00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:29.640
Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

2
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.640
As a clock strikes thirteen, it's
Wednesday, the seventeenth of January. You're

3
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:54.159
of our Lord twenty twenty four.
Well, today we're going to focus on

4
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.359
what Davos has focused on, and
of course that's climate and also war.

5
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:04.120
They're having a Zelenski in he's hitting
up all these global banksters for cash,

6
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.560
just getting it from the governments,
but of course from the people who are

7
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.959
going to be setting up our global
governance, the corporations that are partners and

8
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.920
all this. We're going to take
a look at the climate scam. And

9
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.959
of course one extreme weather event like
we're undergoing right now does not disprove it.

10
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.280
The other people use that argument.
We must be careful not to,

11
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.120
but there's plenty of good arguments showing
the trends are faults. But most importantly,

12
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.120
as we can see in the severe
weather event, we can see where

13
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:42.200
they're taking us, and that is
not to zero emissions, but to zero

14
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.920
energy as they get rich with their
pals and their cronies. And we're going

15
00:01:48.000 --> 00:02:05.840
to begin with that. Stay with
us. Will be right back. Well,

16
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.680
I don't know how cold it is
where you are, but it's pretty

17
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.000
cold here, and we were getting
these weather advisories telling us it's going to

18
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.000
be minus fifteen degrees wind chill factor. Well, that's interesting, So I

19
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:23.039
looked it up, and that was
a different source of information. I looked

20
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.479
it up on mine, and it
said essentially the same thing, minus fourteen,

21
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.560
minus fifteen, and it predicted no
wind one mile p hour wind,

22
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.520
So that wind chill factor is all
chill and not so much wind. But

23
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.360
it turns out this morning, as
I looked at it, it wasn't minus

24
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.360
fifteen degrees. Oh I'm not just
add Karen has a different weather app as

25
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.840
well, and they vary quite a
bit. Their predictions vary by a couple

26
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.759
of different degrees, you know,
and even during the day if you look

27
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.960
at it, they vary by a
few degrees from each other on a regular

28
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.280
basis. But rather than it being
minus fifteen, it was plus one.

29
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.479
They missed it by sixteen degrees.
And I mentioned this because there were ceases

30
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:15.000
to amaze me. It was I
think twenty thirteen that the American Meteorological Society

31
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.199
had their annual convention in Austin,
and I went to that and everybody.

32
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.560
I mean, it was just a
sea of science fair exhibits. Some of

33
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.879
the people, a lot of people
were doing presentations on their particular models to

34
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.599
try to predict the weather a couple
of days in advance, and then they

35
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.080
had this massive floor and every single
one of these was like a high school

36
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.039
science exhibit where they had a big
board up there talking about their model and

37
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.560
all the rest of this stuff.
And then they were all struggling to try

38
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.280
to predict what the weather was going
to be, nobody who was exactly getting

39
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.240
it right. And then there was
this one exhibit that was done by an

40
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.879
organization funded by George Soros, and
it was wagging the finger at these weather

41
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.280
and saying, you know, people
would believe in climate change if you would

42
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.840
tell them. But the sad thing
is is that most of the meteorologists don't

43
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.800
believe in climate change. It's like, why would they when they are struggling

44
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.240
to predict what the weather is going
to be in a couple of days or

45
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.879
the next day even, And you're
going to tell me that you've got a

46
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.560
model that knows what the climate is
going to be like in fifty years from

47
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.959
now, Well, that's convenient isn't
it an open ended process, because that's

48
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.199
what all these people were doing.
They said, well, here's our model,

49
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.319
here's why we thought this would work, and these are the factors that

50
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.439
we're measuring and using and putting into
our models. And here's how we waited

51
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.720
it and all this other kind of
stuff. And then here's the results.

52
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.279
And as you can see, we
got it pretty good here, but we

53
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.560
missit over here. That type of
thing, that's where you do the science.

54
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.079
But if you predict what the weather
is going to be like fifty years

55
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.079
from now, you don't have to
do any science. And you can also

56
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.560
hide your data, and you can
pick where you you want things to start,

57
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.600
and all these other tricks that they
use all the time, standard tricks

58
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:13.600
and lies from government quote unquote scientists
that we saw during the so called pandemic

59
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:19.040
as well. Deadly Arctic blast is
the threat in the NFL playoffs in the

60
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.680
Iowa. Coccus says that seventy nine
percent of the US is it with below

61
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:30.800
freezing temperatures and expecting to set record
lows, as I say in this article

62
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:38.360
from Oregon to Mississippi. And so
when we look at the Arctic sea ice

63
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:45.279
that they're freaking out about as well. That is surprisingly soaring, and it

64
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.680
shouldn't be a surprise, and it's
been increasing for the last twenty one years.

65
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:57.839
So it depends on where you pick
your spot to set your trend.

66
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.720
Right, we could say, well, I'm going to start it from twenty

67
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.040
one years ago, and that means
that we're going to go into a new

68
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.399
Ice age, which is what the
depopulationists for the first Earthday. We're all

69
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.600
talking about Paul Erlik who wrote the
Population Bomb. He wants to kill everybody.

70
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.959
That's the bottom line. And all
this climate stuff, by the way,

71
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.040
that's what's so appealing to the globalists. But it was going to be

72
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:26.240
a new Ice age. But if
you change the starting point and you take

73
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.839
a bigger view, what you see
as a cyclical thing, and it's related

74
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:38.160
to solar cycles actually, which they
can't predict that either, and they have

75
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.240
no control over it. And it
isn't because of your dishwasher or your car

76
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.360
or anything else. The solar cycles. The traumatic, if largely unpublicized recovery

77
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.120
in arctics c ICE is continuing into
the new year, despite the contestable claims

78
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.720
of the hottest year ever. You
see that all over the materials from Davos

79
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.920
to justify because it's a this year, we're going to be talking about climate

80
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.240
and conflict, and so they bring
in Zelenski for the conflict. Maybe should

81
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:12.560
talk about climate and coups, just
whatever. The mcguffin of the year is

82
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.000
Arctic sea and ice. On January
the eighth stood at the highest level in

83
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.759
twenty one years. And in last
December, this just a month or so

84
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.639
ago, the US based National Snow
and Ice Data Center revealed that sea ice

85
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.199
recorded its third highest monthly gained in
the modern forty five year record. You

86
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.720
see, we haven't been looking at
it for that long forty five years,

87
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.399
and we had a record here for
the last forty five years. I've known

88
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:42.279
Karen longer than they've known what's going
on in the Arctic in terms of ice.

89
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.480
That's ridiculous. We're coming up to
our fiftieth anniversary of our first date.

90
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.399
They don't. They just had their
forty fifth anniversary of their first look

91
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.959
at Arctic sea ice. So don't
talk to me about that. I'm older

92
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.759
than their records, a lot older
than their records. So the reading up

93
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.480
to January the eighth has now far
exceeded the average for the years twenty eleven

94
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.319
twenty twenty. It also exceeds the
average for the years from two thousand and

95
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:18.279
one to twenty ten, and it
points directly upwards with regard to the average

96
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.959
for the years nineteen ninety one to
two thousand. So again, you know,

97
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.000
where do you want to pick your
starting point? And as they say

98
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.839
here on the Daily Skeptic, this
is only half a winter's worth of data.

99
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.159
We must be careful not to follow
the alarmists down their chosen political path

100
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.240
of cherry picking and of warning of
climate collapse on the basis of individual events.

101
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.320
Nevertheless, it's good to use their
own arguments against them, isn't it.

102
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.679
It's somewhat satisfying, even even though
we know these things are going through

103
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.799
cycles. And of course that was
what climate gate was all about, the

104
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.919
fact that there were cherry picking their
cycles. You know, our models are

105
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.360
not working. How do we hide
the decline in temperature because of the point

106
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.480
in time they're trying to sell global
warming? And now any unusual event,

107
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.240
you know, even it's freezing,
that'll be presented as climate change. Every

108
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.000
unusual weather event will be used to
back up their so called solutions. And

109
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.879
here's the one. They're so called
solutions, the electric cars. And this

110
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:26.399
is getting a lot of attention now
because there's more cold and there's more cars.

111
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.759
We talked about this last winter.
You remember Eric Peters had a car.

112
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.159
He couldn't get it charged. Another
person had a car, they couldn't

113
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.360
get a charge. Same type of
thing. You hook it up these superchargers,

114
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.960
but before it can begin charging the
battery, the battery has to be

115
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.960
at a certain temperature. So guess
what, you can keep this thing hooked

116
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.000
up as long as you want to. Right now, in Chicago, it

117
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.720
isn't going to charge these things.
And so they've got all these different charging

118
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.600
stations that they built with the Tesla
stuff all over the place, and they've

119
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.399
turned into car graveyards, as they
call them. Everybody gets there, they

120
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.240
can't get a charge, and their
cars are now dead. Freezing temperatures in

121
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.080
Chicago have left many unable to get
home, one person even having to get

122
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.759
his Tesla hauled to a working charging
station. Well, charging stations are working,

123
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.679
it's just that it's too cold for
them to work as created they're into

124
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.559
the negative temperatures. One person said, I was stuck here for hours.

125
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.679
There's nothing, there's no juice.
I'm still on zero percent on my battery.

126
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.679
This is like three hours being out
here after being out here three hours

127
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.000
yesterday to try to get a charge. One person said, this is crazy.

128
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.639
It's a disaster. Seriously. She
added that she had to abandon her

129
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.159
car hitch a ride with a friend
who had a what was it? Those

130
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:52.080
things what they call them, Oh, internal combustion engines. They kind of

131
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.080
work, because her car wouldn't charge. Yeah, you got to heat the

132
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.840
battery first. One person said,
we've got a bunch of dead robots out

133
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.240
here. Another individual who came back
to the airport Chicago here after traveling,

134
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:13.080
found that his car would not start. Cold had harmed the battery and made

135
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.480
it discharge faster, and then he
had to get his car towed as well.

136
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.799
One spokesperson for the Chicago Auto Trade
Association got his dig in. But

137
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.360
of course he's just telling the truth. Sometimes the truth can be very very

138
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.360
sharp sword, can it? You
know? He says, it's not plug

139
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.879
and go. You have to precondition
the battery, meaning that you have to

140
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.240
get the battery up to the optimal
temperature in order to accept a fast charge.

141
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.320
And as this article from The Express
said, down Tesla has no comment.

142
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.519
What are they going to say about
this? You know, the world

143
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.639
could get its first trillionaire within ten
years, as I said yesterday, And

144
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.159
they're saying that they think that evs
are headed towards ten thousand dollars. And

145
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.159
it's like, wow, no wonder. Elon Musk is so rich if he

146
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.720
can sell these things for you know, six times. He's been selling them

147
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.720
for six times. But he'll still
be able to sell at four and still

148
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.279
make a profit. You know,
he's not going to sell these things for

149
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.159
less than it cost him. And
so as they point out the gap between

150
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.159
the richest of the rich, as
I've said yesterday, five richest people their

151
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.279
wealth went up one hundred and fourteen
percent since the globalist lockdowns that Trump went

152
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:46.000
along with, and the poorest five
billion people took it on the chin.

153
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.200
And as they put it in this
article from AP, interestingly enough, they

154
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:58.919
put in quotation marks, the gap
has been supercharged since the coronavirus pandemic.

155
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.000
Yeah, supercharged. And they got
a picture of Musk. There Bezos,

156
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.279
Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, Elon
Musk, And of course we had our

157
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.159
first, where do we have our
first billionaire? Well, that was John

158
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.279
D. Rockefeller and that was in
nineteen sixteen. He became the first billionaire.

159
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.399
And now we're about to have our
first trillionaire. So that's how you

160
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.399
get rich is you sell these schemes
to governments that give you subsidies. And

161
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:39.600
that's what globalism is all about.
The whole thing is a conspiracy between these

162
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:46.399
large multinational corporations, these globalist billionaires, and the governments. It's a partnership.

163
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.360
It's what they call stakeholder capitalism.
It's what has been done and tested

164
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.519
and proven with the corruption in China
where all the companies that are there have

165
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.799
to have a Chinese official as part
of it. By the way, you

166
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.120
want to talk about killing people,
I'm killing them with cold is much more

167
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.120
effective. At least five people die
from hypothermia in this most recent thing,

168
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:16.039
but global freezing deaths are nine times
more common than people who die from heat.

169
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.200
And you can die from both of
these. I've talked about in the

170
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.120
past when they lost power in Florida
with a hurricane that went through, and

171
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.480
a lot of times the conditions that
create the hurricanes will also create really hot

172
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.720
muggy weather. That's what happened with
us up in North Carolina, Hurricane Friend.

173
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.320
We were so far inland, and
I've been through so many hurricanes on

174
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.039
the coast growing up in Tampa's that
kind just alarmism. And it really wasn't

175
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.360
a big storm. When it got
to the Raleigh area. We had so

176
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.080
much rain. It's unbelievable the amount
of rain that it brought. And even

177
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.639
though the winds were only seventy five
miles an hour, it was knocking over

178
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.519
big trees that were more than one
hundred years old and taking out power lines

179
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.360
everywhere and blocking roads everywhere. And
we lived in a rural area and we

180
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.320
were out of power for about five
or six days. It was unbelievably hot

181
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.759
and muggy. But in Florida,
when you had one of these hurricanes go

182
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.080
through not that long ago, you
got a lot of people in a nursing

183
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.559
home guide because they didn't have you
know, they build these buildings, you

184
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.240
know, without windows, low ceilings, build it for air conditioning, and

185
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.679
when the air conditioning goes out,
it gets really really hot. So they

186
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.200
had some people dying, but people
have been dying for a long time from

187
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.360
the hardship. And when we were
debating all this stuff back in you know,

188
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.080
two thousand and with a climate gate, and then a couple of years

189
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.639
after that, and when we got
into the fights with the renewable mandates that

190
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.919
came in first in Colorado, we
had a lawsuit with a group I was

191
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.919
working with at the time. I've
played some of the videos that I did

192
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.159
for them at the time, and
when we talked about that at that particular

193
00:15:54.240 --> 00:16:00.320
time, they'd already gone farther,
of course, and you're than we had,

194
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:07.840
and they'd made electricity so expensive that
you had German pensioners who were dying

195
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.960
of the cold because they couldn't afford
to turn on the heat, and so

196
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:18.960
hypothermia freezing kills nine times more people
than hot weather does. But in Texas

197
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:29.759
they're putting out a warning about more
energy rationing alerts. And the interesting thing

198
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.440
is one of the critics there,
you know, who were Texas, which

199
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.440
is rich in oil, of course, very rich in natural gas. But

200
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.000
from when I moved there in twenty
twelve, they were just dismantling one,

201
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.840
you know, functional power plant.
They call them fossil fuels. I call

202
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.440
them functional fuels. Whether it was
oil or whether it was gas. I

203
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.559
don't think they did that much coal
there, but they were dismantling these things

204
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.279
left and right. I was like, wow, that's not good. And

205
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.240
of course we saw the results of
that three years ago. You want to

206
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.200
talk about people dying, they had
about two hundred and fifty. I don't

207
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.599
get the numbers there. We'll get
to in a minute, about tw hundred

208
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.599
and fifty people died. And that
cold snap when the windmills froze. Guess

209
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.839
what, the windmills are frozen again. Now I'm not talking about the fact

210
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.359
that the cold weather literally iced them
up. I'm talking about the fact the

211
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.920
wind's not blowing. You know.
I began by talking about how cold it

212
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.839
is here, and they said wind
chill factor of minus fifteen, what's the

213
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.839
wind going to be zero to one
miles per hour? That's not uncommon.

214
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.640
And as one person said, it's
no secret that the wind pretty much always

215
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:48.240
does this as the temperature drops.
And if the Texas grid managers don't understand

216
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:56.440
this, then Texas needs new grid
managers. Yeah, so they don't understand

217
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.559
the wink it's really cold. It's
often the case that the wind stops,

218
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.200
you know, not always. If
you're in Chicago, they are constantly not

219
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:10.079
the wind blowing, but still Now
that's the other way that it freezes just

220
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:15.279
when the wind stops blowing. So
Urkott is a company that are the organization

221
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:23.559
that runs the power for Texas,
which stands for Electric Reliability Council of Texas

222
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.160
or a reliability. Why don't you
take that word out and then you can

223
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:34.559
change what the e coot is.
It's about energy cronies of Texas, right,

224
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.039
It's crony capitalism. It's the people
that these oil billionaires who said,

225
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.160
hey, we're going to get on
the ground floor this new thing, and

226
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.119
then we're going to ban the other
stuff, and we're going to make even

227
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.640
more money than if we just kept
selling everybody this stuff. They've been doing,

228
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.319
right, And so they got Rick
Perry and Greg Abbott these other people

229
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:59.279
to build the billions of dollars of
infrastructures there. You go out and you

230
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.000
you know, if you build it, we will come that type of thing

231
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.480
field of schemes. And they built
the infrastructure to go out there and charged

232
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.039
Texas taxpayers to do that, and
we wound up with a system there that

233
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.960
did not work orcutt continues to monitor
conditions and will provide updates or our communication

234
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.400
channels. At this time, any
outages are local in nature, not related

235
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:26.720
to the overall grid reliability. But
I said eighty five percent of the grid

236
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:33.759
supply is coming from coal, natural
gas, and nuclear. Wind was about

237
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:40.359
fifteen percent until the coal snap came, and then it dropped to seven percent

238
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.880
of the mix. Not as not
as bad as when they froze up.

239
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.000
Greg Abbott said on Friday that the
grid infrastructure and the operators are much better

240
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.720
positioned to handle the coal snap than
was the case with the twenty twenty one

241
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.200
winter storm and subsequent crisis that killed
there. We are two hundred and forty

242
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.240
people, two hundred and forty people
in just Texas. Well. I think

243
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:08.000
they still are focused on how they
can make money for the globalist billionaires,

244
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.240
don't you. As a matter of
fact, Urkott has issued their conservation appeal

245
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.240
for record breaking demand and one of
the things that they want you to do

246
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:26.799
is to not turn on your washing
machine. Is that desperate? That's desperate.

247
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.319
Many people said we're going to see
brown outs at major US cities.

248
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.759
Competition for electricity is now an unstoppable
race and you know, as one person

249
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.880
said, so why is it when
we were told and you've heard this,

250
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.680
it used to drive me nuts a
decade ago. You know. We go

251
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.279
around and again David Schneier, who
was with the organization that I was with,

252
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.920
and he had worked for the EPA
for thirty years and then retired and

253
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.720
opposed them because they were no longer
about stopping pollution, which was their original

254
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:08.279
mission, and they changed their mission
statement to stop emissions. And so he

255
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.119
would go around. He'd ask people
to say, what is your favorite form

256
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.759
of energy? And most people would
say electricity. He says, no,

257
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:23.480
that that's the end product, that's
and then anyway get to you'd explain that

258
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:30.880
to them. And then these people
would say, well, I like wind

259
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.319
and solar because they're free, and
he's like, they're not free. They're

260
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.119
really not free. It costs a
lot. It takes a lot of energy

261
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.200
to build them. It takes a
lot. You don't have a what are

262
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.759
you going to do with the broken
windmills and all the rest of this stuff.

263
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.119
But here's where we are right now. You know, one person said,

264
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.680
why do we continue to have electricity
rates going up? We have more

265
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.400
and more solar and wind, and
they're supposed to be free. Well,

266
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.359
here's the costs. Here's the cost. So the age cost per megawatt hour

267
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:07.759
for natural gas thirty eight dollars,
that's very clean. For nuclear one hundred

268
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.279
and fourteen dollars. Go from thirty
eight one hundred and fourteen. And you

269
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.079
know, growing up, I heard
the same stuff with U right now,

270
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.480
I grew up born in the mid
fifties, growing up in the sixties.

271
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:25.240
Nuclear power is going to be so
plentiful and so cheap, we won't even

272
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.039
meet it. You've probably heard that
yourself, right. They looked at it

273
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.279
and they said, yeah, you
know, we could make billions of dollars

274
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.720
on this, but nah, we'll
just do it for free. Right,

275
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.799
No, it's not cheap. And
of course the big expense for nuclear is

276
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.480
on the back end. What do
you do with a waste? You got

277
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:49.720
a store and protect and nurture your
nuclear waste for a very, very,

278
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.400
very long time. You know.
That was what happened at Fukushima. You

279
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.079
know, they didn't have a meltdown
with a nuclear reactor anything. It was

280
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:03.079
the waste pools that are typically stored
on site the nuclear reactor that were flooded

281
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.799
that cost all that issue. So
natural gas is thirty eight dollars per megawan

282
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:15.519
hour, the one hundred and fourteen
for nuclear when we're talking then this includes

283
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:22.920
storage and transmission, and then for
wind between two hundred and ninety one and

284
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:29.240
five hundred and four and for solar
four hundred and thirteen to fifteen hundred and

285
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.079
forty eight. Now, look,
you know, I think solar is a

286
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.000
good alternative, especially if you want
to get off of the grid, but

287
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.559
it's the worst alternative for the grid. It's you know, and that's all

288
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.359
matters how you use this, you
know, if you want to get independent

289
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.240
from the grid for many reasons,
for surveillance reasons, you know, and

290
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.200
all the rest of this stuff.
Yeah, solar, but not for the

291
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.240
grid. But they're using it this
way because they want to take the grid

292
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:04.559
down. And so again Urkott is
asking people not to use their washing machines

293
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:11.480
in Texas. These guys are desperate. I guess we could call these scammers

294
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.880
who wrecked the energy system there in
Texas. I guess we could call them

295
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.119
desperadoes. But there is a solution. There is a solution. And thanks

296
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.319
to the listener who sent me this, I meant to write down his name

297
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.519
and thank him for this, but
he sent me a clip of an article

298
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.400
and said, you know, you're
right. The solution to stopping this stuff

299
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.400
is at the local level. So
many people think, well, we're going

300
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.599
to elect people at the federal government, and the federal government is going to

301
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:48.039
stand up for American sovereignty against these
globalists. No, they're bought and sold

302
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.440
many times over to many different industries, to the pharmaceutical industries, to these

303
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:59.519
other industries as well. Washington is
completely bought and sold, and the people

304
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.960
in Washington are believed that they are
going to be the center of the new

305
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:07.039
world order that they're building. And
the big multinational corporations have a huge and

306
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.680
banks have a huge presence here as
well, and they are also going to

307
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.000
be partners in this new world order. So how do you stop it?

308
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:22.079
Well, stop it. Even at
the local level, green projects are often

309
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.400
blocked at the local level. This
is coming out of Michigan and so states

310
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.400
have really big climate goals. But
these people at the local level are working

311
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.200
to quote unquote strip their power.
And they're not talking. They say the

312
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.480
people at the state and federal level
and global level are working to strip your

313
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:48.079
power in terms of energy generation.
The people at local level are trying to

314
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:55.400
strip their political power to starview of
energy. And so this article says clean

315
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:03.960
energy developers had planned a seventy five
turbine wind farm in mid Michigan's Mount Montcalm

316
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:10.079
County before local voters shot down the
idea in twenty twenty two and then recalled

317
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:15.839
seven local officials who had supported it. I see this can be done in

318
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:22.839
a wide variety of these crony capitalist, corrupt schemes. And I'm talking about

319
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.119
not just when things, but here
in North Carolina. I'm not in North

320
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:33.799
Carolina, Tennessee. The battery energy
storage systems do they want to put in

321
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.680
areas where there's a lot of forests
and where there's residential areas as a massive

322
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:47.000
tesla battery backup for their renewables.
Well, you've got to have the energy

323
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.880
before you can really back it up. And if this stuff is taken down

324
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.079
by weather storm, even a battery
energy storage system isn't going to be around

325
00:26:55.079 --> 00:27:00.079
for that much longer. But nevertheless, these things are massive fire hazards and

326
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.279
their massive expenses, and they need
to be opposed at the local level.

327
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.759
And so you had opposition to that
at the local level here in Tennessee,

328
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:18.480
and in the same way, the
local people who had approved it withdrew that

329
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.359
approval, and then the company said, well, we're going to sue you

330
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:23.839
because you already approved it. So
that's going to go to the courts.

331
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:29.279
But still it is you can recall
these people if they do the wrong thing,

332
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.920
and they understand that. About one
hundred and fifty miles southeast, a

333
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.079
person in Monroe County, Michigan,
found herself at the center of a similar

334
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:42.319
conflict, as the rising medical cost
forced her and her husband to consider selling

335
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:47.160
land that her family has owned for
one hundred and fifty years. There's so

336
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.000
many different ways that they've got to
bankrupt us, isn't it. And of

337
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.200
course medical bills are a very common
one, so leasing a parcel to an

338
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.880
incoming solar farm could save the property. Neighboring residents complained so vehemently that she

339
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.279
said the township changed its zoning to
block the project. And again that brings

340
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.079
us back to the push going back
to the twenty twenty election. If you

341
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:17.240
remember Andrew Yang who was pushing universal
basic income, that was initially his sole

342
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.160
issue, and then he got onto
a lot of other issues, all of

343
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.000
them aligned with the globalist agenda,
things like getting rid of all zoning laws

344
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:32.720
and having land use dictated by the
federal government. Andrew Yang is a very

345
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:37.920
dangerous person, but he is a
puppet for the globalist And guess who gave

346
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.960
him his first money and gave him
millions of dollars. Well, that would

347
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:48.079
be your benevolent billionaire friend of the
conservative movement right now. Elon Musk,

348
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.119
another one of these billionaires that h
all these conservatives are putting their trust in.

349
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.359
They're looking at him as some kind
of a philanthropist that has saved our

350
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:02.200
free speech and all the rest of
this stuff. He's I think he looked

351
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:07.839
at these I think he looked at
these maga people, and you take a

352
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.680
look at expressions on their faces.
They are fawning over a president drop.

353
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.160
But he goes, Yeah, there's
a lot of suckers there that I could

354
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:17.799
make a power base out of,
and I could really fleece them as well.

355
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.279
And he's doing a good job of
it. Getting back to this,

356
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:27.079
though, local restrictions in Michigan derailed
more than two dozen utility renewable energy projects

357
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.920
as of last May, two dozen. According to a study that was done

358
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.440
by a university that's trying to push
this stuff. They said nationwide, at

359
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:45.400
least two and twenty eight restrictions in
thirty five states have been imposed at the

360
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.960
local level to stop these projects.
So you're not going to get any help

361
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.839
from the FEDS. And you may
find, depending on your state government,

362
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:57.400
you may find that the state government
aligns with the FEDS as well, which

363
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:04.599
is what they're seeing here now.
In so again, forget about this horse

364
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:12.559
race between deplorable characters in Washington.
Focus on what's local. Local and state

365
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:21.599
can make things better or much worse. The conflicts have hindered many states aggressive

366
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:27.319
timelines for transitioning to cleaner energy production, with the ultimate goal of eliminating carbon

367
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:33.359
pollution within two decades. We have
to eliminate these people, we have to

368
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.720
have They've got their zeros right.
They want to zero so many things out,

369
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.039
zero car use and all the rest
of this stuff. We need to

370
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.079
zero out their mandates. Maybe that
should be the name of the movement,

371
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.000
the zero mandate movement. Michigan and
more than a dozen other states are seeking

372
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:59.559
to upend the decision making process by
grabbing the power to supersede local restrictions and

373
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.119
to allign while state authorities to approve
or disapprove locations for utility state utility scale

374
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:11.000
projects. So again, what are
they going to do? Political power struggle

375
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.640
is a power struggle. We're not
going to have electric power if they get

376
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.799
the political power. That's their mission
to shut us down everywhere. We can't

377
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:25.240
allow projects of state wide importance critical
to our state energy security to be vetoed

378
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:30.160
on purely local concerns. Again,
is going to be necessary because they're going

379
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.119
to be fought against at the state
level. It's going to be necessary for

380
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:41.640
people to understand that your real energy
security lies in stopping these projects. And

381
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.359
that's why it is now the time
to talk about this during a massive storm.

382
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.440
You want to have energy, you
stop these projects that are sold as

383
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:55.799
energy security. They're anything but they
said. However, many local officials say

384
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:01.440
the giving states the power to cite
large scale energy projects clashes with cherished US

385
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:08.480
political principles. That's right and with
the law is right now. Local officials,

386
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:14.440
they say, are the public servants
who are closest and most directly accountable

387
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.759
to voters. They argue that it
is especially important when it comes to land

388
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:23.240
use and what gets built near homes, and so they admit right there,

389
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:31.359
they're the ones who are closest to
the voters and what most accountable to them.

390
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.000
One thing Elon must Did said was
right. He said, look sourus

391
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.400
is getting these district attorneys in and
these state attorneys generals, because that's far

392
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.519
more effective way to change the country
than spending money on a presidential election.

393
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:51.160
And the more local you get,
the more accountable these people are, the

394
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.440
more power you have. That's why
I try to keep focusing on this.

395
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.039
I can't tell you who's good or
bad in your area. You're going to

396
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.920
figure that out. Be any good
people in your area, So find some

397
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.440
good ones and support them, or
run yourself and get other people to support

398
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.200
you. But when we look at
this, of course, the windmills,

399
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:13.680
it's not just the fact that they
don't work. The windmills of your mind

400
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.519
also collapse, catch fire and other
things. As I've shown many times,

401
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:24.880
there's one turbine in Colorado wind farm
collapses and then burst into flames. It

402
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.000
really got people's attention because it's really
big, and it had a really big

403
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.160
crash and a really big fire.
Because everything look at the size of that

404
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.519
thing compared to the trucks in front
of it. Pickup truck in front of

405
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.400
it looks like a little toy truck. So I guess we haul this thing

406
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:45.119
off now to the landfill because reuse
recycle doesn't work with this. But of

407
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.839
course, see so called environmentalists don't
care about that. While we're talking about

408
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.079
fires. This is sent to me
by David Weatherby, who used to be

409
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.519
in Canada. He said Toronto,
and it's an article from Toronto. The

410
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:04.480
fire chief warns of lithium on battery
risk after an e bike fire on the

411
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.719
subway. On the subway, I
think the fire chief is going to have

412
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:13.480
to tell him we don't want to
have any e bikes, no molotov cocktails

413
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:17.360
or other flammable devices on board the
subway. Can you imagine being on a

414
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.239
subway and having one of these things
that burst into fire. So the fire

415
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.199
was caused by the failure of a
lithium ion battery powering an e bike.

416
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.199
It was put out by fire crews
on Sunday afternoon. The fires that resulted

417
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:34.960
from the failures of lithium ion batteries
represent a significant risk, said the fire

418
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.280
chief. Matthew Peg. When lithium
ion batteries fail and ignite, the response

419
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:43.559
is an intense, rapidly developing fire
that poses an immediate risk to anyone in

420
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:45.880
the area. If it doesn't burn
you to death, the fire is toxic.

421
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.840
Of course, there's been an increase
in these. He said, there

422
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:54.599
were fifty five fires in the city
last year the resulted from lithium ion battery

423
00:34:54.599 --> 00:35:00.199
failures, up from twenty nine the
year before. Because they have so many

424
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.840
more of these things that are out
there, and so the bottom line,

425
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:14.280
we'll finish with us this headline from
zero Hedge seeking green utopia. The US

426
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:22.880
and the EU are quietly killing vital
industries, even trying to kill our victuals

427
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:30.119
our food right eats the bugs.
German CO two emissions are the lowest since

428
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:37.480
the nineteen fifties. So is this
a success or is it a failure?

429
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:44.960
Well, here's what Bill Gates thinks. I'm here in July, and of

430
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.960
course I flew in on my private
jet, very very important meeting. The

431
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:57.320
issue of you peasants eating bugs will
be discussed at length. That's never gotten

432
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:02.000
the attention it deserves. The issue
of COVID nineteen not killing off enough poor

433
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.599
people, and my vaccines not weeding
out the rest of you bastards, which

434
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.519
is a trashedy. Of course,
we'll talk about using killer robots next chat.

435
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:16.519
Absolutely solve that problem. Yeah,
there are some good uses for AI,

436
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.920
aren't there. We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles on

437

439
00:36:35.360 --> 00:38:17.400

the David Knight Show. And I played

440
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.119
that at that point in time because
I had a supporter who asked me about

441
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.199
that song. Paul d thank you
very much for the check. I've got

442
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.159
a list of some other people who
have sent checks. I want to read

443
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.599
that out real quickly, about ten
people. But he said, what's the

444
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:39.199
name of the mandolin composition? Well, that that you just heard there is

445
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:45.360
Heart of the Heartland as by Paul
Astrucca. I think is the way he

446
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:51.519
pronounced his name. He was somebody
that would make the rounds on PBS,

447
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:53.559
the Prairie Home Companion, I think. But it was because of that,

448
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:59.000
I guess it was. Ken Burns
picked him up and he used that song

449
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:05.440
in the and Clark documentary that he
did. That's where I picked that up.

450
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:07.880
Really like that song, so that's
my cover of it. I stuck

451
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.480
very close to what he did,
except I had to shorten it. I

452
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.679
shortened up a little bit. I
tried to shorten these things up, you

453
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.119
know, for the breaks, and
so there's like another verse that he does

454
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:25.039
in his arrangement that has a slide
guitar in it, but I took that

455
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:30.239
out and then I added strings on
the finale there. But I played all

456
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:36.480
the instruments on that and pull that
off of the record, and then he

457
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.880
asked, what keyboard do you use. I'm just curious. It's a yeah.

458
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.079
I don't even remember the name of
it. I've had it for years

459
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.599
now, but it's a mini keyboard. It's weighted keyboard, and so if

460
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:51.199
you play piano, that's what you
want to get. Otherwise it feels like

461
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:57.519
an organ. So it's an eighty
eight key weighted keyboard. It's my native

462
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:01.840
instruments and I got it at the
time because they were so at the time

463
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:08.039
that was kind of the standard for
virtual instruments, although they've moved. Everybody

464
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:13.880
I guess got tired of paying them
royalties, and so everybody is building their

465
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:21.000
own construct to use for the virtual
instruments. But at that time it had

466
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.159
a few things on it that made
it work a little bit better with the

467
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.599
native instruments stuff. So it's a
native instruments weighted keyboards, eighty eight keys.

468
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:37.599
But it's great because you can get
amazing samples of keyboards that you can

469
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:42.400
find, you know, from organs
to pianos to electric pianos and other keyboards

470
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:46.199
from the seventies and things like that
that are really really sound great and have

471
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.800
a lot of flexibility in them,
and get him and B three organs,

472
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:52.760
or you can get Church organs and
all this other kind of stuff. The

473
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:58.159
controls, of course, are not
going to be exactly as good as the

474
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:05.159
organs on the control was on a
the Hymmon, but you know you can.

475
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.519
You've got a lot of different changes
that you can make with it.

476
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.760
Thank you. Oh, Karen told
me that it was a complete keyboard.

477
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:16.159
Okay, well that's I guess the
model that they've got of it. But

478
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.920
let me think the people who sent
checks real quickly. Of course, Paul

479
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:25.599
d that we just mentioned Susan L. Jack H Scott C. Leon and

480
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:30.400
Glinda W, Jody E, Lloyd
P and Charlie at APS. Thank you

481
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:37.639
all. And by the way,
Alexander W he sent some money with Zell

482
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.079
and he wasn't sure if it was
getting through and he asked me to mention

483
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:43.760
that I got it. I've not
put together a list of all the people

484
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:46.360
on ZEL, but thank you very
much, Alexander. That was very generous.

485
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:50.960
I appreciate it and we did get
it through Zell, so thank you.

486
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.039
And I would say that you know
the money that we get through checks

487
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:58.800
and through Zell, there is no
fee attached to that like there are other

488
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.239
things, but it is still very
important for us. If you want to

00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:20.679
find all that at Ddavidnightshow dot com
and of course you can find links to

493
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.119
the show and audio format as well
as where we post it in video formats

494
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:34.119
on Bitch Shoot, on Odyssey and
on Rumble and links to the live show

495
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.280
and so you'll find all that there
as well. As links to the podcast,

496
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:42.119
because I found that when I go
to the podcast, I don't really

497
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:45.000
show up if I type it in
there, so it's very hard for me

498
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:50.000
to find the show on the various
podcasts. There's so many different podcasts out

499
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.920
there, so it would be a
big help to us if you listen on

500
00:42:54.440 --> 00:43:00.639
podcasts to like the podcast, even
leave a nice comment. That would help

501
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.079
a great deal, might help with
our visibility there, who knows. Let's

502
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:08.719
talk a little bit about news before
we get into pharmaceutical stuff and elections.

503
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:13.199
This is just kind of general stuff. I thought this is very interesting,

504
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:17.039
sent to me again by listener,
and it is the fact that FEDS are

505
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:23.800
banning humorous electronic messages on highways.
Now many times we've seen these. Here's

506
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:30.800
what this went with the article the
news thing there. This is part of

507
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:35.159
the sign thing. And you've seen
these things hacked in the past where they'll

508
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:39.599
put warning zombies ahead or warning raptors
ahead, or something like this, or

509
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:45.480
a message like this. I won't
repeat, but you get the idea.

510
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:49.320
That's what the signs look like,
right. There are other big signs up

511
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:51.800
above, but they're the ones that
are on the road. Sign and the

512
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:54.519
reason that happens all the time.
I know, because they did a little

513
00:43:54.559 --> 00:44:02.760
bit of work for the North Carolina
Department of Transportation with a company and they

514
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.519
we're laughing about what happened. It
happened to them a lot. They put

515
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:13.079
these signs out and they never change
the passcode. And oh, by the

516
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.880
way, Paul d said, please
more goat Tree and that forgot to read

517
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.760
that. That reminded me of goat
Tree because he's talking about the fact that

518
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:25.760
they typically don't change the passwords on
railroad switching equipment or anything like that,

519
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:31.159
which is far more serious. And
if they do change the password, they'll

520
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.880
typically write it in some booth somewhere, right so they don't forget it and

521
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:42.559
becomes a hassle. So typically they
put these signs out there and they're still

522
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:44.760
the same password that it ships with. Then of course, if you've got

523
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:50.280
the manual, you can see what
the default password that it ships with is.

524
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.159
And so they've been doing that as
hackers. Okay, doing that quite

525
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:59.519
a bit, But that's not about
this. This is about the federal government

526
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:07.119
telling the departments of transportation in each
individual state that they can't put up humorous

527
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:15.400
messages. For example, in Massachusetts
that put up use yablinka right y A

528
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:22.519
h B l I N kah in
Massachusetts or in Ohio this one visiting in

529
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:28.440
laws, slow down, get there
late. It's just telling you don't speed

530
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:37.039
right in Pennsylvania, don't drive star
spangled hammered that don't drive drunk. Another

531
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:44.960
one in New Jersey hocus pocus,
drive with focus. And then this one

532
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:50.480
hands on the wheel, not on
your meal. Well, the FEDS don't

533
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:53.639
like that. And we're talking serious
stuff here, right, you need to

534
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:59.119
be serious with your directives. And
as this new directive that has come out

535
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:04.480
from the Department and a Transportation of
Federal Highway Administration, which is part of

536
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:09.039
the Department Transportation, which is who
runs the US Department Transportation, none other

537
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:15.199
than Booty Gay himself, and he
apparently doesn't have any sense of humor about

538
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.159
this stuff. They put out an
eleven hundred page manual and it spells out

539
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:25.159
the rules of how signs and other
traffic control devices are regulated. Administration officials

540
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:31.800
said overhead electronic signs with obscure meaning
references to pop culture are those intended to

541
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:37.079
be funny, will be banned by
twenty twenty six. They're giving you just

542
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.960
a couple of years to get wipe
that smile off of your face. I

543
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:46.559
suggest that what these what these state
officials should put on the sign is something

544
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:51.519
like Bart Simpson, I will not
make jokes. I will not make jokes.

545
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:54.880
I will not get through that up
there a hundreds of times before they

546
00:46:55.239 --> 00:47:00.480
pull the plug on him in twenty
twenty six. And as of course,

547
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:07.679
the government doesn't have any sense of
irony or even hypocrisy when they put out

548
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.320
an eleven hundred page manual, and
in this they demand that these signs be

549
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:16.119
simple, direct, brief, legible
and clear. That's what the eleven hundred

550
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:23.920
page manual tells him. And don't
make any jokes. This is idious stuff

551
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.320
here, right, I mean,
come on, really, would Adolf Hitler

552
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:34.000
make jokes? Or Mussolini or Stalin? And they don't like people who laugh

553
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.679
at them either, Right, that's
the key thing. Arizona has more than

554
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:39.599
three hundred electric signs above its highways, and for the last seven years,

555
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:45.519
the state Department of Transportation has held
a contest to find the funniest and most

556
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:49.920
creative messages anybody could submit ideas,
and they got more than thirty seven hundred

557
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:54.559
entries. Last year, the winners
were seat belts always pass a vibe check

558
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:01.000
that doesn't seem to be too funny, and I'm just to sign asking drivers

559
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:07.239
to use turn signals. And so
a state representative there said, the humor

560
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:08.239
part of it we kind of like
to have. And he says, I

561
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:15.039
don't really understand why the feds are
all getting so fussy about this, said,

562
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:16.679
why are you trying to have the
federal government come in and tell us

563
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:21.039
what we can and cannot do in
our own state? Prime example that the

564
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:25.719
federal government is not focusing on what
they need to be focused on. Well,

565
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:31.519
again, how is the federal government
going to put out their mandate for

566
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:36.320
no jokes? No jokes? And
seriously, you know they don't have a

567
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:37.760
sense of humor. Look, we've
got a guy who got a jail sentence

568
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:44.360
over Hillary Clinton meme, and it
was exactly the same joke that somebody else

569
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:49.480
had made about Trump and voting.
He made that same joke about Hillary and

570
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:51.800
voting. You know, don't forget
to vote on Wednesday, you know,

571
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.159
the day after the election. Somebody
else had already done that with Trump.

572
00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:00.360
But of course the person made the
joke about Hillary gets a jail. The

573
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.480
other person doesn't even get called on
that. And so how are the Fed's

574
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:08.000
going to get this done? They
don't have the authority to do this.

575
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.519
The Tenth Amendment is in their way. So how will they do it?

576
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.400
Well, they'll do it the same
way that Obama put boys in the girls

577
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.760
bathroom, with bribes and with blackmail, with cash. They'll do it the

578
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:23.480
same way that Trump locked everybody down, put masks on your faces, and

579
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:29.360
so forth. They'll do it with
bribes, and then later Biden jumps in

580
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.800
with blackmail. It's always about the
money. That is always how the government

581
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.679
gets around the Tenth Amendment. And
that's why when they planned this whole thing,

582
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:43.519
going back to two thousand and one, two months before nine to eleven

583
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:45.079
they had the Dark Winter thing,
and then the false flag a week after

584
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:49.760
nine to eleven of anthrax, and
then two months later they put out the

585
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:55.159
Model State Health Emergency Powers Act,
and that was telling the states, get

586
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:59.239
ready to do this. Give yourself
some legal authority that you don't have,

587
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.239
but make it, you know,
put it in a state law, because

588
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.159
there's going to be a time where
we're going to punt this to you.

589
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:09.239
We'll give you the money and then
you run the tyranny. That's how it's

590
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:16.119
always done. This is what is
so frustrating about talking to these Trump supporters

591
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:21.639
and just you look at their you
know, the people on social media.

592
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.119
You listen to them talking. They
hate the JAB, they hate all the

593
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:30.480
lockdowns and the masks and all the
rest of the stuff that's social distancing from

594
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:34.320
twenty twenty. But they love the
guy who gave it to him. It's

595
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:38.920
insane in Toronto, before we do
that, some of the comments on weather

596
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:45.039
Rumble sixty one. I've been locked. I've been iced in since Saturday morning.

597
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:50.079
Power is currently off and water has
been off for four days. Oh

598
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.400
sorry to hear that. I don't
know. Tell us where you are.

599
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:58.920
On rock Fan, Handy says it's
cold and flu season. Nothing abnormal about

600
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.159
that. Hospitality ours are moderately busy, but again not abnormal this time of

601
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:09.119
year. And of course Handy has
been talking about and blogging about what he

602
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:15.239
saw as an EMS technician there in
the Atlanta area, and it truly is

603
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.760
criminal what was done to us.
It's so much bigger than even just the

604
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:25.079
masks and the lockdowns, as the
medical protocols, the bribery of the hospitals

605
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:30.000
to kill people, and of course
the drugs like remdas of air and the

606
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.000
ventilators and the rest of the stuff. Rumble point man Patriot says, it

607
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.320
will be of little avail to the
people that laws are made by men of

608
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:42.800
their own choice if the laws be
so volumeous that they cannot be read,

609
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:49.039
or so incoherent that they cannot be
understood. Absolutely right, And he quotes

610
00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:52.440
somebody. I don't know who that
is, Jay Maddy, but I've always

611
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.280
and I don't know who said this
quote, but I've used that many times.

612
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.840
A law that is sufficiently complex is
the same as no law at all.

613
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.360
Just take a look at the IRS
Code, right called the IRS.

614
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.159
I'm not giving you advice. I'm
not jumping into that briar patch. I

615
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.559
don't know what the law is either. I'm not telling you anything. You're

616
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:19.079
not going to get my name and
use me to give you a pass.

617
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:22.320
But then when you go in for
an audit, Oh wow, it's all

618
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:27.159
very subjective, isn't it. Do
they like you or they dislike you?

619
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:31.119
Because the law is so complex,
they can do whatever they want. In

620
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:37.880
Toronto. Going back to Toronto again, they have banned tobogganing on forty five

621
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:42.599
hills and put up a warning warning
signs. Well, that's pretty amazing.

622
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:45.840
You know, the Roman Empire only
had seven hills there in Rome. They

623
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:50.079
got forty five in Toronto, and
you better not slide down any of them

624
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:52.760
during the winter. It's just from
Reason magazine talk about a slippery slope.

625
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:58.320
They said Toronto recently erected warning signs
on forty five hills around the city that

626
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:06.639
read tobogganing is not allowed. Hazards
such as trees, stumps, rocks,

627
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:15.360
rivers or roads make this hill unsafe. Well, when we had our video

628
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:19.360
story and carry North Carolina, you
know, it's kind of like it is

629
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:23.320
here. We rarely have snowstorms,
and when they do sometimes they last for

630
00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:27.880
a few days. But even if
it doesn't, because people are not accustomed

631
00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:30.159
to the snow and there's no snow
removal equipment and nobody knows how to drive

632
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:37.360
in it, everything comes to a
halt. And so close to our video

633
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:42.199
store was there was a neighborhood that
had a very steep hill going down into

634
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:45.840
a cul de sac and school was
out and nobody was driving around, but

635
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:50.280
the parents were out as well,
and they were there with their kids and

636
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.320
you know, the kids were having
a great time sledding down this hill.

637
00:53:53.119 --> 00:54:00.960
And again parents all over the place, and the carry police decided in those

638
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:04.800
days, they're probably still the same
as they didn't have much of anything to

639
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:07.679
do as far as crime goes,
so they could kind of become like Barney

640
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:14.079
Fife, you know, get focused
on really small things and you know,

641
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:17.800
really get their the hair on the
back of their neck standing straight up if

642
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.599
you didn't do exactly what they said
to do when they bark the orders.

643
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.559
And so they show up to this
hill and they decided, like the City

644
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:30.719
of Toronto's decided that it was too
dangerous for these kids to be boggling down

645
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:36.280
you know, car might come by
and don't don't do that. And the

646
00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:38.679
parents said, now they're fine.
Now I told you that you're not going

647
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:45.039
to have these kids out here going
down here. And it got it wound

648
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:51.360
up with the parents and the and
the kids throwing stoneballs at the police and

649
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:58.519
driving them away, and that made
the paper there it was, but you

650
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.159
know, that's that's just what they're
doing in Toronto now. That was thirty

651
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:07.079
eight years ago, and Carrie so
now in Toronto, the fear of liability

652
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:12.960
is ruining modern childhood, I said
a mom of two. I used to

653
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:15.280
toboggan all the time with friends when
I was a kid, and it was

654
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:19.280
one of my favorite parts about winter. Well, you know, you shoot

655
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:24.159
your eye out, kid. There
are too many nanny rules aimed at making

656
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:28.840
the world so safe that people and
especially kids, are not allowed to do

657
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:30.840
anything outdoors but sit on a bench. Oh no, no, don't sit

658
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:37.119
on a bench outside it's too cold. Go inside, set in front of

659
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:39.960
the TV so we can program you. Not only do kids lose out when

660
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:43.719
trees become an obstacled out to our
fund says reason, but so does the

661
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:49.800
city itself. Anti tobogganing legislation makes
Toronto move in the direction of no fun

662
00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:57.880
city again, no jokes on signs, no tobogganing allowed anywhere. Last year,

663
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.800
the city put up bales of hay
around tree on the Popular Hill to

664
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:07.280
avoid crashes. Now tobogganing is banned
on that hill. Of course, it

665
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:13.400
reminds me of the other extreme Daytona
beach where you know, And I've got

666
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.679
a clip of that that I play
here sometimes And I was just amazed,

667
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:21.960
and we went there. In twenty
fifteen, I had grown up and next

668
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.679
to this area where I live now, that was our next go to place

669
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.039
to take a trip. It was
fairly close. We lived in Tampas,

670
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:32.719
that just right across the state.
And one of the reasons that we like

671
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:37.719
Daytona Beach was because you could drive
cars on the beach, and of course

672
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:40.320
that's where the Daytona five hundred race
originally came from. It was originally a

673
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:45.400
race on the beach. They had
one leg of the race was on the

674
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:50.679
beach that has hard compressed sand,
a return leg was on the road,

675
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:52.800
a highway that was there a one
to a I think is the name of

676
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:58.039
it. And then you had the
curve parts where it was really soft sand,

677
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:00.880
and that's where things got really difficult
for them. But now they don't

678
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:04.920
let anybody, even though people were
racing on this thing for the longest time

679
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:08.280
before they built the stadium or whatever
you would call it, that's purpose built

680
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:13.679
for the Daytona five hundred, they
don't let any how to drive on that

681
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:19.559
and they charge you to drive in
other areas that are far away from it.

682
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:21.920
And when I say far away from
it, the center of it was

683
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.280
always the boardwalk, which was an
elevated place and had a lot of restaurants

684
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:30.360
and things like that. So but
people would always drive there. That was

685
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:31.840
kind of the center of it,
although there were hotels all the way down.

686
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:37.039
And so this is what happening everywhere, right, no fund anywhere locking

687
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:42.760
everything down. I think it's a
sign what's going on here, isn't it.

688
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:45.519
Last year the city put up bill
to hey, but I'm not gonna

689
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:49.119
do it now. Memories of a
fun place have been yanked away from families

690
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:52.039
in Toronto, said one person.
It's not just a boggining. Toronto's team

691
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:59.039
of experts advice is that anyone crazy
enough to even think about going sledding always

692
00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:02.960
check for hazard. It's like bumps
and bear spots, as well as ice

693
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:07.840
covered areas, so that pretty much
covers everything, doesn't it. As they

694
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:15.599
say on reason, The city also
warns any not yet daunted tobogganers to never

695
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.519
use a plastic disc to slide down
a hill, and don't bring your family

696
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:24.559
dog either, as animals may get
excited. All children should be supervised by

697
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:30.880
an adult. No humans or animals
are to be excited or to have any

698
00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:37.880
fun whatsoever. Well, here,
the other part of domination, of course,

699
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:44.559
is language and perching things. What
is that you found out? Okay,

700
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:46.880
there we go. There's a professionals, the Boginer, the clip that

701
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:52.159
Travis found. What's that from Travis? I don't remember. Oh, Christmas

702
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:57.599
vacation. Okay, I haven't watched
that for a while. That's Chevy Jason.

703
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:01.960
The thing somehow has missed all the
trees so far. But we know

704
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:07.039
how that's going to be in anyway. It's also about dominating people and removing

705
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:14.679
history and also naming things right,
and that's what they're working on here in

706
00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:20.639
the Smoky Mountains. They want to
rename Klingman's Dome. Klingman's Dome is the

707
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:27.199
highest peak in the Smokies. And
thank you Jackie for sending this to me.

708
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:32.920
I've not seen this. The Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council wants

709
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.960
to rename Klingman's Dome, and Jackie
comments and says, I'm fine with this

710
00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:43.679
as long as they cut off their
utilities, crush their cars, stop using

711
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:46.320
modern medicine, and go back to
living in teepees. Well, Jackie,

712
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:51.800
that's what they want us to do
with the climate, of course, and

713
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.400
they'll change the name of everything as
well. They voted unanimously, the tribal

714
00:59:55.400 --> 01:00:04.079
council did on a resolution to approve
a name change from Klingman's Dome to Kuwohee

715
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:10.199
and they passed that vote on January
the fourth. That is a Cherokee for

716
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:15.760
Mulberry place. But I think there
may be something else involved in this.

717
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:28.039
I thought in this article that was
done local paper, they don't say who

718
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:31.440
was Klingman, right, I think
there might be some clues as to why

719
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:37.880
they want to rename this peak.
See. Klingman was a US senator who,

720
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:43.639
when the Civil War came around,
fought on the side of the Confederacy

721
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:47.199
as a brigadier general as a matter
of fact, and then after the war

722
01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:54.920
he led an expedition to determine the
height of Klingman's Dome. And it was

723
01:00:54.960 --> 01:01:00.480
something of a tradition that the people
who would figure out the height of these

724
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:07.320
things would have it named after them, and that's what happened with this particular

725
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:10.599
one. You know, it was
something that the Cherokee never bothered to measure

726
01:01:10.599 --> 01:01:15.599
the height of these things, as
they're just collecting the Mulberry's I guess,

727
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:19.880
but you know, they figure out
the height of it, they named the

728
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:23.440
hill after them, or the dome
or the mountain peak. And he's not

729
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:30.079
the only one that did that.
There was another guy who was a geologist

730
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:34.679
and his name was Buckley, and
he figured out the height of the second

731
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:40.000
highest peak there in the Smoky Mountains, and they named that Mount Buckley.

732
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:46.559
And so maybe they will try to
change that as well. But right now

733
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:51.199
they're coming after the one that was
named after a Confederate general. I think

734
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.760
we kind of know why and which
is. You know, the Cherokee were

735
01:01:53.760 --> 01:02:00.039
on the side of the Confederacy during
the Civil War. Follows in a tradition

736
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:08.760
from the US Department of the Interior, they renamed Mount McKinley Mount Denali because

737
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:13.719
that was an Indian name that they
had out there. So we'll see what

738
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:17.239
happens with this. County commissioners in
both Tennessee and North Carolina support the efforts

739
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:22.360
of the Cherokee to rename this because
I guess these local politicians decided that this

740
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:30.119
was not a hill to die on. But we've got zoning board orders that

741
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:37.159
are being overturned. I'm sorry,
zoning boards are overturning private property that is

742
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:43.000
happening. This is also a reason
magazine. A town zoning board in New

743
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:50.239
Hampshire has decided that they're going to
kick out to tenants who have been living

744
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:54.679
in an apartment for more than a
decade and they're not wealthy. I mean,

745
01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:58.119
this is not like some kind of
a rent control thing in New York.

746
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:06.440
This was a cluster of small apartments
and there were thirteen of them,

747
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:13.119
and because they suddenly discovered last summer
that according to their records, there were

748
01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:21.400
twelve and now they're thirteen. At
some point decades ago, they subdivided one

749
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:23.599
of these small apartments and so these
two people who are going to get kicked

750
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:30.440
out on the street had five hundred
square foot apartments, very tiny apartments.

751
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.800
They took one of these small apartments
and cut it in half, and they've

752
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:38.440
been living there for ten weeks.
But of course that cannot be tolerated.

753
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:44.960
The real estate investor homes the apartments
said, we have a major housing crisis,

754
01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:47.679
and we've got a severe shortage of
housing around the state and in this

755
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:52.239
town of Claremont. But by the
city's request, we have to kick two

756
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:57.880
tenants out who have been there for
many, many years, and who have

757
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:03.880
called it their home for more than
a decade. And so these are one

758
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:09.280
hundred year old buildings. And then
again they subdivided them. The response from

759
01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:13.800
the zoning board was said, yeah, we are in a housing crunch,

760
01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:19.880
but that doesn't mean we can bend
our codes because their rules are more important

761
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:25.239
than people. Of course, their
authority, their power is more important than

762
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:27.960
people. If I was to make
an exception for you, I'd have to

763
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.320
do that for everybody. That would
weaken my power. It kind of make

764
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:32.480
me look like a human or something. I don't know what it is.

765
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:39.440
Here in Tennessee, lawmakers are proposing
legislation banning banks and credit card companies from

766
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:45.039
tracking purchases of guns and ammo.
Well, what is this about. We've

767
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:51.119
talked about this in the past,
and this is another aspect of nullification,

768
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:58.079
folks, very important. This nullification
is being done at the state level,

769
01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:01.000
and sorry been done in some other
states, but it's coming here in Tennessee.

770
01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:10.159
It was in response to New York
State trying to nullify your guide given

771
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:15.239
rights to own and possess firearms and
ammunition as protected by the Constitution. And

772
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:19.559
how did New York State do it. They did it in collusion with big

773
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:29.679
banks and with multinational in geos,
non governmental organizations. What they did if

774
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:31.719
you remember that a few years ago, they came up with a scheme.

775
01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:36.760
New York Attorney General California Attorney General
said, you know, if we can

776
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:43.119
put a code on and get them
to make this part of the standard codes.

777
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:49.199
This is the International Standards Organization ISO
based in Switzerland, and they assigned

778
01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:53.920
codes to different things that are used
for financial transactions. If we can do

779
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:58.679
that, there wasn't anything there for
guns or ammunition, because you know,

780
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:02.920
it's pretty much controlled in the rest
of the world, so it's pretty difficult

781
01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:06.639
to buy guns and ammunition, but
here in the US it's very common,

782
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:12.599
and so they wanted to stop people
from doing that. So they lobbied the

783
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:17.119
banks, and the banks lobbied the
ISO, and they got it put in.

784
01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:23.159
And so what was a response to
and that was again an effort led

785
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:30.840
by people like Letitia James that hyper
political state attorney general. Look at how

786
01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:39.079
much chaos and manipulation money can buy
from George Soros. When you look at

787
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:42.920
these people, that tells you how
important these state and local elections are.

788
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:48.199
And so you have a state that
tries to do this in run around the

789
01:06:48.199 --> 01:06:53.440
Second Amendment, making it difficult using
banks and international organizations. And so some

790
01:06:53.559 --> 01:07:00.760
other states have responded to this by
putting in these prohibitions of the banks keeping

791
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:05.760
track of that. So they outlawed
that and in their state area. And

792
01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:10.559
so now you've got two state reps. In Tennessee, Todd Warner is in

793
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:16.639
the House and in the Senate.
Joey Hensley introduced legislation last Wednesday that would

794
01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:21.039
prohibit banks, credit card companies,
and other financial institutions from cracking purchases of

795
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:26.000
firearms. And of course they want
to do this as part of an intimidation

796
01:07:26.199 --> 01:07:32.119
and also as part of the surveillance
state. So the state bill would make

797
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:39.639
it quote an unfair or deceptive trade
practice for any financial institution to require a

798
01:07:39.719 --> 01:07:46.559
firearms retailer to use firearms specific transaction
codes. And again the industry, or

799
01:07:46.559 --> 01:07:53.079
I should say New York I created
this new credit card merchant category recently,

800
01:07:53.599 --> 01:08:00.639
and this was previously paused in March
of last year, companies including American Express,

801
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:05.679
master Card, and Visa abandoning their
plans after legislation banning the tracking of

802
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:12.480
those who buy and sell weapons and
ammunition passed in several states Mississippi, Oklahoma,

803
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:15.520
Texas, Florida, West Virginia.
The Tenth Amendment Center notes that similar

804
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:24.039
legislation also exists in Idaho, North
Dakota, and Montana. And so you've

805
01:08:24.079 --> 01:08:27.960
got one, two, three,
four, five states said you're not going

806
01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:30.319
to do it here, and now
we've got another four that are about to

807
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:35.279
do it. This is what's called
nullification, and this is how you nullify

808
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:43.079
the globalist agenda. This is how
you nullify the conspiracies of these bankers and

809
01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:48.840
these democrats and these NGOs. So
federal lawmakers, we're very happy with this.

810
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:55.039
When it went through, they said, quote a clear government expectation that

811
01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:59.960
networks will utilize the new merchant category
code to conduct mass surveillance of constitutionally protected

812
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:06.039
farms and ammunition purchases in cooperation with
law enforcement. That's what they had previously

813
01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:11.520
said. The more states that ban
such codes more likely as this program gets

814
01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:18.760
scrapped permanently, says the Tenth Amendment
Center. Have you heard any presidential candidates

815
01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:25.760
talk about that in this any GOP
or did they say, you know,

816
01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:31.439
we've got to stop this globalist banker
agenda from the Democrats to track and intimidate

817
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:36.159
people and create a database that people
are buying guns and ammunition amy even if

818
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:41.359
you went into a gun and ammunition
store, even if you didn't buy ammunition

819
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:44.720
or a gun, they still pitt
you on the list. Have you heard

820
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:48.520
any of the presidential candidates address that
me? Neither? Isn't that interesting?

821
01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:57.720
So many vital issues, they're a
wall a wall, and so this is

822
01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:06.640
why I say focus on state and
local people. Get good people into office,

823
01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:13.319
so they're not even going to talk
about it. If you want liberty,

824
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:17.600
you're going to have to decentralize the
power. You're going to stop this

825
01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:23.000
consolidation of power and this centralization that's
been going on for quite some time.

826
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:27.439
After the move to adopt the new
merchant codes when public in twenty twenty three,

827
01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:35.680
the Tennessee Farms Association said consumers should
pay cash whenever possible, and if

828
01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:40.920
you can trade chickens for them,
trade chickens, if you can write a

829
01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:44.960
check and avoid that three percent surcharge
that a lot of merchants now charge for

830
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:48.199
using a credit card, or they
charge even more than that. Some save

831
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:54.159
everybody three percent. But absolutely if
you can avoid the credit card, just

832
01:10:54.239 --> 01:10:59.520
like Dave Ramsey says, do it, so trade them a chicken or whatever

833
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:03.479
you can your gun. So,
but we were already seen Bank of America

834
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:10.720
do this right even before Letitia James, going back to January sixth, they

835
01:11:10.760 --> 01:11:15.520
put out a They essentially did their
own geofense warrant. The FBI didn't asked

836
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:20.079
them for the information. Bank of
America did it voluntarily and sent that to

837
01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:23.520
them. And then they sent a
list to them and said, then here

838
01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:29.960
are all the people who have made
purchases at a firearms place. They didn't

839
01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:33.319
even have the code. Bank of
America did that. So this story here

840
01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:38.640
from Reclaim the Note with how a
typo and a geofense warrant endangered the privacy

841
01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:42.720
of a lot of people. Well, as I've said many times, Terry

842
01:11:42.760 --> 01:11:47.640
Gilliams movie Brazil that came out in
nineteen eighty four's his Monty Python like take

843
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:54.600
on totalitarianism, and it begins with
a typo air. There's a typeo air

844
01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:59.800
here in that movie. You know, you've got these clunky it's a ruthless

845
01:11:59.840 --> 01:12:04.039
to tatorship. Their technology is clunky, and they've got these typewriters, manual

846
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:09.359
typewriters, and instead of big screen
TVs, they've got a frenelle lens in

847
01:12:09.399 --> 01:12:13.079
front of a small screen TV.
All that kind of stuff. But because

848
01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:18.119
you know, technological innovation gets stymied
in these solitary societies as well. At

849
01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:21.239
the very beginning, they're typing up
these different warrants. Thank you Travis or

850
01:12:21.239 --> 01:12:24.680
pulling this up, and people get
to see you can see kind of what

851
01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:26.800
I'm doing. But at the very
beginning of it, this guy's typing this

852
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:30.640
thing up and the fly drops down
off the ceiling as a guy swats it

853
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:35.319
into the typewriter, and instead of
Buttle, instead of tuddle, it says

854
01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:43.560
Budle, and they send out a
swat team, ruthless swat team to the

855
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:46.880
wrong address. That's how the movie
begins. And it's particular one. They've

856
01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:53.439
got a geofense warrant and they've got
a typo. The typo in it said

857
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:59.560
two miles over San Francisco that would
include any businesses, private homes, and

858
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:03.760
places of worshiping in the area.
But again it's not just this typo,

859
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:10.119
it's geofense warrants in general, treating
every human that happens to be in a

860
01:13:10.199 --> 01:13:15.359
given location as a potential suspect.
What could be wrong about that, Well,

861
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:16.920
besides the fact that it's an obvious
violation of the Fourth Amendment, which

862
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.239
says that if you get a search
warn't you got to go before a judge,

863
01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:25.119
and you got to be specific about
the person, place and things that

864
01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:30.199
you're going to be searching for and
searching in all the rest of that stuff.

865
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:31.960
It turns out the rule of innocent
until proven guilty is turned on its

866
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:36.880
head. And this is the case
of all these things. But of course

867
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:42.560
geospatial intelligence, which nobody ever talks
about, you know, they're now was

868
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:47.279
talking about geofense warrants, but really
geospatial intelligence was always about mapping people's political

869
01:13:47.319 --> 01:13:51.920
beliefs as well as the religious beliefs
and anything else that they wanted to do.

870
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:56.920
It was all about mapping you.
And that's been the fastest growing part

871
01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:03.159
of the spy agent sees since the
nineteen nineties. In addition, while we're

872
01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:10.000
talking about guns, you have Latitia
James again and leading a lot of a

873
01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:16.239
multi state coalition of twenty state attorneys
general to try to stop the federal government

874
01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:24.079
from selling five to five six am
to civilians. And this is coming from

875
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:30.600
the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant,
a Missouri based supplier for the US military,

876
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:32.079
So this is not something that's directly
on by the military. During the

877
01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:40.079
Obama administration, it was very alarming
to me because Obama, for the first

878
01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:45.920
time in his administration, they seemed
to focus on ammunition. And so Fort

879
01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:51.079
Drum, New York, was a
place where they started this, and they

880
01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:59.279
decided that they would stop the recycling
of well it wasn't even recycling of brass,

881
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:06.399
but spent brass from the military was
frequently sold back into retail manufacturers who

882
01:15:06.399 --> 01:15:13.960
would use it to cut their costs
down and to manufacture more ammunition. And

883
01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:18.079
so they just cut that off at
Fort Trump and it created a big stink,

884
01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:21.439
and then you got some senators involved
and they reversed that. But what

885
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:28.399
it showed you was how the Obama
administration is going to be focusing on ammunition.

886
01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:31.000
Because if you've got a gun but
you don't have any ammunition, you

887
01:15:31.119 --> 01:15:34.920
basically got a club. You know, you're like Davy Crockett at the Alamo

888
01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:41.359
at the very end, and that's
the way they want you. So you

889
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:44.960
know, they tried to stop it
with that and did that temporarily. So

890
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:50.600
here you've got a contractor for the
US military and they want to tell them,

891
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:54.800
well, we're not going to buy
your stuff unless you stop selling to

892
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:59.079
the public, strong arming them in
that way. They go through the banks,

893
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:01.920
they'll go through the tractors and all
the rest of this stuff. By

894
01:16:01.920 --> 01:16:06.119
the way, Fort Drum, the
plan was to rather than to take that

895
01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:12.520
spent brass and sell it to ammunition
manufacturers, they decided that they would just

896
01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:17.640
crush it into scrap brass and sell
it to the Chinese at a tiny fraction

897
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:24.600
of what they could sell it for
reloading. Billions of rounds of military grade

898
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:29.760
ammunition manufactured that Lake City arm Ammunition
Plant have been sold on the commercial market,

899
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:33.239
leading to their use in many of
the most tragic mass shootings in recent

900
01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:40.800
history. Said this shameful New York
Attorney General Letitia James. Well, I

901
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:45.760
imagine it's also been used to improve
people's accuracy so they don't hit the wrong

902
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:49.880
people. It's also, as every
other farm has been used, it's been

903
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:56.399
used to take down some dangerous individuals, maybe even by law enforcement. And

904
01:16:56.680 --> 01:17:01.279
it is also there to protect innocent
life. But they ignore that part of

905
01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:05.880
it. So they're trying to stop
it and use their leverage. They said,

906
01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:12.159
all signatories express their desiral these twenty
one state attorneys general to restrict civilian

907
01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:17.720
access to ammunition commonly used in the
AR fifteen style rifles. Ammunition from Lake

908
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:24.159
City is manufactured for military use and
does not belong in our communities. Well,

909
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:28.399
the R fifteen is, you know, they say that's a military weapon,

910
01:17:28.399 --> 01:17:30.520
shouldn't be used. But of course, if you go back and look

911
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:38.920
at some of the seminal unconstitutional court
decisions to try to stop our possession of

912
01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:44.680
farms, if you go back to
the Miller case, a sought off shotgun,

913
01:17:44.800 --> 01:17:46.800
and they set that whole thing up. The guy was a convicted felon.

914
01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:55.640
Multiple times they had a regulation that
said you can't have sought off shotgun,

915
01:17:55.680 --> 01:18:00.439
and their rationale was that it wasn't
a military weapon. Isn't it interesting

916
01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:04.960
You can't have a sought off shotgun
because it's not a military weapon. And

917
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:09.000
here we are on hundred years later, Well, you can't have the AR

918
01:18:09.039 --> 01:18:12.760
fifteen because it has been used by
the military, and you can't have that

919
01:18:12.800 --> 01:18:17.359
ammunition either, And of course,
in that particular case, it was an

920
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:24.720
obvious setup. The defendant died before
the case became before the Supreme Court,

921
01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:28.199
and it should have been a moot
issue, but they went ahead and took

922
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:32.039
it anyway, and there was nobody
arguing the other side, and they used

923
01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:36.760
that to support early forms of gun
control. But it was also a lie

924
01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:42.439
because this sought off shotgun had been
used in both World War One and in

925
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:47.960
the Civil War. But nevertheless they
said this is manufactured for military use.

926
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:55.000
Well, again, in the early
twentieth century, the courts are saying,

927
01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:57.760
well, you can't have a gun
if it's not for military use. Because

928
01:18:57.960 --> 01:19:03.239
the Constitution refers to the militia,
a well regulated militia. The Feds should

929
01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:10.640
actually be giving away this ammunition and
teaching people how to use farms and giving

930
01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:14.039
people fiarms, giving people weapons and
teaching us how to use it. That's

931
01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:17.319
what the militia is about. That's
what are well regulated, well trained,

932
01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:25.640
well organized militia is really about.
But Democrats want to prohibit militia's altogether because

933
01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:28.640
they're not too fond of the Constitution
either. They don't like militias and they

934
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:35.119
don't like the Constitution. Senator Ed
Markey and Congressman Jamie Raskin have put together

935
01:19:35.159 --> 01:19:43.680
this thing called the PPPAA Preventing Private
Paramilitary Activity Acts. By the way,

936
01:19:43.800 --> 01:19:51.760
Senator Ed Markey back in twenty twelve, he was a congressman and in North

937
01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:58.800
Carolina where I was, Ed Markey
created this little dog and pony show about

938
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:03.640
the EPA and about they were trying
to extend regulations to ban more diesel emissions

939
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:08.600
and things like that. And so
he created this little hearing where he brought

940
01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:14.319
in Lisa Jackson, who was Obama's
head of the EPA, and they'd worked

941
01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:16.600
out this little dialogue and even stepped
on some of her lines, so you

942
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:20.479
could tell that they'd rehearsed this thing
before. And they were saying that more

943
01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:28.079
people are dying from fine particulate matter
coming from diesel fuel than are dying from

944
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:30.920
heart attacks and cancer and all the
rest of the stuff. You see,

945
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:35.039
This is why it was so easy
for me, at least to see what

946
01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:39.600
was going on with this pandemic.
I've seen all of that stuff before.

947
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:44.960
They just keep running the same because
it works. It works. I mean,

948
01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:47.359
if you're a football team and you
run this play against the other side

949
01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:50.840
and they just fall down and they
don't know where to go? What to

950
01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:57.199
do? You keep running that play
and they keep running this play. And

951
01:20:57.359 --> 01:21:00.600
he was a congressman at the time, and Lisa Jackson was saying, yes,

952
01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:02.479
Senator, I'm not talking about people
getting sick. I'm talking about people

953
01:21:02.560 --> 01:21:08.560
dying. And more people are dying
from fine particulate matter than are dying from

954
01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:14.640
heart and cancer and all these other
diseases, right, full face lie.

955
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:19.880
As a matter of fact, did
a report on it, and I still

956
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:24.880
have that report, and I still
have a screenshot which they scrubbed, which

957
01:21:24.920 --> 01:21:29.760
showed when they talked about fine particulate
matter, they showed the smoky mountains and

958
01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:33.960
they said, this is an example
of fine particular matter. No, the

959
01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:39.880
smoky mountains were smoky long before we
had diesel engines or internal combustion engines,

960
01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:43.920
long before any Europeans came. They
were smoky. Anyway, she was at

961
01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:50.319
that very time. Their EPA placed
there in Research Triangle Park where I was,

962
01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:56.199
was hooking people up to diesel exhaust. They took out the carbon monoxide

963
01:21:56.199 --> 01:22:00.520
so they wouldn't kill them outright,
They hooked them up to diesel exhaust.

964
01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:03.920
Steve Malloy, who has junk science, I've interviewed him many times, discovered

965
01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:08.800
it. They were looking for people
who had heart and respiratory issues to begin

966
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:14.439
with, and then they exposed them
to levels of fine particular matter that were

967
01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:19.680
seventy two times what the EPA allowed. And they wanted to get people who

968
01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:24.439
were going to be sick and have
to be taken to the hospital and so

969
01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:27.880
they could up those regulations, and
that's what Marky was doing. So now

970
01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:31.840
he's focused on guns as a senator, and they want to prohibit privately organized

971
01:22:31.840 --> 01:22:39.960
groups publicly patrolling, drilling, or
engaging and harmful or deadly pairamilitary techniques.

972
01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:45.039
They also want to prohibit interfering with
or interrupting government proceeding unless you're January the

973
01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:50.840
sixth reference there, And of course
they outright reference the oathkeepers and the Proud

974
01:22:50.840 --> 01:22:57.840
Boys and the three percenters and their
talks about this or interfering in the exercise

975
01:22:57.920 --> 01:23:03.079
of somebody else's constitutional rights. Wait
a minute, it's the Congress. It's

976
01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:08.119
interfering with the exercise of my constitutional
rights all the time. And this bill,

977
01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:12.920
especially, the bill makes exceptions for
members of the National Guard. Loll

978
01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:18.359
right, that's not the militia.
Not the militia at all the groups formed

979
01:23:18.399 --> 01:23:26.920
solely to conduct military reenactments either.
Oh okay, so better get your Confederate

980
01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:36.319
uniform and your flag for your exemption. I'm exempt. Yeah, and just

981
01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:41.239
keep that on hand just in case
they invade us again, okay, Patrolling

982
01:23:41.239 --> 01:23:46.600
neighborhoods, impeding law enforcement, storming
the US capital. Private military groups like

983
01:23:46.640 --> 01:23:50.039
the Oathkeepers, three Percenters, and
Proud Boys are using political violence to intimidate

984
01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:54.359
our people and threaten democratic government in
the rule of law, said Raskin.

985
01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:59.479
Well, I don't know. It
seems like our government also uses political violence

986
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:04.680
to intimidate people and to terrorize people
that you think. And the interesting thing

987
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:08.159
is, of course, you know, before January sixth, which they don't

988
01:24:08.199 --> 01:24:12.800
want to talk about, as there
were riots that were breaking out in various

989
01:24:12.800 --> 01:24:17.960
places, Oathkeepers went to private businesses
and they protected them. They didn't have

990
01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:21.560
to shoot anybody. They just stood
there with the homeowner, with the business

991
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:27.760
owners. Because as we know,
I think it was George Washington who said

992
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:32.960
the mere presence of firearms restrains evil. It does a great job of restraining

993
01:24:33.039 --> 01:24:41.680
evil looters as well. Really does, because again, Jamie Raskin and Marky

994
01:24:41.760 --> 01:24:44.560
are not going to do anything to
restrain the looters. They call them mostly

995
01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:48.239
peaceful. Well, they were mostly
peaceful after the armed individuals showed up and

996
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:55.920
just stood there. They also point
out in this Epic Times article they said

997
01:24:55.960 --> 01:25:01.159
individuals have also engaged in non violent
protest events while exercising their right to carry

998
01:25:01.159 --> 01:25:08.159
firearms in public. And of course
that happened at the Alamo, where you

999
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:13.119
had the San Antonio police or harassing
people who were doing open carry. And

1000
01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:18.199
they were doing that. This is
before they passed a constitutional carry for pistols.

1001
01:25:18.199 --> 01:25:21.159
You could still do it for rifles, you could carry openly, but

1002
01:25:21.199 --> 01:25:27.119
they were harassing people and arresting them
in violation of the constitution, that even

1003
01:25:27.159 --> 01:25:30.000
the state law at the time.
And so there was a massive rally there

1004
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:35.399
and everybody showed up with their rifles
there at the Alamo, and it was

1005
01:25:35.479 --> 01:25:42.079
very peaceful. And as my son's
pointed out, the only time that covered

1006
01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:48.640
a big demonstration and it wasn't a
violent one, was when the protesters were

1007
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:55.159
carrying firearms. It seems to be
a way to bring peace to it all.

1008
01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:00.159
The TSA is rolling out big plans
on digital and I thought it was

1009
01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:09.439
kind of interesting the way they put
this to streamline travelers experiences. Has that

1010
01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:15.319
been your experience with TSA? Does
it streamline your travel experiences? No?

1011
01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:17.880
And of course there are no threats
to airports airplanes, as they point out

1012
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:25.560
in twenty eleven in one of their
documents that accidentally they released, and if

1013
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:31.359
there were any threats to airports or
airplanes they're bunching everybody up together would be

1014
01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:35.319
one of the biggest security threats that
there are. But of course there's not

1015
01:26:35.359 --> 01:26:41.800
any threats. And in their own
tests they show that well over ninety percent

1016
01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:45.680
of the time they miss the stuff
that they would normally be trying to scan.

1017
01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:50.760
So you've got nine states. Now
they are using digital identities and mobile

1018
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:56.359
licenses. But of course they're going
to ramp this up. And now you

1019
01:26:56.399 --> 01:27:00.960
can see what the goal is,
right. You know that they want to

1020
01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:06.479
lock us into the fifteen minute area, you know, into their smart cities,

1021
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:12.000
but even subdividing the smart cities into
fifteen minute areas, they want to

1022
01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:17.560
completely immobilize us. And this has
been the goal of all of this stuff.

1023
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:21.279
It's not about keeping us safe,
it's about putting us in an open

1024
01:27:21.319 --> 01:27:28.159
air prison. And so we're going
to take a quick break and we will

1025
01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:35.680
be right back. Whether you're feeling

wide variety of channels on our app at

apsradio dot com. You're listening to
the David Knight Show. We'll talk a

1028
01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:42.840
little bit about the aftermath of the
election, because there's something more important here

1029
01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:49.880
than who got how many votes,
something very interesting about Ramaswami. But begin

1030
01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:57.079
here with this letter from Don who
says talks about these woefully blind Trump sheeple

1031
01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:00.640
supporters, and he sent this bag
to me. He says, I'm in

1032
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:06.720
Isaiah. God complains about people who
are wilfully blind and very much pleased with

1033
01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:13.039
their own delusion. The people that
provokes to wrath, lying children, children

1034
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:16.920
that will not hear, see not, and to them that behold be old

1035
01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:21.319
not because those things that are right. And so when we look at this,

1036
01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:25.319
you know, they love to talk
about anybody that opposes Trump is having

1037
01:29:26.079 --> 01:29:30.000
Trump derangement syndrome. And you see
the MAGA people all the time talking about

1038
01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:36.600
TDS. Well, I think they've
got another TDS Trump delusion, and they've

1039
01:29:36.600 --> 01:29:42.600
got it strong. And God said, I will send a strong delusion to

1040
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:45.439
these people, and I think they've
got a bad case of it, don't

1041
01:29:45.479 --> 01:29:51.079
you. And then we've got this
from Mary Taly Bowden An MD. She

1042
01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:56.760
said, I asked Ramaswami to add
his name to a list of people opposing

1043
01:29:56.760 --> 01:30:04.119
this JAB and she said this was
his response. And this was in December

1044
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:11.399
twenty twenty three. Vaiveik Ramaswami said, we're trying to keep our kids away

1045
01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:16.920
from it. The Trump shot.
I'm a medical choice absolutist. You should

1046
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:21.000
be allowed to take a medicine with
full facts even if the FDA hasn't approved

1047
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:26.880
it, and you should never be
forced to take something just because the FDA

1048
01:30:27.000 --> 01:30:31.319
has approved it. Right now,
it's the worst of both worlds. Well,

1049
01:30:31.319 --> 01:30:38.800
that's true as far as it goes. But what about fraud? What

1050
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:43.840
about fraud from the companies? And
again, this was in twenty twenty three.

1051
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:49.760
You might have been able to excuse
this back in twenty twenty, but

1052
01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:55.119
not three years later when everybody knows
what it is. But you know,

1053
01:30:55.239 --> 01:30:58.479
fraud is something that I guess the
FDA ought to be able to get away

1054
01:30:58.479 --> 01:31:02.640
with. Right. Well, it
turns out that the day before the Iowa

1055
01:31:02.760 --> 01:31:09.359
Caucus, doctor David Martin and I've
interviewed him once. A very interesting guy,

1056
01:31:09.479 --> 01:31:14.880
very smart guy, and he has
gone back and looked at the patents

1057
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:17.640
and the intellectual property rights for a
lot of this pharmaceutical stuff in depth.

1058
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:24.720
I interviewed him in context with the
second Plandemic movie, and so I interviewed

1059
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:29.920
both the director of that movie and
David Martin, who featured prominently in that

1060
01:31:30.039 --> 01:31:36.439
second one. And so he pointed
out that vive Ake's company had invested one

1061
01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:44.840
hundred and sixteen million dollars in nanoparticle
delivery systems back in twenty seventeen. Also,

1062
01:31:44.880 --> 01:31:50.399
according to him, vive Ake has
not so publicly disclosed his interest in

1063
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:56.560
every single shot that was delivered.
Yeah, he's getting a little bit of

1064
01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:00.159
a kickback on all that, and
so this is put out if people started,

1065
01:32:00.159 --> 01:32:03.920
you know. Of course, there's
a couple of different issues. He

1066
01:32:04.079 --> 01:32:09.600
made his appeal, He offended Trump
threw him under the bus that he's not

1067
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:12.840
maga, don't be deceived by this
guy, and so forth. I think

1068
01:32:12.880 --> 01:32:18.239
that was the biggest factor, I
think, because everybody saw that. But

1069
01:32:19.399 --> 01:32:26.119
this is something that we need to
keep in mind because Vaveake ain't going away.

1070
01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:30.800
As a matter of fact, part
of the payoff for endorsing Trump was

1071
01:32:30.840 --> 01:32:34.600
to be featured in New Hampshire and
other places like that. You going the

1072
01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:39.640
campaign trouble with him. He's angling
for something else and he's not going to

1073
01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:45.880
go away. Just as a lot
of people said after January sixth, they

1074
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:48.359
were angry at me, leave Trump
alone. You know he's going away.

1075
01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.760
Leave him all I said, He's
not going away. I'm telling you,

1076
01:32:53.359 --> 01:32:58.600
Vivake, the snake ain't going away
either. All of this fight about who

1077
01:32:58.680 --> 01:33:03.840
is going to win horse race to
get to the vaccine was happening a year

1078
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:09.960
two years before the pandemic, so
we didn't even have to guess who the

1079
01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:13.479
winner was going to be. We
knew that Maderna and bien Tech were the

1080
01:33:13.520 --> 01:33:17.520
inside runners. We knew they were
going to get the contracts from what ultimately

1081
01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:21.399
became off Variation Warp Speed. These
were things that were foregone conclusions, and

1082
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:26.880
you knew who the people were because
they were already fighting over who was going

1083
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:31.119
to win. So they lied to
Congress about the patents that the CADC ANDIH

1084
01:33:31.199 --> 01:33:35.520
and its funded entities had. They
lied to Congress about whether they had a

1085
01:33:35.560 --> 01:33:42.680
relationship with Acutus and our budhist which
conveniently our Canadian firms which made nothing but

1086
01:33:43.359 --> 01:33:47.880
copious, copious, copious profits on
the back of I don't know a thing

1087
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:51.079
that accidentally came into being. And
by the way, we have a presidential

1088
01:33:51.119 --> 01:33:58.079
candidate vivic right now is the guy
who funded our beautist and a cutus,

1089
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:06.800
a Republican candidate for president who is
using for his campaign money he made on

1090
01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:14.279
his not so publicly disclosed interests in
every shot that was delivered. I wonder

1091
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:18.239
how that would play if I don't
know, somebody at a town hall would

1092
01:34:18.279 --> 01:34:24.560
ask an inconvenient question like, hey, Vivek, tell us about the money

1093
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:27.479
you made on the back of our
budhists and acutit as pharmaceuticals. Why don't

1094
01:34:27.479 --> 01:34:30.600
we actually have that conversation. But
we don't have that conversation because the public

1095
01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:35.680
is number one uninformed, and when
it is informed, they are too incredulous

1096
01:34:35.720 --> 01:34:40.960
to believe that the things I just
said happen to be true. That's right.

1097
01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:46.319
So many times you tell people that
it's just as too evil, or

1098
01:34:46.359 --> 01:34:51.000
that technology is too science fiction sounding. They don't have technology like that.

1099
01:34:53.000 --> 01:35:00.760
He said that all the time.
This comment here, person, it's an

1100
01:35:00.800 --> 01:35:04.439
anonymous account that goes by the name
of Clandestine. I think vive Ake was

1101
01:35:04.479 --> 01:35:10.319
always on Trump's side. Now Trump
and vive Ac are on the side of

1102
01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:15.920
DARPA, big pharmaceutical companies, on
the side of CDC and the World Health

1103
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:18.520
Organization. They're their puppets. They're
their puppets. But he does have an

1104
01:35:18.520 --> 01:35:24.359
interesting comment here. He says,
the brief media scuffle was just theater of

1105
01:35:24.359 --> 01:35:27.479
the day before the primary to create
the illusion of distance. They created a

1106
01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:30.920
lot of illusions. They create the
illusion that Trump is an anti globalist,

1107
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:36.359
and that illusion is so strong,
that delusion is so strong to the MAGA

1108
01:35:36.399 --> 01:35:40.760
people that they can't believe that he's
on the side of the globals, even

1109
01:35:40.760 --> 01:35:44.560
when he goes down and checks every
single box that was on the wish list

1110
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:50.359
of Klaus Schwab, and he does
it in synchronization with these other people around

1111
01:35:50.359 --> 01:35:55.640
the world. All this made up
garbage about social distancing. In six feet,

1112
01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:58.000
they all did the same thing at
exactly the same time. And there's

1113
01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:00.560
as Fauci said, well, I
don't really know where that came from.

1114
01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:06.079
It just sort of appeared. Well, he says his job was to be

1115
01:36:06.119 --> 01:36:12.800
a Trump stand in and to articulate
Trump's agenda effectively, because Trump can't do

1116
01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:17.880
it effectively. Trump creates a cult
of personality worship, but he can't articulate

1117
01:36:17.920 --> 01:36:21.920
the agenda to do it to a
broader audience that might have been turned off

1118
01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:25.720
by Trump himself. He woke up
a lot of people this way and garnered

1119
01:36:25.720 --> 01:36:30.199
a lot of support, which has
now been transferred to Trump via endorsement.

1120
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:33.439
Viveig did his job, and I
hope he can find a role in the

1121
01:36:33.479 --> 01:36:38.000
Trump administration because he's as sharp as
they come, and I'm excited about him

1122
01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:43.119
in the future if he proves he's
for real. Well, David Martin has

1123
01:36:43.159 --> 01:36:47.800
proved what he is about, and
you know, he is kissing the ring

1124
01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:53.119
and it's not just a Trump's ring
that he's kissing. He's been kissing the

1125
01:36:53.199 --> 01:36:57.840
ring of the pharmaceutical companies and playing
foot see with him and making a lot

1126
01:36:57.880 --> 01:37:03.359
of money. Here's an article from
Wine Press and they point out Vivek is

1127
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:08.720
even though he's dropped out of the
race, he's been all over social media.

1128
01:37:08.760 --> 01:37:14.119
He's routinely promoted by right leaning alternative
platforms. He's always on with Alex

1129
01:37:14.279 --> 01:37:18.920
Jones and featured by that I should
tell you something. He's not going to

1130
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:25.119
just fade away. A collection of
authors and journalists dug into how Vaivik made

1131
01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:28.359
his money, and it has been
revealed that he ran a number of get

1132
01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:33.760
rich quick schemes and scams and profited
off of technology using the COVID nineteen vaccines.

1133
01:37:33.760 --> 01:37:36.760
And I've talked about some of this, but there's some of this that

1134
01:37:36.800 --> 01:37:42.640
I've not talked about. And I
would have liked to have talked about it

1135
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:48.039
to Ramaswami, but he didn't want
to. They always referred to him as

1136
01:37:48.039 --> 01:37:57.000
an entrepreneur or as a biotech engineer
whatever. No Vivek is fake on those

1137
01:37:57.039 --> 01:38:01.239
two things. After working in Silicon
Valley and Wall Street, he founded biotech

1138
01:38:01.279 --> 01:38:06.159
company called Reivent Sciences in twenty fourteen. The following year, he raised three

1139
01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:13.760
hundred and sixty million dollars for its
subsidiary, Axovant Sciences, in order to

1140
01:38:13.800 --> 01:38:17.880
market in Alzheimer's drug that had previously
failed four separate clinical trials. He then

1141
01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:24.760
raised another three hundred and fifteen million
in the IPO. Shortly thereafter, the

1142
01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:30.720
company's market value reached almost three billion. Two years later, their drug failed

1143
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:33.960
its fifth clinical trial. The company
cratered, losing over seventy percent of its

1144
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:42.199
value in a single day. Ramaswami's
investors would be the quintessential bag holders while

1145
01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:47.760
he made out with windfall profits at
their expense. Just the kind of guy

1146
01:38:47.880 --> 01:38:56.119
that you want as a populist president. I've had a lot of people telling

1147
01:38:56.159 --> 01:39:00.720
me how great Ramaswamy is. And
by the way, what they don't mention

1148
01:39:00.800 --> 01:39:06.640
in this is he didn't create anything
right. Instead, he's buying and reselling

1149
01:39:06.680 --> 01:39:11.880
stuff, very much like the pharmaceutical
bro Martin Screlly. As a matter of

1150
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:16.560
fact, he tried to bring Martin
Screlly in as a partnership of joint venture

1151
01:39:16.600 --> 01:39:19.439
type of thing, and the other
people in the company said no way.

1152
01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:27.520
But that's who he is. Like
if you want an analogy, Vyvek the

1153
01:39:27.600 --> 01:39:33.359
snake, it's Martin Screlly, the
big farm of bro. Anyway, Yet,

1154
01:39:33.399 --> 01:39:38.560
in twenty seventeen, this company that
he created, roy Vent, partnered

1155
01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:46.880
with a private equity arm of the
CCPs CITIC Group, again Communist Chinese Party,

1156
01:39:47.119 --> 01:39:54.279
to form yet another fraudulent company called
sino Vent Sino as in Chinese.

1157
01:39:54.960 --> 01:40:00.800
Shortly thereafter, Soft Bank invested one
point one billion dollars and Royvent. So

1158
01:40:02.279 --> 01:40:05.560
he buys this thing that has failed
many times. He hypes it. He's

1159
01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:10.079
really good at hype. He hypes
it, he raises a bunch of money

1160
01:40:10.079 --> 01:40:12.960
off of it, and then seventy
percent of the value has gone in a

1161
01:40:13.000 --> 01:40:16.560
single day. Other people are left
holding the bag. He's left holding a

1162
01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:24.760
windfall profit. Then to recover,
he joins forces with a Chinese communist party

1163
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:30.159
company creates something called Sinovac, and
as soon as they create that, they

1164
01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:33.479
get soft Bank jumping in with over
a billion dollars. Does that bother you?

1165
01:40:35.479 --> 01:40:40.800
I see a lot of problems there, don't you. Anyway, Roybank

1166
01:40:41.079 --> 01:40:45.880
sold its steak and five subsidiaries,
and Ramaswami pocketed one point seventy five million

1167
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:50.920
dollars just from that deal. Again, roy Bank has never produced a single

1168
01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:58.479
viable product, just kind of like
Moderna up until warp Speed, and it's

1169
01:40:58.479 --> 01:41:03.760
never turned a profit. In other
words, Royvent Ramaswami's company was always nothing

1170
01:41:03.800 --> 01:41:09.760
more than a ponzi screen scheme,
and an egregious one at that. But

1171
01:41:09.840 --> 01:41:14.239
perhaps by his connections with government,
he might be able to go the same

1172
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:18.960
way as Moderna. Right. Moderna
operated for ten years and it was one

1173
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:23.119
happy story on Wall Street. They'd
do a pump and dump on the stock,

1174
01:41:23.159 --> 01:41:26.600
and these guys kept going doing that
way. I know that last thing

1175
01:41:26.640 --> 01:41:29.760
we had didn't pan out, but
this one, this is going to cure

1176
01:41:29.760 --> 01:41:31.960
everything, you know, that type
of deal, and everybody would buy their

1177
01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:36.039
stock and they would pocket the money. And they did that for ten years

1178
01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:42.000
until they were brought in as part
of this warp speed thing. So perhaps

1179
01:41:42.039 --> 01:41:45.760
that's his long term plan. Who
knows. Anyway, Despite having never created

1180
01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:53.119
anything in his life other than a
series of companies engaged in various blatant scams,

1181
01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:58.159
Forbes recently estimated his network to be
more than nine hundred and fifty million

1182
01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:02.319
dollars. He's so close to being
a millionaire. Perhaps with the right connections

1183
01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:08.000
to Donald Trump, he could follow
that plan of moderna. It has been

1184
01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:14.279
found that Vaivek was receiving funding from
the likes of Black Rock, Vanguard,

1185
01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:20.359
State Street, the Unholy Trinity of
ESG even as he was stumping on the

1186
01:42:21.359 --> 01:42:27.600
doing political speeches talking about how evil
they are. Yeah, he truly is

1187
01:42:28.479 --> 01:42:33.560
another Donald Trump, isn't He position
himself as being anti globalist position and positioning

1188
01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:39.800
himself as being anti ESG and yet
taking money from the people who are pushing

1189
01:42:40.840 --> 01:42:45.279
the ESG, Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, the three major investment

1190
01:42:45.319 --> 01:42:50.760
firms that he has routinely railed against
in his speeches for monopolizing and vastly influencing

1191
01:42:50.800 --> 01:42:57.600
economic conditions to a shadow hand,
but he gets funded by them. In

1192
01:42:57.640 --> 01:43:01.119
a resurface twenty seventeen article by four, it was revealed that in twenty seventeen,

1193
01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:08.119
Ramaswami's company invested one hundred and sixteen
million dollars into nanoparticle delivery systems that

1194
01:43:08.199 --> 01:43:14.239
you just saw David Martin talking about
the same technology that would be later used

1195
01:43:14.359 --> 01:43:20.119
in the so called COVID nineteen vaccines
the Trump shots, and therefore Vivek would

1196
01:43:20.159 --> 01:43:30.399
have gotten cut a check in royalties
for Forbes reported that at the time that

1197
01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:33.319
they said, the voivent said it's
agreed to invest one hundred and sixteen million

1198
01:43:33.319 --> 01:43:39.800
dollars in our ARBUTUS Biopharma, a
small biotech company focusing on hepatitis B,

1199
01:43:40.439 --> 01:43:48.800
locked in a proxy war with Moderna
over liquid nanoparticle delivery system And what they

1200
01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:57.720
don't talk about in this article is
his involvement in the pandemic scam and how

1201
01:43:57.760 --> 01:44:03.039
he was on the COVID of Governor
Dowine, one of the worst governors,

1202
01:44:03.479 --> 01:44:10.359
a Republican governor there in Ohio.
And also the fact that as part of

1203
01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:15.279
that team, not only did he
not push back against all the President Fauci

1204
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:20.560
and Vice President Trump prediction demands for
things to be done. Now, I

1205
01:44:20.640 --> 01:44:27.239
did not push back against that,
but he was also there trying to angle

1206
01:44:27.279 --> 01:44:36.359
in and make money with contact tracing
surveillance and the vaccine ID stuff. This

1207
01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:43.119
guy truly is a snake. And
yet what is a response from somebody who

1208
01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:49.600
truly does have Trump delusion? Strong? Strongly? Laura Looney, all right,

1209
01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:55.479
Laura Lumer, and she after he
dropped out of the race, she

1210
01:44:55.560 --> 01:45:00.520
said, thank you, Ramaswami.
I knew you would do the right thing.

1211
01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:04.600
Run in twenty twenty eight, and
you will have our support so long

1212
01:45:04.640 --> 01:45:10.520
as you remain loyal to President Trump. That's the only thing that matters.

1213
01:45:11.840 --> 01:45:15.720
It doesn't matter if Ramaswami is for
ESG or if he's for the big pharmaceutical

1214
01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:19.199
companies or anything else, EVDC,
any of that stuff. None of that

1215
01:45:19.279 --> 01:45:26.279
matters if he's loyal to President Trump. As Dessanta said, the only thing's

1216
01:45:26.279 --> 01:45:30.199
required in the GP now is that
you've got to kiss the Trump ring.

1217
01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:38.720
Laura Looney goes on to say,
I always liked your policies. I just

1218
01:45:38.800 --> 01:45:44.720
wanted loyalty to Trump. And of
course she doesn't like what happened, I

1219
01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:47.600
guess, like most of these people
under Trump, but she still is loyal

1220
01:45:47.680 --> 01:45:51.239
to him. Looking forward to seeing
you in New Hampshire with President Trump tomorrow

1221
01:45:51.319 --> 01:45:58.960
at his rally. Yeah, exactly. So, oh, that's all that's

1222
01:45:59.039 --> 01:46:03.000
required. The question is is we
look at this election coming up. Well,

1223
01:46:03.000 --> 01:46:09.199
we can certainly see the enthusiasm in
the Republican primaries and in the polls

1224
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:14.479
for Trump, but will they show
up? You know, I talked about

1225
01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:16.279
how low the turnout was. If
you go back and look at the last

1226
01:46:16.359 --> 01:46:24.079
competitive GOP primary in Iowa in twenty
and sixteen, we had, you know,

1227
01:46:24.239 --> 01:46:28.960
about sixteen or seventeen different candidates on
the ballot at the very beginning there,

1228
01:46:29.800 --> 01:46:30.880
they had a turnout of one hundred
and eighty six thousand. It was

1229
01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:39.159
only one hundred and nine thousand this
last time really dropped and only fourteen point

1230
01:46:39.199 --> 01:46:43.479
four percent of registered Republicans even turned
out to vote. So is they're going

1231
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:48.039
to win the general election with that
kind of tepid interest. Of course,

1232
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:54.039
you could always say that was affected
by the weather, but still only fourteen

1233
01:46:54.079 --> 01:47:00.600
percent showed up. So as we
move forward, they're going to be any

1234
01:47:00.640 --> 01:47:05.479
debates, no more debates. Newki
Haley doesn't want a debate. She said

1235
01:47:05.680 --> 01:47:09.800
that if she does another debate,
she's not going to do any more debates

1236
01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:15.920
unless it's a debate with Trump and
or Biden. And so I guess DeSantis

1237
01:47:16.079 --> 01:47:20.960
is doesn't get to talk to anybody, right, maybe he can find a

1238
01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:24.960
third party candidate. That's how I
got into a PBS debate when I was

1239
01:47:25.000 --> 01:47:28.960
running for Congress, because, by
the way, it was Virginia Fox who

1240
01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:35.600
voted for these bills that the conservatives
are so upset about in Congress, this

1241
01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:42.199
betrayal. She was the one that
I ran against That's all Care. And

1242
01:47:42.239 --> 01:47:45.359
I thought I'd be dead now if
I had actually won that election, because

1243
01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:50.680
out of just just stress, living
in Washington would have killed me. I

1244
01:47:50.720 --> 01:47:54.279
hated that place. I did not
want to go, but I did want

1245
01:47:54.279 --> 01:47:57.279
to run against it. But anyway, I got it into a PBS debate

1246
01:47:57.319 --> 01:48:01.239
because she didn't want a debate.
She and she was running for her first

1247
01:48:01.279 --> 01:48:05.039
reelection. She had gotten in in
nineteen ninety four, and in nineteen ninety

1248
01:48:05.079 --> 01:48:12.119
six she was above debating anybody,
and so the Democrat wanted to go into

1249
01:48:12.159 --> 01:48:17.000
a debate, and so we did
that. Anyway, So Nicki Haley says

1250
01:48:17.000 --> 01:48:21.920
she's not going to be in any
further debates. And I imagine it's probably

1251
01:48:21.920 --> 01:48:26.319
a good thing that she doesn't get
in the debates, because, you know,

1252
01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:32.439
you might have DeSantis bring this up. For example. She posted this

1253
01:48:33.079 --> 01:48:40.039
back in April of twenty twenty,
and this is Nicki Haley's official account.

1254
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:46.600
Thank you Bill Gates for donating billions
of dollars to construct factories that will manufacture

1255
01:48:46.680 --> 01:48:51.800
the seven most promising vaccines. This
will keep us from losing any time as

1256
01:48:51.800 --> 01:49:00.079
potential vaccines move through the clinical trial
process. Isn't that great? You know

1257
01:49:00.479 --> 01:49:05.720
Bill Gates? She saw Bill Gates
as a benefactor. Is she really that

1258
01:49:06.000 --> 01:49:11.319
stupid? Is she really that stupid? See? I don't think Nikki Haley

1259
01:49:11.359 --> 01:49:15.560
is stupid. I don't think that
Trump is stupid. I think they're evil.

1260
01:49:15.560 --> 01:49:18.239
I think they're traders. I think
they know exactly what they're doing.

1261
01:49:19.079 --> 01:49:24.600
Yeah, thank you for giving billions
of dollars and expecting nothing at all out

1262
01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:29.079
of it. Does she not know
about the ID twenty twenty or which I've

1263
01:49:29.119 --> 01:49:31.039
got to know your name, she
says. Does she not know about the

1264
01:49:31.079 --> 01:49:35.680
Immunization Agenda twenty thirty of Bill Gates
or everybody everywhere, every vaccine, every

1265
01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:44.560
age. So in terms of why
she doesn't want to talk anymore about any

1266
01:49:44.560 --> 01:49:48.600
policies or about her record, she
says, our intent, I love this

1267
01:49:48.720 --> 01:49:53.079
royal we that everybody uses, and
they all use it. It just really

1268
01:49:53.119 --> 01:50:00.000
grates against me. Our intent was
to host a debate. So I'm sorry

1269
01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:01.399
that was not her. That's ABC
News. Let me take that back,

1270
01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:06.840
but they all use that. Nevertheless, she uses it, Disantis uses it.

1271
01:50:08.079 --> 01:50:10.720
ABC said, well, we want
to have a debate, but nobody

1272
01:50:10.720 --> 01:50:15.840
will do it. And as Trump
is taking his victory lap, he was

1273
01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:19.079
all alone on the stage. He
had his two sons, Eric and Junior

1274
01:50:19.199 --> 01:50:24.800
there, but he didn't have Milania. You know, when he first went

1275
01:50:25.279 --> 01:50:30.439
to Iowa, showed up for his
very first event in Iowa for this cycle,

1276
01:50:30.279 --> 01:50:34.920
there was a banner that's being flown
around saying where's Milania? And she's

1277
01:50:34.960 --> 01:50:41.239
been a wall this entire time,
and she wasn't there when he won the

1278
01:50:41.319 --> 01:50:45.680
election. And so what he does
is you see this happening everywhere in the

1279
01:50:45.720 --> 01:50:51.840
press media, this puff story that
he came up with. They deflect away

1280
01:50:51.840 --> 01:50:58.359
from the fact that Milania is absent
and also Baron is also absent his son.

1281
01:50:59.279 --> 01:51:03.199
Here's the headline, Baron Trump has
eaten his way to six feet seven

1282
01:51:03.199 --> 01:51:09.920
inches, but his head says that
he likes soccer over basketball. Well there

1283
01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:15.079
you go, nothing to worry about, nothing to see there. Donald Trump

1284
01:51:15.159 --> 01:51:18.680
is all praise for his son Baron's
towering height though six feet seven inches,

1285
01:51:18.680 --> 01:51:25.239
which he attributes to the late Milania's
mother cooking skills, speaking because you know,

1286
01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:31.720
they don't have any servants for are
cooking. Donald Trump had his mother

1287
01:51:31.800 --> 01:51:35.239
in law cooking for everybody at mar
Lago, right. I guess that's why

1288
01:51:35.279 --> 01:51:41.159
she died. I thought that's a
pretty heavy load for somebody's elderly. And

1289
01:51:41.159 --> 01:51:44.880
then he buried his wife in his
golf course to get a discount his first

1290
01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:48.560
wife. I guess Milania's maybe he
doesn't want to go into the golf course.

1291
01:51:48.640 --> 01:51:53.760
You know, he has already got
one hole taken care of. I

1292
01:51:53.840 --> 01:51:58.960
guess he could have three all together. But anyway, speaking in his campaign

1293
01:51:59.039 --> 01:52:02.920
headquarters and dem he spoke about Baron's
relationship with his grandmother and how she took

1294
01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:08.880
care of him and resulted in his
impressive height. You think so he equipped

1295
01:52:08.920 --> 01:52:13.279
that Baron who was watching the event
on TV. I'm sure he was prefers

1296
01:52:13.279 --> 01:52:17.479
playing soccer despite his massive frame.
So he makes us all about the fact

1297
01:52:17.520 --> 01:52:21.079
that, you know, Milania is
not finished with him. She's not fed

1298
01:52:21.159 --> 01:52:27.079
up with him like all the people
who worked for him, she's not fed

1299
01:52:27.199 --> 01:52:30.319
up with him at all. She
doesn't care about all this Jeffrey Epstein stuff

1300
01:52:30.359 --> 01:52:33.439
and anything. Now they're good,
they're really good. They got a solid

1301
01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:39.960
marriage there, and she's not ready
to divorce him as soon as this election

1302
01:52:40.079 --> 01:52:43.439
thing is over. No, she's
not there because her mother died, you

1303
01:52:43.479 --> 01:52:48.800
know, from the massive duties of
feeding everybody and his son Baron evidently because

1304
01:52:48.840 --> 01:52:57.439
he got so much food from grandma. He is very distraught about this death

1305
01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:02.880
in the family that happened several weeks
ago. Several weeks ago. We'll take

1306
01:53:02.920 --> 01:53:09.800
a quick break and we'll be right
back here. News Now at apsradionews dot

Night Show. Well, we have our

1309
01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:00.159
guests coming up in five minutes,
so real quickly. I wanted to go

1310
01:55:00.159 --> 01:55:04.680
over some financial thanks here and this
is sent to me by listener Mark.

1311
01:55:04.720 --> 01:55:09.279
He said that you and Jerald Silenty
have been covering this for years, and

1312
01:55:09.359 --> 01:55:14.479
now sixty minutes is catching on.
Yeah, the commercial real estate bust.

1313
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:18.920
Listen to this city without its skyline, monuments to commerce, standing proudly shoulder

1314
01:55:18.960 --> 01:55:24.600
to shoulder, more office space than
any city in the world. But peek

1315
01:55:24.760 --> 01:55:30.399
inside all this vertical real estate and
there's a fundamental question. Where is everyone.

1316
01:55:30.079 --> 01:55:34.840
More than ninety five million square feet
of New York office space currently unoccupied,

1317
01:55:35.760 --> 01:55:41.000
the equivalent of thirty Empire State buildings. This building had a lot of

1318
01:55:41.079 --> 01:55:45.079
law firms, had some governments head
So Scott Reckler is CEO of RXR,

1319
01:55:45.359 --> 01:55:48.279
a New York real estate company with
more than twenty billion dollars in holdings.

1320
01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:54.039
Now we walked through his property at
sixty one Broadway near Wall Street. Every

1321
01:55:54.039 --> 01:55:58.760
other floor half the building lies empty. I think this is an existential moment,

1322
01:55:58.800 --> 01:56:00.840
you know, I call it crossing
the what's the casual? Specifically,

1323
01:56:01.319 --> 01:56:05.119
this post COVID world of higher interest
rates, the changing nature of how people

1324
01:56:05.199 --> 01:56:09.439
work and live. We're not going
back to where we were. It's a

1325
01:56:09.439 --> 01:56:13.399
different world, and it's going to
be turbulent. It already is. The

1326
01:56:13.479 --> 01:56:18.000
return to office has stalled out.
Fridays are dead, mondays aren't much busier,

1327
01:56:18.560 --> 01:56:24.159
as tenants shrink their office footprint.
Office landlords are confronting the fact that

1328
01:56:24.199 --> 01:56:28.239
some of their buildings have become obsolete, if not worthless. Ever, the

1329
01:56:28.279 --> 01:56:31.960
pragmatist Reckler decided not to throw good
money after bad. It's sixty one Broadway

1330
01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:36.279
and defaulted to his bank on a
two hundred and forty million dollars loan.

1331
01:56:38.079 --> 01:56:40.439
I could see people say, it's
a lot of money. How did he

1332
01:56:40.600 --> 01:56:43.600
sleep last night? We in,
that's a lot of equity. If it

1333
01:56:43.640 --> 01:56:45.840
works to me, If it works
to make a lot of money. If

1334
01:56:45.840 --> 01:56:49.479
it doesn't, who cares. It's
not as some other sucker. And of

1335
01:56:49.479 --> 01:56:53.840
course it's the banks that are going
to be taken down by this as well.

1336
01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:56.680
And China's stein market as he talks
about, you know, hey,

1337
01:56:56.720 --> 01:57:00.880
this is look at all these empty
buildings. It's like thirty Empire state buildings.

1338
01:57:01.479 --> 01:57:06.079
China's stock market is in free fall. I mean, it's going down

1339
01:57:06.119 --> 01:57:13.359
like Building seven. So again,
it's kind of interesting to look at this

1340
01:57:13.359 --> 01:57:17.840
because you go back and you look
at when the Great Depression kicked off,

1341
01:57:17.840 --> 01:57:23.479
and you had the Wall Street crash
in nineteen twenty nine, and at that

1342
01:57:23.600 --> 01:57:28.159
particular time, really it was Britain
that was the economic powerhouse, and it

1343
01:57:28.279 --> 01:57:30.159
was kind of you know, the
British pound was the standard for the world,

1344
01:57:30.760 --> 01:57:34.880
and yet America was rising in America
was where most of the manufacturing was

1345
01:57:34.920 --> 01:57:39.119
done, and that type of thing. There's a lot of parallels there with

1346
01:57:40.279 --> 01:57:44.720
what is happening today, America being
in the role of Great Britain prior to

1347
01:57:44.720 --> 01:57:48.600
the Great Depression, and China being
in the role of America prior to the

1348
01:57:48.600 --> 01:57:54.239
Great Depression where all the manufacturing was
happening. And so that's very troubling from

1349
01:57:54.239 --> 01:57:57.720
a global perspective. After a rocky
couple of years for the Chinese economy,

1350
01:57:57.720 --> 01:58:00.439
of the country's stock market appears to
be in freefall now, with authorities asking

1351
01:58:00.439 --> 01:58:06.680
institutional investors not to sell stocks in
an attempt to stabilize share prices as foreigners

1352
01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:12.640
are pulling out China's market. Regulators
have tried to stabilize the market by imposing

1353
01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:17.039
restrictions that stop some investors from being
net sellers of equities on certain days.

1354
01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:23.520
So it's like you know the oil
embargo of Opek. You can only buy

1355
01:58:23.560 --> 01:58:26.800
gas on odd or even days depending
on your license plate. Right, Well,

1356
01:58:26.840 --> 01:58:29.159
I guess mean the same type of
thing here. On certain days you

1357
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:32.439
can't be a net seller. This
strategy, with authorities offering what is known

1358
01:58:32.520 --> 01:58:36.520
as window guidance in an attempt to
help the country's stock market bounce back,

1359
01:58:38.239 --> 01:58:43.000
was first introduced in October, but
under pressure to try to stop the share

1360
01:58:43.039 --> 01:58:46.680
prices from free falling, the country's
market regulators have already reintroduced restrictions on some

1361
01:58:46.880 --> 01:58:54.319
security companies large institutional investors. China's
Central Bank has been left with little room

1362
01:58:54.359 --> 01:58:58.640
for maneuvering to strengthen the country's economy, as the Chinese you want has weakened

1363
01:58:58.760 --> 01:59:01.720
in recent months, and the bank
is likely to want to avoid a further

1364
01:59:02.520 --> 01:59:06.479
depreciation of the currency, as are
a weekend more than one percent against the

1365
01:59:06.520 --> 01:59:11.640
US dollar this year. And so
when we look at this in the background

1366
01:59:11.680 --> 01:59:14.640
of what is happening with a commercial
real estate bus because of lockdown, the

1367
01:59:14.680 --> 01:59:18.000
rest of this stuff, we have
JP Morgan has just racked up another conviction.

1368
01:59:19.720 --> 01:59:23.640
Yes, Jamie Diamond, you can
never say this guy has no convictions.

1369
01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:28.079
He's got a long string of them. Eighteen million dollar fine for violating

1370
01:59:28.159 --> 01:59:34.000
whistleblower protection rules. As zero Hedge
points out, Elizabeth Warren continues to try

1371
01:59:34.079 --> 01:59:40.039
to paint the entire crypto movement as
a criminal enterprise, and she does it

1372
01:59:40.079 --> 01:59:44.319
when she has fundraisers with people like
Jamie Diamond. He did not admit or

1373
01:59:44.319 --> 01:59:46.680
deny the charges, but the bank
paid an eighteen million dollar fine this week

1374
01:59:46.720 --> 01:59:50.399
for violating whistleblower protection rules. What
they had done was they said, well,

1375
01:59:50.399 --> 01:59:54.920
if you're going to do business with
us, you're not going to be

1376
01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:59.600
able to contact the SEC. Zero
head says, doesn't the name the mob

1377
01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:02.199
have a name for that. Don't
they call it hush money? Exactly right?

1378
02:00:02.279 --> 02:00:06.880
So the SEC said you, he
says. They alleged here that for

1379
02:00:06.920 --> 02:00:12.920
several years it forced certain clients in
the position of choosing between receiving settlements or

1380
02:00:12.920 --> 02:00:19.840
credits or reporting potential security law violations
to the SEC. This either or proposition

1381
02:00:20.039 --> 02:00:27.039
not only undermined critical investor protections and
placed investors at risk, but it was

1382
02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:30.840
also illegal. The SEC's Division of
Enforcement said, whether it's you're in your

1383
02:00:30.840 --> 02:00:38.600
employment contract or a settlement agreement or
anywhere else, you simply cannot include provisions

1384
02:00:38.680 --> 02:00:46.439
that prevent individuals from contacting the SEC
with evidence of wrongdoing. And so at

1385
02:00:46.439 --> 02:00:51.920
the same time they're doing this,
Bloomberg says this too big. Defail banks

1386
02:00:53.119 --> 02:01:00.000
standardize risk weighted assets hit one point
seven trillion dollars. It's cash marketable securities

1387
02:01:00.000 --> 02:01:04.399
are one point four trillion. This
average loans are near there at one point

1388
02:01:04.439 --> 02:01:10.560
three trillion, and the bigger bank
keeps getting bigger. But it's not only

1389
02:01:10.600 --> 02:01:15.199
then, it's also a Goldman Sachs
dumping billions in stocks and assets as it

1390
02:01:15.239 --> 02:01:19.920
told clients to buy. By the
way, that's the bank that Trump recruited

1391
02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:24.600
so much of his cabinet from.
Cohen got paid two hundred and fifty million

1392
02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:28.159
dollars in a golden parachute so he
could be part of the Trump administration.

1393
02:01:28.319 --> 02:01:30.680
And then as Trump got rid of
him, he said, yeah, he's

1394
02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:32.439
kind of a globalist. Yeah,
I guess that's why you hired him.

1395
02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:40.319
JP Morgan, Bank of America,
Bridgewater CEOs all at Davos with Zelensky.

1396
02:01:41.399 --> 02:01:46.760
That's right, here's Zelensky with the
bankers getting his lining up for his cash.

1397
02:01:47.039 --> 02:01:49.439
So the bottom line with all of
this and we've got our guests is

1398
02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:55.680
ready to come on. When you
look at what is happening in Argentina,

1399
02:01:56.319 --> 02:02:00.119
you have Avia Malay making a move
to allow certain private think of that as

1400
02:02:00.159 --> 02:02:04.439
states to start to circulate their own
currencies. That is something that we saw

1401
02:02:04.560 --> 02:02:08.039
during the Great Depression. You had
a lot of local communities and still have

1402
02:02:08.119 --> 02:02:13.399
it in some of the museums.
People printed up wooden coins to exchange because

1403
02:02:14.000 --> 02:02:16.760
it was necessary. So the bottom
line is, you know, when you

1404
02:02:16.760 --> 02:02:20.039
try to set up these state banks
to try to get away from these two

1405
02:02:20.039 --> 02:02:26.239
big to fail public private partnership stakeholder
banks whatever you want to call them,

1406
02:02:26.680 --> 02:02:31.479
crony capital and involvement with these corrupt
government entities, you want to have something

1407
02:02:31.880 --> 02:02:34.720
there at the local level, and
whether it's going to be wooden coins,

1408
02:02:34.840 --> 02:02:40.039
certainly, if you've got your own
gold or silver, that's going to be

1409
02:02:40.119 --> 02:02:44.640
something that is always going to be
tradable. You know, a wooden coin

1410
02:02:45.119 --> 02:02:48.960
is a fiat currency in a sense, So have something that is physical that

1411
02:02:49.119 --> 02:02:56.239
is there and as a backup to
try to stay out of this criminal system

1412
02:02:57.279 --> 02:03:01.279
as it looks like it's about to
collapse get much worse again. Tony Ardaban

1413
02:03:01.279 --> 02:03:04.920
has set up David Knight dot gold
to take you to Wisewolf Gold. You

1414
02:03:04.960 --> 02:03:10.720
can go there and he will help
you with any transaction, any size,

1415
02:03:11.279 --> 02:03:15.520
and he never runs out. He
will catch the price there that the current

1416
02:03:15.560 --> 02:03:18.159
price that he quotes you and he'll
lock that in and he can always get

1417
02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:23.520
that for you and got many ways
that you can purchase there. But it

1418
02:03:23.600 --> 02:03:27.720
supports the program as well. Tony's
always been a supporter of this program.

1419
02:03:27.920 --> 02:03:30.279
David Knight dot gold to take you
to Tony Ardaban at Wiswolf dot Gold.

1420
02:03:30.319 --> 02:03:32.720
We're going to take a quick break
and when we come back, we're going

1421
02:03:32.760 --> 02:03:38.359
to talk to John Cox, an
attorney at CPA. Also he's a candidate

1422
02:03:38.399 --> 02:03:44.840
for governor in California. He's written
a book about Gavin Newsom, Newsom's Nightmare.

1423
02:03:45.720 --> 02:03:47.479
I think it's going to be very
interesting. We will be right back.

The seed in our home, my boys,

1428
02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:12.640
then let go where all can see
be it with our devotion. Boys

1429
02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:17.840
call it the Liberty Tree. It's
all low tree and the storm old tree.

1430
02:04:18.560 --> 02:04:21.560
And we are the sons just they
are the sons, the sons of

1431
02:04:21.800 --> 02:05:17.359
liberty. Liberty, it's your move. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

1432
02:05:19.960 --> 02:05:23.119
Well, joining us now is John
Cox. As I said, he

1433
02:05:23.199 --> 02:05:25.960
is a CPA, he's an attorney, and he has been a candidate for

1434
02:05:26.199 --> 02:05:31.439
California governor, and he's written a
book mount Gavin Newsom, Newsom's Nightmare,

1435
02:05:31.880 --> 02:05:34.760
and so it's good to have you
on. John. I'm so sorry that

1436
02:05:34.800 --> 02:05:39.600
you live in California. Thank you, thank you. Well, you know,

1437
02:05:39.920 --> 02:05:44.640
the weather's pretty darn good, David. That's why that's why I stay

1438
02:05:44.680 --> 02:05:47.119
out there, and that's why there's
a whole bunch of great companies that are

1439
02:05:47.159 --> 02:05:53.359
out there despite Gavin Newsom. And
that's I think the message of the book.

1440
02:05:53.560 --> 02:05:57.840
The book is called, by the
way, the Newsom Nightmare. Uh

1441
02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:01.920
So it's available on Amazon and any
place good books are sold, and I

1442
02:06:01.920 --> 02:06:05.359
hope people get a chance to read
it because I think mister Newsom is going

1443
02:06:05.439 --> 02:06:09.039
to make a play to be the
president of the United States. If not

1444
02:06:09.079 --> 02:06:12.720
in twenty four, it'll be twenty
eight. I agree. People want to

1445
02:06:12.760 --> 02:06:15.359
know about his record. They don't
know about his background. They don't know

1446
02:06:15.399 --> 02:06:18.680
about what he will do to the
country or how he will lead the country.

1447
02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:23.479
And I think that's very germane.
I agree. And of course we

1448
02:06:23.520 --> 02:06:26.680
all know that even if he doesn't
run for president, and even if he

1449
02:06:26.720 --> 02:06:30.439
doesn't get elected president or whatever,
what he does there is governor of California

1450
02:06:30.479 --> 02:06:32.239
has a tremendous impact across the country. We'll talk about that in a moment.

1451
02:06:32.359 --> 02:06:38.920
Let's talk a little bit about his
possible presidency this year. For example,

1452
02:06:38.960 --> 02:06:43.079
you know, Biden is eighty one, and he's not a young eighty

1453
02:06:43.119 --> 02:06:47.439
one either. He failed the full
effect of all those years. It'll be

1454
02:06:47.520 --> 02:06:50.319
eighty six by the end of the
term. And so you know, people

1455
02:06:50.319 --> 02:06:55.359
are looking at this. I look
at even his running mate, La La

1456
02:06:55.439 --> 02:06:58.720
Harris, I call her, but
because she's kind of in La La lamb,

1457
02:06:58.760 --> 02:07:01.039
but she's you know, I look
at this. They might replace her,

1458
02:07:01.279 --> 02:07:05.439
they might replace both of them.
And you know, Trump is also

1459
02:07:05.439 --> 02:07:09.159
getting pretty old. He's he's seventy
seven. He'll be eighty one by the

1460
02:07:09.239 --> 02:07:12.319
end of this next term, so
he would end up the same age as

1461
02:07:12.319 --> 02:07:15.279
Biden, but he seems to be
physically in better shape. And so there's

1462
02:07:15.359 --> 02:07:17.600
a lot when you look at this
and if they get rid of Biden,

1463
02:07:17.760 --> 02:07:20.319
and a lot of people in the
Democrat Party are really pushing for that,

1464
02:07:21.000 --> 02:07:27.760
the likely candidates I think to replace
Biden would be either Michelle Obama or Gavin

1465
02:07:27.840 --> 02:07:32.119
Newsom. But Gavin Newsom is in
office and he is having an effect as

1466
02:07:32.119 --> 02:07:34.560
he is. You know, the
things that he's doing right now are having

1467
02:07:34.640 --> 02:07:39.239
effect right now on everybody across the
country. How did you think he did

1468
02:07:39.319 --> 02:07:45.760
in terms of the debate that he
had with Hannity and DeSantis Unfox News.

1469
02:07:45.680 --> 02:07:48.239
I think he did what he wanted
to do, and that is he wanted

1470
02:07:48.279 --> 02:07:53.720
to introduce himself more to the nation, to a different audience. Frankly,

1471
02:07:53.800 --> 02:07:57.520
I mean, he's been on MSNBC
and CNN quite a bit, so he

1472
02:07:57.560 --> 02:08:01.319
doesn't need to introduce himself to those
audiences as the Fox audience. Obviously,

1473
02:08:01.319 --> 02:08:05.840
there are different people that don't ordinarily
see what he's doing. They see a

1474
02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:11.479
lot of the criticisms, but you
know, Newsom came off glib, came

1475
02:08:11.520 --> 02:08:16.760
off well spoken. He came off
citing a whole bunch of statistics that sounded

1476
02:08:18.119 --> 02:08:22.520
great. Gee, it's no revelation
that a lot of great companies have started

1477
02:08:24.119 --> 02:08:30.079
in California. Sales Force, Apple, Google, all these great trillion dollar

1478
02:08:30.239 --> 02:08:35.520
plus companies based themselves in California.
And who wouldn't you know? I live

1479
02:08:35.600 --> 02:08:39.600
in California because I just love the
weather and the ocean and the natural beauty.

1480
02:08:39.720 --> 02:08:43.560
And if you know, if you're
a smart guy with a great business

1481
02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:46.159
idea, sure you're going to want
to start your business where you can live

1482
02:08:46.199 --> 02:08:50.199
the best life you can and that's
the place for the best weather. But

1483
02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:56.319
they quickly, they quickly discover,
however, that the government that Newsome leads

1484
02:08:56.159 --> 02:09:01.520
is nothing short of spectacularly in in
your life. They want to tax you

1485
02:09:01.560 --> 02:09:05.640
to death. And so a whole
bunch of those companies have decided to ultimately

1486
02:09:05.760 --> 02:09:11.359
leave, like Tesla, but Nestley, Toyota. You know, I can

1487
02:09:11.479 --> 02:09:16.079
name a whole bunch of companies and
people that have left. They've moved to

1488
02:09:16.159 --> 02:09:22.479
Tennessee or Florida or Texas, where
there's obviously zero tax and where regulation is

1489
02:09:22.520 --> 02:09:26.479
not going to strangle their future.
And you know, they may still keep

1490
02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:30.000
their homes, by the way,
in California, I'm certain that most of

1491
02:09:30.039 --> 02:09:35.560
them do. But the government of
California does its best to chase productive people

1492
02:09:35.600 --> 02:09:41.239
out of the state or productive businesses, and also make it very very difficult

1493
02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:43.119
for the rest of the people.
If you're not in the top one percent

1494
02:09:43.159 --> 02:09:50.119
in California, you're living a very
difficult life. The cost of living,

1495
02:09:50.600 --> 02:09:56.119
shortages of energy, water, housing, homelessness all over the place, wildfires,

1496
02:09:56.319 --> 02:10:01.199
crime, regular le I think of
when I look at the it's the

1497
02:10:01.319 --> 02:10:05.880
home issue, right, and the
homelessness, but even to the fact that

1498
02:10:05.159 --> 02:10:09.479
people can't afford to buy a home. And this is absolutely amazing, the

1499
02:10:09.520 --> 02:10:15.479
pictures of people that you see living
out of RVs and just lining the road

1500
02:10:15.800 --> 02:10:18.079
for as far as you can see, living out of their RVs, and

1501
02:10:18.119 --> 02:10:22.520
then the homeless people who don't even
have an RV, and all that is

1502
02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:28.159
really a function of when you've got
a state that is as prosperous as that,

1503
02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:33.720
and you see that kind of abject
poverty contrasted with the amazing amounts of

1504
02:10:33.800 --> 02:10:39.600
wealth that happens because of government policies
and because it is doing that. That's

1505
02:10:39.039 --> 02:10:45.560
that's not a natural situation. I'm
in the housing industry, David, that's

1506
02:10:45.600 --> 02:10:50.239
my business. I build and manage
apartments. I don't own anything in California.

1507
02:10:50.600 --> 02:10:56.960
Right now, I'm building about twelve
twelve hundred units outside of Indianapolis,

1508
02:10:56.000 --> 02:11:01.399
India. Indiana is a great example
of a state that treats business well,

1509
02:11:01.479 --> 02:11:07.359
that isn't owned by trial lawyers,
that doesn't have huge deficits or pension deficits.

1510
02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:13.000
And I can build wonderful apartments in
Indiana for under two hundred thousand dollars

1511
02:11:13.039 --> 02:11:20.560
a unit, just gorgeous granite countertops, beautiful appliances. Those same units in

1512
02:11:20.600 --> 02:11:24.279
California, David, would be five
six hundred thousand dollars in most of the

1513
02:11:24.319 --> 02:11:28.800
state. And you know, that's
a very big difference in terms of your

1514
02:11:30.119 --> 02:11:33.680
lifestyle and what you're able to afford
and how competitive you are in the rest

1515
02:11:33.680 --> 02:11:37.319
of the country. It's just so
sad. And it's mostly, as you

1516
02:11:37.359 --> 02:11:43.359
said, government that drives up that
cost difference. And you know, lumber

1517
02:11:43.399 --> 02:11:46.119
and windows don't cost a whole lot
more in Indiana than they do in California.

1518
02:11:46.199 --> 02:11:50.039
It's the other things. Yeah,
And it's stuff like fuel right,

1519
02:11:50.600 --> 02:11:54.119
fuel is more expensive in California that
it is in other places. They got

1520
02:11:54.119 --> 02:11:58.079
their own special It's like having an
own special wood or something. Right,

1521
02:11:58.279 --> 02:12:03.279
they have to have bespoke gasoline.
That so they've got some refineries that only

1522
02:12:03.399 --> 02:12:07.000
produced the special blend that California demands. And so between that and the really

1523
02:12:07.079 --> 02:12:11.600
high taxes is I've reported on the
prices of gasoline going up and everything,

1524
02:12:11.720 --> 02:12:16.720
California is way ahead of even the
number two. And so it's even more

1525
02:12:16.920 --> 02:12:20.920
than the taxes. It's also the
regulations that he has on the formulation of

1526
02:12:20.039 --> 02:12:26.039
the fuel. There this gets to
the essence of Gavin Newsom, and that

1527
02:12:26.279 --> 02:12:33.600
is he appeals to people on a
gut level on some very high emotional issues

1528
02:12:33.000 --> 02:12:39.680
like abortion, guns, and climate
change. It's part of this whole thing

1529
02:12:39.720 --> 02:12:43.399
to scare the Bejesus out of people. You know. The gasoline formulation that

1530
02:12:43.479 --> 02:12:50.359
California uses, David makes the tiniest
little bit of difference in the atal pollution

1531
02:12:50.479 --> 02:12:54.119
of the world. I mean it
is a fraction of a fraction of a

1532
02:12:54.199 --> 02:13:01.279
fraction. In India and China are
spewing carbon into the atmosphere like nobody's business

1533
02:13:01.359 --> 02:13:05.760
these days. And the tiny little
difference that California makes is ridiculously small.

1534
02:13:07.279 --> 02:13:11.760
Yet this is what drives Gavin Newsom, and this is what the media loves.

1535
02:13:11.840 --> 02:13:16.199
The media loves to herald this stuff
and why because it gets clicks and

1536
02:13:16.239 --> 02:13:22.079
it gets eyeballs. And this is
the essence of Gavin Newsom's entire political agenda,

1537
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:28.760
and that is focus on these emotional
scare tactics and highly emotional social and

1538
02:13:28.800 --> 02:13:35.239
other issues ignore the stuff that truly
makes a difference in people's lives, like

1539
02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:43.560
energy, water, housing, safety, cleanliness, homelessness, all these things

1540
02:13:43.640 --> 02:13:48.359
that really have an effect on people's
lives. And he's able to roll to

1541
02:13:48.560 --> 02:13:54.720
electoral victories because so many people just
pay attention to these highly emotional issues and

1542
02:13:54.800 --> 02:13:58.720
they don't think that you can do
anything about these other bread and butter,

1543
02:13:58.760 --> 02:14:03.760
meat and potatoes issues. And that's
what I talk about in my book and

1544
02:14:03.960 --> 02:14:07.880
what I'm also proposing in my book, David, is a way to get

1545
02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:13.640
the electorate to finally pay attention to
these things and get involved in the process

1546
02:14:13.720 --> 02:14:18.960
so that they really pay attention to
who they're voting for and why they're voting

1547
02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:24.199
for these candidates. It is so
hard to get people to focus though on

1548
02:14:24.520 --> 02:14:26.960
their policy right and on their records, and I beat my head against the

1549
02:14:28.000 --> 02:14:31.239
wall trying to get Republicans to do
the same thing. It's like, Okay,

1550
02:14:31.399 --> 02:14:33.239
yes, you hate this policy,
you hated the lockdown, but you're

1551
02:14:33.279 --> 02:14:37.479
supporting the guy that did the lockdown. What is going on with all this?

1552
02:14:37.560 --> 02:14:41.319
And of course, you know with
Gavin Newsom, he is very telegenic.

1553
02:14:41.520 --> 02:14:43.079
You know, he looks like he
came out of Central Casting there in

1554
02:14:43.119 --> 02:14:46.920
Hollywood, and you know, he
and his wife. And yet you know,

1555
02:14:46.960 --> 02:14:48.399
when you start looking at what he
did, it's like, WHOA,

1556
02:14:48.640 --> 02:14:52.880
I was so disappointed to see.
You know, in California the people voted

1557
02:14:52.960 --> 02:14:58.239
him in again, even with everything
that had happened there. And yet it's

1558
02:14:58.279 --> 02:15:01.239
not surprising because the Republican are doing
the same thing. They don't want to

1559
02:15:01.279 --> 02:15:03.560
hold anybody accountable for anything that happened
in the last three years or even before

1560
02:15:03.600 --> 02:15:09.520
that. And why is that,
David? The reason is is that most

1561
02:15:09.640 --> 02:15:16.039
voters don't watch your podcast. They
don't get any kind of a glimpse of

1562
02:15:16.079 --> 02:15:20.439
the detailed issues that they ought to
be focused on. All they get fed

1563
02:15:20.119 --> 02:15:26.239
is a diet, a steady diet
of twenty or thirty second ads or memes

1564
02:15:26.279 --> 02:15:30.560
on social media. They never have
a chance to have a conversation like you

1565
02:15:30.600 --> 02:15:33.680
and I are having right now.
They just sit there and they mindlessly look

1566
02:15:33.720 --> 02:15:37.600
at their phones and they see something
and they say, oh gee, I

1567
02:15:37.600 --> 02:15:39.960
don't like that, and they vote
for a guy based upon what his opponent

1568
02:15:41.000 --> 02:15:45.439
says. They don't get a chance
to actually discuss issues. So what I'm

1569
02:15:45.520 --> 02:15:50.000
proposing in my book, and this
is really important, David, is a

1570
02:15:50.159 --> 02:15:56.960
revolution in how we elect our elected
leaders. I'm proposing that we change that

1571
02:15:58.000 --> 02:16:05.800
we tweak our election processes with regard
to Congress, especially to get people more

1572
02:16:05.880 --> 02:16:09.800
involved in getting to the essence of
a lot of these issues, where it's

1573
02:16:11.039 --> 02:16:16.079
more than just a thirty second TV
ad and it's more than just a meme.

1574
02:16:16.640 --> 02:16:22.239
It's an actual conversation that every voter
can have with their representative, which

1575
02:16:22.359 --> 02:16:26.439
they don't get a chance to.
Now. Yeah, tells me about that

1576
02:16:26.680 --> 02:16:30.720
key thing because you lay out the
problems. But you know, unlike,

1577
02:16:31.760 --> 02:16:33.479
we've got to get past the point
of just laying out problems. We've got

1578
02:16:33.520 --> 02:16:37.479
to have some solutions because things are
changing very quickly. So that's one of

1579
02:16:37.479 --> 02:16:39.120
the reasons I wanted to talk to
you about that. You've got an organization

1580
02:16:39.399 --> 02:16:45.159
here, thepeople dot org. Yes, tell us how that your vision for

1581
02:16:45.239 --> 02:16:50.479
how that would change the electoral process. The essence of this is the people's

1582
02:16:50.520 --> 02:16:54.399
House, David, the Congress.
It was intended by our founders to be

1583
02:16:54.559 --> 02:16:58.959
the people's house. But because they
limited the number to four hundred and thirty

1584
02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:03.799
five about a century ago, the
average congressional district is seven hundred and fifty

1585
02:17:03.879 --> 02:17:09.399
thousand people. Now it's just impossible
for people to actually know their congressmen,

1586
02:17:09.440 --> 02:17:13.879
and they don't. They only see
them on TV. That's right. So

1587
02:17:13.159 --> 02:17:18.239
yeah, let me just interject.
Even thirty thirty five years or so ago,

1588
02:17:18.280 --> 02:17:20.639
when I ran for Congress, it
was about a half a million,

1589
02:17:20.799 --> 02:17:24.399
and now it's going to seven hundred
and fifty or half a million, now's

1590
02:17:24.399 --> 02:17:28.600
going to seven hundred and fifty thousand, and so you're getting less and less

1591
02:17:30.360 --> 02:17:35.040
representation, as you will. Sorry, Yes, and so the idea is

1592
02:17:35.159 --> 02:17:41.680
very simple, David. Plice that
big district into one hundred little tiny districts.

1593
02:17:41.760 --> 02:17:48.200
Yes, so that each district's only
seventy five hundred people. You're not

1594
02:17:48.280 --> 02:17:52.440
going to use television to reach those
seventy five hundred people. You're not going

1595
02:17:52.520 --> 02:17:56.000
to use social media. You're not
going to blast radio ads to all of

1596
02:17:56.040 --> 02:18:01.280
them. What you're going to be
forced to do is actually go and have

1597
02:18:01.399 --> 02:18:07.040
a conversation. Because seventy five hundred
people is only about three thousand households,

1598
02:18:07.680 --> 02:18:11.319
and you can have a conversation with
a couple thousand people. You just have

1599
02:18:11.399 --> 02:18:16.479
to spend a few weekends doing it. But you can actually get to know

1600
02:18:16.559 --> 02:18:20.799
your constituents, and more importantly,
your constituents can know who you are,

1601
02:18:20.040 --> 02:18:24.120
and they can know what your background
is, and they can know that you

1602
02:18:24.239 --> 02:18:28.280
have the character and the confidence and
the leadership ability to actually do something.

1603
02:18:28.559 --> 02:18:33.399
Now, as a practical effect,
what ends up happening is that these hundred

1604
02:18:33.479 --> 02:18:37.399
people who are elected in these little, tiny districts, they get together at

1605
02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:43.440
a meeting and they select one person
to go to Washington. The other ninety

1606
02:18:43.520 --> 02:18:48.000
nine stay home, and they don't
have an office, they don't have a

1607
02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:52.479
pension, they don't have a staff. Their entire job is to get together

1608
02:18:52.639 --> 02:18:58.079
every two years and decide on the
guy to go to Washington, and then

1609
02:18:58.120 --> 02:19:03.319
they monitor what that guy does in
Washington. But you know what that guy

1610
02:19:03.360 --> 02:19:09.639
in Washington is not going to do. David he's not going to spend six

1611
02:19:09.680 --> 02:19:13.879
hours of every day on the telephone
begging for money. That's right, that's

1612
02:19:13.959 --> 02:19:18.920
right. He's gonna study the issues. He's going to communicate with his constituents.

1613
02:19:20.319 --> 02:19:24.280
He's going to communicate with the ninety
nine people back home who sent him

1614
02:19:24.319 --> 02:19:28.600
there because he's got to get reelected
and those ninety nine hold the keys to

1615
02:19:28.639 --> 02:19:33.559
that right. So he's going to
keep them informed, and each of those

1616
02:19:33.639 --> 02:19:39.360
are going to in turn keep their
own constituents informed. What this does,

1617
02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:43.719
David, is it really puts the
people back in charge of the people's House.

1618
02:19:43.479 --> 02:19:50.000
And I think it would change politics
up and down the political spectrum because

1619
02:19:50.000 --> 02:19:56.319
people then would feel like their voice
would be heard, and their elected leaders

1620
02:19:56.360 --> 02:20:01.200
would actually respond to their voice and
would have an interest in doing that.

1621
02:20:01.280 --> 02:20:05.360
And it wouldn't be in through the
media. I think the media, the

1622
02:20:05.440 --> 02:20:09.440
media has gotten way too much power
in this country. I hope you agree

1623
02:20:09.479 --> 02:20:11.440
with that, even though you're a
member. Oh yeah, No, I

1624
02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:13.879
don't consider myself to be a media
a member of the media, and they

1625
02:20:13.879 --> 02:20:18.280
don't either to be that. Yeah, And what you're saying is so true.

1626
02:20:18.479 --> 02:20:22.920
And I remember in the early nineties
we talked about the New Hampshire State

1627
02:20:22.000 --> 02:20:26.879
Legislature and it had that's where I
got this idea, Yes, where I

1628
02:20:26.879 --> 02:20:28.719
got that idea in the early nineties. I don't know what it is right

1629
02:20:28.719 --> 02:20:31.280
now, but they said if you
spent more than a thousand dollars running for

1630
02:20:31.319 --> 02:20:35.040
office, that accused you're trying to
buy the election. And yet at that

1631
02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:39.520
time, you know a routine and
you know for people to spend you know,

1632
02:20:39.559 --> 02:20:43.360
over one hundred thousand dollars running for
Congress at that time. And that's

1633
02:20:43.399 --> 02:20:46.719
the problem is that we've allowed this. If you look at the constitution,

1634
02:20:48.159 --> 02:20:50.280
it said, well, we're going
to have like thirty thousand people, one

1635
02:20:50.319 --> 02:20:54.280
representative for every thirty thousand people,
were not going to go past fifty.

1636
02:20:54.479 --> 02:20:56.239
And then they just they didn't even
go without at the very beginning. They

1637
02:20:56.280 --> 02:21:00.280
just kind of threw that away and
then they fixed it and said, we

1638
02:21:00.319 --> 02:21:03.399
don't care how rapidly the population grows, and we don't care, you know,

1639
02:21:03.440 --> 02:21:07.639
about any of this, except we're
going to have this fixed number of

1640
02:21:07.760 --> 02:21:11.680
representatives. And I think you're exactly
right. That's the one of the ways

1641
02:21:11.680 --> 02:21:15.319
that we actually get a representative government
is to increase the number of people.

1642
02:21:15.399 --> 02:21:16.680
And when we would talk about this
thirty years ago. People say, well,

1643
02:21:16.680 --> 02:21:18.440
it's just not practical do it,
and it's like, no, you

1644
02:21:18.440 --> 02:21:22.120
could do it today. And you
could certainly do it today now that you've

1645
02:21:22.120 --> 02:21:24.079
got the zoom technology and all the
rest of stuff that everybody had to live

1646
02:21:24.120 --> 02:21:26.879
by over the last three years,
is not even a question as to whether

1647
02:21:26.959 --> 02:21:30.120
or not that be a viable way
to do it. And you'd have the

1648
02:21:30.200 --> 02:21:33.959
people living in their district instead of
maybe traveling to Washington. You know,

1649
02:21:33.959 --> 02:21:37.879
they could still do their work by
telecommuting or something like that. But you're

1650
02:21:37.959 --> 02:21:45.799
so right. The Internet actually multiplies
the opportunity for this because let's say I'm

1651
02:21:46.159 --> 02:21:50.600
the representative of my own little tiny
district of seventy five hundred people. It's

1652
02:21:50.600 --> 02:21:54.559
a few thousand households. Well,
you know, once I met every one

1653
02:21:54.600 --> 02:21:56.799
of those people, they know me, they trust me. I'll be able

1654
02:21:56.840 --> 02:22:00.840
to send them emails, I'll be
able to ask them questions. They'll be

1655
02:22:00.840 --> 02:22:05.639
able to ask me questions. If
any of them is a crackpot and ask

1656
02:22:05.760 --> 02:22:09.239
me wild idiotic questions, I can
certainly put them in the background, but

1657
02:22:09.319 --> 02:22:13.559
I'll be able to focus on the
people of my district who have real concerns,

1658
02:22:13.920 --> 02:22:18.799
and I'll be able to then communicate
those concerns to the guy that we

1659
02:22:18.920 --> 02:22:22.799
sent to Washington. That guy that
we send to Washington, he's going to

1660
02:22:22.920 --> 02:22:26.040
listen to me because I'm one of
the ninety nine who sent him there.

1661
02:22:26.479 --> 02:22:30.239
And it won't be. It won't
be because I gave him a whole bunch

1662
02:22:30.280 --> 02:22:35.719
of money, right like a union
boss or a big corporation of something like

1663
02:22:35.760 --> 02:22:39.040
that. He'll listen to me because
he knows I'm one of those ninety nine

1664
02:22:39.280 --> 02:22:43.959
and I can unelect him as much
as I can elect him. And that's

1665
02:22:43.120 --> 02:22:50.319
really accountable, responsive government, which
is what we ought, and it's republican.

1666
02:22:50.399 --> 02:22:56.559
It's a small, our republican government. Remember we're not a democracy,

1667
02:22:56.600 --> 02:23:01.200
We're a republican We're a representative republican
demodocracy, which means that we vote for

1668
02:23:01.239 --> 02:23:05.079
people to represent us. That's right, But that only works. That only

1669
02:23:05.120 --> 02:23:09.840
works, David, if those people
are actually responsive to us, If they're

1670
02:23:09.840 --> 02:23:15.840
only responsible to the people that give
them money for their campaigns, which we

1671
02:23:15.959 --> 02:23:20.040
know they are. That's right.
We've lost our representative republic, we really

1672
02:23:20.079 --> 02:23:24.600
have, and my goal here is
to get it back. Yeah, it's

1673
02:23:24.639 --> 02:23:26.719
interesting, you know, when we
look at what has happened in the government,

1674
02:23:26.719 --> 02:23:31.319
it is so rapidly distanced itself from
us. And I think about you.

1675
02:23:31.399 --> 02:23:35.239
We're just watching some old movies for
Christmas, and you have these situations

1676
02:23:35.239 --> 02:23:37.600
where you got, you know,
the cop on the beat, and he

1677
02:23:37.639 --> 02:23:39.879
would walk the beat and he knew
everybody. You know, he knew the

1678
02:23:39.920 --> 02:23:41.959
grocer, this person, and keep
on the street. He knew them,

1679
02:23:43.360 --> 02:23:45.879
and so you know he and if
you see somebody that he doesn't know,

1680
02:23:45.920 --> 02:23:46.879
he's kind of keeping an eye on
this, who's this guy? You know,

1681
02:23:46.959 --> 02:23:50.120
that type of thing. But we've
lost that personal touch with everything,

1682
02:23:50.360 --> 02:23:56.680
but nowhere more so than with the
congressional representatives. We don't know these guys.

1683
02:23:56.680 --> 02:23:58.760
They don't know us. And and
that's why it is so amazing when

1684
02:23:58.799 --> 02:24:03.520
you the details of these people's lives
that are running for office, that you

1685
02:24:03.559 --> 02:24:07.000
don't know these people at all.
They're so distant from you. And what

1686
02:24:07.440 --> 02:24:09.719
do they focus on each of these
people at rants for office. What they

1687
02:24:09.760 --> 02:24:15.559
focus on is getting on television,
getting famous. I mean, look at

1688
02:24:15.760 --> 02:24:18.760
in California right now. I'm supporting
them because I want to support a Republican,

1689
02:24:18.879 --> 02:24:24.040
But you know, Steve Garvey a
former baseball player is running for the

1690
02:24:24.120 --> 02:24:28.319
US Senate. God love him.
He'll be a million times better than Adam

1691
02:24:28.399 --> 02:24:31.920
Schiff or Barbara Lee or Katie Porter. Okay, but why why is he

1692
02:24:33.040 --> 02:24:37.079
running? Why is he the main
candidate on the Republican side. Well,

1693
02:24:37.239 --> 02:24:41.719
because he was in baseball for thirty
years or twenty five years. He got

1694
02:24:41.280 --> 02:24:45.920
name recognition being in baseball, and
so that all of a sudden makes them

1695
02:24:45.959 --> 02:24:50.040
a great candidate for the Senate.
I'm sorry, it's a celebrity, probably

1696
02:24:50.799 --> 02:24:56.120
a celebrity, and you know what, we need people who are true leaders.

1697
02:24:56.200 --> 02:24:58.719
You know, look at Gavin Newsom
and frankly, Donald Trump are the

1698
02:24:58.760 --> 02:25:05.360
same kind of person. They really
manipulate the media. Why do we know

1699
02:25:05.639 --> 02:25:09.840
Donald Trump so much? Because he's
been in the media for forty years and

1700
02:25:09.559 --> 02:25:13.760
you know, Gavin Newsom grew up
with the media. You know, his

1701
02:25:13.959 --> 02:25:20.000
family goes back to governors in California
and being part of that whole media thing.

1702
02:25:20.120 --> 02:25:24.920
But do they really have the leadership
qualities that we look to to be

1703
02:25:26.239 --> 02:25:31.959
real leaders and real truth tellers and
real competent, character, character filled leaders.

1704
02:25:33.399 --> 02:25:39.520
I'm sorry, we need good leaders. We need people of good character.

1705
02:25:39.600 --> 02:25:43.360
We need people who can empathize and
communicate with us and give us the

1706
02:25:43.399 --> 02:25:48.799
background of why these policies are important, not just staying close the border,

1707
02:25:50.040 --> 02:25:54.120
but tell us why that's important,
tell us how we're going to do that,

1708
02:25:54.159 --> 02:25:58.559
tell us the benefits and the burdens
of doing all these things. We

1709
02:25:58.600 --> 02:26:01.200
don't get those kinds of discussion day, but we just get some sound bite

1710
02:26:01.280 --> 02:26:07.719
somewhere, and I think that's really
really damaged our democracy and damaged our country.

1711
02:26:07.920 --> 02:26:09.440
And I think that's one of the
reasons why, you know, when

1712
02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:13.120
you look at Iowa and New Hampshire, they don't necessarily have great track records

1713
02:26:13.159 --> 02:26:16.799
in terms of picking who's going to
go on to win even the nomination.

1714
02:26:16.319 --> 02:26:20.600
But in those environments you have a
situation where they go into a pizza ranch

1715
02:26:20.600 --> 02:26:24.000
and they talk to people one on
yes, or they have you know,

1716
02:26:24.360 --> 02:26:28.959
even the caucuses or the voters interacting
with each other, or in New Hampshire.

1717
02:26:30.000 --> 02:26:31.600
You know, again, it's that
that that retail touch that you can

1718
02:26:31.639 --> 02:26:35.440
have, and that's just not doesn't
happen anywhere else. Everywhere else. It

1719
02:26:35.479 --> 02:26:39.959
becomes about the advertising budget. And
I know when I ran, the first

1720
02:26:39.040 --> 02:26:43.200
question that anybody in the media would
ask me was what's your budget? How

1721
02:26:43.239 --> 02:26:46.479
much money? Yeah, exactly how
much money have you raised? I'm not

1722
02:26:46.559 --> 02:26:50.239
interested because you're not going to be
running ads on my TV show, you

1723
02:26:50.280 --> 02:26:52.000
know, so I'm not interested in
you anymore. I can get the money

1724
02:26:52.079 --> 02:26:54.479
somewhere else. But you know,
that's what it's all about, the money,

1725
02:26:54.520 --> 02:26:58.200
and it's about the fundraising. With
the exception of those two places,

1726
02:26:58.200 --> 02:27:01.479
but we can see that you've got
to have that personal touch and people have

1727
02:27:01.559 --> 02:27:03.920
to know you. But they you
know, when you've got a celebrity like

1728
02:27:03.959 --> 02:27:07.159
Steve Gary or you got somebody like
Donald Trump, because they watched them for

1729
02:27:07.319 --> 02:27:13.000
years on a program, and even
if it's not a reality program, even

1730
02:27:13.040 --> 02:27:16.520
if it's not sports, even if
it is like some scripted TV show,

1731
02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:22.040
they think they know that person and
they think they know them exactly you say

1732
02:27:22.040 --> 02:27:24.000
it. When the person dies,
everybody's like, Oh, I'm in mourning

1733
02:27:24.120 --> 02:27:26.719
for this guy that was in Friends
or whatever, you know, and it's

1734
02:27:26.760 --> 02:27:31.000
like, you don't know anything about
him, you know, But they get

1735
02:27:31.040 --> 02:27:35.319
as upset about that as they do
over their friends dying or something good.

1736
02:27:35.360 --> 02:27:39.120
They do think that they're friends with
these people on TV. And that's very

1737
02:27:39.159 --> 02:27:41.719
true with Kevin new Some people think
that they know this guy, they really

1738
02:27:41.840 --> 02:27:46.319
don't. They don't know anything about
his background. You know, his grandfather

1739
02:27:46.440 --> 02:27:52.920
helped Pat Brown get elected governor.
His father helped Jerry Brown get elected governor.

1740
02:27:52.399 --> 02:27:58.600
They have fed at the trough of
state politics for forty years. The

1741
02:27:58.680 --> 02:28:03.280
Newsomb family goes back, oh gosh, actually more than sixty years at the

1742
02:28:03.360 --> 02:28:09.319
power table, feeding off of government
in California. Squaw Valley, which is

1743
02:28:09.319 --> 02:28:13.959
now called the Palisades, a big
ski area, used to be owned by

1744
02:28:13.959 --> 02:28:20.760
the Newsom family. And why because
they leveraged their political connections. Newsom's father,

1745
02:28:20.920 --> 02:28:26.440
Gavin Newsom's father was the lawyer for
J. Paul Getty, the first

1746
02:28:26.520 --> 02:28:31.840
billionaire, and he opened doors and
he maneuvered the legal system to help the

1747
02:28:31.920 --> 02:28:35.479
Getty family get you know, and
keep their money. So you know,

1748
02:28:35.840 --> 02:28:39.200
there's so many connections here, but
people don't know that. They just think

1749
02:28:39.200 --> 02:28:43.440
that Gavin Newsom's this good looking guy
with great teeth and great hair, and

1750
02:28:43.719 --> 02:28:48.239
he spouts statistics that sound good.
Yeah, I mean if you look,

1751
02:28:48.440 --> 02:28:52.799
if you look through those statistics,
by the way, I mean, I

1752
02:28:52.840 --> 02:28:56.399
think he sat a whopper. During
that DeSantis debate, he said, somehow

1753
02:28:56.719 --> 02:29:03.680
California's middle class pays lower taxes than
Florida, which you know, I heard

1754
02:29:03.719 --> 02:29:07.239
this and I say, what planet
is he on? I mean, this

1755
02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:11.000
is nobody. The property taxes,
they've got to be the same, you

1756
02:29:11.040 --> 02:29:13.680
know. I know at Florida's property
taxes are a little bit higher because they

1757
02:29:13.680 --> 02:29:16.000
don't have an incompact, but they
don't have an income tax. And I

1758
02:29:16.000 --> 02:29:20.559
don't think that even their property taxes
are as high as California. I may

1759
02:29:20.600 --> 02:29:22.120
be wrong. Well, no,
not when you look at the cost of

1760
02:29:22.159 --> 02:29:26.360
housing in California. I mean,
our tax rate is only one percent,

1761
02:29:26.799 --> 02:29:31.799
but the average house here costs two
million dollars versus one million in Florida or

1762
02:29:31.920 --> 02:29:37.520
Texas. So I mean that means
your taxes are still one percent of two

1763
02:29:37.600 --> 02:29:41.879
million, which is twenty thousand.
Yeah, in Texas it might be it

1764
02:29:41.959 --> 02:29:45.760
might be two percent of one million, which is still twenty thousand. So

1765
02:29:45.799 --> 02:29:48.600
you're not going to be paying much
of a different tax bill. But you

1766
02:29:48.600 --> 02:29:52.520
know, that's kind of lost on
Gavin Newsom. I guess you know he

1767
02:29:52.559 --> 02:29:56.760
doesn't expect people to look beyond the
headlines there. Well, certainly he can

1768
02:29:56.799 --> 02:30:00.600
get away with it. And again
it's because you know the he he's been

1769
02:30:00.639 --> 02:30:05.559
trained and he's he's slick. Now, did you run for governor? Are

1770
02:30:05.559 --> 02:30:07.799
you going to run for guests?
You did well? I did. I

1771
02:30:09.360 --> 02:30:13.719
ran. The seat was open in
twenty eighteen after Jerry Brown left, and

1772
02:30:13.760 --> 02:30:18.159
I figured people were going to be
sick of Democratic policies, and so I

1773
02:30:18.280 --> 02:30:22.719
jumped into the race. I had
an idea about remaking the California Legislature in

1774
02:30:22.760 --> 02:30:28.159
the same way that I'm talking about
the Congress here, and unfortunately, people

1775
02:30:28.159 --> 02:30:31.399
just didn't pay attention. And you
know, the media knew. Some raised

1776
02:30:31.840 --> 02:30:37.440
millions, tens of millions of dollars
from the unions, from Hollywood, from

1777
02:30:37.440 --> 02:30:41.319
Silicon Valley, and you know,
the people that feed at the troth and

1778
02:30:41.639 --> 02:30:46.520
he buried me. But I'm staying
involved, and I think this is the

1779
02:30:46.600 --> 02:30:50.520
right thing. Well, he's absolutely
and I've mentioned this many times over the

1780
02:30:50.559 --> 02:30:54.559
years. That is the path.
And when you talk about doing that in

1781
02:30:54.600 --> 02:30:56.639
California, it needs to be done
at the state levels as well, because

1782
02:30:56.680 --> 02:31:00.719
the same thing we happened at the
state levels. We've frozen the number of

1783
02:31:00.840 --> 02:31:03.079
representatives to the State House and the
state Senate, and that type of thing

1784
02:31:03.319 --> 02:31:07.719
as a population everywhere has exploded.
I mean, you go back and you

1785
02:31:07.760 --> 02:31:11.360
look at the you know, seventeen
seventy sixty, what the population was of

1786
02:31:11.520 --> 02:31:16.239
just like three or four million or
something like that, and you know,

1787
02:31:16.399 --> 02:31:20.920
and there was real representation because people
really did know other people. And that's

1788
02:31:20.920 --> 02:31:24.879
the key thing. If it gets
really big, as you point out,

1789
02:31:24.920 --> 02:31:28.440
it's just going to be the people
with lots of money and organizations that are

1790
02:31:28.440 --> 02:31:31.239
going to manipulate them. That's who
they're going to answer to. They don't

1791
02:31:31.280 --> 02:31:33.319
know us, they don't share our
concerns, they don't live in our area.

1792
02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:35.319
And as I've said many times,
you know, even if you were

1793
02:31:35.360 --> 02:31:39.799
to go back and say we're going
to limit it to fifty thousand people,

1794
02:31:39.000 --> 02:31:43.680
you know, you'd wind up with
like eight thousand congressional representatives. And yeah,

1795
02:31:43.719 --> 02:31:46.120
and that's something unwieldy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but that

1796
02:31:46.120 --> 02:31:48.680
would that would be unwieldy. I
mean, people would look at that and

1797
02:31:48.719 --> 02:31:52.639
they would say, gee, a
body of eight thousand congressmen would be just

1798
02:31:52.920 --> 02:31:56.360
you'd never get anything done. You
know, there'd be may be just too

1799
02:31:56.399 --> 02:32:00.360
much tough. That might be.
That's why nature that might be a nice

1800
02:32:00.399 --> 02:32:03.799
speech, I get that, but
you know, the structure that we've come

1801
02:32:03.879 --> 02:32:09.079
up with here where you have one
hundred subdistricts and then you extend one person

1802
02:32:09.079 --> 02:32:15.559
who's responsive. I think that probably
works in a higher population area. People

1803
02:32:15.600 --> 02:32:18.520
can learn about this, by the
way, by going to Hearthepeople dot Org.

1804
02:32:20.079 --> 02:32:24.319
We're going to try to get this
done in a couple of states.

1805
02:32:24.360 --> 02:32:28.440
I think we're going to start maybe
with Arizona, and we're going to try

1806
02:32:28.479 --> 02:32:31.479
to get the state legislature to enact
this. By the way, that's an

1807
02:32:31.520 --> 02:32:37.120
important thing, David. I'm sure
you're a constitutionalist, but you realize the

1808
02:32:37.159 --> 02:32:46.239
Constitution in Article one gives each state
the ability to decide how to elect their

1809
02:32:46.319 --> 02:32:50.319
congressman. Yes, so this is
this is entirely constitutional, and a state,

1810
02:32:50.440 --> 02:32:56.159
all the state legislature has to do
is enact this and it will be

1811
02:32:56.239 --> 02:32:58.719
done for the next election. And
so that's what I like to plan there,

1812
02:32:58.719 --> 02:33:01.959
because you know, if you wanted
to say, well, we're going

1813
02:33:01.040 --> 02:33:03.840
to go back and we're going to
have you know, let's say, maybe

1814
02:33:03.840 --> 02:33:07.280
not eight thousand, we're going to
have you know, two thousand members of

1815
02:33:07.280 --> 02:33:11.280
Congress, so well they determine right
now, they said, that's our determination

1816
02:33:11.719 --> 02:33:16.840
how many are going to be there. But with your system, it spreads

1817
02:33:16.840 --> 02:33:22.280
out the representation without in a hierarchical
way. Right, instead of saying,

1818
02:33:22.280 --> 02:33:26.319
well, now we're going to send
more people to Washington, we say can't

1819
02:33:26.319 --> 02:33:30.559
do You still wind up getting that
representation, but in a hierarchical way.

1820
02:33:30.840 --> 02:33:35.000
That's great. In your example,
it would be up to the Congress itself

1821
02:33:35.319 --> 02:33:41.719
to change to go to two or
three thousand people, and they're not going

1822
02:33:41.799 --> 02:33:43.840
to do that. And why wouldn't
they do that because it would dilute their

1823
02:33:43.879 --> 02:33:48.799
power. Right, if you're one
of two thousand, you're going to have

1824
02:33:48.840 --> 02:33:52.319
a lot less power than one of
four hundred and thirty five. So that's

1825
02:33:52.360 --> 02:33:56.319
the last thing they're going to do. You're absolutely right. They're the ones

1826
02:33:56.399 --> 02:34:01.440
that frozen at four thirty five to
begin with, back in nineteen twenty or

1827
02:34:01.520 --> 02:34:05.559
so. So this is going to
be required to do, is each state

1828
02:34:05.680 --> 02:34:09.600
legislature is going to have to meet
and enact this statute. We have a

1829
02:34:09.639 --> 02:34:15.319
model statute, we've had draft,
so it's very easy to do. And

1830
02:34:15.360 --> 02:34:18.799
you know, think about the second. We're going to be able to make

1831
02:34:18.840 --> 02:34:24.760
an argument that who doesn't want this
change. The people who will fight this

1832
02:34:26.639 --> 02:34:31.879
are the media and the lobbyists.
Because they stand to lose that measure of

1833
02:34:31.959 --> 02:34:35.840
power. I think people will look
at that and say, hmm, who

1834
02:34:35.879 --> 02:34:39.559
do we want to have the power? Do we want the people to have

1835
02:34:39.639 --> 02:34:43.799
the power, or do we want
media and the lobbyists to have power.

1836
02:34:43.559 --> 02:34:48.559
I think the people are going to
say, gee, I like this idea

1837
02:34:48.680 --> 02:34:56.680
because it gives me a greater say
over my future and about our leaders,

1838
02:34:56.840 --> 02:35:03.680
not the media or the lobbyists.
And that's I think long overdue. So

1839
02:35:03.680 --> 02:35:07.479
we're going to start in one state. We think that once one or two

1840
02:35:07.520 --> 02:35:11.239
states does this and the rest of
the country hears about it, every state

1841
02:35:11.399 --> 02:35:15.360
is going to say, hey,
why don't we do this in our state?

1842
02:35:15.879 --> 02:35:18.760
And I think this is I think
this is a perfect time for this

1843
02:35:18.840 --> 02:35:20.639
as well, because we're at a
time right now where everybody is looking at

1844
02:35:20.639 --> 02:35:24.079
the institutions and they're saying, you
know, this just isn't working. You

1845
02:35:24.120 --> 02:35:28.799
know, I subscribe to the ideas
as trous and how in the fourth turning.

1846
02:35:28.799 --> 02:35:31.239
You know that this type of thing
happens like every eighty years, But

1847
02:35:31.520 --> 02:35:33.920
we can whether you see this as
a cycle or not, you can see

1848
02:35:33.920 --> 02:35:37.159
that this is really what is happening
that everybody is questioning the institutions, and

1849
02:35:37.200 --> 02:35:45.120
we're seeing at the state level a
lot of innovative approaches to change certain things.

1850
02:35:43.879 --> 02:35:50.319
Let's come up with some different ways
to It's kind of a backstop of

1851
02:35:50.360 --> 02:35:56.920
the financial system in case the Federal
Reserve really screws up, as many people

1852
02:35:56.959 --> 02:35:58.920
are worried that it's going to do. So you're seeing moves in terms of

1853
02:36:00.079 --> 02:36:03.840
like a financial backstop to what Washington
is doing, and many other things like

1854
02:36:03.879 --> 02:36:07.040
that to nullify what they're doing.
And so I think the time is ripe

1855
02:36:07.360 --> 02:36:09.159
for people to look at this and
say, wait a minute, let's change

1856
02:36:09.159 --> 02:36:13.079
the way that we select the congressman. We may not be able to change

1857
02:36:13.079 --> 02:36:16.639
the number of congressmen that we have, but we can certainly change the way

1858
02:36:16.639 --> 02:36:20.159
they're selected to make it more representative. And there's one word in all this,

1859
02:36:20.280 --> 02:36:26.680
David, and that word is accountability. Yeah, the people don't trust

1860
02:36:26.920 --> 02:36:31.600
the major institutions. And why because
they don't believe that they're accountable when they

1861
02:36:31.760 --> 02:36:35.719
mislead us, or when they give
us bad information, or when they give

1862
02:36:35.799 --> 02:36:41.479
us half the story. The big
deal with here the people is that you're

1863
02:36:41.520 --> 02:36:46.600
going to have a guy or a
girl in your district seventy five hundred people

1864
02:36:46.920 --> 02:36:52.120
who you know, and if that
person gives you bad information, or gives

1865
02:36:52.159 --> 02:36:56.959
you information that you know is not
true or doesn't pass the smell test,

1866
02:36:56.200 --> 02:37:01.799
or is just lacks common sense,
you're going to be able to hold that

1867
02:37:01.840 --> 02:37:07.520
person accountable and you're never going to
believe them again. What that means is

1868
02:37:07.559 --> 02:37:11.760
that the person who you would interact
with, you're going to be able to

1869
02:37:11.760 --> 02:37:16.520
hold accountable. And the ninety nine
are going to be able to hold accountable

1870
02:37:16.600 --> 02:37:20.959
that person that they've sent to Washington, d C. At the same time,

1871
02:37:20.760 --> 02:37:26.399
and they're going to be able to
hold that Congress accountable. That's a

1872
02:37:26.440 --> 02:37:31.879
really big thing. We've lost accountability
because it's all about media. It's all

1873
02:37:31.879 --> 02:37:35.360
about these sound bites, and it's
all about lobbyists and how you shave the

1874
02:37:35.399 --> 02:37:41.879
truth and telling half the story.
We've got to do away with that.

1875
02:37:41.920 --> 02:37:45.159
We've got to make our leaders accountable
to each one of us, and I

1876
02:37:45.200 --> 02:37:48.639
think this is a step in that
direction. Yeah, that's absolutely right.

1877
02:37:48.719 --> 02:37:52.479
Yeah. When you look at the
presidential bates are a good example. When

1878
02:37:52.479 --> 02:37:56.040
they get together, they talk about
the same issues, even though the issues

1879
02:37:56.079 --> 02:38:00.399
have changed significantly, same issues that
they talked about for decades, They skirt

1880
02:38:00.399 --> 02:38:03.239
around the issues, they talk past
each other, as we saw with Newsom

1881
02:38:03.760 --> 02:38:09.879
and DeSantis, and then they get
away with this because you've only got two

1882
02:38:09.959 --> 02:38:11.879
choices, and it's like, well, I don't like either one of these

1883
02:38:11.879 --> 02:38:15.879
guys, but I really can't stand
that guy because I've seen all these negative

1884
02:38:15.879 --> 02:38:18.360
ads. And also so I'll gote
for this guy even though I don't really

1885
02:38:18.399 --> 02:38:20.319
like him. And so all of
these things combined together, and we've got

1886
02:38:20.360 --> 02:38:24.079
to find a way to break through
that. And I like the bottom up

1887
02:38:24.079 --> 02:38:28.799
approach that you've got because we've really
got to take this back from the bottom

1888
02:38:28.920 --> 02:38:31.280
up. We can't take it back
from the top down. It's two corrupts

1889
02:38:31.280 --> 02:38:33.280
who's pointed out that Congress isn't going
to loot their power, they're not going

1890
02:38:33.319 --> 02:38:37.719
to do anything to change what they're
doing. Instead, they're trying to put

1891
02:38:37.719 --> 02:38:43.479
these tentacles further into our lives and
to micro manage more and more aspects of

1892
02:38:43.520 --> 02:38:46.280
our life at the local level.
And that's why I think you're starting to

1893
02:38:46.319 --> 02:38:52.319
see these approaches rising up at the
state level and below that are saying no,

1894
02:38:52.559 --> 02:38:54.120
we're not going to do that.
We're going to start taking back some

1895
02:38:54.159 --> 02:38:58.000
of our rightful power in all this. And you're absolutely right, by the

1896
02:38:58.000 --> 02:39:05.399
way, the answer to all this
is not media that's you know, telling

1897
02:39:05.520 --> 02:39:07.600
us what we want to hear in
sound bites. It's to get the people

1898
02:39:07.639 --> 02:39:13.000
back involved. You know, Fox
News was created as a reaction to the

1899
02:39:13.079 --> 02:39:18.479
liberal bent of ABC, CBS and
NBC, right, But now we've gone

1900
02:39:18.559 --> 02:39:22.120
to the Fox News silo and we
only hear certain things there, and then

1901
02:39:22.159 --> 02:39:28.000
we don't hear it over here and
on the major networks, so we're kind

1902
02:39:28.000 --> 02:39:31.399
of buffeted back and forth. And
you know, the people's reaction to all

1903
02:39:31.479 --> 02:39:35.000
this, David, is to just
turn off. I mean, you've seen

1904
02:39:35.520 --> 02:39:39.559
you've seen those interviews that they do
on the street, you know, Jesse

1905
02:39:39.680 --> 02:39:41.879
Waters or Jay Leno or one of
these. They go up and ask people,

1906
02:39:43.159 --> 02:39:46.799
you know, name the Supreme Court
justices or name your US senator.

1907
02:39:46.559 --> 02:39:52.280
Most people can't do it. Yeah, most people they have no knowledge of

1908
02:39:52.959 --> 02:39:58.440
politics, and why because they're so
detached from it. They've they've gotten moved

1909
02:39:58.600 --> 02:40:03.600
so far are away from it that
they just don't even want to get involved

1910
02:40:03.600 --> 02:40:07.120
anymore. And you can't blame it
because they don't have really any input into

1911
02:40:07.159 --> 02:40:11.680
it, right, You know,
it's become so distant from us it doesn't

1912
02:40:11.719 --> 02:40:15.559
really matter. And I look at
it even from that standpoint. I've gotten

1913
02:40:15.559 --> 02:40:18.319
to the point where it's like I'm
trying to focus on my local elections and

1914
02:40:18.360 --> 02:40:22.120
things like that, even to the
extent that you know, I look at

1915
02:40:22.159 --> 02:40:26.239
the national elections and there's lessons to
be learned there about the directions that they're

1916
02:40:26.280 --> 02:40:30.120
going to come at us with.
But I'm you know, if for the

1917
02:40:30.159 --> 02:40:33.079
real practical stuff, you got to
focus on what's local, and so we

1918
02:40:33.159 --> 02:40:35.520
got to grow this from the bottom
up. That is a great idea.

1919
02:40:35.600 --> 02:40:39.799
I love that, and so that
is also discussed in your book about Newsome

1920
02:40:39.959 --> 02:40:45.120
is a solution. This is good. And there's also a website there as

1921
02:40:45.159 --> 02:40:50.399
well. We here thepeople dot org. Here thepeople dot org is the plan

1922
02:40:50.799 --> 02:40:54.920
laid out there that people can see
what that looks like. But before we

1923
02:40:54.000 --> 02:40:58.280
leave, you know, tell us
a little bit more about you know,

1924
02:40:58.399 --> 02:41:03.399
just just talk about how California,
whether or not Newsome runs for president or

1925
02:41:03.959 --> 02:41:11.079
God forbid, gets elected president,
the impact that he has on all of

1926
02:41:11.159 --> 02:41:15.479
us, whether it is you know, the kind of car that we drive

1927
02:41:15.719 --> 02:41:20.600
or the appliances that we have,
and it falls back to the activist government

1928
02:41:20.600 --> 02:41:24.760
in California and just how big they
are compared to other states, and how

1929
02:41:24.799 --> 02:41:28.760
they can throw that weight around,
isn't it. Well, Listen, Gavin

1930
02:41:28.840 --> 02:41:33.319
Newsom will survive Gavin Newsom if he
gets to be president. We survived Barack

1931
02:41:33.399 --> 02:41:35.879
Obama. I think our system is
strong enough. But you know what,

1932
02:41:37.360 --> 02:41:41.719
we won't make the same amount of
progress. People won't have the same opportunities,

1933
02:41:41.959 --> 02:41:43.719
and I think our country will get
weaker. And if our country gets

1934
02:41:43.760 --> 02:41:48.520
weaker, I think the world is
worse off for that reason. You know,

1935
02:41:48.920 --> 02:41:52.719
I'm involved in a movie about Ronald
Reagan right now. It's going to

1936
02:41:52.799 --> 02:41:58.040
come out in a couple of months. And you know Reagan, you know,

1937
02:41:58.239 --> 02:42:03.040
took over for Jimmy Carter. We
were a weak nation made weaker by

1938
02:42:03.159 --> 02:42:05.440
Jimmy Carter. We had inflation,
we had an oil crisis, we had

1939
02:42:05.479 --> 02:42:11.319
threats from the Soviet Union. Reagan
turned us around and said that we could

1940
02:42:11.399 --> 02:42:15.840
do better, and we could grow
and give more people opportunity. We just

1941
02:42:15.959 --> 02:42:18.440
got to get government out of the
way. Well, you're absolutely right,

1942
02:42:18.879 --> 02:42:22.799
Gavin Newsom is one of those that
wants to empower government. You know,

1943
02:42:24.000 --> 02:42:28.680
Hugo Chavez was the same in Venezuela. He promised people better stuff through the

1944
02:42:28.719 --> 02:42:33.200
government. You know Castro did the
same for Cuba. Oh you're going to

1945
02:42:33.280 --> 02:42:37.399
get better healthcare, You're going to
get better this than that. And guess

1946
02:42:37.479 --> 02:42:43.200
what spectacular failures. I don't want
to see the United States go down that

1947
02:42:43.360 --> 02:42:48.760
route. And let me tell you, Joe Biden has taken down us down

1948
02:42:48.799 --> 02:42:54.799
that route. Jimmy Carter tried to
Ronald Reagan saved us. I don't necessarily

1949
02:42:54.840 --> 02:42:58.079
see another Reagan on the horizon to
save us from Joe Biden. And if

1950
02:42:58.079 --> 02:43:03.200
it turns out to be Gavin Newsome, I think that could lead us further

1951
02:43:03.360 --> 02:43:09.280
down this road to more government,
more mismanagement, a lower standard of living,

1952
02:43:09.520 --> 02:43:13.799
a weaker country, a weaker,
more dangerous world. I don't want

1953
02:43:13.840 --> 02:43:18.280
to see that happen. I want
to see us become a better country.

1954
02:43:18.360 --> 02:43:22.280
And that's why I'm warning people about
Gavin Newsom. That's why I'm publishing this

1955
02:43:22.319 --> 02:43:26.000
book. That's why I'm appearing with
you and getting this idea out. Well,

1956
02:43:26.040 --> 02:43:28.959
talk a little bit about you know, we're all I to talk about

1957
02:43:28.959 --> 02:43:31.639
this a great deal on this program. You know, his energy policies,

1958
02:43:31.760 --> 02:43:35.639
his car policies and things like that
that have to effect on other people.

1959
02:43:35.719 --> 02:43:39.079
But also the immigration policy that he
has there, you know, the you

1960
02:43:39.159 --> 02:43:43.600
come in as an illegal immigrant.
As you point out, you've got Hugo

1961
02:43:43.680 --> 02:43:46.520
Chavez and you've got Castro promising all
this free stuff to everybody, which is

1962
02:43:46.520 --> 02:43:50.600
what the socialism and Marxists do.
But now we've got Gavin Newsom and other

1963
02:43:50.639 --> 02:43:54.840
people. I am promising it to
people in other countries. At least Hugo

1964
02:43:54.920 --> 02:43:58.559
Chavez was promising it to the Venezuelan's
He wasn't promising it to you know,

1965
02:43:58.600 --> 02:44:03.079
the people from Al Salvador or Peru
or Mexico or whatever. You know.

1966
02:44:03.120 --> 02:44:05.479
Gavin Newsom is promising it to the
world. Just come here, get across

1967
02:44:05.520 --> 02:44:09.959
that finish line and you're done.
You can collect unemployment, you get free

1968
02:44:11.000 --> 02:44:13.520
medical care and all the rest of
this. And of course that's going to

1969
02:44:13.520 --> 02:44:16.440
bankrupt us very rapidly. I think
that was the plan. You know,

1970
02:44:16.479 --> 02:44:20.639
Cloud and Piven economists talked about this
years ago. So the welfare state's not

1971
02:44:20.719 --> 02:44:24.159
growing quickly enough, and we can
make it grow even faster and make people

1972
02:44:24.239 --> 02:44:28.879
even more poor and more dependent on
government if we can do this, and

1973
02:44:28.920 --> 02:44:33.239
I think that's the real strategy that's
there talk about you know what is happening

1974
02:44:33.280 --> 02:44:37.399
with the immigration issues with Newsom.
Yeah, the border. Well, this

1975
02:44:37.959 --> 02:44:43.360
is a prime example of a false
choice that gets demogogued all the time,

1976
02:44:43.479 --> 02:44:46.399
David. And you know, I'm
a Jack Kemp Republican. I believe that

1977
02:44:46.440 --> 02:44:52.280
the United States has benefited tremendously from
bringing people who want to contribute to us

1978
02:44:52.639 --> 02:44:56.879
into the country. Most other countries
do the same thing. They have a

1979
02:44:58.120 --> 02:45:05.840
very strong immigration policy that welcomes people
who want to contribute to our growth and

1980
02:45:05.920 --> 02:45:09.959
our opportunity. But that's not what's
happening with our southern border. I mean

1981
02:45:09.040 --> 02:45:13.600
anybody, and anybody can come across
that border without any restrictions and without any

1982
02:45:13.639 --> 02:45:18.319
knowledge of who they are or what
they're planning to do. That's just as

1983
02:45:18.440 --> 02:45:24.120
wrong as a total closing of every
input to our country. We need to,

1984
02:45:24.159 --> 02:45:28.000
certainly, you know, get more
people. Our kids are not having

1985
02:45:28.120 --> 02:45:33.159
enough kids. I don't want to
see us end up like Japan, which

1986
02:45:33.200 --> 02:45:39.120
has a no growth economy and has
terrific problems caring for its elderly. We

1987
02:45:39.200 --> 02:45:43.239
need to have some growth, We
need to have controlled immigration. We need

1988
02:45:43.280 --> 02:45:48.399
to know who's coming into the country. This is a false choice. The

1989
02:45:48.479 --> 02:45:54.479
Democrats are just letting the borders completely
open, which is just so incredibly wrong

1990
02:45:54.000 --> 02:45:58.319
for our future. And frankly,
it's misleading to everybody who's coming in as

1991
02:45:58.319 --> 02:46:01.479
well. They think are going to
come here and live a wonderful life,

1992
02:46:01.879 --> 02:46:05.600
and a lot of them discover that
they're just not going to be able to.

1993
02:46:05.879 --> 02:46:09.559
Uh that's right. We need you
know, we need to make sure

1994
02:46:09.680 --> 02:46:13.719
that our borders are secure. You
can't have a secure country without it.

1995
02:46:13.239 --> 02:46:18.680
Uh and uh, you know,
this is another example of politicians who just

1996
02:46:18.760 --> 02:46:22.799
aren't leading. They're they're just not
leveling with the people. And on both

1997
02:46:22.840 --> 02:46:24.719
sides. Frankly, I agree,
I agree, yeah, because there's a

1998
02:46:24.760 --> 02:46:28.559
lot of you know, again,
if you point out legal immigration, knowing

1999
02:46:28.559 --> 02:46:31.879
who the people are, that's one
thing. But no matter what they do

2000
02:46:33.040 --> 02:46:37.200
at the border, if they've got
this massive welfare magnet pulling people across and

2001
02:46:37.239 --> 02:46:39.920
promising them free stuff, that's the
real issue. And we shouldn't have a

2002
02:46:39.920 --> 02:46:43.319
lot with people who want to work
and people want to be a contributing to

2003
02:46:43.639 --> 02:46:46.520
the to the economy, but we
ought to know who's coming in. You

2004
02:46:46.680 --> 02:46:56.280
just had this massive an Ecuador just
massive prison prison breaks and and drug cartels

2005
02:46:56.280 --> 02:47:00.000
and everything. So what are they
doing in neighboring Peru and other countries there's

2006
02:47:00.239 --> 02:47:03.920
well, we sent police to the
borders and we said you're not coming in

2007
02:47:03.959 --> 02:47:07.559
here unless you've got some kind of
paperwork from your government showing you don't have

2008
02:47:07.600 --> 02:47:11.920
a criminal record. We don't do
any of that stuff. They'll just come

2009
02:47:11.000 --> 02:47:16.000
up here, you know. And
they are yeah, and they are yeah,

2010
02:47:16.799 --> 02:47:18.760
yeah, they are coming up here. And you know, again,

2011
02:47:18.840 --> 02:47:24.239
the politicians just dither and demagogue and
they don't get the job done. They

2012
02:47:24.280 --> 02:47:26.559
need to be secure in the border, but then they need to make it

2013
02:47:26.680 --> 02:47:33.319
easier for quality people, for people
who are interested in working hard and contributing

2014
02:47:33.360 --> 02:47:37.799
to America. And you're absolutely right, by the way, the welfare state

2015
02:47:37.799 --> 02:47:41.559
in America is what's going to destroy
us. I mean, we have got

2016
02:47:41.680 --> 02:47:48.639
we're spending what six and a half
trillion dollars this year. We're only and

2017
02:47:48.680 --> 02:47:52.360
I say only raising four and a
half trillion from the tax revenue, which

2018
02:47:52.360 --> 02:47:56.879
by the way, is a record
that's a record amount of tax revenue.

2019
02:47:58.280 --> 02:48:01.840
But the politicians in Washington spending it, and what are they doing. They're

2020
02:48:01.879 --> 02:48:05.239
maintaining a welfare estate. You know, something like eighty percent of the people

2021
02:48:05.399 --> 02:48:11.479
now are on Medicaid. They've expanded
that all the way through all the states,

2022
02:48:11.959 --> 02:48:18.360
and governors like Newsome have willingly taken
this money. Interestingly, of course,

2023
02:48:18.520 --> 02:48:22.479
you know, DeSantis Abbott. A
lot of red steak governors have refused

2024
02:48:22.479 --> 02:48:26.680
it. And why because they know
it's a drugs It's going to be there

2025
02:48:26.719 --> 02:48:31.680
for one or two years and then
it's got to go because it's unsustainable and

2026
02:48:31.719 --> 02:48:33.959
they don't want to get tied into
this drug. They don't want to,

2027
02:48:35.520 --> 02:48:37.680
you know, balance their budgets on
Medicaid. They want to make sure that

2028
02:48:37.719 --> 02:48:43.239
they're sustainable. And it's not sustainable
for the government to have our entire medical

2029
02:48:43.280 --> 02:48:48.920
systems supported by the government. Our
medical system should be free market, just

2030
02:48:50.079 --> 02:48:56.120
like cars, just like energy,
just like every other good or service.

2031
02:48:56.280 --> 02:48:58.280
It ought to be free market,
ought to be driven by the private sector.

2032
02:48:58.479 --> 02:49:01.040
It ought to be driven by innovation, it ought to be driven by

2033
02:49:01.079 --> 02:49:05.360
competition. Putting it in the hands
of the government is the way surest way

2034
02:49:05.399 --> 02:49:07.120
to destroy it. Well, I
agree, and yet you look at this

2035
02:49:07.280 --> 02:49:11.319
last three years. They don't want
your physician to even have a say so

2036
02:49:11.399 --> 02:49:16.040
in your healthcare a loan you and
when you look at the strings that come

2037
02:49:16.079 --> 02:49:20.000
attached to this money that they give
you. That was kind of the way

2038
02:49:20.040 --> 02:49:22.920
they rolled this thing out. First, they gave a massive bonuses, you

2039
02:49:22.959 --> 02:49:28.319
know, to follow the Faucci protocols
in the hospitals. You diagnose somebody as

2040
02:49:28.399 --> 02:49:31.600
a COVID patient, will give you
twenty percent bonus. And then the next

2041
02:49:31.680 --> 02:49:35.799
year after the bribery, what follows
is the blackmail. We're not only going

2042
02:49:35.840 --> 02:49:39.200
to take away that bonus, but
we're going to take away all your Medicare

2043
02:49:39.239 --> 02:49:43.600
and Medicaid patients and bankrupt you if
you don't get all your staff shot you

2044
02:49:43.600 --> 02:49:46.000
know with a vacus who. Yeah, and guess who are some of the

2045
02:49:46.159 --> 02:49:50.159
guess who are some of the biggest
supporters of GAVENUWSOM in California? Healthcare?

2046
02:49:50.799 --> 02:49:56.239
Yeah, healthcare, healthcare entities.
Yeah. That's one thing we should talk

2047
02:49:56.280 --> 02:50:01.040
about is how they rolled out the
vaccine mandates in California. And I believe

2048
02:50:01.040 --> 02:50:03.680
that was under Newsom, wasn't it
where they started saying you're not going to

2049
02:50:03.719 --> 02:50:07.120
have any religious or medical exemptions for
any of these childhood vaccines. They've been

2050
02:50:07.159 --> 02:50:09.879
laying the groundwork for this kind of
stuff for a long time, and I

2051
02:50:09.879 --> 02:50:13.280
think it's one of the reasons why
Washington is pushing so hard to get everybody

2052
02:50:13.360 --> 02:50:18.159
addicted to this medicare, because that's
going to be one of the most effective

2053
02:50:18.200 --> 02:50:20.040
ways that they can use to control
us and say, well, now you're

2054
02:50:20.079 --> 02:50:24.639
going to have to get the ID
or you're not going to get any medical

2055
02:50:24.680 --> 02:50:26.559
care. We've already seen that done
by Gates in India with the Adhar system.

2056
02:50:26.600 --> 02:50:30.280
We'll give you welfare, we'll give
you medical care, but you're going

2057
02:50:30.319 --> 02:50:33.479
to have to take the digital ID. And so there's all these strings that

2058
02:50:33.520 --> 02:50:37.159
are attached to it, but they
begin by bribing people. It's always the

2059
02:50:37.719 --> 02:50:43.639
way the federal government came the stem
and guess what, David, everybody is

2060
02:50:43.639 --> 02:50:48.879
going to need healthcare at some points, and so the more government can control

2061
02:50:48.479 --> 02:50:52.680
a service like that that almost everybody's
going to need, the more the government

2062
02:50:52.719 --> 02:50:58.239
then control your life. This is
an old playbook and Hugo shaves, you've

2063
02:50:58.600 --> 02:51:03.920
used it, Castro used it.
You know, you promise people something that

2064
02:51:03.959 --> 02:51:07.639
they know they're going to need,
and you tell them that government is going

2065
02:51:07.680 --> 02:51:13.680
to provide it, and they'll give
you their power. And that's what This

2066
02:51:13.799 --> 02:51:16.760
is all about David. It's about
a small group of people trying to control

2067
02:51:18.200 --> 02:51:22.440
the population. And it's the story
of human history. You go back to

2068
02:51:22.479 --> 02:51:26.719
the Pharaohs, it's the story of
human history. The United States has stood

2069
02:51:26.719 --> 02:51:33.159
out among all the countries that ever
existed as a place where government was limited.

2070
02:51:33.280 --> 02:51:37.760
The Constitution was about limiting the scope
and size of government. And along

2071
02:51:37.799 --> 02:51:45.000
the way we really have lost that
idea. We really let that idea slip,

2072
02:51:45.479 --> 02:51:48.520
and I think it's time to bring
it back. That's what our proposal

2073
02:51:48.639 --> 02:51:52.760
is all about with here the people
putting those limits back on government. And

2074
02:51:52.840 --> 02:51:56.799
I think the people, you know, they do want to run their own

2075
02:51:56.840 --> 02:52:01.200
lives. They don't want government telling
them how to live. That was Ronald

2076
02:52:01.280 --> 02:52:05.360
Reagan's flee to us. That was
the key to his success and appeal.

2077
02:52:05.440 --> 02:52:11.479
We did another Ronald Reagan and that's
that's that's my and that's in the book

2078
02:52:11.479 --> 02:52:13.520
too, by the way, so
you'll get a chance to read that.

2079
02:52:13.719 --> 02:52:16.079
Well, you know, when you
look at the Rights, and as you

2080
02:52:16.120 --> 02:52:20.200
correctly pointed it out, it was
about prohibiting government from interfering with our God

2081
02:52:20.239 --> 02:52:22.200
given rights. What the Bill of
Rights was about. It's very clever I

2082
02:52:22.280 --> 02:52:28.760
remember when Obama was running for president
and or shortly after he got elected.

2083
02:52:28.799 --> 02:52:31.319
I can't remember exactly when he said. It was at the very beginning,

2084
02:52:31.920 --> 02:52:35.239
and he said, and he taught
this, and he knew exactly what he

2085
02:52:35.280 --> 02:52:39.440
was doing, but they have they
control the way that you perceive things by

2086
02:52:39.440 --> 02:52:41.959
the terminology, and so they would
say. He said, well, you

2087
02:52:41.959 --> 02:52:43.360
know, I know that this is
set up, and we got prohibitions there

2088
02:52:43.399 --> 02:52:48.399
for government. We call that negative
rights. But you know, a positive

2089
02:52:48.440 --> 02:52:52.799
right is your right to healthcare,
or your right to an education, or

2090
02:52:52.920 --> 02:52:54.239
to housing or to this. And
it's like, oh, well, I

2091
02:52:54.280 --> 02:52:58.280
want the positive stuff. I don't
want the negative stuff. And he completely

2092
02:52:58.319 --> 02:53:01.000
turned it upside down by using those
labels. And it had absolutely nothing to

2093
02:53:01.000 --> 02:53:03.959
do with the Constitution. He knew
that. But he's great at selling stuff,

2094
02:53:05.040 --> 02:53:09.000
doesn't he. I knew. I
knew Obama very well. I'm from

2095
02:53:09.040 --> 02:53:13.559
Illinois, I'm from Chicago, and
I ran for the US Senate and I

2096
02:53:13.680 --> 02:53:18.920
once debated Obama for an hour and
a half just on those ideas education and

2097
02:53:20.360 --> 02:53:24.399
healthcare. And you know, David, you know what his big response to

2098
02:53:24.440 --> 02:53:30.360
me was, we need government to
help people with education and health care.

2099
02:53:31.000 --> 02:53:35.239
We can't let people and these are
his words, fend for themselves. We

2100
02:53:35.280 --> 02:53:41.520
can't let people. People are too
stupid. In his world, people are

2101
02:53:41.559 --> 02:53:46.760
too stupid to choose their own health
care or their own education. Government has

2102
02:53:46.840 --> 02:53:50.680
to do it for them. And
darned if that wasn't his program on becoming

2103
02:53:50.760 --> 02:53:54.879
president of the United States. He
convinced the media that it was a great

2104
02:53:54.920 --> 02:53:58.760
thing that government should control your education. Government, you could go health care.

2105
02:54:00.280 --> 02:54:03.200
You're too stupid to choose it on
your own. My answer was,

2106
02:54:03.639 --> 02:54:09.479
people can choose their healthcare. People
can choose education if they're given the tools

2107
02:54:09.520 --> 02:54:13.959
to do so, and they want
to choose that, and frankly, they

2108
02:54:13.000 --> 02:54:16.520
should be able to because that means
we have competition. And when you have

2109
02:54:16.600 --> 02:54:20.280
competition, you have quality and you
have lower costs. Yeah. Right,

2110
02:54:20.319 --> 02:54:24.200
But Obama didn't want to hear that. I mean, he disagreed with me

2111
02:54:24.319 --> 02:54:28.319
on that, and we debated on
it. I wish I had a tape

2112
02:54:28.319 --> 02:54:31.399
of that debate, by the way, because it was an hour and a

2113
02:54:31.440 --> 02:54:33.000
half and he and I were the
only ones there. And I wish you

2114
02:54:33.000 --> 02:54:35.000
would have beat him. I wish
you would have beat him in the election.

2115
02:54:35.520 --> 02:54:37.440
I'm sure you beat him in the
debate. But I wish you'd beat

2116
02:54:37.479 --> 02:54:39.600
him in the election. It would
have been a very different world, wouldn't

2117
02:54:39.600 --> 02:54:43.200
it if we'd had John Cox that
of Barack Obama. But you know that

2118
02:54:43.319 --> 02:54:48.559
is a very that's the same kind
of argument John that if you go back

2119
02:54:48.559 --> 02:54:50.879
and you look at Civil War history. We talked about Civil War a lot.

2120
02:54:50.000 --> 02:54:52.239
Everybody wants to talk about the Civil
War. Now, well you go

2121
02:54:52.280 --> 02:54:54.920
back and you look at it,
and you've got a lot of people who

2122
02:54:54.920 --> 02:54:58.239
were plantation owners and slave owners,
and they said, well, we realize

2123
02:54:58.280 --> 02:55:01.639
this really isn't a very good system, and we feel bad about the fact

2124
02:55:01.680 --> 02:55:05.959
that we're controlling these people and enslaving
them. But you know it's for their

2125
02:55:05.959 --> 02:55:07.920
own good. If we let them
loose, they just wouldn't be able to

2126
02:55:07.920 --> 02:55:15.280
survive, right. You know,
it's paternalism that Obama is selling. That's

2127
02:55:15.280 --> 02:55:20.239
a slave plantation mentality. Uh,
And it's actually the mentality of the plantation

2128
02:55:20.360 --> 02:55:24.559
owners. Well, I have to
slave them for their own good. And

2129
02:55:26.319 --> 02:55:30.280
Reagan, and that's why Reagan's message
was so wonderful because it was just so

2130
02:55:30.440 --> 02:55:33.639
simple. You know, the eight
most dangerous words in the English languages.

2131
02:55:33.719 --> 02:55:39.399
I'm from the government I'm here to
help you. You know, the stuff

2132
02:55:39.440 --> 02:55:43.000
that Reagan said was so true to
so many people. You've got to get

2133
02:55:43.040 --> 02:55:46.000
government out of the way. Government
can't be all things to all people.

2134
02:55:46.280 --> 02:55:52.399
Government should do our defense because we
don't want people owning nuclear weapons and tanks

2135
02:55:52.399 --> 02:55:56.479
and other things like that. So
government should provide national defense. And that's

2136
02:55:56.479 --> 02:56:00.799
what the Constitution specifically says. But
on all these on all these other things,

2137
02:56:00.879 --> 02:56:07.600
healthcare, education, government shouldn't be
providing those things. Governments should create

2138
02:56:07.639 --> 02:56:11.440
the avenues for private industry to be
able to provide those things. And that's

2139
02:56:11.760 --> 02:56:15.600
what we got to get back to. And yet, as I'm you're aware,

2140
02:56:15.680 --> 02:56:18.639
you know you're talking about education all
theories that we just had Biden's education

2141
02:56:18.760 --> 02:56:22.399
secretary. So you know that's our
mission statement. I'm from the government.

2142
02:56:22.399 --> 02:56:24.600
I'm here to help you. Totally
oblivious to the fact that Reagan used that

2143
02:56:24.799 --> 02:56:28.600
as the fearful ass that everybody doesn't
want to hear. I'm sure you're aware

2144
02:56:28.600 --> 02:56:33.479
of that. It was it was
really funny that he bought Thatt that and

2145
02:56:35.040 --> 02:56:37.000
so a few people called him on
it. It truly is amazing to see

2146
02:56:37.000 --> 02:56:39.840
that. Well, I think you've
got a great plan I'm sure that it's

2147
02:56:39.879 --> 02:56:45.600
a very well I know that it
is a very relevant book. Gavin Newsom,

2148
02:56:45.840 --> 02:56:48.520
whether there's a presidential race or not, has a tremendous impact on everything

2149
02:56:48.520 --> 02:56:52.600
across the country. People need to
understand where he's coming from, a good

2150
02:56:52.639 --> 02:56:58.959
example of an elitist politician that we
don't want to keep promulgating that system.

2151
02:56:58.000 --> 02:57:01.879
And it's great to see that in
your book. You have a plan for

2152
02:57:01.959 --> 02:57:07.520
how we can start from the bottom
up to reform this without having to beg

2153
02:57:07.719 --> 02:57:11.799
Congress to reform themselves, which of
course they will never do. Here thepeople

2154
02:57:11.879 --> 02:57:16.760
dot Org is where people can see
that plan, I guess you know.

2155
02:57:16.920 --> 02:57:20.040
Then find your book on Amazon.
You also sell it here thepeople dot Org.

2156
02:57:20.120 --> 02:57:24.440
Okay, good, so great talking
to you, and I'm so grateful

2157
02:57:24.440 --> 02:57:26.760
that you come up with this plan. We need people to think outside of

2158
02:57:26.799 --> 02:57:30.639
the box that they have put us
into, and we need to look for

2159
02:57:30.680 --> 02:57:33.280
state solutions, and we need to
look for ways that we can I look

2160
02:57:33.280 --> 02:57:39.440
at this as essentially a way of
nullification, and you know, a positive

2161
02:57:39.440 --> 02:57:46.559
way to nullify this calcified system that
has become so self interested and that it

2162
02:57:46.600 --> 02:57:50.239
can't be that it won't respond to
us, and it can't be reformed.

2163
02:57:50.280 --> 02:57:52.479
So I think that's a very important
way to do it is fair and let

2164
02:57:52.479 --> 02:57:54.719
me and let me and let me
make this clear. By the way,

2165
02:57:54.760 --> 02:58:01.360
here the people is not partisan in
any way. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump

2166
02:58:01.399 --> 02:58:07.520
would agree on the same thing in
one sense. Bernie Sanders talks about corporations

2167
02:58:07.520 --> 02:58:11.879
and millionaires and billionaires. Donald Trump
talks about the deep state and the media

2168
02:58:11.920 --> 02:58:16.600
and the fate news. Right.
Well, you know, here the people

2169
02:58:16.840 --> 02:58:20.159
gets rid of both. Yes,
here the people puts the power back in

2170
02:58:20.200 --> 02:58:24.120
the people's hands, gets rid of
the media influence, and gets rid of

2171
02:58:24.159 --> 02:58:28.440
the big corporations. And so I
think people can look at it as a

2172
02:58:28.479 --> 02:58:35.360
bipartisan as a solution that both sides
that all the people can can get around

2173
02:58:35.600 --> 02:58:37.159
and believe it's the right way for
us to go. I agree. And

2174
02:58:37.200 --> 02:58:41.879
even as we try to engage and
debate ourselves on social media and they try

2175
02:58:41.879 --> 02:58:45.799
to censor us, this is a
way that people can get directly involved and

2176
02:58:45.840 --> 02:58:50.120
it is something that is a personal, direct person to person type of thing,

2177
02:58:50.520 --> 02:58:54.360
grassroots moving up. These are all
the things that we need to be

2178
02:58:54.360 --> 02:58:56.159
looking to. These are all elements
of what I think are going to be

2179
02:58:56.239 --> 02:59:00.639
any successful solutions, so thank you
so much for doing that again. Here

2180
02:59:00.719 --> 02:59:05.200
the people dot Org and the book
is Newsom's Nightmare, The Newsom Nightmare,

2181
02:59:05.639 --> 02:59:09.239
and then you'll find that on Amazon. Thank you so much for joining us,

2182
02:59:09.280 --> 02:59:11.120
John Cox, appreciate it. Thank
you, David. Really pleasure to

2183
02:59:11.120 --> 02:59:13.879
be with you. Thank you.
We got just a little bit of time

2184
02:59:13.959 --> 02:59:18.600
left and just enough time for me
to thank Steven Patterson. Thank you again,

2185
02:59:20.319 --> 02:59:24.079
Steven. That is very generous.
I appreciate the tip on rockfin and

2186
02:59:24.399 --> 02:59:28.719
we will. We're about ready to
go out, so I'll just cut this

2187
02:59:28.840 --> 02:59:33.079
short. Tomorrow we're going to talk
a little bit more about the pharmaceutical stuff

2188
02:59:33.120 --> 02:59:37.360
that I did not get to today
because there's some very important updates on that.

2189
02:59:37.479 --> 02:59:41.159
Yes, Fox News is out there
trying to sell measles panic. Again.

2190
02:59:43.520 --> 02:59:48.479
We shut that Doren once and for
all, but that's always the way

2191
02:59:48.479 --> 02:59:50.719
they begin, and they keep going
back to that. That's their bread and

2192
02:59:50.760 --> 02:59:54.040
butter, that's their pharmaceutical sponsors that
they've got there. Thank you for joining

2193
02:59:54.079 --> 03:00:03.879
us. Let me you the David
