play sports.
But thanks to Trump, that Benedict Donald and Biden and the rest,
Fauci and the rest of these globalists who have taken over our government.
Now that is a common practice.
Many different jurisdictions began telling kids if they wanted to participate in sports,
they're going to have to do an electrocardiogram.
But hey, you know, it's just like autism.
Just forget about it.
It's just the thing now, right?
Nobody wants to ask why it is so common when it was so rare.
So, our carditis has skyrocketed around the Trump mRNA shots.
And so, you have, as a matter of fact, before i get into this clip here um this is um someone who
was injured by the vaccine so she also has a story about it um i got covid back in 2020
and i was like oh mg this is the worst but also i'm 21 years old it should be relatively okay
i've never had any prior health issues but then I started getting numbness in my hands and my forearms along with really persistent
headaches, which I never really had before. I attributed this to just being really stressed
out because I just started the serving job. I was crying in the walk-ins. You guys know how it is.
You know how it is. But then my tongue goes numb in my mouth and I'm like,
oh, oh, that's not supposed to happen. So I go to the ER. I pass out in the ER drama queen. I know,
I know. They tell me, don't even worry about it. You're just anxious. Like they were, they were
agreeing with me. I was like, I knew it. Like, so, so sorry to waste your time. I go back home
three months later, I'm hanging out with someone. My entire left side of my face starts to droop. They're like, okay, time to go back to the hospital.
I'm like, no, no, it's just anxiety. Don't you worry. But sadly, not anxiety. It was a stroke.
And I had been having strokes apparently because my internal carotid arteries were closing up to
be this teeny tiny small. So they had to open them back up with stents. And I was like,
great. Okay, that's, that's totally great. We're done. Haha, that was traumatic. Putting that in
the past. I fly to New York City because what else am I supposed to do? And then whilst in New York
City, I get numbness again, this time in my head, and they find a big old marshmallow of inflammation
behind my eyeball. So I go back home because no way I'm dealing with that by myself. Absolutely no way in New York City. Are you kidding? And when I wake up from the flight, no vision,
no vision at all. So that's kind of unfortunate. And now it's 2023 and no one really knows why
all of this happened exactly or how to get rid of it. I think we know how it happened, but we don't know how to get rid of it.
And as upbeat as she is,
if you are,
for the people who are listening,
the whole left side of her face
is paralyzed.
At first I thought she had Bell's palsy,
but it's worse than that.
It's a stroke.
And she lost her vision
in that eye as well.
Just horrific. Beautiful young woman who has
been disfigured and blinded by this stuff and so the vermont supreme court is going to sacrifice
children to big pharma that's the brownstone headline and that's exactly what they're doing. I tell you, we talk about child sacrifice and ancient cultures.
You know, it was very common to sacrifice their children to Moloch.
And Canaan and the Israelites began doing the same thing.
They would heat it up, and they'd put the baby on this heated up metal idol
and burn it to death they called it passing it through the fire and as israelites picked up the
culture there picked up the religion there even some of the kings did that many of the kings did
that and uh so this is something that's been there for quite a while but aren't we doing the same thing you know we're kind of sacrificing our children to big pharma we're
sacrificing them to planned parenthood we're sacrificing them to our ambitions we're sacrificing
them if they survive being a baby we sacrifice sacrifice them to the LGBT political correctness.
The tranny stuff.
A controversial Vermont Supreme Court decision
reached the rather astonishing conclusion
that the government can vaccinate very young children
with experimental products
without parental consent
or legal recourse.
Where did they come up with this?
You know, we've completely gotten rid of parental rights.
And again, going back 15 years ago when I was working on this stuff, 2009, I did some videos for the parentalrights.org. It was an offshoot of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. And they pointed out that even though the UN had the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
and the purpose of it was to destroy the family,
the purpose of it was to remove the parents so the government could control the children.
And we see what that looks like now.
We see all the gaslighting grooming mutilation
vaccination all the rest of the stuff there was a mature minor law here in tennessee they had a
big fight over it and the head honcho of public health in tennessee was fired. And Nicely and others got rid of this idea
that there's a mature minor.
They don't have a mature minor in most of the things.
You can't drink, you can't drive, you can't smoke,
you can't own a gun, you can't, you're not mature.
Minors are not mature.
That is an oxymoron.
It is a lie.
But this is what they're saying the kids can do this and
they don't need to have parental consent and we said when we were doing this 15 years ago pushing
and saying look we just need to have a very short amendment to the constitution parental
rights amendment it was only a couple lines long um just establishing the parents as the authority
and a family and um and without that even though the united states did not sign on to that
un abomination you've got judges and courts everywhere making it de facto. And that's what's happening here with the Vermont State Supreme Court.
The Vermont Supreme Court ruled that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act,
the PREP Act, the PREP Act that the George W. Bush administration shepherded through in 2005,
as I've said so many times, all this stuff that's
happening with the pandemics, all this stuff that is happening with the public health tyranny,
all of it politically is 100% tied to 9-11. It's the other shoe to drop. They use 9-11,
and it was two months before 9-11 that they started their first germ game and so forth.
They put out the Public Health Emergency Powers Act to the states and had them pass them.
And then, and that was all in 2001.
They had the first germ games.
You had 9-11 attack.
You had the legislation went out to the states. George W. Bush is still in and he pushes the PrEP Act
which like the
the Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986
that Reagan signed
the first thing that Fauci got through
the PrEP Act did it for
any pandemic that would be declared
any kind of public health emergency
and of course it essentially shut down
all compensation.
There's been about $4 billion worth of compensation
of people that were injured by the childhood vaccine thing.
There's been essentially nothing with the PrEP Act.
And so the Vermont Supreme Court went to this abomination
put in by George W. Bush,
this 9-11 Patriot Act, PrEP Act stuff,
and referred to that and said that this PrEP Act immunizes school officials.
It doesn't immunize kids.
You know, this is a vaccine.
They don't work. Nobody gets any kind of immunity from any of this stuff. But they're going to immunize legally school officials from all state law claims as a matter of law, said the Vermont Supreme Court.
So here in Vermont, the Supreme Court is legislating from the bench.
The court did not address state or federal constitutional privacy protections or bodily autonomy.
Merely swallowing these paramount individual rights in a perverse, all-entrusting servitude to federal preemption by an omnipotent administrative state.
Administrative state government.
So forget about all this my body, my choice.
Forget about all this stuff that minors are incapable of decision
in pretty much every other area of their life.
And forget about the fact that we have parents.
All that stuff wiped out by the Vermont Supreme Court.
As we see people being injured and killed by this.
Now, one last thing i want to say about vaccines
we had um and i didn't cover it i don't cover every accident that's everywhere but there was a
horrific plane crash in brazil and um there was um uh and i'll just show you the picture of it here
uh it was captured on video by a lot of different people from a lot of different angles.
And you see it falling very, very rapidly.
It goes down behind the trees and then there's a big explosion that happens there.
This is in Brazil.
Everybody on board died.
There were eight doctors.
There's the smoke from the fire.
Eight doctors that were on board on their way to an oncology conference a cancer conference
and um the um uh it's very interesting because there were going to be 15 of them on board and
it was just a small plane including crew uh 62 people on board uh The plane was at an altitude of 16,000 feet
and then went into,
they don't know why,
went into a death spiral
and fell to the ground from 16,000 feet,
fell to the ground in 50 seconds.
There were 15 doctors on their way to the,
they were going to be about a quarter of the plane
scheduled to take that flight but seven of them had taken an earlier flight or they would have
gotten 15 of them of the people who were on board they were whistleblowers and as they were eulogized by regional medical council a person eduardo baptistella he said
these were people who dedicated their lives to saving others they were on their way to an
oncology conference and the according to a colleague the whistleblowing doctors were set to present evidence to the world that the public was being misled about the nature of the mRNA COVID-19 injections.
The doctors on the doomed flight had concluded that governments and regulators should urgently recall the mRNA vaccines before any more harm was done.
Here's what one of the doctors had to say before
he was killed in that plane crash.
There is however one subset of T cells that tumors are very happy to have and that's the regulatory T cells.
So unlike the conventional T cells, they're usually not designed to kill. They inhibit specific immune responses and solid tumors are really enriching these cells.
So what I found is that if I take a page from the CAR T cell book and put a CAR targeting a
tumor antigen on the Treg, this CAR Treg actually kills the tumor cell and
compared with the naturally activated Treg, it makes a lot more inflammatory
cytokines including interferon gamma and TNF alpha and others. And so what we're
finding then is that something about the way the car signals in a T-reg
makes it become less suppressive, less inhibitory, and more pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic. So our hope is that because T-regs are this ability to infiltrate
solid tumors, if you can put a car in them that targets solid tumors, they actually infiltrate and destroy the solid tumor. And in addition, it's been shown as inflammatory cytokines further reprogram, destabilize the
suppressive immuno-microenvironment of the solid tumor. So the idea here is to have this Trojan
horse, this CAR T reg, that will traffic the solid tumors and kill the cells when it's there,
and help recruit more inflammatory immune cells over there. And so right now we have a lot of
data in vitro
on what these CAR T-regs look like after activation,
what their chemokine expression level is like,
chemokine receptors as well.
We're currently doing immunocompetent mouse models
to test how powerful these CAR T-regs are in solid tumors.
Come by my poster on Sunday.
And so he put that out just before he went to the conference.
He was saying that they had 90% remission in the labs.
But, of course, that's been shut down.
And so as they were going to blow the whistle about the mRNA vaccines,
and as Pfizer has just announced that they have a cancer vaccine,
this is supposed to cure cancer instead of causing it. It's like that
joke from Better Call Saul. Actually, it's Breaking Bad. Saul Goodman says,
you need a criminal lawyer. He goes, yeah, I got to go. No, no, I mean a criminal lawyer. You know,
like me, I commit crimes, that type of thing. of thing well you know you need a cancer vaccine
well we've already got one and they were going to talk about it and they were also going to talk
about what they had that they said they had gotten 90 remission uh so i guess you know the question
is conspiracy theorists will look at this and it's like well i don't have any problem believing that
they're you know we got to prove it but But certainly, if these people, these mass murderers, have killed millions, tens of millions around the world, what's another eight doctors?
You see, this might be another reason why members of Congress and the GOP, even though their constituents don't like these shots and certainly it is career suicide to oppose trump who boasts about what he
accomplished but it also might be suicide to do it otherwise that doctor's name was leo
ferrera i think is the way that that's pronounced we'll take a quick break we'll be right back and
talk about lala and Tim Waltz.
I didn't get to this yesterday.
The paintball thing.
Just amazing what he had the National Guard doing during these lockdowns.
What an incredible tyrant he was.
We'll be right back. Thank you. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Analyzing the globalist's next move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Well, there's been a lot of discussion.
I talked about the Musk and Trump conversation, the two-hour conversation preceded by a cyber attack, preceded by threats from the EU.
And we talked a little bit about some of the things that they said.
One of the things that they said that we didn't talk about yesterday, they both agreed that we don't have a president right now.
Well, it depends.
Who is the president?
Who runs this country?
See, I believe it's the same group of people, regardless of which puppet they put up front.
So the reason that the country is continuing on, even though we've had Biden, who is clearly not there.
And still, you know, he's still supposedly the president what's he doing uh
they've essentially done the 25th amendment on him in the democrat party for all practical purposes
but he's still there so who's running the country if he's not capable of running for re-election
then he's running the country well the the good news is that they've busted the illusion
that there is something uh someone is has anything to do with it no the president
just the same group of people that run both the democrats and the republicans but trump and musk
speaking said well we don't have a president right now trump said he can't lift a chair
the chair weighs about three ounces no it's meant for children and old people to lift and he can't lift a chair the chair weighs about three ounces no it's meant for
children and old people to lift and he can't lift it the whole thing is crazy uh talking about a
beach chair uh musk chimed in adding it's clearly like we just don't have a president right now
to which trump replied you don't have a president.
You know, the problem is America hasn't had a president for quite some time.
We had the JFK coup and all the rest of these things. We've got handlers.
We've got CIA handlers who are running the country.
Babylon Bee goes along with that theme.
Meet Brindley, the White House intern
who's running the country today.
And they give Brindley's schedule.
8.30 a.m., Brindley wakes up to a tall mocha frappuccino
and a briefing with the Joint Chiefs of Staff
regarding the conflict in Gaza.
Oh, wow, look at all these big men in their uniforms,
all those shiny medals on their coats.
Then a half hour later, she enjoys some meditation and some Instagram time.
An hour later, she has a meeting with Janet Yellen on the economy,
and she's ready to go in her snazzy new chartreuse pantsuit and matching handbag.
The girl has it going.
Then 10.30, brunch and mimosas.
1 p.m., time for a gay meeting brindley meets with the gay straight
youth drag trans alliance of south carolina we talked about boys and we did each other's nails
there was this one nice bald man wearing red lipstick and who kept trying to steal my stuff
but i guess that's normal didn't know sam britton was in the white house still uh 2 p.m brindley pretends to be biden on
social media on 4 at 4 p.m it's nap time she settles in for the daily scheduled biden night
night time if you're in charge of america you need to rest she said i've got a yummy glass of
warm milk in bed and jill tucked me in with a story and a funny little request to log her into the nuclear system
then they say brindley rounds out her day with a cute little state dinner with the president
of japan and reports having a lot of fun signing half a dozen executive orders i love sitting at
the resolute desk and signing all those documents with all those big words.
I grant absolute immunity from all prosecution for my son, Hunter.
Cute, right?
Well, look, just put a different name in there. Instead of Brindley, the intern, put in Donald Trump or put in Joe Biden or put in Lala Harris.
It's the same thing. It's the same thing.
It's the same thing.
That's what their day looks like.
They're moved from place to place.
They're told what their schedule is.
They get handed a card that says, now you say this and you said here and you do this.
It's all prearranged for them.
So who is running the country?
Well, you know, we do have a president right now.
It's a collective president.
That's why I talk about the Biden collective.
You know, it's like the Biden administration.
There was a Trump collective as well.
And, you know, these people, this is why you shouldn't put your hopes in Washington, because nothing's going to change.
And these people don't have the strength of character or the intelligence
to do anything about it they are just going to go along with it let people hand them the
instructions set up their schedule and part of the schedule is going to be which executive orders
they put out this is why you have somebody like trump who is supposedly the anti-globalist,
and he just does everything that they want.
But again, when you look at Biden,
or you look at Lala Harris,
it makes it very easy for people to understand,
because they can't even communicate or talk.
Biden is joking.
He says, well, I'm looking for a job.
After being forced out of the race.
But he says, the good news is i've got contacts well
uh and this is this is not the babylon b i mean he said this i'm looking for a job but i've got
contacts he's got contacts all over the world you know he can go get a job as a ceo of a company in
ukraine like hunter did when he's got no experience in oil or
anything got a Burisma I'm sure they'd hire him right maybe not maybe they would be hiring him
for his contacts and he doesn't have those contacts or influence anymore so he says what do you think
when I retire what do you think I've got contacts man said the-old, this is not the Babylon Bee. This is Washington, D.C.
And so there was a, you know, we now know that it was Pelosi who was really behind the
putsch to get him out.
And she even talked about it in a radio interview.
I love him so much.
I think he's been really a fantastic president of the United States.
So I really wanted him to make a decision of a better campaign because they were not facing the fact of what was happening.
Just a little background. I've never been that impressed with his political operation.
Biden's operation. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, I just happened to. They won the White House.
Bravo. But so my concern was this ain't happening.
And we have to make a decision for this to happen.
And the president has to make the decision for that to happen.
Let me just say, I won't say necessarily I knew what I was doing at that time.
I knew what I was doing
in the whole thing,
not just that show.
Oh, it wasn't planned.
Donald Trump would never set foot
in the White House again.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know,
of course it wasn't planned
or anything like that.
Yeah, she starts out,
you know,
I just love him.
I love him so much. mark anthony's speech and brutus is an honorable man you know as he's pointing up all
the reasons that he needs to be taken out uh it just happened i i didn't plan it yeah they all
planned it they all planned it and they planned it that's why they had the dates they did for the
uh conventions and for
the debates and all the rest of the stuff it was a very meticulously planned thing there's somebody
who's running the country running the democrat party we don't know who they are but they sure
are clever aren't they democrats are caught hiring actors to pretend they support lala harris and other candidates at rallies you see the republicans
have lost supply trump buys into this tweet saying look it's a ai uh you know faked crowd and
everything well it's a fake crowd all right but it's real people not ai and They're always off, aren't they? This is a story from Wine Press News.
And they've got clips or screenshots of an acting network where you can get jobs.
It's called Casting Networks, a platform that allows producers, writers, media members to cast actors for certain roles.
It also allows them to do Astroroturf crowds if you're a politician.
Real people for Democrat events is the title of this.
It's non-union and it is paid.
And so they're talking about, you know, age range.
Anybody from 13 to 90.
So, you know, Joe Biden could get a job there.
He's got another
nine years he could do hiring himself out as a democrat crowd member you're being cast as a real
person who supports the democrat party i'd have to get my head around that i don't know. The shoot date was the August the 12th, August the 13th.
You know, again, you know, Biden needs to check his calendar.
I'm sure he's not doing anything in the White House.
Maybe he could show up for one of those things.
And it's not just the fake crowds.
Lala Harris has got fake headlines.
They're setting things up, editing news articles and setting up fake headlines with banners as if these are articles from press and a lot of mainstream media.
And so they have a headline that they've modified.
They have a little text excerpt that's right under the headline that they also
wrote but then they use the um they use the um the publication's name in all of this uh harris's
campaign team has been silently editing news headlines and google search results to make it
seem like major news outlets are on her side the altered headlines all
paired paired with a paid for by harris for president banner were changed without the news
outlets whose name they're using knowing about it axios reported on tuesday nearly a dozen publishers
were swept up in the fake headline campaign, including companies like The Guardian, Reuters, CBS News, Associated Prostitutes, and PBS.
And you would say, well, why are they concerned about that?
Well, The Guardian told Axios, while we understand why an organization might wish to align itself with The Guardian's brand, I can't understand it.
What a piece of absolute trash the guardian is we need to ensure that it's being used appropriately
without and with our permission we'll be reaching out to google for more information about this
practice and so what they do is they concoct these fake articles headlines and and then they put them out there with Google to be served as ads.
And then it's got a little disclaimer there that they paid for it, paid for by that campaign.
But people just glance at it and they see that information and they think that it's real. They
think that it is a friendly article to the Harris campaign, which really kind of makes you wonder.
I mean, aren't these publications I just listed, aren't they friendly enough
to the la-la people?
Why do they have to fake it?
I mean, they really fall over backwards trying to flatter them.
The ads include links to real articles from the outlets.
However, the headlines and the supporting text were altered.
You know, maybe one of these organizations that I just listed there,
maybe one of them would want to do an interview with her
and ask her about that practice if they don't like it.
You think?
Nah, they don't need to do interviews with her, said the Associated Press.
We love her.
We don't need to do an interview with her.
That would only hurt. And Peter Doocy says that Lala ditched the press pool on one of her recent trips to avoid having any questions asked of her.
She's not only running scared from many one-on-one interviews.
She's not only running scared from press conferences, but now she's running scared from the White House press pool as well. Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said that Vice President Lala Harris ditched her press pool on a trip to avoid media coverage.
Weeks after receiving the being selected by the Democrats to be the nominee.
She has not talked to anybody given any interviews or press
conferences he said and uh something new tonight he said as the presumptive nominee this is on
tuesday night vp harris is supposed to travel everywhere she goes with a protective press pool
a protective press pool i maybe they're better than the secret service i mean they couldn't be worse right i mean
they're at least in the way of anybody trying to shoot her maybe they could hire some tall
reporters so that they couldn't you know shoot her she goes everywhere with a large group of
meat shields yeah exactly meat shields yeah i a protected press pool well in the case of the democrats the press pool does
protect them the only person that would be a threat to her would be peter ducey or somebody
like that uh they they keep most people away from that would criticize these people keep them away
from that anyway he said we just learned that she left her press pool behind to attend an event at Howard university yesterday,
he said.
And,
um,
so,
uh,
this is happening at the same time that Trump is doing a two hour long live
stream conversation with Musk.
But here's the thing,
his long form conversations and rallies aren't working.
You know,
he's riffing and repeating and rambling on this stuff,
and everybody is really kind of tired of it.
They've seen it all before, and that's the big problem.
Just overexposure.
Been around for a long time, and I certainly don't support Nikki Haley.
I think she's loathsome.
But she is an astute political observer just like
Nancy Pelosi is you know very Machiavellian they know how to do this stuff she said no whoever gets
rid of people hate Biden they're tired of Biden they're tired of Trump they can't stand either
one of them whoever gets rid of whichever party gets rid of one of those two guys is going to win
it could be me or it could be lala she said
she said that back in february well they're also going to cover for them in terms of the economy
and this is one of the things that astounds me i look at both mainstream and alternative
mainstream media you know they say that that's the name that david ike came up with that'd be like brightbart wnd
um you know uh daily caller is not as bad as them but they'll do it as well but typically
the conservative media uh and then of course you know there's uh like the blaze or info wars or
whatever but the when you look at the trump media and the polarization
and the absolute contradiction uh it's it's amazing the mainstream media and drudge will put
out all these articles about how well the economy is doing doing so good and they've conquered
inflation and trump doesn't even talk about the economy anymore.
It's like, is that true?
I don't need to have push polls.
I don't need to have mainstream media.
And I don't need to have Matt Drudge tell me that inflation is raging.
We all know that.
And it's amazing to me that anybody would buy that.
But of course, if they want to buy
into the democrat cult they will just like the manga people have bought into the idea that trump
is not a globalist in spite of what he did in 2020 and even in 2019 with the the vaccine mandates
for measles and the gun control by executive order and on and on i could go on and on
um you know david stockman said he had set up the economy to fail long before any of the pandemic
stuff so people buy into whatever they want but what i'm the reason i bring this up is because
when you look at the mainstream media and drudge, and you look at these so-called conservative media, Trump media, they're selling such radically different views.
Whether it's about the economy and inflation, or whether it's about who is ahead in the polls, who's ahead in the battleground states and everything, they are completely opposite stories that they have it's just
astounding you have a situation for you here's another one not just the economy okay so so drudge
and those people are saying he uh that that issue has been lost now to the republicans
the vast majority of people think the Democrats are doing great with the economy. The economy is wonderful.
Inflation has been licked and on and on.
And yet on Breitbart, you see Kamala-nomics, the worst food inflation in nearly half a century.
Now, I think that is the correct one.
We know what grocery store prices are a recent you gov poll found that
a staggering 77 of americans consider inflation to be a very important issue but um they don't
say who they're blaming it on see that's where these things contradict each other and so you'll
have a situation here Here's another example.
Frank Luntz did an interview and he talked about Trump and he talked about the unions.
And so because of comments that Trump and Musk were making about unions, the UAW leadership is suing, they said.
We'll see what happens with it.
But they got very upset about it and trump made some kind of uh offhand remark about you know you don't like it you're fired
or something like that and so frank luntz said it truly is surprising he said we've never seen a
republican who is this strong with the unions and so that statement is what the trump media picked up and ran with
but then he continued on with the statement and he said uh so why is he why is he destroying his
relationship with him by the comments that he made it's got a lot of them now hopping mad he said
this is trump's election to lose and he's losing it with the comments that he's making
and so the left stream media picks that up and runs with it now in that particular case they're
the ones telling you the truth and the republican media is lying to you in the case of inflation
the left stream media is lying to you and the right stream media is telling you the truth but it is there are two different
worlds two alternate universes how are these things when we have such radically different
stories being put out and both of them are lying to us they'll tell you sometimes they'll tell you
the truth but not the whole truth that type of. When both of them are lying to us and both of them are presenting to us radically different universes,
how are we going to reconcile this with an election?
Well, you're not.
You're going to have people who want to fight each other over it.
That's the essence of what they're building up here is a civil war.
And when we look at the civil war,
let's take a look at what I think is one of the most egregious things.
I wanted to talk about this yesterday, but I ran out of time,
and I'm almost out of time today.
Tim Walls, because Tony's going to be joining us in just about five minutes.
Tim Walls, when he was governor,
told the National Guard to get all suited up in body armor
and walk down the streets
yelling at people to get into their homes.
And if they didn't, if they were even on their porch, their front porch,
these guys are out in the street, light them up and shoot them with paintballs.
Absolutely insane.
Here's the video.
Oh, there's more. Look look at this they just keep coming
get inside get in your house now let's go
go light them up go inside now Get in, get in, get in, get in, get in.
Get in.
Fascist tyrants.
Are you okay?
Right on the crotch.
Are you okay?
You got hit?
I'm good.
Wow.
You're for that, dude.
What?
Okay.
Yeah, how about that?
Isn't that great?
Yeah, vote for that guy.
He's such a friendly uncle type of figure.
Isn't that nice?
He's such a nice guy.
You want to talk about stolen valor?
How about a National Guard that behaves like that?
Have they stolen the valor?
Have they stolen the valor have they stolen the title
and you got tim waltz out there saying well only the national guard and the army and the military
should have these kinds of weapons really when you got a character like that when you got people
like him running the show when you got people like them goons gonna follow the order i was just following orders right the old excuse i was just
following orders i don't have any moral responsibility for what i do when somebody
orders me to do it i do it i'm a robot you want people like that having a monopoly on arms power
comes out of the barrel of a gun and that can sometimes even be a paintball gun but yeah what are you gonna do you
gonna shoot back at those people even you know their helmets and they got body armor and all
the rest of the stuff thugs bullies criminals terrorists that's what they are they're terrorists
this guy's stealing people's businesses threatening and then shooting them in their home
for what what law does he have?
Well, there is no law.
It's medical martial law.
It's martial law.
That's what it looks like, folks.
That's martial law.
That's Minnesota.
You order people to do this and that, and if they don't do it, you shoot them.
Labeling him a tyrant, a description that echoed other people's opinions about walls.
They said so this guy
is not only stolen valor he's a complete nutcase in the video you can see police officers actually
national guard i think walking the streets maybe it's police officers in minneapolis on may 30
2020 screaming at residents and shooting paintballs at anybody who's sitting on their
porch what did they do when they were lighting up the town right you hear these
guys saying light them up light them up well um it was very interesting uh to see that happening
uh and again this is why you don't give a monopoly of firearms to this to these people uh that's the
thing that really bothers me too about the um the gop because they won't push back against that
they'll respond to it and say well he didn't take his gun to war did those people take their guns
to war or did they show that a standing army whether they are police officers national guard
or regular army i don't care uh if they're capable of acting like that, they should be dismissed.
And he is certainly not somebody who is capable of handling the power and not becoming a tyrant.
I talked about someone who had a woman who had a business and how he destroyed it, shut down two bars.
I've got another story here.
I don't have time to do it because Tony is ready to join us.
But another person, a grandmother jailed by Tim Waltz, jailed with a fine
because she violated his orders to lock down, which didn't do anything to help anybody.
There was no pandemic.
And even if there had been a pandemic,
even if there was some kind of contagion going around,
it would not have helped anybody.
It's absolutely amazing to see these types of people.
This is why he was selected, of course,
because they have absolutely no interest in following the Constitution.
We're going to take a quick break,
and we'll have Tony Arteman of Wise Wolf Gold
joining us. We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 liberty it's your move and now the david knight show
back um and joining us now is tony artaban he has wise wolf gold and tony
and i go back a long way and tony has set up david knight dot gold that'll take you to wise wolf a great place to
get yourself some wealth protection uh as i was talking about yesterday people always talk about
the price of gold but he said um but there was an article and and tony has talked about this in the
past as well uh where this um one individual went back and looked at the price of a whole bunch of different things,
from how much does a ski lift ticket cost to how much a beer cost at the Oktoberfest in Munich.
Priced these things in gold.
Then he says, this is the key.
You look at the price in gold of something instead of the price of gold compared to a currency
because it's all over the place with various currencies but again if you want to protect your wealth and store value and if you
want to protect your privacy you can get gold and silver at wise wolf gold you can go david
knight gold i'll take you there and also tony has the wolf pack which allows you to gradually
accumulate you pick the amount that you want to set aside each month,
and you can get a group discount by being part of Wolfpack.
Thank you for joining us, Tony.
It's always good to have you on.
It's good to see you, David.
Thanks for having me.
I'm broadcasting from Los Angeles today.
I'm actually on the road.
Really?
I was out recording.
Yeah, I was supposed to be recording a podcast, so I'm out out here on business and i didn't want to miss the show though and you're
absolutely right uh gold over time uh just keeps its value and a lot of people mistake that and
there is times when it's a great investment if you want to call it that but really what it is
is a store of value gold is actually money and if you look at there's a meme
that's really popular right now it says uh it has 10 ounce gold bars it's like 10 of these would buy
a standard family home in 1920 and it's like it fast forward 100 years 10 of these will buy a
standard home in 2024 and i think that just makes people think like well what's the deal here what
happened well what happened was the separation of value between your currency and the money, which are two different things now.
I mean, they can be the same thing.
But right now, across the world, we have fiat currency.
That's, again, by means by decree.
So this is a fake currency set up by government so they can expand the money supply to pay for their mistakes and their corruption and we the people are left holding the bag and that's why it's something
that i talk about all the time understanding there's been currency and money and that money
has intrinsic value and stores of value yeah and yesterday i talked about how there was an excellent
article from i think it's mises institute talking about the fact that the Federal Reserve doesn't own any gold.
They've got some gold certificates, right, but they don't get it.
And I said, why would they?
Because, you know, as you've said so many times, they're essentially at war with gold.
They're trying to increase the value of the thing that they control.
And so they're unique amongst all of the central banks because they're at war with gold but the
other central banks don't want the the risk of exposure to the dollar as a fiat currency so
that's why they're they're accumulating it even to the extent that the people's bank of china their
central bank had lied and said they stopped buying gold in may. And then they said, but we've got the export tickets that they have to,
when they export it from London, they've got to file these reports.
And so we've got the receipts here for how they were buying significant amounts,
bought 53 tons just from that one source in May.
So it goes on, and there's a lot of deception and lies and concealment with all this stuff but it's pretty clear uh the central
banks understand what's going on they're worried about their exposure to fiat currency i think we
ought to be worried about our exposure to the dollar as well yeah you always look to see what
the elites are doing i don't like that term i need to stop using the term elites look to see what the
parasite bankster class is doing and and then you can see where the
trend is going with their own experience. They don't believe in their own money. They don't hoard their own
cash or own systems. That article from the Mises Institute
did mention something completely ironic, though. The Federal
Reserve and, of course, the United States itself was not buying gold. It's not a net buyer
anymore. It hasn't been for decades, since the 1950s. It's really before the end of World War II.
And the reason that they can't is because they are at war with gold, especially since
Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971. The Federal Reserve is at war
with gold because if it buys gold gold it increases the value of gold by
by eating up the supply so when that when the gold price goes up you see the dollar is weakened so
they're in quite a predicament uh imagine the irony and the article also mentioned that the
federal reserve buys debt it buys the u.s treasuries and so it's not if you look at the
other central banks around the world
they are buying gold and the reason they are they don't believe in their own systems and they
certainly see that a well to quote jamie demon an economic super storm is coming and i think that
has to do with the amount of of debt worldwide and the loss of purchasing power and currencies
and the the increase in the um the currency supply and the money supply but there
was an article out today that the global debt has surpassed 350 trillion which is basically almost
all if you look at some estimates think that say that there's like 400 450 trillion in actual
assets and value across the world some some estimates are like a total of a quadrillion i don't know
but i think a lot of that is fake and so if you if you look at i think we're just a wash in debt
there's just no way that if you look you look at all these uh and this is something that michael
saylor put up on the board when he's doing his presentation at the bitcoin conference in
nashville selling all of the different categories of where wealth is is held
and and around the world whether it's stocks or bonds or sovereign wealth funds or treasuries
and it's hundreds of trillions i'm really wondering and of course gold and bitcoin
we're up this tiny little corner up in the top left hand side of the chart and so i i'm starting
to think that so much of it even the markets fake, and we really are headed for a chaotic revaluation, David.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
10% of that is just the U.S. government alone.
And then, of course, you've got the U.S. businesses and consumers and so forth.
It is, I guess maybe, you know, they can talk to Larry Fink and maybe he can save us all with some derivatives and we can keep kicking the can down the road indefinitely.
But I don't think that's going to happen as people you mentioned bitcoin and of course you're talking
about setting up bitcoin atm i thought this was interesting the fact that uh we talk about power
usage uh and this came from coin telegraph they said ai may already be using more power than Bitcoin. And it is actually a threat to Bitcoin money
because they are going to be bidding for power
and because they can make more money per kilowatt
that they use, AI can,
with the services that it charges for,
they can make more money than the Bitcoin people can use,
can make using electricity for mining.
It's a bigger issue for all of us
really because when you look at the how incredibly massive artificial intelligence is in terms of
it's being power hungry it's going to make electricity unaffordable for us and just talking
about how they got a record auction in the area around maryland because again they want to put AI close to the people who are going to be using it.
That's our government for the most part.
And so a big auction there.
And even though they had an incredible 700% increase in price,
they still didn't have enough electricity to go around.
And so what does that say, not just for Bitcoin mining,
but what does it say for us?
But it truly is amazing to see this considering the fact that it was just march of 2022 that um the biden administration was attacking bitcoin and all crypto saying that the um the mining process
was using too much electricity they just look the other way don't they when it comes to something that's going to be used for propaganda surveillance and biometric identification
they don't care what it costs well that's what i've always said i always thought that was a
ruse they attacked bitcoin for energy uses or cryptocurrency in general for energy usage
but they wouldn't attack something else like ai. And let's be rational about the whole
argument. You look at the amount of energy usage that just regular banks use, just add up all the
branch locations, the offices, and it dwarfs Bitcoin by leaps and bounds. So it really is
just a false metric to use, like how much energy is used on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
And you're right.
I mean, something like AI, which is going to be approved by the establishment or the ruling class, will never, ever be talked about.
So this is all fake.
I mean, the power uses, I think, to add up, isn't it like, and I've read this before, I could be wrong. I think all of the Bitcoin mining all over the world equals somewhere around the usage of the country of Poland, I think.
Like everything, if you add all of it up, and maybe not even that.
But if you add up all the actual banks and businesses associated with the banking industry, it's like 10 times that.
So I don't think that's an actual valid argument on
the energy usage yeah it's uh especially when you look at artificial intelligence they were saying
that it reached a rough parity last year they believe they said it's a little bit hard to
measure the ai stuff because uh it's also used for other things but they said if you calculate out as mit did how much energy it uses for
ai to generate an image is as much as fully charging your smartphone so that's pretty
each one of the images that it generates it's like charging a smartphone it's very intent
energy intensive and they said in terms of terawatt hours that they expect in 2024 it's going to use 169 terawatt hours
whereas bitcoin mining is using 125 so it's already significantly more they think by 2027
it'll be 50 percent more be 240 terawatt hours versus 160 terawatt hours for mining so it is amazing and you know
when i look at it it's not just about bitcoin and its viability because they said there's this
competition between them they're going to be able to pay more for it but i thought well what about
us you know what's it going to take to turn on the lights and have air conditioning if the bitcoin
miners can't make a profit off of this stuff that is equivalent to the AI,
if the AI has got so much power requirement and it's making so much money that it really doesn't care.
And these people have deep pockets.
They're going to do it, whatever.
They're tied with the government.
They're going to do it with whatever.
What does that say for the power rates for the rest of us and what that's going to do to inflation?
I mean, it's just incredible to look at the near-term effects of all this stuff isn't it well absolutely and
they're doing nothing to support the grid as thomas massey pointed out uh interviewing pete
but a judge he says uh adding an electric car to a house is like 25 refrigerators yeah as you've
covered before yeah and so every house is going to add 20 how where's the grid that you're building to support
that the answer is they're not they're not building a grid to support any of this
yeah i'm in california right now that's right the ai people are going to build their own grid
and you're talking about being 25 refrigerators and that type of thing to to charge your car
they're saying that the ai
uses 17 to 25 times more electricity than the bitcoin miners do and they were trying to make
that a selling point to ban crypto uh not you know less than about well two years ago it's amazing
it's about the time that elon musk came out and said he wasn't gonna he was dumping his bitcoin
holdings and not going to use Bitcoin because of the energy usage.
That was swirling around Bitcoin around that time.
Now that narrative is, well, it's reshifted,
and I think they'll bring it back up
and try to hide the fact that AI is now draining the grid
more than crypto.
Yeah, yeah.
But the reason that Cointelegraph was using it
was because they said, well, it's a real threat.
Nobody talks about how are we going to live when they take.
You'll own nothing.
And by the way, you'll have no electricity either.
That's going to be the future there because they're going to be pouring it all into AI and these other things.
You're not going to be able to afford it uh they they may go in and um set up their own
personal private nuclear power plants but you're not going to be able to tap into that most likely
they said they don't even have um they're always 100 uptime whereas with bitcoin they said the one
advantage that bitcoin has on the grid is that it's uh they they can essentially slow it down
or turn it off depending on the the
grid and so they can take advantage of lower power rates and discounts if they're using it
off peak hours but with ai it's always on peak it's always doing this stuff so that's one of
the reasons why they're looking at these other things but yeah when we look at the future
that is the key thing it's not you know this is the reason i bring this up is because
it is both inflation uh that is going to be happening to us and it is also uh the move
towards uh central bank uh digital currencies and surveillance and all the rest of stuff because i
think that really is the killer app of ai i think that's's why it was designed by the government. Let me ask you this, because a lot
of people, and I got a very lengthy article that I haven't gone through all of it yet from a listener
talking about, yet again, we've heard this in the past, that the government is behind, you know,
we have this Satoshi guy, supposedly, we don't know who he is but they said well we think it's the government that did that and we think that they're using this to uh as
kind of a gateway into central bank digital currency that's always been my concern that and
the fact that it's not really anonymous um and uh so you know a lot of people brought this up for a
very long time i think catherine austin Austin Fitz talked about it six years ago.
But what's your take on that?
There was an article out recently.
Someone's done a FOIA request to both the FBI and the CIA to find out what they know about Satoshi Nakamoto.
Who was it?
Was it a group of people?
Was it an individual?
Look, I've been studying this for years, going back to 2016 when i wanted to get into the the bitcoin space and i've read books on it
i've looked at read articles i've researched over time i do not know however those who believe that
it's uh some kind of ruse created by the central intelligence agency to get people sucked into a new CBDC grid.
I think that if that was the case, then they failed miserably.
Because what it has done is it's taken a younger generation of people and turned them on to
arguments against fiat currency and central planning and central banking.
It's created an entire subculture of younger people that uh no longer are going to be look at this the world the
way that the educational system would like them to look at the world you know like the rockefeller
educational system of obedient workers i think there's a lot of the the shift in consciousness
from this last generation of looking at bitcoins one of the reasons that and i've talked about this before that the pentagon ran a war simulation three years ago or four years ago uh for in the scenario of a
gen z bitcoin revolt where gen z stops using the dollar on purpose as a protest because of inflation
or or you know loss of purchasing power or not being uh having the perception of not being able
to to afford the same things as their parents and grandparents did.
And again, that was a war game.
So they know that there's something with that.
If you look at the consequences of introducing it, then it certainly blew up in their face.
I don't know.
Nobody knows the answer.
I'm certainly not an evangelist for Bitcoin per se.
But what I do think that is the idea of it is what's the most powerful thing.
It's like Victor Hugo said, the one thing more powerful than all the armies on the earth is an idea whose time has come.
Well, perhaps Bitcoin is just an idea whose time has come.
And the reason that, first and foremost, you know, I'm a precious metals guy.
I like gold. I want to hold it in my hand.
Gold and silver do something that Bitcoin can never do.
And that's existing in the third dimension.
They exist in the material world.
Now, you can argue Robert Kiyosaki calls gold and silver God's money because it's put here by God.
It's going to be here long after we're gone.
It's going to survive that.
And it's an element in the earth. And it's finite's finite you know you can only get so much gold or silver but you can
we don't know how much gold and silver there actually is geologically that could be and
there's in you know in outer space supposedly there's like asteroids with gold so we don't
know it's it's it's more than what you know what we've already mined yeah um but bitcoin's finite
so it's a really interesting system.
And I think it teaches people,
okay, well, this is what money should look like.
It should be scarce, right?
It should be divisible.
It should be easily transferable.
And again, it should hold a store of value.
You shouldn't be able to take,
like we do now with modern governments,
and they just inflate their way out of an issue,
which destroys the middle class. It destroys people on fixed income. take like we do now with modern governments and they just inflate their way out of an issue which
destroys uh the middle class it destroys people on fixed income it destroys those who are can't
get upward mobility fast enough to outpace inflation we've seen that our own that's
what our society is coming apart um you know with policies such as that, and then of course, free trade and other things. But I really do believe that Bitcoin is a force for good at this point.
And the jury is still out again. I don't, we don't know who the founder is.
And I always add on my show, whenever I talk about this thing,
we're an alternative media. We look at the world a little bit differently,
a lot differently than,
than the normal person or somebody who consumes mass media.
But I do think we can get caught up in the fact that we don't have any wins.
Sometimes we have a win.
Sometimes this could be an anonymous cryptographer.
It could have been somebody whose passion this was.
That would be the only way that Bitcoin could exist the way it is,
is the way it was adopted, the way it was into put into motion that's my opinion david uh you know you look at uh the the decentralization of it that
it's not owned by a company it's not owned by a country every other crypto tracks back to someone
um that's just the way it is it tracks back to a to a group of investors it tracks back to a person
um bitcoin does not and i think that's the only way
you could truly have something that's revolutionary and whoever whatever satoshi nakamoto was
understood that yeah i i kind of look at it like i look at the internet you know um the internet
uh was an idea from a darpa psychologist in the 1960s and then as i said many times as it started
to get practical they started all these venture capital firms, went public with it, social media firms and things like that.
And that was a way that they started to get ownership of this thing that was out there.
But there's this constant back and forth that is happening.
So we went through a period of extreme free speech and all the rest of the stuff.
And it looked like their plans had backfired on them.
But then they start to pull it in using these same companies that they had backed and put
into operation to compete against each other.
But now there's a pushback against that.
You know, I talked yesterday.
There was an extensive article on Reason talking about a new platform called Noster.
And Noster will, you know, if people want to use that for free speech,
they've got complete control over it, anonymity at the moment, apparently.
But it also, you can exchange and pay people using Bitcoin.
So it kind of ties into that Bitcoin thing.
And who knows, you know, maybe Noster was something
that had some of the same developers uh from bitcoin
but um a lot of these things are open source and you can look at them and uh regardless of what
happens with it's going to be this constant back and forth uh the price of liberty is eternal
vigilance and so if there's something that is put together out there by darpa or by the cia
people might be able to take that and use it.
And then there's going to once they put that out there, it's going to be a struggle from the people versus the government and DARPA as to who's going to be able to use this to their advantage.
And that's going to constantly ebb and flow in different directions.
I think the same thing may be the case with Bitcoin. If they try to use it, there's been a lot of talk about Ethereum being the backbone of a CBDC
and how they could rapidly bring that in, I think, more easily than they could Bitcoin.
So I kind of think that they would do it with Ethereum.
But there's going to be this constant back and forth with Bitcoin.
And I think also certainly with the Internet, maybe Noster
is going to be something people can use.
But if it's not, there'll be something else that'll be out there that people will try
to use their system to enhance liberty while they're trying to use it to enhance tyranny.
It's always going to be that back and forth, just like there's a back and forth over the
government all the time.
Government could be used to increase our liberty, or it could be used in a tyrannical way,
and there's always a struggle going back and forth about how it's going to be used.
Well, that's exactly right.
And the whole point of all of this is that the system set up by governments,
especially this government and our central bank, is going to be ultimately a failed experiment.
We can see it
happening in real time. I mean, especially accelerated over the last five years, you have
a currency system that is dying. You have a worldwide reserve currency system that's dying.
The petrodollar is going away. So we're losing purchasing power in our dollar while we're
expanding the liabilities of the United States, putting us on a war footing, continuing to massive foreign aid, we're importing people from all over the world, crushing the safety net and the welfare system and all that.
So the welfare warfare state continues to explode.
Spending and liabilities go up.
So we print and print and print more money or more currency.
And that devalues it.
So that ultimately, I think people are starting to catch on. This isn't, you know, this isn't the, you know, generations past. And we had the inflation
in the 1970s, the inflation shock and all that. But we're not going to be able to bail ourselves
out of this one. It's, you know, again, the United States was a trillion dollars in debt in 1980.
It's $35 trillion today. As you pointed out earlier, it's about 10% of the global debt is here in the U.S.
And that debt is only accelerating.
It takes a trillion dollars a year just to service the interest on the debt.
We go a trillion dollars in debt every 90 to 100 days.
These are facts and figures.
So there's cropped up because of things like, and really this bitcoin was in a response um to the 2008 2009
uh bank bailout too big to fail too big to jail era you know where they had the mortgage crisis
and the subprime meltdown and all that the great recession if you want to call it that um that was
a response to that and this is you know they had occupy wall street and all those other things those
are not that was another response but this is just throughout the, you had Occupy Wall Street and all those other things. That was another response.
But this is just throughout the years since then, you've just seen an outcropping of more and more people getting into the space,
whether it's crypto or whether it's even precious metals.
I think there's a lot of entrepreneurs that are understanding this.
And I've watched my business change, David. It's changed rapidly over the last five years. It is really a complete
transformation. I've seen more and more people starting to understand what this is all about.
I think it's positive that there's a change in thinking going on. And I really do. I think
there's a lot of positive out of that because we're catching, if you're paying attention now and you're starting to see how this all works, you're catching
some things early and you can do something about it. You don't want to be left
holding the bag when the dollar really slips
into, you know, I don't want to use the term hyperinflation.
I'm not sure that we'll see that like that, but we'll definitely see a devaluation
that'll be more rapid than what we've experienced over the last 10 or 20 years.
Oh, I agree.
I agree.
There was an interesting report from Credit News about an August 8th press conference that Trump had at Mar-a-Lago where he said he thought that the president ought to be able to have a say in the interest rates that are done by the Federal Reserve.
He ought to be in on all of that.
And I thought, that is just, I laughed out loud when I saw it,
because I thought, how typical that we would say,
look at a system that is as corrupt as the Federal Reserve,
as unconstitutional and illegal as the Federal Reserve really is,
and it's not illegal, I mean, they passed the Federal Reserve Act, but it as unconstitutional and illegal as the Federal Reserve really is, and it's not illegal.
I mean, they passed the Federal Reserve Act, but it is unconstitutional.
But to look at that and to say, I want a seat at the table,
rather than saying, I want to reform this.
I mean, do we really?
He makes the case, he says, well, I'm a very successful businessman,
and I probably know more than these people at the Federal Reserve,
so I should be having a say-so as to the interest rates and how we manipulate things like that.
After he's manipulated us with trillions of dollars worth of debt and the lockdowns and all the rest of the stuff,
he wants to take control of the Federal Reserve.
And this is the way that it is, and it's why I want to get completely out of the system.
You know, I just want to.
That's why I like the gold and silver.
It's outside of the system.
And they it's not.
Of course, you know, they can they can break in and steal stuff and or steal from wherever you got it.
If you got it with a, you know, a um at another institution or something they can steal
it there they can steal it anywhere but it's less uh of a profile than it is if it's a crypto thing
it's less and certainly when you've got your money in a dollar they're constantly stealing
it all the time by their devaluation are they it's amazing absolutely and um you know the federal reserve is to uh economics what
the warren commission was to justice okay that's the their charter was to ensure that the money
supply was stable that prices were stable uh that's whether that's the that's the ruse that's
what they came in that you know they engineered the crash in 1907 by 1910 um november 22nd they were in
jekyll island planning the federal reserve and as you pointed out many times you know going into
christmas christmas eve 1913 they just passed that federal reserve back and put it is it is uh
unconstitutional unfortunately uh no one's ever successfully challenged that i mean they never
they never over over wrote the constitution to
put in the federal reserve they just put it through and uh kind of you know because if you
look at the constitution the united the united states congresses can only coin money right has
the only congress can coin money and it has to be gold and silver species so that that's something
that isn't done anymore and if you going back to that article you mentioned but from the mrs
institute there's
some interesting back and forth between the u.s treasury and the federal reserve in the 1934 gold
act where the fed had to hand over their gold and then this treasury issued certificates i don't
know if that will be something that comes to fruition in the future because i think if you
looked at you know janet yellen was head of the Fed. Now she's head of the Treasury. I think we'll see more and more of this.
I don't know that they're two separate entities, really,
because I think that if you read the creature from Jekyll Island,
you see this is an international banking consortium cartel that really runs the –
it's not that the U.S. government wags the Federal Reserve dog, right?
It's the other way around.
But I'm
interested to see because a lot of my research showed that the, and you can read this in the
book, The Killing of Uncle Sam, which is some Rodney Brown put out. It's really some great
research on what happened to the gold after 1933 when Franklin Roosevelt did that executive order
for you to turn it in. A lot of it went to Basel, Switzerland, at the Bank of International Settlements,
if not a great majority of it.
That's an interesting article that came out.
And, you know, I think moving forward, I think there'll be,
just like you mentioned, David,
I think there'll be less and less of a separation of Fed and state.
Yeah, that's right.
That's what we should have is a separation of fed and state
cut them off and we've done it in the past i you know last week i talked about an article that said
we've ended the federal bank uh several times as an american traditionalist do it again
uh but you know people used to be people look at you funny if you talked about ending the fed
ending the income tax and things like that but you know now that is there so it's at least a possibility in people's minds uh if not in the politicians minds uh tell us what what's coming up
now you're in la uh are you going to have your broadcast immediately following this one today or
what's up with that unfortunately no i think i just have bandwidth here to get to i want to make
sure i didn't miss your show but i probably will will run a uh run a best of today just for for scheduling and bandwidth i'm running off my
extra my cell phone right now because the hotel wi-fi wasn't that great um but no so yeah definitely
a show next week and we'll be on a regular schedule after that but i i never i never want
to miss our interviews well i appreciate that and it's always great to have you on uh again tony artaban wise wolf gold you can get to tony with uh david knight gold to help you get
there get gold small or large quantities and you can also start to accumulate it on a regular basis
that is something that people in america just don't think about saving anymore but that is a
great thing to do and if you're
going to save don't save in dollars saving something that's going to retain its value
like gold and silver thank you so much tony it's always great talking to you
before before i leave david if it's okay i wanted there was something i forgot to mention the
the the mainstream put out an article i thought was very useful. There's a scam happening right now where people are getting, especially seniors, getting calls from someone posing as a treasury agent saying you need to put your savings into gold.
It's for safekeeping.
And they have that same people go and buy the gold, and then they have a treasury agent come pick it up.
That's not a treasury agent.
These are gold scammers.
I'm going to talk to my staff. I talked
to one of my friends in Rockwall, Texas, who's a gold dealer friend of mine. He had the same thing.
He actually was able to stop one of them. But I saw it reminded me again today, I was doing some
research for for talk. And that came out on Fox News. That's happening all over the country. So
the US government's never going to tell you to buy gold number one okay
so that's a red flag they never want you to own gold they don't want you buying it uh they try to
they they would want you to put your savings in fiat currency so that's a that's a red flag right
there but yeah if you have any questions or something happened like that just give me a
call at wise wolf and happy to to put you in the right. Yeah, they're not a treasury agent. They're a treasure agent.
They're a treasure hunter trying to pick on people.
It really is amazing.
But it also does tell us that there's so much more public awareness of gold right now,
and that's for a reason.
So thank you so much, Tony.
Always great talking to you again.
David Knight.Gold will take you to Tony at Wise Wolf.
Thank you for joining us, Tony.
Have a good day.
Thanks, sir. Hope things go well for you there in L.A.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with Eric Peterson.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ORCHESTRA PLAYS ¶¶ Defending the American Dream.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
And welcome back.
And joining us now is Eric Peters.
Always love talking to Eric.
We share a love of cars and a love of liberty
and that covers a wide range of topics ericpeters.com is where you'll find a lot of very
interesting articles about cars and i'm interested very interested in a couple of things that you've
got here the anodyne exotic i want to get into that. But before I do, what is breaking on your mind?
Because I picked up some of the articles.
It's been, I guess, three or four weeks since we've talked.
And so there's a wealth of things that have happened in the automotive industry.
But what is at the forefront of your mind right now?
Thanks for joining us.
I've been ruminating lately a lot about making do with, again, the things that we used to make do with.
You know, if you're a Gen X person or older, you'll remember a time when it was feasible for even a high school kid to buy a car using their own money rather than having their parents buy a car for them.
Because there was a time when you could still buy basic new cars, which made them affordable.
You could buy a car with or without things like air conditioning,
power windows, locks, automatic transmissions, and I'm by no means disparaging any of that.
Those things are all very nice, particularly once you get a little older and you like the idea of
having an air conditioning system that you can turn on to keep you cool. But hey, when you're
17 or 18, it's kind of nice to be able to go out and buy a $700 lobby that lets you get from A to
B. And it's one of the reasons why,
you know, when we were that age, we became functional adults a lot sooner than the kids
today because cars, they've been priced out of cars largely. And part of the reason for that
is what I like to call this riptide effect of being comfortable with extravagant debt.
You know, people now think nothing of signing up for a fifty thousand or
sixty thousand dollar indenture that's what you know for a car for the next six years you're going
to be paying five six hundred dollars a month for it because they all have these things that are now
standard that used to be considered luxurious you know there used to be a thing we'll remember you
and i can remember called an economy car remember economy cars oh yeah oh yeah it was a car was a pinto you want to talk about an economy
car had rubber mats it didn't have air conditioning it didn't have power windows it was uh it was
pretty bare bone i tell you what we were living in in florida if you don't have air conditioning
in florida you're thinking about it all the time sure and now to be clear i am in no way disparaging
uh the comforts and amenities that new cars have.
My point is that now that they all have that, they become extravagantly expensive and there's no downward price pressure.
Back in the day when you had the option to pick, say, a luxury car or luxury features, which was what they were considered once, like air conditioning and power windows and automatic transmission it kept prices in check because you
always had that option if you wanted to buy the higher end more expensive car you could
but you know on the other side of the lot there was the more inexpensive car i remember just after
we got out of college uh one of my best friends he just lives down the road from me he wanted to
start a roofing business and so he bought a brand new 89 ford-150 pickup. Now, it just had the straight six engine, manual transmission, manual four-wheel drive, and that was it.
No air conditioning, no power windows, nothing.
And he could afford to do that.
You know, as a kid, just out of college, just start his business.
Today, the least expensive half-ton truck that you can buy is pushing $40,000.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, how many kids just out of college can afford something like that thousand dollars yeah yeah i mean how many how many kids
just out of college can afford something like that yeah yeah that's right yeah it used to be
you know again it was a real unusual thing to have power windows uh my dad would get cadillacs he
would usually wait until they were like two or three years old so all the depreciation was gone
but but he had he would have uh power windows and it's like wow look this has got electric windows
all the rest of the cars i guess the i had for about 10 years' worth of cars before I ever had one that had power windows on it.
They were all crank, and it was not really a problem with the Spitfire like we got behind me right here.
The Spitfire, while I was sitting there in the driver's seat, I could reach.
The car was so small, I could reach across, and I could roll the passenger window up and down while I was sitting there in the driver's seat, I could reach, the car was so small, I could reach across and I could roll the passenger window up and down while I was driving. Manually, I could roll it up
and down. Well, I think we're reaching a kind of event horizon now. You know, this was sustainable
as long as debt was viable. But I think we're getting to the point now where people can't
continue to assume the levels of debt necessary to maintain this Potemkin village facade of affluence and prosperity.
It's just ridiculous, self-evidently.
What's the average family income in this country?
Something like $60,000, something like that.
And the average price paid for a new vehicle as of last year approached $50,000.
It's ludicrous.
You can't keep doing that. So I don't know that it's necessarily such
a bad thing in a way that perhaps Americans who've gotten used to living beyond their means
are kind of nudged in a way to go back to living within their means. It's not necessarily a bad
life lesson. The more you live within your means, the less you're at the mercy of these corporations
and of the government.
You know, back during the pandemic, one of the great things that I had going for me was that I'm
not only self-employed, but I don't have debt. So I didn't have a corporate overlord telling me that
I had to mask up, you know, and threatening me with loss of employment if I didn't roll up my
sleeve to get jabbed. You know, I had the financial wherewithal if i had to to ride it out
you know and that's a really really comforting thing you know to know that you don't have to
put up with really abusive kinds of situations at work because in the back of your mind you're
thinking well if i don't if i don't bow my knee bend my knee to this uh i'm i'm gonna not be able
to take care of my family i'm not gonna be able to pay my mortgage i'm not gonna be able to put
food on the table it's an enormous pressure that's been applied.
And people, it's very subtle. People have bought into this now, you know, for at least the last
generation or two, it's been, it's been normalized to live paycheck to paycheck, to have no savings
and thus to be completely at the mercy of these big corporations and the government too.
Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday I interviewed a couple of doctors, a married couple, and they were both MDs,
physicians in New Zealand.
They did clinical trials and stuff like that.
But he had gotten out even before the COVID stuff.
And I said, so, you know, when the interview was over, I talked to him.
I said, so what are you doing now?
You know, both of you were doctors and you've had to get out of your position because of your principles
and because you were fighting this stuff on the basis of real science and things like that.
And they said, well, we've got some farmland, and we're homeschooling our kids, and we're raising food, and we're self-sufficient.
It's just like what you're talking about.
They said, we've never been happier because we don't have to work for a corporation.
And they're not working in New Zealand.
They would be working for the government as part of being a doctor and that type of thing.
But they're now independent and self-sufficient, and they've got neighbors.
I mean, they're living the life that we all aspire to, I think.
And it's worked out for them. That really needs, you know, we need to have our goals and our aspirations, I think, adjusted
in this country.
They've been telling us for the longest time that both husband and wife need to be working
for the man and we've got to have these careers.
And that's the only way that we're going to have any real self-respect or respect from
other people.
And that simply isn't true.
But they put that onus on us that, oh, you need to have a job,
you need to have a title, or you're nothing.
And that really isn't true.
You know, we need to completely rethink these lies that they're telling us
about how we evaluate ourselves, how we evaluate our life,
what our goal in life is.
That is what really needs to be rethought.
We need to start with the Reformation with ourselves.
And that's a big part of it, think i think so too and i think it's politically poisonous particularly with regard to the younger crowd you know the generation that's coming up now
that's in their 20s that feels despair hopelessness and anger when they look at the stats that you
know an average house now costs the average price for a house is four
hundred thousand dollars now and they can't afford a car they can't afford a house and they feel like
they're going to be living in their parents house until they're 40 you know if they ever get out of
their parents house and that is fertile ground for this marxism that's been percolating upward
everywhere where they promise people oh just like lenin did uh land and food you know we'll take
care of you.
Don't worry, the oppressors, when in fact, the whole reason for the problem has to do with exactly
the machinations of these machinators. The people who are responsible for it, you know,
are the ones who are offering the solution. It's just, it's absolutely tragic because these kids,
they don't know. You and I grew up in a different world. You know, people who are under 40 don't really know the world that existed before then.
And, you know, I don't know.
It's our job to somehow try to convey the reality of what was to them so that they can
see what could be in the future.
That's right.
Yeah, I think a lot of them are seeing that, you know, the university situation is a Potemkin
village for the most part.
You know, it can help you to get a job, but, you, but you're still going to be in that corporate world of control.
I think a lot of them saw
how that control worked out four years ago
and don't necessarily want to put themselves
in that trap, into a debt trap
in order to get that degree
and a lot of other things like that.
So yeah, I think you really do need
to adjust what you aspire to,
what you think is,
whether or not you care about what other people think
or whether you're going to pursue your own goals.
I think that's really the key thing.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You know, you've got an interesting article.
I said this is the first one I want to talk to you about, the anodyne exotic.
And I'll tell you, as somebody who owns a little tiny car that doesn't have a whole lot of horsepower, but I love to drive it.
That really hit home.
The anodyne exotic.
Years ago, Rowan Atkinson, who's Mr. Bean, and he's very successful, of course.
He got a lot of money as a movie star.
He talked about how he's got hyper cars and everything, million-dollar cars.
He said, you don't really so much drive them as you manage them.
That's a pretty good description of these things,
and I think that's really what you're talking about with the Anodyne Exotic.
I mean, what good is it to continue?
And this is what the other publications want to appreciate about what you do
at your website, ericpetersautos.com,
is that all the other sites what they do is they compare all these meaningless statistics about zero to 60 and all of the other metrics that
they've come up with in the in the past few years skid pad numbers or whatever and and it's it
really is meaningless to the experience and you focus more on the real experience of it, as well as the things that they're putting in the cars that are going to make them unaffordable and are going to basically spy on us.
And so I think, you know, when you talk about the Anodyne Exotic, that really does fall into that category.
That, you know, there's a lot of stuff that they've loaded this up with that is really unnecessary,
and you take it back to the real experience. Yeah, well, cars have become quite one-dimensional.
A good way to understand this is if you're a fan of stock car racing, all of the cars have to fit
within a template, a literal template. They have a template that they affix over the body of the
vehicle so that it conforms to whatever the standards are and a similar thing is applied
to new vehicle design with regard to the government regulations so you get these vehicles that all
look pretty much the same so there isn't a lot of personality there's not a lot of difference in
terms of anything meaningful emotionally the intangible stuff you know that makes a car
interesting like you can think about the the fins of the late 50s cadillac or chrysler you know just
the look of that that was just wow look at, look at that. Somebody came up with that. That's just incredible. So now we focus on the one thing that they're
still allowed some latitude with, and that's horsepower and how quickly the thing can get to
60. And the problem with that is that, you know, once you get beyond that, it's very ephemeral.
You know, this car that I focused on in the article is the 1000 something horsepower version
of the Corvette that's going to be coming out next year. And okay, great. So for a few months, it's going to be, I guess, a short of a Bugatti,
the most powerful new high performance car that you can get. Well, you know, somebody else is
going to make one with 1200 horsepower, and then there'll be 1500. And once that happens,
it's kind of like owning a six month old iPod, or iPad, you know, it's like, oh, wow, when you get
it, it's the latest, coolest thing.
But after a couple of months, it's just not anymore. It's old.
And then because it doesn't have anything else about it that's particularly appealing
that connects with you on an emotional level, it's just a throwaway.
And it's sad.
You know, all you have to do is go look.
And I put some pictures with the article and look at earlier Corvettes.
And there's just, you don't even have to drive the thing.
You don't even have to be physically in its presence.
Just look at the picture of the thing.
Oh, I know.
Yeah.
When I was a kid looking at those things, I didn't really care about the zero to 60
and from 60 to zero numbers, you know, the, uh, with the Corvette, I just looked at it.
It's like, wow, that is just amazing.
And you know, the, the Stingray, uh, uh, Corvette was, was my favorite one.
Uh, and it was a small car, you know, but both as a convertible and also as a fastback, they
were just amazing to look at.
Yeah, absolutely gorgeous.
There's an analogy here that occurs to me, too.
I'm an aviation fan.
And if you look at older airplanes, there was a lot of difference between one airplane
and another military aviation, in particular fighter jets.
Now they all look the same.
They all have that same insect look.
And the reason they have that insect look is because it is dictated by the function.
You know, they're trying to maximize the performance of the aircraft within a certain envelope.
And the same is true with regard to these exotics.
That's why the new Corvette looks like the new Lamborghini, which looks like the new Ferrari,
which looks like the new whatever exotics.
They all have that same, you know, that same sort of angular insectoid look.
And motorcycles is another one.
I have motorcycles.
I love motorcycles.
Now, you know how you tell the difference between a Honda and a Kawasaki and a Suzuki?
How's that?
By the color of the plastic.
Hondas are red.
Kawasaki's are green.
Suzuki's are blue.
Yamaha's are yellow.
But, you know, I'm talking about hyper bikes here, sport bikes, which is the analysis of supercars.
Because, you know, the sole objective is to see how quickly this thing can go through the quarter mile and how fast it can go on the top end.
And that sort of winnows down and dictates what type of shape you're going to have.
So that's why they all look the same irrespective of the brand well at least they're doing them in different colors because most of the cars are either you
know black white a shade of gray or red you know and it's very rare that you see a car that's
different color i was driving with karen the other day she said look at that car's color this is it's
not a black or white car and i forgot what it was i don't like it but it's it's interesting that
they have a different color you know this was inadvertent because you know i've kind of thought
about that off and on peripherally for actually a number of years why are these cars all pretty
much all the same color you see lots of silver white you know this is these sort of generic
milk box kind of kind of colors and i got to looking at some of the um the stats of one of
the vehicles that i was reviewing and i and, my God, they charge you extra for most of the other colors,
and not just a little bit either.
I think it was a Mini.
I was driving a Mini Clubman a few weeks back.
And if you wanted anything but one or two colors, you had to pay $800 extra for it.
When you look at what they're doing with it i i saw an article i forget which one there's
probably several of them that are doing it now um you know different functions on the cars i think
it was um it was audi or mercedes maybe bmw it's a german car and uh you know if you want uh this
function that i would take for granted uh you've got to pay uh an annual subscription rate
to it you know and they're doing that now they're they're taking these these different functions of
the car and making them uh a subscription it's crazy sure yeah it's the netflix model at least
when you pay 800 bucks for the different colored paint you actually own the paint i guess but
you're right no it's bmw that you're thinking about. And it was Tesla that started this, of course.
Oh, yeah.
Tesla was the one that came up with this idea of requiring you to subscribe to the features.
The features are all built into the car, but they're only activated if you pay the fee.
Now, people discovered this because they would sell the car.
So the second owner of the Tesla, and he looks at the window sticker, and it says it comes with whatever the feature is i think it was in particular their uh their self-driving
feature so it looks like okay the guy ordered this with the self-driving feature great that's what i
want i'll be happy to buy this car they buy the car and they find out that it doesn't work and
it's not because of a mechanical problem or an electrical problem it's because they haven't paid
their subscription so they have to get in touch with tes to pay. And BMW is doing the same thing now.
They build the seat heaters into all the cars.
All the cars have the physical stuff that makes the seat heater work.
But if you want it to actually work, when you push the button, you have to pay a monthly fee.
That is the chintziest thing I've ever seen.
I couldn't remember what feature it was, but that's why.
It's a seat heater.
Of all things, you've got to pay them to get the seat heater to work i went when karen and i uh got married we didn't have much money
but we had some time and so we went to england for about two and a half months and we had no time
and so we were yeah we were starving we couldn't afford to even eat you know but we stayed in this
one little beat-up place uh this mini flatlet that was on the outskirts of one and it took
like a almost an hour to get in and they had uh for the lights you had to put in a coins you know
there were like a quarter you know and so the heater was like it was like a thousand watt little
squirrel cage motor like something you'd use for a hair dryer and i mean it was cold it was january
and then you would for the lights and for the tv and for the heater you would have to put coins in this
thing and it would give you a certain amount of time i mean that's and i thought that was the
strangest thing but that's i think the seat heater that you got to get with a subscription is even
chintzier and and stranger when you consider the price of a bmw i mean it's crazy you remember the
like if you went to a shady roadside motel back in the day
they would have magic fingers oh yeah same thing the coin box on the side of the bed
that's right yeah but we were watching a movie and and you know all of a sudden boom everything
goes down and we're like scrambling around the coins and trying to find the thing to put in
because the lights were gone the tv was gone everything just got gets turned off in that uh in that little flat but you know it's funny but at the same time
it's also infuriating because what you're doing step by step is taking away the ownership of a
vehicle you know when you asked bought it and it is yours if the word has any meaning you paid for
it and now it's your property into a thing that you are allowed to use, you know, within certain parameters.
And as long as you continue to pay for it, and it's a really vicious business model.
And I think it actually was pioneered by our friend Bill Gates back in the 90s when he came up with the idea of instead of you buying the CD had the the whatever the the editing program or whatever
you were using that you possessed you owned it once you bought it and maybe it was out of date
but it still worked and if you put it on another computer it would work and if you wanted to give
it to your kid you know for school they could have it and it could work uh to licensing software
oh so now you buy the license for the software and you have to renew it and if you don't renew
it every so often then it just stops working so that the license for the software and you have to renew it. And if you don't renew it every so often, then it just stops working.
So the auto industry saw that and decided, ah, that's a great idea.
We're going to start doing that, too.
Yeah.
In the mid-2000s, I remember they started doing it with graphics programs and with 3D modelers and everything like that.
And all of a sudden, they're all doing it as an annual subscription.
Of course, it still is that way with Adobe.
And it was infuriating.
It really was.
Talk about this 1978 Mustang II.
Oh, yeah.
For $32,000.
I saw that and I thought, well, I wonder how much my 1968 Fastback would be if I saw that.
Because I saw the Mustang IIs and I didn't really care much for them.
But, yeah, it's amazing.
$32,000 for that.
Well, some background, not far from me is a really interesting dealer that specializes
in classic cars and weird cars, including right-hand drive stuff.
They call it JDM, Japanese domestic market stuff.
And a lot of these cars are just driver cars.
You know, if you want to get a neat old driver, you can get a car like that.
And I go there every once in a while to sort of refresh my spirits because sometimes it's so debilitating to deal with everything that's
going on in the new car world. And I consider it a barometer of what's going on in the new car
business that they would actually seriously put a $32,000 price on a 78 Mustang, you know,
and for those who don't know what that is, you know, this is the Mustang that was in the day
just laughed at by practically everybody. Now it to save the mustang to be fair because things were
bad in the mid 70s so for radically downsized it they took a lot of pinto components to make this
mustang too which was the first mustang to come with a four-cylinder engine and which eventually
offered a v8 that wait for it made all of 122 horsepower and so everybody laughed at it you
know what because at that time it was silly because it you know the memory of things that
were better was still fresher you know and you could always buy an older mustang that was superior
and even the new stuff got to be progressively better so the cars got forgotten and they were
essentially worthless for many years well their value is creeping up because my god they're
starting to look better and better all the time in the rear view mirror you know you look at this car it's like you know which would i rather have this
this extremely low miles pristine 78 mustang 2 for 32 000 or a new four-cylinder turbo mustang with
with all kinds of multiplex touch screens and and and and just disconnected drive-by-wire
data mining spyware big brother apparatus that I can't work on.
And I'm a competent mechanic.
You can't do anything with these vehicles.
I could take that little Mustang Cobra II, even though its engine only makes about 130 horsepower.
And in a weekend, I could put a four-barrel carburetor on it, a set of headers and a cam, and I could do that for less than $1,000 and double the horsepower.
That's pretty appealing.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. You and double the horsepower. That's pretty appealing. Yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
You mentioned the Pinto.
It's amazing.
I didn't know the Mustang two had Pinto parts in it, but yeah, that.
The floor plans, I think are Pintos.
It was the only Mustang to ever have.
I think it was the only Mustang to ever have four lug hubs, just like an economy car.
Wow.
Wow.
Did it blow up if it got hit from the back?
No, I mean, you know, it actually was a a you know again in retrospect it was a it was more akin to the original 64 mustang you know
the mustang had gotten big huge and heavy by 1973 and it was kind of an overwhelming car the original
64 mustang was a light small nimble agile car that appealed to anybody it wasn't just hot rod types
and young guys who liked the original mustang you know it was a car that appealed to anybody. It wasn't just hot rod types and young guys who liked
the original Mustang. You know, it was a car that a housewife could drive or an older person could
drive. And the Mustang too, that was made from 74 to 78 was very similar. It was, you know,
smart design had a hatchback. It was, uh, you know, it was attention. It was roomy for its size.
It was economical. Uh, it was not a bad car, you know, even though at the time we all ridiculed it oh yeah
yeah i remember um you know i i got my car um uh i guess it was uh 72 73 and i had a 68 mustang
and i was looking at the new mustangs i was like those are horrible if i had the money i wouldn't
want that it was so huge i i remember from the Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever,
there was a scene where they're chasing,
where he's driving the Mustang, and he goes down an alley,
and then there's a ramp, and he gets it up on two wheels,
and he goes down through the alley on two wheels.
The guys who did that were out of Tampa, where I lived.
They called themselves the Hurricane Hell Drivers,
and they would always perform at the
state fair and they could go all the way around this dirt track on two wheels and they did that
stunt although i'd seen that stunt so many times it was it was a lot of fun to see that stunt
done in the film but they did it with one of those gigantic mustangs the 73 mustangs that were huge
very impressive stuff yeah very impressive stuff huge yeah the pinto like i said karen had the pinto
and uh the the it had it was not a hatchback it had a trunk and that trunk was the thinnest
piece of sheet metal i've ever seen on any car i've ever been around and when you slam the trunk
it would just vibrate and we had you know what yeah in pinto's defense you know and and in leo
iacocco's defense who at the time was the Ford Vice President of North American Operations, that car was brought to market for just under $2,000 when it first came out.
And like most of the economy cars at that time from American car makers, it was rear-wheel drive.
Today, rear-wheel drive is exclusively for affluent people because you can't find anything that's rear-wheel drive anymore that isn't basically a luxury luxury branded vehicle so this is a measure again of what we've lost you could get a pinto
with a rear-wheel drive layout and you remember when we were in high school people would put v8s
and pentos and vegas and things like that and it was all kinds of fun yeah you can't do that anymore
with with a little front wheel drive car that's right yeah it's too complicated yeah when you go
back and you look at uh there's a company called flying miata they they put they they cram in really big engines
you know up to v8 like a corvette v8 engine ls1 and and uh they started doing that with the older
ones but it got successively more difficult for them to do it by the time they got to the third
generation of miata it had a lot of
electronics in it and then this uh fourth generation which just came out uh uh well i don't know maybe
it's been about five or six years now they it took forever for them to do it they had to hire
specialists to do the electronics and everything to to change out the the um the motor and then
put in a bigger a more robust transmission in it. It took them forever to do that because of all the electronics and how complicated.
Very expensive.
Yeah.
Everything now is an integrated system.
So, you know, if you bought, for example, a 22 charger with the V6 engine that's standard
in it, and you wanted to put the Hemi that you could have gotten in it, the V8 engine,
that's almost impossible to
do from an economic, economical and technical point of view, because it wouldn't be worth doing.
You know, you literally gut the entire car, all of the electronics, because it won't, it won't
mesh. It won't accept a different engine than the one that came with it from the factory,
the computer, all the related equipment won't work with it. So, you know, my, I have a 76 Trans Am,
as you know, and I can put any engine I want to in there easily if I work with it. So, you know, I have a 76 Trans Am, as you know,
and I can put any engine I want to in there easily if I felt like it.
And as long as it physically bolted up, it will work.
And everything else in the car will continue to work
because they're separate systems.
They're not interconnected systems.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Everything was interconnected on it.
But getting back to the Pinto thing, you know, again,
what you began by saying in terms of people being able to pick something that they can afford.
Karen was just starting out as a teacher.
She didn't have any money.
She could get a used Pinto.
And I think it was under $1,000.
And, you know, she didn't have to go into massive debt with it.
It was stripped down.
It was bare bones.
And, again, it was an older car.
Somebody stole that car.
And people came and gave it back to you well what happened was it was she got a water leak and it was a slow leak and and it was middle
of the week and i said let's wait a couple of days and i'll fix it on the weekend and so she
would carry out this jug of water for the next two days to fill it up before she would take it to uh to
work and she could make it you know there and back by just topping it up because it was a slow leak
and so she goes out uh in the morning to with her jug of water and her car's gone you know it's
parked in front of the apartment she was renting and she called me up and she says now you brought
me home yesterday right she just couldn't believe that somebody would steal this
car and they did steal the car and they had it for about 30 days but the insurance company
uh paid her for it is because i imagine they ruined the engine uh probably ran it without
any any water in it uh but uh they paid her the full amount and actually she made a little bit
of money on the deal uh because she had gotten a really good price on it but yeah it was it was
very bare bones and everybody was joking about did you leave the engine running in a bad neighborhood
who would steal that car you know but uh they take it for laughing about it now but you know
and again here's here's another related thing you know housing to get back to that issue
because of zoning laws uh you know people who are just coming up and wanting to buy their first
house used to be that you could find affordable little houses you know the starter home they called it now you can't because everything in
the development is the same and you know it's it's only for people who can afford a four or five
hundred thousand dollar mortgage what happens to the people who maybe want to spend a hundred
thousand because that's all they've got yeah that's right they're pushed out of the market
effectively and that's exactly the same thing that's happened with cars and cars i think set the predicate for that you know they in raleigh not raleigh austin uh they just uh they've got
a neighborhood that they're doing 3d printed houses with concrete and it's kind of interesting
to watch them come together and i thought well are they going to make them affordable no they
didn't make them affordable uh they're extremely expensive houses and it's like you know when when
is somebody going to address that lower end of the market?
I mean, here you've got a situation where there's not a lot of labor, and yet, you know, you're supposed to be able to save some money by having this 3D printed thing.
It's like, what is the advantage of this thing if it's going to be expensive?
And they've got an entire neighborhood of 3D printed houses, but they're extremely expensive.
And I think they're more than, like, the medium price of the house uh i don't know it's difficult austin's
kind of a strange market it's been going up and going down so i don't know really how it compares
but isn't it ironic when you think about it that we hear this endless prattle about democracy you
know democracy is is the deified word and yet there's extremely little democracy in the economy you know we don't have
choice anymore in the economy everything is dictated to us from the top down and and the
effrontery of it because the people who are dictating it are extremely affluent people who
can afford to buy anything and they're telling the people who don't have that much money and
particularly young people who are trying to get a leg up and start you know start out in life
that no you can't have that you can only have this and if you can't afford it well too bad yeah oh no they want to dictate everything
to us they want to dictate what we eat even i mean all this bird flu stuff you know focusing on yeah
monkey pox now but the bird flu the way they focused on it you know where they were killing
unnecessarily killing massive numbers of chickens in new zealand uh they they did kind of the same
thing with bees that produced manuka honey which is extremely expensive but then when it this time
around this year bird flu they start testing all of the milk and the meat and stuff it's like why
aren't you testing the eggs if it's bird flu right it's because they want to end meat and dairy they
talk about that they want to dictate meat and dairy they talk about that
they want to dictate everything to us where we can go what we can wear where we live uh you will own
nothing we're not even going to be able to afford electricity at the rate that they are ramping
everything's up they're ramping the grid down you and i've talked about it for a long time about how
they're forcing everything onto the electric grid while they shut down power plants and now with ai coming in
it's it's making it really impossible uh but um yeah everything is about them dictating terms to
us it's a neo-feudalism it really is and it's very cleverly done too you know they've learned
a lesson i think they they refrain from outright outlawing things what they do is they outprice
things that's right that's right so you know
it's getting to the point where average people cannot afford to eat meat anymore and it's not
banned you can you can have a steak if you want to stay if you can afford a steak and you know as
they continue to jack the prices up it's going to get to the point where almost nobody except the
very affluent can afford a steak you know they're open about it when they talk about this carbon
credit thing that
Elon Musk has taken advantage of, but now they want to make it so that each of us has
a carbon footprint, which we're not allowed to step out of. And if we step outside of our carbon
footprint, then we get hit with carbon taxes. So if you use too much gas, if you drive too far,
if you eat too much meat, whatever may be you know they have a mathematical formula
that they can use to say well that results in the emission of so much carbon dioxide
and accordingly you have to pay for it you know they frame this as the polluter pays
they're really working overtime to frame and characterize this harmless inert gas that's
necessary for life as a pollutant yeah and who do who do you pay? You pay them, right?
You buy an indulgence from them
because they're the king of the world.
You know, they're the Pope
that you're buying indulgence from to pollute.
It's absurd.
I just can't believe how people are being taken in
by this climate scam.
But then when you look at what happened
with the pandemic stuff
and the fact that, you know,
you're still running your diaper report,
people are still scared to death of this stuff.
And they're still,
you know,
they're still pushing the mask earlier in the program.
I talked about this influencer who was a sociologist and worked for some
universities and worked,
went to work for New York times and wrote some articles defending the flip
flopping of the mask recommendations.
And they nominated
her for a pulitzer prize and she's cutting down scientists who are doing control studies and have
done control studies this one institution did them as early as 2007 but i had one that went back to
2002 where they were talking about the fact that masks don't work for any of this stuff but they
become very astute in using psychology yes uh to use people's innate
good nature against them because most people are decent people and they don't want to be the source
of harm they don't want to be a problem and so you know you you get them to think that well if
you don't wear a mask you're you know you're going to kill grandma uh if if you eat meat well you're
you're causing the climate to change so you're a person. It's really adroit and it's really vicious.
And I hope to God we can figure out a way to combat this, because if not, life on this earth is going to become literally hell on earth.
Oh, yeah.
Everything is about making sure that you don't offend somebody, that you don't harm somebody else.
You know, your mask is there to protect me.
You know, just like your vaccine is there to protect me because the mask and the vaccine, they know people don't protect.
So you got to wear one.
And it's like, what difference does that make?
It's absolutely insane.
But let me ask you about this, because you mentioned there's a place that has some unusual cars down, not too far away from you.
Is that where you saw this right hand hand drive um uh to 91 land cruiser 70 yeah
yeah that's a very interesting article and i'm interested to know if you've made a decision yet
tell people the prepper's dilemma tell them what your problem was about this i am contemplating
violating my own prime directive which i've lived by since I was in high school, which is to live below my means
and to avoid debt to the extent possible. I never, for the past 20 years, have bought a thing that I
could not afford to pay for at the time that I purchased it, because I think that debt is cancer.
It's bad. But we live in chaotic and crazy times, and maybe it makes sense to make an exception.
And the exception that I'm contemplating making in this case is for one of these neat JDM right-hand drive export-only models that you couldn't have gotten
in the United States, thanks to Uncle Sam. It is a 91 Toyota Land Cruiser, which is powered by a
mechanically injected diesel engine with no turbo that has manual four-wheel drive, a manual
transmission, analog everything everything there's nothing
electronic about it you don't even need a battery to start the thing if you've got a hill you know
just just roll it down a hill and it'll start and run it doesn't need anything you know and i and i
thought to myself wow that might be a really great thing to have in the months and years ahead
potentially so you know i i can't afford to cut a check for it but I I've been
thinking about well maybe just this once uh I should take on a little debt to get something
like that because you know it it really could be the difference between being able to to get around
without walking or pedaling uh in the future because it's you know it's these old diesels
will burn practically any kind of oil yeah they don't have EF, they don't have particulate traps.
They don't have electric fuel injection.
So as long as you can get some type of oil, whatever it happens to be,
you can, you know, you can operate your vehicle.
And that makes it a very viable vehicle to me, to my way of thinking.
So I haven't come to a decision yet, but I'm, I'm,
I'm definitely brooding it about in my head. So you haven't come to a decision yet, but I'm definitely brooding it about in my head.
So you haven't come to a decision yet.
I saw the article, and I guess it's a couple of days old, and you are asking the readers to chime in on this and let you know.
I mean, are you taking a poll?
Is that what it is?
Yeah, because one of the things that I've come to very much appreciate, and it was inadvertent about my site, is that there are a lot of really thoughtful, bright, well-educated people who comment.
And I learn a lot from the people who do.
And I take I take their advice on a lot of things.
And it was interesting because people fell on either side of that uh the dividing
line some said yeah this is this is something that's justifiable this is something that makes
sense and others said don't do it uh and and there's good reasons on both sides and i i still
haven't come to my own decision about what to do yeah that's that's interesting you got another
article uh i see you you see me talking about the ford patent which you and i have talked
about this for the longest time uh that it's inevitable that you know they've got all the
tools and they've had them for a while if anybody uses a map uh on your phone the map app you know
that it knows what the speed limit is wherever you are and uh so all you have to do is add a
little bit of something to it so that it can snitch on you.
And that seems to be what they've got in the patent.
You know, you and I should have patented that.
And then if we should have filed that, people have filed ideas for, you know,
there was a patent for showing pictures on an electronic device or something, and they're collecting money from all these smartphone manufacturers.
I mean, literally, you and I should uh hired a lawyer and filed a patent for
that because we could see it coming years ago you know we saw that happening problem is we both have
a conscience for all the hard defects yeah yeah this is this is really orwellian uh though entirely
predictable for it had filed a patent for basically an elaboration of technology that already exists
and of course they claim it's only for law enforcement purposes.
But essentially, they want to use the tech that's already embedded in practically every
vehicle that's been made since roughly about 2015 to use one vehicle, vehicle A, to note
the speed of another vehicle, vehicle B, and to transmit data about the fact that that
vehicle B is exceeding the speed limit to the
authorities or to the insurance mafia. So essentially to turn every car on the road
into kind of a narc. And, you know, it means that it's a panopticon. Every time you go outside,
you know, somebody is literally watching you. And as you said, we've been talking about this
for many years and they talk about this this as a hypothetical a theoretical something that might come to
pass no it's already come to pass you know almost all new cars have cameras built into them
and the cameras watch the car ahead of them to the side of them and behind them
they have speed limit recognition technology so the vehicle knows uh not only what the speed
limit is on the road that you happen
to be driving on in real time, you know, that's updated constantly as you drive, but then it can
juxtapose that with the speed that you're driving. And therefore it can tell that you're speeding,
you're driving faster than the speed limit. And because the car has the ability to transmit
the data that it collects, well, it can tell the insurance company oh you're speeding
it can tell the government you're speeding it can say where you've been where you're going all of
these things yeah so you know it's just a matter of all of this now sort of coalescing bits and
pieces of it have been added to cars for roughly the last 20 years or so and now you can see the
picture and it's almost there it's almost become completely coalesced and it's soon to be activated and
i think that's by the way part of the reason why a lot of people are deciding to opt out of a new
vehicle they're saying you know i think i'll pass i think what i've got uh and a lot of people are
saying you know i think i'm actually going to go back in time and i'm going to go get myself
something older that's analog that doesn't have any of this tech in it so that i control my car and i might be
spied on and data mined by my car yeah but the problem is you know you can make that decision
but the problem with this is that it's these other new cars that are spying on you even if you've got
an old analog thing you know it's now like a invasion of the body by fisher snatchers you know
you know there are always ways to get around that
and i you know and i'm sure you probably agree with me you tell me normally i'm the kind of
person who would refrain from doing anything quote unquote illegal because you know we don't
we're trying to do the right thing right yeah but there comes a point when the system itself
becomes an outlaw that your only option is to become an outlaw too and and to stop playing
along with these games that
they play. So you can do things like, I don't know, put a farm use plate on your vehicle that
isn't specific to your vehicle. It just says farm use on it. They can't identify you that way.
Or maybe slap some mud on your license plate. Oops, you know, I went off road a little bit
and they can't see what your number is. Do all of these things. There's nothing immoral immoral about it when the system is immoral you have a right to defend yourself against it oh yeah
we we thought about that and came to our own conclusions about that uh four years ago when
they're talking about vaccine passports and all the rest of this stuff and it's like uh i'm not
playing that game i'll play a different game and i didn't see any moral qualms with that at all i
think as a matter of fact uh you know it
is they'd like to put this guilt trip on you you need to do this to save grandma do you need to do
this to save your neighbor and it's like no i'm resisting what you're doing in order to save
grandma in order to save my neighbor in order to save my grandkids right i'm going to resist you
because you're the problem and i'm going to do whatever i need to do to resist you with all this stuff and so some of it is passive some of it is um active nullification
of what they're doing i absolutely agree with you i think what they're doing is is really you know
turning every new car into some kind of a stasi snitch uh to try to you know uh to to surveil us
is and it's this obsession that they have and i think
in a sense it's kind of a sign of weakness they're so paranoid because they're worried that somewhere
somebody is going to be doing something that is going to push back against their power and they've
got to follow and observe and track and predict uh everything that everybody's going to do everywhere
that so they got cameras everywhere.
And now they think, well, where else could we put a camera?
And it never ends.
They can always put it in another place.
And the other facet of it is that there's this underlying puritanical meanness to it.
This sense that if you don't do things the way they think they ought to be done,
then you're effectively a criminal.
And you deserve whatever punishment they decide to be done, then you're effectively a criminal and you deserve whatever
punishment they decide to levy against you. It's really a hideous kind of psychology behind it.
Americans used to have an instinctive dislike of busybodyism. You know, they used to not like the
nosy neighbor who peered through the blinds, you know, to see what you were doing in the backyard.
Now America has been undef defined by busybodyism.
You know, and of course, people have been conditioned to that.
You know, for 20 years now, back during the reign of George W. Bush,
I always refer to him as the chimp because he's a simian imbecile.
Forgive my language for it.
But you remember, you know, if you see something, say something.
I mean, it was right out of East Germany.
It was so profoundly un-american to have
that kind of attitude toward people you know and and unfortunately now that has become frankly i
think a very common uh kind of attitude that people have what's he what are they doing it
looks suspicious i better call the cops yeah it's just your own business and leave other people
alone oh yeah look at tim waltz during the during the lockdown stuff he had a snitch line you know hotline to snitch on other people that had 10 000 calls that were made to it
so they had people in minnesota that were taking up on taking him up on it take a look at um the
threats from this uh bureaucrat in in the eu uh even the other bureaucrats are like pulling back
wait a minute we don't want to tell people where we're going yet. You know, I call him, his name is Theory Breton.
I call him Conspiracy Theory Breton.
The guy was actually, his dad was a bureaucrat,
so I call him an SOB, son of a bureaucrat.
But he was, he thinks that it's his,
you know, that he ought to get involved
and say that our political candidates in our election
don't have the ability to speak and to debate things.
I mean, and to me, the most amazing thing about this Trump-Musk thing, people are, you
know, on both sides of political divide.
They're taking a look at some of the things that they said.
But to me, the most important thing about it was that.
Why aren't all Americans outraged about the fact that some
bureaucrat in europe would think that he could shut down a discussion with a political candidate
yeah if anything good uh has arisen out of what's been happening is that we're seeing a clarification
you know uh the focus is now clear uh it used to be that you could ascribe what's going on to well
they you know they're just trying to do the right thing.
They have good motives.
They don't have good motives.
They're evil people.
And that's not too strong a word.
They're evil people.
And you can see they're evil.
You can see their desire, their punitive desire to punish anything that they don't like, including if you're simply somebody who has stated an objective fact about something.
The best example I think I can pull up about that, if you point out that well you know leah thomas is a man
yeah you know you know i'm sorry you know it's not a matter of of his hurt feelings he's a man
and it's it's it's just you can't change biology by putting on different clothes
you know and and to say something like that now they characterize that as hate speech and you know that issue is and ought to
be extremely alarming when the truth when facts become hateful you have a real problem yeah that's
right yeah i i always refer back to uh remember the goldwater slogan uh kind of a paraphrase
yeah i say extremism in defense of free speech is no vice, and moderation of content is no virtue. Because it's always done to show people's feelings.
You know, it's ridiculous.
When you look at this, and this is one of the justifications that SOB Breton had, and that was, we've got to look at anything that is hateful.
And, you know, we're doing this just to protect people.
That's kind of like the ministry of love from Orwell.
You know, he's combining the ministry of truth along with the ministry of love.
Oh, you can't say anything that is false or misinformation.
You can't say anything that hurts somebody's feelings.
And it's like, wow, you've just rolled together two of the Orwell ministries under one thing.
It's to me just such a self-evident thing that free speech, the truth has nothing to fear from free speech.
You know, I mean, if something is false,
it will be established that it's false pretty readily.
You know,
if this suppression of free speech has one objective and that is to stifle the
truth and facts that are uncomfortable with certain people.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
It is so fundamental and we see it as being more and more fundamental all the
time.
For years we would say, well, you know, the Second Amendment is there to protect the First Amendment.
I think it's the other way around.
I think the First Amendment was there first because I think it is absolutely the most important one because, you know, they didn't use a gun on us in 2020.
What they did was they used lies, propaganda, censorship, all of those types
of things. Those are the weapons that they used against us. And I really think that it showed that
the pen is mightier than the sword. That kind of psychological gaslighting that they were able to
pull on people, creating fear, distrust, snitching, and all the rest, that was done because of mass
violations of the first amendment and and
so it really is the paramount one i believe i think if ultimately implicitly if you are not
free to speak you're not free to think that's right that's that's the bottom line and once
you're not free to think and to hold true to your own convictions in your own conscience
and what you think is correct and right you have no freedom everything else is meaningless that's right yeah yesterday i was talking a little bit about this
new platform called noster that um uh tom uh that uh dorsey what's his name uh jack dorsey um that
uh you know he's he's thrown his weight behind and it's supposed to be you know this this
independent uh system where you can uh have social media, you can have content like we produce and stuff, you know, and people can even pay you for it.
And so it's a way of bringing freedom back to the Internet.
But what he said was, he said, it's not really about free speech.
It's really about being able to think freely.
But that really comes from the free speech violations you know that that was
the targeting of the way that we think and and that behavioral manipulation that is there that
used a violation of the first amendment to do that that you know so yeah but hopefully something
will come of that i don't know i'm just starting to look at that but it might be something that we
all need to uh to get involved in um So anything, what else is on your mind?
We've only got about a minute and a half here.
So, you know, what else is happening?
How about my interview with the parasite?
Did you catch that one?
Yes, yes, that's right.
I saw that.
The property taxes, because you talk about not owning anything.
As long as you've got property taxes, as everybody's pointed out,
you really don't own your home, right?
Yeah, well, the thing that astounded me most, well, what happened was an assessor, you know, a government agent came to my house is your place to assess, to determine the value of what you
putatively supposedly own so that they can decide how much money they're going to charge you
for being allowed to continue to occupy what you think is your home. You know, I rants about the
property tax a lot because I think the property tax is even more pernicious fundamentally than
the income tax. Because if you didn't have the property tax, at least you could at some point
own your home or
at least aspire to it and have a place that was truly yours and in that case you wouldn't need
income would you right that could be taxed in order to pay the property taxes that's right so
you know it's just it shocks me that people have accepted this this idea that you will never own
your home that you have to pay rent to the government forever you know until you get it
and no politicians will talk about that.
It is really amazing that they won't even talk about that.
It's such a powerful control.
And we've seen them confiscate property and sell it for 1% of the value of the home.
It absolutely is insidious.
