As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 19th of November, year of our Lord 2024. Well, we've had some updates in the, what should we call this? Is it a Ukraine war?

I guess it's the Russian-American war. We've got some updates as to what happened. We've had a missile now fired deep into Russian territory. Russia has changed its terms about how nuclear war will proceed. And we've got Biden wandering around the jungle of Brazil. Isn't that the perfect example of how the entire world is being destroyed while these people dither over this nonsense about the climate? And we have a great report from Alex Newman, who is there at the Cop Nonsense.

And we're going to see how COP is being transformed to GOP. As I said the other day, only Keir Starmer was the only real representative at COP. Now, this is different from the Brazilian thing. But we do have GOP congressmen there. Guess what they're talking about? Carbon capture. We'll be right back. General Turgidson, is there really a chance for that plane to get through? Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the Ruskie talks big,

but frankly, we think he's short of know-how. I mean, you just can't expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys. And that's not meant

as an insult, Mr. Ambassador. I mean, you take your average Ruskie, we all know how much guts he's got. Hell, look at all of them Nazis killed off, and they still wouldn't quit.

Can't you stay to the point, General? Well, sir, if the pilot's good, see, I mean, of them nazis killed off and they still wouldn't quit can't you stay to the point general well uh sir uh if the pilot's good see i mean i mean if he's really sharp he can barrel that baby in solo you ought to see it sometime it's a big plane like a 52 it's jet exhaust frying chickens in the barnyard yeah but has he got a chance has he got a chance? Has he got a chance? Yeah, he's got a chance of starting a nuclear war. Yeah.

And so does this idiot, Biden. You know, I looked at that clip. Peter Sellers' character there, the bald American president, that milk toast guy. He reminded me so much of Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson's got hair but other than that i mean it was as if he had seen 60 years in the future to see mike johnson who uh fortunately is not present hopefully will never be president but he keeps photobombing every picture of the uh the uh the maga aven, as they're calling them now. You got, you know, RFK Jr. and Musk and Trump and Vivek. They're all inseparable, but always there's Mike Johnson, you know, getting

into the picture, photobombing. Well, in a last-ditch effort to prevent Trump from taking office, the Democrats start World War III. That's the Babylon Bee, but that's pretty much a distillation of everybody's reactions about this. Not only here in America, but also abroad. We have people in France and Sweden and Finland all saying the same thing. Wait, you're trying to start a nuclear war. Yes, that's right they are i've been saying that for a long time gerald senti has been saying it for a long time uh we have joel skousen's been saying that they are trying to start a nuclear war

it's part of the population reduction it's like you know let's create crisis let's create a war let's decrease the population thomas massey, authorizing long-range missiles to strike inside Russia. By doing that, Biden is committing an unconstitutional act of war. And I would say it's also unconscionable. That endangers the lives of all U.S. citizens. This is an impeachable offense. But the reality is that he's an emasculated puppet of a deep state. You can remove him. It's not going to change anything.

And of course, Thomas Massey knows that because he's nothing but this meandering idiot at this point. That's what I think is the most interesting thing is that we've lost all pretense of the president as a superhero i guess that's one of the reasons why they got to bring trump back all right with biden it became pretty clear that the uh president was a fifth wheel uh to the warfare state the deep state whatever you want to call this mess in Washington. It's not even an American government. It's controlled by Israel. It's ridiculous what's happening with this stuff.

And now that certainly is the case with Trump. But looking at this, I mean, it's controlled by corporations. It's controlled by foreign governments. As a matter of fact, our government is the center of globalism. We have the UN here for a reason. We like to think, conservatives like to think that, oh, well, we've got the American government and we've got Bilderberg and UN and the Club of Rome and Davos and World Economic Forum. They're all out there. And we got to fight them with the UN government.

No, the U.Ss government is part of that funding all of that at the center of all of that this globalist government that is here anyway um now putin said um quite some time, actually, September the 12th. You know, it was 68 days ago that Putin said, if you fire these long range missiles that you have positioned in Ukraine, we know that that's you doing this. It's not the Ukrainians. They can't operate this stuff. They need satellites to do this. So you're the ones who are going to be firing this missile. He said that 68 days ago and we got another 65 days to go before there's going to be any change and i do think that this

is a real difference between biden and trump i said in um in the 20 in 2020 in the lead up to that i said it many many many many times uh tony. Tony Arterman knows. He said, you said this. Yeah. I said the difference between Biden and Trump, I said in 2020, was war with Russia, if it's Biden, and war with China, if it's Trump. Well, we may have both of those things, but definitely Biden is set. And why is he set? Because of, and why did I say that?

Because of the deep ties in Ukraine to the Democrat National Committee, the DNC. And you go back and look at Alexandra Chalupa and all these other people and how they were involved with the DNC, Vindman and all this. There was a tremendous back and forth. That's where the Russiagate stuff was launched against Trump and all the rest of this. He's got a lot of ties with Ukraine. Of course, he also does have some ties, the Biden criminal family, to China. But he's especially connected to Ukraine.

And so going back to September the 12th, just as a reminder, I mean, that was only 63 days ago. A lot of stuff has happened since then. I was thinking, well, what was that, like six months ago, nine months ago? No, it was only two months ago. This is Biden, Putin rather, talking about this in Russian. So we've seen very high-level discussions in the UK andK. and the U.S. about the Kiev regime being able to strike deep into Russian territory with long-range Western weapons. And it appears that this decision is either to be taken apparently or it's already been taken. And this thing, of course, is extraordinary. I wanted to ask you to comment on what this is, he says to Putin.

He says there's an attempt to substitute concepts, because we're not talking about authorizing or banning the Kiev regime from striking across the entire territory. It's already striking with the help of drones and with other means. But when it comes to using high-precision, long-range, Western-made weapons, it is a completely different story. The fact that I've already mentioned this, and any experts will confirm that both in our country and in the West, the Ukrainian army is not able to strike with modern long-range precision systems of Western manufacture. It cannot do this. And it can only do so using intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have. This is data only from EU satellites or from the United States in general, from NATO satellites.

This is the first thing. And the second, and very important, maybe the key, is that only NATO servicemen can enter the flight assignments into these missiles, these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this. And so this is not about allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons, or not. It is about deciding whether NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine. This is their direct participation.

And this already, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. This would mean that NATO countries, the United States, European countries, are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, bearing in mind the change, the very essence of this conflict, we will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us. So that was 63 days ago. Now today, somebody that runs the White House

because Biden is in Brazil wandering around the Amazon, clueless. Somebody made the decision to do this. Of course, it's a policy announcement from the regime. And so this morning, even as I speak, it's already kicked off. At 5.30 a.m., there there were news reports and i'm not sure the exact time but of course you know their time is ahead of ours at 5 30 a.m this morning um it was reported that the first american long-range missile was fired into russia and again it has to be done by americans they don't have the codes they don't it's not that

they haven't been trained they don't have the, they keep this restricted, as he pointed out, and they have to have satellite information to do this. So Americans fired Russian, fired missiles deeply into Russia this morning at 530. In response, Putin lowered the nuclear war threshold terms. Now their new doctrine says that if they are attacked by conventional missiles, drones, or other aircraft, it may be met with nuclear weapons. That was not in their stated policy. Now they've done that and of course the americans are out there you know kind of like uh general sturgison yeah this is great we got that oh you know it's like oh wait a minute uh you know what is what is really happening with

this well they actually do that well you know those ruskies they're no match for us yeah they took on uh germany and they wiped out those nazis but uh they're no match for us by the way the uk is also expected to add its own missiles now it is european countries in the u.s primarily u.s and uk uh so as a new american points out by the way um these other missiles that they already had go um no more than 50 miles these missiles were shot 75 miles into russia and hit an ammo dump and you know they're doing photo ops with it to brag about it don't tell me that the biden administration and the american government is not trying to provoke a nuclear war. Everybody knows it. Everybody knows it. So it's not clear, because both of these things were reported at 5.30 this morning,

it's not clear whether the threshold was lowered in response to the missile being fired or if that just happened at about the same time but i think it was in response again a biden war with russia and so um is nuclear war ahead asked the new american they said in march putin said russia will use nuclear weapons in its war with ukraine and perhaps with the west if Western countries continue to escalate. Ukraine has been losing that war and lost half of its population. And this was something that was pointed out by an American journalist, Gonzalo Lira,

who was murdered by Ukraine's corrupt regime. Medical neglect as they kept him in prison after arresting him when he was trying to flee the country. The American journalist, Gonzalo Lira, had warned Ukraine could not defeat Russia in unnecessarily committing national suicide. But you see, the people who are running Ukraine, Zelensky and that corrupt group of people,

as well as Biden, they don't care. They'll commit suicide or more accurately, they will destroy their own countries. I've played many times. You know, Zelensky ran on a platform of peace because in the 2019 elections, they'd already had five years of war. After the American-engineered coup, the Russian ethnic areas that were on the eastern side of Ukraine wanted to join to Russia because Ukraine has been a part of Russia for most of the last four or five hundred years. And so those ethnic groups wanted to leave the Ukrainian government that was installed by the CIA there and the Democrats.

And in response, for five years, Kiev had been shelling these civilian areas. For five years, they bombed civilian areas. Five years of this by 2019 so zielinski runs in a campaign of saying i'm going to bring peace and he sends alexei arestovich to represent them at the peace talks with the other ukrainians right in their own country not going to let people peacefully leave and secede. Not going to allow the right of self-governance. No. And so he was asked by Ukrainian press, so what's the chance of peace?

He said, none. She said, oh, that's really bad. He goes, oh, it gets worse. In three years, 2022, we'll have a direct war with Russia. She goes, that's horrible. And he goes, the country will be havoced. But he said, the good thing is we get into NATO. They don't care.

They've got their goals. Getting into NATO and all the money. Because Ukraine is the most corrupt country on earth. That's not me. That's Bill Gates and many other people who have said that about Ukraine. The country that we gave nearly $200 billion to, the most corrupt country on earth. Why do you think we're giving that kind of money? Because it's the most corrupt country on earth. Because the Democrats can get their money out of it. I mean, just look at the Biden family. And there's a lot more where that came from and then you got zielinski who is setting

up villas all over the place nested inside of shell companies like a modryoski doll and put in the name of his wife and so this is what we're supporting this is what we're risking nuclear war for it's disgusting it's absolutely disgusting and and biden is risking america as well for whatever his purposes are you know this old fossil he's on his way out he's a bitter old man boy has keep jill away from the nuclear button she would love to push that just blow everybody up from the looks of it you know he's he's angry this would be a way for him to get revenge it's disgusting to see what these people are doing and everything that he's done since he's been in office has been designed not to enrich himself necessarily but to destroy and harm america everything his number one focus has been war abroad

and a green war against us domestically. So, Zelensky said he will do the talking with missiles, not with words. Yeah, here's Zelensky laughing about this in an interview.

He says, first, strong Ukraine. It has to be strong. Free diplomacy. And I emphasize this again. She says, yeah, but the USA is not only a potential, but they're giving us all this money, is what she's saying. It's going quickly. So she says, if they're going to encourage us to sit down

at the negotiating table, what message did you get from Donald Trump during these contacts that you had with him? I mean, he says, I'll be president and I will sit down at the negotiating table. So he laughs. No, we're an independent Ukraine. I personally, in negotiating

with the United States and with Trump and other European leaders, have proven that the rhetoric of sit and listen is not working. You never sit and listen to anybody. Listen to this guy. This is how we should treat any people, any leader, with respect. Oh, boy. All these values that we're fighting for, right? That would not be respecting our values. You filthy grifter.

All he wants is war and death of his own people. I have nothing but contempt for people like that. And I'd say the same thing about Putin. Look, all these people want is death, your death, for their goals. Whether it's like, well, we want a chunk of Ukraine, or we want to be a NATO, or whatever it is. They've got these ridiculous goals. Why do we go along with these people? Who cares where they draw the boundaries on the stop killing people?

The boundaries matter to them. They don't matter to us, especially if we lose our lives. So as they point out, the new American, this isn't the first time that Biden has escalated American participation in the war. In 2023, leaked video showed U.S. special forces operating in Ukraine. And in May, Biden said Ukraine could use shorter range missiles against Russia. He said directly across the border, of course, those missiles have a range of only 50 miles. These new missiles can hit targets 190 miles away.

And today they hit a target that was 75 miles inside Russia. Responding to the sane administration officials who worry that Putin might retaliate against the United States or NATO, U.S. officials said that they thought those fears were overblown. Who cares, right? Who cares? These people really are crazy crazy they're strange love crazy putin said however that biden was too wise a politician to escalate matters still putin's comments appear to be a message to the west that he is prepared to use all means to protect his

gains in ukraine and of course that was before today who actually had the firing and before he upped the ante on saying what their trigger conditions could be. To use nuclear weapons in the case of a threat to the existence of the Russian state or sovereignty and independence, Putin said that's always been there. He said always that was written in our strategy. We haven't changed that, but now they have. Now they've become more explicit to include conventional missiles jets because we gave these jets to them as well as well as drones so they've even included drones so they have put it there on the table is that a negotiating tactic well i don't know let's just keep pushing and find out right hawks inside the administration biden advisors have been too easily intimidated by putin's

hostile rhetoric and say that the administration's incremental approach to arming ukrainians has disadvantaged them on the battlefield that's what the hawks who are running the administration say we've just been too cautious there's been factions within the because it's not biden making his decisions we've been too easily intimidated by this yes i know that he's talking about using nuclear weapons but who cares and see here's the reality of this as the new american points out um the wall street journal in april 2022 right after after Russia invaded Ukraine, Seth Cropsey of the Yorktown Institute explained the United States, quote, should show that it can win a nuclear war, unquote. What does that mean? What does that mean?

I mean, you know, it's one thing to talk about winning a war, especially when in America, in all of my life, we've never had a definition of what winning is and going into any of these wars. We haven't had discussions. We haven't had votes in Congress on anything, this stuff. What does winning look like? They don't care. They want perpetual war. That's what I saw in Vietnam. I'm watching my sisters and the boys that they know that are older. I'm watching them being sent off to war. For what? For nothing. For a lie about a domino theory.

For a lie about the Gulf of Tonkin attack, which wasn't McNamara. Before he died, he said, yeah, it wasn't. We made that up, basically know it wasn't an attack from from Vietnam and then you look at the battles the U.S. soldiers winning every battle and then the politicians pulling out and turning the field back over to them it was never intended to win it was just a live fire exercise so they could test their weapons and have the American government buy more and more of those weapons and they just use the lives of American soldiers and who knows how many millions of Vietnamese for their profit

Center their profit Center is it surprising that we've got big pharmaceutical companies is it surprising that we've got big pharmaceutical companies? Is it surprising their connection to the U.S. military? And warp speed? Don't be surprised when Trump does some kind of a nuanced spin off of all this stuff. The reality is that unless the U.S. prepares to win a nuclear war, it risks losing one, he wrote. Oh, so there you go. We've got to destroy the world to save the U.S. prepares to win a nuclear war, it risks losing one, he wrote. Oh, so there you go. We've got to destroy the world to save the world.

How about that? Let's have a nuclear war so we can practice that. Like we practiced Vietnam. Like we practiced asymmetric warfare in Vietnam. And we did such a good job of practicing it in Vietnam that we lost one asymmetric war after the other. So yeah, let's practice nuclear war now. Since we can't handle asymmetric war after the other. So yeah, let's practice nuclear war now, since we can't handle asymmetric war. NATO and the United States involve themselves in Ukraine,

which now threatens to use American-supplied missiles to strike almost 200 miles inside Russia. And here we got a situation. I played the clip of Putin. I played the clip of Zelensky. They don't even speak English. We don't understand what's going on there. We don't need to be involved there.

It's not our fight. These people don't even speak English. It's a foreign war, by the way. We don't have to get involved in that. New American closes by saying we're a similar threat made to the United States. I don't know if Russia put missiles in Mexico. Wait a minute. We already had that scenario, didn't we?

We already had a scenario where they put missiles. They're going to put missiles in Cuba. And we went toe to toe with the Ruskies, didn't we? And we went to a brinksmanship of nuclear war over that, didn't we? Oh, but now let's do it with Russia. Let's do it the other way around. Again, you know, Skousen, Slenty, they understand what's going on. Biden wants to take the world with him says russia's top mp

everybody say this uh chairman of the russian state duma valodin said this new york times report on sunday he described the move as a significant escalation that might provoke a direct response from moscow the white house has made no official statements on the matter. But, you know, what was Biden doing? Well, Biden went down to Brazil, to the Amazon. He didn't go to the cop. Was it 28, 29? I lost track. Who cares? But, you know, he went down to Brazil so that he could talk about how, well, I know presumably they're going to give money for reforesting the amazon except he didn't you know he'd pledged a half a billion dollars to plant trees in the amazon um but now trees are out of style uh remember the new style the

new grift as as Bill Gates says, we've got to pay people to cut down trees and bury them because otherwise they'll outgas all the CO2 that they have. You can't make houses with it. Can't burn them as fuel. No, no, not going to be allowed to do that. So I guess the trees are not really fashionable anymore. But nevertheless, he was there, even though he didn't give a half a billion dollars,

they gave 100 million total and 50 million of that was committed yesterday. So he's throwing money at him. You know, this is the green grift. But he did give $4 billion as climate reparations to poor countries. We've got to pay them because they never developed any industry, and we did. And so because we developed industry, and because industry is killing the world, we need to pay them. We do. Not the Chinese.

We do. We've got to pay that. And that's how he's throwing your money away there. After $200 billion to Ukraine. And so this is what he had to say as the people who are running his administration and trying to start World War III. He's down in the Amazon forest saying this. It's no secret that I'm leaving office in January. Finally. saying this it's no secret that i'm leaving office in january finally i will have my sick i will leave my successor and my country in a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so

it's true some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's underway in america but nobody nobody can reverse it nobody nobody can reverse it hmm um how does he know that did they design the paris climate accord so nobody can reverse this stuff yes they did and trump is playing along with it. We were never in the Paris Climate Accord. By the way, Alex Newman, as he's covering COP, whichever one it is, 28-29, he pointed out, first time I've seen anybody say this except me and Steve Malloy. Alex Newman said, we were never in the Paris Climate Accord. It was never, it's a treaty that was never ratified by the Senate. Let's stop pretending that we're in it. And it is a sticking point with me because I'm seeing all these people say, well, you know, Trump may do this and this and this and this, but at least he got us out of the

Paris Climate Accord. No, he didn't. He pretended that we were in it and then said, well, because we're in it, I must follow the rules that they put in there saying that nobody can withdraw. If you say that you give us notice that you're going to withdraw, but you have to stay in it for another four years. What? And that's why he says nobody's going to change anything about this. Well, right after he said that, uh just wandered off into the jungle hear that they got like shaman they're shaking stuff at him while he's speaking here he's just

wandering off he says that everybody wants to ask him about the war that he's starting escalating in ukraine and he just wanders off into the forest by himself. He doesn't say anything to anybody. It's just good riddance. Don't come back, quite frankly. But yeah, nobody can reverse this Green War on us. And I guess he's trying to set up World War III that nobody can reverse either. That'll be his legacy. Where is Joe Biden?

Asked AOL. The U.S. president misses the g20 summit group photo in brazil the white house said the photograph got taken earlier than planned these people are so incompetent they can't even schedule a photograph that's how ridiculous this is due to logistical issues they took the photo early u.s president pledged four billion dollars in new support for climate reparations climate reparations well uh will trump honor those oh that's interesting will he will he pretend that he's got to pay that just like he pretended that he's got to stay in the paris climate accord i think he will um so uh you know uh where is congress in all this uh don't they have to allocate these funds can can um biden just gives some other country four billion dollars and congress doesn't have

anything to say about it where's his his piggy bank? Is this some of the money that he stashed away with money from this Ukraine war? And folks, that's not a conspiracy theory. When you go back and you look at the Iran-Contra situation, what were they doing? They had a backroom deal with Iran to sell them parts for the jet planes that they owned. And they took that money under the table and then used it to fund a war against the Contras, Nicaragua. So this has been done. It isn't like we're, you know what they could do?

No. Do you know what they have done in the past? So where's Mike Johnson? Other than just photobombing himself into every Trump picture. I mean, where's the Congress when it comes to spending $4 billion, transferring $4 billion to these other countries as reparations for the sin of manufacturing stuff? The G20 group includes Russiaussia but putin was not there he sent his foreign minister in his place and uh putin putin biden it's hard to tell the difference between them

except that one of them is not senile uh biden said the united states strongly supports ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity everyone around this this table, my view, should as well, he said, with the Russian foreign minister there. He also touted the U.S. support for Israel's war with Hamas and the Gaza Strip. He says we're going to keep pushing to accelerate a ceasefire deal. Oh, are you really? You've pushed really hard about that, haven't you? The U.S. isn't looking for a ceasefire anywhere. They're not looking for a ceasefire in the Middle East. They're not looking for a ceasefire in the Middle East.

They're not looking for a ceasefire in Ukraine. They want war everywhere. Perpetual war everywhere. Isn't that interesting? Why we and our allies continue to expand and continue war everywhere. Isn't that interesting? And we also strike preemptively. Hey, are we the bad guys here a wistful biden says goodbye

and a closing appearance on the world stage an end to an era should have been error e-r-r-o-r i don't let the door hit you on the way out pal um it's a campaigned on increasing import tariffs and on shrinking American overseas role. His leaving the scene is really the end of an era that a former the former U.S. ambassador to NATO under the Obama administration. The core essence of America's post 1945 foreign policy is over. It's gone. Biden was the end of it. Let's pray that that's true. I remain skeptical, however, because that's what Trump campaigned on.

And if you remember when he was president, he said, well, I don't know. We may just have to stop giving money to NATO. Did you ever think that that was a possibility? I didn't. What was he doing with that? He was doing the same thing with that in my opinion he was doing the same thing that he did with big pharmaceutical companies

you know hey you know i i like rfk jr here i've talked about vaccines and autism i don't know then they ponied up big bucks and he didn't talk to rfk jr again until he needed him this time around so we'll see what happens and my take on the nato stuff was that all of this talk about well you're you're gonna have to do your two percent you're supposed to chip in two percent of your gdp we're putting in more than that here in the united states so you gotta up the ante here or maybe we'll just leave. Maybe we don't need NATO. And all the conservatives are like, yes, get us out of NATO.

He's going to get us out of NATO. No, what he was doing was he was bidding up the price. He was preparing these people, get them to stockpile weapons, because they knew that they were going to go to war with Russia. They knew. This isn't just a Biden thing. They knew. NATO knew.

And he was doing what they wanted. Left, right, left, right. Yeah. The Hegelian road to hell. The fight against climate change has been a defining cause of my presidency, said Biden. And it's been the defining flaw, the defining flaws of his presidency. Biden's White House promised to provide $500 million over five years for Brazil's Amazon fund to protect millions of acres of forest. They don't need to plant any trees in the Amazon.

They got plenty of them down there. They're going to protect them. But they've only given 100 of the 500. And half of that was given, he said, in a commitment yesterday. Is Trump going to continue to give the rest of that money, they ask? Well, who knows, said a senior White House official when asked whether Trump would provide the remaining 400 million. But as The Wall Street Journal points out, Biden is not only a lame duck president, he's a super lame duck. Well, he's done everything he can to hobble and to cripple the United States and to make us lame.

And especially with the climate, McGuffin. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken assured his Japanese counterparts there at the G20 that Senator Marco Rubio is a good guy. He's one of us. See? Blinken says so. Don't take my word for it. Marco Rubio is one of them oh yeah trump split in as a secretary of state one of them good start uh and it's why i don't trust uh trump um he has

changed over and over again he's uh he flip-flops around just like Lala does on these issues. When Biden sat across the conference room table from China's Xi Jinping on Saturday, Biden twice said, let me close with this, before shifting to a reminiscence about their decades-long relationship that is now nearing its end, like I said before. War with Russia if it's Biden. War with China if it's Trump. Trump's security chief nominee blasts Biden's Ukraine missile escalation. This is Mike Waltz, normally a big war hawk, right? But again, war with Russia or war with China.

You're Democrats versus Republicans. Allowing Kiev to use U.S.-supplied long-range weapons against Russia only escalates the conflict, said Mike Waltz. The New York Times reported on Sunday that President Biden had given Ukraine permission and said Washington has neither confirmed nor denied this. Well, they've confirmed it this morning by the U.S., and it is the U.S., firing missiles into Russia. Waltz, a former Green Beret and Florida congressman tapped by Trump to serve as a top aide, said that he was not briefed on this move by the outgoing administration. He said that would normally be done by tradition. This is another thing that's got people concerned.

It's another step up the escalation ladder, said Waltz, and nobody knows where this is going. North Korea is unleashing ballistic missiles, artillery, now tens of thousands of soldiers. The administration responds by lifting this restriction. North Korea sends more soldiers. South Korea is now saying that it may get engaged. So this is a development, but it's a tactical one, Waltz added. President Trump is talking

grand strategy here. How do we get both sides of the table to end this war? What's the framework for a deal and who is sitting at that table? Yeah, what does winning look like? That would be the strategy. strategy instead what we do is we just play around with tactics you know let's try this new weapon system when i went to work for texas instruments one of the groups that i interviewed with was a cruise missile group and they were talking about how you know some of these guys yeah i was here back in vietnam and um you know we we would do mission after mission after mission to try to take out a bridge with a bomb. Now we can do it really easily with this stuff.

This is great. Don't you want to be a part of this? It's like, no. Many of his prominent backers have denounced Sunday's rumored move by the outgoing president as an attempt to make any peace deal more difficult. Of course, of course, nearly 200 billion dollars of taxpayer money to the most corrupt regime on Earth. And I imagine, you know, that's going to be part big part of his retirement fund. Meanwhile, in France, the French party leader, a French party leader, the Patriots Party, says stop the madness. He called on Paris to stop the total madness and to quit NATO.

And he was reacting to reports that the U.S. had given Ukraine the green light. The U.S. supplied long-range missiles to attack targets inside Russia's pre-2014 borders. Look, Patriots Party, party these nationalist parties they don't want anything to do with nato i don't want to have anything to do with nato what about america oh no let's put america last dead last on their list same thing in france the deep state and its puppet biden are attempting to trigger world war iii before the arrival of trump in power said the french politician he said we expected this kind of thing their madness knows no bounds we're going to have the to get reasonable people to take over and get rid of nato once and for all i'm afraid that's not going to be trump i don't hear him talking about that even.

And he says, let's stop this total madness. We need peace and exit from NATO. But meanwhile, you've got the madman Zelensky saying the missiles will speak for themselves. They certainly will. This crazy, grifting,

corrupt pervert. An entertainer who has put in place right just filthy comedy because it's the lowest form of humor people too stupid to come up with a joke they do sex comedy that's how he got into that position pathetic sweden and finland are warning residents to be ready for war they have begun warning their residents to prepare for the possibility of war as russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine rages on and it escalates this morning the pamphlet which has been issued five times since world war ii is now twice as long at 32 pages and focuses on war

preparations as the swedish government warns of worsening situation in Ukraine. Same thing is happening in Finland. Finland has also published its own online crisis prep brochure. By the way, I don't know how that's going to work if it's online you know um oh wait uh that's one of the reasons why um uh you got jack lawson uh did his book and i'll i'll plug it here but you know right now he's out of stock this is the civil defense manual the two volumes that he sells. Right now, he's out of stock, and he's desperately trying to get somebody to get this printed up real quickly. They messed it up on the publisher side in terms of his inventory stuff. They let it run out. So he's desperately trying to get that back in print.

But he was very deliberate. He's got great information here about a lot of different types of crises you know including a nuclear war if you survive the initial blast some things that you need to know about radiation and also about preparation and farming and defense and all the rest of that stuff comes into play but he always said no we're going to have it as a physical manual well in finland it's online for all the good it'll do you helsinki warned that as of the last government survey in September, only 58% of Finns have adequate emergency supplies at home to ride out a crisis. You think that many people in the United States are prepared? You think 58% of the people in the U.S. are prepared to ride out a crisis?

No. It'd be bad enough if it was only 58 percent it's probably like eight percent more like five or eight percent in the u.s and then we have the undersea cable between finland and germany severed and so a lot of people are deeply concerned about that because there's been a couple of these issues, along with damage to pipelines of the Baltic Sea. People said, well, is this sabotage? Is this because of the war? This article then goes on and says, and German prosecutors are still investigating the explosion

of Nord Stream between Russia and Germany in 2022. Yeah. Inspector Clouseau should have that report at any moment now. Are these the only people who don't know what happened with that even the new york times is saying the un the ukraine war is not winnable uh this is an op-ed piece it's not uh their official um opinions trump can speed up the inevitable in ukraine so now the new york times essay is saying what people have always said from the very beginning. At the very beginning of all this, you had, was it Colonel McGregor, I think?

Douglas McGregor was talking about it. And I played a lot of clips when all this stuff began. There were military men, generals, retired generals generals recently retired generals in india and so forth saying there's there's no way that ukraine can win this war even with weapons from the united states and the indian general was saying so what's the plan are we going to fight them to the last ukrainian many people picked that up and ran with that yes that is the plan that is the plan it is so bad now that they're uh they're literally kidnapping people out of public men out of public because they have lost so many lives there there are more people dying in ukraine than are being born

and uh so this is where this is happening and of course this essay says well um for trump if he stops this he's going to be accused by people especially in his own party of projecting weakness uh if he follows their advice and pushes ukraine into talks the result in lost territory his political rivals will as well as his hawks and his own party, will accuse him of abandoning Ukraine and rewarding Putin's hunger for expansion. And they would be right. And there's no way to sugarcoat it. Ukrainians would be hung out to dry and Putin would end up attacking again or expanding

his imperial designs to other neighbors. But Mr. Trump should do it anyway, she said. Because you can't win. You're not going to win this. First of all. Secondly, what is the goal here? Do we really care about the boundaries that much? Are we going to kill everybody?

You know, the plan from the beginning of this, the people who wanted to secede from Ukraine after the coup, the plan in Ukraine was, we'll kill every last one of them, but we'll not let them go. What's that about? Well, that's the same mentality we've got here in America. We've seen that since the Civil War. war uh but again it is um you know you have a a situation where uh it is a futile war we all know how it's going to end so we can uh try to save some lives or not she says i i believe that it's right to call uh ukraine a proxy war said, not only in deference to righteous Ukrainian determination to fight off Russia, but also because the war was a chance to debilitate our enemy without directly engaging it. And, of course, we've had Chris Christie say that openly when he was running for president.

He said, take a look at how much damage we've done to Russia's military, how many Russians we've killed. Yes, we should double up on this and keep it going. Lindsey Graham said the same thing over and over again, these people. They don't care about peace. And we should not be following them. We should not be supporting them. We should not be supporting the lessers of evils because they're still evil. And these people on either side will kill us all if they

get their way. So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. And I'm going to, let's play something from Christmas here. Let's see. Yeah, I heard the bells. That kind of fits. Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show okay and i'm not sure what happened to that audio but it's got some compression issues or something um do not obey says conflict is tensional we see many players where are the peacekeepers they reveal psyops that we're supposed to see through to harbor trust in a plan it appears that they create the narrative uh yeah that's right uh jay brown 247 just trying to bait russia into a serious attack so trump can say he has no choice but to keep marching to world war three yeah you better believe it i mean if they you know they attack you as well that's i I have to do this, right?

If we can escalate this, it is a uniparty. I don't trust any of these people. M. Sellers, meanwhile, Trump is so cool. He was at the UFC fight with Elon Musk, bread and circuses. Literally, yeah. Really is. Solid Cinder says, Trump will lead the U.S. Army on the battlefield like Washington. Yeah, across the Atlantic.

There we go. That's it. Instead of the Delaware. McGowan Fans says, David, Jack Lawson has, for free, the most important chapters for free. Yeah, that's right. I think the nuclear thing is there for free. Water is the number one thing. How do you maintain a

clean water supply and it's not electing trump and getting rfk jr to take the fluoride out of the water that's fine but you can take the fluoride out of the water yourself you can do it at local government 37 states allow the that decision to be made locally um but yeah you need to make sure that you've got clean water. So let's talk about life. You know, we got all these, it always bothers me to see Christian warmongers. I mean, it really bothers, the cognitive dissonance there is just, you cut it with a knife, can't you? And you know, you've got people out there who will fight tooth and nail to stop abortions good good you should do that and then they'll fight tooth and nail to go to war especially for israel

but anywhere can we be pro-life consistently pro-life to me to support these wars, while you fight to stop abortion, it's like fighting to stop abortion and then fighting to have doctor-assisted suicide. The difference is wars are military-assisted suicide. Government-assisted suicide. For everybody, for the country. War destroys our economy besides our lives uh but this i mentioned this briefly the other day this is a u.s abortionist who said yeah i commit late-term abortions all the time you ever get any women the second half of the second trimester yeah no problem uh well you know but what about this he goes oh yeah a lot of times for health purposes. For health purposes?

Well, I'm talking about somebody who's just pregnant. And he goes, oh, that is the problem. That is the health problem. She's pregnant. Right? That's the mentality. The medical problem is that she is pregnant, he said. So therefore, it's a life-threatening condition.

As I talked about this the other day, I said, well, you know, I've gone in detail about the four different cohorts of women, you know, women who were not pregnant at all, women who became mothers, women who had a surgical abortion, women who had an abortion pill. Guess what the safest group was in terms of emergency room visits, and they also did it for critical emergency room visits. The moms were the safest. They had fewer emergency room visits than even the women who had not been pregnant. Hundreds of percent increase for the women who had had a surgical abortion.

4,000 percent. 40 times more for the women who'd had a surgical abortion, 4,000 percent, 40 times more for the women who'd had the abortion pill. And yet we pretend that this is about women's health. This is one of the lies. He actually, this guy actually wrote the book on abortion. His book's title was Abortion Practice. And he's been very blunt about what he does.

Destroying babies in the womb at 22, 25, or even 30 weeks can be hard work, he said. He said the sensation of dismemberment flows through the forceps like electric current. He talks about how he can feel the baby struggling as he's ripping it apart with his forceps like this as he's reaching up there and ripping the leg off he says he can feel it going through the forceps like an electric current oh i bet he does even somebody who is hardened like this can't have a conscience that is so hardened that he doesn't see that. While the still-thriving abortion industry employs euphemistic terms like fetus in order to deny the humanity of unborn children, others are awakening to the dark truth about abortion, including late-term abortions.

Abortion, the destruction of an innocent unborn baby, is always gravely immoral and never intended not uh never needed nor justifiable i should say including for alleged anomalies for which a fatally ill child could be treated with palliative care even rather than brutally murdered yeah that's the key thing now we look at that that doesn't affect some people amazingly enough and a lot of people are not affected when they see bombs exploding fireballs nuclear mushroom clouds that doesn't bother them any either right some christians are murder at a distance west virginia again constitutional amendment banning euthanasia and so i thought it was interesting you know we talk about abortion we talk about slavery we talk about euthanasia we talk about war christians have always had something to do to influence the culture in a positive way

until just recently like i said we've got a lot of christians who want war in the middle east for political israel for a political israel a political israel and um he had um actor Rees-Davies, I guess is the way he pronounced it. He was the guy who played, you've seen him in a lot of different movies, but he played Gimli the dwarf in Lord of the Rings. He also did the voice of Treebeard

in Lord of the Rings. And he was on a show, he just did yet another audio tape of Christmas Carol that he reads. He's got an excellent voice, as you'll hear here. But he talked about civilization. He said he's absolutely in love with a study of European Christian civilization. And so this is what he had to say about Christianity's effect on civilization. And he's not a Christian, by the way.

He's one of these people who wants the fruit but not the root of Christianity. I am absolutely in love with Western European Christian civilization, which has given us and the world these glorious things like the right of the individual conscience, the right of free speech, the right of free assembly, democracy, the abolition of slavery, the concept of a just morally and justly that there has ever been on earth. battle between freedom, the real individual freedom, and that conscious need to ask ourselves how do we live justly, how do we live morally. And I don't mean in that narrow, you know, thou shalt not, you know, spit in the gutter on Sunday or anything like that. I mean in the general sense, that constant battle that we have. What is the right thing to do is central in the great civilizations. Yeah, it's been central to our civilization, hasn't it? Civilization based on Christian principles.

And he enumerates many of those. The right of individual conscience. The right of free speech. The right of free assembly. The abolition of slavery. The concept of a just war. Those are things that Christian principles have brought to us. That's one of the reasons why C.S. Lewis said, well, you can't say that Jesus was just a great philosopher.

He's either a liar, a lunatic, or he's Lord. And when you look at these Christian principles, you think that this was a lie? he's either a liar, a lunatic, or he's Lord. And when you look at these Christian principles, you think that this was a lie? Would liars come up with these types of principles? I don't believe so. Of course, there's many other evidences, but I mean, that's just his logical approach to it.

Like Richard Dawkins, this Rhys Davies says, he loves the fruit of Christianity. Richard Dawkins says, oh, I love Christmastime. I love the Christmas carols and all the rest of the stuff. I love the architecture of these great churches that were built by a civilization, folks, that is dead. Civilization that built that architecture and things like that is as dead as the people who lived there. That has not been passed on to us. We have rejected that in the West.

And so when you look at these buildings, even though they are more recent and better preserved, have no more to do with the people who are living today in any of these countries than the ruins of the Roman Empire from thousands of years ago. Civilizations have been lost. Are we going to lose all these other aspects of it? Are we going to lose the right of conscience, the right of free speech, the right of free assembly, abolition of slavery? They we going to lose the right of conscience, the right of free speech, the right of free assembly,

abolition of slavery? They're going to bring slavery back if we don't stand against it. And it'll be the worst form of slavery we have ever seen, the technocracy. And then, of course, the idea of a just war,

that we do not preemptively strike somebody. What a euphemism that is. We don't engage in that kind of infamous behavior to strike first. And when we have a war, we seek to end the hostilities as soon as possible. We seek to avoid harming people who are civilians and noncombatants. But not anymore. Not anymore. It's become our policy to attack civilians. It's become our policy to strike first.

And so, in terms of a personal aspect, it was kind of touching to see him talk about all these things from a distance and the guy who was interviewing him because they put this together it was um um hope media group or something some christian group that uh put this together they've also got uh sean aston who was also in lord of the rings played sam. He's also one of the voices in this. Sounds like a pretty good radio theater. We always used to love radio theater in my family. We were always in the car. We were always traveling. And I went back to try to find,

I liked the old 1940s radio stuff because they got people who had very interesting voices in terms of character. And although the plots are kind of silly and naive, no different than a TV sitcom. But they did have interesting voices. And so the kids used to enjoy that kind of stuff. So we like audio theater a lot. But it was a Christian group that was doing this.

And so the guy asked him some questions about himself. He said, because he began by saying, before he talked about the fruit of Christianity, he says, I don't have the gift of faith, he says. And so the guy asked him about that. And here's what he had to say. I was born a Welsh Protestant. The truth of the matter is, I'm not good enough to be a Christian. And I see no chance of changing my wicked ways either. I only have two more minutes here.

Well, he has an interesting voice, doesn't he? I'm not good enough to be a Christian. Nobody is. Are you going to clean up your act before you become a Christian? A lot of people think that, actually. I've got to fight these demons on my own and clean myself up before I become a Christian. Once I get that done, I'm going to become a Christian. Once I get that done, I'm going to become a Christian. It doesn't work that way. Nobody is righteous, not one. We've all

sinned. We've all fallen short of the glory of God. Christianity is not about you working your way to heaven. It's not about you cleaning up your act. It's about you accepting the free gift of Christ. What do you think we have the tradition of giving gifts? I mean, it really is a free gift. And that's what it's about. So he may see the results of Christian civilization. Again, the right of individual conscience, the right of free speech, the right of free assembly,

the idea of a just war, ending slavery. He may see all these things, but he doesn't understand that it was how this works. First comes the free gift. And then after you understand that, that really changes your life. And then, of course, Christ works in your life to change you. And that's a lifelong process for each and every person. Nobody achieves perfection. That's a lifelong issue. But the salvation is free. And it's so sad to see him do that. And, of course, the other guy says, well, I don't have any more time with you, but I really wish we could have coffee together

sometimes so I could talk to you about this. It like yeah it it really uh breaks your heart interesting thing is that um he's got the different approach than trump trump doesn't think he needs forgiveness john reese davies if i'm pronouncing his name correctly uh he thinks that he's too wicked to be forgiven isn't that interesting those are the two different things that can keep people away from the free gift of salvation, isn't it? Conservative thinker, thank you for the tip. He says, 45,000 minutes in a month at minimum wage. You only need to work 41 minutes a month to support the David Knight show of $5 a month. Well, thank you very much.

I appreciate that calculation there. It's much less than the taxes. And we're trying to set things up so that I know that a lot of people who listen on the podcast, we have for people on Subscribestar, we give them a link to the audio podcast. We give them a link that doesn't have any ads in it. The other ones, they do have ads. And we're setting this up so that people have an opportunity to, if you want to listen to it for free, you can do it with ads. But if you want to get it without ads, for $5, you'll be able to do that.

Because if some, we looked at it and we said, we can't just turn the ads off because um it's too important to our income stream and um so it uh but uh when we looked at it and said well how much are we making off of this if somebody were to listen to every single broadcast and every single commercial it'd be less than a dollar uh to. So that would be a big help. And of course, it varies by season, depending on sometimes, like first of the year, January, ads just disappear completely. Atomic Dog, thank you also for that.

Help David expose the truth behind the escalating conflict in Ukraine by liking the video, sharing it on social media, and subscribing. It all helps. Thank you so much for reminding me atomic dog and thank you all for liking and sharing the video um and 12 june 1776 thank you very much for that tip i appreciate that we support no lessers of evil uh secluded oyster says dav, I love the seasonal intermission. Well, so do I. So let's have another one, and then we will come back. Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show well about uh nearly a week ago this story came out about people being burned to death in a tesla

as the electronic doors would not open and i want to go back and cover it as a lead-up to what is going on with elon musk with the um and the things that he's going to be getting for his nearly $200 million is what some people are saying. I saw the figure at $130 million, but I just saw an article here saying nearly $200 million. I don't know how much he gave Trump. But terrified friends burned to death in a Tesla as the electronic doors would not open after a crash. The only survivor was a woman in her 20s who was able to get to safety after a quick-thinking passerby smashed a window of the burning Model Y car to free her. Four friends died in the horrific car fire after they were unable to escape from a burning Tesla when a crash disabled its electronic doors. You can't physically open these doors.

They have to be opened up electronically. You talk about a silly, so much about the design of the Teslas is so focused on gadgets and gizmos that I think they've taken it to an extreme, a silly extreme. You can't even adjust the air vents without using the touchscreen in the middle of the car, which is a distraction. But of course, you've got the autopilot, which also doesn't work too well. But I like the car itself. a very good friend of mine has one and he let me drive it and it is a different kind of driving experience because it's super

fast in terms of acceleration it felt like I was inside an electric slot car that I used to play with as a toy because as soon as you ease off of the gas, it starts slowing down. It doesn't coast. You know, it's exactly the opposite of my Miata, which is a momentum car, right? It doesn't have a lot of acceleration, but you keep that momentum, including going around the curves. And so it's a completely opposite experience. And it was nice. It was a nice drive great handling car

a very low center of gravity so um all that was really cool steve wozniak said i love my tesla but he says don't um don't use the autopilot it's trying to kill you said that early on but this is a different issue and my friend who has the tesla already got stuck in his car uh when the doors would not open and we have everything under electronic control everything is under software control i don't like that idea uh so he's um uh he tries to get out of the car and the door won't open and so he fortunately had his cell phone with him and he called tech support and he said he was stuck in that car for quite some time while they worked with the computer and downloaded some stuff or changed something so that he could open

the door well when the car is on fire you don't have the ability to do that. And, you know, it just came out yesterday that the death rate of fatal accidents in Teslas is twice the average. Twice the average. Higher than any other car and twice the average. So there's some real issues with it. Four other friends identified as 25-year-old, his sister, who was 29, and two other people all lost their lives in the incident. A Canada Post employee heroically used a metal pole to smash the car window, freeing the woman.

And in an interview with the Toronto Star, he told reporters she couldn't open the doors from the inside of the crashed Tesla. He described how the woman, the only survivor of the wreck, scrambled out of the car headfirst after he smashed the window he said he didn't know anybody else was in the car at the time because the smoke was so thick she must have been the driver in the u.s there are nine investigations involving tesla model y ranging from unexpected brake activation to sudden unintended acceleration. In the event of a crash, passengers are directed to pull away a palin in the door and to tug at a cable

underneath in order to open the doors. But safety watchdogs have said dazed or panicked crash victims may not be able to search for the feature after a car crash. And I don't think all the Tesla owners say, oh, by the way, in case of a crash, you need to pull off this panel here. And then there's a wire down there. And then you pull that up to get out of the door in case it's stuck. But again, incinerated. So I mentioned that because I wanted to talk about what Elon Musk is going to get out of this stuff. Crowded roads in the U.S. cities are about to get worse as another fleet of self-driving cars is going to roll out for testing.

And yet another driverless taxi company is going to be coming in. This one is called Zoox, Z-o-o-x a transportation company owned by amazon they began their robo taxi tests last week but of course elon musk less than a month before the election did his we robots thing we talked about the robots and stuff but he also had a robo taxi that was there a car that has two seats no back window no steering wheel no brakes no gas pedal nothing to drive it with and then he's also got a van that carries 20 people so he wants to get into the driverless car business in a big way not every waymo passenger had good things to say about the driverless cars in san francisco residents were left furious by beeping problems on the vehicles they would all go into a parking

lot and start beeping their horn they've had other situations where they all go to one intersection and just stay there and clog everything up people hate these things so much we've shown the videos of them taking traffic cones and putting them on the car which just freezes it can't see anything you know just it's like you know picking a dog up and holding them over water you know how they go out and they don't know what to do well that's the way the driverless cars are when you put a traffic cone on them. Neighbors next to a parking lot for the driverless Jaguars that Waymo has complained about hearing boop noises. That's what they say, boop, not beep, from the vehicles as they vehicles that they lit one of the Waymo SUVs ablaze by setting off fireworks inside one of the taxis.

Californians have been angry to learn that self-driving vehicles cannot be ticketed, no matter what they do. No matter how they hold up traffic, if they get confused at a four-way stop or something like that no matter what they do they cannot be ticketed despite investigators finding reports of the driverless cars swerving into construction zones and running red lights well so where does musk come into all of this when Trump won, Tesla stock surged. Why? Because the expectation is that the Trump administration is going to remove regulations that are preventing the major rollout of self-driving cars everywhere.

So it won't just be local places like San Francisco and Austin where they're begging for this stuff. No, they get rid of the regulations so that Elon Musk and his pals can put them everywhere. Shares of Tesla jumped more than 8% in early morning trading because of Trump's win. Members of the Trump transition team have told advisors that they plan to make autonomous vehicles one of the Transportation Department's priorities. Why do I oppose this stuff? Well, because it's all part of the smart cities. That's one of the key things.

Smart cities. We will control everything. It's like the outer limits. You better head for the outer limits. Because we control the horizontal. We control the vertical. And for the rest of your life, we're going to tell you everything that you can and cannot do. And the smart cities, that's the purpose of the smart cities.

Now, Trump is not going to call them smart cities. Trump is how they rebrand everything. You see, the Republicans are going to rebrand the green agenda. Oh, it'll all be about you use whatever you want to do, any kind of form of energy. But of course, you'll have to pay Trump and his corporate friends for carbon capture or for carbon credits. And they've already got the blockchain set up to track everything that you do. So it's very different isn't it it's not like these ham-fisted dictators like sadiq khan or um huckleberry in new york or newsom in california no no no or biden and lala no they're not going to mandate it for you they're going to let you have the choice. You just have to pay them, you see.

And so it'll be the same way with the Trump freedom cities. Because the freedom cities and smart cities, it's all about packing you into a 15-minute city. And if you take a ride on anything, it'll be owned by some technocrat billionaire who is a friend of the regime that's why elon musk is doing all this stuff musk said he believes the future is automated electric vehicles he said non-autonomous gas vehicles in the future gasoline vehicles will be like riding a horse and using a flip phone hey don't knock it, pal. I think flip phones are better than these smartphones. And the time is probably rapidly approaching when we'll all be saying, a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.

You know, that was the thing when they redid that scene and you had Emma Cullen did it. And it was brilliant um and uh when he did he did it in a contemporary milieu and so he had um it was done like 1930s britain okay and richard third was uh a um a fascist neo-nazi type of guy right and so you're looking at this and the one line that everybody remembers well there's a couple memorable lines in it but there's one line that are my horse my horse a king my kingdom for a horse right and so everybody's riding around in vehicles it's 1930s and i'm thinking how are they going to work that into it and uh what they did was during the battle he's on a he's in a vehicle and you know they get hit he can't move it you know and it's stuck and an exasperation he says

a horse a horse my kingdom for words if i just had a horse to get out of here well you're gonna you're gonna be saying that if these people get their way musk got 1515 billion richer after Trump's election victory because of Tesla stock going up, making him well worth over $300 billion now, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. Tesla stock has appreciated by nearly 30% since Trump defeated Lala. So there you go. He's well on his way to getting all of his money back. And it's just streets of gold from here on out for this guy. The federal government has put up significant red tape for companies like Tesla who want to sell vehicles

without steering wheels or foot pedals and do it at an industrial scale. So don't worry, Trump's going to make all that stuff go away because we don't like any regulation. Think about what Reason was saying about the pharmaceutical industry and how, oh, well, you know, RFK Jr., he doesn't understand what the problems are. You know, the problems are not that we greenlight, that the FDA greenlights stuff without doing any testing.

Oh, no, they're taking too long we need to do less testing we need to do less inspection we just need to let this stuff all go that was what reason magazine was saying so you got a lot of libertarians and conservatives who think like that and uh so they're going to look at this and say that's great trump's going to get rid of all this stuff which is we're going to ride our autonomous vehicles owned by the technocrats. We're going to ride them into the future because you will own nothing. And they will tell you when and where you can travel and how much it's going to cost you. Most newer Teslas come with full self-driving.

Well, again, that's the idea but um not actually so um the system however has not been perfected yet again steve wozniak co-founder of apple said i love my tesla but that's self-driving that stuff's trying to kill you one man claimed that his tesla didn't slow down when there was a train crossing the road, forcing him to swerve at the last second to save himself. And he had that recorded on video because the video is always on. It wasn't that he claimed it. He showed it. In July, a Tesla Model S that was on full self-driving mode crashed into a motorcyclist in Seattle and killed him. So this is the Daily Mail. And it said, either way, an act of Congress would be necessary in order to pave the way

for mass adoption of autonomous vehicles. No, it wouldn't. You would think that we would have to have an act of Congress to get us into the climate treaty, the Paris Climate Treaty. No, that didn't do that. Does Congress act anymore? No. Congress holds hearings.

And then Congress does, just like Nancy Pelosi, we've got to pass Obamacare to find out what's in it. We're going to say we want Obamacare, then we'll send it over to the bureaucracy, and then they'll write all the rules and regulations. That's the way it works. Congress isn't going to be involved in all of this. This will go through the administrative state. The administrative state, the Department of Transportation, these other things are the ones who are putting rules in there.

Congress doesn't write. This is Daily Mail. They're in the UK. They don't know anything. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are just as ignorant. Emil Mikhail, a former uber executive reportedly one of the top contenders to become transportation secretary well there you go except it didn't go to him i believe it went to someone else but the fact that they would look at

an uber executive tells you everything right it was the was the founder of Uber, Travis Kalalnick, who said, you know what makes our cars expensive? It's that other dude in the car. We're going to get rid of him. We're going to have self-driving cars. You think your prices are going to go down when that happens? When you've got a monopoly or a duopoly of these car companies there you know the other part of it too and this came out um a reporter uh showed that well they removed it after it was reported i should say but uber was actually bragging about their ability to track people they said well we've anonymized the data but take a look at this

you know we've looked at traffic patterns around holidays, city by city, and then we broke it down holiday by holiday as well. And said, when we were looking at that for business purpose, all anonymized, of course, we noticed that we'll call them rides of glory. We noticed that a lot of times late night, people would take a Uber taxi to an address that was not their own. And they would stay there for a couple of hours. And then in the wee hours of the morning, they would go home. Oh, well, we think that they're having some kind of a sexual liaison there. So we'll call this rides of glory.

That's the way that these people operate. They look at everything. They have a big board, not like Strangelove, but they've got the big board there. They call it the God view, where they can see everything that everybody's doing. That's what all these technocrats want. That's what they want with the carbon credits and the carbon taxes and the carbon capture and all the rest of that stuff. They want to be able to see everything that you do. And the blockchain combined with this green grift is going to give them that kind of insight.

And it will be used for control eventually. In the same way that Trump created the vaccine and then Biden mandates it, Trump is going to create the public-private CBDC and then some Democrat down the road will mandate it for everybody and make it official. One last thing, you know, not just Uber, but Lyft.

That was either the CEO, he was the CEO, I think he was the founder of it as well. He was a guy who was an urban planner by education. And urban planners hate cars. And he wrote an essay talking about how he said, the city is the best invention of mankind, and the car is the worst invention of mankind.

We've got to eliminate them. And I've heard that all of my life, going back to even before I had a car these crazies and the green movement that was you know they got to kill all the people and get rid of the cars that was their their big goals the futuristic autonomous car has no steering wheel pedals or rear window and there's just enough room for two passengers that's the one that uh that elon musk announced in october and he brags that um it costs only 20 cents per mile to run oh well that's assuming that you've got any power on the grid when everybody's using electric everything and you're shutting down the power generation

stations oh well it only takes 20 cents per, assuming that you can even get any electricity. How much is it going to cost? If it's scarce, don't you think they will ration it by price? Of course they will. It's not going to cost 20 cents a mile. The final chapter of the EV price war was realized after reports suggest the Trump team will eliminate the $7,500 consumer tax credit next year.

Guess what? That's not going to hurt Tesla. As a matter of fact, it'll hurt Tesla's competition more than Tesla. Tesla is the only EV company that can survive in a world without the tax credit. And I think that they have already used up their tax credit. I think they limited it to a certain number of vehicles, and I think they already used all those. So it's only his competitors who are getting the tax credit. His competitors need it.

I mean, they're losing a tremendous amount of money per vehicle as it is, even with that credit. Furthermore, at the end of last week, Gwen Shotwell, president of SpaceX. Yeah, she must have gotten that job just because of her last name i'm gonna it's a moonshot it's shot well okay told investors that the company plans 400 starship launches during trump's second term so much for climate gases right and that's not counting the 20 000 starlink satellites that he wants to launch and yet he's become the world's richest man by playing this co2 gas lighting game elon musk could benefit from trump's fcc nominee brendan carr as well see doge is not about department of of um uh department of government efficiency it's the department of government Doge is not about Department of Government Efficiency. It's the Department of Government Exploitation.

Exploiting government to become even richer. Carr is a Republican who's long pushed a more conservative vision for the FCC, claiming in recent days that he wants to dismantle a censorship cartel that is biased against Trump, he says. Well, the FCC is not censoring yet. There have been indications in the past where they've sent flyers out to under Obama. They sent out some feelers to news stations that tell us how you put together the news. And people replied and said, it's none of your business.

You're the FCC. You're here to allocate frequencies and to make sure that people are staying within their lane, right? But not content. You don't have anything to say about content. And more recently, we've just had the FCC send out a questionnaire again to Christian radio stations wanting to know about their DEI for hiring and everything which is not their uh their their their responsibility at all either there's already the eeoc if they want to harass people about that but so far they're not what is causing the censorship that's not where the censorship is coming from um brendan carr has also regularly spoken out in favor of Musk and his companies, particularly Starlink.

He said the Biden administration has used regulatory harassment against Starlink. Musk's companies do extensive business with the federal government, and Starlink stands to financially benefit from a friendly FCC leader after the company previously lost out, listen to this, on an $885 million rural broadband subsidy. Nearly a billion dollar subsidy. Because the Democrats gave it to the people who gave them money. It was the Democrat control board deciding who was going to get the subsidy. This is why you see Elon Musk making these moves. It's all about the subsidies, stupid.

So, as H.L. Mencken says, it's a gift that keeps coming. An election is an advanced auction of stolen goods. And that is always true. Always true. So where does this go? Billionaires like Elon Musk don't just think they're better than the rest of us. They actually hate us. This is coming from The Guardian.

More importantly, they hate God and they think that they will be God real soon now. They're going to merge with machines. Former Republican presidential candidate says, we need walkable cities. American cities are too dependent on cars. Who says so? Well, North Dakota governor and former Republican presidential candidate Doug Burgum. Here we are to the smart cities again, the 15-minute cities. No cars.

No cars. See? See how, isn't it nice that we don't have to worry about the green agenda anymore because now we've got all Republicans in? They do, the Republican-Democrat shuffle, and they're just going to repackage all this stuff for their own benefit.

Burgum says American cities are too dependent on cars americans experience walkable urbanism whenever they travel and they lament that they can't have it where they live you know we've been to london several times can i and um had to walk everywhere or you know sometimes we would take the double-decker bus and or the subway or something like the tube that they have uh but we never came back and said, boy, I sure hate having to drive a car. You know, we came back and said, it's great having a car to be able to go anywhere I want, whenever I want, on my schedule. So I don't know where Doug Burgum is coming from. I know what he wants.

Doug Burgum joined several other governors of both parties, the Un uniparty at a forum to discuss their respective housing challenges at the 2024 national governors association winter meeting and again the uniparty wants to lock us all up in the smart cities the plenary session was moderated by colorado governor jared paulus so you got these people are supposed to be polar opposites of each other oh we got jared paulus he's a radical lefty and we got bergham on the right now bergham then delivered a no-nonsense history lesson on 20th century development he said in america we invented zoning and that was great for people that built roads and it was great for the car companies he said but he said we built cities all over america that are designed for automobiles and

not designed for people now what we did was um you know real americans like thomas jefferson said cities are a threat to the health the the wealth, and the liberty of man. They're filled with disease. They're expensive to live in. And they're confining. We don't want to be in the city. And when it was an opportunity for people to be able to own a car cheaply and have a cheap house that was built in the suburbs,

you look like Levittown, people trying to, let's get out of New York City and let's go to Long Island and get to the suburbs and everything. It started happening everywhere. See, people want that freedom. People want a little bit more space. People want to have that type of thing. Some people don't want to commute. They can live in the city. It's the choice that people make. But the reason that we have suburbs and exurbs they call them now the rural areas they call them exurbs because everything's got to be centered all their thinking is centered on the herbs so you're either in the herb or you're in the sub herb or you're in

the exurb everything's going to be urban and that's where their mind is but the people don't think that way and they're very intolerant of that they're going to try to force and coerce us into that and so doug bergham hates cars and he loves 15 minute cities and he's going to be a part of the trump administration he's going to be a part of he's got some energy grift that he's going to be running as part of this carbon capture stuff. So he built cities all over America designed for automobiles and not designed for people. No, they were designed for people to have freedom. And people chose this.

People chose to live in the suburbs or the exurbs because they didn't want to live in the urbs. We don't put the investment into building the infrastructure for multimodal transportation, he says. So here's this Republican, you know, in rural, mostly rural North Dakota. Oh, we need to have public transportation, all the rest of this stuff. I remember in Raleigh, you had the Democrats running the town council, tried to get a monorail in Raleigh. And it's like, it was such a ridiculous trend that even the Simpsons made fun of it. These boondoggle monorail projects. Well, here's Doug Burgum. Our housing costs are high in part because of the way that we've designed our cities.

No, the housing prices are high because you have put needless regulations on building that we don't need. And a lot of those needless regulations are because of energy savings. Well, you know what? Maybe we could buy the house and live in it and gradually add insulation or something to it. You don't have to mandate that. Let people make that decision on their own. Several governors praise the efforts of another Republican, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte,

in passing substantial zoning reform last year. Now, this zoning stuff. Andrew Yang, when he ran in 2020, he ran, first of of all on universal basic income and i had him scheduled to come on the show and he canceled at the very last minute and i he left me high and dry just like um uh what's his name uh what's that rfk yeah yeah it wasn't rfk no it was um the uh rfk did that to us as well no it's fetterman who did it to um i'm trying to think of the guy um john stewart uh fetterman canceled on him and

john stewart's like i don't know what to do he's got a he's got a half hour show that's got 10 minutes worth of commercials and he can figure out what to do so he does this whole monologue about how federman just canceled on him at the last minute uh but um uh andrew yang canceled on me uh because i wanted to talk to him about universal basic income and so that was the only thing that he was talking about and when he was talking about universal basic income guess what elon musk gave him over a million dollars elon mus was his entire budget because Elon Musk was on board with this universal basic income. Just like Michael Bloomberg, who said, yeah, the smart ones of us, people like me and people like Elon Musk, we're out there to try to take everybody's jobs. You know, we had an agrarian society. Then we had the Industrial Revolution.

Now we're at the point where the smart ones of us want to take everybody's jobs, and we just got to figure out how to keep them pacified so they don't come after us with guillotines. And so Bloomberg wants universal basic income. Musk wants universal basic income. Musk gives this guy millions of dollars to talk about that. And then he starts to expand his campaign. You know the next thing he started talking about, Andrew Yang, zoning. Why zoning? Well, because with zoning, they can destroy property values. They can put high density housing out in the suburban areas.

And that's why these Republicans are pushing against that. Now, you know, you have a lot of I know lived in Houston and and they didn't have any kind of zoning and it was kind of crazy the purpose of it there because you could have and you did have situation where there would be a church and right next to it would be a strip bar you know um makes it easy for some of these tv evangelists i guess but anyway the uh uh you get really strange combinations of things whatever um i'm you know i i don't like controlling people's private property rights i'm not supporting zoning i'm just saying the reason these people are attacking zoning is because they want to use it to destroy single-family homes that's their goal in doing that. And so don't get caught up.

When they tell you that, oh, well, we're going to have this blockchain currency, and so you can buy carbon credits from us, and you can choose to use any form of energy you want. See, it's all about free choice. No, what they're doing is they're setting a trap for you. When they talk about, well, we're going to get rid of the zoning, it's not about the freedom aspect of it. It used to be that.

These people, when they're talking about it, when they're talking about it in conjunction with getting rid of cars and creating cities and how cities are the ultimate invention of mankind, that's what they're using the attacks on zoning for. And so, Gianforte the montana governor connected housing policy with an end gold end goal that has almost 100 approval he said we want our nurses teachers and police officers to live in the community where they work now let's decode that we're talking about 15 minute cities that's really what they're talking about and And so Shadow Boxer says, I own an electric bike. It's a lot of fun.

The battery does require special treatment. They're tricky. I would not own a Tesla. Well, just be careful with your electric bike. Charge it inside your house because we've had so many. And it's not, you know, you might have a better model than these, you know, rental ones that get a lot of abuse and start a lot of fires in New York City and burn down buildings and have killed people with that. But that's the issue, is that the lithium battery is very, very fragile, really. McGowan fan says, David, please post this segment on your site regarding tesla i want people to see

this on a g-man gm inside news car site okay we'll put it up um matthew ronson says the national highway traffic safety administration found that 27 people died in rear-end collisions involving Ford Pintos between 1970 and mid-1977. That's right. And they came in, and it was, when they went through the stuff, they found that it was a cheap part. It was only just a few dollars that Ford knew about and could have fixed it. But they said, that'll cost us more to do that on all of the Pintos than it will for us to pay for the lawsuits.

And, you know, that became legendary in terms of the callousness of corporations towards safety in the automotive industry. But then take a look at the fact that nobody went to jail for that. They didn't put a fine against them. And look at what they did to Volkswagen. Over $4 billion in fines. They've got criminal charges still against some of the volkswagen executives and they browbeat them into making electric cars because they um

did not want the diesel cars eric peters and i've talked about that many times um blk mjk wmn wouldn't even step inside one of those microwave emitting machines if people realized how much EMF they're receiving from that battery. I don't think they would either. That's another good point. Brian Demikartney, David, you should check out the totaled Tesla refurb market. All of them are going to Ukraine. They're going to drive.

They're going to set them on self-drive and drive them towards Russia and wait until they explode. And then create this massive wave of fires that nobody can put out. The ultimate weapon. The Tesla drones. All of them are going to Ukraine to be sold on a new market after being repaired. Less regulation regarding battery issues and titles i bet they may learn their lesson poor people of ukraine they're being taken advantage of in so many different ways uh mcgurn fan david my wife visited phoenix where company cul-de-sac

exhibited what seemed like a smart city she says creepy like a prison ph. Phoenix is a smart city. I wonder, is that the TMSC, I think it is? No, TSMC, the Taiwan Civic Conductor Manufacturing Company that's set up this gigantic, made a big commitment to this factory city that's there. I wonder if that's what that is. That's in Phoenix. I've talked about that before. Do not obey.

I know they got started a smart city in tempe and all the college libtards love it they have been brainwashed at all that's right yeah we want to be able to walk everywhere well sometimes that's nice and sometimes not so much uh we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Stay on climate for a little bit longer because we have Aaron Day who's going to be joining us. I should have announced this sooner. He's going to be joining us at the top of the hour because he wanted to talk about pardons for a lot of people who have become political prisoners in the war against crypto.

This is primarily a Democrat war, but of course, you know, this is stretched over a period of time, and a lot of these people have been prosecuted during Republican administration of Trump. So it's not just Ross Ulbrich. We're going to be talking about some of the other people that are there aaron day who focuses on alternatives to the luciferium banknotes as tony arteman calls you know gold silver and crypto bitcoin and so he's going to be talking about the government's moves to criminalize and and the fact that they have prosecuted and locked up a lot of people simply because you're using cryptocurrency by the way um if you want to take advantage of the black friday sale on gold that is happening now and it has now climbed back it went down like you know 2500 something it's now back i think above 26 i looked at it i don't

run to the ticker tape all the time like scrooge McDuck to see where gold is. That's a measure of the volatility of stock markets and the Federal Reserve. Gold is gold, and it keeps its value, and it's kept its value over centuries. And so if you want to get into something that is solid, that is safe, that is analog and not digital, that is outside of the system, all those advantages of gold. You can go to davidknight.gold. Tony has kindly set that up.

That'll take you to Wise Wolf. And you can buy gold or silver, small or large amounts. You can also join Wolfpack, which is something unique that Tony offers. You decide at what tier you would like to contribute each month to gradually set aside gold or silver. And what you do as part of that group, you take advantage of a group buying situation. And so that's a really nice thing that Tony has set up at Wise Wolf. Again, go to davidknight.gold. He knows that you you're coming through us and let's talk a little bit more about this green grift we had al gore at the un climate summit now we're talking about cop you know we were talking about the other climate summit you know which basically they turned the g20 into a

climate summit there in brazil at the amazon i guess people are still looking to see if they can find where joe b is. Good riddance. Former Vice President Al Gore raged against polluters during his address at the UN Climate Change Conference in Azerbaijan. COP 29. I can't remember. Was it 28, 29? It's COP 29. The 29 summit featured speakers who proposed taxes on meat and dairy and also about reparations which

biden just did and made an announcement there in brazil four billion dollars to people for the sin of having manufactured things in the past but don't worry we've all we've sent all of our manufacturing off to china it'll be fine from here on out because it doesn't matter. You know, their their excrement doesn't stink. Right. The fact that the scientists who predicted all of this decades ago, said Al Gore, have been proven dead right. No, they haven't. I mean, I use him as the poster child of the false climate prophets.

His inconvenient truth. He starts it out with this big wall that's based on the so-called hockey stick by Michael Mann, showing an exponential increase in temperature along with CO2 going up. Well, guess what? CO2 went up a good bit. Temperature didn't. Michael Mann is wrong. 20 years ago, one of the, and of course, Al Gore said, well, there's not going to be any ice on the glaciers. They had to take down the National Park plaques that were saying, you know, have a good look at the glacier right now. It's all going to be gone by 2020 uh so they took those things down in 2019 they said all the ice was going to be gone they said there was going to be no snow

anymore rfk jr even said that that's generation is never going to be able to play in the snow anymore well we're all just looking at this next snowstorm that's supposed to hit mid-atlantic down to where we are as a of fact. So everything that they've said has been a lie. I mean, we talk about this all the time. Every year when we come around time to the first Earth Day on April the 20th, we always go back and look at all of the false prophecies of these people. And understand, they are prophecies. This is a religion for them.

But Al Gore is out there claiming that they all got it right and he gets away with this he can you know lie like that and nobody calls him out on it really uh well this is interesting because this is from alex newman and um alex newman went to he always goes to these different climate summits and reports directly on them. And it's very important what he saw there. And so he went to COP 28, 29, COP 29. And he said, guess what? There were Republican lawmakers there. Republican members of Congress were there.

And embracing the Democrats' war on CO2. That's right. Like I said, that's just a spin. And he explains all that here. First of all, he said Republican lawmakers arrived at the 29th annual U.N. Climate Summit in the wake of Trump's victory. However, GOP congressmen also appeared to embrace Democrat climate policies. Even the UN-backed government controls on carbon dioxide, a gas that is known to scientists as the gas of life.

Republicans offered no resistance to the increasingly discredited hypothesis that human emission of CO2 is a pollution that endangers life on earth exactly the opposite aside from the vows to expand energy production the remarks by gop congressmen are sharply out of touch with the americans in general and especially with their own constituents who voted for them see this is the cognitive dissonance. Most Americans don't even believe that man-made global warming hypothesis,

and this is especially true among Republicans, only a third of them believe this theory. As I said before, the Republicans have to get behind you so they can pick your wallet and stab you in the back. That's what they're for. The Democrats will come straight after you.

We're going to ban this. We're going to ban this. We're going to ban that. We're going to, Republicans, no, no, no, and I'll be choice. But you'll have to pay me and you have to pay my friends like Elon Musk and others like that. Oh, and we're going to set up a blockchain to track all your payments and know everything that you're doing. But, you know, we would never mandate any of that stuff.

We'll leave that for the Democrats who come in next. It's the one-two punch that they always do. The GOP congressional delegation would not even commit to overturning the Democrats highly controversial Inflation Reduction Act, so-called. Alex Newman says this is exactly what Senator Chris Coons predicted last year in response to a question from the New american uh in at cop 28 in dubai about trump returning to the white house thanks to the handouts under the ira even republican districts are now hooked he said and will continue to move forward regardless of whether trump is elected said democrat senator chris coons of delaware it's kind of the same thing that Biden said, you know, when he was there. I played this clip for you earlier there in the Amazon.

Yeah, I'm in office in January. I will have my I will leave my successor and my country in a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true. Some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's underway in America. But nobody, nobody can reverse it. Nobody. Yeah. Well, he could be talking about the Paris Climate Accord.

Nobody can reverse it. We've set that in place, right? During his remarks, House Energy Committee Chairman August Pfluger from Texas, I wonder if that's Pflugerville, Pfluger, who led the congressional delegation to the UN Climate Summit repeatedly touted technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. And even when asked directly, Pfluger did not comment on what Trump may do on, quote, climate finance, which, as Alex Newman points out, is merely wealth redistribution, or what he might do about the UN-Paris accord or agreement when in actuality it's a treaty. And then, as I said, Alex Newman got it right. Thank you, Alex Newman.

He said the UN deal adopted in 2015 without u.s senate ratification uh saw then president obama promising to slash u.s emissions and energy use and using executive orders folks it's not a legitimate treaty we're not in it thank you alex for saying as i said before only alex new, myself, and Steve Malloy point out that we're not in this treaty. Stop pretending we're in the treaty. If you're pretending that we're in the treaty, you're part of the problem. You're somebody who is part of this UN agenda. Communist Chinese rulers and other geopolitical foes, meanwhile, have promised to keep increasing their own CO2 output, says Alex Newman.

And he's absolutely right. Several lawmakers did point out that handing over economic dominance to the CCP under the guise of climate was foolish. But Pfluger noted Congress has the power to repeal broad segments of Biden's climate schemes, including the Inflation Reduction Act, widely known as the single most significant federal climate legislation in history. But he says they're probably not going to do it. That's what he said. Ironically, the Democratic climate scheme,

masquerading as inflation reduction, poured fuel on the fire of inflation by spending more money and driving up energy prices. Pfluger did not offer any firm or specific commitments about which of the Democrats' inflation-fueling energy policies might be rolled back, if any. Instead, they're going to have their own climate scheme that will masquerade as choice. Buying into the underlying narrative pushed by the UN and its allies, Pfluger repeatedly boasted about how we have reduced U.S. emissions as if it were something to gloat about. Since 2007, our CO2 emissions, he said, have declined by 14.5%.

He gushed. While he did not specifically say why he thought the steep reductions in CO2 output were something to brag about, the Texas congressman said it was a testament to American businesses seeking a cleaner, more sustainable future. It was not clear what he thought was dirty or unsustainable about CO2, which is exhaled by all people and required by all plants. Folks, when you look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals, all of that is a lie. First of all, their ideas are not sustainable. They can't sustain manufacturing.

They can't sustain society with their prescriptions and their mandates and their bans and their subsidies. It's not sustainable. None of this stuff is workable. And it's not about development. It's about deindustrialization. It's about destroying our society, not about developing it. And they're not goals. They're mandates.

So it's not sustainable development goals it is unsustainable destruction mandates that's what's coming from the un congressman morgan griffith also a republican from virginia for instance promoted what he described as clean coal power because he said you can burn it and then use carbon capture technology. See, this is where they're going. This is the green grift for the Republicans. And not only is carbon capture a way for them to capture more money, but it also makes all the power plants a lot more expensive and a lot less efficient in terms of the fuel

that they use. He emphasized new pollution control and emissions capture technologies that will funnel billions of dollars to well-connected Republican cronies. We need to work to have a cleaner industry to address climate change throughout the world. I don't think we've looked closely enough at new pollution control and emission capture technologies our country has. Congressman Troy Balderson, another Republican from Ohio, touted fracking, and he then called for more innovation

to suppress CO2. Again, they're all on the same page. But the contours of where these people are going is so obvious, so obvious. Despite the rhetoric promoting traditional energy sources, Republican lawmakers at the summit were all participating in a very dangerous game by buying into this lie. As farmers know, there's currently not enough CO2 for plants to grow at optimal levels unless pumped into greenhouses. CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been far higher in the past with no problem at all for temperature or for sea level uh so we've talked about this howard lutnik doug bergham all these different guys they're all part of this grift um marky mark thank you for the tip he says tell the

e-bike user to use only ul approved equipment and only use batteries and chargers made by the e-bike manufacturer. Many e-bike fires result when people use no-name parts to save money. Well, good safety tip there for you. Or you might just get the exercise. I should talk. I don't do that. I'm kidding. I sat in a chair all day.

So we're going to take a quick break, and we have Aaron Day is ready to join us, and we're going to have another episode of Night and Day. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back and joining us now is aaron day and he contacted me we've talked in the past You're listening to The David Knight Show. crypto prisoners freed. And as I mentioned earlier, and we all know, because I've talked about this many times, how the Democrats had a war on crypto. And we've got a lot of people who have been railroaded, unjustly convicted and should be pardoned. And the hope is that Trump may do that. He has mentioned Ross Ulbricht, but and there was a Free Ross campaign that went on for quite some time. Now there is a Free Ross campaign that went on for quite some time.

Now there is a Free Roger campaign to try to free Roger Ver. Thanks for joining us, Aaron, and tell us a little bit about that. Thank you for having me. Yeah, this is one of the most egregious. I mean, actually, all of these cases are egregious. The Ross Ulbricht case and the Ian Freeman case. I think Roger's case actually shocked me more than anything else because I learned about crypto for the first time from Roger Ver in 2012. Roger earned the nickname

Bitcoin Jesus because he literally evangelized this. He was the first retailer to take Bitcoin. He was the first investor in Bitcoin-related companies. He literally traveled around the world and his focus on this, because you and I have talked about crypto before, you know, as we look at what's going on with Bitcoin now and people buying Bitcoin through BlackRock ETFs and everything else, that was not Roger's vision. So if you got involved in Bitcoin from 2010 to 2015, you got involved with Bitcoin because you wanted an alternative currency to fiat currency. You wanted something that fixed the problems of central banks and money printing and what happened with the 2008 financial crisis and what happens with the military industrial complex blowing people up all over the world. Roger was the best person at articulating that vision and trying to spread freedom across the globe and so roger has an interesting story

roger had actually been arrested and spent time in prison for selling fireworks he was literally on ebay he was literally the only person who was ever arrested for this there were retailers that uh that continued to sell the very same fireworks that he went to prison for. The reason he went to prison is that he was very vocal. He was a libertarian, and he would talk about taxation as theft and war as murder, and he was very consistent about this, and he spoke out against the ATF, and this is very specifically why he was targeted. So he spent, I believe, 10 months in federal prison. This is like around 2000 or so. And then, you know, he decided to leave the country. So effectively, you know, he left, he started the process of leaving the country, you know, right after his prison experience. He had a hard time making that happen. I think he moved to Japan for a while, but then he formally left the United States and expatriated in 2014. And he paid an exit tax on Bitcoin. He went through the normal process, hired lawyers, hired accountants,

and paid what he thought was his proper exit tax. And the thing that you have to understand is in 2014, the IRS didn't even know how to treat bitcoin there wasn't any guidance is it a is it an asset is it a currency how do you do the tax treatment on top of that the largest exchange called mount gox had just collapsed so in actuality the amount of bitcoin that roger had he had he sold it would have actually crashed the market completely so he paid that you know based on his professional guidance he paid the amount of tax uh that that he thought he owed and then basically 10 years later they come after him after he's no longer a citizen uh in this country and it gets it gets even worse than that and i think i'd spoken about this before yeah

roger let me ask you real quickly what is the statute of limitations for taxes and stuff? It's right. He's right up on the edge. It's like it's very near the end. It's within 12 months of the very, the furthest edge case on his particular situation. I'm surprised that it's that long, really. I guess they've got a longer statute of limitations than they do for pedophilia, know which is only three years and there are a lot of different charges and again part of the problem with this is it's it's just retroactively they're making it up so this is one of these things that's

just baffling but i had interviewed roger on my podcast uh in april before he was arrested he wrote this book hijacking bitcoin and i think that we talked about this book this is an important book because as i mentioned roger's vision has always been, we need better money for the world to help everyone, to help the 71% of people that make less than $10 a week. It's about having money that's fast, cheap, and separated from state, separated from banks. And Bitcoin is no longer that. Bitcoin was hijacked by people tied to the deep state. It was hijacked by people tied to traditional finance. And so Roger, instead of just saying, oh, hey, I'm going to hold on to all this Bitcoin and let's see how much fiat dollars I can make, he's continued to push the envelope.

And he's continued to invest in and innovate in cryptocurrencies that are actually fast and usable as peer-to-peer digital cash and he wrote this book hijacking bitcoin that exposed what had happened to bitcoin and so just so it just so happened that three weeks after this book was published he was arrested in spain he was thrown in the same prison that john mcafee died in yeah and and um and he's been out on bail now for six months, but he's silenced. He can't even speak about this. And so this book was really getting traction. And so now everybody's buying Bitcoin. Nobody knows the contents of his book. And now they're going after him retroactively for this tax situation. And it's worse than that. they actually raided his attorney's office so this is actually more than just about crypto this is about violating attorney-client privilege uh and trying to use that information against him uh it it sets

it basically sets a precedent that says you can't rely on your lawyers and your counsel for advice so this affects everyone it's not just a crypto thing or a bitcoin thing this affects everyone who pays taxes and everyone who uses a lawyer and so it's a horrible case but the the most remarkable thing about it is he's looking at up to 109 years in prison like ross yeah that's the thing i've noticed this in so many different cases and it's not just about the crypto stuff you know with the Bundy Ranch and things like that. If they really want you for political purposes, they just get rid of, you talk about getting rid of attorney-client privileges, shut down exculpatory evidence, as they did with Ross

Albrecht and everything. They just throw all the rules off the table, and they just throw everything at you. We've seen it also with the January the 6 six people as well many of these cases uh it is once you get on their on their bad side and of course he is uh really touching a nerve because he's offering people uh cryptocurrency not as an asset as you point out but as an alternative currency for people used to trade with well yeah but it's even more than that so you know again i've followed roger for for a decade, and it turns out he has supported all kinds of pro-liberty causes. He supported WikiLeaks. He was the founding donor to the poor in Mexico. Like, there's a long list of things that people don't even know about. There's what he does publicly and all of the investments that he's made. But he's probably one of the most generous and principled people promoting pro-liberty

causes on the planet. And I think that is actually specifically why he's being targeted, because he's very, very effective at it. Wow. Wow. So this is just kicking off this Free Roger Now. Is that what it was? Yeah, freerogernow.org.

And what is happening there? Are you trying to get some kind of letter-writing campaign or publicity for this? Or are there donations? What is Free Roger Now happening? Yeah, this is a group of friends of Roger. This isn't my campaign specifically at all. This is just a group of people that are trying to support this cause. And what's being done is that similar to the Ross Ulbrich campaign, one of the reasons that Lynn Ulbrich was so successful was just her being tenacious and then also putting together a petition, which over 600,000 people signed.

So I was actually at the Libertarian Convention when Trump spoke about Ross's case. And so so these petitions and I guess they're calling it an open letter at Free Roger Now dot org is a great way of showing momentum. And we want we want Trump to see all of the people that are supportive of Roger and his cause. And so, yeah, we're urging everyone to sign the open letter at freerogernow.org. And that website also has information about the case itself and specific information. I'm obviously not a lawyer, so I'm not, you know, I'm not equipped to talk about the specific legal issues in this case. I don't have any information that's outside of what's in the public domain.

However, at freerogernow.org, there's a video clip interview with Robert Barnes, who's a well-known constitutional lawyer who has been speaking on this. So we're going to be sharing more. I hope he's going to be speaking more on this but that if you want to understand the timeline and the legal issues specifically i recommend that people look at freeroger now.org and take a look at the robert barnes interview good good has there been any um contact that that has anybody there with that organization have they been in any contact is there any hope in terms of anybody around trump that they're aware of this situation? Or is this something that has there been any, has anybody responded to any of this stuff from within the Trump organization? I believe they're aware of it. And I'm actually pretty optimistic about it. And I'll tell you

why. I mean, as you know, we've talked in the past, I've kind of had given up on politics and more on an exit and build kind of strategy. But, you know, in this particular case, there are a lot of similarities between Roger and President Trump. And in fact, I wrote an article for the Brownstone Institute about this, and I kind of outline all of this. But Trump has had very similar experiences with the DOJ and the FBI that Roger's experiencing. Trump has experienced multiple audits on an ongoing basis. He's had his attorney client privilege with Michael Cohen and others breached. So everything that's going on to Roger, I think that has happened also to Trump.

So I believe there's going to be empathy there because here's Roger, a successful guy, exposing the truth, and he gets targeted and harassed by the DOJ and the FBI. So I actually think that there's a pretty good shot here, and I'm pretty sure people in his administration or incoming administration are aware of this, and I actually think this campaign is going to do a lot to help not only raise awareness about how horrible the case is, but also what an advocate for freedom Roger has been. So, you know, I think there's a real shot. And the other thing is, you know, usually presidents don't pardon people until the end of their term. And we're in a completely different situation.

I mean, we already know. I mean, he actually promised to commute Ross Ulbricht's sentence on day one. And I think that there's other things going on with Jay Sixers, and there's a whole variety of people that he might pardon right out of the gates. And so I think it would be great to have Roger on that list, and I think there's a real shot that that could happen. Yeah, and of course, Matt Gaetz, who he's tapped for attorney general, if he gets through confirmation, has talked talked about uh pardons for many of

these people and is um very much on board with that i think though that the only way that gates is i think gates confirmation is going to depend on whether or not uh he can get a recess appointment because i think the democrats will be able to block it with a filibuster uh and probably will uh but um if he's able to get gates through i think that really does increase the chances for these types of pardons i know i i think it changes and and gates has come out uh for pardoning snowden he's also come out very much in favor of ross and so i actually think he's uh he's absolutely dead on on these issues so it would be great if he if he were confirmed so i do think things are all lining up. So,

you know, and again, Trump has made a big emphasis. I just saw yesterday that he's looking at buying a cryptocurrency exchange. He's made all kinds. I think he was meeting with the CEO of Coinbase, the largest exchange either yesterday or today. So, you know, to the extent that he's really tied himself to to crypto you know you can't you can't be pro-innovation and and pro-bitcoin while you know crucifying bitcoin jesus so i think that i so i really i but the key to it is going to be to get the word out there and you know the the tragedy of this is roger's very out. I mean, he's always been outspoken about, you know, the military industrial complex and all of these issues. And he's also very outspoken about Bitcoin and the fact that it was hijacked.

And the fact that he can't speak, that he's basically completely gagged, has to be really frustrating. So it's really important now that we raise awareness as quickly as possible because we've got this window between, you know, here we are, you know, past the middle of November and the inauguration is only a couple of months away. So now what we're trying to do is, you know, again, from a grassroots basis, get as many people as possible to get the word out about the legal case and about Roger as a person. Is he still in Spain or did they extradite him to the U.S he's still in spain and and i don't know any specific details about this all i know is that it took john mcafee eight months to go to fight fully the extradition process and mcafee lost after eight months and he actually was uh mysteriously

ended up dead the day after he lost his final appeal to the Supreme Court in Spain. So Roger's been there for over six months. So I don't know what the timing is or what any of that process is, but certainly, you know, here's the other part about this. And this is one of the things, there are memes about this. So Roger pays his taxes, hires professionals. They haven't even told him how much they think he owes. He's been offered no ability to settle. Like literally this situation is absurd.

They haven't even told him what to pay. It doesn't sound like they've given him any opportunity to settle. It's just, it's very politically motivated. It's very clearly politically motivated. And look, I hope all of these people, I hope the IRS is abolished, and I hope that they look into the people that were deciding to target roger yeah the problem is it seems like it's a bipartisan move to increase the irs that had a budget of 13 billion they give them another 80 billion uh to buy out with artificial intelligence another 80,000

agents so yeah i think they're going to keep that superpower to use that as a weapon against their enemies. Both sides will probably use that. But it is amazing how criminal and the political persecution that is just right in your face. And we've seen this in so many different ways. The Democrats have openly come out against crypto. And of course, we have the SEC current chair who has tried to bring the Bitcoin under his purview and other crypto stuff. He's been sued by a lot of state attorneys general. It's expected that he's, of course, going to be replaced and so forth. So there's a real sea change there. And so all of that, I think, bodes well.

I think people ought to be able to be free to have crypto. And it was a full-on, full-court press to criminalize crypto from the Biden administration, even shutting down banks that were solvent because they were on and off ramps for crypto. That kind of across-the-board intimidation because they were going to force CBDC down our throats, and they saw crypto as the competitor to that. But there's a dark side to this as well as far as the crypto stuff that Trump is in that I see. I just wanted to get your take on it. I've seen a lot of people there. Of course, we have Lutnik who is involved with Tether and stable coins and other things like this,

and there's a lot of – I was just talking about GOP congressmen who had gone to the COP 29, all talking about carbon capture. Of course, there's a lot of talk about carbon taxes, putting that on the blockchain, having people be able to pay that and track it with the crypto stuff. It seems like there is a coordinated move to kind of do a backdoor CBDC.

That's what it looks like to me um and whitney webb has talked about it as well what do you think about that is that something that you've uh seen any um discussion of or have an opinion on i definitely have an opinion in fact i'm writing a new book about this very topic because um one of the conclusions that i've come to since I've been talking about this CBDC issue exclusively is we already have a CBDC. That's what I've realized. You know, everybody's fighting over definitions. And I sat there and I'm like, okay, well, what is the agreed-to definition of a CBDC? Well, there isn't one.

So the Bank of International Settlements has one definition. People at the WEF have another. States have different definitions. And so I'm like, okay, well, let's break this down then. Let's try to understand how does our current system actually work? Well, the way the current system works is the federal government issues an IOU to the Federal Reserve. And then the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air, literally in an Oracle database. So when the federal government is writing checks and paying to blow people up and do cow fart studies and all the great things the federal government is writing checks and, you know, paying to blow people up and do, you know, cow fart studies and all the great things the federal government does

with money, they're writing these checks on an, out of an Oracle database. That is by definition, a central bank digital currency. Now there are nuances to it. We have commercial banks as well, and they have their own Oracle databases and Microsoft databases, and they make up their own money out of thin air backed by the Oracle database that the Federal Reserve has. But it is absolutely digital. And the origin of this money is the Federal Reserve in an Oracle database. And so when you hear people talk about what they're concerned about with CBDCs, what are they concerned about? They're concerned about being tracked. They're concerned about the money being programmable. And they're concerned about being tracked. They're concerned about the money being programmable. And they're concerned about being censored. Well, so then I looked into that. Well, there are 13 different federal government programs that are already surveilling our financial transactions. You mentioned part of

it. The IRS is already working with commercial banks to analyze our financial transactions. That already happens. The NSA is already doing bulk data collection on our financial transactions. Through the Patriot Act, they can come in without a warrant, seize a bank account, and then you can't talk to anybody about it if they give you what's called a national security letter, which says you can't talk about this with anyone, including a lawyer. What? Really? Yeah. So this new book that I'm going to do, actually, it's going to expand on two things. One, we already have a CBDC. And two, we already have a social credit system, which is, by the way, the tax code. But those examples that I gave, those are just three out of 13 different ways the federal government is monitoring our transactions.

Well, then we has a health savings account or a flexible spending account, these are basically debit cards that are tied directly to a bank that are programmable. These are cards that you can only use to buy certain healthcare-related items from certain merchants at certain times. This is using the existing financial system. The largest provider of health savings accounts is a company called optum bank which is a bank and so the money that we already have can be programmed i mean even when you think about when you use a credit card if you travel all of the fraud screening you know you you go somewhere and they shut the card off temporarily that just shows that the current system can be

programmed but i know you know as as I was jumping into this, you were talking about energy credits, you were talking about carbon credits, that type of thing. MasterCard has already created something working with Doconomy called the Doconomy UN branded MasterCard, which tracks your purchases, tracks your carbon output, and literally shuts off the card if you use too much carbon. So this is a pilot that went on from 2019 to 2022. And it's not that they're giving up on it. MasterCard continues to expand the number of partnerships, continues to expand the types of products and services they're tracking carbon for. So, again, there's no new system. So when

people say, well, CBDC is coming, you don't need a new technological system to be able to program money and tie it to carbon. That actually has already happened with the existing system that we have. And on the area of censorship, there was something called Operation Chokepoint 1.0, where numerous, like 20 different categories of businesses were basically lost access to credit card processing services and banking services. But I just recently found out that Barron Trump, Melania Trump, in addition to Kanye West, Nick Fuentes, and Dr. Joseph Mercola have all been debanked. And it's a growing list. Well, I've experienced a little bit of that with PayPal.

I had this program that was going on for five months, and then all of a sudden PayPal and Venmo discontinued my service. I can't use them for anything anywhere. And I contacted them, spent a lot of time on the phone with them, and I said, why was I taken off? I didn't do anything illegitimate. I was never given a reason. And I spent two hours on the phone with a guy there.

And he said, well, the only thing I can find is just this letter says, shut this account down immediately. And so that is rolling. All these different things are rolling out. You're right. You know, you go back and you look at when they were talking about the,

the massive stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff, you know, three and a half trillion dollars and stuff people asked Powell they said so you're just gonna print up a bunch of money he goes well we don't really print it we just create credits on the computer just like you were saying it's already digital it's already there they're already tracking people already restricting people's access debanking people it's all with Nigel Farage in the UK as well and so they don't like you they just kick you out of their financial system.

And it's always done from the inside, and it's always done iteratively. And this, I think, Aaron, is what's really dangerous, is that people are waiting for there to be some kind of a grand declaration. And of course, the Democrats might actually do it in that ham-fisted way. You know, the Democrats might come out and say, well, now as of tomorrow, we're going to, everybody's going to have to, you know, walk in a new way and we're going to have a new kind of money and all the rest of this stuff. But the Republicans and many other people, the more sophisticated ones are the ones who are more dangerous and they will do it in the background iteratively and nobody will really understand what's happening. As you point out, it's all

collecting like with a MasterCard thing. And I've reported on that in the past, but people don't see that. It's invisible. Well, so this is what I'm going to put in the new book. And, you know, you're right. Whitney Webb has written a lot about this, and I have as well, related to stable coins and everything else. What I've put together is what I call the tyranny index, CBDC tyranny index. So we already have a CBDC.

We already have digital programmable money. But what I've put together are the different elements of kind of if you think about the DEF CON system that we have, right? We go from DEF CON five to one, I guess. I think one is the worst, whatever it happens to be, but we're kind of already in the middle. So the end game for this is a single global digital currency that is tied to energy credits. That is literally the game plan. I've actually outlined this in my articles and that I'm going to further elaborate this, but we know who's building it. We know what the technology platform is. We know how it works. I mean, we know that nations are working on interoperability. So what the United States is doing with our CBDC isn't just related to a CBDC. They're going to

tokenize all of our assets, our stocks, our homes our cars our computers and put it all on one platform with the same programmability and trackability and that's going to connect with other countries that are doing the same thing they're designing these things to interoperate so when klaus schwab says you'll own nothing and be happy well the way we're not going to be happy but i can tell you how they're going to get to the you own nothing and it's through this this very specific process of digitizing all of these assets and tying it all together. So I put together this tyranny index, and you hit on a very important point. And look, again, I'm hopeful that the best that Trump can pardon, and actually that is something that he can do, and that's a useful thing to do.

But when it comes to this issue of CBbdc's i've analyzed the legislation that for instance cynthia loomis and some of these other politicians have put out there and all of it adds to the tyranny index the way the republicans go about doing it is that they say well we don't want cbdc's but what we're going to do is we're going to give the largest banks the exclusive ability to create what are called stable coins. Well, what is a stable coin? A stable coin is a digital programmable form of money. That's exactly what a CBDC is. And by the way, who owns the Federal Reserve? The largest banks own the Federal Reserve. So this idea that somehow you don't have a CBDC or you don't have all of the features of a CBDC just because it

comes from JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo is a false argument. And so I'm going to do, so when I roll out the new book, I'm going to really spell out this tyranny index. And then every time a piece of legislation comes out, I don't care which party it is, we're going to be able to rate it and understand it based on how it increases or decreases tyranny on the CBDC scale. But I think it's critical that people understand that we already have a cbdc and stop looking at it as something in the future and look at it as something that

that it's already unacceptably bad today but boy can it get worse and it can get worse than people can even imagine at this point in time i agree yeah you know so many people oh we dodged the bullet we got trump now and and so now it's going to be wonderful for Bitcoin, and we've stopped this CBDC stuff, not seeing, as you point out, the aspects of it that have already been put into place, not seeing who the players are. And even to the extent that you've got people like Howard Lutnick, who is very connected to Tether, is also the co-chair of the transition team, the Trump transition. He's put himself out for Treasury Secretary. I don't know. I mean, there's all this gossip about who's in and who's out and who's going to make it to this point. I didn't really get involved in that, but I've seen the articles talking about that.

So you've already got that. And Hadron has just been introduced by the Tether people as another way to tokenize everything. I mean, everything. As you point out, you'll own nothing. Why? Because they will tokenize everything, not just financial assets like stocks and bonds or other things like that, but also land and everything else will be tokenized. And that'll be the way that they will be able to steal it from everybody.

And they're well on the way to do this. So that's really, I think, Aaron, what our task is is we have to get people to understand what this new scheme is whenever you see this change of the guard what it is it's about a rebranding it's about you know getting people confused and thinking well things have changed when they haven't really changed but they rebrand they regroup and they come at us from another direction but it's always fundamentally the same thing isn't it it is always fundamentally the same thing and so this is why the terms matter i mean and propaganda is in this area of cbdc's and technocracy in general this is where they really control the battlefield because they keep on shifting definitions yes they've made people think that cbdc's are something

that are coming in the future without actually addressing the fact that there's something that's already here now. And as long as they move the goalpost out and keep making it look like it's more tyrannical and adding more tyranny to what the actual definition is, people will be lulled into the sense of complacency, believing that, you know, they're not already in a situation where they're tracked. And, you know, the great taking is another component of this. You know, this is how they're going to basically take control of our stocks and 401ks. They've already done it legally. In fact, I wrote an article about this.

You know, in a way, we've done this to ourselves because we sign these click wrap agreements. When you, I think Amazon has a 12,000 word agreement for using their service. Wells Fargo has a 30 page online agreement the microsoft terms of service are 70 pages so the average american signs between 150 and 400 digital click wrap agreements every year does anybody read them no they don't this has actually been shown somebody did a study on this and they actually put into the terms of service that you will literally give your firstborn child to the state and you will give up all of your data to the NSA and 76% of people actually signed the digital agreement. And so if you were to read all of these agreements, it would take an hour a day, 365 days a year. So literally it's a life sentence of reading if you

were to read these contracts. But what we are giving away in these online agreements is everything. We're giving away our privacy. We're giving away our data. There was a recent case where somebody, a doctor, had eaten at a restaurant on a Disney property and died of a food allergy. Yes. And Disney tried to use the Disney Plus online service agreement to get out of the lawsuit for the food poisoning. And that just goes to show you, particularly when we're dealing with these large contracts

with multinational corporations where we have no idea what all the companies are that they own and what everything is. So we've done this. We've given away on the stock front and on 401ks, we've already given away our voting rights. When say blackrock and vanguard own all of these companies well they don't it's actually technically not true it's our money right they're just representing its assets under management well there are assets or at least so we think there are assets but the thing is we've already given up our voting rights usually when you own a share of stock in a company that entitles you to vote on things but with 401ks that's not the case give Fidelity and all of these brokers and third parties the ability to vote all of our shares. So we've given up our voting rights. And then the

next time there's a major financial collapse and there's a bankruptcy, let's say your broker goes bankrupt. You might think you would own those shares, but we don't own those shares. It turns out because of changes in the law, our shares will end up going to the four largest banks through the bankruptcy process because those four large banks will become the large secured creditors. So legally, the infrastructure has already been set up. We've already signed away our rights. What's happening with CBDCs and the ability to tokenize these assets is that's going to make it so that when there's a collapse, they can literally take everything with a click of a button. And that is the, that is a scary thing. So my next book is going to go into that in great detail. And I, again, I'm going to be very rigorous about, about showing people this, but I will say again, to go back to Roger, the reason

Roger is so important to me. And the reason that I'm spending so much time talking about this is not only did I learn about Bitcoin from him, but I, you know, I've been living on crypto gold and silver since 2019. And, you know, I started using Bitcoin cash, which is a fork of Bitcoin. Roger didn't start it, but it's, he promoted it once there was this whole block size war and everything else. It's basically the original version of Bitcoin where with, you know, low fees and that's made to be used as peer to peer digital cash. And then recently, Roger had introduced me to something called Zeno, which is a privacy coin, because in essence, the way we're going to defeat CBDCs is we need to actually have privacy with our digital currency. And what Roger and Ian Freeman and Ross Ulbrich and others have learned and what the public is still not aware of is Bitcoin is a public ledger.

And these transactions are open. And in fact, there are tens of thousands of copies of everybody's financial transactions and databases all over the world. Yeah, I saw that. I saw that with a let me just jump in and give the example of a guy who was a billionaire and he had nearly a million dollars stolen out of his wallet and he didn't know it and some guy contacted him and he said um uh did you know what was what was going on with this thing i didn't even know that and and i've talked about that many times you know it's a public first of all it's a public leisure number one number two you know how easy it was for somebody somewhere to steal that from him but everybody can see that and this guy had connected it to him yep and people aren't aware

of that so now they're using something called chain analysis to be able to track all of your transactions and so uh so the key moving forward is privacy so roger introduced me to this this project called xeno i was just in mexico i just met with the the development team uh and the whole team and it's it's an incredible project and again roger's been pushing the envelope on you know we need peer-to-peer digital cash and in fact one of the ideas that i'm working on is you know i'm working on launching what what i'm calling is a gold-backed privacy stablecoin so in other words we talk about tether and all the issues regarding tether i will tell you it is my personal opinion that tether is going to implode.

And when it implodes, it's going to take Bitcoin down with it. Because the price of Bitcoin has been propped up by Tether. Tether's essentially been printed out of thin air. We don't even know if the Tether's backed by anything. In fact, I just saw they added like another $7 billion or something, which is a significant percentage of what was outstanding. It's a significant percentage. So what happens is if Tether, you know, runs into issues, the price of Bitcoin will drop and that will provide the perfect pretext for them to ratchet up a CBDC. They're going to say, oh, look, we tried these other solutions.

Bitcoin's not stable in terms of price. Tether was, you know, problematic and was you know problematic and you know or possibly even fraudulent and so we're going to have to give complete control over cbdc's and stable coins to the federal reserve and to the largest banks in the united states it's it's already being teed up for that and when you read the legislation cynthia loomis again these bitcoin people love her but she has laser eyes and everything else. And she talks about a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Read the bill that she drafted with Gillibrand from New York. She wants to ban algorithmic stable coins explicitly.

She's against privacy. And she is for increasing KYC, know your customer, anti-money laundering laws, adding layers of of compliance for the individual and compliance for the exchange this isn't the way forward yeah and so we we are facing this now let's now let me put out a an optimistic hat what should happen is they should put pardon roger and then the trump administration should actually listen to roger yeah i i think that roger the secretary of the treasury yeah well make him secretary of the treasury Treasury or just or just listen to him read this book. Because if Trump's true intent is if he if he wants us, if he wants the United States to be actually probably the most influential person in terms of of promoting solutions to the cbdc issue which is probably why he is where he is oh yeah yeah uh let me back up a little bit you were talking about zeno is

that something that is under development or is that out there already it's out there already it's actually how do you spell that z-a-n-o okay and it's z-a-n-o.org this is a a fascinating project and it's probably the most it's underappreciated most people just don't know about it i think part of it is that it's it's very technically sophisticated the the main developer who uh started this project has been working on these things for 10 years. He actually developed some of the original technology behind Monero. And Monero is widely considered to be the most popular privacy coin. And this guy was there at the very beginning. And so Zano itself has been around since 2019. And so they've actually been building the technology for this for five years. The team has worked together and it already works.

So basically it is a privacy coin. But the added feature to this is it allows you to tokenize other assets with the same level of privacy that you have with Monero. So I'll explain why this is important. So money represents 5% of global assets, real estate, stocks, bonds, everything else, all other non-monetary assets make up that other 95%. Excuse me, as I was mentioning, when they roll out CBDCs, they're already working on a technology to centrally tokenize all of our other assets so that they can control everything. They can control our real estate, our investment portfolios. So we need an answer not only to CBDCs, but we also need an answer to this

project to centrally tokenize all of our other assets. Monero is what allows you to do this. And so I'm actually working on a gold-backed privacy stable coin. Or you mean Zeno? Oh, okay. Is it Monero or Zeno that you said allows you to do that? Zeno allows you to do that. Zeno allows you to do the tokenization. So basically, Zeno, you can use it as a currency in its own right, like Monero, but it also allows you to tokenize these other assets. And so some of the use cases for this are, I mean, again, in the future, you could tokenize stocks, bonds, and everything else,

but the immediate applications are you could create a gold-backed stable coin that is private. So imagine now you're able to use a cryptocurrency that is actually backed by gold that you could physically redeem for gold, but yet the individual transactions remain private, like Monero.

That's one application of Zeno. Another application that's being rolled out is, we talked about the fact that Bitcoin and Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, these other cryptocurrencies are transparent. You can actually use Zeno to make Bitcoin private. So there's this, I don't want to get into all the details on it, but there's something called confidential layer that's going to allow you to take your Bitcoin, bridge it into Zeno and make it private. So really what Zeno is, is it is a blockchain that is specifically for enabling you to make other assets private. And to me, this is actually of critical importance because in the grand scheme of things, the big battle that we have right now is we're fighting against technocracy. We're fighting against the movement towards a one-world government where everything is transparent, at least to the people that are running that show. So privacy is actually the answer to this. So all of the solutions that

we're going to be looking to are going to be privacy-protecting solutions and technologies, and I think Zano is actually at the forefront of this. That's great. Yeah. You know, we had Life After Google, the book about that. And what he was saying was he said privacy is going to become a real commodity. And I think, you know, the problem is, is that people don't value that enough when we look at privacy. And so if we value that enough, then we will find constructs to do things like that, like you're talking about with Zeno and other things. I've got a couple of questions for you. DG8 says, David, can you please ask Mr. Day about XRP Ripple?

Fast, low fees, but the only crypto listed as a WEF business partner. What do you think about Ripple? I'm not a fan of Ripple, but again, I want to say specifically what I do, and I do workshops around the country and increasingly next year around the world where I teach people how to use crypto for their day-to-day transactions, and i'm also onboarding merchants to be able to accept crypto and one of the the criteria for me now is it has to be private by default because the the what we're really fighting up against here are cbdcs and so we need privacy so i i'm really looking at monero and zeno as as being the preferred options whether what thing what coins do from a speculative price perspective i don't know i'm not an expert at that i'm looking at the utility of of the projects and with the understanding that we need

to be able to trade with one another outside of this beast system yep yep i agree uh brian and deb mccartney ask uh if you know are we already in bricks the fed attended the bricks meeting in russia she said no i i do not i have not seen that but i certainly i can't imagine that we're in bricks okay uh and of course that other one we've already talked about about monero pirate coin and uh xeno they also put darrow i guess is there something called darrow is that another one there's another one uh and you know i think they had some technical issues with this that were exposed earlier in the year but i i'm not by the way i also want to say i'm not a maximalist so i there's one there's an interesting thing that happens i was just in mexico at a minera topia conference and so obviously the focus was primarily minero but there were other privacy

coins there it wasn't just limited to Monero. And we had a lot of interesting talks there, because particularly if you're a libertarian, for some reason, the technocrats want one global currency, but yet somehow we've gotten into this mode where there are people that seem to think on the libertarian side that we should only have one cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin should be the only cryptocurrency. People want to be maximalists. And it seems to me that the marketplace is the best way to settle this and that the idea itself that we would only have one currency doesn't make sense. You should have ongoing competition.

And that's one of the things I like about the privacy space is that there are a lot of projects and there's a lot of innovation being done on an ongoing basis. And so I highly recommend people take a multi-asset approach, but with a very specific emphasis on privacy. And we go back to something you said earlier, because you hit the nail on the head. This is a real challenge. So when I do my workshops, most of the people in my workshops are boomers. Gen X are boomers.

And here's what I've found. Older people value privacy but aren't as technical. They find technology a little bit more cumbersome to use. And younger people don't value privacy. There was a HATO survey that found that almost a third of Gen Z would be okay with the federal government putting security cameras in people's homes. So this is the real challenge right now, which is, you know, we have to get younger people to value privacy, and we need to make the tools easy enough for older people.

That is actually the path forward here, and these are the sticking points that we have. I agree. And, you know, I know there's a lot of work being done on that. There's a whole privacy acceleration movement, and I know that there are a lot of people that are on that. There's a whole privacy acceleration movement. And I know that there are a lot of people that are looking to try to get privacy out in the forefront. I mean, privacy is a right. We have the Fourth Amendment, which or at least we had the Fourth Amendment. I mean, this is something that this, you know, narrative of,

you know, if you have something, if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about, right? And so there's this idea that if you want privacy, you must be a criminal, you must be a terrorist, you must be a money launderer. And the truth of the matter is that when you look into who's actually doing these violent activities. It's not people using privacy-protecting technologies. It's the people trying to suppress other people from using privacy-protecting technologies. And so we have to do a better job of marketing why privacy is important. I don't want privacy because I want to buy illegal things. I want privacy because I want to be able to buy organic vegetables in the future. I want to be able to buy red meat or I want to be able to buy raw milk. And this is something where what is it, you know, uh, what most people buy as normal

products today are going to be black market items in the future. And so they need to be educated on why, why privacy is important to make sure that that doesn't happen. Yes. Yeah. Very well said. Yeah, I absolutely agree with that. And and you know you talk about how marketing privacy to people i think they marketed big brother to people as a matter of fact i've always thought that these programs that began you know the big brother reality tv show where everybody lives their life in front of a camera i always thought that that was the purpose of it it came out before they started social media and it was kind of this gradual acclimation of people hey these people who are nobody and they don't have any special skills or abilities or whatever but they become

important celebrities by letting everybody look at their life and then we got everybody chasing likes and and followers and all this other kind of stuff now on social media and so that's really kind of for the last 30 or so years that that's been what they have projected out there. The people growing up see that. And to them, that is a way to be liked, a way to get famous, a way to get money and all the rest of the stuff. So, yeah, they have really trashed privacy. And we've got to somehow get that generation, the younger generations to understand that. I've got another question for you here. We go on fan says, does your guest know

of a speaker who can address professional financial organizations, such as the CFA society and the financial planning association? It can be in person or virtual. Do you do that type of thing? Well, I mean, I'll address anybody. I guess the question is, what is the, what is the topic? But I, I, I'll talk to anybody about these issues. And I do know, and I have spoken in front of groups before. The problem is for a lot of people that are registered financial advisors, they're very constrained by what they can do. I mean, I could go on a whole conversation about this. I actually spent a lot of time looking at FINRA, which is basically the governing body for financial advisors.

And I was considering going through their program because I wanted to, a little bit of a side story, but I wanted to be able to figure out how to use tokens, digital tokens as a way to kind of replace stock. So basically to be able to create a private stock market using tokenized stock instead of going through the formal process. And so once I learned how the existing system works through FINRA, I realized that's not possible. FINRA is basically a trade association.

It's a cartel of organizations in the financial services industry, but they have the backing of the SEC. So they basically can come up with their own rules, but then it's enforced by the state. And so then when you look at what's going on here it turns out they don't have much of an incentive for true innovation specifically in the financial services sector itself but i'm happy to talk to people about uh about all of these things i i would love to talk to financial advisors about fiat currency the history of fiat currency the current state of the united states dollar. The Brownstone Institute has actually done some research recently that kind of shows what true inflation is versus what has been reported officially by the government. The dollar has lost somewhere between 25 and 40

percent of its purchasing power since 2020. If you actually look at the real underlying numbers, we've actually we are in a recession. We've been in a recession since 2022. So I'd love to talk to, you know, groups about this. But it's really outside of their training. And it's an outside, it's outside of what their mandate is, because when they provide financial advice, it's within a, within their certification. And what they're certified to teach people is in my opinion against what is going on and against the economic reality of what we're facing right now yeah yeah yeah when you look at any government statistics when you look about inflation unemployment numbers consumer confidence or they rig the process and then if that's not enough they just outright lie

you know like we saw with the unemployment numbers. And it's like, hey, we've got to revise what we told you three months ago. We told you that there were 800,000 more jobs than there really were. But that's not there anymore. They constantly do that. They're constantly revising the previous quarter's numbers to create a positive trend for them. Everything they do is a lie. It's absolutely amazing.

Gard Goldsmith says, it's sure great to know good people like David and Aaron are out there doing this, talking about this matter. I hope more folks will speak out. Of course, Gard has Liberty Conspiracy. Everybody can catch that weeknights on Rockfin as well as on X on Twitter. But tell us where people can get your information.

You've got a podcast. You've got Substack. You've got some books. Tell us a little bit about, do some self-promotion here. Sure, I'll do that. But before I do that, I want to say, you know, so right now when I'm focused, I'm writing this book and really going into detail not only on CBDCs, but we already have a social credit system.

It's the tax code. Right? Even if you look at how 401ks work, if they use the penalties and incentives of the tax code to drive our behavior, we just don't have a user friendly app that tells us how it's going. So I'm actually going to go into that detail in the book. But I do want to say, since Gardner brought this up and I haven't mentioned it yet, there's another campaign.

In addition to FreeRogerNow.org, there is a parallel campaign going to Free Ian Freeman. And that is freieannow.org. And Ian is in federal prison for eight years, basically, for selling Bitcoin without the right paperwork. Although it's much worse than that. The case against him was completely made up. Prosecutorial misconduct is probably an understatement. They brought in, you know, undercover agents. They did a whole variety of different things.

But if you go to freeiannow.org, you can learn all about that case. And so there's an initiative to bring awareness to this as well. I actually think Ian has a good shot at winning on appeal. So he's still under an appeal process. And so, you know, hopefully he'll have some success with that. But I will say Roger learned about Bitcoin from Ian. So Ian has been involved with Free Talk Live, which is a syndicated radio show that he and Mark Edge have been working on for a couple of decades. And Gart is working with that now.

Gart is taking over the program while he's incarcerated doing some some some broadcasts for that yeah we've talked about yeah and and i will tell you i just saw some i think 10 of the people that are part of the free state project here in new hampshire learned about it from free talk live so what's happening to ian is also a travesty uh but i mean as far as my work is concerned i'm working on this book but i i am going to be spending a lot of time promoting uh roger ian and even working on this book, but I am going to be spending a lot of time promoting Roger Ian and even working on an event, hopefully before the inauguration that may include Assange and Ross Ulbricht and Snowden as well to try to really build some energy and momentum around this pardon concept. But I'm at daylightfreedom.org and there you can learn about everything that I'm up to, the workshops that we do around the country,

teaching people about CBDCs and then how to actually practically use crypto gold and silver for day-to-day transactions. You can find me on X at Aaron R. Day. And I do have a podcast, The Aaron Day Show, which we cover very interesting topics. I mean, a lot of it is related to CBDCs, but a lot of it is also related more broadly to the concept of exiting and building some

non-political solutions. So I had a guest on Sterling Lujan, and we talked about network states, which is a new and interesting concept. So the idea is, you know, the way to stop centralization is to create more countries. If you actually look at how most governments have evolved, they've either been somebody just came in by force and then dictated the way society was going to run. The U.S. was a little bit different, but there hasn't really been a lot of experimentation on governance. And so there's this new model where people are basically getting together

based on a common interest, people that have a kind of a shared ideology and then they're going out and trying to buy uh sovereignty and so this is this is kind of a new movement so anyway that's not a big part of what i do what does buying sovereignty look like does that mean uh buying real estate in a particular area or what you know it's it's there there are a lot of different models and this is this is part of why it's it's early but some of it involves trying to actually buy buy your own you own political sovereignty from a nation to run to if the legal uh hassles start mounting up as they have in in one jurisdiction they said he's got to stand trial i think is the netherlands or something but he went to what was it kenya i think he went to kenya

and uh and uh i guess paid off some politicians so you could have diplomatic community and tax free existence yeah i don't think that's quite the model we're looking for here i think we're looking for more you know creating a community of people that have a shared ideology and are experimenting with governance. But, of course, you know, Bill Gates takes any concept and distorts it to the detriment of humanity. He's got enough money that he can distort anything. That's absolutely true. I got another question here for you. DG8 says, can you ask Mr. Day about Jeff Berwick, a huge supporter of Privacy Coins, who would be a good guest on the David Knight Show?

Tell us a little bit about, do you know anything about Jeff? I don't know anything. I've known Jeff for a while, and he's a great advocate for Privacy Coins. I'm actually going to be speaking at his event in Acapulco in February. And he was just at this event that I was at in Mexico City. So, yeah, he would be a very interesting guest to have on. And he's just at this event that I was at in Mexico City. So yeah, he would be a very interesting guest to have on. And he's been very early into crypto and is an interesting guy in general in a variety of different ways. I know he's gone through the spiritual transformation

as well. So he probably would be an interesting person to have on. What do you mean by a spiritual transformation? Tell us a little bit about that. I don't know a lot of the details about it but he just you know went through some things in his personal life and and and kind of you really changed his his attitudes and behaviors and you'd have to talk to him about all the i don't want to represent somebody's journey but that i'll leave it at that so i wonder if he became a follower of bitcoin jesus or something so so you met him at the uh the zeno conference i guess it was uh that you were just at or what was it that was mineratopia but no i've actually known jeff

i've met jeff probably 10 years ago okay good good well it's great talking to you and thank you so much for everything that you're doing this is really at the core of freedom because it's always money that makes the change that control us, isn't it? You know, and that's one of the things that concerns me about the blockchain. It almost sounds like we're being chained to a block and it's going to be something like that. If we don't figure out some methods for privacy and freedom, and so really do appreciate the

work and the research that you do, Aaron. It's always great to have you on you're always welcome to come on anytime and folks uh he's talking now about free roger now.org also free ian now.org and so if you would like to speak out on behalf of those people try to bring awareness to them uh hopefully the same thing will happen as we expect to see with uh ross albrecht and that was a free ross and i know that um his his mother has worked on this lynn has worked on it for such a long time is she um is she okay now is she still uh involved with that what is do you know anything oh yeah no i met her probably 10 years ago at a Porkfest event.

And I've actually talked to her recently. She's an amazing person. Yeah. In fact, if anything. I'd like to get her on again. I've talked to her multiple times years ago, but it's been a few years now since I talked to her. I'd love to talk to her again. Yeah.

She is the single example that shows that what one person can do, if you actually, if you care and you put in the work. Yes. Like it is just remarkable to see what she's been able to do. Even when I was at Mineratopia, I was, I mean, I was actually wearing, I'm not wearing it right now. I was wearing a free Ross shirt. Um, the whole community down at this event is, is supportive of Ross. And then it's all because of just, you know, how, how persistent she's been on it. So, um, she's great. I think she's a tremendous person. And, um, I, you know, I think at this point she's been on it. So she's great. I think she's a tremendous person. And I think at this point she probably doesn't want to rock the boat too much because it looks like the situation is locked in.

Trump has tweeted on this three or four times, and it looks like it's going to happen. So I'm really happy for her. I think he'll do that. I mean, you know, it would be a way for him to deliver on some campaign promises. It'd be a win. It'd be easy for him. And we just hope that we can get some publicity for the other people, for Roger Ver and for

Ian, freeiannow.org and freerogernow.org. Try to get some of these other people. And it's so good to talk to you. Thank you, Aaron. Appreciate it. Thank you. That's it for today's broadcast, folks. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. Thank you. Bye. Thank you. I just saw. Thank you, Amber Goal. I appreciate the tip. Thank you so much. I just saw that.
