Speaker 1: In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act.
Speaker 2: It's the David Knight Show.
Speaker 3: As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Wednesday, the fourth of March.
Speaker 3: You're our lord, two thousand and twenty six. Well, we're
Speaker 3: going to take a look today at the obsession of
Speaker 3: government at every level to regulate and turn into a
Speaker 3: privilege or crime things that we do on an ordinary basis.
Speaker 3: And this is coming out of California. I know there's
Speaker 3: not a lot of Republicans in California. This is mostly
Speaker 3: a Democrat thing, but this went through both houses of
Speaker 3: the legislature unanimously. No one, not even a Republican anywhere,
Speaker 3: voted against this. And it shows us yet again how
Speaker 3: they're weaponizing just even ordinary computers, let alone artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3: There's a huge blowback now against open Ai and sam
Speaker 3: Altman because they will cross those red lines. They will
Speaker 3: do mass surveillance for the Pentagon, they will use autonomous
Speaker 3: killer robots, use their software for that, and people are
Speaker 3: pushing back against that. We're going to take a look
Speaker 3: at the lies of war. You know, the first casualty
Speaker 3: of truth, first casualty of war is truth. And we
Speaker 3: have an abundance of lies that are being fed out
Speaker 3: by both sides. We'll be right back with this. Well,
Speaker 3: let's begin with the hubrists, the boasting and the lies
Speaker 3: about war, and so let's start with Trump. Trump is
Speaker 3: saying the US has virtually unlimited supply of stockpiles of weapons.
Speaker 3: He's talking about these anti missile things.
Speaker 2: Folks.
Speaker 3: If you remember a few days before this all happened,
Speaker 3: I was telling you what the Chair of the Joint
Speaker 3: chiefs of staffs at General dan Kine, and it was
Speaker 3: put out by JD. Vance, put out also by Marco Rubio,
Speaker 3: both of them trying to either straddle the fence or
Speaker 3: pull back a little bit from some of the stuff
Speaker 3: because the political baggage that is going to haunt them
Speaker 3: and maybe a career ender for them as well. And
Speaker 3: what he was saying was that dan Kine was very
Speaker 3: clear about the fact that we were low on m
Speaker 3: O and allies is that we have used so many
Speaker 3: of these missiles for Israel and for Ukraine. You know,
Speaker 3: we don't have that many for ourselves, and it's going
Speaker 3: to be a real issue for this operation because they
Speaker 3: don't have that many. So then Trump comes out and
Speaker 3: says just the opposite, because he has no trouble lying
Speaker 3: to your face no matter how absurd the lie. Trump
Speaker 3: and his regime like people like warpete. They are perfectly
Speaker 3: up to the task of looking you right in the
Speaker 3: eye and telling you an absurd lie that everybody knows
Speaker 3: is not true. So Trump said yesterday that the US
Speaker 3: has virtually unlimited supply of weapons. Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3: The production rate they've said of the Iranian government in
Speaker 3: terms of these missiles is about one hundred a month,
Speaker 3: about one hundred a month. The production rate of the
Speaker 3: anti missiles is about three per month. That would be
Speaker 3: a pretty big problem right away if it was a
Speaker 3: one to one correspondence, but it's not so I said
Speaker 3: many times as well. When you look at these anti
Speaker 3: missile defense systems, it's very different than the usual defender
Speaker 3: attacker ratio. Usually the advantages with the defender, and you
Speaker 3: need to have superior forces and numbers as the attacker,
Speaker 3: see the other way around. When you are trying to
Speaker 3: shoot down these missiles. It generally takes two to three
Speaker 3: of these anti missile missiles to take down one of
Speaker 3: the missiles, so they would need to have production of
Speaker 3: two or three hundred of these things a month. Instead
Speaker 3: they've got six to seven. They're about anywhere from thirty
Speaker 3: three to forty three times less than what they actually need.
Speaker 3: They have to up their production thirty three to forty
Speaker 3: three times. But that doesn't stop Trump from looking at
Speaker 3: you and looking right at the camera and lying to
Speaker 3: your face, just like we had. Who's the guy that
Speaker 3: did the PCR test, Carrie Melo said about Anthony Fauci,
Speaker 3: because I think I'll look you right in the eye
Speaker 3: in the camera and he'll lie straight to the camera.
Speaker 3: So will Trump. I wonder why they ever wound up
Speaker 3: partnering you think anyway? He says our medium and upper
Speaker 3: medium grade have never been higher or better. He said,
Speaker 3: we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Our
Speaker 3: wars can be fought forever. Didn't he just tell us
Speaker 3: this wasn't going to be a forever war.
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 3: The Taco thing. Yeah, Trump is always changing orders. I say,
Speaker 3: not chickening out, but he's always changing orders. He's also
Speaker 3: always capricious and odious in what he says. That's what
Speaker 3: I think Taco stands for. And so Trump is bragging
Speaker 3: about the virtually unlimited supply of these weapons, and by
Speaker 3: the way, it's actually even worse perhaps than what we
Speaker 3: think in terms of the missiles that are being produced.
Speaker 3: It's hard to tell when you look at these videos
Speaker 3: of things out there, and I haven't shown very many
Speaker 3: of these, and you can kind of take most of
Speaker 3: them with a grain of salt. However, I've noticed that
Speaker 3: people are going in and you can see in the
Speaker 3: comment some people will debunk it and say, well, that's
Speaker 3: an old picture that was some place in Turkey that
Speaker 3: got bombed five years ago or something like that. Somebody
Speaker 3: has put that up and said this is Jerusalem today.
Speaker 3: And so you got some debugging that's going on with people,
Speaker 3: and some people are asking, hey, Groc, is this for real?
Speaker 3: And people are making fun of that. But actually Groc
Speaker 3: is pretty sharp in terms of being able to see
Speaker 3: some kind of a watermark that's there, or identifying some
Speaker 3: of the hallmarks of artificial intelligence. I got to say
Speaker 3: it's a lot better at spotting that stuff than I am.
Speaker 3: I hate to say that we want to turn over
Speaker 3: some decisions like that to it, so I just haven't
Speaker 3: used that stuff too much. But this purports to be
Speaker 3: an attack on Jerusalem that was widely published on X
Speaker 3: and I didn't see anybody making a case that this
Speaker 3: wasn't real. I saw a lot of people making the
Speaker 3: case that it was real. Groc made the case that
Speaker 3: it was real as well. Massive amount of missiles coming in,
Speaker 3: and the comments were that there appears to be some
Speaker 3: kind of an Iranian missile that has eighty sub missile clusters,
Speaker 3: and it's some kind of a subcluster, right, and so
Speaker 3: we multiply that out by eighty. That disadvantage that we
Speaker 3: have in terms of numerics that are there, worst can have
Speaker 3: you fought forever? Said Trump. We've noticed, as a matter
Speaker 3: of fact, he campaigned to promise that he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3: Now he's boasting that he can do that. And we're
Speaker 3: better than other countries. We have the finest arms, we
Speaker 3: have a good supply the end, but it's not where
Speaker 3: we want to be. And so then he blamed Biden
Speaker 3: for the stockpile not being where it should be. He said,
Speaker 3: Sleepy Joe, spend all this time and all of our
Speaker 3: country's money giving everything to P. T. Barnum Zelensky of Ukraine.
Speaker 3: And while he gave so much of the super high
Speaker 3: end stuff away for free, he didn't bother to replace it.
Speaker 3: He said, So the US has stocked and we're ready
Speaker 3: to win big was his conclusion. So we can't be defeated.
Speaker 3: But by the way, if we are, it'll be Biden's fault.
Speaker 3: You know that, right, And you know he does deserve
Speaker 3: to blame for a lot of this stuff. Well, Joe
Speaker 3: McGregor had this to say.
Speaker 4: And Russia are sitting on the sidelines monitoring everything. They're
Speaker 4: in close touch with the government. They're providing satellite intelligence,
Speaker 4: which accounts for some of the tremendous successes, particularly in Israel.
Speaker 4: On a US basis, all of our bases have been destroyed,
Speaker 4: our harbor installations are destroyed. We're actually having to fall
Speaker 4: back on India and Indian ports, which are less than ideal.
Speaker 2: That's what the Navy says.
Speaker 4: And I just I think Iran, much to our disappointment,
Speaker 4: is faring very very well well.
Speaker 3: And the other part of this is the genius plan
Speaker 3: that was introduced yesterday by Trump the United States government.
Speaker 3: That means you and I are going to ensure all
Speaker 3: the old tankers so they'll go through the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 3: How's that going to work out? I mean, they're burning
Speaker 3: all over the place. It's amazing, and these ships are
Speaker 3: afraid to go in there, so we're going to tell
Speaker 3: them we'll escort you, or will insure you, and all
Speaker 3: this stuff. To me, I look at it. I'm not
Speaker 3: a naval expert by far, but it seems to me
Speaker 3: like that increases the vulnerability for the naval ships that
Speaker 3: are doing the guarding as well. It puts them in
Speaker 3: a very difficult position because I don't know relative to
Speaker 3: the size of ships anything, how how large the straight
Speaker 3: of Hord moves is. But they called it straight because
Speaker 3: it's kind of narrow, especially considering where they usually are
Speaker 3: able to maneuver. So it puts you between a rock
Speaker 3: and a hard place, not between a rock and Iran.
Speaker 3: And so if you're there having to maneuver in this
Speaker 3: small area and trying to guard these ships, that puts
Speaker 3: our naval ships at risk as well, but also puts
Speaker 3: all of us at risk financially. And so a lot
Speaker 3: of people are looking at some of these missiles that
Speaker 3: are coming into Jerusalem and saying, where did this stuff
Speaker 3: come from? Was this Iranian? Or was this given by
Speaker 3: Russia and China? Well, Trump is vowed in spite of
Speaker 3: all this, the big one is coming. We're getting ready
Speaker 3: to unleash something really, really big. So the big wave,
Speaker 3: he said, hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon.
Speaker 3: And Marco Rubio is echoing that as well. I guess
Speaker 3: trying to get back into Trump's good graces after the
Speaker 3: devastating candor of what he had to say the other day,
Speaker 3: in terms of, well, we decided to go ahead and
Speaker 3: do it because Israel was going to do it, So
Speaker 3: we have to follow them whatever they're doing, so they
Speaker 3: dictate the timing, and folks, let me just say this, Yes,
Speaker 3: the Trump administration deserves criticism for being followers of Israel
Speaker 3: and not doing things in our interests. Absolutely, they deserve criticism,
Speaker 3: but look, they were pushed into this, and we know
Speaker 3: that they are getting a lot of money from Israel,
Speaker 3: and they're owned by Israel, as Trump has said, right
Speaker 3: he said, you used to own Congress, and rightfully so.
Speaker 3: But they're not doing what you want to do. Send me,
Speaker 3: I'll do everything that you want to do, so we
Speaker 3: know where this is going. However, we also know that
Speaker 3: the US government is responsible for us own decisions, isn't
Speaker 3: it let's not let Trump off the hook. He wanted
Speaker 3: this war. I mean, he's done these sayings, he's done
Speaker 3: for Israel. He's done them because he wants to. But
Speaker 3: he's responsible for his own actions, and so is Marco Rubio.
Speaker 3: They can't push this off in another country. It's despicable
Speaker 3: that they are letting another country dictate to them what
Speaker 3: to do. But it is their decision. They need to
Speaker 3: own it. And we have seen already that they are pirates, terrorists,
Speaker 3: starting unjust wars, in other words, wars where we are
Speaker 3: the aggressor, and then conducting them in a way that
Speaker 3: is criminal, even if it was a legitimate conflict, executing
Speaker 3: people who are shipwrecked. I'm disgusted with this terrorist government
Speaker 3: of Washington. They literally are terrorists. And so now you're
Speaker 3: saying the big one is coming and we're going to
Speaker 3: be doing even more. I've got apoptosis twenty two, says David.
Speaker 3: Was wondering who the false figwas. Well, they're keeping that
Speaker 3: in reserve to go a boots from the ground move.
Speaker 3: I fear. Yeah, you're probably right. It's going to be
Speaker 3: some kind of a morale builder or something that they
Speaker 3: use for escalation because already there is a lot of pushback.
Speaker 3: The American public was not on board with this war,
Speaker 3: did not want to see this war, and already there's
Speaker 3: a political price to pay for this, and so they're
Speaker 3: going to Like I said, I should have thought about
Speaker 3: the fact that Trump always does whatever he wants and
Speaker 3: then faces the consequences later. He doesn't think about whether
Speaker 3: or not it's a wise move. He certainly doesn't think
Speaker 3: about whether or not it's legal or constitutional. He just
Speaker 3: does it and then he deals with the lawsuits and
Speaker 3: the fights after the fact. So, yeah, I believe that
Speaker 3: it will be coming. So he says, we'll do this
Speaker 3: as long as it takes to advance those objectives, and
Speaker 3: we will achieve those objectives. The world will be a
Speaker 3: safer place when we're done with this operation. That, Folks,
Speaker 3: is the ultimate lie. All of his actions, even the
Speaker 3: kidnapping of Maduro, immediately raised the threshold of uncertainty. People saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: well Trump has done this, so now we can do
Speaker 3: it as well. The Russian politicians said, well he has
Speaker 3: untied our hands. These types of things matter. Precedent Trump,
Speaker 3: and he's setting precedents internationally, not just bad precedents. In
Speaker 3: our country as well. Wallie Rawler says, everyone in the
Speaker 3: government is owned by Israel. Well, that's absolutely true, and
Speaker 3: so that's a big part of it. They are, still, however,
Speaker 3: responsible for their actions. I've heard people let Trump off
Speaker 3: the hook so many times because they said, well, in COVID,
Speaker 3: he was just getting bad advice from people, was bad
Speaker 3: advice some people who work for him, bad advice from
Speaker 3: people that he put in that position or whatever. He's
Speaker 3: still responsible for it, just like Harry Truman said, the
Speaker 3: buck stops here, and it does. Don't let them off
Speaker 3: the hook either. It's bad enough that they're owned, but
Speaker 3: they have betrayed the constitution in Americans as well on
Speaker 3: the Iran war. They think you are stupid. This is
Speaker 3: an article from the American Conservative, and they're absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Trump thinks Americans are stupid. Yeah, and especially Republicans. I
Speaker 3: mean he said that, he said, if I ever run
Speaker 3: for president, I'll run as a Republican because they're stupid, they'll.
Speaker 2: Vote for me.
Speaker 3: And I talked about and that's what this article here
Speaker 3: is talking about, kind of looking at his case for
Speaker 3: the war with Iran, and he makes a case for
Speaker 3: the war with run saying Yeah, for forty seven years
Speaker 3: have been chanting back to America and they have been.
Speaker 2: Angry with us.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe that has something to do with the fact
Speaker 3: that not forty seven years ago, but seventy three years
Speaker 3: ago we.
Speaker 2: Went to war with them.
Speaker 3: Think about the fact that for all these regime changes
Speaker 3: that we have done, one of the first and one
Speaker 3: of the biggest that we did was I in nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty three, shortly after World War II. We did that
Speaker 3: regime change, and we have been reaping the rotten fruit
Speaker 3: from that for the longest time. You put in this
Speaker 3: tautalitarian guy they called himself the Shaw, which is Persian
Speaker 3: for king, put him in, equipped and trained his secret police,
Speaker 3: the CIA and Massad did. They equipped and trained the
Speaker 3: Savakh so he could oppress his own people. And so
Speaker 3: it was a ninety That was seventy three years ago,
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty three, and they put up with that for
Speaker 3: about thirty six years, pretty amazing before it really blew
Speaker 3: up and blew back on us. That is a classic
Speaker 3: case a blowback. It is a classic case of regime
Speaker 3: change failure. It's one of the very first ones we did,
Speaker 3: and all of them are failures. Trump's many reasons amounted
Speaker 3: to really no reason at all. Is an intellectually no,
Speaker 3: he said, any intellectually honest observer was left fairly clueless
Speaker 3: as to what he was talking about. Entered Congress, more
Speaker 3: specifically the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which posted on x
Speaker 3: congratulating the President on ending Iran's forever war with the
Speaker 3: United States. We've been the aggressor attacking Iran for seventy
Speaker 3: three years now. We did have that little Iran Contra
Speaker 3: affair where the Reagan administration made friends with the ITOLA
Speaker 3: for a while so that they could get dirty money
Speaker 3: that they could use to run their secret dirty war
Speaker 3: against the Contras. They sold them spare equipment for the
Speaker 3: jets that we had given the totalitarian dictator of the SHAW.
Speaker 3: And you had Bill Casey, Reagan's CIA campaign manager, who
Speaker 3: personally went to Iran and got them to agree they
Speaker 3: would not release the hostages until Reagan took office, so
Speaker 3: they would hold them even after Reagan won election. So
Speaker 3: we have been cooperative with Iran in the past. But
Speaker 3: again Trump is sending the forever war. That is ending
Speaker 3: the forever war that Iran has waged against Americans for
Speaker 3: the last forty seven years. Wrote the House Foreign Affairs
Speaker 3: Committee on social media. The problem is very large. It's
Speaker 3: not limited strictly to Trump, is it? So? According to
Speaker 3: this bipartisan committee, a war has been going on between
Speaker 3: Iran and the US for nearly half a century, actually
Speaker 3: three quarters of a century, but it was on our side.
Speaker 2: We are the aggressor.
Speaker 3: Trump's actions over the weekend were merely a decisive and
Speaker 3: strong president finally putting an end to it. And he
Speaker 3: scoffs as you should as well. The US began this
Speaker 3: ongoing war by pursuing iron regime change way back in
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 2: Trump just started a.
Speaker 3: War with Iran in which there will be life and
Speaker 3: death political consequences in which the little thought seems to
Speaker 3: have been given. This is a new regime change war
Speaker 3: of choice which most Americans did not want. It was
Speaker 3: started by Trump, and it will end only god knows
Speaker 3: how right well as Trump is bombing Iran, we need
Speaker 3: to reckon with the American war machine rights Free Thought Project.
Speaker 3: And again, if you want to handle on this, just
Speaker 3: look at how unhinged Lindsey Graham is every day he
Speaker 3: wants to have another war center. Lindsay Graham is.
Speaker 5: Now calling for the US deserve bombing Lebanon.
Speaker 6: In response to the idea of faction.
Speaker 7: A fist sight he hasn't wanted to turn into a
Speaker 7: bombing right, So I just tell you with a grain
Speaker 7: of salt, Yes, ma'am, it.
Speaker 2: Was doctor Cuba.
Speaker 3: He's got a long list of people he wants to kill.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely amazing the hate that oozes out of this guy.
Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham, that's Tim Burchett, Congressman from Tennessee, just waving
Speaker 3: it off. Yeah, he doesn't see. If he sees a
Speaker 3: fist fight in a parking lot, he wants to turn
Speaker 3: it into a bombing raid.
Speaker 2: That's a good butt down.
Speaker 3: It's also not accurate to say that Israel is dragging
Speaker 3: the US into a war against its choosing. Reporting has
Speaker 3: shown that these two nuclear powers were in lockstep on
Speaker 3: their planning of this attack. So in order to stop
Speaker 3: this violence, we need to really contend with how it started,
Speaker 3: and the US is hardly a victim here. We can
Speaker 3: start a course by demanding that Congress immediately pass a
Speaker 3: war Powers resolution to put an end to this destructive assault.
Speaker 3: We can lift up the call being made by some
Speaker 3: groups to impeach, not only Trump, but every single member
Speaker 3: of his cabinet who had a hand in making this
Speaker 3: unjust and illegal war possible. Let me tell you something
Speaker 3: that's not going to happen. Democrats secretly want this war
Speaker 3: as well. They also take money from Israel. But just
Speaker 3: take a look at what they Why would they impeach Trump.
Speaker 3: This guy is albatross around the GOP and they know it.
Speaker 3: He's going to pull them down like Jimmy Carter pull
Speaker 3: the Democrats down.
Speaker 2: It's it's just obvious.
Speaker 3: If they impeach him and remove him, then the Republicans
Speaker 3: get to put in jd Vance, who I don't like
Speaker 3: jd Vance. I don't like his technocracy, don't like the
Speaker 3: control that Peter Teel has over him. But he is
Speaker 3: wiser and more moderate in the way that he speaks
Speaker 3: and the things that he and the way he comes across.
Speaker 3: He's a lot more controlled than Donald Trump is. They
Speaker 3: don't want to have that situation in there, so they
Speaker 3: will get control of the Congress in this next election
Speaker 3: and they will do some kind of an impeachment thing,
Speaker 3: but they won't take it all the way to the
Speaker 3: end because they don't want to remove Trump. They want
Speaker 3: to use it for political capital. They want to use
Speaker 3: it to win elections up and down, and I don't
Speaker 3: want to see the Democrats winning elections of it, especially
Speaker 3: at the state and local level. But that's kind of
Speaker 3: where we are right now, between two awful and evil choices.
Speaker 3: But when you look at what happened with all this
Speaker 3: is why I keep going back to what happened in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty when Trump went to war with the American
Speaker 3: people for globalist agenda. I mean, he outed himself right
Speaker 3: there as being a diet in the role Rold Economic Forum,
Speaker 3: globalist in terms of his goals, in terms of his actions,
Speaker 3: terms of everything he did, locking us down, taking our jobs,
Speaker 3: getting us trying to move the Overton window towards universal
Speaker 3: basic income, every single aspect of what he did with
Speaker 3: that was a betrayal. That's why I look at this
Speaker 3: a lot of what a lot of people are saying.
Speaker 3: It's almost like this is the first time they've noticed.
Speaker 3: It was so clear and still is. Especially it should
Speaker 3: be even more clear now if you have lost the
Speaker 3: spell that he cast over the MAGA people. Our elected
Speaker 3: officials need to publicly explain why they hemmed and hawed
Speaker 3: over a war powers resolution before these attacks occurred, despite
Speaker 3: the obvious military build up.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: I think it's only Thomas Masse who tried to get
Speaker 3: that passed and try to preemptively stop this preemptive attack,
Speaker 3: and he couldn't get other people of other Republicans to
Speaker 3: sign on with them. They did have this come up,
Speaker 3: and they shut it down. We must demand that every
Speaker 3: member of Congress who voted to increase our military budget
Speaker 3: to nearly a trillion dollars account for their choices. And
Speaker 3: we have to push those members of personal investments in
Speaker 3: the military machine to the tune of tens of millions
Speaker 3: of dollars. And even further, they need to explain their
Speaker 3: conflicts of interest and why they continue to profit off
Speaker 3: of this death and destruction, lawmakers who take money from
Speaker 3: groups like APAC that are relishing in this war. Especially
Speaker 3: and when you look at the warfare of the welfare state,
Speaker 3: it's funny to me how Republicans can get rightfully upset
Speaker 3: about welfare fraud. They seem to not care at all
Speaker 3: about warfare fraud. You know, what about all these this
Speaker 3: massive fraud and waste that we see in military systems
Speaker 3: and procurement. How about the trillions of dollars that went
Speaker 3: missing right before nine to eleven, and then they flew
Speaker 3: the missile right into the window of the office that
Speaker 3: was doing the investigation. What about that, Well, the White
Speaker 3: House is acting like it's losing the Iran narrative. Rights
Speaker 3: Media eight. They said seventy seven percent of Republicans approve
Speaker 3: of the operation, and of self identified MAGA voters are
Speaker 3: nearly fifty point. It's more likely than non MAGA Republicans
Speaker 3: to trust Trump on the use of force in Iran. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the double think is strong. The force is strong with
Speaker 3: this one. So why is the Republican Why is the
Speaker 3: White House acting like it's losing the narrative? Because the
Speaker 3: polling isn't the problem, but their narrative is.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Rubio handed them the problem when he went to Congress
Speaker 3: and talked to the eight, the Gang of Eight, the
Speaker 3: high ranking officials Democrat and Republican, and House in the Senate.
Speaker 3: He said Israel was going to act, so the US
Speaker 3: had to strike first to reduce casualties. Paired with his
Speaker 3: argument about Israel's missile production outpacing American interceptor capacity. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: not Israel, but Iran. Roughly one hundred ballistic missiles produced
Speaker 3: per month against six or seven interceptors. That's what I
Speaker 3: said at the up the front. Those numbers are coming
Speaker 3: from Rubio. So if those are the public numbers imagined,
Speaker 3: what the real numbers are like, It's like anything else.
Speaker 3: They're talking about inflation, unemployment, we're talking about military strength.
Speaker 3: Always going to lie to you about this stuff. So again,
Speaker 3: if they are making one hundred of these missiles and
Speaker 3: we need three interceptors, two or three interceptors per missile,
Speaker 3: we need two or three hundred of these things a
Speaker 3: month just to break even. But we're producing six to seven,
Speaker 3: not two or three hundred. So the White House recognized
Speaker 3: the hazard almost immediately. What followed wasn't routine communications, it
Speaker 3: was damage control with a specific target. Matt Waalsh had
Speaker 3: made comments on social media, and Caroline Levitt didn't respond
Speaker 3: at the podium. Instead, she sent the response directly to
Speaker 3: him on social media, which is really, as they point
Speaker 3: out here, and admission of concern and of weakness. So
Speaker 3: Matt Walsh had written that the administration's messaging was, to
Speaker 3: put it mildly confused. Now that is very mild.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 3: She replied directly to him directly on social media, not
Speaker 3: with a talking point, but with an enumerated list of
Speaker 3: objectives and maximalist language about enemy deaths and outcomes. That
Speaker 3: is not how you respond to a manageable complaint. That's
Speaker 3: how you respond when you think a frame is about
Speaker 3: to set inside your own coalition and you need to
Speaker 3: stop it before it does. When you flood the zone
Speaker 3: with quote everyone serious supports this and it is morally overdue.
Speaker 3: When that's your response, you're not communicating confidence. You're trying
Speaker 3: to drown ambiguity before it hardens. Trump himself made the
Speaker 3: anxiety visible. Onto asked whether Israel had forced his hand.
Speaker 3: He didn't dismiss the question, but he flipped it. No,
Speaker 3: I might have forced their hand. He said, this is
Speaker 3: if anything, I forced Israel's hand. What does that remind
Speaker 3: you of? It reminds me of John Lovett when he
Speaker 3: used to do the liar on a Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3: Uh no, no, that is anything, I think, I forg Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's it. That's the ticket. I forced their hand. I
Speaker 3: told that to my wife, Morgan Fairchild. Right, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the ticket.
Speaker 5: It's so funny you would ask that it's just so
Speaker 5: funny you would ask that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a So that's a remarkable thing for a
Speaker 3: sitting president to say in the middle of an active
Speaker 3: military operation. Who's leading whom is a question that has
Speaker 3: gotten loud enough that Trump felt compelled to personally reverse
Speaker 3: its polarity. Presidents who are winning the argument don't do that.
Speaker 3: And the reason the House, the White House is nervous
Speaker 3: because of Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly and Matt Walsh.
Speaker 2: They are the infrastructure.
Speaker 3: Of the very media ecosystem the Trump movement built, and
Speaker 3: they are now running a sustained counter narrative that the
Speaker 3: administration clearly believes has traction regardless of what any cross
Speaker 3: tab says talking about polling. And so Trump is very
Speaker 3: upset with Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly. Oh they're not maga.
Speaker 3: I am MAGA. Yeah, you're not America. I am America.
Speaker 3: And don't try to forget it. Come after you with
Speaker 3: the Department of Justice. The polling says that the base
Speaker 3: is holding. And yet you know again, Republican voters alone
Speaker 3: are not going to win this any elections for them.
Speaker 2: That's the key thing.
Speaker 3: Their audiences may not defect in any traditional sense, but
Speaker 3: sustained elite criticism within a coalition Kenny roade enthusiasm, depressed
Speaker 3: turn out margins, and shift dinner energy in ways that
Speaker 3: don't show up in approval polls until it's too late. Well,
Speaker 3: I just say, when we look at this and the
Speaker 3: Democrats get a chance to impeach him, I hope they
Speaker 3: at least bring good charges against him. That was the
Speaker 3: problem with the impeachment stuff in twenty twenty and so forth,
Speaker 3: because the things that they were coming up with were
Speaker 3: not real concerns, not real issues, not real crimes, and
Speaker 3: it was it gave him the aura of a victim.
Speaker 3: He's not a victim, and so they need to pick
Speaker 3: the real issues. And there is a target rich environment
Speaker 3: of things to impeach Donald Trump for in just this
Speaker 3: first year. I've never seen anybody in my lifetime who's
Speaker 3: had such utter contempt for the rule of law, of
Speaker 3: the Constitution and basic morality as Donald Trump. I hope
Speaker 3: they get him better. But like I said, you were,
Speaker 3: you know, they're not. They don't want to push him
Speaker 3: out of office. They don't want JD. Vance in there,
Speaker 3: and of course they have to unless there's a big
Speaker 3: change in the Senate. Even if the House were to
Speaker 3: impeach him, the Senate is not going to actually convict
Speaker 3: him on that. He's a man without convictions. We could say,
Speaker 3: in every sense of the word, love it. Directly replying
Speaker 3: to Walsh, Trump personally flipping the I forced them framing.
Speaker 3: Those moves signal to the broader media ecosystem that this
Speaker 3: line of criticism has enough bite to warrant presidential attention.
Speaker 3: And you don't send the Secretary of State Rubio back
Speaker 3: to try to do damage control if something's not hurting you.
Speaker 3: And this is what he did. Here's a clip. You'll
Speaker 3: hear him the original thing that he said, and then
Speaker 3: you'll hear him going back and trying to do damage
Speaker 3: control and trying to walk this back.
Speaker 8: That Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why
Speaker 8: we needed to get involved. Today the President said that
Speaker 8: Iron was.
Speaker 2: In a good Yeah, your statement is false.
Speaker 9: So that's not what I was asked, very specifical. Were
Speaker 9: you there yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, they think you're stupid.
Speaker 9: Made the very wise decision. We suggested it's going to
Speaker 9: be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate
Speaker 9: an attack against American forces, and we knew that we
Speaker 9: didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks,
Speaker 9: we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even hire those killed,
Speaker 9: And then we would all be here answering questions about
Speaker 9: why we knew that and.
Speaker 3: Didn't at Yeah, okay, so you heard him try to
Speaker 3: walk that back out. Were you here? I didn't say that.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely false. This is the thing that bothers me,
Speaker 3: I guess, maybe more than anything else about the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: Not only do they think you're stupid, they're stupid. They're
Speaker 3: not just dishonest liars. They are so stupid that they
Speaker 3: don't realize that people are going to put those two
Speaker 3: clips next to each other, just like Christine Home when
Speaker 3: she said, yeah, the agents were under attack, they were
Speaker 3: stuck in the snow, and these people trying to hit
Speaker 3: them with their cars just makes up the story. And
Speaker 3: Trump did the same thing. And when he was in
Speaker 3: the Oval office and being interviewed by the New York
Speaker 3: Times and they questioned him about the situation there, and
Speaker 3: he said, oh, this is what happened. No, that's not
Speaker 3: what happened. And he goes get the tape. Let's show them.
Speaker 3: I'll show them what this is. He'd obviously never even
Speaker 3: bothered to look at the tape, and when he saw
Speaker 3: the tape, he didn't have anything to say. He was, well,
Speaker 3: you know, and then he changed the subject to something
Speaker 3: completely different. They just Christine Home, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio.
Speaker 3: They tell you that what you have seen with your
Speaker 3: own eyes, even if it's them talking, they tell you
Speaker 3: that that's not what happened. And so then we have
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson who made an interesting statement. He said that
Speaker 3: authorities in Saudi Arabia and Cutter had arrested Israeli Massad
Speaker 3: agents planning bombings in those countries. And then Cutter Foreign
Speaker 3: Ministry came back and pushed back against that, and so
Speaker 3: that didn't happen. Tucker Carlson said, why would the Israelis
Speaker 3: be committing bombings and golf countries which are also being
Speaker 3: attacked by Iran? Aren't they on the same side. Here's
Speaker 3: that clip.
Speaker 6: Hasn't been reported, but it's a fact that last night
Speaker 6: in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, authorities arrested Massad agents planning
Speaker 6: on committing bombings in those countries. Why would these Raelies
Speaker 6: be committing bombings in two golf countries which are also
Speaker 6: being attacked by Iran, aren't they on the same side.
Speaker 6: No Israel wants to hurt Iran and Qatar and Ua
Speaker 6: and Saudi and Bahrain and Oman and Kuwait, and they've succeeded.
Speaker 6: And the third thing you would have to do if
Speaker 6: you wanted true control over the region is get the
Speaker 6: US out of the Middle East. And this war is
Speaker 6: designed to do it, because the Israelis know that there
Speaker 6: is no appetite whatsoever for casualties and that this would
Speaker 6: cause a political crisis in the United States, would most
Speaker 6: critically convince our Arab allies that the United States is
Speaker 6: a bad ally Sadia Ramco facility.
Speaker 2: Went up last night.
Speaker 6: The Uranian said they didn't do it. Why would they
Speaker 6: say they didn't do it? Possible Israel did it. Why
Speaker 6: wouldn't they Because if you think about it, scaring our
Speaker 6: other allies in the region, letting them know that they
Speaker 6: can get attacked and the US will not defend you.
Speaker 6: You put it with all this crap for decades because
Speaker 6: you get American troops on your soil and your population
Speaker 6: doesn't like it, but you do it. Anyway, because you've
Speaker 6: been told if there was ever a problem, the US
Speaker 6: will come rescue you. Well, guess what we just learned.
Speaker 6: The US is not coming to rescue you.
Speaker 3: Guess what maybe you just learned. Tucker Carlson this controlled
Speaker 3: opposition and he cannot be trusted, folks. He cannot be trusted.
Speaker 3: I've watched this guy work for the CIA and the
Speaker 3: government to tamp down any obvious video. I mean talk
Speaker 3: about somebody being stupid that they know that there's video
Speaker 3: of stuff. He wouldn't let architects and engineers show the
Speaker 3: video of the building collapsing so that they could talk
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm just whow of them video? I'm not
Speaker 2: showing that video.
Speaker 3: And he would say things like you, why are these
Speaker 3: crazy conspiracy theorists always want to talk about the melting
Speaker 3: point of steel and the temperature of airplane fuel and
Speaker 3: all these other things. Well, because they matter, and you
Speaker 3: should know they matter. You're not stupid. Tucker is not stupid.
Speaker 3: He is dishonest. He has said things like, well, you
Speaker 3: can't talk about building seventy. Can't ask questions like that,
Speaker 3: or you get fired. That's probably the most honest thing
Speaker 3: the guy has ever said, and he told you right
Speaker 3: there that he was lying for the man, he was
Speaker 3: lying for the establishment, he was lying for the CIA.
Speaker 3: And so when you look at COVID, same situation. He
Speaker 3: is more than happy to take the big checks from
Speaker 3: Fox News and deceive people. He might do an occasional
Speaker 3: eye roll as to what they're saying about something, but
Speaker 3: he wasn't going to attack it head on. He wasn't
Speaker 3: going to tell you the truth. Be careful with Tucker.
Speaker 3: I agree with him on a lot of different issues,
Speaker 3: and I just them on some issues, but do not
Speaker 3: trust him at all. He's got some interesting guests because
Speaker 3: he's got a big name show, but do not trust
Speaker 3: this guy. So some people point out and Cutter, it's
Speaker 3: a crime to publish fake news like Tucker Carlson just did.
Speaker 3: You can land a person a five year prison sentence
Speaker 3: or a fine that amounts to about twenty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Of course, that would mean nothing to Tucker Cralson. It'll
Speaker 3: be interesting to see what Cutter does given that Tucker
Speaker 3: just bought a home there any of them confiscated them home.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: Tucker is too much of a coward to directly blame
Speaker 3: Trump forgetting America involved in war in Iran. So you
Speaker 3: fabricated a story so insane that it triggered a minor
Speaker 3: diplomatic incident in which Cutter had to come forward and say, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not true. Keep that in mind, and then we've
Speaker 3: got Pentagon Pete or Pete as I call him, who
Speaker 3: these casualties were now learning were from one particular strike.
Speaker 3: We've had six US service members confirmed dead, many people
Speaker 3: seriously injured. And it wasn't multiple things that happened. It
Speaker 3: was one particular incident. The six service members confirmed dead
Speaker 3: were killed while inside a triple wide trailer that Pete
Speaker 3: Hegseth described as quote fortified. The trailer, which served as
Speaker 3: a makeshift operations center, took a direct hit amid Iran's
Speaker 3: retaliatory strikes and Kuwait just after nine am Local times Sunday.
Speaker 3: Central commands said eighteen troops have also been seriously wounded,
Speaker 3: while others are suffering minor shrapnel wounds and concussions. Yeah,
Speaker 3: fortified trailer, is that right? I'm reminded. At one point
Speaker 3: I was interviewing with Harris Semiconductro. I wanted to move
Speaker 3: back to Florida. To be closer to my family. The
Speaker 3: group I was interviewing with was tracking satellites and they
Speaker 3: had they they were operating out of a trailer and
Speaker 3: the UH trailers don't do too well with hurricanes or tornadoes,
Speaker 3: and so what these guys did as a joke and
Speaker 3: they showed me they went up on the roof of
Speaker 3: the of the trailer and they were this is not
Speaker 3: a trailer. I guess maybe that's the fortification that Pete
Speaker 3: Haig said they do. You go up there and you write,
Speaker 3: this is not a trailer. This is not These are
Speaker 3: not the soldiers that you're looking for Iran, except that
Speaker 3: they weren't really protected. You know, you're not really protected
Speaker 3: in a trailer like that anyway. Source told CNN there
Speaker 3: was no warning of the attack. Not only did the
Speaker 3: air defense not go off, but there was no air
Speaker 3: raid siren that went off. Struck in the Port of Kuwait,
Speaker 3: no siren was activated to alert troops to evacuate. There
Speaker 3: were dozens of people inside the building at the time.
Speaker 3: The walls of the building were blown outward in the blast,
Speaker 3: according to pictures of the site, with a fire that
Speaker 3: was still burning hours afterward. Early on Monday, before the
Speaker 3: bodies of two servicemen were recovered. Hegseth had said that
Speaker 3: one projectile made it through air defenses and hit a
Speaker 3: tactical operation center that was fortified. This guy is going
Speaker 3: to lie to you about everything they always do. Trump said, sadly,
Speaker 3: there'll be more like this before it ends. And I'm
Speaker 3: afraid he's right about that, telling you the truth about that.
Speaker 3: US troops told Trump's attack on Iran is signal fire
Speaker 3: for armageddon. Multiple commanders across all branches of the US
Speaker 3: military have offered a fundamentalist Christian explanation for the attack
Speaker 3: on Iran. Folks, Let's just understand something. This is not Christianity.
Speaker 3: Christianity is focused on the Lord Jesus Christ as the way.
Speaker 3: It is not focused on geopolitics. It's not focused on
Speaker 3: fortune telling. What's the end of the world going to
Speaker 3: look like. You've got these megachurches like Ken Hagy. I
Speaker 3: think it is John Hagey. John Hagu's his name, and
Speaker 3: I always meant to go check that out one I
Speaker 3: thought I could stand seeing it. I was kind of curious.
Speaker 3: That's in San Antonio. So on Sunday I went to
Speaker 3: go down there and see what this clown is up
Speaker 3: to He brings in politicians from Israel, ambassadors and such
Speaker 3: like that, all the time flags of Israel behind him,
Speaker 3: and he literally worships Israel and he pushes this. Be
Speaker 3: careful of people who major in trying to focus on revelation.
Speaker 3: They completely missed the fact that the letter was titled
Speaker 3: the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they treat
Speaker 3: it as divination of the end of the world. So
Speaker 3: they lecture from the Book of Divinations. They're fortune tellers,
Speaker 3: are like the Witch of Endoor, and that's what they're
Speaker 3: focused on. And I don't care if they've got the
Speaker 3: prophecy right or not. They may have it right, who knows.
Speaker 3: But the way they use it is like debonation. And
Speaker 3: what they get focused on in terms of politicians and
Speaker 3: foreign governments it is idolatry and they replace the Lord
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ with net and Yahoo. How disgusting is that?
Speaker 3: So the commander of the unit said one person urged
Speaker 3: us to tell our troops that this is all part
Speaker 3: of God's divine planning, specifically referenced numerous citations out of
Speaker 3: the Book of Revelation regarding AMAgeddon and the eminent return
Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ. He said that Trump had been anointed
Speaker 3: by Jesus to light the first signal fire in Iran,
Speaker 3: to cause armageddon and to mark his return to Earth.
Speaker 3: He had a big grin on his face, which made
Speaker 3: his message seem even crazier.
Speaker 2: Well, it is crazy, it is crazy.
Speaker 3: And again these people are not falling the Lord. It's
Speaker 3: here's the sky, heyy whatever his first name is. Here,
Speaker 3: he is giving you a taste of the kind of insanity.
Speaker 3: And he's got a big display that he paid a
Speaker 3: lot of money for. Except their operation. Epic Fury is
Speaker 3: in the background there as he's talking.
Speaker 7: Russia must find that oil to be a global force.
Speaker 7: Israel has that oil, and Russia is already moving into
Speaker 7: the Middle East. What Israel doesn't have, Donald Trump will control. Secondly,
Speaker 7: Israel has what Russia must have to be a global force,
Speaker 7: a warm water port for their navy. Right now, Russia's
Speaker 7: navy is limited by the icy conditions that surround them,
Speaker 7: makes their ships unusable. Ezekiel states that odd quote in
Speaker 7: the fury of his wrath will send a great earthquake
Speaker 7: in the lend of Israel, so that the fish of
Speaker 7: the sea and the birds of the hell of heaven,
Speaker 7: and the beast of the field, and all creeping things
Speaker 7: that creep on the earth shall shake at the presence
Speaker 7: of God Mountain.
Speaker 2: I wonder if the creepy things includes him. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine going to a church and all you're
Speaker 3: going to get is a bunch of occult devination, tea leave,
Speaker 3: reading and all the rest of this stuff. He's not
Speaker 3: going to tell you about the Lord Jesus Christ, why
Speaker 3: it was necessary for him to come, but he has
Speaker 3: done for you. He's not going to tell you about
Speaker 3: any of that stuff. He's constantly pointing to politics. He's
Speaker 3: constantly saying, well, this is what's going to happen in
Speaker 3: the future. It's just disgusts me quite frankly. That's not Christianity,
Speaker 3: not Christianity at all. And then we have, in terms
Speaker 3: of talking about principles, we have Tulsa Gabbert, this is
Speaker 3: not that peace from the American Conservative saying she should resign.
Speaker 3: And the person writes this says, well, we all know
Speaker 3: that politics is, as the adage goes, the art of compromise,
Speaker 3: but it shouldn't involve sacrificing first principles. That's the key thing, right,
Speaker 3: if you're going to sacrifice that, why would you even
Speaker 3: put that adjective? There is first principles. You've got to
Speaker 3: have some principles that matter, some things that are foundational,
Speaker 3: and you don't compromise on those things. And so he
Speaker 3: says it's difficult for ideologues to try to wield substantial power.
Speaker 3: Everyone in politics has determined just how far they're willing
Speaker 3: to compromise to be productive before violating their own principles
Speaker 3: or even losing their soul to the process. Well, I
Speaker 3: would say that, you'd maybe call me an idea log
Speaker 3: but I would say, you don't violate your principles. Now,
Speaker 3: you can compromise a lot of different things that are there,
Speaker 3: but not your principles. It's clear that after this weekend
Speaker 3: and the joint unprovoked American Israeli attack on Iran Director
Speaker 3: of National Intelligence Tulsa Gabbard must choose to resign or
Speaker 3: forfeit any respectability in the America First Movement, not just
Speaker 3: the America First Movement, any respectability at all. And the
Speaker 3: sad thing is is that if you look at this,
Speaker 3: if she is doing this for political advantage, for career advantage,
Speaker 3: she would be better off to take a principal stand.
Speaker 3: Now she has stood over and over again. He goes
Speaker 3: to this article talking about how many times during her
Speaker 3: presidential campaign and when she was elected to Congress, all
Speaker 3: the different times that she has taken a stand against
Speaker 3: endless wars, against regime change, and now she's going to
Speaker 3: be silent.
Speaker 2: And we have seen this already.
Speaker 3: She truthfully labeled Clinton quote the queen of warmong, the
Speaker 3: embodiment of corruption and the personification of the rot that
Speaker 3: has sickened the Democratic Party for so long.
Speaker 2: She said, well, that's absolutely right.
Speaker 3: In front of the National Guard Association, Telsey said, this
Speaker 3: is one of the main reasons why I'm committed to
Speaker 3: doing what all that I can to send Trump back
Speaker 3: to the White House. I played this clip for you before.
Speaker 3: Let's see, we don't have it on the board anymore.
Speaker 3: Can once again serve us as our commander in chief,
Speaker 3: because I am confident that his first task will be
Speaker 3: to do the work to walk us back from the
Speaker 3: brink of war. We cannot be prosperous unless we are
Speaker 3: at peace. But she says the right thing. But then
Speaker 3: when it comes time to do it, she backs off.
Speaker 3: She said, we are uniting forces to end foreign wars.
Speaker 3: During her confirmation hearing, she had to reverse her longtime
Speaker 3: opposition to keep provisions of the FAIZA. I remember that
Speaker 3: for an intelligent surveillance aide. I said, right then, now
Speaker 3: it's over right. You've seen RFK Junior do the same thing,
Speaker 3: violatest principles over and over again again. The latest one
Speaker 3: of those is what he's done with glyphysset, praising Trump's
Speaker 3: executive order to not only compel greater production of glyphysset,
Speaker 3: but also to give them legal immunity from lawsuits as
Speaker 3: they have paid out tens of billions of dollars, and
Speaker 3: there have been hundreds of thousands of cases, and the
Speaker 3: jurys have looked at these, and you've had scientific studies.
Speaker 3: We know how harmful this is. And jurys have awarded
Speaker 3: tens of billions of dollars to victims of monsanto. Trump
Speaker 3: is going to give them legal immunity from that, and
Speaker 3: he's going to push for production greater production of this
Speaker 3: poison again. And then RFK Jr. Joins along with them.
Speaker 3: Rf K Junior knows it's the wrong thing. Telsea Gabbard
Speaker 3: knows this is the wrong thing as well as a
Speaker 3: matter of fact, Even though she caved on Faiza, she
Speaker 3: refused to label ed Snowden a trader or to condemn
Speaker 3: his exposure of mass illegal surveillance by the NSSA, So
Speaker 3: some people held out a little bit of hope for her.
Speaker 3: Gabbard confirmed in congressional testimony that Iran is quote not
Speaker 3: building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Kamani has not
Speaker 3: authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two
Speaker 3: thousand and three, and that's the same conclusion that her
Speaker 3: predecessors had reached twenty years earlier. But when Trump undermined
Speaker 3: her influence, including telling reporters flatly, well, I don't care
Speaker 3: what she says. You know, she's the director of National Intelligence.
Speaker 3: He doesn't care what she has to say. He's going
Speaker 3: to do whatever he wants. He's going to listen to
Speaker 3: Israel anyway. Gabbard tried to straddle the fence, and she
Speaker 3: said Iran can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks or
Speaker 3: months if they decide to finalize the assembly. Restatement of
Speaker 3: our initial conclusion. Rewarded to follow the president. Well, the
Speaker 3: US bombed Iron's nuclear facilities last year, there was a
Speaker 3: public discussion over whether Gabbard was on her way out
Speaker 3: and disappointment from her former supporters that she was not
Speaker 3: making a more forthright stand on the facts, But she
Speaker 3: caved on that as well. During a security summit and Bahrain,
Speaker 3: she gave a full throated condemnation of neo conservative arrogance
Speaker 3: and foreign policy. She said, for decades, our foreign policy
Speaker 3: has been trapped in a counterproductive, endless cycle of regime
Speaker 3: change or nation building. It was a one size fits
Speaker 3: all approach of toppling regimes. And we have Iatola's in
Speaker 3: charge of Iran today precisely because of the bone headed,
Speaker 3: stupid foreign policy of regime change that we did in
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty three in Iran. That is a failure of
Speaker 3: some of our first off and it's been failing for
Speaker 3: seventy three years. We've been failing at regime change longer
Speaker 3: than we've been failing at the drug war. Imagine that.
Speaker 2: And so what is she to do now?
Speaker 3: Well, this writer says, it talks about how Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 3: Green has taken a stand and resigned. And there's also
Speaker 3: a precedent of Woodrow Wilson and his and his let's see.
Speaker 3: Secretary of State was William Jennings Bryan, right, and the
Speaker 3: two of them worked together and effectively until the outbreak
Speaker 3: of World War One in Europe. William Jennings Bryan insisted
Speaker 3: on true neutrality, and he favored warning American citizens against
Speaker 3: traveling on belligerent ships through war zones and prohibiting American
Speaker 3: passenger ships from carrying ammunition. In the aftermath of the
Speaker 3: sinking of the Lusitania were a hundred twenty eight Americans
Speaker 3: were killed. Woodrow Wilson's provocative response to the German government
Speaker 3: to that Brian submitted his resignation rather than carry out
Speaker 3: the policy that got us involved.
Speaker 2: In World War One.
Speaker 3: He wrote, I cannot join without violating what I deemed
Speaker 3: to be an obligation to my country, and the issue
Speaker 3: involved is of such moment that to remain a member
Speaker 3: of the cabinet would be unfair to you, as it
Speaker 3: would be to the cause which is nearest to my heart,
Speaker 3: namely the prevention of war. Telsey Gabbert should follow the
Speaker 3: same example, write says author of The American Conservative. She
Speaker 3: should resign her post in opposition to the Iran war
Speaker 3: and publicly condemned Trump's betrayal of the American people and
Speaker 3: the betrayal of his promise of no more endless wars.
Speaker 3: She could have a long career of ad and public
Speaker 3: service ahead of her if she has principles. I really
Speaker 3: don't know what happens if she continues to go down
Speaker 3: the same course that she has of compromising on fundamental
Speaker 3: principles again, she could be even a formidable candidate for
Speaker 3: president because many people I wouldn't vote for her as
Speaker 3: too much baggage. As a matter of fact, part of
Speaker 3: the baggage that Telsea Gabbert has is that she was
Speaker 3: pro life before she desired to have a seat in Congress.
Speaker 3: She had to run as a Democrat, so she changed
Speaker 3: her positions on that. She's not pro life when it
Speaker 3: comes to war either, now is she? And so she
Speaker 3: does an abortion flip flop, she does a war and
Speaker 3: regime change flip flop. She's just another opportunist and we
Speaker 3: should understand that we're going to take a quick break
Speaker 3: before we do again. A couple of comments. There's stell Patriot,
Speaker 3: thank you very much for the tip. He says, I'm
Speaker 3: not even dis point in the politicians. They just do
Speaker 3: what they're always do Yeah, it's in their nature, right,
Speaker 3: lying and stealing. It's the voters that allow them to
Speaker 3: get away with it that is the disappointment.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: That's the way I felt throughout twenty twenty. It's like,
Speaker 3: what is the matter with American Why are we doing this?
Speaker 3: Why are we going in single file into the grocery
Speaker 3: store in one direction, following all the little arrows on
Speaker 3: the floor and everything just like that, they tell you
Speaker 3: do it and everybody falls in line. I just didn't
Speaker 3: realize that this country was like that. I was so
Speaker 3: disappointed in the people of America. I was disappointed in
Speaker 3: the business owners that would not allow me to set
Speaker 3: down and have a meal without a mask. I had
Speaker 3: to wear the mask and show that I was obedient
Speaker 3: to the government before they would seek me at one
Speaker 3: of their tables. I said to that I called him over.
Speaker 3: I did this multiple times. I wouldn't go to the
Speaker 3: chains because I knew the chains were just run by
Speaker 3: employees and they didn't really care about profits. But I thought, well,
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I've had a small business before, and
Speaker 3: I know that you don't want to puy in your
Speaker 3: relationship with your customers and you're looking at the bottom line.
Speaker 3: You don't want to turn people away. So then let
Speaker 3: me talk to them about this. Twice I call people
Speaker 3: over and made a scene and I said, look at this.
Speaker 3: Everybody is sitting here, nobody is wearing a mask, and
Speaker 3: you're telling me that I can't get into this restaurant
Speaker 3: unless I first put on a mask. And so what's
Speaker 3: that about. You know, that's not changing anything. And you
Speaker 3: know that these people once they're sitting down and they
Speaker 3: don't have a mask and they're eating, they can stand
Speaker 3: up and they walk around the restaurant and they can
Speaker 3: go to the restroom and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: You don't hassle them. Well, you have to do it.
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I don't you know. Finally I
Speaker 3: had said both of them. I said, and there's something
Speaker 3: else I don't ever have to do. Ever come back
Speaker 3: to your restaurant. You're dead to me. I'm never coming
Speaker 3: back to this place. If you're going to be like that,
Speaker 3: if you're going to sell the rope that is used
Speaker 3: to hang you, I'm not coming back. Oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: disappointed in Americans in a big way. Tornador, thank you
Speaker 3: for the tip. Apparently that quote where Trump said he'd
Speaker 3: run as a Republican because there's stupid is fake.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Although the sheep who trust the establishment of either party
Speaker 3: are stupid by default, that is true. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess I've heard that so many times I just
Speaker 3: assumed it was true. But I think I agree with
Speaker 3: that assessment, and I agree with your assessment that the
Speaker 3: sheep and both of these parties are stupid. We're going
Speaker 3: to take a quick break, folks, and we will come
Speaker 3: right back and again let's play Shnnandoah. Because as I
Speaker 3: look at this war, I sympathize more and more of
Speaker 3: the character that's played by Jimmy Stewart. I don't want
Speaker 3: to have anything to do with either side of this thing,
Speaker 3: and yet we're going to be caught up in this
Speaker 3: one way or the other, whether we like it or not.
Speaker 10: On APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to
Speaker 10: your mobile device. Get the APS Radio app today and
Speaker 10: listen wherever you go.
Speaker 3: Well, as I said at the top of the show,
Speaker 3: we have the California House and Senate unanimously, and Gavin
Speaker 3: Newsom has signed it as well, signed into a loss.
Speaker 3: Something's going to happen in January next year, which has
Speaker 3: a troubling contradiction at its heart, and it's also about
Speaker 3: the desire to turn the use of the Internet into
Speaker 3: a trackable privilege. Of course, to save the children as well,
Speaker 3: that's what they put it out there. But it also
Speaker 3: has an element in it. I believe that is crony
Speaker 3: capitalism because when you look at this, the effect that
Speaker 3: it's going to have is going to be to effectively
Speaker 3: outlaw things like Linux. Who benefits from that? Microsoft, Google, Apple,
Speaker 3: those people who are putting those things in they will
Speaker 3: benefit from that. Specifically Microsoft and Apple will benefit with
Speaker 3: their OS systems. They don't want to have any independent
Speaker 3: third party things that we're seeing this over and over again.
Speaker 3: You notice how our masters are so upset when we
Speaker 3: talk to each other, when we can communicate with each other.
Speaker 3: They've got to control that, and they've got to control
Speaker 3: any ability that we have to make or create things
Speaker 3: as well. It's not just you'll own nothing and you'll
Speaker 3: be happier, but you will also not create anything either.
Speaker 3: That's a big part of this. So as California law
Speaker 3: goes into effect January twenty twenty seven, and it will
Speaker 3: basically kill open source operating systems. California wants to build
Speaker 3: a surveillance layer into every device that is residents touch.
Speaker 3: This is from Reclaim the Net assembly build ten forty three,
Speaker 3: signed by Gavin Newsom, taking effect the first day of
Speaker 3: next year January the first, twenty twenty seven, requires every
Speaker 3: operating system provide to collect age information from users at
Speaker 3: account setup and broadcast that data to app developers through
Speaker 3: a real time API. The proposals are particularly dumb for
Speaker 3: open source Linux operating systems. Linux exists specifically because some
Speaker 3: people want computing that doesn't surveil them. I mean, you
Speaker 3: look at what is happening with Microsoft and how they're
Speaker 3: embedding their AI into the operating system, and it's being
Speaker 3: they've taken the surveillance and a naggy aspect of this
Speaker 3: even more so. And people are talking about Micross slop
Speaker 3: software talking about AI. It's very intrusive and people trying
Speaker 3: to get away from that so they go to Linux.
Speaker 3: It's not incidental to why the platform exists, it is
Speaker 3: foundational to why people go to Linux. And there's other
Speaker 3: operating systems out there as well. Distributions like arch wn
Speaker 3: Gen two have no centralized account infrastructure, and that is
Speaker 3: by design. Users download ISOs from mirrors and they modify
Speaker 3: source code freely, and they run systems that report to nobody.
Speaker 3: So this Act AB ten forty three treats the entire
Speaker 3: architecture of open source computing as a compliance problem. They
Speaker 3: don't want you to have open source computing. They don't
Speaker 3: want you to have three D printers, they don't want
Speaker 3: you to have anything. You'll own nothing and you'll create nothing,
Speaker 3: and you know, they will complete control everything we have
Speaker 3: if we let them. I've just never seen anything like it.
Speaker 3: Just want to go through the news. It's one thing
Speaker 3: after the other with a government interjecting themselves into points
Speaker 3: of our life where they don't have any business, where
Speaker 3: they don't have any authority being, and where they've never
Speaker 3: tried to get before. It's exploding. And the thing that
Speaker 3: is at the very center of it is the technology.
Speaker 3: And I think that's one of the aspects of the
Speaker 3: crony capitalism here. You know, they get that control over
Speaker 3: us through these big companies, and I want to keep
Speaker 3: these big companies as partners. That's the kind of techno
Speaker 3: fascism that we're looking at here to create the surveillance state,
Speaker 3: and understand that it is bipartisan. It passed the House
Speaker 3: thirty eight to zero, and they have some Republicans in
Speaker 3: the California House, and in the Senate it passed seventy
Speaker 3: six to zero. Buffy Wicks is the person who authored
Speaker 3: the bill. That should tell you something it. Buffy said
Speaker 3: that it avoids constitutional concerns by focusing strictly on age
Speaker 3: assurance and not on content moderation. Now, first of all,
Speaker 3: before we get into the double talk nonsense that that's
Speaker 3: all about, just think about the fact that in California,
Speaker 3: they want your kids to be indoctrinated with all the
Speaker 3: LGBT stuff. They want them to think that they're in
Speaker 3: the wrong body. They want them every aspect of the
Speaker 3: LGBTs stuff they're pushing to them, and they're trying. They're
Speaker 3: very adamant that children should be able to mutilate sterilize
Speaker 3: their bodies at a very early age. And yet they
Speaker 3: want to control what computers they touch. What's that about,
Speaker 3: and have age restrictions on using a computer and an
Speaker 3: operating system, but not age restrictions on taking hormones to
Speaker 3: destroy your body and having a surgeon cut it up.
Speaker 3: No age restrictions on that how utterly insane. And as
Speaker 3: they point out, that statement itself doesn't logically hold up.
Speaker 3: What is the point of the monitoring of the age, Well,
Speaker 3: we're just looking for the age. We're not going to
Speaker 3: do anything to control your content. Well, that's the whole
Speaker 3: purpose of finding out your age is to control the
Speaker 3: content that you're going to be able to get access to.
Speaker 3: What a thin lie that is. And yet it passed genanimously.
Speaker 3: Everybody in state government, every single persons in the California House,
Speaker 3: every single person in the California Senate, and the governor
Speaker 3: himself all support this nonsense. So the law actually builds
Speaker 3: a persistent age signaling infrastructure that has woven into the
Speaker 3: startup process of your devices. OS providers must maintain what
Speaker 3: the bill calls a quote reasonably consistent real time application
Speaker 3: programming interface. The sorts users into four age brackets. And
Speaker 3: this is not the first time we've seen this. This
Speaker 3: is a global agenda. We've seen this in foreign countries
Speaker 3: as well. They all do the same thing, whether it's
Speaker 3: a traffic light permission system like they've pushed on us
Speaker 3: with COVID first, China did it with social credits, and
Speaker 3: they did it with COVID or whether it's this for
Speaker 3: age brackets under thirteen thirteen to under sixteen, sixteen to
Speaker 3: under eighteen eighteen year older. I'm chuckling as I look
Speaker 3: at this because I'm thinking what we could do is
Speaker 3: we could name these after different predators in the Epstein files. Right, Well,
Speaker 3: you're in the Trump bracket here, or you're in the
Speaker 3: Lutnik bracket, or you're the Jeffrey bracket here. That'd be
Speaker 3: the least one, I guess. But anyway, it's truly it's
Speaker 3: very very transparent what they're trying to do. They're setting
Speaker 3: up a police surveillance state. And so when I go
Speaker 3: back and I say, so, what is it? You know
Speaker 3: they don't want the kids to get access to pornography.
Speaker 3: We've had some LGP LGBT advocates out there saying, well,
Speaker 3: porn is actually good for the LGBT kids, it trains
Speaker 3: them or whatever. It's like, yeah, I bet it does,
Speaker 3: And so are they really trying to keep pornography away?
Speaker 3: That's typically something that Republicans do. It's not something you
Speaker 3: think about the Democrat LGBT party doing. I think fundamentally
Speaker 3: this is about. This is about grooming kids for the
Speaker 3: police surveillance state. You've got to get them accustomed to
Speaker 3: not having freedom with anything. I think that's really what
Speaker 3: they're after here. It's not there to protect them against
Speaker 3: some kind of sexual predator, sexual content or whatever. They're
Speaker 3: actually pushing that in the schools. This is about getting
Speaker 3: them accustomed to the police surveillance state. If you stop
Speaker 3: and think about it, I said this back in the
Speaker 3: nineties when they were doing lockdowns and schools and they
Speaker 3: had you know, metal detectors and all this kind of
Speaker 3: stuff that they put in the schools, I said, that's
Speaker 3: training for the police state. This is training for the
Speaker 3: police state. In my opinion, that's exactly what this is
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 5: It's like with technology. You know, any technology you grow
Speaker 5: up with is just standard. It's there and you don't
Speaker 5: even think about it. It's part of your life. Any
Speaker 5: tyranny you grow up with, you barely think about. This
Speaker 5: is just how it is. This is how it's always been.
Speaker 5: This is all I've ever known.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's techno tyranny they're getting them accustomed to. That's
Speaker 3: absolutely right, and that's why the government is so adamant
Speaker 3: on running school systems, folks, don't turn your kids over
Speaker 3: to them. Isn't it the worst bill of it? It isn't
Speaker 3: the worst bill of it's kind, though, says Reclaim the Net.
Speaker 3: It doesn't require government ID uploads or facial skins. Users
Speaker 3: simply declare their age as setup. That distinguishes that from
Speaker 3: other laws and Texas and Utah that require commercially reasonable
Speaker 3: verification like government issued ID checks. And again, typically it's
Speaker 3: going to be in Republican controlled states like Texas and
Speaker 3: Utah where they're going to try to make the case
Speaker 3: we've got to do this for the kids. This is
Speaker 3: simply about grooming for the police surveillance state. I'm kind
Speaker 3: of surprised that Reclaim the Net doesn't see it that way.
Speaker 3: Developers who receive the signal are deemed to have actual
Speaker 3: knowledge of their user's age range under the law that
Speaker 3: change and legal liability is a mechanism that makes the
Speaker 3: whole system work. Penalties will run up to twenty five
Speaker 3: hundred dollars per affected child for negligent violation and seventy
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars for intentional ones. Developers now have strong
Speaker 3: financial incentives to request every age signal available. So what
Speaker 3: do they do with CLINICX. I mean, who do you
Speaker 3: find linux or mains be seen? But basically they're just
Speaker 3: criminalize it. It'll be a black market operating system if
Speaker 3: it's open source, if it's somebody that's a big tech
Speaker 3: company in California, oh well, then you work with us,
Speaker 3: like they know your customer rules for the banks and
Speaker 3: so forth. But if not, you are persona no garrada
Speaker 3: and you may wind up getting the fine yourself. I
Speaker 3: don't know exactly how that's going to operate. DOJ has
Speaker 3: briefly abandoned Trump's unconstitutional orders that targeting law firms. Well,
Speaker 3: administration's capricious behavior underlies the inherent problem with giving a
Speaker 3: single person so much power. Well, he was never given
Speaker 3: this power. He usurped it or it was just abandoned
Speaker 3: and abdicated by the other branches of government, including state governments,
Speaker 3: in terms of doing this. But this goes back to
Speaker 3: one of the first things that he did. There were
Speaker 3: these Democrat law firms. Some of them were there working
Speaker 3: with his Democrat enemies like Soros and so forth, and
Speaker 3: some of them had been long associated with Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 3: like Perkins Koi, and some of them had had In
Speaker 3: one particular case, there was a lawyer who had taken
Speaker 3: leave of absence from the law firm and he was
Speaker 3: working on some of this election stuff in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: that Trump didn't like. He was on the opposing side
Speaker 3: of it. And then he went back to that law firm.
Speaker 3: And so now the entire law firm, if you remember this,
Speaker 3: at the very beginning, he said, he singled out some
Speaker 3: of these law firms. He said, they're not going to
Speaker 3: have security clearance, which immediately takes a lot of cases
Speaker 3: off the table for them. And then he went even further, said,
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, they're not even going to
Speaker 3: be allowed into federal buildings. And so we do something
Speaker 3: crazy like that, crazy and vindictive, and you do it
Speaker 3: to law firms. These are large law firms. Of course
Speaker 3: they're going to sue you back. And so what we
Speaker 3: had was this lawsuit that he kicked off. And now
Speaker 3: what you had was the Department of Justice came back
Speaker 3: and said, all right.
Speaker 2: We're going to just let this. We're going to drop this.
Speaker 3: And within twenty four hours they came back and said,
Speaker 3: you know, they filed emotion with the court saying we're
Speaker 3: just going to drop this case within twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: Evidently Donnie got a wind of this or whatever and
Speaker 3: came back and they then filed a motion to withdraw
Speaker 3: that what they had just given the court and said, no,
Speaker 3: we're going to continue with it again. Within twenty four hours,
Speaker 3: they do a complete one. And so I said, you know,
Speaker 3: Trump is always capricious and odious. That's what Taco stands for.
Speaker 3: And it is truly amazing and how petty this is,
Speaker 3: how personal it all is. As I said, even the
Speaker 3: things that he does with foreign countries. You've got Spain
Speaker 3: did not do something that he wanted them to do
Speaker 3: in support of what he's doing with Iran. So he
Speaker 3: just decides that he's going to block exports from Spain
Speaker 3: in the United States just like that. He's not playing geopolitics,
Speaker 3: he's playing ego politics. None of this has anything to
Speaker 3: do with economics. It all has to do with egoonomics.
Speaker 3: And so they changed their name within twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: The following morning, they came out and filed a motion
Speaker 3: to withdraw their previous motion of voluntary dismissal. As they
Speaker 3: point out here in reason, they say, the capricious nature
Speaker 3: of the case of the government reversing then unreversing its
Speaker 3: course underlies the inherent problem with them binding so much
Speaker 3: power into a single person. We're starting to see the
Speaker 3: wisdom of the founders yet again, why it was designed
Speaker 3: this way. They understood human nature, and they did it
Speaker 3: the way they did it to protect us against people
Speaker 3: like Donald Trump. After re entering office last year, Trump
Speaker 3: issued executive orders against more than a dozen law firms
Speaker 3: favored by Democrats. The orders imposed unworkable restrictions that would
Speaker 3: have prevented the firms from representing any clients in any
Speaker 3: federal case, and the types of things that I had
Speaker 3: mentioned before.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 3: One guy was not even working for the law firm
Speaker 3: when he was on a case opposing Trump. Put another way,
Speaker 3: Trump punished a multi national law firm with over five
Speaker 3: hundred attorneys based on a job that one employee took
Speaker 3: while he didn't work there. That's the level of vengeance,
Speaker 3: personal vengeance that Trump wants to pursue. And so, as
Speaker 3: one person said, he's with the Foundation for Individual Rights
Speaker 3: and Expression. He said, even if you share the president's
Speaker 3: dim view of big law, and I do, and I've
Speaker 3: criticize these law firms, and what they've done in the
Speaker 3: past as well. Consider that his actions set a dangerous
Speaker 3: precedent again, President Trump, that will outlast his administration in
Speaker 3: the future. Perhaps lawyers who represented Republican politicians, or who
Speaker 3: challenged mail in voting procedures, or who defended abortion restrictions
Speaker 3: will face retributions instead of the Democrats with this, because
Speaker 3: that's what it's going to happen exactly. And you know
Speaker 3: when we talk about the flock cameras and the license
Speaker 3: plate readers and all the rest of the surveillance state
Speaker 3: and tied into the ring cameras and other things like that,
Speaker 3: how we have said this up. It turns out that
Speaker 3: that was a big part of how they were able
Speaker 3: to track these Iranians and do the assassination of company
Speaker 3: hacked traffic cameras they had they hacked into the network
Speaker 3: of traffic cameras in Iran, and then they were able
Speaker 3: to feed all kinds that kind of information plus other
Speaker 3: kinds of information, all this geospatial intelligence. They were able
Speaker 3: to feed it into an AI program and it was
Speaker 3: going to sort out who the interesting people were there.
Speaker 3: Remember when Michael Hayden said that he's not interested in
Speaker 3: everybody we're interested in interesting people, and now they have
Speaker 3: the tools to go through this mountain of data and
Speaker 3: find the people that they want to attack, first of all,
Speaker 3: identify them by their their politics. I'm truly amazed when
Speaker 3: I go.
Speaker 2: To X and I click.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a thing when you go over somebody's name,
Speaker 3: you can do a summary of somebody's profile. I was
Speaker 3: surprised at their summary of me. I thought it was
Speaker 3: pretty spot on, and certainly something that would stick out
Speaker 3: to the powers that be, is something that'll be interested in.
Speaker 3: But that's where we all are right now, and that's
Speaker 3: what artificial intelligence is about. And that's why the Trump
Speaker 3: administration is so adamant that they want to end it
Speaker 3: was a bipartisan thing, actually, and that big beautiful bill
Speaker 3: or whatever stop any restrictions or legislation controlling artificial intelligence
Speaker 3: for a decade, and you know what will happen in
Speaker 3: a decade. They will extend it or they'll make it
Speaker 3: even worse.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 3: The traffic cameras on the streets that Tehran provided a
Speaker 3: real time view of the targets. It was hacked years ago.
Speaker 3: The cameras allowed Israel to map the city in detail,
Speaker 3: establish patterns of movement and build an intricate, complex picture
Speaker 3: of what was happening inside an enemy capital. And as
Speaker 3: I've said over and over again, it's geospatial intelligence that
Speaker 3: has been the fastest growing part of the intelligence community
Speaker 3: going back to the late nineteen nineties, and it's where
Speaker 3: James Clapper grew up, and they would have before the lockdown,
Speaker 3: they would have conventions on annual basis where they have
Speaker 3: thousands of people go to these geospatial intelligence conventions, and
Speaker 3: part of it is some other kind of AI they
Speaker 3: would talk about. Even before they had artificial intelligence, they
Speaker 3: were doing anticipatory intelligence to predict where people are going
Speaker 3: to go. And all of this was to sort through
Speaker 3: and find interesting people, people who you didn't like their
Speaker 3: politics or you didn't like their religion. The cameras are
Speaker 3: only one part of a much more complex system, some
Speaker 3: of whose details were first reported by the Financial Times.
Speaker 3: The loud Israel to build one to build one of
Speaker 3: what is really source familiar with the matter, called an
Speaker 3: AI powered target production machine, those capable of processing massive
Speaker 3: amounts of data. Now they're not saying this in the article,
Speaker 3: but we can read through the lines. We know that
Speaker 3: that's basically what Palentteer does. Palanteer that is their bread
Speaker 3: and butter. And we also know, because it's back and
Speaker 3: forth between Pentagon, Pete and Anthropic that has the claud Ai,
Speaker 3: we know that Palenteer was using claud Ai for their
Speaker 3: stuff as well, so they're both involved in this. It
Speaker 3: went visual and went visual intelligence, human intelli eligence, signals intelligence,
Speaker 3: intercepted communications, satellite imagery and more. And so the visual
Speaker 3: intelligence was there with these traffic cameras right then they
Speaker 3: had some people on the ground. Then they had signals
Speaker 3: that they would intercept as well as satellite images. They
Speaker 3: would feed all of this stuff into artificial intelligence and
Speaker 3: it would sort through this massive mountain of data, which
Speaker 3: is what it is excellent at doing. And so the
Speaker 3: massive quantity of information that would go in and they
Speaker 3: would draw out the targets the people that they want
Speaker 3: to target. It has added to what Israel has reportedly
Speaker 3: shown to be a long standing penetration of the Iran's
Speaker 3: inner circles, which has enabled it to assassinate scores of
Speaker 3: Iran's top nuclear scientists and officials over the years, and
Speaker 3: to steal the country's nuclear archive and to kill hamasa's
Speaker 3: political leaders and Tehran. The system has proven itself before.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, although the US and Iran
Speaker 3: were engaged in negotiations over Teywan's nuclear program, netnya who
Speaker 3: believed and felt that there was never going to be
Speaker 3: enough common ground to reach a deal. And of course
Speaker 3: we know that because we have seen the clips of
Speaker 3: him talking for over thirty years about how well, any
Speaker 3: day now they're going to have nuclear weapons. There's absolutely
Speaker 3: no way that Netna who was involved in any good
Speaker 3: faith negotiations with this. So he met with Trump at
Speaker 3: the White House February eleventh. The two of them had
Speaker 3: a private meeting for nearly three hours. They only released
Speaker 3: a single photo, so they were pretty busy. You know,
Speaker 3: this is not a photo session. The talk was not
Speaker 3: about ongoing Iranian negotiations. Instead, there were drawing up plans
Speaker 3: for a joint attack well before they got into these negotiations.
Speaker 3: The negotiations were just treachery. Think about that, about what
Speaker 3: these people are set up to do. The Electronic Freedom
Speaker 3: Foundation is filing a brief to shut down unconstitutional geofens searches.
Speaker 3: And again this is the geofense searches. We saw a
Speaker 3: little bit of that with January sixth, but they're doing
Speaker 3: it over and over again. They're setting up the surveillance
Speaker 3: States of America. We should be very concerned about geospatial intelligence,
Speaker 3: about geofencing. The brief argues that geofense warrants, which compel
Speaker 3: companies to provide information on every electronic device in a
Speaker 3: given area during a given time period, are a digital
Speaker 3: version of the exploratory rummaging that the drafters of the
Speaker 3: Fourth Amendment specifically intended to prevent by requiring a search warrant.
Speaker 3: Unlike typical warrants, geofense warrants do not name a suspect
Speaker 3: or even target a specific individual or device. Instead, police
Speaker 3: cast a digital dragnet demanding location data on every device
Speaker 3: in a geographic area during a time period, regardless of
Speaker 3: the device owner has any connection to the crime at
Speaker 3: all under investigation. And we've talked about places where this
Speaker 3: is really led to some horrific faults identification and consequences
Speaker 3: for people who were caught up in this drag net
Speaker 3: simply because they were in an area. The Supreme Court
Speaker 3: agreed to hear chat reeve versus United States, in which
Speaker 3: a twenty nineteen Geofense warn't compelled Google to search the
Speaker 3: accounts of all of its hundreds of millions of users
Speaker 3: to see if any of them was within a radius
Speaker 3: that police drew around a Northern Virginia crime scene. This
Speaker 3: area amounted to several football fields in size, and it
Speaker 3: encompassed numerous homes, businesses, and even a church and an
Speaker 3: ancient brief that was I'm sorry ancient and an amicus
Speaker 3: brief that was filed Monday. They argued that allowing this
Speaker 3: kind of sweeping power to go unchecked is inconsistent with
Speaker 3: the freedoms of a democratic society.
Speaker 2: Of course it is.
Speaker 3: This is not a traditional police work, but rather the
Speaker 3: leveraging of new and powerful technology to claim a novel
Speaker 3: and formidable power over its people their very nature. By
Speaker 3: the very nature, the geofense searches turn innocent bystanders into suspects,
Speaker 3: and leverages even purportedly limited searches into larger dragnets, causing
Speaker 3: intrusions at a scale far beyond those held constitutional in
Speaker 3: the physical world. Yeah eff has repeatedly argued that these
Speaker 3: high tech efforts to pull suspects out of thin air
Speaker 3: cannot be constitutional, even with a warrant. Geofense searches are
Speaker 3: just the kind of impermissible general warrants the frameworks of
Speaker 3: the constitution so reviled. And that's where we are here, folks.
Speaker 3: These people will do anything in everything to set up
Speaker 3: a police surveillance state. They're going to ban operating systems.
Speaker 3: They want to ban three D printers, and not just
Speaker 3: because of the ghost gun stuff. That's They always come
Speaker 3: up with some kind of a rationale and some kind
Speaker 3: of a scary label for something d G eight. Thank
Speaker 3: you very much for the tip, says David. The sad
Speaker 3: part about this California tyrannical action is that it's plain
Speaker 3: to see that we have one giant UNI party. People
Speaker 3: can't and won't see it.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: The left right bogus paradigm is undeniable, David. They will
Speaker 3: never go after the porn industry. Do you realize the
Speaker 3: top two founders of APAC is the porn industry. Mind
Speaker 3: Geek is owned by a rabbi. That's number one. Only
Speaker 3: Fans is number two, also owned by a rabbi. And
Speaker 3: then of course you got Scumbley Boteach, who is a
Speaker 3: rabbi who sells sex toys, and Alex has him on
Speaker 3: a lot. Didn't have him on when I was there,
Speaker 3: but he's he's become a real fan of that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff, I guess.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3: Bottom line is that it's not about that. It's not
Speaker 3: about protecting the children. The Republicans are trying to make
Speaker 3: that case. You need to realize that that's really not
Speaker 3: what the Republicans are addressing either. They're also on board
Speaker 3: with this other thing because there's a lot of different
Speaker 3: ways that they could address that, and it's really a
Speaker 3: parental issue. It's a lot of different ways they could
Speaker 3: address that other than ending anonymity on the web. That
Speaker 3: is their goal. That is the goal of the World
Speaker 3: Economic form. Yeah, I always think about when we talk
Speaker 3: about the UNI Party and what you said there about
Speaker 3: people can't and won't see it. I've had people leave
Speaker 3: stuff on comments about the show or the things. Yeah,
Speaker 3: David is just he hates everybody. It's like, I don'ate
Speaker 3: to everybody. I hate what these what the UNI Party
Speaker 3: is doing, and I'm trying to tell you that it's
Speaker 3: you know, the Republican Party is not your savior. The
Speaker 3: Democrat Party is not your savior. It's both of them.
Speaker 3: That are doing this. We're going to take a quick
Speaker 3: break and we'll be right.
Speaker 1: Back making sense common again.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 10: Elvis and the Beetle and the Sweet Sounds of Motown.
Speaker 10: Find them on the Oldies channel at APS radio dot com.
Speaker 3: Well, what we're just talking about in terms of people
Speaker 3: always thinking that, you know, there's this getting pushed into
Speaker 3: this false dichotomy. Well, it's either this or that, and
Speaker 3: this is better than that, so I'm going to support
Speaker 3: this or whatever when they both might be evil. A
Speaker 3: good example of this, I think is what's going on
Speaker 3: right now between Anthropic and their large language model that
Speaker 3: they call Claude, and what is happening with open Ai
Speaker 3: and their large language model chat GPT, and what's going
Speaker 3: on with the Pentagon, And this is escalated over the
Speaker 3: last week. It was not even a week since the
Speaker 3: since Pentagon Pete and Trump said, oh they're woke. I
Speaker 3: want them out of here. And I don't really know
Speaker 3: the background of the CEO or Anthropic that much. His
Speaker 3: name is Dario A Modi. I guess I don't know
Speaker 3: how to pronounced his last name. I haven't looked it
Speaker 3: up anyway, he is the one who is standing firm
Speaker 3: on these red lines that he said. And the way
Speaker 3: I see this happening is to me, this is one
Speaker 3: of the few things that people can do right now.
Speaker 3: I think why this has gotten so large, one of
Speaker 3: the few things that a lot of people can do.
Speaker 3: They're they're frustrated with this war. They don't want to
Speaker 3: see this happening. What do you do to stop it? Well,
Speaker 3: one of the things they can do is identify somebody
Speaker 3: as part of this military industrial complex and say we
Speaker 3: don't want to have anything to do with that. So
Speaker 3: they're dropping open AI and chat GPT like hot potato
Speaker 3: with this. So as part of this argument going back
Speaker 3: and forth, the CEO Dario Amedai said, it's about the
Speaker 3: principle of standing up for what's right, and he may
Speaker 3: be sticking to this. This may be something that is genuine.
Speaker 3: I don't know yet. They did found this company, they said,
Speaker 3: because they were concerned about the direction I think it
Speaker 3: was maybe open a open AI was going. They were
Speaker 3: concerned about the direction that was going. So they started
Speaker 3: this company and said we're going to have some We're
Speaker 3: going to put out some principles here, things that we
Speaker 3: will not do. We will not become part of mass surveillance,
Speaker 3: and we want allow this to be used for autonomous
Speaker 3: killing machines.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: It feels very punitive what is being done to us
Speaker 3: by the Trump administration, and in appropriate given the amount
Speaker 3: that we have done for US national security. That's why
Speaker 3: I say, you know, when we look at this, it
Speaker 3: was really these are the guys that were doing the
Speaker 3: targeting and all the rest of the stuff, along with Palanteer.
Speaker 3: So I really kind of wonder where they are on
Speaker 3: these red lines. But even more troubling is we absolutely
Speaker 3: do know where the Pentagon is. We absolutely do know
Speaker 3: where Pentagon PETE is and where Trump is. They want
Speaker 3: to have mass surveillance, artificial intelligence, and it's not just this.
Speaker 3: We could see it before what they're pushing. At the
Speaker 3: very first day that Trump is there, he pushes that
Speaker 3: mRNA poison that he's so proud of in conjunction with
Speaker 3: artificial intelligence. And then he last summer, as I just said,
Speaker 3: we're going to give immunity to artificial intelligence. You can't
Speaker 3: have any local or state laws that are going to
Speaker 3: shut down. Well, we'll see about that. People should take
Speaker 3: the same approach that Trump does and say, well, you know,
Speaker 3: we'll see about that, because the Constitution is on our side.
Speaker 3: The Tenth Amendment makes it clear that the states and
Speaker 3: the people are not dictated to by the federal government.
Speaker 3: We're the ones who created the federal government. States created
Speaker 3: the federal government. The people created the federal government according
Speaker 3: to the document that they swear to uphold, and so
Speaker 3: hold them to that and say, you are a creature
Speaker 3: of the states and of we the people, and you
Speaker 3: don't get to tell us what we can and cannot do.
Speaker 3: We have these two red lines, said Amedai. We had
Speaker 3: them from day one, and we're still advocating for those
Speaker 3: red lines and we're not going to move away from them.
Speaker 3: Those red lines, well, they're red lines for the Pentagon
Speaker 3: as well. Pentagon says, if you don't do mass surveillance
Speaker 3: of Americans, we're going to put you out of business.
Speaker 3: And if you don't help us with our autonomous killing machines,
Speaker 3: we're going to put you out of business. So it
Speaker 3: doesn't show the judgment that a human soldier would show,
Speaker 3: said Amadai about Ai in terms of automated killing machines,
Speaker 3: friendly fire or shooting a civilian or just the wrong
Speaker 3: kind of thing. He said, yeah, but see the thing
Speaker 3: is or Pete doesn't really care about that, does he.
Speaker 3: He doesn't care about machine gunning people who have been shipwrecked.
Speaker 3: Shipwrecked why because of an unjust war that you started.
Speaker 3: These are red lines that the Trump administration has ignored
Speaker 3: for quite some time. They don't care what the Geneva
Speaker 3: Convention says, they don't care what the Pentagon rules say.
Speaker 3: They don't care what basic human decency and rules of
Speaker 3: morality say either. So Amaedi says, we don't want to
Speaker 3: sell something that we don't think is reliable, and we
Speaker 3: don't want to sell something that could get our own
Speaker 3: people killed, or they could get innocent people killed. And
Speaker 3: so as a result of that, they are getting punished
Speaker 3: by Trump and Pete. They want to put them out
Speaker 3: of business. They want to say, anybody that uses their product,
Speaker 3: you can't have anything to do with the federal government.
Speaker 3: And so the federal government now basically that's the way
Speaker 3: that Biden was able to push out these mandates because
Speaker 3: virtually every company now except for small mom and pop businesses,
Speaker 3: every company, if they're of any size, they're doing business
Speaker 3: with the federal government. It's one of the most lucrative
Speaker 3: businesses that you can have because they don't really care
Speaker 3: in terms of costs. So it's a rich customer that
Speaker 3: you want to have. And if they're not going to
Speaker 3: be your customer because you are doing business with Anthropic,
Speaker 3: then it's much much bigger than this small, relatively small
Speaker 3: contract they have of two hundred million dollars. So Amai
Speaker 3: says Anthropic plans to take legal actually said always seen
Speaker 3: so far as tweets from the President and from Secretary Hegseth.
Speaker 3: He said, Anthropic remains at the negotiating table hoping to talk.
Speaker 3: Asked what he might say to Trump, Ahmedi said, we
Speaker 3: are patriotic Americans. Everything that we have done has been
Speaker 3: for the sake of this country, for sake of supporting
Speaker 3: US national security. We believe in defeating our autocratic adversaries.
Speaker 3: We believe in defending America. The red lines we have
Speaker 3: drawn we drew because we believe that crossing those red
Speaker 3: lines is contrary to American values. Disagreeing with the government
Speaker 3: is the most American thing in the world. And we
Speaker 3: are patriots and everything we have done here we have
Speaker 3: stood up for the values of this country.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: Well, Sam Altman immediately ingratiated himself and with the Pentagon
Speaker 3: to take their place, and the blowback has been pretty
Speaker 3: significant in terms of people downloading the large language models
Speaker 3: or uninstalling the large language models on their devices. Anthropics
Speaker 3: Claud jumped to number one in the App Store as
Speaker 3: users dropped chat gpt over what Sam Altman is doing.
Speaker 3: It's not every day that an AI app leapfrogs are
Speaker 3: number one in the App Store, especially when it's overtaking
Speaker 3: the category's biggest name, chat GPT. But that's exactly what
Speaker 3: happened when anthropics Claud climbed to the top of Apple's rankings,
Speaker 3: edging out chat GPT. And so the response of damage
Speaker 3: control from Sam Altman is to come out and brag, oh, oh,
Speaker 3: we're going to have red lines too, Yeah, right. Open
Speaker 3: ai is amending the agreement to include language noting that
Speaker 3: we only do things that are consistent with applicable laws. Well,
Speaker 3: be careful because that excess doesn't like that. If you
Speaker 3: say don't do illegal orders, he's going to come after you.
Speaker 3: This guy just wants to kill, to kill the rule
Speaker 3: of law first and foremost, and so he says, also,
Speaker 3: we will say that our AI models shall not be
Speaker 3: intentionally used for domestic surveillance of US persons and nationals.
Speaker 3: Noticed that he put in there intentionally. Do you remember
Speaker 3: when James Clapper was asked by Ron Wide he said,
Speaker 3: are you spying on Americans with a search warrant? Well, Senator,
Speaker 3: not intentionally, that line guy, that's what he's That's what
Speaker 3: Sam Altman is doing. Well, well, not intentionally. We're not
Speaker 3: doing it intentionally. No, it's intentional. He got in there.
Speaker 3: So you got a huge number of people not only
Speaker 3: getting clawed, but they are uninstalling chat GPT at a
Speaker 3: very very rapid rate.
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 3: He went into full damage control over the weekend because
Speaker 3: they signed this new agreement with depending On to do
Speaker 3: what an ethical company would not do.
Speaker 2: He says, I'll do it.
Speaker 3: So people realize that he's an opportunist and he'll do
Speaker 3: whatever it takes. And so of course he's going to
Speaker 3: do mass surveillance for the Pentagon. So they have uninstalled
Speaker 3: rates of open AI's chat GPT spiked at two hundred
Speaker 3: and ninety five percent day over day, so the uninstalled
Speaker 3: rate went up by three hundred percent. Meanwhile, they're a
Speaker 3: competition that said we're not going to spy on Americans.
Speaker 3: Their competition shot up to number one in terms of
Speaker 3: downloaded app So it's pretty clear what's happening here. People
Speaker 3: are uninstalling chat GPT and installing open AI, and I
Speaker 3: think part of that is a pushback against this unpopular war.
Speaker 3: Well a few things I guess that people can do,
Speaker 3: but they may also be worried about the Pentagon and
Speaker 3: the Machiabelian industrial complex. And is continuing his apology tour,
Speaker 3: conceding in a lengthy tweet on Monday that he shouldn't
Speaker 3: have rushed in to the Defense Department deal. He claimed
Speaker 3: that open AI would be altering the terms of the
Speaker 3: deal after the fact. And again they're going to insert
Speaker 3: that word intentionally. What a deceptive guy. Anyway, he's out
Speaker 3: there trying to do damage control. I think that is
Speaker 3: an interesting fallout of all of this stuff. And meanwhile,
Speaker 3: let's look at the economics of war. Trump is offering,
Speaker 3: as I said earlier, he's offering to ensure and to
Speaker 3: provide the tankers as well as to provide military escorts
Speaker 3: for them. As I go around and through the strait
Speaker 3: of her moves, so Trump said the US will immediately
Speaker 3: offer political risk insurance and guarantees. Maybe we can all
Speaker 3: get the federal government to write us an insurance policy
Speaker 3: on nuclear war. How about that that's excluded for most
Speaker 3: of these insurance policies. Maybe we could get the kind
Speaker 3: of insurance policies that Lucky Lutnick and what was the
Speaker 3: other guy's name that had Building seven?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 3: I can't remember his name? Anyway, they named a little
Speaker 3: park after him that's there. He's still alive actually, and
Speaker 3: Sheldon something was it? Anyway, the two of them taking
Speaker 3: out big insurance policies, maybe we could get them to
Speaker 3: take out some insurance policies on this stuff as well.
Speaker 3: You and I will be the underwriters on this stuff.
Speaker 3: Of course, just put it on the bill. It's only
Speaker 3: forty trillion political risk insurance and guarantees for energy tankers
Speaker 3: and other ships in the Gulf region, and that the
Speaker 3: Navy will escort tankers through the straight or her moves
Speaker 3: if needed. Yeah, that won't be a dangerous and vulnerable
Speaker 3: thing for them to do, will it. So he created
Speaker 3: this policy and announced it on truth Social It's an
Speaker 3: amazing I guess, you know. Jefferson Madison Franklin none of
Speaker 3: these guys ever really envisioned that you'd have an autocrat
Speaker 3: single handedly making all these decisions and putting them out
Speaker 3: on some kind of a thing called social media, right
Speaker 3: publishing it there if necessary. The US Navy will begin
Speaker 3: escorting tankers through the Strait of hor Moves as soon
Speaker 3: as possible, he said. No matter what, the US will
Speaker 3: ensure the free flow of energy to the world, all
Speaker 3: upper case right, can even guarantee that. Yeah, just like
Speaker 3: with the budget deficit and all the restless stuff, Trump
Speaker 3: is as usual. He's writing checks that he can't cash
Speaker 3: because I guess is how you bankrupt a casino. You
Speaker 3: don't really know what the odds are with anything that
Speaker 3: you're doing. TPNH and Company said in a note earlier
Speaker 3: Tuesday that skyrocketing shipping at new all time highs and
Speaker 3: insurance rates are a key reason why traffic through the
Speaker 3: Strait of her Moves has largely ground to a halt.
Speaker 3: The conflict is pushing up crude oil and other energy
Speaker 3: commodity prices, already filtering down to US gasoline pumps. The
Speaker 3: nationwide average price for regular gasoline is three dollars eleven
Speaker 3: cents per gallon eleven cent increase over yesterday. Per the
Speaker 3: Triple A crude retreated back slightly over eighty dollars per
Speaker 3: barrel Tuesday afternoon, after hitting eighty five for the first
Speaker 3: time since twenty twenty four earlier in the day. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: we have tankers are burning from the straight oh Hermus
Speaker 3: to the Mediterranean Sea and a spillover of war risks.
Speaker 3: The Times of Malta reports that the Russian flagged LNG
Speaker 3: tanker Arctic metagas metagas. It's like a gas right, but
Speaker 3: it's an LNG tanker. Wouldn't want to be in an
Speaker 3: LNG tanker when a drone hits it, would you? It
Speaker 3: might not be an Arctic traveler anymore, might be a
Speaker 3: little bit warm.
Speaker 2: I think it tropical very fast.
Speaker 3: So Identified as part of Russia's Shadow Fleet, it suffered
Speaker 3: an explosion while transiting the Mediterranean Sea between Malta and Libya.
Speaker 3: Multiple sources told the local paper that experienced a series
Speaker 3: of explosions and that it was a cause of deflagration,
Speaker 3: indications that there was a huge explosion on board. That
Speaker 3: said the explosion was due to a drone attack. In
Speaker 3: a separate report, Reuters also says the LNG tanker may
Speaker 3: have been hit by a drone. The world is seemingly
Speaker 3: at war, with the US Iran conflict choking the critical
Speaker 3: maritime strait of her Moves. Trump announced that the US
Speaker 3: government will provide insurance for quote all maritime trade unquote
Speaker 3: through the US Development Finance Corporation, and will provide naval
Speaker 3: escorts and the straight of her Moves to ensure the
Speaker 3: waterways remain open. This will be a huge expense, folks.
Speaker 3: When you look at the alternative's almost like this is
Speaker 3: an afterthought for him even But when you look at
Speaker 3: the amount of traffic that goes to this I said before,
Speaker 3: compare twenty percent of the world's oil going through the
Speaker 3: Strait of Hormos. Compare that to the trivial Opek embargo.
Speaker 3: By comparison, it was trivial. It had humongous effects globally,
Speaker 3: especially here in America. But this has potential to be
Speaker 3: much much bigger. So hermuz is paralyzed. Another tanker has
Speaker 3: been hit, and we have a floating parking lot of ships. Again,
Speaker 3: these tankers are out in the open water for defense.
Speaker 3: And what does that tell you when you're going to
Speaker 3: send in the navy into this narrow area to navigate.
Speaker 3: It's going to be raising the risk significantly to the
Speaker 3: naval ships. Two days ago, the Iranian regime had eleven
Speaker 3: ships in the Gulf of Oman, bragged US Central Command.
Speaker 3: Today they have zero. The Iranian regime has harassed and
Speaker 3: attacked and they we've taken away their navy, but they
Speaker 3: don't need to have a navy to arrass and attack
Speaker 3: these tankers. They have missiles, they have drones, and again
Speaker 3: when you look at the math US made Patriot air
Speaker 3: defense missiles have been largely successful in stopping the Iranian
Speaker 3: shot heads and other ballistic missiles, with interception rates of
Speaker 3: over ninety percent. However, you're using four million dollar missiles
Speaker 3: to destroy twenty thousand dollars drones. That's a problem. You know,
Speaker 3: we've got all this money. We've got a wealthy country
Speaker 3: that they're now burning that up. You know, there's lighting
Speaker 3: their cigars one thousand dollar bills basically and creating massive
Speaker 3: amounts of debt, a gigantic military budget. We are giving
Speaker 3: money and equipment to all these other countries so they
Speaker 3: can have wars, and we are using we talk about
Speaker 3: asymmetric warfare. There's an economic aspect of that as well.
Speaker 3: Use a four million dollar missile to take down a
Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars drone, and then you're using these anti
Speaker 3: ballistic missile systems that require three missiles, three anti missile
Speaker 3: missiles for each missile that you take down. They are expensive,
Speaker 3: they're more complicated to make. We've got ourselves on the
Speaker 3: wrong side of the equation here, don't you think what's
Speaker 3: really going on with the Pentagon planners? This is an
Speaker 3: empire that is rotten and ready to collapse financially as
Speaker 3: well as strategically. What's the strategy here? You know, what's
Speaker 3: the plan? They don't have one. So the Western military
Speaker 3: planners quote unquote, Yeah, the cheap weapons can chew up
Speaker 3: resources meant for much more complex threats. Yeah, they they
Speaker 3: really haven't planned this thing through. Since the star of
Speaker 3: the war, the US has intercepted hundreds of ballistic missiles
Speaker 3: targeting US forces are partners and regional stability. The intercepts
Speaker 3: are success. They prevented the missiles from striking their targets,
Speaker 3: but they also come at the cost of pricey, high
Speaker 3: tech interceptors that are in very short supply. The link
Speaker 3: to the conflict is a factor in affecting how many
Speaker 3: interceptors will be needed, and it's currently unclear how long
Speaker 3: that will last. As they say, everybody's got a plan
Speaker 3: until you get punched in the face and then that
Speaker 3: all goes out the window. But these guys before they
Speaker 3: even got punched in the face, didn't have a plan,
Speaker 3: They didn't have a way, they didn't have enough ammunition
Speaker 3: and allies to pull this thing off. Really, I mean,
Speaker 3: it's I'm looking at this and doesn't make any sense anyway.
Speaker 3: Trump has referred to this as a multi week war,
Speaker 3: although the President said Monday that we're already substantially ahead
Speaker 3: of our time projections. Maybe they're ahead of their consumption
Speaker 3: of these missiles now. One of the things they say
Speaker 3: in terms of how this stuff matches up, I already
Speaker 3: talked about the production rates one hundred missiles per month
Speaker 3: versus six to seven interceptors. But you need two or
Speaker 3: three interceptors per missile, So they really need to keep
Speaker 3: this sequel. They need to be producing about two or
Speaker 3: three hundred interceptors per month, which they're not doing. But
Speaker 3: Iran is estimated by Israel to have twenty five hundred
Speaker 3: ballistic missiles already have we got seventy five hundred of
Speaker 3: these interceptors in storage or maybe more, because we're going
Speaker 3: to be running that down at a much much faster rate,
Speaker 3: and so production simply cannot keep pace with the man.
Speaker 3: Every theater from Europe, Dandosch Pacific at least has an
Speaker 3: acute need of more missile defense launchers interceptors, and the
Speaker 3: US is simply consuming them faster than it can replace them.
Speaker 3: And we are consuming everything in this country faster than
Speaker 3: it can be replaced. So again it's the three to
Speaker 3: one ratio that is really important about this. The US
Speaker 3: fired about one hundred and fifty FAD interceptors just last
Speaker 3: June to defend Israel during a twelve day war against Iran.
Speaker 3: Those weapons are the highest end ground based missile defense
Speaker 3: system in the American inventory. That's what Trump was saying. Well,
Speaker 3: we're really good in terms of low and the mid
Speaker 3: high stuff. We just don't have the high end stuff. Well,
Speaker 3: that's the stuff that they were actually using the most.
Speaker 3: Each interceptor costs about fifteen million dollars, but only a
Speaker 3: few dozen were purchased last year. That's under the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: They were not purchasing these missiles. So they've been planning
Speaker 3: to do this, but they didn't want to buy the
Speaker 3: missiles that they're going to need to defend themselves. Again,
Speaker 3: we're being led by a ship of fools. It's as crazy.
Speaker 3: The cost of firing hundreds of them, as well as
Speaker 3: other types of interceptors is enormous. In April of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, Bloomberg reported that it probably cost Israel, as
Speaker 3: well as the American, British, French, and Jordanian air forces
Speaker 3: about one point one billion dollars to foil missile and
Speaker 3: drone attacks from Iran. And that was just for a
Speaker 3: few hours of work. This is going to be much larger.
Speaker 3: The US and Israeli militaries will try to reduce a
Speaker 3: number of missiles and launchers that Iran had available, and
Speaker 3: will try to kill top commanders to prevent their use.
Speaker 3: They have thousands of missiles and drones. This is now
Speaker 3: an all out war for their survival, but not for
Speaker 3: US evidently, right. So Trump is angry at Spain, vousd
Speaker 3: to cut off all trade with them, very very uncoperative
Speaker 3: over the base refused for Irun attacks, He says, again,
Speaker 3: more tariff tantrums, more ego politics, not geopolitics, declaiming that
Speaker 3: he was going to cut off all trade with Spain
Speaker 3: and denouncing Prime Minister Kier Starmer as no Winston Churchill.
Speaker 3: Trump became visibly angry during his sit down with German
Speaker 3: Chancellor Fred Mertz. He said, they're going to have to
Speaker 3: have some explaining to do, right Lucy. Trump became visibly
Speaker 3: angry during his sit down. He also had harsh words
Speaker 3: for Starmer, showing a strain in the relationship with the UK.
Speaker 3: This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 3: This government does not believe in regime change. From the skies, however,
Speaker 3: said Kier Starmer, and that is making him more popular,
Speaker 3: just like Claude. So Claude and Kerr. If you Trump
Speaker 3: is so incredibly unpopular, This war is so incredibly unpopular
Speaker 3: that anybody that pushes back against it is going to
Speaker 3: be to their advantage. Mark you, Mark, thank you for
Speaker 3: the Tippy says we now have the APKWS, a drone
Speaker 3: killing missile that costs about thirty thousand dollars each.
Speaker 2: Well, the British.
Speaker 3: Have been demonstrating a directed energy weapon that is really
Speaker 3: really cheap that would flip the advantage. That would put
Speaker 3: an end to the production issues if they deploy that,
Speaker 3: and it also put an end to this asymmetric financial
Speaker 3: warfare that we're talking about as well. Things are going
Speaker 3: to change very very rapidly. They always do during war.
Speaker 3: And the key issue, though, is not really about that.
Speaker 3: It gives us a glimpse into the preparation and forethought
Speaker 3: that went into this. They have been thinking about this
Speaker 3: and wanting to do this, but they haven't really laid
Speaker 3: the groundwork to accomplish it. They're going to have to
Speaker 3: improvise on the way. It wasn't sufficient planning. That's the
Speaker 3: key issue I think we can take away from this,
Speaker 3: and then of course there's also the issue of whether
Speaker 3: it is morally justified to start wars, which is what
Speaker 3: we're doing. So Trump is pushed back on Megan Kelly
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson saying again, Maga is Trump. I am MAGA.
Speaker 3: They are not MAGA. I said, Maga wants to see
Speaker 3: our country thrive and be safe. Maga loves what I'm doing,
Speaker 3: every aspect of it. Talking about Megan Kelly said she
Speaker 3: was critical of me for years and I didn't lose.
Speaker 3: I won all three times by a lot, suggesting, as
Speaker 3: he had previously, that he would have a twenty one
Speaker 3: twenty reelection if he had not been rigged. He said,
Speaker 3: Megan was opposed to me for years when I ran
Speaker 3: the first time, and nothing stopped me. So you know,
Speaker 3: some people are against and they always come back. She
Speaker 3: came all the way back. But now I guess she
Speaker 3: maybe doesn't like the idea of this war, but I
Speaker 3: do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of
Speaker 3: the hands of the Iranians. Trump said the cross and
Speaker 3: can say whatever he wants, it has no impact on me. Well,
Speaker 3: all I can say is that, you know, I never
Speaker 3: had any interaction with with Tucker Cralson personally. I did
Speaker 3: with Megan Kelly when she went to Info Wars, and
Speaker 3: I thought she was the essence of what you typically
Speaker 3: see with these celebrity model presenters. She hadn't a clue
Speaker 3: as to what was going on about anything, she had
Speaker 3: never even heard of, and certainly didn't even care when
Speaker 3: I explained it to her what civil asset forfeiture was,
Speaker 3: and she set us down and interviewed us individually. When
Speaker 3: she's done the hit piece on Alex and you know,
Speaker 3: she asked me some questions about where I was and stuff,
Speaker 3: and said, well, I certainly don't like Trump. And I
Speaker 3: gave that as the very first thing that came to mind,
Speaker 3: because this is before twenty twenty, and she had never
Speaker 3: just you know, blank Slaton, never heard.
Speaker 2: Of what civil asset forfeiture. It's like, you're a lawyer.
Speaker 2: I think she's got a law degree, and she didn't
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 3: Well in terms of the cluster munitions that were there,
Speaker 3: as I pointed out people showing the incoming missiles that
Speaker 3: were there, and evidently this is a real a real
Speaker 3: video of what's happening, what happened in Jerusalem with an attack,
Speaker 3: this particular one right here. Person wrote here, this is
Speaker 3: from Richard Rick w E one two three. Israeli experts
Speaker 3: are now sounding the alarm Ronnie and cluster missiles can
Speaker 3: split into as many as eighty sub missiles, hitting multiple
Speaker 3: targets simultaneously. They're calling it an unprecedented weapon. The biggest
Speaker 3: question is how did ron get its hands on such
Speaker 3: technology in a country where scientists are constantly being assassinated.
Speaker 3: It's hard to ignore the possibility that China and Russia
Speaker 3: handed this deadly know how straight to Tehran.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we.
Speaker 3: Talked about before this happened, we talked about their ship
Speaker 3: killing missile that was supersonic that China had, travels right
Speaker 3: over the surface of the water at the supersonic sounds
Speaker 3: and then does a zigzagging approach just before it hits
Speaker 3: the target. They had been working since Trump attacked them
Speaker 3: last summer. They had been working to secure those from China.
Speaker 3: Not clear whether or not they got those before Trump
Speaker 3: attacked again. The timing of the attack was dictated by
Speaker 3: net Yahoo, not about readiness, and so it's really not
Speaker 3: clear whether they have those yet or whether they will
Speaker 3: acquire them. We will have to wait and see what
Speaker 3: happens with it. We're going to take a quick break, folks,
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 10: Whether you're feeling like the booze or bluegrass, APS Radio
Speaker 10: has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels

Speaker 3: Well, one of the dumbest and most dishonest of the
Speaker 3: Trump regime was taking incoming fire yesterday and taking it
Speaker 3: from her own side. It was friendly fire. Supposely it's coming.
Speaker 3: Some of the hardest questions came from Republicans of christineom
Speaker 3: She did not retract calling us as that were killed
Speaker 3: by the ICE agents. She called them domestic terrorists. She
Speaker 3: would not take that back. They came after her for
Speaker 3: a number of things, and again she, like Trump, doesn't
Speaker 3: shy away from telling people bull face lies, for which
Speaker 3: video exists. Dick Durbin pressed her on why Renee Good
Speaker 3: and Alex Pretty were falsely labeled as domestic terrorists following
Speaker 3: their killing. She didn't take back the statements about them,
Speaker 3: but she said that the ICE officers face a quote
Speaker 3: dangerous environment unquote and threats. When asked what information she
Speaker 3: got to deem them as domestic terrorists, she said her
Speaker 3: agency relied on information provided by agents on the ground,
Speaker 3: and so they came after her for a number of issues.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know the.
Speaker 3: Spokesperson who was always making these absurd statements as well,
Speaker 3: it turns out that her family is involved in a
Speaker 3: little bit of corruption, and that was also exposed in
Speaker 3: these hearings. Must find that that's the wrong.
Speaker 11: One r US government website that says that contract for
Speaker 11: one hundred and forty three million dollars was in no
Speaker 11: big contract public documentation says the contract of one hundred
Speaker 11: and forty three million dollars went to the Safe America
Speaker 11: company created eleven days before they got an award. That
Speaker 11: company then subcontracted with the Strategy Group. And you are
Speaker 11: familiar with many of the principles in the Strategy Group, correct,
Speaker 11: I know one of them, mister Yoho.
Speaker 8: Yes, and let me.
Speaker 2: Tell you a photograph. That's Yoho Yoho.
Speaker 11: Standing next to you.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 11: Yes, Now, mister Yoho is also the husband of your
Speaker 11: former a spokesperson.
Speaker 2: Is that correct? Yeah, she was telling one lie after
Speaker 2: the other.
Speaker 11: Yes, your former secretary, your former assistant secretary, and her
Speaker 11: husband are the ones that got the subcontract from Safe
Speaker 11: America or from from the from Safe America. That's what
Speaker 11: the record shows. Any dispute about that, No, except.
Speaker 8: There was no politicals myself or anyone else besides career
Speaker 8: employees who are a part of that process picking out
Speaker 8: those contracts and choosing those vendors.
Speaker 3: It was just a choosing those vendors. I mean, this
Speaker 3: is the company that was put together eleven days before
Speaker 3: your warded the contract, and it happens to be run
Speaker 3: by the husband of a woman who is your chief
Speaker 3: liar and spokesperson who is there.
Speaker 2: Don't tell me.
Speaker 3: They don't pay them well for lying. But of course
Speaker 3: there are other things as well. You had one of
Speaker 3: the guys hold up. There was on a lot of media,
Speaker 3: they're showing the Mile High Club. She's got this luxury
Speaker 3: jet she flies around with. Of course the all to
Speaker 3: talk about her and Corey Lewandowski. They've got a massive
Speaker 3: bed in this luxury jet. We well, we just we're
Speaker 3: going to be fixing it up, you know, it's a
Speaker 3: fixer upper. And then you've got Tom Tillis. He says,
Speaker 3: I'm going to get answers from her. He wants her
Speaker 3: out of there. Tom Tillis is a Republican congressman from
Speaker 3: North Carolina. I never liked Tom Tillis because of his
Speaker 3: toll road taxes that he put in. But Tom Tillis
Speaker 3: is after Christine Home. He says he's going to basically
Speaker 3: shut down the Senate, and of course, according to the rules,
Speaker 3: one senator can do that, you know, they can refuse
Speaker 3: to allow them to move forward. He's going to block
Speaker 3: various committees and everything if he doesn't get that. And
Speaker 3: he's not the only Republican that was after her either
Speaker 3: he had Senator Kennedy from Louisiana was coming after, or
Speaker 3: the whoppers that she was telling one after the other.
Speaker 3: It was an interesting thing to see. He scold her.
Speaker 3: He said, terribly awkward. You spent two hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: million dollars on dhs ads that featured you in this
Speaker 3: vanity product project, and that's what Kennedy was saying. Well,
Speaker 3: that's it for today. Thank you for joining us the
Speaker 3: common man. They created common Core and dumbed down our children.
Speaker 3: They created common Past to track and control us. They're
Speaker 3: Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and
Speaker 3: the communist future. They see the common man as simple,
Speaker 3: unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
Speaker 3: created in the image of God.
Speaker 2: That is what we have in common.
Speaker 3: That is what they want to take away. Their most
Speaker 3: powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
Speaker 3: everything about us, while they hide everything from us. It's
Speaker 3: time to turn that around.
Speaker 2: And expose what they want.
