All right, welcome back and joining us now is Eric Peters of Eric petersautos
dot com or ep autos dot com. And it's always great to have Eric
on. I wanted to get him on before the traveling begins on the holidays
and earlier today, Well, thank you for joining us, Eric, appreciate
you coming on. Thanks. Oh, thank you, David. And let's
enjoy our travel ball. We can still travel, that's right. Yeah.
Earlier today I talked about I got some articles from just before Thanksgiving in twenty
twenty, MPR and all these other people trying to scare everybody to death.
Don't go see Grandma, You'll die, and all all the rest of this
stuff. And make sure if you rent a car that you wipe everything down
that the fear in the paranoid. We must not forget that, you know,
we must not forget how they scared people to death so they can't do
it again. Well, not only must we not forget, I think we
also shouldn't forget. They've got the X will apologize for any of that.
That's right. To acknowledge that, you know, assuming good intentions, that
they were bamboozled, fooled, and to acknowledge that and to say, gosh,
you know, we're really sorry that we that we involve ourselves in this
and that we helped to enable this, and this must never happen again.
And until they until they apologize, I'm not going to forgive them for it,
that's right. Well, you know, it's always been a rule of
thumb for the government that they would make two mistakes rather than admit to one.
Right, But I don't think this is a mistake. I think it
was malicious, and you know, I think that they really do want to
take everything from it so that we own nothing and we go nowhere and we
have no life. I really do think that they all signed on to that
World Economic Forum agenda, and yeah, we got two months into the you
know, the so called pandemic gough cough. You know, at that point,
you know, initially I would be willing to cut them a little bit
of slack because this thing just sort of happened out of nowhere, and you
know, okay, maybe we should err on the side of caution. But
within a couple of months it was apparent clear factual that this thing was was
being hyped, it was being exaggerated, and that there were malicious lives.
You know, you and I have talked repeatedly in the past about the way
they endlessly hourly talked about the cases, the cases, not explaining to people
that there's a big difference between a so called case, i e. A
positive test and somebody admitted to a hospital, let alone somebody who actually died.
But they wanted to conflate those two things to convey the impression that every
day thousands of people were essentially dying from this sickness, which was a believing
lie, and they knew it was a lie. So it begs the question
why did they lie? And as you say, they did it because they're
malicious, that's right. Yeah, Kerry Molsson won the Nobel Prize for inventing
the PCR. Things said, yeah, you can find anything if you magnified
enough, and of course they were magnifying it by one point one trillion times
with a number of cyclopees. You know, right now we're seeing the same
kind of thing manifests with regard to the climate change to stereo that I've written
about. They're trying to conflate this idea of a fractional increase in the fraction
of the percent of the Earth's atmosphere that is CO two, which is zero
point zero four percent roughly that somehow, this tiny, tiny constituent background non
reactive gas, there's a slight fractional increase in that amount, let alone,
whether that's caused by motor vehicles, somehow, that's going to cause a catastrophic
climate crisis. And it's absurd as trying to pathologize a virus that didn't kill
ninety nine point eight percent of the otherwise healthy, non elderly population. Yeah,
that's right. As a matter of fact. You know, I saw
this coming because I've been fighting with them over the climate thing, and they
were covering up their data and lying about it. We got their emails.
But of course it came up with this T shirt here. Mcguffin. I'll
just plug this shamelessly here because I talk about Hitchcock and the mcguffin. You
know, he says it doesn't really matter what the mcguffin is. It's what
everybody is chasing, right, It's just whatever motivates people. And so we've
seen you know, global freezing, global warming, we've seen a pandemic.
All these things are to motivate people. It doesn't really matter. And so
you know, we created this T shirt so people can wear that, and
people say, what's the Mcguffin's ultimately common the common denominator here is here.
Yeah, you know they have weaponized here. Of course that's something to go
everments have specialized in from time the memorial get people scared and as they can
put it, they will be clamorous to be led to safety. And that's
ultimately what this is all about, even if safety means their insurferment and their
impoverishment. That's right. But it was so important, wasn't that that Really
cars really were our lifeline in twenty twenty, because otherwise they would have really
had us in their little fifteen minute city or less right, they would have
had us locked in our living rooms if it hadn't been for the cars.
And even then on Thanksgiving they were trying to scare people away from using the
cars because that was the lifeline. They want to get rid of cars because
in that way they can control wherever you go with the planes, trains and
buses that are left or you know, if you don't have a private automobile,
and if it's you have to rent the automobile by the ride they got
you there too, you know. So it's about making us dependent and having
us under complete control. That's what getting rid of cars is ultimately going to
mean. Sure, it's so much easier to lock down the populast one.
You don't even have to literally lock them down. You can just sort of
throw a switch and prevent their vehicle from being operational. Yeah, point perfectively
locked down, you know, and it isn't even necessary to do it for
the car per se. What they want is essentially managed a form of power
that is entirely under their control. So they can meter the electricity, they
can turn it off, they can turn it on. So even if you
could control the car, what uses it to you if they control the electricity,
That's right, Yeah, I talk about that, you know, with
Thomas Massage put this thing together, try to stop this kill switch thing,
and he couldn't even get support amongst the GOP for that. What does that
tell us? Well, you know, I think it's because they succeeded in
framing it and it was brilliant. Again, I have to give these authoritarian
leftist credit for the way they framed things. They put it in terms of
an impaired driving switch technology. In other words, They conveyed the idea that
this is about preventing people who are drunk or otherwise impaired, whether by alcohol
or drugs, from driving vehicles. And it's very difficult for anybody to oppose
that, because, after all, you are you are you for drunk driving?
You know that's you know, when was the last time you beat your
wife? It's the same kind of an argument. Of course, Massey took
the time to deconstructed and pointed out that the actual language in the government decree
talks about driver performance, which is a very different thing from impairment. You
know, what they want to do is to characterize you're driving if it's outside
of the parameters that the government decides are acceptable. That's got nothing to do
with whether you're drunk or high or whatever. It is simply if the government
decides that the way you drive is outside of the parameters that the government likes,
that will constitute effectively impairment, and then that will be the pretext for
controlling your driving by basically, in effect, the car will pull itself over.
You don't need cops anymore. The car will really stop working. And
you know, I also point out to people this isn't something that's coming in
twenty twenty six. It's already here. It's been here for a number of
years. Practically every new car that's available right now has one degree or another
of the foundational technology that is going to comprise the whole system. When this
thing's fully enabled, already embedded in it, and it's just a matter of
turning it all on. Yeah, that's right, and you go back and
you look at it. You know, we've talked many times about how with
surveillance and control, they can automatically issue you a ticket, they can automatically
increase your insurance rates and everything because hey, you stopped too quickly, or
you took that turn too quickly, or this or that. You know,
not even about the speed, but they can micromanage everything about the way that
you're driving. And it's like, well, I don't like the way you
did that or this, and so I'm going to give you a ticket.
I'm going to raise your insurance rates. Now they can just cut the thing
off, right, Yeah. The idea is to make driving as unpleasant as
possible, in addition to making it impossible to drive, so that you just
won't want to. And people think that this is exaggerated. Talk to a
guy who drives commercially, Talk to anybody who drives a big rid These guys
are micromanaged to the end degree. If you've ever wondered why when you're out
on the inter state and there's a semi in the left lane and there's a
semi in the right lane, and the guy in the left lane is kind
of just barely creeping by the guy in the right lane who's maybe doing fifty
seven miles and the other semmy is going maybe sixty two miles an hour trying
to get around him. The reason is because if it goes any faster,
he's going to lose his job. So he has to drive within these parameters.
And that's it. And they've already beta tested it with commercial drivers,
and they're going to do it to us. They've already embedded the stuff in
the car. So I've written a couple of articles about, for example,
what they call advanced driver assistance technology, and I love how they always call
it assistance, and assistance is synonymous with control. It's about controlling you,
it's not about assisting you. I don't need assistance to know what the speed
limit is or how fast i'm driving. But what the system does advanced speed
limit assistance technology is that it correlates the speed that you're driving with the posted
speed limit on the road, and the car knows that you're driving faster than
the speed limit and then a little icon flashes in the dashboard for now just
saying, oh, look, you're speeding. But in Europe it pushes back
on the throttle on the gas pedal to prevent it from speeding. Now,
you can still kind of push through that, meaning if you push harder on
the gas, it'll override it. But the implicit point is that they have
the ability to literally throttle your vehicle to prevent you from driving any faster than
whatever the speed limit is on any road that you have to be driving on
in real time. And that's just one aspect of this technology that's right.
And when you talk about them putting it on in terms of selling it like
an impaired driver, that was a way that they were selling. Is this
the same device so they were selling before saying we're going to mandate that everybody
get a breathalyzer or something like that in order to start. Is that a
part of it? Is it extended beyond that or have they changed. It's
definitely a component of it, though it's not merely that they want to have
some sort of passive alcohol detection technology in the car meeting that you know,
your hand, let's say, touches the gear selector, and that it has
the capacity to sample your skin and somehow determine whether you've been drinking as a
result of that. That's merely a facet of it, and it's the way
that they're marketing and presenting it, and an aspect of it that I think
is very critical to examine and to understand is it was once the case in
this country that you had to have been convicted of something before you got punished
for exactly. Yeah, that's why I was going. You know, like,
if you were pulled over because you were weaving all over the road,
and you had your day in court and you were convicted of drunk driving,
one of the things that typically would result from that, if they allowed you
to drive again, would be that you would have to have your car fitted
with an interlock system. Are interlock system that required the convicted drunk driver to
show that he wasn't drunk before he could drive the car. Well, now
we're all to be presumed impaired and drunk drivers without anybody having been convicted of
anything, just the same. And it's all the piece that we're now all
presumptive terrorists if we wish to fly commercially. Yeah. Yeah, well that's
the way the regulatory state works. I mean, you have regulation with that
representation, we have taxation with that representation. And of course they are rules.
They say, you don't have any due process, you don't have any
presumption of innocence. There's always about that, you know, prove that you
don't owe me taxes, prove this and prove that, and so that's what
it's going to be about it. And of course we've also eric had a
civil asset forfeiture where they could confiscate your car, confiscate your home, confiscate
your cash without even charging you with a crime, let alone finding you guilty.
And so yeah, this is this is where they operate. I just
look at it from a practical standpoint. If they're going to start monitoring people
for uh, you know, being drunk and driving, I'm just wondering,
you know, if you're going to get a false reading because the alcohol in
somebody's perfume, if they put it on a bit heavy because there's a lot
of alcohol imperfume. It's impart as possible. Yeah, it's a new scenario,
the scenario that I see unfolding. You know, we use the word
to kill switch. I think it could potentially be the kill switch for the
car industry. The more people figure this out, understand what's happening. Would
you want to spend forty or fifty thousand dollars on a car that effectively is
under the control of someone else, some corporate entity that's spying on you constantly,
that the government could shut off at any time. Probably not, And
of course I guess that's kind of what they want. But you know,
the car industry has got to you know, I wish they'd riddle it out,
reason it out, and think to themselves, g you know, our
products are becoming increasingly unpopular and people aren't going to want to buy them.
How are we going to continue to make money? It seems like we haven't
made that connection yet. Yeah. Yeah, they need to start lobbying in
favor of freedom, as you know the gun industry does. But you know,
when we when we look at how this is moving and now they don't
want us to have any choice in all this. You've got an article it's
not about saving you money. Talk about that. The fact that you have
a very good example about Toyota Camris, the you know, the non electric
version and then the hybrid version. Talk a little bit about that. What
the government is forcing. Let's set the stage. You know, the regulatory
apparat will say that it's going to issue some new mandate as for example,
the corporate average Fuel Economy requirement, in order to compel the automakers to produce
more fuel efficient cars. And implicit in that is that there aren't fuel efficient
cars already available, which of course is a demonstrable lie. What they're trying
to do is essentially force engine cars off the market in favor of battery powered
cars. That's the real purpose of CAFE what they've done with regard to this
particular case. You know, Camra is I think the best selling Onily's car
on the market. Toyota sells something like three hundred thousand of these things every
year, and it's currently the last car of its type that you can still
get with a V six engine. They used to be common, used to
be able to get them in Honda Cords, Hyndai sonatas practically any kind of
a car. Well, the V six engine is becoming kind of like a
V twelve engine was twenty years ago. In other words, it's an exotic
power plant for the ultra affluent. I mean, even fifty thousand Mercedes and
BMW's no longer come with a six cylinder engine standard. You have to pay
extra to get it. They typically with a little two point zero leter four
cylinder engine. And the reason for that is there's simply no way for a
V six to average close to fifty miles per allan, which is what the
latest round of CAFE mandates requires and then go into effect in twenty twenty six.
So it's so extreme that not only did Toyota have to take the V
six out of the lineup, it's no longer even just a four cylinder engine.
It's a four cylinder hybrid engine that's going to be the standard power plant
going forward. And you know, on the one hand, the government says,
well, isn't this wonderful. This thing is going to get close to
fifty miles for gallon and see how much money we save you. But they
don't tell you that the thing is going to cost you five or six thousand
dollars more to buy relative to an equivalent camera without the hybrid technology. How
long are you going to have to drive it to earn back that five or
six thousand dollars. Leaving aside, okay, you've also lost the opportunity cost
of that money that you had to spend upfront on the car. And it
also assumes you can afford your budget is such that you can just expand your
budget to afford to finance a car that's now thirty five thousand dollars rather than
twenty seven thousand dollars for twenty eight thousand dollars. There's an incredible arrogance there.
And you know, the hybrid camera is already available for those who want
the higher efficient model and are willing to pay a little extra money to get
that, But that's never good enough for the government. For the government,
good enough is something that we never get to because if we did get to
it, then the government would have to say, Okay, mission accomplished,
we don't need to continue to regulate you, and that will never happen,
just like with the zero COVID stuff. You know, if even one person
has the sniffles. We still have to have a full these policies and force.
That's right. Yeah, that's a great point that you made too,
and you made that in the article. The fact that, look, we've
already got a Toyota hybrid as well as a six cylinder engine and you know,
people have a choice already. It's not like this doesn't exist. It
exists. The government doesn't like consumers having a choice. They're not pro choice.
And you know, when we go back, and we talked about this
for years as well, what they're going to do with the evs and electric
vehicles, and they're already talking about it. You know, their kill switch
is to basically set up a way that they can suck the juice out of
the car battery that you put in there when they need it for their grid.
So they're going to use these evs as a backup for their grid,
and that's really going to be a kill switch for the evs. And you
get to pay extra to get an electric vehicle so they can use it as
the battery for the grid. You talk about the power plant, you know,
the six cylinder power plant, but they're putting emission regulations on grid electrical
grid power plants as well. And this is new, this is something that's
just happened this year. So when we look at this, they're absolutely shutting
everything down. And that is the plan. That's what Biden is doing.
It's not just you know, zero emissions is zero mobility, zero that you
own, zero food everything. They want to zero it out because they want
to zero out the population and they want to zero out our freedom. It's
kind of interesting too. I came across a couple of articles. I want
to get your comments on this. I've seen in the UK they've had the
National Health System has decided that they're going to spend sixty five pounds in order
to make electric emergency vehicles electric. Yeah, exactly, good luck with that.
Well, we'll be there in a couple hours when we get this thing
charge. They already tried this in New York. New York decides they were
going to do electric snowplows, and then they ran into what you've talked about
and other people taught and Nicole whether the batteries don't last too long when they're
doing really heavy work, they don't last too long. And since they need
to have these snowplows, do like twelve hour shifts. These things could at
best get like two hours out of it. But that was putting a happy
face on it. It's pretty amazing to see this insanity, and they're running
up against some very real world opposition, whether or not people are going to
oppose them. The laws of nature are going to oppose these regulatory fiads,
aren't they. Yeah, well, the truth is going to oppose them.
They manage it as far as they have with regard to electric vehicles, because
most people don't understand the electric vehicle and the limitations of the electric vehicle,
and of electricity as a portable storage power source and what it takes to make
that work in a vehicle, in the setting up a motor vehicle. But
the truth about that is getting out there, and as a result of the
truth getting out there, there's beginning to be opposition to it. It's no
longer like, well, you know, this is a one for one slot,
and hey, it'll be fine, it's good for the climate whatever.
I'll be able to continue events before I'll have a vehicle that functions ventially as
beforeress happens to be electric. People are beginning to realize now you're you're actually
you're going to have to accept a great diminishment in terms of your flexibility,
your mobility, as well as what it's going to cost you. And as
a result of that, Uh, this whole EV juggernaut is running up against
a great uh, a great bit of what you might call hesitancy in terms
of people buying them. Uh. The things are being built because the manufacturers
are under the pressure of the mandates to produce them, but it doesn't mean
people have to buy them yet. You know, nobody's being at in their
back telling them they have to go buy an EV. And this is this
is setting up a dynamic where I think what's going to happen next is that
the government is going to start doing whatever it has to do to eliminate the
alternatives to the electric vehicle. Uh, they're going to they're already pushing non
electric vehicles essentially off the market in terms of new vehicles, but then they're
going to go after the ones that we already have. They're going to they're
going to try to figure out ways to make them inconvenient, if not illegal
to use. It's entirely possible that they could do things like pass the mandate
requiring that gas pumps operate more slowly, for example, so that it takes
you twenty minutes to put five gallons of gas in your car, so that
there's sort of a parody there between your non electric car and the electric car
that has to sit there tethered to that pump, that the charge pump for
twenty minutes to get a partial charge. Or they could just use environmental regulations
to say, we can't have these gas stations every where. We're going to
close them down so that gas I think that'd be I think that's very likely,
you know, because you look at all the paranoia about it, and
of course you know some of the old gas stations they do have to dig
them up and repair the underground tanks and things like that from time time.
But look at the paranoia that they've had. You know, those those little
the little sleeve that they put around the nozzle when you pumpo vavor guard,
yeah, to keep the gas from getting out of the because they're all going
to die if that happens, right, you know, they could always do
something hamfisted, like, you know, impose really heavy taxes in the name
of stopping climate change on gas. You know, gas gets to be ten
or fifteen dollars a gall and all of a sudden, an electric car looks
more attractive. And I think that they are going to have to do this
because their goal of getting and what is it. I think it's it's at
least fifty, if not seventy percent of the cars fully electric by twenty thirty,
I think is the goal. Correct, that's not going to happen.
We're all you know, we're not that far away. It's almost twenty twenty
four, So six years from now they think that more than half and perhaps
two thirds of the cars on the road are going to be electric. It's
simply not going to happen, certainly, not unless they can figure out a
way to get two thirds of the cars that are already circulation out of circulation.
Yeah. Yeah, Well, when you look at the making the gas
more expensive and artificially inflating, and Biden's been working at that very hard from
day one, you know, shutting down resources to get stuff there, but
also you know the sanctions that he's done. And when you look at the
price of gasoline. Just before you came on, I was talking about how
prices have gone up in the three years of Biden on average about eighteen percent
across the board, some things more than others. But the thing that went
up the most was gasoline prices up by fifty six percent, So it's about
triple what the averages for everything else. And that's by design. That's not
an accident, that's not you know, that's that's deliberate action by Biden to
make that happen. But David, we're supposed to be really grateful that the
gas is down it what is it, fifteen cents overtheless, Yeah, it's
really it really is remarkable with people's memory, it's so short. You know,
three years ago, four years ago, gas was sort of about two
dollars a gallon something like that, and now we're supposed to be happy that
it's only three dollars in twenty or three dollars and forty cents. I put
forty dollars worth of gas in my old muscle card everyday, and that was
enough to put half a tank into it. Forty dollars wow, eighty bucks
to fill the thing up. Wow. Wow. I saw you doing the
peel out with that. Enjoyed that as I remember the day. I remember
the day when I was in high school, I went to too many tires
doing that. I finally learned my lesson. But now it's not just the
tires, it's a gas that you when you do the burnout, you're burning
cash in two different ways. So it reminds me of a great movie pre
part You remember there's a scene where they're having the funeral and the older guy
says to the little boy. You know, they're playing outlawed tunes on outlawed
pipes. Remember that, Yeah, yeah, and I feel that when almost
far, Yeah, those are those are going to be outlawed pipes, just
like they're outlawing the the people rolling coal and things. You know, did
you see that they're coming out what was it? I think it was eBay.
They wanted to hit them with massive fines for each and every one of
those things that were sold on eBay, you know, for people to put
on their trucks so they can roll coal. You know, I mean,
it's it's a phenomenal amount, and nothing is too far or too absurd for
these people. Everybody lays down and dies whenever they say it's to save the
climate or the environment. And you're talking about cherry picking the inflation numbers.
I've seen this from all the way through. That's what climate gate was always
about. Climate Gate was about cherry picking your starting points so that you can
get the trend that you want. And you know, because they go back,
if you look at the Arctic cores and things like that and really have
a legitimate starting point, you can see that the industrial revolution is not affecting
the climate anyway whatsoever. So they cherry picket to try to to get the
data that they want. But you know, when you're talking about how they
are manipulating this for a particular technology, I think it's interesting. Then the
UK they're going to have some para Olympic games and Toyota is going to make
three thousand vehicles available for these Paralympic Games that are all going to be zero
emission, five hundred of them. One six of them are going to be
their hydrogen fuel cell evs, right, so you could have you know,
when you talk about and I think this is an interesting thing because it has
a lot of parallels to the pandemic mcguffin. The climate mcguffin is the same
way in the sense that not only can you not see the data, not
only are playing games so that and all the rest of the stuff and creating
a false fear campaign. But it's also that only after they create the fear
campaign, there's only one approach that's going to be allowed. And so when
you look at this hydrogen versus battery electric vehicle thing, I think that's very
telling because you know, no, we don't have time. We got a
race to this solution or we're all going to die, and you can't have
the hydrogen fuel cell, You've got to have the battery fuel cell. Of
course we know what that's about. It's about creating dependence on the grid.
Well, the other shoot that's going to drop is that for now they allow
the pretense to stand that these things are zero emissions vehicles, which of course
they're not. Everything has emissions to one to be or another. Particularly you're
going to define carbon dioxide ant non reactive gas as an emission point. Is
they're letting that they're holding that back for now because it's useful to them for
now to have this stalking horse of the EV as the vehicle for getting rid
of other vehicles. But I assure you I will make a prediction that if
this thing proceeds and is nothing available but electric vehicles, by twenty thirty.
Then all of a sudden they're going to find that there are missions with those
things too, and then they're going to start regulating and shutting those things down
too, so that again almost nobody except the extremely lead at the very apex
of the pyramid are permitted to have personal vehicles. The key to fighting this
is to understand that these people's motives are not malicious and to not engage them
on their terms. Everything that they bring out, whether it's the pandemic,
whether it's this climate stuff, it's malicious and disingenuous, and you're going to
get absolutely nowhere debating them on their terms. You have to attack them at
the core of this issue, which is about they are using these things as
excuses, as justifications to tyrannize people, to impoverish people, to increase their
control over the population. And that's it. That's the bottom line. It's
to shut people up. Just like if you have anything to say about if
you raise an objection about the policies of the Israeli government, for example,
I'm going to touch the third rail right here. That makes you antis and
oh, now you have to cringe because you don't want to be a Nazi.
Dude, you don't want to be anti Semitic. You can't do that,
you know, that's that's what they want. Or you know, if
you if you raise your fannasitin. You know, I think it's kind of
not right to deny people admissioned, to consider them for admission to college on
account of their race. Well, that means you're a racist obviously, and
you're a member of the Klan, and a lot of people will cringe,
and oh, I can't say that publicly, stop it enough. We have
to say it, you know, if you know, you know in your
hearts you're not a racist, you're not an anti Semite, You're not in
favor of pouring oil into the gutter. Don't let them put that mantle over
your shoulders that you're somehow a bad person for questioning them. We have got
to start questioning them and demanding answers. And I think you keep part of
that, you know, again we get back to the mcguffin, you know,
and I keep part of that is too. It makes me cringe when
I see people coming out and saying, yeah, but this would actually be
more effective in terms of cutting down CO two. It would actually have less
emissions, and then your proposal on everything, it's like, don't fight on
their battlefield. Right, the whole thing is a false construct. We've got
to get to the root of the lie instead of saying, well, I
think you know you're being a little bit too harsh, and we need to
have a little bit more time to comply with these things and so forth and
have a debate on that area. We're going to lose that debate if we
let set the terms, if we let them create this fantasy world about magic
unicorn farts that are going to kill us, all we lose. Right,
And so you've got to point out the emperor has no clothes and they have
no foundation of this. By the way, you know, Travis, pull
up the article there of the wooden version of Tesla's cyber truck. Okay,
Now the question is okay because it got Bill Gates wants to go around and
cut down trees. Now, after we had to pay billionaires money to plant
trees. Whenever we committed the sin of having emissions with some activity, we
would have to pay an indulgence to be able to have that emission or that
energy use by having them plant trees. And after they've run this scam for
a long time. Now they want to go out and cut down trees and
then bury them. And so is Bill Gates going to want to bury this
wooden Tesla cyber truck? Well, meanwhile, how many how many millions of
tons of carbon dioxide did the recent launch of the Mega rocket produce? That's
okay? Oh yeah, oh yeah absolutely. I think it is kind of
funny though, because in a way I've seen people criticize. Uh, you
got automotive engineers who design body styles and they said, well, well,
this is obviously designed by an amateur because all these panels are dead straight and
flat, and that's going to be impossible to get a good fit. It's
going to be really difficult to manufactory. That's why they don't have flat panels
on this thing. But you know, if you're going to do it,
and would maybe that works to have form it more readily. You know,
it's amazing with regard to a cyber truck that they didn't learn the lesson from
Delorian. Delorian also tried to make stainless steel bodied vehicles, and you know,
the idea was, well, you have a stainless steel body, it
won't rust you don't have to painted, which is true. The problem is
stainless steel is extraordinarily difficult to form, particularly in round type forms. You
know, it's it's fine to have right angles and things like that, but
that's the problem in Tesla has with the cyber truck. You know, it's
forty years after the Dolorean, and this still the manufacturing process is necessary to
take stainless steal and make a curved fender, let's say, you know,
and make tolerances of what people expect the new cars. You're not going to
do that with stainless steel. Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. And I
think that if I remember correctly, I think there was a lot of complaints
at the time when the Dorian came out. People were complaining about how difficult
it was that showed fingerprints and all this other kind of stuff. It was
a real hassle to try to keep this thing looking good because if you touched
it, you got all kinds of fingerprints left on the body there. It's
kind of but I think that Elon Musk does admire that he did going doors
on one of his vehicles, right, so, you know, going doors,
and so he's pulling back bits and pieces of it. I think he
maybe you know, saw TV pictures of this thing and never really investigated the
practical aspects of the Deloreans, which I like. I mean that we came
here one year and Pigeon Forge they had a convention of Deloreans and it was
pretty cool, you're telling me, Yeah, yeah, pretty cool to see
all these things. I'd never seen one up close and personal, and they
were all over the place. But you know, I think he's looked at
it from afar and tried to incorporate aspects of it, because everybody looks at
it and thinks, you know, what a cool innovative thing, and so
it's got that sizzle that's there, but maybe not a practical aspect to it.
Well, the thing that infuriates me about it. You know, if
you were just an entrepreneur like Dolorian and you know, offering this vehicle for
sale, fine, the people who want it, let them buy it.
That's that's fine with me. But here we have yet another one of these
battery power atrocities for the uber ultra rich. This thing is a six figure
vehicle, so once again the average person is having a pie thrown in their
face. You know, this is for the people who are able to afford
it, and people like you are going to be driven out of being able
to drive cars by these smug, smarmy, virtue signaling elite people who prants
and prene and talk about how green they are while they're driving these six figure
overpowered, overweight, gratuitously energy consumptive electric vehicles that suck as much energy as
a VA muscle cars just a different form and expect you and I to subsidize
it. It's as outrageous as me somehow leveraging the government to make you subsidize
the purchase of my trans am and the gas that it burns. It's beyond
insufferable. Oh yeah, yeah, this article, it's going around talking about
how one percent rich with their private jets and all the rest of the stuff
are using or generating as much as CO two or carbon or whatever you want
to come as sixty six percent of the rest of the population. Again,
this is going back to it's good to point out their hypocrisy by their own
standard of measurement, but it's also important when recover story like this to point
out and oh, by the way, nobody should care about how much CO
two anybody uses. You know, I said years ago, this is some
insight baseball. You remember when the cheating scandal broke with Volkswagen over the emission
certification tests and their TDI engines. Oh yeah, and I talked to it
a lot. I pleaded with some people that I know in the company.
Guys, you should put some money toward explaining people what's going on here and
demand that the government produce evidence of actual harm costs not contest. Oh,
you cheated on the certification tests, as if somehow that means somebody was harmed,
So what who cares? That's like saying I cheated by not buckling up
for safety when I went out for a drive this morning. You know,
I really think one of the keys to solving this problem is when some activists
or politician or regulatory bureaucrat comes out with a proposal demands that X, Y
or Z be done. That in the first place, it be established as
fact that there is a need for this because there is a harm, actual
human beings being harmed, not people's feelings being hurt, you know, not
some rule being affronted, but that there is an actual harm, and then
whatever the solution is should be proportionate in costs and imposition to whatever the harm
is. It's insane to harm a population of three hundred and thirty million people
over a hypothetical that you know, it was a single human being put forward
as was there any proof aduced that even one person was harmed by Volkswagen's TDI
diesels? And the answer is no, yeah, oh yeah, And how
many? How many people have been harmed by denying the access to a vehicle
that you could have bought for twenty two thousand dollars that had a seven hundred
mile range and got fifty miles per gallon. That's that's a real harm.
We've been denied that all of those great Volkswagen diesels are no longer available because
they'd cheated on emission certification tests. And I remember when that was happening,
and you and I talked about this, and I said, look, you
know, we've had situations with the pintos or they cut corners and people died,
and they said, well, it's going to be easier for us to
pay off these people who died than it is for us to make this change.
And it is a clear mercenary calculation that caused people to die and you
look at you know, that was a lot of attention drawn to that,
but you look at the penalty that they paid, that Ford paid for that,
it was nothing compared to what they did to VW. And you look
at the airbanks, the Dakada airbags. We talked about that as well.
And you know, this is something killed you know, about a dozen people,
well actually I think about eighteen or something like that now, and yet
they didn't get that kind of treatment as Volkswagen did. Volkswagen supposedly quote unquote
cheated on it. Well, you know, from one standpoint, everybody cheats
on this. They adjust the shifting points on the automatic. Yeah, they
they mess up your transition, I'm sorry. They tune their vehicles to meet
the test. And this happens on time in the car industry. And typically
when it happens, when the government finds out about it, what they might
do is, you know, require that the manufacturer makes them change. They
never, in the past, not ever, did they arrest and frog Mark
frog march an executive in chains before a judge and charge them criminal. This
was the first time that ever happened, and it happened for a reason,
and it happened because of the timing. If you go back to twenty fifteen
or so, that was when this electric vehicle push really began to get on
ahead of steam, and they understood that the TDI diesels that Volkswagen was selling
for twenty two to twenty four thousand dollars presented an existential threat to this agenda.
It would have been extraordinarily difficult to try to tell people, Hey,
buy a fifty thousand dollars Tesla with a two hundred and eighty mile range that
you'll have to sit at a fast charger and wait an hour to get a
partial charge back into or you could drive this twenty two thousand dollars Jetta for
seven hundred miles and refill the thing in five minutes and be back on board.
I mean, nobody's going to do that, I mean in any meaningful
way. So they had to get rid of these sensible, affordable alternatives to
the electric vehicle, and Volkswagen was the biggest defender in that regard, and
that's why those vehicles had to go oh yeah, yeah. And you look
at the way they turned them. It's kind of like when I saw that
happening, it reminded me of what happened with Bill Gates, who lied and
cheated and stole his way into essentially a monopoly, and they came after him
for anti trust violations, which clearly he had violated those things. And you
remember seeing the the him as he's being deposed doing his deposition, and he's
rocking back and forth in his chair, you know, and they they you
know, they didn't make any major issues with it. But ever since that
point in time, Microsoft has been wetted wedded to the surveillance state, to
DARPA and all the rest of them. They run NewsGuard and Election Guard and
everything. They run all that through Microsoft. Microsoft is going to be running
their Coalition for Content Providence and Authentication, which is going to put an idea
on everything that you or I do and allow them to shut it down before
it even gets posted. And so you know, they've had they've owned Microsoft
because of that. And they did the same thing with Volkswagen. They were
able to put the fear of government in these guys. And now my you
know, Volkswagen is out there you know, with a taking the lead and
all these ev things, and you know, they dropped all the diesel stuff
and then took the lead really in ev stuff. They know how to turn
people around. It's amazing how they can do that. Oh they do.
And you know another example, you know, after the near bankruptcy and the
actual bankruptcy Ford and General Motors back in nine the government came in and saved
the day, rescued them from bankruptcy, provided lots of government money, with
lots of government strings. And it's not accidental that after that point General Motors
became government motors and did exactly what the government wants and became in fact indistinguishable
from the government. You know, these corporations now used to be sort of
a separate thing, and here was the government. They were kind of at
loggerheads sometimes and they would fight with each other. Now they're partnered with each
other. They're both trying to do the same thing. And we're the targets
of the suffert. Yes, you know, I look to see what is
happening frequently in the UK because they really are a couple of steps ahead of
us, and we're both going down the same world economum agenda. But they're
doing it more rapidly. You know, they're banning cars in many different cities,
they've done that. They've got their ultra low emission zones. They even
charge if you've got a diesel car. They hit them so much they will
put a fee on you even if you park it and you're not driving it.
And so we see all this crazy stuff that's happening there. The Daily
Mail had an article that was about twenty four pages long talking about all the
different types of speed cameras, kind of giving people heads up warning on it.
And they've got these ultraspeed cameras are now being chopped down by vigilantes and
so these people are actually going out and sawing down the poll that this thing
is on. These people are they're getting so angry about this. And of
course we've seen this with the ul Z, the ultraloy emission zone things that
the Sadiq Khan put up to you know, if you come into my area
with a car that is not a zero emission car, we're going to charge
you like twelve or fifteen dollars a day. And so you had a lot
of these people going around, you know, like vigil andes taking this stuff
down. Some of them got caught because they weren't even trying to hide their
identity and they've got cameras everywhere, but at least you know they're there.
That's at least they're fighting back. That puts me on a list, I
guess we're saying that, but that's fine. That's the way I feel.
At least these people are fighting back and destroying this. They take the cameras,
they take a poll sometimes and they just point it at the sky,
you know, and just push it up. They don't destroy it, they
just reposition it so I can't see what's on the ground. Well, one
man's vigilantes, another man's freedom flayer, that's right. I mean, what
was Robin Hood? You know? They put us, they put our backs
to the wall. They leave us essentially no choice, you know, hall
Menkin, who I've admired since I was in high school. So that,
you know, point comes when you have to spit on your hands and hoist
the black flag. You know. There they've effectively turned us into criminals,
so we might as well embrace it and just proceed accordingly. It's awful to
have to say that, but it's the truth. You know, you can't
honest, decent people can't be honest and decent anymore. You can't function because
your honesty and decency will be used against you. And don't let them make
you feel bad about doing the right thing because they say it's illegal, you
know, because they're trying to use their apparatus to punish you for things that
involve no harm to anybody. These cameras are outrageous. All of this stuff
is outrageous and it needs to be pulled out, root and branch and thrown
into a bonfire. It's high time. Yeah, yeah, well they did
that. The thing was up on a metal pole and they cut it down
with an angle grinder and then normally, yeah, it's great. You know,
they've got all the equipment and tools. You know, they come out
there and they have at it. You know, I sometimes make myself a
cup of coffee and watch those videos to make myself feel better. That's right.
They're also removing the ballards that they've set up, you know, for
their fifteen minute cities to prohibit you from traveling into certain zones. The people
are going out and taking this stuff down, and so I'll tell you,
yeah, go ahead. I was going to say, there's something else I
think that's going to happen that's related to this, and you're probably following this
as well, the way these insurance companies now are jacking up people's premiums to
the point of affordability, you know, whether it's home insurance or car insurance
or whatever it is that you're obliged to buy because of government FIAT, because
the government and the insurance companies are in bed together. And I think at
a point, a point's going to come where people are going to say,
you know, if my choice is to stop driving or to not eat and
pay insurance, I think I'm just going to stop having insurance and drive and
eat. I'm going to stop paying it. There's going to be mass refusal
to go along with this anymore. They're really pushing people to the point where
it's no longer just well, this is annoying and I don't like this.
This is becoming an existential question for a lot of people. Just like with
cars, if they take away your non electric car, particularly if you live
out in the country as I do and you do, they're telling you effectively,
you know you're going to be stranded. You're not going to be able
to go anywhere because you don't have an ev and an ev is and practical
they're not just saying you're not going to have car. They're saying you're not
going to have your house in the country or your suburbs. Even you know,
you're pushed to living in some kind of an apartment or whatever inside their
fifteen minute freedomcies. This is an existential threat. And I think to understand
that, you know they're gonna they're going to come to groups. They're innate
desire that most non psychotic people haven't. I'm not looking for a fight.
I'm not trying to get into a fight. But if you keep on pushing
me and you keep on hitting me, I'm going to defend myself. Yeah,
And where the rubber meets the road is really going to be at the
local level, you know, and local and state government. That's where we
can stop this stuff. It can become worse as we saw in twenty twenty,
or you can make it better at that level. And a good example
of this I like to point back to is this pistol brace thing done executive
order gun control, Like Trump set the president with the bump stock, and
so then Biden does it with a pistol brace. But of course Trump tried
to do that in his administration with a pistol brace as well, started it
in twenty nineteen and then ended it in twenty twenty, and then Biden immediately
brought it back. But here, the way they handle it here Eric and
Tennessee was I talked to a Tennessee state senator and he said that senator nicely,
he said, well, we've got that taken care of. He said,
first of all, we pass the law that says that if something is
legal here in Tennessee, they can't make it illegal at the federal level,
and we're not going to help them to enforce any of this stuff. And
then we said, and oh, by the way, pistol braces are legal.
So even before, even while these guys are wrestling with this thing in
court challenges back and forth, and let's take it to this level of the
court challenge and so forth, they'd already cut this thing off at the you
know, where the rubber meets the road, at the local level in this
particular case, at the state level. But you can do that kind of
stuff at the local level as well, And so you can have sheriffs that
are going to stand in the gap and not going to force, not going
to enforce the governor's rules about masks and things like that, or they can
get real horsey and they can be worse about it. You know, it
makes a big difference. I tell people we got that, we've got the
whole political concerns upside down. We need to understand that these people in Washington
are trying to destroy our lives. But the way that we can fight back
is really at the local level, don't you think. Oh? I absolutely
agree, And you know that's what I'm about to say with what Graujow Marx
once said about not wanting to join a club that would have him as a
member, And what I mean by that is I am loath to consider running
for office, but I've actually been thinking about running locally for school board and
on the motto vote for Eric and he'll leave you alone and won't take your
money. And this is, as you say, this is the sort of
thing that we need to do minimally, even if someone like myself stands little
if any chance of actually getting elected. By making the run, you at
least get the alternative point of view out there. And it's no longer this
uniparty dynamic between the red sheep and the blue sheep, and they're both in
agreement on the fundamentals. Let's have something different for a change. Let's actually
talk about not less taxes, but no taxes. Let's talk about leaving people
alone period, not only leaving them alone here, but interfering with them there.
Because you're on this side of the political how and you think it's okay
to interfere with people in this way, but the other side so it's okay
to do it that way. Let's get away from that. Let's get back
to just voluntarism. And if somebody is not causing harm to anybody, leave
them be. Yeah, you know, this is this is ultimately the long
term goal. And if I have to run for school board, I'll do
it. That's my contribution if I you know, such as it is,
well, yeah, and you might be able to actually participate and they might
have still have debates there, you know, when you look at what is
happening with the debates. And I was involved with third parties and tried to
you know, we had ballot access for the LP that we would get on,
you know in North Carolina. But even after all this, you know,
it's like Sisyphis, you know, rolling the rock up the hill every
every two to four years. But even after you get on the ballot,
they would find some way to keep you out of the debate. They didn't
want to have the debate. And now we see this happening with Trump,
we see it happening with Biden. They don't want to debate anybody. It's
pretty obvious why Trump and Biden don't want to debate anybody, because it's not
they don't want to make any of this stuff about any issues. It's got
to be about them personally. And you know, so you know the other
guy. You hate that other guy, don't you. Well, you don't
hate me as much as you hate him. But let's talk about the issues
because really, on the existential issues, there isn't any difference between them,
So why have a debate about that when that would just show that they're on
the same page, absolutely exactly. And I think we can have a great
deal of impact and influence at the local level. We take back our communities,
and if we take back our communities, we take back our states,
and we can take back our country in time. You know, the authoritarians,
the authoritarians didn't succeed overnight. It took them generations to make the games
that they made and it may take us that amount of time to make them
back. I agree, it's and we have to understand and the reason that
we talk about what is happening globally while we talk about what is happening in
Washington isn't because we can do anything about it. We can't. As a
matter of fact, I had the guy who wrote the book the Tuttle Twins,
you know series, and he's out of out of Utah, and he
said he helped to he was in politics and he helped to get my elected.
He says, I, you know, criticize him for what he's done
or hasn't done, because you really can't get much done even as a senator.
And he said, I found that we've spent all of our effort trying
to fix things in Washington where we have the least amount of impact and leverage,
and then we focus on the presidency where we have absolutely zero impact on
that. But he said he started getting involved in state politics and he was
able to get a whole bunch of different laws passed that we're going to make
things freer for people in Utah. So that's why you know, when we
look at that, it's important to keep that in mind and to understand,
as the liberals have always said, I've always all my life, you know,
Tip O'Neil and other Democrats said, all politics is local. That's where
it really happens. And you would hear the people pushing for world government would
always say, think globally, act locally. All the Greenies and all the
rest of the Communis would all do this, and that's what we need.
We need to understand what their global agenda is. We need to understand the
directions that they're coming after us, what the endgame is with all this stuff,
and then we need to fight them locally. That's that's where we've got
to fight them locally, each and every one of these agendas. We can
even fight them at at a lower level. That's something exactly the word excuse
me, I've had too much coffee this morning. But at the family level.
I had the discussion earlier today with a friend of mine who was telling
me about he's training his daughter how to grive, helping her room how to
drive, and he encouraged her to use her eyes and her brain rather than
be a mindless automaton that just follows the rules. So at a red light.
If it's safe to go, it's okay to go, And if the
law says don't go, it's still safe to go. Theyrrespectable with the law.
In fact, it's safer because if you become a rule following automaton,
you might decide, well, the light screen, I can go, as
opposed to looking to see whether somebody's about to run that light and run right.
Use your brain. Learn to think, you know, it's empowering.
And the more people that are that are that are taught to think, the
more empowered they become, the less fearfully come become. This is really important.
You know that these authoritarians depend on They want you to think that,
oh my gosh, I have to wait to be told what to do by
somebody who knows what to do by an authority figure, as opposed to,
you know, let's evaluate the facts, look at what's going on, what's
the situation, and let's decide what the right and prove and course of action
is on our own, use our own judgment. We do that, and
we find that we have less and less need for these authoritarian know it all
busy bodies. Yeah, oh absolutely, it's interesting. You know, to
go to foreign countries, especially third world countries, but even you know,
some places like France where you look at roundabouts and they don't have lanes define
and you know, you look at the Arch of Triumph and everything, and
all these people are zipping around there and there's no lanes. Everybody's got to
be on the lookout for what they're going to do, you know. And
and if you go back and you look at old videos of let's say the
nineteen forties or something like that, you know, in La and there's no
lanes anywhere. Everybody's just kind of doing their own thing, kind of like
it still is in France. In some places and other things like that.
We we have these little lanes and lines and lights that are set up and
signs that are set up, and we think that if we follow this precisely
that we're going to be safe, when in reality we're not. You know,
if you didn't have these, my dad got t boned and would have
been seriously injured, except you didn't have his seat belt on. That's a
bench seat Cadillac in a total of the Cadillac came in on the driver's side,
knocked him across the car. Fortunately he wasn't trapped in there. But
you know it was somebody who ran a stop sign at a high speed.
And you know, some back roads and anything. Well, imagine if you
didn't have stop signs anywhere, and every time you saw an intersection there,
you would like you be on the lookout for somebody that's coming your way instead
of thinking I've got the right of way. You know. So there's a
passage of this too that relates, and that is the incipity of it.
You know, they use these terms like assistance that we were talking about earlier,
and that's insulting. You know, I don't need assistance. I'm confident
I can handle things. It's as if somebody's perfectly capable of walking and they
present you with a walker or a wheelchair because you're in need of assistance supposed
to being an able bodied person who can walk. You know, I'm a
person who's perfectly confident to brive a vehicle. I don't need steering assists,
I don't need break assists and all these other forms of assistant. Stop trying
to parent me, Stop treating me as if I'm an idiot. Yeah I
can I deal with these things on my own. Yeah. Yeah. When
we look at what is happening too. You know, there's the deliberate neglect
of our real infrastructure. An example of this and I don't know what the
figure is here in the United States, but they said in the UK,
four hundred and fifty one people have been seriously injured or killed by incidents involving
potholes and just a period from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty two because they don't
fix these things, right. I mean, you see videos even Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who I can't stand any of his politics. You know, he's going
out there virtually signally because it's like, Okay, I've had enough of this.
We're going to fix the pothole ourselves. And you know, you see
these vigilanti pothole fixers from time time. Kind of reminds me of Brazil,
where you know, Robert taner A is the guy going and fixing the air
conditioning things because nobody can get the government doesn't got a monopoly to actually do
it. So people go out there and fix this stuff and the government will
get very upset in places like California if you go out and you've patched the
road yourself, you know, and there's there's something about that that that we
should talk about these electric vehicles because of their weight. Oh yeah, that
popole problem even worse. A typical EV weighs a small one weighs about forty
five hundred pounds, and some of the trucks weighs six thousand pounds and more.
So you can imagine the effect on the road over time if lots of
these vehicles are out there pounding on those roads. And we're all going to
pay for that in the form of these these gaping potholes that will swallow your
entire car all full. Yeah, it's yeah, they're gonna have to.
They're talking about redesigning, having to redesign the parking garages as well because so
much more weight. They didn't design it for that, right. It truly
is amazing, and you know, but they don't care. It's full speed
forward. We don't care. We're going to do this at warp speed.
It's always as I said the mcguffin, you've got this crisis. You've got
to act now. There is no time to get it right or to test
it to see if it works. We've got to go with this technology or
this injection, and we're all going to die and just shut up. And
if you're in the way, you're a problem, you're a terrorist. We
see these rolling out over and over again, even when the evidence is to
the contrary. You know, if we assume that there is a climate crisis,
let's just for the sake of discussion, assume there's a climate crisis and
it's caused by motor vehicles and by carbon dioxide emissions. Well, if that's
the case, then why are they pushing or why are they allowing I should
say, these gratuitously energy consumptive six thousand pounds evs. Wouldn't you think if
there's a crisis, we're all going to die, there's a crisis, that
the only allowable evs would be minimalist EV's, the most basic, lightest,
most energy efficient, least power consumptive vehicles, just whatever was minimally necessary to
transport you from A to B. And the reason that they don't do that,
of course, is because the affluent virtue signalers would never want to be
caught dead driving a car like that. If they want to go around there
in their lure proceed ultra exotic, ultra luxurious electric car, they don't want
to drive around in the electric equivalent of a Soviet era travant. You know,
it just gives the lie to all of this nonsense. If there were
a crisis, this would not be what's happening. So we know that their
motives are disingenuous, dishonest, and malicious. And we know that, you
know, these are going to be the cars that the stakeholders will drive,
that they the private public partnership will drive, and and so you know they're
they're they're they're setting this up so that only the elite will have cars.
That's another part of it as well, as you're pointing out they don't want
to drive it themselves, but they don't want you to have anything. But
they're going to have their cars, just like they'll have their private jets and
their yachts and all the rest of this stuff. It is amazing. And
you know, we talk about people even being killed by potholes. Yesterday they
had an article from the World Economic Forum talking about a day of remembrance for
road traffic victims. And then as if that's not enough, because they've got
the Vision zero that they've been using as part of their twenty thirty agenda and
smart city agenda. We're going to have zero traffic deaths, and of course
the way you're going to do that's have zero cars and or they're going to
be traveling at zero speed, which means you're not going to drive them anywhere.
But you know, their vision zero thing. But then they take it
to this direction, Eric, they say how a global road safety crisis harms
women's rights. Of course it does. Years ago they had National lampoon had
a joke headline and it said end of the world tomorrow. Women are minority's
hardest hit. Yeah, this headline is literally saying the same thing. First
of all, you know, it's a day of remembrance to go to war
with cars because they're killing everybody, and then it's killing women worse. It's
a little too early to drink. Is there's never any end through? Well,
you know what else have you got at Eric Peters Auto's dot com.
Well, let's we talked about the safety and the fact that it's not actually
saving you any money. You also talked about now you talked about the end
of the there's one vehicle that's left, the last six cylinder that's standing.
You've got to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know,
that gets into what we've been talking about. It the way the regulations are
being used to force the V six engine off of the market. But there's
something else. If I could, I'd like to just ship a little bit,
I know, find to short that that ties into this electric vehicle thing,
which is the CDD thing, CBDC thing. Yes, you can't pay
cash at a fast charger, you know. This is something that people should
be aware of. In order to use these fast chargers, you have to
use digital money. Typically, you have to have a credit card that's tied
to an app on your phone, and if you don't have that, you
won't be able to charge your ev Very interesting and so slip the way.
At many supermarkets and other kinds of retail establishments, they have windowed down the
cash registers that accept cash to almost mil and they're trying to control and push
you into using this digitized electronic currency, you know, And that's telling and
again it's another mechanism by which the electric vehicle is going to control you.
You know, they're going to know whether you bought electricity, how much electricity
you bought, and more to the point, whether you're allowed to buy electricity
at these these fast chargers. That's really important for people to understand that.
And it's always been about control. It's always been about that we've got to
have you can again, you can't have a hydrogen electric vehicle. We're not
going to work on that technology. We're going to say that's not allowed because
we've got to have something that's going to only be chargeable off of the centrally
controlled electric grid. And now we're going to have the centrally controlled finances that
are out there, and people are getting banned by the thousand is now in
the UK. That's another place where they are slightly ahead of us is happening
here. I mean I got kicked off of PayPal on Venmo after five months
on there. But you know they're doing the de banking thing and they're ramping
that up. It is an ever tightening news. That's why we have to
work on how we can get outside of their system that they plan. And
you have to know what system they're planning and how they're going to shut things
down so that you can make plans to exist. Otherwise, you know,
if they're going to shut down all your banking system, well then you need
to figure out how you're going to operate on a cash or gold or silver
basis with people. That's the key thing to understand where they're coming at you.
Yeah, well, and one thing that you can do right now,
and it may seem fascile on the individual level, but use cash insists on
it. Yes, yes, if a merchant will not accept other than cash,
then don't do business with that business. That's right. And the more
of us do it, just as more of us were shoes to wear the
mask and didn't take the job. That can have effect as it scales,
but you know it starts with you and me and every other person out there.
Stop being gulled by the convenience of electronic transactions. I understand it's a
little more difficult to spill out a piece of paper from your wallet and for
the coins supposed to swipe in your card, but it's really important to not
let them get control of our money. If they get control of our money,
they control everything. And it will actually help you keep you from going
into credit card debt too. Absolutely, if you have one hundred dollars in
wallet, that's all you can spend. You can't spend more than that.
If you have a card, you can't outspend. What's your ability what you're
able to pay? You know. Pierce Corbin I interviewed him. He was
in the UK and he had that video that went viral where he goes into
all these and they said, no, we're on cash list now. And
so to make a point, you know, he gets some strawberries and leaves
the cash there and they say, hey, do that you know, and
they call the police on him. There wasn't He's paid them, you know.
And I don't know what the situation is in the UK, but here
in the US, if you really got to have something, or you really
want to make the point, it says on their legal tender for all you
know things, and so you got the law on your side with that.
If you really want to press it with these people, you can. And
you know, if you got the cash money, they got to take the
cash money. That's that's what it's really about. We always great talking to
you, Eric ep autos dot com to find out what is happening with mobility
and that is tied to our liberty in such an important way. And before
we close, let me think, Angry Tiger, good to see you there.
