You're not going to be able to be. world of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the david night show has the clock strikes 13 it's wednesday the 19th of november here of our lord 2025 well yesterday there was a big vote what people have been looking for for quite a while and after they got the vote pushed through to have a vote uh then then it was overwhelmingly nearly unanimous. Only one person did not vote to release the Epstein documents.

What would be the point of that? And why did Trump flip-flop on all this? We'll take a look at that. We'll take a look at the reactions that are there. And we'll also take a look at the economic, at the plans that the Trump administration has for fixing air traffic control, health care, and unaffordable mortgages. Just joking. There is no plan.

There's nobody coming to help you're on your own. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Well, it was a huge fight to get past the gatekeeper, house speaker, Johnson. And once they got past that and just narrowly squeaked past that, then they finally got to the vote. And people said, well, I think there's going to be a lot of people going to be crossing the aisle to vote with this. And it turned out it was 427 to one. One guy does not, I would not want to be him when he runs for re-election.

I don't know what's the matter with him. Clay Higgins, he's from Louisiana, another one of these crazy Louisiana politicians. No offense if you're in Louisiana. I know you probably didn't vote for these people, but still, how did we get Bill Cassidy, this handmade for Big Pharma, Mike Johnson, a handmade for Trump, And anybody in power, and this guy, Clay Higgins, who voted to keep the Epstein documents quiet. Well, this is what Massey had to say about it. I want to thank the generosity of Jim McGovern, Representative McGovern, for granting us this time.

I'm embarrassed for my own party today. I'm embarrassed. We withhold, withheld signing in, swearing in, a duly representative of the people for 49 days. just to avoid this vote that's finally going to happen today. I'm embarrassed that my own party isn't going to yield me time to debate this, even though they say they support it, and I authored it. They don't even want to yield me time to debate this during the bill debate. But I'm thankful.

Let me tell you who I'm thankful to. These three brave women, Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mason, Lauren Boberg, they have been threatened. They have been intimidated. Physically, politically, it's disgusting. and not by the far left, they have been intimidated by people in our own party. And for what? Say it.

Trump. For seeking justice for these victims. So my hats off. I congratulate them for standing strong. I've always wondered, where were the Republican men during this battle? We've taken five months. These three women and I have had to drag our party to this floor today to even vote on this. And Roe Kana is the most to be thanked here in an extraordinary display of bipartisanship.

He did not hesitate when I asked if we wanted to bring this bill to the floor together. If he would stand in the trenches with me, he said yes. And so the Trojan and Bot Armies that are on social media attacking Thomas Massey. Oh, he's a grandstander. Oh, he's another Liz Cheney. No, he's not. As a matter of fact, I didn't put it in him. It's a great clip that somebody posted up.

saw on Twitter, where it goes back to that encounter that he had with Jamal, I can't remember the name of the guy, he was rabidly, you know, pushing gun control, and it was a great shouting match, debate, if you will, but more of a shouting match in the halls of the Congress, and Massey is very strongly for the Constitution for Liberty and other issues like that, not Liz Cheney, not the Cheney sound. But he also had something to say about. Mike Johnson. That's Bill. He says that it was poorly drafted. It does not protect the victims as well. What do you say to him? Well, he's trying to, he's trying to say that rich and powerful men who

were on the plane to Epstein Island are now victims, that they would be victims because their names would get disclosed. Like, look at his PowerPoint presentation today. He's creating a new category of victims. So I think that's how a Christian man can stand up there and say a lie like. that is he's got something in the back of his head that makes it okay but he if he had real concerns he could have introduced his own legislation look that's right yeah Mike Johnson is just unbelievable anybody who is a Christian and identifies as a Republican ought to be embarrassed because of Mike Johnson have to put a caveat there okay but Mike Johnson is not really what I consider when I talk

about a conservative or a Christian. And then he was asked about the personal attacks on him by Trump because it wasn't just Marjorie Taylor Green. It wasn't just Lauren Bobert being summoned in and browbeaten by all of these people in the Trump administration, FBI Department of Justice and the Attorney General and the president all at once intimidating her. She was not intimidated. What just a personal nature of this?

I mean, again, he goes after you, your wife, calls Marjorie Taylor Green, a traitor. He went after my late wife and my current wife. What do you think about that? I think it's a new low for him, but, again, we laughed it off. It's more to his detriment than mine that he, you know, put something like that out. But I think it was beyond the pale. Absolutely. Yeah, that's the thing about Trump.

He just keeps hitting newer and newer, lower and lower. hits with all this stuff and so one of the things I'm going to talk about once we get finished with this is the fact that it's another week another terrorist we got Mohammed bin Salman the clown prince as Geraldson Lutley calls him he's now fedding another Muslim terrorist another head chopper that is out there of course MBS didn't just stop at chopping heads so he chopped Khashoggi into all these little tiny pieces there And Trump is fine.

He says, well, a lot of people didn't like that guy. And, you know, things happen, whatever. How many times do you, how many different data points do we need for Donald Trump to figure out what kind of a person, what kind of a quote-unquote leader he is? Congress overwhelmingly votes to release the Epstein file, sending the bill to Trump. It was Clay Higgins at Louisiana, the only one in the House that opposed the measure. as soon as it had to the Senate

where Chuck Schumer requested unanimous consent to pass the bill not a senator objected so it was unanimous in the Senate and it was nearly unanimous except for one person in the House and again wouldn't you think that would be the case aren't these people concerned about optics

everybody understands how this looks if they try to hide this stuff except for Trump and Mike Johnson and Clay Higgins, I guess. You know, why would they object? That's a lose-lose proposition. So it's almost like Trump is being blackmailed by Mossad or something. As a matter of fact, when we look at this and whether or not the information is going to come out,

I think that we're going to see that they put in a clause there. And that clause is going to keep any information from being released. And it is very interesting to see why that clause is there. Things have changed around here. Today at Dundeele, we believe car buying should be exciting, not exhausting. And that's exactly what you'll find with Dundeele cars, thousands of vehicles from Ireland's most trusted dealerships, all in one place, backed by our certified trusted dealer program.

It's time to put the political agenda and the party affiliations on the side, said an Epstein survivor, Haley Robson. This is a human issue. This is about children. But, you know, what Trump is going to do now is he's going to play the partisan card. And the other aspect of this, a lot of people say, why is Trump, you know, he was for releasing the files, then he was against releasing the files. Now he's for releasing the files again.

is it that they've sanitized it of all Republicans stuff and he's going to focus on the partisan issue that may be it but I think it is definitely the fact that he didn't want to be on the losing side of the vote I mean he's been on the losing side of the issue and blind and deaf to that now for several months but I think he finally realized that you know the thing that mattered to him was if the Senate was going to unanimously by voice vote push this through and if it's going to lose in the House, 427 to 1, I think Trump does not want to be on the losing side. One thing he's got to have, and that is clout.

And he thinks that his clout comes from clobbering people. So Mike Johnson sought to spin his reversal on the bill as they push for transparency. He told GOP lawmakers to vote their conscience in closed-door meetings, and he accused the proponents of the bill of rejecting his offer of talks to tweak the measure. Negotiations that they mocked as another obstruction tactic. The bill demands that the Justice Department release its case files on Epstein, a separate investigation conducted by the House Oversight Committee, has released thousands of pages of emails and other documents from Epstein's estate, showing connections to global leaders,

Wall Street power brokers, influential political figures, and Trump himself. You know, the usual group of victims, as Trump would put it. after campaigning at sorry as mike johnson put it right after campaigning on a vow to release all the Epstein files trump dramatically changed his tune last spring when attorney general bondi reportedly told him that his name featured prominently in the documents well do we really need to know that i mean he was obviously publicly partying with the guy for 15 years our best friends for 15 years and wingman the stonewalling campaign sparked widespread discontent within the MAGA movement, Trump unsuccessfully sought to keep a lid on the rebellion for months, and Johnson assisted by blocking efforts to force a vote on the measure. Again, they were losers, bigly, right? Loser, that's, they should all, holding a bad hand sign. This does permit the Justice Department to withhold materials in an ongoing investigation, a loophole that could prove significant now that Trump has also ordered a new

probe of Democrats that he claims had ties to Epstein. So there you go. If he says, but actually there's another aspect of it as well, that they can hide this information. They're not done yet. But he could, if he starts an investigation, he could investigate, of course, Democrats. And if it's an active investigation, we can't allow that to be released. See how that works? So it can be both partisan and a cover-up at the same time. Even as Johnson prepared for a massive vote in favor of the bill, he said the Senate should fix the measure, but he didn't specify how. Massey countered that he wouldn't accept any further manipulation, and he warned the Senate before it went to them not to mess with it. That is wrong. Do not let the Senate muck this bill up. And if you are,

if you're a party to that in the Senate, you are part of this cover-up that we are trying to expose. I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. That is what they have coming. In fact, they need to be on the other side of bars, a lot of them. Some of them will be embarrassed, but some of them need to go to prison. And the survivors know that. So how will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when there are men, rich men, in handcuffs being perpwalked to the jail.

And until then, this is still a cover-up. Yeah, so, in other words, it's not going to succeed. You're not going to see the rich men in handcuffs being perp-walked to jail. You're also not going to have any reform of the intelligence agencies. And I think that is the most important thing. That is the wellspring of all this kind of evil. And so I want to get under that, the national security angle that is there. They have basically admitted the fact that this is really the intelligence agencies.

Like Alex Acosta said, beginning when, remember when he was in his confirmation hearings for Department of Labor Head, and again, why would Trump pick this guy? did he have any experience and labor issues no as an employer no as a union guy no he had nothing that you had seen in his resume they would recommend him for the department of labor and of course there's nothing in the constitution that there's nothing in the constitutional resume that would allow a department of labor either let's just say that but anyway typically you would have somebody that there's some rational as to why you put this guy in this unconstitutional department but there was not Nothing. No connection. He'd been a lawyer all of his life. He was one of 92 federal prosecutors. And he gave this sweetheart deal to Epstein. And when he was asked about it, he said, well, I was told he was intelligence. And I was told to lay off. Well, Massey had more about the redactions. He said, these documents need to be released. And don't try to redact them because now we've got a law. And that would be illegal, he said. They have to explain to Congress. And we have a list of reasons they can't use to redact material. And so, for instance, there's been a lot of discussion about trying to protect men who might be embarrassed. Let's say because they went to the island, they can't redact it for those reasons. And if they do, they're breaking the law because this is passing the House, the Senate, and being signed by the President.

And if it's signed the law, how long will take? Is that, Gordering answered that question perfectly? We're done with words. We're just looking at. Congressman Masson, do you think you'll see your colleagues arrest? I don't think so. And then he had this to say about Trump when he was asked. Well, he got tired of me winning, so he joined our side. I have no animosity toward him. I regret that it got personal for some folks, but it never has for me. It's always been about the survivors.

What do you think of this reversal? I mean, after months, I'm fighting you. Well, the Speaker, the Attorney General, the The FBI director, the president, and the vice president could have saved us all this time and embarrassment, frankly, for our own party if they'd just done the right thing four months ago. Do you believe him, Congressman, I mean, for weeks he's been pushing against this. Now he said he supports it. Do you buy it? He's only supporting it because the president told him to support it. No, that's what Mike Johnson does.

No, I'm talking about do you buy President Trump saying that he wants the House to pass this resolution? Well, I'm concerned that now he's opening a flurry of investigations. And I believe they may be trying to use those investigations as a predicate for not releasing the files. And that's my concern. Do you think they don't try to block it? Well, they will, I'm afraid they're going to try to use a provision of the law that allows you not to release these materials if they're the subject of an ongoing investigation and would harm, and the release of which would harm the ongoing investigation. So what do you think this is all about for President Trump?

First, he was blocking this, pushing Republicans to block this for so long. Now he's reversing course, and he has the power to release the full files anyway. It was pretty simple. For four months, he thought the best thing for him was to keep the file secret, and somebody convinced him that the best thing for him was to release the files. And if they're serious about it, they should release them right now. It's that simple. Why do you think he is working so hard not to get them released for so many months?

What do you think the real reason is? These files implicate billionaires and friends of him at the end of his and political donors that he's trying to protect. And Epstein also had close ties to our own intelligence agencies and Israel's intelligence agencies. That's why there's so much effort in trying to stop this. And I do believe they'll try to stop it somewhere else. And that's going to backfire on them too. So the president saying he'll sign it, you don't buy that? I think he'll sign it.

I want to be there at the signing party. I think he'll be invited. I've never seen somebody not get invited to sign their own bill. Things have changed around here.

It's a personal nature of this. We'll just wait. Goes after you, your wife, cause margin tail of green, a trainer. Let's be clear, he went after my late wife and my current wife. What do you think about that? I think it's a new loaf.

Well, we already played that part of it in another clip. But, yeah, as a matter of fact, you know, they've got a couple of different ways to stop this one of them is to open up an investigation of course open up an investigation to democrats and then you can keep it hidden the other of course is the intelligence agency angle and that's the key one he almost talked about it but not quite and so that's why this is really not going to happen because that is at the essence of this i don't think that even trump is that tone deaf and that blind to the optics of what's going on that he

would stretch this thing out as long as he did. Everybody would see that he was for it, then he was against it, now he's for it, and so forth. I don't think he would have done that if he wasn't covering up from Assad and the CIA. Let's understand the CIA is the real government here. And I'm going to explain that to you when we come back after the break. I'm going to talk about where he's going to go with the partisan stuff, but also the bill itself has got to carve out there if the intelligence agencies don't like.

it so if they start the prosecution and they say we've got we've got an active investigation so you can't talk about this they can shut it down that way but they can also shut it down with the national security special password that they have there before we take a break I'm gonna cover the comments that are here defy tyrant 1776 I still say this is all just more political theater nothing come from any of this that's true if you're you're looking at this from the standpoint that we're going to get more information or documents about what we already know is true. I mean, I look at this as very much like the commissions that were

done to investigate whatever, whether it's Benghazi or the commissions in the UK to investigate the COVID nonsense, which are always a cover-up, you know, just like the Warren Commission was a cover-up of the JFK assassination. These commissions are always a cover-up. They're an opportunity, a career-making opportunity for grandstanding for the people who run these things. I mean, you go back to the Warren Commission, Arlen Specter became senator for life because of his magic bullet invention that he came up with. And he sold that. So it's like, you're good.

You're our guy. We're going to keep you there. We can use somebody like you. But I think that the real issue, which is what's going to come out of this, is the politics that are involved. and I think that that is really consequential. I mean, this might, as started to drive a little bit of a wedge into the mind of the Maga people who mindlessly support Trump, regardless of what the man does. And this, this is the significance of it.

What it is doing is showing his character yet again. We've seen it over and over and over again. But there's indications that perhaps this is the first time that many people. Mago will admit to the obvious and not indulge in double think. You know, when you talk about TDS, you know, Trump derangement syndrome, as I like to talk about it as Trump delusion. And the other D is Trump double think. You may hate the lockdown and the masks and you may hate the vaccine, all that.

But the guy who did it, the guy who boasts about it, even. It's not even that they don't understand the mechanism of how the federal government gets around. the 10th Amendment by showering money, by bribing and blackmailing people, but even brags about it. And they are capable of double-think. And so TDS is really Trump double-think syndrome, which we see happening with these people. And perhaps, and I'm thinking that if anything comes of this, it'll be that. But we already know Epstein, and we already know that he's connected with Mossad, and we already know that Mossad controls Trump and the CIA controls Trump. And the CIA controls Trump. and these criminal agencies are working together all the time.

So if we can get some more exposure of that, that would be worthwhile. So Travis has joined us now. Good to see, Travis. How's it going? What do you think about all this stuff? It's going well. It's just more of the same. You know, it's just this is business as usual.

It's the exact same thing we've been dealing with for the past year now. But it is interesting to see how Trump maneuvers this. You know, first of all, they've got a couple of escape clauses in this thing. to keep any real information from coming out there. But then publicly, he reverses himself. And this is the second time in a week that we've seen him do massive reversals. It hasn't gotten much exposure. I've mentioned it briefly on this show.

But the fact that he was adamant against all economic reality that tariffs do not raise prices, of course they do. They're a tax. They're either going to raise the price or the business is going to go out of business. So he's either going to drive people out of business or they're going to raise the price. It's just like minimum wage or something. And Republicans, before Trump, used to always understand that minimum wage increases doesn't make anybody wealthy or what it does. It fuels inflation, raises costs and price. And if you tax corporations, any way that you tax corporations,

whether there's an income tax or where there's a tariff. Those taxes are always passed on, or the business will pass on and pass away. So this week, what he did was he's been telling everybody tariffs don't raise prices, and he's been telling everybody that food is cheaper, right? So what do you do this week? He said, well, I've got to lower the price of food, so I'm going to lower the tariffs. So right there, he admitted he was lying about the inflation of food, and he admitted that the tariffs were increasing the price of all this stuff. So he's not having a good week if anybody's keeping track of this, but I guess they

really don't keep track of it. Yeah, when nobody is paying attention, when nobody knows what's actually going on, it doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what you do. You can say one thing and do the exact opposite. And just so long as they only listen to what you say, they'll believe you. And that's the problem is that they are tracking what's going on, but they won't make the connection ever to Trump. It truly is amazing. Go ahead and cover the rest of these comments here. We have Pezanovanté 1776 says Trump will never allow any actually damaging info on himself to be made public? That's right, which I agree with.

Well, the damaging information about Trump has already been made public. It was out there parading around with this guy for the longest time. I mean, you're not necessarily going to find any documents that said, you know, I killed her with the, with a knife and, you know, with Colonel Mustard in the library or something. But, you know, we got a clue. We don't need to actually have the signed confession. Yes, I did it. Here it is.

you know, we don't have to have the email that actually confesses to all of it. We have seen it and we can piece it together. But it's the way that he's going to use this. I think it's interesting to watch how this weasel, it's going to try to weasel out of it. I think he probably will. But it has awakened a lot of people in Manga, I think. I hope so.

We can hope at least. Nibaru 2029 says Bonnie Battelle have used the shutdown time to sanitize the Epstein files to Gallagula Trump's sat. satisfaction. And now the rewrites can be released for the Sheepel's distraction. You know, the interesting thing is they may sanitize the files, but their cover-up has dirtied them so much they can never sanitize their public image again. The public image of Bondi, of Cash Patel, of Dan Bongino, I don't think can be sanitized at this point. I think that's an interesting outcome. Yeah. No, they've completely tied themselves to Donald Trump. Yeah. A second-term

president who is going to be on the way out. They've done everything they can to maintain his image, to do his bidding, despite the fact that it's the exact opposite of what the American people want. They cannot function in any other administration. As soon as Donald Trump is gone, these people are out the door. Everyone is already sick of them. I think Cash Patel's tenure is probably record time for someone being the most hated FBI director. Everyone is looking at him saying, Something is wrong here. This is your fault. And it stops there. It stops with Bondi and Patel and anyone else this touches. But for some reason, the guy at the center of it all, Donald Trump, is free and clear to do whatever he wants. We're sick of the sycophants. And, you know, that's that trio there. And you can also throw in Mike Johnson as well. It is absolutely sickening to watch these people who will just do anything no matter. They think that we don't see it. But we do. We absolutely do. Mike Johnson benefits a little bit from the fact that he's such a non-entity. He barely exists as a person, you know, he's there, but he's kind of just like the guy in the background.

He's the guy that would be extra number 250 in a scene. Cash Patel. Things have changed around here. Today at Dun Deal, we believe car buying should be exciting, not exhausting.

Pam Bondi woman, so that gives her a little bit of something. Mike Johnson, he's just a stereotypical bureaucrat. I couldn't pick him out of a crowd if I were to walk past And despite the fact I know exactly what he looks like. I would breeze past Mike Johnson and never once think it was him. But if he went past Cash Ratelli, he's like, what's he looking at?

What's up with the eyes? Which looks like a possum that you shine a flashlight into in the middle of the night. Stunned at all times. And unbelievably corrupt when you look at what he's doing with the Jets and his girlfriend and the security details for her, all the rest of the stuff. Just another example of how these people have got a place at the table and they are going to feast and wallow in this corruption. That's what I'm seeing with the Trump administration. So that's why I think it's important to talk about this. We need to

understand nature and the character of these people. Yeah, I keep saying Cash Patel is as crooked as his nose. For his eyes. Fazzano Vante 1776 says Mike Johnson, a Christian L-O-L. Yeah. Yeah. That's about my sentiments on it. Defy Tirement, 1776. Massey isn't on our side, because if he was, he would have told the truth about the warp speed poison. He's never once come out against it. And that's something. Well, I agree. I agree about that.

But he is more on our side on some other key issues. As a farmer himself, he has come out to say that, you know, he's got the Prime Act, which says that if you raise the cattle yourself, you should be able to butcher it yourself and to get around the USDA. So, E has some very good legislation on some very key issues. I'd put him in the same category as Rand Paul, who I think was horrific on the warp speed stuff and still is. I mean, Rand Paul is the guy who is still trying to sell this lab leak theory, which is a big cover-up. Massey has just kind of set it out. However, on some other issues, he's been very good. And I can't say that about too many people in Congress.

And he's willing to take on Trump. So those are some important things. If he's going to take on Trump, he's going to take on the USDA to fight for our food freedom, those are some important things. So we'll applaud him on the issues. As I said before, let's not have any of this stuff where we create some, you know, magic, holy person who is up there. If you start doing that and you don't realize that there's flaws with everybody,

then you're going to wind up worshipping him like Maga worships Trump. Take a look at Massey. I understand that he's wrong on some issues, but not many of them. And when he's taking the lead on some very important issues, support him on that. That's the way I think we ought to look at this. No man is going to be perfect, especially in politics. You're going to have your disagreements with people. And, of course, you know, that is a huge, huge issue.

But I think that he can still be on our side on a lot of different issues. And I think it's also important to see that he's got, integrity to stand up to Trump. He's not part of the hive mind, which is really, really unusual in Washington. Highly unusual. Someone had a comment the other day of Charlie H. What were you saying, Lance? So someone had a comment the other day that I thought summed that up pretty well, said, good or bad politicians is always an issue by issue matter.

That's right. That's right. Absolutely. You know, it's kind of the thing, you know, we talk about outlets. you know, news outlets, you know, don't just take in everything their news outlet says. They can occasionally make a mistake or something, right? And, but if they are misleading you on issue after issue after issue, at some point you've got to say, well, you know, I used to look at this site covering conservative issues, and I'd include him that, W&D, Breitbart, and, of course, Info Wars. But, you know, they've become such cheerleaders for Trump that they're no longer honest brokers

of what they're doing. And so you can have an honest disagreement with somebody, or he can have a blind spot. You know, his blind spot to the tech stuff, you know, look, I didn't understand about vaccines all my life either. And he's coming from a tech background. And so a lot of that stuff may be, you know, just kind of that kind of mentality. I don't know. I'm not making excuses for him. He's wrong on that issue. I'm just saying he's right on many other things. And it is issue by issue. And so I think it's very important to stand up against this hive mind that has taken over Washington, and I'm glad that he did that. Go ahead. Yeah.

It's important to remember that not everyone believes the exact same thing you do, you know, you can be right and they can be wrong, but they can be honestly wrong. They may just actually believe something different. They may not be trying to scam you. and perhaps that is Thomas Massey. Charlie H.S. as interesting that Speaker Mouse just rose up out of the swamp to become Speaker. I wonder who orchestrated that. I said that at time.

I thought, you know, remember, they went through several different votes. They couldn't figure out who was going to be the speaker. And then all of a sudden, this guy you've never heard up before comes out. It's like, how did that happen? Well, he found out right away when he started reversing everything that he'd always said as a member of Congress once he became Speaker of the House. He started jumping in right away. yeah, we're going to send more money to Ukraine, more money to Israel for their wars and all the rest of stuff. It's like, uh-oh, yeah, he is a swamp creature. Now we know how this guy became Speaker of the

House. Absolutely. Yeah, you ain't never had a sellout like me is what Mike Johnson was singing as he danced his way up the steps. That's right. That's right. Go ahead. That's a, that's the, what the comments I have so far. So. And of course, you know, we talk about people who are sellouts. I saw this. I just couldn't believe it. This is Eric Adams, the current. mayor of new york and um so he's not going to be mayor anymore but he went to israel to tell them how much he loved him and i'm thinking you know that i thought was a seminal moment for ma'm donnie uh when they asked him you know which foreign country you're going to go to and um he says i'm not going to go to any foreign country i'm going to stay here i you know

mayor of new york i'm going to focus on the local issues here and they said well you don't want to go to israel because everybody else is saying they're going to go to israel And Eric Adams, listen to what he had to say. My male tea are here in Israel. And as I finish, I wanted to come back here to Israel and let you know that I serve you as the mayor. But I want to continue to have the title that's more important to me than anything. I'm your brother. Thank you.

there he go he was mayor of israel i didn't know that did you guys know that no he just said he served them as the mayor that's right oh that's right yeah he was serving he was serving them as mayor of new york he was serving Israel how about that we don't realize just how far down the tentacles stretch do we it's absolutely amazing to me now everybody has to kow to trump Countout to Israel, count out to the CIA or whatever. Well, you really know who controls you, don't you? We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. And we're going to talk about what is next with this.

We'll be right back. So, I'm going to be able to be. I don't know. I'm going to be able to be. I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to be able to be. I don't know.

I don't know. I know. I know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I know.

Elvis, Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles, and the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the oldies channel at APSRadio.com. Well, as Trump has been at war with the GOP to keep the Epstein stuff tamped down, now he's going to go to war with the Democrats, which is exactly what you would expect.

And I think that will tamp it down completely. Interestingly, you have Anna Polina Luna, who was on the House Oversight Committee said that Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before Congress to testify in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein issue. And I've got to say, this is kind of amazing. It's kind of the arrogance of Steve Bannon who refused to testify, and they got him for contempt of Congress, right? All you have to do is show up and take the fifth.

but that's the arrogance of a lot of these people in politics. They won't even do that. Notice how the House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it, said Anna Polino, Luna. Well, again, these are the partisan games that you would expect, and this is their new strategy. It's a smarter strategy than going to war with your own people, but this is the next stage of this, and Trump had this to say about it. Let's see. last night. You urged House Republicans to vote in favor of this Epstein release bill they're

going to vote on tomorrow. I just want to be super clear on your position. Do you want to see that past the Senate? Would you sign that bill if it gets to your desk? I do want to say, here's what I want. We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends are Democrats. You look at this. Like you. And you look at Larry Suckers. Like Trump. Bill Clinton. They went to his island all the time. And many others. They're all Democrats. All I want is I want for people to recognize a great job that I've done on pricing, on affordability, because we brought prices way down, but they go way lower, on energy. Yeah, he's lying about that.

Eighth Wars and another one coming pretty soon, I believe. Also a lie. We've done a great job. And I hate to see that deflect from the great job we've done. So I'm all for it. You know, we've already given 50,000 pages. You do know that. Yeah, yeah, it's all Democrats, you know, except that, yeah, Epstein is a Democrat.

Here he is with all Democrats, you know, Bill and Hillary and all these people, they're all Democrats, it's a club. And Trump was always a Democrat until he decided that he wanted to pretend, reinvent himself, pretend to be something that he really wasn't. So after initially calling people using the release, the files on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, calling them stupid, calling them foolish, he is now pulled a 180 and is now making a fresh call to make all the files public. Because now the partisan thing not only allows him to consolidate and try to reunify his base

of politicians there in Washington, but it also allows him to do a cover-up through Pan Bondi if he prosecutes some of them. They should vote to release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide. Well, here's the issue, right? Trump could have ordered the release of the Epstein files himself. He didn't have to wait for a vote in Congress. And he got called out about that by a reporter. It made him absolutely furious.

So he said, so let's start talking about the Republican record, which, by the way, in 2025 has been really awful, really awful on the issues. And again, when you look at Trump and Jeffrey Lerner, Epstein is such a public record. It's amazing that this guy can reinvent himself and pretend that he is not a Democrat, that he is not a Jeffrey Epstein Powell. So Galane Maxwell's petition to the Supreme Court was not denied until this year. So under Trump's Department of Justice, his own current guidelines, which were extensively revised by Bill Barr during Trump's first term, the Epstein files should not have been released while Biden was in office.

It's all Trump. And that's the thing to remember. They said, well, why didn't Biden release them? Well, because they changed the rules on that under Bill Barr. And so it really is something that Trump could do, should do, still not doing. And you had Epstein's brother went on with Cuomo, said he thinks that they're sanitizing the files. You know, I think Epstein's brother is sanitizing what his brother has done. It's truly as amazing that this guy has become a source for people like Cuomo. I do want to

talk about is I've been recently told the reason they're going to be releasing these things and the reason for the flip is that they're sanitizing these files. There's a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they're scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it. That's what I was told by a pretty good source. Yeah, well, that's a FBI tradition. And, you know, it's important to talk about this because we need to understand that the FBI has always been involved in lies, cover up, and blackmail. This is a Jagger Hoover tradition.

And we've seen it in things like Flight 800. It was the FBI who went around and confiscated evidence that you had people who had air traffic control records that saw the missile that shot down. flight 800 they went around and confiscated this this is what the fbi does it lies it covers up it keeps information about people and black mails them and of course you have the same kind of corruption under cash patel that you had under christopher ray in terms of private use of the jet that he criticized when he was out of power but now that he's in power he's enjoying all the perks of power so the latest files show a lot of emails between the upstein brothers

some of them that said something made some allegations about Trump having some kind of a sexual interaction with Bubba and he was very adamant that Bubba did not refer to the nickname of Bill Clinton and so I guess we can trust the brother of Jeffrey Epstein whatever he has to say right I'm sure that and when he was pushed on it he said well that's all I've got to say it has nothing to do Bill Clinton and that's my last word on that email. So there you go. Well, thanks for clearing that. Yeah, it truly is amazing that this guy has become a go-to. So, oh, well, you know, his brother said this and that about it. Well, I consider

the source. Mark Epstein. You know who I trust, the brothers of multi-billionaire, you know, predator, pedophiles. That's who, that's who I go to for my news. My trusted source is Jeffrey Epstein's brother. This is the world we're living. Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein's brother wants us to believe that he knows everything about all the people connected to Epstein, but didn't have any idea about Epstein's business or what he was doing. And wasn't connected with any of it either. He was looking at all, he knows everything about it, but he's looking at it from a distance. I mean, it's just like, I don't know, there's something wrong about that whole story here. Yeah, you've got all the inside details on all of this.

You know exactly who these emails are referring to. but you weren't involved or at minimum you knew what was happening because you have the context for this and you didn't say anything to anyone you didn't go to the FBI and say hey I know he's my brother but he's involved in some really dark things you need to do something this guy we've had a lot of family relatives that turned in people like Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber's family brother turned him in when he figured out that's what he was doing but it was actually his wife that was like it's your brother and he's like no it's not my brother. She's like, it's definitely your brother. And then he read the specific

phrase, cool-headed logician, which is a phrase Ted Kaczynski often used, or often enough that he knew it. It was like, oh, it is him. It's him. He was right. Yeah, and then he turned him in, right? But not Mark Epstein. He did not turn in his brother, even though all this stuff was happening. And even after he was convicted and continued to do this. And so there was an interaction on Air Force One that between a reporter and Donald Trump, where he told her quiet piggy. And again, it made him angry that she was persistent in terms of asking him questions that he was not clearly answering. And we see reporters who are persistent and they're questioning because we see politicians who always dodge it. And so he just

points a finger at her and tells her quiet piggy. Yeah, there you go. Quiet of piggy. Now, a lot of people thought that was kind of inappropriate and beneath the office of presidency. I would be one of those people who think so. I was kind of interested to see that Info Wars take on it was, that was epic. No, it was juvenile and it was the kind of personality that we have seen from Donald Trump, which is not the kind of. a personality that we ever want to have in as a political leader, pointing a finger at the female reporter's face and saying, quiet, quiet piggy. Trump raised some eyebrows during several tense exchanges with members of the press over the weekend. Of course, he had another one with an ABC reporter who questioned his corruption and his involvement with Saudi Arabia and also questioned the clown prince of Saudi Arabia, MBS, and about the heinous murder of Khashoggi, and Trump really lost it with her.

So the off-camera, the female reporter, who was later identified as a Bloomberg reporter, began to ask if there was anything incriminating in the Epstein emails. And Trump pointed a finger in her face and said, quiet, quiet, Piggy. Piggy has reportedly been a favorite insult of the president in the past. And as 2016 presidential campaign, former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, who won the title at the age of 19, while Trump was co-owner of the organization, claimed that Trump threatened to take away her title after she gained weight.

He'd yell at me all the time. He'd tell me, you look ugly, you look fat. Sometimes he'd say, hello, Miss Piggy. Hello, Miss housekeeping. And so Trump snapped at another report. who was asking about Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Fuentes. He said, well, I found him to be good. I mean, he said things about me over the years.

I think he's good, referring to Carlson. We've had some good interviews. I did an interview with him where we had 300 million hits. See, that's the yardstick that Trump uses, is how much attention he gets. And that's why he does the things that he does. When the reporter began to ask a follow-up, as Trump was still talking, he responded,

you are the worst you're at bloomberg right you are the worst i don't even know why they have you here and so um um the interaction that he had uh with this reporter as i said info worst thought it was epic epic again the um uh they they love the low life low class uh professional wrestling aspect of this. The legacy media circulated. I can understand part of it, you know. Journalists, this class that has set themselves apart from the average person that deign themselves, the arbiters of truth, and they are going to deliver to you the news, and you're going to

believe it because they said it. Things have changed around here. Today at Dundeele, we believe car buying should be exciting, not exhausting. And that's exactly what you'll find with Dundeele cars. thousands of vehicles from Ireland's most trusted dealerships, all in one place, backed by our certified trusted dealer program. So you can buy with ease, confidence, and complete peace of mind. Dundeele cars, trusted dealers, exceptional choice,

because buying a car should feel this good. Search now on Dundeele.I.E. It's easy to sit there and any time someone does anything to them go, yeah, these people are the worst, they have lied to us. But there comes a point where you have to look at the office of the president and say, this is beneath that station. It is, yeah, absolutely. Whereas, you know, maybe somebody, it would be okay for somebody to do this.

Well, there's other ways that you can do that. You know, there's other ways that you can do that. They can shut it down without calling people names. But, of course, it's that kind of juvenile third grade rhetoric that they love. And Maga loves that as well. Could have at least done a Kermit the Frog voice, you know, made it a little funny. Yeah. Quiet, Miss Piggy.

Or he could have done, could have done Babe, right? That'll be enough, Piggy. That'll do. That'll do, Pig. Yeah, that'll do pig. So anyway, the way they refer to it, they said the nagging reporter, look. Yeah, reporters can sometimes look like they're nagging because politicians are always deflecting. They will always either change the subject or they will not directly answer the question and they will spin it.

That's the whole art of the politician. and so as they are evading it, a good reporter is going to press on, and that can be characterized as nagging, but that's just doing her job. Yeah, nagging reporters, as Travis was saying, do exist, and there are plenty of them, but she's nagging him about why haven't you released the Epstein files, which you could have done at any time? That's the key thing I think more important than him calling her piggy, is that he's calling her piggy so that he doesn't have to answer why he's not releasing the Epstein files. as he could have done at any time. That's right. And even his critics, rather saying, look, he called her piggy

instead of saying, look, he doesn't answer the question about releasing the Epstein files. And so it is disgusting to see the way that he interacts with people. But anyway, in the White House, we see that it's not, when we're talking about people that are disgusting

and people who are pigs, the White House intervened on behalf of a real pig, this is Andrew Tate and I think it's yet another example of birds of a feather

when you look at Trump hanging around for 15 years of Jeffrey Epstein his wing man his best friend and then you look at what he's doing

for Andrew Tate look at what he's doing for P. Diddy a lot of talk about the fact that he's going to get him off truly is amazing and I'm not even talking

about the massive corruption in terms of the white collar criminals that he pardoned on behalf of the Kushner crime family, one of whom, after he got pardoned by Trump at the end of his first term, big white collar criminal, and now he's out there literally beating people, even hitting a child. He's got an assault battery charge against him, I think, for a child. But, you know, going into a synagogue and berating the other people that

are there, it truly is. Trump is drawn to people. like this. Again, it's birds of a feather. You look at that guy that he pardoned who has just been, you know, he was doing drugs, but he's, since he's been out, he's not, he's not being retried for doing more drugs. Instead, he's turned to other things in terms of abuse, physical abuse, and, again, just flaunting the toll roads with his Lamborghinis and Ferraris. He just drives right through the tolls. He doesn't stop. And so this is the kind of people, and that's that kind of arrogance and even violence

that characterizes, I think, Andrew Tate as well. Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother and were told to return them by the White House. these are records and interviews that show this experts say this intervention was highly unusual as well as inappropriate so and you tate the self-described misogynist facing allegations of sex trafficking women in three countries when he and his brother left their home in romania to visit the united states um tate posted on x said that tates will be free trump is the president the good old days are back that's right yeah All of these people, Trump is just like Andrew Tate. He's just like Jeffrey Epstein. One thing is I'll see a lot of people say.

It's like, well, these women aren't angels. They're old enough to know what they're getting into. They're, you know, they're freely choosing to go to this man who they know is an abusive, this, that, and the other, it's just, you have to protect the gullible and the stupid. Yeah, yeah. He doesn't excuse what he did. I mean, this is like. He's a monster.

These women are obviously, you know, the worst. Women that show up to this are obviously kind of dumb. You know, it's sad. And you can't let people like this prey on the stupid. It's just you can't. You have to do something about it. When there are monsters among you, you need to remove them. Andrew Tate is a monster.

Well, I've never been one to try to justify the violence and sexual assault and other things that are done by an individual. By blaming the victim. That's really what we're talking about here. You know, she shouldn't have dressed that way. She shouldn't have been jogging in Central Park and all the rest of stuff. And it's like, why would you go there? Why would you feel it necessary to try to excuse the behavior of this guy?

His behavior is what it is, regardless of the other person who is essentially the victim. But again, I guess, you know, this is the pedophile pimp vote that Trump is out there for. What? Certain jobs are just inherently dirty. I mean, obviously pimp, but things like a casino owner or. drug dealer, things that are taking advantage of stupid people, providing vice for people, you know, even if they're choosing that, you're still a scumbag for providing that. I agree, yeah.

And I think that's really the issue, you know, Trump is not so much a real estate guy. He has a vice guy, isn't he? We kind of see that in his friends that are there. So the official who delivered the message was Paul Ingracia, He was trying to ingratiate himself, I guess. A lawyer who previously represented the Tate Brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as a Department of Homeland Security liaison. So you take somebody who is working for these pimps and women abusers,

and you make him a liaison for Homeland Security. That's the Trump administration. The incident is the latest in a string of law enforcement matters where the Trump White House has inserted itself to help friends and to target foes. Trump has urged the Justice Department to go after the elected officials who investigated him and his businesses, and he pardoned a string of political allies, and Andrew Tate is one of the most prominent members of the so-called Manosphere, a collection of influencers, podcasters, and content creators who helped to deliver young male voters to Trump.

And that is why I oppose Andrew Tate. I think he is poison. I think people like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes are poison in a whole new dimension. In a mental and spiritual dimension, they are absolute poison. They are the fentanyl to our morality, I think. I know I say this every time these guys come up, but it's important to understand why they appeal to people. If you don't understand why someone appeals to someone else,

it's very hard to counteract their message. Andrew Tate appeals to men who have been scorned, have been looked down on, who have been told they're worthless. Third wave feminism has been a blight on the country, and it is run men out of a lot of areas. It has made them feel useless and uncared for, and then someone comes along and says, no, actually, you have value.

You're the one that builds society. You are important, and that kind of validation is incredibly powerful when all you've been told your entire life is you are the source of all the world's problems. I agree. I agree. And that's what it does. Yeah, it is a basically a reaction to something else that is bad and people don't have any absolute standard of where that should be. And so they overreact. The pendulum swings back too far the other way. It's important to realize that feminism is bad, but also maybe realize that perhaps we shouldn't keep women in a Romanian sex, slavery operation. You know, we can find a happy middle ground between these two areas, perhaps.

Yeah, people should ask themselves, why is he in Romania, of all places, right? I guess he's kind of latching onto that Vlad the impaler vibe that's out there. I don't know. I wonder why he'd go to notoriously lawless and corrupt Eastern Europe. I wonder what's going on there. It's strange. Well, it's unclear why law enforcement went to examine these devices. what their analysis found, or whether Ingracia's intervention hindered any investigation.

The White House and DHS declined to answer any questions about the incident. What a surprise. Law enforcement experts say it's highly unusual for the White House to get involved in border seizures or to demand authorities give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation. A retired assistant director for Homeland Security investigations said, I've never heard of anything like that in my 30 years of doing this. His job was to analyze contents of electronic devices after they had been seized by Custom and Border Patrol

for anyone to say this request is from the White House. He said that feels like an intimidation tactic. So again, why is he weighing in on the side of Andrew Tate? Well, because he's telling you who he is. And who he is is a guy whose entire life has been profiting from vice. And surprise reversal, Trump now supports the GOP release of the Epstein files. However, as I said before, he's going to do that because now the next wave of defense is to say

that we're going to prosecute some of these Democrats over there. So now this is an active investigation. You can't have that information. And the, but there is another very important caveat here in this. to release the information. People are not buying that Trump didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was up to. A poll shows that only 15% believe that, which is pretty bad. You know, you've got an 80-20 rule.

That's bad enough. This is 85-15. Trump has long insisted he had no involvement or knowledge of Epstein's crimes in spite of the massive evidence, public evidence to the contrary. But the poll conducted mid-November with registered. voters suggest those denials are increasingly falling flat. 60% of Americans think Trump knew what Epstein was up to. Only 15% said he did not.

4 to 1.4 to 1. 38% of voters said they believe that Trump not only knew but participated in it. That would be my opinion. I would be in that 38%. So even Fox's Brett Bear is asking, why did it take so long for Trump to support releasing these Epstein files. And why is he still waiting for this procedure through Congress to happen when he could do it on his own and he could just release this stuff? But the, and you have Howard

Cuncelor said, come on, just spill the beans already. Just let this out. Why have this psycho drama that is there? So the never-ending game of political hide the salami and the stonewalling. He said, it developed into a soap opera over the weekend between Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green, acting out their lovers quarrel on every public channel. Things have changed around here. Today at Dundeele, we believe

car buying should be exciting, not exhausting. And that's exactly what you'll find with Dundeele Cars, thousands of vehicles from Ireland's most trusted dealerships, all in one place, backed by our certified trusted dealer program. So you can buy with ease, confidence, and complete peace of mind.

Dund Deal cars, trusted dealers exceptional choice, because buying car should feel this good. Search now on dundeele. News and gossip until finally Trump pulled one of his trademark jujitsu moves and said well now we're going to release the files. Well the public really wants to find out. It's which celebrities, politicians otherwise, were having sex with underage girls and so that said celebrities can be frog marched out of public life. Only tertiary do they care that Jeffrey Epstein was some kind of an agent or a go-between for the U.S.-UK. Israeli spy services. I agree, and I think it's too bad, because that is, I will continue to run.

This fountain of evil in our society, the intelligence agencies, and in every society, there's not just American society, but it's also in Israel, as well as he pointed out in U.K. On Sunday night, Trump stepped out of the way in one of his customary truth social blurts. Wouldn't it be better if he just went on air with an Oval Office speech to level with the American people, telling all that he knows and what the people need to know about this drawn-out Epstein business? Trump has had many years to familiarize himself with all the details of Epstein, and he knows because he was there. He must know exactly what the guy was up to, yeah, who he catered to as global finance figure and a trafficker of girls. to the political elite, what could possibly shock anyone at this point?

Trump should give that speech, whether the House and the Senate vote to release the DOJ files or not. Above all, I'm sure you realize the country can't stand any more lying, most particularly from Trump and his entourage. The institutional damage is just too grave. As I look at this, it reminds me the way this is unfolded and built up, and the stupid way the presidency has responded to it. It reminds me very much of the Richard Nixon thing, or the Watergate burglary. And it was all about the cover-up. It wasn't even really about the substance of it so much. So is our long national nightmare over? That was what Gerald Ford said when he

pardoned Richard Nixon. But we moved on from a third-rate burglary to these pedophile billionaires. But here's the key thing that's been building up to for a long time. Ken Clippon, Einstein said that the issue of national security is going to block the Epstein files release. And I believe that is the case as well. Whether or not it is, I think it's very telling that this escape clause was incorporated into the bill. And it was incorporated in the bill. Massey knew it even addressed it when he put it in there.

He says, not the kind of national security that has anything to do with national defense or harm to the nation, but the self-serving kind that particularly, a system from the people by depriving them of information. And that is the key thing. You know, the guy who created this whole thing about national security, the national security state was Truman. And, of course, he also created the CIA, and he created the NSA by executive order. And so, you know, setting up the American Empire to be the world's policemen, to have the police action of the Korean War, to create the CIA, the NSA, and this whole thing of national security, that had nothing to do with the defense of the nation, but they've used

it to cover up everything that they do. With 89% of Americans in agreement that the Justice Department should release all information about Epstein, the image is clear. National security is more important than democracy. Take a look at Congress's long shot attempt to force the release. The seemingly innocuous word appears in the resolution. That one word is unclassified. And you've got to ask yourself, why would they say, well, we're going to release all the information that is unclassified? Why would any of this stuff folks be classified if they were telling us the truth that didn't involve Mossad and the CIA? There's also the fact that's just, if this is some other country's national security secrets, who cares? That's on them.

That's on them to keep their secret secret. If it's that important to them, should have done a better job. If this involves another country, release it. I don't care if it burns every last Israeli intelligence agent to the ground. If they have to abandon every operation they're running, that's not our business. They're not America. Congress cares. Congress cares because they're owned by the Israeli government. That was my comment on it was they aren't releasing this for national security issues. Did they say which nation's security? Yeah, that's right. Somehow the word unclassified made its way into the Epstein Files' Transparency Act. It is the wrong word, says Ken Klippenstein.

He said, no record. He's quoting from it. Okay, here's what it says. Here's the escape clause that's been why they're not going to release any information. Regardless of what happens with the investigations, that's just another way that they can do it. But it says in the document itself, no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.

And then it goes on to undermine all that. The bill says that if the Attorney General makes a determination that covered information may not be declassified and made available in a manner that protects the national security of the U.S., including methods or sources related to national security, the Attorney General shall release an unclassified summary for each of the redacted or with held classified information. In other words, the attorney general gets to decide what to release and how to characterize it.

And that's true whether this is an ongoing investigation, or she can just waive the, it's classified, if I release it, I'd have to kill you type of thing. This is the way Washington works, and this is, I think, the key takeaway from all of this. Massey even said, well, you have to put that in there. If you're going to get them to sign it, it's not something I would. would sit and say, let's put that in there. It's something that when you run the bill passed other colleagues and you say, can you sign this? In fact, we can get every Democrat to sign it? He says it's one of the things that we felt was necessary to put in there. So again,

the resolution consequently falls prey to the national security doctrine that is infecting every corner of American life. You know, national security folks, it's basically this whole national security mechanism, the CIA, the NSA, Maasad, MI5, MI6, also. That is what gave us the people like Epstein. They routinely run these honey traps, honeypot traps, to set somebody up and blackmail them. I mean, just take a look. Jared Kushner's father did that to his brother-in-law because they were going to testify against him. This is, he's not an intelligence.

I mean, this is just criminal, evil activity. But the evil activity that people like Jared Kushner's father did has been institutionalized by the intelligence agencies. Asked by independent journalist Michael Tracy about a similar carve-out for national defense information and other legislation in September, that was what Massey had said at that point in time. He said, yeah, we put that in. all the bills, because you've got to understand that no matter what happens, we're not going

to release any information that the national security creeps want to have secret. And so we know who the real government is, right, because you're not allowed to criticize them. We know who the real government is because you're not even allowed to say the name Voldemort, right? You shall not be named is the CIA, the NSA, the intelligence, agencies. So you will not do anything that reveals anything about them. And they always hide behind national security because they are national security. They are the power that is there. And it is infected everything. It is a cancer that is metastasized throughout our entire society. And when you

look at drugs and you look at sex and all the rest of this stuff, this has all been driven, not just the blackmailing stuff, but even the campaigns by the CIA to sell feminism and pornography and all that. It's coming from the usual people. They're always doing that. The 50-year-old Freedom of Information Act states that the federal government cannot withhold data from public merely because it's embarrassing. In a 2021 lawsuit still pending, Attorney Dan Novak sued for the Epstein records. The FBI rattled off a long list of information that says, that cannot disclose, which includes names that are under an implied assurance of confidentiality, names that are under express assurance of confidentiality, names who provided information,

names of third parties of investigative interest, names and identities of FBI special agents, and so forth, foreign government agency information under implied confidentiality, implied confidentiality. So it goes on. They have all these different categories. So you can't get anything of any importance for many of these people about any subject. So, of course, we're not going to see any Epstein documents because everything that we need to know about our government is prohibited from us knowing about from our government. Ken Clipson-Syne said the absurd lack of transparency by government is a big reason for the prevalence

of conspiracy theories. He doesn't mention the fact that it was the FBI that coined that term to keep you from looking at their lies about the Kennedy assassination. When the government is hiding something, people are naturally going to assume the worst. Well, I would look at it from a different aspect. You know, these things are conspiracy facts, most of them. Secondly, if you give these people the ability to operate in secret without any transparency, and you give them access to unlimited amounts of money and so forth, what do you think that's, given human nature,

what do you think that's going to do to people given time? What do you think it's going to do to institutions that are, are comprised of people. It's going to corrupt them. And since these things have been around now for like 60 years, 80 years, I guess, this is why the intelligence agencies are so thoroughly and completely corrupted. They have been moving in this awful direction for the longest amount of time. You give them the power to hide from public scrutiny. You give them access to unlimited amounts of power and money. You tell them they can do anything. They can kill anybody that they wish, and nobody can talk about it.

Well, what do you think you're going to wind up with? That, folks, is the real essence of this story. The rest of the stuff, whether people wake up to what Trump really is, whether or not they do some kind of a document dump, there's not going to be any smoking guns, any of that stuff. All of it will be sanitized one way or the other. But the reality is to see who it is that's doing this and the nature of what our true government really is. In 1991, Congress passed a law that gave up its power to oversee things relating to national security. Very interesting. We had an oversight committee that was founded in 1927 for the purpose of overseeing the executive branch.

But then in 1991, they said, we don't want to have that responsibility anymore. We don't want to look. We don't want to be responsible for letting this thing go through. commonly cited statutory restrictions on oversight things have changed around here today at done deal we believe car buying should be exciting not exhausting and that's exactly what you'll find with done deal cars thousands of vehicles from Ireland's most trusted dealerships

all in one place backed by our certified trusted dealer program so you can buy with ease confidence and complete peace of mind done deal cars trusted dealers exceptional choice because buying a car should feel this good. Search now on Dundeele.I.E. Relate to foreign intelligence activities. We have our own star chamber, the FISA Court. Though Congress has generally interpreted,

executive privilege very narrowly, national security is the big exception to that. It's as if Trump or any president, for that matter, has a panic button that is labeled national security. Pam Bondi explained back in March why the Epstein files will be released, asked by Fox News host, Sean Hannity. If anything besides victims' information might need to be redacted, she replied, well, of course, national security. Again, if Alex Acosta in his initial hearings where they were interviewing him for Labor Secretary, why did you give him such a sweetheart deal?

Well, I was told to lay off of him because he was with the intelligence agencies. he's now in subsequent testimony he has now completely reversed himself so under oath talking to congress Alex Acosta lied either then or now and of course they're not going to do anything to come after him James Clapper lied to Congress as well they never came after him but the reality is is that this is really he was telling the truth the first time this really is about the spy agencies, which is not about national security, except for the extent that it is the government keeping itself secure. It's not about protecting you and me.

It's not about keeping us out of war. It's about putting us into wars. As a matter of fact, this huge scandal that is broken in Ukraine. And guess what? Mike Pompeii is now going to be an advisor to the company that's at the heart of that Ukrainian scandal. he's like a dick cheney right he's going to get right in there and be an advisor to them i guess since he bragged about the fact he said when i was at west point we were told we don't lie cheat or steal and we don't tolerate people who do but he said when i went to the cia we had classes on all

those things and the thing that amazed me about all that was that uh i don't think that's a funny joke it is uh it is actually what is happening but the people at texas a n m a conservative university, if ever there was one, laughed and applauded with that. And I always think, shame on those people for laughing and applauding for that. But I guess that's what his role is going to be there in Ukraine. He's going to teach them how to lie, steal, and cheat. Maybe you'll also teach them how to do assassinations and coups, because that's the reason that we have the Ukrainian government that's there in the first place.

But this is why this is important. You know, the depravity of the elites. And the fact that they can do it with immunity, that is important. People need to understand that. But I understand that the most elite of the elite are the intelligence agencies like Mossad and the CIA, that they are the ones who control the government more so than the president. The president will basically humiliate himself in public in order to please Mossad and the CIA. That's what the takeaway, I think, from this whole Epstein episode is, is it just shows you that, you know, the figurehead of the president and who the real government is.

And the real government is pure evil. And, of course, you can't talk about them and you're not allowed to see what they are doing. And that's the bottom line. Well, we're going to take a break. Travis, give us the comments here. All right. pulling them up right now let's see what we got they're coming in as I speak we're a bit a bit of a system now yeah let me let me start with it then we'll see we got marky mark

thank you for the tip he said the phrase methods and sources enables all sorts of mischief all sorts of cover-ups yeah isn't that interesting you know they use these vague terms and that is just like a you know a loophole that you can drive an 18 wheeler through even if you can't English, right? Plasma stream. Thank you for the tip. He said, I expected nothing from them in regards to the Epstein files, but I will accept the free nails to hammer the MIGA's coffin on the

public square and in conversation. That's right. And again, that was MIGA, M-I-G-A, makes Israel great again. That's right. Got to be careful when you're saying those words. Defy Tirent 1776. Anybody else think Trump didn't look? or sound well well he hasn't looked or sounded well my entire life so it's kind of hard to say

well somebody actually called him out on his raspy voice i've got a clip about this here president i have a question about that as well but can i just first ask that help the president's always news your voice sounds a little rough are you feeling our head i feel great i was shouting at people because uh they were stupid about something having to do with uh trade in a country and i straightened it out but i blew my stack at these people Well, it sounds like there's a follow. Yeah, so it's just, you know, it's just the yelling at people. That's nothing to see.

Just move on. Hey, Piggy. That'll do Piggy. Go ahead. Miss Piggy. We have a Supra charger. I saw a Toyota Supra on the road the other day, actually. There's not many of them left around.

Too many people wrapped them around telephone poles and things. It was exciting to see it. exciting to see it. Superchargers says the Tates and Myron Gaines are leading beat down men into evil and vice. We need to find better male role models for them. That's the whole point. I mean, you know, why make these people role models? You know, that's our question, right? You know, I understand why Trump likes them. He's one of them. He's just like them. But that's the question. They are undermining our society in a very evil way. And, um, it's all again i understand the blowback and that's always the danger you know when uh when we look at

and i would say you know even when you look at uh trump's vengeance tour here right there was a lot of unjustified lawfare that was done against him and um on the one hand i've said in the past that was what got him elected so he ought to thank some of these people uh and the money that he spent that he's going to give him, write himself a check, he said, for over $200 million for his legal fees. And he's not going to do anything for the J6 people. But that money, I'd just consider that to be campaign expenses, because they really put him in office as part of a blowback. But there's a right way to handle it and a wrong way to handle it. And to destroy the rule of law, to set up precedence that I'm going to bring me the man and I'll find the crime, that is the wrong way to

handle it. And so, you know, we look at the Tate brothers and they are out there as a pushback against feminism. And I don't use the adjectives of first third, first, second or third wave. I don't care. There isn't any feminism that is good. Being feminine is good, but not feminism. And so the push back against that, there's other ways that we need to push back against it. And we need to be wise about how we oppose these things. And we need to always have in mind, what the goal is, not just to get even, but we have to have a mindset of how we would like to change things for the better. And we're going to talk about that. We're talking about insurance coming up here in a second. Yeah. It's also important to remember just

Andrew Tate has a lot of money. He's got a lot of cars. He's got everything that the world prizes. All this world reveres and worse to own, as the song says, right? And any person with an ounce of common sense would look at his life and say, I would never want that. Any person should be able to look at that and say, not for me, thank you. He is just so obviously empty and trying desperately to fill a void with, whether it's social media attention or sex or drugs or anything. He is desperate and it's obvious.

Yeah, there was an interesting background for him. men look at that and say, that's what I need. That's what I need. If only I had his Bugatti or if only I had all these women throwing themselves at me, I'd be satisfied. You won't. You won't. It's obviously not working for him because he's still trying. He's still striving. He's still on social media desperate for attention. Yeah. He's still empty. You need Christ. Yeah, that's right. There was interesting take from a woman who didn't have any real solution for it. She's 87 years old and she's an author. She came after Musk responded to a tweet and her response to him went viral. It got like 12,000 retweets or something like that. And she said, look at this guy and he's got all this money

in the world, but he doesn't seem to enjoy anything in life. He doesn't pause and look at anything that is beautiful. He doesn't relax. And you could say that about pretty much all of these billionaires. And he could certainly say it about somebody like Andrew Tate, but constantly, they're like a shark, they're constantly eating, right, constantly looking for new prey. And they can't just be content to sit on the beach because if they did that, the shark would die. And so she, she said that and it really got under his skin, but it was really true. She said, you know, very simple people out there can enjoy the beauty and their life and they can enjoy persons that they're around and that type of thing. And then she criticized him for not embracing the transgender

aspect of one of his children. So it's like, okay, well, I know where she's coming from. This is somebody who does not have a base of understanding. She can't even understand what reality is. But, you know, we can look at this and we can see the billionaires and so many of these influencers and just how empty their life can be because of what they're chasing. And I think that we need to always keep that in mind. Marky Mark, thank you for the tip. He said, Elon is a biblical name. Remember Elon the Hittite from Genesis? Well, is that where, Elon is Muscus Ramazia Hittite?

I don't know. Yeah, it's interesting, you know, you talk about the Hittites. That was before evolution, the big higher criticism of the Bible was it talks about all these different nations and tribes and civilizations. We have no record of them existing. And Hittites were like Exhibit A. Whoever heard of the Hittites except in the Bible? They don't exist anymore in the Bible.

Then when they started doing biblical archaeology, They found a wealth of archaeological evidence of the Hittite society. And that's the way it typically goes. But we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. Whoops. Hang on a second. There we are. We're going to be able to be.

You're listening to the David Knight Show. If you like the Eagles, on a dark desert highway, the cars, and Huey Lewis in the news, they'll love the classic hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSRadio.com. Yes, welcome back.

And Travis, you said, we got a couple of tips that we missed that were there. We want to thank the people for that. Yes, I want to thank Marky Mark in New Jersey. This is the phrase, methods and sources. We had that one. Yeah. Oh, we did? Yeah, we did.

I must have missed when that got covered. Yes, but I agree with him. That is a giant loophole. All right. I think, I don't think we covered plasma stream, but just in case. I expected nothing from them in regards to the Epstein files, but I will accept. No, you covered that one as well. You covered them all, and I'm just so used to reading them myself.

Well, that'll do pig. Just be quiet, pig. It wasn't just in that interchange. But Trump is getting especially touchy. You know, he's always been temperamental. He's always had temperament issues. But ABC's Mary Bruce hit him in the Oval Office with a couple of tough questions. Here's what she had to say.

Mr. President, is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while your president, Is that a conflict of interest? And, Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why does the Americans trust you? Who are you with? I'm with ABC News, sir. You with who?

ABC News, sir. Fake news. ABC fake news. One of the worst. One of the worst. So it doesn't have to answer it. I'll answer you a question. Thank you. I have nothing to do with a family business.

I have left, and when I've devoted 100% of my energy, what my family does is, fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually. I'm sure they could do a lot. And anything they've done has been very good. That's what we've done. We've built a tremendous business for a long time. I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful. And I've made America more successful by far than it ever was. America's looking like a casino. It could have been no matter who was president. There would be nobody bringing in $21 trillion, that I can tell you right now. As far as this

gentleman is concerned he's done a phenomenal job you're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial a lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about whether you like him or didn't like him things happened but he knew nothing about things happen we can leave it at that you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that it was just you ask him to answer you know I feel painful about you know families of 90 live in in America but you know we have to focus on reality. Reality based in CIA documents and based on

documents that Osama bin Laden he used Saudi people in that event for one main purpose is to destroy this relation, to destroy the American-Sadi relation. So they're the victims of this. Whoever buying that, that means they are

helping Osama bin Laden purpose of destroying this relation. He knows that strong relation between America and Saudi Arabia is bad for extremism. It's bad for terrorism. And we have to approve him wrong and to build our relation, to continue developing our relationship, it's critical in the safety of the world, it's a critical against extremism and terrorism. About the jurors, it's really painful to hear, you know, anyone that's been losing his

life for, you know, no real purpose or not in a legal way, and it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We've did all the right steps of investigation, et cetera, in Saudi Arabia. Arabia and we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that and it's painful and it's a huge mistake and we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again. All lies. First of all, we murdered a reporter. That was a terrible mistake. We've got systems in place to prevent us from murdering reporters on accident. Yeah, we accidentally chopped him up in little pieces over an extended period of time, whether he's alive at the time or not, we don't know. But Trump's reaction sounded like a mafia don, didn't it? You know, well, hey, you know,

a lot of people didn't like him, but, you know, things happen, you know, things happen. And then the Saudi guy, you realize that Tim Osman, the CIA operative, you know, he was really doing this and using Saudi people because he wanted to hurt the relationship between Saudi Arabia and America. That was his real goal in all of that. even though he didn't do it, even though it was an inside job of our own government. His real issue, he wanted to destroy tourism in Saudi Arabia. He wanted to destroy that relationship between America and the Saudis. Isn't that an amazing explanation for 9-11?

I'd never heard that one before. Trump's thing sounding like a mafia done. First, it's no conflict of interest if my children are, you know, profiting off this because I'm not involved in the family business anymore. So therefore, even if my children are profiting off it, he doesn't see that as a conflict of interest. Well, it's just like what Biden did with Hunter. Come on, it's the same exact thing.

You know, he's the big guy. And they're trading on his influence with these deals that they have. And so one person said, thank you to Mary Bruce for giving it to that child rapist. So let's not sanitize what he has done. He finds a sick, twisted pleasure. and defiling and ripping apart the innocence of a child and much respect to her for calling him out on what is yet another terrorist that he brings in and honors the one that he had

last week was the guy who was always with al-Qaeda and ISIS and al-Nusra and the guy that our criminal government the CIA helped in the Pentagon put in power they gave him air support and everything else to put him in power. And now that head chopper there is coming after Christians and Aloites and a lot of different minority groups. So Trump says to Mary Bruce, you're a terrible person. That would be a compliment coming from somebody like him and somebody like this terrorist. He keeps bringing in these terrorists there.

Trump dismisses the murder while praising the clown prince. says the New York Times. Trump brushed off the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents saying, you know, things happen. Fighter jets and investment deals were on the agenda for today. And it's not just Trump, but there's also the Trump media that is blowing it off as well. Trump strongly defended Prince Mohammed, who U.S. intelligence has said ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist who was killed by Saudi agents. Trump closed his remarks by thinking the Saudi clown prints

for his earlier commitment to invest a trillion dollars. And that, folks, is, by the way, is absurd. You know, it's just like the ridiculous amounts that have been pledged by the EU. There's no way that they're ever going to make those kinds of investments. It's too much in terms of their gross domestic They don't have that much money. The clown prince said, no one speaks better than the president.

He hailed the U.S. Saudi relationship. He said, we believe the opportunities are huge. Ended his short remarks by saying that betting sites had placed bids on what he might be wearing. I guess I'm going to bid that he's going to be wearing a white sheet. What do you think? What's your bet, Lance? He always wears a lot of it.

same outfit everywhere is it uh you know has he got a different um uh thing that holds a sheet on his head is that does he change that from day to day um maybe he's got some colored underwear or something i don't know the pattern of the picnic blanket he wears on his head is going to change yeah uh trump just announced that he was elevating saudi arabia to the role of a major non-nato ally meaning the kingdom and the u.s have agreed to work closely together a military and economic initiatives no what it means is that they're going to sell them some fighter jets And that's all that that means. It's just for the military industrial complex.

Also there was Apple chief executive Tim Cook and NVIDIA's chief executive, Jensen Huang. They sniff a lot of money that could come around there. But certainly, the key thing is that he doesn't have the trillion dollars to invest in the country. He's talking about a trillion dollar investment, but that is the size of Saturday. Arabia's entire annual gross domestic product. They're not going to invest that much. It's just like the meaningless pledges from Ursula fond of lying about the kind of investment that the EU was going to make in the U.S.

when they were talking about tariffs. These people throw these numbers out. Trump loves it. He parrots these things out. And somebody will go back and say, how big is that compared to their income, their annual income? And when you look at it and you realize that there's no. no way that they're going to make that kind of an investment, nobody pays attention to it.

That should literally be the first thing. Yeah. Anyone does. Anyone with even a shred of common sense should look at these numbers and go, well, what's the entire country's GDP? What's their total export and realize this is an impossibly high number? They're not going to commit this percentage of their entire GDP to one thing. That's right.

It's just ridiculous and absurd. So it's just lies and BS that we're being fed. And by the way, if you want to get upset about Khashoggi's murder, yeah, you know, one murder is a tragedy, but a million people being killed by a vaccine that he, that Trump cheers, or even if you just look at the direct kinetic murders, you know, the bombings, he's got 70 some odd people that he's killed, and one of them, for sure, a fisherman that was not doing any drugs. so Trump has killed far more people and so I guess you know it's not a big deal for him to host other terrorists since he is a terrorist as well because he killed them for political reasons right and to strike fear so I said Muhammad said that he's in discussions about contributing Saudi money to reconstruction efforts in Gaza he said it'll be a lot Trump interjected although the clown prince did not confirm the prince is not keen to get involved in reconstructing or policing Gaza at a time when his financial capital is limited and he is largely focused on his domestic economic priorities unlike Trump right in other words you can say at least this guy is focused on domestic economic priorities not Trump he's out there doing everything

he's now wants to be the leader of the world and that is his aspiration and it's where his ego has led him and he really doesn't care about what happens with America. Trump spends a lot of time denigrating the press but the vitriol that he's displaying in front of a diplomatic guest says the New York Times is stunning. He lashed out at the reporter's question calling her a terrible person and saying that ABC News's broadcasting license should be revoked. So Again, Trump spent some time trying to get the prince to say that he's been the best president for the Saudi-Arabian-U.S. relationship, but the terrorist demurred. He praised FDR and Ronald Reagan, but not Trump so much. Since Trump's election a year ago, Dar Global, a business partner of the Trump organization that he has close ties to the Saudi government,

has announced at least four Trump-branded developments in Saudi Arabia. The Trump organization has also in negotiations that could bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia's largest government-owned real estate developments overseen by Prince Muhammad himself. So again, this kind of crony corruption, crony capitalism, and it has nothing to do with Trump. It's all just his kids that are out there. And, you know, his being president opens the door as we've, talked about before the crypto stuff, everybody says, well, yeah, I wouldn't be talking to them

if it wasn't for that connection, just like with Hunter Biden. And so it's, you know, he says that this guy knew nothing about the murder of Khashoggi, but, you know, hey, a lot of people didn't like him. Yeah, things happen, you know. So the CIA said in 2021, they assessed that Saudi agents in Istanbul acted on the orders of Mohammed bin Salman when they killed and dismembered Khashoggi in 2018

who had written critically of the Saudi royal family and so if you're a reporter who criticizes that for the right now the only thing that happens is Trump barates you verbally but he is he would like to do the same thing himself

quite frankly a lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about but things happen. And so I think it's a very interesting. He had jets that were flying over, and he brought him into the more elaborate side of the White House. Here's what it looked like. This is how we honor terrorists, you know, because he's going to be buying a lot of jet planes, so we'll fly some of them over there. And we'll have that other terrorist that we put into office with our coup and Syria. we will bring him in on Veterans Day

as a slap in the face to our own military. Truly is amazing, isn't it? What does it take? What does it take for people to figure out where this guy is coming from? Well, the way this was all represented again, as we talk about it, it was epic when he calls a reporter,

shut up pig. That was the take from InfoWars. And the take from InfoWars is MAGA economy win. Look at this. He's going to give us a trillion dollars. And it's like, yeah, they're going to pass these lies onto you. If Trump cheers terrorists and if he's selling economic BS to the crowd, then InfoWars will cheer the terrorist and sell economic BS to the crowd as well. Truly is amazing to watch this corruption.

Well, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to take a look at the insurance. stuff about Obamacare. This big, that's the heart of this big fight that shut down the government was what's going to happen with insurance. And so we're going to take a look at what the Republicans are talking about doing when we come back. We're going to take a quick break.

Well, actually, why don't you do the comments there, Travis, before we go? All right. I'm just waiting for them to come in right now. That is the one issue with the system we have at the moment. Lance is sending them over. Again, Travis is in. Austin. then he'll be back on Monday.

That's right. Be back Monday and very excited to be back. Well, I've got some one here. I'm Marty. He says, in other words, Massey admits he had to allow a poison pill in the bill to get it passed, another shot in the foot. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. That's right.

If you're in Washington, you have to apparently make concessions and do deals with the worst people on the planet. Yeah, I would never be interested in being a congressman. because they can shut you down with parliamentary procedure and all right. They can put a gag on you where you can't even talk, let alone pass a bill where you think you're going to get something to happen. All of the government is secret. All of it is run by this evil cabal that we call generally national intelligence. And it's primarily the CIA.

A lot of times I just use that as shorthand, but it's all these different intelligence agencies. A lot of them, military. And, of course, the intelligence agencies are not monolithic. some of them have a right-wing agenda. Some of them have a left-wing agenda. The CIA is predominantly left-wing. The military intelligence agency is the other way. But you can't get anything done. Nothing is going to happen until the government in Washington collapses. And it's going to be difficult to go through, but it can't happen soon enough as far as I'm concerned. It will happen. We've got Nibiru 2029. It says safety and security equals the most heretical terms in the world. It's for your safety. Yeah, that's right. It's for your safety, so you have to go along with it. It's for your safety, or it's for the kids' safety.

They love saying it's for the safety of children as they're trying to prey upon them or mutilate them. Or just flat out murder as many children as they can through abortion. That's right. And those are the comments that I have. Okay, we've got another one here from Niburu, 2029 back in the mid-90s, while his good buddy Clinton was in office. Trump announced, if he ever ran for president, he would run as a republic. to make sure that he could get selected yeah and a couple more here was the piggy reference from the lord of the flies yeah that's a good question right there that's from plasma stream

also writes uh or was it lord of the flies was it from it or was it actually the thing yeah piggy kind of remember that all right we're going to take a quick break folks we'll be right of you to assume trump reads yeah i don't think he does Thank you. I'm going to be able to do. I'm going to be. You know, I'm going to be able to be.

I'm going to be. Making sense common again. Making sense common again. The David Knight Show. Whether you're feeling like the blues or blue grass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSRadio.com. Well, we've been spending almost two hours talking about what's wrong with America,

especially in Washington, but also the different currents that, have taken over our society, different role models that we have there. I think this was an interesting story that's gone viral. This is a FedEx driver who dropped everything to go back and help a grieving woman. Her name is Amanda Riggin. She works hard as a FedEx driver, and she also runs a mission that she calls hungry heroes to encourage others and to thank local heroes by making them food according to its website. And here's what happened.

She describes it one day. go ahead and run that clip lynx hey everyone as you can tell them at work i just had to pull over and share something real quick um as i'm delivering uh i pull up to this house the lady walks out because she's checking her her mailbox for her newspaper and i have two boxes for her so we start walking up the driveway together and she asked me if i had a happy holidays and i was telling her how busy it was i told her i had a really great uh christmas in new years and i asked her the same i was like how was your holidays and with tears in her eyes she said it wasn't good and um she said he's sick my husband's sick he has cancer i continued a small talk to try to change a subject because that's awkward and i deliver

her package she said what's your name i said amanda and she told me her name i drove off um my heart's pounding i do probably 20 more stops and I have to go back. You know, with this kind of job, we're on a tight schedule. The quicker you do it, the better, quicker you get home. I saw what I was doing. I went back to that neighborhood and rang her doorbell. And asked her, she came down the stairs.

And she had tears in her eyes when she saw it was me. She smiled. And I said, ma'am, can I pray with you? And she just broke down. She came out on the front porch and squeezed me so tight. This lady I've never met. She held my hands so tight, and I prayed for her and her family and for her husband. And the point of this is, is a lot of people want the Lord to use them.

And for me as an example, I pray every day for the Lord to use me. But when he's trying to use you or when you feel that call and that tug on your heartstrings, do you move your feet do you move because i easily could have just went i have a hundred stops i easily could have just went about the rest of my day thinking about it so when you feel those tugs on your on your heartstrings and you feel like you need to do this stop and do it you know what i mean um oh man that was like the most genuine hug i have received in a long time and i just want to share that with you guys if you if you're praying for the Lord to help and to use you in people's situations when he is giving you a chance do it if not you're going to you're going to

continue to think about it and think about it and regret it like so be sure you know what you're praying for when you're praying I don't know I just it made me sad but yet it made my day to this lady was just so alone but anyway you guys have a good day So I want to play that because, you know, we look at what is it that we can do? We can transcend all this evil in government, Washington especially. We can't transcend it. And we can do that with just simple tasks that are one-on-one. And that's the only way that we will ever transcend that evil.

And so I think that is the important thing. You know, we look at this national debate and, you know, the problems come down. The rot comes from the head down, doesn't it? But the solutions are not going to be there. And it's something that, you know, each and every one of us needs to be able to do. You know, first we establish our relationship with God, as she was talking about, listening to God's leading and then taking action. And there's things that we can do at the individual level.

That's why, you know, politics, you want to keep your head up. You want to look and see what is coming and see the different directions, the types of attacks that are coming. but politics is not going to protect anybody. A good example of that again is this big battle of releasing the information, which isn't going to get released anyway. But we can transcend that evil, and we have to do it at the local level. Gavin Newsom maybe is becoming a Christian nationalist, right?

Well, that's kind of sarcasm, but he made a speech at a press conference two weeks back. And again, he was chiding Trump and, you know, blaming him for the shutdown, which is being done by the Democrats for the insurance issue. And, you know, we'll take a look at that before we run out of time here. I hope I'll move this on quickly. But he said, I spent a little time at a wonderful Jesuit university. If there's anything I remember about my four years with Father Cause is that the New Testament, Old Testament, have one thing dominantly in common. it's about food and serving those who are hungry did you realize that i guess that's the jesuit take on the old new testament sum it up um no we should help people you know we should uh meet them

where their need is but it's about much more than that and uh so you said uh it's not a suggestion yeah it says bread of heaven it's all about food it's uh it's not about suggestion in the old and new Testament, its core, it's central as to what it is to align to God's will, period, for full stop, he said. This is the guy who more than anybody else has pushed this abomination of same-sex mirage on people. He was doing it as mayor of San Francisco in defiance of the law and in defiance of then-governor Schwarzenegger at the time. He was marrying people who were same-sex, defying God's law as well. He said, these guys need to stop the BS in Washington.

They're sitting there in their prayer breakfasts. Maybe they've got an edited version of Trump's Bible, and they edited out all that stuff. Cruelty is the policy, he said. And so for many years, writes this person on Christian Post, the left have anxiously warned about the rise of Christian nationalism as an extreme threat to our republic. The problem with Christian nationalism isn't with Christian participation in politics, but rather with a belief that there should be Christian primacy in politics and the law, said David French in the New York Times. But, you know, the reality is, is that, as I said to many times, politics is really downstream of religion. It's people who are secular, who are humanists, people who are people like Gavin Newsom,

they will be exercising their religion, even if they are secularist and atheists. politics advocating for a particular policy outcome based on their own faith are no longer in vogue with most Democrats who are increasingly secular, except that they do have a religion. They do have a worldview. And that's what we're talking about when we talk about Christianity being the foundation of America. And it's what I talk about when I think of Christian nationalism. It's a people that embraces those values, that embrace those worldviews, the problem

is, is that people like Gavin Newsom and the Democrats, they have faith. They have unwavering faith in government. And they want to treat government as if it were God. But I want to get to this insurance thing before we bring on our guest real quickly. You know, we've had Trump talk about the fact that they're going to fix Obamacare. And we're going to give the money to the people. Well, what exactly is the plan that we're supposed to trust? They're very cagey about that. And, you know, when we talk about false narratives and this is one of the best examples of it, health care premiums have been skyrocketing for 22 million Americans.

You know, it seems to always happen when the government decides it's going to help somebody. We saw this happen with college tuition. The more the government got involved, the more the government subsidized college tuition to make it affordable. the more expensive it became. And the same thing is happening now with insurance. So Trump's pushed to send the federal assistance directly to consumers rather than health insurers. But guess what? They don't have any details.

There is no plan. You want to get the government out of health care. It's really what you want to have. It's in there too much, and that's what's driving the costs up. And Obamacare has failed exactly as people said it would. But they use that always. failure is used as an excuse to increase more government. So they're looking at price increases and they're looking at the price increases and

saying, well, now we need to go up on the subsidies as well. Now, just consider this. Enacted by the Biden administration in 2021, they enhanced the premium subsidies that made Obamacare policies more affordable. And they're saying, if you remove those Biden enhanced subsidies, people are going to see their premiums go up 114% on average. Well, that's just, in other words, their response is once their policies make the prices go up because they have subsidized it, actually made it more than doubles, it's 114%.

So after they subsidize it and make the prices go up, their answer is, well, now we need more subsidies rather than saying we made a mistake the first time around. But consider this, a 60-year-old couple with an income of 85,000. $20,000, could have to pay $20,000 more annually for coverage. I don't know, they don't say what the total cost is, but they're talking about, that's about, you know, $1,500 or so more each month if they don't have those subsidies. And so this was the fight that shut down the government. And guess what?

Neither party has an answer to this. This is the true result of Obamacare, the fact that it more than doubled the cost in a decade. The Democrats' answer is, well, let's double down with the subsidies then, and the Republicans don't have a plan to reform anything. Two senators, Republicans, have jumped on Trump's declaration, sketching out different ways of shifting federal funds to consumers. Both of these senators, Rick Scott and Florida, and Bill Cassidy, the guy who has become the vaccine cheerleader in Congress, neither of them, because they both had a lot, of involvement in the medical business, I should say.

And it was, they really don't have a plan to start with. In other words, the Trump administration, in spite of all the BS that Trump has put out there, well, we're going to give money to people. He hasn't put forward a plan. There's been two plans that have been put forward by two senators, Rick Scott, and they're very sketchy. They don't have any details, just a general idea of what they would like to do. Trump doesn't even have that much of a general idea.

So Rick Scott said, we need to have some kind of health savings account-style accounts to be able to buy health care that people want. He has not provided any details about his legislation. His proposal does not seek to repeal Obamacare, but he wants to fix it. Let me just say when he says fix it, that doesn't mean repair. That means cement it in place. Keep this thing. And that's really what they're talking about.

And then you look at Bill Cassidy at Louisiana. He said that they would direct the funds that would have to be spent on the enhanced subsidies into flexible spending accounts the policyholders could use to shop. Well, where's the information? Where is the competition? None of that stuff is there. We empower patients to go find the best deal for their dollar that drives competition that lowers costs, said Cassidy.

But he would retain Obamacare. Again, that's going to be the key thing. It's always a ratcheting effect. isn't it? You know, why won't they, again, like I said before, one of the things that they could do in terms of affordability, let us keep the money and spend the money first before we send you the taxes. So make it fully tax deductible, or better yet, make it a tax credit. You do that for education as well. The complex U.S. health care system is not designed for patients to shop for services, says this article. Consolidation in the industry has decreased competition. Where does that consolidation come from? You know, really, just as we were talking yesterday to John Richardson, the FDA is anti-competition. They shut down any different approach, any novel approach, anything that is natural, anything that is affordable. The FDA is there to shut it down to criminalize that.

And while these guys like Cassidy do everything they can to push Big Pharma solutions, quote unquote, giving consumers more control, funds could actually put upward pressure on health care prices, as the Cato Institute, since they'll have more money to spend on services. That folks is exactly the mechanism of what caused college tuition to go up. You give the students more money with subsidies with this stuff, and all of a sudden now the colleges realize that, and so they raise their prices. And there's more money out there, so we'll charge you more. And this is why when the government subsidizes something the cost always goes up and so they don't have a solution to the health care issue this is they shut the government down and again you know they created some uh problems for people who are

dependent on the government dependent on the government for air traffic control dependent on the government some of the people because they need to have the food the government wants that control you know as they talk about the coming Thanksgiving holiday Sean Duffy says all that's it you know we're now open again, but we still have a shortage of people and so forth and so on. They're not going to fix the fundamental problem of that. They're not going to fix the fundamental problem of so many people being on welfare because the government wants to have you dependent on them. And they're not going to fix the issues with health care either. This whole shutdown was just a, again, it was just the government playing their partisan games with each other. But we're going to take a quick break

and we're going to bring back our guest. Oh, wait a second. We had the, he's, he had a doctor's point. Okay. We had our guests canceled on us. So, Dr. Shiva Ayadou, Ray, we'll get him back on another time. I wanted to talk to him because he's going to be running for Congress. And I do.

I like, not so much. I mean, he runs for Congress and he's running for Senate, I should say. He ran for president as well. I like what he does because he uses that to get attention. and then he sells people a grassroots solution. And that's really what I want to talk to him about. I like that approach that he takes. As I talk about Thanksgiving,

this article here from study finds is telling us that Thanksgiving is going to cost the average American up to $1,000. It's like, what? I don't see how that could possibly be the case. But, you know, it is interesting. when we look at what has happened with food, we complain all the time about, and of course, this is not just the cost of the food.

They've included a lot of different things in this cost. But when you look at a turkey, for example, I remember we used to listen to old time radio a lot with the kids when we'd be traveling in the car, taking a trip, because actually I liked the characterization of the voices. They had some people, had really, really good voices. And it was interesting to go back and get a glimpse into what society was like, let's say in the 40s or something like that. as well as it wasn't anything that you had to worry about the kids hearing.

And there's one episode, I don't know if you remember in Atlanta's where they were going on and on about a turkey. It was such a big deal because the turkey was like, you know, $50, $60 at the time. And when you go back and you look at that, something that's $50 or $60 back in the 40s, that is really expensive. And adjusted for inflation to today's dollars, it's insane. but it is we see that turkeys have become extremely cheap and of course it's because of the mass production tactics that they've done which is exactly what we're talking about yesterday the convenience foods that are there but it's also making the food cheaper and as they make it cheaper a lot of these techniques that they would do for mass production are really making the

food very unsafe and so that's one aspect of it it's not a thousand dollars for the food if it kept up with inflation, that might have been the case. But the average person will spend $952 on food, drinks, decorations, travel, and miscellaneous expenses. Never seen travel added before you. And every year, they will go in at holiday times, like Fourth of July, barbecue or something, and they'll total up groceries that people have as part of that meal for that holiday. Well, that's only a small portion of this. What they said was that food would cost $175.

per household. Another 110 going towards beverages, by that I think they're meaning alcohol to be that expensive. Eighty-three dollars on holiday decorations. Miscellaneous expenses like replacing a broken appliance. Are you kidding me? I mean, this headline of $1,000 for Thanksgiving dinner is really a clickbait. Buying a new outfit for Thanksgiving. Another $291 and travel expenses for $293. So again, this is not looking at the cost of turkey, even though the pictures throughout the article are turkeys stuffed with dollar bills. Part of the reason the price tag feels so high is that Thanksgiving is now morphed into a multi-day event. There's not just a full family get together, which 51% of the people do, but household only dinners and friends giving celebrations.

What nonsense. Thanksgiving is being erased. by Christmas as it consumes more and more of the year. Also, I completely forgot to buy my new Thanksgiving outfit this year. I need to get on that running out of time. Yeah, that's right. And speaking of nonsense, Cloud Fair, yet again, as we know yesterday, we had some issues. Some of our viewers had some issues.

X was down. Chat, GPT was down. Cloud Fair, interestingly, and, is actually there for protection against cyber threats. And I guess in the last couple of years, we've seen it shut down more websites than cyber threats have. They said that it was not a cyber attack, but it was an internal service degradation

that shut down all these different websites. I would just say that, you know, what we're seeing here as we concentrate and complicate our infrastructure, that concentration and complication, equals inshittification. Which is what Cory Dr. Rowe calls this. As everything becomes more, yeah? Another thing about Cloudflare is it's also another line of attack for certain groups.

If they can get your website removed from Cloudflare, it leaves you basically unprotected. You then have to do all the cybersecurity yourself, and it is incredibly difficult. So Cloudflare is not a good website. They have de-platformed people. They have gone after people. website. You know what I'm talking about. They're a service that you basically need to operate on the web and people can go to them and say, wow, you're platforming this kind of hate, this kind of rhetoric. Yeah, that's right. And then boom, you get knocked off Cloudflare

and then your life becomes infinitely more difficult when trying to exist online. I'm interested to see what alternatives there are to Cloudflare. I'm sure there's something because that's another big part of the problem is that it's all being consolidated so that if like that major outage that we had just a couple weeks ago was one server on Amazon's cloud service thing went down and that took out half the internet it seemed it was the amount of centralization of what was supposed to be a decentralized network the internet is pretty shocking yeah that's what I'm saying the centralization and the complications of our infrastructure is basically a real sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. And another one of these is AI again. We've now seen Google has pulled down their AI chatbot because it accused Marsha Blackburn of a crime and it had absolutely no basis for it. She said it's an act of defamation produced and distributed by a Google-owned AI model. This is Senator Marsha Blackburn from 10.

She'll probably be the next governor of Tennessee, and its AI model that they call Gemma falsely claimed that Blackburn had been accused of rape when asked if there was any such allegation against her. The AI's answer wasn't simply yes, but it created an entire fabricated story. You know, we saw this very early on with Jonathan Turley, and he wrote about it. And it had, as part of a bio, he looked it up and he asked for information about himself. And it said that he had been accused of sexual misconduct as he took, he's a law professor, as he took like a field trip or something with his students to Alaska. He said, first of all, I don't do that. Secondly, I've never been to Alaska.

Thirdly, nobody has ever accused me a sexual assault. Every detail about it was wrong, but it was. highly detailed. It imagined all of this stuff. And it's the same kind of stuff that you see from these large language models that you see when you're doing images. I mean, it's one of the things that makes the images interesting, you know, when you're doing video because it'll imagine a lot of interesting details that it would take you a while to put in. But, you know, it's one thing when you're doing that in art. It's another thing when you're talking about people's lives. What it did was said during her 1987 campaign for Tennessee state senator, a state trooper, quote, alleged that she pressured him to obtain prescription drugs for her and that the relationship involved non-consensual acts.

The compelling narrative would have been enough to fool somebody who wasn't familiar with AI's habit of hallucinating, but Blackburn claims that Gemma also generated fake links to made up news articles. to back it all up. And if you checked them, if you actually clicked on the links, they were all dead ends. They didn't exist. She said, this is not a harmless, quote unquote, hallucination, she said. It is an act of defamation, produced and distributed by Google-owned AI model. And she demanded that Google shut it down until you can control it. And since she has a very powerful senator, that's exactly what they did.

That's not going to happen with you and I, but they did it for her. they pulled the plug. They argued that the Chimma model was intended to be used by developers. It was never intended to be a consumer tool or a model. So they yanked it from AI Studio. Google also rebuffed Blackburn's claims that its AIs exhibited a pattern of bias against conservative figures by admitting to the far larger problem of hallucinations being inherent

to the large language model technology itself. What do you know about AI Studio, Landis? It's just a place where Google has a bunch of different AIs that you can try out. Is it really targeted to developers or is it out something's out there for the public? I mean, it's out there for the public. You just log on to it on any browser that is signed into a Gmail account, which is almost everyone. Yeah, so they're lying about that as well, right? It's restricted to only Gmail account holders.

Oh, there you go. If you've got a Gmail account, you're obviously a developer. And the other thing that we've seen from Google is that they were using AI to search people's emails. You know, if you've got a Gmail account, they'll use it to search that. So they want everybody to have a Gmail account. They'll entice you by saying, well, if you get that, you've got access to some of our AI art tools, but then they'll start searching all of your mail, email by AI. Her complaints prefigure enormous legal quagmires in the future, the seeds of which are

being planted as we speak. You know, this is another issue for AI and the financial aspect of it. Even if you don't use AI, you know, what's it going to happen when that AI bubble bursts? Well, this summer, a Minnesota solar firm sued Google for defamation after the search engines' giant notoriously shoddy AI overviews falsely claimed the business was being investigated by regulators and had been accused of deceptive business practices backing these claims. Again, with bogus citations. We've seen people use, lawyers who've used it to put together case briefs and it fabricates cases that don't exist and other things like that. So it comes after

people with bogus allegations and references, articles that don't exist, the rest of this. Reporting from the New York Times said that the suit is one of at least six defamation cases filed in the U.S. over content generated by AI models. And so we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at some more tech issues that are there. We've got a comment and a contribution from Mad Mims. Thank you very much. And it says, check email.

So I appreciate that. I will look it up. See if we can find that better. I'll have to do that after the show. and defy tyrants 1776 said dk baron trump is worth 150 million dollars he's made 50 million since his daddy took office nine months ago he's 19 years old how did he do that so fast i'm sure that has nothing to do with his daddy being president don't you think i mean this is not uh family influence that he's cashing in on at all i mean trump specifically said that he's

not involved in the family business that's just Barron Trump's business acumen as a 19-year-old genius. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. He just happened to be, you know, working with the same people that Trump has in the White House. And if you believe that, he's got something even better than a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. He's got a used casino that he could sell you as well. Jonathan has some comments. Yeah. Go ahead. You got some comments, Travis?

Let me check. In fact, I do. Okay. We've got this about Mohammed bin Salman, Nibiru. 2029, Caligula Trump constantly demonstrates his love for sleeping with the enemies of the United States. Yeah, that's our good friend, Mohamed bin Salman, done so much for the United States. I, for one, remember the time when I was broken down on the side of the highway and past me, drove a motorcade, and Mohamed bin Salman stopped and he hopped out and he changed my tire for me. He was a good guy. He's done so much for me personally. And I'm sure for all of you as

well. Assyrian girl. This is the most offensive thing in that interview was the smile on the air face when the murder was brought up to him. Just, uh-huh, yeah, that happened, didn't it? Yeah, you know, things happened, yeah. Sometimes you just have to chop a guy up and put his pieces into suitcases. I mean, that was such a mafia comment, wasn't it?

Oh, you know, things happened. I don't know what happened with this. It'd be a shame of something that would happen to some of you reporters, wouldn't it? It's a very nice outlet you got there. I'd hate to see anything happen to it. But, yeah. Habibi, my friend, my friend, Habibi, this is not the line of questioning you wish to pursue. Defy Tireant 1776?

Oh, that's the one you read about Baron Trump. Well, that's the comments we have right now. Yeah. So I'm going to say that Saudis are the fuel. Israelis are the propaganda wing. America is the muscle. Yeah, it is a, I guess we've got an accord. We've reached an accord on all that stuff.

We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. So, . Oh, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hoa

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. Well, welcome back. briefly yesterday, the fact that Reason Magazine has done several articles about and praise of driverless cars. And I think they've really lost the plot here. I mean, the key thing, they try to make it, they say, well, you know, we need to have more or not less driverless cars.

These things are so incredibly safe. The demand for self-driving services like Waymo grows, and so does the evidence of their safety. Well, I've not seen that evidence, as a matter of fact. And I would like, if you want to compare it to human drivers, pull out all the people who were drunk when they were driving. Those people are still going to be on the road, by the way, even if you've got self-driving cars, except that where we know this is going, and Eric Peters has talked about this forever. You know, as long as he and I have been talking, we've been talking about the crony capitalism of Elon Musk, and we've been talking about self-driving and what the real issue is with that. And as he pointed out, you know, we've got autopilot on planes, but in order for that to work, you've got to have the air traffic controllers keeping these planes way far away from each other.

And in the same way, you're going to have to have no human drivers. You can't have that human element there, especially intoxicated drivers or something like that. You can't have that if you're going to have the self-driving cars. They're going to have to be there on their own. They're going to have to have full situational awareness and control of each and everything, or it's not going to work. But the take that reason has here is that these are people who are just Luddites. The new Luddites want to pump the brakes on driverless cars.

With innovation comes those who fear it, they say. Now, here's the real issue. It's about freedom, not safety. And it really bothers me to see libertarians selling a false safety that is out there. The illusion of safety is always used. It's never, usually when you sacrifice your liberty, you're sacrificing it, as Benjamin Franklin said, for the promise of safety. Not for the reality of safety. And even if what you were giving it up for was safety initially, as I've said many times, if you become a slave,

and to the extent that you give up your liberty piece by piece, slicing off little bits of it, each time you slice off your liberty, you become more of a slave. And slaves are never safe. So you're never going to get that safety. But as Jefferson said, he prefers dangerous liberty to peaceful slavery.

And I prefer dangerous driving the car myself to the promise of peaceful safety by a self-driven car. The problem is, as I said many times, so many doctrinaire libertarians and libertarian or conservative think tanks think that business can do no wrong, government can do no right. And the liberals think that government can do no wrong and business can do nothing right. And what both of them miss is the fact that it is a uniparty, right, in the sense that business, big business and government have merged into a kind of, of fascist symbiotic relationship that is here. And they just completely miss the bigger picture. They said the reality is, yeah, go ahead.

Any group that fails to realize, you know, the nature of humanity, the fallen sin nature of humanity, will never understand why these things happen. That's right. Any system, no matter who makes it, it can be the most well-intentioned, the most thoughtful person on the planet. eventually they'll be dead or it will pass on to someone else who may not have those same intentions and since human nature is fallen it will fall as well everything built by human hands will

eventually corrode degrade decay and you have to continually fight and maintain these fight against the corruption to maintain these systems if you do not do that if you aren't continually striving to make the system better it will automatically get worse you can never you can never rest on your laurels. You can never sit here and say, we have built the perfect system. Our system of government is flawless. It works well. I'm checking out. If you want a good system, you have to sit there and continuously, sedulously, maintain it, monitor it, look at it and make sure that the people who are in charge are doing what they're supposed to be doing. Yeah. Because, as I said, human nature is fallen. You can't put it on autopilot like a waymo,

you know and the founders understood that as well they because they came at government from the understanding that we were creatures of God and that meant that we all had certain inalienable rights and by the way that's all persons not citizens you know we look at the different um um bill rights and other things like that due process that means anybody that's within the jurisdiction of the government needs to be treated as someone who is created by God in his image uh not just simply the citizens that are there. But they also understood, as you point out, as Madison said, because we're

not angels, we need to have government, but because the government's going to be consisting of human beings, we have to really keep an eye on them. Who watches the watchers type of thing. And as Jefferson point out, we have to constantly be reforming it. We're going to have to have more revolutions as it

gets off course. You constantly have to course correct it. It's not an autopilot thing. And just by producing a paper document, like the Constitution. It's not self-enforcing. And if we don't require these people to follow basic moral and ethical principles, we're going to have an immoral, unethical government, which is what we have. As they say here. The law of the land is always effectively whatever the people will tolerate. That's right. That's right. So they've got their statistics. In this article, they

try to make excuses for Waymo. They don't talk about the situations where they all went to one intersection and froze they don't talk about how they they drive so slowly that you could set an open cup of coffee on the dashboard and not have it spill they don't talk about the uh all those different aspects and how it freezes for example at a four-way stop because it doesn't it can't really figure out what the humans are going to do you know we can kind of glance over and we can kind of get a read on what somebody's going to do at a four-way stop but it is hesitant and it's so hesitant that just freezes and then the people behind it get outraged and they go zooming around it and that's when accidents happen that's what i say you're going to have to take the people out of the equation completely

otherwise it can't really navigate things like four-way stops and and it's going to cause rage uh with the driver this automaton cannot comprehend free will and as such cannot comprehend the human nature that's right so um you know when you look at this they're trying to walk back some kind of famous cases here. They had a cat that was run over by Waymo, and they said, well, it was just a bodega cat. It really didn't really belong to anybody. So it really wasn't very important. And they made a big deal of the fact that it hit one of these autonomous food delivery

things, that's a little R2D2 that was delivering food. More robot-on-robot violence. That's right. Sad to see. They got R2. So the reality is that human drivers are far more likely to be involved in harmful accidents than driverless vehicles are, says reason. And they give some statistics, which I seriously question. 91% fewer serious injuries, 92% fewer pedestrian crashes with injuries,

79% fewer crashes resulting in airbag deployment. Well, they haven't even put these things on the interstate. So that's a bogus reference there. I also have the question. Now, I'm assuming reason isn't being too dishonest. I'm assuming they've adjusted it for scale. They've looked at it and said, well, there's orders of magnitude, more human drivers. And as such, you are just going to have far more accidents there, as opposed to just putting in the raw numbers and going, look, you know, the autonomous vehicles have only had a few instances of accidents when, you know, there's only a few, who knows how many thousands, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of people driving every day.

So I'm, I assume there being at least. good faith with those numbers, right? Yeah. I've seen where they play games with these numbers is that they'll have all accidents attributed to the person that was hit by the car rather than say that the total number of accidents that they're involved in, but rather the number of accidents that they claim it caused when it's driving super cautiously and that amount of health. hesitation itself can cause an accident, even if they aren't legally liable.

Yeah, I think if you're going to do an apple-to-apple comparison, you need to look at how many accidents and injuries have people had when humans are driving golf carts. Compare that to these things, because that's the real apple-to-apple comparison. For example, one of the things that are talking about here is the delivery robot I mentioned, colliding with a robo-taxie at about four miles per hour. See, this is a big issue, but it also tells you how these things drive. It also tells you one of the reasons why they're not having that many accidents. Do you really want to have to drive around at four miles per hour?

You know, that is, and yet they say the slow approval of self-driving cars is costing lives. Yeah, that's right. It's corporate cheerleaders that are out there. Yeah, it's how many of these accidents was because of a way-mo car or was with a way-mo car. sort of the opposite of the games they paid with the COVID vaccine stuff. Yeah, it is very concerned. But the luxury electric vehicle, you know, they want to say, well, we need to have a marketplace, don't we?

Well, you know, the issue is, is that the marketplace, even though it is heavily, heavily subsidized, like the luxury electric vehicle, the marketplace is speaking, and Reason Magazine, the Libertarians, don't want to listen to the marketplace. You know, why shouldn't we be allowed to have the cars that we choose? Why should it be forced down our throats?

And this is an issue above and beyond the self-driving stuff. But I think that the self-driving thing was primarily at the beginning. It was a way for Elon Musk to add a razzle to the anodyne golf carts that he was selling and say, yeah, well, they're self-driving. It's the future and all the rest of this stuff. It's the future if the government controls all of your movement. That's the future. And that's why the very first competition that DARPA ran was for self-driving vehicles.

But now that they're taking away the subsidies, the luxury electric vehicle is in trouble. Reason needs to look at the marketplace and say, why can't we choose what kind of cars we drive? And why, when people are allowed to make these choices, even if the government pays them to make this choice of electric vehicles, people are not choosing that. Sales of the expensive battery-powered cars like the Ford F-150 lightning have stalled, forcing automakers to slow production and offer more affordable vehicles. Its future is in doubt. Ford has stopped making the truck whose prices start at $55,000 and can rise to more than $85,000 for premium versions with added features. And it won't say when or if production will restart. For many years, many of the electric vehicles that Americans bought were luxury models that

typically sell for more than $80,000. Hummers, Porsches. When the subsidy went away, the high dollar vehicles really began to slow down. And it's not even just that. If you look at BYD, which is the Chinese electric vehicle company, they are much, much cheaper. And they've got some cheap models. It's just people are not choosing to have this technology because it's not mature enough to be practical yet. And the governments everywhere are trying to force this. So even the cheap Chinese EVs are having a big issue. The chief executive of Volkswagen and Porsche said in a conference call, we have seen a clear drop in demand for the exclusive battery electric cars.

And we're taking that into account. the vice president of Edmonds, which does research on cars, of course, said a lot of people thought that the high-end luxury EV segment was going to be sustainable and that it would continue to grow. But with all the changes that have come into the industry, it's just not as big as we thought. I guess my big question is, will they be able to recover? You know, I look at the analogy of what is happening with the deindustrialization of the West. And the first place of that hits is with the automobiles, with steel and with other things like that, because of power and because that's being shut down.

And I just kind of wonder, it's kind of like the COVID lockdown, this deindustrialization. And when you look at how it impacted the education of a lot of kids who were liant on schools, I wonder how long it's going to take the industrial part of Europe. Europe and America to recover from this forced lockdown by the globalist based on climate nonsense. How long is it going to take to recover from that? Just as we saw the farms being damaged by Trump's lockdowns, they couldn't get product to market in the format that they were selling it. So they were just basically destroying the food at the farm while there was nothing on the shelves of the grocery stores.

This is what happens when government gets involved. And we'll just have to see if this is a, fatal thing, or if this is some kind of a hit that it's just going to take a long time to recoup from. A Ford deal in Arizona said about 75% of electric models that he was selling were leased. He said, but without a strong lease proposition on these vehicles, they become very much on the high end from the affordability standpoint. Mercedes is offering discounts of $10,000 or more on some electric models and as much as $50,000 discount on a Mayback. which has a starting price of $180,000.

They can't sell these things even to the Uber rich. It truly is amazing. But we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. I don't know. I'm . I don't know. I don't know.

And so, you know, I'm So, I'm going to be able to be. artworks. And... .

Or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. Well, as I mentioned earlier in the program, we got Mike Pompeo is now advising a Ukrainian weapons company that is at the center of a massive, corruption scandal within the company. He's now figured out a way to give them classes on how to lie, cheat, and steal, just like he did at the CIA. He is advising a heavily scrutinized Ukrainian defense firm called Firepoint, which will allow him to benefit directly from Western military aid to Ukraine. The war that he has advocated very heavily for, more and more spending, and this is yet another example of the revolving door for these military industrial

complex types. Quickly rising to prominence in wartime, this company, Firepoint, is currently under scrutiny for alleged price gouging practices. No, really? I guess that would be the way they advise them to operate. That's the way the military industrial complex operates here in the U.S., right? Why not do it over there? And for its ties to a Zelensky associate being investigated for corruption charges. Critics also charged that the company has an unfair monopoly over the drone market earning about a billion dollars this year firepoint is now constructing a factory in denmark responsible state craft reported last summer that pompeo stood to benefit from the trump peace plan that he proposed in the wall street journal which called for the ukraine to join

the e u. for a 500 billion dollar lend lease program for ukraine to buy u.s weapons which he could sell and profit from. He is also director at a prominent Ukrainian telecom company. This is, again, influence peddling. Same kind of stuff that we saw from Biden administration. Isn't it interesting how much they are alike? Pompeo would have stood to gain from the economic benefits, realized through the Ukraine.

And again, this is why we have these wars in the first place. It's simply because of these types of reasons. The graft scandal has weakened Zelensky, so is a French paper Lamond. Zelensky is scrambling to secure support from Western backers after being weakened by a $100 million corruption scandal involving a close ally, the same guy that's there. These people are just as corrupt as they can be. It's no different than the Biden administration and Hunter being put on as a director

of an energy company or whatever it was, I mean, Burisma, and it just, you know, they even run the same grifts, the Republicans and the Democrats, but we're supposed to believe that they're completely different, right? The revelations of widespread corruption in Kiev could provide significant arguments for European politicians advocating for reduced aid to Ukraine. The anti-corruption probe by Ukraine's Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau, uncovered an alleged $100 million embezzlement scheme involving state-owned nuclear energy from inter-goatom. Investigators have linked the company to this same guy, Timur Mindich, a close associate and former business partner of Zelensky. So this is a different company, but the same guy, because he's involved in a nuclear energy firm as well as the military industrial complex.

Again, looking very much like America, right? France has demanded that Ukraine engage in decisive fight against corruption as Zelensky arrived in Paris to seek military support from Macron on Monday. And of course, his wife loved to shop in Paris. She was famous for spending $50,000 in just an hour shopping in Paris. I wonder how they fit all that stuff in the car. When she had an 18-wheeler, they backed up to the place. No, she's not buying in bulk. It's stuff that she gets is so incredibly overpriced, you know, $4,000 purses and all this kind of stuff.

It does add up, you know, pretty quickly when you do that. So this folks is what our money is going for. Even Bill Gates said that Ukraine was the most corrupt country on earth. And that explains one of the reasons why we are there and why we have our politicians who always talk about national security. They always want to get involved in these wars because then when the bolts start flying, people aren't really paying attention who's grabbing the cash and running. That's another example of this. Well, we see that while we're talking about war, let's take a look at Trump's policy towards Latin America.

And, of course, it is the big stick policy completely different than the way that Teddy Roosevelt said. He said, you walk softly but carry a big stick. Trump's approach is to scream at people and hit them in the face with a stick. And so that's what we're looking at here. Swagger obnoxiously. That's right. And then chicken out at the first sign of any resistance. Yes, yes.

But the family of a fisherman who's been killed in the U.S. military strike is saying it just wants to have justice. And this was the incident that caused a blow up with the Colombian president, out Trump. And remember Trump said, all right, no more, no more subsidies for you guys because you produce cocaine. Well, really? We've known that for a long time. Why were you giving them subsidies? The guy who was killed was Alejandro Carranza, a Colombian fisherman who his family said had long plied the Caribbean in search of marlin and tuna. He called his teenage daughter and told her he was going fishing. And he said he'd be back in a few days. The day after he left, his family, fellow fishermen, and Columbia's president say that he was killed in the U.S.

military strike on his boat. The furor about what had happened to him has ignited a feud over the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September. Again, if we have a situation where no evidence is presented and there is no due process, They don't pull over the boats and find drugs on it. And as I said before, even if they did that, it would still be a violation of U.S. and international law to then line the people up on the boat and machine gun them to death, right? But the Trump administration just goes directly to that last illegal action without looking to see if they even have any drugs.

The attacks have enraged the leader of Colombia, Petro, who accused the U.S. of murdering Caranza in one attack. Trump responded by imposing sanctions on Petro and his family and moving to slash aid to the country. This week, Colombia suspended intelligence sharing with the U.S. until the Trump administration stops its strikes. Well, a secret U.S. memo, again, national security, not tell anybody. I've got this secret memo here, has linked Venezuela to a chemical weapons threat. Boy, I tell you, you know, history doesn't. doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme, doesn't it?

Here we are back to weapons of mass destruction and lies about weapons of mass destruction. This particular time, the lie involves saying, well, they're doing fentanyl, which they're not doing. We've already established that. It's been known from the very beginning. Nobody has ever in the past accused Venezuela of manufacturing or trafficking in fentanyl. That's coming from China. It's coming from Mexico. And so, but they're saying, no, they're making fentanyl, which they're not.

And then they're calling fentanyl a potential chemical weapon. This is in a classified Justice Department briefing, authorizing the strikes on these boats. So again, secret, no debate, no second guessing. There'll be no declaration of war either. You're not even allowed to see what they say is the issue, right? Isn't that interesting how that works? You say this is in terms of national security. And we were going to just get rid of the Constitution.

Yeah, the whole history repeating itself. It reminds me of the guest you had on a while back who was talking about Vietnam. And one sort of famous sniper among the Vietnamese was a girl that saw her father just shot randomly by Americans and then said, okay, now I hate Americans. I'm going to kill as many Americans as I can. It's just creating enemies. obviously there is no chemical weapons threat from Venezuela, but you're going to start creating people in Venezuela that want to destroy America. Oh, yeah, you might create people who will do attacks on us.

Which is exactly what they want. Yeah. And I think that the whole issue about this war, I think the timing is very dependent on when it is politically expedient, because there is no threat from Venezuela. So the whole reason that they're going to do this, when Trump kicks off this war, which inevitably he will do, It will be too politically expeditious for him.

It'll be another wag the dog thing. And they've now come up with a name for it. We had War Pete telling us that he's going to call this Operation Southern Spear. Isn't it interesting that whenever they go to war, they always call it Operation, you know, something or the other. That was what Operation Warp Speed was. It was going to war with you and me and all Americans. So War Pete says this mission Defends our Homeland

It removes narco-terrorists from our hemisphere And it secures our homeland From the drugs that are killing our people Yeah, right Every single aspect of that is a lie Isn't it amazing? You know, you got people like Mike Johnson and Warpeet Who wear their Christianity on their sleeve

Or in the case of Warpeat They tattoo it on their arm And they are such a reproach to the name of Christ and really when you look at you will not bear the Lord's name in vain it's not really talking about the kind of stuff that people like a pen and teller

when he talked about that he said I don't like to use the F word because it just makes you sound stupid people use that for every aspect of speech I use it for an adjective, a noun verb, whatever and he goes but I love to blaspheme the name of Christ because I don't believe in him that's really not what it's talking about It's talking about people who are, just like, you know, talk about an image bearer or whatever.

This is a name bearer. You call yourself a follower of Christ, and you do these kinds of things. It's just, I got to say, not, this is not what Christianity is. These people are not the face of Christianity. They're the face of hypocrisy and blasphemy. Chemical weapons angle is unlikely to be very convincing to congressional leaders, much less to the American public, says Zero Hedge. But again, the policy is to scream at people and hit them in the head with a big stick.

Venezuela has long been a transit route for Colombian cocaine, but there's no evidence that it produces or traffics fentanyl, which is typically made in Mexico, smuggled over land. It is an incredible stretch, said a former legal advisor to the State Department, and we all know that. fentanyl as a chemical weapon. Several years, going back, the single biggest sources of the world's fentanyl trade has consistently been identified as China and Mexico. It's impossible to know, and it hasn't been disclosed, whether any of these some 20 boats have been blown up by the U.S. military

have been loaded with fentanyl or in what quantities, or whatever they have, right? We don't know. Does it blow them up? We don't look. We don't do an inspection. We don't do any legal due process. So the Trump doctrine for Latin America is chaos, writes anti-war.

And folks, that is his doctrine for America as well. Chaos and infighting. Divide and conquer. Trump is the king of chaos. Under Trump, the U.S. is unapologetically an empire. operating without pretense. Now, that is what has changed, the unapologetic aspect of it. The idea that these things that they were always didn't want you to see, that they tried

to hide from you, that they would deny. He does it openly. International law is for losers. A newly minted war department deploying the most lethal killing machine in history need not hide behind the sham of promoting democracy anymore. Recall that in 2023, Trump boasted when I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over.

We would have gotten all that oil. You know, it's the same type of thing he said about Syria as well. We should take the oil. And they were taking the oil. You know, as part of this ongoing war before they overthrew the government, you had American soldiers that were stationed there that were stealing the oil. And you would have these reports in the press, and they'd say, well, you know, such and such, there's rockets that hit. And you've had American soldiers.

in Syria that have been killed or injured because of these rockets. What are we doing in Syria? Oh, that's right. We're stealing the oil. We've become a giant pirate empire, really. That's what this is really about. Trump's mission is not about being restrained by respect for sovereignty. Venezuela, with our oil under its soil, is now the crosshairs of the empire.

Not only does Venezuela possess the largest patrols. oil reserves, but it also has major gold, cobalt, bauxite, and nickel deposits. It would be simplistic to think that it is driven only by natural economic motives, however. Leverage over energy flows is central to maintaining global influence. This is what we saw in Syria as well. You know, Syria had some oil. It wasn't that large. The primary oil issue in Syria was a pipeline from our Arab allies.

that we wanted to have run across there instead of the pipeline coming from Russia. And so that was what that fight was about. It's about energy flows. Most gallingly, Venezuela nationalized its oil instead of gifting it to private entrepreneurs. So this is, Venezuela has got a partnership for defense with China and with Russia and with Iran. And so many conservatives will say, well, that's reason enough to go to. destroy them. But they might want to rethink that. In 2015, Obama codified what economist Jeffrey Sachs calls a remarkable legal fiction. Oh, and he's not talking about the Paris Climate

Accord. That was also 2015. That was when John Kerry said, I and Obama have self-ratified this treaty. It should never have been treated as anything legitimate. It was always a fiction. But this is a different fiction about Venezuela. Obama's executive order designated Venezuela as an extraordinary threat to U.S. national security. It has been renewed by each succeeding president, and this executive order is really an implicit recognition of Venezuela's Bolivarian revolution as a counter-hegemonic alternative, challenging Washington's world order. The AP reports tensions between Washington and Caracas have dramatically risen, as if the

one-sided aggression were a tit for tap. Venezuela, however, is seeking peace, but it has a gun held to its head. Reuters blames the victim, claiming that the Venezuelan government is, quote, planning to sow chaos in the event of a U.S. air or ground attack. How dare them defend themselves? Same kind of rhetoric that we see in terms of Israel and Gaza. How dare them defend themselves from attack. Why, we have to step this up. In fact, Maduro has pledged prolonged resistance to Washington's

unprovoked assaults rather than merely conceding defeat. So far, the death toll from U.S. strikes on the small boats off Venezuela, exceeds 75, and continues to rise, but not an ounce of narcotics has been confiscated. In contrast, Venezuela has seized 64 tons of drugs, this year without killing anyone. Russian foreign ministers,

Maria Zakarova said, now that the U.S. has suddenly remembered at this historic moment that drugs are evil, perhaps it's worth it for the U.S. to go after the criminals within its own elite. Because it's the CIA that created crack cocaine out of Central America.

And it was the American government that was escalating the production of opioids out of Afghanistan while we occupied that. Yeah, if you want to look at the drug war, I think we has met the enemy, and the enemy is us. And a breathtaking understatement, the Washington Post allowed the breadth of firepower would seem excessive for drug interdiction

and what is glowingly described as a, quote, stunning military presence. Yeah, you can see there's not too much pushback against this war, is there? Venezuela is now on maximum military alert with threatening flotilla off of its coast and some 15,000 U.S. troops standing by. Millions of Venezuelans have joined the militia. The populace has united around its Chavista leadership. See, it's going to blow back on us.

That's what always happens, right? If you would not attack these guys, eventually somebody say, you know, we're kind of tired of being poor. Maybe we should try something other than Hugo Chavez and Madura. Maybe we should try something other than socialism and communism. But when you attack them, basically they're going to defend their home. And that will cause people to become more codified and supportive of these regimes that haven't worked at all and have been extremely oppressive for them because your wartime presidents are always popular. the regime that's fighting the American imperialists is going to be popular regardless of what

it's done to its own people. Yes, that's right. And, of course, the person that they have chosen, you know, the U.S. puppet that they would like to put into place, she just won the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Karina Machado. And she is the designated leader that the U.S. would like to see in place. she is calling for military invasion of her own country how's that going to work out for her this is insane

and not only that but she actually has gone bonkers she said there is absolutely no doubt that Maduro rigged the 2020 election against Trump so you can kind of tell where this lady is coming from and I think all the people in Venezuela can see it as well This is another example of how it's going to backfire against them.

This is going to be the politics that's going to backfire against them. The Washington Post now finds that the Trump administration's approach is illegal. Really? The UN experts warn that these unprovoked lethal attacks against vessels at sea amount to international crimes. I look at this. I just can't believe that the UN and the Washington Post ever get anything right. But this is pretty hard to miss how badly this is. is set up how stupidly, foolishly, and illegally it's being done.

So what is new is that the U.S. administration is overtly flaunting, supposedly covert machinations, saying, yeah, we've got the CIA is scoping this thing out. Usually they have the shame to not say that. That was one of the jokes that Day Chappelle made about Donald Trump. He said, these other guys are then, they're scheming about things that they can do. He'll come out and you'll tell you, you know, they're going to do this, this, and this in there. And then he said, rather than stop him, he'll go back in there and join them.

And that's what we have seen. The Wall Street Journal says nobody in the Trump administration seems prepared to ask the hard questions about what happens if they do destabilize the Venezuelan regime, but if they fail to topple it. Oh, that could never happen, right? That didn't happen in Iraq or Afghanistan or in these other places. So, again, what does that? boots on the ground mean it's really going to mean troops in the ground casualties this is latin america under trump's uh don row doctrine as some people called it's monroe it's don'tro

it's don't row uh so um yeah he is being presented with options and he's saying well i haven't made up my mind yet that's one of the most damning statements i've heard going to war isn't about one individual making up his mind about what he's going to do when he's going to do it but that's what this is plasma stream thank you for the tip he said drugs have been winning the war on drugs for about 50 years so far 54 years i might put a hundred quid on polymarket to predict that the winner of the next round is going to be drugs yeah that's right uh citizen of america caca says what do you think it cost us to blow up each of those little fishing dinghies about a million dollars well that would be good for the people like

Pompeo, who worked for the military industrial complex. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. 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 is 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.
