Speaker 1 (00:29):
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
As the clock strikes thirteen, it is Friday, the fifth
of December of Our Lord twenty twenty five. Had a
little bit of technical issues there. I was about to say,
is it on. Thank you for your kind attention as
Trump ends his tweets out there. But I think we've
got some things that you're going to want to pay
attention to. A big news in the areas of automobiles

(01:33):
as well as we have the guy who gave the
order for the follow up strike to murder the shipwrecked
people in the water. That admiral spoke to Congress yesterday,
and now we have the bipartisan expressions of concern about
this stuff have now melted away. Now we're back to partisanship.

(01:56):
I want to tell you what's happening with that and
some amazing we're up to very important anniversary. When it
comes to COVID, we'll be right back. Stay with us. Well,
I'm going to begin with the car information because we're
going to start with the way the government controls the

(02:16):
way we're moving, and of course the rug pull and
the ropidope that the electric vehicles were all about has
now been exposed in the UK. Is they're increasing taxes
on evs after they got people to buy them. But
it's more than about that, it really is. And then
there is some important news about flock. Actually there was

(02:39):
a court case in Washington State that got flock shut
down in a couple of cities. So we're going to
talk about that. That's very important. Trump has ordered approval
for the many k cars or Kai cars. I don't
know how they are Ki cars out of Japan. Now,
these are small cars. They're going to have a limited
appeal because Americans just don't like small cars. However, you

(03:03):
should be able to buy any kind of car that
you like. And so what is being done about this?
This is not what we were talking about in terms
of well, we've talked about this many times, Eric Peters
and I, but this is not what we were talking about.
In terms of Trump's statements on CAFE standards. He's going
to relax those back after Biden really put pedal to

(03:27):
the medal on banning all internal combustion engine cars. That's
what that's really about. That's why they keep ramping it
up to impossible levels levels that they'll just have to
stop making them. And so he has kept all the
mechanisms in place. He hasn't taken away the power from

(03:47):
the EPA, but he has told the Department of Transportation.
Now in the case of these Kai cars, I guess
that he pronounced them ki. I guess Kai cars.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's beyond my jet these knowledge.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, he's told the Department of Transportation secretary
to authorize production. And Eric Peters is weighed in on this.
I'll tell you what Eric Peters says about this, but
it is there's two wars on cars. One of them is,
of course, the safety standards and mandates that have been

(04:23):
adding weight and an efficiency to the car in terms
of fuel and especially cost. And so there's that, and
then there's the war that the EPA conducts, which is
to say that CO two is pollution and it's not.
EPA was created by Richard Nixon supposedly to come after pollution,

(04:46):
but then its mission became coming after cars themselves, to
try to regulate CO two, which is not a poison.
It is necessary. It is a product of life, and
it is necessary to life the way God designed things.
Animals exhale Co two and plants need it. They don't

(05:06):
inhale it, but they process it. And so it is
a symbiotic relationship by design, and the government wants to
change all of that pretend that that's not happening. So
Trump said he was intrigued by the tiny cars that
he saw in Japan. Of course, this is part of this,
is in the game that he's playing with tariffs. This

(05:29):
says a carrot that he's holding out to the Japanese,
but it's to allow them to be produced in the US.
I don't know really what that does. He says it
very small, they're really cute. How would that do in
this country? Well, we'll know when he starts, when they
change the beast over to one of these things. I

(05:50):
don't see Trump giving up any of his limousines for this,
or any of his private jets or anything.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'm just imagining like a clown car, them loading six
to eight Burley service agents in there, and they're just
all popping out.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
It'd be like when they all piled on the Reagan
after he was shot.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
That you have the beast in the barmit.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
So he's gonna also says he's going to loosen the
Biden era fuel efficiency rules. I think we call that
the Biden error R R R. We're going to approve
those cars, he said. I've instructed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
to authorize production. Kai cars are hugely popular in Japan,
making of about a third of new vehicle sales. In

(06:31):
the US, they've developed a niche fan base through a
law that allows imports and models older than twenty five years,
but many states restrict or ban them over safety concerns
about their size and speed among large American trucks and SUVs.
Well again, somebody who drives a Miata, who cares? You know,

(06:56):
I've passed that point a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Listen to your brother.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
The car's gonna get stuck in my grill.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I ain't even don't see it right. You do feel
like that when you look back in the room of
your mirror and you say how big the pickup trucks
have gotten. It's crazy, you know, the just the top
of the grill.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
My favorite thing is that they all now come equipped
with those ultra bright lights, and every single one of
them has been lifted so they all shine directly through
your rear window. Blinding you. It's truly wonderful. It's not
as bad here, but in Texas fifty percent of the
people are driving lifted trucks and none of them take
them off road. That's my biggest complaint. If they all

(07:35):
drive lifted and none of them take them off road.
They will slow to it, absolute crawl for a speed
bump in a parking lot. And she's like, what's the point,
what's the point of this? What did you do this for?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, they he's an authorized production. So I mean, what
is the Department of Transportation going to get into the business.
Are they going to put something through like the Chips Act?
Are they going to have the Cars Act or something
like that. Well, they move from prohibition to subsidy, or
they just leave us alone. That's the key thing. Duffy said.
His agency has now cleared the deck for auto makers

(08:09):
like Toyota to sell smaller, more efficient models in the US.
Toyota declined to comment. And of course that is really
the crux of the issue. You can make the cars,
or Eric Peters points out, you can make the cars.
You've been able to make the cars here, but it's
hard to sell cars if the Department Transportation prohibits their
use on so called public roads, which, as Eric Peters

(08:31):
points out, really government roads. They will tell you what
you can and cannot do on their government roads, even
though you paid for it. Bloomberg says Trump's new found
enthusiasm has been used as leverage in the US Japan
trade talks, or the idea of Japan importing more American
made vehicles helped more negotiations, helped to move them forward.

(08:53):
Ultra compact cars have made several attempts to break into
the American market before. In the nineteen sixties and seventies,
Models like the Subaru three sixty the Honda N six
hundred targeted budget conscious drivers, but they struggled against tougher
safety standards and against Americans preferences for bigger and more
powerful vehicles. And of course this has always been an

(09:15):
American thing. I remember the first time when it struck me.
I went with a group in nineteen seventy three to
Europe and we went to several different countries, which are
the time that were not really homogenized. Now they're kind
of getting homogenized around Islam. But I don't know what
your real law says about the size of cars or

(09:37):
safety standard.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I'm so glad Europe is becoming such a peaceful.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
But anyway, we were driving around, you know, in these
other countries, and after a couple of weeks, it kind
of got used to the size of the cars. At
first it was like, wow, those are really tiny, and
so we got used to it being there for a
couple of weeks. Come back in New York and everybody's
driving these big American sedans and it's like, it was
really kind of strange getting acclimated to these tiny cars

(10:05):
and then seeing the big American cars again, and that
was everybody's taken all this stuff. My mom freaked out
when I bought a Triumph Spitfire because you'd always drive
around in a Cadillac, and you know, it's a.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
You could put the Spitfire inside the Cadillac.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, a couple of them actually, But anyway.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Reminds me of a sent you that one clip from
the second Muppet movie that came out a few years
ago where the European police officer is dealing with the
American Eagle agent.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Whatever he is.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
They walk outside and he says, oh, this is my car.
The Beast or whatever it's just this tiny little box,
like it's so large and luxurious, so I almost feel
bad driving it.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, the yeah, it is a marketing issue for them, really,
and so they they've tried this in the past, but
for the most part they don't. And then they had
a resurgence they tried to get into two thousands with
the smart cars. Remember those did not happen. I got
a little bit of traction in cities, but it did
not last. And so the question is, as I look

(11:10):
at this, could relaxed standards bring back sports cars like
the original Miata, keep, make it lighter, make it more affordable. Well,
as we said yesterday with Eric Peters, I really don't
think that would do it, because, as Eric pointed out,
a lot of people don't view them as practical. You know,
they even if they don't have kids, you know, soccer

(11:31):
moms with the SUVs or the vans, even if they
don't have kids. Everybody believes that they need to be
able to carry stuff, and so they buy a car
for the worst case scenario of having to carry stuff
all around, and so they don't see it as a
viable day to day driver, which is the way I
used mine and I don't go anywhere today. Now, I know,

(11:53):
I hardly ever go out, but I use that as
a as a day to day driver, now, you know,
I take it occasionally just for fun to drive around
the mountains. But that's the way most people would have it.
They would not view it as a practical car in America.
So I don't see the small cars coming back, even
if you've made them cheaper and more fun. People just

(12:14):
don't have the money for it. And that's the point
that Eric Peterson talks about. He also talks about the
Toyota Hihlux, and that was something that we got a
lot of amusement out of the way. Jeremy Clarkson and
top Gear talked about the Toyota Highlux, the diesel pickup
that was not allowed to be sold here in America.

(12:34):
Both the Department of Transportation and the EPA hated a
car like the Highlux because they didn't have all the
air bags and stuff that the DOT wanted and it
didn't have and it had a diesel engine, which the
EPA did not like. But the thing was basically indestructible.
And that was at least one episode that they built
it around. And then after they did everything they could

(12:55):
to kill this car, including driving it into the ocean.
It was still running, and so they in a place
of honor they hung it from the ceiling, and they
would always talk about how that was indestructible. But you're
not allowed to have one in the United States. Other
countries around the world are allowed to have it. But
America is not a free country.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
The Taliban and Isis can drive those little Toyota high
Luxes all over the place.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, not you. You don't need those. That's why they
have the advantage in asymmetric warfare.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
What if I were to promise not to put a
gun emplacement on the back and I drive it, then.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Well, Trump says Eric Peters appeared to say, the American
is going to be allowed. Isn't that great? Allowed to
buy small, inexpensive vehicles that are not currently available for
sale in America. So that's really kind of where we
are in America, isn't it. Everything is prohibited unless expressly allowed.
That's true of medicines, it's true of cars. It's true

(13:49):
of so many different things. In America, is so legal
to sell them, the Toyota high Lucks and others, these
so called Kai cars abundant in Japan, but unavailable here
of course, and not just in Japan at many places.
So the President said that you're not allowed to build them,
which isn't exactly true, said Eric Peters. The manufacturers could

(14:10):
build them here. The problem is that because they're not
compliant with DOT rules, they can't sell them here. And
you know the E P A plus the the DOT,
so you can allow. They will allow them to be
sold for off use, off road use only, and he

(14:34):
talked about other vehicles as well, like the rock sore,
which he says looks like in original World War Two.
Will lease jeep legal only for off road use, and
so he says, the reason they're not produced area is
because it makes no economic sense to produce to produce
them here if you can't sell them here or use
them here. He said, to be absurd to produce a

(14:54):
vehicle meant for use on public roads that cannot be
used on public roads. It's fine to buy one of
these rock soars, a kind of a primitive jeep or
a side by side, if you've got a farm or
enough land to knock around on and enough money to
buy a fun toy to play with in the field.
Most people have neither, And I would say that, just
as I said about the small cars, the kay cars

(15:16):
and Miatas and things, most people view them as just
a fun toy, even if you're allowed to drive it
on public roads, and they don't have the money for
that anymore. So most would never even consider buying a
four off road use only Toyota high Lux Champ or
any other vehicle like that. Second thing is that it's

(15:36):
more expensive to produce them here than anywhere else. High
Lucks that Toyota offers for selling other places for sixteen
thousand dollars would probably cost twenty five thousand dollars if
we're made in the US because of the much higher
manufacturing costs in the US. And of course, what has
Trump done. He's driven the manufacturing costs up. He's put

(15:59):
tariffs on metal and things like that that are used
for car manufacturing. And that's not even including the components
that you now have to pay extra money for tariffs
to the government to bring them in. And I can
say it's one of the reasons why I'm so adamantly
opposed to this lie that is being pushed by Trump

(16:19):
supporters that tariffs don't affect the cost of anything. I
remember the first time we went to England on our
honeymoon and I was looking at cameras and I had
just bought a camera before we took the trip, and
I was amazed at how expensive the prices were.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
And it was.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Simply because of TIFFs. Why did they have to pay
two or three times as much for a camera in
London as I had paid in Tampa. Well, it's not
just the cost of living in a bigger city. It
was because of tariffs. The cameras were still made in
both places. They're made in Japan, and they had tremendous

(17:00):
tariffs there in London. And I thought, and why is that?
Because they're not making They don't have a British camera
manufacturer that they're trying to protect here, Right, It's just
the government is greedy, and that's the case with most
of Trump's tariffs. He's not even protecting an American manufacturer.
It's just he wants the money. Low cost vehicles like

(17:21):
the Highlucks are not compliant. Some of them have no
air bags and too few to be compliant with federal
safety standards. You know, this is actually like the people
who say it's an existential threat. We've got to cut
down emissions. We've got to cut down all the greenhouse
gases and CO two that are coming out of cars.

(17:43):
And just like with the COVID mcguffin, if you came
up with a solution that wasn't one of their partners
in big Auto, just like one of their partners in
big Pharma, if you came up with a solution that
didn't involve the politicians and their corporate sponsors, you are
not allowed to do it. There were a lot of
people who came up with even like you know, small

(18:06):
electric vehicles, and they would make them three wheel vehicles
because that's the way they got around the Department Transportation.
But still they couldn't get these things into production. I mean,
there was even a small three wheel gasoline car that Ilio.
Remember that the guy was going to make it in
the US and it was going to get something like

(18:27):
eighty miles per gallon, but he couldn't get past the
government regulations and other issues that were there, and they
had to go with a three wheeler because if they
didn't go with a three wheeler, the DOT would shut
it down. From the very beginning. Some of them have
nowhere bags at all, So it's downful any of them
could pass federal side impact and rear impact and other
such standards making them compliant would just be just as

(18:50):
expensive as the cars that we are allowed to buy,
which brings up the issue exactly, how are they going
to allow only small cars to get around the side
impact and rear impact and airbags and all the rest
of the stuff regulations. Are they going to have a
carve out saying if you're this size, you don't need
to have that kind of stuff, or they're going to

(19:12):
get rid of them altogether. If you want it, you
should be allowed to buy it. But if you don't
want it, you shouldn't be forced to buy it. And
that goes back to that video that we showed a
couple of weeks ago of these Democrats calling for mandates
on safety features and the Republican counterpart who used to

(19:33):
be a car dealer, and he went around and got
their vehicle identification numbers, and he found that even though
they had the option to buy these safety devices for
their cars, and they bought their cars, none of them
chose to buy that. And so here they are telling
you you must buy it because I say so so
while none of them pollute, the emissions of CO two

(19:54):
are not a problem. They have engines that run all
the time, unlike the hybrids that are being shoved on
our throats. They achieve compliance by cycling the engine off
as so often as possible. So that's the game that
they're playing with hybrids. Oh yeah, it's got you know,
when it runs. Its emissions are really no different than
the other vehicles are out there. But we can turn

(20:16):
the engine off and run it off the battery for
a while. But they don't like to have any emissions.
In places like the UK, it's zero emissions and only
if you have a zero mission vehicle totally electric are
allowed in the cities. And so now they're coming for
those I've said from the very beginning it's about banning
private transportation completely in private car ownership. But anyway, going

(20:38):
back to Eric Peters, he said, the hybrids that we're
allowed to buy naturally cost more because of the expensive
hybrid equipment a electric batteries, electric motors and all the
complicated stuff to switch back and forth. So to be
legally able to offer these for sale vehicles like the Highlox,

(21:00):
the federal regulations mandating such things as multiple airbags and
many other things don't have to be set aside, but
they have not been set aside, he said. More finally,
the apparatics that emit them have not been set aside.
So these bureaucrats who are out there doing this stuff,
and again, what are you going to do? Are you know,

(21:20):
are they going to set these things aside? If they do,
are they only going to do it for small cars?
You know, we can't have it set aside for everything, right.
Any talk about such vehicles being allowed as wishful thinking
at best, disingenuous at worst. And I got to say,
if they're going to say, well, we want the Chai cars,
so we're going to set aside the regulations for the

(21:41):
Kai cars, how are they going to get that justified?
Because people are going to say, well, you need it
even more on the small car than you need on
the bigger cars in order to protect people and keep
them safe. Seems to me like they'd run into even
more opposition if they carve it out just for the
small cars.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Don't expect any logic from this. It reminds me of
the app Terra stuff and about ten years ago, more
or less there was several car companies that were trying
to create a cheap car in the US, a small car,
and they all had to do a three wheel vehicle.

(22:19):
Elio Motors was another one. Yeah, they were restricted to
three wheels because they had lighter regulations on motorcycles.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, so they could create.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
Something that was basically a car but just had one
big wheel in the back, and that got them around
some of the regulations that they at least had a chance.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
I think most of them went under anyway.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, the app Terra was really a bizarre looking thing.
I mean that was something. If you saw that, it
was like some looked like it was going to be
a flying car or something like that. And it had
solar panels across the top. But a very very different
car three wheeler. I never ever saw one in real life.
I don't know if they ever wound up even making
them or not.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, I never heard came about it. Besides that, we're
working on this, we're trying.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
So he says Trump could just decree the Safety and
Emission Regulations null and void, which is what he should do.
He said that would change everything in a very good way. Yes,
it would. If you support the notion that other people
ought to be free to decide for themselves whether they're
willing to risk driving a vehicle without airbags because it
would enable them to buy a new vehicle that they

(23:25):
can otherwise afford. But when was the last time that
you heard Americans say it's a free country? Yeah, Eric
and I on the same page with that. Trump could
make it a lot freer because it's important that no
one would be forced to buy an airbag vehicle. They
would merely be available. But the regulatory bureaucrats at the

(23:48):
Department of Transportation as well as EPA. He said he
can authorize Duffy to allow the production of non compliant vehicles,
but that's a very different thing than authorizing their lawful
sale to Americans, and the bureaucrats are not going to
go quietly into that good night. At least though it's
being talked about. It could gin up the needed public

(24:12):
political support to get the federal apparatics out of our
business as regards the kind of vehicles we're allowed to buy.
I think we're going to the only solution of this
is going to be if federal government goes bankrupt, you
could have states, as some of them have done relaxing

(24:34):
gun manufacturing laws. I mean, if the states wanted to
exercise the tenth Amendment and nullify federal laws on these things,
you could say, well, you know, you can manufacture whatever
kind of car you want, whatever kind of gun you want,
and you can manufacture liquor that you want, you know,
whatever any of these things are. And the ATF and
the DOT and the EPA, you are not going to

(24:56):
be involved if we don't cross state lines. And so
you can make it here, and we will pass laws
to say that you can use it here. Other than that,
I don't see anything happening. It's not going to happen
with Trump. And so here's the rupodote that yeah, oh yeah,
that's the That's what I'm saying. Look at that. It's like, wow,
now that is really radical styling.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
They had to do this because they had to be
classified as a motorcycle. This right here is a motorcycle.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
All kinds of regulatory hoops. That's what I say. The
big problem with American innovation and American manufacturing is not
the foreign competitors, and it's not foreign governments. We has
met the enemy and these US they're in Washington. They
is the us A and they are the enemy of
manufacturing and innovation in America. In these bureaucracies, they're a

(25:50):
bigger threat to you than China Incorporated. But electric car
demand sinks as drivers in the UK are facing a
pay per mile tax. And we always say this, I
said it, Eric Peters said it. Many people realize that
that's eventually what they're going to have to do because
they'd funded roads based largely on fuel taxes, and once

(26:12):
the fuel goes away, they're going to base it on
how much you use the car miles driven. And I
said that that is actually the main thing that they want,
because that gives them the so called justification to track
and to follow everything that you do. See, they're more

(26:33):
interested in that really than they are in the money.
And that's another thing I've said for the longest time.
The income tax was more about in the early days,
when they didn't have computers in AI and surveillance and
all the rest of this stuff and the know your
customer rules, the income tax was really a way for
them to surveil people and also to set people up
to be prosecuted for you know, for them to come

(26:55):
after their political enemies as Nixon used it in his administration.
I sought to you and so I said, you know,
they could make more money like the people in Europe
do with a that tax. That's a tax, a sales tax.
At every step of production, every time it changes hands,
there's a tax there, and that is embedded into the

(27:17):
cost of items that were made or services that were done.
And so it was something that people didn't see that much.
It was very invisible, whereas the income tax was really
in your face and got people upset and very difficult
to comply with. And they forced everybody to do it
because they wanted that intel. Now they've got other ways

(27:38):
to do it. But the point of the electric cars
was really to throttle private private cars and to make
them difficult and expensive, to ban the cars that most
people have, to make the replacements really expensive, so most
people couldn't afford it. And then if you did get it,

(27:59):
they want to know where you are all the time
and how much you're driving, and so we've got to
be able to constantly monitor you. And that's really the plan.
So they've got a new Chancellor of the Exchequer. I
think it is. It's the budget person. Rachel Reeves in
the UK announced a new pay per mile tax because again,

(28:21):
just like here, you know, the bureaucrats can come up
with their own programs. You know, the TSA wants to
charge you forty five dollars because you don't have a
real id. Okay, we'll do forty five. We'll talk about
doing an eighteen dollar thing, and then we just decide, well, okay,
we had the comment period, wasn't a lot of pushback
on it, So we'll make it forty five. How about that?
And that's the way government by bureaucracy looks like. So

(28:41):
electric vehicle sales grew at the slow strate in two
years in November, the weakest growth for almost two years,
ahead of the government announcing a new tax on evs.
That should be seen as a wake up call that
a sustained increase in demand for evs cannot be taken
for granted. Well, it was always a we always knew

(29:02):
there's going to be a road tax, and we always
understood the purpose of surveillance. So the Chancellor of the
Exchecker announced a new pay per mile road tax. The
levee will charge drivers electric cars threepence per mile when
it comes into a force April of next year, and
it'll cost people on average about two hundred and fifty
pounds a year. The change is meant to make up

(29:25):
for the lost fuel taxes and to start bringing evs
in the line with petrol and diesel vehicles. I mean,
they've used the taxes and fines to push people out
of internal combustion engines, even to the extent that they
charged people money if you to park based on the

(29:46):
fact that it was an internal combustion engine, and if
you had a diesel car that you parked, the fees
were really expensive. You couldn't. They don't want you just
having it setting around because at some point in time
and it hits the fan, they think you might want
to use that.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
But of course three pence per mile is where it starts.
That's right, that's where it starts. It's not going to
stay there for long.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
People look at two hundred and fifty pounds a year,
that's maybe that much. Yeah, that's maybe twenty twenty pounds
a month. I can handle that, you know, which is
maybe what thirty bucks or something I hear.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Of course, for people that are forced to drive, for instance,
if they have a long commute that's right.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
The change is meant to make up for lost fuel duty,
as I said, but it is really and has been
in the long game justification for constant tracking. Fully. Electric
cars make up twenty six percent of all new car
sales in the UK, up from twenty five percent a
year ago. The proportion of EV sales, however, still fall

(30:51):
still falls short of the twenty eight percent annual target
that car makers who fail to meet the level will
risk fine. So that's kind of like the corporate average
fuel economy. What they're saying is you must have of
the cars that you sell at least twenty eight percent
of them must be electric, or we're going to hit
you with a fine, just like in the US they

(31:12):
hit the car manufacturers if they're average fuel economy of
the cars that they sell is under a certain limit.
So same type of thing, same type of thing. So
now gas cars are cheaper to run in the UK
than evs after this tax, unless they said you have

(31:32):
a driveway. So I guess apparently what they're going to
do is to apply the tax when you charge it
publicly or something. It'll make the gas cars cheaper to
round the electric cars unless you're charging it at home
with a driveway. But they point out then the UK,
you know, taxes have been so high there for so long.
Most people don't have a driveway, they don't have enough

(31:55):
space they can park a car.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
The government ca me driveway, took it right out.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Home charging is a make or break factor now for
electric car affordability. The electrifying dot Com compared the cost
of owning and operating an electric Volkswagen with that of
a gas Volkswagen Golf. It's like the rabbit here. Based
on driving both of them for about eight thousand miles
per year, which is about half of what the average

(32:24):
American puts on every year, the electric cars annual running
costs would average about nine hundred pounds, with twelve hundred
pounds for a Volkswagen Golf. However, drivers without a garage
or driveway who rely solely on public charging would see
their annual running costs rise sharply to fifteen hundred pounds.

(32:47):
Only about thirty percent of British households have access to
off street parking they don't have only thirty percent have
driveways or a garage. Drivers who can access a cheaper
overnight rate when charging at home could enjoy substantially lower
running costs at five hundred and fifty eight pounds. But
plug in hybrids meanwhile, will be subject to a one

(33:10):
and a half pence per mile charge from twenty twenty eight,
and it would become more expensive to run than a
gas vehicle if they're not regularly charged at home. So
there you go. That's the ropodope. And it has already
been about saying we've got to charge you for when
you're driving, so we have to see everything that you're doing.

(33:30):
No Reason talks about this is the first time I've
seen Reason to this. Eric has talked about this for
the longest time. New cars at just under fifty thousand
dollars average. They say looser fuel rules could ease the price.
Trump's trade wars certainly haven't helped automobile consumers. They've driven
up the costs because of tariff on metal and on components.

(33:52):
But on Wednesday, his administration did something that could actually
bring car prices down. It moved to loosen, not to remove,
but to loosen the cafe standards. And that's the real issue.
If you leave that in place, and we talk about
the rationale for killing those people who were shipwrecked. Well,

(34:14):
you know, if we didn't kill them, they might survive
and keep doing what they're doing, which is drugs, which
is now evidently a capital offense. That and we will
use the military as the world's policeman. But if you
leave these bureaucrats in place, you've got to do a
double tap strike on these guys, because if you leave

(34:36):
them in place, if you leave this bureaucracy in place,
it will come back to kill us. And that's the reality.
They are as dangerous, if not more so, than fentanyl
because at some level, fentanyl is voluntary, and none of
this federal regulation stuff is voluntary. Under the proposed rule,
a manufacturer's fleet of light duty vehicles and SUVs will

(34:57):
be required to average thirty f four thirty four point
five miles per gallon by twenty thirty one. And so
that's what Trump is going to do. He's going to
pull it back to that, which is still much much
higher than it ever was before. Do you see how
the Republicans Democrats do you want two steps forward and

(35:19):
the Democrats and then Republicans pull back and they know
we're only going to take it forward by one step,
and they constantly do this left right march of tyranny.
That's there, but because the Democrats wanted fifty miles per
gallon target, and that was something that Obama and Biden
put in. The Transportation Department also intends to stop allowing

(35:41):
automakers to buy credits from competitors to offset these fines,
so that system has meant a windfall for EV manufacturers
like Tesla and May. Republicans overruled the senior parliamentarian to
kill California's EV mandate in July. One big beautiful bill
removed fines for automakers who failed to comply with the

(36:05):
CAFE standards, and I gotta ask, this doesn't answer that question.
If they killed the fines for failing to meet the
corporate average ruel economy, why does anybody care about any
of this stuff? What is the enforcement mechanism?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
They're going to show up scold you really bad.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I suspect that they didn't get that right, or maybe
they're talking about California. Sheldon Whitehouse has called it terrible
and predicted that it, if finalized, it will saddle the
US with more pollution. CO two is not pollution, higher costs,
and worse vehicles. So this is as the Reason says,

(36:45):
you know, this is all put in when people freaked
out about the Opec oil shocks of the nineteen seventies,
And that was Carter putting in the Department of Energy
in response to that, and EPA was created by Nixon
to handle pollution. But both of them have wielded their
power by the Department of Energy mandating efficiency and the

(37:11):
EPA banning the production of so called greenhouse gases. Nobody
is concerned about the constitution, and nobody is concerned about
liberty either, and that includes Reason, because Reason says, well,
since the inception of CAFE, the US has transitioned from
a net importer of energy to the world's largest energy exporter.

(37:32):
And this is done in response to the oil shocks
of the seventies. It was done unconstitutionally. I don't care
what your problem is. This was not an option to
even be done. And just like the fifty five mile
an hour speed limit, it was not an option that
could be constitutionally considered. But liberty, Reason doesn't really care

(37:55):
about liberty or the constitution. I guess market forces, they said,
are more important. The influx of Japanese vehicles during the
seventies was caused by people wanting to avoid lines at
gas stations and save money at the pump. Evs have
grown in popularity over the last few years because people
want to reduce gas costs and reduce their greenhouse gas footprint. Well,

(38:16):
I mean, if you want to waste money because you
believe this COVID mcguffin, that is climate mcguffin, that's your choice.
Don't make me play that fantasy game. Like I've said before,
you know, when you talk about the trainees, if somebody
thinks that they are Napoleon, they're welcome to dress up
like Napoleon and march around, but don't make me salute

(38:36):
and don't make me fall in line behind them. I'm
not going to do it. And I feel that way
about the climate mcguffin as well, and we talk about
reducing gas costs. These are people who evidently can't do
the math, because if you pay tens of thousands of
dollars more for this thing up front, it takes a
very long time to get that back. And even if

(38:58):
you don't do the do the math in terms of
the present value of what the money is that you
have just lost over a long period of time. The
Reason Foundation said that fuel economy standards like CAFE cost
three to four times as much to achieve similar gains
in fuel economy and mission reduction as a fuel tax. Well,

(39:21):
there you go. We accept the premise of a CO
two being a problem in addition to not being a
cost effective way they said to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
So Reason just assumes that the climate mcguffin is really
a problem, doesn't question it. Of course, they did the same
thing with the vaccines and COVID stuff, and they would
argue that, well, the remedies for the COVID pandemic, which

(39:44):
didn't exist, may not be the most effective way to
do this, Maybe we have to do something else. So
I look at like a policy issue rather than a
legal issue, rather than a liberty issue. But repealing the
Biden era a CAFE standards probably not reduced car costs immediately,
but it could be a good first step. But the
Trump administration is saying that it will reduce the cost immediately,

(40:08):
and they've come out with a huge number. They say
it would save US one hundred and nine billion dollars.
I have seen them do this over and over again.
Their numbers are always phony, always exaggerated, as is the
timeline that is there. But it's the right thing to do,
and I wish they would do it fully other than
just marginally around the edges.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
Not not all Americans about to die from fentanyl, like
they were going to import enough to kill all Americans,
but now all Americans are going to say one hundred
and nine billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Of this thing. That's right. You might want to argue
it from a individual choice standpoint. So they have and
this is signed in December, it will be there'll be
people of the executives Ford, GM and Stillantis, which, by

(41:02):
the way, Stilantis is not an American car companymore it's owned.
It's a French car company that Obama handed Chrysler to.
They kept the names Dodge and Chrysler and things like that.
But they're the reason that they came up with an
electric charger, which they should have gone with that name,
you know, it's like called Morocco or something. But it's.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
The They really didn't understand who was buying the charger.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
No, and they don't understand jeeps either, because they have
decked out the jeeps that extent that the typical person
who wants a cheap and the things that they want
it for can't afford a new Jeep, and so they've
driven that into the ground. Biden again raised these things
to a ridiculous amount, and they wanted to have eight
to ten percent annually proposed for some vehicles to increase

(41:52):
the corporate average fuel economy. Obama wanted it to be
fifty four and a half miles per gallon corporate average
fuel economy by twenty twenty five. Not possible at all.
That was just going to end all gasoline cars. So
we'll see what happens with this. But I want to

(42:12):
talk about flock because it's something that people don't really
realize just how pervasive and how sinister flock is. And
this is a situation where two small towns cities in
Washington State, Stanwood and another town called Cedro Woolley. They

(42:37):
were challenged by an individual who said, I don't like
the idea that I'm being followed around all the time
by these flock cameras, and so he brought a civil
case against them, and the lawyer wanted this information released
as public data. And I think that's the perfect approach.
One of the reasons that they're getting away with this

(42:59):
is because of the boiling the frogs aspect, they gradually
get us acclimated to being surveilled all the time. We
need to see what a huge step this flock thing is,
and perhaps that might get enough people to push back
that we could stop this thing. And so that was
what the lawsuit was about, and the judge ruled in

(43:19):
their favor and said, if you're going to say that
you can take everybody's picture in public because it's you know,
it's things that people are doing in public, well then
you need to make that information public data by the
same argument, right, if nothing is private as long as
you're in public, and that's the rules under which they
have all the public surveillance, well then the surveillance that

(43:42):
you get from filming people in public that ought to
be public information as well what you're collecting.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
Addition, they're saying, if this is being used by courts
and government, then it must be public.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
That's right, that's right. So two aspects of that to say,
make this in fortion public. So this article from car
Scoops says across the US, thousands of automated license plate readers, Well,
it's actually tens of thousands. And it's not just the
fact that they're reading your license plate. This flock system
is what I've pointed out many times before, is really

(44:16):
setting up. It's kind of like a biometric data system
for your car. They're looking at all the idiosyncrasies, you know,
a dent here, a scrape there, or whatever, to build
a profile of your car exactly, so they don't even
need the automated license plate reader. That just is an
additional verification. So you've got and.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
These things are going up everywhere. There was one of
them where the guy was complaining because it was pointed
at his house. It was pointed road in front of
his house, but his house obviously is in the background.
Anytime he leaves or comes back to his house, it's going.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
To be recorded.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Anytime anyone drives by his house, it's going to take
a picture of his house and him in the background.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
That's right. So this is something that is far beyond.
There already is a vast network of automated license plate readers.
These are things that are put on telephone poles or
above intersections, and then you have the police who are
using their cameras all the time. But it's the flock

(45:20):
network that is so large and so invisible. Turns out
those pictures are now public data, according to a judge
recent ruling, And almost as soon as that decision was
handed down, local officials scrambled to shut the cameras down.
What are they afraid of?

Speaker 6 (45:37):
You?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Seeing that they pull that back. That's very much like
the case that happened with Stingray not too many years ago.
This Harris Semiconductor came up with a way for the
police to do electronic surveillance and use that without a
search one. And so they brought a case again, and

(45:59):
it was actually criminal case. It was somebody who had
done a household of burglary or something like that, so
it was something that should have been punished. And yet
when they brought up the issue of a search warrant,
the judge said, well, I need to see you know
what your agreement is and how you're using this stuff.

(46:19):
And they said, well, we have a non disclosure agreement,
judge with Harris Semiconductor, and we can't show that to you.
And he said, I don't have a non disclosure agreement
and it's nothing that I recognize. You'll either show me
that or I'm going to dismiss this case. They refused
to show the NDA the non disclosure agreement to the judge,

(46:41):
and so he terminated the case and let the burglar
go free. That's how important it is for them to
keep these secret agreements secret, and they don't want people
to see just how pervasive this is. So the ruling
stems from a civil case those two cities. I mentioned
the guy who's an Oregon resident. His name is Jose Rodriguez,

(47:06):
and Jose said, no way, and good for him. He
works in Walla, Walla and he sought to access the
images as part of a broader inquiry into government surveillance.
So he was traveling quite a bit on the roads
and it bothered him that they were keeping track of this.
So the judge sided with him concluded that the data
qualify as public records subject to the Public Records Act,

(47:29):
and that's what Lance was talking about. In other words,
if they're going to keep public records, then people need
to be able to see the public records.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
There's an act that says public records need to be
transparent to the public, but they don't want you to
know that. So decision immediately led to both cities deactivating
their Flock systems. And I bet it was Flock who
told them to do that, because they don't want you
to know. And I got to say that even though

(47:58):
there was a court victory at this local court and
should have been, she made the right decision. Even though
that happened there, I'm telling you that we should have
this fight everywhere. But if we win in the local court,
you can expect Flock, with all the money that they're making,
you can expect them to appeal this all the way
to the Supreme Court. And I think they'll win at

(48:19):
Supreme Court because the Supreme Court has absolutely no respect
for the Fourth Amendment or other aspects of the Constitution
when it comes to privacy and surveillance. We've seen that
over and over again. Just look at TSA, how they've
genlet that over and over again at the Supreme Court.
Even the most conservative with them, people like Scalia, they

(48:41):
are going to they're going to authorize that. So again,
they're mounted everywhere, not just where a crime is suspected,
and they're constantly recording this and it is public data,
but the company pretends that it is private because they're
making this available to police. So while the technology is

(49:02):
marketed as a tool to identify stolen cars or vehicles
connected to active investigations, records already released to Jose Rodriguez
and reviewed by the local station there show that the
cameras capture everyone all the time. He said, the indiscriminate
nature this technology motivated his request. I felt that's violating

(49:25):
my privacy. Everyone's privacy is taking pictures of every single
vehicle that passes by. That sweeping action, the system photographing
everyone was central to the judge's ruling. Attorneys for two
cities argued that the releases of the images would comprise
would compromise the privacy of innocent people and expose them

(49:48):
to stalking. Says, okay, if you've got the government stalking
you and looking for how it can come after you.
But you know, we don't want individuals doing what the
government does.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Right.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Ironically, that is the same argument that many who oppose
these cameras make. Although law enforcement and other private companies
say that access is limited, the reality is is that
no system is without flaw. And the reason why you
want to have a search warrant, folks, is because you
don't want to have a system where like Stalin or

(50:18):
like Trump, you've got to grudge against somebody and so
you start auditing their life to see if you can
find crimes. And it ought to be something that is
an obvious crime, and then you start looking to see
who committed it, rather than the other way around. Bring
me the man, I'll find the crime. There are dicomedic
cases of those with approved access using this system. Criminally,

(50:42):
hackers could also gain access, so the judge rule it
because there were so many photos and it was largely
disconnected from active criminal investigations, they had to be released
under state law, so the attorney who took this so
the ruling highlights how a little oversight exists over this.
They noted that flocks software extends beyond simple plate recognition,

(51:07):
capable of identifying vehicles through model details, through dents, through
bumper stickers, through roof racks. Again, it is biometric surveillance,
if you will, of a non living thing that is
traveling around. They profile it that way. Attorneys for the
cities said they will review the decision before determining whether
or not to appeal. For now, though the cameras are

(51:29):
not coming back online.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
This reminds me of the other video we've played twice
of the hearing where the local officials were trying to
force people to get these safety things put on their cars.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Right, that's right, yeah, but yeah, let's play that. This
is what I.

Speaker 7 (51:55):
Advise you that I got the VEG numbers of every
one of my Democratic colleagues vehicles and found none of
them bought any of the additional safety technologies on their cars.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
I did not know that, Senator.

Speaker 7 (52:05):
So when you are actually shopping for a car with
your own money, you don't buy the technology. But we're
sitting here saying that this should be mandated for everybody
else's cars.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
And what's been the result.

Speaker 7 (52:15):
We drove up the price of cars almost doubled in
the last ten years.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
I object to you stalking my car and my staff
to find the VIN numbers to present to this committee.
Why are you doing there? What are you going to
do with them? It's an invasion of our privacy. If
you take and asked me for my n I will
tell you what I have.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
In my car visible.

Speaker 7 (52:33):
It's visible from the outside of the car.

Speaker 8 (52:34):
You went followed me, went followed me to see where
who drives me? Right down their VIN number? You interrupted me,
you're attacking me. You watched me go to see who
drives me, writing down their VIN number so you could
find out what they have.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
That seems a little.

Speaker 7 (52:53):
Exposed to hypocrisy.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
It seems a little creepy when flock is writing down
your auto your license plate, not writing it down, but
depending INNO their system, which actually is more effective, and
then following you around and keeping all that information and
reporting it to people like her. She would support that
for everybody else, just not for her. Well, the FBI

(53:16):
wants the ability to surveil Americans now with biometric AI drones.
It's not enough to have cameras and all the telephone poles.
It's not enough to have them everywhere and to have
them inside the police cars. Now they want to have
biometric AI surveillance on drones. And this is a request

(53:38):
for information. In other words, they put out a bid
for people to create systems for them. Tell us how
much it would cost. We'll make sure that we get
you the business. And yet another escalation of the march
toward democratic towards technocratic dystopia. The FBI is seeking to
acquire AI surveillance groans, the facial recognition capabilities This is
reported first by the Intersection. This is on Free Thought

(54:01):
project or if you want to find it. It's a
summary from Pleasure to Burn was the author of this.
The agency published the Request for Information reguarding AI Solutions
for Unmanned Aerial Systems drones. The document says the government
would like to know which firms can provide artificial intelligence
and machine learning solutions for UAS platforms drones. The document

(54:26):
list desired features of such technology including object detection, vehicles, vessels, people, animals, firearms,
license plate recognition, and facial recognition. So, now what they're
going to do. It's basically imagine flockle jump on this thing.
All they got to do is move their system from

(54:48):
telephone polls to drones, right, And this is our government.
They have this obsession with knowing everything about us, and
they don't want you to know anything about what they're doing.
If you say, well, I'd like to see the information
that you got, well nevermind, never mind, we're going to
shut this down. Well, let the criminals go free rather
than telling you what our stingray program is about, and

(55:10):
we will shut down the flot cameras in this area.
If that judge says that that data is going to
be released. Federal law enforcement agencies have conducted aerial surveillance
on the domestic population before, especially during protests. Local law
enforcement agencies are adopting drones as well. However, the FBI's
new requests for information on this drone capability aligns with

(55:33):
broader efforts to integrate AI and biometrics into government tools
and operations. And I've said from the very beginning, AI
is about surveillance, and it's about control, and it's about
creating a digital prison for all of us. I mean,
Elon Musk is already thinking about how his products, his

(55:55):
AI and his robots can be used as your own
personal guard in your own digital prison. That it's here,
you know, he's running through the ideas for that. Of course,
it's not practical yet, but you know, the surveillance that
we get through the Internet and through social media and
other things like that was not practical when it was

(56:16):
designed by DARPA psychologists. The technology will come. As they
point out in this article, the FBI surveilling people without
authorization or reason is a long tradition that goes back
to Jaggar Hoover, and they've had their Cointel pro programs
and things like that, and of course the TSA. When

(56:37):
you look at the TSA, what they are doing interestingly
enough that this FBI essentially not actually to the level
of a request for purchase, but it is up to
the point where they are throwing this out there to
give people get people to give them a proposal. The
FBI's interest in this AI drone surveillance US came around

(57:01):
the same time as Christinome at Homeland Security touted a
billion dollar expansion of TSA screening technology to include biometrics
and then the fees for the real ID stuff as well.
Some Americans seem comfortable with such tools being used against

(57:21):
illegals and understand that the way this is going to
run is the GOP. And I'm not talking just about
the politicians. Well, I'm talking about the base. The Republican
voters out there. They're fine with digital ID if you
tell them the reason is we've got to control the
illegals that are here. They're fine with having to have
a number from the federal beast in order to work,

(57:45):
as long as you tell them that's for the illegals, right,
And so they applaud all this stuff. Another big area
that they use for tracking people and getting rid of
privacy and anonymity is to say, well, we've got to
have ID to use the internet now because kiddies could
get online porn. We're not going to ban the porn. What,
we're going to ban the anonymous use of the porn

(58:09):
because they've got to protect the kids. So there's a
lot of different areas where the Republicans are pushing fear
in order to push a mark of the Beast system here,
and the Republican voters are just falling in line with that.

Speaker 9 (58:23):
Fear.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
TSA screening efforts will undoubtedly affect Americans traveling through airports,
but of course flock cameras have been compiling vast scores
of this information on all of us for quite some time.
But we're told it's okay because this is all about
illegal immigrants, it's all about stopping porn, and you'll buy
into it. Right. So twenty fifteen DHS investigation found that

(58:48):
TSA agents failed their breach tests ninety five percent of
the time. This is higher than I've been reporting. I've
been saying like an eighty or ninety percent time. Ninety
five percent of the time, which tells you that there's
no threat to airports or to airplanes, because we would
have had an incident if that were the case. And
they told you that back in twenty eleven. That was

(59:10):
in internal TSA documents. As I pointed out many times
that we were able to see because of a lawsuit.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
May TSA has stopped a bunch of terrorist attacks and
just gotten really lucky that it's all been in the
five percent of things that they catch.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Yeah, that's right. They can't decline terrorism, but they know
when they see it. Right, There's no significant evidence to
prove that the NSA's bulk data collection program foiled any
terror attacks, at least according to a member of a
White House review panel regarding NSA spying in twenty thirteen.
A similar pattern applies to AI technologies. One project that

(59:44):
aimed to harness AI to detect weapons and schools has
grossly underperformed, and another concerning example, a leaked Pentagon memo
expressed security concerns over the hackability of a new AI
heavy arm communications system built by Androil and Palanteer and

(01:00:04):
other contractors. In other words, you're going to become so reliable.
What did we hear that was one of the excuses
actually with the October seventh attacks out of Gaza into Israel.
He said, well, we have these automated cameras and guns
that are there to protect the border and that failed. Okay,

(01:00:28):
So that gives them plausible deniability if they allow it
to happen or whatever. But in reality that you make
a very very complicated system like this, it's very easy
for it to fail on its own. It's also easy
for it to be hacked. So we can't control who
sees what, and we can't see what users are doing.

(01:00:49):
This is this Pentagon system, and we can't verify that
the software itself is secure, and we can't verify that
doesn't have any bugs in it. Androil and Palateer said,
well this is being resolved. Yeah, being resolved with a
little bit more cash applied to the appropriate places. Haig
Seth is seeking to expedite weapons development and acquisition process,

(01:01:13):
especially in these types of AI systems. So they appeal
to the public because the politicians appeal to the public
sphere about immigration, about crime, about terrorism, about loss of jobs,
about election fraud, about coming after the kids, and then
that's all conservative issues. Then we look at the left

(01:01:35):
they get the left buying into this because of fears
of COVID or climate change, because of their fears of
right wing extremism, and so they have a way to
get everybody to buy into this. But it's actually easier
for them to get this stuff pushed forward with a
conservative nominal Conservative politicians like Trump and his conservative base

(01:01:59):
who doesn't like all these things like immigration, crime, terrorism, drugs,
election fraud, taking my job, all these things. That's why
they put Trump in because they know they can manipulate
the MAGA people. They're operating out of fear, and they
are clinging for safety from the They want safety from

(01:02:20):
the government more so even than the left does. And
so they're ripe for the picking, ready to be to
be fleeced of their freedom and their dignity. So Trump
is pushing also for a national voter ID system, and
again the Santas and Florida GOP pushing to make everify mandatory.

(01:02:44):
So let's move to a national worker ID, a national
voter ID, a national Internet ID, a national travel ID.
Let's just have a national ID. Let's just have let's
just call the mark of the beast. Right. Surprisingly, many
companies are willing to satisfy these goals because they make

(01:03:04):
a lot of money. Apple recently introduced its own digital ID,
and countless other firms can contract with intelligence agencies. Meanwhile,
Sam Altman is still running around with his creepy little ORB,
wanting to get your eyeball into his database, and he's
willing to give you some crypto junk if you do that.
He calls it tools for Humanity. This reminds me of

(01:03:29):
the Twilight Zone episode To Serve Mankind, right, and it
was the cookbook. He's aggressively seeking to expand the adoption
of his biometric iris scanning digital ID ORB. Considering the
company has said it's open to governments using their technology
and that some countries are adopting their own forms of
digital ID, it doesn't appear that this trend will abate.

(01:03:52):
And of course, you know people like Sam Altman. It's
not just that his business model is based like like
Elon Musk. His business model is based on doing what
the government wants, because the government's got unlimited amounts of money.
Because he can be as evil as he wishes and
he'll still get the government to fund it. And that

(01:04:12):
really is the customer of last Resort. I might even
say the first resort for all this artificial intelligence. Sam
Altman is now wanting to do what Musk does with
satellites as well. I mean he's looked at Elon Musk,
and Elon Musk started open AI and then he took
it over. He's looking at how Elon Musk is making

(01:04:32):
a lot of money launching satellites. Is like that can
make a lot of money doing that as well. Because
my customer is the government. These issues don't originate with
the exponential acceleration of modern technology. They just exacerbate it.
The FBI, course is spying on Americans under Jugger Whover.
The CIA spied on Americans under Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

(01:04:53):
Actually going all the way back to the Truman who
created the CI the NSA. NSA was an executive order,
and Truman created the National security state. He created the
Policeman of the World issue. And then we also have
the Patriot Act that FISA section seven O two surveillance.

(01:05:14):
This all predates the rise of AI. It's just that
the technology has now been designed to expedite and to
fulfill these dystopian plans.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
Yes, I just am wondering why they felt the need
to add in that the CIA spied at Americans under
Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and then every subsequent president
for the entire.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Yeah, I think's right, that's right. Yeah, it is multi
president Joel. Yeah, it's a bipartisan, but it runs through
all these administrations. So an interesting reversal of what I
reported a couple of days ago. A CNN had sat
a couple of days ago that Trump was losing and

(01:05:56):
the GOP was losing the redistricting fight. That's not the
case now because the Supreme Court just allowed Texas to
keep the new redistricting map, and so the three liberal
justices Kagan, Sodo, Mayor, and Jackson all dissented on this.
But Republicans are going to be able to draw their

(01:06:17):
own map in Texas, and whether you like it or not,
that is what the Constitution allows. And jerry mandering goes
back to the very beginning when you allow the states
to set up the election laws. You let them they
set up the dates for when they want to have
their election, and they're the ones who vet the voters
and things like that, and the jerry mandering is really

(01:06:39):
about them being able to pick the voters, and that
is a long standing tradition. I don't like it, but
there was no legal basis to oppose this at all.
We're going to take a quick break and we come back.
It got other news court decisions that have been made
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
You do have comments though, as an avante seventeen seventy six.
So you go to TRD pro at local dealership, price
is sixty eight thousand dollars plus, well keeps going up.
So TRD is a suv Toyota who knows, Maybe it's
Toyota Research and Development real. Jason Barker, K cars, I

(01:07:15):
guess that's how it was pronounced.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
K okay okay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Cars are perfect starter cars for young people starting out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Yeah, it's yeah. These are not the K cars from
Leyah Coca back in the seventies or something. But that
was a platform of generic platform. But yeah, Eric and
I have talked about that. How in France they had,
you know, you could get a license at an earlier age,
and kids were allowed to get kind of a provisional

(01:07:44):
license like a learner's license, and they could drive a
particular class of car that they allowed there that was
not large and it was very slow, and so starters
could were allowed to buy these cheaper, slow cars and
start to learn how to drive. And we've always talked
about that in terms of it being a big jump

(01:08:07):
for people to be able to get into a car.
Now as a team, the biggest issue is insurance. That's
really where they get you right there for the kids.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Yeah, Handy says, when are we going to put exhaust
pipes on volcanoes?

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
My aching emissions. That's right, we'll off to Yeah, it's
just to take care of that someday.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Yeah, they can't actually cause climate change. Know, when Krakatoa,
eastern Java went off, they had a little mini winter
for several years there. In response to that, I put
us up a lot of did a little bit of
geo engineering itself, engineering by the geo of the GEO.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
So I wouldn't mind a little bit more snow during
the winter. So if there's a volcano out there that
wouldn't hurt anyone, feel free to go off. We have
to five tyrants seventeen seventy six. Car prices are nuts.
I was looking at two thousand and nine Corolla one
hundred thirteen thousand miles. It was eight thousand dollars. That
is well crazy, that feels like something that I would

(01:09:04):
have seen as a young teenager. For about fifteen hundred
dollars or something like that. Someone just being like, all right,
I'm upgrading. I'll get rid of this real Jason Barker.
Kids don't have an entry point for life now, cars, housing, food,
et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
That's right, that's that's the point. That's how you do
the you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. You have
to cut it off at the beginning. It's just like
when they come around and say we're going to ban
cigarettes for everybody under this age. You'll never be able
to have cigarettes in your lifetime. That's the way they
do it. You know, if you've never had something, they

(01:09:40):
can ban it from you and hope that you're not
going to be angry enough that they pick it away.
It's harder to take away things from people than to
preemptively ban it for a generation.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Yeah, I mean, even if something as simple as just
fast food jobs. That was always kind of the domain
of teenagers working their summer jobs, but not anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:09:58):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
It's you know, illegal immigrants. You go there and you
basically have to speak Spanish to get your order across.
The only one that's been somewhat protected from that is
a place like Chick fil A because their reputation is
based on their good quality service and how friendly their
staff is. They have to be able to communicate you
within in English.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
If they aren't capable of that, they don't get put
in the front and sure their back end is loaded
with as many as anywhere else. Scone Collo Rose Gardens.
They put superchargers in K cars, no problem, Zoom zoom,
little K car, let's go pedal junkie on top of
cars people can't afford. There is the traffic calming, roadblocks
they are putting in to make driving more difficult in

(01:10:38):
cities that signed on to ice l I is sellis,
I don't know. Rosa Corre talked about this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Yeah, behind the green mask. I interviewed her several times.
She's unfortunately has passed away, but she was very much
into the Rand Corporation and how they would come in
to a community in the early days and they would say, well,
we want to have a community message about you know,
whatever it is, and they would kind of ease into

(01:11:08):
this thing and the tactic that the Rand corporation had
was that they would come in with facilitators and they
were basically guiding the people who were there to make
them think that that was actually what they came up
with as a group as a solution, when in reality,
the solution had already been decided beforehand, and they just

(01:11:29):
used these The RAN corporation just used these people as
facilitators and as influencers. But now you've got you don't
need that because now you've got social media and you've
got the Internet, and that's where the influencers come in
and push the solutions that have already been decided for people.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
We have navoodoo twenty twenty nine. China has millions of
small death boxes waiting shipment to Marx America as soon
as Trump cuts his kickback deal. I can't wait for
my little death box. Yeah, Wally Wallris, you buy it.
Someone side Sam's ue, kids in backste injured, You go
to jail for child abuse, and kids go to foster.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Yeah, except that there's no there's no air bags, there's
no seat belts, there's no padding in the school buses
that they drive the kids around all the time. It's
protected by laws. That's the thing that always bothers me,
you know, and I thought about that as bad. It's
like if they come after me for you know, not

(01:12:25):
having my kids in a car seat or something like that.
And that wasn't just an academic issue. I mean one
of the things that's always bothered me about these lockdowns
that Trump did and telling people that they were not essential.
So we experienced that, and we had a video stores.
We had the stores for about fourteen years, and we
never had a situation where we'd ever shut a store

(01:12:47):
down under any circumstances. If it was a snow situation
where everything was shut down, I had a four wheel
drive and I would go around and pick up employees
and put them in the stores and then take them
home later. But we wouldn't shut down the stores. But
we had a it was when fran came through. It
took out power for most of the areas in the triangle,

(01:13:07):
and so there wasn't any point of us being open.
We didn't have power for our store, and our customers
didn't have power. They couldn't watch movies. But after that,
after about two or three days, one of our stores
and the neighborhoods around it got power back, so we
went in and we opened it up, and Walmart was
right across the street from us, and they were opened up,

(01:13:28):
and so we operated through the day. At about six o'clock,
I mean, it was still not heavy business, but about
six o'clock we really didn't have any people coming in,
but the police came in and they ordered me to close,
and I said, we go. They said, you've got to
close this because you're enticing people to come out and
it's not safe for people to be coming out. It's like, well,

(01:13:50):
you determined that, but I said, Walmart's across the street.
You don't think people are going to Walmart. Look at
all the people that are over there, all the lights
that are on over there, and all the rest of
this stuff. We're kind of hidden over here. And he said, well,
you're not essential. And when I heard Trump use that term,
it made my blood boil. That made me really upset.

(01:14:12):
So we left there and we went to another store
that had been closed, and we picked up some things
that Karen went in to pick up some money that
had been left in the safe in the drop box,
and I double parked out front and we have a
cop who pulls up and the kids have been in
a car seat for a very long time. So while
I was stopped, we let them get out of the

(01:14:33):
car seat. And he came up and he told me
that I was parked illegally, and I said, no, I'm
not parked. I'm just stopped and I'm not getting out
of the car and just stopped here for a second.
And so then he starts arguing with me about that,
and then he sees that Travis is walking around in
the back of the van and he goes, and your

(01:14:54):
kids are not in the car seat. And so that's
about that time Karen came out and and he was
kind of surprised to see somebody coming out of the
store because the entire Stripson was shut down. And he said, so,
what's going on here? I said, you know, this is
our store here, and in his tune change, you know,
he thought we were essential now because we were small

(01:15:15):
business owners, different than the police and carry and this
is an apex. But he backed down to that point
because I was really angry at that point as well,
and Karen really was angry when she came out. It's like,
what are you doing because we'd just been harassed by
these other cops. So I was not in the mood
to take any orders and go quietly. And but that's

(01:15:36):
the thing that really bothered me about this this Trump stuff.
You're not essential. We can shut you down, but we're
not going to shut down Walmart.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
So their reasoning for that is pretty amazing. You're enticing
people to come out like they're going to see through
binoculars that you're open. It wasn't that they're gonna check
online or anything back into That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
They couldn't tell him why we didn't have a website.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Just out there calling to them, come out, come out,
rent a movie. Aye Handy says, I hate that feature.
I rented a car last year. The first time I parked,
it shut itself off. My mind subconsciously assumed the car
was parked. I opened my door and took my foot off.
The break.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Is that the automatic Start Stop system, which the acronym
to that is ASS. By the way, Air Faeders had
a lot of fun with that. It is the ASS
system design buy and four.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
NIB twenty twenty nine. Trump's tax scheme of twenty seventeen
also created the first nationwide Internet sales tax. Real Jason Barker,
of course, Jason Barker's parts of the Knights of the Storm
and find at nights oft Thestorm dot com says pay
per mile or kilometer. Lol.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
I wonder if the English still used the term mile
rather than kilometer. I don't know. Hung on to that
for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
So bogus. The BW mission scandal in USA was terrible
because it took great diesel cars off the market.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
That was the point, you know, Eric and I talked
about that for the longest time. You know, billions of dollars.
I think it's something like four billion dollar fines and
criminal charges against some CEOs because they supposedly cheated on
the emissions test. Give me a break. Nobody was harmed
by that. That was worse than the ongoing scandal about
the air bag deaths. And you know, there was Takata

(01:17:32):
air bags that would degrade in humid environments and then
go off. And when it went off with that degraded process,
it was like firing a shrapnel into your chest and
killing people.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
It's like a gunshot going off and hit people with
the metal particles because of degrading. And they had a
couple of dozen people killed worldwide with that, and unlike
a vaccine that caused massive recalls from Honda and other
companies that use those air bags, But there was no

(01:18:07):
fine like that too against them, like there was against
Folk Swing. They want you to have air bags. They
don't have diesels, that's the bottom line. They don't. All
the rest of this stuff is just phony excuses.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
So bogus. Now it read that one narroway narrowgate ministries.
When the when they outlock cars and people return to horses,
they obey horses because they fart and crap s flow
zero eight one eight, the cameras should need a search
for it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:35):
Flock Shelley. A flock also is facial recognition. It's in
their patent. Flock partnered with Amazon Ring and Sidewalk.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
I saw that was just this week.

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):
Yeah, they're now going to be getting biometric stuff from
all of these private surveillance networks that people have bought
for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
So let me ask you, Lance, what do you think
the slogan's going to be. Will it be one ring
to rule them all?

Speaker 5 (01:19:00):
They could partner repellanteerpell Yeah, Amazon Ring will partner with
a Flock and there'll be one ring to rule them all.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
So we have Wally Wallrice says flock of sheep he
nine se four oh one. The public of my town
complained to got the flock cameras shut off?

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Good? Yeah, good, I say, yeah. You might be able
to do that just by complaint, not by the criminal
complain of a lawsuit. You might be able to complain
to your elected representatives. But you know, it depends. Your
mileage may vary, but you should get it shut off.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
The real octo spook. We pay for the collection of
those records and everyone employed in collecting them. M H
for Zenovonte, seventeen seventy six. That FBI surveillance be AI
drone is a violation of the Fourth Amendment Secure in
one's persons. I'd be surprised if there's anything the FBI
does that doesn't violate some part of the Constitution or
Bill of rights.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
That's right, and the Supreme Court is going to give
them a pass on it. You just watch and see
when you get to that point.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
President of Vante, seventeen seventy six. Again, there's a vast
difference and no expectation of privacy in public. One may
be filmed, recorded by passerby, and the government actively identifying, surveilling,
and tracking an individual.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
I absolutely agree. It's totally right. Well, we're gonna take
a quick break, and we got a new Christmas song here.
I started out with a an effort to go to
redo the Trans Siberian Orchestra's Carol of the Bells thing,
and so I changed it a bit, and then Lance
grabbed it and he just got finished with the AI

(01:20:34):
cover for it. So I hope you enjoy it.

Youk Christmas pars are the rental of the world Jesus

(01:22:45):
s game.

Speaker 9 (01:22:55):
We're back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
I really like what you do with that one. And
we're talking about it, you know, like, well what visuals
are going to put on that music? And so let's
do you know the wise men coming? And you know,
he tried to make it a little bit more biblically
accurate in terms of the facts. It's not three guys
like animals. It was a pretty large entourage that came.

(01:23:17):
One of the reasons that Herod was very disturbed about it.
And if you go back and look at the geopolitics
and where they came from, I mean, these people are
natural geopolitical rivals and things like that, as well as
concerned about there being a king that was going to
replace him. And so when he went back and did
he says, so he's wanted to give a sense of that.

(01:23:38):
It's difficult to do that when you don't have any
kind of narrative to put that in there. So he's
trying to do the narrative of the stories and trying
to make it very accurate in terms of costumes, in
terms of buildings. As a matter of fact, those models
that you used for the castles and stuff for recreations
of what people really believe it looked like the archaels

(01:24:00):
and so forth.

Speaker 5 (01:24:01):
Right, Yeah, I just found pictures of a room sized
model that someone did of ancient Jerusalem, and I fed
that into a AI image generator and just told it
to give me versions of this redone as a real
drone shot of an ancient city from a Hollywood movie,

(01:24:22):
and then I animated those pictures to get the swooping stuff.
I was trying to find the stuff I use. I
couldn't find the exact models, but it was this sort
of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Yeah, yeah, people reconstructed that. Yeah, and those models are fascinating,
but it's also fascinating to be able to put that
in a computer and to basically do a flyover or
through those types of models as well. That brings it
to yet another level.

Speaker 5 (01:24:50):
Yeah, I got a picture of Herod and gave that
into the animator to get there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
I got and when you look at the magi who
were coming from Babylon places like that, I first started
looking at the way they were tired, and he said
it looked a little bit too goofy to be believable.

Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
Got like a bunch of stuff from statues of Babylonians
and drawings that people had done recreations of it, and
they fed that into the generators. But you don't really
see Babylonians represented in pop culture, so it's just kind
of odd to see them. They all there's usually a

(01:25:33):
pointed conical hat, sort of like a dunce cap.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
Yeah, that was the common thing.

Speaker 5 (01:25:38):
So I had that in a lot of the early stuff,
but I felt I needed to tone it down so
they didn't look so much like clowns. Also, the interior
of the palace was a reconstruction of what the palace
in Jerusalem was supposed to look like.

Speaker 9 (01:25:56):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Yeah, Harriet's palace. That's right. Yeah, so great job with
I appreciate you doing that, and we'll be playing that
more as we get through the Christmas season. Here, a
federal grand jury has refused to indict Letitia James, the
Attorney General in New York, over this mortgage case. And

(01:26:17):
again I think they made the right decision. I think
that what Trump did was despicable lawfair, and I don't
think there's an excuse for it. Was a despicable lawfair
for what she did. And if you're going to come
after her, come after her for unjust prosecution. For example,
rather than saying, okay, you made up a case against me,

(01:26:40):
saying that I had defrauded people with these business papers
and try to get a process paperwork crime against him
when he had a loan that the bank agreed to
voluntarily the government, she should not have had any quibbles
about that. She tried to go in and pretend that
he'd made misrepresentations on it. Yet he paid the loan.

(01:27:01):
They voluntarily made the loan to him. They didn't think
they were defrauded, and they were not defrauded. They were paid.
And so same thing with her. She made these statements
on her mortgage case that were really not true. She
said it was going to be her residence. She did
not like Lisa Cook, however, rent this out to other

(01:27:23):
people from the get go. It was vacant for a while,
and then she put a relative in it rent free.
So you could make that kind of a claim tenuously
that it was not done as an investment property, but
it was done as kind of residential property. So I
don't know if that was the basis for it. But
the bottom line is, we'll see this and I mentioned

(01:27:43):
this already yesterday when we're talking about the Democrat versus
Republican responses to these attacks on the ship. It's like,
it's not an excuse to say, well, the other person
did it, so I get to do it as well.
Now we need to have a standard, that is the
rule of law, not to excuse something simply because it
was done by our side and condemn it because it

(01:28:06):
was done by the other side. So basically, two wrongs
don't make a right. The lawfair was wrong when she
did it, and the lawfair was wrong when Trump did it.
Trump doesn't know how to get these lawfair cases through though,
because he's got prosecutors who see what this is and
they don't want any part of it. And so he's
got there going, you know, putting people in that are

(01:28:30):
They got the case thrown out with James Comy because
he had an illegally appointed person in that position, which
is also something that had happened with some of the
lawfair against him. They pulled that back because of an
illegally appointed prosecutor. This was for alleged bank fraud and
making false statements to a financial institution, exactly the same

(01:28:52):
thing that she had come after him for. And of course,
as I played out, James Comey getting released for same
reason that they shut down a special prosecution of Trump,
saying illegally appointed. It's interesting the symmetry with all this stuff. Prosecutors, however,
have a six month grace period to refile these charges

(01:29:13):
following the judges ruling there. But this is something, this
particular case with ilhan Omar, this is not lawfare. This
is a real crime, and this is a real serious crime.
Ilhan Omar has been linked, of course, to this billion
dollars Somali fraud scheme. Seventy members of the Smali community

(01:29:36):
involved in stealing two hundred and fifty million dollars of
COVID funds and millions of dollars was stolen from American
taxpayers sent overseas to terrorist organizations El Shabab I think
it was.

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
Eighty percent of money has not been recovered. And she's
not only involved in that community, but she was involved
in the the actual meetings there. Seven defendants were tried
in connection with the scheme related to stealing more than
forty million dollars in taxpayer funds. Five of them were
found guilty. The FBI is still investigating an attempt by

(01:30:13):
a Somali woman to bribe one of the jurors with
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in stolen cash. The
fraud extends deeper, with multiple schemes of this nature occurring
over the last five years. On Monday, employees on the
Minnesota Department of Human Services accused Governor Tim Waltz of
orchestrating a sweeping cover up to shield the massive fraud

(01:30:36):
ring from detection. He not only ignored early warnings, but
he also actively retaliated against swistleblowers who sounded the alarm.
According to employees, Now Omar finds herself in the crosshairs
of the scandal. The New York Post has published alarming evidence.
It shows that she not only threw parties for one
of the restaurants involved in the scheme, but she also

(01:30:58):
personally knew one of its convicted owners. She introduced also
legislation that led to this fraud scheme. She introduced the
bill that led to two hundred and fifty million dollars
in fraud. Yet she claims to be completely unaware of
all of that. So again, that is a serious crime
and that should be prosecuted unlike the cases. And I think,

(01:31:21):
you know, Letitia James is absolutely reprehensible. I mean, she
went after Alex Jones and Info Wars for silver and
they shut down all of the silver products that they had,
which was a legitimate thing, not just for COVID but
for everything. And it was not sold as a cure
for COVID, but she sold as something that was helpful

(01:31:47):
to avoid infections or something like that. And you know,
the silver toothpaste that they had, even that was shut
down and it is used in hospitals for infections to
treat that. And if she used for there's a silver
sav that is used for burn patients because they are
very susceptible to infections. But she got that band, and

(01:32:08):
he was so concerned with the lawfair involved with it,
he just shut down all silver products all at once.
She also went after Tim Baker, who was pushing it
at the time. But that's not her only issues. I mean,
she's got a lot of issues. She is a crooked
prosecutor whoever there was one. Nevertheless, the charges against her

(01:32:32):
were fake. So there was also a clandestine campaign to
defund zero Hedge, the Federalist and Breitbart that's now been
traced back to the UK's Cure Starmer. How about that.
It's almost like, you know, Cure Starmer is pushing very
very hard for the Ukrainian war. And as they say,

(01:32:54):
you know, the first casualty of war is the truth,
and the first thing happens with wars they start since
the press because me yet another indication that World War
III has begun. The fact that you have these people
in Europe and the UK that are out there rapidly
shutting down free speech in other countries, well, we're seeing
it all the time. I mean, you have Israel pushing

(01:33:18):
to censor free speech here in America, You've got the
UK pushing to do it. You've got the EU pushing
to do it on the internet, and then you have
our own tyrants here at home. It's not like they're
standing up to defend free speech or anything. You know,
they're doing it as well. They did it on the internet.
They did it to shut down their political opposition on

(01:33:38):
the internet using social media censorship. And it's not just
limited to that. They said, the demonetization and deep platforming
included PayPal, Facebook and others. Yeah, I guess I get
on the Rodney dangerfield of censorship. I get no respect.
We had that rodeo a long time ago. But I

(01:33:59):
think it is is notable and disgusting that this is
being done by foreign governments. It's one of the things
that really, you know, irks me about Israeli influence is
that they are so focused on censorship and deleting free speech.
It is one of the most reprehensible things I think

(01:34:21):
they could do. So we have to protect Vladimir. This
is a leaked call showing European leaders looters, is right, right,
They're not leaders, They're looters conspiring against the Trump peace plan.
You know, by no means can we allow there to
be any peace. We got tollect, protect Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
And yeah, also the Ukrainian people. We gotta protect Vladimir.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
Yeah, yeah, because this is not they don't care at
all about the Ukrainian people. I mean, that's you know,
they're they're nothing to them, They're cannon fodder. Not at
all do they care about protecting them for anything. And
so yeah, we we have to protect him, and we've
got to keep this war going. And we've got to

(01:35:10):
escalate this war because people are starting to figure out
what we're trying to do to them, and we've got
to you know, the the the war is what they're
going to use to distract people and also to rebuild
the people following them. And so when we look at
Ursula fondr Leiden, whom I call Ursula fond of Lying,

(01:35:34):
there is now a corruption scandal with her. There's been
several corruption scandals with her. We got to protect Ursula
as well. I guess all these criminals join cause together.
She had a lot of charges against her in terms
of what was happening with COVID and the vaccines and
Fizer and things like that, memos that she had with

(01:35:57):
these and so in this particular case, I'm not sure
which one of these scandals really matters the most of them,
or if any of them do, but they will close
ranks to protect their own because they are all involved
in this type of thing. Well, speaking of protecting Vladimir,

(01:36:18):
perhaps we should get him some T shirts. We'll be
right back.

Speaker 6 (01:36:21):
Hello, it's me Voladimir Zelenski. I'm so tired of wearing
these same T shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with
all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could if only David Knight would send me
one of his beautiful gray mcguffin hoodies or a new
black T shirt with the mcguffin logo in blue. But

(01:36:44):
he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you
American suckers can buy me some. At the David Knightshow
dot com. You should be able to buy me several hundred.
Those amazing sand colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd
wear something other than green military cosplay to my various
gallas and social events. If you want to save on shipping,

(01:37:06):
just put it in the next package of bombs and
missiles coming from the USA.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
Well, we were just talking about censorship and Germany is
acting like actual Nazis to fight a non Nazi. This
is from Anthony Frieda, who I interviewed not too long ago,
and he used to do the covers for Joe Slunty's
Trends Journal. And Anthony Frieda did the cover for a

(01:39:17):
book for C. J. Hopkins that was about the COVID
fraud and Germany doesn't like that being put out there.
And basically, what pull up this cover if you can
lance if you've got it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:32):
What article this is?

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
Actually I don't know if I put that in as
an article. It might have been two days ago, but
it is about Germany. I think it was a title
for it, but the Rise of the New Normal Reich.
And it has a big face mask from the COVID
fraud that's there. And Anthony Frieda did that.

Speaker 4 (01:39:53):
And so this is c. J.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
Hopkins and he calls it the Consent Factory Essays, Volume three.
This is for twenty twenty through twenty twenty one, so
focused on the new normal Nazi approach. And so they said, well,
you can't talk about the rock, you know, and especially
calling us the Nazis, which is what he did. So

(01:40:18):
they came after him and showed that he was right.
Their armed Berlin police officers, writes Anthony Frieda arrived at
the door of author c. J. Hopkins this morning, and
that was November the twenty sixth. Where they weren't to
search his apartment, they conducted the search, interrogate him and
his wife, and they confiscated his computer. It is a

(01:40:41):
new criminal investigation of CJ. And it's been going on
for quite some time, but this is a new level
by the Berlin State Prosecutor once again, as in twenty
twenty three, he is accused of disseminating pro Nazi material.
The pro Nazi material in question his book The Rise

(01:41:01):
of the New Normal Reich Consent Factory essays. As I
point out, and again it's a mask there, you can
see it. Thank you for pulling that up. That's good thinking.
You got it on Amazon. It is available on Amazon,
and I'm sure it's excellent because c. J. Hopkins is
an excellent writer and he's really been in this fight.

(01:41:22):
He's living unfortunately in Germany and where there still are
living Nazis that people acting like it. It's not a hyperbole,
so it's not all pro Nazi. It criticizes this kind
of Nazi approach being done by these neo Nazis, he said.

(01:41:44):
And Anthony free to send this to me, he said.
I designed the cover art, the posting of which prompted
the previous charges about him, which are based on two
tweets featuring the cover of the book and opposing the
so called COVID measures. This new criminal investigation is based
on the publication of the book. So the previously they
came after him for the cover that Anthony Frieda did

(01:42:08):
and for tweeting the picture of the cover. Now they're
coming after him for the publication and the distribution of
the book. And of course you can also see this
article and keep up with this on Anthony's substack. It's
Anthony Frida dot substack dot com and he spells his
last name Frieda. He says. According to Racket News, if

(01:42:32):
you look to Germany, the strongest economic power in the
European Union, it's easy to see where America is going.
I'll say you could see it in the UK as well.
It has about three hundred and thirty organizations working with
federal and state levels of government to suppress speech, and
they have about four hundred and twenty five grants for that,
mostly from the government, and of course we even get

(01:42:55):
grants from foreign governments to suppress speech. That's what the
Israelis do for us, so they fund this work. According
to research from Libernet, a free speech group that tracks censorship,
the most high profile cases of German censorship, at least
in America, have been raids of people who authorities determined
had engaged and quote digital violence for offenses that include

(01:43:19):
insulting someone. So this is speech is violence and digital
speech is digital violence, right, Insane. Prosecutors and police largely
depend on a system of government certified and government funded flaggers.
We used to call them snitchers, right, and this is Unfortunately,

(01:43:43):
when Germany reunified, they brought in the Stasi values from
East Germany. Apparently these incidents and understandably get the attention
and the censorship at ofparatus is much more deeply ingrained
in German society. Germany is the most important country doing
this type of content control work in the entirety of

(01:44:04):
the EU. Well, it's only because the UK is not
technically in the EU. But I think it'd be hard
pressed to see who is worse the UK or Germany
in terms of censorship. I would argue that it has
a significant influence on the EU. And again this is

(01:44:25):
the statement of racket News writing that, but I would
agree with them. So there's not really any light at all, however,
between civil society and the government. In other words, these
people are fully on board with what the government is doing.
And I guess maybe that's the difference between Germany and

(01:44:46):
the UK is that there is more support for this
in Germany than there is in the UK. It's the
leadership in the UK that's pushing this, but the grassroots
people have not bought into it like they have in Germany.
There is a a constant atmosphere of intimidation, soa a
former mayor of Dusseldorf who is now a member of
the European Parliament. People are afraid to speak their mind.

(01:45:10):
The people always have to find some sort of way
of expressing their mind in a politically correct way. That
has created a narrow space for discourse and I think
that is really threatening our democracy and of course, that's
one of the reasons why you have so many pieces
of satire in the past. This is something that's always

(01:45:31):
been in the nature of man and the nature of government.
People always want to shut up somebody that they disagree
with strongly, and government is usually the tool that they
use for that. So you have different things like Gulver's Travel,
which was satire of what the government was doing, and
he had to put it in the form of a
story to get it through the without being punished for it.

(01:45:53):
The war on speech is the most dangerous of all
wars being waged against humanity. You really do agree with that.
I think that's why I support this idea that you
don't censor people in the public square. I think freedom
of speech, just like freedom of religion, is one of
the most fundamental, if not the most fundamental, of our

(01:46:18):
human rights, because freedom of speech and freedom of religion
cannot really be separated from each other. Right you can't
talk about it, then you know they can zip you
up on that. And that's why it bothers me so
much that we have the Zionist politicians in the United
States that have been bought by foreign government that are
pushing through these censorship things like you see Randy Fine

(01:46:40):
and Florida, you know, coming in and making it a
hate crime, and the Republicans being fully on board with that.
So Trump is eager to punish the enemies of these
foreign governments as well, and it's also eager to punish
his own enemies. Look at how Trump hates free speech.
He has gone and after and multiply multiple times. He

(01:47:01):
has threatened reporters and news organizations with lawsuits. We talked
about Lawfair. I mean, he is mister Lawfair. Not only
is he going after his former opponents who unjustly came
after him, but he wants to shut down or shake down,
for millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars, the
people who report negatively on him. And that is our

(01:47:24):
heritage and our right as human beings to say that.
So they want us to live in fear, they want
us to censor ourselves, and that's what this is all
truly about. So again, Anthony Frieda, and you can find
him on substack. His last name is Freda. We're going
to take a quick break and we will be right back. Folks.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
You're listening to the David Knight show.

Speaker 2 (01:49:00):
Well, there is a very important anniversary coming up, the
five year anniversary of the experimental COVID shots Reign of Terror.
That's the headline from Brian Shawhavey at Health Impact News.
The mass murderers, however, are still unpunished. It is a
day that should live in infamy. We still remember December

(01:49:21):
the seventh of Pearl Harbor. Now we got a new
date to remember, which is December the eleventh, the day
that Donald Trump forced the FDA to approve the experimental
Pfizer vaccine quote unquote.

Speaker 1 (01:49:36):
And look, I guess in a.

Speaker 12 (01:49:37):
Certain way, I'm the father of the vaccine because I
was the.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
One that pushed it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
I pushed the FDA like they have never been pushed before.

Speaker 11 (01:49:44):
I wouldn't exactly stay there.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
They're in love with me.

Speaker 13 (01:49:48):
The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind.
All of the countries of the world who are now
getting the vaccine or soon will be getting it.

Speaker 4 (01:49:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
And if you think that, if you think that he's
going to allow somebody that he appointed like RFK junior,
even if our k Junior wants to do it, think
that he's going to allow him to stop this vaccine.
I got a bridge I could sell you in Brooklyn.
The day literally terrorized me emotionally, says Marshall Hobby. And

(01:50:21):
you know, we all went through this to one degree
or the other, he said, I saw it coming, and
during the time, I spent most of my waking hours
writing and publishing videos trying to warn as many people
as possible about just how deadly these experimental shots were,
trying to save as many people as possible. And again

(01:50:41):
this is you know, when you look at what happened
from March all the way through to the end of
the Trump term, how this stuff was going. And you know,
Brian Shall Hobby was doing that, I was doing that.
We could see this stuff. We knew where was going,
and we knew what the plan was. And it was
such an obvious fraud. You didn't have to wait to

(01:51:03):
do the medical science. You didn't have to wait to
do the test. You could see that they had practiced
and rehearsed this for two decades. They'd started rehearsing this
right just before they did nine to eleven. They were
all tied together. This was the other shoe to drop,
and this was all about setting up a permission based society,
setting up moving the Overton window, to get people to

(01:51:26):
accept ID papers and ID numbers, and to make them
accustomed to these kinds of arbitrary violations as well as
martial law. You think about all the different precedents that
were put in there, and then the fact that December eleventh,
you had about a week before Alex fired me for

(01:51:47):
pushing back against this stuff. They were in the midst
of telling everybody they should be voting for Trump, and
you know, we should go to war to keep Trump
in the White House. It's like I would go to
war to get that guy out and Biden as well,
But no, we're going to keep them in, so I said.
Next week will mark the five year anniversity of the

(01:52:08):
FDA proving the so called vaccine, the Trump shot and
warp speed thing December eleventh. During the past five years,
he said, there have been one point six million cases
filed with BEARS the Vaccine Adverse Aventry Recording System. Actually
the exact number that he has here is one million,

(01:52:29):
six hundred and seventy thousand, five hundred and sixty four.
Let's not forget the seventy thousand, five hundred and sixty
four additional over the one point six million, there have
been thirty eight thousand, eight hundred and seventy six deaths
reported following the COVID shots, seventy four thousand, one hundred
and sixty four permanent disabilities. There's not something that anybody

(01:52:54):
ever got over. It's just a fraction of what the
real numbers are. Because we all know, and the government
had admitted Harvard did the study of the government has
admitted it that fewer than one percent of the things
are reported on verirs of the actual events were reported
on verirs, and that was before COVID. With COVID they

(01:53:14):
were actively threatening and harassing people to not report it.
That never happened before, and so this would be even
less than one percent of what we're looking at here,
he said. And of course, you know what we saw
happening right away after these vaccines rolled out. We were saying,
look at this. So we've had enough as many of

(01:53:35):
these vers reports as they've had for the last five
years of all vaccines or whatever. And then it became
ten years and twenty years, and so forth, and this
is more than they've ever had of all vaccine adverse
events reported for the entire time that they've had this
up for thirty some odd years, he said. Since the
database was established thirty five years ago, all other FDA

(01:53:58):
approved vaccines have had one million, twenty five thousand cases
filled of injuries and deaths following all non COVID vaccines
combined for the past thirty five years, twenty three thousand
deaths reported, twenty three thousand permanent disabilities. So this is
three times more than three times the permanent disabilities, and

(01:54:23):
it is probably I guess what we got about another
it's about one hundred and fifty percent one a half
times the number of deaths that they had from everything
else combined for thirty five years. In addition to all this,
there are nearly four thousand fetal deaths following COVID vaccination.
And yet we have people who have the audacity to

(01:54:45):
call Donald Trump great for pro life. When I hear
a Christian leader say that, that's the end of their
credibility with me. They're either beyond ignorant or they're corrupt
telling people what Trump wants them to tell them. There
used to be many more than the current number. They've

(01:55:06):
obviously removed quite a few of these from the database already,
and it's also been verified in terms of if you
look at the massive increase in excess deaths, in other words,
how many more people died than would be typical and
that have been typical. They know that because the insurance
actuarials and so forth over many many decades. And you

(01:55:29):
saw that massive spike when the vaccine rolled out worldwide.
You saw it in all the different countries. So this
is not just people aware of the vaccine adverse events
reporting system using it. No, this is a reflection of
the reality as many standards of deviations away from the
mean for the insurance companies. And they've said that, and

(01:55:51):
then they've blamed it on unvaccinated people dying from COVID
and saying it was something else. The absurd line that
they were telling. It's exactly what we're seeing now with
this Venezuelan thing. These people will tell you the most
absurd lies and they'll keep saying it. You know, that
is in and of itself, is something that the Nazis realized.

(01:56:11):
You know, the big lie. Keep telling the big lie.
Tell it in a big way, and keep telling it
and you'll get people to believe it. Deaths and injuries
to children between the ages of five and eleven after
receiving the COVID shot increased my one thousand percent. He said.
In March of twenty twenty two, I published a prayer
that I prayed and in a conversation with Jesus that

(01:56:32):
I had when I seriously thought about giving up the
stress because it just seemed too much for me. He said,
I was embarrassed to publish it, and I almost didn't,
but I feared disobeying my Lord more as I knew
that he led me to do it. And he said,
I know for a fact that it blessed many people,
helping them to cope with what was happening as well.

(01:56:53):
He said. This is what I wrote in March of
twenty twenty two. He said, prayers and tears are what
have kept me up, kept me saying all of these years.
When we pray and we pour out our heart before God,
it is very important to then stop and listen to
what He has to say. The words will come into
your mind and you should write them down in a
prayer journal. That's what I did here and this is

(01:57:16):
the first time I've ever shared anything like this with
the public. Pour out your heart, he said. Let your
anger and frustration to the one who can actually do
something about it, not to politicians. And then just be
still and listen, and you'll be shocked at what you hear.
He might want to change you instead of the circumstances

(01:57:38):
that you are asking him to change. Think about that.
You might want to change you to what you're going through,
rather than relieving you of these difficult circumstances. He said,
I didn't want to publish this. I feel embarrassed, but
the Holy Spirit made me so uncomfortable the more I
delayed that finally I was more uncomfortable not publishing it,

(01:58:00):
he said. So here we are, five years later, a
nation suffering from Trump's COVID vaccine, and still we have
most of the people who know how evil this is.
That's the most amazing thing to me. You know, you
would think that it would be the left who are

(01:58:21):
scared to death of this still running around, many of
them wearing masks. You would think that they would, you know,
they'd be okay with all this stuff, and they wouldn't.
They're okay with it. So you can understand them supporting Trump.
I can't understand the people who know this was a
poison who still support this guy, who's bragged about it
and who has made it an issue. His very first

(01:58:44):
thing that he did when he came back into the
White House was he brought in people to combine mRNA
with artificial intelligence and to use his billionaire friend Larry
Ellison to tell us that that's what they had planned
for us. It's not amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:59:02):
All he surrounds himself with is this exact same type
of person as well. They're other millionaires or billionaires deeply
invested in the tech sector, and he wants to pretend
to be the blue collar billionaire. Oh, he's just like
the rest of us, and people.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Buy into it.

Speaker 3 (01:59:18):
Yeah, he's got How can you look at this man
with his ostentatious golden penthouses, the people he surrounds himself
with desperate to take your jobs and give them to robots,
and think he's on my side.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
He's doing it for me, to help and to subsidize
people like Albert Borlines. He promotes them, does a joint
venture with him, puts out mRNA plus artificial intelligence, and
people still will defend this guy. I just don't understand it.
But he says, step out of the delusion that politics
and politicians can solve this and come to Jesus for

(01:59:53):
real healing. That's the issue.

Speaker 3 (01:59:58):
Politics. It's just even if we were to solve every
single issue, were we to make America the freest country
on the planet, if you were a slave to sin,
you are not free. That's what matters the most. Yes,
your physical freedom is so much less important than your

(02:00:19):
spiritual freedom.

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
And Brian has got a couple of links to former
articles that he had. Funeral Embalmer says eighty five percent
of the dead bodies now have strange blood clots since
the vaccine rollout. Another one video emerges, We're faut you
and others plan for a universal mRNA flu vaccine, which
became the COVID nineteen mRNA vaccine. So because people were

(02:00:44):
not afraid enough of the flu, so it's going to
be afraid of some imaginary thing. Think about it. The
last thing he did was to give I'll say it again,
a metal. It's a case of commemoration, right commendation, presidential commendation.
I say a metal because that's essentially what it is.
He gave him an honorary award. Trump gave Fout an

(02:01:05):
honorary award as the last thing he did in office
and the first thing he does in office is he
has his billionaire friend Larry Ellison tell you how they're
going to custom make using AI and your genetics. They're
going to custom make an mRNA poison. It's just I'm
done with this guy. But I've got to stop because

(02:01:26):
we've got a guest coming up, Metrouela, and I really
want to talk to Matt and he's got a limited
amount of time, so I'm going to cut this short
and we're going to do a very short break here
so I can get in contact with him and we
will be right back. This is the David Night Show.

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
All right, welcome back and joining us now. As Matrouela
is a pastor out of Whisker Constant. I believe it is.
Is that right, Matt? I think that's right. And I
really appreciate what Matt has done, and he's done a
great job in terms of making the point. He's got
a book, a very well selling book, and it's a
very quick read, and it's really packed with information. Not

(02:03:18):
that it's difficult to understand. It's not dense in that sense,
but it is dense in terms of the richness that
it conveys in a very small book that's easy to read.
And he talks about it from a Christian perspective and
even from a historical perspective. Even pagan romans understood what
we no longer understand in this country, and that is

(02:03:38):
that there are higher moral laws. And we've had this
discussion recently about should you follow illegal orders? Why that's
a controversy, but the fact that it is a controversy
shows just how much we need this book from Matt.
It's called the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate? And how
do we control that? And we have the people at
the top that have gone bad? And you can find

(02:04:00):
that is it DeFi tyrants dot com? Is that the
website Matt I'm just going from a memory here. I
should have it in front of me, Okay, def tyrants
dot com. And so I would highly recommend that you
get that book and read it. It's a small paperback.
It's a great handout to law enforcement and other people.
And that's the way Matt has used it. But I've
had him on several times. And Ryan with for Love

(02:04:24):
of the Road sent us an email and said, you know,
I've seen Matt on many times. And then I looked
him up, looked up his background, and he said, I
think it might be interesting if he gave us his testimony.
And so, Matt, you said you're willing to do that.
Let us know how you How did you become a pastor?
What was life like for you before you became a pastor?

Speaker 14 (02:04:47):
Yeah, let me be in by saying I have a
website or I wrote out my testimony what Christ did
my life? I was seventeen years old, nearly eighteen one.
It all transpired, But I go into my life early
on the website is how Jesus Changed my life dot
com And I got that website prize six years ago.

(02:05:08):
You would have thought that url would have already been taken,
but it wasn't, and so I got it for two
dollars and ninety nine cents. How Jesus Changed My Life
dot com and also Pacific Garden Mission as a show
called Unshackled. It's on in over fifty countries around the world.

(02:05:29):
And they also did a radio dramatization of my conversion
to Christ. And I also had the testimony of my mom.
I did a short sermon about my mom. She was
the first one in our family to come to Christ,
and that's also at that website How Jesus Changed My
Life dot com. So I grew up in the city

(02:05:50):
of Detroit, Michigan, and I was born in nineteen sixty
and while I was living there, a transformation was taking
place in the neighborhood. Busing started in nineteen seventy three,
I think it was, and there was all kinds of
racial tension within the city. And where I grew up,

(02:06:14):
I was a minority, so very different. I live in
a country that the macriculture, I'm in the majority.

Speaker 9 (02:06:23):
But where I lived, I was in the minority.

Speaker 14 (02:06:26):
And so what ended up happening was as a young man,
I got involved in drugs and I never saw the
reason to buy drugs when you could sell them and
make a lot more money. Fifteen, I began to deal
drugs and then had all of the free drugs you
wanted on top of that, and then I got involved

(02:06:47):
more with the bad crowd, you know, stealing cars, robbing people,
fighting other gangs, burning down buildings. These were all things
that were part of my life. My dad had left
when I was eleven years old. On Christmas Eve, he
left my mom and that had a huge transformation in

(02:07:10):
life at our house.

Speaker 9 (02:07:11):
And so I can't.

Speaker 14 (02:07:14):
Emphasize strongly enough how important it is for men to
be in the home, for there to be fathers in
the home.

Speaker 9 (02:07:22):
It has a huge impact.

Speaker 14 (02:07:23):
All the studies that have been done David show the
negative impact upon sons and daughters when the man is
no longer in the home. And unfortunately, by time your
average American turns eighteen in America, more than half of
them aren't living with their biological mother and their biological father.

Speaker 9 (02:07:45):
That's how broken down family is in America.

Speaker 14 (02:07:50):
Imprisonment, drug use, prime all this type of stuff becomes
far more prevalent in young men when there isn't a
father in the home. And as I said, every statistic
proves that it was true in my life, and so
I was living that life, and all of a sudden,
my mom threw me out of the house when I

(02:08:12):
was fourteen for dealing dope, and I went to live
with my dad. He still lived in Detroit also and
didn't have anywhere else to go, and he let me
stay there for six months, and then after six months
he threw me out of his house. So I wasn't
doing good there, and so I decided, I'm going to

(02:08:33):
go back and see if my mom will take me in.
And I remember we hadn't seen each other during that
six months while I lived with my dad, and I
remember standing outside her home and I was just a punk,
you know, and I was thinking, man, I got to
go in here and put up with her mouth and
all this.

Speaker 9 (02:08:52):
And I didn't really want to knock on the door,
but I didn't have anywhere else to go. I'm fifteen now,
and so.

Speaker 14 (02:09:00):
I finally walked up and I knocked on the door
and my mom opened it and she actually smiled when
she saw me and was so surprised. She said, Matt,
come on in. I got to tell you what happened
to me. And I was like, wow, Okay. So I
came in, I sat down on the couch, and she
starts sharing with me how Jesus has come into her

(02:09:21):
life forgiven her of all her sins, how she's flushed
all her pills down the toilet, and she's a new
creature in Christ. And I sat there and looked at
my mom, and I was like, I knew something. This
was not the same woman I knew six months earlier.
Something dramatic had definitely taken place in her life. Understand,

(02:09:43):
my mom was always on psych drugs. After the divorce
four years earlier, it was such a huge impact on her, David,
that she had a nervous breakdown and ended up in
a psych ward four months. Grandparents actually came over and
took care of us at the house while she was

(02:10:04):
in the hospital. And she tried all kinds of things
after that to find peace, to find happiness. She tried
silver mind control, she tried men, you know, tried everything
that the world tells you to find fulfillment in and
peace and those types of things, and never and so

(02:10:25):
she was on these site tregs to controler mood swings
well lo and behold. After I had left, she found
out that my godmother, I was raised Catholic. My godmother,
who was an alcoholic and had ruined her life, was
put into a mental hospital. Three women came in prayed

(02:10:48):
over her, and God restored her mind and she submitted
her life to Christ and was radically transformed. So this
news is all going around in them.

Speaker 9 (02:10:57):
In the family. That Veil that was the name of
my godmother.

Speaker 14 (02:11:02):
Has radically changed her life and she isn't drinking anymore,
and she's out of the mental hospital. So my mom
calls her up and wants to meet with her because
her life, my mom's life, is all messed up. So
whatever happened to you, I want that to happen to me.
And my mom told me as I sat there on

(02:11:23):
the couch that Bell came over and they met at
the dining room table and she asked her point plank,
She said, how did you change? Who's your counselor? Because
my mom was always going to this counselor and another
counselor and another counselor. And my godmother didn't want to

(02:11:45):
tell my mom that it was Jesus who changed her
life because she had been telling everybody that since she
got out of the mental hospital, and they were all like, okay,
you know, well.

Speaker 9 (02:11:57):
That's good for you. You needed that, you know, things
like that.

Speaker 14 (02:12:00):
So she didn't want to tell my mom because of
the negative response and kind of mocking response she had
gotten from various people. But my mom kept begging her
and saying, who's come on, seriously, who's your counselor.

Speaker 9 (02:12:15):
And finally.

Speaker 14 (02:12:17):
She just looked at my mom and said, there is
no counselor in human form. Jesus Christ radically transformed my
life and he healed me. He's forgiven me, in my sense,
radically chance to transform my life. And my mom said
she sat there and she was just like, I looked

(02:12:37):
at her and I said, you're joking, and my godmother said,
I'm not joking, and so she took my.

Speaker 15 (02:12:49):
Mom.

Speaker 14 (02:12:49):
I don't know if you remember back then, David, there
was a huge revival taking place. A lot of Roman
Catholics were being converted to Christ, and there was that
Catholic charismatic movement. She took my mom to that, and
my mom was totally turned off by it, but she
went back a second time and she was completely transformed

(02:13:11):
by the power of God and had become a new
Christian who flushed all her pills down the toilet and
was beginning this walk with the Lord. So she was
the first one in our family to come to christ.
And when I sat there and I listened to all
this from her, and she let me come back in
her home, lo and behold, she gave me a book

(02:13:33):
to read. She said, I want you to read this book.
It's called The Cross in the switch Plade. David Wilkerson,
of course, was the man who started Teen Challenge. She's
an international organization meant to help young people who were caught.

Speaker 9 (02:13:49):
Up in gangs and drugs.

Speaker 14 (02:13:51):
Yes, and he was a country preacher from Pennsylvania. God
called him to New York City and he went and
preached amongst the gangs. Nikki Kruz was his first convert.
Huge transformation. So I started reading this book right across
in the Switchblade. First forty to fifty pages. A lot
of gang stuff, okay, that holds my interest, and more

(02:14:13):
of this Jesus stuff coming in, and I was just
like nah, So I threw the book aside after forty
to fifty pages. So now another two and a half
years go by. Matt Schuella keeps living in rebellion to God.
My life keeps going down like this, And I could
tell you a hundred stories, and I have some of

(02:14:33):
them in that webs at the website where I share
my story how Jesus changed my life. But lo and behold,
I ended up getting arrested for arson and I got
put into the county jail because they decided, even though
I was a minor seventeen years old, they were going
to try me as an adult because of the seriousness

(02:14:54):
of the crime.

Speaker 9 (02:14:55):
And so I went in and over the weekend I.

Speaker 14 (02:14:59):
Got in a holding cell with two black guys. One
was forty something. He was in there for child molesting.
The other guy was nineteen. He was in there for
armed robbery. I was seventeen. All three of us know
a little bit about God. The old guy was raised
in a Christian home. The young guy his dad was

(02:15:19):
actually a deacon at a Baptist church, and of course
my mom had come to know Christ. I could ever
replay those videos like when We Get to Heaven, David,
I'd love to see three dumb pagans talking about God.
And I don't know where they were at, but I
had a serious interest. I saw my life was an

(02:15:40):
utter ruin and so lo and behold. I spent those
two days with them talking about We all talked about
God almost the whole time.

Speaker 2 (02:15:49):
Kind of reminds me of Idin, you know we're talking
about it kind of reminds me of the story about
you know, a blind man and you send him next
to an elephant and he's like feeling around and trying
to describe with this thing is he's never seen before? Yeah,
it's got this really little back. But yeah, that's kind
of what it was like, I guess. So the elephant
in the room, right, Yeah, the elphant room was Christ.

Speaker 9 (02:16:13):
Yeah. So I was going through withdrawal.

Speaker 14 (02:16:17):
I was all messed up on drugs, and we happened
to be right where they had service. We couldn't go
to it. There was a guy in a suit who
came by, and the one guy asked him for something
to read. Of course, he brought us all Bibles. When
I read the Bible, David, I didn't feel any pain
or suffering from the withdrawal I was going through.

Speaker 9 (02:16:35):
He set the Bible down.

Speaker 14 (02:16:36):
After a half hour, I'd start filling all the illness
and sickness again. And so finally on Monday, I get
taken to the cell block. There's nine guys te each cell,
and I walk in and this guy walks up to
me and he says, we have two rules in this cell.

(02:16:56):
There's no fights and if you start a fight number two,
if you ARTI fight, we all jump on you. And
I looked around the room and I was the smallest
guy there, and I looked at him and I said
I liked these rules. And he showed me where my
bunk was, so I went and climbed up on it.
And there's a cement wall with a oh, a shelf,

(02:17:22):
a metal shelf on it, and there's one book sitting
on it and it was The Cross and the Switch
play by David Wilkerson. So here two and a half
years have gone by and I picked that book up.
I spent the next three days finishing the book reading it.
I had just put it down two minutes earlier and

(02:17:42):
my probation officer comes in. She takes me out in
the side room to meet with me, and she goes, yeah,
this is the sentence you're looking at, and we're going
to try to get you into a living drug rehab
program for a year to begin with you off all
these drugs and she goes. The program that we're looking

(02:18:05):
to get you into is called Teen Challenge.

Speaker 9 (02:18:09):
So I had just put the book down that was.

Speaker 14 (02:18:11):
The story about how this organization started, and now here's
this lady, my probation officer, saying we're going to try
to get you a teen Challenge, And that's exactly what happened.
I ended up in Teen Challenge. The courts put me there.
I was sent to three years. I had to spend
the first year in a drug rehab program. Go over

(02:18:33):
here because the sun's moving. And so I went to
church the first Sunday after I was taken there, and
it was as somebody got church called Breakmore Tabernacle on the.

Speaker 9 (02:18:47):
West side of Detroit.

Speaker 14 (02:18:53):
So when I walked in, there's probably a thousand people there,
and people are walking up to me saying out glad
they are to see me.

Speaker 9 (02:19:01):
And I could tell they actually were glad to see me.

Speaker 14 (02:19:03):
It wasn't like they were glad to see me just
because I had a joint to smoke or something like that.

Speaker 9 (02:19:08):
Yeah, they were glad to see me because I was there.

Speaker 14 (02:19:12):
So then we walk into the sanctuary and everyone's talking,
which for me was odd because being raised Catholic, it's
like sh pin drop. Nobody ever says anything, and it's quiet.
And I was looking around, thinking, these people all act
like they're getting ready to see a movie or something,
all talking about And then a lady came out and

(02:19:33):
she sat down to piano and started playing, and people
began to worship the Lord, and they weren't mumbling under
their breath like I was used to when I was
a kid Catholic.

Speaker 9 (02:19:43):
They were actually worshiping him with their heart.

Speaker 14 (02:19:48):
You could tell they really believe in him, they love him,
and it was astounding. And during the first worship song,
as they're worshiping, all of a sudd and I began
to feel odd inside David and.

Speaker 9 (02:20:03):
I thought like I was going to cry.

Speaker 14 (02:20:06):
I didn't want anyone to see that, so I sat
down in my pew and I put my face into
my hands, and for the first time in my life,
I sat there and I felt really bad for all
the sins I had committed, all the bad things I
had done, And what it was was the Holy Spirit
convicting me of my sin, showing me that I was

(02:20:28):
a sinner in need of a savior, namely Jesus Christ,
and so while I'm being convicted of my sin, at
the exact same time, I'm tasting His love in his holiness,
and I'm astounded God actually loves me. I didn't even
love myself. I didn't even think my mother loved me.

Speaker 9 (02:20:46):
God loves me.

Speaker 14 (02:20:48):
I remember that being the overriding thing. I sat in
that pew with my face in my hands for an
hour and a half.

Speaker 9 (02:20:59):
And wept the entire time.

Speaker 4 (02:21:01):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (02:21:02):
I remember I looked up one time and people were
just staring at me, like are you okay? And at
the end, they had an altar call and they invited
people to come up if they want to give their
life to Christ.

Speaker 9 (02:21:14):
I didn't even go up.

Speaker 14 (02:21:15):
I already knew He had changed me, radically transformed me
by the power of.

Speaker 9 (02:21:20):
His Holy Spirit.

Speaker 4 (02:21:22):
And so.

Speaker 9 (02:21:24):
I decided at that time forward that I would live
for him. And that's what's happened. And that was a
long time ago.

Speaker 14 (02:21:32):
I'm sixty five now. That was when I was seventeen. Yeah,
Christ radically transformed my life.

Speaker 2 (02:21:38):
Wow, that is a powerful testimony, you know, Matt, I've
said for the longest time, you know, and I when
we see what's going on down in Venezuela. It's being
justified with the war on drugs. And I've said for
the longest time, you know, I have real issues with
the government being involved in prohibition because you know, it
didn't work when they did it with alcohol, and alcohol
is very harmful. I've said many times I would have

(02:22:00):
supported that had I been back then, because it was
so harmful. It's like, yeah, let's try it. And they
did it legally. They actually amended the Constitution so they
had the authority.

Speaker 4 (02:22:10):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:11):
Very different situation with war on drugs. It was just
and I think they called it. I honestly think they
called it the war on drugs because I didn't want
to use the term prohibition because it's been such a
failure in terms of corruption of government and due process
and creating gangs and all the rest of this stuff.
And I've said for the longest time, and I've interviewed
people who are law enforcement against prohibition, and they said,

(02:22:33):
this is not something you're going to solve with force,
with law enforcement. And I've said, this is a spiritual issue.
And I tell you, your testimony really underscores the fact
that it is. The drug war is really a spiritual war,
and it's not something that you're going to fix with
the police and the military. The answer to that is
our society turning to Christ. That's what happened to you,

(02:22:56):
and so that's really what we need to focus on.
And we try to take these shortcuts and we look
at this and we say, well, we got this big,
powerful military, and we've got this big, powerful police force,
and so we got this hammer. Where's the nail that
we can use against this, you know? And so that's
how we get into these situations when the reality is

(02:23:17):
is that that's not the solution at all. All it
does is give us other problems that we didn't have before,
and it does nothing to fix. Here. We are fifty
four years into the war on drugs and it's only
gotten worse. We've got more intense forms of these drugs
as well. But that's an amazing testimony about the failure

(02:23:38):
of our society and the power of Christ to really
fix these things. Yes, that's amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:23:44):
Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (02:23:46):
Something along the lines of what you're talking about, to
just affirm what you're saying is so true, is that
in the nineteen seventies, about the time I was in.

Speaker 9 (02:23:58):
Team Challenge, Teenallenge.

Speaker 14 (02:24:01):
The teen Challenge was actually brought under scrutiny by the
federal government for fraudulent claims.

Speaker 9 (02:24:08):
Understand really, David, Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:24:11):
This is when the government is running out to see
how he's running drugs and holderff that they come after
a teen Challenge.

Speaker 14 (02:24:19):
They go after teen Challenge, and the average cure rate
for a cure is a year after you're out of
the program, you're still drug free. For secular programs, the
average cure rate is three to four percent. Six to
ninety percent of men and women who going to those

(02:24:41):
programs are off drugs for six months a year, whatever
the length of the program is.

Speaker 9 (02:24:46):
Within a year are back on drugs.

Speaker 14 (02:24:50):
Teen Challenge was claiming to have an eighty four percent
cure rate based on that same standard eighty four percent.
So the federal government decides, oh, this is terrible, this
goss has to be fraud. They and they had a
commission that took over and so the commission was to

(02:25:12):
investigate the fraud of teen Challenge. The woman who headed
up the commission commission was a black woman. I forget
what state she was from, and she wrote a book
after they were done with their investigation, which went on
for about a year, and so the way they investigated

(02:25:35):
was they actually met with these people who supposedly were changed.
That was part of their investigation to determine whether they
had an eighty four percent curator.

Speaker 9 (02:25:45):
So after it was over, the.

Speaker 14 (02:25:47):
Federal Commission determined that teen Challenge actually was lying. They
did not have an eighty four percent curate. They had
an eighty seven percent. And the woman who headed up
the commission wrote a book called the Jesus Factor. In

(02:26:08):
her whole book and she ended up being one to
Christ and in reviewing all these men who were you know,
lives were ruined by drugs and now knew Jesus, she
wrote a book called the Jesus Factor, saying that is
the overwhelmed. That is why they have an eighty seven
percent curate. Wow, so what you're saying is exactly true.

(02:26:30):
The importance of us reaching out to people and sharing
the Gospel with people, pointing them to the Lord, talking
to them about the things of God, because his word
addresses every area of life. That's right, so you can
bring him into just about any discussion.

Speaker 2 (02:26:45):
Well, it really comes back to yeah, and it really
comes look at all the different problems that we've got,
you know, the homes that are split up, which is
you know, the beginning of your problems there, and drugs.
We have violence, and we have shootings and all the
rest of the stuff. What is the answer to all this?
Why is this all happening? Because we've had these things before.
We've had access probably even more so to guns in

(02:27:06):
the past. We had access to guns and schools. What
is the difference? I really think it is the Jesus factor.
That's really the issue. We've turned away from Christ. Our
society is rotten at the foundation and that's why everything
is collapsing on us.

Speaker 1 (02:27:22):
And that is the solution.

Speaker 2 (02:27:23):
You know you're talking about when you were talking about
your relative and you said, your mom asked your relative,
who's your counselor? And it made me think of the
Messiah this time of year, you know, yep, wonderful counselor.

Speaker 9 (02:27:42):
Amen, Amen out of Isaiah. Yeah, the same thing.

Speaker 2 (02:27:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:27:49):
So, you know, I talk a lot about civil government
matters because most churchmen don't wrote that book that you
had mentioned earlier, but I tell everybody everywhere speak and
where I go. There's two things we need to do.
We need to address our government from the word of God.
They need to be instructed in Gods thinking regarding civil

(02:28:09):
realm matters. Yes, And at the same time, we need
to talk about Christ and point men to Him. And
so I have this little card that I always give
out everywhere I go. It says, alone arrested in jail.
I was living a life of emptiness, misery, robbery, arson, drugs,
and hate. There had to be more to life than

(02:28:31):
what I saw with my eyes.

Speaker 4 (02:28:33):
But what was it?

Speaker 14 (02:28:34):
Yeah, that's kind of like to draw him in. And
on the other side it says, my name is Matt,
this is my story. And I have a little QR
code with our website how Jesus changed my life. And
I get correspondence David from both unbelievers and believers who

(02:28:54):
find the cards when I leave him around. And you
never know how God's going to use that in people's life.
And that's something we need to do. It's not an
either or it's not Oh, we either tell people about
Jesus or we get involved in civil government things. God's
where it speaks.

Speaker 9 (02:29:11):
To every year in life. That's right, So we need
to talk about both things.

Speaker 2 (02:29:16):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (02:29:17):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:29:18):
Yeah, that's the thing, you know, when you have an
amazing testimony like yours. I remember, I remember there's a
young woman in church once people were talking about their testimony.
She said, I just grew up in church. I don't
have everything to say, and she said, but then I
realized one day that excuse me, I realized one day

(02:29:41):
that God had saved me from all those things. You
saved me from him before I got into them. Yeah,
that's that's it too, you know, Amen, that's been the case.
That's been the case in America before. God saved us
before we got into those things. But now we're in
a situation as a culture where God can save us

(02:30:03):
out of those things. And so that's why your testimony
is so important. Really is again, The book is Losser Magistrate,
and you can find it at the fly Tyrants. Excuse me,
I'm sorry. Things have gotten really rough with me after
I had my stroke. I have so much trouble controlling

Speaker 13 (02:34:29):
In this sense, it looks to me like they're trying
to pin the blame on somebody else and not down.
There's a very distinct statement was said on Sunday the
Secretary hex says, said he had no knowledge of.

Speaker 3 (02:34:40):
This and it did not happen.

Speaker 1 (02:34:41):
It was fake news, It didn't happen.

Speaker 13 (02:34:44):
And then the next day from the podium with the
White House are saying it did happen. So either he
was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and
didn't know what had happened.

Speaker 1 (02:34:54):
Do we think there's any.

Speaker 13 (02:34:55):
Chance that on Sunday the Secretary of the Defense did
not know there had been a second strike?

Speaker 2 (02:35:01):
Yes, because that was a couple of days after the
news had come out. He said, well, refused to respond
to the issues and that type of thing, so we
would have had time to investigate it. Well, now we've
had the admiral who gave the more direct order in
this particular circumstances has now testified to Congress. And as
I look at this, this is developed into a pattern

(02:35:25):
that continually gets worse and worse. When this first began,
the concern was, well, this is an illegal war. Then
when you look at it on what they did. The
boat was there and again, even turning around and running
away is no threat to them whatsoever. People said it
was no threat because the boat turned around. So then
it goes from an illegal war to a war crime.

(02:35:50):
Then we find that the boat that was fleeing after
they hit it, we find that the people that there
were survivors clinging to wreckage, and they continued to cling
to the wreckage, trying to get their boat righted up
so they could get into it and save their lives.
Because out in the middle of the ocean, and that
went on for forty one minutes, they talked about what
they should do with those guys, and so it went

(02:36:14):
from illegal war to war crime to murder. So I
think premeditated murder. And it absolutely disgusts me to see
how this is being spawned now by Laura Lumer, by
info Wars, and by many other people. This is all
just a coup to get hag Seth out. Are you
kidding me? This is a coup. There's a coup against

(02:36:37):
the constitution and against any kind of decency and morality,
not just the legality of this, but any kind of
decency and morality. Let me just say that when you
look at how this drug war has metastasized. And I again,
I think that they called it a drug war because
they don't want to call it probition. If you call

(02:36:58):
it prohbition, well, wait a minute, didn't we have a
constitutional amendment? Do we need that? Everybody in the country,
whether they supported prohibition or not, realized that they needed
to have a constitution amendment, eighteenth Amendment. And so they
also realized that it was the genesis of these organized
crime gangs like al Capone and others. And it was

(02:37:21):
a total failure. The cops were corrupted, the courts were corrupted,
the alcohol was being used, went up in strength that
went from beer and wine to hard liquor. You had
forms of it that were being made improvised of causing
people to go blind. It was a failure in every regard,

(02:37:43):
even though they tried to comply with the constitution. So
you don't want to call it prohibition, Let's call it
a drug war. And this is not complying with the constitution.
Nixon's drug war was complying with what the un wanted.
They had already created the schedule of drugs that they
wanted prohibited. So when you start taking as just as
Matt was talking about it's a spiritual issue. You're not

(02:38:06):
going to solve this with force. But they decided they're
going to solve it with force, the force of government.
And they've gone from fighting it with police to militarizing
the police, to now using the police and the military
as police and making it not just here in the
United States, but global drug war. And yet it is

(02:38:28):
our own government that it created crack cocaine so they
could fund a secret war. It's our own government that
in Afghanistan guarded the poppy feels and had the opioid
production in Afghanistan go from less than ten percent to
overwhell over ninety percent, a bumper crop crop, a new
record every year. Meanwhile, back home we had an opioid

(02:38:51):
epidemic that was going on. The Hypocrisy and the failure
and the criminality of this just continues to astecize in
so many different ways. This is just one more aspect
of it. And now the hope of this being some
kind of a pipartisan revulsion of the depths at which

(02:39:12):
we have sunk have now disappeared. After the Admiral spoke,
you had Republicans take one packed and Democrats take another.
And of course the Democrats are telling the truth about
the Republicans. The Republicans will tell you the truth about
the Democrats, but they'll both lie to you about their
own administration. And that's what the GOP is doing right now.

(02:39:33):
So the two men were killed as they were floating
holding onto their capsized boat and a second strike against
the suspected drug vessel. This is from CNN. They said
that they call this an exclusive. They were the first
ones to report that there was no radio call for
backup and the fact that they were in the water

(02:39:53):
for forty one minutes. So this was a deliberate and
debated policy to kill them. We haven't had a deliberation
or debate about whether or not we should have a
war with Venezuela, but they had a debate over the
lives of these two men and they decided that they
would kill them. Said that the men that were killed

(02:40:18):
in early September did not appear to have radio or
other communication devices, said the top military official overseeing the
strike said this yesterday, and as far back as September,
defense officials had been quietly pushing back on criticism that
killing these two survivors amounted to a war crime when
there's no war, arguing in fact that they were legitimate

(02:40:42):
targets because they appeared to be radioing for help or
for backup. And yet now they have walked that lie
back as well. And so they said if they had
done that they were calling for reinforcements, then that could
have theoretically allowed them to continue to traffic the drugs
aboard their sinking ship. And this is a line that

(02:41:03):
they're using, say that they're trafficking fentanyl that also has
walked back. They're also saying cocaine. Now in telling you
the truth that it was cocaine, they're not telling you
the truth. And the sense that they say they eliminated
the threat, there's no threat to America from these people
except for the threat that drugs in general pose on us.

(02:41:23):
And this is the wrong approach to it. And I
have to say that this is a seminal thing. This
is like folks, the COVID stuff, in the sense that
they're setting precedents. And I think that there is a
real concern and should be a legitimate concern that the
Trump administration is green lighting and expediting all of these

(02:41:45):
different strands of the surveillance, police state, bringing them together
if we can use the military. Since it didn't work
to militarize the police, the no knock rays have not worked.
Stopping people on the road and infiscating their property, their
cars are going and confiscating their houses, never charging people
of the crime, never giving them any due process. None

(02:42:08):
of that has stopped drug use and it never will.
They'll never stop it with police and military action. But
because the police failed, we have to make the police
more like the military. And since making the police more
like the military hasn't worked, we've got to make the
military the police. And now we've got to put the
police in the city. Do you see what's coming next?
If we've got to put the police in the cities,

(02:42:29):
we're talking about crime. What is the essence of crime, Well,
it's the black market that's been created by drug probition.
Just like with alcohol provision. Most of the crime that
is taking place in Chicago and Washington and places like
that that he's complaining about is related to the drug
prohibition that is there. So the logical conclusion they're going
to come to is that we need to use the

(02:42:52):
military to do law enforcement in the cities because the
drug war just isn't being won, and it has to
be fought like O war. You know where this is going,
and this is why I have talked about this almost
incessantly this week. It's not just a moral stench. We
should understand how this is going to be used against

(02:43:12):
each and every one of us. If they're going to
confiscate property without having a due process or even accusing
somebody of a crime, what do you think is going
to be like with the military? Are they going to
be shooting us in the streets? Do you think that
is an unwarranted extrapolation of where this.

Speaker 4 (02:43:29):
Is going to go?

Speaker 2 (02:43:31):
Well, just remember that Trump loved Roberto Duterte, the president
of the Philippines, who did precisely that they executed people
on the streets of his own country on mere suspicion
of having something to do with the drug trade. And

(02:43:52):
he is now because he's in a small country unlike
America that will not allow that to happen. To their
crime was like Trump, du Terte now no longer the
head of the Philippines is now at the Hague International
Criminal Court because of those extra judicial killings. And by
the way, the number of people that he is accused

(02:44:15):
of even though there were thousands of people tens of thousands,
some say, that were executed under these rules of extra
judicial killings in the Philippines. He's actually being tried for
a specific number of cases, and they've got seventy or
eighty people there. Guess what that's about. How many people
so far this illegal action in Venezuela has killed. It's

(02:44:41):
just amazing. For a little over and under an hour,
for forty one minutes, the US Military Command Center discussed
what to do as they watched the men struggle to
overturn what was left of their boat. Imagine the cold
bloodedness of this thing. This is why I call it
pre medta murder. How can you sit there and watch

(02:45:03):
somebody who you have just blown up? There was no
threat to you, no threat to the country none whatsoever.
The threat to the country is the federal government and
it's wear on drugs. That's the threat to the country.
So you call them the threat because they're supplying what
people want. Why do people want that? Well, because they

(02:45:24):
don't have the Jesus factor, as that book pointed out.
As Matt pointed out, that is missing, and so people
want what is bad for them, and so you shoot
the boat, you kill some of the people on the boat.
The two survivors are fighting for their life, trying to
get the boat over so they can get back to
shore whatever. And they debate what they're going to do

(02:45:46):
for forty one minutes and then they pull the trigger
and kill them. It's not just an illegal war, it's
not just a war crime. It's not just murder. It's
predicted murder. And these people who are capable of doing
it to these people in other countries, you mean no

(02:46:08):
more to them than these people in foreign countries. You're
just in the way of their agenda.

Speaker 3 (02:46:15):
If anything, they hate us more because we are here.

Speaker 9 (02:46:19):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (02:46:19):
We're a direct impediment to what they want to do.

Speaker 2 (02:46:22):
If you want to get the people who are the
threat to Americans in terms of drugs, go to the CIA,
Go to that drug cartel. The people who created crack cocaine,
the Pentagon people who use the proceeds from the crack
cocaine to do their illegal war. Those are the people
who are the threat to this country. The people who
get us into wars, the people who stay in Afghanistan
for decades because they want to keep making drugs from there.

(02:46:46):
They want to keep the opioid fuels open. The Taliban
went back in, and the Taliban has shut down the
drug trade. Now after just a couple of years, it's
now back to under ten percent of the world's trade
because the Taliban moved in. Well, there was a point
in time when Haig Seth was a reporter back in

(02:47:06):
twenty eleven, we had this to say about illegal orders.

Speaker 17 (02:47:09):
I do think there have to be consequences for abject
war crimes. If you're doing something that is just completely
unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.
That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders
from their commander in chief. There's a standard, there's an ethos,
there's a belief that we are above what so many

(02:47:30):
things that our enemies or others would do.

Speaker 4 (02:47:33):
So a senator, what do you think of that?

Speaker 15 (02:47:36):
Well, Aaron, I think he's correct, and it's exactly what
we said. But when we said it, Pete Hegseth now
said eight years later or ten nine years later, he
says what we said was false and reckless.

Speaker 2 (02:47:50):
And that's right. And when he was saying that you
were on the side that was doing the illegal orders.
I'll just partisan politics. And so I understand people's discussed
with all of this, but don't fall into that. You know,
what was wrong in twenty eleven that Pete Hegseth was
speaking out against. It's still wrong, and what Pete Hegseth

(02:48:11):
is doing today is wrong. It doesn't make it right
because the Democrats are calling it wrong. It's just people
make these excuses back and forth. And so what happened
to Pete? What happened to Pete that he's now doing
the same type of thing. Power corrupts? Really?

Speaker 4 (02:48:31):
Does you know?

Speaker 2 (02:48:33):
Was he lying to you about it then? Did he
really care? Maybe he didn't really care then maybe it
was just partisan politics for him, because I don't think
it really matters to Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly has been
involved in this, and Mark Kelly refused to say specifically
what was illegal. I'm telling you what was illegal. I
told you it was illegal from the very first of this.
And yet these people put this thing together. They were

(02:48:54):
playing partisan politics. They're playing their little sy op when
they talked about illegal wars. And as I point out,
Trump and Hexseth not only stepped in the dog, do
they jumped up and down, and that's splattering it all
over themselves. They fell into that trap. But I don't
think that Kelly was sincere about it. I don't think

(02:49:15):
the other senator keep forgetting her name, former CIA, I
don't think she was serious about either, because when they
were asked point blank, so what is it? Have there
been any illegal orders from Trump?

Speaker 4 (02:49:26):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:49:27):
I can't think of any. This is just for future reference. No,
it's just for partisan politics. They're not going to oppose
the criminality of it because they want to be able
to do that sort of thing when they get power,
and that's what this complaint is about, is about them
getting the power so they can do exactly the same things.

(02:49:48):
But we're the ones who are going to suffer from this,
and we should oppose it when it's being done by
the Democrats, and we should have pose it when it's
being done by the Republicans. So the ultimately Admiral Bradley
told lawmakers he ordered a second strike to destroy the
remains of the vessel, killing the two survivors, on the

(02:50:09):
grounds that had appeared that part of the vessel remained
afloat because it still held cocaine. Wait a minute, what
is all this about fentanyl? Well, we all knew that
was a lie, right, every one of these drug organizations
that has been feasting at the troth to fight this
imaginary war on drugs, every one of them said, there's

(02:50:30):
no fentinyl coming from Venezuela's cocaine. The survivors could hypothetically
have floated to safety, could have been rescued, and could
have carried on with trafficking the drugs. Said the logic. Well,
as I said before, this kind of logic means that
you just go in and your carpet bomb Dresden for example, right,
or you drop nuclear bombs on civilian populations in Japan.

(02:50:54):
You don't fight the soldiers that are out there, and
you don't fight the war under the Geneva Convention rules
of engagement. No, you got to kill it at the source.
You got to kill the entire country. No more mowing
them down on the front lines. Let's just get them
at the source. Let's just kill everybody, right, which is
what we see in Gaza. It's that kind of mentality,

(02:51:15):
going after civilians the lawn. Yeah, that's right. Well, the
other source of direct knowledge of the briefing called that
rationale effing nons insane, right, and it is. It's nonsense.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Well why would that be, Well, that would be because
the Pentagon doesn't want to talk to the press. The

(02:51:36):
Pentagon does not want to be covered under pete hegseth.
And that's why they got rid of all the reporters
in the Pentagon as this stuff was ramping up, Right,
you got rid of all the reporters. And I said,
you're going to report what we tell you and only
what we tell you, right, And they said, no, we're
not going to do that, all right, So you're out
of here. The only news organization that agreed to those

(02:51:58):
ridiculous terms is News Nation. I don't know anything about
News Nation. I think that was the one. It was
some conservative startup. I would suggest that you're not pay
any attention to any of their news. I don't read them,
I don't look at them. But I would suggest if
they're going to prostitute themselves that way to the Pentagon,
don't and the Trump administration don't read anything that they

(02:52:20):
have to say. I mean, that tells you right there
that they are not in search of information. They're not
in search of the truth, they just want access. And
that is about the most naked exploit exposure of prostitution
I have seen from the press, the fact that they
would stay there, And except when you get Laura Luhmer,
who is posting the fact she's got a Pentagon press pass,

(02:52:43):
and she's the one who's out there floating the line
that is being parroted by info Wars saying, oh, this
is just a coup against Heigsath. They just don't like
hagg Sat. There's nothing really to see here. Move on,
it's amazing. You want to say something, Tovis.

Speaker 3 (02:52:56):
I was going to say, it just seems like now
this is the boot lover's news network.

Speaker 2 (02:53:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:53:00):
Do you love the taste of boot?

Speaker 1 (02:53:02):
Well, so do we.

Speaker 3 (02:53:03):
You can tune in and get all the boot news
you can stand.

Speaker 2 (02:53:07):
Yeah, maybe they could. Maybe they should sell boot polish
as a new sponsor.

Speaker 3 (02:53:13):
Right while I'm down here, would you mind? Would you
like to polish your boots?

Speaker 4 (02:53:16):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (02:53:17):
So that's why Haig Seth got rid of it, It's
why you've got Laura Lumer there. According to Senate Intelligence
Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, however, a Republican and Democrat Senator
Chris Coons of Delaware, who were briefed the military used
a total of four missiles to sink the boat, two
missiles and the initial strike, and two to kill two people.

(02:53:40):
I wonder how much that cost. Right, it's not even
look at the dollar figures that are there. It is
considered a war crime to kill shipwrecked people. Not only that,
but it is the example. But they use in the
military manual that we don't pay an attention to. Right,
Constitution was our manual for how the government is supposed
to operate. Terry's got its own manuals, and nobody reads

(02:54:02):
the manuals anymore. It's uh, yeah, that's the big complaint
of people in software. It's like, you know, read the manual.
Yeah they have a RTFM, you know, and but nobody
does that in government. They don't want to know what
the manual says.

Speaker 5 (02:54:17):
Well, if it's hilarious that they can't pinpoint any illegal
orders when they are doing the literal definition of a
war crime.

Speaker 4 (02:54:26):
If you open up the dictionary, this is how it
describes a war crime.

Speaker 2 (02:54:30):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (02:54:32):
Part of it is, you know, if you read the manual,
you're knowingly committing a crime. But otherwise you said, well,
I didn't know, I didn't know. How could I have known?
Come on, guys, I'm just a silly little guy. I've
just made some mistakes, right.

Speaker 2 (02:54:47):
Most Republicans have signal support for Trump's broader military campaign
in the Caribbean, but the secondary strike on September two
has drawn bipartisan scrutiny. However, now they've made the rounds
and they've had the talking to. Right after Thursday's round
robin of closed door briefings by Bradley, this all appeared

(02:55:08):
to fracture a long party line, so of course nothing
is going to be done. Cotton said. He quote saw
two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs
bound for the US.

Speaker 4 (02:55:20):
Lie.

Speaker 2 (02:55:20):
Lie, Lie, trying to flip it over so they could
stay in the fight. They're trying to stay alive.

Speaker 3 (02:55:26):
Committee describing this in any way as a fight is ridiculous.
You've got im eyes with maybe at best assault rifles
that nebulous term in a boat, and then you have
your completely invisible from their perspective, gunship that takes them out.

Speaker 2 (02:55:43):
This isn't a fight, No, no, there's no way that
they could.

Speaker 4 (02:55:48):
It is.

Speaker 2 (02:55:48):
It is not a conflict. When one side is shooting
at the other side, when the other side is unarmed,
when the other side is incapacitated, that is not a
con They're not a threat. Everybody knows that. Stop lying
to us. I'm disgusted with these people.

Speaker 3 (02:56:05):
This be like calling a fight, you know, Mike Tyson
in his prime versus a toddler. Oh, it's a fight
that he could pose. The toddler might bite Mike Tyson.

Speaker 2 (02:56:15):
Cobbs shooting people that they've got up against the wall
to arrest. Instead of arresting them, they shoot him in
the head. That's what this is really about. The committee chairman,
a Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee, said, any American
who sees the video that I saw, we'll see the
US military attacking shipwrecked sailors. Bad guys, bad guys, but

(02:56:37):
attacking shipwrecked sailors again. You got to say that they're bad,
that the drug stuff is bad, and it is. It
is bad, folks. But look, whenever he knows that people
are going to come back and say I voted for this,
I want the drug dealers executed. I always hear that
whenever I talk about the evils of the drug war
and what it is doing to our society and to

(02:56:59):
our government, how it's making our government into a criminal
cartel itself. People always say, well, you're for the drug
You're for drugs, you just want heroin out of vending machines,
all this kind of stuff. It's like, no, I don't,
but I also know that this is not the answer. Again,
go back to what Matt told us about his life.

(02:57:20):
It's the Jesus factor that is missing in our country
these problems.

Speaker 5 (02:57:24):
Cover himself saying yeah, they're bad guys, bad guys, of course,
but we don't know that they are alleged bad guys.

Speaker 3 (02:57:31):
That's right, This is this is right for someone to
do a parody of what do you do with a
drunken sailor?

Speaker 2 (02:57:36):
So I know, you just shoot him, I guess right,
shoot him.

Speaker 3 (02:57:41):
From the sky with an AC one thirty.

Speaker 2 (02:57:44):
The apparent abandonment of Defense officials claims the distress call
as evidence of continued hostile intent. It is only the
latest in a series of shifting accounts from the Trump
administration since reports first emerged in the press over the weekend.
You know, this is looking like Benghazi isn't it. They
keep changing the story. Heg Seth, has kept changing the story.

(02:58:07):
It was reprehensible what Hillary Clinton did with Benghazi, and
this is reprehensible. And this is what liars do. They
keep changing the story every day. It's another story. Heg
Seth initially railed against reporting about the second strike. He
called it fabricated, fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory, and he said

(02:58:28):
they were fake news. That's what I began with with
ram Paul saying, you know, well why did he say
it was fake? And now he's coming back and saying,
I didn't do it. The other people did it. Right.
Caroline Love it confirmed the second strike occurred and said
that Bradley was the one who ordered it. Well, you know,
it doesn't matter how flimsy, how false, how absurd, the

(02:58:51):
rationale is here. These partisan hacks in the press and
in the GOP going to hang on to this just
like those people are hanging on to the debris in
the water. So now you got to Laura Lumer there
as the Pentagon Press as her and one an organization.
I guess that's allowed in the Pentagon because they are

(02:59:13):
just propagandists. And again, this is all part of the
coup to get hegseth Out is it?

Speaker 4 (02:59:22):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:59:23):
Could it be that he's not only incompetent, but he's criminal.
And when we're talking about coups, maybe we should talk
to the CIA, since they're the experts on coups and
on illegal drugs. Well, that's all the time we've got
to spend on this. There'll be more news about this,
I'm sure as we come back next week. This is

(02:59:43):
a seminal event, folks. This is very very important. It
has a lot of tentacles and everything that the government
wants to do, and it shows you the nature, the
criminal nature of our government. Have a good weekend, the

(03:00:11):
common man. They created common Core and dumbed down our children.
They created common past, track and control us. They're Commons
project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the
communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary.

(03:00:33):
But each of us has worth and dignity created in
the image of God. That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away. Their most
powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
everything about us, while they hide everything from us. It's

(03:00:55):
time to turn that around and expose what they want
to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
