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

Speaker 2 (00:44):
As the clock strikes thirteen, it's the seventh of October
of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. We're going to take
a look today at some new information about Jeffrey Epstein.
There's been some an independent mining company found that there's
a lot more activity at Epstein Island in terms of

(01:06):
flights there than we've ever seen before. Not a couple
hundred people, several thousand, and he broke it down as
to where they are coming from, the general areas where
they're coming from. It's kind of what you would suspect here.
So we're going to take a look at that. As
a Supreme Court makes its ruling about Glenne Maxwell, it
looks like she's going to have to send a message

(01:29):
help me, Obi Dan, You're my only hope. It's a
pardon from don or nothing for her. So we're going
to take a look at all of that, as well
as the news and how things happening with this piece
In Israel. We have an interesting interview coming up in
the third hour, a man who's written a new biography

(01:50):
about FDR and you might say, well, what could be
new about this? It is an excellent, compelling book, and
it has a lot of parallels to this time that
we're in right now, in this fourth Turning presidency. We'll
be right back. Well, it wasn't that many years ago

(02:12):
that we had David Petraeus was about twenty twelve twenty
thirteen when he came out as this is the guy
who was part of the Afghan Surge. He was a
genius that we were told was going to be responsible
for us winning the Afghan war. That didn't happen. But
before he went to KKR and became a Builderberg regular,

(02:33):
they put him at the CIA and he came out
and said, before long, your refrigerators can be listening to you. Well,
if only it stopped at just that. Now we have
Samsung on its high level refrigerators. These are refrigerators that
are full surveillance mode, which you pay extra for. Right.
These are refrigerators that cost up to like three thousand dollars,

(02:55):
between seventeen hundred and thirty three hundred dollars and from
that of money, which you get as a refrigerator that
always spies on you, but it sends you ads all
the time. So when you walk in the kitchen, it
is serving you ads and there's no way to turn
that off unless you want to turn off the other
smart features. And I'm thinking, exactly why do I have

(03:17):
to have a computer and smart features on a refrigerator?
This is kind of a set it and forget it type.
I think, can you think of anything.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Refrigerators that seem like kind of a solved technology for
a while. Now, you don't really need anything else. You
need a box that keeps things cold. Yeah, I don't
need a TV.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
You got one job? Can you do that? Yeah? I
need better shelf organization. Maybe what I don't need is
a lot of electronics unless they're trying to start a
new Cold war?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
And how sturdy is that screen?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Because it's constantly getting slammed, right, it's getting slammed.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
And if you have children, they're going to bang on things.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh yeah, they're going to trying to figure that out.
Don't really the age that he's and he's getting in
all the cabinets and.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Anything that can be opened and slammed will be opened
and slammed.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah. Going to my office now, and everything's either on
the floor or thrown up on top of the disorganized
to get out of his reach. So anyway, it's over
the air software updates. We'll serve as an AD pilot
program on the Family Hub refrigerators. You know, Samsung has
really been in the lead in terms of intrusive appliances,
you know, TVs that spy on you and all the

(04:28):
rest of this. But it's so it's designed to strengthen
the everyday value of these home appliances for customers. No,
it's going to strengthen the everyday value of AD revenue
for Samsung's what this is really about. You don't get
out of that. Doesn't seem like you just can entirely
turn off the ads unless you completely disconnect the fridge

(04:49):
from the Internet. Why would I want to have refrigerator
on the internet. But then you lose all those smart
features that you paid for that you paid thousands of
dollars extra for.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
You can't wait for someone to hack my fridge and
start using it to mind crypto or something like that.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, there you go. Well, let's hope. Says this article
from zero, heade that with the arrival of humanoid robots
and homes, likely by the end of the decade or
the early twenty thirties. These bots don't become the ultimate
ad trackers that have been barred consumers or targeted ads
on other devices inside their own homes. Just imagine the

(05:25):
C three PO and R waddling up to you, Hello,
would you like to buy? By the way, did I
tell you?

Speaker 4 (05:31):
You know?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
The C three pos? Oh dah, there's another there's a
product for that, you know. It kind of like the
Truman Show or something. Ad placement all the time. You're like,
what's going on with this?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, bridge play ads. Obviously they're going to have these
robots that know everything about you. Blaze the ads.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's not the ads. The
ads are a nuisance, but the government is the danger.
We suspect an incoming AD infestation is creeping into vehicle
infotainment systems, which is why it might be wise to
buy an old Mercedes Diesel. These people are coming along
the lines of Eric Peters here, because it's you know,

(06:12):
it is just as he calls these things their devices, right,
So now they're making the refrigerator set ofment appliance, are
making it advice. By the way, here's some more bad
corporate ideas. Cracker Barrel, however, has finally dumped the ad
agency that was responsible for the logo change stuff, but
they still have the same ceo. Kick this whole thing off,

(06:33):
and so to.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Get rid of the idiot that hired the idiot.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, that's kind of throw these people out. There's scapegoats,
and the CEO, Julie Messino, gets to keep her job.
It was only the logo thing that was a problem,
but it was the redesign of the restaurant. There was
a bigger issue than the logo, by the way, you know,
but in just a week after they did the new logo,
they've lost one hundred million dollars in stock market cap.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
So this has been a running trend with businesses just
redesigning their logos to be more and more minimalistic. You
had Dunkin Donuts and went to Duncan and now it's
just two d's next to each other.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, what's the why, I don't know. Yeah, it's a
dumbing down. Well, communities will not survive in California, they're
saying because of the insurance companies. Insurance insurance companies are
making home ownership literally unaffordable. It's unbelievable. Some of these
people are paying for insurance. One person's insurance bill went

(07:34):
from seventeen thousand a year, which I thought was outrageous,
to seventy two thousand a year. I mean that's like
six thousand dollars a month just an insurance that doesn't
cover your mortgage or taxes or anything else like that.
And these are especially hard hit in rural areas. They're
going in and telling people that they're going around like

(07:55):
inspectors looking at things and saying you've got to fix
this on your house, or that your house, you got
to replace your roof. And one person just ignored it,
and then they started to cancel her insurance, and so
she challenged it and there was nothing wrong with her roof.
They were just trying to intimidate people. And this is
the type of thing that I have seen down in Tampa.

(08:17):
This is what the mayor in Tampa, Sandy Friedman, was doing.
A lot of the people who owned properly down there
called her Sandlotte Friedman because what she was doing was
going in and using nuisance regulations to put confiscatory fees
and start compounding them on people. You're in violation of
this or that.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I tend to find most regulations or nuisances.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Well, yeah, but I mean this is to the extent
your house needs to be repainted. You know one lady
that was there when my sister went down, she was
managing some houses that my dad had sold the mortgages
a long time ago to some people. There were small
houses and the people who bought it were poor and elderly.
They didn't know how to deal with us, so they

(08:58):
called her and she went down to help them. And
they had an old lady who said, you know, she
had an alleyway behind her house, and she said somebody
had dropped a partial railroad tie on it and she
couldn't remove it because it was too heavy for her.
So she called the city and asked them to remove it.
So the city sends out some inspectors, and rather than
remove it for her, they issued a fine and said,

(09:19):
you know, well, this is going to cost you one
hundred dollars a day until you remove it. And they
would do that type of thing until it got up
to a certain level and then they would just confiscate
the property for the finds that they had assessed against it.
And so the property owners were starting to push back
and they created an organization to push back against this,

(09:39):
and there was somebody there at that hearing and she
starts to talk about that and lays out what I
just told you, and the judge says, well, is the
railroad tie on your property or not? And somebody stood
up and said, don't answer.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
That.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Still your home for answering that. So we've seen that
type of thing being done by governments. But of course
this is an insurance company that was. California put all
kinds of requirements on the insurance companies and rather than
maintaining public areas and getting the deadwood out of the
public areas, which is you know, they've allowed those fire
hazards to multiply and so they put extra restrictions on

(10:19):
the private companies. So a lot of the private companies
just said, fine, we won't do any insurance in California.
So they created this organization the state of California did,
and it's this state organization that is doing what we
saw the property owner not property owner Association, but the
people that were harassing the property owners were associated with

(10:39):
the government in Tampa, and that's what they're doing in California.
They're going into the rural areas of northern California where
they have a lot of rain. It's not the dry
part of California, and they are are ramping up the
insurance and treating it as if it was like southern
California with the dryness that is down there, especially going

(11:00):
around and telling people if they've got a home out
in the Roll area, you can't stack the wood anywhere
close to your home. You get it way way, way
far away. If you have it close to your home,
that's it. We're going to condemn your home. But this
just shows the danger. I think what they're talking about
is the California Fair Plan, which comes with very high
deductibles and very limited coverage. Basically, you're only covered for

(11:23):
fire and that's about it. They don't cover any other
property damage that would be there for your home.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
So they don't cover the mud slides, the earthquakes, or
any of the other acts of God that California is
regularly hit with.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, that reminds me of George Carlon in his early days.
He had the hippie dippy weather man. He's talking about
how there was, you know, this front was moving in
from this direction, this other one was moving in. It
looks like they're headed for some general smiting. But anyway,

(11:57):
this is again a failure of government, who you know
to in every regard by ignoring the marketplace, by ignoring
maintenance of the land is under their control, and all
of this is government failure and it's coming down on
the heads of the people who are there. It truly
is amazing to see that hit. Well. Trump is going

(12:19):
to be marking his eightieth birthday as the US marks
it's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and he's come up
with an interesting way to celebrate it. He's always been
a WWE guy before, but now he's going to go
to UFC The Ultimate Fighting Contest, I guess is what
it stands for.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Boy, I sure do love watching some sweaty chechens wrestle
each other.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, well, Connor McGregor is going to be there, so
the least will been irishman wrestling with Chechens. Who's that guy?
But yeah, he's going to set this up at the
White House. We've real class act there, we guys.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
He's going to be in the ballroom.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I don't know, he doesn't have the ballroom ready yet.
They're going to set up a giant Octagon. I don't
know me. That's a standard thing that they do with
the UFC stuff.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
No, it's the White House Octagon off the ballroom.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
You know, the White House cage match. That's where he
puts former Guibinet members.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Oh, yes, the historic octagon.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, the Oval office and the pen as all that
is happening. You have the Guardian trying to make the
case that the President is unhinged, and I think you
can make that case pretty easily, except they don't really
go there. They are looking at very minor things. You know,
this is kind of like all the lawfair against him
for all this ridiculous stuff, when in fact, you know,

(13:42):
he had done the lockdown and the stimulus jakes and
all these other things. He had violated the Constitution in
amazing ways. He should have been impeached for what he
did in twenty twenty with the COVID pandemic stuff. But
instead they come after him for some petty stuff. And
that's the way the Guardian comes after him. I guess
we can say that Trump arrangement syndrome is real and alive. Still,

(14:02):
they want to get really petty over a lot of
these different things rather than pay attention to the real stuff,
to the important stuff. As the government shut down loomed
in the US last week, the president posted an AI
video which depicted Hakeem Jeffries, the first black house minority leader,
wearing a sombrero and exaggerated mustache with mariachi music playing

(14:25):
in the background. Hey, you know, they guardian needs to
get a life. They thought that this is racist and dangerous.
That's their terms, right, you guys need to grow up.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
I still have the medad video, which was far weirder.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, that's right. Well, they also mentioned that one, and
that one I think does bring up some interesting points
because I mean, clearly that meme video was a joke,
and they can't take a joke. They call it racist
and dangerous and so forth and reprehensible.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
So I think we're past the point where having a
first black this or first black it means anything.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, guy, it's who cares? Yeah, I know, you know,
let's let's start with all the firsts and everything. Can
you do the job or not? You know, that's the issue.
So when you talk about the med bed bad thing,
play a little bit of that lance. You got it.
But anyway, the video.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
President Donald J. Trump has announced.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
This is his daughter in law, except it's not. It's
an AI.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Version America's first medbad hospitals and a national med bed
card for every citizen.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Every American who soon received their own med bed card.
With it, you'll have guaranteed access to And this obviously
is not Trump. It's an AI Trump equipped with That's
the question.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
Is technology.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
A fake video of him saying things that he never
said before and his daughter in law as well, Laura.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
This is the beginning of a new era in American
healthcare in this Okay, well.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's enough of that. But as we point out, the
med bed thing, is this QAnon nonsense too? So maybe
that had something to them tweeting him out. So he
puts that out and then he pulls it down later,
And when Caroline love Ittt was questioned about that, she said, well,
the president saw the video and he posted it and
then he took it down. It's like, yeah, well, why

(16:17):
did he post it if he saw it, he saw
that he was there faked. Does he believed that the
government is about to send out med beds to everybody?
Is that way? He tweeted it out. But then they
kind of touch a little bit on the Tilan Hall thing.
But again, as the Guardian is guardying the pharmaceutical companies

(16:39):
among other things, they're not really going to get the
heart of the issue. The real issue with the tailanh
Hall thing is the fact that's being used as a
red herring. This is the kind of betrayal. I see
it as a betrayal, not as dementia. They're trying to
portray everything there as dementia and say, you know, well
he said that about Biden, but it's true about him. Well,

(17:02):
he did confuse Albania with Armenia, which as an American
I can understand that.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm sure given the state of Eastern Europe, these two
countries hate each other deeply, but no one else will
be able to tell them apart. That is the essence
of Eastern European politics. These two countries that are nearly
identical border each other and they despise each other for
no particular reason.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
So you know, he will talk about that, and he
will send troops in to situations like that. He doesn't
even know the names of the countries. That's that's American
foreign policy. That's our master stroke of the American emplety.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
Picking his side.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I don't know anything about it, row and dodge it aboard.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
That's right. So he wrote on true Social that he
had been briefed on a shooting at the Mormon church
in Michigan to kill four people. The Trump administration will
keep the public posted, as we always do, he wrote.
But when he posted again in a couple of hours,
it was a video about the gold fixtures and fittings
that he'd put into the White House. So the highest

(18:04):
quality twenty four carret goal used in the Oval Office
in the cabinet room of the White House. Foreign leaders
and everyone else freak out when they see the quality
and the beauty best Oval office ever. So again the
presence in person appearances have also become odd. You know,
I look at this litany of issues that the Guardian

(18:27):
and the left have with Trump and ask, you know,
but what about the Constitution? Does that matter to Does
it matter to you what he's done to the constitution.
They're torque out of shape about the fact that he
has focused on gilding the Oval Office, But what about
the constitution that he is gelding? So if they want
to try criticizing that, it certainly is a target rich environment.

(18:50):
But in staid to talk about this.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Yeah, defending troops into the cities, but they're worried about
this video here. Oh look he puts mustache and barrel
on someone.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Therefore, like, yeah, it's not amazing you talk about the
irrelevance of both sides here with this stuff. So when
he addressed the top militaries, I point out it was
really strange. This what he calls weaving and everything is
really just kind of rambling. It's it's not weaving, and
it's it's irrelevant to what he's really talking about. When

(19:23):
he started going on this long discourse about the fireman,
the fireman up there they're getting shot at. It's a
great job. I love my fireman because my fireman loved me.
They vote for me in large numbers, so he's lectory.
He pays millions of dollars to bring all the top
brass the military from all over the world where they
shouldn't be anyway, and then brings them in to like

(19:44):
to talk to them about the fireman. And of course
he says other things that he said. America's respected again
as a country not respected with Biden. They looked at
him falling downstairs every day every day this guy was
falling downstairs. I walked very slowly. Nobody has to set
a record, but try not to fall because it doesn't

(20:05):
work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen
and it became a part of their legacy. We don't
want that need to walk nice and easy. You not have.
You don't have to set any record. He said, be cool,
be cool when you walk down, but don't don't bop
down the steps. And they talked about how Obama used
to do that, but I wouldn't try that. So again,

(20:27):
this is the people come in for this, and he's
he's rambling on about how he has to be careful
going up and downstairs because he doesn't want to look
like Biden and talking about his beloved fireman that he
has to hold in steam. But here's yeah, yeah, they're
starting to merge. Like I said, it's a Uni party.

(20:49):
It's a Unie geriatric party. One party run by very
old men. Here.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Anytime you bring up something like this, remember that article
you covered years ago from the pharmacist that works in
d c Oh, Yeah, talking about you would not believe
the prescriptions. I feel for these people, the intense medication
some of these guys are on, they're just out to lunch.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
That was a major, major article and carried it and
nobody paid the attention to it, nobody read it. It
was a huge article, and.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Now it's vanished. I've tried looking it up since then
and I can't find it.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I'm sure it's still there. Oh, I bet they deep
six to that thing, for sure. Yeah. Google is a
search engine designed to hide things, and I think most
of these search engines are ye now at this point.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I tend to use Yandex most of the time. It's
pretty good about pulling things. So the document itself may
be gone. And what Travis is talking about was article.
I think it was done by the Washington Post. I'm
not sure, but I think it was done by them,
And it was really not the main focus. The main
focus was, you know, the fact that the house members

(21:52):
have got all these special services.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
And everything and how they work. And the main focus
was a guy who had he was elderly and he
had on this work for ages and ages and ages.
You know, they've got their own special pharmacy there. And
just as an aside, you know, about twenty pages into
this article, he said, and yeah, you know, it's amazing
when I see the prescriptions that are coming in there

(22:14):
for some of these people, he goes. He makes you
wonder how they can even get into the building. It
says like, well, that's explains some of the things that
we've seen from some of these people here. But that's
been a deep sixth.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I guess every hold I can't find it. It's just
every single politician is determined to pull a Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yeah,
stay in there for as long as they can't die
in office is possible.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, because that's what gives meaning to their life. They
don't have any meaning to their life outside of that,
and that's why they're so dangerous. Well, talking about danger.
OSHA has one job, doesn't it. Supposedly OSHA is supposed
to be the about all about safety, occupational safety and
so forth. And you know, we saw OSHA violate all

(23:01):
of its own rules during the so called pandemic. They
had rules about wearing masks if you were working in
a very dusty environment, you know, like if you're cleaning
up nine to eleven waist and debris in New York
after the collapse, you should wear a mask because otherwise
you're going to breathe in a lot of stuff that's
going to cause you long term health issues and eventually

(23:22):
kill you. So people who are working in dusty environments,
OSHA had requirements for them to wear a mask. However,
and it was the same in ninety five masks, and
they said, however, after twenty minutes, you've got to give
the people a break, and they've got to be able
to get out and take that mask on. And they
completely ignored all of that during the Trump pandemic lockdown.

(23:44):
They said, you keep that mask on all day. And
so now we find out, this is exclusive from Children's
Health Defense, OSHA admits that it told healthcare employers not
to report COVID vaccine injuries. A whistleblower alerted the defender.
An OSHA spokesperson confirmed an internal directive telling health care employers,

(24:08):
in other words, hospitals, et cetera, not to report or
to track COVID nineteen vaccine injuries. And again this is
going back to the Harvard study, was only one percent
of what they found with their study was only about
one percent of the vaccine injuries were reported to the
veryar's database. And that's supposed to be adverse events reporting

(24:29):
system vaccine adverse events affairs, and it's only about one
percent reported. And yet we all knew that it was
much worse with the COVID situation. Not only did they
make it difficult so people wouldn't report this stuff, but
they actively told them not to. And here you've got osha,
the people who are supposed to be about safety, all

(24:50):
about safety. Safety is in their name. Safety is their
middle name. You could say it literally is. And yet
they said don't report these days inxious vaccines to anybody.
They remove the policy from their website after the defender
inquired about it, critic, but they were able to get
a backup version of it, and so they got the

(25:14):
archive version. That's one of the reasons why they really
hate the Internet. What was it, Internet Historian. It's the
wayback machine Internet archive. Yeah, wayback machine.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Internet Historian is the YouTube.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Channel one of my favorite. That's a that's a good
video there. But anyway, critics said the directive concealed the
scope of vaccine injuries and made it difficult for injured
workers to obtain workers comp or disability benefits. Yeah, that's right.
So again they violate their own rules and then they

(25:47):
go even further and say don't put it in. And
that's why I said, if on the various database they
have thirty eight thousand people who died after getting the vaccine,
stop and think about that. We've had vaccines killed nationwide
because we had nine people that were injured by it
and not even necessarily killed. And now we got thirty

(26:08):
eight thousand and we don't do anything about it. And
guess what that is far less than one percent. If
it was just one percent, that'd means that we had
three point eight million deaths and they're not going to
pull this thing off. That shows you the clutch the
way that Albert Borla and the big pharmaceutical companies. That
shows you the pull and the power they have with

(26:30):
Donald Trump Donald J. Trump, Jay for Jerk. The federal
agency exempted healthcare employers from reporting workers adversar reactions to
mandated COVID nineteen vaccines. OSHA issued the directive in twenty
twenty one, June and twenty twenty one to encourage vaccination

(26:52):
during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Oh well, Biden was in office. Yeah,
but who cheered all this stuff constantly? Trump, even when
he was running for reelection twenty twenty four. He was
still sharing this for the longest period of time, and
he will still do it. If you confront him, he'll
still tell you that he saved millions of lives and
that he was the one who turned everything around with

(27:12):
a vaccine. He certainly did turn everything around with a vaccine,
but he killed about four million people just in the
US alone, easily estimated here. The directive also stated that OSHA,
a division of the US Department of Labor, would not
track workers COVID vaccine adverse events, even though it acknowledged

(27:32):
that the vaccine may cause injuries that would require employees
to take time off. OSHA also outlined its COVID nineteen
reporting policy on its website under Frequently Asked Questions page
for COVID nineteen what they had on their website, which
is now what they removed after Children's Health Defense called
them on it. They wrote on their website previously, OSHA

(27:54):
does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers
from receiving COVID nineteen vaccination. Also does not wish to
disincentivize employer's vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA does not
intend to enforce recording requirements to require any reporter to
record workers' side effects from COVID nineteen vaccination. So, you know,

(28:16):
don't say anything about this because we don't care what
happens to people. We've got a goal, and that is
to get as many people vaccinated as possible, and we
really don't care about individual health. That's the way public
health operates. Public health, public education, public safety. They're never
about health, education, or safety. It's about government control. It's

(28:39):
about treating you as subhuman. So, a former medical coder
for an Arizona hospital called OSHA's policy especially inflammatory, said
it was an admission that they knew that the vaccine
was not safe, of course, and it carries a risk
of injury serious enough to affect one's ability to work.

(28:59):
If you you're not going to be able to work,
I mean, we're talking about four million people. That's not
people that were injured, those people who were killed, and
the number of people that were injured, there's probably tens
of millions that are out there. So as to not
discourage vaccination, employers are not required to record instances of
adverse events to vaccinations on the OSHA three hundred log

(29:22):
effective through May of twenty twenty two said the directive
that they obtained to require employers to report non symptomatic
COVID nineteen cases but not report severe adverse vaccine reactions
diametrically contradicts OSHA's most basic purpose safety. So just think

(29:42):
about that. You would have to report to OSHA if
somebody got a PCR procedure that said that they had
COVID even though they had no symptoms at all. But
if somebody is sick or died from the vaccine, you
don't report it. I tell you everything about Donald Trump

(30:03):
and this whole fake pandemic stuff. That's it, in a nutshell.
The whole thing was an unbelievable scam. Even I still
have a hard time believing this five years later. Just
how vicious these people were, this uncovered directive. It's just
another example of a systemic, willful blindness that pervaded the
prior administration, said a guy for a legal affairs director

(30:27):
for REACT nineteen, advocating on behalf of COVID nineteen vaccine
injury victims. Well, previous administration, what about this administration? What
about rf K Junior? Why don't you stop this now?
You should be banning this Instead, you're out there misdirecting
people about autism, telling them that it's from talinol or

(30:48):
something else. They need to focus on this stuff. It
is really a headfake. As I said before, RFK Jr.
Was used by Trump to get money from the vaccine
companies so that he could get paid off by them
and then do their bidding. And now he's being used.
RFK Junior is being used again by Trump to get

(31:09):
the MAGA people to trust him, and he's not doing
anything about this stuff. You've got poison that is killing people,
and the best they can do is say, well, I
don't recommend that, you know, but poison hate comier little
dog yet, just put some poison in your milk. But
if I were you, I wouldn't take that milk. That's
the best that they can do.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
So pertainly, I don't like poison, but you're yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, it's insane. I'm sing they clip a million times anyway.
This alone is a scandal a federal agency prioritizing vaccination
propaganda over workplace safety and transparency. OSHA's mission is to
ensure safe workplaces. By directing employers not to record vaccine injuries,
they violated their own mandate and betrayed public trust. Will

(31:54):
name me one agency that doesn't do that. These unconstitutional
agencies are there to serve them themselves, to grow their
little fiefdom, their little empire, their little bureaucracy, and they
really don't care about you or their initial mission. The
director is proof of a cover up by silencing injury reports,

(32:15):
ohshad denied workers their rights, erase their suffering from the record,
and shielded corporations from liability. And remember that while this
was happening, the rules are put in by Donald Trump
through CMS, Medicare and Medicaid. We'll give you a bonus
if you point at somebody and say that they got COVID.
We'll give you another huge bonus if you put them
on a ventilator, and then we'll give you a twenty

(32:37):
percent bonus for everything that you charge them in the
hospital because now they've been labeled as a COVID patient.
I mean, this is so incredibly heavily subsidized and incentivized financially.
And then at the same time they come out and say, well,
we want to know if anybody is non symptomatic but

(32:59):
has had a par procedure that pointed the finger at them.
But if they're sick and dying, we don't care. Don't
tell us, We don't say anything about that. OSHA's policy
for reporting COVID nineteen vaccine reactions differs from policies for
reporting adverse events related to other shots, such as the
smallpox vaccine. So they already had a lot of stuff

(33:20):
about vaccinations on the OSHA site, talking about how we
need to know if somebody has a reaction to this stuff.
But again they're not. Just the whole thing is so
incredibly corrupt. How could anyone trust government? I am just
done with politics. I will never vote again. Well, I

(33:41):
say never. I can't imagine a situation where anybody that
I would ever vote for could even get on the ballot,
let alone get into the debates.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Anyone that I would vote for, they'd assassinate long before
he got a chance to make it into office.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's why people i'd vote for a been in jail. So,
speaking of going to jail, James Comy, his best bet
may be. The key figure in his defense may be
the guy that Trump had hired to investigate him, or
at least that his previous Attorney General, Bill Barr had
hired this guy that we kept hearing about, Durham, Durham, Durham,

(34:16):
Durham's going to take care of it and all this stuff.
John Durham, former special counsel. He was brought in to
investigate Russiagate stuff and the former FBI official Comi during
his four year investigation, and as they're pointing out in
this Ross Story article, Durham, whose appointment Trump supported, told

(34:38):
federal prosecutors investigating James Comy that he was unable to
uncover evidence that would support false statements or obstruction charges
against the former FBI director. So Trump's own guy investigate
him years ago and he did not get indicted because
the special prosecutor didn't find anything. So what Ross Story
is saying is that this guy may be key witness

(35:00):
in defense of James Comy. But when we look at
the James Comy thing, I think one of the things
that really stood out to me over the weekend was
this back and forth the political drama about the purp walk, Right,
this is one of the things that they do to people.
I mean, they did to Roger Stone, and they've done
it to Steve Bannon and other things. When you do
a purp walk with somebody who is not a dangerous criminal.

(35:23):
You call the press up and then you handcuff this
person and you walk them out through the gauntlet of
the press, so everybody can take pictures of them, and
you can start to portray your political enemy as a criminal.
Law enforcement's handcuffed this guy. He's obviously a criminal, right,
So the purp walk is a purely political political theater

(35:43):
move that is there. And so the fact that an
FBI agent was supposedly relieved of duty was fired because
this FBI agent refused to do a purp walk of
James Comy and people were pushing back Ontel, and his
response was, well, you work, you do what we tell

(36:04):
you to do, basically on paraphrasing him, you do what
we tell you to do, and if you don't do
what we tell you to do, you're fired. He would
neither confirm nor deny that the guy was fired, but
many sources said that he was fired, and Cash Mattel,
when asked directly about it, would not say that he
was not fired. Instead, he implied that the guy had
been fired because he was insubordinate. The order was to

(36:26):
purp walk James Komy so an FBI agent was relieved
a duty for declining to arrange a purp walk of
former director James Komy in front of news media cameras
after Kobe was federally charged last month. Four people briefed
on the matter said on Friday, so Komy was charged
on September the twenty fifth of making false statements and

(36:48):
obstructing a congressional investigation. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment
on personnel matters. Reuters did not immediately determine how or
when senior FBI officials warned to stage want into stage
bringing Comy into the bureau's Washington Field office. Only a
summons to appear in court was issued in the case,

(37:09):
not an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to
an FBI office for booking after a court summons is issued.
Trump has threatened to imprison his political rivals since he
first ran for president twenty fifteen, but this is first
time that he has sought and secured a grand jury
indictment against one of them. Trump's Justice Department is also

(37:31):
investigating others, such as Letitia James and John Bolton. So
Cash Hotel in the kind of classy way that the
guy has. When this stuff was reported about the purp walk,
he called MSNBC a clown factory of disinformation, and he
got a little bit more explicitly vulgar with it. But yeah,

(37:54):
it's he said, he put on X. I'm sorry, not on.
He didn't put it on X. It was put on
there by a former US attorney for the Eastern District
of Michigan wrote on X. DOJ policy prohibits purp walks
in front of news media. And so then you had
a lot of people replied to that, like Roger Stone,

(38:15):
Navarro Bannon. They said, oh really, then what happened to us?
This tells you, though, that this is a political theatrical prosecution.
It's not real. So the FBI has now not just
fired the guy who refused to purpwalk in, but they

(38:36):
have now supposedly fired finally the Southern Party Law Center,
which is trying to do purp walks to anybody that
they disagreed with on the right. You know, they call
us racist, they put us on a hate map, and
all the rest of this stuff that was a form
of purp walk. And of course the FBI has always
been allied with him. But about ten years ago, they
claimed that they were no longer using the Southern Party

(38:59):
Law Center. Now Cash Mattel is claiming that they've severed
all ties with them. So again, this is another one
of these deals where they lie to us like, no,
we don't have any mercury in the vaccines, and then
you find out, you know, they pushed that back for
twenty years, and then you find out just recently, oh,
yes they do, they do have mercury in the vaccines.
But now they promise that they're going to take it

(39:21):
out of there. Do you believe that? Do you believe
that they're not going to play the SPLC game anymore
as well? And truly is amazing that the guy who's
only involvement in the civil rights movement, Morristie, who founded
a Southern property law center, his only involvement was to

(39:41):
defend the KKK. Well he was a lawyer. Then he
sets it out, creates a direct mail company, and then
gets the mailing list of the Democrats because he helps Carter,
and he reinvents himself as being you know, he sees
now everybody he sees as KKK, treats them as such.

(40:02):
So the question is in twenty twelve, a domestic terrorist
used the hate map to target the Family Research Council,
a conservative Christian think tank in Washington, d C. Planned
to kill everyone in the building. A building manager largely
foiled the attack but suffered lifelong injuries in the process.

(40:22):
And so they used that hate map was inspired that
attack that was there. Remember the guy came in and
he thought that let him in if he came in
with a bag of Chick fil A, I'm here to
deliver Chick fil A, when actually he was delivering bullets
for people. The guy sussed out that he was crazy

(40:42):
and engaged him and got injured with that. But that
is a long standing scam that has been run by
the Southern Party Law Center as well as by the FBI. Well,
Colonel McGregor says, it looks like we're on a collision
path with Ron yet again. This is a long interview
that he had with Life Site News and they asked

(41:04):
him in the interview, I said, is the US preparing
for a larger war? Colonel Douglas McGregor said the potential
for conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East with
with Iran to escalate out of control is huge. He
said Trump, with regard to the conflict in Ukraine, has
reversed his original stance of staying out of the conflict,

(41:26):
he said, a result of Trump's decision to adopt the
Biden policy towards Moscow. Yeah, Trump is turned into Biden.
And we're not talking about steps here. We're talking about
the steps of Russia that he wants to get involved in.
Trump has agreed to give kiv Us intelligence to support
strikes on energy infrastructure deep inside of Russia, course, helping

(41:49):
Ukraine take the war to Putin again. He is owned
and controlled by the deep state. Trump is, so he's
going to do whatever the military industrial came complex wants,
whatever the CIA wants. Hundreds of top military officials in Quantico, Virginia.
They asked him this His life site asked him, who
flew in from all over the world. What was the

(42:12):
deeper meaning of this unusual move? Is this a straightening
up of military culture and light of a possible impending
larger war. Colon McGregor answered, He said, potus is all
about optics and glamour. The message regarding fitness and merit
based advancement was genuine, but the rest was a stream
of consciousness and unclear. That's exactly how you started rambling

(42:35):
about steps and about firemen. We are not ready to
fight a major war at this point. To do so
would be foolish and dangerous. Yeah, that is exactly what
they're up to doing. So then asked him of the
reports that activity is rising in the Department of War,

(42:56):
can you confirm this rumor? He says, yes, US forces
are concentrating away reminiscent of the last conflict between Israel
and Iran. It appears that we're on a collision path
with Iran yet again. So they asked him what would
be the possible scenario of a larger war and with
whom would it start and to where would it spread? Oh, everywhere,

(43:16):
he says. The potential for conflicts in Ukraine, in the
Middle East with Iran to escalate out of control is huge.
The recent French seizure of a Russian oil tanker at
sea is an act of war. NATO is without leadership
as a result of Trump's decision to adopt the Biden
policy toward Moscow. They said that there's growing criticism of

(43:36):
and resistance to Israel's policy towards Gaza, and he said, well,
Israel is losing popular support in the US, but it
still controls Washington and the White House. Net Yahoo must
move soon or risk losing the unconditional support of the
Greater Israel project. The Islamic states in the Middle East
and Egypt are aligning with China's backing in Russia's support.

(43:59):
There is no incentive for Israel to compromise or delay action.
So it looks like we're moving to warn multiple fronts.
And when we look at the unilateral action of the
French navy, it does it pales in comparison to what
Trump is doing with Venezuela, and he definitely wants to
get involved in a war there. That's going to be

(44:21):
a nice wag the dog distraction for him and give
him a chance to virtue signal about saving us all
from drugs. It's going to be utter nonsense, you know it,
I know it. Green Party and the UK is voting
to abolish landlords because they're communists, right. The Greens have

(44:42):
always been watermelon communists. They have a thin veneer of
green and on the inside the completely red. So what
they're talking about doing is the Telegraph has pointed out
tenants would be given first right to buy. When the
landlord sells with their total rent paid as discounted, it
is going to take all the rent that you paid,
over all the years total of it, and they're going

(45:04):
to apply that to the property cost and government backed
financing provided councils would give a second right to buy.
The party also wants to introduce rent controls, abolish right
to buy for public tenants, and end buy to let mortgages.
In other words, you a mortgage where you would buy

(45:27):
it so that you could make it rental property. No,
we're not going to give you a mortgage for that.
So basically the Green Party is full on communist. That's
what this is all really about. There's another way to
explain this, and a word is communism. The notion that
the landlords added no positive value to the economy or
to society. That's full Marxism, and that the relationship between

(45:51):
landlord and tenant is inherently an intrinsically extractive and exploitative.
So that's where these people are coming from. We talked
about how stupid the society is. Here's a how much
did you pay it to figure out what to name
your son? There? It was free? That's right. Well, some

(46:11):
people are paying up to thirty thousand dollars for advice
on getting the perfect name for their child. Can you imagine?
I guess the name I would give them would be
something like what the Indians would do, son of Sucker? Yeah,
the sucker born every minute? Isn't there?

Speaker 6 (46:29):
Then?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
A big chief, great fool.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
This woman is a consultant for baby naming. She's thirty
seven years old today. She has over one hundred thousand
followers on TikTok and Instagram and a portfolio of more
than five hundred names that she has curated for families.
Her entry level service starts at two hundred dollars for
an email of a personalized name suggestion, complete with meanings

(46:58):
and popularity. For end depth services or prices, sore ten
thousand dollars package provides VIP treatment. What else could you do? Well?
Her most exclusive services, costing thirty thousand dollars, include everything
from genealogical research to full baby name branding campaigns.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Well, just every person involved with this. I don't know
what we should do with them, but they can't be
left out in society. I refuse to be surrounded by
these people any longer.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
It's a tell of utter helplessness.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
If you spend thirty thousand dollars on a baby name,
you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's that simple.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Your vote does not count anymore.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Well, if you're in the UK, the answer is already simple.
It's just mohammed. Right, they have to think twice. It's
just Mohammed. Well, it happens popular, that's right. Yeah, Trumps
report is this is NBC News saying that his support
among influential podcast is waning. And so they talk about

(48:02):
Joe Rogan and THEO vaugh That's you know, why did
these people support him after what he did in twenty twenty?
And why would anybody take political advice or a Nallis
Rogan from Joe Rogan or theo vaugh over anything, but
especially over Trump? Because can't you figure out what he
did in twenty twenty and still was bragging about when

(48:24):
he ran again. But these people supported him? And now
because I don't know. Was it COVID, was it Pfizer
and Albert Borlo? Was it Trump? RX? Was it the wars?
Was at the the no due process and setting up
the drug wars? The invasion of police state into cities?
Was it the censorship. Was it the on again, off

(48:46):
again tariff lockdowns and destruction of our economy? Was it
the Epstein files? You know? What was it that finally
woke these people up? I don't know. It's like a
multiple choice question. I think, to me, he checks all
of the boxes, and when we come back, we'll talk
about some of that. But again, I just want to
tell you that we have an interesting book that we're

(49:07):
going to be talking about in the third hour, and
there's a lot of parallels actually to the current Fourth
Turning Executive, and that's the previous Fourth Turning Executive FDR.
This is a guy who ran as a peace candidate
who then got us involved in World War Two. This
is a guy who was very instrumental in the gold

(49:28):
versus Fiat struggle that was there and set us on
the path of Caynesian destruction. A guy who did a
rapid expansion of a leviathan federal government, very much like
Trump is trying to do. A guy who was fully
into surveillance and attacking free speech. And there was actually
a revolt against him that joined both the left and

(49:50):
the right against FDR. But he also used the FCC
to censor into control of as critics. So this is
a topic that, as they say, if you don't learn
anything from history, you're destined to repeat it, if you
don't learn the lessons of history. And that is especially
true of the fourth turning and the kind of great

(50:12):
president that these great men like Fdr Lincoln and Trump
who set us these collision courses with history and with
each other. And so I think this is a very
timely book review has some great reviews from people like
Jim Bobart, who I respect a great deal. So that'll

(50:34):
be coming up in third hour. Let's talk a little
bit about some of these comments here.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Rad Is Bro, thank you very much. We appreciate the
tip because imagine FBI killing Americans and setting up killers
terrorists and no one had a problem with it. Perp
walk and comy is too far, that would be that's
uncalled for, That'd be mean.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, that's what the Guardian wants to focus on, not
the fact that we've had three hundred people groppel out
of black helicopters and chicaigo and stick guns in people's
faces and throw flash bangs in the apartments. They were
ripping kids out and put them into uh handcuffs, I mean,
that's that's just normal government. As James Komy, that's wrong,

(51:11):
Donal Lord.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
Everything they focus on the purp Walk of James Komy
where you know the January sixth people were left in
jail for all that time under Biden. And that's right,
really amazing, that's right.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Dunne Lord went three three seven says, I guess the
refrigerators are going to monitor your waistline. He also says, Lol,
someone has already hacked those types of refrigerators. That's great,
that's one. I wonder how much control they have. Can
they just turn up the heat in your refrigerator so
all your food spoils, they'll.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Die of to many poison they eat that mayonnaise and.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Just giving you gas show intestinal trouble all the time.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
Fran scene before he move. It reminds me of that joke.
I don't know what. Maybe George Cornell and he said,
you're looking at a refrigerator and you're trying to find something.
You pull this thing out and you go, is that
meat or is that cake? Ever so long? Maybe the
refrigerator can answer that for you. Maybe it's hooked up
to a large language model.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Freand seen government knowing what is in your fridge. I
never imagined that.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
There's no information to inane or mundane that they won't collect.
Be my Valentine? Was it George carl And who was
looking in the fridge for a food item, wondering did
something eat something else?

Speaker 2 (52:32):
I handy.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Hospitals already know if you've been jabbed or not, So
this question are you up to date on your vaccines?
Is that a gotcha? They know when your v card
is valid or fake. Jerry Alatalo, whoever drafted that directive
at OSHA to cover up COVID vaccine injuries, is in
big trouble. I believe when they're escorted a prison in
handcuffs and leg irons.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah, a purp walk, Yeah right, overture.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
OSHA is a toothless dog. It ain't what it pretends
to be. We used to have a toothless dog. Awesome,
King zero arrest, Zaxa boxa seventy billion dollar deal with
Pfizer for mr Anda jabs. Is Kennedy laughs with mass murderers.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Yeah that's right. Yeah, they're with Albert Borla and Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Mass murderers KWD sixty eight. Trump says he's reactivating the
base at Bogram. You never know what his wheel of
stupidity will land on.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
Oh, big war, big war.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah, let's restarted the Afghanistan war. Bulldog.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
We're in for a rude awakening by the UN agenda.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
This is bad.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Yeah, I pulled that article up. So, Yeah, the UIN
wants to control how and what kids are taught like
they own them. The UN is coming after homeschooling. It's
on their agenda.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Well, they have been for the longest time, you know,
for I played that child. Yeah. Uh, the UN Convention
for the Rights of the Child, it's for all this
stuff that children have rights and we have to separate
them from their parents. This is what you're seeing working out,
and this transgender stuff, that's just one manifestation. That's the
general rule though, that children have rights. They should be

(54:03):
treated like adults. Adults should be treated like children. And
because the children have understanding, they can change their gender
and they can do many other things. We have to
separate the children from their parents. And that's why there
was the printeral Rights dot Org was set up to
but it's like only about a sentence. They had come

(54:23):
up with an idea that would be amendment to the Constitution,
and so I did some of those ads for them.
But the un has hated the family for the longest
period of time all the globals do, because again, that
is God's institution, and they are set and raging against God.
And so they have to destroy the family in order

(54:45):
to destroy the children. And they hate humanity. If you
hate humanity, you've got to destroy children. That's their main mission.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Ton of Lord one three three seven. Man, I wish
we could import rushing arms and ammo. Again, their stuff
was cheap and nice. You could get an AK one
hundred series rifle they're a current issued rifle for next
to nothing back in the day. The prices on firearms
has gone through the roof. It's truly amazing. I remember, Yeah,
you used to be able to get a Mossburg five
hundred for one hundred and fifty two hundred dollars or

(55:14):
something like that.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Especially ammunition costs.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Anytime you want to go practice, it's like, well, better
throw two hundred dollars down the drain. It's not that
it's throwing it down the drain. It's a useful skill
to have. But you you all understand what I'm saying
it's painful. It hurts well, dog, people don't understand how
the UN works today, control your politicians to mandate their rules.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
It's also sort of a cyclical feedback. We you know,
our politicians are involved with the UN, so they can
send legislation there or the UN can send it back.
It's all a gigantic, incestuous, Gordian knot of corruption.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yeah, but when you look at things, it's like the
family of the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child trying to do gun control with a arms trade treaty.
That's there. But everything that we see out there, all
the climate change stuff that came from the UN as well,
the drug war came from the UN. They have been
the seminal point of so much of this stuff. And

(56:08):
the question is, you know, why does Trump stay in
the UN? If he's an anti globalist, if he claims
that he's against all the things that the UN has created,
then why isn't he out of the UN? Well that
tells you right there, his actions are what you need
to look at, not what the man says. Audi Mr R.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Have you guys seen the ICE recruitment videos. They want
to turn the country into a friggin perpetual war zone.
They're probably going to get their wish.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Yeah, I know, they have like a job that they
want people to be a you know, homeland patriot or
something like that, Homeland defender. I guess it was. And
you know, again, you can be the one who help
us to purge people out of this asiety. It really is.
Trump is when he bought the people in, he's basically

(56:55):
telling them we've got a war within and you guys
need to practice in the cities. And that was just
the most amazing thing to me that you know, here
we had Alex Jones who did for documentary It's Not
Police State, and we talk about how it was very
concerning and a real harbinger of what was to come.
The fact that they were putting military equipment in these

(57:16):
different areas, the fact they were holding these drills and
so forth. Now Trump comes out to an assembled meaning
of all the top level brass the Army, Navy, air Force, everybody,
and he tells him that's what he's going to do.
And there's crickets from Alex about that and from the
conservatives they should be upset about that, But it was
all still it was just about partisan politics. They care

(57:38):
if it's Obama. They don't care if it's their guy
that is going to turn the country into a police state.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Yeah, Audi, Mr r. The price of firearms has gone
up because they want a few of the masses as
possible to be armed. And it's an effective form of
gun control if you can just raise the price of
everything at the point no one can afford it.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Yeah, I've effectively experiencing Lamborghini control. I will if they
have made it impossible for me to own one.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Well, again, you go back to the first Obama some
of the first things that he did.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Yeah, trying to make it try and recycle the brass.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Yeah, the military would recycle brass. And so they had
at Fort Drum, New York, which is a major source
that they had them crush the brass and sell it
to China at scrap costs, which is a really stupid
economically to do that, because you're destroying the value of
the brass. And they got that turned around with some senators,

(58:34):
but that's been their goal all along. If you don't
have ammunition, ammunition control is what they're going to do,
and they can do that with price control. And if
you don't have any ammunition, you've got.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
A club, a fancy club.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Yeah, you're like Davy Crockett at the Alument. We know
how that turned out.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Unfortunately, trump Berger by a twenty two long rifle version
of your rifle to practice. Save the good ammo mm hm,
we have one twenty two. It's a liver action. Lever
actions are a lot of fun. Also iconic. Michael Paul
Mossburg Vive Hunter Mainstay is still available for for under
one four hundred dollars. It's nice to know they haven't

(59:11):
gone up that obscenely. Still.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Like I say, I.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Remember you could find them for one hundred and fifty
sometimes two hundred dollars, and I wonder what they are now.
I'll have to look into that.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and
we will be right back. Oh, I guess I'm going
to push a button, don't I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Speaker 7 (01:01:12):
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.

(01:01:34):
But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of
you American suckers can buy me some at the Davidknightshow
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.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Galas and social events.

Speaker 7 (01:01:55):
If you want to save on shipping, just put it
in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from
the USA.

Speaker 8 (01:02:11):
Whether you're feeling like the Booze Where or bluegrass, APS
radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of
channels on our app at apsradio dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
I'm tumbling the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Ground, that's right, the tumbleweeds. You can get your fire
starting tumbleweeds at Homestead Products dot shop. They've got a
sale going on right now. You can pick them up
a discounted rate. You can also use promo code nine
per ten percent off their natural wood. As you can
see on the screen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Think where a discount. It's only like four bucks to
get sixteen pieces.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
It's an incredible value. I use tumbleweeds all the time
when I, as I said yesterday, when I'm starting our
charcoal grill, I make it really easy. I've never had
it fail to start the grill, even when there's wind out.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
It was a great job.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
So I fully recommend tumbleweeds.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
And of course it's not just a barbecue. It's we
got winter coming up, you know, if you want to
use that as a helps start your fire and your fireplace.
So they used a great idea, you know. I see
you can find a use for anything. And Home Products
has found to use for tumbleweeds. Start with them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
They're handy, handy, handy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Well, I want to I mentioned earlier the Epstein thing,
and I think this is very important, folks, because really
think about why this is very important. It's not just
the moral abomination that's here, but what does it tell
you when people who are incredibly ambitious, like Mike Johnson
and Donald Trump, when they will basically fall on their

(01:03:55):
own swords to keep this information private. What is this
I tell you about this? Well, we have some people
trying to tell us about it. Epstein Island has received
more than two thousand previously unreported flights. A new data
investigation has uncovered more than two thousand previously unreported flights
to Epstein's private island. The majority of the flights originated

(01:04:18):
from financial power centers like New York, London and Geneva,
suggesting a network of professional connections. If you find out
who these people are, you're going to find out who
controls our politicians and government besides Israel. In addition to Israel,
some of them will be an overlap as well. The
investigation by Zelingo Data Refinery is shedding new light on

(01:04:40):
the scale of travel associated with Epstein's island. The analysis
found three hundred and forty eight additional connections to Epstein
Island across fifty two hundred and fifty three flight records
between nineteen ninety five and two thousand and seven, adding
up to at least four nine hundred and sixty six
reported in an un reported flights to the island. See

(01:05:02):
that you can go back and do data mining like
this now very and glean a lot of information. It's
a shame that they won't release all the financial records
that are there, because that would tell us even more
information about who was being blackmailed, but they keep that
under wraps. Researchers also identified oney eighty nine previously unknown

(01:05:23):
flight routes that were linking major financial hubs of private destinations.
The findings were compiled from publicly available Justice Department records.
The Department Justice didn't think you could do anything with
this stuff, so they made it public. This guy analyzed it,
validated against three independent sources to ensure accuracy, said the team.

(01:05:48):
The CEO of Zelingo Data Refinery said, being a father,
the Epstein scandal really disturbed me. The American government are
putting a cap on what information they will reveal. Now,
I thought, what the the world has a right to
know what is going on? And why are these people
being hidden? Right? Why are they hiding behind anonymity? Well,

(01:06:09):
it's the Why is Trump hiding them? Is really the question.
I thought, let's do it and let's see what's going on.
The primary sources materials included released documents from the Department
of Justice, public flight logs, and analysis of data sets.
They then validated the information against three independent sources of
information to check its accuracy. They said, ze Lingo Data

(01:06:32):
Refinery has completed a proprietary data refinement and investigative analysis
of the Epstein flight logs. Our Priority Refinery investigation leveraged
advanced data correlation and entity resolution techniques to uncover previously
unreported patterns and connections. And I'm not sure exactly what

(01:06:53):
that is, a man, I know what data correlation is.
I don't know what entity resolution is, but.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
I somehow poll andeer would be able to see any
of these links when it's billionaires that are investigation.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Yeah. Volunteer on the other hand is completely blind. They
can't see any of this. Good point lands. So they
found that there was twenty three hundred and forty eight
more individuals who had visited Epstein Island, And he said,
that's huge because we were we did know only about
one hundred and fifty to two hundred. Now they have
identified another twenty five hundred that they now know about.

(01:07:30):
The data also revealed that there were structured travel patterns.
Out of these fifty two hundred and fifty three flights,
it showed that thirty six percent of the flights on
the island came from New York City, eighteen percent came
from Palm Beach, Florida, fourteen percent from the US Virgin Islands.
Analysis of the flights reveals concentrated origin patterns and significant

(01:07:53):
clustering around specific geographic hubs. The data shows a network
primarily originating from major financial centers and private aviation hubs
rather than distributed locations. They showed that forty seven percent
of the flights came from financial power centers like New
York City, London, and Geneva, twenty eight percent came from

(01:08:15):
residential hubs including Palm Beach, US, Virgin Islands, and New Mexico,
and that five percent came from Washington, d C. The
district of criminals. So again, if you find these people,
then you find not only the criminal pedophiles who are
being blackmailed, but you also start to get an insight

(01:08:36):
into the real power that controls Trump, the GOP, and
the Democrats. These power hungry narcissists and predators will commit
political suicide in order to hide the identities of these predators.
That tells you everything you need to know about these people.
How many different angles, how many different facets do we?

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I guess you could say angles. You know, you could
just like could hold a diamond up look at all
the different facets. She rotated around. What about Trump? When
you look at him from every angle, from every angle,
the man is a criminal and a murderer. It's amazing
what's going on with this guy. So then the gallain
Maxwell appealed to the Supreme Court has now been shut down.

(01:09:18):
Her only hope now is Obidon. I guess she's putting
together that that message with the hologram helped me. Obdon,
you're my only hope because the Supreme Court has shut
her down, and of course, you know, Trump said I
wish her well, So maybe Obidon will help her. Maxwell,

(01:09:40):
sent us to twenty years in federal prison, has sought
to overturn her conviction on the grounds that she was
unlawfully prosecuted. She filed her appeal three days after meeting
with a top Trump DOJ official, so evidently they stressed
to her now it is down to Trump to issue
a pardon that she's going to get out of jail.

Speaker 5 (01:10:01):
I mean, there is still the question of who is
she alleged to have traffick them too? If there were
no buyers, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I like the way they describe it here. Maxwell's legal
team is crestfallen.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Just yeah, yeah, or Maxwell's legal team.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
I'm sad for them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Yeah, probably her legal team coming from the White House.
I guess when Trump started acting all weird about it,
calling a list the Democrat hoax, a fracture formed within
MAGA as supporters were counting on Trump to release the list,
not act as if he's on it. This is from
zero Edge. I thought that was pretty good when Trump

(01:10:38):
started acting all weird about it, that's one way to
put it. I remember there was like a fifteen year
period where any normal person would say Trump was acting
all weird when he was the best friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
Wait were, of course deeply disappointed about the Supreme Court.
But this fight is not over. They're still obi Haan

(01:11:00):
Maxwell claimed in her appeal that she was wrongly prosecuted
because she's covered by a two thousand and seven sweetheart
non prosecution deal negotiated by the US Attorney's Office for
the Southern District of Florida. And who was that? That
was Alex az Art, the guy that Trump then made
Secretary of Labor. Trump's fingerprints are all over this. I mean,

(01:11:22):
this is much worse than the six degrees of separation
with Kevin Bacon. Just look at the one or two
degrees of separation, which Jeffrey Epstein. That's Trump and his
entire orbit. You know, he's got this guy who was
just a prosecutor there in Miami, and he handpicks this
guy to be the secretary of Labor. Why right, it's
because of the Epstein connection. And when they were interviewing

(01:11:44):
him as part of his confirmation and they asked him
about why he gave them that sweetheart deal, he said,
I was told he was working with intelligence and to
lay off. And so that's he was not going to
lie under oath about that because he knows better the
commit perjury in the attorney's office.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
I like here, how says claimed that she was wrongly prosecuted,
not because she's not guilty, just because she's covered under
a deal.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
No, we already bargained for this, but we had a deal.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Come on, you said the trafficking was all right for Jeffrey.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Yeah, supposed to be me too. According to the agreement,
it says the US quote agrees that it will not
institute any criminal charges against any potential co conspirators of Epstein, including,
but not limited to, four other suspects. Maxwell was not
listed as one of those suspects. However, her lawyers claimed

(01:12:39):
that she didn't need to be Well, the question is
who are those other four people? Right? Are we allowed
to know who they are? Maybe not, I don't know,
don't tell anybody. The Department of Justice, meanwhile, has argued
that the former US attorney who negotiated that deal, Alex Acosta,
who then became the was put in a Trump cabinet,

(01:13:00):
have the authority to bind federal districts, including the Southern
District of New York where Maxwell was tried and convicted.
So what they said was, well, you had to deal
with them and the Southern district in Miami, but in
the northern district where New York is, you didn't have
the authority to make that kind of a deal. So
again Acosta and Trump fishy from the Trump's first administration.

(01:13:25):
It just continues. All these things continue. Folks who are
going to take a really quick break, You want to
get some of these comments before.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
Tells Patriot, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Yes, really appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Again, it's the support of the viewers and listeners that
keeps us going, says, forgive me for not voting in
the congressional primary today. It seems the only policy I
can get I can get out of their tv ads
is whether they are pro or anti Trump not interested.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Niabaro twenty twenty nine. AI will soon be in charge
of all background checks. Good luck passing it if the
check of your name is that of Western origin, that's right.
No more Steve Smith's stebevs. Guard responding to Guard Goldsmith,
I don't trust the medical profession. It's a business. They
need customers, like private prisons, each will get what they need.

(01:14:13):
Epstein Island says, Mark my words, Trump's name is plastered
all over the flight logs. I suppose Epstein Island would know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Trump's name is plastered all over Epstein period. I mean,
I think one of the classic things too, is the
fact that when they reported that birthday greeting thing, you know,
and Trump says, that's a lot. You know what. Wall
Street Journal reported what somebody described to them, and they
reported it accurately because it was later released. But in
between those two periods of time, Trump sues them for

(01:14:43):
like ten billion dollars, and they're going to continue with
that lawsuit because it isn't just like with Komi. It's
about doing a purp walk. It's about creating noise and disturbance.
It's not about getting anything time that's important. Just like
you're talking before, the congressional rates races are all pro

(01:15:05):
Trump or anti Trump. It's all just partisan froth. They
don't care at all about us. They don't care about
the rule of law. They don't care about creating a
civilization or keeping the civilization from falling apart. As a
matter of fact, they're both both sides, pro and anti
Trump are working to tear the society down. That's the
purpose of this.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
Michael Paul One. Gold hit four thousand today.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Wow, Wow, it's amazing. I have a report that didn't
age two well. It was from Friday, and that was
Goldman's Access said we think gold might hit four thousand
in the second quarter of next year. It's like I
looked at that and it's like, well, that has an
age two well over the last couple of days, and
now it hit four thousand. We had silver over fifty.
It's amazing. What's happening to the stuff. And again, it's

(01:15:52):
not like gold and silver getting more valuable. It's that
the US dollar is getting far less valuable.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
It's also funny that gold Goldman Sex doesn't know anything
about gold.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Apparently. Yeah, it's done a lord.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
One three three seven. Well, at least the Supreme Court
rejected or appeal that woman should receive capital punishment for
what she allowed to happen to those kids. Full agreement,
Full agreement.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
I Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Well again, just remind
you that if you go to David Knight Diye Gold,
I'll take you to Tony Arban and you can start
to gradually accumulate gold and silver. If you don't have
a lot that you can put into it, put what
you can into it. Don't stash your money in the bank.

(01:16:34):
Put it in something that is going to hold its
value better. The bank's not going to pay you any
interest on anything, and the dollar is an evaporating asset.
You can think of it as I've got a bunch
of water here that I'm saving for a rainy day
maybe or maybe not a day that's not raining, and
you put it in a container that's leaking. That's really

(01:16:55):
what's happening to your money and the bank. It's like
a leaky container trying to save water when you're going
to need it. Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks,
and we will be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Well, Sam Altman at open Ai is warning that the
AI industry is due for a spectacular implosion. And remember
almost all the growth in the stock market has come
from investments into a couple of companies. And also remember
that AI, whatever it may do in the future, of
whatever use is that they may have for it, has

(01:18:50):
not delivered on the promises and the hype that they
put out there. And once you look at the stock market,
and the stock market is not really connected to reality.
When people start talking about something, they overhype it, and
you get a lot of people who are over optimistic
about something, and they all pile into it in mass,

(01:19:11):
and that builds the bubble. And then in the same way,
when one of the lemmings realizes that this isn't really
what it was hyped up to be, it may still
be something real, it may still have some uses, but
when they realize it's not hyped up, then it is
a mass scramble for the exits. And so Sam Altman
is saying, well, yeah, there's going to be booms, there's

(01:19:31):
gonna be busts. It's going to go over many different decades.
It says people will overinvest and they'll lose money, they
will underinvest and they'll lose a lot of revenue. And
this article here says this is the kind of Blase
bromidic talk that you'd expect to hear from a coach
of a sports team that's on a historic losing street.

(01:19:52):
Oh yes, there'll be ups and downs, and then your
eyes glaze over and you forgive them because hey, it's
just a game. But this is something that's different, he said. Altman, however,
commands a half trillion dollar startup that is the tip
of the spear for an out of control AI gold rush.
Pretty Much the entire world economy is tangled up in
hundreds of billions of dollars of investment that's been poured

(01:20:16):
into the industry. This worrying statistic provided to The Wall
Street Journal in the US Capital expenditures for AI contributed
to more growth in the economy in the past two
quarters than all of computer consumer spending, according to Neil Duda,
head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, citing data

(01:20:39):
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. So it's hardly an
exaggeration to suggest that if the AI bubble bursts, it
could take the whole economy down with it. So Altman
told reporters, he said, so, are we in a phase
where investors as a whole are over excited about AI
in my opinion, he said, yes. So as that happens,

(01:21:01):
we've got terms a lot of issues of underperforming, over
promising and underperforming technology. Amazon has had its sights set
from the very beginning in terms of using drones for delivery.
Go point to point and have a drone drop it
on your front porch there. Well, they ran into a
little bit of a wrinkle here, and do you have

(01:21:23):
the equip of that lance. This is Amazon drones went
kamikaze into some construction equipment and I think this is
an Arizona I believe, Yeah, it was, yeah, Phoenix, Arizona.
And they have some video of these drones that collided
with these construction cranes and blew up and crashed in debris.

(01:21:45):
People got pictures of the debris. It happened about ten
am local time. The drones were flying northeast back to back.
Before the collision. The drones smashed into the crane that
was lowering an air conditioning unit on the roof of
a building and e shuld These drones at eighty pounds.
So these things are pretty significant. And they're going to

(01:22:06):
roll out the red carpet for Amazon while they shut
everybody else down there you go, that's that's in China.
That's a Chinese tell us a bit about that lance.
That was they put fireworks or something on the This
is part of the Chinese New Year celebration, I believe.
And these drones started colliding and crashing to the ground.
Everybody scrambling. I mean, it's literally raining fire from above.

(01:22:32):
You want fireworks? Look at that. That's amazing because the
whole row of drones on fires they're they're dumping. Yeah. Yeah,
that was in China. So yeah, some technology needs a
little bit of work. And so just like with the injections,
you know, you want to do a little bit of
testing before you roll the stuff out. In twenty twenty one,

(01:22:53):
a drunk crash and Amazon testing range and organ sparked
an acres wide blaze. Last December, MK thirty drones plummeted
hundreds of feet to their doom after their propellers suddenly
stopped spinning midflight. So again, Amazon is hoping that it's
going to have five hundred million packages delivered per year

(01:23:15):
by twenty thirty, half a billion. So just imagine what
the sky is going to look like with drones out there.
That might be enough to start getting people to decide
they don't want to use Amazon. We'll see what happens
with that, you know. There was also an article about
the Denmark drones and questioning whether or not that whole

(01:23:36):
thing was a false flag, especially when you look at
what had happened about a year and a half ago
with all the drones up in the Northeast Corridor. Are
these people really think that they're going to trick us
into World War three with some kind of a drone
display over airports? As this is happening, Amazon is facing

(01:23:57):
FAA and NTSB probe because of this. And again it's
just a few months after they paused their drone deliveries
in Tollison and College Station Texas. That's where Texas A
and m IS and Collison and College College station temporarily
following two crashes in the Pendleton, Oregon test site, and

(01:24:21):
so those are being investigated by the FAA and the
National Transportation Safety Board. So yesterday we talked about the
AI boyfriends that got that were murdered by Sam Altman.
For these for these women, they're very upset about that.
They wanted to cut down on some of this creepy
engagement that the AI is doing. And there are a

(01:24:44):
lot of women women who are upset about that. Now
this is an article about the other side of this,
and this is boys are looking for AI girlfriends because
they are obedient, yielding, and happy to follow, except that
they're not real. And so again there's a difference between
men and women. But they can both be crazy, can't

(01:25:07):
they drive this stuff? Eleanor twenty four is a Polish
historian a lecturer at a University of warsaw. Isabelle twenty
five is a detective serving with the New York Police Department.
Brook thirty nine is an American housewife who enjoys an
opulent Miami lifestyle financed by her frequently absent husband. And

(01:25:27):
all of them are AI girlfriends that will send you
nude photographs and videos and so this is there. So
what is that service that does the you know, they
pay women to.

Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
Send escort service?

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
No only fans, only fans. Yeah, this is like AI OnlyFans.
And the people putting this out saying, well, hey, you
know this is all our alternative. We don't harm any women.
You know, these women are not real and so they're
not being human traffic, they're not being beaten up by
a pimp or whatever. And so this is a good thing,
except that that's only one half of the equation. For

(01:26:07):
the men, it's not a good thing. And so it
means that there's not real women on the other side
of this. But it does mean that for men is
a very concerning thing. Again that they also do AI
generated child sexual abuse imagery. And I remember had a
guest on one time who was saying, I don't know
why people are getting upset about these child sex dolls,

(01:26:30):
and it's like, well, I think I do. You know,
if you're going to feed that appetite, what is going
to happen is eventually people are going to act on
that appetite. Right, we all know that we have different
natures and what you wind up being is whatever nature
that you're feeding, And so like a drug, you're going
to constantly be looking for that next tie and eventually

(01:26:51):
I think it's not an exaggeration to say that on
this slippery slope that it pushes people in that direction.
The bottom line is it's not real. The people are
being harmed by it are the women who have the
AI boyfriends and the men who have the AI girlfriends.
They don't have real friends. There's nothing real at all
about that. Tesla is being sued by some families who

(01:27:14):
say that faulty doors led to two deaths. We have
a very good friend who has a Tesla. I got
to drive it once. It's a great driving car. Actually,
it's very different driving car than any other car that
I've driven because it's the acceleration is so quick, and
it's also got redrended braking, so it's like driving a
slot car. You step on the gas and it really goes.

(01:27:37):
You take your foot off and it really stops really sure,
and it's got a low center of gravity, so it's
good handling. The problem is the door thing. He got
stuck in his car for a couple of hours and
he had to He said, fortunately I had my phone
with me. I contacted customer support and they remotely had
to unlock his door. Well, good luck with that if

(01:27:59):
you have an automobile accident and the batteries are starting
to catch fire, which is what happened to two college
students in California. Their families are now suing Tesla. They
were in a cyber truck. But my friend doesn't have
a cyber truck. He's got a a Model three, right,
I believe. And anyway, the doors that opener shut with

(01:28:19):
a push of a button. Again, we have to overcomplicate everything,
even the vents on the air, the air in your
car that has to be controlled with the touchpad. Not
going to give you a physical thing that you can
actually just reach up and turn it towards you. That
would be too complicated. The suits have been filed in
California court by the families of two people nineteen and twenty.

(01:28:43):
The lawsuits are another setback for cyber truck, which has
sold poorly and been recalled eight times since last year.
But this is not a Tesla issue that is limited
to the cyber truck. This is across the board, Tesla
pioneered car doors that opener shut with a push of
a butt. Several other automakers have imitated that design, usually

(01:29:03):
on the electronic models. Electronic doors give cars a high
tech aura and may modestly reduce wind resistance because their
exterior handles typically do not protrude from the door. The
door lashes rely on a twelve volte battery separate from
the high voltage battery that drives the vehicle's electric motor.

(01:29:24):
If the power is cut off in a crash, the
electronic door mechanism may not work. So the lawsuit claims
that the injuries from the crash were very minor, but
that they died of burns and smoke inhalation after they
were caught inside the cyber truck could not open the
doors and the batteries. That even though it is a
minor crash, the batteries can be damaged and catch on fire.

(01:29:47):
They were unable to escape because manual door releases were
too difficult to find, says the lawsuit. Well, on another
note here, home Wi Fi will soon be able to
monitor our heart rates without any of those smart watches
or wearable devices, so you don't have to get a

(01:30:08):
ring that swells up, YA can get it off your finger,
and you're hoping that the battery and that thing that
is swelling up is not going to burst into flames,
so you soon won't need that. But I thought this
is a very interesting story because if the Wi Fi
is interacting with your body at that level, what is
it really doing to you physologically? New research shows the

(01:30:31):
signal from household Wi Fi device can be used to
monitor heart rate with state of the art accuracy without
the need for a wearable And of course they've been
able to use Wi Fi to surveil people inside their
homes as well through the walls. The government's got apps
for that. So they said that these people come up
with this thing called pulse Fi. What was that?

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
Length saw a new thing that they can now use
the optical sensors in high quality gaming might as microphones
to pick up on vibrations in your table and use
that as a receiver.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
That's crazy. Yeah. Back in the early eighties when I
was getting into first working and engineering, people were working
on government contracts. They had a tempesting program because they
said that you know, foreign countries were able to surveil
people who are working on government projects by monitoring the keystrokes, right,

(01:31:30):
the keystrokes would just like to knowing about that mouse.
Keystokes would produce a certain electronic composer really sensitive equipment.
They could determine which keys were being pressed, and so
there was a special kind of keyboards and computers that
had been tempested, which meant that they had been shielded
from that kind of MF leakage. But it's just amazing,

(01:31:54):
isn't it. How the links that people will go to
to use all these electronic devices to surveillance, whether it's
keyboards or mice or Wi Fi. Well, these Wi Fi
devices push out RF into the physical space and have
a receiving device, which is typically a computer or phone.
But as the waves pass through objects, some of the

(01:32:14):
wave is absorbed into those objects like our bodies and
causing mathematically detectable changes in the wave. Public Fi or sorry,
pulse Fi uses a Wi Fi transmitter and receiver. Pulse Fi.
That might be a joke where the guy goes up
to the counter and I have a sign says free

(01:32:35):
Wi Fi, and he goes, yeah, well there be anything else, Yeah,
I'll have some of that free whiffy that's up there. Anyway,
so I'll have some of that free pulse fee. And so,
they said, the team trained the algorithm to distinguish even
the faintest variations and signal caused by human heart beat
by filtering out all the other changes to the signal
in the environment or caused by activity such as movement.

(01:33:00):
The signal is very sensitive to the environment, so we
have to select the right filters to remove all the
unnecessary noise. The researchers ran experiments with one hundred and
eighteen participants and found that after only five seconds of
signal processing, they could measure heart rate with clinical level accuracy.
This is the thing that really amazes me. I've been

(01:33:20):
around computers all my life. I still can't get over
the fact that AI can give it a five second
clip of somebody's voice and it can clone it very convincingly.
And so here's just about a couple of seconds of
trying to train it on your heartbeat, and now the
Wi Fi app can monitor your heartbeat wirelessly. So they

(01:33:43):
said they have dubbed this clinical level accuracy in the
pulse fly. It works regardless of the position of the
equipment in the room or of the person whose heart
rate was being measured, no matter if they were sitting, standing,
lying down, or walking. The system still performed and it
only needed five seconds to get within a half a

(01:34:04):
beat per minute error. Longer periods of monitoring time increased
the accuracy and so again. And these are some very
cheap off the shelf components that they did this with.
They can monitor your movement if the police are interested
in that, They can do that with a Wi Fi,
even getting down to your heart level. But I think

(01:34:24):
it also speaks to how we have to be aware
of the RF signals that are around us and in us,
permeating us and the effect that has on our body.
Because this is just from their perspective, what does your
body think about all of that WiFi that's happening there.
So nearly one third of EV charging attempts fail. Here's

(01:34:46):
another thing that I thought was interesting. You might think
that if you've got an EV that you can just
pull up and plug the thing in and you charge. Well,
it doesn't work that way. It's not like you're ac
wall outlet. It's a very complicated handshaking signal protocol that

(01:35:08):
goes back and forth to do the charging. And that's
the issue because the cars have to be compatible with
the chargers. They've got software issues and protocol issues, and
those things have to be compatible.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
And hold on, my car needs a software update.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
That's right. And as they're doing updates, you can wind
up with compatibility issues between the charger device and your car.
So when you find one of these things that's available,
you don't know if it's actually going to be able
to work. And this is over and above the kind
of issues where when it's wintertime, like KRK Peters was

(01:35:45):
talking about, he had that ev from Mercedes and he
even when he found a charging station, he couldn't get
it to charge because it was too cold. And so
it's waiting for the battery to eat up. And that's
part of this software protocol that's there and the information
and is being passed back and forth between the car
and the charger. You know, first we've got to get

(01:36:05):
it up to a certain temperature and it's monitoring out
the state of the battery, is it's charging it and
all the rest of the stuff. So they said, when
you see an available charging station, you will be rolling
the dice that it will actually work. For new charging equipment,
a success rate of eighty five percent after the first
year after installation, falls to seventy percent after three years,

(01:36:28):
so that's pretty amazing. Only got about a third of
the time that it's actually going to work, even if
you've got a spot that's available there, and even in
the first year only eighty five percent, So it's a
fifteen percent chance that it won't be compatible with your car.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
What if you jail break your car.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
The infrastructure is falling into disrepair because of firmware and
software not being applied, and the same problems are in
the cars themselves. In many cases of hardware needs to
be replaced because it is incompatible with the latest firmware
or software. So in spite you'll look online and you'll
see that the infrastructure is showing that it has ninety

(01:37:08):
eight to ninety nine percent uptime rates. In spite of that,
only seventy one percent of charging attempts actually succeed. According
to the twenty twenty five ev Charging Reliability Report, they
analyze more than one hundred thousand sessions across twenty four
hundred chargers. Uptime tells us if a charger is available,

(01:37:28):
but it doesn't tell us if a driver can actually
plug in get a charge on the first attempt, so
it's like it's they have their own metrics and self
serving semantics involved in this. The complexity of EV charging
stems for multiple software systems that must work in harmony.
Charging stations and electric vehicles are literally computers, and it's

(01:37:48):
all about these handshakes and how one software understands another.
If you've ever been in a software space, you know
probably know that sometimes software doesn't really understand each other.
Oh believe me yea. Sometimes it may create a bit
of a wrinkle in that system. Maybe the vehicle itself,
the battery management system doesn't really understand why the charging

(01:38:10):
system is asking of it. So these technical barriers create
real world problems for EV operators, and one example, a
fleet driver might arrive at a station showing a green
available indicator, only to find that after plugging in, the
station fails to initiate authentication or begins the process but
returns to the available screen without completing a charge. Most

(01:38:33):
charging infrastructure involves multiple companies that are developing separate software
components for vehicles, hardware, charge management systems, payment processing, and connectors.
This fragmentation creates interoperability challenges that directly impact consumers. So
we've made things needlessly complex and that results in no reliability.

(01:38:58):
So let's cover these comments. Will take a break beel.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
Jason Barker says, I'm ready for a file fire sale
on GPUs regarding the coming AI crash. Trub Berger. They
forgot to uninstall the nine to eleven software from those drones.
Rookie mistake, that's right. Gotta make sure that you override
that code.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Spirit of the age.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
I got a window smasher in every car I use,
and a seat belt cutter too.

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
Those heady to have. Yeah, that's really popular in Germany,
and we we did some videos at one point in
time for a company that's doing promotional stuff and they
have a lot of different versions of seat belt covers
and cutters and windows smashes, because again, you know, if
you go into the water, even with an older car,
although the windows are electrical and so you can get

(01:39:43):
stuck in those things as well.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
Yeah, you don't want to. I don't want to be
stuck in there as it sinks or as it burns up. Iye, handy,
we don't like those door handles in ems too hard
to get unresponsive people out.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta get the jaws of life. I
want how the jaws of life work with a teslast.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
Now I've seen how shoddy the cyber truck is, how
poorly built it seems to be. So it probably cuts
through that thing like butter. That'd be my assumption. Yeah,
maybe maybe Handy has the windrow. If if you had
to cut open a cyber truck, Handy let us know,
yehes or you know of any.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
Thicker on that. So it might pose a bit of
a problem to the crucial jaws of life that rip
up in that door. Of course, I don't know how
long it takes to get that equipment to site.

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
Ye shadow boxer. They can read biometrics from a distance.
Now they can also manipulate it. Weull dog. They're going
to build a massive AI data warehouse. Each person is
going to have a digital identity called a primary key
high boost TRAVIS.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
That is not even a joke.

Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
They absolutely need firmware and software updates in that boat
for ice cars.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
Also internal combustion engines. Yeah. Not the immigration control yeah,
and not the ice that the Pope was blessing the other.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
We've had all kinds of ice, more ice than you
would believe.

Speaker 2 (01:41:03):
Well, you know, the Eskimos have something like thirty words
or something for snow, so we've got a lot of
different meanings for ice. Anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:41:09):
We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right
back making sense common again. You're listening to the David

(01:42:50):
Night Show.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
Well, I saw this line, and it's clickbait, but it
certainly worked for me. Scientist finds evidence of alien DNA
and humans, So what is this about? This is daily mail?
But you know, again, I look at this, and we
look at Genesis six and the Nephelim and the giants
and the mighty men of mythology and things like that,

(01:43:22):
and what I believe always thought it was genetic corruption.
Not that you've necessarily got these angels that are breeding
with humans, but I figured it was a genetic thing.
So let me take a look at that. But the
lead is kind of buried in this. They have this
sensationalism that they play around with and then they pull

(01:43:43):
it back at all this stuff, so there's nothing really here.
And they look at DNA, which really points to God,
and they will always try to redirect it to some
aliens and pretend that there's aliens that have not contacted
us even though they had created us in that type
of thing. That's what Krick and Watson did, who discovered
the DNA, they would not attribute it to the Word.

(01:44:06):
In the beginning, there was the word. The word was
with God, and the word was God. All things are
created through Him and by Him. But they will not
take that. Instead, they will imagine that there was some
pan spermia of aliens who went throughout the universe creating
this stuff. Well, the DNA points to God, the creator
of everything. All plants and all animals have DNA and them.

(01:44:29):
Scientists claim to have found evidence of alien genetic manipulation.
Not true. It's one scientist who's kind of a quack
with large sections of genes seemingly inserted into people, potentially
affecting millions of humans in the examination of five hundred
and eighty one complete families from a thousand genomes project.

(01:44:51):
This single scientist, doctor Max Rymple, and he's got his
chief executive of a foundation that he created called the
DNA Resonance Research And so he's kind of out there
on the radical.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
They have a vested interest in finding something like this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:10):
Huh. He says he found large sequences of DNA and
eleven families that appeared to match neither parent. These anomalies
included clusters of three hundred and forty eight non printal
genetic variations, some of which were from children born before
nineteen ninety, ruling out human gene editing technologies such as CRISPER,
which only emerged in twenty thirteen. He cautioned that his

(01:45:32):
findings are preliminary and require more rigorous analysis. Now they're
starting to walk it back already with this. In addition
to analyzing publicly available family DNA sets, Rymple reviewed twenty
three and meters results from individuals who self identify as
alien abductees. Rymple noted the current commercial genotyping services are

(01:45:55):
insufficiently precise to confirm such radical claims. So so he's
got no basis at all for this. You know, it's
insufficiently precise to confirm any of these radical claims. Extraordinary
claims demand extraordinary evidence.

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
I mean, science, academia general has a huge replicability crisis. Yeah,
the majority of studies cannot be replicated. They've gone in
and tried, just we don't get the same answers. I
don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
That's true about virology. It's also true about climate change.
All of that. He suggested the future studies might reveal
astonishing possibilities, including humans developing unusual abilities such as telepathy
as a result of genetic modification. This is all just
pure speculation. You know, in the future, we might find
some stile and they do a whole article about it.
It picks up a drudge report link and it works

(01:46:45):
because it was clickbait enough for me to click on it.

Speaker 5 (01:46:48):
Yeah, how do you get from oh, I can't find
these bits of DNA and our parents to this will
create telepathy and superpowers?

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
Right. Rymple emphasized the need for high quality, non culture
genetic data to avoid artifacts caused by cell culturing. He said,
most public DNA databases contain old data from cultured cells.
Culturing can produce genomic changes, so we cannot treat these
results as a proof. So you know, again, that's a

(01:47:20):
sensational headline is completely rebuffed by this. Rymple's work remains controversial.
He insists it's driven by genuine scientific curiosity, So it's
not driven by science, is driven by curiosity and speculation
and projection. So again, but seriously, this is something that

(01:47:42):
is happening here in the US. This is Colorado. The
US Supreme Court is going to listen to arguments today
on the case that I mentioned before. This is in
Colorado where you not only have the state government there
is focused on hectoring that baker over or making cakes
for homosexual marriages or a transversary cake for another individual.

(01:48:06):
He's taken them to the Supreme Court and won over
and over again. They still keep coming back after him.
It's like the UK cops who keep coming after that
woman who is praying silently and they keep arresting her.
This is nothing other than anti Christian harassment. This is
being done by Colorado. So the officials in Colorado have

(01:48:27):
multiple times demanded the authority to censor Christians in the state.
Have claimed that the counselor's speech is behavior and they
say they can regulate it. And again, I talked about
this last week I think it was or maybe two
weeks ago. This doesn't turn on whether or not the
counseling is speech or behavior, because whether you look at

(01:48:49):
it as a speech or whether you look at as behavior,
it is still an issue of the free exercise of religion,
which can be either speech or be behavior or both.
Their agenda is clear and the details of their fight.
They insist that no counselor can encourage a patient to
consider not being LGBT, but promotion of LGBT choices are

(01:49:12):
fully encouraged. So again you can see how political it is.
And these are the same people coming after the Masterpiece
cake Shop baker Jack Phillips, who has beaten them again
and again. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing her, they said.
She wants to help young people distressed about their gender
achieve their chosen goal and grow comfortable with their bodies
and avoid harmful drugs and procedures, but Colorado law forbids

(01:49:35):
her from doing so. The US government and twenty one states,
in addition to counseling groups, detransitioners, mental health researchers, and
free speech advocates and others, are supporting her arguments against
the State of Colorado at the Supreme Court. Those will
be heard today. The government has no business censoring private
conversations between clients and counselors, said the lawyer. There is

(01:50:00):
a growing consensus around the world but adult that adolescents
experiencing so called gender dysphoria need love and an opportunity
to talk through their struggles and their feelings. Colorado's law
harms these young people by depriving them of caring and
compassionate conversations with a counselor. He argues that the Colorado

(01:50:20):
law violates for freedom of speech, but also violates the
free exercise of religion because they point out, many of
the clients come to her because they share her Christian
worldview and her faith based values. Colorado law, however, censors
her from speaking words that her clients want to hear
because the government doesn't want to hear those views that

(01:50:41):
she expresses. Directors have called such counseling quote sorry not directors,
but detractors have called it conversion therapy because again, this
is a broad term that is aimed at Christians. But
the misnumber isn't accurate since the counseling actually involves helping
patients come to grips with their own reality. So you're

(01:51:04):
not converting them, except that conversion can clear up their heads.

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
Also, I'm maybe gonna be off base here, but my
entire life, I've grown up hearing the horrors of conversion therapy. Oh,
they used to do electro shock therapy. I would be
shocked if this wasn't massively overblown, I would be shocked personally.

Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
I would bet that there was They haven't done couple.

Speaker 3 (01:51:29):
Were there, and it has been run with and it
has been made to be the boogeyman over and over again. Yeah,
and I just flat out you're right at this point,
I barely believe it even happened. The more they talk
about it, the more I'm like, Eh, yeah, I was in.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
The dark ages of psychiatry. I guess yes.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Personally, I believe there was more truth to the Satanic
panic than there is to this, that there was more
to be concerned there.

Speaker 2 (01:51:52):
Well, you know, you did have a period of time
and that the Kennedy's actually did this to one of
their children. They did a frontal the botomy. So there
were some important things that were being done by psychiatrists
in the past still are when you look at the
SSR drugs and things like that. But that hasn't been
done for a very, very long time. So Colorado has
already lost in the third and eleventh Circuit courts. I'm

(01:52:13):
sorry not Colorado, but laws like this have been overturned
in the third eleventh Circuit courts. The state censorship plan
is based on viewpoint restrictions, and they expect that the
Supreme Court will therefore follow through on this for them.
Now we have actually well, our guess is going to

(01:52:34):
be joining us in about eight minutes. But before we
get to that, I want to talk a little bit
about what is happening in our society in terms of
how we get to this point where we have people
who are so afraid to speak up about what is
happening in their lives. And hang on, I'm trying to

(01:52:56):
manage this thing. Here, I'll get it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
And just one second, here we go eight technology, grand.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Yeah it is. I got locked in there. I got
to call for tex sapart and to help me find
this thing. Isis and Mozambique is documenting beheadings and shootings
of Christians and burning churches. Over thirty people beheaded and
they are bragging about that, boasting about it. The violence
has led to renewed security alliance between Mozambique and Rwanda.

(01:53:24):
Rwandan troops supporting Mozambique and counterinsurgency operations. Sixty two hundred
people slaughtered, over one million displaced. The Islamic state Mozambique
Province released a twenty image photo set this week documenting
its operatives executing civilians by beheading and by close range
gunfire and burning down homes and churches. They claimed responsibility

(01:53:46):
for several attacks throughout the last week of September. So
the article goes through and talks about how many people
they killed, how many homes they burned in one village
after the other. And yet at the same time, you
have one guy here, his name is Nilsen Makanda. He
says he wants to train two hundred thousand pastors to

(01:54:07):
meet Africa's evangelical boom. Isn't that interesting? How undeterred these
Christians are. Well, all this stuff is happening, and we're
not even talking about Nigeria, which is one of the
worst places. About that. But in Nigeria and these other places,
there's these massive terrorist campaigns of Christian persecution coming in
and mass murder of villages and burning their homes and

(01:54:30):
everything else. And yet in spite of that, you have
Christianity is booming in Africa, so much so that he says,
we've got a problem here. We've got to have, you know,
we need These people are setting up churches so much.
We need two hundred thousand pastors, he said. He said
the Gospel is preached by evangelicals provides hope to the poor, suffering, struggling,

(01:54:51):
and hopeful growing population of Africa. As people are transitioning
from the African traditional religion and that context and beginning
experience Christian faith and modern life. They're trapped still in sickness,
trapped in poverty, trapped in illiteracy, and trapped in the
issues of life. The Gospels preached by evangelicals provides great

(01:55:12):
hope for these people. He's looking at it though, really
he's more of a kind of a social Gospels, a
foundation of civilization as opposed to the salvation method message
that has there. But it really is the foundation of civilizations,
and it isn't These people are not putting their lives
on the line because it's going to improve the quality

(01:55:33):
of their life. I mean, that doesn't make any sense.
There's something else that's there. It's that faith, and that's
something else that is getting them to put their life
on the line. Otherwise, what is happening with this persecution
and slaughter is even though they may be poor, that
would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
So it's something else that is happening there. As birth

(01:55:55):
rates fall in the developed world, Africa, bulloyed by its
status of having the world's youngest population with a median
age of only nineteen, is expected to double in population
and reach two and a half billion. Maconda believes the
blessings of youth on the continent will keep fueling the
number of evangelicals on the continent, and this will happen

(01:56:16):
even though they're facing this horrific persecution. So there was
an interesting op ed piece from J. D. Hall that
I thought was an interesting pair with that story about
what these people are facing. He says a short word
on cowards and the God who damns them. He says,
if you ever heard a sermon on cowardice, well you're

(01:56:39):
about to, he said, Revelation twenty one. But the cowardly,
the unbelieving, the vile, the murder is, the sexually immoral,
those who practice magic arts, idolators, all liars will be
consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. A second deck,
he says. If we pile up the sins of the

(01:57:00):
modern church like logs on a fire cowardice would be
the unseen tender at the bottom of it, being like
the tumbleweeds. Revelation twenty one does not treat cowardice as
a minor fault. It lists the cowardly along with sorcerers, adulters, liars,
and murderers and so forth. Again, because what is cowardice

(01:57:21):
It is fear right. And this fits very well with
our interview coming up about FDR, because FDR is famous
for his quote, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
And yet, like most political leaders, he used that fear
to cow people into following him. In most churches today,
you'll never hear a single sermon on cowardice. Pastors will

(01:57:41):
scold congregations about pride, they'll offer vague warnings about greed,
or they'll deliver soothing talks about gratitude. They'll never tell
their people that cowardice leads to hell. Cowardice is not
nervousness before a hard task. It's not anxiety in a
moment of weakness. Cowardice is fear and thrown owned as God.

(01:58:01):
When Peter swore that he didn't know Christ before a
servant girl, that was cowardice. When the ten spies returned
from Canaan and infacted the whole camp with fear. That
was cowardice. God does not overlook such actions. He calls
it rebellion. Cowardice is never private. It is a social disease.

(01:58:23):
With fewer men than risk, one coward spreading panic throughout
the ranks. Many people would have that fear may be natural,
But cowardice is toxic, and it spreads, and it contaminates
everyone that it touches. The same pattern repeats in every generation.
One pastor who refuses to speak boldly convinces hundreds of

(01:58:44):
fathers to avoid confrontation in their own home. One father
afraid to lead teaches his son that silence is safe.
One politician who bends before cultural pressure gives cover to
an army of bureaucrats who do the same. A coward
is never just one. A coward becomes a factory of cowards.

(01:59:05):
His retreat makes others think retreat is righteousness. His silence
makes others believe silence is wisdom. Cowardice explains why pulpits
roar against injustice and vague terms, but rarely talk about
abortion as child sacrifice. A cowardice explains why pastors insist

(01:59:25):
all loving on loving all families, but never call homosexuality
a sin. So it's more common in this age. And
this is the contrast here. It's more common in this
age because here we don't have much risk. It's not
like the Christians in Africa. We are not trying desperately

(01:59:45):
trying to work out a way to survive. We have comfort,
We have affluence. So in the past, if you were timid,
you could starve, or you could be conquered, or you
could be killed. Today a man can spend his life
in and order everything he needs delivered to his door.
You can avoid all danger, and a safe life breeds

(02:00:06):
soft men, and soft men become cowards when they are
finally confronted with a test. This is one of the
aspects of the fourth turning. That is, you have a
generation like the World War II generation, and there were
hard men, but then the subsequent generations get softer and softer,
and the institutions start to rot because of softness and cowardice,

(02:00:29):
and then you have another fourth turning, and so it
goes through that cycle and it is bred by comfort.
Cowardice is common in this age because of comfort, and
we've made a god out of comfort. Today, we expect
to ease convenience and safety. When comfort is idolized, courage
becomes unthinkable. Cowardice is more common in this age because

(02:00:49):
technology actually enables it. It's more common in this age
because leaders have abandoned courage. In past centuries, a boy
grew up of models of brave soldiers, fathers, statesmen who
bore scars from real battles. A culture with cowardly leaders
produces cowardly followers. It's more common in this age because
the church itself has been infected. Instead of raising men

(02:01:12):
to stand and they're training men to yield. And so
that's the point that I wanted to go through with this.
It robs God of his honor. It robs us of
our independence and of our liberty. Right. That's why people
like Jefferson said that you would prefer dangerous liberty to

(02:01:33):
the safety and comfort of slavery. So we're going to
take a quick break and we come back. We're going
to talk to an author about his new book. It's
called FDR A Political Wife. It said, an excellent book.
I haven't read the entire book, i admit, but I've
read parts of it. I didn't have enough time to read.
I just got it as a PDF. But the parts

(02:01:54):
that I've read are stellar, and he's got some stellar
reviews some people that I really respect, like Jim Bovart
and this, and so they've written some comments and the forward.
But I think that it's a very important story for
today because FDR was, of all things, a fourth turning President.
He was somebody that was there a society was being

(02:02:15):
reorganized and he moved it and a lot of the
same directions that we're starting to see today. So there's
a lot of parallels and to what is happening today.
So we're going to take a quick break and we'll
be right back with our guest, who's the author of
this new book on FDR, which is really a book
for our time as well as a treasure chest for
anybody who's interested in history. Will be right.

Speaker 1 (02:02:37):
Back defending the American Dream. You're listening to the David

(02:05:21):
Knight Show.

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
Welcome back, and I want to begin with a couple
of statements from people that about this book. The book
is FDR A New Political Life. The author is David Beto,
and this first one that's here is from Hillsdale College.
It's Burton fulsome. He says the book FDR A New
Political Life is the most illuminating one volume history of

(02:05:48):
FDR ever written. American historians have come to recognize that
Roosevelt's New Deal did not end the Great Depression, but
prolonged it. David Beto carefully explains why so many DR
programs and power grabs were so counterproductive. To go from
the older FDR histories to David Beto's wonderful new work

(02:06:08):
is to make a historic leak from the dark ages. Also,
another author, David mccalis, says, when it comes to race
and Western influence, FDR's vision of the world order was
muddled by delusional phenomenon. He was not a man of
empire or genocide, like his wartime allies Churchill and Stalin,

(02:06:28):
but he was a dreadfully old fashioned Victorian quack, an
amateur phrenologist who believed that repopulating the Pacific rim with
certain choice cross breeding would create a better world for all.
David Beto takes us further than his predecessors along the
breadcrumb path into Franklin Roosevelt's thick forested interior, and again

(02:06:50):
many wonderful stellar reviews and I got to say, even
though I wasn't able to read the entire book, when
I read of it really does match with this. I'll
give you one more. This is from Jim bow Art,
who we've interviewed on the show many times. He said.
Historian David Beto, who previously exposed how President Franklin Roosevelt
ravaged americans constitutional rights, is back with a new book

(02:07:13):
vividly exposing his personal perfidy from the dawn of Woodrow
Wilson administration to nineteen forty five, the betrayal at Yalta
and beyond. With volleys of research, Beto demolishes Roosevelt's reputation
as one of the quote unquote great presidents. And so
I look at FDR like Lincoln. These are presidents who

(02:07:35):
come in at a time of great societal upheaval and
change and war, and they have an active role in
redefining our society. I think we're in a time like
that right now. This is a guy who ran as
a peace candidate but then turned to war. He was
there at the center of the fight between gold and
fiat currency. He was preside over a rapid expansion of

(02:07:59):
life and federal government with very creative excuses to override
the constitution Institute of surveillance, and there was a free
speech revolt against him. He also weaponized the FCC, and
we can see, you know, we've talked about what was
going on with the FCC. We pointed out that why
should broadcast media have its content controlled when they don't

(02:08:22):
control the press. Well you can look to FDR for that.
So joining us now is David Beato. Thank you so
much for joining us. This excellent book here that you have.

Speaker 6 (02:08:31):
Thank you so much. You know, it's the goodest thing
you were. You brought up the I mean, if you
don't mind, go ahead on the FCC issue, and it
brought to mind the contrast between FDR and Trump. You know,
Trump makes these wild threats about the involving the FCC.
He goes public with it. He tries to get Jimmy

(02:08:52):
Kimmel off the air, which really wasn't worth the effort, frankly,
and he succeeds short term, but now can Mullia's back
on the air. So Trump looks silly. What FDR did
is he did it behind the scenes. He did it carefully.
He would never make a public statement like that. He
went to the sponsors of For example, there was a

(02:09:14):
leading anti New Deal radio commentator called named Boke Harder
in nineteen thirty eight, one of the top rated commentators
in the country on CBS. And so howd Roosevelt get
him off the air? He opening an IRS investigation, an
immigration investigation because Carter was from Canada. And then finally

(02:09:35):
he went to the executives. He went to the sponsors,
including Marjorie Merriweather Post sold at least she was the
original owner of mar A Lago, and she used her
influence and Carter was forced off the air, and by
the end of nineteen thirty eight, all anti New Deal

(02:09:58):
commentators on the main networks were off the air. And
despite the fact that most newspapers were hostile to FDR,
he did it all quietly. He did it all behind
the scenes with a scalpel where you know, Trump used
the blunt edge of the sword. And maybe many ways
we should be thankful for that. Yeah, the Trump is

(02:10:20):
like a bull in a china shop. So often and
sometimes when he doesn't need to get his way, he
doesn't get his way because he's so I don't know,
obvious about it.

Speaker 2 (02:10:30):
Yeah, maybe his real thing is more about getting Americans
divided and fighting each other than it is about the
actual reform. But what FDR did is something that we've
seen a pattern of people in government typically doing, and
that is working behind the scenes, quietly sending out messages
to make sure that this group or that group has
shadow banned or canceled. And you can use your own

(02:10:55):
judgment in terms of doing this, because you're a private
corporation and you can do that. But of course he
kind of did that with in terms of telegrams and
things like that before, not the social media side, of course,
but actual physical telegrams. FDR had his involvement with that
as well. And they see the early trends of the
surveillance states. The technology has changed, but the nature of

(02:11:18):
men in power hasn't really changed that much. Talk a
little bit about the Black Inquisition and things that were
involved in that.

Speaker 6 (02:11:25):
Okay, Well, the Black Committee was a Senate committee was
headed by Senator HUGO. Black, who later ended up on
the US Supreme Court despite his clan background, and Black
was an attack dog for the New Deal. He was

(02:11:45):
really Roosevelt's main ally, I would say, in the in
the Congress. He was the to go to Guy Well.
Roosevelt wanted an investigation of anti New Deal organizations and
Black was more than happy to cooperate in this. So
Black would call these witnesses and they would, you know,

(02:12:06):
sometimes successfully hold him off, and he would bring in
leading anti New Deal figures. And so Black got the
bright idea, or someone got the bright idea, well, why
don't I get their private telegrams? Telegrams were the emails
texts of the time. They were over half of long
distance communication. People would say things and telegrams that they

(02:12:28):
wouldn't say in letters, but they would say now in
an email or a text, and there were thousands of them.
They were instantaneous, virtually instantaneous. So Black goes to Western
Union and the other telegraph companies and said, I want
copies of all telegrams sent to and from members of Congress,

(02:12:53):
and he had other people as well, for like a
six months period. And Western Union's response was, are you kidding?
You know, our customers would would hate that. And Black
goes to the FCC gets approval, and of course the
FDR would have had a hand in this, although again
he didn't really have to order Black to do anything

(02:13:14):
because Black was serving the new deal and got FCC approval.
So again it's because telegraph companies were ordered to provide
That was one example. All it's, you know, millions of telegrams.
But then they expanded Black expanded the investigation to include
other cities, targeted individuals, and so forth. So he went

(02:13:37):
in there with his staffers into Western Union, and they
had to keep copies of of the of telegrams, right,
that was sort of part of their requirement. And he's
they got big. That was a government, that was a
government first went through them.

Speaker 2 (02:13:52):
Sorry, that was a government requirement to keep the copies
in the first place.

Speaker 6 (02:13:55):
Yes, yeah, well I think the telegraph companies probably maybe
would have kept their own copies anyway, I don't know.
But they were required to keep copies of all telegrams
and they went through millions. And I couldn't believe this
when I saw, but yes, that was true. They went
through about ten thousand a day over a very long
period of time. And the committee staffers had instructions to

(02:14:20):
don't look at anything of a personal nature, just to
look at material related to lobbying. What would be lobbying, Well,
the committee had a specific definition indirect or direct lobbying.
Indirect lobbying would be any attempt to influence public opinion,
So our conversation would be an example of that. So

(02:14:41):
any attempt to influence public opinion would be considered lobbying.
So they went through copied selectively, and they would ambush
witnesses because this was all secret. None of the witnesses
knew they were doing this. None of them knew, and
eventually came out because Western Union informed starting to inform

(02:15:03):
people who were being targeted, and one of them sued
very prominent law firm in Chicago. Still there, Silas Strawn
was his name, and Strawn was a heavyweight and in
one in federal district court. By by that time, Black
had done his damage and he said, well, we're done
with our investigation. However, this was a very good precedent

(02:15:27):
for the future. Now, of course Black could use the
telegrams that he'd gotten his illegal booty, but he couldn't
do any more of this kind of search, nor could
official future congressional committees.

Speaker 2 (02:15:40):
Did they use important.

Speaker 6 (02:15:41):
Precedent, but it's not very well known. He as a
federal court judge.

Speaker 2 (02:15:45):
Yeah, we usually think about, you know, what's going on
with Faiza and everything. And you know that came after
World War Two because with the creation of the CIA
and NSA, they started getting information from the phone company
being pen information, who did they call, and that type
of thing which they could infer a lot from. But

(02:16:07):
actually this predates all of that. Were they using this,
as you said, they were questioning people. Did they use
this information as a perjury trap for people? Yeah, I
asked them a question that they are new to answer to.

Speaker 6 (02:16:20):
I suspect that that kind of thing went on. I
haven't come across it. I have reason to believe from
just reading some of Roosevelt's comments that he was you know,
this information was shared with him, but I can't prove it,
but I think it was used for all sorts of

(02:16:42):
the various reasons. See, historians have kind of looked in
the wrong place. They've looked at people like jag or
Hoover COO. Again, there's a lot of things he did too,
but the mass surveillance, this is a better example of
mass surveillance. But people even looked at it. In fact,
I hadn't even heard of the Black Many till about
twelve years ago when I was doing research and I

(02:17:04):
came across to I said, what's this thing, the Black Committee?
What's that? Is that describing the nature of the committee? Yeah,
it was the Senate Committee. It was forgotten, not by
a lot of conservatives, though conservatives would be bringing up
in the nineteen fifties, and that's part of the reason
why McCarthyism came about, because they were pissed and they thought, well,

(02:17:26):
you guys are now complaining about civil liberties, what about
the Black Committee?

Speaker 2 (02:17:30):
And that's a parallel to today as well, isn't it.
You know, when you're suffering injustice like that, you feel
entitled to propagate it against your enemies again. You know, so, wait,
you guys did so what about that? Let's do it again.
I love the title that you got trials.

Speaker 6 (02:17:45):
Probably Trump's going to do sedition trials. I was, yes, right,
the same thing that Jay six people were convicted of.
Stupid law that should have been repealed exactly or at
least severely limited.

Speaker 2 (02:17:58):
I like the way that you've got to hear in
the in the in your book, the Black Inquisition. You
know that that really does get your attention as you're
looking at it. It's like it was like, oh, okay,
you go critics, Yeah, the Black Inquisition, and then there
was a pushback against that. Part of it was William
Randolph Hurst was of course targeted that because I guess
I could say, well, anything that he says is going

(02:18:19):
to be influencing public opinion, obviously, so let's get all
of his telegrams. And so he actually you have a
chapter here of the Right and the Left Free Speech Coalition.
So there's a pushback with that. He joined with the
ACLU left as William randolph Hurst pushing back, tell us
little bit about that.

Speaker 6 (02:18:37):
Yeah, well, the Black Committee had gotten a treasure trove
of Hearst related telegrams, but they they did a very
stupid thing. They did a public subpoena. None of this
was subpoena, by the way, but they did a public
subpoena of one and only one telegram that they probably

(02:18:57):
already had. And the telegram was where Hearst was accusing
this prominent member of Congress, the committee chair, of being
in league with the communists. It was kind of a
hyperbolic telegram. And I guess what the Black Committee, what
Black thought was, people just see that as so over
the top, this will be good pr for us. But

(02:19:19):
instead what happened is other members of Congress, like you know,
a guy named McCormack who was future Speaker of the House,
a guy named Emmanuel Seller. These are New dealers, they say,
this is uncalled for, this is this is the tactics
of Mussolini. So it actually backfired on Roosevelt. Even many

(02:19:40):
of his own New deal supporters were against this. And
this is this is very interesting and very discouraging in
some ways because during this period you had a lot
of civil libertarians who on the left who were willing,
even though they liked Roosevelt, who were willing to push

(02:20:01):
back against him. And that is not as true today.
Maybe that will change now, but it's not what it
certainly hasn't been true today.

Speaker 2 (02:20:13):
Well, today there's so much more partisan in tribal and
we don't seem to care about principles. We don't seem
to care about the rule of law. And that's true
on both sides, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (02:20:21):
Well, yeah, it's the people at the time. Give you
a sense of the difference. Hl Mankin was in your
face kind of anti New dealer, simil libertarian. You know,
I don't know, agnostic. He only needed everybody, but who
was friends with everybody. He had correspondence that span the
political spectrum. He was respected, he was liked as an
individual could talk to people. I don't think there are

(02:20:44):
as many people who fit in that category today.

Speaker 2 (02:20:48):
That's right. Yeah, he was real clever wit and I
mentioned frequently his thing. A year ago, if I had
a gold coin and a flask of whiskey, the whiskey
was illegal on the coin was legal. This year, the
gold coin is illegal and the Flasco whiskey is legal.
So yeah, he was always he was always pointing out
the absurdity of FDR. Yeah. So, I think one of

(02:21:10):
the very telling things about FDR was the war and
peace issue. And you've got in here part of his speech,
which truly is amazing, that he makes when he's running
as a candidate as a peace candidate. He says, I've
seen war. I've seen war on land and sea. I
have seen blood running from the wounded. I've seen men

(02:21:32):
coughing out their gas lungs. I've seen the dead and
the mud. I've seen cities destroyed. I've seen two hundred limping,
exhausted men come out of the survivors of the regiment
of one thousand that went forward forty eight hours before.
I have seen children starving, I've seen the agony of
mothers and wives. I hate war, and you're write And

(02:21:54):
as he so often did, FDR exaggerated his exposure to
the fighting in World War One was limited and sanitized.
While the Navy had sent him on a guided inspection
of American naval and marine bases in Europe. The main
impression conveyed by his contemporary contemporaneous diary account was that

(02:22:15):
of a sightseer. So talk a little bit about that,
how he ran as a peace candidate and then he
flipped pushing us into war.

Speaker 6 (02:22:25):
Well, FGR was playing both sides of the street. For example,
in the nineteen thirties, he'd been the guy that suggests, well,
maybe we need neutrality laws, and then later he pushed
for repeal of the Neutrality Act, saying I wish I'd
never signed it. Never mentioned that he was the guy

(02:22:48):
that helped to inspire it in the first place. So
he was a rabid interventionist when he was Assistant Secretary
of the Navy under Wilson, constantly trying to imitate his
cousin Theodore and get some sort of incident, possibly so

(02:23:09):
he was a hawk, but then in the thirties he
sort of realizes there's all this anti war feeling and
he appeals to that. He actually applauds the Munich Agreement.
But then after that he becomes much more of an
interventionist and certainly aligns himself with Winston Churchill and so forth.

(02:23:35):
But a lot of this is done quietly, so he's
sort of playing both sides of the street, and he
is in trouble. In the nineteen forty election, his opponent,
Wendell Wilkie, who was kind of an interventionist too, but
starts talking like in America Firster during the last part
of the campaign, is making inroads. So FDR is worried

(02:23:57):
about this, so very shortly before the election he gives
this speech he'd never given a speech this strong, where
he says, I've said this before, and I'll say it
again and again and again. Your boys are not going
to be sent into any foreign war, full stop. Right.

(02:24:18):
And Wenda Wilkee heard that on the radio and he
said that hypocritical son of some of a bitches just
lost me the election. And whether or not that was
true or not, FDR was that was a clear motivation.
His son went up to him and said, Dad, why
did you say that. You never said anything like that before,
And he said, basically, well, I had to win, you know,

(02:24:41):
for the good of the country, that kind of thing.
So just amoral and amoral figure, maybe worse in so
many ways, a very cynical, jaded man, I think, who
had great charm, Yes, but I never really cared for him.
I'm going to confess. Did you ever see that movie

(02:25:02):
Sunrise at Campobello?

Speaker 2 (02:25:04):
No? I never saw that.

Speaker 6 (02:25:05):
Oh it was a movie made in the fifties starring
Ralph Bellamy playing FDR in his battle against polio, and
I just you know, Bellamy captured FDR in some ways.
It was supposed to be a sympathetic portrayal, but there
was just this charm which always seemed a little bit
phony to me. Yeah, and and very calculating but very effective.

Speaker 2 (02:25:30):
Yeah, he seemed he seemed that way to me as well.
But I always kind of just dismissed that. As you know,
when you look at movies at the time, you know,
people came across as very stiff and pretentious and you know,
putting on airs and that that's kind of the way
that a lot of people would come across, even in
the movies at that time, they wouldn't come across as
you know, genuine or and so I kind of just

(02:25:53):
put it up to the zeitgeist of the time, if
you will. But yeah, it's interesting. And you begin with
his rise to power. Talk a little bit about that
where did this guy come from?

Speaker 6 (02:26:04):
He had a big advantage, and that he was born
into comfortable circumstances, not super wealth, but but wealth. He
was a distant cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, and very distant,
like seventh cousin, but the family had context with each

(02:26:24):
other and so forth. And he went he did. He
did the typical trajectory of someone in that class. He
went to Groton, a very exclusive private school, and he
went to Harvard. He got a Columbia his law degree
from Columbia. He had very mediocre grades. He was not

(02:26:46):
a good student, but he was a glad hander. People
liked him. He made his impact socially. And then it
was some people approached him and said, mister Roosevelt, we'd
like you to run for Congress, or not for Congress,
for a state legislature in New York. You know, Theodore
was president at the time, they happened to be Democrats.

(02:27:08):
I guess they thought that that was a brilliant move.
Now I say that if the Republicans had approached Franklin,
he probably would have run as a Republican. In fact,
he had supported his cousin very openly. When his cousin
ran for re election, it was his first vote was
for Theodore. But the Democrats asked him it was a
good Democratic year, nineteen oh eight, so he ran as

(02:27:30):
a Democrat and he was able to win. And from
there he just impressed people. He got the attention of
a guy named Josephus Daniels who was Secretary of the Navy.
Quite a racist, Southern racist type. But Daniels was charmed
by Roosevelt. He had a very apt comment. He said

(02:27:52):
he was just like an actress. He had that he
had it right, and someone had said the case of
love at first sight. You know, when Daniel sawhim, and
I don't think anything went on, but he made him
assistant Secretary of Navy, and from there Roosevelt was imitating

(02:28:14):
his cousin, either intentionally or by chance. Theodore had been
in the legislature. Theodore had been assistant secretary of the Navy,
and then Theodore was vice presidential candidate as Roosevelt was
in nineteen twenty, so the very similarity. A lot of
parallels between them. One difference, though Franklin did not volunteer

(02:28:37):
to fight in World War One, he was in his
late thirties, he could have his cousin. Theodore said, you
have to get into the infantry, not just the Navy.
You have to get into the infantry. You have to
get in the fight. And Roosevelt came back and said, well,
my boss thinks I'm essential, And maybe his boss did
say that, but Theodore had had sim you know, a

(02:28:59):
similar he didn't have to go in. But Franklin was
not the man. The Theodore was right, and so he
did not. He did not serve in the military.

Speaker 2 (02:29:10):
So at that point he was able bodied. At that
point he was able bodied and could have.

Speaker 6 (02:29:14):
Yeah, that was before his bout of polio, which was
nineteen how old was right here in nineteen twenty one.

Speaker 2 (02:29:21):
So it was about how old when that happened.

Speaker 6 (02:29:24):
He was about thirty nine, quite a young man. And
the story there's an interesting story there. Now a lot
of people said, can't you say something good about Roosevelt,
I will say that, you know, he showed great determination.
Of course, he had a lot of he had a
lot of help, He had a lot of doctors, he

(02:29:46):
had a lot of you know, leisure time, He had
a lot of support. But he showed great courage and
overcoming that. Part of the story that I was surprised
by is who did he blame for the polio? He
blamed a Republican center. And the story on this is
really fascinating. I begin my book with it. There was
an investigation, well, there was something called the Newport scandal,

(02:30:08):
the Newport sex scandal. Do you recall reading that?

Speaker 2 (02:30:12):
Yeah, no, I skipped over to the black Inquisition stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:30:18):
What happened was Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
and there was a guy at one of the naval
book bases in Newport who was investigating whether there were
same sex relationships going on in the navy. Thought this was,
you know, a major scandal, and so forth, and even
did his own private investigations where this guy would find

(02:30:40):
people to go in and they would actually have sex
right with these men, right to try to entrap them.
So Roosevelt found out about this. The investigation was basically
had no funding. The Secretary of War had refused to
back it, I mean, the Attorney General refused to back it,
and Roosevelt stepped in single handedly and set up a

(02:31:04):
investigative unit headed by him called Section A in the
Department of Navy, which investigated this issue of same sex
relationships in the Navy. And they would send out investigators
who again would entrap people by having sex with them,
and Roosevelt, I think quite clearly knew what was going on.

(02:31:30):
A local journalist in Newport pushed back on this and
accused Roosevelt of doing this, and Roosevelt basically responded said, well,
you know, you know, isn't it important, you know, to
find what's going on here? Why are we so worried

(02:31:51):
about procedure? And it was actually controversially you would think
this period is very anti gain was, but people in
Congress and the press thought this was abhorrent. These tactics
were beyond the pale, and.

Speaker 2 (02:32:05):
So that's one of the things that we've lost.

Speaker 6 (02:32:07):
He did his best to cover it up, and it weakened.
It puts so much tension on him that he said
that it had lowered his resistance and made him more
susceptible to the outbreak of polio, which may have been
true actually because it was a lot of us contaminated water.
But again, if your immunity, you know, if you had

(02:32:29):
lower resistance and so forth. So he blamed this senator
till his dying day for causing his his polio.

Speaker 2 (02:32:36):
Well, you know what you're talking about, that.

Speaker 6 (02:32:38):
Coort investigation which almost derailed his career, almost destroyed him,
and he was lucky.

Speaker 2 (02:32:44):
It's the tactic that's involved there, and people don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:32:47):
Everybody did. And you would think this would be a
period where they would say, al, they're gay, we need
to root them out. And they may have thought that,
but this is beyond the pail. And of course these
people that had been destroyed, many and them were innocent.
You know, they didn't get any benefits, right, military funerals.
They were destroyed. And Roosevelt is able to ride through it,

(02:33:12):
partly because other things go on the divert public attention.
But the New York Times, as a matter of fact,
has a big story where it calls his behavior. They
blame him for it. The Times blames him in this
article and basically, you know, comes a conclusion he's unfit
for office, but he's able to escape this somehow because

(02:33:36):
of other things going on, and it's forgotten and most
people today don't even know about it, but it's quite
an important it's quite an important story in his life.

Speaker 2 (02:33:46):
Well, it reveals his character, which we then saw later
when he's coming after politically.

Speaker 6 (02:33:51):
And Roosevelt was quite clear that he wasn't worried about
the means. It was the end yet something done. This
is a view towards civil liberties. These people need to
be shut up. I think some way to shut them up.
That was a real harm Massger.

Speaker 2 (02:34:06):
That's a real hallmark of everything that he did. You know,
he doesn't care.

Speaker 6 (02:34:09):
I think he was always kind of a default interventionist,
and I think a lot, you know. I mean, I
think he did have an ideology, and I think he
had been a Wilsonian interventionist. He was a great admirer
of Wilson, right. He defended Wilson when he ran for
president nineteen twenty, even though much of the public was
sick of Wilson. He defended the worst aspect, the most

(02:34:31):
repressive aspects of Wilsonianism. So I think that was a
default position. That's the best way I could explain it.
I think the relationship with Churchill made a difference, but
I think you see even signs of that before that
where he's trying to do it. His focus is on

(02:34:51):
the North Atlantic. By nineteen forty one, he is desperately
trying to provoke an incident, yes, in the North Atlantic,
and he builds up minor incidents or you know, into
cause celebs and is trying to get into the war.
Clear he wants to do that by nineteen forty one

(02:35:13):
by any means that he can, but the public is
hostile to the idea. Well werewhelmingly the public is you know,
does not want to get in another form war. They
remember World War One, they do not want to do
that again. But he's able to get aid to Britain
to lend the lease, which was very open ended, but

(02:35:34):
again selling this is well, of course we won't have
to go in, you know, we can help the British, right,
give them the tools and they will finish the fight,
as he pleased to say, and that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (02:35:49):
But kind of where we are right now with Ukraine. Right,
kind of where we are right now with Ukraine, I guess, yeah, exactly, yeah,
we can just give him the weapons and we won't
really get involved. But the Germans aren't taking the bait
to the extent that he wants them to. So he
kind of shifts to the Pacific right, and there's massive
sanctions against the Japanese that preceded Pearl Harbor. And of course,

(02:36:14):
what do you have about Pearl Harbor? What's your take
on Pearl Harbor? Did he engineer that to and keep
things secret there in a kind of subversive way? What
what is your opinion?

Speaker 6 (02:36:26):
Yeah, again, he is he his focus is to the
North Atlantic, but he eventually comes to the conclusion, well,
you know, if we're going to go to war Japan,
that's fine with me, and you know, maybe we can
get into the European War as well. I don't think
I think that that's part of what he's he's pushing.

(02:36:47):
And really, since you know he there were opportunities to
to h to have peace agreement with Japan. The Japanese
Prime Minister offers to meet with Roosevelt in the Middle
Pacific to have a summit. So let's hash this out.
Roosevelt doesn't take the opportunity. At one point, the Japanese

(02:37:08):
actually say that they were willing to evacuate China. He
doesn't take the opportunity, so he's he's there's sort of
a distraction. Now, okay, Pearl Harbor. Did Roosevelt know about it?
I don't think he did. And my argument for that is,
I think the best evidence is that they did know

(02:37:28):
that Japanese would attack. They thought the attack would probably
be somewhere like the Philippines, maybe in you know, Singapore,
somewhere like that. They did not think it would be
Pearl Harbor. Very few people thought that. Almost nobody thought that.
And part of the reason they didn't think that is
they they didn't think the Japanese were capable. They didn't

(02:37:50):
think they were good pilots. They didn't think that they
could they could pull something out like that. And even
the commanders on the ground, and Roosevelt did short change
short and Kimmel. There at the Pacific, they wanted observation planes,
but Roosevelt diverted all resources to the North Atlantic. They wanted,

(02:38:11):
you know, they if they had had those observation planes,
for example, it might have made all the difference. He
shortchanged them. But even they thought that the main danger
from the Japanese was sabotage. That's one of the reasons
why they put the planes in the middle of the field.
In many cases it made the more vulnerable to attack,
but theoretically less vulnerable to sabotage. So what is Roosevelt's

(02:38:36):
first reaction after the attack, Well, it's from a butler
who saw him, and Roosevelt's response was, I will go
down in disgrace. He thinks, my god, I didn't expect this.
I'm going to be in trouble because of this. So

(02:38:57):
I don't think I don't think they knew that the
attack was going to be at Pearl Harbor, partly because
they underestimated the Japanese. I think Roosevelt was reckless harbor
that he knew an attack was going to come, don't
I think he could have done much more to Warren
naval commanders throughout the Pacific than an attack was going

(02:39:18):
to come. There were clues that it could have come
at Pearl Harbor, naming the time of day. They didn't
know the time of the day when the Japanese were
going to just in the embassy had been ordered American
Embassy to destroy their codes, and that was at seven
thirty am, which would have been a very good time
for an attack on Pearl Harbor, and they didn't put

(02:39:38):
two and two together. So I think it's more in competence.
But I don't buy the theory that has been put
forward by people like Stinnett, who makes this argument that
you know that we knew that the Japanese fleet was
on the way and so forth. I don't see the

(02:39:59):
evidence that we did break one of the codes, but
we didn't break the crucial you know, naval code, broke
the diplomatic code, so we knew a lot of was
going on. Roosevelt knew a lot about it. He was
reading a lot of Japanese mail, and maybe they could
have put two and two together, But I think it
was sort of racism in some sense. They just didn't
think the Japanese could pull something like this off.

Speaker 2 (02:40:23):
You know, they found out, didn't they. Well, talk a
little bit about you that.

Speaker 6 (02:40:27):
Issue, and I'd be happy to talk with people about it,
But I don't buy that that he knew sure that
it was going to happen at Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 2 (02:40:35):
Sure well talk about fear and emergency here.

Speaker 6 (02:40:38):
Saying okay, Well, when Roosevelt ran in nineteen forty nineteen
thirty two, he pledged to maintain sound money. Now I
didn't exactly say well gold, but who were didn't either.
But he also gave a speech right before the election
called a little known speech called the Covenant Speech, where
he would talk about, you know, gold contracts, the covenant. Right,

(02:41:02):
he said he would hold the covenant, you know, basically,
I will uphold you know, the use of gold. Right. Then,
very shortly after the election, he makes a decision to
go off the gold standard. He calls in his secretary
of the Treasury. He was much more actually Secretary of State.
It was much more conservative than him on financial issues,

(02:41:25):
Cordell Hall. And he says, Cordell, congratulate, and you were
going off the gold standard tomorrow. And he pulls out
some money and it was a money that was issued
by the whatever, the Federal Reserve Bank of Tennessee. I guess.
He said, this is from Tennessee, your own state, Cordell.
And what makes this money good? It's only good because

(02:41:46):
we say it's good. And again that is what he did.
And he does a lot of crazy things after that.
He does a program to purchase gold, and he sets
the well, no, not to purchase gold, but to set
the price of gold. So he say, is this gold
buying program? And how does he determine the price? He

(02:42:10):
determines it from things like he says, well, I think
the price should be nineteen cents today because it's a
lucky number. You know. He would say things like that.
And Roosevelt was very superstitious. He had lucky shoes, he
had lucky hats. So this is this is not as
strange as you might seem. And it was just it

(02:42:32):
was just a crazy, crazy town. But what saved us
in terms of financially in the thirties was we had
massive gold imports from both Europe and the Soviet Union.
Your people are taking their gold for obvious reasons out
of those places and bringing into the United States. So
we have a tremendous gold inflow to the United States

(02:42:54):
through those sort of happy not happy, tragic accidents. I
guess you could say all from Russia and from Castalin
is buying a lot of American goods using gold. That's
part of it. And of course the gold is coming
in from Germany because Jews and others are taking their
taking their gold out.

Speaker 2 (02:43:16):
Yeah, it's interesting, you know, when you when you look
at how he was reacting, how he had his lucky
shoes and all the rest of the stuff, and how
arbitrary things were. That sounds very familiar to the disturbing
Why doesn't it, you know, kind of erratic and arbitrary,
capricious what he's doing with these things. We're starting to
see at yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:43:36):
Parallels with Trump, but they are big differences too. Yeah,
but you know, I think there are there there there,
there's there's some parallels that you control.

Speaker 2 (02:43:48):
So talk a little bit about the end of prohibition.
That's that's one of the things that everybody, you know,
happy days is here again. How much of that wash
did he build that up for his his campaign and
how much of that was really an initiative of his
or was it just that people had had it with
alcohol prohibition at that point he got ahead of that?

(02:44:08):
Was he was he opposed on that by the Republicans
or what was the situation with the prohibition?

Speaker 6 (02:44:15):
And I don't discuss prohibition a lot, but Roosevelt was
a straddler. He wasn't going to take controversial positions. He
was also a straddler on trade issues and teriff issues,
so he was not a leader of the anti Prohibition forces.
There were Democrats who were the more conservative. Democrats interestingly

(02:44:35):
tended to be the more anti prohibition, and there was
a big element in the party and people were sick
and tired of the Prohibition lass by nineteen thirty two,
the Republicans chose to kind of avoid the issue. So
Roosevelt and getting the nomination, it certainly was a popular position,

(02:44:58):
but he also recognized that this is this is a
popular position, and he came out for repeal of the
Constitutional Amendment bringing in prohibition. He took a very strong stand.
I think there were other motivations, though. One was it's
a great tax source. And as a matter of fact,

(02:45:20):
during the early deal, even though they're talking about income taxes,
most of the tax collections are from excise taxes people
like things like cosmetics, cigarettes, alcohol. That's where the bulk
of the revenue is raised. So Roosevelt is raising the
tax top rate to I don't know eventually it gets

(02:45:44):
so well over ninety percent, but it's going way way up.
He makes a big deal about this, but that means
that the wealth they find ways to find tax shelters,
they don't pay it. So where does the actual money
comes It comes from the nickels and dimes and people
going to movie a tax on movie tickets. It comes
from the nickels and dimes of working class people. But

(02:46:05):
Roosevelt is very clever and never acknowledging that. And of
course the excise taxes on liquor as well. Yeah, it's
always i think is maybe in the back of his
mind too, and he uses that revenue source in a
major way.

Speaker 2 (02:46:19):
It's always soaked the rich and then it's always the
poor middle class to pay all the taxes. That's that's
another thing than never seen example of that. Yeah, yes,
another thing never stops. And of course the revenuers, you know,
that's what they called the people that were coming after
the stills in the mountains and everything, because that was
really what they wanted. They wanted the money that was there.

(02:46:40):
So talk a little bit about the Supreme Court packing
issue as well, and his fight to essentially just completely
rewrite the constitution. When we look at what happened with
a new deal should be called.

Speaker 6 (02:46:52):
A new constitution, well proposes. He keeps his quiet again,
but then in nineteen thirty seven, and he's all puffed
up because the nineteen thirty six election was one of
the more spectacular landslides in American history, partly because Roosevelt
is very effective in using New Deal money, targeted money,

(02:47:13):
and I could talk about that as well, how he
was able to win such a big majority. But he thought,
I'm going to get a third New Detail, right. He
wanted to be more radical, he wanted to do more,
but he thought, what good will that do if the
Supreme Court which has been struck down striking down measures
like the Triple A and the National Recovery Administration? What

(02:47:37):
good will all my effort be unless I get a
sympathetic court. Okay, Well, he decides he proposes to increase
the size of the court and gives a speech where
he basically says, they're over extended, they're old, they're tired.
I want to help them. You know, they've got a

(02:47:58):
big workload. Well, he gives his speech, and he wants
to increase the size of the court, and he obviously
thinks he can pull it off, because I don't know,
you're talking about something like she whizz. The Republicans are
down to like sixteen twenty senators. I mean, he's got
overwhelming majority. You would think that he could pull this off. Easily,

(02:48:22):
and he's so disingenuous and it's so obvious what he's
doing that there is a big movement against core packing,
led by a New dealer, Senator Burton Wheeler, who'd been
an ally of Roosevelt and turns against him, and Wheeler
is the ideal guy to lead this effort. The Republicans
are very smart. They lay back and let the Democrats

(02:48:46):
take leadership, and they do.

Speaker 2 (02:48:48):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:48:49):
The campaign is very grueling, and it becomes clear during
the campaign that Roosevelt is essentially won because one of
the justices on the Court is switched sides, and it's
clear that he's probably going to get all of his
New deal programs sustained. But he keeps pushing on. I
guess it becomes a matter of principle for him. He

(02:49:10):
keeps pushing on. He pushes, pushes, pushes. The majority leader
of the Senate is exhausted, He is in bad shape,
and he ends up having a heart attack and is
found with a copy of the Congressional Record in his hand.
His name is Joe Robinson, and Roosevelt is It doesn't

(02:49:30):
go to Robinson's funeral, and there's a lot of controversy
about that. Why don't you go to the guy's funeral?
Probably because he was pissed off that Robinson wasn't doing
a better job. Anybody says, well, you would understand. You know,
he had to fight for that, and it hurts Roosevelt
no end. And Roosevelt is defeated. So in a lot
of ways, that is an example of a left right coalition.

(02:49:54):
There are many examples, but that's one. He's defeated by Democrats.
Could you imagine that happening under Biden. I would find
it difficult to imagine that, or franklin Er Trump in
the opposite direction. That's right, But it did happen then,
which says something positive about Americans during that period. Americans

(02:50:16):
in Congress included higher level of character in a lot
of ways.

Speaker 2 (02:50:22):
And I've mentioned many times about the fact, you know,
we have our war on drug that's been going on
for over half a century. But we had the eighteenth
and the twenty first Amendment, which said that they had
enough respect for the Constitution that everybody had, they had
a constitutional amendment to stop in order to start it,
and then stop the alcohol provision because they knew that
they didn't have that power in the Constitution. But today,

(02:50:43):
you know, we don't care about that. We just do
whatever we wish. I think it's kind of interesting.

Speaker 6 (02:50:47):
Everybody agreed on that we have to have a constitutional amendment. Y.

Speaker 2 (02:50:50):
That's right. It's one of the biggest arguments against the
War on drug I think is the fact that we
have those two amendments that are there. But when you
go back and you look at this particular case with
a Supreme Court, the fact that he's got the votes,
but he still wants to press on with this thing
because it's a matter of personal prestige and power. I think,
the same type of thing that we see with Trump.

(02:51:11):
And yet does he take the kind of vengeance against
people who go against him and kind of a vendetta
that we see Trump taking against Republicans. I say, he
doesn't attend the guy's funeral or whatever, but you know,
he gives him the cold shoulder. But did he really
go after people like Trump will go after somebody like
Thomas Massey who opposes him on his agenda.

Speaker 6 (02:51:32):
Yeah, he keeps us. And this is what's interesting. There
is an investigation under another loyalist fact he'd been offered
the position on the Supreme Court before Black, but want
to stay in Congress. His name was Senator Sherman Minton,
and if you search his name, the thing that usually

(02:51:54):
comes up as there's a bridge named after him. But
now maybe that will change. But was a very young guy.
He was already in the Senate leadership, first termer, and
he was very tight with Roosevelt. And Minton starts his
own investigation basically succeeds Black's the Black Committee's it's the

(02:52:14):
same committee. But Black is now in the US Supreme Court,
and so Minton heads this investigation. They can't search telegrams anymore,
but one of the things they do do is uh
the use uh. Minting gets permission to look at the
I R s uh uh the tax for of uh

(02:52:37):
tax records of people he targets, for example. He gets that,
but men gets very frustrated because there's a lot of putback.
People pushback, people are very upset about his methods, and
he's he's does it. He lacks Black subtlety. Black had
some subtlety, and Minton is just charging forward. And so
Minton gives a speech. He said, well, we need a

(02:52:59):
law against these big newspapers because most of the press
was against Roosevelt. So he said, let's make it a
felony to publish anything known to be untrue fake news
basically in the fact they used that term, I think
false news or fake news. And he proposes this bill.

(02:53:21):
And what is the reaction to the bill? You almost
universal opposition sets in almost from the beginning. As it
is setting in, Roosevelt is asked about the Minton bill
in a news conference, and I think Roosevelt was the

(02:53:42):
guy that had the idea. I think he put it.
Minton up to it. I can't prove that, but I
think it's true because Minton was not the kind of
guy to go off on his own. And it reflects
what Roosevelt thought of the press. He was asked about this,
and he said, well, you know, if we had such
a bill, we wouldn't even have enough room in the
federal prison system to hold all the prisoners. And he

(02:54:03):
gets a little laugh, right yeah, and then he is
he moves on to a new topic, and I wish
they'd done follow ups. They didn't. He says, you boys
asked for it. You know, that's what he says, You
boys asked for it. You know, I mean you reporters,
you you know, people, you asked for this, and then

(02:54:24):
he moves on to the next topic and he drops
it right because Minton ends up dropping it and it
discredits his investigation, and his investigation is pretty much shut
down after that. So FDRs those two years after the
nineteen thirty six election are a low point for FDR.
There's pushback against him. He loses core packing, the Minton

(02:54:48):
Committee collapses, and he is he puts all of his
attention on core packing. As a result, he isn't able
to get his radical New Deal program in nineteen thirty eight,
thirty seven, thirty eight that he wanted because he focuses
almost entirely on court packing and then later after really
it is too late on these investigations.

Speaker 2 (02:55:09):
You know, it's kind of interesting when we look at
this period of time, you know, when all the institutions
were being reconsidered, reinvented, if you will, and he's fighting
against the constitutional pattern that had been accepted. That he
was getting pushed back, even from his own party against
some of this stuff, because as we talked about people
understood the principles, he had a lot of people who

(02:55:30):
did not share his idea that the end justifies a means,
and we don't see that today, we're in a much
more dangerous situation. I think when we look at that's
why it's good to go back and look at history.
You look at the radical change that was accomplished during
the FDR period of time, and you look at the
fact that now we have people on both sides have
become unhinged from or have detached themselves from basic principles

(02:55:55):
about free speech, the rule of law, and having a
due process to investigate things like that. I think we're
in a very dangerous time right now. I think this
book helps to get people to understand that if we
look at the context of the historical context of this.

Speaker 6 (02:56:11):
Yeah, and we're seeing a lot of people on the
right who were talking about free speech and local control,
states rights, Yeah, turned on a dime.

Speaker 2 (02:56:21):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (02:56:22):
This is very discouraging to see this.

Speaker 2 (02:56:23):
Yeah, now they want to come after their idea of
fake news. You know. Now they've got their own fake
news vendettas that they want to come after. So it
is there is so much here. I mean, we could
do several interviews with this. This is an excellent book.
It is a very important presidency to understand the context
of the times in which we live in our government.
And I really highly recommend this book FDR A Political

(02:56:47):
Life by David Beato. And you pronounce you spell your
name as BEI t o. Is that right? That's right. Yeah,
so it's not spelled like the Texas politician.

Speaker 6 (02:57:00):
Oh please now, And a lot of people will call
him Beto O'Rourke, but I think it's better. Actually, Oh yeah,
I believe that's why his name is pronounced. Yeah, kep
telling people that even if it isn't true.

Speaker 2 (02:57:13):
But that was his nickname.

Speaker 6 (02:57:14):
I think it is true.

Speaker 2 (02:57:16):
Yeah. I used to always call him Robert Francis O'Rourke
or whatever his original name was. I said, he is
a he's a trans Hispanic. He identifies as his Panic. Yeah,
that's right. Yeah. We don't want to resurrect him with
any attention, I guess. But an excellent book, and thank
you so much for joining us. And there is much

(02:57:40):
to learn in terms of politics and history. A very
seminal presidency, unfortunately for many of us would like to
see government that follows the constitution. FDR's presidency was an
unmitigated disaster and it bears looking at it and see
if we see any repetition and current events as a

(02:58:02):
warning as a harbinger was coming. Because as we were
talking about earlier, you know, this whole stuff of secretly
getting information on his enemies, We saw that immediately after
a War two ended. We saw that immediately being transferred
over to the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, all these
people that using the income taxes final people. These same
tactics are used over and over again. Thank you very much,

(02:58:23):
David Beto. The book is FDR a Political Life. Thank
you folks for joining us. Have a good day. The
common man. They created common Core, dumbed down our children.

(02:58:45):
They created common Past to track and control us. Their
Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and
the communist future. They see the common man as simple,
unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
created in the image of God. That is what we

(02:59:09):
have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire
to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they
want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
