WEBVTT 1 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.079 Using free speech to free minds. 2 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.719 You're listening to the David Night Show. 3 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.600 At the clock strikes thirteen, It's Wednesday, the second of October. 4 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.719 He're of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, we're going 5 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.840 to begin with the vice presidential debate. I guess we 6 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:05.640 could say is that bait where they they Tienem and 7 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.159 Tim into the debate. A couple of interesting things, but 8 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.879 it is a show, and we're going to quickly get 9 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.840 to the real issue, and that is, in the aftermath 10 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.359 of Helene, what are we seeing about the government's actions, 11 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.920 not only in action, but actually taking proactive measurements to 12 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.400 stop people from being helped as volunteers are trying to 13 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.000 do the best they can to help the people that 14 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.359 are there. And then what is this all about? And 15 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.120 I'm going to talk about not so much the jew 16 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.879 engineering that a lot of people are suspicious of, but 17 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.680 I'm going to talk about what is being done to 18 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.560 this area of the country, Western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, 19 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:49.879 the lithium mines, the lithium plants, the Tennessee Electric car factory. 20 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.120 Of course, all of this stuff very concerning the implications 21 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:06.280 for this area. We'll be right back and of course 22 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.960 we will also talk about the strikes as well as 23 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.520 the you know, what is happening in Israel and the 24 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.439 war escalation there. Hang on a second, we got Karen 25 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.199 behind the wheel here, thank you. That's what I need 26 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.479 to see, is the screen there. Well, let's talk a 27 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.080 little bit about the the game last night. It's a 28 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.039 pageant and it was interesting and in some ways I 29 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.800 didn't see all of it. I listened to some of 30 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.560 it as I was doing show prep. Pre show, we 31 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.599 had Tim Walls, who I think now is going to 32 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.719 be known forever as Teneman. Tim I think got so 33 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.919 much politer moniker than many of the MAGA media have 34 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.479 been giving him. But he bragged about mass immigration. Well, 35 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.840 this didn't really come up in the debate as far 36 00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.840 as I could tell. It wasn't something that was like 37 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.400 voted by jd Vance. But it really was a soft 38 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.520 underbelly of Ti Waltson. He does have a soft underbelly 39 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:16.800 for sure. Schools with fifty languages, he said, beautiful diversity. Well, 40 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.000 now I went to school like that. You're not going 41 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:25.000 to learn anything except tribalism and resentment. And when you 42 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.960 have that in Minnesota, they are paying billions of dollars 43 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.719 for English as a second language, and all these instructors 44 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.280 to speak the language of all the kids that are 45 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.879 being brought in in mass How do you have a 46 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.719 home in an environment like that, because the homes are 47 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.080 what pays for the schools for the most part. We've 48 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.199 got to break that cycle, that lock. But of course 49 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:50.680 you're not going to hear jd of answered to not 50 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.319 Donald Trump talking about property taxes. You're not going to 51 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.080 hear them talking about public education or public health, both 52 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.560 of which are either going to just destroy our society 53 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.879 and kill us. Public health will kill us. Public schools 54 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.120 will destroy our society economically, morally, intellectually, destroy us, while 55 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.240 they kill us with the public health. We either stop 56 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.800 those Marxist organizations or we're done. But it's not even 57 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.839 on the radar of the presidential Candidate's not on the 58 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.800 radar of any of the GOP so Waltz bragged about 59 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.879 it overwhelming a small Minnesota town in late twenty nineteen. 60 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.720 Bright Bart News reported extensively on Worthington, Minnesota. With fewer 61 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.040 than fourteen thousand residents, The town's taxpayers were forced to 62 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.079 hike taxes to the sum of tens of millions of dollars. Well, 63 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.560 that means thousands of dollars each, right, how many times 64 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.439 its thousands go into millions, Well tens of millions, and 65 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.279 they've got tens of thousands, So that's thousands of dollars reach. 66 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.879 And that's even before you start getting the laws suits 67 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.480 about what these pedophile, grooming, brave new schools are doing 68 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.399 to kids. Those chickens are starting to come home to 69 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.800 roost already. So I reported last week you got a 70 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.759 couple of small towns in Oklahoma where the judgment's one 71 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.439 of them five million dollars, one of them seven and 72 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.519 a half million dollars. It's more than their insurance cover. 73 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.519 So guess what they're going to pass that on to 74 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.600 the property owners who are not owners. They're merely renting 75 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.160 this from the state so they can continue to pay 76 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.600 for the public schools, the government schools. So much of 77 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.040 the mass migration in Worthington, minisaid it was a result 78 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.560 of the federal government's Unaccompanied Alien Children program and the 79 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.360 fact that a JBS pork slaughterhouse attracts newly arrived migrants 80 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.600 to the area. And this is the pattern that we've 81 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.800 seen over and over again, meat processing plants. We have 82 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:04.319 seen yogurt plants, and yeah, I've talked about this Chobani yogurt. 83 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.680 This guy is brought into this country in New York. 84 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.639 You've got Chuck Schumer, Christian Gilbrand. They basically give this 85 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.480 guy a yogurt factory. The Obama's wife, Michelle, goes on 86 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.920 this crusade to get all the schools to eat Greek 87 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.839 yogurt that he makes. And before you know it, he's 88 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.120 got another yogurt factory out in Idaho and he's bringing 89 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.439 in people say the same thing. We're like a little 90 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.040 United Nations, everybody speaking of different languages and it's great. 91 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.600 And look at how compassionate I am. I've got translators 92 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.560 on the floor because we're not going to teach these 93 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.399 people speak English. That they learn't how to speak English. 94 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.120 They could get another job somewhere, but I want to 95 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.839 have them as wage slaves. Yeah, that's right. Slavery is 96 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.000 not dead. It's literal slavery in most Muslim countries now, 97 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.000 but wage slavery is also an issue in these factories. 98 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.600 During a Good Natorial debate in October twenty twenty two, 99 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:05.680 Waltz bragged out the diversity, the diversity and the indebtedness 100 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.680 of this small town. We are a state of immigrants 101 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.199 that value that. We have more refugees per capita than 102 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.480 any other state. And that's not just morally a good thing, 103 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.160 it's our economic and cultural future. What a despicable Marxist 104 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.040 he is. And that's what he is, a Marxist, China 105 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.120 loving Marxist. And the press covering for it, you know, 106 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.199 because he will play the clip for you because he 107 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.199 got caught and yet another lie about his resume. Always 108 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.959 self aggrandizement, always lies, because there's nothing there, nothing there 109 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.519 on his resume. So he makes stuff up. He inflates 110 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.839 his rank, he makes up other things. What he's doing. Well, 111 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.240 when he gets caught out flat footed on this, and 112 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.160 all he can say is, well, I guess I'm just 113 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.560 kind of a knucklehead. Yeah that's we could start with that. 114 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.839 I can think of a few more adjectives. But when 115 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.480 Washington Post is talking about the adjectives, they said, well, 116 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:08.120 he's kind of like a little laborador retriever who just 117 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.959 wants to redo the White House and car heart jackets. 118 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:17.680 Yeah right, okay, Yeah, what nonsense. This beautiful diversity said 119 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.240 Tim Waltz. We see in our Worthington area when I'm there, 120 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.600 you see fifty languages spoken in the school, and you 121 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.079 see every storefront filled with different types of foods, different 122 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.439 types of businesses that are happening. Minnesota needs to continue 123 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.960 to do that. The office of Governor can set the 124 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:41.000 tone on that. Well, what did that cost the people 125 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.360 who live there. It's going to cost him everything, going 126 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.919 to cost him their home. I've said for longest time, 127 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.679 if we've got to have open borders, bring every child 128 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.399 in the world here and pay for their education through 129 00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.399 this unbelievably wasteful system that we have created. From the 130 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.200 school buses to the very tail pipe of the whole system. 131 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:11.159 It is one massive, bloated, wasteful project that doesn't educate kids. 132 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.440 That indoctrinates them, It harms them, It grooms them into 133 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:20.200 a pedophilia, it bullies them. It's a despicable institution that 134 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.240 comes with an unbelievable price tag. And so with more 135 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:29.720 than seventy five thousand English learners, Minnesota taxpayers are paying 136 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:35.240 nearly one point two billion dollars and property taxes just 137 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.120 to fund English as a second language. And that was 138 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.000 in twenty twenty. It's worse than that now. And that's 139 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.679 just for the English as a Second Language program one 140 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:47.759 point two billion dollars. What about all the rest of 141 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.639 the stuff, What about all the training, grooming and all 142 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.360 the rest of the stuff, teaching them how to gyrate? 143 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.919 You know that it's ridiculous that we're paying for public schools. 144 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.120 We've got to shut them down, de fund the communist schools. 145 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.440 And of course it's no surprise that Tim Wallas would 146 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.120 love that because he is a communist. He is a Marxist, 147 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.799 and so he always talked about being in Hong Kong 148 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:19.960 when Tenneman's Square happened. But this week, it's pretty amazing. 149 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.360 The mainstream media got on to him in a big way. 150 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.240 They were all over this story, said he lied, I 151 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:33.480 mean MPR, even MPR, have these people decided that the 152 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.279 Democrats are going to lose, and CBS and all the 153 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.879 rest of them, because you can't escape it. He has. 154 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.639 There was video of him bragging about it, and there 155 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:51.440 was local newspaper clippings showing where he was at the time. 156 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:58.919 And so when he was confronted with us, well, actually 157 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.240 here's what he had to say. He said, I was 158 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.879 just going to teach high school in Fotion in Guangdong 159 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.919 and was in Hong Kong in May of eighty nine, 160 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.879 and as the events were unfolding, several of us went 161 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.440 in and I still remember the train station in Hong Kong. 162 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.840 There was a large number of especially European I think, 163 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.279 very angry that we would still go after what had happened, 164 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.279 But it was my belief at that time that the 165 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:30.840 diplomacy was going to happen on many levels, excusing what 166 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.879 the Chinese Communist Party had done. Remembering that he was 167 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.639 there when he wasn't there. That anecdote has since been 168 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.080 repeated many times by him without any scrutiny. It's been 169 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.399 repeated by The New York Times, by CBS News, by 170 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.200 NPR and others. But then they woke up this last 171 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.200 week and they started to pay attention, and I was 172 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.600 that was the big surprise of the debate for me, 173 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.919 not that you would have these girls and I call 174 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.960 them girls because they're not worthy to be called journalists 175 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.559 or women. These two girls were running the debate as 176 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.480 they started fact checking Jade Vance that nothing annoys me 177 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.559 more than that. Well, actually, Senator, climate change has been 178 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.519 decided to be a true thing by a consensus a scientist, 179 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.440 and it's man made. In all of this resticond just 180 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.080 shut up. Just shut up, you little propagandists. It's just 181 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.759 amazing that they continue on with this stuff. So I 182 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.200 was surprised that they asked him this question. And then, 183 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.960 of course, here is what happened with Tenum and Tim 184 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:34.960 Governor Walls. 185 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.840 You said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly 186 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.360 Tieneman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine, 187 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.000 but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting 188 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.720 that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of 189 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.720 that year. Can you explain that discrepancy? 190 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:54.840 Well, and the folks out there didn't get at the 191 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:55.320 top of this. 192 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:55.720 Look. 193 00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:00.879 I grew up in small, rural Nebraska under the town 194 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.080 that you. 195 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.399 I'm a middle class guy, just like You'll wear a 196 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.639 car heart out of that service. 197 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.159 I joined the National Guard at seventeen. 198 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.720 And on and on. She follows up, and she goes, yeah, 199 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.039 but you didn't answer the question. Yeah, basically, why did 200 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.600 you lie? I was really surprised that they did that. Yeah, 201 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.279 I was just going to teach high school and all this, 202 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.879 and I was just I was a boy from small 203 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:27.559 town America. I'm just one of you guys. Contemporaneous news 204 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:31.320 reports show Waltz turning a National Guard storeroom an Alliance 205 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.000 Nebraska in May of nineteen eighty nine. They indicate that 206 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.600 Walts did not leave the US until August of that year, 207 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.759 at least two months after the student protest ended with 208 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:48.159 the Chinese Communist Marxist massacre. The government that he loves 209 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.600 so much and wants to give to us here in America. 210 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.399 He's been busted both by video and by contemporaneous newspapers. 211 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.759 And so how does the press react to this? Well, 212 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:14.480 you have Rows story, which is a unbelievably prostituted media. 213 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.399 They're like a revolver on the right. Okay, Ross story 214 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:25.279 just has no credibility, just anti Trump media. They will 215 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.200 publish anything but any kind of absurd spin on it, 216 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.879 just like Darren Beatty does it revolver for Trump? The 217 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.559 other direction. Waltz was off by two months about where 218 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.279 he was thirty five years ago? What's the big deal? 219 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.480 Can you remember where he well? You know, yeah, if 220 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.120 it's if we're talking about Tanneman Square, I think I 221 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.000 would remember if I was in China and Tannaman Square 222 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.679 happened or not. I think I would remember that if 223 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.039 I was actually in China when Tanaman Square happened. It 224 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.919 doesn't matter how many years ago it was. I think 225 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.559 I would remember that. So nah, so what? Well, No, 226 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.879 it's just lies and self aggrandizement, which is characteristic of 227 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.159 the guy. But he replies, well, I guess I'm just 228 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:14.480 a knucklehead. A disastrous answer when questioned on inaccurate claims 229 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.480 at the debate. This is coming from media height. This 230 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:22.799 is another anti Trump, full on cheerleaders for the Democrats. 231 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.879 They said, this is a disastrous answer. And look, you 232 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.200 didn't need to watch the full debate. Here's how you 233 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.639 know how the night went. You get up the next 234 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.600 morning and you look at the Drudge Report, which is 235 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.600 full to cheer the Democrats. Nothing. You know, this is 236 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.960 some buried stories in the center column, but nothing up 237 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:42.840 of the headlines. Right. 238 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:44.080 Oh. 239 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.960 You look at Breitbart and it's like bloom, It's all 240 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:47.559 over the place. Look at this. He said this and 241 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.360 this and this, and it's okay, we know pretty much 242 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.679 what happened with us. If you can't hide it's just 243 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.840 the opposite of what happened with a Trump and Laala debate. 244 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.960 You know, there was this gloomy silence and all the 245 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.799 maga media and Drudge was celebrating it with Champagne and 246 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.559 all the rest of his website. I mean, it's pretty 247 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:11.600 obvious what's going on, even media. I'm a knucklehead. You're 248 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.440 a knucklehead. Yeah, we agree with you. You are a knuckle 249 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.879 You are a lying knucklehead. How about that? Because he's 250 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.240 not going to confess to lying. That's the key thing, right, 251 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.360 He doesn't even use the excuse that raw story throughout there. 252 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.799 You know, it's thirty five years ago. I cut it 253 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.200 off by two months, So what three months? Actually, so 254 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:39.000 what what's the big deal? He didn't even say that. 255 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.519 I'm a small town guy from a small town place, 256 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.840 and I'm a National Guard guy that inflated my rank, 257 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.759 and I'm a teacher and that's the stuff. And what 258 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.480 was he teaching people to? So anyway, she hit him again, said, 259 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.200 can you explain that discrepancy? Blah blah blah. Grew up 260 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.360 in a small town of Nebraska, town of four hundred, 261 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.440 my middle class, small town virtues. Yeah, well, you know what, 262 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.640 my middle class, small town virtues were number one, you 263 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.720 tell the truth and especially if you get caught in 264 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.680 a lie, you know, it's great this This guy said, 265 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.640 you know, need a confess your sins because if you 266 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:30.279 try to cover it up, God will uncover it. Did 267 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.759 they not teach him that in his small town church. 268 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:39.480 If you confess your sins, God will cover it. But 269 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.119 if you don't confess your sins, God will uncover it, 270 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.160 especially trupe politics, isn't it. So then we look at 271 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.720 Vance and the girls, and I say the girls because 272 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.400 they were just kind of like me and girls in 273 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:58.119 high school. Because this is what this is. It's like 274 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:04.839 a high school election of pop popularity contest. And they 275 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.079 started this fact checking stuff. They did it a couple 276 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.039 of times as a matter of fact, in this particular 277 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.640 one that he responds to Brennan. Well, just to clarify 278 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.200 for our viewer, for viewers, Springfield, Ohio does not have 279 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.400 a large number of Haitian migrants. Who does have a 280 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:23.519 large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status temporary 281 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.480 protected status. You know that TPS report? Yeah, could you 282 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.599 get that TPS report on my desk? Later today, we 283 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.960 got some Hatians coming in from the you know, I 284 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.880 want the cover sheet. Make sure you got the cover 285 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.119 sheet because we're going to cover those up. We're going 286 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.119 to cover it up for Waltson, for law Lass. So 287 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.759 get that TPS report in please. Well that was a 288 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.480 bit much for him because I already fact checked him 289 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.000 on like I said, man made globmore the consensus of 290 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.839 scientists is that yes, man made, and we're just throwing 291 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.079 the planet that kind of nonsense. That that sent me 292 00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.799 over the edge, and so I was really glad that 293 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.480 he called him out on it and he does that. Look, 294 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.759 Vance is so much better. That's a politician at least 295 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.000 than Trump is. It's unbelievable. And so is Walt. He's 296 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.720 better than La La. The two of them going back 297 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.440 and forth, it was unbelievably cordial. Actually, well, you know, 298 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.960 you made a good point, and I agree with most 299 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.759 of that. But here's where I disagree with what you 300 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.400 had to say. When we heard that over and over 301 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.000 again from both of them, and I think really the 302 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.599 tone of that was started by JD. Vance. That's the 303 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.920 way debates ought to run. Okay, I agree with a 304 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.200 lot of what you had to say there, but here's 305 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:40.279 where we disagree. Talk about it. But anyway, that wasn't 306 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.759 the way the CBS is going to handle it. And 307 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.160 so this is the way that. 308 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.279 Vance replied, And just to clarify for our viewers', Springfield, 309 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.079 Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who 310 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.240 have legal status temporary protected moura. 311 00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.359 But thank you, senator. 312 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.079 We have some much to get to, Margaret. 313 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.359 I think it's important turn out of the economy. 314 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:04.000 Thanks Margaret. 315 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.240 The rules were that you got to be a fact 316 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.519 check and since you're fact checking me, I think it's 317 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.400 important to say what's actually going on. 318 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.480 So there's an application. 319 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.559 Called the CBP one app where you can go on 320 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.920 as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for 321 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.480 parole and be granted legal status at the wave of 322 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.039 a Kamala Harris open border Wand that is not a 323 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.799 person coming in applying for a green cart and waiting. 324 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.160 For ten years. 325 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.839 Thank you, senatoration of a legal immigration Margaret. 326 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:36.240 Bye, Thank you senator for describing the legal process.

We have so much we want 333 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:55.880 to get to. Thank you for explaining the legal process. 334 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.200 Okay, yeah, and thank you for explaining the process to 335 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.720 his timp that people have had phone apps since nineteen ninety. 336 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.920 You might want to get with Trump and work out 337 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.000 this whole thing about phones and apps. Neither Trump nor 338 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.920 Tim Waltz knows anything about phone apps. Trump. Oh yeah, 339 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.559 they're really smart people. They got phones and they got apps. 340 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.559 Not too many people know about phone apps. Well, Trump 341 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.200 doesn't and Waltz doesn't. He thinks this has all been 342 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:27.240 there since nineteen ninety. No, actually not, As Jdvan has 343 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.559 pointed out, they haven't had phone apps since nineteen ninety. 344 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:36.720 But when it comes to the Waltz, he just couldn't 345 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.079 stop sticking his foot in his mouth. 346 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:42.480 Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during 347 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.799 the deadly Tenemen Square protests in the spring. 348 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:46.720 I'd say, this's is the repeat here? We got one 349 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:51.759 I think in there twice. This was actually it was 350 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.440 He said, I've got a lot of friends who were 351 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:58.240 school shooters. Very short clip, about four seconds but anyway, 352 00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.119 we missed that one here. We're still working on things. 353 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.079 Travis is gone, and we're doing our best to try 354 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.000 to get this stuff through here. So he said the 355 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.759 rules were that you guys are not going to fact check, 356 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.799 and he talked them down. And he's done that to 357 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.160 a reporter after they said, wait a minute, you're debating 358 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.480 me on this stuff. You don't give me a chance 359 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.519 to answer. You want to debate me, And he's right 360 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.079 to do that. He's so much better as a politician. Again, 361 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.960 I have a lot of concerns about what he really believes. 362 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.880 I have concerns about his connections to Peter Teal and 363 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.119 the technocracy and all the rest of this stuff. And 364 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.759 I'm not jumping in on one side or the other 365 00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:37.799 with this stuff. I really don't care. I'm just here 366 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.960 to give you what I think was the salient points 367 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.839 about these people. Vince refused to say that Trump lost 368 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.039 in twenty twenty, and this is the one thing that 369 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.119 the anti Trump media has been able to focus on. 370 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.680 So they focused on this. But actually I thought that 371 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.440 his answer was a masterful manipulation, quite frankly, because they 372 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.799 said things like, you know, what would you do if 373 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:06.759 you were vice president and all the rest of the stuff. 374 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:13.119 He said. Look, he said, remember he said that on 375 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:18.400 January the sixth, the protesters ought to protest peacefully. And 376 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.000 on January the twentieth, what happened? He said, Biden became president. 377 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.839 Trump left the White House. There you go, we didn't 378 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:28.079 shut down democracy. He left the White House. You shouldn't 379 00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.799 be upset because Trump didn't even pardon the January the 380 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:35.119 six people, right, He let them twist in the wind 381 00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:40.240 for Biden to persecute, and Biden persecuted them. I mean, 382 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.799 why are they upset about? They got their pound of flesh? 383 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:46.839 You know, Trump and Alex was stopped to steal. Were 384 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.319 the judas goats to lead these people in and then 385 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.119 they walked away, both on January the sixth and all 386 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:55.240 the way through the next two weeks. So Trump didn't 387 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:58.599 do anything to protect those people. He let them hang 388 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.079 from political persecution by Biden. But they're not happy with that, 389 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.799 not happy with that at all. So again, as they 390 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:14.000 point out, and this I said in otherwise debate, that 391 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.720 was marked otherwise by unusual comedy. And they don't mean 392 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:20.680 comedy in terms of humor, but they say comedy com 393 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.920 y friendly, but it was a bit humorous at times. 394 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.079 You can always find some humor and politics. I think. Look, 395 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.359 what President Trump said is that there were problems in 396 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.799 twenty twenties advance. And my own belief is that we 397 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.279 should fight about those issues. We should debate those issues 398 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.119 peacefully in the public square. And that's what I've said, 399 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.319 and that's what Donald Trump has said. And then as 400 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.559 they continued to press him, that's not an answer. I 401 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.960 want you to denounce Trump or support him. Well, he 402 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.599 wasn't going to do that. He's too smart to do it. 403 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.279 He said, you guys attack us for not believing in democracy. 404 00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.720 But he said, the most sacred right under the United 405 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.000 States democracy is a first amendment. Was the first Amendment? Well, 406 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.599 we have a right to peacefully assemble, have a right 407 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.920 to readdress our agreements, and of course everything else that 408 00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:13.160 they're trying to take away from us. Speech on social media, 409 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.079 he said, Laala Harris wants to use the power of 410 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.119 the government and big tech to silence people from speaking 411 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:27.480 their minds. That is the threat to democracy that will 412 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:34.920 long outlive the present political moment. Boom right there. That is, 413 00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.480 the left thinks that they've got him that was a 414 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:43.559 masterful response. Was he was prepared. He's a very good politician, 415 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:48.200 very slick, and I hope he really believes that. I 416 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.440 hope he says that. I hope somebody starts to say that, 417 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:54.599 because we've got not only Hillary and La La and 418 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:59.920 Biden and John Kerry and the Wall Street Journal, Davos, 419 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.079 Bill Gates, everybody is saying got to get rid of 420 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:07.880 free speech, including Trump. Every day he says that some 421 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.839 of his enemies, whether it's Fox News or whether it 422 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.799 is ABC, or whether it is Google, they need to 423 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.319 be shut down. They need to be thrown in jail. 424 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.880 It's about time we got somebody who would talk, even 425 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.480 in a tangential way about the Constitution. And of course 426 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:26.200 that was not happy with what they had to say. 427 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:32.079 Jd Vance showed that he's a quizzling when it comes 428 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.119 to abortion, just can't handle it right. And I think 429 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.720 that he really is not on board with pro life. 430 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.920 He doesn't want to use those words the girls who 431 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.440 are running the debate, so this is about reproductive rights, 432 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.519 and don't let them own the labels. Don't allow them 433 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.799 to set up the labels. Call them out just like 434 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:54.880 you call them out for debating you, because when they 435 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.720 use labels like reproductive rights and say you can't say 436 00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:03.960 pro life you play by those rules, then they're centially 437 00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:09.000 fact checking you. Reproductive rights is a fact check, and 438 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:12.200 it's a lie. It's a lying fact check, just like 439 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.920 the climate change stuff and all the rest of these 440 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.680 things were. He didn't want to tackle that, He didn't 441 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.920 even want to. The easiest thing in the world for 442 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.240 these people who do it'd be run a few commercials 443 00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.880 showing what an abortion is, showing a baby, what a 444 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:32.000 baby is. I know people aren't having a baby, so 445 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.799 they don't know what they're like, right, and I show 446 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.279 them forty ultrasounds of a baby before it's born, all 447 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:40.200 the rest of the stuff. Look, that'd be the easiest 448 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.799 thing in the world. But you don't even have to 449 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:46.319 go there. They're even incapable or unwilling to defend the 450 00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:48.359 Supreme Court when they finally got it right about the 451 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.640 tenth Amendment. That's what the Dobs decision is about. And 452 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.400 it's not just the abortion issue that scares them to death, 453 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.599 because as Clarence Thomas and Lead pointed out when they 454 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:03.200 came up with the doms issue, said, you know, it's 455 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.559 not just determining when life agains. There's a whole slew 456 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.519 of issues that Supreme Court has jumped into that the 457 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:10.960 federal government should not even be involved in. And I've 458 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.920 said that throughout all this time, for many many years, 459 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.119 I said, how in the world do we let the 460 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.440 Supreme Court trample all over the Tenth Amendment When they 461 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.519 came back and said to the State of Texas with 462 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.920 Roe v. Wade, no, you're not going to be able 463 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:32.680 to outlaw abortions at that point in life. What roeby 464 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:38.440 Wade did was it outlawed prohibitions up until a certain 465 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.119 period of time. They don't have the authority to do 466 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.000 that under the Tenth Amendment. Nobody would say that. The 467 00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.279 governor of Texas wouldn't say, well, you've issued your opinion, 468 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.079 let's see you enforce it. That should have been the 469 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:54.440 appropriate response. But for fifty years and for sixty five 470 00:28:54.720 --> 00:29:01.799 million babies, we ignored the Tenth Amendment until Dobbs said that. 471 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.599 But he doesn't want to talk about that. You know, 472 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:05.680 it's like, oh, what do we do and we have 473 00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.160 this diversity. You know, the Republicans like Trump and Vance 474 00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:16.079 try to embrace diversity. It's absolutely ridiculous. Well, I want 475 00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.759 to think, and today Susan Lovett tipped just before the 476 00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.599 show began. Thank you very much. I appreciate that, and 477 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:28.279 that reminds me because usually I see Susan tipping on 478 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.799 Zell and it reminds me that I have not thanked 479 00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.880 the people on Zel. I'll get that list together and 480 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.119 talk about that tomorrow, because I really do appreciate what 481 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.599 people are doing on Zell. Ap rumble Seat says buckle 482 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.839 up longshortman strikes our ports on our ports could delay 483 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.799 food supply and many other cargoes. Were going to talk 484 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:52.440 about that. So coming up, we're going to talk about FEMA. 485 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:54.599 Then we're going to talk about with him. Then we're 486 00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.000 going to go to the strikes. Then we're going to 487 00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:57.920 go to war. That's what I got lined up here, 488 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.680 so I need to go quickly. Blowden says. Biden lied 489 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:05.440 about his college education too, and he still got installed 490 00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:09.119 as potis Ye. He lied about he got kicked out 491 00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:12.680 of a previous run because of his lies and plagiarism 492 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.640 and things like that. That's what they are. They want 493 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.240 people like that. Jim Z seven just a small town 494 00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.319 girl living in a lonely world. Midnight trained at Tienman Square. Yeah, 495 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:28.759 that's right, that's sounds like a song. I know, I 496 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.440 nemicous news. Vance is the most normal of the whole bunch. 497 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:36.880 He was actually presidential last night. If that matters, Yeah, 498 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.640 it doesn't. He's going to invice president he even gets 499 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.559 in there. Of course, the interesting thing is, I wonder 500 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:46.680 how long Trump will actually stay around, or will they, 501 00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:49.119 you know, let him retire and he puts Vance in, 502 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.160 or maybe his vanity would keep him in even if 503 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.960 he's mentally incapacitated as he gets older. I don't know. 504 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.160 Octo Spook reminds me of the debates in college, where 505 00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.000 you drew what you were debating and which side of 506 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.640 the debate just before the debate. All their debates are 507 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.440 just as valid exercises in lying. Yeah, it doesn't matter 508 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.400 what you truly believe, doesn't matter what your principles are. 509 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.920 It's like, okay, here's the issue, pull it out, Okay, 510 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:18.079 you're going to defend that side of that issue. That's it. Okay, 511 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.400 they send it, they give it to them in a 512 00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.119 package deal from the RNC or the DNC. Here's the 513 00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.119 things that you're going to have to defend in order 514 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.480 to get this job, and we'll see how good you do, 515 00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:31.880 and then we'll have an election, and then there's going 516 00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:33.880 to be this group of invisible people that are going 517 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.000 to pick who wins this whole thing. We're going to 518 00:31:37.039 --> 00:32:14.640 take a quick break and we'll be right back in. 519 00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:24.360 Defending the American dream. You're listening to the David Knight Show. 520 00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:28.559 All right, let's talk about what is happening with the government. 521 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.960 Is the government on our side or is it against us? Well, 522 00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.679 we have the entire Tennessee Congressional delegation, loving congressmen and 523 00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:42.360 women urging the Biden, the Joe Biden is Wala heirs, 524 00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:47.800 urging Joe Biden to approve disaster declaration submitted by the 525 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.119 governor of Tennessee. There appears to be no urgency, there 526 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.280 appears to be no concern from Joe Biden doesn't really care. 527 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.679 But one of those in the congressional delegation, Tim Burchett, 528 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:02.639 had this to say, And look, I'm not charing a 529 00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:07.800 politician not supporting anybody, but I got to say that 530 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.880 this was a welcome gesture. He said, stop donating to 531 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:15.360 me and help the victims. 532 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.480 Hey, everybody, Tim Burchett, I know, everybody's seen all the 533 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.199 devastating floods that have ripped through parts of East Tennessee 534 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:27.239 and North Carolina are just horrendous. We're going to suspend 535 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:32.840 our fundraising and let's try to focus on what's really 536 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:34.719 important in our community. 537 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:35.440 It's the people. 538 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:40.119 So please send any of that money, send it to 539 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.159 these groups. I'm sending some to the East Tennessee Foundation. 540 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:48.320 Of course, Samaritan Urs Franklin Graham's organization does great work 541 00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:52.880 all over the country. I just think that's more appropriate 542 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.079 right now. And I know folks can give some those 543 00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.440 small donations are really what count. 544 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:00.440 If you can. 545 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:03.360 If you can't give, maybe he just take some bottled 546 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.719 water to your church, or food or supplies. If you 547 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.199 can't do that, just pray, pray, and ask God to 548 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:12.960 deliver these poor folks from this horrible, horrible tragedy that's 549 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.440 come upon them, and that they find all their loved ones. 550 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.039 God bless them. Thank you so much for seeding me here. 551 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.920 Well, good for him. We need that kind of leadership. 552 00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:28.000 And you know, I don't cheer people when they do 553 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.480 the right thing. That was the right thing, that really 554 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.559 was the right thing. And as he pointed out, you know, 555 00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.519 you can send money to some of these organizations, or 556 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.119 you know, you can just take some water to your 557 00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.079 local church and they'll distribute it. That type of thing, 558 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:43.320 because that's happening. And as I pointed out Whistler when 559 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:47.000 he did in high school, he won a competition when 560 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:50.760 he talked about how that was handled locally. Tornado came through, 561 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.519 did a lot of damage. The police, the Sheriff's department 562 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:55.920 comes out, keeps people away from the downpower lines. But 563 00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:59.960 other than that, it was volunteers, contributing companies, individuals take 564 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.960 making food and water and supplies and all kinds of 565 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:06.440 stuff to church parking, lots of church people handing it 566 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.400 out to people. And that's what's happening here again as well. 567 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.639 Thousands of North Carolina residents look to local churches for 568 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:18.280 supplies and prayers. People are broken, they said. More than 569 00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:22.559 five thousand people sought help at First Baptist Church in Hndersonville. 570 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.760 You know, volunteer support like this in an emergency can 571 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.960 get all this stuff out before the federal government puts 572 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:36.760 its pants on, because you know, they're partying somewhere. A 573 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.719 member of the local church assisting residents with disaster relief 574 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.639 efforts by distributing basic supplies in the wake of Hurricane 575 00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.199 Helene's destruction. So the crisis has left the community broken 576 00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.559 but united. It I was hearing story after story people 577 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.280 are broken. It was incredible when I heard today Senior 578 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:01.199 pastor Justin and Alexander posted on Facebook said about five 579 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:07.159 thousand people in the town of approximately fifteen thousand, about 580 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.360 one third of the people drove through the church's parking 581 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:15.480 lot twenty five miles south of Asheville. And again, this 582 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.239 is the same type of thing that we saw in 583 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:21.920 our small community while FEMA was lording it over with 584 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.360 law enforcement and all the rest of bullying people, bossing 585 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:29.000 people around, not helping anybody at the coast when you 586 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.079 had a major hurricane. When federal government gets involved, that's 587 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.079 the way they respond. And unfortunately, what we're seeing here 588 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.480 is that the churches are helping people. You see some 589 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:42.840 local officials even starting to tell well, I'm in charge here, 590 00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:44.679 get out of here. You can't help anybody. We're going 591 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.360 to wait until the official people do it, and all 592 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.159 this other kind of stuff. But they also talked to 593 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.480 a woman who they said is no stranger to helping 594 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:59.119 people in a crisis. She's actually the executive director of 595 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:03.000 a woman's crisis center there in Nashville, the Ascend Women's 596 00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:07.719 Center in Ashville. Her crisis pregnancy center in West Ashville 597 00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:10.519 made headlines in twenty twenty two when it was among 598 00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:17.840 those it was vandalized by Antifall affiliated group Jane's Revenge. 599 00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:21.519 But she was there among the one hundred volunteers and 600 00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:25.679 staff at the church dispensing food, water, basic hygiene products 601 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.719 to residents throughout the day. On Monday, she said, I 602 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.800 found when I would ask people to pray about stuff, 603 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:38.559 they would tell me some things to pray about about 604 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:42.440 their home, or they're missing loved one or whatever the need, 605 00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.320 she said. But they were all saying, I just don't 606 00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.559 know what to do with us. One young mother told 607 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.119 Brown that she was rattled as her husband was helping 608 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.679 remove the hundreds of downed trees from his roads, and 609 00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:58.239 noted that she wouldn't have been able to feed her 610 00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:02.719 infant if she hadn't the forethought to sanitize twenty five 611 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:06.239 baby bottles before the storm. She had gotten down to 612 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.559 her last bottle of water by the time she got 613 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:13.920 to the church. This is why I like to remind people, 614 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:15.960 especially in a situation like this. You know whether and 615 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:18.480 we're going to talk about what was behind this, you know, 616 00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:21.000 whether it's a natural disaster or whether it's man made, 617 00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.800 whether there's an agenda, whether it's war. This type of 618 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:28.159 thing Civil Defense Manual you can find at Civil Defensemanual 619 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:32.119 dot Com by Jack Lawson. You know, do you think 620 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:36.119 about what kind of preparations need to make. This is 621 00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.480 the kind of thing that can help you to prepare 622 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.719 in a lot of different ways. And so make sure 623 00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.599 that you've thought through some of these things. And Jack 624 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:51.800 has put together a lot of people experts to give advice. 625 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.840 As a matter of fact, you can get free advice 626 00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.159 about how to make sure you continue to get water 627 00:40:56.199 --> 00:41:01.920 when things happen like this and fresh water. That's a 628 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.239 free chapter that he has there at Civil Defense Manual 629 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.920 dot Com giving an idea of just how thorough and 630 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.320 comprehensive the information is. He's got a couple of free 631 00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:14.519 chapters there. But getting back to this lady who was 632 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:18.320 just about out of water for her babies and just 633 00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.239 made it to the church, Brown said, she started crying 634 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.239 when I first started speaking to her. She said, it's 635 00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:26.599 just so overwhelming. She said, after I prayed with her, 636 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:28.639 she just reached her arms up. I didn't know her, 637 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.239 I never met her in my life, and she said, 638 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:36.360 can I hug you? She said, I said absolutely, So 639 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.239 we just hugged through the car window. She just embraced 640 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:43.320 me and wouldn't let me go. She was just sobbing 641 00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:48.920 in her car, she said. Even if their house is spared, 642 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.679 Brown said, many of the people are straining under the 643 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:58.239 trauma of witnessing the shocking scale of devastation in their community. 644 00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.480 It's just all gone, and they're wondering what they're going 645 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.440 to do. And we'll talk about the fact that many 646 00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.440 of us are wondering what's going to be done to them? 647 00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:13.360 Are they going to lose their homes? Was this a 648 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.599 plan to begin with? Many people are saying this is 649 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:19.920 looking a lot like Maui, isn't it. It's looking actually 650 00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:24.639 a lot worse than Mali. Frankly, despite the widespread suffering, 651 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.239 Brown said, she remains hopeful. She said, there is absolutely 652 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:31.039 an opportunity for the gospel amid the darkness. That's why 653 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.239 we're asking people if we could pray with them today 654 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.400 to give them spiritual hope in the midst of this crisis, 655 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:41.280 this devastation. As we were praying with them and giving 656 00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.840 them food and water, all the things they needed. We 657 00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:47.039 were just letting them know that there is hope, there's peace. 658 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:52.519 None of this caught God off guard. Even though we're 659 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.360 all caught off guard with it, He's still going to 660 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.519 provide the needs that everybody needs. So we were trying 661 00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:03.159 to give them that spiritual hope today and she said, 662 00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:07.039 this is going to take years, not weeks to recover 663 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:11.480 from people right now don't even know where to turn 664 00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:15.239 for the basics. She said, it's not that I doubt 665 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.760 God or his sovereignty, just that I'm struggling so much 666 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:23.559 with the loss and the destruction. How do people come 667 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:26.719 back from this? This is one of the age old questions, 668 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:31.119 Why do bad things happen to good people? Well, the 669 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:33.239 Bible says over and over again, from the Old Testament 670 00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.079 to the New Testament, from Isaiah Romans, that there are 671 00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:40.519 no good people. There's none who's good, not what all 672 00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:42.519 of us have turned our own way. All of us 673 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:47.480 have raised our fist in defiance to God one way 674 00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.280 or the other. We've all been involved in cosmic rebellion. 675 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.760 And so the question is why do good things happen 676 00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:59.679 to bad people like us? All the time, good things 677 00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:03.760 are happening to bad people like us. And the gospel 678 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:09.199 is what God did for a rebellious people, sending his 679 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:14.199 son to remove their sins as far as the east 680 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.679 is from the west, to forgive that rebellion, to let 681 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.920 people start again, and to never have that brought up again. 682 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:26.559 So just keep that in mind. You know, that is 683 00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:30.880 the good news that God sent his son to make 684 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.360 peace with us, that really good things have happened for 685 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.960 really bad people. None of us deserve anything that we get. 686 00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:43.400 It is all grace and mercy from God. Hundreds of 687 00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:48.559 thousands are dead and missing, and hundreds of that rather 688 00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:50.880 thousands are missing an apple Achia, and of course you 689 00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:54.679 know it's up to one hundred and fifty or more 690 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.480 people that they've verified or dead. They found bodies and 691 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:01.039 trees and the rest of the stuff. They're still hundreds 692 00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.800 and hundreds of people who are missing and it's unknown 693 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:08.199 what their fate is. They expect it to some One 694 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:10.519 news outlet said they think the body count is going 695 00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:14.599 to go above six hundred. But while all this is happening, 696 00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:22.320 the National Guard is deployed to Israel. Instead, the government 697 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.159 aid is non existent right now. They're not doing anything 698 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.760 for anybody. It's their neighbors who are helping each other. 699 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.480 And believe me, when the when the government comes in, 700 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.239 they're going to be doing things against the people who 701 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:41.599 are there as well. But listen to what happened to 702 00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:45.360 this helicopter pilot. He was seeing all these messages on 703 00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.360 Facebook and other places about people help I need. I'm stranded. 704 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.400 I'm about out of cell phone battery and all this 705 00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:54.360 other kind of stuff, and cell phone coverage is going 706 00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:56.599 in and out. I don't have any food or water. 707 00:45:56.920 --> 00:46:00.719 I need some help. He's got a helicopter, so he 708 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.760 decides that he's going to help he and his son. 709 00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:08.480 And I want you to hear what this priening, little 710 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:12.280 petty fogging bureaucrat dead. 711 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:16.679 This is the original post that I was reading when 712 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:19.320 I decided to go up and help.

Flight tracking shows no flight restrictions in 749 00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:00.199 place Saturday or Sunday morning when Sidam flew through the 750 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:03.400 Lake Loure Gap, but that was all about to change. 751 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:07.199 The sytem spotted in older couple waiting for help, then 752 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.960 landed and what's left of their driveway for the day. 753 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:11.159 I want you to. 754 00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.800 Let me get in.

It was it was kind of unstable, 761 00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.480 so I didn't want to put more weight in the 762 00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:33.800 helicopter to lift back off. So I left my son 763 00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:36.320 with the other victim and I was just gonna take 764 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.559 one person down at the time. And you could hear 765 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.360 me in the video talking through with the victims and 766 00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:43.079 with my son what we're gonna do. 767 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:46.280 Three minutes away, Sytem spotted a group of rescuers just 768 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:49.280 down the river. He landed and found someone in charge. 769 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.840 Told him my background experience law enforcement, firefighting. 770 00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:55.320 Pilot. 771 00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.079 He immediately started helping with coordination. He gave me radio 772 00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:02.239 frequencies to codate with them on, set up a landing 773 00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.960 area for me to come back with the other victim, 774 00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.559 and in the middle of the whole conversation and then 775 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:12.199 blocking the road off, I was greeted by the at 776 00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.800 that time I didn't know but Lake Lure fire chief 777 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:17.400 or assistant chief maybe, and he shut down. 778 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:17.920 The whole operation. 779 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:20.519 So at that point there was I felt like the 780 00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:23.480 Barney fis want any further And again he asked me 781 00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:26.079 to leave, and I said, hey, I have no problem 782 00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:27.679 getting out of your area. If that's what you want 783 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.440 us to do, we'll leave no issue. At that point 784 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.239 I asked him, you know what was the reason I 785 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.280 had to leave them there? And he said again, you're 786 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:38.559 interfering with my operation. I just need you to get 787 00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:39.159 out of the area. 788 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:41.760 I said, sir, I don't know where you are because 789 00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:42.599 I said, so how. 790 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:44.800 My training is and I'm not going to leave personnel 791 00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.199 behind I'm going back to get my co pilot. He said, 792 00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:48.639 if you turn around and go back up the mountain, 793 00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.920 you're going to be arrested. I said, well, sir, I'm 794 00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:53.800 going back to get my copilot. I don't know what 795 00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:56.360 to tell you, and he said, I'm letting you know. 796 00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:58.800 And at that point he waited for two law enforcement 797 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:01.760 officers to come over and told me that again, if 798 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:03.440 I go back up the mountain, I would be arrested. 799 00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.480 He flew the three minute trip back, picked up his son, 800 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.079 and left the woman's husband behind. 801 00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:12.840 Sure he was flooded with emotions and trying to rescue 802 00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:15.480 other people, and I just felt that it was best 803 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:17.920 at the time to leave. So I did follow his instructions, 804 00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:20.840 and I had a conversation with the female victim before 805 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.239 I left, apologized and explained, and she was standing there. 806 00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:27.840 She heard the whole conversation, and they were both very 807 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.360 very surprised, very upset. The husband, as I was leaving 808 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:33.159 off of the side of the mountain at that point, 809 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.440 separated from his wife, he was upset. 810 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:37.880 I can only. 811 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:41.840 Imagine Senniman is nearly fourteen hundred flight hours, turned his 812 00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:45.480 chopper around and headed back to South Carolina, passing people 813 00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:47.199 waving for help along the way. 814 00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.320 As I was actually leaving to go back to. 815 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:49.880 Get my son. 816 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.159 The original chief or CapMan that I spoke to his 817 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:57.760 crew and himself, they came back over and said, hey, man, 818 00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.599 we can't tell you to go get the victim. We 819 00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.400 can't even ask you to go get the victim. But 820 00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:04.559 we can't tell you if you come back with the victim, 821 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.559 we'll have you a designated landing spot and they won't. 822 00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:09.639 We'll make sure they don't come over here. 823 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:12.079 So there was no flight restriction when you went. 824 00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:15.400 In, No no flight restriction when I went in. It 825 00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:18.639 went in place twenty or thirty minutes after the confrontation 826 00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:20.079 with mister. 827 00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.760 You feel like that was coincidental or do you think 828 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.400 that that was because of what happened. 829 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:27.760 I don't think it can be coincidental when there has 830 00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.800 not been one in place the day before doing rescue 831 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.280 operations the night of the morning of that took place 832 00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.800 after our altercation, I think there would have never been 833 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:39.800 a TFR put in place have. 834 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:41.000 We not had that conversation. 835 00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:43.280 If I had to do it over again, I would 836 00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:45.280 have stopped and I would have rescued as many people 837 00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:47.119 until they decided they were. 838 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:47.599 Going to arrest me. 839 00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:50.400 Well, for now, we've chosen not to name that lake 840 00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.960 Lure fire official because communications in and out of that 841 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:59.039 town are still difficult. We want society story, and if 842 00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:02.920 and when he sponds to our messages, we will include that. 843 00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:04.639 The good news is I saw a video of a 844 00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:07.760 Coast Guard helicopter landing in lake Lord this morning, so 845 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:12.280 hopefully some of those mountain rescues are underway today from 846 00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:13.000 Paigeland jail. 847 00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:15.599 Yeah, well, only a couple of days after this all happened, 848 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:17.599 and now the National Guard maybe they scrape some up 849 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:22.159 that that han't sent off to Israel or Ukraine or something. Right, Yeah, 850 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.519 we come last with everything, if we come at all, 851 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:28.760 don't we. In the minds of Washington, they are set 852 00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:32.440 dead set against us. In every car the National Guard 853 00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:35.639 in these states has has been massively deployed Israel instead 854 00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:41.119 of serving their communities where the devastation now rains. You'll 855 00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:44.360 also hear rumors about the death of cash and how 856 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.679 they are greatly exaggerated because cash is king in times 857 00:52:47.719 --> 00:52:53.000 like this. Absolutely is one person put up. This is 858 00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:55.800 the update I just got from my Lineman friend in 859 00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.119 Ashville went up old Fort Road where it connects to 860 00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:03.800 Number nine area is gone. One hundred foot ravine where 861 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:08.119 houses used to sit. Kids walking around naked, asking where 862 00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:13.599 their parents are. People begging all uppercase, begging for water, 863 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:17.760 black hawk helicopters from Femur flying around. I don't want 864 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.199 to talk about the smell of the dead bodies. I'm 865 00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.719 in disbelief. I they get their days later. Are they 866 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:27.119 helping anybody? Who knows? But we got these little you know, 867 00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:31.280 fire chief or assistant fire chief doing his Barney Fife impersonation. 868 00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:33.760 I'm telling you got to get out of here right now. 869 00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:37.920 I'm going to throw you in jail. Amazing this guy 870 00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:43.440 former law enforcement officer, firefighter, helicopter piled fourteen hundred hours. No, 871 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:47.639 you can't help anybody because you see to too many 872 00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:54.440 people in government, the power of their office and their uniform. 873 00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:59.280 It's far more important to them than what happens to 874 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:03.519 the people. And these are the very types of people 875 00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:06.639 who will do whatever the higher up tells him, and 876 00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:10.360 they don't care. They'll execute you if they're told to. 877 00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:16.000 These are the Milgrim experiment, the Nurmberg people. These are 878 00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:20.119 the people who authority is everything to them, their authority, 879 00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:24.320 the authority above them. They care nothing for the fellow man, 880 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:27.280 nothing at all. Can you imagine he has to go 881 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:32.280 back and he tells that that elderly man, Sorry, I 882 00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:34.440 can't take you back. I just have to leave you here, 883 00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.280 separated from your wife. And he says he thought about 884 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.719 it now, he said, I would not follow those orders again. Well, 885 00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:42.360 I've thought about this kind of stuff, and I don't 886 00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.320 follow orders like that. We all need to think about 887 00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:48.840 this kind of stuff before it happens, so we don't 888 00:54:48.840 --> 00:54:51.559 have any regrets. He's got regrets now. They didn't go 889 00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:53.760 back and pick people up. Well, he should have picked 890 00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:56.400 up people till he was arrested, and then when they 891 00:54:56.519 --> 00:55:01.719 arrested him, sue the pants off of them. FEMA partners 892 00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:06.719 with the MFL. Meanwhile, they're busy working. They're focusing on 893 00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:10.960 how they're going to lock us up when they're next 894 00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:17.079 declared pandemic comes. FEMA is concentrating on concentration camps. That's right, 895 00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:18.679 that's what they're doing. In the midst of all this. 896 00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.480 Wine Press News reports the first stadium to sign on 897 00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:25.320 was MetLife Stadium in New York. The New York Giants 898 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:28.440 New York Jets. Several more were announced days later, including 899 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:34.239 Lumenfield for the Seattle Seahawks, stadiums where the Pittsburgh Steelers 900 00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.760 play in, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the San Diego 901 00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:40.519 Chargers and Rams, all under current review to receive a 902 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:45.079 mission ready venue designation. Now they'll put you in these places, 903 00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:48.119 and then they'll starve you for water, for food, the 904 00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:51.559 rest of this stuff FEMA concentration camps, and they'll start 905 00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:57.000 out in the football stadiums. Now you know why they 906 00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.320 build these football stadiums and spend billions of dollars of 907 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:03.480 your tax pay And I mean billions. When I first 908 00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:07.840 started reporting on this stuff, they've been spending hundreds of millions. 909 00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:10.960 They were about to do the first billion dollar stadium. 910 00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:17.679 Now they're multi billion dollar stadium, FEMA Administrator Dan Chriswell 911 00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:20.280 said in a statement. During large scale emergencies like COVID 912 00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:24.599 nineteen pandemic, hurricanes, or tornadoes, we've seen how large music, sports, 913 00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:29.039 and entertainment venues can serve as a safe space for communities. 914 00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.800 This new strategy we're launching with the NFL is ground breaking. 915 00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.920 While we are just starting with the NFL, all venues 916 00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:40.280 across sports organizations and leagues can become assets to their communities. 917 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:43.199 I encourage them to join this collaboration effort as we 918 00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:49.760 grapple with the impacts of climate crisis. Yeah right, but 919 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:53.079 they're not going to even keep order. As a matter 920 00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:55.880 of fact, this is what one lady put up about 921 00:56:55.920 --> 00:56:57.559 what is happening with the looting. 922 00:56:57.760 --> 00:56:59.519 I want to share with y'all some things you may 923 00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.800 not know about what's happening in the North Carolina Mountains 924 00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:04.280 in the aftermath of Helene. 925 00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:06.000 Here's number one. 926 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:08.840 If you have friends or family that are headed into 927 00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:12.239 the mountains or who live there, the looting has picked 928 00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:15.360 up major steam. I was advised yesterday by a county 929 00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.320 sheriff to make sure that anybody out and about is 930 00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:21.800 carrying and in his words, carrying with the safety off. 931 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:25.039 There are very aggressive people out there. And I'm just 932 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.000 gonna go ahead and say this. It's not because they're 933 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:31.639 necessarily awful. They're desperate. Desperate people do desperate things, y'all. 934 00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:35.440 And why are they desperate Because there's no water in 935 00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:38.760 some of these communities. We have neighbors in North Carolina 936 00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:41.719 with no water, and all I can say is this 937 00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:45.440 the government ain't coming to save you, not now, not ever, 938 00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.159 because they don't care about you, the people anymore. 939 00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:50.880 It is the citizen. They don't have to step it 940 00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:51.920 up now. 941 00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:54.880 I gotta tell y'all, I was floored yesterday by how 942 00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:57.719 my community, which is a little over an hour away 943 00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:01.000 from the affected areas, showed up at donation sites with 944 00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:05.239 water and diapers and formula and some liquid IV. I mean, 945 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:09.159 y'all brought all kinds of things, bleached vinegar. You are 946 00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:11.559 ready to help, and we're gonna take more donations today. 947 00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:13.719 And we're so grateful for everything. 948 00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:16.920 Because I'm gonna get it into the hands of actual volunteers. 949 00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:18.840 And I was asking people like, why are you bringing 950 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:19.199 it to me? 951 00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:21.239 Some of y'all don't even know me, and they said, well, 952 00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.400 we don't trust the relief organizations anymore, y'all. We have 953 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:28.719 lost our organizations to grifters, We have lost our organizations 954 00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:31.000 to liars, and so we have to rely on each 955 00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:33.119 other because that's how this country was built. This country 956 00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:35.599 was built patriot by patriot. And I can tell you 957 00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:38.920 this as a realtor. I know my realtors in the mountains, 958 00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:40.719 and I have talked to them and they know the 959 00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:44.880 neighbors too, So I am getting your donations into hands 960 00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.360 that are going to get it into hands, and everybody 961 00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:50.239 that's sent me dollars, I got teams of shoppers out 962 00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:52.400 and I got receipts to prove it, because we are 963 00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:55.239 not grifters. We are neighbors. And the patriots that are 964 00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:57.440 in the mountains, if you see this, if your family 965 00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.960 sees this, hear me. Now, you are not forgotten by 966 00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.559 the rest of North Carolina. And if you are not 967 00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:06.960 in North Carolina, then there are ways that you can give. 968 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:08.599 But can I just remind y'all of something. 969 00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:14.079 You cannot eat money, you cannot drink money. So for 970 00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:16.639 those of y'all that thought money was your god, and 971 00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:20.320 by the way, that includes our freaking elected officials as 972 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.920 not your god. Told my girlfriend this morning while we 973 00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:24.960 were talking about this during our run, I said, tell 974 00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:27.760 your children. She's got grown children. This is why you 975 00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:30.159 keep a stash of water on hand. This is why 976 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:30.639 you keep. 977 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:31.679 A stash of food on hand. 978 00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:33.960 But for those of y'all that are not an affected areas, 979 00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:36.440 if you can take your donated items and send it 980 00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:38.519 to the mountains, then send it with a friend. 981 00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:40.639 Make sure you're sending truckloads. 982 00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.000 So that we don't overload the roads because our first 983 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:45.280 responders are overwhelmed by the way. Thank you, Governor Desanas 984 00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:47.960 for doing more for North Carolina. The North Carolina's governor 985 00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:50.639 has I'm very grateful for your National Guard because we 986 00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:52.960 have to help each other, y'all. And I will tell 987 00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:56.320 you something. If you will share this with somebody who 988 00:59:56.360 --> 00:59:59.599 doesn't know what's happening in North Carolina, they need to know. 989 01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:05.320 They need to know that there are entire towns gone. 990 01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:11.519 Chimney Rock is gone, a beautiful town, Swan and Noah gone, 991 01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:17.320 Montreat gone, other towns damaged beyond repair. That means our 992 01:00:17.360 --> 01:00:21.480 geography has changed, our culture is at risk, but most importantly, 993 01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.920 our people, our generational people have lost their generational homes. 994 01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:29.559 This ain't about your granite countertops anymore. Listen, y'all, listen. 995 01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:33.840 Tell somebody how they can help. I am but one resource. 996 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.440 There are people I know all over North and South 997 01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:38.559 Carolina that have been gathering up goods and trucks that 998 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:40.960 somebody as far away as Massachusetts putting a truck together. 999 01:00:41.639 --> 01:00:43.639 Let me know I can connect you to where to 1000 01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:46.320 take things. The Baptist are doing a great job out 1001 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:48.440 of Boon Samaritan's purses on the ground. 1002 01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:51.440 I trust those two organizations. I wish I had. 1003 01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:54.199 Trust for more because I don't trust this government, but 1004 01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:55.000 I trust. 1005 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:58.119 The people of North Carolina. Y'all. The biggest thing you 1006 01:00:58.159 --> 01:00:59.519 can do pray. 1007 01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:03.639 Pray right now, Pray fervently that people will turn their 1008 01:01:03.679 --> 01:01:06.159 hearts back to God and pray for a head to 1009 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:08.920 protection around all those who have seen things they should. 1010 01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:09.639 Never have to see. 1011 01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:11.880 I'll tell you one more story for I hang up 1012 01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:14.719 this video. I had a lady come to my donation 1013 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:18.039 site yesterday and her grandson is ten years old living 1014 01:01:18.039 --> 01:01:20.000 in the mountains with his mother who works into the 1015 01:01:20.039 --> 01:01:22.679 a hospital. They're getting the kid out today to get 1016 01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:24.719 him home because they can finally get him out, and 1017 01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:26.920 they're worried because he has seen things he should never 1018 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.519 have to see. When you have children that are seeing 1019 01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:33.320 bodies on the ground and town's gone. 1020 01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:34.800 We're going to have to answer for that one day. Y'all. 1021 01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.760 Please pray, please do something, And for those of y'all 1022 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:40.159 that have already done something, I can't thank you enough. 1023 01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:46.280 Well that's the truth, she f too straight. That's what 1024 01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:50.400 I've been saying for the longest time, when things get tough, 1025 01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:52.800 the government is not going to be there, and you 1026 01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:54.880 better hope that they don't show up, because when they 1027 01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:58.159 show up, they're going to make everything much worse, much worse. 1028 01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:02.440 Organize with your neighbors, Prepare for yourself. Prepare with your neighbors. 1029 01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:05.159 That's why I said this book Civil defens Manual dot 1030 01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:08.039 Com great resource to get you to start to think 1031 01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:11.760 about this kind of stuff. So you prepare before it happened. 1032 01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:17.360 But you need to also prepare because you know that 1033 01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:21.159 there are grifters, government and other looters out there ready 1034 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:26.679 to do harm to your family. Truly is amazing. Bluden says, 1035 01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:30.880 I wonder how much of Trump asking for Helen donations 1036 01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.360 will go the victims. Well, he set up a one 1037 01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:38.159 of these GoFundMe things or something like that. I guess 1038 01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:41.760 he does that instead of sending his money in It's 1039 01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:44.639 too important to him to keep his money. Talking about 1040 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.519 granite countertops, how about gilded everything in his mar A 1041 01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:55.440 Lago place. That stuff will rot his flesh for eternity. 1042 01:02:55.960 --> 01:02:58.559 Don't frag me, bro. No one asked the VPS about 1043 01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:01.280 sending billions to Israel and why people in the US 1044 01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:04.199 suffer from all manner of challenge, while the people in 1045 01:03:04.199 --> 01:03:07.360 the US suffer from all manner of challenges. That's right, 1046 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:11.760 that's right. Yeah, we don't matter to the border, doesn't matter, 1047 01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:14.480 doesn't matter to Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, 1048 01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:16.360 and the House send money to Ukraine. We don't want 1049 01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:20.119 to do anything to protect Americans. Nothing and sellers. The 1050 01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:22.280 storm wiped out so much. My guess is only the 1051 01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:25.239 elites will be able to come in and rebuild, taking 1052 01:03:25.280 --> 01:03:28.159 our good land and beauty once again. Well, if you 1053 01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:32.559 talked about the landscape even not just the town's wiped out, 1054 01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:35.719 landscape altered, and we're going to talk about that coming up, 1055 01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:40.800 the lithium thing that is happening here as part of 1056 01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:44.000 this green grift. Boy, they have focused on this area 1057 01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:46.440 and it makes me sick to look at it. You know, 1058 01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:48.440 I love going to the Smoky Mountains, but one of 1059 01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:50.239 the things that always made me sad it would go 1060 01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:52.960 in and look at Kate's Cove and places where people 1061 01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:54.440 had lived. You know, they still got some of the 1062 01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:56.800 original church buildings, and they got some of the other 1063 01:03:56.840 --> 01:03:59.960 buildings that people had worked and it reminds me of 1064 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:01.800 what they did about a century ago when they came 1065 01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:04.039 in and just drove those people out of their land, 1066 01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:08.320 took it for a national park. And if I stop 1067 01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:10.280 and think about it really ruins the experience for me, 1068 01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:12.800 because that's what our government is about. And the government 1069 01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:15.800 that was able to do that, capable of doing it, 1070 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:18.599 willing to do that a century ago, is more than 1071 01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:23.880 capable and willing to do that today today. And you 1072 01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:25.559 look at what is happening there in these areas that 1073 01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:29.440 have been wiped out, and they've got so much invested 1074 01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:31.960 in these lithium plants, and they've been planning this for years. 1075 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:34.199 That's why when you look at this stuff. I didn't 1076 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:40.559 talk about the you know, the radar showing the different 1077 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:45.360 unusual things that were happening, the beams that you can 1078 01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:48.039 see there. As some people put that up. I didn't 1079 01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:50.360 talk about it's one of these things like the nanotech 1080 01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:53.960 in the vaccines. You know, there's so many things to 1081 01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.400 talk about. My concern rather than saying this is nanotech 1082 01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:00.480 and it's graphene, is this and that self assembling. I 1083 01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:03.360 believe that's true, but you know, I wanted to stop 1084 01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:07.360 people from taking it. I wanted to focus on do 1085 01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:10.719 you realize that this is doing something to your body 1086 01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:12.960 to replicate something and you don't know what it is 1087 01:05:13.000 --> 01:05:14.800 and they're not telling you what it is, And do 1088 01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:16.840 you realize this has never been done and it's never 1089 01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:19.679 been tested. Please don't do that. That was my focus 1090 01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:23.880 on it. And we're going to talk about what's going 1091 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:28.360 on with the lithium stuff, regardless of whether or not 1092 01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:30.639 this was a geo engineered storm, whether or not the 1093 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:32.719 storm was directed to this area, and all the rest 1094 01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:35.599 of stuff. We're going to talk about the direction that 1095 01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:38.519 they're going to try to take everybody now in terms 1096 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:42.119 of destroying this area. It's a beautiful area for their 1097 01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:45.840 greed for they're green grifts. When we come back, but 1098 01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:49.000 I've got a couple more comments before we go. Jim 1099 01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:51.280 Z seven Biden calls for the public to pay for 1100 01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:54.480 the damages from Helene. Too bad. He doesn't take the 1101 01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:59.320 same approach to Ukraine. That's right, Yeah, yeah, Ukraine. We're 1102 01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:00.880 not going to leave them on their own. Israel, We're 1103 01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:02.199 not going to leave them on their own. But you know, 1104 01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.360 you people in North Carolina and Tennessee, you're on your own. 1105 01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:10.320 Ap rumble seed Fema is actually a privately held entity 1106 01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:14.679 allegedly rothschild run. Well, I've not seen that before. I'll 1107 01:06:14.679 --> 01:06:17.679 look into that. M sellers they have to use mules 1108 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:19.920 to reach something. I mentioned that yesterday. A guy coming 1109 01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:21.559 in and say he's got a chain on, he's got mules. 1110 01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:22.760 He goes, I'm going to get in there one way 1111 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:25.519 or the other. I said, that's the attitude, that attitude, 1112 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:29.079 the attitude that this lady had. We're going to help 1113 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:32.320 our neighbors. We can't trust our institutions anymore. Folks, Better 1114 01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:37.239 get that through. Better understand the federal government can't be trusted. 1115 01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:40.800 The federal government doesn't care. These people don't care in 1116 01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:43.039 the midst of an election. They don't even want to 1117 01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:45.920 pretend that they care. They're not going to do anything 1118 01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:50.119 to help you. You better stop focusing on Trump and 1119 01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:53.880 Biden and our LA law, and you better start focusing 1120 01:06:54.039 --> 01:06:56.679 on how you're going to prepare for what they're going 1121 01:06:56.719 --> 01:07:00.000 to do to you. And it's largely the same regardless, 1122 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.440 so which one of these puppets is selected by the globalists, 1123 01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:07.400 there's just going to be a different emphasis. Like I 1124 01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:10.320 said before, you know, in twenty twenty, I said the 1125 01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:12.519 difference between Trump and Biden is a war with Russia 1126 01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:15.440 or war with China, which one will put us under 1127 01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:17.119 that war first, But of course I can both put 1128 01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:22.400 us into war with both of them. A Syrian girl, 1129 01:07:22.440 --> 01:07:24.719 does anyone know of any honest groups who are working 1130 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:26.760 to help these people? I'd like to donate, but I 1131 01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:28.599 don't want to give to any of the grifter groups. 1132 01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:30.840 I'm sure there are a lot of them around. Well, 1133 01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:37.159 you know, they mentioned Franklin Graham's Samaritan Purse. I actually 1134 01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:41.320 trust the Salvation Army more. But those are the two 1135 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:43.639 that I've seen in terms of groups. But other than that, 1136 01:07:43.960 --> 01:07:47.280 I don't know. It really is sad that we've reached 1137 01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:53.800 the point where institutions, even charitable institutions, even nominally Christian 1138 01:07:54.559 --> 01:08:00.000 charitable institutions, can't be trusted and have to be screwed 1139 01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:04.719 nice like that. Twelve June seventeen seventy six, they're talking 1140 01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:06.920 months and months just to rebuild roads in some places 1141 01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:09.599 in the hills. That's right, because I mean the the 1142 01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:12.400 places where the roads were completely gone. It isn't like 1143 01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:14.519 the road was washed up. You see some of the 1144 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:17.319 places where the road is torn up and everything you 1145 01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.039 go in there, But there's no ground left where the 1146 01:08:21.119 --> 01:08:24.960 road was before, and then says, I hear snippets of 1147 01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:26.880 Fox News throughout the day, and you'd think a disaster 1148 01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.279 like this when corner continuous coverage, But no, all I 1149 01:08:29.319 --> 01:08:33.800 hear is Israel and Iran all day long. Uh huh yeah, 1150 01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:36.880 and you know Trump and Biden and all the rest 1151 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:41.920 of that stuff. So you know something is off. Searing 1152 01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:44.359 Grory plies and said, I think it shows that the 1153 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:46.960 criminal government has no intention of helping these desperate American 1154 01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:49.199 citizens and the media is covering up for them. That's right, 1155 01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:54.359 that's right. Do you trust Fox? Do you trust Tucker? Seriously? 1156 01:08:54.399 --> 01:08:59.359 You trust Tucker. There's a long article about you. Whatever 1157 01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:01.720 happened to Truck? You know, I was written by some 1158 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:06.159 left wing group and said it's just to be so good. 1159 01:09:06.159 --> 01:09:07.840 He would really come after all the people who tell 1160 01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:09.399 the truth about nine to eleven and all the rest 1161 01:09:09.399 --> 01:09:11.600 of the stuff. He would just rip them up one 1162 01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:13.600 side and down the other. Now he comes out and 1163 01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:15.640 he says, well, you know I couldn't talk about that 1164 01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:18.600 when before you just can't talk about nine to eleven. 1165 01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:21.600 And I have some questions about nine eleven. He's got 1166 01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:24.640 no answers. He won't still won't take a firm commitment. 1167 01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:28.239 He's just grifting you, folks. He's no different from Alex. 1168 01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:30.079 As a matter of fact, he's trying to make himself 1169 01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:35.000 a little bit calmer version of Alex. And it's despicable 1170 01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:37.760 to see this. It's just like looking at Megan Kelly 1171 01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:42.479 or Chris Cuomo. How they're reinventing themselves. They're they're, you know, 1172 01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:44.920 looking for an audience. He say, what can I tell 1173 01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.239 him that I got to gradually move this way? You know, well, 1174 01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:50.319 Tucker can move faster than Chris Cuoma. That's the only 1175 01:09:50.319 --> 01:09:56.239 difference between these people. So, John Doe, North Carolina has 1176 01:09:56.319 --> 01:10:00.640 tons of military bases. Helicopters fly constantly practice, but it's 1177 01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:04.119 very quiet here. Now, must be that they're all over 1178 01:10:04.119 --> 01:10:07.239 in Israel assisting the genocide of Gaza. That's right. Yeah, 1179 01:10:07.319 --> 01:10:10.159 a lot of military bases in North Carolina. They can't 1180 01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:12.520 seem to make the trip over to help anybody, though, 1181 01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:16.359 can they. I don't know. I don't know what's the 1182 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.000 problem here, Jason Barker. Government wants a monopoly on aid 1183 01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:22.800 so they can have a monopoly on control. That's right. 1184 01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:28.880 Government is one it's not Uncle Sam, it's Barney Fife. 1185 01:10:29.319 --> 01:10:33.439 That's what government is yelling and screaming at everybody over 1186 01:10:33.479 --> 01:10:38.640 the most trivial instances getting in the way AUDI modern 1187 01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:44.319 retro radio. FEMA camps equal roach motels, that's right, and 1188 01:10:44.359 --> 01:10:47.000 the concentration camps are what they're concentrating on. He also 1189 01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:50.520 says I've heard that home depots, walmarts, etc. Are also 1190 01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:54.520 designed for FEMA concentration camps. Yes, I've heard that and 1191 01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:56.680 seen evidence of that myself. We're going to take a 1192 01:10:56.760 --> 01:10:59.399 quick break and I'm going to play you something here 1193 01:10:59.439 --> 01:11:52.760 from We'll Serve for you. We'll be right back. If 1194 01:11:52.800 --> 01:11:57.960 you are listening to the David Night Show, welcome back. 1195 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:00.760 Let's talk a little bit about the lithium respect of this. 1196 01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:04.560 And this is very disturbing. Regardless of whether or not 1197 01:12:05.239 --> 01:12:10.039 you believe that this was a geoengineered storm, whether it 1198 01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:14.439 was intensified, whether it was directed. Regardless of whether you 1199 01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:18.520 believe that or not, this lithium story is very disturbing. 1200 01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:20.680 And I had somebody contact me, and I think it 1201 01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:24.359 was on Monday when I began talking about this, saying, well, 1202 01:12:24.399 --> 01:12:28.840 you realize that they've got a massive processing lithium processing plant. 1203 01:12:29.039 --> 01:12:33.119 I'm going to be going over near Athens, Tennessee, and 1204 01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:35.279 so I looked, I've got some information about that. It's 1205 01:12:35.319 --> 01:12:41.479 actually Piedmont Lithium is constructing a lithium processing plant and 1206 01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:48.640 Etowa in McMahon County, Tennessee. The facility will produce lithium hydroxide, 1207 01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:54.239 a key component in electric vehicle batteries. The plant is 1208 01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:58.479 expected to start production in twenty twenty five, and we'll 1209 01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:02.439 have an annual capacity of approximately thirty thousand tons of 1210 01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:07.000 lithium hydroxide. Now, this was done, and they've been talking 1211 01:13:07.000 --> 01:13:09.239 about this for a couple of years. Actually, I had 1212 01:13:09.279 --> 01:13:11.600 not noticed this. One of the reasons they call it 1213 01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:15.840 Piedmont Lithium is because the company I think that owns it, 1214 01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:20.359 I think is over in Piedmont of North Carolina. But 1215 01:13:20.479 --> 01:13:25.640 I want to talk about the massive amount of lithium 1216 01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:28.039 that is going to be needed, and when we look 1217 01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:30.479 at lithium mining, I just want to remind you, as 1218 01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:37.479 this person posted on Twitter, Brian's requires about two million 1219 01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:42.800 liters of water to produce one ton of lithium. The 1220 01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:50.279 common environmental side effects are water loss, ground destabilization, biodiversity loss, 1221 01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:57.159 increased salinity of rivers, contaminated soil, and toxic waste. And 1222 01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:00.279 none of this includes the copper, the steel, the plat stick, 1223 01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:06.000 the manufacturing, every step of the battery process requires smelting 1224 01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:11.439 and millions of gallons of fossil fuels, including coal. So 1225 01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:15.279 how green is this all? Well it's not. And as 1226 01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:18.920 you look at that picture, you know this massive industrial 1227 01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:23.800 wasteland that's there, all the white lithium that is there, 1228 01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:26.960 and then that vast area behind it is where they 1229 01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:31.880 are processing things. But let's crank through some of the numbers. Okay, 1230 01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:34.119 I went through the numbers. So they're going to produce 1231 01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:40.279 thirty eight thousand tons of lithium hydroxide per year. Well, 1232 01:14:41.720 --> 01:14:46.920 they need two million leaders per ton leaders about a quart, 1233 01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:49.720 So let's just rough this out and say about a 1234 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.560 half a million gallons for every ton that they produce. 1235 01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:58.720 But they're going to be producing thirty thousand tons, so 1236 01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:04.600 we're talking about is fifteen billion gallons of water a year, 1237 01:15:05.239 --> 01:15:11.960 fifteen billion with a bee thirty thousand times five hundred thousand, 1238 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:22.039 fifteen billion a year. So it's truly amazing to see this. 1239 01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:26.279 And of course, this lithium mine that is over there 1240 01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:29.920 that just happens to be where all of this damage occurs. 1241 01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:34.520 Is the largest known lithium mining of facility anywhere in 1242 01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:37.680 the US and the largest in the world. And unlike 1243 01:15:37.720 --> 01:15:42.920 these other lithium mining facilities that are located in arid, 1244 01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:47.279 dry places like Chile, this is in an area where 1245 01:15:47.319 --> 01:15:49.079 there's a lot of water. And I'm not talking about 1246 01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:50.880 just because there was a hurricane area. There's a lot 1247 01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:55.199 of rainfall in this area, and so this process that 1248 01:15:55.359 --> 01:16:00.279 is so greedy for water. They have something here they 1249 01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:02.159 don't have other places. Like I said, most of the 1250 01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:05.239 time that lithium places where they're mining this stuff are dry, 1251 01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:08.880 arid places. But now they have a ton of water, 1252 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.319 and they're going to need quite a few tons of water, 1253 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:16.159 fifteen billion gallons of it, and that's going to be 1254 01:16:16.279 --> 01:16:19.279 polluted water when they get rid of it. And then 1255 01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:25.119 there's something else. There is a quartz mine in this area. 1256 01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:31.000 The modern economy rests on a single road in North Carolina. 1257 01:16:31.720 --> 01:16:35.399 This is an article that came out from Zero Hedge 1258 01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:39.960 and they said, now the hurricane has collapsed those roads 1259 01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:42.159 to get to it, and what is meant by that? Well, 1260 01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:48.039 in March, A Wharton professor who studies AI and startups 1261 01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:53.319 said on x quote, the modern economy rests on a 1262 01:16:53.399 --> 01:16:58.319 single road in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The road runs 1263 01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:03.760 to the two mines that are the sole supplier of 1264 01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:06.479 the kind of quartz that's required to make the crucibles 1265 01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:11.520 that's required to refine the silicon wafers. There's no other 1266 01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:18.000 place anywhere, there are no alternative sources known. So without 1267 01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:25.399 this quartz, the AI makers are high and dry. And 1268 01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:33.039 so he says, fast forward to this past weekend across 1269 01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:38.600 western North Carolina area, where major disaster continues to unfold 1270 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:44.479 after a tropical system of dumped torrential rainfall there unleashing 1271 01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:48.680 devastating flubs that pulverize entire Hounds towns. As of Monday morning, 1272 01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:54.560 his worst fears could be realized as Google traffic data 1273 01:17:55.079 --> 01:17:59.359 shows road closures around the mining facilities and across the 1274 01:17:59.479 --> 01:18:03.880 entire region. So what happens with all of this? What 1275 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:06.680 do we do with all of this? Do we have? 1276 01:18:09.039 --> 01:18:13.560 You know, is it going to affect AI? Well, this 1277 01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:19.760 is the bigger motive than the geoengineering stuff, and it's 1278 01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:22.279 even a bigger motive I think than the lithium. This 1279 01:18:22.439 --> 01:18:23.880 is the only place in the world they can get 1280 01:18:23.920 --> 01:18:27.239 the courts as necessary for their manufacturing process to build 1281 01:18:27.319 --> 01:18:31.239 the AI chips. And of course the entire stock market 1282 01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:34.600 is built on Nvidia and a couple of other companies 1283 01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:40.880 and the opium surrounding the AI industry. And I'll just 1284 01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:44.960 have to say this about the geoengineering stuff. Never underestimate 1285 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:54.720 these people's technology, and never overestimate their morality. These people 1286 01:18:55.119 --> 01:19:00.760 are morally technologically capable of pretty much anythingretty much anything. 1287 01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:05.359 They have pretty much no restrictions on what they can 1288 01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:09.520 do technologically, their technology, the amounts of money that they have, 1289 01:19:09.800 --> 01:19:11.960 their alliances with the Pentagon and other things, and of 1290 01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.439 course the Pentagon is involved in this as well. They 1291 01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:17.640 can pretty much do anything that they want, and they 1292 01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:22.600 don't have any curbs whatsoever or qualms about what they 1293 01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:25.720 do to people. They don't care if they put out 1294 01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:29.720 a kill shot and kill hundreds of millions of people worldwide, 1295 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:32.600 They'll just lie to your face about it. And you'll 1296 01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:34.840 have candidates like Trump and Biden and Lalla who will 1297 01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:38.159 lie to your face about it, and JD. Vance and 1298 01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:42.039 Waltz will ignore all of that. They're capable of anything 1299 01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:46.680 regardless though of the geoengineering stuff, which I regard as 1300 01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:50.800 likely but not that easily proven to the population. To 1301 01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:55.960 the general population, I know you probably share that same concern. 1302 01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:59.880 And because you've seen the things that they do the 1303 01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:01.920 general population, you're not going to be able to get 1304 01:20:01.960 --> 01:20:05.600 this out to them. But just consider these five things. 1305 01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:09.800 Number One, this large lithium deposit that's there. They'd planned 1306 01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:12.760 on bringing this thing online. The fact that they've got 1307 01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:14.600 lots and lots of water, not just now because of 1308 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:16.319 the fat, but lots and lots of water in the area, 1309 01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:18.960 which they don't have any of these other lithium places. 1310 01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:22.800 Then you have the lithium processing plant, which is a 1311 01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:25.640 post open about the same time as this mine. I'm 1312 01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:28.920 sure there's no connection at all. They probably didn't. It's 1313 01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:32.039 just a coincidence that they're reopening this mine that they 1314 01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:33.720 shut quite some time. As a matter of fact, I 1315 01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:36.119 saw on social media people's that just stop it. This 1316 01:20:36.279 --> 01:20:39.880 mine has been shut down. It was toxic, it was poisoned. 1317 01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:42.159 They shut this thing down. It's an old mine. It's 1318 01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:46.159 not no. They've been working on restoring this mine. One 1319 01:20:46.159 --> 01:20:47.960 of the reasons why it hasn't opened up yet is 1320 01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:52.640 because they've got literally billions of gallons of polluted water 1321 01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:55.640 that they have to get out of the mine pit 1322 01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:01.159 and that we were just talking about. And it's going 1323 01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:03.960 to take them eighteen months to pump all that stuff out. 1324 01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:07.079 That's how much water they've got there. And where's it 1325 01:21:07.119 --> 01:21:08.760 going to go? Where are they pumping it to? So 1326 01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:10.840 you got the large lithium deposity, You've got lots of 1327 01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:15.119 natural water in this area, you have the lithium processing 1328 01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:19.279 plants being built not too far away. You have the 1329 01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:21.760 only mine in the world for this kind of quartz 1330 01:21:21.800 --> 01:21:24.399 that they need for semiconductor stuff. And then of course 1331 01:21:26.319 --> 01:21:31.760 Governor Lee jumping in with this ford Ev plant in 1332 01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:35.520 Tennessee as well. Yeah, using taxpayer money to do this, 1333 01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:38.399 and all this stuff is targeted around twenty twenty five. 1334 01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:41.600 I don't know, kind of looks like a plan to me. 1335 01:21:42.239 --> 01:21:45.439 It looks like they were planning on doing this all along. 1336 01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:50.640 And when you look at here's the picture here, North 1337 01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:54.880 Carolina's quartz boom. The Sebelco mine was built in the 1338 01:21:54.920 --> 01:21:59.199 nineteen seventies. Spruce Pine is home to two quartz mines, 1339 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:03.600 enough quarts to supply the world's AI chip demand, but 1340 01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:09.479 that under sells it. It's the only place known on 1341 01:22:09.640 --> 01:22:13.640 Earth that has this kind of quartz. It is absolutely essential. 1342 01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:20.479 And then when you look at Spruce County, let's see, 1343 01:22:20.479 --> 01:22:23.960 I've got that here. Yeah, there we are. The modern 1344 01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:26.239 economy rests on a single road in North Carolina where 1345 01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:31.159 Helene collapsed. Most bridges to Spruce Pine, North Carolina. A 1346 01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:33.239 single road runs to two mines that are the sole 1347 01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:39.560 supplier of the quartz required for the so Kalski crucibles 1348 01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:43.840 that are needed to refine silicon wafers. There are no 1349 01:22:44.039 --> 01:22:49.039 alternative sources known globally. As of Monday morning, chip producer's 1350 01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:53.640 worst fears have been realized, as Google traffic data shows 1351 01:22:53.720 --> 01:22:59.279 road closures around both Sebelco mining facilities. Every crystalline silicon, 1352 01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:04.680 photo voltaic module and semiconductor chip made in the world 1353 01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:10.239 today relies on this mining district in North Carolina. It 1354 01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:12.279 is interesting, you know, I remember a few years ago 1355 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.520 there were massive floods in Thailand and at the time 1356 01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:18.800 I needed to get a hard drive, and I there 1357 01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:21.680 were shortages. The prices were sky highness and what is 1358 01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:25.720 going on with this this hard drive? And so I 1359 01:23:25.760 --> 01:23:30.319 looked into it and there had been massive flooding in Thailand, 1360 01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:32.720 and what had happened was and of course this is 1361 01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:35.039 not the mine is a different thing. I mean, the 1362 01:23:35.079 --> 01:23:37.880 lines are there because that's where God put them, you know. 1363 01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:44.159 But there was in Thailand this massive community where they 1364 01:23:44.199 --> 01:23:46.119 made all the hard drives, you know, whether you're talking 1365 01:23:46.199 --> 01:23:51.640 about a Western digital or cegate A. They say, you know, 1366 01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:53.920 all of them were being made in the same little area. 1367 01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:56.119 And I guess, you know, they kind of like the 1368 01:23:56.119 --> 01:23:58.239 Silicon Valley. You got people go in, They've got a 1369 01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:00.720 certain expertise in there. Somebody wants to go on competition, 1370 01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:03.079 so they open up a factory in the same general 1371 01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:06.479 vicinity so they can get the engineers to migrate over 1372 01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:09.319 there and help them to do what they did for 1373 01:24:09.479 --> 01:24:11.279 the people they want to compete with. So you wind 1374 01:24:11.359 --> 01:24:14.880 up with this concentration of a particular industry. So natural 1375 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:18.800 disaster of floods basically created a supply chain issue for 1376 01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:22.199 hard drive for a while, and the prices of hard 1377 01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:25.720 drives like doubled, and then after you know, maybe six 1378 01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:29.560 or nine months or whatever, they fell again. But yeah, 1379 01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:34.800 this is all concentrated there around Spruce, North Carolina. So 1380 01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:37.680 one person says, lithium mining requires a lot of water. 1381 01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:41.239 It's exact. One ton of lithium requires about five hundred 1382 01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:45.680 thousand liters of water. It can result in the poisoning 1383 01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:51.479 of reservoirs related health problems. That's a different amount of 1384 01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:54.119 water than other sources that I saw. They were coming 1385 01:24:54.159 --> 01:24:56.920 back with two million. I think they got it confused. 1386 01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:01.560 It's five hundred thousand gallons, it's two million leaders. Lithium 1387 01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:04.960 is mined in two ways. As a matter of fact, 1388 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:10.880 take a look at this, and we have mind in 1389 01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:16.079 two ways using brine in solid ore. In solid ore, 1390 01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:19.600 it requires all the same mining and processes as any mineral. Again, 1391 01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:27.039 sulfuric acid, diesel, toxic tailings ponds, etc. Tailing ponds can 1392 01:25:27.079 --> 01:25:32.319 cause groundwater contamination with metals including intimody and arsenic, as 1393 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:35.319 this one person says. In May of twenty sixteen, dead 1394 01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:38.960 fish were found in the waters of the Lique River 1395 01:25:39.680 --> 01:25:46.079 where a toxic chemical leaked from the Guangzho Rhongda lithium mine. 1396 01:25:46.720 --> 01:25:51.640 Cow and yak carcasses were also found floating downstream, dead 1397 01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:54.600 from drinking the contaminated water. It was the third incident 1398 01:25:54.640 --> 01:25:57.720 in seven years. Due to the sharp increase in mining activity, 1399 01:25:57.720 --> 01:26:01.520 including operations run by China's BYD, one of the world's 1400 01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:05.600 biggest suppliers of lithium ion batteries. After the second incident 1401 01:26:05.600 --> 01:26:08.000 in twenty and thirteen, officials closed the MIND, but fish 1402 01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:11.720 started dying again when it reopened in April twenty sixteen. 1403 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:14.079 Just a coincidence, I'm sure had nothing to do with 1404 01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:17.840 the MIND being there. Lithium price is doubled between twenty 1405 01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:21.920 sixteen and eighteen do the exponentially increasing demand, and this 1406 01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:25.600 is demand from the government, not from consumers. The government 1407 01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.960 demands that you get this stuff. The lithium ion battery 1408 01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:31.720 industry is expected to grow from one hundred gigawatt hours 1409 01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:35.319 of manual production in twenty seventeen to almost eight hundred 1410 01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:39.640 gigawatt hours in twenty twenty seven. Part of that phenomenal 1411 01:26:39.680 --> 01:26:42.359 demand increased dates back to twenty fifteen, where the Chinese 1412 01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:45.560 government announced a huge push toward electric vehicles. And so 1413 01:26:45.760 --> 01:26:47.920 when we look at all of that, we understand why 1414 01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:54.000 the Department of Defense is involved in these mines, why 1415 01:26:54.039 --> 01:26:57.960 they're taking an interest in this, and that's a big 1416 01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:04.560 part of the problem. So this is a picture of 1417 01:27:04.600 --> 01:27:10.199 the lithium processing YEP, that's the wrong thing there. Okay, 1418 01:27:10.239 --> 01:27:14.079 somehow we got the wrong clip in there. Okay, there's 1419 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:19.880 lithium processing. How green is your electric car? Right? So 1420 01:27:20.079 --> 01:27:24.399 again going back to this particular facility, a look at this. 1421 01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:27.760 This mine where is extracted, consumes twenty one million liters 1422 01:27:27.800 --> 01:27:31.159 of water per day, two point two million liters of 1423 01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:33.920 waters needed to produce one ton of lithium. Again, that's 1424 01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:37.800 that's the under said, two to two point two million 1425 01:27:37.880 --> 01:27:41.720 liters per ton. Now this thing that you just saw 1426 01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:47.039 there ten tons per day, Well, that's three thousand, six 1427 01:27:47.079 --> 01:27:49.960 hundred and fifty tons a year. Right. What is the 1428 01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:55.760 one in North Carolina going to produce? Well, that facility 1429 01:27:55.840 --> 01:28:00.199 that they're setting up to process lithium hydroxide, I'm assuming 1430 01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:02.119 that says they put it in close proximity to this 1431 01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.359 new lithium mine that they're opening up. That lithium hydroxide 1432 01:28:05.359 --> 01:28:08.680 facility is going to be taking its input from the 1433 01:28:08.720 --> 01:28:12.319 output of that lithium mine. So i'd assume that that 1434 01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:16.079 lithium mine is going to be producing about thirty thousand 1435 01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.840 tons per year, not three thousand, six hundred and fifty 1436 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:26.000 times ten times the output of that thing that you 1437 01:28:26.119 --> 01:28:31.319 saw there in Chile and again that operates in the 1438 01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:34.479 salt flats of Chile. Most of these things are in 1439 01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:38.039 dry aired places and they need lots of money, lots 1440 01:28:38.119 --> 01:28:41.439 of water. So the money, smart money, is going to 1441 01:28:41.520 --> 01:28:44.800 put it there. Well again, they've been talking about the 1442 01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:48.560 fact that electric vehicle boom could bring lithium mines back 1443 01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:52.760 to North Carolina for quite some time, and you know 1444 01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:55.520 that's what they say there. Not all the locals are 1445 01:28:55.520 --> 01:28:57.800 happy about it. As a matter of fact, all of 1446 01:28:57.800 --> 01:29:01.079 them are very unhappy about it, except for a few 1447 01:29:01.079 --> 01:29:05.319 politicians that they have paid off. And so this is 1448 01:29:05.359 --> 01:29:08.439 an article talking about the opposition to it. Residents do 1449 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:14.560 not want this green quote unquote pollution. But of course 1450 01:29:15.079 --> 01:29:18.720 the government and the mega corporations will do anything for 1451 01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:21.840 their mcguffin. They don't care. There's money to be made. 1452 01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:25.199 They'll kill you with their vaccines, they'll kill you with 1453 01:29:25.239 --> 01:29:29.199 their filthy minds. They'll take everything from you. They don't care. 1454 01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:32.279 And then David Ike says, well, I got an email 1455 01:29:32.319 --> 01:29:34.960 from somebody in Nashville, North Carolina. They have been offering me, 1456 01:29:35.159 --> 01:29:40.600 he said, to buy my property for cash. Constantly, only 1457 01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:42.800 one way in and one way out, and nobody is 1458 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:46.279 allowed to move trucks with aid and supplies are getting 1459 01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:51.079 their tires slashed so they can't reach their destination. It's 1460 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:54.479 getting very real now, Hi, We've an't got some Barney 1461 01:29:54.479 --> 01:29:57.039 five's saying Nope, can't get in there and help these people. 1462 01:29:58.039 --> 01:30:00.600 But who cares. They don't care. It's all about their 1463 01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:03.560 little presidential show, and it's about their wars in Ukraine, 1464 01:30:03.640 --> 01:30:07.159 their wars in Israel. That's what it's really about. This 1465 01:30:07.479 --> 01:30:10.399 lithium mine that they're reopening again. Like I said, I 1466 01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:12.560 saw comments saying, well that mine's been shut down a 1467 01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:15.319 long time ago. It was toxic, it was poisonous and everything. Well, 1468 01:30:15.359 --> 01:30:18.279 this is the reality. Going back to twenty twenty three 1469 01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:22.319 this article. Work to begin in early twenty twenty four 1470 01:30:22.960 --> 01:30:26.920 to reopen King's Mountain lithium mine. North Carolina's revival is 1471 01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:29.359 a major source of lithium, will take another step forward 1472 01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:33.880 early next year. Yay Albemar Corporation expects to obtain permits 1473 01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:36.800 and begin draining water in the next few months from 1474 01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:40.199 the one hundred and sixty eight foot deep lake at 1475 01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:43.800 the former mine off of I eighty five in King's Mountain. 1476 01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:46.119 The water is going to be pumped out at a 1477 01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:49.359 rate of approximately twenty five hundred gallons per minute. So 1478 01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:51.439 if you do the math on that, it comes out 1479 01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:53.920 to seventeen point nine months. So let's say about eighteen 1480 01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:56.039 months is what we're looking for for the dewatering of 1481 01:30:56.079 --> 01:30:59.079 the pit. Once the pit is dewatered, will be ready 1482 01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:01.479 for the construction of the mine. So I did some 1483 01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:04.439 of the math on this. I said, okay, so if 1484 01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:09.319 it's coming out at about twenty five hundred gallons per 1485 01:31:09.359 --> 01:31:13.279 minute and it's going to take them eighteen months to 1486 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:15.520 do this, well, that turns out to be seven hundred 1487 01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:20.079 and seventy seven thousand minutes, and in each of those 1488 01:31:20.079 --> 01:31:22.239 minutes are going to be pumping out twenty five hundred gallons. 1489 01:31:22.239 --> 01:31:26.359 So we're talking about one point nine billion gallons of 1490 01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:29.560 toxic water. And where are they pumping it? Where are 1491 01:31:29.560 --> 01:31:35.479 they pumping it? The project still needs a state mining permit, 1492 01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:38.119 but Albamar has said that it could open as late 1493 01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:40.479 as twenty twenty six. Because it's a done deal. We 1494 01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:42.920 don't care. They're going to move everything aside. They're going 1495 01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:44.479 to do it at worse Wee, just like they will 1496 01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:48.520 approve the personal nuclear reactors for Altman and the rest 1497 01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:54.279 of these technocrats. They'll just wave aside all this stuff 1498 01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:57.359 like Trump did for the pharmaceutical company. Sure you want 1499 01:31:57.399 --> 01:31:59.800 to you want to destroy the area with a lithium 1500 01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:03.079 and that's no problem. You want to put in nuclear 1501 01:32:03.119 --> 01:32:06.880 reactors too, We won't look too hard. Okay, just let 1502 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:10.920 you do that, and we'll help you with the poison vaccines. 1503 01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:13.640 We'll pay you to do it, we'll deliver your product, 1504 01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:19.079 and then the president himself, President Trump will brag for 1505 01:32:19.359 --> 01:32:22.239 five years going on now, he's been bragging about how 1506 01:32:22.239 --> 01:32:27.000 he saved the world when he killed the world. We 1507 01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:29.520 want to have that visibility in our permit before we 1508 01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:33.560 make a final investment decision, they said. But they've already started. 1509 01:32:33.720 --> 01:32:37.520 They know that it's a done deal. Charlotte based Albemarle 1510 01:32:37.960 --> 01:32:40.560 wants to reopen the Mind to supply lithium for electric 1511 01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:44.239 vehicle batteries. You say, there's another company that's called Piedmont Lithium, 1512 01:32:44.960 --> 01:32:47.960 probably coming from the same area there in North Carolina. 1513 01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.319 It's getting help from a ninety million dollar grant from 1514 01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:56.159 the US Department of Defense that was announced September of 1515 01:32:56.239 --> 01:33:00.399 last year. The King's Mountain Mind operated under previous owners 1516 01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:02.880 for fifty years before closing in nineteen eighty eight when 1517 01:33:02.960 --> 01:33:08.720 cheaper lithium from foreign sources made it uncompetitive. But see, 1518 01:33:08.720 --> 01:33:11.279 since we're going to be going to war with China, 1519 01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:15.960 the Department of Defense wants to have domestic resources for 1520 01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:19.119 this type of thing. And so there's a couple of 1521 01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:23.000 people that are put up very informative videos I think, 1522 01:33:23.039 --> 01:33:27.520 talking about this and talking about what was behind this. 1523 01:33:27.520 --> 01:33:30.840 This is Eve who was talking about the lithium mines. 1524 01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:31.640 I can't say what I. 1525 01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:34.079 Find suspicious as shit that one of the areas affected 1526 01:33:34.079 --> 01:33:37.359 by Hurricane Helene is the world's largest lithium deposit, and 1527 01:33:37.399 --> 01:33:40.199 the DoD just entered into an agreement with this company 1528 01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:44.279 right here to mine lithium for electric cars starting in 1529 01:33:44.319 --> 01:33:48.520 twenty twenty five. Now that area is completely devastated. This 1530 01:33:48.640 --> 01:33:51.600 is a ninety million dollar agreement between the DoD and 1531 01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:54.720 this company right here to get King's Mountain, North Carolina, 1532 01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:57.319 a lithium mine up and running by twenty thirty. If 1533 01:33:57.319 --> 01:34:01.159 that area has been inundated is at a disaster zone, 1534 01:34:01.239 --> 01:34:03.600 then the government can come in and do imminent domain 1535 01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:05.880 and they can pay you what it was worth five 1536 01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:08.159 years ago rather than what it's worth right now, Imagine 1537 01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:10.560 that your home has turned into a watery lot and 1538 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:12.520 the government comes to you and says, hey, i'll pay 1539 01:34:12.600 --> 01:34:14.960 you what you paid for it. You're gonna take it, 1540 01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:17.439 and you're gonna go right. What do you think is 1541 01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:19.840 gonna happen right here now that they want this lithium 1542 01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:22.840 mine up and running by twenty twenty five, twenty thirty 1543 01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:25.439 at the latest. Back in nineteen forty seven, we had 1544 01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.239 the Florida Georgia Hurricane or Hurricane nine, and it was 1545 01:34:28.279 --> 01:34:31.399 the first hurricane to be targeted for weather modification. What 1546 01:34:31.560 --> 01:34:35.199 happened was General Electrics, the US Navy, the Army, the 1547 01:34:35.279 --> 01:34:35.880 Air Force. 1548 01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:38.479 They poured dry ice into. 1549 01:34:38.279 --> 01:34:41.159 This hurricane using airplanes to see. 1550 01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:42.600 What would happen. Would they slow it down? 1551 01:34:42.680 --> 01:34:44.439 Well, what happened was it slowed down a little bit, 1552 01:34:44.439 --> 01:34:45.920 but it turned west really sharp. 1553 01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:47.319 Let me show you this is the path that. 1554 01:34:47.279 --> 01:34:50.119 The hurricane took in nineteen forty seven. Does it look 1555 01:34:50.199 --> 01:34:51.600 similar to you? 1556 01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:52.880 Probably not. It's a coincidence. 1557 01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:55.399 Right, moving on, I'm sure this is just another coincidence. 1558 01:34:55.439 --> 01:34:57.119 But do you know who owns the most. 1559 01:34:56.880 --> 01:34:59.840 Shares in that lithium mine, black Rock. 1560 01:34:59.720 --> 01:35:00.039 And Van. 1561 01:35:02.920 --> 01:35:08.079 Yeah, that's right. And then this is from Joe anybody, 1562 01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:11.840 as he talks about what is going on there. Let's 1563 01:35:11.840 --> 01:35:13.079 see here it is right here. 1564 01:35:13.079 --> 01:35:16.000 This flooding in North Carolina does not sit well with me. 1565 01:35:16.319 --> 01:35:19.039 I think something's going on. So I decided to do 1566 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:21.600 some digging. So the first thing I find out is 1567 01:35:21.680 --> 01:35:26.239 North Carolina has the richest deposits of lithium in the 1568 01:35:26.399 --> 01:35:30.520 entire world. Yeah, lithium for like cars, batteries, all that. 1569 01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:34.199 Then I find out they have the world's highest purity 1570 01:35:34.359 --> 01:35:37.880 Courts deposits, and that Courts just so happens to be 1571 01:35:38.039 --> 01:35:42.359 the world's supply for AI chips, microchips. 1572 01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:43.000 And all kinds of stuff. 1573 01:35:43.439 --> 01:35:46.920 We're talking of five hundred and thirty billion dollar industry. 1574 01:35:47.279 --> 01:35:49.319 So this is where more than that thing, much more 1575 01:35:49.319 --> 01:35:49.479 than that. 1576 01:35:49.640 --> 01:35:52.720 Any by the name of Piedmont Lithium is awaiting a 1577 01:35:52.800 --> 01:35:56.279 state mining permit for a site in northern Gaston County, 1578 01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:58.199 and Gaston County is completely. 1579 01:35:57.880 --> 01:35:58.760 Flooded right now. 1580 01:35:59.159 --> 01:36:01.800 The project was a waiting zoning approval because they were 1581 01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:06.159 getting backlash from the residents and also city officials. And 1582 01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:09.199 this lithia, mind they want would be the third largest 1583 01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:11.560 producer of lithium in the world, and they made a 1584 01:36:11.600 --> 01:36:14.880 deal with Tesla already. Now remember the quarts. So in 1585 01:36:14.960 --> 01:36:18.640 Spruce Pine, North Carolina, right next to Ashland, they are 1586 01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:22.359 wanting to expand their minds even larger, and the residents 1587 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:26.920 aren't having it either. Enter the floods people. These are 1588 01:36:27.119 --> 01:36:32.399 mountain towns. It rarely, if not ever, floods in the mountains. 1589 01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:33.239 I would know. 1590 01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:36.000 I grew up in the mountains in Colorado, which means 1591 01:36:36.119 --> 01:36:38.920 none of these people have flood insurance. I mean, the 1592 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:43.800 media is seeing biblical devastation in North Carolina, AKA, like 1593 01:36:43.960 --> 01:36:46.760 the worst thing that could happen, and you're not coming 1594 01:36:46.800 --> 01:36:50.079 back from it. Right between the lions people, everything happens 1595 01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:50.880 for a reason. 1596 01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:54.800 Yep, yep. And now you know when you look at this, 1597 01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:57.039 of course, anybody that's not up on the mountain side, 1598 01:36:57.039 --> 01:36:59.199 and you got a risk even being on the mountain side, 1599 01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:02.439 that you can have the mountain side slide down. But 1600 01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:05.880 when you get over thirty inches of rain, and because 1601 01:37:05.960 --> 01:37:09.720 the topography, it really does concentrate it down into the 1602 01:37:09.720 --> 01:37:11.680 lowest areas and that's why you're seeing that kind of 1603 01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:14.840 devastations there. But look, whether or not there was jew engineering, 1604 01:37:14.960 --> 01:37:17.600 whether or not they intensified the storm, whether or not 1605 01:37:17.800 --> 01:37:22.960 they directed the storm. All this stuff about the lithium mines, 1606 01:37:23.079 --> 01:37:31.560 the quartz mines, the lithium processing plants, the Ford Electric 1607 01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:35.920 vehicle manufacturers, this all stinks to the high heavens. And 1608 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:38.399 they're about to come in here and really rip this 1609 01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:42.079 place up one side and down the other. They're going 1610 01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:45.840 to destroy this beautiful area. And you know these people 1611 01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:48.039 have now lost their homes, so you know what are 1612 01:37:48.079 --> 01:37:51.199 they going to do. It's all about the lithium stuff, 1613 01:37:51.239 --> 01:37:55.880 isn't it. And it is all about their climate change. 1614 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:59.119 Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? Well, m Seller says 1615 01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.760 Samaritans is local from that area, so they might be 1616 01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:05.439 okay to donate to in this instance. Well, I think 1617 01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:07.560 they're out of like Charlotte or something like that, but 1618 01:38:08.920 --> 01:38:12.000 they might be okay. I'm not going to endorse anybody. 1619 01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:16.279 I have more trust for Salvation Army. And the reason 1620 01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:20.159 I have less trust with Sumaritan's Purse is because of 1621 01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:22.640 what Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse did in New York 1622 01:38:22.680 --> 01:38:28.000 as part of the sham pandemic the germ game. Remember 1623 01:38:28.079 --> 01:38:30.960 they went up there and they set up a place 1624 01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:33.880 to help people because they heard what was going to 1625 01:38:33.920 --> 01:38:35.600 be the worst in the world is going to be 1626 01:38:35.640 --> 01:38:37.880 here in New York. And so they went up there 1627 01:38:37.880 --> 01:38:39.920 and knew all these stories about we don't want Somerdan 1628 01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:42.760 Purson around here, their pro life, get them out of here, 1629 01:38:42.760 --> 01:38:44.359 we don't like it. So there was that kind of stuff, 1630 01:38:44.399 --> 01:38:49.439 but they left. They never treated anybody right. Just like 1631 01:38:49.479 --> 01:38:55.479 that twenty five hundred bed Petempkin Army Hospital that Donald 1632 01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:58.720 Trump put up, or the hospital ship that he sent 1633 01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:01.159 to New York and the hospital ship that he sent 1634 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:03.479 to La none of those things were ever used. And 1635 01:39:03.479 --> 01:39:06.359 Samaritan Purse didn't use it either. Why didn't they blow 1636 01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:09.520 the whistle on it? I really do think it may 1637 01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:11.600 not be dishonesty. I think it might be just that 1638 01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:14.760 Franklin Graham doesn't have any discernment or understanding with his stuff, 1639 01:39:14.760 --> 01:39:17.960 because I think he honestly, honestly believed that he got 1640 01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:21.520 the shot himself, because it wasn't too long after they 1641 01:39:21.560 --> 01:39:23.359 started rolling these shots out that he had to go 1642 01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:26.319 to the hospital for paracarditis. He nearly died. That was 1643 01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:30.960 the outside of his heart. They know has issues on 1644 01:39:30.960 --> 01:39:32.800 the outside of the heart. So they had to do 1645 01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:35.319 something that he had to have open heart surgery because 1646 01:39:35.359 --> 01:39:37.520 he got para carditis. I think he got the shot. 1647 01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:41.359 So they may be honest, just not discerning. I don't know. 1648 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:44.560 Jason Barker says what few good people there were in 1649 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:47.119 the military were forced out over the job mandate. I 1650 01:39:47.159 --> 01:39:49.960 think that was the purpose. I absolutely agree with you, Jason, 1651 01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:52.039 and Jason was one of those good people who was 1652 01:39:52.039 --> 01:39:57.159 forced out, the really good people, Matthew Ronson. So they 1653 01:39:57.279 --> 01:40:00.279 knew there was one route to this critical resource and 1654 01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:04.479 they made no provisions for getting there in a disaster. Yeah, 1655 01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:07.520 the excuse es to de industrialize the US wasn't the 1656 01:40:07.680 --> 01:40:11.239 environment quote unquote. The same people are building highly toxic 1657 01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:18.640 lithium mines and battery production plants exactly exactly. They It's 1658 01:40:18.720 --> 01:40:22.520 just everything they do is just filled with hypocrisy. Just 1659 01:40:22.600 --> 01:40:25.600 as they would complain about, well, we can't have crypto, 1660 01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:27.840 we can't have bitcoin because that crypto mining just uses 1661 01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:30.239 too much power, then look at what they're doing with 1662 01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:34.479 artificial intelligence. They've already added as a burden to the 1663 01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:37.600 electric grid for all of us. They've already added the 1664 01:40:37.640 --> 01:40:41.319 equivalent of three New York cities in terms of the 1665 01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:44.439 power requirement, and they're just getting started. And so they're 1666 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:46.399 going to have their own private nuclear power plants. They're 1667 01:40:46.399 --> 01:40:48.239 going to build nuclear power plants, but they're only going 1668 01:40:48.279 --> 01:40:51.119 to build them just big enough for themselves. They're not 1669 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:54.680 going to add any capacity to the to the grid. 1670 01:40:55.079 --> 01:40:56.920 While Biden and La La and all these people tell 1671 01:40:57.000 --> 01:40:59.720 us that we've got to have electric appliances, electric cars, 1672 01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:02.720 like everything, and there's no way we can do that. 1673 01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:06.399 At the same time, they're shutting down all of the 1674 01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:10.439 cheap and reliable power stations, and so we're going to 1675 01:41:10.520 --> 01:41:13.600 have very unreliable, very expensive power if we have it 1676 01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:16.920 at all. Jason Barker, hurricanes always peter out when they 1677 01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:20.760 hit land. Why did this one get stronger? Good point? 1678 01:41:21.199 --> 01:41:24.319 Good point. Yeah, I think that it is reasonable to 1679 01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:28.000 expect that they've got jew engineering going on. Look, you 1680 01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:29.920 go back to the Vietnam War, as I've talked about 1681 01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:33.520 many times, Vietnam War in the sixties into the early 1682 01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:37.840 seventies and afterwards, there was a medal that was handed 1683 01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:41.399 out for engineering the weather, you know, to a guy 1684 01:41:41.399 --> 01:41:44.079 who was working with the US military. And then right 1685 01:41:44.119 --> 01:41:48.600 after that there was a global agreement to not do 1686 01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:54.279 certain things about jew engineering. It's always been there, the 1687 01:41:54.399 --> 01:41:57.079 question has been and they've all kept it secret. They've 1688 01:41:57.119 --> 01:41:59.439 all pretended that they're not doing it. We've seen the 1689 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:03.319 kempt trail trains, We've seen the harps stuff. We know 1690 01:42:03.600 --> 01:42:06.640 that it is happening, but it's difficult to prove it. 1691 01:42:06.720 --> 01:42:10.840 But we know what is happening with this green grift. 1692 01:42:11.640 --> 01:42:13.680 I mean, they're going to poison the planet, just like 1693 01:42:13.720 --> 01:42:18.399 they poisoned us. That's another common thing with these mcguffins. Uh. 1694 01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:20.039 So we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be 1695 01:42:20.159 --> 01:42:20.520 right back. 1696 01:42:30.039 --> 01:42:36.520 M h. 1697 01:43:07.159 --> 01:43:09.560 You're listening to the David Knight Show. 1698 01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:15.760 Well, let's talk strikes, missile strikes, dock worker strikes, and 1699 01:43:16.760 --> 01:43:22.279 massive chaos on the horizon. Folks houses for an October surprise. 1700 01:43:22.920 --> 01:43:27.720 They by surprise, it's led to a surge in the 1701 01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:29.880 price of oil, a surge in the price of gold 1702 01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:34.319 because gold is a hedge against this kind of supply 1703 01:43:34.439 --> 01:43:37.399 chain disruptions. They're talking about supply chain disruptions like we 1704 01:43:37.479 --> 01:43:41.159 saw during twenty twenty or maybe worse, who knows. And 1705 01:43:41.439 --> 01:43:43.800 I got to admit I was wrong. I said the 1706 01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:45.239 other day, I said, I think This is nothing but 1707 01:43:45.359 --> 01:43:48.199 fear mongering on the part of zero Hedge to talk 1708 01:43:48.239 --> 01:43:51.720 about this, because I said, we've already had associated around 1709 01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:54.960 an election. We've already had a situation where they said, well, 1710 01:43:54.960 --> 01:43:56.840 look at this, this is going to really affect the election. 1711 01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:00.800 And of course, the federal government can always come in 1712 01:44:01.359 --> 01:44:05.079 and impose a cooling off period and then impose an 1713 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:08.119 arbitrated solution. They can always do that. They can always 1714 01:44:08.119 --> 01:44:11.439 declare that it is too critical to the nation. And 1715 01:44:11.479 --> 01:44:13.920 I figured they would do that, especially before an election. 1716 01:44:15.079 --> 01:44:19.600 But no, no, no, no, Biden wants chaos. And then 1717 01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:21.520 why I look at this more. I'm thinking that they're 1718 01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:26.720 setting up Trump to win because explain this by the 1719 01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:30.279 way you want to you want to prepare, you know, 1720 01:44:30.319 --> 01:44:32.560 prepare for it. It's going to happen. Financially, I go to 1721 01:44:32.600 --> 01:44:35.319 David Knight, Dodd Gold. That'll take you Tony Arbin's wise 1722 01:44:35.399 --> 01:44:40.000 wolf Gold. You can do this on a gradual basis, 1723 01:44:40.319 --> 01:44:43.439 average out your price, you know, pick a point with 1724 01:44:43.520 --> 01:44:47.079 wolf Pack that you want to save each month. You 1725 01:44:47.119 --> 01:44:49.960 can get the discount that you get with a large 1726 01:44:49.960 --> 01:44:51.640 buying group, or you can go in and you can 1727 01:44:51.680 --> 01:44:53.880 buy gold or silver in any amount large or small 1728 01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:57.199 with Tony Davidknight dot Gold will take you to Tony Ardaban. 1729 01:44:57.279 --> 01:44:59.520 We'll talk about this more tomorrow Tony and I. But 1730 01:45:00.319 --> 01:45:04.199 when you look at what is happening, so Israel has 1731 01:45:04.199 --> 01:45:08.199 invaded Lebanon, Iranian missiles of rain down and Israel investors 1732 01:45:08.239 --> 01:45:14.159 are pouring into safe havens like gold and so again, 1733 01:45:14.960 --> 01:45:18.439 you know, when you look at this strike, I thought 1734 01:45:18.479 --> 01:45:22.920 that this would be more important to the Biden administration 1735 01:45:23.000 --> 01:45:25.720 if they wanted to stay in office. I thought, well, 1736 01:45:26.199 --> 01:45:31.920 it's going to be far more important for them to 1737 01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:35.560 not have supply chain disruptions and all this general chaos 1738 01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:37.399 and shortages and empty shells and all the rest of 1739 01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:39.279 the stuff that's really going to hurt them. They're going 1740 01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:41.399 to pose this even though they have to go against 1741 01:45:41.439 --> 01:45:45.560 a union. But we're talking about the Biden administration here. 1742 01:45:46.520 --> 01:45:50.479 So workers at ports from Maine to Texas, the East 1743 01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:52.600 Coast as well as the Gulf Coast. The only thing 1744 01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:56.760 it's not affected is California because they've already had some 1745 01:45:57.159 --> 01:46:03.600 negotiations over there Nuisance governor nuisance. During the middle of 1746 01:46:03.680 --> 01:46:07.520 all this twenty twenty stuff and anything, imposed new rules 1747 01:46:07.560 --> 01:46:09.800 to create log jams remember how we talked about the 1748 01:46:09.840 --> 01:46:12.800 log jams that were happening in the California ports and everything. 1749 01:46:13.960 --> 01:46:18.279 Some of it was the unions over there, but a 1750 01:46:18.319 --> 01:46:23.680 great deal of it was the requirements from Gavin Newsoon, 1751 01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:28.319 the nuisance governor, that you couldn't go into these places 1752 01:46:28.399 --> 01:46:32.119 unless you had a brand new semi truck or something. 1753 01:46:32.239 --> 01:46:34.560 It was ridiculous the requirements that they were having there 1754 01:46:35.399 --> 01:46:37.199 and how they had people backed up. There was a 1755 01:46:37.239 --> 01:46:39.760 work slowed down. So that's only going to be the 1756 01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:42.279 only place where things are coming in and out is 1757 01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:45.359 going to be now out of California, the East and 1758 01:46:45.399 --> 01:46:51.880 West coast shut down, basically, just leaving the insanity in 1759 01:46:51.920 --> 01:46:54.800 California as the place where the big shipping stuff is 1760 01:46:54.800 --> 01:46:56.760 going to come in. Of course they can still send 1761 01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:58.760 stuff in by air, but you're going to wind up, 1762 01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:01.920 as these headlines are saying, you're going to have brown bananas, 1763 01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:08.920 crowded ports, empty shelves, shortages, rising prices. Freight Waves says, well, 1764 01:47:09.000 --> 01:47:12.319 it's going to affect us for everything from bananas to vaccines, 1765 01:47:13.079 --> 01:47:15.680 and they go into detail talking about, well, you know 1766 01:47:15.800 --> 01:47:19.520 in this particular area, you know we have this is 1767 01:47:19.520 --> 01:47:21.479 where a lot of automobiles come in in this area. 1768 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:25.640 We have this coming in that's all going to be stopped. Amazingly, 1769 01:47:25.720 --> 01:47:29.359 ninety percent of all internationally traded products are carried by ships. 1770 01:47:29.439 --> 01:47:34.399 At some point. Are the height of the pandemic panic, 1771 01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:39.239 we saw what these supply chain disruptions were like, and 1772 01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:42.399 now we're likely to see them again just before the election. 1773 01:47:44.119 --> 01:47:46.960 So the nineteen forty seven Taft Hartley Act is what 1774 01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:49.760 I was referring to. And the Biden administration had already 1775 01:47:49.840 --> 01:47:53.319 pulled this in with another strike that was going to 1776 01:47:53.319 --> 01:47:57.159 be crippling to the country's economy. And so people are saying, Biden, 1777 01:47:57.199 --> 01:48:02.680 are you there? Hello, Hello, Biden, you're there? Hello? Anybody home? 1778 01:48:03.680 --> 01:48:08.560 More than one hundred and seventy trade unions held captive 1779 01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:12.039 by one trade union. More than one hundred and seventy 1780 01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:15.199 trade union groups are joint or urging the Biden administration 1781 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:17.359 to intervene at the last minute to avoid a strike. 1782 01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:21.960 The government can invoke the nineteen forty seven Taff Hartley Act, 1783 01:48:22.520 --> 01:48:24.920 which allows a president to ask a court to order 1784 01:48:25.039 --> 01:48:28.239 an eighty day cooing off period when public health or 1785 01:48:28.319 --> 01:48:33.560 safety is at risk, and then they can even impose 1786 01:48:34.039 --> 01:48:38.039 After that, they can impose a solution on them. But 1787 01:48:38.640 --> 01:48:43.039 there's one big boss who is not having any of this. 1788 01:48:43.319 --> 01:48:46.399 You worried that the strike the capital to settle this thing? 1789 01:48:46.680 --> 01:48:48.760 Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt 1790 01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:51.239 the everyday American, the farmers that need to read they 1791 01:48:51.319 --> 01:48:52.399 reach the export market. 1792 01:48:52.399 --> 01:48:53.800 They're telling me that they're going to hurt them. 1793 01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:56.279 Start to realize who the long showman are, right. 1794 01:48:57.720 --> 01:49:01.359 People never gave it got us until now when they 1795 01:49:01.399 --> 01:49:04.159 finally realize that the chain is being broke. 1796 01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:08.800 Now, cars won't come in, food won't come in, clothing 1797 01:49:08.840 --> 01:49:09.479 won't come in. 1798 01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:12.880 You know how many people depend on our jobs half 1799 01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:15.720 the world, and it's time for them and time for 1800 01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:18.920 Washington to put so much pressure on them to take 1801 01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:21.119 care of us, because we took care of them and 1802 01:49:21.159 --> 01:49:23.119 we're here one hundred and thirty five years. 1803 01:49:23.000 --> 01:49:25.239 And brought to where they are today. And they don't 1804 01:49:25.239 --> 01:49:29.760 want to share. They don't want to share. Yeah, yeah, 1805 01:49:29.760 --> 01:49:32.840 you gotta gotta let me dip my beak here. You know, 1806 01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:37.479 mafia boss, this is a guy who makes seven hundred 1807 01:49:37.479 --> 01:49:40.760 and twenty eight thousand dollars from the union and then 1808 01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.239 he gets another one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars 1809 01:49:43.319 --> 01:49:48.079 as president emeritus of a local union branch, So his 1810 01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:52.560 combined salary is nine hundred and one thousand dollars a year. 1811 01:49:53.760 --> 01:50:00.399 This blue collar mob boss, it was amazing, is very 1812 01:50:00.479 --> 01:50:05.000 much like Laala's uncle, Sugar Sugar Daddy, you know, Willie Brown, 1813 01:50:08.079 --> 01:50:10.279 where he gave his lover a BMW and he was 1814 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:13.920 feeling around in Ferraris, and he had a portie that 1815 01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:16.600 was one of only four hundred maid and all the 1816 01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:18.680 rest of this stuff. Yeah, this is the lifestyle of 1817 01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:21.880 these guys. The New York Times said that this union 1818 01:50:21.920 --> 01:50:26.560 boss previously owned a seventy six foot yacht called the Obsession, 1819 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:30.680 and he rides around town in a Bentley. A Bentley 1820 01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:33.640 hundreds of thousands of dollars for that car. Telegraph noted 1821 01:50:33.680 --> 01:50:37.560 that the Justice Department, which has reportedly lost two cases 1822 01:50:38.119 --> 01:50:41.520 against mister Daggett, that guy that was talking there, has 1823 01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:46.000 accused him of being an associate of the Genovese crime family, 1824 01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:51.039 one of the infamous five families of the US mafia. 1825 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:55.640 Muss quoted on his commented on his yacht. He said, 1826 01:50:56.039 --> 01:51:04.680 this dude's got more yachts than me. Yeah, he's the 1827 01:51:04.720 --> 01:51:08.279 Biden response has been to all these massive supply chain 1828 01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:11.680 disruptions been don't care really, you know, when you look 1829 01:51:11.680 --> 01:51:14.840 at these bosses. It used to burn me to know. 1830 01:51:15.199 --> 01:51:20.159 And when I was in the Musicians Union, and it 1831 01:51:20.359 --> 01:51:22.720 was before I joined the Musicians Union, I was playing 1832 01:51:22.880 --> 01:51:25.319 at Bush Gardens and there was an accordion player there 1833 01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:30.039 that the local union came down on. And you know, 1834 01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:34.359 if you're in the mid nineteen seventies and you're an 1835 01:51:34.359 --> 01:51:36.920 accordion player, there's not an awful lot of gigs out 1836 01:51:36.920 --> 01:51:42.239 there for you. You know, there's only so many polka 1837 01:51:43.039 --> 01:51:47.880 dances that you So this guy was, he was hurting 1838 01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:51.880 for work. I felt sorry for him, and we alternated. 1839 01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:56.800 The band that I was alternated with Belly Dancers, and 1840 01:51:57.119 --> 01:52:02.000 the Belly Dancers had this guy on conga, and they 1841 01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:05.560 had the accordion player, and they had a clarinet player 1842 01:52:05.880 --> 01:52:08.960 from the University of South Florida who was an anthropology professor. 1843 01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:12.319 But actually they did a pretty good job with all 1844 01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:16.279 of that stuff. They also had a guy on a 1845 01:52:16.439 --> 01:52:19.920 trap set and he had to dress up in a 1846 01:52:19.920 --> 01:52:22.359 costume character thing and play the drum at the same time. 1847 01:52:22.439 --> 01:52:26.920 So kudos to him for that, but not an easy 1848 01:52:26.960 --> 01:52:31.239 gig for him. But the accordion player and the clarinet 1849 01:52:31.279 --> 01:52:34.000 player and the conga player did not have to dress 1850 01:52:34.079 --> 01:52:38.920 up that way, and so some union officials local union 1851 01:52:38.960 --> 01:52:41.399 officials saw this accordion player playing at Bush Garden and 1852 01:52:41.479 --> 01:52:44.239 Busch Gardens was blackballed by the lake by the union 1853 01:52:44.920 --> 01:52:49.560 because they didn't pay what the union said was minimum wage, 1854 01:52:50.039 --> 01:52:53.199 which at the time was something like, you know, four 1855 01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:55.640 dollars and seventy five cents. I know it sounds crazy, 1856 01:52:55.720 --> 01:52:58.600 but actually wasn't too bad of money back then, because 1857 01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:04.079 that's how bad inflation has ravaged the Fiat currency. And 1858 01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:06.119 when you looked at what they were paying us, so 1859 01:53:06.119 --> 01:53:08.159 it was like something like four to seventy five an hour, 1860 01:53:08.680 --> 01:53:11.279 and the union said, you're going to have people will 1861 01:53:11.279 --> 01:53:13.159 work for forty five minutes and they get a fifteen 1862 01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:16.520 minute break every hour. Well, Bush Gardens, we did a 1863 01:53:16.560 --> 01:53:19.159 half hour on and a half hour off because they 1864 01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:23.439 alternated two different bands, and they paid us nearly what 1865 01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:27.960 the minimum wage was for the musicians Union. But that 1866 01:53:28.000 --> 01:53:30.239 wasn't good enough for the musicians Union. They were going 1867 01:53:30.319 --> 01:53:33.840 to be just like this fireman, this little fire chief. 1868 01:53:34.680 --> 01:53:37.039 Now you can't fly your helicopter here while they were 1869 01:53:37.039 --> 01:53:38.680 going to do that, and then they came after this 1870 01:53:38.720 --> 01:53:41.720 guy with ruinous fines. It was unbelievable what they did 1871 01:53:41.760 --> 01:53:44.720 this poor accordium player. And I looked at that, and 1872 01:53:44.720 --> 01:53:47.079 eventually I did join the Musicians Union because I had 1873 01:53:47.119 --> 01:53:49.399 to to get in the bands that I was in, 1874 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:53.920 But it burned me to know and I have to 1875 01:53:53.960 --> 01:53:57.840 pay these union dues. When I saw how much the 1876 01:53:57.880 --> 01:54:00.560 head of the union was making, it wasn't as much 1877 01:54:00.560 --> 01:54:02.239 as this guy, but of course, seen with inflation, it 1878 01:54:02.239 --> 01:54:07.399 probably was or more. While we were making essentially a 1879 01:54:07.439 --> 01:54:11.359 little better than minimum wage at the time, and it 1880 01:54:11.520 --> 01:54:14.199 really bothered me to see how much money they made. 1881 01:54:14.880 --> 01:54:18.119 But it's always been that way. We had this argument with, 1882 01:54:18.840 --> 01:54:21.720 you know, a couple of guys that I was in 1883 01:54:21.800 --> 01:54:27.560 bands with. Their dads had been in bands like in 1884 01:54:27.600 --> 01:54:31.079 the nineteen forties and fifties, like big band type of things, 1885 01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:34.359 and they were so pro union. They said, oh, you 1886 01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:36.399 guys don't understand how we were exploited and all this 1887 01:54:36.520 --> 01:54:38.479 kind of stuff. I said, well, what about this exploitation. 1888 01:54:39.560 --> 01:54:41.640 It's like, you know, you can get it isn't just 1889 01:54:41.880 --> 01:54:44.319 you can get exploited in a lot of different angles here, 1890 01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:47.119 And I said, we're being exploited right now with these guys. 1891 01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:50.159 You just don't understand. We came together. The union was 1892 01:54:50.159 --> 01:54:51.479 a good thing. It got our wages up and all 1893 01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:52.720 this kind of stuff. And I said, well, it's taking 1894 01:54:52.760 --> 01:54:54.840 my wages down right now. I'm not really happy about it. 1895 01:54:54.840 --> 01:54:56.880 And I don't have much of us say. But this 1896 01:54:56.920 --> 01:55:00.239 guy who's running it is getting filthy rich, just like 1897 01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:05.199 this mafia figure. So the Bight administration's response to all 1898 01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:08.560 this is to, you know, what disruptions. We don't care 1899 01:55:08.560 --> 01:55:11.399 about any of that stuff as we head into an 1900 01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:15.319 election we had. As a matter of fact, somebody asked 1901 01:55:16.359 --> 01:55:22.199 the Commerce Secretary Raimondo, who I believe used to be 1902 01:55:22.359 --> 01:55:27.840 the governor of Rhode Island, and so they asked her 1903 01:55:29.039 --> 01:55:31.199 what she thought about all of this stuff. 1904 01:55:32.000 --> 01:55:34.279 Where have you been kind of focused in hearing on 1905 01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:37.279 what would happen if the strike goes let's say longer 1906 01:55:37.319 --> 01:55:37.720 than a week. 1907 01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:44.119 Again, I have not been very focused on that. 1908 01:55:44.920 --> 01:55:48.399 Oh, not very focused on that. Oh yeah, what if 1909 01:55:48.439 --> 01:55:50.680 we have a strike that shuts down the entire East 1910 01:55:50.680 --> 01:55:53.039 Coast and the Gulf Coast and pretty much everything shipping 1911 01:55:53.079 --> 01:55:56.800 in well, the Commerce Department secretary. Well, I haven't been 1912 01:55:56.880 --> 01:56:02.399 very focused on that. You got one job, lady, I don't. 1913 01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:05.319 Maybe she's been working on her resume that she's going 1914 01:56:05.359 --> 01:56:07.279 to need when she gets a new job when this 1915 01:56:07.319 --> 01:56:10.520 administration gets booted out in the next election. I guess 1916 01:56:10.319 --> 01:56:12.800 that's what she's been working on, because they're not working 1917 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:16.199 on focusing on this union boss. But a lot of 1918 01:56:16.239 --> 01:56:19.760 people have focused on him. Like I said before, the 1919 01:56:19.800 --> 01:56:21.960 FBI said, well, we think he's an associate of the 1920 01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:26.720 Genovese crime family. But he says, I'm not playing games. 1921 01:56:27.359 --> 01:56:28.960 We're going to fight for it. We're going to win 1922 01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:32.039 on this port, and or this port will never open again. 1923 01:56:32.199 --> 01:56:37.119 I'm not playing games. Harry threatens to cause havoc to 1924 01:56:37.199 --> 01:56:40.199 global trade and the US economy, and we're just going 1925 01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:44.119 to be held hostage to this thug by the Biden administration. 1926 01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:47.159 Biden is so far, we buffed calls from some of 1927 01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:50.159 the country's business biggest business groups and one hundred and 1928 01:56:50.159 --> 01:56:54.319 seventy other label labor unions to use federal power to 1929 01:56:54.319 --> 01:56:56.439 reopen the ports for eighty days at some point out 1930 01:56:56.439 --> 01:57:00.479 before the Taft Hartley Act, you know, keep this from happening. No, 1931 01:57:00.560 --> 01:57:04.319 he doesn't want to have protect ESTs from damage even 1932 01:57:04.479 --> 01:57:07.840 before his election, or maybe we should say La Law's election. 1933 01:57:07.880 --> 01:57:09.960 Maybe that has something to do with it, although I 1934 01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:13.520 don't know how much power he's actually got. It's only 1935 01:57:13.560 --> 01:57:15.960 fair that workers who put themselves at risk during the 1936 01:57:15.960 --> 01:57:19.239 pandemic to keep ports open see a meaningful increase in 1937 01:57:19.319 --> 01:57:23.560 their wages as well, said Biden. He's afraid of this 1938 01:57:23.680 --> 01:57:27.640 union boss rankly, or maybe he just wants to throw 1939 01:57:27.680 --> 01:57:32.119 the election and not help La La with all of this. 1940 01:57:32.640 --> 01:57:34.800 As a matter of fact, going back looking at the 1941 01:57:34.840 --> 01:57:38.800 history of mister Daggett, he was charged with racketeering in 1942 01:57:38.800 --> 01:57:40.680 two thousand and five. He took the witness stand and 1943 01:57:40.720 --> 01:57:45.920 portrayed himself as a mob target, not a mob associate, 1944 01:57:47.239 --> 01:57:51.680 despite evidence against him from a turncope mafia enforcer saying 1945 01:57:51.720 --> 01:57:53.279 that he was under the mob's control. As The New 1946 01:57:53.319 --> 01:57:56.279 York Times reported at the time, during that trial, one 1947 01:57:56.279 --> 01:58:01.960 of mister Daggett's codefendants, a renowned mobster named Lawrence Ricky, disappeared. 1948 01:58:02.720 --> 01:58:05.199 His decomposing body was found in the trunk of a 1949 01:58:05.239 --> 01:58:08.159 car outside of New Jersey diner several weeks later, with 1950 01:58:08.199 --> 01:58:13.239 the killing still unsolved, despite his union, serving as an 1951 01:58:13.359 --> 01:58:18.880 historic symbol of the grip of organized crime on union members, 1952 01:58:19.760 --> 01:58:24.640 as depicted in the nineteen fifty four film on the Waterfront. 1953 01:58:24.680 --> 01:58:26.840 Remember that that was a big thing for Marlon Brando. 1954 01:58:27.920 --> 01:58:30.960 There's big line in that. I could have been a contenda, right, 1955 01:58:32.039 --> 01:58:34.800 he was a prize fighter who took on the corruption 1956 01:58:35.399 --> 01:58:39.479 of the union. Well, I guess maybe we're going to 1957 01:58:39.520 --> 01:58:41.279 hear after this next election if they let this thing 1958 01:58:41.359 --> 01:58:44.239 run through for the mafia boss. I guess we're going 1959 01:58:44.319 --> 01:58:48.800 to hear La La say. I could have been a contenda, 1960 01:58:49.359 --> 01:58:54.479 but Biden cut the legs out from underneath my campaign. Yes, 1961 01:58:57.159 --> 01:59:01.560 another Marlon Brando thing, pass out. Thank you very much 1962 01:59:01.560 --> 01:59:05.359 for the tip. I appreciate that. And Sigmund was a fraud. 1963 01:59:05.960 --> 01:59:09.880 That's a big oil has become big metals now and 1964 01:59:09.920 --> 01:59:14.239 it works. And of course big windmills. You know the 1965 01:59:14.319 --> 01:59:17.439 people that are going to there. You know, the entire 1966 01:59:17.640 --> 01:59:21.800 cost of power on Long Island, like thirty four dollars 1967 01:59:22.199 --> 01:59:25.039 a mega one hour wholesale. They're going to make a 1968 01:59:25.079 --> 01:59:28.760 profit of over fifty dollars per mega one hour wholesale. 1969 01:59:29.039 --> 01:59:30.880 I mean that's a profit, not the whole cost, the 1970 01:59:30.960 --> 01:59:33.920 profit profit is going to be nearly double of what 1971 01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:36.960 the entire cost is right now. And that's all companies 1972 01:59:37.279 --> 01:59:41.920 running these windmills off the coast of Long Island. They 1973 01:59:41.920 --> 01:59:44.640 work with pharmaceutical companies to kill humanity, to make the 1974 01:59:45.000 --> 01:59:48.600 elites richer and more evil, big batteries, big pharm a 1975 01:59:48.640 --> 01:59:52.279 deep state, all satanic evil. That's right. But you know, 1976 01:59:52.359 --> 01:59:55.439 we can only depend on Elon Musk because he doesn't 1977 01:59:55.479 --> 01:59:56.880 have anything to do with any of that stuff, right. 1978 01:59:57.399 --> 02:00:00.800 He just became the world's richest man by selling the 1979 02:00:00.960 --> 02:00:05.239 ev illusion for DARPA, you know, including all the self 1980 02:00:05.319 --> 02:00:07.239 driving cars and everything. By the way, I'm going to 1981 02:00:07.279 --> 02:00:09.439 take a quick break here coming up, and we're going 1982 02:00:09.520 --> 02:00:12.119 to have Eric Peters joining us. Eric Peters has had 1983 02:00:12.319 --> 02:00:15.880 Elon Musk's number from day one. That's one of the 1984 02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:19.319 first things we ever talked about. Street lights have many 1985 02:00:19.720 --> 02:00:22.600 says they flooded the rice patties and them as well. 1986 02:00:23.239 --> 02:00:27.239 Toomic Dog, he's a conspiracy theory. These mining towns are 1987 02:00:27.279 --> 02:00:29.960 wiped or here's a conspiracy theory. These mining towns are 1988 02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:33.960 wiped out. The mines need workers. Now, oh, that's right. 1989 02:00:34.000 --> 02:00:36.560 There's an opportunity to bring in refugees for cheap to 1990 02:00:36.600 --> 02:00:38.840 replace them. That's right. That's the other part of it. 1991 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:41.880 We got cheap labor coming in. We can send all 1992 02:00:42.039 --> 02:00:47.239 of those patis from Ohio, and we can bring in 1993 02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:50.039 all the people from Afghanistan because you know, they got 1994 02:00:50.079 --> 02:00:52.319 a lot of lithium Afghanistan as well. We were there 1995 02:00:52.359 --> 02:00:55.119 for I thought for the long term to keep track 1996 02:00:55.159 --> 02:00:58.319 of that. So now that we lost our lithium mines 1997 02:00:58.359 --> 02:01:01.199 in Afghanistan, you know, what are we going to do? 1998 02:01:01.239 --> 02:01:05.159 I mean, we can't. We had the the poppy feels 1999 02:01:05.159 --> 02:01:08.560 for the opium. We lost that. We lost the lithium stuff. 2000 02:01:08.600 --> 02:01:13.319 So let's let's devastate North Carolina and Tennessee with lithium. 2001 02:01:14.119 --> 02:01:18.920 Brian and Deb McCartney, the ISLA workers, that's the longshoreman, 2002 02:01:19.840 --> 02:01:24.520 asked for a whopping seventy seven percent wage increase. Yeah, 2003 02:01:24.520 --> 02:01:29.159 they just want to dip their beak. How is that 2004 02:01:29.239 --> 02:01:33.319 even possible? Brian's union couldn't even get a ten or 2005 02:01:33.479 --> 02:01:36.760 nine or an eight. They got a three percent raise 2006 02:01:36.800 --> 02:01:38.359 and he works hard every day. That's right. There's one 2007 02:01:38.439 --> 02:01:41.439 hundred and seventy other unions, and then there's other businesses, 2008 02:01:41.479 --> 02:01:44.239 and there's consumers, and but we all take a back 2009 02:01:44.279 --> 02:01:48.840 seat to this guy who the FBI has investigated him 2010 02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:53.279 many times for, you know, put him under indictment for 2011 02:01:53.399 --> 02:01:57.159 being a mafia boss. I guess the mafia bosses kind 2012 02:01:57.199 --> 02:01:59.680 of hang out together, you know, like Joe Biden and 2013 02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:05.359 all the US birds of a feather dip in their beak. 2014 02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:07.159 And I guess we could say, well, we're going to 2015 02:02:07.239 --> 02:02:09.399 take a break and we'll be right back with Eric 2016 02:02:09.439 --> 02:02:11.760 Peters ep autos dot com. Stay with us. 2017 02:03:47.920 --> 02:03:50.279 You're listening to the David Night Show. 2018 02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:56.680 There is always great to have Eric on. We've been 2019 02:03:56.720 --> 02:04:01.479 talking about Elon Musk and uh these the Digital Millennium 2020 02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:05.279 Copyright Act and all these other scams for the longest time. 2021 02:04:05.319 --> 02:04:08.560 And of courses site ep autos dot com a great 2022 02:04:08.600 --> 02:04:12.199 site for all things about liberty and mobility because you 2023 02:04:12.239 --> 02:04:14.880 can't have one without the other, actually, quite frankly, and 2024 02:04:14.920 --> 02:04:18.680 they're trying to restrict both of those things free speeches 2025 02:04:19.239 --> 02:04:21.960 that they really have. Everybody on both sides are really 2026 02:04:21.960 --> 02:04:24.760 targeting free speech. It's truly amazing. But joining us now 2027 02:04:24.760 --> 02:04:26.199 is Zari Peter's good to have you, Eric, Thanks for 2028 02:04:26.319 --> 02:04:26.720 joining us. 2029 02:04:26.760 --> 02:04:28.800 Thank you, David. It's exasperating, isn't it to have to 2030 02:04:28.880 --> 02:04:32.000 just constantly construct the language. I was listening to you 2031 02:04:32.000 --> 02:04:34.039 a little bit before about while we were waiting to 2032 02:04:34.039 --> 02:04:35.840 go on, and you were talking about this business with 2033 02:04:35.920 --> 02:04:38.239 the strike in the unions, and it occurred to me 2034 02:04:38.279 --> 02:04:40.159 that there's sort of a rough analogy there between the 2035 02:04:40.159 --> 02:04:44.159 way we're represented by centers and congressmen. Right, I mean, 2036 02:04:44.159 --> 02:04:47.439 you don't have the option to say no, and that 2037 02:04:47.560 --> 02:04:50.239 based it an oxymoron, because you know, if you don't 2038 02:04:50.279 --> 02:04:53.079 have the proxy power to tell your so called representative 2039 02:04:53.319 --> 02:04:55.359 do this and only this, and do not do that. 2040 02:04:55.600 --> 02:04:57.560 And by the way, I only want you to do it. 2041 02:04:57.560 --> 02:05:00.880 If I say okay, then he's not represented you. He's 2042 02:05:00.960 --> 02:05:04.479 presuming to represent you. And that's a distinction and that 2043 02:05:04.520 --> 02:05:05.479 I think is important to me. 2044 02:05:05.680 --> 02:05:07.720 Oh yeah, it's very much like politics. You know. I 2045 02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:10.800 didn't have any He never asked me, are you gonna 2046 02:05:10.840 --> 02:05:12.760 hate down there? You know, you want to change any 2047 02:05:12.760 --> 02:05:14.640 of this stuff. I hated the way that they had 2048 02:05:14.640 --> 02:05:18.079 this stuff structured. And it wasn't even just the wage levels. 2049 02:05:19.000 --> 02:05:21.760 It was also, you know, the ways that they would 2050 02:05:22.239 --> 02:05:24.840 have they would mandate how the fees are supposed to 2051 02:05:24.840 --> 02:05:26.239 be split up within the band, and that's one of 2052 02:05:26.279 --> 02:05:29.720 the ways that they would get the band leader who 2053 02:05:29.760 --> 02:05:32.319 actually owned the band to sign up with the union 2054 02:05:32.359 --> 02:05:34.319 because he'd get a double share, you know, and all 2055 02:05:34.359 --> 02:05:36.239 of a sudden kinds. So they give these little incentives 2056 02:05:36.279 --> 02:05:38.479 to people to work with them, to join with them, 2057 02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:41.279 and then you either, you know, you either do that 2058 02:05:41.399 --> 02:05:43.640 or you can't have a job. And so yeah, it 2059 02:05:43.720 --> 02:05:45.840 is a very rigged process that we see with all 2060 02:05:45.880 --> 02:05:46.399 that stuff. 2061 02:05:46.600 --> 02:05:49.199 It's like, I'm off you, you know, and you know, 2062 02:05:49.199 --> 02:05:51.479 I've been covering this stuff for thirty years in the 2063 02:05:51.520 --> 02:05:54.079 car industry. It's the same thing. I don't necessarily have 2064 02:05:54.119 --> 02:05:57.439 an issue with unions per se, provided that they are voluntary. 2065 02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:00.319 If you wish to join a union, that's and that's 2066 02:06:00.359 --> 02:06:02.920 your prerogative. You should certainly have that right. But there's 2067 02:06:02.920 --> 02:06:05.720 something just surreal almost about like you said, if you 2068 02:06:05.720 --> 02:06:07.920 want to have this job, you must join this union. 2069 02:06:07.960 --> 02:06:11.119 You must hand over money to these people who then 2070 02:06:11.199 --> 02:06:15.199 presume to be your representative somehow. I mean, it's doubly 2071 02:06:15.239 --> 02:06:18.760 obnoxious because they are presuming to represent you and then 2072 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:21.079 they're taking money out of your pocket and they're using 2073 02:06:21.199 --> 02:06:23.960 threats of extortion that if you don't do this, we're 2074 02:06:23.960 --> 02:06:25.560 going to you know, we're going to just kick you 2075 02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:26.960 out of here and you're not going to have a job. 2076 02:06:27.159 --> 02:06:29.760 That's right. Yeah, we have some right to work states 2077 02:06:29.760 --> 02:06:32.600 where you are not required to They can't require you 2078 02:06:32.640 --> 02:06:34.560 to join the union to have a job, But then 2079 02:06:34.560 --> 02:06:36.560 we have some states where that's not there. And in 2080 02:06:36.640 --> 02:06:38.720 the situation that I was in in the music Union, 2081 02:06:38.880 --> 02:06:42.760 you were really required to do it because if they 2082 02:06:42.760 --> 02:06:46.760 didn't hire all union people, then that restaurant or whatever, 2083 02:06:46.880 --> 02:06:49.680 that club would get blackballed by the union and they 2084 02:06:49.680 --> 02:06:54.000 couldn't get anyway. So it's this coersive collectivist thing, you know, 2085 02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:57.279 and every level, the way they would twist people's arms, 2086 02:06:57.439 --> 02:06:59.680 I really really did hate it. 2087 02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:02.239 When I started my career back in the print days, 2088 02:07:03.239 --> 02:07:05.960 the the people who were in the composing room, which 2089 02:07:05.960 --> 02:07:07.520 was the place for back in the day, they would 2090 02:07:07.520 --> 02:07:10.039 physically put the pages of the newspaper together. They would 2091 02:07:10.079 --> 02:07:13.800 the machine would spit out. You're familiar with that. And 2092 02:07:14.159 --> 02:07:15.720 one time I happened to be down there and I 2093 02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:18.359 happened to glance at something on the editorial page of 2094 02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:21.159 the dummy for the morning's paper, and I noticed that 2095 02:07:21.199 --> 02:07:23.800 there was something missing, that somehow a sentence had been 2096 02:07:23.840 --> 02:07:26.079 cut out, so on my own I went ahead and 2097 02:07:26.119 --> 02:07:28.239 spat out the machine, a new piece of the thing, 2098 02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:30.039 and I put it in and there was practically a 2099 02:07:30.079 --> 02:07:33.359 tactical nuclear explosion that I you know who was supposed 2100 02:07:33.359 --> 02:07:36.520 to be upstairs and the editorial offices had dared to 2101 02:07:36.560 --> 02:07:40.399 trespass upon the you know, the fiefdoms of these union people. 2102 02:07:40.399 --> 02:07:42.039 I mean it was a big deal. Oh it was 2103 02:07:42.079 --> 02:07:44.199 a huge, big deal. And said hey, okay, great, thank 2104 02:07:44.239 --> 02:07:45.399 you for fixing that for us. 2105 02:07:45.600 --> 02:07:48.319 Oh yeah, And they do that with conventions still to 2106 02:07:48.359 --> 02:07:50.159 this day. You know, people would come in and they 2107 02:07:50.199 --> 02:07:52.239 would have booths to set up. And I've been involved 2108 02:07:52.239 --> 02:07:54.039 on both sides of that, both as an attendee of 2109 02:07:54.079 --> 02:07:57.479 the conventions and somebody setting up You don't do certain things. 2110 02:07:57.560 --> 02:08:00.319 You gotta wait for the particular union represent to come 2111 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:02.880 there and give you an extension court, and you better 2112 02:08:02.920 --> 02:08:06.600 not do anything else without calling one of these electrical 2113 02:08:06.760 --> 02:08:07.760 union representatives. 2114 02:08:09.239 --> 02:08:11.720 It weren't so tragic because we're all paying for this. 2115 02:08:11.800 --> 02:08:14.000 One of the reasons why the cost that everything is 2116 02:08:14.000 --> 02:08:15.760 going through the roof is because you've got all of 2117 02:08:15.800 --> 02:08:18.880 this dead weight and all of this inertia and bureaucracy 2118 02:08:18.920 --> 02:08:21.279 that has to be overcome before anything can get done. 2119 02:08:21.520 --> 02:08:25.119 Yeah, that's right. Well, it absolutely is crazy. I sent 2120 02:08:25.199 --> 02:08:28.800 you this clip of a of a Tesla and charging 2121 02:08:28.840 --> 02:08:32.560 station that has submerged. They got all these Tesla chargers 2122 02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:35.319 and they're standing in water, and the caption says, you 2123 02:08:35.399 --> 02:08:39.119 thought smoking at the gas pump was risky? You want 2124 02:08:39.159 --> 02:08:39.800 to go, boy. 2125 02:08:39.840 --> 02:08:42.399 We can attack this from so many different angles. One 2126 02:08:42.439 --> 02:08:44.680 of them is that when those when there's a danger 2127 02:08:44.760 --> 02:08:47.479 of a flood, they will shut off the high voltage 2128 02:08:47.479 --> 02:08:50.960 electricity to things like electric chargers because the obvious danger 2129 02:08:51.319 --> 02:08:53.800 that that presents. So now you've got the problem of well, 2130 02:08:53.800 --> 02:08:55.439 I've got my electric vehicle, how am I going to 2131 02:08:55.439 --> 02:08:57.680 get out of the path of the hurricane, you know, 2132 02:08:57.760 --> 02:08:59.960 before I get killed? And you can't because they've shut 2133 02:09:00.079 --> 02:09:02.159 the current off to it. Oh and if that hasn't 2134 02:09:02.159 --> 02:09:04.840 happened yet, So you're sitting there with fleating while the 2135 02:09:04.880 --> 02:09:07.359 water is rising, rising, rising, you know, and if you 2136 02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:09.319 wait there too long, then then your electric car is 2137 02:09:09.319 --> 02:09:11.000 going to go up and smoke. I just pooshed an 2138 02:09:11.079 --> 02:09:13.560 article about it. For all videos coming out of the 2139 02:09:14.079 --> 02:09:17.279 areas that were affected by the aftermath of the hurricane 2140 02:09:17.520 --> 02:09:20.680 that show electric cars erupting in flames. There's one in Florida. 2141 02:09:20.720 --> 02:09:23.159 There's another one that I've got in the article on 2142 02:09:23.199 --> 02:09:26.119 the site. And the reason for that I thought of 2143 02:09:26.159 --> 02:09:28.000 a really clever at least I thought it was a 2144 02:09:28.039 --> 02:09:29.960 way to understand this. Do you remember the original Star 2145 02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:34.000 Wars where Little destroys the Death Star by exploiting the 2146 02:09:34.000 --> 02:09:36.840 Death Star's weakness. There's a ventilation duct that he fires 2147 02:09:36.920 --> 02:09:39.479 the missile and it goes into the ventilation duck and 2148 02:09:39.479 --> 02:09:41.039 it goes to the very core of the Death Star 2149 02:09:41.079 --> 02:09:43.319 and blows it up. These are kind of like that. 2150 02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:46.760 They have a vent for that battery and if the 2151 02:09:46.800 --> 02:09:50.920 water reaches the events and gets in there, then boom, 2152 02:09:51.079 --> 02:09:52.079 there goes to the Death Star. 2153 02:09:52.319 --> 02:09:58.000 The last thing you hear is are two detail and 2154 02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:02.199 then pop. Yeah, it is. It's funny when we look 2155 02:10:02.239 --> 02:10:07.399 at this stuff, but it absolutely is crazy. And and 2156 02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:09.760 yet you know, when you look at this, one of 2157 02:10:09.800 --> 02:10:12.199 the things that you talk about all the time is 2158 02:10:12.359 --> 02:10:14.279 electric power windows. And it made me think about this. 2159 02:10:14.399 --> 02:10:16.479 I've got a friend who's got Tesla. He loves it. 2160 02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:19.560 I've driven the Tesla. I enjoyed driving it. I wouldn't 2161 02:10:19.560 --> 02:10:22.000 want to own one because the charging issues expense issues 2162 02:10:22.039 --> 02:10:24.880 and things like that. But I really did enjoy driving. 2163 02:10:24.920 --> 02:10:27.039 It was a very different experience because you know, with 2164 02:10:27.119 --> 02:10:31.399 a m Mark, with a Miata, it is a momentum car. Right, 2165 02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:33.319 You don't have a whole lot of horsepower, so you 2166 02:10:33.359 --> 02:10:35.439 want to keep that momentum through the curves and all 2167 02:10:35.479 --> 02:10:38.279 the rest of the stuff. Right, But with that car, 2168 02:10:38.399 --> 02:10:40.479 you know, it's just like you step on the gas. 2169 02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:43.880 It's like it's like when you would run the electric 2170 02:10:43.960 --> 02:10:46.199 slot cars when I was a kid. Right, you move 2171 02:10:46.279 --> 02:10:48.119 the lever and it's you know, and then when you 2172 02:10:48.159 --> 02:10:50.439 pull the lever back, immediately stops. And that's the way 2173 02:10:50.439 --> 02:10:52.439 this thing is. So it's really kind of a strange thing. 2174 02:10:52.640 --> 02:10:56.159 But he got stuck in his Tesla because he couldn't 2175 02:10:56.199 --> 02:10:58.600 get the doors to open because everything is under control, 2176 02:10:58.720 --> 02:11:02.319 and he was stuck in this car and had to 2177 02:11:02.359 --> 02:11:06.760 get had to call Tesla and get them to sign 2178 02:11:06.800 --> 02:11:09.199 into his car whatever and fix his car remotely so 2179 02:11:09.239 --> 02:11:11.000 he could get out of it. But you know, it's 2180 02:11:11.039 --> 02:11:13.279 not even that's a worst case scenario. We're talking about 2181 02:11:13.279 --> 02:11:15.159 a flood or something like that. Can you imagine, you know, 2182 02:11:15.199 --> 02:11:17.560 it gets everything is under software control all of a 2183 02:11:17.600 --> 02:11:19.760 sudden you got some water there. Now the computer's not working, 2184 02:11:19.800 --> 02:11:22.079 you can't get out of the door, and then it's 2185 02:11:22.199 --> 02:11:24.640 and then even in other cars, not even in a 2186 02:11:24.720 --> 02:11:27.399 Tesla or an EV. You've got a situation where now 2187 02:11:27.479 --> 02:11:31.079 almost all cars have electric windows. And I think about 2188 02:11:31.079 --> 02:11:33.000 that with a fly. Years ago, we used to do 2189 02:11:33.039 --> 02:11:37.319 product videos for a company that did promotional products, and 2190 02:11:37.359 --> 02:11:40.399 it was a very big thing, especially in Europe and Germany. 2191 02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:43.159 People would want to have these little things. They would 2192 02:11:43.199 --> 02:11:46.000 be like maybe a you know, a bottle opener and 2193 02:11:46.319 --> 02:11:49.520 a thing to smash your window, or a flashlight and 2194 02:11:49.560 --> 02:11:51.319 a thing to smash your window. But it was always 2195 02:11:51.520 --> 02:11:55.279 it always had this you know, pointed metal tip so 2196 02:11:55.319 --> 02:11:57.119 you could use it to break the window and get 2197 02:11:57.159 --> 02:11:59.840 out in case your car went into water, because every 2198 02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:04.159 he had electric windows. And it really is crazy when 2199 02:12:04.159 --> 02:12:07.920 we make ourselves with the complexity, we put ourselves at 2200 02:12:07.920 --> 02:12:10.000 the mercy of these types of things. You know, I 2201 02:12:10.119 --> 02:12:12.720 was It wasn't until my fifth car that I had 2202 02:12:12.760 --> 02:12:18.039 electric windows. They are all manual cranks, but now it's standard. 2203 02:12:18.119 --> 02:12:20.279 Even the cheap cars got electric windows. 2204 02:12:20.279 --> 02:12:23.119 Well, and they'd compounded the problem on Tesla. And it's 2205 02:12:23.159 --> 02:12:25.920 not just Tesla, some other manufacturers are doing this too. 2206 02:12:26.399 --> 02:12:29.560 They are laminating the side glass. Now, you know, we 2207 02:12:29.720 --> 02:12:32.119 shield glasses laminated because you don't want the glass to 2208 02:12:32.199 --> 02:12:34.680 shatter in the event that you have in accident. The 2209 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:39.119 problem is created side glasses. You can't break it, you know, 2210 02:12:39.199 --> 02:12:42.720 now your car. That poor woman, what was she a 2211 02:12:42.800 --> 02:12:45.039 sister in law of the Secretary of Transportation, somebody I 2212 02:12:45.199 --> 02:12:47.119 remember who it chose, I think what her name was. 2213 02:12:47.319 --> 02:12:50.159 This happened a few months ago. She was leading a 2214 02:12:50.199 --> 02:12:52.560 party I guess, in her tesla and she inadvertently backed 2215 02:12:52.640 --> 02:12:55.800 up into a pond. To remember this, and it was 2216 02:12:55.800 --> 02:12:57.560 so emotional. She would have had plenty of time to 2217 02:12:57.560 --> 02:12:59.880 get out of a car ordinarily, but she couldn't be 2218 02:12:59.880 --> 02:13:02.560 The a of the windows wouldn't go down, and apparently 2219 02:13:02.600 --> 02:13:05.199 the side glasses land made so the people who are 2220 02:13:05.199 --> 02:13:07.720 trying to get her out of there couldn't smash the glass, 2221 02:13:07.960 --> 02:13:09.319 and she ended up browning and dying. 2222 02:13:09.479 --> 02:13:13.199 Wow, because the door is under software control. That type 2223 02:13:13.239 --> 02:13:16.800 of thing. It truly is amazing when we see this 2224 02:13:16.920 --> 02:13:20.279 and again as part of the cost that we have 2225 02:13:20.319 --> 02:13:24.680 to pay because everybody's got the electric windows. It's absolutely insane. 2226 02:13:25.039 --> 02:13:28.000 You said there, I'm sorry to interrupt. I just wanted 2227 02:13:28.000 --> 02:13:30.439 to make because I do think it's important. There is 2228 02:13:30.720 --> 02:13:32.720 a subtle cost that we're all paying in the form 2229 02:13:32.760 --> 02:13:35.920 of increased insurance costs for all of this stuff. And 2230 02:13:35.920 --> 02:13:38.039 I don't have an issue with somebody who has the 2231 02:13:38.119 --> 02:13:40.560 money and wants to go out and buy a fifty 2232 02:13:40.600 --> 02:13:42.840 thousand or seventy thousand dollars vehicle that has all of 2233 02:13:42.840 --> 02:13:45.600 these electronics and power accessories and so on, but they 2234 02:13:45.640 --> 02:13:48.560 ought to pay the full cost for covering that. I 2235 02:13:48.600 --> 02:13:50.279 don't have a vehicle like that, and I don't see 2236 02:13:50.279 --> 02:13:52.840 why I ought to help, as they say, shoulder the 2237 02:13:52.840 --> 02:13:55.119 cost of that. But yet we are. We're also paying 2238 02:13:55.159 --> 02:13:57.199 for the costs incurred by all of these evs and 2239 02:13:57.199 --> 02:14:00.000 the fires that are happening when an EV burns down 2240 02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:02.399 and takes the house out along with it. Now, not 2241 02:14:02.479 --> 02:14:04.720 only do you have to replace a fifty or sixty 2242 02:14:04.720 --> 02:14:07.079 thousand dollars electric car, you have to replace a half 2243 02:14:07.119 --> 02:14:09.399 a million dollars worth of property damage on top of that. 2244 02:14:09.600 --> 02:14:13.359 Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely. And when we talk about insurance 2245 02:14:13.399 --> 02:14:16.079 companies looking for excuses to raise the rates and everything, 2246 02:14:16.359 --> 02:14:18.479 the stuff that's I reported on it, but it was 2247 02:14:19.119 --> 02:14:23.720 far more extensive video talking about the way that the 2248 02:14:25.039 --> 02:14:29.159 car manufacturers have a spot on us in so many 2249 02:14:29.159 --> 02:14:32.880 different ways, and how they're constantly sending reports to the 2250 02:14:32.920 --> 02:14:35.680 insurance companies. People are like, how come my insurance rates 2251 02:14:35.720 --> 02:14:38.079 doubled and anything. They got to the bottom of it, 2252 02:14:38.359 --> 02:14:41.199 and they found that there was this dossier that was 2253 02:14:41.239 --> 02:14:45.119 compiled and sent to the insurance company about all this stuff. 2254 02:14:45.159 --> 02:14:47.479 And of course the automobile companies are making a lot 2255 02:14:47.520 --> 02:14:49.520 of money by collecting that data and then selling it 2256 02:14:49.560 --> 02:14:52.119 to the insurance companies, and insurance companies can then raise 2257 02:14:52.119 --> 02:14:55.920 your rates for any kind of arbitrary thing. Well you 2258 02:14:56.279 --> 02:14:58.560 stopped too quickly. Well maybe I stopped quickly because the 2259 02:14:58.600 --> 02:15:01.319 car in front of me stopped quickly. You know. It's 2260 02:15:01.720 --> 02:15:05.560 they don't even they can't even validate the reason for 2261 02:15:05.640 --> 02:15:07.359 doing this, but they just have to have a pretense. 2262 02:15:07.640 --> 02:15:09.960 And so yeah, the insurance costs are going through the roof. 2263 02:15:10.239 --> 02:15:14.279 The cars are actually surveillance devices. Now, they're not just 2264 02:15:14.479 --> 02:15:16.520 as you and I've been talking about for a long time. 2265 02:15:16.960 --> 02:15:19.640 It's like a giant smartphone. It's got all these bells 2266 02:15:19.640 --> 02:15:21.520 and whistles and gadgets on it and everything, but just 2267 02:15:21.560 --> 02:15:25.479 like a smartphone, it's constantly surveilling and reporting on you, 2268 02:15:25.520 --> 02:15:32.039 and that that also is incredibly disgusting what these people are, which. 2269 02:15:33.720 --> 02:15:35.800 I look at it another way too, it's a metric 2270 02:15:35.880 --> 02:15:38.920 of the decline of civilization. I mean in the sense 2271 02:15:38.960 --> 02:15:42.479 of civility, and that there's something really barbarous about your 2272 02:15:42.520 --> 02:15:45.239 privacy being invaded in the effrontery and the arrogance of 2273 02:15:45.239 --> 02:15:47.800 the car companies that will do that to you, you know, 2274 02:15:47.840 --> 02:15:51.720 and they do it crazingly, and they do it, you know, 2275 02:15:51.960 --> 02:15:55.439 in a way that is really greasy, and they don't 2276 02:15:55.479 --> 02:15:57.399 tell you there's no informed consent. They don't say, hey, 2277 02:15:57.399 --> 02:16:00.640 by the way, your car is equipped with cameras and microphones, 2278 02:16:00.720 --> 02:16:03.640 would you mind would it be okay with you? You know, 2279 02:16:03.680 --> 02:16:05.680 if we if we collected this data because it might 2280 02:16:05.680 --> 02:16:07.640 be helpful to us and to you, YadA, YadA, YadA. 2281 02:16:07.640 --> 02:16:10.359 You don't have that opportunity. They just do it. I mean, 2282 02:16:10.680 --> 02:16:12.880 in my mind, no different than somebody just marching into 2283 02:16:12.920 --> 02:16:14.840 your house is having to look around, yeah, you know, 2284 02:16:15.239 --> 02:16:16.079 just because they can. 2285 02:16:16.520 --> 02:16:19.760 Or they conceal it in this massive terms of service 2286 02:16:19.800 --> 02:16:21.720 type of thing, right and change it. You know, by 2287 02:16:21.760 --> 02:16:24.560 the way, you didn't notice this, but you clicked. Okay 2288 02:16:24.680 --> 02:16:28.840 on this, You've got an article talking about hybrids. Don't 2289 02:16:28.880 --> 02:16:31.119 buy a hybrid, you said, And this is the thing 2290 02:16:31.159 --> 02:16:33.879 that people are kind of you know, the car companies 2291 02:16:33.920 --> 02:16:36.520 are really pushing this because nobody wants to buy a 2292 02:16:36.520 --> 02:16:38.840 card that they have to that they only have the 2293 02:16:38.840 --> 02:16:41.399 option of charging. It takes a long time, it's expensive, 2294 02:16:42.200 --> 02:16:45.000 but you know, they're they're moving towards the hybrids because 2295 02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:47.040 it's like, well, all right, it's a little bit less, 2296 02:16:47.040 --> 02:16:50.079 but that's not going to satisfy the regulators. It only keeps, 2297 02:16:50.159 --> 02:16:51.959 you can down the road just a little bit, because 2298 02:16:52.079 --> 02:16:56.840 people will not attack this lie at its foundation, which 2299 02:16:56.879 --> 02:16:59.879 is the CO two stuff. Because of that, everybody is 2300 02:16:59.879 --> 02:17:03.879 trying to ignore the elephant in the room, the massive lie, 2301 02:17:04.239 --> 02:17:06.159 and they're trying to comply with it one way or 2302 02:17:06.200 --> 02:17:08.799 the other without really rocking the boat. But talk about 2303 02:17:08.840 --> 02:17:13.280 why you say hybrids are not a great thing for. 2304 02:17:13.239 --> 02:17:15.920 People, Well, let's start with what you just said in 2305 02:17:15.959 --> 02:17:19.360 that essentially, they're not addressing the fundamental issue. They're hoping 2306 02:17:19.440 --> 02:17:21.879 that they can comply their way out of this, like 2307 02:17:21.879 --> 02:17:24.000 the people who continue to wear the face masks during 2308 02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:26.719 the pandemic, which is to imply our way out of this. Right, No, 2309 02:17:26.840 --> 02:17:29.200 they won't because eventually it's not going to be good enough, 2310 02:17:29.360 --> 02:17:31.719 and they'll come up with yet another reason to outlaw 2311 02:17:31.760 --> 02:17:33.639 the hybrids. Hybrids, and I don't have an issue with 2312 02:17:33.680 --> 02:17:37.079 them as such, but they are fundamentally compliance cars. What 2313 02:17:37.079 --> 02:17:38.879 do I mean by that, Well, they are the only 2314 02:17:38.959 --> 02:17:42.040 realistic way to achieve high gas mileage at this point, 2315 02:17:42.280 --> 02:17:45.280 because the government has issued regulations that have increased the 2316 02:17:45.319 --> 02:17:48.399 weight of cars to such a degree that it's almost unbelievable. 2317 02:17:49.079 --> 02:17:52.120 Compact cars now we are typically close to three thousand pounds, 2318 02:17:52.520 --> 02:17:55.479 and that's the reason why they get, relatively speaking, pretty 2319 02:17:55.479 --> 02:17:58.040 poor gas mileage. Most of them get maybe thirty five, 2320 02:17:58.079 --> 02:18:01.200 maybe forty miles per gallon on the highway. Maybe that's 2321 02:18:01.360 --> 02:18:04.079 pretty awful when you reflect and go back forty years 2322 02:18:04.440 --> 02:18:07.000 and find that cars were doing better than that forty 2323 02:18:07.079 --> 02:18:08.840 years ago. And the reason they were doing better than 2324 02:18:08.879 --> 02:18:11.440 that without all the technology that we have today's because 2325 02:18:11.520 --> 02:18:14.719 they were light simple. You know, it's just that simple. 2326 02:18:14.799 --> 02:18:18.399 So hybrids are a way to advertise higher gas knowledge. 2327 02:18:18.399 --> 02:18:20.440 But of course you're paying for that when you buy 2328 02:18:20.440 --> 02:18:23.639 the hybrid. You know, a Toyota Prius starts it around 2329 02:18:23.639 --> 02:18:25.879 twenty eight thousand bucks. So great, you know, it gets 2330 02:18:25.920 --> 02:18:28.719 fifty six miles for gallon, but you're paying ten thousand 2331 02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:31.000 dollars more, roughly than you would have to pay for 2332 02:18:31.639 --> 02:18:34.079 let's say, an entry level economy car if it were light. 2333 02:18:34.360 --> 02:18:37.239 And if that entry level economy car got fifty or 2334 02:18:37.280 --> 02:18:39.799 sixty miles per gallon, you just saved ten thousand dollars 2335 02:18:39.840 --> 02:18:42.319 and a lot of my down the road and gas too. 2336 02:18:42.879 --> 02:18:45.600 So and the other thing that I get into in 2337 02:18:45.639 --> 02:18:47.559 the article is the sort of subtle and hit more 2338 02:18:47.639 --> 02:18:50.479 hidden cost in that, just like an electric car, eventually 2339 02:18:50.559 --> 02:18:53.079 it will take longer, but eventually the battery in the 2340 02:18:53.079 --> 02:18:55.879 electric car is going to wear out, and it's a 2341 02:18:55.920 --> 02:18:57.520 battery in the hybrid is going to wear out, and 2342 02:18:57.559 --> 02:18:59.840 eventually you will have to replace that if you keep 2343 02:18:59.879 --> 02:19:02.840 the car beyond the point when that battery is no 2344 02:19:02.879 --> 02:19:06.200 longer serviceable, and you're looking at potentially two thousand dollars 2345 02:19:06.239 --> 02:19:08.239 for the battery plus the cost of labor. So there 2346 02:19:08.239 --> 02:19:11.520 it goes with a resaved in gas right there too. No, 2347 02:19:11.719 --> 02:19:16.159 it's just all of this artificiality, all of these these 2348 02:19:16.200 --> 02:19:18.520 solutions to problems that are created by government. It's like 2349 02:19:18.559 --> 02:19:21.159 that old saw about the guy who breaks your legs 2350 02:19:21.280 --> 02:19:22.920 and then gives you some crutches so that you can 2351 02:19:22.959 --> 02:19:24.120 hobble down the road a little bit. 2352 02:19:25.399 --> 02:19:28.079 And I think probably a good analogy for the hybrids 2353 02:19:28.280 --> 02:19:31.040 is hybrids are like preferred pronouns. 2354 02:19:31.639 --> 02:19:32.840 Yes, that's a really. 2355 02:19:32.600 --> 02:19:34.879 Good If you play along with it, they're only going 2356 02:19:34.920 --> 02:19:36.719 to come up with something else. So just stop it 2357 02:19:36.799 --> 02:19:39.399 right now and call it for what it is. It's insanity, 2358 02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:41.680 it's lunacy. I'm not playing along with this game. I'm 2359 02:19:41.680 --> 02:19:45.559 not playing your preferred hybrid. Your preferred hybrids are your 2360 02:19:45.559 --> 02:19:48.000 preferred pronouns either. I love what you put in the 2361 02:19:48.120 --> 02:19:51.079 article is that those who rationalize this loss of time 2362 02:19:51.639 --> 02:19:54.719 or range or pick are like the Parsons, the character 2363 02:19:55.000 --> 02:19:58.239 in in Orwell's nineteen eighty four who eagerly tout how 2364 02:19:58.280 --> 02:20:01.600 Big Brother has increased the chocolate. Rah, Well, everybody knows 2365 02:20:01.600 --> 02:20:06.680 that has actually been reduced, right, Yeah, yeah. 2366 02:20:05.440 --> 02:20:08.319 Yeah, I mean it's it is a form of derangement, 2367 02:20:08.639 --> 02:20:10.120 you know. I have to deal with this on an almost 2368 02:20:10.120 --> 02:20:14.120 daily basis. The ev apologists say things like, oh, well, 2369 02:20:14.159 --> 02:20:16.079 I don't have to wait because I'm at home doing 2370 02:20:16.120 --> 02:20:18.799 other things. All my electric car charges. Well, that's like saying, 2371 02:20:18.799 --> 02:20:20.879 you know, I've got I've got a contractor who said 2372 02:20:20.879 --> 02:20:23.159 he's going to come sometime between twelve and six today, 2373 02:20:23.399 --> 02:20:25.280 But I guess I'll do something else, you know, around 2374 02:20:25.319 --> 02:20:26.920 the house while I'm waiting for the sky to show. 2375 02:20:27.079 --> 02:20:29.200 They're still waiting. I mean, the fact that you're doing 2376 02:20:29.239 --> 02:20:31.239 something else while you wait doesn't change the fact that 2377 02:20:31.280 --> 02:20:33.159 you're waiting. When you go to the dentist and you're 2378 02:20:33.200 --> 02:20:35.760 sitting in the waiting room reading the magazine you're waiting 2379 02:20:35.799 --> 02:20:36.440 for the dentist. 2380 02:20:37.280 --> 02:20:40.639 Yeah. Yeah, when we look at this and where this 2381 02:20:40.799 --> 02:20:44.360 is all going, you and I have talked about for 2382 02:20:44.440 --> 02:20:46.680 the longest time. They're going to get everybody loaded up 2383 02:20:46.680 --> 02:20:48.719 with EVS and then they're going to shut down the 2384 02:20:48.719 --> 02:20:51.239 power grid. Well, that's already happening. We've talked about that 2385 02:20:51.280 --> 02:20:53.360 for years, and now they're rolling it out. Because now 2386 02:20:53.399 --> 02:20:56.920 the EPA is setting its sites on the power companies 2387 02:20:56.920 --> 02:20:59.600 that can be relied, on the power companies that are cheap, 2388 02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:02.639 we'll be able to have some unreliable power that is 2389 02:21:02.680 --> 02:21:04.799 going to be four to ten times more expensive than 2390 02:21:04.799 --> 02:21:06.879 what we're paying each month. You got one hundred and 2391 02:21:06.879 --> 02:21:09.920 fifty dollars bill how about a fifteen hundred dollars a 2392 02:21:09.959 --> 02:21:12.000 month bill, because that's what you're going to get if 2393 02:21:12.000 --> 02:21:17.920 we keep going down this road of this renewable grift, 2394 02:21:18.120 --> 02:21:20.120 and that's what it is, is nothing other than a grift. 2395 02:21:20.120 --> 02:21:23.079 You're going to wind up with something between one thousand 2396 02:21:23.120 --> 02:21:25.840 and two thousand dollars every month just for electricity, and 2397 02:21:25.879 --> 02:21:28.479 you're going to have brownouts and rationing and all the 2398 02:21:28.479 --> 02:21:30.520 rest of the stuff. And they want everybody to put 2399 02:21:30.559 --> 02:21:32.920 everything on the grid, but they're not going to put 2400 02:21:32.920 --> 02:21:35.239 their critical systems on the grid. Their critical systems are 2401 02:21:35.280 --> 02:21:39.559 artificial intelligence, to surveil us, to propagandize us, to censor us. 2402 02:21:39.760 --> 02:21:42.200 They're going to have their own separate power grid for that. 2403 02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:44.399 But we're already seeing what you and I knew was 2404 02:21:44.440 --> 02:21:48.399 going to happen. Move everybody over to the one preferred, 2405 02:21:48.760 --> 02:21:54.399 the only allowed solution quote unquote to their imagined problem, 2406 02:21:54.479 --> 02:21:57.200 just like with a vaccine, and then shut that down. 2407 02:21:57.520 --> 02:21:59.079 And that's what's already happening now. 2408 02:21:59.479 --> 02:22:02.200 I think it's it's even worse than a Mirre grift, 2409 02:22:02.319 --> 02:22:04.639 which would be bad, but you know, it's of a 2410 02:22:04.680 --> 02:22:08.079 piece with some scam guy who takes your money and 2411 02:22:08.159 --> 02:22:10.959 all you lost is your money. This is more significant 2412 02:22:10.959 --> 02:22:14.600 because it's not just our money that they're after. They're 2413 02:22:14.680 --> 02:22:19.840 after not only our freedom, they're after our basic quality 2414 02:22:19.920 --> 02:22:21.600 of life. You know, things that we have taken for 2415 02:22:21.639 --> 02:22:23.879 granted in this country for a very long time, like 2416 02:22:23.920 --> 02:22:26.840 a refrigerator that works like hot water in the house. 2417 02:22:27.360 --> 02:22:29.920 It's not just the cars, it's energy. All this stuff 2418 02:22:29.959 --> 02:22:33.520 has to do ultimately with rationing energy. It's not just 2419 02:22:33.600 --> 02:22:36.600 the cars, it's everything. They want to insurf us by 2420 02:22:36.799 --> 02:22:40.360 reducing the availability of energy, either through outright rationing or 2421 02:22:40.399 --> 02:22:43.239 through prices that are so high that most people just 2422 02:22:43.319 --> 02:22:44.280 can't afford it and need. 2423 02:22:44.600 --> 02:22:47.719 Oh yeah, absolutely. I've got a comment here from Ratus 2424 02:22:47.719 --> 02:22:49.479 bro and thank you for the tep I appreciate that 2425 02:22:49.520 --> 02:22:52.600 says I've delivered more than seven hundred Amazon packages in 2426 02:22:52.680 --> 02:22:56.040 three days. I don't work for Amazon, only make nineteen 2427 02:22:56.079 --> 02:23:00.639 eighty three. The post office is still out of contract. 2428 02:23:01.159 --> 02:23:03.559 No one is being paid fairly. Who does a real job, 2429 02:23:03.600 --> 02:23:05.639 That's right, They're just going to use people. 2430 02:23:05.719 --> 02:23:05.920 You know. 2431 02:23:06.079 --> 02:23:09.079 It's the same type of thing, Eric, that I said 2432 02:23:09.120 --> 02:23:13.239 for the longest time when I talk about Travis Kalalnik, 2433 02:23:13.520 --> 02:23:16.719 who is the founder CEO of Uber. And so the 2434 02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:21.159 reason that the reason that the Uber is expensive for 2435 02:23:21.239 --> 02:23:24.000 you is because that other guy in the car, you know, 2436 02:23:24.079 --> 02:23:26.680 the guy who owns the car, the guy who pays 2437 02:23:26.760 --> 02:23:29.079 all of the maintenance and the gas and all the 2438 02:23:29.120 --> 02:23:31.879 rest of the stuff, that guy's making your ride expensive. No, 2439 02:23:32.280 --> 02:23:35.719 Travis Kalalnik and that corporation was getting largely a free 2440 02:23:35.760 --> 02:23:39.040 ride off of this guy while they're working to set 2441 02:23:39.079 --> 02:23:41.959 up their own cars and eliminate all drivers. It's just 2442 02:23:42.040 --> 02:23:44.520 amazing how they manipulate people like that. 2443 02:23:44.959 --> 02:23:47.799 It's absolutely despicable. Yeah, most of the people who are 2444 02:23:47.840 --> 02:23:50.600 trying to streep out a living doing lubering and that 2445 02:23:50.680 --> 02:23:53.040 sort of thing are just that, just barely screeping out 2446 02:23:53.040 --> 02:23:54.840 a living. Whereas in the past, you know, if you 2447 02:23:54.879 --> 02:23:57.440 called it a taxi driver, the taxi driver probably made 2448 02:23:57.440 --> 02:23:59.600 a pretty decent living, you know, because the car was 2449 02:23:59.639 --> 02:24:02.120 provided by the company. You know, he's working for the company, 2450 02:24:02.120 --> 02:24:04.200 and the company took care of all the fleet maintenance stuff, 2451 02:24:04.799 --> 02:24:07.120 not your personal vehicle. It's really a bad deal to 2452 02:24:07.360 --> 02:24:10.040 use your personal car for something like that because you're 2453 02:24:10.079 --> 02:24:11.879 putting monels on it, your wear and tearing it. You're 2454 02:24:11.879 --> 02:24:14.440 paying for the fuel the insurance and everything else, and 2455 02:24:14.520 --> 02:24:16.440 you know you're making fifteen twenty bucks an hour and 2456 02:24:16.479 --> 02:24:18.120 it's going to end up not being a really good 2457 02:24:18.120 --> 02:24:19.200 deal once you do the math. 2458 02:24:19.360 --> 02:24:21.479 That's right. Well, you have people who it was actually 2459 02:24:21.479 --> 02:24:23.399 a small business. You know, it was a small business, 2460 02:24:23.440 --> 02:24:26.399 like somebody would open up a barbershop or hair salon 2461 02:24:26.479 --> 02:24:28.159 or al salon or something like that. That's the kind of 2462 02:24:28.159 --> 02:24:31.879 stuff that's left for us because Wall Street and trying 2463 02:24:31.920 --> 02:24:34.040 to have taken over manufacturing and other things like that. 2464 02:24:34.079 --> 02:24:36.680 Even most of the retail store, so service businesses are 2465 02:24:36.719 --> 02:24:38.159 kind of what's left. And so you had a lot 2466 02:24:38.159 --> 02:24:41.600 of people who invested money into a taxi medallion, a 2467 02:24:41.680 --> 02:24:44.639 license that was sold by the city. I remember doing 2468 02:24:44.639 --> 02:24:48.200 a report. I was taking a taxi in Washington and 2469 02:24:48.559 --> 02:24:50.920 I was talking to a guy about that, and it 2470 02:24:51.000 --> 02:24:55.040 was maybe about eight or nine years ago, and he 2471 02:24:55.399 --> 02:24:57.200 just you know, started ranting, Sai, wait a minitt, wait 2472 02:24:57.200 --> 02:25:00.200 a minute, let me get my phone, and I him 2473 02:25:00.239 --> 02:25:03.840 rent about what was happening, and he was furious. In Washington, 2474 02:25:03.920 --> 02:25:06.760 d C. Said, yeah, they've got their own inspectors who 2475 02:25:06.840 --> 02:25:09.959 come around and give a white glove inspection to your car. 2476 02:25:10.120 --> 02:25:12.120 And he goes, and if that isn't bad enough, that 2477 02:25:12.239 --> 02:25:16.760 we've got our own special police ticketing agency that is there. 2478 02:25:17.040 --> 02:25:19.319 He said, if that's not bad enough, they're now going 2479 02:25:19.399 --> 02:25:22.639 to require that you can't have a car that's got 2480 02:25:22.680 --> 02:25:25.120 that's older than this number of years or has more 2481 02:25:25.159 --> 02:25:27.440 than this number of miles. And this is before Gavin 2482 02:25:27.520 --> 02:25:31.639 Newsom started doing that to diesel to semi trailers out 2483 02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:34.479 in California that we're going to the ports. But they said, 2484 02:25:34.479 --> 02:25:36.079 you're going to require that we have a new car. 2485 02:25:36.120 --> 02:25:38.719 And he goes, I take care of this. He goes, yeah, 2486 02:25:38.719 --> 02:25:40.760 I've got a couple hundred thousand miles on it. But 2487 02:25:41.159 --> 02:25:43.680 he says, this thing is running fine. I don't want 2488 02:25:43.719 --> 02:25:46.040 to spend and I can't spend the money to buy 2489 02:25:46.079 --> 02:25:49.799 a new taxi. And so they're seeing the value of 2490 02:25:49.799 --> 02:25:52.920 their medallion. These people invest a lot of money in 2491 02:25:53.000 --> 02:25:55.520 this to get a license. That was their overhead cost 2492 02:25:55.639 --> 02:25:59.479 to start their business, and now that is eviscerated. Absolutely sure, I. 2493 02:25:59.399 --> 02:26:01.120 Want you to be a license for such things. I 2494 02:26:01.159 --> 02:26:03.719 mean a process exactly. I mean if I want to 2495 02:26:04.280 --> 02:26:06.440 provide a servers to people and people are willing to 2496 02:26:06.440 --> 02:26:09.479 pay me, that should be a legal activity. The fact 2497 02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:12.159 that that is in illegal activity as such, because we're 2498 02:26:12.159 --> 02:26:14.319 not talking about any abuse. We're not talking about anybody 2499 02:26:14.360 --> 02:26:17.399 being ripped, offerating harmsteating costs. We're talking about a voluntary 2500 02:26:17.440 --> 02:26:20.680 transaction between two willing parties. Why has the government involved 2501 02:26:20.680 --> 02:26:21.200 in these things? 2502 02:26:21.280 --> 02:26:23.879 Yes, right, yeah, that's a taxi license scam in and 2503 02:26:23.879 --> 02:26:27.360 of itself. Just already decade sol you go back to 2504 02:26:27.680 --> 02:26:30.559 when there was a vibrant black middle class in the cities, 2505 02:26:30.600 --> 02:26:32.719 and one of the things that was helping them with 2506 02:26:32.760 --> 02:26:35.959 that was the taxis would say, well, we're not going 2507 02:26:36.040 --> 02:26:37.840 to go in the black sections of town. So quickly 2508 02:26:38.040 --> 02:26:40.920 you started having people start providing the taxi service to 2509 02:26:40.920 --> 02:26:42.680 their neighbors, and all of a sudden you have this 2510 02:26:42.799 --> 02:26:46.079 jitny taxi service type of thing. And then the city's 2511 02:26:46.120 --> 02:26:47.879 come sweeping in and so we better pay a license 2512 02:26:47.879 --> 02:26:49.600 for that kind of stuff and shut all that stuff down. 2513 02:26:49.760 --> 02:26:54.040 It was a classic case of entrepreneurism and a vibrant 2514 02:26:54.280 --> 02:26:57.799 middle class that was working within the community. They can't 2515 02:26:57.799 --> 02:27:01.399 have that. Everybody's got to pay them, you know, render 2516 02:27:01.479 --> 02:27:04.479 to Caesar whatever Caesar demands. 2517 02:27:04.319 --> 02:27:07.360 It's like a it's literally a revivification of feudalism. In 2518 02:27:07.399 --> 02:27:09.479 which you had to be part of the guild in 2519 02:27:09.600 --> 02:27:12.600 order to practice whatever the trade was that you had, 2520 02:27:12.920 --> 02:27:15.319 and if you didn't, if you operated outside of the guild, 2521 02:27:15.719 --> 02:27:18.000 that was unoffence and you could be you could be 2522 02:27:18.040 --> 02:27:21.360 attacked and prosecuted for that. And it's a crazy thing 2523 02:27:21.399 --> 02:27:23.799 when you think about it. You've got I've got a service, 2524 02:27:23.840 --> 02:27:25.879 I've got a skill, i can do something. I'm saying, hey, 2525 02:27:25.959 --> 02:27:27.479 would you like me to do this for you? And 2526 02:27:27.520 --> 02:27:30.959 you say, yeah, that sounds good, I'll pay you. That's 2527 02:27:31.040 --> 02:27:34.360 between us. It shouldn't be between anybody else, period, you know, 2528 02:27:34.479 --> 02:27:37.079 especially if nobody neither party is alleging that anybody's been 2529 02:27:37.079 --> 02:27:38.479 defrauded or harmed in any way. 2530 02:27:38.799 --> 02:27:41.760 That's right. And of course, you know, fifty sixty years ago, 2531 02:27:41.920 --> 02:27:44.360 that was where the fight was. Now the fight is 2532 02:27:44.399 --> 02:27:46.760 over our food because now they're doing that to the 2533 02:27:46.799 --> 02:27:49.840 Amos millers and the Amish farmers and stuff. No, you 2534 02:27:49.920 --> 02:27:53.159 can't have raw milk, you can't have your own cows, 2535 02:27:53.159 --> 02:27:55.000 and you can't give that to people. We're going to 2536 02:27:55.040 --> 02:27:57.479 come in. You've got a voluntary market here. Nobody's sick. 2537 02:27:57.520 --> 02:28:00.600 We're not saying anything has happened to anybody, but we're 2538 02:28:00.600 --> 02:28:02.600 not going to allow that. And so this is going 2539 02:28:02.639 --> 02:28:05.399 to be because we've allowed them to do this in 2540 02:28:05.440 --> 02:28:08.000 these other areas and to set these precedents. Now they're 2541 02:28:08.040 --> 02:28:09.840 doing the same thing. They're going to do the same 2542 02:28:09.840 --> 02:28:13.600 thing to farms and for our food supply. It never ends. 2543 02:28:13.760 --> 02:28:17.120 If you let these people establish these precedents, they never 2544 02:28:17.159 --> 02:28:18.440 stop it. 2545 02:28:18.680 --> 02:28:22.479 Absolutely, it's extremely important to challenge the fundamental underlying principle 2546 02:28:22.719 --> 02:28:26.600 and say no, we're not going to comply with that period, hardstop. 2547 02:28:26.719 --> 02:28:29.680 That's it. There's no quibbling about whose plan is better. 2548 02:28:29.760 --> 02:28:30.680 There should be no plan. 2549 02:28:31.559 --> 02:28:34.440 There should be no. That's the other thing. Everybody's like, well, 2550 02:28:34.479 --> 02:28:36.680 where's the economic plan from Trump and La La, And 2551 02:28:36.680 --> 02:28:39.600 it's either one of them are going to say, I 2552 02:28:39.639 --> 02:28:42.159 don't do centrally planned economies. I'm an American. 2553 02:28:44.159 --> 02:28:46.520 It sounds chaotic. I was listening to Jordan Peterson talk 2554 02:28:46.520 --> 02:28:48.600 about this a couple of days ago, and I think 2555 02:28:48.680 --> 02:28:51.399 part of the lure of leftism and also the same 2556 02:28:51.440 --> 02:28:54.680 thing on the right, frankly, is that some people fear 2557 02:28:54.799 --> 02:28:58.200 what they perceive to be the chaos of decentralization. Yeah, 2558 02:28:58.239 --> 02:29:01.479 you know, they like the idea of this rigid, centralized 2559 02:29:01.520 --> 02:29:04.200 control apparatus, which they and I'm giving them the benefit 2560 02:29:04.280 --> 02:29:06.440 of the doubt that they're not necessarily evil, that they 2561 02:29:06.440 --> 02:29:08.200 think that that's just a better way to do things, 2562 02:29:08.200 --> 02:29:11.319 but it really isn't. Decentralization works better because you've got 2563 02:29:11.360 --> 02:29:14.399 all of these individuals making their own individual choices, and 2564 02:29:15.079 --> 02:29:17.040 that is a way to sort of flesh out which 2565 02:29:17.120 --> 02:29:20.639 choices actually are the better ones because they succeed, whereas 2566 02:29:20.680 --> 02:29:24.680 the bad ones fail. Failure becomes evident at a smaller scale, 2567 02:29:24.920 --> 02:29:28.559 further down the pyramid, and so collectively you end up 2568 02:29:28.559 --> 02:29:31.079 with something much better, which was why America was such 2569 02:29:31.079 --> 02:29:34.639 a successful and prosperous country for so long, and particularly 2570 02:29:35.000 --> 02:29:38.280 for working class people. You could be a working class 2571 02:29:38.319 --> 02:29:41.440 guy and you could afford a single family home, maybe 2572 02:29:41.479 --> 02:29:43.680 not a McMansion, but you could afford your own single 2573 02:29:43.680 --> 02:29:46.520 family home. Your wife didn't have to work, she could 2574 02:29:46.520 --> 02:29:48.920 stay home to raise your kids. You could afford two 2575 02:29:48.959 --> 02:29:51.920 new cars every three years. Yeah, I mean, it's astounding 2576 02:29:51.959 --> 02:29:54.120 to think that we had that once in this country, 2577 02:29:54.319 --> 02:29:56.200 and bit by bit and piece by piece, it's just 2578 02:29:56.239 --> 02:29:57.399 been taken away from us. 2579 02:29:57.639 --> 02:29:59.120 He had a home, you had a new car that 2580 02:29:59.200 --> 02:30:01.559 you point years. You take a family vacation. You can 2581 02:30:01.600 --> 02:30:05.479 do it with one family income while you know the 2582 02:30:05.479 --> 02:30:08.000 mother actually was a mother and took care of the 2583 02:30:08.079 --> 02:30:11.200 kids and that type of stuff. Now we've got both 2584 02:30:11.280 --> 02:30:13.719 parents working and they got to farm the kids out 2585 02:30:13.760 --> 02:30:16.159 now to have the government do day care for them, 2586 02:30:16.520 --> 02:30:18.959 and so that has to be a right. It's amazing 2587 02:30:18.959 --> 02:30:20.399 how we get trapped into. This is one of the 2588 02:30:20.479 --> 02:30:23.520 things that really concerns me about the Maga cult, the 2589 02:30:23.600 --> 02:30:27.520 fact that they are looking for a savior. This used 2590 02:30:27.520 --> 02:30:30.079 to always be the hallmark of the Democrats, used to 2591 02:30:30.120 --> 02:30:32.920 be one of the distinguishing features between the Democrats and Republicans. 2592 02:30:33.040 --> 02:30:36.239 They're looking for everything to be solved by government, and 2593 02:30:36.360 --> 02:30:38.959 especially by Washington. It used to be, well, don't make 2594 02:30:38.959 --> 02:30:40.799 a federal case out of it. Well, now everything is 2595 02:30:40.840 --> 02:30:42.959 a federal case. And now the Conservatives want to make 2596 02:30:43.000 --> 02:30:46.079 everything a federal case. Whatever is important to them, they 2597 02:30:46.079 --> 02:30:48.600 want it solved in Washington, just like the Liberals do. 2598 02:30:48.840 --> 02:30:51.399 And you can hear everybody saying stuff like, well there 2599 02:30:51.399 --> 02:30:53.520 ought to be a law about against that and everything. 2600 02:30:53.559 --> 02:30:56.639 It's like no. But what you never hear anybody say 2601 02:30:57.399 --> 02:31:00.120 is it's a free country, isn't it. 2602 02:31:00.200 --> 02:31:02.040 Because we all understand that it no longer is. I 2603 02:31:02.040 --> 02:31:03.399 think that's very revelatory. 2604 02:31:03.600 --> 02:31:04.399 Yeah. 2605 02:31:04.719 --> 02:31:07.200 Trump the other day said something, he tweeted out something 2606 02:31:07.200 --> 02:31:10.600 about how he's elected, he's going to slash the cost 2607 02:31:10.639 --> 02:31:14.840 of car insurance by executive FIAT or by opposing price controls, 2608 02:31:15.159 --> 02:31:17.520 and all the red hats shared and clapped like seals, 2609 02:31:17.520 --> 02:31:19.600 and I said, so now we're clapping for price controls 2610 02:31:19.799 --> 02:31:22.200 to the federal government, you know, as opposed simply getting 2611 02:31:22.239 --> 02:31:24.559 the government out of this thing and saying, okay, look, 2612 02:31:24.680 --> 02:31:26.479 if a person wants to buy insurance, they have the 2613 02:31:26.559 --> 02:31:28.479 right to choose to buy insurance. And that's the most 2614 02:31:28.520 --> 02:31:31.200 effective way to deal with the cost of insurance, because 2615 02:31:31.520 --> 02:31:33.760 if you can't make me buy what you're selling, then 2616 02:31:33.760 --> 02:31:36.440 you can't force me to pay an exordinate price. It's 2617 02:31:36.440 --> 02:31:38.920 such a simple thing, and people have lost sight of 2618 02:31:38.959 --> 02:31:41.159 that fundamental elemental truth. 2619 02:31:41.440 --> 02:31:44.120 Yeah, that's absolutely right. Well, let's talk a little bit 2620 02:31:44.159 --> 02:31:46.520 about the good old day. I like this when you 2621 02:31:46.559 --> 02:31:51.200 do this at ep autos erpeters autos dot com. Some 2622 02:31:51.360 --> 02:31:55.840 things that you can't do in a new car. We 2623 02:31:55.920 --> 02:31:58.159 begin you want to pick Yeah, sure, well, I like 2624 02:31:58.200 --> 02:32:00.399 the way you introduced that. He's just like, you can't 2625 02:32:00.399 --> 02:32:03.840 board a commercial airplane anymore without first being subjected to 2626 02:32:03.840 --> 02:32:07.120 some sort of obedience training that you used to have 2627 02:32:07.200 --> 02:32:10.159 to break a law and get arrested before this kind 2628 02:32:10.159 --> 02:32:11.120 of stuff happened to you. 2629 02:32:12.399 --> 02:32:13.920 By the way, the reason I put that in there 2630 02:32:13.920 --> 02:32:16.239 and I italicized it to emphasize it, and then later 2631 02:32:16.280 --> 02:32:18.719 on in the article I explained why I did that, 2632 02:32:19.159 --> 02:32:21.440 And I think it's a really important thing because it's 2633 02:32:21.479 --> 02:32:24.879 such a revelatory thing about the truth about what's going on. 2634 02:32:25.440 --> 02:32:27.719 If you fly privately, you don't have to go through 2635 02:32:27.719 --> 02:32:32.479 obedience training. Yeah, so it's only for the human cattle, 2636 02:32:32.760 --> 02:32:36.360 the bipedal cattle that go to the airport to fly commercially, 2637 02:32:36.639 --> 02:32:39.120 they're subjected to this. Insensibly, they're told, well, you got 2638 02:32:39.120 --> 02:32:41.520 to do this because that's how we prevent the terrorists 2639 02:32:41.520 --> 02:32:44.200 from getting an airplane and crashing it into a building. 2640 02:32:44.520 --> 02:32:46.840 Yet somehow these same terrifts are too poor to charter 2641 02:32:46.879 --> 02:32:49.239 an airplane if they wanted to. You know, it's just again, 2642 02:32:49.280 --> 02:32:51.479 it's just a way to give the lie to what 2643 02:32:51.520 --> 02:32:54.120 they're telling us, just the same as they tell us 2644 02:32:54.159 --> 02:32:57.840 that it's imperative that everybody drive an electric car because 2645 02:32:57.840 --> 02:33:01.000 there's this existential threat of climate change, and yet we're 2646 02:33:01.040 --> 02:33:03.479 not allowed to have the sub ten thousand dollars evs 2647 02:33:03.520 --> 02:33:05.799 that are really available all over the rest of the world, 2648 02:33:05.840 --> 02:33:09.239 which actually would be good for first time people, older 2649 02:33:09.280 --> 02:33:11.319 people who just need a basic little A to B 2650 02:33:11.559 --> 02:33:14.159 kind of a car. Why can't they have that? Oh yeah, instead, 2651 02:33:14.200 --> 02:33:18.479 really can have a forty thousand dollars high performance electric cars. Well, 2652 02:33:18.479 --> 02:33:20.760 if there's an existential threat, it isn't a high performance 2653 02:33:21.319 --> 02:33:23.760 and all of that kind of superfluous. It just again 2654 02:33:24.360 --> 02:33:28.920 it shows the disingenuousness and the maliciousness behind these people. 2655 02:33:28.959 --> 02:33:31.200 Oh yeah, Now to get back, I'm sorry I drifted about. 2656 02:33:31.319 --> 02:33:33.479 Well, no, I mean I've talked about My audience has 2657 02:33:33.520 --> 02:33:36.159 heard it many times. I've probably never told you Eric. 2658 02:33:36.319 --> 02:33:39.280 You know, we came across there was a laws suit 2659 02:33:39.280 --> 02:33:41.799 when they rolled out these body scanners and did the 2660 02:33:41.840 --> 02:33:44.000 pat downs and body scanning, and so there was a 2661 02:33:44.000 --> 02:33:49.520 pushback in Texas at the time, and a state representative 2662 02:33:49.520 --> 02:33:52.239 there got it unanimously passed in Texas that they weren't 2663 02:33:52.239 --> 02:33:53.760 going to allow that kind of stuff to happen. And 2664 02:33:53.799 --> 02:33:55.239 so then they came back and said, well, if you 2665 02:33:55.280 --> 02:33:56.799 don't allow that, we're going to make Texas a no 2666 02:33:56.920 --> 02:34:00.600 fly zone. And so the lieutenant governor who was head 2667 02:34:00.639 --> 02:34:03.399 of the Senate, he was a former CIA guy who 2668 02:34:03.440 --> 02:34:06.239 they set up in the oil business and became a multimillionaire, 2669 02:34:06.399 --> 02:34:08.239 and he bought his office. He paid more for his 2670 02:34:08.280 --> 02:34:10.639 office than anybody had ever paid to get elected the 2671 02:34:10.639 --> 02:34:13.360 state office in Texas. He stopped it in the Senate. 2672 02:34:13.600 --> 02:34:16.079 They went through that exercise twice. Well, while all that 2673 02:34:16.239 --> 02:34:19.040 was going on, there was a lawsuit that came a 2674 02:34:19.079 --> 02:34:23.200 couple of years later from an engineer who came after them, 2675 02:34:23.200 --> 02:34:27.000 and during discovery he got them to show some documents. Now, 2676 02:34:27.239 --> 02:34:29.840 when they posted this up on the government website where 2677 02:34:29.840 --> 02:34:34.000 they show the lawsuits, pacer dot gov, they accidentally put 2678 02:34:34.079 --> 02:34:37.280 up for a couple of hours the unredacted lawsuit. And 2679 02:34:37.280 --> 02:34:39.120 then they caught their mistake and they put up the 2680 02:34:39.200 --> 02:34:41.959 redacted lawsuit so we could see what they didn't want 2681 02:34:42.040 --> 02:34:43.760 us to see. And what they didn't want us to 2682 02:34:43.799 --> 02:34:46.520 see was at the same time all this fight was 2683 02:34:46.559 --> 02:34:51.000 going on in Texas, they said, the TSA said in 2684 02:34:51.040 --> 02:34:54.760 their internal documents, there is no threat to airports or airplanes. 2685 02:34:56.120 --> 02:34:57.920 They know it, We know it. They know it. We 2686 02:34:58.000 --> 02:35:00.040 all play along with this game. It's like George for 2687 02:35:00.079 --> 02:35:00.680 a well time. 2688 02:35:02.440 --> 02:35:05.360 See, Yeah, I mean the only outside of this once 2689 02:35:05.399 --> 02:35:07.840 you realize it, is that the scales fall from your 2690 02:35:07.840 --> 02:35:10.159 eyes and you understand what you're dealing with, and that 2691 02:35:10.760 --> 02:35:13.319 if anything is positive about what's occurred over the last 2692 02:35:13.399 --> 02:35:16.120 five years in particular, it's that I think that the 2693 02:35:16.239 --> 02:35:18.479 naive trust that a lot of people have had in 2694 02:35:18.559 --> 02:35:22.920 the institutions has been shaken profoundly, and these people no 2695 02:35:22.959 --> 02:35:26.680 longer just implicitly trust what they're told. And that's healthy 2696 02:35:26.719 --> 02:35:29.159 and we may actually manage to pull ourselves out of 2697 02:35:29.200 --> 02:35:32.159 that if enough people begin to take that point of view. 2698 02:35:32.360 --> 02:35:34.760 Yeah. Actually, earlier in the show, when I talked about 2699 02:35:34.760 --> 02:35:37.600 what was happening North Carolina and in Tennessee, there was 2700 02:35:37.639 --> 02:35:44.840 a North Carolina legislator realtor who said, this is what's happening, folks, 2701 02:35:44.840 --> 02:35:48.840 and there's a lot of looting that's happening. And sheriff's 2702 02:35:49.280 --> 02:35:51.600 officer told me that you need to have your gun 2703 02:35:51.760 --> 02:35:53.799 keep the safety off because he says, really dangerous. And 2704 02:35:53.799 --> 02:35:55.639 she said, yeah, people are getting desperate. But she was 2705 02:35:55.639 --> 02:35:57.479 talking about how people needed help, and she said, you 2706 02:35:57.479 --> 02:36:00.000 can't trust any of these institutions. She certainly can't try 2707 02:36:00.120 --> 02:36:03.399 us the government to help you, and you can't trust 2708 02:36:03.399 --> 02:36:05.920 most of these charitable institutions. So find somebody who's actually 2709 02:36:05.959 --> 02:36:08.319 going to distribute this locally, you know, find churches or 2710 02:36:08.360 --> 02:36:10.399 other things like that, and give them your money, because 2711 02:36:10.440 --> 02:36:13.200 nobody trusts the institutions more for a very good reason. 2712 02:36:13.239 --> 02:36:15.479 But the good part of it is that many people 2713 02:36:15.520 --> 02:36:19.319 have awakened to this, and so there is some hope 2714 02:36:19.360 --> 02:36:21.399 in all of that. But let's talk about some of 2715 02:36:21.440 --> 02:36:23.559 the things that you can't do in a car. And 2716 02:36:23.920 --> 02:36:25.879 you mentioned not being able to spend the tires. 2717 02:36:27.079 --> 02:36:30.559 Yeah, because all cars now have track and control and 2718 02:36:30.600 --> 02:36:33.639 you can't lock up the tires anymore either because of ABS. 2719 02:36:33.799 --> 02:36:37.319 And paradoxically interestingly to me, because it's about it's kind 2720 02:36:37.360 --> 02:36:40.799 of a demonstration cases point of the law of unintended consequences. 2721 02:36:41.079 --> 02:36:43.920 ABS has been with us now for what thirty something 2722 02:36:44.000 --> 02:36:47.680 forty years even, and tailgating is now worse than ever. 2723 02:36:48.000 --> 02:36:50.719 And I think that there's a direct relationship between the 2724 02:36:50.799 --> 02:36:54.559 ubiquity of anti lock breaks and tailgating because people now 2725 02:36:54.639 --> 02:36:58.360 feel confident that they can tailgate because oh, I've got ABS, 2726 02:36:58.479 --> 02:37:00.479 so I'm not going to lose control my car. It's 2727 02:37:00.520 --> 02:37:02.559 not going to go into a skid and run right 2728 02:37:02.559 --> 02:37:05.000 into the car ahead of me. So you know, in 2729 02:37:05.000 --> 02:37:06.600 the past, when a car didn't have ABS, and you 2730 02:37:06.639 --> 02:37:08.879 and I learned to drive on cars that didn't have ABS, 2731 02:37:09.280 --> 02:37:12.680 it was out of pure self interest intelligent to maintain 2732 02:37:12.719 --> 02:37:15.879 an adequate following distance between your car and the vehicle 2733 02:37:15.879 --> 02:37:17.639 ahead of you, because you knew if you didn't, you 2734 02:37:17.680 --> 02:37:19.159 were not going to be able to stop the car 2735 02:37:19.159 --> 02:37:22.760 in time. Probably now people have this point of view that, well, 2736 02:37:22.760 --> 02:37:24.920 the car is going to keep me safe, and so 2737 02:37:25.120 --> 02:37:28.319 in fact, fatalities are going up, ironically, even though we 2738 02:37:28.399 --> 02:37:31.200 have all of this safety technology that's being embedded in 2739 02:37:31.200 --> 02:37:31.920 all the vehicles. 2740 02:37:32.040 --> 02:37:34.440 That's right. Yeah, people see that and then they say, well, 2741 02:37:34.760 --> 02:37:36.120 you know, I can slack off in this. 2742 02:37:36.239 --> 02:37:36.479 Yeah. 2743 02:37:36.840 --> 02:37:41.760 I grew up spending the tires. I was a sixteen 2744 02:37:41.799 --> 02:37:44.719 year old with a couple of buddies in high school 2745 02:37:44.719 --> 02:37:46.600 and they used to egg me on to spend the 2746 02:37:46.600 --> 02:37:50.840 tires and Mustang all the time. So I went another too. 2747 02:37:51.360 --> 02:37:53.799 If you grow up with those kinds of vehicles, you 2748 02:37:53.879 --> 02:37:56.959 really do learn about vehicle dynamics and how to control 2749 02:37:57.000 --> 02:38:01.200 a car, whereas now they're so anesthetized new cars. You know, 2750 02:38:01.239 --> 02:38:04.479 they're deceptive in a way because they feel so very controllable, 2751 02:38:04.520 --> 02:38:06.680 and they are. But the problem with that is that 2752 02:38:06.760 --> 02:38:09.120 they tend to encourage people who don't have the skills 2753 02:38:09.280 --> 02:38:11.440 to push the limit in the car. So now they're 2754 02:38:11.479 --> 02:38:14.079 driving it considerably faster and maybe more aggressively in a 2755 02:38:14.159 --> 02:38:16.719 corner when they don't really have the skills to deal 2756 02:38:16.760 --> 02:38:18.360 with it. If they get to the point in the 2757 02:38:18.399 --> 02:38:20.799 car where the safety systems are not going to be 2758 02:38:20.799 --> 02:38:23.360 a sufficient safety net to get them out of trouble 2759 02:38:23.479 --> 02:38:24.600 if it happens. 2760 02:38:24.319 --> 02:38:28.239 That's right. Yeah, yeah, I went to limit and beyond 2761 02:38:28.399 --> 02:38:28.879 many times. 2762 02:38:29.840 --> 02:38:30.799 YEA, sure, me too. 2763 02:38:30.959 --> 02:38:33.559 I had my guardian, Angel was working overtime. I'm't there. 2764 02:38:33.639 --> 02:38:34.799 He's going to have to sit down and talk to 2765 02:38:34.799 --> 02:38:38.680 me about that at some point in time. But I 2766 02:38:38.680 --> 02:38:41.440 had a lot of experiences with my buddies in high school. 2767 02:38:41.600 --> 02:38:44.280 We did all kinds of crazy stuff. And you can't 2768 02:38:44.319 --> 02:38:46.959 do Jay turns anymore. They can't do Rockford's right. 2769 02:38:47.879 --> 02:38:49.399 This is all in art back now that you can 2770 02:38:49.440 --> 02:38:51.520 watch on retro TV. But there's some of the more 2771 02:38:51.600 --> 02:38:53.559 prosaic things that you can't do anymore that I feel 2772 02:38:53.600 --> 02:38:56.159 like we've been kind of jypped in a way from 2773 02:38:56.399 --> 02:38:57.920 you know, in the past. To give you an example, 2774 02:38:57.920 --> 02:38:59.719 because you know, I'm a Firebird guy and I've been 2775 02:38:59.760 --> 02:39:01.840 into these cars for a long time. I have a 2776 02:39:01.879 --> 02:39:04.959 trans Am. But let's say that I hadn't been able 2777 02:39:04.959 --> 02:39:06.680 to afford to get a transam and I just got 2778 02:39:06.680 --> 02:39:09.399 the base Firebird. Well, I could always go to a 2779 02:39:09.479 --> 02:39:12.280 junk yard and I could get the neat formula steering 2780 02:39:12.280 --> 02:39:14.600 wheel from a junk trans am, and I could get 2781 02:39:14.600 --> 02:39:16.559 the upgraded seats from that car if I wanted to, 2782 02:39:16.600 --> 02:39:19.360 and I could just literally physically unbolt them from one 2783 02:39:19.399 --> 02:39:22.360 car and bolt them into the other car. You can't 2784 02:39:22.360 --> 02:39:25.680 do that anymore. These cars are now an integrated package 2785 02:39:25.719 --> 02:39:28.879 of components that are all tied into to one another. 2786 02:39:29.200 --> 02:39:31.440 So basically, whatever you bought when you bought the car, 2787 02:39:31.719 --> 02:39:34.280 that's it. There's very little that you can do at 2788 02:39:34.319 --> 02:39:36.760 all in terms of altering the car once you bought it. 2789 02:39:36.959 --> 02:39:39.959 Yeah, well that's true. Yeah, although I did you know, 2790 02:39:40.040 --> 02:39:41.879 that's one of the nice things I like about Amiata. 2791 02:39:41.959 --> 02:39:45.680 There's a big aftermarket for it, a parts and everything, 2792 02:39:45.719 --> 02:39:48.959 maybe more so than anything else. And so you know, 2793 02:39:49.079 --> 02:39:51.360 all these things you're talking about steering wheel made me 2794 02:39:51.360 --> 02:39:54.000 think I swapped out my steering wheel. I had to 2795 02:39:54.200 --> 02:39:56.559 get rid of the of the air bag. 2796 02:39:56.600 --> 02:39:57.079 But there are. 2797 02:39:56.959 --> 02:39:59.040 Places that you can find out how to do that. 2798 02:40:00.120 --> 02:40:00.840 It can be done, but. 2799 02:40:02.319 --> 02:40:03.399 Harder exactly. 2800 02:40:03.840 --> 02:40:06.200 Now, I think pretty much every new car now has 2801 02:40:06.319 --> 02:40:10.120 earbags embedded in the seat. And now, of course, because 2802 02:40:10.200 --> 02:40:13.879 of that, the seat is now part of the safety system, 2803 02:40:14.200 --> 02:40:16.840 and it's all wired in and plugged in, and if 2804 02:40:16.879 --> 02:40:18.760 you meddle with any of that, you're going to end 2805 02:40:18.799 --> 02:40:20.840 up causing yourself all kinds of problems. It's just not 2806 02:40:20.879 --> 02:40:22.000 worth even trying to do it. 2807 02:40:22.159 --> 02:40:24.840 Oh yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah. In my particular case, 2808 02:40:25.040 --> 02:40:27.520 it was because I wanted to go to want to 2809 02:40:27.559 --> 02:40:30.719 go to a smaller diameter wheel because I just like 2810 02:40:30.840 --> 02:40:32.239 that better, you know, I thought the other one was 2811 02:40:32.280 --> 02:40:34.600 a bit big, so I want a smaller diameter wheel. 2812 02:40:34.639 --> 02:40:39.000 But yeah, you can. It is increasingly more difficult. As 2813 02:40:39.040 --> 02:40:40.399 a matter of fact. You go back and you look 2814 02:40:40.440 --> 02:40:44.600 at the people who would put in big engines into Miana, 2815 02:40:44.639 --> 02:40:46.799 which I was never really interested in because it's just 2816 02:40:46.840 --> 02:40:49.280 not the character of the car, right. But they got 2817 02:40:49.399 --> 02:40:52.840 companies out in Colorado called Flying Miata and they would 2818 02:40:52.920 --> 02:40:57.000 cram in Corvette engines and the small miandas anything, those 2819 02:40:57.000 --> 02:40:59.440 things are crazy. But then you know, that creates all 2820 02:40:59.600 --> 02:41:01.280 the kinds of because now you got to put in 2821 02:41:01.319 --> 02:41:04.680 a transmission that doesn't shift as nicely as the Miata 2822 02:41:04.719 --> 02:41:07.000 thing did and stuff. But they did that with the 2823 02:41:07.000 --> 02:41:09.719 first and second generation. They were even able to do 2824 02:41:09.760 --> 02:41:12.000 it with a little bit more difficulty in the third generation. 2825 02:41:12.079 --> 02:41:14.479 But when they got to the fourth generation, it was 2826 02:41:14.520 --> 02:41:17.360 so computerized it took them a very long time to 2827 02:41:17.360 --> 02:41:19.559 get it, and they still had a lot of bugs 2828 02:41:19.559 --> 02:41:21.399 in it, and they had to hire people who were 2829 02:41:21.440 --> 02:41:24.920 computer experts to get around all of the computerized stuff. 2830 02:41:24.920 --> 02:41:28.120 So it is getting impossible to modify the cars. It 2831 02:41:28.120 --> 02:41:28.600 truly is. 2832 02:41:29.280 --> 02:41:31.280 Yeah, And getting back to the thing we were talking 2833 02:41:31.280 --> 02:41:34.959 about earlier with regard to insurance costs, a friend of 2834 02:41:34.959 --> 02:41:37.280 mine who lives down the road for me has a 2835 02:41:37.399 --> 02:41:40.840 late model suber Up and she digged the driver's side 2836 02:41:40.920 --> 02:41:42.799 door and you look at it and think, well, no 2837 02:41:42.920 --> 02:41:45.040 big deal, you know, just pull out that dent and 2838 02:41:45.600 --> 02:41:48.120 you know, and touch it up and good to go. 2839 02:41:48.360 --> 02:41:50.239 It turns out she got a couple of estimates from 2840 02:41:50.280 --> 02:41:52.559 various body shops and they wanted on the low end 2841 02:41:52.799 --> 02:41:57.079 twenty two hundred dollars. Yeah, and the reason why is 2842 02:41:57.120 --> 02:41:59.559 because they don't bother with trying to fix the doors anymore. 2843 02:41:59.559 --> 02:42:01.799 They just place on and you have to replace everything 2844 02:42:01.799 --> 02:42:05.000 because of the body control units, modules and all of 2845 02:42:05.000 --> 02:42:08.600 the electronics and everything. So again we pay for this. 2846 02:42:08.959 --> 02:42:10.920 You know, what used to be a minor impact at 2847 02:42:10.920 --> 02:42:13.040 a minor repair cost and a fender vender kind of 2848 02:42:13.079 --> 02:42:17.440 a situation now can intal thousands of dollars of damages 2849 02:42:17.479 --> 02:42:20.000 to the vehicle. And you know the insurance mafia knows that, 2850 02:42:20.440 --> 02:42:22.879 and so they're not going to pay you are I am? 2851 02:42:23.000 --> 02:42:24.559 Everybody else is going to pay for it? 2852 02:42:24.719 --> 02:42:28.559 Oh? Yeah, absolutely. You got an article up at EP 2853 02:42:28.719 --> 02:42:33.200 autos Eric Peters autos dot com. Clarkson is right talking 2854 02:42:33.200 --> 02:42:35.559 about Jeremy Clarkson tell us what he thought about it. 2855 02:42:35.559 --> 02:42:37.159 And of course I hate to see the fact that 2856 02:42:37.280 --> 02:42:39.959 you know, they don't do top gear anymore. I guess 2857 02:42:39.959 --> 02:42:43.360 it's completely dead now. They got into so much trouble 2858 02:42:43.399 --> 02:42:45.639 to the BBC and then finally they picked up my Amazon. 2859 02:42:45.799 --> 02:42:49.079 But you know, nobody wants to do anything about cars 2860 02:42:49.120 --> 02:42:51.959 ame or so he's got Clarkson's farm and now he's 2861 02:42:52.000 --> 02:42:54.799 opened up a pob and everything. But what did he do? Right? 2862 02:42:55.399 --> 02:42:57.239 Yeah, Well, Clarkson was one of the last of the 2863 02:42:57.280 --> 02:43:00.959 car guy journalists. You know. He was of a piece 2864 02:43:01.000 --> 02:43:03.159 with Brockades that, you know, a guy that I admired 2865 02:43:03.200 --> 02:43:05.040 when I was a kid kid and kind of got 2866 02:43:05.040 --> 02:43:06.959 me along the on the road to becoming a car 2867 02:43:07.040 --> 02:43:10.680 journalist myself. And they actually had some interest in cars 2868 02:43:10.719 --> 02:43:14.159 other than appliances and were interested in things besides how 2869 02:43:14.280 --> 02:43:18.360 safe and compliant they were with whatever their relates regulations are. 2870 02:43:18.399 --> 02:43:21.399 And he's become kind of cynical, which is understandable because 2871 02:43:21.440 --> 02:43:23.399 his career goes back thirty something years and he can 2872 02:43:23.440 --> 02:43:26.000 remember what we like to call the before times, you know, 2873 02:43:26.079 --> 02:43:28.959 when cars were actually interesting in fun. And he said, 2874 02:43:29.000 --> 02:43:31.000 and I hope it's okay to use a little profanity 2875 02:43:31.000 --> 02:43:34.239 in this context. He said, new cars are sah, you 2876 02:43:34.280 --> 02:43:37.319 know what. And the reason that he said that, I 2877 02:43:37.399 --> 02:43:39.319 kind of I took that and ran with it a 2878 02:43:39.319 --> 02:43:41.680 little bit. And I think what he meant was they 2879 02:43:41.719 --> 02:43:46.200 become so homogeneous, ironically in part because they used to 2880 02:43:46.239 --> 02:43:49.920 be sh whatever they had, the personality, they had quirks, 2881 02:43:50.280 --> 02:43:52.079 you know, sometimes you had to kick it or you 2882 02:43:52.120 --> 02:43:53.680 had to do some special thing to get it to 2883 02:43:53.760 --> 02:43:56.760 work right, or it had to be it had personality, 2884 02:43:57.159 --> 02:44:00.520 you know. Now they are literally appliances and toast And 2885 02:44:00.559 --> 02:44:03.600 now I understand that from the standpoint of you want 2886 02:44:03.600 --> 02:44:05.719 something reliable that gets you from A to B without 2887 02:44:05.719 --> 02:44:09.959 trouble and hassle, and that's important. But the emotional attachment 2888 02:44:10.040 --> 02:44:12.879 that we've had to our cars is being severed, and 2889 02:44:13.079 --> 02:44:15.440 people no longer care about cars. They view them as 2890 02:44:15.639 --> 02:44:19.159 just these disposable things, like a toaster. And that's insidious 2891 02:44:19.239 --> 02:44:24.360 because they are using that to disconnect people from personal mobility. 2892 02:44:24.680 --> 02:44:26.959 Why bother who needs one of these things. It's just 2893 02:44:27.000 --> 02:44:29.479 a hassle, it's just a big expense. I'll use my 2894 02:44:29.600 --> 02:44:32.639 app and I'll call up an uber or I'll get 2895 02:44:32.719 --> 02:44:35.200 my automated electric car to come pick me up. And 2896 02:44:35.239 --> 02:44:37.879 they don't understand that by doing that, what they are 2897 02:44:37.920 --> 02:44:41.920 doing is giving total control over their ability to go 2898 02:44:42.360 --> 02:44:44.200 anywhere they want to go, on their own time, their 2899 02:44:44.239 --> 02:44:46.680 own schedule, whenever they feel like it. They're giving that 2900 02:44:46.840 --> 02:44:49.840 up to these centralized control structures. 2901 02:44:49.959 --> 02:44:55.200 Oh yeah, oh absolutely yeah. As Ron Atkinson, another comedian, 2902 02:44:55.559 --> 02:44:58.000 Mister Bean said, you don't so much drive these new 2903 02:44:58.040 --> 02:45:01.920 cars as you manage them. And you know, he's got 2904 02:45:01.959 --> 02:45:05.319 really expensive cars because he's very, very wealthy. But yeah, 2905 02:45:05.360 --> 02:45:08.239 the cars become very Antidye as you're talking about that, 2906 02:45:08.440 --> 02:45:13.719 I'm thinking about the Spitfire that I had, and how 2907 02:45:14.159 --> 02:45:16.440 you know, top Gear used to be about doing car 2908 02:45:16.479 --> 02:45:18.120 reviews and things like that, and they would do a 2909 02:45:18.200 --> 02:45:20.239 lot of hyper cars and stuff and it's like, Okay, 2910 02:45:20.280 --> 02:45:23.319 that's kind of interesting, but not really. That's why I 2911 02:45:23.399 --> 02:45:25.440 like about the cars that you do. You actually do 2912 02:45:27.000 --> 02:45:30.879 reviews of real cars, but you know, they would have 2913 02:45:30.879 --> 02:45:32.680 some hyper car stuff anything. But then when they started 2914 02:45:32.680 --> 02:45:36.440 doing the Amazon series, it was all about adventure, right. 2915 02:45:36.479 --> 02:45:38.760 They would try to take the cars into some area 2916 02:45:38.799 --> 02:45:41.079 where they didn't really have roads or bridges or this 2917 02:45:41.159 --> 02:45:43.879 kind They've got to navigate through this jungle or through 2918 02:45:43.879 --> 02:45:47.840 the Arctic or whatever, and it became kind of an adventure, right, 2919 02:45:47.879 --> 02:45:50.600 and the car was there. They get old cars that 2920 02:45:50.680 --> 02:45:52.440 modify them and it was an adventure. And it made 2921 02:45:52.440 --> 02:45:55.159 me think, as I'm looking at your article here, made 2922 02:45:55.159 --> 02:45:58.600 me think about my life with my Triumph Spitfire, which 2923 02:45:58.879 --> 02:46:02.079 was not a nine at all. It was every trip 2924 02:46:02.200 --> 02:46:03.760 was an adventure. You didn't know if you're going to 2925 02:46:03.760 --> 02:46:04.440 complete it or not. 2926 02:46:05.600 --> 02:46:07.799 We all have stories, don't we. Now. I mentioned some 2927 02:46:07.879 --> 02:46:09.559 of them, some of them in the article. One of 2928 02:46:09.600 --> 02:46:12.319 my fondest memories was of my seventy four Beetle which 2929 02:46:12.399 --> 02:46:15.000 I used to commute into d C with when I 2930 02:46:15.040 --> 02:46:17.760 first started working in DC at the Washington Times, before 2931 02:46:17.760 --> 02:46:20.040 I started getting new cars to test drive, and every 2932 02:46:20.120 --> 02:46:22.959 drive was an adventure, particularly in the winter time. I 2933 02:46:23.040 --> 02:46:25.440 used to keep an old Exxon gas card in the 2934 02:46:25.479 --> 02:46:27.799 glove box because when it was cold out, you'd get 2935 02:46:27.840 --> 02:46:30.559 frost on the windshield, and so I'd use the car 2936 02:46:30.719 --> 02:46:32.959 to scrape a little hole so I could put portal 2937 02:46:33.040 --> 02:46:35.040 so I could see. And then in the summertime, when 2938 02:46:35.079 --> 02:46:37.399 it got hot, you know, the humidity would result in 2939 02:46:37.479 --> 02:46:40.520 essentially the same thing, except it was still moist, not frozen. 2940 02:46:40.520 --> 02:46:42.799 So I had a rag that I would use, you know, 2941 02:46:43.040 --> 02:46:45.479 to do that. And it's looking back on that, it's 2942 02:46:45.479 --> 02:46:47.399 fun and it makes me smile, and you're smiling. And 2943 02:46:47.440 --> 02:46:49.879 we have these these stories of these cars that we 2944 02:46:50.000 --> 02:46:52.520 remember affectionately, you know, from thirty years ago. 2945 02:46:52.680 --> 02:46:54.079 Oh yeah, who remembers. 2946 02:46:53.680 --> 02:46:56.360 Whatever appliance they drove five years But nobody cares. 2947 02:46:56.440 --> 02:47:00.479 Yeah, oh, exactly. Yeah, you know, again, it was one 2948 02:47:00.520 --> 02:47:02.120 of these things. You know, it was both a love 2949 02:47:02.159 --> 02:47:05.040 and hate relationship that I had with a spitfire. It's like, 2950 02:47:05.079 --> 02:47:08.600 I imagine if you had, you know, a girlfriend that 2951 02:47:08.639 --> 02:47:11.319 you're like, but she's constantly creating problems. I never had 2952 02:47:11.319 --> 02:47:14.559 that problem Karen's doing the board. Never had a girlfriend 2953 02:47:14.600 --> 02:47:16.120 like that, but I didn't have a car like that. 2954 02:47:16.639 --> 02:47:19.639 And you know, so he loved it and you hated it. 2955 02:47:19.639 --> 02:47:22.559 It was a raw experiences in Florida, and so you know, 2956 02:47:22.639 --> 02:47:25.079 it's hot and humid, and then it would rain in 2957 02:47:25.079 --> 02:47:26.680 the afternoons, and when it rain, you just had the 2958 02:47:26.840 --> 02:47:28.760 single thickness of a roof there. So it was like 2959 02:47:28.799 --> 02:47:31.399 you were in a tent and it's leaking in through 2960 02:47:31.399 --> 02:47:32.840 the windows and all the rest of the stuff, and 2961 02:47:32.840 --> 02:47:35.239 you're driving down the road and everything is shaking. But 2962 02:47:35.280 --> 02:47:37.639 it was a blast, you know, it really was a blast. 2963 02:47:37.680 --> 02:47:40.799 And so it's also empowering. Yeah, it was empowering and 2964 02:47:40.799 --> 02:47:42.559 a way, this is something I think that's important to 2965 02:47:42.559 --> 02:47:45.319 convey to young people who don't have any direct experience 2966 02:47:45.399 --> 02:47:45.639 with this. 2967 02:47:46.159 --> 02:47:47.760 Yeah it broke down, but you know what, you could 2968 02:47:47.840 --> 02:47:52.840 usually fix it with these these modern computer controlled devices, 2969 02:47:53.000 --> 02:47:55.680 essentially cell phones. They're fine until they stop working, and 2970 02:47:55.719 --> 02:47:58.760 once they stop working, that's it. You know, you just 2971 02:47:58.840 --> 02:48:01.239 you helplessly stand there by the side of the road 2972 02:48:01.239 --> 02:48:03.559 waiting for the toad truck. That's kind of a masculating, 2973 02:48:03.680 --> 02:48:06.159 you know, in a very real way. It was great 2974 02:48:06.200 --> 02:48:07.959 to be able to deal with the problem by the 2975 02:48:08.000 --> 02:48:09.280 side of the road. You know, you had to band 2976 02:48:09.280 --> 02:48:11.760 aid it with whatever literally duct tape, the young wire 2977 02:48:11.799 --> 02:48:13.680 or whatever, but you got the thing back on the road, 2978 02:48:13.719 --> 02:48:16.440 and that made you feel really good. Particularly when you're young. 2979 02:48:16.520 --> 02:48:18.079 You're like, wow, I can you know, I can deal 2980 02:48:18.079 --> 02:48:20.840 with this. I can handle a problem myself, as opposed 2981 02:48:20.840 --> 02:48:22.520 to having to pick up the phone and call somebody 2982 02:48:22.559 --> 02:48:23.239 who can help me. 2983 02:48:23.440 --> 02:48:25.959 Yeah, oh yeah yeah. And with that car, you know, 2984 02:48:26.000 --> 02:48:28.479 the spidfire, the whole front half of the car was 2985 02:48:28.520 --> 02:48:31.479 one piece, so you'd lift up the front, which was 2986 02:48:31.760 --> 02:48:34.000 both fenders as well as the hood and everything, and 2987 02:48:34.000 --> 02:48:36.520 you can step inside the chassis and work on the engine. 2988 02:48:36.559 --> 02:48:38.719 You know, I mean it's just right there. It's this little, 2989 02:48:38.799 --> 02:48:42.040 tiny engine, and there was plenty of room to stand 2990 02:48:42.120 --> 02:48:44.159 inside the engine bay with the engine. 2991 02:48:45.000 --> 02:48:46.879 You know. That reminds you another thing I talked about 2992 02:48:46.920 --> 02:48:48.680 in that article about what you can't do anymore is 2993 02:48:48.680 --> 02:48:51.360 see the engine. Yeah, because you know, the manufacturers are 2994 02:48:51.360 --> 02:48:54.559 almost all you know. They put these black plastic they 2995 02:48:54.639 --> 02:48:58.520 call them acoustic or sound deadening covers on top of 2996 02:48:58.520 --> 02:49:01.319 the engine, which has the effect of making all the 2997 02:49:01.399 --> 02:49:04.159 engines look exactly the same. There was a time when 2998 02:49:04.200 --> 02:49:06.319 your new car dealers would probably pop the hoods of 2999 02:49:06.360 --> 02:49:09.079 their new vehicles, and that way people who are interested 3000 02:49:09.079 --> 02:49:11.040 in the park could go in marvel you know what 3001 02:49:11.079 --> 02:49:12.920 was under the hood. Look at that. Wow, that's neat. 3002 02:49:13.120 --> 02:49:14.799 I love to pop the hood of old cars like 3003 02:49:14.840 --> 02:49:16.879 my trans end, because it's just neat to look at 3004 02:49:16.879 --> 02:49:19.040 the engine. You know, they made it interesting to look 3005 02:49:19.040 --> 02:49:20.799 at it. Now they all look the same, and whether 3006 02:49:20.879 --> 02:49:25.120 it's delivered or not, I feel as though it serves 3007 02:49:25.120 --> 02:49:29.879 the purpose of fading any distinction that's meaningful between cars 3008 02:49:29.879 --> 02:49:33.120 with engines and electric cars. Pop the hood versus piece 3009 02:49:33.159 --> 02:49:35.600 of black plastic. Who cares it all looks the same. 3010 02:49:36.079 --> 02:49:39.079 It's all sled up. You don't see anything. I've got 3011 02:49:39.079 --> 02:49:41.319 a couple of comments here. One of them is from 3012 02:49:41.360 --> 02:49:44.319 Seth Landergan. Thank you for the tip, Seth. Appreciate you, 3013 02:49:44.319 --> 02:49:46.840 says Eric Peter is one of my favorite night show guests. 3014 02:49:46.920 --> 02:49:49.840 Great job as always, David and Grew Yeah, one of 3015 02:49:49.879 --> 02:49:52.600 my favorite guests as well. We've been talking for many years. 3016 02:49:52.639 --> 02:49:56.239 I love talking to Eric. And this is also from 3017 02:49:56.319 --> 02:49:58.760 Jason Barker. The one time I trusted abs and kept 3018 02:49:58.760 --> 02:50:01.079 my foot on the brakes, I said, halfway down the 3019 02:50:01.159 --> 02:50:06.680 road with zero control. Coomas says, air bags in the 3020 02:50:06.719 --> 02:50:10.879 seat like a Russian videos and launch their friends fifty 3021 02:50:10.920 --> 02:50:12.120 feet in the air. Yeah, that's right. 3022 02:50:12.600 --> 02:50:15.239 I've seen that video, and that brings up another point 3023 02:50:15.239 --> 02:50:17.239 if I might want a quick little rant about how 3024 02:50:17.239 --> 02:50:20.719 the cost benefit and risk reward equation has been taken 3025 02:50:20.760 --> 02:50:23.559 away from us. You know, people will say, but airbags 3026 02:50:23.600 --> 02:50:26.159 save lives. That's true, but they can also hurt and 3027 02:50:26.200 --> 02:50:29.000 even kill you, And you don't have the choice. And 3028 02:50:29.040 --> 02:50:32.079 it doesn't matter whether somebody else as well. It's more 3029 02:50:32.200 --> 02:50:34.120 likely that it will help you rather than hurt you. 3030 02:50:34.280 --> 02:50:36.840 So what, it's not their business, it's not their right 3031 02:50:37.200 --> 02:50:39.840 to take that choice away from you. You have the 3032 02:50:39.920 --> 02:50:43.719 right as an empowered adult to make those decisions for yourself. 3033 02:50:44.040 --> 02:50:45.799 But they want to treat us as if we were 3034 02:50:45.840 --> 02:50:48.799 idiot children in perpetuity at least. You know, parents in 3035 02:50:48.840 --> 02:50:51.920 the normal sense, the goal is to raise their children 3036 02:50:51.959 --> 02:50:55.399 to become empowered adults, whereas with these people in government 3037 02:50:55.399 --> 02:50:57.559 who want to parent us, the goal is to keep 3038 02:50:57.639 --> 02:51:00.399 us in a state of childlike idiotcy forever. 3039 02:51:00.680 --> 02:51:03.319 That's right. They treat adults like children, and they treat 3040 02:51:03.399 --> 02:51:06.159 children like adults now in the schools. But you know, 3041 02:51:06.639 --> 02:51:09.120 you talk about airbags. When they first came out, Remember 3042 02:51:09.360 --> 02:51:11.799 they had set these things up and tweaked them for 3043 02:51:13.000 --> 02:51:17.760 a typical men, right, and it was injuring women and 3044 02:51:17.840 --> 02:51:21.040 killing children. And then and remember the fight about can't 3045 02:51:21.079 --> 02:51:23.399 I just have the ability to turn this thing off? No, 3046 02:51:23.440 --> 02:51:24.840 you can't turn it off. Not gonna let you try. 3047 02:51:25.000 --> 02:51:26.520 That was the most amazing thing to me. 3048 02:51:28.079 --> 02:51:30.399 Now, and we've had this, we've had this admitted. The 3049 02:51:30.440 --> 02:51:34.840 government acknowledges, you know, the massive tobacca with the Takata airbags, 3050 02:51:34.879 --> 02:51:38.159 which affects millions of vehicles. Yeah, they will not even 3051 02:51:38.200 --> 02:51:40.799 allow people who had the misfortunate to buy one of 3052 02:51:40.840 --> 02:51:43.200 these things and have that thing steering at them in 3053 02:51:43.239 --> 02:51:47.280 the face to temporarily have the thing turned off until 3054 02:51:47.319 --> 02:51:50.200 the dealers can clear the backlog of people who were 3055 02:51:50.200 --> 02:51:53.920 waiting to get the you know, the replacement airbags. They 3056 02:51:53.959 --> 02:51:56.440 just it tells you again what they really care about 3057 02:51:56.520 --> 02:51:59.360 isn't your safety, It's about their authority and their control. 3058 02:51:59.479 --> 02:52:02.680 Yes, that's absolutely right. And I talked about that early 3059 02:52:02.719 --> 02:52:04.639 in the program. A helicopter pile trying to go in 3060 02:52:04.719 --> 02:52:07.040 and help people, and when he landed, he had this 3061 02:52:07.159 --> 02:52:09.600 little Barney Fife come up to him. You're gonna get 3062 02:52:09.680 --> 02:52:11.040 arrested if you go and do this again. You've got 3063 02:52:11.079 --> 02:52:12.680 to get out of here. And in all my authority, 3064 02:52:12.719 --> 02:52:14.639 he doesn't care about the people who can't get out. 3065 02:52:15.120 --> 02:52:17.559 There's no government helicopters taking them out. He's just going 3066 02:52:17.559 --> 02:52:19.040 to shut it down. You and I talked about the 3067 02:52:19.079 --> 02:52:21.520 Dakata airbags many many times. We talked about it in 3068 02:52:21.520 --> 02:52:26.559 the context of this nonsense about the Volkswagen emissions problems 3069 02:52:26.559 --> 02:52:28.680 and all the rest of this stuff, and said, look, 3070 02:52:28.799 --> 02:52:32.440 you know, they've killed sixteen people worldwide, and they have 3071 02:52:32.559 --> 02:52:34.920 these recalls of these things. If these things go off, 3072 02:52:34.959 --> 02:52:39.559 it's like getting shot in the chest with a shotgun 3073 02:52:39.639 --> 02:52:42.399 or something like that. And yet they're not doing the 3074 02:52:42.440 --> 02:52:45.040 same thing to Dakata that they did to Volkswagen. Because 3075 02:52:45.040 --> 02:52:48.040 with Volkswagen that was part of their agenda. They had 3076 02:52:48.079 --> 02:52:50.399 to shut everything down for their agenda, for their green 3077 02:52:50.440 --> 02:52:52.840 agenda that they're running through. Just amazing. 3078 02:52:53.120 --> 02:52:58.000 The contrasts between Volkswagens very high mileage, very high efficiency 3079 02:52:58.399 --> 02:53:01.440 diesel powered cars and the electric cars was something that 3080 02:53:01.479 --> 02:53:03.799 could not be abided. You know, you could as recently 3081 02:53:04.079 --> 02:53:07.520 as twenty but twenty fifteen, I think when you're still available, 3082 02:53:07.559 --> 02:53:09.879 you could buy a brand new jet up mid sized 3083 02:53:09.920 --> 02:53:12.120 sedan with a diesel engine that got fifty miles per 3084 02:53:12.200 --> 02:53:15.600 gallon twenty two thousand dollars. It kind of makes us 3085 02:53:15.639 --> 02:53:17.639 forty thousand dollars test that looks silly. 3086 02:53:17.840 --> 02:53:21.239 Yes, absolutely, By the way, Jason Barker, thank you for this, 3087 02:53:21.399 --> 02:53:24.559 And to remind everybody, so everybody's on Twitter, please go 3088 02:53:24.680 --> 02:53:28.719 find Eric and leave a comment on one of his posts. 3089 02:53:28.760 --> 02:53:31.440 He's being shadow banded there and we can break that 3090 02:53:31.719 --> 02:53:34.760 if we interact with his posts. And again, Jason, yes, 3091 02:53:35.760 --> 02:53:41.079 Twitter handle is a libertarian car guy. 3092 02:53:40.159 --> 02:53:42.159 Sound like a mobster And that's not intentional, it's just 3093 02:53:42.159 --> 02:53:44.479 they wouldn't they wouldn't let me have the additional characters 3094 02:53:44.479 --> 02:53:45.559 to say libertarian hard. 3095 02:53:46.920 --> 02:53:51.920 Let's talk about a friend who has passed Mike Valentine, 3096 02:53:52.840 --> 02:53:55.440 the Valentine radar detectors. And again this is something that 3097 02:53:55.440 --> 02:53:57.959 we're going to look back already probably on as we 3098 02:53:58.040 --> 02:54:00.680 got the insurance companies and the car company are snitching 3099 02:54:00.719 --> 02:54:04.559 on you, telling the insurance companies he's driving too fast. 3100 02:54:04.600 --> 02:54:06.719 On it's just amount of time before they start sending 3101 02:54:06.719 --> 02:54:09.280 that into the police and everything. But you know, for 3102 02:54:09.399 --> 02:54:12.079 the time being, the old Smoky in the Bandit gang 3103 02:54:12.120 --> 02:54:15.639 where you've got radar and radar detectors and this going 3104 02:54:15.680 --> 02:54:17.799 back and forth, he was a real pioneer and that 3105 02:54:17.959 --> 02:54:21.159 the Valentine radar detectors, and of course they're a sponsor 3106 02:54:21.200 --> 02:54:23.079 on your website to see them all the time. So 3107 02:54:23.079 --> 02:54:25.959 if somebody's going to get one of these excellent radar detectors, 3108 02:54:26.799 --> 02:54:31.680 click through at Eric petersautos dot com. That'll help Eric. 3109 02:54:31.719 --> 02:54:35.079 And it's a you know, but it's it's a great 3110 02:54:35.360 --> 02:54:38.040 radar detector. Tell us a little bit about your perspective. 3111 02:54:38.079 --> 02:54:42.559 Yeah, Mike, I know Mike personally. I first interviewed Mike 3112 02:54:42.920 --> 02:54:45.479 back in the nineties when I was working to Washington Times. 3113 02:54:45.719 --> 02:54:47.959 Really good guy and for those who are not aware 3114 02:54:47.959 --> 02:54:50.840 of Mike, he was the guy who developed one of 3115 02:54:50.879 --> 02:54:55.120 the first really effective multivan radarchitectors that detected all of 3116 02:54:55.120 --> 02:54:58.600 the various bands police radar. And more than just that, 3117 02:54:58.680 --> 02:55:04.920 he was very, very directly and enthusiastically involved against a 3118 02:55:05.040 --> 02:55:08.360 fight to repeal the federal fifty five mile an hour 3119 02:55:08.440 --> 02:55:11.239 speed limit, which people who are in their twenties today 3120 02:55:11.239 --> 02:55:14.639 won't remember. This was something that lasted for almost twenty years, 3121 02:55:14.680 --> 02:55:17.079 that I think was imposed in nineteen seventy four and 3122 02:55:17.120 --> 02:55:19.840 lasted through about ninety four, if I'm remembering my numbers correctly, 3123 02:55:20.319 --> 02:55:20.799 and we're. 3124 02:55:20.639 --> 02:55:22.200 Going to let me, let me say it would have 3125 02:55:22.200 --> 02:55:24.639 been to his advantage to cheer that on, because I 3126 02:55:24.639 --> 02:55:27.399 would have helped to sales. Right, you'd think, yeah. 3127 02:55:27.120 --> 02:55:28.920 But no, you know, he was again, he was just 3128 02:55:28.959 --> 02:55:31.440 a good guy, a regular American guy who thought it 3129 02:55:31.479 --> 02:55:36.399 was outrageous that the federal government would just arbitrarily declare 3130 02:55:36.520 --> 02:55:39.319 literally just like that, the highway speeds that have been 3131 02:55:39.319 --> 02:55:42.479 perfectly legal and presumably safe, you know, safe to drive 3132 02:55:42.520 --> 02:55:45.360 seventy miles an hour in nineteen seventy three, and all 3133 02:55:45.360 --> 02:55:47.920 of a sudden it is illegal speeding. You know, the 3134 02:55:48.000 --> 02:55:50.959 day after this thing gets gets changed, and you know, 3135 02:55:51.040 --> 02:55:54.840 he probably saved millions of Americans many millions of dollars. 3136 02:55:54.959 --> 02:55:58.000 I know he saved me many thousands of dollars in 3137 02:55:58.079 --> 02:56:01.120 extortionate fines, particularly when I'm a young guy, because the 3138 02:56:01.559 --> 02:56:04.520 ms NMS all the National maximum speeding that was still 3139 02:56:04.600 --> 02:56:06.280 enforced when I was in college. So I was doing 3140 02:56:06.319 --> 02:56:09.040 a lot of driving back then, and if I hadn't 3141 02:56:09.040 --> 02:56:12.200 had a radar sector, my driving rap sheet would have 3142 02:56:12.239 --> 02:56:13.440 been longer than a phone book. 3143 02:56:14.440 --> 02:56:16.879 And he had the best one. I mean, he had greatomic. 3144 02:56:17.440 --> 02:56:19.000 I think it was angled over to the side. Yeah, 3145 02:56:19.040 --> 02:56:20.799 he just came out with the second generation a couple 3146 02:56:20.840 --> 02:56:23.239 of years ago. I think I've still got the first generation. 3147 02:56:23.600 --> 02:56:27.799 I actually there's anybody who's got a Valentine detector. There 3148 02:56:27.879 --> 02:56:30.120 is a great app that's for free. It's a guy 3149 02:56:30.120 --> 02:56:33.879 from Raleigh, I think because in his examples all the 3150 02:56:34.159 --> 02:56:35.920 maps and everything are there in Raleigh. But it's an 3151 02:56:35.920 --> 02:56:39.319 app called JB V one as a Valentine one, but 3152 02:56:39.399 --> 02:56:42.600 it's JB as in John Boy, and he just does 3153 02:56:42.719 --> 02:56:47.680 an amazing job combining the functions of your phone in 3154 02:56:47.760 --> 02:56:51.520 terms of GPS location, other things like that, to h 3155 02:56:51.879 --> 02:56:55.879 and giving you control to mute it or to you know, 3156 02:56:56.280 --> 02:56:59.159 added a whole bunch of features to the old Valentine 3157 02:56:59.479 --> 02:57:03.040 Radar TIS that then got added in in the second generation. 3158 02:57:03.239 --> 02:57:05.920 But it's just a great app and it's out there 3159 02:57:05.920 --> 02:57:08.639 for free. This guy does it again because just a 3160 02:57:08.840 --> 02:57:10.559 kind of a passion. You know, it was a business 3161 02:57:10.559 --> 02:57:12.799 for Mike Valentine, but as you point out, he had 3162 02:57:12.799 --> 02:57:15.520 a passion to help people not get ticketed. Yeah, it 3163 02:57:15.559 --> 02:57:17.760 is a shame to see that that passing away, and 3164 02:57:17.799 --> 02:57:20.120 it's a shame to see the ability of us to 3165 02:57:20.159 --> 02:57:21.760 play smoking in the mandmit going away too. 3166 02:57:22.479 --> 02:57:22.760 I know. 3167 02:57:23.000 --> 02:57:25.760 Well, think about the V one detector too that people 3168 02:57:25.959 --> 02:57:28.520 should know about. There is now a lot of what 3169 02:57:28.639 --> 02:57:31.520 you might call electronic clutter on the road because almost 3170 02:57:31.559 --> 02:57:35.079 all new cars are actively emitting signals because they have 3171 02:57:35.719 --> 02:57:38.040 they have their own laser and radar systems built in 3172 02:57:38.120 --> 02:57:41.600 as part of the safety technology. So it can be 3173 02:57:42.079 --> 02:57:44.319 pointless to run one of the other detectors because they're 3174 02:57:44.319 --> 02:57:47.200 constantly going off because they're picking up these signals, and 3175 02:57:47.319 --> 02:57:49.159 you know, after a while, you just can't deal with 3176 02:57:49.200 --> 02:57:51.559 the thing beeping at you and flashing lights all the time. 3177 02:57:51.719 --> 02:57:56.360 The ladiest generation V one from Valentine has filtered out 3178 02:57:56.440 --> 02:57:58.959 that stuff. So now when you get an alert it 3179 02:57:59.040 --> 02:58:02.239 is a police for it's not some other car coming 3180 02:58:02.239 --> 02:58:05.760 at you that has some driver's safety technology that's causing 3181 02:58:05.760 --> 02:58:06.520 the thing to trigger. 3182 02:58:06.799 --> 02:58:08.520 Yeah, and that's really the key thing now, And that's 3183 02:58:08.559 --> 02:58:12.120 one of the things I like when I use the app, 3184 02:58:12.159 --> 02:58:15.440 the JB one when I've got I've got a convertible. 3185 02:58:15.440 --> 02:58:17.799 So where do I put my radar detector? Right? It's 3186 02:58:17.799 --> 02:58:19.760 like a big red flag. It's not illegal like it 3187 02:58:19.799 --> 02:58:21.559 is in Virginia where you live, but you know, it's 3188 02:58:21.600 --> 02:58:23.479 a big red flag for cops if they see it there. 3189 02:58:23.559 --> 02:58:26.440 So I do is I mounted it onto I stick 3190 02:58:26.479 --> 02:58:34.120 it on to a turbulence deflector that's behind me, and 3191 02:58:34.200 --> 02:58:36.440 I've got a section cup mount on it and my 3192 02:58:36.520 --> 02:58:39.639 son three D printed a black box so nobody can 3193 02:58:39.680 --> 02:58:43.959 see the display and everything gets sent to my phone, 3194 02:58:44.120 --> 02:58:45.719 which you know a lot of people have a phone 3195 02:58:45.719 --> 02:58:48.680 mounted so that they can get navigation. It's got a 3196 02:58:48.719 --> 02:58:50.600 map on it and all that kind of stuff. But 3197 02:58:50.639 --> 02:58:52.840 it also does that it does a good job of 3198 02:58:52.879 --> 02:58:56.079 remembering certain signals and muting those out. And that's really 3199 02:58:56.159 --> 02:58:59.520 where the rubber meets the road today, and radar detectors 3200 02:58:59.760 --> 02:59:02.840 is a way of false signals and you know, things 3201 02:59:02.879 --> 02:59:05.280 that belong to hondas and things like they're really bad 3202 02:59:05.280 --> 02:59:05.600 about that. 3203 02:59:06.120 --> 02:59:06.239 Uh. 3204 02:59:06.440 --> 02:59:09.360 But and also locations that you're going to drive by, 3205 02:59:09.399 --> 02:59:11.239 whether there's some kind of a burglar alarm, so it 3206 02:59:11.280 --> 02:59:15.159 remembers all that stuff and it shuts it down and uh, 3207 02:59:15.200 --> 02:59:17.959 and that really is now being incorporated into the second 3208 02:59:18.000 --> 02:59:21.879 generation of the radar detectors. It was always interesting to me. 3209 02:59:21.920 --> 02:59:24.920 It was like this, you know, measures and countermeasures and 3210 02:59:25.000 --> 02:59:27.120 counter countermeasures. It was always. 3211 02:59:26.760 --> 02:59:28.799 A five versus spider. Remember that old. 3212 02:59:29.200 --> 02:59:31.959 It's exactly what it was. But that's kind of the 3213 02:59:31.959 --> 02:59:33.799 world that we live in now. And it's now everything 3214 02:59:33.879 --> 02:59:34.760 is becoming like that. 3215 02:59:34.879 --> 02:59:36.840 You know, whether you're well, it's particularly important. 3216 02:59:36.879 --> 02:59:36.959 You know. 3217 02:59:37.000 --> 02:59:39.360 It was always a malting and ohway is an annoyance, 3218 02:59:39.399 --> 02:59:42.239 but now it has gotten to be outright extortionate. You know, 3219 02:59:42.280 --> 02:59:44.520 you get a simple speeding ticket and in many states 3220 02:59:44.520 --> 02:59:47.280 it's one hundred several hundred dollars fine, just a trivial 3221 02:59:47.280 --> 02:59:49.799 speeding ticket. But that's not the worst of it. The 3222 02:59:49.799 --> 02:59:51.360 worst of it will come a few months later when 3223 02:59:51.399 --> 02:59:55.360 you get your adjustment, uh, the insurance bot. Yeah, and 3224 02:59:55.399 --> 02:59:57.799 they'll continue to adjust you for the next three years 3225 02:59:57.840 --> 03:00:01.280 at least until that ticket finally drops off of your record. 3226 03:00:01.440 --> 03:00:02.760 So you know, people look at the cost of the 3227 03:00:02.799 --> 03:00:04.879 rear architecture. My god, it's five hundred bucks. I can't 3228 03:00:04.879 --> 03:00:07.159 afford to spend five hundred bucks. Yes you can. Yeah, 3229 03:00:07.719 --> 03:00:09.600 compare that to the cost of even one ticket. 3230 03:00:09.760 --> 03:00:11.799 That's right. I put in the same category two as 3231 03:00:12.040 --> 03:00:13.799 you know, having a camera there so you can tell 3232 03:00:13.840 --> 03:00:16.120 that you're not at fault in the accident. That type 3233 03:00:16.159 --> 03:00:19.520 of thing. Always great talking to you, Eric Peters, Eric 3234 03:00:19.520 --> 03:00:26.479 petersautos dot com.
