Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 6th of March, Year of Our Lord 2024.

Well, today we're going to take, we got a lot of interesting news today. Of course, we had the stupor Tuesday, but not much news there. We'll mention it briefly as what's happening. And of course, ballot access is the real story. That's where the election corruption begins. And RFK Jr. is going to try to get on the ballot with ELP. We'll talk about that. But we're also going to take a look at some resistance to the pandemic and how they have now pulled back to

the position that I had. As we arrive on our fourth anniversary of this stuff, they're saying this is nothing more than the flu. I've been saying that for four years. And so now the CDC has finally come over to my side. But it remains. And it remains to be seen what, if anything, we're going to do about it. In Australia, they do have some plans to do things about it. And we're also going to take a look at this little episode that happened at the VA, trying to get rid of the kiss, the picture, the iconic picture. Boy, they really, really hate this country, don't they?

It truly is amazing. It's how much they hate us. We'll be right back. Well, let's begin with the pandemic news. Here we are, nearly up to our fourth anniversary. Actually, past the fourth anniversary. I didn't really commemorate it, of what Alex azar did the

end of january now he was the one who declared it was a pandemic trump was the one who declared that he was going to fund it and kicked it off and told everyone sold it to everybody as an emergency you know making a fauci president the rest of the stuff now the c8 cdc has officially relaxed the covid guidelines are now treating it as the flu and they're dropping all of these health measures uh if you catch a cold you no longer need to isolate yourself for five days well i never did that uh and they recommend that you go outside uh i was doing that all as a matter of fact i would drive around as much as I could with the top down all through all this stuff. And it never ceased to amaze me.

Karen and I would be riding around with the top down. And look over and we see people in a car, a couple in a car. They've got the windows up and they've got their masks on it's like well if you're so afraid of this person that you live with i mean they were obviously married the older couplehood if you're so afraid of this person that you're living with that you got to wear a mask when you're in the car just roll the windows down you know just uh they can't even they can't even connect that part of it absolutely totally clueless and devoid of any rational critical thought about any of this stuff um yeah we uh i've told the

story before that we were driving around in the summer when all this uh black lives matter stuff and everything happened and the george floyd thing and you had a bunch of teenagers standing on the corner with signs saying, I can't breathe, and they were wearing masks. And so as I drove past, you know, the top was down. I said, if you can't breathe, take your mask off. That was in July, even. I mean, for months this stuff was going on, or June or July. I tell you, by the time we got to June, Father's Day,

I just got really depressed thinking about what my kids were going to go through living in such a country where the people are just so incredibly stupid and obedient and sheep-like. It was really depressing. It was one of the most depressing days of my life on Father's Day of 2020. Nobody's ever going to wake up with this stuff. I mean, I had a platform where I could tell people. I'd been telling people for months every way that I could think of.

This was nonsense. Wake up. But of course, it was a platform that had been created by alex and alex had uh been basically activated by the people who put him in position so he was telling everybody hey it's just uh uh it's just uh uh take the sugar water you can do that you know it's fine and it's 4d chess and and it's those dressed those uh those dastardly Chinese that are doing this to us, right? Not Trump. Not Trump.

No, no. He's our savior. The sudden change in policy roughly marks a four-year mark. Happiness. We all know what it feels like. But sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives,

but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Where they declared a pandemic by the WHO on march the 13th two days later as an obedient globalist trump signed his paperwork but of course it was the fix had been in for many many months

as i pointed out earlier in the week in september trump had signed another executive order talking about the mrna vaccine and all the rest of the stuff in response to the flu and what they were going to do about it. He was already preparing it. And of course, it had been prepared 20 years earlier, practiced 20 years earlier. That's why I was so absolutely certain of what this was. According to the CDC's press release, the new guidance brings a unified approach, they said, to addressing risks from a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, such as COVID-19, flu and RSV.

All of these are very common. And now they want people to take vaccines for all of these. The CDC still recommends vaccination for these respiratory diseases, even though Fauci's just come out and said, you know, you know, I don't think that a vaccine is going to be the right way to, uh, to handle some kind of a respiratory disease. Guess what? Neither were ventilators and some of the pulmonologists, people who's specialized in breathing disorders and things like that said, we've never done that with ventilators for

people who've got flu. What are we doing? That'll kill them. And yeah, they knew that, didn't they? Knew that. said we've never done that with ventilators for people who've got flu what are we doing that'll kill them and yeah they knew that didn't they knew that and in the uk you had the non-doctor matt hancock who was putting people on midazolam uh midazolam which which makes it more difficult for them to breathe another one of these things they had basic think of uh their their procedure and and what was it he made it like three times five times more than they'd ever purchased for this and made that

the standard of care as fauci would say so they had essentially a chemical ventilator to kill people with while we had the mechanical ones that trump and peter navarro were so happy to to put on us that's why you're gonna look at at Peter Navarro going to jail. It's like, fine. I'm fine with that. Just like it was with Dennis Hastert. They sent him to jail for a non-crime. They didn't come after him for his real crime. Same thing with Peter Navarro.

So stay in jail, pal. Enjoy it. Get three hots and a cut, as RFK Jr. said. CDC still recommends vaccination for all these respiratory illnesses. They're now saying, though, just practice good hygiene. Cover for coughs and sneezes. Wash or sanitize your hands often. Cleaning frequently touched surfaces.

Which, by the way, they proved in Germany that there wasn't any trace of anything on surfaces. Couldn't find the COVID virus. Couldn't isolate it on any hard surfaces, just like they couldn't isolate it in the labs. So much for all that. Taking steps for cleaner air, such as bringing in more fresh outside air. If you're in the car with your wife, roll the windows down instead of putting a mask on. How about that? Makes sense, doesn't it?

Or gather outdoors. Or roll the windows down and bring the outdoors indoors. Medical Express asks, but will schools and child care centers agree? After years of very restrictive policies at schools, many students and children have been greatly affected by them mentally mentally affected by them and it has become essentially a um you know lioness is now wearing the blanket on his face and it's a security blanket you know it says eric peters who's going to be joining us today says it's a it's a face diaper

but it's also a face security blanket for these people um not too many people were wearing masks in tennessee is one of the reasons why we decided to move here uh in 2020 when we traveled through and um you know and still you don't see very many people wearing it from what gerald slinty says up in New York, upstate New York, everybody's still wearing the masks and stuff like that. They're mentally damaged. Now, at this point, they have deprived their brain of so much oxygen. They couldn't think clearly before. They certainly can't think clearly now, but, uh, you know, it bothers me a great deal. Most of the time when I see somebody, I've only seen one young adult wearing masks but i've seen several kids wearing masks

and whenever i see it i tell karen i said that's the school that's the school and how many other ways is the school damaging this kid turning them into marxists racists hedonist deviants and all the rest of this stuff I mean that's what schools have become just disgust me to see what these government schools do that is the power of the school to see these kids wearing masks and why anybody would put their kid in a school like that it's beyond me. There are other options that are out there. And I just say, I know that single parents,

and there's a lot of single parents now, we have so many broken homes, and it's so hard, but it's only going to get harder if you let these people raise your child. It's just like the people who were under a lot of pressure and coercion about their jobs. And then they took the jab and now they don't have a job. They've got a disability if they're still alive, many of them. And so the free COVID-19 home tests are finally being stopped as well. They've been giving people free COVID tests for four years to feed the fear.

And of course, it was necessary for them to either wait or to hurry along the death of Kerry Mullis, the guy who had opposed Fauci on the PCR test and, um, you know, saying that Fauci used that to draw a connection between a virus and AIDS. And Kerry Mollis said, well, you know,

um, maybe that's the case, but he says, you certainly can't prove that using my test. And he adamantly opposed him on that. He said, you can't prove that this was caused by a virus using a PCR test. And if people would have listened to the guy who invented the PCR test, who had gotten the Nobel Prize,

then you would have known that Fauci and these other people could not prove a pandemic or even the fact that you were sick with a PCR test. And how many people went into isolation or whatever or got a vacation because they got a positive PCR test. And had absolutely no symptoms of anything. So as the Mises Institute says, COVID showed us who really rules America. Yeah, it really did. A couple of comments here. Hi, David.

You mentioned a previous stream, a hospital clinic in the USA where a person with bowel problems can go to get treatment. I don't remember that. They fast you for a while whilst the bowel heals. I don't recall that um i don't recall that i'm sorry i have to go back and look maybe it's just something that i've forgotten but maybe it was somebody else who did that uh kw68 so four years to flatten the nation yeah the flu was eradicated in the meantime yeah so that's the good news right according to our statistics flu was eradicated it all morphed into covet 19 uh handy the cdc is still recommending the jabs though yes they are

that's right they absolutely are uh and in spite of this in spite of the fact that it's over and in spite of the fact that according to them you know this pandemic that never existed is now over but you still got to get the jam and you still got to get the jab for flu still got to get the jab for rsv and they're going to make the flu an mrna shot as well uh because it's all about the money follow the money guard goldsmith good to see you guard i guess nikki haley is in self isolation for trump's great scientists i wish they all would self-isolate and leave us out of their political disease yeah yeah she hasn't shown her face oh what in the world did she think was her end game with all this stuff anyway yeah not that i'm a trump supporter but i mean this is really the whole system is just beyond belief.

And I'll get into that coming up later. You know, the LP, what does the LP become? Yeah. The LP, one of the reasons why I am not focused on the presidential race is because the LP was always focused on the presidential race. They had to do that in many States to retain ballot access. I tell you one thing the libertarian party is expert on is ballot access. What does it take to get on the ballot?

North Carolina, where I lived is one of the hardest States to get on the ballot and to retain ballot access. And so they're experts about that. They've been able to stay on the ballot and all 50 States throughout several election cycles. Uh, so, um, you know, uh, RFK juniors looking at that and saying, uh, each been I'm libertarian and that's not a jelly donut, but that's a, that's a political expedient now, uh, it's not even a party of principle. It's just a political expedient. You know, when, uh, JFK said, uh, he spent I in Berlin.

They cut it off because he was actually saying, I'm a jelly donut. He should have said, uh, you house actually saying I'm a jolly donut. We should have said, ich aus Berlin. I'm from Berlin. Anyway, the Mises Institute. COVID showed us who's really ruling America. And I said, of course, you know, we were told 15 days to slow the spread, to flatten the curve. Except that their model didn't have a curve. As I pointed out many times, it was a straight line.

Every person that gets infected is going to affect two and a half other people forever and ever. And we're all going to die. Just like from climate change. Another MacGuffin. Governors of states with evidence of community transmission should close schools in affected and surrounding areas, said President Trump and his guidelines.

Oh, he's the one who told us that? MAGA said that's not what it was. They said it was the bad governors. You know, the bad governors that he paid, the bad governors, Democrat and Republican, that he paid to do this, and the bureaucrats that he paid to do this, and the guy he put in charge of the country elevated him. And as he shamed and threatened governors who opened up after two weeks,

like Kemp in Georgia and DeSantis in Florida, Trump attacked them. Then when he's running for president, he attacks them because they didn't open up sooner than two weeks. What a demagogue he is. a demagogue so we got the democrat party we got the demagogue party or the democrats are demagogues as well uh it was at this time that an american president for the first time in american history introduced the idea that it was possible and perfectly legal for government institutions to quote close down unquote the economy by forcibly shutting countless businesses schools and churches in mass trump stated repeatedly in press conferences

that it was up to government officials to decide if we open up we'll tell you when to open up and kemp and desantis don't you open up before I tell you to. You stay closed. That's what I gave you the money for, right? It quickly became standard procedure for health bureaucrats, governors, and media figures to casually speak of closing the economy or opening up the economy, as if we were talking about a coffee shop and deciding on closing time.

Meanwhile, across the country, local law enforcement officers willingly worked to arrest or harass business owners to arrest or harass, um, worshipers at church or to arrest or harass soccer moms at the park. Remember that? And of course it was happening all over the world. Everybody was doing the same thing at the same time. It's almost like some kind of global agenda or something that Trump was in lockstep with. He's no different than Trudeau. They just had different masks that they put on.

And I'm not talking about the little handkerchiefs. The full mask that these guys were. Anyone else who has the temerity to venture outdoors for activities that were not approved by the ruling class, the bureaucrats, the small minority of Americans that remained committed to human rights and private property soon discovered how powerless they really are. Many dissenters were dismayed by a lack of action from the courts and how elected officials were apparently unwilling or unable to rein in the vast new powers of health officials. We didn't realize just how bought and sold these political whores were to the pharmaceutical industry

and the military-industrial complex that was ultimately running this thing. Was there nothing that could limit the state's power? This is confusing for many people because many have been and remain enamored of the idea that a written constitution limits state power when it matters the most. And, of course, the rest of this means is editorial, and they're right. They talk about the fact that ultimately it comes down to people. It's just a piece of paper unless you enforce it. When we talk about having a convention of the states and fixing the Constitution and requiring a balanced budget amendment or any of these other things they think is going to fix this stuff.

I said, well, it's still going to be enforced by people, right? We've seen the courts and politicians reject the first amendment, second amendment, fourth amendment, all the amendments.

And they really don't care about any of that stuff. And now they care about a couple, some people in the Republican party care about some limited aspects of a few of those because now they're infringing on the rights of president Trump. But other than that, just for you and I, you know, the, the, just the common Hoy Ploy, they, no, we're not going to bother with the bill of rights for those people. Trump's not going to stand up for you either.

You better stand up for yourself, for your family, for your future, their future. The center has learned a valuable lesson. It became abundantly clear how little constitutional government and the so-called rule of law actually limit a regime's power in terms and times rather of a perceived emergency. It is during emergencies. In fact, when we learn who really holds political power, you say it wasn't just the, the money that Trump released,

you know, when he declared an emergency, well, that's it. That's why I called it from the very beginning. I said, he's declared medical martial law. I'm done that guy i'm done with him forever he's never even turned to say that he did anything wrong he doubles down he triples down he quadruples down now for four

years this guy wants to pretend that everything was just wonderful well if you like 2020 elect 2020, elect that SOB again. The real de facto ruling class is the executive state, which effortlessly ruled by decree during the COVID crisis. This ruling clique, an oligarchy of governors, academic experts, media billionaires, countless nameless, faceless, unelected bureaucrats. And that's the key. You know, it is the executive state and it is all under the executive branch in Washington. And these governors and other people like that were paid coming out of Trump as, again, he's responsible for this. Biden is responsible for all this stuff, the border and everything else.

Republicans aren't going to give him a pass on that, and they shouldn't. He is responsible for it. Harry Truman said the buck stops here. Well, the buck started with Trump with all this stuff. And the emergency started with him. And he was king of the swamp. Most of this stuff is rolling out under all these bureaucrats. And you got all the state bureaucrats marching in lockstep with the federal bureaucrats and all those federal

bureaucrats are under the president under the executive branch he's king of the swamp he did not drain the swamp he made the swamp caesar caesar taxation without representation regulation without representation that's what the bureaucratic state is. And it's been going for quite some time. It's just that Trump took it to all new levels in 2020. Radice Bro, thank you very much for the tip. He says, finally, so tired of delivering those. David Blackburn, the CDC now sees covet as a flu well uh when you

think about it they couldn't hide the flu too much longer than what they did during this fake pandemic so no surprise there kwd 68 wearing masks is a good indicator of indoctrination level like evs and taylor swift t-shirts trump burger forever i'd say one to five percent of sheeple will still wear them in my still wear them in my area uh michael de silvia i haven't seen anyone wearing one in over two years we need to find out where he lives uh of course we have people who you know this is a tourist area so i don't know when i see somebody in a mask it's like are you from around here is what i should should go to say to them uh kwd 68 school systems like to disinfect then the germy kids return most germs don't live on surfaces that long but helicopter parents feel better about it

chevkin 321 in my area you see people wearing masks outside and going to liquor stores every day yeah uh kwd 68 maga has convinced themselves that biden did all the tyranny and trump listened to the wrong people yeah you know people like uh the ross giles who bailed him out with his casino bankruptcies he listened to them he listened to the goldman sachs bankers he listened to the military industrial complex he listened to cloud schwab because he did everything that schwab and the un wanted to do this whole thing was a scam it was a game they labeled him and just hammered this you know the two of them have this build-up of professional wrestling one of them is the hero one of them is the heel and they got it so ingrained in everybody for you know from the time that he was running for president until this happened, you know, for four years, they were hammering it into everybody. Oh, they hate Trump and Trump hates them.

He is the antithesis of the globalists. No, he went to Davos, met with them privately. It's fully on board. What scares me now is that they got away with fooling everyone with the misuse of PCR and they can do it again. That's right. That's right. And I'm going to talk about that at the end of this. We're not just this is not just about complaining about what was done and trying to wake up other people.

Many of you know this. So we're going to talk a little bit about what's happening in Australia as one group of people are saying. So what do we do to fix this? Now, but first of all, you need to to understand as we've all now experienced and as the Mises Institute to say the constitution is just a piece of paper and so if you're going to have a constitutional convention you're going to change the constitution guess who's going to be changing that piece of paper the same people that are there you don't need to change the constitution you need to change the people that are there. And these people just are the ones who are going to be writing the new constitution.

And then they'll come back and they'll say, yeah, now we've got the legal authority to do it. See, the one thing that is on our side, which he doesn't talk about here in the article, the one thing he doesn't mention is the fact that the fact that the Constitution is there gives us a foundation of moral authority and legal authority. And we need to have something to stand on. And that is still there. These people and their arrogance haven't bothered to change the Constitution. And so we've got to watch out because this Constitution,

this Convention of States idea, coming from mark levin and other people is the way that they can subvert this using conservatives because they always love to use conservatives to do this stuff they would not have been able to get away with this if hillary clinton had been president and uh they would not be able to if they put together a convention a bunch of lefties they wouldn't be able to subvert it. But if they can put somebody like Mark Levin in charge of it, that everybody thinks, oh, he's a conservative, and he's a commentator for Fox News, and he's all about liberty amendments and all the rest of this stuff. Well, if they can put him in there,

who knows what's going to happen in the convention. Then he can claim, I had nothing to do. I don't know what's going on. It doesn't matter. It's just a piece of paper unless you enforce it. And you have to enforce it from the ground up so the um as he said the real de facto ruling class is the executive state the billionaires the bureaucrats and so forth he said a couple libertarian political scientists out of europe carlo lotieri and marco bassani recognize the political power in times of emergencies is exercised by individual persons unconcerned with these abstract limits on their

power they don't care what the law is or the constitution again we're talking about medical martial law martial law and next time it might be a medical martial law, martial law. And next time it might be a climate martial law. It might be a disease X martial law, whatever. The fact is fundamentally at odds with the abstractions of constitutionalists to imagine that the state monopoly on coercion can be rendered relatively harmless via written constitutions. Constitutionalists believe that the written law will somehow restrain the ruling class, even in emergencies. But Lodieri and Bassani explain what the constitutionalists get wrong.

They said in every state, there is first a political dimension, and then a decision, which cannot be obscured by the so-called impersonality of the law and the super individuality of orders. This is why I focus on the executive orders, on the orders by Alex Azar at the end of January, by the executive order by Trump, Friday the 13th, and by the one the preceding September by Trump that laid even more foundations for this stuff. Beyond the apparent abstractions of the state, choices, interest, in short, people, impose their will on others, you see. It's like the Milgram experiment, too. All you have to do to get the police to go out and harass people

are doing nothing other than letting their kids play in the open-air park. How do you get the police to do that? Well, you give them a uniform, you give them a paycheck and the rest of the stuff, but it's also the Milgram experiment. And they found that regardless, it's not just America, it's every country that they've done it in. And in France, they had a TV show that reproduced this experiment, the Milgram experiment. And they had actors who pretended that they were getting shocked and all the rest of the stuff. And they pretended that they were going to give them lethal doses. They called it game of death.

They let the audience vote and wherever you do it, you always wind up with two thirds of the people will follow orders. Even if it means killing somebody, you give them a uniform, you tell them they got to follow orders and two thirds of the people will do that. And then you add, you know, all kinds of fiat cash from the federal government. I didn't need to see the Milgram experiment. I'd seen this first grade with crossing guards. And I'm sitting there in class and there's this person who after school, I used to ride and walk my bike all over the place.

And we didn't live that far from the school. So after school hours, and even before I started attending school, I would ride my bike down to their, um, free range kids was the norm back in the mid fifties and early sixties, I should say. And, uh, then after school, this person gets one of these uh you know day glow orange uh sashes you know goes over one shoulder and around their waist now she's a crossing guard and so i'm on my way home walking home and uh you can't cross it's like there's no cars coming you can't cross i'm telling you can't cross it's like there's no cars coming i'm not standing here and i cross you know i'm putting your name down and said you know how to spell it let me help you with this it's like a night with a k uh no seriously that kind of stuff what is how did

this just giving somebody a little glow glowing orange sash turns them into some kind of an authority figure i mean i didn't know anything about the Nazis or the Stasi's or the Milgram experiment or anything, but I, you know, it was all right there, you know, the beginning of school, first grade, and just, uh, the, the power trip, I guess that it gives to people. They want that little pat on the head. You did what I told you to do. That's good. That's good. That's good. It was a really powerful drug, I guess, you know,

for people to be connected to authority. The desire to be a minion, which I never understood. But I understand that there's a lot of people like that. The decision on the state of emergency is the ultimate test of sovereignty. Trump owned it. He owned it. Yet the naive view has often made the state appear to be less dangerous and has convinced many people to accept the state's monopoly of violence.

This is illustrated, does the Mises Institute. This is illustrated in the fact that the efforts to implement lockdowns in the U.S. were thoroughly bipartisan. Bipartisan. Opposition to lockdowns was virtually non-existent within regime institutions themselves. And this is something that is so hard to get across to the MAGA people. I mean, the Democrats are happy to take credit for all the lockdowns. They love all that stuff and yet you know the republicans hate all this stuff and yet they

won't um attribute it to any of their politicians who are going to save the day for them truly is amazing it's even more delusional when you see the the republicans who absolutely hate this stuff you can almost excuse it with the democrats who love it or who just can't make the connection. But they look at this and they know it's a poison. They know this is medical martial law, but they can't associate it with their hero. Opposition to lockdowns is virtually non-existent within the regime institutions themselves. And within the Democrat media, social media, state medical boards, state governors, local health officials were all more or less in lockstep in March and April 2020. Resistance came overwhelmingly from non-elites. Those of us who are not in the club. From ordinary people who are being persecuted by state agents,

by law enforcement officers, health officials, for opening their businesses, for attending church. It was only after non-elite political opposition began to look uncontrollable that some state institutions began to relent. Yet even as some pockets of resistance appeared, national elites remained virtually untouched, and the federally declared, Trump declared, state of emergency persisted until May of 2023.

How many times? And I opened up, it was more than 1,000 days, way more than 1,000 days. I used to begin the program after that happened. I began my program with America held hostage. I began by showing the pictures of the U.S. Embassy hostages in Iran captured. They had the cloth things over their eyes and then switched to the people had the cloth things over their mouth. And then we switched to a Trump and his military entourage as they're all marching in with a Trump having the mask with a presidential seal on his face.

And then I would say it's day, whatever, how many days has it been since he declared that state of emergency? And we went up to 1100 and something like that before May of 2023, when Biden finally took it away. And of course, Biden used it extensively as well. But it was Trump who began it. The most important tool of the elites during all of this, the monopoly power over the creation of money, was strengthened to levels never before seen. In a normal world, the power to destroy countless Americans' livelihoods by decree, which is what Trump did, would have faced fierce and immediate and perhaps violent opposition, especially if it had been Hillary. The elite's ability to create money via the central bank, however,

essentially provided the means of bribing the public into compliance. You see, Trump, like Biden, used money. Biden used money, you know, these mandates, this coercion that he had. What was it? He told the hospitals, you're going to vaccinate all of your staff, nurses and doctors, or I'm going to cut off Medicare, Medicaid, and you'll be bankrupt. And he did that after Trump had boosted it. So you tell me that somebody's got COVID.

You just make a clinical diagnosis. You can tell by looking at them, right? You point to them and you say, you've got COVID. You've got mail. And the check is in the mail. And they get massive amounts of money plus a 20% bonus on everything they do. Well, they got accustomed to that very quickly. And that ran for quite a while, you know, that ran for, um, so that ran until, uh, let's say it was September

that, um, that Biden did that. And I said, that and i said by the way i said he's going to mandate it in september and he'll mandate it with financial pressures and coercion and i said that uh the in december of 2020 uh whoever is there is going to mandate it in september because that's when school starts and so that's what they did they They mandated it in September. They used a financial pressure. They said to the hospitals that had been getting that free money at that point for a year and a half. And they said, now you're going to lose it. And all of your Medicare, Medicaid, if you don't vaccinate your people, that's the way they do it. They attach the strings. They get you addicted to it.

Addicted to that federal money it's the fiat cash that allows these people to rule by fiat dictates that's the way they get their way the elite's ability to create money via the central bank provided a means of bribing the public into compliance so yeah the um give people their stimulus checks and um you know just um keep this whole thing going and we don't really care if we spend trillions and trillions of dollars and anybody who says otherwise trump's gonna gonna primary out thomas massey because he opposed spending three and a half trillion dollars on this stuff nearly four years later, the regime and its elites have faced no real reckoning over their nearly

untrammeled attacks on human rights and private property. Most challenges to government mandates were left unanswered because legal challenges were declared moot as a regime ended its mandates. Oh, you know, we're going to run this thing out for years. Oh, now they've taken the order off so we're

not even going to hear the case that didn't change anything when they wanted to put in some firearm limitations in the 1930s with that sawed-off shotgun right the miller case the guy died and they continued the case didn't say that was moot because they wanted the supreme court to rule on this thing instead of precedent so even though the died, they're going to continue on with it. These powers will remain available to the regime the next time it decides to declare an emergency, for whatever reason. Unfortunately, we find very few of the powers seized and exercised during this period are convincingly curtailed.

By the way, it isn't just a climate emergency or pandemic emergency. They could declare an emergency over the loss of Internet. Right? They could take down the Internet, make it look like they're anybody that they want to because of the Vault 7 tools that they've got. And everybody's got it. You have a hack, you never know who did it. You can never know. And anybody who tells you that they know is trying to push some kind of a political agenda on you.

Because we've all seen what was released by WikiLeaks. They can make it look like they are anyone in the world. And, you know, just take a look at that. And so that might be an emergency where they do all this stuff. Most of these powers, especially those of the central bank, will return in force during the next emergency. It could be a financial emergency. It could be an internet emergency. Even if the regime has to rely on slightly different legal claims and methods,

the Trump regime's efforts to exercise vast new powers were supercharged by the fact that the public offered so little resistance. And now they want to elect this SOB again. The free money from the central bank helped in all this, but the bribery was the only part of the equation that really mattered. The unfortunate fact is much of the public accepted the claims of the experts that the lockdowns and mandates are all perfectly legitimate and fully necessary. And of course, they cheered Benedict Donald. Mises understood that political power is not limited by words on parchment or legal theories.

Power is limited only by ideological resistance to the state that then manifests itself as practical political opposition. Uh, Lugwig von Mises wrote, there has never been a political power that voluntarily desisted as RFK jr. Said, you know,

they're not ever going to give this back. They've never given back anything they've stolen from impeding the free development and the operation of the institution of private ownership of the means of production, the governments tolerate private property when they are compelled to do so, but they do not acknowledge it voluntarily in recognition of its necessity. The tendency to impose oppressive restraints on private property, to abuse political power, to refuse to respect or recognize any free sphere outside or beyond the dominion of the state is too deeply ingrained in the mentality of those who control the government apparatus of compulsion and coercion for them to ever be able

to resist it voluntarily. And if you're Donald Trump, you'll brag about the power that you had, and you'll tell everybody how you saved their lives. As you killed tens of millions of people with your poison shot alone, governments must be forced into adopting liberalism by the power of the unanimous opinion of the people that they could voluntarily become liberal was not to be expected. And by that, he means liberal. He means freedom liberal in the classic sense, liberal used to mean liberty. Okay. That's another thing. The left loves to play with labels

and steal labels when they're good. We have every reason to believe that federal, state, and local COVID-related emergency powers would have been exercised with far greater enthusiasm by the regime had not it been for the resistance of the vocal minority. None of those politicians on the ballot yesterday in the 15 states, not a single one of them did a thing. It was only resistance at the local level by individuals who determined not to bow to this tyranny. That's the only thing that checked their hands. And that's eventually what turned them back. And it's what's going to stop

them in the future. Not your vote. These elections are nonsense. The absolute nonsense. Yes. Take a look at them to see what the threat is. They're not going to save you. They're not going to change anything. They're not going to enforce the Constitution. That's for you to enforce. If we want to know what really limited the regime's power during the COVID panic. He says panic. He doesn't say pandemic. He knows. We must look to the do not comply activists who are willing to lose jobs and social status as a result of their opposition to the regime. It was primarily people who were portrayed as crazed malcontents by the regime, by the Trump

regime, as well as the Biden regime regime who stood between the regime and the full use of its power the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights played virtually no role in limiting the state's power during the emergency and here's why I disagree with them I think that is important as I said before you have to be able to take a stand you have to have principles and you have to have something you're going to stand on. And so you had people who stood on the constitution, who stood on the bill of rights, who stood on their religious beliefs to not comply. And that's the key thing. You got to have something, as I've said many times, our faith in Christ gives us a fulcrum point that is outside of this world.

And if you've got that faith and if you're trusting in that, you've got something that they don't have any power over you. Even if they kill you, they don't have any power over you. That's a very important thing. You've got to have that. And you've got to know you've got to have the authority and the foundation. You have to have the vision of what our government should look like. That's what the Bill of Rights and the Constitution provides. It provides that vision.

You don't like what they're doing now? Well, what would you do differently? Well, I would enforce the Constitution. I'd bring it back by force if necessary. That's the thing what remains of freedom today was saved by nothing other than a small amount of public resistance that made the regime think twice about extending indefinitely its experiment in tyranny and folks this is why I wouldn't

go near that January the 6th stuff with a 10 foot pole you're going to show up and try to keep this guy in office who did this This is why I wouldn't go near that January the 6th stuff with a 10-foot pole. You're going to show up and try to keep this guy in office who did this? You're going to go to an event that's going to be loaded with agent provocateurs who are going to set you up to put you in prison? I said that to people. I told them Alex was ripping them off and putting them in danger, and they went anyway. Anyway, so the battle is for the hearts and minds. Alex was ripping them off and putting them in danger. And they went anyway. Anyway.

So the battle is for the hearts and minds. And it's only going to be the people of principle who are going to fight this. And the people of principle are going to have to have something to stand on. That's why I disagree with this. Otherwise, excellent. And kudos to the people at the Mises Institute who put Trump's name in there. Most people, the virus did it to us. The pandemic did it to us.

The Biden did it to us. I think the Democrat governors did it to us. Every excuse. But he who must not be named. Trump was named in this. So good for them. And they got it absolutely right. You got to have something to stand on.

You got to take your stand, but you're not going to take your stand in thin air. And you have to have a vision of what you want. That's the key thing. And so this Brownstone article, before we quit and take a break, and I want to get to some of your comments here. This is from Gigi Foster. It was picked up by Brownstone. We build anew in Australia.

And I'm not going to go into all the details here, but the bottom line is that she said in mid-November 2023, they set up an organization, Australians for Science and Freedom. And she said, for the benefit of readers finding themselves in or wanting to establish similar nascent groups

across the world, let me share the experiences and logic that have motivated us in founding and framing Australians for Science and Freedom and guiding us into organizing, structuring, and planning to build for this conference. And she said, why do we do this? Well, because the key thing was, she said, a problem many people had with this, always do, is they think that they're alone, that nobody else thinks like this. This is the power of propaganda, the power of the government and the government complacent media to make you think that you're alone.

And so part of this is finding other people and then to be able to make sure that you keep lines of communication open, that you start to build from the ground up. This is what I've been talking about for a long time, actually doing it in Australia. Many people thought they were literally all alone and going crazy in their mind for years. This is not, and that's especially true of people who were injured, of families of people who had died. I thought, well, this is, Fauci says it's rare. I guess it just happened to us. It's happening to everybody. A lesson to draw from the COVID era is to see the divisive narratives,

whether you're talking about COVID or climate or gender or whatever, being pushed continuously by today's media, governments, and other large entities, for the poisonous and self-serving propaganda they are. You see, it was necessary for Trump to poison your mind before he could poison your bodies. Being led to see other humans as enemies, whether because they're coughing or because they're using coal-fired energy, or because they're not demonstrating uncritical acceptance of our subjective reality, not only is destructive to our psychological and social health, but it cripples our ability to call out actual problems that are being regularly sidestepped and often made worse by those self-same large entities. So one job of this organization was to organize as many disparate independent thinkers who believe reform is both needed and possible and to broadly adhere to a few core guiding

principles. So how do we do it? Well, they said, you know, we have to, um, that often initially finding each other through hopeful cold calls or third-party referrals and learning gradually about one another's strengths and weaknesses. In other words, it's a connection process that is there. The contributions range from writing books and op-eds to holding local events and other things like that.

So this is one of the reasons why they have to shut down social media, because people will be able to connect with social media, obviously. People will be able to share their thoughts on social media. It's one of the reasons why we've got to get out of social media, because all of those tools of control are there. You know, Elon Musk, while we reinstituted proper pronouns and no dead naming and all the rest of this stuff, and then after blowback, he said, no, we just, that's not for everybody.

That's just in Brazil because of a court decision or whatever. They'll shut it down immediately when all they have to do is just declare an emergency and he will comply. He became the world's richest man. Now his stocks has dropped, but you know, he's still, you know, essentially they became the world's richest man by doing exactly what the governments want. And perhaps what the government wants is a billionaire that you trust as a savior, whether it is Trump or whether it's Elon Musk.

Maybe that's also something they want. Did you think about that? So anyway, they organized some conferences and started doing that. But here's the key thing. And you can read the whole article there at Brownstone. But she said, so we challenge people in these sessions. We said, so you don't like the present health system? Well, what would a better one look like?

And where can we try it out? You don't like what's being taught at schools? Well, what curriculum and what schooling protocols would you suggest? And how about trying out your ideas in your neighborhood with your own kids? How about doing it in your own house with your own kids? You don't like the mainstream media. How might you open an alternative channel and draw on the lessons embodied in the experiences of others?

And so she said, we're just learning. We just started. But it's important that people start to come together and that they have a rallying point and that they realize that they're not alone. That is one of the key things with all of this. Thank you very much for the tip. He says, I was shocked to learn that we currently live under 42 active national emergency declarations. Yeah, there's no constitution as far as these people are concerned. they put that stuff

there and they leave it there so they can say that they're independent of it 17 of them have been signed by trump and biden in the last six and a half years there you go uh michael de silvia newsom declared a permanent state of emergency in california yeah and it's it's pretty clear why they've got a state of emergency, isn't it, as well. And so, Chevkin 321 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the mask signs and the social distancing signs still remain in place. See, there is a difference in localities, isn't there? And that's why it's important. You know, you might want to think about that if there's any way for you to move.

Because you're going to get it really extra hard the next time as well because you're still getting it now it's the mentality of the people it's like you know it's like gerald he's staying in new york he's got an attachment to that area uh but you know it's it's gonna be harder and be harder there michael pomroy my barber just went in to do some cleaning and maintenance, and the cops showed up to make sure he wasn't opening. Yeah. How many times we see that? Remember that elderly barber who wasn't afraid? You know, and they made him part of a protest there at the Capitol grounds in Michigan against Whitmer.

I came after him as well too i'll never forget you know the i use the example many times of the woman who had a it was some nail salon or something like that or a hair salon and you had this guy who was the judge the the county judge in texas is the top official and he had been around when Ebola came to town I've told this story many times he was out there telling everybody oh it's nothing it's nothing we've got so many hospitals and doctors and nurses it's nothing and there was an illegal immigrant who came in and um not even an immigrant a foreign citizen who came here illegally from africa who had ebola he was very sick he ultimately died and two nurses who treated him caught it as well uh but this guy um clayton or something like that

was his name i can't remember. He's still judged there. But he went around there, and he drove the guy to the hospital or something like that and made a point of walking around without having any protective clothing on or a mask. Told everybody, go to the football games. We've got a football game coming up, a professional game. Everybody go. We've got lots of hospitals and doctors, no problem.

And then when all this stuff came around, he went after this woman who had this nail salon. Her name was Shelly something. And he put all kinds of charges against her. Wanted to put her in jail. Came up with massive fines,

all the rest of the stuff. The people that are there locally, you better pay attention because they can really make your life hell. They can make life worse than the feds or worse than the state would do. Um, or they can make it better. Uh, David Blackburn, thank you very much for the tip. And he says, a friend of mine, an actor years ago had a holistic clinic that was shut down by the AMA police.

Yeah. Oh, they love that monopoly, don't they? Rockefeller has helped them with all of that stuff. KWD68, whatever the cause, people will comply. Look forward to my noncompliance again. YJ72, people wearing masks are like waiting for a pat on the back. They want to be seen as an example of something, nothing other than sheep. Birdhouse Blue says, but my face mask protected you, so I deserve a little thank you.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And, you know, they even had the audacity to try to use the logic of, well, we tell people they got to wear seatbelts or anything. Oh, so my seatbelt doesn't protect me. My seatbelt protects you and your car, right? The motorcycle helmet doesn't protect the motorcycle home uh motorcyclist it it protects the driver in the car or actually the motorcycle helmet protects the semi-truck driver who hits the motorcyclist it was stupid everything about

it was just beyond stupidity chef can 321 massacres in my area usually look neurotic. Soylent Goy said excess deaths are up in the UK for kids 9 to 14 by 22%. Yes. Yeah. David Blackburn says, David, it's worse than the crossing guards. Are the police who are given state authority a badge gun tasers yet are unelected and have no duty to protect anyone and no constitutional knowledge. That's why it's important to try to get a constitutionally elected sheriff.

You know, we don't vote for the police officers and they actually they work for the, you know, their bureaucrats who are not answerable to you. You know, at least with the sheriff's deputies and stuff, they can go off the rails as well. But at least, you know, in theory, you can vote the sheriff out. But sometimes you got to go the Athens, Tennessee route with the sheriff's Audi MRR. Good to see you there. Modern Retro Radio says more than half of my YouTube comments are auto deleted. Wow. Is that right?

So I can't even log in to YouTube anymore. I'm so totally banned. So I don't even bother trying to set up an account. Social media has taken censorship to the next level. Yeah, it has. And I've gone to the next thing. Life is too short to worry about whether or not these people at YouTube like what I'm doing or not. I really don't care anymore.

And I really don't care about Twitter. We'll be right back. Elvis and the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the oldies channel at APS radio.com. Субтитры создавал DimaTorzok Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Yeah, we had an interesting thing happen at the VA. Here you're seeing pictures of people on VJ Day, that's Victory Over Japan Day, when the war actually ended. Celebrations

in New York, there were a lot of people taking pictures that day. A lot of people hugging and kissing total strangers, but there was one particular kiss that became very famous. That one right there eventually became known as the kiss. The kiss. Well,

we've got people who are running this federal government who literally hate us they hate our history and everything about us and a good example of this happened with the department of veteran affairs they banned that photograph from all department facilities it was so iconic that they had it up at, uh, uh, many of these veteran places. And I'm going to play for you. The guy who was the, uh, the sailor who kissed that nurse. Uh, it's a little video where he talks about what happened that day. Talks a little bit about his work experience and why he kissed a nurse, uh, then, and it wasn't just the free alcohol that was flowing everywhere.

There's something else there as well. Uh, but, um, there was a memo that went out yesterday and it said to promote a culture of inclusivity and awareness. Your cooperation is vital to get rid of this picture everywhere. Take it down right away.

Isn't it such cynical orwellian doublespeak to call their censorship their intolerance of all of this stuff inclusivity isn't it it makes me sick to see this kind of stuff and um it was um a a person who was actually a memo by somebody in authority uh but the person above her overrode that. And so the photo will stay on display as the head of the VA spoke out about it. As you can imagine, once it was posted, what had happened and somebody posted the memo on social media, it went viral. And so even the Biden administration, even those guys had to back off because, you know,

after all, this is an election year. Secretary Dennis McDonough acted hours after a copy of the memo from a VA assistant undersecretary. This, by the way, people looked into this person's background. This is evidently somebody who has had a very troubled past and the bureaucracy, but of course they never fire anybody. They just moved them to another jurisdiction. There's massive problems. There was an AIDS outbreak at some VA hospital that somebody implied she might be guilty

of negligence in it. But of course, you know, they, instead ofence in it but of course you know they instead of investigating this instead of you know perhaps holding her accountable they just move her same kind of thing they did with um uh the satanist michael aquino who was a colonel or a lieutenant colonel or something and he worked for the nsa and he um orderly abused kids there at the Presidio. Young kid said, no, that's Michael in his house, and he's got a black room in his house. And his grandfather, who was a chaplain there, said, what?

As a matter of fact, he did have a black room there. But as they began investigation procedures, the NSA moved this satanic pedophile, he'd gone on Oprah Winfrey bragging about how he was, you know, I had this little, uh, satanic church that he was doing and all the rest of this stuff, they took this literal satanic pedophile and they moved him to another jurisdiction. So this woman's been moved around with all the problems that she's got, uh, the photos removal from all VA health facilities,

the memo about that was shared extensively on social media. The memo had said that the photo, quote, depicts a non-consensual act, unquote, and it's inconsistent with the department's sexual harassment policy. So the VA head, McDonough, on Tuesday tweeted out a copy of the image, which appeared in life magazine and added, let me be clear. This image is not banned from VA facilities and we will keep it in VA facilities at least until after the election.

Then we'll see because the Biden administration is getting crazier and crazier, aren't they? Of course, so is the Trump administration. Trump has been at the very forefront of all of this other stuff right as well uh certainly in his personal life he's been promoting this kind of stuff two people familiar with the memo confirmed it was authentic and said that mcdonough had never approved it and he rescinded it once informed that it had been sent out. And it even got to the White House press secretary, Jean Pierre, who said the VA is not going to be banning this photo.

And I imagine that's where, you know, they got on the phone with a VA head about that. Copies of the memo racked up millions of views on social media, became a political lightning rod. The photo was taken August 14thth 1945 known as vj day the day japan surrendered to the united states as people spilled into new york city streets from restaurants bars and movie theaters celebrating the news george mendonza spotted greta friedman spun her around and planted a kiss the two had met, and they were kind of like ships that pass in the night, except it was during the day, never knew each other.

The photo by Alfred Eisenstadt is called VJ Day in Times Square, but most people know it simply as The Kiss. Friedman told the Library of Congress in 2005 that it wasn't a romantic event she said it was just an event of thank god the war is over kind of thing she added in an oral history of the photo it wasn't my choice to be kissed the guy just came over and kissed her grabbed oh well there we go she died in 2016 at the age of 92 he died in 2019 at the age of 95 they were the same age and as a matter of fact this has been um celebrated even with statues i had not seen this before um i'm sorry that's wrong one let's take a look here this is uh uh and it's been in several different locations

and so it's a large statue that somebody made out of this photograph. I've seen a very large statue. As a matter of fact, we were there and took pictures of it. The American Gothic statue where you got the guy with the pitchfork and the farmer and his wife and everything, they had a really big version of that in Chicago when Karen and I were there. But this picture, there it is in one particular place. Here it is a little bit closer. You can see the picture there.

And they've had it in a lot of different locations. Here it is on a pier. I think that might be in Sarasota. I'm not sure. We got a little bit more information coming up about that. But it had a bit of an issue. It's been these people who are out there trying to uh rewrite the the rules for society put graffiti on the leg of the nurse and tagged it with hashtag me too graffiti

it has been removed out of several locations because of people who are complaining about this. The Thursday memo informed Veterans Integrated Services Network directors that the photo depicted, quote, a non-consensual act and violated the no-tolerance policy towards sexual assault and harassment. It was done by Rima Ann O. Nelson, an assistant undersecretary, who allegedly argued that his removal would promote a more comfortable atmosphere in centers. Yes, we have to make sure that nobody is offended by anything. Let's just take everything down. Just have, you know, brutalist architecture and white walls everywhere.

Because it's medication time. One flew over the cuckoo's nest to foster a more trauma informed environment that promotes the psychological safety of our employees and the veterans that we serve. Photographs depicting the VJ day and time square should be removed from all VA facilities. She said in her memo perspectives on historical events and their representations evolve. She noted, she said, recent discussions have highlighted concerns about the non-consensual nature of the kiss, prompting debate on consent and the appropriateness of celebrating such images in today's environment,

especially within institutions such as the VHA facilities, which are committed to upholding standards of creating a safe and respectful environment. You see, this is the new America spelled with a K. These are people who have been thoroughly brainwashed, propagandized, indoctrinated in our school system, and then are trying to make a name for themselves in this bureaucracy. The memo urged directors to instead hang photos capturing the spirit of victory and peace without compromising the VA's safe and respectable environment, she said. Your cooperation in this matter is vital. Please ensure these photographs are promptly removed.

What I would like to know is, since they left the photos up, did they remove her? You better believe they didn't. There's no word at all about that. She's still in place until after the election. Rima N. O. Nelson. The email's subject line was Operational Memorandum. Removal and Replacement of VJ Day and Times Square Photographs. Yeah. Truly amazing. and it took a while took a while it was that went out on the 29th of february that was last thursday

and from thursday to tuesday that order was in effect as far as most people were concerned maybe some of the people who got the memo were told to take it down were the ones who leaked it. But, you know, it was there for nearly a week. And so what is the story behind this photograph? It's kind of interesting. The photograph was published a week later in Life magazine, among many photographs of celebrations around the United States. A 12-page section that was titled Victory Celebrations. But that particular picture stood out.

In two different books, the photographer gave two slightly different accounts of taking the photograph. The first one here was the one we'll talk about. He says, in Times Square, on V-J Day, I saw a sailor running around the street, grabbing any and every girl in sight, whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn't make any difference. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder, but none of the pictures that were possible pleased me. Then suddenly in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse. If she had been dressed in a dark dress, I would have never

taken the picture. If the sailor had worn a white uniform, same way. But I took exactly four pictures and it was done within just a few seconds. Only one is right on account of the balance. And the other is the emphasis is wrong. The sailor's on the left side is either too small or too tall. People tell me that when I'm in heaven, they'll remember this picture. U.S. Navy photojournalist Victor jorgensen captured another view of the same scene see if you can pull that up they've got that in that article there um this is the one about um

the historical photos here um yeah scroll down there's another another angle of that that was captured by another photographer um well maybe not maybe it's not on there um maybe it's the other article i think it's got a lot of different photographs on it. Um, anyway, he was a Navy photojournalist, Victor Jorgensen. Uh, he titled his photograph kissing the war goodbye. And, uh, so, um, I said, uh, actually that was the other angle. I think, uh, that was kind of a side angle in that picture. That's the top.

Yeah. That's a different angle. Uh, decades later, the unknown couple was identified as an American sailor, George Mendoza, as I said before. I think that was kind of a side angle in that picture. That's the top. Yeah, that's a different angle. Decades later, the unknown couple was identified as an American sailor, George Mendoza, as I said before. Both of them were 21 years old. And so I gave you her story and I'll give you his story as he tells it here. But that sculpture that I was showing, the guy who did it, did it as I took it from the photograph. And back in 2005, they had the first temporary installation in Sarasota.

He manufactured a life-size bronze precursor to the huge statues. He called it unconditional surrender using a computer copying technology that would be used for the entire series 25 feet tall a styrofoam version of the statue was part of a temporary exhibit in sarasota 2005 at the bayfront and so i think that's where this is right there uh and then um then the controversies began in 2007. Uh, they put in a temporary installation in California, in Chicago, big naval base there, but you know, it is in California. So people are not happy about that. 2009 aluminum copy to Sarasota, uh, gets into, uh, uh, creates a controversy. And, uh, this is what has happened to our society now.

So he wasn't the only one, of course, taking pictures. As I said, Life Magazine had an entire magazine about that victory, and another photographer, William Shrout, has a lot of similar photographs. I showed some of those at the opening of this. But he says they capture one thing that Eisenstadt could not easily have captured. Images of Eisenstadt himself. In one photo, Eisenstadt kisses a reporter. His camera slung over his shoulder.

In a pose not unlike that of the famous kissy photograph that day. In another, he and that woman walked towards Shrout with bright smiles on their faces. Shrout's images of a host of other anonymous embraces helped put that famous kiss in context. And Shrout's images of the man behind that photo remind us that even if a photojournalist is meant to be an impartial witness to history,

he is also a part of history that he's witnessing. Makes me think of sam uh sam montoya who uh it was there to cover january the sixth that's what they came after him for you know because he got enthusiastic and said some shouted some things he didn't he walked between the velvet ropes he took pictures anything but everything. But, you know, these people, these Biden Democrats, and not just Biden Democrats, there's all these Democrats and many of the Republicans. But I want to play for you what the sailor said in recollection of this and how it took him a long time to realize that he was the guy that was there

and how he knew it was him. This is from the American Veterans Center veterans center you know they used to celebrate veterans years and years before in times square when they're celebrating the end of the war and a few drinks i didn't know who the hell i grabbed i knew she was had the uniform. Well, we had been in the Pacific for two years. Now back in 45 now, at that time of the war we had just taken Okinawa. That was going to take about six months to get the American army out of Europe, get them all the way out there for the invasion of Japan. So a few ships out there like the Sullivans, we'd been out there for two years,

I guess they said, send them guys back to the States. So in July of 45, we got our orders to come home. My younger sister married a Navy guy here in Newport, and he was from Long Island, New York, originally. He says his parents were coming from Long Island up here to visit him, and they brought their niece with them. So I met the niece, and I said, holy jeez, she beautiful.

So I kept in touch with Denise by phone. And now my leave was running out and the war was still on. So I said, well, I'll make reservations to fly out of New York. Went to New York the last few days of my leave and I met Denise. It was my last day in New York. We're in the Radio City Music Hall. While the show was going, I went watching the Rockettes, the whole bit. And all of a sudden, there's a hell of a commotion out on the streets.

And the people out on the streets are pounding on the doors of Radio City. And in the theater, we're wondering, what the hell's going on outside there? So finally they stopped the show, and they put the lights on, and they said, the Japs have surrendered, the war's over. Well, the people in Radio City went wild. We come down into Times Square, Christ, there's a million people there. So my date and I, we go into Child's Bar, and the bartender put all the glasses up on the bar,

and he's pouring the booze. And whatever he poured, you drank. So we're coming down into Times Square, the war's over, and boy, I'm telling you, Times Square was wild. And I had quite a few drinks in me, and I saw the nurse. Now, let's go back five months in the war, we're still back in the Pacific. And just before we left out there, the aircraft carrier, the Bunker Hill, she got hit. She took a couple of suicide dive bombers. Some of them planes on deck started exploding and burning up. It was a hell of a fire. And we was ordered to go alongside of her. And there was a lot of men on the Bunker Hill that were trapped in the fires.

Well, they started jumping off the Bunker Hill and we picked up hundreds of them. We met the hospital ship, the Solis was the name of the hospital ship. And we're transferring the wounded onto the hospital ship. And I saw what those nurses did that day. They're these guys and they're hurting. And I still remember the back of my head. So now back in Times Square when the war ends and I saw the nurse, if that girl did not have a nurse's uniform on, I never would have done that.

What I remembered out there, and that would have done that. I remember it out there. And that's what did it. Of course, after it was over, I went my way and the nurse went her way, thought nothing of it. And one day, this guy Francis Sylvia, he's deceased today, but Francis Sylvia called me up one day and he says, where the hell were you the day the war ended? And I says, I was in Times Square the moment the war ended. I says, he says, well, I know goddamn well you was.

I says, how the hell do you know where I was? You're asking me where I was. He says, well, I got a Life magazine here, and there's a picture of a sailor grabbing a nurse. He says, I know it's you. I said, you're kidding me. He says, I know it's you. I said, well, bring the magazine over the house. And he brings the Life magazine, and I looked at it, and my first reaction, what I saw was the hand, the first thing. I said, goddamn, that is me. I hadn't remembered nothing about the kiss and the excitement of Times Square's a few years. And I looked at it and looked at it, and then I began to study it, and then I found my initials

tattooed on my right arm. It's in the photo. And I knew it was me. I could see the face. I knew it was me. Yeah. Well, you know, that's the way America used to be. As we have listeners saying. They went through war, depression, everything else. And the country was in much better shape than today much better shape in so many different ways um after that's kwd 68 says after after a decade of

that kind of stuff brian and deb mccartney what uh this is ridiculous yeah it is ridiculous so they come after it audi modern retro radio says after the election they're going to replace that photo with a picture of lindsey graham giving zelinski a big kiss sorry about that visual yeah it's uh junk silver the vj day photo incident is yet another example of how the marxists are constantly probing and testing how much they can get away with exactly and if people hadn't said anything about it they would have done it just like they did all of the uh stuff to us and nobody said anything about it we had a lot of people saying hey it's it's it's trump he's just playing 4d chess leave him alone don't criticize him uh test how much they can get away with how much of our culture they can debase at any given time and whether or not they can kill us and we'll just go along with it enslave us lock us up lock us down whichever way you want to go

uh force and goal says if the nurse didn't make an issue of it then who has the right to make an issue of it i really wish people would stop getting upset for other people the person getting upset claiming racist or sexual harassment is the one with the issues birdhouse blues could this erasure of history be classified as a generational genocide yeah yeah jason barker good to see jason notice the lack of morbidly obese people in those old photos we need to be able to get back out and active like we used to i agree and i think there's a you know a lot of it is in our food as well we're going to talk about that when we come back um uh trump burger forever where are the fat people that's right they're here today they're here today i don't know where

they come from they're they're everywhere they they kind of knew that was going to happen and yeah we don't get much exercise we eat a lot of garbage and then there are real chemical disruptors all of those things combined i mean it's just just like when you see the collapsing population it's mental it's social it's psychological it's chemical there's so many different components to it that's what makes it so intractable, the problem. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Looking for better information?

And now, The David Knight Show. Well, you know, before I say anything at all about the Super Tuesday stuff and what's going to happen with politics, to me, this is more important. A story that's not widely covered, actually. This is out of Syracuse, New York. And there were a couple of places where this was picked up. Fox News picked it up. They picked it up they picked it up in new york and the new york uh paper in syracuse was the one who really spun this in a weaponized way listen to this headline upstate new york

creamery owner admits to selling raw milk cheese that led to two deaths from listeria outbreak now why would they put it that way i looked at that it's like oh listeria outbreak. Now, why would they put it that way? I looked at that and it's like, oh, listeria? When we were living in Texas, Blue Bell Ice Cream had a listeria issue. They were not using raw milk, by the way. I like Blue Bell Ice Cream. It's really good ice cream. But they don't use raw milk. It was in their factory.

It was a cleaning issue. They had some machines there that were not cleaned properly. they don't use raw milk. It was in their factory. It was a cleaning issue. They had some machines there that were not cleaned properly. Listeria bacteria, which is evidently there around milk or whatever, if you're not careful, if you don't clean it carefully. Got into that, and people got sick. I don't remember if anybody died or not. But they massive fines they had to shut down that factory but you know the um the government gave them massive fines there was criminal charges against an officer that was there and so i know that it

wasn't raw milk was not the issue it's a sanitation issue but anybody can have a sanitation issue but they want to make it about the raw milk. There's about a couple employees who did not clean this up and they'd had a couple of issues with it. But now, because of what's going on with Amos Miller in Pennsylvania and other things like that, nearby New York wants to chime along with that. It's always raw milk. The owner of a Delaware County creamery pleaded guilty in Syracuse yesterday in federal court to producing cheese that caused a listeria outbreak that killed two people and hospitalized six others in 2016. But again, it doesn't have anything to do with it being raw milk. Same thing has happened with many other producers, happened with a big Blue Bell producers making ice cream out of non raw milk. Same thing has happened with many other producers, happened with a big Bluebell producers making ice cream out of non-raw milk. He pleaded guilty to causing the introduction of adulterated food into interstate commerce. So they made it a federal case, made a federal case out of it.

And again, you know, when we talk about adulterated food, I guess he could just plead, it's adult food. You know, it's the kind of stuff you're supposed to have when you're older, right? It's like adult movies or adult pictures. No, those are adulterated.

That's adulterated sex. That's what they mean by adult. It doesn't. Yes, it is limited to people at a particular age, but what they really mean by it is it's an adulterated view of sex. This is a adulterated food. And so here's the Fox headline.

It's a little bit more responsible. New York cheesemaker pleads guilty in 2016 Listeria outbreak case. They don't mention the raw milk stuff. They said that he had repeatedly tested positive for the bacteria from 2014 to 2017. It didn't have anything to do with the fact that it was raw milk. It was just an unclean facility that was there. And yet, this is weaponized propaganda to shut down our food supply. Well, you've got to be very afraid of these farmers out there.

You need to get your food in a pristine grocery store. That's really where you need to go, right? The EU is passing major legislation that ties into what we've been talking about, the 30 by 30, the 50 by 50, 30% of the land, they want to be controlling that by 2030. And that's part of their agenda in the EU. In the U.S., they're saying 50% by 2050. They're much higher in the EU. They want to go to 80%.

And Syrian Girl, in terms of the bacteria stuff, says pretty much all of the listeria and bacterial illness associated with raw milk has been traced back to pasteurized milk, a deli, or something else. Raw milk has beneficial enzymes that kill pathogens, which are killed in the heat of the pasteurization process. That's right. Yeah, the local dairy that we go to here, we go on Saturdays because they're open up to the public on Saturdays. And some of their stuff is sold in stores, and so they have to go through light pasteurization in order to be able to do that. And so what that does is that takes out some of the beneficial probiotics, takes out the beneficial probiotics. But they don't homogenize it

and it is completely different from the milk and homogenization is a very dangerous i think so you know we get it for that we haven't found a raw milk producer but um that is um they have great great milk and uh they don't do any cheese or anything like that michael pomeroy if people die from raw milk we would have all been dead centuries ago that's right yeah they they not only didn't die but uh they had a lot more kids than we're able to have today and um so there's something in the food that uh is a lot more unhealthy than what they used to have jason barker says how are we all not dead after drinking raw milk for centuries? Same thing.

A cult priestess says England still allows raw milk and cream. I tried clotted cream from England. Mmm, not yummy. She said clotted cream. Yeah, I don't know what that is. So what are they doing in the EU? Last week, the EU quietly passed a controversial landmark bill. Yeah, it is setting new precedents and everything.

But of course, they have marked your land in that sense for theft is what's happening with the EU. And it has to be ratified by the various states. But of course, they generally rubber stamp this stuff. It establishes the EU's supposed necessity to restore the land and the sea, which effectively grants member states more power to mitigate and to sequester land. In other words, they're going to lock it up. This is UN Agenda 21. Sometime in the 21st century, we're going to just basically get everybody off of the land, including the farmers. We're going to lock everybody in the cities.

We've now seen much more detail about that. It was kind of nebulous. There were some maps that came out about it. But it was like, how in the world are they going to get everybody out? Well, now you can pretty well see it, can't you? That was the plan. About 2015, they started talking about the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Then they started talking about the smart cities and the fact that you own nothing and you will live in these cities.

So it is to sequester the land to get us off of it. They said this comes after and during weeks and weeks after protests from farmers across Europe. They're still going ahead with this agenda and see the problem is the farmers are pushing back on it but the public doesn't realize the implications for them and they're not standing with the farmers and here in the united states there's not even any pushback against this stuff known as the eu nature restoration law. This is about taking everything back. They want to take us back to the dark ages.

They want to depopulate us. It's like the Georgia Guidestones. They want few people. They want us living in a neo-feudalistic society where we have a bare subsistence living, where we're going to be locked into open-air prisons in these smart cities and the rest of this stuff. And they call it restoration.

Yeah. Now these euphemisms, um, and it passed 329, 275. The bill faced heavy opposition from the European people's party, the largest political consortium in the EU parliament, which was able to get the bill to rescind some of its original stipulations,

but it still remains very, very bad. The EPP fought against all the additional governmental red tape and added procedures that farmers would need to follow, which is one of the things the farmers protesting across the EU are demonstrating against. The German publication, DW, I think that's DW, noted that the policy requires final approval from EU member states before it becomes de facto law. But it is normally guaranteed after a vote such as this.

Though, because of this heavy resistance, it may not happen. And if people would do something about it and stand with the farmers, it would not happen. Now, they call it the nature restoration law. But as I said before, it really is about this rewilding, they call it. And just the loss of civilization. They're doing it in parks. They're doing it everywhere. They're bringing in wild animals and all the rest.

And we've seen elements of this in the United states with reintroducing wolves into certain areas again to you know attack the farmers essentially and their livestock but it is an essential piece they said in their statement this is coming from the the people who have put it through bragging about what they've accomplished they said it is an essential piece of the European Green Deal. Oh, wait a minute. Wasn't it AOC who was talking about a Green New Deal? You see, it is a global conspiracy. It is a global agenda. They didn't even bother to change the names in most of these places.

But they said it follows a scientific consensus and recommendations to restore Europe's ecosystems. That's a consensus. Everybody has got a scientific consensus. They all think the same thing. Why do they all say the same thing? Well, because they're being paid by the government to say the same thing. To reach the overall EU targets,

member states must restore at least 30% of habitats covered by the new law by 2030 there's your 30 by 30 got to rewild got to confiscate got to sequester got to steal got to steal this stuff 30 by 30 everybody's just upset about trump losing his buildings in new york they're going to do this to everybody and they're going to do it to starve us. It doesn't really affect us if Trump loses his buildings. Yes, people say that, but that's a legal precedent. They've set quietly by while all these legal precedents have been used against us to destroy our businesses, and it was Trump who said we were not essential. Well, he's not essential now, as far as I'm concerned.

So 30 by 30 but then um you know we have um in the united states they want to get it 50 by 50 so they got the 30 by 30 the 50 by 50 and the eu they want it even more radical they want it 60 by 2040 60 of the land rewilded, stolen, and turned back into, because again, this is the radical environmentalism. Like my uncle was talking about the forest. That's why we see such bad forest fires right now. They don't want to do stewardship. They don't want to do conservation.

This is what the radical environmentalists want to do. It's better for it to be wild. No, it's not. God has put us here to tend the land, and it is better when we do that. Actually, there's more forests with us taking care of them than there was when there was nobody doing that. And then they want, by 2050 in Europe, they don't want 50%. They want 90%, 90%. They're going to do this really, really hard and really drastically in the EU. As restoring drained peatlands is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions

in the agricultural sector, EU countries must restore at least 30 percent of drained peat lands by 2030 and at least a quarter of them must be re-wetted re-wetted got to re-wet those lands i guess they're marking their territory um they um and so uh and then 50% of it rewet by 2050. So this part of it, uh, they don't want to drain the swamp. They want to revitalize a swamp. And these, um, these public officials are wetting themselves as well over all of the, they got the public wetting themselves, I guess, at the very least over this climate MacGuffin, uh, Robert, uh, or not Robert, uh, representative, uh, Massey Thomas Massey is going to bring in Julian Assange's brother to Biden's state of

the union. Uh, he put on Twitter, he said, uh, Biden will be looking at julian assange's brother gabriel shipton and the house gallery thursday night as biden delivers the state of the union bringing shipton as his guest as part of massey's strategy to pressure biden to drop the trump administration's charges against assange who is facing up to 175 years in prison if extradited and convicted in the U.S. for exposing U.S. war crimes by publishing documents. So it all happened with, again, Trump's CIA attorney general, Barr. But the CIA runs both of these guys. The U.S. government's ongoing effort to prosecute Julian Assange threatens the First Amendment, said Massey,

and the rights of Americans, and it should be exposed. Well, he's absolutely right about that. Meanwhile, another thing that was revealed yesterday was that Biden flew in 320,000 illegals in 2023. And the conservatives are rightfully upset about that. And yet, wasn't it Abbott that was flying them further into the country and busing them further into the country? You're sending them in the wrong direction.

Send them back over the border where they came from and let Mexico deal with it. Let Mexico send them back to Venezuela or wherever, El Salvador. But Abbott was doing the same thing. And I've said many times, how is that a good thing? Oh, he's owning the libs. Good example of why we can't have nice things because we're only focused on owning the libs.

And as we've seen, and we've known this for quite some time, there's been talk about the fact that they were bringing them in at night and people saw that, you know, they're flying them into these empty airports and people track that. So we followed them and they go to like a rest area and they wait there for a while. And then a bus comes by and picks them up. They're doing it all under cover of darkness. They're doing it covertly. They know what's wrong and they're doing it.

You know, Biden hates this. He's a traitor. He's a traitor. Just like Trump is a traitor. Both of these guys. And there's no competition to them whatsoever. Enabling the flights is the one mobile smartphone app created by Border Patrol. They've got an app for this.

Not only are they doing it, they've got an app for it. It permits illegals to apply for entry in their home countries before they fly to the United States. So they don't even have to take the dangerous journey, I guess, if they've got the app. They can just fly in. They don't have to go through, I guess, the biometric facial scanning. They don't have to take their shoes off. They don't have to get the naked body scanner.

They didn't have to wear the masks during all the lockdown stuff and everything. Are they vaccinated? Are they sick with anything? We don't care. We don't care. Just bring them in. Not a problem at all. We have Eric Peters is going to be joining us later in the program.

Before he comes on, we're going to talk about a lot of the car articles that he's got. But this one, and I'll mention this to him as well. You know, the EPA has become one of the most activists of the three-letter bureaucracies that are out there. Created by Nixon to do cleanups, and that's the way it was sold to everybody, cleanups of toxic waste dumps and, you know, set up sites that were going to be extremely expensive to fix.

So the government brings in the wheelbarrows of cash from the Federal Reserve to pay it off. But then it started talking about it was going to take care of the air quality. And they have used this now to make all kinds of automotive mandates. And now here's the most recent one. You know, in Europe, they're talking about banning car repairs of cars if they are 15 years old or whatever. The EPA will be the ones to do that here in the United States, and they will do it by banning aftermarket car modifications and these car modification bans

or bans you doing anything with the intake the exhaust you know fine tuning the engine the ecu any of that kind of stuff all of that is banned and of course um it will eventually be used to ban any uh repairs because hey if you repair this how can we tell since it's not factory spec maybe you did something to to violate our rules and it was epa who nearly shut down volkswagen because i said you're doing ep you're doing cheating now they're coming after cummins diesel for the same thing uh they are also not just shutting down our transportation, but the EPA is aggressively trying to shut down energy generation. Now they have turned their sights on power plants that are supplying

electricity to the grid. These people are out of control. When are we ever going to go on the offense against them? Do you even hear any Republicans talking about thea and trying to get them in line they're one of the most aggressive agencies attacking our lives right now the epa there's so many of them quite frankly but all these agencies the federal government they all hate us more than the nazis and the japanese did during world war ii there's an ideal among americans this is coming from uh the auto wire there's an ideal among Americans. This is coming from the Ottawa. There's an ideal among some Americans, usually those who lean a little more left, that federal

agencies like the EPA are heroes who are constantly doing good and very little evil. However, just think about two incidents they said. First of all, you remember a few years ago, the EPA spilled pollutants from a gold mine in Colorado into the Animas River, which then polluted the Colorado River. Water that was normally beautifully crystal clear in some areas turned a mustard yellow as recreationists were warned to stay away until everything cleared up. While accidental, the end result was the EPA, the federal agency charged with protecting the environment, had caused this amount of pollution as negligent behavior, which they would have punished severely with anyone else. The second event which calls into question the EPA's heroic actions is what happened with the Norfolk Southern Train derailment

in East Palestine, Ohio. Michael Regan, administrator of the EPA, insisted that there was nothing toxic in the air and the water of the area, yet we have seen countless examples to prove that that was not only false, but laughably so. And then they said, well, so what are they doing now? In all of this, it's hard to look at the EPA and their treatment now as they now set their sights on the aftermarket automotive parts industry, specifically when it comes to anything that they consider to be an emissions defeat device.

And so they put out an alert, and they said examples of this are things like parts and devices that might be part of the onboard diagnostic system, the OBD, diagnostic trouble codes, sensors for oxygen, ammonia, particulate matter, other things like that, the exhaust gas temperature, diesel particulate filters, their sensors, exhaust gas recirculation systems, EGR systems, on and on and on. Anything that would be engine calibration that would affect engine combustion. Ignition timing. We're getting to, they're going to look over the shoulders,

people who are doing any auto repairs. Injection pattern. Fuel injection mass for each injection event. Fuel injection pressure. EGR flow rate. Mass airflow rate. EGR cooler bypassing. And that could go on and on and on.

And so these people said, well, it's quite a list. If you realize it's pretty much every powertrain, every intake, every exhaust possible modification or repair could fall under this laundry list if you realize that then you're catching on to what's happening and so in a memo that was issued november the 3rd 2020 and by the way these memos which are now going out uh these happened under trump's epa under trump's EPA. It says that tuners who change the ECU might be an illegal aftermarket defeat device.

The use or the installation of which might constitute illegal tampering. First we had the fact that you can't repair. And that came out with the digital 1M Copy copyright act and you had john deere and then gm was also saying it you know we've got uh software that's now controlling this

stuff so don't you mess with that or you're messing with um our copyrighted stuff so you can't repair the car that you own or the tractor that you bought and own. We're going to shut it down there. Now they're going to do this with other aspects of this. Don't mess with any of this stuff. You get it out of factory spec, forget it. And it's not just the EPA. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has also released a document called Tampering of Vehicle controls it spells out how even adding

a turbocharger to a vehicle could be considered to be an emissions defeat device because it is not originally certified on the car if you make that the standard then pretty much they're going to stop your ability to uh to uh repair your car for all practical purposes. So I said, of course, if you can produce federally approved testing, which shows vehicle emissions don't increase, so that specific configuration, then you can get an exception. So you think you can do that? People who want to bring in a car, a historical car from out of the country,

sometimes they pay a fortune because it's a collectible car in order to do this type of thing and um they uh you know it's a very very expensive process and uh so that's what they want to limit this to uh dusty milton uh we were talking about uh cream earlier he says clotted cream comes from cows vaccinated against COVID-19. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Yeah. It's got long stringy stuff that we don't know. We've never seen anywhere before.

It's this rubbery thing or something. My son said, yeah, you can download the app. It's called Ivation. You get the frequent illegal flyer miles. Earn cloward and piven points that's right and it's got a maybe it also shows you where you can get the most free stuff coupons from governor newsom for getting free houses and free jobs and free unemployment and all the rest of this uh ollie farren says david in ireland we use the peat wetlands as fuel for winter fires and they're trying to stop it so that we can't heat our homes of course and

all everything about this just amazing uh jason barker says they're consolidating the food it's not about raw milk it's about exterminating local sources of food that's right they're demonizing home gardening now they said it is bad for the environment and you remember when they were trying to blame every um every ill uh that came from the trump poisonous shot they were trying to come up with an explanation for it right oh it's long covet well now we know that the people that are getting long covet are the people who've been shot multiple times uh but they even came up with a thing it's long COVID. Well, now we know that the people that are getting long COVID are the people who've been shot multiple times. But they even came up with a thing.

It's home gardening. It's home gardening that's killing people. And it's not even that people are out in the garden doing physical labor and then having a heart attack or something. No, as you're stirring the soil, it's releasing things, and that's what's killing you. It's not the shot that Trump gave you. Not that at all. Dougalug says amish raw milk is fantastic yeah i've i've had some raw milk i have had the amish raw milk uh vex the first says i don't eat anything with bioengineered gmo corn syrup or heavily processed for about two weeks now and i feel so much better good that's great um raw milk is legal here in wyoming says

michael de silvio good a little uh three little bird make sure that you focus on what's happening at the local level because they can turn that switch off real quickly with the wrong people in office there uh three little bird says i'm in rural upstate New York. I was threatened with jail for having chickens. Wow. In a right to farm community village. It's truly clown world up here. Wow. We just bought a bunch of Rhode Island reds.

We're going to try it. Try again. We've, we've had some problems with predators in the past. Now we got, uh, I think it's 16 of them, right? And they're only, they're not even a week old. And it's amazing how fast these things grow. It's amazing. Distorted perceptions.

They profit off of every inch of our demise, the food, the treatment, the drugs, the funerals. Yes. My grandmother says KWD 68 fried everything in lard. She died at 103 last year. Fat-free chemicals aren't healthy yeah uh chevkin 321 attacking the farmers is the introduction of more democide through famine classic communism uh d delta mike 83 84. they want us all in a freedom city yeah that's what trump calls is it's all different right oh that's not what klaus schwab wants because trump calls it a freedom city yeah that's what trump calls is it's all different right oh that's not what klaus schwab

wants because trump calls it a freedom city uh we'll watch the elites enjoy their lives from our barred windows in our virtual reality dougalug says find yourself an amish farmer say hello it's like buying weed 30 years ago it's illegal and risky milk nowadays weed is legal and raw milk is the banned substances here in michigan that's like um what um hl minkin said about fdr he said you know after he made gold illegal and he legalized ended alcohol provisions that a year ago if i had a alcohol hip flask in my pocket and a gold coin uh the alcohol was illegal and the gold was legal this year it's the other way around now the gold is illegal and the and the alcohol is legal the syrian girl in massachusetts they can sell raw milk kefir aged hard cheese but it's

against the law to sell raw butter yogurt cream does that make sense to anybody other than political corruption? Yeah. That tells you who has bought their influence with these people. Well, we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, I do want to mention briefly what is happening with money. Financial markets are really getting kind of crazy and maybe there's a reason for it. We're going to be right back. Using free speech to free minds.

It's the David Knight Show. Russia is offering people a 30% discount if they pay in the Russian currency or if they pay with gold. And they're raking in way more money even with a 30% discount than they ever did before. And so it has helped them to set up BRICS and to start working on an alternative system. A rocky road to de-dollarization, says Sergei Glazyev. He india and the bricks 10 are making it clear to everybody uh to think about the serious effects of these unilateral sanctions and these policies are not sustainable and they never worked again the only thing that biden's sanctions have done is to create hardship in Europe and the United States, but especially in Europe. But we're going to get our share of the hardship as well. He said they had been thinking about this for a very long time, and then they got pushed

to where they had to do something about it in Russia. And he said it's not going to be done. And this is the interesting thing. As this Russian is talking about it. He says, this is not going to be done with some kind of a conference like they did with Bretton Woods one and Bretton Woods two, you know, after the war ended. And then in the seventies when they did Bretton Woods two and set up the petrodollars, it's not going to be done like that. He says it's going to be more legitimate because it's going to be people responding to this. In other words, it's going to be kind of market-based and not by some kind of a power play at a conference. He says we really don't need to go large-scale either. It's enough if we just do BRICS, if we just do Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, if you will.

They don't even need South Africa. The idea of the currency is that there's two baskets. One basket is a national currency of all countries that are involved in the process. And so once this begins and they start creating something that is stable and convenient, what do you think people are going to think about this American government that is adding a trillion dollars of debt every 100 days. Every 100 days. The first time, says Zero Hedge, that we pointed out the U.S. debt was rising at a pace of a trillion dollars

every three months or about every 100 days was last September. Total U.S. debt, they said at the time, surpasses $33 trillion for the first time. Since then, it's gotten far more stupid. Earlier today, we were shocked to report that after exploding by $89 billion on the last day of February alone, U.S. debt has risen by $470 billion in the first two months of the year to $34.4 trillion.

And it's on pace to surpass $35 trillion in a little over a month. So they said $37 trillion well before the end of the year, $40 trillion sometime in 2025, about two years ahead of the Congressional Budget Office's impartial forecast. Now, it's kind of interesting i just saw an article um some you know trump sucker uh trying to praise him and everything said you know trump is the guy to take care of bankruptcy isn't he he's had so much experience with it yeah we want a guy who is uh you know he I guess that is true. He does have the skills, right?

He lies about the value of things and the bottom, the asset lines and everything. He recklessly borrows money. He got himself into trouble where he couldn't even pull it out with a casino where he's essentially got a license to print money. Because he borrowed so much money and he borrowed it at 14% interest in the 90s when the interest rates for loans were less than half of that. And so he's the guy. They said, he's the guy to help us now that the United States is bankrupt. Trump is the guy that we need to turn to. They will never stop praising him for everything. It's just insane.

You know, if we get Trump, I guess that'll be a declaration that we are embracing, you know, our financial bankruptcy as well as our moral and legal bankruptcy as well in all of these different regards. And so over the last couple of days, we've seen some really crazy stuff with both gold and with Bitcoin, haven't we? You know, when we look at just the last couple of days, Bitcoin jumped up to an all-time high yesterday, got up above $69, thousand dollars a new all-time high and it's um and and this has something that has typically happened when they have um a having a halving

or whatever you know when they change the rules for what is required to do the bitcoin minute mining and uh so that typically causes it to spike up. This is happening now more than a month before that. And so that's also going to kick in. This is really a kind of response, I think, to the ETF stuff. It is jumping up and more than $2 billion left these exchanges. I think that is because people, not necessarily because they're putting it on their wallets which would be a good thing their private wallets but because perhaps this is going into this etf stuff and it's hyping this up in true crypto fashion says coinbase the new all-time sorry this is kitco the um new all-time high was met with a flash crash

that saw the top crypto plunge 14.6 percent from its peak of 69 330 on coinbase to hit a low near 59 000 in the afternoon before dip buyers pushed it back up to 63,700. Um, and again, this is, uh, a lot of people are very optimistic about it. Steve Kirsch was saying, Hey, if you sign up for my, um, paid thing, I'll show you how to, uh, trade with crypto. And he's not talking about, you know, a lot of people say, oh, I think it's going to go to a hundred thousand. He says, I think it's going to go to 250,000. Uh, I'm not going to chase something that's that volatile.

Um, I've had experience on these rollercoaster rides before, and you know, you get to a certain age, you don't like to ride rollercoasters anymore. Uh, your heart just can't handle it. And I don't like digital, uh, financial assets either. So, um, that's, uh, you know, no knock on the Bitcoin people go for it if you want, the risk uh but uh roller coaster a digital roller coaster that i think i'll set this one out um i never planned on getting rich in my lifetime anyway so i'm not gonna chase this and try to get rich um all at once the alternative coins we really took a beating as it fell back and you know when you

look at this that is one thing that really kind of gives me pause about it look at what they did with derivatives and the real estate market you know the houses were still there the land was still there this is real stuff of intrinsic value and look at how they could mess that up for everybody using derivatives that's what the ctf stuff is and that's what's pumping this around. I mean, this is over and above the normal growth cycle of Bitcoin. And so gold prices are going up as well. Getting very close to a record high. Maybe it did go over the record high. I don't follow this minute by minute.

Even with a pullback to $2,137 an ounce, Gold prices are still up nearly 5% from last Thursday. And all these analysts are saying, just like they're saying for Bitcoin, they're saying the same thing for gold. It looks like it's going to go up. Gold is primed for a substantial move, second only to crypto currencies, but it'd be primarily Bitcoin. And so many of them are saying it's it's um you know building a base it's going to be uh uh you know going to be going up but it's it's really

again as tony always points out these changes in values that you see uh other than things manipulating the market like etf and other stuff that. These changes in value are really about people's confidence level in the U.S. dollar going down significantly. And so that's really the story here. And then, of course, just as there's many things that are happening that are new and different in the Bitcoin area, all of this stuff I think is also being driven not only by inflation and the debt and the trillions of dollars that are being added every couple of months.

I think it's also being driven by everybody's concern about their plan, the bipartisan plan of CBDC. That is what concerns me as well. Brian Pitts, thank you very much for the tip um and um he sends a link to a patent to a magnetic engine which will be free for anybody to use this month well that's interesting uh audi modern retro radio once again it demonstrates that cops are oath breakers threatening to arrest a person for raising their own chickens shows that they are idiots assisting the new world order agenda.

Absolutely right. And, um, you know, just give them that uniform and we're good to go. Um, I remember this Chev can three 21 when the lockdowns began, Gretchen Whitmer told everybody not to buy garden seeds.

I remember that. And it had signs put up in the stores. Can't buy garden seeds. I think, how had signs put up in the stores can't buy garden seeds anything how is that going to make it and things like that i was a thousand percent certain that this stuff was because i knew about dark winter i knew about and you look at these types of things going on we knew that it was a political virus that it it was a MacGuffin. And we knew they'd been practicing this thing all along. It was really just a psychological pandemic, and then it turned into a great poisoning with a Trump juice.

We're going to take a quick break, and Eric Peters is going to be joining us. We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.

Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. all right and joining us now it's always a pleasure to talk to eric peters he has ericpetersautos.com a lot of great articles about liberty about politics and also about cars and mobility because that is a big part of our Liberty is that mobility. And so he covers that and he does actual real car reviews. I mean, not just the hyper cars that cost millions and millions of dollars, but real cars that are out there.

And so it's always a pleasure to have Eric on. Thank you for joining us, Eric. Oh, thank you, David. I'd like to know though, first,

before we get going, have you got your golden shoes on i i passed on that i did a thing i came in with golden slippers you know while they were showing the things you know the old uh the old miners tune and uh yeah i thought you'd like that isn't that something you know and next maybe you know when he mandates masks again we can all make them out of gold that i'm sure that info wars will probably do that and sell it i wouldn't be surprised okay so we had the like i called it yesterday stupor tuesday you had to be in a stupor to show up to vote when this is a north korean style election you got one person on the ballot

essentially you know you had nikki haley was there she doesn't even want to show her face now she's embarrassed herself so badly with all this stuff uh there's some good in that I mean you know I find Nikki Haley to be almost as repellent as the orange man so I was happy to see happy to see her exit stage left that's right oh I was very concerned when she jumped into the race that she is a dangerous demagogue I thought it was really funny when she was trying to uh uh you know endear herself to the people in new hampshire she started criticizing the people in south carolina as a bunch of knuckle-dragging racists who had elected her twice to governorship and i thought next the next one she's got to do it she's got to go these people she just she

accused of being a backward racist the fascinating thing about haley uh to me is that you know ostensibly we are uh supposed to have representatives in our democracy right meaning you know ostensibly people who have been approved of by at least a putative majority of the voters well this woman has been repudiated by by just astounding tsunami margins of contempt. And she won't get the hint, you know, until today. You know, we don't want you. Nobody wants you. Literally, go away.

She has arrogance in the infrontery to counterman, to clearly express will of the people and say, no, no, you're going to have me regardless. I'm going to force myself upon you because, you know, I'm the right person for the job. Well, you know, she's got all these donors. And I remember when I was working with the myself upon you because, you know, I'm the right person for the job. Well, you know, she's got all these donors. And I remember when I was working with the Libertarian Party, the first thing they would ask if you got an interview with some reporters. So what is your campaign budget?

In other words, how much money are you going to spend advertising with us? Right. And so she's got lots of money to throw at people. So that makes her a legitimate candidate because she's already been bought. Yes, exactly. I call her a new key. Somebody came up with exactly. I called her. It was a new key. Somebody came up with this. I wish I could remember who it was.

It was during the pandemic air fingers quotes when they said, you know, we really ought to have some kind of a law regulation that requires people like Fauci and people like Haley, uh, to do kind of like the NASCAR drivers do and where the patches of their sponsors on the chest. Yeah. They'd have to get bigger suits.

I think. Yeah. I called her new key Haley because you never saw like lindsey graham she never saw warship didn't like what is it about south carolina and i've asked that question i've had people in south carolina respond and say you know it's this this the party it's not the rank and file republicans in south carolina we don't like these people any more than you do it's the the party that's got control of it and you know that's the real issue isn't it, with our elections? When everybody was complaining about what Trump did in terms of locking everybody down and said, OK, now you're going to vote by mail. And then he had the audacity to complain about the results that he got.

You know, we all knew that. But I said, if you want to talk about election corruption, talk about ballot access, you know, because that's where the corruption begins right there. They're going to say nobody gets on the ballot unless they are part of these two parties and then they can control very easily within their party who gets on the ballot so they make sure that it's only going to be people who are the establishment that's what we're always going to have as long as we've got that duopoly running all of that stuff but of course what's changed in all of that this time around is the fact that the democrats are no longer happy with a duopoly they got to have a monopoly and so they want to get the orange man off the ballot and now everybody has discovered ballot access what a surprise but

they're not talking about doing any reform for anybody other than trump are they no and it's necessary to maintain the illusion of consent they had elections in the soviet union under stalin because again they had to create this fiction that somehow he had been approved of by the majority of the people in the Soviet Union. And in a number of other countries, they require people to vote. Why is that?

Why would they require people to vote? Because they require the illusion of consent. And that's why we look at Super Tuesday and they've got've got for Biden where he's got no opposition at all. They made sure in Florida, you know, that they kicked off any of the people who are going to run against him. And the DNC in Florida said, no, we're only going to have Biden on. And the political party has the power to do that kind of stuff. And so we really do have a Stalin-esque election. And you've got all CNN and Fox News are all treating this as if it was some kind of a serious election.

There's no debates. There's no discussion about issues. It's simply about personalities and it's about lawfare and all the rest of this stuff. Nothing at all about issues. And there's never none of the above. Yes. You know, if we had that option in the election, then we would have elections because then a majority of people could say, both of these two candidates of the major parties are

despicable and I want nothing to do with either of them. So none of the above. And if 70 or even 60% of the people had checked none of the above, okay, well, we have to somehow figure something else out and at least get less loathsome candidates out there that could perhaps at least get a degree of approval from the bulk of the people. But in our democracy, we can't have that option, can we? No. Well, there was an uncommitted in one of these recent ones, and that got a substantial number of votes. And I guess when people saw uncommitted on there, I guess they thought that was a description of all the candidates. They're uncommitted to anything except for themselves. You know, they don't have any commitments, no principles, nothing.

Yeah, but you know, we were talking a little bit about my article on the subject of voting, and it's such a tough nut, you know, for me as I like to think a principled libertarian, I understand and I have great sympathy for the argument that voting in any context is almost a, it's kind of a dirty act. You know, you're endorsing this system in a way, right? You're helping to legitimize it. But then I think to myself, you know, we're all under duress. It's not as though we have free choice. It's not as though we can say, you know, I want nothing to do with this and have that vote count in a meaningful sense. So is it wrong to use the vote or see the vote I'll put it that way as a kind of a

defensive measure you know in the sense that if I vote for more freedom to the extent that that's possible it countermans the the vote of the neighbor down the street who wants less freedom from me and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing and I also don't think it's necessarily incongruent with continuing to advocate for the ideal, for the best. You know, you hope for the best. You want the best. You never cease advocating for the best. But at the same time, you do what you can to make things a little bit better. And that might make me a libertarian apostate in this case.

I don't know. I think this is firmly cemented on the point. But, you know, I just I'm exasperated by it. I don't know what to do. So it seems to me that doing both is not necessarily an unreasonable thing. Well, you know, what I've been trying to tell people is forget about Washington. And I say forget about the presidency. I say forget about Senate and Congress.

But pay very much attention, a great deal of attention, to who's running locally and at the state level. Because you can have a lot more effect there. And Soros has been doing that by pouring money into state attorney general races, pouring a lot of money into local district attorney races. And look at how he has been able to affect change in California. Destroying it, of course. But that's his purpose. Soros is about chaos. But he's been very effective at that and and Elon Musk said you have to understand that's really genius because you're going to have so much more effect

at the local level first of all you're you're one of you know maybe even just a few hundred people who vote in some aspect of it as opposed to one of hundreds of millions of people who may vote in an election. And, you know, so anything that you do, whether it's your vote or whether it's working for a candidate or whether it is, you know, supporting a candidate financially or stuff, any of that is going to have a lot more effect. And as we saw in 2020, these people have a lot more effect on your life even than the governor or the president or certainly the congress because uh they can make things a lot better or even a lot worse depending on that so i think there's a real strong case to

be made still for being involved in local elections maybe you know in your local election you still don't have a good candidate uh but you've got a better chance of trying to get somebody in there as a good local candidate uh for local election than you do off of the state or and especially off of the federal and yet we have all of our attention is upside down and it's that way because the national press has pushed us to do that the government has pushed us to do that because they know that that is futile really you know that that whole voting thing is futile and you know when we talk about um voting uh going back to my experience with the libertarian party that was always what we did we always focused and spent all our time

trying to get ballot access and then they wouldn't let us into the debates even after we jumped through extra hoops but they were expert at getting on the ballot and so now you got rfk jr who's looking at this and saying well you know these people they know how to get on the ballot that's one thing they can accomplish uh maybe they know how to get on the ballot. That's one thing they can accomplish. Maybe I can get a spot on the ballot. What do you think about that? What do you think about RFK Jr. running as a libertarian candidate? Well, I guess I want to talk about two things. First, I think your initial point is very well said and well put. The left understands that. They have been working at the local level and from the local level up for the past 50 years. know termites burrowing into a tree and people

haven't noticed it until boom all of a sudden it seems that the authoritarian left controls the entire country and everything you know so certainly we can take a page from their playbook and do the same thing you know you as you say in your local community not only are the numbers smaller but you know these people you know you will never know your local community, not only are the numbers smaller, but you know these people. You will never know your congressman or your senator, let alone the president. This might be the guy who lives down the road, and you might have known this guy for the last 20 years. So you can approach that person and talk to them, and there's that human connection that simply doesn't exist when we're talking about national-level politics. So there's that point.

As far as RFK Jr., there are aspects of RFK Jr. that I don't like, but there are many aspects of him that I do like, chief of which he seems to be a sane person. He seems to be a sane, intelligent person, a person that you can have a conversation with. You know, I think he's taken a number of stands that are very positive, particularly with regard to the menacing influence of big corporations and particularly these pharmaceutical corporations over the government, over the country. And yeah, by any hook or crook, I'd like to see him get on the ballot. However he can do it would be great, obviously. And interestingly to me, the Democrat Party has repudiated the scion of the Kennedy family of all people. You know, they despise him and they despise him because he's kind of an honest leftist, you know, in that he actually does believe in free speech. He actually does believe in the

traditional core Democrat liberal ideas of the 60s. And that kind of makes him a right winger by today's standards. Yeah. You know, when he first announced, I said, well, you know, I really like what he has had to say about the COVID vaccine and some of the other things like that. But he has made it clear that he and his family are all vaccinated. And, you know, I tried to carve this out and I think is a little bit too clever by half. And it kind of, you know, eroded my trust of what he was actually saying by saying, well, I just want to have, you know, clean vaccines and safe vaccines. I'm not against vaccines and all the rest of the stuff. I am against vaccines.

And, you know, for all of these reasons, and I would have thought that he would say that. But the other thing that bothered me was the fact that, you know, he has always been a diehard climate MacGuffin guy. And, you know, the comment that he made, and nobody called him on it for the longest time, and he wouldn't come on my show, even to talk about his book, which the one that he did on Fauci, I thought was good. Because it was, you know, he talked in his, toward the end of the book, he talked about dark winter and all this stuff that laid the foundation where they practiced. It wasn't just event 201. It goes back to dark winter two months before 9-11. So this is something that was rehearsed.

He talked about all the CIA connections that Fauci had and all the rest of the stuff. I thought it was very good. I wanted to talk to him about that. But we booked it, and then he canceled at the last minute. So I don't know. He doesn't like me. And that's not why i'm pulling back from it i when he started to run i wanted to ask him you know with all this censorship stuff that he

had he's had some great things to say about uh censorship and how bad it is and yet he was calling for censorship when uh he said that they needed to uh arrest and jail the people who were skeptics of this climate change agenda he did walk that back but i remember him saying that yeah and and when he walked it back he gave essentially a lie you know in terms of walking it back what he said was i was talking about the corporation no you don't uh lock up a corporation and you don't give it three hots and a cot you're talking about the people you know and nobody pushed him on that uh but you know you know, it really, he did go on to say, I would give the corporations a death sentence.

Now I agree that we have these corporations that are doing things like this, like, you know, the banks like JP Morgan, that's been convicted so many times or HSBC, that's got this long criminal conviction thing. They ought to be given a death sentence, but instead they're declared to be too big to jail. So I don't have a problem with giving corporations a death sentence, but I do have a problem with the fact that he won't really walk that back. It would have been a useful and honest thing for him to say, you know, I used to think

that we ought to censor our opponents, but now since it's happened to me, I don't support that anymore because I've, I've learned from it. Nobody wants to admit to a mistake anymore. No. And I think also people are really thirsty in that they're desperate for somebody who's at least kind of an operational human being you know as opposed to we've literally got this this this senile old grifter who can barely barely follow a teleprompter right on the one hand and then you've got this this sloganeering demagogue on

the other side and their their conversation operates at the level of a not particularly bright eight-year-old if that and so i think anybody who just wants to have somebody who can complete a sentence uh let alone a paragraph that seems intelligible you know finds rfk immensely appealing despite all of these issues that he has and so they will fight like the devil to keep him out of the debates even if if he gets on with the Libertarian Party. And they're pretty good at getting on the ballot in all 50 states. Even if he gets on with them, they will keep him out of the debates. And as I said, you know, from the very beginning, I said, it'll be interesting. I said, I don't support him, but it would be great to have him in the debates because we could finally have somebody talking

about issues. If you got even just the dynamics, you know, of having, uh, Eric of having three different candidates up there, then you can't do this thing. Well, this guy's evil and I'm not as bad as he is. And, and the fact that he wants to talk about issues that would completely change the dynamics is one of the reasons why they'll do anything they can to keep him out of the debates. They will not allow that the debates have been run for so long by the two parties and they're not going to open that up. So we're not really going to have a discussion of the issues. But it is an interesting idea.

You've got another article, Anticipating Government. Tell us a little bit about that. What do you anticipate government doing? You know, I've been involved in the car business now for writing about the car industry and motoring and all of that for more than 30 years. So I've acquired some perspective over that time. And when I first began covering the industry back in the 90s, at that time, the car industry was still kind of oppositionally defiant toward the regulatory apparatus. You know, when the government would come out with a proposed regulation, and the good example of this being the original airbag mandate when that first came out. And I was privy to this. I was involved in this at the time in the sense that I covered it and I knew some of the people who were involved in it. The major car companies sent their

engineers to go speak with the regulators at NHTSA. And they told them, look, these airbags that you're expecting us to put in these cars are potentially dangerous. They're going to hurt older people. They're going to hurt children. Here's why. And it presented them with all the data and all the facts. Didn't matter. The government went ahead and mandated it anyway. And so I think the lesson that they took from that is that it's better to go along and get along. And so ever since that time, not only have they ceased fighting anything the regulatory

apparatus comes out with, they anticipate regulations now. And a good way to understand that is look at the new car market right now. We hear about Joe Biden's requirement that comes into effect in 2026 about the kill switch and the technology that's going to be necessary to make that happen. Almost all new cars already have that technology well before the mandate came down from the federal government. Why is that? Because the auto industry anticipated it, and they want to profit from it. They figure, well, this is going to happen. Let's get ahead of it.

Let's just go ahead and put it in the cars. We'll charge people for it, and potentially we can make money down the road in one way or another via this system. So now they've become even worse than the government in a sense, and they're looking around for all the ways that they can come up with things that they know the regulatory apparat will like, that they can then force you and I to pay for if we want to have a new car. Oh, yeah. And it's very much like ESG stuff, right? These people want to, not only do they want to anticipate it from a financial standpoint, but they know that they want to team up with the government. And that's one of the key things, I think, you know, when we look at, uh, reason and Cato Institute, when they're looking at, uh, censorship, for example, when they were covering

this last week, Eric, they, uh, had arguments, uh, uh, both Florida and Texas had put in some restrictions for social media companies about censorship and the way reason looked at it. They're still back to the idea that, uh, well, back to the idea that, well, you can't censor these private companies. And I said, you know, there's this idea from libertarians that companies can do nothing wrong and the government can do nothing right. Just the opposite of what the left is about, that government can do nothing wrong and companies

can do nothing right. But what both of them miss is the fact that they have merged together that's what you're talking about the two of them have merged together it is a kind of fascism we have this uh you know crony capitalism that's running out there and and and esg you know which is okay so if we're in the environment and for societal governance we're all going to cooperate you know cooperate and we're going to run this stuff through from the corporations. I think that's a large part of it. And as you've talked about, it's because they want the concession when they stop selling cars and they're selling mobility.

They want the government to give them, you know, make them one of the approved rent-a-ride places. Well, libertarians who defend corporate privilege in the context of free markets fascinates me because corporations are of government. They're really government chartered enterprises that are given special legal privileges that individuals don't have, while at the same time also being accorded the same protections legally that a human individual would have. So it's a really silly argument in in my view that you know somehow these corporations are entitled to that kind of deference and and I

think it's less fascistic uh than Soviet what we're dealing with right now you know the Soviet Union you had these these land economies you had uh you had the big state Industries that that operated in tandem with the state you know to produce whatever they decided between the two of them uh was going to be out there whatever it was irrespective of any demand this EV thing is an excellent case in point there is no market for these things no significant market there would be no EVs except perhaps very very small niche products uh you know literally a handful maybe a few hundred of them built in total, if it were not for this Soviet cooperation between the regulatory state and the corporate state, the corporations that

are in bed with this. And I'm getting a little bit of schadenfreude satisfaction out of the collapse of the EV market. I'm enjoying this tremendously as the whole thing comes apart. And I draw a parallel with what happened with these vaccines, the beautiful vaccines that Trump gave us. It's following that same trajectory. You know, they pushed them on people first, very aggressively. They did it with a lot of dishonesty. You know, they used terms that were specifically designed to mislead people. They prevented people from knowing the facts, the truth. But, you know, inevitably, the truth does come out. And once the truth begins to come out, after a while, it kind of takes on a sort of kinetic energy. There's a critical mass moment where all of a sudden it just kind of people get it.

This is a bad idea. I'm not going to have anything to do with it. And that's why Ford, for example, has had to stop shipping the 2024 Lightning. It's electric F-150 because there are so many 2023 Lightnings just sitting around on dealers' lots that they can't get rid of the things. It's why Nissan has had to slash prices on its Ariya EV. It's why all the other manufacturers are flailing about trying to figure out, what are we going to do? We hug the tar baby. How do we get out of the tar baby's embrace? I love that you know you call a

pole star pole cat and their ceo out there was taunting the the marketplace saying you people are just afraid of change and it's like we don't want your product don't you get it i mean you know it's like uh yo i'm gonna tell you what you need to buy and you need to go out there and buy it and if you don't you're a scaredy cat you know know, it's like, oh, really? I got into it back and forth on my site with somebody who took issue with an article that I'd written about the EVs and said something to the effect about, you know, you're defending obsolete technology. And, you know, I was able to dive on that with both feet. Yeah, obsolete technology. Actually, it's the EV that's the obsolete technology. And it was declared obsolete 100 years ago by the free market when we still had one.

Because 100 years ago, combustion engine cars proved themselves to be the superior alternative, and that's why EVs stopped being made 100 years ago. And the only reason they're being made now is because we no longer have a free market. That's right. Yeah, everybody got all excited about that documentary. Whatever happened to the electric car? Well, now we know. Now everybody knows all excited about that documentary. Whatever happened to the electric car? Well, now we know. Now everybody knows. I drove that. I drove the GM EV1 back in the 90s.

Did you really? I was driving cars back then. So what was it like? I can give you expert testimony because I did it. It's the same thing. 30 years. You know, 30 years in the rear view. It was the same thing.

It was limited range, high cost, and all the hassles, you know, of having to plan your life around recharging this thing. It was limited range, high cost, and all the hassles of having to plan your life around recharging this thing. Nothing has significantly improved other than, well, they've managed to get more power into the battery somehow, and the electric motors are stronger than they were. So that's why they constantly talk about how quick and speedy these things are. And the thing about that, but I point out to EV people, how long do you think it's going to be if this thing does succeed and they manage to make, you know, make the EV the dominant vehicle on the road, do you think a point's going to come when all of a sudden they're going to say, you know, we can't allow these ludicrously speedy vehicles to be loosed on the public roads,

and then they're going to install speed limiters. They're already talking about that. Oh, yeah. So what will happen then is you'll be driving around in your $80,000 EV that's limited to the same speed that an 86 Yugo GV was capable of. I'm looking forward to that. It'll be like the little golf carts that everybody was riding around in the prisoner in the village, right? That's basically the mode of transportation. And, of course, he's got the new Roadster out.

It's going to do 0 to 60 in one second. I don't know if my heart can stand that kind of acceleration but as what's the point of that as you point out they're not going to let people do that uh there's speed bumps and all the rest of this stuff and cameras everywhere speed cameras speed bumps they're not going to allow that not only what's the you know what's the point of it after a while it's just boring because it's all the same there's no variety here you know it's it's just okay it's really quick but what do you do you know i i put something up on the site this morning about this new uh battery power charger that that dodge just revealed the replacement for the hemi v8 uh power charger and challenger and again it's it's just this kind of embarrassing confession in that they're trying so hard to give people what they want by giving people something that's different than what they want.

It looks like a muscle car. They call it a muscle car. And it even makes fake muscle car sounds. They have some kind of a sound generating thing in it that reproduces the sound of a V8 engine. And it gets better. It even shakes and vibrates you know to give you the fake impression that you've got an engine under the hood and i'm thinking to myself i mean nobody who wants a muscle part wants that so what are they trying to do here yeah yeah i guess i could

put a fake scoop in it so you can have a shaker hood and all that oh yeah one of my readers and i wish i thought of this because it's absolutely brilliant i had to like sit and laugh about it for a few minutes and they said you know what they should do is come up with the sound of gas pumping at these electric fast chargers. You can sit and listen to it for like the gas, the gas and air fingers quotes flowing for the 45 minutes while you wait to get a partial charge. Well, at least it now really does match the name. It's now become a charger because you're going to be spending most of your time at the charger with your charger trying to get this thing loaded if you even can during the winter i mean that's that's the funny thing about it it really now is literally a charger after all these years

it's such a tragic thing you know then they have tried very hard and it's a good looking car in my opinion you know it's not it's not that it's ugly it's just that it's stupid what's the point of this and you know and of course they've been developing it for the last couple of years. And so in the interval, the truth has leaked out about EVs. And now people know. And this is going to, in my opinion, this is going to be it for Dodge. I think this is going to kill them. Wow.

Well, you go back and you look at the first test. He's got this one that does 0 to 60 in one second, he says. You go back and you look at the first uh roadster that they came out with i remember when uh top gear and jeremy clarkson they tried to take it around the track but immediately it ran out of juice you know because they were really slamming the thing and um uh you know and and and he just went off on him they tried they they came after him for slander or defamation or something like that didn't they oh by the way you reminded me of something that that bears on that so guess how much this charger the electric charger weighs oh how much just shy of three tons before you get in before you get in

yeah and of course today with the weight uh general weight of the public that that's why it's not particularly fast and they talk about how quick it is but its top speed is only 134 miles an hour which is you know that's kind. Last summer, I got to drive the last of the Challenger Hellcats, the Black Ghost Edition. I think it would do more than 200 miles an hour. And because it didn't run three tons, as you know, the faster you go, you need more and more power to continue to push through the wind and get that thing going. So you've got a vehicle that isn't particularly fast. And if you were to drive it even partially that fast, you get out on the highway and drive that battery-powered device

at 80 miles an hour, let's say, which isn't that fast. I mean, most freeway traffic now is moving at 70, 75 miles an hour. Your range is going to take a dump, you know, and then you're going to be listening to the fake sounds of gas pumping at the fast charger. For half a day. Right. You're trying to charge this

thing up well you know the weight is a big issue and of course they can't get around the the laws of thermodynamics and physics with the weight and so it affects everything it affects your performance in terms of anything other than straight line uh acceleration that's the key thing that i like i like to have a a light car you know that was that was the big appealing thing about lotus you know you know his slogan was to add lightness and uh so you know minimize the weight and now they've just completely lost that to the extent that this uh study that was done a couple of years ago wall street journalists pulled it out said because of the weight you're you're going through more break uh generating more brake dust and wearing your brakes down wearing your tires out and all this other kind of stuff.

So you think about those things as emissions. Their response, their only response was, well, okay, yeah, but maybe it doesn't weigh that much more than an SUV or whatever. But they're talking about electrifying everything. And so they're talking about electrifying the SUVs. They're talking about electrifying the semi-trailers and everything. So everything gets heavier. And they're not even talking about what happens to our roads, what happens to parking garages that are going to have to be redesigned and all the rest of this stuff. None of it makes any sense, except you and I know, and talked about this for years, that the end game for all of this, this MacGuffin, they've got one thing that they want, and that is to essentially take away all private transportation.

That's the end game. Sure. That's why all these EVs get a pass on so many fronts. And, you know, business with the weight, you know, there's another thing that starts with W and it's waste. You know, all of that weight, think about all the materials that go into a three-ton vehicle like this device that Dodge just put out, you know, and the raw materials that have to be pulled out of the earth uh and then manufactured refined processed what have you into this vehicle uh you know i've i've read studies that indicate that the typical ev consumes twice as much raw materials and energy as a comparable otherwise comparable gas engine car it's disgusting and they're also energy hogs you know think about how much electricity it takes to rocket one of these things to 60 in two or three seconds or whatever it is and cart around to three tons. Meanwhile, you know, and they have the audacity, you know, to preen as being green, you know, and it's just an astounding thing.

And I think it relies chiefly on this orchestrated campaign of preventing people from knowing the truth. You know, I tell people when I talk to them, just random people people about did you know that as for example this charger weighs nearly three tons you know in other words it weighs nearly as much this passenger car this you know you look at the silhouette it's not that big of a car it's slightly bigger than a toyota avalon let's say but it has a curb weight that's comparable to a current 1500 uh chevy dually pickup truck. It's crazy. Yeah. And as you point out, it's the energy, it's the energy.

However, you, you got something that is really heavy and you're going to hurdle it down the road at this ludicrous speed. And, and yet look at the amount of energy that's going to be consumed. Where's that going to come from? The EPA is out there shutting down power plants,

just like they want to shut down people, turbo charging their cars. It's absolutely insane. But we were talking earlier about the similarity uh between what was happening with um the covet stuff i talk about as being a macguffin you know they'll sell you some kind of a you know maltese falcon or something right but they've got this in the the end of it is already in mind and ultimately when you get all the way to the end it's about taking everything away from you locking you down with surveillance and control but just like it was

with this supposed pandemic uh this supposed climate change thing they've got one solution that you're allowed to have and even when people come up with a different solution they won't allow it and so it's kind of interesting to see what is happening in that regard, I think, with Toyota, because Toyota has kind of gone their own way. They've tried now a couple of different approaches. It's kind of like when people offered ivermectin and zinc and or HCQ and zinc or ivermectin. And it's going to be interesting to see if these dictators are going to allow that. They've got a couple of different solutions. They say, well, why don't we do an electric car that is hydrogen fuel based? Or why don't we have in the latest one is to come out and say, well, we're going to scoop up CO2. We're going to separate as the car is moving along.

We're going to scoop up the CO2. We're going to extract that. We're going to liquefy that and turn it into an e-fuel. I wonder if they're going to let them do that. What's going to be their rationale to say, no, you can't do that. We're going to liquefy that and turn it into an e-fuel. I wonder if they're going to let them do that. What's going to be their rationale to say, no, you can't do that, that engineering solution? Yeah, I'm very happy the direction that Toyota has decided to pursue because I consider Toyota to be kind of analogous to Florida during the height of the pandemic. You know, you break the narrative by showing an alternative that's more effective and reasonable,

and that helps to bring sanity back to the table. So, you know, they had been very astute in not buying into this whole EV juggernaut. They'd committed heavily to hybrids, which make all kinds of sense. I have no problem with hybrids, leaving aside the whole climate change MacGuffin. There's nothing wrong with a Toyota Prius that can get to 60 in six seconds and gives you close to 60 miles per gallon. That's excellent. I'm all for that. I think that's great. A very useful and practical car. And so they have focused on making vehicles like that. And without really saying it out loud, they're just kind of like, okay, we're going to continue to make vehicles people want, and we'll let the chips fall where they ran and let our rivals go out of business, I think,

ultimately is what's going to happen here. Yes. Yes. Yeah. It'll be interesting because, if they push back against that, one of the things during this pandemic, and we're getting up to the four year anniversary of this thing. One of the things was that you saw a lot of people who had been in the medical field and as they, you know, they, they're, they're sold this agenda. Oh, we got a pandemic, you know, and this new novel pandemic. And they said, oh, okay. They believe them.

And then they said, but why don't we do this instead? Because what you're talking about doing, you know, this might work better. That's, I don't think, going to work. And they immediately get shut down. And then they realize, wait a minute, there's something else happening here. And then eventually they wake up to the fact that it's not even really a pandemic. That might be the best possible outcome to this. People go down the same path.

You have the engineers at Toyota. As I proved to people that their real concern was never about CO2 or anything else like that. It was always just about control because they won't accept these other alternatives. And these other alternatives that Toyota is coming up with are unacceptable to them because they have to have you charging something off of their power grid as they're shutting the power grid down exactly and you know by the way he's in this i think speaks to the broader point uh you know they're not even allowing the affordable uh like uh in-city kind of city suburban small evs that are available in china into this country now we're in a climate crisis when you want people to you know by whatever means necessary this is a good basic

transportation device lots of people can afford an eight or nine thousand dollar uh you know city car but they won't allow that that's fascinating to me why won't they do it you know they talk about well they don't meet current federal safety guidelines well wait a minute you're telling me there's a an existential threat the climate is in crisis, and we're all going to die, you know, unless we reduce our carbon footprint. And yet, you know, you're talking about, well, you know, if you drive this thing, if you have an accident, if you get hit a certain way, you might get hurt. That somehow takes more priority over the supposed existential crisis. It doesn't compute. It just does not make any sense until you realize that, yeah, the end goal is not about climate's about it's about impoverishing all of us and controlling all

of us that is the end point of all of this that's right and a lot of the climate alarmist who who believe all of this stuff when you had the paris climate accord which is a treaty uh when that was self-ratified by john kerry and and the Republicans let him get away with that ruse and Trump did throughout his administration as well. But when they came up with this climate, this Paris climate thing, the people who really believed in that were outraged. They said, how can you allow the two biggest countries, China and India, to continue with this? And so it exposed to them the fact that they're not talking about global climate change due to co2 they're not concerned about that at all this is really simply about

redistributing wealth uh you know from from these uh the countries where it is right now the united states europe and things like to china because these people gotten in on the ground floor with these um these these communist thugs who are running their economy there. Yeah. A good way. When you hear the word carbon being bandied about by these people, just think of energy. What we want to do is impose, impose energy scarcity, which, you know, is a way of calling population at the end of the day. You know, if you can't eat, if you can't keep warm, um, uh, you know,

that is ultimately going to have health consequences. And that's ultimately what they want. That's the end game here. And it's, I think it's difficult for most people to imagine because it really is, it's incredibly malicious. It's unbelievably dark. You know, it's kind of like, I'm sure that the people who are lining up for the boxcars, you know, to be transported to the East, to be resettled, had difficulty believing that they were actually being put onto a boxcar and being sent off to their doom. But the situation, I think, is quite comparable. Yeah, normal people always underestimate the evil of these psychopaths,

and they also underestimate their technology that they've got as well. You have an article we probably have about a year, and it goes down the professional wrestling team which is really appropriate now uh what what tell us a little bit about that uh but what what do you think is going to happen in the interim well it was kind of a thought experiment you know i'm just kind of trying to play out or game as they put it these various scenarios and one certain scenario that comes to mind in this you know opera buffet or wwe wrestling match that we have between the orange man and the senile man

is that they actually are going to let the orange man win and then they're going to tank the economy and then uh there's going to be some other awful thing that goes on so that they can pin the tail on the orange donkey and not just on him then they'll be able to frame it as look at all these awful white nationalist maga supporting people who brought this terrible terrible man uh into office and we have got to do something about that and we all know what they're going to do about that so that's one of the things that concerns me now the only uh silver lining to that dark cloud is we have about a year to prepare and get ready.

You know, consider it a gift of time to shore things up in your personal. Otherwise, to get ready for what's probably coming. Oh, I agree. Yeah. The question is, you know, is Biden going to get desperate enough to win that he's going to pull something in the election year? Because and I've said this to people, I said, that's a possibility. But the other part of it is that once, you know, if Trump gets in or if Biden gets reelected, they're definitely going to pull something next year. I absolutely believe that. And one of the reasons I believe it, Eric, is because of this fourth turning thing in the time frame.

They all keep talking about 2030. Everything is 2030. That's when they want to have their new society in. And they all talk about millennials and all of these other labels that Strauss and Howe used when they talked about the fourth turning and about generations, but they don't want to talk about the other part of it, but they do talk about these dates. And so I think they're very well aware of that and they want to exploit that. And they're going to have to get all of that done. And the next presidential term is when this is all going to go through uh let me read you a couple of comments here from people uh amos pool thank you very much for the tip he said

i picked up a low mileage 1997 mustang cobra manual transmission fun to drive no computer bs tried the 67 which is a more beautiful classic but it was like driving a truck not easy uh smooth drive as a matter of fact i had a 68 mustang and i know exactly what you're talking about i made the mistake of changing the steering wheel making it even smaller and putting bigger tires on it so i took something wasn't already handling very well and uh really ruined it uh mentioning while you have eric on love his perspective on that What do you think about that 97 Mustang? I love the car. I got to drive that when it was new. And one of the striking things about it

to me is that, okay, 1997, how long ago is that? 30 years almost, right? And how much has improved since then? I have a 22 year old truck and I get in it and I turn the key, it's electronically fuel injected. It starts immediately. Its drivability is better than the new cars because it doesn't have all of this additional complexity that's built into it uh so what have we gotten what what has improved and you know that's that's a fascinating thing to me used to be that there was this linear progression you know the reason that people bought new cars every few years was because the new car was better it offered things you know that were advantageous relative to the old car you went from six volts to 12 volts.

You went from bias fly to radial tires, transmissions without overdrive to transmission with overdrive, carburetors to fuel injection. All of these things were good and beneficial. Now, people are realizing all I'm getting with the new car is the sticker shock. I'm getting this expensive, over-tech thing that is controlling me and parenting me and data mining me that I don't even potentially own because like somebody just shut it off remotely. So, you know, what do you get? I mean, that's a metric of things have not really progressed much in any meaningfully good way since the nineties. And of course that sticker shock is almost like the Milgram experiment, you know, but you know, even before that, i remember when i was growing up as a kid and i really wasn't paying attention to performance but they weren't either

it was all about styling and one comment here from birdhouse blue says i can't even tell the making the model of today's cars because they all look so much alike they don't even bother to look at anything like and they're all the same color essentially they're all some you know shade of gray uh i think it's great white or silver or green i found out you know inadvertently i found out why that is because i wondered about that i thought how comes why is it so many people are are choosing to buy a vehicle that looks like a refrigerator and and i the reason why in coming through some of the paperwork that i get with the new vehicles that i test drive is that the manufacturers are now charging extra for the

colors you know if you want to get you know you want to get something other than white, silver, or black, you're going to end up paying $800 more. And so a lot of people are just skipping that. As far as why they all look the same, it's because the government is designing cars now, not the manufacturers. The regulations now have set forth effectively a template. People who follow NASCAR racing will know what I'm talking about. Like there's literally a template that the car has to fit in order for it to be qualified to be on the track. And in fact, the regulations have done just the same with car design. They have to meet these same standards for things like bumper impact, side impact, and so on.

And that necessarily winnows and funnels the design down to this basic blob shape that you're seeing everywhere, this crossover blob shape that you're seeing everywhere, this crossover blob shape. And I've got, I occasionally put up a picture on the site that shows, it's got to be at least a dozen different makes and models of a crossover that all look the same. And you just can't tell what they are unless you can find the badge somewhere. That's an interesting insight because it is like NASCAR. When I talk about the colors of the cars, I kind of joke. I said, you know, back in the 50s, the TVs were all black and white and the cars were in Technicolor.

And now it's just the opposite way around, except that you have to, just like you had to pay extra to get a color TV in the 60s when they came around, you got to pay extra to get a color car. Yeah, it's dreary. And again, to put it in stark relief, if you go to, it's getting to be spring and summer, to a car show you know an old car show and just look at the profusion of difference the the wild styling that used to be common you know even among economy cars you saw these quirky little things that they would do with them that you've never seen anymore they're all

just the same and you know that's just taking all the emotion and passion out of cars because like i say it literally is an appliance now it's like you're buying it yes and i remember you know that's just taking all the emotion and passion out of cars because like it's like it literally is an appliance now it's like you're buying it yes i did and i remember you know as a kid it was always an interesting thing that you know the use of chrome and use of fins and some of the stuff was really hideous and some of it was like really cool and it was always so what are they going to do next i mean and they were they were trying all kinds of stuff you know and then in the you know late 60s and early 70s it became about improvements to performance and stuff like that but when i was a kid it was all about appearance and as a kid you could certainly you know appreciate that and and understand that uh

but again today it's just like you point out it's it's the government designing cars and we're winding up with is a lot of lottas just like straight up and another thing that's happened too that's interesting to me is in the luxury car segment, because of the regulations, they are now the same extruded plastic blobs that the inexpensive cars are. It used to be that if you bought a high-end car, a luxury car, it had beautiful chrome, multi-plate chrome, and it had real metal finishes on the inside. It's like that now. I was driving the Alpe every day, and I happened to be near a a new land rover and adjacent to the new land rover was a honda crv i mean not much difference between the two they both had these they call them fascias in these plastic huge bulbous kind of oprah winfrey looking rear end treatments and the same on the front

plastic everywhere you know you get inside the vehicle even a six-figure car like you know mercedes you get into a six-figure mercedes and what do you see you see a cheap made in china lcd touchscreen yeah you know and six or seven years ago yeah that was kind of provocative because nobody else had that back then now everybody has it you get into a twenty thousand dollar hyundai or kia and it too has a big touchscreen so what are you getting for your you know you're getting for a hundred thousand dollars you're getting a big plastic three-pointed star in your grill. Yeah, that's right. And I really hate those touchscreens because, you know, it takes your eye off.

All these people say, well, it's distracted driving. We're going to give you a fine if you're using a cell phone. It's like there's nothing more distracting than trying to use a touchscreen as you're bumping around and trying to drive and you, you got to stare at this thing. Yeah. It's just, it's the worst thing because you know, if you got a, you know, the old style cars,

you had something that was tactile, you know, once you located where that knob was, you could twist it while you're paying attention to your driving. It is a really dangerous and distracting idea. And yet the government is pretty much mandating that while it is punishing people for doing the same thing with their phone. Well, and the reason that they're doing that is because again the long-term agenda is for you to

not be a driver for you to be a passenger and then it won't matter and then you know you've got to keep the passenger busy right so now he's got the touch screen to play with you know while he's being transported from a to b assuming of course he has a good social credit score you got an article talking about good social credit score you got an article bot life where you you chime in on what happened with jim and i this last week give us your take on that well it was interesting and i don't know whether you've experienced this uh but i've spoken with a number of other people who uh who write and and uh and have had um for want of a better word a bot attack you write an article that uh that that challenges a narrative whatever it might be whether it has to do with the vaccines or the electric cars or orange man or whatever

and uh in your comments section of your website you'll get these they have a weird cadence a strange mannerism an odd way of putting things that just kind of recites narrative talking points and it's i'm convinced it's a bot i mean i may be getting paranoid but i don't believe so i think that these are these are our ais that are sent out there kind of like in the movie and those little little things would be out there spinning around and trying to get at things and i think full discord you know and they're trying to break up uh the conversation on the facts to present these these these narrative points of view you can still identify them i think just by the again the awkwardisms and the incongruities that you'll see that the conversation on the facts to present these, these, these narrative points of view, you can still identify them. I think just by the, again,

the awkward isms and the incongruities that you'll see that a normal human being wouldn't speak that way. At least I don't think so. Yeah. And of course, you know, when you look at, uh, at Gemini and I talked about this last week, uh, Matt Taibbi said, um, as everybody was talking about this ridiculous, um, you know, cultural misappropriation, I guess we about this ridiculous, you know, cultural misappropriation, I guess we could call it, you know, when they say, show me an American revolutionary soldier or somebody from 17th century Scotland, and it would make them black or Asian or whatever.

So he said, he said, I looked at the text thing and he, and he asked it to tell him something, you know, about, about Trump or about Biden. And it wouldn't talk about that. So he said, tell me something about me, you know, about Matt Taibbi. And so it came and made up all this stuff, and it was all really negative. And it said, oh, yeah, he's had a lot of complaints about his accuracy, and it cited a lot of made-up articles, and then started cross-referencing these made-up articles. I mean, it was literally automated defamation.

And I've seen this from somebody else early on, which ChatGPT from OpenAI, it was a politician who was running. And OpenAI came back and made up a bunch of defamatory stuff about him as well. And their excuse of all this stuff as well, it's just in its early stages. And you agreed when you started to use this, that it might have some issues and everything. So we can say whatever we want to about you, we can make up all kinds of detailed stuff.

And that's the key thing about it. It's so detailed now that, and it's getting better at all this stuff. So if it is bots out there and if they are putting stuff out like that, it's detailed enough so if it is bots out there and if they are putting stuff out like that it's detailed enough so that it is believable and people will look at this and if they see it as a comment on a website but even if they see it and know that it's coming from one of these ai chat programs that are prone to hallucinating they're going to be inclined to believe it because hey

it's like a computer printout it's like these computer models that they have about climate change or about the pandemic or whatever. Everybody is literally, this is the scary thing. It is literally what Oral described in 1984 when the past was rewritten. You know, everything that's online, if they have, if they manage to control everything that's online, they could literally erase the past and create a new past. And so I think the lesson here, and I've been doing this myself for many years, it's imperative that we have physical hard copy proof of the history of the past, including things like books that are now being rewritten so that we can show what they actually did say

as opposed to what they're telling us they say now. Yes. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you've got to keep that as a record. As a matter of fact, when we look at manuals that we're going to have in order to be able to survive when things get really bad, civildefensemanual.com, he only puts it out in paper and everything. And by the way, we've got some other comments here. Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministries, good to see you again. He says, what I find remarkable

is the EV bikes are catching fire as well. People aren't being told about it. New York City Fire Department has had three times of fire calls already this year than last because of EV bike fires. Yeah, I talked about that a couple of days ago.

Just in a couple of months, they have surpassed what they used to have in a year. People are dying. They have a tremendous number of fires. And it's all of these different battery battery things as they scale the thing up it gets even worse they got 2 000 of these um e-buses these electric buses in the uk they're they're like a ticking they're going from 400 to 800 volt architecture now if you can imagine you know the potential fire risk that's involved in that. And what about if it saves even more time?

You know, and apparently, again, another example, it doesn't seem to matter in this case, you know, that people are being killed by these things. Yeah, that's right. Uh, yes. The Syrian girl says, uh, uh, right, Eric, I have a gray Honda CRV because I would have had to go up to the next level above EX if I bought a blue one. That's what they do with the color stuff. My son says, so I guess with these chargers, they can make the noise. They can make it shake. The only thing missing now is they need to have a gasoline flavored vape spewing out

the back, you know, maybe while you're charging your charger, they can give you the the gasoline smell remember the smell phone that they'll probably come up with that too exactly oh well the probably will have the canned air you know the peri air that you had in space balls that uh yeah they had uh you could open that i find this also incredibly depressing you know it was interesting back in when was it like 99 or 98 whenever the original matrix came out and you saw these people who were sort of like a fetus embedded in a pod you know and they were fed artificial reality and in their minds they thought they were living their lives and you know you thought wow that's a really horrific concept and it is becoming the reality this is this is a yuval noah harari uh vision for our future oh yeah or they what was it wally where they had all the

fat people and uh you know being on on like the the cruise ship space uh thing was that wally and i think it was wally yeah yeah that i look at that and it's like wow these they really predicted this pretty well they kind of like the simpsons they know what the future is going to be like and they they put it in their cartoons uh so uh yeah it's a couple of other things here before we run out of time here uh owen 61 thank you very much for a tip and uh and the compliment i appreciate that and uh owen 61 also said i found the donation key on rumble uh so that's good folks uh take a look and and if you need any help we can show you where that is and we would appreciate that um so you've also you've got uh you've talked about uh manual transmissions what is the state of manual transmissions now and why do they matter and i think that they do but what is the state of it

right now well the state of it is that they are making something of a comeback uh in some segments toyota has brought out once again toyota a number of new models, including the Corolla GR, I think it is, with a manual transmission. And I think BMW is going to offer the manual in this Z4, which had previously been automatic only. But the overall trend is for automatic only. And I think it's pernicious. It's not just because I'm an enthusiast and I enjoy driving cars with manual transmissions i believe it's really important uh

that people learn to drive and have a sense of themselves in relation to the vehicle and if i had a kid and i was teaching that kid how to drive i would teach the kid how to drive on a manual car because it focuses them that's right the driving and that develops a habit and a skill set that takes you through life and makes you a better driver going down the road, even if you don't drive a manual car going forward. But, you know, the reason that the automatics are becoming so dominant is simply because they can be programmed. You know, once again, back to the government, you can't program a manual transmission. You can program an automatic, an electronically controlled automatic transmission. And that matters because all these manufacturers have to comply with these

tests that the government sets forth. So they set them up to shift a certain way and at a certain time to optimize things like fuel economy and to reduce emissions. And there you go. And that's why automatics have become ubiquitous now. Yeah. It's a way of cheating on the test, except,

Oh, they don't like it when you cheat on it. Well, they do in some cases, don't they? If you go in the direction they want. I just had a listener who was talking about that the other day. Did the same thing with their kid, as you're just talking about. Same thing I did with my child. And I said, you know, I'll help you if you get a manual transmission.

And he said he wanted them to drive that because it does focus them more. And he says, of course, they also can't have the phone in their hand while they're doing this manual transmission. So it's got a lot of real benefits there. But I always love the manual, personally, because it is such a more engaging process. process and i find that i don't i'm not i'm personally don't believe i'm as good and as attentive a driver uh when i am driving an automatic as i am when i'm driving a manual because you don't have to be that's right you know when you have a car you kind of have to look down the road and anticipate you know the change in traffic conditions and how you're going to respond to that and in your mind the gears are turning you know and then you're deciding which gear you're going to be in what gear you're going to be in next and so on whereas with your automatic you just

kind of zone out and listen to the radio well we're all going to have to uh get manual control of our government and our society we're going to have to get it in gear pretty soon because time is running out thank you so much for joining us eric peters at ericpetersauto.com thank you very much thank you david you. Have a good day. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their commons project, to make sure the commoners own nothing in the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
