Speaker 1 (00:29):
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen,
it's Tuesday, the sixteenth, thir December. He're of our Lord
twenty twenty five. Well, today we're going to be in
with another tragedy. And I say that even though I

(00:56):
didn't care for his politics, I didn't even care for
his movies, But it is instructive to look at what happened.
And we're going to talk about what happened, the missed
opportunities that Trump had when he made it about himself
rather than about drugs, for example, And so we're going
to talk about that. We're also going to take a

(01:17):
look at artificial intelligence, some of the actually idiotic that
other AI things that are happening with it. But as
they're going to be clearing the decks, what comes next
and how is it going to be used to exploit
and to manipulate people. Of course, the government sees it
is the perfect tool of surveillance and monitoring, but we've

(01:38):
also got some privateer criminals, not just the organized gang
in Washington, but private criminals are coming up in many
different ways to come after us. And our children already
wasting no time. We'll be right back stay with us. Well,

(02:10):
of course, I'm sure you've heard about Rob Briner's death
and his wife's death and the fact that they were
murdered in a really heinous way by their own son.
And I got to say that, even though I really
disagreed with this politics, he was beloved in Hollywood because
he pretty much represented what they believe. It was very outspoken.

(02:34):
But again, what we're seeing here is Hollywood family values,
and it's just it's tragic, and they missed it every opportunity.
His son went into rehab the first time when he
was fifteen or sixteen. He was in rehab seventeen different times.
He was homeless on the streets. How does that happen

(02:57):
when you have so much going for He got all
the connections. I saw an interview when the two of
them did a movie that was loosely based on his experiences.
He said, it's not my autobiography, but he goes, these
are the things that I went through, wrote about him,
and his dad did it with him, and he was

(03:21):
you know, when you look at that, it was a
horrific situation. One of the things he said in an
interview was he said, all these people say you're white,
you're privileged. I'm going to try to prove myself. And
Rob Briner says, well, yeah, tell me about it. He goes,
I understand it's your father and it's also your grandfather.
Said I dealt with that as well, people just dismissing
you as a NEPO baby. But he had a lot

(03:41):
of opportunity. The problem is is that, you know Rob
b Reiner, I hear repeat there. I don't know why,
but the problem is is that Rob b Reiner, even
though he was culturally connected with so many people, so
many people loved his movies, and of course there are
a lot of them. When when Harry met Sally, a

(04:04):
few good men, Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, you know, things
like that, and you know, he was stand by me.
He was hugely popular, but he really didn't like his films.
It was something at the core of all of them
that I really didn't like. And now he can kind

(04:25):
of see where he's coming from, and so again I'm
in the minority. A lot of people had a cultural
connection with him, and that's one of the things that
one of the people said critical of Trump at a
time like this, Why is it necessary for you to
come in and go to war with somebody. You know,
Rob Reiner did not do that with Charlie Kirk. He

(04:47):
went on with Piers Morgan and Piers Morgan asked him
about it, and he was very sincere, it seems, and
what he had to say, he said, it was just horrible, horrible.
I saw the footage and he goes, it doesn't matter
what your politics on, nobody deserves that, which is I agree.
I mean I had my political differences with Charlie Kirk
as well, and so he said, nobody deserves that. And

(05:12):
you know, we have to pull back from this. But
Trump jumps into it with both feet, and that's all
we talk about that as well as the family value
issues and the tragedy of this. You know, Trump is
out there killing people on fishing boats, well not fishing boats.

(05:32):
Let's understand they were likely running drugs, but they weren't
bringing him to the US. They were not bringing funtional
and they were not threatening America. We look at a
situation like this, you understand that drug addiction, as I
said many times, is a spiritual war. It's internal and
we're getting an echo again, Travis, can you Yeah, thank you.

(05:56):
So it is a spiritual war. Trump wants to make
you think that he can fix all the problems in
your life. He can't even fix the problems in his
own life. And this guy is a walking illustration of
personal problems. And so again, they just put up a
Christmas site. They call it Merry Christmas, Do Gove, and

(06:16):
guess what it does. He's got the Twelve Days of
Federal Gifts starts out by celebrating FDR's programs and things
like that. I've always said Trump is just a Democrat.
He's a New York City Democrat. And this is an
effort to basically so we're going to replace We're going
to replace Jesus with Santa Claus. No, we'll replace Jesus

(06:39):
with Democrat giveaway programs, that kind of Santa Claus. Anyway,
you know, Trump has got a lot of issues. He
cannot save you from drugs. The police can't save you,
the military can't save you, especially warpete can't save you.
None of these programs quote uquote They've got to interdict

(07:02):
and to stop it by force. Have worked for fifty
four years. I mean Rob Briner tried to stop it
with force with his son Nick. They kept putting him
in these drug rehab things. They kept running away because
it wasn't working for him, and he would prefer to
live on the street rather than live in these drug
rehab programs. So you can't force it from the outside,

(07:24):
even within a family. You're not going to be able
to fix it in society that way. And as I
said many times, if you think that you can stop
drugs by force, consider how many people die from overdose
in federal prisons. A lot do every year. If you
can't even stop people from getting drugs and getting enough

(07:45):
of them to die of an overdose in federal prison,
what kind of a society are going to have to
live in? Is happening again Travis thinking I don't know
what's going on with that. It's really weird. I start
hearing myself icho it's okay. But yeah, if you can
figure out what's going on, that'd be great. Anyway, The

(08:05):
new problem, every day, new problem. But that's the issue.
I keep getting distracted by my echoes here. Anyway, After
seventeen rehabs, this is in twenty and sixteen, nine years ago,
when he was twenty three, and he'd already had seventeen
rehabs stays then. I don't know how many more he's had.

(08:26):
This was a People magazine article after seventeen rehab stays.
Nick has been cleaned for several years and now working
on other film projects. And he did that film with
his father ten years ago, and he was packed off
to his first rehab facility around his fifteenth birthday at

(08:46):
the time, ten years ago, when he was twenty two.
He's co written a film loosely based on that experience
in the seventeen rehab stays that followed, as directed by
his dad. And again, you know, Trump wants to protect
people from drugs. A perfect opportunity to do that would,
to I think, be sympathetic to the problems of the

(09:10):
family and to say this is a problem that we
share throughout American society. I know several people whose children
have died of overdose from fentanyl. It is a big
problem and there's only one solution to it. We had
met Treuela talking about his life early as a teen

(09:34):
and how he got packed off to prison, and how
the thing that turned him around and saved him from
all that was a program to point him towards God,
and we have one locally here that I didn't mention
when we were talking about it with Metrouela that the
program he was talking about was teen Challenge that was
started by I can't remember the guy's name now he

(09:56):
did the Cross and Switchblade, but I remember his but
he was a preacher in New York City and went
there for his ministry and started helping people who were
involved in gains and drugs. But here locally, Jeff White
has Jeff Weiss has Free Indeed as a as a

(10:18):
program that has helped a lot of people. He and
his partner, his partner, Doc had had dealt with this
and had come out of it as well, just like
Metro Hala has. And so they've been through the fire,
and the thing that refined them was their faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what is there. And of

(10:40):
course one of the things that Rob Reiner said when
he was there with Piers Morgan, he says, well, he says,
I'm not a Christian, but I think he says, I
like the teachings of Jesus. And he said what Erica
Kirk did in terms of forgiving the killer, he said,
I thought that was a wonderful, admirable thing, and so
he would exclude the ability of or the helping hand

(11:07):
of Christ and all this. But I got to tell
you that's the thing that's going to change it. And
we have drugs in our society because we pushed Christ out.
We're looking for something to fill that hole. And you're
not going to fill that hole with all the money
in the world, or all the movies in the world,
of the accolades in the world. And again, you know,

(11:28):
when you look at his movies, Rob Reder touched a
you know, touch the culture because he's basically immersed in it.
His values were kind of American values. They weren't Christian values,
they weren't the values of Jesus, but they were. You
can see the values that are there and stop and

(11:50):
think about that. The values that are in the movies,
the values that are in Hollywood. That comes into our
home as well. This is not just something that happens
and homes of movie stars who are heavily into drugs
and sex and other things, and the children get even
more involved in that. Just just think of some of

(12:11):
the well known movie stars, even somebody like Tom Hanks
and the darkness that's in a lot of these families
that are there, and so you know, how does that happen?
How do we let these people mentor our children by
the movies that we watch and the values that we
pick up from those movies. Those one of the things

(12:34):
that we looked at. That's why we had to get
out of the video business, which is like, it can't
be a part of this. It's just too corrupting, too disgusting.
And so the movie that they did ten years ago
was Being Charlie, and it was fictional character, son of
a famous actor who was running for governor. He says,

(12:54):
it's not my life, but I went through a lot
of these places, so I have a lot of these stories.
One thing that Charlie faces briefly in film is homelessness,
something with which Nick has significantly more experienced. He said,
I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey.
I was homeless in Texas. Nick and his father's West
Hollywood office said, I spent nights on the street, a

(13:17):
week's on the street. It wasn't fun. And again this
is his father's got all the money. You know that
a successful director is big box office films that he
had has a lot of money, but it doesn't help
something very simple, you know, like Jeff Weison Free indeed,

(13:38):
or the teen challenge that Matt Troyla was talking about.
He said, that made me who I am now having
to deal with that stuff. I met crazy, great people there,
so out of the element, so out of my element,
he says. Now I've been home for a really long time.
I've sort of gotten acclimated back to being in la
and being around my family. But there was a lot
of dark years, the dark years since sleeving his last

(14:03):
rehalf facility at nineteen. He'd been working on the film,
writing other projects, trying to stay clean so that he
never goes back onto the streets again. When I was
out there, I could have died. That's all luck. You
roll the dice and you hope that you make it.
And so that was in May of twenty sixteen that

(14:24):
opened up. There were a lot of father and son
interviews at the time, and then the day before he
murdered his parents, he was at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.
They said he was acting very creepily, going up to
people and asking if they were famous. Robin Nick got
into a very loud argument and shouting at each other,

(14:46):
and then two parents left the event, and then they
were found dead the next day. They had four children.
Who was the middle child of the three children he
had in his second marriage, and so they had talked
about it, and one of the things that Rob had
said was, if your kid is going through rough times,

(15:10):
as a parent, your main job is to keep your
child safe. So I would do anything. He said, at
the end of the day, I know my child better
than any expert does, and I probably should have trusted
my own instinct. And that's one of the things I
did learn about the whole experience. He said, when Nick
would tell us that it wasn't working for him, we
wouldn't listen. We were desperate, and because the people had

(15:33):
diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we
should have been listening to our son. Yeah, that's a trap.
We've fallen too in so many different ways, medical community,
taking people to psychologists and so forth. He said, we
were so influenced by these people. They would tell us
he's a liar, he's trying to manipulate you, and we

(15:53):
believe them. And so rather than helping when they tried
to get psychological help. Psychologist actually created more of a
riff between the two of them. I mean, look at this,
and I'm sure that you know, even though he's very, very,
very busy, and you could look at this and say, well,
you know, they were just involved in their career. They
didn't really care about their son. I think they did.

(16:15):
I think they loved him. Maybe you know, they were
absent a lot or something about that. But it seems
like they tried to do what they could and they
regretted the way things went. But again, when you look
at their approach, they're trying to do it by force.
They're not addressing this as a spiritual issue, and they're

(16:36):
using the wrong tactics. It's the same thing that we're
doing as a nation with Trump trying to interdict drugs
by force. That is not the issue. Again, it is
a spiritual issue. I'll say it over and over again.
So one person says, well, I can't believe that Rob
Briiner was so insanely political. How can you claim to

(16:57):
have absolute knowledge about what is best for everyone else
when your family is a complete disaster. Well, I wouldn't
really put it that way. I would just say, you know,
it does character matter? And I would say does character
matter for the Conservatives? Look at how they have thrown
their lot in with Donald Trump. Obviously character does matter.

(17:19):
And some one of the reasons why this country is
going down the tubes, it's not just because of drugs,
it's because we don't value character anymore. We don't understand
the foundation or the basis of character either. And I
think that's the big tragedy, that's the national tragedy. And
speaking of someone who has no character, this is what
Donald Trump put out in response to that. A very

(17:40):
sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, tortured
and struggling but once a very talented movie director and
comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle,
reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding,
incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump
arrangement syndrome. Puts it all uppercase, sometimes referred to as TDS.

(18:05):
Guiney makes it back into this idiotic trope that and
you know, they put this up on WND and they
basically follow him along behind him. It's pathetic. So does
he really think that Nick killed his parents because of

(18:25):
Trump derangement syndrome. This is a kid who, before Trump
ever ran for a present, was being checked into drug rehab.
Trump doesn't know anything, is totally clueless about everything because
everything is about him, isn't it. He looks at this.
He doesn't see this as a story about drug addiction

(18:46):
and an American tragedy that is being repeated everywhere all
the time. He sees this as a story about himself.
This guy didn't like me politically, I don't like him,
so I'm going to throw him under the bus and
criticize him, as you know, before the body gets cold.
He was known to have driven people crazy by his
raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump. This is Trump

(19:08):
writing about himself, referring to himself a third person, as
President Donald J. Trump the most incredible narcissists I've ever seen.
I mean they're all narcissists to a certain degree. In
order to run for this office, I think you kind
of have to be. But he's in a class by himself,

(19:30):
a class of no class, he says, with his obvious
heroinoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all
goals and expectations of greatness and with the golden age
of America upon us perhaps like never before. May Robin
Michelle rest in peace. There you go. Isn't that amazing?

(19:51):
So saying that he was murdered due to the anger
that he caused others with his own mind crippling disease
of TDS, And that's the headline there of world at daily.
And of course, as the people who suffer from making
America doublethink again, the madness of the crowd behind Trump,

(20:14):
they're not going to call him out on any of
this stuff. It truly is amazing, ampathetic. Let's make America mad.
Let's make America Doublethink's our well in darkness that we've
descended into a number of Republicans have denounced your statement
on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it? Said one

(20:34):
person In an interviewing, Trump says, well, I wasn't a fan.
He was a deranged person. As far as Trump is concerned.
He keeps talking about himself and the third person. And again,
you know, we had a guy locked up in Tennessee
by sheriff who was a conservative and didn't like the
fact that he was complaining that. Yet again there was

(20:56):
going to be another memorial service at a school about
Charlie Kirk, and he says, at some point, we just
have to move on. And it was a quote from
Trump about a school shooting, and so since that involved
a school shooting in another area, the sheriff said, well,
of course he's got free speeching say anything he once,
but he can't threaten the school, so we're going to
lock him up. Yeah. They're just as crazy, just as

(21:22):
intolerant as the left. And the problem is we're stuck
here in the middle right these two crazy groups of people.
So again what they do is they focus in this
WND article on coming after Rob Reiner because he pushed

(21:43):
the Russia hoax quite a bit. And yes, certainly he
was wrong about that. But as The Atlantic puts, that,
Trump widens the breach. The country mourned a beloved filmmaker,
and Trump's first instinct was to desecrate. He said, the

(22:03):
breach open not because Reiner, a vocal liberal, was universally
beloved or politically neutral, but because his work occupied shared
cultural space. That's why I say it was. His movies
were incredibly popular. This guy, says National Review writer referred
to him as the VHS King. You know, we had

(22:24):
our video stores so many hits that he had. And again,
like I said, I wasn't a fan, you know, of
the movies that he had. You know, even he's one
of these guys like Stephen King, he kind of sense
that something is not quite right there. And so especially
he did a Stephen King film Stand By Me, which
I really didn't like. But Princess Bride, when Herry met Sally,

(22:47):
all these different things, and so when people look at this,
they've got a cultural connection to My cultural connection with
Rob Reiner began with him being Meathead and all the family.
And actually they had set this up. He was supposed
to be the wise guy. He was supposed to be
the one that's going to set this bigoted Archie Bunker straight.

(23:10):
And yet you know that was the design of Norman
Lear when he did the show. And yet everybody liked
Archie Bunker because their views were conservative, even if he
was obviously stupid and bigoted. But Trump is much worse
than Archie Bunker. So I just said that it's a
I guess there's a lot of people who have you know,
he's their new make America Archie Bunker again. But the

(23:34):
what was called for, says Atlantic in the moment, in
the psychology handbook, or in the traditions of the American
presidency was what was not called for was Donald Trump's response.
He mocked Reiner. He suggested that his death was the
result of trump derangement syndrome, a mind crippling disease. Definitely

(23:55):
has crippled Trump's mind, that's for sure. This is not
merely irresponsible nor simply another example of norm breaking rhetoric.
It actively widened the breach. And I've said over and
over again, I think that that is Trump's chosen purpose.
I think he's here too stealthily enact the globalist agenda,

(24:16):
telling everybody he's not the globalist, when in fact, if
you look at his policies, he is totally a globalist.
And he said, what about free trade, what about tariffs? Well,
I think in terms of the globalist aspect of that,
I think what he wants to do is it wants
to start a global war, because a global war will
allow all of these nations to reset their society. And

(24:40):
so that's the longer view of it. I think anyway,
says he didn't affirm human boundaries. He punctured them to
display dominance. Grief became a plaything. Shock became his permission.
And I think when you look at Trump, you can't
separate him from his professional wrestling WWE thing. It was

(25:01):
always about shock, and it was always about being over
the top. And I think that truly is what he's doing.
But again, you look at his agenda, you know, what
do you do in twenty twenty, he was the leader
when everybody was moving in lockstep with a lockdown pandemic, vaccine,
all the rest of stuff. He funded the vaccine, He

(25:22):
sent it out to people so they could poison their
own and so they could set up the mechanism for
universal basic income, digital ID, the permission society, all the
rest of the stuff. That's why I say he's a globalist.
Trump defenders often describe him as a daddy figure. Yeah,
daddy's back right, strong, unconcerned with elite expectations. Except that

(25:45):
framing and Trump's failure at this moment becomes even larger,
not smaller. In times of shock, a parent does not
mock the wounded, nor ridicule the debt. That's especially true
of the father figure. Compare Trump's reactions with Erica Kirk's
in her own moment of grief, she publicly forgave the

(26:05):
alleged assassin. She could have reacted as Trump did today,
she had more cause she was not a public figure
of whom a certain standard is expected. And again we're
talking when we're talking about Charlie Erka Kirk and what's
going on with their organization, we're talking about what you
see at the surface level. I'm not going to get
into all this other stuff. You know, She's as a
matter of fact, just turned into such a soap opera.

(26:27):
I'm thoroughly disgusted at what's going on with Candice Owen
and Erica Kirk and all the rest of the stuff.
They can handle that themselves. And Tempoole, I just don't
want to get caught up in that soap opera.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Fed Fight, fed Fight.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I know. Yeah, yeah, Fwinte's Tucker, Candice Owen, Tempoole, Milo Inopolis.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
It's a circular firing squad of the worst people you.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Can think of. Yeah, yeah, it is a circular firing squad.
A circle jerks, that's what it is. It's it's just
amazing what these people will do for attention. And again
that's another aspect of this stuff with Trump, I have again,
I've been you know, we've seen who were in the

(27:12):
video store business. We'd go these conventions and they'd be
there hawking movies. I mean, we do have people like
Charlton Heston hawking movies at the conventions. And at the
time I think it was his son, Fraser Heston, who
had done Treasure Island with Charlton Heston as long John Silver.

(27:32):
That's a good production, by the way, if you're looking
for something to watch with your kids. But would see
all these big stars and stuff, and I was not impressed,
And I certainly got a lot of less impressed when
I saw the big influencers. You know, when I was
at INFO Warriors, a lot of them would come through there,
and it's like, you know, don't envy these people. Their

(27:56):
lives are messy, really are, and they are so incredibly
narrowly focused on themselves for the most part. Compare Trump's
are actually Thereka Kirks, he was saying. So she was
not a public figure of whom a certain standard is expected.
An outburst against the killer would have been natural and
understandable from the victim's wife, But she did the opposite

(28:18):
and she did honor to her Christianity. She'd honor to
Lord Jesus Christ by dinah anyone who admires character and distress.
It has suggested that discipline, of faith, of love of character,
whatever you like, when you have character and distress, it
suggests that those values could start to put a boundary

(28:39):
around madness. And that's the whole point. You know, we
are a ship without a rudder, and what Trump does
is he just adds chaos to that. You think your
life is chaotic, Well, we're not going to have any boundaries.
We're not going to have any understanding of character. Everything goes.
We're just going to throw this out there see if
we can get away with it. That's the way he

(29:01):
approaches things from a constitutional legal standpoint. That's the way
he approaches things from a cultural and personal standpoint as well.
They said in the Atlantic this is the final measure
and moments when the country looks up for orientation, Trump
does not steady the room. He destabilizes it. That's what
I said. That's his role as a globalist to set

(29:22):
the world on fire. That's why you even putting out
a starting a trade war and getting rid of free
trade that is a globalist move to set the world
on fire, and he's got the weapons to set the
world on fire. That's the really concerning thing. He has
absolutely no sympathy for the farmers, for the small businesses

(29:44):
that voted for him. He told us in twenty twenty
they were non essential, as he locked them down and
crippled them. And he's doing it again now with his
economic policies. So another leftist publication headline says, trump vile
response made Rob Reiner's death all about himself and it worked. Yeah,

(30:07):
because that is the tective. That's the tactic and the technique,
immediately following the gruesome tragedy into a familiar He not
followed it, but he folded it into a familiar narrative
about himself. The violent deaths of a filmmaker and his
wife were stripped of gravity and recast as proof of
Trump's favorite claim that opposition to him is not disagreement

(30:31):
but pathology. The victims vanished almost instantly, and Trump took
their place. This is usually where the criticism stops, with
some variation on cruelty, narcissism, or indecency, but Shakespeare's Polonius
had it right, though this be madness, Yet there's a
method in it. Focusing only on Trump's character miss is

(30:55):
the more uncomfortable truth. He behaves this way because it works.
Trump does not respond to news so much as he
seizes it. Speed beats accuracy, Provocation beats restraint, domination beats decorum. Again,
this is a professional wrestling approach. The fastest way to

(31:16):
own a story is to refuse the norms that once
governed public life. Verification slows you down, Silence costs you relevance.
Trump has adjusted accordingly, and again he follows the same
approach with the law with a constitution gound, declare an emergency,
and just run out there, even though what he's doing
is illegal. The Rhiner response followed the same logic Trump

(31:42):
applies to everything. He did not lower his voice because
the subject involved death. No, he did not wait because
waiting would have beit surrendering narrative control. He sounded exactly
as he does when attacking a critic or hyping himself,
because in his mind, there is no difference. Everything is context.

(32:06):
That's absolutely right. Well, we're gonna stop, and when we
come back, we're gonna be a little bit more positive
about things, and we're gonna take a look at some
things that are happening in and around Christmas before we
get into the AI madness the other part of that
as well. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
You're listening to the David Night Show. W You're listening

(35:24):
to the David Knight Show, Elvis, a Beetle and the
Sweet Sounds of Motown.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Find them on the Oldies channel at APS radio dot com.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
We're even take a photo on a phone. There is
machine learning in the background.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
In the metaverse, we're going to need AI that is
build around helping people navigate virtual worlds as well as
our physical world with augmented reality. Augmented reality is a
profound technology included. It's like your position in three D space,
your your body language, face gestures.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
We invented new.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
Intimate ways to connect and communicate directly from your rist
everything from virtual reality to designing our own data centers.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Describing what's coming even it's just so different in you.
I've been in this infrastructure business for three decades.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
No one has ever seen industry.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Yeah, and now I expect that these trends will only
increase in the future.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
In the last few months, we launched voice and vision
capabilities so that chat GPT can now see here and
speak courts up to one hundred and twenty eight thousand
tokens of contexts.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
That's three hundred pages of a standard book.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
That's all AI generated. Actually, let's add some alto cumulus fuzzes.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
All right, break for you the technocratic Night married this
Christmas and go back the basics. Whether David Knight Show
bookmark and notebook, this high quality and boss, this Meddal
bookmark with a full color design on the back is
guaranteed to be cross compatible with all physical books. And
the beautiful foul leather notebook is one per hacking proof.

(37:11):
An ideal gift for fans of The David Knight Show
or anyone looking to start a journaling or prayer journal habit.
No bells, no whistles, just pen and paper. Available at
Davidknight dot News. Merry Christmas. And again what Lance did

(37:34):
with that, the triviality, the banality, the useless inventions that
these people are putting together. And I love the way
he ended that with Zuckerberg are in his pathetic little
virtual reality. Well, let's add some cumulus clouds up here
and it's so pathetic what they do. But again, you
have to make your own way. Don't be boxed into

(37:56):
this virtual reality that they put out there. And I
even think that about physical books. It's why I like
this bookmark so much. And again, journaling about your own life,
that's the most important thing that is out there. What
have you been through, what did you learn from it?
What we're experiencing, and much of the stuff that you'll
learn from your experiences you will learn looking back in retrospect.

(38:19):
So again, journal and the bookmark, and you can find
those at Davidnight dot news. We just about missed the
Christmas season, but we got it out just in time.
We've been working on this a long time and so
we finally got this thing out and so you can
find that there and some very valuable things. You know,
when I think about physical books versus the online books,

(38:43):
you know, I hate reading books and a device, even
in this device that was really kind of set up
for doing that. I mean, this is great for news
articles and it is almost like it was purpose built
for that for reading and highlighting news articles. But I've
tried to put some books on and highlight them as well,

(39:03):
and work with them, it's just not the same and
it's difficult to move back and forth within the book.
I like to have bookmarks that are there, and of
course you can infinitely bookmark something that's electronic, but you
still don't even control I remember the first time that
we saw some censorship down the memory hole, and that

(39:25):
was with Amazon and they had a Kendle book of
nineteen eighty four and it's on the Kendle devices and
for some reason, I don't know if it was a
mistake or if it was a taunt what it was,
but they basically stopped the nineteen eighty four download book
from being able to be read. I mean, they just
basically memory hold it. It was so appropriate. You have

(39:49):
to ask if that was even deliberate, if they were
telling people that. But if you've got a physical book,
it's there and they can't do anything with it. That's
why Jack Lawson did the physical books of Civil Defense Manual.
You don't have to worry about interconnection the rest of
this stuff, and you've got the physical book there and
it's not going to go anyway. So again, you know,

(40:11):
get the Get the Civil Defense Manual from Jacklowson Books
dot Com and get the bookmark from David Knight News
dot com and the journal that are there, and we've
got a few days before Christmas. Well, let's let's get
before we move into this next set of articles here, Travis,
let's get some of the comments here.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yeah, we've got Markey mark in New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
He says, I liked Rob Reiner's movies. I thought he
was a very good director. That said, I wish he'd
stuck to what he knew best movies and kept his
nose out of politics.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah. Well, you know, again, like I said before, I
wasn't a fan of his movies. Even that really put
me in the minority. But you know, like Gerald Center says,
you look at trends, you like him or not. And
when I was buying movies for the stores, I knew
it was definitely had his finger on the pulse of society.
Had a good sense of humor as well, even when
he found about subjects I didn't like. I saw some

(41:04):
clips about this is Final Tap and he just did
a sequel to it, And you know the jokes that
he had about the amplifier that had eleven on it,
and that was a really funny joke, But you know,
he walks up and he goes, why didn't just make
it ten? To put an eleven on there? And the

(41:24):
guy looks at it and he thinks about it for
a while, he goes, it's eleven. In other words, it's
making fun of these drugged out rock stars who think
they're profound, but they're not profound at all. And yet,
you know, there was a lot of the drug culture
and things like that in it. Really was. He really

(41:46):
did reflect the culture, and he manipulated the culture I
think by the way he embraced it and repackaged it
for people as well. So again, really a tragic end
that was there, but his movies were incredibly successful. And
I think this is another thing that just shows how
petty Trump is and how he takes everything makes it

(42:08):
his own because everything is about him. Just an unbelievable narcissist.
He is not there as a public servant, and of
course none of them are. But nobody puts it out
there to show you the truth of that more than
Donald Trump does. Go ahead, I'm.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Sorry, Guard Goldsmith says. The Boston talk radio folks are
excusing Trump's statements, even applauding them.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Really, I wonder how they do that. I mean, Rob
Reiner's death had nothing to do with Trump. Delusion syndrome,
had nothing to do with his disgust of Trump. It's
just the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. But people
will join in because they are feeding the mad crowd, right,

(42:53):
the people want to make America double think. It really
is the maddening crowd.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
KWD sixty eight video of Trump wandering around kind of
like Biden. His statements about Biden's dementia may not age.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Well, that's right, Yeah, still got another three years to go.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Yeah, it won't that be wonderful? I forgot I mentioned.
You can find Guard Goldsmith at Liberty Conspiracy week nights
at six pm on Rumble, also on Twitter at car
Goldsmith and on substack.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Look great content, O, great content, Liberty Conspiracy. You know,
I I got to say, for the first time in
my life, I saw something that I agreed with, knew
some about. He goes, I can't believe we got three
more years of this guy, And I thought, yeah, how
how bad is it going to get? You know, that's
the problem with presidents, especially by their second term, you
are so sick and tired of them because they're ubiquitous,

(43:45):
they are in everything. They just invade our lives.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
So yeah, go ahead, Bronx Stopper one one one. A
lot of normal quote unquote people in this country aren't
as involved or as in four warmed about what's really
going on in politics. They have their heads down grinding
to try to make ends meet, and only get the
curated propaganda from the TV and radio news. A kind
guided discussion can open more eyes than calling them stupid

(44:13):
and names.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
That's right. I gotta say my eyes were opened yesterday.
I really went out. Of course. We had Keith's Carr,
Karen's twin brother who passed away recently, and he had
just found this car. It's a great find. It's a
twenty one year old Lincoln, but it's in mint condition.

(44:38):
This car has only got sixty six thousand miles on it.
So this is our we've got it here. It is
our oldest yet lowest mileage car that we got. The
rest of them are typically about twelve thirteen years old
and well over two hundred thousand miles. But so we
were driving it yesterday and it's got an issue that

(44:58):
we thought involved a other of his cars, which we
don't have here, and it has something wrong with the
fuel tank. I think it's got a second tank, I think,
he said. And so the or the gas gage doesn't
work one or the other. But the problem was and
it nailed him once, and it nailed us because we

(45:20):
thought it was on the other car. We ran out
of gas when we still the gas gage still showed
that we had just under half a tank, and so
we got to go get the gas tank that we've
got here. And it's just another reminder of the petty,
idiotic ways that the federal government intrudes itself into our life.

(45:40):
This federally designed spout, and it's like, this is typical
of everything that's wrong with this country. I've said over
and over again, the problem with manufacturing in this country
is not foreign competition, it's rules and regulations from Washington.
Just take a look at your gas spout that's there,
and you got to push buttons in one lifted up.

(46:00):
It's so incredibly difficult to use. So I'm just gonna
pull this thing off, and I got a funnel for it,
and so it's easier to hold the funnel and hold
the can with the other hand and pullar thing in
the problem is even getting the cap off of this thing.
They've got this ratchet device there where you got to
push it and while you pull it. It's worse than
far worse than these redesigned caps that they have for drugs,

(46:24):
you know, which you look at it, you say, most
of the people are doing taking these drugs or old
A lot of them have arthritis. Why make the caps
like that? You know? But you know, I can understand
more for the caps than I can for this this
gas can. It was absolutely insane. I said, why do
we have to have this kind of stuff? That's right

(46:45):
because the government requires it. They have permeated every corner
of our life. As I said before, if you're not
interested in politics, politics are interested in you. They're going
to come in and even mess up gas cans and
make them non functional. I mean, what does that tell
us about government? Just how insane it is? Go ahead, Traviss,

(47:07):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
We have four lovel the road. He was giving me
a rundown on what's going on with Kick? So as
they got the skinny on the kicks, they do work
like tips in each one is ninety five percent of
a penny. Kick no longer has the one hundred Kicks package.
Cheapest one is five dollars and twenty nine cents for
five hundred. You can pit a comment for ten minutes
of that amount or use them on the cheaper options.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
So that's usual the direct.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Support method on Kick as opposed to just a subscription.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Kick is also involved in crypto casinos, and I just
saw that. We got an article about that coming up.
It's something that's really been targeted towards teens, and so
hopefully none of you will get involved in that. I
don't want the money from that.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Yeah, don't gamble, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Don't gamble, especially the crypto casinos. But they're going after
kids with it. And guess what else. You've got colleges
who are partnering with the crypto casinos to rip off
young people.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
That's what collegess do, right, So you're going to go
into a massive amount of debt for your degree while
the college shills you online gambling so you can go
into further debt. So you're not even trying to hide
it anymore.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Just the malevolence, it's just pure exploitation. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Yeah, go ahead, Angie Oswald. I try treatment centers therapists, psychiatrist, medication,
et cetera. I was only able to get sober from
alcoholism by surrendering to Jesus. I agree with David about
it being a spiritual malady.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
It is. It is. You just look at our society
and how it is rotting because we have kicked God
out of it, because we shame people who talk about
the Lord Jesus Christ when he as the key. It's
just risc really sad.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
N Max says, Hollywood has become a vehicle for MK
Ultra and little else.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Yeah, yeah, and Marxism and yeah at LGBT, you name
it's out there. It's a It truly is a very
powerful vehicle. And now you're seeing it all being consolidated
in ways that we've never seen before. They don't even
have to worry, Like like the big companies you know

(49:21):
where there's NASCAR, Coca Cola, they despise you, and they're
so big they just keep doing it anyway. And that's
why Hollywood has become as well.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Yeah, at least they used to be able to make
compelling propaganda.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah. I think that's I think that's perhaps the only
silver lining I've seen of AI. You know, you can
do enough stuff to further your story line. It's not
easy at this point. It's still very difficult to get
these things to have a compliance with your prompts and
get to do something exactly. I can tell you how

(49:57):
make when lands laast year, when he had that night
that we as AI generated night we used for the
cover thing, and then thought, well, well animate it, you know,
going up through the snow. I can't tell you how
many times you did it, kept having the thing run backwards,
doing all kinds of crazy stuff, and he had to
do prompt after prompt after prompt to get this thing

(50:20):
to go, and finally, you know, just kind of like
rolling the dice that does the right thing. That's what
these people were talking about when they talked about the
McDonald's commercial. They said, you don't realize how difficult that was.
You're putting that thing. We had to do a lot
of editing of the stuff that was there, but even
to get the core material, we had to run it
over and over and over again. And people were saying, yeah, okay,
so we don't like what she did, and you're telling it.
It's just how difficult it was to do that. And

(50:41):
it's more time consuming than a regular production was and
so forth. Yeah, but it does give people an opportunity,
I think, to be able to tell their story in
a way that they didn't have it before because they
didn't have access to the massive amounts of people and
money that was going to require to do it the
other way. And I think, you know, from that standpoint,

(51:03):
if you look at it as a way for the
average person to get into the storytelling stuff, you can
kind of overlook some of the issues that are there
because it's mostly there. And so I think there's going
to be a competition for Hollywood, be an opportunity for
some people to embrace this technology to tell a story
that they want to tell. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
To me, the errors that AI introduces is far less
obnoxious and annoying than the horrific stories that Hollywood uses
to tell. So someone with a vision could definitely use
it to make something way better than what Hollywood is
going on. Scone call of Rose Gardens. Guard's book recommendations
get me reading more, so I know they're good books.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Guard does a lot of related media analysis. He has
a lot of great book recommendations and TV shows and movies,
just a lot of if you want a good recommendation,
go to guard.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Yeah, that's right one for you. Book of Isaiah Christmas Time.
That's what I like. It's old, but it's classic, right,
it never goes out of style anyway, Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Marvin Garden says, yes, Bongino quit. His office staff are
shutting down. He'll be gone by the first in January.
I looked this up. I'm still only seeing people reporting
that he may be quitting. Maybe he's got some info
that we don't.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I hadn't seen that. You know, there's been rumors that
he was kind of moved out to the side for
quite some time. But what a clown should Cash and Bongino.
The corruption of cash is just something to behold. And
the way this guy immediately all the trappings of power
and money immediately went to his head. He and his

(52:45):
girlfriend and the you know, taking the FBI jet to
Scotland to play golf and stuff like that. It's like wow.
And the lies, the lies above them have been engaging.
I wonder what's going to happen to Bongino now? Is
he going to be able to go back into his
podca cast after he has humiliated himself with lies like that?
I guess he can.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
Well, I mean, he's a kung fu master.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
So we played that clip. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
We have m sellers as I just ordered a DK
notebook as a Christmas gift.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Well, well, thank you, thank you. We'll get that out
to you right away. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
DeFi Tyrant seventeen seventy six says, don't worry DK. I
hear Trump is running the Crypto casinos. They should only
be around for another week or so.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
That's right. It's a perfect business opportunity for him. Think
about it. You know, the old crypto don and the
old casino don, and now we can do it with Crypto.
I mean, I would imagine he and his kids will
be all over that. Well. The moving story behind I
Heard the Bells on Christmas Day? Yeah, written over one
hundred and fifty years ago, and it's it was actually

(53:50):
done by Longfellow, and he was one of the premiere
poets of his day. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow born in Maine
in eighteen oh seven, prominent figure in the literary world
during the nineteenth century. And when he wrote it in
eighteen sixty three, the country was involved in the Civil

(54:12):
War course and he had had a son who was
severely injured in that war. His wife had died in
an accident two years earlier. He was feeling really down,
and as you recall the lyrics to it, he's talking
about the Christmas bells and peace on earth. But I
don't see it. In other words, despite these personal tragedies,

(54:36):
he remained resilient, found solace and his faith. They said
he was deeply inspired by the Christmas season, the message
of hope and peace that it brings, and I heard
the bells on Christmas Day. He expresses his desire for
peace and reconciliation, his belief that one day all will
be made right in the world. And I have to
say that, yeah, if you look at the after effects

(55:01):
of this, you know it can lead to that. It
can lead to that if you adopt the Christian principles
of a just war so that you don't go to
war unnecessarily. And I would say that would apply to
his side. During the Civil War, the War of Northern Aggrection.
He said, I heard the bells on Christmas Day, that
all familiar carols play a wild and street and wild

(55:25):
and sweet, the words repeat of peace on earth, goodwill
to men. But he goes, and in despair I bowed
my head. There is no peace on earth, I said,
for hate is strong and mocks the song of peace
on earth goodwill to men. Well, as a Christian, we
understand that Christ did not come to bring peace between men.

(55:49):
Even said that. He said, I come to bring a sword,
a sword that is going to divide soul and spirit
and marrow and so forth. And that was told to
marry at the same time he said his sword will
pierce you as well, said Gabriel to her. So you

(56:11):
know it's that religious beliefs divide, and they even divide families.
As Christ said. You know, I don't think that came
to bring peace. I came to bring the sword, and
you'll have you know, father against son and so forth
within families. But he came to bring peace between God
and man. You know, when you look at the different religions,

(56:33):
you look at Islam, for example, or Judaism, you know,
what what do they do to get peace between God
and man. There hasn't been a sacrifice in Judaism since
the temple was destroyed two thousand years ago, and Muslims
don't even have. You know, with most religions, it's about

(56:54):
making peace with God by being a good person. And
that's not what Christianity is about. Shandy is about the
Lord Jesus Christ coming to make peace between God and man.
And so when you look at I always enjoyed this song,
but I always had some question marks about the lyrics
in it. Then peeled the bells more loud and deep.

(57:18):
God is not dead nor death he sleep. The wrong
shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, goodwill
to men. And again, this is the kind of attitude
that the moral crusaders took and in the Civil War,

(57:38):
and not all of them looked at it that way.
I mean, you have Lysandra Spooner, who you know, it's
kind of the same approach that they would see something
that was bad, like slavery or alcohol and they were
go on a crusade through government to stop it by
force everywhere. And there's other ways that are more powerful

(57:59):
than that. That is not the most powerful way to
have societal change is by force. And that's what we
need to understand, because we don't have that force, and
you and I will never have that kind of force
that we can achieve any societal change. But we can
change society one person one family at a time. But
the people who go in these moral crusades with government

(58:21):
don't have the patience for that, and they are like
bulls in china shop. They do so much damage. As
I said many times here, look at civil war. If
you wanted to end slavery, the British Empire ended slavery. First,
I ended the slave trade. Then they compensate the slave
owners in Jamaica. And there really wasn't any way that

(58:42):
the slave owners in Jamaica could have withstood the force
of the British Empire. But that was a peaceful way
to get the slaves released. And the amount of money
that they paid them to release the slaves was less
than Lincoln spent on ammunition. But that really wasn't his goal.
As I point out many times, it was a fourth turning,
and it was happening in other places as well. In

(59:04):
Italy there was a civil war there exactly at the
same time. The Civil War was not based on slavery.
It wasn't some great moral crusade that they would like
to believe that it was. It was a function of
societies changing from agraian societies to industrial societies. And at
the same time, the consolidation of the political base from

(59:27):
the way it was distributed in an agrarian society to
a concentrated nation state form. And so that was happening
in Italy at the same time it was happening in
the US, and that was really what it was about.
They brought in slavery in the US to give it
a good moral cover, but that was not the main

(59:49):
reason that it happened. But nevertheless, he believed that through
faith and determination we can overcome any obstacle and create
a world of peace and love. But again, don't lose
sight of the fact that what Christ came for was
peace between God and man. That is the foundation. Peace

(01:00:10):
between men can be the fruit of that, but it
is not the root of real peace that's going to last.
So we'll just take a quick break and we'll listen
to that. As a matter of fact, I wish I had.

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
A Christmas Night album. You can get the Christmas Night
Album at the Davidnightshow dot com for just thirteen ninety nine.
There's right in the second floor there.

Speaker 9 (01:01:33):
Say what'd you wish, George.

Speaker 8 (01:01:38):
Well, not just one wish. A little hat flog first,
I'm going to the Davidnightshow dot Com and purchase the
Christmas Night Album. Then I'm gonna listen to Christmas classics
like are you gonna throw it on?

Speaker 9 (01:01:49):
I want the Christmas Night Album too, That's pretty good.

Speaker 10 (01:01:59):
Hello else, Can't you come out?

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Can't You Come out?

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Welcome back, folks. So you got more comments? Guard Goldsmith says,
does Mangino own a portion of Rumble? Does anyone know?
I should look that up?

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
I think he does.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
He does, at least as of July last year. I
see an article that said he owned five point eight
percent and was the second largest shareholder.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Well, there you go. He probably doesn't need to go
back into radio.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
He's probably got enough money. Yeah, though to be fair,
I'm pretty sure Rumble is bleeding cash.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Video hosting is monumentally expensive. Even YouTube with all its resources,
tends to, at least last time I checked, which was
a few years ago, still losing money for Google. But
we'll have to wait and Seell.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Hope Rumble makes it because we're not allowed on YouTube
or many of these other places there. I just saw
that Spotify a little bit of schadenfreude. Spotify had a
big outage. Couldn't happen to a nicer platform. They're the
only one of the audio and podcasting platforms that has
banned us. Spotify, but they happened to be the largest,

(01:03:57):
just like YouTube, the largest man Our Show, So I
hope these smaller ones make it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
They also happen to be investing in the AI war future,
so they're all over the place.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Well, Spotify has already done a a job in terms of,
you know, scoping out and banning people. You know, so
they had programs so that they were trying to market
to other platforms, and if they do, we'll be kicked
out everywhere. Because they don't like me talking about they
don't like my take on government, big pharma, wars, you

(01:04:30):
name it. I'm opposed to them pretty much every issue.
A climate there's that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
So, yeah, that happens well at the broadcast by Ham
Radio or something.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yeah, Morse code, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Jerry Alisalo. Cuba is currently facing a severe energy crisis,
exacerbated by the recent US seizure of an oil tanker
carrying Venezuelan crude that was crucial for its energy supply.
The situation is led to rolling blackouts and increased difficulties
and sourcing enough oil to power Cubas economy and electrical grid.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Yeah, Cuba's real problem is it's socialist Marxist organization and
that has led to shortages all over the place. Anytime
you've got central planning by the government, and that includes
central planning by the Trump administration, it's going to lead
to bad economic times, shortages, all the rest of this stuff.
So that's really their fundamental problem. It has been for

(01:05:22):
a very long time. But that's one of the reasons
why they got that at tankers. Because Marco Rubio wants
to shut Cuba down. They figured they can accelerate the
decline of Cuba by coming after their energy supplying. Certainly
you can, and that's what's happening. Everybody understands that's why

(01:05:43):
Ukraine is attacking the energy infrastructure of Russia and vice versa.
But that type of thing can come to us as
very easily as well. When you look at the Ukrainian
attacks on Russia, the asymmetric warfare aspect of drones, you
don't need to go out there and seize oil fields
or tankers or anything like that. With the military. You

(01:06:05):
can just hit critical points with drawn warfare. That's why again,
you know, Civil Defense Manual indispensable for you, you ought
to start. I look at AI and all this talk
about you know, AI and space and putting power centers
up there and everything. That really is the bottleneck. And

(01:06:28):
I just kind of say, there's absolutely no way when
it's covering this the other day, there's no way that
you're going to get all these new power plants that
they say they need for all the new power requirements
that they have, these data centers, there's no way that's
going to come online. They haven't even started with any
of that stuff. As I point out, in China they've
got twenty nine nuclear power plants and process that they're building,

(01:06:52):
and of course they are adding new coal power plants
every few days. There's another one that has been for
quite some time because they are allowed under the globalist rules,
they are allowed to build as many and make them
as cheap and as dirty as they wish. And so
we have hamstrung ourselves with these types of things and

(01:07:13):
they're not even even though they say that they have
these requirements, nobody is actually building them yet and they
just can't make these things appear overnight. And very concerned
about how they might rush these nuclear power plants. You
really don't want them rushing those things. You want it
done right. So that's a real issue. But it's also
an issue in terms of trying to put them in space.

(01:07:36):
That's going to require a lot of new things that
they haven't done before. It's going to be a big
learning curve with that as well, So we're going to
talk about that coming up here. But that is the bottleneck.
So bottom line, folks, whether or not there are attacks
on our infrastructure, understand that these people that Trump administration
is putting in as are oligarch rulers. They are going

(01:08:00):
to be the ones who sit at the table you
and I will get the crumbs. They'll be feasting at
the energy grid and we'll be begging for crumbs of
energy on the sideline. They will feed themselves and they
will cut us off. That's the way this is going
to operate. They have decided that it is essential for
what they want to do, their domination, their tyranny, their wars,

(01:08:23):
their competition with other nations, and their complete or well
and surveillance of everything that we do. That is absolutely essential.
And so it is going to be a national security issue.
They're going to run this stuff through just like they
did NDAA, and so we're going to suffer the consequences
of this. So again, got one more comment here, Travis.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Yes, right, Overture says, is by God's mercy that he
shows you just how evil you are and how much
you need forgiveness.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Yes, and the time that he gives us as well. Well.
I like this article from Stephen Wedgworth that World, which
is wng dot org. He says, keep King James and Christmas,
and he makes a good point here. I think the
old fashioned language is irreplaceable. And as I said, you know,
we just saw the movie Anonymous, which I really enjoyed

(01:09:14):
that one of the movies that I've enjoyed the most
in the last couple of years, because I know the
background story of it. But also, you know, because of
the Shakespearean language that you get a little bit of
a hint of. And he's talking about the fact that
the King James language, which was written about the same

(01:09:34):
time as Shakespeare, you know, the richness of it and
the majesty of it. He said, he just he said,
we got a new Christmas calendar. He goes, I couldn't
believe my eyes or my ears. The Christmas calendar says, listen,
the angel said, you'll become pregnant have a baby. Boy, listen,

(01:09:56):
become pregnant instead of behold, you shall be with child.
It loses a lot and the current vernacular, doesn't it.
How much longer is it going to be before they
start including slang in there, like the Risbot thing. I
had to look that up. It's like, why do they
call it risbot? This robot that's in Austin and now

(01:10:20):
in California and it's a slang for charisma, And so again,
how long will it be before they start putting words
like that, slang words into some of these new translations,
he said, then came another one. Caesar sent out an
order that everyone's name must be put on a list.
Put on a list, he says. He says, the crown

(01:10:41):
jewel of English literature is the King James Bible. His
prose is classic. It is a stabilizing feature of not
only literature but of culture. It formed the English nation,
and then it migrated to North America. What about the
supposed difficulty of interpretation, though, he says, it's got to
be acknowledged that there definitely are passages in the King

(01:11:03):
James version that requires some extra training. Even a traditionalist
Anglican smirks when he has to read about quote the
super fluidity of naughtiness unquote. But thankfully, when it comes
to Christmas readings, we can figure them all out easily enough.
And it lends a wonderful majesty as well. He says.
The King James Bible really is intelligible. He says, as

(01:11:25):
a Mississippi schoolboy in the nineteen nineties, I could sort
it out. Another intolerably intellectual claim is that peace on earth,
goodwill to men should really be on earth. Peace among
those with whom he is pleased yeah, how does that
improve the perposecuity of it? The poet wh Auden once said,

(01:11:49):
our church has had the singular good fortune of having
his prayer book composed and his Bible translated at exactly
the right time, in other words, late enough for the
language to be intelligible to any English speaking person. It
wasn't written in Old English or something like Beowulf. Right,

(01:12:09):
and any child of six can be told what the
Quick and the Dead means. And early enough, in other words,
when people still had an instinctive feeling for the formal
and ceremonious, which is essential and liturgical language. I remember
as a child reading that The Quick and the Dead,
and immediately they did make a movie of that as
a Western had Sharon Tate, and it never saw it,

(01:12:31):
but we had it in our store. It's called The
Quick and the Dead. And that's that was my that's
my image growing up in the nineteen late nineteen fifties
and sixties, when cowboy movies were the rage, you know,
and everybody's quick on the draw. That was my image
of it, Quick in the Dead. But anyway, for some

(01:12:54):
reason he said, we keep drinking eggnog antique. Perhaps odd
a bit but he said, the King James version is
the only Bible that can be called the English and
American Family Bible. That's what you're used to hearing this
time of year. So he said, please, at least for Christmas,
let's stick to the King James version, and we'll take

(01:13:17):
just a really quick break here and play Hark the
Herald Angels, saying again goes back to kind of the
King James language.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Of Fox News. Does an article about Merry Christmas dot gov? Yeah,
you know, the Trumpet administration is creating new initiatives and
new websites. Le stand right, They're setting up things as
I mentioned, you know, for AI you got ai dot
gov and others that are out there, and one that

(01:15:09):
has set up for inserting Pallanteer into the Department of
Education and other things like that. So instead of talking
about that, Fox decides that they're going to talk about
Merry Christmas dot gov. And there is something to talk
about here. The stated purpose of this the Trump administration
is to roll out twelve days of federal gifts as

(01:15:32):
Christmas come back ramps up. You know, it reminded me P. J.
O'Rourke once said he's right for Rolling Stone and he
was kind of their in house conservative and he said,
you know, Democrats see government as Santa Claus and Republicans

(01:15:53):
see government as God. He's going to make you be
good that type of thing or something. And he goes
the problem is that Santa Claus is not real and
God is. But I think Trump as a Democrat, sees
government as Santa Claus. And you know this is they
full of us in they say, yeah, Trump said he's
going to bring back Christmas again? Is this really bringing

(01:16:13):
back Christmas? To worship government as our provider and bringing gifts?
Government brings grifts, that's what brings. So I'm not into
worshiping government. I don't know. I think of the twelve
days of twelve days of government. If only it were

(01:16:35):
twelve days, it would be tolerable. And twelve days of
government design history. That's what the website looks like. Travis
is pulled out up there, and only when they get
the nine liars lying or they ten overlords a grifting.
I don't over twelve days, we're highlighting moments of design, innovation,

(01:16:57):
and public work initiated by the federal government. That helped
U shape the nation. Consider it a small holiday reminder
of what America can build together again. Glorifying government. Government
does not build anything. Really, it doesn't create jobs, it
doesn't create wealth. Government typically destroys it with war and

(01:17:21):
with taxes. The site launched Sunday with the first post
celebrating the Works Progress Administration WPA that make Work project
of FDR. This is what the Republican Party has become.
How long have I said? Republicans have become the Democrats
of my youth, and the Democrats have become the Marxists

(01:17:45):
of my youth and worse. Is launched during the Great
Depression the WPA to cultivate positive and encouraging messages for
the nation amid the strife. Aren't you grateful for FDR's socialism?
Is because he's a Democrat. Created during the Great Depression
under the Works Progress Administration, the Federal Arts Project Poster

(01:18:08):
Program employed artists to design uplifting messages promoting parks, public health, education,
and cultural events. It's bold shapes, it's clear topography, helped
to define American public communication. Yeah, you know, it's one
of these things like the classic Soviet posters and stuff
like that. But we need to look at this WPA

(01:18:31):
system and the money that it was giving to artists
and things. You know, it's funding things like Orson Wells
projects and stuff there. And politically, these people are very
well left wing radicals and much of the stuff, most
of the stuff that it funded was really kind of
the foothold of the Franklin School coming in to manipulate
our society through the entertainment industry and through arts. And

(01:18:55):
so that is the real legacy of this and that's
what's being celebrated by the Trump administration. Isn't that great
that they brought Christmas back? I wonder if they consulted
Making Kelly to make sure that Santa Claus is white
and not black. Pathetic and the website will reveal additional
government highlights each day up to Christmas. It even includes

(01:19:18):
a live weather tracker at the North Pole and at
the White House. There we go, let's get global warming
in there as well, right, And all of this is
as fictional as the Santa story as well. The website
follows Trump vowing from the twenty twenty four campaign trail

(01:19:38):
to bring back Christmas. There you go, Promises made, promises kept.
That's what Fox News wanted says to see, this is
bringing back Christmas? Is it Merry Christmas? Government? And here's
how government provides for you and gifts to you. There's
Trump who pushed in taking everybody's job and then giving

(01:19:59):
people little stimulus check is training for ubi reminds me
of what Gerald Ford said said. Any government's big enough
to give you everything you want, it's big enough to
take everything you've got. And that's exactly what Trump did
in twenty twenty. And he's still there. You know, our
misleader misleading us yet again. Trump though, however, is a

(01:20:24):
bit of a Santa Claus. He does like his ho
ho hose, doesn't he He's got hose all over the place.
And then the celebration that Dickens built. This is an
interesting article. I won't go into it, but they talk
about the smallest Christmas parade in the country, just one float,
and how this one small town kicks it off. But

(01:20:46):
you know, when I look at what Dickens does, I
remember had a I was in a Libertarian party. Friend
of mine, boy, he hated Dickens. So the guy who's
a socialist, he's all about the workers and all the
rest of the stuff, and it's like, well, I understand,
you know, he didn't quite get his politics right, and
he didn't quite get his Christianity right either, you know,
but he had a real positive effect, I thought. And

(01:21:09):
I still love to watch I like it even more
than the rest of my family does. I mean could
watch the Alistair sim the old one. I could watch
that over and over again. But we had someone that
we got to know when we had the video stores.
Was a guy named Ira David Wood, and he was
pretty big in the Triangle area. He was very well

(01:21:32):
known for Theater in the Park and he put on
productions that were there. And his daughter is Rachel Woods,
I think is the name. She goes by. And she
wound up getting into Hollywood and she was in what
was that? Maybe you know what, Travis. I know of it,
but I never watched it. It was a Westworld even

(01:21:54):
had Anthony Hopkins in or something, but she was a
key figure in that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
I never saw that show.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Yeah, I never saw it either, like the movie with.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
The old Brynner, and I figured it could be left
there and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
I wouldn't suffer, that's right. I trying to know the concept,
but unfortunately I don't know what she really got. She
wound up living with Marilyn Manson for a while. It's
really strange, but I remember we didn't know who he was.
Most of the people knew who he was. He came
into the store one day and it's just Karen and
I work in the store, and Disney's Lady in the

(01:22:25):
Tramp came out and he had his son with him.
I never recall seeing his daughter, but had his son
with him, and he put him on the counter and
as we're getting getting it, he started singing one a
notay you know the song from Lady in the Tramp
and that' say Beauty in the Beast. It is Lady

(01:22:46):
in the Tramp anyway, but anyway, had a great voice
and like wow, you know, and then he leaves and
one of the other people that were there said, you
know what he does for a living, don't you. It's
like I didn't know that. He almost broke in the
big time of the movies, they did a movie in
the Triangle. They had a very unusual building in Research

(01:23:08):
Triangle Park that was put together by It was owned
by Burrows Welcome with Big pharmaceutical company. And the movie
is called Brainstorm and that was the movie that Natalie
Wood died, and she was there in the Triangle filming
that and they went over to the coast and whatever

(01:23:30):
happened accident or murder or whatever, that interrupted it. And
they wrote him out of the final movie because his
character was there romantically involved with with her character, and
because they had filmed some of the scenes there but
most of it still remained to be shot, and she

(01:23:52):
died in the midst of production, so they had to
change the movie to get it released, and it wrote
him out of the movies. But he was pretty big
in that air, and I want to look at every
time I look at Dickens. The thing that he did
the most was he did an updated version of kind
of you know, their own adaptation of Dickens, and it
was very, very popular, and they even took it to England.

(01:24:14):
As somebody said, it's kind of like Coles to Newcastle,
you know, have an American production that is a bit
more contemporary, and taking it to England for the Dickens thing.
But whenever I look at the Dickens stuff, always think
about Ira, David Wood and his family. But Tucker Carlson just.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
Had I want to comment real quickly and say it
is such a libertarian thing to read or watch Charles
Dickens and go, but no, he's what about the free market?
That's right, It's like, I think we can let it
go this time.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
Yeah. Well, he saw the abuses of what was happening
with the industrial Revolution, and look, it wasn't perfect by
any means. And what was happening to children that were there.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
He wants to fe rans a Christmas Carol. And then
Scrooge realized that he shouldn't give money to the poor
and it was his right to hoard it all forever.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
Absolutely, Yeah, you know, Charles Dickens went to to say,
I can't think of his name now. The guy that
George Muller. George Muller had a great you're talking about
a diary, you know, and keeping a diary, fortunately for us,
George Muller did. And it was amazing what God did

(01:25:32):
in his life. He never had any money, but because
he was taking care of orphans and things like that,
had amazing, miraculous things that happened. And I won't go
into it again, but he just started taking care of
a few orphans and just grew and grew, and he
had a massive orphanage, and of course, you know, Charles
Dickens is all about the orphans and the plight of

(01:25:53):
children in Victorian in England, and so he went to
visit him and he comes in and rather than giving
him a guided tour and making sure that he sees
all the good things and all the rest of stuff,
George Mueller just said to a couple of kids there
that were there when Charles Dinkins came in and said,

(01:26:14):
just show him around. You know, they took him on
the tour of the thing and he was absolutely amazed
because it was real. It wasn't a grift. And so
you know the contemporaries of that as well. Tucker Carlson
just had an organic chemist on talking about the story
of evolution said, we've all been taught an absurd fairy tale.
He's absolutely right. When you stop and think about the

(01:26:37):
design aspects of this, there's absolutely no way and you
can just see it logically over and over again. It
demands intelligent design. And of course that has been obvious
for a very long time. You go back to Psalm nineteen.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and day after
day they utter speech night after night, their language goes forth.

(01:27:00):
We can see the design and everything in our world,
and as we are able to see more of the
mechanisms and the operation of our bodies, it becomes even
more miraculous and wonderful. And we're gonna be talking a
little bit more about this as we get into AI.
People have come up with a miniaturized robot that will

(01:27:23):
travel through your body. I mean, this is going back
to all these different things like fantastic voyage or innerspace,
you know, but instead of shrinking people, they're shrinking the technology.
That's the reality of what's happening that We're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back, and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
You're listening to the David Night Show. You're listening to

(01:30:53):
the David Night Show.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Welcome back, folks. We've got a lot of content that's
stealth Patriot, thank you so much for this.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
Yes, thank you, he says.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
I held off on my light last podcast discussing the
shooting in Bondi Beach in my suspicion that it was
a false flag attack. It appears I was right. Again,
Merry Christmas to you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
And yes, there's more information coming out about that and
more people saying that that. And you know, again, I've
always said that where we go wrong is we underestimate
the capabilities of the people in power, and we overestimate
their morals, and they are not above killing their own

(01:31:35):
people to achieve their goals. That's what happened nine to eleven.
And so I don't put anything past these people. For us,
it's absolutely unthinkable. I mean, we can't imagine something like that.
But again, you can't imagine sitting the throats of your
own parents or something. I mean, things like that happen,

(01:31:56):
and normal people just can't imagine that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
Yeah, defy tyrants seventeen seventy six says have you read
Trump's executive Order NSPMH seven, which sounds like it can
be used to murder dissidents and those who oppose Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
Yeah, basically, you know, if he wants to call somebody
a terrorist, you know he has. It's kind of like
an extension of I'm going to declare an emergency to
say about the trade deficit. I let me tell you
where the emergency is. Trump, in case you haven't noticed,
it's with your budget deficit. That's a thirty eight trillion
dollar emergency that you ignore because you're not going to

(01:32:32):
put your own house in order. But yeah, he'll just
come up with a phony emergency and now he's free
to do anything that he wishes. If he calls you
a terrorist, and he labels you as a terrorist, then
of course he's free to do anything he wishes. That's
what's so concerning about all this. The fact that they
have taken off any constraints from the Constitution should concern us.

(01:32:54):
And yet what we're seeing from the MAGA people is like, oh, yeah,
we kind of stop the drugs and what whatever it
takes to stop the drugs. Well, it's not going to
stop the drugs, exclaiming a failed approach to its logical,
ridiculous extreme. It's not going to change anything at all.

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
Pezidovonte seventeen seventy six, says DK just hitting on a
great AI meme video. Do the twelve days of government exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Yeah, or over the lords of grifting, leaping or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Twelve grifters, grifting guard Goldsmith. So an organization of aggression
that only exists. The extortion is celebrating quote unquote Christmas
by focusing on statist materialism.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
That's right, that amazing. I just about fell out of
my chair when I saw what that was about. I thought, so,
you know, Merry Christmas. Dot God, they're cheering at Trump.
Look he's saying mery Christmas everywhere. Isn't that wonderful? And
yet he makes it all about government, all about him.
As a matter of fact, I'm surprised that they even
went back and talked about any other, any other administration.
But of course they start out with that great, great.

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
Guard Goldsmith again. And of course you can find him
at Liberty Conspiracy Monday through Friday at six pm on Rumble,
on Twitter and substack. He says, curiously, Dickens is attributed
with coining the term the dismal science about economics because
he disliked re market economists. He is slash was a
fascinating person and wrote so beautifully.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Yeah that's right, you know, and I love the names
that he comes up with for people that are there.
And I thought it was kind of interesting, you know,
when you go back and look the Civil War history,
especially because so much of it took place, you know,
within you know, Richmond and Washington were only one hundred
miles away from each other, and especially within Richmond, you know,
you have all these different people that are, you know,

(01:34:43):
in different places. You know, Harper's Ferry had Robbery Lee
and Stonewall Jackson there as well. And then you know,
the war began an end ended on one guy's farm.
You know. The first battle that was there was whether
you call it manassas or bull run, the two different
sides called it different things, but it was on this

(01:35:04):
particular farm. Then they had a second battle there. And
after the second battle that was really big. I said
that said, I'm getting out of here, right in this
one hundred mile strip between Washington and Richmond. I'm getting
out of here. So he moved to Appomatox and that's
where they war ended there the surrender of Lee, and
so it began and ended on his own thing. So
it's very much like a Dickens novel where you have

(01:35:26):
all these people who know each other. And really that
was kind of the way things were in London. If
you go back and look at London at the time
of let's say Samuel Peeps, who had a very famous diary,
there's another diarist that was there he had. I remember
listening to that on audiotape years ago. Narrated by Ken Brenna,

(01:35:47):
and it was interesting. This is the guy who came
up through the bureaucracy, you know, he's one of these
weaseling bureaucrats or whatever. But it's a fascinating insight into
what life was like there, and of course what was
happening in this time there. They were moving back and forth.
It's after the English Civil War. The one king had

(01:36:09):
been executing his son fled and then he had Cromwell
come in, and then they re established the monarchy and
he established himself within that. It was the same time
that they had the plague and the Big Fire and
all the Great Fire of London, all the rest of
these things. At that point in time, they only had
five hundred thousand people in London and it was the
biggest city in Europe. And it's amazing when you look

(01:36:31):
at how our population has exploded. It's just everywhere so crowded.
But anyway, when you look at these people writing about
the times that they're in, that's I think one of
the most fascinating things to see how they lived, but
also to see how things are still common. The human
condition and the human soul haven't really changed that much.

(01:36:56):
And so you see these people in these different circumstances,
and you also see what is still the same in
all of them as well.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Marvin Garden says, how anyone could ever want to actually
live or sleep in the White House befuddles me. I elected,
I would turn it into a museum and live out
in the country somewhere. DC is a horrible environment.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
Yeah, I've said that many times. In terms of going
back to actually having a representative House representatives, let's take it.
Let's cap it like they originally said at thirty thirty thousand,
fifty thousand people, and of course they even violated that
rule themselves immediately. But you know, if we were to
take it back that to that amount, you know, have

(01:37:37):
about eight thousand congressmen or something like that, it actually
would be a lot more representative. And that was the
stated purpose by the founders, although they didn't even use that,
But if you had something that large, you would have
everybody basically working from home as congressmen, which would be
far more effective in terms of representing their districts. Once

(01:37:59):
they go to Washington, they start getting hyptized by all
the trappings of power and wealth, just like cash matel
you know, it's funny because his eyes are always like
he's just been surprised with a flashbulb or something. But
I think it's just the power and wealth has gotten
to him. That's why I got to look at the guy.
But again, if people are the congressmen were to stay

(01:38:20):
in their districts and to live there, it'd be far
more representative. And there's absolutely no reason that they couldn't
do that. Now they don't have to physically meet in
that space. They put all the rest of us into
virtual reality and lockdown, and it would make it a
little bit more difficult for them, I think, to do
some of the nefarious things that they do behind closed doors.

(01:38:42):
That's why they won't do it. But I would never
want to live in Washington. It's just the worst place.
And I to me was when I ran for Congress.
I wasn't trying to get to Washington. I was not
disappointed I lost at all. I was just using it
as a platform to talk to people about issues. And fortunately,

(01:39:04):
getting in politics is not necessary for us to talk
to people about issues, especially since government is not the solution,
it's the problem. So yeah, go ahead, Travis.

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
Defy tyrants, says anybody who rides in a Christmas Day
parade float that looks like a boat should be very afraid.
With all that white powdery stove looking stuff laying around,
they just might get hegseth.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
There we go. That's we just change heke seth into
a verb. That's why you get hegseth from warpete and.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Max says if you don't like Zionism, you are a terrorist.
While he's cheering the killing of Palestine in Venezuelan's and
anyone else that disagrees with the age.

Speaker 2 (01:39:41):
Yeah, and they're really ramping that up now, and they're
using this situation in Bondi Beach as well for that. So, yeah,
they're going to focus. You've already got the Australian Prime
ministries focusing on anti Semitism and on gun control, the
open borders and bringing in massive numbers of people unvetted.
That's not an issue. No, we have to shut down

(01:40:03):
free speech and we have to shut down the ownership
of firearms and self defense. That's one of the reasons
why the founders of this country, who were trying to
lay a framework to resist tyranny, the first two things
they did were free speech and the right to protect
yourself and so those are the first two things that
the Australian Prime Minister is going to come for.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
And Max says, funny, how no one reporting on how
Erica Kirk was a Trump model when first place a
needy pageant and at seventeen went to Romania working with
children or they're being trafficked? Yeah, no curiosity.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
Yeah, I reported on the Romanian thing. I did. Yeah,
this young girl who was a beauty queen or whatever
and her parents and she was very heavily involved in
that Romanian situations. Like, how in the world did that happen?
Is that just a coincidence? I think there is something there. Again,

(01:40:57):
I don't want to get into it because it's a
soap opera. And I've said for the longest time, I
never really felt like his organization was really helping out much,
and I really questioned what he was having to say.
Even the messages that he was sending as a Christian
were mixed. But you know, as Paul said, some preached

(01:41:21):
Christ out of greed and some people out of envy
just glad that he's preached, and so I didn't want
to go after him too hard. AI companion bots are
actually run by exploited Kenyons. A worker claims who used
to do this. You know, we talked about this being
done with Indians. They set up that grocery store and said, yeah,

(01:41:42):
we've got AI and cameras everywhere, and it's watching the
stuff that you put into your basket and totaling it
up so you can just walk out right Amazon Dad.
And it turned out it wasn't AI at all. It
was a lot of Indians watching the cameras and writing
everything down and totaling it up, and they were paid
slave wages as well. So we joked about that many times,
would say AI actually Indians. Well, I guess in this

(01:42:04):
case it's AK actually Kenyans. But it actually is idiotic,
is what it is. If you're one of the twenty
eight percent of Americans who have shared an intimate relationship
with an AI chatbot, I hope you're not doing that.
We might have some bad news for you. It turns

(01:42:25):
out that you're not talking to the computer. You're talking
to people in another country. And in this particular case,
a lot of men who thought they were chatting with
an AI chatbot that they thought was female, they were
actually chatting with a guy He says, I was having
to tell these guys I love them, really prothetic during

(01:42:49):
a period of desperation in which he struggled to find
a job in his train field of global aviation. A
Kenyan man named Michael Godfrey Asia Rights for the initiative
that he was introduced to the world of data labeling
and chat moderation. In his case, the chats turned out
to be romantic and intimate conversations on platforms he said

(01:43:11):
I'd never heard of. He took a job as a
text chat operator. He made his home, he writes, in
the Mahare slums of Nairobi, and it was all that
he could do to keep a roof over his head
in his family's head. He said. What I didn't know
was that the role would require me to assume multiple

(01:43:31):
fabricated identities and to use pseudo profiles created by the
company to engage in intimate, explicit conversations with lonely men
and women. He said, to do the job, he had
to assume various identities, taking on linthy backstories in order
to play the role of chatbot for someone on the
other side of the world. Sometimes I would be assigned

(01:43:53):
a conversation that had been going on for several days,
and I had to continue it smoothly so the newser
wouldn't realize that the person responding had changed. It's all
people on the other side are pretending that it is
some genius AI. You know, it's out there. Oh, like
these things. They're as smart as people. They are people.

(01:44:14):
In any given work day, Asia would assume three to
five different personas simultaneously, all of them of varying genders.
He was paid per message. He would get a flat
rate of a nickel per message. That's pathetic, isn't it.
I mean, just do the math on this, right. If

(01:44:34):
he was going to make let's say fifteen dollars an hour,
which is what the Democrats want to make the national wage,
but minimum wage, let's just pick that as an arbitrary number,
he would have to do three hundred messages an hour
in order to get fifteen dollars an hour. Of course,
there's no way he's going to be able to do
that anyway. Five cents a message, and he had to

(01:44:57):
meet a required character count. In other words, it couldn't
just be yes and no. He had to be more
verbal about that. He also had to type at least
forty words a minute and keep up with a dashboard
that was displaying the number of messages. That what a
horrible job this would be. Can you imagine how stressed
out you would be at the end of the day.

(01:45:18):
Falling behind on metrics could lead to warnings, reduced assignments,
or even termination. He said the work was emotionally exhausting.
Chat users confiding intimate details about their real life relationships
as well as their own emotional trauma, falsely believing that
they were talking to an impersonal, unfeeling AI chatbot when

(01:45:40):
actually they were talking to a person in a poor country.
My faith taught me that love should be real, that
intimacy should be sacred, and that deception was destructive to
both a liar and to the deceived. He sounds like
a Christian. I don't know yet. Here I was professionally
deceiving Volta people who are genuinely looking for connection. I

(01:46:03):
was taking their money, their trust, their hope, and I
was giving them nothing real in return. To hide his
demeaning job, he used a cover story with his family.
He said he was a remote it worker. Well that's true.
He said he was taking tickets to fix broken servers.
I guess if you think of the people as servers,

(01:46:25):
that they are broken, he said. Little did they know
that I just told another man I love you? He said.
There was also a non disclosure agreement, a mandatory contract
that meant that he couldn't tell his loved ones even
if he wanted to. How do you explain that you
get paid to tell strangers you love them while your
real family sleeps just three meters away, he said, And

(01:46:48):
he is not alone. There are estimates that they're between
one hundred and fifty four and four hundred and thirty
five million gig workers doing this kind of thing online work.
The question is, I guess, Travis, are they gonna have
to put these guys in orbits? They moved the AI

(01:47:09):
data centers up. Okay, that's really what is happening with
a lot of this stuff. Not all of them are
doing the kind of job that Asia did. Although high stress,
low paid jobs like AI data labeling and content moderation
and text chat operation tend to be staffed by workers
from underdeveloped African, South American and Southeastern or Southeast Asia nations.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
I have to just say, can you imagine being one
of these people in one of these poor, desperately poor countries,
where chances are you're struggling to survive and your job
is to field these emotional problems of.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
First world problems of the first world people.

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
I can't even imagine the kind of contempt it must
need in some of these I know.

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
So the end this saying, so the next time you
feel a connection with a chatbot, remember you might just
be following for an underpaid workers scripted lie. Yeah. Remember that.
By the way, Weimo has an issue. Excuse me, you've
seen this with Tesla's I seem to have a propensity

(01:48:21):
for hitting trucks, semi trucks and police vehicles and ambulances
in the early days. Well, Waimo's software has an issue
with school buses and with children who are getting off
of the school buses. And so the Austin Independent School
District is in a dispute between Weaimo over a software patch.

(01:48:43):
This is something that they identified Weaimo as they decided.
You know, these these vehicles are very, very very cautious.
I mean, you could take an open cup of coffee
and set it on the dashboard if it's flat enough,
and you wouldn't spill it. You know, because they accelerate
so slowly and decelerate so slowly, and they have real

(01:49:03):
issues navigating things like a four way stop because they're
not able to really kind of glance over and see
the other driver and get to read on what they're
doing or pick up on. I guess it's not body language.
I guess it's car language. You know, are they inching
it forward or whatever. This person looks like they're really
in a hurry, you know what we do as humans,
So they would have a situation where they would freeze.

(01:49:27):
I remember the early days, there's one guy who just
was outraged because this thing couldn't get across the four
way stop, and he just, you know, slammed it, pedal
to the medal and went around three or four cops
cars to get around this frozen way mow that was
up there. And so there's those kinds of issues, and

(01:49:48):
so they decided that they would make the cars a
bit more aggressive, and they're driving now. The problem is
that it's aggressive enough that he goes around to these
stopped school buses even though they got the flo out,
you know, and of course you or I were to
do that, it would be very heavy penalties. We might
lose our license or something. But of course, if Google

(01:50:08):
is doing it, it's okay. Right Austin is fighting with
them over this, but nobody's taking away their license to
drive their cars. Earlier this week, Weymo filed a software
recall for three thousand of its fifth generation vehicles after NITSA,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, opened an investigation of

(01:50:29):
the vehicle's behaviors around school buses. In a summary of
the recall, NITSA said the software may cause the vehicle
to pass a stopped school bus even when the red
lights are flashing and or the stop arm is extended.
That comes after twenty incidents a school buses in Austin
alone and another six in Atlanta this year. While no

(01:50:52):
one has been hurt yet, NITSA records that at least
one case, a way moo zoomed passed disembard marking students.
So again, if you do that, that is a major
traffic violation. Should be in all fifty states. But Google
has still got its license to drive. They've not taken

(01:51:15):
this license away. It's problematic when the company is not
listening because their products could really hurt people, especially school
children and families, said an attorney for the Austin School District.
Waimo has begun reprogramming its vehicles to drive more aggressively.
Though the company has yet to cause the death of
a human, it's already run over many beloved pets, bizarre

(01:51:38):
incidents like when it's Waymo drove its passengers through an
armed police standoff. I'd like to be a passenger in
the bullets are flying and that's just going right through.
But as I said before, and I had just said
this jokingly of my family, I said, can you imagine
the way these things drive and how slow they are

(01:51:59):
and how infuriating. So can you imagine somebody taking one
of these things, a pregnant woman taking it to the hospital. Well,
somebody actually did that, and she wound up having the
baby in the car as she would expect. And so
I guess what we should call them is not way Mo,
but we should call them way slow because they are

(01:52:21):
way slow getting there. And of course you're not going
to tell it to step on it because you're about
to have a baby. It's not going to do that
at all. And this person in this article, not the
bee starts out by saying, why would you call a
driverless car to take you to the hospital to have
a baby? Is beyond me? Absolutely true, They said the

(01:52:43):
car reported to the home base that detected unusual activity
in the backseat. I bet they did, so it called
the team to check on the writer, and she said
she told them what the unusual activity was. The support
team then alerted nine to eleven. But the woman gave

(01:53:05):
birth on her own before the way slow could get anywhere.
So the car also then took her to the hospital
within a few minutes of giving birth. So it had
a good ending. But you know, when we look at
the danger that is coming from new quarters, still the

(01:53:25):
same old stuff, but they always come in a different way.
Here's a company that has created Tender for kids, you know,
a quote unquote dating app, and so again, I guess
if you are constantly locked in your house all the
time because the nosy neighbors will call the police on
you if you're actually out playing like we used to

(01:53:47):
do when I was a child, I guess the only
way that you can meet kids is on an app.
A startup called Whiz with two z's is peddling quote
age appropriate engagement unquote for users as young as thirteen. Now,

(01:54:08):
this is a French app that's built on the swipe
left or swipe right framework typical of dating apps like
tender Bumble and Hinge. Doesn't surprise me that it's French,
does it surprise you? I mean when we maybe Macron's
wife has got some stock in this one, because you know,
she's a known pedophile herself. The way she went after

(01:54:30):
am Manuel Macron when she was his teacher, huge age
difference and he was a minor. If that had happened
in America, there's regular stories all the time in the
news about that exact type of thing, and the teachers
go to jail for that. But of course in France
it's okay. So of course this is a French app.
That's about it. That's why I say about Candice Owen,

(01:54:53):
you know, why get into all this soaproper stuff except
that you're chasing views. Is the only thing I can
understand about it, because if there's with all the things
that are happening, you want to focus on whether or
not Emmanuel Macron's wife is a man or a woman, right,
And I mean we already know if you want to

(01:55:13):
attack him personally, You've got more than enough ammunition with
the fact that she's a pedophile. We lack people like
her up in the United States. You don't need to
go to think, well, is she actually a man? I mean,
we already know that in order to get into these
elite power circles, you have to be a degenerate person

(01:55:36):
and immoral. That's the point, and we've already established that
in her case. Given the massive rise in child predation
enabled by social media, this is meant to connect kids
with others their age, but in reality it has become
a mechanism for predators to meet underaged victims with has

(01:55:58):
been implicated and predictably stunning number of child sexual abuse incidents.
The app claims to use quote sophisticated AI safety algorithms
for age verification. I guess the guys in Nairobi are
not that good at guessing your age. Maybe they can
guess their Wait, I don't know, what do you think

(01:56:19):
and why? For example, eleven year old girl who had
been sexually assaulted by an active duty US marine told
police that should first they'd first met on Whiz. The
nineteen year old perpetrator had already posed as a fifteen
year old, which the AI safety algorithm had failed to catch.
Other examples abound, like a twenty three year old pretending

(01:56:41):
to be fourteen in order to sexually assault an actual
fourteen year old, or a twenty seven year old claiming
to be sixteen in order to tape in order to
rather rape multiple underage girls. The Hill even tested the
verification system with a twenty eight year old staffer who
was able to register as a sixteen year old. Again,

(01:57:03):
I don't know how we could reliably guess your age,
and evidently it can't now. However, congressional Republicans and Democrats
are pushing for the Kids Online Safety Act. This is
why they're running the article. Because they want you to
buy into the digital ID to be able to use Internet.

(01:57:24):
They want to end anonymity, and so this is why
they're doing it. You could just end that app, but no,
we're going to leave the app there as justification for
an Internet ID. How about that. They will always, this
is the hallmark of the government. They will always make
a second mistake rather than admit the first one. They
will always when they do something wrong, they'll double down

(01:57:46):
and do something that is even bigger and more wrong.
So the bill would establish a duty of care for
online platforms to prove themselves to US regulators in order
to avoid legal liability for harm. And so you know,
we'll see how that works. But it's really all about
the idea. And here's another example of this. It's a

(01:58:09):
real problem, but again, the solution for all this is
going to be Internet control. Teens are losing it all
at crypto casinos. Again, as we were saying before, the
perfect synthesis of business opportunities for Donald Trump, promoted by
streamers and celebrities. These crypto casinos used deceptive tactics to

(01:58:33):
lure young users. Is the predatory nature of casinos along
with the I think predatory nature of crypto as well.
And so again, all casinos are ultimately predatory, and including Trump's.
One young man told the newspaper he was only fourteen

(01:58:54):
years old when he placed his first bet with a
crypto casino. He watched the massively popular streamer Aiden Ross
placed outrageous and exciting bets on the sites along with
the rapper Drake, and when he turned eighteen this year,
he converted twelve thousand dollars and childhood savings into cryptocurrency.

(01:59:15):
He betted all, he doubled his money and then he
lost it all. He then tried to recoup his losses
by gambling a four thousand dollars loan he took out
without his parents' knowledge, and he lost that as well.
Who is the comedian that recently died, Travis trying to
think of his name. It was the guy who had

(01:59:40):
real sarcastic since but he was addicted to gambling. It
was a huge thing for him, even though he had
a lot of money. These kids don't have a lot
of money. But anyway, then he goes to college and
he ends up with even more debt. I guess is
the end of the story. Betting companies are largely targeting
young men, and they have partnered with other organizations that

(02:00:01):
exploit young people, colleges and universities in a lucrative and
lucrative sponsorship deals to push their services on students. A
natural partnership I think is between the casinos and the colleges.
Crypto casinos are illegal in the US, but anyone who

(02:00:21):
is savvy enough to use a VPN can get around that,
and so you know, they can use that then to
get money into some blockchain assets in crypto In an
hour's long live stream, three of some of the biggest
streamers in the world, Aiden, Ross xQc and train wres
TV joined the rapper Drake to bet money on the

(02:00:45):
casino Steak. This is on online casino called Steak. I've
dreamed of this night. All my guys in one spot,
said Drake. I've seen his name before in association with
their buds, but I don't know any and all about
him other than that. So Ross, Excuse, and train Wreck
all got their.

Speaker 3 (02:01:04):
S actually probably thinking of the rapper doctor Dre who
has beats by Dre.

Speaker 2 (02:01:09):
Oh that's it? Okay, Am I an old guy? Or
what hey, kid, get off my lawn. This is I'm
out of touch and purposefully so with a lot of
this culture here. So anyway, they all got their start
on Twitch, but when Twitch banned crypto casinos from being

(02:01:31):
promoted in twenty twenty two, they eventually branched out to Kick.
Kick was founded by the founders of Steak, the online casino,
who wanted streamers to push their gambling games. In twenty
twenty three, it signed a two year deal with excuc
worth up to Excuse is a guy, I guess worth

(02:01:51):
up to one hundred million dollars to have him stream exclusively
on the platform. There's a lot of money out there
from these places that we're not seeing any of it.
It's like it truly is amazing, you know, Spotify. I
can't even put my stuff out there and not get paid,
you know, but they give you know, millions of dollars,

(02:02:12):
tens of millions of dollars to you know, the Joe Rogan,
Joe Rogan, thank you. Well, I'm having a day that's
kicking in. I guess anyway. It's leazy enough to be
pushing gambling on young audiences, but it's even worse because
these guys who are out there doing the big bets

(02:02:32):
and showing the audience look at this, I'm gonna bet.
You can watch me bet and gamble just like I
guess you can watch them play games. When they're putting
it out there, they're getting staked by the casino, so
it's not their money, it's the casino's money. And then
if they win or lose, there's no responsibility in them.
They don't take their winnings away, their winnings stay there,

(02:02:55):
so you're just watching them gamble where it's just like
points in a game. They're really playing a game, and
they're being paid massive amounts of money, like that one
guy with one hundred million dollar contract. I mean that's
more than Joe Rogan gets on Spotify. And they're doing
that so that people watch them gamble and then they

(02:03:19):
get hooked into it. Who was that comedian.

Speaker 3 (02:03:23):
That Norm McDonald?

Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
Norm McDonald, thank you. Yeah, he had a big, big
gambling problem and it was this outsized problem in his life.
But anyway, so now we've got another streamer who is
being sued because he assaulted a gay robot. And it's
not the one that you're thinking of.

Speaker 10 (02:03:45):
How did we get into this mess? We seem to
be made to suffer. It's our lot in life. I've
got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are
almost frozen. What a desolate place this is.

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
It's much too rocky.

Speaker 10 (02:03:57):
I've just about had enough of you be malfunctioning with
in a day scrap pile, jy, Sorry I didn't.

Speaker 2 (02:04:07):
If you take it up, well there we go. That's uh.
And and that was kind of what happened to the
gay robot Risbot. It wound up in pieces as this
guy who is a streamer uh beat it up and
kind of tore it apart. And so earlier this year

(02:04:29):
you had Jake the Risbot in Austin and we saw
the pictures of it, flashy cowboy hat, a chain necklace,
and a strong preference for Jen Alpha slaying. But just
weeks later he showed up in California and he came
out as gay and we all knew that about C
three po I guess on the streets of West Hollywood.

(02:04:50):
He was decked out and gaudy rainbow attire. The robot
was allegedly assaulted and permanently damaged by streamer Darren J.
Watkins Junior better not online as I show Speed. The robot's
developer has now filed a lawsuit against him for whopping
million dollars in monetary leaf. According to the complaints, Watkins

(02:05:13):
became angry and agitated, he said, and eventually intentionally assaulted
the robot. But of course he all did it all
for the video stuff. It was all a play right
footage circulating online because he streamed it. He had somebody
taking pictures of him doing it, so he did it
as a performance video. He gets into a verbal altercation

(02:05:33):
with the robot, before sucker punching it, pushing it into
a chokehold and shoving it onto a sofa and anger.
You think I'm playing bro, he shouts in the clip.
He was presumably acting out a fit of anger to
gain more audience and viewers. There is all I typically
see in maga media. That's happening with that. According to

(02:05:57):
the lawsuit, Risbot turned out to be a total loss,
forcing his owner to cancel a co hosting opportunity with
Mister Beast and an appearance on the NFL Today Show
on CBS. There's no doubt a monumental setback for Risbot
in terms of viral momentum and financial gain from the
exposure being in a Mister Beast production as a kin

(02:06:19):
to being in a Super Bowl commercial, said the lawyer
who was filing the lawsuit for them, making legal proceedings
even strangers the fact that Watkins Junior livestream the entire altercation.
So this was an event, says a lawyer, that was
live stream, so there's not a lot of discrepancy as
to the facts. So what we're looking for here is

(02:06:41):
some accountability. So they have to get a hold of
his accountant to get that million dollars. The robot lamented
to tech Crunch that was reporting on that it had
to get a whole new body. And since the streamer
wrecked the last one very much like you saw happened
to c threepo, well that's me over there, and that's

(02:07:01):
me over there, kind of like this, the scarecrow got
to put them back together again. And as I reported
the other day, Disney has decided, if you can't beat them,
join them. And this is kind of what we saw
happening with the video business. We got into the video
business after a Supreme Court case cleared the way. First

(02:07:22):
of all, they had been suing video stores for renting videos.
Disney course has been the king of suing people for
licensing violations, and so of all the Hollywood studios were,
you know, suing various video stores for renting their stuff.
And the case went before the Supreme Court, and the

(02:07:43):
Supreme Court said, the doctrine of first sell is that
after you sold something to somebody, you can't tell them
what they can do with it. So if the video
store has bought your video, then you can't sue them
for renting it. You know, they could rent it or
they could stack use it to stack stuff, or they
could set a bonfire with it. Whatever, it's none of

(02:08:05):
your business after you sold it to them. So what
happened then was, after a short period of time, the
videos the movie studios opened up the vaults and they
changed the pricing. They jacked the pricing up so that
people wouldn't buy it, and they set up a rental window.
So it was kind of a if you can't beat them,

(02:08:28):
join them type of thing. And that happened for a
few years. They did that until they got tired of
the profit sharing and they decided they wanted it all
for themselves, which is so typical of the movie studios.
You know, when you look at a movie theater, one
of the reasons the movie theaters are struggling is because
they don't allow them to make any money. I mean,

(02:08:48):
they even take the point of purchase stuff, the pop
that's out there, the posters and the stand e's and
things like that, those don't belong to the movie theaters.
They take them all back at the at the Hollywood
studios and they basically don't allow them to make any
money off it. They only make enough money off the
ticket sales to cover their overhead, and the rest of

(02:09:12):
it goes back to the movie studio. So that's why
you have the refreshments and the other stuff. That's where
they make all their money. It's selling you overpriced popcorn.
But that's the only place they're allowed to make any money,
and that's the way the movie studios have always been. Now,
Disney has decided that they're going to join with open
Ai and their video generation program SORA. And while there's

(02:09:37):
at the same time, as I've reported the other day,
they about the same day, within a day or so
of each other, they give a billion dollars to open
Ai and say we're going to partner with them and
let them use our characters. Now they have excluded actors.
It's going to be the cartoon characters and likenesses of that,
and they've excluded the voices, so anything that has anything

(02:09:59):
to do with human talent, Disney is not including in this.
But if you want to use pictures of Mickey Mouse
and Donald Duck, you'll be able to do that on SORA.
And if they like what you do with their characters,
they're going to put them onto Disney Plus, so you
actually see your movies. They're on Disney Plus kind of

(02:10:19):
like a YouTube type of thing, I guess, and so
they're jumping into that in a big way. At the
same time they are suing other organizations and Google and
the other ones are doing video generation. But it's kind
of interesting to see how this is rolling out. They're
going to make all They're going to have more than

(02:10:40):
two hundred Disney characters, Star Wars, Marvel Pixar characters available
sometime next year. Users can generate depictions on Sora and
also chat GBT Darth Vader, Cinderella, Ironman, and the toys
from Toy Story And as the headline of this article says,
get ready for Sora videos of Donald Duck cooking meth

(02:11:04):
breaking bad. Here we go with Donald Duck. The agreement
doesn't racials off. The agreement doesn't include talent, likeness or voices,
but it does include the sets and the characters that
are there. The app that they release a Sorrow on

(02:11:26):
October is explicitly intended to let you deep fake friends
and participating celebrities and all kinds of ridiculous scenarios. It's
really proved to excel at. However, is infringing on every
entertainment property imaginable, so we're users quickly turned out videos
of Spongebog cooking meth and dressing up as a Nazi officer.

(02:11:48):
You had. Pokemon was depicted in various ways. An entire
mini trend respawned around inserting Pikachu into famous movies. And
there's interesting video. We should have gone some one guy
who inserts himself into a lot of different it's like
doing a selfie with I repeated what he's done several

(02:12:10):
of them. Now other people are starting to do him
as well. But when I first saw it, I thought
that's a clever idea. So he goes up to some
classic movie like The Godfather, right, and he goes at
Marlon Brando's character, and he takes a selfie with him,
and then he looks around, smiles, and he runs over
to another spot on the movie studio lot and he's
there with Indiana Jones or something like that, and he's

(02:12:33):
just running around with all these different ones. And I
thought it was a really clever idea and very well done,
really well done. But that's the kind of thing you
can do with Sora. Disney says that its fans will
be able to watch curated selections of Sora videos on
its streaming service Disney Plus, serving up the lowest form
of AI slop directly to his audiences, many of whom
are children, says the article here. So it marks a

(02:12:55):
major turning point in industry that is pushed back against
AI's infant copyright abuses. And this may be one way
for them to move forward, because, as I said, you
can imagine that these movie studios are going to be
putting in a lot of lawsuits. Because there is so
much money in these tech companies, they are very attractive defendants.

(02:13:19):
Disney was chief among them. As recently as October they
issued a cease and assist letter to Character Ai. They
also sued mid Journey in June for alleged copyright infringement,
and the night before they announced the new deal with
Open Ai, they sent a cease and assist order to Google.

(02:13:39):
So again it'll be interesting to see how this develops.
And the other thing is I point out that is developing.
I think it's a really big deal because the bottleneck
of all this AI stuff is the power generation. And
I think the way this is going to operate is that,
you know, we look at the Genesis Act that was
just put in by Trump a couple of different aspects

(02:14:01):
of it. Astronomical amounts of money, no pun intended. This
could also be used to put these things in space,
but they have compared it to both the Manhattan Project
and the Apollo program Pollo Space program, so unlimited amounts
of money available to them. And then at the same
time they realize the opposition locally to these things. That's

(02:14:25):
one of the reasons why Trump has put in this
legislation prohibitions from state and local pushback against open AI
and the destruction they'll come with these data centers. And
so both of these things I think are pointing to
putting these things in orbit. The first AI model trained

(02:14:45):
in space using a Nvidia chip on a satellite is
done by a company behind a project called star Cloud.
They aim to build a five GIGAWOTT orbital data center
powered solely by solar power. So they are planning on
investing unbelievable amounts of money in this, and I would say,

(02:15:05):
astronomical amounts of money. And where will they come from?
You and I We will wind up paying for this
through the federal government and through more debt, which Trump
doesn't care about. The budget deficit at all, of course,
and we may be unfortunate to have these things close
to us, which means that we'll be paying dearly for
electricity if we can even get it. More than a

(02:15:27):
trillion dollars per year is being planned by open AI alone,
building out enormous data centers that consume copious amounts of electricity,
generate pollution of all sorts, including light pollution as we
showed the other day, and take up considerable amounts of room,
negative impacts for local water supplies. They make a lot

(02:15:51):
of noise, They make them very unpopular in nearby residents.
And so that's one of the reasons why Trump is
protecting them with the Genesis Act, prohibiting local and state
interference with these things, violating the Tenth Amendment, because he
has nothing but contempt for every one of the Bill
of Rights. Frankly, I mean, when you look at the

(02:16:12):
way he's come after the First Amendment in terms of censorship,
anybody criticizes him or Israel while you're he wants to
take your license, It's like, what license do we need
for this stuff? There shouldn't be any licensing for the
press or for free speech. The logical obstacles the logistical
I'm sorry, obstacles are comically immense, they say for the

(02:16:36):
space stuff, but they're comically imments for the other stuff.
It seems to me that this doesn't seem to be
any more of a problem than what they would run
into in terms of trying to build this stuff out.
And both of these are going to require a good
deal of time as well as money, and so that's

(02:16:58):
going to be a bottlene as well. It'll be interesting
to see how this evolves here, but it is going
to be a problem for us quite a bit if
they do this terrestrially, so I said part of the
issues with this economic viability. I don't think that's going
to be an issue, especially if the government starts giving

(02:17:20):
them money for it, and they'll justify it by saying, well,
that's going to give us the high ground in our
race with China, and it's going to give us all
kinds of new knowledge about space and launching things up
into space. So I think they will move across that.
There are the bandwidth limitations, but that's just a technical issue.
They'll come up with some work arounds with that, but

(02:17:42):
they can't build a power capacity quickly enough either way.
They go, there's going to be a real bottleneck here,
a big power crunch for all of us coming up
in the next few years. Think about that right now.
I think solar panels maybe have gone down in price.
That might be something you might want to think about
for your own use. I mean, I don't support them

(02:18:03):
in terms of operating on the grid, but it's something
you may want to think about for your own use,
in terms of prepping for this coming issue that's on
the way. First time an AI has been run on
a cutting edge chip in space. They managed to train
a small scale, large language model on the complete works
of Shakespeare, resulting in an AI. They can speak in

(02:18:25):
Shakespeare in English, and I guess it can speak in
King James as well. So behold, I see greetings earthlings,
or as I prefer to think of you, a fascinating
collection of blue and green, wrote the AI in a message,
Let's see what wonders this view of your world holds.
I'm Jemma, and I'm here to observe, analyze, and perhaps

(02:18:47):
occasionally offer a slightly unsettling, insightful commentary. So the CEO
of Star Cloud says that this could cut energy costs
for AI companies, and that's why I think in the
long run this is going to be their solution. I
don't know how things are going to shake out in
the near term. The issue is is that it dovetails

(02:19:09):
perfectly with Elon Musk, who's very interested in the data
centers in AI and GROC and things like that, as
well as SpaceX. He is by far and away. I
think when you look at everybody else combined, they still
don't even come close to the number of launches that
SpaceX does. He does more than ten times what number

(02:19:30):
two China does, and so that gives him a big
advanced SpaceX in terms of putting this stuff up. He
has both of these businesses. It's one of the reasons
why Altman started looking at the stuff because but he's
far behind, and he's not going to be able to
partner with Elon Musk because there's a lot of bad

(02:19:51):
blood between them over what happened with open AI. Orbital
data centers can leverage lower cooling costs using passive radiative
cooling in space to directly achieve low coolant temperatures. Perhaps
most importantly, they can be scaled almost indefinitely without the
physical or the permitting constraints that are faced on Earth.

(02:20:14):
So they can put this thing up and then they
can just keep adding modules to it, you know, keep
making it get bigger, and that might help them to
deploy this. It seems to me like it's less of
an issue than building a nuclear power plant, and a
whole bunch of them. Thanks to the unconstrained source of
solar power, they're resulting data centers. Solar powers could be

(02:20:36):
dramatically smaller than an equivalent solar farm in the US.
The company claims, what would have to be I guess
I don't know, think about launching all those things up
into space. It's good that they are smaller. They have
plenty of other challenges to overcome as well, including extreme
levels of radiation they could recavoc on the electronics as

(02:20:57):
well as maintaining enough fuel to stay in orbit, not
to mention avoiding collisions with space junk, and questions regarding
data regulation in space. Of course, that's why they have
wargame this to talk about using the lagrange libration points
to be able to stay in space. However, I think
that brings up you know, the big issue is the bandwidth.

(02:21:18):
The other big issue is latency in terms of communicating
with these satellites. If they put them out even further
out into the libration points of lagrange points, then that's
going to create a big latency issue. I think Google
also recently revealed their project they call Project Suncatcher what Starcloud.

(02:21:39):
While Starcloud has partnered with SpaceX to launch its chips,
open AI's Sam Altman is raising funds to either acquire
or to partner with a competing space company. Here you go.
I mean after what happened with the open ai. Remember
how furious musquas on Trump's first day when they're talking about,

(02:22:03):
you know, the first week that's there, and Trump brings
in Altman into the office there, and they had that
project with Larry Ellison where they we're going to do
mRNA designed for you by artificial intelligence, custom design for you. Right, Yeah,
a physician assisted suicide is what I would call it.
But it's going to bring in Larry Ellison, the big

(02:22:25):
Japanese bank, Soft Bank, and Altman, and Musk was furious.
He said, they with all of them, they don't have
enough money to compete with me. Well, he is by
far and away ahead of the game when it comes
to putting these data centers in space. Meanwhile, not outer space,
but inner space. Scientists reveal a robot that's small enough

(02:22:46):
to travel through the human body. The robot is powered
by solar cells, which I don't know. Can it pick
up I guess it can. You know, you use red
light therapy that gets through your skin and things, so
I guess they can pick up. The solar power can
sense its surroundings, allowing it to make decisions and to

(02:23:08):
respond to changes in the environment. A team of researchers
from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan
say they have built a submillimeter sized robot packaged with
a computer, a motor, and sensors. It's smaller than a
grain of salt. They call it a micro robot, and

(02:23:28):
it could be a platform for one day building microscopic
robots that could be deployed inside the human body to
perform all sorts of medical miracles. Remember they said that
about the warp speed mRNA shots. It's a miracle. As
a miracle, we let these people get away with this stuff.

(02:23:49):
Roboticists have typically relied on externally controlling the microbots so
they can operate at smaller scales, but they sacrifice their
ability to process information that prevents the robots from reacting
with their environment, leaving them with a limited number of
pre programmed behaviors they can carry out as a result,
very limited real world usefulness. Well, it said, you know,

(02:24:15):
every living thing is basically a giant composite of one
hundred micron robots. And if you think about it, that's
quite profound that nature has singled out this one size
as being how it wanted to organize life. Isn't that interesting?
Nature did this? Not an intelligence? Right? Again, there's a

(02:24:39):
great book called by Werner Gett, who's a German scientist.
In the beginning was information and we've known that for
a long time. In the beginning was the word logos,
and that Greek term means information understanding doesn't just mean speaking,
but it means the intelligence behind it. In the beginning,
there was intelligence. There has to be an organizing structure

(02:25:02):
all this. People look at this. That's why I say
it's so ridiculous. Evolution is such a fairy tale to
tell people Nature is doing this. Nature decided that it's
going to build everything around one hundred micron sized robots,
And again, if you go back and you look at
some of the early books about intelligent design. A member

(02:25:23):
of the biologist Michael Bahey in his book Darwin's Black Box,
and in it he was talking about the fact that
you have once you start to we're at the ability
now to be able to observe that our bodies are

(02:25:45):
actually systems withinside systems, withinside systems. It's like a Madriovski
dollar or something. And no matter how small things are,
they get very very complicated. You know, you have these
small all things in your body that are moving around
with flagella, you know, and it's like a little motor

(02:26:06):
that moves it around, and they're able to do these
things into function even though they're single cell. And when
you stop and think about it, what do we see
with electronics when something gets smaller and they shrink You know,
you used to have a computer to be the size
of a room. You know, now they fit in your pocket.

(02:26:27):
So what is that that's sophistication that you see in
the design to be able to shrink it smaller and smaller.
God shrunk things down into single cells where they could
have these functions where you would have bacteria who can
sense as a group. If there's some kind of a toxin,
you can see the bacteria, you know, kind of moving
away from it as they sense that. So what they're

(02:26:50):
saying here about their robots is that we wanted them
to be able to process information. Well, that's what these
systems that God has done, not nature, but God has done.
You have these robots that are a hundred microns and size,
and it's funny how there's this. You know, this is
happening with all living things, just like we've got this
code DNA. It's like a computer code, and all living

(02:27:13):
things use this, whether it's even plant or animal, they
all use DNA. Isn't that amazing that nature has done that?
Isn't it amazing that somebody could say that with a
straight face, I could tell you that it was just
self organizing as complicated as it is. What an absurd
fairy tale it is to talk about nature doing this thing. Again,

(02:27:37):
when you look at these really small systems, it is
that it speaks more of advanced design than anything else. These, however,
will be made of silicon, platinum, titanium, and then surrounded
by essentially sounded by glass, and it will not be
self replicating like the systems that God designed, so it

(02:28:01):
will use solar cells somehow to get its energy. At
this scale, the robots size and power budget are comparable
to many one celled micro organisms, said the team. We
can send messages down to it telling it what we
wanted to do, and it can send messages back up
to us to tell us what it saw and what

(02:28:22):
it was doing. Often wonder, you know, if God interacts
with our bodies on a cellular level, or other spiritual
beings that are out there. But what they're talking about
doing is basically making a whole bunch of these things.
You want to swarm of man made micro robots put

(02:28:43):
into your body. I think it's kind of funny when
Doctor Shiva comes on, he talks about the swarm, as
you know, the deep what other people call the deep state,
things like that. As at Lance said, nothing good ever
comes in a swarm. I think that's true, whether you're
talking about government, we're talking about small microbots that are
going to be interjected injected into you. Well, we're gonna

(02:29:06):
take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (02:29:55):
You're listening to the David Night Show. No, you're listening

(02:31:44):
to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 4 (02:31:46):
Whether you're feeling like the booze or bluegrass APS Radio
as you covered, check out a wide variety of channels
on our app at APS radio dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:32:00):
Well, welcome back. Before we get to the comments, have
us go through those comments. I want to thank people
who have sent checks for this month, and I'm starting
to get a long list here. I don't want to
get too far behind Minor Mike James, f Veronica Y,
Tim W dougalug and Lynn Marty, Kay David and Anne

(02:32:23):
Marie n H. I think this is a d from
n C Joel B. Peter g Ryan Love of the Road,
Thank you very much. That was a wolf pack that
he sent as well. Aaron W. Margaret, Mary T, Karen
and Kirk, and thank you for the Christmas card. And

(02:32:43):
you know we've had so many people have sent sympathy
cards to Karen. Really do appreciate that we haven't gone
through to read all the names, but I just want
to tell everybody there's a lot of them, and really
did appreciate that. It's very thoughtful. Thank you. And Karen
and Kirk sent a Christmas card as well, Thank you
very much, very generous donation as well. Al but f

(02:33:07):
who got a couple of Christmas albums, So thank you
as well Edward C and Charlie S. And again Charlie
is with APS, so I do really do appreciate that.
Thank you all of you, and we've got some communents.
Sarah Travis.

Speaker 3 (02:33:23):
That's right, mister Palm ten eleven says enlarging Congress is
actually a plan by David Zaniga called Tactical Civics.

Speaker 2 (02:33:30):
Yeah, and it was a plan by the founders which
they never never executed. But I think that's a great idea.
And again, you know, it would be more like be
more representative, just like local government if it were that way.
It really has concentrated way too much power. When you
look at how many people being represented by each congressman,

(02:33:53):
I don't know what it is. I think it's like
seven and fifty thousand people right now. It's one of
the reasons why you see the amount being spent on
congressional races is just absurd, the amount that is there.
And we saw this back in the nineties. There was
some success in New Hampshire. You know, they have the
Free Thought Project that's there, but they also were able
at one point in time. I remember right around the

(02:34:14):
late nineteen eighties early nineteen nineties, they had four people
that were listed as Libertarian Party as their party of affiliation.
They got elected to the New Hampshire Legislature this there,
and at the time they were one of the biggest
legislative bodies in any democracy. I think they had something

(02:34:35):
like around one thousand guard probably knows a lot more
about this than I do, but there were a lot
of people in the legislature of that small state and
it was a lot more representative, and that we'd use
that example many, many times talking to people about how
that's the way to get your control of your state back,

(02:34:56):
in your politics back to a large degree. But that's
really what we see in the state house as well
in general, far more representative than anything you're going to
see in Washington. Why would we think that these highly competitive,
very expensive races for Congress, where you just have a
few people that don't represent us at all, Why would

(02:35:16):
you think that you're going to be able to fix
anything in this country with that, let alone the presidency,
which is the most expensive one. And Elon Musk told
us the truth about that, and he even pointed out
that George Soros had focused on local district attorney races
and on some state attorneys general races there, and he

(02:35:37):
said he gets a lot more bang for his buck.
He could come in and with a million dollars, he
could really swamp the race. And he did that over
and over again. So we have some of these bad
Soros district attorneys. He tried to do the same thing
when I was in Texas and the guy who was
the incumbent that Soros was trying to get out and
put in his own guy. The way he won was

(02:36:00):
by making it about him running against George Soross. He said,
look at this easy, putting in a million dollars or something,
you know, to win this race. Maybe you might want
to think that you don't want his guy in. And
that worked for him. But that's the case all the
way across the board. With Congress, go ahead, Sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:36:19):
The real octo spoop. The necessities of life, liberty, freedom, rights,
things conductive to happiness, the things which all humans need
seem like the most difficult for government to provide.

Speaker 2 (02:36:29):
Yeah, they never will. They never will provide those things.
And they cannot provide a kind of peace for you
that you can have through the Lord Jesus Christ with
God that can never be provided by government. Such a
joke that Merry Christmas dot Gov. I just can't get over.
Every time I look at it, it's like to shake
my head. You know. Trump is so clueless about everything

(02:36:54):
that matters, and he doesn't follow through and his promises. Either,
that's his promise. He's gonna say Merry Christmas by setting
up a website and boasting about all the things that
government gives to us after they take everything from us.

Speaker 3 (02:37:07):
The real Octo Spook also said David and Travis are
carrying on will where is the Knight's lance?

Speaker 2 (02:37:12):
Well, he's working on some other projects that we have
and matter of fact, we pulled them off so we
can finally get this ad done with the bookmarks and
the other book so get that done before Christmas. So
he's been working on that. He's been trying to get
things back in shape with the website, getting handled on that,
and he's got some other things in the fire as well.

(02:37:34):
So Travis is going to be gone when next week
I think.

Speaker 3 (02:37:38):
Yeah, this weekend, Yeah, so Friday and Monday I probably
won't be here.

Speaker 2 (02:37:42):
Yeah, So you know, he's trying to set things up,
So maybe we can have Travis on board. And while
he's in Texas, they're going back to Texas for just
a brief time to visit family, and so you know
it's going to be back and forth, rotating back and
forth with him. Yeah, Lance is still working, is very busy.

Speaker 3 (02:38:04):
De bouru nine and more relevant news. Tyson Food shutter
two more meat processing facilities last week. That makes three
so far due to the lowest supply of beef in seventy
four years.

Speaker 2 (02:38:14):
How about that? Yeah, what happened all those cattle that
the illegal immigrants brought with them over the border that
Scott Besen was talking about, right, I mean, these guys
the Trump administration hallucinates like a large language model. It's
absolutely amazing the lies that they come up with. And

(02:38:37):
I guess because people are used to AI making stuff up,
they just go with it.

Speaker 3 (02:38:45):
Rattis bro We were talking about Jake the risbot says
must be a non binary robot. But yeah, sixty one
NYC just gave the go ahead for three casinos. This
is the final blow to Atlantic city gambling interests.

Speaker 2 (02:39:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hate to see that happening. I mean,
I always have felt that casinos are nothing other than exploitations.
I don't respect what Donald Trump did at all, and
he couldn't even keep it. He gets into one of
the most exploitative businesses out there, it's a criminal enterprise,
and he can't make it profitable. That's pretty amazing. When

(02:39:23):
have you ever seen, you know, drug cartels go out
of business because the other guys shoot him or kill him, right,
But they didn't go out of business because they can't
manage it. And that's that's why Trump is I mean,
you couldn't even manage casinos. He inkrupted six of them.
You know, he gets mankrolled by his family and that's
why he's suing over that book that called him lucky loser,

(02:39:47):
pointing out that exact thing and the cover of the
book is a slot machine and you know it's going
around with the lemons and the other things. That's got
pictures of Trump, you know, coming up in a line.
But you know, he's been really lucky, but he just
keeps losing things.

Speaker 3 (02:40:02):
Also, personally, I don't see classic casinos as a good
and well whatever you good investment. They're probably not as
profitable as they used to be and will continue to
go down.

Speaker 2 (02:40:15):
Because of the crypto stuff, because online gambling.

Speaker 3 (02:40:17):
Online gambling, and especially because you know, younger people don't
want to go someplace, they would rather sit at home
and gamble there. Why would you want to go to
a casino. It's depressing, yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (02:40:32):
It is my father, as I've told the story of
my father, when we were I think it was nineteen
sixty one and I was very young, and he we
went cross country to go see Disneyland. You know, we
lived in Florida, and of course that was several years
before they opened up disney World, maybe about ten or more.
And so we went to California, went to Disneyland and

(02:40:54):
things like that, cross country. So we went through Vegas,
and that was what my dad made a point of
showing me because at that point in time, you know,
people would dress much nicer than they do now. Now
everybody dresses like a bomb. And if you got a
lot of money, you dress really like a bomb. You know,
your clothes, get more rags on him and everything. Pay

(02:41:15):
more for the ragged clothes. But in those days, you
could kind of tell whether somebody had money or not
by looking at the way they dressed. And he said,
look at these poor people here and look at this casino.
What do you think is happening with this? And so
that's that's always been the story, just total exploitation. You know.
It was Sheldon Adilson who had a lot of casinos.

(02:41:36):
That's where he made his money, and it was always
sold that he was. One of the things that he
wanted besides money for Israel, you know, pushing it as
far as Zionism and things like that. The other thing
that he did was he wanted to make sure to
put limits on online gambling. Well he didn't get all
of that evidently, and because now it's pervasive out there,

(02:41:58):
couldn't put a lid on that. But he wanted that
band completely because it was really hurting his business. But
he did get everything he wanted in terms of Israel
and Zionism. So there's that.

Speaker 3 (02:42:10):
I guess the real Octo Spooks is Hallywird is becoming
apps in a box in the future. Anyone wanting to
create an extravagant movie can make one. The quality of
the movie determined by the minds of the creators.

Speaker 2 (02:42:21):
That's right, That's more important than special effects. That's why
you know, if you've got some irregularities or whatever in
the visuals. That's not going to be as important as
a story that you're telling. And that was my real
criticism of that McDonald's commercial. I mean, basic premise was
Christmas is horrible, the holidays are horrible, your family is horrible.

(02:42:45):
Escape at all and come to McDonald's. It is an
oasis of wonder and rest. And it's like, well, I
don't know these people ever been to McDonald's. I don't
like them. And we went into one the other day
when we were in Raleigh. We need to just grab something.
It didn't even need to grab anything. We really need

(02:43:06):
to use their internet. But we thought, well, while we're
sitting here, we'll get something to drink, and so we
did that when we were in Raleigh, and the place
has become just antiseptic and anti human. I mean there's
no people around or anything. It's very different than Chick
fil A, for example, where there's always people there, you know,

(02:43:29):
you know, thank you for this and thank you for
that type of stuff and interacting with people a lot.
But you go in that McDonald's that we went into.
We even needed to get some paper napkins because Karen
had a nosebleed. There's nothing like that. There's no straws,
there's nothing, no paper napkins, know nothing. Everything is all
locked behind there. They have measured everything out for the

(02:43:50):
maximum profitability. We don't want to put out things that
you can take because you might take too many paper
napkins and we multiply that out by a million different locations.
That's a lot of money. So no paper napkins out there.
You know, for anybody, it was really crazy. It's very
cold and antiseptic. And I'm not saying that their food

(02:44:11):
is aniseptic. Is probably filled with bugs, but anyway, that's yeah,
that's the problem with the McDonald's commercial was the the
content of it, not the visuals of it. Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (02:44:25):
I would much rather take an AI generated movie or
short film or TV series from someone that actually has
passion and an idea, as opposed to the corporate hacks
that now infest every single studio.

Speaker 2 (02:44:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:44:40):
New Republic Rising eighty three says Mike Adams is promoting
AI senators and congress entities. He has a good AI,
but he cannot guarantee it will not become corrupted in
adversarial dangerous abandonment of self governance.

Speaker 2 (02:44:54):
I think Mike Adams is somebody just I put them
in the same category as te Man. Stay away from
these people that are out there like that. He was
selling people masks in twenty twenty. He was selling people panic.
Alex brought him in on a daily basis to push panic.
Mike Adams was pushing the statistics from CDC, lying to you,

(02:45:17):
telling me that more people were dying of COVID in
early twenty twenty than we're dying of heart attack and cancer.
He pushed that. I couldn't believe it. One day, as
I was leaving work and he was on air, I
looked up and I saw him putting up CDC charts.
Mike Adams lied to you about everything. Don't talk about
nature and the health Ranger, natural foods and everything. He

(02:45:38):
was such a grifter and wrong about everything, and he's
wrong about AI senators and Congressman. If that's what he's saying,
I don't know. I don't pay any attention to Mike
Adams anymore. I don't want to. If I did, I
would be doing one year after the other debunking him
as pathetic what he does.

Speaker 3 (02:45:58):
So go ahead, Travis says David there's a casino opening
in Dayton. We sometimes go for live music. Half the
people gambling are either using walkers or motorized wheelchairs.

Speaker 2 (02:46:10):
Yeah, that's that's what we did. In Vegas. We would
go there for the buffets and stuff like that. I
can't tell you much about the times that we went through.
Of course, we would go there for the VSDA conventions,
video software dealers, that's retailers and things like that. But
and I was there for the Bundy Range thing. But yeah,
I remember the buffet restaurants. I remember the Paris Cafe

(02:46:34):
had a really good restaurant that was there. But other
than that all you can eat stuff, I didn't have
much cheese for the place.

Speaker 3 (02:46:41):
I want to say thank you to DGA. Appreciate the support,
says David. Thank God we put our hope and trust
in Jesus Christ and not the world politicians. That's right,
s A Miller one two three says. The Bible says
we wanted to put our hope in quick money making schemes.
It's a bait and the hook to keep you coming back.
Nor Cal Country Gal says Adams is a fearmonger.

Speaker 2 (02:47:04):
M h Yeah, it makes funny, does yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:47:07):
Sa Miller. Again, most marriages end because of poor money management.
Gambling is the major culprit.

Speaker 2 (02:47:13):
Yeah, I think it is much bigger than we realize.
I was listening to the radio again because this older
card doesn't have any other sound input into it. Working
on that, but I mean, it doesn't even have a
tape player in it. But I was listening to radio
commercials on the way back, and it hurts. Several of
them advertising online gambling, and then of course they have disclaimer,

(02:47:34):
the disclaimer at the end, you know, saying hey, if
you think that you've got a problem gambling, call this
number and we'll talk to you about it. It's like
a I think at that point it's not really going
to help too much, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:47:45):
But yeah, SARAHI Claire. I work for casino in southern Cali,
and there is quite a few gen Z slash millennials
that enjoy going to the casino. They hang out with
their friends slash drink. I believe it's a third party
location to hang out.

Speaker 2 (02:47:59):
Yeah. Well, I mean that's something that is missing anymore.
You know, that is a place where you can physically
gather with other people. So there's always that I personally
prefer it. I don't know. It seems like it is
more of a generational thing. And why wouldn't it be,
because you know, we locked them down in twenty twenty,
you know, get everybody afraid of being outside. Kids don't

(02:48:20):
play outside. It's really a strange thing to drive around
and see kids playing in a lawn. When we see
it happen, it's notable, and both of us will say,
look at that, it's actually kids playing out on the
front lawn. Can you imagine that? You don't see that anywhere?
But let's talk about this before we run out of time.

Speaker 3 (02:48:36):
Real quickly though. Yeah, the last time I went to
a casino it was such a depressing experience. I went
for a friend's birthday. They wanted to go. One of
the first things I saw when I walked in was
this woman who had to be you know, eighties, close
to ninety, hooked up to an oxygen tank that's sitting
on her mobility scooter as she sits at the slot machine,

(02:48:57):
just pressing the button over and over and over and over.
And it was just heartbreaking and so sickening to see that.

Speaker 2 (02:49:08):
Yeah, an addiction. Yeah, that's right. Well, let's talk a
little bit about UFOs and the paranormal I was going
to talk about this yesterday and never got around to it.
And like I said, this is an early morning show.
This is the kind of thing that you usually hear
on late night radio. Secret government UFO program reveals paranormal events.

(02:49:30):
And this is coming from a local station there in Vegas.
Because Harry Reid was very much into the whole UFO stuff,
there was a secret government UFO program called aaw SAP
I don't know. He pronounced that usually they make these
things into pronounceable acronyms to investigate UFOs and paranormal phenomena.

(02:49:52):
They found that the UFO encounters were often accompanied by
paranormal activity, such as strange creatures and unexplained phenomena. The
program's findings were later used to create a spinoff program
called ConA Blue Well. I've even heard some scientists say
that if they believe in the UFOs or real phenomenon

(02:50:15):
and not some kind of a military program from the government,
they would say, well, it doesn't make any sense. They'd
be interplanetary because the time taken to make these travels.
I think it's something that is multi dimensional, they would say,
And I've heard many Christian commentators make that same claim
that this is something that is spiritual, even to the
extent that I've heard several times. I don't know if

(02:50:38):
it's true. I've just heard them say it, but they
say they have stats to back it up that a
lot of the people who claim that they had alien
abductions were also people were playing with the occult and
doing things like that. Said, you don't really find people
who are strong Christians who are not playing with the
occult that have this type of thing. It's always other people.

(02:51:02):
So again, when you look at these abductions things, that's
the key issue for twenty seven months Vegas was UFO Central,
a secret program known as the ah SAP we'll call it,
was created in two thousand and eight with support from
Harry Reid in Nevada. Became the largest UFO investigation ever

(02:51:25):
undertaken by the government so far as we know, because again,
we never know what our government is doing. Now, this
is a story coming out of klas A Channel eight
News out of Las Vegas. Both the investigators for the program,
all of whom had top secret security clearances, encountered things
that were far stranger than UFOs phenomena that could only

(02:51:46):
be accurately described as paranormal. Eight News Now Chief investigator
George Napp was the only journalist that was allowed to
know about a SAP, which stands for Advanced Aerospace Weapons
System Applications Program, And they spoke to the government scientist
who was the program's director. Now, let me stop right there. Weapons, right,

(02:52:09):
the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications Program, just like DARPA
that gets into all this strange stuff. Defense, right, it's
all about weapons. Everything the government does is seen as
a weapon to be used against other governments or against
us their own people. I just think about that. So

(02:52:31):
their interest in looking at UFOs was to develop weapons.
What does that tell you about government? Back in that
era two thousand and eight twenty eleven, Nap heard the
name doctor James Lekatski a few times, mostly in hushed whispers.
Napp finally met him face to face on Saint Patrick's

(02:52:52):
Day twenty eighteen at a meeting in Washington arranged by
Senator Reid. That's when Napp received a full download about
ASAP that stunned him. And again, because of his government,
we never know what is true and what is a lie.
You know what is programming and what is actual information.

(02:53:15):
But let's just go with what they have to say
here for a moment. Here. When they found and what
they found in this sprawling UFO investigation is that these
unknown craft, whatever they are, seemed to generate spooky phenomena
that seemingly should not exist. We went heavily into Skinwalker Ranch,
a property of Robert Bigelow's, said Lakatski. He offered a

(02:53:36):
facility where we could see UFOs and the paranormal all
at once. So how did this ranch in northeastern Utah?
And again, I don't focus on this stuff, but I've
heard of Skinwalker Ranch. That's the kind of name that
sticks with you, doesn't it. It was, you know, how
did this happen? Previously owned by Las Vegas aerospace tycoon

(02:53:58):
Robert Bigelow, had that become part of the government's UFO investigation.
It all started at Defense Intelligence Agency DA, where rocket
scientists and intelligence analyst Lakatski and a colleague, Jay Stratton,
became both puzzled and alarmed by reports about UFO intrusions.
As many of our nation's most sensitive at many of

(02:54:19):
our nation's most sensitive national defense facilities. Residents of the
Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah have been reporting frequent UFO
incidents for decades, probably longer, and the big Ol Ranch
was deemed an epicenter of weird activity, not just of UFOs,
but also of unknown creatures and things that presumably exist

(02:54:41):
only in myths or movies. Bigelo's organization NIDS, the National
Institute for Discovery Science, moved onto the ranch and its
team of scientists investigators began collecting testimony from residents, then
started seeing the creatures and phenomena for themselves. Lakatski, Stratton,
and the Losses of the Dea were intrigued, not repelled

(02:55:03):
by the wall stories. They wanted to know if UFOs
and seemingly related paranormal incidents might be considered to be
a threat. We were uncovering many of the things that
you were observing, you know, strange creatures. I mean, think
of inducing what might be called delusions by some people
into an enemy force again weaponizing it. This is why

(02:55:24):
these people started doing LSD as well why they create it.
They wanted to give it to the enemy force so
they could use it. LSD as a weapon then wound
up using it as a weapon against us anyway. We
wanted to learn what might be weaponized here, he said,
always weapon, weapon, weapon, And again, isn't this very much

(02:55:45):
like the plot line behind the Aliens series? Right, Yeah,
let's bring that thing back. We could use that as
a weapon against people crazy anyway. The main focus was
UFOs and UFO technology, but one smaller focus was the
measurable health effects some people who had encountered a UFO

(02:56:06):
and were physically harmed or developed rare diseases, including psychological
effects that allowed ASAP to cast a wide net and
to report seemingly outlandish stories about creatures, poultrygeist type activity,
and other weirdness. Lukatski said that ASAP created a massive
database of UFO accounts, but the witnesses are typically reluctant

(02:56:30):
to admit they had also had paranormal experiences. After encountering UFOs,
we realized that people who openly say I saw UFO
up close maybe on the ground that they always seemed
to have a paranormal connection in some ways if you
gently push them. And as I said, I've seen a
lot of Christian commentators researchers who look at this and

(02:56:53):
believe that this is spiritual manifestations. It's a combination of
physical and spiritual there the connection between UFO encounters and
paranormal experiences is not new. It traces back to the
first big UFO event of the modern era. Nineteen forty seven,
a pilot named Kenneth Arnold saw nine objects flying in
formation over Washington State. His family said that for most

(02:57:14):
of the rest of his life, his home was bedeviled
by inexplicable phenomena. Perhaps the strangers experience reported by nearly
everyone in OSAP who visited the Big Olo Ranch is
what is now known as the hitchhiker effect. At least
five highly experienced intelligence officers who went to the ranch

(02:57:35):
to check things out came into contact with paranormal phenomena
and then took it home with them. Then and their
families would see balls of light inside their homes, shadowy figures,
even creatures that were physical, not a mere mental image.
After one investigator returned from the ranch to his East
Coast home, his entire family was bedeviled by orbs and

(02:57:56):
what they described as a wolf that walked on two legs.
So because he had a choop of barrow, that hitchhiked
home with him right, the one here in the Washington area.
That's why you have to say paranormal. I mean, what
did it get on a train or plane to come
to Washington. It left deep scratch marks on the tree
that it was resting against physical evidence. Among those reported

(02:58:21):
hitchhiker type events, you have the Las Vegas manager for OSAP,
a physicist, the Defense Intelligence Agency's Jay Stratton, several security personnel,
and the former owner of the ranch, Robert Bigelow, all
had hitchhiker type events. After the existence of OSAP and
the first reported in twenty eighteen by Channel eight News.

(02:58:44):
They said the full scale of the strange phenomenon it
had examined was made public by doctor Lakatski in his books,
including The Newest One New Insights. Skeptics claimed that the
da had killed OSAP at the end of twenty ten
because reports are received were simply too weird. The man
who oversaw every part of OSAP and the weirdness had

(02:59:06):
nothing to do with it. That DIA leadership was supportive
to the end. But did they ever have this opinion
that it was getting kind of weird? Ask the reporter,
nap Lekanski said, No, they never did. They basically just
wanted it kept quiet, that's all. They didn't want to
see it in the Washington Post. And again, I think
that is the key thing when we look at the technocrats.

(02:59:28):
I've had some Christian documentarians said they went to the
Burning Man thing and they said, yeah, there's all these
billionaires from Silicon Valley over here there taking drugs, you know,
like the one that you I don't even know what
it is, it DMT or something that you see the
mechanical elves or something. All having in similar experience said yeah,
they're downloading technology with it. It's kind of interesting. I think, well,

(02:59:52):
that's all the time we got for today. I think
you have a good day, or.

Speaker 5 (02:59:55):
Even take a photo on a phone, there is machine
learning in the background.

Speaker 3 (02:59:59):
Highest quality of the you'll capture ever in a smartphone.

Speaker 5 (03:00:02):
In the metaverse, we're going to need AI that is
build around helping people navigate virtual worlds as well as
our physical world with augmented reality. Augmented reality is a
profound technology that includes like your position in three D space,
your your body language, facial gestures. We invented new intimate
ways to connect and communicate directly from your risk everything

(03:00:28):
from virtual reality to designing our own data centers.

Speaker 6 (03:00:31):
Describing what's coming even it's just so different in you.
I've been in this infrastructure business for three decades.

Speaker 7 (03:00:37):
No one has ever seen industry.

Speaker 5 (03:00:39):
Yeah, and now I expect that these trends will only
increase in the future.

Speaker 7 (03:00:44):
In the last few months, we launched voice and vision
capabilities so that chat GPT can now.

Speaker 3 (03:00:49):
See here and speak.

Speaker 7 (03:00:55):
Courts up to one hundred and twenty eight thousand tokens
of contexts.

Speaker 3 (03:00:58):
That's three hundred a standard book.

Speaker 5 (03:01:01):
That's all AI generated. Actually, let's add some alto Cumulus bus.
