Speaker 1: Using free speech to free minds.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 1: As the clock strikes thirteen, we gather for the David
Speaker 1: Knight Show. Welcome to the program. One in all, I'm
Speaker 1: Gardner Goldsmith, sitting in for David Knight on this beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful December twenty seventh Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: and we're getting together on a special program because many
Speaker 1: people are coming back from Christmas time, and I hope
Speaker 1: you had an absolutely fantastic Christmas. On this program today,
Speaker 1: we'll be discussing a lot of breaking stories that might
Speaker 1: have slipped past a lot of folks because they were
Speaker 1: with family, with friends, going to church and enjoying Christmas.
Speaker 1: And we'll recap some of those items and get your
Speaker 1: opinions on Rumble, on rockfin on Odyssey, on d Live,
Speaker 1: and of course on David Knights ex at Libertarian Liberty Arian.
Speaker 1: I'm Gardner Goldsmith and you might know my work from MRCTV.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us if you're coming over from there,
Speaker 1: And of course Liberty Conspiracy Monday through Friday at six
Speaker 1: pm Eastern Time. But I always say whatever time zone
Speaker 1: you call home is okay with me. Thank you very
Speaker 1: much for being here as I get to fill in
Speaker 1: for David in an absolutely wonderful day here in the
Speaker 1: deepest part of Russia where we spread the Russian propaganda
Speaker 1: that is our business. Here, my brain chip receiver is
Speaker 1: working very well, and Vladimir Putin is speaking to me
Speaker 1: giving me all the instructions. Yes, he's written in cyrillic
Speaker 1: to me. I hope you have a great, great rest
Speaker 1: of the day, and let's get started. We've got much
Speaker 1: to discuss. I want to welcome everyone, and if you're
Speaker 1: watching on X, you can give us your comments inside
Speaker 1: X and the Russian team can post your comments on
Speaker 1: the screen. Also, you can watch us on Rumble and
Speaker 1: on Rockfinn And don't forget while I get to fill
Speaker 1: in for David coming over from the Liberty Conspiracy or MRCTV,
Speaker 1: I want to remind you that you can donate to
Speaker 1: the David Night Show. This is how his program works
Speaker 1: and it works well thanks to you. Go to the
Speaker 1: David Knight Show store and check everything out there, because
Speaker 1: there's some great items and the Christmas Night album is great.
Speaker 1: It's so much, so much fundless to so heartwarming and
Speaker 1: it's just amazing his talent and integrity. So thanks for
Speaker 1: being here, everybody. I'm honored to be filling in for David.
Speaker 1: Had a little abbreviated theme there, and we're going to
Speaker 1: get started right away. We've got a lot to cover,
Speaker 1: to recap after Christmas. And in fact, on my program,
Speaker 1: what I often do is I show a little billboard
Speaker 1: on what we're going to be discussing that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So we'll do that and we'll play little music here
Speaker 1: and there, maybe some Christmas music. I'm in my Christmas sweater.
Speaker 1: The theme is still with me, the season is still
Speaker 1: with me. So let's see what's on tap for the
Speaker 1: David Night Show Friday, December twenty seventh, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: What a beautiful time of the year. Anytime is great.
Speaker 1: As Jason Barker of Nights of the Storm says, any
Speaker 1: day is Christmas Day for me. So I love that.
Speaker 1: That's a great sentiment well today on the program. In fact,
Speaker 1: on my show, I should mention. On my show, I
Speaker 1: often have tonight on there and I'll say tonight tonight
Speaker 1: tonight like Genesis. But I can't do that today, and
Speaker 1: I use it as a way to actually make sure
Speaker 1: that the Russian team is able to get the audio
Speaker 1: from computer to going through to you and you give
Speaker 1: the five by five and so on, and so I
Speaker 1: can't do that because it's not Genesis singing tonight tonight tonight.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we even have other musicians sneak through on this.
Speaker 1: So let's see if we have some other guest musicians
Speaker 1: stopping by. Yes, I get it. It's Genesis with Humpty
Speaker 1: d a special guest. Just let me know if you've
Speaker 1: got the audio. Okay, we'll check in on the five
Speaker 1: y five. And I see already the Russian team is
Speaker 1: telling me we have commenters over on X populating X.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Everybody I can't believe is there. That
Speaker 1: is his nom de guerre. And we've also got good morning,
Speaker 1: guard Glad, Glad, I'm here. Glad, I'm glad, I'm here.
Speaker 1: Putin I think is what it says. Martin Thorn. Thank
Speaker 1: you Martin, and happy morning to you, my friend. Great
Speaker 1: to see you there. And I've got something else there
Speaker 1: and I'm not quite sure what that is, but you
Speaker 1: can check out the link if you want to over
Speaker 1: there on X. And I also want to say hi
Speaker 1: to the great rock fan crowd and the Rumble crowd
Speaker 1: and everybody who goes to visit after the fact. If
Speaker 1: you do get the chance, check out David Knight's gab
Speaker 1: feed because he posts the whole team at the David
Speaker 1: Knight Show, posts the shows and segments and the entire
Speaker 1: shows and audios as well, and you can check that
Speaker 1: out on his gab. Lots of people follow David on
Speaker 1: gab and of course on his ex at Liberty Terarian,
Speaker 1: lots of people follow him there. And I want to
Speaker 1: say hello to Octo Spook and Karen Carpenter and Greg
Speaker 1: Talent and so many of the wonderful folks who are
Speaker 1: Oh dougalug Hi dougal ug are populating rock Fann what
Speaker 1: a great home, as well as all the folks over
Speaker 1: at Rumble. I always say it looks like fruit stripe
Speaker 1: gum at Rumble, all the colors and it gets me
Speaker 1: thinking of those wonderful flavors of fruit stripe gum. So
Speaker 1: let's look at what is on tap today. At ten
Speaker 1: thirty we're going to be joined by Eric Peters of
Speaker 1: Eric petersautos dot com. I highly recommend going to Eric's
Speaker 1: website every morning. Maybe it's over breakfast, or it's at lunch,
Speaker 1: or maybe you're just hanging out waiting somewhere in some
Speaker 1: government line, a line created by government, And who knows,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of lines that are created by government.
Speaker 1: We might not even realize it, like the waiting line
Speaker 1: to get nitrogen fertilizer or a baby formula, those lines,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of like Frederick Bassia, the economist from
Speaker 1: the nineteenth century in France, said, it is what is
Speaker 1: seen and what is not seen, the opportunities lost due
Speaker 1: to government. Well, what are our opportunities today? On the program,
Speaker 1: we'll start things off with the Big Story, recapping post
Speaker 1: Christmas stories and Christmas stories. A couple major ones that
Speaker 1: are breaking just over the past day that David didn't
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to discuss with you yesterday Live. So
Speaker 1: I want to give you one of the major ones
Speaker 1: that has a bearing on the socialistic welfare state in
Speaker 1: the United States. That one of the major domestic policies
Speaker 1: that started up under FDR. And if you can guess it,
Speaker 1: throw it into the chat. Yes, it's you might call
Speaker 1: it a Ponzi scheme. That'll give you a hint. And
Speaker 1: then we'll look at do Trumper's adore Donald so much
Speaker 1: that they blind themselves to the latest evidence of his
Speaker 1: errors and the legacy of them. I've got some samples
Speaker 1: that I showed on my streaming show on Liberty Conspiracy
Speaker 1: last night at six o'clock Monday through Friday. Check us
Speaker 1: out at Rumbull and Rockvin and my ex is at
Speaker 1: Guard Goldsmith. That's at Guard Goldsmith. But on Liberty Conspiracy
Speaker 1: last night, we checked it out and I thought there
Speaker 1: was some terri observations from the folks in the chats,
Speaker 1: and hopefully I had some salient observations as well, so
Speaker 1: let me know. I didn't want to attack this person
Speaker 1: too much, but I thought what he was saying about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was sort of emblematic of how people will.
Speaker 1: They've pulled their blinders over their eyes and are just
Speaker 1: counting on one guy to do so much. And to me,
Speaker 1: that reflects a really dangerous position of so much collectivism
Speaker 1: that has arisen on the United States system like tarnish
Speaker 1: on silver over the years, just layer upon layer, strata
Speaker 1: upon strata of collectivism that even many conservatives except, and
Speaker 1: now they want the one guy to fix everything. You know,
Speaker 1: I might be going a little bit too far. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm being unfair, but we'll see. We'll talk about Trump's
Speaker 1: Christmas message and whether or not it lacks or has
Speaker 1: any sort of authenticity or any believability, look at the
Speaker 1: chaos in Syria. We'll also i know, also connected to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, which many people don't want to discuss, and
Speaker 1: we'll also discuss and I'll show you on an MRCTV video.
Speaker 1: The reactions on YouTube are a perfect example of it.
Speaker 1: It's an exercise in societal blindness. I think in many cases,
Speaker 1: not to say that I am blessed with any sort
Speaker 1: of great insight, but I have a different viewpoint and
Speaker 1: I think they're not seeing what I'm seeing. So we'll
Speaker 1: look at ABC avoiding the New York City that should
Speaker 1: be New York City subway murder by fire, while the
Speaker 1: immigration issue grows more intense, give me some breaking news
Speaker 1: on that, and we'll look at climate cult fascism. I
Speaker 1: discussed this on the program last night. And there's a
Speaker 1: new piece that I got to write for MRCTV and
Speaker 1: it's out there, and I want to thank the editors.
Speaker 1: I don't think they changed anything in that piece. It
Speaker 1: just went so smoothly. It was so much fun to do,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it's about a very troubling subject again, the
Speaker 1: rise of fascism in the United States and how they
Speaker 1: steer people's behavior and habits by getting the Central Bank
Speaker 1: funding and then sending that money out for their special favors.
Speaker 1: So thanks everybody for being here on the David Night Show.
Speaker 1: And I hope my attire is okay. I was gonna
Speaker 1: wear my jacket, but I thought, no, you know, it's
Speaker 1: holiday time, It's Christmas time. They even gave me a
Speaker 1: Christmas hat from TD Bank. I know one of my
Speaker 1: old high school friends works there, and so I hope
Speaker 1: that you are ready for a terrific day, and I
Speaker 1: hope that your Christmas time was very, very special. And
Speaker 1: I do highly recommend David's record. It is just Christmas
Speaker 1: Night is just so good. It's really good. He's got
Speaker 1: amazing talent. So thanks for being there, everybody. Let's get
Speaker 1: started and let's discuss, as Joe Piscopal would say from
Speaker 1: New Jersey, the big story, story to big stories.
Speaker 3: Stop, big story, big story.
Speaker 1: Yes, I used to do impressions of Joe because we
Speaker 1: both had curly hair. What is the big story. Well,
Speaker 1: we've got a couple big stories actually, so let me
Speaker 1: give you the first one, which is a breaking story,
Speaker 1: and it has to do with how people want something
Speaker 1: off of other people. And for that I often play
Speaker 1: something like Gimme, Gimme Gimme by Black Flag, which is
Speaker 1: pretty intense for a morning time on the David Knight Show.
Speaker 1: But I also play another song by a band from Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: It's a little intro theme called Gimme, Gimme, Gimme some
Speaker 1: the Sons of Hercules. I'm a man can gain.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna told your bands got you yon the rack man?
Speaker 5: I think I'm down.
Speaker 3: Damn yowl.
Speaker 2: Na be, damn.
Speaker 1: It get its O give me give me.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be.
Speaker 3: Indeed, I haven't got.
Speaker 1: If you're ever, If you're ever in San Antonio, Texas,
Speaker 1: check out the Sons of Hercules. They are fantastic. I
Speaker 1: love the name of the band. And I saw them
Speaker 1: at this thing called the Vegas Shakedown and it was
Speaker 1: a bunch of garage rock bands, and I tell you, boy,
Speaker 1: it was great. Their lead singers this six foot five
Speaker 1: I've American Indian Italian guy and he has like the
Speaker 1: old sixties mop top hair and he's just there's a documentary.
Speaker 1: Someone's making a documentary that's gonna be coming out at
Speaker 1: the beginning of next year about the sons of Hercules.
Speaker 1: Can't recommend him more highly. That album is called Hits
Speaker 1: for the Misses. It's great, So gimme, gimme, gimme some
Speaker 1: well at the at the expense of drawing out Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: the guess is too long. Let's go with you got it.
Speaker 1: It's social security, social security, Yes, the Social Security Wink
Speaker 1: Wink Fairness Act. They passed it. They passed the so
Speaker 1: called bipartisans So you know it's gonna be great. Both
Speaker 1: wings of the of the of the vulture have come
Speaker 1: down and they they swooped down towards you. So you
Speaker 1: know the delivery of this parasitic thing has got to
Speaker 1: be fun. Well. Unfortunately, no, because of course FDR started
Speaker 1: the social security system. It's unconstitutional for those people who
Speaker 1: sign on to the constitution, they claim it has authority
Speaker 1: over anybody. It doesn't have authority over me. I didn't
Speaker 1: sign it. That's just you know, I can't sign commands
Speaker 1: to say I've got a group of people and we're
Speaker 1: going to have control over you and we've written a
Speaker 1: piece of paper. But for the politicians who swear the
Speaker 1: oath to abide by it, maybe they might want to
Speaker 1: read it once in a while, or at least if
Speaker 1: they've read it, they might want to actually have the
Speaker 1: integrity to abide by their oh's well, social Security, of course,
Speaker 1: with FDR a big gimme. It was a Ponsi scheme
Speaker 1: from the start. The first year social Security began. The
Speaker 1: first woman who got her Social Security benefits got more
Speaker 1: than she paid into it. And this is just another
Speaker 1: cartoonish manifestation of it. Why because as I suspected when
Speaker 1: I first saw this, I saw that it was for
Speaker 1: public workers who don't pay. These particular workers don't pay
Speaker 1: Social Security taxes. It's not drawn from their income, So
Speaker 1: like the Earned income tax credit, this is actually money
Speaker 1: that is just being handed to people. So here's the story.
Speaker 1: It's one of these little little slide show things. It
Speaker 1: starts with the picture of Rand Paul. So of course
Speaker 1: we can always ask why does Ran Paul's wife have
Speaker 1: stock and Rendeze beer. But Congress series, I do love
Speaker 1: I do love his Festivus list, and I'm friends with him.
Speaker 1: I haven't spoken them for quite a while, but he
Speaker 1: approached me before he ran for Senate. We were at
Speaker 1: the Green Dragon Inn in Boston at the very first
Speaker 1: tea party since the tea parties that sort of brought
Speaker 1: things back. And we were at the that's where the
Speaker 1: Sons of Liberty did all their plotting, you know, Sam
Speaker 1: Adams and all those guys. And it was the Green
Speaker 1: Dragon and they've moved it in Boston. It's about one
Speaker 1: hundred feet from where it originally stood, but it's essentially
Speaker 1: the same building. And he said, do you think I
Speaker 1: should run for Senate? And I was like, I don't know, Rand,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And we used to talk on the
Speaker 1: phone because his dad was friends with my dad. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I interviewed Rand when his father was running.
Speaker 1: And after the interview we walked out of the radio station.
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, did your father know my dad? And
Speaker 1: we start talking and he's like, yeah, your dad was
Speaker 1: Paul Goldsmith, right, And I was like, yeah, how'd you
Speaker 1: know that? He goes, yeah, yeah, they were friends. So
Speaker 1: I haven't I haven't met Ron. Well here's the story.
Speaker 1: Congress passed this thing called the Bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act,
Speaker 1: So you know, it's got to be absolutely palatable despite
Speaker 1: opposition from some Republicans some there you go, gop Ars,
Speaker 1: I know, you know that there are lots of rhinos,
Speaker 1: but this is just ridiculous, and I think it's a
Speaker 1: manifestation of so much of the normalcy bias that people's
Speaker 1: people have. When they hear about this, they say, well,
Speaker 1: of course these people aren't going to get their social Security. No,
Speaker 1: it's not THEIRS, it's not THEIRS. In fact, the social
Speaker 1: security people are receiving now isn't actually THEIRS. It's taken
Speaker 1: from younger people because it's all drawn away to put
Speaker 1: into the larger budget. The bill repeals the windfall elimination
Speaker 1: provision that's from the eighties, that was during the Reagan administration.
Speaker 1: And I discussed this on Liberty Conspiracy when it was
Speaker 1: before it was to hit a final vote. And so
Speaker 1: what they did was they said, well, these government employees
Speaker 1: don't have to pay their social Security, their social security,
Speaker 1: so why should they be getting Social Security benefits for
Speaker 1: something they haven't paid. Yeah, how about that, Well it
Speaker 1: goes towards the first year of social Security. Again. For
Speaker 1: more than forty years, these two laws have reduced benefits
Speaker 1: for approximately two point eight million public service employees. You
Speaker 1: see the way that they frame this. The legislation passed
Speaker 1: both chambers of Congress. That's the way they frame it. Okay,
Speaker 1: But the the Congressional Budget Office estimated that this is
Speaker 1: going to cost one hundred and ninety billion dollars over
Speaker 1: the next decade in a nation that already has thirty
Speaker 1: six trillion in debt. So for those retired government, they're
Speaker 1: already government parasites. They already work as government employees, and
Speaker 1: they call them things like first responders. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: police officers are not first responders. Statistically, armed civilians are
Speaker 1: first responders. And as much as I appreciate many of
Speaker 1: my friends who are police officers, I don't see logically, philosophically,
Speaker 1: or morally that working for a system that tells people
Speaker 1: they must pay for their own protection or else armed
Speaker 1: thugs are going to come to their house and take
Speaker 1: them away or take away their house. I don't see
Speaker 1: that as protection, do you who? No, I call that
Speaker 1: a protection racket. It's not good one hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: billion dollars over the next decade to go to people
Speaker 1: who didn't have that amount of money drawn from their
Speaker 1: salaries in the first place. It's a gimme, and the
Speaker 1: Congress passed it, so you might want to check in
Speaker 1: to see how your congressperson or Senate person voted on that,
Speaker 1: because it's not good and Ran Paul spoke out against it.
Speaker 1: Here is what he said before passing the legislation. Paul warned,
Speaker 1: it speeds the bankruptcy of Social Security. Social Security is
Speaker 1: due to go bankrupt in twenty thirty four. That's just
Speaker 1: from demographics. It's already being drawn from like the vampires
Speaker 1: of DC will do. This will speed it up by
Speaker 1: a year or so. It's two hundred billion dollars added
Speaker 1: to a program that is already short of money. And
Speaker 1: he added, and if you're going to add to its
Speaker 1: mandate by expanding it, you should pay for it. Well, look,
Speaker 1: they're very busy trying to buy weapons for the military
Speaker 1: industrial complex or give other nation states money to buy
Speaker 1: weapons from the military industrial complex. So who am I
Speaker 1: to complain? Right, it's all in there in the Article
Speaker 1: eight thousand of the Constitution. I read it one time
Speaker 1: in the back of a cereal box. Oh it's dark laughter,
Speaker 1: it's dark laughter. But let's do a quick recap of
Speaker 1: a couple of the items that have come up since
Speaker 1: Christmas and during Christmas. Actually, so Christmas Day and the
Speaker 1: day after. Let's discuss a couple of the major stories.
Speaker 1: I want to offer these to you to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this, because there are a couple that I'd
Speaker 1: like to bring back, and one of them actually has
Speaker 1: a direct bearing on Christmas as we celebrate it in society,
Speaker 1: and I think it reflects something about society that perhaps
Speaker 1: just like the acceptance of social Security is if that
Speaker 1: is part of the American tradition, you know, welching off
Speaker 1: of somebody else, having the government take your money for
Speaker 1: your protection when you could have invested it yourself and
Speaker 1: done much better. Ah, yeah, that's okay. And I love
Speaker 1: these people who say they'll change social Security so that
Speaker 1: the social Security money has to be invested in stocks. Well,
Speaker 1: in that case, why don't you again just leave it
Speaker 1: with the people rather than possibly gaming the system and
Speaker 1: investing it in stocks of corporations that are government favored.
Speaker 1: How about that? Well, let's discuss something that is cultural societal.
Speaker 1: And also let's just remember some great work of no
Speaker 1: Illuminati pun intended, great work of David Knight. We're going
Speaker 1: to go with sanfrinitz Son to bring back the memory
Speaker 1: Fred Stanford. He was always on the edge of retirement,
Speaker 1: wasn't he. He was always on the edge of the
Speaker 1: heart attack. It's the big one, Elizabeth. I'm coming with
Speaker 1: his son Lamon. He always called big Dummy Man. That
Speaker 1: was based on a British British television show. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was called Upstairs Downstairs. It's called Doctor Who because
Speaker 1: Fred Sanford's the interior of his junk junk building was
Speaker 1: bigger on the inside than it was on the outside.
Speaker 1: By the way, I flew to England for the return
Speaker 1: of Doctor Who. Flew over to England with a friend
Speaker 1: of mine and because I had friends who were gonna
Speaker 1: start up working on the show. And I was disappointed.
Speaker 1: Nothing nothing touches the Tom Baker era. And then right
Speaker 1: after that as the John Purwey era of Doctor Who.
Speaker 1: And they have just destroyed Doctor Who. It's really really sad.
Speaker 1: It's all about wokeism. Oh, yes, let's talk about that
Speaker 1: cultural stuff here in the United States and the wokism. Yes,
Speaker 1: you might be familiar if you watch the David Knight Show,
Speaker 1: you might be familiar with the fact that David Knight
Speaker 1: got knocked off of YouTube a while back, quite a
Speaker 1: while back, because he produced a fantastic film which was heartwarming.
Speaker 1: It was instructional about the film, It's a Wonderful Life,
Speaker 1: and it was instructional about the lie of the federal reserves,
Speaker 1: central central banking, fractional reserve banking, and the fraud of
Speaker 1: inflation that builds up the money supply and reduces the
Speaker 1: buying power of all the units that are out there,
Speaker 1: makes them all more and more units bidding on items,
Speaker 1: drives off the prices. Very simple causes the boom bus
Speaker 1: cycle and malinvestment because people who get the money at
Speaker 1: low interest will invest in it more recklessly. They'll hire
Speaker 1: new people expecting more demand, and then eventually all the
Speaker 1: prices get bit up, people pull back their spending and
Speaker 1: you get the bust where everything's got to be liquidated,
Speaker 1: like at the end of The Wizard of Oz you
Speaker 1: liquidated Arra. That's an intentional line. So David produced It's
Speaker 1: a Wonderful Lie, and as we know, banned by Google.
Speaker 1: Wonderful Live Federal Reserve the one hundred and eleventh anniversary.
Speaker 1: He put this out a while ago and He showed
Speaker 1: it on the program December twenty third, my niece's birthday.
Speaker 1: He says. The first info Wars video censored by YouTube
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, on the one hundredth anniversary of the
Speaker 1: Shenanigans that passed the Federal Reserve Act, when much of
Speaker 1: the Congress had left for Christmas vacation. Many of the
Speaker 1: actions of JP Morgan were paralleled in It's a Wonderful
Speaker 1: Life by the banker mister Potter. And by the way,
Speaker 1: mister Potter, as I mentioned, was played by I can't
Speaker 1: remember what was that actor. I mentioned it last night
Speaker 1: in the program. I'll think of it later. Selected clips
Speaker 1: used in the commentary are covered under fair use. But
Speaker 1: there's nothing fair about Google, Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore. There's nothing
Speaker 1: fair about Google or YouTube. By the way, the clips
Speaker 1: they claimed copyrights strike on were taken from the entire
Speaker 1: movie that was up on YouTube and remained up even
Speaker 1: after they struck the Info Wars channel. In David's production,
Speaker 1: it had been there for seven years. I remember seeing
Speaker 1: it and had over a million views at the time.
Speaker 1: I might have been one of them who had been watching.
Speaker 1: And so David produced this and it has a reference
Speaker 1: to this cultural item in the news today.
Speaker 6: Over the last one hundred years, the Federal Reserve has
Speaker 6: created bubbles and burst them and slaved us with debt
Speaker 6: and destroyed our purchasing power through inflation. Yes, it's been
Speaker 6: a wonderful lie for the bankers. There are striking parallels
Speaker 6: and frank kaepras. It's a wonderful life to the lies
Speaker 6: and tricks that real bankers use to create the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 7: Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of nineteen
Speaker 7: thirteen in twenty thirteen look and act a lot like
Speaker 7: Potter the banker in the movie. And many Americans are
Speaker 7: left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their
Speaker 7: dreams collapse and they faced financial ruin. Do we live
Speaker 7: in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville
Speaker 7: than Bedford Falls?
Speaker 1: All Right, So there you go. Absolutely wonderful production. The
Speaker 1: story about how it got produced and David's knowledge of
Speaker 1: it is just phenomenal. And so I'd like to add
Speaker 1: something to that because you might have heard about this
Speaker 1: yesterday a few talk radio hosts we're talking and discussing it,
Speaker 1: and I brought it up for discussion on Liberty Conspiracy
Speaker 1: last night six o'clock Monday through Friday on Rubble and
Speaker 1: Rock Fan. And of course you can go to my
Speaker 1: substack too. I should mention the Gardner Goldsman substack because
Speaker 1: the audios are available there. And you can check out
Speaker 1: my Sunday News Assembly every Friday. Now every Sunday. I
Speaker 1: should do that. Sometimes put out a Sunday News Assembly
Speaker 1: on a different day just to mess around, but you
Speaker 1: can check out. I always put out a probably about
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty stories on Sundays that are breaking stories
Speaker 1: with a lot of context from my teaching in philosophy
Speaker 1: and economics and political science and stuff like that. My
Speaker 1: also have a background in scriptwriting and so on, so
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see some cultural stuff there. I won't be
Speaker 1: given any secrets of Star Trek out anytime soon, but
Speaker 1: working at Star Trek Foyager was a lot of fun
Speaker 1: and the Outer Limits was a lot of fun. That
Speaker 1: was great. But Amazon is in the news, and as
Speaker 1: a person who worked in television, this is just this.
Speaker 1: I mean, as a fan of the movie it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful life. This just disgusts me. I don't understand. I
Speaker 1: just okay, So here's the story. We're gonna go over
Speaker 1: to Fox News. Here's the story. Morning Glory. All right.
Speaker 1: Amazon sparks outrage after cunning important scene from film classic
Speaker 1: It's a Wonderful Life. And I thought of some things
Speaker 1: as I was on the air last night, and I
Speaker 1: just thought, well, maybe this is a good analogy. I
Speaker 1: suppose I'll offer them to you. So fans of the
Speaker 1: Christmas class this is insane. I don't even understand. Fans
Speaker 1: of the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life are livid
Speaker 1: over Amazon's abridged version of the movie on its streaming service. Abridged, Like,
Speaker 1: where does that even? Again, I've been in production studios.
Speaker 1: I've been at the tables right as they're forming the
Speaker 1: ideas for shows. I was there at the Outer Limits
Speaker 1: as Brad Wright and some of the other guys started
Speaker 1: the Stargate SG one series, and they were doing interviews
Speaker 1: and stuff and for staff members and things like that,
Speaker 1: and they were heading up Outer Limits. So they started this.
Speaker 1: I've been there, you know, sit there say hmm, you know,
Speaker 1: I really like that story. How can we, you know,
Speaker 1: make an abridged version of it? Hey, hey, writer, thanks
Speaker 1: a lot. Let's just pull the heart out of this. Now.
Speaker 1: I know sometimes they're editorial decisions. That's for the people
Speaker 1: who make the movie. And I know that sometimes some
Speaker 1: people will do things like dubbing out or silencing out
Speaker 1: swear words or something like that. This is a completely
Speaker 1: different ballgame. This is wokeism on acid. They abridged the movie.
Speaker 1: The nineteen forty six hit film, which follows the life
Speaker 1: of businessman and banker George Bailey, sparked outrage after Amazon
Speaker 1: cut a pivotal portion. Like the pivotal portion, otherwise there's
Speaker 1: no meaning for the movie. Amazon's A Bridge version doesn't
Speaker 1: include what many consider the most important scene, known as
Speaker 1: the Pottersville scene, in which George wishes he had never
Speaker 1: been born, prompting his guardian angel to remind him that
Speaker 1: he needs to earn his angel wings. That's Clarence, Clarence
Speaker 1: Clarence right. Outrage fans said the scene sets up the
Speaker 1: rest of the movie exactly. That's the whole point of
Speaker 1: the movie. That's the point of the movie. They said.
Speaker 1: It abruptly jumps between scenes without the full context of
Speaker 1: the story. And I mentioned last night that would be
Speaker 1: like watching Wizard of Oz and what Dorothy goes to
Speaker 1: open the door to the colorful land of Oz after
Speaker 1: the storm. She wakes up. There's the storm, the house
Speaker 1: is a wreck. She opens the door. She's in Oz.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have that. She'd just wake up, look around
Speaker 1: the messed up house, and then you'd see her and
Speaker 1: better again, and all her buddies are there. Hey, how's
Speaker 1: it go there, Dorothy? Why that was some storm last night? Huh,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have the story. The whole point of It's
Speaker 1: a Wonderful Life is in the in the title it's
Speaker 1: a wonderful life. He's going to take his own life,
Speaker 1: and he realizes, through Clarence's help and showing them, what
Speaker 1: life would be like if he weren't there. How all
Speaker 1: these people exist because he helped them, and their lives
Speaker 1: are better and they love him and he loves them.
Speaker 1: And that's the point of the movie. And you know,
Speaker 1: spoilers if you haven't seen it. In the end, he's
Speaker 1: in financial trouble, and his financial trouble because he's tried
Speaker 1: to help so many people, he's over extended himself, and
Speaker 1: Potter is out too aggressively and predatorially take his bank,
Speaker 1: his savings alone away and the next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: all these people who love him, who show how much
Speaker 1: they appreciate him, those local bonds are there and it's wonderful,
Speaker 1: and they come to his rescue, they come to his aid,
Speaker 1: and his wife and his daughter are there, and the
Speaker 1: bell rings and Clarence the Angel has earned his wings.
Speaker 1: It's so heartwarming. How could anybody not like that? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't even understand. It's ridiculous. That would be like
Speaker 1: Rocky going from training to being the champ instantly. The
Speaker 1: whole point of the movie is the process of him
Speaker 1: working to get over the hurdles and overcome things, and
Speaker 1: his relationships with people as he tries and struggles to
Speaker 1: even overcome his own self doubt. It's I mean, gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just ridiculous. So people are really
Speaker 1: really angry about this, and I think appropriately so, and
Speaker 1: it just I think it just serves to remind a
Speaker 1: person about how wonderful that movie is. And I also
Speaker 1: want to bring up while I have the opportunity, because
Speaker 1: I have that clip from David's show that is over
Speaker 1: at his x feed. Remember if you go to the
Speaker 1: at liberty Tarian x feed, you can see a nice
Speaker 1: takeoff of the film. I would add for that he
Speaker 1: produced with CG with Ai that he and the family
Speaker 1: produced to promote at the Davidknightshow dot com store how
Speaker 1: you can pick up his Christmas album and it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful little takeoff of the film. So I want to
Speaker 1: play just a section of this because here in the
Speaker 1: David Knight Show, if I can come in as not
Speaker 1: just a host filling in for David, but someone who
Speaker 1: just offers enthusiastic delight for what David does and what
Speaker 1: the entire team does, and what all the people in
Speaker 1: the chat do. And remember you can contribute as as
Speaker 1: a member of the Goldsmith family to the Ninth Family,
Speaker 1: I say Merry Christmas to you and to all in
Speaker 1: the audience. Here is a sample of what they were
Speaker 1: able to do. It's wonderful.
Speaker 7: I wish I had a Christmas Night album.
Speaker 4: You can get the Christmas Night Album at the Davidnightshow
Speaker 4: dot Com for just thirteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1: There's right in the second.
Speaker 3: Four there say.
Speaker 1: Could you wish jar it? Well, not just one wish,
Speaker 1: a whole hatful.
Speaker 4: First, I'm going to the Davidnightshow dot com and purchase
Speaker 4: the Christmas Night Album. Then I'm gonna listen to Christmas
Speaker 4: classics like.
Speaker 5: Who are you gonna throw it up?
Speaker 8: I want the Christmas Night Album too.
Speaker 4: Hey, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Hello girls, can't you come out to me?
Speaker 9: Can't you come out?
Speaker 10: Come on?
Speaker 7: David's Christmas Night album includes twenty one instrumental Christmas melodies
Speaker 7: like God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, and.
Speaker 1: It's all new. I'll be home for Christmas. What do
Speaker 1: you want? You at the moon? Just say the word
Speaker 1: and I'll throw a glasshole around and pull it down.
Speaker 4: I'll take it and what and then I'll buy you
Speaker 4: your own download of David Knight's Christmas Night Album to.
Speaker 11: The you're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 1: Wonderful stuff from David Knight.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm Guardinger Goldsmith filling in for David, and I want
Speaker 1: to thank everyone who's watching on AX. Please spread the word,
Speaker 1: hit the likes, share as much as possible, and of
Speaker 1: course if you have comments, the Russian team can get
Speaker 1: those comments up on the screen. I also want to
Speaker 1: thank the wonderful folks inside rock finn Iq micro Dodds
Speaker 1: saying howdy, guard thanks for awakening at O dark thirty
Speaker 1: and giving the five y five. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I love the candy icon as well. It's just great.
Speaker 1: And of course Dougalug given the five by five and
Speaker 1: I also want to thank I think it's Sila Sheila
Speaker 1: or Sheila a over on Rumble who offers this comment.
Speaker 1: And I do want to mention if you want to
Speaker 1: donate to the David Knight Show as a fill in host.
Speaker 1: I hope I can engender and entice people to do so,
Speaker 1: that would be great. But a great comment from Shila
Speaker 1: or sheile a over on Rumble. The fruit stripe gum
Speaker 1: colors are jumping over there, they're sparkling. Amazon did that
Speaker 1: about that film on purpose to cause outrage. We are
Speaker 1: in the demoralization phase of the mal revolution, and isn't
Speaker 1: it interesting how cultural icons are the types of things
Speaker 1: that collectivists often try to destroy, especially local flavor, local bonds,
Speaker 1: and replace it with bureaucracy and the larger idea of
Speaker 1: national identity, which oftentimes can't cover all those local things.
Speaker 1: All that becomes homogenized and destroyed for the greater good.
Speaker 1: And I want to get into that next topic actually
Speaker 1: about the greater good and this icon worship of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be too critical, too harsh, because many of these people
Speaker 1: really seem like nice folks, right, And it's not like
Speaker 1: I have any grand enlightenment. I have a different perspective.
Speaker 1: I'm a Christian anarchist. I don't believe that any political
Speaker 1: structure that is formed through coercion and mandates is at
Speaker 1: all ethical, So I oppose all forms of statism. I
Speaker 1: favor voluntarism. In fact, the term voluntarism applies to an anarchist,
Speaker 1: and anarchy is really not what the violent anarchists who
Speaker 1: were really socialists promoted, especially in the United States in
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties nineteen thirties. In the United States and
Speaker 1: in Europe, anarchy is technically, you know, breaking it down,
Speaker 1: anarchy no human ruler, only God. We're all created equally.
Speaker 1: I have no right to claim rule over you. Even
Speaker 1: if I sign a piece of paper with a bunch
Speaker 1: of other people, that doesn't give me any authority. Pieces
Speaker 1: of paper don't give people authority. Voluntary free will and agreements,
Speaker 1: those are what actually bring our bonds together. And as
Speaker 1: the United States, this large hegemonic creature has grown across
Speaker 1: the continent, across so many areas of the economy, and
Speaker 1: into our private lives. I think so many people get
Speaker 1: normalcy bias. They become accustomed to the government controlling many
Speaker 1: of these types of things. And so we have control
Speaker 1: over air routes, we have control over speech on the internet,
Speaker 1: over television waves. None of that stuff is conforms with
Speaker 1: what the founders actually designed. They have something in there
Speaker 1: called the Interstate Commerce Clause. But even James Madison warned people.
Speaker 1: He said, essentially that that is supposed to.
Speaker 6: Be a.
Speaker 1: Remedial clause in the Constitution to allow, if for Congress
Speaker 1: to handle disputes between states over trade problems. So if
Speaker 1: a state was putting up a trade barrier against products
Speaker 1: from another state, they could go to Congress and get
Speaker 1: that fixed. He said, it wasn't to give them control
Speaker 1: over anything that goes over state borders, to regulate anything
Speaker 1: in trade that someone might be selling from one person
Speaker 1: to another. And in fact, you'll see inside the clause,
Speaker 1: states is capitalized, so it only applies to those political bodies.
Speaker 1: So with all these things that have been added up,
Speaker 1: I keep seeing, unfortunately, many conservatives looking to the central
Speaker 1: authority as the fix it man, or, as Monty Python
Speaker 1: would say, bicycle repairman. We're saved, right, everything has to
Speaker 1: come from Donald Trump now. And they're overlooking the fact
Speaker 1: that they themselves call themselves conservatives, and yet many of
Speaker 1: the things that Donald Trump favors, like for example, he
Speaker 1: says he's not going to allow foreign students to criticize
Speaker 1: Israel or even support a peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: In Gaza, for the occupying nation of Israel to stop
Speaker 1: blasting people apart and killing reporters. They killed five reporters yesterday.
Speaker 1: They killed four people near a hospital. All that stuff,
Speaker 1: even if they're foreigners and they call for that. He's
Speaker 1: going to make the universities get rid of them. And
Speaker 1: they're considering deporting those people. So why want a conservative
Speaker 1: rather than applauding that, say, hey, why should you be
Speaker 1: holding the money from the federal government over the universities.
Speaker 1: That's how you're going to make them do it. Why
Speaker 1: don't you allow for real privacy, private property rather than
Speaker 1: legiate fascism, which is what we've got in so many
Speaker 1: areas of the economy, whether it's the green handouts, whether
Speaker 1: it's the you know, climate climate change, whether it's tariffs
Speaker 1: that are going to go towards certain businesses that are
Speaker 1: favored like the dishwashing manufacturers in Ohio with Portman under Trump,
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And tariffs are in the constitution,
Speaker 1: but they're economically bad and they're immoral. They're a form
Speaker 1: of tearor they're a form of taxation. Taxation is wrong.
Speaker 1: It's a way that groups of people try to take
Speaker 1: other people's stuff. That's wrong. It's just baseline wrong. There's
Speaker 1: there's no arguing about saying, well, yeah, but we have
Speaker 1: to fund the government, how are you gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna force people to pay for it. Well, then
Speaker 1: it's wrong, isn't it. You're not gonna come up with
Speaker 1: an answer that says it's right, because then you're justifying
Speaker 1: theft that's incorrect. You just find theft, coercion, extortion, that's
Speaker 1: not right. It's wrong. So I want to show you
Speaker 1: a quick example of a way that American Trump supporters
Speaker 1: seem to forget what Donald Trump has wrought. And this
Speaker 1: is going international, not to Israel and Palestine and Gaza.
Speaker 1: Although Donald Trump a couple weeks ago had dinner with
Speaker 1: Benjamin Netyaho's wife who's up on charges. The wife of
Speaker 1: a man who internationally is being recognized as a person
Speaker 1: who's conducting genocide and is up for war crimes charges
Speaker 1: and would be arrested in many nations, can't even go
Speaker 1: back to Poland. He's not Semitic, he's Eastern European. He
Speaker 1: comes from this family, comes from Poland, net and Yahoo,
Speaker 1: and so he can't go back for the remembrance of
Speaker 1: the Holocaust because the Polish authorities say that they will
Speaker 1: arrest him for what he's doing with his own form
Speaker 1: of a Holocaust in Gaza. And people might look at
Speaker 1: that as inflammatory. Well, you know, anybody I think who's
Speaker 1: been watching this very closely knows the genocide that the
Speaker 1: IDEF has been conducting with our money. And I find
Speaker 1: it repulsive. It's absolutely utterly unacceptable. It's morally, constitutionally, ethically unacceptable.
Speaker 1: So and it's a historic black mark on the United
Speaker 1: States and anybody anybody who supports that in the Congress
Speaker 1: should be ashamed of himself or herself. And Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: I know he's got mental problems, but he's been backing
Speaker 1: this for a long time too. Let's talk about another
Speaker 1: area though, In the area I want to bring up
Speaker 1: to discuss this strange blindness and this hero worship of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is Syria, and I've got a segment from
Speaker 1: RT that I recorded that shows you the chaos that's
Speaker 1: happening in Syria. Let's check this out as they talk
Speaker 1: about this now sectarian violence and even the Alloites who
Speaker 1: are in the area where Asad used to live, they're
Speaker 1: having problems, of course, and they're fighting with each other
Speaker 1: as United States backed forces that at the time that
Speaker 1: the United States was giving them money, they were calling
Speaker 1: them terrorists. This is the group that formed isis the
Speaker 1: Alnustra Front, which is now what is it the It's
Speaker 1: the Hayat Tar al Sham and their leader who used
Speaker 1: to go by al Galani or al Jilani because he
Speaker 1: was born in the Golan Heights, who's now called al Sharha,
Speaker 1: Muhammad Glani Abu Muhammad Galani now Mohammad al Sharha. This
Speaker 1: man was on the most wanted list until last week
Speaker 1: from the United States government. But at the same time
Speaker 1: both Israel and the United States were working with him,
Speaker 1: and the United States was occupying a third of Syria.
Speaker 1: So let's see the chaos that has been wrought not
Speaker 1: just by Joe Biden. And this is where I want
Speaker 1: to go on this hero worship. Let's check out some
Speaker 1: of the chaos in Syria right now. These poor innocent
Speaker 1: civilians who might be there caught up in all of this.
Speaker 1: As Israel moves past the goal on heights, don't know
Speaker 1: how far in they're going to take land, as Turkey
Speaker 1: wants land, as the Kurds in the northeast want their land,
Speaker 1: and of course, as the United States continues to play
Speaker 1: favorites there on.
Speaker 12: The ground in Syria, specifically in the coastal areas of
Speaker 12: Latakia and a tatus Hts, terrorists have clasped with the
Speaker 12: forces of the Ousk president, the country's current militant landed administration.
Speaker 12: Confound that there were casualties.
Speaker 13: Fourteen Interior Ministry personnel were killed and ten others wounded
Speaker 13: after a treacherous ambush by remnants of the criminal regime
Speaker 13: while performing their tasks of maintaining security and safety.
Speaker 12: The majority of the population in the atled regional Ala
Speaker 12: White so the Ethner religious group in the country, which ba.
Speaker 5: Al Asad himself belonged to.
Speaker 12: Syrian American journaist and Rice as steven Sauna leaves. This
Speaker 12: sectarian violence is being incited by third parties.
Speaker 14: In the protests in Shomos in central Syria, there were
Speaker 14: the third party that shot on the protesters and killed
Speaker 14: and injured that that need sure, it took everyone that
Speaker 14: the third party trying to make it a sectarian war,
Speaker 14: and it started immediately. The opposition forces caused started a
Speaker 14: curfew at night about ten eleven o'clock the village of
Speaker 14: the Snod, the suburbs of Latakia.
Speaker 5: The young men in the village captured several.
Speaker 14: Men who had kidnapped a Sydney boy from Latakia, a
Speaker 14: simny young man from Latakia, and they were going to
Speaker 14: kill him and throw him throw his body in that village.
Speaker 14: Uh to uh and for sure to cause a sectarian
Speaker 14: tension between the Alloys and the Sidneys and Latakia. There
Speaker 14: is some revenge killing because it's chaos in the country.
Speaker 5: Uh, it's a big chaos. There is some.
Speaker 14: Individual mistakes, there is, as I told you, And at
Speaker 14: the same time there's a third party trying to killing
Speaker 14: also from Alloyites. Then they kill like a Christians, they
Speaker 14: kill a suddenly there so there is to be as
Speaker 14: I said, there's the third party trying to cause a
Speaker 14: k sectarian war in Syria and unrest, the revenge of course,
Speaker 14: and the there is revenge killing happening because.
Speaker 5: As I as I said, because it is.
Speaker 14: Chaos in Syria, the opposition did not have never, just
Speaker 14: have time to take control as a police and arrest
Speaker 14: all of these people doing all of this.
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll pause that. I think that is
Speaker 1: just you know, one snapshot of one of the things
Speaker 1: that's happening in the Alla White region where Asad had
Speaker 1: grown up, and of course his father had been a
Speaker 1: leader of the country prior to that, and for context.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this on Liberty Conspiracy, but part of my
Speaker 1: scriptwriting when I was working out in Los Angeles because
Speaker 1: of my libertarian connections here in New Hampshire and Ski
Speaker 1: here in Russia. Hampshire Glenn Jacobs, the man who played
Speaker 1: Kine in the w W E and is now mayor
Speaker 1: of Knox County, and Glenn's been on here with me
Speaker 1: when I've filled in for David once. Glenn, great guy.
Speaker 1: Glenn had house just a couple of towns up from here,
Speaker 1: and we met at a libertarian convention where we were
Speaker 1: both speaking, and so I was in La a couple
Speaker 1: of years later, and he said, hey, Guard, you know
Speaker 1: you don't want to get together for dinner. So one
Speaker 1: night we had a real, real nice time, went to
Speaker 1: a sushi place with with Freddy Prinz Junior actually, because
Speaker 1: Freddy's worked doing a lot of things for WWE for
Speaker 1: quite a while and Glenn and Freddy had been friends.
Speaker 1: And Freddy was really nice guy, really really good guy,
Speaker 1: very pro freedom sort of guy. And the things he
Speaker 1: the wonderful things he said about his wife was just great,
Speaker 1: Sarah Michelle Geller, and that was awesome. And then the
Speaker 1: next night we went to dinner at a Middle Eastern
Speaker 1: restaurant and this is around twenty eleven, and the manager,
Speaker 1: I believe, came from Turkey and he came up to
Speaker 1: us later after the dinner and he said, Hey, they're
Speaker 1: going to try to overthrow Asad. And I said, what
Speaker 1: is is maybe the spring of twenty eleven, I thought,
Speaker 1: he was what are you talking about? He said, Look,
Speaker 1: Asad's not a great guy, he said, but they want
Speaker 1: to stop rushing energy exports. And of course I looked
Speaker 1: into it and yeah, they had a pipeline they were planning,
Speaker 1: and of course, the United States government dependent on the
Speaker 1: Petro dollar. The Arabs didn't want that competition, and there
Speaker 1: was the larger plan for the Greater Israel project and
Speaker 1: the campaigned for a New American Century that Wesley Clark exposed.
Speaker 1: You can see the Democracy Now video all about that.
Speaker 1: You know, the seven countries in five years, which you know,
Speaker 1: the timeline has been drawn out much much longer, but
Speaker 1: that's what they're going for. Iran is the last one.
Speaker 1: And he said, you know, they're gonna try to overthrow Asad.
Speaker 1: They want to overthrow USOT. And then shortly thereafter, I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, pay that much attention to what the man said.
Speaker 1: But shortly that after Obama had his redline and the
Speaker 1: same thing they came up with that Assad is using
Speaker 1: chemical weapons against his own people, which was debunked by
Speaker 1: scientists and students at m I. T Seymour Hirsch has
Speaker 1: written about it, utterly bogus stuff, and even Obama had
Speaker 1: to pull back because they showed they disproved his claims.
Speaker 1: But all of the stuff at ben Ghazi that that
Speaker 1: uh that night at ben Ghazi with Ambassador Stevens, that
Speaker 1: didn't just spontaneously happen, as Hillary Clinton said, you know what,
Speaker 1: what difference does it make. The difference is those were weapons,
Speaker 1: as Seymour Hirsh has talked about, which were supposed to
Speaker 1: be moved from Libya after she and her other absolutely
Speaker 1: demonic vultures came and overthrew the government of Libya and
Speaker 1: picked that apart. Then we see that they wanted to
Speaker 1: move the weapons into Syria and that night in Benghazi
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be a weapons transfer. That's what happened.
Speaker 1: And Seymour Hirsh has written about the rat lines. You
Speaker 1: can check that out and I'll show you. As they
Speaker 1: started to prepare for the overthrow of the government of Asad,
Speaker 1: there is a classic picture, and I've shown this before
Speaker 1: of John McCain in Turkey meeting with none other than
Speaker 1: Abu Muhammad Jilani, who, yes, at that time, was just
Speaker 1: attracting the attention of people like John McCain. McCain also
Speaker 1: was at the heart of the overthrow of Ukraine. This
Speaker 1: man is responsible for so much chaos in both of
Speaker 1: those countries, both of Ukraine and Syria have seen hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of people dead because of him and his
Speaker 1: friend's machinations. And that is the man right there on
Speaker 1: the screen. If you're listening in audio, just look up
Speaker 1: Al Qaeda operative Abu Muhammad Jilani, John McCain Turkey and
Speaker 1: you'll see the image. It'll pop up. That is a
Speaker 1: picture I've been showing over and over again for years
Speaker 1: on Liberty Conspiracy. I've emailed it to people. And John
Speaker 1: McCain is also in photographs on stage as I mentioned
Speaker 1: on the program, probably David's show here as well, on
Speaker 1: stage in twenty fourteen and working with them in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is in pictures with a man named
Speaker 1: ole Tiani Bach, leader of the Slovada Party which is
Speaker 1: the Nazi party in Ukraine, literally on stage with Phil Murphy,
Speaker 1: the senator from Connecticut. Amy Klovershaw was there for that trip.
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham was there for that trip because I think
Speaker 1: he liked the military fashions. And John McCain was there,
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is in photos shaking hands with the
Speaker 1: Nazi who formed part of the coalition government behind Yatsunyuk
Speaker 1: who of course we heard mentioned, whom we heard mentioned
Speaker 1: by Victoria Neulan and Jeffrey Pied as the guy they
Speaker 1: were going to put into office in early twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: and that led to Barisma and also the extension of
Speaker 1: the bioweapons labs that Barack Obama and Dick Lugar put
Speaker 1: in there when they overthrew Yanikovich in two thousand and
Speaker 1: five two thousand and six in Ukraine he got reelected later,
Speaker 1: but in two thousand and six or so, that's when
Speaker 1: they started to put the bioweapons labs in. And there's
Speaker 1: a very good documentary by Russia today, terrible Russian propagandists
Speaker 1: that exposes many of those bioweapons plans in not just Ukraine,
Speaker 1: but I believe also Estonia and Latvia or Lithuania. And
Speaker 1: one of the bioweapons plants actually has Dick Louguard's name
Speaker 1: on it. If people needed any more evidence, or you know,
Speaker 1: if Victoria Neulan acknowledging that there were bioweapons labs to
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, maybe that's enough as well. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just don't know. But this is just perfect and
Speaker 1: shows you the influence of Republicans and Democrats. So let's
Speaker 1: look at John McCain in particular, let's look at the
Speaker 1: blind side of people when it comes to Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: because indeed, just a little while ago on Friday, and
Speaker 1: I got to put this in my Sunday News. Assembly
Speaker 1: on Friday a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, and
Speaker 1: of course you get to pay for your own defense,
Speaker 1: and if you don't pay for it, you'll be trying
Speaker 1: to defend yourself from people getting into your house. I
Speaker 1: love how they talk about border control. We've going to
Speaker 1: have border control that's not in the US Constitution under
Speaker 1: the powers of the Congress or the government. The executive
Speaker 1: branch or the judicial branch is a state issue. Jefferson
Speaker 1: and Madison have written about it. And if you don't
Speaker 1: want to pay for their arbitrary political border, because of course,
Speaker 1: no one can actually say that a border that's put
Speaker 1: up by government is actually where anyone wants it, because
Speaker 1: the people who are forced to pay for it, it's
Speaker 1: not their decision, and the politicians are using other people's money.
Speaker 1: The only borders that are actually real and show any
Speaker 1: value that anyone wants it there are on private property.
Speaker 1: But the people who want to protect the political border
Speaker 1: and look for central authority to handle the border, which
Speaker 1: isn't even in their constitution unless states under Article four
Speaker 1: Section four ask for the militia to come in to
Speaker 1: protect their constitutional form of government, they have to ask
Speaker 1: them to come in. So you don't need posse comatatas.
Speaker 1: You don't need posse camatatas because it's Article four. Section
Speaker 1: four is only when they are asked to go in,
Speaker 1: can they go in. So it's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: state issue. So if you don't want to pay for
Speaker 1: where their political border is going to be put up
Speaker 1: when they take private property somewhere in Texas or Arizona
Speaker 1: to put up a new wall or something like that,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to buy into their central command
Speaker 1: and control that, if a new president other than Donald
Speaker 1: Trump comes in next time, it might go right back
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden actually taking your money to fund people moving,
Speaker 1: but in this case to put up the barriers. If
Speaker 1: you don't want them to take your money for that,
Speaker 1: guess what happens to your barriers at your house. That's right,
Speaker 1: they don't care about your borders. They'll come right into
Speaker 1: your house, they'll take you away. That's how much they
Speaker 1: care about borders. That's how much. The people who are
Speaker 1: saying I care so much about the US border are
Speaker 1: the very ones who would force their neighbor to pay
Speaker 1: for where they want the border wall to be, or
Speaker 1: how to be policed with how much, how often, how
Speaker 1: much money. That's all part of the tragedy of the commons.
Speaker 1: It's unworkable. The only way you can show value is
Speaker 1: through your own decisions, not by forcing somebody else to
Speaker 1: pay for it. So let's take a look now at
Speaker 1: again the mistakes that many conservatives make when they look
Speaker 1: to that central authority. We'll talk about immigration a little
Speaker 1: bit more and touch on that theme again, which is
Speaker 1: a philosophical, anarchist, logical theme, plus touches on the constitutional
Speaker 1: framework that many conservatives just seem to overlook when they
Speaker 1: look at the central authority trying to handle this. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk a little bit about this Defense Department spokesman,
Speaker 1: a major general rider who gets up there and acts
Speaker 1: as if he's surprised to discover something. He discovers amazingly
Speaker 1: that there are more troops in Syria the United States,
Speaker 1: deployed deployed from the United States than they realized. So
Speaker 1: I did a video for this and wrote about it
Speaker 1: from our CTV, and idn'd like to play it for
Speaker 1: you now, Perhaps extinguishing any flicker of confidence many Americans
Speaker 1: might still retain in the honesty of a Biden Department
Speaker 1: of Defense and the US Congress that already has shown
Speaker 1: decades of utter contempt for the US Constitution. Department of
Speaker 1: Defense DoD spokesman Major General Patrick Ryder told reporters on
Speaker 1: December nineteenth that, well, chucks, you know how we've been
Speaker 1: telling you for almost a year that there were nine
Speaker 1: hundred US troops in Syria. Well, we just discovered that
Speaker 1: there are more than double that number deployed there. Hi, everyone,
Speaker 1: and I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV, And here's the story. Yes,
Speaker 1: Major General Rider, he was surprised to find that his
Speaker 1: own agency, his own department, had taken certain actions. That's
Speaker 1: kind of curious.
Speaker 5: Isn't it.
Speaker 1: Well, here's what he had to say, in part.
Speaker 15: As you know, we have been briefing you regularly that
Speaker 15: there are approximately nine hundred US troops deployed to Syria.
Speaker 15: In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest,
Speaker 15: we recently learned that those numbers were.
Speaker 5: Higher and so asked to look into it.
Speaker 15: I learned today that, in fact, there are approximately two
Speaker 15: thousand US troops in Syria.
Speaker 1: Writer's claim of ignorance was almost as insulting as the
Speaker 1: reality that without any official declaration of war from Congress,
Speaker 1: no US troops are supposed to be deployed overseas, not
Speaker 1: two thousand, not nine hundred, not one. And he made
Speaker 1: it worse by trying to normalize this stunning breach of
Speaker 1: American constitutionalism.
Speaker 15: These additional forces are considered temporary rotational forces that deployed
Speaker 15: to meet shifting mission requirements, whereas the core nine hundred
Speaker 15: deployers are on longer term deployments.
Speaker 1: Again, if there are any ethical people still working in DC,
Speaker 1: could they mention to Major General Rider that this is
Speaker 1: a distinction without a difference, the fundamental baseline being that
Speaker 1: none of them are supposed to be there, with the
Speaker 1: added recognition that the DoD has been lying to us
Speaker 1: for many months about the overall number. Journalist Michael Tracy
Speaker 1: put it succinctly on X, posting a clip of the
Speaker 1: insufferable writers inane statement and writing quote, would love to
Speaker 1: know how the Pentagon suddenly learned that it had at
Speaker 1: least one one hundred more troops deployed to Syria than
Speaker 1: it had previously acknowledged end quote. Absolutely right. Did the
Speaker 1: soldiers walk there? Perhaps they appeared out of hammer space,
Speaker 1: as if they were in a Mario and Luigi video game,
Speaker 1: all while the wildly unconstitutional US wanders like a blind
Speaker 1: beggar into thirty six trillion dollars in debt. Of course,
Speaker 1: given the track record here, we can't even be sure
Speaker 1: we can trust this new number of two thousand troops.
Speaker 1: But while Ryder did make a court gesture of himself
Speaker 1: and expose how much contempt the current US military brass,
Speaker 1: DC politicians and federal bureaucrats have for us, he was
Speaker 1: honest about one thing. At the close of the clip
Speaker 1: provided by Michael Tracy, one can see Rider admitting that
Speaker 1: the US has been in Syria for a long time.
Speaker 1: Some of us have been trying to sound the alarms
Speaker 1: about this for a long time.
Speaker 15: He said, These forces which augment the defeat ISIS mission
Speaker 15: were there before the fall of the Asade regime.
Speaker 1: No kidding again, some of us have known that. In fact,
Speaker 1: we've known that the US has been working with ISIS
Speaker 1: affiliations and occupying nearly one third of Syria for ten years,
Speaker 1: and that the area is Seriou's richest oil land and
Speaker 1: contains the best growing fields in the nation. In fact,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump himself admitted to this occupation on numerous occasions
Speaker 1: while he was president presiding over the occupation, and he
Speaker 1: even stated during a meeting with Turkey's leader, Recev tyep
Speaker 1: Erdowan five years ago, in part.
Speaker 9: We're keeping the oil we have.
Speaker 10: The oil is secure.
Speaker 1: And as much as supporters of mister Trump might try
Speaker 1: to just defy this, perhaps thinking that it represents some
Speaker 1: kind of payment for the US doing something they think
Speaker 1: is beneficial in the region, there simply is no constitutional
Speaker 1: or ethical excuse for any of this period. Not only
Speaker 1: has the US Congress not offered a declaration of war
Speaker 1: to move troops overseas and possibly engage in hostility that
Speaker 1: could see them killed or see them kill others. Internationally,
Speaker 1: a Greek treaties prohibit the occupation of foreign nations. Not
Speaker 1: of course, that any of the federal bureaucrats and war
Speaker 1: hungry politicians in DC much care. So long as they
Speaker 1: keep collecting their cushy, taxpayer funded salaries, we don't know
Speaker 1: where they came from.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 1: Thanks for watching everyone, Please like and subscribe. Find us
Speaker 1: Unrumble where they don't censor and of course, I suppose
Speaker 1: you could here a sense of frustration in my voice there.
Speaker 1: Big thanks to the MRC TV editors. The team did
Speaker 1: a great job on that video, and I really appreciate
Speaker 1: what they did, and yeah it is it is amazing.
Speaker 1: But I want to show you, in fact, let me
Speaker 1: do one thing here, because I want to show you
Speaker 1: what the comments were on this video. Okay, so let
Speaker 1: me go down here just to give you an example,
Speaker 1: because this sort of helps with the lesson of the
Speaker 1: whole thing, and it is I think illustrative or at
Speaker 1: least allows for some comments from people. So let me
Speaker 1: show you this and you can check it out. And
Speaker 1: someone has here and nice thanks and things like that.
Speaker 1: Someone says, is Rider a DEI general officer? That's great,
Speaker 1: But then we have so someone had an excellent point.
Speaker 1: Anyone who actually believes the d D didn't know exactly
Speaker 1: how many troops it has in Syria has quite a
Speaker 1: few screws loose. Do you guys seriously think the government
Speaker 1: didn't know how many troops it had there? Seriously? Well,
Speaker 1: obviously that's the point of my video, But some people
Speaker 1: didn't really seem to get the point. One person said,
Speaker 1: hammer space is more a bugs Bunny thing than Mario
Speaker 1: and Luigi thing. But it's actually taken from Mario and
Speaker 1: Luigi when they would pull their hammers from out behind
Speaker 1: their backs in the video game. But I understand what
Speaker 1: he was saying about bugs bunny. So this is interesting.
Speaker 1: So this one person here, this is new says, while
Speaker 1: I agree with the criticism of the DoD, I must
Speaker 1: bring scrutiny, not even paying attention to Donald Trump, I
Speaker 1: must bring scrutiny to your criticism of the US declaring
Speaker 1: war argument. The US Congress has not declared war since
Speaker 1: nineteen forty one. All the other wars we have fought
Speaker 1: have not fallen under the constitutional war doctrine. That's the
Speaker 1: point that I made. It's not constitutional. What else are
Speaker 1: you going to use to run the US government? You know,
Speaker 1: the rules to monopoly. I'm not sure, but some people
Speaker 1: just concentrated on Joe Biden. They thought, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: when a new guy gets in here, it'll be changed,
Speaker 1: it'll be different. Someone says Trump will fire his you
Speaker 1: know what as you know what, So he writes this,
Speaker 1: Trump will fire his you know what. Well, that's not
Speaker 1: the point. The point is that Trump also was at fault,
Speaker 1: and he says, another person here says, who's responsible for
Speaker 1: such awful record keeping? That's not the point. The point
Speaker 1: is that the United States government is deploying troops without
Speaker 1: a declaration of war and was occupying a nation contrary
Speaker 1: to the US Constitution and international agreements to which the
Speaker 1: United States has signed and which are constitutional according to
Speaker 1: the US Constitution.
Speaker 3: How hard is it?
Speaker 1: I don't understand people are looking at Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: not Donald Trump. They're completely It was right there, it
Speaker 1: was in the video. It was there, wasn't it didn't
Speaker 1: I put it in there. I don't understand how it
Speaker 1: is that people can look at this and they immediately
Speaker 1: switch off of recognizing the wrongdoing of Donald Trump. They
Speaker 1: won't discuss it. I thought it was valuable, it was
Speaker 1: important to bring up, and yet we don't see it.
Speaker 1: They're not discussing it. And I've got another example for
Speaker 1: you that I think you might find interesting. So let's
Speaker 1: turn to what I wrote down on the billboard, and
Speaker 1: I showed this to the audience at Liberty Conspiracy last night.
Speaker 1: Collectivism grows. Even so called conservatives have embraced the mindset
Speaker 1: while deluding themselves. Many not all, you know, I want
Speaker 1: to be sort of just questioning and expressing some vexation
Speaker 1: and hope that maybe we can have a conversation and
Speaker 1: that sort of a thing and say, hey, what about this?
Speaker 1: Are you you going to talk about that? Or are
Speaker 1: you just going to say I'm putting all my chips
Speaker 1: on this and while deluting themselves that they stand for freedom.
Speaker 1: The hits and missus come up here, and here are
Speaker 1: the hits and the misses of an example. So I
Speaker 1: want to turn to this web channel. You can find
Speaker 1: them on Rumble Real America's Voice. Right. So this guy,
Speaker 1: Steve Gruber comes back from Christmas, and he's a very
Speaker 1: likable host. Seems you know, he's got some chops when
Speaker 1: it comes to certain things. I disagree with him on
Speaker 1: other things. And yet it's this banking on Trump is
Speaker 1: gonna change everything. It's gonna be great, and then for
Speaker 1: completely forgetting all these other things that he's done in
Speaker 1: the past. And in this we're gonna touch on the
Speaker 1: last little bit to sort of recap Christmas, because Trump's
Speaker 1: Christmas message is part of what I plan to discuss
Speaker 1: on the program. As you saw on the Billboard earlier,
Speaker 1: Trump's Christmas message shows us. I think, how so many
Speaker 1: people are so willing to uncritically look at these people
Speaker 1: and just rely on the one guy's gonna save us.
Speaker 1: How in the world did a supposedly decentralized federalist system
Speaker 1: get to that point. Well, again, not to be too critical,
Speaker 1: you know, try to pull back every once in a
Speaker 1: while here and just offer what he has to say
Speaker 1: and say, geez, you know this makes me feel uncomfortable
Speaker 1: sometimes and sometimes he makes very good points. Here we go.
Speaker 5: It was a terrific Christmas.
Speaker 16: Like you, we're now taking time to look forward and
Speaker 16: really start to count our blessings as we count down
Speaker 16: the days until America has a real president again.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there you go. How is a guy who
Speaker 1: repeatedly with the Cares Act, with the PPP, with the
Speaker 1: calling for a medical emergency March thirteenth, twenty twenty. How
Speaker 1: is that a real president? How can you call this man,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, a real president, the authentic, real deal, the
Speaker 1: John Wayne, real meat and potatoes president. Going back to
Speaker 1: the roots of a guy who respects the constitution when
Speaker 1: this man is not even right about how many Russians
Speaker 1: have died in the Russian Ukraine conflict. He repeats nonsense
Speaker 1: from Jake Sullivan. Absolutely false, I mean so clearly obviously false.
Speaker 1: He said six hundred thousand Russians have died. It's nowhere
Speaker 1: near that. It's six hundred thousand Ukrainians have died. And
Speaker 1: how any thoughtful human being can hear that and say, well, sure,
Speaker 1: I believe that is beyond me. There's no possible way
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump could believe that unless he didn't know
Speaker 1: anything about what was going on there. And it's the
Speaker 1: same thing with the PPP and care stuff, going back
Speaker 1: to the so called pandemic, the same thing with even
Speaker 1: calling it a pandemic when you've got a medical system
Speaker 1: that's getting incentivized by the federal government to the tune
Speaker 1: of upwards of thirty thousand dollars per patient. If they
Speaker 1: can claim that the patient has a if they can
Speaker 1: take a positive pc artist which has been gin dupped
Speaker 1: to two to the fortieth power, and then claim that
Speaker 1: someone has died from COVID nineteen when they could have
Speaker 1: died from something else, they'll get paid. You don't even
Speaker 1: know how many people. Ever, they will never know how
Speaker 1: many people died from COVID nineteen. Donald I could see
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's the president of working with these people.
Speaker 1: He didn't bring it up. Hey, do you think we
Speaker 1: might be sort of pumping up the numbers by sending
Speaker 1: money out to people who claim that they've got this
Speaker 1: so that they can get the money. I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. I'm Anthony Fauci. I think we're fine. By
Speaker 1: the way, put your mask back on and go back
Speaker 1: to mar A Lago. I mean, these are the most
Speaker 1: If you were a teenager playing a board game, you
Speaker 1: just scratch your head like, hey, did I miss something
Speaker 1: here on the way this is supposed to work?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, it's fine? Am I sup? How is this?
Speaker 1: I don't know how this works? So again, how is
Speaker 1: he a real president? Right? How is it possible he's
Speaker 1: a real president? Even George Washington breached the constitution when
Speaker 1: he marched on the whiskey whiskey makers in western Pennsylvania. Okay,
Speaker 1: they weren't invited into Pennsylvania under article for Session four,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad I brought it up earlier. They weren't
Speaker 1: invited in. It was a judge who was a friend
Speaker 1: of Alexander Hamilton's in DC who said that there was
Speaker 1: an insurrection going on or a rebellion going on in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: That's why they call it the Whiskey Rebellion. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a rebellion. It was an aggressive march to get the
Speaker 1: Whiskey excise tax by Washington and Hamilton and many of
Speaker 1: the people who had they wanted money and they were
Speaker 1: holding onto the war bonds that Hamilton had said you'll
Speaker 1: get paid back one hundred percent because we'll have taxing
Speaker 1: authority under the Constitution. But even though they put the
Speaker 1: excise taxing authority in there, they didn't explicitly spell out
Speaker 1: how they could collect the excise tax. So people were
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out because they can't send federal
Speaker 1: troops into states unless the states invite them in. So
Speaker 1: they reached loggerheads there and you can read the constitution,
Speaker 1: you can check it out. It doesn't work. Seriously, like you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. They can't send the troops in unless
Speaker 1: they're invited in. So that's very interesting, and that it's
Speaker 1: not a standing army. It's supposed to be the militia.
Speaker 1: It's not a US army, not the Marines, not the
Speaker 1: Air Force or anything like that. Right, they have a navy.
Speaker 1: But as far as the land troops go, that's the militia.
Speaker 1: That's us. We're supposed to be in our states. If
Speaker 1: we get if we get called up supposedly under their
Speaker 1: constitution by a declaration of war, which is the only
Speaker 1: thing they can do to send the troops under the
Speaker 1: command of the president anywhere, then we can decide if
Speaker 1: we want to go or we don't want to go.
Speaker 1: Otherwise we can stay. That's the militia, that's all. That's
Speaker 1: why we're all supposed to be armed. So you know,
Speaker 1: we can fight back against guys like George Washington when
Speaker 1: they come after us for making whiskey. So let's continue.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, great comments inside X for
Speaker 1: previous segments. HRC's right hand man off the books, Sid
Speaker 1: Blumenthal in deep with Benghazi and Libya's destruction. Absolutely right, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you Russian guys for spreading the Russian propaganda.
Speaker 1: Trump was furious with Germany getting its energy from Russia.
Speaker 1: Trump wanted that stopped. Yeah, very interesting. You know, this
Speaker 1: whole play was with the Saudis that were you know,
Speaker 1: they could see starting in two thousand and eight, two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, Jennifer I started to really watch what
Speaker 1: was going on with the Russians very closely because with
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight American Recovery Act, Obama and
Speaker 1: you know, the rest of the crew, they created basically,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty trillion dollars or twenty billion dollars out
Speaker 1: of thin air? Was a twenty billion Oh no, it
Speaker 1: was seven. They gave seventeen billion just to GM, so
Speaker 1: it was more like, I think it was more like
Speaker 1: two or three trillion dollars, that's what it was. So
Speaker 1: they knew, the foreigners knew that you can't just create
Speaker 1: this money out of nothing and see the value of
Speaker 1: the monetary units remain the same. It's going to drop.
Speaker 1: So they started to drop their long term bond purchases.
Speaker 1: The Chinese dropped their long term bombs, the bonds. They
Speaker 1: weren't going to buy the ten year bond anymore. The
Speaker 1: Russians did the same thing. They were going with short term.
Speaker 1: They weren't doing long terms, and the Americans didn't like
Speaker 1: that at all. Well, why buy a long term bond
Speaker 1: if it's going to get paid back later and the
Speaker 1: value of it's going to be even lower? Right, the
Speaker 1: buying power of it. I mean, it's been watered down
Speaker 1: so much by inflation. No thank you. Right, So that's
Speaker 1: when they started to orient again towards demonizing Russia. And
Speaker 1: you could see, of course, the overthrow of Kadafi. If
Speaker 1: you look at the WikiLeaks emails of the Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: emails that WikiLeaks released, you can see the interior emails
Speaker 1: where she talked about how it'll be a good thing
Speaker 1: to overthrow Caddaffe because he's starting a gold based currency.
Speaker 1: Captain Sensible, the guitarist of the Damn My Favorite band,
Speaker 1: he sat down a dinner with me and a friend
Speaker 1: of mine from the Free State Project one time down
Speaker 1: to Boston, and he's like, yeah, you know, we started
Speaker 1: talking about kadaff and and he knew about it. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was gonna start an African African gold based currency.
Speaker 1: That's why they knocked him out, absolutely right. And you know,
Speaker 1: Kadaffi had played along with the United States for quite
Speaker 1: a while, opened up. He wasn't a good guy either,
Speaker 1: you know, he'd opened up some of those rendition camps
Speaker 1: and so on that John Kuriaku exposed and had hats off.
Speaker 1: What a great guy John is. He is such a
Speaker 1: nice guy. I've only met him once, but we just
Speaker 1: you know, became real quick. You know, got along great.
Speaker 1: We've got along great. And of course he's been on
Speaker 1: with David many many times. So thank you very very much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that great, great comments all the way, and
Speaker 1: also thank you ushers. Let's get this up there as well.
Speaker 1: Uh don don don't don't BESHI ninety nine. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if I'm reading that right. The wicked walk on
Speaker 1: every side when the violence men are excited. Boy, isn't
Speaker 1: that true? Yeah, So let's continue again, not too intensely critical,
Speaker 1: but just again to to sort of put on balance
Speaker 1: as we approach Donald Trump coming into office here, I
Speaker 1: think it's important to see some of the manifestations of
Speaker 1: this hero worship.
Speaker 16: And we take control of our future again. I mean,
Speaker 16: it's been the most wonderful Christmas season.
Speaker 1: Nor Okay, So again I'm just gonna bring this up
Speaker 1: hopping in real quick. The use of the pronoun we
Speaker 1: is a collectivist political term. When it's used in politics,
Speaker 1: it means you are going to be part of their plans.
Speaker 1: And how can you get we take control of our future?
Speaker 1: You see the problem there? You know, Well, it's even
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence. Right, we'll go with the constitution.
Speaker 1: We the people of the United States. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: to be honest, they're not speaking for all the people
Speaker 1: in the United States. It's we, the people who are
Speaker 1: writing this piece of paper. And Lessander Spooner in the
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, his treatise called no Treason the Constitution of
Speaker 1: no Authority spells it out very clearly. They had no
Speaker 1: authority over people to say, I'm going to write for
Speaker 1: you what's in here. And even if they claimed representation
Speaker 1: of certain people, mathematically it's impossible to be able to
Speaker 1: represent all the people. And it was a political system,
Speaker 1: so therefore there's really no voluntary representation at all. So
Speaker 1: the we, the people think we, is used by politicians.
Speaker 1: It's like the royal we, but they've reconstituted it to
Speaker 1: be the democratic royal wei. So it's even more pernicious.
Speaker 1: In the olden days, in the old medieval days of
Speaker 1: the of the royal peerage system, people understood and I
Speaker 1: mentioned this on on the Liberty Conspiracy. Uh J R. R.
Speaker 1: Tolkien wrote to his son and said, I would describe
Speaker 1: myself as an anarchist, or I would go with a monarchy,
Speaker 1: much like Hans Hermann Happa, the contemporary philosopher, because he said, uh,
Speaker 1: democracy is a canard.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: They're telling you that you rule yourself, but really it's
Speaker 1: gang rule. That's what democracy is, right, you know, the
Speaker 1: two wolves and a sheep. That's the whole thing. But
Speaker 1: the royal we was Tolkien recognized that people understood the
Speaker 1: difference between the state as the French, you know, Great
Speaker 1: King Louis said Le Saintmois, I am the state, and
Speaker 1: when they would use they would speak about themselves in
Speaker 1: the third person we third person plural, we we say this,
Speaker 1: we command this because they represent the state. I am
Speaker 1: the state, and the people were seen as the civilians.
Speaker 1: That was why there was this distinction supposedly during war,
Speaker 1: where only the knights who signed up to fight for
Speaker 1: the king and get paid by the king would be
Speaker 1: in threats threatened during war, and civilians were supposed to
Speaker 1: be left alone, you know, women and children. That sort
Speaker 1: of thing. Obviously didn't work out that way, with pillaging often,
Speaker 1: but there was supposedly that supposedly chivalrous rules of war,
Speaker 1: which is why the term declaration of war is capitalized
Speaker 1: in the Constitution because it's a term of art. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: it's the dark art. But so Toldien said, you know,
Speaker 1: at least if you've got a monarchy, you know who
Speaker 1: your enemy is. You're not sold this snake oil, this
Speaker 1: canard that it's you, it's the royal We in democracy,
Speaker 1: Now it's us. What if I don't want to be
Speaker 1: part of your Wii? And I'll give you a great example.
Speaker 1: F Paul Wilson, a great libertarian writer. Doctor read his
Speaker 1: Repairman Jack novels. They're phenomenal. I've had stuff turned into
Speaker 1: into movies, really really great stuff. So F Paul Wilson
Speaker 1: and I and my friend Tom Antileoni. Tom was on
Speaker 1: on on the program last time. I filled in for David,
Speaker 1: another great writer. We're all libertarians, and we would attend
Speaker 1: this thing called Camp nikon the Northeast Writers Convention in
Speaker 1: Rhode Island every summer and they would have a little
Speaker 1: cookout and a lot of people be hanging around and
Speaker 1: it's aid, you know, sort of dust towards darkness. So uh,
Speaker 1: someone said to Paul, we have to we have to
Speaker 1: provide healthcare for people, and so he justs, who's this Wii?
Speaker 1: Because it's just assumed that if you are if you
Speaker 1: want to be left alone, you're not part of their we,
Speaker 1: then somehow you're the bad guy. But they're the ones
Speaker 1: who are engaging in the activity, initiating the aggressive action
Speaker 1: of pulling you in with those arms of the royal
Speaker 1: we now reconstituted in democracy. So there we are. It's
Speaker 1: the we.
Speaker 16: Can flush the entire Biden administration down the drain in
Speaker 16: the very near future.
Speaker 5: We can focus on what is good for Americans.
Speaker 16: And we will place their needs first and foremost.
Speaker 5: What an idea, what a concept?
Speaker 16: Making citizenship great again and making citizenship actually matter?
Speaker 1: And so if he's going to say that American interests
Speaker 1: are going to be placed first, how is it square
Speaker 1: auble with Donald Trump having dinner with Benjamin Egnieu's wife
Speaker 1: and promising, and not only that, but what he did
Speaker 1: previously with Israel? How about that? Is that putting America first?
Speaker 1: Or is that putting APAC first? And Sheldon Edelssen's widow first?
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 5: Right again, let's start with this today.
Speaker 16: If you miss the Christmas wish from President Elic Donald
Speaker 16: Trump and soon to be First Lady of Milanya, I thought.
Speaker 5: You should hear it. It's pretty special.
Speaker 16: And it's quite different than what we've heard the last
Speaker 16: four years.
Speaker 5: Listen to this.
Speaker 8: The President and I want to wish every American a
Speaker 8: very merry Christmas.
Speaker 17: During the sacred season, Christians celebrate the greatest.
Speaker 5: Miracle in human history.
Speaker 9: More than two thousand years ago, God sent his only
Speaker 9: begotten son to be with us. An angel announced the
Speaker 9: birth of our Lord and Savior to humble shepherds. He said,
Speaker 9: I bring you good news that will cause great joy
Speaker 9: for all of the people.
Speaker 17: Today in the town of David, A savior has been
Speaker 17: born to you.
Speaker 5: He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Speaker 9: He will find a baby wrapptid clothes and lying in
Speaker 9: a manger. At Christmas, we thank God for sending us
Speaker 9: his son to bring peace to our souls and enjoy
Speaker 9: to the world.
Speaker 1: So again, quick addendum here. Why is it that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump sat as an occupying force in Syria and worked
Speaker 1: with radical Islamic forces like Abu Muhammad al Galani to
Speaker 1: send weapons around to run that third of Syria, which
Speaker 1: is larger than the area of Ukraine that the Russian's
Speaker 1: ever taken. Why is it that that is acceptable for
Speaker 1: this supposed Christian I don't know. I just throw that
Speaker 1: out there as a question. But to me, there's a
Speaker 1: bit of a discord between what he's saying and his actions.
Speaker 1: Why is it that he calls himself a Christian and
Speaker 1: yet he engages in things like, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: claiming the power to be able to take my money
Speaker 1: to fund universities. I didn't know that that was Christian.
Speaker 8: In this wonderful time of year, we also give thanks
Speaker 8: for the brave and selfless Americans who keep us safe.
Speaker 8: We are forever grateful for the men and women of
Speaker 8: law enforcement.
Speaker 1: So again, uh, we'll just gonna just finish off with this.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, as I mentioned before, law enforcement,
Speaker 1: brave law enforcement. Absolutely. I know a lot of cops.
Speaker 1: They are trying to do the right thing. Right. Are
Speaker 1: they first responders? Statistically?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: Are the soldiers? And if you know anybody in the military,
Speaker 1: if you're in the military, how does it make you feel?
Speaker 1: And I've had conversations with guys at the airport who
Speaker 1: are in there fatigues they're gonna ship off. I've approached
Speaker 1: them and say, hey, I just got a question. I
Speaker 1: want to approach it, you know, kindly, if you don't
Speaker 1: want to answer it. It's final, just walk away. But
Speaker 1: I am curious because I know you swear an oath
Speaker 1: to the Constitution and you only follow constitutional orders, right, yes,
Speaker 1: how do you feel that you're being deployed at as
Speaker 1: we heard General Major General Ryders say they're deployed? How
Speaker 1: can you be deployed if there's no declaration of war?
Speaker 1: And the answer is not well, as some people might say, well,
Speaker 1: they've been doing it since World War Two, that's not acceptable.
Speaker 1: You can't say, well, he's been beating his wife since
Speaker 1: they got married, so I guess it's okay. No, sorry,
Speaker 1: not working. Not a functional answer. The synapses aren't connecting
Speaker 1: on that doesn't work. It's you're you're deluding your yourself
Speaker 1: if you call yourself a constitutionalist if one is supposedly
Speaker 1: doing honor to the founders. And again, I don't accept
Speaker 1: that the founders can write anything that has any authority
Speaker 1: over me. I wasn't there. It's that's just the fact
Speaker 1: of it. And the fact that I don't run away
Speaker 1: when agents of that entity that they created come after me,
Speaker 1: just again shows that I don't have to run away.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to run away. I should be a
Speaker 1: free person to be able to be left alone, regardless
Speaker 1: of whether people hold up a piece of paper and say,
Speaker 1: you know, some people wrote down that I can come
Speaker 1: after you. Now they put some barriers in there. I
Speaker 1: don't even care about the barriers. But we got authority
Speaker 1: over you. No, you don't have authority over me. I
Speaker 1: didn't give it to you. God didn't give it to you.
Speaker 1: Leave me alone. How about that? How is it that
Speaker 1: people in the military can be seen by Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and others as being heroic and defending the United States
Speaker 1: when they're sitting in Syria and he left them there.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering about that. What do you think? And
Speaker 1: I'm curious to get a lot of opinions, So drop
Speaker 1: your messages inside the check here in the David Knight Show,
Speaker 1: and let's take the opportunity to give you something that
Speaker 1: you know what I was thinking about this. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to those olden days and think about a film
Speaker 1: that actually is based on a real person from the Revolution.
Speaker 1: I haven't even seen this movie, but David, again with
Speaker 1: his musical power, put something together to remind us of freedom.
Speaker 1: You're in the David Knight Show.
Speaker 5: Liberty it's your move.
Speaker 11: And now the David Knight Show.
Speaker 1: Well, here filling in for David Knight. I feel very
Speaker 1: delighted and honored to be with you the audience and
Speaker 1: hopefully doing a good job for David, coming in from Liberty,
Speaker 1: Conspiracy and MRCTV and thinking about all of you in
Speaker 1: the audience out there on all the different platforms. Again,
Speaker 1: don't forget you can donate to David today as we
Speaker 1: round off the month. That's a big, big deal and
Speaker 1: I'll feel like I'm doing a good job for David
Speaker 1: as well. If you want to donate on rockfin, on Rumble,
Speaker 1: anything like that, you can go to the website to
Speaker 1: find all those other areas. And I want to tell
Speaker 1: you about another website that you might want to check
Speaker 1: out often every day. It is Ericpetersautos dot com. And
Speaker 1: if you go over there, going to see a really
Speaker 1: cool image of one of my favorite cars. But before
Speaker 1: we go to his website, I want to show you
Speaker 1: something from his x feed that I think you'll enjoy.
Speaker 1: Let me bring this on to the stage and then
Speaker 1: we'll welcome our guest, Eric Peters of Eric Peters Autos.
Speaker 1: He says, what is it with this adulation of more
Speaker 1: efficient government. Isn't that like mending rather than ending exactly exactly?
Speaker 1: And this is one of the major problems I've had
Speaker 1: with Elon Musk and with Vibek Ramashwami. It's all based
Speaker 1: on outcome. It's all based on not the philosophy of
Speaker 1: rights and at least what the standards are supposed to
Speaker 1: be based on their constitution. None of that is part
Speaker 1: of their calculus. If it's not in the Constitution, they're
Speaker 1: not questioning whether it is or is not there. They're
Speaker 1: questioning the efficiency of it. Well, if you can have
Speaker 1: a much more efficient guillotine and you're lopping the heads
Speaker 1: off French people who are innocent people, does that make
Speaker 1: it better? I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: The ideas are pernicious at their outset. And this is
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I try to remind people
Speaker 1: that immigration is not in the US Constitution as a
Speaker 1: federal issue. It's a state issue. So let's turn to
Speaker 1: Eric Peters now, who has a lot to tell us
Speaker 1: about Elon Musk and many other things. He's with us
Speaker 1: now in the David Knight Show. Hello Eric, and welcome
Speaker 1: and Happy New Year. Early and Happy Christmas. Late goodness
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 10: A likewise card. I guess I'm filling in for me today. Yes,
Speaker 10: I'm glad you saw my little post on X too,
Speaker 10: because it got under my skin. You know, this business
Speaker 10: about making government more efficient, and I got to thinking
Speaker 10: about how efficient the NKVD era was at Russia. They
Speaker 10: were really good. You know, if you want to read
Speaker 10: about how efficient government can be, I recommend reading Zolshnisen's
Speaker 10: Gulag Archipelago. They were efficient at organizing and rounding up
Speaker 10: people and shipping them off to internment camps.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you know it's interesting. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've you know Amity Schlaz she had that book, The
Speaker 1: Forgotten Man, And in the opening of The Forgotten Man,
Speaker 1: she has all these FDR supporters, you know, the administrators
Speaker 1: in the FDR camp. How they're all admiring Stalin and
Speaker 1: how he's making the trains work on time. They're on
Speaker 1: a train. I thought, yeah, you know those trains where
Speaker 1: people froze to death. And I talked about that book
Speaker 1: called The Long Walk, about those guys who were brought
Speaker 1: up to the Gulag and they escaped and they walked
Speaker 1: like three and a half thousand miles to India. Not
Speaker 1: all of them survived, and they described how awful it
Speaker 1: was on those trains going those I don't know how
Speaker 1: many miles, and day after day in cold weather where
Speaker 1: they would make circles, most of them were naked. They
Speaker 1: would make circles because the exterior of the train car
Speaker 1: the interior near the walls of the exterior were so
Speaker 1: cold that they would take turns to try to get
Speaker 1: to the center of the car where body heat could
Speaker 1: keep them warmer. And sometimes guys would freeze to death
Speaker 1: on their feet inside the cars.
Speaker 10: Like penguins and Antarctica.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, absolutely, And he said you wouldn't realize it
Speaker 1: until you've been You do your turn, walk and you
Speaker 1: bump into somebody who was just standing there, and so
Speaker 1: that's that's government efficiency. You're absolutely I'm so. I thought
Speaker 1: I was all alone because everybody is applauding Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: and I just thought, you know this, this is consequentialist thinking.
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with morality. You're just talking
Speaker 1: about how to make a better engine that can run
Speaker 1: over somebody. That's all.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And this is what's so frustrating to me. About
Speaker 10: and I'm just kind of being loosier with the terminology.
Speaker 10: But conservatives and Republicans they agree with their putative opponents
Speaker 10: on the left fundamentally. It's not they're opposed to government.
Speaker 10: What they're opposed to is what the left wants to
Speaker 10: do with government. They want to do something different with government,
Speaker 10: and they wonder why we get more government all the time?
Speaker 10: You know, how do you how do you stop that
Speaker 10: without standing on the principle that no, this fundamentally is
Speaker 10: a long thing to do, that this is not the
Speaker 10: legitimate business of government. Instead of saying well, or rather
Speaker 10: than saying, we're going to make it more efficient, you know,
Speaker 10: we're going to we're going to do a better job
Speaker 10: of the administrative state managing people's lives.
Speaker 1: Right right, And I think it goes towards you know,
Speaker 1: the classic I think the most salient aspects of critics
Speaker 1: of Elon Musk might first be Elon Musk talks about
Speaker 1: government efficiency and waste. You know, he'll even quote some
Speaker 1: of the Austrian economists. He'll you know, he's posting things
Speaker 1: up there, not from an Austrian in a Chicago school,
Speaker 1: but you know, he's posting things up on his x
Speaker 1: feet from Milton Friedman. And that's all well and good,
Speaker 1: but there's a great example where Friedman was a monetarist,
Speaker 1: a Chicago Go school economists who didn't mind things like
Speaker 1: FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation he had. He didn't have
Speaker 1: a problem with that. That's wildly unstable. It caused the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one housing crisis, where a bunch
Speaker 1: of people, because they increased the amount of money that
Speaker 1: they were allowing the FDIC to ensure banks, the banks
Speaker 1: started to lend out even more money because they had
Speaker 1: a moral hazard that opened up. They could say, oh,
Speaker 1: we can just let it out. We'll give it, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll give the money away for cheap, we'll get it
Speaker 1: paid back. That's exactly what they did. People couldn't afford
Speaker 1: their homes, and we had a housing bus in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety nineteen ninety one. I worked at an auction firm
Speaker 1: after I got out of college and showed those houses off.
Speaker 1: I was at the auctions for the houses and the
Speaker 1: condos that came as a direct result of that. And
Speaker 1: so Elon Musk coming around and doing this sort of thing,
Speaker 1: quoting people like Milton Friedman. That doesn't show that he's
Speaker 1: really you know, Friedman was great and his son is
Speaker 1: even better. But Freedman did allow for the existence of
Speaker 1: government and a lot of things that first aren't even constitutional, right,
Speaker 1: And second he would go with say, vouchers for schools, Well,
Speaker 1: that's still government taking people's money. And maybe Friedman eventually
Speaker 1: got convinced that it might be a means to an end,
Speaker 1: but it then injects government into the money wherever it goes,
Speaker 1: and it starts to corrupt even private schools that have
Speaker 1: to conform or charter schools that have to conform. So Musk, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: with this consequentialist outcome based thing, I think some of
Speaker 1: the first things that people think of are didn't you
Speaker 1: take money for your rockets? Aren't you doing government contracts?
Speaker 1: Are so won't he won't question the underlying assumptions that
Speaker 1: government should be doing X, Y and Z that are
Speaker 1: nowhere near what the Founders, at least with the Founders
Speaker 1: had envisioned at all at all. In any way, there's
Speaker 1: a disingenuous duality about Musk. You know, now he's talking
Speaker 1: about how he thinks the federal seventy five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: tax kick back that has been used to help promote
Speaker 1: people buying electric vehicles should be ended. And that's all
Speaker 1: well and good.
Speaker 10: Now that he's established Tesla as the dominant player in
Speaker 10: the field, he wants to take away that rent seeking
Speaker 10: advantage from his opponents. You know, this is this is
Speaker 10: my problem with the guy. You know, he has to
Speaker 10: have it both ways. You know, he's a businessman, he's
Speaker 10: a sharp businessman, and I think it's important to to
Speaker 10: use that as the basis for your evaluating him. You know,
Speaker 10: I've written a number of articles about x and you know,
Speaker 10: and marveled at this idea that he's a free speech guy.
Speaker 10: He's not a free speech guy. He's a paid speech guy.
Speaker 10: And he's also a speech suppressor guy. I point out
Speaker 10: one incontrovertible fact in Brazil, when the government of the
Speaker 10: current government of Brazil demanded that he suppressed the speech
Speaker 10: of certain political wrong thinkers. He initially opposed it, but
Speaker 10: then he realized he was going to lose money, and
Speaker 10: as a businessman, he didn't want to lose money, so
Speaker 10: he acceded to the demands made by the govern of Brazil.
Speaker 10: And he's now suppressing speech in Brazil. So what does
Speaker 10: that tell you? You know, I go by what people do,
Speaker 10: not by what people say. So if you look at
Speaker 10: Musk's actions, you know he's been a rent seeking grifter
Speaker 10: as regardless elect as regards electric vehicles and this free
Speaker 10: speech thing, well, it's paid speech. You pay him a
Speaker 10: fee to be allowed to post things on the platform
Speaker 10: and so that people can see them. And yeah, they're
Speaker 10: subject to his whims. You know, try and post something,
Speaker 10: for example, that's critical of the government of Israel and
Speaker 10: what the government of Israel is doing over there, and
Speaker 10: more than likely that is going to be shunted off somewhere.
Speaker 10: And if you continue to do stuff like that, you'll
Speaker 10: find that you have been kicked off the platform entirely.
Speaker 1: Which is precisely the reason. Eric Peters is our guest, folks,
Speaker 1: Eric is precisely the reason. And they explicitly said this
Speaker 1: was the reason in Congress for trying to knock out TikTok, right,
Speaker 1: And we've got the TikTok argument coming up to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. And you know, very clear, just who can
Speaker 1: possibly think that a bunch of politicians can tell business people? Hey, Andy,
Speaker 1: They constantly say Oh, it's the Chinese government and it's
Speaker 1: a security thread. Look, first of all, byte Dance is
Speaker 1: not owned by the Chinese government. You know, if you
Speaker 1: want to look at companies that are basically owned or
Speaker 1: run or affiliated with certain governments, look at black Rock,
Speaker 1: look at Uh, look at Lockheed Martin, look at BAE Systems.
Speaker 1: How about those? You know, how about some of these
Speaker 1: green corporations, how about Tesla for a while, you know,
Speaker 1: all these different things, so that whole that whole thing
Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. And then they don't even recognize the
Speaker 1: fact that what what you know, where where's the balance
Speaker 1: of the problem here? Is it the Chinese possibly getting
Speaker 1: my social media, the Chinese government getting my social media
Speaker 1: accounts or my bank account, which is easily hacked by
Speaker 1: anybody who wants to hack this stuff. My social Security
Speaker 1: number was stolen, but because they got into Blue Cross,
Speaker 1: Blue Shield, you know, Uh, the government lost tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of social security numbers just a few years ago.
Speaker 1: They admitted to that the irs. So who's a bigger threat,
Speaker 1: either because of their accidental their errors, or because they
Speaker 1: intentionally through the NSA collect our information, The Chinese or
Speaker 1: the US, you.
Speaker 10: Know, as far as Musc goes, what I would like
Speaker 10: from the man is just some etymological honesty. You know,
Speaker 10: I have no problem with him using X to make money.
Speaker 10: I have no problem with him charging a fee to
Speaker 10: everybody every month in order to be able to use
Speaker 10: the service. But why doesn't he just come out and say,
Speaker 10: this is a fee for service platform. You pay in
Speaker 10: order to be able to post. You pay, and if
Speaker 10: you don't pay, people aren't going to see what you post.
Speaker 10: Because I'm in this to make money. I'm mining your data.
Speaker 10: I'm selling your data to advertisers. That's what I do.
Speaker 10: That's fine. I don't have an issue with that, But
Speaker 10: spare me the cant about free speech, please.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think part of it too is you know,
Speaker 1: oh sorry, many times, many times, Eric, i'll see, you know,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk posts some good stuff or he reposts some
Speaker 1: good things. You know, some things are they're very valuable,
Speaker 1: and I always I've never really expressed this, but I hesitate.
Speaker 1: Sometimes if it's a repost, I usually go to the
Speaker 1: original source and I won't post it from Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: I'll post it from the original source rather than Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: and sometimes Musk has valuable comments. He makes some good points,
Speaker 1: you know, and and so I get frustrated because let
Speaker 1: me let me just post this because you've your article.
Speaker 1: In fact, let's go straight to this article right now
Speaker 1: from Eric Petersaudis dot com. You've got deconstructing Elon. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna delay any any further comment because could you tell
Speaker 1: people a little bit of you've sort of touched on this,
Speaker 1: but tell us a little bit more about what this
Speaker 1: piece is that you posted here. This was just yesterday
Speaker 1: and it's just phenomenal. If you could give people a
Speaker 1: quick thumbnail.
Speaker 10: Well, all I do basically is go through some of
Speaker 10: the talking points. You know that we're supposed to accept
Speaker 10: that Elon Musk is some sort of a ladder day
Speaker 10: Henry Ford, you know, an innovator in the free market
Speaker 10: who has produced this phenomenal product that is changing everything.
Speaker 10: And yeah, it is changing everything, but it's entirely artificial
Speaker 10: and it's the antithesis of everything that Henry Ford did.
Speaker 10: You know, Henry Ford came along and figured out a
Speaker 10: way to reduce the cost of a vehicle by simplifying
Speaker 10: it and mass producing it. And Elon Musk has figured
Speaker 10: out a way to make vehicles more expensive through government
Speaker 10: grift and graft, and you know, fundamentally changed the car
Speaker 10: business in that respect. And we've already talked about the
Speaker 10: free speech stuff, and then there's this other stuff.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 10: You know, he will, on the one hand, say that
Speaker 10: he's worried about AI and he's worried about what will
Speaker 10: happen with that, and yet he is perhaps the biggest
Speaker 10: pusher and promoter of AI and robotics. So I mean,
Speaker 10: what are you supposed to believe, you know, as somebody
Speaker 10: who's really fascinated by as I think you are as well,
Speaker 10: the National Socialist period in Germany. People who may not
Speaker 10: be very familiar with that era might not know about
Speaker 10: is that when Hitler was campaigning for chancellor the very
Speaker 10: first time he was actually elected chancellor by a plurality
Speaker 10: of the votes, he would travel by plane from one
Speaker 10: city to another city in Germany and give an entirely
Speaker 10: different speech depending on the audience, and he would say
Speaker 10: what they wanted to hear. And you know, people heard
Speaker 10: what they wanted to hear, which I think is part
Speaker 10: of Trump's appeal too, frankly, And I know right now,
Speaker 10: I'm you know, the red hat brigades are probably getting
Speaker 10: very angry at me for seeing that, but they you know,
Speaker 10: and on a human level, it's understandable, particularly when you
Speaker 10: live in a chaotic environment and you're concerned and anxious
Speaker 10: and you hear a political leader or somebody like Musk
Speaker 10: who's influential say something that sort of aligns with, you know,
Speaker 10: what your concerns are. But then he acts differently so
Speaker 10: he may to get the support. And then when he
Speaker 10: does something that ordinarily, if it had been done by
Speaker 10: let's say, Joe Biden, people would have objected to it.
Speaker 10: I've had people the supporters will just kind of ignore
Speaker 10: it or rationalize it. Really good example being Trump's beautiful vaccines,
Speaker 10: which he can talk about. You know, if it were
Speaker 10: Biden seeing that same thing, there would be these these
Speaker 10: these huge and cry outrage about about that. But you know,
Speaker 10: never mind, you know, he really didn't mean that, you know.
Speaker 10: And the same thing with you know what the red
Speaker 10: flag laws and the bump stocks and all this other stuff,
Speaker 10: and with Musk. You know, my god, two years ago,
Speaker 10: Musk was anathema to people on the Republican and conservative
Speaker 10: side for all the reasons that I went through in
Speaker 10: the article which haven't fundamentally changed. They're the same things
Speaker 10: now as they were back then. Musk favors a carbon tax.
Speaker 10: I can't think of nothing that potentially is more threatening
Speaker 10: to our way of life than a carbon tax. About
Speaker 10: this guy's is one of the most ardent believers in
Speaker 10: the carbon tax.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the other thing too is when you when
Speaker 1: you talk about threatening to our way of life. In
Speaker 1: addition to that, there's that there's the unsound predicate of it,
Speaker 1: the actually you know, the lie at the heart of it,
Speaker 1: you know, the son sanits and don't do not live
Speaker 1: by life, live not by lies. The lie at the
Speaker 1: heart of it is that there's more evidence. And I
Speaker 1: wrote a piece about it talking about this recently because
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and in fact, I'd like to bring it
Speaker 1: up with you if I can, Eric, Joe Biden just
Speaker 1: engaged in more fascism, and I talk about fascism and
Speaker 1: how in class one of the early things that I
Speaker 1: try to describe to students about the various forms of
Speaker 1: collectivism is fascism, and I discuss how, you know, it's
Speaker 1: crony capitalism, not real capitalism, otherwise known as mercantilism. As
Speaker 1: Adam Smith wrote in the Wealth of Nations in seventeen
Speaker 1: seventy six, it's favoritism. And this is the sort of
Speaker 1: thing that we definitely see with people like Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump engages in this all the time. And
Speaker 1: so Joe Biden is giving money to a coal plant
Speaker 1: in Texas to have them switch out and become a
Speaker 1: solar farm electric provider in Texas, which already has shown
Speaker 1: major problems because they have been pushing away from chi
Speaker 1: Yes petrochemicals.
Speaker 10: It's sposed to do it. It's workism. And you know
Speaker 10: there's also overlap here with the well. Actually, the National
Speaker 10: Socialists and the Soviet Communists both had five year plans.
Speaker 10: You know, they had industrial policy. Everything came from the
Speaker 10: top down. You know, the government would decide what a
Speaker 10: given industry was going to do. It wasn't the free
Speaker 10: market that decided it. The only real difference in say,
Speaker 10: National Socialist Germany versus Soviet Russia was there was still
Speaker 10: this the legal fiction of private property in the sense
Speaker 10: that you know, corporations were still nominally privately owned, but
Speaker 10: they were still directed by the state. You know, in
Speaker 10: the Soviet system, you know, you did not have the
Speaker 10: fiction of private property, there was state property, and state
Speaker 10: property was owned by the party and the people who
Speaker 10: controlled the party. That was really the only difference between
Speaker 10: the two systems.
Speaker 1: Absolutely right. And it's it's interesting, you know, I wrote
Speaker 1: about Antifa and how Antifa was supposedly anti fascist, but
Speaker 1: they really were not anti collectivists at all, and people
Speaker 1: just didn't want folks to know. Evidently that anti vau
Speaker 1: has started during Stalin's Soviet Union to try to infiltrate
Speaker 1: the National Socialists, to bring them over to the world
Speaker 1: socialist side. And it's all a battle between individual freedom
Speaker 1: and voluntary choice and expressing our values peacefully, hopefully in
Speaker 1: smaller communities where we have to show respect for each
Speaker 1: other versus the giant hegemony of the state. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's all there is. You know, it's so simple. Christ
Speaker 1: experienced it. We're experiencing it. And we have these people
Speaker 1: who either are fraudulent or they have little facets of
Speaker 1: these things where either they're deluding themselves or they're somehow
Speaker 1: going along to get along. And even many of the
Speaker 1: supporters of these people do the same thing. They'll shave
Speaker 1: off the areas where they don't. It's cognitive dissonance. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it,
Speaker 1: and they go along, this is going to be my guy.
Speaker 1: He's the savior. He's fighting the other power block. But
Speaker 1: your power block as well should be questioned, and they
Speaker 1: don't do it. It's very frustrated.
Speaker 10: We all suffer from imperfect knowledge, you know. We go
Speaker 10: through life trying to figure things out, and a lot
Speaker 10: of people are at a tremendous disadvantage because they've grown
Speaker 10: up in a culture and within a government school system
Speaker 10: that actively tries to cripple their cognitive capacity to prevent
Speaker 10: them from learning how to reason in the way that
Speaker 10: people back in the eighteenth century understood reason. And that's why,
Speaker 10: for example, you have the simplistic conception of what fascism is.
Speaker 10: You use that word in generally speaking the product of
Speaker 10: the public school, immediately think of storm trooping, jack booting,
Speaker 10: you know, whereas that's not the essence of fascism at all.
Speaker 10: You know, fascism is, and you can go to the
Speaker 10: Capitol and see it in the embodiment of the fascis,
Speaker 10: which were the bundle carried by the Roman lictors. You know,
Speaker 10: that symbolize the merger of state and corporate power together.
Speaker 10: And if you want to know more about that, those
Speaker 10: who listening read Mussolini, who was at least sort of
Speaker 10: an intellectual and actually fleshed out some of this stuff
Speaker 10: you know.
Speaker 1: Here with that absolutely you know, and it's funny. I
Speaker 1: didn't even bring up the fascis, but you're just this
Speaker 1: is I want to if I can. This is my
Speaker 1: the backside of MRCTV because I got to show you this.
Speaker 1: It's uncanny that you're talking about this. So this is
Speaker 1: that new piece that I had released on the twenty
Speaker 1: six yesterday for MRCTV. More federal fascism, fed's paid Texas
Speaker 1: coal power plan, and you're nailing. I said early each
Speaker 1: semester in political economics class, I try to show students
Speaker 1: all the forms of pernicious statism i e. Force collectivism,
Speaker 1: and one of the most important is fascism. I focus
Speaker 1: on fascism because pop media and leftist anti capitalists used
Speaker 1: the term to apply to any unwoke set of ideals.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like you could have sat next to
Speaker 1: me while I was writing this and dictated it to me.
Speaker 1: It was amazing.
Speaker 17: Set.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 10: It's excellent psychological propaganda in the sense that it negates
Speaker 10: any thoughtful looking into what the substance of fascism really is.
Speaker 10: You shut it down by conjuring this image of goose
Speaker 10: stepping Nazis, you know, and that ends the discussion.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and you add the accouterments, all the decorative
Speaker 1: framing of it's for the nation, it's for our good,
Speaker 1: it's for the culture, it's for this, it's for that,
Speaker 1: and if you can mix in, we've got to protect
Speaker 1: the culture from this or that. After the government central
Speaker 1: planners have already screwed something up. You've got a perfect
Speaker 1: mix the government. You got the perfect dialectic. You got
Speaker 1: one side of the government that can screw something up.
Speaker 1: Then the other side can say, hey, if you rely
Speaker 1: on the government to fix what the government did, everything
Speaker 1: will be fine. Culture will be perfect again, and you
Speaker 1: get to more fascism. We've got to protect this business.
Speaker 1: We've got to stop this business. We've got to stop
Speaker 1: TikTok because that there's that word China, so we've got
Speaker 1: to stop. I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 10: Well, that's kind of the order industries in the state
Speaker 10: that it's in, particularly since two thousand and a two
Speaker 10: thousand and nine when GM and four basically went bankrupt
Speaker 10: at that time, and we're considered to be too big
Speaker 10: to fail along with these big financial entities in New York,
Speaker 10: and instead of letting the market sort it out and
Speaker 10: perhaps salvage the elements of these these companies that were
Speaker 10: reviable and had some value, the government came in and decided, no, no, no,
Speaker 10: we can't allow that to happen. We're going to inject
Speaker 10: as many taxpayer dollars as it takes to kind of
Speaker 10: revive the corpse somehow, like Frankenstein on the table and
Speaker 10: keep it going. And of course at that time, then
Speaker 10: what happens is that these companies become beholden to the government.
Speaker 10: They become in effect part of the government. Yes, so
Speaker 10: that's why you have seen you know, general in my
Speaker 10: own field, in General Motors and four. And this is
Speaker 10: the true of the industry generally, but really specifically with
Speaker 10: regard to them.
Speaker 1: Not only not.
Speaker 10: Oppose the regulatory apparat much since two thousand and eight,
Speaker 10: two thousand and nine and all these edicts that keep
Speaker 10: coming out of the deep Dot NITZA and the EPA,
Speaker 10: but actually anticipating and working hand in glove with the
Speaker 10: government to come up with more and to charge us
Speaker 10: more for them.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just like you said about Musk. You know,
Speaker 1: now that he's had his company conform and their set,
Speaker 1: he doesn't want the other ones to come in. So
Speaker 1: if they can put barriers up, barriers to entry up,
Speaker 1: obviously it's all rent seeking and it's you know, it
Speaker 1: comes again with those accouterments of well, we've got to
Speaker 1: protect this company GM. Perfect example. It's just an example,
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight you know, seventeen billion dollars
Speaker 1: given to GM and they got a three year lift
Speaker 1: from their corporate taxes that they had to pay, while Ford,
Speaker 1: which didn't take a bailout, had to pay its corporate taxes.
Speaker 1: And remember Eric, for that period, GM finally started to
Speaker 1: show a profit and it was the exact amount that
Speaker 1: they would have had to have paid for their corporate taxes.
Speaker 1: Remember that that was amazing. It was like, oh, it's incredible.
Speaker 1: And it all comes because of the example of protectionism. Well,
Speaker 1: and Frederick Bossi, he writes about this so much. If
Speaker 1: the politicians can institutionally make get people to think that
Speaker 1: there has to be something that has to be kept
Speaker 1: going for American American tradition, American strategic needs or the
Speaker 1: national defense, or whatever it might be. Then they will
Speaker 1: pick and choose any industry that gives them the feedback
Speaker 1: to keep them in power and claim that they're part
Speaker 1: of what is so important and necessary for our future.
Speaker 1: It's the buggy whip manufacturers all over again. It's when
Speaker 1: the car gets introduced. We can't allow the buggy whip
Speaker 1: makers to go out of business. There's no demand for
Speaker 1: them anymore. It's decreased dramatically like GM. Maybe they've mismanaged
Speaker 1: their businesses because they've given such massive retirement benefits to
Speaker 1: their unionized employees, which themselves have been given benefits because
Speaker 1: of the destructive attacks of politicians and in the favoritism
Speaker 1: that they've given to unions. So the companies themselves can't
Speaker 1: compete against foreign companies, or they moved their manufacturing over
Speaker 1: to Korea or something like that to do it with
Speaker 1: less expense and less overhead, whether it's because of energy
Speaker 1: or the terrorists, and then they applied terrorifts on us,
Speaker 1: and we're screwed over even more. It's amazing to see
Speaker 1: how they can use these arguments to say we're doing
Speaker 1: it for your good, we're protecting GM and those jobs. Well,
Speaker 1: then why have any progress in business in any way whatsoever? Now?
Speaker 1: With the GM thing to sort of finish off. Of course,
Speaker 1: that got inflamed because of the bubble of all of
Speaker 1: the money that was poured out with the near zero
Speaker 1: percent interest rates, and of course the amount of money
Speaker 1: that went into the housing system. The banks started to collapse,
Speaker 1: and then they pumped even more money in with the
Speaker 1: American Recovery Act, and they claimed as jud Greg did
Speaker 1: the suppose a conservative on Fox News the night they
Speaker 1: had the initial vote for it and it failed, and
Speaker 1: then they went back the next couple days and they
Speaker 1: did another vote in that follow two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: he said, this is about people's retirements, talking about because
Speaker 1: they had to bail out the banks. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: do you understand that creating seventeen trillion dollars or I
Speaker 1: mean two trillion dollars is somehow maybe going to destroy
Speaker 1: people's buying power. Maybe their retirements aren't gonna buy as
Speaker 1: much anymore. Why don't you stop let this bubble collapse?
Speaker 1: And they don't do it. They don't do it because
Speaker 1: they have all these things they've got to keep going.
Speaker 1: And finally, what is not seen or all the opportunities
Speaker 1: when they're supporting GM, keeping them going when they're not
Speaker 1: something that should be going, or they're sending money out
Speaker 1: to these green industries, or again and show I'll show
Speaker 1: this as an example. They're sending one billion dollars to
Speaker 1: this Texas company, the Texas Tribune reports is a billion
Speaker 1: dollars to an electric cooperative called the San Miguel Electric Cooperative.
Speaker 1: They were using coal that's reliable, you can burn coal
Speaker 1: in the winter, doesn't get destroyed by hail. And instead
Speaker 1: they're going to take the subsidy, they're taking the payoff
Speaker 1: and it's all part of the Biden thing and they're
Speaker 1: saying it's going to support jobs. But what is not
Speaker 1: seen are the jobs that won't be created because that
Speaker 1: money has been taken from people.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and one of the more malevolent and ingenious aspects
Speaker 10: of this, and it's broad brush here, is the way
Speaker 10: they have set us against each other such that we
Speaker 10: don't see who the common enemy is. So, you know,
Speaker 10: as regards GM, as regards the finance institutions, you know,
Speaker 10: people in that segment are terrified understandably of losing their
Speaker 10: jobs and losing their pensions, so naturally they support the bailouts,
Speaker 10: you know. And it's of a piece with Social Security.
Speaker 10: It's it's of the same thing, same cloth. You know,
Speaker 10: the people who have been leashed their entire working lives
Speaker 10: to contribute to social security and who are now too
Speaker 10: old to work and who depend on social security, of
Speaker 10: course they're going to fight tooth and nail to to
Speaker 10: keep Social Security around. So you know, we're battling and
Speaker 10: bickering with each other without seeing that we're being systematically
Speaker 10: and served and impoverished by this entity's that's called government,
Speaker 10: you know, whereas sure, you know, life is sometimes unfair. Sometimes,
Speaker 10: you know, things don't work out the way you want
Speaker 10: them to work out. But in the long haul, you know,
Speaker 10: if things are allowed to correct themselves, when bad decisions
Speaker 10: have consequences, you know, we sorted out, we figure out
Speaker 10: what we did wrong, and we do something different and
Speaker 10: better the next time. In the long run, things are
Speaker 10: better for everybody that way than rewarding failure.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know it. Frederick Bastia distilled it very
Speaker 1: well obviously, you know when he said government is that
Speaker 1: great fiction by which everyone endeavors to live off of
Speaker 1: everyone else, and in order to smooth that over, you
Speaker 1: get the central bank connection or even government under Rome.
Speaker 1: Even if they didn't farm out their banking to a
Speaker 1: central bank, they were you know, calling back the coins
Speaker 1: and shaving the coins of some of their silver and
Speaker 1: creating new coins to inflate the monetary system and claiming
Speaker 1: the old coins were still at the same way. So
Speaker 1: it's a cipher to what, you know, what happens now
Speaker 1: when they create the money out of thin air and
Speaker 1: then buy the US bonds with it. But with Bostyad's
Speaker 1: dictum about government being that great fiction where everybody tries
Speaker 1: to live off of everyone else, the way they try
Speaker 1: to smooth that over is to fund all of the
Speaker 1: different things that they're trying to do to appeal to
Speaker 1: people by doing the central bank. And then in the background,
Speaker 1: what's actually happening the whole time is the monster of
Speaker 1: inflation is eating away at everybody's livelihood except the people
Speaker 1: who get the money right at the start that connected
Speaker 1: people to the government. It's harming all of us. Even
Speaker 1: as they hand out all this candy to people, they
Speaker 1: don't people don't even realize that they're getting fewer and
Speaker 1: fewer opportunities to eat the candy, and the candy is
Speaker 1: worth less and less and less.
Speaker 10: Sure it comes, it calls to mind two dictums, you know.
Speaker 10: The first is that you can't cheat an honest man,
Speaker 10: and the second is that there's no such thing as
Speaker 10: a free lunch, you know. And I think that that's
Speaker 10: a good lesson to teach kids, because it's a real
Speaker 10: wise lesson and it's one that we as a culture
Speaker 10: have forgotten.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 10: People tend to believe that there is such a thing
Speaker 10: as a free lunch, and they tend to believe that, yeah, boy, this,
Speaker 10: you know, and they know in their minds, Okay, I'm
Speaker 10: being told something by a politician that this is going
Speaker 10: to benefit me somehow. But if they were honest and
Speaker 10: thought about it, that sounds snaky and sleezy. There's got
Speaker 10: to be something wrong with that. How is it that
Speaker 10: I'm going to get something that benefits me that isn't
Speaker 10: going to cost somebody else something which is dishonest. So,
Speaker 10: you know, if you don't want to live honestly, and
Speaker 10: you don't want to live by lying to yourself about
Speaker 10: where the source of your your mana your benefits come
Speaker 10: from you know, that's what you have to do. And
Speaker 10: if we did that, we did that once as a culture.
Speaker 10: Once upon a time it was shameful to be a
Speaker 10: parasite and you know, to take money from other people
Speaker 10: by force. Now it's kind of like a belligerent entitlement.
Speaker 10: You know, you suggest to somebody that that perhaps government
Speaker 10: cheese should be just that government cheese, not government sushi,
Speaker 10: and they, you know, they get very upset.
Speaker 1: When you say that that's absolutely right. It's it's a
Speaker 1: very strange thing, you know. Obviously it makes me thinks
Speaker 1: about Alexei Totakville, who discussed how you know, this is
Speaker 1: a very good system, but it will only survive until
Speaker 1: the point where people realize, as BOSSI has said, that
Speaker 1: they can live off of other people by majority vote.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I've brought up the point on
Speaker 1: liberty conspiracy before as as you know, as much as
Speaker 1: people admire the Constitution as being a bulwark against that
Speaker 1: total control, really constitutional republics, you know, people will say,
Speaker 1: you know, we are not a democracy again, throwing that inclusive.
Speaker 1: You're in there as well, whether you want to be
Speaker 1: part of it or not. We are not a democracy,
Speaker 1: this anthipomorphizing of it, but also the the the idea
Speaker 1: that constitutionalism as voted on by a bunch of other
Speaker 1: people is anything other than just democracy A couple steps removed. Sure, right,
Speaker 1: So so representative government is still in the end, a
Speaker 1: group of people having a majority vote based on a
Speaker 1: group of people who had a majority vote to set
Speaker 1: up these people to do these majority votes. So it's
Speaker 1: still you can't escape it. This is why The Prisoner
Speaker 1: the TV series is so special to me.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a metaphysical and adventurous and intellectual ways. It
Speaker 1: explores a lot of these questions and and you know,
Speaker 1: I go back to Elon musk As you're talking about
Speaker 1: just dealing honestly with people. Let me show let me
Speaker 1: show that again. If people will go to Eric Peters,
Speaker 1: otto's just round that off. And I want to talk
Speaker 1: about a couple of the other pieces and get your thoughts. Eric.
Speaker 1: I've saved a video segment of Donald Trump. If you
Speaker 1: don't mind, Uh, we'll do it.
Speaker 10: What's that absolutely, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, great? So, uh, the deconstructing Elon piece that you
Speaker 1: put out, I know you've been you know, you've been
Speaker 1: watching Elon for quite a while, and you mentioned you
Speaker 1: mentioned here that where's it. I love this part. You say, yeah,
Speaker 1: Musk bought X and promised it would henceforth be a
Speaker 1: free speech venue. It is nothing of the kind. It
Speaker 1: is a for profit operation that requires those who wish
Speaker 1: their speech I either post to be seen, to pay
Speaker 1: in order for them to be seen monthly ongoing. It
Speaker 1: is only eight dollars, say some apologists, but that is
Speaker 1: beside the point, the point being that having to pay
Speaker 1: for speech means it's not free. And if you do
Speaker 1: pay for your speech to be seen, it still isn't
Speaker 1: free because if you say certain forbotten things, as you
Speaker 1: said about certain verbotten topics, then your speech will be suppressed,
Speaker 1: if not entirely erased. Post something so called anti semitic,
Speaker 1: that is, something critical but factual regarding the policies or
Speaker 1: actions of the government of Israel, no matter how heen
Speaker 1: is the policies or actions at issue, and see for yourself,
Speaker 1: or post something critical of Musk himself. Now, I want
Speaker 1: to go back to your point about Brazil because I
Speaker 1: have I have some friends who in Washington have been
Speaker 1: working with people from X and they've been talking to me,
Speaker 1: and I'm getting a sense they're sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: behind the scenes sort of folks. So occasionally they'll say
Speaker 1: something and I'll say, wait a minute. I get a
Speaker 1: sense that they think that Musk's long game is that
Speaker 1: he wants to introduce the X phone, have the payment
Speaker 1: system on the X phone, and they think for beneficial reasons,
Speaker 1: and it could you know, you think about this. You
Speaker 1: could at first blush agree with them. One could, I say,
Speaker 1: to be fair, not you, but one could at first
Speaker 1: blush agree and say okay, I see where you're coming
Speaker 1: from here. They'll say, yeah, see what he wants to
Speaker 1: do is he wants to get the x phone in
Speaker 1: everybody's hand. In fact, I've heard they'll tell me that
Speaker 1: Musk doesn't even care if people copy the technology as
Speaker 1: long as the user interface gets into their hands, because
Speaker 1: it'll go up to starlink and he will be able
Speaker 1: to circumvent any on the ground government from blocking the
Speaker 1: transmission and then they'll be free speech for everybody. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, let me get this straight. So you
Speaker 1: don't think that government moves like that in Brazil have
Speaker 1: already shown us what will happen in the future. If
Speaker 1: even if he gets that technology. Even if they can't
Speaker 1: block it per se, you know, years down the line,
Speaker 1: they might try to block it somehow with signal jamming
Speaker 1: or whatever. But even if they can't block it, you
Speaker 1: don't think they'll block it through legal means, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, let me know your thoughts, because I can
Speaker 1: see that you know.
Speaker 10: I'll start by saying that I'm a big fan of decentralization,
Speaker 10: and then let me preface that remark by bringing up
Speaker 10: something that I know you'll be familiar with because you're
Speaker 10: a sci fi guy like me, and you probably read
Speaker 10: Philip Dick's Do Android's Dream of Electric sheeld right. It's
Speaker 10: just a basis for the Blade Runner novel I believe,
Speaker 10: run a movie, excuse me, And they don't really get
Speaker 10: into this so much in the movie, but they do
Speaker 10: in the book. In the future, in this dystopian future
Speaker 10: that Dick laid out back in the sixties, this one
Speaker 10: gigantic corporation material corporation controlled everything. I mean, it had
Speaker 10: absolute control over everything. And that's the tendency that we're
Speaker 10: seeing the centralization of everything. So Musk is a part
Speaker 10: of that, and Amazon is a part of that, and
Speaker 10: what's going to happen. We're going to get to the
Speaker 10: point where Musk controls all information propagation and you buy
Speaker 10: everything from Amazon, and how is that going to How
Speaker 10: is that going to give us an alternative if these
Speaker 10: if these entities turn out to be evil. As Google
Speaker 10: used to like to say, well, what are we going
Speaker 10: to do? Because by that time, the gate's been locked
Speaker 10: and we're in the pen and there's almost nothing that
Speaker 10: we'll be able to do about it. I think people
Speaker 10: who believe in freedom and liberty should be focusing on decentralization, locality,
Speaker 10: you know, figuring out ways to disconnect from all of
Speaker 10: this centralization. Centralization goes hand in hand in hand with
Speaker 10: authoritarianism and collectivism, you know it another way, you cannot
Speaker 10: have authoritarianism and collectivism within a decentralized context. And that's
Speaker 10: what the originally the Thirteen Colonies tried to establish that
Speaker 10: by having a decentralized form of government, in which the
Speaker 10: thirteen Colonies became independent sovereign states. And it's why that
Speaker 10: they were referred to as plural in the original wordings,
Speaker 10: not the United States singular, you know, really became administrative.
Speaker 10: Dick's districts of the federal government, which is what they
Speaker 10: became after the Civil War. The idea was that if
Speaker 10: you lived in one state, say Virginia, and you didn't
Speaker 10: like what the government in Virginia was doing, well, you
Speaker 10: had the option to go to North Carolina, let's say,
Speaker 10: or another state where things were different and more to
Speaker 10: your liking. And that kept things in balance and in
Speaker 10: check because there were so many options and alternatives, and
Speaker 10: it's always a good thing to have alternatives and options,
Speaker 10: whether in politics or economics. If you haven't got them,
Speaker 10: well then you've got no choice, right absolutely.
Speaker 1: And you know it's I think if you look at
Speaker 1: the work of F. A. Hyek, you know, when he
Speaker 1: got the Nobel Prize for the Spheres of Control and
Speaker 1: the Information Problem and so on. I was sort of
Speaker 1: brought up by a guy who had already read a
Speaker 1: lot of highak stuff. So I sort of just you know,
Speaker 1: whether my dad taught me that or I just sort
Speaker 1: of realized, like, the larger the area of control, the
Speaker 1: more people are hurt by the bad ideas, the less
Speaker 1: you know, the less you have knowledge of the local issues,
Speaker 1: and the less resolution you can get or satisfaction expression
Speaker 1: you can get. Because you've got to try to satisfy
Speaker 1: so many different groups, right, so many different people. And
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the reasons why I really like
Speaker 1: that Irish Brehon laws system, the old clan system. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. And it's it's also interesting
Speaker 1: because I think that when you see this, they use again,
Speaker 1: these these themes and flag waving and so on to
Speaker 1: sort of get everybody in a large land mass to
Speaker 1: connect to one or two things that they think are
Speaker 1: so great, even if they're fictions. You know, American traditionalism, Well,
Speaker 1: what does that mean in Hawaii versus main You know,
Speaker 1: they're so different, they're they're quite different. And to be
Speaker 1: able to retain that authentic vibe is great. I love,
Speaker 1: you know, people having some different traditions and things like that.
Speaker 1: And again, you know, if we look at things like
Speaker 1: the US government getting involved in natural disaster AID and
Speaker 1: things like that, Well, isn't it a bit of an
Speaker 1: affront to somebody who lives in Alaska to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you're not on Cape Cod, but you know there was
Speaker 1: a storm on Cape Cod. Really, how bad was it? Well,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell you how bad it was. We'll
Speaker 1: define how bad it is we're going to call it
Speaker 1: an emergency. Yeah, but you know I was thinking like
Speaker 1: maybe of putting an extension on my driveway because I
Speaker 1: got to rebuild that. No, no, we're going to take
Speaker 1: your money for Cape Cod. It's just it just is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You can't manage any of it. And always you got
Speaker 1: to rely on the central planners. You've got to rely
Speaker 1: on the controllers. And he isn't where I'm glad you
Speaker 1: brought that up, because apparently, you know, one Zelensky is
Speaker 1: worth how many millions of Americans. I mean, it's really
Speaker 1: really affrontress.
Speaker 13: Isn't it.
Speaker 1: Just as Sebastian Gorka. What a just insufferable set of
Speaker 1: things that guy has to say almost every time he
Speaker 1: opens his mouth.
Speaker 10: He's poor people who are still suffering right now in
Speaker 10: western North Carolina, which isn't far from me at all.
Speaker 10: You know about I don't know three hours down the
Speaker 10: road from where I live. You know, people are getting
Speaker 10: seven seven hundred and fifty dollars checks. I think it
Speaker 10: is from female which by the way, they have to
Speaker 10: pay back. It's it's alone, it's not it's not an
Speaker 10: aid as such. And meanwhile, this Zelenski Cretan who by
Speaker 10: the way, it gets my backup that they call this
Speaker 10: guy president. Oh, I know, he's a dictator. He suspended elections. Yeah,
Speaker 10: he's no different. He he's like the Eastern European Dame.
Speaker 1: I mean if you were, if you were run on
Speaker 1: the shelf. He's way past his date. He's supposed to
Speaker 1: be out of office a long time ago, right, they.
Speaker 10: Tell us, you know it's necessary, you know, because putin bad.
Speaker 10: We have to support Ukraine because Ukraine is a democratic.
Speaker 1: No, it isn't right, I know. And he comes, he's
Speaker 1: he's the he's the offspring of the coup from late
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen and in twenty fourteen of an illegitimate United
Speaker 1: States implanted NATO implanted government that was part of the
Speaker 1: expansion plans of NATO, part of the whole uh you know,
Speaker 1: uh campaign for a New American century and and I
Speaker 1: won't even talk about Operation Timber Sycamore in Syria. You know,
Speaker 1: all these things, and people just go along with this stuff.
Speaker 1: They say it just is It is amazing to me
Speaker 1: because it's just right in front of your face. And
Speaker 1: I know, I told you Eric before. You know, a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who worked for the Obama administration came
Speaker 1: up to me in December because I was reporting on
Speaker 1: Ukraine and the overthrow. They're the min On coup that
Speaker 1: was happening. He said, hey, where are you getting your
Speaker 1: information about Ukraine? And I was like, I'm just looking
Speaker 1: stuff up, and he goes, well, you're right, there's a
Speaker 1: lot more. And obviously we've found out the much more,
Speaker 1: maybe not even all of it, you know, going back.
Speaker 10: To the centralization, you know, to juxtapose it against what's
Speaker 10: happening now with centralization, bring it down to the neighborhood level.
Speaker 10: You know, we hear oftentimes these status talk about how
Speaker 10: it's our obligation to help other people, meaning the government's
Speaker 10: going to come in and it's going to take your money,
Speaker 10: and then it's going to disburst that money according to
Speaker 10: its own whims, to people you don't even know, perhaps
Speaker 10: in an entirely different country. How about something like local.
Speaker 10: You know, if my neighbor down the road, who I know,
Speaker 10: falls on hard times, a tree falls on his house,
Speaker 10: and some of my other neighbors, maybe we go over
Speaker 10: there with our chainsaws and we cut up the tree.
Speaker 10: We help the guy, you know, and if he needs
Speaker 10: a ride to get down.
Speaker 1: To the viza. We do think we I think I've
Speaker 1: frozen up, but I think, oh, I think we froze
Speaker 1: up for a second. There we're back.
Speaker 10: I'm good. But anyway, so you know, there's that human
Speaker 10: aspect of that relationship that's there that's voluntarily, that's voluntary
Speaker 10: and not exploitative in the sense that I know my
Speaker 10: neighbor personally, you know, I know what the problem is
Speaker 10: and if it should come to pass that that neighbor
Speaker 10: tends tries to abuse the help or the generosity of
Speaker 10: the neighbors. Because it's voluntarily voluntary, you can withdraw your help, right.
Speaker 10: You don't have a situation that happens when you've got
Speaker 10: this this centralized so called help, where this permanent apparat
Speaker 10: this government entity simply comes in, takes out every much
Speaker 10: money of yours that they want to take and then
Speaker 10: decides how they're going to use it and exactly puts
Speaker 10: you the bird along the way. Yeah, have no control
Speaker 10: over that, and so there's no accountability, there's no ability
Speaker 10: to prevent abuse.
Speaker 1: And it's very interesting because we're already seeing the conflict
Speaker 1: between the FEMA organizers, just like we saw with Katrina
Speaker 1: in New Orleans and so on. And you know, in
Speaker 1: that case, Mayor Nagan was a complete basket case. But
Speaker 1: in this case, in places like North Carolina and others
Speaker 1: where local people are organized, people have drones, they have helicopters,
Speaker 1: and they're being prevented. They're literally being prevented. You know,
Speaker 1: the same thing happened in New Orleans with Walmart and
Speaker 1: ups tried to bring stuff in and they were they
Speaker 1: had roadblocks put us by FEMA. They couldn't even get in,
Speaker 1: they had to sit in parking lots. I mean, just absurd,
Speaker 1: because it's all a terf war. And in the meantime,
Speaker 1: it's very important.
Speaker 10: That the pority of the government never be challenged. That's
Speaker 10: the key thing to understand. They don't want people to realize, hey,
Speaker 10: we can handle this ourselves. We have the confidence, we
Speaker 10: have the capability to deal with the problem. What they
Speaker 10: want is this is sort of passive, souphine, helpless people
Speaker 10: who sit with their hands folded in their left Help me,
Speaker 10: please save me. That's what they want.
Speaker 1: And you know, you know it's interesting, Eric, And if
Speaker 1: I can't, I'd like to play this piece for you
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump, because that fits in with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: recently announced that he's going to pull out funding from
Speaker 1: the WHO. Right, that was his big thing over the
Speaker 1: past thirty six hours or so, said, good, it's that
Speaker 1: funny now he you know, as I mentioned on The
Speaker 1: Liberty Conspiracy last night, that's an easy one for him,
Speaker 1: essentially because he already did that a while back, and
Speaker 1: then the Gates Foundation came in with, you know, billions
Speaker 1: and billions and filled that slot until Biden came back,
Speaker 1: and then he refunded the WHO. But what's what is
Speaker 1: interesting is as I listened to the details of what
Speaker 1: he said, and I didn't bring it up last night
Speaker 1: when I was streaming on the show, Trump doesn't say
Speaker 1: we're going to get out of that top down thing,
Speaker 1: that worldwide thing, per se. And so i'd love to
Speaker 1: play this for you. There are a couple segments here
Speaker 1: that I'd love to play for you. This comes from
Speaker 1: that real America's voice thing that I was playing a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier to try to, you know, say like, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe take a step back from the idle worship here.
Speaker 1: But here is a little bit of what he had
Speaker 1: to say, and I'd love to get your thoughts on this.
Speaker 16: Twenty nine was a long list, but he's start with
Speaker 16: a big list of important items like this one.
Speaker 17: Listen, the United States will withdraw from the corrupt World
Speaker 17: Health Organization, which, in light of his utter failure on COVID,
Speaker 17: they had a tremendous disaster on COVID, deserves to be
Speaker 17: completely abolished and replaced.
Speaker 1: Okay, so my first point is, how can any self
Speaker 1: respecting host hear Donald Trump say they screwed up on COVID.
Speaker 1: He's in the frame. He is responsible. He himself is
Speaker 1: responsible for doing that medical emergency in twenty twenty, for
Speaker 1: bringing in Burcks and Fauci, for allowing these hospitals to
Speaker 1: get subsidized contrary to the constitution, for the Cares Act,
Speaker 1: the PPP Act, which just a few days ago they
Speaker 1: mentioned even more celebrities. They got millions of dollars in
Speaker 1: the PPP stuff. It doesn't matter what the outcome of
Speaker 1: it is. The precept of it is wrong. It's unconstitutional,
Speaker 1: and on the deeper baseline, it's immoral. I don't yet,
Speaker 1: they're not questioning, and there's there's a little bit more,
Speaker 1: but I want to allow you to come in with
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are.
Speaker 10: In this first part, Oh, I was going to say,
Speaker 10: I don't necessarily fault him for the initial declaration of
Speaker 10: the emergency. What I fault him for is that by
Speaker 10: the summer of twenty twenty it was apparent there was
Speaker 10: no need for an emergency anymore, and he did not
Speaker 10: rescind the emergency, which extended into the Biden regime. And
Speaker 10: not only that, he spent the remainder of that year
Speaker 10: standing like a spray tan wooden Indian while Fauci became
Speaker 10: the de facto president. Somehow, that's, you know, the fault
Speaker 10: of the who, rather than you know, the colossus Orange man.
Speaker 10: It's astounding to me, by the way, to idolatry. Did
Speaker 10: you see they're going to build a statue to this
Speaker 10: man outside of the place in Pennsylvania where the assassination
Speaker 10: took assassination time?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Oh?
Speaker 10: Wasn't there a time when you had to be dead
Speaker 10: before they would put up a statue to you. The
Speaker 10: only instance I can think of statues being erected while
Speaker 10: people were living were in Fascist Italy in Germany.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, And it comes right back to Mussolini again.
Speaker 1: We're talking. This is amazing, all right. So here's a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Eric Peters is our guest, folks, and
Speaker 1: I'll get ready to read some of your comments and
Speaker 1: quotes coming up on Rockman and we can post them.
Speaker 1: The Russian team can post them over on x Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin just climbed off his bear, so everything's good. Here's
Speaker 1: a little bit more.
Speaker 17: Then I will work to forge a new coalition of
Speaker 17: nations that are strongly committed to protecting help while also
Speaker 17: upholding sovereignty and freedom. I want to thank you very much,
Speaker 17: but I also want to say this. I could have
Speaker 17: renegotiated the deal. I could have gone into the World
Speaker 17: Health Organization for twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 5: Fighten didn't take that deal. He's paying almost five hundred
Speaker 5: million dollars.
Speaker 17: They were so anxious to get the United States back
Speaker 17: after I terminated the agreement. They were so anxious to
Speaker 17: get it back that they offered me a deal twenty
Speaker 17: five to thirty million dollars, and I said, no, I'll
Speaker 17: wait gotten it for less. But I didn't want less.
Speaker 17: At that point, we're paying almost five hundred million. Could
Speaker 17: have done it for twenty five to thirty. Biden took
Speaker 17: the five hundred almost the five hundred million dollar deal.
Speaker 17: He knew he could have gotten back in for less,
Speaker 17: so why did he pay so much?
Speaker 5: But that's just one of many things that are wrong
Speaker 5: with our country.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there you go. Eric, It's a real mix
Speaker 1: bag there. But on balance, really what he's talking about
Speaker 1: is he's not so upset about the WHO overall, if
Speaker 1: it could again be managed well consequentialist, it's the expense
Speaker 1: of it, We're going to have a different Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he just he wants to replace the WHO. How about
Speaker 1: not have it? Where do you get the idea that
Speaker 1: the US government is supposed to have anything to do
Speaker 1: with people's medical health? Stop it up.
Speaker 10: It's become all encompassing. And that's fundamentally the problem. You know,
Speaker 10: we've lost sight of the idea that if government had
Speaker 10: as any legitimate role at all, at least as it
Speaker 10: was understood in the eighteenth century when the Constitution was
Speaker 10: written in the Articles of Confederation were around, it is
Speaker 10: to provide a framework for the adjudication of civil laws
Speaker 10: and to deal with people who commit crimes and crimes
Speaker 10: for once upon a time defined as having caused harm
Speaker 10: to persons or property, meaning that there was a victim
Speaker 10: involved and other than that, the government was supposed to
Speaker 10: not be involved, was supposed to be free to organize
Speaker 10: their own lives and to interact with one another consensually
Speaker 10: and voluntarily. And now we've got to the point where
Speaker 10: the state, the federal government literally micromanages practically everything. I mean,
Speaker 10: it's going to get to the point where there're going
Speaker 10: to be federal regulations regarding what time you can get
Speaker 10: up in the morning to brush your teeth, and how
Speaker 10: you must brush your teeth, and perhaps there's going to
Speaker 10: be a livestream camera in your bathroom to make sure
Speaker 10: you do it correctly.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, with the canard of public health, which
Speaker 1: of course is a canard, it's a collectivist. It allows
Speaker 1: for the sacrifice of an individual for whatever the government
Speaker 1: defined is the best for the public health. The attack
Speaker 1: on people's rights, and all these different types of things.
Speaker 1: We see that even in England, they were going to
Speaker 1: tell obese people, well, for voluntary surgeries, for elective surgeries
Speaker 1: like knee things, things like that, or smokers, you have
Speaker 1: to show us that you've quit smoking for x amount
Speaker 1: of time, or you have to lose this amount of weight.
Speaker 1: We're going to put other people ahead of you. This
Speaker 1: is exactly what they were doing in Canada. When I
Speaker 1: was in Canada, I was hanging out with the carpenters.
Speaker 1: They would say the government of the British Columbian governments
Speaker 1: literally said, because they were paying everybody's health care. They
Speaker 1: didn't say this, but this is the way that it worked.
Speaker 1: Because they had a government run public health care system.
Speaker 1: They were paying people's bills. So people were overutilizing things
Speaker 1: when they weren't husbanding their own resources, they were using
Speaker 1: somebody else's and they were going to the doctors more
Speaker 1: for stuff that they normally, if they were deciding for themselves,
Speaker 1: might not have done it. They might have waited or
Speaker 1: done something else, gone natural path, whatever. And then the
Speaker 1: doctors themselves were making good money from all these people
Speaker 1: were coming in, but the government was getting over They
Speaker 1: were running out of money, so they put caps on
Speaker 1: what they would pay the doctors. Of course, that's always
Speaker 1: the way it goes. They put price gaps in and
Speaker 1: then the doctor said, hey, now we're not making what
Speaker 1: we think we deserve for our services, so we're going
Speaker 1: to restrict the amount of time that we see the patients,
Speaker 1: and we're going to increase the number of patients per day,
Speaker 1: so we can make up for what we've been losing
Speaker 1: here because you put caps on all these services. So
Speaker 1: then they got more complaints from the customers, the patients
Speaker 1: who said, hey, I'm going into one office, I'm only
Speaker 1: in there for three minutes, and then they're shuffling me out.
Speaker 1: What's going on. So then they come out with the
Speaker 1: government with the new band aid over the the you know,
Speaker 1: over the the the the injury. They've already caused to say, well,
Speaker 1: now we're going to impose limits on the number of
Speaker 1: patients that doctors can see per day, and we're going
Speaker 1: to say what they have to see first and what
Speaker 1: takes precedence. So one of the carpenters on the set
Speaker 1: said to me, he said, does that mean that they
Speaker 1: can tell us what we can get sick with on
Speaker 1: what days? And I said, essentially, that is what it
Speaker 1: tells you. That is what it says.
Speaker 10: All the facets of this is one size fits all,
Speaker 10: which necessarily follows, you know, you have an organization or
Speaker 10: an app rath that in order to try to cope
Speaker 10: with this, and again assuming that you're even well intended,
Speaker 10: because you can't deal with individuals you're dealing with collectives,
Speaker 10: so one size fits all. I read something really interesting
Speaker 10: on lou Rockwell the other day and you may have
Speaker 10: seen it too, was by a doctor whish I could
Speaker 10: remember the guy's name, and he talked about one of
Speaker 10: the problems with vaccines in the context of government mandates
Speaker 10: and all of that, is that you don't have individualized
Speaker 10: treatments for particular people whose physiology, whose history may be different.
Speaker 10: You have a one size fits all shot that is
Speaker 10: injected into everybody and may have pernicious results in some
Speaker 10: people by dint of the fact that that particular person
Speaker 10: may have a different metabolism or history or something that
Speaker 10: if you took the time to deal with that person
Speaker 10: as an individual and tailor or treatment according to that
Speaker 10: particular person, the outcome would have been positive rather than negative.
Speaker 10: But we have to have this one size fits all.
Speaker 10: Everybody's the same, you know. So it's going to get
Speaker 10: to the point where it's just like you know, in
Speaker 10: the movie Depiction of or Worlds nineteen eighty four, everybody
Speaker 10: wears the party onesie, you know, the jumpsuit you're all,
Speaker 10: you know, like all fitting clothes. You're wearing the same
Speaker 10: bad quality food. You're driving your government motors approved vehicle
Speaker 10: that's the same as everybody else's vehicle. You know, it
Speaker 10: literally sucks the life out of life. You want to
Speaker 10: just sameness this brutalist you know, no latitude, no, no creativity, no,
Speaker 10: you know, hey, let's try this, let's do something differently.
Speaker 10: All has to be the same.
Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting that you should?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I think you brought this up when you were
Speaker 1: chatting with David before about brutalist architecture and artwork, and
Speaker 1: you know that there's something very anti human about it,
Speaker 1: because you know, humans tend to be attracted to things
Speaker 1: that have certain qualities to them, and you can see this.
Speaker 1: You can see it with babies, you can see it
Speaker 1: with animals. Animals are attracted to certain things, and the
Speaker 1: brutalist thing is almost anti nature. It's very, very strange.
Speaker 1: I could never understand it. You look at the Boston
Speaker 1: City Hall building, which is one of the ugliest buildings
Speaker 1: ever created, and that thing should have been torn down
Speaker 1: the minute they put it up, right, they should never
Speaker 1: have put it up. And as a perfect example of
Speaker 1: how it's almost put up as an insult to people
Speaker 1: in a way.
Speaker 10: No, it's purposeful.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: I read a book once about Albert Spear, who was
Speaker 10: Hitler's architect, and describing what he was trying to accomplish
Speaker 10: building the new Riche Chancellory, which doesn't exist anymore in Berlin,
Speaker 10: and it was an example of the brutalist architecture.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: The entrance to Hitler's office had doors that were I
Speaker 10: think fourteen or fifteen feet high something like that. You
Speaker 10: know that they were designed to be intimidating and to dehumanized,
Speaker 10: to make people feel small in the presence of omnipotent government,
Speaker 10: you know, as I'm as embodied by Hitler, and the
Speaker 10: same with regard to these these proletarian apartment buildings that
Speaker 10: you see in Eastern Europe and in the Russia, remnants
Speaker 10: of the old Soviet Union. It's designed to make people
Speaker 10: feel small and helpless, to to smash their individuality, to
Speaker 10: make them feel like just an atom, you know, part
Speaker 10: of some greater, big collective as opposed to an individual
Speaker 10: that has some power.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Twilight Zone, the Obsolete Man
Speaker 1: with Burgess Meredith when they opened those big, tall doors.
Speaker 1: I wonder for rod Sterling. Rod Sterling obviously was a
Speaker 1: big anti Nazi guy and understood quite well the problems
Speaker 1: of of course, as I might have mentioned this to Eric,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the people came out of
Speaker 1: World War two thought that the UN would be an
Speaker 1: answer to international conflicts and so on. So he actually
Speaker 1: like wrote a script in favor of the UN one time.
Speaker 1: But I wonder what he would think today. Uh let
Speaker 1: me ask you this before I want to get one
Speaker 1: more thought on one, more of your one and more
Speaker 1: of your articles, Eric Peters, Eric Peters autos dot com,
Speaker 1: and I want to turn to some of the comments
Speaker 1: from people here. Uh, let's see, we've got inside Rockfinn.
Speaker 1: Let's see some of the folks who are in there.
Speaker 1: A lot of comments from people going back and forth,
Speaker 1: tons of comments. Actually, we've got uh Wes robertson communism
Speaker 1: and uh uh let me see my i Q micro
Speaker 1: dot says, when most folks are so jammed up on
Speaker 1: religion they cannot eat, plurbus unham. I always look through
Speaker 1: lens of love, but I see mostly deranged g m
Speaker 1: O people repeating senseless pap by rote. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because the religion of the state is what
Speaker 1: they try to use to replace you know, individual connection
Speaker 1: to God and neighbors. Let me see a couple other
Speaker 1: ones here over at Rumble. Okay, we've got don't frag me,
Speaker 1: bro is chatting with someone, says, First comes the kind
Speaker 1: tyranny with drugs to make us think we are happy.
Speaker 1: Then comes the boot on the neck. Well on the
Speaker 1: drug subject, Eric, I'd love to get your thoughts on this,
Speaker 1: because I got one final one on of course, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is going to save the world by essentially making
Speaker 1: Mexico more of a vassal state and using the word
Speaker 1: terrorism to describe drug dealers. Because terrorism is an easily
Speaker 1: malleable word. It can be turned into anything.
Speaker 5: So here we go, dude, it's going to change everything.
Speaker 5: Look at this.
Speaker 17: When I am back in the White House, I will
Speaker 17: immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using
Speaker 17: to exploit vulnerable women and children.
Speaker 5: We will fully secure the border. I will wage war on.
Speaker 17: The cartels, just as I destroyed the ISIS Caliphate one
Speaker 17: hundred percent gone, one hundred percent destroyed. They'll come back
Speaker 17: now because we have a weak administration. I will use
Speaker 17: Title forty two today.
Speaker 1: So let me just ask, is anybody aware that he
Speaker 1: sat in Syria and worked with ISIS splinter groups.
Speaker 10: Well, the thing that as sounds me the most, you know,
Speaker 10: when he talks about this issue, as far as I know,
Speaker 10: for the most part, probably for ninety nine point nine percent,
Speaker 10: regardless of what you think about illegal drugs or street drugs,
Speaker 10: they use the term pusher. You know, people voluntarily buy
Speaker 10: these drugs. You know, the drug dealer has no power
Speaker 10: to make you take his drugs. Meanwhile, juxtapose that with
Speaker 10: the Orange Man who used the power of the federal
Speaker 10: government to coerce people to take these drugs, who pushed
Speaker 10: drugs during the aftermath of the pandemic, who actually pushed them, employers,
Speaker 10: the military, you name it. You know, people were presented
Speaker 10: with the option if you don't take these drugs, you're
Speaker 10: going to lose your job, you're going to get kicked
Speaker 10: out of the military, you're going to miss your kids,
Speaker 10: can't go to school. That's pushing people. Again. I'm not
Speaker 10: you know, I'm not advocating the people take fentanyl or
Speaker 10: any other street drug. I'm just saying that for the
Speaker 10: most part, these drugs are offered to people who choose
Speaker 10: to take them. They're not being pushed on anybody exactly.
Speaker 1: And you know I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy last night,
Speaker 1: I was working on a novel and I found out
Speaker 1: that the Dea of of of the US was working
Speaker 1: with the Sineloa cartel because the Cineloa. They said, Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll give you an easy ride in the United States,
Speaker 1: will be hands off for you in certain areas, if
Speaker 1: you'll work in Mexico to keep crushing the smaller guys,
Speaker 1: and you'll be you'll remain dominant. They literally did this
Speaker 1: the Dea of the United States, which of course as
Speaker 1: an unconstitutional agency, and no one seems to question these
Speaker 1: things anymore. They don't question the way the members of
Speaker 1: law enforcement against prohibition former cops will show that even
Speaker 1: after all these decades of the so called drug war,
Speaker 1: you know, treating it as if we ourselves are terrorists.
Speaker 1: Right again, they use this term. Look at what I
Speaker 1: mentioned last night on the show. Look at what the
Speaker 1: FBI did with those parents who were concerned about their schools.
Speaker 1: They sent they they contacted the National Association of school
Speaker 1: Boards and they said, hey, this is the Biden administration
Speaker 1: win going, why don't you write letters to us and
Speaker 1: say you're concerned about these dangerous parents coming in who
Speaker 1: are threatening LGBTQ or teachers, and then we will set
Speaker 1: FBI agents on them. It's just absurd. They use this
Speaker 1: language to scare people. And the drugs are not something
Speaker 1: that are being forced on me the way the US
Speaker 1: government policy is.
Speaker 10: And it's also entirely arbitrary. I like the construction the
Speaker 10: war on some drugs. You know, I can't remember who
Speaker 10: came up with that, but it's apt, isn't it, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 10: of the so called war on some drugs. You know,
Speaker 10: alcohol is perfectly legal, and I don't have a problem
Speaker 10: with people drinking beer or wine or liquor or whatever.
Speaker 10: But the point is there's this this bizarre incongruity. The
Speaker 10: cop who arrests you because you've got a bag of
Speaker 10: pot in your pocket goes home and drinks a six
Speaker 10: pack of beer and probably beats his wife. You know,
Speaker 10: it's that's it all out of your head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's that's one of the main problems that
Speaker 1: I have, is is you know, it's the and and
Speaker 1: as you say, the larger the system, the more the
Speaker 1: more easily these people, the easier the facility for them
Speaker 1: to be able to get away with wrongdoing. And this
Speaker 1: is exactly what we see with US international relations, whether
Speaker 1: it's Ukraine and the bio labs, the corruption there with
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, whether it's Syria and the money that's going
Speaker 1: over to them, all sorts of things international black rock,
Speaker 1: the green stuff, with the you know, the buyouts of
Speaker 1: these companies and and they steer people's behavior. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Let's end on this, however, because over on your website, Eric,
Speaker 1: you have something that I'm so happy about. What's that
Speaker 1: you play?
Speaker 5: The music?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, I want to do this is the Rockford car
Speaker 1: the Firebird. So I don't have the theme for Rockford here,
Speaker 1: which is a great theme at the tonally your name
Speaker 1: and message. I'll get back to you. Tell us about
Speaker 1: this piece. TV and movie cars are often remembered fondly
Speaker 1: and for longer than the actors who drove them. You
Speaker 1: have smoking the bandon in here, so tell us about this.
Speaker 1: The Rockford Files.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, to set the stage back in the seventies,
Speaker 10: there was a TV show called The Rockford Files. You know,
Speaker 10: people who are under thirty today probably won't remember it,
Speaker 10: but it was about a kind of low rent p
Speaker 10: I He didn't have a lot of money. He lived
Speaker 10: in a trailer by the beach, so he couldn't afford
Speaker 10: a trans Am, which was the top of the line
Speaker 10: version of the Pontiac Firebird, so he drove what you
Speaker 10: see there, which was a base Firebird. But the neat
Speaker 10: thing about the car back in those days, you know,
Speaker 10: Pontiac offered you the option to select a la carte
Speaker 10: from the transam's performance hardware. In other words, you could
Speaker 10: buy the base Firebird without all the cost padding extras,
Speaker 10: but you could pick the transam's high performance engine, the transmission,
Speaker 10: the heavy duty suspension, and basically have a Transam that
Speaker 10: didn't look like one for a lot less money, you know.
Speaker 10: And Ford did the same thing. You probably remember this,
Speaker 10: and they're going fast forward a little bit to the
Speaker 10: eighties and into the nineties with the Mustang LX five oh,
Speaker 10: which they took the base Mustang, you know, which ordinarily
Speaker 10: was a kind of a secretary's car, a grocery gether car,
Speaker 10: came with a little four cylinder engine, and they fitted
Speaker 10: it out with the Mustang GTS high Performance V eight,
Speaker 10: same transmission, heavy duty suspension and all of that, but
Speaker 10: for a lot less But it didn't look like a
Speaker 10: Mustang GT. Unfortunately, you can't have that today anymore. You know,
Speaker 10: if you want to, if you want the performance car,
Speaker 10: you have to buy the performance car at the top
Speaker 10: of the line model, and unfortunately that's pushing you know it. Particularly,
Speaker 10: I feel bad for people who are in their twenties today,
Speaker 10: you know, who'd like to have a fun car like that,
Speaker 10: but they can't come up with a forty plus thousand
Speaker 10: dollars And it takes, you know, to buy a current
Speaker 10: Mustang GT, because Ford won't sell them a de contented
Speaker 10: based Mustang with the GT's drive line for you know,
Speaker 10: ten grand less.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, I you know, to have many more
Speaker 1: options would be so much fun. And I love the
Speaker 1: idea you have the the embedded video of Jay Leno, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, was I got to meet him after
Speaker 1: he did a show in Boston one time and he
Speaker 1: was driving his mom's Gigantic I think it was like
Speaker 1: a Lincoln and it was starting to snow and I
Speaker 1: saw him after the show. I was walking along Commonwealth
Speaker 1: Avenue in Boston and he was pulling out from one
Speaker 1: of the parking lot's. See it had done a show
Speaker 1: at bu and it was at the time when he
Speaker 1: when he would take the questions of what's your beef,
Speaker 1: what's your beef, and he would, you know, start talking
Speaker 1: about something, just riffing it would go. He just was
Speaker 1: hilarious spontaneously. And I see this big car pulling out
Speaker 1: and I see it's Jay and he rolls down the window.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, Jay, and the snow's coming down. It's
Speaker 1: just the two of us is sort of getting this
Speaker 1: like nighttime. He goes, Hey, how you doing. Like, it's
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. Man. You were really you were
Speaker 1: really funny man, really appreciated what you did. It was
Speaker 1: a great show. He goes, thanks, it's like you really
Speaker 1: do drive a big car and goes it's my mom's
Speaker 1: she lives in andover. I'm just driving back. He goes,
Speaker 1: I hope I make it. Her tires are really bald.
Speaker 1: So it was great. And and I love the embedded stuff.
Speaker 1: And you talk about the Mustang GT in here, and
Speaker 1: I think it's really neat that people had these types
Speaker 1: of options and in those days, as you say, teenagers
Speaker 1: could get the skills, they could work on these things
Speaker 1: and mess around with the cars.
Speaker 10: Yep, yep, it's a shame that we've lost that. I
Speaker 10: hope that we can recover it. And by the way,
Speaker 10: as far as Jay goes, you know, I've taken issue
Speaker 10: with him on a number of occasions for political points
Speaker 10: of view that he's taken. But he is a car guy.
Speaker 10: He does know his cars, and he does a really
Speaker 10: good job of collecting and preserving pieces of history, and
Speaker 10: so I will commend him for doing that. Yeah, that
Speaker 10: particular car in the video is actually one of the
Speaker 10: actual movie cars from Rockford Files.
Speaker 1: That's great, it's gorgeous. I wonder if that's the right
Speaker 1: license plate too, you know about that.
Speaker 10: I haven't had a chance to check it out, but
Speaker 10: it could be.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I I don't know if
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever told you Eric, but
Speaker 1: you know the story about Rockford. Did I ever tell
Speaker 1: you about where Rockford came from? I don't know if
Speaker 1: I mentioned this too, Like the show, Yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: how the character started, you know, Oh yeah, yeah. Okay.
Speaker 1: So when I was a kid, ABC had a TV
Speaker 1: show called Toma and it was on for one season
Speaker 1: and I played the theme on Liberty Conspiracy because the
Speaker 1: theme is great. And my brother, seven years my elder
Speaker 1: We had a real to real tape recorder and he
Speaker 1: would record television themes before the TV tunes people at
Speaker 1: the CDs. He had them all on tape. We had
Speaker 1: everything John Williams had done, you know, time Tunnel Voyage,
Speaker 1: at the Bottom of the Sea, all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: he recorded the Rockford Files theme and all those things.
Speaker 1: But before he got the Rockford Files. A couple of
Speaker 1: years before that, there was a show called Toma. It
Speaker 1: had a great theme. It was done by the guy
Speaker 1: who did the theme for Hill Street Blues and all
Speaker 1: those things, and it was about a guy in New
Speaker 1: York who was a police officer, a real guy, sort
Speaker 1: of like the guy al Pacino played in the movie
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but he was like an undercover cop
Speaker 1: and he was he actually was real and he was
Speaker 1: known as a really good undercover cop, man of a
Speaker 1: thousand faces, named David Toma. And there was a book
Speaker 1: called Toma and it was his story about infiltrating the
Speaker 1: street gangs and all those things. And so ABC put
Speaker 1: the show on and David Toma was actually like an
Speaker 1: advisor on the show. And the show was a hit.
Speaker 1: It was a It was like in the top ten
Speaker 1: and The lead actor who played David Toma was a
Speaker 1: guy named Michael or something Tony Mussante I think his
Speaker 1: name was, and uh so he I guess he, I guess.
Speaker 1: He didn't realize when he signed the contract that it
Speaker 1: was supposed to be like, you come back next year
Speaker 1: if it's a hit. So at the end of the
Speaker 1: season he's like, oh, that was fun. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do it anymore. You want to do something else?
Speaker 1: This is no wait wait, this is a hit show.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? How can you leave? He goes,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it anymore? He didn't want
Speaker 1: to do it. So instead what they did was they
Speaker 1: created essentially a Tooma like character in Bretta. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think I maybe we spoke. Yeah. So that
Speaker 1: gave Robert Blake, you know, as sad as you know,
Speaker 1: his story became later. It gave him a chance to
Speaker 1: have a second, you know, second role in life that
Speaker 1: he became a big hit. Barretta was huge, and curiously
Speaker 1: enough in that for the second season of Toma, they
Speaker 1: already had a bunch of scripts ready and one of
Speaker 1: the writers was Steven J. Cannell. It was one of
Speaker 1: his early shows and he of course went on to
Speaker 1: create the A Team and you know, uh, Magnum p
Speaker 1: I and all these different shows. So Canell had written
Speaker 1: a character who was a private eye in New York
Speaker 1: named Jim Rockford, and Rockford was gonna appear on TOMA,
Speaker 1: but he they never made this story. So he went
Speaker 1: to NBC. He expanded on the idea, and then he
Speaker 1: put Rockford on the beach in the in the little
Speaker 1: mobile home. And and so if that guy Tony Wassante
Speaker 1: had had decided to do the second season of TOMA,
Speaker 1: we never would have gotten Rockford. Files Bretta would never
Speaker 1: have been on, and all these people who did all
Speaker 1: these other shows, these actors, James Garner, their trajectories on
Speaker 1: their professions would have gone in completely different different directions.
Speaker 1: It's incredible to think of call to.
Speaker 10: Mind, which I know you're going to love this because
Speaker 10: you and I are mind melding here. And many people
Speaker 10: who aren't people like us, don't know this, but I
Speaker 10: know you do. Jeffrey Hunter, who was the original Captain
Speaker 10: of the Enterprise, yes, and who decided that I don't know,
Speaker 10: I've got better things to do than to be the
Speaker 10: Captain of the Enterprise, and that's when they brought in
Speaker 10: William Shatner, and probably Jeffrey Unterer really regrets that he
Speaker 10: didn't yeah to be the captain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I got to say, I think I think
Speaker 1: that the move, you know, the necessity to get someone
Speaker 1: new and bringing in William Shatner. Having met William Shatner personally,
Speaker 1: the Star Trek owes so much to the energy, you know,
Speaker 1: as much as people said it was difficult to work
Speaker 1: with him because he was always looking for the limelight
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever, I don't think people understand unless, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I've worked in Star Trek and I've met
Speaker 1: William Shatner a couple of times. The energy that he
Speaker 1: provided and still provides, and is what is he ninety now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, and the way that, yeah, he really did
Speaker 1: a lot for Star Trek and he still does. So
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I forgot about that.
Speaker 10: The chemistry between not just Shatner but also n Mooy
Speaker 10: and Forest Kelly and those guys. You know, I don't
Speaker 10: It was not something that was planned. It's just something
Speaker 10: that was happenstance, but in a really good way because
Speaker 10: it just created, as you say, that energy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, not a par Trek. I apologize, No, no,
Speaker 1: it can't be duplicated. It's it's an incredible thing and
Speaker 1: it really is something to see too. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw they did recently. They used Ai and
Speaker 1: an actor to sort of be the basis for Shatner,
Speaker 1: and they had Shatner coming from the last of the
Speaker 1: movies that Generations scene where he was with Captain Picard
Speaker 1: and so on, and that that was done by Brandon Braga,
Speaker 1: and I was a little disappointed the way they did that,
Speaker 1: but they sort of have a nice final chapter for
Speaker 1: William Shatner Nimoy, because Shatner was a little bit disappointed
Speaker 1: and saddened obviously by the passing of Nimoy, but also
Speaker 1: the way that their relationship didn't quite end. I think
Speaker 1: the way many people would hope that a relationship, if
Speaker 1: it's got to end, as they all do, you would
Speaker 1: want it to end on a positive note. And it
Speaker 1: ended up that h Leonar Nimoy had stopped talking to
Speaker 1: William Shatner because there was a misunderstanding Shatner was involved
Speaker 1: with the documentary on the Captains of Star Trek or
Speaker 1: something was on Star Trek and the production team I
Speaker 1: guess Shatner was involved with it. They had approached Nimoy
Speaker 1: to get some footage of Nimoy, and Nimoy was busy
Speaker 1: or something, and like he didn't reply or something. They
Speaker 1: didn't get a reply from him, so they took some
Speaker 1: footage of Nimoy from one of the Star Trek conventions
Speaker 1: and they didn't get Nimoy's permission, and they put it
Speaker 1: in this movie. Yeah, and you know the other I
Speaker 1: guess the people making it, they didn't think anything of it.
Speaker 1: They're just like, well, you know, running out of time,
Speaker 1: We've got this footage, you know, let's get Leonard and
Speaker 1: put him in. We'll mak him part of it. But
Speaker 1: Leonard Nimoy, he was very upset, I guess, and so
Speaker 1: Shatner tried to communicate with him and you know, tried
Speaker 1: to apologize and so on, and it just didn't go.
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is this new production from Star Trek.
Speaker 1: It's about a ten minute thing. You can find it
Speaker 1: on YouTube. It's got millions of views now, and it's
Speaker 1: essentially they used AI to take the character of Captain Kirk,
Speaker 1: who was sort of stuck in this weird like eternal
Speaker 1: vortex thing where he can live forever. It's like heaven.
Speaker 1: It's this weird sort of pseudoscience of heaven. After he
Speaker 1: had been such a hero and his character dies at
Speaker 1: the end of the Generation's movie, they have him emerge
Speaker 1: from this to be able to be there when Spock
Speaker 1: dies and hold his hand, and it's very interesting because
Speaker 1: he passes through seeing all these different characters, like Robin Curtis,
Speaker 1: who played Savik in Star Trek two and three. She's there.
Speaker 1: She's a really nice actress, a really nice person, so
Speaker 1: she's in the film. So they brought all these people
Speaker 1: back and leonarding Moy's wife and I think his son
Speaker 1: and Shatner were all involved in the production. So it
Speaker 1: shows that Shatner had a very He was able to
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with the family. They don't have
Speaker 1: any problems with William Shatner. They've forgiven and that itself
Speaker 1: is a nice to me in the end. You know,
Speaker 1: all of these theatrical things. As I've gotten older, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel the same way or you
Speaker 1: probably were way ahead of me on this, but to me,
Speaker 1: it's just people taking a stage and I want to
Speaker 1: see them as people. You know, having worked on the
Speaker 1: sound stages and been there, and I was in the
Speaker 1: same sound stage where they shot Bonanza. You know, they're
Speaker 1: just people walking on the concrete. They're doing their work
Speaker 1: for their families, and and that human touch, that touching
Speaker 1: way that those people can say, Yes, that other stuff
Speaker 1: isn't important. It's the love that we have for each other.
Speaker 1: And that's that's it. It's great to see. It's a
Speaker 1: wonderful little thing that really doesn't mean as much about
Speaker 1: the characters as it does about the people who are
Speaker 1: alive today, and it makes you think about your friends
Speaker 1: and maybe getting in touch with them. It's great, absolutely,
Speaker 1: it does.
Speaker 10: Sure, you know, we're only here for a limited time.
Speaker 10: You know, let's not forget that, and let's make the
Speaker 10: best of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well look, Eric, I better get going, and
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. You stayed extra here on the David
Speaker 1: Night Show. And I hope, hopefully we'll drive people over.
Speaker 1: I hope they can go over to Eric Peters autos
Speaker 1: dot com. We're going to show side again. My computer's
Speaker 1: been going a little slow here occasionally, I noticed, but
Speaker 1: there you go. Rockford's car. By the way.
Speaker 10: I just want to mention to people who maybe aren't
Speaker 10: familiar with the site that unlike X, we don't charge
Speaker 10: anything for people to have full access and for people
Speaker 10: who want to post whatever they'd like to post, and
Speaker 10: they can do it in either of two ways. There
Speaker 10: are comments following all the articles, and again you don't
Speaker 10: have to pay any fee at all to say whatever
Speaker 10: you'd like as long as you like. And there's also
Speaker 10: a forum area which is somewhat hard to find that
Speaker 10: if you if you just keep scrolling down that you
Speaker 10: will see a little farther. If you keep continue scrolling down,
Speaker 10: there you go the forum and that's just sort of
Speaker 10: a free form conversation area that you can go to
Speaker 10: if you're interested in posting something about whatever you'd like
Speaker 10: to post, and it can be book length if you
Speaker 10: feel like it. So you know, we just have that
Speaker 10: for people as an alternative to the speech suppression platform
Speaker 10: that Elon Musk likes to call X.
Speaker 1: Fantastic Eric, Hey, by the way, Merry Christmas late and
Speaker 1: also Happy New Year. I'm probably just smiling beaming too
Speaker 1: much here, but maybe that's been the thing that slowed
Speaker 1: the computer down occasionally here. But just awesome to talk
Speaker 1: to you, and I want to say obviously you're one
Speaker 1: of the favorites. Who is on with David on his
Speaker 1: show and I see Birdhouse Blues is there from the
Speaker 1: Southwest and he says, I don't see any more sci
Speaker 1: fi shows on regular TV. What a shame. And Jason
Speaker 1: Barker is there from Nights of the Storm and he says,
Speaker 1: he says, Eric is on Rumble too. Libertarian car Guy.
Speaker 1: Eric is on Rumble Libertarian car guy boy. Eric, this
Speaker 1: is good. You've got a lot of people like you, Man,
Speaker 1: good stuff.
Speaker 10: I'm honored. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll have to send them their subsidies later, right.
Speaker 10: I don't have much to subsidize with you.
Speaker 1: I a lot of cats. That's it. Oh man, Thank
Speaker 1: you Eric. Great to talk to you, my friend. I
Speaker 1: hope people will check you out and remember libertarian card
Speaker 1: g on X.
Speaker 10: That's it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, you got it? Thank you Eric. Oh,
Speaker 1: terrific stuff. Boy. Thanks for your comments everyone, wonderful, wonderful stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave you with something that is a bit
Speaker 1: about warfare, and it'll sort of round things off as
Speaker 1: we talk about Donald Trump. I often will play themes
Speaker 1: on the program, and for this one, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Edwin Starr War. And then we're going to turn
Speaker 1: to some other good people that I really like, the
Speaker 1: folks at antiwar dot Com and Dave DeCamp awesome people.
Speaker 1: I'm friends with one of the folks just you know,
Speaker 1: disclosure name, and one of the folks at anti ward
Speaker 1: named Angela Keaton. But I just admire the work of
Speaker 1: the other people. I haven't met them directly, but here's
Speaker 1: a little something to get us into the final segment
Speaker 1: here on the program.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what.
Speaker 2: Absolutely can what absolu changing y'all?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 3: What absolutely too? Mats and.
Speaker 2: Vanessa gone to fight and.
Speaker 3: Who God, y'all what.
Speaker 1: A voice amazing Edwin Starr And Uh, I was Mary
Speaker 1: Ellen Moore, might have been Emmy.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's someone else, maybe Nancy Chambers who mentioned that
Speaker 1: he passed away a number of years ago. I believe
Speaker 1: he was sixty one years of age. So rest in
Speaker 1: peace to him. And unfortunately, we just want to bring
Speaker 1: up something really really stark information from You can find
Speaker 1: anti War News with Dave DeCamp Monday through Friday, at
Speaker 1: about midnight each night into the morning, they released their videos.
Speaker 1: Dave is the editor at anti war dot Com and
Speaker 1: I rely on them so much, especially recently, they've just
Speaker 1: been just so important for me to see. And so
Speaker 1: they have a report preceding you can see the red
Speaker 1: here on the video where they're talking about four babies
Speaker 1: die of hypothermia in Gaza, and he also discusses reports
Speaker 1: of starvation famine inside Gaza with of course weapons, that
Speaker 1: the United States could stop this in a few days
Speaker 1: if they would just even stop giving them the repair
Speaker 1: materials that the IDF needs to continue their slaughter there.
Speaker 1: And regardless of how one feels about who should be
Speaker 1: there and who should not be there, how about not
Speaker 1: invading my home and taking my money or saying that
Speaker 1: the government can invade my home if I don't give
Speaker 1: them my money to pay for all this slaughter. But
Speaker 1: the next story is such a contrast. After he talks
Speaker 1: about the four babies dying of hypothermia, watch.
Speaker 18: This Gaza for IDF soldiers. Here, Israel builds a beachside
Speaker 18: resort in Gaza for IDF soldiers.
Speaker 1: So these are that Israel builds a beachside resort in Gaza,
Speaker 1: that's Palestine, for IDF soldiers, right after he's discussing four
Speaker 1: children dying of hypothermia.
Speaker 18: This is it Israel builds a beachside resort in Gaza
Speaker 18: for IDF soldiers. So the Israeli military has built a
Speaker 18: beachside resort on the coast of the northern Gaza Strip
Speaker 18: where IDF soldiers occupying the Palestinian territory can relax and
Speaker 18: take a break from waging a genocidal war. So, according
Speaker 18: to the Israeli news site Wyet, the retreat, as they
Speaker 18: called it, was built alongside a water desalination plant that
Speaker 18: provides sixty thousand liters of drinking water per day. At
Speaker 18: the resort, IDF soldiers can enjoy a cafe, hotel style meals, massages,
Speaker 18: and hot showers, and they have access to mental health
Speaker 18: support and medical services. And yes, this is a picture
Speaker 18: of an IDF soldier using a cotton candy machine making
Speaker 18: cotton candy at this beachside resort. And this is what
Speaker 18: the Wyet Israeli media called this a beachside resort. So
Speaker 18: the chief warrant Officer, the head of the food services
Speaker 18: for the IDF Southern Command told Wyet, quote, you know
Speaker 18: this is Gaza, right, yet we've created a sense of
Speaker 18: home here with iced coffee, espresso, protein shakes, toast shakshuka,
Speaker 18: fresh fruit, and even ice cream on warmer days.
Speaker 5: End quote.
Speaker 18: So in one part of Gaza, in most of Gaza,
Speaker 18: you have these families living intense, babies dying of hypothermia,
Speaker 18: people being bombed in their tents, journalists, doctors being killed.
Speaker 18: And then in another part you have the soldiers that
Speaker 18: are committing those atrocities, hanging out making cotton candy, getting
Speaker 18: iced coffee men. And then the wine Net report said
Speaker 18: that the IDF has built similar refreshment centers elsewhere in Gaza,
Speaker 18: but they don't match the scope and quality of this one.
Speaker 18: The construction of such facilities is just the latest sign
Speaker 18: that Israel is planning for a long term military occupation
Speaker 18: of Gaza and is not interested in a hostage deal
Speaker 18: with Hamas that would lead to a permanent ceasefire. Colonel
Speaker 18: Michael Azuli, a logistics officer for the Southern Command, said, quote,
Speaker 18: the facilities deployment reflects our readiness for prolonged operations even
Speaker 18: if a ceasefire is reached in the context of a
Speaker 18: hostage exchange end quote. So he's saying, even if there's
Speaker 18: a ceasefire, we're here. We're here for the long term
Speaker 18: and then I mentioned in the article all the you know,
Speaker 18: the places like the net Zurum Corridor where they've demolished
Speaker 18: all the buildings and established military bases. They've also done
Speaker 18: that in the Philadelphi Corridor along the entire border Israel
Speaker 18: Gaza border, which they call the Buffer Zone. Then the
Speaker 18: ethnic cleansing campaign. You know, they're going to do similar
Speaker 18: things in those northern areas, and of course this is
Speaker 18: all going to lead eventually to the establishment of Jewish
Speaker 18: settlements in Gaza. That is clearly the game plan here.
Speaker 18: And I mean, just the contrast between what these Israeli
Speaker 18: soldiers are doing at this resort and what the Palestinians
Speaker 18: are facing just absolutely shameful that the US government is
Speaker 18: supporting this funding and enabling all of this.
Speaker 1: Well amazing work, amazing reporting from the whole anti war team,
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know how they do a
Speaker 1: really really yeoman's effort. They do a great job in
Speaker 1: maintaining not an upbeat attitude, but maintaining their standards, being calm,
Speaker 1: and trying to report on things without having the tragedy
Speaker 1: just demoralize them and remove their energy and their capacity
Speaker 1: to continue in the face of adversity. And you know,
Speaker 1: it makes me think back to the opening talking about
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful life and how important it is to
Speaker 1: be in touch with each other and to tell each other,
Speaker 1: you know, how much we appreciate them, and to lend
Speaker 1: a hand once in a while, or if, uh, maybe
Speaker 1: you're you're on your own, go down to a local
Speaker 1: shop and see somebody occasionally, you know, give a compliment
Speaker 1: on something, that sort of thing, and you know, find
Speaker 1: some local people or send out a compliment if you're
Speaker 1: online real quick, that sort of thing. You know, that's
Speaker 1: a real benefit. And I know that Dave, Dave is
Speaker 1: aware of my compliments for his work over at at Antwerp,
Speaker 1: because I know Angela has mentioned. Angela and I got
Speaker 1: to speak on the phone a couple about a month ago.
Speaker 1: But so I know that they know how many people
Speaker 1: appreciate them. But I want to thank you, and I
Speaker 1: want to thank David for amazing work. Amazing work. Just
Speaker 1: it just it just puts a smile on your face
Speaker 1: thinking about how people can just be so great for
Speaker 1: each other. And again I'll remind you if you do
Speaker 1: want to donate, you can do do so over at
Speaker 1: rockfin or rumble to the David Knight Show and uh
Speaker 1: you can go over to the Davidnightshow dot Com or
Speaker 1: Davidknight dot gold. Thedavidnightshow dot Com allows you to check

Speaker 1: have a lot of fun with that. We'll cover a
Speaker 1: number of the stories like immigration and things that will
Speaker 1: pop up on the news very soon and are almost
Speaker 1: always perennial. So thank you to everybody for being here,
Speaker 1: and again anyone who had some comments. Little John is
Speaker 1: in the house inside Rockfinn. Thank you so much, Little John,
Speaker 1: and Shay Bishop is there. I really appreciate it. And
Speaker 1: he says US stakeholders have too much invested in the
Speaker 1: build of build Gaza back better, smart city plans, the canals, pipelines,
Speaker 1: disaster capitalism, and I think that's sort of the way
Speaker 1: that they're looking at rock fin That's the way they've
Speaker 1: sold it to a lot of the corporations. Isn't it crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, It's just I don't understand. It's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Birdhouse, thank you, he says, thanks Guard for
Speaker 1: being our substitute, because I'm a substitute for another guy.
Speaker 1: I didn't even shoot one spitball through my straw. Thank you,
