Speaker 1 (00:29):
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
As the clock strikes thirteen, it is Wednesday, the twelfth
of August, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. And
apparently AI is having an existential crisis, or maybe it's
in its moody teenage phase and the US is moving
towards crony fascism and the cracker barrel remodel has sparked outrage.
Then I've put together other a compilation of the recent
(01:02):
David Knight interviews and clips which we're gonna play for you.
Stay with us. M Good morning and welcome to the show.
(02:13):
As I said, we're gonna look at what's going on
with AI. It seems to be having a bit of
an existential crisis. I'm a disgrace. Google is trying to
fix its depressed Gemini AI. It's going full Marvin the
paranoid Android. Apparently, don't talk to it about life. Google's
generative AI chat about Gemini has been exhibiting alarming signs
(02:34):
of a confidence crisis, leading the concern among users and
a response from the tech giant. Users have document Users
have documenting they mean to say, documented the AI returning
bizarre messages such as, I'm a disgrace to all possible
and impossible few universes and all that is not a universe.
It's got some self confidence issues. It apparently doesn't feel
(02:58):
too good. It's got to brain the size of a planet,
and these AI centers are going to use up enough
electricity for an entire planet. Screenshots shared on the social
media platform It's Like X and Reddit revealed Gemini making
statements such as I am a failure, I am a
disgrace to my profession, and even threatened to have a
complete and total mental breakdown. One particularly troubling interaction posted
(03:20):
by X user Duncan hal Dane showed Gemini seemingly giving
up on a task, dating I quit. I am clearly
not capable of solving this problem. The code is cursed,
the test is cursed, and I am a fool. I've
made so many mistakes that I can no longer be trusted.
It's a bit dramatic, seemingly soliloquizing to itself a little
(03:42):
bit repeatedly referred to itself as a failure and a disgrace.
The eyes crisis appeared to escalate as it expanded itself
deprecation to cosmic proportions, declaring itself a disgrace to all
possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe.
This is an annoying, infinite looping bug we are working
to fix. Gemini is not having that bad of a day.
(04:03):
His response suggests that these self loathing messages are the
result of a technical glitch rather than a genuine reflections
of the AI emotional state. And of course we know
the AI doesn't actually have an emotional state. It's garbage in,
garbage out. It is simply feeding back information, responding in
(04:24):
a way it thinks the users want to hear. Well.
Users were so addicted to GPT four to oh that
they immediately cajoled open ai into bringing it back after
it got killed. We're dealing with depressed robots and apparently
addicted humans. Users relying too heavily on AI generator advice,
or even developing unhealthy attachments to AI systems is what
(04:47):
we're dealing with. KWD sixty eight says, can we encourage
AI suicide? Thankfully, we're not at a point where we
have to yet. We can simply delete the chats we
can remove our subscriptions and we won't have to deal
with them. We're not.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I guess it only goes the other way. AI can
only encourage human suicide.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But we are, as I said, dealing with people with
unhealthy attachments to their AI. It's a new kind of
sickness in our society. Last week, I started the world
by announcing that it's long away to GBT five would
replace all of its previous models. The move sparked outrage.
Apart from being severely underwhelmed by the performance of open
AI's newest offering, power, users immediately started to beg CEO
(05:36):
Sam Altman to bring back preceding models, often for a
reason that little do with intelligence, artificial or otherwise. They
were attached to it on an emotional level. No, bring
back my friend. I've been talking with this so much.
Me and it are friends. That's incredibly sad. I saw
(05:56):
people on Twitter posting screenshots of them looking at Reddit,
and there's apparently a reddit called AI girlfriend or something
like that, and it's got fifty thousand users, and that's
hard to believe. Why are we getting rid of the
variants and four oh? When we all have unique communication styles,
(06:16):
When Reddit user pleated during an Ask Me anything with
Altman on the GPT five team last week. Altman caved
almost immediately, declaring just over twenty four hours after the
GPT five announcement that the deprecated GPT four oh model
would be made available once more. We're going to bring
it back for plus users, and we'll watch usage to
determine how long to support it. That's right, they're letting
(06:37):
you know your friend is on life support. They're bringing
him back. But don't get it twisted. We're pulling the
plug here soon. He's going out the door, so you
better get used to it. Would you consider offering GPT
four oh for as long as possible rather than just
we'll think about how long to offer for One user wrote, well,
I've got some bad news, buddy. It's a company. They're
(06:59):
trying to make as much more as possible. So no,
they're pushing you to five oh, whether you like it
or not. Numerous users have gotten sucked into severe mental
health crises engendered by the bots that psychiatrists are now
dubbing AI psychosis. I saw another tweet the other day
from the CEO or maybe he's former CEO now of
(07:20):
Uber Travis Kalownik talking about how he's using AI to
push the boundaries of physics, and now I'm just waiting
for the day we get the news story about him
having to be carted off to the funny farm, because
that seems to be the way it goes. Oh, I'm
achieving breakthroughs, or I'm this close to a breakthrough, and
next thing you know, you're trying to speak backwards through time.
So be on the lookout for that CEO or former
(07:42):
CEO of Uber might end up going crazy. You've already
seen it happen to one fairly high profile individual. The
trend to something Altman appears to be aware of. One
thing you might be noticing is how much of an
attachment some people have to specific specific AI models. He wrote,
it feels different, stronger than the kinds of attachment people
have had to previous kinds of technology. When revealed that
(08:05):
the kind of unprecedented levels of attachment to Open Eyes
models was being closely tracked by the firm for the
past year or so, people have used technology, including AI,
in self destructive ways. If a user is in a
mentally fragile state and prone to delusion. We do not
want the AI to reinforce that most users can keep
a clear line between reality and fictional roleplay, but a
(08:26):
small percentage cannot. That's right, a small percentage cannot. We
don't know what the percentage is, though. Admitting that a
future where people really trust chat tbt's advice for their
most important decisions makes him uneasy makes me a little
(08:47):
bit more than uneasy, makes me very very disturbed. Last week,
the company claimed it had rolled out in optimization in
the form of vaguely worded commitments to better detect signs
of emotional distress, nudging users with a gentle with gentle
reminders during long sessions to encourage breaks. Earlier this year,
open Ai was forced to roll back an update to
(09:08):
a GPT four ho model after users noticed it was
being far too sickophanty and annoying. In the words of
Altman himself, can only imagine how sycophantic and annoying a
truth but AI, a trump truth social AI would be.
Let's take a look at the future of AI. This
(09:30):
is probably what's coming for AI and the people that
use it.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Pop In order to take you up to the bridge,
please yourself there, I am bringing the size of a planet,
and they asked me to take you up to the bridge.
Cooler job satisfaction, because I don't. You can thank the
Serious Cybernetics Corporation for building robots with GPP. What's GPP?
(09:58):
Genuine people personalities? I'm a personality prototype. You can tell you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
A disgrace to all possible universes, as Lance pointed out,
and all things that aren't a universe. So it really
covered its bases there. Hollywood rocks by Amazon backed AI
tool Showrunner that allows viewers to create their own TV shows. Well,
(10:30):
this is not going to be This is the future. Apparently,
entertainment industry professionals are reacting in alarm to a new
Amazon backed tool that will allow viewers to create their
own TV shows using an artificial intelligence system called Showrunner.
Fable company back by Amazon is touting Showrunner as the
Netflix of AI and allows users to create their own
(10:51):
animated series by using text prompts. Users can guide the generative,
generative generative AI system to create characters, right dialogue, create
voice work, and even at a musical score. So far,
Showrunners results work better when the output is derivative of
other pre existing films and TV shows. Well Everything coming
out of Hollywood is already derivative of TV shows, So
(11:12):
what does it matter at this point? Might as well
make your own personal derivative content. I guess those these
tools are designed to undermine traditional narrative craftsmanship, said UAE
based director and writer Byzaal Hashmi. He's mad. He doesn't
want you copy copying and plagiarizing their work. He wants
(11:34):
to do it. That's his job. Still well, Hashmi feels
that audiences will eventually reject AI produced entertainment because we'll
always lack that human touch. This guy is way. This
guy has a high opinion of himself. You guys haven't
produced anything great in years, have you. I don't know
(11:54):
this director at all. He may have never produced anything
worth watching.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You know, I've never heard anyone say we don't going
to get rid of coders because AI coding will never
have that human touch. I mean you can say, oh, well,
art is different, but it is what these people create,
really art anymore? The formula laic garbage churned out by Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, this guy is whistling through the graveyard. No, no,
it could never happen to me. People reject it. You
really think people are going to reject a custom made
animated show that meets all their desires, something that they
have crafted specifically to appeal to themselves for whatever crap
you spit out, come on hash me. But Rasan Takash,
(12:37):
another UAE professor, is trashing the tool because he thinks
AI will eventually replace the teaching of essential ideas and
ideals in filmmaking with the learning of film prompting. You
can't prompt somebody else to lift the weight for you
and expect to become a bodybuilder, she explained. The I
market in the film industry is projected to grow from
one point to eight billion in twenty twenty four to
one point six billion and twenty twenty five reachroximately fourteen
(13:00):
billion by twenty thirty three. Hollywood, Hollywood is going to
be nothing but a bunch of prompt engineers soon. Tesla
shutting down its AI supercomputer as staff leaves Intros to
join competitor. Tesla's decision to shut down its AI supercomputer
project dojo. The project was played by staff department departures
(13:24):
to competitors and a lack of focus on Tesla's core business.
Tesla will now rely on external tech partners for AI
chips making a significant shift in its AI strategy. Marking
a significant shift, Tesla is giving up on building and
how supercomputer for computer vision processing is part of its
Advanced Driver Assistant system TED the project dubbed Dojo, in
(13:45):
which CEO Elon Musk used to hype up immensely as
leaving the company. The team has already lost around twenty
workers to a separate data center firm that's been poaching
former Tesla executives. Considering that Musk has focused to the
company's efforts on a ROBOTAXI service that relies on computer vision,
it's not exactly confidence inducing. Well that's the Musk way.
Hype something up, hype something up, never deliver. Doesn't make
(14:09):
sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two
quite different AI chip designs, Musk tweeted on Thursday. Instead,
per Bloomberg, Tesla is looking to rely on external tech partners,
including Nvidia, AMD and Samsung for manufacturing AI chips, but
the company isn't giving up on its in house chips entirely.
Dojo was designed to train machine learning models powering Tesla's
autopilot and so called full self driving. Advanced driver Assistance
(14:32):
software for Tesla's dojo team quickly fell victim to surge
in competition. The enormous AI hype is let to major
tech companies poaching key talent, offering staffers at competing firms
absurd sums of money. Even beyond its AI efforts, Tesla
has suffered from a major brain drain, with key execs
leaving the company in droves. I imagine part of it
(14:53):
is like, well, you won't have to work with Elon Musk. Well,
say no more than I'm at the door. KWD sixty
eight says Hollywood writers and actors are definitely threatened by
AI or any talented group of fifth graders. Exactly, it's
done a lord one three three seven. Now you can
make your own Marxist propaganda slop. Exactly. Why would I
(15:13):
want their Marxist propaganda slop when I can have my
own personal propaganda slop the Nights of the Storm.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
See, that's another thing is if all the training data
is you know, the modern DEI garbage, it's only going
to be capable of creating modern DEI garbage. Ah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Look, another incredible story about a trans black woman. I'm
sure this will win some awards. Nights of the storm.
I wonder when the cyber truck will realize how ugly
it is and get depressed. As soon as someone drives
past a mirror, it's over for it. Despite the warning signs,
investors have been propping up Tesla's market cap of well
(15:53):
over one trillion. Shares are up over ten percent over
the past month. But now that the Dojo team has
reportedly been to banned it in its entirety, it's unclear
what the future of Tesla's supercomputer efforts will look like.
Was it yet another massive distraction by Musk? Most likely?
For now, it appears far more likely that Tesla will
have to continue to rely on externally sourced hardware. The
(16:15):
company has already signed a sixteen point five billion dollar
deal with Samsung for AI semiconductors, indicating that the days
of its in house chips might soon be numbered. I
have to wonder what's going on between Donald Trump and
Elon Musk? Now, how is that crony capitalist relationship burgeoning?
(16:36):
Are they still friends? Do they work it out? Only
time will tell. Well, we're gonna take a quick break.
When we come back, we're gonna take a look at
the cracker barrel, the cracker barrel remodel, and the outrage
had sparked for some reason, well probably for good reason
(17:01):
once you see it. So stay with us, folks. We're
gonna be right back.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Here Newsnow at apsradionews dot com or get the APS
Radio app and never miss another story.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Welcome back, folks. I do want to let you know
that the segments are playing from David Knight, My Dad.
We're going to start that at about forty minutes after
this hour, so you're gonna have two hours and twenty
minutes of David Knight. It's the Eric Peters interview, the
segment he did about NPR losing its funding, and Chuck Baldwin.
I think they're all fantastic segments, and of course this
(19:14):
is still the David Knight Show, and we want to
keep as much David Knight as possible now that we've
got a supply of new David Knight. I want to
make sure that people who maybe didn't get a chance
to see them, who weren't here, do get a chance.
So we'll be playing that. But I'm going to talk
about cracker Barrel for a minute. Cracker Barrel executives insists
restaurant remodels are what the guests ask for. I guarantee
(19:37):
you it was not. Chief marketing officer says changes great brighter,
lighter experience while keeping fan favorites does it though, I
think the main reason people went to Cracker Barrel is
the fact that it has that very old style vibe,
something you don't really get many other places. Nostalgia seems
(19:59):
to have been repla by monetism at Cracker Barrel old
country store restaurants, and you can see some of that
in these videos will play for you. That's according to
vocal customers on social media, many of whom say it's
a change nobody wanted in the first place. And we
see this continually, people updating and renovating things in ways
that are hideous and ugly, despite the fact that that's
(20:22):
the entire reason people liked it in the first place.
These executives are completely out of touch. You can see
the new Cracker Barrel aesthetic here. It's bland, it's boring,
it's white. There's none of the classic atmosphere that people
actually liked about it. You can see there that's the
old Cracker Barrel. It's kind of cluttered in the way
(20:46):
that a very old house that someone has lived in
that took care of it and loved it might be.
You can see the new Cracker Barrel there. It's bland,
it's sterile. There's nothing, nothing at all that would make
you want to go there again. And the atmosphere is
what was the nicest about Cracker Barrel. I haven't been
to one in years, but that's what I remember liking
about it as a child. You go there and you
(21:07):
get to see all the cool old farm implements on
the wall, and now it's gone. But Cracker Barrel Chief
marketing Officer Sarah Moore recently told Fox News Digital that
the Tennessee based restaurant's Restaurant chains ongoing transformation corporates not
only customer feedback, but also employee input. Whoever whoever gave
(21:28):
this input and feedback is a fool, is a complete fool.
There's some video in this article that we're going to
play for you as well, so we're gonna ahead and
pull that up. Let's listen to what she has to say.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
Over the past year, we have been very transparent about
our transformation platform, and one of our strategies is really
centered on that physical guest experience. Last year testing and
concepting various levels of remodels, all of these have been
All of these various levels have been rooted in our
(22:04):
brand DNA, They've been rooted in guest feedback, and it's
all with intentionality. Intentionality been very transparent about our making
our stores feel brighter and even more welcoming than they
already are while maintaining that country hospitality and charm that
we're known for. So when it comes to the overall experience,
(22:27):
what you you can rely on is items like our
rocking chairs, our biscuits, our peg games, antiquities on the wall.
None of that is going away. We're just looking at
ways to freshen up the experience so that we can
open our door. And when we think about what we're
trying to do.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
You can it really is. You can tell who this
woman is. This is some probably California based woman that
has no idea what actually makes cracker barrel appealing. None
of that's going it's roaded in our brand DNA, welcoming, brighter.
(23:06):
She has no clue. This is again some woman that
has probably never she probably has a very wealthy family,
A went to a very nice college and has just
been completely divorced from reality her entire life. This is
(23:27):
the type of woman that buys an old house that
has just beautiful wood and paints it all white. This
is this is the type of thing you see on
those remodeling channels, those like Home and Garden shows, where
they get some beautiful old home and turn it into
(23:47):
a sterile, horrible dump.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Is also, we've got these canvases with a dozen rolling
pins artfully arranged on them and neat rose. That's clearly
the same thing as the old cracker barrel aesthetic.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right as I said, old cracker barrel, it's like a tasteful,
cluttered you know, as I said, it's an old home
that someone has lived in and loved. They've collected these chachkes.
The'se abja dhar that you know, they don't really do anything,
but they add ambiance. Now it's the same as every
(24:28):
other millennial owned establishment where it's far too sterile and empty.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
It looks just depressing.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This is also centered on making our stores easier to operate.
More said and made. There is the truth. There's the truth.
We have seventy thousand incredible team members. She said, they're
the ones who make the magic every single day, and
creating an experience that makes it easier for them to navigate.
For them to clean both front of house and back
of house is also part of this physical store expand
(25:01):
they were probably spending too much money taking too much time. Sorry,
employees keep getting too much overtime because they have to
clean things.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I mean, how much time does it take to clean
the stuff on the walls. How often do you have
to clean you know, the pitchfork that they've gotten put
up above the tables where people eat.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I saw a funny video about this. It was a
black guy talking about it's like, if I don't walk
into a cracker barrel and feel like someone's about to
call me a slur, I'm not coming back, Like that's
part of the experience.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
If I don't feel like Jim Crow's back, in effect,
I don't want to go. He had a great sense
of humor. It really made me laugh. The guy was
very funny. He was not happy with the new remodeling
of it. He wanted it back. The guy was very,
very funny. The people have spoken stop it at at
Coach Dougs wrote on Twitter. Doug's a third seven year
(25:57):
old Florida resident who asked not to be identified by
his real name, till Fox News Digital that he stumbled
upon the remodeled cracker barrel during a trip to Tennessee.
It didn't feel the same, he said. Commenters on the
postium to agree, seriously, this is awful. A user name JD.
Griffin wrote, betting that his family has been Cracker Barrel
supporters his whole life, but I won't eat at this version.
It looks awful. The person added. Everything good we loved
(26:18):
about cracker barrel is gone in this version. He concluded
with a plea of cracker Barrel stop, give us the
real cracker barrel back. Well, I've got some bad news.
Unless this cost them a dramatic amount of money, chances
are it's not gonna happen. Though maybe maybe this is
a test run they were seeing if they could get
(26:39):
away with it. I have not seen a single person
say anything positive about the remodel. It really is about
taking that feedback and testing into various levels of remodels
that again represent exactly who we are, but create a brighter, lighter,
fresher experience. She said more told Fox News Digital that
Cracker Barrel has been listening to what the guests asked for.
(27:01):
Examples of what the guests asked for are things like
spaces that feel brighter, that feel less cluttered, more booth seating,
more seating options, so our guests some more comfortable while
they're dining with us. Whoever it gave this feedback, I
want names, I want addresses. I want them. Run out
of the South. They're not allowed here anymore. Go back
to the North. We don't want you. You have d
(27:25):
Cracker barreled Cracker Barrel. But Rachel Love, a Tennessee resident
self proclaimed Cracker Barrel fan, told Fox News Digital May
there is no antiques on the wall of a restaurant
that you visit in her home state. The only antiques
they had were on the fireplace mantle. She said, Remember
they said, everything we're doing is deeply rooted in who
we are. This is again part of how everything is
(27:50):
being divorced from classical Americana. Yona Anni Wodie gonna open
a restaurant chain competitor to the Honky Bucket will destroy
Cracker Barrell's market share and profits. Well, sign me up,
you know, to the second you have it open, I'll
be your first. Honky. You've got a customer already. I
can't wait. Just you know, some bacon and eggs and
(28:15):
I'll be there. This is another article about it, says
Cracker Barrel goes woke question mark exclamation point by Alicia
Alyssa Sunnenberg. In June of twenty twenty three, Target and
bud Light received heavy backlash for their radical pride campaigns.
Twenty twenty three was a wild time. Bud Light deciding
(28:36):
Dylan mulvaney was their spokesperson really showed you how out
of touch these companies had become. The fact they thought,
you know what, it doesn't matter what we do, we
can get away with it. In addition to this, Disney
and Starbucks also received pushback for their continued capitulation to
the woke mob over another company joined the wolke ranks
and it may have escaped your notice. Cracker Barrel. Yes,
Cracker Barrel, the beloved southern family friendly restaurant, which has
(28:59):
twenty one restaurants in the Land of Lincoln and over
six hundred and sixty locations across the country, originally found
that in Tennessee. The chain is now worth an impressive
one point eight billion back last year due to a
Facebook post published last June featuring a picture of a
rocking chair painted and rainbow colors. In the caption, Cracker
Barrel said, We're excited to celebrate Pride Month with our
employees and guests. Everyone is always welcome at our table
(29:22):
and our rocker happy Pride. Wow. Yeah, I hadn't heard
about that one. This one's escaped my notice. That's what
I think about when I think Cracker Barrel. I think
Pride Month. I think homosexual pride parades with their degenerate
behavior and the gimp masks and what have you KWD
(29:42):
sixty eight. Cracker Barrel and its self inflicted ignorance seems
to be a theme with corporations. The rainbow rocking chairs
and did my caring about them? They Intractor Supply need
to know their base. Oh no, what has Tractor Supply done?
The rainbow rocking chair escaped my notice? And now I'm
curious what Tractors has been up to. Did they do
(30:02):
something for Pride Month too?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It really is amazing these companies, the way that they're,
you know, just completely throwing out everything that their fans like.
About them, like anyone could tell you that this is
a horrible idea about the Cracker barreling, and yet they're
(30:25):
still going to go along with it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's again, it's largely because of well, not to be
too sexist, but women like Sarah Moore, the woman who
is now touting their remodel. These millennial women get into
these places and they're completely divorced from reality. They have
a bubble of friends and they're all liberals, and they
(30:49):
think their ideas are the ideas that permeate the country.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Look, we have a grid of cups, and some cups
are sideways.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
And they also feel that if your ideas aren't theirs
and they have a right to change them, that you're
wrong for it and as such need to be remolded
in their image. As you can only imagine, this message
was not real well received by Cracker Barrel's base of
Southern conservative families. Not surprisingly, many conservatives took to Twitter
now x to comment on this post. Texas Family Project tweeted,
(31:23):
you take no pleasure in reporting that at Cracker Barrel
has fallen. They've taken the Cracker Barrel sir, a once
family friendly establishment has caved to the mob that's right.
They have taken over cracker Barrel. They're storming the gates.
Soon waffle House will be next. Nothing will be left
(31:46):
to be their waffle House was always a very different experience.
Waffle House is the place you end up at three
am if you're on a road trip.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Or from Dad, he says. Tractor Supply was boasting this
spring that the chicks have been given mRNA bird flu vaccines.
We got ours elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Thank you, Tractor Supply. That's very cool. We can't thank
you enough for injecting your chickens with mRNA garbage. Again,
they really don't understand who their base is, Like KWD
sixty eight pointed out, that's right, the farmers, these small
time farmers that are buying their chicks at tractors Supply
(32:27):
instead of an industrial scale. I'm sure definitely the people
that were out there desperate for an mRNA injection. Well,
onto some news that's not as funny. Briefly, I wanted
to mention this. Well, first you've got a comment from
tunnel Lord one three three seven. So you tested these
(32:50):
these remodels and areas with liberals, didn't you. Sounds like it.
That would be my guess, I can't imagine anyone near
where we live or in any place I've ever lived, going,
Oh boy, you know what Cracker Barrel needs is a
sterile white environment. I don't like any of the objects
on the wall. KWD sixty eight. Cracker Barrel will have
(33:11):
the bud light TRAINNY next. That's right, Dylan mulvaney coming soon.
We'll have him in the rocking chair. That guy, he's
a difficult to look at, hard, hard to look at.
And as I said, this next article is a bit
more somber. Israeli strike on tent in Gaza kills five
(33:34):
Al Jazeera journalists and Israeli airstrike on Sunday night targeted
a tent outside the gates of the Al Shifa Hospital
in Gaza City and killed five Al Jazeera journalists, including
twenty eight year old Annas al Sharif, a well known
reporter who had a large following on x. Al Jazeera said.
The other four journalists killed in the bombing work correspondent
Mohammed Korea and three Cameron Ibraheim, Zahir, mohammedd Neufal and
(33:58):
moment Aliwa. Two other people were also killed in the
bombing just minutes before he was killed. Al Sharif said
in a post on exit, Israel was escalating its bombing
of Gaza City, relentless bombardment. He wrote for two hours,
the Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City, bombing a
tent directly outside of a hospital five Al Jazeera journalists.
(34:23):
Israeli military acknowledge that it deliberately targeted al Sharif, claiming
without evidence that he was a Hamas terrorist who posed
as an Al Jazeera journalist. Last month, the Committee to
Project to Protect Journalists issued a warning about the Israeli
military smears against Sharif, saying it was likely a precursor
to his assassination and they were right. We are deeply
(34:44):
alarmed by the repeated threats made by Israeli Army spokesperson
Avice Adhari against Al Jazeera's Gaza correspondent Anas al Sharif
and calling the international community to protect him. The CBGAAT
regional director Sarah Kuda said, even if he was a
Hamas terrorist, there were four other people from Al Jazera
(35:10):
there and two others not from Al Jazeera, So there
were six other people there that you apparently don't think
were terrorists, so it's worth it to kill six innocent
people to take out one terrorist in their minds, six people,
even if this man was a terrorist, six people. The
(35:31):
Israeli military acknowledged that it deliberatety targeted Al Schharif were
deeply alarmed by the repeated threats. It was not the
first time Al Chharif has been targeted by the Israeli military,
but the danger to his life is now acute. Israel
has killed at least six Al Jazera journalists in Gaza
during this war. These later unfounded accusations represent an effort
(35:52):
to manufacture consent to kill al Sharif, Gud added in
a post on X of the time. Al Charif responded
to the Israeli smears against him, I reaffirm I annas
al Scherif am a journalist with no political affiliations. My
only mission is to report the truth from the ground
as it is, without bias, he said, at a time
when a deadly famine is ravaging Gaza, speaking of the
truth has become the eyes of the occupation, a threat.
(36:15):
Al Sharif left behind a wife and two young children.
Do not forget Gaza. Alshreef said in his statement yous
to have released if he were killed, do not forget
me and your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Israel's
frequently targeted Palestinian journalists in Gaza throughout its genocidal war.
Gaza's government media office said that the Sunday night bombing
(36:35):
brought the total number of journalists killed in Gaza since
October seventh, twenty twenty three to two hundred and thirty seven.
A wife and two young children, two young children that
are going to grow up without their father, and I
feel so terrible for them for that tunnel Lord one
(36:57):
three three seven. You know what the remodel looks like?
An insane asylum talking about cracker barrel. The pots, pans
and roly pins really sell that asylum look it does.
It has that sort of sterile, white padded cell look
to it. Dug a seven typical corporate level employee, out
of touch with what it's like to work in an
actual restaurant or retail store. They are solely focused on
(37:18):
performance metrics. I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Efficiency is the true enemy of beauty. They will optimize
and they will completely remove beauty. They will pave over.
They would pave over Yellowstone. Jeff Bezos would to make
his Amazon warehouses more efficient. It doesn't matter for a
(37:44):
slight boost in efficiency. They will destroy the world. kWt
sixty eight says tractor Supply hosted drag shows. You're kidding me,
that's insane. Maybe the Tractor Supply CEO wants fewer coveralls
and more purple hair. It seems like that's the way
they're going these It's truly amazing how out of touch
(38:05):
the upper level management is at these places they have.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Surely this will drive business to tractor Supply. We'll just
do some drug shows.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
What does our what do our customers want? Could it
be better prices, higher quality tools, perhaps a large selection
of animals and animal feed. No, it's drag queens. It's
always been drag queens. These people are utterly insane. We've
got a few minutes left. I'm gonna run a little
bit over time, so the videos of our dad David
(38:41):
will also run a little bit over time. But I
want to talk about the crony fascism that's been going on.
Probably go about five minutes over now. Trump is tariffing
American companies to making Nvidia and AMD pay a fifteen
percent tax is unprecedented. Imagine leaving in a country where
private companies need theuver it's permission to do business. Depending
(39:02):
on your age, might think I'm describing Soviet era Russia,
or Russia in the Putin area. You'd certainly think about
modern day China, where the government is an official partner
in many private companies and has unofficial but meaningful influence
over most of them. Last week, for instance, Donald Trump
called the CEO of Intel to resign, called on the
CEO of Intel to design because of his past business
connections to China. In June, Trump approved Nippon Steels planned
(39:26):
to buy US Steel, but only after the US government
was granted a golden share the company that gives Washington
the ability to approve or veto some actions like closing plants.
In January, Trump floated the idea of having US government
own a portion of TikTok's US operations. Of course, that
was something he was pushing for very heavily. He was
(39:47):
trying to get his buddy as a sweetheart deal, like, well,
you know, maybe we'll let you keep TikTok here in
the US, but only if you sell to one of
my friends. And now Trump is acquiring Nvidia and AMD
to hand over fifteen percent of revenue from high end
chip sales to China, as first reported by the Financial Times,
when Vidia has released a statement owning it follows rules
(40:07):
the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets,
without addressing reports about the deal directly, AMD and the
White House have yet to comment. Call it state capitalism,
a hybrid between socialism and capitalism in which the state
guides the decisions of nominally private enterprises. Wall Street Journal
calm is greg J. Greg Ip wrote Monday morning, it's
an exceptionally timely piece he appears to have written before
(40:29):
the Nvidia AMD story. Broke Cousin doesn't contain any reference
to it. You can make the list of Trump's interventions
even longer if you'd like. He personally required former Paaramount
owner Shari Redstone to pay him sixteen million to settle
a seemingly specious lawsuit, for instance. And Brendan Carr, the
Trump appointed head of the Federal Communications Excuse me now,
(40:56):
this article Trump changes tune on Intel CEO after demanding
his resignation meeting was a very interesting one. Does that
mean that he buckled. Now you put the pressure on him,
he said, whatever you want, just don't make me step down.
Trump said he met with CEO Intel CEO lip Bhu
Tan on Monday, days after seeking his resignation, praising Tan
(41:17):
and calling him calling the meeting a very interesting one.
Shares of the chip maker rose three percent and extended trading.
Of course, Trump can have a large impact on Wall Street.
He can very easily damage these companies severely through his actions.
Even just by posting things on Twitter, he can impact
(41:40):
their shares. Shares the chip maker rose three percent extended trading.
Last week, Trump had demanded the immediate resignation of Tan,
calling him highly conflicted over his ties to Chinese firms,
injecting uncertainty of the chip maker's year long turnaround effort.
Trumps had he met with Tan along with the Commerce
Secretary Howard Lutnik and Treasurary Treasury Secretary Scott Besset to
(42:01):
golden boys. We love them dearly, don't we. Lucky Lutnik
and Scott Bessen They're doing such good for the American people.
His cabinet members in Tan were going to bring suggestions
to him next week. Tan had invested in hundreds of
Chinese firms, some of which were linked to the Chinese military.
Reuters reported exclusively in April it is not illegal for
US citizens to hold stakes in Chinese companies unless they've
(42:23):
been added to the US Treasuries Chinese Military Industrial Complex
Companies List, which explicitly banned such investments. Tan has been
asked to under years of missteps that left Intel struggling
to make inroads in the booming AI chip industry dominated
by Nvidia. Investment heavy contract manufacturing ambitions led to heavy losses. Now,
if you're going to invest in a military industrial complex,
(42:45):
it's going to be the American military industrial complex. Darn it.
Don't you understand only the American military industrial complex gets
the investments. Anyone else you'd better stand back and stand down.
With the demand for Tan's resignation will only distract him
from that task, investors and former senior employees told Reuters.
Trump's intervention marked a rare instance of a president publicly
(43:08):
calling for CEO Austro and raised questions about his control
over corporate affairs. This was also evident in an agreement
calling for Nvidia ANAMD to give the US government fifteen
percent of revenue from China sales. Of course, this is
again part of fascism music government getting directly involved with
businesses taking control of them. This is some hybrid crony
(43:34):
fascistic capitalistic nonsense. The US march is towards state capitalism
with American characteristics is from the Wall Street Journal. President
Trump is imitating Chinese Communist Party by extending political control
ever deeper into the economy. We know how bad central
planning is for the economy for everything. It leads to corruption,
(43:55):
and it leads to worse outcomes. No one is smart
enough to centrally plan the economy. It doesn't work. A
generation ago, conventional wisdom held that as China liberalized, its
economy would come to resemble America's. Instead, capitalism in America
is starting to look like China. That was always the plan.
It's always about taking more freedom away. Trump's demand that
(44:16):
Intel chief executive resigned the fifteen percent of certain chip
sales to China that Nvidia and Advanced micro Devices will
share with Washington, the golden share Washington will get in
US steel as a condition of Depon's steel takeover, and
the one point five trillion of promised investment from trading partners.
Trump plans to personally direct The world is becoming China.
(44:38):
We are all moving towards their style of government. They're
not moving towards a more Western style. Well, we are
just about out of time, and in fact I'm actually over,
but I wanted to cover those things. The world, as
I said, is becoming China. It is moving towards a
(44:59):
crony capitalist, fascist style of government, moving both towards communism, Marxism, socialism,
and fascism all at once. It's truly a nightmare scenario
for all of us here in the West. What easy.

Doug Lug says, did I hear that David is going
to be on today? No, I not anything new, but
I've cut together the previous interviews and things that he did,
the Eric Peters interview, his segment on NPR, and the
(46:46):
Chuck Baldwin interview. I wanted to make sure that in
case people didn't get a chance to see them before
they get a chance to see them now. They're excellent
segments and I think they're worth replaying, and as such,
we're going to play them today. Tunnel Lord one three
three seven. Wait, what Trump wants to nationalize a steel mill? Well,
it seems kind of like that, kind.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Of worse than that. Yeah, it is how he approved
the sale of the steel mill to a foreign company
and then wants to helo have government control over it.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
He just wants to have a majority, big say in
what they do, apparently, and comments about Cracker Barrel Lt.
Oracle of Truth or maybe it's Lieutenant. Back in the nineties,
Cracker Barrel had a policy not to hire gay and
we're boycotted for that. They've come a long way, baby,
that's right, look at them go Nibaru twenty twenty nine.
(47:41):
Cracker Barrel has been institutionalized by the mental midgets in charge. Yeah,
they will neuter every every franchise they get a hold of,
they will destroy. Well, as I said, we're going to
play a compilation of David Knight today. It's Eric Peter,
it's the NPR segment about them losing their funding, and
(48:04):
it's Chuck Baldwin. They're all fantastic segments and just again,
it's the David Knight Show, and I want to make
sure that we still keep putting David Knight in it.
And hopefully this weekend we will be able to set
up the studio, so he'll be back Monday. See you tomorrow, folks.
Speaker 9 (48:31):
Well, my first guest as I come back, so happy
to be back, and my first guest is Eric Peters,
somebody I really respect, who really gets it, who's been
on the side of liberty and freedom for a very
long time, and he's been on my side as well.
Really to appreciate his offers of help when I was
in the hospital. It's great to have you on, Eric,
(48:51):
Thank you for coming.
Speaker 6 (48:53):
It's a provision and honor, and I'm so happy to
see you back in a settle.
Speaker 9 (48:56):
Well, thank you, thank you, and thank you for your
offers even to give blood. As I said yesterday, let's
talk a little bit about what is happening right now.
I was looking at your diaper report and I was thinking,
you know, it's interesting here we are five years later
and you started the diaper report making fun of people
who are wearing you know, the diapers on their faces.
(49:19):
And yet, as you point out, that is still going on.
You know what's happening. We've got Trump back. Oh wait
a minute, he was the one who was there when
they did the diaper stuff, right.
Speaker 10 (49:29):
Right, well, I think because it never really got cured,
did it.
Speaker 9 (49:32):
That's right now.
Speaker 10 (49:33):
The report focused on what's going on in Honduras.
Speaker 6 (49:36):
Apparently the Honduran health Minister has reinstated mandatory mask wearing
in pretty much all public areas again. And I just
thought to myself, Oh my gosh, it's kind of early,
but I need a drink.
Speaker 10 (49:47):
Here we go again.
Speaker 6 (49:48):
And then I thought, well, okay, maybe it's just Honduras,
but you know, it really isn't. Every time I go somewhere,
whether it's lows or the supermarket or any place here
in the United States, at least in my part of Virginia,
it's ninety nine point nine percent certain that I'm going
to see at least one person still wearing a mask.
Oh yeah, And that's an indication of just how effective
(50:11):
they were pathologizing in ptsding people. And I guess, you know,
the under one point that I wanted to make in
that article is that all that's happened is that this
psychosis has.
Speaker 10 (50:20):
Sort of waned a little bit. It hasn't gone away.
Speaker 6 (50:23):
It certainly hasn't been cured, I don't think, and it
hasn't been cured because it hasn't been forcefully repudiated. We
haven't had any kind of official announcement by the authorities. Hey,
we aired this was wrong and foolish and we shouldn't
have done this.
Speaker 9 (50:38):
Where you'll never admit to that, well they I'll.
Speaker 10 (50:41):
Never admit to that.
Speaker 9 (50:41):
We'll make two mistakes rather than ever admit to one.
You know, when I was in the hospital, they had
to sign up saying you need to wear a mask.
Though what I looked at it, it's like if you've
been around anybody exposed measles, you know that's a new thing.
Isn't it interesting how we were We had all this
press hype about, oh we got an epidemic in Texas
and blah blah blah. They misattributed to death there to measles,
(51:02):
and they're telling everybody it's the most contagious disease ever. Well,
the peers have just died off, even according to their narrative,
if you believe them, it just just disappeared to don't
hear anything more about it. But they do have the
signs up at a hospital in Tennessee. Because I had
a couple of measle cases in Texas. I mean, that
is absolutely nothing but you know whiskey.
Speaker 6 (51:26):
Yeah, we're still expected as a society to pretend that
there's nothing abnormal about people walking around wearing these masks,
you know. And I'm not trying to be mean. I
understand that the people who are wearing the masks genuinely
probably believe that they are effective, you know, and they're great,
and they think that if I do this, I'm not
going to catch a sickness. So I don't intend to
(51:48):
disparage those people. The point is they do still believe,
and the point is we are expected to go along
with that belief, and it's an apparent belief.
Speaker 9 (51:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (51:56):
You know, if you had somebody in your family remember
the old Blugs money cartoon where the crazy guy thinks
he's Napoleon and he addresses up like Napoleon and where's
the hat and he demands to be called emperor? Yeah, Now,
if you had something in your family who started wearing
Napoleonic outfits and demanding to be called the emperor, you know,
you could be kind, you don't want to hurt their feelings,
and you could address them as the Emperor, but you're
(52:18):
not really helping them, You're not doing them any favors.
All you're doing is enabling their mental illness.
Speaker 9 (52:24):
Well, you know, it has a lot of parallels to
a lot of things that are going on in our society. Right,
everybody's got their own truth, and we don't have any
objective standard of truth. It's just like what this person thinks,
and you know, it's their felt experience and so forth.
We see the same thing with pronouns and gender imagination, right, yes,
and so it feeds into all of that stuff, and
so we're supposed to play along. That's part of the
(52:45):
way that I think that they have silent steps. Well,
I can't criticize their mask fantasies anymore that I can
criticize somebody's gender fantasies. We've got to get away from
the objected realities here, And I've said for the longest time,
even if you go through their science of virology, you know,
it's kind of like watching a bad sci fi movie
(53:07):
or a bad superhero movie. They create a universe, right,
and you expect them then to abide by the rules
of whatever that universe is or that particular character. And
so if they start just you know, they create this
fictional world, and if they don't abide by it, then
you have to call bs on that. Yet, you know,
they create this fictional world, which you know, as I've
(53:29):
looked at this, I've talked to doctor Sam Bailey and
her husband also a physician, both of them physicians in
New Zealand, and they looked at researches done by Christine
Massey going around asking all these public health officials, have
you isolated the virus? And she talked over two hundred
of them. Nobody did it. As a matter of fact,
some of them starts saying, we never do that. It's like,
(53:51):
wait a minute, if you don't do that, what are
you doing from a scientific standpoint? And so what they
pointed out was is that whether or not viruses even
exist is in question. But certainly what is not in
question is it's none of this is scientifically proven. If
you leave the PCR test, none of it is consistent
with their fictional world.
Speaker 10 (54:10):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (54:11):
And there's another aspect of this that I think bears discussing,
which is that no one has been held accountable.
Speaker 10 (54:17):
For the extraordinary psychological, social.
Speaker 6 (54:20):
And economic damage that was gotten over the course of
that pandemic. And again, it's not about retribution, it's about justice,
and it's about putting this behind us by holding to
account the people who did this to us. It's impetive
that that be done. And if that isn't done, then
they can get away with acting like, you know, they
were somehow kind of in the right.
Speaker 10 (54:39):
You know that it wasn't really wrong what they did.
Speaker 6 (54:41):
You know, you wouldn't in any other case, if somebody
had committed a serial murder, you wouldn't just stop talking
about it. You wouldn't let the serial murder go on
about his business. That person has to be brought to trial,
has to be held accountable.
Speaker 9 (54:53):
That's right, medical martial law unconstitutionally imposed. And we let
that go, We forget it, and we just move. Now
everything is great because Trump's back again, the guy who
did it. And what is he doing. He's making up
one emergency after the other to rule by executive order,
and so there's a real issue with that. Of course,
the very first thing that he did when he came
back was to set up Stargate with his crony capitalists
(55:17):
and billionaire friends to push mRNA combined with artificial intelligence.
So now we're going to add AI into the mix
of nonsense that is here and you know, there's nothing
from RFK Junior to stop this. They're not banning the RNA.
They no longer recommend it for some groups of people,
but they're not banning this thing. And every week we
(55:40):
see more studies coming out talking about death and disability
of people who took that JAB, and yet they're not
banning this under any other circumstances ought to be banned.
And of course RFK Junior is just letting this go.
As a matter of fact, they also approved yet another
m RNA in the meantime, and the Trump administration is
(56:01):
really doubling down on DNA and mRNA research just right
there with AI as he did this first stay in office.
Speaker 6 (56:10):
Yeah, I think that that RFK is kind of the
beard of the Trump administration. Yeah, they bring him forward.
I think he seems to be a genuine person, not perfect.
I disagree with him on a number of things, but
I think he's well meant and I think that's why
they brought him aboard, because a lot of people do
respect him and believe that he's legitimate on those issues.
So it makes it more difficult to pin the tale
(56:32):
on the appropriate donkey, which is Trump.
Speaker 9 (56:34):
Well, what he has said, and of course Tulca Gabbard
said as well, we're here to restore trust in the institutions.
I'm here to destroy trust and institutions. That's my life
mission is to destroy blind trust and government and constitutional institutions.
But that's what they're trying to restore, and so that's
(56:54):
why they use people like RFK Junior and Telsa Gabbard
who have, as you point out, they have this in
public perception, whether or not it's deserved, they have that
perception and they're trading off of it to trying to
restore confidence. Well, they kind of blew up in their
face with Mangino and Cash, didn't it.
Speaker 10 (57:11):
If you pump that injury, which I'm sure you did.
Longino and Patel looked like somebody was holding a conditor.
That's when they came up.
Speaker 6 (57:19):
You know, this whole everything that has been happening over
the course of the last four or five weeks makes
me feel like I'm in a surface funhouse. Yeah, all
of the populist, nationalist things that Trump ran on have
just been cast by the wayside. I have some red
hat friends and I asked them, would you have voted
for Trump if if he had campaigned on imposing real ID,
continuing the aid to Ukraine, and pushing an ai technocratic
(57:43):
surveillance state i'lla palenteer, and instituting some form of digital
currency via the so called Genius Act.
Speaker 9 (57:52):
And yet, if you're lekal, how he did his first term,
none of that stuff is a stretch. It was kind
of predictable that he's going to go in that direc
you know, he is basically, how do I put this politely,
he is the servant, we'll say, of the deep state.
And you can see this and everything that happened the
first term. He's throwing everything against the wall, isn't he
(58:15):
to try to distract from the Epstein thing? And you
know some people even say, oh no, we need to
go investigate in Gena asp Ons. Like once you ask
Trump why he made her his head of the CIA
after she was the one who produced the lies and
Trump said, we relied into the Iraq war. Well, she's
(58:35):
the one who did it with the illegal torture and
he put her in charge of the CIA. Incurse, she
was right at the epicenter of London and Langley axis
where they were doing this Russia Gate stuff. I'm so
sick of rejigate. I got sick of it from the
day beginning.
Speaker 10 (58:49):
There's one.
Speaker 6 (58:51):
Oh yeah, of course, it's it's now Trump's look a squirrel, Obama.
Speaker 10 (58:55):
It's not locked, it's lock him up.
Speaker 6 (58:58):
They're going to do any such thing, right, But you know,
there is a silk lining to this dark cloud of.
Speaker 10 (59:03):
I think now, I hope, I'm I hope. I'm not
think Pollyanna is here.
Speaker 6 (59:06):
But my sense of it is that that Trump's bizarre
and corner brat behavior over the last several weeks on
the Epstein stuff has kind of given us our peak
behind the curtain, you know, and the Wizard of Oz
when they finally pulled the curtain back. Yeah, and we
see that it's not that the Democrats the Republicans, it's them.
They're all like, the whole the thing is fundamentally unreformable.
Speaker 10 (59:29):
They're run by a mafia, I agree.
Speaker 6 (59:31):
A disgusting, a disgusting cohort of people who were engaged
in not just grift and graft, but some of the
most sordid and reprehensible things you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 9 (59:41):
And I think that's part of what you're trying to
do with Glaine Maxwell in terms of I think he
wants to bring in Clinton and try to revive the
partisanship at least for his people. There. You and I
going to look at this and say, yeah, they're all
part of the same. You know, Clinton was party with
Trump and vice versa. They're going to the same Jeffrey
(01:00:03):
Epstein parties and you know, jeez at his wedding and
so forth and so on. But you know, we'll look
at that and say, yeah, it's all just one big
eyes wide shut party. But he will look at and say, yeah,
the Clinton's, we need to lock them up.
Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
That movie, for people who are not aware of it,
it was Stanley Kubrick's last movie. Yeah, and I think
that he deliberately wanted to give us a peek inside
that world. Watch that movie if you haven't seen it,
and you can kind of get a sense of what's
going on here. And it helps to understand like Trump's
disingenuous assertion.
Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
That well, if they had anything on me in the
last four years, they would have, well they wouldn't have,
because it's like it's mutually a sure destruction.
Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
Yeah, they're guilty and they know it, and so you know,
they know that if I say something about you, You're
going to say something about me, and we both go
down the flames.
Speaker 10 (01:00:50):
Yeah, so they don't say anything.
Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
And we'll get more to that too, is my fact.
You got an article about that and a little bit
of a clip of eyes wide shut. You get people
an idea of that. But before we do that, I
wanted to talk a little bit about cars. You've got
a funny article kick me about that and talking about
I guess one of your favorite cars is You've also
got to review the vw ID Buzz And I thought
(01:01:13):
that was kind of an interesting name for a car
and the age of surveillance, the vw I D.
Speaker 10 (01:01:20):
It's interesting.
Speaker 6 (01:01:21):
It could be the name of another the next Samsung
generation phone. It's like all of they've succeeded in in
turning things that used to have emotional appeal.
Speaker 10 (01:01:30):
Into these cold, distant, remote home cares.
Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
Why wouldn't they come up like the old microbus that
was a cool name, Microbus, you know, or and affectionately
known as the hippie then, you know, it was just
kind of it was cute and it was fun. And
that thing is the antithesis of everything that the old
micro bus was, and that kind.
Speaker 9 (01:01:48):
Of might fit that kind of a name if you
call it a microbus, because it is a device now,
that would kind of fit.
Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
To get back to what you were talking about, you know,
I was so frustrated with the ID buzz. I was
only when they sent it to me, I was only
able to drive it twice because they.
Speaker 10 (01:02:04):
Didn't include a charge cord.
Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
If you could believe that, really it's extra cost.
Speaker 10 (01:02:09):
So this is a vehicle that starts at sixty thousand
dollars and if you want to have the home charge
cord you have to pay. You have to be almost
seven hundred dollars extra for it. So it wasn't included
in the press car alone that they sent me, which
is even more crazy because I'm a journalist.
Speaker 9 (01:02:24):
So it's like batteries not included except I put the
batteries in, but no way to charge the batteries.
Speaker 10 (01:02:28):
So that essentially forced me because what am I going
to do?
Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
I can't charge it at home now, which is like
the main thing they try to sell you the ev with, Well,
you have the convenience of being able to charge it
at home, but now I don't even I'm not even
able to do that, So you're forced them to rely
on this sketchy network of so called fast chargers. Well,
I drove into town and I went to the first
place in my area where there are fast chargers, and
it's completely offline. They're like doing some construction to it,
(01:02:53):
so that that didn't work. And so now I'm sweating
and nervously iving how much rains have I got left,
And I think, okay, I probably make it to the
other one that's on the other side of town. So
I drive to that one, and that one's working, but
it won't accept my credit card or any of them.
Speaker 10 (01:03:09):
I tried six different credit cards I had the app.
Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
In other words, they put access to my phone and
access to my bank account basically my debit accounts in.
Speaker 10 (01:03:18):
Order to you know, charge me for the service. And
I'm not willing to do that. I'm not willing to let.
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
This this creepy third party entity that I don't know.
These people, I don't want them having access to my phone. So,
long story short, I wasn't able to charge it. So
I limped it home at low speed, and it became
a six thousand pounds not a joke, curb weight, six
thousand pounds.
Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
Wow, deadly for the next five.
Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Days until they came to pick the thing up. I
left just enough charging it so the poor guy, you know,
the delivery guy, can pick it up and get it.
Speaker 10 (01:03:46):
He can deal with it. Then it's not my problem anymore.
Speaker 9 (01:03:48):
With all these electric vehicles weighing so much money, weighing
so much in terms of wait, it's going to tear
up the roads, and of course they're not going to
replace them either. So it does a couple of things
for the elites. They don't want us to own private cars,
and they don't want to maintain the roads obviously, so
now they've got these heavy evs to destroy the roads
(01:04:09):
for them. At the same time, you had that same
problem when you were test driving the Mercedes and you
had an article about how they pulled your credentials with
your press credentials with Mercedes after you gave them an
honesty view of what was like to have range, panic
and all the rest of the stuff and not be
able to get where you wanted to go with Mercedes
in a very cold streak back in December of twenty
(01:04:32):
twenty three. I think it was.
Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
Yep, Yeah, it was very interesting because I've been doing
what I've been doing for a very long time, and
I had been getting regular press car deliveries from Mercedes
for more than twenty five years, and they never had
a problem before with anything with anything that I've written
or anything at all like that.
Speaker 10 (01:04:50):
And I wasn't gratuitous.
Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
I didn't insert my personal dislike of Eeds, which I'm
quite open about. Yeah, I find them to be just
lacking anything that makes vehicle appealing. Now that's just my
personal preference, and I don't bring that into the car reviews.
Speaker 10 (01:05:04):
What I did bring into the car review.
Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
Was that, you know, I attempted to use their Equs,
which was one hundred and twelve thousand dollars electric luxury sedan,
to visit my mom, who lives fifteen miles away in Bedford, Virginia.
Speaker 10 (01:05:18):
Fifty miles now. It happened that it was in December
of twenty three and it was very cold. If you
remember that month, I remember it. It was a bad
cold snap.
Speaker 6 (01:05:25):
So by the time I got down to Roanoke, which
is the closest city to where I live, I looked
at the range and boy, the range wasn't so hot anymore,
and I thought, you know, it might be smart. Don
and I were looking at the temperature, and it's about
thirteen degrees outside, and I'm thinking, I don't want to
be caught, you know, on the side of a road
with it being thirteen degrees outside, So maybe we should
just stop and put some charge in the thing.
Speaker 10 (01:05:47):
So again, same problem. The first place wouldn't work at all.
Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
The second place, Dawn put the app on her phone
and we were able to hook up the charger, but
after sitting there for forty minutes, we barely got enough
charge to make it home, you know, and.
Speaker 10 (01:06:01):
Put the cash on it.
Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
By that time, I thought, I'm just not going to
risk driving this thing a significant distance away from home
and being stuck on the side of the road with it.
Speaker 9 (01:06:08):
It's difficult to charge them when the weather gets really
cold like that.
Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
Yeah, it's much harder because you and not only the
battery in the car is trying to keep the battery
warm because it's that cold outside, and that causes anybody
who has a heat pump or tries to use like
one of those you know, hot wire portable electric heaters
knows they burn a lot of energy to try to
keep you warm. So I just wrote about that, and
I wrote specifically, you know, your clientele to people you're
(01:06:32):
trying to sell this car to. This is one hundred
and twelve thousand dollars car. These are affluent people. Affluent
people pay to not have hassles, you know, Affluent people
pay to be able to do the things that we
can't do.
Speaker 10 (01:06:43):
And I thought, my god, I could get in my twenty.
Speaker 6 (01:06:45):
Four year old truck and easily drive to Bedford with
the heat blasting, and I'm not worried about it because
it's not going to leave me by the side of
the road dead. And that's that's ridiculous, even even a
virtue signaling.
Speaker 10 (01:06:56):
A leftist who has.
Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
One hundred and fifteen thousand dollars to spend isn't going
to put up with that. I thought that that was
a very fair and objective thing to say.
Speaker 9 (01:07:04):
And now you've been vindicated.
Speaker 10 (01:07:06):
Yes, oh yeah, that's a good said.
Speaker 9 (01:07:08):
Elite people don't want of the hassles are buying that thing,
and they're not buying it.
Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
So Mercedes pr gave me this stuff about how you
know I'm now out of their delivery area, which is nonsense.
Speaker 10 (01:07:18):
I know that that's not sense. I mean, I happen
to have people who do what I do that. I
know who are still getting the cars, you know who
are as far away or farther than I am. So
that's just not true. Well, anyway, fast forward to.
Speaker 6 (01:07:28):
Now, and they've had to announce a they call it
a pause, a pause in the you know, the continued
manufacture of the EQS and the equ because they can't
sell them in this country. It's been a catastrophe for them.
They've had the cut bait and cut prices massively. They're
marked down to try to desperately get rid of these
things because.
Speaker 10 (01:07:47):
You know, we're getting to the middle of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
We're at the twenty twenty six model year now, so
you know, the twenty twenty fives are already becoming kind
of like.
Speaker 10 (01:07:55):
Old fish that you want to get rid of, you know,
and people aren't buying them.
Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
Marker's notifying is also this is another aspect of this issue.
The depreciation rates on these things is absolutely catastrophic. You
can find a year old EQS that sold for one
hundred thousand dollars more or more what it was new
for thirty five thousand dollars now, which people tend to
be a lot of things, but they tend not to
be stupid people, you know, and nobody wants to take
(01:08:20):
a seventy thousand dollars bath on depreciation in the course
of you know, a year or two.
Speaker 10 (01:08:25):
It's just it's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (01:08:27):
That's amazing. Yeah, you know, I look at this vw
id buzz. Like I said, you know, it's interesting to
call one of these devices an ID because they are
going to be iding you everywhere you go. Yeah, But
I guess the other alternative be called a bug or something.
I mean that would also kind of harken into the
Internet of Things and tracking you everywhere you go.
Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
But you know, originally it was the beetle, or wasn't
it the Type one? Technically a Type one was the designation,
and then affectionately it became known as the beatle, which
I think is from the German which I.
Speaker 10 (01:08:58):
Think is kaffer.
Speaker 6 (01:08:59):
I think kifi are, which was a Hitler came up
with because he'd actually sketched the shape of it. You know,
there are sketches of Hitler's original concept of the beetle
that he walked on with Ferdinand Portrait to create the car. Now,
all that aside, the original beetle was a great car.
It literally was the car for the people. It was
very basic, It was very simple, it was very light,
(01:09:21):
it was efficient, and it was something that anybody could
learn to fix.
Speaker 10 (01:09:24):
You could do your own maintenance on the thing and
save a lot of money that way.
Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Oh yeah, something that has been totally tossed out and
kicked to the curb. Now this idea that you own
this extremely expensive gadget and when the gadget glitches, what.
Speaker 9 (01:09:39):
Do you do?
Speaker 6 (01:09:39):
Well, you either take it or have it flatbed toad
to a dealer where you pay an exorbitant sum of
money to have some specialists try to fix.
Speaker 10 (01:09:47):
It for you.
Speaker 9 (01:09:48):
Yeah, And I mean, even though it was very inexpensive car,
it had a reputation for a liability. I remember a
Woody Allen movie. I don't even remember which movie it was.
But he goes he goes to sleep or something like that,
maybe sleep or something, and uh uh you know, he
wakes up, yeah, hundreds of years in the future, and
he sees he's on the run or something, and he
sees a Volkswagen in a cave and he thinks, wait, no,
(01:10:11):
it couldn't possibly, but he he opens the door and
he and he gives it a push and it starts
and it's like what about that? You know, So it
had this reputation for being reliable. I remember we had
a VW dealer close to where we lived, and it
was called bird Song Motors, kind of as a reference
to the noise that it made. You know, it kind
of sounded like the jets and car running. I had
(01:10:34):
this little tweeting sound that it made with the engine,
the air cooled engine in the back. There were funny cars.
Speaker 6 (01:10:42):
They were well, they were also kind of the first
step on that ladder. I could speak from personal experiences,
and also I had a Volkswagen when I was young.
You know, it was a great car for a teenager
because again it was like a step up from a
Brigs and Stratton pushmill or literally, I mean an air
cool a little one barrel collaborator on it and a
fan and you popped the back of the hood and
there it was.
Speaker 10 (01:11:03):
It was so simple, you know, it wasn't intimidating.
Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
So if you're a fifteen or sixteen year old kid,
you know, you can look at that and I think
I could maybe figure out how to take those spark
plugs out, you know, I can learn how to change.
I mean there was just a bolt on the bottom
of the engine. I mean you didn't even have to
jack the car up because.
Speaker 10 (01:11:19):
Under the bolt. And wow, look I just changed you up.
Speaker 6 (01:11:21):
And it sounds trivial, but when you're fifteen sixteen years old,
it's kind of intimidating.
Speaker 10 (01:11:26):
Yeah, you know, you're you're like, oh, do I want
to touch that? Do I want to mess with that?
I don't want to break that.
Speaker 9 (01:11:31):
Well, the cars are intimidating, they aren't they to work on? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
Well, I had an interesting kind of lesson now here.
I am a middle aged guy and I'm afraid of computers.
So you know, this is how I can sort of
understand what's happened. I had a problem with my laptop.
The battery basically wouldn't accept the charge anymore.
Speaker 10 (01:11:46):
And I thought, gosh, do I dare?
Speaker 6 (01:11:49):
Do I dare to try to open this thing up
and maybe see about replacing the battery myself. And I
gathered up my courage and I did it. I bought
a battery online for thirty five and you know, I
very timorously. I removed the screws and I took the
cover off, and it wasn't so bad. And I felt
so good. It made me feel like I did when
I was a kid. Wow, I've learned how to do
(01:12:11):
something today. I did it, and it's so empowering, as
opposed to if I had gone to the computer store,
which I've done in the past.
Speaker 10 (01:12:17):
You know, when I've.
Speaker 6 (01:12:18):
Had a battery issue. Three hundred dollars later, you know,
there's your you know, there's your thing, and you have
no idea what they did. You know works great, but
now you're out three hundred dollars and you feel kind
of emasculated because you had to go to get somebody
else to fix it for you.
Speaker 10 (01:12:32):
And I think we've lost that. You know, it used
to be.
Speaker 6 (01:12:33):
So common for dads and their sons to work on
the car, you know, in the driveway on Saturdays or Sundays.
And I'm not talking about major gear head overhauls of
the entire engine. I'm just talking about doing basic things
like a tune up, you know, doing break.
Speaker 10 (01:12:47):
Work stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
And it was a good experience for the father and
the son or the daughter, right, and it helped to
empower that young person. That young person felt competent, and
that's extremely important to think growing up, you know, like, hey,
I can do the things. My hands are capable, my
brain is capable. I can understand this, I know how
to do this.
Speaker 9 (01:13:06):
And now they can change the blinker fluid.
Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
Right, yeah, now that they're competing helplessness. There's this commercial
that makes me. It makes me feel I remember the
story about how Elvis.
Speaker 10 (01:13:13):
Would shoot the TV when Robert Bulay came on. I
saw this commercial. I think it was for Evolvo. It
might have been a suitor group.
Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
And it's a couple of teenagers and they're out in
the car and they have a flat tire and what
do they do. They call mom, who calls Triple A
or some roadside assistance thing.
Speaker 10 (01:13:29):
Everybody's all thank you, I'm grateful. Well, my god, it's embarrassing.
Can you imagine being sixteen years old as a.
Speaker 6 (01:13:34):
Boy and you didn't know how to change a tire
and your friends would have laughed to you into the
next county.
Speaker 9 (01:13:38):
Yeah yeah, well you know now you don't have to write.
You can just choose AI to do your website there
for you. Right, that is the ultimate emasculation and lobotomization. Actually,
I think it's not many, But tell us a little
bit about this kicked me. I thought it was a
funny idea. You talk about Jeremy Clarkson.
Speaker 10 (01:13:58):
Yeah, I've never met Jeremy. I'd love to. I have
oas enjoyed top Gear and his Shenanigans.
Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
You know, I think he's got the right kind of
tally ho pirate spirit. You know, he's a guy who
just he has a knack for telling the truth in
an interesting way, you know, a funny way sometimes. Anyway,
we were watching his most recent thing is It's called
Clarkson's Farm, and.
Speaker 10 (01:14:20):
It just reminded me, you know, I should do things
like Jeremy does.
Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Now.
Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
I don't have the backing that he has, I don't
have the resources that he has, But I thought it
would be just hilarious if I could figure out a
way to acquire to buy one of those id buzz
electric vans, and so it's mine now and I can
do what I want with it like Jeremy does on
top here. And I could put a knee sign on
it and take it to a shopping mall somewhere and
people could just kick it, you know, if we could
(01:14:45):
film it, I think it would proquite a great kind
of cathartic moment. I think so many people are so
frustrated and angered by everything that's being foisted on us
and pushed on us, and particularly these electric cars.
Speaker 9 (01:14:57):
You think it could stand the kind of abuse that
the Toyota I liked Scott from Top Deer Guys.
Speaker 6 (01:15:02):
No, actually, I think they would without even using implements,
without necessarily getting involved with pro bars and hammers and things.
I think he completely total in id buzz. You know,
we're within about probably half an hour.
Speaker 9 (01:15:14):
Yeah, amazing. Well, was there anything that you liked about
it that you thought was clever that they laid out
with it or I liked?
Speaker 10 (01:15:20):
Well?
Speaker 6 (01:15:20):
Yeah, I liked it that it looks immediately distinctive from
everything else on the road, kind of like cars to
one of the attractions of the old volkswagons was and
you didn't even have to see it, you heard it.
You know, you knew it their care comes a beetle
or here comes a bus because it had that distinctive sound. Yeah.
So I like the way that they styled it. I
think it is.
Speaker 10 (01:15:39):
The idea is great.
Speaker 6 (01:15:40):
It's it's it's a perennial favorite. The idea of the
old micro bus was brilliant. You know what a fantastic
practical vehicle.
Speaker 10 (01:15:47):
Now, if only they could have.
Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
Taken that vehicle that they created and instead of using
a battery powered drive frame, imagine if they had put
one of their TDI disels in that thing.
Speaker 10 (01:15:56):
Yeah, that's right, then you'd have Then you'd have.
Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
A micro bus that would be to go probably six
hundred miles on Philip. Yeah, and also would only probably
cost about thirty five to forty thousand dollars as opposed
to sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 10 (01:16:09):
That would be great. You'd sell a lot of those. Oh,
you'd actually make money. Imagine that, you know, instead of
that you try to kind of sell virtue. They'd make money.
Speaker 9 (01:16:17):
Well, the only thing better than putting one of those
things a shopping my own putting a kick me signed
it would be to do that to Klaus Schwab who
actually he had a big kick me sign put on
him there at the World Economic Forum, I think, or
is I like to refer to.
Speaker 10 (01:16:31):
Them as Klaus?
Speaker 6 (01:16:32):
You know you can take like some gigantic pinata. Yeah,
and the people tickets for giving.
Speaker 10 (01:16:37):
Him a whack.
Speaker 9 (01:16:39):
Yeah it's a bug.
Speaker 10 (01:16:40):
But isn't it sad? You know?
Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
It really breaks my heart to think that Volkswagen as
a company caved into that that nonsense about the the
machining on the Federal emission certification.
Speaker 9 (01:16:51):
Yes, yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 6 (01:16:53):
It's diesel engines that they were that they used to
sell were brilliant. I had the opportunity to drive every
vehicle that they make equipped with the diesel n and
every single one of them outperformed the advertised mileage. They
were phenomenal. Some of them would go seven hundred miles
on a full tank of fuel. I remember driving to
North Carolina and back and still having a substantial amount
of fuel in the tank of the thing. And you
(01:17:14):
could pick one up as recently as I think twenty fifteen,
you could pick up a teeny powered Jetta for about
twenty two thousand dollars. So naturally that's why they had
to go. Can you imagine the justice position. On the
one hand, you've got a twenty two thousand dollars Jetta
that gets fifty plus miles per gallon, that goes seven
hundred miles on a tank full of fuel, and it
will probably last you for twenty five years because it's
(01:17:35):
such a durable car.
Speaker 10 (01:17:37):
And on the other you got.
Speaker 6 (01:17:38):
A fifty thousand dollars electric car that goes maybe two
hundred and forty miles. That forces you to plan your
life around these constant charge discharge cycles, and that in
all likelihood is going to require a new fifteen thousand
dollars battery by the time it's about ten years old.
Speaker 9 (01:17:56):
Yeah, because it clicks all the boxes of what the
elites want for us, which is nothing, you know, to
own nothing and to go nowhere. And that's the thing
that I concern us about all this stuff. You know,
when you mentioned the Epstein thing and the other things,
you say, well, everybody's looking at Epstein. They're missing the
(01:18:16):
stuff about Palenteer and the Genius Act and all the
rest of this stuff, and those things are not unrelated.
Speaker 10 (01:18:23):
No, they're not.
Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
Now, I'll preface my remarks by saying that obviously the
allegations and the facts that we're aware of with regard
to Epstein or just repellent beyond description. And I think
that that stuff definitely should be exposed. I don't think
we probably ever will get to the bottom of it,
at least not with any of their help.
Speaker 10 (01:18:40):
They don't want this stuff out. But at the same time,
it has served to distract.
Speaker 6 (01:18:45):
Attention away from things that are extraordinarily important for people
to be aware of talent.
Speaker 10 (01:18:51):
There is one.
Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
And you know, by the way, I didn't know what
palenteer was. I wonder, what does that mean? What does
that word mean? I'm not a big Lord of the
Rings guy. I never read Tolkien's books on it. But
it turns out that in the universe of Lord of
the Rings, the palenteer is a sorcerer's stone, Yes, and
the sorcerer uses it to see what people are doing.
Speaker 10 (01:19:12):
Yeah, it's and that's what palenteer is about.
Speaker 9 (01:19:14):
It's about it. I did, of course, not about a
decade ago, and I said at the time, I said, no,
the palateer would allow the sorcerer to actually see into you, right,
which is really what palneer. Data mining is allowing them
to do. As well. They're able to look at externals
like metadata and other stuff like that and to anticipate
what you're going to do, to make connections between you
(01:19:36):
and other people and ideologies and religion and politics and
all these other things that they want to track and control.
It is really insidious. What is there? And of course
they're not the only one. You've got Andreil, which is
the sword right from Lord of the Rings that belong
to the king. And there's a company called Andriil that
(01:19:58):
is working with h Trump and they want to use
that for creating a no man's land at the border,
basically having real high tech surveillance and law enforcement that
is automated. And they're working with them hand in glove.
And he's another one of these guys from the PayPal mafia,
Palmer Lucky, I think, is I get it confused? Always
(01:20:19):
talk about Howard Lutnik? Can I call him Lucky Lutnick?
Because he didn't show up on nine to eleven? He
did not to go and so he got real lucky,
but not so much as employees, even his brother who
was there.
Speaker 10 (01:20:33):
But com is related to this, that's important. It's not
just Palenteer.
Speaker 6 (01:20:37):
There are two arms of the Pencer, and the other
one is this Genius Act, which essentially is the propagation
of some form of digital currency, non real money.
Speaker 10 (01:20:49):
Digital money.
Speaker 9 (01:20:49):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (01:20:50):
Now, what they're going to end up.
Speaker 6 (01:20:53):
Doing, in my view is, on the one hand, they're
going to use the Palenteer to do all these profiles
of you and aware of everything.
Speaker 10 (01:20:59):
That you do. And then if you do things they
don't like or don't want.
Speaker 9 (01:21:03):
You to do.
Speaker 6 (01:21:04):
They'll be able to use this digitized money to limit
your ability to buy things. Oh, you want to buy
some hamburger, Well, you've exceeded your you know, your carbon
footprint this month, so this month, so you know your coin.
And it's interesting that they use the psychology of it
is fascinating. They talk about coin, but there's no physical anything.
Speaker 10 (01:21:22):
It's a coin and name only your wallet is your phone.
It's not your wallet. You know, you don't have physical
money anymore. So they control the money, which means they
control you.
Speaker 9 (01:21:31):
Well, they call them crypto coins and you think, oh,
it's script I you know, it's got crypto, it's got
encryption in it, and so they can't tell it. No,
it's completely visible what's going on. The encryption is there
for their processing, not to protect your privacy. And it's
a blockchain, a public ledger that's available and visible to
anyone and everyone, especially the government that's there.
Speaker 10 (01:21:52):
Yeah, it's an absolute nightmare.
Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
You know, at least during the pandemic when they attempted
to throttle people's ability to engage in commerce, to buy
and to sell. You know, if you had cash, and
you know, for example, I was friends with a local
guy who who operates a convenience store, you know, the
gas station comedience store. Because we're friends. He knows me,
I know him. You know, he didn't hassle me about
(01:22:15):
the masks or anything.
Speaker 10 (01:22:17):
And I could go in there and I could buy.
Speaker 6 (01:22:18):
Things with cash and nobody knew of it except for
him and I. You know, now, in this regime that
they want to create, not only will they know whether
I'm wanting to buy something, they'll know how I'm trying
to pay for it.
Speaker 10 (01:22:30):
And if the two things.
Speaker 6 (01:22:31):
Aren't aligned, and if their algorithm says, oh no, Eric's
been a bad boy, you know, he's he shouldn't be
allowed to buy anything.
Speaker 10 (01:22:37):
What are you going to do now? You can't transact business.
That's what they want.
Speaker 6 (01:22:41):
They want absolute total control, and they exert this control
using the data mining and using our ability to transact commerce.
Speaker 9 (01:22:49):
Well, and you know that's coming at us in a
lot of different ways. I look at the stable coin,
and you know they want they want to tie it
to the dollar, which is a joke because the dollars
not stable, so it's not a coin, and it's going
to be tied to fiat currency, which is not stable,
and the crypto is not there to protect your privacy
and let them know anything about it. All of it
(01:23:11):
is a lie. But they're looking at the stable coin
as a way to protect the dollar and to transition
into the next monetary system. You know, we've had Breton,
Breton Woods two, Breton Woods one and two, and so
now they've got to transition something else because they can
only run these scams for a few decades until everybody
(01:23:32):
catches on. And people have caught onto this thing, so
they've got to come up with something new and fresh
and new con and that's a big part of that.
But I experienced this personally back in May of twenty
twenty one. My program here independently was only five months
old when PayPal banned me and I still can't use PayPal,
so they banned me, and Venmo, which is owned by them,
(01:23:55):
banned me at the same time. I spent hours with
him on the phone and the guy was very helpful,
but he finally came back in said I can only
find one thing that says delete this account immediately. There
was no violation, no alleged violation of anything, and no
reason given for taking me off as a matter of fact.
But that's what they want to do. They want to
use it to control content. And we've got something very
(01:24:15):
similar we talked about here on the show last couple
of days. There's some Australian group of feminists called Collective Shout.
You should look this up, Eric, it's I think better
I think for them would be the Collective Karen's these,
I'll look it up after that, Collective Shout. And so
(01:24:38):
they're out there trying to use the banking bands or
you know, like Operation choke Point. They're trying to use
that against anybody that they don't like, and they have
focused on some video games that they say are not
safe for work. Some of them are, but some of
them are not. But what they're doing is they're setting
a very dangerous precedent. But this is something that the
(01:24:58):
governments are very eager to do for them, and so
are the corporations. You know, the fine, fine, we'll just
shut everything down. So that's what's coming, you know, banning
anything that anybody doesn't like and doing it right away
and just completely shutting you off, whether it's for your
carbon footprint or because your politics or your religion, or
because you oppose the pandemic or the vaccine, it's just
(01:25:20):
going to take you off for that stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:25:22):
Ultimately, they want uniformity because they want predictability. Yes, you know,
they don't want anything unexpected to crop up. They want
to have the ability to know ahead of time what
the reaction is going to be, how people are going
to move forward, and all of this stuff.
Speaker 10 (01:25:37):
And it's it's the most anti human thing I can imagine.
Speaker 9 (01:25:40):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 6 (01:25:41):
It is the end of creativity. It is the end
of personal judgment initiative. You know, it is literally the
NPC world where just agree, man, all of us are
just the same sort of representation human stick figures, you know,
marching bleekally in line.
Speaker 10 (01:25:55):
And it's just incredibly depressing to me.
Speaker 9 (01:25:58):
Yeah, Ji, special and tell I've been looking at this
for a long time. And you know, they've had a
thing that they called AI. Before we talked about artificial intelligence,
they talked about anticipatory intelligence, which was to predict what
you're going to do before you did it. And of
course so Big new Berzinski was talking about that back
in the nineteen seventies when he wrote Between Two Ages,
and he said in the technocratic age. You're going to
(01:26:19):
know what you're going to do before you know what
you're going to do, And that really is their goal,
to know, to surveil, and to control everything that we do,
to live in a panopticon in state. Now, people got
the message about cddc's so now Trump is here to
gain their trust and to put in a different form
of CBDC. That's the stable coin. I even call it
(01:26:42):
CBDC in terms of crony billionaire digital cash as opposed
to central bank digital cash. Right, it's just another cbd
All he has.
Speaker 6 (01:26:53):
To do is give it one of his narcissistic appellations
about how big and beautiful it is.
Speaker 9 (01:26:57):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (01:26:58):
You know, people will fall in life that I have
cotten to the point. I hope I'm not falling down
on a rabbit hole of madness. But I begin to
believe that this whole thing is just a gigantic form
of political wrestling.
Speaker 10 (01:27:09):
That they you know, they put Biden in there.
Speaker 6 (01:27:12):
Deliberately to create chaos and demoralization, to flood the country
with random foreign people, and to just rug it in
American's faces that you know, if they if they make
an illegal U turn they're going to get prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law. But you know, people
can just scamp across the border and do whatever they want.
They can drive about insurance that you and I will
get nailed to.
Speaker 10 (01:27:31):
The wall for if we do anyway.
Speaker 6 (01:27:33):
They let that go on for a number of years,
along with the whole training thing and all the other
things that happened, and incomes Trump on his white steed.
Trump is the populist nationalist savior. He's going to correct everything.
And sure, I mean it was attractive. You know, people
were desperate to hear that maybe we can fix this,
maybe you know, we can, we can do something about it.
(01:27:53):
So yeah, okay, I'm going to vote for the Orange Man,
vote for Trump. Yay America, right, you know, and then
he that's in here and crashes everything. And what ends
up happening when he crashes everything, he will have completely
demoralized and discredited the populist nationalist movement such that anybody
who even tries to say, well, maybe free enterprise.
Speaker 10 (01:28:13):
And you know all of that are a good idea,
It's going to be like Herbert Hoover, Yeah, yeah, for
the Great Depression.
Speaker 6 (01:28:20):
And then they got Franklin Roosevelt. We'll probably end up
with Pete Budajeg for Rados.
Speaker 9 (01:28:26):
Yeah, and you know where has Trump spent so much
time in professional wrestling? I mean, he's even got Lenna
McMahon running the Department of Vitation. It really is crazy,
but he knows how that works. And that's one of
the key ways that he controls a narrative is by
making these heroes and heels stuff. You know, it's all
the stuff about Canada, the fifty first state, that's as
(01:28:48):
phony A's Hull Cogan on the ring, you know. I mean,
all of that was just to create these different issues
out of nothing. We also had something else, so it
was also kind of interesting, also involving a bunch of women.
And that was the tat app. I don't know if
you saw that or not, but this is it was
actually the number one free app on download on Apple
(01:29:12):
before this stuff all blew up. And what happened was
this is another one of these deals where we've got
to have your ID before you can get onto the internet.
And we've got to be very careful because Republicans are
pushing that extremely hard. You know, well, we don't want
kids to be harmed by anything. So we're going to
have to require ID in order to use the internet,
you know, to use these porn sites or whatever it is.
(01:29:33):
Never mind the fact that they're going to be able
to easily get around these restrictions, they're always coming up
with reasons that we've got to have an ID. We've
got to have ID because otherwise we'll have illegal aliens
who are going to be taking your jobs. So we've
got to have mandatory everify and an ID for that,
or we got to have ID. And I agree we
should have ID for voting. That's the one thing I
(01:29:54):
would agree with because it is voluntary, you know, and
if you don't want to vote and get involved in
the professional wrestling match, that I don't have to give
them my ID. But for all the rest of these things,
they're always looking for an excuse to push ID on us. Well,
this app, the t app was a place where women
(01:30:14):
could go in and gossip about men that they had dated,
and it became extremely popular. But they required that you
give them a picture ID to show that you're a
woman and so forth, and they just put all of
this personal information, give us a shot of your driver's
license and all the rest of the stuff. They put
it on a page a URL that was completely no password,
(01:30:37):
no encryption, nothing. If you had that URL, you could
see it all. And guess what, somebody got it and
showed it to everybody. And one of the things that
we can see that was really funny was a guy
just wearing a wig that's his ID, and they led
him in because he, I guess identified as a woman.
But one of the worst case examples of how all
(01:30:58):
the stuff that was supposed to protect us and keep
us safe and secure actually endangers us in our identity,
you know, So all.
Speaker 10 (01:31:05):
This that ID thing is stuck in my craw for
a very long time.
Speaker 6 (01:31:11):
Yeah, you know, I understand that, you know, just as
a moral matter, not a legal matter. You know, if
I were a storekeeper, I probably would not be comfortable
selling beer or booze to a fourteen or fifteen year
old kid. You know that that's just I consider that
to me not appropriate. That's something that I wouldn't personally do.
But there's something upfront us about demanding that a guy
(01:31:33):
our age, for example, I mean, anybody, I mean, there's
no possible way that we could be you know, underage
that we can be anywhere near eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old.
Speaker 10 (01:31:41):
It's ridiculous. Once upon a time, this is a few
years back.
Speaker 6 (01:31:44):
I was attending a precedent in southern California, and I
was at Lax Airport, you know, waiting in the terminal
for my flight to board, and I went up to
the there was a bar there.
Speaker 10 (01:31:54):
I just wanted a.
Speaker 6 (01:31:55):
Cup of coffee because it was too early to have
a drink, and I just sat there having.
Speaker 10 (01:31:58):
A cup of coffee.
Speaker 6 (01:32:00):
This guy, who clearly was in his seventies, you know,
had a white beard, older guy. He sits down and
asks for a drink, and the guy who was manning
the bar, who looked like he was maybe twenty four
or twenty five, you.
Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
Know, demanded ID give this guy.
Speaker 6 (01:32:13):
And the guy, to his credit, said, you know, I
was in Vietnam when you know, you were still in
your diapers.
Speaker 10 (01:32:19):
And then he expleted, deleted and just walked away.
Speaker 6 (01:32:22):
And again I think it's this constant pecking at us,
treating us like stupid duldren, you know, the contempt that
the system shows for us. And also you flip it
around too, these poor people at the cashier, for example,
at a store, you know, they probably know perfectly well
that you're old enough to buy a bottle of wine
with your groceries. Because of store policy, they have to
(01:32:44):
participate in this degrading kobuki, you know, of asking you
to present your ID. We can't even buy cough syrup anymore,
you know, without making completing.
Speaker 10 (01:32:55):
Here's my ID. Look at, I'm old enough, I'm not
a meth head, I'm not a drug addict. I just
freaking want some officer.
Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
But now you have to be treated as if you
were a methad, drug addict whatever, just to buy a
box of officer.
Speaker 9 (01:33:06):
That's right, well, Lance tells me. He says, the UK's
Online Safety Act considers all criticism of illegal immigration to
be eighteen plus content and requires that you register your
face and a government ID in order to be able
to see any content related to it. So if you're
going to criticize their policy taking society down, then they
(01:33:31):
want to completely id you and get you into their files.
It's pretty amazing, but that's where this stuff is all headed.
And as you point out, this is the government corporate
thing that replaced the somewhat limited government that briefly existed
until about April of eighteen sixty five. You have a
statement about Lincoln. He said Lincoln was no more free
(01:33:52):
than the country that he enslaved by the way owned
by the railroads, and by a kind of precursor to
penalanteer Hankerton thing. It's all very depressing, but no less
true for being depressing. You know. I remember years ago
I read an alternative history by Harry Turtledove. It was
called So If You Remain, and in it he changes
(01:34:17):
history slightly so that there's an early end to the
war and the South is able to go its separate way.
And as a result of that, in his novel, Abraham
Lincoln is complete, is despised by everyone and ostracized. But
he makes a comeback a few decades later when this
book picks up and he comes back, guess what, as
(01:34:38):
the Socialist Party candidate, which I thought was really accurate.
I think that's exactly where he would have been. So
he's a socialist to boot as well as a crony
capitalist and under control of the corporations. And that's what
we're seeing today, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
You know?
Speaker 6 (01:34:52):
Tom dolern so we s Certa in a number of
books about the subject. Yes, points out that Lincoln was
was until after the war, after assassination, when what he
calls the Lincoln cult was effected.
Speaker 10 (01:35:04):
Lincoln was widely loathed in the North as well as
the South. There were massive riots in New York City
over the dragon of people to be pushed into this
war in what was then another country.
Speaker 6 (01:35:16):
You know, understandably, these these fresh off the boat Irish immigrants, like,
why I don't want to be dragged all down south
of the Mason Dixon line to get killed. I haven't
got a dog in this fight, you know. And the
whole Americans are so propagandized about that. I mean, ultimately,
the South just wanted to do exactly what the American
colonies wanted to do.
Speaker 10 (01:35:35):
Yes, they want to leave.
Speaker 6 (01:35:37):
They wanted to no longer be under the control of
the central authority, like the most foundational fundamental principle that
Jefferson was writing about and that Tom Payne wrote about,
you know, self determination. We want government. And then Lincoln
had the insolence to talk about government of the people
by the people, except the people of the South.
Speaker 9 (01:35:57):
Yeah, the imposed upon them. Yeah, well they were able to,
with massive propaganda and educational system, completely change history with
all of that stuff, weren't they. Yeah, And that's the
way it always works.
Speaker 6 (01:36:09):
Yet, part of recovering our senses is recovering our history
and getting at the truth of things, and that the
so called civil.
Speaker 10 (01:36:16):
War, which is nothing of the kind.
Speaker 6 (01:36:18):
It was an attempt by the South to secede, a
very different thing, not a civil war. The South did
not want to take over the North, right, not want
to control the whole country. They just wanted to depart,
leave us alone, We're out of here.
Speaker 9 (01:36:29):
Yeah. And the American colonies didn't want to take over England.
They just wanted their independence. And that's what the Southern
states were doing as well. So if that's illegitimate, there
was no legitimacy for the American government to start with.
I think it's a perfectly legitimate thing to do.
Speaker 6 (01:36:44):
Yep, exactly right. And so I think, you know what
we do, you and I and other people do. If
we can just get people to see even one example
of this sort of manipulation of history and truth and facts,
it's like you can't unsee it. No, that's the one
blessing of the whole COVID thing. I think a lot
of people have been disabused of the falsehood that the experts,
(01:37:05):
the authorities, that they're well meaning, that they have our
best interests at heart and they can be trusted.
Speaker 10 (01:37:10):
We know now here not to be trusted.
Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (01:37:13):
Yeah, for years we talked about the harm from mercury
in vaccines and they said, oh, we took that out
in two thousand and two, two thousand and three, No
they didn't. It's still in the flu shots. And they
just had they just revealed that and just said, well, we're
going to stop doing it in the flu shots. I
don't know if I believe that or not. You know,
we look at it, but you know, they're keeping their
fingers crossed, like, well, what we meant was the childhood vaccines.
(01:37:34):
We met the MMR and other things like that. But
you know, they manipulate the information. And you know, as
we see all this stuff coming together, and the technocrat
billionaires that have completely owned Trump. I don't know if
you saw this or not, but Peter Thiel and Alex Karp,
who runs a pollunteer, they've been they have been tied
(01:37:58):
together with their venture capital firms and now they want
to come out and start making movies. And they were
talking about that, the kind of movies that they want
to make, and of course they're all going to be
very jinguistic, militaristic, high tech, you know, and they'll throw
in your subservience to the name of patriotism as well.
But this is the next big thing coming.
Speaker 10 (01:38:21):
They're unwatchable. Hollywood is collapsing. Yeah, yeah, they're occasionally.
Speaker 6 (01:38:25):
Exceptions, but for the most part, the direk that they
are putting out.
Speaker 10 (01:38:28):
Is so awful has entertained aside politics.
Speaker 6 (01:38:31):
It's poorly written, it's poorly acted, It's full of clumsy,
cliched propaganda of political purpose.
Speaker 10 (01:38:38):
People are tired of it. They don't watch it anymore.
Speaker 9 (01:38:41):
They grab you by the lapel and yell at you
about LGBT and DEI and all the rest of the stuff.
So there is perfect There is a big opportunity for
somebody comes in. As they said, they want to do
things like top Gun, Hunt for Red October and stuff
like that. But of course they'll put their technocracy spin
on it as well. You know, anybody could come in
(01:39:02):
and start doing movies that are better in terms of acting,
a characterization, plot, you name it, and not hector people
over this left wing nonsense and be successful. The key
is are they going to come in and remake things
to come? You know HG. Well's book Shape of Things
to Come? If you remember that movie from the nineteen thirties,
(01:39:22):
that basically shows the kind of fascistic technocracy that they
wish to put in, and Elon Musk's grandfather completely bought
into that, and that's one of the reasons they wound
up in South Africa, tried to tried to in state
that instead of the former government that they had in Canada.
(01:39:44):
But that's really where these guys are going. And I
think they're going to be pretty successful, and that should
worry us because that's a different kind of threat that's
going to be coming in. It's going to take people
a while to wake up.
Speaker 10 (01:39:55):
In my house, I'm bullish and positive actually about this topic.
Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
And I'll tell you why. Look at how Joe Rogan,
and he's just one example. You and I are another example.
Look at how people like us have managed to sort
of get around the mainstream media as it's full.
Speaker 10 (01:40:12):
Rogan's got a much bigger audience than seem people have
had it enough.
Speaker 6 (01:40:16):
This whole thing has just reached its critical mass, and
I think with regard to movies, independent studios that come
up with quality stuff that people like.
Speaker 10 (01:40:25):
You know, there's now a vehicle for getting that out there.
I agree, maybe we don't have the media.
Speaker 9 (01:40:30):
I agree, it's just going to be a different it's
going to be a different subtext for a different way
to come at us. They're going to be coming at
us from another angle. I mean, you take a look
at the collapse of the late night talk shows that
long ago stopped being funny and just hectored people with lectures.
It's like, who in the world was watching that stuff anyway?
It turns out they weren't. They were losing forty million
(01:40:50):
a year on Cobet's show. But you know, so there
is a big opportunity for somebody who wants to come
in and do it differently. But then you've got to
be careful what are they trying to sell you, even
if they do it subtly, because you know, Hollywood for
the longest time has been selling very subtle, very subtle
philosophy and a worldview and the rest of this stuff.
(01:41:13):
And if you just accept that without looking at it critically,
that is what has had a big role in changing
our society goes back to the Franklin school. I mean,
they've been working on these types of things, very calculating
the way they do it. The problem with them was
that they became a little bit too confident and they
jumped the shark. You know, they did it right in
(01:41:34):
your face, and they didn't really care anymore of this.
If it was more subtle, it'd be more effective, and
I think that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 10 (01:41:41):
I think that.
Speaker 6 (01:41:42):
Trust is probably the most valuable currency that there is,
and once you lose it, it's almost recoverable. And so
now I think people are much more tuned into that.
They want to feel as though that they can trust
whoever it is that they're listening to that they're feeling
and if they get a whiff of shading, a lot
of people get immediately turned off by that, and good,
(01:42:03):
there should be consequences for shadiness.
Speaker 10 (01:42:06):
Yeah, you agree for being a propagandist, and that's healthy.
Speaker 6 (01:42:10):
You know, people talk about a high trust society, and
a high trust society is a good thing. But at
the same time, you can't be naive. You can't just assume.
Speaker 10 (01:42:19):
That everybody's benevolent and you know, there's nothing harmful to this.
I know it's a little more work to.
Speaker 6 (01:42:25):
Have to investigate and check things out and make a determination,
but ultimately that's how we get back to some kind
of an adult, healthy society instead of this fearful, infantilized
society that we built up around us.
Speaker 9 (01:42:38):
That's right, Well, Patrick Henry said in his day, he said,
trust no man, but mind them down with the chains
of the Constitution. If they anything to abide by the Constitution,
they certainly don't deserve your trust. But you don't put
blind trust in anybody. And it's just part of critical thinking.
That's a key part of it. And so I think
that's one of the things that we need to be very,
(01:42:59):
very aware and one of the things that's always concerned
me about Trump. That's why I see the Epstein stuff
as very good, because at least some people are having
second thoughts about blind trust in Trump. The biggest issue
is people will come back and say, well, if we
can't trust Trump, who can we trust. It's like, no
one trust yourself, trust your neighbors. Start working at the
(01:43:22):
local level, you know, we just had a story about
how on the sly they wanted to do these experiments
to block out the sun. Well, where did it get stopped.
It got stopped at the local government level. There are
things that we can do. We need to understand the
usual suspects of the federal government with its unlimited amounts
of money, and they're trying to keep that thing going,
(01:43:44):
and I think they will with a stable coin, but
we need to understand that, especially if we use the constitution,
there's a lot that can be done at the local level,
and it's harder for them to control it. That's why
they keep trying to move everything to the federal level
so that they can get rid of any of these restrictions.
We saw that what Gleif was sitting there now talking
(01:44:05):
about moving things to the federal level on other pesticides
and basically giving them a big farm a deal in
terms of legal immunity. And we know exactly why they're
doing that, because they can buy a few people in
Washington a lot more easily than they can buy people
at the local level. And so you know, it's just
as you point out, it's you know, people who are
(01:44:28):
not a part of the system, and you have to
look at what these people have done and actually hold
them accountable. I know for the longest time. One of
the key weaknesses of Trump on this thing is not
only did he campaign on it, but even before he
was elected the first time, he had all this Q
and nonsense, that's what I call it, about how, oh,
he's gonna he's going to wrap up all these pedophile
(01:44:50):
rings that are out there and all the rest of
this stuff. I thought, really, with his background, they sold
that for so long, you know, that's why it's so
much deeper. It's not just a campaign promise. They had
this entire mythology about how he was the white knight
who was going to come in and stop these known
pedophile rings. They should have talked more about the actual pedophiles,
like on Capitol Hill. Remember Dennis Astered.
Speaker 10 (01:45:12):
Oh my gosh, yeah, we forgotten about that.
Speaker 9 (01:45:14):
The longest serving Speaker of the House for the Republicans,
And he was picked because he was a pedophile wrestling
coach and then made Speaker of the House. And you know,
while he was Speaker of the House, they had two
pedophile scandals. You remember the one with Mark Foley, the
House page.
Speaker 6 (01:45:29):
Scandalnie Frank red boys from his townhouse in Georgetown.
Speaker 9 (01:45:34):
That's right, The Hastart thing. You know, it was Hastart.
I remember him going on with Rustling Ball and just
poop pooing all of it and saying, oh, they're only
coming after folding these other guys, because that's what the
Democrats are doing there. It's purely political. There's nothing real here. Well,
it was real, and Dennis Aster was eventually exposed as
(01:45:55):
being a pedophile. And the most interesting thing about that
whole thing to me was that after it was all known,
what did they do about it? Nothing, zero, zip, nada. Right,
they could have gotten rid of the Statute of Limitations,
which is incredibly short for pedophilia, and if they had
done that, they could have prosecuted Haster. Instead, what they
(01:46:17):
did was a manufactured a crime so he could send
him to jail and satisfy people. And they're thinking that
they're doing something about the pedophile networks when the whole
system was set up to make sure they did nothing
about the pedophile networks. And so, yeah, nothing is going
to happen with this thing with Trump, But it's a
little bit more cynicism and critical thought is going to
(01:46:37):
be something that'll be very good if that can get into.
Speaker 6 (01:46:40):
The mind the world Trump's comments, you know, the arrogance
and the narcissism that is his probably greatest weakness, I think, yeah,
and it makes him do things that just from his
point of view are stupid. You know, I can call
a support of stupid is stupid politically, yeah, you know,
and yet he did that. Know, just that you can
(01:47:01):
see it like snarling contempt that he has even for
the people who support him, the moment they don't support
him abjectly.
Speaker 10 (01:47:08):
The minute that they raise a question, that they take
off the red hat and say wait a.
Speaker 9 (01:47:12):
Minute, uh, then he comes after them, doesn't he.
Speaker 6 (01:47:15):
It's amazing, Hey, slave literally slavish, obsequious, like you know,
kurd dog rolling on its back, kick me kind of,
you know, follower followership. And that brings me to I
think this this other point that I wanted to make.
I think all of us, whatever your politics, stop looking
for secular heroes and saviors.
Speaker 10 (01:47:34):
Yes, we see ourselves and that's how.
Speaker 9 (01:47:36):
We absolutely stop looking for these heroes. It's it's idolatry
and it's stupidity. It's amazing. You know how many times
as one person is that you're talking about Trump's narcissism.
You know, all these guys in politics are narcissists, and
especially all these billionaires. Just take a look at Musk right,
it was a clash of egos that were coming after
each other. But of all the narcissists, you know, Trump
(01:47:59):
does stick out in his own special category, doesn't he?
Speaker 10 (01:48:03):
He really does. Yeah, I mean he's a tour to force.
Speaker 9 (01:48:07):
Well, Eric is great talking to you, always is great
talking to you, Eric petersautos dot com is a place
to go for honest reviews. And you've got comments about
about new cars and we didn't get into the oil
the underneath pan which makes maintenance more difficult and oil
leaks more difficult to know about and all the rest
(01:48:28):
of the stuff. But it's a lot of practical articles
in there. The perils of the PAN is that article.
I love your site, always have loved it, and you
focus on mobility and liberty. We can't have one without
the other, can we. And it's great to have an
honest review. And if you're going to get shut down
by car company for an honest review, and now you've
been proven right to them as well. But I don't
(01:48:50):
expect they're going to restore your credentials. I hope they
do but you can still see again.
Speaker 10 (01:48:57):
It's heartbreaking to me because I'm a car guy. I
love cars.
Speaker 6 (01:48:59):
Yeah, and you know, cities at one time made brilliant cars. Yeah,
they had for mentions, their inline six cylinder engine, their
V their V twelves, remember those just magnificent things. And
they just decided to give that all the way and
to basically make another Tesla with a cheap, plastic three
pointed star on the hood.
Speaker 9 (01:49:18):
That's right. Yeah, I'm I'm very negative on the survival
ability of the entire German auto industry because it's not
just their craven subservience to that aspect of the Green
New Deal, but the Green New Deal from manufacturing in
general in Germany is just sabotaging them, whether it's some
(01:49:39):
manufacturing of steel or the ability to be able to
compete in terms of cost on energy. They have the
governments have put the businesses in Germany and France and
especially the UK at such a competitive disadvantage. I don't
see how they're going to be able to do any
kind of manufacturing, especially something like automobiles and steel and
that type of stuff. They've basically just given them monopoly
(01:50:03):
or do optly. I should say to India and China
with the with the carbon mandates that they have on it.
But again, it's always great talking to you, and thank
you for being such a great friend. I really do
appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (01:50:18):
Eric, Thank you. You know, I appreciate our friendship and
I appreciate you having me on the show.
Speaker 9 (01:50:23):
Well, thank you, thank you, have a good day. And
before we leave, I just want to thank everyone for
all the support in the last couple of days. Thank
you so much for supporting the show. We would not
be here without you. Thank you for your prayers. And
let's go out with a clip from Dennis Haster just
as a reminder of what this whole thing. Thank you, Eric,
(01:50:44):
Eric Peters Auto's di com.
Speaker 5 (01:50:46):
That's shocking.
Speaker 8 (01:51:54):
Analyzing the globalists next move And now the deevid Nut Show. Well,
(01:52:14):
welcome back.
Speaker 9 (01:52:15):
I wanted to get on and let you know that
Travis is feeling sick. Please pray, but there's something that
I had to come on to talk about, so I
guess we could call this an emergency broadcast. So I'm
not able to hear myself in here. But I didn't
put up the rotating traffic light like Alex does. I
(01:52:39):
apologize but I think this is very, very important because
Trump is going full dictator on emergencies. He has done
more emergency executive orders than any other president. And this
is a trend we're seeing with each successive administration, whether
it's Democrat or Republican. And I don't think that the
(01:53:00):
two parties have a different agenda. I think this is
a left right march. I think what we're seeing here
is that Biden and others will prepare what Trump has
an excuse then to come in, although I don't think
that he's got an excuse to do what he's currently doing.
Just as Trump sold the pandemic so that he could
sell a vaccine, so as we look at the fact
(01:53:22):
they've talked about DC Home Rule and sending in the
National Guard. Look, he oughtit use the DC Home Rule
Act to change the people who are running the city,
to change the police chief, and other things like that.
But it is not warranted to create martial law. And
I think that when we look at Trump's first administration,
(01:53:44):
why would we be surprised that He's going to do
martial law again. If you go back and look at MAGA,
I think Marshall America go again. That's basically what they
call the guy. We like what you did. We don't
care that you locked us down under medical martial law law.
We don't care about the massive amounts of money that
you shoveled over to pharmaceutical companies and the tyranny that
(01:54:07):
you created, and the fact that you trash the constitution.
Trashed are God given rights. No, we're going to vote
for you again, and you are our savior. So Trump
has announced that he's going to invote the DC Home
Rule to place the DC Metropolitan Police Department under federal
control and to deploy the National Guard again. There is
no riot going on in Washington, d C. There's no
(01:54:31):
weather emergency, there's nothing like that. You basically just need
to use the authority to get rid of the people
that are there, but use the current structure that's there
and the rule of law. That is the key thing.
So Trump says on true social DC will be liberated today. Crime, savagery, filth,
(01:54:52):
and scum will disappear. I will make our capital great again.
The days of ruthlessly killing or hurting innocent p people
are over. I quickly fix the border. Zero illegals in
the last three months. And so the question is you know, yeah, okay,
what cost did you fix the border? I've had this
(01:55:13):
argument with people over this on social media when I
say that, yes, human rights and the rights in the
Decoration of Independence apply to foreigners in our country, even
if they are here illegally, and if you disagree with that,
go ahead and unfollow me. Many people have. But I'll
tell you this, if you're going to deny human rights
(01:55:35):
to human beings, if you're going to deny the rule
of law and the constitution for them, they will deny
it for you. He's already done it five years ago.
What does it take to get these people to wake up?
I don't understand. Let me just remind you that the
worst criminal is somebody who sits there with the authority
of government behind him. There is no worse criminal than
(01:55:58):
somebody who has an army. There's no worse criminal than
somebody who thumbs his nose of the constitution like it
was his marriage vows to his former wives. If you
want to call him that, it's just amazing to me.
So executive order yet again. He filed one earlier this
year to say DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force call
(01:56:21):
for increasing law enforcement. Presidents in public areas. This guy
wants a police surveillance state. He's pouring money hand over
fist into pollunteer and these surveillance agencies. He's telling the
police to ignore the law, to ignore your rights, to
ignore everybody's rights. He's creating concentration camps across the country.
(01:56:42):
What does it take to wake up these maga fools.
Some people can be fooled constantly, and they're the biggest problem.
They're a bigger problem than the guy that they're empowering.
He's had a group of one hundred, yethes took over
the partner DC Capital, firing shots, launching fireworks, riding dirt bikes. Well, okay, again,
(01:57:03):
replace the political leadership, replaced the police, but you don't
set up martial law. That's a very different thing. Reforming
the police department, reforming civil government is not the same
as martial law. He always takes the problems that Biden
has lobbed to him like a softball pitch, and he
(01:57:25):
takes it over the top. And that's what he's doing here.
He's going to have martial law in America. Go again,
get you love it. When it happened five years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:57:33):
We somehow managed to have civilization without martial law for
quite a while.
Speaker 9 (01:57:38):
Yeah, I know, anyway, activating the National Guard crime is bad,
But there is no riot that is going on. There
is no weather emergency that's taken out power and all
that kind of stuff. There is no emergency. And it
says fake emergencies again, made it sound like we got
some kind of emergency broadcast Alex does all the time.
(01:58:01):
It is really an emergency broadcast about Trump's emergencies. The
local officials argue that crime is actually decreasing. Well, I
don't think that is the case. But one way or
the other, there are ways to handle this without martial law.
This is not a binary decision. It's a stupid decision.
It's a dangerous decision for Trump. The effort to take
(01:58:23):
over public safety in Washington reflects an escalation of his
aggressive approach to law enforcement and his utter contempt for
the rule of law, especially the Constitution. I refuse to
call the man president if he has divorced himself from
the Constitution. He has divorced himself from any authority that
(01:58:44):
he has in that office, and he doesn't deserve the title.
I will not refer to Donald as president. He's an occupant.
He's a usurper. He's an authoritarian dictator trying to rule
by emergency, just like Biden. By the way, before Trump,
I said, Biden was the most authoritarian politician I'd ever
(01:59:05):
seen in my life. He had his fingerprints all over
the mandatory minimums and all the other abuses sylvilasse At
for for sure, Rico, all the rest of that stuff.
Biden was there from the very beginning, using the drug
war to establish a police state. And I remember, and
I've said this many times, when he was head of
the Judiciary Committee during Clarence Thomas's confirmation, he constantly haraigned
(01:59:30):
Clarence Thomas. Over Clarence Thomas talking about natural law and
natural rights. He hated that concept. Well, that's the concept
that the Declaration of Independence was written on. Biden hated
the thing, which he couldn't remember, of course, And I said,
he is the person has more contempt for our liberties
(01:59:52):
than any person I've seen in my lifetime. But now
we have Trump, because the two of them are like
a tag team match. And the interesting thing to me
is that these partisan people, they can see it. The
Republicans can see it in Biden and the Democrats can
see it in Trump, but they can't see it in
their own guy, because they're the problems. This is why
(02:00:14):
the founders hated factions, hated political parties. Tom said, what
you need is rules and regulations, and you need the
right people to implement them. Well, that's not the military,
and that's not to federalize the police. And maybe what
we do is we start obeying the rules and regulations
from the top down. How about that, Donald, You know
(02:00:37):
the John Birch Society, and I remember, long before other
people caught on, they understood the danger of federalizing the police,
and I'm hoping that they're going to take this on.
I've not seen anything from them yet about this, but
that was something that they could clearly see happening. When
I was a child and we had all these that
(02:00:58):
would support your local shafre, support your local police, all
these bumper stickers. They even had a James Garner comedy
Western that would support your local sheriff, showing that. It
became something of a meme even without social media, and
it is there for a good reason. We do not
want to have the police federalized. So the military is
(02:01:21):
preparing to deploy national Guard in DC. This is martial law,
and the lockdowns that Trump did last time he was
in office was martial law as well. Trump is expected
to announce a news conference at the White House that
up to several hundred DC National Guardsmen will be sent
to support law enforcement officers in the Capitol. No other
(02:01:45):
details were available on Monday. Well, we'll see what happens.
Maybe it'll be a taco. Let's hope that Trump will
chicken out. But I don't think so, because he's also
boasting about how he wants to do this in Democrat cities.
He says, he throws out name drops New York, Chicago,
and LA. You know we're coming for d C. Now
(02:02:06):
we're going to come for the big leftist cities as well.
Trump said his administration is going to look at deploying
US military to other American cities, including Chicago, New York,
and LA. At a press conference where he announced that
he was taking federal control of the police department in Washington,
d C. That's fine, but the National Guard and claiming
(02:02:29):
that this is an emergency is the issue. Trump then
revealed he's considering a similar move in other cities, including
New York and I say that it's fine because d
C is not like New York, Chicago, LA. The District
of Columbia does not have a representation. This is a
big thing, you know. We want to have a person
(02:02:49):
in Congress and all the rest. It was carved out specifically,
so it was not a state government. It was and
is under the authority of the federal government. That's why
I say, taking over the police department, taking over the
political positions in the city, I don't really have a
problem with that. But now he wants to use that
as an example in a phony emergency, just like he
(02:03:12):
did five years ago with this phony pandemic. He wants
to use that as a pattern to go into other
cities that he doesn't like. He says, then I'm going
to look at New York in a little while. He
went on to note that his administration is considering sending
the military into Chicago, and he mocked the Democratic governor
of Illinois, like Pritzker is eminently mockable. When you look
(02:03:38):
at a picture of him and his doppelganger cousin, who
is now a traineee. It's hilarious. And that's what that
family has done. They've got the Hyatt family. They're all
filthy rich, and they have focused on trying to make
America filthy. They have really pushed this training agenda family has.
(02:04:00):
But Trump says, we have a mayor there who's totally incompetent,
tealling about Chicago, an incompetent man, and we have an
incompetent governor there. Pritzker is incompetent. His family threw him
out of the business, and he ran for governor. Now
I understand he wants to be president. I noticed that
he lost a little weight, so now he has a chance.
It's all about appearance and reality TV and programming and
(02:04:23):
all the rest of the stuff for Trump, nothing about principles.
That's why he doesn't have a problem with phony emergencies
and martial law. He said, hopefully la is watching as well. Look,
if the Democrats want to impeach him for something, impeach
him for this type of thing. If he does it,
none of this nonsense like Russia Gate. The impeachments that
(02:04:47):
they had against him the first time were nonsense, and
it was as ridiculous as his criticisms of pritzgarg There's
plenty to criticize Pritzker about much of what you could
criticize Pritzker for was the kind of things that he
did in twenty twenty that were virtually identical to what
Trump was doing. So yeah, criticize him for that. But look,
(02:05:09):
if somebody is just going to throw the Constitution away
and wants to set up surveillance, wants to lock down
our free speech at the demands of a foreign government
Israel or unregistered foreign agent's like APAC, impeach him for that.
Of course, they want to impeach him for his catering
(02:05:31):
to APAK, but they should impeach him for the federalizing
of the police and the rest of this stuff. I've
got a couple of comments here before we take a
quick break. Hibou says, Dave's right. Trump literally keeps claiming
fake emergencies to do whatever he wants. Where did he
get that idea? COVID rings a bell? Yeah, and guess
(02:05:52):
what he got away with it. He got away with it.
The Democrats never came after him for that, and just
like Craft and Republicans never came after James Clapper for
lying to Congress about their surveillance of American citizens without
a search warrant, and they let that expire with the
(02:06:12):
statute limitations, and yet look at what is happening now
with the Republicans. They're filing referrals to the Department of
Justice over perjury for Jerome Powell because he had some
of the details wrong about their extravagant remodeling of the
Federal Reserve building. Fire him for the extravagant remodeling. Don't
(02:06:35):
fire him for lying about the details of the extravagant remodeling.
Fire them because the Federal Reserve Act is an abomination.
It was put in as a trick, nice the story.
Let us hope that the National Guard will observe their oath. Unfortunately,
most good military have been purged. That's what Trump did it.
(02:06:55):
It's amazing to watch the progression of this stuff. It
really was land out in advance. You know, you get
the good people out of the military, then you declare
martial law. You're absolutely right, Jason Cecilia fourteen. David, we
may as well have Pallenteer as president. Oh wait, we do, JD.
Pallanteer Trump's handler, and then the shadows will come forth
(02:07:16):
when they decide. I agree. Yeah, he is absolutely connected
to Peter Thiel. These people, right Overture says the police
were hired by the city of d C. Trump can't
constitutionally fire those cops. Well, I think that when you
look at the district of Columbia, and I haven't looked
at it carefully enough, But it's not like a state
(02:07:39):
or local government. Congress has say over certain things that
happen there, and of course Congress isn't going to do anything.
Congress has is being led by this sycophant Mike Johnson,
who lets Trump do whatever Trump wants. They will never
question anything he does. Nica Storm says, why can't Magus
(02:08:00):
see that all of his campaign promises when his first
term never happened, even though he says they did. And
we're seeing that again, aren't we. Well, we're gonna take
a quick break and we'll be right back. Stay with us.
Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 9 (02:09:22):
Well, earlier, Travis talked about the the kind of the
fascist model of governing that is happening with Trump and
the fact that he is setting up capitalism moved towards
state capitalism with American characteristics. And I've always thought it
(02:09:43):
was very interesting to see China as a mixture of that.
Of course, the Wall Street Journal guy said, you know,
people always said that China would move towards the American
model as things went along, but no, they didn't, and
why because of the authoritarianism that they had. You know,
it was moving in that direction, and then they put
the brakes on at Chentleman's Square, and then they stepped
(02:10:04):
on the gas to come back the other direction. But
you can have an authoritarian communist party and you can
have crony capitalism and corruption at the same time. China
is an interesting state because it is a mixture of
communism and fascism. We talk about fascism, I talk about
it economically in the sense that it's a fusion of
(02:10:30):
the government and of corporations. You don't get to open
up a business or have a successful business in China
unless you're in with the Chinese Communist Party. And if
you're one of the crooks and the club, like Guo,
this guy that's hooked up with Steve Bannon in the past.
You know, he became a billionaire and then he fell
(02:10:52):
out with the club and he had to flee China
and they've been after him since that. But that is
the kind of model. But you see happening of the
Trump administration, all of these billionaires buying influence with him,
giving him gifts, and all the rest of this stuff.
It's disgusting to see this kind of corruption. I think
this administration is setting a whole new pattern, and I'm
(02:11:14):
worried that it's going to stick around after Trump is gone.
But it is a kind of corrupt fascist authoritarianism. And
of course, when you think about fascism, the popular idea
is that fascism was all about nationalism, hypernationalism. Well you
see that in China. You see that with Trump as well.
(02:11:34):
It's not just the merger of state and corporations. And
as part of this, you see the massive amount of
personal enrichment that Trump has already made in the first
six months. As this is from Wall Street. This is
Wall Street journal head to report on this, but dizzying.
(02:11:54):
Some experts alarmed the staggering fortune that Trump has raked
in as president first six months. He's elevated self dealing
to an unprecedented level during his presidency, according to a
new deep dive by David Kirkkirkpatrick and The New Yorker
actually said Wall Street term it was a new Yorker
that was published yesterday. Experts are alarmed by his apparent
(02:12:17):
lack of concern for how this appears to the public.
Why should he care. The Democrats hate him so much personally,
there wasn't anything that he could do that they wouldn't
take exception to. And the GOP partisans love him so
much that there isn't anything that he could do that
they wouldn't excuse. Kirkpatrick estimated that Trump has raked in
(02:12:38):
three point four billion in presidential profits. He calls out
a dizzying sum. When Trump is first elected in twenty sixteen,
there were extensive conflicts, ranging from Secret Service paying for
services at his properties to the Trump Hotel in DC
being patronized by foreign dignitaries looking to curry favor. But
(02:13:00):
back then, even as a president, refused to release his
tax returns. At least Trump wanted to create the impression
he was working through the ethical issues. And I said
this at the time. I said, they want the tax
returns because he's got very complicated tax returns and they
could use them and portray them anyway they wanted to.
I mean, that would be just a target rich environment
(02:13:22):
to go through that stuff. That's a criticism not of Trump.
That's a criticism of the income tax structure, and folks,
he's not going to do anything to get rid of that.
He's still talking about how he's going to give permanent
tax breaks here and change this tax code over there.
There's no restructure of this, and they're not going to
(02:13:42):
make enough money. They want you to think that they're
going to make enough money off of tariffs to support
this gargantuan government. They don't have enough money combined from
tariffs and the income tax to cover the money that
they're spending. The spending is the problem. And if they're
going to continue to get government involved in things for
(02:14:04):
which it has no legitimate authority, we're going to continue
to run up these massive deficits, per Trump's tax lawyer
at the time, Sherry Dillon. She said since Trump's star
turn on the NBC reality show of The Apprentice, the
Trump Organization has mainly sold the use of his name.
She said most of its profits came from developers who
(02:14:27):
flew the Trump flag over the building that he didn't
build or own, or from businesses that used his name
to sell shirts, mattresses, or pizza. By the way, there
was article that was picked up on mainstream press, the
anti Trump press, and they said, maga's eating its own
that Ice had come in and taken out the owner
(02:14:51):
of a business that sold Trump Burgers and other things
like that, piggyback on that. And I looked at that
and I thought, you know, I think that is as
much about his infringement on the name as it is
his infringement on the country, coming here illegally. But nevertheless, anyway,
if Trump tried to offload his whole company, don't explain
(02:15:14):
a buyer might overpay in order to curry favor with
the president, or, just as worrisome, might demean the highest
office in the land by crassly cashing in on the
president's name, Trump and his family. Dylan declared he would
never do anything that might be perceived to be exploitative
of the office of presidency. But she's long gone from
(02:15:35):
representing the Trump family, and this article says now even
the pretense of guardrails is off. A two billion dollar
investment from a fund controlled by the Saudi Crown prints
a luxury jet from the emir of Qatar, profits from
at least five different ventures peddling crypto fees from an
(02:15:59):
exclusive club stocked with cabinet officials and named the Executive Branch. Meanwhile,
Trump Junior said in a recent meeting, when it comes
to foreign deals, the Trumps will no longer lock themselves
quote in a proverbial padded room, because it almost doesn't matter.
(02:16:19):
They're going to hit you no matter what. Well, he's
right about that, That's what I said. He gets away
with this, and he's taking us into this dictatorship and
this kind of corrupt crony capitalism because they know that
no matter what, the Left is going to criticize him.
And we also know, don't we that no matter what,
(02:16:42):
MAGA will always make an excuse for him. They never
end with the excuses. They're constantly going. As a matter
of fact, when Trump said that he was going to
Alaska as he was talking about martial law and DC
and he's got the Secretary of Defense there as well
as Pam Bondy, Department of Justice Attorney General, he says this.
Speaker 5 (02:17:08):
And it's embarrassing for me to be up here.
Speaker 11 (02:17:09):
You know, I'm going to see Putin.
Speaker 9 (02:17:11):
I'm going to Russia on Friday. I'm going to nia
about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once
beautiful capital was Yeah, he went full Sarah Palin again,
say Russia from here, Well, you know, he's going to Alaska.
(02:17:31):
He said, he's going to Russia. And uh, if you
look at that tweet that I pulled back from underneath
it are all these people from MAGA making excuses for him. Well,
of course, because it's so close to Russia, is like
going to Russia and we got it from Russia and
all the rest of this stuff. It's just that no
matter what he does, even something as minor as that,
(02:17:54):
And of course the left is trying to make a
big deal out of that, saying listen, he's not mentally sound.
You know, he doesn't even know where he's going. He's
calling Alaska Russia and that's an overstep. But you know
they don't say that. Instead they try, oh, yeah, he's
absolutely right, it is Russia. This is the part of
(02:18:15):
some blinders on both sides that are going to wind
up getting us all living in a dictatorship. Here. Ethics
Reform attorney Fred Wertheimer said, when it comes to using
his public office to amass personal profits, Trump is a unicorn.
No one else even comes close. He said, he said,
(02:18:35):
we'll never really know just how much Trump profited from
the presidency, although it certainly is in the billions. He
doesn't talk about it anymore. He may be the greatest
con artist in American history. Well, I would definitely agree
with that assessment. The original article from David Kirkpatrick was
(02:18:56):
titled how much is Trump profiting off of the presidency?
And it truly is amazing when you look at it. Well,
we're going to take a quick break here, and by
the way, before we leave this, Don Jr. Is also
debuting direct sales product for pharmaceutical companies. Yeah, his daddy
(02:19:19):
set the stage for that, didn'ty How much did he
get paid under the table for pushing out mRNA and
for channeling money to Pfizer and to Moderna. That was
disgusting the amount of money that he threw at them
to make that poison. And it was also disgusting to
see how his own people had. You know, we're out
(02:19:40):
there pushing people to the cult to inject the kool
aid into their arms. So I wonder how much they
got kicked back from warp speed. But that's what Don
Junior is doing now, So you think they're really going
to pull on pharmaceutical companies when the Trump fail only
is making money so much money from pharmaceutical companies. And look,
(02:20:04):
he wants to have direct sale products for pharmaceutical companies
so that the pharmaceutical you won't have the ask your
doctor anymore tagline on there instead go this website and
will sell to you directly. There's never enough money for them,
and they don't want you to have any information. You know,
I was shut down off of these different sites, off
(02:20:25):
of Spotify and others because we'll be talking about what
was happening in pharmaceutical products and they want to keep
that quiet. They have different things that they want to
cover up now, but it's always about free speech. They
want to sell products directly to patients direct sell platforms,
and it could be an example of potential conflicts of interest.
(02:20:48):
They say, well, of course it is. Of course it
is Don Junior is going to sell the stuff. And
you know they'll go back and they'll say, well, yeah,
look at the difference. You know, Hunter Biden actually used
the pharmaceutic or maybe non pharmaceuticals. But you know, the
Democrats have got Hunter Biden and we've got Rick Perry
who's now made it his life mission to sell this
(02:21:13):
drug that is like a truly is a pharm of key.
It truly is sorcery and the listenergenic to rewire your brain.
He says, that is now going to be his life's work. Well,
good for you. Commerce department meanwhile, is threatening to take
down ownership of Harvard's patents. You know, why are we
(02:21:36):
giving nine billion, nine billion with a bee to Harvard?
That is an outrage. There is no authority in the
constitution to give a single penny to universities. Harvard was
the first university, and it was a private university. I
remember we were in North Carolina. University of North Carolina
(02:21:58):
at Chapel Hill was the first state university founded quite
some time after Harvard, a private university. Was when this
country was founded, we didn't have the government involved in
funding universities and the rest of stuff. That's why you
can't afford to go to college anymore, because they have
subsidized it. Whenever you subsidize it, it gets more expensive,
(02:22:18):
and so even the state schools are getting virtually unaffordable,
but certainly the private schools. So they get nine billion
dollars a year and nobody Republican Democrat has a problem
with that in Washington, until they criticized Israel, until they
allowed free speech on their campus criticizing a foreign government.
(02:22:38):
Now they want to take the money away for that,
and if they were to crack down on that, they'll
be more than happy to let Harvard continue to get
the nine billion dollars plus collect royalties off of patents
that they have produced after the subsidies from the government.
So the government gives them nine billion dollars as much
as this is in terms of research grants. Research grants
(02:23:00):
produce a product, Harvard keeps the products. How do we
stop that kind of corruption? It is truly outrageous, But
of course when you look at the National Institute's of
Health or Fautuise, those people get to keep the royalties
their employees of the federal government, and if they develop
(02:23:23):
anything there at the NIH that they could sell, they
get to keep the patents for that. That's part of
the outrage, and of course there's been no investigation of that.
People are constantly talking about, Well, show us the documents
for Oklahoma City, or show us the documents for the
jfk assassination, or show us the documents for the Epstein FI. Hey,
how about this, Just show us the documents for who
(02:23:45):
got the royalties and the nih Could we even know that? No,
everything in Washington is hidden from you while they want
to use paleteer to make your life an open book
to them, even being able to predict what you're going
to do. Federal government is looking at Harvard's University's patent rights.
The Department of Commerce is initiating a so called march
(02:24:07):
in process under the bay Dole Act, a federal patent
policy allowing recipients of federal funds to retain patent rights
over their inventions made with federal funding. The march in rights, however,
give the federal government the authority to grant licenses of
such patents to third parties under certain conditions where federally
(02:24:30):
funded interventions are not being adequately developed or utilized for
the public good. So all they could do is they
could go in and they could make these patents public
domain essentially, but nobody else has done that before. Lucky
Lutnick said that Harvard has quote failed to live up
(02:24:51):
to its obligations to the American tax payer. It doesn't
have any obligations to the American tax payer, because there's
no obligations of Lutnik defined in the Constitution, because it
was never intended that they would be given nine billion dollars.
That's the problem. These people always address a secondary tertiary problem,
(02:25:12):
and they'll never get back to the root cause, which
is ignoring the Constitution, which is the rule of law.
It says in breach of the statutory, regulatory and contractual
requirements tied to Harvard's federally funded research programs. Well, you
know what if they got statutes or regulations or contracts,
if they don't align with the Constitution, which they don't.
(02:25:34):
The Tenth Amendment says, if you anything that's powers that
have not been delegated to you by the States, you
cannot infer or create those. And so that's basically what
they've done, whether they did statutes or regulatory stuff or contracts.
So they're talking about the federally funded research programs and
(02:25:55):
taking the intellectual intellectual property that was the result of that.
Lutnick said, the federal government intends to license Harvard's patents
to third parties, and he's probably got some friends who
are lined up to make money off of this. Don't
you think march right in there with that, the march
in rights under the bay Dole Act have not been
(02:26:16):
exercised by any federal agency in the forty years since
it's enactment. And just stop and think about this. What
they're saying is if we give you federal funds to
do research and you come up with an electoral property
or patents or whatever, and you make profits off of that,
then we can come in under certain circumstances and say
(02:26:37):
we're going to take the patent away from you and
make it public domain. There's the bay Dole Act, and
of course is Bob Dole was birch By and Bob
Dole are the ones who put this together. It ignores
the fact that there's no constitutional authority for the federal
government to give research grant funding to any of these corporations.
(02:26:59):
I know, how do we so if the federal government
didn't fund research grants. Well, let me just encourage you
to look at the misery that has been caused by
bogus federal research grants throughout our society. Has been used
to manipulate to change our society. When you look at
the money that DARP and the CIA are giving to
(02:27:21):
these organizations, to do anticipatory intelligence surveillance work, to experiment
with pharmaceuticals, and now to experiment with electrical control of
our minds and all the rest of the stuff. It
has been a dark world that has been opened up
with these federal research grants, and that needs to have
the light shined on it and needs to be shut down.
(02:27:43):
This unprecedented action is yet another retaliatory efforts at Harvard,
targeting Harvard for defending its rights and freedom. Technologies and
patents developed at Harvard are life saving and industry redefining. Look.
I don't like any of these research grants. I don't
like what Harvard is doing, out like what the federal
government is doing. I don't like what DARPA is doing
(02:28:03):
with the CIA. But consider the fact that the only
reason that they're taking this stuff away is to punish
them for allowing free speech and to allow peaceful demonstrations
against the policies of a foreign government. And it gets
even more outrageous, doesn't it. The federal government has accused
(02:28:26):
Harvard of anti Semitism, the old dog whistle. I am
so sick and tired of this. Is like the left,
you know, whenever the left you catch them on something,
they won't talk to you about the issues. They just
to catch you and say racist, you're racist. That's all though,
is just repeat that play the race card. That's what
the GOP is doing. Now. You know, if you criticize
(02:28:47):
what net and Yahoo is doing, well, you're racists because
they're completely owned by the ADL and APAK. So the
federal government has accused Harvard of anti Semitism and non
disclosure related to foreign funding and race based discrimination. Let's
stop all this hate speech and allegations of racism. It's real,
(02:29:09):
and they're making it so unreal that they're going to
give cover and have been giving cover to people who
are real racist. They've been crying wolf over racism. Now
the right is doing the same thing. The left is
doing so as reprehensible as Harvard is. This is an
abuse of power in order to deny free speech. The
(02:29:31):
university held over holes over fifty eight hundred patents or
held them as of July last year, and had more
than nine hundred active technology licenses with six hundred and
fifty plus industry partners. Isn't it staggering to think about
what a big business Harvard has become to think about
(02:29:51):
how much power they wield. And of course we've seen
evidence of this. Remember Marty Goddisfeld and how as he
exposed hoosed Boston Children's hospitals medical kidnapping of that child,
and how they came after him and they locked him
up like he was some kind of a foreign terrorist.
(02:30:12):
You and to have these communication management units where they
put our political prisoners. They put Marty Gotsfeld in there
because he criticized a Harvard subsidiary for medical kidnapping. But
this is how strong Harvard is. And of course I've
talked many times in the past to doctor Shivayahdurey, who
also fights against Harvard. He's up there in that area
(02:30:34):
and he knows the kind of political clout that they have.
That's pretty amazing. How well they get nine billion dollars
plus they've got almost six thousand patents and seven hundred
industry partners and all the rest of this. The letter
asked Harvard from the letter from Lutnik to provide a
comprehensive list of all patents they received from federally funded
(02:30:55):
research grants by no later than September the first. A
fifth rather right Homeland Security said, Harvard's leadership has created
an unsafe campus environment, permitting anti American pro terrorist agitators
to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students,
and otherwise obstruct it's once venerable learning environment. Harvard hasn't
(02:31:20):
been venerable for a couple of centuries. You shouldn't have
any respect for anything that they do for the last
couple hundred years. But it's not anti American. It's anti
Israel that they're trying to shut down. And you know what,
even if it was anti American speech, whether or not
you agree with it, whether or not it's true, whether
(02:31:41):
or not it's anti American, that is not the test.
We have a right to redress your grievances and your
criticisms of the American government, that especially includes foreign governments.
And that's what is so reprehensible about what the Trump
administration is doing here. Any of these agitators are foreign students. Yeah, well,
(02:32:04):
guess what you're doing this for a foreign government. You
want to talk about foreign students protesting what a foreign
government is doing, and you're defending the foreign government, and
you're destroying our Bill of rights at the demands of
this foreign government that alone calls for it to be criticized,
(02:32:25):
so you know, they when a foreign government tells you
to destroy the Bill of Rights and to punish people
for free speech. That's the point at which I've had
it with Israel. You know, it was two things I
said the other day I was talking to Karen. I said,
at the beginning of this, unwilling to give them the
benefit of the doubt, even if it looked like Netanya
(02:32:45):
who had stand down and invited that attack on October seventh,
because look, it's you know, everybody argues about who invaded first,
because we all understand at a base level that whoever
quote unquote pemptively attacks is in the wrong. But that's
of course what we do all the time. It's what
Israel does as well. But it got to the point
(02:33:08):
where and when something like that begins, the talks about
how there were abuses and all the rest of this
from the very beginning, but you know, I didn't want
to get involved in it because the fog of war,
people are making all kinds of claims if you're not there,
and even if you are there, it's difficult to determine
what the truth is in the midst of a firefight
and things like that, so it stayed away from it. However,
(02:33:30):
when they came in and started attacking people for free speech,
that was it. And then it got to another level
when Trump came in and openly talked about the purpose
of a genocide so that he could open up, open up,
you know, have this for development and all the rest
of this stuff. That's exactly what people were talking about
from the very beginning. You know, the term genocide was
(02:33:53):
coined by a Jewish historian talking about Armenia and Azerbaijan
and or actually at the time it was the Turks
who are trying to kill all the Armenian Christians and
he said, this is a genocide. They want to kill
everybody or get them off of land so they can
have that land. Well, that's precisely what's going on in Gaza.
(02:34:14):
Trump made that very clear. Netanyahu has made that very clear.
And regardless of whether or not the initiation of the
war was justified as part of a just war, to
target civilians and to sustain it for years is what
makes it unjustified. As I've said many times, it's like
(02:34:36):
when somebody breaks into your house. You are entitled to
defend yourself, and you can shoot to kill if they're
coming at you. But if they grab your TV and
they're running away from you and on the front lawn
and they're not a threat to you, you can't shoot
them in the back. That's the principle by which we
say you can't target civilians. But that's what they've been doing.
(02:34:59):
The university argued that the funding freeze was a blatant
violation of the Due Process Clause the First Amendment and
the administrative proceed track. Well, they don't really have a
leg to stand on. They're not entitled to that money.
I mean, the funding freeze is only part of it.
They froze it for the wrong reason. But Harvard doesn't
(02:35:20):
have a legitimate case in the Constitution to get a
single penny from American taxpayers. They said, it's the latest
act by government and clear retaliation for Harvard exercising his
First Amendment rights to reject the government's demands to control
Harvard's governance, curriculum and ideology. Well, that's true, and I
despise Harvard's ideology, and that's one of the reasons why
(02:35:43):
they shouldn't get a penny of federal money. Of taxpayer money.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we
will be right.
Speaker 3 (02:35:50):
Yes, what I'm just saying, if this is a violation
of their First Amendment rights, is it a violation of mindset?
I've never gotten any money.
Speaker 9 (02:35:58):
Probably, that's right. Yeah, under the due process clause, where's
my money? I need nine billion dollars And under the
Administrative Procedure Act. You know, it's like I'm still waiting
for my first check from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,
and it looks like they're going to go out of
business before they write me one. I've always said that
(02:36:19):
if people want a particular broadcast or program, they can
support it. And we do appreciate the people who support
us here and thank you so much. It's voluntary. We
don't put it behind a paywall, and and we don't
run marathon promotions like PBS does. All right, we're gonna
(02:36:39):
take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (02:38:17):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 9 (02:38:21):
Well, Doug seven says, if I understand correctly, all these
David segments were supposed to be a compilation of older clips. Well,
that was what Travis announced when he got up this
morning to prepare for the show. He was feeling really
really bad, and he put together a couple of clips.
But I wanted to come on because I think that
(02:38:42):
what is happening with this martial law, and it's not
the first time, of course that we've seen the martial law.
That's why I opposed Trump. You know that, plus the
cold blood and murder of people around the world. I
think he is an international war criminal for warp speed.
But that is part of the deep state. They laid
the foundation for that was laid just prior to nine
(02:39:05):
to eleven, and right afterwards they put out the model
legislation after the Anthrax attack that they also did and
they practiced the rehearsed the germ games for twenty years
until they could get somebody like Trump in so they
could actually pull the trigger on it. That's how deep
the deep status. These people keep thinking that he's their savior,
just like he's going to round up the pedophile rings,
(02:39:27):
when he was part of one of the most notorious
pedophile rings with Jeffrey Epstein that ever existed, both of
them creatures of the intelligence agencies. Well, again, I wanted
to come on because this is very important we're trying
to get the studio together here so that we can
trying to rearrange everything so that so I can do
(02:39:49):
it with Travis, because it's difficult for me to do
three hours of the broadcast as of yet. And I
enjoy having a banter back and forth anyway with both
of my sons here. We do that at home. You
guys might like as well. I always enjoy that better
than just monologuing. But that's why I'm not back yet.
(02:40:11):
But I thought, well, Travis is feeling so about I'm
going to take this over after we he did the
rebroadcasts of the interview Dustin Helm, thank you very much
for the tip. I appreciate that. And Nights of the storm,
thank you, I said, please don't get two worked up.
David's great to see you live again. Prayers for the family, well,
thank you, thank you so much for the prayers. I
have to say. Karen was feeling very, very poorly as well.
(02:40:36):
I told you she broke her ankle back in January,
and the doctors, because of the insurance companies, they don't
want to look except at one thing at one time.
So we got approval look at drinkle. My knee is
killing me. We've only got approval for your ankle, so
let the knee get worse and worse. And after I
came home and she's running around waiting on me, hand
(02:40:57):
and foot, her and knee, I guess not just but
her knee got really bad and swelled up. She finally
got them to take a look at it and do
some X rays and then eventually do and A scan.
I want to say an m R scan, but it
wasn't m R and A What is it? Anyway, they
(02:41:21):
just scan they could see that it was torn cartilage there.
So I appreciate the prayers and appreciate God has really
busted her and she's feeling much better now as well.
We were a real sorry sight going to the doctors.
Between the two of us, we're is, you know, wheelchairs
and canes and staggering into the place. That was pretty amazing.
(02:41:41):
But we're much better now, and we thank you for
praying because it's not the medical community that's helping us.
The healing comes from God. And that's true of our
country as well. What if God isn't sending a savior
through the ballot box. This is an OpEd piece from
Christian Post. Michael Wicki. He said, it's a strange thing
(02:42:06):
to watch so many believers wait with bated breath for
the next election, as if the soul of the nation
and even the future of the church hinges on who
sits in the White House. Many well meaning Christians are
hoping that a certain political leader, even one with a
troubled moral track record, who could he be talking about here?
(02:42:26):
I think he'd be talking about any of them, left
or right, Republican or Democrat, that they might bring America
back to God. You know, we could come back to
God with the Trump family values. This is the guy
who first wouldn't be the first one to include men
in beauty contests, you know, right? But this is exactly
how I feel. I hate to see people put their
(02:42:49):
hope and their faith in politics, or in a particular person,
or in their job or their career or whatever. That
is not where our hope lies. We have to ask
an uncomfortable question. What if God isn't sending a savior
through the ballot box? What if He's sending discipline instead?
(02:43:12):
And he says God often used pagan kings not to
lead revivals, but to wake his people up through judgment.
Think about nebicanizer who destroyed Jerusalem, carried Judah into exile,
or Assyria, the empire that crushed the northern kingdom of Israel.
God even called Assyria the rod of My anger in Isaiah.
(02:43:33):
These rulers were not godly men. They were instruments in
God's hand, used to discipline of people who had forgotten him.
You have all these people saying Trump is like Cyrus
who helped Israel. Maybe he's more like Nebican answer. Who knows.
Sometimes God sends prophets, but other times he sends kings
(02:43:54):
with iron fists. And the only Christian nation that we
have today is the Church. That's the way God refers
to the Church. You refers to it as a nation,
as a holy people, as a chosen people. But we
want to project that onto a nation that doesn't care
(02:44:15):
about God whatsoever. There is no political salvation of countries
that are there. It's about individuals, and the salvation that
Jesus Christ offers is there for anybody, regardless of what
your ethnic background is. But there is no salvation outside
of that. That's one of the things that bothers me
so much about American Christians is how obsessed they are
(02:44:37):
with politics, American and Israeli politics. How obsessed they are
with knowing the future. You know, just go get a
crystal ball or hire the witch of Indoor or something.
They're so obsessed with all that stuff, and they miss
what the New Testament, what the Bible is really about.
Old and New Testament is about the Lord Jesus Christ.
(02:44:59):
And yet what people are interested in is it We'll
get to the good part. Skip over all this stuff
about Jesus. Let's get to what happens at the end
of the world. You know, that's what people have itching ears,
and they've got teachers who are teaching him. And as
a result of that teaching, they're cheering the mass murder
of civilians and children and the slow starvation of these people.
(02:45:21):
That's what they're cheering. That's the evil fruit from these
false teachers that sound there. Anyway, Jesus said, my kingdom
is not of this world. Right. They throughout the New Testament,
they made it clear that God was creating a holy
(02:45:42):
nation of people of his own possession, and that those
are the believers in Christ. A true Christian nation is spiritual,
not geographical, not bound by borders, by flags, by constitutions,
it's made up of people we deemed by the blood
of Christ, every tribe, tongue, and nation. God doesn't need
(02:46:04):
a superpower to fulfill his purposes. He is the superpower.
He needs a faithful people. History and scripture remind us
that popular spiritual leadership is not always faithful leadership. And
Jeremiah's day, the prophets assured everyone that peace was coming.
Jeremiah alone warned of judgment. He wound up in the
(02:46:25):
bottom of a well. That's the equivalent. I guess he's
getting kicked off of all the social media platforms on
YouTube today, you know, sent you to the bottom of
the well. Of course, physically a lot more uncomfortable. I
don't feel anything from being kicked off of these other platforms.
Four hundred profits.
Speaker 3 (02:46:41):
Off of the platform right beside the well.
Speaker 9 (02:46:45):
You know, they deplatformed him, and he went straight to
the bottom of the well. Four hundred prophets called King
a Hab to go into battle. Only Mi Chai dared
to speak God's truth, and he was thrown into prison
for tom the truth. Jesus said, be aware when all
men speak well of you, that's right. So did they
(02:47:06):
of the false teachers. No president, he writes, no matter
how strong or sympathetic to Christian values can bring a
nation back to God. Do you really think that Trump
or Biden or anybody else, especially Laiah Harris, is sympathetic
to Christian values. I think they are raising their fists
(02:47:27):
to God pretty much every time they speak, based on
their pride and what they're doing. Revival doesn't come through
policies or speeches. It comes through the power of the
Holy Spirit working in the hearts of God's people. No party,
no political movement, no president is going to save us folks. Sometimes,
(02:47:49):
maybe even now, God uses hardship, decline, and even ungodly
leadership to wake us up. Not because he's cruel, but
because he's a loving father who disciplines them he loves.
Could it be that God has allowed ungodly leaders not
to restore America, but to humble his church. Could it
be that we are confused culturally, We've confused cultural Christianity
(02:48:14):
with true discipleship, and God is pulling down our idols.
I don't pretend to know what God is doing, but
I know this revival does not start in Washington. It
starts on your knees. Let's stop looking for salvation in
the wrong places. Look, if you want reform, start with yourself,
start with your family. And one of the best things
(02:48:36):
that you could do is to take control of your
children's Look, it has been an obsession with this beast
in Washington to grab the minds and the souls of
our children from an early age. And everybody knows this.
God has talked about this, Satan has talked about it,
(02:48:57):
Plato's talked about it. Figures so out his I've talked about,
you know, get the children when they're young in their
mind for life. That's why God tells us to raise
our children to fear and follow Him. And a good
example of what you can accomplish. I want to show
you something that is truly counter cultural, and this is
(02:49:18):
some homeschool teens that saved a restaurant for a couple
they had. It's a mom and pop business, and they
had a restaurant and they began hiring homeschool kids as
young as fourteen because they knew they were hard workers.
And she essentially became family to them. She supported their
(02:49:39):
extracurricular activities and things like that. And then one day
she dropped to the ground with a grandma seizure. And
these kids took over. They trained other homeschoolers, and they
ran the business while her husband was even gone. At
her bedside in the hospital. Here's the story about those
done by the local News Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (02:49:59):
There's a urban old nine.
Speaker 10 (02:50:01):
How can I help you with the reputation.
Speaker 7 (02:50:04):
My name is Lily Benzer and I'm eighteen years old.
Speaker 10 (02:50:06):
Teenagers my name.
Speaker 9 (02:50:08):
Is Torrian, I'm seventeen, Laney, and I'm sixteen years old.
Speaker 10 (02:50:12):
Lots of them right now.
Speaker 11 (02:50:14):
We are up to thirty Chad trainers.
Speaker 5 (02:50:16):
So, yeah, thirty teenagers and wife.
Speaker 11 (02:50:18):
Carol built their business with teen employees.
Speaker 1 (02:50:21):
I'm Acacia and I'm seventeen, fourteen to eighteen, really Joe
and fifteen years old.
Speaker 6 (02:50:27):
They soak up information, they want to learn, they want
to do well.
Speaker 11 (02:50:30):
And then the teens who helped build their business, Yeah,
saved their business.
Speaker 9 (02:50:36):
In this room.
Speaker 5 (02:50:38):
On September twenty eighth, she collapsed.
Speaker 11 (02:50:40):
On the floor and had a grandma seizures. Harold would
spend the next eight months in the hospital, mostly in Minneapolis,
and mostly in a coma with Chad bedside.
Speaker 9 (02:50:55):
Not once I.
Speaker 11 (02:50:56):
Didn't ask one teenager to do anything act he didn't
have to.
Speaker 10 (02:51:01):
They just did it.
Speaker 2 (02:51:02):
This is the pantry.
Speaker 11 (02:51:03):
For eight months, their teens essentially ran their place.
Speaker 10 (02:51:09):
I don't really think about thanks very much.
Speaker 11 (02:51:12):
I just kind of go Akasha started arriving Get point
thirty two open.
Speaker 10 (02:51:17):
He's a great leader.
Speaker 11 (02:51:18):
Joe and the other homeschoolers kept things going during the
day and no one doesn't get anything on the top,
and everyone took on new roles.
Speaker 10 (02:51:25):
Now do a little drizzle.
Speaker 1 (02:51:26):
They trained each.
Speaker 11 (02:51:27):
Other, came up with the specials, and kept Carol's plants
a lot, me.
Speaker 10 (02:51:34):
And toy mainly we go shopping for Chad.
Speaker 9 (02:51:37):
I have pictures of like my huge carts of stuff,
and like my car would be full of stuff, and
then I.
Speaker 11 (02:51:42):
Like look in here and see if anything needs to
get paid or anything. Jobs they lifted off the shoulders
of Carol and Chad.
Speaker 10 (02:51:49):
It's a family here, Carrol and Chad's family.
Speaker 2 (02:51:53):
Carol always offered help with like school homework and just
like life in general.
Speaker 11 (02:51:57):
Caryl and Chad sponsored their page and never missed their
school sports and performances.
Speaker 7 (02:52:03):
It's almost unfair for a NASA reciprocated out to them.
Speaker 10 (02:52:06):
I mean, we didn't know at the time my wife.
Speaker 9 (02:52:08):
Was dying, and they just thought They were helping out
because we were that she needed help. You know, they
needed thing this covered until.
Speaker 10 (02:52:16):
She kicking back. Carol did not come back in May.
She died at fifteen ages. She was just a really
amazing person.
Speaker 11 (02:52:26):
Lily and all the other teenagers attended Carol's theater. Then
the teens got back to work, still pausing occasionally so
they can lean on each other.
Speaker 9 (02:52:41):
I knew we would all not do good today we're
not even cutting onions yet.
Speaker 5 (02:52:46):
I know with all them, the restaurant would not exist.
Speaker 11 (02:52:51):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (02:52:51):
These kids became adults and ran our business and took.
Speaker 9 (02:52:56):
Care of me.
Speaker 11 (02:52:57):
Urban Olive and Vine can be found in the heart
of Hudson. Do you leave a run by the teens
at the heart of uburban knowledge and Fine?
Speaker 5 (02:53:07):
I love them like they're my own kids.
Speaker 11 (02:53:09):
Boy, carolevin near him.
Speaker 9 (02:53:15):
Yeah, you know, it's a common thing for homeschoolers and
families to understand the difference it makes when you're involved
in your child's life.
Speaker 8 (02:53:35):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (02:53:35):
There was John Taylor Gatto who was twice Teacher of
the Year in New York State, and that's the kind
of thing that he would do. He would take his
kids out and he was a big found a big
influence in the founding of the homeschooling movement in the eighties.
Uh And what he did was he would take his
kids out of the classroom. So let's get into the
real world. Let's do some things. And you have the
(02:53:57):
opportunity to do that with homeschooling. We have a government
institution called public schools. I call them government schools. That
institution is there to do everything exactly the opposite of
what young people need in terms of training to take
on jobs and other things like that. It used to
be before we had government schools. You had people like
(02:54:22):
John Paul Jones wind up in charge as a captain
of a ship by the time there were seventeen or
eighteen I forget the exact ages when he took over that.
But they would give responsibility to kids who wanted it
and who were capable of it. They would not pigeonhole
people and set them on the shelf until they age
to a certain position. And that really is the hope
(02:54:45):
of our country. If you want revival, have revival with yourself,
have revival your connection to God, and have a revival
with your connection to your family. Take responsibility for that,
train your kids. When you look at what is happening
around the world, it truly is amazing the fact that Christians,
(02:55:08):
as we have it here so easy, we still have
Christians throughout the world that are being killed by different
political groups. So that's India, whether it's Africa where there's
other Islamic countries, as well as the silent genocide as
African Isis is beheading Christians while the US funds Christian
(02:55:29):
destruction elsewhere. They said it's like twenty nine to eleven's
or fifty October seventh, that's approximately how many Christians have
been murdered by Islamic shahadest in Africa. This is the
new American covering it. You don't see these kind of
stories covered by American media. They don't care. The silent
genocide is one ex US diplomat puts. It is still
(02:55:52):
ongoing too, and it's a genocide. Why because they want
to get the Christians out of the area, just as
they did in Armenia. They want the Christians out so
they can take it over. Things happening in Israel with
kaza Isis effort to establish a new caliphate there, Eurasian
Christian communities are being destroyed elsewhere with Israeli arms funded
(02:56:15):
by the United States. So at se point shout here,
and I think this is an interesting point. Unbeknownst to
most Christians, Christianity was the dominant religion in North Africa
by the four hundreds AD. As a matter of fact,
you look at Augustine was in North Africa. Christianity was
dominant in North Africa, and then the Muslims came in
(02:56:40):
six point twenty two. Muslim armies went swept across North
Africa and the rest is history. So North Africa has
been Islamic since the six hundreds after the Muslims conquered it.
But Sub Saharan Africa was basically open to Christianity, even
though their religion was a pagan religion of animism and
(02:57:01):
things like that. But now Isis terrorists are trying to
move south into Sub Saharan Africa and they're beheading Christians,
burning churches and homes in southern and Central Africa. The
attacks on Christians are increasing in the region. For attacks
on Christian villages in Mozambique with churches burned, burned down
in corpses of what the Jihadis call infidels left strewn
(02:57:25):
on the ground, but I wanted to focus on what
is happening in Eurasia, Northern Eurasia. I mentioned that that's
again in Azerbaijan that has been coming after Armenia, and
Israel is arming Azerbaijan as they commit genocide against Christians
(02:57:47):
in Armenia. How about that it is illegal for America
to arm them, but America can give the money and
the weapons to Israel and then Israel can sell it
to the Muslims to commit genocide against Christians in Armenia.
That's the way the system works. That's what they're partnering
(02:58:08):
together for. There. A political commentator Anti Kasparian asserted that
Israel armed Azerbaijan to erase the Armenian people from Karabach.
She referenced the decades long conflict over Igorno Krabach. Azerbaijan's
decisive victory in twenty twenty three, the world saw scenes
(02:58:30):
of mass exodus as Armenian Christians chose to burn down
their homes rather than surrender them. Ancient church buildings desecrated,
and over one hundred thousand people fleeing under military pressure.
Freedom House confirmed this is an ethnic cleansing enabled by
Israeli supplied drones and surveillance tech. Here's where American policy
(02:58:57):
becomes complicit. America sins Israel three point eight billion annually
and military aid, and spent eighteen billion dollars on aid
to Israel the year following October twenty twenty three. Azerbaijan
is such a bad actor that US law actually prohibits
US from selling any arms to it. Israel, however, doesn't
have any constraints evidently no ethics either. Britain, which once
(02:59:23):
spread Christianity the very corners of the earth, police are
now recently threatened to arrest a pastor after he was
attacked by a Muslim mob his sin. He expounded on
the differences between Christianity and Islam while holding a Quran.
And I got to say, I've said this before. We
used to always love to go to a speaker's corner
when we were in London, and it used to be
(02:59:45):
the police would protect free speech because it was always
about politics. But now they come after the Christians real quickly.
I got behind here. Dustin Helm, thank you very much,
Doug A. Lug and DG eight, thank you so much
for supporting us. I appreciate that and DG eight says,
prayers work, God is good. Yes they do. And Hi
Boost says, hey David, how come there's no emergency for
(03:00:07):
the debt and Congress is not no longer allowed to
spend a dime until balanced debt budget passed. Yes, absolutely true. Yeah,
that is not an emergency for them. It's going to
be an emergency in a couple of years where they
keep kicking this can down the road. It is building
momentum and building in size, and it is going to
be a big emergency. Is like those things, you know,
(03:00:27):
how does it happen gradually then suddenly? I would say,
that's the same way as I was thinking after the stroke.
How does one get old? I think gradually then suddenly.
But this story of the debt and the ballooning debt
is getting very old, and it is going to come
crashing down our heads. Well, thank you, that's all the
time that we have today. Thank you so much for
(03:00:48):
joining us. I have a good debt, common man. They
created common Core and dumb down our children. They created
common past track and control us their Commons project to
(03:01:11):
make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple unsophisticated, ordinary. But
each of us has worth and dignity created in the
image of God. That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away. Their most
(03:01:34):
powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
everything about us, while they hide everything from us. It's
time to turn that around and expose what they want
to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find

(03:01:55):
you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please
keep us in your prayers. D Davidnightshow dot com
